DRUG TALK
Capt. Downing explains the undercover drug investigation
Application cutoff
three months early
Auburn University admissions
officials report that a record
number of applicants has promp­ted
Auburn to stop accepting
applications for the fall 1985
freshman class at one of the ear­liest
dates in recent years.
Charles F. Reeder, director of
admissions, said his office
stopped accepting in-state stu­dent
applications for the fall
freshman class on March 18,
three months earlier than fresh­man
applications were cut off
last year. Out-of-state applica-
- tions this year were cut off in
February.
Reeder said all applications
received before the cut-off will be
processed as usual.
Limiting entering freshman to
about 3,000 is necessary to keep
enrollment down to a projected
19,100-up from the fall 1984 level
of 18,888-to insure that such basic
courses as math and English
don't become overcrowded, he
said.
Last year, Auburn accepted
5,500 students for the fall fresh­man
class, of which about 3,000
enrolled. About 5,300 already
have been accepted for this fall's
entering class. Admissions offi­cials
are reserving 200 slots for
academically talented students
with ACT scores of 25 or more
and qualified minority students.
Reeder said applications were
up 15 percent from a year ago
based on a reading taken in Feb­ruary.
A survey of 331 public and
private institutions across the
country in the April 10 issue of
the Chronicle of Higher Educa­tion
reported that applications
are up about 4 percent nation­wide
from last year.
Reeder attributed Auburn's
application grounds in part
to increased recruiting, statewide
exposure of programs and pro­gress
advocated by President
James E. Martin, and Auburn's
academic quality and diversity.
While he's pleased with
Auburn's popularity, Reeder said
he's concerned about the early
cut-off.
"We have some excellent stu­dents
that are qualified, but
won't be allowed to come,"
Reeder said. "We just don't have
the room."
But he said one consolation is
that the more conscientious stu­dents
apply early.
Meanwhile, Martin said he will
meet with admissions officials in
the coming months to discuss
measures that might be taken to
insure that the most qualified
students are allowed to enroll.
One such solution, Martin said,
is the possible raising of entrance
requirements. Efforts also con­tinue
to get more state funds to
support a larger student
enrollment.
Reeder said the cut-off does not
affect the 1,700 to 1,900 students
who are expected to transfer to
Auburn by next fall. He said their
applications will be accepted on
tbrough September. Reeder said
most transfer students take their
basic courses before coming to
Auburn, so overcrowding in that
category isn't a problem at this
time.

Thirty-seven people, including
20 Auburn students, were
arrested recently on a variety of
drug charges as the result of a
seven-month undercover investi­gation
by the Auburn Police
Department.
The drug bust was the second
most successful one in the history
of the department, said Capt. Ed
Downing, with $6,620 in
narcotics-related money and four
cars valued at $25,500 being
seized. The amount of drugs
seized during the investigation
will be announced when the sub­stances
are completely analyzed
by the forensics department.
The 37 people are charged with
a total of 71 drug counts ranging
from possession to trafficking of
marijuana, cocaine and LSD.
Downing said five of those
arrested were charged only with
misdemeanor possession and
would have to appear before
Auburn Municipal Court.
Most of the felony charges,
which include any second
offenses, all cocaine charges and
all charges of sale and traffick­ing,
were presented to the Spring
Grand Jury and indictments
were returned Monday, said
Downing. The arraignments for
these people are May 2.
Downing said that Sgt. Lynne
Carpenter, an eight-year veteran
of APD, conducted the under­cover
investigation that has been
on-going since October. After
infiltrating several drug "rings,"
she was joined by. narcotics
officer Sgt. Gary Black and both
officers purchased drugs from the
people charged. Downing said
the officers were generally
"wired" and the conversations of
the drug deals were taped.
Downing said it was interest­ing
that many of those arrested
spoke of the "Spring Roundup,"
as the semi-annual drug busts of
the department have been nick­named,
but they continued to
participate in the deals.
Downing also said that some of
the people arrested were later
used as informants. By giving
the police some information
about other drug deals, they may
be able to have their charges
reduced at the District Attorney's
approval.
"It's a tactic that is often used
in cases like this," said Downing.
Downing said at least four lev­els
of many local rings were
busted by the investigation and
that some ring leaders of smaller
rings and some traffickers in
town were arrested.
"We got some pretty good traf­fickers,"
said Downing, "but we
didn't get the 'godfather'."
Downing said most of the
drugs involved, which include a
high-grade cocaine and Sensimil-lion,
a high-grade domestic mari­juana,
have been traced back to
cities such as Birmingham,
Atlanta, Columbus, Panama
City and Mobile. The captain
added that any information they
have on the drug deals will be
passed on to the police depart­ments
in those cities.
Most of the people arrested are of LSD around this area recently.
now out of jail on bonds ranging
from $500 for misdemeanor pos­session
up to $25,000 for traffick­ing
charges, said Downing. He
added that many were first-time
offenders who would probably
"get off' without having to serve
time in jail.
The penalty for the felony pos­session
and sale charges is a pos­sible
sentence of two to 15 years.
The penalty for the trafficking
charges is a minimum sentence
of three years and fines from
$25,000 and up.
Downing said $1,939.50 was
used by the investigators to pur­chase
drugs, a majority of which
will be recovered through restitu­tion.
In addition, $7,565 was used
in "buy bust" transactions, but
was recovered shortly after the
purchase of the drugs. The Dis­trict
Attorney's office and the
APD Narcotics office provided
funds for the operation.
Four people were charged with
trafficking of cocaine, the most
severe of the 71 charges. They
are: Eron Bernard Ingle III, 23,
Rt. 1, Box 49, Auburn; Sharon
Tondra Morley, 19, and David
John Mullinax, 23, both of Apt.
25, Building 14, Tamarack

was arrested for two counts of
sale of LSD, two counts of side of
cocaine and three counts of sale
of marijuana. Downing said

Draft evader attacks government
By Lee Ann Landers
Copy Editor
On Dec. 6, 1984, three FBI agents came to Paul
Jacob's apartment in Little Rock, Ark., and
arrested him for refusing to register with the selec­tive
service.
Pi Sigma Alpha sponsored Jacob, indicated on
charges of draft dodging, to speak Tuesday night at
7:30. During his hour-long speech and quest­ion/
answer period Jacob expressed his feelings
toward the government and questioned its right to
require all males 18 years old and up to register for
the draft.
Jacob had avoided his 1982 indictment and
refused to submit to voluntary trial by going under­ground.
For more than a year, Jacob traveled
throughout the country doing what he calls resist­ance
work.
After making many young people aware that
they have more options than registration or prison,
Jacob moved back to Little Rock. There he lived
under his own name, only two blocks away from his
parents' house (where the FBI first launched their
search for him) for nearly a year.
But his marriage and the birth of his first child
were recorded with the local FBLand he was subse­quently
arrested. At the time of his arrest, Jacob,

Man of varied interests
Jeane studies burial grounds as hobby
Jeane
By Teresa Bailey
Features Staff
He has a doctorate in geo­graphy.
French and zesty, robust
Italian foods are his favorite
dishes to prepare, although this
gourmet's specialty is desserts.
He's a photographer at heart who
can't seem to explain to others
why he takes pictures of cement
plants. Dr. Gregory Jeane is a
well-rounded professor.
He has planned four trips to
Europe and has taken Auburn
students with him, and he travels
around the world studying
cemeteries.
Why would this dark-haired,
blue-eyed man with fatherly fea­tures
and such cultured tastes
desire to study burial grounds?
Jeane of the geography
department says, "The cemetery
is a sacred space that can't be vio­lated.
You can't plow a cemetery
under without^erious legal con­sequences.
A group of humans
moves into an area and organizes
space for agriculture, grazing
and water systems; they also set
aside sacred space to bury the
dead. It offers one of the oldest
and most permanent acts that
man does on earth."
Jeane has taught in Auburn
University's geography depart­ment
for more than 10 years. He
was inspired to study cemeteries
by Dr. Fred Kniffen, dean of
American Settlement Geography
at LSU, where Jeane received his
bachelor's degree and his
doctorate.
"I was honored to sit in on his
graduate seminars when I was
an undergraduate. Dr. Kniffen
talked about how little studying
had been done on cemeteries. He
said that more misinformation
about cemeteries had been deve­loped
than authentic research.
Once I got into this field, I saw
there was more to this sacred
space than meets the eye," said
Jeane.
Before his interest in cemeter­ies,
he said he took an attitude
toward burial grounds as an "if
you've seen one, you've seen them
all." But there is a tremendous
variety of graveyards.
"Among the best known ceme­teries
anywhere in the world are
the ones in New Orleans, La.
There is much misinformation
offered, such as the belief that
New Orleans' graveyards are
above ground because the water
is so high; therefore, you can't
bury underground. This is not
true. This design is a cultural
trait from France and some of the
same (French) people actually
settled in New Orleans and built
cemeteries as they had seen in
France,"
said Jeane, a native of De Bidder,
La.
Jeane said that in Louisiana,
where the ground is so wet and
spongy, there are graveyards
with graves underground. "It's
not like the coffin's going to pop
out. This blows the water table
theory, especially because today
there is a vault which self-contains
the coffin," said Jeane.
He is now writing a book on
cemeteries located in the south­ern
United States including Ala­bama,
Georgia, east Tennessee,
the Carolines and the Florida
panhandle.
The cemeteries in his book are
located on hilltops. They are
bare, and the graves are sur­rounded
by cedar trees, some-

