AU responds to SACS recommendations
By Lori Leath
News Staff
Auburn University made public
a week ago its response to crit-isms
by Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools, which is
the regional accrediting agency
for the University. The SACS
team visited Auburn last April to
review the University for accreditation
this year, part of a process
that happens every 10 years. The
SACS accredited the school for
the first time in 1922, and since
then, the school has been accredited
every ten years.
SACS made recommendations
in ten different areas in the final
report. In the review, university
officials stated that in a period of
a few months since the informal
report of last April, the University
has made considerable progress
toward implementation of
the recommendations.
Officials said some recommendations
will be helpful in planning
the University's future,
some must wait until the naming
of Auburn's new president, and
implementation of others will
depend upon the availability of
resources.
In the final review, SACS said
"meeting each standard is not all
that is required for accreditation
by and membership in the Southern
Association." The main concern
lies with the totality of effort
in which these suggestions are
carried out.
The first area of recommendations
by SACS was a statement of
purpose of the University. The
report said there is a need for a
statement of purpose that is
"generally understood and is
supported by the university
community." It should provide
clear direction and unity to the
programs and services of the
University. The University
responded by forming a subcommittee
to come up with a sta
tement of purpose which was
approved by the Board of Trustees
Friday.
In the area of organization and
administration, the report said
the trustees need to define their
responsibilities and come up with
a set of bylaws to govern the
board.
In response, the university
established a trustee subcommittee
to draft bylaws.
The bylaws which were also
approved by the Board, define the
responsibilities of the trustees, as
well as the board's relationship
with the president and other
administrators.
SACS also recommended that
the University clearly define the
duties and responsibilities of the
president and his staff. The University,
however, has decided to
postpone any action until a new
president has been named.
For the educational program,
SACS recommended the University
establish a general policy for
admissions, and that such a policy
be published and distributed.
The University said it believes
there is a well-defined policy
which includes admission of students.
The admissions program
is designed to admit only those
students who are likely to meet
academic success. Applications
are evaluated mainly on high
school grades and test data, but
lower test scores can be supplemented
by high secondary school
grades.
Other areas of concern in the
report by the SACS were financial
resources, faculty, library,
student development, physical
resources, special activities, and
graduate programs.
In the financial area, long-range
planning is being implemented
and measures are being
taken to increase revenues and
stabilize or reduce expenditures.
For the faculty, the committee
recommended that academic
administrators should be periodically
evaluated. The University
currently has an evaluation plan
for the School of Arts and Sciences
and in the School of Architecture
and Fine Arts. Other evaluation
plans are in the development
process.

Staffers, faculty
tardy with fines
Twenty beautiful years
Coeds part of 'lovely' tradition
By Bob Murdaugh
News Staff
The University Faculty Senate
met Tuesday to discuss the
increasing amount of unpaid
faculty parking tickets and consulting
and extra compensation
policies for faculty members.
During the two hour meeting
Chairman Curt Peterson
announced that the Executive
Committee had been asked to
study recommendations of
deducting amounts from faculty
payrolls for unpaid parking
tickets. After the announcement
was made, two faculty members
were called on to give their views
of the recommendations under
study.
Faculty senate Chairman-
Elect Gerald Johnson, Professor
of Political Science, said that the
problem of unpaid faculty parking
tickets evolves from a few
people with outstanding a-mounts
who have ignored their
growing totals.
"There are unpaid faculty
parking fines totalling approximately
$60,000," he said. "There
is no way to collect from all of
those who owe, though the committee
assigned to the situation is
trying to find a solution. This
situation is an example of limited
anarchy."
According to Dottie Marsinko,
a former member of the Parking
and Traffic Committee, "suggestions
were taken from representatives
of other schools where
there are problems similar to the
problem of unpaid faculty tickets
here. Our students are over a barrel
with coping with tickets and
fines, and too many faculty and
staff members are getting by
without paying."
After comments from Johnson
and Marsinko, other members of
the Faculty Senate complained
that using payrolls as the solution
to the problem of unpaid
fines will do more harm than
good. One member suggested
that the situation be left to the
courts in the same ways that student
fines are handled.
The committee studying
recommedations to deduct from
faculty and staff payrolls for
unpaid parking tickets is made
up of James M. Dawsey, Professor
of Religion, who is chairman
of the committee; Bill Hardy, Professor
of Agriculture Economics,
Chairman of the University
Parking and Traffic Committee,
who serves as ex officio member;
and two other representatives.
In old business, a draft of a
proposed consulting and extra
compensation policy was presented
to the present Faculty
Senate, members. Representing
the Executive Branch of the
Senate, Dr. Paul Parks, Vice-
President of Research and Dean
of Graduate School, reported on
the structure of the proposed policy
and helped to answer questions
from other Faculty Senate
members.
He stressed that there would be
flexibility in carrying out the policy,
which was designed to prevent
faculty and staff members
from taking too much time away
from their classroom responsibilities
for external consulting and
participation in University
activities.
After Parks' report, there was
much discussion about the clarity
and validity of the proposed

Features Staff
Turning through the yellowed
pages of a July 6, 1950 issue of
The Auburn Plainsman, one
would come across the first of a
special series of features that
would become a tradition for the
next 20 years.
Every week a coed, chosen by
the Plainsman staff, was featured
on the front page of The
Plainsman as the "Loveliest of
the Plains." Her picture , along
with a short biography and list of
interests was the extent of the
feature.
The first "Loveliest of the
Plains" in the summer of 1950
was Louise Sanford of Prattville,
Alabama. The success of the series
during that summer led to the
continuation of the "Loveliest of
the Plains" in the fall and also
the adding of a sponsor.
The Plainsman announced the
first coed of the fall series and all
future coeds selected would
receive a carton of Chesterfield
cigarettes, the "Loveliest's" new
sponsor.
That only lasted for fall quarter,
but the "Loveliest of the
Plains" would continue to grace
the front page of the paper for the
next two decades.
The series even became a
means for advertising at times.
For example in 1954, Marylin
Griffin was photographed on a
road by Lake Chewacla to help
publicize the University's upcoming
Open House.
The caption says: All roads
lead to Auburn's Open House this
weekend. This one, which skirts
the stern and rockbound coast of
Lake Chewacla, also runs past
this weeks 'Loveliest of the
Plains...'
Many coeds who appeared as
one of the "Loveliests" often
apeared later as a campus beauty
queen of one sort or another. Several
Miss Auburn representatives
were former "Loveliest of the
Plains" and most every Homecoming
court included some of
the front page newspaper
beauties.
This special series continued in
its popularity through the '50s
and early '60s, but with the late
'60s came a changing role of
women in society and a changing
attitude toward the "Loveliest of
the Plains."

Trustees approve University purpose
The Board of Trustees attend annual Homecoming meeting
By Jill Payne
Assistant Technical Editor
The Auburn University Board
of Trustees Friday approved a
statement of purpose for the University
and a set of bylaws to be
used to define the boards powers
and responsibilities.
The Statement of Purpose "is a
consensus document, strongly
endorsed by the University
Senate and AUM officials,"
Interim-President Wilford S. Bailey
said.
University Senate members
voted last week to recommend to
the board a slightly revised version
of the purpose statement
drafted by Trustees James
Tatum of Huntsville, Morris
Savage of Jasper and John Den-son
of Opelika.
The accreditation committee of
the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools (SACS) suggested
last spring that the board
"define the functions of the University
to guide in future
planning."
A draft of bylaws for the Board
of Trustees, a subject of much
debate in recent months, was also
adopted by the board.
The bylaws, defining the "relationship
between the University
administration and the board
^and formalizing the procedures
of the Board," will become effective
next June, Bailey said.
The board also voted to provide
$1 million in scholarships next
year to 28 "academically superior"
freshmen.
The renewable scholarships
will be available to Alabama residents
through unrestricted
endowment funds, Bailey said.
The scholarship program was
recommended by an enrollment
committee "to attract academically
superior students to Auburn
and provide more educational
opportunities for incoming
freshmen," Bailey told the board.
The forty scholarships now
funded by the Auburn Alumni
Association are only available to
students for one academic year,
he said.

