Alumnus withdraws financial support
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
A member of the Board of
Directors of the University
Foundation has suspended further
donations to the University
until conflict of interest questions
have been resolved.
Because of the indictment of
Alumni Association Director
Jerry Smith by the Ethics Committee,
Jimmy Goodwin, who
has donated approximately $7
million to Auburn, has resigned
from his Board of Directors
position.
"I cannot serve on this Board
under the atmosphere that now
exists at Auburn University,"
Goodwin said in a letter to President
James Martin and other
University officials. "You can
imagine my embarrassment in
taking this action as I have been
so proud to have been a member
of the the Auburn University
Alumni."
Because of his poor health,
Goodwin, 85, was unable to
respond to questions, but in his
letter he said he has indefinitely
suspended obligations to
Auburn, including a "substantial
sum" provided to Auburn in
his will.
The personal affairs of Smith,
many of which are believed to
be in connection with personal
gains by Smith, have created
the conflict of interest which
now exists at Auburn and
among the members of the
Alumni Association, the letter
said.
"It is my humble opinion that
the conflict of interest and the
advantage those guilty have
taken of our dear Auburn have
cost the University several million
dollars in donations and
many millions in reputation,"
the letter said.
Smith has been criticized for
his use of Alumni Association
petty cash funds such as
spending $4,200 on a family
vacation to the Caribbean to
check on a possible site for an
alumni trip.
"I am absolutely amazed that
Smith has not resigned in the
face of the report of the Ethics
Committee which unanimously
cited him for various violations
and many which have not been
brought out," quoted the letter.
On March 31, the Ethics
Commission voted 4-0 that
Smith may have broken a state
ethics law prohibiting state
employees from using public
offices for personal gains.
Smith said in a prepared

Senate accepts
amended bill,
GSO unhappy
Funding issue creates conflict,
original bill unfair, senators say

Assistant News Editor
Trustees hold bond decision
because of ethical concerns
By Paul DeMarco
Assistant News Editor
The Board of Trustees delayed
approval of a $17-million bond
issue last Friday, uncertain of
who can vote for the proposal
without breaking any ethics violations.
The bond would raise money
to pay for the new swim complex
and life sciences building
and to partially fund the new
business school building.
"Several issues were at hand,
and the Trustees deferred to
vote without competent legal
advice," said Thomas Samford,
University legal council.
The advice will be ready by
the June 5 meeting of the
Trustees, he said.
The questions revolved
around three different issues.
The first question concerned
what would constitute a quorum
when six of the eight members
abstained from voting on
the proposal. Of the eight members
present for the committee
meeting, six members abstained
because they were connected in
some way with one of the financial
institutions that were part
of the bond proposals.
"There were not even six people
on the Board that could vote
without causing a conflict of
interest and only two people on
the committee that could, so it
was obvious no action could be
taken," said John Denson,
chairman of the budget committee.
The second issue involved
what would be the necessary
number of votes needed for a
majority approval.
The last issue concerned the
extent of the connection with
the institution necessary to disqualify
the Trustees from the
vote.
"There is no general law that
prohibits voting, but it is almost
a universal practice to not vote
on a proposal in which you are
involved," Samford said. "There
is a provision in the ethics act
that you can't use your public
office for personal gain."
The proposals were submitted
by the company Public Finan-

In its last meeting, the 1988-
89 Student Senate took the first
step In bridging a three-year
gap between the SGA and the
Graduate Student Organization
(GSO) without the blessing of
some GSO representatives.
"What we want from the SGA
is a financial commitment and
that's what we can't get," said
GSO President Bill Revington.
"The disappointment stems
from the (problem) that the idea
is meaningless without money.
We can't do anything without
money."
Budget and Finance (B&F)
Chairman Tripp Haston said,
"We can't just snap our fingers
and give them money. There's
no way we could pass something
this monumental in two
sessions."
Revington said the GSO made
concessions during the bill's
construction, expecting the Senate
to pass it.
"This is the third SGA Senate
that has neglected to deal effectively
with the ongoing concerns
of graduate students on campus,"
he said. "We've done nothing
but compromise this year,
and it's like they reneged on
their deal and can't make a
mature decision."
Haston said, "Three administrations
have been working on
the problem, not three senates.
and progress has been made."
The SGA and GSO now have a
working agreement; the only
problem is money, Haston said.
"Now we have two choices: one
acceptable to us and one
acceptable to them," he said.
The controversy centers on
the Senate's approval Monday of
an amended version of the Articles
of Cooperation between the
GSO and the SGA requiring the
GSO to present funding
requests to the B&F Committee:
The bill passed in a 17-5 vote.
The original bill, introduced at
last week's meeting, proposed
funding the GSO with an allotment
equal to 10 percent of the
previous year's allocation to the
SGA
The bill was tabled until this
week to determine if it complied
with the Finance Law. The original
bill was then turned down
Monday in a 17-6 vote before
the amended bill was approved.
SGA President Cindy Holland
agrees that the bill may not
have pleased everyone. "This is
not the perfect solution, but it's
the one the Senate liked," she
said.
Senators opposed to the original
bill said they thought It was
unfair to the GSO and to other
student organizations.
'Ten percent isn't fair representation
because they (graduate
students) have different
needs," said Todd Smith, engi-

Widening project
narrows cash flow
By Martha Cronk
Staff Writer
Businesses located along
Glenn Avenue have experienced
a decrease in sales
because of the road-widening
project, according to business
representatives.
"It has taken a hunk out of
our business," said Carolyn
Worley, unit supervisor of
Spectrum 13. "It is not worth
it for customers to drive
through the holes to get Into
the parking lot.
"I realize It will eventually be
beneficial."
Bob Walters, manager of
Glendean Gulf, said although
it has dropped, "Business hasn't
been as bad as I thought It
would be."
Once construction is completed,
traffic will transfer
from Opelika Highway and
increase business on Glenn
Avenue, he said.
The Movie Gallery's sales
decreased almost 20 percent
when the construction in front
of Glendean Shopping Center

State considers property tax
Counties may pay more for education
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
A bill pending in the Alabama
Legislature will require school
boards to seek new property tax
by 20 mils as a means of helping
to funding their own systems.
A mil is the equivalent of $1
tax per assessed property value.
A mil in one county may generate
more money than in another
county depending on population
size and average Income.
"Certain schools are not effectively
managing sources," said
Ed Richardson, Lee County
superintendent. "School systems
would have to increase
participation, causing each system
to produce."
Some counties are not putting
an effort into education, said
Keith Ward, director for the AU
Center for Governmental
Services. Everyone should make
an Increased level of effort.
"Education should be everyone's
business. It is everyone's
business," Ward said. "It is
Important."
If the bill passes, each county
will be responsible for raising
money for its education system,
through property taxes,
Richardson said.
Now the funding would have
to come from property taxes
rather than from other taxes
Art by LeeAnnFlynn
such as sales taxes, he said. If
the money was raised through
sales taxes, it would fund something
other than education.
Although the bill is a way to
obtain more money for education,
it will not provide an equal
educational opportunity be-

