Martin takes budget to
By Kim Best
News Editor
President James E. Martin
presented the University's pro­posed
budget for fiscal year 1986-
87 to the Legislature's Joint
Budget Committee in Montgo­mery
on Tuesday. The budget
requested $135 million, a 30.5
percent increase over the 1985-86
budget appropriation.
The proposed budget for the
main campus requests $96.2 mil­lion,
a 32.3 percent increase from
1985-86; $16.6 million for the
Montgomery campus (AUM), a
29 percent increase; $18 million
for the Agricultural Experiment
Station, a 27.2 percent increase,
and $21.2 million for the Cooper­ative
Extension Service, a 26.6
percent increase.
Priorities in the University's
budget proposal include full
funding of the Alabama Com­mission
on Higher Education's
(ACHE) formula-derived min­imum
needs, improved funding
for veterinary medicine instruc­tion,
increases for research
development, public service
enhancement, and a new minor­ity
faculty development program.
The College of Veterinary Med­icine
will require increased fund­ing
because it ranks behind nine
other veterinary programs in the
South in funding per student,
according to Martin.
A new item added to the budget
is a minority faculty develop-

ment program designed to
encourage black participation in
Ph.D. programs at the Univer­sity.
The budget requests funding
for 22 stipends to attract minority
. students to participate in Ph.D.
programs in hard sciences that
will enable them to teach in col­lege
classrooms, said Martin.
Martin said Auburn had so few
black faculty members because it
was difficult to find blacks with
Ph.D.'s in hard sciences such as
engineering, agriculture and
other technical areas that
Auburn specializes in.
Currently, the University has
11 black faculty members, about
1 percent of the total teaching
staff.
Part of the increases in the
budget will go to improve the
libraries on both the main cam­pus
and on AUM and to give pay
raises, about 6 percent at the
main campus and 10 percent at
AUM.
Increases in the Alabama
Cooperative Extension Service
and the Alabama Agricultural
Experiment Station budgets will
be important in aiding hard-pressed
farmers throughout the
state, said Martin.
Statement brings mixed responses Photography: Jay Sailor*
By Debbie Long
Research Editor
Reaction to the statement on
athletics and academics made by
the University Senate last week
has been varied, with some favor­ing
stricter regulations, while
others do not.
The Senate called for an end to
what it calls discriminatory prac­tices
in which athletes face less
stringent admissions require­ments
than other prospective
students.
Ian Hardin, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Academics
and Athletics said that the
s t a t e m e n t , which was in
response to recent efforts by the
NCAA to investigate reported
abuses in national college athlet­ics,
is being distributed to all Sou­theastern
Conference schools.
Standards for students apply­ing
for admission to Auburn as
freshmen require an overall C
Sounds slowly shifting
average in high school and a
minimum ACT score of 18, or a
comparable SAT score of 940,
according to admissions offi­cials.
Registrar Tom Stallworth said
student athletes on scholarships
must have an overall C average
in. high school, but have no min­imum
ACT or SAT score
requirements for admission.
This is in accordance with the
minimum standards set forth by
SEC and NCAA rules, he said.
When asked if it is fair for non-athletic
students to be rejected
even though they may have
higher ACT scores than athletes,
Stallworth said, "Yes, I think it's
fair."
He said that this is the only
way to maintain an equal admis­sion
program for athletics pro­grams
across the United States.
Student athletes disagreed
about the policy.
"I don't think it's fair," said
Shawn Blatt, a senior in finance
who is on the Auburn swim team.
"The requirements should be, the
same for everybody."
Another Auburn swimmer,
Scott Herber, a sophomore study­ing
electrical engineering, said
he disagrees. "Being an athlete
should count for something."
Hardin said, "It's getting
pretty hard for people to pretend
that there isn't something wrong,
with the process."
There is no question that the \
athletic department gives ath­letes
chances that ordinary stu­dents
don't get, he said.
Wilford Bailey, NCAA secre­tary
and treasurer and Auburn's
NCAA representative, said he
supports the statement in princi­ple.
But however desirable the
standards are, "They can't be
achieved by one university. It
will require a conference effort."
Bailey said he thinks the
NCAA is moving in the direction
of stricter standards.
Admissions figures show that
the average ACT score for enter­ing
freshmen this fall was 23.2.
Information on the average ACT
score of student-athletes is confi­dential
and cannot be released,
Bailey said.
Associate Athletic Director
Oval Jaynes said he also agrees
with the faculty statement in
principle. But Jaynes said
changes would have to be made
conference wide.
"To keep competitive balence,
rules need to be fairly consist­ent,"
he said.
Auburn football center Jim
Thompson, a red shirt freshman,
said the statement is a good idea.
'They should make it a standard
not just in the SEC, but all across
the nation."
If everyone pulls together,
Thompson said, it could benefit
college football.

Southern accent drawls debate
By Tommy Wofford
Assistant News Editor
"Ah think Ah'll have a drink of
wautah."
Is the Southern accent soon to
be a thing of the past?
Two professors at Auburn
University recently debated the
point.
"The Southern accent is chang­ing,
but change doesn't imply
disappearance and that's what I
tried to point out," said Dr. Ann
' * W K ^ i « K « W ^ ,
Bradley
Pitts, an English professor whose
specialty is linguistics. She says
that the urbanization of the
South is producing Southern
urban accents, but that the dia­lect
isn't disappearing.
"There is enough regional
solidarity in the South, enough
people who think of themselves
as Southerners and enough
regional culture that will always
be reflected by a different
accent," said Pitts.
Dr. Bert Bradley, head of
Auburn's speech communication
department, agreed that the
Southern accent is changing, but
similarities ended there.
"The Southern accent is chang­ing,"
he said. "It's not the same
that it was 20 years ago, and it's
definitely not what it was 50
years ago."
Bradley cites World War II and
the G.I. bill as exposing Sou­therners
to different accents,
through the mingling of people
from different regions and
through an increase in educaton.
"An increase in the educational
level means that people are hear­ing
the tongue spoken differently
than in their home communities.
The people in the small towns in
the South are speaking a differ­ent
language," Bradley said.
The debate came about last
spring when a student in Pitts'
Introductory Linguistics quoted
Bradley as saying the Southern
accent would eventually disap­pear.
Pitts phoned Bradley,
asked him about the statement
and invited him to debate.
"The accent is not the same as
it was 100 years ago," said Pitts,
"and it will continue to change,
but it will continue to be different
as well. Some regions have
stronger self-images, the South
included.
"There are a lot of accents in
the United States, but most
people are not trained to hear
them. That's why most people
think there are so few. There are
something like 11 major regional
rural southern accent varieties
and 14 major urban Southern
accents, cities like Charleston,
Birmingham, Nashville."
Pitts mentioned such varieties
as mountain Southern, a plains
variety, a Gulf Coast variety,
several varieties in Virginia and
distinctions between the up-country
and low-country accents
of South Carolina as well as a
number of variations in Texas
and Louisiana.
Pitts sees less change in the
accent in recent years, while

form of student protest—T-shirts.
Stipe's idea about
the Tuition Buster shirts
grew out of the recently
approved tuition hike.
Stipe says h e is not protest­ing
t h e tuition hike, but the

m a x i m um of IS c l a ss

with Stipe have already
begun shelling out $6 a

Corbett says he won't resign
See ACCENT, A - l l
State Sen. Danny Corbett said
he will not resign and will appeal
his conviction for public
lewdness.
Corbett, 36, also said that he
will run for re-election after his
term expires in 1986.
The senator was found guilty
Nov. 12, in Auburn Municipal
Court of charges that he exposed
himself to Auburn student Kim
Stagg. He was fined $107.
The sentence was suspended
for 14 days and defense attorney
Bob Faulk said after the trial that
they would use the time to con­sider
an appeal.
Faulk said the case would be
appealed to the Lee County Cir­cuit
Court and a jury requested.
One basis for the appeal,
according to Faulk, will be the
admissibility of the testimony of
a surprise witness for the prose­cution,
which Judge Joe Bailey
allowed.
Auburn student Stephanie
Miller identified Corbett in the
courtroom as the man she had
seen "peering" in a window of her
apartment in Caroline Draughon
Village in May.
No charges were filed in that
incident.
With six of the 14 days remain­ing
Wednesday, no appeal had
been filed.

