AU settles suit,
offers apologies
By Lee Anfl Landers
Assistant News Editor
Although terms in an out-of-court settlement were
not disclosed, the University publicly apologized to
an Auburn-based construction company as part of a
settlement in a lawsuit filed by the company in
August, 1984.
While the University itself will not contribute any
money toward the settlement, a financial agree­ment
was reached with other defendants named in
the lawsuit.
Originally, ConnerBrothers filed the suit after its
$3,585 million bid for building the John Harbert
Engineering building was rejected by the Univer­sity
in favor of a $3.72 million bid made by Brasfield
and Gorrie Inc. of Birmingham.
Suing for $2.36 million in punitive and compensa­tory
damages, the construction company accused
several University administrators and officials,
including President James E. Martin, of fraud
because they accepted the higher bid.
Among those named as defendants were Busi­ness
Manager Rhett Riley, campus architect Tom
Tillman, the Auburn University Foundation, a non­profit
organization seeking income from private
institutions, and AU Foundation President George
"Buck" Bradberry.
Attorneys for the plaintiff, Conner Brothers Con­struction
Ina, and University officials announced
Monday that a settlement had been reached in the
$2.36 million lawsuit.
University Relations Director Herb White said
neither the University or those defendants pre­viously
named, who are associated with the Uni­versity,
&er%\i&~B%dABib\e Jar any monetary
adjustment.
However, White said the AU Foundation did
make a modest monetary settlement with the con­struction
company., ,
"We regret any inconvenience this misunder­standing
may haye caused Conner Brothers Con­struction
Inc. and Auburn University would be
pleased to have this reputable firm bid on future
Auburn University building projects," the state­ment
said.

Former vet students continue appeals
By Kim Best
News Editor
An appeal filed in 11th Circuit
Court on Qctr2&re«i4iesting a stay
of judgment for David M. Nash,
29, and Donttti C. Perry, 23, both
second-year veterinary students,
was denied " Wednesday, said
Julian McPhillips, attorney for
the students! •'. ' ;,
A previous appeal filed in
Montgomery^Wi1fai|J.S. District
Court on Oct.24 alistfrequesting a
stay of judgme'nt\#aB denied Fri­day,
Oct. 2 5 . ' : ; . y$
Nash and Perry can no longer
attend classes on an audit basis
and are looking to transfer to
another veterinary school,
McPhillips said. However, they
plan to continue their appeal, he
added.
The two students were accused
of cheating on an anatomy exam
last May. Nash and Perry were .
brought before the Student Board
of Ethical Relations, and the
board handed down a one-year
suspension for both students.
Nash and Perry filed a lawsuit
in district court against the Uni­versity
Sept. 20 requesting
$100,000 in damages and to be
reinstated to classes.
A week later, U.S. District
Judge Truman Hobbs ordered the
University to allow Nash and
Perry to continue classes on an
audit basis until a final decision
was reached.
Hobbs ruled in favor of the
University in a decision handed
down Wednesday, Oct. 23,
"because (the) plaintiffs have
demonstrated no denial of due
process and no breach of either
an express or an implied
contract."
"We have reviewed Judge
Hobbs' decision relating to two
Veterinary Medicine students
who sued the University to over­turn
their suspension for alleged
cheating on an examination,"
said President James E. Martin.
"Judge Hobbs' decision sus­tains
the original findings and
recommendations of the Student
Board of Ethical Relations for
suspension, and the original
action of the committee will be
implemented," Martin added.

Construction work has begun
on facilities to house the Space
Power Institute here at Auburn,
the leading institution in a $19
million contract with the U.S.
Department of Defense.
Scientists working on the
Auburn phase of the Strategic
Defense Initiative (SDI) contract
include faculty from the depart­ments
of electrical engineering,
physics and mechanical engi­neering.
Other researchers from
mathematics, electrical engineer­ing,
physics, and chemical engi­neering
are also working On the
project. Still other scientists will
be added during this fiscal year,
said M. Frank Rose, director of
the Space Power Institute. The
facilities for the institute will be
built as an addition to the Leach
Nuclear Science Center, where
most of the work will be done. The
13,500-square-foot additon is
scheduled to be completed in
April 1986.
Much of the space power
research is currently being done
in physics and engineering
laboratories, and some of the
work will continue, in these
laboratories after the Space
Power Institute is complete,
according to Rose.
The main feature of the new
facility will be a 10,000-square-foot
laboratory area with a 24-
foot-high ceiling to accomodate
high voltage experiments.
The reason for locating the
Space Power Institute at the
nuclear center is because of the
close access to the 1.5 megawatts
of electrical pow­er
available at
the Leach Nucle­ar
Science Cen­ter,
said Ray­mond
Askew, di-rector
of the
Leach Nuclear
Science Center.

Fortunately* this summer 18
Auburn students had the oppor­tunity
to be in that setting for a
few momentsof fantasy and fun.
The students were selected to
be extras or stand-ins for the $16
million movie, Space Camp,
which was filmed in Huntsville,
Ala. % '* f*
There were approximately 100

Auburn students had the
advantage since tney did not
ha ve to be back at school until the
end of September. •

Fred Bourne* (02PB), Melanie

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
Working as movie extras put students in front of camera
Matthew White (02LAS), Ray
-Booth t&2PAR), Bill Maynard
(02PN), Blake Herrin (03AR),
Brian Sproles (03PN), David
Newton (03AE) and Beth Riley
(03CEE).
The extras, which are used in
the background scenes, are
required by the movie company
to submit a resume and photo­graph
to be kept on file for quick
reference.
To produce several minutes in a
movie may require as much as
two to three hours of preparation
for a set. Therefore, stand-ins are
valuable in that their assistance
helps to keep the actors and
actresses fresh and ready for
their lines as well as preventing
them from having to redo make­up
which may take hours.
The stand-ins who were there
for a month were paid $420 a
week which meant working 12
hours for six days. They received
cash daily and were served free
lavishly catered meals from a
service out of Atlanta.
Jim Peters, a stand-in for Tate
Donovan (television actor), got
the part because their physical
appearances were similar. Peters
had the chance to continue work­ing
on Space Camp in California,
but he returned to Auburn to
attain his degree.
Space Camp is a movie about
two teenage astronaut trainees
who accidentally launch a space
shuttle into orbit.
Stars who appeared in the
movie include Lea Thompson
(Back to the Future), Tate Dono­van,
Kate Capshaw (Indiana
Jones), Kelly Preston (Secret
Admirer), Larry B. Scott
(Revenge of the Nerds) and Tom
Skerrett (Turning Point).
Space Camp was filmed at the
Alabama Space and Rocket Cen­ter's
actual space camp and at
Redstone Arsenal.
A ten-year veteran in the movie
business, Gaffney has helped
cast parts in movies such as
Close Encounters of the Third
Kind, Jaws II and Norma Rae.
Gaffney, who is from Mobile
and whose son is an Auburn
graduate, encourages people who
are interested in working in the
film industry to start in cities like
Atlanta and Dallas, and not New
York City or Hollywood. "The
best opportunities are with loca­tion
casting beginning as extras
or stand-ins in order to establish
valuable contacts," she said.
She stressed to "do it for the fun
of it, and always have your edu­cation
to fall back on."
Most of the students were
enthusiastic about the expe­rience.
Jim Peters said, "I real­ized
the actors and actresses are
down-to-earth people, and I
enjoyed getting to know them
personally from sharing expe­riences."
Peters was hired for the entire
filming period in Alabama so in
addition to being a stand-in, he
was also used as an extra. He
said, "It was more exciting to be
an extra because you.are actually
a part of the movie in the back­ground
scenes."

Dr. James Ionson, one of six
technical directors of SDI.
Ionson explained that the aca­demic
institutions doing SDI
research were performing only
research, not developing any
weapons. He added that the key
to the SDI program lies in space
power;*"
SDI researchers are identify­ing
key technologies, and per­forming
feasibility studies on
those technologies, Ionson
added.'
"Auburn is doing more than we
ever expected," said Ionson,
adding that the University had
submitted a number of new prop­osals
plasma physics studies and
microwave studies.
"Work on university campuses
is unclassified and never will
become so", said Ionson, unless
the universities bid on classified
work, and only under the condi-
, tion that the information is uni­quely
applicable to defense
research, said Ionson. "Auburn
has not applied to any classified
contacts at all," he said.

