WEGL manager voted out by staff
By Stephanie Elsea
and Vicki Vessels
WEGL's recently selected station
manager, Robert French,
06 SC, was ousted by a 57-28
internal vote Wednesday.
"Everyone should now stop
and sit back," French said when
the announcement was made at
about 5:30 p.m. yesterday. 'We
should all think about what's
been said."
French had announced at a
meeting Sunday his intention of
letting the staff, or those currently
going through the new
announcer's class, decide whether
he stays or goes.
If the staff voted against him,
he said Sunday that he would
resign.
"Rather than cause more
problems, it was the only good
solution I could think of. I
hoped it would calm people,"
French said. "I just wanted
them to have a voice and provide
some calm solution."
The controversy centers
around French's never working
at WEGL and his announced
plans to make changes in the
format of the station. French
said he recognizes the mistake
he made in suggesting change
before he became more
acquainted with the station.
"It isn't that I want to dramatically
change the station format,
but more that I want to improve
it," he said Sunday. His suggestions
include supplementing
mainstream music and current
specialty shows with additional
public affairs programs.
WEGL faculty adviser Bob
Cooley said French's action was
totally unplanned. "It goes
against everything I recommended,"
he said.
"But I think there should be
some kind of student input and
mandatory minimum qualifications
with the Communications
Board," he said.
Bob King, 04 GPO, was the
only opposing candidate for station
manager this year. "It's a
pretty good way of letting him
(French) have an out." King
said.
After French learned how
strong the opposition was
against him, "I think he lost
interest," King said.
Assignment editor for WEGL's
News and Information, Matt
Smith, 03 GJM, said. "He's
dropped this in our lap; and
he's forcing us to make a choice
before we know what his real
intentions are.

go on, and if we throw him out,

Measles reach
epidemic status
• Auburn's education interns
pulled from schools to get
vaccination/A-4
By Lein Shory
Staff Writer
After approximately 1,300
students were vaccinated Tuesday
afternoon, State Health
Department officials have rec-orniherided~
ribfurtherr action in
response to the measles epidemic
on campus, University
officials said Wednesday.
"Based on the success of the
vaccination program that we
have had at Auburn, they are,
as of today, recommending that
no further action be taken to
contain the outbreak," said
Grant Davis, assistant dean of
student affairs.
"They are estimating that
fewer than 500 of our students
have not been vaccinated,"
Davis said.
The University canceled afternoon
and evening classes Tuesday
with 24 cases of measles on
record, and an estimated 2,000
students who had not been vaccinated.
The action was taken to allow
students, faculty and staff time
to get vaccinated, said Pat
Barnes, vice president of student
affairs.
As of Wednesday afternoon,
28 cases had been reported in
-•the Auburri (area, said Winkler
Sims, a publi^ health official, p
"I feel like we're not going to
see any more (cases)," said Pat
Ellis, Drake Student Health

Approximately 250 people had
received vaccinations at the
health center Wednesday before
4:30 p.m., Ellis said.
As of Tuesday morning, there
were approximately 2,000 students

Chairman avoiding
vote of confidence
By David Sharp
Editor
University Senate Chairman
Miller Solomon said he will
"actively discourage" a confidence
vote for President
James E. Martin.
Solomon said he has been
confronted by members of the
faculty during the past two
months seeking a confidence
vote for the president and also
former Executive Director
Jerry Smith of the Alumni
Association and the Board of
Trustees.
"In each case, I said it would
be best if the faculty was not
the focus of this issue,"
Solomon said.
But if a senator brings a
confidence vote to the Senate
floor as a resolution, Solomon
said he cannot keep the matter
from coming to a vote.
"I think we need a cooling off
period...because the publicity
has hurt Auburn," he said.
Solomon said he didn't
know how the Senate would
vote if a resolution was
brought to the floor.

Temporary director named
Guthrie replaces Smith until interim director is found
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
President James Martin and
Alumni Association President
Batey Gresham have agreed on
who will fill the Alumni Association
executive director position
until a permanent replacement
can be named, Martin said.
Despite reports that Gresham
was upset because Martin
appointed Phillip Guthrie, director
of accounting and data
information, without Gresham's
approval, Martin said there was
never a disagreement.
"When I spoke with Gresham,
he recommended that Phillip
Guthrie take over the administrative
duties for now," Martin
said.
"I had no objections." he said.
"I had never thought there was
a disagreement. He made a recommendation,
and I concurred."
The position opened when
Jerry Smith announced his resignation
May 8 to be effective
July 1. Martin has granted
Smith a leave of absence until
this date.
Guthrie was chosen because
he is currently the accountant
for the Alumni Association, and
he knows about the finances of
the organization, Martin said.
Guthrie said he will handle all
administrative-type duties until
Martin and Gresham appoint an
interim director or a new executive
director.
Gresham, Martin and Foundation
President J. Gilmer
Blackburn will meet to discuss
the procedure by which they
will appoint a new director, said
Martin, who did not know when
the meeting will occur.
When asked about how he felt
about his appointment, Guthrie
said, "I'm better off to say no
comment."
Guthrie was quoted last
Thursday as saying he did not
know about his appointment.
However, he said the press
asked him for comments about
his appointment before Guthrie
was asked by Martin to fill the
position.
Parking committee unhappy with lack of authority
By Vicki Vessels
News Editor
Staff photo by Cilff Oliver
24-hour, reserved spaces located behind Samford
This year's Parking and Traffic
Committee has been serving as
a buffer for criticism about
things it is not always responsible
for, according to a committee
report sent to the administration.
The committee has been
bypassed on several decisions
that it should have been
involved in, the report said.
"The University designated the
committee to serve as an advisory
panel to decisions concerning
parking and traffic issues,"
said Seth Lynn. 04 MK, a member
of the committee.
"However, when the people in
upper-level administration want
to do something, it's going to get
done whether we approve or disapprove,
and oftentimes before
we even get a chance to review
it."
The primary case that has disgruntled
the committee is the
24-hour reservation of seven
parking spaces behind Samford
Hall for certain administrative,
staff and state employees, Lynn
said.
This action comes despite a
resolution the committee, made
approximately a year ago that
said no one below a vice presidential
position would have
reserved spaces, he said.
The resolution, in addition to
the decision made to designate
the spaces behind Samford, has
put the committee in an uncomfortable
position, Lynn said.
"We denied a recent request to
give a faculty member a
reserved spot because he had
won some national award for
excellence," he said. This decision
was made in compliance
with the resolution.
In addition, the administration
did not discuss the parking
space designation with University
Police Chief Jack Walton,
Lynn said.
Instead, Walton was informed
that the spaces were being designated,
and the University
Police would be responsible for
enforcing them, Lynn said.

In these indictments, Boles is accused of offering the representatives

If the bill passed and the dog track succeeded. Boles told the
representatives they could expect to make approximately

Killer claimed victim gave son drugs
Charles Pouncy of Enterprise was ordered to serve one year of a

death of a local teen-ager.
After learning Russell Howard had given his son drugs, causing

Howard.
Howard's hand hit the gun Pouncy was carrying, causing the
shot that killed Howard.
Although nine years of his sentence were suspended, Pouncy
must not commit a crime during these years to avoid serving the
remainder of his sentence. Coffee County Circuit Judge Gary
McAliley said.

