WEGL committee recommended
By Kay Taylor
News Editor
Dr. Don Richardson, head of
the speech communications
department, announced at the
July 7 Board of Student Communications
meeting that he was
submitting a letter to President
Martin recommending an
independent committee be established
to review the process of
managing and advising WEGL,
the Auburn student radio station.
At the June 2 Board meeting, a
committee was established from
Board members to investigate
the manner in which station
managers should be appointed.
This committee was to report its
findings to the July 7 meeting.
Richardson, chairman of the
committee, reported that there
was no committee report, only
recommendations from the
Chairman.
Richardson said that Dr. Steve
Padgett of the speech communi-
'Everything could be accomplished
under the present system.'
— Cindy Holland
cations department had investigated
the history of WEGL and
was preparing a report in two
parts concerning perceived problems
at the station and possibilities
for solving them.
According to Richardson, the
report is expected to be 30-40
pages, and "represents the viewpoint
of the department with an
interest in the radio station."
This report would be for
departmental use, but it would be
made available to the committee
if the committee requested it,
Richardson said.
He added that he hopes the
president will appoint a committee
of people from a wide range of
areas, such as the Student
Government Association, WEGL
and professional broadcasters
from both on- and off-campus.
The committee would make
recommendations on how to best
protect the interests of the Trustees
and to insure that the public's
interest is served by WEGL.
The Trustees hold the license of
WEGL and are accountable to the
Federal Communicatons Commission.
In the event of FCC violations,
the Trustees would be
held responsible.
Richardson said there have
been FCC violations committed
at the station over a long period
of time, but refused to specify
any.
Dr. Pat Barnes, vice president
of student affairs, asked
Richardson why these violations
had not been brought to the
Board's attention and Richardson
replied there is debate over
what roles the speech communications
department and the
faculty adviser of the station
should play. He said that the
committee should examine this
point, and that past definitions of
these roles had been "pretty
fuzzy."
Cindy Holland, SGA president,
expressed to the Board that in her
opinion, there was a lack of communication
between manager
and station manager and that
"Everything could be accomplished
under the present system."
"It's all very speculative. If the
adviser gives advice and you
don't want to take it, the adviser
has no recourse," Richardson
said.
Lynn Farr, former station
manager of WEGL, said that the
relationship between adviser and
station manager was a "past
problem," that the system was
"working now," and that the
problem "could be prevented in
the future by stricter requirements"
of the station managers.
Pat Barnes closed the discussion
of WEGL by asking
Richardson to keep the Board
informed of any developments,
requesting a copy of the letter of
recommendations Richardson
will send to Martin, and asked
that the Board be involved in any
proceedings that follow this
action.
In other action, the Board
voted to apprpve Glen Phillips as
photographer for the Glomerata.
Discussion on the choice of a
printing company for the Glomerata
was tabled until full details
on printing and correction costs
could be obtained.
Fisheries awarded
$ 1.9 million grant
- ^ ,s-ei*i?;' ^W^S"' : - -ViiflB
By Stacy Moore
Staff Writer
Auburn University has been
awarded a $1.9 million contract
by the U.S. Agency for International
Development to help
Indonesia increase the production
of fish, its primary source of
protein.
Auburn, along with the University
of Rhode Island and the
University of Arkansas-Pine
Bluff, will send professors to
work in Indonesia for three years,
according to Donovan D. Moss,
associate director of the International
Center for Aquaculture in
Auburn's Department of Fisheries
and Allied Aquacultures.
H. Rudy Schmittou, a professor
in the Department of Fisheries
and Allied Aquacultures, will
direct the project. Moss said.
Schmittou and his wife have
already left for Indonesia to
initiate the project, which officially
began July 1. They will
reside in Java, Indonesia's
capital.
Schmittou anticipates upgrading
the teaching and research
abilities of the universities and
government agencies involved in
fish production, Moss said .
"They appreciate fish," Moss
said, adding that cattle are raised
in Indonesia, but are too expensive
for local consumption and
that the poultry raised is usually
too. tough to eat. "Practically
three-fourths of the animal protein
consumed by the people of
Indonesia comes from fish," he
said.
Moss said that the main staples
of the Indonesian diet are
rice and fish.
The program, according to
Moss, will be designed to enhance
skills in the development of fresh
water lakes, marine fisheries and
aquacultures.
"It is anticipated that 20 professors
and government officials
from Indonesia will come to
Auburn or to one of the other participating
universities to complete
Ph.D.s or master's to
become prepared to further the
program that we begin," Moss
said.
"These people need food," he
said. The island of Java has a
population of almost 100 million
and is about the size of Alabama,
according to Moss.
"Imagine half of the population
of our country in Alabama,"
Moss said, "and that's what it's
like in Java."

AU facelifts boost economy

The nine major construction

construction supervisors and

stores and building supply

Richards assumes duties as liberal arts dean
By Kay Taylor
News Editor
'I don't want to be
too far removed
from the students.'
— Dr. M. Richards
A new era began July 1 at
Auburn when Dr. Mary Richards
became the University's first
Dean of Liberal Arts.
"We're off to a really great
start," Richards said. "I'm getting
to know my immediate colleagues
and am in the process of
seeing the department heads. I'm
developing a perspective of the
institution."
Richards, who served as associate
dean of liberal arts at the
University of Tennessee-Knox-ville,
was appointed by President
Martin April 26, ending a two-year
search to replace former
Dean of Arts and Sciences
Edward Hobbs.
Hobbs left the University in
October of 1986. Associate Dean
of Arts and Sciences Caine
Campbell was appointed as acting
dean while a search committee
sought a permanent replacement.
The name of the school was
then changed to the College of
Liberal Arts.
Richards said one of her first
goals as dean will be to "enunciate
an agenda that will
enhance the quality of the college."
One measure being taken to
better meet the needs of the
faculty is the appointment of an
associate dean of research for the
college.
"This is of great symbolic value
as well as a real need," Richards
said.
R i c h a r d s also
hopes to establish
faculty and student
advisory
boards...
The associate dean would aid
the faculty in locating funding
for their research and help promote
the faculty's works. Currently,
a search committee is in
the process of filling this
position.
"There are not as many professional
departments here as in
other colleges, but there is a lot of
high-quality research and creative
activity," Richards said.
There aren't as many conduits
for federal grants in liberal arts
as in other professional fields,
and financing research in the
humanities and social sciences is
often more difficult than in pure
sciences, according to Richards.
She stressed that it is important
that the College of Liberal
Arts join with other colleges on
campus to actively pursue
improving the reputation of the
University through both education
and research.
Richards also hopes to establish
faculty and student advisory
boards to open additional channels
of communication between
her office and students and
faculty.
"I like as much information as
possible. I want people to understand
the decisions I make, even
if they don't agree. I want them to
understand my priorities and I
want to have a broad spectrum of
views. •
"I don't want to be too far
removed from the students,"
Richards said.
She said that establishing a
student advisory board would
help keep her office in touch with
student needs. She is considering
creating two branches of the

