Student starts petition
for intersection light
By Denise Self
New* Staff
A petition requesting that a
traffic light be installed at the
intersection of South College
Street (Highway 29) and Shug
Jordan Parkway at the Confer­ence
Center is being circulated on
campus by Katharine Conyers,
an AU senior.
The intersection has been the
scene of three accidents, one of
which claimed four Uvea, within
a two-month period, city police
reports state. Conyers said the
four-lane intersection is "espe­cially
hazardous" at night.
"The only lights nearby are
those in the Wal-Mart parking lot
and the signs that light up the
Best Western Hotel," Conyers
said.
Concerned about the several
accidents that have occurred at
that intersection since the begin­ning
of fall quarter, Conyers feels
the petition will make the public
more aware of the possible traffic
dangers.
Conyers, a resident of Lake-wood
Commons, said, "So far I
have talked to people and organi­zations
on campus, and I have
received an incredible amount of
support."
The SGA Senate passed a reso­lution
requesting a traffic light
for the intersection on Oct. 22.
Senator John Stein, chairman of
the Student Welfare Committee
(SWC) stressed that immediate
action should be taken. "We hope
the resolution will set the
machinery in motion," Stein
said.
Judy Thomas, a member of the
SWC, first suggested the request
for a traffic light. Thomas said
she noticed the safety hazards
during fall rush when a friend's
car was demolished at the
intersection.
"After seeing the frequency of
wrecks in such a short period of
time—even before school had
started—it was obvious that
something had to be done," said
Thomas.
The absence of street lights, the
need for turn signals leading off
College Street and the question of
the driver's ability to compre­hend
the distance to the intersec­tion
were discussed by both Con­yers
and Thomas.
"Students living down the
entrance to Lakewood Commons
are having to turn that intersec­tion
many times a day," said
Thomas. "This is a safety hazard
to Auburn University."
Conyers stated that getting
support at the University and
motivating the city council will
get the attention of state officials,
since Highway 29 is a state
highway.
"I don't believe stoplights can
save everybody," said Conyers.
"But they can help. To tell the
truth I'm scared; scared for resi­dents,
for friends stopping by,
and I'm scared for me."

An amendment to extend the
neighborhood conservation zone
by 400 feet was rejected by the
Auburn City Council Tuesday
night.
The proposal, originated by
Kenny Howard, met with opposi­tion
from five of the nine council
members. One opponent of the
proposal, Or. Charlotte R. Ward,
said she "cannot support extend­ing
400 feet everywhere," but that
there may be places where the
extension was acceptable.
For the past few months, the
extension of the conservation
zone has been a subject of con­troversy
with the city council.
A proposal made by Samuel
Harris to eliminate the develop­ment
district and rural zone to
establish an "underdeveloped"
zone also failed to pass. Oppo­nents
said the proposal would
currently be "economically
infeasible."
A proposal which forbids build­ing
construction 50 feet from the
neighborhood conservation zone
except for developmental district
housing passed, as did Ward's
proposal allowing for more citi­zen
input.
Ward proposed that "any non­residential
use request for the
developmental district zone will
be advertised in a paper of local
circulation two weeks before any
decision is made by the planning
committee or other appropriate
officer so that neighbors may ask
questions, record objections, etc."
She added that while "citizen
input is welcome, it is understood
that decisions will be made solely
by the authorities designated in
this ordinance

THE BUILDING MUST GO ON

'Meeting Russians where they live
By Bill Kimber
News Staff
Auburn University officials
have denied any wrongdoing in
the $1 million lawsuit filed
against the University by
Conner Brothers Construction,
according to their replies to the
first set of interrogatories to the
suit.
The suit, filed against the Uni­versity
and several other defend­ants,
came after the University
Foundation's refusal of the low­est
bid for the construction of the
new Civil Engineering building.
All the defendants in the suit are
required to answer the interroga­tories,
which are composed of 25
questions pertaining to the suit.
According to the University's
interrogatory, the advertisement
for bids placed in the Opelika-
Auburn News by University
' Architect Tom Tillman was
placed in error. Since the Univer­sity
"did not have the funds" for
the construction, all the bids were
dropped.
The interrogatory also says
that Harry Golemon, a Houston,
Texas, architect, was chosen by a
selection committee to be the
architect on the project. The suit
names Golemon as a defendant
as well, claiming that he libeled
Conner Brothers when he
recommended that the project be
granted to Brasfield and Gorrie
construction of Birmingham.
According to the suit, Golemon
insinuated that Conner Brothers
was not a "responsible bidder."
The committee that selected
Golemon included University
Architect Tom Tillman, Lynn E.
Weaver, Dean of Engineering,
and William Land. These men
were selected to be on the commit­tee
by then-president Hanly
Funderburk.
According to a separate inter-*
rogatory filed by University
President James Martin, Gole­mon
was hired before Martin
became President, and he doesn't
know of the details surrounding
the hiring. Martin said that
Golemon was never hired by the
University, but by the Founda­tion.
A hearing is set for November 8
in the Lee County Circuit Court
following motions by the Univer­sity
to dismiss the lawsuit.

American chaplain has unique view of Soviets
By Dara Parr
Assistant Features Editor
Dr. William Villaume has
some concepts of Russian life
that might differ from that of
the average American.
Villaume spent more than
two years in Moscow as the
American Protestant chaplain.
During seven to eight months of
those two years seven Russian-
Pentacostals were seeking asy-i
lum in the basement of tne Amer-i
ican embassy.
"It's very different seeing
how someone out of the middle
of Siberia looks at the world,"
according to Villaume.
Villaume was born in Boston
and grew up in New York City.
His family moved to Canada
during his high school years
and after graduation Villaume
attended college in Canada. He
went to seminary in Philadel­phia
and after ordination went
to his first pastorate, a Luthe­ran
church in Ohio. Villaume
also did graduate studies in
speech communications at Ohio
State.
Villaume said that growing
ip with an outside view of the
Jnited States has been very
helpful through later events in
life.
Having taken Russian in
high school, Villaume con­tinued
his interest in the lan­guage
and culture. He enrolled
in an Indiana University pro­gram
that provided for six
weeks of on-campus study of the
Russian language, then six
weeks of practical application
in Moscow.
Also, while in seminary, Vil­laume
had visited the Univer­sity
of Leningrad with a mind
toward being an exchange stu­dent
to study Russian Orthodox
Christianity.
During his visit to Moscow,
Villaume decided to drop in on
the American Protestant cha­plain,
but found that the cha­plain
had recently left Moscow.
Villaume found instead the
American Roman Catholic
priest. As the priest offered Vil­laume
Coca-Cola and hot fudge
cake, he explained what the
duty of an American chaplain
entailed.
In 1977, Villaume was
recommended by a former..
American chaplain to Moscow
as a candidate for the position.
The criteria for recommenda­tion
were his broad background
in the Russian language and
culture explained Villaume.
"A lot of other candidates
thought it would be the Bolshoi
Theatre every night, but I knew
it wasn't."
Villaume says he was appre­hensive
about the offer at first
because he was single and
thought it might be lonely.
He says that he wasn't lonely
at all in Moscow because he was
constantly surrounded by
people.
He had always entertained
the idea of serving in Moscow,
and at his arrival in the Russian
capital in 1978, he felt familiar
because of the time spent in
Moscow while he was a student.
Villaume says that ironically
•enough, he experienced more cul­tural
shock coming back to the
United States than he did in
going to Moscow.
The American chaplain min­isters

turns sending a representative.

minister.
"The Russians didn't care so
long as I kept my attentions
behind the wells of the
embassy," remarked Villaume.
Russian citizens were not
allowed to participate in servi­ces
held on embassy grounds.
Intimidating Russian guards
barred Russian citizens from
entry into the embassy
facilities.