'Beach' closing
for renovation,
students moving
By Rhonda Goode
Assistant News Editor
Alumni Hall, the men's dorm
on College Street, will be con­verted
into faculty and staff offi­ces
next quarter, Director of Aux­iliary
Enterprises Warren Myers
said.
The change is being made
because some newly developed
programs require more office
space, and Alumni Hall is the
most likely space for the purpose
since it is not located in a housing
complex like the Quad or Hill
dorms, Myers said.
Chris Maynard, a resident of
Alumni Hall (or Alumni Beach as
it is nicknamed), said, "I don't see
why they need to change the
building to office space; every­where
you look there are offices.
But it's not that they asked us to
move that bothers me; my major
gripe is the way they did it.
"We had no idea until Friday
that we'd have to move. Fall
quarter (the University) let us
have new carpet, furniture, paint
and a kitchen (which we worked
hard to install), and we had it
OK'd to get a pool table last quar­ter
and a basketball goal this
quarter.
"They must have made the
decision in like the last week,
because they let us fix up the .
place and now they're going to
tear it all down. It seems like a big
expensive waste. We thought of
getting up a petition, but if the
three fraternities they're tearing
down for the convention center
couldn't change anything, we
figured we couldn't either."

Like father, like son, Stein installed in office
By Beth Hughes
News Editor
Every father dreams of having
his son follow in his footsteps,
and that's exactly what John
Stein will be doing next week
when he is installed as SGA pres­ident
for 1985-86.
Stein won the SGA presidential
election last Wednesday by a slim
margin and has already begun
taking control of his office, an
office held by his father in 1961.
In an interview with the
Plainsman, Stein outlined some
of his priorities for the next year
and elaborated on his campaign
promises.

President Ronald Reagan is
asking for $14 million for guer­rillas
battling Nicaragua's lef­tist
government. Reagan says
that a vote against this prop­osal
is a vote against peace. The
president met with Costa Rica's
president and members of
Washington's foriegn policy
establishment and delivered an
address to a new organization
designed to help Nicaraguan
refugees.
In effort to stop the fighting
that has claimed more than 80
lives in 18 days, Lebanon has
sent reinforcement troops to
Sidon. Thirty armored person­nel
carriers and 150 soldiers
have been sent to bolster the
army garrison. A four-party
security committee represent­ing
the civil war militias, and
the army is reported to be
arranging the final deployment
of the reinforcements.
Reagan probably won't can­cel
his proposed trip to a Ger­man
millitary cemetery, but
I may add a visit to a former Nazi
concentration camp to his
: agenda.

Q: What will be your first
priority as SGA president?
A: Setting up the cabinet for
next year is my first priority. I
. will be holding interviews for
cabinet positions Monday
through Thursday, and I hope to
post the results by the following
Monday(April 29). I am now
reviewing the responsibilities
and evaluating the jobs of each
cabinet member to decide if we
need to eliminate some positions
or create some new ones for next
year.
After the cabinet is appointed, I
will appoint the University
Committees. These interviews
will begin during the week that
the cabinet positions are posted.
I plan to put a good deal of
thought into choosing the people
to fill these positions. I want to
choose students that are inter­ested
in getting involved and
people that will provide good
input that can be taken seriously.
Q: What do you feel is your
most important duty as SGA
president?
A: My main duty, the thing I
want to look back on next year as
an accomplishment, is to act as a
liaison between the students,
faculty and administration. I
plan to bring the three groups
together and increase coopera­tion
among them to work for the
goals and the good of Auburn. I
want to promote an awareness
among them of the situations
that each of the other groups face
and the ideas, thought and input
that each group can offer.
Q: In a recent SGA survey,
students complained that
they were not aware of what
the SGA did and accomp­lished
each year. How do you
plan to increase awareness
among the students?
A: I plan to bring back the SGA
newsletter. There was one several
years ago, but for some reason it
was discontinued. I seems like a
good idea because we have plenty
of activities to put in it and plenty
of things to make the students
aware of the opportunities avail­able
for them at Auburn through
the SGA. I would like to see it dis­tributed
in classrooms and dorms
because it would serve to increase
publicity for the SGA and help
keep the students more informed.
Q: Voter turnout was only
26 percent this year. Do you
think students are apathetic
about the SGA?
A: Students are apathetic
about the SGA. I know everyone
has said this, but it is true that
each student who pays his stu­dent
activity fees is a part of the
SGA. I want to get more of
these students involved and
make them aware of what their
student government can offer
them.
One of my goals is to see an
increase in voter turnout next
year. Twenty-six percent is
unfortunate. Next year I would
like to see 40 percent of the stu­dent
body voting. I am going
work with the Director of Elec­tions
to improve the election pro­cess
because there are some
things that can be improved. I
think that a lot of people who are
not involved in SGA are bothered
by campaigns, and that may pre­vent
them from voting. I want to
change this feeling about the
elections.
Q: The SGA has been critic­ized
in the past for appealing
mainly to one group of stu­dents,
especially the Greeks.
Do you have any plans for
involving other students such
as independents and minori­ties
in SGA?
A: I am going to work with the
Director of Volunteers to look at
ways to reach groups that these
students are involved in. We will
have to get communication out
through their different groups
because it would be impossible to
knock on doors to solicit support.
Minority students will be reached
through the Director of Interna­tional
Students.
My door is open to any student
who wants to become an active of
the SGA. The University Com­mittees
andCabinet positions are
open to all who want to fill out an
application and interview for the
job and anyone who wishes can
be an administrative aid at any
time.

KA parade proves uneventful
By Bryan Crowson
Assistant News Editor
Despite a long-running con­troversy,
a large crowd and close
media coverage, the Kappa
Alpha Old South Parade ended
anticlimactically Friday without
incident.
There were reports that Ku
Klux Klansmen might be attend­ing
the parade, but if they did
they did not make their presence
known.
Although AU President James
Martin, a former KA, had
instructed the fraternity not to fly
the large Confederate flag, it was
carried horizontally during the
parade. The flag is traditionally
displayed in front of their house
on College Street located on Uni­versity
property.
"By carrying the flag, they
were not in violation of Univer­sity
policy," said Grant Davis,
assistant dean of students. The
policy is that organizations can
fly only a five by seven-foot flag
from a pole on University prop­erty,
he said.
Tracy Moore, one of several
Black Student Action Committee
(BSAC) members who attended
the parade, said she thought the
parade was "mindless" and that
she did not see any reason for its
existence. She added that the
large flag the KAs carried did not
bother her because there were so
many other Confederate flags
there.
KA President Walter Price said
the fraternity members "behaved
better because people realized
what was at stake" and that the
affair had been "overblown."
After the KAs returned to the
front lawn of their house with the
giant flag and posed with it for a '
photographer on the roof, one
member, in seeming defiance of
the protests against the flag, was
heard to shout, "It looks like the
South won this one."
Price said the main difference
between this year's parade and
previous ones was that there was
no "secession" speech made,
which is traditionally given to re-enact
the South's secession from
the Union, because the KAs'
national officers advise against
it.

