Vigil purpose two-fold when
request denied by University
By Bret Pippen
News Editor
A group of 12 students and
faculty sat in silent vigil Tuesday
night in front of the Eagle's Cage
to protest what Leigh Burkey, 04
CSW, called "a gross violation of
our constitutional rights."
The Auburn Alliance for Peace
and Justice's original purpose
was to protest U.S. aid to the Con­tra
rebels in Nicaragua and for
humanitarian aid to the Nicara-guan
people.
The group is part of the Student
Mobilization for Peace in Nica­ragua,
which sponsored fasts

Burkey (center), Long (right) lead camp out
and protests at approximately 35
campuses across the nation,
according to Mark Long, 06 PO.
The original purpose of the pro­test
became two-fold, when
Assistant Dean of Students
Grant Davis denied the group's
camp-out request saying the open
air forum could only be used by
the group between 9 a.m. and 4:30
p.m. Monday through Friday and
from 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Satur­day
and Sunday. The letter also
stated that if the group wanted to
camp out then it could move to
t h e entrance of Memorial
Coliseum.
Long said the protest was an
act of civil disobedience and that
not all of the 50 fasters were par­ticipating.
He said the three-day
fast, begun Monday, was to raise
consciousness and send a mes­sage
to Nicaragua.
The group has threatened a

for the camp out to Davis,"
Long said. "Then we appealed to

Trustees approve housing bonds
By Bret Pippen
News Editor
MONTGOMERY - A resolu­tion
authorizing the issuance of
$24.1 million in Housing and
Revenue Bonds by the University
was approved by the Board of
Trustees at its Feb. 18 meeting at
the Auburn campus here.
The Board had given prelimi­nary
approval of the resolution at
its Dec. 8, 1986, meeting.
According to Fowler Dugger of
University Relations, $6 million
from the bond sales will be used
in the $9.4 million construction of
three dormitories, designed to
hold 600 spaces, on P.O. Davis
Drive. The other $3.4 million is
coming from the University's
housing fund.
Dugger said approximately $15
million will be used in renovation
of 6 of the 12 Quad dorms and all
of the Hill dorms.
See related story, A-3
The approximately $3 million
left will be used for paying back
the bonds, Dugger said.
President James E. Martin
said no taxpayers' money would
be used to pay back the bonds.
The income will be generated by
the students living in the dorms.
The construction of the dorms
will replace the approximately
1,036 spaces lost with the closing'
of Bullard, Alumni and Magnolia
halls.
The renovation projects and
the construction are expected to
be completed by August 1989,
according to the A U Report.

Dorm renovations to cause changes
By Kirsten Schlichting
Technical Editor
University housing will be
going through major changes in
the upcoming year with construc­tion
replacing destruction.
The Hill Dorms A, B, C and D
will close at the end of spring
quarter 1987 for renovations and
will reopen fall quarter 1988,
Director of Housing Gail
McCullers announced last week.
"The plan is for all the Univer­sity
residence halls to be reno­vated
over a four-year period,"
McCullers said. The renovations
include removal of all asbestos,
installation of new ceilings, new
plumbing, mechanical and elec­trical
systems, improved fire
alarms and smoke detectors, new
windows, doors and locks and
exterior security lights. The con­crete
facings on the front of the
dorms will also be removed and
replaced, she said.
McCullers said the dorms will
be repainted once the renova­tions
are complete. The housing
office will eventually be reno­vated
also, she said. The Quad
Dorms will be renovated last
because they do not contain
asbestos.
"We are very excited about
these changes," McCullers said.
"They will enhance the concept of
on-campus residential life."
In addition to the closing of the
four Hill Dorms, Magnolia Hall
will be closed after spring quarter
1987, but will not be reopened;
instead, it and Bullard Hall will
be torn down and new academic
buildings will be constructed on
the site.
The closing of the five dorms
will result in the loss of 840 spa­ces
which McCullers said will
result in fewer spaces for new
students, with priority being
given to those students who have
lived in the dorms before. "We
want to stress that we're not
throwing anyone out on the
street," she said.
"Over the past several years,
we (housing) have lost 600 spa­ces,"
McCullers said. When Bul­lard
Hall was closed 500 spaces
were lost and about 100 spaces
were lost when Alumni Hall was
closed last year, she said.
The renovations are being paid
for through a $24 million bond
issue, McCullers said.
"The bond is a major contribu­tion
to the renovation," she said.
"Some of that money plus some of
housing's own money will be
used to construct new dorms."
Construction of three or four
new dorms to be located on Davis
Drive, across from Hill Dorms J
and K, will probably begin in the
fall of this year, McCullers said.
The dorms will house males and
females separately and will pro­vide
600 spaces, which will "pro­vide
catch-up spaces for all the

77-75. Morris finished the game with 12
points, while Farmer paced the Tide with his
long shots. State ACT scores are highest increase
By Laurie Elway
Staff Writer
Alabama continues an uphill
battle in education although a
recent announcement by the U.S.
Education Department says the
average ACT (American College
Test) scores of Alabama students
increased more than the scores of
students in any other state since
1982.
According to The Birmingham
Post-Herald, the increase of one
full point — from 17.2 to 18.2 — in
the last four years moved Ala­bama
from 26th place to 19th
among the 28 states that use the
ACT. The 1986 national average
score was 18.8 out of 36 possible
points. Willic.m Bennett, U.S.
education secretary, said "Ala­bama's
test score continued to
rise last year at a rate faster than
the national average."
College of Education Dean
Jack Blackburn, said, "The
improvement in test scores is an
encouraging sign resulting from
a trend toward improving the
quality of education at all levels.
Efforts at the local level by
teachers, parents and adminis­trators,
needed reforms initiated
by the Alabama Department of
Education and strong support
from the governor's office have-all
played a part in this
improvement."
Blackburn commented that
"there is a lot to be said for the job
our state teacher education pro­grams
have done in preparing
better teachers." He said the five-year
teacher program which is
now being put together will con­tinue
this trend.
Blackburn outlined three spe­cific
areas of improvement.
The first he called "plans for
excellence." Although it has not
been implemented statewide, it
calls for higher high school gra­duation
requirements, more
math and science classes and
foreign language •
The second improvement, he
said, is stressing more classroom
instruction. Blackburn said,
extracurricular events should be
scheduled after the school day
-has ended,-net during class time.
More homework is the third
improvement. "We need more
emphasis on learning," Black­burn
said.
The major trend toward
improving teachers has occurred
in the last "six or seven years"
Blackburn said. Requirements
for entrance in the University's
program include a minimum
ACT score. Blackburn com­mented
that prior to 1979 some
colleges did not require a min­imum
test score. Grade point
average and the results of a lan­guage
proficiency test are taken
into consideration as well. Dean
Blackburn attributes better col­lege
graduates to the "more
highly qualified students" enter­ing
the program.
Gov. Guy Hunt praised
teachers and students in the state
for hard work after hearing about
the improved test scores. As
reported in The Post-Herald,
Hunt said, "Our teachers and
administrators and parents cer­tainly
should be commended as
should the students who work so
hard in spite of the fact that we
are still 50th in the nation per
pupil spending.
"We are working hard to con­tinue
to improve education in

