Minorities
visit campus
this weekend
By Siona Carpenter
Assistant News Editor
A concert date with Tina
Turner and a trip to the Auburn-
East Carolina football game are
two of the highlights of the Uni­versity's
third annual Minority
Weekend this year. More than
200 high school students are
scheduled to participate.
This year also marks the first
year there has been additional
homecoming programs for
Auburn's minority alumni. Many
of the programs will overlap. Deb
Liddell, coordinator for special
programs, said "I think it's an
excellent opportunity for network­ing."
The weekend, she said, will

an excellent o'pplttunity to
v meet role models:*•'• -"¥--^" *
While on campus, high school
students will have a chance to
discuss job opportunities with
alumni who majored in their
.prospective curriculums.
Stella Williams, who got her
doctorate degree in fisheries in
1983, made the longest trip, tra­veling
from Nigeria" to celebrate
homecoming on the Plains.
Harold Franklin, Auburn's
first black student and Bessie
Hollo way, the last addition to the
Board of Trustees, are also sche­duled
to attend this weekend.
Minority alumni will also be
given the opportunity to get
involved with the black student
organizations on campus, Liddell
said.
"I hope they'll see that there
have been a lot of programs and
changes instituted here since
they left," Liddell said.
High school students will be
housed by currently enrolled stu­dents
during their two-day stay
in Auburn.
Taking part in the program
means upperclassmen are com­pletely
responsible for the 17 and
18-year-olds, but most of the stu­dents
who were asked agreed to
participate, said Dru Welch of the
admissions office.
"It means giving up their wee­kend,
but it has worked out so
far," said Welch. "Without the
students, this program couldn't
work."

Durr cites new struggles

Foster Durr, the incredible supremacist," Durr sai
woman whose campaign to bring
eqUal rights to women and blacks
has spanned nearly 50 years.
"Today there is an unrest and a
great dissatisfaction for jobs,"
Durr said. "In Montgomery, Ala.,
young black unemployment is
something like 50 to 60 percent.
Crime is up, and the jails are full.
It's frightening."
The 82-year-old Alabama
native, who in her life has been
called a civil rights heroine and a
communist sympathizer, spoke
here Sunday about her new book
Outside the Magic Circle, the
autobiography just completed
after ten years.
Pebble Hill, the old Scott-
Yarbrough house recently con­verted
to the Center for the Arts
and Humanities, provided the
background for Durr who, with
her white hair pulled high on her
head and speaking in a clear
drawl, looked like a kindly
Southern grandmother about to
entertain.
never occurred to him that black
people were not there for his con­venience.
I was brought up that
way too."
"The South has sort of a ruling
class, you could say, that more or
less sets the tone," Durr once
said. "If you go against it, as I did
on the issues of segregation, you
find yourself outside the dosed
circle... And the enemy wasn't a
foreign foe, but your father, your
brother your aunt and uncle and
so on."
"I never felt like I was a radi­cal,"
she said. "It always sur­prised
me that people didn't
believe the same thing I did."
Women's rights were her prim­ary
goal, but in her quest for that
goal Durr said she came to realize
the need for equal rights for
blacks. "I realized that nobody
can be free unless everyone is
free."
Durr discovered that the poll
tax was a barrier to poor whites
as much as it was to whites when
she tried to register to vote follow­ing
her marriage to attorney Clif­ford
Durr.
"Registrations, poll taxes,
rything was designed to keep
you from voting," said Durr.
"Trying to vote in Virginia was
like trying to get to heaven," she
said, recalling the time she and
her husband spent in that state.
After a move to Washington
D'.C, Durr joined Eleanor Roose­velt,
Mary McLeod Bethune and
others in a national campaign
against the poll tax.
When Rosa Parks was arrested
following her refusal to yield a
bus seat in Montgomery, an act
ithat set off that city's bus boy­cott,
it was the Durrs who accom­panied
E.D. Nixon when the civil
rights leader bailed Parks out of
jail.
Durr, who is the sister-in-law of
the late Supreme Court Justice
Hugo Black, and her husband led
Freedom Riders camp in their.
home during the '60s.
It was during this time, Durr
said, that she received phone
calls in the night demanding that
she go back where she'd come
from.

The Black Student Action
Committee (BSAC), in associa­tion
with the Anti-Apartheid
Coalition, is discussing sending a
letter to the administration ask­ing
them to reveal information
concerning investments in South
African companies, according to
Mark Long, chairman of the
Anti-Apartheid Coalition.
One of the main problems dis­cussed
during the BSAC meeting
Monday was what to do with the
information once it is acquired.
Edward Scott, a BSAC member

with how
this information
will help Auburn
black students
except for the
reason that they _ _ _ _ ^ _ __
have compas­sion
with conditions in South
Africa.
"I don't see how it can help
blacks directly on campus," said
Scott. But in the meeting, BSAC
President Chris Lee said, "That's
not the issue."
"I really can't see a problem
getting it because it's public
information. Personally, I would
like to know.'From the discussion'
today, we want to make people
aware."
"We need to let the University
know we're aware that they have
holdings in these companies, and
that we're not particularly happy
about it."
Scott added that "we want to
stay neutral. It won't be BSAC
against Auburn or black students
against Auburn or just students
against Auburn."
BSAC discussed what they will
do with the information once it is
acquired. They want to make
black students at Auburn more
aware of the companies with
investments in South Africa and
asking them not to patronize
them.

Limousine rolls on plains
Du'Van shifts business into high gear
By Dara P a rr
Features Editor
For most university students
transportation is a necessity,
whether the wheels are on a car,
bike or skateboard.
One building science junior's
wheels however are rolling into
money and r a i s i n g a few
eyebrows.
? Du'Van Limousines, owned
and operated by Roger Van Nos­trand,
is the Auburn area's new­est
and only limo service. Van
Nostrand put his limo in gear
four months ago and although
the work isn't all down hill, he
says he finds it to be a great
learning experience.
The 1978 five-passenger Cadil­lac
Elegant limousine makes
about two or three runs a week.
Football weekends are the busi­est
for the service. Van Nostrand
plays the traditional chaffeur,
black suit and tie complete with
driver's hat. He also employs
other drivers that take his place
on occasion.
\- Usual clientele are business
iSxecutive., vigi^tmm^ ott
game day, wedding parties.visit-ing
speakers and performers and
of course, the young gentleman
who wants to take that special
lady for a night on the town she
.won't soon forget, ;
W ' •'
Van Nostrand tells the story of
a special date where the guy
suited up in a formal and had the
limo take him to pick up his date
at her dorm. Everyone was
impressed, the girl just couldn't
believe it. Van Nostrand says
that he would do nothing but the
special occasions if he could,
that's the part he enjoys most
about the limo service.
Van Nostrand says he likes
meeting people because they're so
interesting. He remembers one
episode when driving a woman
speaker visiting the university.
The speaker threw her raincoat
over herself and changed clothes
in the car on the way to the air­port.
"That was the first time
anyone changed clothes in my
limo," Van Nostrand exclaimed.
"Boy was I embarrassed."
Van Nostrand says that he has
"carried" different entertainers
from the Movie Pub and will be
chaffeuring the Miss Glomerata
Pageant. He sent President and
Mrs. James Martin one dozen
roses as a nice gesture. "We get a
lot of visiting alumni, people who
do a great deal to support the
school. It would be nice to spend
some money on them instead of
carrying them around in a uni­versity
van."
The limo service does a lot more
than cart passengers from point
A to point B. Van Nostrand will
provide ice, colas and candies if
requested (no alcohol) and even
make dinner and accomodation
reservations. And for every lady
a single red rose, the trademark
of Du'Van Limousines. Van Nos­trand
believes that taking time to
attend to the extras and the
details will pay off in the long
run.
Rates are $55 for the first two
hours, which is the minimum,
and $25 for each additional hour.
He explains that this is a real
deal when the customer considers
that a limo service from Mont­gomery
would probably charge
$1.50 per mile to pick up the cus­tomer,
an hourly fee and then
$1.50 per mile to drive back to
Montgomery empty.
The 20-foot long limo was
bought in Montgomery. The
silver-gray beauty is a sister car
to one that is owned by country-western
singer Jerry Reed.
Money for the limo came from
Van Nostrand's own savings, his
father and a bank loan.
According to Van Nostrand,
his father is the biggest help to the
young business. Van Nostrand
runs the limo service out of his
father's cabinet shop where he
works part-time in Opelika and
uses the cabinet shop phone as
his business phone also.
Maybe limousines run in the
family. His father drove a limou­sine
from Long Island into New
York City when he was younger
and lived in New York.
Van Nostrand decided to start
a limousine service when he saw
a limo while eating out one night.
He says that he is always looking
for a business but the limo
appealed to him because it is a
service. "A service doesn't tie up a
lot of capital, when you're not out­laying
a lot of money, you make
more money."
Also the limousine was a chal-