A blinding ball of fire streaks
across the sky with a great
"whoosh!" Ifthisishow you
imagine Halley's Comet, you are
in for a disappointment in the
1986 return.
Dr. Ron Jenkins, professor of
aerospace engineering at Auburn
Universtiy and vice-president of
the Auburn Astronomical
Society, said, "At this point, Hal-ley
looks like a tiny glow." Jen­kins,
along with Society
members and president Russell
Whigham, has been tracking
H alley since it was first sighted
here on Sept. 21.
The first sighting of Halley's
Comet was reported in the Shih
Chi and Wen Hsien Thung Khao
chronicles of China in 239 B.C.
Halley continued to appear every
76 years, but not until its appear-ence
in 1687 AD. did someone
realize the sequence.
Englishman Sir Edmund Hal-ley,
who studied work done by
Isaac Newton and Johann
Kepler, was the first to realize
that the same comet was reap­pearing
every 76 years. He was
also the first to predict that the
comet would reappear 76 years
later in 1759 which it did.
Halley was last seen in the
Western Hemisphere in 1910, and
was not especially bright then
either. In 1910, at its closest, Hal­ley
was 13 million miles from the
earth. In Halley's 1986 appear­ance,
it will be closest to the earth
in early April, and it will be 48
million miles from earth, — -v
Even if Halley appears to be a

Suicide rate among state's youth on the rise
By Bret Pippen
News Staff
Now, more than ever, young
people are committing suicide.
Between the years of 1950 and
1980, the suicide rate for 15 to 34-
year-olds went up 300 percent; the
suicide rate for the general popu­lation
went up 20 percent, accord­ing
to Dr. Steven Stack, a sociol­ogy
professor at the University.
In 1982 there were 28,242 sui­cides
nationwide with 5,025 of
those being 15 to 24-years-old,
according to Stack.
According to the Alabama
Vital Events forl984 compiled by
the Alabama Department of Pub­lic
Health, there were 465 suicides
in Alabama which makes suicide
the number nine killer in Ala­bama.
It is the number two killer
among Alabama's 15 to 19-year-olds.
• / - -
& V * s
Stack has been researching
suicide since 1976, has written
several articles on the subject
and is currently working on a
book concerning mass media and
suicide.
"The youth group is the most
pathetic group. When a 34-year-old
man commits suicide it's not
as shocking as a 15-year-old boy
committing suicide, because the
34-year-old has had many life
experiences such as marriage.
The 15-year-old hasn't even
reached first base," said Stack.
According to him, the vast
majority of the 15 to 34-year-olds
who commit suicide are in their
early 20s.
People who are suicidal, Stack
said, are, generally, more intro­verted
and are loners. They are
depressed all the time with a feel­ing
of pessimism toward the
future. They have a poor self con­cept
of themselves and are
wrapped up in their own
problems.
When a suicidal person com­mits
suicide it is usually on
impulse with no thought of the
consequences, he said.
In approximately one-third of
all suicides, there were no notes.
Dr. Edwin S. Shneidman con­ducted
an extensive study of
thousands of suicide notes in the
50s, Stack said.
Shneidman found that there
were two major patterns in the
notes. The first was the wish for
revenge.
Stack said Shneidman found
that these people usually didn't
have the nerve to commit homo-cide
so they commit suicide and

write something like, "You killed
me and I hope it haunts you."
The second pattern was the
wish to die. The person felt like he
was a burden, a nobody and had
nothing to offer. These are usu­ally
preceded by severe depres­sion,
Stack said.
There are three major reasons
for the shocking increase in the
suicide rate among this age
group, Stack said.
The first factor has to do with
; economic conditions. The labor
market facing young people has
deteriorated since the mid-1950s.
There is a larger amount of young
people entering the market than
middle-aged people which, in
part, is because of the "baby-boomer
effect," Stack said.
"You have had just about a mil­lion
college graduates entering
the labor market every year since
around the early 1970's," he said.
"There is an explanation cen­tered
around underemployment.
Underemployment is kind of
depressing; in the extreme, you
might have a Ph.D driving a taxi
cab."
Along with underemployment,
income aspirations have been
hurt.
"Like with the Ph.D driving the
taxi cab; he isn't making as much
money as he hoped so it's double
trouble," Stack said.
The second factor is changes in
the family. According to Stack,
the divorce rate in recent years
has gone way up which has
caused more. single parent
homes, remarriages and step­children
mixing in with "real"
children. Along with divorce
there is a period when the child­ren
have no father or mother.
"You have more mothers work­ing
in the labor force, so there is
an increase of latchkey children;
children who come home to an
empty house. These are pretty
dramatic changes," Stack said.
"It used to be that the father
would work and the mother
would be there and divorce was
sort of uncommon, but now
divorce is becoming just about
typical."
Stack said that the stress
involved with these changes in
the family have a lot to do with
the suicides, but there is more to it
than that:
Finally, there is the religion
based explanation.
"From the late 60s and 70s
right up through 1981 there was a
decline in church attendance
among young people of about 50
percent, " Stack said. "We think
that as a group becomes less reli­gious
they're more apt to commit
suicide because religion, if
nothing else, provides a fallback
or defense mechanism. Also, it
teaches against suicide.
"So there have been' three
major macro-trends in society in
the last 25 to 30 years which can
be connected to the rise in the sui­cide
rate of young people."
According to Stack the reason
for a youth committing suicide
cannot be attributed to any one
factor such as making an "F" on
a major exam or breaking up with
a girlfriend.
There has been a build-up over
the years of many things such as
depression, pessimism, stress
and loneliness and then a seem­ingly
unimportant event occurs
which could trigger the suicide.
According to Stack there has
got to be a recurrent theme in the
suicidal person's life habits
before he is labeled as a high risk.
One cannot just isolate breaking
up or failing a test.
However, anybody who has
had bad relations with their par­ents,
is a loner, is depressed and
then has something suddenly
traumatic happen in their life is
considered a high risk.
All the reasons you ought to move can be put into two words:
Brookes
Maybe you've been thinking about looking for a new place to live next quarter. Perhaps
you'd like more privacy to study and relax. Or perhaps the unfurnished apartment you
rented is still unfurnished, and you're tired of sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Or
maybe that five mile bike ride to campus has begun to get old, especially in the rain.
So if you're thinking about moving up
to hassle-free living convenience—
move to the one place in Auburn that of­fers
everything you're looking for. . .The
Brookes.
At The Brookes student condomin­iums
you'll find two-bedroom town-houses
with all the conveniences,
comfort, and amenities of a private
home.