Group seeks Alar ban from EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was asked Monday
to immediately ban the use of Alar, a chemical used to regulate
growth and extend the shelf life of fruit, officials said.
The apple industry is currently taking action to rid apples of the
chemical, which poses a risk of cancer, officials for the International
Apple Institute said.
Because current data does not support the belief Alar causes a
health hazard, the EPA will conduct further research and make a
decision at a later date, EPA spokesman Al Heier said.

Senate unable to change GPA requirement
By Becky Jeffers
Assistant News Editor
The Student Senate did not
address the Issue of raising the
minimum GPA requirement for
Senate or SGA Cabinet members
Monday night because the
bill was not prepared in time.
SGA President Scott Turnquist
said.
"It was turned in on time," he
said. "It just wasn't typed up.
"It's going to go through. It's
something we feel is important.
It's just a matter of circumstances."
All bills and resolutions that
come before the Senate are
required to be turned in to SGA
secretary Alice Scussel by Friday
at noon so she can type
them.
However, Scussel was ill last
week and unable to type the
proposal for review by the Senate.
Turnquist said. The bill
should be addressed next week,
he said.
The bill, which would raise
the GPA to a minimum of 2.25
for students running for offices,
is a response by the Senate to a
recent decision by the Communications
Board to raise the
minimum GPA requirement for
student communications leaders,
said Senate President Scott
Ayers.
A 2.0 GPA must then be
maintained in order to remain
in office, he said.
Last week, the Comm Board
set the minimum qualification
requirement at 2.25 for The
Plainsman, Glomerata, The
Tiger Cub and The Circle editors,
publication business managers
and WEGL station manager.
These people will be required to
maintain a 2.0 during their
tenure or be subject to action by
the Comm Board.
In a separate matter, the Senate
cleared up confusion about
sections in the Code of Laws
concerning the Elections Law by
unanimously amending the
Code.
The code set a" new standard
for E-Board members wishing to
run for office.
"Any person who has served
on the Elections Board will not
be eligible for candidacy in any
election over which that Elections
Board presides for one full
year after being elected to the
Elections Board," the amended
'Student leaders represent students,
and they need to maintain the standards
set by the University.'
-Scott Ayers
; •
Turnquist supports raising
requirements for Senate and
Cabinet members, he said. "Student
leaders represent students,
and they need to maintain the
standards set by the University,"
he said.
"I don't think it's right if you
have people with lower standards
than those set by the University
in leadership positions,"
he said.
Code states.
The amended version addresses
the issue of E-Board
members who may be unable to
fulfill their duties, where the
original code only addressed
members who are disbarred.
The amended version reads:
"If any E-Board member is
unable to fulfill his duties or is
disbarred, the alternate...shall
be installed. If two or more
members are unable to fulfill
their duties, then the alternate
to the Elections Board shall be ,
installed.
"If two or more members are —
disbarred or unable to fulfill '^ .
their duties, then the alternate 3
and representative(s) elected by
the Student Senate shall be
installed." il *
A resolution addressing grad- „
uate student tuition payment "',
was also presented for Senate
review by Mitch Henry, graduate
school senator. The resolution ,a
will be voted on next week,
Turnquist said.
The resolution calls for a
rejection of a recent proposal by
James Johnston, director of
Bursar and Special funds, to
withdraw the long-standing policy
which allows graduate students
to pay tuition after the
regular quarterly payment deadline
without being charged a
late fee, according to the drafted
resolution.
Graduate students need the
fee extension because many do
not get paid until after the regular
deadline, Henry said.
The current policy allows
graduate students to defer fees
until the first day of classes, a
formal policy established in
1972, according to the resolution.

ROTC units
honor Martin
with parade
By David Sharp
Editor
Early in the morning, the
Physical Plant trucks began
unloading podium, chairs and
sound system at Max Morris
field. That was 7:55 a.m.
Students crossing the drill
field at 10 a.m. were greeted by
a lumbering helicopter from
Fort Rucker which settled onto
the field. Armored vehicles from
Fort Benning, Ga., and cannons
from the National Guard in
Roanoke followed soon afterward.
With everyone assembled in
their places at 1:10 p.m., the
ROTC began its President's Day
Review and gave a seemingly
flawless performance of parade
and show choreographed with
cannons and fighter jets.
However, the work behind the
annual event did not begin that
morning. Planning began
months ago, according to Col.
David LeBlanc, commander of
Auburn's Air Force ROTC
(AFROTC).
More than 1.000 students
, from Army, Navy and Air Force
ROTC units and their women's
auxiliaries participated in the
annual event which honors the
* University's president.
AFROTC hosted this year's
event which paid special tribute
to Congressman and Trustee
** Bill Nichols who died last
December. Approximately 400
students, faculty and family
* members watched the event.
President James Martin, a
graduate of Auburn's Army
ROTC program in 1954, spoke
* briefly, praising the ROTC officer
candidates for their sacrifice
and professors for producing in
jt excess of 80 officers this year.
"I can say without any reservation
that these students are
involved in an activity which will
* continue to serve them in the
future," Martin said.
Mrs. Bill Nichols participated
m in giving the Nichols Award
which is has been given by Congressman
Bill Nichols.
"It was important to President
*• Martin and I to have Mrs.
Nichols there to hand out the
three Nichols awards," LeBlanc
•t said. "I was thrilled."
Mrs. Nichols, who is currently
residing in Birmingham, and
her daughter Mrs. Chris
* Mitchell both attended the
event.
The Nichols Award was established
in 1976 to honor the mili-
* tary and civilian accomplishments
of the congressman who
had served since 1966. In all,
. 3 6 awards were given for the
three ROTC branches.
Other distinguished guests
»included Brigadier Gen. Jeffrey
T. Ellis from Maxwell Air Force
Base in Montgomery, Brigadier
Gen. James E. Moore of the
* 167th Corps support command
in Birmingham and Vice Admiral
John S. Disher from Naval
. Air Station in Pensacola, Fla.
Trustee Bessie Mae Holloway
of Prichart, Opelika Mayor Bobbie
Freeman and the University's
Director of Governmental
Affairs Ham Wilson also attended.
The ceremony featured a
moment of silence, a 13-gun
salute and a fly-by of Navy A-4
jet fighters in the "missing man"
formation in honor of Nichols.
The weather was perfect for
the event with a temperature of
70 and a 10 mph breeze from
the north, LeBlanc said. Last
year, the temperature was at 85
with a humidity of 80 percent,
making it hard on the cadets
who stand during the hour-long
ceremony, he said.
Planning for President's Day
began back in January, LeBlanc
said.
The AFROTC began sending
out invitations, requesting the
services of the Physical Plant
and University police as well as
the "static displays" - a Bradley
fighting vehicle, helicopter, 80
mm cannon, hospital tent and
personnel carrier.
The aircraft included four
Navy A-4 Jets from Meridian,
Miss., and four state-of-the-art
Air Force F-15 fighters from
Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.
"The hard part is getting it
approved," LeBlanc said. A public
affairs officer from the office
of the secretary of defense had
to approve the use of the aircraft
in the ceremony.
Then, the AFROTC had to get
approval from the FAA in Birmingham
to block off the air
space, he said.
An Air Force captain controlled
the fly-overs on the cue
of LeBlanc using a portable air
traffic controller weighing 250
pounds.
Fuel for the F-15s cost about
$800 or more an hour and
about $400 an hour for the A-
4s. The aircraft waited over
Tuskegee until their cues, Le
Blanc said.