buildings are prefabricated concrete
or structural steel. Bill
Trawick of a local lumber company,
said.
The contractors already have
the major parts they need, but
their contract allows for any
additional components to be
bought in Auburn. "That's where
we come in," Trawick said.
Though this buying has not
had a major impact on Auburn's
stores, "It's just kind of like gravy
on your potatoes," Trawick said.
The construction firms aren't
the only ones spending money in
Auburn. Hundreds of construction
workers are eating in local
restaurants.
"We've had a definite increase
in both breakfast and lunch,"
Marvin Cox, General Manager of
a local fast food restaurant said.
Many of the construction
workers are from out of state and
stay in local motels.
"I have probably had a 12-15
percent increase in my room rentals,"
Ken Wesson, general manager
of a local motel, said.
Wesson indicated that most of
the construction workers stay at
the motel Monday through
Friday.
In addition to spending money
on food and lodging, each of the
approximately 800 workers is
subject to a 1 percent occupational
tax, according to Sandra
Wilder of the City of Auburn.
"Each person who works within
Auburn city limits must pay 1
percent of their gross income as a
city tax," Wilder said.
The money from this tax will go
into the general fund and will

Drop in soybean yield expected
; "The Department of Agriculture released projected soybean crop
harvests Tuesday of 250 million bushels fewer than in 1987.
'fames Hurst of the Auburn Cooperative Extension Service said
these figures are about what he expected.
\ Hurst said a survey of Alabama farmers in March indicated
that about 500,000 acres of soybeans were to be planted, but
that the actual figure could be about 10 percent higher as many
farmers waited until later in the year to plant their crops. In
four months, the price of soybeans has risen from $b' to $10 per
li'ushel.
••'.-Increased price may have caused farmers to plant more soy-
•beans, but Hurst expects that the average yield per acre will
'drop from 24 to 20 bushels per acre because of the drought. State

Lynne Hopkins
$ The tragic death of former
* Plainsman Editor Lynne
| Hopkins has brought sorrow
I to the journalism faculty and
'- staff of The Plainsman.
Miss Hopkins was killed
jjj July 2 in New York City when
| she was struck by a car near
| Grand Central Station. No
I charges have D'een filed
'• against the driver.
Miss Hopkins was not
;- reported missing until early
last week because her place of
employment, Random House
Publishing, was closed for the
J u l y 4 holiday, and her
roommate was in the hospital.
Miss Hopkins carried no identification
at the time of the
accident.
The daughter of Paul and
Judy Hopkins of Huntsville,
Miss Hopkins was elected and
• served as the 1984-85 Plainsman
editor. She was a
; member of Zeta Tau Alpha
; sorority and also worked as a
J correspondent for The Hunts-
| ville Times.
After earning a bachelor of
•i arts degree in journalism at
; Auburn, Miss Hopkins
; worked as a reporter for the
v Monroe Journal in Monro-
\ eville. She went on to work in
\ public relations for a bank in
Denver before joining Ox-
- moor Publishing in Birmingham.
She moved to
-. Manhattan last January as
' an assistant editor for Random
House Publishers.
•: "The Auburn Plainsman
' was always important to
!; Lynne," said Ed Williams,
' Plainsman adviser. "Even
when she came to the newspaper
office to work as a
freshman, her goal was to
someday be editor. After she
graduated, she kept in touch
with what was happening
here at The Plainsman. We
had an extremely close staff
the year that Lynne was editor,
and all of us are goingito I
miss her."
So close was the staff that
Jack Simms, head of the journ
a l i sm department, estimated
that approximately 16
members of Miss Hopkin's
staff were present at the July
11 services at the Holy Spirit
Catholic Church in Huntsville.
Former Plainsman Business
Manager Tommy Wof-ford,
who served as one of six
pallbearers at the funeral,
attributed the closeness of the
staff to Miss Hopkins. "I
always felt that there was no
difficulty that would come up
that she couldn't deal with
immediately. I had great confidence
in her abilities.
"Her leadership lended
itself to developing a very
tight-knit staff."
Miss Hopkins was buried at
V a l h a l l a Cemetery in an
adjoining suburban area. She
is survived by her parents,
three brothers and a sister, all
of Huntsville.
The Plainsman feels a great
loss for Lynne who has shown
tremendous leadership in her
professional and personal
life. We extend our heartfelt
condolences to her family and
friends.

some satifaction) that we civilians
would never understand.
Our first order of business was
to set up camp and eat supper.
We S.C.W.s (Sissy Civilian
Wimps) were also warned that we
would be held prisoner until the
campground was cleaner than we
found it. Toward this end, we
were provided with G.B.L.s (Garbage
Bags—Large).
Once that was over, I was
readv for adventure. However,