get," added Scott.
"Maybe it could
get big media
coverage. Our
initiative is to
get the informa-tion,
and if Au­burn
has hold­ings
in companies like this, make
people aware."
Scott, saying that he was
against protest of any form on
campus concerning this issue,
also said, "If the blacks here don't
care for the condition in Africa,
then what other organization
here can care about it?"
BSAC. is stijl working on
exactly what the letter will say
and has not decided what to do
with this matter. Scott said he did
hope there would be no bad feel­ings
towards BSAC and that the
subject could be resolved
peacefully.
Tiger paws
stalk new
world record
By Denise Self
News Staff
Despite Auburn's defeat to
Florida last Saturday, 15,283
blue and orange tiger paws
reportedly broke the world face
painting record previously held
by the University of Iowa.
"This official number will be
sent to the Guinness World
Record Headquarters in England
and should be published in the
next edition," said Kym Haas,
director of the SGA Spirit
Committee.
5 According to John Berry, gen­eral
manager of the Generik Ink
Corporation in Baton Rouge, La.,
Iowa previously held the face
painting record with more than
11,000 participants.
Berry, whose face paint com­pany
instigated the first official
record at the University of Ala­bama
in the 1984 opening game
against Boston College, said
"Auburn now officially holds the
world record without a doubt."
However, Berry pointed out
Auburn should immediately send
a challenger along with the
painting record to Guinness
World Record Headquarters
because of last year's confusion
with the University of Alabama.
. Berry claimed that Jerry
Brown, last year's Alabama SGA
spirit committee chairman, fal­sely
accused his company of
sending letters to other universi­ties
with the school's SGA letter­head
without permission.
"Guinness told me you have to
have a challenger," said Berry.
Auburn's record will be chal­lenged
by the University of Pitts­burg
on their Nov. 23 game
against Penn State.
Unlike UA, about 50 spirit
committee members and other
volunteers independently paint­ed
and counted cheeks at each
gate of Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Haas said Auburn fans were
cooperative. "I feel that the
response to the whole event was
good, from both alumni and stu­dents,"
she said.

What do you think...
...about student seating
at football games?
Mark Ogles, 02 PN: "I'm for
general admission seating. I
don't like the people who come in
10 minutes before the game after
I've stood in line for two hours
and sat there the whole time. I
think there is an adequate
amount of seating, but a lot of
people sitting there aren't stu­dents.
I don't think we should
lose any seats after the stadium
expansion."
Brad Cross, 04 MN: "I feel
like there's enough seating now
but after the expansion there
won't be. I don't think there
should be assigned seating in the
student section, because you
can't always get a seat next to
who you want to sit with."

Many theories exist.but
no one really knows,she said. "We
tend to make inferences based on
what happens when we don't
have sleep."
"Humans are on a 24-hour
cycle—a circadian rhythm. We
sleep at some point in the cycle
and are awake at some point,"
she said. "Other animals such as
cats are on shorter cycles and
may sleep several times in one
day," said Hannay.
"During sleep, the rate of many
body functions is altered. Respir­ation
and heart rate increases,"
Hannay said. Muscle relaxation
occurs also.
Sleep occurs in four stages. We
move into stage four, the deepest
stage, about every 30 to 45 min­utes,
she said. Within an average
night the body will go through
the four stages five to seven
times, she said.
The most mysterious stage of
sleep is the REM (rapid eye
movement) stage. "During the
REM stage heart rate and respi­ration
increase and stomach
activity decreases," said Han­nay.
Rapid movement of the eyes
under the eyelids gives this
period of sleep its name.
"If you awaken someone dur­ing
this period, you will find that
they are dreaming," she said. We
have some "special need," possi­bly
psychological, for the dream­ing,
Hannay explained.
When someone is deprived of
large periods of REM sleep cer­t
a in characteristics appear.
Irritability and restlessness are
evident, she said. The person
doesn't function as well and may
be able to do only simple tasks,
Hannay said.
When sleep is lost, the body
automatically makes up for the
REM sleep that is missed," she
said. For example, if. you miss

It has been one month since the
legal drinking age changed in
Alabama.
But, according to local law
"enforcement officials, the law
has had little visible effect on
drinking in the city.
"Enforcing (the law) is a pain,
with some students who are
underage and some who are
'grandfathered in'," said Sgt.
George Gunn of the Auburn City
Police Department, "and it's not
going to make a big difference in
Auburn, Ala., since a lot of the
drinking is done at private
parties."
According to University Police
Chief Jack Walton, "There have
been the usual amount of DUIs,
but there have been more arrests
lately for possession and con­sumption
of alcohol."
"Now when we arrest someone
for DUI, and they are underage,
we have to arrest them for pos­session
and consumption of
alcohol as well," he said.
According to Gunn, the penalty
for possession and consumption
of alcohol by a minor varies.
Consumption of alcohol by a
minor, said Gunn, carries a min­imum
fine of $57 and does not
require a court appearance.
"It's just like a traffic ticket,"
he said, "you pay the fine and
that's it."
The penalty for possession of
alcohol by a minor is "up to the
discretion of the judge," said
Gunn.
"That (possession) requires a
court date," he said, "and is puni­shable
by a fine of up to $1,000
and/or imprisonment of one year
or less."
These are standard penalties
for a misdemeanor, according to
Gunn.
The judge will consider circum­stances
of the arrest, such as the
age of the offender and the type
and amount of alcohol in his pos­session,
in determining the
penalty, he said.
"A kid carrying a six' pack of
beer will get less than one carry­ing
a case of beer or carrying
hard liquor," Gunn said.
He said tbat he has not heard of
any problems in the city with the
new law, and that the establish­ments
that sell
cooperating.
"We periodically check estab­lishments,"
he said, "but we
mostly try to get their coope­ration."
"It is the job of the ATF (Alco­hol,
Tobacco and Firearms
Agency) to make establishments
comply with the law," said Gunn.
"We are here to assist them."
"But," he said, "if things get out
of hand here we will get underage
volunteers to go in and buy alco­hol.
That's when you see four or
five places busted for selling to
minors."
The city police also monitor
some off-campus fraternity par­ties,
according to Gunn, who said
that most of the fraternities have
made a "very good effort to
comply with the law and have
done a decent job."
He said that fraternities should
do three things when they serve
alcohol at parties:
— Have only one way into the
party. ~<
— Check everyone's identifica­t
i o n as they go in.
— Make every effort possible to
keep minors from "crashing" the
party.
eight hours sleep, it is not neces­sary
to sleepjlB hours the next day
to recover the REM sleep lost. The
body will spend more time in the
REM stage to recover and a few
more hours sleep the next day
should be enough, she said.
Extended periods of sleep loss,
such as five or more days; do not
present any physical dangers,
she said. People have gone for
more than a week with no physi­cal
side effects, she said. "How­ever,
after a few nights you have
a great desire for sleep," she said.
Sleeping patterns change over
our lifetime. The average person
sleeps seven to eight hours each
night, she said. Infants may
sleep more than half the time and
elderly persons may sleep only
five hours per day, she said. It is
common for the amount of sleep
we get to decrease over our life,
she said.
And how much one normally
sleeps doesn't necessarily affect
^ow^well Kffftthc^onsrs^esaictr
Some people need only two or
three hours each night while oth­ers
may sleep nine or 10, she said.
Remember Herschel Walker?
He has been known to average
three hours sleep a night. It cer­tainly
hasn't hurt this former
Heisman Trophy winner.

