Disaster won't slow
down AU research
CHALLENGING STUDENTS-It began when a student at
Challenger crew member Christa McAuliffe's school com­mented
that if every student in America gave one dollar, they
could rebuild the shuttle. A junior high school in Montgomery
took the challenge and began a fundraising campaign which
has spread across the nation. Here, the Air Force ROTC has
set up a table this week in War Eagle Cafeteria and are giving
away stickers for those who contribute.

The shuttle disaster will not
delay Auburn's research for Pres­ident
Reagan's Strategic Defense
Initiative, the director of the
University's Space and Power
Institute said last week.
Frank Rose said that although
the power systems Auburn is
, working to develop must be tested
in space, they do not have to be
tested on one of the shuttles. If
necessary, the experiments could
be done on free flying rockets.
Auburn heads a $19 million
federal program to develop effi­cient
power technology for use in
the SDI program.
The University had hoped to
have an experiment on a shuttle
within a year. Rose said that it is
obvious that won't happen
because "nobody is going to be
flying, for a while."
But he said it would have no
real effect on SDI or the research
because those experiments in
space are still a long way up the
road.
At this point the funding has
not even been allocated for tests
on the shuttle, Rose said.
Rose said he was upset by ear­lier
newspaper reports which
said the research would be
delayed because of the shuttle
tragedy. He said that this wasn't
true and that it must have been
taken out of context.

"The'Great- Gotitr«ver»yf
Government Officials and the
Press" brought together two
prominent city officials and
newspaper publishers to discuss
the problems in the relationship
between local governments and
the press.
The two city officials were
Doug Watson, Auburn city man-
Cox
ager since 1982, and G.H. "Spud"
Wright, presiding Lee County
' circuit court judge. Representing
the press WerePa*! •'Demst pub­lisher
or The Auburn Bulletin,
and Paul Cox, publisher/general
manager of the Opelika-
Auburn News .
Dr. Jerry E. Brown, Auburn
University professor of journal­ism,
moderated the discussion.
Among the major problems
discussed were the lack of com­munication
between reporters
and city officials, the lack of
cooperation of the city police and
the high turnover rate of
reporters.
Brown began the discussion by
asking Watson how he felt about
the press. "I have a favorable
feeling for the press," he replied,
"but the failure to get enough
background information is a
consistent problem."
Cox said that it was difficult to
get the facts from the right party,
and Davis said that many repor­ters
don't know the correct-governmental
jargon.
Both parties feel that a well
informed reporter and asking the
right questions will solve this
problem.
Cox and Davis both agreed
that the greatest problem
between the press and the city of
Auburn occurs with the Auburn
Police Department. "We have an
unprofessional police depart­ment,"
said Davis: "The Auburn
police have squirreled away high
status offenders for years." Cox
added that the police should treat
all people alike and fairly and not
conceal pertinent information.
Wright said that the withhold­ing
of misdemeanor offender's
names is against the Alabama
state law unless the person is a
juvenile or given youthful
offender status by the court. "The
police must have a good working
relationship with the press," he
said, but Auburn police refuse to
release matters of public record to
the press, causing a bad relation­ship.
When asked what the press
could do about the relationship,
Wright replied, "They can raise
hell."
Watson said that the Auburn
Police Department has educated
police officers who do a lot of
work and have a 95 to 100 percent
indictment rate. "Every police
department has some problem.
Find the bad apples and get them
out of the system," he said.
The following day a memoran­dum
was issued by Watson stat­ing
Auburn Police Chief Bill
Holder will issue a memo to all
his supervisors instructing them
to make all misdemeanor records
available to the public.
Holder said that he was not
aware of the problem since he

"Whether I've met challenges
should be left up to others," wrote
Dean Edward H. Hobbs in a
recent letter. If the "others"
would take a close look, there is
success behind every one of those
challenges.
Hobbs, who has served Auburn
University as dean of the School
of Arts and Sciences, has
announced his retirement on
July 1 after 19 years of service to
Auburn, "It has been fulfilling
and extremely interesting," said
Hobbs. "I've seen so many things
happen and develop."
During that time Hobbs has
served Arts and Sciences, the
oldest and largest school at
Auburn, in many facets.
When the school was reorgan­ized
and established as the
School of Arts and Sciences in
1968, it contained 18 percent of
Auburn students. Now it
accounts for 26 percent, includ­ing
a quarter of all graduate
students.
Another figure that is more
impressive to Hobbs is that Arte
and Sciences produces 42 percent
of the student credit hours in the
University.
Hobbs' work has been praised
by President James E. Martin,
who said, "He has done a great
many things to improve the
faculty in the 16 departments in
the school, which currently
attracts more students than any
other on campus."
But quality, not just quantity,
is important to Hobbs. "Quanta-tively
we've made progress," said
Hobbs. "But we've grown quality-wise
also."
"I'm very proud of the fact that
our record of gaining admissions
of our pre-health professions is
one of the best in the South. Only
Vanderbilt can equal us relative
to those who apply."
While Hobbs has been dean,
the students enrolled in the
school has more than doubled
from 2,000 to around 4,600. The
number of faculty has risen from
250 to 492.
The Mathematics or English
Department at Auburn now pro­duce
more credit hours than all of
Birmingham Southern or Hunt­ingdon
College, and math produ­ces
more than Livingston Uni­versity.
To Hobbs, this shows the
economy and efficiency of large
institutions like Auburn.
But Hobbs refuses to take
credit for all his accomplish­ments.
"We have a tremendous
set of department heads, as well
as faculty and students," said
Hobbs. "It's a tough job to do well
Hobbs
and we've been blessed. My asso­ciates
here in the dean's office as
well should be credited."
Hobbs, who was a native of
Selma, received his bachelor's
degree in history from the Uni­versity
of North Carolina in 1943.
Immediately after graduation,
Hobbs entered the Navy and was
sent to the University of Colo­rado.
Not only did he study Jap­anese
there for 15 months, but he
also met his wife, Marleah.
His primary purpose being to
intercept Japanese radio signals,
Hobbs was- stationed at Pearl
Harbor until the end of the war.
He was there preparing for the
invasion of Japan when they
dropped the bomb.
After the war, Hobbs flew back
to the mainland and then out to
Alaska. He remembers vividly
the flight from Anchorage out to
the Aleutian Islands.
' The airplane was bouncing all
over the place and the only people
on the plane were Hobbs, another
Navy man and the pilot. "The
plane was practically empty,"
said Hobbs. "We were sitting
back there scared to death."
Hobbs discovered that the
pilot, whose sanity Hobbs ques­tioned,
had seen some caribou on
the ground after a mail stop. The
pilot was chasing the scared
animals at an altitude of about
500 feet.
After his retirement from
Auburn, Hobbs hopes to audit the
Japanese classes that will be
taught here next year. "I've for­gotten
98 pecent of it. It'd be
interesting to see what's in the
subconscious."
After his service, Hobbs earned
master's degrees from Alabama
and Harvard in political science.
See HOBBS, A-12
"It will have a minimal effect
on us because the experiments in
space are small," he said.
Meanwhile another researcher
working with NASA on a space
telescope said that he hopes that
whatever problems caused the
loss of the shuttle can be solved
within a year so that his project
will not be delayed.
Malcolm Crocker, head of
mechanical engineering, said
that it won't affect the telescope
research. Auburn has a $1.2 bil­lion
project with NASA to study
the vibrations of various mate-ials
and develop onematerial which
would have the least amount of
vibration in space.
"We expect that research to
continue," Crocker said.
Researchers have developed
gyroscope-like flywheels which,
will rotate on the telescope at
varying revolutions to cancel out
the different gravity pulls of
Earth.
' "This will, however induce
vibration, and that's what we've
been looking into. The vibration
cannot be canceled out entirely,
but it can be controlled," Crocker
said.
The researchers have com­posed
the skeleton of the tele­scope
with a light graphytepoxy
material similar to what many
tennis rackets are now made of.
The material is strong like steel,
but weighs a lot less.
Crocker said the telescope was
to be released from the shuttle
bay this summer, but may have
to be delayed.
Fraternities
adopt new
liquor rules
By Bret Pippen
Assistant News Editor
Fraternity- presidents voted
Sunday night to adopt as new
Interfraternity Council policy, a
form regulating the serving of
alcohol which was drawn up two
weeks ago by the Alcohol Aware­ness
Ad Hoc Committee.
The new policy regards any
social function held by, at, or for
any fraternity, on or off univer­sity
property, and will take effect
spring quarter 1986.
Kevin McCarthy, IFC presi­dent,
said that the IFC saw the
need to regulate alcohol at the
University and took the respon­sibility
to do something about it.
"It's going to be a trial and
error period; all the presidents
seemed to be in support of it. We
are expecting a lot of coop­eration."
The policy includes the
following:
—Hosts of any event must
insure that all local and state
laws are followed; this will
include checking of I.D. at any
event at which alcohol is served.
-All events will be BYOB
beginning fall 1986, excluding
parent and/or alumni events.
—At -any social function
(excluding one-to-one swaps or
"socials") the host(s) must secure
the services of at least one sworn
police officer.
—All social events, whether
planned or unplanned, will be
limited except to members,
pledges, and guests. It is the
responsibility of the host(s) to
insure a viable and effective
enforcement of this policy (i.e.
I.D. stamp, invitation check at
door, I.D. bracelet, etc...).
—At any social function where
alcohol is served and at any one-to-
one swap or social an alterna­tive
beverage (other than water),
and food items must be served
free of charge. This beverage and
food must be easily accessible, in
plain view, and next to any alco­hol
being served.
—Punch and beer must be
dispensed by a sober, responsible
individual. There will be no self-service
allowed.
—More emphasis will be placed
on the theme of the event and not
on the consumption of alcohol.
—It is understood that the
IFC/Panhellenic officers have
the right to visit functions where
alcohol is being served for the

