Varner rules for AU;
Mayfield plans appeal
By Lynne Hopkins
From Staff Reports
Auburn University won a sex
discrimination suit in U.S. Dis­trict
Court in Opelika Tuesday
against a former assistant pro­fessor
who claimed that she was
not granted tenure at the approp­riate
time.
Judge Robert Varner, a Mont­gomery
federal court judge, ruled
in favor of the University against
all allegations.
Lida Mayfield, former assist­ant
professor in the music
department, sued the University
for compensatory and punitive
damages and asked for rein­statement
to her job after she was
terminated following her twelfth
year of teaching at Auburn.
The University adheres to the
tenure policy as stated in the 1940
Statement of Principles on Aca­demic
Freedom and Tenure
which says that once a faculty
member has served seven years
in a probationary category, he or
she would be nominated for the
tenure process.
However, Mayfield was not
brought up for consideration for
tenure until her 11th year of
teaching at Auburn.
Sam Worthington, Mayfield's
attorney, said he attends to
appeal to the 11th District Circuit
Court of Appeals in Atlanta
within the next 30 days.
Mayfield said.'Tll make a full-time
career out of this case if
that's what it takes to win.
Because this case will make a dif­ference
for women faculty in
higher education."
Tom Samford, University
attorney, said that he was
pleased with the decision of the
court.
Jack Rogers, professor of
mathematics, was a member of
the Promotion and Tenure Com­mittee
when Mrs. Mayfield went
through the tenure process. He
said that tenure is granted on the
basis of an instructor's profes­sional
performance, teaching
abilities and compatibility with
other members of the depart­ment.
Faculty members in the
Auburn University department
of music have testified that May-field
was not granted tenure
because she lacked the compati­bility
necessary to maintain sta­bility
in the department.
When a teacher is brought up
for tenure a secret ballot vote is

Lida Mayfield and husband leave court
taken by other tenured faculty
members in the department to
express their feelings on whether
the teacher should receive tenure.
When a vote was taken on May-field,
the vote was 11-3 against
her being granted tenure.
Robert Greenleaf, associate
professor of music, said he
opposed Mrs. Mayfield's tenure
because of her lack of compati-bilty
with faculty members, he
didn't feel she was a strong musi­cian
and students did not seem to
approve of her teaching methods.
"Her personality was such that
she didn't seem open to commu­nication,"
Greenleaf said.
When asked if they felt the
decision to grant Mrs. Mayfield's
tenure was based on her sex, all
the faculty members said no.
Tom Smith, professor of music,
said he voted in favor of granting
Mrs. Mayfield tenure when the
original faculty vote was taken.
However, he was against her
appeal because he felt the tenure
process was correct by placing
importance on peer evaluation.
Harry Philpott was president
when Mayfield was hired by the
University. He said that an error
was made when Mayfield was
hired because she was classified
as a permanent instructor.
Philpott testified that while he
was serving as president the
University had a policy that if
husband and wife both taught
the wife could be terminated if
Auburn was experiencing finan­cial
difficulty.
The defense,however,main­tained
that this policy could
apply to either the husband or the
wife.
Interim President Wilford S.
Bailey served as the first chair­man
of the Promotion and
Tenure Commitee. He served as
chairman when Mayfield was
hired by the University.
Bailey testified that if Mayfield
was hired as an instructor on a
permanent basis it was"entirely
possible I didn't notice it with the
amount of papers coming
through.
.He said that in the 1969-70
handbook compatibility may not

The number of DUI arrests in
Lee County has dropped since a
new state law stiffening the
penalties for persons charged
with driving under the influence
of alcohol became effective July
29.
However, officials are reluc­tant
to attribute the decrease
totally to the new law at this
early date.
The number of persons
arrested by state troopers and
sheriffs deputies in the county
decreased from 46 in August,
1982, to 34 in the same month this
year. September arrests for 1983
dropped less significantly, from
44 last year to 43 this past month,
Sheriff Herman Chapman said.
Some of those persons arrested
after July 29 came to trial Mon­day,
facing for the first time the
harsher punishments under the
new law, Judge Mike Nix said.
"I had a lot of second offenders
in court and three or four third-time
offenders, and not a single
one seemed to know about the
new law," the judge said.
Chapman said he thinks the
"average drinker," after he has
heard of the stiffer penalties, will
be more cautious, causing the
number of arrests within the next
year to decrease.
"From talk I've heard on the
street, most people who know
about the law say that now it
doesn't pay to drink and drive,"
the sheriff said.
"But at the same time, a certain
percent will have a few drinks,
forget about the law and drive
anyway," he added.
Nix agreed. "Possibly, if a per­son
has heard of the new senten­ces
and fine he will take precau­tions
before drinking. He might
try to line up some type of
'escort'," he said.
The driver arrested for DUI is
held in jail until the alcohol in his
bloodstream dissipates below .10,
Chapman said.
The alcoholic content of a per­son's
blood is measured by a
machine which "records the

Asbestos panic premature
says AU geology professor
By Lori Leath
News Staff
Tests made while student dormitories were vacant during the
summer show asbestos levels in dorm rooms are 100 to 1000 times
less than the allowable occupational level, said Paul Parks of Uni­versity
Research.
Air samples collected from dorm rooms revealed that levels are
safe in relation to an OSHA standard level of a hazardous condi­tion,
said Judy Geppert, SGA Director of Consumer Housing.
However, University Housing has said students concerned about
the effect of asbestos on their health can be released from their
contracts.
Professor Thomas J. Carrington, head of the Geology depart­ment,
said present knowledge of asbestos' health effects is insuffi­cient
to prove levels in this area are hazardous and does not merit
closing down schools or spending large sums of money.
The most dangerous types of asbestos, Carrington said, are not
usually found in buildings anyway.
Dr. Howard Skipper, president emeritus of Southern Research
Institute in Birmingham, said trying to remove asbestos from old
dorms and buildings might make a bad situation worse. The mov­ing
around and scattering of the dust particles would just pollute
the surrounding air, he said.
Asbestos is a mineral used in more than 3,000 commercial, indus­trial
and personal products and is an important part of the modern
industrial economy.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission lists many catego­ries
of consumer products that contain or might contain asbestos.
Listed in the major categories are asbestos paper products, cloth
and woven products, asbestos cement products and various matrix
products.
Included in these categories would be pot holders, asbestos
gloves, toasters, lamp sockets, phonograph records, cigarette-lignter
wicks, laboratory table tops, blackboards and possibly file
cabinets, instant paper mache, popcorn poppers and refrigerators.
The controversy surrounding asbestos in dormitory rooms was
sparked because researchers have linked asbestos to several
illnesses. Such diseases include mesothelioma, a cancer of the
lungs lining, and asbestosis, a crippling, emphysemalike disease
caused by a build-up of asbestos fibers in the lungs.

Laying foundations for learning
New buildings re-shaping campus
By David Hubbard
News Staff
During the past year, Auburn
students .have seen a considera­ble
amount of new construction
taking place.
Several new buildings, includ­ing
the new student activities
building and the Engineering
Building I are in the process of
being built.
Construction is beginning on
the George C. Wallace Center for
Vocational and Adult Education
and on the Scott Ritchie com­plex,
a $1.75 million dollar addi­tion
to the Veterinary School.
Other additions to Auburn's
campus are in the making,
according to Tom Tillman, Uni­versity
architect.
Upgrading of Auburn's facili­ties
is the primary reason for all
the recent construction, said Till­man.
He added that student en­rollment,
now at 19,000-20,000
students, was not great enough to
warrant any real expansion.
Tillman said that the construc­tion
is in accordance with a mas­ter
plan of the campus. The mas­ter
plan was compiled in 1978 and
it serves as a guideline for
Auburn's physical growth.
Auburn bad a real need for an
organized plan to refer to in terms
of its future progress, Tillman
said.
Much of the funding for the
new construction has come from
the Generations Fund. The Uni­versity
recently tapped revenue
from oil lease investments mak­ing
the George C. Wallace Center
a reality. A total of approxi­mately
$50,000,000 is to be spent
on proposed construction and
$20~000,000 has already been
spent on the recent improve­ments,
Tillman said.
The engineering Complex is
the next large project to be built.
It will consist of 200,000 square
feet of space and will be erected at
the site where Broun Hall cur­rently
stands.
Demolition of Broun Hall is to
begin in November.
Construction for the first phase
of the Engineering Complex is
slated to begin during the first
half of 1984, said Tillman.'The
structures within the complex, he
said, will be only three stories
above ground level. There is one
underground level which will
house classrooms and an under­ground
network of service drive­ways
and loading centers.
"It is to be a state of the art
engineering complex that is
compatable the traditional archi­tecture
of Auburn University,"
Tillman said.
Meanwhile, the ROTC classes
will be moved to the old student
activities building until a new
ROTC building is built. The new
ROTC building will be located at
the intersection of Thatch
Avenue and Wire Road and con­struction
is expected to begin
sometime next spring.
A project that is a familiar one
to most students, is the Engineer
I Building. The structure, located
across from Foy Union, is 97,000
square feet of classroom, labora­tory,
office, and maintenance
space. A large auditorium is also
to be included.
The four story building is
approximately 80-85% complete,
said Tillman. Interior finishings,
landscaping, and the completion
of a pedestrian mall remain to be
finished.
The new students activities
building, located adjacent to the
west side of the Memorial Coli­seum,
is also nearing completion.
Landscaping being completed,
said Tillman. He added that the
building could possibly be com­pleted
as early as the end of this
quarter.
Another major project, the
George C. Wallace Center for
Vocational and Adult Education,
is to be built on a site on Donahue
Street, across from the security

