Students might start paying to park
By Diana Houghton
Assistant News Editor
Students who currently park in
nearby off-campus zones free of
charge might have to start pay­ing
for metered parking costing
25 cents an hour for a five-hour
maximum beginning in January.
"The city is exploring the pos­sibility
of metering Genelda
Avenue, Cox, Thomas Toomer
and Wright streets to generate
revenues for improvements,"
Phillip Dunlap, director of eco­nomic
development, said Mon­day.
Those who park on College and
Gay streets will have to pay 10
cents an hour for a two-hour max­imum.
Currently, metered park­ing
costs 5 cents an hour.
For temporary parking on
Tichenor Avenue and for the area
of Wright Street by Kinko's
Copies, it will cost 5 cents for a
15-minute maximum. Other
metered parking on Wright Street
will cost 25 cents an hour for a
five-hour maximum.
Auburn City Council members
approved these recommenda­tions
made by City Manager
Doug Watson at last week's
meeting.
Dunlap said the extra revenue
that the parking meters could
g e n e r a t e would go toward
improvements such as repaving
and intersection re-design. He
discussed the Glenn Avenue and
Donahue Drive intersection as
one in particular that needed
repair.
Council members also dis­cussed
the January opening of
the $1.5 million downtown park­ing
deck, located in the middle of
the block bound by Magnolia
Avenue, College Street, Tichenor
Avenue and Gay Street. The 152
spaces will be available for those
who buy monthly $30 leases. The
council approved this fee.
Council member Robert Gas-taldo,
a geology professor at the
University, suggested the permit
be $45 to "better offset adminis­trative
costs." Watson said the
higher fee "would price itself out
of the market."
Watson cited area businesses
and University spaces that can
be rented at cheaper prices. Gas-taldo's
motion died because no other
council members made a second.
In addition to the leased park­ing
for the deck, 37 metered park­ing
spaces will be available.
These spaces will cost 25 cents for
two hours with an eight-hour
maximum. Spaces will also be
metered at a cost of 10 cents for

Auto tags proposed for scholarships
By Bret Pippen
News Editor
That Auburn spirit could be
reflected through a license tag if a
proposal by President James
Martin is adopted in the next
regular session of the state
Legislature.
Martin said the concept is that
each four-year institution in the
state would be able to select a
symbol to be on the vanity plate,
and supporters could purchase
the tags for an extra $50.
Martin said that if only one-third
of the 60,000 alumni in the
state bought a tag, then that
would mean $1 million a year
every year for the University'-s
scholarship fund.
"That $50 would go into an
'Shug's'wife
endowment fund at the Univer­sity
and the revenue would be
used to support scholarships," he
said. State Rep. James Campbell
has drafted a bill for the proposal
which is to be introduced at the
next legislative session sometime
next year.
"This is so that Auburn Uni­versity
can provide additional
assistance to some of the very
bright men and women enrolled
here," Martin said. "We only
have about five full scholar­ships."
T£he proposal, Martin said, is
available to any four-year insti­tution
and is totally elective.
Since it is an endowment, the
scholarship fund will never get
back to "ground zero."
"You only spend the income,"
according to Martin. "Even if we
did it for a year or 10 years, the
mi A L A " " ' %
m
money is always there, you don't
have to start over every year."
Martin emphasized that this
money was purely for scholar­ship
purposes. "What's going to
happen, I'm afraid, is a reduction
in the future for student aid. With
Gramm-Rudmann being talked
about, I feel that this is a way for
the University to provide another
source of support for outstanding
students. This is not a tax; it is
totally voluntary."
Martin said that the universi­ties
in Georgia already use the
vanity tags to raise revenue for
their scholarship funds.
"I thought, well here is a way
' for someone to show support for
the Univeristy and at the same
<ttime contribute to the scholar­ship
program," Martin said.

Evelyn Jordan remains active
Editor's Note: This is the
second in a series of personality
profiles.
By Diana Houghton
Assistant News Editor
Sporting a Swatch, Panhel-lenic
Adviser Evelyn Jordan is
every bit the active Auburn and
health enthusiast she has always
been during her 39 years spent
here.
As the wife of the late Coach
Ralph "Shug" Jordan, she has
been a part of many areas of
campus life. Currently serving as
the Panhellenic adviser, she says,
"It is fun because I have been able
to know the girls, and I'm so
interested in seeing them develop
as leaders.
chology at Auburn.
While in Columbia, she met her
future husband at a college "gym
dance." Jordan was the head
football coach at Auburn for 25
years and was on the Board of
Trustees. He received the nick­name
of "Shug" while he was in
high school because he liked
sugar cane.
Jordan said she worked with
the University counseling service
for 18 years and also worked for
the department of pensions and
securities dealing with child wel­fare
in Opelika.
She also served as the foreign
student adviser during the height
of the Middle East conflict. "That
experience made me realize that
people are different, and it gave
me an appreciation for religions
other than Christianity," she
said.
Auburn students as a whole
seem to reflect an "openness and
a willingness to share themselves
a bit," she commented. "Every­body
here is not just from small
towns in Alabama; we have a
diverse student body.
"I love that the University is
attracting better students; I
would like to see more well-known
professors come here and
that every department be well
known to attract more merit
scholars."
At 73, Jordan says that after
growing up in Columbia, S.C.,
she has always lived in a college
town and "can't think of wanting
to be anywhere else." Auburn will
continue to be her home since her
friends and activities are here.
During a discussion of the
changes occurring on campus,
Jordan said, "I don't notice the
changes as much since I'm here
every day." She said that when
she returned to Columbia for a
college reunion, she saw a lot of
changes.
When asked what she enjoys
doing on a daily basis, she pro­claimed
herself a "physical fit­ness

Auburn students may soon see
a difference in the grades they are
assigned.
Leo J. Hirth, chemical engi­neering
professor, has proposed
additions to Auburn's grade
point system which would allow
for intermediate grades.
In a letter addressed to Vice
President for Academic Affairs
Warren W. Brandt, Hirth said
that he is often "dissatisfied with
the relatively wide discrepancy
in the point credit assigned to the
base grades A, B and C (4.0, 3.0
and 2.0 respectively)
I deliberately did not go below a
C," Hirth said. He said he feels
that grades between A and C are
where a distinction often needs to
be made.
"The additions are not to be
used all of the time," Hirth said,
"but in some instances professors
want to give intermediate
grades."
Hirth said the beauty of the
system is that it allows profes­sors
to continue to use the basic
A, B or C if they want to because
the base credit points are the
same.
He added that he does not think
it would bring about many prob­lems
for the registrar's office
because it incorporates with the
present system.
Hirth said he has received
favorable responses from faculty
in his department, but has not
polled other faculty members.

While international attention
focuses on the standoff
between Reagan and Gorba­chev
over the development and
testing of components of the
Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI), basic research funded by
SDI continues.
In Auburn, the Space Power
Institute (SPI) and the newly-created
Center for Advanced
Technology (CAT) conduct
highly technological research
to increase the feasibility of
man operating in space and are
not directly affected by the cur­rent
SDI controvery.
"Our research is basic re­search.
We are not in deveolop-ment
and testing here,"
Anthony Hyder, associate vice
president for research and
director of CAT, said. "It isn't
just for SDI. It equally serves
attempts to colonize and indus­trialize
space."
Frank Rose, director of the
SPI, agreed.
"We are researching power
technology with spacecraft
generally," he said. "It can be
useful in much broader areas
than just SDI."
In fact, Rose expects the SPI
to be here long after the four-year,
$5.7 million contract with
the federal government, which
created the institute in March
1985 expires in 1989. "We are
now getting funding from the
Air Force and very soon from
NASA as well," he said.
The 20-25 scientists with the
institute are researching prob­lem
areas in energy technology
in space.
"You grew up in a home with
more energy than we are able to
have in a spacecraft," Rose said.
"You think nothing of turning
on an electric stove using about
10 kilowatts of power, but we
have difficulty with that much
power in space."
One problem the SPI studies
in its space-environment simu­lators
is a way to manage the
enormous amount of heat gene­rated
in the spacecraft. Another
problem is energy storage
capacity in space, an area in
which the SPI has made signifi­cant
gains.
"Secretary of Defense (Casper
Weinberger) recently men­tioned
Auburn's work in energy
storage technology in a speech
at Virginia Polytechnic Insti­tute,"
he said.
"We don't decide what energy
sources to use — whether it's
from the sun, nuclear reactors
or chemicals," Rose said, "we
just identify the problem areas
that limit the energy's use and
try to find ways to minimize
them."