'The Auburn Difference."
"We tried to capture not only
big events, but also small
aspects of everyday student
life," Collins said. "We hope that
Auburn students, after seeing
the book from cover to cover,
will be able to define their own
idea of The Auburn Difference.'
"
The Glom, which has been
produced every year since 1897,
will soon be available to Auburn
students who wish to have a
keepsake of an eventful year.
The 1988-89 Glom will be free
to Auburn students with their
IDs and will be available from
May 22-24 in front of the Glom
office in the basement of Foy
Union.
The Glom is the second-largest
college yearbook in the
country, Collins said. Last
year's Glom has won awards,
including the Associated Collegiate
Merit Award with four
marks for distinction from the
Columbia Scholastic Press
Association and First Place with
Special Merit from the American
Scholastic Association.
This year's Glom had an operating
budget of $200,000, a 5
percent increase from last year's
budget.
Glom adviser John Burgess
said production of this year's
Glom took place without any
major obstacles.
'There weren't any big problems
putting together the yearbook,"
Burgess said. "We
changed printers this year, but
everything went relatively
smooth."
Collins said the Glom will
include student, faculty, club
and Greek organization pictures;
highlights of sporting
events; and articles about major
events that have happened on
Auburn's campus over the past
year.
Collins is satisfied with the
completed yearbook and hopes
that Auburn students will feel
the same way, he said. He also
wants everyone who sees this
year's Glom to realize that it was
designed and created especially
for the Auburn student, he said.
Finance experts discuss career opportunities
By Michael Buttram
Staff Writer
The Financial Management
Association featured three
hours of lectures last Thursday
in Foy Union as it celebrated
the 12th annual Finance Day.
The event is intended to
increase general student interest
in the field of finance and to
make business school students
aware of the variety of careers
available, said Bill Walker,
Auburn National Bank president.
Walker spoke for approximately
an hour about his bank
and the market niche it has created
for itself in Auburn.
"We are very local in our
scope, and we have new products
that we have tailored to
this market, such as a bill paying
system for the elderly," he
said.
Auburn National is also active
in the Automatic Teller market.
"We are the second-oldest
Automatic Teller System in
Alabama, and we are one of only
nine owners of the ALERT network,"
Walker said.
Walker further differentiated
his independent bank from
other Auburn banks. 'The fact
that 200 of our 208 shareholders
and each one of our directors
is an Auburn resident
makes us even more in tune
with the needs of the community,"
he said.
Charlie Brown, a financial
consultant for Merrill Lynch,
said he begins each day by
watching the highlights of trading
from the previous day and
from London that morning.
"Most of the morning is spent
talking with clients, and most of
the afternoon cold-calling, or
soliciting new accounts," said
Brown, who usually works
about 65 hours a week.
A question-and-answer period,
moderated by two recent
Auburn graduates, Gretchen
Kennedy and LeAnn Mc-
Glauphlin concluded the meeting.
Kennedy left the Birmingham
branch of the National Bank of
Commerce in 1987 to start her
own money management firm,
and McGlauphlln is presently
employed by SouthTrust Bank
in Birmingham.

Teachers honored
by alumni award
By Liz Armstrong
Staff Writer
Seven professors recently
recognized for outstanding
research and teaching will join
six others in Alumni Professorship
appointments, said Ronald
J. Henry, vice president for academic
affairs.
A maximum of 15 professors
at a time are chosen for Alumni
Professorships, and they are
appointed for five years, he said.
"This (appointment) recognizes
excellent accomplishments
in research and strong
undergraduate teaching. The
primary interest is in nationally
recognized research," Henry
said.
They are chosen by nominations,
a committee evaluation
and the approval of President
James E. Martin, he said.
"Strong and valued members
of Auburn Faculty are awarded
as an incentive to retain them,"
Henry said.
The alumni provide funds for
the $3,000 salary supplement,
he said. The money comes from
a fund called Annual Giving,
said Kaye Loworn, a director of
the Alumni Office.
The new appointees will be
honored at the Alumni Scholars
and Professors Reception next
fall, Loworn said.

Last week a student Intern for
Auburn's College of Education
was exposed to measles and
went to teach in a public school,
possibly exposing the students
in that school to the measles.
"This student had gone to
Drake to receive a measles shot
when the outbreak first began,
but she was unable to receive
one because she was on medication,"
said Dr. Judy Tomlin,
coordinator of student services
for the College of Education.
"However, as far as we know
there has not been a case of the
measles in this school system,"
she said.
Because of the incident the
College of Education pulled its
interns and laboratory students
from the public schools until
they could show proof of vaccination,
immunity or a special
letter from the College of Education,
Tomlin said. This effort
was designed to protect both the
public school students and the
interns.
"We felt the best thing to do
was to pull all students because
we had between 400 and 500
students in the public schools
coming in contact with children
of all ages," Tomlin said.
Because of the need for immediate
action, all students were
pulled at once rather than trying
to deal with cases individually,
Tomlin said.
The students were pulled May
11, and by that afternoon, the
College of Education had developed
a system to have these
students back by Monday, she
said. All professional labs were
pulled for the rest of the quarter.
'We found most of these students
already had vaccinations
or they were born before 1956,"
said Virginia Hayes, associate
dean for academic affairs. "We
were simply taking precautions."
Although most students were
required to show proof of
measles vaccination upon
admittance to Auburn, the vaccinations
given before 1980
were not effective, Tomlin said.
Because these vaccinations
were ineffective, students were
required to be vaccinated again
to ensure protection, she said. '
Alabama law requires that
s t u d e n t s have at least 300
hours of classroom teaching
before they can become certified
to teach in Alabama. Tomlin
said she does not believe pulling
the interns will interfere with
this requirement.
Because the interns partici-'
pate in activities other than j u st
teaching classes, such as par-i
ent/teacher conferences, par-!
ent/teacher association meet-;
ings and bus duty, most of
them have more than 300 hours
already, she said.
"We don't feel pulling the
interns will put anyone in jeopardy
as far as not fulfilling the
requirement," Tomlin said. 'We
tried to resolve it quickly so the'
interns could get back into the
school systems.
"Most interns were winding
up assignments this week
because the public schools only
have one more week of school." ,
Hayes said students in labs"
and internships will be givert
credit for their work, and every^
one will graduate as scheduled.