after some P.S.H. (pea-sized hail),
the weather cleared up, and we
would not be required to kill wild
game with our bare hands or
catch snakes.
So we gathered firewood. A
friend and I went t6 the other side
of the pond looking for wood. As
we looked back upon our little
tent community, he commented
that our campsite looked like that
of Hobbits on their way to destroy
the Ring. I replied that while the
Hobbits endured many hardships
on their journey to Mordor,
they never had to hear The Cure
and the Jesus and Mary Chain
blaring from a neighboring tent.
As the night wore on, I became
impatient for some life-threatening
wilderness hardship.
I "wanted to tear down my
tent and make a lean-to out of
twigs and leaves. I wanted to put
out my campfire and restart it
with a magnifying glass.
Luckily for me, the person with
whom I shared a tent and a
campfire stopped me by reminding
me that since it was dark, we
might have a tough time starting
a fire that way.
But I didn't have to wait long
for my first R.W.H. (Real Wilderness
Hardship), however. Yes,
nature called. I looked around for
the bathhouse. Not finding one, I
started looking behind the trees
for Port-O-Potties. Nope.
It dawned on me then that I
would have to settle for an S. W.P.
(Spot in the Woods—Private)..
But after that adventure, I
again became bored. This was too
easy. We could cook hamburgers
on a grill. Most of us had tents to
sleep in. I wanted to Be All That I
Can Be.
Fishing was out of the question
— my tentmate woke up as I was
stealing a lock of hair for my
homemade fishing lure. I had
also left my Bo Duke belt-mounted
buck knife at home.
Teasing snakes to practice
snakebite treatment was also
tough; I couldn't find any. (Just
like cops — when you want 'em,
they're never around.)
I was desperate. The only thing
left was for me to try out the first-aid
techniques I had learned, but
I would need some help with this
one. I stole into my friend's tent
and gave him a P.S.F. (painful
simple fracture) and then applied
a splint.
Madcap hilarity ensued at 5
a.m. when we were roused (as if!
ever went to sleep) by the drill
sergeant. Imagine my friend's
surprise when he tried to fall in
for roll call and found that his leg
was broken...
After roll call and several
attempts at cleaning up the
campsite to Sarge's satisfaction,
we were released, some to our own
beds to hibernate all day, some to
Florida for house party. ' '.
Of course, those going to house
party would soon get an opportunity
to test their ability to deal
with real wildlife.
Rush a humiliating experience for some
The time of year I dread most is
almost upon us. Once again,
Auburn's greeks are gearing up
for that ever-festive occasion:
sorority rush.
Everybody says they hate it. I
even hear greeks complaining
about it. And yes, I know it must
be rough to stand around all week
in somebody's couch upholstery,
judging people suffering from
icewater overdose on ho w we'l
they shook their pompons in high
school.
But I hate it for a different
reason.
I hate_.it .for the hundreds of.
girls who are going to be cut out of
rush because there isn't a place
for them.
I know. I was one of them. In
September of 1985 I was cut on
Squeal Day. It is a fact I am
neither particularly proud nor
ashamed of. But even now,
almost four years later, it can still
make me wince to think about it.
If I sound bitter, then so be it. I
got over my disappointment and
even managed to maintain a
serious relationship without a
candlelight service. I was urged
to rush again but refused, preferring
to remain a member of the
great unwashed.
To me, it's not bitterness I feel,
but sympathy.
That kind of rejection is a slap
in the face for the hundreds of
girls pouring into Auburn each
year who find themselves humiliated
before school even starts.
I don't care how self-confident
you are, it's still a humiliating
experience.
Some people in Auburn's Pan-hellenic
Council are waking up to
the problem and trying to help.
An effort to revise the quota system
so at least every girl coming
through rush would have a place
to pledge was voted down.
Obviously, those championing
this cause were not met with,
much enthusiasm, but I have
great respect for their efforts.
They are on the inside, trying to
Assistant
Features Editor
DANA
ROBERTS
help others get in: a rare
occurrence.
However, Panhellenic has
accepted a new sorority on campus
which will begin admitting
members this fall. At least it will
make room for more girls.
^Sdmfftrfsthe comments I hear
from greeks about these changes
have brought me great amusement
and disgust.
Some are worried about the
exclusiveness of their membership.
They say if they let more
people in, it won't be as "special."
With attitudes like that, I'm sure
we could wipe out American
democracy in just a few short
weeks.
Think about the hundreds of
girls who want fun and friends,
many of whom are leaving home
for the first time, looking for
security at a college famous for
friendly people.
They're not going to find it.
They don't know how rush
works. They don't understand it's
just tough luck. They don't know-how
badly they've wanted it until
they're told they can't have it.
"You'll be fine," said my rush
counselor. "Being greek isn't
everything."
How comforting. And I'm sure
it's just a startling coincidence all
rush counselors are greek.
What did she really know about
how I felt?
Yes, I know what you're thinking.
If I'd pledged instead of getting
cut then I'd have gone on my
merry way without a second
thought for any of this.
I would like to think that isnl
true, but I'll never know for surd.
If that had happened, I hope
someone would have made me
think about it.
So I'm telling you, think about
it.
I realize everything isn't black
or white. You can't always
include everybody. Job interviews,
honor societies, scholarships,
etc. are all based on selective
systems. Some things have
to work that way.
But people who have the powt*r
to change things here on campus
need to seriously consider their
selection system for rush. . I
Because for every girl that gets

Haley majors can have the best of both worlds
"Oh, her? She's just a liberal
arts major."
I overheard someone make this
snide remark as he walked past
2370 Haley Center during a particularly
crowded drop-and-add
session.
Maybe it was the weather or
the aggravation of schedule
adjustment, but the statement
peaked my curiousity not to mention
my animosity.
Is there a line drawn on this
campus designating a proper or
improper major? If there is, then
we are all in a spot of trouble.
There are those of us on this
planet who were not born and
raised to worship the almighty
numeral. I respect those who find
this task easy, and all I ask is
some respect in return.
To me, if there's a lack of
respect, it's due to a thorough
understanding or a complete lack
of it.
I don't understand why Special
Relativity works, but it does work
and it does solve a problem. I
respect the person who can utilize
it. In the same respect, knowledge
of history, language or literature
can solve a less concrete problem,
Assistant
News Editor
SARAH
HICKS
but it is a problem just the same.
And that is where the worth of a
liberal arts education lies.
A liberal arts education
encourages me to find out what
makes thing tick and why. Isn't
that what any education should
do? There's nothing mechanical
or systematic about this curiosity,
but there are plenty of living
things that are not of a mechanical
nature.
I've been accused of pursuing a
useless education, but this is not
an alternative. I have tried to
pursue other studies, but I soon
found that it was just an interest,
and mere interest doesn't make
life work.
It's been said that an education
system is not worth a great deal if
it teaches people how to make a
living but doesn't teach them
how to make a life.
If we were all put here for different
reasons, it is conceivable to
me that maybe we should take
different paths to get there.
Even the Auburn catalogue
' paints a bleak picture for the liberal
arts major. A simple comparison
with the College of Engineering
and the College of
Liberal Arts is a fine example.
A photograph on page 96
shows three intelligent looking
young men, all wearing glasses,
looking concerned over a project.
The picture conveys an air of
importance and studious intent.
However on page 134 in a picture
representing the liberal arts
student, what do you find? An
attractive girl staring off into
space, completly ignoring a large
textbook in front of her. How
should this be interpreted? Is she,
in fact delving deep for an explanation
of Crime and Punishment
by Dostoevski? I would like to
think so, but I am afraid the
average student and more importantly,
the future Auburn student
might not agree with me.
A further glance at the catalogue
brings an introduction for
each of the schools. The liberal
arts page redds: "In the Collegeof
Liberal Arts, a student can specialize
in a particular field while also
gaining a broad general education."
Sounds exciting, doesn't"it.
The page introducing the curriculum
of engineering reads:
"Engineers in the Eighties aVe
faced with world-wide problems
and expectations awesome -in
responsibility yet exciting as professional
challenges." \
I don't think I am overstepping
myself in saying that the latter
would be more appealing to }in
impressionable student of any
age. :~
I don't understand why I, along
with all the other liberal arts students,
am put in this position.
Believe it or not, there are some
situations with which we are
more apt to cope. Who do you ask
when you're having trouble with
a writing assignment? The friend
who likes to write more thanjie
likes to tinker with numbers. %
The point is that a mathematical
mind and a creative mind can
work together without any problems.
They can, even in the same
head.