State needs lottery
The possibility of the legislature
approving a lottery for Alabama
has people all over the state talking.
As usual, protesters of gambling
are up in arms about the prospect
while advocators of the idea are
c a m p a i g n i n g for s u p p o r t in
Montgomery.
Many of the big boys at Goat Hill,
including state superintendent of
education Wayne Teague, think a
lottery is just what the state of Ala­bama
needs.
And maybe it is. A lottery would
bring to Alabama more of t h a t much
needed commodity — money. Ticket
sales for the lottery would be taxed,
which would in turn bring in
hundreds of thousands of extra tax
money into the state each year.
Teague is endorsing the proposal
because much of the money would
help finance Alabama's public edu­cation
program, an area t h a t is hurt­ing
for money now. Teague thinks
this is the best way to get more
money for education because the
people who buy lottery tickets would
be paying taxes voluntary. Those
who do not support public education
have nothing to gripe about in this
situation.
As usual, the morality factor of
gambling will play a big role in the
future of a state lottery. Opponents
of gambling are already joining for­ces
to fight the legislation.
In this case, though, the morality
issue should not be t h a t big of a deal.
Alabama already has two dog
tracks and a horse track currently
under construction in Birmingham.
A lottery is tame compared to these.
But even people opposed to gam­bling
should not oppose this prop­osal.
A lottery will benefit the entire
state, not just one area as the race
tracks do, and quality education for
the state of Alabama is far more
important t h a n personal objections
to gambling.
But if the lottery is to b e a success,
the legislature needs to get to work
on it now. Both Georgia and Florida
are discussing lotteries, so Alabama
needs to move fast before either of
those states implement one and
start taking money away from the
Alabama.
Auburn students can be a help in
the fight to get a state lottery. Most
students probably feel far removed
from legislative action, but in a case
like this, one t h a t directly affects all
students' education, we can play a
role. Call or write your representa­tive
and let him know how you feel.
Input from the young people who
will be most affected by the lottery
will carry a lot of weight in
Montgomery.
Take down Wire lights
Almost everyone who has a car at
Auburn has at some time expe­rienced
the confusion of deciphering
the Christmas lights on Wire Road.
Okay, so they are not actually
Christmas lights. But that is defi­n
i t e l y what they look like to
drivers—all of those green and red
l i g h t s blinking unforgivably at
drivers, begging cars to go t h i s way
or that.
The lighted arrows were put up
last summer when Wire Road was
widened to three lanes to help direct
traffic on the overcrowded Wire
Road, but according to most drivers,
the lights are more of a hindrance
than a help. The lights are confus­ing,
especially to those who do not
drive the road regularly, and chaos
is created every time the green
arrows conflict with a red traffic
light at the Shug Jordan Parkway
intersection making it seem from a
distance that the red traffic light is
actually green.
Many accidents have occurred
since the lights were put up last
summer in an effort to control traffic
on Wire Road. University Police
Chief Jack Walton said, "In my
o p i n i o n , every a c c i d e n t t h at
happens out there is because of
those lights."
Walton would personally like to
see the lights removed, as would
many Auburn students and resi­dents,
because he thinks it would
help cut down on the number of
accidents.
Walton is meeting with members
of the administration and the high­way
department today to discuss
problems with the traffic arrows.
Maybe he can convince these people
that the lights are a nuisance.
There is a problem, though. A lot
of city money was put into widening
the road and implementing the ligh­ted
arrow plan. To remove them now
and leave a third lane with no use
would be a waste of taxpayers
dollars.
Perhaps the extra lane could be
converted into a turn lane. This
would alleviate a lot of congestion at
the intersection of Wire Road and
Shug Jordan Parkway and at the
entrances to the trailer parks, vet
school and condominiums along
that route.
Then maybe the lights could be
hung up downtown just in time for
the Christmas season.
Team deserves support
As the Tiger's regular football
season draws to a close, talks of bowl
games and AP and UPI rankings
are part of all students' conver­sations.
Many students seem disappointed
that Auburn will not win the
national championship as predicted
at the beginning of the year. Others
are upset t h a t we will not be going to
the Sugar Bowl this year and think
the Tiger's are "settling" for lesser
bowls.
Why all the glum faces on the con­course?
Why all the depression?
The Tiger's are by no means los­ers.
So we didn't beat Tennessee or
Florida. Think of all t he great teams
we did beat. Think about how those
teams feel. So we aren't going to the
Sugar Bowl. At least we are going to
a bowl. Besides, only two teams out
of a few hundred get to spend New
Year's Eve in New Orleans.

INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS
Move Alabama home game
The seemingly swift arrival of the Iron
Bowl and the accompanying trek to
Birmingham again raises the question
of whether Auburn should sign a con­tract
stipulating that the Tide-Tiger
classic be held in Bamaham every year
after the present contract between
Auburn and Alabama expires in 1987.
Auburn Athletic Director and head
football coach Pat Dye wants the Ala­bama
games, in which Auburn is the
home team, to be played on the Plains
starting in 1989 in the soon to be
expanded Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Alabama Athletic Director and head
football coach Ray Perkins has implied
that disaster, meaning an end to the ser­ies,
could strike as a result of Dye's
insistence to frolic with the Crimson
Tide on the Plains during Auburn's
home seasons.
Perkins naturally hopes to maintain
the battle grounds to the friendly con­fines
of Legion Field and has said the
Tide's home games with Auburn will
unfold in the stadium.
An Alabama state law, passed in 1947,
mandates the rivalry be staged once a
year and many observers have noted
that the lethargic Legislature could
intervene in favor of all series games
being fought at Legion Field.
Of course Birmingham area mer­chants
and Alabama alumni and some
Jefferson County Auburn graduates will
lead the charge against a switch of
venue for the contest every other year.
But the reasons for Auburn to desire a
change of game site far outweigh the
claims of football tradition, convenience
to fans and economic considerations of
Birmingham area businesses.
The overall aim is to win the game and
Auburn shouldn't settle for any situa­tion
that gives the team a disadvantage
every year.
You can bombard me with statistics
on how more Auburn alumni live in the
Birmingham area compared with Bama
graduates or any other worthless figure
you can conjure up, but Birmingham is
simply an Alabama town.
Bama plays at least three games a
year at Legion Field and local people
innately favor the Tide for economic and
other reasons.
The tremendous success of Alabama
football during Paul "Bear" Bryant's
years has secured an unshakeable fol­lowing
for the Tide around the Magic
City.
Restaurants, bars and other estab­lishments
are packed with Bama memo­rabilia,
which isn't a sin and the game
isn't played in a bar, but the facts hint to
the environment Auburn invades at
season's end. Also, it will take someone
from now until Auburn blocks two more
punts in one game against Bama to con­vince
me more Auburn fans attend the
classic than Bama partisans.
When Tiger placekicker Robert
McGinty missed the 42-yard field goal
near the end of last year's game it
seemed like at least 60 percent of the
crowd had just received a million
dollars.
Those aren't the benefits of being a
home team as we were last year.
Also, this year six of Alabama's 10
games prior to Nov. 30 will have been
played on artificial turf compared with
only two of Auburn's.
Alabama is therefore more accus­tomed
to performing on artificial turf
which has been a problem for Auburn in
the past.
Why then should we agree to meet
Bama in a city pulling* for Bama, on a
surface Bama is more familiar with, in
front of more Bama fans and in sur­roundings
Bama plays in at least three
times a year?
For Auburn to continue to play in
Birmingham every season after the con­tract
expires would be ridiculous for any
reason heard to date.
Let Alabama confront a true away
• game every other year as Auburn does
yearly on an unfamiliar surface and in
uncomfortable sureoundings.
Alabama can keep its home game in
Birmingham or move it to Cutbank,
Mont., but its absurd for Auburn to pre­tend
to be the home team in Legion
Field.
Fall's hopes dashed, onto winter
What has happened to fall quarter?
It seems like only yesterday that I was
all excited to get back into the swing of
things of September. I was actuallly
anticipating a spectacular football sea­son,
wonderful cool weather, and seeing
all of my friends who had the good sense
to go home for the summer.
Well, the spectacular football season
never quite came to pass, and at this
point in time, I am glad that I don't have
to fight for a seat in the stadium, watch
forlornly as the War Eagle girls and the
Plainsmen throw those shakers to only
their friends (whom I never happen to be
sitting around), and best of all, I'm glad I
don't have to wait for hours just to use
the stadium bathrooms!
Cool weather we have not had much
of. Just enough to have to call the land­lord
to turn the heat on and roast
marshmallows in the fire just once. I
have become the wardrobeless wonder
with all this unseasonal weather. My
winter clothes are too wintry, and my
summer clothes are too summery.
Maybe I'll just make cut-offs out of my
long Johns and wear those in lieu of my
white shorts.
I haven't seen many of my old friends
from last year either. Everyone is
embroiled in some passionate new rom­ance
or buried in books because they
lack one.
As I sit back and reflect over this past
quarter, I can't help but wonder what
happened to all those goals I set for
myself this quarter, and didn't seem to
achieve.
What happened to that 4.0 that I was
determined to get this quarter? Some­how
my good intentions to study on
weekends never came to pass; somehow
my good intentions to study on week-nights
rarely came to pass either. Oh
well, maybe next quarter.
Someone must have sabotaged my
bathroom scales. I know I didn't gain
that five pounds overnight and I haven't
eaten mushroom pizza enough nights to
get this fat. Someone also replaced my
full length mirror with one of those car­nival
ones, you know, the ones that
make you look as big as the barn.
This was the quarter that I was going
to do everything Victoria Principal
recommended in her book The Body
Principal. I got discouraged after the
first week when all those chest exercises
she does didn't give me the same results
she apparently has had.
Come to think of it, this was the quar­ter
I was going to not spend money frivo­lously
on such things as long distance
telephone bills. Ma Bell must really love
me by now. I was going to save my
money for worthwhile things, like
Christmas presents. I guess now I'll
have to make all of the presents I give
this year, which is saying a lot since I'm
not creatively inclined.
Well, to paraphrase the old cliche:
there's always next quarter.