What's Inside
Basketball seating
Some students have complained
this year about the seating at home
basketball games. Seating at home
games has been changed in the last
several years to accommodate the
scholarship program. Faculty seat­ing
has been moved twice, once
because students stood up in front
of them, blocking their view. For an
analysis of basketball seating, see
A-3.
Trendy Salaries
According to J. Ford Laumer, if you
want to compete in today's market
it takes communication and

skills. According
to a report pub­lished
by Michi­gan

War Eagle VI wings new job
By J o h n Burnum
Staff Writer
Golden eagles were once
trained by Russian herdsmen to
kill timber wolves, but War Eagle
VI, Auburn's official mascot, has
a slightly different job, according
to Bart Winkler, acting head
trainer and member of Alpha Phi
Omega fraternity.
"We teach her to sit on a glove,
to come when called, to keep her
wings spread for appearance and
to let people pet her," he said.
Since Oct. 8,1986, when Alpha
Phi Omega obtained her free
from a raptor (birds of prey)
rehabilitation clinic at Land
Between the Lakes, Kentucky,
the members have been trying to
accustom her to crowds and
noise, Winkler said.
The 11-pound female golden
eagle is the sixth mascot Auburn
has had since War Eagle I
became the unofficial first one in
1892, he said. Supposedly, War
Eagle I, a private pet of a Civil
War veteran, helped spur a late
rally by Auburn against rival
Georgia's football team. The bird
circled the field and crashed to
the ground, dead, as the game
ended.
War Eagle II was the first offi­cial
mascot of Auburn and was
sponsored by the A Club, Winkler
said. During the Depression the
club was forced to give her to a
passing carnival because its
members were unable to care for
her.
War Eagle III was mascot from
1960-1963, until he got loose on a
trip to Birmingham and got shot,
Winkler said. War Eagle IV died
of gall bladder problems in 1979
after 15 years of service. War
Eagle V died of an aneurysm of
the spleen in September 1986.
"Most people get the idea that
eagles are fierce birds, but Tiger
isn't going to attack anybody,"
Winkler said. "Of course, she
might get overanxious for food
and nip a trainer, but that's never
happened. Besides; VI is a lot
more well-mannered than V
was."
"One time we left V in the book
exchange for awhile," Kenneth
Hamilton, A Phi O bookkeeper
said, "and when we got back she
had really gotten into things. She |

was obviously hungry and look­ing
for food; she made a mess."
All eagle mascots since War
Eagle III have been cared for by
Alpha Phi Omega, Winkler said.
The 40-member national service
fraternity sells football seat
cushions, personalized pictures
of Tiger, manages a book
exchange in Foy Union and col­lects
private donations to keep up
with the bird's $4,000 yearly
maintenance costs.
"We need money," Winkler
said. "Students and most Alumni
don't realize that we receive abso­lutely
no money from the athletic
department for care of War Eagle
VI. If more people knew, I'm sure
we could get more help."
One costly project concerning
the Eagle's Cage between Haley
Center and Parker Hall is in the
planning, he said. The right front
support pole is bowing and might
break if not repaired. In 1974, the
front left pole broke and col­lapsed
the cage, which would
have killed War Eagle IV if sh<
had been in there at the time. Th<
pole will cost $2,700 to replace.
In addition to daily life in th<
cage, Auburn's mascot has mad<
187 appearances in the past nine
months, Winkler said. "We spen
two weeks at the Internationa
Boy Scouts' Jamboree, went t(
the Children's Hospital in Bir
mingham and Wesley Terraa
nursing home in Auburn. We gt
to lots of grade schools to educate
the children about eagles, all o:
which are illegal to hunt in th(
United States."
Eagles are found all over the
world: from the Arctic Circle to
Mexico and Russia, Winkler said.
Alabama has the second largest
eagle population in the United
States, behind Alaska.
The most visible job of the
eagle has been to appear at foot­ball
games, he said. The late
acquisition of War Eagle VI
wasn't enough time to aquaint
her with crowd noise.

Student activities want their
cut, a percentage not flat fee
By David Sharp
Staff Writer
The student senate unanim­ously
passed a resolution Mon­day
night to make student activi­ties
fees a percentage of tuition
instead of the current flat rate
that has been in effect since 1980.
The resolution is a recommen­dation
by the senate's Budget
and Finance (B&F) Committee
and has been recommended to be
put on a spring referendum,
according to B&F Committee
Chairman Hal Finney.
Finney said the resolution is an
expression of student sentiment,
and would require action by the
University Board of Trustees to
become enacted.
The resolution, which was
drawn up by Finney and
approved by the B&F Committee,
recommends student activity fees
be changed to a percentage of tui­tion
because, while student activ­ities
projects are suffering from
Disposable
cameras
new craze
By Allison Bishop
Features Editor
Disposable cameras have hit
the shutter bug's market looking
more like the prize in a Cap'n
Crunch box than a real camera.
The "Hot Shot" mini camera,
which K-Mart introduced in the
area about two months ago, has
already sold 200 units. It costs
$4.97, uses any brand of 110 film
and is re-usable.
Shirley Cousins, photo depart­ment
manager, said that all ages
of people are buying the camera.
"I think they're fascinated with
how little they are," she said.
The camera has a flip-up view
finder, a simple lens, a manual
film advance and a shutter
release — and that's about it. The
film cartridge makes up the
mass.
Cousins said the prints turn out
"pretty good," however, she
added, you have to hold the
camera very still and shoot in
outdoor light since it has no
flash. "I was really shocked how
well this worked," she said.
Julie Ezell, 03 PB, bought one
of the "Hot Shots" because she
thought it would be fun. "I just
bought it for the heck of it," she
said. "I have a 35mm that I'm
addicted to, but this looked like
fun."
Kelly Johnson, 01 PRS, said
her photographs taken with the
"Hot Shot" are "terrible." They
are blurred and dark because of
the dual handicap of the lack of a
flash and the placement of the
shutter release.
The release button is at the
back of the camera facing the
photographer. When it is pressed,
a conscious effort must be made
to hold the camera still.
Both Eastman Kodak Co. and
Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. have
announced their own versions of
the mini camera in disposable
form to be introduced this year.
Kodak said they will be charging
$6.95 for their Kodak Fling and
Fuji said their mini-camera will
be "less than $10."
After shooting only one of roll
film, the complete unit is returned
to the developer, but the camera
unit is not returned.
Kodak spokesman Henry
Kaska told the Associated Press
that they expect the camera to
"appeal to young people and to
travelers who left their cameras
at home."
"I don't think you'll get a very
good image," Robet Thompson,
manager of Cameragraphics II
in Auburn, said. "It's sort of a
gimmick, it'll probably be around
for awhile then people will get
tired of it."
Manager of Photo One of
Auburn, Hugh Mims, said he will
probably carry a few of the
Kodak cameras. He said "I
haven't thought of it" because he
was not familiar with it.
Cousins said the "Hot Shot"
should be competitive with the
Kodak and Fuji cameras. "It will
be using the same type film."
"When people come in they
think it's one of the disposable
ones," Cousins said. "They want
to know how it works, how to get
the film in it."
inflation, available funds are less
this year than the two preceding
years.
It also states that base tuition
has increased 57 percent from
$240 in 1980 to $420 spring quar­ter,
but student activities fees
have remained the same flat rate
of $8 per full-time student during
the same period.
However, Finney said it will
take more than a resolution to
push the University's adminis­tration
and Board of Trustees to
action. The project directors and
the student senate "must unite to
express their discontent of the
situation," he said.
SGA Vice President John
Irwin said, "The students aren't
getting a fair return on their
investment. This is the last year
we can go on this system without
impairing the projects."
"I would like to see us and the
faculty get together on this,"
Irwin said.
Executive Vice President
George H. Emert said Tuesday
afternoon, "There is no question
that the cost of supporting these
projects has increased. I can
appreciate the problem, but I
don't know the solution."
He said the resolution is "a very
serious subject and should be
given serious attention." How­ever,
Emert said he wants the
students to realize the University
is in an "extreme" financial cri­sis.
"All of our programs are
operating under the strictest
financial control," he said. .
"The University has approxi­mately
$15 million less than last
year," Emert said. He said this is
the result of the University losing
about 15 percent of state alloca­tions
in the last year.
We are all a part of the Auburn
family, Emert said, and we
should work together to find a
solution to this problem.
"To comment further," Emert
said, "would be less than approp­riate"
at this point. He did say the