Monitoring AIDS
Acquired immune deficiency syn­drome
(AIDS) may be the plague of
the 20th century say many doctors
and scientists, and the medical field
is doing all it can to prevent the
spread of the almost always fatal
desease while frantically searching
for a cure.
Originally, the disease was
thought only to afflict homosexual
males, intravenous drug users and
Haitians. But now that AIDS has
spread to the heterosexual world,
Americans are finally beginning to
take notice of its severity.
Many have already taken precau­tions
to help prevent any further
spread of the disease. Prisons
around the country, including the
Jefferson County Jail in Bir­mingham,
have prohibited prison­ers
from having any contact with
outsiders because of a fear that some
inmates may be carriers of the
disease.
Perhaps the most controversial
precaution being taken is that by the
federal government of testing all
U.S. military personnel for AIDS.
The medical testing will cost the
taxpayers some $20 million-money
that many people feel could better be
spent elsewhere..
But where else could the money be
spent better? This type of preventive
medicine is far cheaper than paying
to treat anyone in the military who
may contract the disease in the
future.
Others argue that testing for
AIDS is a violation of the service­men's
privacy, because a positive
test would lead to implications of
homosexuality which would in turn
make the military look bad.
The tests are not designed to point
a finger at homosexuals in the
armed forces; they are designed to
prevent the spread of a dangerous
disease. If there were an outbreak of
tuberculosis or polio or smallpox in
the country, wouldn't it be a good
idea to test military personnel in
order to keep our defenders strong
and healthy?
As researchers discover more
about the disease, measures we now
take may be deemed unnecessary,
but with the present doubt about
how many ways AIDS may be
transmitted, the decision by the
government to undertake testing of
military personnel is wise and above
all, safe.
Money for nothing
Thirty-three thousand dollars is a
lot of money to spend on a trip, even
for an important diplomat such as a
governor.
But that is approximately how
much Gov. George C. Wallace spent
this summer on his family, staff and
friends when he went to Colorado.
Of course, Wallace's trip to Colo­rado
was definitely valid. He tra­velled
there to have a specialist per­form
spinal surgery that would help
alleviate much of the daily back
pain he still experiences as a result
of the 1971 assasination attempt.
The governor's office went to
great pains to point out that all of
Wallace's medical expenses were
paid for with his insurance money
and that the private jet he flew in
was donated by a local businessman
for the journey. The governor's aides
made it clear that Wallace was not
spending state taxpayer's money for
the trip.
Well, Wallace himself may not
have spent any state money, but the
news has it now that as much as
$33,000 was spent on as many as 20
aides, close friends and family
members that travelled to Colorado
with the governor. The only people
who really needed to make the trip
were a few aides and bodyguards
and the first lady.
According to recent press reports,
Wallace's travel buddies were put up
in $75/day hotel rooms and pro­vided
expenses that were paid for
out of the governor's discretionary
fiind.
This fund is set aside for the gov­ernor
to allocate at his discretion,
but most Alabamians will probably
agree that sending 20 people to
Colorado at a cost of $33,000 is not in
the best interest of the whole state.
That is a lot of money that could
have been utilized more useful ways.
Thirty-three thousand dollars
wouldn't have gone too far, but it
could have bought a lot of books for
needy high school libraries around
the state or helped buy playground
equipment in an underprivileged
neighborhood in Birmingham.
It is our duty to let the governor
know that we do not appreciate out­rageous
expenditures like this. We
have to put the pressure on him now
to prevent such action in the future.
Now is the time to exercise your
rights as an Alabamian. Write the
governor a letter and express your
disapproval, or write your con­gressman.
Don't just sit back and let
this happen again.
Entertainment improving
Tigermania is here again, and
once again the University Program
Council has succeeded in bringing a
week of great entertainment to
Auburn.
During the past two weeks,
Auburn students have had a chance
to hear Vincent Price speak, to see a
stand-up comedian and hear the
Christian rock group Innovation.
The finale to the whole Homecom­ing
celebration is, of course, tomor­row
night's Tina Turner concert.
Auburn is too small a town to
attract top stars and too small a
town to sell out concerts for semi-top
stars. We were lucky to get a name as
big as Tina Turner for Homecoming,
just as we were lucky to get Chicago
last year.
The UPC deserves commendation
from the students for a job well done.
But the UPC also deserves partici­pation
from the students to make
Tigermania a success this year and
in years to come.

INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS
Purifying college athletics
A force is now plaguing college sports
and it isn't the dreaded astroturf or
Beano Cook's historical Saturday after­noon
football picks.
Corruption surrounding college sports
has unfortunately reached a new and
darker level.
Allegations, denials and "no com­ments"
have become as much a part of
the college sports scene as All-American
teams.
In the last two weeks the Southeastern
Conference alone has witnessed the dis­closure
of claims of money gifts to bas-ketball
players at Auburn and
Kentucky.
Former All-SEC Tiger center Charles
Berkley was reported by the Philadel­phia
Daily News as saying he received
illegal payments from boosters while
attending* school here.
The now Philadelphia 76er star later
denied making the Statements to the
paper's reporter.
The Lexington Herald-Leader devoted
about five pages of its front section on
Oct. 27 to the reporting of what appeared
to be a full-blown scandal in the Wildcat
basketball program.
Supporters were again the alleged
culprits reportedly putting $100 bills in
player's hands during after-game hand­shakes
and being "Sugar Daddys" dur­ing
their college careers.
Well-known and respected stars like
Sam Bowie, Kyle Macy and Jay Shidler
were mentioned in the articles revealing
alleged illegal cash rewards for speak­ing
engagements, the sale of compli­mentary
tickets for many times the regu­lar
price and the giving of free clothes
and meals.
But the affliction isn't confined to any
one institution.
A casual glance at the SEC finds Flor­ida
and Georgia on probation with LSU
and Kentucky under or near certain
investigation.
Almost every major conference in the
nation has one school on football and or
basketball probation.
The reasons for the illegal recruiting
and payments are simple. However the
remedies to the sicknesses are both sim­ple
and complex.
Gifts by boosters are a result of basic
human nature. Powerful alumni and
friends of programs wish to get
acquainted with big-name players .
The prestige gained and egos satisfied
by knowing personally a star like Tony
Robinson or Kerwin Bell is a major fac­tor
in boosters giving athletes cash or
gifts.
Boosters realize the players may well
be in need of some cash a scholarship
doesn't provide him with.
Outside of expenses for tuition, books,
room and board, college athletes have
the same monetary needs as the average
college students and in a lot of cases less
financial resources.
Which brings us to one of the solutions
to the player bankrolling dilemma.
Common sense dictates that athletes
should be granted a cash allotment
along with their scholarship when
entering college.
Whether the money is paid to the
student-athlete weekly or monthly is
immaterial, but the change is absolutely
necessary to help solve some of college
athletics' ills.
If players aren't desperate for money
the hope is that they will be in a better
position to refuse what they know is an
illegal payment from a supporter.
Not allowing boosters in locker rooms
or player facilities after ballgames
should also be a measure seriously con­sidered
by the NCAA.
The NCAA should also ponder the
possibility of sending a representative to
every major football or basketball
player-booster gathering to insure the
absence of wrongdoing at those events.
If the equally discouraging problems
surrounding recruiting continue, steps
should be taken to aid the recruit and
schools in maintaining a healthy
recruiting environment.
Sending each prominent high school
prospect a letter and or a NCAA repre­sentative
explaining the recruiting rules
to the athlete when he is a junior in high
school would also assist in educating the
player and his family.
/Also, stiffer penalties for rule-violating
schools, similar to SMU's probation and
unlike Georgia's, should be levied with­out
remorse by the NCAA.
The penalties would hit the institu­tions
where they dislike it the most, in
the pocketbook.
Without immediate and strict action
by the NCAA, common jokes and tales
about how a star athlete drives his new
car or affords slick clothes will no longer
be humorous or interesting conversa­tional
topics, but destructive elements to
the integrity of the athletic programs,
and more importantly, the players
themselves.
'Honey' too much like all of us
' To begin with, Honey Taylor is a
poodle.
That doesn't mean that she is any less
human than you or me, or that she is any
less politically involved than we are.
She's a lot like a lot of people I know.
She's temperamental and a bit neurotic.
Being upper-middle class and dependent
on her parents, she is a Republican.
More correctly, she is a fascist.
"Fascist" is a -term infinitely «more
attractive in America than "co'mmu-. r
nist", and Honey is not afraid of her lef-j i
tist roommates when they call her that.
"Hitler had his good points," I heard her
say once.
Honey is a furry bundle of contradic­tions.
A glamorous type, she laughs at
the label "dumb blonde." She is ani-mated
and vivacious, a true Southern
belle sorority queen (picture Vivien
Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire). She
loves movies and movie stars and
Ronald Reagan. She reads a number of
magazines regularly, everything from
Cosmopolitan to Time. She is articulate,
and she considers herself informed.
Honey, like many others, however, is
unaware that she is hampered by
limited exposure to the outside world.
She only gets outside of the trailer,
where she lives, three times a day to use
the bathroom.
You might say that Honey lives in a
sort of fantasy land. We don't tell her
anything different, and we try not to
argue with her because we know it's best
for hysterical personalities.
She honestly believes that Rambo will
soon return to make her his bride. She
has the wedding invitations printed,
and one is already addressed to the
--president:—
Honey is furious that anyone believes
that a wonderful person like Marilyn
Monroe would even speak to anyone as
dreadful as those Kennedys.
Honey won't support Bush in '88,
because she feels he has "Democratic
tendencies." Besides, he doesn't really
believe in Reaganomics, she says.
Honey is supporting Pat Robertson as
the next president. She feels he has the
proper respect for the new attitude of the
nation.
Honey, I fear, is becoming paranoid.
She told me recently that Ho Chi Minh
("Uncle Ho" as she calls him) has com­munist
spies planted in Ridgewood Vil­lage.
She's seen Red Dawn about 17
times on HBO, and I think this has
something to do with it.
I'm afraid a total breakdown is com­ing
soon. Honey experienced a false
pregnancy last spring, and she is certain
that KGB spies murdered the litter.
I'm sure some of Honey's hysteria
stems from her financial problems. Not
long ago she controlled a large cattle
ranch and was a major stockholder in
several firms, including many with
holdings in South Africa.
The UFOs kept getting the cattle, she
said, until the ranch was almost worth­less.
And the stock was the victim of
Honey's leftist roommate.
"She got on the computer and dumped
all my stock on the open market at a
huge loss," Honey said. "Personally I've
talked with several.blacks who don't
support what's going on over there. I
saw nothing wrong with dealing with
firms who deal in South Africa."
Honey sees nothing wrong with wea­pons
on the Space Shuttle, "if that's
where they belong." She feels that
national security is infinitely more
important than good foreign relations.
"If you have good national defense, who
needs foreign relations?"
She thinks that warning labels aren't
needed on records, but that a panel of
middle-aged wives of ministers should
sit through all recorded music and erase
anything that they felt might be ques­tionable.
"Everybody knows all teenag­ers
think about is sex and drugs."
Don't think that Honey is completely
heartless, however. She made plans to
take in a number of homeless indigents,
although she canceled at the last min­ute,
fearing that they might mess up her1
trailer.
You're laughing because I'm writing
about a political poodle? What about
Shoe? Garfield? Didn't Bill the Cat and
Opus in Bloom County run for president
and vice president last year? Honey is
just like the rest of us.
Maybe too much.
Bring back old game atmosphere
Ah, those wonderful football week­ends—
blue skies, cold weather, a victory
for the Tigers. Well, that wasn't the case
last week. The skies were cloudy, the
Tigers lost and the bottle of Wild Turkey
brought in for added refreshment was
dispossessed by a herd of security
guards.
It didn't make for a very good day.
I started to scrutinize the security
guards for any tell-tale reasons that
would make them enjoy their job. They
couldn't watch the game, since they
were positioned at equal distances from
each other, facing the stadium seats
with their eyes peeled for. any sign of
alchohol consumption.
One, I told my date, had the face of a
murderer. His mouth was drawn tightly
closed, his heavy lidded eyes scanned
the crowd sourly. I wouldn't want to
meet up with him for an Eagle escort, at
any rate.
The rest of them seemed content to
stand there with no one to talk to,
nothing to do except stare at the stu­dents.
I guess each of them was contem­plating
what strategy to use in order to
get the bottle of Wild Turkey all to
themselves.
I mean, honestly you should have seen
them when they picked up the bottle.
Their eyes lit up as if they'd found stolen
treasure! They carefully carried the bot­tle
away and laid it in a plastic bucket
they kept on the grass area between the
field and the seats.
I can hear them now. The game is
over, and they are probably sitting
around the security office...
"Hey, Amos...what happened to that
bottle of Turkey?"
"Uhh, I brought it back here, along
with three bottles of Jack Daniels and a
pint of Canadian Mist," Amos says
sheepishly.
"Well, you know, LaMont spotted that
bottle sticking out of some girl's purse,
so shouldn't he get to keep it?" the guard
queries.
"What?" says LaMont, "I don't know
nothin about no turkeys...I want Cour-vosier
and seven-up. Now that's drinkin
in high style!"
So, the guards probably place oets
among themselves on the Texas
A&M/SMU game and whoever guesses
the closest score gets the bottle.
It is a sad thing indeed to know that
not only can one's best bottle or flask of
liquor be confiscated, (yes, I know it's
illegal to take alcohol into u> stadium)
but also that students are not allowed on
the grassy area between the field and the
stadium seats.
Now really, what's wrong with walk­ing
along there at halftime, waving to
your roommate, or casually walking
past that Sigma Chi pledge you've been
dying to meet?
At the Florida game, I wanted to talk
to one of the photographers who was on
the field. I didn't want to smuggle drugs
to him, or jump over the fence and dance '
wildly on the field. I just wanted to talk
to him because he was a friend of mine
who was on the Plainsman staff last
year.
The security guard acted like I was a
prisoner asking for visitation rights.
You'd think I was sneaking past the Ber­lin
Wall, when I stepped out onto the
grass. "Sir, excuse me, but I'm a member
of the Plainsman staff, and one of our
old staff members is on the field taking
pictures. Would you mind if I spoke to
him for a minute?" I said, trying to
sound sweet and timid.
"Well, you have to ask that man down
there...I'm not s'posed to decide these
things," he said gruffly.
I wimpered and begged for a minute
more, and he gave in, saying,"but you
can only stay out here for a few min:
utes." I talked to my friend for a few
minutes, and then he returned and told
me to leave. His supervisor was walking
down the field.
Well, pardon my sentimentality, but I •
do miss the days when Nelson Sexton j
would yell,"Getcha keys out!," when the
Tigers were not predicted number one in
the nation, when one friend of
mine (now graduated) could get drunk,
lead cheers from the front row at the
30-yard line and do various acrobatics
on the grass without security cops inter-^
vening.
Well, those were the days. This wee-;
kend will be my last time to sit in Jordan-
Hare Stadium as an Auburn student. I jj
just hope I can yell "War Eagle!" in tones»
of victory instead of "Wild Turkey!" in
tones of despair.