Auburn-style World's Fair exhibited
By Allison Smith
Features Staff
Auburn University, like the
United States, is a melting pot of
different people, cultures and
languages. The first AU World's
Fair held April 13 in Haley
Center allowed students and
faculty to experience the wide
varieties of culture here at
Auburn.
The fair consisted of displays
from several countries, the Peace
Corps and the East Creek Indian
nation. Books, posters, slides and
other artifacts from Mexico, Rus­sia,
Taiwan, Puerto Rico, Ger­many,
Spain, Austria, Switzer­land
and Italy were exhibited. An
aquarium offish from around the
world was contributed by the
Auburn University fisheries, and
the Peace Corps offered informa­tion
about its work and recruit­ing.
The East Creek Indian
nation displayed examples of
handicrafts. The displays were
provided by international and
foreign language students.
Each exhibit had some unique
quality separating it from the
Others and emphasizing cultural
differences. For example, the
Germanic display included fine
china and crystal. Taiwan's
exhibit, sponsored by the Chi­nese
Student Association, fea­tured
colorful Chinese costumes
in yellow, red, blue and pink.
"These costumes represent dif­ferent
positions in different dyn­asties,"
explained a student clad
in bright yellow, "mine is a prime
minister's."
Many of the displays offered
samples of native foods. Mexican
tostadas with beans, sour cream
and guacamole were popular
with the crowd as well as Chinese
fortune cookies. Russian pirogs,
flaky pastry filled with cheese or
meat, disappeared quickly, and
many people found they liked the
spinach pasta from the Italian
exhibit.
The entire event was coordi­nated
by Auburn University Spe­cial
Programs and the SGA
International Student Affairs
Committee. Auburn Lion's Club
granted money to help finance
the fair.
Deb Liddell of AU Special Pro­grams
said the fair had a "bigger
turnout than we thought." The
international event received a
positive response from both those
who attended and those involved.
"It is a good chance to share
and experience," said one
member of the Chinese Student
Association, "I want to show
Americans my culture."
Kevin Price, director of the
International Student Affairs
Committee, believes a campus
World's Fair is a "good medium
to meet people from other
countries."
Plans have already begun for
next year's fair. There will, how­ever,
be a few changes. The1 fair
will probably be held winter
quarter and might be held on a
weekday. Liddell says she would
like to expand the fair to include
other countries, pointing out that
there was no representation this
year from African, Arabic, or
Indian nationalities. Interna­tional
students need to be
encouraged to participate, but

One effective international
student organization is the Chi­nese
Student Association. Not
only does this group assist Chi­nese
students, but it also holds
other events for them like Chi­nese
holiday celebrations, said
Liddell.
Alex Lin, president of the Chi­nese
Student Association, is
pleased that Auburn University
is developing an active concern
for foreign students. He also
thinks the foreign student should
be invited "to get involved with
this program."
The purpose of AU Special
Programs is to organize pro­grams
and services for pre­viously
unrecognized groups, like
international students. The AU
World's Fair is just one step in
increasing campus awareness of
these students. The fair's suc­cess
will encourage the develop­ment
of other programs and
events promoting international

Concerts lacking
Over the years one of the main
controversies concerning enter­tainment
on campus is why we don't
have much big-name entertain­ment.
There are many reasons why
some top performers won't play in
Auburn including the UPC's limited
budget, the small size of the coli­seum
and performers playing the
nearby big cities may not want to
come here.
This fall we were fortunate to have
Chicago and we almost had Prince
this quarter, however, he quit tour­ing.
We also could have had
Madonna come in place of Prince
but now she won't be coming either.
The UPC could have booked
Madonna, however, the Student Life
Committee vetoed the decision to
bring her here saying she was too
risque. Ironic isn't it that this is the
same group who was willing to
bring Prince along with Sheila E.,
often called one of the most sexually
oriented tours in a long time.
More importantly, why does a
group like this have the power to
decide what is or is not good for our
moral character?
As students we are given the
responsibility of making our own
decisions and deciding how we plan
to spend our free time and whether
we want to see a concert that may be
too "risque".
A recent decision made by UPC
said that instead of bringing Satur­day
Night Live comedian Billy
Crystal, we will instead have
another return engagement of the
White Animals. While the White
Animals are probably one of the best
local bands we have around, they
can be found at local bars while a
comedian of Crystal's caliber rarely
visits the campus.
While there are many concrete
reasons why concerts and enter­tainers
cannot come to Auburn, bad
judgment should not be one of them.
Protect investments
Have you ever wondered what
your rights and protections are
when you make a bad purchase, the
car you had fixed still doesn't work
or your old roommate left without
paying the bills?
As college students, it is often
hard to know exactly what we can
do if we are ripped off or who to go to
to find out our alternatives.
But there are some steps we can
take without running up huge legal
bills or going through a lot of red
tape.
Some of the possibilities include
simply reading the Deceptive Trade
Practices Law, mailing a written
complaint to the.Attorney General's
Office of Consumer Protection or
seeking student legal advice from
the student legal advisor.
Most importantly, when making a
large purchase or having repair
work done, students should care­fully
file receipts to insure proper
documentation. Carefully reading
lease agreements will also help to
insure a better understanding of the
responsibilities of both the tenant
and the landlord.
' In order to make itself more
accessible, the Consumer Protection
Agency has a special address for
complaints and a special hotline
number which receives about 10,000
calls a year.
The agency cannot advise stu­dents
as to which businesses are
reputable or not, but once a problem
occurs it is a start for students who
wish to find out what kind of rights
they have and any recourse which
can be taken.
Drugs dangerous
Auburn City Police completed its
"Spring roundup" this week ending
in the arrests of 20 Auburn students
with the possibility of more in the
future.
After seven months of undercover
work, police arrested and charged
these students and others who now
face penalities ranging from 6
months to 25 years in jail along with
a hefty fine.
Spring has become a prime time
for police to crack down on drugs
and many students realize this. But,
most importantly students may not
realize are some of the long-range
implications that can accompany
them for a long time. As students,
their education may be directly
affected by the possibility of jail
term and can cause intense finan­cial
difficulties.
ADVERTISING
Campus Calendar is a service
of The Plainsman to announce activ­ities.
Announcements must be sub­mitted
on standard forms available
at The Plainsman office during regu­lar
business hours. Deadline is at 5
p.m. Monday.
When students take on the
responsibility of becoming inde­pendent
by attending college, they
also take on responsibility for their
lives and those around them.
The cases opposing drug abuse
are long and detailed and need no
further documentation.
One point Capt. Ed Downing
stressed when explaining the busts
was that while students expected
the busts, they never expected it to
happen to them-an excuse which is
not only ignorant but could prove
damaging.
The easiest and simplest way to
avoid the dire consequences that
accompany being arrested for drugs
is not to stop using them during
spring or even being more secretive
about it, but in avoiding drugs
altogether.