Education answer to prejudices
Lee Ann
LANDERS
I was one of the lucky ones.
My parents tried their best not to put
prejudice ideas in my mind or vocabu­lary.
In my immediate family blacks
were not degraded.
Although I was not exposed to bigotry
in my home, I saw it in my school,
church, work place and in my extended
family. This is not something I'm proud
of, and in subtle ways I have tried to
change the attitudes of those around me.
I'm not saying I am above reproach, and
I'm not saying that I am without preju­dice.
I don't think anyone is. But I am
saying that I try my best to make up for
my short comings.
One thing that shocks me is the atti­tude
some people have at this University
concerning racial issues. These are not
people who are blatant in their discrimi­nation
of the black race. Subtleties run deepo
in bigotry. ^
"Why are there so many stories about
black people on the front page this
week?" one person asked me about the.
Nov. 7 issue.
"Why are there so many stories about
white people on the front page 99 percent
of the time? Because, my child, it is news
worthy," I said.
It doesn't matter if everything on the
front page is about the color purple; if it
is news worthy, and then it deserves to
be printed.
Subtleties seem to come in when quiet
exclusions are made. There is a meeting,
party or get together and the host or hos­tess
of the event may forget to invite the
black person.
Leaving people out, exclusion, is the
easiest form of discrimination.
One of the main problems of today is
an unwillingness to talk between the
'races.
When a white person and a black per­son
give each other a chance to become
friends colors seem to disappear. Who
thinks about the color of their friends'
skin. The only time I consider it is when
a friend of mine can lie on the beach and
get a tan and I come back looking like I
went to Alaska.
Through education, although adults
of today may still harbor prejudice feel­ings,
maybe people will learn to sup­press
their feelings of prejudice for the
other race and look into the heart and
soul of their fellow Americans and
human beings.
Many people who are prejudice simply
fear the unknown. They seem to be
afraid that the black race will take over.
"This has been the plan all along; it's a
communist plot," I've heard some people
say. .
Instead worrying about things that
will never come to pass why not work
toward something that is realistic. It
may be idealistic to ask for harmony
among all men. That may not be proba­ble,
but it is possible to treat everyone
with common decency and respect.
Give people a chance to achieve and
stretch their minds and most of the time
they will. But before this can happen one
thing must occur. The blindfold and the
color filters that block the mind's eye
must first be removed.
To slowly untie the knot that is hold­ing
the blindfold in place is the task and
challenge today's society must pay
closer attention to.

Police suffer ridicule
until their help needed
Once upon a time there was a little boy
named Johnny who, like many other lit­tle
boys, wanted to grow up to be a
policeman.
When he was four and a half, Santa
brought him a genuine plastic Fischer
Price police car and a big plastic badge.
When he and the other little boys played
cops and robbers, he was always the cop.
His parents swore his first complete
sentence was, "You have the right to
remain silent." He learned that right
after he mastered the phrase, "Freeze—
Police!" they said.
Once he got lost in the park in his
neighborhood. The sky was getting dark
and Johnny was getting scared until he
saw Officer Chandler. Officer Chandler
let Johnny wear his police hat, took him
down to the station and called Johnny's
mother.
By the time Johnny was eight, he had
worked his way up to match box police
cars with blue lights, tiny doors and a
trunk that really opened. He was an avid
fan of Adam 12, Dragnet and The
Rookies.
He planned to marry Angie Dickinson
when he grew up, and he even asked his
mother if he could shave his head and be
like Kojack.
By age 10 Johnny would set out for
school every day with his Mod Squad
lunch box. If anybody bothered him on
the playground, he would simply read
him his rights, verbatum, and turn to an
imaginary friend and say, "Book 'em,
Dano."
When Johnny was 13, his parents let
him stay up to watch Starsky and
Hutch, provided he had all his home­work
done. Johnny was always sure to
wave at the UPS truck, just in case part
of the S.W.A.T. team was on board.
For his 16th birthday, Johnny got a
shiny piece of plastic with his picture on
it and the keys to a green 1978 Chevette.
It was when he was taking Mary Anne
for a ride that he began to think maybe
he was wrong about policemen.
Mary Anne was very impressed. "I
didn't know a Chevette could spin gravel"*
like that," she said as they did an awe­some
Dukes of Hazzard U-turn.
That's when they saw the blue lights.
From that moment on, Johnny's atti­tude
toward policemen changed. He was
always willing to tell the story of the day
the state trooper hid and waited for him.
"And I was the slowest car on the road,"
he would say. "He must have been under
quota." '
Needless to say, Johnny didn't want
to be a policeman anymore. "After all,"
he said, "it can't be much fun to raid kids
parties just because the music is a little
loud. No one needs to sleep before 2 a.m.
any how. Cops always ruin everything."
Cops have changed since I was
younger, he thought. Sonny Crocket is a
communist, he decided, and Hill Street
Blues is a farce.
Johnny started college, planning to
become a computer engineer, but he
decided it would be more fun to get a job
at a Seven-Eleven in Panama City
where he could work at night and soak
up rays during the day.
One night a man with the panty hose
on his face and a gun in his hand came
in the store. Johnny had never been so
happy as when a squad car happened to
drive by in time to catch the robber. A
little gun fire was exchanged, but the
officer eventually handcuffed the guy
and took him off to the station.
"Gee, cops have changed since I was
younger," Johnny said to the desk ser­geant
as he sat in the station filling out
forms. "You guys were great tonight."
"We haven't changed," said the ser­geant,
"We have always been here to
help you. You're, the one who keeps
changing."
Russian trip suggests looking
at world's people as individuals
No litter. No Levi jeans. No laughing
in the streets. No roaming tourists. No
democracy.
Welcome to Russia.
With the Summit meetings in pro­gress,
and peace being sought between
the two nations, I think it's important
that we take a candid look at what the
Russian people are really like.
Four years ago, I learned an impor­tant
lesson about people. I learned that
people are not always as we have heard
them to be.
I traveled to Leningrad, Russia to play
in an exhibition soccer game. The Rus­sians
had never seen women play soccer
before.
I was scared to death. After all, I was
going into the "meanest, coldest, crud­est
country in the world." I thought that
everyone in Russia was mean and
unfriendly. I thought that there were no
churches. I thought I could tour the
sights alone, or with my friends.
Wrong on all accounts. The people in
Russia were very friendly. They even
smiled at us!
There were, indeed, churches in Rus­sia.
In fact, they were magnificent
cathedrals with archaic art, tiles and
sculptures. But, the Russian people have
no choice as to which church they
attend.
And, touring. The team and I were not
allowed to leave our American-tourist-only
hotel without a Russian tour guide.
That, they said, was for our own
protection—in case we got lost.
The sights were gorgeous. Gold leaf
statues, -fantastic art and sculptures
were everywhere.
But, Russia was not all glamour.
Though the people were friendly, they
seemed unhappy and scared.
If they smiled, they seemed to look
around as if they were being watched,
and would be punished if they were
caught smiling.
We passed by the grocery store one
day. It was nothing like an American
grocery store. People were lined up
around the corner, waiting to enter the
caged store. All the windows and the
door were barred. The food was being
rationed.
Food wasn't the only product that
Americans take for granted. Russians
don't have Levi jeans. One Russian
woman offered me $300 for my jeans!
Three hundred dollars!
That was tempting—very tempting—
but I didn't want to spend the rest of my
life behind Russian prison bars.
So, I learned a few lessons. I learned
about myself and my country. I learned
about Russians and their country.
The biggest lesson I learned was that
everyone is alike, and we all want the
same thing—to be happy.
The Russians have different restric­tions
on them compared to what the
Americans have. Notice the word
"different."
I am not a communist. Nor do I sup­port
their way of life.
I only want Americans to realize that,
until we actually see how the Russians
live, we shouldn't say how bad it is.
Movies don't show the true picture.
We are brainwashed as much as the
Russians are. Through movies, televi­sion
and even government classes, we
have formed a harsh attitude toward the
Russian people and everything they
believe in, or what they are "supposed"
to believe in.
So what? We don't see eye-to-eye with
the Russians, but we don't have the right
to call them all bad, cruel, unfriendly, or
war-hungry. Because they are not all
that way. In fact, I know some Ameri­cans
who are like that.
Maybe one day, we can start looking
at people as individuals and not as ste­reotypes.
Maybe we can begin to have
open minds—if we open our eyes. Maybe
that day will come in our lifetimes.
Until it does, though, I will still dis­agree
with the communist ways, but I
will always remember the Russian peo­ple
and respect them.
Because, after all,, people are people,
regardless of their race or creed.
Honorary seeks support for library
Editor, The Plainsman:
As members of Talons, Auburn's jun­ior
honor society, we have decided to
channel a major part of our year's activi­ties
toward establishing student sup­port
for the Auburn University library.
This is a crucial year in the fight to get
our library accredited. Dr. James Martin
has proposed that we have this done by
1990. In order for this to occur, we will
have to meet the standards of the Amer­ican
Association of Research Libraries.
This is going to require money in order
to do such things as properly staffing
the library, getting more journals and
books, and expanding the building to
hold these new books. The library has
received several million dollars this year
from various sources, including the
state, the Auburn Athletic Department
and the Board of Trustees.
This money, however, is not enough to
make the changes necessary for accred-idation.
We feel that student support is a
crucial element in obtaining the remain­ing
funds that are needed.
As students, we can do such things as
holding fundraisers and writing sena­tors
and trustees requesting additional
support.
We have already held a fundraiser and
have donated $400 of the money raised
to the library. We challenge all campus
organizations to support our library. It
is only through the efforts of involved
and concerned students that we can
insure that this important step in
Auburn's future development takes
place. Please do your part.