According to Rose, any power
technology that will work in
space is usuable on the ground
as well.
The Center for Advanced
Technology was created in Sep­tember
by. a $9.9 million grant
from the federal government-one
of the largest grants in the
University's history.
The center consists of three
basic research units headed by
professors Bruce Tatarchuk,
chemical engineering, Jim
Davidson, electrical engineer­ing
and Charles Neely,
chemistry.
Neely said his research con­cerns
defining the mechanisms
that cause metals and plastics
to corrode and degrade in space.
Once those mechanisms are
defined, Neely said, materials
scientists can devise ways to
keep the undesirable reactions
from taking place.
"Outerspace contains a large
number of different molecules
oxidizing that break down
metals and plastics, the compo­nents
of our space crafts," he
said. "This research, then, can
apply to any satellite—weather,
communications, anything."
Davidson said his research
deals with "coming up with
materials to make better solid-state
electronics for use in
space."
"Our research does build on
each other," Davidson said.
"We're trying to find the ma­terials
that will work in much
higher temperatures and on
much higher electronic currents
than is now possible."
Davidson said his research is
necessary for SDI because that
system is so complex and oper­ates
in so harsh an environ­ment.
"But it could be applied all the
way down to consumer pro­ducts,"
he said. "You could get a
better television set out of this."
Tatarchuk's research covers
two areas of space technology:
the development of new sensors
to examine the surfaces of
materials in space and the
influences of gases in space on
materials.
According to Tatarchuk, the
sensors will enable scientists to
assess the state of life and prop­erties
of materials in space
without bringing them back to
Earth and dissecting them.
Tatarchuk said he will also
research why certain gases
react with surface materials to
produce phenomena like "shut­tle
glow."
"Sometimes when the shuttle
is 2-300 kilometers up, the tail
glows bright orange," he said,
adding that sometimes the
gases might react with one
another and freeze or corrode
materials.

More funds to be available for loans
By Kelly Caldwell
Staff Writer
Students who receive financial
assistance through the Alabama
Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL)
may be able to borrow more
money for the 1987-88 school
year, according to Financial Aid
Director Larry Ridgeway.
However, Ridgeway said, the
applicants may have to deal with
tougher eligibility requirements.
In September, Congress passed
legislation to reauthorize the
Higher Education Bill in an
attempt to raise the limit on the
amount that may be borrowed
with the GSL, Ridgeway said.
The way the GSL system is set
up now, an undergraduate stu­dent
may borrow a maximum of
$2,500 ($5,000 for graduate stu­dents)
from a bank or lending
i n s t i t u t i o n for educational
expenses for one academic year.
The Federal government guar­antees
the loan and subsidizes
the interest while the applicant is
in school.
The four-year loan total must
not exceed $12,500 for under­graduate
students or $25,000 for
graduate students.
If the proposed bill is passed,
students will be able to borrow
$2,675 for each of their first two
undergraduate years and $4,000
for each of the remaining two
years.
For graduate students, the new
maximum amount will be set at
$7,500 yearly. The total amount a
student can borrow will be raised
accordingly, Ridgeway said.
Undergraduates may borrow
up to $17,250 during the time they
are in school, while graduate stu­dents
may borrow a total of
$54,750.
Except for a three-year period
between 1978 and 1981 when the
Federal government attempted to
eliminate all income restrictions
on the GSL, the figures that are
now in use have been in effect
since 1972, Ridgeway said.
Since that time, Ridgeway
said, the total cost for attending
the University has risen from
approximately $1,200 annually
to $5,298.
"Basically, it's (the loan max­imum)
stayed at that figure
because Congress has chosen not
to look at the whole picture,"
Ridgeway said.
He said when the $2,500 under­graduate
maximum was rein­stated
in 1981 after the three-ye
hiatus, another provision w;

Classes
remain
crowded
By Sandra Ingram
Staff Writer
Students enrolled in basic
courses can expect classrooms
filled to capacity.
Even with tuition increases,
many beginning level courses
remain crowded.
For instance, Dr. Ford Lau-mer's
Principle of Marketing
class now has 400 students when
the optimum size for that class is
about 50 or 60, according to
Laumer.
The class, MT 331, is only
taught once per quarter totalling
"more than 1,100 students for the
year," Laumer said.
In large classrooms the stu­dents
are usually given objective
examinations instead of written
ones.
Laumer said most companies'
"biggest complaint about stu­dents
is their lack of ability to
communicate." Giving objective
exams reduces a students writing
experience, according to Laumer.
Larger classes are predomi­nantly
in the beginning sections
of a curriculum, this "allows us
(the marketing department) to
keep courses for our majors more
reasonable," Laumer said. He
cited staffing as the major cause
for overcrowding.
In a large size class, students
are mainly affected in t he general
feel of the class but this "doesn't
hamper learning effectiveness,"
according to Vice President of
Academic Affairs William
Brandt.
Limits on class sizes are deter­mined
primarily by each depig­ment

state ethics
in action
By Vernita Jones
Staff Writer
Each quarter a student from
the political science department
has the opportunity to explore
behind the scenes of Alabama
politics by interning with the
State Ethics Commission in
Montgomery.
The commission deals with
cases that are brought up against
public officials who may be vio­lating
the state ethics law.
Eric Hefner, 04 PUB, is cur­rently
interning with the com­mission.
"I've learned more in
three weeks at the States Ethics
Commission about the real world
of politics than I've ever learned
in any of my classes," Hefner
said. "The internship is benefi­cial
in so many aspects, and it's
all thanks to Dr. Bill (William)
Kelly who runs the internship
program."
Hefner said since his intern­ship,
the main case brought up
before the commissiion was
against Lt. Gov. Bill Baxley con­cerning
the misuse of state cars.
The commission decided that
there was insufficient evidence
that Baxley had violated the
state ethics law, and the case was
dismissed, said Hefner.
The commission consists of
five members from the state of
Alabama who are appointed by
the governor, Hefner said.
He added that the commission
is concerned with issues such as
payoffs, officials using their posi­tions
for personal gain, and help­ing
friends to get in government
by unethical means.
Hefner said the commission
does not have to wait for a com­plaint
to be filed before they
investigate an issue.
Melvin Cooper, director of the
commission, said a major prob­lem
with the commission is the
lack of subpoena power neces­sary
for cases against public offi­cials.

Budget cuts cut deep.
And now the Alabama Cooper­ative
Extension Service must do
something they have been help­ing
farmers in Alabama do for
some time: They must learn to
function in a field where the
money is no longer what it used to
be.
"Overall we are one-third
leaner this year than we had
expected to be," Extension Direc­tor
Ann Thompson said.
In a field where its services are
free, funds become all the more
important.
"We are funded by federal,
state and local funds," Thomp­son
said. "We get 55-60 percent
from state, 30-35 percent from
federal and 10 percent from
county and other services, such
Even with this quarter's total
enrollment at 19,363, there
should be "plenty of seats in
every class. There shouldn't be a
physical problem with over-'
crowding," Registrar Tom Stall-worth
said.
"It's a matter of where you allo­cate
your resources. A major uni­versity
such as Auburn couldn't
function without large classes,
unless you want to spend all of
your resources to cover basic
classes.
"I don't know of any large uni­versity
that doesn't operate with
some large classes, not Florida,
Purdue or LSU," Stallworth said.
•.With upcoming tuition in-,
crease, rt is reas6rrabl€i to assume'
that some of these funds will be
allocated for new instructors to
relieve the overcrowding situa­tion
Brandt said.
"No decisions have been made
as yet," Brandt said "on how the
money will be spent, but the need
for additional faculty will be
considered."
Female vet retires after 39 years
By Allison Bishop
Assistant News Editor
Marie H. Attleberger retired
from the University's veterinary
faculty because "it was about
time."
She ended her 39-year stint as
Auburn's first female veterinar­ian
Sept. 30 and said, "I retired
because I'm old enough for one
thing and it was about time. Now
I've got time to work in the yard
and go to dog and horse shows.'\
Attleberger organized and,"
" directed the " bacteriology and
mycology laboratory in the
microbiology department.
Much of her work and teaching
has been in mycology, which
involves the identification and
treatment of fungal infections in
domestic animals.
After becoming the second
woman to receive a veterinary
medicine doctorate from the Uni­versity,
the professor emeritus
began her career as a graduate
assistant at Auburn in 1947.
Even though the field had been
traditionally male, Attleberger
said she made her decision to
become a veterinarian while she
was still in high school.
"I just like working with
animals."
—Marie Attleberger
"In the dark ages," she said
laughing, "it was something I
wanted to do, and I didn't see any
reason why I couldn't do it."
All activity hasn't ceased for
the pioneer.
"I'm doing research on plasto-mycosis,
a systemic infection in
humans and animals that dam­ages
the lungs and inner organs,"
Attleberger said.
She added that there are Uni­versity
plans for her to teach two
classes winter quarter.
"I'll be teaching Veterinary-
Medical Mycology, the diagnosis
and treatment of fungus infec­tion,
and a graduate class in med­ical
mycology, which is diagnos­tic
techniques, not treatment."
She involves animals in her life

