ACHE to present plan to Clemon on Friday
By Kim Best
News Editor
The Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE) will pres­ent
its plan to eliminate the racially dual aspect of public universities
to U.S. District Judge U.W. Clemon on Friday, the deadline set by
Clemon for the plan to be submitted.
"We have been working virtually round-the-clock the last two weeks
and the proposal will be in Birmingham Friday," said Sonny Bras-field,
a spokesman for the commission.
In the December ruling on the case in which the Justice Department
accused the State of Alabama of running a racially dual system of
higher education, Clemon ordered that ACHE, Gov. George C. Wal­lace
and the Alabama Public School and College Authority develop a
plan to eliminate what demons feels is the "vestiges of discrimina­tion"
in universities throughout the state.
The State Board of Education, Auburn University, the University of
Alabama and Troy State University are appealing the Valentine Day
deadline.
Because much of the background work on the case was done by the
commission, the governor asked that the commission be responsible
for writing the plan, Brasfield said.
ACHE held a public hearing to get input from the various educa­tional
institutions throughout the state. The event was a day-long
hearing held in Montgomery and educators from all over the state
were invited to attend.
Six other public sessions were held throughout the state to get input
from people who would be affected by the plan. "We got a number of
useful ideas from those sessions and ACHE came away with a good
sense of what is important to the people," Brasfield said.
"The number one issue seems to be the need for central governing of

plan on time
By Stephanie Hunt
Assistant News Editor
A plan to "eliminate vestiges of
segregation" in Alabama's
higher education system will be
submitted by the Friday dead­line,
according to U.S. District
Court Judge U.W. Clemon.
"My office has received no
requests for an extension of time
from the parties responsible for
the plan," which includes the
Governor, the Alabama Com­mission
on Higher Education
and the Alabama Public Schools•
and Colleges Authority, said
Clemon in a telephone interview
Wednesday.
"When I receive the plan," said
Clemon, "a hearing will be sche­duled
to give the parties involved
an opportunity to present evi­dence
in support of, or in opposi­tion
to the plan."
At the hearing, which will be
held in two weeks, according to
Clemon, those parties will submit
written comments.
Clemon said that he has
received the "ordinary mail asso­ciated

all the institutions in the state," Brasfield added.
"To our knowledge, Alabama is the first state to hold public hear­ings
to get input in a case like this," he said.
Asked to comment on the content of the plan, Brasfield said only
that "the plan will address both the letter and spirit of demon's order
and touch base on everything. It is not in the best interest of anyone
involved for the judge to read the content of the order in the newspaper
before it appears on his desk."
It is difficult to tell how Clemon will react to the plan, Brasfield said,
and added that "somebody is going to appeal whatever ruling Clemon
sets down."
In a notice filed in the U.S..11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta
Feb. 6, Auburn revived an earlier attempt to have Clemons removed
from the case on grounds of bias.

CHIVALRY IS NOT DEAD-Ruirik
of Ros and Wilfred
Berahtram, better known on
campus as Joey Henderson
and Randall Bennett, battled
it out on Cater Lawn yester­day.
Both knights in shining
armor are members of the
Society of Creative Anachro­nisms,
a University club that
specializes in medieval crafts
and lore. The mock battle was
part of a day long demonstra­tion
staged to gam interest in
the club. All of the armor
worn by the society members
is handmade. The club meets
every Tuesday and regularly
participates in "war and
feast" festivities. All judging
during the battles is based on
medieval ideas of chivalry.

Starting fall quarter, students
may no longer have to fill out
those bothersome little cards
when checking out library books.
No longer will students have to
copy down reference numbers
and search for hours only to find
the books have been checked out.
As computerization of the
catalog system continues, testing
has begun to develop an auto­mated
circulation system at
Ralph Draughon Library. Books
and student IDs will be bar-coded,
making it possible to
check out books by use of a com­puter
scanner instead of the con­ventional
written card.
With the new system, patrons
will be able to tell which books
are checked out or missing by
simply looking on the computer.
Other benefits of the system will
include convenience to library
staff and greater accuracy.
All we're doing right now is
testing," said Sherida Downer,
director of circulation, "but, we
hope to be able to use the system
by sometime next fall." And, said
Downer,"we won't have to try to
.read -everyone's handwriting
anymore." •"""~~ "~
"Progress" is the key word to
describe the library in the past
year.
If funds continue as budgeted,
the library will take its first step
toward membership in the Asso­ciation
of Research Libraries, a
goal President James E. Martin
set at his inauguration two years
ago.
"The ARL is an organization
made up of about 112 research
libraries in the country," said Dr.
William C. Highfill, University
librarian. He said about 100 of
these libraries are associated
with universities.
Although there are about 200
research libraries in the U.S.,
only the stronger ones are
members of the association.
Auburn, Mississippi State and
the University of Mississippi are
the only SEC school libraries
that aren't members.
Certain standards must be met
before a library can obtain mem­bership.
These requirements
include such things as number of
volumns, volumns added during
the year, number of staff, and
expenditures for library mate­rials
and staff salaries.
Based on these variables, a
minimum membership index
score is developed.
"We have never reached that
level," said Highfill. "We've got­ten
fairly close, but we've never
made it."
The library materials budget
was increased by about $700,000
from last year, and Highfill said
if the budget is not cut, "we stand
a good thance of' making that
index score for the first time.":
In working toward this goal.a-bout
50,000 volumns were added
to the library's 1.3 million books
last year. Library staff has also
been increased.
"Membership to the associa­tion
bespeaks the quality of your
library, and that is what is
important," said Highfill.
GSA withdraws from
SGA due to problems