Assistant News Editor
• — + 1 ; ~
• Social studies teachers from all
oye* the state have become students
once again in a seminar on
the U.S. Constitution.
; Thirty teachers have gathered
at Auburn University from June

the 1988 Educational Grant Program
sponsored by the Commission
on the Bicentennial of the
Ujnited States Constitution.
\\A,uburn's College of Education

Jj'jthe program grants are the
fjiijt in a line of programs
intended to improve teaching of
th> document itself and to give a
hViier understanding of its principles,
according to Program
&»ijector Emily Melvin.

iii>he Department of Curriculum
eiftii Education, directs the activities?
along with Dr. Edward C.
Williamson, professor emeritus
of the History Department. Mike
Spain, a master teacher from
Opelika Junior High, organizes
the teachers in their daily
programs.
"The program is designed to
instruct the teachers on the Constitution
and give them a forum
to discuss it," Melvin said. The
Constitution is approached from
the judicial and historical angles
by a number of history and political
science authorities from
around the state, according to Dr.
Williamson, who brought most of
the speakers to Auburn.
Speakers include Gov. Guy
Hunt, Chief Justice C.C. "Bo"
Torbert of the Alabama Supreme
Court, Rep. Bill Nichols and Dr.
Robert J. Norrell from the University
of Alabama-Birmingham.
The daily program consists of a
morning presentation by a
speaker followed by an afternoon
workshop given by Melvin and
Spain. Each day's workshop
teaches guidelines for using the
information to teach students.

Students dig up Creek Indian history at Fusihatchee site

L The department of sociology,
anthropology and social work is
located on the second floor of
Haley Center. "We don't get
much exposure here at Auburn,"
Cottier said. "Lots of people don't
know what anthropology is."
Many of the students who
major in anthropology become
interested in it after taking an
introductory course and deciding
this is what they want to do.
There are 11 majors in the
department at present, Cottier
said.

involved in the research at Fusihatchee,
located in the Tallapoosa
River Valley about 12
miles from Montgomery. The
Creek Indians lived there during
the late 1600s and again during
the late 1700s and early 1800s.
"American Indians were having
their own course of history
when the Europeans came," Cottier
said. "We are looking at things
that took place before and after
the Europeans came and how
they learned to adapt to this
change."
The digging at the site is done

Dr. Gregory A. Waselkov, assistant
professor of anthropology at
Auburn, said. He will be going to
the University of South Alabama
to teach in the fall. "There are lots
of pipes found here. It was sort of
a religious custom and friendship
custom to insure a type of
honesty or loyalty, especially
with the English traders when
they came for fur." Waselkov
said.
Of the many pipes that have
been found, "They have a method
where they can measure the size
of a hole in a pipe and get dates
from it." Dale Bedsole, a 1987
Auburn graduate, said. "It's reli-frooooeococoooooooooooftooooooocooooooaoogoo

smaller the hole, he said.
The R & S Materials Gravel
Company owns the land that the
site is located on and allows
Auburn to dig on the part it has
not yet expanded to. The gravel
company plans to destroy the site
in November.
Paula Weiss, a 1987 Auburn
University of Montgomery graduate,
along with Ashley, Bedsole
and Painter, is part of a group of
archaeologists employed by
Auburn to work on the Fusihatchee
site.
Aside from the actual digging,
there is also the water screening
to clean off dirt and the sorting of
artifacts.
"Some jobs here are more exciting
than others," Bedsole said.
He became interested in archaeology
after taking a couple of
classes in the anthropology
d e p a r t m e n t at A u b u r n . "I
wouldn't want to do anything
else as a career. I will probably
stay here until the digging is
over," he said. "I may go to FSU
in the fall to get a master's in
archaeology and eventually get
my doctorate and make the big
money." Ashley began going
out to the site when he was in the

Vreeland's remarks arrogant, egotistic
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am amazed that stupidity is
allowed to run rampant in this
University. J o h n Vreeland's
Column on "the engineering
t y p e s " fully illustrates this
unbelievable phenomenon.
First, I would like to ask Mr.
Vreeland to apologize to the
whole engineering community
for his contemptuous remarks
— it is arrogant and egotistic to
stereotype every student and
professor as unreal humans.
Secondly, if Mr. Vreeland was
at War Eagle cafeteria and he
was an engineer (as I understand),
why did he not offer his
service to thread the cash register's
journal paper through the
spool. Of course, he couldn't
because people would think him
a freak of nature. Maybe he
isn't, I wonder.
I am proud to be an engineering
student and am willing to
sacrifice my time to dedicate
myself to the hard and tedious
curriculum of engineering. It is
truly an extremely challenging
and rewarding profession.
I hope a respectable paper like
this will not have to be shamed
by such a tactless and confused
staff member again.

Help keep R-zone our zone
Editor, The Plainsman:
C-zone is not the only parking
zone becoming extinct on campus.
R-zones are also rapidly
becoming endangered.
R-zones, as described by the
A u b u r n U n i v e r s i t y Police
Department's Traffic and Parking
Regulations, are "for all
students, other than freshmen,
who are living in University
operated dormitories that have
R-zone parking." An R-zone
permit entitles the student who
iives on main campus to drive
on main campus to get to and
from R-zone parking. However,
John Grover, chairman of the
traffic and parking committee,
has pushed "to eliminate all R-zone
space within the core campus.
Thankfully, the student
committee members argued
against the move and President
James E. Martin refused to
implement the recommedation.
This fact first came to light as
the Noble Hall Council's residential
parking committee was
asking for R-zone parking for
their dorm. In the last three
years, all R-zone parking
nearby to Noble Hall has been
either eliminated or rezoned.
Noble Hall is now the only dorm
on campus that does not have
R-zone parking.
So far, the only source of support
for the residential parking
committee has come from Gail
McCullers, director of Auburn
University housing. The committee
has also asked for the
support of the Student Government
Association through its
p r e s i d e n t , Cindy H o l l a n d.
However, so far there has been
no offer of support from the
SGA. We hope that the SGA is
not only concerned with parking
for off-campus apartments,
but also for on-campus dorm
residents. Since there is no
longer any representative of on-campus
housing in either the
Student Senate or the Executive
Cabinet, there is no one else to
address our problem except the
chief executive and the SGA
Senate housing committee
(How many members of those
bodies live on campus?).
This fall Noble Hall residents
will not receive R-zone permits
because their dorm has no R-zone.
This means they will not
even be allowed to use the
dorm's loading zone because
with only a D permit they will
not be permitted to drive on the
main campus during enforcement
hours. We urge that the
administration take immediate
action on the proposals presently
before the parking and
traffic committee. We would
also like to thank another on-campus
resident for his past
and hopefully future support —
President Martin.
Save the R-zone.

