State lawmakers are ques-

The guidelines under which

These guidelines allow pol­lutes

Alumni say Smith acted individually
• Foundation Board different
from Alumni Association/A-4
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
In a two-hour closed session,
a special committee of the
Auburn University Foundation
Board determined Alumni Asso­ciation
Director Jerry Smith
acted independently when he
accepted $43,000 to co-execute
an alumnus' estate.
The committee, chaired by
Earl "Buddy1' Weaver, concluded
the Foundation was not
involved in the administration of
Lois Huffs $1.9 million estate.
"I wouldn't consider this a
statement of support one way or
the other," Weaver said after the
meetirig. "No action was taken.
It was simply a report of the
committee."
The committee also found the
Foundation was reimbursed for
expenses incurred by Smith as
he served as co-executor,
Weaver said In a letter to Foun­dation
President J. Gilmer
Blackburn.
"The committee could not
establish the exact accuracy of
the amount of reimbursement
but does believe the amount to
be reasonable," the letter said.
For the future, the committee
has recommended creating a
policy prohibiting the Founda­tion
or a staff member from act­ing
as executor in an estate
from which the Foundation
would benefit, Weaver said In a
prepared statement.

Accidents up 18%
with 65 mph limit
By Tim Bain
Staff Writer
Since the adoption of the 65
mph speed limit on rural inter­state
highways in August 1987,
Alabama's overall traffic acci­dents
have increased by 18 per­cent,
according to an Auburn
professor's 12-month study.
Despite the increase in the
number of yearly traffic acci­dents,
it is not necessary to
repeal the 65 mph limit, said
David Brown, acting head of
Auburn's computer science and
engineering department.
The increase in conflicts
between fast- and slow-moving
vehicles causes the increase in
the number of accidents, he
said.
"The ideal situation is if every­one
drove at 65 mph on the
rural interstates, it would be
like standing still, vehicles
would not come into conflict,"
Brown said.
The problem is that half of the
drivers on the 65 mph inter­states
are exceeding the speed
limit, Brown said. If these
drivers encounter a truck trav­eling
about 45 mph up a hill, or
a car traveling at that speed,
there is going to be a conflict.
"It's like hitting a wall," he said.
'You can't fault the ones who
are traveling slower, you have to
fault the ones traveling faster."
Since there Is not enough
If a person wishes to execute
such an estate as an individual,
the committee determined,
Foundation members as well as
all University staff should
obtain permission from the
Foundation, according to the
statement.
The committee was simply
asked to review five items. 'We
had a very narrow charge. We
looked at the five specific items
the president (Blackburn) asked
us to look into, and that's all we
did," Weaver said.
The committee determined
items missing from the Huff
estate may have been taken by
relatives after Huffs death, the

Enrollment sets record
Student population grows for 12 straight quarters

Spring enrollment marked the
12th straight quarter for record
enrollment, Registrar Tom Stall-worth
said. Enrollment of
15,539 was an increase of 4.4
t ercent from last quarter.
"It's merely a continuation
from fall quarter," he said. Fall
quarter enrollment was 20,553.
"Pedple don't usually think
about it, but the economy can
contribute to enrollment,/' Stall-worth
said. "A stable and grow­ing
economy does make a differ­ence
because more people can
afford college."
The College of Liberal Arts has
the largest combined graduate

graduate and undergraduate
enrollments include: Business,

U.S. citizens should be able to
vote on laws concerning ethical
or moral decisions, including
the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Decision
that legalized abortion, said
Theodore L. Becker, head of the
political science department.
The Supreme Court heard
arguments Wednesday that
could lead to a re-examination
of its landmark 1973 decision.
"I don't think we should leave
such important issues up to
nine lawyers," said Becker, who
has written eight books about
American government and the
politics of the legal system.
Moral issues should be voted
on by the public because the
Supreme Court justices are not
trained to make ethical or moral
decisions, Becker said.
The court should decide on
issues concerning the Bill of
Rights or the competing powers
of the judicial branches, he
said.
"The Supreme Court (Justices)
do not base their decisions on
what the Constitution says, but
on their personal views on the
issues," he said.

gained in the Court has influ­enced

Haley remains one of last sources for asbestos
By Paul DeMarco
Assistant News Editor
After Dorms J and K are reno­vated
this summer, Haley Cen­ter
will be the last major source
of asbestos on campus.
The University Is removing
the carcinogenic mineral from
buildings around campus and
has estimated that it may not be
until the year 2000 before all of
the asbestos is removed.
"During all of the sampling on
campus, we have never found a,
a sample that has been danger­ous,"
said Dr. Charles Ray.
director for University Safety &
Environmental Health. "We have
done 60 air samples in the
building, but we have not found
any hazardous samples in Haley
Center."
About 60 percent of the cam­pus
asbestos will be removed by
the end of the summer, leaving
Haley Center with about half of
the remaining asbestos on cam­pus,
said Lloyd P. Albert, super­visor
for asbestos removal from
Auburn. Most structures built
since the 1930s used asbestos,
especially for insulation. During
the '70s, asbestos was discov­ered
to be hazardous and could
cause cancer in humans if
Inhaled.
The University began to
remove asbestos in 1983 after
an Auburn engineering firm
conducted a survey to Identify
the locations on campus where
asbestos had been sprayed onto
ceilings or was exposed.
"The survey does have Incon­sistencies,"
said Stanley Drake ,
assistant vice president for facil­ities.
"Sometimes a building will
be identified, and then the sur­vey
will not show asbestos, but
then there will be asbestos."
The asbestos is also being
removed from buildings when
they are renovated or if they are
being torn down, he said.
The University is spending
$40,000 this week to remove
asbestos from the Maranatha
House before the building is
torn down.
"A plan is being developed to
be reviewed by the administra­tion
for the removal of all
asbestos from Haley Center in
conjunction with the renovation
of the building," Drake said.
This summer, projects to
remove asbestos Include the
Auburn University Airport, the
Animal-Science Building and
Dunstan and Comer Halls.
The removal of the asbestos
is funded by the asbestos
removal account. This fiscal
year about $507,000 has been
spent taking the asbestos off
campus.
"There are no federal regula­tions
to remove asbestos from
colleges and universities, just
grades K-12," Ray said. "We
would just like to remove the
possibility of disturbing the
material."
Most of the asbestos removed
by the facilities division is done

Unknown man donates gas money
Birmingham gas customers were surprised Monday afternoon
when a man they believe to be an oil tycoon began handing them
crisp $5 bills and apologizing for high gas prices.
The man drove up to a Texaco station in a white stretch limou­sine
accompanied by two women dressed as belly dancers, and
distributed money, witnesses said.
As word spread across area radio stations, people hurried to the
site to receive money and to see the belly dancers, but the man

