What's Inside
k
Asbestos
Asbestos is a blue, brown or white
material similar to cotton, except'
with straighter fibers. It was used
extensively at Au­burn
during the
'50s and '60s when
many of the build-'
ings on campus
were built. Asbes­tos
was a good
heat insulator and
cheap to use. But it
was d a n g e r o u s.
/Only in the late 1970s did the
government begin to look into
asbestos. This week The Plains­man
begins a two-part series look­ing
into asbestos and its problems
on campus. See story on A-3.
Station format
Should Auburn's student radio sta­tion
reflect the musical taste of the
majority of the student body, or
should it be an
outlet for unno­ticed
music that
Auburn wouldn't
get otherwise?
WEGL-FM is the
only station in this
listening area that
plays progressive
rock^pther.wis^t_
known as "college music." When do
Auburn students listen to WEGL or
do they listen at all? WEGL will not
change its format because it wants
to provide an alternative. See story
on A-3.
Birmingham Weekend
It may be a week away, but next
weekend's sporting events in Bir­mingham
are a must for rabid
Auburn fans. On
Friday night, Au­burn's
basketball
team opens the
season against
UAB, and on Sat­urday
is the 51st
meeting of Auburn
and Alabama in
the Iron Bowl. The
basketball game will give fans
their first look at the 12th-ranked
cagers, while an Auburn football
victory would make up for disap­pointing
losses to Florida and
Georgia. See story on B-l
Remember the Alamo
What used to be known as the 280
Grocery and Tavern is now the
Alamo. A favorite student drinking
spot, the Alamo
provides a relaxed
a t m o s p h e r e for
students to get
away from their
studies and en­joy
a beer. The bar
has a unique way
of getting local
bands: they give
them a corner, let them do their own
advertising and let them pocket the
$2 covers collected at the door. See

Phi Delta Theta kicked off campus
By Kristi Francis
and Chris Roush
Staff Writers
Phi Delta Theta fraternity, the
oldest continuous fraternity chapter'
at the University, had its invita­tion
to be a member of Interfraternity
Council (IFC) pulled on Oct. 30 and is
no longer recognized as a social fra­ternity
on campus.
"It was a shame that this had to
happen, but we had tried everything
and it just never worked," said David
Bivin, IFC administrative vice
president.
The decision to terminate the fra­ternity's
membership in IFC was
based on events which have occurred
over the past 5-7 years in which the
fraternity has not acted according to
IFC standards, Lee Stutts, IFC
adviser said. These events include
two occasions this quarter. The most
recent incident happened on Satur­day,
Oct. 1 when a Phi Delt pledge
was admitted to East Alabama Medi­cal
Center.
According to a letter written by
Stutts, brothers in the fraternity
brought the pledge to the hospital in
his underwear with no ID and told
hospital personnel that they had
found him wandering around outside.
The pledge was found to have a blood
alcohol level of over a .30, according
to the letter.
According to the letter, four hours
after bringing the pledge in, four
brothers of the fraternity, including
the pledge trainer and Booth Malone,
the fraternity's adviser, came to the
hospital. The fraternity members
said that the student had been drink­ing
in the backyard of the house —
perhaps in a challenge with another
pledge.
The brothers said that some other
members tried to induce vomiting
and gave him a cold shower, but got
no response from him. The men then
took the pledge to the emergency
room at EAMC, an act which the
medical staff told Stutts saved his
life, the letter said.
. The other event that happened this
quarter was an altercation at the
Auburn-Tennessee football game
between members of the fraternity
and a woman student in the stands.
After the Committee on Fraterni­ties
and Sororities handed down its
decision, the fraternity appealed the
ruling. Oh Nov. 17 the committee
heard the appeal and stuck by the
original decision to terminate the fra­ternity's
membership in the IFC,
Stutts said.
"They went through the full due
process," Bivin said. "It wasn't just
these two isolated incidents. The
meeting had been called last spring in
order to update their resident adviser
situation, so these weren't isolated.
It's gone way back.
"It's a shame it had to happen.

Professors attempting to regain spots
By Kristi Francis
and Bret Pippen
Staff Writers
Five mechanical engineering pro­fessors,
rotated to other departments
last week against their will, are
attempting to regain their regular
positions and obtain a statement
from the administration "that aca­demic
freedom will be upheld."
The professors said they have con­tacted
an attorney and will file suit
against the University if a settlement
cannot be reached.
The attorney, Julian McPhiUips of
McPhillips, DeBardelaben and Haw­thorne
in Montgomery, said, "We're
going to attempt to negotiate with the
University first. If we can't work it
out, we will be filing suit in federal
court in Montgomery on the basis of
the violation of their first admend-ment
right of freedom of speech."
McPhillips said the minimum they
will be requesting is that the proposed
transfers be canceled, they be
returned to their regular positions,
and they will be requesting that the
administration issue a memo to all
faculty which states that academic
freedom will be upheld and
maintained.
The transfers affect Drs. Allen R.
Barbin, who is going to aerospace
engineering; Weldon F. Swinson, to
civil engineering; Winfred A. Shaw,
to the dean's office; Glennon Maples,
to chemical engineering; and John L.
Turner, to agricultural engineering.
The professors were told of the
transfer on Nov. 6.
Dr. David R. Dyer said, "With these
transfers there will be only three
instructors left in the department
with a total ME background."
Shaw, who is also involved in a suit
against the University over age dis­crimination,
said he would like to
know what the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology
said, but the administration is not
giving out any information.
"The reasons given are totally
false," Barbin said. "We have a rather
thin-skinned administration that
cannot take criticism."
The professors said they feel their
academic freedom of criticism has
been violated.
The "criticism" is a report entitled,
Mechanical Engineering at Auburn
University — A Review, which was
published on Oct. 6, three weeks
before ABET's visit to the College of
Engineering on Oct. 27. Barbin, the
four other transferred professors and
Dyer, who was not transferred, were
the authors.

were discussing what direction we
saw the department taking and about

University senate might defeat fall referendum
By Allison Bishop
Assistant News Editor
The referendum to move the start­ing
date of fall quarter stands a sig­nificant
chance of defeat when it goes
before the University senate.
The measure drawn up by the Stu­dent
Welfare Committee of the SGA
passed with 90 percent approval by
the student body Nov. 6 on the Home­coming
ballot.
Associate professor of civil engi­neering
and chairman of the Univer­sity
senate Calendar Committee, Dr.
S. Rod Jenkins, said the feeling of the
committee was that it would be det­rimental
to students receiving Vete­rans
Administration benefits,
teachers would have to be.paid for the
longer work period, and the State
Legislature may look dimly upon the
school's extensive inactivity.
More than 300 students receive VA
benefits, in the form of the old G.I.

Indifference is the greatest enemy
of a moral society.
This was the theme of a speech
given Tuesday night by Elie Wiesel, a
survivor of the Auschwitz and
Buchenwald concentration camps
and winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace
Prize.
Wiesel has written more than 30
books portraying biblical, rabbinic
and hassidic figures and probing the
meaning of the Holocaust. He is also
chairman of the United States Holo­caust
Memorial Council, a recipient
of the Congressional Gold Medal and
is Andrew Mellon Professor of the
Humanities at Boston University.
Wiesel spoke to a capacity crowd in
the Alabama Shakespeare Theatre at
the invitation of the Jewish Federa­tion
of Montgomery (JFM).
He used stories from the Bible and
references to the works of his favorite
author, Franz Kafka, to bring home
his message.
"I feel the tragedy of Job is not only
that he suffered, but that he did not
know he did not sin," Wiesel said.
Wiesel said the important lesson of
Job was that Job was not a Jew. He
used this analogy to show that Jews
should be concerned with all of
humanity, not just the Jewish
community.
"We must be sensitive to other peo­ple's
joys and fears," he said. "I can
deepen my humanity through my
Jewishness. I think a Christian can
say the same thing about his Chris­tianity.
God was the Father of us all."
Wiesel's mother, father and sister
died in a concentration camp.
Calling the Holocaust a unique
event, he said, "A wind of madness
swept over the country."
He said if we know of suffering, we
should work to stop it. "Of all the nat­ural
catastrophies, hunger is the only
one that can be cured by other
humans."
Wiesel spoke of the many "right­eous
gentiles" who risked the: r lives to
help the Jews during the war. He said
it is possible for a person to gain self-respect
by helping others.
He emphasized that in a moral
society we must "re-educate our
senses" and asked the audience if
they knew that more than 21 million
people have been killed in wars since
1945.
Citing the watching of Vietnam
footage during dinner, he said we
have become indifferent to people
dying.
receiver of benefits is out of school for
more than 30 days, he will not receive
benefits for that month, but they will
be held over for future educational
needs.
Wes Laird, 01PB, receives $745 per
month under VEAP.
"I thought it (the referendum) was a
good idea until I walked in here, and
they told me about the 30-day rule,"
he said. "I'm paying my way through
school and that money pays for tui­tion,
food, room rent and my car
payment. It would really hurt me not
to receive it for that month."
"If fall began earlier and let out the
same time in June," Jenkins said,
"the question is: Do you expect the
teachers to be there from Labor Day
to June 15 when they are being paid
for a nine-month contract? Or are
they going to be paid for the addi­tional
two weeks?"
SGA President Robert Maund felt
the reason the committee was against
the referendum was they believed
faculty would be working longer
while on the nine-month contract.
'They won't be working longer,"
Maund said. "This would require
them to come back earlier, but they
would get out the same time in
spring."