Have you hugged an EE today?
Editor, The Plainsman:
I suspect that John Vreeland
wrote his column, "Engineering
types awkward — I know,"
simply for the reader's entertainment.
I do not believe that
he is truly concerned by the
observed and future sociological
implications of an increasing
engineer population on our
campuses and our world. However,
if he is sincere then I would
like to offer some arguments in
the defense of, and some explanation
for, engineers.
First, I introduce a general
principle which is familiar to
most everyone.
"There is no such thing as a
free lunch."
As it applies to individuals, in
general, no one can be good at
everything. If one wants to be a
good boxer, one will have to give
up something: appearance,
intelligence or both. If you want
to be well-versed in the humanities,
then you will have to sacrifice
proficiency in the sciences.
As it applies to this discussion,
if one wants to be good in
engineering, in general, one
must give up some social skills.
Why is this necessary? It's
simple. In engineering, physical
situations and ideas are described
using the language of
mathematics. Students of engineering
spend tremendous
amounts of time converting
ideas into mathematical descriptions
and spend little time
converting ideas into intelligible
English. Eventually, engineers
begin to think and talk
about social situations in a
mathematic-like form. They
lose touch with the thought and
verbal structures that most
people use to communicate
socially. Hence, most engineering
students lose some of the
ability to communicate effectively
on a social level, and
develop social deficiencies.
Please understand that engineers
are just as feeling, caring
and susceptible to emotions as
non-engineers; engineers are
just not as well-equipped to
communicate their feelings.
This means that engineers
often have to keep a lot of their
feelings bottled up. Individual
engineers react to this pressure
d i f f e r e n t l y . Some develop
"serious a t t i t u d e problems;"
some become introverted. Some
deal with it and do just fine.
How does this affect society?
The standard of living in
most of the world has increased
dramatically in the last 100 or
so years. This happened despite
decreasing natural resourses
and increasing world population.
It happened because engineers
have discovered ways to
use our limited resources more
efficiently to supply that growing
population with goods of
greatly improved quality. The
catch is that general society has
to patiently tolerate the existence
of a body of members with
poor social skills. Most people
will agree that the resultant
benefits far outweigh the price
society has to pay.
For economic reasons, there
will always be a high demand
for engineers, but I don't foresee
a time when engineers will dominate
the population. There are
too many necessary roles in
society which require high proficiencies
in communication
skills and other humanities for
that to ever happen. And there
will always be a larger body of
the population who either lack
the ability or the desire to enter
the engineering profession.
Mr. Vreeland, your high
standard of living has been
made possible by the sacrifices
engineers have made. You have
benefitted and will benefit in
the future. Show your appreciation
by showing an engineer
how to use an apostrophe.

Summer brings "winds of change 99
Editor, The Plainsman:
The first summer issue of The
Plainsman revealed that the
"winds of change" had brought
in a new editor(ess) who turns
out to be Paige Oliver. The
second issue confirms it. She is
more interested in past (and
therefore present) issues than in
what may or may not offend the
sensitivities of her readers, the
majority of who call themselves
Southern conservatives. She
shows her approval of Rheta
Grimsley Johnson though she
knows one of her sports writers
will DISAPPROVE!!
Freedom of the press should
make the acceptance of articles
for publication easy for editors.
Maybe not for Sharon Forshee's
on smoking. As pure humor it is
ok, but some of it stretches the
bounds of humor. The idea of
using smoking as a weapon to
defeat the Russians at a time
when we are trying to arrange
detente and treaties with them
seems inappropriate. She, I
think with some seriousness,
would change the way of us
humanitarians (bleeding hearts
in the conservative vernacular).
No, Sharon, our freed energies
will not go toward anti-abortion
rallies. We, rather, will
solve your problem of too many
smokers, plus child abuse and
job shortages, by trying to see
that abortion is easy for those
that don't want children, male
chauvinists and Phyllis Schaf-flys
notwithstanding.

The presence of the

needed to keep order and
to maintain peace.
u
I think we should stay
there to keep the shipping
lanes open. If we aren't
allowed to get even that
small percentage of oil, I
feel there would be a price
increase that would be
damaging to our country.
I think they should
blow Iran off the map.
u
I think we should stay'
there because if we should
part from the Persian
Gulf, we would potentially.
lose a major source of our
country's oil.

SGA Forum
Now ignorance is no excuse
Even though I sincerely hope
you will never be in a position
where you will need to use this
information, it is important
that every student be aware of
and understand the Auburn
University Academic Honesty
Code.
Don't stop reading here. I
know you're thinking, "Oh
Gosh, what a bore!". I will be
brief in doing my part to explain
the code. Please do your part by
reading the code because it is
here to protect and serve us, the
students.
The honesty process begins
with the students. Compromising
our integrity may result in a
lot of time and effort spent by
many people to determine our
innocence or guilt.
A student accused of cheating
has the following rights: First,
the person placing the charge
must attempt to meet with the
student, and also inform the
student in writing of the charge.
The faculty member may or
may not make a recommendation
of penalty to the Academic
Honesty Committee.
Second, the student will
receive notice from the vice
president of academic affairs of
the right to a hearing. If the student
waives that right, the
committee will make 'its decision
based on the evidence provided
and on written statements
from the student and
from the instructor. Neither the
i n s t r u c t o r nor the student
appear in person.
If a student desires a hearing,
a written request must be made
to the office of the vice president
SGA President
CINDY
HOLLAND
of academic affairs within five
working days after receiving
notice of the right to a hearing.
This is the student's chance to
• prove his innocence. A hearing
allows a student the important
opportunity to present evidence
in person. This is of vital importance
to the Academic Honesty
Committee because the student
can clarify any evidence or
answer questions helpful to the
committee in making a recommendation
to t he vice president
of academic affairs.
The committee will hear both
sides and decide if the charge
against the student is valid.
According to the policy, "The
burden of proof rests with the
charging party, and will be satisfied
by any clear and convincing
evidence in the record considered
as a whole." In other
words, the student is innocent
until proven guilty.
If the student is proven guilty,
the committee seeks to provide
penalty recommendations that
are fair and broadly consistent
with past actions. If the student
is present at the hearing, the
committee will tell the student,
unless the student requests otherwise,
of the penalties it will
recommend to the vice president
of academic affairs. The vice
president of academic affairs
has the authority to raise or
lower penalties or return the
case to the committee if additional
evidence is found after
"the initial hearing.
If the student wishes to
appeal the decision of the vice
president of academic affairs;
the student must appeal in writing,
giving a full statement of
facts and the argument for
appeal to the president of thq
University within five working
days after receiving notifica^
tion of the imposed penalties. •
The student must also send a
copy of the appeal and support1
ing evidence to the vice presi:
dent of academic affairs, who
will in turn notify the Academic
Honesty Committee and' the
charging party that an appeal
has been requested. Both
faculty and student may appeal
a decision. The president will
consider an appeal and any
responses. His decision is th'e
final action of Auburn University.
*
This brief overview is not
meant to substitute for the
knowledge to be gained from
reading the Academic Honesty
Policy. The code can be found o/i
pages 102-104 in the Tiger Cub;.
The code is here to protefrt
you, the student, from being
wrongly penalized and to see
proper action is taken if a student
is found guilty. The policy
is fair, but carries certain
responsibilities. If the student is
unaware of his rights, he may or
may not take proper actions to
defend himself, complicating
the process and jeopardizing a
good academic record. >