. | Gandhis bring hope,
legacy of peace here
By B. Bryan Bittie
Assistant A&E Editor
A legacy of hope and power
visited Auburn April 20 when
Sunanda and Arun Gandhi,
grandson of the late Mahatma
Mohandas Gandhi, spoke to
approximately 150 people at
St Michael's Catholic Center.
'The power of the people
through nonviolence is virtual­ly
limitless," Arun Gandhi
said. "But the practical appli­cability
of nonviolence should
be more than a strategy for
political power; an attitude
must develop, a conscious­ness.
Only then will nonvio­lence
be used properly."
A former editor and writer,
Gandhi is a visiting scholar at
the University of Mississippi
Center for Southern Culture,
where he is researching his
next book.
Gandhi said he lived with
his grandfather in India for a
year in 1946, when he was 12,
and he learned lessons from
the late Gandhi, the leader of
widespread social and political
< reform.
Gandhi related an incident
which occurred one afternoon
when the elder Gandhi came
to him for his dally hour-long
conversation and study.
Gandhi said he had just
thrown out a pencil three
inches long because he
thought it was too short to use
for the day's lessons, but then
his grandfather told him to go
find the pencil stub since "it
had at least 10 more days of
study in it"
From his year with his
grandfather, Gandhi said he
developed a sense that people,
like the short pencil, should
not be disposable, and it was
his responsibility to retrieve
the outcast from society's
trash heap.
Gandhi has lived more
half his life in South Africa^
the Phoenix Farm, an experi­mental
cooperative center his
grandfather formed, which is
self-supporting.
Since the '60s, Gandhi and
his wife Sunanda have worked
worldwide to give power to the
people through the late Gand­hi's
vision of peaceful change,
Sunanda Gandhi said.
For South Africa, Gandhi
said he sees apartheid and its
injustices ending only through
the concentrated application
of nonviolence to the govern­ment
by the nonwhite majori­ty,
and said that economic
sanctions and other measures
from the international com­munity,
while well-inten­tioned,
are short-sighted and
inevitably circumvented.
"The repression will contin­ue
until Pretoria's people
make nonviolence work for
them," he said.
"They have to understand
the strategies and do some­thing
themselves if they hope
to see a lasting peace."
But the most obvious
impact of the late Gandhi's
work has been in India, where
changes in attitudes are
becoming visible through sig­nificant
reforms, his wife said.
The Gandhis worked with
with five other nonviolence
supporters to bring the first
vestiges of economic, social
and political power to the low­est
caste of Indian society, the
untouchables, who for cen­turies
have not even been con­sidered
by the upper classes
as human, she said.
Gandhi's wife said she visit­ed
untouchable women in
their cities of trash. Three
women were so poor they had
to share one sari, a wrap­around
dress, and could only
go out of their lean-to home
one at a time while the others
waited nearly nude inside.
Mother condemns hazing, not Greeks
By Michael Buttram
Staff Writer
Eileen Stevens was awakened
late one night to learn her son
Chuck was dead as a result of a
fraternity hazing incident
The caller, the Dean of Stu­dents
at Alfred University, told
her Chuck had died of acute
alcohol poisoning after having
too much to drink at a party.
Stevens has since formed the
Committee to Halt Useless Col­lege
Killings (C.H.U.C.K.). as an
anti-hazing rather than an anti-
Greek campaign, she said. She
travels to college campuses to
warn students of the possible
effects of hazing.
"When I think of fraternities
and sororities, I think of honor,
trust and hard work. Hazing
simply does not fit." Stevens
told an audience of several hun­dred
students Monday night at
the Student Act Center.
Stevens' son's death attracted
a great deal of media attention
in the New York area. "The
resulting negative press aroused
people and exposed other inci­dents,"
Stevens said.
She formed C.H.U.C.K. soon
after, beginning with a letter-writing
campaign to national
Greek organizations, universi-
>-»r<>uW-w GANDHI, page A-12
ties and congressmen. She
eventually began to lobby for a
state law against hazing, she
said.
Her efforts in the New York
Legislature seemed to be suc­cessful,
she said. A state bill
against hazing passed by an
overwhelming majority, but was
vetoed by the governor.
"His (the governor's) point was
that hazing should be
addressed by the local organiza­tions,
not by state law," Stevens
said. "The second time the bill
came up, he was about to veto it
again.
"Another hazing death promp­ted
too much public attention,
however, and he allowed the bill
to pass."
Today, similar statutes exist
in 21 states, including Alabama,
Georgia. Tennessee and Florida.
Stevens has spent the last 10
years since her son's death vis­iting
national fraternity conven­tions,
leadership conferences
and Individual chapters.
The goals of C.H.U.C.K. are to
increase awareness of the prob­lem
and to document hazing
incidents In an effort to stop
them.
"In virtually every case I have
seen, three elements have been
present: alcohol, peer pressured
and secrecy," Stevens said.
These three things together
make a dangerous combination,
she said.
'The saddest reason offered
for allowing hazing activities to;
continue in pledge programs is
that 'everyone has done it; now-it's
his turn,' " Stevens said.
Hazing was not a part of most
American fraternities when they
were founded. It had no place
then, and it has no place now,
she said.
Physical hazing is declining
on the national level, but men- i
tal hazing in the forms of mind
games are still common, she

results incite
controversy
By Steve Henderson
Staff writer
— i .
As the earth's population has
expanded, its forests have dis­appeared,
and as Its air has
become polluted, a growing con­cern
has arisen over the
increased heat capacity of the
atmosphere.
"The greenhouse effect is not
controversial," said Dr. Stephen
Schneider Tuesday night in a
York Dlstinquished Lecture.
Schneider is a senior scientist
and head of the Interdisci­plinary
Climate Systems Section
at the National Center for Atmo­spheric
Research.
Observations confirm that
water vapor, carbon dioxide and
methane trap heat in the atmo­sphere,
he said.
However, there is controversy
over whether a small change in
the amount of these gases will
produce a significant change in
global temperature and over
what time period this change
may occur, he said.
The mean global temperature
has increased a fraction of a
degree since 1975 and is pro­jected
to continue rising, he
said.
This warming trend could be
caused by man-made atmo­spheric
conditions or natural
fluctuations in weather, he said.
Because of the complexity of the
earth's weather system, scien­tists
can only make assump­tions
about what will happen,
Schneider said.
Scientific studies show a 10
percent Increase in atmospheric
carbon dioxide over the last 30
years, and a doubling in atmo­spheric
methane levels since the
start of the industrial revolu­tion,
he said.
The majority of the excess
carbon dioxide is caused by the
burning of fossil fuels, he said.
Other contributing factors to
the greenhouse effect are the
depleUon of carbon dioxide ab­sorbing
forests and the produc­tion
of methane by agriculture.
Schneider provided several
forecasts, varying in severity
and partially dependent on
future fuel consumption and
population growth. The least
severe scenario projected a rise
in temperature of 2 degrees Cel­sius
per century, while the most
severe scenario projected a rise
in temperature of 8 degrees Cel­sius
per century.
The last ice age was caused
by a 5 degrees Celsius per cen­tury
change in temperature, he
said.
Those who do not believe in
the relevance of the greenhouse
effect are, by inaction, "flipping
a coin over the future of the
planet" Schneider said. Based
on this disbelief, action should
be taken now to negate this
potential threat, he said.
The governments of the world
can act in several ways to allevi­ate
conditions contributing to
the greenhouse effect, Schnei­der
said. Industrialized naUons
such as the United States
should try to decrease fuel con­sumption
and increase fuel effi­ciency,
he said. Less developed
nations should try to decrease
population and find ways to
prevent deforestation, he said.
In the future, if the green­house
effect is significant, it will
manifest itself not so much as a
steady rise in temperature but
as an increased frequency of hot
and dry weather, he said.