Principles should cause
activism against apartheid
We as Americans have something
that no one can take away. We've got the
right to defend our principles. Take
away everything this society deems
important and what's left is principles.
That's the bottom line.
Each person has to decide for himself
what he is going to stand for as a human
being. It depends on that person's basic
concerns over what's going on in the
world.
And there is plenty going on in the
world that should concern us. One issue
that has particularly invaded the con­science
of America recently is the policy
of institutionalized racism in South
Africa.
The crisis in South Africa is a world
problem. It's a national problem. Its a
state problem, and now it seems it just
may be a campus problem as well.
There is a real possibility that Auburn
University — our Auburn University
has interests in South Africa through its
investments in American companies
doing business there.
The institution of apartheid is being
supported by American corporations.
Because of apartheid, South Africa's
black majority is suffering under a
government that has no regard for
human dignity or human life. The state
of emergency declared has only contrib­uted
to the problem.
In South Africa, to call for an end to
apartheid is like calling for the over­throw
of the government, punishable by
imprisonment and even execution.
But that's South Africa's problem, not
ours right? Wrong. How can anyone
with any kind of moral conscience sit
back and ignore the atrocities occurring
in that African nation?
A coalition has been formed on cam­pus
to attempt to get answers to some
unanswered questions about the extent
of Auburn's involvement, however
small, in South Africa.
Until Auburn's financial interests are
revealed, the most pressing question is
why information has not been made
available to the public. That, for now, is
coalition's main concern.
Besides the question of why the Uni­versity
is so tight-lipped about finances,
another question is why there is such an
aversion on the part of Auburn students
to become involved with this soon-to-be-bigger-
than-it-is-now controversy.
College campuses have traditionally
been the place where people begin to
question, if not challenge, some of the
things they've been told.
But Auburn, yuppy breeding ground
that it is, is a place where political con­servatism
runs rampant. People here
just don't seem to care anymore.
It makes me wonder what happened to
the spirit of activism. What happened to
the times when people acted on an issue
because they believed it was right?
Nobody wants to believe that we as a
generation are turning into apathetic
glazed-eyed zombies who are totally
oblivious to world problems, but facts
are facts.
On other campuses across America,
students are actively involved in anti-apartheid
activity.
—At the University of Louisville, the
university voted for partial divestment
after only 100 of 20,000 students began
actively fighting for divestment.
—Even though the University of Wis­consin
board of regents divested its
South African holdings in 1978, stu­dents
there are requesting that the state
of Wisconson divest its $2 billion portfo­lio
in South Africa.
—The Rutgers Coalition at Rutgers
University is using anti-apartheid activ­ity
to focus attention on the oppression
of poor people all over the world.
—At the University of California at
Berkeley, protesters are determined to
"make it politically unsound for the
administration [to resist divestment]:"
It's probable that things won't go near
as far at Auburn. But the fact remains
that any investment in South Africa is
an investment in apartheid. Anyone
with a conscience should see this issue
as a personal one.
Fans' actions at Florida loss
show we are becoming normal'
Well, we lost to Florida. It's over with
and there's nothing we can do about it.
Sure the loss is dissappointing, but I'm
more dissappointed in the fans than I
am the loss.
Our team went out and gave it their all
for 60 minutes, but some of our fans
seemed to let down during the game.
I was able to go to the Alabama-
Tennessee football game a few weeks
ago and made the observation of how
Alabama fans only cheered when they
did something good or when Tennessee
did something bad. They did very little
cheering at any other time.
I bragged to a friend of mine how
proud I was that Auburn fans never let
down. Even in some of the most boring
games we were able to get some cheer
going.
After attending Saturday's game, I
now feel that I must eat those words.
During the first half, everyone was up
until Florida took the lead, and then eve­ryone
went sour until we regained the
lead. The first thing that came into my
mind was the Alabama game.
I cannot believe that Auburn is becom­ing
normal. I would hate to think that we
are.
Ever since attending my first Auburn
game six years ago I thought of Auburn
as a special place to be. It was a place
where you stayed behind your team no
matter how good or bad things got.
Last year I took a friend of mine (who
is an Alabama fan) to the Alabama-
Auburn game. When it seemed apparent
that Auburn would lose, he noticed that
our fans never let down. That impressed
him and now he attends Auburn.
This is a prime example of how things
USED to be. It seems now that some of
our fans are getting too cocky and feel
that there is no need to support the team
all of the time, but they are sadly
mistaken.
Now, more than ever, we have fewer
excuses not to cheer at the games. Our
band plays more in the stands this year
than in the past, and the cheerleaders
have done a great job trying to keep fans
motivated by coming up with new ideas
and cheers.
A few years ago we would have stayed
until the end of the game even if the
outcome was certain. Leaving games
early has almost become a routine with
many people just so they can get back
and start partying earlier.
This lack of support shows up even
more at our basketball games where the
only time there is a large group of sup­porters
is when we play someone big. It
is sad to think that last year was one of
the most successful seasons in Auburn
history, yet we still had one of the lowest
attendance averages in the SEC.
It seems that the people think the only
time our teams need support is for the
big games. But, there is never any gua­rantee
that we will win the little ones, if
there is such thing as a little game or >
little win.
Last week at the Mississippi State
game I saw several people leaving dur­ing
the third and fourth quarters. This
surprised me since we were only nine
points ahead and anything can happen
during the course of the game.
I don't believe that we are becoming
an ordinary place, but if we aren't care­ful,
we will. I do feel that there are defi­nite
comparisons to be made at how we
act today to how Alabama acted five
years ago. Look where they ended up,
back at the bottom.

