Guthrie leaves
for B'ham post
5 more resign from Association
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
Phillip Guthrie, the newly
named temporary executive
director of the Alumni Associa­tion,
has accepted a new job
and will resign from the Alumni
Association effective May 31.
Guthrie will return to his pre­vious
job with Vulcan Materials
in Birmingham, he said.
"This will be a promotion for
him, and if you have a chance
to upgrade yourself, you usually
jump at the chance," said Pat
Brackin, administration director
for the Alumni Association.
Guthrie said "This is an
opportunity I couldn't pass up
at the time."
When asked when he received
the offer for this Job. Guthrie
said he could not comment.
"Guthrie has done an out­standing
job, and we are sorry
to see him go," said President
James E. Martin. "We wish him
well."
Until a replacement for
Guthrie can be found, someone
will be appointed by Martin and
Alumni Association President
Batey Gresham to assure that
the paperwork flows, Martin
said.
Although Gresham has been
contacted, procedures for per­manently

Minimum GPA
referendum set

By David Sharp
Editor
The Student Senate approved
a resolution Monday night
which will allow students to
decide whether to raise the min­imum
GPA requirement for SGA
candidates and officials.
The Senate voted unanimous­ly
to support a referendum that
would require a 2.25 GPA for
students seeking SGA office
and a 2.0 minimum GPA
throughout their tenure.
Because the change requires
an amendment to the SGA
Code, students will decide the
matter campus-wide during the
homecoming vote next fall, said
SGA Vice President Scott Ayers.
"There is a need to raise it
(the standard)," Ayers said after
the meeting. "1 feel it's our duty
to do everything that we can to
eliminate controversy in the
candidate."
SGA President Scott Turn-quist
said the requirement of
maintaining a 2.0 GPA during
their tenure enforces standards
already in place by the Universi­ty-

standard for academic perfor­mance,"

Comm Board unhappy with WEGL decision
By David Sharp
Editor
SGA President^Scott Turn­quist
has called for a special
meeting of the Communications
Board today to discuss the situ­ation
surrounding the WEGL

The Comm Board voted last
week to accept the resignation
of newly appointed Station Man­ager
Robert French after an
internal vote by the WEGL staff
requesting his removal.

Distribution of the 1989
Glomerata went smoothly as
more than 9,000 books were
given out Monday through
Wednesday, according to Glom
Editor Loren Collins, 04 LPO.
"Maybe everything bad hap­pened
last year," Collins said.
'The delivery truck was actually
early (this year)."
Last year, a printer broke a
few days before distribution was
scheduled to begin and a truck
carrying Gloms had a flat tire on
the way to Auburn, he said.

Mr. French wants to address the
Board," Turnquist said yester­day.
"I think he deserves that."
Turnquist, a member of the
Comm Board, said French's res­ignation
is unfortunate. "The
Comm Board regrets the whole
situation." he said. "WEGL
didn't give Robert French a
chance, and Robert French
didn't give himself a chance."
The Comm Board selected a
candidate who would bring new
ideas and would be representa­tive
of the students, Turnquist
said.
David Housel, sports informa­tion
director and member of the
Board, said it was wrong for
French to resign.
"The station doesn't have the
right to oust a manager," Housel
said. "That authority resides
with the Comm Board."
Don Richardson, head of the
speech communications depart­ment,
also agreed that French
should not have resigned.
"I don't think it's a good idea
to let people decide before
you've had a chance to per­form,"
he said. "Quite frankly, I
think he made a mistake."
Meanwhile, the Communica­tions
Board agreed last week to
begin searching for a new sta­tion
manager.
"Since it (the resignation) is
not precedented in writing any­where
I could find, we will once
again be seeking candidates
for WEGL's station manager,"
said Pat Barnes, vice president
for student affairs and chair­man
of the Board.
Advertisement for the position
will be placed in The Plainsman,
and a meeting will be held
June 8 to appoint a new manag­er,
she said.
French had held a staff meet­ing
the preceding Sunday and
announced that he would
let WEGL's students decide
whether they wanted him as
station manager.
If they voted no, he said he
would resign.
"I chose to give them the voice
they wanted in deciding who
would be their station man­ager,"
the letter of resignation
said. "I think everyone needs to
just sit back and think about
what has been said."

A one-car accident Saturday
has left Dr. Pat Barnes, the vice
president for student affairs, in
the hospital with a broken back,
bruises and scratches.
The accident happened south
of Anniston on Highway 431 as
Barnes was traveling to see her
mother in Gadsden.
"The rain was coming down
hard, and I hit a large pool of
water," Barnes said. 'When the
car hit the water I began to

Barnes was transported to the
Regional Medical Center in
Anniston and was then trans­ferred
to the East Alabama Med­ical

The doctors have told Barnes
she will be in the hospital for
four weeks and then recover at
home for two to six weeks before
she can return to work, she
said.

Measles epidemic spreads to Atlanta
Because a Roswell, Ga., student visited Auburn and came down
with the measles, health officials plan to start giving measles vac­cinations
to the 1,500 students at Roswell High School, officials
said.
Alabama health officials have received reports of two cases of
measles, and they suspect a third case.
State health officials will know more about the current strength
and spread of measles In Georgia in a few days, said Gary Higgin-botham,

Paul Hubbert, executive director of the Alabama Education
Association and head of Alabama's teacher lobby, announced
Monday night that he will seek the Democratic gubernatorial

Hubbert said that there is a 99 percent chance that he will run,
regardless of whoever else enters the race.
Gov. Guy Hunt is the expected Republican opponent for the
winner of the Democratic primary.
Lindsey first execution in 2 years
Michael Lindsey will die in Alabama's electric chair Friday,
unless the execution is stopped by a court intervention. Lindsey
shares his seat on death row with 105 other inmates.
Lindsey was sentenced to death as a result of the Dec. 14, 1981,
robbery and killing of Rosemary Zimlich Rutland.
The last execution in Alabama occurred Aug. 28, 1987, when
Eugene Ritter was executed for the robbery and killing of a Mobile

Lack of surplus means higher prices
School lunch prices may be increasing in the fall because the
amount of surplus dry milk and other dairy products distributed
by the government for school lunch programs has greatly
declined, school officials said.
Federal legislation was created in 1985 to balance supply and
demand of food considered by the government to be surplus. The
legislation is considered the cause of the reduction in surpluses.
However, national school districts have become dependent on
the bonuses beyond the normal amount contributed each year.

Soviets want military pacts disbanded
Both the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw
Pact should be disbanded, suggested Soviet officials on Monday.
General Gennady Gerasimov, the Soviet Foreign Ministry

This proposal comes a week before representatives of NATO's 16
member nations hold their summit.