What do you think?
Should the University lower the
required ACT entrance score from 18
to 16? Why or why not?
David King; 04 MT
It probably will increase the
number of people who come here.
However, lowering the ACT score
to 16 is an insult to minorities. I
think it is a cop-out to talk about
lowering the score from 18 to 16.
Other things can be done other
than lowering standards. We can
have better recruiting. Auburn
needs to recruit and explain that
minorities do have opportunities
here at Auburn.
Hyun Chun; 04 EE
As far as the scores go, I don't
think anybody should be treated
differently. Maybe a lower score
for foreign students should be
accepted for English courses. I
don't think lowering the scores is
really necessary.
'--/
Chris Day; 03 EC
I think it would lower the repu­tation
of Auburn. It probably
would attract minorities but I
don't think the increase would be
high enough to make a differ­ence.
Lorenzo Ellis; 01 PB
People that make 16's aren't
dumb. The ACT scores are not a
very good measure of people's
aptitude. I think school officials
should keep an open mind about
it and check high school records
as well as the scores. A lot more
minorities will be able to get in.
David Williamson; 01 PN
I think we need to have high
requirements to get good stu­dents.
I don't think it would
attract more minority students.
We need to keep our require­ments.
Kelvin Williams; GSC 02
I don't think the scores should
be lowered. We have to have cer­tain
standards. Ifyou don't qual­ify
to get in then you won't do
well. Auburn may get more stu­dents
but it will also have more
drop-outs.
91
Cassandra Freeman; 02
PTN
Lower ACT scores could help
bring more minorities, but you
have to have other things to
spark the interest of minority
students. Lowering the scores
may help but other factors are
also important. The social life for
minorities lacks at Auburn and
you have to appeal to the social
sense of students as well as the
academic.

Still looking
Government seeking prisoners of war, missing in action
By Dara Kloss
Feature* Editor
As of August 14 of this year, in
the largest turnover since the end
of the Vietnam War, 26 American
remains were positively identi­fied
by U.S. officials. One of those
identified was Lt. Col. Edwin
Goodrich of the United States Air
Force.
For Auburn University student
Kim Goodrich, the positive iden­tification
of her father was the
close of one chapter of her life, but
she has not stopped her crusade
to make others aware of the
plight of unaccounted POWs and
MIAs.
Goodrich is an assistant area
coordinator for the National
League of Families (NLF), which
is a support group for families of
Vietnam POWs and MIAs. The
group's goal is the full account­ing
for POWs and MIAs in South
East Asia. Headed by a deter­mined
Ann Mills Grifiths, execu­tive
director of NLF, the group
has gained lobby strength in
Congress and has helped arrange
cooperation between the Viet­namese
government and ours in
the accounting of these American
soldiers.
Goodrich's father was declared
MIA after he was forced to eject
from his plane in March of 1967
during a reconnaissance mis­sion.
His co-pilot was captured
and forced to spend six years as a
POW before returning to the Uni­ted
States in 1973. Goodrich was
never seen again after his para­chute
landing.
The personal pain of dealing
with a label like MIA is explained
by Goodrich. "My father died three
different times for me, once when
the blue car pulled up in front of
the house...again when all of the
POWs came home and my father
never got off the plane...and
finally when they identified his
remains this year."
Goodrich balances a half-inch
thick report on her lap stating
why the government identifies
the remains to be those of her
Students working
to help MS victims
There is a growing spirit in the
world today. The spirit is that of
reaching out to others in their
time of need. People helping
people is not exactly a new thing,
but it exists today in numbers
greater than ever before.
First there was Live-Aid, when
rock stars reached out to the
needy of a far-away country.
Then there was Farm-Aid, when
recording stars helped those in
need in their own country.
And now there is Students
Against Mutliple Sclerosis
(SAMS), a program in which
students at 140 colleges nation­wide
are raising money for
victims of a killer disease.
The SAMS program has hit
Auburn, already involving
several students who are out to
"bust MS", a disease which
strikes 200 young adults weekly,
most often between the ages of 18
and 34. !<„,
Beverly Noyse, director of the
national SAMS program, said
that the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society decided to
implement this program on
college campuses because college
students need something construc­tive
to channel their energy
toward.
This sentiment has been
transpired to Auburn. Millie
Keene, director of Auburn's
SAMS program, said, "Each
generation has something
attributed to it. Our generation
could be known for wiping out
MS."
Besides working for a good
cause, the students involved have
added incentive: The university
that raises the most money to
fight MS will win a rock concert
broadcast nationally over MTV
from their campus.
Auburn SAMS have already
raised more than $7,000, and the
program has not officially begun,
said Keene. The money has come
from selling shirts in connection
with Tiger Rags on t h e
concourse before football games,
a bake sale, a jelly bean guess,
private contributions and the
Tina Turner concert proceeds.
"Auburn's goal is to raise
$30,000" Keene said.
The official fund raising begins
in February with three events
planned. The first event, the
"Rock Alike," is a rock star look-alike
contest. Auburn's newest
celebrities gathered Feb. 1 at the
War Eagle Supper Club at 9 p.m.
to kick off the SAMS program.
Other students were there to vote
for their favorite contestants at
$1 per vote, with all proceeds
going to the SAMS campaign,
Keene said.
The next two events will be the
Heart of Rock 'n Roll on
Valentine's Day and the final
"Rock Alike" competition on Feb.
28.
The top contestantin the "Rock
Alike" competiton, which will be
based on performance and fund-raising,
will go on to compete in a
regional lip-synch contest. The
winner from this contest will
perform during a video lip-synch
competition to be aired on MTV.
The winner of the final lip-synch
competition will win a paid
summer internship at MTV
Networks in New York City.
Nationally SAMS is receiving
help from Eastern Airlines and
the Hilton Hotel chain. Two
official sponsors are MTV and
Swatch. Local businesses such as
WCGQ, Budweiser, Tiger Rags,
War Eagle Supper Club and
Wendy's are supporting the
program.
As evidence that the spirit of
SAMS is spreading across
Alabama, Gov. Wallace has
signed a proclamation declaring
February as "Bust MS Month."

while alive and of his bones.
Goodrich talks even more
about her father. "My father was
committed to this country. I think
the country should keep its com­mittment
to those men." She says
she believes that the administra­tion
owes it to the men who may
still be in Vietnam, Cambodia or
Laos to make full accounting a
priority. She is interested in the
Smith and Mclntire lawsuit and
is in favor of the stand they're
t a k i n g with t h e govern­ment.
Bill Stewart, a senior finance
major at the University, desires
to make more students aware of
the POW/MIA issue. Stewart's
father was shot down March 15,
1966, declared MIA and is still
unaccounted for.
Speaking of the government's
progress in accounting for POWs
and MIAs, Stewart says that he
doesn't think the government is
doing what they say they are
doing. "I'm not in this to put
Bracelet
down the government in any
way; or the administration, I just
want the truth and I'm tired of
waiting," he adds.

FORMER GENERAL
Westmoreland ponders Wednesday's speech
Westmoreland discusses Vietnam
By Paul Sullivan
Editor
General William Westmore­land,
former U.S. Army Chief of
Staff and troop commander dur­ing
WWII, Korea and Vietnam
spoke about Vietnam and foreign
affairs last night at the Student
Activities Building.
The 72-year-old retired general
is an outspoken defender of the
military's war operations and
recently accepted an out-of-court
settlement of a controversial
slander suit against CBS.The
CBS documentary accused the
recepient of four Distinguished
Service Medals of falsifying
reports of the oppositions's troop
strength while he was command­ing
in Vietnam.
Westmoreland was named
Time Man of the Year in 1965 and
has written a book entitled A
Soldier Reports telling about his
40 years in the army.
A holder of five honorary
degrees, Westmoreland lectures
extensively and has criticized the
interference of politicians in the
military strategy in Vietnam.
Westmoreland has recently
compared the present situation in
Central America, and specifi­cally
El Salvador, to Vietnam
and warns of the same mistakes
being made with U.S. govern­ment
involvement in those coun­tries.