At times almost 70 people
would squeeze into the British
ambassador's office for ser­vices.
An especially memorable
Christmas Eve service took
place in the British embassy.
The British embassy was across
the river from the Kremlin. Vil­laume
explained that the Krem­lin
had a red plastic star at its
top to celebrate the Christmas
season.
As the group meeting in the
British embassy read about the
true star of Bethlehem, they
could see the counterfeit star
glowing across the river. The

The format for the debate was
patterned after the recent presi­dential
debates. A panelist would
direct a question to one of the
debators who had two and a half
minutes to respond. Then his
opponent would be given a
chance for rebuttal.
The debate covered a wide
range of issues, the major topics
concerning foreign relations and
the economy, with each represen­tative
expounding the platform
of his party and the statements of
his candidate.
The debators then summarized
their arguments in their closing
statement. McLoughlin cited the

saying that the Mondale admin­istration
would lead with com­passion,
hope, and a commit­ment
to arms control. He also
stressed the importance of issues
rather than image.
In his closing statement, Cruel
referred to the past record of the
Reagan administration, citing a
reinvigorated economy, a refoc-using
of the people on the prob­lems
in the education system,
and a strengthened military.

presidential Survey Semester system study stalls
Several Auburn students expressed their views about
the upcoming election and the candidates in a recent
Plainsman survey. Following are examples of students
opinions.
Tom Gentle, 02IM, Bir­mingham
"I plan to vote for
the entire Republican ticket. I'm
positive that Reagan will win,
and I think the election will be
over by 8 p.m. We need four more
years of Reagan, because he has
just begun his job."
Paul Wright, 02GC, Los
Angeles
"I'm voting for the Libertarian
candidates for several reasons. I
think that we need some of the
Libertarian ideas on other plat­forms
and if we get a big percen­tage
of Libertarian votes, maybe
We can get something said. I hope
to get the Libertarian movement
noticed."
Chuck Lyons, 02PA, Mobile
"I'm voting for Reagan because
he is the best man for the job. At
first I didn't like him at all, but I
think he won the last debate.
That's what changed my think­ing.
I hope he wins, and I think he
will."
Melanie Klopfenstein,
01GEH, Panama City
"I'm voting for the Mondale-
Ferraro ticket. I know that Rea­gan
is going to win, but I sure
hope he doesn't. I think that
Mondale's campaign has been
strong, considering that he is up
against a tough opponent. Mon-dale
is definitely the best man for
the job."
Keith Waites, 03APS,
Opelika
"I'm voting for Mondale
mainly because I'm voting
against Reagan. I tend to agree
more with Democratic philoso­phies,
too. I'm for a balanced
budget and Reagan's voodoo
economics are going in the oppo­site
direction from this. Reagan
has bounced a check and we the
people have a lot of service
charges to pay."

Plans for further study on the
question of Auburn converting
from the quarter system to the
early semester have not been dis­carded,
only put aside in favor of
matters that are more pressing
for the 1984-85 year, according to
Dr. Gerald Johnson, chairman of
the University Senate.
After receiving a report on May
8, 1984 from the University
calendar committee comparing
the two systems, the Executive
committee of the senate was
asked to do an in-depth study on
the various elements involved in
converting from one system to
the other.
The executive committee plans
to appoint several sub-commit­tees
to research various areas
that will be directly affected by
the proposed change in calendar
years.
At the request of the new
administration, the university
senate will concern itself primar­ily
with two issues for the coming
year; university reorganization
and university governance.
Therefore, according to Johnson,
the committees will not be
appointed until either winter or
spring quarter to further study
the issue of converting to a
semester system.
In the study submitted to the
university last May, the calendar
committee reported that 57 per­cent
of all colleges nationwide
used the early semester system
compared to 26 percent that util­ized
the quarter system.
"There are only three remain­ing
schools in the southeastern
conference: Auburn, Tennessee,
and Georgia, that are still on a
quarter system," said Johnson.

"everyone else is doing i t Auburn
has to decide what will benefit its
students and its educational
priorities," he said.
Even if the University decides
to adopt the semester system, the I
"Auburn has to decide what will benefit its stu­dents
and its educational priorities."

Of the three, both Tennessee and
Georgia are already moving
toward converting to the semes­ter
system.
Johnson fells that just because
other schools are switching over.
to the semester system does not
mean that Auburn necessarily
earliest that it would go into
effect would be the fall of 1989.
The sub-committees that are
chosen to do further study on the
conversion proposal, will do the
bulk of their research this
summer and make a full and
complete report next fall.
Halloween festivities an old tradition
By Dara Parr
Assistant Features Editor
For most of us, those days of
trick or treating are all over. All
the indecision of what to be for
Halloween, driving your mother
crazy with questions like,
Couldn't you just make a God­zilla
costume?" and then decid­ing
to be a ghost at the final
moment.
Trick or treating is a very
-American custom. Halloween, or
All Hallows Eve, is the first night
of a brief season that includes All
Saints Day on Nov. 1 and All
Souls Day on Nov. 2.
The Christian dead are still
commemorated in a variety of
customs and festivities all over
Europe Nov. 1 and 2.
Long before the church Chris­tianized
this season, it was con­sidered
to be a time when the gate
from this world to the next was
opened, the dead returned from
the grave and gods from the
underworld walked around.
The pagan Celts celebrated the
feast of Samhain on Nov. 1. On
the eve of the feast, the dead were
honored, divination was prac­ticed,
harvest ceremonies went
on, games were played and fires
on hilltops were started to defeat
the powers of evil and purify the
land.
Christianity seemed to sanc­tify
the season with new names
and feast days, but Christianity
didn't change many of the pagan
practices and superstitions con­nected
with Halloween.
In England, where most Hal­loween
customs began, commun­ities
lit huge bonfires and
gathered around for protection
against fairies and witches and
just to have fun.
A popular Halloween game,
bobbing for apples, began in
England, its history running
back to pagan times. Other Eng­lish
Halloween games are divina­tion
rites, only jokingly practiced
today but once taken seriously as
part of the feast of Samhain.
It was believed that on All Hal­lows
Eve, when supernatural
beings were all around, young
people could try and tell the
future, especially in love and
marriage.
One common practice was to
place two nuts in the embers of a
fire, one for the guy, the other for
the girl. If the nuts burned quietly
together the couple would marry;
if they flared up or exploded, the
courtship was doomed.
CDS improving study skills program
By Shannon Jones
Features Staff
Do you find yourself question­ing
where all of your time goes?
Do you feel there is no possible
way to escape failure? Are you
beginning to wonder if you
should have opted for a career at
the local McDonald's rather than
attend Auburn?
If so, you are precisely the stu­dents
the counselors at 315 Mary
Martin Hall are trying to reach.
Many students are unaware of
the study skill services available
on campus. The Career Develop­ment
Services have placed more
emphasis on improving the study
skills program because students
have indicated an interest, or
need, in improving time man­agement,
reading comprehen­sion,
exam preparation and writ­ing
skills. Approximately 1,200
students expressed the need for
study skill improvement previous
to fall quarter.
Any students, upperclassmen
as well as freshmen, are eligible
for this free service. The counse­lors
are prepared to assist, not
criticize or scold those who seek
advice. At a session, the counse­lors
pinpoint the problem area or
simply help determine why a stu­dent
does not feel motivated. The
student is given a time organiza­tion
chart to schedule study
hours and free time. Booklets and
cassette tapes on particular study
skills are availble.
Study skill workshops are
available to groups as well as
individuals. These workshops
are offered to any size group. Sor­orities
and fraternities have
taken advantage of these in the
past and the workshops have
proved to be most helpful.
It is apparent many students
have expresed a concern in self
discipline and improving study
skills; therefore, this service has

Streetlight needed
Traffic accidents are a painful
eality and when there is a chance
lat they can be controlled it is
mportant that we do what must be
one.
Two weeks ago a tragic accident
laimed the lives of four people in
ne of the worst traffic accidents
lat Auburn has ever seen.
Although the circumstances sur-ounding
the accident are not clear,
t is evident that something needs to
e done about the intersection at
College Street and Shug Jordan
'arkway.
This is especially true at this
itersection because three other
ccidents have happened there ir.
le last two months.
Many people have shown interest
i putting a street light up including
one senior, (Catherine Conyers, who
has circulated a petition and the
SGA Senate recently passed a reso­lution
requesting a traffic light for
the intersection.
Because the road is a state high­way
the Auburn City Council must
now work toward getting a traffic
light installed.
Looking at the number of acci­dents
which have happened at the
intersection there is clearly a need
for action to be taken and soon.
Now that people have begun to
realize the consequences of car acci­dents,
we must now work toward
solving the problem and hope that
the Auburn City Council joins in
helping to cut down the number of
accidents in the city.
Shultz lacks communication
It's just another case of our secre-ary
of state not being able to keep
lis mouth shut.
It seems to be another case of
vho's in charge and who speaks for
vhom, but this time it is coming
rom Secretary of State George
Shultz rather than his predecessor,
Alexander Haig.
There has recently been some con­tusion
in the Reagan administra-ion
as to exactly who determines
>ur country's policy in the area of
errorism.
Last Thursday Shultz, giving a
speech in New York City, said the
Jnited States "must be willing to
ise military force" even if it led to
;he death of innocent civilians.
Shultz continued that, "The pub­ic
must .understand before the fact
hat there is potential for loss of life
>f some of our fighting men and the
oss of life of some innocent people."
After these comments were made
reactions began to pour in from
leagan and George Bush, both stat-ng
that the opinions expressed by
Shultz did not necessarily reflect
policy.
Bush immediately responded to
Shultz's comments by saying, "It
has been our policy not to needlessly
risk the lives of innocent civilians."
Reagan was a little slower
responding to the comments, how­ever,
he also disputed Shultz's
opinions.
Later Larry Speakes, the White
House spokesman, said that the
Shultz speech "was Administra­tion
policy from top to bottom."
With this kind of poor communi­cation
occurring, every American
citizen should ask himself just who
is in charge and who knows what
our policy really is?
Communication is a vital part of
any kind of organization, especially
when it concerns our administra­tion's
policy and this kind of dispute
is one that should not be taken
lightly.
It makes the United States look
foolish to other nations as well as
causing ourselves to question our
own policy, especially in an area as
sensitive as terrrorism.
The blunder seems to lie with
. Shultz himself, who did not have
the speech cleared by White House
political advisors and had not
received the backing of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff or Defense Secretary
Caspar W. Weinberger.
It seemB that if he had taken the
time to get his facts straight there
wouldn't have been the confusion.
Policies explained
Every week The Plainsman has
un a policy box explaining our poli-ies
concerning the editorials and
ubmissions for letters to the editor.
his week, however, we decided to
ake a more formal approach to try
o explain our policies.
The unsigned editorials which
ppear on the left each week are the
pinions of The Plainsman editorial
oard which consists of all editors,
ection editors and assistants. The
lews printed reflect the majority
pinion of this board, not necessar-y
every editor.
Our policy in printing editorials
eilecting The Plainsman opinions
that we also include an objective
ews story explaining the situation
n the same week. Last week, how-ver,
a story on the semester system
ras overlooked when the paper was
esigned and the news story was left
ut. We regret the error and hope it
oes not happen again in the future.
Personal columns are the writer's
own opinion and do not reflect the
opinion of the paper, just the writer.
Letters to the editor is a place
where anyone who wishes to express
his or her opinion may do so.
Because of the overabundance of
letters to the editor during fall quar­ter,
we are not always able to print
all of them. When too many letters
are received many things are taken
into account including proper sub­mission,
space allotted for letters
and the variety of topics which are
received.