Higgins attains academic position
By Suzy Fleming
Associate Editor
Earl B. Higgins came to
Auburn as a student in 1972. Dur­ing
the last 13 years, he has
earned a doctorate degree in edu­cation
and was named assistant
vice president for academic
affairs, the highest administra­tive
position held presently by a
black faculty member.
Before he came to Auburn, the
native of South Carolina said he
knew little about the University.
"I drove through Auburn on the
way to Columbus, Ga.," he said,
"and thought it looked like a
pleasant place."
Higgins came to Auburn with
12 other blacks to begin work on
upper-level degrees in counselor
education. The program was fed­erally
funded to re-train blacks
who were adversely affected by
the desegregation of schools, he
said.
"I was shocked," Higgins said
about the atmosphere he found at
Auburn. "People were so incredi­bly
friendly, helpful, accepting.
There were 15 blacks in the pro­gram
the first year (he was here)
so there was a built-in support
group."
In 1982 during President
Hanly Funderburk's administra­tion,
Higgins started an intern­ship
working with central admin
istration in Samford Hall. "The
one-year internship program
encourages students to go to
other universities, but due to a
number of circumstances, I
stayed in Auburn," he said.
Interim President Wilford Bai­ley
asked Higgins to continue
working. "In general," said Bai­ley,
"he served as an adviser to
me as president on all subjects in
the area of academic affairs. Dur­ing
the year I worked with him, I
found him always cooperative, a
very effective worker with var­ious
groups on campus."
Bailey also remembers Higgins
for his work with minority stu­dents.
"He promoted minority
weekend and discussions with
me," said Bailey. "He has always
been very concerned with the
needs of individual students, wil­ling
to help them."
When Dr. James E. Martin took
over the presidency, Higgins con­tinued
to work in Samford Hall.
He assumed the title of assistant
vice president for academic
affairs in 1984.
Higgins' duties with academic
affairs vary. They include work
with the Affirmative Action-
Equal Employment Opportuni­ties
office, instructional work on
student concerns of academic
nature, chairing the lectures
committee and keeping up with
visa for foreign faculty members,
"among other things," he said.
In addition to this work, Hig­gins
still holds the position of
assistant professor in the counse­lor
education department.
Though the department is
mainly for graduate students, he
said, some undergraduate
courses are offered.
"The department trains coun­selors
to work in various settings
such as school counselors, men­tal
health counselors and reha­bilitation
counselors," he said.
"All of those functions that pro­vide
counseling to students."
Because of Higgin's involve­ment
with recruiting black stu­dents,
he said he is concerned
about the publicity given to the
order of U.S. District Judge U.W.
Clemon. "I think the press has
sensationalized the judge's
order," he said.
"The order h a s n ' t found
Auburn guilty of anything,
hasn't ordered Auburn to do any­thing.
It's not against Auburn,
but the state of Alabama. The
judge has asked the governor's
office to respond with a remedy
for the state's dual educational
system.
"Rather than focus on the
order, the press has focused on
the judge's opinion. He is free to
have an opinion just like you and
I are. It has been misrepresented
to some extent, I think."
Auburn is viewed as "the"
white school by most blacks in
Alabama, he said. They have lit­tle
to relate to at Auburn other
than the athletics program, he
added. "The university is inter­ested
in providing quality educa­tion
for all citizens, black and
white."
Higgins
Martin, the Board of Trustees
and the SGA of the withdrawal.
"So far we have not heard from
any of those people," Henderson
said. The GSA is a shadow
o r g a n i z a t i o n of the SGA
designed specifically to repres­ent
graduate students. It was
established in 1969, one year
before the SGA constitution was
drawn up. The purpose of the
GSA is to try to resolve issues
important to graduate students,
said Henderson.
The main reason for the break
from the SGA was due to little or
no representation of graduate
students on major University
committees.
The goal of the GSA is to have a
seat created for a graduate stu­dent
to sit on each committee, or
at least replace an undergraduate
currently sitting on the commit­tee,
Henderson added. "Just get­ting
a grad student on some of
these committees would be wond­erful,"
he said.
"If we are separate from the
SGA our voice might be heard
and given more clout," Hender­son
said. Graduate students, who
attend and teach classes, have a
lot of problems that undergradu­ates
know nothing about, he
added.
"The Graduate School Senate
has not had a grad student in the
SGA in two years," Henderson
said. John Stein, president of the
SGA countered that statement
and said that a graduate student
was appointed to the SGA Senate
last year, but the representative
left school and has not been
replaced.
"I understand their concern
about not being represented
through the Student Senate,"
Stein said. "Some things grad
students are interested in aren't
the same as undergrad students
are interested in."
There are 1,834 graduate stu­dents
on campus.

Phone system adds lines, costs less

A $135,000 phone system is

also be cheaper.

Construction and renovation
by the Physical Plant has caught
up with Ross Square, located in
front of the Ross Chemical Build­ing
on Thach Avenue.
Donald M. Brumbelow, admin­istrator
of the Physical Plant,
said, "It is a complete renovation,
and we're going back with a new
sprinkler and irrigation system."
The main reason for beginning
the renovation, Brumbelow said,
was because of the utility project
that went through the park and
wiped out most of the foliage and
water system.
The new grass and trees have
been put in and, Brumbelow said,
the park should be finished by the
end of the week.
"Putting in irrigation systems
at existing sites such as Ross
Square, Jordan-Hare and others
saves the University approxi­mately
$155,000," Brumbelow
said.
The plant's next plan is to ren­ovate
Cater Lawn and then begin
complete renovation on Samford
Lawn from Ross Square to Col­lege

Model United Nation's representative ponders the next move for his country
By Ginny Wahlbom
News Staff
The 1986 Southeastern Invita­tional
Model United Nations
(SIMUN) came to a close last
Saturday, marking the end of
three days of intense interna­tional
debate.
"The conference was successful
in giving students who partici­pated
an excellent idea of the
problems involved in offering
solutions to world problems,"
said David Wagner, director of
SIMUN. "It also gave them a
good idea of how other people
around the world look at these
problems."
Although Auburn was the offi­cial
host of SIMUN, eight other
colleges, including Bluefield
State College and Tuskegee Insti­tute,
were present. "Approxi­mately
225 students attended the
conference," said Wagner.
Student delegations represent­ing
67 nations attempted to
resolve problems and disputes of
i n t e r n a t i o n a l concern. The
SIMUN agenda addressed many
important issues such as apar­theid,
the Middle East and
human rights.
Delegates submitted resolu­tions
to be considered in the polit­ical
and security, special politi­cal,
and economic and social
committees. Those resolutions
passed in the committees went on
to be considered in the General
Assembly while "resolutions of
sufficient strength were directed
to the Security Council," said
Henry Brown, head of the Secur­ity
Council.

Budget and Finance Committee begins hearings
c By Chris Roush
Assistant News Editor
The SGA Senate began Budget
s and Finance Committee hear­ings
under the leadership of
; chairman Tim Mitchell on Mon­day,
and research on the requests
for funding will take place until
Feb. 27.
The various organizations that
depend on funding presented
c; their requests on Monday and
^Tuesday. The Budget and
v>-Finance Committee will meet
Wednesday and today, and then
the Senate will research the
requests and call the organiza­tions
back over the next two
weeks.
SGA requested $63,789.04,
more than the $44,138 they were
allocated last year. The Univer­sity
Program Council requested
$243,944, a 10 percent increase
from the $220,815 they were allo­cated
last year.
The Glomerata was the only
project which requested a
decrease in the funds they were
allocated from last year. They
requested $117,860, a two percent
decrease from the $120,123 they
were given last year.
Recreational Services asked for
$98,000, a 14 percent increase
from the $86,300 they received
last year. Performing Arts
requested for $43,850, which is a
20 percent increase from the
$36,575 they were allocated for
1985-86.
WEGL-FM requested $38,830,
which is 62 percent more than the
$24,005 they were allocated last
year. The Tiger Cub is asking for
a 15 percent increase from the
$18,840 allocated last year and
wants $21,726.
The Circle, whose allocation in
1985-86 was $9,905, asked for
$23,302.30, an increase of 135
percent. Student Consumer
Organization asked for $5,500, a
30 percent increase.
The Plainsman submitted a
zero-budget request for the
second year in a row. The publi­cation
is being self-funded by
advertising and subscription
revenues.
If all of the requests were
approved 100 percent, then Stu­dent
Acitvity Fees Projects would
run at a deficit of $80,300. Income
a v a i l a b l e for allocation is
$576,501, and requests total
$656,801.
According to Mark Kantor,
SGA Treasurer, the main
increase in the SGA request is
due to a computer that the stu­dent
government is asking for.
The computer, which will cost
$5,100, will be used for word pro­cessing,
checks on purchase
orders, payments and assist the
treasurer in other things, said
Kantor.
Kantor added that the compu­ter
could be linked up with a dif­ferent
university and could be
linked to drop and add, which is
also being computerized.
The SGA has also asked for
$3,000 for an academic book that
would tell about classes and
teachers. This book plans to tell
about what kind of tests a teacher
gives and his pass/fail ratio.
Kantor said, "It's going to be like
a course description book."
Other increases in the SGA
budget include a University
mandated salary increase for the
secretary in the SGA office; an
extra $500 for the War Eagle V

EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS
Pay teachers first
As usual, there is not enough
money to go around in the state's
budget, so compromises and cuts are
g o i n g to have to be made
somewhere.
And again, as usual, the educa­tion
budget will suffer.
The legislature has announced
that one of two measures must be
taken this year in the education
budget because of limited money
supply—either they cannot give
teachers a pay raise or they cannot
buy new textbooks.
Obviously, either option is not
great and proponents of both
options have valid arguments.
Those who want more textbooks
argue that students cannot learn
without new books containing up-to-date
information. Those who want
higher teacher salaries say that new
books are worthless unless a quali­fied
teacher is hired to teach them.
The decision is not an easy one,
but the legislature should realize
that teachers are more important
than books. A class can conceivably
be taught without a single page of
print, but a book cannot teach child-
. ren by itself.
Alabama teachers are in desper­ate
need of salary raises. Until the
state catches up with education
salaries of other states, it will be
hard to attract more high-quality
teachers. Until Alabama can attract
more high-quality teachers, it will be
hard for the state to catch up with
other states in the quality of public
education offered.
It is a vicious cycle that must be
stopped and the only way to stop it is
to raise the teachers' salaries.
Of course, the teachers will be
responsible for taking up where old,
out-of-date textbooks leave off. But
for a highly qualified teacher, this
will be no problem at all.
Emergency number set
Hooray for the city of Auburn and
its plan to install a new $135,000
phone system.
If the new system is installed, the
benefits for the Auburn community
will be great. The most important
aspect of the new system, though, is
its compatibility for the enhanced-
911 emergency call system.
The enhanced-911 emergency
phone system is a very long name
for a very simple thing. If the city
installs the new system, a caller will
be able to report any emergency,
such as a fire, burglary or medical
emergency, by simply dialing 911 on
the phone.
What's so great about this? Well,
for one thing, dialing 911 is much
easier than flipping through a
phone book looking for the number
of the fire or police station, the
paramedics or ambulance. If you
have ever been in an emergency
situation, you know how difficult it
is to remember phone numbers, even
ones you should know by heart such
as the police or fire department.
Being able to dial 911 will alleviatt
this problem.
Also, the system provides a way to
trace calls electronically. The opera­tor
can determine where a person is
calling from, even if the caller is not
able to tell his location; or if he hangs
up for some reason.'Such a provision
makes it much easier for the rescue
units to find the place of the
emergency.
We hope the city can find a way to
finance the new phone system,
mainly because of the enhanced-911
system. Auburn is in desperate need
of such a quick and efficient way of
reporting emergencies.
Honesty code in effect
The much-talked-about, much-written-
about and much-anticipated
honesty code was finally put into
effect last week with the stroke of
-President James E. Martin's pen.
The new code has been reviewed
and revised and revised and
reviewed for the past year or so, and
since Martin signed it into law last
Monday, it is finally ready to face
the test of real honesty cases.
We congratulate the Academic
Honesty Committee, the SGA, the
University Senate and Martin for
getting the code in tip-top shape. It
took a lot of work, but the new code is
now complete and stronger than
ever, i
We hope this code, revisions and
all, will stand up to tough honesty
cases in the future. The University
has been in need of a stricter code for
some time, and now that it finally
has one let's hope it works to prevent
any more problems in academic
honesty cases.

Athletics, academics inseparable
The soul of the athletic-academic con­troversy
is whether athletes deserve pre­ferential
academic treatment including
special admission requirements, pro­grams
and course studies if necessary.
I say yes.
. Before some of you, especially those in
Haley, pole-vault to your typewriters
and besiege me with letters, put yourself
in the role of a high school athlete, who
is attempting to enter a institution like
Auburn and can't satisfy admission
standards.
But we also need to qualify this
discussion.
Many people, who tend to stereotype
athletes playing the two major college
sports (football and basketball), would
be surprised at the number of student-athletes
who easily eclipse the fan's
academic expectations of the athlete.
However, the Lionel James, Yann
Cowarts and Pat Hadens (USC and pro
quarterback and Rhode Scholar) aren't
those spawning the debate on present
propositions and counter proposals.
The Billy Sims, Tito Horfords and
Charles Barkleys are the issue athletes.
We now look to Atlanta for guidance
concerning this dispute.
There, the University of Georgia is
currently the court jester in a lawsuit
brought against the University by
• teacher Jan Kemp, who said she was
dismissed because she protested prefer­ential
handling of athletes.
The case has evolved into an indict­ment
of Georgia's policies for admitting
and teaching athletes.
Through all the 'expert' testimony by
university officials and educators, a
comment by Anthony 'Amp' Arnold,
1980 national champion Bulldog start­ing
flanker, hit the thesis statement of
the argument in my opinion.
"If you go to college and spend two or
three years, you'll find that even though
you may not walk away with a piece of
paper, that's an education in itself. I was
educated for life."
A high school senior, who ordinarily
wouldn't be granted an opportunity to
live the college experience, is deprived
an education in life by those who either
seek to separate academics from athlet­ics
suggesting college sports is an enter­tainment
business and participants
shouldn't be expected to master class­room
skills, or by those who determine
academically inferior players be denied
a chance at higher education.
Some recruits might also hail from,
say, the poorest regions of the Black Belt
area in West Alabama, where their
teachers might couldn't surpass a 20 on
the ACT. How can you realistically
expect the high school graduate to score
an 18 or 19?
Let the scholarship player attend col
lege via athletics, which is unfortu
nately the sole vehicle by which many
would see campuses in Athens, Aut) u rn
and Starkville.
It's easy and effortless for someone
who attended an academically rich pub­lic
or private school to say, "I can't
believe he couldn't even make a 18 on the
ACT."
The total environment consisting of
the home, school and peer pressure was
likely not conducive to academic excel­lence
and to penalize those recruits
wouldn't be just.
Okay, we allow an athlete who scores
a 14 or 15 on his ACT to enroll. What's
the next step?
Studies with full-time professors
should be mandated for the academi­cally
troubled athlete. Redshirt years for
academic ills should also be imple­mented
as red-shirt rules presently
reward years of eligibility for the
injured.
After, and only after, ACT-like exams
and or freshman courses are approp­riately
passed can the student-athlete
become eligible to compete. The process
is described to the prospective college
player before he accepts his scholarship.
The lessons of dedication, discipline
and accomplishment are merits of colle­giate
athletics to those who participate,
the school's students and alumni.
The suggestion that the revenue pro­ducing
college sports be separated from
college academics and be arranged as a
quasi-entertainment business is absurd.
College athletics offers a healthy and
controlled alternative to thousands who
would otherwise never fan/'—i- the

"Miss Best, Miss Best... could you tell
us the answer to number eighteen
please?... Miss Best, the question is in
chapter seven... Miss Best, not the pur­chasing
book, the management book..."
Somewhere in the midst of the gray
fog floating around in my brain, I real­ized
that I was, indeed, in cjass and that
everyone was watching closely to see if
the elbow my head was propped on,
would give way and send me flounder­ing
wildly in mid-air.
I am suffering the mid-term-no sleep
syndrome. Along with two-thirds of the
people in all of my classes. Actually, the
smart no-sleep syndrome sufferers have
decided to spare themselves the embar­rassment
of falling out of their seats and
just don't come to class at all. I, however,
have some strange notion that if I just go
to class; I might be able to retain just a
little of the information that penetrates
my head, even in this brainless state.
I used to think it was great fun to
watch those people who were always fal­ling
asleep in class. Why, some people
, can sit straight up with their eyes semi-closed
and still be asleep. However,
should you ask that person if he or she
had a nice nap, you will more than likely
receive a vicious stare followed by, "I
wasn't asleep, thank you!" Then there
are those sleepers who do weird things
while they sleep, like twitch and jerk
their heads swiftly. I've seen some
twitchers and jerkers that almost
twitched or jerked themselves into a
state of whiplash. The best classroom
sleepers are those who snore. Actually,
there's no better way to liven up a boring
lecture than sawing logs on high speed.
I used to try and get at least six or
seven hours of sleep each night, but with
mid-terms, projects, and various other
activities going on, I don't seem to get
more than four, maybe five. I've gotten
to where I really hate my alarm clock
and one of my roommates. I hate the
clock because instead of gently waking
me up, it blasts^off in my left ear at 6:30
every day. I hate my roommate, Melody,
because she doesn't have class until 10
each morning; therefore, she doesn't get
up until around nine-ish. We don't even
get to fight for the bathroom in the early
a.m. any more.
I can always tell the days that I drifted
in and out of consciousness during class.
My notes start out relatively legible but
disintegrate to a bunch of jibberish
about half-way down the page. It is
embarrassing to have to go to the
teacher's office and ask him what he
discussed in class while you slept.
It is even more embarrassing to get to
class only to discover that in a foggy
stupor, you concealed the dark circles
under your eyes with red lipstick instead
of coverstick. Don't laugh, I've done that
recently.
I suppose the cure for the mid-term-no
sleep syndrome would be to get to bed
earlier each night, or at least that is
what Melody, the ten o'clock classer,
says. However, a better idea would be to
have a National Sleep Week, sometime
next week would be nice. University
officials would have to honor this sacred
week by moving all classes back at least
two hours each day that week. Is that a
good idea or what?
Since I can't think of a good way to
end this column you mid-term-no-sleep
syndrome sufferers can just doze on
through, and for those of you awake
people...end it yourself. I've got to go get
some sleep.