Review
Instability in the middle
eastern countries C( ntinued
this week, with shooting in
Lebanon and stories of Soviet
bombings in Afghanistan. A
government agency reports
that the world can expect hot­ter
temperatures by the 1990's,
and America's future could
hold the building of a space-based
defense system.
Rezoning probable
INTERNATIONAL
Lebanese warring factions
met for peace talks, guarded
by 1,600 United States
Marines today. The meeting at
the Beirut International Air­port
will be held despite con­tinued
sniping at Marines and
other peacekeeping forces.
Soldiers from each of the
nations in the 4,800-member
multinational force will pro­tect
the negotiators.
Western diplomatic
sources said Tuesday the
Soviet Union has launched an
offensive in Afghanistan. A
reported 40 percent of the town
of Istalef, 20 miles north of the
country's capital, had been
destroyed in five days of
bombings.
And also on Tuesday, the
Knesset approved Yigal
Cohen-Orgad as finance min­ister
of Israel. A motion of no
confidence in the government
of Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir was raised by the
opposition Labor Party
yesterday.
And in the Philippines, Pres­ident
Ferdinand Marcos
missed a National Assembly
Session called to discuss the
country's political and eco­nomic
instability. The presi­dent's
failure to attend the
meeting raised questions
about his health and his
government's future.
NATIONAL
The Environmental Pro­tection
Agency said Tuesday
a world-wide warming trend
can be expected in the next
decade. An increasing amount
of carbon monoxide in the
atmosphere in causing a
"greenhouse effect" and will
eventually cause warmer
weather, unusual rain and
crop patterns and submerged
coastlines.
In Washington a researcher
says that those workers using
the nations seven million
video display terminals suffer
from vison loss and miss more
days of work than those not
using the machines. A con­gressional
panel was told
Tuesday that VDT workers
face pain in the back, neck and
shoulders and have more eye
strain and headaches.
And Defense Secretary Cas­par
Weinberger has recom­mended
to President Reagan
that a space-based missile
defense system be developed
over the next five years. It was
reported Tuesday that the
program would cost the nation
from $18 to $27 billion.
STATE
A fifth defendant's court
proceedings h ave begun in
Montgomery in connection
with the a Feb. 27 assault on
two white police officers by
five black men. Extradition
proceedings for Christopher
Columbus Taylor, 21, of Pon-tiac,
Mich., began this week on
charges of kidnapping.
And in a court case closer
to home, a federal judge ruled
Tuesday that Auburn was not
guilty of sex discrimination
when the University denied
tenure to a woman professor in
1981. Judge Robert Varner
announced his decision, to be
filed later this week, in the
case of Lida K. Mayfield, a
music professor for 12 years.
Mayfield had sued for punitive
and compensatory damages
and reinstatement of her job.

If a recommendation for
adjusting campus parking zones
is passed by the AU Parking and
Traffice committee, Auburn stu­dents
with D-zone parking
stickers (freshmen-juniors)
should find it easier to get a park­ing
space winter quarter.
In a memorandum issued to the
Parking and Traffic committee
last week, AU Police Chief Jack
Walton recommended that the
parking lot behind Jordan-Hare
stadium be changed from C-zone
(seniors and graduate students)
back to D-zone, the scholarship
parking lot from D-zone to C-zone,
the lot behind Petrie Hall
from A-zone (faculty) to B-zone
(GTA's and GRA's) and the north
side of Roosevelt Drive to R-zone
(dorm residents).
Walton said he recommended
the changes because "the A and
C zone lots are not being filled,
especially the lot behind the sta­dium."
The zone changes would
give additional parking spaces to
underclassmen and girls living
in the hill dorms, Walton said.
Parking and Traffice Chair­man
Dr. William Hardy said his
committee will hold its first meet­ing
within the next two weeks
and that there is a "good proba­bility"
the recommendation will
be passed.
If it passes, the zoning adjust­ment
wouldn't take effect until
the beginning of winter quarter,
Hardy said. "This would allow
the security office time to change
zoning signs and notify stu­dents,"
Hardy said.
Hardy said the zone changes
made at the beginning of fall
quarter (which resulted in half-empty
parking lots and a large
number of complaints from stu­dents)
were designed to help ease
traffic congestion on campus in
accordance with the University's
"Master Plan," a study done by a
Georgia architectural firm in
1978.
AU Campus Planner Thomas
Tillman said "Master Plan"
involves moving the majority of
student parking off-campus and
transporting students to classes
on shuttle buses.
The plan also calls for the con­struction
of three parking decks
on campus, holding up to 699 veh­icles
each, and the conversion of

Trial
have oeen a criteria for tenure
and that may have come with
later editions. Frank Swinson,
professor of Mechanical Engi­neering
and a former member of
the Promotion and Tenure Com­mittee,
testified that several
faculty members, some being
department heads have been
granted tenure without a major-continued
from A-l
ity vote of the faculty. He later
complained to the president that
this was reflective of the incon­sistency
with the tenure policy.
Keith McPheerters, Dean of
Architecture and Fine Arts, said
that Mrs.Mayfield had never
expressed the desire to be granted
tenure and was under the belief
that she was hired temporarily.

Thach Avenue into a pedestrian
mall, similar to the Haley Center
concourse, Tillman said.
The Lee County Transit
Authority (LEE-COT) has
already been involved in discus­sions
with the University regard­ing
the shuttle bus service, Til­lman
said.
LEE-COT Director Tina Wood
said discussions with the Uni­versity
have stalled because of
the search for a new president.
Wood said the initial discussions
involved taking a few cents from
each student's activity fee and
issuing each student a pass to use
the LEE-COT buses. LEE-COT
could provide students transpor­tation
around campus, as well as
other stops on the bus circuit,
including the Village Mall, Wood
said.
Hardy said the implementa­tion
of "Master Plan" depends on
a number of factors, including
student enrollment and available
funds.

amount in tenths," Chapman
added.
"A person with an alcoholic
content of about .15 usually
passes out," he said.
Under the regulations of the
old DUI laws, some persons were
released under bond before they
were completely sober," the sher-riff
added.
The s h e r i f f ' s department
should soon receive a chart with
possible amounts of alcoholic
content in the bloodstream and
the number of hours it takes for a
certain amount to dissipate,
Chapman said.
"For example, a person
around .14or.l5hastostayhere
in jail four or five hours," he said.
"The new law has more teeth in
it than ever before and doesn't let
a person off so easily," Chapman
said.
Each area of penalization has
become stiffer. One example is
the person refusing to take a
chemical test to determine the
amount of alcohol in the blood­stream.
He will have his license
suspended for 90 days.
A second refusal within five
years will result in the loss of
license for one year.
The suspension is automatic
upon refusal to take the test. Such
strict provisions under the old
law did not exist, Chapman said.
Nix said he feels the standardi­zation
of the law is not best for
quality.

good. We have to stop the drunk
drivers. But, the people must
have confidence in the judiciary
and allow a judge discretion in a
case with unusual circumstan­ces,"
the judge said.
The judge should have a broad
enough statute to allow for lee­way,
he said.
"License revocation hurts the
most. The most important blow
caused is to shock a potential
first-time offender into not driv­ing
drunk," Nix said.
The new law states that first
offenders are subject to a fine of
no less than $250 and no more
than $1,000. A jail sentence of no
longer than one year is possible.
First offenders will also receive
a 90-day driver's license suspen­sion
and must complete a DUI
rehabilitation program.

the treatment. We use jail, Alco-

A second conviction for DUI
will result in a fine of no less than

and a possible one-year jail
sentence.
Also upon second conviction, a
mandatory sentence of 48 hours
in jail or 20 hours of community
service is required.

will be revoked for one year.
A jail sentence of at least 60
days without probation is
required of the third-time
offender. A fine of no less than

also a penalty for a third DUI
offense.