Foundation encourages gifts, grants .
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
The edge of excellence for a
public institution such as
Auburn is private giving,
according to Miller Solomon,
chairman of the University Sen­ate.
Because of the need for pri­vate
support, the Auburn Uni­versity
Foundation; a non-profit
corporation which' is separate
from the Alumni Association,
was created in i960, said
Phillip Guthrie, associate direc­tor
of Alumni and Development
Office.
"The sole purpose of the
Foundation is to develop and
increase the facilities at Auburn
by encouraging gifts, grants and
donations," Guthrie said.
"After the Foundation receives
the gifts, it will invest them for
the furtherance of educational
interests," he said. These funds
are invested in stocks and
bonds by an investment banker.
The Foundation does not con­sist
of permanent employees.
University employees, including
the president, deans and de­partment
heads, solicit gifts and
donations which are then given
to the Foundation, Guthrie said.
"A lot of people are involved in
this process which is coordinat­ed
by the Foundation" he said.
The main thrust of the Foun­dation
has been the generations
fund campaign, which began in
the late 1970s, and Is a compre­hensive
fund-raising effort
designed to encourage dona­tions
by alumni and friends,
Guthrie said.
The Foundation also raises
money through its annual giv­ing
program, he said. During
this program, alumni receive
three mailings a year, encourag­ing
them to donate.
Guthrie could not comment
on the effects James Goodwin's
resignation would have on the
Foundation.
Goodwin, who has donated
approximately $7 million to
Auburn and served on the
Foundation's board of directors.
withdrew further support until
conflict of interest questions
concerning Alumni Association •
Director Jerry Smith are
resolved.
However, Guthrie said, most
people want to be involved in *
Auburn. Last year approximate­ly
22,000 alumni of the approxi­mately
100,000 total alumni •»
made a gift to the University.
'The alumni who donate do
not receive a building named
after them or anything like that. *
They simply receive a warm feel­ing
from being a part of the
future of Auburn," he said.
Most alumni are willing to
donate simply because they
want to contribute to Auburn,
he said.
RHA forms to change dorm life attitude
By Julie Ryan
Staff Writer
On-campus students gained
recognition April 22 during the
first Residence Hall Association
(RHA) Day.
The day gave students an
opportunity to learn about the
new organization, which repre­sents
all resident students.
"We want students to think of
the resident halls as living and
learning centers, not just a
place where you sleep," Becky
Bell, residence life programs
coordinator, said.
RHA will provide residence
hall students with a means for
their own government, along
with an official voice on cam­pus,
Bell said. The organization
is designed to inform current
and prospective students of the
opportunities and advantages of
resident life.
The needs and views of the
student residents will be repre­sented
by RHA, said Dorm 8
President Cindy Tily. These
needs include lighting, safety,
visitation rights, parking and
construction, she said.
"Things are always going on
around campus that affect the
resident student, and RHA is a

Tily said.
RHA has made a few changes
for residence halls, including
renaming the Department of
Housing to the Department of
Housing and Residence Life and
the establishment of an RHA
newsletter called "Community,"
said Noble Hall council repre­sentative
Shawn Buchanan.
The organization is currently
writing a constitution, and
many of the RHA committees
have started petitions ranging
from a renewal of the escort ser­vice
to parking changes, Buch­anan
said.
RHA will create six new com­mittees
in the fall to develop a
wellness model for the student
Tily said. These areas Include
emotional, spiritual, occupa­tional,
intellectual, physical and
social committees.
"When the RHA is fully devel­oped
in the fall, we will be the
second largest organized associ­ation
on campus," Buchanan *
said. "Our ultimate goal is to be
considered equal with SGA and

Spring ticks mean
more lyme disease
• n
By Robert Boyce
Staff Writer

* l r
Li
Although spring Is a great
time to enjoy camping, hiking
and other outdoor activities,
students enjoying the warm
weather should also be aware
that it is the time when ticks
may be infested with Lyme Dis­ease.
Lyme disease is a potentially
debilitating disease that causes
muscle aches, headaches. Joint
pain and other arthritic-type
symptoms. Upon early detec­tion,
it is easily treatable with
certain antibiotics, he said.
'Ticks are quite widespread;
most any place where you have
a good deer population," said
Gary Mullen, entomology pro­fessor.
"That means areas where
there is a lot of hunting, hiking,
recreation and things of that
sort"
Mullen documented the first
case of Lyme Disease in Alaba­ma
in 1986. Since then, 13
additional cases have been
reported in the state. "At this
point in time, six of those have
been associated directly or indi­rectly
with Lee County," Mullen
said.
Mullen is currently conduct­ing
a study to identify the
species of tick that is primarily
responsible for the disease.
It is important to catch the
disease in the early stages, and
the likelihood of infection is
greatly reduced if.the tick is

removed within hours of attach­ment,
Mullen said.
"It's not life-threatening, but it
can be serious under certain
circumstances," he said. "It
causes a bull's eye which looks
like a red halo. When that devel­ops
you can be pretty certain
you've got it"
If you find a tick on your
body, you should remove it
carefully, making sure you get
the head parts, he said.
Alabama not ready to gamble on lottery
By Lein Shory
Staff Writer
» n
f
Thomas Jefferson said a lot­tery
Is the fairest of all taxes
because it is only levied on the
willing. But according to a study
of the probability of passage of
state lotteries, the people of
Alabama are not willing, at least
for now.
Dr. John Jackson, acting
head of the department of eco­nomics,
recently completed a
series of studies on state-run
lotteries that began in 1987 .
Jackson said he found several
factors contributing to adoption
of state lotteries:
• Neighboring states already
having passed state lotteries
increase the chance of passage
in that state. To date, the only
neighboring state that has a lot­tery
is Florida.
• Where the average tax rates
are high, the chance of passing
increases.
• The chances also increase
when lottery adoption Is voted
on by public initiative, rather
than the legislature.
"The major receiver of ear­marked
revenues from lotteries
tends to be public education,"
Jackson said.
The group ran a series of tests
to see if the size of the educa­tion
lobby In the. state also
might affect adoption of lotter­ies.
'We found no correlation there
at all," Jackson said. 'This busi­ness
about earmarking is a
ruse. The primary beneficiaries
of lotteries are the legislators. It
gives them more funds to pass
on to their constituents."
Jackson said earmarking lot­tery
revenue does not necessari­ly
mean more money will be
spent for that particular area of
the budget.
"Florida earmarked lottery
revenue for education," he said.
"But total education spending in
Florida is not up.
"The most important aspect
mitigating against lottery adop­tion
In our model turned out to
be the percentage of Baptists in
a state...It's clear that high per­centages
of Baptists In a state
decrease the probability of
adoption of lotteries, and states
that do adopt tend to do so con­siderably
later than other
states."
Lotteries are effective alterna­tives
to raising revenue, Jack­son
said. 'You can tax the sales
of lottery tickets. You can tax

Ignorance harms, speaker says
By Stephanie Reed
Staff Writer
Becoming disabled Is some­thing
most people don't want to
discuss.
"We just don't like to think
about it," said Mark Johnson,
advocacy specialist with Shep­herd
Spinal Center In Atlanta.
'These days there are more
and more people who are or will
be disabled because people are
living longer, and we are being
exposed to more things that can
cause someone to become dis­abled,"
he said.
Johnson, a quadriplegic for
the past 18 years, spoke to stu­dents
and faculty Monday dur­ing
opening ceremonies of
Handicap Awareness Week.
"When I was young I won­dered
whether I was supposed
to get help from friends like let­ting
them bring me things or
carrying me up steps, but now I
have a different outlook. Just
because I'm disabled doesn't
mean that I'm helpless." he
said. "Letting people do every­thing
for you makes you lose
your dignity."
While living In North Carolina.
Johnson decided to drive to the
voting poll instead of voting by
absentee ballot. "When I got
there I found no accessible
parking and no access to the
building," he said. "A man saw
me and asked if I needed some
help. I told him I no longer let
people carry me up steps If
there wasn't a ramp.
"He said I might be able to
vote curbside. He brought out
the judge and told me I had to
sign this sheet of paper. The
paper said 'Because you're dis­abled
and may require assis­tance
we would appreciate you
voting curbside.'"
It was the "because you're dis­abled"
statement that offended
Johnson, he said.
"This statement labeled me as
the problem, and society still
continues to do this. It's be­cause
we're disabled that we
have to do this," he said.
Johnson said providing
access should be a challenge for
everyone. Most people use cost
as the main reason for not mak­ing
public facilities accessible
for the disabled, he said.
"It's as If cost Is more Impor­tant
than me as a person," he
said. "I know It's costly, but if
someone would have been
thinking when the buildings
were built the first time, they
wouldn't have to add ramps,
etc.; therefore making it less
expensive."
In 1989, there continues to be
an us-them attitude between
people who are disabled and
people who are not, he said. The
public transit systems are an
example of this attitude. "There
are separate facilities for us,
and this Is just one of the many
examples that we must deal
with.
"We've got to think about
these problems way beyond just
this week," Johnson said.
"There's a lot more to learn
about disabilities, more than
just awareness. I encourage you
to keep things going on at
Auburn University."