administration would research
the subject and respond to the
SGA later.
SGA President Robert Maund
said he discussed the issue with
President James E. Martin last
fall and is awaiting feedback
from the administration.
The SGA began discussing the
problem after the officers began
their terms last spring, he said.
He said the issue was one of his
platforms when he ran for office.
"I'm glad to see this idea gain­ing
momentum," Maund said. "I
hope to see it implemented in the
near future."
In other business, the student
senate approved two appoint­ments.
Dimity Lee, 03 GEH, was
appointed director of student
lobby. Lee, a transfer student
from the University of Alabama
last quarter, will represent Uni­versity
interests as a lobbyist for

dorms have their rights to sleep.
(Monday) was the first time I
knew about the request. They
came in to talk to me and within
three or four minutes into the
conversation, I was threatened
with a lawsuit."
University Police Chief Jack
Walton said the protestors would
either be arrested or sent before
the Student Disciplinary Commit­tee.
The group layed down its tar­paulin
at 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, and
it was approximately 11 p.m.
when University Police Sgt. Mike
Carroll asked them to leave.
"Failure to disassemble," he
said, "will result in criminal tres­pass,
and I don't think anybody
wants to get arrested."
The temperature had fallen to
approximately 33 degrees with
rain threatening, when Univer­sity
police officers David Bowen
and David Magbee arrived at 1
a.m. Wednesday and recorded all
of the protestors' ID numbers.
The officers would not com­ment
on what the numbers would
be used for or what the actions of
the University would be.
Dr. Michael Urban, a professor
in political science, said the Uni­versity's
actions were analagous
to the Soviet Union.
"I support these students in
their efforts," Urban said. "They
have something to say, and they
have to stand up and take the
risks."
Urban said he was concerned
of retribution from the Univer­sity,-
but he said, "There are cer­tain
things that you have to do
because you have convictions."
Urban said he is tenured.
A group' of eight counter-protestors
arrived with signs that
read, "Fund Democracy, no
Marxism — Support the Freedom
Fighters" and "Peace yes, Paci­fism
no." - * . . ... ...
"They should not be allowed to

Committee hears student protests about seating
By Chris Roush
Editor
Although the basketball sea­son
may be winding down, stu-.
dent grumbling about the seating
at home games has been heard.
Present faculty seating in
Memorial Coliseum contains 842
seats in sections 12 thru 14 and
16. Student seating is contained
in sections 1 thru 21 and includes
part of section 40 and is approxi­mately
45 percent of the seating
in the coliseum.
Dr. Jane B. Moore, professor of
health, physical education and
recreation, said the problem
began when the Athletic Com­mittee,
which she is a member of,
decided to move the faculty seat­ing
several years ago from the
reserved seating area over to the
student's side in Memorial Coli­seum.
The faculty seating in
effect was being swapped
because of the expanded scholar­ship
seating.
"We are sensitive to things that
concern the people we have any­thing
to do with," Moore said.
"We did the best we could consid­ering
the needs for the students,
faculty and the scholarship
people.
"The students have in fact
gained seats. The athletic
department has given the stu­dents
part of sections 40,1 and 2
behind the goal and gone around
to the other goal as far as the stu­dents
needed," Moore added.
"The most desirable seats, nat­urally,
are those down on the
floor where the faculty now sits,"
Moore said.
"I have viewed it from every
angle," said Claude Gossett,
chairman of the University
senate," and there's almost not a
bad seat unless you get under one
of the rails. Being up to me is bet­ter
than being down on the floor."
Several years ago the scholar­ship
program seating was con­tained
on the students' side.
There was a fixed number of
seats, unlike in the football sta­dium,
Moore said. The question
arose, Moore said, about what
they were going to do when more
seats would need to be added to
the scholarship section.
Moore said, "We had faculty in
sections 32 and 33. In order to
expand the scholarship program,
we decided to do a mirror move of
the faculty and moved them
across the floor." The faculty was
then contained in sections 9 and
10.
Students were given off-setting
seats in sections 1 and 2. There
had been requests, Moore said, to
get students closer to the court.
"We based that on the premise
that we could free up seats for
scholarships in the reserved sec­tion
as the program expanded."
Moore emphasized that SGA
presidents have been involved in
this process for the past three
years.
The reason for the scholarship
program in the first place, said radio time, more television spots a ripple effect into other pro-
Moore, is to help the coaches and for advertisement, more scholar- grams," Moore said,
the athletic department do some ship dollars and more money for "When we made this move,"
of the things they felt were impor- recruitment. "We all benefit in a Moore said, "the thing we did not
tant to have a good basketball scholarship program in terms of v a t A a
program. This included more quality of our program and it has oee o e a t , A-9

Donahue Drive to get face lift
By Colleen White
Staff Writer
Roc Traffic can be ugly in Auburn,
rcc but because of the efforts of an
Atlanta alumnus, the drive
a« might be beautiful.
8 . Felix Cochran, a 1955 indus-
<-. -. trial management graduate and
.!. . owner ofCochran Properties Inc.,
has financed a study by an
Atlanta landscape architectural
;->•.; firm to transform a mile-long
stretch of South Donahue Drive
,.-. into a tree-lined scenic drive.
Franzman/Davis and Asso-
: dates designed the master land­scaping
theme which includes
ei three different stages to create a
• three-tiered arrangement of
plants.
According to Physical Plant
Director Stanley Drake, the pro­ject
should be completed in Feb-
- ruary 1989.
He said the first stage includes
-..- a line of sycamores and tulip
poplars planted within the next
) i two weeks. According to Drake,
•. these trees cost about $7,000,
donated by Cochran.
Next year, Drake said, the
*.- University plans to plant dog-fa
- wood and red bud trees under the
". sycamores and poplars. The fol­lowing
year the University plans
to plant azaleas under the dog­woods
and redbuds.
Cochran has also commis­sioned
Franzman/Davis and
Associates to work on proposals
for a gate at the South Donahue
Drive and College Street
intersection.
Charles Franzman, president
of Franzman/Davis and Asso­ciates,
said his company is wait­ing
for the engineering informa­tion
on the project. The design
will then be proposed to the
Board of Trustees.
According to Cochran, "We
want to give a sense of identity to
the campus by building gates."
He said the Toomer's Corner
area has always been the main
gate, but "We want to see the
campus have a front door that
looks like Harvard or Yale," and
gives visitors "a sense of arrival
and quality."
He said he would like to see
gates at two or three other loca­tions,
each communicating a dif­ferent
sense of arrival.
On the same stretch of South
Donahue Drive, roadway light­ing
will be installed by Sep­tember
1987, according to Miles
Ward, district engineer for Dis­trict
3 of the state Highway
Department.
Ward said the department
should receive the materials
within two months, and the work
should begin in May.
According to Drake, "The Uni­versity
contributed $25,000, and
the state provided the balance"
for the 40-foot, dark bronze lights.
Drake said they have coordi­nated
the tree plan with the light­ing
plan, and the work will not
interfere with traffic.
Drake added that Cochran is
paying for a comprehensive plan
to renovate and develop Samford
Park.
"Mr. Cochran's idea is to
encourage other alumni to do
what he is doing," he said. The
Physical Plant has "a responsi­bility
to provide the vehicle by
which the alumni can partici­pate."
Earlier, Cochran donated the
oak trees on Thach Avenue.
"Auburn means a lot to me,"
Cochran said. When he came
back to Auburn about five years
ago for a football game, he
noticed "something was mis­sing."
"In Atlanta," he says, "there is
a wealth of trees."
He then helped devise and
finance a tree-planting master
plan involving the landscaping
of 20 streets.
Cochran said he wants the
plan to be "a participatory sort of
thing" in which different classes
can be involved. He explains that
perhaps the class of 1965 could
plant a row of oaks on one street,
another class could plant a row of
sycamores on a different street,
etc. "In 10 to 15 years you'll love
it," he said.
Drake said to "create a better
frame of mind for the students,"
the University is planning for the
beautification and lighting of the
concourse area between Haley
Center and Parker Hall.