Benefits and spin offs coming
from Auburn's Space Power
Institute research are bound only
by the imagination, said Dr. Leo- •
nard Grigsby who is in charge of
research for alter-nating
current
power systems.
One of the bene­fits
that may
come from the
research is more
jobs and indus­try

said.
And Dr. Peter
Barnes, head of
the research for
solid state switch­ing
said he knew
of one company
in the process of
forming because
of the Strategic
Defense Initiative research being
conducted here.
Otfier spin-offs resulting from
the ^research may be used by
NASA for deep space travel and
space labs to be used in space,
Grigsby said. "Not only will the
research benefit space travel,"
Grigsby added, "but it may have
significant benefits for electricity
on earth."
Developing basic technology to
generate compact electricity in
space-is the research scientists
here are currently conducting,
and those involved say controv­ersy
concerning Auburn's role in
the (SDI) research is unfounded.
"There seems to be some con­troversy
concerning this because
some people seem to think
Auburn University is developing
weapons for space, when, in fact,
our research is basic and unclas­sified,"
said Dr. Peter Barnes, the
physics professor in charge of
researching solid state switching
project.
"We are exploring new areas
that have never been covered
before, and in the process we are
training scientists in hard
research areas that the govern­ment
feels there is a shortage in,"
Barnes added.
Trying to clear up some of the
questions people have targeted at
the SDI research schools, Vice
President of Research Paul Parks
also .said the research that is
underway will determine if a
space defense system is feasible.

University studying fusion for power
By Debbie Long
Research Editor
University Physics research
is investigating a nuclear
energy form which produces no
radioactive waste and has the
potential of being in unlimited
supply.
" I t ' s safe, and there's no
chance of a nuclear meltdown,"
said Gary Swanson, physicist
and professor.
The fusion system being stu­died
by the researchers is the
opposite of nuclear systems used
in the U.S. where energy is
created by the pulling apart of
atoms. The fusion systems
creates energy by joining atoms.
Energy equivalent to the
amount created by 320 gallons of
gasoline can be generated from
one gallon of water for only four
cents with the fusion system
being studied by the researchers.
The system is the opposite of
nuclear systems used in the U.S.
where energy is created by the
pulling apart of atoms. The
fusion system creates energy by
joining atoms.
Swanson said this is one of the
main advantages, because the
hydrogen needed for the reaction
occurs naturally in salt water
and fresh water, which is of
unlimited supply. "No one has a
corner on water," he said.
The only waste product is
helium. It is not radioactive and
could be sold, Swanson said. The
price of energy would be trivial.
The investment used to build the
nuclear plants would be the con­sumer's
cost.
"If you had a fusion reactor, the
cost of electricity would be based
entirely on paying back the
loan," he said.
Swanson began building a
small scale version of the fusion
reactor, called a torsatron, about
four years ago. Six graduate stu­dents
and several undergraduate
students have worked on the pro­ject
which has cost approxi­mately
$ 300,000.
The research is funded by a
Department of Energy grant.
There are two sites in the U.S.
with torsatrons. Auburn has the
largest, and the University of
Wisconsin has three others.
If fusion energy is so efficient
and safe, why hasn't the method
been used before now?
"It is hard," Swanson said. The
reaction must take place at 100
million degrees Celcius. That
temperature must be maintained
a certain length of time for the
reaction to take place. A con­tainer
has not been developed
which maintains the tempera­ture
without melting.
Swanson explained the process
in terms of a miniature golf
course. Suppose there is an
anthill-type mound at the end of
the course where the hole is
located. You have to hit the ball
hard enough to get it up the hill
and into the hole.
If you hit it too hard or miss, the
ball will go rolling into the hole.
What you need is enough anthills
and holes to make the probability
of hitting one higher.
With the fusion reaction, the
temperature must be high so that
the probability of atoms colliding
is high enough for the reaction to
occur.
So far, that temperature has not
been reached. The highest
temperature has been 70,000
degrees Celcius.
Auburn's research has been
focused on the heating of plasma
or ionated gas. There are four
states of matter: solid, liquid, gas
and plasma. When a substance
gets hot enough that the elec­trons
are knocked loose, it
reaches the plasma state.
Lightning, neon lights, fluo­rescent
lights and the 3un are
examples of plasma, which
makes up 99.9 percent of the
universe.
Swanson said the research
with plasma and nuclear fusion
has great potential. It is in the
scientific stages and may be 50
years before it is economically
feasible as an energy source.
But, Swanson said that if it
does become economically feasi­ble,
nuclear fusion will replace
coal as an energy source.

Future in hand
Sister Linda reads between the lines
By Tommy Wofford
Assistant News Editor
Sister Linda is a formidable
name for the round, serene lady
who sits inside the house with
the large red palm atop it. She
speaks in calm tones with a lack
of expression as she gives her
customers advice about their
i'ves.
Sister Linda is a palm reader,
and there are no black cats, boil­ing
cauldrons or crystal balls in
her house. She lives with her
husband and daughter beside
U.S. 280 in a flat, yellow house
that once was a restaurant. It
looks about like any other house
in east Alabama, with tasteful
but no extravagant furnishings.
People come to her and ask
advice, and she tries to help them
by reading their palms and tell­ing
them what she sees in their
individual lives. She patterns her
advice to the unique situation.
"People don't have the same
palms. There are differences,"
she said.
Sister Linda, Stevenson is her
married name, was born in Loui­siana.
Of Yugoslavian descent,
she learned palm reading from
her mother who likewise learned
it from her mother. Being the
only palm reader in Lee County, a
special license had to be created
for her.
"She tries to help people," her
husband said. "She's a cheap
shrink. A lot of kids don't listen to
their parents, they'll listen to her.
A lot of people come in that have
lost faith in God and she steers
them toward the Bible."
Sister Linda's 20 or 30 minute
readings take place in a tiny
room with a private entrance, in
the back of the house. In the cen­ter
of the room is a small, unfin­ished
table, with a chair on either
side, surrounded by a Bible and
religious pictures.
"I tell them what they want to
know," she said. "People want
me to read their palms and tell
them what's coming up in their
future."
People come to Sister Linda
looking for a variety of answers
to questions in their lives. She
offers advice on marriage, busi­ness
and personal problems.
Often people tell her things that
they wouldn't tell family or
friends.
"What they tell me, I don't
repeat. Not even my husband
knows what people tell me," she
said.
The mystique that surrounds a
palm reader is mostly a product
of a superstitious mind, accord­ing
to Sister Linda. She said,
"People come in and tell me
they're expecting certain things,
and then there's nothing to it."
The effect Sister Linda has on
her customers is equally unmys-terious;
she instinctively reacts to
each person and tells them good
things.
"You will have a long life," she
says to the visitor, using a voice
that is as genuinely understand­ing
as it is soothing, as she gently
strokes the inside of his hand. "In
love you've had your ups and
downs. It's not been too good
lately, but this too will pass."
Her words are convincing and
pleasing. She speaks with an air
of authority and wisdom that are
particularly effective to people
looking for an easy answer to a
difficult question.
"People leave here feeling
good," she said. "They feel like a
load has been taken off their
mind. I never see the bad things. I
tell people the good things I see.
"Lots of people don't want to
listen to what other people tell
them to do. I listen and I try to
help. I tell people how to be happy
and content."
Sister Linda is truly optimistic
about her future and is therefore
prone to affect her clients to be as
well. She makes no claims to psy­chic
powers, instead, offering
only to "read palms and give
advice." She instills a faith in her
clients that she personally
believes.
"My future holds good things,"
she said.
To Sister Linda, palm reading
isn't a mystic experience. She
exhibits an uncomplicated belief
that a person's life is displayed in
the palm of the individual, and
that she is merely the interpreter,
and an intuitive listener.
Arts, humanities combine to light up community's mind
Developing cooperative pro­grams
that meld local people and
programs with university scho­lars
and artists is one of the main
goals of the recently dedicated
Arts and Humanities Center of
Auburn University.
"We can make local events
more multi-dimensional by com­bining
historical lectures with
craft shows, festivals, and music
performances," said Leah
Atkins, center director.
Atkins wants to focus the cen­ter's
arts and humanities pro­grams
on small towns across the
state because she said there is a
lack of knowledge in such areas
about funding for humanities
programs.
"Everyone knows what the arts
are, but sometimes the general
public is unaware that the
humanities, which encompasses
history, literature, religion and
philosphy, help us daily to make
judgments on what is good or
bad, true or false, useful or use­less,"
said Atkins. "Knowledge of
the humanities adds meaning
and understanding to our lives."
Atkins wants to work closely
with small towns and their pro­grams,
and said the center will
even initiate programs where
none exist.
According to Atkins, a Bir­mingham
theater group has
already requested aid from the
center in helping hone its skills
by making presentations in local
schools.
"To make famous people more
meaningful, they wanted to
characterize them in Alabama
settings and asked us for help in
getting the right material,"
Atkins said. She also said plans
for another program involves a
famous author who lived in
Mobile.
"Such research can serve to
keep AU scholars involved in
new studies as they look for
answers to specific questions,"
Atkins said, adding that such
programs will cost money. She
pointed out, though, that one of
the center's functions will be to
help find matching funds for the
communities.
"There is continued public
interest in the study of local and
regional history. The urge to
know ourselves as members of a
neighborhood and community as
Sherrell outlines decision on theft
By Bret Pippen
News Staff
The Interfraternity Council
Court turned in its decision last
Thursday, concerning the theft of
furniture by the pledges of Pi
Kappa Alpha Fraternity.
Skip Sherrell, presiding officer
of the court, typed the memoran­dum
that outlined the court's
decision.
The memo stated that the three
pledges who stole the furniture
from Scarborough Square
Apartments Oct. 7 were acting on
their own regard without encour­agement
from the brothers.
However, this does not exclude
the fraternity and its officers
from responsibility. The major
cause of the incident was proba­bly
the absence of officer control
and the direction of the pledge
program.
The decision of the court was
outlined in seven steps:
— The vice-president of student
affairs will investigate possible
violations of the University Dis­cipline
Code by the three pledges
involved.
— Volunteer public service
work amounting to approxi­mately
1,800 man hours to the
City of Auburn by the chapter.
Also, reimburse Scarborough
Square for any damages to furni­ture
or apartments and make
formal, individual apologies to