Lives may be saved
with donor program
By Julie Ryan
Staff Writer
During the month of April, the
Alabama Regional Organ and
Tissue Center and Harco Drugs
Inc. has been sponsoring a pro­gram
designed to create aware­ness
and frequency of organ
and tissue transplantation.
"The main thrust of this
month is for people to realize
the actual miracle a transplan­tation
can make," said David
Nunn, Harco director of market­ing.
Nationally, there are 160,000
people waiting for kidney trans­plants,
700 waiting for heart
transplants, 500 waiting for
liver transplants and thousands
waiting for bone and cornea
transplants, according to Chuck
Patrick of the Alabama Regional
Organ and Tissue Center.
The waiting period for these
people is usually one to six
years. Those waiting for kidney
transplants live longer than
those who need other types of
transplants because they can be
kept alive on dialysis machines
until a donor Is found, Patrick
said.
Those who receive organ and
tissue transplants depend on
how well the potential recipient
matches the donor and the
degree of urgency, Patrick said.
The matching of this informa­tion
is done on a computer sys­tem
called the United Network
for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
"When a donor becomes avail­able,
the donor is matched on
UNOS with potential recipients,
and the one most similar in
blood type, tissue type and
other factors is chosen," Patrick
said.
"One of the best things a
transplantation can do is
improve the quality of life for
that person," he said. "That per­son
can then lead a normal life
Just like everyone else.
"People avoid the subject of
donation because it forces them
to think about death. However,
those who are directly affected.
especially if a family member
receives an organ or tissue, feel
it is the greatest thing in the
world."
Doctors and nurses are now
required by the Federal Request
for Organ Donation Law to give
the family of the deceased the
option of organ and tissue
donation or the option to
decline.
"About 50 to 75 percent of
those property approached with
the option of donation do agree
and give their consent," he said.
'The 25 percent, however, who
do not agree to donation have a
lack of Information on the sub­ject."
The decision to be an organ
and tissue donor must be dis­cussed
with family members,
Patrick said. Relatives must
know the intentions of the
donor in case of an emergency
to ensure they are carried out
properly.
The back of the driver's
license is the best place to indi­cate
that the person is an organ
or tissue donor, Patrick said. If
a person does not have a
license, an organ donor card
can be picked up at a Harco
Drug store.

"Everything strictly

Because birds of prey may be
helpless and too weak to care
for themselves when injured,
they may eventually die of star­vation
and infection.
The Raptor Program at the
College of Veterinary Medicine
can help these birds before it Is
too late.
The program helps birds from
all over the state. Most of the
birds are brought by wildlife
agents from animal centers,
said Joe Deck, 03 VM, student
director of the program.
'We've had three to 10 birds
come from Mobile all at one
time," Deck said. "We usually
try to keep the number of birds
down to about 30, but in the
past couple of weeks we have
had around 40," he said.
The majority of birds of prey
that fly during the day, such as
hawks, are accidentally shot by
hunters, while the majority of
owls are hit by cars as they
swoop down close to the ground
at night. Deck said.
'When a bird is shot, it us­ually
won't be seen; the hunter
won't realize that he has shot
it," Deck said. "It will go off and
hide for three or four days.
"It can't eat because it's too
weak and its injuries will get
infected. People will come
across the bird and want to
help," Deck said.
Since the bird has usually
been Injured for a week, the
students mostly treat infections.
Broken bones are also common.
Faculty adviser Dr. James Mil­ton,
an orthopedic surgeon,
operates on the birds when nec­essary.
Once the bird has been treat­ed,
it recuperates for six to eight
weeks in a cage. After the bird
has healed, the students work
with the bird another two to
four weeks until it is strong
enough to fly.
It Is usually not strong
enough to fly Immediately
because its muscles have been
weakened during confinement,
Deck said. "Not all the birds are
releasable," he said. "Those we
try to place somewhere else.
Some we keep to use with lec­tures."
Students in the program
spend 50 percent of their time
working with the birds and the
other 50 percent giving and
preparing lectures. Deck said.

Clock not keeping with times
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
Although most students walk
by Samford Hall, they may not
notice each face of the clock
sports a different time.
One face is frozen at 7:36
while another accurately dis­plays
the time. Another face is
always a couple of minutes
slow, announcing its time by
ringing a few minutes after the
right time. The final face is
barely visible through the trees
which cover it.
"It's a disgrace the way the
clock is kept up," said J. M.
Whitman, who maintained the
clock for 40 years, from 1938 to
1982.
"I wouldn't sleep, if it was my
responsibility, until the clock
was fixed," Whitman said.
The clock is not only a means
of keeping time, but It is also
one of Auburn's traditions,
William Askew, a 1917 grad­uate,
said.
During World War I, the clock
tower was used to warn Auburn
residents of danger. Because
nlng for Ave straight seasons, he
said.
Critics claimed the reason
Auburn was winning was
because they never played a
worthy team. Askew said. Coach
'It's a disgrace the way the clock is
kept up.'
- J . M. Whitman
Auburn looked liked a military
base from the air, there was
always a chance it would be
attacked, Askew said.
The clock was also used to
announce Auburn's victory In a
classic football game, he said.
While Askew was enrolled at
Auburn, the school had one of
the finest football teams, win-
Michael Donahue, the football
coach at the time, challenged
the best team to come forward
and play against them.
A game was arranged to be
played in Birmingham against
the Carlisle Indians.
As the game was telegraphed
to Auburn, students in Langdon
Hall watched each play as a
cardboard ball was moved
across a blackboard, which rep­resented
the playing field,
Askew said.
Auburn won the game 7-0,
and Dr. Charles Thach, then
president of Auburn, told the
students to form squads and
ring the bell in Samford Hall
until midnight, Askew said.
"There never was a game that
brought as much spirit to Au­burn,"
Askew said.
Whitman said the clock would
not require much time, just
some Initiative to fix it. Once the
clock was fixed, people would
Just have to keep checking on it.
"I think they Just forgot it was
up there," he said. "When I was
in charge of the clock, and it
would break down, people
would eat me up about it.
"Unfortunately, I haven't seen
anything about the clock lately."

Students need working k T&Vk- dge of various sciences
By Leln Shory
Staff Writer
Universities should not allow
students to graduate without a
working knowledge of several
different sciences, according to
George Mason University Profes­sor
James Trefil.
'You wouldn't assume that if
someone had read Shakespeare,
then they were experts on
Faulkner. Yet somehow, in sci­ence,
a similar kind of assump­tion
Is made," said the physics
professor, speaking on "Science
and Cultural Literacy" in Broun
Hall April 19.
"Scientists don't talk very
much about the 99 or 98 per­cent
of students that go through
a university and aren't going to
be scientists," Trefil said. "And
we don't think very much about
what we need to teach those
students about science."
Trefil criticized science re­quirements
set by some univer­sities
that require the least
amount of math possible and
only one traditional science
course for non-science majors.
"I think that's a particularly
pernicious way to teach science
because it assumes that if you
learn (about one field such as)
physics, then you'll know all
about the environment and the
stars and geology and so on," he
said. 'We don't make that kind
of assumption in other fields."
Trefil also discussed his book
Dictionary of Cultural Literacy.
Cultural literacy is a set of con­cepts
or ideas that educated
people assume other educated
people know, he said. To assem­ble
his book Trefil and his col­leagues
used what he called the
"New York Times Test" for selec­tion
of material, he said.
Any uncommon term or
phrase used by the New York
Times or any other major news­paper
without an explanation
would be included, such as
"quantum leap," or "Adolf
Hitler."
The team also used what Tre­fil
called the "Frank Sinatra
Test" to help judge words from
popular culture. If a term or
phrase from popular culture
was still being used 20 years
after Its creation or first appear­ance,
then it would be included,
he said.
The aim of the book was not
to formally and authoritatively
decide what educated people
should know, but merely to ask
that question, he said.
- > • • • • • • • • • • •
Scientific non-illiteracy is a
term Trefil used to describe the
point between scientific literacy,
the knowledge scientists have,
and scientific illiteracy, not
knowing the difference between
atoms and molecules.
The non-scientist American
public should be between these
points of knowledge, Trefil said.
The entire university system
**'•• ••- . :*-?
has failed these people because
if you pick up a newspaper,
you're likely to see a headline
that says "Fears About
Japanese Superconductivity
Grow," or "Ozone Effect Feared
in Antarctic," he said. Those are
headlines that you might find in
any major, newspaper, he said.
"If you don't know what a
superconductor is, if you don't
know what ozone is, you're
missing pieces of the matrix of
knowledge that you need to read
just to read a newspaper," he
said.
Trefil collaborated with E. 1).