South Africa ripe for communists
Editor, The Plainsman:
.The fact that a bunch of do-gooders in
our Congress and on our campus want to
punish South Africa with economic
sanctions makes me sick. Maybe they're
just idealists, I don't know.
But for them to get in an uproar over
some racially discriminant policies that
our allies practice, while hostile nations
commit far worse crimes against
humanity, is just plain wrong.
We trade regularly with the Soviet
Union. They buy more grain from us
than anyone else in the world, and they
also commit mass genocide through the
use of chemical warfare in Afghanistan.
But you don't hear our liberal Con­gressmen
and columnists screaming
bloody murder over that, do you? At
least the folks in South Africa who want
to leave the country are free to do so. And
the fact that the U.S.S.R. is nothing but
a huge prison camp doesn't keep our left-wing
legislators from imposing grain
embargo.
I'll bet the mortgage that if we cut off
every bit of wheat we supply the Rus­sians
with, then they would be a lot
more conducive to negotiating some of
their inhuman policies.
And China! This one really gets me!
China, the same country that supplied
Viet Cong troops with weapons; China,
which forces women who already have
two children to have an abortion if they
get pregnant again-they're our buddies.
Yes, they are as communist as can be,
and now we decide that it's okay for us to
sell them billions of dollars worth of
nuclear technology. I am afraid that we
in the U.S. have this image of the Red
Chinese as some friends of ours who see
things differently than we do. Wrong.
China is communist, and China is our
enemy.
But South Africa is not our enemy. No,
it is a nation friendly to the United
States, and a country with which we
enjoy a healthy economic trade. But no,
we shouldn't buy Krugerands from
them, because they have some slack civil
rights policies.
Now consider this; if the white
government there is overthrown, which
country do you think will march right in
and take charge? I'll give you a hint, it's
the same bunch of goons that took over
in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Hungary, lar­gely
because we let them.
It is the same murdering swine that
shot down a Korean airliner and the
same ones who shot a U.S. Army lieut­enant
and watched him bleed to death.
But if they take over in South Africa, all
of the Kennedys and O'Neils and all the
other quasi-communists in Congress
will surely be glad to give them our busi­ness
then. You can bet on it. I think it's
disgusting.
In short, when I hear Siona Carpenter
wailing over the injustices in the Soviet
Union, I'll be satisfied.
One other thing to think about. In the
mid-1970s, the activists on our college
campuses, which the Plaihsmanso glori­fied
two weeks ago, said that things in
Iran just couldn't get a lot worse, and
they did.
Now, it's the same tune, only different
words. Nothing could be worse than
apartheid. Oh, but they can get worse,
and they're headed that way right now.

State law prohibits alcohol in stadium
Editor, The Plainsman:
We would like to address a situation
associated with Auburn University
football. After much has been said about
our attitude and conduct toward oppos­ing
teams, we feel this is an equally
important issue.
We feel that most would agree with us
in saying that rules are necessary to
insure orderly conduct. One such rule is
printed in the Auburn Football Illus­trated
as well as on every Auburn foot­ball
ticket. The football program states,
"State law prohibits the consumption of
alcoholic beverages on the Auburn cam­pus.
Intoxicating beverages are prohi­bited
at Jordan-Hare Stadium and on
stadium grounds."
We would first like to address the com­plaints
concerning the Pinkerton secur­ity
guards. These guards are employed
to enforce a state law. How can a person
be criticized for carrying out a job he or
she is payed to do? The belligerent ver­bal
and physical abuse hurled at these
men and women is childish.
Speaking of childish, we would like to
question the views expressed by Jody
Kamins of the Plainsman staff.
For one thing, her ideas about the dis­posal
of the confiscated liquor appear to
be totally unfounded. We also are dis­gusted
with her statement acknowledg­ing
the fact that it is against state law to
have liquor in the stadium. Why does
she even mention this? It apparently
doesn't bother her to break a state law. Is
it acceptable to violate a state law in the
interest of having so called "fun"? No! It
is sad to think one must drink alcohol in
order to enjoy a football game.

Elections director thanks students
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to thank those who
remembered to vote in the Homecoming
Election held on Nov. 7,1985. The turn­out
was slightly larger than the 1984
turnout.
This election could not have been held
without the help of the many students
who worked the polls. It was very encou­raging
to see how many students cared
enough to volunteer for such a thankless
job. Many of these students worked not
only their shift, but also the shifts of
those who did not show up. I would like
to thank each and every one of you for
your time and effort.
The elections committee has already
started to work towards spring elections
and any student who would like to know
more about these elections is free to con­tact
me at the SGA office.

Military AIDS examination necessary move
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is in response to Michael
Hicks letter of Nov. 14, "Military AIDS
examinations unnecessary reaction to
fear."
First I wish to correct Hicks' medical
inaccuracies and secondly convince him
why the military should stay her present
course.
While it is true that the HTLV 3 anti­body
test solely detects the HTLV 3
antibody, what Hicks neglects to say is
that this antibody is produced exclu­sively
in the presence of the HTLV 3
virus, the virus isolated as the cause of
AIDS.
The virus can be obtained only
through actions that include blood
transfusions. Most AIDS cases in the
United States are the result of either
intimate Greek homosexual contact or
intravenous drug users. The U.S. mil­itary
wishes to include neither drug
users nor homosexuals in her ranks.
The military has for years had a
vigorous anti-drug program, but is now
confronted with far more dangerous
problem—AIDS.
She has chosen to test all active duty
personnel and incoming recruits. An
advantage to recruit testing is that if the
recruit tests positive at the recruit level,
the military can release him with no
financial obligation for his health care,
at an immense savings to the military.
The purpose of military health service
is to make a person fit to return to duty, a
goal that cannot be accomplished with
dying AIDS victims.
Hicks asks if it is really necessary to
innoculate all new recruits. Most mil­itary
personnel serve overseas at some
time, but Hicks ignores this salient fact,
believing instead that mass innocula-tions
are not needed.
No, they're not necessary, the military
would rather allow yellow fever, chole-rea,
typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis, beri
beri, sleeping sickness and other perni­cious
diseases to debilitate her ranks
, rather than risk infecting AIDS victims
with innoculation viruses their
depressed immune systems may not be
able to fight off . .
Not fivinf innoculations would be
protecting the few instead of the many.
Moreover, the effect of not doing any­thing
could prove crippling to troop
morale.
The knowledge that a fellow soldier
may, no matter how small the chance,
have AIDS and that this disease could
be obtained through a combat situation
by direct blood transfusion, could intro­duce
another element of fear into the
mind of an already terrified soldier.
There is also the sociological concern
that the aura of machismo and bravura
that permeates the military service are
anathema to homosexuals and that
most military personnel have an
extreme dislike of homosexuals in
"their" service.
Hicks is correct in saying that the mil­itary
has a long record of discharging
homosexuals from the service. Ameri­can
troops back up their system,
shouldn't the system back up them?
Several eminent scholars say that one
of the main reasons for our loss in Viet­nam
was the low morale of the troops.
Do we as a country want to lose
another war because of AIDS in the
ranks?