Even Khadafy has artistic talents
Shannon
ADCOCK JP *%
v<-
Go for the gusto. Relish life. Give it
some zest.
I sat at my computer at 3 in the morn­ing
unable to find a topic that struck me
as a worthwhile column. Finally, in des­peration,
I decided to open my trusty
thesaurus to the first page I found and
pick the first word I saw.
The first word I saw was gusto.
Synonyms-delight, enthusiasm plea­sure,
enjoyment, relish, zest. mRd I sat
thinking for a long time about what you
can say about gusto.
I didn't want to say anything about
beer because beer comes next on my list
of most awful tastes after dirt, coffee and
beets. So I looked up gusto in the dic­tionary.
Besides the synonyms already
mentioned, I found an archaic definition
meaning artistic style. <
And I liked that.
I liked it because as a writer, I consider
myself an artist with the written word.
And a written style is something I have
sought to attain all my life. But what
, about another style that is often forgot­ten?
The individual style that each per­son
creates, like a artist, to fit their needs
and personality.
Everybody has individual style. Even
the most boring person has style. Some­times
you have to look long and hard for
it, but it is usually there, hidden behind
the pocket calculator hanging from a
belt, or in the mass of uncombed,
unevenly-cut punk hair, or in the home­liest
face. Do you always look for it?(
I admit, I don't. But eventually, after I
have spent a whole quarter thinking
that the superbrain/nerd in my class is
dull, I get stuck with him for a group
project. Great, I say, he can do all the
work. But then, somehow, I begin to real­ize
that he actually has a nice personal­ity
and we share common interests.
Throw out one pre-conceived notion.
Why don't I just throw out all my pre­conceived
ideas while I'm cleaning my
brain of junk.
I had a lot of those ideas when I first
came to school. Like Mom said, people
with funny-colored hair do drugs and
are stupid, and ugly people aren't worth
associating with. Well, all funny-colored
hair people don't do drugs and most
have brains. As for ugly people, once you
get to know them, who notices looks?
Come to think of it, what do people think
about me?
But back to artistic style. Everybody
has it. It makes the world go around. It
makes life interesting and full of gusto,
enjoyment and zest.
I guess now I understand how the
modern term of gusto came from an
archaic term meaning artistic style. You
learn something new and valuable every
day.
What if everybody could learn some­thing
new and valuable? Maybe eve­ryone
could learn that differences in
appearance or beliefs don't mean you
can't get along. Just because a person is
a little darker-skinned or believes in a
different god doesn't mean you can't be
friends. And it doesn't mean that you
have to make them like you in appear­ance
or beliefs. You could just accept
them the way they are and learn why
they have developed their own artistic
style that they call their life.
Who knows? It just might be
interesting.
Nah, why bother? It's a lot better to
just dislike them. You might even make
their life miserable, right Khadafy?

Expansion should give
students deserved seats
The stadium expansion, in case you've
been in a coma for the last month, is well
under way, but what will this really
accomplish?
When the 10,000 seat addition is fin­ished,
the stadium will hold approxi­mately
85,000 seats. This will make
Jordan-Hare Stadium the biggest sta­dium
in the state.
But why aren't the added seats going
to the people who need them the most,
the students? If there were no students,
there would be no college, no stadium,
nothing. Students are the basis for ever­ything,
so why aren't the students get­ting
seats that they need more than
anybody?
What the students realize, but the
University obviously ignores, is that for
them to get a seat the average student
has to show up at least one hour before
kickoff. Approximately 750 students
have to stand up every game in the
aisles. We want, no, make that need,
those new seats. Shouldn't an increase
in enrollment warrant an increase in
seats?
Hasn't anybody realized what the
stadium expansion is for? The Tigers
want to play Alabama in Auburn, not in
Birmingham. A stadium bigger than
Legion Field is great leverage.
But the only time the stadium will
have a capacity crowd is for the Bama
game. Okay, maybe Georgia and Flor­ida
will sell out too, but our 1987 sche­dule,
the first year in which the stadium
will be complete, also includes home
games with Chattanooga, Kansas,
Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, and FSU.
In 1988 the Tigers play Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, FSU and
Southern Mississippi at home. Now how
many of these games will sell out? The
stadium as it is now looked empty in the
end zone for some games last year, but
remember those weren't student seats.
And where is all the money coming
from for this expansion? The Board of
Trustees have used a term for some of
the money, something like "arrived,
revenue." Sounds vague to me. What
they're trying to say is that the bond
issue is supported by student fees. I get it
now, we help pay for the stadium, but
sorry, no extra seats. This money is sup­posed
to be used to offset the cost of dis­counted
prices on student, faculty and
staff tickets.
And what about those bonds? I heard
some rumor last week that President
Martin was having trouble selling those
$30 million in bonds. Sounds like every­thing
isn't so peachy keen with our
beloved stadium expansion.
But hey, for $24,000 a year, you too can
lease a luxury suite to watch the home
games. You say, what do I get for this
money? Try catered meals, private
lounges, bathrooms (not your ordinary
Jordan-Hare facilities either), kitchens,
bars, heating and air-conditioning, and
a closed-circuit television, which
includes instant replays and an exclu­sive
interview with Pat Dye in the dress­ing
room after the game.
A. bar, you say? Let's figure this one
out. Students get stopped on Saturday at
the gate and in the stands if they have
liquor, but if you worm your way into a
luxury box, you drink to your heart's
content, even on Friday night. Will these
people get stopped when their supply of
refreshments is brought in? They can
get around this by saying you can bring
in your supplies on Friday, but the same
rules apply to everyone on Saturday.
I know where my seat is on Friday.
Can I bring my bottle in to the stadium
and put it under my seat for safe-keeping
until kickoff? But you all know it's
Auburn University, a school of fine arts,
social sciences and hypocrisy.
Who buys these beauties you say?
Why, 70 percent have been bought by
corporations that are friends of Auburn.
I bet it would be interesting to see a study
of how many of these corporations have
contracts with the University, but the
Alumni Association has a policy that
prevents disclosing the names of the
corporations and private people who are
leasing the boxes.
Can't you just see the University
bringing some pressure down on these
companies? No box, no contract. It's as
simple as that.
I won't even begin on the President's
66-seater and the Board of Trustees 48-
seater, but congratulations to trustees
Morris Savage and John Denson for vot­ing
against the expansion.
The expansion, on paper, seems to be a
good idea. But in the real world, where
football attendance has gone down due
to the glut of televised games, are the
seats really needed? Why doesn't the
University get wise and add the seats to'
the'people who' need "and deserve them*
the most, the students? >j