1982-83 budget which had been
affected by proration.
Last year, the trustee budget
committee limited spending due
to proration of the Alabama Special
Educational Trust Fund,
resulting in cuts in professor's
salaries and operational improvements.
A proposal for new safety lighting
of the city airport runway,
which is used by the University
flight training program, was
approved. The new navigational
equipment will cost the University
$5,000 and will not commit
the University to support of
future airport expansion, Denson
said.

chairman of the Presidential
Search Committee, said the

Week in
Review
The world remained watchful
as the Middle East continued
to experience turmoil this week.
U.S. Marines were forced to
leave their outpost Monday
after being caught in crossfire
outside of Beirut. And neighboring
Israelis insist they are
not planning to attack Syrian
troops despite emergency
mobilization of Syrian reserve
forces this week. In Washington,
a marble hallway outside
the Senate chamber was
bombed Monday, destroying
priceless works of art. And, the
Senate approved 47-46 the production
of nerve-gas weapons,
with Vice President George
Bush casting the deciding vote.
INTERNATIONAL
About 150 to 200 U.S.
Marines positioned at the northeast
corner of the Beirut airport
moved to Navy ships offshore
Tuesday when Lebanese
army troops and Druse militiamen
exchanged rockets, mortar
and machine-gun fire. The
crossfire forced authorities to
close the airport for the first
time since a cease-fire was
called six weeks ago in the war
between Lebanese religious
factions. One Marine was
reported wounded in the
crossfire.
And in Japan and South
Korea massive security forces
are being prepared to protect
President Reagan and his
wife as they make a visit to
Asia. Reagan said he will "work
hard to foster a new era of equality
and economic cooperation"
during his trip.
Syrians mobilized 100,000
reservists in conjunction with a
military alert this week. Israel
television said the Syrians
were responding in part to a military
drill for Israeli reserves.
The Israelis said they are not
planning to attack Syrians or
pull their forces out of
Lebanon.
NATIONAL
The Senate approved a
record $253 billion military
spending bill Tuesday, which
includes money for each of the
major weapons requested by
P r e s i d e n t Reagan. Nerve-gas,
the MX nuclear missile and
'Miss Homecoming'
a dream come true
long-range B-l bombers were
supported as a part of the
package.
While the Senate voted on
the weapons spending bill, FBI
agents sifted through a mound
of debris outside the chamber. A
bombing Monday destroyed a
hallway and damaged a meeting
room near the chamber
entrance. A group calling themselves
the "Armed Resistance
Unit" claimed responsibility for
the bombing, saying they were
p r o t e s t i n g the imperalist
aggression of the U.S. government.
Sen. Majority Leader
Howard H. Baker said the
Senate will not be intimidated
by the blast and "will conduct
business as usual in the mess."
The bombing, triggered by a
wristwatch officials said,
touched off a number of threats
to the Capital and surrounding
city area.
A House fact-finding mission's
report has convinced
House Speaker Thomas
O'Neill that the invasion of
Grenada by the United States
was "justified." O'Neill had
said that the action was one of
"gunboat diplomacy", and
some Democrats said his switch
was a "strategic retreat"
politically.
STATE
In Montgomery, Republican
Perry Hooper apparently won
the race for a legislative seat
from Montgomery, but his
opponent Rep. Ham Wilson
said he would not concede until
the saw the voting results. In
other Alabama elections,
Republicans, blacks and independents
made gains across the
state. The legislative election
had been ordered by a court
action and had been plagued by
claims that special interest
groups had had influence on the
Democratic Party.

Rickles, 21, is a senior in Public

Poison attempt made on
Auburn cheerleader
By David Hubbard
News Staff
A poisoning attempt was made
on an Auburn University cheerleader
during the October 29th
football game between Auburn
and Florida.
Rick Williams, an Auburn
cheerleader, was about to take a
drink of water when he found
dark pills floating in his cup. He
then turned the pills over to
authorities for analysis. It was
later found that the substance
was some form of barbituates.
Analyses indicated the barbituates
are those that are frequently
used for treating
arthritis.
During last week's game
between Auburn and Maryland,
security officials kept an especially
close watch for any suspicious
actions. Additional security
precautions are usually taken following
such an occurrence.
According to authorities, there
have been no leads on any suspects,
and no arrests have been
made in conjunction with the
incident.

Plaque bears forgotten names
By Karen Logan and Sue
Robuck
Features Staff
Editor's note: Information
taken from The Class of 1917,
World War One Class: A History
1913-1982
"In memory of the deceased and
on behalf of the surviving
members of the class of 1917, this
plaque is presented to Auburn
University...on the 60th anniversary
reunion, May 7, 1917."
Through these words a timeless
tribute silently rings forth
from a bronze plaque which may
be as forgotten as the names of
the men that appear on it.
Day after day the Foy Union
plaque is passed probably unnoticed
by most students, not realizing
these men, known as the
World War One Class, left
Auburn University to serve their
country only months before their
graduation.
In 1917, Auburn was known as
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, a
school whose student body was
composed primarily of men.
When the U.S. declared war,
April 6,1917, seniors were immediately
released to enter strategic
industry and officer training
camps. However, many
returned for diplomas at graduation
before completing training.
Feeling the bravery of this
group of men should not go unnoticed,
two members of the 1917
class, William K. Askew and
Judge E. Shotts Sr., began molding,
in early 1976, the idea of
creating a dedication in the form
of a bronze plaque.
Askew and Shotts discovered
upon investigation that an accurate
list of names to appear on the

plaque would have to be drawn
from five sources: the Annual
College Catalog, the Registrar's
Office, the Graduatin Program,
the Alumni Office records and
the 1917 Glomerata. Each list
was checked against the other to
get a final composite list.
It was decided to list the
schools with their enrollment in
alphabetical order rather than a
straight list of the class.
A sketch was made, and a
typewritten list was presented to
Dr. Harry M. Philpott, president
of Auburn at the time, through
Dr. H. F. Vallery, assistant to the
president. A question of precedent
was immediately raised. If
approval for the dedication was
given to the 1917 class, what
about other classes that might
wish to do the same thing?
Askew and Shotts contended
that no other class has a comparable
record to the 1917 class and
the chance of a plaque being
made to represent larger classes
was remote.
Philpott approved the project,
but when it was presented to the
Board of Trustees it was turned
down.
Following the refusal, Askew
made a full-scale model of the
upper one-third of the plaque that
would be represented in bronze.
With the model completed,
Vallery made a second presentation
to the Board, and the project
was accepted.
After the plaque was completed,
the next obstacle was to
find a suitable location for the
permanent installation. The
offers to place the plaque on campus
and in the Auburn Coliseum
were refused. Finally, a place for
the plaque was found in Foy
Union where it still hangs today.
Looking at the list of names
brilliantly set in bronze, one
imagines the sense of pride this
special class of Auburn students
must have had.
One member of the 1917 class
still remembers the feelings experienced
by these men. Guy O.
Burns was a senior in 1917 majoring
in animal husbandry. Burns
says upon declaration of the war,
he left Auburn and reported to
officer's t r a i n i n g camp in
Atlanta, Ga., one month prior to
graduation.
He returned to Auburn where
he graduated in uniform, without
taking final exams. Burns says
after graduation he left for
further training in coast artillery
before being sent to France.
Burns recalls that a sense of
patriotism prevailed even though
many men volunteered because
they knew a draft was inevitable.
The plaque will continue to
prompt a sense of patriotism and
be a reminder of a much admired
devotion of the men whose names
it bears.

Auburn has purpose
Congratulations, Auburn! We now
have a purpose.
In response to the accreditation report
released by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (SACS), the Board
of Trustees drafted a "consensus"
Statement of Purpose Friday.
The accreditation committee had
recommended highly that the board
"define the functions of the University
to guide in future planning."
The University has also responded to
other points mentioned in the accreditation
report, and has responded well.
The University wisely deferred
response to SACS recommendations
that it clearly define the duties of the
president and his staff until the new
president is chosen.
The University stood behind its
admissions policy, although SACS had
recommended the the University establish
a new policy.
Other areas which concerned the
SACS committee included Auburn's
financial resources, faculty, library,
student development, physical resources,
special activities and graduate
programs.
Auburn also responded in these areas,
offering solutions to what the committee
deemed problem areas.
These are all areas that have plagued
Auburn for a while, especially the
library. In the response the University
said it has set aside $130,000 to prepare
plans for a new addition to the library
building. Perhaps this is the issue of
paramount importance to the students.
We agree with Dr. Bailey when he says
"implementation of the recommendations
has begun." We only hope that, as
he also said, these implementations
"will remain a priority throughout the
coming year."
Time of trouble' over
The "Time of Troubles" for
Auburn's lecture series is over. After
the SGA thoughtlessly cut the entire
allocation for the University Lectures
Committee from the 1983-84
budget, an angel for higher education
through scholarly lecturers
came through.
That angel was Interim President
Wilford S. Baily, who created a Special
Lectures Committee and allocated
funds to finance the special
lectures.
This action came after requests
for such a committee by faculty and
students who raised an uproar after
the original lecture series was eradicated
by zero funding.
The original series was discontinued
because the SGA believed the
small number of students attending
the lectures justified the program's
termination.
With the creation of a new lecture
series, Auburn can once again promote
a genuine image of higher education
and provide an opportunity
for students to broaden their horizons
by experiencing other people's
views.
Already, Bailey's new committee
has brought (and will continue to
bring) informative guests whose
thought-provoking speeches encouraged
students to think.
Daniel Reedy, of the department
of Foreign Languages, University of
Kentucky and Wright Morris of the
department of English, University
of Alabama, both had the opportuni
ty to speak under the new
committee.
More lectures are planned for the
year, and the committee deserves
recognition and support for its
actions.
This is a reflection of our SGA as
well. Instead of supporting education
through stimulating and intellectual
activities, the SGA spends
the student's money on flashy, and
more often t h a n not, frivolous social
expenditures.
Beat Georgia!