Fumes linger during 'Smoke Out'
By Stephanie Hunt
Managing Editor
Smokers may be fuming today,
but their cigarettes shouldn't be,
at least not according to the
American Cancer Society (ACS).
The society is sponsoring
national "Smoke Out" day today,
and smokers are asked not to
smoke for 24 hours, something
Pat Ellis, nursing director for the
Student Health Center and
leader of stop smoking sessions
there, is all in favor of.
Cigarette smoking here usually
begins in high school bathrooms
and parking lots, she said.
But it goes from fad to habit on
college campuses, according to
Ellis.
"In high school it's cool to
smoke," she said. "Then it
becomes a real habit in college,
when students can do it all the
time."
Despite the availability and
convenience of cigarette smoking
in college, though, she said, the
number of smokers is decreasing.
Nationwide, ACS reports that
cigarette smoking reached a peak
during the 1960s, but declined
until in 1986 the consumption of
cigarettes was the lowest in 20
years.
"The current trend is that teen­age
females still smoke in high
numbers, but teenage and college
males aren't smoking as much,"
she said.
Instead, Ellis said, males,
especially athletes, are turning to
smokeless tobacco, "which is just
as bad."
ACS reports an increase of 6.9
percent in the number of teenage
females smoking from 1968 to
1974, but an increase of only 1.1
percent for males during the
same period. About 15 percent of
both groups are now reported to
smoke.
The latest figures from the
society tend to support this trend.
In 1985 lung cancer surpassed
breast cancer for the first time as
the leading cause of death from
cancer in females.
Claire Tucker, who sells
cigarettes at the University
Bookstore, agrees with the
statistics.
"As a whole," she said, "it's
pretty even between who buys the
most cigarettes—maybe even,
more women."
"It's not the
'in thing' any­more.
"
—Lee, student
The week of Oct. 31, Tucker
ordered 69 cartons of cigarettes
for the bookstore. She said she
usually orders 10-15 extra car­tons
"from the Marlboro family,"
the most popular brand, each
week as well.
In addition to the approxi­mately
800 packs of cigarettes
sold each week to students, staff
and faculty, Tucker said she
keeps about 100 cans of smoke­less
tobacco.
At $1.27 per pack, a student
smoking a pack of cigarettes a
day would spend about $460 a
year—more than he might pay for
one quarter of tuition.
The cost and dangers of smok­ing
mean fewer students are
smoking, according to students
who haven't kicked the habit.
"It's not the 'in thing' any­more,"
Lee said. "I usually have
to be by myself to smoke because
none of my friends do."
Mark echoed her statements.
"If I smoke in public then most
people look at me as if I'm dirty or
stupid. I don't know, maybe I
•%**• II
am.
Both students, who asked to
remain anonymous, have tried to
quit at least once before but have
been unsuccessful.
"Whatever makes me smoke-stress,
pressure, whatever—
always comes back eventually,
and I just reach for a cigarette
automatically," Lee said.
"It's not fun, or glamorous, but
it helps," she said.
Kim Trupp, assistant director
of student housing, agrees that
the number of Auburn students
who smoke is dwindling.
"It's just a gut call, but those
who request smoking roommates
on the housing form are the vast
minority," she said.
But, Trupp said, of the approx­imately
2,550 University housing
residents, some don't want to
indicate they smoke in front of
their parents when filling out the
form, or they start smoking after
they get to college.
"The number of smokers is still
insignificant, though," Trupp
said.
Reasons students smoke are
the same as for the general popu­lation,
according to Ellis.
"There are basically three rea­sons
for smoking," she said,
"habit, chemical dependency and
pyschological dependency."
Chemical dependency, a result
of the habit-forming drug nico­tine,
is the easiest to kick in the
long run, Ellis said. "The first few
weeks are tough, but then it's
over."
Ellis said she deals with all
three in her four-week stop smok­ing
sessions.
"We try to find alternatives
like exercise, for the habit; asser
tiveness to make statements ii
other ways for the psychologica
dependency; and 'cold turkey' foi
chemical dependency," she said.
Ellis said she reccomends the
'cold turkey' method of quitting
for all her students, but said there
are other gradual methods
well.
But her sessions haven't been
well attended, according to Ellis,
who said she has had anywhere
from one to six students in the six
sessions she has held during the
past year.
"I take some as individuals if
they prefer," Ellis said. "We're
not going to turn anyone away.
But I doubt I have had more than
50 in all to try to quit."
"After one year, statistics say
that maybe 20-30 percent are still
off cigarettes," she said, "but if
just one quits, or even quits for
just six months, then it has been
worth it for me."
"Most people don't realize that
a lot of the effects of smoking are
reversible. If they will just quit
now a lot of the effects would be
gone in 10 years."
The physical dangers of smok­ing
include an increase in aller­gies,
heart conditions and respi-tory
problems, along with
increased risk of cancer any­where
in the body, Ellis said.
"You can't say that a certain
number of cigarettes will cause
cancer because it is different with
every person, but every one
increases the chances of develop­ing
one of these problems."
Factors in determining the
effects of smoking in individuals
include genetic composition and
other health habits, Ellis said.

JJniversity avoid the asbestos
lawsuits that have hit other
Institutions.
Since the asbestos program
iras organized in early 1982,
Auburn has spent $1 million on
|he asbestos project. The Univer-ity
expects the cost to be $10-$15
lillion for removal of campus
asbestos within the next 10
years, University Hazardous
Materials Manager Charles Ray
said.
Asbestos, a blue, brown or
white material similar to cotton,
except with straighter fibers, was
first used extensively at Auburn
during the 1950s and '60s when
many new buildings went up on
campus. Asbestos was cheap and
was a good heat insulator; it also
absorbed noise and improved the
acoustics of large buildings. It
was thought to be safe, though it
is not.
People may have been aware of
possible health hazards from
breathing asbestos as early as
the slavery days in America.
Slave owners noticed that asbes­tos
weavers became sick, and
often died, after working with the
material.
But it wasn't until mounting
public concern in the late 1970s
that the U.S. government looked
seriously into the issue in
response to lawsuits filed against
private industry by asbestos
workers, said Ron Hamilton, a
scientist in the air division of the
Alabama Department of Envi­ronmental
Management.
By June 1985, The Washington
Post reported 35 percent of the
secondary schools in the United
States contained dangerous
asbestos that can be crumbled
like a cookie when disturbed and
possibly inhaled. National Edu­cation
Association Vice Presi­dent
Keith Geiger estimated
650,000 teachers and other per­sonnel,
and 3 million students are
exposed every day to asbestos in
more than 14,000 institutions.

A college campus radio station
should reflect the musical taste of
the student body...or should it?
Some say it should be an outlet
for music that would otherwise go
unnoticed. L
"We play music by artists who
normally don't get a chance to be
played on other stations. We play
a lot of music from artists with
independent labels," said the
program director at WEGL, Robb
Brantley.
"Most of the students do not
listen to WEGL. We appeal to a
small elite audience," Brantley
said.
WEGL is the only station in
this listening area that plays
progressive rock, which is called
"college music" around the
station.
Progressive rock, or the so-called
"college music", is not jazz,
top-40, rock 'n' roll, classical, reli­gious
or country music. These
types of music can be heard on
different Auburn stations.

•epartments, maintenance feel funding squeeze
|By Rich Thigpen
IStaff Writer
Since the majority of the
I money in the University's budget
I comes from state funds, the pro­bation
of the state's education
I budget has been a topmost con-
| cern for AU officials this year.
According to Executive Vice
I President George Emert, Auburn
has lost $6,432,981 in its Opera­tions
and Maintenance funds
alone since Oct. 1, 1985. "The
area that has gotten cut already
is the departmental and unit
I operating budgets," he said.
"Take the English department,
for example. They have a certain
amount of non-salary money
within their budget that they use
to operate with on a day-to-day
basis. For instance, if someone is
going to buy stationery or pen­cils,
travel to a meeting, or take
students on a field trip, then the
money would come out of this O &
M budget."
He said the deferred mainte-nence
budget is cut first, though.
"That means if a roof leaks, we'll
just let it leak, or we'll patch it up
just to get by for another week,
rather than doing a complete
renovation of the roof to make the
repair more permanent. Other
examples would be replacing a
broken window, fixing a side­walk
or taking asbestos out of a
building."
In regard to the asbestos,
Emert said there is really no
immediate cause for concern.
"We've done a fairly good job of
getting the asbestos out of most
places, but we still have places
with it. Most often, it's in places
where people don't come in con­tact
with it, but we still want to
get it out.
"In the case of Haley Center,
for example, we have asbestos
between the ceiling and the floor
above, but the air samples inside
have less asbestos in them than
the air samples taken outside in
the open air. Nevertheless, it's
something we want to address as
soon as we can find the money to
do so."
Other measures are also being
taken to offset proration. "We've
frozen faculty and staff positions
that were open, so if someone
retired or resigned, we could not
fill the position. We did not give
salary increases this year, and
we've curtailed out-of-state
travel.
"Right now we're doing studies
to see if we can close buildings in
the summer to save on air condi­tioning.
Where there's a skeletal
faculty or staff only in the build­ing,
we're hoping to move a few
people into another building so a
few buildings won't have to be air
conditioned. We also made some
pre-payments on equipment from
last year that were due this year,
trying to get some of those
expenses in before this fiscal year
started."
All of these changes have hit
individual departments hard. Dr.
Murray Adams, head of the Soci­ology
Department, said his
department is really suffering.
"Basically, we lost all of our
travel money. We're also ration­ing
supplies, and we're really
particular about any use of the
WATS line for long distance
calls. There are virtually little or
no equipment expenditures
unless it's a have-to situation.
"I was cut between $6 and