Ask business professor Dr. J.
Ford Laumer what it takes to
compete in today's job market
and he'll give you a quick answer
— communication and decision
making skills, and the experts
will tell you the same thing.
Recruiting Trends 1986-87, a
report published by the Michigan
State University Placement Ser­vices
under the direction of John
Shingleton and Dr.L. Patrick
Sheetz, is a survey of 761 Ameri­can
businesses and institutions
employing new college gradu­ates.
The M.S.U. placement offi­ces
work year round compiling
the annual report.
Some of the facts they came up
with might surprise some of the
expected one million students to
be graduating by fall of this year.
According to the report, an appli­cant's
grade point average is only
"sometimes" indicative of future
job success. The only factor that
"almost always" relates to grade
point average is analytical think­ing.
Social skills, on the other
hand, are regarded as the most
important element a new
employee's future success.
Larry Long, University's
Placement coordinator said that
whether a graduate gets hired
depends on how he sells himself.
In an article in The Birmingham
News, University of Alabama
Director of Career Services Bev­erly
Brewer agreed, saying that
job applicants must know "how
to market their degree."
Across the nation, hiring is
expected to decrease by 2.4 per­cent
although Southeastern
states should see only a 2 percent
decline.The Northeast region is
the only region with an expected
increase, with a 7.8 percent pro-

are two things to which a suc­cessful
job search boils down —
self-image and self-esteem. A

tools used to get an interview. It's
in the interview that an appli­cant's

When asked how Auburn
graduates stack up against other
universities, Long said "great."
"I get 505 businesses a year that
come looking for our graduates."

show that Auburn graduates

At a speech given in Foy Union
on Tuesday, Daniel J. Nelson,
associate professor of political
science, stressed U.S. participa­tion
in the United Nations is
"still a neccessity because of the
complex problems facing the
world." He said global interac­tion
is the only thing that will
work.
Nelson said there are many
misconceptions of the United
Nations. "People tend to beleive
that the United Nations aims to
become a world government," he
said. "When formed in 1945,
nobody wanted that and eve­ryone
still doesn't," Nelson said.
This has excluded the Third
World nations from its for­mation.
"The United Nations is a place
where nations can argue and
shout as well as work construc­tively
to solve problems," he said.
Nelson feels another misre­presentation
is that the United
Nations is a Communist-dominated
organization. "Some
think it's a conspiracy. In actual­ity
it is a parallel of interests
because of a common interest,"
Nelson said.
The United States has less
than 20 percent of the vote in the
United Nations, and is in a vot­ing
coalition with the Third
World countries. Nelson said this
may be where the idea of commu­nism
is derived.
He said, "People also think the
United Nations spreads commu­nism
or anti-American initia­tives."
Whether it is spread has
nothing to do with the United
Nations, he said. "Major spying
doesn't happen around the Uni­ted
Nations because there aren't
any big secrets there, there's
nothing to be found," he said.
"The problem in the U.S.
government is with its citizens
who sell secrets to the Soviets, its
our problem to deal with inter­nally
— possibly through public
policy," Nelson said.
The negative attitude toward
the United Nations is because the
United States does not dominate
as it had in the '60s, Nelson said.
"This puts us in a very uncomfor­table
setting because we are a
minority in the rest of the world,"
he said. "The United Nations
brings this reality home to our
doorstep everyday," Nelson said.
Nelson said the United States
is having trouble articulating
problems to the Third World
countries. "They have a constant
fervor of revolt, this and our dif­ferences
make it difficult to
understand one another," he
said.
"We seem out-of-touch with the
Third World, we have trouble
relating to leftist regimes," Nel­son
said. He believes some of the
policies we advocate make us
unpopular in the United Nations.
Nelson said that the United
States should continue in the
United Nations because, "it is the
only global institutional frame­work,
a family of nations." Nel­son
also said it is better for us to
be a part of, than to isolate our­selves
from the world.
"Even though we are in the
minority, we can still mold world
events," he said. Nelson said,
"The United Nations is a mirror
of world opinion, it reflects what
the leaders do." The United
States needs to know that opin­ion,
and not "put its head in the
sand," he said.
If the United States is left out of
the United Nations, it has no
effect on regimes worldwide, Nel­son
pointed out. "We can shake
the world by being in the United
Nations, rather than having no
effect," he said.
"The United Nations is not a
perfect institution and it does
some deplorable things, but no
one is perfect and any human
institution will make mistakes, it
depends on your opinion," Nel­son
said. This is not a good rea­son
for withdrawing, we have to
do what we can to reshape it, he
said.
The United Nations operates in
"peace and security and eco­nomic
and social activites," Nel­son
said. He feels it is an impor- .
tant element in keeping peace. "It
acts as a buffer force between
beligerents," he said.
"It is very important in the
economic and management of
resources," he said.

said.
McCullers said she has had six
meetings since last week with
everyone who will be involved in
the renovations, including soror­ity
presidents, dorm residents,
hall directors, maintenance and
building service workers in the
dorms.
"The four sororities affected
(Chi Omega, Kappa Delta, Alpha
Omicron Pi and Delta Zeta) are
being assigned space in the Quad
Dorms to relocate," McCullers
said. "The second floor will be
given to the sororities for
members who want to live in the
dorm." The sororities will move
back into the same dorms after
the renovations are complete in
fall of 1988, she said.
"We're real optomistic about
everything," Kappa Delta Presi­dent
Susan Roberts said. "We
realize that Auburn has to do this
to better the University. We're
going to cooperate."
The sororities haven't decided
what to do about rush yet,
Roberts said, and the four
affected sororities are all working
continued from A-l
with Panhellenic on it.
"Housing is going to help us a
lot with cleaning and painting of
the chapter rooms in the Quad,"
Roberts said.
The other three sorority presi­dents
were unavailable for
comment.
McCullers said the dorm ser­vice
workers will be given new job
assignments.
"This is a time of change and

Alabama. We are dedicated to

country."
State Education Superintend­ent
Wayne Teague released a
statement in reference to the
Education Department's report
and said, "We are obviously very
pleased that our students have
continued to improve their scores
in recent years on the ACT. I feel
that the improvement is due to
several factors, including a very
competent testing program and
our plan for excellence."
Dennis Buckley and Greg
Fiore, high school seniors who
took the ACT here on Monday
morning, had mixed emotions
about the test.
Buckley, who said he "didn't
know what to expect," said he felt
that high school had prepared
him for college entrance exams.
He said initially he was nervous,
but was "surprised to have done
so well" on the exam. Buckley
said that he may take the test
continued from A - l
over again to improve his chan­ces
for a scholarship. Fiore, on
the other hand, said that "he
knew what to expect." Monday
was the second time he took the
ACT and he claims to have "not
been nervous at all." But, Fiore
added, "I didn't get anything out
of my (high school) education
that I should have."
In 1986 49.6 percent of the
state's public and private high
school graduates took the ACT,
compared to 58.7 percent who
took it in 1984.