Maryland Terrapins 35-23 in a difficult
Homecoming match-up, but the events
leading up to the Homecoming game
gave Auburn students a celebration that
could soon rival Bama's Blast and the
Gator Growl.
Yes, Tigermania: A Homecoming to
Remember was a success from The
Amazing Jonathan on Sunday night to
the massive pep rally in the Coliseum
Friday night before the game.
As on the field on Saturday, the key to
Tigermania'8 success was teamwork.
Not only from the principals, but from
everyone who attended or took part in
the events.
The UPC started the Tigermania
spark with the idea that Auburn needed
a Homecoming celebration comparable
to the Bama Blast and the Gator Growl.
However, without the help of the SGA
and ODK, this idea could have easily
fizzled, simply from a lack of resources
and, more importantly, manpower. But
these three organizations pulled
together and just look at what they
accomplished:
The UPC coordinated the week, setting
the framework for the celebration
with different events.
Starting the Sunday before Homecoming,
they sponsored a magician, two
bands, their regular free movies and the
hugely successful appearances by Phil
Donahue and Lionel Richie and the
Pointer Sisters.
The UPC was also instrumental in
publicizing the celebration and in planning
the culminating pep rally on Friday
night. Also, the UPC sponsored the
exciting fireworks display after the pep
rally.
The SGA also pooled its resources and
came up with a pep rally Friday night
that will be hard to beat. With Aubie, the
band, the football team, the University
Singers and lots of pep, the rally drew
thousands of students and helped to
spur the Tigers on.
P e r h a p s the most neglected
"partneri" in this Homecoming venture
has been ODK.
In 1937, ODK, the senior leadership
honorary, came up with the idea of a
"Miss Homecoming" celebration. Since
then, ODK has always sponsored the
Miss Homecoming election and the
judging of fraternity house decorations.
This year, to add to the excitement of
Friday's pep rally, ODK decided to
announce the winner of the Decorations
competition on Friday instead of at the
game Saturday.
It is concessions such as that that
made Tigermania the success that it
was. ODK could easily have refused to
announce the winner until Saturday,
but every organization involved wanted
to make this Homecoming special.
Also, this whole idea was conceived,
developed and presented within less
than four weeks.
The UPC was able to get a major
speaker, a major recording artist and
other events in record time.
Likewise, the music department was
able to rearrange the schedules of the
band and, especially, our busy University
Singers, to accomodate the pep
rally.
And the Spirit Committee of the SGA
was able to coordinate Aubie and the
cheerleaders for Friday's pep rally.
Last but not least, it was the students
that attended the events that really
made the week a success.
Instead of making Tigermania a
homecoming to forget, we truly made it
"a week to remember."
Christmas cheer already here?

Christmas—in November?
Well, actually it all began in October.
Not the holiday or festivities, mind
you, but the commerical blitz that usually
sets in long before the joyous day
arrives. And, for local stores, that blitz
began last month—two months before
Christmas.
There's something about Christmas
that strikes fear in every person's wallet
or pocketbook. (Not to mention bank
accounts and credit card charges.)
Stores are well aware of this fact and
seem to be in a mad dash to see who can
bankrupt a family first.
Before Halloween had come and gone,
cards carrying red and green greetings
began to appear in greeting card stores.
As soon as the kids had begged the
neighbors of all their candy and fruit,
merchants apparently decided the time
had come to begin the first influx of
Yuletide products on the market.
A Christmas tree, with lights and decorations,
has since magically sprung up
at the mall, and a local grocery store now
has the complete selection of napkins,
paper plates and cups for holiday
celebrations.
Perhaps I am alone in my dislike for
this practice, but I have always felt that
Christmas should be celebrated in
December—not in October. There will
always be a commercial aspect to the
holiday, as in the past, but need it start
two months prior to the holiday?
When I was younger, receiving the
Sears Wish Book symbolized the arrival
of the season. That is one catalog that
was appropriately named. To my elementary
mind, the complete array of
Barbie and Ken accessories was all that
could be wished for.
Unfortunately, as one grows up, the
conception he or she has of Christmas
changes. We begin to realize the
commerical aspect of the holiday and
why our parents always said Christmas
should be a time to give—and not to
receive.
Even more unfortunate, some people
forget to give and only think in terms of
what they will receive or can give in
order to get something in return.
All this is something that has become
an accepted part of our holiday celebration,
complete with bright bows and
shiny wrapping paper. Now, however,
you can wrap Junior's gift in October if
you want, because Christmas paraphernalia
will surely be available by
then.
There's just something about seeing
pumpkins and skeletons beside Christmas
cards and decorations that bothers
me. Why not take it one holiday at a
time? First comes Halloween, then
Thanksgiving and then comes Christmas?
I get the feeling that all Thanksgiving
means to many people is an
opportunity to eat a huge amount of food
(with good excuse) and watch football on
television. It becomes overshadowed
with thoughts of the upcoming
December holiday and lost in the advertising
campaigns.
Kids must really be excited when they
see Santa clones appearing everywhere.
Imagine living two months with a child
that constantly asks when Santa is coming.
I would guess some parents could
strangle businesses that put such materials
in circulation so early.
I even find myself buying such stuff.
But after buying it, I begin to lose enthusiasm
because the holiday is so far
away.
I would like to see the holidays taken
one at a time, the way they should be.
That way we could enjoy each one for
what it is, not what it costs.
The Christmas spirit is something
that could always be in season, but not
Christmas decorations.
Kennedy will not soon be forgotten
In a nation where few political leaders
are able to capture the love and respect
of its citizens as well as people around
the world, John F. Kennedy emerged as
a national figure not soon to be equalled.
And now, 20 years later, the tragedy of
Kennedy's assasination is still vividly
haunting to many.
As time passes, it is increasingly difficult
to remember those events which
have shaped our lives but most can
clearly recall the confusion, panic and
deep sense of loss felt on the day
Kennedy died.
Most of us are too young to have
understood at the time what was happening
yet most of us have heard the
stories and seen the pictures and can
almost feel the misery as if we were there
on the November day in Dallas.
It is saddening to many that we seldom
seem to realize what we have to lose
until it is gone.
In his lifetime, Kennedy was able to
unite a nation in turmoil, command the
respect of nations and bring some of the
most qualified individuals into the federal
government.
Each year, some three million people
from all over the world visit his grave at
Arlington cemetery to pay their
respects.
Although Kennedy's term as president
was short lived, he was able to
create a sense of hope for American people
that the government was able to do
some good for them.
Kennedy may be best remembered for
his unique ability to inspire blacks and
whites, politicians and businessmen,
and housewives as well as world leaders.
Kennedys unexpected assasination
made him an overnight hero and maybe
even an American martyr. His critics
later denounced him for his alleged poor
moral standards and claimed that his
politics tended to lean toward hype
publicity.
He was, however, a man, and any
questionable background which may
arise should be considered only in light
of his accomplishments.
The actual shooting of Kennedy has
been shrouded in controversy. There are
many who believe that there is still a
sinister story behind the assasination—
a story which has been covered up for
years.
Many theories have been formed surrounding
the alleged coverup which
may involve the FBI, CIA, the Mafia or
the Cuban government.
Researchers into the assasination
believe that there is still evidence to be
uncovered and may have been some evidence
that was destroyed.
It may never be truly known if Lee
Harvey Oswald acted alone when he
shot the president, and even if he wasn't
the tragedy is no less weakened.
Kennedy gave to the American people
a sense of optimism which will not be
soon forgotten and rekindled the spirit
of the "American dream."
We can only hope that our generation
will have the chance to witness another
great American like the one we lost in
John F. Kennedy.

Lebanon is torn by a civil war stemming

within Lebanon are too great for any
kind of internal reconciliation, and the
voluntary removal of these forces is
highly unlikely.
Although the leaders of Lebanon's
feuding factions met in Geneva last
week, their actions were all but futile,
because Lebanon is partitioned by foreign
control.
The conferees in Geneva defined the
national identity of Lebanon as " a free,
sovereign and independent state." If
only it were so.

Editor, The Plainsman:
Tigermania '83, Auburn's biggest
Homecoming celebration, is now over,
but the tradition has begun. Never
before has Auburn pulled together to
make Homecoming the event it should
be.
Little did we know that the idea of a
week-long homecoming celebration that
was "tossed around" at a UPC Council
meeting would turn out to be the overwhelming
success that it was.
From students to alumni and Auburn
residents it was made evident t h a t there
is a need and a desire for a homecoming
that is special.
Special thanks need to go out to the
SGA Spirit Committee and all the entertainers
who performed at the pep rally.
Also, a job well done by the UPC Council
who, in just over a month, planned what
I hope will be the first in a long line of
"Homecomings to Remember."
John Burgess Jr. and Marsha Mit-chum,
UPC Advisors, were instrumental
in making Tigermania a reality and
to them I say, "Thanks."
I challenge next year's student leaders
to continue and build Tigermania into a
homecoming celebration equaled by
few.