officers must insure that minors
are not served. The court also
requests that the fraternity adopt
a responsible alcohol awareness
program. The fraternity must
comply with any recommenda­tion
made by the IFC Alcohol
Awareness Committee.
— Failure to abide by the stipu­lations
of this ruling and/or any
future violations of IFC and
University policies by the Pike
fraternity will be grounds for
further court action under sanc­tions
authorized by this court.
The memo was signed by Skip
Sherrell, presiding officer and
Lambda Chi Alpha president,
and is to be signed by the rest of
the court made up of four more
fraternity presidents: Keith Nel­son,
Sigma Phi Epsilon; Steve
Jones, Theta Chi; Carl Madell,
Delta Tau Delta; and the faculty
adviser to the court, Dr. Drew
Ragan.
Tom Gookian, president of
PKA, said that the decision was
very fair regarding the fraternity
as a whole, yet unfortunate that
the incident involved pledges of*
the fraternity.
"I am very happy with the IFC
Court and I feel the court did a
good job and understood how
serious it was to get to the bottom
of the incident and realized how
badly we wanted to get to the bot­tom
of the incident," Gookian
said.
He said that the restructuring
of the pledge program called for
in the decision could do nothing
but good for the fraternity.
Campus organizations strut their stuff,
reward outstanding student groups
By Connie Lacy
News Staff
Alpha Phi Omega was
awarded the Organization of the
Year award as part of the SGA-sponsored
Organizations Day
held Oct. 24.
Alisa Armstrong, chairman of
the organizatons board, said the
goal of Organizations Day was to
"recognize and reward outstand­ing
student groups." Another
goal was to increase awareness
and participation in the char­tered
organizations on campus,
she said.
Of the 300 groups chartered by
the Organizations Board, more
than 50 set up booths on the con­course
to provide information
and give students the opportun­ity
to familiarize themselves with
various student and faculty
organizations on campus.
In other categories, Delta Nu
Alpha was named Professional
Organization of the Year. The
Auburn University Water Ski
Club was named Sports Organi­zation
of the Year and Project
Uplift was tapped Special Inter­est
Organization of the Year. For.
Most Creative Booth, the Society
of Physics Students was honored.

EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS
Research growing
• Controversy has surrounded Pres­ident
Ronald Reagan's star wars
^defense program since the idea was
jfirst introduced, but now the con­troversy
has hit close to home with
Auburn being selected as one of the
Ifive institutions to conduct space
ipower research for the defense
'department.
C Professors from some of the other
-institutions involved in the research
have been persuaded by David
Wright of the University of Pen­nsylvania
to participate in a boycott
against the Pentagon's Strategic
D e f e n s e I n i t i a t i v e (SDI), but
researchers at Auburn and nearby
Georgia Tech have not become
involved in this action.
Those researchers participating
in the boycott say that Reagan's
plan will only escalate the arms race
with the Soviets and that the Pen­tagon
is merely "using" the univer­sities
to build a constituency in
Congress for the program.
, Whether the professors conduct­ing
the research agree with Reagan
and his star wars plan is not the
issue, though. All Auburn students
and faculty should be proud that
Auburn was selected to be a part of
the program, even those violently
opposed to star wars defense,
because the program will benefit all
space research, not just defense
research.
As one Auburn researcher said
last year when Auburn was first
selected to participate, "this goes
beyond politics."
And the research being conducted
at Auburn does go beyond politics.
None of the work that Auburn Uni­versity
researchers are doing is
classified defense work. Auburn
professors will be studying power in
space, and how it may be best util­ized.
Research such as this will be
invaluable because it will spin off to
other areas such as future shuttle
expeditions and experimentation in
space.
The research will also benefit the
University as a whole, especially the
physics and engineering depart­ments.
Being selected for such a
prestigious program builds credibil­ity
nationally'for Auburn and also
will help attract top scholars to the
faculty in the future.
According to Dr. James A. Ionson,
one of the six technical directors of
SDI, the space research at Auburn
will also greatly benefit the com­munity
and surrounding area. He
predicts that, the area between
Georgia Tech and Auburn will
someday become t he "Silicon Valley
of the South"' because the space
research the two schools are con­ducting
will attract high tech indus­try
to east Alabama and west
Georgia.
With far-reaching benefits such as
these awaiting Auburn University,
the professors and researchers are to
be commended for avoiding the boy­cott
and continuing participation in
the space power research.
Students and faculty should also
realize the benefits, despite any
opposition they may have to star
wars defense.
Ballgame security
Students throwing paper cups and
yelling obscenities at policemen and
security guards is a familiar sight at
most home football games. And
after every game stories abound
about how mistreated the students
.were by the authorities.
'• S t u d e n t s need to remember,
though, that security guards are
hired to enforce the laws and keep
,£he crowds controlled at games. One
law that most students complain
about, and one t h a t most students
break, is the liquor law.
Liquor is not allowed inside
Jordan-Hare Stadium, but we all
know that liquor is always present
at these games. Security guards are
hired to control the liquor problem,
and when a policeman takes a stu­dent's
liquor away, he is actually
doing the student a favor. The police
are supposed to arrest anyone
caught with liquor at games, but
instead they simply take the liquor
away, and arrest only those drink­ing
who may get out of hand.
But the students still complain
and yell and curse at the cops for
trying to do their job.
Of course, security guards are not
always the good guys. Students
complain constantly about how
rude and impolite the policemen and
security guards can be when dealing
with the students or when frisking
them while entering the stadium
gates. And three weeks ago at the
Mississippi State game a fight broke
out in section 27 of t he student seats.
As many as twenty guys were
involved, but the four security
guards who witnessed the event
only watched, doing little to stop the
brawl.
At times like these students have a
right to be angry with security, just
as security also has a right at times
to be angry with the students.
There needs to be a better air of
cooperation between the students
and the security guards at the foot­ball
games to prevent problems in
the future. The game this week will
be one of the biggest of the season,
and the security guards are already
expecting a lot of drinking and
fighting from the student section.
Students need to try to work with
t h e security guards instead of
against them, and maybe they will
return the favor.

INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS
Expansion's fortunes drop
While surveilling the vain efforts of
flask-hunting security officers at the
Mississippi State nap Saturday, I
couldn't help but to notice the empty
seats lining the West side and North
endzone of Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Granted, the State-Auburn rivalry
doesn't conjure images of thrilling plays
and games to football followers, but the
contest was an important conference
hurdle for Auburn and the premier col­lege
football player in the nation was
performing.
Which brings us to a justified question
of whether the crowd size was indicative
of future Auburn attendance figures?
Since the Tiger-Bullpup clash wasn't
on the television, the tube can't be
blamed for the crowd of 68,700 counting
players, vendors, the press and every­body
else in the stadium.
The weather was no factor and the two
teams sported only three losses between
them.
Apparently a simple lack of interest
was displayed in the form of at least
3,469 vacant seats which must beg con­cern
from Auburn people in the face of
the planned stadium expansion.
The stadium presently seats 72,169
and will be enlarged by the fall of '87
season to house more than 85,000 people.
After reviewing this season's home
attendance statistics, one could hardly
say the expansion is necessary which is
unfortunate because the decision
appears irreversible.
The Southwestern Louisiana Rajun
Cajuns, the birth of the Dye I, the
nation's unanimous No. 1 team and
Heisman Trophy candidate Bo Jackson
teased only 60,000 to the Plains
although the slaughter was on
television.
However, the Southern Miss contest
wasn't part of a Saturday pigskin feast
and drew only 63,000.
Likewise a televised Ole Miss-Auburn
matchup enticed a meager 67,500.
Of course the fourth-ranked FJqrida
State Seminole-Auburn clash,' which
has evolved into one of the country's top
games, sold out as has Saturday's war
with the Florida Gators.
But a disturbing trend is evident with
an average of 66,840 fans- witnessing
each home game. The final season aver­age
for home contests, after calculating
in the Florida sellout and what is usu­ally
a good Homecoming crowd, might
threaten 70,000 at best.
Does this figure translate into nearly
20,000 empty seats per home game once
the expansion to 85,000 is completed?
Well, let's see.
The first post-expansion season fea­tures
home struggles with UT-Chattanooga,
Kansas, Vanderbilt, Mis­sissippi
State, Florida and FSU.
I'll bet the lower 40, considering TBS
and ESPN will keep some fans hpme
while showing anything resembling a
football game, no more than 70,000 will
hit the Plains for the UTC, Vandy and
Mississippi State games.
Florida and FSU are probable, but not
sure, throng drawers.
The '88 schedule offers Kentucky,
Southern Miss, and North Carolina as
home partial fillers with Tennessee and
Georgia lone opportunities to pack the
stadium.
Remember throughout this period the
odds suggest no Jackson-type drawing
card and guaranteed top five team,
although the increasingly weak' sche­dule
and Pat Dye should nurse that
problem to health.
The '80 expansion to 72,169 has
proven to be an intelligent move.
However, reflecting upon future sche­dules,
the saturation of television
audiences by college football and pres­ent
football attendance figures, the deci­sion
by the athletic department and the
Board of Trustees to expand the stadium
could well end up to be a mistake.

Allow God to reserve judgment
Dear Hypocrite,
You may or may not know me, but I
have met you many times and in many
people.
The first time I met you, I thought you
were sweet, sincere and quite entertain­ing.
I soon found out first impressions
can be deceiving.
You profess to be a Christian, a model
to your fellow students and co-workers.
That is a good and honorable ambition,
if it is not taken to the extreme of judge­mental
superiority.
Is it too much to ask that you remove
the log from your own eye before taking
the tweezers to the rest of us?
I, like you, have a religious back­ground.
I am a Christian, but I am not
perfect. Neither are you. I don't under­stand
why you would want to be. Have
you thought about the hassle perfection
would involve? There is no room for mis­takes
in the world of perfection.
Then again, I could be wrong. I have
been before. Maybe you are a messiah,
come to save Auburn and the world from
eternal damnation, but I really don't
think so and I hope not.
Or maybe you are the great apostle
sent to spread love and cheer. If so,
you're going about it the wrong way.
Physician, heal thyself.
If the preservance of mankind
depends on you, I fear we are all doomed.
By now, you may be wondering who I
am and what gives me the right to critic­ize
you. Well, that makes two of us,
because that is what I am asking you.
As long as I have opened this subject,
let me put myself at your level and give
you some advice on how to run your life.
Don't try to look into my mind or my
heart. God and I know what goes on
there and it isn't your place to find out
unless one of us wants you to know.
You can't read mine or God's mind, so
don't try to.
Don't tell me how to choose my
friends, what to wear or how to spend my
free time. This, again is between God
and myself, and once again, you do not
enter into this relationship.
If I slip, offer me help, not judgment.
If I need advice, you can offer it or I
can ask for it, but don't force it on me.
You are wasting your time and mine
when you give unwanted counsel.
If you do something kind for me, do it
because you want to. Not because people
who expect you to might be watching.
Are you wondering by now if you are
the hypocrite this letter is addressed to?
Yes, you are, and so am I, and so are all
the people on this campus and ia this
world.
i I said earlier that I was putting myself
at your level. Does that sound like I
believe I am above you? I'm sorry. I
didn't mean it to. I realize we are all
human, we all have flaws and we are all
hypocrites.
What does, however, make me better
off in the long run than you is that I see
these faults in myself and I admit them.
Sincerely yours,
Hypocrite
Students should sign 'discontent'
How do students feel about cheating
at Auburn University? Judging from
this week's mail and telephone calls, it
appears that two very different opinions
abound on this campus concerning stu­dents
getting caught cheating.
As one anonymous young lady so elo­quently
put it over the phone, "Cheating
is none of your f—-ing business." I
gathered that she was a good friend of
the boy who was reinstated in school
spring quarter, after Dr. Martin allowed
him to return without serving his entire
suspension.
I also got an interesting letter from
Sick of Injustice—a self-professed
second year vet student who claimed
that the press did not get the facts
straighten the case of the two vet stu­dents
who sued the University a couple
of weeks ago.
The first point I want to address is
that anyone who sends an anonymous
letter or makes an anonymous obscene
phone is a coward. If you want to make a
valid point that holds some credibility,
don't hide behind a cutfe little pseudo­nym
or a foul mouth. (Really, nice girls
shouldn't say the f-word!)
I am addressing the issue at hand, not
because of some groundless threats, but
because perhaps there really are some
ignorant few who don't think cheating is
anyone's business or that the Plains­man
condones cheating.
It's too bad that Sick of Injustice and
Foul Mouth can't get together and fight
this one out, but since that's highly
unlikely, I'll try and straighten them
both out.
Is cheating none of my or your busi­ness?
It's rather ludicrous to think that
we as Auburn students should know
nothing about the boy whose father
more or less bought him out of a cheat­ing
penalty, especially since the story
made the front page of numerous news­papers
throughout the state. I really
don't think that Auburn students are
illiterate or are that apathetic.
Apparently students in the vet school
think it is everyone's business when
someone cheats. And on this point I
agree. Vet students are required to sign
the following pledge: "I pledge on my
honor that I will uphold the spirit and
principles of the Code of' Professional
Ethics while a student at the School of
Veterinary Medicine, Auburn Univer­sity."
They are also required to report
known acts of academic honesty,
according to the Student Code of Profes­sional
Ethics.
I think that those students who take
their pledge seriously, and wish to keep
their profession free of unethical practi­tioners
are to be admired. But, when
they start accusing the press of being
biased in reporting a story, of which
they probably know less than the repor­ters,
then they've gone too far.
I and several other local reporters
have been accused of not getting the
facts right in the recent lawsuit involv­ing
two former vet students. Sick of
Injustice claims that I did not even
bother to get any other side of the story
other than that of the accused vet stu­dents
in the case. •*
"It is our general policy not to com­ment
on pending litigation," said Tom
Samford, the lawyer representing the
University in the recent lawsuit. The
University still could not comment for
the story last Wednesday because they
had not even received the decision
themselves.
Also, at the hearing which was held
Oct. 18, the University called no wit­nesses
to the stand. N o w tell me Sick of
Injustice how I am supposed to report
what University witnesses said if there
were none.
The reporting was based on informa­tion
available to myself and other repor­ters.
Deadlines don't wait for University
comments. If the only facts available
come from one source, then those facts
are the ones that are used to write a
story, hopefully devoid of bias.
Anyway, from now on, don't write or
phone until you get your facts straight!