Mclntire lawsuit, Stewart says
he believes it will be a time when
someone's got to provide some
answers. Stewart sees benefit
from the suit for POW/MIA
awareness, if only people start to
ask themselves, "What if...?"
Stewart sees the most effective
course family members and con­cerned
citizens can take is to
write letters to the president and
to congressmen to make legisla­tors
look at the issue and recog­nize
it as priority.
There may be live Americans
still in South East Asia, but no
one really knows, says Stewart.
He finds discrepancy with the
manner in which the defense
department handles reports of
live sightings. Stewart says that
it will use circumstantial evi­dence
to declare a man MIA but
will not accept the same kind of
evidence, such as a live sighting
report to investigate the probabil­ity
of live Americans in South
East Asia.
Stewart says he would like to
see students educated about the
plight of POW/MIAs and to
become involved in urging the
administration to make full
accounting a priority.
He plans to meet these goals by
bring Vietnam POWs to campus
to talk about the accounting
issue.
A court suit filed against the
United States government early
this fall by two military men is
causing some controversy over
the administration's accounting
of Vietnam prisoners of war and
those labeled missing in action.
Mark Smith, a United States
Army special forces major, and
Sgt. 1st Class Melvin Mclntire
are the originators of the suit
against the government. While
on a fact-finding mission, Smith
and Mclntire made contacts that
would have enabled them to
bring three live Americans out of
Vietnam, but say they were pre­cluded
from doing so when Amer­ican
officials were notified. The
pair claim that they were sent
back to the states and told to
forget anything that happened.
Winter figures released,
Arts, Sciences largest
With 4,363 students, Arts and
Sciences continues to be the larg­est
of Auburn University's col­leges
and schools, winter quarter
enrollment figures indicate.
But Pharmacy registered the
largest percentage increase over
one year ago, with an enrollment
increase of 15.4 percent to 225
students, recently released fig­ures
indicate.
As earlier reported, 18,060 stu­dents
are studying on campus
this quarter, Auburn's second
largest winter enrollment ever.
The total is down 29 students
from last year's record winter
quarter enrollment, but Registrar
Tom Stallworth said he thinks
the reason is that 87 more stu­dents
graduated at the end of fall
quarter this year than last.
Further analyzing this quar­ter's
numbers on the main cam­pus,
Engineering is Auburn's
second largest college with 3,647
students. Business follows with
3,052; then Education, 1,536;
Architecture and Fine Arts,
1,493; Agriculture and Biological
Sciences, 722; Home Economics,
436; Veterinary Medicine, 359;
Nursing, 229; Pharmacy, 225 and
Forestry, 92.
Graduate enrollment at
Auburn is up 129 students this
quarter over one year ago and
now stands at 1,843. Undergrad­uate
enrollment is currently
16,217.
Winter quarter also sees a con­tinued
increase in the number of
black students at Auburn. Black
student enrollment now stands at
623, up 52 students, or 9.1 percent,
from a year ago.

EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS
Alcohol crackdown
Congratulations to the Intrafra-ternity
Council for passing strict
codes concerning alcohol consump­tion
earlier this week.
The new policy calls for all frater­nity
events, on or off campus, to be
BYOB by fall of 1986. Fraternities
will no longer be able to offer free
liquor at any event except those for
alumni or family. Until then, the
policy provides strict codes for frats
to follow concerning the serving of
alcohol.
Fraternities will now have to
check I.D. cards of all people at all
events where alcohol is served and
must also provide a policeman at all
events except socials. Also included
in the new policy is a provision that
requires food and alternative bever­ages
to be available at any event
where alcohol is served.
Controversy is sure to surround a
decision like this that severly limits
and controls alcohol consumption.
People have already begun to dis­play
dissatisfaction over the IFC's
attempt to control social events.
Buckling seat belts
Buckle up!
We've all seen the television com­mercials
and heard the radio spots
urging us to buckle our car seat belts
for safety. We've all also been told
the statistics about how many peo­ple
die in car accidents every year,
and about how many of those deaths
could have been prevented if the
people had worn a seat belt.
We all know the advantages of
buckling up. We all know we are
supposed to do it everytime we get in
our car. Many of us buckle up most
of the time, while others of us some­times
do it on long trips. But how
many of us really buckle our seat
belts every single time we hop into a
car?
Well, from now on, we may have no
choice. There is talk in the state
legislature about passing a law-requiring
that all front seat pas­sengers
in a moving vehicle buckle
up.
If the law passes, we may be writ­ten
tickets for not buckling up.
Sounds like a good idea, huh? But
how realistic is such a law?
The intent behind the proposal is
great—buckle up and live.
But a seat belt law would be diffi­cult
to enforce. Just imagine the
mass chaos the first day the law
goes into effect as policemen try to
pull over every car that has a seat
beltless driver in it. It would be an
easy law to break, and an almost
impossible, and costly, one to
enforce.
Buckling up is a matter of respon-sility,
not law. If people want to be
mature, safe and responsible driv­ers,
then they will wear a seat belt.
If not, the consequences are theirs
to deal with.
Bell woes on Plains
The bells toll for no one these days
at Haley Center.
They don't ring at Thach or
Tichenor, either.
The bells mysteriously stopped
ringing on their religious schedule
last week, and residents of buildings
on Thach Avenue have had no way
to set their watches or know exactly
when to begin or end a lecture.
Well, the mystery is over, folks.
The wiring of the bell system was
accidentally dug up in the construc­tion
going on around Haley Center,
but funding is not available to solve
the problem.
So we'll just all have to bear with
the bell-lessness for a while until the
University comes up with the money
to make repairs.
In the meantime, if your teacher's
lecture runs over the hour, just
remind him by noisily packing up
your bookbag and hastily walking
out the door.
Teachers, if students are tardy to
class and insist on blaming it on the
bells, just dock 10 or 20 points off
their final grade.
Things will be back to normal
before long.

Reaganism not state of Union
But even i f the plan may not be a
popular one among fraternities, it is
a necessary one for several reasons.
The new tougher and stricter DUI
laws in the state and the recent
abundance of lawsuits arising out of
drunk driving cases have made pro-
. visions like this a necessity. It is
now possible for a host (i.e. frater­nity)
to be legally liable for a car
accident involving a drunk driver
who may have left a party where
alcohol was being served.
The fraternities may no longer be
able to offer free beer and booze to
their brothers, but they are now no
longer legally liable for any accident
that may occur as a result of serving
alcohol at their parties. The brothers
and their dates will still be able to
drink at parties, but they will have
to provide their own liquor.
We commend and support the IFC
for taking such a strong stand. The
fraternities on campus must realize
that the IFC is not trying to control
parties or drinking, but that it is try­ing
to protect them from possible
lawsuits in the future.
The Reagan revolution, born at the
1980 Republican National Convention
in Detroit and bolstered by two landslide
presidential elections with its hero
Ronald Reagan, is finally shaking the-pillars
of government and society as
many experts predicted.
Tuesday night's State of the Union
address appointed a broad agenda for
the remaining three years of the Reagan
presidency. A review of the savier of
conservative's first five years indicates a
disturbing majority, if you're a Reagan
revolutionist, of his goals that have yet
to be satisfied.
Reaganism offered a conservative
menu of political and social delights and
like a college student's homework, the
easiest tasks were the first assignments
met and conquered.
The immediate pouring of billions into
defense contracts creating jobs and
reducing unemployment was certainly
painless.
Cutting taxes, over a three year
period, was equally bearable and enjoy­able
for all.
Monthly rhetorical blasts at the vil­lainous
Russians and aiding what we
termed "freedom fighters" constituted
U.S. foreign policy.
The infamous "misery index" (infla­tion
and unemployment rates combined)
used effectively for campaigning
against a helpless Jimmy Carter was
dragged from the above 20 percent mark
to its current level of 10.8 percent.
The drop was attributed to the main­stays
of Reaganism while the budget
deficit began to expand (estimated
$220.5 billion for 1986) like the list of
Alabama gubernatorial candidates.
Also domestically, while the balanced
budget fairy tale was apparently being
buried, another Reagan Administration
concoction, the Strategic Defense Initia­tive
was being labeled by those omni­present
experts as another fairy tale.
Absent from the constructive spot­light
were front-line campaign issues
like abortion, prayer in schools, budget
balancing and returning some federal
power to the states.
The theory was definitely better than
the practice.
However the passage and implimen-tation
of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings
budget-balancing bill accompanied by
U.S. House approval of a tax reform bill
should reward Reagan a heightened
sense of accomplishment.
Both bills didn't necessarily originate
with the President, but both required his
graces before seeing any promising
light.
The feared budgetary effects of
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings sent federal,
state and local officials squirming and
crying like Dale Brown would if you con­fiscated
his doctor's excuses.
Cuts dictated by the legislation will
reportedly total at least $77.7 billion for
fiscal 1986 and 1987 and if the law
remains sacred, balance the budget by
1990.
Reagan's persuasive powers will be
propelled to their limits as he attempts to
slash budgets according to his agenda,
not the Senate's, or more importantly, a
Democratic controlled House nervously
eyeballing an election year.
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings and the
tax-reform bill, awaiting Senate action
are the first true guns of the Reagan
revolution.
Armaments left unassembled present
what was originally thought to be a last­ing
power Reagan was to wield.
Liberals wailed and doomsayed at the
notion of Reagan nominating, for Con­gressional
approval, new right judges to
fill the expected several Supreme Court
vacancies.
Three years of Reagan rule remain,
and the President has relished only one
opportunity to nominate a High Court
member.
For various reasons, the openings
haven't arisen which has hampered the
balance of the conservative social
docket.
Victims of the Court's stability have
been conservative efforts "to reverse pro-abortion
decisions and put prayer back
in the public schools.
As for restoring power to the states,
the embarrassment and aggravation we
have shared, courtesy of the Justice
Department's desegregation lawsuit,
indicates federal interference into state
matters which continues.
Internationally, the Russians have
discovered public relations with the
Kremlin version of Cliff Robertson in
Mikhail Gorbachev.
As Carter was haunted by Iranian
state-controlled terrorism, Reagan is
plagued by Kadaffi and state-supported
terrorism in the Middle East.
After a four-year respite, welcomed
relations with the Soviet Union were
discovered at the Summit.
But, as a two-time Reagan supporter,
it appears he will easily bestow the
Republican Party, not completely by his
design, with unresolved and familiar
issues with which to engage the Demo­crats
with in 1988.