School. "We have some show
horses, American Saddle Horses
and road horses. I just like work­ing
with animals."
There is a great satisfaction
derived from making a correct
diagnosis, Attleberger said. "It's
something new with each one, it's
not routine. I cannot imagine
myself doing anything else than
what I'm doing right now."
as contracts."
From the budget it requested,
the extension service initially
received 10 percent less than
what was asked.
Then its federal funds were cut
4.9 percent and the state funds
were cut like the University's.
Then proration was declared.
"We were prorated 4.1 percent
before and then 5 percent after
school started," Thompson said,
losing two-thirds of the funds
that they expected to have.
Thompson said that they
believed the service was in good
financial condition, "but we
always thought we were a strong
water state too, until now. We
have to plan for things like this."
Even though it was not ready
for the cuts, the service is not cut­ting
back on services.
"We are trying to keep opera­tion
costs, pamphlets and travel
expenses, to a minimum.
"What we are doing is holding
all spots as they become vacant
and not filling them," Thompson
said.
This is putting an extra strain
on some agents in the field,
Thompson said.
"Some agents are being asked
to double up."
Much of this depends on what
relationship the county office has
with the county.
One advantage that the county
offices now have is a micro­computer.
This computer is linked to the
terminal at Auburn's main office
so information can be relayed not
only from the head office to the
counties, but from county to
county as well.
Funds for these computers
came solely from local means and
each office was in charge of rais­ing
money to get them.
Also, volunteers in the county
help agents when the help is
needed.

Built in the 1840s, the house is
atop a hill which is located on the
border of Lee and Chambers
counties.
No one is quite sure if it is still
haunted.
Around the turn of the century,
the family that was living in the
house had a spinster sister, Miss
Molly, who would go to people's
homes and help with their babies.
She would take care of them
during the day and tuck them in
at night.
One night, while she was tak­ing
care of two toddlers at her
home, a terrible thunderstorm
hit.
Cradling the frightened child­ren
in her arms, she took them to
the back bedroom to put them
into bed.
However, when she touched the
metal doorknob, l i g h t n i ng
struck, killing Miss Molly, but
l e a v i n g the two children
unharmed.
Mary Elizabeth Shaw, who has
lived in the house from 1956-61
and since 1977, said, "When I was
living there, my first son was
born in July of 1958. During that
time, my husband and I were
watching TV, and as soon as the
next commercial came on, I went
to cover him up, but he had
already been covered up with the
flannel blanket that had been
hanging on the doorknob.
"The next day, I asked a lady
who had lived in the area for a
while about what happened and
she said, 'Oh, it's just Miss
Molly.'"
Shaw said when she had two
children between 1958 and 1960,
that she would often see an out­line
of a person in the screen door
while she drove down and back
up the long driveway.
"My sister also has two babies,
and she had one of her babies in
the back bedroom one night. She
heard somebody up, so she tip­toed
down the hall and felt an icy
wind go by her. She said she
thought it was Miss Molly walk­ing
from taking care of my babies
and coming to take care of hers."
Believing is a problem.
"I don't know," she said. "I
would love to believe in a sweet
spirit that would help you with
babies."
From the earliest knowledge
we have of human beings, there
has always been a sort of fascina­tion
with the dead.
During the early period of civil­ization,
the people believed that if
you weren't nice to dead people,
then they would come back to
haunt you, according to Dr.
Joseph Kicklighter, associate
professor of history.
In early Christian times, Kick-lighter
said, they celebrated All
Saints Day on Nov. 1 and All
Souls Day on Nov. 2.
All Saints Day is a feast day of
the Church in which people in
heaven are sort of remembered
jubilantly, because they are vic­torious
through Christ, Kick-lighter
said. "So maybe there's
someone right up there that could
help you out."
However, the next day is All
Souls Day, which is a day of pray­ing
for those in Purgatory, where
the dead, but not yet damned,
await their fate. "They have not
completed punishment for their
sins," Kicklighter said. "They
eventually go to heaven, but until
then, they are punished.
"The assumption was that only
the really good would go to
heaven directly, so most were in
great misery. Seemed that the
feeling was even stronger that
the people were not settled in and
might even be roaming about."
He said that the fear of the dead
and the belief in the performance
of magic was so strong that they
believed the dead people were
coming back.
The idea of costumes developed
from the belief that the dead did
come back, Kicklighter said. So
children dress as skeletons,
ghosts and other beings.
The "trick or treat" idea came
from the belief that one had to
feed the dead to keep them happy,
he said. If one didn't give food to

Your vote, not ours
Next Tuesday is perhaps the most
important day in the history of Ala­bama
in the last 50 years. Nov. 4 is
the day when the citizens of Ala­bama
will choose a successor to the
man who has run Alabama politics
for the last 20 years, Gov. George C.
Wallace.
As citizens of this state, it is your
duty to get to the polls, no matter'
who you vote for, and exercise your
constitutional right to pick the
leader of your state government.
But don't just vote because it is
your right, vote because you will be
shaping the Alabama of the future.
The state has reached a crossroads
in its future, and it can either go for­ward
or backward. Your interest in
voting will help make the state go
forward no matter who is elected.
Do your duty next Tuesday. Get
out and vote your conscious. Meter madness
Last week at Auburn's City Coun­cil
meeting, the council voted to add
parking meters along several roads,
including Genelda Avenue, Cox,
Thomas, Toomer and Wright
streets. The city is still considering
the proposal.
These streets, for the uninformed,
are situated right next to the Uni­versity
across from campus on the
Magnolia Avenue boundary. Stu­dents,
who commute to campus, use
these parking spaces every day, not
to mention the residents of the
houses and apartment complexes on
these roads.
If these parking meters are
approved, it raises serious questions
as to why these meters will be
i n s t a l l e d . The overwhelming
number of residents that these
streets cater to are students. In fact,
this area is probably 100 percent
students.
Is the city of Auburn attempting
to milk the students for more
revenue by putting in these parking
spaces? Residents of this city we are,
but in other neighborhoods near
campus where students do not live,
there are no parking meters.
It appears as if the city is putting
in parking meters for these spaces
because the students use these spa­ces.
And if you were a student and
lived in a house on one of these
streets, would you want to walk out­side
every hour, on the hour, and
stick a quarter in the meter in front
of your house?
Wizard of schoolbooks?
In Greenville, Tenn., last week a
federal judge ruled that fundamen­talist
Christian children have the
right not to read schoolbooks their
parents find offensive.
You may ask yourself what hedo­nistic
books these parents found
offensive. They were none other
than the Wizard of Oz and The
Diary of Anne Frank.
The parents objected to Anne
Frank because the author called for
toleration of all religions and to The
Wizard of Oz because it tells child­ren
traits such as courage, intelli­gence
and compassion are person­a
l l y developed rather than
God-given.
The plaintiffs had certain reli­gious
beliefs which were entitled
under the free exercise clause of the
First Amendment.
But where will this stop? If every
single child held different religious
beliefs, would they be allowed to
read different books? How tough
would it be teaching a class where
the textbook was different for each
child?
It appears that this decision
borders closely on censorship, and if
parents want to give children an
education based on religion, they
need to set up their own schools.
Everybody has a right to public
education, but a minority should not
set the standards for everybody.
Students should read the same book,
and if their religious beliefs are dif­ferent
from the text, they should just
ignore it. It's not that difficult.
This has been done for other reli­gions
and other cases, but it could
get out of hand. How can you teach
when you can't have the same book
for everyone?
Catch the wave
In case you missed the story last
week, or in case you've been wonder­ing
why your favorite soft drink,
Coca-Cola, is not served in the
majority of the food services restau­rants,
we're here to ask a few ques­tions
about the lack of Coke.
True, not every person prefers
Coke over Royal Crown Cola, but
shouldn't we be given the choice of •
picking for ourselves instead of hav­ing
someone else decide?
And if the director of Food Servi­ces
think it's "too complicated" to
use two different companies to offer
a variety, is it too complicated to
serve more than one type of food?
How would you like Maryland Tur­key
every day for lunch?
It shouldn't be too complicated to
have more than one brand of fuzzy
water. If you want a Coke that badly
with lunch or dinner, The Plains­man
office, in the Foy Union base­ment,
has a Coke machine in their
office for ypuruse. We don't make
change.
Are we going to drink RC's and eat
moon pies for the rest of our lives?
Catch the wave, get a real cola.