Egg drop featured at I-day

By Susan Osborn
Staff Writer
Engineering Day (E-Day) will
once again be observed Friday
and attract approximately 2,400
people to the campus, Rod Jen­kins,
faculty adviser for the
event, said.
E-Day is always the Friday of
National Engineers Week, which
follows George Washington's
birthday.
"It has been around in the pres­ent
format for 11 years," Jenkins
said.
The purpose of E-Day is to
"acquaint visitors with the Uni­versity,
with the College of Engi­neering,
with the departments
within engineering and with
what engineering is all about."
Scott Arvin, president of the
College of Engineering, said this
is "the single biggest recruiting
day for Auburn. It is well-
Engel calls
Nicaragua
'tinder box'
By Susan Osborn
Staff Writer
Dr. Carol Engel, an economics
professor at AUM, spoke Tues­day
night to concerned students
about the situation in Nicaragua.
Engel was part of the last
government project to be sent to
Nicaragua, where she lived for
two years. She described this
area of Central America as a
"tinder box," and said it is an
explosive part of the world.
Engel said to understand Nica­ragua
today one must go back in
history. From 1900-1923 U.S.
Marines occupied the area. It was
continuous occupation for about
15 years and "no Nicaraguan will
ever forget that."
The first guerilla movement
was started by Sandino and
present-day guerillas pattern
their tactics after him. The pur­pose
of the movement was to get
rid of the Marines.
Engel said the major cause of
death in Nicaragua was gas­trointestinal
and parasitic dis­eases
until the late ;1970s., • -i
publicized, and it got me here."
Chris Shirley, vice president of
College of Engineering, said the
school is now the "largest school
on campus."
The day's agenda includes
departmental tours, displays in
Foy Union, a slide show and
campus tours.
Visitors can view several con­tests
which include an egg drop,
paper airplane flying and bridge
building.
During the egg drop contest,
the student is given a specified
amount of material so that when
dropped from Haley Center, the
egg won't break. "It usually
makes it three stories," Jenkins
said.
The paper airplane contest is
conducted in the lab in Harbert
Hall. This marks the second year
for this contest, and it tests dis­tance
and accuracy. Jenkins said
the object of this contest is to hit a
target with airplane.
In the bridguiichng contest,
the student ia,en a specified
amount of mrial, and the
object is to h> the lightest
weight bridge hold up the
heaviest materi;

MAKING THE POINT
Engel describes her stay in Nicaragua
The rate of illiteracy was 52
percent in 1974.
Eight percent of the population
lives in Managua, the capital of
Nicaragua, and yet they had 74
percent of all the sewers, Engel
said. Only 2 percent of the rural
population had access to portable
water.
The Nicaraguan Sandanista
Liberation Front (FSLN) led by
Carlos Fonseca, had as its main
goal to reduce socioeconomic
inequality. The FSLN's goals in
the early years were to begin
schools, hospitals and potable
water in rural areas.
In 1979, a massive population
uprising occurred and on July 19,
1979, the triumph of the Sanda­nista
Revolution and it continues
today, she said.
In 1981, the CIA began meeting
with exiles in Miami. CIA wanted
the exiles, which were business­men,
to form a political faction to
run the Contra. This became
known as the FDN. The CIA
picked the name and approved its
members.

The core curriculum,
who decides content?
By Stephanie Warnecke
Assistant News Editor
The debate over a new core cur­riculum
continued at a supple­mentary
University senate meet­ing
Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting was called as a
forum to discuss concerns about
the new curriculum presented by
an ad hoc senate committee.
Thomas Vaughan, chairman
of the committee, said nothing
was going to be implemented this
fall. He said the committee will
work through spring quarter and
summer if necessary to take
comments and suggestions and
draft a second document.
A major topic discussed was
courses included in the social
science-philosophy group. Pres­ently,
a student can take a var­iety
of courses to fulfill the
requirement, including philo­sophy
and Ascent of Man.
Several professors argued
Ascent of Man should be either
offered as a general elective, or
put in its own group along with
philosophy and Great Books, a
new course to be required.
Another professor said philo-
Bonds —
sophy should be separate.
It was suggested geography be
added to the block. Cyrus Daw-sey,
a geography professor, said,
"Without geography the tour bus
would be hijacked in the Middle
East," referring to Vaughan's
reference at the last senate meet­ing
to the present curriculum as
the "tour bus approach."
Another issue was whether to
include a computer literacy
course in the core. The committee
said they had thought about it,
but decided that looking ahead, it
would not be necessary for eve­ryone
to be knowledgable about
computers, and high schools are
now teaching computer courses.
A senator also said the
requirement of a computer course
would be a major problem
because of the lack of facilities
and the huge financial invest­ment.
Leo Hirth, of the Chemical
Engineering department, sug­gested
letting the deans of each
school determine their own core.
"A good dean would make the
right choice," he said.
.continued from A-l
Martin explained the budget the
University presented to the Ala­bama
Commission on Higher
Education (ACHE) on Jan. 27.
Martin said the University
requested $161.9 million, a 55.3
percent increase of last year's
total appropriations of $104.3
million.
He said the increase was neces­sary
because one of Auburn's real
problems is the appropriation of
the Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) budget.
"In the last 10 years," Martin
said, "the University has had a
shortfall in the O&M budget of
almost $100 million. That's the
reason we have been having
problems with deferred mainte­nance
and salary erosion."
The Board also approved the
revised tenure and promotion
policy.
"It was changed to bring more
attention to teaching capabili­ties,"
Vice President for Aca­demic
Affairs Warren W. Brandt
said. "The revised policy introdu­ces
the de facto tenure, which
means that if a professor goes
beyond seven years then he gets
tenure without being evaluated."
Brandt also said the student
evaluations have been mandated
by the Board.
The Board adopted a resolution
to loan Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity,
one of the four fraternities demol­ished
to make way for the hotel-conference
center, $300,000 to
cover part of the construction
cost for a new house.
In other business, the Board
approved:
—Cutting in half the price of
faculty and staff season tickets to
any athletic event;
—The construction of a $1.3
million expansion to the Small
Animal Clinic, which will be pri­vately
funded, and the construc­tion
of a $875,000 laboratory
animal holding facility for the
College of Veterinary Medicine to
be funded from Plant Funds; and
—The transferral of students in
the agricultural and forestry
engineering programs from the
College of Agriculture and the
School of Forestry to the College
of Engineering as part of the
Unversity's reorganization.
Seat -continued from A-3
anticipate, which is still some­what
of a concern, is that stu­dents
stand up." Moore added
this is good, but it often blocks the
view of the faculty. "We didn't
realize this would absolutely
block the views of the people in
the first rows of these sections."
A temporary solution to this
problem, Moore said, was to take
out three rows of sections 9 and 10
in front of the faculty seating
area just below the railings.
Moore said this took out about
216 seats and that this was a con­siderable
amount of seats to be
taken away from the students.
"Then with that problem, we
decided to look and see if there
had been any other problems
created by the move that we
needed to consider," Moore said.
Gossett, then-SGA President
John Stein, executive director of
alumni Jerry Smith and Moore
were on a committee to look at the
problems.
The committee had several
recommendations. The most
important was the moving of the
faculty again into the front part
of sections 12 thru 14 and 16.
Another was to allow students to
move into the empty faculty seats
after the half, which is allowed in
all reserved seating. Students
also gained seats, when the
athletic department indicated
they would give the students as
many seats to fill the Coliseum,
according to Moore.
All these recommendations
were made, sent to the SGA and
the athletic commmittee and
approved.
Moore also added that Marty
McGinty, assistant ticket man­ager,
has told her student season
ticket sales are slightly down this
year. But, in many games this
year, walk-up sales have been up.
Gossett said he suggested they
do it this year and not delay the
move.
"We didn't want to do anything
to squash the enthusiasm of the
students," Moore said. "Our first
idea was to leave those (216) seats
out for a year or two because we
had just asked the faculty to
move. It would be absurd to ask
the students to sit down."
A concern of students is that
the faculty seating area is roped
off and separated from the stu­dents.
Gossett said, "The rope is
there simply to say these are
reserved seats."
"We don't anticipate another
change," Moore said. She did add
the committee is always open to
the concerns and complaints.
"Sonny (Smith) wants the stu­dents
up close to the game,"
Moore said, "but he was in a
situation where he wants the
scholarship program and he
wants the students help. It really
comes back to the point of we
have just so much space and how
do we allocate it as equitable and
reasonable as possible for all
those concerned."
Reserved seating for students
is a possibility, according to
Moore and Gossett, but both real­ize
the problem with reserved
seating at football games. Gos­sett
said that if students had
reserved seats it would eliminate
the rope around the faculty area.

for approval by the Senate. The
governor does not anticipate the
agencies with respect to which
these appointments are pending,
to have any problems, legal or
otherwise, in performing their
functions."
Herb White, director of Univer­sity
Relations, said it was not
clear how the governor's order
would affect the University.
"The Constitution of Alabama
says that the Trustees shall con­tinue
to serve until their replace­ments
are appointed," White
said. "Gov. Wallace's appoint­ments
have to go before the
Legislature for confirmation. It is
unclear exactly what procedure
will be followed from now on.
"There is no lawsuit planned
by the University. Hunt has sus­pended
these appointments even
though we haven't been notified.
It is a very unclear situation."
In The Montgomery Advertiser
Sen. Jim Smith, D-Huntsville,
and chairman of the Senate
Rules Committee said if the
appointments were official when
they were made, Hunt has over­stepped
his legal bounds, and the
Sen ate must consider the Wallace
appointments.
Holloway said, "I feel that he'll
handle it the way he sees best. I
believe that he will do what is
right."