Russian sailor case national disgrace
Editor, The Plainsman:
" National disgrace is a term that must
not be used lightly. But the act of the
United States in refusing asylum to a
Lithuanian seaman (Simas Kudirka)
and returning him to the Soviet killers is
a national disgrace—so profound a dis­grace
that there is no way to conceive of
what would erase it form our record."
Thus did Ayn Rand begin her
comments in the Objectiviat, January
1971, on an incident that took place on
November 23,1970, but did not become
known to the public until almost a week
later.
I feel the same outrage, when I read
and hear about the incident involving
Ukrainian seaman Miroslav Medvid
who was denied asylum and returned
twice to a Soviet ship in U.S. waters near
New Orleans on October 25, 1985, by
American officials.
Was national disgrace averted this
time by the action of the State
Department in later insisting on an
interview with the seaman to satisfy
itself of his intentions? Does the fact
that the seaman later signed a
statement in Russian saying he wants to
go back to the USSR absolve the Border
Patrol agents who did not bother to
understand fully what he was saying in
another language? I want to explain
why my answer to both questions is
"NO."
To take the second question first, the
Border Patrol, as an arm of the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service, and acting in the name of this
country, was telling this man, in effect,
"your words don't count for anything.
We have decided that you are going back
to your ship, even if you say your life is in
danger." Is this any different from the
attitude of the Soviets towards what
their dissidents are saying?
And to seek to explain their actions by
claiming they thought he was a
'stowaway' is an insult to the American
people's intelligence. Stowaways are
normally put ashore, not returned.
The claim that the State Department
considers this matter closed cannot be
accepted unless we are willing to accept
the theory that a bureaucrat's decisions
and actions are not subject to popular,
legal or judicial review. Such a theory
would undermine every form of a
representative, constitutionally-limited
government.
I think it is still possible to make
amends to Medvid.
President Reagan, keeping in mind
his oft-stated commitment to family
values, issues a personal invitation to
the Ukrainian and his family for an all-expense
paid trip to the United States.
The invitation is worded in such a way
that it tests whether Soviet Communist
Party Leader Mikhail Gorbachev meant
what he said about allowing easier
travel and emigration in his interview
with the French journalists.

Supporter believes Crowe must go
Editor'* Not*; We received five letters
regarding Auburn football and because of space
limitations two will appear, one in letters to the
editor and one in letters to the sports editor.
Editor, The Plainsman:
To begin with, this letter is not one
designed to cause any wild reaction from
the students. No, I only want some ques­tions
answered. I'm not looking for any
answers from the students because,
frankly, you do not know the answers
(although you could probably make
some accurate guesses).
These questions can only be answered
by the coach, and I don't mean Pat Dye.
No, I'm directing this letter to you coach
Jack Crowe. And let me add that I'm not.
expecting an answer simply because I
asked for it (I'm not special), but because
I feel we, the Auburn family, deserve
one.
I suppose I should first state my posi­tion.
There is no way that our team
should have lost the game with Florida.
Our beloved Tigers played as well as
they could Saturday (I put the stress on
beloved because they are still my team
and I, for one, am proud of their accomp­lishments),
yet they got little help from,
the coaching staff, offensively, that is.
The defense played their best game to
date. They deserve an award of some
kind. Florida quarterback Kerwin Bell
spent more time on the ground Saturday
than he has all year. But, we
lost..somehow.
I guess you could say we just didn't put
.enough points on the scoreboard. It
sounds simplistic to say that, but in that
I guess my answer lies.
Therefore I must look in the direction
of the offensive unit, and, in doing so, I
don't find myself looking at Pat
Washington, Bo Jackson, Tommie Agee
or anyone else responsible for putting
points on the board. No, I see the
problem lying first and foremost with
offensive coordinator Crowe.
Coach, for the past four years, I have
followed our Tigers all over the country
and have sat through many question­able
plays that you have called (I say
questionable because I am not a football
genius of any kind, therefore do not feel
able to call such plays dumb or stupid,
but they are questionable).
Here is a typical example. With third-and-
long, why do we so often run up the
middle? My friends with some football
intelligence are constantly telling me
that we do this to keep the defense hon­est.
And, yes, we often get to see Agee
break one up the middle that was set up
by our offensive scheme for the day.
, But, with no time-outs left, a little over
two minutes left and 80 yards to go, one
would not expect a team to run up the
middle on two successive plays.
Yet that is what we did against Flor­ida.
Those two plays made no sense
whatsoever to me.
Coach, over the past four years,
Auburn has had the most potential of
any team in the country. Our teams
could have been the most prolific teams
the NCAA had ever seen.
We should have been undefeated (or
darn near close to it) for the past three
years, yet during that time we've had
seven losses.
I've seen us win more games that we
had no business winning, and the only
reason we won was because of our talent
and talent alone, not coaching.
Coach Crowe, you are not the man to
be running our offense. Maybe you were
good at the smaller colleges you coached
at before you came to Auburn, but not
here.
I don't know who is capable or who to
get. I couldn't do it, and neither can you.
The only difference is that I am willing
to admit my inability.
And yes, you can always say that it
was a team victory or a team defeat, but
the way I look at it, one man cost those
guys their chance at the national cham­pionship,
and we all know who I think
that one man is.

Get out and vote today
Editor, The Plainsman:
As everyone knows this is Homecom­ing
Week and I hope that each and eve­ryone
of you have been enjoying the
many programs being presented this
week. The SGA and UPC have done an
excellent job with all of the programs so
far, including the annual "Tigermania"
celebration.
Another big part of Homecoming
Week is the election of Miss Homecom­ing.
I truly hope that everyone will par­ticipate
in this election by voting for the
candidate of their choice on Thursday.
A student I.D. is the only thing needed
to vote and it only takes a couple of min­utes.
To truly make Miss Homecoming
representative of Auburn University
each students needs to get out and vote
today.
I hope everyone will try to participate
in this and all of the other great Homer
coming events of this week.
The polls will be open from 8 a.m. until
3:30 p.m. today at the following places:

Student upset with paper's policy
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am sitting here still in disbelief over
the discussion we had last week concern­ing
your decision to not publish the arti­cle
on the Wilbur Hutsel-ODK Cake
Race. As I stated to you in our discus­sion,
the cake race is an event that is
open to all Auburn students, faculty and
staff.
The race was conceived in 1928, and
has been a traditional event which
recently has lost prominence. You, how­ever,
chose not to print this article
because you said "It's not news," and
that "the race doesn't affect everyone on
campus."
My interpretation of a student news­paper
is that the paper should be for stu­dents,
about students, written by stu­dents
and read by students. By your
editing, you are swaying the reading
audience to the events you feel deserve
notariety.
I know that I am addressing a subject
that has resulted in other people becom­ing
frustrated. I have spoken to other
campus leaders and all of them have
stated that you have given them count­less
headaches over your policies of
organization representation in the writ­ten
media. ,
I realize that you and your staff are
looking for "the scoop of the year," but I
venture to say that I seriously doubt that
any Pulitzer Prize-winning article will
result from the articles you publish.
Another statement that you made that
bothers me was that you had not
intended for Hey Day to receive as much
coverage as it did. You said the reason
Hey Day got the coverage was that "it
filled space nicely."
Why must we (the students) have to
petition and lobby for fair representa­tion
in the student newspaper? In the
efforts of trying to bring back an event
(the cake race) to campus-wide promi­nence,
you have lended very little
support.
In conclusion, let me remind you of the
power you possess as the editor of a
major university's student newspaper.
There is a vital need to keep an open
mind when presenting stories and
events.
Your decisions affect all of us, either
directly or indirectly, and it is at your
discretion how these stories are pres­ented.
Fair representation of all activi­ties
is essential in keeping an open mind
and publishing an unbiased newspaper.