Television evangelists abuse power
Money can buy almost anything from
daily necessities to extravagent luxur­ies,
and maybe even happiness and love.
But today many try to convince us that it
may even be able to buy us salvation.
More and more television evangelists
have begun to dedicate much more of
their time and energy to seeking dona­tions
rather than what should be their
most important goal-spreading the
word of God.
It is becoming increasingly harder to
escape from these flamboyant preachers
who have infiltrated our airwaves with
styles ranging from down-home church
services to talk show-like entertainment.
While religion seems to be on' the
upswing in American society it seems
that television has turned it into mere
entertainment rather than personal
reflection and meditation.
While Christian networks have been
able to provide much good programming
for those who would like to spend their
time learning about their faith, there are
many times when religious programs
can be looked at as nothing other than
extravagant or hypocritical.
Shows on some Christian networks
use such antics as making game shows
out of Bible verses or trying to make
David Letterman-like talk shows to try
to get across the message. Perhaps even
these shows must compete in the Niel-son
ratings.
While these shows may be able to give
someone insight into their religion, the
greatest misuse of the power of the
media has been the enormous amount of
evangelists using airtime to solicit
funds. Of course many of these are in
desperate need of funding to stay afloat
and much of the money is going to
worthy causes, however, many of these
money hungry preachers have been
exposed as frauds and their misuse of
funds can only lead us to question their
motives.
It is not unusual to see some evange­lists
devote an entire show to disclaim­ing
"rumors" of embezzlement and tax
evasion and go as far to blame these
falsehoods on the government itself and
the liberal media.
PTL evangelist Jim Bakker went as
far as to show his viewers his tax
returns, pictures of his cars and his
house and assemble a panel of knowl­edgeable
professionals who proceeded to
blame Jim's problems on everyone from
his accountants to the biased press who
have followed his case.
Many of the Sunday morning church
services serve a definite need for those
who cannot make it to church for a
number of reasons and greatly benefit
from the shows. But now many of these1
services have donated far too much time
asking for money and some go as far as
telling the audience that the Lord has
even decided how much is needed. These
preachers are taking advantage of their
original purpose and reason for being on
the air in the first place. ; .
The fact that big money has taken its
place in religious television is no secret
and comes as no surprise especially
when scenes of the elaborate churches
and cities constructed by some evange­lists
are shown. The question herein lies,
just how much of the money they receive
goes to needy causes and how much goes
to the reupholstering some of the
antique furniture adorning the offices?
While many evangelists have credited
television for causing much of the moral
decay and chaos in today's society, these
same evangelists have used television to
degrade something that many hold as
the most sacred part of their lives-their
religion.
With elections over, what comes next?
Every year about this time, as the new \
SGA officers prepare to take their seats ,
for the coming year, one is reminded of
how lucky we are to live in a democratic !
university where a smooth, bloodless
transfer of the reins of power is possible.
We must never forget the terrible
chaos caused by the sham SGA elections
of the past, when corrupt SGA regimes
stuffed ballot boxes with the names of'
long-graduated students, when carpet­bag-
carrying fraternity organizers
herded witless, newly initiated Greeks
from one poll to another, when unfair
poll taxes and color-coordination liter­acy
tests were imposed to keep inde­pendents
from voting.
Under the corrupt regimes, student
money was wasted on palacial estates
for the officers and incessant, extrava­gant
parties. Finally, a disgruntled
ROTC student raised a following and
stormed Foy Union, riddling the plush
leather armchairs and the SGA officers
in them with machine gun bullets. As
the deep-pile carpet in the offices soaked
up the blood, the new ROTC junta took
over WEGL and announced the
takeover.
Finally, when the junta members all
graduated, level-headed students
decided the violence had to end. Fair,
democratic elections like we know today
began so responsible officials could be
put in office, and we should never forget
the sacrifices that many students made
before that could happen.
Now, the lame ducks are quacking
their last and the new administration is
gathering its skirts about itself, prepar­ing
to leap across the ditch of mundane-ness
into the busy street of student
government. We should celebrate our
wonderful system by rallying around
the new officials, showing our support
for them and reminding them that there
are only about 70 of them and about
19,000 of us (lest they become too cocky).
The new officers will have their work
cut out for them if they intend to equal
the stellar accomplishments their
predecessors claim to have made, but
since many of them are incumbents,
that shouldn't be too difficult.
For instance, the SGA began an effort
to purchase a vital "mace" to spare us
the disgrace of using a broom-handle at
University ceremonies.
The SGA also alleviated the toilsome
work-load of the Inter-Fraternity Coun­cil
by approving some 7,000 Greek par­ties,
as well as regulating the controver­sial
"fundraisers."
Speaking of Greeks, we should thank
and revere them more for the vital role
they play in our democracy. Because
candidates only campaign at frat
houses, the Greeks stay on top of the
issues in order to make intelligent deci­sions
on behalf of the uninformed inde­pendent
rabble.
Also, to insure that only well-informed
Greeks are able to get into office, they
have driven campaign costs so high that
, only Greeks, with their financial resour-
'. ces, can afford to bankroll candidates.
An independent would have to sell his
father's house to pay for enough public­ity
to win.
Despite the surprising demographics
of the voter turn-out (three of the five
students who actually voted were inde­pendents),
the SGA represents its Greek
constituency well, forming a grateful
kangaroo-court for Greek interests.
Appropriately, they are now considering
whether to change the title of the office
of Senator to Olympian. Likewise, "pres­ident"
would become "Zeus, The
Thunder Hurler."
The list of joint SGA-Greek accomp­lishments
is impressive, but one may get
the nagging feeling that the old, corrupt
elitist mentality is re-emerging and
becoming entrenched in the lofty Foy
Union offices. The SGA should
remember history, because the ROTC
guys still have guns.

Drug shouldn't provide answers for problems
I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
The drug is called MDMA, and from
what I know about it, I want some. Just
like Huey Lewis, I'm in search of the
ultimate pill.
Don't jump to conclusions and pre­judge
me as some kind of junkie. As far
as drugs are concerned, I'm probably the
most inexperienced person in North
America. At our house, we don't even use
Tylenol. But MDMA, or "Ecstacy" as it
is commonly known, could be a drug for
everyone, at least sometimes.
The drug has been compared with
LSD, since LSD was supposed to be the
drug to change the world when it
escaped from the laboratory in the 50s.
But MDMA isn't a hallucinogen. It
doesn't alter perceptions of reality and
fantasy or interfere with thinking. What
it has been credited with is the power to
make people trust one another, remove
jealousy from a situation and tear down
the barriers between people who care
about each other or are trying to com­municate
with each other.
Who wouldn't be glad to hear of a sub­stance
that can open the lines of emo­tional
contact between friends and lov-i
ers? People have a bad habit of hiding
from their feelings and from those
around them. "Ecstacy" could bridge
every perceived emotonal gap with an
understanding that we're all afraid to
attempt alone.
Of course, the drug isn't perfect. Kids
on the street have started using it, some-times
as much as 15 times a day in order
to get a high that is similar to an amphe­tamine
experience. Drug abuse clinics
have started seeing abusers of MDMA.
On some college campuses it has become
popular among those who believe it to be
an aphrodisiac.
But it isn't a party drug. It isn't some­thing
to take while watching football or
2001: A Space Odessey. Recreational
users say they take it with friends in
order to enhance communication. A few
psychiatrists are using it for therapy.
Dr. Lester Grinspoon, a professor of psy­chiatry
at Harvard Medical School, says
that the drug helps people get in touch
with feelings that are not ordinarily
accessible to them and recall things
from their past.
Other proponents of the drug give it
credit for helping people deal with fear
and accept facets of their life they can­not
change. Dr. George Greer did a small
study of the drug involving 29 patients
that found users to have higher self-esteem,
increased energy and less
chance of use of alcohol and other drugs.
Therapists using the drug have
reported almost no negative side effects
when the drug is used under supervision.
MDMA is probably bad for people with
circualtory problems or heart disease.
Many say that "Ecstacy" has a very low
potential for abuse. There are people
abusing the drug, however, and it is
obvious that some kind of control is
needed.
The Drug Enforcement Administra­tion
has proposed putting MDMA on the
list of "Schedule I" controlled substan­ces,
drugs with no accepted medical use
and a high abuse potential, like heroin
and LSD. Many therapists fear that this
would make the drug unavailable, even
for experimental or therapeutic use.
Some believe that if everyone in the
world used the drug, this would be a bet­ter
place. Some argue that it is harmful
and should be made illegal. Some have
said that its use in therapy could
accomplish in one session what might
take two years without it. One thing for
sure is that more tests are needed to see
what benefits MDMA offers and what
dangers it poses.
Whether its promises are concrete or!
fantasy is still undecided. The thought is
exciting, though, that a drug might exist.
which could break down the walls that
we fragile emotional humans erect
between us in order to mistakenly pro­tect
ourselves from such a dreadfully
perceived thing as the intimacy that
comes through true communication
between friends and lovers. The thought
is sad, too, that a drug would be needed
to provide a function that we should all
be carefully aware to preserve.