play it.
"Our purpose is to serve the
public's need, not the student's
need. And the need of the public is
an exposure to a wider variety of
music."
Bill Ezell, 03 PRJ, said he likes
the variety of music WEGL plays.
"I just wish that they would play
more of the speciality shows,"
Ezell said.
The specialty shows, which
feature jazz, rock 'n' roll and
oldies, are popular among my
friends, Mary Puckett, 04 GSC,
said.
"I don't like the music they
usually play. I only listen to the
oldies and rock 'n' roll," Puckett
said.
"The college music that WEGL
plays is only what the majority of
the people that work there like."
The management at WEGL
will not change, said Chad Little,
02 AC, a disc jockey at WEGL.
"If they are playing music that
most people don't like, they are
leaders. They are being cool," Lit­tle
said.
WEGL wants to be different
and more like new wave places,
Andy Harvey, 03 GL, said.
"The music they play is mostly
screaming. I don't even consider
it music," Harvey said.
"I think it's pretty sad when the
students have to listen to disco
and the commercialized top-40
music in the cafeteria because
nobody wants to hear WEGL."
WCGQ in Columbus is the sta­tion
listened to the most in
Auburn, said Marty Anderson, 02
PCN, a disc jockey and news
director at WEGL.
"It doesn't matter to the man­agement
if we are listened to the
most around here or not. The
music format is not going to
change," Anderson said.
"Album-oriented rock was
played the most at WEGL before
the station switched to progres­sive
rock a few years ago."
Now album oriented rock is
only heard on WEGL during a
specialty show.
"The people I know only listen
to WEGL when the album rock is
played during their specialty
show. They should play more of
Zepplin, Boston, and The Firm
during the week and put this pro­gressive
rock in a specialty
show," Harvey said.
Even if the majority of students
want to hear album-oriented rock
and oldies most of the time,
WEGL will not change its format,
Brantley said.
"We play music that a person
will like sometime during the
week. Our specialty shows fea­ture
something besides college
music.
"We don't want it to be for eve­rybody.
If we had to please eve­ryone,
we would have to play
Huey Lewis. We are not going to
play that."
Depression: human condition affects students
By Stephanie Hunt
Managing Editor
Depression affects different people different
ways.
And it affects a lot of different people, according
to Dr. Paul Crouch, coordinator of the Universi­ty's
Student Mental Health Service.
"Anxiety and depression are the most prevalent
aspects in the cases we see, " Crouch said. "They
are all-pervasive."
Crouch said the types of students suffering from
depression "ranges all over."
"No one is immune to depression; it's a human
condition," he said. "It doesn't differentiate
between men and women, upper and lower class­men,
because it affects everyone."
There are as many symptoms of depression as
there are people who suffer from it, according to
Crouch.
Symptoms include, he said, a "down mood,"
changes in eating and sleeping habits, changes in
sexual appetite, morbid or negative thinking, cry­ing
spells and withdrawal.
"It's just hard to be specific," Crouch said,
"because some people gain weight and some lose;
some people sleep all the time and others can't
sleep at all."
The Mental Health Service also receives some
clients through the Health Center's medical staff.
"The medical staff are good at picking up signs
of depression," Johnna Flowers, marriage and
family therapist at the center, said.
Flowers said "doctors and nurses are sensitive
to the fact that sometimes physical complaints,
especially gastrointestinal disorders, headaches
and ulcers, might be masking symptoms of
depression and anxiety.
Crouch and Flowers couldn't say how many
cases of depression they usually see, but did esti­mate
that a significant number of the cases they
receive involve the treatment of depression.
"Students might come in for one complaint and
we'll discover that part of the problem is that they
are depressed," Flowers said.
Illustration: Martha Jones
According to the counselors, there are two kinds
of depression. With situational depression the
patient is able to specify a precipitating factor,
Flowers said, like breaking up with a boyfriend or
girlfriend, or parents divorcing.
The second and more serious form of depression
is longterm. "These clients have always felt
depressed and are more difficult to treat and
require more time," Crouch said.
Causes of depression also vary dramatically, he
said, but usually have a basis in the patient's
"perceived loss of self-esteem" or relatedness to
important people in his life, especially parents.
Occasionally we bring families together for
joint sessions," Flowers said, "especially if they
live nearby or it is a crisis situation.
"But usually joint sessions are used for couples
rather than parents and children."
Treatment of depression includes a complete
assessment of the person—all about himself, his
complaint and his medical and family back­ground.
The staff also screens for any medication
a patient is taking along with any use of illegal
drugs or alcohol.
A counseling program is developed by the entire
staff and then presented and explained to the
student.
"Our goal in counseling is to be very open, hon­est
and non-judgemental with the student,"
Crouch said. "We want them to explore their feel­ing
until they can resove the problem."
Counseling can last anywhere between two or
three weekly sessions to two quarters of sessions.
Cases requiring longterm treatment are referred
to appropriate community services, he said.
"Resolution can come quickly in some while
others may take longer," Flowers said.
Detecting when someone has resolved his prob­lem
varies as well, she said.
"Sometimes they can tell you that they feel bet­ter
or are thinking differently about the situation,
but sometimes it's just a new look they have.
"You interact with them and you can see the
change. Then they are ready to handle it on their
own."

Tell us now
The problems with the mechani­cal
engineering department are far-reaching
and numerous, probably
so numerous that we will never be
able to find out the complete truth.
What is scary is the administration
should have told the students from
the beginning what was going on.
President James Martin, Engi­neering
Dean Lynn Weaver and
Malcolm Crocker, head of the
mechanical e n g i n e e r i n g depart­ment,
met with concerned mechani­cal
engineering students last night
to discuss the problems.
For one extremely important rea­son,
the students in this department
have every right to know what the
situation is in mechanical engineer­ing.
Their future is a t stake, and if
ME loses accreditation, they won't
get good jobs.
These students deserve a n expla­nation,
and we hope they got it last
night. It was time for the adminis­trators
to speak up a n d tell students
why the six professors were moved
out of t h e department. The students
also have a right to know about the
study put together by those six.
And if there is a problem with
mechanical engineering, as the
ireport s a y s , t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i on
should let the students know. Don't
hide your problems — t h e best way
to get rid of problems is to admit
them.
We hope most of the mechanical
e n g i n e e r i n g s t u d e n t s had their
questions answered sufficiently last
night. You c a n ' t tell who's wrong or
who's right in t h i s mess, but it would
be nice if students at least knew the
facts.
Postgame
Defeat is hard to swallow for any
person, but the events that hap­pened
after Auburn's loss to Georgia
on Saturday make it even worse.
The public address announcer,
at the end of the fourth quarter,
asked fans not to pile onto the field.
If Auburn had won, this would have
not been a problem. But Georgia
won, and it was obvious t h a t they
were going to run onto the field once
the game was over.
The question is this: Couldn't the
security at the game have prevented
this? Yes, they could have, but they
weren't near the Georgia section.
They were clustered around the
Auburn student section.
If we have the Auburn security
figured correctly, it seems they're
more likely to arrest a n Auburn stu­dent
for throwing a waded paper cup
at one of their own t h a n a Georgia
student for running onto the field,
something we had all been told not
to do.
True, there were 38 arrests made,
but these were mostly people fight­ing
and tearing up the field-disor­derly
conduct and criminal trespass.
The security at t h e football game
was the worst aspect of the night,
even worse t h a n the outcome of the
game. They should have been pre­pared
for the outburst of fans from
the Georgia section and been over
there, instead of having about 20
camped in front of our student
section.
From the events t h a t happened,
you have to wonder, are our security
people trained to deal with a situa­tion
like t h a t ? Apparently not.
The water hoses t h a t were turned
on t h e field did not help much either,
unless they wanted to cluster all the
Georgia fans in the middle of the
field so they could tear up t h e grass.
If t h e security is concerned for the
well-being of the spectators of the
football game, they h a d a funny way
of showing it. J u s t because this was
the last football game for the year
does not absolve them of their mis­takes.
We hope they learned some­thing
Saturday night.
It was a poor performance by the
team and the fans. But the poorest
performance award goes unani­mously
to the security.
BYOB
As Christmas nears, i t ' s time for
students to s t a r t thinking about the
presents you have to buy for friends
and relatives. Better s t a r t now, there
are only 35 more shopping days.
And when you're making out t h at
gift list, include one of Auburn's
neediest causes. I t ' s somebody,
named Ralph. It's Auburn's library.'
Ralph likes books and he needs
more to improve. Organizations on
campus have decided to do some­thing
about it and have grouped
together in a campaign to donate
needed books or money to buy books
for Ralph. They can see t h e fruition
of their effort with a sticker on the
inside cover of books they helped
give.
Not only is t h i s a good effort and
shows t h a t students care, but it goes
toward improving an area at
Auburn t h a t needs improvement.
Christmas is a time for giving.
And when you're giving, include
somebody who needs gifts. Check
out what Ralph needs, and buy him
a book. He will thank you many
times, and so will future Auburn
students.
Double standard
During Homecoming, a black
candidate for Miss Homecoming
who made the top 20, decided to
stage a write-in campaign to give
black students a voice. She was not
told how many votes she received.
And while the SGA Code of Laws
states in bylaw 607.7 t h a t "There
shall be no write-in candidates,"
there is also bylaw 601.2, subpoint I,
which states the secretary of politi­cal
affairs shall "maintain, as a
permanent public record, the final
results of all elections, and for two
months following every election, the
official tally sheets from said
election."
I t ' s true the write-in campaign run
by this candidate, if t he SGA follows
the rules, was illegal, but itfs also
true that the SGA, if it follows its;
own rules, should release the totals
for Miss Homecoming and Miss
Auburn; If t h e SGA Elections Board
feels "it might hurt some girls' feel­ings,"
are they not going to release
girl's vote totals if one runs for SGA
president, vice president or treas­urer?
They have released these
totals in the past when a female has
run for one of these positions.
There is a double standard that
exists. The totals of female candi­dates
for senators are released as
well a s those who r un for other posi­tions.
Why aren't the totals released
for Miss Homecoming and Miss
Auburn?
If a candidate for Miss Homecom­ing
cannot take the feelings of los­ing
an election, then they aren't
mature enought to be running. Only
one person can win an election.
; • And if they don't release the
totals, then nobody wins.