Prayers for 'Mrs. Eskew'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I was absolutely floored by Glenn
Eskew's editorial. In ono? paragraph, he
stated: "Although it is probably best for
the male to remain the breadwinner for
the family .." He makes it unclear as to
whether this is his feelinp or Donahue's,
but if it's his, I will begin praying
tonight for his future wife's sanity.
I am the primary breadwinner for our
family. Not because I'm smarter or
tougher, but because my husband has
chosen to teach retarded people—a field
with fairly low pay.
While I'm on temporary assignment
here at Auburn, he is caring for our baby
at night during the week at cur home
three hours away from here.
He does not feel that he is "picking up
my slack" nor do I feel that I am "forsaking
my natural instincts." We both have
natural instincts; we brought our baby
into the world together, and we're
equally capable of caring for her.
But because Bob is a loving father to a
baby girl and makes less t h a n I do, is he
a "quiche-eating male"? Hardly. Masculinity
has nothing to do with one's ability
to bring in the bucks or lord it over
one's wife (or femininity, with one's
"natural instincts").
Incidentally, Bob is also a 6-foot, 180-
lb. athlete, and I fear that his reaction
would not be too loving if Eskew dared to
walk up to him and suggest that Bob's
masculinity was a little below par.

Engineering student questions
Barlow's knowledge of subject
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to the Katheryn Barlow
article about engineers, I thought a
journalist's job was to report the facts;
part of this is knowing them. It is apparent
t h a t either she never took the time to
actually learn about an engineer or that
anything above her kindergarten definition
of engineers was over her head.
As an. engineering student I can see
how an individual would have trouble
explaining what an engineer does. First
of all, engineering here at Auburn is
made up of nine departments. Getting a
generalization for all is like asking a
Liberal Arts student what a Liberal Arts
student does for a living (although one
idea comes to mind).
If she wants a basic definition (like
hers of a doctor) th'.n here is one: Engineers
work with materials, machinery
and energy and put them to practical use
for the benefit of people. This is achieved
by engineers doing what they were educated
to do by working in industry, con-s
u l t i n g firms, government and
universities.
I find it an insult that she spoke as
though she knew as a fact that "engineering
students drank beer and studied
in their spare time." Not only did she
condemn a large number of hard working
students, but she did so without trying
to understand what they go through.
This would be similar to my slandering
the entire journalism department based
on the wisdom of Katheryn Barlow.
I am disappointed that a newspaper
such as The Plainsman would actually
print an article of someone knocking a
subject she clearly knows nothing
about.

Engineers sincere, dedicated
Editor, The Plainsman:
In reply to the article "Conversation
Needed" by Katheryn Barlow on Nov. 3,
we would like to comment on
"engineers."
As secretaries in the Electrical Engineering
Department, it is our pleasure to
work with sincere, hard-working, dedicated
and often humorous professionals.
According to Webster, engineers are
able to work in any number of occupations
aiding humanity - science, medicine,
etc.
If these people are willing to spend so
much time learning, teaching, working,
helping - who are you to question their
sanity?
Your judgment seems harsh considering
the fact that nine times out of 10—
when you need something worked out or
fixed—you call some type of engineer!!!
In your article you seem to need a job
description for engineers - what is
yours?
Sincerely,

Anthem not place for 'War Eagle' yell
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last week, I, like many other Auburn
students, attended our last home football
game. Homecoming itself is an
excellent reminder t h a t Auburn is a unique
University rich in customs and
traditions.
However, customs, in and of themselves,
are not always praiseworthy.
There is one custom in which some
Auburn students take part t h a t I believe
should be seriously examined for its
appropriateness.
I refer to the interruption of the close of
the National Anthem with a "War
Eagle" cheer. No Auburn fan could be
against school spirit and pride in our
University. However, respect for our
country should come before team spirit.
Recent events in the world show
clearly that the price for our nation's
freedom is high. We should be ever
mindful of struggles and sacrifices
which have kept the United States free.
Keeping these weighty thoughts in
mind, it is easy to see t h a t the National
Anthem is not just a "patriotic sing-along."
It is, I believe, a kind of hymn
dedicated to t he principles of liberty and
the men who have laid down their lives
to preserve those ideals.
When you stop to think about the profound
significance of The Star Spangled
Banner to Americans, anything except a
solemn attitude while it is being played
is irreverent. What is most disturbing, I
suppose, is that the two phrases which
have been repeatedly interrupted; "the
land of the free and the home of the
brave," are the song's most meaningful
lines.
Again, I want to stress that I hardly
oppose the "War Eagle Spirit." But, I do
not believe t h a t disrespect to our country
and its Anthem is a part of t h a t spirit.
We all owe our country, at the very
least, loyalty enough to save our cheers
until after the National Anthem is over.

Freeze supporters need first-hand experience
Editor, The Plainsman,
In recent weeks, several letters written
by a few naive supporters of the nuclear
freeze movement have appeared in various
area newspapers.
Distributing their leftist propaganda
under the banner of "Save Humanity,"
their objective is to lure the public into
thinking t h a t a nuclear freeze pact with
the Soviets is for the good of America. Do
they think that the majority of American
citizens are as susceptible to subversion
as they are?
After the Soviets brutally murdered
269 innocent people aboard KAL Flight
007, the freeze movement had the audacity
to use that outrageous crime as a
means of drawing attention to their
cause.
How on earth can we trust a government
who engages in mass genocide in
Afghanistan and Southeast Asia with a
Nuclear Freeze Pact? While President
Reagan makes offer after offer proposing
an equitable solution to the arms
question, Andropov issues a blanket
'nyet' through the state controlled news
media.
The freeze movement would willingly
let the Soviets keep their 354 SS-20
medium range nuclear missiles while we
have none. (The British and French
have 167 missile systems but those systems
are NOT under our control or
direction).
If members of the freeze movement
only had a relative behind the iron curtain
or had one gunned down in cold
blood in Afghanistan, they would realize
t h a t no matter what the Soviets say
or sign, their actions speak the real
truth.
I am presently serving in the U.S.
Navy and I have seen first hand the victims
of Soviet treachery and military
might on a tour of the Middle East. Ask
anyone who has suffered under the
tyranny of Soviet rule if they would
freeze nuclear weapons.
Peace through strength is the only
answer to our foes, local and abroad. I'm
not talking about the capability to blow
the world up ten times over with each
side's respective arsenals. I am talking
about meeting the Soviets toe to toe on
their every bid for global domination.
Freezing our production of nuclear weapons
would equate to long-range
surrender.
I urge all citizens to unite in the name
of common sense and reality and oppose
the freeze movement's cause ever so diligently.
Never let them gain a foothold in
our community. The only other alternative
is to let them raise the Hammer and
S i c k l e in front of the county
courthouse.

Florida shirts 'rumors'
Editor, The Plainsman:
In reference to rumors concerning the
University of Florida fans prior to the
Auburn football game, I am compelled to
address your student body.
It appears that the Auburn media
reported that Gator fans wore T-shirts
which supposedly sported an "X" over a
number, 36, and a message, "At least we
don't kill our players," referring to Greg
Pratt.
I wish to assure the Auburn fans that
these reports were entirely erroneous.
The University of Florida students as
well as myself are appalled that this
type of publicity would be fabricated.
Regardless of where it originated, the
thought that a football player's death
would be exploited is disconcerting.
I would hope that an Auburn investigation
would ensue to not only discover
who was responsible but also to prevent
this from occurring in the future.
I enjoy the growing UF-Auburn
rivalry within the SEC. However, rumors
of this nature have the potential of
destroying the idea behind collegiate
football.

Newprogram
for student
information
By Suzy Fleming
News Staff
A program to promote better
relations between the students
and the SGA is being sponsored
by the off-campus committee of
the Student Senate.
"We wanted to find a way to
keep students informed," said
Chairman John Stein. Every
Wednesday from 8:00-9:00 p.m.,
two off-campus senators will be
available in the SGA office to
answer any questions that students
may have about the SGA
and its activities.
Anyone with ideas for or questions
about the SGA is welcome
to call at 826-4240.
The WordCrafter can also
recommend tutors for most subjects
taught at Auburn University.
The WordCrafter staff consists
of Carol Whatley, Ed.d., English
Education, Auburn University;
Sandra Rose, B.A., English,
Auburn University; and Caroline
Mann; B.A., Psychology, Georgia
State University. These individuals
have extensive backgrounds
in English, teaching, editing and
writing.
A unique service offered by The
WordCrafter is "focusing." Focusing,
developed by Whatley, is a |
writing technique which enables
the composer to discover what he
wants to express, thus making
writing an enjoyable experience.
"If a student comes to us and
says 'I don't like writing,' we can
help him or her figure out what
the problem is and go about correcting
it," said Whatley.
The WordCrafter also gives
one-on-one help to students interested
in improving their writing
skills, said Whatley.
"We are meeting a need that we
know exists," said Rose.