Livestock replace crops
as agriculture declines
By David King
Start Writer
Agriculture in Alabama will
experience major changes in the
next decade with fewer farms,
more cattle and more grazing
land, according to Jim Stallings,
professor of agricultural eco­nomics.
"Alabama is a grain deficit
state. It must import 70 percent
of the grain it uses, mostly from
Indiana and Illinois," Stallings
said.
Farmers are finding it easier
and cheaper to raise livestock
instead of raising crops, a factor
which has forced a decline in
Alabama's production of row
crops, such as corn, he said.
Stallings' view of the future
comes from data gathered in a
study conducted in part with
the College of Agriculture.
The study, which began in the
1950s, takes place every five
years and is used to predict the
needs and production level of
Alabama farmers for the next
five to 10 years. Alabama has a
unique situation where it has to
import grain to feed its live­stock,
according to Stallings.
For the next 10 years, the
beef industry should not see
much of an increase, while the
amount of acreage devoted to
pastures will increase, Stallings
said.
Because convenient river
transportation makes it relative­ly
cheap to bring in grain, the
chicken industry will increase,
despite the amount of grain that
must be imported, he said.
Alabama can also produce
chickens cheaper than other
states because of the amount of
money already invested in the
industry, he said.
Stallings also used data to
predict a decline in the number
of farms. "There is no doubt
that the number of farms is
going down," he said. "There are
now 49,000 farms, and we pro­ject
44,000 by the end of the
'90s," he said.
There are basically two types
of farmers, he said. The rural
farmer raises livestock and pro­duce
on a small scale, while the
commercial farmer, earns a cer­tain
amount of profit from farm­ing
annually.

Cattle farms increasing
The number of commercial
farms will decrease, but the
number of smaller farms will
remain constant, Stallings said.
The decrease in farms will
hurt other industries, he said.
"Anywhere between $2.50 to $3
of business income will be lost
for every $1 in agriculture lost,"
he said.

FATAL
ADDICTION
Convicted Killer
Ted Bundy's
Final Interview
Thursday, April 27
7:00 p.m.
Foy 246
Sponsored by:
GCS
Christian
Fellowship
A local teenager's suicide 18
years ago prompted a local pro­fessor,
a minister and two
Auburn students to form what
is today the Crisis Center of
East Alabama.
"We are not a suicide hotline,
but rather a listening service for
anyone in Lee, Russell, Cham­bers
or Tallapoosa County who
needs someone to talk to," said
Susan Blanton, assistant coor­dinator
and training screener
for the center.
"We do occasionally receive
suicide threats, but they are few
and far between," she said.
Approximately 60 active vol­unteers
or "listeners" receive
150 to 200 calls per week from
students and local residents
experiencing such diverse prob­lems
as depression, unwanted
pregnancy, drug or alcohol
addiction, rape and physical
abuse by spouses, Blanton said.
"About 60 percent of the calls
we receive are believed to be
from local residents, with most
of the rest being students,"
Blanton said. "On the other
hand, 60 percent of our volun­teers
are students, and the rest
are professors and Interested
citizens."
The diversity of the volun­teers'
backgrounds helps in
addressing the wide range of
problems they must help callers
handle, she said.
Although most student volun­teers
major in health-oriented
fields, many University schools
and departments are represent­ed,
Blanton said.
The Crisis Center is a non­profit
organization, receiving
funding from The United Way
and Community Chest Organi­zations
from the cities of
Auburn, Opelika, Alexander
City and Valley. The SGA is also
a major contributor.
"We classify ourselves as a
phone counseling/listening ser­vice,"
Blanton said. 'We treat
every caller with importance. We
have to realize the importance of
a problem if someone is trou­bled
enough to call us for help."
Because some calls require
the assistance of professionals,
the Crisis Center is also a refer­ral
service for the East Alabama
Mental Health Center, Rape
Counselors of Lee County and
500 various practitioners.
"The Crisis Center also han­dles
a service called Kid Line,
which is a phone counseling
service available to children who
spend their afternoons at home
alone while their parents are at
work," Blanton said.