Defense research unjustified, dangerous
Editor, The Plainsman:
I hold the opinion that a scientist is
responsible for the applications of
knowledge that he or she makes avail­able.
I wish to make this statement
because of Auburn University scient­ist's
recent acceptance of Strategic
Defense Initiative (SDI) money.
The purpose of the government in
making this money available at Auburn
is to obtain proposals for methods of
generating and utilizing energy in
space. If Auburn scientists are success­ful,
one possible application for this new
knowledge will be the construction of
weapons deployable in satellite type
orbits.
The United States and the Soviet
Union are unfortunately caught in an
arms race which has thus far been
limited to ground, sea and air-based
nuclear weapons. The continued evolu­tion
of weapon systems is not
unavoidable.
I propose that the capacity to produce
sophisticated weapons deployable in
space will destablize the already volatile
•tandoff-a standoff that might be made
to work if no new technologies and
uncertainties are introduced.
The complexity of space weapons will
limit our capacity for control over our
destructive potential. The price of failure
to contain this potential, nuclear war, is
greater than anyone is willing to pay.
The complication of space weaponry
should be avoided deliberately.
Several justifications for conducting
SDI research at Auburn have been
offered prestige of selection, furthering
basic science and possible community
monetary benefit.
These goals are insignificant when
compared to the destablizing influence
of the capacity to build a SDI weapon
system. Also, the idea that if Auburn
scientists do not provide the research
then another institution will, must be
discarded as irrelevant in the face of
scientist's wide spread opposition to the
SDI program.
It is for the reasons that I have stated
that I ask all scholars and laymen asso- -
ciated with the University to reconsider
the course on which we have embarked.

Space takers are also generous alumni
Editor, The Plainsman:
Larry Hudson presented two solutions
in his letter, "Vehicles take student's
parking places," to his perceived prob­lem
concerning those "wealthy alumni"
who come to Auburn and steal his park­ing
space for two or three days.
As a pre-business major in his third
year, Hudson should realize that a state
university does not operate entirely on
legislated funds or student tuition.
Indeed, these same wealthy alumni,
despised by Hudson to a large extent,
make his education possible through
their perennial generosity to their alma
mater.
A third solution, for Hudson, would be
for the University to raise your annual
parking fee from $7 to $70 and guarantee
you the equal rights of the motorhomes.
Yes, that is correct, this year each
recreational vehicle owner paid $70 for
the privilege to use "two or three park­ing
spaces" and enjoy attending seven
home games.
Equated to the annual price that you
pay, each R.V. owner is entitled to 10
parking spaces anytime he chooses.

New SIMUN advisor named, rumors halted
By Denise Self
News Staff
The announcement of a new
faculty adviser has successfully
squelched rumors that Auburn's
Southeastern Invitational Model
United Nations (SIMUN) was
disbanding this year.
Dr. Donald G. Jeane, asso­ciate
professor of geography,
. was appointed to the program,
David Wagner, director of
SIMUN, said at Monday's SGA
Cabinet meeting. SIMUN, the
scaled simulation of United
Nations, was originally spon­sored
by the Political Science
Department.
"We're planning on hosting the
best Model United Nations in the
. history of Auburn," Wagner said.
In other cabinet action a study
to expand existing bike lanes on
Auburn streets is being con­ducted
by Secretary of Student
Life David McCalman and liai­sons
to Auburn City Council,
Brad Crysel and Page Gamble.
Crysel said some bike lanes
leading to the University end
before reaching campus prop­erty.
He cited two lanes, one
located on Thach Avenue which
stops at Gay Street and the other
leading from Tamarack Apart­ments
on Donahue Drive to the
street's railroad tracks.
SENATE MEETING
Students will be able to voice
their opinions concerning the
recent tuition increase at a Stu­dent
Opinion Poll in the Coli­seum
during schedule distribu­tion
Dec. 2-6, Tim Mitchell,
chairman of the Budget and
Finance Committee, said Mon­day.
Mitchell, who instigated a sub­committee
currently investigat­ing
the increase, expects possible
changes in the range of fees for
Spring '87.
"Right now Auburn is at a 10 to
15-hour flat rate plus a $14 fee for
each additional hour," he said.
"We'd like any change up­wards,
17 to 19 hours for a flat
rate," Mitchell said, explaining
that the subcommittee is "look­ing
for a system that fits the
hours of Auburn students." In
other Senate action, petitions
concerning the limited parking
spaces surrounding residential
areas are being circulated this
week in the dorms, said Linda
Fehn, chairman of the Housing
Committee.
"Once we find out statistics, we
will draw up a resolution to bring
before the Senate," Fehn said,
adding that copies then would be
sent to Assistant Dean of Stu­dents
Grant Davis, President
James E. Martin and the Hous­ing
Department.
Some of the questions on the
petition ask students if they own
a car at Auburn and how many
parking spaces are available sur­rounding
the student's dorm.
Suggestion boxes were install­ed
by the Student Forum Com­mittee
this week at 12 high-traffic
areas on campus, said Kay
Newman, chairman of the
committee.
"Any complaints and sugges­tions
concerning student life at
Auburn will be channeled to the
appropriate Senate committees,"
Newman said, adding the boxes
would be checked once per week.
Some of the main box locations
include the War Eagle Cafeteria,
Haley Center basement, Foy
Union lobby desk, College of
Veterinary Medicine and the
library.
A tutor file containing infor­mation
concerning fees, tutoring
hours and curriculum of the tutor,
will be available to students at
the SGA office, said Rusty Batch,
chairman of Academic Affairs.
Batch said his committee had
written all department heads and
advisers asking for tutors.
"We want to make it available
for every student to go to one
place to find out all the informa­tion
they need to know," Batch
said.

War Eagle Day marks anniversary of mascot
By Allison Smith
News Staff
War-r-r-r Eagle!
The cry has echoed on the
flains for several decades, and
986 marks the 25th year that a
live golden eagle mascot has
resided on the Auburn campus.
In honor of the silver anniver­sary,
City Mayor Jan Dempsey
proclaimed Nov. 8 as "War
Eagle" Day.
Stories abound about the exist­ence
of War Eagle I. Although
none can be proved; there is no
doubt about the existence of War
Eagle II. Discovered entangled in
a field of vines, the eagle became
mascot for the Auburn A Club in
1930. Because of financial strain
caused by the great depression,
the club could not afford to keep
the bird and eventually gave it to
a traveling carnival.
War Eagle III came to campus
in 1960 after its capture at a Tal­ladega
County farm. In 1964, the
bird escaped at a Birmingham
football game and was killed by a
shotgun blast.
War Eagle IV was obtained
from a Jackson, Miss, zoo later
in 1964. After his natural death in
1980, War Eagle V was acquired
from Wyoming through the U.S.
Department of Interior and
joined Auburn in 1981.
War Eagle V, known as "Tiger"
Eke his two immediate predeces­sors,
is under the care and train­ing
of Alpha Phi Omega service
fraternity.
Tiger's trainers include Brink
Stokes, a senior in civil engineer­ing;
Jim McAlarhey, a graduate
in computer engineering; and
Randy Camp, a senior in civil
engineering and head trainer.
Stokes said trainers spend two
hours every day flying and train-
Smith to steer Alumni in new direction
By Allison Smith
News Staff
Jerry Smith, who replaced
retiring "Buck" Bradberry as
executive director of Alumni and
Development this month, is busy
contemplating new directions
after the successful completion of
the Auburn Generations Fund
Campaign.
The fund began five years ago
witha goal of $61.7 million. Atits
conclusion in April, the fund had
received $111 million.
According to Smith, a close
examination of external and
internal operations is now
needed to establish new goal for
Auburn.
.. "For Auburn to continue to be a
great university, it's going to
have to have private support,"
Smith said.
A feasibility study has been
proposed to determine what
direction to take. If approved by
President James Martin and the
Board of Trustees, the study
would help Smith set goals and
priorities for now and the future.
Smith said such an in-depth
study would take three to four
months. For the moment, how­ever,
Smith said his main con­cern
is the Eminent Scholars
Program.
The program was set up bjythe
Alabama legislature for accre­dited
universities in Alabama
granting baccalaureate degrees.
The legislature believes these
universities, which include
Auburn and AUM, would benefit
from the addition of distin-