Parlez-vous?
Parlez-vous Francais? Habla

Duetsch? Do you speak English?
Okay, so this may not be a com­plete
sample of all the languages
that foreign graduate teaching
assistants (GTAs) can speak, but it
gets the point across. And the point
is, there are numerous GTAs who
are teaching labs and classes that
cannot speak English.
They can speak their own lan­guage,
but the students who are
depending on them for knowledge
and guidance quite often can't
understand them. That's why it's
important that foreign GTAs will
now be required to demonstrate an
ability to communicate in English to
continue at Auburn in an assistant-ship
capacity.
Most of these foreign GTAs that
can't properly communicate with
students are in the technical fields,
where students are worried enough
about what's going on in class,
much less about what language the
instructor is going to speak in class.
An instructor speaking in a for­eign
language is good — if it's in the
foreign language department. But
don't put foreign language in chem­istry,
physics and engineering.
They're complicated enough as it is.
The Plainsman does not think
these foreign GTAs shouldn't be
allowed to teach, and we aren't try­ing
to take away their livelihood.
We just think that if they are going
to instruct students who speak Eng­lish
they should also have a com­mand
of the language. They would
ask the same from their professors
in their native country.
Dr. Norman J. Doorenbos, dean of
the graduate school and associate
vice president for academic affairs,
has written a letter stating that
anyone failing to meet the require­ments
will be removed from teach­ing
assignments. An excellent sug­gestion,
The Plainsman says.
From our point of view it looks as
if Doorenbos has things under con­trol.
Maybe by this time next year,
you'll be able to understand that
chemistry lab.
Compromise
For the last several weeks the
Baptist Student Union (BSU) and
Hooligan's Restaurant and Lounge
have been parrying back and forth
about vandalism in the downtown
area around the two buildings that
inhabit these two. Last week they
reached an agreement.
The agreement these two reached
was that BSU would hire an off-duty
policeman to patrol its area Wed­nesday
through Sunday and that
Hooligan's would reimburse them
for the cost.
The problem between the two
resulted because of the vandalism
that had occurred. A representative
from BSU had even gone before the
Auburn City Council and asked
them to possibly consider revoking
Hooligan's liquor license. A fight
between the two loomed on the
horizon.
But then a strange thing hap­pened.
The two groups made up like
the friends they are. The Plainsman
commends them on finding a solu­tion
to the problem.
BSU and Hooligan's are oppo-sites.
One is a student religious
organization, while the other offers
a band and a bar. But as opposites
go, they eventually must attract.
And we commend these two oppo­sites
for reaching a compromise to
their problem and in helping to curb
downtown violence.
Wired
Ever been driving out on Wire
Road when it gets dark? Good, then
you know how hard it is to distin­guish
between the stop lights and
• t h e lane arrows at certain
intersections.
The SGA recently conducted a poll
of students concerning this matter,
and almost 56 percent said they
thought the lights on Wire Road
were hazardous.
These lane-arrow lights were put
in several years ago. The middle one
often changes directions and at sev­eral
intersections it takes a sharp
eye or a person who has traveled
Wire Road a lot to be able to tell the
difference between a green light
and a green arrow at the Shug Jor­dan
Parkway intersection.
The intersection is known to be
one of the most dangerous in the
area. There were 35 accidents in that
one intersection in 1985. It is
obvious there is a problem.
These lights can be left up; The
Plainsman knows they cost a lot of
money. But turn them off. Just turn
them on when they are needed, such
as after football games.
What will happen with the middle
lane? The Plainsman has a solution
for this also. With our expanding
knowledge of asphalt technology, it
shouldn't take much to expand Wire
Road to four lanes anyway.
There's no real reason for four
lanes on this road other than for
safety. The traffic on Wire Road
does not merit four lanes. But for
safety measures, it would be the best
for all concerned. It's confusing to
distinguish between the stop lights
and the arrows

101 ways to get people to hate you
Chris
ROUSH
After working in journalism a few
years after graduation, writing books
would be something that would interest
me. My many experiences at Auburn
would provide me with a plethora of
information to draw upon.
I might start off with one of those
quick novelty books. Something like 101
Uses For The Auburn Plainsman, avail­able
at all Waldenbooks stores (Gippem
& Capone Publishing House; $12.95;
personal columns included).
Once I've established myself as a hack
artist, the next would have to be 101
Ways To Get People to Hate You at
Auburn. My friends at Johnston &
Malone would most certainly have a
ready supply. It would go something like
this:
1. Like research over teaching (or
vice versa) — This is a common varia­ble
of hate. By taking either side you are
sure to get someone to disagree. Roush's
hate hint: Don't straddle the fence, take
a stand either way or move onto #2.
2. Be a secular humanist (or for
the secular humanists, be a Chris­tian)
— The surgeon general has deter­mined
this issue can be dangerous to
your health and gets a lot of people to
hate you. Avoid it for long periods of
time.
Short anecdote from about 20 years
ago: Delos McKown is walking down a
street at Auburn, far away from his
office. My father, coming upon him,
asks, "Brother McKown, are you taking
your morning constitutional?" McKown
deadpans, "Brother Roush, this is not a
constitutional question."
Quickest wit in Auburn and an
extremely smart man. Combine the two
and you have a person most students
love to hate. I like the way McKown calls
it The Plainsperson, but back to the book
and a related issue.
3. Either support abortion or hate
it — I think I'll abort this way of getting
people to hate me and move onto a
favorite.
4. Have vulgar pizza ads — What
would Dagwood and Fats think if Blon-dy's
and Domino's did this? The guess is
they would hate it.
5. Support divestment (or not) —
Another one you can take either side on
or be hated. This issue is too deep for
myself so it will be a blank page in the
book where the buyer can write in his
own style of acquiring hate with this
issue. Please take a stand or move on to
the next one:
6. Be a rugby or soccer player —
Nobody will hate you unless you do
something cruel to them. But run around
their old field for a while and people will
avoid you.
7. Listen to WEGL (or hate its
music) — A way in which it is almost
guaranteed by this writer that, once you
take a stand either way, someone is
going to hate you. Let's face it, Huey
Lewis would never have Smokin' Dave
and the Primo Dopes as an opening act.
8. Be a mechanical engineering
professor — Someone's ruined this one
because they're not in the department
any more.
9. Turn left onto Shug Jordan
Parkway from Wire Road — To be
eligible to be hated, you must do this
when the traffic light is red, but the lane
arrow is green. I will hate you for this
myself.
10. Be on the staff of The Auburn
Plainsman — bonus hate points for
writing columns.
11. Be an unruly and drunk stu­dent
downtown — use discretion when
the body tells you it's time to relieve
yourself.
12. Break in line at drop and add
—'nuff said.
13. Get the last add card for a class
I need for graduation — I hate when
that happens.
14. Park in a zone other than the
one you're allowed to — The maso­chistic
way — after you get the bill from
campus police, you'll hate yourself.
—Why are the B zone parking spots
behind the stadium on Donahue always
empty? Guess I should have included
that last week.
15. Spray every opposing fan with
water — especially after Auburn loses.
16.-101. Write 85 letters to the
editor.
My publisher assures me this will sell
millions.