Economic opportunity increases in summer
Chances for aid grow
as temperatures rise
By Michael Austin
Staff Writer
For students considering
staying on the academic bandwagon
summer quarter but
needing financial support, the
financialaid office says it has
some good news - there's money
for the summertime student.
Summer financial aid is comprised
of monies left over from
the regular school year. "This
summer, contrary to past years,
there is an abundance of aid to
be distributed to students - par-ticulary
those who are eligible
for the College Work Study Program,"
Larry Ridgeway, director
of financialaid, said.
Although those students currently
receiving aid have already
turned in requests for additional
support for the summer
months to American College
Testing (ACT), anyone who
wishes to enroll to get federal
money still has time.
"Any student who does not
already get financial aid has
until May 1 to apply with ACT,"
Ridgeway said.
ACT processes all applications
for financial aid throughout the
country. After completing the
forms for the 1989-90 school
year, ACT will then determine
whether the student is eligible
for any federal money.
"If any student is thinking
about or definitelv plans to
attend school during the summer,
we absolutely encourage
them to apply for financial aid,"
Ridgeway said.
Tax information from parents
or guardians Is required when
submitting the ACT application.
"This information is used In
determining the amount of aid
the student is eligible for."
Ridgeway said.
Those who apply and are able
to get federal money such as a
Pell Grant (money that is provided
by the federal government
and need not be repaid) could
be paid retroactively for previous
quarters they were enrolled
in school, he said.
"Since the Pell Grant program
is aid to be distributed for a full
academic year, or three consecutive
quarters, a student could
conceivably be paid for quarters
past," Ridgeway said.
For example, a student ellgi-

Lighter class loads leave time for work
By Stephanie Read
Staff Writer
Although summer quarter is
usually thought of as a time to
relax, student employment
reaches its peak during these
months, personnel specialist
Nelle Moore said.
"Many students don't take as
heavy of a course load during
summer quarter or stay here to
get their residency and decide to
get a job," Moore said.
"We have work study and a
wide variety of different Jobs on
or off campus that are posted
on our bulletin board in Mary
Martin Hall," she said.
Individual departments also
offer internships which allow
students to make money, gain
knowledge in their particular
field of study and gain University
credit, according to Freda
White, College of Liberal Arts
evaluator.
"For these types of jobs, the
student needs to talk to his designated
department because
each department has specific
qualifications and types of
internships available," White
said.
Moore said, "In the work
study program we have 200 to
300 students, and we will have
about the same or more summer
quarter. We have a total of
1,700 students working right
now, not including Internships."
Although students take a
variety of summer employment,
jobs In agriculture, the facilities
division and student housing
maintenance continue to be the
most popular jobs sought by
students, Moore said.
"I think the strangest jobs I
know of have dealt with working
with animals such as snakes

ASETA protesters
boycott 24th rodeo
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
As people-poured Into the
gates of the Alpha Psl
Roundup Saturday, approximately
14 people stood outside,
waving signs that read
"Rodeo cruelty, not entertainment"
and "Vets should help,
not hurt."
"We are trying to end this
cruelty,"said Susan Bradley,
co-director of the Georgia fund
for animals. 'These animals
are docile, gentle farm animals,
and they are being
roped, tied and tossed.
"The animals do not know
what is going on. They cannot
rationalize humans are Just
having fun," Bradley said.
Because these animals are
docile, they must be filled with
fear or pain to make them
buck or run, said Karen Kite,
president of the Auburn Students
for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals (ASETA).
Bucking straps are often
placed around the flank and
genital regions, causing the
animals to buck because of
the pain. Kite said.
Tim Gardner, president of
Alpha Psl, said Alpha Psi
receives animals that are
trained for rodeos. The Alpha
Psi Roundup is tame compared
to rodeos which occur
across the country, he said.
"This is the most laid-back,
noncompetitive rodeo you will
find. We are just here to have
fun," Gardner said.
Dr. H. C. Morgan, associate
dean of the College of Veterinary
Medicine, agrees, saying
rodeos are widely accepted
spectator events In America.
"I think there is more danger
to the participant than to the
animals," Morgan said. "I
think (the animals) have the

Comm Board reviews editor guidelines
By Vicki Vessels
News Editor
Now that this year's elections
are over, the University Communications
Board is reviewing
qualifications for the campus
media positions.
The concern surfaced after
this year's elections raised some
questions about the ambiguity
of the qualification rules.
In an April 13 meeting of the
University Communications
Board, an executive session was
called to discuss qualifications
of Plainsman editor-elect Paige
Oliver.
The basic qualifications to be
met before campaigning or
applying for any of the media
positions include the candidate
having a 2.0 grade point average
at the time of qualification. After
the election, the editor is only
required to continue to be
enrolled (not necessarily full
time) throughout the school
year.
Now the board Is concerned
that these qualifications need to
be revised, Oliver said.
"What they're looking to
decide is if the ground work that
has been established by the
Communications Board to qualify
for editor is ambiguous," she
said.
"I think the concern with me
is I'm close to that 2.0 requirement,
and they don't want me
if change is needed.
Oliver said she doesn't think
someone with a low GPA would
necessarily be a bad editor, but
he or she would not be as credible
to the University.
"I told them at Comm Board
that if I were to drop below a 2.0
during my tenure, though it is
'I think the concern with me is that I'm
close to that 2.0 requirement...'
-Paige Oliver
to drop below during my
tenure."
Oliver said her GPA is already
below the requirement,
although at the time of qualification,
which was at the end of
fall quarter, she had the 2.0.
An ad hoc committee composed
of SGA President Cindy
Holland, committee chairman
Linn Thomas - both journalism
majors - and Journalism
Department Head Jack Simms
has been charged with deciding
not in the rules or Comm Board
laws, that I would relinquish my
position," she said.
"I don't know that it's something
that they would hold me
to, but it Is certainly something
that I would hold myself up to."
Vice President for Student
Affairs Pat Barnes said nothing
like that has been decided yet.
"The Communications Board
will need to make a decision as
to when her offer might be considered,"
she said. "It may be
appropriate to discuss that
when the ad hoc committee
report comes in."
Oliver also said some opposition
comes from within the staff
itself. Last summer, when she
was editor, Oliver said there
were some problems In staff
management and deadlines that
may have caused some sour
grapes.
A lot of the problems within
the staff also are resulting from
rumors of last summer's difficulties
that spread to staff
members who were not here
then, she said.
It was said on the WEGL talk
show, "On the Air," last Thursday
that Oliver will be entering
the year with a staff that she
won't get along with. "I don't
know how much of that Is true,"
she said.
"I know there has been opposition
from the staff, and I hope
we can resolve that. But it's certainly
not anything that would
make me resign. Some students
have said that if I took over as
Plainsman editor, the paper
would fold. After 95 years, I
don't see that as a problem."