Recruitment drive focuses on black faculty
By Vicki Vessels
News Editor
Of Auburn's nearly 1,000 fac-
-Ulty members, only 17 are
£>lack, according to Vice Resident
for Academic Affairs
Ronald J. Henry.
The not-so-new situation
prompted President James E.
Martin, some four years ago, to
instigate a recruiting effort to
attract more black faculty members.
Henry, who became vice
president for academic affairs in
February, is now renewing the
interest.
. The emphasis now is on
recruitment in the sciences and
engineering because those are
the two areas that show the
greatest need for more minority
faculty and students, Henry
paid.
; Five new minority faculty
positions have been provided for
in the budget, Henry said. "I
don't know what will happen If
we get more than five. Realistically,
we're prone to having difficulties
in filling those," he
said.
Engineering Dean William F.
Walker echoed the opinion.
"There just aren't very many
black Ph.D.s out there," he said.
This isn't exactly something
you can just do over the phone."
Although the state Legislature
recently passed next year's budget
with a 1.26 percent decrease
from this year's budget, Martin
said the five positions will not
be jeopardized.
Walker said his department
heads have already been advertising
the positions and making
contacts.
Even though five positions
may not seem like a lot, Keith
Parker, a minority faculty member
in sociology, said these five
positions filled will be of benefit.
"I think five will make a difference.
I hope it's just a beginning,"
he said. "I think one person
can make a difference, so
according to my standards, five
people should make five times
the difference."
Henry pointed out several reasons
for the problems In attracting
black faculty.
One explanation is that most
universities across the country
are aggressively searching for
the commodity that is already
scarce, he said.
Another reason, one that Parker
said he agrees with, is that
the private sector offers much
more lucrative positions and
salaries, especially in sciences
and engineering.
Parker said he Is not as worried
about attracting the minority
faculty as keeping them. "My
concern Is the University's ability
to retain black faculty," he
said.
"I don't think it has anything
to do with the work environment.
I think it's a matter of
money, and this is not just a
minority issue."
Martin said he recognizes the
problem, too. "We have looked
at, and do look at, other universities.
But it's terribly difficult
when your appropriation goes
down," he said. "I think we have
made some progress even if it
has been slow."
Possibly a more attractive part
of the program is that if a
vacancy in a department doesn't
exist, Martin's program will
allow a position to be created
anyway.
The specific departments that
are eligible include those in
engineering, agriculture, mathematics
and physical and biological
sciences.
Although this policy has the
potential to cause hard feelings
from other departments outside
the sciences and engineering,
Liberal Arts Dean Mary P.
Richards said she understands
and sympathizes with the need
in these areas.
We'd like to be involved, but
I'm not the kind of person, and I
don't think my department
heads are either, to begrudge
doing it somewhere else," she
said.
"We're supportive, but we're
waiting for whatever we can get,
too," she said.
The recruitment efforts are
designed to have a twofold benefit,
Henry said. "It's so that we
can have more black faculty as
role models to attract more
black students," he said.
Parker said he agrees with
this logic. "I think it certainly
facilitates the likelihood of
attracting minority students,
simply because many of the
black faculty have connections
in the areas where these students
come from," he said.
Walker offered his opinion as
to why black recruitment is so
slow at Auburn.
With only 2 to 3 percent of
students in engineering being would benefit.
black, he said, there's not much
of a peer group to encourage
new black students into the
school.
This lack of a large peer group
may also explain the difficulty
in attracting black faculty members,
he said.
'Tuskegee hurts the situation
(achieving more integration) at
Auburn, but we can only use
that excuse so far," Walker said.
Martin replied with the same
idea. "In a sense we can look at
Tuskegee as real competition,
especially with its reputation as
a very good school," he said.
"And for those who want to
locate in this area, we're just
about 20 miles apart, so it is
competition for our efforts."
Walker said he might be
receptive to some sort of cooperation
program between Auburn
and Tuskegee, but right now he
can only see where Auburn
English professor receives Fulbright scholarship
By Kayla Bradford
Staff Writer
English Professor Patrick
Morrow said he was not expecting
to receive his second Fulbright
scholarship.
"I was very surprised that I
got this Fulbright," Morrow said.
"I beat out all the competition."
The Fulbright program, created
in 1946 by Arkansas Sen.
J. William Fulbright, has been
compared to an early version of
the Peace Corps, Morrow said.
Fulbright scholarships are
typically given to Ivy League
schools, Morrow said. "I can do
a lot with what I learn and bring
it back to Auburn," he said.
Morrow will leave June 10 for
Suva, Fiji, to serve as U.S. Information
Agency Research Professor
at the University of the
South Pacific, where he will
research South Pacific literature
and interview area authors.
"I am very Interested in South
Pacific literature, and I'm teaching
a course on it right now,"
Morrow said.
The information Morrow gains
from the trip will be incorporated
into a freshman and upper
level course on South Pacific
Literature, he said.
In 1981, Morrow received his
first Fulbright scholarship in
Christchurch, New Zealand,
where he taught American Literature
at the University of Canterbury.
"The Polynesians are nice people,"
Morrow said. "It is a wonder
anyone lives to the age of 25
there, though. They are so big."
Through all of Morrow's
humor, he said he takes this
scholarship seriously.

Southern traditions
encourage violence
By Emily Riggins
Staff Writer
The tranquil image of chivalrous
men courting Southern
belles may be deceiving because
the South leads the nation with
the highest rate of homicide,
said Dr. Greg Kowalski, professor
of sociology.
"Not all Southerners accept
violence, but traditionally, the
Southern culture tends to facilitate
violence," he said.
Kowalski has studied homicide
rates in the nation and has
published reports in sociology
journals, including the American
Journal of Criminal Justice
and the Journal of Research in
Crime and Delinquency.
"The historical traditions of
the South have been more conducive
to violence than other
regions," he said. For example,
football is taken more seriously
in the South, he said.
"Football is not just football
down here, it is a way of life.
And what is football? It is controlled,
institutionalized violence,"
he said.
FBI Uniform Crime Reports
show Montgomery held the
highest increase in the nation
with a 39 percent increase in
violent crimes from 1987 to
1988.
Reports in 1986 said Southern
states accounted for 42 percent
of murders and 37 percent
of aggravated assaults in the
nation.
The Northeast had the lowest
percentage by accounting for 16
percent of murders and 17 percent
of aggravated assaults in
the nation, according to the
reports.
The South has maintained the
highest violence rate in the
nation for more than 100 years,
Kowalski said. 'There was this
image displaying sophisticated
culture, but it is supported by a
very brutal system, such as
slavery," he said.
Kowalski surveyed college
students in Southern states. He
found that 30 percent had experienced
some form of violence in
their dating situations. "Well
Aging tree to fall;
victim of progress
By Kriste Goad
Staff Writer
over 50 percent of those surveyed
(who had experienced violence
while dating) had also
seen violence in the home," he
said.
Violence within the family is
also more widely accepted in the
South than in other regions,
Kowalski said.
"There is a greater acceptance
of corporal punishment in the
home for raising children," he
said.
Dr. Keith Parker, sociologist
and specialist in criminology,
agreed that culture may contribute
to the high rate of violence,
but said there are other
contributing factors.
"In the past, the family and
church had a very tight grip on
an individual's behavior," Parker
said, "But the increase in recent
years is simply because individuals
are looking for external
agents to find approval of their
actions."
The availability of drugs in
Southern urban areas and family
dissolution also contributes
to anti-social and violent behavior,
he said.
Kowalski agreed. "Much of the
increase in crime in the entire
nation is due to the increase in
drug use," he said.
Drugs such as crack, cocaine
and hallucinogens increase a
person's level of paranoia and
will make a person more likely
to be violent, Kowalski said.
Liability Is the root of concern
in the removal of a tree in front
of the former Maranatha House.
The tree is being removed to
make way for the construction
of a University parking lot at
308 W. Magnolia Ave., according
to Charles J. Muller, campus
architect.
"Our stance is that the larger
of the two trees has been cut
back so much that It is off balance,"
Muller said. "We don't
remove trees at random. We
consider the condition of the
tree.
"Our concern is liability," he
said. If a windstorm blew the
tree down, and It landed on a
student's car or a student, the
University would be liable,
Muller said.
The removal of the tree will be
decided by either the city or the
University, depending on who
has jurisdiction over the property.
The University owns the
property, but the city is contesting
that it has planning and
zoning rights, Muller said.
"We're not trying to violate
rules," he said. 'We're just questioning
whether they (the city)
have the jurisdiction."
The city attorney was unavailable
for comment. University
Attorney Thomas D. Samford III
said he was unaware of any
problems.
The parking lot would provide
about 34 parking spaces, Muller
said. Zoning hasn't been established.
Muller said the University
will go ahead with the bidding.
However, city planning officials
said although the house is slated
for demolition, the work has
not yet been approved by the
planning board.
Mud lot paving to be completed summer
By Paul DeMarco
Assistant News Editor
Trees have been bulldozed
and the land cleared on the the
"mud lot" which will be paved
and landscaped by mid-summer,
according to Cathy Love, a
civil engineer for the facilities
division.
The north Coliseum parking
lot, which will park 344 vehicles
when completed, is being prepared
at a cost of $415,000,
Love said. The Board of
Trustees approved the money
for the site in June 1988.
Construction on the site
began April 13, and the completion
date has been set for July
16, but the project is about a,
week behind schedule. Love
and grass will be landscaped
around the parking lot to hide
the cars from the street, Love
said.
The lot will be the first of what
other lots around campus will
look like and will be more
attractive than the usual field of
asphalt, Love said.
"There were a number of
problems with the lot, including
police towing cars that were
stuck in the mud or blocking
other cars," Love said. "The
unpaved lot was very inefficient."
The lot will also have a lighting
system that will provide
more lighting for the entire lot,
Love said.
Parking in the lot will be
reserved for students with designated
"C" stickers, which will
include all undergraduate students
when the new zones are
implemented, she said.
This summer construction
will begin on new parking for
the University Chapel, Ingram
Hall and the site of the former
Maranatha House, Love said.