Funding GSO
Bill Revlngton, president
of t h e G r a d u a t e Student
Organization, has a prob­lem.
The problem Is t h a t the
organization needs money,
and it has been put off by
the SGA for the past three
years.
Reasoning that graduate
students make up 10 per­cent
of t h e student popula­tion,
the GSO h a d hoped to
receive a flat 10 percent of
the SGATs T&udget. Sounds:
fair enough?
The Student Senate did­n't
think so.
The Senate voted 17-5 at
i t s l a s t m e e t i n g of t he
1 9 8 8 - 8 9 S e n a t e year to
require the GSO to present
its budget to the SGA Bud­get
and Finance Committee
- j u s t like every other stu­dent
project which receives
funds from student activity
fees of tuition.
This is the only fair way
to ensure accountability of
the GSO funds.
The SGA's new budget
beginning in October will
Revington said it
seems the Sen­ate
'can't make a
mature decision.'
We say, 'Sour
grapes.'
reach upward of $70,000,
with approximately $63,000
coming from student activi­ty
fees. It's absurd to think
t h a t 10 percent of of t he
SGA student activity fees -
about $6,300 - should be
handed to t h e GSO without
question.
Revington said it seems
that the Senate "can't make
a mature decision." We say,
"Sour grapes."
The Senate debated the
bill and offered t h e best
s o l u t i o n , even t h o u g h it
may not have p l e a s ed
Revington and the GSO. We
applaud the Senate.
Property tax
The state Legislature Is in
s e s s i o n , and with t h at
m e a n s confusing legisla­tion.
T h a t ' s what we feel
a b o u t an e d u c a t i o n bill
presently floating through
the state House of Repre­sentatives.
The bill would require
counties to raise at least 20
mills of property taxes for
education. It makes sense
for the c o u n t i e s to bear
some of the b u r d e n since
t h e s t a t e is i n c a p a b l e of
r a i s i n g enough funds.
Those counties not achiev­ing
20 mills will be pun­ished
for t h e difference.
The proposal suffers from
several flaws.
First of all, the bill would
cause disproportionate rev­enue
from wealthy counties
versus poor counties, thus
further worsening t h e qual­i
ty gap between wealthy
and poor counties.
Second, the bill Is only a
temporary solution.
Alabama education needs
help. We r a n k last In t he
Southeast for revenue pro­vided
for e a c h s t u d e nt
based on attendance. How­ever,
we r a n k in the middle
of t h e S o u t h e a s t for per
capita income.
State education funding
obviously n e e d s reform;
evidence can be seen In t he
lack of money at all levels
of education in Alabama.
However, we d o n ' t need
s h o r t - s i g h t e d , temporary
solutions to t h e problem.
The 'spirit'
We would like to make a
brief mention of a group
t h a t , t h o u g h often over­looked
or t a k e n for granted,
plays a large role In repre­senting
our University.
That group is our cheer­leaders.
Most folks will agree that
the 1989-90 squad, which
was chosen on April 13. Is
definitely a young group,
but we have faith they will
represent u s well - on and
off the field.
After all. we expect a lot
from anyone who will rep­resent
Auburn.
Truth offers no easy answer
"Look back to fall 1982 and
the controversy surrounding
former President rlandley Fun-derburk.
See how the furor
arose among this institution's
administration, faculty and
alumni."
So read the words of the
anonymous letter - one of sever­al
I have received during the
past year. The author told the
story of Tim Dorsey, a former
Plainsman editor (and a good
one, from what IVe heard) who
was instrumental in rallying
students and faculty against
Funderburk
"Tim Dorsey left Auburn a
hero and champion..." the letter
continued. Wouldn't it be swell
to be remembered as a "hero."
Journalists are faced with
dilemmas like this every day. We
seek the truth through a never-ending
maze of anonymous
sources, manipulative officials,
deceltfulness and outright lies.
Sometimes, however, it is easy
to get caught on the "bandwag-
David
Sharp
on." Right now, the, bandwagon
appears to be out to get Jerry
Smith, executive director of the
Alumni Association, and every­one
is climbing aboard to see
him resign.
Last week, the editorial board
of The Plainsman implored
Smith to resign before further
damage results to Auburn's rep­utation.
We do not take a man's
future lightly, and we wrote the
editorial only after we saw no
alternative lor the University to
save face.
To write an editorial such as
this for personal gain, notoriety
or to be a "hero" is against the
ethics of good journalism. To
paste someone's name across a
front page for self-gain demon­strates
the kind of screwed-up
values that journalists try to
avoid but sometime fall prey.
This column is not intended
to state The Plainsman's righ­teousness
or piousness; we
make plenty of mistakes and
learn from them. We do, howev­er,
take our job seriously.
We have tried through the
year to make sense of the Alum­ni
Association situation. Unfor­tunately,
we're still baffled.
• Why didn't the administra­tion
end this months ago by
announcing that wrongdoings
had occurred and it was work­ing
to rectify the problems?
• Is Smith taking the fall
because the faculty can't get at
the big game, Trustee Bobby
Lowder?
• Is the Smith/Alumni Associ­ation/
Board of Trustees/Low-der/
wimpy administration/lack
of leadership melodrama an
example of checks and balances
'
in action, or is there an orga­nized
power struggle going on a t;
our University?
There is no easy answer, if;
there is an answer at all. It i s ;
time for President James Martin [
to let all the records and trans-*
actions be made public, includ-'
ing the transcripts from the*
numerous "executive sessions" [
called by the Board of Trustees
and the report by the Atlanta [
law firm King and Spaulding.
Only then can the faculty, [
students and the media decl-f
pher the mess and make an j
educated decision on what is;
right, thus bringing an end to a j
dark chapter in Auburn's histo-"
ry-
The analogy of the present sit-,
uation to the Funderburk issue
is plausible, but I hope no one
has to become a "hero" before
someone shows some leadership
and resolves the problem.
David Sharp is editor of The
Plainsman.

Wrench thrown into Smith saga
Boy, oh, boy, has the admin­istration
ever gotten itself into a
pickle. Whether to take action
in the Jerry Smith saga is a
question which is holding the
administration in more sus­pense
than the escapades of
Indiana Jones.
Now, a huge monetary
wrench has been thrown into
the works by Jimmy Goodwin,
who has retracted all support to
the University, monetary or oth­erwise,
until the situation is
resolved (read as "until Smith is
fired").
It is likely that other major
contributors to Auburn will fol­low
the move of Goodwin and
withdraw their support as well.
In fact, many of the smaller
contributors who only con­tribute
in the four-digit range
will probably withdraw their
support, and the news will
never reach the public.
In fact. Auburn may lose
almost as much money by many
small contributors withdrawing
Wade
Williams
their support, than it will from
the loss of a couple of large con­tributors.
Facing the administration are
several choices, none of which
are extremely attractive for the
administration. It can:
• Continue its policy of
unspoken support for Smith by
continually replying "No com­ment
is proper until all the
Investigations are complete."
Although this option allows
the administration to support
Smith without having to actual­ly
go public with Its support, it
will certainly lose large sums of
money, which of course would
be unthinkable.
• Call for S< lith's resignation,
thereby appeasing the alumni
and allowing it to receive the
money for which it is so desper­ate.
This option may not be a
good choice for the administra­tion,
however, because it would
present the Image that It Is con­cerned
only with getting the
alumni's money, no matter what
the cost in careers, image of the
University, detriment to educa­tion,
etc...
• Come out publicly and give
Smith its full support, saying
that It will stand behind him
because it believes in him, and
no amount of money withheld
by alumni will be sufficient to
make the administration buckle
(Just kidding. I know that this
one is fantasy land.)
• Fire Smith for the illegal
actions that he has committed,
or at least for reasonable suspi­cion
of illegal actions. This
must be done without commu­nication
to any alumni that,
because of the firing, the
administration wishes them to' •
resume their contributions. The
firing must be simply because of.
Smith's behavior, not to regain
contributions. , r
Certainly if criminal charges;
are brought against Smith, the
University will have no choice <
but to fire him. It wouldn't keep^
a criminal in charge of the
alumni association, would it?
Of course not. I mean, prob-> r
ably not, or at least I wouldn't.'
think so...
All students, faculty, staff.;' *
alumni and trustees of Auburn'
owe a debt to Jimmy Goodwin. *
He had the guts to stand up for
what he knew was right, and**
criticize the college which her
loves. If this school had more'
students, faculty, staff, alumni ?
and trustees like Jimmy Good-J
win, I might not ever have had'^
to write this column. s

Reporters should see other side
Typically, when journalists
are depicted on television and In
the movies, they are portrayed
as thirsty bloodhounds, harass­ing
people to get a story.
They usually go to great
lengths in reporting the story,
chasing after newsmakers, bad­gering
people, desperately trying
to ask questions at press con­ferences
- all In the name of a
"scoop."
As a Journalism major plan­ning
to make a career out of
writing, I have always consid­ered
hounding just part of the
Job of a reporter, coming with
the territory, so to speak.
If that is indeed the case, I
don't think I want any part of
the territory of newspaper
reporting. IVe seen things from
the other side, that is, from the
perspective of the scoop-ee
rather than the scoop-er - and
it is far from pleasant.
In fact, It's nightmarish.
Amy
Durkee
My family experienced the
plague of the press when my
brother died of a drowning a few
weeks ago. Apparently, they
didn't think It was bad enough
that we had to suffer the
tragedy; we were forced to suffer
them as well.
The St. Petersburg Times, a
paper with a good reputation for
its reporting and design, faith­fully
gave its readers the story
of the Incident. It was an Inter­esting
story, one which surely
caught the readers' attention. If
only it had been a true one.
I understand the importance
of getting a story fast, and I
know that sometimes it Is diffi­cult
to find the answers neces­sary
to report everything about
a story. But I do not under­stand,
nor approve of, distorting
facts and printing anything Just
to have a story.
The way I see It, and I think
most readers would agree, a
short, accurate account of an
incident is better than an erro­neous,
embellished (though ter­ribly
interesting) front-page
story.
I guess the basic theory used
here is: If you don't know the
real story, make one up.
Granted, they did try to get
the real story. They repeatedly
called every member of my fami­ly,
as well as neighbors and
friends. I might have admired
their conscientiousness if I
hadn't felt so infringed upon.
Consideration and respect
apparently are not conducive to
"good" reporting.
I resent this blatant misrepre­sentation
of the truth for tht
sake of a better story. I always
thought better meant more
accurate. Perhaps I am just too
idealistic.
:l I ought to mention that the
paper printed another article
the next day. In an effort, pre-i .
sumably, to correct and clarify;
the original story. They werej
again unsuccessful, and though'
it was definitely an improve-'. -
ment, it was still misleading.
Not that it mattered much to
the readers; it was at the'
expense only of my family. J
I might hope the reporters'
involved could endure the same \
treatment, have the same expe- .,-*
rience, so they could see what;
i t ' s like and perhaps learn;
something.
But I don't think I would wish
that on anyone.