Of mice and our president
Chris
ROUSH
I have held my tongue long enough on
a topic which greatly concerns me. It is
the future of this University and the
direction its leadership seems to be turn­ing
us towards.
When President James Martin first
came to this University to lead it, I
thought it was a change for the better.
The Board of Trustees liked him, and in
effect they admitted the faux pas of
allowing Hanly Funderburk's hands on
the controls.
I also thought that the faculty could
get rid of a president, like they did with
Funderburk, at any time. If the presi­dent
screwed up enough, all the faculty
had to do was rise up like colonists and
overthrow the king.
This is what I thought. Developments
and observations in the last nine
months have led me to believe otherwise.
Martin, as much as I hate to say it
because I want this University to be so
much, is not doing a thing for making
Auburn a better university. He has made
us, in three short years, a one-dimensional
research school which likes
to have construction, new buildings and
wider roads.
These things are good, but we need
more in the other areas of the Univer­sity.
And this is where the problem is.
There are people out there trying to do
Auburn some good in the other areas,
but it seems as if Martin refuses to listen
to anything anybody says if he doesn't
agree with them. Get the wax out of your
ears and listen to what people have to
say. Have an open mind for once.
Things that the students want, such
as an earlier start to fall quarter, already
met displeasure from Martin before the
resolution was even overwhelmingly
voted upon.
And the problems with tenure and
promotions will not be remedied any
time soon because the administration
has failed to tackle the problem head on.
I can tell you what the problem is right
now: It is a disproportionate system and
if you don't do research and write papers
about your field you might as well forget
it. They think if they ignore the situation
it will go away.
There are other problems. What has
happened to the liberal arts, mathemat­ics
and other fields who don't have a
gleam in Jim's eye? As much as they try,
they will not get far in Samford Hall. He
likes engineering and the technical
fields. Besides, they had their day when
Philpott was president.
The faculty can make life extremely
difficult for him, but most live in fear of
being transferred to another field or are
extremely afraid of tenure and
promotion.
The only difference between Hanly
and Jimmy is that Hanly was a bum­bling
fool and Jimmy is a slick PR man
— he knows how to handle tight situa­tions
and the press by avoiding answer­ing
the students' and faculties' ques­tions.
He is a better politician than
Hanly, though not a better president..
Oh yeah, from my standpoint there's
another difference. Whereas Funder­burk
fought for his life before the Trus­tees,
it won't happen with Martin. They
are his friends.
It's easy to criticize the president of
this University because he's at the top
and he has a hand in all the decisions.
All I'm asking from you, Dr. Martin, is
that you open up, listen to some ideas
and be responsive to changes. Having a
closed mind is going to catch up with you
some day. Criticism like this is intended
to be constructive. Become a president of
the whole university and not just what
your whims tell you to be.
There is no revolution coming at
Auburn University. The faculty and
students had that in '82-'83 with
Funderburk.
Thomas Jefferson thought revolution
was a good thing, but the serfs and pea­sants
at Auburn can't handle another
one just yet. They've tried to uprise, but
they've gotten fed up and they're just
going to leave. They aren't going to take
it any more. I can't say that I blame
the faculty that have left.
I know I've sounded harsh Dr. Martin,
but from my point of view it needed to be
said.
Jim, I've heard and seen the rum­blings
in this University, and I hope you
have too. If you think ignoring it until it
goes away is the solution, you are
gravely mistaken. If you don't open up
and make some changes, it could hurt
this university severely.

Hunt sorry she's from Georgia
Stephanie
HUNT
About this time every year I feel the
need to confess my deep dark secret.
You see, I'm from Georgia. But I can
honestly say I have never gotten down
on all fours and barked or pulled up the
grass on someone's football field.
As long as I can remember I have been
embarassed by my tenuous, but real
relation, to "the dawgs" and have con­fessed
my association so no one will
think I am a closet UGA sympathizer.
But this year I feel more like apologiz­ing
for my homestate than merely con­fessing
its existence.
I can't begin to explain why grown
men and women along with students do
dog imitations during football games. I
don't think any reasonable person
could.
After all, we don't roar like tigers and
Alabama doesn't do whatever it is ele­phants
do. But you can bet that Bulldogs
all over the world were "woofing" Satur­day
night.
Trying to understand why someone
had barked in her face after the game, a
friend of mine asked him if that behav­ior
didn't embarass his mother. Being
from Alabama, she couldn't be expected
to know that his mother probably taught
him how.
But this year's conduct went beyond
stupid — it was violent and out of
control.
Maybe the warnings on the score­board
to stay off the field after the game
just made them mad. And turning the
sprinklers on them didn't help either
(Maybe they thought they were tiny lit­tle
fire hydrants).
And the number of fights was incredi­ble.
The few security guards in the sta­dium
were responsible for breaking up
hundreds of fights. Granted, they were
started as often by Auburn fans as
Georgia, but we haven't had this prob­lem
with other schools — not even
Florida.
The Plainsman has been flooded with
horror stories since the office opened at
7:30 Monday morning. One Bulldog fan
tried to tear a lady's orange belt off
before the game, another verbally
abused an elderly couple as he followed
them on their 10-minute walk to the car,
and of course the field speaks for itself.
All I can say is thank heavens they
won!
It's sad too because their team played
a good game and deserved to win. They
didn't deserve to be humiliated by their
fans. Our players didn't either, but I'm
afraid they were when some Auburn
fans got right down in the dirt with the
dogs.
Horror story number four: an Auburn
student got beat up after the game by
two avid fans — Auburn fans.
I have to admit I don't know what to
do about the situation, because I don't
know what causes UGA disciples to act
the way they do and bring out the worst
in their opponents.
They will tell you it is school spirit, but
that's a cop out. There is a difference
between cheering for your team and
abusing the other team.
Part of the blame for this year's game
was the 6:45 p.m. kickoff. Too much par­tying
before the game can lead to quick
tempers.
Lack of security is another. In fact, a
sportswriter for The Red and Black
(UGA's student newspaper) implied that
the ruckus after the game was our fault
for just that reason. "With only about
five or six guards and that little fence,
you couldn't expect us to not storm the
field," he told me Monday morning.
That's a sad commentary on his read­ers.
Can't they control themselves?
Or maybe it's something in Athens'
water, or in the school systems, and I
was just lucky enough to get out before I
started barking or grazing on football
fields made tender from the hosing down
of a sprinkler system.
I guess it's like what they teach in
Sunday school, "Be in the world, but not
of it."
I may live in Georgia, but I am not of
it. Thank God.
(Oh yeah, War Eagle anyway!)