Liberation Day threatens future
It was a little over a year ago that
American troops invaded Grenada and
after nearly a year of analyzing and
debating the position of our troops on
the island there is little doubt that the
move was a success.
However, there still remains questions
as to if our methods were carried out
justly, if Reagan's decision to keep the
press away from the island was war­ranted
and if the medical students were
ever in serious danger.
Recently many right-wing groups on
college campuses have instituted what
they call "Student Liberation Day,"
commending the invasion.
It is sad to think that these students
have so little to be glad about that they
rejoice on the anniversary of a day when
it was necessary to stop the threat of
communism through military force
resulting in the death of 19 people.
Shouldn't we rejoice on the days when
it is not necessary to take such drastic
moves and when lives are not lost in the
fight for democracy?
Luckily, the invasion in Grenada was
successful and the island is free from the
Cuban threat. Now the few remaining
American soldiers are able to patrol the
island peacefully.
Unfortunately, the United States'
position is one that still leaves a lot of
questions.
One of the strongest criticisms raised
was that members of the press were not
allowed to go onto the island to report on
the events until after everything was
over and the news media had to rely on
reports from the government as to what
went on.
Do these students advocating the
"Student Liberation Day" also believe in
repression of the press and ignorance to
the details of what really happened?
One of the most disturbing aspects of
this is the question of just what course of
action do these students want to take in
other countries such as Nicaragua and
El Salvador.
If troops were sent to invade these
countries it would be a lot different than
Grenada. American troops would find
that these ^Latin American countries
contain trained soldiers and guerillas
who would revolt against the invasion
with much more conviction and force
than was encountered in Grenada.
We learned our lesson in Vietnam and
should not look at the possibility of war
as a viable alternative • something that
these students seem to be advocating.
Locally, the SGA Senate has also
taken it upon themselves to declare Oct.
25 as "Student Liberation Day" on
Auburn's campus.
In a resolution it states that "our lead­ers
(should) be encouraged to meet the
future challenge of protecting freedom
wherever it is threatened around the
world."
The question is what does this really
mean? Does this mean freedom at any
cost and by any means?
As our so-called student leaders they
should have had the courtesy to inform
and ask us our opinions before declaring
"Student Liberation Day."
Luckily, the actions of the SGA rarely
change the course of history or even do
so much as interrupt the routine of our
everyday lives.
But such narrow-minded attitudes as
those of the SGA and students involved
with "Student Liberation Day" should
be based on more facts, less sensational­ism
and a concern for the role of demo­cracy
in the world and hopes that we
never end up on the wrong side of a war.
Pay attention even to false alarms
Auburn students have certainly
learned well the lessons of elementary
school about how to behave during an
emergency.
Remember fire drills? "Remain calm.
Don't panic. Don't run," said the
teacher.
On Friday night, Langdon Hall was
crowded with people watching the free
movie, a pointless film called Against:
All Odds. Late in the movie, a bell
started ringing somewhere in the build­ing.
As it continued to ring, the audience
began to look around to find out the
cause of the disturbance.
Eventually, as the bell was getting
annoying, some quick-thinking UPC
member turned off the projector and
turned on the house lights. With their
attention distracted from the movie,
most people stood up and looked around
some more, trying to figure out why the
movie had been interrupted. While peo­ple
discussed the possible causes for
such an alarm, the bell finally stopped.
"Start the movie," someone yelled.
After several more minutes of puzzled
looks and milling about, the lights went
back off and the movie took up where it
left off. Everybody sat back down.
Throughout the crisis, we students
acted calmly, rationally and conserva­tively.
There wasn't a panicked soul in
the crowd. We acted as if we were all
graduates of the Alfred E. Neuman
School of Emergency Procedures
("What, me worry?").
I was proud of the group. After all, we
had avoided a needless stampede in
which someone might have gotten
seriously injured. I was proud of our
esprit de corps in the face of danger too.
If there had been a bomb, we would have
all blown up together, by golly.
Besides, if we had all rushed outside
like a bunch of fly-off-the-handle radi­cals,
we would have missed the end of
the movie.
The incident made me realize that we
hear so many false alarms, it's hard to
tell the futile ones from the real ones.
We have grown up in a world of false
alarms. I remember lining up outside in
elementary school during the frequent
bomb threats, but there was never a
bomb. We had an "energy crisis," but we
still have gasoline. All our lives, we've
heard people screaming that the ICBMs
will fly tomorrow, but still no nuclear
war. Someone is always warning us
about things that never happen.
Each false alarm we survive reinfor­ces
our resistance to act upon any alarm.
So many boys cry, "Wolf," that we no
longer believe any of them. The reaction
of the crowd at the free movie to the
alarm merely reflects a common
tendency.
Of course, there is such a thing as a
real alarm, but usually someone has to
get hurt before anyone will believe it. We
only believe in proven dangers, because
potential dangers are intangible.
But we sometimes pay for our resist­ance
to alarms. Here in Auburn, people
are trying to get a traffic light put at an
intersection where four people died, but
the intersection already had a history of
accidents.
Knowing when to heed alarms and
when not to is a dilemma. Everyone
laughs at "The Panicky Guy" on Late
Night With David Letterman because
he runs away at the slightest hint of
danger. But, the Panicky Guy might be
the only survivor on the one day he is
right. Where does one draw the line
between wasting time while looking
foolish and being safe?
Don't be lulled into a sense of security
by the stream of false alarms we witness
each day. You may ignore a bell one day
when you should have paid attention to
it, and then it might be too late to learn
from your mistake.

Libertarians offer voters more freedom
America is the land of plenty. We have
more cars, TVs, stereos and cable chan-
. nels than any other nation in the world.
This prosperity has its root in our most
precious commodity: freedom.
Jefferson and the other founders of
this nation understood a great truth
which has become muddy today—that
rights and freedoms are not something
that the government gives us, but some­thing
we already have—"inalienable
rights," they called it.
In his first inaugural address in 1801,
Thomas Jefferson said, "...a wise and
frugal government which shall restrain
men from injuring one another, shall
leave them otherwise free to regulate
their own pursuits of industry and
improvement, and shall not take from
the mouth of labor the bread that it has
earned. This is the sum of good govern­ment..."
Is this what we have today?
Today our government is a massive
beaureaucratic red tape factory. This
taxation-regulation-redistribution
machine is responsible for 25 percent of
our current GNP. That means that one
dollar of every four that is spent annu­ally
is spent by the government I
shouldn't have to tell you that they don't
take in that much in revenue, and the
problems caused by massive govern­ment
borrowing and regulation.
The government has found that'
through the use of tax credits and other
incentives, they can control to some
extent the amount and type of invest­ments
that are made. They also force
businessmen to place their money into
unproductive "tax shelters" which save
the entrepreneur some money on his
income tax but produce no new wealth or
new jobs.
Government regulations are also a
fairly new idea. While usually well-intentioned,
most legislation of this sort
has actually helped the monopolists
hold onto whatever share of power that
they can grab.
Witness the airline industry. The
Federal Aviation Administration regu­lated
the airlines for many years, but
whose side were they on? Their job con­sisted
mainly of keeping competition out
and setting fares for flights. When the
industry was deregulated recently, fares
went down by more than half. A similar
argument can be used against most Fed­eral
regulatory agencies, such as the
ICC, SEC, SBA, HUD, etcad infinitum.
The government is becoming more
and more meddlesome in our private
lives as well. With increased technology
comes increased capability. The IRS
doesn't need court permission to tap
your phone or impound your documents.
The NSA, a security office so secret and
powerful that even the FBI and CIA are
afraid of them, monitor all long distance
phone conversations and international
ship traffic with sophisticated satellites
and computers.
If Mondale is elected, watch your
pocketbook. He has already promised us
new taxes, and you can bet those tax
increases will go hand in hand with a
whole new set of business regulations
and tariffs that will keep our unproduc­tive
industries afloat and cost all Ameri­cans
money and many of us jobs.
If Reagan is elected he'll tax us too. He
gave us a tax break in '81, but quietly
passed the largest peacetime tax
increase in the history of this nation in
1982. Reagan comes with an additional
drawback-decreased personal freedom.
Five members of the Supreme Court
are due to be replaced in the next Presi­dential
term, as they are all in their mid-
'70s. Ronald Reagan will no doubt
appoint justices which reflect the
narrow-minded moral codes of himself
and his constituency. His is the kind of
thinking that brought us Prohibition in
the 1920s, the only amendment to the
Constitution that has ever been
repealed. Currently, such "crimes" as
prostitution, pornography, homosexual­ity,
and drug use cost us as a society
nothing but the cost of police time and
jail space that could better be used
against real criminals.
Is there an alternative to geometric
government growth and tax increase?
The Libertarian party is the only politi­cal
party that stands for small govern­ment,
increased personal freedom, and
abolishing of the federal income tax.
The good things that Reagan pays lip
service to (deregulation, reducing taxes)
the Libertarians stand for completely.
The Reagan drawbacks (legislated mor­ality,
increased intrusion into our pri­vate
lives) the Libertarians completely
oppose.
Libertarians are also running for
Senate and Congressional seats in Ala­bama
and across the nation. Vote for
them. For liberty. For prosperity. For
freedom.'