Childhood
changed
over years
A&i: Editor
SHARON
FORSHEE
When I was a child, my father
put a tire swing in our back
yard.
He took an old tire with the
silver radial threads showing
through, wrapped a rusted towing
chain around it and hung it
on a low limb of a gnarled, leafy
oak.
The tree stood on the crest of a
hill so you would climb to the
top. If you were small, you
would simply crawl inside the
tire and hang on to the sides. If
you were bigger, you would sit
on top of the tire, grasp the
chain and let go with your feet.
And flying you'd go, twisting
and turning, careening toward
the earth with the grass moving
swiftly below your feet and feeling
a bit dizzy if you looked
down or let your head roll back.
You would swing and swing
until the tire lost its momentum
and finally simply turned and
twisted as you rested with your
chin against the rough metal.
Perhaps you would then wipe
the rust particles from your
hands where you had clutched
the chain and go inside, a bit
tired from swinging and play, to
make pretend popsicles by pouring
orange juice or cherry Kool-
Aid into those blue ice trays
(nobody had ice makers then)
and stick tooth picks in the center.
And probably, while waiting
for this treat to freeze, you
would watch TV.
But you- wouldn't"sitrghied to
He-Man Masters of the Universe
with $94 worth of Skeleton
etc. plastic action figures
and Castle Grayskull by your
side and later try to get them to
fly (which they never will) as
they do on the show.
And you also wouldn't have
perched in front of the goody-goody
TV fantasy land of My
Pretty Poriy where tiny cartoon
girls with bright blue eyes and
flaxen hair romp gaily with
purple-spotted ponies with long
popsicle-pink and blueberry
colored tresses. Sounds like
some sort of LSD trip, eh?
I mean how much can you do
with eight gruesome muscle-hound
plastic heroes who
already have 10-page pamphlets
on their past conquests
and accomplishments? Children
would have to be pretty
creative to come up with something
new for them to ride in,
wear or conquer.
Who wants to dig a cave in the
backyard and line it with pine
needles for Skeletor and his
cohorts when they have the veritable
mansion, Castle Grayskull.
complete with 17 rooms,
cars, elevators and a ray-beam
on top? Children simply can't
cope...who could?
I'rettv Pony? What haDoened
to dolls or Barbies? I guess they
bad to come up with something
new, but have you ever tried to
make a dress out of left-over
green Christmas felt for a
horse? Not likely.
What's the background of
these toys? TV, of course. But
what did our generation's TV
watching produce?
We had Batman and Robin
with "pow!" and "zap!" flashed
across the screen. Anybody
could dress up as the dynamic
duo using common bath towels
md there wasn't some plastic
bat cave (to my knowledge) to
contend with either. You could
drape an old sheet over the jungle
gym and have a perfectly
respectable bat cave any day.
Look at The Brady Bunch —
sure their parents never fought
or anything — but they were
still realistic in many respects.
When Bobby and Cindy tried to
break the world record for sees
a w i n g , you might have
thought. "Gee, maybe I..." and
roped your little brother or sister
to the see-saw for the day.
There was hope here, and you
could relate. C h i l d r e n ' s TV
today is too much fantasy, too
much hype and for the most
part doesn't inspire or induce

Music, art, crafts provide 'something different'
By K e l l y C h a p m a n and
R i c h a r d Kirby
A s s i s t a n t A & E E d i t o rs
The music was loud, the
S audience was sweaty, and above
fall, the night was hot. It made
'sense then that the first Pepsifest
was held in an old blast furnace.
Carnival Season, Love Tractor,
• Alex Chilton and Drivin 'n' Cryin
played to a crowd of about 1800
people at Birmingham's Sloss
Furnace Friday night. Even the
heat couldn't keep the crowd
away.
"It's music, beer and shopping
all in one," Leigh Nichols, 04 IE,
said. "What else could you
want?"
The crowd was relatively disinterested
throughout the first half
of the show. Birmingham's own
Carnival Season and Athens-
I based Love Tractor did little but
5 provide background music for
i what could best be described as a
I huge social event. But when Chil-
I ton took the stage all of that
il changed and the rest of the evening
was pure rock 'n' roll.
Chilton played his bare-bones
] music well, covering songs like
"Volare" and "Little GTO," along
with his own originals. On tour to
cover his first album in seven
years, Chilton played to the
j crowd, getting them to sing
along.
Chilton's sparse backup consisted
of only a bass player and
I'lninHman Files
Local Birmingham artists had their work on display at the Festival at Sloss
drummer, but disproved the theory
that there is strength in
numbers, especially when it
comes to down-home rock.
On the other band. Drivin 'n'
Cryin pushed forth its brand of
h a r d - e d g e d , c o u n t r y - t i n g ed
power rock with abandon. The
five-man band came across as if
it knew what the crowd wanted,
and was ready, willing and able
to give it to them.
On the down side of things.
Love Tractor did not live up to
expectations, partly because the
crowd paid little or no attention
to the band's hour and 15 minute
set. Even if the crowd had been
interested, it wouldn't have made
much difference. Love Tractor
seemed to be as bored and lethargic
as the audience.
Artists and craftsmen added to
the festival atmosphere of the,
concert. People were selling tie-dye
shirts and woven bracelets,-
and local artists had their work'
on display. The addition of the
artists and craftsmen was almost
an afterthought, concert organizer
Jay Wilson said. It was a.
chance for them to show off their
work, he said.
Quetzal Imports sold Guatemalan
pulseras, a type of woven
bracelet.
"We bring them from Guatem-ela,
sell them here and send the
money back to a lawyer who buys!
land for poor Guatemalan lanr
downers. Approximately 5 perr
cent of the population owns 90-95
percent of the land there," a
salesman said.
"The pulseras are made by
Guatemalan women," he ex-'
plained.
The reason for the Pepsifest
was to get smaller bands out of
the club scene, Wilson said. Most
bands, he said, don't have anywhere
to go between small-time
club dates and larger, arena-type
shows. This was the in-between
spot. "We were going to try something
different for Birmingham,"
Wilson said. He said he hopes
Pepsifest will become an annual
event.