A ballistic missile, with a range of more than 1,500 miles, was

This was the third attempt by Indian military officials to launch

Record number students attend forum
By Paige Oliver
Assistant Copy Editor
A record 160 students were in
attendance Monday night at the
largest student forum held since
its conception last spring, SGA
Vice President Scott Ayers said.
"We've moved from low atten­dance
where forums had to be
called off to one where ques­tions
were posed and an­swered,"
Secretary of Public
Relations Carl Davis said.
Jointly sponsored by the SGA
and the UPC, the forum includ­ed
presentations from the UPC
and the Graduate Student
Organization (GSO), a clip from
the 1988 Video Yearbook and an
introduction of executive Cabi­net
secretaries by the SGA. The
forum ended with a question-and-
answer session.
UPC Assistant Coordinator
Gay Gleghorn addressed how
the major entertainment com­mittee
chooses performers and
the booking process for chosen
acts. The Rod Stewart concert
cancellation was addressed by
UPC Coordinator Will Nance
during the questlon-and-answer
session.
'We're having a problem find­ing
entertainment that will
appeal to 7 to 8,000 students,"
Nance said. "Auburn is such a
diverse campus, we're having a
problem pleasing that many
people."
GSO President Bill Revington
briefly introduced the GSO and
addressed its purpose. "The
GSO on campus considers itself
a surface organization for grad­uate
students," he said.
SGA Graduate School Senator
Mitch Henry said while it was
encouraging to see graduate
students at the forum, he was
concerned that Revington did
not speak longer. "Bill has some
good things to say, and I feel
there is some animosity
between the SGA and the GSO,"
he said.
The GSO was included in the
forum as a "courtesy appear­ance,"
Davis said.
The SGA was represented by
the recently installed executive
officers who, along with the
executive Cabinet secretaries.
discussed plans for their terms.
Speaking about the concern
that the 1989-90 Senate, which
includes only three returning
senators, may be considered
"inexperienced," Ayers said,
"Even though it's young, I kind
of like it because they're enthu­siastic."
Davis said Tuesday's forum
was a success compared to past
forums, but he would have liked
to have seen more participation
from the students during the
question-and-answer session.
"We threw out a lot of infor­mation.
The forums are kind of
an accountability check," Davis
said. "I was disappointed we
didn't have more students
address the issues."
Plane crash kills 2, cause still unknown
By Paul DeMarco
Assistant News Editor
A plane crash at the Auburn-
Opelika Airport Tuesday morn­ing
left two people dead, after
their plane veered off the run­way
on takeoff and crashed into
nearby woods.
Dr. Vernon H. Carter, 60, and
his wife Kathryn Brown Carter,
50, were killed instantly when
the plane exploded on impact at
about 8:50 a.m.
The Arkansas couple, who
were personal friends of Presi­dent
James Martin, had spent
the night in Auburn and were
on their way to Florida when the
home-built kit turbo prop jet
experimental aircraft crashed by
the southeast runway.
Airport personnel were the
first to reach the crash, along
with fire department personnel
from Auburn and Opelika.
The plane was already in the
air, but banked sharply to the
left just before It crashed and
exploded about 20 yards into
the woods, according to Auburn
Fire Chief Steve Woodall.
The fire department extin­guished
the flames from the fire
that had started after the plane
crashed, he said.
The preliminary report on the
cause of the deaths should be
released within the next couple
of days, according to Bill Clark
of the Lee County coroner's
office.
The Federal Aviation Adminis­tration
said that weather has
not been ruled as the cause of
the crash, but the FAA officials
are still investigating the site of
the crash and the wreckage of
the plane.
The weather was cloudy and
overcast, but it was not raining
or very windy," Woodall said.
Martin has known the couple
since the time he served as
president of the University of
Arkansas' five-campus system.
The last crash at the Auburn-
Opelika Robert G. Pitts Airport
occurred in September 1985
when two people were killed and
five were injured when a Lear jet
and an ultralight plane collided
over the runway.

New treasurer has big plans for SGA, future
By Piper Lowell
Assistant Features Editor w:"atc h out , Donald
Trump. SGA treasurer
Tim Stocksdale doesn't
want to reach your level of suc­cess
In the marketplace. He
says he wants to beat it.
Stocksdale. 03 FI, says he is
glad to be SGA treasurer. It
gives him a chance to serve the
students and a better shot at
Harvard's graduate school of
business.
With that in mind, it could be
tempting for students to conjure
an image of the executive busi­ness
type with a 4.0 grade point
average.
The 4.0 he has, but he shuns
the corporate image, scholar
stereotype, he says. "I'm not an
intellectual. I don't study or
read books, although I probably
should. I just cram well."
Still toying with his nameplate
and new file drawers in his
office the way a child does a
new prize, Stocksdale says he
likes his office and position but
does not consider his Job as one
of authority.
"The treasurer doesn't have
that much power," Stocksdale
says. "Scott (Turnquist. SGA
president), Terry (McCarthy,
administrative vice president)
and Scott (Ayers, vice president)
have the power and the people
to get things done."
For a smoother running office,
Stocksdale has added two more
assistant treasurers to his staff,
making a total of four.
One of the new assistant trea­surers
is in charge of line-item
budgets from the eight organi­zations
that receive student
funding fWEGL, Tiger Cub, The
Circle, student recreation, per­forming
arts. UPC and the
SGA).
Only three of the eight groups
have business managers
responsible to the SGA, and
only the SGA turns In a line-item
budget. Stocksdale says he
wants to change that by requir­ing
business managers for the
groups and specific budgets for
the student senate.
He also wants to increase stu­dent
awareness of budget flow,
which is Stocksdale's priority
change for the office. New line-item
budgets will be printed
every quarter in The Plainsman,
according to the Stocksdale
plan.
Time and paper work is
another kink In the treasurer's
office, according to Stocksdale.
Getting funds appropriated for
any group requires five different
signatures on request forms.
Stocksdale sees each request
three times.
The final product Is a wad of
paper, four forms thick. The
procedure is the same for a
$5,000 computer or a $2.25 late
fee.
The paper mountain could
look troublesome, but Turn­quist
says Stocksdale Is reliable
enough that he never has to

Students use car wrecks, crying fits to escape parking, speeding tickets
By Juleigh Sewell
Staff Writer
A s Auburn legend goes, a
young man was driving
his new Corvette to see
some friends. He saw the blue
lights in his rearview mirror and
noticed he was going more than
100 mph.
When the officer stopped him,
he ran back to the police car.
He told the policeman he had to
get to the airport to propose to
his girlfriend. If she left, he told
the officer, he would never see
her again.
The officer said. "Haul ass,

as quick-thinking as this young
man, but many people discover
they can lie quickly If necessary.
For example, an Opelika
patrolman (who didn't want his
name printed to avoid publicity)
said he pulled over a woman
who was doing more than 80
mph. She told the officer she
was in a hurry to get home
because she had to turn off her
oven. The patrolman said
according to her license, "she
lived on the other side of Geor­gia."
Another story told In the Ope­lika
police station Is about a
drunk driver. The patrolman
said he pulled over a man who
was so drunk he fell out of the
car when he opened the door.
"I had to drive," he told the
officer, "I was too drunk to
walk."
Once, he stopped a car after
chasing it at high speeds for
about 15 miles, the patrolman
said. "I had on the blue lights,
the siren and I was flashing my
lights," the patrolman said.
When he approached the car,
the driver asked, 'Were you try­ing
to stop me?"