SGAs join together
Auburn is joining hands with
other Alabama colleges to work
toward improved student voting
rights.
The SGA Legislative Relations
Committee is working with other
four-year colleges to create a 15-
member coalition that will "go
before the Legislature, not to voice
grievances, but say these are the
things we're interested in."
This same committee is also work­ing
to form a Student Lobby Com­mittee
of 70 Auburn students con­sisting
of two representatives from
each of the state's 35 districts. The
purpose of this committee is to
increase student involvement in
state lobbying efforts and electoral
campaigns.
It's a nice change to see students
showing an interest in politics and
voting rights. Last spring's SGA
election saw only an approximately
30 percent voter turnout among the
student body. That is certainly
nothing to brag about, but it was an
increase from the previous year.
Judging from that figure, student
turnout for elections in recent years,
one might think students were not
interested in elections and their
right to vote.
But other factors are sometimes
overlooked. Absentee ballots are dif­ficult
to obtain unless you know
proper procedures. Students often
find voting booths located in areas
difficult to reach. And, some stu­dents
are not registered to vote in the
area and fail to do so by election
time.
College students may only reside
in an area for four years, but they
deserve the right to vote just as any
other citizen. With our SGA working
together with representatives from
15 other schools, ideas on solving
problems can be shared and a
larger, combined voice can be
echoed in Montgomery.
The committee to increase student,
involvement in lobbying efforts and
election campaigns is also a step in a
positive direction. The Auburn
representation among legislative
members is extremely important for
University strength, as well as val­uable
experience for lobby members.
These two projects are positive
ideas and can be progressive and
productive for Auburn. All that now,
remains is student efforts to join I
these organizations and leave
behind an apathetic history.
Some unaware of law
It's DUI time again.
It seems that all too often this
space carries bad news about trage­dies
involving drunk drivers. Per­haps,
now, we are finally faced with
a breath of fresh air.
Although officials are reluctant to
say whether stiffer DUI penalties
have had any effect on the number
of people driving drunk, it is a fact
that since the laws went into effect
July 29, the number DUI arrests in
Lee County has dropped con­siderably.
Part of the reluctance on the part
of officials to attribute the decrease
to the new laws is that they are not
sure drivers are even aware of the
stiffer penalties they could face.
Officials feel that once someone is
made aware of the new law, he will
think twice about driving drunk.
Under the new laws, a drunk
driver must remain in jail until he or
she is completely sober. In addition,
a suspect who refuses to have his
bloodstream checked for alcohol will
automatically receive a 90-day
license suspension. As with the old
law, offenders must complete a DUI
rehabilitation program.
Whether or not it had anything to
do with the stricter laws no one
really knows, but is is encouraging
to see that authorities are making a
concerted effort to make the streets
safer for the sober.
As for the new law, it still proba­bly
is not strong enough. It is a start,
however, and if it can steer one per­son
away from driving drunk at the
wheel—just one—it will have been
effective.
Vocal Ohioans respond
Students deserve evaluations
The results are in and they are not
too startling.
According to an SGA phone poll
conducted Monday, 100 percent of
the students questioned were in
favor of filling out the teacher eva­luation
forms each quarter.
Of the 165 students questioned,
54.5 percent said they would even be
willing to pay for the publication of
the results through the SGA.
Criteria mentioned in evaluating
the teachers included types of tests
and assignments, instructor's
knowledge of the subject matter,
instructor's personality traits and
the type of out of class assignments
expected from the students.
Many questions have been raised
by the proposed evaluation: Is it too
subjective to judge teachers' per­sonalities?
Will evaluations of this
nature allow students to search for
an "easy" teacher so they can get
through the course? Is it even the
students' place to be evaluating
instructor performance?
As it stands now, evaluations that
are conducted are never seen by or
summarized for the students. What
good does this do? Sure, a peer eva­luation
serves a purpose, but the
results could be so much more useful
if made available to the students.
It is the right of every student to
know what he or she is getting into
when taking a class. This is not so
one can avoid the difficult teachers
and take the easy ones. It is essen­tially
so the student can take the
class that best would suit him and
his needs.
For instance, if a certain student
performs better on a discussion test,
evaluations would aid him in find­ing
an instructor who doesn't rely
heavily on objective material, or
vice versa.
Most importantly, however, the
publication of evaluation results
would give students a choice. Most
students at Auburn are mature
enough to choose their instructors
on the basis of the best possible edu­cational
experience, not the easiest
way out.
Let's hope that the general faculty
will allow students this choice and
support the SGA Evaluation Bill
when it comes up for a campus wide
vote.

It's not often that a column about a
summer in Ohio will get more response
than a column saying Martin Luther
King doesn't deserve a national holiday.
Thus, I was greatly surprised after I
printed my editorial "Auburn Over Ohio
Any Day." I received phone calls, letters
(handwritten and after deadline, or they
would have appeared in The Plainsman)
and even personal visits from Ohioans
or former Ohioans questioning the
validity of my "accusations."
The one topic that kept coming up was
Ohio State University. For the record, I
never intended to berate this institution
of higher learning (although I still
think it is too big).
On the contrary, I feel that OSU has
many things to offer students that
Auburn can't come near equalling. The
campus is in effect a city itself—a stu-dent
need never venture into the city of
Columbus while enrolled at OSU.
The most evident advantage (or dis­advantage)
OSU has over Auburn is its
size. '/'.
The main campus itself boasts 53,530 -
students. (A 1983-84 estimate by the
Ohio Board of Regents.) These students
take classes within 19 colleges (such as
Arts, Optometry, Medicine) and 7
schools. In other words, if you can't find
something to study at OSU, you need to
re-evaluate your career objectives.
Most, everything positive at OSU
stems from the enormity of the student
body. The larger a college is, of course,
the more money it has to expend.
One asset that OSU has over Auburn
hands down is its extensive bike path
system. The paths are paved, lined and
separated well from the main line of
traffic. Not only is the system safe and
useful, it is extensive.
The most noticeable difference from
AU at OSU is the dormitories. I had the
pleasure of spending two weeks in the
graduate dorms on campus. My dorm
had an indoor swimming pool, a snack
bar, elevators (12 stories!)—even maid
service.
And the dorms aren't the only impres­sive
features on OSU's campus. The
recreational facilities are second to |
none. On each end of campus, students
can use a branch of the Jesse Owens Rec j
Center. Each branch has rooms for I
handball, basketball, jogging and most
any other indoor activity. With over
50,000 students, these branches are a
good idea. For over 18,000, however, the
new student act building will be just
fine.
Food, like recreation, is in abundance
around campus. If you're too lazy to
walk across High Street to et Polyne­sian,
Chinese or even good old Ameri­can,
you can eat at one of the main cam­pus'
many snack bars or cafeterias.
There is also no lack of cultural activ­ity
on campus. Even during the summer,
there were major movies showing
somewhere on campus almost every
night of the week.
This abundance of cultural opportun­ity
helps keep OSU busy to the late hours
of the night, unlike Auburn, as a letter
writer pointed out, that shuts down after
6 p.m.
Enough for equal time. I still contend
that Auburn is a much friendlier place
than Columbus.
Sure, Polynesian food and movies
every night are great, but I'd take good
old friendly Auburn and the UPC any
day.
New state constitution needed
nftQIISSS
Shubert
• f " •*• aBp; ]
ssHk v f Ef j
p^fe - ; ,^M
A 68-year old battle is still raging in
Alabama. It is not a feud and does not
pertain to a football rivalry.
It is the battle to write a new constitu­tion
for the state.
A new state constitution was proposed
and adopted by the 1983 Legislature in
the form of a single amendment to
replace the 1901 state constitution. That
1901 constitution, the most-amended in
the nation, contains 95,000 words and
has been amended 435 times.
But Rep. Rick Manley of Demopolis
contends that was the incorrect process
to use in obtaining a new constitution.
He feels that, according to state law, a
constitution convention should be held
to write a new constitution.
So, Manley filed suit challenging the
adoption. And Manley won, striking
down the proposed constitution. But
now the State Supreme Court has tem­porarily
blocked that judge's order and
has put this amendment back on the
Nov. 8 ballot for voter approval.
This legal run-around is nothing new
for Montgomery lawmakers. A lengthy
debate, since 1915 in fact, has been circu­lating
around the state constitution.
Only 14 years after its adoption Gov.
Emmett O'Neal called for a rewriting of
the document because "no real or per­manent
progress is possible in Alabama
until the present fundamental law is
throughly revised to meet present
conditions."
Yes, that was 68 years ago. One can
see how much progress has been made
since then. We still have the same con­stitution,
sporting its 435 amendments.
And our legislators are still squabbling
about how to go about writing a new one.
Regardless of the final decision the
Supreme Court levies, law will have
finally been made. Gov. George Wallace
has joined the state's appeal as a "friend
of the court" in support of the document
and has not been joined by any other
person or groups. Not even Lt. Gov. Bax-ley,
father of the new constitution, has
joined in the court battle.
One thing Wallace has done in "sup­port"
of the document is to limit the pub­lication
of the proposed constitution in,
state newspapers. According to state
Constitution, the state is required to
publish any proposed amendment to the
Constitution in each of Alabama's 67
counties four times prior to a statewide
vote on the amendment.
But Wallace has decided that, in coun­ties
containing more than half the
state's registered voters, publication of
the proposed constitution be limited to
small newspapers with small circula­tions
rather than larger newspapers
that cover an entire county.
That, in effect, means that instead of
picking up a Birmingham News to find a
copy of the proposal, a person will have
to find a copy of the Alabama Mes­senger,
which has a circulation of 1,800.
Just what the state needs—
uninformed citizens who could be called
upon to vote on a document they know
nothing about. Not much is known
about the contents of the new constitu­tion,
and there is a clear need for more
information, not less, to be given to Ala­bama
voters.
The present state constitution is
clearly outdated, over-amended and
ready for replacement. Something must
be done. A clear presentation of the con­tents
of the document and a designated
method of approval must be determined.
Or the Legislature can keep proposing
more amendments until the "constitu­tion"
is merely a collection of clarifica­tions,
undefined situations and conflict­ing
laws.
It is almost there now.
Oh, for that football rivalry back in 1955
When I was a child, my family would
gather around the radio and listen to
Gary Sanders announce the games. One
such Saturday afternoon in early fall,
after Pat Sullivan had set an SEC record
for consecutive completions against
Georgia Tech, my father told me his ver­sion
of the 'great rivalry.'
It was a cool autumn afternoon in mid-
October 1955 and my mother and father
had traveled to Atlanta for Auburn and
Tech's annual gridiron classic. They
were (as I am) seniors at Auburn, and a
victory over Tech was highly desirable
considering Tech had won the last 14
games.
My father resented Auburn having to
play in Atlanta year after year. The old
established Tech fans would arrive at
Grant Field in their furs and blackCadil-lacs,
cheer the Yellow Jackets on to vic­tory
and then smuggly drive home.
Not only were they intimidating, but
infuriating as well.
College Pre»» Service