Coattail effect should not
affect Ala. senators race
With election day quickly coming
upon us, I think it is time to analyze an
important state senatorial race that a
few voters seem to be confused about: the
race between incumbent Democrat
Howell Heflin and Republican chal­lenger
Albert Lee Smith.
As it appears now, President Ronald
Reagan will make a clean sweep of the
once Democratic South and particularly
Alabama, and will win the presidential
election by the widest margin since the
Nixon-McGovern race. Mondale will be
lucky to carry his home state of Minne­sota,
after that, his victories will be slim.
But enough of the presidential sweep­stake
that has been turned into one big
circus by the news media, another
serious problem has arisen: candidate
Smith riding Reagan's coattails in his
race against Heflin.
Voting for Smith because of Reagan
is ludicrous.Let the man stand on his
own laurels, which are few and far
between. But before I look into a few
samples of Smith's idea of representa­tion
of the people, let me first look into
the background of the most qualified
candidate, incumbent senator Howell
Heflin.
The "Judge" as he is so accurately
deemed by his colleagues for his former
position as the Chief Justice of the Ala­bama
Supreme Court takes a both judi­cious
and studious approach to the sen­sitive
issues on Capitol Hill. While
Heflin was chief justice he led sweeping
changes of the Alabama Judicial system
and shaped it into a model that is still
copied by many state and local systems
today.
Heflin is a respected man in Washing­ton
today and with one glance at his
committee rankings and positions one
can tell that Heflin has a clear record of
past accomplishemnts and a clear
vision for the future.
Heflin is the chairman of the Select
Committee on Ethics; serves on the
Judiciary Committee and is on two judi­ciary
subcommittees.
Heflin is the ranking Democrat on the
subcommittee on Science, Technology
and Space and his efforts alone have
brought Huntsville's Marshall Space
Flight Center millions of dollars worth
of business. An important plus in the
economic picture of Alabama employ­ment.
Heflin was described by the Asso­ciated
Press as "The principal spokes­man
in Washington for deep south
farmers," quite a hefty description.
Heflin has also been instrumental in
guiding the tedious, Tennessee-
Tommbigbee waterway project through
the senatorial maze. Especially to the
Port of Mobile, the Tenn-Tomm will be of
great importance to the people of Ala­bama
as it will become a transportation
center for more than 16,000 miles of
waterway.
Heflin surely cares about bis people in
the state. He fulfilled his 1978 campaign
promise of visiting each of the 67 coun­ties
in the state at least once a year and
has attended over 700 town meetings
and has spoken at over 200 high schools
across the state. Now there's a man who
makes his rounds.
Now let's just take a peek at Smith and
find out why the people in his congres­sional
district booted him out of the
office in 1982 after only one, two-year
term in the House of Representatives.
To give you a clearer picture of what
Smith is about, I will just take the sub­ject
of education, which is very pertinent
at a university and give you a sampling
of how Smith supported the issues.
Smith voted to, in a brief, two-year
time span, eliminate low-cost loans to
266,000 needy students, remove another
quarter of a million from work-study
programs and also voted to remove over
a half million graduate and professional
students from student loan programs.
Have you ever stopped and thought that
you might have been affected had Smith
accomplished his way on Capitol Hill?
It's a very frightening thought to me.
But Smith didn't stop there. He deve­loped
a proposal to raise the interest rate
on student loans to 10.75% for under­graduates
and to 12% for graduate stu­dents.
Again, that is hitting a lot of peo­ple
in the pocketbooks. And to top it off,
Smith voted to cut programs for the dis­advantaged
and handicapped children.
The man is nearly totally heartless.
I guess I could go on and on, but I
think you get the picture. Although I
must admit I am leaning heavily to the
Republican side in the presidential elec­tion,
Reagan or no Reagan, it has got to
be Howell Heflin.
Heflin brings common sense Alabama
thinking to the Senate when it is essen­tial
for the proper decisions to be made
affecting our national defense, arms,
control, the economy, education, which I -
have elaborated on, agriculture and
many others.
The decision is yours...The cards are
on the table.
Football brings campers, alums
to the Plains each weekend
You've seen them. They sit for days
next to the coliseum, waiting.
Waiting for what you ask? The upcom­ing
football game~of course-or a camper
convention, whichever comes first. At
Auburn they are one in the same.
Yes, I'm talking about that conglo­meration
of alumni who appear on cam­pus
Wednesday or Thursday and stay
until Sunday or so. They sit outside the
campers in lawn chairs before the game
and smile at all the students who are
racing toward the stadium in hope of
finding a seat.
They are smiling because 1) They
know they have 50-yard-line seats or air-conditioned
boxes reserved for them
inside the stadium. 2) They are drunk.
For years I have smiled back at them
partly for the sake of friendliness, but
mostly out of pity. I figured that the stu­dents
should feel sorry for these alumns,
because they are obviously cursed peo­ple.
Why else would they return to the
Plains every week?
I mean, who wants to work only two
days a week and ride around the country
to see football games the rest of the time?
It must be absolute torture. You can tell
by the looks on their faces what agony
they are in—oh the pain.
I want to know where these people
work, and what I need to major in to get
a job there.
Someone once asked me if I thought
these alumns actually enjoyed coming
to all those games every week. "No
way," I said. "They look like they are
having too much fun. It's all a show—
they really hate it." .>' v
Since it's getting to be such a tradition
here, right up there with "Wreck Tech"
and "Around the bowl and down the
hole, roll Tide roll," maybe Auburn
should start offering classes in tire cover
design and RV repair-do it yourself.
They could even have a geography class
on finding the shortest route to major
college towns.
I say Auburn should turn all "C" and
"D" parking zones into permanent
camper parking-alumns only. Just
think of all the money they would make
charging $10 every week for parking
rights. They would make a mint •
They could even use the money to
build a hotel-conference center for those
alumns not fortunate enough to own
campers, the poor souls. It would be
worth it to tear down some meaningless
old fraternity houses, don't you think?
The prospects are limitless.
A friend said something to me the
other day about his parents casually rol­ling
down to Gainesville in their motor
home to see the Tiger-Gator battle.
Oh my, I thought, someone actually
knows these camper-people, and not just
an acquaintance-a blood relative!
I wasn't intimidated, though. After
all, my mom takes our Lear jet to the
games all the time.
But these camper^driving alumns
aren't confined to Auburn. They can be
seen at all the away games—look out
Florida!
There is one thing that I have always
wondered about these alumns who
migrate to Auburn during the fall. What
do they do when football season is over?
After many late nights spent thinking
about it, I've finally found the answer.
They hibernate and make plans for
the soring A-Day game
History shows support for separation
Editor, The Plainsman:
There is evidence that an untruth, told
over and over again, becomes believed
as truth. One of the untruths, being cir­culated
by the religious " rightl" and
repeated in print in last week's letter by
Mark Bowman, is the idea that the
founding fathers did not really intend
a separation of jdhurch and [state.
It is true that many of the colonists
who fled Europe to obtain religious free­dom
for themselves, set up governments
which denied religious freedom to any
sect other than their own. The founding
lathers, at least collectively, had better
judgment.
Listen to the words of Thomas Jeffer­son:
"...no man shall be compelled to fre­quent
or support any religious worship,
place, or ministry whatsoever... all men
shall be free to profess, and by argument
to maintain, their opinions in matters of
religion, and that the same shall in no
wise enlarge or effect their civil capaci­ties."
Jefferson himself used the phrase
"wall of separation between church and
state" in describing what was accomp­lished
by the First Amendment. Jeffer­son
thought that a man's religious con­victions,
or lack of them should not
"enlarge or diminish his capacity to
serve in civil government."
Many fundamentalists dismiss Jef­ferson's
genius because he was a Unitar­ian,
which they consider to be some­thing
lower than atheist. But, lest you
think that Jefferson was alone, listen to
the words of George Washington: "The
Government of the United States of
America is not in any sense founded on
the Christian Religion."
And Benjamin Franklin: "When a
religion is good, I conceive it will support
itself, and when ... its professors are
obliged to call for the help of civil power,
'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad
one.
James Madison, and Thomas Jeffer­son
are given credit as the architects of
separation of church and state; how­ever,
other prominent, patriotic, and
learned men have also had their say on
the matter.
"All religions united with government
are more or less inimical to liberty. All
separated from government are compat­ible
with liberty" (Henry Clay).
"Thank God, under our Constitution
there was no connection between
Church and State..." (James K. Polk).
"Whenever the clergy succeeded in
conquering political power in any coun­try,
the result has been disasterous to the
interests of religion and inimical to the
progress of humanity" (James
Connolly).
Andrew Jackson was afraid that he
"might... disturb the security which reli­gion
enjoys in this country in its com­plete
separation from the political con­cerns
of the government."
"I believe in an America where the
separation of church and state is
absolute—where no Catholic prelate
would tell the president (should he be
Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant
minister would tell his parishioners for
whom to vote" (John Kennedy).
"Kings and magistrates are to rule
temporal affairs by the swords of their
temporal kingdoms, and bishops and
ministers are to rule spiritual affairs by
the Word and Spirit of God... and not to
intermeddle with one another's author­ity,
office and function" (Baptist leader
Leonard Busher, from a 1614 petition to
King James I).
Christ could have chosen to rule a per­fect
temporal kingdom with temporal
law—indeed he was tempted by the
Devil to do just that. Christ rejected that
temptation, but unfortunately many of
his professed followers have not. They
insist on making laws which (they
claim) arise from their Christianity, and
thus they show that they have missed
the point of Christianity.