Products, people should
sell by good name only
When I was home for spring break and
Easter, I got to do something I haven't
done in a long time. I watched a lot of
TV.
It's sort of comforting to know that
somethings don't change. Daphne from
Scooby Doo hasn't changed her dress in
all the years the cartoon has been
running.
They got rid of poor Fred and Velma
and added some other thing that looks
like a dog's head that has sprouted legs,
but Daphne and Shaggy haven't
changed. I guess the animators always
knew mini skirts would come back in
style. Maybe bell sleeves and big scarves
will follow suit.
Another thing I noticed were the hal­lways
from schools in sit-coms. By look­ing
at the water fountain, lockers and
the classroom doors, I could swear
Spencer is going to the same school
today that Beaver Cleaver went to 30
years ago and the entire Brady clan
went to 15 years ago.
One thing has changed, though, and I
don't think it's for the better.
Commercials. More and more adver­tising
agencies seem to be pushing their
products by cutting down similar ones.
Burger King and Pepsi are the two
companies that really bugged me. It
seems to me that if a product isn't good
enough to be sold on its own merits, it
might as well be taken off the market
completely.
Breakfast sandwiches and colas are
pretty much the same, no matter what
name they go by or who is selling them.
Why can't Pepsi and Burger King stick
to selling their products and leave eve­rybody
else alone?
Maybe it is silly for me to get upset
over an archeologist holding up a Coke
bottle and a bunch of little kids who lose
all their charm when they start singing
a snide little diddy ragging McDonald's.
Maybe I shouldn't care and maybe no
one else cares.
I just feel like this might be a sign of
what our world is turning into, a world of
getting things the easy way, using
someone else's name at someone else's
expense.
We've all done it before. I know I have.
I went to small high school with two
sisters. We had a lot of the same teachers
and a lot of the same friends. By the time
I. graduated, I would answer to Pat or
Sam just as easily as I would answer to
Suzy.
It was very easy to fall into the habit of
saying, "Why, yes, I'm Sam Fleming's
younger sister. Yes I'm sure we're a lot
alike." Or, "Well, yes I'm Pat's older sis­ter.
You won't hold that against me, will
you?" Depending on who I was talking
to and what they thought about which
ever of my sisters, my attitude could go
either way.
I ended up being yearbook co-editor,
just like Sam, running on the track team
for three years because Pat did and
being band president because both of
them quit the band.
I wonder sometimes what I would
have been if my yearbook experience
had not lead me to major in journalism.
Now I may never know if I would have
been better at something else.
How many times have you said, "Why
yes, she is a good friend of mine," just to
impress someone? Or how many times
have you nodded your head saying,
"You know, he really gets on my nerves,
too."
So what does this have to do with
hamburgers and soft drinks? It just goes
to show that we are all guilty of borrow­ing
other peoples names for our own
benefit.
I guess I shouldn't be so hard on
Burger King and Pepsi. Seeing things I
don't like in other people seems to make
similar things about myself more
evident.
I just don't understand why people
can't be content to do their own work,
make their own names and not depend
on a pretty girl making sarcastic
remarks about McDonald's and shoving
hamburgers up peoples' noses.
Parade may be over but
issue remains unsettled
One hundred and twenty years ago
our country fought a Civil War—the
bloodiest war in our history. A quarter of
a million Confederate soldiers alone lost
their lives, and many others were
maimed. All the cliches about brother
fighting against brother are true. And
unlike other wars, we could blame no one
but ourselves.
But this war was a necessary war.
It marked the end of an agrarian
economy and the beginning of the
industrial nation that we have become.
It assured forever that the United States
would be an inseparable nation. It
settled crucial questions of state's rights
that had raged for years. And perhaps
most importantly, it marked the end of
the practice of slavery in the United
States; making us the last civilized
nation in the world to do so.
And yet we persist in celebrating our
part in this period of national disgrace.
There were many things to be admired
in the antebellum South, but the war in
which we fought to retain our status quo
was not one of them.
Friday afternoon I watched an entire
fraternity dress up in confederate uni­forms
and ride down College Street on
horseback shouting war cries against
the terrible "Yankees." A huge confed­erate
flag was paraded up and down the
street amid shouts of approval from the
crowd.
But did these people want to return to
the way of life that the original Confed­erates
were fighting for?
Of course not.
Most of them were out there only for
harmless fun—a chance to party-mixed
with a feeling of sectional pride
for the South. Let's face it; most of us just
don't identify with our neighbors to the
north and the idea of independence that
the Confederacy and it's flag embraced
has a strong appeal.
It is not only the KAs that perpetuate
the cause of the Confederacy, either. One
of the most popular items at beach gift
shops is still the Confederate flag. Many
of those who buy them consider them­selves
prejudiced toward blacks, but
they just claim the flag as a way of iden­tifying
with the South.
I realize that this issue has been
argued long enough, but it remains
unsettled, and there will be some level of
racial tension on campus until it is
resolved. I also realize that traditions
are not changed easily and if I were a
KA, I would probably also be fighting
any changes in the Old South parade.
But we must try and view this situation
objectively.
The fact remains that the celebration
of the Civil War is offensive to a large
portion of the population, and quite
frankly, it is not something of which we
as Southerners have a lot to be proud.
The name of the parade is "Old
South," but the thrust of it is the Confe­deracy.
It has been suggested that if
some other symbol of the antebellum
South could be glorified, there would
probably not be as much opposition. The
women have already achieved this, with
their traditional costumes. Maybe if all
the KAs could dress in old white suits,
drink mint juleps and have dogs named
Belvedere...after all, Robert E. Lee
wasn't always a general in the Civil
War.
I don't claim to have the answers, but
if each side could come to understand the
other's point of view, then steps toward a
fair solution, a compromise, could grad­ually
be made—without the need for
interference from ad hoc committees or
University officials. They often serve
only to promote the disunity that is
already present. It is not an easy prob­lem
to resolve, but the next parade is still
a year away and the pressure to settle
the issue is not as great.
Southerners have much to be proud
of—surely there must be something
more worthy of celebration than this
bloody, strife-ridden period of our
nation's history that many of us would
like to forget.

CEA needed to help fund education
Editor, the Plainsman:
The federal government needs to set
up something similar to an IRA, say a
CEA (College Education Account), to
give people an incentive to save money
for their children's college education.
This may not seem important for young
people today but in the future, as now,
parents will be looking for ways to
finance their children's education. The
future cost of an education is impossible
to determine, but if the cost is high, the
following steps could cushion the
burden.
Recommended steps:
1. Tax deductions for contribution to a
CEA.
2. No taxes on the disbursement of a
CEA as long as the student is passing
courses and working toward a degree.
3. Should some money be left in a CEA
after the degree is earned, the money
should be put into the parents IRA or an
IRA should be set up for the student.
End result:
1. More money available for
investment.
2. More people educated and better
able to contribute to society.
3. Less government taxes because of
an ease on the financial burden of
government-supported education.
4. More government money available
to the mentally-capable, not financially-able
person to obtain a college
education.

Editor, the Plainsman:
At the height of the controversy over
the Old South parade I happened to be
reading some manuscript letters written
by a man who was the epitome of the Old
South, Jefferson Davis. I was struck
with how little had changed in 119
years. Here was the same false opposi­tion
of the races, the same effort from
afar to disharmonize Southern society.
No one who has lived long in Auburn
could possibly take the frolicsome antics
of the Kappa Alphas seriously, and no
one who takes the Old South seriously
can fail to see that blacks and whites
working together made it what it was.
Jefferson Davis was replying to his
wife's description of chaotic conditions
in Georgia following the complete dis­ruption
of society in 1866. "Like you," he
said, "I feel sorry for the negroes, what
has been done would gradually and
measurably be corrected by the opera­tion
of the ordinary laws governing the
relation of labor to capital if they were
let alone. But interference by those who
have a theory to maintain by the manu­facture
of facts must result in evil, evil
only and continually. At every renewal
of the assertion that the Southern people
hate the negroes my surprise is renewed,
but a hostility not now or heretofore
existing between the races may be
engendered by just such influences as
are indicated....Interference by a third
party especially if prejudiced or ignor­ant,
might destroy the feeling which has
heretofore subsisted and generate
collisions...."
Mrs. Davis had expressed indignation
over a speech that "puts our people in the
attitude of oppressors of the blacks."
Among the men in her community, she
said, "unarmed as they are," there were
none "so lost to a sense of the obligations
of manhood" who would not, on the con­trary,
protect them from oppression. For
those who so misrepresented the South­ern
whites, Mr. Davis could only suggest
"that great and highly commended
virtue—charity." This recommendation
strikes with especial force coming from a
prison cell in Ft. Monroe, Virginia. Mr.
Davis was being held without charge in
solitary confinement—one of our coun­try's
few genuine political prisoners—
for having dared be President of the
Confederate States of America. Let us
hope that the South can again produce
leaders, both black and white, as calm
and judicious as he.

Moving adds financial problems...
Editor, The Plainsman:
Living in university housing always
provides different indicators as to what
time of the year it is. You always know
its summer because you don't hear from
the housing office at all. Thanksgiving
is quickly approaching because housing
always tells you that you have to stay
somewhere else over the long weekend.
Then at the end of the quarter they ask
you to leave as quickly as possible.
Well, last week I received my Red
Breasted Robin of Spring, the Housing
Application/Cancellation form for next
year. I routinely filled out the form and
handed it in Friday morning as
requested. Then later on that day the
worst tornado of spring hit the Auburn
area. I found in my mailbox a letter from
the Housing Office. The letter was a very
polite notification from Gail McCullers
that the Auburn University Adminis­tration
is closing Alumni Hall (alias, the
Beach) to use for their own purposes.
The building (my home for the past
three years) that I requested to stay in
next year will no longer exist. Not only
did I paint my own room and fix it up to
satisfy my needs, but I also helped paint
and carpet the halls and renovate the
roach-infested kitchen. Everyone at the
Beach helped to improve the building
and to give it some respectability. Now
we have to find somewhere else to live
and start over independent of each other
because a whirl wind is going to tear up
our new carpet, rip down the painted
walls and destroy the kitchen for
"administrative purposes."
I guess the University administration
didn't think through the consequences
of their actions. They didn't think about
the 85-100 guys who live in the Beach
because it is affordable. Nowhere else in
the Auburn area can you find a room
and utilities for $215.00 per quarter.
There is the Engineers'Dorm, but they
can't take on 85 engineer, business, vete­rinary,
architecture and other various
students from the Beach. We now have
to scrape together atleast $65 each to live
in a place like Magnolia Dorm which
has unneeded water-leaking air condi­tioners,
smaller rooms and a ball and
chain atmosphere. Many guys at the
Beach could use that money to eat three
meals a day for about a month. Now
what are they going to do, eat less?
I guess the administration has not
thought about the money housing has
put into the building either. Paint and
carpet are not exactly cheap. Not to
mention the cost of rewiring the fire
alarm. It is kind of funny that as soon as
the Beach's alarm system works, the
administration decides to take over the
building. Maybe Housing should have
installed an Administration Utilizing
Alarm System instead.
I just wish the Auburn University
Administration would reconsider their
decision. A lot of time and money has
been spent on the building, and a lot of
life and spirit is contained within the
confines of the walls. Why not use an
empty skeleton of building where no one
lives. Perhaps Bullard Hall where the
dust and cob webs are in residence. They
won't mind leaving because they can
stay in any dirty hole. I can't.