guished scholars serving as resi­dent
faculty members.
A trust fund of $9 million to
provide financial support for the
program was established by the
legislature. The state will provide
$400,000 for each eminent scho­lar
chair. The universities are
required to provide $600,000 for
each chair.
Currently, each university is
allowed only two eminent scholar
chairs. If, however, the univer­sity
has not raised funds to
match the state monies by
October, 1987, its chairs will be
awarded to other universities
who can raise the matching
funds for each chair.
"Our plans are to fill our two,"
Smith said. Several donors are
already considering funding.
On the success of the Genera­tions
Fund, Smith said it was a
"tribute to Auburn alumni and
friends who committed to help
the future generations."
The fund was founded in 1981
to encourage participation of all
those who had attended Auburn-ing
Tiger. Using falconry tech­niques,
Tiger is taught to fly the
distance from one trainer to
another. According to Stokes,
Tiger currently flies 75 yards, but
last summer he flew up to 150.
Tiger is tethered on a restraint
at all times when outside his
cage. When weather is bad, the
trainers fly him in the coliseum.
"My primary concern is out
there in the apiary," said Sttges.
He added tnat taking care of
Tiger is a full-time job.
Birds of prey do not show affec­tion,
but Stokes said Tiger is
"good-natured as far as eagles
go." According to Stokes, Jim
Fowler of Mutual of Omaha's
Wild Kingdom said Tiger is the
best eagle in the country at han­dling
people.
From the roar of the crowd to
caresses of children, Tiger takes
it all in stride. At a recent visit to
a childcare center for crippled
children in Montgomery, Stokes
said one girl wanted to kiss Tiger.
According to Stokes, the eagle sat
calmly while the child kissed him
on the beak.
Despite Tiger's even tempera­ment,
he does have a playful side
to his nature. One of his favorite
games is to avoid his trainers
when they come for him by flying
from one side of the aviary to
another.
"He's got a few little tricks he
likes to play," Stokes said.
Tiger's main job is public rela­tions
for Auburn. His fans can
view him any time at the„ aviary
and he makes many * public
appearances. Stokes said Tiger
made his longest continuous
appearance last summer when he
spent two weeks at the National
Boy Scout Jamboree.
Last year it cost about $1,800 to
keep and care for Tiger, that sum
included Tiger's food, which usu­ally
consists of chicken gizzards
and a special meal for birds of
prey.
Stokes estimates costs will be
more this year because the cage
needs to be rewired and a utility
pole replaced. Money for Tiger's
upkeep comes solely from
donations.

SGA tries
to increase
voter turnout
By Siona Carpenter
Assistant News Editor
With the Miss Homecoming
elections today, organizers are
hoping that their "massive pub­licity
campaign" to increase stu­dent
voter participation has
worked.
"It only takes a minute to vote,".
said Pattie Cobb, director of SGA
elections. Over the past few
years, she added, voting in home­coming
elections has been low.
Cobb said she doesn't think
independents fail to vote because
they believe elections are too.
Greek-oriented. "I think people
just don't think about [voting],"
she said.
This year 29 separate polling
places are located across campus.
Vying for the title of Miss
Homecoming 1985 are Jenny
Jackson, a sophmore in Pre-
Business; Laura Nigro, a senior
in finance; Melanie Sivley, a jun­ior
in nursing; Stephanie Staff, a
junior in psychology; and Ann
Tucker, a senior in marketing.
Homecoming candidates were
chosen bya panel of judgesfrom
the community and the admin­istration.
One of the five candidates will
be crowned Miss Homecoming
Saturday during halftime at the
Auburn-East Carolina game.

What is Greek Pizza,
Anyway?
At Mata's, Greek Pizza means
a pizza prepared with care and
attention.
First, Mata's original pizza dough is
mixed, and allowed to rise, delicately
filling the pan.
^mmmmmmmmmamammmmommmmmmammm
Then, the sauce, which has been delightfully
seasoned with just the right herbs and
spices, is spread lightly over the risen dough
Next, the chosen ingredients; hamburger
and sausage, prepared in tho Greek style, or
Canadian Bacon, pepperoni, fresh green
peppers, onions, and sliced mushrooms
are scattered over the sauce.

Lastly, comes the cheese, and lots of it too;
mild, white, 100% pure cheese from Wisconsin.
wmammmmmmmmaasm^mamm^msmmBmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Finally, the pizza is placed in the oven
for about 20 minutes, time enough to
allow the cheese to melt, and all the
aromas and flavors to combine and
compliment one another to produce a
pizza you won't soon forget.
. . . As a matter of fact, you'll soon begin to
anticipate your next visit to Mata's.
Warning: Greek Pizza has been known
to be habit forming.

Increased enrollment
brings quality, growth
By Cheryl Jodis
News Staff
With enrollment increasing,
the quality of students and
faculty improving, and several
plans for construction of educa­tional
facilities, Auburn's educa­tion
is on the move, said Presi­dent
James E. Martin.
Enrollment is a "controlled
growth" of about one percent
increase per year, said Martin.
The target enrollment for this
year was 19,100 and next year's
target with a one percent increase
will be approximately 19,300.
There are almost 700 black stu­dents
this year, according to
Martin, up from last year's total
of 583. In explaining this
increase, Martin said he has
"always felt the minority stu­dents
were no different from any
others." He said "good'minority
students look for good progress"
which is what they come to
Auburn for.
The average ACT score is 23.2
for incoming freshmen while the
regional average score is 17.5 and
the national average is 18.9.
The faculty has "become more
competitive with increased'
faculty salaries," Martin said.
"When we advertise for a
vacancy we get applications from
outstanding people from out­standing
universities," he added.
Students who graduated last
spring completed a 35-question
exit poll to determine their opin­ions
of the education they
received here at Auburn, Accord­ing
to Martin 84.7 percent said
the teaching in their departments
was very good, and 96.5 percent
said they thought highly enough
of their education at Auburn to
recommend the University to
others.
Of the several construction pro­jects
planned for the University,
Martin mentioned the doubling
of the library, plans for a new
chemistry building, and con­struction
on the Education Cen­ter
across from the library as pro­jects
he hopes to see completed
this year.
From the tuition increase
which will be implemented
spring quarter, Martin said $1
million each year will be taken to
equip classrooms with needed
materials.

still in need of cure
By Kristi Francis
News Staff
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease
which strikes approximately
1,000 people each month between
the ages of 15 and 45, said Mrs.
B.B. McWhorter, a spokesman
for the Alabama chapter of the
MS society.
There are approximately 40
known cases of MS in the Auburn
area. "For every one case that is
known about, there are three that
are not known about," McWhort­er
said.
MS is not contagious, it is hot
inherited, and there is no known
cause or cure.
The disease attacks the central
nervous system, destroying fatty
substances called myelin which
" surround and protect nerve fibers
of the brain and spinal cord. In
an MS victim, nerve impulses to
the brain are interrupted and
distorted.
Some symptoms of MS include
numbness, muscle weakness,
tingling sensations, slurred
speech, blurred or double vision,
unusual fatigue, muscle cramps
and spasms, poor coordination,
problems with bowel, bladder
and sexual functins and
paralysis. These symptoms may
occur in any combination and
can vary from mild to severe.
Since there is not yet a cure for
MS, the MS society is always
looking for ways to fund
research. The society has
initiated a fund raising competi­tion
between 150 universities in
49 states. The program, Students
Against Multiple Sclerosis or
SAMS for short, is also sponsored
by corporations such as MTV, the
Hilton Hotel, and Eastern
Airlines, said Millie Keene,
chairman of Auburn's SAMS
chapter and Southeastern
representative to the national
board of directors.
Limo • continued from A-l
lenge. He had never tooled with
cars or motors and saw the
limousine service as a good vehi­cle
for a mechanics education.
Van Nostrand should be learning
something- he's owner, director,
mechanic and a driver in this
business.
One day Van Nostrand hopes
to get a larger limousine, maybe
with a VCR and phone. "Right
now I'm not a deep pocket
because I'm so young. I'm still
going to school."
Durr
"Well, I came from Alabama so
I didn't know where they wanted
me to go," she said.
Durr faced one of her most try­ing
times in the mid 50's when
she and her husband were
"accused of plotting to overthrow
the government and being tools
in a Red plot" daring Senate
Internal Security hearings into
alleged subversions in the South.
Her husband, who was a Fed­eral
Communications Commis­sioner
in the 40's, was ruined pol­itically.
Durr still looks back on
that time with bitterness, but
does not let the past cloud her out­look
for the future.

"You win what you set out to
get and then you find there is
some mountain left to be
climbed," she said. The fight to
eliminate voting restrictions and
establish equal rights for blacks
and women has been won but
problems remain.
"What we have today is a mass
of unwed mothers and boys with
no jobs." The answer, she said, is
to create the needed jobs.
Durr said she has listened to
the speeches of black leaders
Jesse Jackson and Louis Farak-han
and "At the very core there is
a deep anger."