We can all sue University
Chris
ROUSH
In trying to keep up with what is
fashionable and in vogue, I am com­pelled
to do something which everyone
wants to do, but which only a few have
done to be recognized. As of today, I am
filing suit against the University.
What reasons do I have for filing this
lawsuit against Auburn? No reason at
all. But I thought if everyone else is
going to do it, shouldn't I be preparing
my legal briefs and consulting lawyers
about what I can sue the University
over?
Filing suit against the University
seems to be all the rage. It's trendy, styl­ish,
cool and almost to the point of being
dashing. The in-crowd files suit against
the University. The nerds cope with the
injustices they receive.
Have you seen the headlines this
quarter? Several Auburn professors
have filed suit against the University
claiming they have been discriminated
against because of their age.
These professors are being paid less
than other professors in the same field
who have only recently been brought to
Auburn. Why is this so? These highly-paid
professors do mostly research for
their salaries. The others teach classes.
Just last week a former engineering
student filed suit against the University
because he was not allowed to finish
school under the requirements he began
with. Sounds like a reasonable com­plaint,
but was he just following the
trend, or was he doing it to right a
wrong?
There are even rumors, probably not
true, that Coca-Cola is going to file suit
against Auburn because we've stopped
selling Coke in our cafeterias. Now
there's a cause that wants to better
mankind.
And remember last year when Auburn
got stung by Judge U. W. Clemon in the
case that said Auburn didn't have
enough black students?
The in-crowd files suit
against the University. The
nerds cope with the injustices
they receive.
Remember also, last October, when
the University apologized and settled
out of court with Conner Brothers Con­struction
over the contracting of the new
Harbert building?
If you look hard enough to find a griev­ance,
you too can sue the University. It
doesn't take much.
Just think of what you get. You can get
a story about yourself on the front page
of this newspaper. Everybody wants
media coverage for their cause that's
going to solve the worries of the world.
Are these people media hounds, or is this
the only way they can get an obvious
grievance corrected?
Second of all, the whole lot of the
administration of this University is
probably a whole lot nicer to you and
more responsive to your wants and
needs. That is, until you lose the case.
Heaven forbid if you should rock the
boat.
I have several good causes or things
which could easily lead to more suits
filed against the University.
The students have every right to file
suit against the University for not get­ting
enough seats in the stadium for
every student to have a seat.
Professors, among other grievances,
could file suit against the University for
their over-crowded classes. When stu­dents
start taking binoculars to class,
it's gotten out of hand.
We, on the whole, could get our medi­cal
expenses paid by this University if
we all blamed it on the food we ate at the
cafeteria.
Some freshman, not knowing of the
bricks that jut out on the concourse, will
fall down, break both legs and his elbow,
and sue the University.
The University could sue itself over
the mismanagement of funds and
financial difficulties incurred this year.
Hang tags could sue over defamation
of character.
Students could sue their professors
over lack of interest, or vice versa.
Myself, on the other hand, feel like
suing the human race whenever I see a
dead animal lying in the street.
Just have your lawyer call mine. I'll
see you in court.

Question: What is white, weighs
approximately 200 pounds, is pointed on
one end, and could be the next governor
of Alabama?
Answer: Charlie Graddick, Bill Bax-ley
or even Guy Hunt.
The election is five days away, do you
know where your vote is?
Let's take a look at each of the candi­dates
who could lead the people of Ala­bama
into a new Age of Enlightenment.
Charlie Graddick: Of the candi­dates,
he is the' one I like least. He was
wronged by the Democratic Party's
decision to appoint Baxley as its runoff
candidate, something that disgusted me
to no end, but now that all the avenues of
the court system have been used, it is
time for Charlie to get out.
Get out and let Baxley and Hunt go- at
it, please. Alabama politics has taken a
beating and needs to heal.
The main thing that makes Grad­dick*
8 campaign so unsavory is his try­ing
to come off as a martyr of the Demo­cratic
cause and the savior of Alabama's
people.
In a recent press release, he compared
his write-in campaign to the signing of
the Declaration of Independence. That's
taking things a bit too far.
The Declaration of Independence was
a declaration of freedom from the
oppression of the British rule.
Graddick's write-in campaign is a last
ditch effort to regain lost dignity and to
make a bigger mess of an already out-of-control
mess.
If the people of Alabama wanted to
declare independence from oppressive
rule, then they should, at least, vote
against the Democrats.
Let's not forget that Graddick broke
the rules also by using his power as
attorney general to force pollsters to
accept crossover votes.
Bill Baxley: The master of the dirty
race. Forget the issues, lets go for the
jugular.
A clone of Gov. George Wallace, Bax­ley
will only do what the Wallace Dyn­asty
has been doing for years: Cut public
education funds to keep the people of
Alabama ignorant, so they might vote
for him again. ,",/ „...4 , . _
There's no doubt that there has Been a >
heavy amount of mud being slung byv
both sides, but from the beginning Bax­ley
carried his dirt in a dump truck.
It's obvious that the Democratic Party
wants Baxley as evidenced by its five-man
decision to give Baxley the runoff,
but I don't think they realized that they.
shot the Democratic Party right in the
foot.
Guy Hunt: At first this was the man.
A Republican governor of Alabama
would be a pleasant change.
However, one would be hard pressed to
find anyone less qualified for the job of
governor: A probate judge and an
Amway salesman?
Hunt is a good man; however, he is
running on a Republican steamroller
that is fueled by Democratic dissent,
which might run out before Nov. 4.
He has also come under the onslaught
of the Baxley dumptruck, as evidenced
by the recent press coverage of Hunt's
none-too-glorious past.
Let's look under your rug Mr. Baxley,
or should I say sheet?
I am a Republican and tend to lean
toward Hunt in this race, but if he gets
elected how are he and the lieutenant
governor going to work together?
The next lieutenant governor will be
Jim Folsom Jr.
Don McGriff is trying hard, but the
name of "Big Jim" is just too big in this
state.
Given Hunt's inexperience, he will
have to rely a great deal on those around
him who will, most likely, be Democrats.
Not a good situation for him or the
state.
Appealing to the issues does no good
in this race, because there really isn't
any one issue that the candidates have
to take a stand on.
They wouldn't have time to discuss
issues anyway, because they're too busy
calling each other crooks and scumbags.
Instinct can be the only guide in a race
of this kind.
Try to get a grasp on which candidate
is pursuing the office in the interest of
the people or in the interest of himself.