Number of contests becoming ridiculous
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am dismayed by the ever increasing
number of asinine activities for women
on the Auburn campus.
The number of beauty contests (Miss
Rush Week, Miss Homecoming, Miss
Glomeirata, Miss War Eagle, Miss Greek
Week, Miss A-Day, Miss Auburn and
recently Miss Hey Day), and hostess
groups in sports (Diamond Dolls,
Spikettes, Splashers, Trackers,
Tigerettes and recently Dunking
Darlings) and in ROTC (Capers,
Kadettes, Mariners, and Angel Flight),
are unbelievable for a university which,
strives for academic excellence.
If you are truly interested in a sport,
then try out for a team, participate in
intramurals, or buy season tickets.
Rather than being an ROTC hostess, get
an ROTC scholarship so that you can
have a job upon graduation.
Of what use is a pageant or hostess
position to your future career? Could you
place these "experiences" on your
resume and expect to enhance your job
prospects? You can develop more useful
skills by joining clubs associated with
your major than by joining in these
demeaning activities.
Refuse to participate in these mean­ingless
contests and instead concentrate
on intellectual pursuits, the true idea of a
college education.

Editor, The Plainsman:
* The Student Government Association

articulation and language.
When co-author Dr. Lon L.
Emerick, who was Haynes' pro­fessor
during his undergraduate
days at Northern Michigan Uni­versity,
began work on the third
edition, he sought the. collabora­tion
of his former student.
Haynes' expertise in the areas of
child language learning, articu­lation
and voice disorders was
an important factor in Emerick's
invitation for co-authorship.
The two men worked together
for the past two years on the text.
Haynes said writing a textbook
is quite different from writing
the scientific reports which he
has published because the text
does not follow the scientific for­mat
that is required of technical
reports.
Many of the topics discussed in
Diagnosis and Evaluation in
Speech Pathology are supported
with short highlights which
illustrate specific examples of the
ideas presented in the chapter.
These highlights are intended to
give the student an "over the
shoulder view" of a speech
pathologist at work.

Stricter fire drills needed for campus buildings
By Matt Mathis
News Staff
Flame and toxic smoke may
present a greater threat to stu­dents
than they believe. Campus
buildings are not a "fire trap,"
but "problems can arise," said
Hubert Carmack, planning and
code enforcement inspector for
the city of Auburn.
The inspector said that in evac­uating
Haley Center "you could
run into a disaster there." An
evacuation could be triggered by
a fire, tornado, or a toxic cloud
blowing from Auburn Universi­ty's
chemical waste holding
facility.
Alabama state law requires fire
drills in campus housing, but not
in classroom buildings. Inspector
Carmack said when conducting
fire drills in dorms the "alarm
goes off and people sit around like
another day, another dollar."
Students should realize that
when the alarm goes off "it has
only one meaning."
Carmack, emphasizing the
need for drills in classroom build­ings,
said, "why not take a few
minutes for something that
worthwhile?"
The inspection of campus
buildings to see that they comply
with fire safety codes is the
responsibility of the state fire
marshall. The city is responsible
for inspecting off-campus hous-
Talladega Mayor Barton
campaigns for morality
By Kim Best
News Editor
Campaigning to cut out waste,
increase morality, and put fiscal
responsibility back into state
government, Larry H. Barton,
mayor of Talladega, visited
Auburn's campus Wednesday.
Barton is the only Republican
candidate running for Governor
of Alabama at the present time.
Guy Hunt, the 1978 Republican
gubernatorial candidate, has
indicated that he might although
he has not yet declared his
candidacy.
Confirmed Democratic oppo­nents
include Lt. Governor Bill
Baxley and former Lt. Governor
George McMillan.
"I feel like a lot of morality
issues will be brought in next
year's election," said Barton, cit­ing
the lottery, parental notifi-caton
for abortions, and prayer in
schools as some of the issues.
Barton opposes a state lottery
because of the potential to drain
low income families of money
needed to support the family that
might be spent on buying lottery
tickets.
"I feel Alabama is being finan­cially
raped," said Barton, "we
need to be more concerned about
Alabama and stop promoting
other states and countries."
We need to stop spending
money on all these overseas-junkets
and spend the money on
industry at home, he said.
Barton does not propose any
tax cuts if he were elected gover-

nor but does feel that if waste in
government was cut out, the
money saved would keep taxes
from increasing.
"We've got a majority in the
legislature who are more con­cerned
with making deals than
with ideals," said Barton.
Barton believes that Alaba­ma's
labor image is a liability
and has caused a "brain drain"
from state universities. "We are
losing a lot of people because no
jobs are available," he said. Ala­bama
has the third highest
unemployment rate.
Barton has been Mayor of Tal­ladega
since 1979, and has been
involved in a number of business
ventures.
ing from reviewing the original
plan to yearly inspections of the
finished units.
Fire safety inspections of
Auburn University have uncov­ered
such problems as poorly
stored laboratory chemicals and
a cancer causing chemical spilled
in a stair-well, Carmack said.
In one instance jars of ether
were left uncapped in a lab. Ether
fumes can be setoff by something
as simple as "a spark from just
combing your hair," Carmack
said.
In another incident an inspec­tion
uncovered a spilled can of
PCB in a stair-well. PCB is a
highly inflammable, cancer-causing
substance.
Auburn University's chemical
waste facility presents a threat to
students and other residents of
Auburn because fumes from the
burning chemicals could cause a
disaster, Carmack said.
The site where used chemicals
from the University are stored is
located next to the poultry
science buildings which look
down on Tucker's on U.S. 29. It is
less than a mile from dorms J and
K and a little more than a mile
and a half from Haley Center.
The buildings which hold the
chemicals were constructed
before World War II. The wooden
stuctures, which resemble the
barracks in Hogan's Heroes, were
used to house German POW's
during World War II.
Charles H. Ray, Jr., assistant
safety officer for the University,
said evacuation in the case of a
fire at the facility would depend
"on which way the wind is
blowing."
Ron Kriel, safety officer for the
University, said chlorine gas,
which would be generated by a
fire, has the ability to travel long
distances. Chlorine gas is an
extemely deadly substance.
Chemicals taken to the facility
stay for a year on the average. It
takes a year to collect 80 55-
gallon drums. Each drum holds
15 gallons of chemicals and a fire
retardent substance. Eighty
drums is the amount needed for
one truck load. The chemicals are
hauled to, a chemical waste land
fill in west Alabama.
Many of the drums of
chemicals sit outside between
two of the buildings. One of the
buildings in the row which makes
up the facility contains grain,
and hay is stacked a short
distance away, increasing the
danger of a fire.
Inspector Carmack said it is
difficult to get the chemicals
moved because of the liability
assumed by whoever handles
them.
Carmack said the city is
"spread a little thin" in inspect­ing
existing housing and new
units being constructed. Since
housing units may only be
inspected yearly, tenants must
take responsibility for their own
safety.
"People will unplug smoke
detectors because they are an
inconvenience," Carmack said.
The minimum required by the
building safety code is a smoke
detector outside sleeping-areas.
The inspector said detectors
should be placed in bedrooms
because smoke can be concen­trated
to the point "where one
breath will get you."
Students create an obstacle to
the fire department when they
block fire lanes. Carmack said
many students feel that the fire
department takes pleasure in
hassling students and enjoys
the profit generated by the $25
fine for blocking a fire lane.
Carmack said safety, not
profit, is the motive behind the
costly fine. "We've had to put a
sheet over a body or put them in a
plastic bag. You don't ever forget
those chores," the inspector said.
Carmack served as an Auburn
fireman for most of 25 years
before moving to the position of
safety inspector.
In the past 25 years, two
Auburn students have died in
fires. One student died in a fire in
the SAE house on February 19,
1966. Another died in a fire in
Dorm B on April 24,1973.
Students who would like to
learn about fire safety and learn
how to use a fire extinguisher can
take a course offered by Continu­ing
Education. The course runs
on a monthly basis and is open to
25 students at a time.