The Plainsman's first woman
editor, Beverly Bradford.
Bradford wrote in her first
column as editor, "The Plainsman
is dumping the Loveliest.
We're glad to see her go."
She continued that she was
putting a stop to the series
because it took too much time to
put together and that it "helped
to preserve the Southern Belle
stereotype."
Bradford's decision brought
only one letter of negative
response, in which the student
said the decision was made
"without consulting the student
body for whom the paper is
published."
On the other hand the dropping
c o n t i n u e d from A-l
of the "Loveliests" was welcomed
by a photographer who photographed
many of the coeds. Curtis
A. Maudlin said that "...sororities
were always seeking to have
one of their girls picked and were
not always pleased; my time was
involved with the 'girl of the
week' as much or more than other
more important assignments."
It came as a surprise when the
last "Loveliest of the Plains" was
none other than the "anti-loveliests,"
Bradford. In the 1971
April Fool's issue of The Plainsman,

Tiger pass defender practices at pirouettes, pas de deux
By Kelly Glover
^Matures Staff
MF He models, performs ballet,
H F ioves to read romantic mysteries
and has the potential to be one of
the great defensive backs in college
football.
Despite his feelings of uncertainty
when signing to play for
the Auburn Tigers two years ago,
David King, a 5*-9", 180-lb. junior,
says he is glad to be a part of
Auburn football because it has
given him a lot of opportunities to
build a football career.
As one of Auburn's star players,
King only needs eight interceptions
in the next two years to
become Auburn's all-time pass
interception leader. The record
now stands at 18 interceptions
and is held by Buddy McClinton,
a player on the 1967, 1968 and
1969 Auburn football teams.
A graduate of Fairhope High
School, King says that he had
never even heard of Auburn until
his senior year because the team
had been on probation for so
long. "To be honest, I was an
Alabama fan," says King. He
had planned to sign with Alabama
until they decided that he
was too small to play the position
they had in mind. He adds that he
was recruited by all the major
SEC schools and a few other
small colleges...- •

American team in 1981 and
Sophomore Ail-American team
in 1982.
King says that coming to
Auburn when he did enabled him
to become part of the building
block that will lead Auburn to the
top ranks among college football
in the years to come. "During my
freshman and sophomore years,
playing football was more of an
individual thing," he says. "We
knew what we wanted but we
didn't know how to go about getting
it." Now, thanks to the help
of Coach Pat Dye, King says the
players aren't so much individuals
as they are a team-a top notch
team.
"Coach Dye has us believing in
ourselves and in each other, and
we are going to take that all the
way to the national championship,"
King voices optimistically.
Although working as a team is
important, King says he also sets
goals for himself before each
game. "Cornerback is a unique
position on the field," says King,
"You have to know what you're
doing because there is always so
much coming at you." He describes
his position as a combination
of linebacker and quarterback.
King says that while he's
playing he tries to keep count of
the plays he does well.
"Usually, I reach most of my
goals," he says, "although I
haven't reached four interceptions
(in one game)...yet."
It was obvious from the start of
his career that King was going to
be an asset to the Auburn Tiger
team. As a freshman, he moved to
the varsity team his first day on
the practice field, and before the
end of the week, he had earned a
starting spot. Nonetheless, King
says that during his first two
years on the team, he felt a lot of
pressure because he had to play
and compete with four older and
more experienced teammates.
"Being a freshman, they
expected me to play up to their
standards," he says.
"This year, there is still pressure
because 1 am the only returning
starter, but now I am relaxed
and don't get uptight like I used
to as a freshman and sophomore.
I just go into every game and look
at it as a practice."

Get Responsibility Fast.
football player, King, a member
of Auburn's dance theatre for the
past three years, says, "I wanted
to get into ballet because I have
always loved to dance." As for
football, he says that ballet helps
his flexibility and enables his
injuries to heal faster.
"Take for instance the Florida
State game," says King, "I
received a shoulder injury and it
was questionable whether I
would play in the next game
against Kentucky, but since I am
in dance and had been stretching,
I was able to play in the
game."
When asked how his teammates
felt about his interest in
ballet. King says at first they
thought it was awkward
because they had rarely heard of
a football player dancing. "They
kidded me about it, but then they
got used to it and now most of
them have started enrolling in
dance classes."
Auburn split end Clayton
Beauford says of his teammate,
"Most of the football players
Opposing receivers have rarely beaten King, a sophomore All-American
respected David because they
knew that ballet helped him in
football." Beauford, who has
taken some ballet, says ballet
also helps to build his flexibility.
He adds that ballet has taught
him to be more alert and aware,
an asset that he needs on the
football field.
With football consuming so
much of his time, King says he
doesn't have much time to model,
which he likes to do because of
the fancy clothes. In the past,
King has modeled for Auburn's
modeling board and also for
Gayfer's Department Store.
Of all the people in the world,
King names Martin Luther King
Jr., Lester Hayes and Jack
Tatum as those he admires the
most.
In explaining his admiration
for King, a slain civil rights
leader, King says, "He strived so
hard to make things right and
opened doors for black people. He
never gave up, he had character
and was a great man."
As for pro football players Lester
Hayes and Jack Tatum, he
explains that each man was an
aggressive player on the field. He
adds that he hopes to someday
develop this aggressive characteristic.
Though he is a business major,
King says he would one day like
to attend law school, but only
after playing on a pro football
team. "If I play pro ball, I could
get myself established and make
some money so I could pay my
own way through law school." He
is interested in the Dallas Cowboys,
the Pittsburgh Steelers and
the New Orleans Saints.
After describing the Tigers as
hard-nosed, King says of
Auburn's future, "I predict that
we have a good chance of going to
the Sugar Bowl this year, and in
the next few years, you will see
Auburn going to bowl games and
staying in the top rankings."
In recognition of his coach,
King adds, "As long as Coach
Dye is here, we will be great!"
SACS
Concerning the Ralph Brown
Draughon Library, the committee
recommended that the highest
priority be given to developing
an addition to the library.
The University has allocated
$130,000 to prepare plans for a
new edition to the library
building.
For student development,
SACS suggested that the student
affairs administration be reevaluated,
"implementing an
organizational structure that is
more manageable and workable."
In the review, Interim President
Wilford S. Bailey said
"implementation of the recommendations
has begun and will
remain a priority throughout the
coming year." The University
will work hard in this area to
improve many areas of student
development, he said.
For physical resources, the
committee recommended a program
of deferred maintenance to
correct problems of neglect. Offi-

cials said the University has
allocated approximately $3 million
in the last two fiscal years to
be used for deferred maintenance
and will continue to
budget funds annually for this
purpose.
In the area of special activities,
the SACS recommended that one
universal focal point should be
established for all special activities,
but as in many other cases,
the University must await the
naming of the new president.
The SACS committee suggested
several alternatives in the last
section for Auburn's graduate
program. In the review, the University
states that graduate programs
are being evaluated by
professionals acquainted with
acceptable graduate programs
continued from A-l
elsewhere. Proper adjustments
are being made in areas of need.
In the review, officials said,
"This entire self-study and reaffirmation
process can be characterized
as a wholesome renewing
exercise. It will provide much
assistance as we plan for
Auburn's future.
SACS has helped this institution
to look at itself objectively—
to assess how effectively we are
responding to demands upon our
complex University as it
approaches the 21st century. We
shall see the positive results of
this activity for many years to
come.