Stepsaphobia common disease
among student elevator riders
I would like to take a little bit of your
time to introduce you to a "disease" that
has probably run rampant on this cam­pus
for as long as there have been
elevators.
The "disease" is not isolated to any
one particular race, religion, age or
dexterity.
From my own personal studies, I have
found that it can strike anytime and
without warning, but once it has
attacked, it is virtually impossible to
cure.
I describe, of course, stepsaphobia.
Stepsaphobia is the fear of walking up
and/or down the steps, and I have found
that this fear is mainly contained in
Haley Center's stairways.
I have run across this phobia many
times since coming to Auburn in the
summer of '84 but had not isolated it as a
problem until recently.
I didn't even realize it was problem
until I noticed a rather obscure and often
ignored sign on Haley Center's elevator
shaft which states, "Please use the stairs
if going from first to third floors."
The problem hadn't ever really
bothered me until Tuesday, Feb. 4,1986.
It is on this day that I am required to
register for spring quarter in my chosen
major of journalism.
Life being as it is, the journalism
department is located on the eighth floor
of Haley Center; a definite nightmare to
a person who is not in the best of shape
and must get to the eighth floor in
between classes.
I began the wait for an elevator on the
first floor with about five others, and the
wait had been going on approximately
five minutes when at last the bell
"dinged", and we stepped on.
I pressed the appropriate button and
watched as the other people rushed on
with only a few appendages being
caught in the doors that shut almost
immediately.
One person pressed five, another six
and so on, until, almost like in a dream,
one of the people pressed two.
After all, in the five minutes he spent
waiting for the elevator, he could have
taken the stairs and arrived at his desti­nation
probably before the elevator.
But what was the problem? Was he
afraid of an allergic reaction to his pers­piration?
Was he scared he might over­work
his legs? What was it? It was defi­nitely
hot because he was L-A-Z-Y.
It was not this small incident that
incited me to write this; it was the fact
that this same scenario happened on the
way back to the first floor and has taken
place many times since then.
This may seem like a trivial and picky
thing, but when one sees a perfectly
healthy, young human take the elevator
from one floor to the very next; it just
wants to make one get violent.
There is, by the way, a probable cure
for stepsaphobia; it's called courtesy.

Neglect of education bothers student
Editor, The Plainsman:
Education funding has been cut dras­tically
this year, but what else should we
expect? An old saying goes, "A poorly
read voter is an ignorant voter." That
could be read as a poorly educated voter
is an ignorant voter.
Our governor and state Legislature, in
their recent budget, have only perpetu­ated
the idea. With this move they have
mortgaged Alabama's future.
I have seen numerous ads about the
windfalls trust fund that insures Ala­bama's
future. If it is for Alabama, why
is it not held in Alabama but in other
states, where it could be used by Ala-bamians
or even to use part of it as a
supplement for Alabama's education
systems.
These ads also omit that last year
there was a surplus of money but it is
gone now, and what do we of Alabama
really have to show for it. Very little, I'm
sure.
As a matter of fact, what do we have to
show for the past 30 years? We are basi­cally
holding our own in 48th or 49th
place, and making no upward
movement.
Alabama's neglect of its education
system haunts them, and if its present
attitudes hold true, the ghost is not fad­ing
away. Poor education of a popula­tion
can surely be linked to a poor
population.
We hope we are at the twilight of the
Wallace dynasty, a dynasty spread over
three decades. For the past 20 years, we
have voted for no change. The time is at
hand for something new.
In this upcoming gubernatorial race,
let's have a changing of the guard. Let's
elect someone with new and brighter
ideas, not some crony who tells you what
position he has held for Gov. Wallace
and delivers the same tired ideas in a
different form.
If we are to grow as a state, we need to
abandon our post-civil war reconstruc­tion
attitude about politics. Stop voting
by party alone, but by the candidate
himself and his ideas. The same applies
to all our elected officials.
Alabama's future is education, in the
schools and in the use of our vote. Our
vote can determine the extent of educa­tion's
upward climb. Let's prevent a
further slide.

Abortion aids 'reasonable' reproduction
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am addressing Rob Harrell, author
of last week's letter "Men and Women
Responsible for Abortions," and any
others in the anti-abortion rights
movement who would try to present the
issue of abortion rights as simply a mat­ter
of right, allowing all pregnancies to
continue, versus wrong, killing innocent
"babies" in the womb. Many of his
statements are misleading; others are
simply wrong.
For these women, and the men
involved, there would be far more "hel­lish
guilt" from having a baby they are
not prepared to properly provide for,
both physically and emotionally, than
from terminating an unwanted
pregnancy.
As for the physical danger, statistics
show that carrying a pregnancy to full
term is a much greater physical danger
to a woman than a legal abortion is.
As for Han-ell's description of an abor­tion
where the "baby was mutilated and
sucked from the womb," it is irresponsi­ble
to use such emotional hysterics in
describing a relatively simple surgical
procedure in which the embryo or young
fetus is removed.
If the product of human conception is
automatically a "baby," then an egg is
automatically a chicken and a set of
blueprints and a pile of building mate­rials
are automatically a house.
Harrell's big mistake, however, was to
present himself as an expert on popula­tion
matters, even to the point of quoting
sources for his "data" and conclusions,
which are simply wrong.
He asserts that because the birthrate
in the U.S. is now below replacement
reproduction rate, couples are having
fewer children than are needed to
replace themselves, the "American pop­ulation
is declining."
This is true only in a population that
has already reached stability, like
Sweden. In a growing population like
ours, momentum continues to swell the
number of people long after replacement
reproduction has been reached. Ameri­cans
are not having more babies, there
are simply more Americans having
babies. -
Thus, population grows. In fact, the
American population is growing faster
(0.7 percent per year) than that of any
other highly industrialized nation and
will double in 100 years at this rate.
Our population probably will not
become stable until the decade 2030-
'2040, at which time we will number over
300 million (up from 240 million today).
And this ignores immigration, which, as
Harrell correctly points out, will equal
the growth caused by natural increase.
Like it or not, abortion is one of the
most widely used methods of birth con­trol
in the world. Most of the world's
people are malnourished today, and it's
difficult to see the "good" in forcing the
birth of millions more unwanted babies
in a world already unable to provide
basic necessities for all humans.
Food production cannot keep up with
a world population doubling every 41
years. The goal of Harrell and other anti-abortionists
would seem to be to maxim­ize
the number of people on this plant. I
hope they realize that to do so will min­imize
the quality of life for this and
future generations.
Harrell concludes his arguments
against abortion by stating that
"society exists to serve mankind, includ­ing
the unborn." I agree. It is therefore
our obligation to limit our reproduction
to reasonable levels by all available
methods, including abortion where
prevention has failed, so that unborn
generations may live in a world that has
not been degraded and depleted of
resources by their selfish and shortsigh­ted
ancestors.