Plainsman.

Ode to that youthful college idealism
•
•
- •*>•;•
Tommy
WOFFORD
My time is running out.
My file is in Mrs. Alverson's cabinet
drawer that is exclusively for graduat­ing
seniors in liberal arts. It's taken a lot
to get there, and now that I'm there, I
wonder what irrevocable changes I'll be
making upon graduation.
I'll goof off less. I'll go to fewer parties.
I'll eat more meals alone. I'll lose some of
my friends, I'm sure. I'll lose the chance
to dream about becoming a best-selling
author while still in college. I'll lose my
youth and eventually my hair. One
thing that worries me, will I lose my
idealism?
I was brought up to believe in a better
world, to look on the bright side, to give
the benefit of the doubt and to trust peo
pie just this side of looking stupid.
I wonder if after March 20 111 lose my
perception that a positive approach can
bring positive change, that the people of
America are indeed a part of the
government and that it is unacceptable
to answer criticisms of the president and
government with, "Well, all politicians
do that."
Someone told me that college is the
haven for youthful idealism, almost
with the implication that it has no place
outside in the real world. There's not a
large number of idealists in Auburn, but
I see them around. Will what few of us
there are be assimilated after we've
gone? One thing that can be said for the
conservative stagnation of this campus,
it keeps the feet of those of us who want
change on the ground.
An authority figure who will remain
nameless told me I should be careful if I
got it in my head to protest something. I
feel an indignation about many differ­ent
problems, but I haven't earned the
Amy Carter award yet. I think it makes
my parents nervous when I come home
talking about injustice beyond my
immediate control.
My defense against those who think
I'm a naive fool is 1) I'm not naive: after
all, can you correct a problem if you
don't understand it? and 2) Idealism is
the American Way.
Everybody drags up our founding
fathers to prove almost every imagina­ble
point, from school prayer to abortion,
and from slavery to a balanced budget.
My use for Washington, Jefferson and
the lot is that our infant nation's leaders
were idealists.
I mean, come on, they were revolu­tionaries,
not a bunch of Rotary Club
members. They took up arms against
their government, their mother country,
and for what? To prove a point. They
fought in the name of an idea and an
ideal. They desired a better future, and
that future required change.
How many of us regret that idealism?
I don't today, and I hope I don't tomor­row.
Or on March 21 either.
Tommy Wofford, a staff writer for The
Plainsman, is graduating this quarter.
Why we reward another pretty face
Randy
GLAZE
On Jan. 30, Auburn crowned yet
another Miss something-or-other. I
think that brings the grand total to five
this year, but it's possible that I could've
miscounted somewhere along the way.
In case you missed it, this "beauty
walk" as one of the participants so aptly
called it, was titled the Miss Auburn
University pageant. Unlike some of the
other Miss so-and-so pageants, the Miss
Auburn University pageant is spon­sored
by the UPC, and funds for scho­larship
awards come out of the Presi­dent's
Fund.
At first it seemed strange that a uni­versity
was sponsoring a beauty contest,
but then I remembered where I was.
When you think about it, there isn't any­thing
remotely scholastic about having
women parade around in evening
gowns.
Stacy Kulaw, 04 PRJ, said, "If they're
going to have a contest based on an
evening wear competition, they might
as well get Frederick's of Hollywood to
pay for it." A $1,000 Frederick's gift cer­tificate
would at least be consistent with
the activity.
John Burgess, coordinator of Union
programming, has stressed that, "It's
not a beauty pageant, it's a scholarship
pageant." Yeah, sure it is. What are the
contestants judged on, how many scho­larships
they have? If anybody happens
to be in the market for the Brooklyn
Bridge, I suggest they go up to the UPC
office. Burgess will probably sell it to
you for a song. What is the proper name
of the UPC anyway? Is it the University
Programs Council, or the University
Propaganda Council? I can't tell the
difference.
The fact is women were judged in four
categories: talent (50 percent), interview
(16.3 percent), evening gown (16.3 per­cent)
and swimsuit (16.3 percent). Bur­gess
contends that because a woman
needs talent and interview skills to win,
it is a scholarship contest. Calling the
exhibition a scholarship contest is the
worst case of doublespeak since Reagan
decided to call the MX missile the
Peacemaker.
At any rate, shouldn't "scholarship
contests" be open to anyone in the Uni­versity?
A true scholarship pageant
wouldn't have two categories based on a
sexist ritual.
"I don't think it's right that a woman
should get benefits like scholarships just
because she has a certain bone structure
in her face or manages to maintain a
trim 105 pounds. It's like a contest for
who has the best car on campus. Of
course there's talent involved, so it
would be who drives the best car on
campus," notes a UPC member.
Let's face it, there are plenty of tal­ented,
charming people who are not a
pefect size three. It is conceivable some­one
could have the highest scores in tal­ent
and interview, but still come in last
place because of their looks since one-third
of their points come from
appearance.
Burgess is quick to point out the last
couple winners had good academic
records. However, that doesn't justify
the repression of many other people with
equal or better credentials just because
they may weigh more than 175 pounds
or have a bad complexion.
Even the contest winner, Lisa Kelley,
02 PRS, conceded, "of course they look at
your figure...they're looking for the
ultimate woman and that includes
beauty on the inside as well as the
outside."
Who determines the "ultimate
woman" anyway? And what right does
the UPC have to portray this person as
Auburn University's ultimate woman?
What can they possibly gain from this?
Are more people going to come to
Auburn now that they know we may
have a prettier Miss so-and-so than Ala­bama's
Miss so-and-so?
Moreover, is Auburn going to take any
people away from Harvard or Yale
because we know that our Miss so-and-so
is prettier than their Miss so-and-so? I
doubt it. The only thing this proves is
that Auburn, as well as the other schools
that have these contests, still perpetuate
the sexist myth that women are to be
adored, but only beautiful women
deserve attention.
Lastly, I would like to know why Uni­versity
officials find it imperative to
reward a pretty face. Larry Barker, an
Auburn communications professor, lists
many advantages of attractive women
in a recent book. They include: higher
grades in college courses, lighter senten­ces
in court cases and more dates. Now
add to the list "beauty walk"
scholarships.
I wonder if any of the Miss so-and-so
pageants would still exist if we ever had
an administration that treated women
as equal individuals instead of treating
them as male play things. Don't look
back Burgess, the equal rights amend­ment
is catching up to you and it's com­ing
on with a full head of steam.