Solomon assumes duties in Faculty Senate
By Vicki Vessels
News Editor
In his final speech as the
1988 89 general faculty chair,
Dr. Ben Fitzpatrick provided his
closing comments on the Alumni
Association situation and his
involvement at Tuesday's general
faculty meeting.
"This is a very, very conservative
faculty," he said. "But you
may again have to act as the
conscience of the University."
Fitzpatrick was alluding to the
1982 Faculty Senate's vote of no
confidence that was instrumental
in University President Han-ley
Funderburk's leaving.
Dr. Miller Solomon, who
stepped into his position as the
1989-90 faculty chair at the
meeting, also commented on the
Association controversy.
"For the good of the University,
none of us spoke publicly
until two weeks ago (after the
Alabama State Ethics Commission
released its recommendations
on the case)," Solomon
said. "I also think it's time for
you to know what I know that
may shed some light on the situation."
Solomon did not elaborate
further on what he meant by
this.
Fitzpatrick said Auburn not
only teaches in the classrooms
and laboratories but also by
example. If senior officials fail to
take action or if those in positions
of authority take what is
not theirs because they have
AFROTC unit earns highest award
By David Sharp
Editor
Auburn's Air Force ROTC has
earned the highest award given
to the nation's AFROTC units,
the Air Force Organizational
Award.
The award places the unit in
the top 15 of 151 AFROTC units
throughout the nation, according
to Col. Ralph B. LeBlanc,
commander of the AFROTC
unit.
LeBlanc attributes the award
to students and the environment.
"I'm not so sure we're
doing a great job, but we're just
working with a great system
and great students," he said.
This is the third time
Auburn's AFROTC has received
the award, he said. The last
time was In 1976.
"I had thought we were doing
a good job, but it's nice to have
someone on the outside verify
that," LeBlanc said.
The award was given for a
two-year period from 1986-
1988, according to Capt. John
C. Jordan, senior class instructor.
During that period, the unit
commissioned 80 officers, ranking
first in the Southeast and
second in the nation.
"We're very proud we got the
award," he said, because the
award shows excellence in several
areas including training,
recruiting, retention and unit
management.
You have to show your performance
was outstanding,"
Jordan said. 'Your accomplishments
have to show you exceeded
the goals."
LeBlanc said the atmosphere
at Auburn has contributed to a
solid ROTC program in all three
branches - Army, Air Force and
Navy/Marines. There are approximately
900 students
enrolled in the three branches
at Auburn, he said.
Other elements contributing
to Auburn's success are a program
steeped in tradition which
is viewed favorably by the
administration, faculty and students,
according to LeBlanc.
Another element is a solid academic
program, he said. "All
these elements together make
for a good detachment," he said.
LeBlanc, a Southern native,
said the values which contribute
to Auburn's success and
reputation are found in the
strong values of the South.
These values include service
to one's community demonstrated
in strong churches. Rotary
Clubs, Boy Scouts and other
service organizations.

wealthy and powerful friends,
that is what the students and
citizenry learn, he said.
The administration has been
a responsible influence in some
aspects of the ordeal, Fitzpatrick
said, citing President
Martin's calling for an audit to
clear up questions of improprieties
and the Board of Trustees'
commissioning a reputable law
firm to conduct an Internal
investigation of the matter.
Smith has either used his
office for personal gain or he
has not, Fitzpatrick said. If
Smith has misused his position,
he should be required to pay
back to the University any
funds he may have received, he
said.
Fitzpatrick said it's time for
the Board of Trustees to act
decisively and quickly.
Another order of business was
the election of the 1989-90
chairman-elect and secretary.
Chosen as chair-elect by the
general faculty members was
Dr. Gary R. Mullen, associate
professor of entomology. Dr.
Sara H. Dinius, associate professor
of accounting, was elected
as secretary.
Martin was present at the
meeting and gave his remarks
on the state of the University.
"Auburn University is making a
major difference in the quality
of life In Alabama and beyond,"
he said.

OCS (Army Officer Candidate School) is a 14-week challenge
to all that's in you... the mental, the physical, the spirit that are part

If OCS were easy, it couldn't do the job. It wouldn't bring out
the leader in you, or help you discover what you have inside.
But when you finish and graduate as a commissioned officer
in the Army, you'll know. You'll know you have what it takes to lead.
And you'll be trim, alert, fit, and ready to exercise the leadership skills
that civilian companies look for.
If you're about to get your degree and you want to develop your

Alaskan disaster
upsets ecosystem
Qtbe^uburn Plamsnran Thursday, April 20,1989
LOWE'S
By Kriste Goad
Staff Writer
The most Immediate environmental
effects of the March 24
Exxon Valdez tanker spill in
Alaska are on aquatic life.
Professor Ann Causey said.
The oil spill, which dumped
about 10 million gallons of oil in
Prince William Sound, endangers
sea otters and bald eagles,
Causey said. "Literally millions
of birds are migrating there now
and eating contaminated foods
or being directly affected by the
oil," she said.
Long-term effects on the environment
could be an increase in
birth defects among affected
wildlife as biodegradable oil
components move through the
food chain. Causey said.
Population reductions will
occur, but no one knows to
what extent, she said.
The oil spill occurred in the
most fragile ecosystem; a relatively
unspoiled one with little
species diversity. Causey said.
"Damage like this is going to be
more acute than in an already
polluted area," she said.
"The only large populations of
bald eagles, grizzly bears, sea
otters and migratory birds in
the U.S. exist in the one last
vast pristine, relatively intact
area of Alaska," Causey said.
'The Gulf of Alaska is no longer
pristine."
Volatile components of oil,
such as gas, have already evaporated
into the air, causing an
increase in hydrocarbons which
are major contributors to photochemical
smog, Causey said.
"Some good will come out of
this," Causey said. Just as the
nuclear disasters of Three-Mile
Island and Chernobyl caused a
re-evaluation of nuclear power,
the Valdez oil spill will cause us
to reassess the use of oil as an
energy source, she said.
"In all these cases, we tend to
have an unjustified overconfi-dence
in our ability to manage
this technology. We think that if
we haven't had an oil spill in 10
years, we won't," Causey said.

Oil spill fuels price hikes, merchants say
By Emily Riggins
Staff Writer
The increase in Auburn's
gasoline prices to an average of
15 cents more per gallon was
not caused by the Alaskan oil
spill, but may have been accelerated
by it, according to several
local gas merchants.
"There are a lot of forces that
affect the price of gas," said Jay
B. Stokley, vice president of
Blackburn Oil Company.
The Valdez, Alaska, port closing,
which left 240,000 barrels
of oil floating on the surface of
Prince William Sound, accelerated
the price increase, Stokley
said.
"Gas prices normally do go up
during the summer, but (usually
prices increase) in smaller
increments - not 9 cents in two
days," he said.
"Gas prices are usually raised
during the summer to make
more money because everyone
is driving around," Unocal 76
Products shift manager George
Patrick said.
Unocal 76 charges $1.07 a
gallon for regular unleaded gas,
Patrick said.
"Our prices went up twice in
five days," he said.
However, Unocal 76 makes
the same amount of profit now
that it did before prices
increased, according to Patrick.
'We are not making any more
money than we did two months
ago when our prices were
cheaper," he said. "We are paying
more for the gas so we have
to charge customers more."
Spur Gas Station Manager
Albas Vazin said the oil spill is
being used as a reason to raise
prices. "I think the big boys are
using the oil spill as an excuse
to raise prices," Vazin said.
Spur's unleaded gas prices
have increased from 81 cents
per gallon in March to $1 in
April, Vazin said.
Steve Smallwood, vice president
of administration for
Spectrum, said he did not know
why gas prices have increased.