recent SGA presidential candi­date,
found that sometimes a
"gift" can get you out of trouble.
Hasten said a University police­man
pulled him over going
about 20 mph over the speed
limit.
The officer asked Hasten why
he was speeding. Haston told
the officer he was running for
SGA president. He said he was
speeding because he had just
picked up his campaign T-shirts
and was busy looking at them.
Haston. claims the officer then
asked to see "the T-shirt. The
officer asked Haston if there
were any extra shirts. When he
told the officer that he was
holding the extra one, Haston
said the officer wished him luck
and told him to slow down as he
walked back to his car with the
shirt.
A sophomore from Birming­ham
said she was pulled over
on the way home for Christmas.
By the time the officer got to the
car she was crying. She told
him that she was hurrying to
get to Hardee's to use the bath­room
and get some caffeine to
wake her up.
She said she tried to play on
the officer's sympathy by telling
him what a bad day It had been.
She told him she had been up
all night studying for an exam,
and she failed the exam.
Because she was so tired, she
managed to get lost and had to
stop another state trooper to
find where she was, she said.
The officer agreed to follow
her to Hardee's and wait for her.
When she came out. he gave her
a warning and told her to calm
down before driving again, she

Some students will be in
Auburn this summer
taking classes. It will
allow them to get ahead in their
studies, or just catch up.
However, there are other
alternatives to school in Au­burn
- like living in Oxford,
England, and receiving school
credit.
"Alabama at Oxford" allows
students to experience life in
another country. During the two
months, students take two
classes and get six semester
hours credit (nine quarter hours
credit). Joseph A. Klcklighter. a
history professor at Auburn,
explained that the classes are
an inducement to go.
"It is a tour; it is a trip, bal­anced
between classes," he said.
'There is not too much study­ing."
The courses apply to the stu­dent's
credit hours like a pass
or fail class, so the student's
grade point average isn't affect­ed,
Klcklighter said. Since the
program Is sponsored through
the University of Alabama, the
registrar's office transfers the
student's credits from Alabama
as though the student attended
summer school there.
"Alabama at Oxford" costs
$2,950. which includes six
hours of tuition, meals and a
private room at Wadham Col­lege.
The fees also cover after­noon
field trips to Shake­speare's
birthplace, Stonehenge,
the Memorial Theatre in Strat­ford-
upon-Avon and other
places.
Pamela Davis, 04 IB, went to
France last summer with
"Auburn Abroad," a program
offered through the French
department. She and her room­mate
Kathy Goodwin, 04 IB,
were able to take classes and
improve their French.
Davis said she realized learn­ing
the language is trial and
error. She was eating dinner
with her French family, and
they kept feeding her, so she
would say "J'ai plein," (I am full)
as they heaped more food on
her plate. Later, Davis said she
discovered the French term was
slang for "I'm pregnant."
The hardest adjustment for
Davis was finding something to
drink. Tons of wines and min­eral
water - the carbonated
kind," are served, but she said
she did not like these.
"It's the biggest extravagance
to get a Coke. They are so
expensive," she said.
The School of Architecture
and the consumer affairs
department also offer programs
in foreign studies. Through the
consumer affairs department,
students tour Europe for 18
days. For eight hours credit, the
undergraduate student can visit
Rome, Milan, Venice, London
and Paris.
"It is one of the best-known
programs In the country," said

affairs department. Most of the

Buying contraceptives brings blushes

Amiddle-aged man saun­ters
into the pharmacy.
He asks the pharmacist
for spark plug covers.
No, he's not In the wrong
store. He wants to purchase
condoms.
"I have seen a lot during my
10 years here." said Sherwood
Thomas, a pharmacist at a local
drugstore. The spark plug Inci­dent
is just one that he will
never forget, he said.
A lot of fraternity and sorority
pranks involve purchasing con­doms,
he said. The boys will
often be dressed up and head
straight for the contraceptive
section. The girls are more
embarrassed. They tend to form
a cluster and giggle, Thomas
said.
Thomas said he can tell some­times
that a customer is looking
for the contraceptives, but when
he offers assistance they say,
"No, I'm just looking."
"I sometimes say 'they're over
there,' " he said. "I would rather
people feel comfortable buying
condoms. I look at contracep­tives
as Just another piece of
merchandise. We don't snicker
or make judgments."
Thomas recalled a time when
two guys selected a package of
three condoms that cost 80
cents. They only had 70 cents
between them. Thomas gave
them a dime.
"I feel it is part of my job to
make the customer feel comfort­able."
he said. "I also feel It is
part of my job to inform first-time
birth control users about a
few things regarding their pre­scription.
I feel this is important
even if the customer gets a little
embarrassed."
Birth control pills are the
most popular contraceptive, he
said. Condoms rank second.

Sharon Pendergrass, a phar­macist
in Florida, said, "Since
the 'Safe Sex' campaign, a lot
more girls are buying condoms.
The packaging is now directed
at women as well as men.
"Guys get a lot more embar­rassed.
They get even more
uncomfortable when I step up
from behind the counter, and
they realize I'm pregnant.
"I will sell contraceptives to
anyone regardless of their age.
They will fool around anyway,
and I'd rather they use protec­tion."
.
Some people use shoplifting
as an alternative to the embar­rassment.
"It's not a big problem, but I
do find opened packages occa­sionally,"
Thomas said.
Jimmy Hall. 01 PB. said, "I'd
rather be a little embarrassed
than steal.
"I will usually buy cigarettes
or something, so the condom
isn't my only purchase. I buy
them at a drugstore, but not at
Wal-Mart or anywhere as big as
that.
"I would rather be waited on
by a male, but a young female
wouldn't faze me. I'd wait in a
longer line, though, rather than
be waited on by a middle-aged
woman. I'd feel like I was buying
a condom from my mom."
"The retailer shouldn't judge
you or make you feel uncom­fortable;
they should pat you on
the back for being responsible,"
Hall said. "I don't think other
people's morals should get in

EMS
By David King
Staff Writer
Plans to consolidate rescue
services in Auburn have placed
paramedics and city officials on
opposite sides.
City manager Doug Watson
and the East Alabama Medical
Center (EAMC) have proposed a
plan to eliminate Auburn's
paramedics, or Emergency Med­ical
Service (EMS), and replace
it with EAMC's Emergency
Transport Service (ETS).
"I proposed the idea to EAMC,
and they liked it," Watson said.
"They feel it will improve ser­vices
and be cost effective."
Auburn's paramedics were
only recently consulted about
the plan, Watson said.
All nine paramedics who work
for the Auburn Fire Department
are against the proposal, and
they still have many unan­swered
questions, according to
Auburn paramedics Bob Gam­ble
and Johnny Lawrence.
'We are all against the plan,"
Gamble said. "We don't feel it'll
be the same quality care."
The plan will require Auburn
to supply a building and
$219,000 a year to EAMC. In
return, EAMC will keep two of
its five ambulances in Auburn
permanently, Watson said.
'We're spending $316,000 for
the EMS in the city, plus we
give $36,000 a year to the hos­pital
for a total of $352,000," he
said. 'The hospital has given us
a set figure of $219,000, so
E-Board proposes new election rules
By Kriste Goad
Staff Writer
The newly elected Elections
Board met for the first time
Monday night to vote on pro­posed
dates for next fall's home­coming
election and to review
new rules for elections.
Elections are tentatively sche­duled
to be held Oct. 28,
according to Director of Elec­tions
Jennifer Huddleston, 03
MH. The board proposed to
eliminate the painting of cars,
store windows and chalkboards,
which was already eliminated in
spring elections.
"There have been problems in
the past where someone would
go out and start painting some­one
else's car without permis­sion,"
Huddleston said. "It's just
unnecessary added expenses to
campaigns."
The SGA Senate will vote on
E-Board proposals Monday
night, Huddleston said.
The Senate previously ap­proved
two bills May 15 recom­mended
by the E-Board and
drawn up by the Code of Laws.
New rules state if a member of
the E-Board is disbarred or
resigns, the alternate will not
assume this position because
the Senate will elect a new
member to fill this position,
Huddleston said. Old law stated
the E-Board alternate would
automatically fill a position if
someone was disbarred.