Quote of the week
"I don't think we should leave such Important decisions (abortion) up to nine lawyers." -
Theodore Becker, head of the political science department, commenting on the Supreme Court's
review of arguments that could lead to a re-evaluation of the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade case
The week in history
10 years ago, 1970: The University Programs Council was granted "virtually compete control"
over major entertainment following action from the Coliseum Advisory Committee.
The Committee voted 5-2 to charge any entertainment sponsored by students a rental rate of
$500, instead of the 10 percent of the revenue paid in the past.
This freed the UPC to negotiate with the promoters for a percentage of the gross and brought
more revenue to the UPC for better major entertainment, according to UPC Major Entertainment
Director Tony Bronkema.
25 years ago, 1064: Entertainers Bo Diddley and Leon Bibb, popular singers, canceled their
planned Auburn performances because both had clauses in their contracts prohibiting their
playing before a segregated crowd or a token Integrated crowd.
Bibb canceled his contract, and the IFC, the promoter of the event, canceled Bo Diddley's
contract. Ticket sales were limited to Auburn students, faculty members and the administration.

amusing (unless you do not
know enough about animals to
understand their reactions).
Just because "rodeos are
widely accepted spectator
events in America," according to
Dr. Morgan (as cited in last
week's Plainsman article)
doesn't mean Americans should
not begin to substitute this
spectator event with something
equally entertaining, but more
aligned with our morally, spiri­tually
and intellectually
advanced society^
We Americans say we're civi­lized.
We humans say we're
intelligent, advanced. It's time
we entered the 21st century
with our actions matching our
words.

Clearing up points on PETA
> Editor, The Plainsman:
i •
<• As a member of PETA (People
, tor Ethical Treatment of Ani­mals)
and the Auburn Students
jFor Ethical Treatment of Ani­mals,
I would like to address the
editorial commenting on the
organization and the Alpha Psl
rodeo protest.
( While I applaud your ability
to comment on a variety of
issues, your ideas as to the pur­pose
of PETA are misguided.
PETA doesn't concern itself
exclusively with the issue of ani­mal
experimentation. Our orga­nization's
goal is to completely
eliminate the exploitation of ani­mals
In society. PETA focuses
on a wide scope of animal rights
issues including animal experi­mentation,
fur farming, vivisec­tion,
factory farming, vegetari­anism
and the use of animals
for human sport - for example,
the Alpha Psi rodeo.
Your one Justification for the
rodeo seems to lie in the state­ment:
"Rodeos can cause Injury
to the animals, but they have
also proved Injurious to the
human participants as well."
What kind of a statement is
this?
If you agree that both animals
and humans are hurt by the
rodeo, then they continue hav­ing
this "good-natured Auburn
tradition"? It is one thing for
humans to harm one another,
but Why should animals have to
be involved?
I would like to invite you, as
well as anyone else who is mis­guided
as to the function of
PETA, to attend a meeting as
soon as possible.

"Demos cater to small group
Editor, The Plainsman:
t Time has passed enough that
the debate over political labels
from our recent presidential
elections can be re-examined. It
*is appropriate to ask if, indeed,
the charges fired at the Demo­cratic
party were fair, accurate
, or deceiving. Has the Democrat­ic
party shifted from the party
of all Americans to a party of a
small group of idealists?
» To answer these questions, we
need only have read The Mont­gomery
Advertiser in the April
, 16 and 17 issues for clues.
On the 16th, Ishmael Ahmad
reports of a recent scholarly
book by Dr. K. Sue Jewell of
. Ohio State University. In Sur­vival
of the Black Family: The
'"ttitutional Impact of U.S.
:ial Policy, the black sociolo­gist
says "liberal social policies"
of the brand Lyndon Johnson
advocated "contributed to the
destruction of the black two
parent families," removed Incen­tive
to work and created in the
black community an air of "low
self esteem." These things can
also be said of dependent
whites.
These same programs are
advocated by the Democratic
party today, only the variety of
the programs have Increased. If
since 1960 social spending had
increased at the same rate as
defense spending, in 1985 we
would have had a budget sur­plus
of approximately $200 bil­lion.
On the 17th was a more
revealing clue, the former chair­man
of the Democratic National
Committee said of a report he
suppressed release of in 1985,
"I thought the better way to go
was on the positive track on
what we do to stand for and do
believe, rather then what the
guy in the bowling alley in
saying about us." Talk about
elitist contempt for Americans,
this is it.
Note: Richard Nixon, 37th
president, installed the first
bowling alley into the White
House. Question: I wonder if
Kirk's statement could be read
"rather than what the guy in the
horseshoe pit is saying about
us?"
By the way, Kirk's $200,000
report reflected the grass-roots
rejections of The Great Society.

Goodwin's choice applauded
Editor. The Plainsman:
Finally someone has some
ethics. I applaud Mr. Jimmy
Goodwin for suspending his fur­ther
pledges to Auburn. It Is
time this University ceases to be
a business and becomes a cen­ter
of learning.
While the Alumni Association
Is busy building monuments to
itself (the alumni center) and
giving its members perks, I am
down the street in Biggin Hall
trying to do my project sur­rounded
by a crumbling build­ing
and dilapidated equipment.
We are told by the dean of Aca­demic
Affairs that there is just
not enough money to rebuild or
repair our facility.
I don't know how the Alumni
Association allocates money,
but it seems to me that if they
really "care" about this Universi­ty,
they would give the appar­ently
large sums of money they
have to the departments and
facilities that really need it. The
art department is not the only
group in need of money. Haley
Center is a dump, the quad
dorms need renovating and
there are probably other depart­ments
that get overlooked.
Then there is the ever-present
entity - athletics. The way I
understand it, the football pro­gram
turns a profit and then
Pat Dye gives the excess to
whatever part of the University
he thinks needs it most - the
library, the band etc... That Is
pretty good politics for a good ol'
boy.
First of all, I do not believe
TMI
there should be a section of the
University making exorbitant
profits and then funneling the
profits back on itself. That kind
of operation is a business func­tioning
under the guise of a
University.
Second, I don't find It appro­priate
that a football coach
should be divvying up large
sums of money among the Uni­versity.
I could go on and on, but I
have some final comments: The
students of this University are
not stupid. We see all the back
scratching that is going on here.
It is all a very thin, slim film of
politics. Please, give me a Uni­versity
I can be proud to say I
graduated from.