All the stupid books you care to buy
Patti
COLEGROV
Have you been to a bookstore lately?
I don't mean Ander's, J & M or Uni­versity.
I mean the kind of bookstore like
the one at the mall. The kind where all
they sell is books. Hundreds upon
hundreds of books.
Have you been lately? Oh, they
haven't changed much. The old stand-bys
are still there. Dictionarys, cook­books,
mysteries, romances, sports,
beauty, health, religious, childrens, etc.
The list goes on and on.
I bet you wouldn't expect to find a book
called Pat the Yuppie — now you can
touch and feel the Yuppie world.
It's a take off on the childrens book
Pat the Bunny. Instead of patting the
bunny's tale, you can pat the Yuppie's
L.L. Bean sheepskin seat covers on his
BMW.
Sure, "Meet Robert and Kathleen.
They own many nice things. And they
keep very busy. They're Yuppies. You
can own many nice things. And you can
keep very busy."
"Robert and Kathleen own a brand
new BMW. Their L.L. Bean sheepskin
seat covers feel very soft. Now YOU can
feel the soft seat covers.
"Robert just bought a $400,000 condo.
He likes the rough bricks. How soft are
the bricks? Sooooo soft."
The book's authors, Jim Becker and
Andy Mayer, probably sat around one
day and said, "Oh gee, wouldn't it be
funny to have a book about all these
Yuppies to make fun of them? They will
buy it and give it to all their Yuppie
friends for Christmas. We'll charge an
outrageous $5.95 and get rich off all
these label conscious, overgrown
babies."
The worst part is that they probably
are getting rich.
So, do you need money? Well then,
write a book. There are some crazy books
out there in book land. And lucky you,
just in time for Christmas.
Let's see. There's A Hotel is a Very
Funny Place, America's Richest Bache­lors
and Where to Find Them (that's one
everyone could use), Where the Girls are
Today — College man's roadtripguide to
all women's colleges, Guess Who's Jew­ish
(now there's a useful book. Maybe I'll
publish one about who is Christian), and
here's my favorite, Do I Dust or Vacuum
First? and 99 other nitty-gritty house-cleaning
questions, by Don Aslett,
"America's #1 cleaning expert."
First of all, who made him a cleaning
expert? Second of all, who cares? Just
clean the house and forget about it.
I can't believe there is an entire book
about housecleaning. It has questions
like: What's the best way to make a bed?
How do you get rid of cobwebs? What is
the best thing to dust with?
Get the picture?
For the bride-to-be there are enough
books to last an eternity of weddings.
If you're a debutante and don't know
how to act, heaven forbid, deb of the
decade, Corniela Guest wrote about
what every deb should know. It's kind of
like the Preppy Handbook for debs.
For all you boys out there who don't
know a thing about manners and eti­quette,
there are literally scads of books
for you.
And yes, my personal favorite, there
are even books for you boys but there
who don't know anything about dates.
So, people are writing books about
anything. Do you have an idea? Lord
knows with these type of books gracing
our precious bookstores, we need all the
ideas we can get.

for nothing. Sounds simple
jloesn't it?lt is a lot harder for most peo­ple
to believe than you would think. Let's
|ook at some examples.
The best example can be found in the
hecent political campaigns. In the politi­cal
ads the candidates promised to lower
taxes, eliminate the deficit and to
Increase defense and/or social welfare
programs. Simultaneously. If you stop
ind think about this for a few seconds,
/pu will be able to see how ridiculous this
Is.
Look, everybody is for lower taxes,
right? It means less money coming out
of our pockets. Great idea, isn't it?
But with lower taxes and a decreasing
deficit come federal cutbacks. Lower
taxes and no cutbacks mean a high
deficit. No deficit and no cutbacks will
mean raising the taxes we pay. This is
called reality.
Let's take another example. Everybody
is for education. Education is great.
Let's do all we possibly can to improve it.
Over the summer, when Gov. Wallace
tried to increase taxes and add a tax on
the gambling done at Vitoryland, we all
got to see just how much the people of
Alabama were for education. We all
want better — as long as it doesn't cost
anymore.
And when the governor's race started
up, Baxley and Graddick both wanted
this to be the cleanest campaign in Ala­bama
history. Neither one of them was
willing to risk losing the race for lack of
dirty tactics, however.
Here's a new word for you: TAN-STAAFL.
It is an anacronym for the
phrase "There ain't no such thing as a
free lunch." And that folks, is the bottom
line. You get what you pay for, nothing
is free. Time to start realizing this and
stop whining about the problems. It is
time to pay. If not... well, how big is the
deficit this year anyway?

Groups encouraged to buy library books
Editor, The Plainsman:
It seems that every time a comprehen­sive
review of Auburn University is
undertaken, one criticism is the lack of
an adequate library. Undoubtedly, the
proposed library expansion has the
potential to solve a great deal of this
problem, but the new space must be
filled with the proper materials. Lack of
proper funding has always been the
library's primary stumbling block and
with two proration cuts into the budget
this task seems increasingly difficult.
Certainly no one is more adversely
affected by this dilemma than the stu­dents
themselves who are the primary
recipients of library services and will
also receive their degree from a Univer­sity
whose academic atmosphere has
been held to question.
In an effort to help alleviate this grow­ing
problem and show a strong voice of
concern for the issue at hand, a group of
student organizations have come
together to begin The Books for Ralph
Campaign. • ,
The group, which includes Mortar
Board, Omicron Delta Kappa, Talons,
Lambda Sigma, SGA, IFC and Panhel-lenic,
hopes to organize a campus-wide
student effort to donate books to the
library. The primary source of funds will
come from the more than 300
University-chartered organizations on
campus. Letters were sent out at the
beginning of this week which included a
brief explanation of the drive and a list
of books which are needed by the library.
Professional organizations will receive
a list of books which have been
requested from their respective fields.
For a University of this size, we need
more volumes in the library. This plan
will be a step in the right direction.
I would like to encourage each organi­zation
to contribute as generously as

corrects errors
jin China story
Editor, The Plainsman:
May I use your columns to correct
some of the errors that crept into the
Nov. 6 Plainsman story on my year to
teaching China?
1. "No one speaks your language." In
fact, all my students spoke English.
2. My students "had trouble talking
about many typical things Americans
often discuss." In fact, the opposite is
true.
3. Chinese "stereotypes of Westerners
are 'most accurate perceptions of our
shortcomings.'" This sentence should
read "Most Chinese stereotypes of Wes­terners
are based on accurate percep­tions
of our shortcomings." By defini­tion
a "stereotype" cannot be "most
accurate." The bold-faced quotation
highlighting the article, "Compared to
the Chinese we are selfish, cold, and
smile with our skin," exemplifies a Chi­nese
stereotype; it is not my view.
4. "When Americans return from visit­ing
the United States, their friends ask,
'What did you buy?'" "Americans"
should be "Chinese."
5. "Their government sets an eight-piece
limit on what may be brought
back." Please add "duty free."
6. The Tibetan sky burial practice I
described is Tibetan, not Chinese. Tibet
is politically part of China, but is cultu­rally
quite distinct.

Correction
In a story in the Nov. 6 issue titled
"Shelter survives to provide humane
services," it stated that a $25 adoption
fee included the check for heartworms,
all shots, worming and one free vet visit.
Lee County Humane Shelter provides
a free pet examination with one of the
veterinarians that participate with this
program. It does not include any shots,
lab work or treatments that your pet
may require. Rabies vaccinations are
required by law and must be obtained by
the owner.
The Plainsman regrets that this sent­ence
was worded incorrectly as to con­note
a different meaning.
In a story about the swim team in last
week's paper, it listed two divers, John
McGhee and Tracie Tips, as members of
the team. In fact, McGhee and Tips have
graduated and are no longer members of
the team. The Plainsman regrets the
error.
It is the policy of this newspaper to
correct errors of fact.
Editor, The Plainsman:
First of all, we would like to applaud
Joan Sherwood for her letter to the editor
in the Nov. 13 issue of The Plainsman
concerning the generalizations in Ms.
Perkins' article on lesbianism in the
Nov. 6 issue. It takes a lot of courage to
defend your beliefs and to sign your
name to such a letter in a conservative
town such as Auburn. It was also
refreshing to see that The Plainsman
can publish a letter concerning homo­sexuality
without bias.
We wish to add to Sherwood's com­ments
by saying that a very broad
statement was made concerning gay
men in Perkins' article. Ellen was
quoted as saying, "Gay men are with
their lover more because of the physical
attraction."
That statement applies to men, gay or
straight, as well as some women. It was
also disappointing to us that The
Plainsman would turn down repeated
offers from the East Alabama Gay/Les­bian
Society to interview a group of gay
men and lesbians more representative of
Auburn's gay community. Furthermore,
we are surprised that you could find
three "lesbians" who are not involved
with the mainstream of the community.
In Perkins' article, Cathy was quoted
as saying, "I know of about eight women
that go to Auburn that are gay. Most of
these women fit into the typical stereo­type
as masculine, athletic women."
Granted this may be a typical stereo­type,
however, it is not the typical
appearance of the average lesbian in
Auburn. The E AGLS' Homecoming was
held this past weekend at which 45 to 50
lesbians were in attendance, with only a
handful of which might possibly fit
Cathy's stereotype.
In closing we would like to extend an
invitation to Alice, Cathy and Ellen,
along with anyone else in Auburn who
doesn't know the community, to come
meet with us. You may be surprised to
find out how diverse we really are.