No E-Board member can run
for an elected position until one
year after serving on the board,
according to the new rules.
Prior to the new rule, nothing
stated eligibility except that a
person on E-Board could not
run for an office," Huddleston
said. "If a member wanted to
run, he or she would resign
prior to elections."
Tripp Haston, secretary of
political affairs, said the E-Board
previously did not know
what to do if someone resigned
from an E-Board position to run
for office. "This new rule will
take the problem away," he
said.
The new rule is designed to
keep people who have had a
direct hand in making the rules
from using it to his or her bene­fit
during elections, Huddleston
said.
"I think E-Board is going to
work real well," Haston said.
"I'm really satisfied with every­one
and with everyone's experi­ence."
SGA Vice President Scott
Ayers said, "I think we'll work
well as a team. Four of us have
run campaigns, and Jennifer
Huddleston was a campaign
manager."
All seven members of the
board are affiliated with some
Greek organization. Haston said
one of the goals of the board is
to appoint an independent sec­retary
in order to receive input
from both groups.
that's a savings of $133,000 a
year."
There were two other reasons
for the change, Watson said.
"First it would be more efficient.
Right now we're duplicating ser­vices.
The second factor is we
can reduce our response time
by having ambulances already
in Auburn," he said.
Lucy Pennington, public rela­tions
director for EAMC, said
she agrees with Watson.
"The big difference is we
transport, and Auburn's EMS
doesn't," she said. "We think
an ambulance in
will reduce our
response time to three or four
minutes to anywhere in
Auburn.
'We've been talking off and on
for two years. Our director of
having
Auburn
the plan along with other people
in the hospital administration."
Both EAMC and Auburn have
comparable capabilities. The
major difference is EAMC does
not have the extraction equip­ment
needed in a rescue situa­tion,
while Auburn cannot
transport patients. Gamble said.
'We have three paramedics on
duty at all times. We run a res­cue
truck out of the station," he
said. "We have full advanced
life-support facilities."
Pennington said that EAMC
will have the same equipment
and training. Calls requiring
rescue only comprise about 5
percent of its total calls, which
eliminates quality of care as an
issue, she said.

Joseph T. Touchton, a faculty

appointed head of the depart­ment

Touchton's appointment is
effective June 1. He will replace

department.

-Joseph
Touchton
'Touchton is well qualified for
this position because his back­ground
in research and teach­ing
is excellent," said James
Marion, dean of the College of
Agriculture. "He not only has a
good national reputation, but
also a good international repu­tation."
Touchton has already made
proposals for changes in the
department, Marion said.
"Touchton wants the depart­ment
to look at more basic pro­cesses
that occur in the produc­tion
of agronomical crops," he
said.
He also wants the department
to increase research of how
crops are affected by land and
soil characteristics, and how
inputs such as water, plant
nutrients and pesticides affect
the environment and crop pro­duction,
Marion said.
Touchton wants to continue
research of the root area of the
plant and how bacteria and
other microbial forms are help­ful
or harmful to crop produc­tion,
Marion said.
Touchton said that the
biggest problem that he will face
in his new position will be keep­ing
the department up-to-date
with the rapidly changing field
of agriculture.
"Fifty years ago, there were
over two million traditional
crops, such as soybean, in
Alabama," Touchton said. "Now
there are only about one-half
million."
Because of the change in agri­culture,
Touchton will encour­age
his department to begin to
turn its attention away from
fading crops such as cotton and
soybeans, he said.
More research in environmen­tal
equality and new technology
for agriculture is expected, he
said. "I hope to help the depart­ment
of agronomy and soils stay
with times or maybe even stay
ahead of the times," Touchton
said.

Extension celebrates its 75th
By Lein Shory
Staff Writer
After 75 years of helping to
bring higher education to all
segments of society, the Cooper­ative
Extension System cele­brated
its anniversary last
week, with Auburn leading the
celebration in Alabama.
"Cooperative Extension is a
statewide educational network
that is expanding the resources
of the University to all the citi­zens
of the state," said Ralph
Foster, project associate for the
vice president of extension.
The Cooperative Extension
System was created by the
Smith-Lever Act of 1914, Foster
said, and was designed to
extend the resources of land-grant
colleges to people
throughout the state.
Branches of the Extension
System are located in every
county in Alabama, with the
headquarters located in Au­burn.
Auburn commemorated the
75th anniversary of the Alaba­ma
Cooperative Education Sys­tem
(ACES) with several activi­ties,
including a speech by Pres­ident
James E. Martin at a lun­cheon
in the Conference Center,
as well as a reunion of about
200 retired ACES employees, an
Extension System official said.
"The different areas of Auburn
University's extension mission
are working together," the offi­cial
said. 'The system has its
own personnel, but a lot of
these people hold tenure posi­tions
in the University as well."
Extension is onnected with
Auburn, but not exclusively a
department of the University,
Foster said.
"A lot of the people on the
county level, the support staff
and county agents and special­ists
are considered employees of
ACES." Foster said. The people
who work with the extension
system in the different colleges
on campus are faculty members
of Auburn University."

A-6 QlfieSuburn Plainsman Thursday, May 25,1989:
Chinese students voice political opinions
By Amy Lay fie Id
Staff Writer
Two days after an Initial inter­view
with three of Auburn Uni­versity's
35 graduate students
from the Republic of China, the
oldest of the students requested
her name not be used.
"Please, I just want to get my
education. I don't get involved in
politics. 1 have already suffered
so much," she said, referring to
her experiences following the
cultural revolution of 20 years
ago.
She was being particularly
cautious because she's here at
the pleasure of the Chinese gov­ernment
which pays for the
majority of her education.
Jin Tian, 09 AHE, spoke more
freely. "If you Just say what
you feel, I think that's OK, if
what you say is based on reason
and if you aren't lying. I'm just
trying to be fair," he said.
One of the primary demands
of the Chinese students, and
others who have joined the mas­sive
protest demonstrations in
China, has been for freedom of
the press.
In the first few weeks of the
demonstrations, j o u r n a l i s ts
were another largely represent­ed
group following the govern­ment's
firing of the editor of the
World Economic Herald.
"The students want more free­dom
of the press which, I think,
will help monitor the govern­ment,"
Jin said. He said he has
been worried about the situa­tion
at home since he learned of
a protest in his home town of
Chang sha. During the protest,
"scoundrels" were burning cars
and robbing stores, he said.
"I've lived there for 28 years
and never have I heard of any­one
robbing stores in public," he
said, adding that the looters
were not students. Students are
disgusted by the corruption of
"caders," the government offi­cials
who have taken advantage
of recent efforts at economic
reform, he said."
The caders have made big
money at economic reform.
They can get possession of valu­able
materials and sell them
illegally and have made big
money doing this," he said.
These economic reforms have
made improvements in China's
standard of living during the
past 10 years, Jin said, "But the
people are never satisfied. They
have begun to consider democ­racy
and are making money, so
now they will want more than
money."
Popular among many of the
young Chinese are Soviet Presi­dent
Mikhael Gorbachev and
Glasnost, he said. "Gorbachev is
really trying to make a better
society in the Soviet Union. He's
doing what most communist
leaders around the world are
trying to do, and that is reform
economically and politically. I
think Gorbachev has gone
much further than China, in
political reform especially," Jin
said.
"At least Gorbachev allows
more freedom and democracy in
what can be said, and in wh^t
he says. I don't know how much
(democracy) is really exercised.
Who knows?" he said. Analysts
have agreed that while Gor­bachev
has given more "lip ser­vice"
to the need for political
reform and has made some
improvements in this area, the
Chinese government has been
more successful in the area of
economic reform, he said.
Another student wishing to
remain anonymous said he feels
that economic discontent played
a big role in stirring the pro­testers.
"The Chinese government did
not fulfill its goal for the econo­my.
The economic situation is
not as perfect as the govern­ment
indicated," he said.