Innovative

By S h a r o n F o r s h ee
A & E E d i t or
"I have made drawings and
paintings all of my life. They
have been my way of understanding
the world around me" —
Mary Nicholl Burnham, artist.
Burnham's artwork will be
featured at Behind the Glass July
14 - Aug. 20. "After raising three
sons, I reentered the art world,
this time as my own boss," Burn-ham
said.
In this show, Burnham has
worked predominantly with
charcoal, graphite, bamboo and
pastels. "One body of work is
more abstract or conceptual than
the other," Burnham said.
Works such as "Celesta" and
"Gray Tangrams" use bamboo
sticks arranged on folded paper.
"The sticks and paper have been
painted and arranged in hues of
graded tone to produce an illusion
of brilliance," Burnham
said. These works are abstract
color studies.
Burnham's other body of work
is more realistic. "By drawing
with pastels and a graphite pencil,
I have arranged some leaves
on a piece of paper," Burnham
said. "In other words, they are
some studies of some things I saw
and arranged with lines and
graded tones on paper."
"Where or When" uses pastels
whereas "All by Myself" utilizes

graphite and pastels. Burnham
said the message she tries to convey
in her work is that there is
always something wonderful
nearby to see, study or arrange
which is a never-ending source of
inspiration.
"It is my hope that someone
else will enjoy looking through
my eyes," Burnham said.
Burnham has studied at John
Hopkins Medical School in the
art department as applied to medicine,
where she received a three-year
certificate. She has also studied
at the Lake Erie College for
Women, Cleveland School of Art
and the University of Alabama
at Birmingham.

A s s i t a n t A & E E d i t or
Birmingham's 10th anniversary
Summerfest opened Monday
with the Broadway musical
West Side Story.
West Side Story is based on the
book by Arthur Laurents, and the
musical was written by Leonard
Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim
and Jerome Robbins. Many critics
consider it the modern version
of Romeo and Juliet. In the story
Tony and Maria, two young lovers,
try to bridge the hatred
between their gangs, the Jets and
the Sharks.
Ray Benson will s t a r in the role
of Tony. "This is by far my favorite
musical play," he said. "It's a
great story with lots of song and
dance.
"It's also fun to be back home
from New York City." Benson
had the leading role in a Broadway
production of Singin' in the
Rain and was also on Broadway
in Michael Bennett's Dreamgirls.
Benson performed in the first

Playing the role of Maria will
be Kristi Tingle who is with
Summerfest for her sixth season.
She is currently on call-back for a
^role in the Broadway revival of
the Martin and Blane musical
Meet Me in St. Louis. Tingle has
also had major roles in the University
of Alabama at Birmingham's
Town and Gown Theatre,
including Call Me Madam, Evita
and The Best Little Whorehouse
in Texas.
West Side Story will be directed
by James Hatcher. "I enjoy working
with the young, people who
are involved with it," he said.
"It's exciting to find young
people with talent and give them
an opportunity to develop it. I feel
it's degrading for someone to
have to make a living at something
they don't enjoy, so it's nice

RICHARD
KIRBY
What a w a s t e . All of t h e women
p e r f o r m i n g music these days,
am! most of it i s n ' t worth a d a r n.
Whatever happened to t h e good
bie days? J a n i s Joplin, (trace
Slick...those were women who
t n e w what music was about.
w So w h a t do we h a v e t o d a y ? Tiff
a n y . And a host of o t h e r s t h at
make m i n d l e s s pop music for t he
m a s s e s , all to richen their pock-etbooks.
I t ' s truly sad. Let's t a ke
a' look at each of these vvomen>
who d e t r a c t from music a n d the
way it should be:
—Tiffany. Geez, w h a t a brat.
'Not only does s h e not write her
own hits, she destroys good
. s o n g s . Anybody t h a t did what
s h e did to t h e B e a t l e s ' "I S aw Her
- S t a n d i n g There " should be shot.
No. better, they should be forced
to l i s t en to some of T i f f a n y ' s original
songs.
And what about t h a t deal with
•iTer mother?-Just because Tiffany
"has made more money t h a n most
r e g u l a r non-star types will ever
make, she shouldn't have the
right to be released from the custody
of her mother. Make Tiff
Vvait for all those bucks until
s h e ' s 21.
—Cher. She should h a v e stuck
with Sonny. At least he seems to
h a v e faded a w a y q u i e t l y i n t o t he
world of e x - s t a r s . But not Cher.
No. she spends $40,000 to have
tier body redone a n d h a s a boyfriend
half her age. And t h e n she
wears those ridiculous outfits.
And on top of it all, her music
s t i n k s .
S t a y i n g with Sonny would
h a v e been the best t h i n g Cher
could ever h a v e done. Or maybe
s h e s h o u l d j u s t s t i c k to b e i n g an
a c t r e s s . I t ' s t h e age-old Bo Jackson
dilemma, but Bo is good at
both t h i n g s he does.
—Debbie Gibson. Oh Lord, let
t h e girl g r ow up a n d get married
so s h e ' l l s t o p c a p i t a l i z i n g on t h at
Ail-American c u t e n e s s . Ugh! I t 's
e n o u g h to make you want to
puke. I r e a d a letter to t h e editor
in Spin magazine p r a i s i n g Debbie
for b e i n g a n u p s t a n d i n g role
model for y o u n g women all over
t h e world.
Yeah, r i g h t . If Debbie Gibson's
example ever caught on. we'd
h a v e a world full of mall-w
a n d e r i n g be-bops that don't
c a r e a b o u t a n y t h i n g except
c l o t h e s , c a r s and c u t e n e s s.
T h e r e ' s e n o u g h people like t h a t in
t h e world already. Maybe she
should be t h e poster child for the
" J u s t S a y No" g e n e r a t i o n.
And what about the nasty
rumor t h a t Debs w r i t e s her s o n gs
from her life experiences? Ha!
The girl j u s t g r a d u a t e d from high
school. She doesn't have any
experience yet. What kind of
experience could she have? Wild
p a r t i e s while out on the road?
So t h e r e ' s not much hope for
women in t h e Top 40. But a few
women stand out and shine
b r i g h t l y . S i n e a d O ' C o n n o r,
S u z a n n e Vega. Tracy C h a p m an
a n d the new-and-improved Patti
S m i t h a r e all e x a m p l e s of women
t h a t h a v e made significant cont
r i b u t i o n s to progressive music
lately, but t h e y ' l l never overcome
t h e s e t b a c k s t h a t s h a l l ow a r t i s ts
such a s Tiffany have created.
At least a s long a s these new
women of rock keep making
music, t h e r e ' s still a glimmer of
hope.
Hope, if not of t a k i n g over t he
c h a r t s , t h e n at least of h a v i ng
Tiffany repent.