Cracking down
Faculty Senate strengthens honesty code
By Chris Roush
News Staff
After much discussion and
hard work, the Auburn Univer­sity
Faculty Senate approved a
new academic honesty code last
week.
The new code must be accepted
by the SGA and President James
Martin before it can be
implemented.
Greg Jeane, Chairman of the
Academic Honesty Committee,
said, "It's even stronger than the
other one in terms of procedurally
strengthening the code."
Jeane said that he has asked
SGA President John Stein that
the honesty code go on the SGA
docket for Dec. 2, and that he
hoped to get it on Dr. Martin's
desk before Christmas.
Jeane also added that he hoped
the SGA would not pick the code
apart and try to dissect it word for
word. If the SGA requests any
changes, then Jeane said, "The
code would have to be sent back
to the Honesty Committee and
passed again." But Jeane said
that since the University counsel
has seen the document there
shouldn't be a major legal prob­lem
in implementing it.
Both the SGA and the Faculty
Senate have to agree on the code
before Martin approves it,
'One for the road'
replenishes vitamins
according to Jeane, who hoped
that they could get the code
approved and working sometime
early winter quarter.
Jeane said, "What we are work­ing
to incorporate into this that
was approved by the Senate last
week is somewhat a consequence
of the events that took place last
spring." Jeane was referring to
the cheating scandal that took
place at Auburn last year.
The main reason in the
changes are what Jeane called
the "14 points." "These are 14
legalistic points raised by the
University counsel about this
document," said Jeane.
"Sometime between March and
June, Mr. Thomas Samford sent
Dr. Martin these points and
that's how the revision currently
under review by the SGA and
Martin came about."
"The 14 points he raised were
good points," said Jeane. "The
old document should have been
reviewed by him before it was put
into effect. Part of what we're
doing is compensating for not
having the old one reviewed by
counsel."
Jeane, who joined the commit­tee
this summer, added that they
wanted to avoid a situation with
the new one that happened with
the old one.
Of the 14 points raised by Sam-ford,
Jeane said the committee
decided to incorporate 13 of them
in some manner into the new
code.
"The only point of disagree­ment
between the committee and
the University lawyer we did not
adopt is a provision for counsel
for the student who is charged.
The rationale behind that exclu­sion
is that the committee feels
our job is an in-house review and
not a trial."
Jeane added, "I think the main
concern in this revision process
was to insure that due process
was guaranteed. We believe we
have exceeded the minimum
requirements of due process."
"The committee feels it is better
run confidentially between the
three parties and we hope that it
will be approved. Cases in court
have upheld this procedure and
due process in this case means a
fair trial, not a lawyer."
When the Academic Honesty
Committee receives a report, it
determines whether a violation
has occurred.
The committee then has to
recommend sanctions. The deci­sion
about whether to uphold
sanctions is made by the Vice
President of Academic Affairs,
Warren W. Brandt. The commit­tee
does not make the decision
and there is an appeals procedure
spelled out in the code.

Assistant News Staff
Proclaiming it replenishes nut­rients
that alcohol, caffeine,
smoking and stress take from the
body, an Auburn-based company
has launched an advertising
campaign that has many people
curious about its product.
i "ONE FOR THE ROAD" is the
campaign slogan Magnum Mar­keting,
Inc., has flown from
banners at football games,
placed in the classified ads in the
Plainsman and put on handbills.
Although the campaign has
been strong for the last two
weeks, many students don't
really know what the product is
for. One misconception, said co-founder
Ron Haaland, is that the
non-alcoholic drink will make
sobriety come faster so a person
can drive.
"This is in no way a claim that
this product will make a person
sober in a shorter length of time,"
Haaland, who earned a Ph.D in
genetics and biochemistry from
New Mexico State University,
said. "It is a tremendous han­gover
helper. If you take the pro­duct
you more than likely won't
have a hangover," Haaland
added.
Haaland, who was a professor
here from 1974 until 1980, said he
does not feel the ad campaign is
misleading, but a'University
bookstore employee disagrees.
"Everyone who comes up to the
candy counter asks if the product
will make him sober if he's been
drinking a lot," Caroline Smith
said.
Because "One for the road" is
made from all natural products
and it replaces water soluble
vitamins, Haaland said it has
better energy boosts and pain
relievers than caffeine or aspirin.
"Caffeine is a drug. Instead of
really giving you energy what it
does is irritate the nerve endings.
And aspirin only masks symp­toms,
it doesn't do anything for
them."
Founded a year ago, Magnum
Marketing, Inc., has moved into a
national marketing and distribu­tion
phase with "One for the
road" being sold in Ohio, Minne­sota,
Michigan and Atlanta,
Haaland said.
But the advertising campaign
that was kicked off here home­coming
weekend is a new promo-

"Students are usually a little

market it to colleges and univer-isties
nationwide since it is a
health drink."

Accent- -continued from A-l
Bradley expects the eventual
disappearance of the Southern
distinction in as little as 20 years.
Bradley says that the exposure
of Southerners to other varieties,
together with a higher degree of
education makes the accent open
to change. "The contact makes a
difference. It depends on how
long you're exposed to it and
other factors. When we lived in
Virginia, our daughters were
playmates with boys from New
Jersey and when we'd call my
mother, she'd say 'Why do they
talk like Yankees?' and my wife
and I hadn't noticed. It had been
gradual."
Bradley talked about an
isolated island in North Carolina"'
and how the natives spoke
differently than the people from
the mainland. When modes of
regular transportation were
developed, the differences
quickly disappeared.
"One thing a person doesn't
want to be is a linguistic
foreigner. Every time you open
your mouth it shows how
different you are," he said.
Bradley doesn't think that
Southern loyalty will preserve
the accent. "I don't think there's
a lot of difference between
peoples. Prior to World War II,
the South was a different place,
poverty stricken, uneducated.
Uneducated people can't deal
with complexity and complexity
is dealing with people you don't
know. The South was clannish,
because they didn't understand
outsiders because they didn't
have contact with them."
Pitts has different opinions on
the effect of education on accents.
"We have an unconscious belief
in America that anything that's
not classy and the best educated
possibility is going to be wiped
out because we believe strongly
in progress and.education. The
Southern accent is not tradition­ally
viewed as a prestigious
. accent.
"We're real snobs when it
comes to accents."
Pitts says that our society
equates speech variety with
intelligence, and that intelligent
people don't always abandon
their native dialect.
"There are complicated
personal reasons why people
change dialects. Just because
people hear a new dialect doesn't
mean they're going to imitate it.
Some people want to demonstrate
solidarity with where they come
from and will keep a dialect."
Pitts agreed that most people
will adapt their dialect in
surroundings that require it, but
added that people will store the
native accent for future use in
more informal occasions. "The
human brain is capable of great
adaptability."
"Every idividual is going to
have a certain mixture of
aspirations and a picture of self-identity
they want to project.
Some people will derive prestige
from sounding the way they do.
Southerners still feel a lot of
regional identity that is
reinforced with the accent and
with the culture."