Troops may be sent to combat Panama violence
By Emily Riggins
Staff Writer
The United States may send
more troops to Panama if vio­lence
continues between opposi­tion
parties and Gen. Manuel
Noriega's forces, said Thomas
Dickson, political science pro­fessor.
"Right now everything is at a
stalemate," he said. "But Presi­dent
(George) Bush may possi­bly
send more down there if vio­lence
increases."
Bush sent about 1,800 sol­diers
to Panama last week to
protect American civilians and
the Panama Canal. The troops
were sent to Panama as a ploy
to keep Noriega's forces off
guard, Dickson said.
There were 10,000 soldiers
already in Panama before the
additional soldiers were sent, he
said.
U.S. concern began after an
indictment was returned
against Noriega In Florida for an
alleged drug offense. "As rela­tions
between us and Noriega
got bad, we started taking inter­est
in the recent elections,"
Dickson said.
Noriega annulled results of
the May 7 presidential election
although opposing parties are
believed to have won, Dickson
said.
Opposition parties held riots
and demonstrations after Norie­ga
threw out the results.
"Goons with iron pipes, who
were hired by Noriega, beat up
the opposition," Dickson said.
"Panama's National Guard, an
organization which Noriega con­trols,
ignored the goons coming
in and beating up the opposi­tion
candidates."
U.S. troops will stay in Pana­ma
until the problem is resolved

and the number of riots
decrease, Dickson said.
A U.S. invasion is not likely
because it would endanger
American lives. "If we were to
decide to invade Panama, one of
the outcomes could be a loss of
American lives and a hostage
crisis. It could involve thou­sands
of people," he said.
David Stone, 02 CJL, lived in
the Panama Canal Zone for 18
years and said he agrees that
Noriega is using violence to pro­tect
his power. 'You can sit on
our patio and hear gunshots
from Panama City," Stone said.
Many of Stone's friends at
home are Panamanian and said
they want free elections and are
opposing control by Noriega,
Stone said.
"These folks have lived next to
Americans since 1904, and they
have seen the kind of lives U.S.
citizens have," he said.
'The reason they can't throw
him out is because Noriega con­trols
the military, and whenever
there is an uprising, Noriega
sends in troops, and they liter­ally
shoot people," he said.
The Panamanian police are
armed with plexiglass shields,
tear gas and rubber hoses, but
the opposition usually does not
use weapons, Stone said. 'They
rely a lot on public demonstra-

tions and speeches. The most
they do is throw rocks at the I
soldiers," he said.
The Organization of American i
States (OAS) voted May 17 to |
condemn Noriega. The OAS
includes the United States and
several Latin American and
Caribbean countries.
The OAS should continue to«!
resolve the problems, Dickson-;
said. "We don't have a lot of
options," he said.

Cathy Priester, 01 PB, aims for her shot as Brent Minder, 03 EE, Jim Locke, 04 GEC, and Peter
VanStaagen, 06 PS look on. Croquet is played every nice afternoon on Pebble Hill at about 6 for
anyone interested in playing or learning how to play.
Foreign
continued from A-3
students in this program are
fashion merchandising majors,
but students in business, com­munications
and other majors
have taken the trip and received
credit, Barry said.
The greatest benefit of the
program is the self-confidence
the students gain, Barry said.
They learn to deal with four or
five currencies, travel around a
strange country and get to know
peers from another culture.
"They become aware that the
U.S. isn't the center of the
world. It's a global society," she
said.
The faculties stress politeness
on the trips. If you remember
you are a guest and treat your
hosts nicely, they will do the
same for you, Barry said.
Don't make a fool of yourself,
Kicklighter said. It is important
to remember you are a visitor.
He reminds the students not to
ask, "What's that in real
money?" when trying to figure
the price in American dollars.
Davis also said that politeness
should come first. She said she
remembers that while staying
with a French family, one of the
girls had strong body odor. As
they left to play tennis one day,
her mother gave them some
money to buy bread at the bak­ery.
The girl bought a huge piece
of bread with a hole in the mid­dle,
like a doughnut, Davis said.
She put her arm in the hole and
carried it under her armpit

When they got to the
courts, she said, the girl put it
in the corner.
After they finished playing,
she put it back under her arm,
and they walked home. She
gave it to her mother, and it was
served for dinner.
Although Auburn has more
than 20,000 students enrolled,
only 100 to 200 have ever par­ticipated
in an overseas study,
Barry said. In a school of the
same size in Europe, she said,
80 to 90 percent of the students
would have tried the program.

worry whether a treasury report
will get done.
The new president admires
the way Stocksdale is trying to
add creativity to the cut and dry
job of paper work, he says.
Also on Stocksdale's "fun" list
are wrestling, football and his
scholastic love, history, he says.
"If I were in a major I Just
enjoyed, I'd be in history, but I
don't want to have a history
teacher's salary," he says. "I'm
doing it (studying finance) for
the future."
Police

cer thanked him and set out to
find the mythical wreck.
Many people try to get out of
parking tickets, too. Shannon
Freeze. 02 AE, a University
parking enforcement patrolman,
said once while he was writing a
parking ticket, a young man
asked him for the time. Freeze
said when he looked at his
watch, "his friend jumped in the
car and took off.
"I like to argue with the peo­ple,"
Freeze said. "If they ask me
to tear up a ticket, I tell them
it's against my policy." It isn't
actually against policy, he said.
An Opelika lieutenant pointed
out that speeding Is a danger­ous
offense. "As light-hearted as
these stories are, it's not as
funny when he (the speeder)
kills a family on the road."