Construction damaging atmosphere
Suzy
FLEMING
The first time I saw Auburn, I thought
it was beautiful. I loved the trees and the
buildings and the squirrels. Everything
looked so traditional—so college.
I didn't notice the bulldozers then.
Maybe they weren't here then, or maybe
I just didn't know where to look. I really
can't remember a time since I've been a
student when tractors and cranes wer­en't
sitting around somewhere on
campus.
I'm beginning to think Auburn under­goes
more construction and repair than
the interstates in Atlanta and Montgo­mery
combined.
I understand the reasoning behind
some of the work. Like the new engineer­ing
buildings and the adult education
building that were finished recently.
Putting up a building to house the Stra­tegic
Defense Initiative research makes
sense, and I can't blame the ROTC peo­ple
for wanting a replacement for the
hanger they have been using.
If the University is going to grow, it
has to build.
But cranes, bulldozers and men in
hard hats are becoming as familiar to
students and visitors as the sunset over
Samford Tower. Professors and stu­dents
hardly notice the distraction of
beating, banging and booming con­struction
ever-audible in the back­ground.
Why, at a time when buildings are
growing up everywhere like weeds, is
work being done on Jordan-Hare Sta­dium.
I've had it explained to me
hundreds of times about how much
money a bigger stadium will bring in
during football season.
So it'll be worth it in the long run. (The
athletic department hopes so anyway.)
What happens if the Tigers continue to
stay on the poll rollercoaster, at the top
this year and diving to the bottom the
next? Who wants to pay $24 thousand
for a skybox to see a lousy team?
Besides, even if the new and improved
stadium is filled every home game Sat­urday,
where are all those fans going to
park?
Another thing I don't understand is
the work being done on Ross Square. It
used to be so pretty and peaceful. Now it
looks like the aftermath of a cartoon
where the underground rodent sucks all
the plants into its tunnel.
I miss the roses and the trees. Even
though they would look pretty desolate
this time of year, they would look better,
than the mud trenches that have taken
their place.
I just hope the fountain gets turned
back on before I graduate. I haven't got­ten
a chance to fill it with detergent yet.
If work has to be done to fix things, it i
ought to be done on things that are
broken. Ross Square and Jordan-Hare
were in good condition until someone
decided they needed to be fixed.
It seems like it would make more sense
to fix roads or dorms or build multi-level
parking lots instead of installing
sprinkler systems where hoses can
reach and skyboxes when a hotel suite
would be more convenient.
, Maybe before I leave here in June, I
will be able to drive across campus with­out
running into a road blocked off for
construction. Maybe I will be able to
walk across campus without stepping in
muddy goo where there used to be grass.
(Of course the mud will probably be
replaced by ugly fake bricks like the ones
on the Concourse. Is anybody really
fooled by them?)
This University was established in;
1856. I wonder when it is going to be.

Racist comments show ignorance
Debbie
LONG
Sometimes I think that school is just a
matter of memorization and knowledge
that lasts only until finals are over.
Usually that is the case.
But this week I saw something that
shocked me, something that you don't
find in the history books, but that is a
major part of our culture's history. It's
embarrassing, and I understand why
teachers seem to have been reticent
about the subject.
This week I went to the library (yes,
the whole place went into shock) to look
up an advertising book for one of my
classes. We had to read a section on
blacks and advertising.
Now racism has taken on new mean­ing
to me, and I hope that I am never the
same because of it.
You wouldn't believe the way blacks
used to be depicted in magazine and
newspaper ads in the first half of the
century. '
"Mebbe it will stain mah teeth—but
here ah goes," Sambo says in a Colgate
dental cream ad. The black young
Sambo is about to bite into a big piece of
watermelon, while a white man leans
over his shoulder saying that Colgate
will clean the stains.
The name "Sambo" is hardly heard
now, but it was common in the 30s when
this particular ad was written. "Sambo"
means second son in a Nigerian lan­guage,
but hasn't been used in advertis­ing
since the 1960s because of its obvious
racial-slur connotations.
The ads with blacks as servants are
even worse. Two servants would be
standing there talking about irons or
vacuum cleaners that the family they
worked for bought for them.
In one ad, a black servant is holding a
tray and leaning over a white man and
woman. The servant says," Yassuh... it's
Genu-wine Hires." It might as well say
"Yassuh master. I is servin' ya tha best
thang."
Of course, I know all about how things
were before civil rights came along and
everything. But I had no idea that people
could get away with such advertise­ments.
Some people may think that
these ads are funny, but those kinds of
people are living with archaic attitudes.
The problem with the blacks and
whites in our generation is that we were
all too young back then to know what
was going on,(that is, if we were born at
all.) Because of this, we don't know how
far things have come since then.
You have to admit that it is going to be
a long time before there is real equality
in the USA. I wonder if it is even com­pletely
possible.
Sure there are racist whites still
around, just like there are racist blacks
too. But racism is something that can be
overcome and is on its way to eventually
becoming obsolete.
So next time you use some racist com­ment,
think about one thing, you are just
showing your ignorance.

Auburn, league official
response to LSU weak
Yes, that's right, Auburn got screwed
again by higher-ups outside and within
our own school. When will we ever learn?
It seems that some two weeks ago on
Jan. 25 the Tigers were supposed to play
basketball with a tiger of another sort,
LSU.
But that Louisiana tiger turned
chicken, sort of. Seems that two players
(John Williams and Bernard Woodside)
caught chicken pox, and Coach Dale
Brown (hiss!) said they couldn't get in
touch with some of the other player's
mothers to check and see if they had the
disease as a child. Said they might be
able to only suit up four or six players.
Hmm, something smells fishy down on
the bayou, and it ain't gumbo.
This was on top of Nikita Wilson,
LSU's leading scorer last year, and
another player being declared academi­cally
ineligible. Poor Nikita, he couldn't
pass remedial math the second time
around so he had. to move out of the
athletic dorm, but that's another story.
So all we hear is how chicken pox has
decimated a team that was 14-0 before
they met the SEC and they don't want to
play Auburn so they can recover. They
say that Williams, LSU's star player,
might chicken (pardon the joke) out for
the season.
So what did Auburn do? They let
James E. Martin, our esteemed (folks,
this is irony in it's finest form ) presi­dent,
make an agreement with the LSU
head to cancel the game until LSU gets
better or Hell freezes over, whichever
comes first. Smooth move Jimmy. We
give in to everybody because they know
it's poor ole Auburn, they'll have pity on
us and then we'll stab 'em in the back.
And where were the SEC officials dur­ing
this time? Probably finding the clos­est
corner so they could pick their nose
and laugh. Did they demand hospital
records to verify this or demand the
game be played? I bet you've already
guessed the answer.
Meanwhile, back in Baton Rouge that
Sunday, Brown practices his team. A
team that sick practicing one day after
their game got cancelled? Can you smell
the salmon? Dale Brown came out smel­ling
like a rose, but for just a little bit.
Remember, he's the villain.
Seems that Dale wanted to cancel
playing Kentucky too, (at least until his
star Williams got better) but the Wildcat
officials put their collective feet down
and said play or forfeit. Seems that Ken­tucky
has more power in the SEC than
some East Alabama Cow College. Why
couldn't Auburn have put their foot
down like that? We're too nice, that's
why.
So Sonny Smith, the protagonist in
this here yarn, steps in and he's been
doing a slow burn for quite some time.
Says he wants to play the LSU Chicken
Pox's on Feb. 3, the day after they play
road games against Georgia and Geor­getown.
Says Auburn may cancel if
Johnny Lynn's knee acts up again.
Whoa now, Sonny boy. My boys can't
do that, says Dale. Let's take this to the
SEC, okay old friend? So now they
finally get their finger's out of their
noses and say give them an extra day,
play 'em on Tuesday and let them rest.
Gee thanks SEC. Say thank you very
much, LSU.
Meanwhile, Dale has been doing some
talkin' with a higher law and has gotten
good ole Williams and Woodside.back
playing. Not critically ill anymore, and
all it took was some medicine and that
the Auburn game, canceled two weeks
ago, is back on the schedule and ready
for tip-off.
In the background of this seemingly
tall tale is Auburn beating a Vanderbilt
team which, oh my gosh, had four play­ers
with the flu and one with a broken
nose. Class act, those Nashville boys.
Auburn also lost a tough one to Ken­tucky,
who beat a surprisingly (?) tough
LSU team with a 25-footer at the buzzer.
Then LSU lost to Georgia, but hey,
wasn't that John Williams running tip
and down the court the way he always
has? Wasn't that Woodside too? Must
have been my imagination.
LSU lost to Georgetown too, but it was
close again and Williams played tough,
scoring 27 points. Chicken pox, what's
that?
An LSU team came to Auburn Tues­day
night. What happened? Let us pray
for Prince Sonny. The guys in the black
hats and surgical masks took a heart-breaker.
Seems some kid named John
Williams played the whole game and
scored 28 points. Why do the nice guys
always finish last? Can you say, James
Martin, you owe Prince Sonny an apol­ogy?
Sure, I knew you could.