Reagan's record proves his incapability
Editor, The Plainsman:
I suppose a majority of Auburn stu­dents
favor Reagan because of their
youth and inexperience. So they are easy
victims of mindless popular culture,
slaves of TV, in which Good 01' Boy
Ronnie finds himself a happy part.
In my opinion, anyone who looks with
a critical eye at the Reagan record will
find a lot of reasons to vote against Ron­nie
and Boy George Bush. First, of
course, broken promises concerning the
budget. In 1980 Reagan said he would
have it balanced in 1983. Conservative
economist Bill Baxter, head of Baxter
Worldwide Economic Service, says in
his bulletin of Oct. 19,1984: "Despite his
conservative posture, President Reagan
has been the biggest spender in U.S. his­tory...
The cumulative deficit, over eight
years, during the Kennedy and Johnson
Administrations produced a cumulative
deficit of $193 billion. In just four years,
under President Reagan, the deficits
have totaled $728 billion." The figures
speak for themselves.
Then there is Reagan's sorry record on
civil liberties and civil rights, his atro­cious
record of deliberate non-enforcement
of laws for environmental
protection, and his mishandling of for­eign
affairs: his do-nothing attitude in
Beirut, his meddling in Central Amer­ica.
Even George Will says he has a pen­chant
for alibis. But the main trouble is
that he is not in effective charge of
things; he does not discipline his cabinet
and staff for their mismanagement.
What about domestic issues? In 1980,
Reagan promised to maintain the safety
net of social security; but as Boon as
elected, he proposed cutting it way
down. He heartlessly cut aid to disabled
people (See Newsweek, Oct. 15,1984, p.
14). As Editor Lynne Hopkins pointed
out in the last Plainsman, he went along
with deep cuts in the student loan pro­gram.
Typical treatment of programs set
up to serve the people.
Some people praise him for his "pres­ence."
Well, he hires fairly good joke wri­ters,
and we can all appreciate a well-rehearsed
quip. But behind this
Good-Joe "presence" is a mediocre mind,
and various journalists have called his
lazy and fuzzy-minded. See, for example,
the political journals of Elizabeth Drew
in The New Yorker for the last year.
What can we think of the quality of mind
of a man who seriously writes to people
about fulfillment of prophecies of
Armageddon in our time? Even Jerry
Falwell doesn't go for that. Religious
leaders suggest that Reagan is pander­ing
to the fundamentalist far right.
And that leads me to say that I for one
don't want any Ayatollah Falwell look­ing
over my shoulder or picking any
Supreme Court judges. The inquisitory
tactics of the Republican Right are an
insult to America. I can't favor any pres­ident
who so readily wants to blur the >
church-state issue.
Finally, Reagan's Star-Wars scenario!
The other day a general opined that even
if such a satellite set-up could be created
(at a cost of a trillion dollars!), it could at -
best be only 90 percent effective. But
wouldn't it give the military-industrial
companies a lot of business!
We are almost down to the 21st cen­tury.
We can't afford to have as leader a
man of the 19th century such as Reagan.
Norman A. Brittin
Department of English
Hopkins' positions lack substance, truth
Editor, The Plainsman:
Lynne Hopkins' editorial in the
October 25 Plainsman asks the rhetori­cal
question, "Why have so many
younger voters rallied around Ronald
Reagan?" and goes on to display sur­prise
at this situation in two ways. First,
to summarize, "Students should not vote
for Reagan because he is against educa­tional
opportunities" and, point two,
second four years of Reagan policy
would not be in the country's best inter­ests.
Unfortunately, the article does not
really say what would be wrong with the
future should Reagan be re-elected. It
would be extremely nice to know what
Hopkins thinks, in quasi-specific terms,
what bad things would happen if the
Republicans won again, instead of just
receiving the "bad vibes" about the
future which this article communicates.
As a final note, Hopkins urges us to
"make our government more responsi­ble"
by a vote against the Reagan ticket.
But I must ask a question: Does a plan to
raise taxes to finance the billion-dollar
promises made by the Democratic con­tender
constitute responsibility?

of the path that future he is leading us into the Mondale projects numanist programs
I wish to challenge these two positions
one at a time, beginning with the first
point.
Although there is not much content in
campaign rhetoric, perhaps a look at one
of the phrases used by the Republicans
will illustrate why Reagan is not trying
to hamper the school system of college,
as Hopkins has claimed. The Republi­cans
speak of forming a new "opportun­ity
society" which, simply put, would
provide<the necessary conditions for
anyone to be able to make their own
opportunities.
Although a good educational back­ground
is a great help in making oppor­tunities
in the job market, the Republi­can
position is to let anyone make his or
her own opportunity to get an education,
instead of placing that burden upon the
taxpayer, who pays for an outright
grant or the default of a loan. The fact
that this would mean that some students
would have to put forth more effort in
gathering resources for college does not
mean that Reagan is trying to hamper
the educational system.
Hopkins' second point uses the state of
the economy to drive her point home.
However, an analysis of the facts that
she uses and the way that she uses them
points out several flaws in her
arguments.
Hopkins states that Reagan has only
"claimed" to do away with the paralyz­ing
interest rates and inflation which
plagued the economy. I ask this ques­tion:
Who else brought them down? The
editorial goes on to state that we are bet­ter
off "on the surface," while implying
that the long-range implications of a
Editor, The Plainsman:
Although Walter Mondale is often
described in the news as "the son of a
Methodist minister" and Quackenbush,
his Southern strategist, says "That's
how we got the rural vote in Alabama,"
Mondale has himself said of his
upbringing at the Fifth Congress of the
International Humanist and Ethical
Union in 1970:
"Although I have never joined a hum­anist
society, I think I am a member by
inheritance. My preacher father was a
humanist—in Minnesota they call them
Farmer Laborites and I grew up on a
very rich diet of humanism from him.
All of our family has been deeply influ­enced
by this tradition including my
brother Lester, a Unitarian Minister,
Ethical Culture Leader, and Chairman
of the Fellowship of Religious Huma­nists."
(p. 33, Whitehead and Conlan,
"The Establishment of the Religion of
Secular Humanism and its First
Amendment Implications," Texas Tech
Law Review X.)
Mondale's father a Farmer Laborite
humanist? What does that mean? The
Farmer Labor party, founded in 1920 in
Minnesota, continued the work of the
Socialist Nonpartisan League; its plat­form
included government ownership of
some industries and its membership
included Communists. Humanism is
described in the Humanist Manifesto
7(1933) and 7/(1973). The 1973 version,
signed by Mondale's brother Lester,
states:
"We can discover no divine purpose or
providence for the human species...
Ethics is autonomous and situational....
The right to abortion shoud be recog­nized...
Individuals should be permitted
to express their sexual proclivities and
pursue their lifestyles as they desire...
(Civil liberties include a recognition of
the right to) euthanasia.... The door is [
open to alternative economic systems.'
Although Mondale's personal faith, |
be it Methodist or Humanist, is his con­stitutional
right in America and beyond I
our concern, the political program and |
the voting records of Mondale and Fer-raro
are the proper and vital concern of |
all voters. Ferraro, consistently pro-abortion,
has voted for federal funding I
for fetal experimentation on babies |

prevent denial of ordinary care to new-j
boms (that is, for euthanasia), and fori
federal funding of abortion onl