Higher standards
When the Board of Stu­dent
Communications
approved a proposal that
raised the minimum quali­fying
GPA and set a mini­mum
GPA during the
tenures of campus media
leaders, eyes shifted to the
SGA for unilateral adoption
of the standard.
When the Student Senate
approved a bill unanimous­ly
Monday night that
would, upon passage of a
referendum in the fall,
require the same standards
for students seeking SGA
office, all eyes shifted to the
students.
The referendum, if
passed during the home­coming
vote this fall, will
raise the qualifying GPA
from a 2.0 to 2.25 and will
require elected officers to
maintain a 2.0 during their
tenures.
It is good to see the
SGA following the Comra
Board's lead of supporting
the highest academic stan­dards
for campus leaders.
It is good to see
the SGA follow­ing
the Comm
Board's lead of
supporting the
highest academ­ic
standards for
campus leaders.
But our student leaders
have only set the pace; now
it is up to the students. For
the referendum to pass, 25
percent of the student body
must vote with a two-thirds
majority In favor of it.
We fully understand and
support the desire to par­ticipate
in extra-curricular
activities such as the SGA
and the various media
positions, and the referen­dum
is a step in the right
direction supporting aca­demic
achievement.
More on parking
The designation of seven
reserved parking spaces
behind Samford Hall for
certain administrative, staff
and state employees has
upset some folks, specifi­cally
those who sit on the
Parking and Traffic Com­mittee.
The administration, for
whom the committee works
in an advisory capacity,
bypassed the committee to
make the decision despite a
resolution passed by the
committee last year that
prohibits reserved spaces
for anyone below a vice
presidential position.
One member of the com­mittee
has said that the
administration has put the
committee in an uncom­fortable
position, and it's
easy to understand how.
The administration's
action is an abuse of its
authority and implies a
lack of trust for the com­mittee's
judgment. It also
leaves us wondering why
the University has desig­nated
a committee the
administration has no
intention of using.
If the administration
insists on establishing even
one rule for its own benefit
without consulting the
committee, perhaps it
should consider handling
all of the committee's
responsibilities.
Bypassing that body is a
slap in the face to the com­mittee
and the system on
which the University has
chosen to rely.
Glom 'difference'
Last year's "Question of
Excellence" was answered
this week when the 1989
Glomerata was distributed
to Auburn students.
Using the theme, "The
Auburn Difference," this
year's staff put together a
yearbook exceptional in
look and content.
The Glomerata gained
national recognition with
the 1988 yearbook, but
what it didn't win was stu­dents'
praise.
Granted, the students of
Auburn aren't the easiest
to please, especially when
their own student activity
fees are funding a project.
But with the exception of a
few minor errors, there is
little to criticize in this
year's book.
If the staffs goal was to
produce a yearbook by the
students for the students,
it was a s u c c e s s . Their
hard work made all the dif­ference.
Opinion
Education producing illiterates
The two University workers
looked perplexed as they stared
at the soft drink fountain.
"How do you know which is
sweet?" one quietly asked,
referring to the iced tea in front
of them. "I don't know," the
other replied sheepishly. "I just
usually taste them."
I witnessed the unfortunate
scene in War Eagle cafeteria as
the men tried to overcome one
of many obstacles that illiter­ates
face each day. It's a sad
commentary on the state of our
nation.
A problem exists in our own
backyard when employees of an
institution of higher learning
can't read. It is particularly
ironic that there is no program
to teach them to read.
Last week. Dexter Manley,
defensive end for the Washing­ton
Redskins, told a Senate
committee how he graduated
David
Sharp
from high school and ultimately
attended Oklahoma State Uni­versity
without learning how to
read and write.
His story was emotional as he
told the Senate Education Com­mittee
how he finally enrolled in
classes three years ago. "I had
to humble myself," the 30-year-old
said. "... Today, I can read
and write. I have some self-respect."
Manley is a success story
because he sought help and
learned to read. But his gradua­tion
from high school and
entrance to college is also
indicative of the failure of edu­cation
in the United States.
More than 60 million adults
in the United States cannot
read; unfortunately, most of
them will not have the courage
of Manley to overcome them.
While most everyone recog­nizes
a problem, solutions are
not so easy to come by -
although the solution should be
simple.
Here in Alabama, we pay our
teachers among the least in the
nation. We also pay less for edu­cational
facilities (just look at
the dilapidated buildings
around campus.)
The emphasis is instead on
keeping property taxes among
the lowest in the nation so we
can attract mills and hard
industry - the only kind of
industry which will locate in
such a poorly educated state.
Meanwhile, state and local
officials adopt the three staple
taxes of a backward state -
cigarettes, booze and gasoline.
These trifling taxes don't tax the
people that should be paying *
the price - landowners. Theyre
the ones who have money in the
first place.
Alabama could double its
property taxes and still be
among the lowest in the nation.
I would rather brag about
having good schools than com­pete
with Mississippi for the;
lowest property taxes. But edu­cation
just doesn't seem to be a
priority in our state.
Until the day our state's
politicians wake up, those two
University workers and others'
like them across our state and •
nation won't have the chance
that Manley had.

Senior offers tips to beat system
The golden moment is almost
here.
That time when I can leave
Auburn only to return to foot­ball
games as an alumnus. And
like most graduating seniors, I
don't want to depart without
putting my mark on the cam­pus.
Since I have no desire to
trench the President's lawn or
roll the stadium, I have decided
to leave a list of my four years of
observations for the students I
leave behind. Let's call them
Beckys Helpful Hints.
First of all, Food Services'
ridiculous mark-up prices won't
take the lining out of the wallet
of^a person, who knows.a few
For instance, the bacon in a
bacon cheeseburger Is not nec­essarily
noticed when covered
with just the right amount of
lettuce and tomatoes. After all,
if the cashier doesn't see the
bacon it's certainly not the cus-

Jeffers
tomer's fault, now is it?
Ordering an item from the
War Eagle grill at noon can
mean standing in a long line,
but refreshments sure make the
wait more bearable. In fact, one
can drink nearly half a medium-size
glass of tea during this
wait, so don't forget to fill back
up on the way to the register.
Since many students who eat
in campus cafeterias also live in
University housing, I come to
the second observation.
One should never live with an
inadequate supply of toilet
paper. Dorm 6 residents at least
can always get the extra paper
they need with the simple turn
of a Phillips screwdriver in the
lock on the second floor supply
closet.
A third point: Parking on
campus and driving to classes
always means a potential
headache. This is an Important
time to remember the price of a
University ticket doubles with
each citation until the magic
number four is reached and all
remaining fines are $25.
My suggestion is to park Ille­gally
along a city street, such as
Cox or Toomer's streets, where
the fine is always $5 no matter
how many tickets one has col­lected.
Concerning the matter of driv­ing
to class, the quickest route
is always Glenn Avenue, no
matter where one lives. One can
cruise quickly along this newly
paved road, dodging pedestrians
of course, because most Glenn
Avenue residents walk to class,
leaving their cars at home and
out of your way.
One can make a quick left to *
look for one of those yellow city
curbs or can continue to Don­ahue
Drive and turn left In front •.
of all those North Donahue resi­dents
also driving into campus/--:
Finally, students waiting to «
ride the Haley elevators should"
never pay attention to the direc-^
tion the elevator says it is trav-v
eling. If an elevator arrives, just „•
hop in and ride because what
goes up does not necessarily
come down in Haley Center..'
When one wants to get to the *
1st floor, he may have to travel
by way of 9th.
Following these guidelines has *
been useful for me. After all, I
get to campus on time, always
have a few extra cents in myv
pocket and have collected'
enough toilet paper to roll-.