Ecstasy story alarms pharmacy professors
Editor, The Plainsman:
, We were alarmed by the casual
manner m \vhich u.se of the sfeeet.drug
"r'Ecsta8yr' was aescrib'ed by Chris Roush
In his Auburn Plainsman article of Jan.
30 (Ecstasy termed LSD of the '80s by
drug users).'
The illegality of Ecstasy should be a
matter of concern to all potential users.
Of equal or greater concern, however,
are the possibilities of: (1) psychological
dependence, (2) adverse effects resulting
from prolonged use and (3) toxicity asso­ciated
with exposure to chemical impuri­ties
generated during synthesis of the
drug. None of these possibilities were
addressed in the article.
The National Institute on Drug
Abuse, which considers Ecstasy a
health threat, asserts that at least some
Ecstasy users can experience problems
similar to regular users of cocaine or
amphetamines, particularly psycholog­ical
difficulties such as confusion,
depression, drug craving, severe anx­iety
and paranoia.
The problems apparently can persist
for weeks after the drug is discontinued.
Moreover, there is evidence that Ecstasy
is toxic to certain nerve cells, including
nerve cells in the brain.
In this age of "designer drugs,"
anyone who trustingly ingests an
unknown substance, acting on the assu­rances
of individuals like Ernie, Fred,
and Chip, (all of whom were quoted in
Roush'B artiele), is taking a truly fearful
risk. The sto?y0of MPPP, a prototypical
designer drug, illustrates the nature of
the risk.
In 1982, a batch of an illicit drug pro­moted
as MPPP or synthetic heroin was
sold on the street in areas near San Jose,
Calif. Unfortunately, the underground
chemist who synthesized the material
carried out the chemical reaction under
improper conditions, so the MPPP was
mixed with a substantial quantity of
MPTP, a related and extremely toxic
contaminant.
Several individuals who repeatedly
indulged in this product were eventually
rendered completely immobile, to the
extent they were incapable of communi­cation
and would have starved to death
had they not been discovered by friends
or relatives. The side effect, a conse­quence
of the selective destruction of
nerve cells, proved to be irreversible and
so similar to advanced Parkinson's Dis­ease
the MPTP is now used in animal
models in an attempt to better under­stand
the development of Parkinson's
Disease in humans.
The moral of the story: recreational
users of illicit drugs need to recognize
that they are placing themselves at the
mercy of manufacturers and middlemen
who are considerably more concerned
about profit margins than quality
control.
Of. course,, Fred,. Ernie and Chip, if
they bother reading this letter at all,
have probably already dismissed us as
being hopelessly old-fashioned. As
members of the '60s generation, we have
encountered such attitudes in the past
from users of synthetic street drugs like
LSDandPCP.
It is interesting to note, however, that
the hazards of these drugs, also initially
characterized as harmless, are now suf­ficiently
well-documented that they are
much less popular.
In closing, we are optimistic that the
majority of Auburn students will avoid
the use of all street drugs, not because
"...Auburn is a close-minded (sic) con­servative
school that's behind the
times," as stated by Fred, but because
most Auburn students are too intelligent
and perceptive to endanger their health
on the basis of sophomoric endorse­ments
like those offered in the Ecstasy
article.

thanks students for
help during break
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am a staff member of the Appalachia
Service Project in Jones ville, Va. ASP is
a home repair ministry for economically
deprived families.
Last Dec. 18-21 a group of 10 people
representing the Auburn University
Wesley Foundation participated in a
work camp with ASP.
This group of Auburn students made
an inspirational statement to all of us
through the love and care they gave to a
family.
The students had participated in the
Wesley Foundation Choir tour and after
the tour came to Jonesville and worked
three days of their Christmas break.
The weather was in the teens on two of
the three days and six inches of snow on
the last. They built a porch, insulated
the house, closed in the gables, put sub-flooring
down, dug ditches, moved rock
and completed a tremendous amount in
a short period of time.
Friday afternoon we all sang Christ­mas
carols to the family. That evening
we closed with a worship service.
It was a privilege for me to get to know
each person that participated. The love
and dedication to service shown by this
group of Wesley Foundation students is
an excellent reflection on Auburn
University.

Parking below stadium stands answer
Editor, The Plainsman: .
Like most every person, faculty, staff, or
student who is now working at or attend­ing
Auburn, I am most concerned about
the parking problem.
I am in fact angry about this situation.
It seems to me that much of the problem
has been caused by the expansion of the
stadium and that is the responsibility of
the athletic department. It seems, there­fore,
that the athletic department should
certainly do all that it can to help the
situation.
It is with this thought in mind that I
make a proposal for a partial solution.
Why not open one or more gates to the
lower part of the North stands of the
stadium and permit cars to be parked
there.
It might require that an attendant be
stationed there to make sure that the
cars do not park in areas which might be
damaged, but there is enough room
under the North stands to park one or
perhaps two rows of cars for the entire
length of the stands.
There may also be some additional
space under, the East and West end
zones. I know that vehicles are brought
into all of these areas during the football
games, so what I am suggesting is not
impossible and might very well provide
enough spaces to make up for the
number that we lost when our parking
area was seized.

What do you think?
Who would you vote
for governor of Ala­bama
and why?
Randy Logan; 03 GFL-PO
George McMillan, because he's
Republican. Alabama has tradi­tionally
been Democratic, but
now it's turning to the Republi­can
side. It's time for a new
change.
Tommy Lanier; 04 GSC
I'd vote for George McMillan.
He graduated from Auburn. He's
got more sound policy even
though he slipped with his educa­tional
thing. I think he's sincere
about running for governor.
Mike Hale; 03 PB
I'd vote for Fob James because
he went to Auburn. I really think
it's a non-choice.
Audrey Perine; 03 CE
Probably Graddick. I'm from
Mobile, and he's a prominent
person there. He's done a lot for
Mobile so I think he'd be a good
governor.

Black history month observed
By Salatheia Bryant
Features Staff
The Black Student Action
Committee, Greek organizations,
musicians, singers and dancers
from the black student popula­tion
at Auburn are gearing up for
the last two weeks of February.
These organizations and stu­dents
are preparing for black his­tory
month. This is the 10th year
that the nation has given a
month of recognition to the
accomplishments and contribu­tions
that Afro-Americans have
given to the world.
BSAC Chairman Audrey
Sharpe said the month of Febru­ary
should have some impor­tance
to all students on campus
because "black history month is a
time for reflection on our past,
present and future. Because we
all make up America, I feel that it
is a necessity for us all to be
aware of the contributions of
other racial and ethnic groups."
Some of the events planned for
this month include radio profiles
on black Americans, past and
present, who have given their
talents to make a difference in the
lives of other black Americans.
These profiles are scheduled to .
air on local and area radio sta­tions,
including WEGL and Y102
in Montogomery.
"When scheduling these
events, our main objective was to
present something that would be
worthwhile to the students and,
community, resulting in positive
awareness and unity throughout
the entire campus and city,"
Sharpe said.
The group has also sponsored a
student participation program
that will include the talents of the
Gospel Choir, black greeks and
other black organizations and
students. Monologues, interper-tation
of poetry, dance rountines
and skits are some of the sche­duled
entertainment with each
having a black cultural empha­sis.
Sharpe said the athletic
department will also take part in
the program, "I felt that since it
was winter quarter that it would
be an excellent opportunity to
have the athletes participating in
black history month because
they are viewed as campus
leaders."
BSAC will also bring speaker
Patricia Russell-McCloud to the
campus. Russell-McCloud is a
graduate of Kentucky State Uni­versity
.
"Since I have heard Ms.
McCloud speak, I know she will
ignite a desire in both white and
black students to have a new atti­tude
about things on campus,"
Sharpe said, adding in Russell-
McCloud's own words, "I hope
she leaves us with a if not you,
who? If not now, when? attitude
so we can begin to work on
change at the university."
"I hope these events will help
us to realize that we have to take
a strong, long look into our past
before we can ever consider going
forth into the furture/'said
Sharpe.
The student participation pro­gram
will be held Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
in the Foy Union Ballroom.
Admission will be two old tests,
quizzes or labs or 50 cents. The
speaker will also be in the Foy
Union Ballroom on Feb. 19 at 7:30
p.m. with no admission cost.