Student won't
ask drinkers
out on dates
Editor, The Plainsman:
My letter is in reference to women who
drink. I am 23 years old and have sworn
off dating women who drink for several
reasons.
The first is that I have never known a
woman who drinks (even just an occas­ional
glass of wine) that has not gotten
drunk. Every woman I have known that
drinks, throws up. I also know of several
(but not all) of my female friends who
participate in activities while drinking
that they would not do sober.
It is a medically proven fact (Harvard
Medical School released a report last
month) that even a small dosage of
alcohol ingested breaks down the esoph­agus,
and leads to an increased risk of
heart failure as well as permanently des­troys
a proportionate amount of brain
cells. How can a woman (or man) go to
aerobics or exercise, then go home and
relax with a beer without worrying
about its affects on her (or his) body?
I admit, when I was younger, I had a
love for the taste of Pepsi. Every chance
I had, I drank a Pepsi. Today, I enjoy a
good cup of coffee. I never had a beer, but
some tell me it tastes better than it
smells. I have nothing against a woman
who drinks, but I will not ask her for a
date.

Interpretation of Christian beliefs wrong
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to make a comment con­cerning
some statements made by Ron
Beshears in the Nov. 13 issue of The
Plainsman (letter writer's judgment not
correct). Beshears made the following
statements:
"Christ's death proves nothing except
that he was obviously perceived as a pol­itical
threat by the government, which
accordingly executed him as a common
criminal, using a form of execution
which was routinely employed for cen­turies
before and after the death of
Christ.
"Thousands of criminals were exe­cuted
in this manner, and that alone
confers no divine status on them. The
point, of course, is not the manner of
Jesus' death, but the event itself, which
supposedly shows that some all-powerful
and all-knowing supreme
More Letters, A-6
being loves mankind above all other life
forms in the universe. That absurdity is
a subject for another letter."
Beshears' interpretation of the
essence of Christianity is wrong. Jesus
claimed to be God, and allowed Himself
to be worshipped as God (John 20:28,
NIV). Jesus was unique, different from
Mohammed, Buddha or Confucius.
Mohammed believed that he was a
prophet. Buddha thought that he was a
seeker after truth. Confucius never
claimed to be anything more than a wise
teacher. Only Jesus made the claim to be
the eternal Son of God.
The most important aspect of Chris­tianity
was not that Jesus died on the
cross, but the fact He rose again from the
dead (Matt. 28:7, NIV). Jesus Christ
never sinned, so He was able to die as a
substitute for all human sinners. Jesus
took the sins of all mankind into the
grave with Him, but He arose pure.
Through Christ. God was nble to pre­serve
His righteous law by punishing
the breaking of the law while offering a
pardon to those who broke it. Through
Christ we have eternal salvation.
I will agree with Beshears that many
crimes have been perpetrated upon
humanity in the name of Christianity.
But the people who committed these
crimes did not really know Christ. Jesus
did not teach his disciples to persecute
and torture heretics.

Administrators emphasis research
•Letter from the Editor'
The Auburn Plainsman (USPS 434740) is
published weekly except during class breaks
and holidays for $12.50 per year and $4.50 per
full school quarter by Auburn University,
Ala., 36849. Second class postage paid at
Auburn, Ala. POSTMASTER: Send address
changes to The Auburn Plainsman, B-100
Foy Union Building, Auburn University, Ala.
36849.
Bloom County becomes weekly strip
With the end of the quarter drawing
near, I feel compelled to report on several
topics of interest concerning The
Plainsman and what is contained in its
pages each week.
Several groups on campus have come
to the office and asked for a story to be
done on their group. For instance, a
representative from the rugby club
asked for a story about their games.
I agree with him that this would prob­ably
be a good story and that students
would be interested. The problem lies
with the rest of the 300-plus groups and
clubs on campus.
They would want the same kind of
story and we just do not have the capac­ity
to accommodate everyone. I regret
this has happened, but a policy had to be
made on this topic or it would have got­ten
out of control.
Other students, particularly an art
student and a respresentative from a
pharmacy honorary, approached me
and asked for a student cartoon and a
health column, respectively, to be run
each week. These are good ideas, but the
paper had already begun the year and I
didn't feel starting a new feature after
the year has begun would have been
good. I told both to come back at the end
of spring quarter, or before fall quarter
began to talk to the new editor.
The Auburn Alumni chapter of Phi
Theta Kappa, a junior college honorary,
also approached me and requested that
the Freshman Survival Guide,put
together at the start of this year by The
Plains man, have its name changed to
New Student Survival Guide.
The Freshman Survival Guide is not a
yearly issue. This year was the first one
ever done at Auburn and I don't even
know if next year's editor, whoever it
may be, will even have a Guide. But if
the next editor decides to have one, Phi
Theta Kappa, should contact that per­son
before it is printed.
I appreciate readers pointing out mis­takes
and problems they find in the
newspaper. The editors try to catch as
many as possible, but errors of fact are
sometimes hard to correct in the limited
time we have after our staff writers turn
in stories.
Edward V. Lucas (1868-1938), writing
On Accuracy, wrote the following: "Has
any reader ever found perfect accuracy
in the newspaper account of any event of
which he himself had inside knowl­edge?"
Although this does not absolve
anybody on this newspaper staff from
searching for complete accuracy in their
articles, I believe this quote sums up the
difficulty our writers sometimes face.
Once again, I cannot stress enough
the difference between editorials, per­sonal
columns and letters to the editor.
Staff writers do not write letters to the
editor, they write personal columns
about any topic they choose.
And when they write a personal
column, I cannot ethically change any­thing
in their column because that is
their personal belief about a certain
topic. It is not "poor editing," as one
complainant argued, when there is a
slanted view in a column. That's what a
personal column is supposed to be — a
writer's own ideas, thoughts and beliefs.
What is written in the editorials (left
column of page 4) are not my own per­sonal
beliefs, but those of the editorial
board as a whole. I have not agreed with
every editorial this quarter, but I will
defend the right for the editorial board's
voice, and not my own, to be heard.
I will end on a high note. Among the
other design changes that have been
made this quarter. This week The
Plainsman will change cartoon strips.
We are discontinuing Doonesbury and
adding Bloom County in its place.
I feel Bloom County is more interest­ing
to college students and that Doones­bury,
although a fine strip, is written
more about national and international
issues which are difficult sometimes for
some readers to understand, and it does
not give the light humor it once did. I
wish we could run both, but space re­strictions
do not permit it. If there are
any complaints about the change, feel
free to discuss them with me.
Chris Roush
Plainsman editor
Editor, The Plainsman:
Excellence in teaching and excellence
in research; Dr. Parks is correct, we
should strive for both at Auburn. How­ever,
suggesting that we already have
"well established undergraduate pro­grams"
and "should now give special
emphasis to the establishment of strong
graduate and research programs" is a
gross error of judgment.
If "the teaching of undergraduates
always will be the single-most impor­tant
role of Auburn University," as indi­cated
by Dr. Parks, then why should
emphasis ever be shifted away from
teaching to research? The truth is that
emphasis by administrators at Auburn
has been on research all along. What are
the incentives for a faculty member to
excell at research? What are the incen­tives
for a faculty member to excell at
teaching? Believe me, the incentives are
not the same!
All of us know that the two functions
are mastered by very few individuals.
An excellent researcher can be at the top
of his field and still not be able to trans­mit
his great knowledge to others. An
excellent teacher can accomplish that
transfer of knowledge which is so essen­tial
to expand our horizons. We do need
both.
The tragedy at Auburn rests in the
fact that some administrators reward a
demonstrated ability in research to a
greater extent than they reward a dem­onstrated
ability in teaching. Shouldn't
we insist that demonstrated excellence
in teaching receive the greater rewards
given the fact that "the teaching of
undergraduates always will be the
single-most important role of Auburn
University?"
How does an administrator demon­strate
commitment to a quality under­graduate
program? Should we believe
what they tell us? Do actions speak
louder than words? Should we expect
real administrative support for effective
teaching workshops, real administra­tive
support for a meaningful student
and peer evaluation system for teachers
and administrators and real adminis­trative
support for incentives for teach­ing
excellence equal to or greater than
those already in place for good contribu­tions
in research? Or should we just
believe administrators are committed to
teaching excellence because they tell us
they are?