The Mondale-Ferraro platform, in itsl
call for federally funded abortion and itsl
guarantees for so-called homosexual!
"rights," and in its door opened to morel

is clearly Humanist. Can Quackenbusl

Keeping campus safe
Around the clock surveillance keeps AU police busy
By Donny Claxton
News Staff
Auburn University Police deny
the general student belief that an
officer's main goal in life is to
write as many tickets as possible.
The Auburn University police
department permitted a Plains­man
staff member to observe
officers for a total of 18 straight
hours on Tuesday and Wednes­day.
In that time, officers were
observed in the field as well as in
the office.
The day began with Capt. Bill
Nevin explaining his duties. "I
take care of making assignments
for my officers to cover major
events on campus," he said.
"With the way the system is
designed, we have a three-minute
reaction time for a call. We are
usually at the scene by then."
Nevin also said the campus is
relatively safe from weapons
such as guns. "The only time I
have ever had to pull my gun is at
the firing range," he said.
Nevins also suggested why an
officer is "too cautious" when a
stop is made. "Ninety percent of
t h e officers wounded are
wounded on the routine traffic
stop. A lot of people resent the
officer's actions, but he does not
know who not to worry about
when he makes a stop."
Nevin said police officers on
campus generally do not want to
arrest a student because the
police record will follow the stu­dent
in the future. But, he said,
usually the officer is left with no
other choice, expecially in DUI
cases.
"If I stop someone for a poten­tial
DUI, and I feel they are not
over the limit and let them go, I
am taking a risk. If they drive
another block or two after I let
them go, and then they kill some­one,
I can be arrested for criminal
negligence."
An AU police officer can make
an arrest and can ticket someone
off campus and those arrested are
sometimes taken to the Auburn
city jail. The city jail is a place
many seldom see, and it is here
where the true dramatics come
out. First offenders are brought
in here, as well as habitual
offenders.
For the first offender, incarcer­ation
can be a traumatic expe­rience.
It is in the jail where the
seriousness of the individual's
offense settles in.
At the AU traffic office, the
mood is not nearly as intense.
Many students on campus are
now becoming familiar with the
face of John Swatts, one of the
clerks who handles the payment
of campus parking violations.
Swatts said, "Most of the stu­dents
who come in to pay their
fines are nice about it, but there
are some who will come in here
and fib. Others merely say they
do not think they are guilty, but
seemingly admit their guilt by
paying their fine instead of
appealing."
The dispatcher is vital to the
officers in the field. It is this indi­vidual
who answers telephone
calls from victims, and relays
them to officers. The dispatcher
also aids by running license plate
checks to further identify drivers.
The officers of the AU police
have strong faith in these indi­viduals,
because a dispatcher's
efforts in a time of crisis can
mean life or death.
There is another area of the
department, the detective div­ision,
which deals with crimes
that occur on campus. Their
purpose is to finalize evidence for
cases, and to do the investigating
that the patrol officer does not
have the time to do. This work
includes fingerprint lifting,
stake-outs, and arresting indi­viduals
on warrant. These offic­ers
are usually dressed in plain
clothes.
At night, security monitors are
patrolling the campus. Their
main job is to check the security
of campus buildings, and to
watch for suspicious night activ­ity.
Many of these are on foot, and
some are in vehicles about cam­pus.
These officers add another
dimension to the security of the
campus.
Lt. Bill White, one of the offic­ers
observed, said, "Mostly what
we do here is public service work.
We are here to help the students.
If it were not for the students, we
would not be here. I personally
feel that we have a good relation­ship
going with the students."
A few minutes later, when
White was out of the car assisting
a student with a gas problem, two
students drove by and booed him.
AU Police Chief Jack Walton
told a story in which a similar
incident occurred. Walton said,
"One day an officer pulled a bicy­cle
rider over as he was riding
down Thach by the Haley Center.
Two girls on a bench observed the
situation, thought the officer was
giving the rider a hard time and
said, 'Hey, he's just riding his
bike, why don't you leave him
alone?' The officer turned around
to the ladies and said, 'Did you
ladies ever think that this may
not be his bike?' It wasn't,
either."
Another officer, Donna Long,
said that she gets the most satis­faction
with her job from helping
and working with personal crises
that some of the women on cam­pus
encounter. "If I can help
someone, that type of thing
makes me feel good about what I

HOW TO BUY A DIAMOND
There are three approaches to
baying a fine diamond, or an
exceptional piece of diamond
jewelry:
1. There is the old fashioned
way of looking for a ring until you
find one you like. If it's in your
price range, buy it.. . enjoy it. . .
and never look back.
2. Buy from a discount opera­tion.
It's probably been priced
much more than its worth.. .but
then you can buy it for 50 per cent
off.
3. Learn something about dia­monds.
Learn about the cutting,
color, perfection and weight. Use
a microscope and know what to
look for. See a set of "Master
Color Stone".. .and decide which
color will best fit your needs.
Select your unmounted diamond
and then select the exact ring for
the diamond.
At Wares we are more than
willing to take the time to explain
about diamonds.. .yes, we be­lieve
#3 is best. If you do find the
subject of diamonds interesting
.. .and you would like to get the
best possible in a diamond, here
are a few facts which we present
as a service to you.
What color is a diamond?
Diamonds come in all colors...
pale blue, dark blue, yellow, pink,
green. The famous Hope diamond
is a dark blue. But these colors
are called "fancies" and are quite
rare and expensive.
The most prized diamonds to
many are the colorless, or pure
white diamonds. Most diamonds
have a very faint tinge of some
color.. .usually yellow. WHAT
COLOR SHOULD YOURS BE?
That's up to you. You may feel
you prefer the very finest color...
But it will cost more than a
diamond with a slight color in it.
We have a set of "certified"
diamonds.. .examples of each
color to assist you in understand­ing
this important point in
selecting a diamond. Once you
have seen all grades you will
better understand color grading
.. .and you will probably be able
to select the grade diamond that
you would prefer comparing
appearance and price.
What Shape is a Diamond?
Any shape. But there are six.
shapes you see more of than
others: Brilliant, Marquise, Oval.
Emerald Cut, Pear and Hcari
Shape. The Brilliant cut, as v I'U
know, is also called a Roumi
diamond.
Brilliant
Marquise
Ova!
Emerald Cut
Pear Shape
Heart Shape
How Big is a Diamond?
A diamond's size is measured
by its weight — in carats. There
are 142 carats in an avoirdupois
ounce. Carats are divided into
points — 100 points to the carat.
So a 52-point diamond is just over
half a carat.
But:
a brilliant cut diamond of 1 carat
will appear to most people to be
bigger than an emerald cut
diamond of the same weight!
Oval and marquise cuts also tend
to seem a little larger per carat.
You might think that a 2-carat
stone would cost less per carat
than a 1-carat diamond (because,
after all, a 2-pound loaf of bread
doesn't cost twice as much as a
1-pound loaf). But that is not the
case. Because size itself is a rarity
factor. There are far, far fewer
2-carat stones in existence than
1-carat stones — and they cost a
good deal more than tiwce as
much as ' carat stones of similar
quality "i other respects.
DID SOMEBODY SAY
"FLAWLESS?"
The clarity of a diamond is
important. Almost all diamonds
contain tiny inclusions — minute
imperfections included in them
when they were formed • by
nature. To call a diamond "flaw­less,"
a diamond must have no
imperfections when viewed by an
expert under 10-power magnifica­tion
in good light!
Instead, each has its own
unique personality — a tiny
addition by nature which makes
one diamond unlike any other in
the world.
How Well Is It Cut?
Not all diamonds are cut to the
perfection of those shown in the
pictures. Fine diamonds, how­ever,
are. The cutting and
faceting is for the purpose of
making the most of the diamond's
ability to reflect and refract light
— to dazzle the beholder, as fine
diamonds have since time im­memorial.
Is that all there is to know about
Diamonds?
Not at all. What should a
guarantee cover when one pur­chases
a diamond. (Remember to
always get in writing the weight,
color, perfection, future'trade in
value, and a chart to show
identification features in a dia­mond).
How about the mounting
...after selecting the diamond
it's now THE important part. At
Wares we offer over 400 styles by
Orange Blossom, Artcarved, Ja-bel,
Advance and Diane. "'
When you have the time...
come to Wares for a chat about
diamonds. We answer questions
honestly. We are proud of our 30
years in the American Gem
Society. We have the equipment
needed to properly grade dia­monds.
We always have the time
for you... Downtown or in Wares
at the Village Mall.
At Wares we recommend that
one never purchase a diamond
without having the opportunity to
first see the diamond under a .
Djamond-scope. (The Diamond-scope