...Administration should enjoy dorm
Editor, th£ Plainsman:
I'm writing this letter to wish the
Auburn University administration
happiness in their newly-acquired build­ing,
Alumni Hall. I'm sure you will like
the newly painted and carpeted halls.
There is also a nice kitchen that was
remodeled this past year. Your new
building also has a basement that was
in the process of being changed into an
entertainment room. Perhaps you can
finish it and enjoy yourselves during
your breaks between kicking students
out of their rooms. A relaxing game of
pool after taking over a couple of frater­nity
houses. Or perhaps, watching a
soap opera after the acquirement of a
dorm.
And the location is just perfect for
your needs. You can always saunter over
to Burger King for lunch and maybe a
little Baskin Robbins ice cream for des­sert.
Then after work you can pop on
over to Super Foods to grab a six pack,
and then back across the street to Tiger
Tan to improve your complexion. And if
at any time during the day you should
spill something on your clothes, don't
worry-Village Coin Laundry is right
next to Super Foods.
As you can see this building meets
your needs better than it ever could for a
residence hall. I sure hope you enjoy the
building.

Shroud's phenomena fail to constitute belief
Editor, the Plainsman:
Oh boy! More evidence of divine
accomplishments. This time it's Bob
Murdaugh (Plainsman, April 11)
trotting out the case of the Shroud of
Turin as further evidence of that which
throughout history no real evidence has
ever been able to confirm. This inability
of evidence to confirm the existence of
some ill-defined supernatural thing
(which English-speaking mystics so
incisively call "God") should be of no
surprise. After all, lack of evidence of the
supernatural is hardly a cause for
concern among those who have deluded
themselves into believing that physical
(i.e., natural) creatures are able to
perform an amazing repertoire of tricks
such as turning water into wine, parting
bodies of water merely by the wave of a
wand, transforming human beings into
blocks of salt, and so on. But we must
admit that the most fantastic trick of all
is returning from the dead.
I don't want to question the consensus
of opinion that has emerged regarding
the facts about the physical nature of the
Shroud. However, I do want to make a
related point.
The shroud is a physical thing, and
the markings, cuts, and stains on the
Shroud are also phenomenal. It is incon­ceivable
that the mere existence of any
physical thing is able to constitute proof
of the ways or of the existence of the
supernatural. We may indeed be now
wholly ignorant of the natural processes
that generated the various markings
(and other attributes) of the Shroud, but
our own ignorance of such processes is
evidence only that men in some distant
past had access to natural processes and
materials that we, today, are unaware
of.
The mysteries of nature are all around
us, and the efforts of scientists to
uncover these mysteries are proceeding
apace; however, it is an unusually naive
scientist who believes that science will
one day provide man with anything
approaching "complete" understanding
of all that there is to be understood. But
it is important to realize that the fact
that man's universe is beyond the full
comprehension of the human intellect
should not be used as evidence that that
which remains outside of our current
realm of knowledge is ipso facto the
work of a deity, defined however you
please. It is even sillier to take all
phenomena for which men as rational
creatures currently have no well-accepted
explanation as evidence of the
existence of a deity or of supernatural
acts of a supernatural thing. The
existence of the supernatural simply
cannot be inferred from natural objects,
whether such objects take the form of
television sets, trees, shrouds, or
anything else our senses come into
contact with.

Roomies manage SGA rivals
By Denise Self and
Stacye Simmeraon
News Staff
Two roommates turned cam­paign
managers say that a har­monious
relationship can exist
despite election pressures.
As residents of a Tamarack
apartment, Jim Hancock, SGA
presidential campaign manager
for John Stein, and Forrest Col­lier,
SGA presidential campaign
manager for Bill Mathews, found
they were able to maintain a close'
friendship based on a decision
made fall quarter.
"I wouldn't have done it if I
hadn't talked to John (Stein) and
to Jim to say that I don't want
this to effect our friendship," said
Collier. He added that part of the
campaign is a "game" and that
"you just have to give it your
best."
"We joked about the elections a
lot," said Hancock.
To avoid some controversy,
and a lot of confusion during
campaigns, Collier installed an
additional phone line in the
apartment for Mathews' cam­paign.
In Collier's absense, Han­cock
often answered the
"Mathews Line" with the phrase
"Stein for president."
As the competition increased,
so did the pranks. Hancock des­cribed
a dishwashing incident in
which he reached for a paper
towel only to find it labeled
"Mathews for President." "I did
the same thing to his toilet
paper," said Hancock.
Collier continued the jokes by
placing a notebook entitled
"Mathews' Campaign Secrets"
in a conspicuous place. Hancock
pointed out, however, that he did
not fall for the trick which con­tained
the message "I caught
you—no cheating."
In retaliation, Hancock typed a
letter to President Reagan thank­ing
him for "his support and
endorsement." He jokingly
included in the letter that per­haps
"Nancy and Ronald should
not appear on TV saying that
they support Stein because Elec­tions
Board might get upset"
Hancock also left this message in
a noticeable place—tacked to Col­lier's
door.
Even on election night, when
the closeness of the race was
announced, both candidates
agreed that "every single
moment on the campaign was
worthwhile." Collier said, "It
(Mathews' defeat) was easy for
me to accept because we had done
everything we could possibly do."

Engineers participate in live satellite teleconference
By James Dotson
News Staff
The Auburn School of Engi­neering
participated in its first
- teleconference Monday in its new
video-based studio in Ramsay
Hall. The live satellite broadcast,
entitled "CAD/CAM: Impact
and Implications to Colleges of
Engineering," was hosted by the
American Society for Engineer­ing
Education, Southeastern Sec­tion,
Columbia.S.C.
The video-based studio was
built last spring and is used
primarily for taping and editing
of lectures by the Engineering
Outreach Program for use by off-campus
graduate students, but
also has the capability of two
way video teleconferences. Three
remote-control cameras in the
room provide complete video cov­erage
and allow the School of
Engineering to host conferences
as well as participate in them.
Monday's conference, which
concerned the impact of new
computer controlled design,
engineering and manufacturing
processes, was attended by engi­neering
professors and interested
representatives of local industry.
A telephone question and answer
period followed the live program,
but it was not televised.
CAD/CAM (computer aided
design/computer aided manu­facturing)
involves the new
developments in engineering
that allow the designer/engineer
to do all of three-dimensional
design work on die computer ter­minal,
where effects of changes
to the design can be studied with­out
having to go through tedious
drafting and prototype-testing
stages.
Auburn mayor Jan Dempsey
has declared Saturday, Apr. 20,
"Hunger Awareness Day" in
Auburn. This special day is a
continuation of "Doing Some­thing
About Hunger—Auburn
Style," an event lasting from
April 8-20 sponsored by the
Auburn Campus Ministers
Association.
"Running on Empty", a 5K
road race, is set for Saturday at 9
a.m. beginning at the Memorial
Coliseum parking lot and is
expected to draw $10,000 in sup­port
of the hungry in the poorest
nations. The money will be
channeled through World Con­cern,
a Christian relief agency,
sponsored by the Evangelical
Council on Financial Accounta­bility.
Auburn Christian Fellowship
minister Dean Collins says the
purpose of hunger awareness in
Auburn is three-fold, "to educate
people on the hunger issue; to
make people aware it's their
responsibility to do something
about hunger; to raise money to
go for the cause. We want Auburn
University to respond financially
through the road race."