the recent lecture by Elizabeth
Elliot.
Winfield implied that Elliot's views
were merely traditional, nothing more
than her opinion, and certainly not
Scriptural.
However, I have read several of Elli­ot's
books and compared them to the
teachings of the Bible. In short, I have
found her teachings to be in harmony
with those of God's word.
Both the Scriptures and Elizabeth
Elliot teach that human sexuality was
God's idea: "...male and female He
created them." (Genesis 1:27). God
created men and women to be distinct
and each divinely unique.
Why? It has nothing to do with
inequality, superiority-inferiority, tradi­tion
or any other label that we care to
affix to the issue. Rather, the divine roles
appointed to men and women (i.e.—
wives submit to your husbands; hus­bands
love your wives.) are a part of
what God's word calls a "profound mys­tery":
the mystery of Christ's relation­ship
with His church. (Ephesians
6:22-33)
Masculinity and femininity are the
Creator's design, and frustration and
confusion are the inevitable results
when men and women forsake the
divine order and put aside their
appointed roles.
True fulfillment can only come when
men and women recognize the beauty of
who they were created to be in Christ
Jesus and submit themselves to His
Lordship. It is in recognizing the divine
order and purpose that men are free to be
real men, and women free to be real
women; herein lies the true meaning of
masculinity and femininity.
In closing, I would need also to men­tion
the fact that while Winfield
denounced Elliot's views as "small-minded"
and unscriptural, she failed to
make reference to specific passages of
Scripture to back her claims. I fear that
all too often what we credit as being
Scriptural teaching turns out to be
nothing more than what we ihink the
Bible says, or ought to say, or what we
want it to say.
My earnest plea is for all of us to stop
speculating and to start studying (the
Word, that is.).
Jesus said, "If you abide in My word,
then you are truly disciples of Mine; and
you ehall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free." (John 8:31-32)

Paying prices for ecstasy long affair
Editor, The Plainsman:
After reading Jan. 30th's Plainsman
article on MDMA, or Ecstasy, I didn't
see why we all don't take'it; either the
government is overprotective, petty and
doesn't want us to have a good time, or
the Plainsman report missed some­thing.
If Ecstasy is anything like its name, I
know what it's like. Sometimes I'll spend
a long time on a homework problem and
get a real blast when I finish—maybe a
minute of euphoria from the feeling of
accomplishment.
Now I find out I can get five to six
hours of almost the same feeling without
having to sweat blood...or put needles in
my arm, spend a month's rent for
powder or slosh around like a water bal­loon
filled with coffee.
Even at twenty-five bucks a pill it
sounds like a good deal. And if it was
legal, like some people think it should be,
it'd be even lower; you'd see it on TV for.
"...just $19.99, plus a fistfull of valium if
you act now."
After seeing some deal on the tube,
don't you ever wonder what the catch is?
For anyone who hasn't figured out the
MDMA catch yet, which probably
includes anyone considering or using
euphoriants, I will clue you in.
If those scattered moments of excite­ment,
achievement or real love are the
spice of life, MDMA is nearly the same
stuff, distilled and concentrated. The
catch is, once you experience a. dose of
that for five or six hours, life with its
only occasional doses of euphoria seems
pretty bland. Until you get your next
pill.
I think Ecstasy is most like a shiny
new Porsche for $25 down and no terms
mentioned. The first impulse is to buy
the car (if you can find a dealer), but hold
off for a minute and I'll make a bet with
you. If you're unlucky enough to find it
in this "behind the times" town, you'll be
fighting to make the payments a long
time after the shine is gone.

Ecstasy article promotes 'serious' drug
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to comment on the article
written by Chris Roush concerning 3.4
methylenedioxymethaphetamine(MDMA)
or ecstasy.
I think it was both irresponsible and
unprofessional for the Assistant News
Editor to write an article that seems to
promote the use of such an illegal and
dangerous drug. Perhaps if Roush had
done his "leg work" he would have found
that xtc has been linked to cases of brain
damage.
In the article Roush stated, "according
to people who use it. ..they remain totally
in control." If my memory serves me cor­rectly,
marijuana and alcohol abusers
make the same claim.
Roush points out that "xtc" is a Sche­dule
I drug. This means that it is
included with the likes of such other
infamous drugs as Heroin and LSD.
Now isn't that wonderful company to be
keeping.
As for Fred, Ernie and Chip, "My
Three Stooges", wake up and smell the
coffee. We are told that there are no side
effects to using "xtc". Personally, I think
that being "weird" for half an hour could
be considered as a serious side effect.
This is not to mention the positive action
you were doing when you "sat around
the house for two hours and had a blast."
I may be wrong, but I don't think
many people consider "sitting around"
much of a blast.'
Roush also wrote, "Both Ernie, Fred
and Chip said they have never expe­rienced
any side effects, although they
do feel drained in the morning." I sup­pose
when one gets drunk one does not
experience any side effects either,
although one does have a slight head­ache,
a need to regurgitate and a feeling
of being drained.
Perhaps Roush is experiencing a side
effect not realizing that by writing,
"Both Ernie, Fred and Chip" he seems to
be implying the use of two brains among
three people.
This is probably not far from the truth.
The three also argued that "xtc" was
"better than any other drug or alcohol."
This has to be one of the classic analo­gies
of all time.
I guess the next thing you will tell us is
that AIDS is better than any other
disease.

Fraternity president explains flag display
Editor, The Plainsman:
I feel I must respond to the letter in last
week's paper concerning BSAC and the
Confederate flags at the Alpha Gamma
Rho Fraternity house.
First, it was not the intention, nor the
policy, of Alpha Gamma Rho fraterity to
display these flags. This Was the action
of four members of the fraternity, how­ever,
it was not their intent to slander or
discredit Martin Luther King, Jr.
As you know, General Robert E. Lee's
birthday is unfortunately celebrated on
the same day as Martin Luther King
Jr.'s birthday. This to my understand­ing
is also a state decreed holiday.
These individuals felt it their right to
express their feelings concerning the
recognition of General Lee. It is appar­ent
that the flags that were flying that
day were misinterpreted to mean the
wrong thing. I humbly apologize for
Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity for these
actions from the standpoint of the per­ceptions
of segments of the University
community regarding the "poor taste" of
this display.
It is unfortunate that the article by
William Braithwaite was a slandering
and untruthful account of the actual
situation. His article contained untruths
based on second-hand sources. He
claimed that "effigies (puppets) were
seen hanging from a noose on the porch
of the Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity
house".
This is an outright lie. It is this kind
of slanderous, senseless and sensational
falsification that gives students at
Auburn a bad taste for their fellow col­lege
aquaintences and increases strife
and inflames emotions.
You must question what is the ulti­mate
purpose of the writer and the pub­lishing
medium when this type of
shameless heresay is printed in our
Auburn Plainsman.
Once again I apologize on behalf of
Alpha Gamma Rho for the occurence of
this unfortunate and distasteful act. We
wish that it would not have happened.
We also wish, however, that a more sens­ible
and truthful approach would have
been taken to document and report the
occurence.