instrument with back light and
bi-optical advantages never offer­ed

>aid overtime

Jy Bryan Crowson
Assistant News Editor
Federal funds are allowing
. Jabama State Troopers to work
overtime catching speeders. The
crackdown began Oct. 24 and will
an through July 7, 1985, said
lartha Earnhardt, spokeswo-
Iman for the Department of Public
|Safety.
The state received $497,568
through the "National Maximum
Speed Law Selective Enforce­ment
Grant" by which troopers
are paid "salary and subsistence"
to patrol during their off-duty
time and enforce the 55 mph
speed limit. The grant does not
pay for the gasoline which will be
used by the extra patrols.
The money was channeled
through the governor's Office of
Highway and Traffic Safety, a
branch of the Office of Economic
and Community Affairs. These
offices distribute federal and
grant money to state agencies,
said Earnhardt.
The primary purpose of the
program is to enforce the 55mph
speed limit, but drunk drivers are
also targeted by the effort.
This is the second consecutive
year the state has participated in
the enforcement program. Last
year, after receiving the same
amount of money as this year,
troopers issued 14,958 speeding
tickets and 654 DUI citations
during their off-duty hours. A
total of 20,145 tickets were issued
during the 22,904 hours of over­time
paid for by the grant, said
the spokeswoman.
"We are really pleased to get
the money. We find that as speeds
increase, so do the number of
fatalities. Slowing down speeders
is one of the best ways we know to
cut down on accidents and fatali­ties,"
said Earnhardt.

Self-induced starvation and
fear of fatness are two symptoms
of the eating disorder known as
anorexia nervosa. Prevention of
weight gain by self-induced vom­iting
is a symptom of another eat­ing
disorder known as bulimia.
"It is absolutely essential that
the patient and patient's family
be told that nobody is to blame for
these illnesses," said Andersen.
Evidence indicates "that these
are syndromes which have a 'life
of their own' once established."
Research (shows that "model >
children" wfio are perfectionists,
self-critical and from upper mid­dle
socioeconomic families have
the highest probability of devel­oping
anorexia.
Those susceptible to develop­ing
bulimia frequently may show
abnormal behavior-they may
take drugs, be promiscuous and
steal. Bulimia individuals tend to
be somewhat older and come
from a slightly lower socioeco­nomic
class.
One phase of treatment is for
the patients to learn to identify
uncomfortable mood states
which they have channeled
unconsciously into abnormal
weight control or abnormal eat­ing
patterns.
The fear of becoming fat can
hinder patient recovery, and
patients must be reassured that
they will not be allowed to
become overweight.
Another roadblock to patient
recovery is t h a t becoming
healthy is viewed with the fear of
having to meet impossible
standards that come with being
normal or of having to endure
intolerable stresses without hing­ing
or vomiting.

Quad area lights installed
By Donny Claxton
News Staff
A series of student requested
lights were installed last week in
the quad areas of campus by
physical plant employees.
Paul Kearney, director of the
physical plant, said that seven to
eight sets of lights were installed
in each area of the quad at a cost
of $35,000.
The lights, which were
mounted on poles, were replaced
there because of numerous
requests from students. The
reauests were made because of a
history of peeping torn arrests
made in the area.
Kearney said the lighting of
the quad was part of a physical
plant project to eventually light
the entire campus. He said the
next area of campus that will
receive lighting is the new park­ing
lot at Morris Field.
Auburn University Police
Chief Jack Walton said the lights
were set up to add a sense of
security to those in the quad area
at night. Walton also said that
the new lighting will give night
patrolmen a better chance to
observe the activity going on in
the area.

Helpers are needed
for upcoming election
By Karin Gage
News Staff
Cabinet members Mike Howley
and Cindy Ayers are looking for
students who have one or a few
free hours on Wednesday,
Nov. 7 to help out and work the
polls for the Miss Homecoming
Elections.
Ayers said that interested stu­dents
should stop by the SGA
office in Room 213 Foy Union for
information about a meeting for
all volunteers. The meeting is on
Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Ayers
added, "this will be a very fun
activity."
Ayers also announced that she
is selecting students who will act
as chairpersons in the SGA Blood
Drive efforts. Ayers urges stu­dents
to drop by Room 357 Foy
Union from 2 to 5 p.m. on Mon­day,
Nov. 12.
Carol Callahan, Director of
High School Relations told
Cabinet members about a new
group of students who have been
joined in an effort to help recruit
high school students. Callahan
said, "Fifteen students were
picked to travel to high schools
across the Southeast amd pro­mote
Auburn.
"This program has been a suc­cess
thus far," added Callahan,
who said "students respond well
to other students." She also
announced that interviews for
next years student recruiters will
be held spring quarter.
The Consumer Affairs Com­mittee
is making preliminary
plans to start a consumer com- j
plaint box which will allow stu­dents
to make complaints
against local businesses. Chair­man
of Consumer Affairs Patti
Cobb said that the box will be in
the SGA office once all details
have been worked out.
Assistant Director of Spirit
Jimmy Graves talked about the
"Beat Bama Again" party to be
held following the U.A.B. base­ball
game. He said that the party
will begin at 9 p.m. and will end
at 1 a.m. Tickets for this event
will be on sale soon at $2 per
ticket for students.
All students interested in par­ticipating
in SIMUN (Southeast­ern
Invitational Model United
Nations) should contact the SGA
office for information concerning
this event. Director of Model U.N.
James Allied said "Many major
delegations are still available so
students should get involved."
At the Senate meeting that pre­ceded
the Cabinet meeting four
probationary charters were
awarded to new student organi­zations.
The charters were
granted to the War Eagle Triath-letes,
the Alabama Society of
Professional Engineers, the
Racquetball Club and the Auburn
Latin American Society.
In other action the Senate
approved two fund raisers and
approved appointments as
recommended by SGA President
David Shaffer. The new positions
were for the Foreign Student
Committee: Rose Chu and Ruben
Rojas-Oveida, and on the Special
Lectures Committee: Nancy
More and Curtic Carroll.
Stricter DUI laws enforced in state
By Lee Ann Landers
Asst. Copy Editor
"It's your business when you
drink, but it's everybody's busi­ness
when you drink and drive,"
said Lt. Al Baker of the Auburn
Police.
In the last few years the laws
against a person convicted of
driving under the influence of
alcohol or any other controlled
substance have changed, but
many people are not aware of the
consequences involved if they are
convicted of DUI.
When a person obtains an Ala­bama
driver's license he is under
an implied contract to submit to
tests to determine if he is under
the influence of drugs or alcohol,
Baker said.
If he chooses to refuse the test,
it is considered a breach of con­tract
and he will lose his license
for 90 days, said Baker. And if he.
refuses to be tested a second time
within five years, he will lose his
license for one year. Refusing the
test is admissable as evidence of
a person's intoxication , said the
policeman.
"The best thing a person can do
is to take the test It can only help
you once you have been pulled
over," Baker said.
Most people are aware that .10
percent alcohol content in the
blood is the legal point of intoxi­cation,
but what many poeple do
not realize is that a person can be
convicted if he has lower alcohol
level in, his body, said the
lieutenant.
From .00 percent up to .05 per­cent,
the law presumes a person
not to be intoxicated. And if an
officer wishes to convict a person
he must have other evidence
along with the breath tost, Baker
said.
From .05 percent up to, but not
including, .10 percent, the law
neither presumes a person to be
sober or intoxicated.
"We have gotten convictions in
this range. The way we usually
do this is by videotaping them in
the booking room and giving
them tests to do. And we have
even gotten convictions without
the videotape," Baker said.
With .10 percent and above, the
person is considered to be legally
intoxicated and this is sufficient
evidence to convict a person, said
the officer.
Baker added that the breath
test is administered by officers
licensed to operate the.testing
instruments and that about a
third of the Auburn police are
licensed.
Upon first conviction for DUI,
a person may be put in the county
or city jail for not more than one
year, or be fined a minimum of
$250 up to $1,000, or both. In
addition, the person's driver's
license is suspended for 90 days
and a person must attend a court
approved DUI school.
Cities talk privatization
When Gerald Johnson chairs a
panel at a conference in Cincin­nati
Nov. 7-9, he will be breaking
ground in new territory. The con­ference
on "Privatization and
Alternative Service Delivery"is
one of the first of its kind to be
held.
Privatization. It's a word you'll
be hearing more and more. It
means hiring the private sector to
do work that is now being done by
the public sector.
AU's department of political
science is seeking a multi-year
support project from the Envir­onmental
Protection Agency for
a nationwide study on privatiza­tion.
In addition, the department,
along with the Office of Public
Service and Research and the
Alabama League of Muncipali-ties,
will sponsor a statewide con­ference
on privatization in March
of 1985.
"We are in an advantageous
position to conduct this re­search,"
Johnson said, "with the
City of Auburn on the frontier, so
to speak. We believe we can make
a real contribution."
Only a few states have laws
allowing it, according to John­son,
who heads Auburn Univer­sity's
political science depart­ment
"A bill passed in the last
session of the Alabama Legisla­ture
makes it a possibility in the
utilities area."
The bill was introduced
because the City of Auburn
needed a new waste-water treat­ment
plant by 1988 to comply
with federal regulations and to
provide adequate water treat­ment
But federal funds would
only cover 33 percent of the con­struction
costs.
"If we tried to build it ourselves,
we'd have to sell bonds," said!
City Manager Doug Watson.
"The interest rate makes bonds
hard to sell. Federal grants have
been greatly reduced, so we
looked into the private sector."