This nation can reverse trend on support
October 1986 marks an important
anniversary in world history. It was this
month 30 years ago that the people of
Hungary staged a revolution to over­throw
the pro-Soviet communist
government there.
The United States had pledged its
support, seemingly willing to go as far
as air support. However, at the last min­ute,
President Eisenhower backed out.
The revolution was crushed.
Was that the last time we would turn
our back on potential allies? Certainly
not.
Does the Bay of Pigs ring a bell? It's
another good example of what happens
when a president loses his nerve. This
time it was everybody's pal, Jack
Kennedy.
It seems the CIA had trained a couple
of thousand Cubans (who had fled Cas­tro's
communist dictatorship) to storm a
beach, distribute weapons and ulti­mately
overthrow Castro.
But everybody's pal Jack Kennedy,
sans backbone, called off the fighter
cover right when the freedom fighters
needed it. They were trapped on the
beach, and communism scored another
victory.
Today, the United States has a chance
to reverse this trend.
President Reagan scored a win when
his $ 100 million aid package was finally
approved by Congress. Freedom fight­ers
in Nicaragua now at least have a
semi-decent chance of bringing the
communist Sandinista government to
the negotiating table.
Of course, negotiations may not be the
Contras' real goal. They might want,
God forbid, to establish a democratic
form of government in Nicaragua.
I can hear the liberals gasping at the
thought. "Another Vietnam!" they cry.
It's just one more communist
government in our back yard.
And I imagine there are certain people
who prefer the word "leftist" to "com­munist,"
so I'll try and watch myself.
: In fact, most of the liberals in the U.S.
Kevin
BROUGHTON
House of Representatives fought the
issue. They even defeated the package
less than a year ago, the first time it
came up. Time for plot twist
Soon after the Contra Aid bill was
defeated, Nicaraguan "President"
Daniel Ortega took a trip to Moscow and
visited with Soviet leaders. He even had
his picture made while embracing which­ever
one of those Russians was in charge
then. I think it was Chernenko, just
before he kicked the bucket.
Anyway, Ortega's trip to Russia
seemed to get the attention of certain
members of the Democratic party,
mostly the ones who had voted against
aiding the Contras. Time for a re-vote.
So last spring, the liberals seemingly
saw the light, and maybe they even saw
the danger of another Soviet puppet tod
close to our border. At any rate, we have
finally seen fit to help some freedom-loving
people accomplish their
objective.
Still, some groups here in America are
seeing red over it. Religious groups dem­onstrated
in front of the Capitol the
week of the final vote. "Stop the
bloodshed," they wailed and moaned.
I wonder if they know that all but a
few of the churches in Ortega's Nicara­gua
have been shut down. Atheism is the
only acceptable religion in communist, I
mean, leftist countries.
The news media likes to abuse Reagan
for his decision to help the Contras.
They forget to tell us that several
newspapers in the capital city of
Managua have been shut down for
expressing anti-Marxist views.
Maybe I'm over-simplifying the issue.
But I don't see why liberals feel we
should just ignore communism. And
when those people, are dead-set against
helping freedom loving people in other
countries, I would question how much
they value the freedom we are all blessed
with.
I believe the Soviet Union is a dicta­torship,
and its policies of world domi­nation
are far more dangerous and
wrong than Apartheid.
I believe this country needs to
evaluate its priorities, and figure out
which is more detrimental to our nation,
investing with South Africa or having
50,000 more armed communists a few
hundred miles from our border.

Jabama legislature can
•lay educational roulette
Robert
MAUND
'-'
Growing up, I remember going to ele-
Imentary school every weekday morn-ling,
full of purpose and thinking that
[this was what kids my age were sup-
I posed to do. I was supposed to go to
[school, study hard and become a respon­sible
member of society. Not once did I
[ever doubt the existence of the institu­tion
of education. Of course, that was
(when I thought my teachers were the
enemy, working as volunteers solely to
make my life miserable. Still, this is
what I was supposed to be doing in order
| to become a productive citizen.
Since that time, however, I've learned
| that teachers actually aren't the enemy,
I they do get paid for their jobs (however
little), and they exist solely to help
enhance the knowledge of future genera-
' tions. That's quite a challenging
responsibility. Think about it. Future
generations are depending upon us to
take education seriously enough so that,
hopefully, the world will be a better place
when we leave than when we first got
here.
Let's take a look at Alabama.
Recently, Auburn's Board of Trustees,
after careful consideration of the Uni­versity's
budget following the state's
proration, approved a tuition increase to
be implemented in the spring and fall of
1987. The reason for the increase is
fairly simple. We had no choice. The
University's budget was cut so severely
by proration that a tuition increase, as a
last resort, was called in to save the qual­ity
of education that Auburn offers its
students.
Why the sudden rash of budget-cutting?
The legislature appropriates a
certain amount of money to the Univer­sity
based on projected revenues. The
problem here is that actual collections of
revenue are falling below expectations
— about 20 million dollars below projec­tions
for Auburn University.
Things were so simple in elementary
school. Why can't we accurately predict
expected revenues?
One reason is that the Alabama Spe­cial
Education Trust Fund, which funds
state appropriations for education, is
Foy Union
rules and keep
based primarily on sales and income
taxes, both of which are highly sensitive
to fluctuations in the economy. And we
wonder why our state's projected and
actual revenues don't match.
The state's educational funding is far
too precious to be based upon such an
unpredictable source. The legislature
needs to take a serious look at the tax
structure, with an emphasis on stabi­lizing
educational funding. Some tax
measures have been proposed, but few (if
any) of these measures specifically con­sider
the Educational Trust Fund. Per­haps
property taxes could help to pro­vide
a more stable economic base of
support. Some have even indicated that
they would support higher taxes in order
to improve education. Don't get me
wrong. I wouldn't dare suggest a tax
increase without careful consideration
of possible revisions in the current tax
structure first. After all, I'm a flag-waving
Ronald Reagan fan.
Naturally, the tax problem is not the
only source of our educational dilemma.
When I went to elementary school, I
didn't have any input into which school
I attended. I went where I was zoned.
However, higher education is funda­mentally
different. One deserves a
choice of colleges, no matter where he
lives. However, Alabama, based on the
number of people in the state, is trying to
support too many institutions on higher
education, needlessly duplicating
efforts and costs. Given our funding
problems, the result is an institutional
dogfight for money, and in the end, an
educational disaster.
Alabama needs to seriously consider
consolidation of some of these institu­tions,
with an increased emphasis
placed upon the state's two major insti­tutions,
Auburn and Alabama. Yes,
Alabama too.
The point here is our state's leaders
must place an increased emphasis upon
education. We simply cannot expect the
state of Alabama to progress forward
without sponsoring quality education
programs for our citizens. From kinder­garten
to graduate school, Alabama
must make an investment in education
in order to attract industry, increased
per capita income, and in general, make
Alabama a better place than when we
got here. After all, that's what we're
supposed to be doing.

jj A friend of mine who had recently
I visited San Diego was telling me about
-• his vacation. He said that he went to a
! Padres baseball game and the ballpark
was selling McDonald's products
alongside the usual stuff you find like
hot dogs, peanuts and souvenirs. It was
[ at this time that I uttered the obvious,
"That's rather strange, nobody else
serves McDonald's in their ballparks."
What I didn't realize is that
McDonald's was founded by the late
owner of the Padres, Ray Kroc, and that
his family still owns both McDonald's
and the San Diego Padres. It then
seemed perfectly logical to me that the
owner of a baseball team would want his
product available for consumption so
that he can promote both products at the
same time without any addi­tional
expense. This makes good
business sense.
I guess if you looked hard enough, you
could probably find this business notion
of 'killing two birds with one stone'
everywhere. For example, what is the
most likely canned soft drink that would
appear in the employees' lounge at the
Coco-Cola factory? Coke, of course. The
reason is not because the employees
prefer the taste, but because it's a cheap,
efficient venue to promote their product.
It is the same reason why the Foy
Union Management lets the UPC paint
all over the windows next to War Eagle
Cafeteria. It is the same reason why the
Foy Union Management should leave
the radio on WEGL. And that is exactly
what is written in subpoint six of the Foy
Union Desk Manager's Guide. It says
"The radio station should be kept on
WEGL." Just like Coke is promoted for
money, WEGL should be promoted for
an increase in listenership.
There has been a lot of commotion
recently about the Foy Union Desk
Managers and their reluctance to put
WEGL on while they are working. In the
heat of the conflict, the 'people with all
the answers' indignantly begrudge,
"The rules contain the word 'should' in
it, so that allows us to use our own
discretion or obey customers when they
tell us to turn it off."
Unfortunately this retort is rather ill-conceived
denying the actual reasoning
behind why the word should is in there.
As in the case of the Coca-Cola factory,
taste is not a concern. The only concern
is the promotion of your product and not
of a rival product It is for this reason
why KISS FM shouldnever be played through •
out Foy Union.
Additionally, the word 'should' has
always meant a basic allegiance
(Oxford English Dictionary), warranted
(Ballantine's Law Dictionary). It is the
basic verb in the US Constitution and
the Declaration of Independence. Think
of what could happen to the Bill of
Rights in future years if the world should
allowed somebody to just violate a rule
whenever they wanted. It would have
about as good a chance of surviving in
the United States with each new leader
as WEGL has of being played in Foy
Union with each desk manager shift.
Another quip is "We turn it on in the
mornings and people tell us to turn it
off." The people that usually ask in the
mornings are the secretaries who work
in other offices that have volume control
in them. These people should be forced to
turn down the volume in their offices.
What do you think would happen to the
Coca-Cola employee who constantly
whined about the quality of soft drinks
in their lounge? They would fire him.
The Coke people certainly aren't going
to stock their lounges with Pepsi even if
all of their employees wanted it.
Why, Foy Union? Why are you
playing something that is not in the
better interests of this University and
one of its affiliates. You are the student
union and are considered a shelter of
campus organizations (housing more
than 30), why are you intentionally
violating one of your own rules?
Could the student union hate the
student radio station that much as to
break rules for the sake of not having to
hear different music than they're use to
hearing? Only time will tell.