'There has been good weather,
but there were a number of difficult
trees and stumps to
remove," Love said. "A number
of pines, close to 20, were torn
down."
In keeping with the master
landscaping plan, facilities will
plant five trees for every one
torn down, she said.
Hardwood trees will be planted
to provide more shade for the
parking lot, and 3- to 5-feet

Party shakeup sign of new political climate
Brad Mendheim
Staff Writer
Alabama is quickly becoming
a two-party state, and the
recent shakeup on the Alabama
State Democratic Executive
Committee is evidence of this
new political climate, political
science professor Gerald Johnson
said.
"For the first time in history,
the Democratic Party in Alabama
is having to act like a political
party," he said.
The rule changes concerning
the makeup of the executive
committee is part of this," Johnson
said.
The Democratic Executive
Committee followed Alabama
Party Chairman John Baker's
recommendation and removed
all appointive seats to the committee.
Margaret Latimer, political
science professor, said during
the 1960s, the Democratic Party
began allowing appointment of
black members who could not
be elected before because of voting
discrimination.
Also, the Alabama Democratic
Conference (ADC), an organization
representing blacks in the
state party, was given the
authority to fill 24 of the 42
appointive seats on the 210-
member executive committee,
she said.
However, since the appointive
positions were established in
the 1960s, changes have been
made making these rules
unnecessary, she said.
"Blacks have been enfranchised
by the Voting Rights Act,
and districts are now drawn so
that blacks can get elected," she
said. "The reason for giving

8 'You have to wonder how long
; it will take to alleviate the prob-
( lem when the people who are
ultimately responsible for addressing
the situation have their
personal parking spots reserved
24 hours a day," he said.
"It is difficult for anyone to
; really appreciate the problem
i until they have had to drive
! around the campus for 20 min-
• utes looking for a place to park,"
P he said.
Executive Vice President
I George Emert could not be
§ reached for comment. Committee
members said Emert has
been the instigator of most of
the decisions made without the
committee's consideration.
Committee Chairman John
Grover, a fisheries professor, is
out of the country and could not
be reached for comment. Those
non-student members who
could be reached refused to
comment on the relations
between the administration and
the committee.
"Our committee seems to
serve mostly as a buffer for the
administration in dealing with
special requests and complaints
related to parking matters," the
committee report said.
"Most of the all-too-apparent
parking problems and lack of a
strategy to deal with them still
exist," it said.
Vote
continued from A-l
burk's decision to resign in
1982.
Martin said on Wednesday
that he has not discussed the
possibility of a confidence vote
with Solomon. He had no further
comment.
Most of the faculty's concern
has come about in light of controversy
surrounding the Alumni
Association, Solomon said.
Smith resigned as executive
director of the Alumni
Association on May 8 after
months of controversy about
his judgment and his spending
of the Alumni Association's
money.
However, some past animosity
may be underlying reasons For
dissatisfaction, Solomon said.
"When there is a large Issue,
some of those dissatisfied focus
on that issue," he said.

No plans exist yet to require

Barnes said Tuesday.
Free vaccinations are being
given at the Drake Student
Health Center during regular
office hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday.
"I guess we'll offer (the vaccination)
as long as people are
asking for it," Ellis said.

appointments to these seats has
disappeared."
The new rule concerning executive
committee seats requires
that blacks always hold at least
25 percent of the seats to
ensure their participation,
Latimer said.
There were also other political
reasons for Baker's move, she
said.
"In recent years, the New
South Coalition has appeared in
Alabama as an organization
interested in blacks. Birmingham
Mayor Richard Arrington is
a prominent leader in this
group," she said.
The Coalition did not think it
was fair for the ADC to have
sole authority in appointing
blacks to the executive committee,
she said.
"By removing the appointments,
Baker is also making a
gesture to the New South (in the
removal of the appointive
seats)," Latimer said.
A second political reason
behind the change is an attempt
to attract conservatives to the
Democratic Party, she said.
In recent years, many Alabama
conservatives have tended to
support the Republican Party,
and Baker is hoping to win
them over to the Democratic
Party, Latimer said.
Johnson agrees that there is a
lot of behind-the-scenes partisan
movement going on in
Alabama politics.
The recent changes in the
method of choosing executive
committee members is evidence
of what the Democratic Party is
doing, he said.
"In the past, the Democratic
Party in Alabama had been
nothing more than an umbrella

chance. Who knows, we may be

weeks."
WEGL Program Director.
Daphne McConnell, 04 GFLF,
said, "It shows that he and the
Comm Board weren't acting in
the station's best interest. I
hope the Comm Board will realize
that they made a mistake.
"Hopefully, we'll all learn from
it."
Vice President for Student
Affairs Pat Barnes said there's
no precedent for the resignation
of station manager. "I would
think we would probably start
the selection process over, but I
don't know."
Former station manager Clay
Crook, 06 ME, said, "I've no idea
what will happen. But we're
going to have to pay the piper."
Sixty-nine percent of the station
voted in the election with
67 percent voting for French's
resignation, and 33 percent voting
against it.

organization. The party had no
real meaning because voters
voted for individuals, not a
parry," he said.
An Alabamlan identified himself
as a Wallaces-supporter or a
Fob James-supporter rather
than a Democrat or Republican,
he said.
"In the past, party had no
meaning," he said.
But this is beginning to
change because some Alabami-ans
feel more comfortable with
national Republican positions,
and this is starting to filter into
the state political arena, Johnson
said.
The recent rise in state
Republicans and changes within
the Democratic Parry could
have a major political impact on
Alabama, he said.
"The 1986 election of Guy
Hunt was an accident. But coupled
with a long-term philosophical
trend, this could make
a difference," Johnson said.
In 1986, the Democratic Party
voided the gubernatorial nomination
of Charles Graddick and
awarded it to Bill Baxley. Baxley
was then defeated by Hunt.
Hunt was the first Republican
governor of Alabama in the 20th
Century and is considered by
many political observers to have
benefited from the disarray over
the nomination of a Democratic
candidate, Johnson said.
"For the first time in modern
history, Alabamians have a partisan
choice at state and local
levels," he said. "And the Democratic
Party is having to respond
to this rise of Republicans.