BECKWITH DELIVERS
Former Auburn star now with Royals
By Chris Linville
Assistant Sports Editor
Joe Beckwith has been a busy man lately.
The 30-year-old former Auburn pitcher, now a
member of the Kansas City Royals, has been busy
celebrating the Royals seven-game victory against
the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
First, he and the team were honored with a
parade in downtown Kansas City, then the team
flew to Washington D.C. to meet President Reagan.
"It seems like we've been on and off a plane every
day," Beckwith said in a telephone interview from
his Kansas City home.
He says that winning the World Series is finally
starting to sink in with him.
"I really hadn't had time to think about it until
now," he said.
As far as meeting the president, Beckwith said,
"It was one of my personal highlights."
Beckwith, a righthander, pitched for Auburn
from 1974-77. In those years he set Southeastern
Conference records for career innings pitched with
388 and wins with 31. He also holds the Auburn
career strikeout record with 241. ,
In 1977, Beckwith was picked by the Los Angeles
Dodgers in the second round of the June free-agent
draft.
He pitched for the Dodgers from 1979-83, and was
traded to the Royals after the 1983 season.
In the fourth game of the World Series this year,
Beckwith realized a dream when he took the mound
in the sixth inning at Busch Stadium in St. Louis
with his team down 3-0.
"I knew it was my opportunity to hold them (Car­dinals)
down," he said. "It was one of the most
exciting things I've done."
Beckwith worked two innings in his brief stint,
allowing just one hit and no walks or runs while
striking out three.
I had tears in my eyes. He's worked
so hard for the opportunity.
—Bill Beckwith
-Beckwith's appearance in the World Series was
• the first ever by an Auburn player.
Another person who took a special interest in this
year's World Series is Beckwith's father Bill, who is
the ticket manager for Auburn.
"I had tears in my eyes," said the elder Beckwith,
"He's worked so hard for the opportunity."
The Royals were an underdog all season, battling
the California Angels for the division title and com­ing
back from 3-1 deficits in both the playoffs and
the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays and
the Cardinals, respectively.
Beckwith said the team never lacked confidence.
"California was in first place most of the season,
but in the second half of the season we played better."
As far as being down in the playoffs and World
Series, Beckwith said, "We knew we could win it. We
never felt out of it. St. Louis knew we could win it."
About all of the hype that is a part of a World
Series, Beckwith said, "It's definitely press-oriented.
There are plenty of distractions. We put
• them aside and played seven great ballgames."
He added, "It was exciting to play St. Louis. It
was great for Missouri and for the Midwest,
although I think our wives would have rather went
to the coast (against Los Angeles)."
Beckwith has served primarily as a middle
reliever in his two seasons with the Royals.
In 1984, he had his best season of his major league
career, pitching in 49 games and compiling an 8-4
record with a 3.40 earned run average with two
saves. In 1985, he slipped somewhat, appearing
again in 49 games, going 1-5 with a 4.07 ERA and
one save.
"The majority of the year (1985) was a good year,"
said Beckwith. "I went through one bad streak."
Beckwith said that he won't compile a lot of glow­ing
statistics because he serves mainly as the mid-

Auburn awaits ECU, Dye's first team
By Chris Roush
Assistant Sports Editor
The school where Pat Dye began his head coach­ing
career sends its team to Auburn this weekend as
the East Carolina Pirates face the Tigers.
The Pirates, 2-6 this year, will be the guest in their
second straight homecoming contest on Saturday.
East Carolina lost to Southern Mississippi 27-0 last
week in the Golden Eagles' homecoming.
East Carolina is a new face to the SEC, having
played only one conference school prior to Auburn.
The Pirates lost to Florida 24-17 in the Gators 1983
homecoming contest. i-
The Pirates have a new head coach this yeari-in
Art Baker. In 1984, Baker was an assistant coach at
Florida State, and he was offensive coordinator for
East Carolina in 1983. Baker has also been head
coach at Furman and The Citadel and has a career
record of 59-54-5.
After being ranked 20th in the final AP poll of
1983 with an 8-3 record, East Carolina slipped to 2-9
last year. They began 1985 with impressive victories
over N.C. State (33-14) and SW Texas State (27-16).
However, the Pirates have now lost their last six
games. Included in these games were losses to Penn
State (17-10), Miami (27-15) and South Carolina;
(52-10).
Heading the Pirate offense will be sophomore
Ron Jones. The 5-11, 186 pound quarterback
accounted for 219 yards in total offense against
Penn State and runs a 4.4 40.
In the backfield behind Jones is senior tailback
Tony Baker and sophomore fullback Anthony
Simpson. Baker rushed for 164 yards in the SW
Texas State victory, and added 147 yards in a 16-14
loss to SW Louisiana.
Senior left cornerback Kevin Walker is the bright
spot in the Pirate defense. The 5-11,185 pounder has
led the nation in pass interceptions throughout
much of the season and had eight before the South­ern
Miss contest. Walker intercepted three passes
against Miami and two against SW Texas State.
Walker also specializes in blocking punts. He has
blocked two this year and has returned one for a
touchdown.

JUST A LITTLE SHORT
Offensive linemen Steve Wallace and Jeff Lott react to Tiger loss
East Carolina faces one of the most difficult
schedules in the nation. The Pirates have played'
Penn State, South Carolina and Miami, and still
have LSU remaining on their schedule after the
Auburn contest.
The Tigers and East Carolina have two common
opponents on their schedules. Auburn beat SW Loui­siana
49-7, while the Pirates fell behind early and
couldn't come back against the Rajun Cajuns. The
Tigers were also victorious over Southern Missis­sippi
29-18, while East Carolina was shut out last
week.
East Carolina, which will play Auburn again
early next year, replaces Louisville as the originally
scheduled homecoming opponent.
. In his first head coaching job, Dyje led the
Pirates to a 48-18-1 record over six years.. In 1978 he
led them to their last bowl appearance, a 3543 vic­tory
over Louisiana Tech in the Independence
Bowl.
After a demoralizing loss to Florida, look for
Auburn to get healthy this weekend before travel­ing
to Athens to face Georgia. East Carolina, bar­ring
the biggest upset of the century, looks to be
headed for their seventh straight loss. The home­coming
contest is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
Auburn man represents athletes
Kickliter: An agent and a gentleman
By Chuck Cole
Assistant Sports Editor
The professional athlete's
agent has a tarnished image.
Many are incompetent, some are
dishonest. The average sports
fan considers them the scourge of
professional athletics.
George Kickliter of Auburn is
an agent. The beefy gentleman
also puffs cigars, perhaps as a
sign of his affluence. But Kick-liter
is not the typical greed
manipulator that many agents
are .made out to be. He is an
accountant, an advisor, and
sometimes a father-figure to 35
professional football players.
Kickliter, 49, is a native of St.
Petersburg, Fla. He attended
Auburn University for two years
before graduating from the Uni­versity
of Florida. After a six year
stint as an accountant, he
enrolled at Stetson Law School.
He earned his degree in 1967 and
became a successful practicing
attorney in St. Petersburg. In
1975, he brought his wife and four
children to Auburn, an area he
always loved.
"I was bored when I left the
practice," Kickliter said from his
office on Gay Street. "Reese
McCall (a former Auburn player)
talked to me about representing
him. I spent a year looking into it.
As it turned out, I wasn't pre­pared
to serve as Reese's agent
that year. I do represent him now,
but William Andrews was my
first client."
Today there are more than 1600
agents registered with the
National Football League Play­er's
Union. Credibility require­ments
are almost non-existent.
Kickliter is a board member of the
Association of Representatives
for Professional Athletes. Unfor­tunately;
the organization is cur­rently
too weak to administer res­trictions
forcing an agent to have
qualifications.
Anybody who fills out a form
can represent pro football players
for at least one year, after which
he must be approved based on the
work he has done. An astounding
90 percent of today's agents are
working in their first year, the
conditional period.
"The requirements should be
more rigid," said the amiable
Kickliter over the twang of coun­try
music drawing through his
stereo speakers. "Anything
should be done to bring the repu­tation
of agents at least above the
mafia. As it is now, anyone may
come in and get a player," he
added.
The duties of an agent are var­ied.
His most obvious task is to
negotiate his client's contract. He
also represents the client in any
financial dealings, from financ­ing
a home to real estate
investments.
That is often the simplest part
of his job. "The personal prob­lems
of the players take up a
great deal of time," said Kickliter,
a self-proclaimed workaholic. His
facial expressions reveal a deep
concern for these physically
gifted men, many of whom have
been spoiled by fans and alumni
throughout their young lives.
"I've lost some sleep over them,"
he admitted.
His work is appreciated. Prom-1
inently displayed on his wall is
an action photograph of William
Andrews of the Atlanta Falcons.
Andrew's handwritten message
is directed to "Dad."
Player salaries have escalated
in recent years, to the dismay of
management and fans. Many
NFL players make a larger
salary than President Reagan.
Kickliter hesitated when asked
if his clients are overpaid. "If