Bradley pointed to modern
media of radio and television as a
factor in his expectations of the
fall of the Southern accent. The
Midwestern dialect was chosen
decades ago as the standard
dialect on radio broadcasts
because it was the dialect
recognizable by the largest
number of people. Today
everyone is exposed to this
dialect consistently on mass
media.
"Media has an impact. When
you put all these things together,
the media, the educational level,
the people moving in from other
areas, you change the dialect.
"I think what you're going to
see in this country eventually isa
fairly uniform dialect. The
country is too unified now. You
can't hide anymore."
"The home, friends and other
social networks have far more
influence on a person's speech
than what is heard on television
or radio," said Pjtts. "An
example is the unemployed black
person who watches a lot of
television. They don't stop using
black English, which is a form of
the Southern accent. Black
English is getting stronger."
As for Bradley's implication
that the influx of new people into
the South is changing the accent,
Pitts said there is anecdotal
evidence that Northerners are as
likely to change their accent as
Southerners.
"They are as likely to acquire a
Southern-type accent as vice-versa.
The burden is on the
individual coming into a new
region to adjust his or her speech
to the norm, and there are local
Bowl- —
the guards, the fence and the
natural barrier provided by the
four foot wide hedge, said
Shaffer.
Stadium officials have only
had to worry about the tradi­tional
victory celebration one
other time this year, when Geor­gia
suffered a rare opening game
loss at home to Alabama.
Auburn has defeated Georgia
at Samford Stadium four times in
Southern norms."
Bradley and Pitts have a
common interest in the subject
and both were eager to make
points to support their percep­tions.
The inherent interest of the

continued from A-l
the past five years. The Tigers
have beaten the Bulldogs three
consecutive years.
The impressive 24-10 victory
over Georgia and a complex deal
struck between the Cotton Bowl,
Iowa, Ohio State, Auburn and the
Citrus bowl have placed the Tig­ers
in position for one of three
bowl games.
Depending on the scenario,
Auburn could find itself in the
Cotton Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl,
both played on New Year's day,
or the Florida Citrus bowl, played
on Dec. 28.
Whether the Tigers will go to
the Cotton Bowl will be deter­mined
Nov. 23. If Iowa defeats
Minnesota and Michigan beats
Ohio State, Auburn fans can
make their reservations in

Shula, Bo headline 50th 'Iron Bowl'
By C h r i s Roush
A s s i s t a n t S p o r t s Editor
After beating Georgia and Southern Miss respec­tively,
Auburn and Alabama are now ready to
square off in the 50th "Iron Bowl" Nov. 30 in Bir-m
i n g h a m a f t e r h a v i n g t h i s w e e k ­end
off.
Alabama, coming off a 24-13 victory against
Southern Miss, looks to improve on their 29-19-1
advantage in the series. The Crimson Tide upset the
Tigers 17-15 last year when an Auburn victory
would have sent them to the Sugar Bowl.
The Tide is lead by Ray Perkins, who is in his
third year as Bear Bryant's replacement. Perkins,
who was 5-6 last year, has improved Alabama's
record to 7-2-1 this year and has a 20-12-1 overall
record.
After starting off the seasor. with four victories,
Alabama stumbled with losses to Penn State (19-17)
and Tennessee (16-14). They have recovered with
victories over Memphis State, Mississippi State and
Southern Miss, and a 14-14 tie to LSU.
Alabama's schedule has been murderous this
year. Before the Southern Miss game, Crimson Tide
opponents had posted a 60-29-7 mark for a .661 win­ning
percentage.
The Alabama multiple offense is led by quarter­back
Mike Shula. The junior was ranked the No. 1
passer in the nation before the Southern Miss game.
Shula has completed 124 of 199 passes this year for
1,814 yards and 16 touchdowns, while being inter­cepted
only seven times.
Shula's favorite receiver is junior transfer Albert
Bell. The speedy 6 foot, 170-pounder has caught 33
passes from Shula this year for 556 yards and nine
touchdowns.
The Crimson Tide has spread out the running
duties this year between several players. However,
freshman Gene Jelks has made the most of his play­ing
time in the last three games and-has won a
starting position.

The 1985-86 edition of Auburn
Tiger basketball opens the regu­lar
season tommorrow night in
Hartford, Conn., in' the first
round of the Big Apple NIT.
It is the only 16-team tourna­ment
in basketball, and this is
the first year the NIT has been
held at the beginning of the sea­son.
The tournament committee
picked one team from each con­ference
that they thought would
be the best t h a t conference had to
offer.'
Coach Sonny Smith said t h a t it
will be a great challenge to take
his team, ranked ninth in the
nation, to play in the first presea­son
NIT, and he is happy to be
representing the SEC.
West Virginia will be the oppo­nent
Friday at 8 pirn., and the
winner of t h a t game will advance
to play the winner of the St.
John's-Navy game on Sunday.
The winner of that game will go
Photography: jay Sailors o n to play in the Final Four in
Madison Square Garden in New
York.
"West Virginia has four star­ters
returning from last year,"
Smith said. "They are a well
coached, good shooting team."
Auburn beat the Mountaineers
last year 59-58 in Morgan town to
become, one of the few teams to
have won there in the last seven
years.
The Tigers will play West Vir­ginia
again on Dec. 3 in Auburn,
after the NIT is over.
Other nationally ranked teams
in the NIT are Louisville, Day­ton,
UAB, Duke, Washington
and Kansas.
While getting ready to make
the trip to Hartford, the Tigers
played an exhibition game with
Marathon Oil last Thursday. In
front of more than 6,000 fans
Auburn ran wild to a 81-67 win.
"I was not pleased with the way
we beat Marathon Oil with fast
break basketball,". Smith said.
"We can't be a one dimentional'
team. We left out sound defense
and our half court game:"
Smith said that Auburn can't
beat the good teams by playing
fast break basketball, but he was
pleased that Auburn won even
though it didn't play its type of
basketball. "That does indicate
that we might be stronger t h a n I
thought we were."
Auburn plays its first home
game a g a i n s t B i r m i n g h am
Southern Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in
Memorial Coliseum.
Smith urges all students and
fans to come out and watch his
team that is ranked ninth in the
country.
"It's a once and a lifetime shot"
for Southern, Smith said. South­ern
went to the finals of the NAIA
l a s t year after winning the
Southern States Conference.

Lady Tigers start promising season here Monday
By C h r i s Roush
A s s i s t a n t S p o r t s Editor
On the Auburn basketball
team that won 25 games last
year, one of the leading players
first name is Charlene.
No this is not the men's team,
which won three less games. The
women's team also won more
than 20 games last year and went
to the NCAA tournament.
One of the leading players on
this team is junior Charlene
Thomas. She doesn't have the
recognition or the statistics of
Chuck Person, but she holds the
same position as Person, co-captain,
on a team which is
headed again for the NCAA
tournament and a possible SEC
Championship.
But to Thomas, the position of
co-captain is nothing that will
change the way she plays. "It's
just a title," said the junior for­ward.
"I'm playing the same as I
was last year. It's a team effort
and there's no big difference."
The big difference is the return
of four starters, plus the addition
of freshman Ail-American Vicki
Orr, which gets Thomas excited
to the start of the season. "I'm
looking forward to it. We're try­ing
to get our defense together
and we're also trying to get work
on a few plays that we need to
work on."
Defense is one of the strong
points in the Lady Tigers game
plan, and Thomas is one of the
reasons. Last year she had 47
steals and 24 blocked shots. Her
blocked shot total was second on
a team which has been rated No.
1 in SEC defense four out of the
last five years.
As a sophomore last year,
Thomas averaged 9.9 points a
game on 56 percent field goal
shooting. She showed what kind
of defensive player she can be by
averaging 7.4 rebounds a game.
Her high was against Tennessee
in the SEC championship game
when she pulled down 13
rebounds.
The season gets under way
against Central Florida on Nov.
25, and the Takoma Park, Md.,
native is ready for the SEC race
this year.
. . . . . . . •
"We have a pretty good
chance," said Thomas. "But it
seems like all the other good SEC
teams are ranked high also."
Auburn has never been ranked
i,n the preseason before, but this
year the Lady Tigers are ranked
eighth by the Associated Press,
mainly on the showing of the
teams oustanding performance
last year and the presence of Orr.
But to Thomas the polls really
don't mean anything. "I don't
really like to go on the polls
because it's just one on one situa­tion
when you play teams and
you never know what's going to
happen."
The NCAA is not that impor­tant
r