Haley roof scheduled
for June completion
By Brad Mendheim
Staff Writer
A $620,400'Haley Center re-roofing
project will make water
leaks a thing of the past,
according to William Robertson,
facilities engineer.
Following completion of the
project, scheduled for June 22,
the viewing area and the Eagles
Nest on Haley Center's 10th
floor will be reopened, Robertson
said.
However, the roofs on the two
southern quadrants once open
to the public will be closed permanently
with the installment
of iron gates at the entrances,
he said. Only maintenance personnel
will be allowed on these
roofs.
Demolition of the concrete
roof accessible to the public was
the biggest and most dangerous
part of the project, requiring a
large crane to remove the concrete,
he said.
Because the demolition of the
concrete was considered dangerous,
it was done during
spring break when most students
and faculty were away
from the University, Robertson
said.
These precautions were taken
to ensure the safety of all people
who come in contact with Haley
Center, he said.
The large crane parked in the
A-zone lot behind Haley Center
has successfully removed the
concrete, and the actual re-roofing
has begun, Robertson said.
Every part of the Haley Center
roof will be replaced which
includes the roof on the 10-
story central portion of the
building and on the four four-story
quadrants surrounding it,
he said.

Higher tuition to help finance projects
By Teresa Gaston
Staff Writer
Most students know tuition
will Increase by 12 percent this
fall, but everyone may not know
where their money is going.
The 12 percent increase in
tuition was originally scheduled
to be a 10 percent increase,
Riley said. However, the new
business complex which was
estimated to cost $10 million
will cost $15 million, and the
increase is necessary to pay for
the construction, he said.
"The balance of the fees goes
to the general fund," according
to Rhett Riley, vice president for
business and finance. Riley
explained this general fund is
However, students have voted
in the past to increase their fees
to pay for certain programs and
facilities.
In 1987, the students voted to
help fund the Olympic-sized
swimming and diving complex
by adding $8 to their quarterly
fees.
Another $7 of the quarterly
fees goes to the operation of the
Foy Union building, and $8.50
funds the operation of the Student
Activities Center.
A total of $9.50 per student
goes to the Student Government
Association. The SGA distributes
this money to activities
such as Glomerata, WEGL,
intramural athletics and the
Tiger Cub.
The Student Health Center is
supported by $20 from each
student's quarterly fees, and the
athletic department receives $8
per student. The amount of
funds for the athletic department
will Increase to $12 beginning
this fall. Riley said.
Student have also voted to
allocate $10 to a special building
fund that is used for renovations
and the upkeep of facilities.
Twenty-five cents goes to
repair damage to facilities that
cannot be traced to individuals
or groups.
The total of this distribution is
$75.25 per student per quarter,
Most universities don't specify
where the fees go, but instead
have a general debt fund, Riley
said.
Auburn's total income is
$36.9 million, according to Rhi-ley.

Gun availability
linked to deaths
By Krlste Goad
Staff Writer
The availability of firearms
directly relates to suicide and
murder rates, according to a
study by James Gundlach, professor
of sociology.
If firearms were not available,
no more than an estimated 20
percent of the 17,604 firearm
suicides in 76 Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (MSAs) over a two-year
period would resort to
other methods of suicide,
according to the study.
When guns are available "a
potential suicide can become a
suicide with less motivation and
effort," the study says.
Gundlach's study uses an
indirect approach of measuring
firearm availability by counting
the number of gun stores per
100,000 residents. The study
shows that suicide rate increases
by about 1.9 per 100,000
persons per year for each additional
gun store per 100,000
persons.
The study found direct relationships
between annual levels
of importing and production of
firearms and annual suicide
rates in the United States.
The lack of state laws regulating
the purchase and ownership of
firearms and state suicide rates
were also found to be directly
related.
In a study of 700,000 firearm
deaths in Seattle. Wash., over a
five-year period, only two were a
result of self-defense, Gundlach
said. "Guns are not getting very
many bad guys," he said.
Of 4,100 homicides in Chicago
from 1975 to 1981, 47 were
an act of crime, Gundlach said.
There are roughly 20,000 homicides
a year in the United
States, and about 12,000 are by
guns, he said.
"The problem is there are an
awful lot of guns out there," he
said. "People are subjecting
themselves and their families to
much higher risks of suicide
than protection. If people with
children were aware of the risk
of gun ownership and still
owned a gun, then they would
be irresponsible parents," he
said.
Gundlach said he would like
to do a state-level study, but
statewide data of firearm deaths
is unavailable.

continued from A-3 continued from A-4
ole lor a Pell Grant for summer
quarter who was previously
enrolled as a full-time student
lor the regular academic year
could then be paid for winter,
spring and summer.
A lull-time student is one who
attempts a minimum of twelve
hours per quarter. However,
.students who have received Pell
Grant funds for fall, winter and
spring of this year will not get
additional Pell Grant money for
the summer quarter, according
to Rldgeway.
"The student should still
apply for supplemental aid
because he or she could be eligible
for another program or
scholarship," he said.
ACT will also determine if the
student is able to participate in
College Work Study or the
Stafford Loan Program (formerly
called the Guaranteed Student
Loan Program).
"The Stafford loans are made
by individual lending institutions
such as savings and loans
or banks," Rldgeway said.
"These are 'guaranteed' because
the federal government backs
the loans with federal money."
edge. If you get on one of those
bare-back bucking horses,
you'd better hope you find a soft
spot to land."
Although participants may be
injured, animals are always
injured at rodeos and must
often be carried off the field,
Kite said.
When bulls are roped, they
are often traveling approximately
30 mph, she said. Not only
are the bulls roped around the
head, but to bring the bulls
down, the rope is then brought
around the back legs of the animal.
Jerking its legs from underneath
it.
"Because the bull is traveling
at fast speeds, its head is jerked
back to its rump by this practice,"
Kite said.
Gardner said although this
practice is used in all rodeos,
ihe Roundup is safer for the
bulls because the participants
are not on horseback, decreasing
the speed of travel.
"We are concerned with the
welfare of the animals. We are
always looking for ways to
improve the rodeo so the animals
will not be hurt," he said.
"In the past, participants tied
up the legs of animals after they
brought the animals down.
Because we felt this would
increase the chance of breaking
the animals' legs, the
participants now Just bring the
animals down."
Although the protesters waved
signs that read "AU Vet School,
end rodeo now," the Vet School
does not sponsor the roundup,
Morgan said. Alpha Psi is simply
composed of veterinary students.
This was the 24th annual
Roundup, and Alpha Psi usually
donates the proceeds from the
event to the College of Veterinary
Medicine. Gardner said he
estimates approximately 3,000
people attended the event.
Bradley said she believes
there are other more humane
ways for Alpha Psi to raise
money.
'We hope someone will think
about what they've seen on our
signs," Bradley said. "We are
always trying to educate people,
and In the process, liberate animals
from suffering."
ROTC Glenn Spill
continued from A-5 continued from A-1 continued from A-6
This is reflected in Auburn's
ROTC students, he said. 'They
believe in honesty, hard work,
honor and duty to one's community
and nation," Leblanc
said.
'While our school Is national
and regional in flavor, the
majority comes from schooling
and way of life in the South," he
said.
"Those values that are in the
environment of the South translate
directly into service for
one's country via military service,"
LeBlanc said.
LeBlanc credits the students
with the award. "It's not very
difficult to be given credit for
excellence when you're dealing
with excellent individuals," he
said.