Florida game opportunity
to show sportsmanship
She was a miniature Gator fan.
Excited about the rough rivalry between
the Tigers and the Florida Gators, the
10-year-old wanted to go with her older
sister to the away ballgame.
After thinking about it for a while the
older sister, Ashley, decided to take her
baby sister, Heather, with her to the
Plains.
"Please let me go," Heather had
pleaded. "I promise I'll be good, and I
won't get in your way at all."
"It's not you misbehaving I'm so wor­ried
about Sweet Tart," Ashley said,
"It's those Auburn fans that scare me,
I'm afraid you might get hurt up there."
But when Heather looked at Ashley
and pouted a little, she couldn't say no.
"O.K.,O.K., you can go to the game,
but you have to stick close to me," Ash­ley
had said.
"Yea, I'm going to the ballgame, I'm
going to the ballgame," the curly blonde
headed girl sang with excitement.
That Saturday, the two Gator fans hit
the Plains. Heather was asleep when
they drove onto the University. It was a
good thing, Ashley thought, because
there was a prominent Gator Hater sign
hanging from one of the buildings as
they drove down Magnolia Avenue.
Driving an orange tempera painted
Ford Escort that said "Tame the Tigers",
Ashley met a barage of crude comments
from some Auburn fans standing on the
side of the road.
"Go home gutter slum, ya'll don't
stand a chance today," one sloppy drunk
man said.
Heather was jolted awake by the
screaming, "are they going to hurt us
Ashley?" she asked in a timid voice.
"No, I don't think they would do any­thing
to hurt us. That's just the way
these classless Auburn people are," Ash­ley
said.
"I'm glad we're not like that," Heather
responded.
After circling the stadium several
times, Ashley finally found a parking
place for her Escort. She stopped, put it
in park and they both came out of the car
stretching.
"Well, it's time to go in, are you
ready?" Ashley asked.
"Yea, let's go, hurry up, hurry up,"
Heather answered in an eager voice.
As they entered the stadium Heather's
eyes widened to try and take in all the
new sight of Auburn's stadium. "Hold
my hand Heather. I don't want to get
Lee Ann
LANDERS
separated from you. If, for some reason
ye do get separated you go and find one
g the security guards to help you," Ash-by
said in a firm voice with one brow
Ifted.
Not five minutes later, in a crowd
valking up to the Florida section, Ash-fey
felt Heather's hand drop from hers.
She turned, but Heather was lost in the
arowd. Ashley she went to the press box
t> have her paged.
Remembering what her older sister
told her earlier, Heather began search­ing
for a security guard. The crowd was
lacked so tight that she could barely
nove. Because she was small Heather
cecided she needed someone to help her
swirve through the hundreds of bodies.
Unfortunately, she pulled on the
sleeve of an obnoxious Tiger fan who,
shoving her aside, said, "Get out of here
jiou snotty-nosed Gator fan. You don't
have any business here."
Tears welled up in her tender eyes and
her heart started pounding faster
because she feared she would not find
her sister in the blue and orange forest of
boiies that surrounded her.
Shuffling along teary eyed, Heather
finally made her way to the outer portion
of .he stadium where she saw about
three security guards watching a man
beating up another man. The guards
made no effort to break the fight up and
Heather wondered if they would help her
since they, weren't helping that poor
man. .
After spectators broke the fight up,
Heather shyly asked the guard for help.
He guided her to the press box where her
sister was waiting for her.
Once the 10-year-old calmed down she
asked Ashley, "Why are people so mean
at ball games here? We're not allowed to
act like that at my school, and we're just
kids."
"It's a mystery to me," Ashley replied.
"Sometimes children act more like
grown-ups than adults do."
Let's show everyone the class Auburn
students are famous for.
Dukes sound better to roommate
after he absorbs all the facts
The weekend before last, my room­mate,
Rah-Rah, revealed to me a star­tling
decision he had made. He told me
he had decided to change his lifelong
ambition and become an international
terrorist.
The desk in our room is two-sided, so
we are forced to look at one other as we
study. This weekend while I was trying
to get in some reading, Rah-Rah was sit­ting
across from me studying his Soldier
of Fortune magazine. He caught me off
guard when he suddenly looked up and
said he had decided to become a
terrorist.
I asked him what had happened to his
ambition to be like the Dukes of Haz-zard.
He explained that racing his car
along backroads and blowing things up
was fun but that was nothing compared
to cruising the Mediterranean and blow­ing
things up.
My first impression was that he was
under the influence of some type of
mind-altering drug, which for him could
be a can of beer. I finally decided he was
in full possession of his faculties. Under
normal conditions, however, this is a
difficult decision to reach.
I next asked him if he was fully aware
of what a terrorist did for a living. He
answered this question with a firm "Ah
Yuh." (I will pause here to explain that
Rah-Rah is originally from Chicago,
and he has a very strange and some­what
limited vocabulary. Of course his
limited vocabulary has nothing to do
with his being from Chicago.) He went
on to explain that he thought the main
job of a terrorist was to undertake psy­chological
warfare which he 'had
already engaged in and enjoyed. What
he was refering to was a job he once had
at a local fast-food restaurant. He used
to love to scare his friends by telling
them stories about the things that would
surface in the deep-fat fryer. Although
these stories, caused business to drop off
at all the local restaurants I hardly qual­ify
that as an act of terrorism.
Rah-Rah was not to be swayed. He
closed the discussion by pulling out his
.357 magnum revolver and making an
attempt to clean it. This resulted in a
large hole in the door of our room.
I felt bad because I knew Rah-Rah
didn't really know what a terrorist did. I
know that sounds strange, but Rah-Rah
has a habit of reading the sports page
and throwing the rest of the paper aside.
A third-grader has a firmer grasp of cur­rent
events than he does. I believe there
is more to life than knowing the names
and coaches of all the NFL teams. Some­times
a news headline will catch his eye
and he will read about half of the story.
He always forms the wrong opinion
from this because he never has all the'
facts. That is how he got the impres­sion
that terrorism is a type of psycho­logical
warfare. One may get the idea
Rah-Rah is really dumb for getting that
idea, but I know a lot of people who form
their opinions without having all the
facts.
This is something we all should look
out for. For example if we at the Plains­man
were to write a story without hav­ing
all the facts we could damage some­one's
reputation. In Rah-Rah's case he
might hurt someone physically.
Getting back to where I was, which
was the hole in the door, Rah-Rah was
not to be reasoned with. So I decided to
enlist the aid of the prospective vet stu­dent.
Between the two of us, we managed
to convince him that terrorists are
always on the run and therefore do not
have time to party or drink beer. Rah-
Rah dropped the idea like a bomb. Now
all we have to worry about is keeping
him.from racing along backroads and
blowing things up.

Vet student believes coverage biased
Editor, The. Plainsman:
It is a mixed blessing that in this coun­try
people are allowed to say whatever
they want to whether or not they have
any knowledge of the facts. I am writing
in reference to the continuing news­paper
melodrama over the lawsuit filed
by two vet students early this fall.
It is understandable that Auburn stu­dents
are at best confused over this
recent chain of events. Innuendo and
accusations flow freely from the plain­tiffs
lawyer who, inspite of his show­manship,
cannot change the facts with
his prolific nonsense. Couple this with
The Plainsman's lack of understanding
of our country's judicial system, and the
fog of ignorance grows thicker by the
minute.
Let me make this clear. The Student
Code of Professional Ethics works at the
College of Veterinary Medicine. It is that
simple.
We are easily misled by the one-sided
quotations that are appearing so often
in newsprint recently. Certainly if it is in
the paper then it must be true. Maybe,
not.
It is time for us to be objective before
we judge. Fortunately, it is the policy of
the University to do its fighting in the
courtroom where a decision is made
based on facts, and not on the front page
where sentiment is too often swayed by
inflammatory half truths.
Let us then rest easier in the knowledge
that the district court found in favor of
the University on all counts and on
October 25th, refused an appeal by the
plaintiffs.
Although I am sure that the editors of
The Plainsman were well intended when
they called for a "strengthening of the
code" last week, their statements only
amplify their, confusion with every
newspaper they put in print.
The editorial board stated that "what
good are codes if students who are found
guilty can ignore them and run to a law­yer
and sue the University!"
The editorial also implied that
because the University was sued our
system is too weak. It is evident instead
that the recent outcome of this trial only
proves the strength of the ethics board
and its decision.
So, I implore all who read this to
beware of hot-blooded rhetoric and
righteous indignation and take it with
the grain of salt it deserves. ;<
Let us all be patient, stay objective,
and let due process take its course.

Gator looks for nice visit
Editor's Note: The following letter from
Florida's Student Body President Earl Zie-barth
was received this week.
Dear Auburn University:
As you well know, this is a big week­end
upcoming in college football. Your
Auburn Tigers will be hosting the Flor­ida
Gators in what promises to be one of
the most outstanding games ever in our
history.
I would like to congratulate the War
Eagles on the outstanding season you
have had. With both of our teams enjoy­ing
high national rankings it makes this
game even more intense. We know if we
win this game that we could end up
national champions. A goal we all have
in our minds.
After talking with your student lead­ers
on campus, I am confident that the
nearly ten thousand Gator fans will
have an enjoyable stay in Auburn, and
make many new frinds. After all",
Auburn is the friendliest campus in
America.
See ya on Saturday.
Go Gators! :
Vehicles take students' parking places
Editor, The Plainsman: ,
I am a commuting student with a large
gripe—recreational-vehicles!
If I forget about a home football game,
I am reminded on Thursday afternoon
by the presence o.f R-V's and travel trail­ers
in the Memorial Coliseum parking
lot.
Why in the world someone would show
up for a Saturday football game on
Thursday puzzles me.
Can't they party and carouse at home
and not get in the way of students at the
University they so loyally support? If
nothing else, those people should avoid
taking up four parking spaces in an area
of parking shortage.
I realize that most of these people are
wealthy alumni whom the University
wishes to keep happy, but why incon­venience
people engaged in active study
just to allow geriatric teenagers to have
a four-day party weekend?
I do have two possible solutions to the
problem. That is, two solutions that do
not completely bar R-V's from the Uni­versity's
property.
Solution No. 1 would be to forbid R-V's
to park in student parking areas prior to
5 p.m. on Fridays.
Solution No. 2 is to provide parking in
another area that will not interfere with
normal school parking patterns. ' The
lower end of freshman parking across
from the ROTC building should be fine.
If none of the three possible solutions
are adopted, I think that we should "all
stay out of school during future fall,
.quarters.