President, Alpha Gamma Rho
Men and women responsible for abortions
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am glad that the Plainsman makes
men, like Professor Blakney, "think"as
he said in the Jan. 30 edition. His serious
comments about men in the Pro-life
movement need to be discussed, so I
address this letter to Blakney.
First, sir, you suggested chauvinism
as a motive of men in the Pro-Life
movement. The greatest chauvinism is
in the way men use women for immoral
pleasure and then put them through hel­lish
guilt and physical danger of abor­tion
to avoid responsibility.
SGA sets, releases
dates for qualifying
for spring elections
Editor, The Plainsman:
Although spring seems far off, preli­minary
work for the Student Govern­ment
Association spring elections is
well underway. It is our desire for this
year's election to be the smoothest for all
parties concerned.
Positions open include: SGA presi­dent,
SGA vice president, SGA treas­urer,
off-campus senators, school sena­tors,
school presidents, school vice
presidents, and cm-campus senators. To
be eligible a student must have an over­all
GPA of 2.0 or a 2.5 the previous
quarter.
All candidates must attend a manda­tory
candidates meeting at 8 p.m. on
Feb. 18 in Haley Center, room 319S and
pass a candidates test given at 8:30 p.m.
on Feb. 25 in Haley Center 3195.
Declaration of Intent applications for
all SGA offices will be available in the
SGA office Wednesday, Feb. 5 through
Feb. 14. Deadline for these applications
is 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14.
For more information, please call the
SGA office from 9-10 a.m., Monday
through Friday or you can reach Pattie
at home (821-5883).
I have witnessed an abortion and
heard the scream of the anesthetized
woman as the baby was mutilated and
sucked from the womb in a legal abor­tion
done by a man. Abortion is not just
a woman's problem; men are responsible
also.
Secondly, professor, you accused pro-lifers
of exploiting a child by letting him
appear in the demonstration. Well, sir,
what about the one and a half million
growing humans killed each year since
abortion's legalization in 1973?
Ninety-five to 98 percent of abortions
are done for the "convenience" of the
men and women who conceived. Men
exploit women. Doctors exploit both for
the money. The children lose a chance to
live the American dream.
Blakney, "large birthrates" is a fal­lacy
in the U.S. When a comparison is
made of the number of babies born to the
number necessary to maintain the cur­rent
population, one sees that the Amer­ican
population is declining.
To stabilize population, it requires
2.11 births per family, but only 1.8 are
being born. Immigration accounts for
about 50% of growth, (Handbook On
Abortion, pp. 64-68, Wilke). Starvation is
a scourge in the nations where the birth­rates
are large. America feeds them.
Who will if we kill future Americans,
now?
Finally, to answer your question
about men in the Pro-life movement will
require a two-fold discussion. Number
one, men are beginning to feel their guilt,
get educated on the issue, and take their
share of responsibility. Women have
been unjustly bearing the guilt and
responsibility. Secondly, men in Pro-life
know that the issue is not religion or'
women's rights. The issue is; who lives
and who dies, and who decides? Which
segment of society will be next to be
declared "inconvenient"?
The Hemlock Society, a group devoted
to the legalization of euthanasia,
expects its legalization in five years.
Will we men sit by and let the elderly,
handicapped, and war veterans be killed
because they don't "contribute to
society"?
We are not here to serve society and to
offer bloody sacrifices to the state.
Society exists to serve mankind, includ­ing
the unborn. The killing won't stop
until a line is drawn. Let the line be
drawn at the start of life, conception.

Elliot said family's woman's first concern
/ Walter Price
Chairman Elections Board
Pattie Cobb
Director of Elections
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is in reference to the many
statements that have been made about
Elizabeth Elliot. It seems that many of
the statements she made have been
seriously taken out of context.
I would like to clear up one point that
has been misused continuously. She is
concerned about the condition of the
family in America. Elliot did not say
that women should only be nurses ana
teachers.
She did, however, make a point that
women should not pursue a career that
would keep them from fulfilling their
duties as a wife and mother. Anyone
who does not agree with the concept that
a woman's first priority is her family
and not her own selfish interests, should
examine whether they intend to believe
the Bible as it is or do they prefer to
choose the verses that please them.
The second chapter of Titus is quite
self-explanatory. A Christian who
refuses to live up to his/her biblical role
is simply too frightened to face the facts.
All the opposition to Elliot proves a
point that many already knew was true.
When liberals provide opposition to
Christian concepts, that is a clear sign
that we true Christians are right!

Engineering
sets outlays
for growth
By Cary Estes
Staff Writer
The Auburn University Col­lege
of Engineering will spend in
excess of $1 million this year on
growth and expansion to ensure
that its students will be prepared
for the technological advances of
the future, according to Dean of
Engineering Lynn E. Weaver.
Weaver said the college plans
to use the money to renovate
laboratories, buy new equipment
and continue programs such as
the Engineering Outreach Pro­gram,
which was established
during the spring of 1984.
It is the Outreach Program that
Weaver said he is most excited
about. It presents graduate-level
courses for credit to off-campus
students through videotape. The
program currently offers 19
courses at 24 industrial sites
throughout the state.
"This program will allow us to
recruit and retain high quality
talent in technology," said
Weaver. "We developed this pro­gram
in response to the needs of
industry in the state, and this will
give us closer ties to that
industry." .
It is important for the college to
remain on good terms with state
industry because much of the
schools funding will come from
their support, Weaver stated.
The engineering school is cur­rently
experiencing a rapid
increase in its number of gradu­ate
students. There has been an
increase from 256 graduate stu­dents
in engineering last year to
340 this year, and enrollment
should increase to an estimated
400 by next fall.
"Our students need to continue
, their education and go for higher
degrees," Weaver said. "Moving
into video education allows us to
expand and accomodate for our
growth."
The college currently has close
to 4,000 undergraduate students,
and Weaver said he expects a
slight increase in enrollment this
year.
This increase could cause a
problem since the college is expe­riencing
a shortage of faculty,'
especially in electrical engineer­ing
and computer .science
engineering.
"We are in the process of
recruiting faculty to alleviate this
problem," Weaver said, "but it i s'
sometimes hard to find qualified
people in these fields."
In addition, the college is
attempting to limit the number of
student enrollments and to make
it more difficult for students to
transfer from pre-engineering.
The required GPA to transfer into
electrical engineering is cur­rently
a 2.6, and into computer
sciences a 2.8.
There has also been a problem
in keeping some of the engineer­ing
laboratories up-to-date. The
trouble, according to Weaver, is
that technology is advancing
faster than the college.
"Technological equipment that
use to last 10 years is now only
lasting three to five years," said
Weaver. "Sometimes not even
that long. So we are constantly
having to upgrade our equip­ment."
The Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools will con­duct
an accredidation check on
the engineering college near the
end of this year. This check will
Thursday, February 6,1986
be made to ensure that the college
is maintaining standards that
meet state requirements.
"We hope to receive the neces­sary
funding in order to put our
labs in a state where we will not
have a problem (with the accred­idation
check)," Weaver said.
Weaver added that he believes
it is important for the engineer­ing
college to be allowed to con-:
tinue to expand for the good of
Auburn and for the future of state
industry.
"The knowledge base resulting
from a strong university engi­neering
effort underpins the pro­ductivity
and competitiveness of
industry, which is vital to the
economy and our national secur­ity,"
Weaver stated.

Selling yourself
Job search expert urges confidence
• By G wen Tatum
Features Staff
"Job seeking is a sales cam­paign,
and if you aren't going to
act like a salesperson, you're
going to lose out to someone who
is a better salesperson," said
Phyllis Martin, job search expert,
author, speaker and columnist.
Martin, who will be conducting
career seminars in Auburn on
February 8 and 10, added that, "I
don't always think the most tal­ented
person gets the job. I think
the person with the best job-seeking
skills gets the job."
Speaking on "Your Search for
the Right Job" on February 10,
Martin will discuss many of the
strategies she discusses in one of
her books, "Martin's Magic For­mula
for Getting the Right Job."
On Feb. 8, her subject will be
"Correct Change: How to Change
Careers."
Martin said that her "Magic
Formula" book began the day
she, as personel counselor for
Proctor & Gamble, first had to
say no to a job seeker. Her book
sprang out of the notes she took
in case "smarter applicants
asked for tips," she said. From
her book grew a career column,
television appearances as a job
expert (often on "P.M. Maga­zine")
and seminars for busi­nesses,
professional organiza­tions
and universities.
A resident of Cincinnati, Ohio,
Mrs. Martin comes to Auburn
every year with her husband, Dr.
Bruce Martin, who teaches a
chemical engineering course.
Mrs. Martin, a spunky woman
who has been told she looks like
Doris Day, was eager to talk
about helping those searching for
jobs. "I'm'not content to stay on
the interviewer's side anymore;
I'm with the job seeker," she said.
One of the many job-seeking
skills Martin focused on, in this
question and answer session,
was the job interview. "Most job-seekers
are so self-conscious that
they are conscious of themselves
rather than conscious of the per­son
on the other side of the desk
who has an enormous task of try­ing
to get some information from
the job seeker and make it a kind
of friendly interview." The inter­viewer
has to "sit on his hands,"
she said, when he interviews the
candidate because by law, there
are 13 areas of questions from
which an interviewer may not
ask, such as the job seeker's
future plans and how they would
affect the position for which he is
applying. "The job seeker is
intimidated, I think, unnecessar­ily,"
Martin said.
The job seeker needs to empa­thize
with the interviewer who is
thinking, "What can this person
contribute to our company?"
Martin said. "Even the seem­ingly
cooperative statement, 'I'll
take anything,' misses because