The lunch business at Little

the road is often blocked during

"Our only alternative is to quit

The only choice
The first time I saw her, well, I
thought she was goofy. She
hustled into my feature writing
class late, wearing a T-shirt,
sweat band around her forehead,
aerobic tights and cut-off
camouflage shorts.
Later that year, the students
elected her the first female SGA
president at Auburn.
Cindy Holland will turn over
the reins of the SGA tonight to
president-elect Scott Turnquist.
She leaves behind a legacy of
hard work that makes her one
of the best - if not the best -
SGA presidents Auburn has
known.
During her tenure, Holland
led the SGA to numerous
accomplishments during a difficult
year fraught with turmoil
from the alumni situation.
Among the accomplishments
of the SGA under Holland's
leadership -
• Holland put pressure on the
Board of Trustees to finally get
David
Sharp
something done with the swimming
facility, which the Board
had been putting off since students
voted for it in a referendum
in the spring of 1987.
• The SGA revamped student
election laws, eliminating car
painting, signs in store front
windows, writing on chalk
boards and vehicles on the concourse,
making this year's
spring election one the sanest in
several years.
• Holland worked with the
SGA and Graduate Student
Organization to work out kinks
with getting grad students' own
organization recognized.
• Holland worked with the
athletic department to restructure
student seating, allowing
for student guest tickets in the
student section.
• The SGA earned more than
$6,000 during a handicap
fundraiser to help build a lift at
Langdon Hall. The SGA plans to
make the fundraiser an annual
event.
• The SGA had three student
forums. Poor PR resulted in
small turnouts, but it was a
move in the right direction.
• The SGA also saw a much-needed
student activity fee
increase.
When Holland wasn't busy
leading 34 senators and more
than 80 cabinet members, she
could often be found meeting on
one of the 10 or so committees
on which she served, including
the Union Board, Financial Aid
Committee, Board of Trustees,
Committee on Intercollegiate
Athletics, Social Life Committee,
Communications Board and
Committee on Teaching Effectiveness.
On top of this, Holland wouldn't
hesitate to write letters to
the Board of Trustees expressing
the students' views.
One SGA administrator said
Holland worked harder every
hour of the day than any SGA
president in the past four years.
But probably the most important
aspect of Holland's tenure
is that she threw the "starched
shirt" image of the SGA out the
window and instead concentrated
on getting the job done.
Holland was as at home with
students at WEGL as she was
with her sorority sisters.
That's the legacy Holland
leaves behind tonight. By the
way, she still wears those cutoff
camouflage shorts sometimes.
David Sharp is editor of The
Plainsman.
Last Friday, the Board of
Trustees met for more than
an hour in "executive session"
to hear the report of
hired investigators of the
Atlanta law firm King and
Spalding.
No decision was reached
on whether Alumni Association
Executive Director
Jerry Smith should resign,
however.
As he left the meeting.
Trustee Morris Savage of
Jasper was heard muttering,
"No decision, no nothing,
no guts. Auburn isv
dying."
The main problem
throughout this crisis has
become more a lack of
leadership than a problem
within the Alumni Association.
When incidents became
public last December
involving alleged improprieties
within the Alumni
Association, the powers
that be could have nipped
it in the bud before it
became plastered across
the front pages of several
state newspapers - Including*
ours.
However, President
James Martin didn't see fit
to comment, and the Board
of Trustees, which is in the
center of the mess, also
failed to assert a firm stand
on the issue.
The entire dispute could
have been resolved with a
review and change of policy.
Instead, the secrecy
surrounding the controversy
led to a festering which
is coming to a climax.
On Tuesday, it became
public that Jimmy Goodwin,
one of Auburn's
biggest contributors,
announced his resignation
from the Alumni Foundation
Board and withdrew
Support for the present
leadership of the Alumni
Association.
The argument that the
controversy Is not hurting
alumni involvement and
contribution does not hold
water.
Meanwhile, Smith will be
fed to the wolves if brought
before a Lee County Grand
Jury as directed by Attorney
General Don Siegle-man.
But Smith seems
content to fight to the bitter
end.
It has come to the point
where there is but one
solution for Auburn to save
face. If Smith wants to do
what is truly best for
Auburn, he should resign
before further damage
results.
This could have been prevented
It was after the rodeo Saturday,
when just like countless
others, a car began crossing the
railroad tracks at the north end
of Webster Road where it meets
Highway 14.
But this car never made it. A
train traveling approximately 50
miles per hour struck the vehicle.
The impact threw one girl
from the car and injured the
other two, also.
The two were treated and
released, and the girl who was
thrown was stable as of yesterday.
Others in the past have not
Keen so Fortunate, and these
easily could not have been.
Many may be familiar with this
crossing, and those same many
have probably had a few close
calls themselves.
I've been in the same situation
and noticed eminent doom
Vicki
Vessels
fast approaching. A fast-approaching
train cannot be
heard over the sound of a car
stereo. There's a stop sign, but
It's hard to tell which side of the
tracks it's on.
There are no lights or gate.
Residents of more than 1,000
trailers from Gentilly, Ridge-wood
and Webster's Crossing
trailer parks use this crossing
regularly.
Not only do park residents
cross here, but directly next to
the crossing is Dexter Lock
where probably thousands
work.
Even with all the traffic, this
spot continues to be ignored.
It would appear that county
officials are waiting for a disaster
to force them into action,
j u s t like the intersection of
Shug Jordan Parkway and College
Street.
So just like the intersection of
Shug Jordan Parkway and College,
it's going to take someone
getting killed to get anything
done.
The memory of the three
wasted lives at that intersection
when they were decapitated
after driving under a bus still
weighs heavy on those who
remember it.
That's when the city decided
to do something about it and, in
turn, installed a traffic light.
I hope that's not what's going
to happen at the Webster Road
crossing and all similar crossings
around Lee County that
still don't have any kind of
warning systems.
It's ridiculous that someone
has to lose his life before action
is taken. It's too late, then.
No one was killed in last
weekend's accident, but they so
easily could have been.
Our local governmental officials,
if aware of the accident,
should be breathing easily. But
I hope the relieved sigh is
because human life was not
unnecessarily taken and not
because it means they still don't
have to do anything.
This accident was a warning.
Next time someone may not be
so lucky.