W6Ek SflMBTlMe ? "
So it'was in 1955, but that year was to
be different. By the end of the contest,
Auburn won 14-12. How my mother and
father cheered with glee as Tech stu­dents
and Georgia state troopers lined
the field to protect it from over-exuberant
Auburn fans.
Thoughts like these filled my mind as
I sat in a carload of Auburn fans on 1-85
early Saturday morning. Grant Field is
intimidating and a little unaccommo­dating.
Tech fans are obnoxious (espe­cially
with frisbees), but as far as I could
tell, the old guard in furs and Cadillacs
was missing.
The rivalry between the two schools
has long since diminished. Tech now
plays in Auburn, and a Tiger victory is
almost always assured, therefore it was
no surprise Auburn won 31-13.
Traditions change, and unlike that
boisterous afternoon in 1955 when many
students raced back to Auburn to roll
Toomer's corner, now most students
stay in Atlanta to enjoy the victory and
celebrate on the town.
So it was with me. After eating dinner
at the Varsity, "that friendly little gath­ering
place," I set out to paint the town.
The first shock was seeing the way my
companions were dressed. What is it
about leaving Auburn that causes peo­ple
to totally lose their character?
Dressed to kill in spiked heels and
leather belts, the girls I was with
screamed Billy Joel cuts and clamored
for the 'Slimelighf. Fully knowing that
a trip to Atlanta wasn't complete with­out
visiting there, I boosted, my courage
and drove off.
After several wrong turns and a quick
drive through downtown Atlanta, we
finally arrived at the Slimelight (as the
locals call it). Of course we arrived late,
and of course the line was two blocks
long, so we decided to try out the Great
I Buckhead Saloon.
Auburn fans were conspicuously pres­ent,
singing and cheering for a couple of
hours. However, a deep longing over­came
me.
The Slimelight. Were all those shock­ing
stories I had heard about it true? The
tigers? The sharks? The queers? The
drugs? The women with loose morals?
This time there was no line as we
neared the famed doors. It was as if the
road to hell had opened up before us
.Like St. George and his dragon, 1
unabashedly paid the cover charge and
entered.
It wasn't like Alice in Wonderland or
The Wizard ofOz or even like Christmas.
It was eerie.
The tigers and sharks were gone, the
drugs nowhere to be seen, but the loose
women and queers, everywhere.
The Slimelight is a theatrical marvel.
Lights burn and flicker with the monot­onous
drone of the dreaded disco beat.
Confetti litters the floor and streamers
hang from the ceiling.
From the burning of the eyes by 100 lit
cigarettes to the musk stench rising
from 100 palpitating bodies, the Slime­light
forces the senses to cry out for,
moderation.
At the heart of this monstrosity, a
dance floor is bombarded by hurricane
winds and volcanic smoke. Like a caul­dron
boiling a magic brew, strange
sounds and haunting fog rise above the
squirming bodies and dissipates in the
mechanical catwalk high above the
crowd.
With the facade of a garish Manhat-ten
penthouse and the illusion of plush
wall-to-wall and thick foam cushions,
the Slimelight generates an uneasy feel­ing
of a masquerade.
During the show an erotically dancing
firebird descended from the heavens in a
guilded cage. This along with the other
theatrics performed at the Slimelight
resembled a circus and indeed, created a
sickly film of amusement.
And the people. Coming from every
walk of that vast cosmopolitan city, they
glittered and mixed into one homogen­ous
mass of swarming humanity. Vain
people gyrating on the speakers, bashful
people hiding in the balcony, brave peo­ple
dancing on the dance floor.
It was fun, losing those inhibitions for
that one brief moment where no one
would see you or recognize you in that
make-believe world.
Such an odd assemblage of characters
should be viewed by everyone, every
once in a while, but even this sparkling
land of dreams (or nightmares, as it at
times appeared to me) grows old, and by
the time I had tired of this foolish play­ground,
the Slimelight had begun to
close down.
As we drove out of the parking lot I
thought to myself, thank God I had gone
and experienced it and thank God that
experience was over. Life in the big city.
On the way back to the hotel, we
stopped at a handi-mart to ask direc­tions.
In front of us in line was a heavy
set woman in a black and white dress.
I looked over at the man behind the
cash register and asked for directions,
the woman turned around and replied in
a raspy voice "turn left at the next
light." It was then I noticed, this ain't no
woman.
"Get in the car," I said to the two girls
who stood behind me. As we hurriedly
walked to the car, I could hear the
transvestite cackling as he drove off in
his dilapidated wreck of a Cadillac.
Oh for the days of 1955.

Gimme a c-h-e-e-r

Cashwell
In the words of an Auburn University
cheerleader, "You're doing a great job,
but you could do better."
This is a statement which works in the
reverse as well. Cheering at an Auburn
football game is a tradition and tradi­tions
at Auburn are always followed.
Auburn University's cheerleaders
dedicate a great amount of time to prac­tice
and games. In addition to regular
season, the cheerleaders are required to
attend some sports events during school
breaks. It is this dedication to Auburn
that displays that great Auburn spirit.
Arriving two hours prior to kick off at
Jordan-Hare Stadium is not unusual for
most fans. We scout the opposition and
after sizing up the other team to the best
of our coaching ability, we begin to
search for other things to keep ourselves
occupied.
The average fan can watch the
Auburn University cheerleaders doing
their normal stretches, bends, flips and
jumps. So the fan comes to the conclu­sion
that the cheerleaders will do fine
come game time.
While we wait impatiently for cheers
to be led, the opponent's fans can be
heard across the field, getting louder
and louder. But Auburn remains dor­mant
as our cheerleaders continue to
warm up and prepare for the game
ahead.
Fans throughout the stands make
attempts to start their own cheers, try­ing
desperately to prepare themselves
for any support they may be able to lend
to the Tigers.
I think some pre-game motivation
from our cheerleaders would help those
in the stands be more involved during
the game. I'm sure with all the moving
around the cheerleaders do during pre-game
activity, their adrenaline is flow­ing
nicely. However, at kick off the fans
sitting and watching are not motivated
to start cheering.
Three weeks ago when the Tigers took
on Florida State University, the cheers
did not start until after the kick off and
did not cease until several minutes after
the game was over. I think the times
should be in reverse and cheer prior to
the kick off. After the fact is a bit too late.
A crowd can do all the cheering or crying
it wants to after the game, but this won't
help the team win or lose.
Just last week at Georgia Tech's
Grant Field, several groups attempted to
start cheers, but all efforts for pre-game
cheers were to no avail. Again, the first
cheer was a War Eagle when Del Greco
kicked off to Georgia Tech.
The practice cheers for this week's
game against Mississippi State were a
great idea. And I hope those cheers will
be used in a manner to benefit our
Tigers.
I also commend the cheerleaders this
year for their efforts to include the entire
stadium while cheering. I've always felt
the alumni had as much, if not more
spirit than the students. So I thank the
cheerleaders this year for recognizing
that potential.
I would hope that with the expecta­tions
of an excellent football team, the
fans would be allowed the opportunity to
join in that success. After all, being a
part of Auburn is more than a privilege,
it's a tradition. The fans could get moti­vated
at the same time as players and
'cheerleaders and carry on that Auburn
tradition of great spirit. In other words*
you're doing a great job, but I know you
could do better.
Student applauds Mayfield
Editor, The Plainsman,
The October 13, 1983 issue of The
Plainsman contained two front page
articles concerning former faculty
member Lida Mayfield's tenure suit.
Both of these articles, as well as an edi­torial,
pointed out the appalling fact
that the first, and apparently only, con­sideration
for granting tenure is how
well the candidate works with other
faculty members. What about how well
the candidate for tenure works with
his/her students?
As a former student of Mayfield's, I
know what a fin*, .eacher she is. She is
tough, hard-working and fair to her stu­dents.
More that that, she is a fine musi­cian.
Mayfield cares about her students
and their overall development as
musicians.
How successful she was with her stu­dents
is evidenced by the number of us
who have either stopped studying flute
or have transferred to other universities.
The Auburn Music Department could
certainly use more professors who elicit
the kind of hard work and dedication to
their craft that "Bootsie" Mayfield
inspired in students, not less.