Campus needs proper lighting
Editor, The Plainsman:
Assault, robbery and possible rape;
these words bring to mind multiple con­notations
of fear, worry and anger. As
an alumni and now graduate student at
Auburn, I loathe these words being
associated with this school, but I have
serious questions as to the effort being
made by the University to prevent these
words from becoming reality.
I admit my present level of ignorance
regarding the University's current
efforts to prevent these occurences. The
University may be taking steps toward
safety, but is it taking what would seem
to be an obvious step—more lighting?
This campus needs vast improve­ments
on lighting to reduce the threat of
violence and personal injury. This of
course requires a financial commitment,
which is an unpopular subject these
days. However, money spent on lighting
would seem worth the price of preven­tion
considering the exorbitant cost of
law suits that would damage both the
University's image and financial status.
It is my earnest hope that this school
will, in effect, "see the light" and produce
the funds necessary for proper lighting
of the outside of classroom buildings,
parking lots and travelled walkways.
God knows the effects of assault and
rape on a victim can be permanent, but
something like death is entirely per­manent.
Do something to prevent this
Auburn!

S Regarding Saturday night's game at
£ Jordan-Hare Stadium — Georgia fans
! ought to be ashamed! I am referring of
- course to the post-game "celebration"
that occurred when Georgia had upset
Auburn 20-16.
Despite repeated requests over the
P. A. system for fans to stay off the play-
' ing field, the field was flooded with
• Georgia fans at the game's end. This is
understandable, maybe even to be
expected. Kids are kids and this is excit­ing
college football and they get carried
sway, right? Right.
. But then my husband and I had to
watch, along with thousands of other
Auburn fans, as Georgia proceeded to
dig up the school emblem in the middle
of our playing field. It was sickening.

Later that night we were to hear peo­ple
excuse Georgia fans with comments
tike, "Well, that's college football, they
were probably drunk and they're just
kids." There is no excuse for behavior
like that.
I truly believe I would be just as upset
if Auburn were to trash someone else's
stadium as Georgia did ours. My apolo­gies
to the friendly Georgia fans who
were appalled at their neighbors' antics;
I don't mean to incriminate all of you.
However, what it comes down to is this:
Georgia owes us an apology. And no, I
don't expect we'll get one.
Laura Adams
Auburn
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to address Ron Beshears
concerning his letter of Nov. 13.
Mr. Beshears, you seem to base your
atheism, the belief that God does not
exist, on your rejection of Christianity
rather than any proof that there is no
God. Your "objective" look at the "truth"
is a subjective, bitter indictment of a
faith which you do not seem to have
examined seriously.
Have you ever read the Bible with an
open mind? Do you know any Chris­tians,
on a personal level, with which
you have discussed the truth? You seem
to think you know just what a Christian
is without having examined the truths
we base our faith and lives on.
A Christian is one who is Christ-like
and obeys the voice of God (Galatians
5:22-24; John 14:21). I know people in
Great Commission, including a writer of
the letter you disagreed with, and they
are truly Christ-like people concerned
about your spiritual welfare. Before you
reject God and condemn yourself (John
12:47,48; John 3:17-21), read the Bible.
Don't just accept the literature of athe­ists
and their opinion of Christianity.
Think for yourself. Blame not before
thou hast examined the truth (Eccl.
11:7). Psalm 14 says: "The fool has said
in his heart, "There is no God.'" A fool is
one who lets prejudice, ignorance and
emotion dictate his beliefs.
It is a great leap of faith to look at the
intricacies of DNA, atomic structure and
the human brain and then deny the
existence of an almighty, all-knowing
Creator. If you are really objective you
will read the first chapter of Romans
and see what it says about you, who
would rather pretend there is no God or
moral absolutes.
Furthermore, Jesus''death on the
cross is proof of His love because he died
willingly. Read Matt. 26:50-56. It was
not a political execution. The Roman
official, Pilate, and Herod, the king, said
that Jesus was innocent of any crime
against the state and tried to release
Jesus several times, but the Pharistic
priests demanded the death penalty.
Jesus' words of truth and morality
had pierced their hearts as it does yours.
When you read the truth, as in Galatians
5:19-21, about the immorality which
separates you from God, your soul con­demns
you. Read Luke 22, Mark 15 and
Matt. 27 and decide who will be your god,
the Jesus who died and can set you free
from lust or pride, or you.
Finally, Christ did not just die on the
cross, He was raised from the dead. Two
men tried to disprove the resurrection,
but later wrote, "The evidence pointed
unmistakably to the fact that Jesus did
rise from the dead." Read Man Alive, by
Michael Green, Intervarrity Press.
A former Chief Justice of England,
Lord Darling, once said of the subject,
"In its favor as a living truth there
exists such overwhelming evidence, pos­itive
and negative, factual and circum­stantial,
that no intelligent jury in the
world could fail to bring in a verdict that
the resurrection story is true." This is
from Evidence That Demands A Ver­dict,
by Josh McDowell, 1972, Campus
Crusade for Christ, Inc.
Thank you for investigating the truth
by reading a Christian perspective.

Teaching/ research discussion universal
Editor, The Plainsman:
The discussion in the several last
issues of The Plainsman about teaching
and research showed us that we are
touching the hot spot of our profession.
That's why it's worthy to discuss.
Somebody, especially students, can
maybe get the wrong impression that
this problem affects only Auburn — a
Semester better than early fall
Editor, The Plainsman:
The recommendation to end the fall
quarter before Thanksgiving addresses
the wrong issue. The issue should be
quarter system vs. semester system. The
semester system would accomplish all
but the goal of being home for Thanks­giving,
a luxury rarely afforded at any
university for those who live great
distances.
Finishing in mid-May to allow stu­dents
to compete for the best summer
jobs would be a major improvement. A
state university closed from Thanks­giving
to New Year's can only reinforce
the prejudices of those opposed to
increased support for higher education.
I've worked many years in both sys­tems
and am convinced the semester
system offers more advantages to both
students and faculty.
Keith McPheeters, Dean
School of Architecture
world-known University for its research
and teaching, particularly in aquacul-ture.
The Time of Nov. 10 on page 96
described the problem at a national level
in America, but it exists worldwide, so it
could be useful to describe the other
experiences as well.
During the two decades after World
War II, Yugoslavia had a system of fixed
salaries and professors knew how much
money they could expect and they were
much more involved in work with stu­dents,
as well as fundamental research.
With an important reform, the following
slogan came about: "Science to the
production."
That means, in practice, that some
money will be given to teaching, some to
research, but for the rest, professors
have to compete for the contracts with
factories, farms, etc. Hence, even the
best teachers started to care less about
their students, as the money for teach­ing
will be gotten anyway, and started to
search for more money in extension.
That also affected the research, replac­ing
the fundamental with the applied
one.
The students became our weakest
partners, as research can be measured
by published papers, extension by the
amount of money from contracts. Teach­ing
was not so easy. Even in the case of a
bad teacher, students mostly remained
quiet, in fear of the exam, just waiting to
pass it somehow and go on.
These are the causes of the problem,
but understanding them asks for more
effort in trial to solve them and cannot
be an excuse for bad teaching. That's
why the Yugoslav media are full of dis­cussions
similar to what is going on in
The Plainsman and the problem is
really universal, with Auburn just not
the exception.
Soon I'm going home, glad to know
that a Yugoslav problem is not the
exception, too.

Plain talk: Jesus' speech reflects ties
' L U K A N V O I C E ' P"otogr«phy= John Craft
Dawsey examines dialects, expressions in n ew book
By Jay Kempf
Staff Writer
The words of Jesus are not
meant to be taken literally in all
cases, according to Dr. James M.
Dawsey of the religion depart­ment.
The different dialects and
expressions in the New Testa­ment
Gospel of Luke are exam­ined
in a new book authored by
Dawsey. The book is titled, "The
Lukan Voice: Confusion and
Irony in the Gospel of Luke."
"My study on the Gospel of
Luke is not a commentary,"
Dawsey said. "It's a study on the
use of language — how the lan­guage
tells us something about
the characters of the story and
helps us understand better the
Gospels."
Just as any modern novelist,
ancient writers instilled person­a
l i t y into their characters
through the use of dialogue,
according to Dawsey. A modern
writer, for example, may have a
French character say, "Mon­sieur,"
to remind the reader that
the character is French.
"Ancient writers did the same
thing," Dawsey said. "More than
other books of the Bible, Luke
describes the people through
their language."
The language of Jesus is sim­ple,
reflecting his ties to the
common people, Dawsey said.
Jesus' language is distinctly dif­ferent
from that of his oppres­sors,
who spoke the language of
the upper classes. The more cul­tured
language of the priests
shows how separated they were
from the masses, Dawsey said.
Can we take the Bible literally?
"Well-- no," Dawsey said. "But I
don't want to upset my funda­mentalist
friends; so let me
explain."
"Jesus sbme-times
spoke
ironically."
—James M. Dawsey
In the sense of taking the Bible
literally, word for word, one
simply cannot, Dawsey said.
"Anytime you translate from one
language (ancient Greek) to
another (modern English), words
don't exactly correspond."
Also, corresponding words
may have different connotations
in different languages, Dawsey
said.
"All translations are an inter­pretation,"
Dawsey said. "Some­times
a Greek word will shade the
meaning of two different English
words, and you have to pick one
or the other."
There is at least one additional
context in which the words of
Jesus should not be taken liter­ally,
according to Dawsey.
"Jesus sometimes spoke ironi­cally
or made overstatements,"
Dawsey said.
For example, in Mark 9:43-47,
Jesus says to cut off your hand or
pluck out your eye if it causes you
to sin. "To take a passage like
' that literally, would be to misun­derstand,"
Dawsey said. "The
Bible is full of passages that
a r e n ' t meant to be taken
literally."
A further example shows Jesus
had a sense of humor. In provid­ing
background to the example,
Dawsey explained that the pur­pose
of Jesus' first coming was to
provide man a means of salva­tion;
he did not come as the war­rior
king many Jews were
expecting.
In Luke 22:36-38,Jesus told his
disciples the times were such that
they should sell their robes to buy
a sword if they didn't already
have one.
Peter exclaimed, "Lord, look,
here are two swords." Jesus'
reply, "It is enough," is laced with
irony according to Dawsey.
Dawsey said Jesus was aware
his disciples wanted him to be
more of a warrior. Satirically,
Jesus said that since they had
tried his way, he would do what
the disciples wanted and take up
swords to conquer the world,
according to Dawsey.
Peter produced two swords.
With tongue-in-cheek Jesus said,
"It is enough," as if to say that the
disciples could conquer the world,
armed only with two swords and
a desire to do so, according to.
Dawsey.
Dawsey explained that some
people mistakenly interpret that
passage as a call to arms.
In addition to his new book, the
assistant professor is the author
of numerous professional articles
and reviews. Dawsey is currently
at work on two other books.
Before joining the Auburn
faculty full-time in 1980, Dawsey
served as a United Methodist
minister. He had previously
served as a temporary instructor
at Auburn.
Dawsey received a bachelor's
degree in mathematics from Flor­ida
Southern College in 1970, a
master of divinity degree from
Emory University in 1973 and
his doctorate in religion and New
Testament studies form Emory in
1983.