Rodeo protest
Last Saturday, there was
instance of great cruelty
and insensitivlty to animals
in Auburn. At least, that's
what PETA (People for Ethical
Treatment of Animals)
and the Auburn Students
for Ethical Treatment of
Animals would have you
believe.
Auburn's PETA staged a
protest outside the gates of
the Alpha Psi rodeo from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. While we
applaud students for taking
a stand on their convictions,
we think PETA's
actions were misguided.
We fail to see the correlation
with alleged tortuous
test experiments conducted
on animals and rodeos
around the nation. Rodeos
can cause Injury to the animals,
but they have also
proved injurious to the
human participants as
well.
We don't want to argue
every aspect of this Issue.
We feel the Alpha Psi rodeo
is another good-natured
Auburn tradition - one that
is being threatened without
justification.
Ride was rough but wonderful
Union Board
Nearly four months after
the Alumni Association left
Foy Union for bigger and
better things, the space it
occupied remains unutilized.
Meanwhile, campus organizations
are vying for
space in an unorganized
free-for-all between the
organizations (WEGL, SGA,
UPC, among others) and
the Union Board.
The back-door politicking
has in some cases replaced
legitimate requests, and
the opinions of some
administrators seem to
sometimes take preference
over both the organizations
and the Union Board.
Inefficiency aside, the
whole matter should have
been taken care of before
the Alumni Association
even moved out. Unfortunately,
foresight is not a
characteristic of Auburn.
When I was a freshman, I
swore I'd never want to leave
this place.
I remember sitting in Dorm 5
just minutes after my parents
drove away and left me completely
alone for the first time in
my life. I sat and stared through
a dirty screen on my third story
window, and Phil Collins was on
the radio singing Take Me
Home.
I knew I was home.
Besides, isn't "leave me alone"
what we scream at our parents
for the first 18 years of our lives
anyway? I was ready for college.
I was ready for the swaying
sea of Ray Bans at those first
sweltering football games and
for standing in front of loud
bands, jostling about for a good
view and getting drenched with
warm beer spilled from paper
cups.
I was ready for the freedom to
sleep as late as my roommate's
hair dryer would let me, to
never have to dust and to eat
Dana
Roberts
anything I wanted whenever I
wanted.
In a few months, I was also
ready to lose about 15 pounds. I
learned that you are rarely, if
ever, truly free to eat anything
you want whenever you want.
I was ready for Dr. Kicklighter
to teach me about hubris, to be
allowed to chew gum in class
and to ride the Supper Club bus
home alone when an evening
out with the girls turned into
those girls getting picked up by
guys.
I learned to wear my oldest
shoes to band parties, never to
sit on anyone's shoulders while
wearing a mini-skirt and to get
along with a roommate who was
born on a different planet.
What I am not ready for is for
it to all be over.
How do you just put up your
toys, send eveiybody home and
call it a day? I knew all along
that it couldn't last forever, but
somehow I must have thought it
would.
I guess college is a lot like flying
in an airplane.
When you first take off, the
ride is bumpy and you hold on
to everything tightly from the
sheer newness and unpredictability
of it.
Then, in the middle of the
ride, you loosen up and let go as
miles blur by until it gets close
to landing time, and everything
tightens up again.
Well, my miles are slipping
away, the past four years are a
blur and I'm holding on to
everything as tightly as I can.
It's my last quarter here.
I guess this sounds like a
goodbye column, and it's not
even mldquarter. But I've also
learned that you have to start
letting go sometime or you won't
be ready when it lets go of you.
Time just seems to be winding
down somehow, and I catch
myself noticing stupid little
things like how good it feels to
walk down the concourse in the
sunshine, saying "hi" to four
years worth of friends, 95 percent
of whom I will never see
after graduation.
So now I have to get ready
again. Ready for a real job in
the real world that pays real .
money (Well, two out of three *
will do.)
So as Kicklighter still lectures
to me about hubris every morning
at 9 (some things never
change), I wore my oldest shoes '•>
to Alpha Psi Round-up last
weekend (thank goodness) and I
catch more sunrises than I ever •
imagined, I'll start getting
myself together.
I got on this plane with a one- >
way ticket, and it's coming in
for a serious landing.