Hunt-McGriff will represent state change
Editor, The Plainsman:
Amidst all the accusations, allega­tions
and Democratic runoff confusion,
the remaining question for Nov. 4 has
been, and still is simple.
Does future progress for Alabama
require a change from present Alabama
political leadership?
Let's look at the raw results of deci­sions
made by our state's leaders.
An overwhelmingly popular bill, tort
reform, was brought before the legisla­ture
and effectively killed in the Senate,
for apparent political reasons, by Lt.
Gov. Bill Baxley.
As a consequence of a lack of legisla­tion,
25 counties have no prenatal care
services today.
In a state that levies special taxes on
lodge owners, bus lines and building
contractors, Gov. George Wallace
declared proration in four different
budgets because state budget projec­tions
for the 1986 and 1987 fiscal years
were $200 million over a $3 billion
budget.
As for waste in state government,
there are more than 500 agencies, com­missions
and boards under state
government.
Hunt ads are
libelous material
from Democrats
Editor, The Plainsman:
I have recently seen some ads about
Guy Hunt that should not be allowed on
television.
These ads show a man with his back to
the camera who is supposedly Guy
Hunt. This is not Guy Hunt, but some­one
who may look a little like Guy Hunt.
I hope everyone who sees the ads will
realize that this is just another attempt
by the Democratic Party to deceive the
people of Alabama.
This appears to be libelous material,
but maybe anything goes in politics.
From what I have heard, Guy Hunt does
not plan to get down in the gutter with
those who are attacking him.
Guy Hunt is ahead now and that is the
reason for these vicious attacks by those
who are afraid they are going to lose
control of government in this state.
The best thing that can happen is for
the Democratic,TarTtv and Bill-Baxley
s will realizefoat'suecessful rou#slingjjng
is a thing of the past in this state.

While our fellow Southern states rel­ish
advances in education and indus­trial
growth, which are directly related,
industry finds Alabama prorating edu­cation
budgets and postponing educa­tional
reforms.
As much as a sound educational sys­tem
is beneficial to achieving growth
creating jobs, a stable political climate
is advantageous.
The current political leadership has
made political stability extinct within
its ranks.
No one on the Democratic ticket has
criticized its parties actions or decisions.
As for a commentary on political
ethics in Alabama, the State Ethics
Commission doesn't have subpeona
power, but a Democratic Party sub-committe
possessed subpeona power
enforceable by contempt.
How can we insure that changes are
forthcoming so that we can keep college
graduates from leaving the state to find
employment, keep Alabamians from
defending their home state's economic
and political climate and keep career
politicians and their baggage out of
office?

A vote for the Guy Hunt—Don
McGriff ticket is a remedy for a state on
the critical list.
With a pro-business Hunt administra- .'
tion coupled with legislative support j
from McGriff, a pro-industry tax struc- j
ture with enterprise zones, a revamped j
Alabama Development Office and an
Alabama selling offensive could become
a reality.
Government budgeting based on
dependable tax sources, not tax
increases or a gambit of tax gimmicks,';
could become an actuality.
A legitimate State Ethics Commission !
which could expose corrupt state officers
combined with an end to political job';
trade-offs for election year support,'-
would purify state government.
The Democratic ticket of Baxley and
Jim Folsom Jr., reeks of past ineptitude
and has offered Alabamians only a gua- -
rantee of future mismanagement.
Guy Hunt and Don McGriff truly repre­sent
a requested change in state
government.

Three stooges are combatants
Editor, The Plainsman:
Baxley, Hunt and Graddick...Moe,
Larry and Curly. The three combatants
for the Alabama governor's chair, I'm
sure, given the chance, would gladly add
eye gouging and pie fighting to their
repertoire. Why, the rest of the nation
must be rolling in the aisles with laugh­ter
after the last few months of this
show. And it would be funny here, too, if
i^wgreji'tsoFserious, so tragic hr? ?;,,-
Tn last week's Plainsman, Steve Smith
of Birmingham exhorted every Alabam-ian
to become a candidate by writing in
his or her own name on the ballot. This,
he said, would be a protest, sending a
message that the people of Alabama will
have no more of this nonsense. Others
have recommended writing in the name
of one of the former candidates, Fob
James for instance, writing in "none of
the above," or not voting for anyone for
governor.
Yet, all of this overlooks one crucial
fact. Whether we like it or not, one of the
three stooges mentioned above is going'.,
to be the next governor of this state. Aa
such, he will make history as the man'
taking over the reins of state govern-'T
ment from the dynasty of George Wal­lace.
He will inevitably shape the course:
of this state for the next several years. •:
Every Alabama voter has a chance to.','
help write that history at the polls next>
Tuesday. At his rally in Auburn last
week, after b,e ;had finished slamming
the Republicans and Graddick.BiU Bax-'
ley said one thing that made sense. He'
said every Alabamian should use his or'
her own vote intelligently to choose the"'
man who will do the best job of leading*
this state into the future.
When all the rhetoric is pushed aside,'
that is the one clear truth. We may not
like any of the three candidates, but one.,
of them is going to get the job anyway, so,
don't abdicate your responsibility to;
pick which one. Be part of history in the
making.

Teaching or Research?
Research and teaching should be equal
Editor, The Plainsman
As a longtime member of the teaching
faculty I am deeply offended by the atti­tude
expressed in the remarks attributed
to the Vice President for Research in the
Oct. 16, Plainsman. They suggest that
teaching is a secondary and unimpor­tant
function of Auburn University,
especially undergraduate teaching. I
very well understand his use of the term
"practical." It means "able to bring in
grant money." I should like to dispute
his premises and judgment on several
points.
1. As a result of concerted efforts over
more than 25 years, especially under the
leadership of Presidents Draughon and
Philpott, Auburn developed from a "cow
college" to a true university, offering in
nearly every field taught here the
strongest undergraduate major in the
state. If this were Massachusetts or
California, where the state junior and
four-year college systems have been
designed with strong undergraduate
curricula to feed well-prepared gradu­ates
into one or a few state-supported
graduate schools, then Auburn might
reasonably try to be the Berkeley of the
southeast. But unfortunately that is not
the case in Alabama. The people of this
state may not be supporting higher edu­cation
very well, but they deserve at
least one academically respectable insti­tution
to which they can send their
children at in-state tuition rates. Why
destroy by neglect a good school that
has been 30 years a-building?
Auburn does get a lion's share of Ala­bama's
and the region's ablest students.
We owe them the best undergraduate
and graduate educations possible. That
is not always provided by persons preoc­cupied
with getting grants. Of the three
or four finest teachers I had (at Ken­tucky
and Purdue, also land grant col­leges),
only one won a Nobel Prize.
2. Auburn has some excellent
researchers who have done significant
work over the years. I know some of
them who now never darken the door of
their laboratory; they sit at their desks
writing grant proposals. Their students
are doing the work? Perhaps — in a nar­row
field, as cheap labor. This is the way
to produce the next generation of
research scientists with broad education
and experience, who can make original
contributions in the future?
My observation is that excessive
dependance on grants, whether from
industry or government, inhibits the
kind of fundamental research that uni­versities
traditionally provide. Mission-oriented
research may be, and often is,
successful in solving short range, spe
cific problems. But it seldom provides for
the freeranging imagination to ask new
questions that lead to the kind of unfor-seen
discoveries upon which future
technologies can be built.
I expect I appear old-fashioned and
out of touch with reality, but I am simply
pleading for Auburn to keep faith with
its historic mission: Teaching, Research
and Extension. This is not an order or
priorities; they are intended to be equal
in importance to the University and to
the state and the nation it serves.
Sorry I missed last week's deadline. I
had 206 tests in a 100-level course to
grade over the weekend, without help. I
thought getting them back on Monday
took priority over telling off a VP.