Home sweet home not too bad
In two weeks I'm going home.
Home, you remember, is the
place that we're striving so des­perately
to escape from, and I'm
actually looking forward to liv­ing
there again. There are
things about home that you just
can't appreciate until you're
gone for a while.
Don't get me wrong. Home is
supposedly where the heart is,
and my heart has definitely
been here for the past four
years. I haven't exactly been
pining away for the parental
units, but let's face it - hot
meals and clean sheets can look
good after one too many Lean
Cuisines and afternoons at the
laundromat.
At home I can just toss that
pair of socks into the hamper
with reckless abandon after
they've been worn only once. I
Dana
Roberts
can eat a meal without writing a
check for it, and oh, most glori­ous
of luxuries, I don't pay the
phone bill.
And sharing a bathroom with
three other girls can make you
realize real quick that maybe
even baby brother isn't so bad.
After all, he takes fast showers
and never leaves his fine wash-ables
in the sink overnight so I
can't brush my teeth in the
morning.
I guess in a way IVe come full
circle back to caring about the
things I used to take for
granted. If someone had told me
when I was 16 that it would one
day be my responsibility to
clean up the mold growing in
the orange juice pitcher and the
mutant life forms in the
microwave, I would have scoffed
at the very idea that I would
have to deal with such things.
But I do. I have to deal with a
toilet that overflows, cable that
works only when there's nothing
good on and a perpetual short­age
of light bulbs and toilet
paper.
I know these things are the
harsh realities of the "real
world," and college has Just
taught me to appreciate the
sweet haven home is, if only a
temporary one.
I think the biggest lesson col­lege
has taught me, though, is
to appreciate my parents. Some- ,
how. the farther away I've got- «
ten in miles, the more my
respect for them has grown. .
And what I've learned Is this: .
Even though you may hate 1%$
your parents are right 99 per-^
cent of the time. . <
At least mine are. ,
Somewhere along the way, my
mother became my best friend,
and my father's wisdom and
advice became priceless. And so. *
I thank them, not only for pro­viding
a place where I don't
have to worry about cutting my ,
feet on beer tabs buried in the
carpet and where there's always
a place to park, but for provid­ing
me a home. ..«>.
One that I'm eager to get back'
to.

No time for graduation
No time to say hello. Good­bye.
Oh my ears and whiskers,
»how late it's getting
s - The White Rabbit
9, Alice in Wonderland
Yes, I'd love to graduate, but I
don't have the time.
I've got classes and paper­work.
I've got to become a
mature prepared adult in two
.weeks. And I've got a dozen
columns that I want to write.
The Auburn handbook says
„that a journalism degree takes
four years, but I would vow that
I've been in college about a
week.
My freshman year flashed by
in a Monday and Tuesday's
werth of time. Adjusting to col­lege
was easy (but I think I
already wrote a column on
that).
• As an organized sophomore, I
spent my Wednesday in college
working on committees and
going to meetings five nights a
lweek.
-This was the peak of maturity.
I ihave since reverted to a
wardrobe of shorts and tennis
shoes, socks included when I
dress up.
Piper

I spent a lovely Thursday as
an exchange student in Scot­land.
It was the year of my life
(and I would love to tell you
about it sometime, but that's
another column).
Friday was a hard down-shift
from Scottish landmarks such
as "I live overlooking the 18th
green of the Royal and Ancient
golf course" (the oldest in the
world) to "Yep, Hudson Arms.
Right across from the new Dairy
Queen."
My wonderful roommate,
J a n e Burton, brought me
through that (I'd love to tell you
more about wonderful Jane, but
that's another column.)
The last term of my senior
year winked at me and is gone.
In the twilight of college, I
realize that it is not the things I
planned to do that I haven't
done that makes me hurry. I
have survived for 22 years with­out
repelling off Haley Center or
serenading a professor at 2 a.m.
after finishing his/her assign­ment.
I will probably continue
in good health without these
things.
It is what I was supposed to
be by now that I am rushing to
become. College is where people
learn to get It all together.
Auburn was my chance to
become poised, professional,
organized, esteemed and edu­cated.
I struck out of those cate­gories
two adjectives ago.
At the time of this issue, I will
have 13 more hours (780 min­utes)
in that architectural mar­vel,
Haley Center, in which to be
educated. I have 15 days to
become everything else.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm
even educated (that's a serious
question with me, but I'd have
to address it in another col­umn.)
I have yet to learn the What-
Everltls that makes a mature
and collected graduate, and
with me that's going to take
time.
So it's not that I don't want to
graduate, but I don't think I can
fit it into my schedule.

$eek help before taking life
Editor, The Plainsman:
»
•On May 18 one of our fellow
students took his life.
* J> arrived at the scene in my
us"ual manner with my. .police*,
scanner and' my cameras in
hand in order to get a photo for
The Opelika-Aubum News. As it
turned out, the coroner's office
needed photos of the body for
its records, and yours truly took
them.
Fellow students, it's that time
f 'the quarter when stress is
_ on every one of us as finals
i e approaching.
J I had never known this person
or anything about him, nor did I
know his rationale for commit­ting
suicide, but I do feel that it
could have been avoided.
What saddens me is knowing
that ibis guy,wasn't alone thaj;.
day. Thei Auburn rescue team
went to an attempted suicide
earlier that day - only this per­son
came out of it alive.
We all need someone to share
our problems with, no matter
how big or how small.
People, there is nothing in
this world worth taking one's
life for - at least not an educa­tion.
Pressure in college (and
life) are sometimes overbearing,
but you should always try to
overcome them.
Lack of communication is the
key element in most suicides.
There is help. Please use it
and try to make an^effort to get
in touch with someone who can
help. If you don't know anyone
to talk to, call the Crisis Center
at 821-8600 and get help. Life
can't be turned back on again -
ever.

cause of death.
sbestos has no 'safe level'
ditor, The Plainsman:
The last issue of The Plains-
Aicm carried two articles con­cerning
the plan of action to
•Jemove asbestos from Haley
Renter. These articles, and in
particular the information on
^hich they drew, strongly indi­cate
a need for further facts and
debate on the subject.
>
| Asbestos is extremely danger­ous.
As a carcinogen, there is
lio "safe levels" of asbestos dust.
The plan to remove the material
over seven years may expose
thousands of students to a dan­ger
they know nothing about.
There has been no informa­tion
distributed on the subject,
no public debate and no partici­pation
in the decision-making
process by the people it will
most directly affect - faculty
members and students.
This is not a decision that can
be taken without wide consulta­tion
and open public debate. It
is much too important for that.
I call on the University to
make public the facts concern­ing
how much asbestos is in
Haley Center - where it is and
how they propose to prevent the
large number of students using
the building over a seven year
period of time from being
exposed to this very dangerous
and easily transported sub­stance.