Writers'columns focus on irrelevant issues ]
Editor, The Plainsman:
As a$ avid reader of The Plainsman
for the past two years, I look forward to
picking up my copy before class on
Thursday mornings. From campus
news to entertainment, one could not
keep informed of Auburn's progress and
events without The Plainsman. But
lately there is one section of the paper
that is left unread by the majority of
students because of its argumentative
style, irrelevant issues, and outdated
material. The section is the editorial
pages.
For example, Bob Murdaugh's
October 24th article, "Majorettes' Out­fits
Cloud Routine," would best fit under
the title of irrelevant issues. Do we have
enough space in our campus paper to
complain about uniforms deemed accept­able
years ago when modest dress was
fashionable? Could not the space be bet­ter
used as advertisements or do both
pages have to be filled in order for the
editorial section to be complete?
Granted Murdaugh has written some
excellent articles not only in past
Plainsman issues, but also in some
regional magazines. Murdaugh's recent
article did judge the majorettes unfairly
in terms of their religious beliefs and
moral convictions for no reason other
than his unjustified opinion of the
Auburn students' lustful attitudes
toward the majorettes' routines.
An excellent example of argumenta­tive
style and outdated material is Sala-theia
Bryant's regular editorial
columns. Her treatment of race relations
at Auburn only segregates the campus.
Are race relations really as bad as she
would have us believe?
I regularly talk to active minority stu­dents
on campus and they get tired of the
repetitiveness of the issue just as much
as the "majority" students. : j
I realize securing fresh topics weekly
is a hard task. I also realize and appre­ciate
the talent and time that goes into
each article in the paper. Howe.ver, I am
anxiously awaiting the day when I ca"n
pick up my Thursday morning Plains­man,
read the entire paper, and not nec-cessarily
agree with every article in the
editorial section, but at least feel my
time was well spent.

Cooperation, not agitation, needed on roads
Editor, The Plainsman:
I believe that many people in Auburn
are taking Beth Hughes' Oct. 24 column,
"Driver Incurs Pedestrian's Wrath," a
little too seriously. Hughes obviously
put no thought into or used little journal­istic
intelligence in writing her article.
Her statement, "Scare them (pedestri­ans
and cyclists) into obeying traffic
laws," is an outrage. This is a very
serious statement. Maybe she was not
serious when she wrote this, but I believe
that it has inspired the many perfect
motorists of this town, who always obey
every traffic law, into conquering their
kingdom.
Of course not all motorists are out to
get us cyclists and we thank those who
take the time to go around us instead of
running over us. I realize that all cyclists
do not follow every rule, especially on
campus.
But, one must also realize that not all
motorists follow their rules either. How
many times have I seen a car fly thorugh
a light that already turned red or whiz
down a street which is zoned 25 mph at
speeds in excess of 40 mph? So you see
motorists are not perfect either.
My wife and I are cyclists and have
been for some time. (By this I mean we
ride 15 miles or so a day and not just
back and forth to school) On our ride
Friday, we received more threats and
near misses than we have ever had on
one ride before. We even had things
thrown at us from a car.
This is really cute, right? Wrong. We
also had a car come up behind us and
honk at us to move over when we were on
the right side of the outside lane on a
four-lane road.
HQW much room does it take to pass
two small bicycles? We do not ride down
the middle of the lane except when we
need to turn across traffic, so cars will
not run over us, and we do not weave in
and out of cars. But we receive such
harsh treatment. We try to give drivers
more than their fair share of the road,
and all we ask is a little respect in return.
So do you really mean to tell people to
run over other people and cyclists with
their cars? If so, by the way, how many
puppies did you kick on your way to
school this morning?
Seriously though, motorists threaten­ing
cyclists on the road is very life
threatening to the cyclist. Being cut in '.
front of, side swiped or forced off the
road can easily cause serious injury and
even be fatal, and is not to be taken
lightly.
I do not think the answer lies in motor­ists
taking command of the road, but in
the motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians
working together to be more aware of
each other, sharing the road, and trying
to respect each other rights.

Stein's tuition policy receives support;
Editor, The Plainsman:
We, as student leaders in the school of
civil engineering, applaud Student Gov-erment
Association President John
Stein for speaking out against the pro­posed
tuition fee system.
We also agree, as Stein so aptly stated,
that adding a fee per-hour over 15 hours
discourages, and even penalizes, those
student who wish to graduate in 12
quarters.
This is the all-important issue. An
institution that implements a policy that
lowers the morale and progression of its
student body for the sole purpose of
additional revenue stifles the very pur­pose
for its existence.
It is with this contention that we
endorse Stein's proposal for a flat-fee
tuition. A system of this type penalizes
no one, especially students who are taku
ing at least 17 hours per quarter attempts'
ing to graduate on time. J!
We feel that it is time for Presiden|
James Martin and the Board of Trustee^
to withdraw the tuition fee system schef
duled to begin spring quarter and pro*;
pose a more equitable system for air
concerned.
Again, we commend Stein for meeting
this issue head-on and representing the
true stand of the student body. We stand
behind you on this crucial issue and urge
other student organizations to voice an*
opinion. ;

Subcommittee investigating tuition increase
By Denise Self
News Staff
The newly formed SGA eight-member
subcommittee created to
study implications resulting
from the recent tuition increase
--15-hour flat rate plus a $14 fee
for each additional hour -- will
present its findings within two
weeks, said Mark McDowell, off-campus
senator and chairman of
the committee.
The resolution expressing dis­agreement
with the changed tui­tion
policy, requesting that future
student input be considered, was
introduced Oct. 21 by McDowell's
committee and was reviewed at
Monday night's SGA Cabinet
meeting.
McDowell said copies of the
resolution were distributed to
Gov. George C. Wallace, Board of
Trustees and Auburn Adminis­tration.
The subcommittee plans
to research other universities'
tuition policies and graduated
fees (additional cost to a set tui­tion
rate), McDowell said.
Students will also be able to
voice their opinions at a poll
taken during the time they pick
up their schedules for Winter
quarter. "We are working to get
student response to the situa­tion,"
McDowell added.
In other Cabinet action:
~ Robert Maund, secretary of
Public Relations, announced the
Second Annual Better Relations
Conference between Auburn and
the University of Florida this
Saturday from 10 a.m. until 12
p.m. in Foy Union. The SGA
sponsored reception for Florida
fans and Auburn students "is
designed to say although there is
intense rivalry on field, there is
no need for destruction off the
field," said John Stein, SGA
president.
~ A map showing lighted areas
of the campus will be available to
students January 1986, said
John Guglielmi, director of Stu­dent
Safety. Gugliemi also
announced "Rape Awareness
Week," scheduled Nov. 11-14 on
the concourse. Along with the
Student Safety Committee, the
Auburn's Women Caucus, Inter-fraternity
Council and Panhel-lenic
Council will distribute
information and information
regarding counseling from tables
set up between 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
~ The SGA sponsored Eagle
Escort Service hired a female
dispatcher to instruct escorts to
designated.locations, Guglielmi
said. Sophomore Larisa Keilich
started work Oct. 17.
- More than 30 Alabama
Representatives participated
Oct. 26 for the first Legislative
Alumni Day held in Foy Union
Room 213. The Student Lobby
Committee, in its effort to pro­mote
student interest, sponsored
the event which included a ban­quet
and free football tickets to
the lawmakers. University Rela­tions
sponsored a slide show
depicting changes at Auburn
University. Speaker of the House
Representative Tom Drake and
Judge Fred Folsom were among
the guests.
SENATE MEETING
"I want to know why and how
to get people into the stands,"
said Sonny Smith, Auburn bas­ketball
coach during Monday
night's SGA Senate meeting.
Instead of delivering a lecture
on "Leadership" as planned,
Smith more or less pleaded with
students for suggestions on ways
to generate attendance during
basketball season.
Problems such as games sche-d
u l e d d u r i n g f i n a l ex­ams,
the need to schedule name
teams, improved seating for stu­dents
and better distribution of
the basketball game schedule
were discussed among the sena­tors
and committee directors
present.
"We are like an entertainment
business," Smith said. "If we
ain't entertaining, then they
(audience) ain't coming."