Teaching new ideas means research
I JJA fill T*I _ 2 ^""^ Editor, The Plainsman: m l - _•- — » / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ! _ I I 11 . > * 1«4M • * ! * •
In a lead article of the Oct. 16, 1986,
Plainsman, a statement was made that
"excellent researchers make bad
teachers." The fallacy of this statement
is apparent when one considers care
fully the academic research process.
Academic research is the generation
of new knowledge, and the communica­tion
of that knowledge — first to profes­sional
peers and then to society. Because
the communication component of
research involves convincing journal
editors and peer reviewers (who are not
unlike college students in that they tend
to be skeptical) that the knowledge is
indeed new and useful, research is in
fact a process of educating.
Thus, "researchers" are really
"teachers" in the conventional sense of
the term. The difference is that excellent
researchers (I am assuming they are
considered "excellent" because they
have prodigious articles in the presti­gious
journals of their disciplines) teach
an expanded audience consisting of not
only college students, but also profes­sional
colleagues and others who have a
general interest in the research results.
It may be that those "researchers" are
not as good in the classroom as others
who choose to teach college students,
exclusively.
But to say that they are bad teachers
ignores the excellent job they are doing
at expanding the frontier of knowledge
and teaching this knowledge to society.
Moreover, prolific journal publica­tions
is an indication of high intellectual
commitment to ones' professional disci­pline.
It appears improbable that a per­son
who is so committed to an effective
at pushing the frontier of knowledge
would be uniterested or ineffective at
sharing knowledge (old or new)
others in an informal classroom setting.
University professors need to do it all:
teach college students, teach colleagues, £
and teach the community and society. «i
But to teach colleagues they need to
have something new to convey.
That takes research.

Denton gouges education, not defense
Moonies collect names, numbers
Editor, The Plain'sman:
Editor, The Plainsman:
Back in February of 1985 Senator
Denton said that the government
"couldn't feed everybody's druthers"
and that we couldn't "gouge" money
from the defense budget to fund student
aid and other such programs. It is a
shame that the senator doesn't see any
value in an educated American public.
Denton has voted time and again to cut.
funding for higher education while re­fusing
to cut his beloved defense budget.
I am for a strong defense, but I am not
for giving the Pentagon a blank check
while we eliminate opportunities for
bright and talented young people.
Tuitions for state-funded institutions
are about to increase and parents will
find it more difficult than ever to send
their children to college. Can we afford
to cut back on higher education when it
is more critical now than ever that Ala­bama
produce college graduates to lead
this state to a better future? Without
educated people this state will continue
to stagnate and lag behind the rest of the
country. Denton does not realize this
and it only serves to reinforce that Den­ton
is out of touch with the needs of his
state.
For Alabama to prosper we must have
progressive leadership in Washington
that is responsive to the needs of our
state. Denton cuts higher education
funding which our state so desperately
needs. I don't understand how you can
say "Denton for Alabama" when he
denys his constituents the opportunity
to expand their minds and better their
lives.
Finally, senator, if Alabamians con­cerned
with education are "gouging" the
defense budget, then you're "gouging"
this state and we'll quit when you do.

I was on campus Monday when I
noticed a woman and an Oriental man
asking passer-bys to sign a form. These
forms are being used to gather signa­tures
and telephone numbers of those
supporting Christianity and renouncing
Communism. I said great.
But, after a little reminiscing I
remembered a group known as CARP.
Four or five men and women, several of
which were Oriental, were gathering
signatures for this same worthy cause.
Yet, this cause is for more than it seems
because the Rev. Moon of South Korea
was their leader and sponsor. After
remembering all this, I approached the
man on Monday and asked him if their
organization was affiliated with Moon.
To this he replied "Yes, thank you."
Several students who were already sign­ing
the forms immediately scratched out
their names. If you believe in Moon's
ideals and want to support him, then go
ahead and sign.
But, beware, you just gave your name
and number to the newest organization
who hides under the guise of their more
popular name, the Moonies.

Business gets executive-in-residence
By Colleen Moran
Staff-Writer
•After receiving a cash stipend
from Yellow Freight Motor Car­rier,
the University's College of
Business invited a member of the
company's staff to be an
executive-in-residence for the fall
quarter.
^Michael C. Haughton, vice
president for human resources
for Yellow Freight Systems Inc.,
was named.
|"He is called an executive-in-residence
because he will be stay­ing
for a couple of days, and will
be at our disposal," Dr. James
Adams, associate professor of
transportation, said.
Haughton will be visiting
classes that are relevant to his
interests and will be lecturing
and speaking with students and
some local businessmen.
"We are looking for rapport
between the people and Haugh­ton,"
Adams said.
He will be attending classes in
economics of transportation,
labor management negotiations,
principles of marketing and
transportation and regulated
industries.
Before going to Yellow Freight
in 1985, Haughton was the
human relations manager for
Cracker National Bank, person­nel
director for Wishbone Salad
Dressing and senior vice presi­dent
for personnel at Macy's Inc.
At Yellow Freight Haughton is
responsible for personnel admin­istration,
employee benefits, cor­porate
communications and
compensation and human
resource development.
Adams said one of the business
school's programs is to introduce
successful businessmen to
students.
"We ask an industrial leader to
visit Auburn and interact with
us. We want to increase the per­spective
of the business enter­prise,"
he said.

The University Small Business
Development Center helps small
businesses in the six-county
area and it served to secure more
than $1 million in government
contracts in the last fiscal year.
The Alabama Small Business
Procurement System works out of
the Small Business Development
Center at Auburn, a branch of the
School of Business.
The system is a statewide com­puter
network that provides
small businesses in Alabama
with information on federal,
state and local government
contracts.
In a recent press release,
Wayne Glass, coordinator for the
Auburn service area for the Ala­bama
Small Business Procure­ment
system said that the system
does not necessarily lead to a con­tract
award each time, but it
helps the companies that use it
have a much greater chance of
receiving a contract later.
Glass added that statewide
Alabama small businesses
brought in more than $20 million
in government contracts using
the system, costing taxpayers an
annual sum of only $90,000 to
operate.
The center is located in Thach
Hall and there is no charge for
the service.

FOR GOVERNOR
A FRIEND OF
EDUCATON
Bill Baxley is the only candidate for governor who talks about educa­tion
issues. He is the only candidate who has consistently supported
education. Bill Baxley is the only candidate who has spoken out on
behalf of Auburn University and the only one to actually do anything for
Auburn University. He has supported Auburn University even when it
was not politically popular to do so. He got more funds for the AU Library,
led the fight for the Eminent Scholars Act and helped AU get increased
funding three of the past four years.
Only Bill Baxley is committed to education. Only Bill Baxley sees the
importance of education for Alabama. While others use code words for
cutting education budgets, Bill Baxley has consistently fought for ade­quate
support for education. The last time a governor started slashing
the budget, education was the first to be cut, and the state's economy
took a nosedive. Can we afford another governor who does not appre­ciate
education? Bill Baxley cares about education and Auburn Univer­sity.