Undergrads write theses
Honors program challenges exceptional University Scholars
Last year, seven Auburn Uni­versity
students wrote theses.
While that isn't so significant in
itself, the students were under­graduates
and the theses were
done outside of class and earned,
no academic credit.
Furthermore, if one of those
students had allowed his overall
GPA to slip below a 3.4 at the time
of graduation, his thesis would
have become worthless. But stu­dents
wrote them anyway, and
earned what only eight others
had done before them: classifica­tion
as a "University Scholar."
This year, the University
Honors Program is five years old.
It began as a way to recognize top
students as well as to give them
an extra challenge that others
don't have. Its founder and
chairman, Arts and Sciences
Associate Dean Caine Campbell,
says the program has done both.
"The University Honors Pro­gram
has even attracted students
to Auburn who have been offered
scholarships at other universi­ties,"
he explained.
Although the University
Honors Program is administered
out of Campbell's office, it is open
to more than students in Arts and
Sciences. It includes students in
Engineering, Architecture, Fores­try
and Biological Sciences.
The program does not extend to
Pharmacy and Veterinary Medi­cine,
but pre-professional stu­dents
in those areas can take part
in the program.
Becoming an honors scholar
isn't easy, though. To get into the
program, the student must have
scored as least a 29 on the ACT or
1250 on the SAT and must have
had a high school GPA of at least
3.4.
Once an honors scholar is
enrolled, he takes special courses
taught only by certain profes­sors.
The classes are usually
much smaller than comparable
non-honors courses and are much
more rigorous.
Lower level honors classes are
offered in English, history, polit­ical
science, psychology, sociol­ogy,
speech communications,
logic, philosophy and ethics.
Then, during the junior and
senior years, the students take
reading courses and special top­ics
courses determined by their
department heads. An honors
thesis is required and may be
based upon work in reading and
special topics.
"The thesis is the real mark of
the honors student," said
Campbell.
At the student's option, gradu­ate
courses can be taken in the
senior year that can be applied to
a graduate degree, with the grad­uate
dean's approval.
Campbell said by anyone's
standards, the program is tough.
Fewer than half of the students
who entered the program the first
two years were able to finish.
In 1982-83, the first eight grad­uates
finished the full program.
In 1983-84, seven more were
added to the exclusive list.
This year, 103 freshmen
entered the program, bringing
the number studying under the
program at present to 210, of
which 96 are engineering majors.
Sixty-two are in Arts and Scien­ces,
while Business has 18 honors
students; Architecture, 10; Agri­culture,
8; Education, ft; Home
Economics, 3; Nursing, 3; and
five students are undeclared.
Even though the program is
really just in its beginning, there
already have been many success
stories. One of the first graduates
of the program went on to win a
Fulbright Scholarship while still
another has won a Rotary
Scholarship.
Most important, Campbell
says, all of those who have made
it through the program have
emerged as much stronger
scholars.
Campbell said the honors pro­gram
was created when it was
realized that the best students
not only have to be recruited, but
must be given the proper chal­lenges
once they've enrolled.
Before the honors program was
created, some of the best students
were going to universities not as
good as Auburn so they could be
in a specialized, more rigorous
program, he said.
So, when the honors program
has now developed to where it
has a special part-time advisor.
The program began as the
"Honors Program," but its name
was changed to the "University
Honors Program" in 1981. What­ever
the nomenclature, Campbell
said> the program is helping to
make the best students even
better.
"What we want to do is provide
the kind of education these stu­dents
deserve," Campbell said.

Pack of Wrigley's goes far in Big Red Country
By Debbie Long
Research Editor
A doorman stands at the
entrance, in charge of letting
people into the building. You wait
in line three hours just to get
inside.
Once inside you have to per­suade
a waitress or waiter to
serve you. Here they are on a
quota system and only have to
serve a certain number of custo­mers
each night before they can
stop. If you are not served by the
time they reach quota, you are out
of luck.
There is one last hope if you are
caught in this situation. Just pull
a package of chewing gum from
your pocket and hand it to the
waitress or waiter, because this
scarce item can do wonders, per­suading
someone to serve you.
Where is this place where a
pack of Wrigley's Spearmint
Gum can be a major bargaining
tool?
Russia. Once allies, the Rus­sians
are now thought of by the
American people as the evil
Soviets who are the enemy. The
country and its people are a mys­tery
to those in the United States.
George Mitrevski, a professor
who teaches Russian at Auburn
University, spent the winter of
1979 in Moscow and says that the
above situation is typical in res­taurants
of the Soviet Union. The
doormen, Mitrevski said, try to
control the flow of customers into
the restaurants, being careful not
to let too many people inside at
one time. They do this in order to
keep waitresses and waiters from
reaching their quotas too fast.
When the inexperienced for­eigner
finally gets inside after a
long wait in line, he may be sur­prised
to find that there are
plenty of empty tables available,
but the doorman is simply being
picky about who he allows in the
door.
Mitrevski said that even these
doormen can be persuaded to let
you inside quickly with a pack of
gum or a pen. Unfortunately for
the Russian citizens, people from
other countries are usually the
only ones who have something to
bargain with, because gum and
similar items are scarce and can­not
be bought in.stores. Conse­quently,
the Russians are left
standing in the cold hoping for a
chance to enter.
Nevertheless, Mitrevski said,
eating out seems to be important
to the Soviet people. "To them
going out to dinner is an entire
evening affair," he said. "Few
restaurants serve breakfast, but
most open for lunch." He said
that they are open for several
hours around noon and then
close to prepare for the evening.
During this time they have to
wash dishes and clean the
restaurant.
"Dishes are not washed during
the open hours," he said. "They
let all the dishes pile up until it is
time to close, and then they are
all washed."
Mitrevski said that the actual
time in the restaurant lasts at
least three hours. The customer
can have a drink and walk
around speaking to other custo­mers,
and then return to his table
for the first course of the meed.
(After he has finished he walks
around the restaurant once
again, meeting people and talk­ing.
This pattern continues
through several courses.
Mitrevski said that a Russian
family may go out to dinner once
a month, or they may wait three
or four months before venturing
out to a restaurant again. He said
the reason they go out so seldom
is that the food is expensive, a
simple meal costing about $25 a
person, and there is such a hassle
every time you have to wait in
line to get in the door.
Restaurants have large menus—
as many as eight pages long—but
food is usually only available for
about three dishes listed on the
menu. It depends on what food is
available to the restaurant at
what time, Mitrevski said.
Jack Simms, head of the jour­nalism
department at Auburn,
found the lack of variety in res­taurants
to be a problem. Simms
spent the 1980 Olympics covering
the event for the Associated
Press. He said that at first there
was plenty of food of many kinds.
But as the days Went on variety
became scarce and quality dete­riorated.
He said that he ordered
the same meal two days in a row,
but was served two different
meals. Instead of the colorful
tossed salad, like the one ordered
the day before, he would receive a
salad consisting of only cabbage.
Simms said that the people,
like the food, are bland and lack
variety. He called his trip to Mos­cow
a "terribly depressing
assignment." He said the people
were the most somber he had ever
seen. No one smiled or laughed,
and they walked down the street
as if the weight of the world was
on their shoulders.
Simms said that one day he
surprisingly heard a person
whistling. He turned, searching
for the musician, but was disap­pointed
upon seeing that it was
just another reporter there for the
Olympics and not a native
Russian.
The clothes of the Soviets
reflected their somber appear­ance.
Simms said that they wore
gray and black, few bright colors
could be seen anywhere. During
the day, when the temperature was
about 90 degrees, the people wore
short sleeves. But at night,
Simms said, when the tempera­ture
had dropped 10 or 15 degrees,
the Soviets donned heavy wool
outfits.
These wool outfits are common,
according to Mitrevski. He said
that even the underwear is made
of a burlap-type material. He said
that Russian women would come
to the hotels and ask to buy the
Americans' underwear, because
it is made of cotton and not
burlap.
When asked about the KGB,
Simms let a smile creep across his
face. "They (KGB) all wore the
same thing," he laughed. The
men could be seen everywhere
wearing the pastel colored suits.
They stuck out like a sore thumb
and might as well have worn
police uniforms, he said. The
KGB would follow Americans
around and make sure they
stayed out of trouble.
Simms said that a photo­grapher
in his group returned to
his hotel room to retrieve a roll of
forgotten film and found those
men with the pastel suits search­ing
his room. They motioned