you're not there to take, you're
supposed to be there to show
what you can give," said Martin.
Martin compared the job
search with courtship: "If you
have that mode of 'Oh, please, I
need a job,' you aren't going to get
anywhere anymore than a per­son
who needs a date says, 'Oh
can't you fix me up with some­body?'
That desperation shows
through when the job seeker
should be showing enthusiasm.
When Martin was an inter­viewer
for Proctor & Gamble, she
looked for someone with "a high
IQ—a high inner quest," some­one
with desire. A job seeker can
show his IQ, and at the same time
reassure the employer, by telling
him, "I will justify the training
time you put in me," or "I've been
taking all these courses in my
major, now I want to use them,"
Martin said. She added that for
everyone's sake, the candidate
should plan what he wants to
say. The interviewers "need
somebody to corroborate their
judgement—who better than the
candidate can do this?" I love to
be sold by the person sitting
across from me," she said.
"Besides desire and enthusi­asm,
a job seeker should have a
professional image," she said. "I
would say the first filter is that of
appearance, like it or not." Again
Martin made the courtship com­parison,
"You respond in the first
five seconds when you meet
somebody in class or in a social
situation, and so does the inter­viewer.
They don't decide in five
seconds they're going to hire you.
They do decide they're not."
Martin said the best way to
dress is conservatively with
skirted suits for the women and
business suits for the men. Hair­styles,
which she labeled the
appearance feature that has cost
more jobs in the last 20 years,
should also be conservative.
Two words Martin "would give
to the wise are: follow up." Even if
the job seeker is turned down, he
should follow up with a thank
you note. Very few people write
thank you follow-up letters which
are an ideal way to point out
things the interviewee may have
forgotten to say during the inter­view,
said Martin.
The interview is just one part of
getting the right job. Just as
important are developing the
tools of the trade such as the
resume' and letter of application
and discovering just where the
jobs are. Martin will discuss
these job-seeking skills as well as
job-changing skills and more at
her seminars which are being co-sponsored
by Career Develop­ment
Services and the Commun­ity
Service Program.
The Feb. 8 seminar will be in
room 203 in the Foy Union build­ing
at 9 a.m., while the Feb. 10
seminar will be in room 246, also
in the Foy Union building at 7
p.m. Both two-hour seminars will
cost $10 for the general public
and $5 for University students.
Those interested in participating
can register by calling or by stop­ping
by Continuing Education in
Mell Hall (826-5101). Partici­pants
will also be able to register
at the door.

Bullard Hall renovation re-evaluated
By Stephanie Hunt
Assistant News Editor
An almost $5 million jump in
projected costs for the renovation
of Bullard, Magnolia and Noble
Halls from dormitories into
apartments has caused Univer­sity
officials to re-evaluate the
project.
Zeke Meyers, director of auxil­iary
enterprises for the Univer­sity,
said that Bullard and Mag­nolia
may now be demolished
and rebuilt, but Noble Hall will
still be renovated.
"The cost of the project jumped
from $10 million to almost $15
million after we got into it," he
said.
Meyers said that he and the
Montgomery architectural firm
for the project, Woodham and
Sharp, are looking at the situa­tion
from both positions to
determine which alternative
would be cheaper for the
University.
"From a financial standpoint,"
he said, "it might be cheaper to
tear down Bullard and Magnolia
and rebuild." I
Meyers said they hope to make
a decision in time to present it at
the next meeting of the board of
t rustees which should be at the
end of February.
The buildings, which currently
have private rooms and commun­ity
baths, would, after renova­tion,
have four-bedroom apart­ments,
with two private baths, a
common living area and a
kitchenette.
The occupancy of the two build­ings
would remain the same -
about 848, said Meyers.
Noble Hall would be renovated
and the facilities updated, he
said.
The first building on the pro­ject's
list is Bullard, which has
been vacant since 1982 because of
the "poor conditions of the quar­ters,"
according to University
Architect Tom Tillman.

Newformat
to replace
old licenses
By Pam Hartley
News Staff
The Alabama driver's license
was given a face-lift in January.
The new, larger license is hard
plastic, and it has the person's
birthdate and license number
raised, like on a credit card.
The state legislature amended
the drivers license law in May
1984 to increase the size of the
Alabama license to that of a
standard credit card.
Although previously issued
licenses are valid until the expi­ration
date listed, any new
license issued in Lee County after
Jan 10 will be by the new system,
said Sandra Leonard, Lee
County drivers license clerk.
Alabama is switching to the
new system a few counties at a
time, and it should be in use
statewide by the middle of Feb­ruary,
said Leonard.
The $15 issuance fee will
remain the same, but several
other aspects are changing. "It
has a whole new format," Leo­nard
said.
One change is the addition of a
star placed to the right of the
birthdate of people who are under
the legal drinking age. There has
been an increased awareness of
serving alcohol to minors since
the drinking age has been raised
in many states. "Valid drivers
license required" is commonly
posted in establishments selling
or serving alcohol.
"I think this (the new license)
will crack down on people tam­pering
with IDs because the
birthdate is raised," said Jerry
Fuque, the doorman at a local
bar.
"They look just like a credit
card. There's no plastic over them
that can be peeled off." Underage
people sometimes changed the
birthdate on old licenses this
way, he explained.
The new license has other
benefits as well. When a person
applies for a new license, he first
is issued a temporary one with no
picture. This is stapled to his old
picture license.
His picture is taken, and 30 to
45 days later his permanent
license is mailed to him. During
this time, a check is run in Mont­gomery
to insure that nothing is
pending against the person in
another state that would make
him ineligible to be licensed in
Alabama.
More information will appear
on this license than was dis­played
on the old. The person's
Social Security number will be
added as well as the 10 additional
coded restrictions.
On the old license there were
only seven restrictions listed, and
.anyone with restrictions other
than those seven were issued a
"B-card" which listed such
things as "hearing impaired" or
"hand controls."

8 way s to get a man
to ask you out again.
1. When he mentions "The Bears,"
know they're from Chicago.
2. Seem unimpressed when he tells
you he scored a hat trick in the third period.
3. Take his word for it when he tells
you that 1984 was a very good year for
Chardonnays.
4. Laugh at his jokes, even when he
forgets the punch lines.
5. Avoid, at all costs, letting him see
you reapply your lipstick.
8. Order something more exotic than
a white wine spritzer.
7. Compliment him on his taste
in colors, even if he arrives in jeans and
a T-shirt.
8. Tell him you'd ask him up for

AWARDED—Two of the University faculty
members have been cited for outstanding
work as academic advisers to students. They
were among 43 advisers across the nation
selected for special recognition in a joint pro­gram
of the American College Testing Service
and the National Academy of Advisers.
Associate Dean H.C. Morgan, Jr., was cited
for his work with veterinary medicine stu­dents,
and Frank J. Stevens was cited for his
work with students in the health professions.
Drop and add to be computerized
By Denise Self
News Staff
Pre-registration is here once
again, and students are trying to
plan their spring schedules with
the hope that they will get what
they want without having to go
through drop and add.
The long lines and closed
classes which are common to
drop and add make many of the
students want to groan at the
sight of the words,"unable to
assign."
Registrar Tom Stallworth said
that Auburn has used the same
registration system for 20 years.
"Regardless of what kind of
system you use, you have to use
one that accommodates all types
of students," Stallworth said.
Demand Analysis is the name
given to the computer assisted
registration system at Auburn.
Stallworth and two directors
from the computer center in
Parker Hall agree that despite its
shortcomings, the system works.
William "Chick" Wade, direc­tor
of administrative computing
services, explained that in the
initial registration (preregistra-tion),
a student completes a
course request form for the
impending quarter. The request
form is then processed against
the available courses on a
computer.
"The computers are only
involved between preregistration
and schedule distribution, and
after drop-and-add to process all
student record updates and
adjustments," said Bruce R.
Lewis, director of academic com­puting
services.
Lewis stated the objective of
Demand Analysis is to maximize
the percentage of student
requests, given the available
teaching resources. "Basically,
we run the programs that pro­duce
three statistical reports
which are issued to the dean's
departments," he said.
Prior to schedule distribution,
deans are given the opportunity
to adjust their department's
course schedule to meet needs
indicated by the reports. "A stu­dent
may get the class he wants,
but not at the desired time," Wade
said, adding this procedure helps
eliminate small classes which
usually end up canceled.
"Demand Analysis strictly lets
us see ahead of time what stu­dents
want and where we are
short in particular areas. At least
we know we can assign 95 per­cent
of the student body," Stall-worth
said.
Stallworth cited shortages of
certain classes as a major regis­tration
problem for students, par­ticularly
engineering, business
and architect courses.
"The engineering student has
no choice but to follow a strict
course outline; a liberal arts stu­dent
can switch courses around
without any delay," he said.
"We've made some effort to
control enrollments in those
areas as well as others," Stal­lworth
said. "Raising grade
requirements was the easiest way
to do it."
But to students having to drive
long hours to pay fees or drop and
add a course, the all-day event is
the major registration problem.
" I t ' s completely manual,
behind the times, there's no doubt
about that," Stallworth said.
He compared the University to
UAB in terms of enrollment size
and the type of student.
"Obviously we are in a rural set­ting
and the majority of the stu­dent
body stays here year round.
UAB is a commuter school con­sisting
of part-time students," he
said.