Bailey tries to solve problems with progress
By Earl Thaxton
News Staff
As secretary /treasurer of the
NCAA, Wilford S. Bailey is close
to the problems and progress of
the association. "I'm convinced
progress is being made in the
NCAA, and having an influence
on that is quite a challenge," he
said.
Bailey, a former president of
Auburn University and a self-proclaimed
workaholic, has
served as secretary/treasurer of
the NCAA since January 1985.
He said he is enjoying his role
despite his hectic schedule. "The
demands on my time and energy
are more stressful at my age,"
Bailey said.
His jobs requires him to be out
of town up to one-half of the time
"representing the NCAA in one
way or another," he said.
For example, he went to NCAA
meetings in Dallas on Feb. 4, was
back in Auburn the next day and
left Wednesday for Louisiana
State University. He will return
to Dallas March 3, fly back to
Atlanta March 4 and arrive in
Lexington, Ky. for the SEC men's
basketball tournament March 5.
And "between now and then, I
have an NCAA research commit­tee
meeting in Atlanta," he said.
His trip to Dallas on Feb. 4 con­cerned
the revision of the NCAA
rules manual. This, he said, is
"one of the most difficult tasks
I've ever undertaken." The revi­sion
process will continue until
early 1987-
How did a former university
president become secretary/-
treasurer of the NCAA? He began
as chairman of Auburn's com­mittee
on intercollegiate athlet­ics,
moved on to be secretary of
the SEC, served two years on the
NCAA council and was.elected
secretary/treasurer of the asso­ciation
at the annual convention
in 1985.
Having a large influence on the
policy-making body of the
NCAA, Bailey is well aware of
the recent problems, such as
recruiting violations and drug
abuse that have received so much
attention. He said there is an
"increased awareness of the
problems by both the NCAA and

Local fireman implicated
in Auburn auto-theft ring
By Stephanie Hunt
Assistant News Editor
An Auburn fireman has been
arrested and charged with receiv­ing
stolen property in connection
with three Volkswagons stolen
from campus over the last two
years, according to University
Police Chief Jack Walton.
Gary Lathan Jones is currently
being held in the Auburn city jail
and faces a fine of up to $10,000
and imprisonment of two to 20
years, according to Walton.
"The cars were confiscated
from the individual, who had
some in his possession and had
resold some," said Walton.
According to Walton, the cars
were stolen in order to be resold.
"They were altered and their
serial numbers changed," he
said. "Once we found one of them,
it was like the domino effect to
find the rest."
Walton said the cars were reco­vered
during the "last three
months; the last one was reco­vered
on Feb. 4.
"The stolen vehicles were
either turned over to the owners
or the insurance companies," he
said. "But I think one of them is
still impounded."
Local and state law enforce­ment
agencies investigated a
total of 18 Volkswagons stolen
during the same period from Lee
County, said Walton, who would
not comment on any further
charges lodged against Jones by
other agencies in connection with
the thefts.
"I can only comment on what
we (University Police) have
charged him with," he said.
The other agencies involved in
the investigation were the
Auburn Police Department, the
Opelika Police Department, the
Lee County Sheriffs Department
and the Alabama Bureau of
Investigation, he said.
from nude models. These figure
drawing classes are designed to
teach the student how to draw
skeletal and muscular parts of
the body, said Mark Price, asso­ciate
professor of art and a figure
drawing instructor.
The female models in the
classes are totally nude and the
male models wear a bathing suit
or athletic supporter. Price said
that a committee of art professors
made the decision about partially
covered males two years ago.
Using a live model gives the
students experience drawing the
human figure in a variety of
poses, Price said. "We are
strongly into illustration at
Auburn. Our students must know
what goes on beneath the clothes
to be prepared for an art career,"
Price said.
Student reaction to the nudes is
not usually one of shock or sur­prise.
"I think there is some sort
of peer pressure not to display
surprise," Price said.
Not all of the models are stu­dents,
but the job is listed with
Student Employment Services.
Cortez Moore, who has been
modeling for 18 months, specifi­cally
requested this position from
student employment. Moore is
putting himself through school,
and the job pays $5 per hour,
more than any other job availa­ble
from employment services.
Moore said that he would still
keep his job even if he could not
be partially clothed. "The south­ern
conservative attitude is the
reason why I wear anything at
all. I don't think it's fair, and I
don't really, understand why I
can wear some clothes when the
females can't," Moore said.
The job requires that the model
stand still in each pose. Moore
said that the job comes easy to
him, but admits that there are
days when he would rather be
other places. When this happens,
he usually tries to remove himself
from the situation by meditation.
"It would be much nicer and
would make my job easier if the
heater worked in Biggin Hall,"
Moore added.
Most students agree that it
takes a while for them to become
comfortable with drawing a nude
figure. Andrew Cost, 03 VAT,
said that it took him about three
weeks before he felt comfortable
in the class. "The teacher doesn't
wait for you to get comfortable.
You are expected to draw from a
nude figure on the first day of
class. If you want a good grade,
you have to make yourself
adjust." Cost said.
Tammy Johnson, 03 VAT,
said, "On the first day of class
with a nude model, your natural
reaction is to laugh, but most stu­dents
restrain themselves. After
a couple of weeks, you are concen­trating
on how to draw the
human figure rather than who
that figure is."

the public." And he urged that
college presidents, athletic direc­tors
and faculty members have
positive attitudes toward
addressing the problems.
He further indicated that
media attention to the problems
has grown. He said it is the
nature of humans to "dwell on the
negative."
Bailey said he fully supports
Proposition 48, an NCAA rule
passed in 1983 to take effect this
fall. It will require freshmen to
have an ACT score of 13 or an
SAT score of 660 along with a
high school GPA of at least 2.2 to
be eligible to compete in intercol­legiate
athletics as a freshman in
1986-87. Beginning in 1988-89, the
requirements will be an ACT of
15, SAT of 700 and GPA of 2.0 or
more.
He said this will "result in a
reduction in marginally prepared
students," and there will be a
more marked decrease in black
students.
Bailey said he, along with "a
great majority of coaches and
faculty," would like to see ath­letes
eventually be required to
meet the same standards as other
students.
However, he said, he is reluc­tant
to set a time period for impli­cation
of these standards until
"we improve the quality of educa­tion
from elementary school
through high school."
Bailey
He said that institutions such
as Auburn should consider
things other than just academic
preparation when recruiting stu­dents,
but it is "grossly unwise to
admit large numbers of students
who are not prepared to make
satisfactory progress toward a
degree."
Bailey said he would like to
encourage prospective college
athletes to prepare their minds
for a "lifetime of education."
Bailey, who will serve as secre­tary/
treasurer until January
1987, said he will enjoy the chal­lenge.
As for taking time to relax,
well, that's another story.

Feb. 21
is reserved
for E-Day
The College of Engineering
will host E-Day 1986, an event
that showcases the University's
wide-ranging opportunities for
study in engineering curricula,
Friday, Feb. 21.
Designed to appeal to high
school and junior college stu­dents,
University officials expect
that more than a thousand
teachers, counselors and stu­dents
will attend. The special
focus for this year's E-Day cele­bration
is civil engineering.
Exhibits detailing scholarship
opportunities in aerospace,
chemical, electrical, mechanical,
materials, textile engineering
and computer science will be
featured.
"The whole focus of this pro­gram
is to give college-bound
students some idea of what to
expect in the area of engineering
at Auburn, both in the breadth of
the program, and in the ways
necessary to prepare for any of
these areas," said Charles Grif­fin,
director of student services.
"One thing we expect E-Day to
do for students is to reinforce
their commitment to the study of
math and science, because these
are the tools that an engineer
uses every day."
"This is a fun day, not only for
our guests, but for our students as
well. We hold several contests
that the students participate in,
such as the egg drop from Haley
Center.
"This is where students build a
shock-proof enclosure for the
eggs, which are dropped from
successively higher elevations.
The students use a standard kit
that contains some rubber bands,
a coat hanger, and a couple of
other pieces of material. There
are other contests as well, and
they have their serious side in

valuable medical experience. After graduation, you will serve three or more
years, the length depending on the requirements of the Service selected and
years of scholarship assistance received.
As an Armed Forces physician you'll receive officer's pay and benefits, and
enjoy the advantages of working regular hours. You'll also see a diversity of