Guerin counts on dispute,
young, doubtful voters
By Bret Pippen
News Editor
Emotions.
The motivation for the people
n the state to vote is emotions,
according to Whit Guerin of
Auburn, and emotions are
unning high concerning the
governor's controversy.
Guerin is hoping that emotions
will give him a chance in an
therwise bleak run for the U.S.
House of Representative seat in
District 3.
The 35-year-old Republican is
running against 20-year incum­bent
and Democrat Bill Nichols.
Guerin is the first to admit that
lis otherwise sagging campaign
i a s been boosted by the
overnor's race controversy
>etween Lt. Gov. Bill Baxley and
Attorney General Charlie
Grraddick.
"Since he's been in office for so
ong, I thought his support would
lave been a lot stronger," Guerin
aid. "He's beginning to spend
money."
In addition to counting on the
governor's race dispute, Guerin is
counting on the doubtfulness of
some of the Democratic voters in
the area.
"The doubtfulness will only be
a difference of 6-7 percent, and it
is one of the reasons I got in this,"
he said. "I researched voting
records and found that the people
were voting more and more
Republican, and the group that is
turning to Republican the most is
the 18-34 year olds and the
average age of the voter in this
district is 28."
Guerin also found that 50
percent of the voters in the
district are undecided.
He comes to the race with no
public office experience and with
the goal to attract the younger
voters and the disillusioned older
Democrats.
Another reason he cited for
running for the first time is
his experience as a Certified

Libertarian Party excites candidate
Whit Guerin
By Stephanie Warnecke
Staff Writer
"I have never taken money by
force, kept some for myself and
then gave the rest to someone
else, like the Republican and
Democratic politicians elected to
office," John Sebastian said
when asked if he had ever held a
public office.
Most people have not heard of
John Sebastian, the Libertarian
candidate for governor.
According to Sebastian, the
increasingly difficult ballot
access laws and limited resources
available to a third party candi­date
have made it next to impos­sible
for him to be popularly
known.
He is not overly enthuasiatic
about campaigning, calling it a
"messy business." He is, how­ever,
excited about the Libertar­ian
party and vowed that he
would do anything the party
asked of him, whether it is run­ning
for governor or stuffing
envelopes.
The Libertarian Party's basic
premise is that everyone should
be free to do whatever he wants
except by force or fraud. They call
for minimal government inter­vention,
minimal taxation, elim­ination
of gun control and "pri­vatization"
of education.
Taxation is giving one man the
right to decide where another
man's paycheck will go, accord­ing
to Sebastian.
Taxation should be cut to the
absolute minimum possible in
order to free the individual from
the "army of kleptocrats admin*
istering our money," Sebastian '•
said.
"Judges have become almost
tyrants," Sebastian said. If
elected, Sebastian said -he will'
push to allow the victim of the
crime to pronounce the sentence.';
He said this is the only way to
deter crime. He also says that the'
"right to keep and bear arms will
not be infringed in any manner."
"The state takes people's chil­dren
and forces them to believe'
things that might be against,
your beliefs," Sebastian said.

Grades -from A-l
ment's faculty members on
whether they want an ad hoc
committee appointed to recom­mend
a proposal for the change to
President James Martin.
Gossett said he has received
some feedback from faculty sena­tors
but refused to comment on
the nature of the responses.
Brandt also refused to com­ment
on the proposal until the
Faculty Senate makes a recom­mendation.
Student Government Associa­tion
President Robert Maund
said that he agrees the new sys­tem
would "more accurately
reflect the professor's assessment
of a student's performance."
Maund said the only problem
he sees with the proposed system
is that it does not designate what
constitutes a specific grade. He
said he feels the system needs to
designate, for example, an A is
95-100.
Gossett hopes to have a report
on faculty reaction at the next
faculty senate meeting.
Whit from A-9
Public Accountant.
"About 90 percent of Congress'
time is spent in budgeting and
appropriating of money, and we
have only four CPAs in
Congress," he said. "I'd love to be
on budget or House Ways and
Means Committee, but there is
not much opportunity for a
freshman congressman."
His main platform issue is the
attracting of industry, some­thing,
he said in which the state
is sorely lacking.
"When you go out of the state,"
he said, "it makes you realize
that Alabama is being left
behind. The 3rd District is one of
the poorest districts in the state.
Anniston is the ninth poorest city
in the country.
"I think the reason we're not
recruiting industry is because of
the overall political environ­ment."
liuerin said he hopes that there
will be a shift from an anti-business
environment that has
passed legislation that has
handcuffed industry. He said,
"For three or four years, we had
so many lawsuits that companies
were thinking of closing their
doors.
"Gov. George Wallace has
always attacked big business,
and you can only attack industry
for so long before it gets the mes­sage.
What we need is a Republi-c
a n c o n g r e s s m a n , gover­nor
and president. The Republi­cans
have some ideas of how to
attract industry:
"The Federal government
could create tax incentives to per­suade
industry to move into these
areas, but these are always voted
down by the Democratic con­trolled
Congress."
However, Guerin faces not only
an uphill battle with the Demo­crats,
but also with the state
Republican Party's support
being concentrated on Guy Hunt,
candidate for governor, Sen.
Jeremiah Denton and other more
important district races.
"Win, lose or draw I've learned
something by this," he said. "I
wish we could talk about what
concerned me, like the economy,
recruiting industry and educa­tion.
But we've got a serious prob­lem,
the people are interested in
the governor's race."
Married to Suzanne A. Rebois,
Guerin has two childen, Abby, 5,
and Anna, 2.
"I've learned a lot about polit­ics,"
he said. "I know of some
qualified people who won't run,
because I think that they don't
want to put their families
through a campaign. I've enjoyed
about 90 percent of it."
Aid
dents.according to Ridgeway.
But, he said, the $30,000
income s t i p u l a t i o n will be
dropped with the new legislation.
It states that any student,even
those with an income of less than
$30,000,must demonstrate finan­cial
need.
The requirements looked at to
determine this need will remain
the same; therefore, it may be
harder for a large number of stu­dents
to prove the need for assis­tance.
"I think because of the cost of
the Federal government of the
program and in order to cut down
on outlay of Federal funds, they
are making stronger restric­tions,"
Ridgeway said.
. Another factor of the new bill
that may have an adverse effect
on students is the provision that
-continued from A-2
prevents students from borrow­ing
from a bank or lending insti­tution
if they are receiving other
types of aid, Ridgeway said.
For an example, Ridgeway said
that from the $5,298 annual Uni­versity
cost estimate, there is an
expected family contribution of
$2,000 from a family with a
$30,000 income. That leaves
$3,298 that can be received
through a Pell Grant, work study
of some other from of aid.
As of now, the student can bor­row
the $2,000 family contribu­tion
through the use of a GSL as
well as receiving the other finan­cial
aid.
This ability to borrow the fam­ily
contribution will be elimi­nated
with the new bill, Ridge­way
said.

Staff Writer
George Lawson, Porter Roberts
and Tom Standard love Auburn
and Auburn football. For years,
during the worst and best foot­ball
seasons, they have packed
their recreational vehicles with
food, family and plenty of orange
and blue and headed for the
plains of Auburn.
In all their roadtrips, they have
never had a problem with
parking.
However, this football season,
Lawson and a number of other
football followers were upset by
the changes in recreational vehi­cle
parking procedures.
The Traffic and Parking
Committee this fall designated
the Coliseum parking lot as a
Zone F lot for students and res­tricted
the parking of recrea­tional
vehicles in the lot until
noon on Friday.
Both changes moved some
alumni members to protest the
decision.
"We are trying to be nice about
it, but we feel betrayed," Lawson,
a 1957 graduate, said, adding
that the decision was working to
separate the Auburn family he
has loved for years. "Someone is
trying to separate our family and
when we find out who it is we will
try to separate that someone from
Auburn University."
Porter, a 1944 graduate in civil
engineering, thought the deci­sion
was made without consider­ing
recreational vehicles and
promised to cut off his money
donations. "We don't need idiots
like that in authority. The Coli­seum
should not be used as per­manent
parking but for football,
special events and basketball,"
he said.
In past years, the Coliseum lot
was not used for Zone F parking;
therefore, visitors could park
recreational vehicles in the lot as
early as Wednesday evening for
the game on Saturday.
But now the alumni members
say parking at the coliseum has
become a waiting game.
Last week, Lawson and his
family did not get parked until
late. "Since we are not allowed to
enter the lot until noon we didn't
get parked until 6:30 p.m." He
added that even then some people
were still not parked.
The alumni members agreed
that Auburn does have a problem
with student parking but
believed the recent decision was a
hard slap in the face.
"We're a bunch of stomped on
people," Tom Standard said, "In
a nutshell, it just hurts our1
feelings."
At the end of the game Satur­day
some fans were still upset
and felt forgotten with the new
restrictions, but said they would
keep returning to Auburn to see
the Tigers play ball.
"I don't care if they make me
park in Opelika. I'd still come
because I love Auburn," Stand­ard
said.