Parade behavior good
"New" Bible goes too far
I suppose the churches that requested
the National Council of Churches to
change some common passages in the
Bible from sexist to non-sexist terms will
now begin the Lord's prayer with "Our
Father and Mother, who art in
heaven..."
The council issued certain Bible read­ings
last Friday with new non-biased
terms. In these readings God is not
named as "God the Father" but "God the
Father and Mother." Jesus Christ is not
called the "Son of God" but the "Child of
God." Man is not referred to as "man"
but the "human being". The use of
"Lord" as a reference to God or Jesus is
replaced with "sovereign," and "king­dom"
is replaced with "realm."
For example Matthew 7:21, "Not every
one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall
enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does the will of my father is in heaven,"
reads "Not every one who says to me
"My sovereign, my sovereign,' shall
enter the realm of heaven, but those who
do the will of (God) my father (and
Mother) who is in heaven."
This may well please people who feel
offended that God says in the Bible that
He sent a son and that He describes
Himself again and again in scripture as
a Father to His people.
But changing the terms in 1983 for
someone who is offended at God's char­acter
as a Father will not change all the
references in the Bible to Him as a
Father. Nor will calling Jesus the Child
of God change the historical fact of man
named Jesus of Nazareth who walked
the earth for 33 years telling of his
Father who sent him and who was
finally put to death by his own people.
When a group of people feel they have
the power to usurp the authority of God
in naming Him and when that change
implies a radical difference in meaning,
I think such change should be carefully
scrutinized on the basis of scripture
itself and in this case the change
ignored.
For example, one of God's names that
appears several times in scripture in
Abba, which in its original text dis­tinctly
means father and denotes a per­sonal
relationship.
Lord, in its original text commonly
meant husband, father or master.
Why is it that we are so quickly becom­ing
a nation that doesn't take the Bible
seriously? I fear our future if we continue
in this direction.
I find it peculiar that the Bible's
account of God's male character or Jesus
being a man is offensive. It is because of
His perfect character that true identity
can be established in individuals.
A believer in Christ, according to the
Bible, takes his or her place as a son or
daughter in God's kingdom. A God who
with a perfect fatherly character disci­plines,
blesses and honors His sons and
daughters in a way only a perfect Father
can. Yet this in no way demeans the role
of a woman or a mother.
It seems to me, to call God "Father and
Mother" is not to call Him God at all,
and to not recognize Jesus as the Son of
God is to not recognize Him at all.

Women's problems represented
Editor, The Plainsman,
On behalf of the Auburn Women's
Caucus, I want to thank the Plainsman
for publishing guest editorials by Sheila
Eckman (Aug. 4) and Charlotte Ward
(Aug. 11) which call attention to discrim­ination
based on sex that is practiced on
this campus. As Ward pointed out, the
inequity suffered by women faculty and
staff both in terms of position and salary
is an undeniable fact of life and indeed
pervades almost every institution and
workplace in this state and country.
It is most viciously entrenched in job
segregation and the undervaluing of
work done by women. According to a
1981 National Academy of Sciences
Report, "The more an occupation is dom­inated
by women, the less it pays."
But this situation is not inevitable,
and there is increasing recognition of
the principle of equal pay for compara­ble
work. For state employees, legal
remedy is possible under Title VII of the
1964 Civil Rights Act. This month, rul­ing
in favor of the American Federation
of State, County, and Municipal
Employees in a suit filed on behalf of
15,000 employees in the State of
Washington, a federal district judge
declared that the evidence of wage dis­crimination
was overwhelming.
According to the Bureau of National
Affairs which reported the case (Sept.
16), the State of Washington failed to
remedy wage disparity following a 1974
comparable worth study which showed
that "women employees received about
20 percent less pay than men doing work
requiring equal skill, knowledge, mental
demands, accountability, and working
conditions."
Members of the Auburn Women's
Caucus are encouraged by the growing
recognition of the principle of equal pay
for work of comparable value, and we
are determined to press for that principle
and its implementation in this institu­tion
as well as for a greater representa­tion
of women in positions of leadership.
We need and welcome support.

published two guest editorials
which addressed women's issues on our
campus. Sheila Eckman's article,
"Nonacademic staff deserves recogni­tion,"
appeared August 4 issue, and Dr.
Charlotte Ward's "AU women, discrim­ination
victims?" was in the August 11
issue.
The articles make clear that academic
and nonacademic women on campus
share many common concerns. Readers
who would like to become involved in
these issues may want to join the
Women's Caucus, a group consisting of
academic and nonacademic employees
as well as students.
Please watch for announcements of
their meetings in The Plainsman and
other campus publications.

Timing for King holiday questioned
Editor, The Plainsman:
This year's Wreck Tech Parade was
one of the safest and most trouble-free
parades in recent years. This was a
result of the cooperation and effort on
the part of the students. Several high-ranking
administrative officials com­mented
to us that the students were the
best behaved group of students they
have seen in a long time. The officials
also commented on the fact of an
absence of alcohol at the parade, which
was due to the support we received from
the fraternities and sororities.
As directors of the 1983 Wreck Tech
Parade, we would like to sincerely thank
the fraternities and sororities for their
cooperation and their genuine spirit that
was displayed both during the parade
and in the construction of the floats.
We also would like to thank all the
parade marshals who helped with the
parade. We would also like to give a spe­cial
thanks to Pat Dye and the football
players who took time out of their busy
schedule to attend the pep rally. In addi­tion,
we would like to thank the band
and the cheerleaders for their continual
help and enthusiasm.
In conclusion, both of us and the
administrative officials feel that the fra­ternities
and sororities should be con­gratulated
on the manner in which they
conducted themselves as adults. See you
in New Orleans!

Editor, the Plainsman:
There seems to be a misconception
about the basic nature of the Martin
Luther King holiday that needs to be
straightened out, before those support­ing
the bill become more confused than
they already are.
No insult is intended to these sincere
people. It takes reasoning to understand
the implications of what we're passing
through Congress, and emotions are so
much easier, who can blame them?
We're all on the sidelines, cheering the
black people in their fight for equality.
This is an opportunity, right? After all,
the major purpose of the King holiday is
as an inspiration and rallying point for
the black people. This sounds great!
Apple pie and motherhood, move over
for the King holiday!
But tell me, whatever happened to
racial unity?
George Washington, to whom Martin
Luther King must be compared to if his
holiday becomes a reality, has been
awarded a special day not just for the
magnitude of his acomplishments, but
also for his position as "father of our
country." That title is more than a
platitude.
America is strenghtened by heroes
that command respect from all citizens,
regardless of race, creed, or sex. George
was so universally admired we named a
day of the year after him. I refuse to
argue about the relative importance of
King and Washington (apples and
oranges), but isn't it obvious who Martin
Luther King Day will end up being cele­brated
by?
Regardless of the good intentions of
both races, the implicit assumption
behind King Day is that blacks are
being given a holiday of their own. This
self-imposed segregation will hurt the
cause of racial unity, not help it.
So, should Martin Luther King, Jr.
have his own holiday? A resounding
"No!" is tempting...but wrong. The time
is "bad, not the idea. How about a quiet
"Not yet"? A fifty year wait has been
suggested. This is sensible, not timid or
stodgy.
After nearly two centuries, Washing­ton's
memory is still fresh. If the
memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. can
fade or be white-washed out of exsist-ance
in a mere fifty years then was he
really so special after all? If King's holi­day
is allowed to be used as a political
weapon we will never know.

Students should show respect
Editor, The Plainsman,
I have wanted to write this letter for a
long time, hoping maybe things would
improve; but they have only worsened.
For many Saturdays, my enjoyment
of Auburn University football has been
prevented by the disrespect that Auburn
fans display. The disrespect the Auburn
fans show is not directed at the visiting
team.
The disrespect that the Auburn fans
(student fans) display is directed at the
United States of America, and the cata­lyst
for their disrespect is the Star
Spangled Banner, our National
Anthem. Cymbal noises show several
things about those who make them.
These things are immaturity, ignorance,
rudeness and above all disrespectful
behavior.
There are countries in which you
would be arrested or jailed, and possibly
executed, for displaying the same type of
disrespectful behavior. Maybe those
who make these cymbal noises would
like to live in countries such as Russia,
where you might be arrested for no rea­son;
in India, where the living condi­tions
are between poor and horrid; or in
Saudia Arabia, which is a dry country.
My point is that this is a free country,
and we owe something to it, and I don't
believe it's asking too much to stop for a
few minutes to think about how fortu­nate
you are to live here, about what this
country stands for, about those who
have fought for this country and upon
their return to this country have burst
into tears hearing the National Anthem
because they have fought for what is
stands for.
In conclusion, my complaint is
directed towards those who make cym­bal
noises during the National Anthem
at football games. If you think you're
being cute or funny by doing this horri­ble
act, think again. You are only dam­aging
Auburn's reputation of having
pride with respect to this country.
Think about how Hartsfield and Mat-tingly
probably felt when this was done
while they were in attendance at a foot­ball
game last year. Come on Auburn,
you have pride when it comes to
football—now show some for your
country!