Fair highlights 20 countries
By Carol Callahan
Features Staff
If you missed the World's Fair
...when it was in New Orleans, you
can go to one right here at
Auburn University.
Though on quite a smaller
scale, Auburn's World Fair offers
the same insight into other coun­tries
as the real World's Fair does.
The World's Fair, held today
from 3-7 in the Foy Union Bal­lroom,
is a day in which interna­tional
students at Auburn set up
displays about their native coun­tries.
Admission is free.
The idea for the World's Fair
originated from the Office of Spe­cial
Programs on campus. Deb
Liddell, coordinator of Special
Programs, organized this event
especially for the foreign stu­dents.
"I think international stu-
.dents are rich—culturally," she
said. "They wanted to share their
homeland and culture with other
students, and it's good for Ameri­can
students to be exposed to
other cultures."
Thus the idea for the World's
Fair was born, with the first
event held last year. It was spon­sored
by the Special Programs
Office, the Student Government
Association's International Stu­dent
Affairs Committee and the
Auburn Lion's Club, More than
500 students toured last year's
fair but this year's is hoping to
attract 2,000 visitors.
Harold Melton, co-director of
the SGA International Student
Affairs Committee, said the fair
is offered to bring attention to
foreign students. "It gives them a
chance to show off their coun­tries,
to show what they know
best—their native cultures."
More than 20 different coun­tries
will be displayed, including
France, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Egypt, Russia, Spain, Germany,
Italy, China, Germany, Brazil,
Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, Aus­tria
and Korea.
Featured on the displays will
be posters, brochures, slide
shows, native costumes, arts and
crafts and authentic food from
each country. The crafts can be
purchased and the food can be
sampled at low prices.
Some booths will give visitors a
glimpse into their culture by sing­ing
songs in their native lan­guage
or performing folk dances.
Each display allows the viewer
to take a small trip into the coun­try,
see its famous sights and
landscapes, buy from its market­place,
talk to its people and taste
its unique food.
Luz Maria Sebillon, a sopho­more
from Honduras, brought
back many goods from her home­land
after the Christmas break.
Some of the crafts she will feature
on the Honduran display for sale
include woodwork, intricately
carved hot plates and leather
goods.
Sebillon thinks the fair is a
good idea because "not many
people have left the U.S. ana
don't know much about other
countries. Learning about other
cultures enriches their knowl­edge
and can broaden their views
about many issues, such as Rea­gan's
stand on foreign affairs."
Armando Ortega Bravo, a
graduate student from Mexico,
agrees that the fair is a good idea.
"It is a convenient way to show
off everyone," he said. Bravo said
the food at the Mexican display
will be "toned down because real
authentic Mexican food is too hot
for most people." Tortillas, sau­ces,
beans and cheeses will be
available for tasting along with a
Mexican dessert made of rice,
raisins and milk, which Bravo
said is "delightful to the mouth
and eyes."
Adding to the spirit of the fair,
War Eagle Cafeteria will be feat­uring
an international menu.
Some of the different entrees
served will include a Mexican
dish and a Chinese dinner.
Abdullah Rahim Abdul, a
graduate student from Malaysia,
said he hopes the fair will get stu­dents
interested in other coun­tries.
"I hope it makes them ask
where this place is and learn
something about it. When they
leave the fair, I hope they will
remember there's other people,
other cultures out there."

Tenure and Promotion-
A Faculty Responsibility
On February 18, the University Senate will consider a proposal to
restructure the Univesity's Tenure and Promotion Committee, now
composed of six tenured professors from different disciplines and
chaired by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, as follows:
9 faculty members
The Vice President for Academic Affairs
The Vice President for Research
The Vice President for Extension
The Dean of the Graduate School
While nine faculty members can, in theory, outvote four adminis­trators;
the presence of four senior officers of the University must
necessarily affect the deliberations of a committee far beyond their
mere numerical strength. In this case of crucial importance to every
faculty member, the presence of four administrators would violate the
fundamental principle of peer evaluation to such an extent as to
render it meaningless.
The Auburn Chapter of the American Association of University
Professors urges each faculty member to give the following resolution
careful consideration and to communicate your opinion to your Sena­tor,
who will be asked to vote on it, and the proposed new composition
of the Tenure and Promotion Committee on February 18.
Resolution on the Composition of the
Tenure and Promotion Committee
Submitted by the Auburn Chapter, AAUP
Whereas the evaluation and recommendation of col­leagues
for tenured and promotion is a faculty responsibil­ity;
and
Whereas the Hobbs Committee Report now before the
Senate calls for a Tenure and Promotion Committee of
nine faculty members plus the Dean of the Graduate
School, a total of four senior administrators, thereby
greatly diluting the faculty responsibility for the process of
doing violence to the principle of peer evaluation,
Whereas peer evaluation is the heart and soul of the tenure
and promotion process; and
Whereas the Tenure and Promotion Committee of Auburn
University has functioned well under the guidelines set out
in the Vives Report, adopted by the University Senate in
1982, wherein the composition of the committee is set at six
faculty members and the Vice President for Academic
Affairs as Chair; and
,Be it hereby resolved that the University Senate reaffirm
its commitment to peer evaluation as set out in the Vives
Report and consider amending the Hobbs Report to place
only one administrator, the Vice President for Academic
Affairs, on the Tenure and Promotion Committee.

Flannery O'Connor
Priest finds fame in author's friendship
By Jody Kamins
News Staff
Father James Hart McCown, a
priest and long-time resident of
Spring Hill College, has found his
claim to fame. It is his friendship
with the famous author,
Flannery O'Connor, who wrote
Wise Blood, A Good Man Is Hard
To Find, and The Violent Bear It
Away.
McCown spoke Monday to an
assorted group of students,
faculty and a few Catholic clergy
about his friendship with O'Con­nor
when he worked at St.
Joseph's Church in Macon, Ga.
in the 1930's
Flannery's father died of lupus,
a degenerative disease, after the
family moved to Georgia. She
later lived in New York, until the
same disease struck her and
caused her to return home.
O'Connor was first mentioned
to him as being "snooty, and a
convert" of Catholicism, but
McCown found her just the oppo­site.
He described her as someone
who loved to meet people and who
had always been a Catholic.
"She's a sweet girl and comes to
mass every Sunday...but oh,
those stories she writes!" another
person told him.
But McCown was interested in
her, and after reading some of her
works he made plans to meet her.
Instead of meeting the attractive,
independent young woman that
he had imagined, he met a
woman leaning on a pair of alum­inum
crutches, with sharp blue
eyes and a face round and puffy
from the medication she took for
lupus.
"My literary stature could not
have overwhelmed her,"
McCown joked, but she told him
that he was the first member of.
the Catholic church to approach
her about her writing. Although
he found her personality both
droll and pithy, McCown praised
her writing and found her letters
more satisfying than their
conversations.
"We corresponded extensively,
but it was a while before I saved
her letters," he said.
She once declared to him that,
"since the invention of the auto­mobile,
Catholic priests haven't
put one foot on the ground!",
because McCown always came to
see her in a different colored
Cadillac, driven by the local
whiskey salesman.
When asked why freakish
characters are always found in
her stories, she said "because in
the south, we are still able to rec­ognize
one," because we know
what a whole man is as compared
to a freak.
McCown said that O'Connor
was strongly influenced by T.S.
Eliot's "Wasteland", and that
"her sickness gave her a lot of
time to write." He recounted giv­ing
her a book to read and when
asked for her opinion of it she
said,"I didn't like it; nobody got
killed in it."
He recalled that once he gave
one of her books to the whiskey
salesman/chauffeur, "but he
said it wasn't trashy enough for
him."
According to McCown, "She
was an unappreciated prophet in
her own home town." She was
leery of the word love, possibly
because she never had a mature
love relationship with a man, he
said. When someone pointed out
that there is no love in her writ­ings,
she countered, "You can't
write about love if you haven't
had any."
McCown said O'Connor raised
pea hens and peacocks. She told
him peacocks were considered to
be a symbol of transfiguration of
Jesus in medieval times.
He reflected that if O'Connor
had not been stricken with dis­ease,
she would probably have
stayed in New York and written
stories of a totally different vein.
Thus her perceptive stories based
on the area of Georgia where she
lived, might not have been
written.
Like sands through the hourglass
so go the pages of the Plainsman.