Some confidence
Last week, University
Senate Chairman Miller
Solomon said that there
were some faculty who
wanted to raise a "no confidence"
vote for President
James Martin.
Solomon said he would
try to stop any move in this
direction and that he wanted
to handle the matter privately
with Martin.
Bravo to you Solomon;
the last problem we need
now is an empty president's
office. Maybe Martin
hasn't handled the entire
alumni affair as aggressively
as we would have
liked, but he should not
step down.
This would only complicate
the situation and create
an even larger problem.
Fortunately, cooler heads
have prevailed - for the
time being.
Measles epidemic
Everything was fine until
"it" happened.
The "it" referred to is the
announcement last Friday
that the measles malaise
here at Auburn had finally
matured into a big, fat epidemic.
The University underwent
metamorphosis into chaos
as gears shifted from quiet
to panic.
Under the scrutiny of the
TV cameras and state
press, the administration
finally sprung to action,
taking steps to keep students
out of contact with
the community such as
closing the free movie to
nonstudents - much to the
chagrin of the oblivious
movie-goers.
Then came the inevitable
announcement that classes
would close at noon on
Tuesday so that students
could be inoculated.
So what exactly have
these steps accomplished?
Closing the free movie did
little to actually keep students
from coming in contact
with city residents.
And, while we all like a
vacation once in a while,
closing classes so the final
15 percent of the students
could get inoculated didn't
make much sense to us.
Why didn't they go before
or after class like the other
17,000 students?
Unfortunately, these
steps were ineffective in
doing anything but giving
some peace of mind to an
administration which had
been slow to act.
Should I stay, or ...
Yesterday afternoon, the
staff of WEGL-FM voted
whether to keep its new
station manager, Robert
French.
After being appointed
1989-90 station manager
by the Communications
Board on May 4, French
was greeted by an uproar
of WEGL staff members
who are unhappy with his
appointment because he
has never served at the station.
However, French has six
years experience at two
radio stations in Opelika.
Last week, we expressed
our concern that the Comm
Board would appoint someone
with no experience at
the station despite his
experience outside the station.
But we don't agree with
the decision to vote
whether to keep French.
The WEGL staff should
give him a chance without
a gun to his head. If not,
WEGL is guilty of the narrow-
mindedness which
they so vociferously
deplore.
More room
After four months of
waiting, the Union Board
made recommendations for
allotting 6,500 square feet
of space in Foy Union left
when the Alumni Association
moved out.
If approved by President
James Martin, several
organizations would move
into Foy Union for the first
time, and others would
receive needed space.
Only three organizations
of 12 were denied space.
We applaud the Union
Board for its work and
decisions which will benefit
students in many organizations.
No blank checks for the GSO
The Graduate Student Organization
doesn't seem to realize
it, but it has accomplished a
great deal in the past year.
After three years of GSO negotiations
with three SGA administrations,
the Student Senate
adopted the Articles of Cooperation
several weeks ago which
officially recognizes the GSO for
the first time. In doing so, the
SGA recognized that graduate
students have different needs
than undergrads and that the
GSO will work to meet these
needs.
While it was a momentous
decision, the GSO isn't satisfied.
The unhappiness can be
traced back to the money tree,
as is so often the case. The GSO
claims it can't do anything without
money, yet it is unwilling to
go through the Budget and
Finance Committee budget process.
Every student activity - the
Glom, Rec Services, UPC, even
the SGA - must go before the
SGA's B&F Committee each
year to receive its funding.
The system ensures fairness
by making all the organizations
accountable for how they spend
their money. For instance, Circle
magazine received enough
funds to print one issue a year
until it was proven they were
capable of producing more.
The GSO wants to forego the
entire process by receiving a flat
David
Sharp
rate of 10 percent of the SGA's
budget since grad students
make up 10 percent of the student
population.
But its reasoning in this is
shallow.
First of all, some grad students
claim the GSO can't trust
the B&F Committee to give the
funding it deserves. What they
don't seem to understand is
that the B&F Committee does a
competent job of sorting out
funds for the various activities.
The only reason the committee
would deny GSO funds
would be if it wasted those
funds.
Another grad student claims
student activity funds go toward
activities in which graduate students
do not participate.
This is true. I've never seen a
grad student at the free movie
or other UPC events or the Student
Activity Center - just kidding.
The GSO also claims that the
SGA does not meet the needs of
graduate students. This may be
true, but graduate students
haven't given it a chance to
work. The graduate students
didn't even care enough to run
for office this year.
Only one graduate student
ran for the three Senate positions.
The other two will have to
be appointed.
A grad student who served a
year in the Student Senate said
not one graduate issue was
brought up in the Senate. But
one must ask him how many
issues the graduate senators
brought up for discussion. The
answer is obvious.
The argument that gets me
most is this one. Some GSO
representatives have complained
that since they are grad
students, they are too busy to
fool with the B&F process.
While they claim they're too
busy to present a budget, I
doubt they would hesitate to
find time to spend it.
This attitude of the GSO
tends to show the attitude that
graduate students are better
than undergraduates - that
they're too mature to fool with
silly SGA committees. This attitude
of the GSO leadership is
insulting to undergraduates at
best.
Former GSO President Bill
Revington knew exactly what he
was saying when he told a
Plainsman reporter that the
Senate "can't make a mature
decision."
It's offensive that someone
should be so presumptuous to
think he has all the answers;
yet, this is the tone that GSO
representatives have taken in
dealing with the SGA as well as
The Plainsman.
The underlying argument
behind the whole funding dispute
is the GSO claims it must
have a funding source free of
SGA ties to maintain membership
in its national organization
- the National Association of
Graduate/Professional Students
(NAGS - an appropriate
acronym).
However, a representative
from NAGS said in a telephone
interview that B&F funding
would be acceptable if grad students
were represented on the
committee and if a minimum
amount of funding was guaranteed.
While neither of these requirements
are currently met, it does
demonstrate that B&F funding
is possible, despite what the
GSO leadership would like us to
believe.
The GSO achieved a lot when
the Senate adopted its Articles
of Cooperation on April 17; it
should be happy with what its
achieved.
But it shouldn't hope for a
blank check from the SGA.