Libertarian wants fewer laws
By Susan Hurst
Assistant News Editor
Steadily increasing government
control over Americans'
private lives poses a serious
threat to liberty in the United
States today, according to David
Bergland, the 1984 presidential
candidate for the Libertarian
Party.
Speaking to students and
faculty in an open forum in
Thach Hall Thursday, Bergland
said government should be
reduced to its proper function of
protecting the rights of American
citizens rather than involving
itself in the political problems of
other countries.
"If we confined the federal
government to providing a defensive
security service for us to
protect the United States and the
people in the United States and
their property in the United
States from the risk of foreign
attack, then we will have reduced
government to its legitimate
function," said Bergland, who
was in Alabama trying to get the
Libertarian party on the ballot
for the 1984 presidential election.
Bergland's campaign is based
on the Libertarian philosophy
that the government's primary
responsibility is to protect the
rights of the people.
"Government should assist us
in defending ourselves against
such things as murder and rape
and robbery and theft and arson
and kidnapping because those
things involve someone violating
someone else's rights. So laws
that prohibit such activities are
valid," Bergland said.
However, the party believes
that laws which restrict citizens
from activities which do not violate
the rights of others are
invalid, Bergland said, adding
for example, that citizens who
choose to smoke marijuana are
not violating anyone else's rights
and, therefore, should not be
punished.
Also questionable, he said, are
laws requiring federal income
taxes, the draft, compulsory education,
minimum wage laws and
international trade restrictions
imposed by the U.S. government
against other nations. The Libertarians
propose the elimination
of all of these on the grounds that
the government's authority is
limited to the protection of the
citizens' rights.
The party also proposes reducing
the size of the federal
government to a level that could
be fully funded without federal
income tax.
The Libertarian party proposals
for reducing the size of
government include:
—eliminating the Interior
Department and selling national
parks to non-government groups
—eliminating urban renewal
programs, all subsidies to business
and agriculture, welfare
programs and licensing laws
—eliminating the Energy
Department and all subsidies to
energy producers
Bergland, a 48-year-old lawyer
from Costa Mesa, Calif., was the
party's vice presidential candidate
in the 1976 election. His
r u n n i n g mate was Roger
MacBride.
Bergland served as t he
National Chairperson of the
Libertarian party from 1977 to
1981.
The Libertarian party is the
nation's third largest political
party.

Presidential candidate speaks on campus
AUPD more than just campus security
By Suzy Fleming
News Staff
"We are more than just campus
security," explained Auburn
University Police Chief Jack L.
Walton Jr. "We are a police
department. With 20,000 people
on six acres, there is a lot to cover
and we have to cover everything."
Walton said the most common
crimes are petty theft among non-students
and criminal mischief
and false reporting to law agencies
among students.
"We lock up non-students,"
Walton said, but we make an
effort to keep students from
obtaining a police record." If a
victim is involved, however, it is
his decision as to the diciplinary
actions taken.
"We have not had a reported or
attempted assault since the
Eagle Escort Service began,"
pointed out Walton. "I hope people
will continue to take advantage
of this."
The Eagle Escort Service was
formed through the combined,
efforts of the SGA and campus
security. Their service provides
escort3 for women who walk
home late at night.
The Auburn University Police
Department is broken into four
divisions, Patrol or Police Division,
Security Division, Investigative
Division and Parking
and Traffic Division.
They give a lot of VIP Security
to people such as Phil Donahue
and Lionel Richie. They also
have covered cases like capturing
stray mountain lions, recovering
stolen concert tickets and stopping
book stealing rings.
A big part of the department
is parking and traffic violations.
Money collected from these
fines go toward parking, traffic
and street maintenance. This
summer $1,600 was spent on
paving streets and parking lots.

Black high school students visit campus
ly Tina Perry
Jews Staff
About 120 black high school
tudents visited Auburn Univer-ity
during homecoming week-id
as part of an admissions
ffice program to recruit more
lack students.
The program was designed to
cquaint students with campus
ife through presentations of
cademic and student programs
nd a variety of entertainment.
The idea for the program originated
with Dru Welch, an admissions
counselor, and received
support from the University's
enrollment committee.
"I had thought about having
this weekend when I took the job
in January," Welch said, because
"Auburn is not known in the
black community" as a place for
black college-bound students to
attend.
Welch's statement echoed the
sentiments of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools
(SACS) which recently reported

the University had abnormally
low numbers of black students
and faculty members.
The association's report probably
prompted the enrollment
committee's support of the
recruitment program in a "roundabout
way," she said.
The probable connection
between the establishment of the
new recruitment program and
the SACS's well-publicized report
was commented on by one of the
program's participants, she said.
"It's like we're being exploited
in an effort to play down a highly
publicized situation," she said.
However, Welch said that the
program was beneficial and she
thinks the program's first participants
are "making history."
Originally, about 240 students
from Alabama, Georgia and
Tennessee responded to invitations
to participate in the program,
she added. She and other
members of the admissions staff
contacted interested students
individually, and 217 were definitely
scheduled to take part.
This number, however, was
reduced significantly when a bus
transferring many of the students
to campus broke down in
route.
Many students could not
attend because of the traveling
'involved. "It was their responsibility
to get here," Welch said.
The majority of participants
were females since it was stipulated
students had to attend both
days of the program, Welch said.
Many males had to decline
because of involvement in extra-
" E v e r y t h i n g went pretty
smoothly," Welch said, and
added she hopes to try it again
next year since this program was
"a success."

such as football and band.
In addition to meeting with
deans' representatives in the
schools of their interest, the students
attended luncheons and
toured the campus.
Representatives from the five
black sororities and fraternities
on campus spoke to the group.
The students also attended a

"Most of these kids seem to be
having a good time," said Wanda
Thomas, a senior from Tuskegee
Institute High School who participated
in the program. "I really
didn't know that much about
Auburn," she said, but added she
now plans to apply for admission.
A common opinion expressed
by some students regarded the
size of the school. "The campus is
kind of big," said Everett Brooks,
who attends Johnson High
School in Huntsville. Thomas
l a u g h i n g l y remarked she
thought it would "take a year to
get from one side to the other"
when she crossed the campus for
the first time.
The University's reputation
regarding black enrollment left
some participants undaunted
about attending school here.
"That didn't play that big of a
part in the decision to apply to
Auburn University," said T.io-mas.
Some students believe the
school is prejudiced, she said, but
"I don't feel like that."
Another student said the racial
situation "really doesn't matter"
to her because "it's more what
you want to learn. . . People are
people."
Brooks, who plans to study
aerospace engineering, said
Auburn's low black enrollment
was not a problem for him.
"In a way I like this school
because of that. At an all-black
school I don't know if I would
study as much as I would here
simply because of the environment."
Students who took part in the
program were chosen by the high
schools' guidance counselor,
Welch said. The counselors chose
students who showed the most
interest in attending Auburn and
who would derive the most
benefit from the program.
Vet school machine senses body heat
• • • » • • • • • BE
By Bob Murdaugh
News Staff
Researchers of the School of
Veterinary Medicine, under the
direction of Professor Ram Pur-ohit,
are using a machine on loan
from the U.S. government for the
study of body temperatures to
diagnose animal diseases and
injuries.
The thermography machine
being used in the School of Veterinary
Medicine collects infrared
radiation given off by the body,
and relays body temperature to a
small screen from which
researchers can view parts of the
body being studied.
"One of the advantages of the
thermography machine that we
are using is that, unlike X-ray
machines used for the same purpose,
this type of machine takes
in rays for our studies instead of
giving off rays which can cause
bodily harm," said Purohit.
To aid in the use of this thermography
machine at the School
of Veterinary Medicine, the U.S.
government and agencies which
support such research have given
nearly $300,000 to Auburn University
since the machine's arrival
in 1976.
"In return for the funds we are
receiving to use for research, we
are sending reports out to sbare
our findings," Purohit commented.
"The U.S. government
will allow us to use the machine
as long as we use it to conduct
studies."
The thermography machine
was used by the military for night
detection of enemy tanks and
trucks until the 1960s, when its
use in medicine began.
After the 1960s, the machine
first used color photography to
record observations.
Today, this machine is also
used for industrial purposes to
detect heat emission. Television
viewers can see an example of its
medical use on Gatorade commercials,
where infrared photographs
are shown to demonstrate
the rapid heating of the human
body during exercise.