Crisis Center volunteers learn to listen, care
By Patricia Vick
Features Staff
When away from home and
hometown activities, it's easy for
some students to feel useless.
Some have an actual need to help
others and feel wanted.
One Auburn freshman solved
this problem by becoming a Cri­sis
Center volunteer.
"I'm majoring in psychology,
and when my teacher mentioned
it, I decided to go and apply," the
volunteer said.
The Crisis Center of East Ala­bama
is a non-profit, all-volunteer
telephone listening
and referral service. It is open 24
hours a day and serves Lee,
Chambers, Russell and Talla­poosa
counties.
The center was organized in
1971 after the suicide of a local
teenager. Several Auburn resi­dents
decided there was a need
for such a telephone counseling
service in this area.
Fourteen years later, approxi­mately
75 volunteers make up the
Crisis Center. Each volunteer or
"listener" works four hours a
week at his convenience "man­ning
the phone lines."
"The time is flexible," said
Hope Reese, publicity director for
the Crisis Center. "You fill out a
schedule card at your conven­ience."
In fact, being a volunteer takes
very little time at all, Reese said.
Training, however, is demand­ing.
Listeners spend approxi-
UP.UP AND AWAY-Up with people visited
Auburn earlier this week to perform for the
community and to recruit Auburn students for
their world-wide program. The visit was
sponsored by the UPC and was a part of its
"Splash Into Spring" program, which fea­tures
a week of exciting events.
mately 24 hours in one weekend
learning active listening skills,
she said.
Instruction is based on "A
Helping Model" developed by
Robert Carkhuff and on other
counseling methods.
"We stay away from giving
advice," Reese said. "Some peo­ple
just need someone to bounce
ideas off."
A listener tries to help the caller
fully explore the problem. He
assists the caller in understand­ing
his resources and helps the
caller choose a course of action
without telling the caller what to
do, according to Reese and sev­eral
counselors.
Listeners try to be non-judgmental
and try not to let
their own personal beliefs influ­ence
their conversation, she said.
All volunteers are at least 16
years old and about half are
Auburn students. As many men
volunteer at the center as do
women, Reese said.
Listeners keep their identity as
well as the location of the center
confidential, in keeping with the
Crisis Center's policy, Reese said.
During the weekend of train­ing,
listeners meet each other and
participate in role-playing activi­ties,
Reese said volunteers are
seated back-to-back with one act­ing
as listener and one as caller.
They act out calls on subjects
such as alcohol and drug abuse,
depression, problem pregnan­cies,
threatened suicide and mar­ital
and parent-child relationship
problems.
However, not all calls are suic­idal
or very desperate situations.
"Some people just want to chat
for ten or fifteen minutes," Reese
said. She adds that most callers
are simply lonely.
Often, after talking with
callers, listeners can refer them to
other community organizations
Self-evaluation committee appointed by Senate
The University Senate has
taken a measure to assure quality
in Auburn's academic programs
by appointing a special commit­tee
to study what types of formal
procedures Auburn could use for
periodic self-evaluation.
"We're asking this committee
to look at...how we ought to go
about periodic program review,"
said Senate Chairman Gerald •
Johnson.
Named by the Senate Rules
Committee to chair the commit­tee
was James C. Williams III.
Other members are Thomas R.
Smith, William H. Holley, John
G. Heilman, W.E. Hill, Norman
D. Davis and Virginia Hayes.
Also in Tuesday's meeting, the
Senate passed a resolution com­mending
Johnson, outgoing
chairman, and Margaret Koui-dis,
outgoing treasurer, for their
service.
"They handled a lot of tough
situations well," said Ian Hardin,
incoming chairman. Johnson
will preside over Tuesday's Gen­eral
Faculty meeting, at which
time he will turn over his office to
Hardin, who was elected last
year. A new secretary and chair-elect
will be elected at the same
meeting. (See related story, this
page).
Also on Tuesday, Executive
Vice President George Emert
briefed senators on the ongoing
budget process in Montgomery,
and said the University is closely
watching the bond issue being
proposed by Gov. George Wallace
and expected to be introduced
into the state Legislature within
a few days.
Emert also noted that planning
work for the hotel-conference
center is proceeding as sche­duled,
and that construction on
the stadium expansion should
begin around the first of June.
Emert reiterated that only
athletic department funds will be
used to back that project.
Also, he said that the Commit­tee
on Governance continues to
work regularly and is presently
trying to identify the constituen­cies
that should be represented in
university governance.
In other matters, Gordon Bond
of history, asked the senate to
establish a committee to study
the possibility of boosting
Auburn's summer programs and
presented a resolution for action
in the May meeting.

better equipped to handle their
specific problem. The center has
more than 500 organizations on
file, including those such as the
Task Force for Battered Women
and the Rape Counsel, Reese
said.
She admits the training can be
exhausting, but she and other
Crisis Center volunteers are
quick to stress the benefits.
"It (the training) will help you
in everyday life by learning how
to really listen to what people tell
you rather than going with your
own opinion," says one male
listener.
A female listener agreed. "It
makes you more sensitive to the
listening needs of other people."
"I learned so much," says one
student volunteer, "I feel like I
am better able to handle
problems."
Many of the center's volunteers
chose to spend their time as lis­teners
because of the personal
satisfaction the work provides.
"It's more tangible than going
to board meetings," says a volun­teer.
"I like to accomplish
things."
Student volunteers represent a

backgrounds.

Common consumer problems have remedies
By Diana Houghton
News Staff
Tired of getting ripped off from
businesses simply because you
did not know any better or know
what you could do about it?
The Deceptive Trade Practices
Law was passed in April of 1981,
which provides protection for
Alabama consumers that they
never had before and protects
reputable businesses* and the ,
Attorney General's Office of
Consumer Protection investi­gates
individual complaints and
business practices when patterns
of fraud appear.
Henry Henderson, legal advi­sor
in the Career Development
Services for Auburn University,
cited some of the problems occur­ring
in the area for students who
might seek help-
Various problems include
those happening between room­mates
such as when one leaves
and refuses to pay the rent or util­ities
or when car accidents
happen, and the other party does
not have insurance and will not
pay damages.
Stein accepting cabinet applications
Students will also engage in
assault on each other, and if the
other is hurt, one might seek legal
recourse.
Because of all the apartments
in Auburn, there are also the
landlord/tenant problems along
with repairs and deposits.
The Office of Consumer Protec­tion
"has some good things for
my students," said Henderson.
The service has been available
since 1979, and before that from
1972-1979, the governor's office
handled consumer's problems.
If enough people write com­plaints
in about the same particu­lar
business or service, they will
be acknowledged, he added.
The agency warns consumers
of common unfair and deceptive
practices and suggests ways con­sumers
can protect themselves
and it presents the interest of the
consumer before administrative
and regulatory agencies and
legislative bodies. The office
• does not advise whether or not a
business is reputable, nor does it
recommend specific products,
brands, services or firms.
The Consumer Protection
Agency says that if you have a
complaint, identify the problem
and decide what would be a fair
settlement Have documents to
substantiate your complaint,
such as a sales receipt, repair
order, warranty, cancelled check,
etc. Make copies of all documents,
and keep the originals.
If you have a legitimate com­plaint,
an investigator will assist
you in attempting to obtain a set*
tiement.
When the business replies, the
investigator can determine a fair
and amicable settlement.
If the Consumer Protection
Agency does not feel it can help
the consumer, other means of
recourse are available. The indi­vidual
may be referred to a state
or federal agency having prim­ary
jurisdiction in the area of the
complaint
Applications for positions on
the SGA cabinet and various
University committees are avail­able
now in the SGA office,
announced SGA president-elect
John Stein earlier this week.
Stein will be conducting inter­views
for cabinet positions Mon­day
through Thursday and hopes
to have the results posted by
Monday, April 29. He will then
appoint the members of the Uni­versity
committees.
Stein said that any student
interested in interviewing for a
position must come to the SGA
office and fill out an application
this week.
Stein said he is excited about
getting his job started and filling
these positions is his first prior­ity.
"I want some good students
that are interested in getting
involved," he said.
He added that he wants stu­dents
for the University commit­tees
who will provide good input
that can be seriously considered
by the faculty and admini­stration.

