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 story on B-9. IG L JOF 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. KICKED OUT Phi Delts no longer recognized fraternity Photography: Rugs Austin They have some good guys. There was no where to turn because everything had been tried. "When somebody nearly dies, you draw the line." Phi Delta Theta had been reprimanded in September 1985 for violating IFC dry rush regulations. In May 1985, the Committee on Fraternities and Sororities voted to ask for withdrawal of the Phi Delta Theta charter if its national office failed to submit a suitable plan of See Phi Delts, A-12 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.

The panel will also formulate an appropriate response to both schools, he said. The University went accord ing to plans for crowd-control," Michael Hubbard, assistant sports information director, said.

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. Bill,Veteran Educational Assistance Program and others according to the financial aid office in Mary Martin Hall.

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."

No other chapter in Alabama has received the superior chapter award more than four times in the same seven-year period. The Society of Physics Students is one of 37 chapters which have been designated as "Outstanding SPS Chapters for 1985-86." The awards were originated in 1978 to give recognition to student chapters for their work in the promotion of physics and are based on a variety of chapter activities.

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.

Their goal:To protect the health If students, faculty members and Itaff — and of all others who tome here. They also help the 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.

The preacher and his wife, Sister Cindy, were featured in a March 1986 issue of Rolling Stone. They visit dozens of campuses yearly. By Donette Perkins Staff Writer 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. "We play about 30 percent of the top-40 albums," Brantley said. "Groups aren't making albums like they used to. Now their albums are geared toward the commercialized top-40 stations more. "The group Boston has the top album played at the University of Alabama and the Alabama University of Birmingham. We don't •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 See Budget, A-12 Fund Sources for AU Budget, 1985-86 Federal appropriations iGrifts, grants, contracts 11.63% Source: Executive Vice President George Emert 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." I1 A-4 £br Auburn Blatnsman Thursday, November 20, 1986 ©e^uburnHainsiiran Chris Roush, Editor Tommy L. Wofford, Business Manager Volume 93 Number 8 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. Chris Roush is editor of The Plainsman. 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!)

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.

You cannot get to Birmingham with In empty gas tank. You cannot go into a Itore and charge something without laving a credit card. You cannot get a Jiploma without completing the |equired courses. Okay, okay, we get the picture. Do you tave a point? Why yes, I do. Thanks for asking. My point is this: you cannot get something 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? Art Belliveau is a staff writer of The Plainsman. Letters T^r* 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 EA GLS thanks writer's letter PLAINSMAN DEADLINES [CAMPUS CALENDAR ^CLASSIFIED ADS DISPLAY ADS LETTERS TO EDITOR LETTERS TO SPORTS EDITOR TUES MON5 TUES 11 FRI5 MON5 p.m. a.m. p.m. p.m. English prof 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. Dwight St. John English Department Editor's note: This newspaper regrets the misconceptions created by the errors in the story. It is the policy of The Plainsman to correct all errors of fact. . « • - . . > I 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. Ross W. Ballard 04AMH Secretary/Treasurer of EAGLS Editor's note: The preceding letter had the first name of the president of EAGLS typed with Ballard's. A last name or curriculum was not included. possible to this effort. The Books for Ralph Campaign has a great deal of potential, but it can only be fully realized with the complete cooperation of the student body. If anyone has further questions, would like for their organization to be involved, or is in an organization which does not receive a letter, please contact me at 826-4240. David McCalman 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. > Woody Fairley 04AMN 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. David Halperin 01 PN 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? Robert P. Walker Associate Professor Textile Engineering 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! Frank Knowles 09CED f* Chr9uburn Plainsman Thursday, November 20,1986 •More Letters Investigate truth through Christianity fc -the go^ernonert turns... Georgia fans owe us apology I Editor, The Plainsman: I • 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. ghts broke out and police arrested ns as all hell broke loose. Perhaps i f s ^propriate that the officials had io ••• ater the Bulldogs down with the field's irrigation system to chase them off the ield But the image stuck in our minds and ruined the night for us, having to ••vatch helplessly as our playing field was shamelessly defaced by uncaring iend unthinkable fans. 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. RobHarrell 04GEH Editor's note: The subject of atheism and Christian beliefs has been a hot topic and The Plainsman has received many letters on this. However, we feel this topic has been run into the ground and The Plainsman will not print any more letters on this field. 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.

A.-8 Qtt\t Auburn Slanuiman Thursday, November 20, 1986 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. ..is Auburn's newest gift shop located right in the middle of downtown Auburn ...is as modern as today with jelly bellies, jams and gourmet food items ...is in touch with college life with sorority gifts, night shirts, sweat shirts, picture frames and stationary ...is filled with unique country gifts such as baskets, potpourri, antiques, bears, candles and other country accessories L Open Mon-Fri Sat 108 N.

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 • Photography: RUBS Austin STUD OF THE MONTH Students auditioning for "Men of Auburn" Calendar are rated on looks only The audition consists of the continued from A-IS . . . arrests and two minor injures^; Several police officers were" reportedly bruised from throws-objects. *• Martin apologized to "all the*; innocent people who were adver-1 • sely affected in any way because" • of the use of the sprinkler sys*t tern."