'Dock' set for Spring rebirth
By Melanie Dickey
News Staff
The Quad Dock Cafeteria is
scheduled to be renovated by the
end of Spring Quarter 1984.
According to Mr. Art Call, Food
Services Director, these renova­tions
will improve the services
offered by this cafeteria as well as
the looks and condition of the
dining area.
Renovations are being funded
by money generated by Food
Services. No money is being
received from University funds.
However, the Board of Trustees
at Auburn did approve the use of
these Food Services funds last
spring.
Specific improvements to the
cafeteria include: repairing leaks
in the roof, fixing and repainting
the walls, buying new drapes and
carpet, moving the present man­ager's
office to provide room for a
two-line system and providing
areas for private dining for ban­quets
or gatherings.
The two-line system will
include a hot meal line as well as
a sandwich and cold cut line with
a salad bar.
Along with the structural
improvements, Call states that
the electrical system in the Quad
Dock will be reworked to handle a
larger load. He says that the
present system is so overloaded
that when new cash registers
Taxis required at fundraisers
By Carolyn Smiley
Copy Editor
All fraternities sponsoring
fund-raisers this year will be
required to provide a transporta­tion
service for those unable to
drive, according to a new ruling
by the SGA.
Frank Chalfont, liason to the
City Council, said the idea for
this ruling came from previous
use of a taxi service at fraternity
functions.
"Now, at every fund-raiser
there has to be a taxi for all stu­dents,
not just the fraternity
members," Chalfont said.
In an effort to alert people that
anybody can use it, the SGA is
presently trying to pass a law
which will require that each
ticket sold to the fund-raiser
advertise the taxi service, Chal­font
said.
The service is paid for by the
fraternities from the money they
earn from the event. "The reacon
for this is because the fraternities
have plenty of money from these
fund-raisers. They don't lose
money on them," Chalfont said.
The source of the taxis has not
been determined. The SGA is
hoping to determine a uniform
source, perhaps getting a con­tract
with one taxi company,
Chalfont said. He added, "That
probably will not happen for
another year or so."
Recently a University van was
used to provide taxi service for
the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity
fund-raiser.
According to Chalfont, every
fraternity so far has complied
with the new ruling. If they do
not, the SGA is not sure what
actions will be taken. If the situa­tion
arises, Auburn's Dean of
Students, Grant Davis, will
determine how it will be handled.
were added, the yogurt and ice
cream machine had to be
unplugged to allow enough elec­tricity
for the cash registers.
No changes will made to the
lower floor or the outside of the
building until next year.
Opelika architect James John­ston
is working on these
improvements. He is trying to
find a contractor who can repair
the old-styled, slate roof.
Call says that the work will not
begin until late spring quarter
because it is very important that
students maintain their eating
habits. Changing the cafeteria
location may discourage stu­dents
from eating in the cafeteria
regularly because they would
have to walk farther for their
meal.
The Quad Dock building was
originally the Women's Dorm
Cafeteria.

Plains to host Pulitzer winner
Pulitzer prize-winning journal­ist
and author Seymour Hersh
will be on the Auburn campus for
a two-day visit beginning Mon­day,
Oct. 24, as the fall quarter
Franklin Lecturer.
He will deliver a talk Monday
at 1:15 p.m. in the Exhibit Gallery
of Foy Union which will be open
to the public.
In addition to his talk in the
Union Gallery, Hersh will visit
with classes in journalism and
political science.
Hersh resigned his position as
an investigative reporter at the
New York Times in 1979 to work
on his current best seller, The
Price of Power which details
Henry Kissinger's White House
years under the Nixon admini­stration.
Controversial, because it
challenges both Kissinger's and
Nixon's accounts of the period,
Hersh's work reassesses the Kis­singer
mystique.
Hersh is the recipient of more
than a dozen major journalism
prizes, among them the 1970
Pulitzer Prize for International
Reporting for his account of the
My Lai Massacre.
The My Lai story also earned
him the George Polk Award, the

second Polk Award in 1974.
The next year he won the Drew

for his coverage of the involve­ment
of former CIA officials in
arms sales to Libya.
Hersh was born in Chicago in
1937. Following his graduation
in 1958 from the University of
Chicago he began his newspaper
career as a police reporter for the
City News Bureau in Chicago.
After service in the Army he
joined UPI, stationed in Pierre,
South Dakota.
In 1968 he served as press
secretary and speech writer for
Sen. Eugene McCarthy in his
unsuccessful presidential bid. He
joined the New York Times in
1972.
The author of two books on My
Lai and another on chemical
warfare, Hersh is now a writer on
national affairs for the Atlantic
Monthly magazine.
Evaluations favored
By James Dotson
News Staff
Most students at Auburn Uni­versity
would probably be in
favor of regular published faculty
evaluations, according to the
results of an SGA telephone poll
conducted Monday.
The survey was conducted to
get some student response to the
idea of a quarterly evaluation of
faculty members by their
students.
Of the 165 students questioned,
all agreed they would willingly
devote about 15 minutes of class
time at the end of each quarter to
answer a questionnaire evaluat­ing
the instructor in that class.
The results of the question­naires
would then be compiled
and written up in paragraph
form to be published by the SGA.
Of the students polled, 54.5 per­cent
said they would be willing to
pay for the published results.
The evaluation, said 90.9 per­cent
of the respondents, should
include types of tests and
assignments, the instructor's
knowledge of the subject matter,
the instructor's out-of-class
availability and some of the
mannerisms, behavior and per­sonality
traits that could effect
the learning process.
Other suggestions for the eva­luation
included teacher attitude
toward classes and the types of
out-of-class assignments that
would be required for the course.
According to Steve Cates, SGA
director of Faculty-Student Rela­tions,
the SGA will now present
the results to Curt Peterson, pres­ident
of the faculty senate for a
"give and take" session on what
needs to be done next and to work
out some of the specifics of the
proposal.
The inclusion of information
regarding the personalities of
instructors, for example, may be
too subjective to be included in
the written evaluation.
Once the proposal has been
ironed out by student and faculty
members, it will be submitted to
the full faculty senate for their
approval. If approved, the first
evaluation could take place at the
end of winter quarter.
Declining interest rates
boost Auburn housing
By Irene Trowbridge
News Staff
Lowering interest rates
sparked the construction of 356
apartment units in Auburn this
year.
According to Clyde Prather,
director of planning and codes,
most of the construction of these
apartments is aimed for student
use. Lowering interest rates
made this year especially attrac­tive
to realtors intending to build.
Although all of the newly built
apartments are now filled,
Prather doesn't believe that this
is a reaction to a housing shor­tage.
Students have many hous­ing
opportunities both on and off
campus. Most students, however,
want to move to newer or better
furnished apartments, upgrad­ing
their present status.
Henry Thornton, of Little
Henry Realtors, claims that the
owners of less desirable apart­ments
will suffer most because of
new housing developments in
Auburn. Owners of older apart­ments
will be forced to refurnish
and upgrade existing apartments
in order to compete with newer
units.

Prather says that there are no
plans to build more housing on
Auburn University campus, but
expansion off campus is
expected.
One problem that realtors face,
according to Prather, is the
hazards of building for a housing
industry that is not constant. As
the number of students enrolled
in school fluctuates, so does the
number of students needing
housing. Many realtors are now
getting a year lease from stu­dents.
This is not favorable to
students not attending school in
the summer, so many students
prefer on-campus housing. How­ever,
only 4,000 students can
recieve on-campus housing. This
leaves about 14,000 students
needing some form of housing
off-campus.
The number of existing apart­ments
and rental areas in the city
is not known, but rooms can still be
found for students in need of
housing.

SGA's lobby for student voting r waido Peppers
By Nancy Blancato
News Staff
A coalition of SGA presidents
from Auburn and other four year
schools in Alabama is working to
secure better voting rights for
students.
Cory Thomas, Director of Leg­islative
Relations for Auburn's
SGA, said college students are
having difficulty registering to
vote and getting absentee ballots.
Another problem is "polling
booths aren't readily available to
students. Especially the students
who live on campus and don't
have adequate transportation."
Last spring quarter, Thomas,
SGA president David Herrick
and a few other SGA members
made a courtesy call to Montgo­mery.
"We went to see people that
are friends of Auburn and to see
our r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s , " said
Thomas.
According to Thomas, the coa­lition
of 15 presidents go before
the legislature, not to voice grie­vances,
but say these are the
things that we're interested in."
The purpose of the coalition is
"to make it easier for students to
vote," Thomas said.
He explained, "Across the state
there's a problem. People in the
city where the school is feel the
students are just transient citi­zens,
they're only there for four
years.
So it's difficult for students to
even register, which is their con­stitutional
right.
The Secretary of State has been
working for a few years trying to
get certified Deputy Registrars
appointed, whether he be the
SGA president or a designate of
the president," Thomas said.
This would "make it easier, so
any time a student wanted to reg­ister
he could go see this person."
Another good thing about this
coalition is that problems that
Alabama or Auburn might be
having, Montevallo or South
Alabama might have already
solved in their particular area.
We'll be able to draw on the
resources of other schools to help
solve our own problems."
He added/'We'll also be able to
show a common front, because if
you get 15 SGA's together repres­enting
15 four-year schools,
that's a lot of votes in the state.
The legislature is going to have to
see us as a viable organization."
The coalition has already met
twice, but without full represen­tation
because "it's hard setting
up a schedule where all 15 SGA
presidents can be there," Thomas
said.
"The ideals there, the ground­work
is laid and the enthusiasm
is there for those who are partici­pating.
We're just waiting for
everyone to get a chance to get
together." The next meeting is
planned for November 10.
Thomas and his assistants on
the Legislative Relations Com­mittee,
Danny Wilson and Steve
French, are currently trying to
form a student lobby committee.
This committee will include 70
currently enrolled Auburn stu­dents
from each of Alabama's 35
districts, Thomas said. "Ideally,
we just want two from each area.
We may take a few extra from
Birmingham or Madison County
or Mobile, the larger areas."
Thomas said, "We want the
students to get active in the cam­paigns.
Politicians are impressed
by the fact that somebody comes
up asking to help. For example, a
student might call and say 'I'm
from Auburn. I have some spare
time. I'd like to see you reelected
or elected. Can I do something for
you on Saturday afternoon?'"