Letters
SGA had numerous successes in 1988-89
Probably one of the toughest
obstacles the SGA has to overcome
is the students' perception
that the SGA doesn't perform.
This perception exists for several
reasons. First, for the most
part, many students are
unaware of the SGA's function
and projects. Second, most of
the SGA's projects are* ongoing
and begin during one president's
term but are not completed
for several years.
As students, it is your responsibility
to read The Plainsman,
thereby becoming aware of the
issues. On the other hand, the
SGA should use all Its resources
to better inform the students. It
is for these reasons that almost
every SGA presidents' platform
includes promting communication.
In retrospect, I feel this year's
SGA made progress In this area,
and this final column will serve
Cindy
Holland
as a summary of the SGA's
accomplishments this year.
Communication was the goal,
and even though there is always
room for improvement, I feel we
made progress through cooperation
with The Plainsman, which
allowed the president to have
column space. Also, increased
use of WEGL throughout the
year and during elections
brought the SGA closer to the
students' needs. Furthermore,
the student forum which met
three times was a step in the
right direction even though participation
was limited.
This year's SGA carried on
the continuous projects of the
past SGAs and saw during this
year an increase in student
activity funding; removal of Wire
Road lights and attention to
providing bike lanes in the
future; an architect named and
progress on the pool project;
and a compromise made with
the athletic department allowing
student football guest tickets
within the student section.
All these projects were Initiated
or were Ideas of past SGAs,
and continuous communication
between the SGA and various
areas of the University brought
about results. The SGA communicated
with the Board of
Trustees for approval of the pool
project and an activity fee
increase.
The athlectic department and
SGA worked diligently throughout
the year concerning football
Quote of the week
"No decision, no nothing, no guts. Auburn is dying."- University Trustee Morris Savage commenting
on the situation In the Alumni Association, quoted as he left an executive session of the
Board of Trustees last Friday
The week in history
10 years ago, 1979: A Plainsman editorial lamented the student election process as benefitting
"cheaters." The problem was campaign spending and how to enforce the limits placed by the SGA.
Also this week the student body approved a student referendum by an 85 percent vote giving
students the right to abolish the SGA 'The Student Government was established by student referendum.
The student body should have the right to abolish or continue the Student Government by
student body referendum," the referendum read.
The referendum came only two weeks after students at the University of Georgia voted to abolish
its SGA A Plainsman editorial claimed that, although far from perfect, the SGA needed improvement
- not a death penalty.
25 years ago, 1964: Gov. George Wallace was the winner of a presidential straw vote of Auburn
students with 35 percent of the vote. Wallace received 1,052 votes, while President Lyndon Johnson
received 715 votes and Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater received 552 votes.
60 years ago, 1929: The breeder house at the college poultry plant one mile from town burned,
killing approximately 2,000 of the 4,500 chicks. The oil heater was thought to be the source of the
blaze. Fire fighters were unable, to fight the blaze because of the lack of a water connection.
Pro-lifers stand ambiguous
Editor, The Plainsman:
With the review of the Webster
case, abortion has once again
come to the forefront of the
news, reassuring us that it is
indeed a perennial issue. However,
amid the furor, a vital
point is being lost. The pro-life
side has been promoting the
same goal as the pro-choice
side: abortion on demand.
This statement may seem
ridiculous and is a contradiction
in terms given the popular
view of what each side stands
for. Nevertheless, the statement
is true. The only difference
between the pro-life and pro-choice
positions is to what
extent abortion is a permissible
choice.
Typically, when pro-life supporters
rally they speak of the
fetus' inalienable right to life -
that abortion is murder. They
even try to stir a graphic image
of abortion as being the worst
form of child abuse. In contrast,
the pro-choice position is that a
fetus does not become a human
being with constitutionally protected
rights until it is born.
These are the views commonly
associated with each movement,
and as far as public perception
goes, they are in order.
The discrepancy, though,
comes into play when the pro-life
supporters try to qualify
their stand by claiming that
abortion is justifiable in the
cases of rape and incest. By
making rape and incest exceptions
to their anti-abortion rule,
pro-lifers are playing the same
game as pro-choicers.
The pro-life position is founded
upon the right to life. Thus,
from that position, abortion is
immoral because it denies the
fetus an opportunity to live. If
this is the case, why must a distinction
be made for a fetus produced
from rape or Incest?
Does the fact that such a
fetus was conceived from a
morally and/or criminally
repugnant act make that fetus'
life worth any less? Apparently,
the pro-life answer is 'yes."
Such a stand is what relegates
the mainstream pro-life
movement to a position of being
a mere subgroup of the pro-choice
movement. Pro-life supporters
are quick to denounce
abortion. However, they too
wish to delineate a right to
abortion based upon their vested
interests, even if such an act
contradicts their own fundamental

Greek Week benefits charities
Editor, The Plainsman:
As Panhellenic Greek Week
director, I would like to eliminate
any possible "Greek slamming"
before the 1989 Greek
Week begins this Sunday.
In the past, Greek Week has
been frowned upon by several of
your readers, possibly because
they fall to realize that all proceeds
from Greek Week benefit
Jordan-Cater Leukemia Fund.
Last year, over $6,000 fromT-shlrt
sales was donated to charity.
Sadly, this fact went unrecognized
by many.
Auburn Greeks also attended
AIDS and Alcohol Awareness,
lectures at the 1988 Greek
Week This year, Eileen Stevens,
a nationally renowned speaker,
will address us in a
hazing/alcohol awareness
speech Monday night.
Handicap Awareness Week
happens to fall on this Greek
Week, and IFC-Panhellenic will
host a wheelchair race on the
concourse on Wednesday afternoon
to recognize this worthy
cause.
Although Greek Week activities
may seem silly and pointless
to an outsider, all of our
craziness is a fun way to raise
money for charity. I hope in
reading this letter, your readers
may understand better the purpose
of Greek Week, and possibly
think twice before they condemn
us.

Panhellenic Greek Week Director
seating. Furthermore, the SGA
represented concerns to the city
and state governments about
the Wire Road lights.
If the history was readily
available to students about the
projects, it would be obvious
that there have been results.
Every new SGA administration
always brings new ideas,
goals and priorities. For example,
this year we concentrated
on the following issues -
• We revised election laws to
accomodate a realistic budget
and bring the issues closer to
the students. We raised money
for handicapped students to
build a lift at Langdon Hall.
• We made Increasing scholarship
money a priority. We also
Investigated the possiblity of a
student credit card with revenue
going to scholarship funds
and are waiting on the alumni
to answer out proposal. Also,
the SGA redirected funds from
invitations revenue to begin its
own scholarship fund.
• This year the SGA dealt with
such issues as addressing an
academic honesty proposal from
the University Senate, compromising
with the Graduate Student
Organization on recognition
and funding and following
expressing student opinion on
the Alumni Association controversy.
This sumary is not detailed
enough to cover the countless
cabinet projects, such as the
annual SGA blood drive, but it
should provide some perspective
on the SGA's accomplishments
and efforts over this past year.
I am confident that the new
administration will do everything
in its power to make the
students' voice heard and to
inform the student of the SGA's
projects.
This administration left the
legacy of a deep concern for
academics and provided scholarships
to attract top students.
Also, this administration, as is
always the case, left projects to
be completed by the new administration
such as monitoring
student football seating and
seeing the completion of the
Langdon ramp project.
It is my sincere hope that the
students will continue to use
the SGA as its official channel
for communication and as a
place of fostering ideas and projects
for the student. If you, the
students, don't use the SGA,
then only the students can be
blamed for lack of student representation
in campus issues.
It's your responsibility.
Cindy Holland, 1988-89 SGA
president, ends her tenure tonight
at the SGA installation banquet.
KAPsi received unfair trial
Editor, The Plainsman:
Are they really guilty or Is
someone just painting a black
picture? Was the notification of
the trial really sent to Kappa
Alpha Psi or was it just lost in
the mail?
For the past two years, the
minority Greek organizations of
this campus have been attempting
to get into the mainstream
of Greek life here at Auburn.
Through their journey to better
relations, they've been met with
a great deal of nonacceptance
and yes, even prejudice.
Is Kappa Alpha Psi guilty of
hazing? Well, here are the facts.
They were pronounced guilty
in a trial which they did not get
a chance to defend themselves.
No letter of notification was
received by Kappa Alpha Psi
concerning the time and date of
the trial.
However, directly following the
trial and pronouncement of
guilty, a Kappa Alpha Psi member
was easily contacted and
told of the verdict. That phone
call could have and should have
been done prior to the trial.
If Kappa Alpha Psi Is truly
guilty of hazing, then let it be
determined in a fair IFC trial
where a representative from
Kappa Alpha Psi is present. If
the present verdict of guilty
stands for Kappa Alpha Psi,
without them getting a chance
to defend themselves fairly, then
every minority organization on
this campus has been mentally
hazed by the majorities' actions.
Just think, when was the last
time you saw something relating
to minorities (other than Kappa
Alpha Psi) in The Plainsman.
Would it be fair if minorities
found the editors of The Plainsman
guilty without giving them
a chance to defend themselves?
Think about it.
John I very Jr., president