Venison costly for convicted students
Lee Ann Landers
Copy Editor
Two Auburn fisheries graduate
students paid a high price for
venison last week when they
were both fined by a Lee County
Circuit Court judge on April 9 for
pleading guilty to hunting viola­tions
filed against them by the
Auburn University police, Cir­cuit
Clerk Annette Hardy said.
Danny T. Potts, 06 FAA, was
fined $954, including court costs,
when he pleaded guilty to pos­sessing
protected game, two
counts; and hunting without a
permit. Richard B. Moyer, 06
FAA, was fined $586, including
court costs, when he pleaded
guilty to hunting out of season
and hunting without a permit,
said Hardy.
Both Potts and Moyer were
arrested in mid-February during
a police investigation into the
d i s a p p e a r a n c e of a $5,000
research deer. University Police
Chief Jack Walton said the two
students were arrested after
someone had seen them on uni­versity
land, and they later con­fessed
to hunting on the land.
. Walton added that neither
Potts or Moyer were charged with
the disappearance of the research
deer. The disappearance of the
missing research deer is no
longer being actively investi­gated,
Walton said.

students began school fall quar­ter,
they came to the Plains with
the knowledge that they had at
least one new friend to lean on.
These students were participants
in a mentor program in which
upperclassmen with similar
i n t e r e s t s and backgrounds
became their "big brothers" and
"big sisters" for the year.
The concept for the Big Bro­ther/
Big Sister program came
about when several students
attended the Black Students on
White Campuses conference in
Atlanta, Ga, last year. Linda
Robinson and Deb Liddell, of the
Office of Special Programs,
enlisted the aid of upperclassmen
to serve as mentors to i incoming
black freshmen.
The annual conference, Robin­son
said, was conceived as a way
to get students with similar types
of concerns together. "Some of
the problems at Auburn are
simply caused by the fact of
numbers," she said. "It's very
easy for black students to get lost
in the shuffle when there are
fewer than 600 on a campus of
19,000."
Robinson said some of the spe­cial
needs a new black student
might have—the best place to get
a haircut, for instance-might
seem trivial to other students but
are extremely important needs in
a town like Auburn.
"I think the idea for this pro­gram
is good," said Sharlene
Reed, a senior who participated
in the program, "because we can
help a freshmen avoid some of
the mistakes we've made," she
said.
Because fall quarter was basi­cally
a "getting to know each
other quarter," Robinson said
activities were purposely un­structured.
The upperclassmen
were given a list of "Do's and
Don'te", which included items
like not attempting to become the
student's academic adviser, or to
pick his or her friends.
Some students, however, said
the loose format of the structure
made it easy to lose touch with
their wards. "After the initial
meeting, I think more events
should be scheduled to help get us
started," Reed said.
Auburn University has al­ready
accepted almost 187 black
students for the 1985-86 school
year and another 240 are waiting
for news from the admissions
office. Of the 367 black students
who applied for admission to
Auburn last year, 221 were
accepted and 153 actually
enrolled for the 1984-85 school
term.
Robinson said the success of
this year's program won't be
known until after a survey of par­ticipating
freshmen is completed.
The feedback, she said, has been
positive. Next year's Big Broth­ers
and Big Sisters are currently
being recruited by the Office of
Special Programs in Mary Mar­tin
Hall.

who considers himself a house-husband,
was at home with his
wife and daughter when the FBI
knocked on his door with a war­rant
for his arrest.
Jacob spent the night in the
local jail and the next day he was
he was arraigned and released on
$75,000 bond. His trial is set for
May 6,1985.
While the government may say
that registering for the selective
service is no big deal, Jacob con­tends,
it is something that eve­ryone
should be concerned with
and he urges everyone to think
about it before they fill out the
registration form.
One of the reasons Jacob says
he plans to cite for his defense
during the trial is that "I feel I
was singled out from all other
people avoiding to register for the
draft because I openly discussed
my refusal to register with the
selective service.
"And I feel like they are using
Jeane
'times referred to as the cemetery
tree. Jeane said there are several
cemeteries with these character­istics
in the Auburn-Opelika
area.
Jeane said citizens of a com­munity
set aside space for a
cemetery and planted vegetation
such as bridal wreath, crepe myr­tle,
Cherokee rose, gardenia and
sape jasmine, all of which have
low maintenance requirements to
make yards aesthetically
attractive. These plants also
have symbolism associated with
death.
"The graves are almost invari­ably
aligned on an east-west
axis, the feet facing the east, a
tradition going back to prehis­toric
man. It has always been a
Christian practice for the feet to
face the east in rememberence of
Christ's birth in Jerusalem, but
in prehistoric times, the feet also
faced this direction because the
sun was worshipped," said
Jeane.
Also found on these graves are
children's toys. He said on the
adults' graves may contain per­sonal
articles such as spectacles,
medicine bottles, eyewash cups
and coffee mugs. On top of some
of the graves in these cemeteries
people place seasheils, a custom
which dates back to the pagan
era. The old cemetery in Cussetta
has the big cedar trees in its yard
and seasheils are found on some
of the graves.
"Other cemeteries found in
America are similar to memorial
gardens with rolling, profes­sional
landscapes. This comes
from the belief of what a contem­porary
cemetery should look like.
There is a different set of values
(in each generation) which reflect
what it ought to look like," said
Jeane.
One of the unique and interest­ing
items found in Auburn's Pine
Hill Cemetery is a statue of a
small, nude boy. The boy is hold*

to live in another dorm for next
fall, Myers said, because they are
being forced out of their current
resident.
Nick Cappella, the president of
the dorm, said they were notified
of the renovation Friday, the
same day of the deadline for
housing contract renewal/can­cellation
sheets to be submitted,
continued from A-l
and most people had their sheets
turned in already.
Cappella said it is too late to get
a nice apartment off-campus and,
as Ben Vallarda, a four-year resi­dent
of the hall, added, many will
be moving off campus, since the
other men's dorms on campus
aren't as nice as Alumni Hall, for
the rent they pay.
continued from A-l
ing a container in his hand that
contains a lizard. Jeane said
statues of nude children are
uncommonly found in Southern
cemeteries. He said the statue
was probably stylized from pic­tures
seen in a mortuary
catalogue.,
Typically in the past, people
could buy coffins, burial shoes
and other burial items through
Sears Roebuck & Co. and Mont­gomery
Ward catalogues, said
Jeane. Now he says it is custom to
order these items at funeral
homes and mortuaries.
Epitaphs, the inscription on
tombstones in memory of the one
buried there, is one cemetery item
Jeane says he has not personally
"given one thought." He said he
and his wife have decided that
cemeteries represent a land-space
problem to in the world. Consid­ering
this lack of space of for bur­ial
grounds, the Jeane s believe
that they would like to donate
their bodies to science.
"If I do decide against my cur­rent
belief, I would want my epi­taph
to be humerous rather than
sentimental."
Jeane gave and example of a
meaningful epitaph found in
Opelika's Rose mere Cemetery. It
reads, "Freed like a bird released
from his cage on a summer day."
Jeane said this is a good example
of an epitaph he would want on
his tombstone.

me as an example to keep those
opposed to the registration silent,
and I feel like this is an infringe­ment
on my freedom of speech,"
Jacob said.
Because the federal prisons are
overcrowded, Jacob said, the
government is only choosing
those who openly refuse to regis­ter
by speaking or writing a letter
of refusal to the selective service.
"Right now the federal prisons
have about 27,000 inmates and
there is no possible way the
government can process, prose­cute
and imprison the 250,000
people who are avoiding to regis­ter,"
Jacob said.
Although Jacob refuses to reg­ister
with the the selective service
he says that if the United States
was ever really threatened with
war he would be one of the first to
go.
"I am not against war if it is
necessary for the defense of the
nation, but what I am avidly
opposed to is the possibility of the
government being able to draft
me or anyone else for a war or
policing action like Vietnam,"
Jacob said.
"I feel like the United States
should just pull out of some of the
areas they are in now, because we
are only harming our economy
and making those countries
depise us and democracy.
Plainsman wins 'Crown'
By Sandra Rogers
News Staff
Editor Lynne Hopkins said she
was "pleasantly surprised" when
she learned after spring break
that The Plainsman had won The
Gold Crown Award for college
newspapers.
"I knew we had done a good job
covering student affairs, but it's
good to be recognized on a
national level competing with
other newspapers working under
the same conditions you are,"
The Gold Crown Award is a
national award for college news­papers
given annually by the
Columbia Scholastic Press Asso­ciation
(CSPA), which is based at
Columbia University in New
York City.
"This is the second year in a row
that The Auburn Plainsman has
won The Gold Crown Award,"
Hoplrins said.
The Gold Crown Award cele­brates
the "outstanding achieve­ment
in the writing, editing,
design and production of a super­lative
student publication" and is
received by only the top one per­cent
of college publications in the
nation. The two other recipients
of The Gold Crown Award are
The Daily Texan of The Univer­sity
of Texas in Austin and
Thundertvord by Highline Com- '
munity College in Midway,