Spirit points need reform
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing in the hope that
the Greek spirit point system
can be changed. Football season
seems more involved than other
seasons. It seems unfair that a
sorority that has not been con­sistent
can come from seventh
place and reach first place.
I believe the following changes
must be made. One, that a time
limit be placed on what points
can be turned in. For example,
within two weeks time, points
must be turned in or they are
no longer good.
This would prevent a Greek
organization from holding
points or worse yet, telling an
untruth. There should be no
reason for a sorority to turn in a
clump of points totaling over
400 and that span the time of
over two months.
Two, that signs need to be
monitored. Some sororities use
huge letters and many colors,
and this is great. Other sorori­ties,
on the other hand, use
black thin-lined markers that
make it impossible to read their
letters and the saying of the
sign.
Are they embarrassed of these
signs, is that why I cannot read,
what Greek organization It rep-'
resents? I have noticed that a
sorority has made signs just for
the points and not for their
sorority or the good of Auburn
athletics.
Away teams see these signs
and these signs do make an
impression. Possible their only
impression of the Greek system
at Auburn. Why not make them
large and colorful?
Three, because more Greek
organizations participate during
fall, make football games worth
five points each with a maxi­mum
of three signs per game.
Then during winter and spring,
make signs worth two points
each with a maximum of two
signs per event This would pro­tect
a Greek organization that
has worked very hard fall quar­ter
and beyond from losing to a
sorority that has been inconsis­tent
I think with these changes,
there would be less surprise to
the winner of spirit. The cam­pus
would be aware of the great
signs and associate that Greek
organization by having spirit on
campus.

The 18 percent increase
meant 318 more accidents
causing property damage, 93
more accidents with injuries
and 10 more fatal accidents on
the 65 mph interstates when
compared to other state acci­dent
rates.
But surprisingly there was
not an Increase in the severity
of the accident since accidents
at higher speeds are expected
to be worse, he said.
"The reason that they did not
get worse is because seat belt
utilization has gone from 43
percent to 53 percent on rural
interstates," Brown said. The
study indicates that seat belts
are Just as effective at 65 mph
as at 55 mph.
Brown encourages the use of
seat belts to reduce the number
of severe or fatal accidents.
"Without a seat belt you're twice
as likely to be killed or severely
injured in an accident, as
opposed to being mildly injured
or not injured at all. It's the dif­ference
between playing Rus­sian
roulette with one bullet In
the chamber or five," he said.
An estimated 300 lives per
year would be saved if everyone
wore a seat belt. Brown said.
Brown conducted his research
with Saeed Maghsoodloo, an
industrial engineering professor,
and Beth McArdle 06 CS. The
group conducted statistical
tests utilizing a computerized
accident records system devel­oped
at Auburn. '<
Auburn's research was one
part of a five-part study that
was funded by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Adminis­tration,
a division of the Depart­ment
of Transportation. The
r e s u l t s will help legislators
decide whether to keep the 65
mph speed limit, Brown said.
When the 55 mph highway
speed limit was imposed in
1976, it had little to do with
safety, he said. The idea then
was conservation, he said.
the Income earned from prizes,"
he said.
However, states make money
from lotteries by not distribut­ing
all of the proceeds, he said.
Still, Jackson does not see a
lottery being adopted in Alaba­ma
in the near future. "Our
model says that it Just isn't like­ly
Alabama will pass a lottery
for a long, long time," he said.
Although Jackson said he
probably would not participate
in an Alabama lottery, those
wishing to participate in a lot­tery
should be able to do so, he
said.

There have been only five peo­ple
working on the asbestos
until recently when the Univer­sity
hired more people to begin
removing the materials, Drake
said.
When the materials are
removed the process begins
with the facilities division first
calling the Alabama Department
of Environmental Management
and notifying them that
asbestos will be removed from
the buildings.
The location for the removal Is
protected by layers of plastic
and a barrier from the outside.
After the asbestos is removed
it is double-bagged and taken to
a temporary dump on campus
and then it Is transported to the
Salem Waste Management Facil­ity.

and the sites are inspected
closely by state inspectors and

It is a myth that the Court
bases its decisions on the Con­stitution
without letting person­al
views affect decisions, Becker
said.
"The Court manages to find
subtle, ingenious ways to sup­port
its decisions," he said.
The Court should uphold the
1973 decision because there is
no evidence when life begins, he
said. "There are no more facts,
just more interpretations. The
Constitution has not changed,"
he said.
The court is similar to a politi­cal
football, Becker said. "The
conservatives are trying to get
hold of it and run for a touch
down," he said.
The Constitution is vague and
ambiguous, which leads to vary­ing
interpretations, and the jus­tices

"Bring the age down to 14 to be

Voter turnout on moral or pol­icy

he said.
Ultimately, according to
Gandhian philosophy, South
Africa Is not far removed from
South Alabama, nor is India
that distant from Auburn.
The difference, Gandhi said,
is that we are on the other side
of the coin, since we as 3 per­cent

54 percent of the world's

At that level globally, less

Auburn in the raw, Playboy looks for posers
By Kitty Brown
* Staff Writer
Ask a typical female stu­dent
at Auburn what she
hopes to achieve during
her college years, and chances
are she won't say she dreams of
• posing for a pictorial In the
October issue of
Playboy maga­zine.
But that's
what female
s t u d e n t s are
• going to have
the opportunity
to do next Mon­day.
Playboy will
be in Auburn
on May 1 for six
. days as part of
a tour of South­eastern

applicants for

according to Elizabeth Norris, a
spokesman for Playboy.
David Chan, veteran photog­rapher
for every search since
• Playboy started doing college
conference pictorials in 1979,
will be taking appointments for
15-minute interviews at the
Auburn Hotel and Conference
Center beginning May 1, Norris
said.
The applicants complete biog­raphy
sheets, which will be sub
mitted with a snapshot to Play­boy's

where finalists will be selected.
Although it is best to bring a
bikini to the Interview, appli­cants
can specify the type of
shots they would prefer to do:
nude or clothed, Norris said.
Several women interviewed

Special camp teaches
both campers, helpers
By Alyson Llnde
Staff Writer
There Was nothing special
about the Greyhound
bus that pulled up in
front of Jill Dryden and Dawn
Kimball that day. What mat­tered
was the people waving
excitedly Inside the bus.
From the outside of the bus
they looked just like any other
group of people on a trip, but
their destination was Camp
ASCCA (Alabama's Special
Camp for Children and Adults)
in Jackson's Gap.
Camp ASCCA's main func­tion
is to provide "recreational
and outdoor educational ser­vices
for people with disabili­ties,"
says Cheryl Bynum, 21,
program specialist for the
camp.
'Lots of times the
counselors get
more out of it than
they put into it.'
-Cheryl Bynum
The campers are offered
experiences that they can't get
elsewhere, she says. They also
get the opportunity "to be on
their own without depending
on their parents."
Camp ASCCA Is open all year
and is used also by many
groups for retreats, confer­ences,
and parties, Bynum
says.-
Many college students vol­unteer
as weekend counselors
at Camp ASCCA Volunteers
need to "want to work with
people with disabilities and to
be interested in giving them a
good time," Bynum says.
A counselor Is assigned one
camper to care for and be a
buddy to for the weekend.
"Lots of times the counselors
get more out of it than they
put into it," Bynum says.
Dryden and Kimball volun­teered
as camp counselors to
get experience working with
people with disabilities. Dry­den,
an 18-year-old senior at
Auburn High School, says her
weekend at Camp ASCCA
helped her decide to major In
special education at Auburn In
the fall.
Her experience at a day care
center for retarded children In
Florida had given her a dim
view pf the profession. "The
Instructors yelled at them or
were too permissive," she says.
The Camp ASCCA staff
treated the campers kindly, as
normal human beings. Dryden
says.
Dryden would enjoy working
for a camp like ASCCA profes­sionally
some day. "The activi­ties
give the campers a chance
to develop some skills and to
feel better about themselves,"
Dryden says.
She has spent most of her
life learning to relate to and
live with her five brothers and
three sisters. Living with such
a large family gave her a lot of
the background she needs to
pursue a special education
career, she says.
"The campers are a lot like
children," Dryden says. They
need to be taken care of just
like little children do. The per­sonal
care of the camper is the
sole responsibility of the coun­selor.
The counselor is like a
mother to her camper for the
weekend.
Dryden's weekend at camp
showed her that helping her
mother take care of her family
helped her develop the quali­ties
t