Something wrong with system
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to the defense of
capitalism offered by the economics
student in last week's
Plainsman, I can only say that
there Is something fundamentally
misguided in the endorsement
of a system which allows a
rogue like Michael Milken (the
recently indicted "junk bond"
king of Drexel Burnham Lambert)
to amass - in a single year
- salary and benefits in excess
of $2 billion.
This man's salary alone is
more than the entire proposed
federal education budget of the
United States for 1990, yet the
likes of Milken and his fellow
corporate mobsters pressure
George Bush and the country
club republican set to strike
down by presidential veto a 30
cent-an-hour differential in the
increase of minimum wage for
the nation's working poor.
And George Bush agrees. Go
figure.

a need for money, it would have
greater opportunity to get funds
through the B&F, which is more
flexible than a set percentage,
he said.
Scott Turnquist, Senate president
pro tempore and senator at
large, said, "Everyone goes
through the same procedure.
This seems unfair to other organizations
who come before
B&F."
Haston said he believes the
GSO should be funded by B&F,
a Senate committee that allocates
student activity fees
among eight campus projects
including SGA WEGL and The
Glomerata, but operates separate
from the SGA during hearings,
he said.
Haston explained why the
SGA could not approve the original
proposal.
"I believe it's unfair for the
SGA to allow the GSO to take a
fixed amount straight off the top
before the B&F Committee hearings,"
he said. "In addition it's
unfair for the GSO to receive
this money without B&F reviewing
the spending.
"They would just be given a
fixed amout of money, and we
have no idea what they would
do with it. We're not sure if it's
what they really need. They may
need more, they may need less."
However, Revington said the
GSO needs to be funded off the
top in order to become a member
of the National Association
of Graduate Students, a nonprofit
organization designed to
coordinate activities nationwide
such as lobbying in Washington
and addressing health insurance
issues.
GSO Vice President Trace
Parish said the GSO needs to be
funded by students. 'The money
has to come off the top of whatever
student activity fees graduate
students pay," he said.

Band hunt
Student demands drive UPC's quest for bands
By Piper Lowell
Assistant Features Editor
I t's a long way from London
to Auburn, and a long way
for someone like Rod
Stewart to come to the loveliest
village on the plains.
He's here by invitation of the
University Program Council in
an attempt to appease students'
demands for entertainment in
sleepy Auburn.
For the UPC, attracting big-name
performers is a treasure
hunt for money, time and
facilities, according to Jackie
Burek, UPC director of major
entertainment.
"We try to be a little more
extravagant, get bigger names,"
Burek says. "It's not easy."
Phase one of Auburn-gets-a-
headline-band begins on
Burek's desk, specifically with
lists of performers in the area
given by public relations firms.
Musical categories range from
rock, old and new, to
progressive and jazz.
She then takes the lists to her
committee of about 30 students
for an opinion on what groups
students would most like to
hear. Taking availability, price
and dates into consideration,
the committee decides who is
pursued and who slips by.
Then the juggling act begins.
With a total budget of $36,000,
major entertainment takes a
financial risk by inviting
popular groups. It is costing
New Era Productions a total of
$100,000 (including space,
security, equipment, hotel and
requested soccer balls), to bring
Stewart to Auburn, according
to John Burgess, Union Programming
coordinator.
sure it (the Coliseum) is
available. There might be a
basketball tournament or
something," Burek says.
When price and dates are
covered, the public relations
firm retires from the process.
Gary Weinberger, publicist who
called Burek about Stewart, was
unavailable to say why he called
Auburn or if it was difficult to
convince big bands to come to
'Bands turn down Auburn all the time.
They can cancel to work on an album
or if they get a better offer.'
-Jackie Burek
Because the UPC prices
tickets to break even rather
than to make a profit, it's
important that the committee
pick a band whose ticket sales
will keep the council out of
debt.
It's a touchy judgment call,
but it must be made quickly
because performers' schedules
are soon booked, Burek says.
With finances cleared, the
next step is procuring a place
for the group, the Coliseum
being the only option. "We have
to work at the date to make
small-town campuses.
Once the contract is signed,
Auburn has a band coming...
maybe .
"Bands turn down Auburn all
the time," Burek says. "They
can cancel to work on an album
or if they get a better offer."
John Cougar Mellencamp and
Eddie Money both had arranged
to play in Auburn, and both fell
through, according to Burek
and Mark Russell, UPC
coordinator.

Tanning beds give riskier
rays than students realize
By Marty Graham
Staff Writer
They help you tan, not
burn. They are safer
than sunlight. They give
you a much more even tan,
and they help to prevent blistering
and peeling.
All of these statements are
misconceptions about tanning
beds, nurse practitioner Terry
Smith says. However, most
Auburn students don't know
the dangers about the beds
and therefore continue to use
them.
Most people think the tanning
beds give the base tan
needed to prevent burning.
Smith says.
However, "The beds don't
give any resistance to sunlight,"
Smith says. The problem
with them is the type of
rays they give off.
"The sun gives off B-rays,
and the tanning beds give off
A-rays. The A-rays enable the
B-rays to burn and damage
the skin more easily.
"The B-rays are absorbed
farther into the skin, to the
dermis, and when the skin is
exposed to the A-rays, the skin
burns.
"The worst thing for someone
to do is to mix the A-rays
with the B-rays. If they must
use the beds it would be safer
to use the beds by themselves,"
Smith says.
"Most of our customers come
in to tan before spring break
or before tanning outside to
prevent a burn," says Jeanni
Frye, owner of Sun Daze in
Opelika.
AmyTrammell, 01 PB, is one
of those customers. "I've been
using the tanning salons for
years because I don't want to
get burnt the first time I lay
out.
"I don't want to blister or
splotch so I go to the tanning
bed for a couple of weeks
before tanning season rolls
around," says Trammell.
Others use the tanning beds
for appearance or to help
improve their complexions,
Frye says.
Karen Bartels, 04 NUR, uses
them. "I go to the salons to
make me look healthy and
improve my complexion. I
know it's not healthy, but I
hate looking pasty. They say
the more tan you are the thinner
you look," Bartels says.
Bartels keeps going back to
the tanning beds because she
has never gotten burnt in one.
"I guess I'll continue to go until
I get burnt by the bed," Bartels
says.
Some people aren't as lucky
as Bartels. 'We do burn people,
but I always advise them

and have demands ranging from
having alcohol or sports
equipment to a certain number
of M&M candies back stage,
Russell says. If one of these
requests isn't honored, the
artist may break the contract.
Other artists will simply take
another offer whenever one
comes along.
Even with such a high-financial
and high-image risk,
the UPC is willing and eager to
scramble for the big-name
bands year after year, according
to Russell.
"Unfortunately, I think it's
very important. It's a small part
of what we do, but it's
important for the students to
see big concerts," he says.
Russell and Burek agree that
students put pressure on the
UPC for world-tour bands.
"The natives are restless,"
Russell says.
He hears complaints in the
UPC office and in the halls
about the lack of bands. And
when bands do come, Russell
says that he hears complaints
that the groups were unpopular
with students.