Jet'* 7*£6 /46ottt ViOMumeU...
If you plan to give a diamond this spring, now is the time for you to invest a little of your time in learning a
few basic facts regarding diamonds. Unless you have more money than time, you can hardly afford the
luxury of buying a diamond without an understanding of diamond grading and pricing.
For THIRTY—THREE years Ware's Loose Diamond System has proven itself as an ideal way to make
one's diamond investment do its utmost to give the finest, most beautiful diamond possible in a given
price range.
How does it operate? We are Registered Jewelers of the American Gem Society. We not only have all
AGS equipment needed to accurately grade and weigh each diamond...our business has been built on
always giving the customer the time needed to assure they understand what makes each diamond
different...and why there are so many different prices, for the same weight diamond. First you need a
trained jeweler, second you need a jeweler willing to give you as much time as you will give him, so that
you do properly understand how different diamonds can be. We think we can qualify on both counts. We
are trained...trained to accurately grade every diamond...and it is our absolute policy to never have a
customer that will ever feel rushed in any way.
What about Ware's prices. Whenever we sell a diamond we give a certificate of registration...giving each
customer a guarantee as to color, perfection, cut and weight. Totalling all certificates for 1983 we found
we had sold customers from 129 cities, in 21 states a diamond in this one year. There were 38 from
Birmingham, 31 from Montgomery, 12 from Mobile and also 16 from Atlanta...do you think they would
have purchased their diamond from Ware's if they could have done better elsewhere?
What about the ring itself? Because the diamond represents the largest part of the total investment... we
think the selection of the diamond is most important. Once you have selected a Ware's diamond (from
over 400 in all sizes and grades)...then the mounting selection is the most important. Why not select a
diamond from a jeweler that can offer you all the leading designs for mounting not just the basic few
standard styles. Ware represents the nation's leading style lines...Orange Blossom, Art Carved, Daina,
Jabel, Advance. Ware offers a jewelry manufacturing department in both stores that is unequaled in
Alabama...designers, diamond setters, jewelry manufacturers, hand engravers...all are on Ware's staff.
The entire "tailor made ring" can be done for you in either store...Uptown Auburn or Village
Mall...exactly as you "design" your own ring.
This is your invitation to talk to the trained experts at Ware's. It may be the best time investment you ever
make.

Former social center
Coeds courted in Cater 'mushrooms'
By Susan Goodwin
Features Staff
Strolling" by Cater Hall on
Thach Avenue, most students
give nothing more than a glance
to the elegant white-columned
heritage building. Cater Hall, in
the midst of red brick buildings,
is the only one that does not con­form
to the average Auburn
architecture.
Cater Hall was first a home for
Auburn's presidents. It was
designed and constructed for
$17,000 by Joseph Hudnet in
1915. Dr. Charles Coleman
Thach (1902-19) was the first
president to make the building
his home. Thach wanted the
house to be ready in time for his
daughter, Bessie, to have her
baby there. To his pleasure, the
president's home was built in
time for Nellie Thach Curtis'
birth.
Successive presidents residing
in the building on Thach Avenue
were Dr. Spright Dowell (1920-
28), Dr. Bradford Knapp (1928-32)
and Dr. Luther Noble Duncan
(1935-47).Duncan moved to the
present president's home at Sam-ford
Avenue andCollege Street in
1938.
Since 1938, Cater Hall has
served as home and office for
deans of women and various
members of their staff. In 1940,
with the completion of the Quad
dorms, it was remodeled as a
Social Center at which time Rosa
Lee Watson, then Dean of
Women, moved in the upstairs
living quarters. Dean Marion
Spidle, who became Dean of
Women in 1942, also lived at the
Social Center.
At each end of the building
were dating parlors—little cubi­cles
without doors which the stu­dents
referred to as "mush­rooms"
where the girls could
entertain their dates.

Woodall services today
James Raymond Woodall, who
was a professor of English at
Auburn University, died Oct. 13
and memorial services will be
held today, Oct. 20, at 4 p.m., at
the First Presbyterian Church of
Auburn.
Woodall joined the AU faculty
in 1952, following his graduation
from Vanderbilt University with
the doctor of philosophy degree.
A native of Kentucky, he held the
master of arts degree from the
Universtiy of Kentucky and the
bachelor of science degree from
Murray State College.
Active in the department of
English, Woodall served as
chairman of the department of
library committee and the
Freshman English committee.
He was also chairman of the
Freshman English Section of the
South Atlantic Modern Lan­guage
Association, on the board
of directors of the National
Council of Teachers of English
and served as president of the

was chosen to speak at the
twelfth annual meeting because
of his outstanding contributions
in his field.

In addition to numerous pro­fessional
papers, Woodall was
the instructor of "The Two R's,"
one of the first course/programs
on the Alabama Educational
Television Network in sthe '60s.
He subsequently wrote "A Tele­vision
Course in Pre-College Eng­lish:
The Two R's," and later,
"The Writer and His Reader,"
and the 1964 Auburn University
Faculty Handbook.
Survivors include three daugh­ters,
Jean Woodall Dunham of
Atlanta, Ann Gilmore Woodall of
Auburn and Faye Woodall Pea-bey
of Emporia, Kan., and one
brother, the Rev. Charles Woo­dall
of Memphis.
Memorial contributions may
be made to the Presbyterian
Community Ministries, accord­ing
to the Rev. Coy Franklin, who
will officiate at the service. Woo­dall
and his late wife, Frances,
were active members of the First
Presbyterian Church of Auburn,
where he served as elder.
The Social Center seemed to
blossom when Katharine Cooper
Cater became Dean of Women in
1946. As both her home and
office, it has been the setting for
countless teas, receptions, meet­ings
and student parties. Dean
Cater had receptions for senior
women each spring and fall.
In 1976, Dean Cater became
Dean of Student Life and Social
Director. The role of women
changed at Auburn. They could
live off campus and curfews and
dress codes were abolished.
During her term at Auburn,
Dean Cater contributed to new
programs, interdisciplinary stu­dies
and research related to and
interacting with national goals
and priorities.
She was awarded Alumna of
the Year by her alma mater,
Auburn's Algernon Sydney Sul­livan
Award and Administrator
of the Year by the Association of
Alabama College Administra­tors.
Just six days after Ralph
(Shug) Jordan died, Katharine
Cooper Cater succumbed to a
lengthy illness of cancer. On Fri­day,
April 25, 1980, the Social
Center was dedicated to Dean
Cater. She died three months
later on July 23 at the age of 65.
The two-story mansion pres­ently
serves as the office of the
Dean of Students and her staff.
Dr. Pat Barnes says it is a "spe­cial
kind of feeling to come into
Cater Hall." She says it gives
students a feeling of warmth and
friendliness, of coming into one's
home, which is what she trys to
convey in her position as the
Dean of Students.
The white-columned circular
drive is a compliment to Cater
Hall's spacious interior. Its wide
entry, with formal rooms on
either side, leads to double stair­ways
and the second floor. The
original elegance of 1915 is still
there, reminding students of its
proud Auburn heritage.