Don't be Gator Hater
Better-relations day eases tension
By Carol Callahan
Features Writer
Thinking about wearing your
Gator Hater t-shirt to the Florida
game this Saturday? Why not
change your wardrobe plans and
wear something orange and blue
instead?
This may help ease some of the
tensions between football rivals,
Auburn and Florida, which is
also the goal of the AU-UF Better
Relations Day held here on cam­pus
last Tuesday.
Student leaders from Florida
met with student leaders from
Auburn to discuss ways to
improve relations between the
schools. The first Better Rela­tions'
Day was hey last year at
Florida, sparked from fights and
the influx of Gator Hater shirts
during the 1983 AU-UF football
game.
Dr. Wilfred S. Bailey, then the
interim president of Auburn, first
suggested the idea for the Better
Relations .Day in a letter
addressed to Dr. Robert Q. Mart-son,
Florida's president.
Bailey expressed his concern to
Florida's president about the
intense rivalries between the
football teams and institutions
and the attention given to this by
the media.
Since Auburn has been holding
Better Relations Day with the
University of Alabama from
1948, Bailey said, "We have an
intense rivalry on the field and a
strong competitive spirit on the
part of alumni and fans, but with
a high degree of decorum and
generally very good sports­manship."
Thus, Bailey suggested hold­ing
a similar Better Relations
Day with Florida. Florida agreed
Campaigning/or education
By Lee Ann Landers
Assistant News Editor
Alabamians are becoming rest­less
and dissatisfied with the
lack of their state's development,
and education is the only way to
attract business and industry
into the state, said gubernatorial
candidate George McMillan.
"We are at a critical junction in
Alabama, unfortunately we
remain a land of poverty floating
in a sea of prosperity," McMillan
said last Thursday.
McMillan said Alabamians are
frustrated with Alabama's lead­ership
because "They don't know
what they are doing or why, and
they have no vision to take Ala­bama
where it should go."
Jobs, McMillan said, are going
to other states because Alabama
does not have an adequate public
education system. "Most corpo­rate
executives put emphasis on
public education and the educa­tional
opportunties for the child­ren
of employees."
Alabamians are frustrated
with the state government
because Alabama is losing jobs
not to the North or West, but to its
sister states, McMillan said.
Tennessee's governor, Lamar
Alexander, stresses education
and therefore the state has
stronger qualities to attract
industry and business.
The public education system
also lags behind in preparing
children for the advanced tech­nology
and computer age which
dominates much of the job
market today, McMillan said.
Within the education budget,
McMillan said, funds should be
provided to make computer tech­nology
courses available in the
public education system.
McMillan, who lost the demo­cratic
nomination in the last elec­tion,
said the higher education
policies should be reformed to
prevent duplicating curricula
withing the Alabama higher
education system.
The key to growth, McMillan
reiterated, is soley excellence in
education.

to the idea and held the event last
year, meeting with AU student
leaders. Social events involving
both schools were planned to be
held before the AU-UF game to
help ease tensions between the
schools.
Events planned at this year's
Better Relations Day include put­ting
up a billboard welcoming
Florida fans to Auburn and hold­ing
a Student Leaders' Reception
before the game for both Auburn
and Florida student leaders
Earl Ziebarth, Florida's SGA
president, has attended the last
two AU-UF Better Relations
Day and said the meeting
was successful because "it shows
everyone we have class and can
be good sports." "It places in the
minds of the students the idea of
a friendly rivalry and of good
sportsmanship," said Ziebarth.
Robert Maund, Secretary of
Public Relations for the SGA and
organizer of the 1985 Better Rela­tions
Day, said he thinks Better
Relations Day helps. "Even
though it's a small representa­tion
of the Florida student body
participating, this can help them
see what Auburn's campus and
students are really like," said
Maund.
John Stein, SGA president, is
writing a letter to the editor for
the UF student newspaper in
hopes of encouraging a positive
attitude for this year's AU-UF
football game. Stein said Better
Relations Day "help portray
both schools in a positive way."
"I hope;this Saturday the Florida
fans will see the hospitality and
spirit that Auburn's campus is
famous for," said Stein.
Nutritionist links diet with cancer

medical world, "Does Diet Inhibit
Cancer?" will be the title of a talk
at Auburn University by Diane

for Research in Cancer.
The University of Nebraska
researcher will speak at 1 p.m. on
Wednesday, Oct. 30, in 101-B of

of Drug-Nutrient Interactions
and a reviewer for the Journal of
the National Cancer Institute,
Cancer Research, Carcinogene­sis,

the role of dietary fat in experi­mental
pancreas cancer, the
other on urinary bladder cancer
promotion by diet. She has pub­lished
extensively on her
research on diet and its effects on
health. .
A Whittier College graduate,
she earned her Ph.D. in nutrition
as a General Foods Fellow at
Purdue in 1975. She joined the
Eppley Institute in 1976 and
since 1982 has been an associate
professor at the Institute and at
the College of Pharmacy, Uni­versity
of Nebraska Medical Cen­ter.

Activist,
novelist
to speak
Virginia Foster Durr, whose
autobiography, "Outside the
Magic Circle^" has just been pub­lished,
will be in Auburn Sunday,
Nov. 3, for a lecture at the Center
for the Arts and Humanities.
Durr and her editor, Hollinger
F. Bernard, will be at Pebble Hill
(the old Scott-Yarbrough House)
at 3 p.m. to discuss the events in
the book wjiich has already been
called "an important political
history," as well as "an intensely
personal story" of the 82-year old
Alabama civil rights heroine.
It was Durr and her husband,
attorney Clifford J. Durr, who
accompanied Montgomery civil
rights leader E.D. Nixon when
Nixon bailed Rosa Parks out of
jail in the 1950's. It was the Durrs
(she is the sister-in-law of the late
Justice Hugo Black) who let
Freedom Riders camp in their
Alabama home in the 1960's.
"We were trying to do away
with segregation," Mrs. Durr
says, "which at the time was
established by law everywhere. It
was really a dreadful system as
cruel as you can imagine, as bad
as apartheid in South Africa.
There used to be a traveling
library bus going around Mont­gomery
and I remember a young
black girl trying to borrow a book
and being refused. Segregation
was somethiing embedded in
every segment of society."
Mrs. Durr began to quetion her
racial biases when she attended
Wellesley College in the 1920's.
For the first time, she encoun­tered
black women as peers
rather than servants.
And for the next 50 years she
was a leader in civil rights
causes, inspiring blacks and
whites, and especially women,
engaged in the struggle for basic
rights.
"It was a long hard struggle, I
can tell you. It was indeed. And,
of course, we had to take a tre­mendous
lot of Red-baiting
because the people against us
thought that anybody who
wanted to give the black the right
to vote just had to be a revolu­tionary.
We were being attacked
on all sides as 'agents of a foreign
power.' It shows you the insane
hysteria of that time."
Durr's recollections of her
friends and former political
opponents are candid and Mrs.
Barnard has edited the book
"with a mind toward making it
enjoyable and readable for young
people as well as for Mrs. Durr's
contemporaries."
C. Vann Woodward, prominent
Southern historian, said the book
"reflects the inimitable storytell­ing
style" of Mrs. Durr, and "she
delivers as a relaxed chronicler
rather than as a polemical
assailant."
Studs Terkel, writer and oral
historian, writes in the introduc­tion
"...there were three ways for
a well-brought-up young South­ern
white woman to go... She
could be the actress, playing out
the stereotype of the Southern
belle...she could go crazy...or she
could be the rebel. She could step
outside the magic circle, abandon
privilege, and challenge this way
of life."