(French not given a chance
ditor. The Plainsman: I I I
..."'Why Robert French? Why did
you resign as station manager
of WEGL?
After the Communications
Board appointed Mr. French to
the position of station manager,
and after we heard of the pro­posed
format changes, we
became excited about listening
to WEGL for the first time in our
years here at Auburn. We even
talked about setting the fre­quency
of 91.1 into the memory
buttons on our stereos next
,year.
Vinally, Auburn students
would have something to listen
vto other than Top 40, country or
tl?e radical format currently
ayred by WEGL, all three of
which jam local airwaves.
*" ^This excitement over a "new"
WEGL has departed now that
Mr. French has turned in a let­t
e r of resignation. Granted, it
w-Suld not have been easy for
Mr. French to implement his
proposed changes at WEGL
"without the support of the staff
of WEGL, but Mr. French, along
with the WEGL staff, never even
gave it a chance.
From what we know, Mr.
French is more than amply
qualified to manage the station
even though he has never before
been an employee of WEGL.
Why then did Mr. French give in
to the pressure of a select few
and not move forward with his
proposed changes?
As for the staff at WEGL. we
believe that you all looked at the
situation a little too selfishly.
You should realize that changes
of some type need to be made.
Just looking at the attendance
at most WEGL-sponsored
events should reinforce this
point.
We don't believe that the cur­rent
format of WEGL is repre­sentative
of the student body,
due much in part to the views
and desires of the present staff.
So where does that leave us
now?
We must wait on the Comm
Board to choose a new station
manager. Will the new manager
want to change the format to
better represent the student
population, as Mr. French did,
or will he/she leave it like it is,
mostly liberal and radical while
representing a select few.
We have no problem listening
to WEGL for short periods of
time, nor do we have a personal
problem with the WEGL staff or
people who appreciate the pre­sent
format. We would just like
to see something a little more
representative - i.e. mix in clas­sic
rock, a little country, etc.
We would like to commend
the Comm Board on their origi­nal
selection of Bob French as
station manager. Hopefully the
Comm Board can now find
another person who is looking
to better the Auburn atmo­sphere
like their last choice for
station manager.
Or perhaps. Bob French will
withdraw his resignation and
move forward with his proposed
changes.

The week in history
10 years ago, 1979: Betty Hagerty of the Auburn Women's Caucus complained that Lambda
Chi Alpha fraternity's "Miss Watermelon Bust Contest" was demeaning to women. Hagerty urged
the fraternity to re-evaluate the annual contest.
25 years ago, 1964: Ten outstanding men were chosen for Spades, the "highest campus
leadership honorary." 'To wear a Spade is a goal which all underclassmen may seek as The
highest honor an Auburn man may obtain,'" read a story in The Plainsman.

Carlin's language 'no shock'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing in response to a
letter found in the May 18 issue
of The Plainsman. I am held
somewhat in awe of Mr. North-cutt's
reaction to the UPC spon­sored
George Carlin concert.
The fact that Carlin's act
makes use of profanity seemed
to come as quite a shock. Yet,
as I recall, on the posters adver­tising
the event, it was clearly
stated that the material Carlin
used was profane and could
offend those individuals who
simply did not like the use of
profanity.
The use of offensive language
by comedians is not uncommon.
In fact, it is considered to be the
status quo. Comedians such as
Howie Mandell, Robin Williams,
Gallagher and many others
have used profanity simply as a
tool. In the recent HBO event
Comic Relief III, there was more
obscenity than you could
believe, yet their efforts once
again raised a large sum of
money.
The reason behind this is that
the majority of people are
mature enough to deal with the
profanity. For years it has been
the quickest way to get to a
laugh, and based upon my own
attendance, and not a record­ing,
there were plenty of laughs
to go around at that concert.
As to the claim that Carlin's
poor routine used profanity as a
crutch, I have to disagree.
George Carlin has always had a
gift - he is able to look at a per­son's
ordinary everyday life and
Identify the little idiosyncrasies
that none of us even realize we
have.
In addition, in my own opin­ion,
he has a great insight into
human nature, which he
revealed when he was dis­cussing
the meaning behind
various "racist" words.
I stand with a great many oth­ers
when I say that I received
my $4 worth that night. I am
sure that the majority of those
who filled the house that night
feel the same way.
If Mr. Northcutt feels that the
UPC is not meeting the needs of
the students in general, I think
he should remember that it is
impossible to satisfy everyone.
The wide range of events from
UPC free movies to concerts,
and on into the various plays
offered, is their attempt to meet
the needs of the majority, which
I believe they do quite well.
George Chapman, 03 CPE
ASETA heterogeneous group
Editor, The Plainsman:
Dr. Reynolds' letter in last
week's Plainsman illustrates a
common misperception certain
individuals have of animal
defenders groups.
From his letter it seems that
Dr. Reynolds thinks these
groups are composed of a
homogeneous group of individu­als
with the same opinions on
every issue concerning animal
use by humans.
I, too, have been to one of
ASETA's meetings. The fact Is
this organization consists of a
very heterogeneous group of
individuals, each with their own
individual objections about ani­mal
use and abuse.
What they have in common,
however, is the fact that their
objections deal with some
aspect of what they think is
unnecessary use of animal life,
or abuse of animal life, by
humans.
Granted, there are zealots in
any group of individuals,
including among individuals in
groups that sacrifice animal life
or well-being, unnecessarily.
Extreme behavior gets atten­tion.
And it is extreme behavior
of persons who have abused
animal life that has raised the
consciousness of people, to the
point that they have formed
groups on behalf of animal life.
The point is that there is a
problem, and it needs to be
solved.
We can achieve any goal if we
use our intelligence. There are
ways to relinquish our unneces­sary
dependence on animals. It
will require man's will and the
use of man's great brain. It will
also require that greediness be
controlled.

Tree should not be destroyed
Editor. The Plainsman:
How long would it take for an
oak tree to grow large enough
for the trunk to have a circum­ference
of 14 feet? I don't know
either, but I would wager it took
a long, long time for the oak in
front of the Maranatha House to
reach that size.
Now that this house is to be
torn down, I wonder what the
fate of this tree will be. Is it to
fall victim to the growth and
expansion of a University that
may not even have been found­ed
when the acorn from which it
grew fell to the ground?
The policy of Facilities Divi­sion
to plant five trees for every
one that is cut down (which, by
the way, we have yet to see) is
wonderful. But, when it comes
down to a tree of this size, it
seems senseless to destroy it in
order to make one more parking
space.
Since the University is already
paying approximately $2,800
per space for roughly 35 spaces
that will be put in the lot where
the Maranatha House now
stands, would one less space
really make that much differ­ence?

dent leaders have to represent
the students and still maintain
those standards."
The SGA resolution was sup­posed
to be presented at the
meeting last week but was not
typed in time.
The Senate action follows the
decision of the Student Commu­nications
Board to raise mini­mum
GPA for student media
positions to a 2.25 GPA and
minimum 2.0 GPA requirements
throughout tenure at its May 11
meeting.
The Comm Board rule applies
to The Plainsman, Glomerata,
Tiger Cub and The Circle editors
and business managers and the
WEGL station manager.
The Senate is following the
Comm Board's example and
hopes other leadership positions
will follow. Ayers said.
"I think we need to upgrade
the GPA for all elected posi­tions,"
Ayers said.
"We want to maintain that
level of academics that is set by

The biggest problem will be

of the student population to
vote on the referendum fall

than EAMC's. The average
experience of bur staff is 10
years. They wouldn't have that
experience."
If the proposal is passed by
the City Council, the nine
paramedics will have the option
of applying at EAMC for the
nine jobs that will be created by
the substation, or they can
return to regular firefighting
duties, Watson said.
Pennington said, "The para­medics
will have to go through
the same application proce­dures
as anyone else, but they
will get first shot at the jobs."
The proposal should be voted
on in June and has a good
chance of passing, Watson said.
China
continued from A-6
"The students have always
played an important role in Chi­nese
history. They know more
than (people not in the universi­ties).
They're young and not
afraid to express themselves,
and if the people cannot express
themselves, how can the gov­ernment
know what the people
desire?" he said.
Although protestors have
demanded that Premier Li Peng
resign, Jin said he doesn't think
that would improve the situa­tion.
"Li hasn't really achieved a
lot, but he's only been in office
about two years. He needs to