"If we had just CRT's or went
on-line, it would be an 'arena
type' registration with everybody
coming in at once."
Wade mused over the effects of
implementing CRT's at Auburn.
"If we went on-line, you would
only get one shot at your classes.
From the University's perspec­tive
you can get the course pro­vided
by the available flexibil-tiy,"
he noted.
The University Computer Cen­ter
is currently working to
enhance the Student Information
System, the computer located in
Parker Hall that maintains data
on records, fees, administration
and available courses. Accelerat­ing
the registration process and
installing centralilized billing
are two areas under development.
The center plans to pursue the
introduction of touch-dial tele­phone
registration at Auburn.
Georgia State University iff the
second school in the'natiorito
implement the new voice
response technology in 1984.
After attending the successful
"Teaching Registration to Talk"
conference at GSU in early
December, Wade and Lewis said
they were excited about research­ing
the technical aspects for
Auburn.
With the telephone approach,
the student commicates with the
registration program by pressing
keys on a touch-dial telephone. A
BT-II Voice-Response Processor
(from Perception Technology,
Canton, Mass.) on the other end
interprets the tones, causing the
student to input and receive his
schedule within minutes.
"We haven't made any final
decisions yet," Wade said.

The civil engineering building
on Magnolia Avenue is not an
ordinary building. Inside the
structure that replaced Broun
Hall are two lab rooms with uni­que
features.
The first lab is a structural
reaction floor that has a 25-foot
clearance. The room has anchors
in the center with the capacity of
20,000 pounds each. Twenty of
these anchors can work simul­taneously.
A ten-ton overhead
crane assists in research.
According to Dr. George
Ramey, head of the civil engi­neering
department, there are
only about half a dozen of these
cranes in the country.
"We can get something mas­sive
in here, either horizontally or
vertically," Ramey said. "One
year we could be looking at a
component of the space shuttle
and the next year we might be
constructing a soil pit to test
earthquake reactions.
Another unusual lab is the
structural dynamics lab that will
be used for fatigue testing. On the
extreme ends of the room are two
large abutments, or large chunks
of concrete, that can either be
pushed or pulled for the evalua­tion
of dynamic responses of
behavior.
In addition to the lab rooms,
there are 13 other labs and three
classrooms. One of these rooms
will later be turned into a lab. A
small classroom that will hold 12
people will be used for graduate
work.
Not all of the civil engineering
department will be moving to the
building. Most of the graduate
student's offices will remain in
Ramsey, as well as some
c^ssrooms.
Along with University support,
the building was donated by
«. ohn Harbart, president of Har-bart
Industries in Birmingham.
Harbart is a civil engineering
alumnus of Auburn.
"No corners were cut construct­ing
this building," Ramey said.
"All labs are top quality and state
of the art. The University and Mr.
Harbart didn't spare any
expense, first class facilities from .
top to bottom," he added.
Ramey said that they have
been trying to get industry to be
more supportive of university
research. "If you're going to move
the status of your program from
good to excellent, you need addi­tional
monies above what is
appropriated by the state."
He added that if industry is
more supportive of the school, it
can only benefit. "The products
coming out of this research will
help them in their industries,"
Ramey said. "We are pleased Mr.
Harbart is enhancing the quality
of our program."
Construction on the building
started in the summer of 1984, but
no date has been set for the open­ing.

E.S. Reddy
to speak
at SIMUN
By Henry Brown
News staff
A former United Nations secre­tary
will deliver the key note
address for the 1986 Southeast­ern
Model United Nations
(SIMUN) tonight at 7.
E.S. Reddy has specialized in
apartheid and has had more than
35 years of experience in the U.N.
secretariat.
Reddy joined the U.N. secreta­riat
as political affairs officer in
1949. During his career in the
U.N., he has held various posts,
most of which have dealt with the
issue of South Africa's apartheid
policies.
"To contribute to the eradica­tion
of racism and apartheid is,
for me, not a job but a priviledge,
perhaps an irresistable passion,"
Reddy said during a meeting of
the Special Committee Against
Apartheid in 1983.
In 1983 Reddy was appointed
Assistant Secretary General in
charge of Centre Against Apar-„
theid, and in 1985 Reddy resigned
from the U.N. secretariat.
He is currently the senior fel­low
in the U.N. Institute for
Training and Research, a post he
has held since March.
In a paper called Decades of
Resistance Reddy said, "Since its
creation, the United Nations has
upheld the unalienable rights of
South Africa's black majority
and focused world attention on
the evils of apartheid.
"The U.N. can help avert
further bloodshed if its instru­ments
for applying pressure on
the South African government
are utilized and supported by the
international community," he
said.
The U.N. has taken a major
role in the fight against apar­theid
for years. The General
Assembly and the Security
Council imposed sanctions
against South Africa as early as
1962.
Other sanctions have also been
imposed by the U.N. since then.
Companies offer credit to students
College Credit Card Corp., a
marketing company that gives
students an opportunity to apply
for credit cards through student
applications will be on campus
Wednesday through Friday. A
representative for the company
will be set up in the lobby of
Haley Center by the University
bookstore.
"This provides a marvelous
opportunity for students to begin
fashioning a credit history," said
Meredith Naples, a spokesman
for the company.
Applications for Citibank,
Zales, Parisian, Amoco and
Sears are the cards that the
CCCC is providing here on
campus.
Students eligible to apply
include juniors, seniors and
graduate students.The credit
applications are specifically
designed for students and take
into consideration the financial
s i t u a t i o n s and lifestyle of
students.

Era of the linotype closes with retirement
Photography: J a y 8ailora
POUNDING THE KEYS
Ban later prepares to set type on ancient machine
By Jody Kamins
News Staff
With the retirement of Paul
Banister, linotype operator for
University Printing, an era of
printing by linotype machine has
ended.
Banister has operated Au­burn's
intricate machine for 15
years, since the Tallassee news­paper
he worked for stopped
using the linotype machine to
print their papers. "When they
went to offset (printing), I had to
either learn something new or use
a linotype" somewhere else, said
Banister, who began working at
the University in 1970.
Banister began attending the
Alabama School of Trades in
Gadsden in the fall of 1938, where
he learned to operate a linotype
machine. The school had print­ing
listed in the curriculum but he
"didn't know what printing was,"
Banister said.
Banister called the linotype
machine "the wagon train of the
printing industry," as its letters
are printed with separate letter
molds, or matrices, from which
imprints are made. These lines of
type, called slugs, are made when
molten lead is forced against the
lines of matrices and then
quickly solidifies.
These lead slugs drop into a
rack, or galley, and comprise the
printing plate which is inked to
print papers. The matrices are
returned to the magazine, and the
lead slugs are melted down again
after printing.

"look at the computers and don't
care," said Banister, "but they
will stop and ask a hundred ques­tions
about this one," as he
pointed to the linotype machine.
"Just as linotype replaced
handset type, computers are
replacing today's printing
methods," said Banister.
"Even Mark Twain, with all
the money he had, went broke
trying to perfect that thing,"
offered one employee of Univer­sity
Printing Service, "and it
ain't perfected yet!"
Ottmar Mergenthaler, the
German who invented the lino­type
machine, also died a pauper
trying to perfect his machine,
said Banister. "He had too much
in his mind," said Banister,
adding that Murgenthaler suf­fered
a nervous breakdown after
his patent for the linotype, was
'stolen and as a result of his
struggles to improve it. '
Because of its size, the machine
had to be lowered by crane into
the printing office through a hole
in the roof. It is reminiscent of a
giant clock, because of its abun­dance
of turning cogs and mov­ing
pieces, over 1,000 parts in all.
A cylindrical metal pot holds the
lead used to make slugs, or lines
of type. "It takes an hour to get
hot," said Banister, meaning that
it takes an hour for the lead to
soften enough to make molds.
Typing on the linotype is dif­ferent
from a regular typewriter,
because the keys are arranged in
three sets: upper case, lower case
and punctuation. Also, the lino­type
operator must press a key for
spaces between each line.
Years earlier, said Banister,
there had always been a good
machinist nearby when the lino­type
had broken down, but their
last machinist, like the linotype
machines themselves, has died.
Banister chuckled, "the machines
and their operators are wearing
out at the same time."

Alabama's textile, apparel industries to get needed boost
By Sandra Ingram
News Staff
The failing Alabama Textile
and Apparel industry is to get a
boost from the Auburn Consumer
Affairs Department by a sourc-ing
fair to be held on campus Feb.
24-25.
The Auburn Consumer Affairs
Department will be host to the
first of its kind, a Consumer
Apparel Fair primarily to bring
Alabama textile, hosiery and
accessories manufacturers to
gether with representatives from
major apparel retail firms.
The fair is designed to help
Alabama industries become more
competitive with overseas
Debate
markets by "giving them contact
and communications with the
buying arm of these retailers,"
said Dr. Carol Warfield, the head
of the Department of Consumer
Affairs.
The Alabama Textile industry
has lost 6,000 jobs since 1979 and
the apparel industry has lost
7,000 jobs in 1985 alone, accord-
. continued f r om A-l

years.
The panel discussion then
shifted to the coverage of the
courts by the press. Wright feels
that too many reporters