Left brain not familiar with right brain
By Jody Kamins
News Staff
Brain research is proving the
statement true that your right
hand doesn't always know what
your left hand is doing.
Dr. Sally Springer, co-author of
the book Left Brain, Right Brain,
spoke on Oct. 25 to students and
faculty about her research in
hemispheric asymmetry of the
brain.
Springer gave examples prov­ing
that the right side of the brain
controls the manipulative and
spacial aspects of thought and
action, while the left side of the
brain controls speech and lan­guage.
This means functionally
they are assymetrical.
Information is transferred
from one side of the brain to
another by connective tissue by
the corpus callosum. According
to Dr. William O. Haynes, an
associate professor in the Uni­versity's
department of commun­ication
disorders, epileptic
patients often undergo an opera­tion
that severs the corpus callo­sum
and relieves the seizures
they suffer. When it is severed,
their brain cannot transfer
information from one hemis­phere
to another.
In testing split brain patients,
Springer found justification for
her ideas about the differences
between the left and right hemis­pheres
of the brain.
Split brain patients given an
object in their left hand could not
verbalize what they were holding
if they were unable to see it with
their right eye. This was because
stimulus from the left side of the
body had been transferred to the
right hemisphere of the brain,
which is manipulative rather
than verbal. If it was presented to
the right hand, the information
travelled to the left hemisphere
which controls expressive
speech.
Also, the split brain patients
Another area of study has been
on the correlation between left-handedness
and immune system
disorders. In a sense, Springer
said,"It is the body turning on
itself in the form of allergies,
were shown a picture composed
of two halves of different faces.
When asked to point to the person
they had seen from a choice of
four photographs, they would
point to the face whose half was
on the left, but if asked to name
the person, they would identify
the face which had been on the
right.
Several new developments
have occurred in research of the
left and right hemispheres of the
brain. Imaging techniques can be
used to make pictures of blood
flow through the brain.
arthritis, and other ailments.
One researcher found that
when comparing 500 strongly
left-handed subjects to 500
strongly right-handed subjects,
the left-handers showed two and
a half times more cases of
migraines, stuttering, and
allergies.
According to Springer, the
amount of testosterone that a
fetus is exposed to "does have
effects on the developing brain."
It can delay the development of
the left hemisphere while causing
greater development of the right
hemisphere.
Springer concluded, "We will
see what correspondence there is
between anatomical assymetry
and functional assymetry in the
next decade."
Plans made to widen College Street
SUIT
Montgomery, said no fraud
took place." We accomplished
everything we'd ever hoped for in
the lawsuit, including a recovery
in the good name and reputation
of the Conner Brothers Construc­tion
Company. And we are very
pleased with the monetary set­tlement,"
McPhillips added.
As a part of the settlement the
amount of money settled on can­not
be disclosed, McPhillips said.
Conner Brothers lost the bid as
the lowest bidder after the archi­tect
for the project, Oza Bou­chard,
of Goleman-Rolfe and
Associates, a Houston, Texas
firm run by a second-generation
Auburn Alumnus, recommended
continued from A - l
that the University change con­struction
companies.
In his letter rejecting the
Conner bid, Bouchard said he
found Conner Brothers lacking
"after a thorough investigation."
Officials here decided to reject
the lower bid in June 1984, and in
August the University accepted
the higher law offer wilthout
rebidding the project.
Under the state law, educa­tional
institutions are required to
take the lowest bid on any project
costing $2,000 or more.
The Conner Brothers company
charged that Auburn bypassed
state bid laws and that its reputa­tion
was damaged by the Univer­sity's
actions.
Work on widening more than a
mile of college street to four lanes
will probably begin the first of
December, state highway offi­cials
report.
Miles Ward, Lee County dis­trict
engineer for the Alabama
Highway Department, said bids
have been received on the project
that will make College Street —
which also is U.S. 29 and Ala­bama
Highway 147 — four lanes
from the Samford Avenue inter­section
to where the highway
now becomes four lanes near
Donahue Drive.
Samford Avenue runs past the
Kappa Alpha fraternity house.
Ward said the project, which is
being paid for with state funds,
will also feature the addition of
turning lanes on sections of the
highway.
Since the two original lanes
will still be available for use,
Ward said, "We don't think the
construction is going to greatly
interrupt traffic flow."
"There may be some dropoff,
but we don't expect any drastic
problems," he said. "The project
will be handled in such a way as
to prevent major inconvenience."
About 12 feet on either side of
the road will be added, Ward said.
Including a curb and gutters, the
total expansion will be about 15
feet.
The apparent low bidder for the
project is the R.E. Grill Construc­tion
Co. of Birmingham. Its bid
was $943,100.
Utilities along the 1.7 miles of
road will be moved beginning
December, and work on the road
will commence early next spring,
Ward said. The widening will not
require the moving of any homes
or buildings, and the highway
will primarily use the existing
right of way, he added.
The project should be com­pleted
by early September 1986.
MOVIE
Dusty Knight, an extra, had
his car (a 1973 Monte Carlo),
appear in the movie. The car is in
several major parking lot scenes,
complete with Auburn stickers
and tags. The movie company
paid for the use of the car as well.
Fred Bourne, a stand-in for
Tom Skerrett, worked 18 to 19
days on the set and also was an
extra. Bourne said the actors and
actresses were human too
because they "got their lines
mixed up just like the bloopers
you see on television."
The chance to be a part of a
movie for Brad Roberts, an extra,
was a good learning experience,
even though he is more interested
in pursuing stage work. Roberts
has worked his way through
Auburn and has been in several
plays just as Tate Donovan
worked his way through the Uni­versity
of Southern California.
Donovan has appeared in a cou­ple
of movies, commercials and
on episodes of "Hill Street Blues."
Melanie Bernstein, a stand-in
for Leaf Phoenix, did not want to
be in the movie. She said, "I
didn't like having to stand
around all the time."
The Auburn students discussed
how that now when they are
watching movies and television
shows, they can't help but
wonder how many "takes" a par­ticular
scene requires to be a fin­ished
product. Special attention
is paid to effects, props and the
extras in the background.
Several students concluded
after this eye-opening experience
that it takes "talent and knowing
how to work with people and
being at the right place at the
right time to make it in the
movies."
Rob Harris, ABC Motion Pic­tures
publicist, said, "The
Huntsville scenes sefc the tone of
the picture and are the key
because it is where we get the
characters developed and the
audience interested."
continued from A-l
Patrick Bailey, co-producer,
said, "We've been very lucky to
get a good cast together, to get
real cooperation from the people
here in Alabama, and to have a
really interesting and feasible
story to tell."
This action-adventure film was
written by Patrick Bailey,
directed by Harry Winer and pro­duced
by Leonard Goldberg and
Harold Schneider. It will be
released June of 1986 and will
premiere in Washington, D.C.,
Alabama and California in May.

HOW TO BUY A DIAMOND
There u * three approaches to
having a flue diamond, or an
exceptional piece of diamond
Jewelry:
1. There is the old fashioned
way " l looking for a ring until you
find one you like. If it's in your
price range, huy it enjoy it.
and never look hack.
2. Buy from a discount opera­tion.
It's probably been priced

monds. Learn about the cutting,
color, perfection and weight. I'se
a microscope and know what to
look for. See a set of "Master

color w ill best fit your needs
Select your unmounted diamond
and then select the exact ring tor

At W j r o wi- are more than
willing to take the time to explain
about diamonds >es. we be­lieve
«.l is best. If v>u do find the
subject ot diamonds interesting
and you would like to get the
best possible in a diamond, here
are a few facts which we present
as a service to vou.
What color is a diamond'.'
Diamonds come in all colors
pale blue, dark blue. U'llow-, pink,
green. The famous Hope diamond
is u dark blue. Hut these colors
are called "fancies" and are u,unc
rare and expensive.
The most pi/ed diamonds to
many are the colorless, or pure
white diamonds. Most diamonds
have a verv faint tinge ol some
color usuallv vellow. WHAT
COLOR SHOLL0 VOLRS BK'
That's up to vou You may feel
you prefer the verj finest color
But n will tost more than .-
diamond wuh a -light color in it.
We have a set of "'certified"
diamonds examples of each
color to assist you in understand­ing
this important point in
-selecting a diamond Once vou
have seen all grades you will
hCttCr understand color"grldmg
and you wilt probablv be able
to select the grade diamond that
you would prefer comparing
appearance arri price.
What Shape is a Diamond'
Any shape. But there arc sis
shapes >ou see more of than
others: Brilliant. Marquise. Oval.
Kmcrald Cut. Pear and Hear
Shape. The Brilliant cut. as * «
know, is also oalled a Roitn.i
diamond.
o <^
How Big is a Diamond'.'
A diamond's site is measured
by its weight — in carats. There
are 142 carats in an avoirdupois
ounce Carats are divided into
points — 100 points to the carat.
So a 52-pinni diamond is just over
half a carat.
But
a brilliant cut diamond of 1 carai
will appear to most people to be
bigger than an emerald cut
diamond of the same weight!
Oval and marquise cuts also tend
to seem a little larger per carat.
-Vou might think that a 2-carai..
stone would cost less per carat
than a 1-carat diamond (because,
after all. a 2-pound loaf of bread
doesn't iost twice as much as a
I-pound loaf). But ihat is hoi the
iase. Because si/e itself is a rarity
factor Thvre are far. far fewer
2-carat siones in cmtciice than
l-carai stones — and they cost a
good deal more than tiwee as
much •*- ' carat siones of similar
qualm ••• other respect*
DID SOMEBODY SAT
"FLAWLESS?"
The clarity of a diamond is
important. Almost all diamonds
contain tiny inclusions — minute
imperfections included in them
when they were formed • by
nature. To call a diamond "flaw­less."
a diamond must have no
imperfections when viewed by an
expert under 10-powcr magnifica­tion
in good light!
Instead, each has its irwn
unique personality — a tiny
addition by nature which makes
one diamond unlike any other in
the world.
How Well Is It Cut?
Not all diamonds are cut to the
perfection of those shown in the
pictures. Fine diamonds, how­ever,
are. The cutting and
faceting is for the purpose of
making the most of the diamond's
ability to reflect and refract light
— m dazzle the beholder, as fine
diamonds have since time im­memorial.
Is that all there is to know about
Diamonds'.'

guarantee cover when one pur­chases
a diamond. (Remember to