Typists sue pharmacy student
By Jeff Charnock
Research Editor
Last Thursday a suit filed
against an Auburn pharmacy
student came to a close with the
plaintiff, Wordpower, a local typ­ing
company, winning the
judge's decision.
Betty Buford and Pat Wade,
partners in the typing company,
took fifth-year pharmacy student
Lynda Whitt to small claims
court in Opelika because she
refused to pay for an outline that
Wordpower typed for her.
The dispute arose from an inci­dent
which occurred this past
summer quarter. Whitt con­tracted
Wordpower to type a 15-20
page outline for one of her phar­macy
classes which, according to
Whitt, was one of the most impor­tant
projects a pharmacy student
has to do at Auburn.
Wordpower's charges were that
Whitt had failed to pick up and
pay for the final copy of the out­line
in question and therefore
they said they felt they had no
other recourse but to sue for the
$38 Whitt owed them.
Whitt said she thought there
was more to it than just her ref­usal
to pay. She said Wordpower
failed to live up to its end of the
initial agreement because they
did not complete the paper at the
originally agreed upon time and
they charged more for the paper
than they quoted over the phone.
Wade added that Whitt must have
been mistaken about the prices
they had quoted her, although
they did say they had recently
raised their prices to remain

As for Whitt's charge that the
paper was not ready at the speci­fied
time, Wade said that they
had agreed to have it ready on
either one of two days; Tuesday,
Aug. 2 at 5 p.m. or Wednesday,
Aug. 3 at noon. Whitt came on the
Tuesday mentioned, the day she
said Wordpower told her the
paper would be done, and found
Buford and Wade still typing her
outline into their display
terminal.
Whitt said that the three of
therrvbegan going over the paper
and making corrections. She
added that the two women were
making remarks to the effect that
they didn't care about the quality
of the paper and that it "didn't
have to be perfect anyway."
Buford responded to that
statement by saying that she
may have made some remarks
that could have been taken as
insulting, but she added that they
had been working since early
that morning and were very tired.
After the three had finished
going over the rough draft, they
gave Whitt a copy. Again, correc­tions
were made and Whitt was
told that a final copy would be
ready the next morning at about
8:00. Wade and Buford said that
Whitt never showed up to pick up
that final copy.
After repeated attempts to
reach Whitt, Wade and Buford
decided to contact the assistant
dean of the Pharmacy school,
Charles Darling. Buford said she
told Darling about Whitt's
actions and asked him for the
addresses of the state and-national
licensing boards for
pharmacists in an attempt to get
Whitt to pay for the paper.
Whitt said that she still
intended to pay for the paper
until she found out that Word-power
had notified Darling and
asked for the addresses of the
licensing boards.
Wade and Buford said they
hadn't even considered small
claims court until the idea was
mentioned to them. They then
pursued that course of action and
won their case last Thursday.
Whitt was ordered to pay $38 for
Wordpower's services and $22 in
court costs.

Auburn OCA was Bama idea
By Gwen Wilson
News Staff
Before fall quarter 1970, sev­eral
Auburn students from the
SGA went to Tuscaloosa to learn
about a newly formed organiza­tion
at the University of Ala­bama
that aided students living
off campus with utility deposits.
They returned to Auburn armed
with a proposal and contracts
that would become the Off-
Campus Association (OCA).
A time of transition, 1970 saw
the first female students living
off campus, with parental per­mission.
Junior coeds were to fol­low
in the Fall of '71. Students
were then paying approximately
Buildings -
building and Jordan-Hare Sta­dium.
The land has been cleared,
and foundation is now being
excavated.
The building is to consist of
43,000 square feet. There will be
classrooms and vocational shops
within the structure and a park
will be developed next to the site.
The Veterinary School is to
have two major additions, the
Scott Ritchie Complex and the
Overton Auditorium-Goodwin
Office Complex. The latter will
include an administrative suite
and a lounge for students.
The Ralph Brown Draughon
library is slated for a 200,000
Asbestos —
Skipper said only certain types
of asbestos are involved in the
disease process, and that usually
only those people who have been
exposed to tremendous amounts
of the substance are effected.
Martin S. Rutstein of the Geol­ogy
Department at New York
College, said most people would
probably die of some other cause
before the effects of low-level,
non-occupational exposures to
asbestos might induce disease.
He said low-level exposure might
cause some lung scarring, but
would not necessarily cause dis­ease,
asbestosis.
Also, Rutstein said, asbestosis
has not been shown to directly
cause lung cancer, although the
disease? often do occur together.
In a speech by John P. Mas-co'jte,
President of Continental
Corporation, he said "Asbestos-related
disease, one of technol­ogy's
unfortunate side effects, is
a medical, social and economic
problem of far-reaching conse­quences
that has been coming-on
quietly for over thirty years. It
takes decades for the disease to
manifest itself."
Rutstein said, "It could take
only one fiber interacting with
one cell to spark development of a
malignant cancer, but the unlike­lihood
of it actually causing a
biochemical reaction is absurdly
unlikely." If several million fib­ers
were inhaled, most would not
penetrate deeply into the lungs,
but would be removed by the
exhalation and mucociliary
escalator process, he said.
Rutstein also said we should
look at back ground fiber levels of
asbestos as well as other causes
of disease. "Smoking clearly
seems to be a killer, but tobacco
cultivation is still supported by
the government and smoking is
accepted as a social and private
privilege." He said asbestos
exposure alone is a lot less dan­gerous
than tobacco and asbestos
together.
$40 for a phone deposit, $85 a
month for a two bedroom apart­ment
and 99$ a pound for steak.
The SGA students took their
proposal to Alabama Power
Company. Ed Thrash, currently
the County Manager of Alabama
Power, was present during the
original talks, "The students
came to us first. They thought
we'd get most of the business and
if we didn't like the idea, then
probably no utilities would. They
told us how they expected the
organization to function and it
sounded like a good idea."
Thrash continued, "The early
70 s were rough years for the stu­dents.
Some of them felt they'd
been taken advantage of by peo­ple
in the local community. The
OCA idea seemed to provide stu­dents
with an alternative."
To avoid legal difficulties, the
SGA students involved split from
the SGA and incorporated them­selves
under the name Student
Services, Inc., with OCA as their
first branch organization.
Representatives from Ala­bama
Power and the students of
OCA negotiated the first contract
across a table, tearing apart the
University of Alabama's con­tract
and putting together their
own. They had copies of the con­tracts
made and each party sent a
copy to their respective lawyers.
On September 9, 1970, OCA and
square foot expansion within the
next few years. Tillman said that
the University is in the process of
putting together a program from
which the participating archi­tects
can work.
Several proposals are being
considered, including a possible
fifth floor addition. However,
according to Tillman, the plan­ning
for the library will remain in
the schematic stage for a while.
Other projects include renova­tions
of the Agricultural Engi­neering
Building, Sewell Hall,
and the Quad Cafeteria.
Plans have been drawn for the
Ag Engineering Building, and
bids for construction will be
continued from A-l
accepted this November with the
actual building beginning early
in 1984.
At Sewell Hall, the dining room
has been refinished; renovation
of the dormitory rooms will begin
shortly after football season.
The Quad Cafeteria is also
scheduled for renovation with
closure possibly occuring in the
winter of 1983. Tillman said that
the cafeteria would remain closed
until fall of 1984 when improve­ments
are completed.
Tillman said that there are
several more construction pro­jects
in the early planning stages,
but he made no specific com­ments
in reference to them.
Carrington said, "We Ameri­cans
may have been precipitous
in our panic over the asbestos
problem, and we may be spend­ing
untold millions of dollars in
attempting to remove all asbes-continued
from A-l
tos from our environment in a
great 'overkill' program based
on incomplete data. We know
that tigers and lions are danger­ous,
but we shouldn't all be afraid
of all cats..."

the Alabama Power Company
signed the first contract. The stu­dents
prepared contracts with the
other utilities in a similar
manner, and OCA began taking
applications in the Fall of 1970.
Originally, dues were $4 per
person and paid one time only.
Student response was good, but
the bills were high and money
from new students alone was not
enough to cover costs, so the OCA
went to yearly contracts and
dues. Today dues are $20 and the
contract expires August 31 of
each year.
When the student pays $20 and
signs a contract with OCA, he
receives credit at the utility com­panies
for the $305-$365 in depos­its.
OCA uses the money to pay
the mortgage on the OCA offices,
the part-time student employees
and the secretary (nonstudent),
and bills to the utilities.
The utility companies agree
that OCA is beneficial to them as
well as the students. The students
save money and the utility com­panies
are guaranteed payment
of their bills. If a student does not
pay his bill, the utility company
will send a late notice and then
discontinue service. OCA pays
the bill for the student and then
collects from the student the
amount of the bill and a $5 ser­vice
charge. Because of difficul­ties
in the past with collecting
payment, OCA now refers unpaid
accounts to a collection agency in
Opelika. Soon OCA will begin to
take some people to small claims
court.
The OCA office is located at 116
Bragg St.

Baha'i's follow 1800s prophet
By David Benson
j Features Staff
"No contributions...please,"
says Dan Williams, chairman of
the Baha'i' club on campus.
The Baha'i' faith is based on
the teachings of Baha'u'ilah
(Glory of God), a prophet who
lived from 1817-1892. Baha'u'ilah
is the author of hundreds of
works that the Baha'i's believe to
have been inspired by God. Chief
among his major works is the
Kitab-i-Aqdas or the Most Holy
J Book. The Kitab-i-aqdas is the
' : repository of Baha'u'lah's laws
for the Baha'is.
"Just as a Christian follows
Christ or a Muslim follows
Muhammad, a Baha'i' follows
Bah'u'lah," says Williams. "All
were messengers from God."
The Baha'i's believe that
Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster,
Buddha, Jesus, Baha'u'lah and
Muhammed were all messengers
of God. As man progressed
socially a new messenger was
sent to instruct mankind in the
ways of God, says Williams.
Williams adds, "Religion with­out
science is superstition.
Science without religion is
materialism."
The Baha'is take their teach­ings
not only from tthe wo