Sorority collects
funds for charity
while highlighting
Auburn's men
By Amy Durkee
Staff Writer
The hottest guys on campus are
about to emerge. Alpha Xi Delta
held auditions for the 1987-1988
Men of Auburn Calendar.
Tryouts were Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday in Dorm 3.
This might seem early to be
starting on next year's calendar,
but there's a reason for it. The
sorority usually waits till winter
quarter to start on the calendar.
This year the group decided to
begin work on the calendar ear­lier
so that it will be printed and
in the stores by the end of spring
quarter. This way, the graduat­ing
seniors and the people who
come to Auburn for orientation
and summer quarter will have
access to the calendar, thus
increasing sales.
Nancy Bowman, senior and
business manager for the
calendar, said the first step in the
selection process is advertising
the tryouts.
Georgia-on.
The sprinklers on the fences
separating the field from the
stands were turned on to discour­age
additional people from enter­ing
the field.
"Students I have spoken to said
they feel the reason the situation
got out of hand was because
security was inadequate,"
Maund said.
Several Georgia fans told the
Birmingham Post-Herald there
was nothing preventing them
from running on the field.
"The Auburn officials did not
expect us to win, so there were not
very many security officials on
our side of the field," Georgia stu­dent
Mark Fore said.
The Post-Herald reported 38

Alpha Xi Delta members hung
banners, painted a window at
War Eagle Cafeteria and handed
out flyers this year to inform men
about the tryouts.
Last year about 160 men audi­tioned
for the calendar.
Any male may try out, regard­less
of age or whether he has been
in it before.
Bowman said that sorority
members preferred that the guys
in the calendar be at Auburn for
at least one quarter of the new
calendar year, although it is not a
requirement.

shirts if they wish.
After auditions the pictures are
developed, and the sisters vote on
all the applicants, rating them on
looks only. The scores are then
totaled and narrowed down to the
top 25, the bottom 12 being
semifinalists.
The cover is chosen from
among the top 13 in a penny drop.
Students vote for the man they
prefer by dropping pennies in a
jar at a concourse booth. The
remaining 12 men are the
months.
The 25 finalists and semifinal­ists
then meet with the sorority
sisters and discuss their final
photos which will be taken by a
professional photographer from
Atlanta during winter quarter.

the project for six years,

Open house to honor
Child Center's 60 years
By Stephanie Warnecke
Staff Writer
Newcomers to the University
probably wonder who those
children are running around,
shrieking and laughing, in the
yard next to the concourse.
They are the subject matter for
many of the Family and Child
Development courses.
The Child Study Center on
campus will celebrate its 60th
anniversary on Saturday, Nov.
22, with an open house and
baked-goods sale.
Sponsored by the Organization
of Professionals in Human
Development (OPHD), all pro­ceeds
will go to a scholarship
fund for low-income families,
unable to pay the Center tuition.
Aubie and some of the cheer­leaders
and football players will
be present at the "birthday
party," according to Laura
Grant, an officer in OPHD.
Although it will be geared
towards pre-schoolers in the pro­gram,
the entire community is
invited. The Center will be open
so interested parents can take a
look at University "celebrities."
The Center was founded in
1926 as a teaching and research
lab by the home economics
department, according to Jacque­line
Mize, director of the Center.
It was the first of its kind in the
South.
The Center moved into the
present building in 1939 and since
then the upstairs of the building
has been converted from a
women's dormitory to another
classroom, Mize said.
The function of the Center is
three-fold: teaching, research
and community service fulfilling
the function of any land grant
university, according to Mize.
There are eight courses requir­ing
some type of contact with the
children in the Center. Some are
lecture courses with lessons
involving the Center, and others
are solely hours spent in the Cen­ter
with no lecture hours or tests.
A child's admission to the Cen­ter
is contingent on the parents'
willingness to cooperate with the
investigations carried on in the
program. Theories studied in the
Center have included the effects
of parents' unemployment on
children, the effects of divorce
and growth norms (how big a
child should be by age 6, etc.).
There are no set requirements for
admission and several scholar­ships
are offered for families
needing financial aid, according
to Janice Grover, assistant direc­tor
of the Center and head
teacher of the preschool class.
The day is loosely structured to
give the child a chance to make
choices and take responsibilities
for his action, according to
Grover.
In the kindergarten class, for
4-5 year-olds, the children are
prepared for actual kindergarten.
As in the younger class, Univer­sity
students come in to work
with the children and also
observe them. The students are
uncertain at first, head teacher
Cil Herndon said, but soon they
establish special bonds with the
children. "The students are able
to bring their experiences into the
lab and share them with the
children."

If you plan to give a diamond this Christmas, now is the time for you to invest a little of your time
In learning a few basic facts regarding diamonds. Unless you have more money than time, you
can hardly afford the luxury of buyingadlamond without an understanding of diamond grading
and nricing.
For /FORTY ONE years Ware's Loose Diamond System has proven itself as an ideal
way to make one's diamond investment do its utmost to give the finest, most beautiful
diamond possible in a given price range.
How does it operate? We are Registered Jewelers of the American Gem Society. We not only
have all AGS equipment needed to accurately grade and weigh each diamond...our business
has been built on always giving the customer the time needed to assure they understand
what makes each diamond different...and why there are so many different prices, for the
same weight diamond. First you need a trained Jeweler, second you need a jeweler willing to
give you as much time as you will give him, so that you do properly understand how different
diamonds can be. We think we can qualify on both counts. We are trained...trained to
accurately grade every diamond...and it Is our absolute policy to never have a customer that
will ever feel rushed in,any way.
What about Ware's prices. Whenever we sell a diamond we give a certificate of
registration...Riving each customer a guarantee as to color, perfection, cut and weight.
Totalling all certificates for 1976 we found we had sold customers from 129 cities, in 21 states
a diamond in this one year. There were 37 from Birmingham, 19 from Montgomery, 11 from
Mobile and also 14 from Huntsvllle...do you think they would have purchased their diamond
from Ware's if they could have done better elsewhere?
What about the ring itself? Because the diamond represents the largest part of the total
investment we think the selection of the diamond is most important. Once you have
selected a Ware's diamond (from over 400 in all sizes and grades)...then the mounting
selection is the most important. Why not select a diamond from a jeweler that can offer you
all the leading designs of mountings.. .not just the basic few standard styles. Ware represents
the nation's leading style lines...Orange Blossom, Art Carved, Daina, Jabel, Advance. Ware
offers a jewelry manufacturing department in both stores that is unequaled in
Alabama...designers, diamond setters, jewelry manufacturers, hand engravers...all are on
Ware's staff. The entire "tailor made ring" can be done for you in either store...Uptown
Auburn or Village Mall., exactly as you "design" your own ring.
This is your Invitation to talk to .the trained experts at
investment you ever make.

Monolithos
Poet works in inefficient medium for adults' dreams
By Wendy Haught
Staff Writer
Jack Gilbert, a poet who says
he is too selfish to let a career
interfere with his chance to
"live," left America when he dis­covered
fame "wasn't that
rewarding."
He visited Auburn Nov. 3 and
read his poetry to a rapt audience
of students and professors in an
intimate gathering at Pebblehill.
Gilbert was living in Greece
when he wrote Monolithos,the
only 1982 poetry collection nomi­nated
for all three major book
awards: The National Book Cri­tics
Award, the American Book
Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
Gilber