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. men paying a $5 fee, filling out a picture release form and being photographed in four different poses. They may take off their 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. Alpha Xi Delta, who has sponsored the project for six years, donates all of the money raised from the calendar to the American Lung Association and the East Alabama Home for Battered.

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." WA CHECK IT OUT!

OCR Transcript | Position by position comparison of upcoming Alabama game, see B-1 Qlbe^uburn Plainsman Ninety-three years of serving Auburn students Some villain hath done me wrong. —Shakespeare Volume 93 Number 8 Thursday, November 20, 1986 Auburn University, Ala. 36849 26 pages 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 story on B-9. IG L JOF 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.

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.

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.

VA regulations say that if the Nobel winner Weisel speaks on indifference Campus Front Classified Ads Bloom County Editorials Entertainment Sports A-3 A-6, A-7 B-13 A-4 B-9 B-l By Wendy Haught Staff Writer 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.

Their goal:To protect the health If students, faculty members and Itaff — and of all others who tome here. They also help the 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.

By Donette Perkins Staff Writer 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. "We play about 30 percent of the top-40 albums," Brantley said. "Groups aren't making albums like they used to. Now their albums are geared toward the commercialized top-40 stations more. "The group Boston has the top album played at the University of Alabama and the Alabama University of Birmingham. We don't •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 See Budget, A-12 Fund Sources for AU Budget, 1985-86 Federal appropriations iGrifts, grants, contracts 11.63% Source: Executive Vice President George Emert 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." I1 A-4 £br Auburn Blatnsman Thursday, November 20, 1986 ©e^uburnHainsiiran Chris Roush, Editor Tommy L. Wofford, Business Manager Volume 93 Number 8 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.

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. Chris Roush is editor of The Plainsman. 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!)

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.

You cannot get to Birmingham with In empty gas tank. You cannot go into a Itore and charge something without laving a credit card. You cannot get a Jiploma without completing the |equired courses. Okay, okay, we get the picture. Do you tave a point? Why yes, I do. Thanks for asking. My point is this: you cannot get something 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? Art Belliveau is a staff writer of The Plainsman. Letters T^r* 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 EA GLS thanks writer's letter PLAINSMAN DEADLINES [CAMPUS CALENDAR ^CLASSIFIED ADS DISPLAY ADS LETTERS TO EDITOR LETTERS TO SPORTS EDITOR TUES MON5 TUES 11 FRI5 MON5 p.m. a.m. p.m. p.m. English prof 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. Dwight St. John English Department Editor's note: This newspaper regrets the misconceptions created by the errors in the story. It is the policy of The Plainsman to correct all errors of fact. . « • - . . > I 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. Ross W. Ballard 04AMH Secretary/Treasurer of EAGLS Editor's note: The preceding letter had the first name of the president of EAGLS typed with Ballard's. A last name or curriculum was not included. possible to this effort. The Books for Ralph Campaign has a great deal of potential, but it can only be fully realized with the complete cooperation of the student body. If anyone has further questions, would like for their organization to be involved, or is in an organization which does not receive a letter, please contact me at 826-4240. David McCalman 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. > Woody Fairley 04AMN 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. David Halperin 01 PN 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? Robert P. Walker Associate Professor Textile Engineering 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! Frank Knowles 09CED f* Chr9uburn Plainsman Thursday, November 20,1986 •More Letters Investigate truth through Christianity fc -the go^ernonert turns... Georgia fans owe us apology I Editor, The Plainsman: I • 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. ghts broke out and police arrested ns as all hell broke loose. Perhaps i f s ^propriate that the officials had io ••• ater the Bulldogs down with the field's irrigation system to chase them off the ield But the image stuck in our minds and ruined the night for us, having to ••vatch helplessly as our playing field was shamelessly defaced by uncaring iend unthinkable fans. 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. RobHarrell 04GEH Editor's note: The subject of atheism and Christian beliefs has been a hot topic and The Plainsman has received many letters on this. However, we feel this topic has been run into the ground and The Plainsman will not print any more letters on this field. 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.

A.-8 Qtt\t Auburn Slanuiman Thursday, November 20, 1986 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. ..is Auburn's newest gift shop located right in the middle of downtown Auburn ...is as modern as today with jelly bellies, jams and gourmet food items ...is in touch with college life with sorority gifts, night shirts, sweat shirts, picture frames and stationary ...is filled with unique country gifts such as baskets, potpourri, antiques, bears, candles and other country accessories L Open Mon-Fri Sat 108 N.

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 • Photography: RUBS Austin STUD OF THE MONTH Students auditioning for "Men of Auburn" Calendar are rated on looks only The audition consists of the continued from A-IS . . . arrests and two minor injures^; Several police officers were" reportedly bruised from throws-objects. *• Martin apologized to "all the*; innocent people who were adver-1 • sely affected in any way because" • of the use of the sprinkler sys*t tern."

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. men paying a $5 fee, filling out a picture release form and being photographed in four different poses. They may take off their 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. Alpha Xi Delta, who has sponsored the project for six years, donates all of the money raised from the calendar to the American Lung Association and the East Alabama Home for Battered.

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." WA CHECK IT OUT!