Drinking to forget
Alcohol problems haunt many college students
By Lorri Glover
Features Staff
In a section of town that the
average citizen would associate
with muggers and robbers, an old
man wearing a tattered black
jacket and a pair of small green
pants, lies in a stagnated gutter.
In his hand he holds the only
thing in the world that matters to
him, a brown paper bag containing
a bottle of cheap Thunderbird
wine.
That's a stereotype of an alcoholic,
but anyone can have trouble
with alcoholism. It hits the
most prominent, influential citizens,
the blue collar workers and
also students.
Just recently, the rate of student
alcoholics has increased.
Statistics show that there are
about three million problem
drinkers in the U.S. under the age
of 20. According to Program
Director Len Ford, at the Crescent
Rehabilitation Center in
Opelika, students drink to combat
all the pressures they're faced
with. "I think when a person
graduates from high school and
goes off to college, great things
expected from that student. Most
students just feel like that's
(drinking) the thing they should
do to fit into the picture," Ford
explains.
Ford says there are social
drinkers and there are non-social
drinkers. "The problem begins
when you cross over the line from
social drinker into alcoholism. A
social drinker has three choices.
He can choose not to drink, he
can choose to drink two and then
stop or he can choose to get
smashed," he says.
On the other hand, there is the
person who has crossed over the
line. "A person who has crossed
over, has only one choice. Once
he takes that first drink, he is not
going to stop until he reaches
what he's looking for," Ford says.
Tests and experiments have been
done, but no one knows why or
how a person crosses the line and
others don't.
"Some people are alcoholics
from the time they take the first
drink," he says. They drink till
they reach that desired feeling
and then afterwards, they constantly
seek that feeling. One
drink leads to two, two leads to
four, and four leads to who knows
how many. This is the danger of
crossing the line.
There are many ways to get
drunk. "As far as beer versus
alcohol, one can of beer has about
the same amount of alcohol as a
shot of vodka, bourbon or anything
else. People who have a
drinking problem minimize by
saying, I only drink beer,' when
really, it doesn't matter because
one is just as bad as the other,"
Ford says.
In our modern world, with all
the pressures and problems people
face, they think alcohol will
help them handle the pain. Sure,
one might be able to forget for a
while, but the next morning when
you wake up with a dry mouth,
blood shot eyes and a pounding
head, all the problems are still
there. No one seems to think
about how harmful alcoholism is.
"Medically speaking, statistics
show that a person with a drinking
problem, has a life span 10
years shorter than a person who
doesn't drink," Ford says. In
addition to this statistic, an alcoholic
can also experience liver
and pancreas problems and also
brain damage over a period of
years. "Eventually, if a person
has a serious drinking problem,
it'll kill them physically or certainly
emotionally," Ford
stresses.
Of course, a person can't decide
whether he will or whether he
won't be an alcoholic, that's one
of the great mysteries. "Alcoholism
just happens. There is no
cure for alcoholism, it can only be
arrested. Once a person crosses
over that line, they will be a recovering
alcoholic till the day
they die. It is a primary disease,
not secondary to any other," Ford
emphasizes.
However, there are symptoms
that friends and relatives can
look for to perhaps head off
serious problems. "One sign is
blackouts, which are called
amnesia blackouts. This doesn't
mean that they fall out drunk, it
means they don't remember
Selling notes big business
(CPS)—A former University of
Miami student's attempt to
return to campus with a business
peddling class notes was scuttled
recently by Miami administrators
angered by his advertising.
Former biology major Martin
Schroth set up a booth at registration
without approval, and
contended the university had
endorsed his business.
"He said the service was
approved by the dean of Arts and
Sciences and that he had the
endorsement of a number of
instructors when he really
didn't," says Richar Pfau, associate
dean of Arts and Sciences.
Schroth had been soliciting
students at the booth to take
notes. He offered to pay them
$100 a semester to take notes.
Schroth would then type the
notes, selling them to other students
for $1.25 per class per week.
The univeristy told Schroth to
get off campus when it discovered
his booth in front of the bookstore
during registration. Schroth now
says he may pursue his plans for
the business off -campus.
Similar professional note-taking
businesses are thriving on
and off other campuses.
San Diego State University
runs its own service through the
campus Copy Center and Student
Services department.
"We hire only graduate students,
usually from within the
department for which notes are
being taken, and we require
authorization from the instructor
of the specific class," says Susan
Schenkel, supervisor of the Student
Services center.
The graduate note takers get
from $9 to $13.50 a classroom
hour, Schenkel says, and students
pay from $12 to $15 per
class for a semester's worth of
notes.
Over 2500 students sign up for
the service each term, she adds.
Berkeley also owns its own
note-taking service, which
started as an off-campus operation,
but was moved onto campus
by the university several years
ago.
UCLA's elaborate note-taking
service spans over 125 courses.
As many as 50 percent of the students
in those classes will buy
notes, a UCLA spokesman says.
He contends it's the largest service
of its kind in the U.S.
Within the last 15 years, there's
really been a big change in the
way professors perceive the use of
professional study services,"
says Gary Carey, editor of Cliff
Notes, which publishes study
guides for everything from calculus
to Shakespearean plays.
"Today, most instructors don't
think twice about seeing students
with a bundle of our study guides
under their arms," he says.
Not everyone in the note-taking
industry is as upbeat. One
student entrepreneur at Michigan
State University recently
closed his class notes operation
"because I couldn't convince
myself it was ethically correct."
"I ran the service for a term,
and it was real successful, but
students in the large lecture class
could use the notes to avoid
a t t e n d i n g class, and that
bothered me," recalls Bob Doro-shewitz,
a psychology major.
It bothers Miami officials, too.
Pfau has no objection to notes
being sold as strictly a supplemental
service in classes where
attendance is required. But in
large lecture classes without regular
attendance reports, students
could buy notes instead of attending
class.
Even at San Diego State, where
the university owns the service,
the History and Zoology departments
bar professional note takers
and even tape recorders from
their classes.
things they said or things they
did when they were drunk. If they
can't remember things they
become very defensive. They
might deny it if you approach
them with questions. They might
tell you they only drink on the
weekends and that they can control
it," Ford explains.
Besides blackouts, alcoholics
begin to do poorly in their school
work. All they care about is hearing
the bell ring, signaling the
end of class, so they can reach for
that cold beer or that shot of
liquor.
Also, a sick person loses his or
her system of organization and
responsibilities. An alcoholic will
forget to do homework, forget to
study for tests or even forget to go
to class. A person who has a job
will tend to neglect his business
duties.
"It usually takes professional
people to help a person with a
drinking problem. The best thing
to do, if you're a very close and
concerned friend, and you suspect
trouble, is carefully talk to
them. Ask them if they think
they're drinking too much or if
there are any problems they'd
like to discuss. If this doesn't
work, then suggest they go see a
doctor for some medical reason.
Lastly, if all else fails, go talk
with their parents," Ford
explains.
In addition to alcoholic problems,
we also live in a society that
is unaware and perhaps unconcerned
with alcoholism. Ford
says, "Alcoholism is a primary,
chronic and fatal disease, and the
more the public knows about it,
then the less fear there's going to
be at the mention of the word
a l c o h o l i s m , " he com-ments.
"For example, if you had an
alcohol problem, probably one of
the first things you'd worry about
would be what your friends and
family would say or think. If it
were treated like a disease,and
you knew your friends would
accept it, then maybe you
wouldn't worry, and you'd seek
help. Alcoholism should be
treated like what it is—a disease.
I think this will do more to get
people well than anything else,"
he says.
Moreover, people don't realize
it, but alcoholism" affects others
besides the alcoholic. According
to Ford, families have to change
their lifestyle because of a family
member that has a drinking
problem.
"They might do it to protect
that person or to protect themselves
from other people knowing.
Their lifestyle is made to
revolve around the alcoholic. So
in effect, they also become sick,
not from the actual intake of
alcohol, but because they have to
adjust to the lifestyle of the problem
person," he explains.
At the Crescent Treatment
Center, help is available at all
times. "It's very unusual," Ford
says, "that a person will recognize
he has a problem and have
that sudden insight to say, I
NEED HELP. Usually, we see
them in the hospital or their par-

AMINO SLIM
A discovery concerning amino acids may
represent the biggest breakthrough in the
science of weight loss for 20 years.
Researchers have discovered that a specific fat
burning hormone, dormant in many overweight
people, may be activated by an amino acid
combination. They report that arginine, ornithine,
and lysine taken together can trigger the
release of human growth hormone (HGH), a
pituitary hormone that causes fat cells to be
burned and muscles to be built. HGH is a polypeptide
hormone stored in the pituitary gland.
As we grow older the release of HGH slows; it
does however remain stored in the pituitary.
Studies conducted at the University of Rome
indicated that a specific combination of 1200
mg L-Arginine, 900 mg L-Ornithine, and 1200
mg L-lsine taken daily at bedtime on an empty
stomach could stimulate the release of HGH.