Chairman gives views and
visions on core curriculum
But what of the weightier matters?
Philosophically and ethically, how do
we deal with the needs of those who are
hungry or indigent, unable for whatever
reason to cope in life. Are we willing to be
a part of the larger picture in our society
or do we settle for only our little world, if
indeed it is our world?
Should we not have an awareness of
the ongoing social, political and cultural
world around us? How could the people
in the late 1930s and early 1940s
acquiesce to the polluted whims of sup­posedly
educated individuals such as
Hitler, Speer, Goering, Eichmann? This
is almost beyond my ability to grasp!
I hasten to say that I realize we are
human. We haven't changed through
the centuries! Witness the church bomb­ings
in Birmingham, or the two young
people slain in the streets of New York;
events which unfortunately cause only a
ripple of concern. Our vision is so nar­row,
so myopic, so highly "me-and-mine"
centered, that we cannot or will not open
our eyes to the larger realities; the reali­ties
which would make our lives richer
and also the lives of those with whom we
have contact.
Self-aggrandizement, self-satisfac­tion,
self-centeredness—these are pitfalls
along our way to being educated contri­buting
members of this world; not just
takers, but givers and sharers of
responsibility.
I would also hasten to say this is an
ever changing world we live in. One
never truly arrives at being educated.
The more one learns the more one real­izes
there is to learn. Thank goodness for
the opportunities open to all who would
avail themselves.
Now let me say a bit about our process.
We realize a totalitarian or authoritar­ian
approach would be so much less time
consuming. There would not be the pro­cess
of debate now in motion! We chose
to first have open forum sessions. At our
first forum, tension was quite evident.
However, when it was realized partici­pants
need not be defensive, but could be
open and willing to share ideas and
philosophies relating to our desire to
include or not to include certain areas,
then tensions subsided.
I just wish that more of the faculty, as
well as students, could have heard the
exchange of ideas. I though to myself,
"Why can't we share like this all the
time?" It was truly refreshing.
After finishing the open forum ses­sions,
the committee will take all of the
suggestions, oral and written, and closet
themselves once again. They will then
resubmit to the senate a revised proposal
or will reaffirm the .current proposal. At
that time, the senate will either endorse
or modify by rule of majority. That doc­ument
will then be forwarded through
the normal administrative channels for
ultimate approval, with or without
modifications.
Claude Gossett is chairman of the
University senate.
First let me say I do not want, and will
not try, to defend the proposed core cur­riculum
set forth by the Core Cirriculum
Commission. Second, I would like to
share some thoughts as to why I think
most of the faculty feel we need a strong
core curriculum. Then, I want to say
something of the process through which
we are working.
I do not feel I should defend the prop­osal
for two reasons: because this prop­osal
might not be the final form, and
because we are presently having open
forum sessions in the University senate.
During these sessions individuals from
many departments within the Univer­sity
are presenting rationales as to why
they think the proposal should be
adopted or altered. Additionally, they
are seeking the commission's rationales
for adopting the initial proposal. Thus,
as chairman of the senate, I feel con­strained
to remain as neutral as
possible.
Why a strong core curriculum?
Vision!! What is the mission of Auburn
University? What does it mean to be a
student, a student-professor? Do we
want to graduate technicians or to help
in motivating people to become educated
members of society who also have the
technical skills necessary for specific
tasks?
I am distinctly aware that if we would
poll every professor and every student
about their reasons for being at Auburn
University, we would have a rainbow of
opinions. There would also be varying
degrees of intensity relating to firmness
of commitment to each position.
However, I am also quite aware that
the majority would include two views in
their array. The first, not in order of
preference, might be to become edu­cated,
or to educate. The second, to
develop the ability to earn more money,
to improve living conditions or quality
of life of students as well as professors. I
am equally aware that the phrase "to be
educated" has become a cliche.
Many feel that one who has a degree is
educated. Deliver us from this naive
mind set. Is one educated simply
because he knows how to operate a com­puter,
how to write a term paper or how
to sing a song? I dare say he is not! In
other words we can become technicians
who can turn out products or services.
These provide us the means to make
very lucrative salaries, thus we are able
to live in a bigger house, drive a newer
car, wear finer clothes, and be members
of the socially elite country club.

Nicaraguan gives insight into Fast for Peace
Editor, The Plainsman:
I'm writing in response to the Feb. 19
letter concerning the Students Fast for
Peace in Nicaragua. It seems to me they
are not serving the purpose they stand
for. In order to be the real humanitar­ians
which they want to be, the members
of Auburn Alliance for Peace and Jus­tice
should first study the short and long
effects of their actions.
The letter written by Leigh Burkey
contains many obscurities from which
he is not either well informed, or just
trying to hide the truth from being
revealed. Being from Nicaragua, I have
observed the cruelties done by unscrupu­lous
Sandinistas, such as confiscating
lands, businesses and other properties
belonging to non-politically involved
citizens (not to mention those belonging
to my father).
Furthermore, the Contra is not win­ning
the war alone; it happens to have
support of 200,000 Nicaraguans residing
in the United States due to Communistic
persecutions. Also, the Contra is backed
Correction
In a story last week about the
reforming of the Eagle Escort Ser­vice,
the phone number to call was
erroneously given as 826-2325. The
correct phone number is 826-2525.
The Plainsman apologizes for the
mistake.
In a letter to the editor last week
about students fasting for Nicara­gua,
the letter said that $100 billion
was appropriated by Congress for
the contras. It was actually $100
million. The Plainsman apologizes
for this typographical error.
It is the policy of this newspaper
to correct all errors of fact.
r Expressing support for command of English
Editor, The Plainsman:
I write this letter to express my whole­hearted
support of the University's deci­sion
to require foreign GTA's to demon­strate
a command of English before
being allowed to teach. My only com­plaint
is that the University failed to
recognize a serious academic problem
sooner.
Command of the language spoken by
the vast majority of the students would
seem to be an obvious requirement of
any teacher. Until now, Auburn has
chosen to ingore this. Many times I have
struggled unnecessarily in a lab because
of the failure of a foreign instructor to
convey the material in an understanda­ble
manner. I have never questioned the
instructor's comprehension of the mate­rial;
however, their inability to create an
understanding of the material among
the students clearly demonstrates their
incompetence as teachers.
Auburn's administration finally
appears to be putting academics ahead
of the countless other things that have
been its focus for so long. After witness­ing
the Fullwood incident and the ongo­ing
battle in the mechanical engineering
department, it is refreshing to see aca­demics
placed as a real priority by the
University..

None is safe from prejudiced assumptions
Racial prejudice is still with us. Recent
events in Howard Beach, N. Y., and For­syth
County, Ga., have reminded us of
this. Even knowing the history of race
relations in American society, many
people have expressed shock and dis­gust
these incidents could still happen.
Those here at Auburn were no less
surprised or put off because we are all
aware of the danger of physical violence
and violation of individual rights that
coincide with those kind of events. But a
more insidious danger accompanies
racial confrontations like that in For­syth
— how those incidents effect how
we evaluate our own prejudice. When a
Forsyth happens, we may be shocked
and surprised. We may also feel above
those "ignorant, prejudiced" people. Are
we? ,
Social psychologists who pursue the
scientific study of racial prejudice have
come to an interesting conclusion about
prejudice in the 1980s. It appears racial
prejudice takes many forms; what we see
in places like Forsyth is only one form.
That is old-styled prejudice. Modern
prejudice is more subtle, making it all
the more dangerous. It can come in the
form of a warm handshake or a friendly
hello.
That does not sound like what black
people would encounter in Forsyth.
Indeed, it is not what they found. But it
is what sometimes exists. People are
often unaware of this type of prejudice or
think it innocent; therein lies the
danger.
Prejudice is a pre-judgment based on
assumption. In the old days the assump­tions
constituting racial prejudice were
manifested in a person's unwillingness
to associate with members of a certain
group (e.g. blacks). That seems to have
changed. My research and research by
others indicates most white Americans
no longer object to going to school with
or working with black Americans. But
as I have already said, that is only one
form of racial prejudice.
The way the 1980s prejudice operates
is unfamiliar. It does not, for example,
lead to interpersonal avoidance not to
violence. It is friendly prejudice. As
some have observed, it means black
employees in a business are well
accepted socially, but never receive cer­tain
job assignments. Why not?
Well, because "...they would probably
have trouble doing the job." That judg­ment
is made not because the particular
black person has had trouble in the past,
but because "...they really don't do well
at this sort of thing." Still, going to
dinner, or having a beer together after
work is no problem.
Guest view
Rupert W. Nacoste
Psychology Professor
That seems to be the pattern of the
new prejudice — interpersonally warm
and cordial; professionally paternalis­tic.
That is dangerous because it seems
harmless or worse, "for the best." There
is no doubt, however, it is based on an
assumption of inferiority. The danger is
even more profound because members of
the minority group may accept the
assumption of inferiority.
Black workers, for example, may
become convinced they cannot do cer­tain
jobs well. As one set of writers has
put it, blacks may start to believe the
"rumors of inferiority." At this point,
however, much is still unknown. The
so