Alumni affair belongs in court
Ollie North was convicted.
He may have been interpreted
as an American hero and wanted
to do right, but he broke die
law.
Sounds like a case close to
home - home as in Auburn
where former Executive Director
of the Alumni Association Jerry
Smith allegedly violated ethics
rules according to the Alabama
State Ethics Commission. Yet
Attorney General Don Slegel-man
has said the case now
lacks "prosecutorial merit."
Come on Don, we all know
you are running for governor
next year and are usually the
first politician to jump on the
bandwagon to make the headlines.
Here is your chance to
show that the Alabama Ethics
Commission is not all bark and
no bite and you start talking in
political legalese.
Give me a break.
How can this case lack "prosecutorial
merit" if the Alabama
Ethics Commission ruled unanimously
4-0 that Smith likely
violated ethics rules by using
his office for personal gain.
Smith, as a state employee,
would fall under this law.
The grand Jury was about to
investigate Jerry Smith for his
role as an executor for an alumnus
who donated $1.8 million
when he resigned last Monday
from his position. Smith
received an estimated $30,000
for handling the account.
Paul
DeMarco
It was believed that he had
the choice to resign and pay the
money back to the state or stay
in his office and be prosecuted.
He resigned but still has the
money in the bank.
Ollie North also resigned his
position, but was convicted on
three counts.
If Smith were working for a
private business and did what
he had done, it might have been
different. But he was a state
employee and had to follow
rules about using his position to
further his financial well-being.
Whether he broke any ethical
standards should be decided by
the courts, not by a politician
such as the case with Siegel-man.
Smith will leave Auburn in
J u l y and receive between
$28,000 and $32,000 a year
from the state for his 25 years
of service to the state in retirement
benefits.
Is it right for him to leave with
all of these questions unanswered?
There is one issue that has
remained throughout this whole
ordeal.
Is the $25 that the faithful
Auburn alumni donate yearly to
the Alumni Association being
spent wisely for the betterment
of Auburn?
We still don't know.

WEGL manager situation 'reeks'
Bob French has several titles
these days: the newly appointed
WEGL station manager, the new
guy and, most recently, the man
who cut his own throat.
Many believe that French cut
his own throat by allowing
WEGL personnel to vote on
whether or not they LIKE him
for station manager.
The statement is true because
he's dealing with a lot of angry,
irrational WEGL employees who
would enjoy cutting his throat
and watching the blood flow, or
so it seems.
Last Sunday's general staff
meeting was one of the most
frightening experiences IVe ever
been through. Everyone was
asking questions but refusing to
listen to the answers.
Sure, French hasn't paid his
dues. He has never worked at
WEGL before, and that's made a
<m>t Shayne
Bowman
lot of people mad.
But anger is a funny emotion,
and many at WEGL seem to
contain their anger, which Is
understandable.
When someone new comes
into the picture, everyone is
going to contain some animosity-
Yet, French did nothing to
alleviate initial fears.
The first days with French
were disturbing. He was so condescending,
pompous and arrogant
that one almost felt like he
was the measles epidemic and
the station was his next unsuspecting
victim.
However, there Is no inoculation
for French that I or any
other WEGL staff member can
take.
French has changed, however.
His changes in attitude were
drastic in several ways. He
became understanding, reasonable
and honest. He admitted,
"IVe made some mistakes and
I'm gonna make them again."
At this comment, many staff
members wanted to say
"Awwwwh, poor little Bobsy
Wobsy," then lose their lunch.
But what most people don't
realize is that French's ideas for
change are not what scares the
WEGL staff. What scares them
is his salesman/public relations
ways of doing things. Bob
French could be a cult leader if
he wanted to be.
His sudden change from devil
to deity has frightened some
people and alleviated some fears
for others. But it makes me
skeptical.
The station's decision as of
Tuesday was split down the
middle with French.
On one hand, people say, "OK
he's gonna listen to us now." On
the other hand, people say,
"Can we trust him? "
The whole situation reeks,
and I blame the Comm Board
for all these problems. The station
was unified and now it is
not.
Regardless of how WEGL
votes I suggest that the Comm
Board seriously rethink their
decisions In the past and do a
better job next time.