Zoning ordinance proposed for Auburn
By Iris Dabrowski
Assistant News Editor
The public hearing to evaluate
the proposed zoning ordinance
by Auburn City Council's Planning
Commission on Nov. 3 drew
mixed emotions.
The rezoning ordinance
recommends neighborhood preservation,
centralization of university
students to one district,
development of commercial and
industrial areas and redevelopment
of deteriorated areas.
The residential areas are
divided into low and moderate
residential areas (LDR and
MDR) and a University Service
Area (USA).
LDR would have no more than
four housing units per acre and
MDR would have no more than
15 units.
Of main concern to students is
the centralized USA because it
would be limited to a specific
boundary of the University, the
area would become a more mixed
as well as dense development.
According to Warren McCord,
chairman of the Auburn 2000
Land Use Committee, the USA
would encourage the "widest mix
of non-residential land uses that
serve student needs."
The planning commission is
concerned about preserving and
restoring downtown Auburn and
at the same time maintaining
"the Auburn Character." Focus
was placed on students having to
purchase commodities outside of
Auburn.
The proposed ordinance
requires specified developments in
building each category of land
use.
The ordinance proposed nine
zoning districts: the neighborhood
conservation districts (NC),
redevelopment districts (RDD),
the University service district
(USD), development district
Airport expansion taking off
Auburn's aviation students
will be exposed to a new airport
lighted approach system if the
FAA accepts proposal to buy 68.2
acres of land and install the system,
said Airport Advisory Board
chairman Dr. Lynn Weaver.
Under the proposal, the FAA
would pay 90 percent of the cost
of the land and install and maintain
the lighting system, said
Weaver. "For a relatively small
investment, we get a sizeable
return," he said.
The other 10 percent of the cost
of the land would come from the
University, the cities of Auburn
and Opelika and Lee County, he
said.
James Hendrick, airport manager,
said that in addition to the
lighting system, the land will
provide the area needed for safe
takeoff and landing (clear zones),
protect aircraft from encroachment
by objects and allow for
future expansion of the airport.
The airport has a three stage
master plan outlining future
expansion.
Stage I is the acquisition of the
68.2 acres of land and the subsequent
installation of perimeter
fencing around it.
Stage II consists of buying 12.3
more acres to relocate a high-pressure
gas line and East Glenn
Avenue to allow for expansion of
the north/south runway.
Stage III includes the extension
of the runway and its proper
marking.
(DD), estate districts, rural districts,
a holding district, the
urban core district (UCD) and the
commercial conservation districts
(CC).
According to Doug Leonard, a
consultant to the Planning
Commission,"The USD was not
designed to foster student
slums." He believes the zone will
be a lucrative area for developers
provided they follow the performance
standards. He cited housing
examples along Gay Street as
"shotgun developments" and
said the zoning would prevent
that type of student housing from
being constructed in the future.
The aim for the zone is to provide
students affordable rent, entertainment
and retail areas to meet
student needs.
Frank Chalfont, SGA liason to
the City Council, does not feel
optimistic about improvement of
existing conditions of student
housing.
"The improvements will probably
take place downtown with
the aid of government subsidies,
but I doubt if there will be
improvement in areas such as
those on Gay Street," he said.
Chalfont said owners of that
type of housing feel that because
students are transient, it is not
financially worthwhile for them
to invest in improving the facilities.
Because there is such a shortage
of housing available for students,
the students are forced to
acquire whatever type of housing
they can, he said.
Local realtor Lewis Pick has
reservations about the ordinance.
He feels that downtown
Auburn's development is being
stifled by it. He pointed out that
while the ordinance is prohibitive
of downtown development, it
encourages the development of
the University service district.
"You're talking about subsidizing
land which costs $75,000 an
acre saying the students will be
able to afford it. They'll have to,"
he said.
According to Chalfont there
has been a negative reaction
from residents to the ordinance
because of two reasons: first, the
residents feel that the zones are
changed arbitrarily, second, they
want to keep their original residential
areas intact. One particular
problem area lies with the residents
of Payne Street.
They want to maintain the
integrity of their neighborhood
and cited instances of disruptive
student behavior. There are problems
with noise and drivers going
against the one-way direction of
the street.
Attorney Andrew Gentry was
concerned about the methods
used to draft the ordinance
because changes in it were not
discussed and that the work
should be demonstrated as
separate from the Auburn 2000
committee.
Gentry is also concerned about
the complexity of the ordinance
and feels that some things are
"just wrong" about the ordinance.
Mayor Jan Dempsey stressed
that the ordinance is not complete
and needs improvement.
"The current zoning board is
outdated and beyond repair, but
now we're trying to look at an
approach that serves people in
the future in the best possible
manner. We realize the first proposed
draft needs work, and there
are still many changes to be
made. We want to encourage as
much public participation as
possible,"she said.
According to Leonard, "the
main objective of the ordinance is
to save and preserve that which
is good and make ways for
improvements in those areas in
which things are not as good as
they should be."

Tigers will
break all that
Bulldog heart
Like a penalty flag during a
kick return on Monday Night
Football, the term "Game of the
Century" is thrown about
looselv.
Overzealous observers are
applying the axiom to the game
in Athens, Ga. two days hence,
but it must be noted that these
type fanatics used the same
term when Auburn and Georgia
met in 1971.
However, title hungry Bulldogs
and Tigers are not too off-target
should they prefer to
qualify their claim.
One would have to dig deep in
SEC annals to find when two
teams with such lofty rankings
met as late in the season.
Moreover, with a conference
championship, Sugar Bowl bid,
and, possibly, a national title
riding for both teams, the game
is indeed a big one.
Who will win?
No one, after the defection of
Herschel Walker would have
believed that Georgia would be
in such a position when its tenth
game of the season rolled
around.
Add to the suddenly depleted
running attack a passing game
that was anemic in 1982, and
the Bulldogs were given up for
dead coming into the season.
But thanks to a salty defense
that leads the SEC in rushing
defense and an offense that
exerts itself at the most opportune
times, Georgia has found
itself in a role it has played the
previous three seasons.
All have proclaimed the Bulldogs
as a team wrapped up in
intangibles. Now there's a word
to dwell on. Intangibles,
another oft-used term, is simply
a fancy way of saying a team
has a lot of heart.
The Bulldogs don't have a
quarterback who can throw,
they don't have a flashy running
back, but they have a lot of
heart, experts say.
A team loaded with intangibles
is also said to be a well-coached
team. If thatis the case,
then the Bulldogs are knee-deep.
Last week against Florida,
Georgia put on its most glaring
display of heart and Dooley's
coaching intellect came to the
forefront.
Playing against a vastly
more talented team, Georgia
allowed but nine points to a
team that scored three touchdowns
and accumulated over
400 yards the week before
against Auburn.
But those intangibles will
carry a team so far.
This week, Georgia will be
playing a more talented offensive
squad that is beginning to

Title at stake for Auburn, Georgia
By Jon Johnson
Assistant Sports Editor
When Auburn meets Georgia
between the hedges on Saturday
afternoon in Athens, it could very
well be a game that decides the
conference championship and
the league's representative in the
Sugar Bowl.
The Tigers (8-1) head into the
game ranked third in the nation.
The Bulldogs, (8-0-1) are right
behind at number four.
Auburn and Georgia are the
only remaining teams in the
league with unblemished conference
marks. The Tigers are 4-0 in
SEC play, while the Bulldogs are
5-0.
Alabama and Tennessee are
still in the hunt for a conference
championship with one loss
each.
If Auburn should win, they
would be assured of at least a tie
for the conference title, with Alabama
still ahead. If Georgia
wins, the Bulldogs capture then*
fourth straight SEC crown.
To say it is a big game is a huge
understatement. As AuburnHead
Coach Pat Dye puts it, "About
everything you play for is riding
on this game."
"I don't think it's unreasonable
to think this game could be for the
Sugar Bowl," Dye says." If they
make a decision next week, it has
got to be either Auburn or Georgia,
based on who wins or loses
the game. I haven't been told
that, but that's the wav I feel."
"There's no question that the
game can have a tremendous
impact on our team and program.
It's what our football players
have worked for and what our
fans have been looking forward
to."
But Georgia presents a big
obstacle to overcome. The Bulldogs
have won 23 straight SEC
games and 24 straight home
games.
"I think Georgia has certainly
been the dominant team in the
conference the last three years,"
Dye says.
"I would say Georgia's got
more football players, depth wise,
as any team in the conference.
Their program has been strong
for a long time. This just didn't
happen the last three years, it has
been there a long time. They've
got a solid foundation and their
win-loss record proves it.
"A lot of folks thought it would
be an off year for them with Herschel
(Walker) leaving, but it
hasn't. They might not have the
ability on offense that Herschel
gave them, but they won on
defense when Herschel was
there," Dye said.
Dye feels the Bulldog defense is
traditionally one of the finest in
the country.
"Defensively, we feel like they
are in the same league with
Texas. They are a big, strong
physical unit.
"They probably let you have a
little more yardage than Texas
would, but as you get closer to the
goal line, they get tighter and it's
harder and harder to get the ball
into the end zone."
Offensively, Dye says Bulldog
quarterback John Lastinger is a
lot like Auburn's Randy Campbell,
in that he is "a winner."
Lastinger, a 6-2, 190-pound
senior, has completed 53 of 105
passes this year for 661 yards,
while splitting time with sophomore
signal-caller Todd Williams.
"Lastinger has won so many
games for them. Williams might
be a little better passer, but I don't
know that there is much difference
in them.
"I think Lastinger will play the
majority of the time against us,
because he's been there so many
times."
Dye is very impressed with the
Bulldogs offensive line, calling it
the best the Tigers have seen all
year long.
"Their starters are outstanding.
Then they come in and play
about eight or nine men on the
line and we can't see any difference
in them. They all have outstanding
ability."
"Their kicking game is outstanding
as well with Chip
Andrews, their punter, and Kevin
Butler, their kicker. Butler is a
threat in himself,' Dye says.
"They really don't have any
weaknesses. That's the reason
they are'8-0-1."
Dye says he's still not sure how
good a football team his Tigers
are, but will find out Saturday.
"I don't think we've played a
full 60 minutes of football yet,
and I'm looking forward to doing
that.
"We play great at times and
inconsistent at other times. We
more or less just play good
enough to win."