Letters
You It's a common question readers ask themselves
each day when they pick up.the newspaper. Why
did the story about the abortion protest in Minnesota
make the front page while a story about
Gov. Guy Hunt's education plan was buried on
page six? On a local level, why did the The Plainsman
cover the controversy surrounding Executive
Director of the Alumni Association Jerry Smith
while the Soccer Club didn't even warrant mention
in the sports section? The fact is most people don't
understand news judgment or how the newspaper
makes its editorial decisions.
In an effort to increase understanding of how we
make our news decisions, we have compiled spe-.
cific cases of real-life decisions we have had to
deal with this year. Here's your chance to see how
the decision-making process works at The Plainsman.
Read the following incidents and decide what
you would have done as editor under the same circumstances.
You don't have to agree - there is no
right answer.
I You hear through the grapevine that a
fraternity pledge almost died Of alcohol poisoning
last weekend. Checking into the
story, you find that pledge drank a bottle of vodka
and had a blood alcohol level of .59 percent at the
hospital. A level of .1 percent is legally drunk in
Alabama.
In the past, you have heard similar rumors. In
fact, two similar incidents happened the year
before but were not reported. If this had been a
non-Greek student, you probably wouldn't have
come across the information in the first place. Is
the event newsworthy because a student almost
died, or is it newsworthy because the student was
BE THE EDITOR
a Greek? How would you handle this story? Would
you print it? Would you name the fraternity
involved?
2 A gentlemen places an advertisement in
your newspaper urging white people to "Be
proud - take pride." The 2 column by 7 inch
advertisement goes on to point out famous white
men in history - Columbus, Lindberg, Caesar,
Napoleon, Washington, Vivaldi etc ... "Just to list
the great accomplishments of our race would
require the work of a lifetime. No one has more to
be proud of than we do!"
The advertisement cost $59.50, and the gentleman's
account is in good standing. However, the
advertisement may be offensive to many students,
especially minorities. As the editor, you have control
over the content of the newspaper, including
advertising. The gentleman claims that his advertisement
should be run because the newspaper
allows a gay organization (Alpha Lambda Omega)
to place classified ads in the newspaper. You can
legally refuse the ad. What would you do?
3 A student dies unexpectedly of a rare illness.
She is president of a national leadership
honorary chapler here at Auburn. She
is a member of War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen -
the official hosts and hostess' of the University -
and is a past executive secretary of the SGA. She
is a member of ODK, Mortar Board, Lambda
Sigma and Cardinal Key honoraries. In short, she
is a campus leader.
You are aware that several students have
already died earlier in the year. However, for various
reasons, they received only a brief mention in
the newspaper. Does the death of a student leader
warrant more coverage than a more "average" student?
4 Rumors have been surfacing regarding
alleged turmoil within the University. Credible,
reliable sources say the faculty is restless
because of the lavish spending habits within
the Alumni Association. The sources claim a war
is being waged within the Board of Trustees
between two factions.
Furthermore, a "confidential memorandum"
from the chairman of the University Senate surfaces
which accuses the Alumni Association with a
"lack of leadership" and "poor judgment" in using
a $50,000 petty cash fund. It also alleges a conflict
of interest with the executive director of the
Alumni Association because he sits on the board
of a bank in which the Alumni Association chose
for its credit card.
Sources claim Auburn's future is in jeopardy,
that the University is being torn apart by internal
strife. No one will discuss the problems "on the
record." The temptation to quote anonymous
sources is great. What do you do?
5 A student running for office in a media
position had met the minimum grade
requirement at the time of qualification.
However, after qualification, the student's grades
dropped below the minimum requirement. This
student won the election.
This student works at The Plainsman, and you
have access to information that you would probably
not normally receive. The story directly affects
the office. You question whether you can write an
unbiased story about an event occurring within
your own office. What would you do?
6 Faculty, students and members of the
community regularly bring items they want
publicized in The Plainsman. Often they
want meetings covered, sometimes with the
request for a "preview" story as well as normal
coverage. You have to choose what you deem
newsworthy because the number of pages and
writers are limited. This is not a specific example,
but one that occurs frequently at The Plainsman
What do you do?
What The Plainsman did:
Case 1: The Plainsman ran the story on the
front page and named the fraternity involved.
However, the pledge was not named. The Plainsman
also wrote an editorial imploring IFC and fraternity
officers to be open in discussing alcohol
problems. Case 2: The Plainsman did not run the
advertisement because the advertisement was
deemed offensive. Case 3: The Plainsman ran the
story on the front page with a photograph. However,
The Plainsman has tried to put more time into
covering the deaths of other students as well.
Case 4: The Plainsman ran the "confidential"
memorandum unedited, but chose not to quote
unnamed sources. Case 5: The story was written
and ran on page A-4. Case 6: The Plainsman
makes it a policy not to write "preview" stories
except in rare cases because they are seen as free
publicity. It is also policy not to cover club meetings
unless there's a controversial topic or newsworthy
figure present. However, Campus Calendar
is provided as a public service to chartered clubs
to announce meetings.
B&F fairest way to fund GSO
Editor, The Plainsman:
t
This letter is in response" to"
the many letters from GSO
m members that have been printed
in T\\e Plainsman over the past
few weeks. In some of the letters,
GSO members had honest,
r valid points.
However, in Mitchell T. Gore's
letter of last week, several half
truths have been twisted to
make formidable arguments for
GSO funding.
The budget and finance pro-
+ cess is complicated, but let me
attempt to explain it. Each
quarter, $9.50 is taken from
each student's tuition and put
* in the student activity fee fund.
In February of each year, this
money is given to the Budget
4 and Finance (B&F) Committee
to allocate to student activity
projects.
These projects include WEGL-
*•> FM, Clom, Recreational Services,
UPC, Performing Arts,
Tiger Cub, The Circle and the
„ SGA Note that the SGA is only
one of the eight projects.
The projects turn budgets into
the committee with specific line
items showing where the projected
funds' wltt'be spent: - This
makes projects accountable for
the money they spend.
Also, B&F Committee members
are assigned to a project at
the beginning of the year. The
senators then spend the rest of
the year familiarizing themselves
with the project - thus
understanding each project's
specific needs.
Last year, the fund was near
$700,000 and SGA received
about $65,000 of this. The GSO
wants to take 10 percent of the
previous year's SGA budget
directly off the top of the student
activity fee fund without
submitting a budget to the committee.
The Senate had many
problems with this, and that is
why they didn't approve this
funding method.
First, the GSO would be taking
money off the top and have
a guaranteed amount of money
each year while other projects
such as UPC have no guaranteed
amount. Second, the GSO
wouldn't have to submit a budget
and thus would not have to
account for its expenses to the
' student body.
The GSO I T S suggested it
could turn its budget into the
administration but it's not the
administration's money. It's the
student's.
Thus the B&F Committee is
the only body that GSO budgets
should be submitted unto. The
Senate felt that the fairest way
for GSO to be funded was
through the B&F Committee.
The GSO members have
claimed that this will not allow
them to hold national offices;
however, an article on the front
page of The Plainsman last week
proved their argument to be
incorrect.
Thus, Mitchell Gore's argument
that the "Student Senate
failed due to a lack of understanding"
is completely invalid.
The Student Senate approved
what we believe the fairest way
that GSO may be funded.
Tripp Haston, chairman
1988-89 B&F Committee
Quote of the week
"I can say without any reservation that these students are involved in an activity which will continue
to serve them in the future." - President James Martin, addressing ROTC students at the
annual President's Day Review last Thursday
The week in history • vt •;
10 years ago, 1979: Truman Capote, author of In Cold Blood, spoke to a crowd at the Student
Activities Building. Capote recited two of his works. My Side of the Matter, and A Christmas Memory-
25 years ago, 1964: Distribution of the 1964 Glomerata began. The yearbook provided a contrast
to previous editions, including a four color cover. Business Manager Gus Clements said the biggest
change would be the extensive use of color photographs.
35 years ago, 1954: A Plainsman editorial implored Governor-elect James E. Folsom to do something
about Alabama's educational system. "Illiteracy is high in our state - too high. You, as governor
have the power to put education back on its feet. Don't offer if a pair of crutches with sympathetic
amends," the editorial read.
Still longing for classic rock
Education in U.S. insufficient
Editor, The Plainsman:
College students commonly
are accused of being apathetic.
Although there are apathetic
* students, just as there are apathetic
professors, we believe college
students in general are
deeply concerned about the
* quality of their education.
If you were to poll Auburn
students regarding their major
t concern, many would probably
mention the fear of being unable
to compete in the "real work
world" with students from other
countries.
Students are not alone in this
concern. Columnist David S.
*" Broder quoted retiring Labor
Secretary Ann Dore McLaughlin:
"Second, in this kind of
,. labor market, failures in education
and training of any large
group of potential workers will
cripple the United States in the
* ever-tougher international competition...
Too many millions of
young people are dropping out
t, of school or failing to acquire
the skills new Jobs require"
[The Anniston Star, Jan. 18).
And although job skills are
* certainly important, we believe a
broad liberal arts grounding is
necessary for all students. After
all, what is our motivation for
being at a university? Do we
want to acquire an education or
just a job skill?
Over the years, higher education
has shrunk from its original
liberal arts basis to vocational
training for a specific
field. The danger is that students
will be prepared at best
only to work in the narrow field
in which they obtain their
degree. A liberal arts education
will expand their horizons as
students learn about and
explore different fields.
The proposed core curriculum
being reviewed by President
James Martin is a step in the
right direction. As we understand
it, the proposed core
would require: English composition
(five hours), foreign language
(15 hours), mathematics
(five hours), logic (three hours),
world history (nine hours), great
books (nine hours), science (15
hours), social sciences (nine
hours) and fine arts (three
hours).
There are potential problems
with this proposed core, however.
For example, nothing would
be offered (or is currently
offered, to the best of our
knowledge) to students who are
behind on math skills.
Another potential problem is
what happens if Auburn and
other universities raise their
academic standards without
similar reform occurring in primary
and secondary schools.
A recent study by the Educational
Testing Service showed
that U.S. children finished dead
last in math and science skills
compared to the children of the
United Kingdom, Ireland, South
Korea, Spain and four Canadian
providences. This study was
conducted among 24,000 13-
year-olds in the various countries
[The Tuscaloosa News,
Feb. 3).
Once again, we have to ask if
our education has fitted us to
compete with the world. And it's
frightening that we cannot
answer with a resounding yes.

Editor, The Plainsman:
For the past four years, I've
been a die-hard critic of WEGL's
programming: however, during
the past six or seven months I
must admit that I've found my
radio dial on WEGL more than
ever. The change stemmed from
giving this "progressive music" a
chance; as a result, my ear has
become accustomed to many of
the selections.
I salute WEGL's boldness in
providing the students an
alternative to other "trash"
stations that dominate our
airwaves.
Yet, I still long for the "classic
rock" of the '70s - Bruce
Springsteen, Bob Seger,
Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles -
and see no reason that WEGL
would be affected if this music
is implemented into the regular
programming other than its
"specialty hours."
Hopefully, the recent selection
of "outsider" Bob French will
take these issues into
consideration and possibly find
a medium of programming that
can be enjoyed by not only the
"progressive" listener but also
the "classic" listener as well.
I think that his proposal to
"take a scientific survey to see
what the students want to hear"
is fair and that if any changes