The p r o g r a m , directed b y J a n e t

Music! Music!" then continued
with t h e u p b e a t "Fly Me to the

The mellow tune "September

show. T h e peaceful atmosphere
of the Pebble Hill v e r a n d a at

t h e i r beautiful rendition of the

Spirited versions of "Are You

REEL REVIEW
License to Drive: teen flick crashes, burns
Plainsman Kilt
Corey Haim and friends in trouble in License to Drive
License to Drive
Litchfield Cinemas
If Greg Beeman is truly
responsible for the majority of
the content of this movie, then
someone needs to seriously consider
revoking his license to
direct.
"Some guys get all the brakes,"
quips the slogan in the movie's
print ads. How original. A more
appropriate idea would be for you
to locate and use the brakes of
your own car before heading out
to see this flick.
It is a tiresomely typical teen-in-
trouble plot lacking the flair of
Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the
suspense of Risky business.
Corey Haim, who played an
entirely convincing and charming
underdog in Lucas, is Les
Anderson, a bored high school
student lusting for his driver's
license and a girl named
Mercedes.
Les has a quick, lopsided grin
and a clean, fresh-faced look of
innocence, but his character is
watered down. He is neither too
geeky nor too cool, and it might
have been more fun had he
played one or the other to the hilt.
ing together. He steals grandpa's
Cadillac as dad and a grossly
pregnant i mom with a mashed
potato fetish snore blissfully.
Mercedes gets thoroughly
drunk and passes out, at which
point Les and friends deposit her
in the trunk, setting a wonderful
It is a tiresomely typical teen-in-trouble
plot lacking the flair of Risky Business
And yes, the girl's name is
really Mercedes.
With her, some difficulty
arises. She dresses like a come-hither
callgirl, drinks heavily,
has no apparent adult supervision
whatsoever and dates some
mid-twenties-looking, foreign
man named Paolo. Yet she
attends Les' high school. Right.
Les gets a date with her
(another unbelievable fact), and
the two spend an eventful even-example
for teenagers everywhere.
But before she is disposed of,
Les' friend Dean (Corey Feld-man)
grabs a camera, pulls down
her dress and takes pictures of
her naked. This is by far the most
warped part of the movie and a
terrible thing to make light of.
Neither Dean nor Les' other
friend Charles (Michael Mahas-seri)
display any personality at
all. Periodically they exclainj in
unison things like "Wow. man,
like this is so cool," andljaie
mainly just along for the ride.
There is also a little incident
with the police, who discover Les
is driving with no credentials,but
a school bus pass. He had failed
the written part of his driver's
test, a little fact he forgot to rhen-tion
to anybody. The police let
him go, along with a drunk driver
they had pulled off the road.
The drunk steals Les' car and
proceeds to smash every road
block and ramp every hill in the
area. After the damage has been
done, Dean laughs and says
See DRIVE, page B-4
Connery wanders in Frisco moss
The Presidio
Carmike Cinemas
• * *
After seven lukewarm portrayals
of James Bond, Sean Connery
has finally found some showcases
for his skill as an actor.
Unfortunately, The Presidio is
not one of them.
This contemporary action /
drama centers around a murder
on the 1400-acre military compound
situated at the base of the
Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Provost marshal Lt. Col.
Alan Caldwell (Sean Connery)
and SFPD inspector Jay Austin
(Mark Harmon) are called in to
investigate the crime, only to
clash over their shared past when
Austin was an MP under Caldwell's
command.
To make matters worse, Austin
becomes romantically involved
with the ^Gbloniftfs ' daughter
Donna (Meg Ryan), a free spirit
and closet exhibitionist who
would not consider shirking from
her self-conceived duty to irritate
her father as much as possible.
The movie has a certain
amount of action. There are
night-time car chases through
the hilly suburbs of San Francisco
complete with muffler-crunching
car landings, gratuitous
spark displays and over-zealous
police.
There are daytime foot chases
through an ethnic, uptown center,
ending in the inevitable "Yellow
Trans Am Out of Nowhere"
which kills the escaping prisoner
just before he can get caught and
spill his gutsy story to the
fatigued and defeated inspector
Austin.
There are gunfights at OK corral
in which the bad guys all die,
the good guys live, and the riot-son,^
good but ever-so-repentant guys
have time to sacrifice themselves
for the white hats and earn their
place in the good side of the
cemetery.
Besides the rough-and-tumble
car chases, though, there is
another type of action altogether.
A love scene on the hood of a car
tries to set the tone for the heady
relationship between Donna and
the inspector as being some type
of passionate love story, but in
that regard it fails dismally.
So The Presidio, then, is not
perfect. Its action sequences lack
originality, and it's plot lacks
enthusiasm. Happy endings
grow on trees, but there are no
trees in The Presidio, just a thick
blanket of green moss.

Supper recalls bygone era
• The University Theatre's production
of Sing for Your Supper,
with its host of popular Broad-
Way tunes, made theatergoers
yearn for an era gone by.
J The group brought to life the
show tunes of Richard Rodgers
and, Lorenz Hart for two hours of
music and dancing. Even those
Unfamiliar with the music of this
lime couldn't help but be
entertained.
• Sing for Your Supper was presented
in the Telfair Feet Theatre
Upstairs which is much smaller
than the mainstage theatre. The
•Unique closeness of the actors to
the audience made the costumes
;and_ facial movements easier to
•see and thus more effective.
Audience members could
.'clearly see all characters and
[were brought into the action as
[participants. l)uring"Herein My
•Arms." soloist Cathy Webb even
Iran up and kissed an audience
[riiember.
; The scene design by Kd Zuck-
'erman of purple shimmering curtains
and silver trim was festive,
.yet simple enough to compliment
Ithe'tone of the presentation. It
[provided a perfect backdrop for
;the black, floor-length . dresses
•and tuxedoes worn by members
•in Act I.
| Act I opened with the upbeat
["Jupiter Forbid" and flowed
•along through such Broadway
'hits as "Falling In Love With
!Love," with Steve Heron and
[Beverly Wright. "Little Girl Blue"
[was sung by Julie Johnson.
1 Heron and Don Garrettdonned
•'20s type hats and joined Wright
• and Karen Lamb in sequined
[headbands for a rendition of
;"The Girl Friend."
; In "How About It," Heron,
'Larry Salter, Joe Cox and
'Michael Sims donned colorfully-
' striped jackets and flirtingly
sang to Wright. Sims also acted
as a narrator for most of the
show, telling background information
as well as humorous
anecdotes about Rodgers and
Hart.
C h r i s t i e Bryant provided
background organ music throughout
the first and second acts and
in the first act sang a memorable
version of "It Never Entered My
Mind."
Act I ended with full company
powerfully singing "I Gotta Get
Back To New York" and an all
time favorite "Manhattan."
After a 15-minute intermission
in which audience members were
invited to view the watercolor
paintings of Muir Stewart in the
Upstairs Gallery, the company of
Sing for Your Supper changed
into more casual costuming for
the second act.
Costume designer Lois Garren
had females all wearing different
short dresses in the style of the
time, ranging from solid black, to
black- and white-flowered print.
Male members changed to bone-colored
jackets for a more casual
look.
Sims and Webb paired for a
duet of the love song "Any Old
Place With You" while all male
members teamed up with dark
glasses for the classic "Great Big
Town (Chicago)."
. The cast members sang their
way through songs of love, hate
and marriage. They ended with a
reprise of "Jupiter Forbid," complete
with dance steps and an
energetic "Sing for Your Supper."
Sing for Your Supper was a
suprisingly tight, well-rehearsed
presentation directed by Dr.
Ralph Miller. Summer quarter
will certainly be enhanced by the
theatre's summer season and
theatergoers can look forward to
two more light comedies.
The presentation's remaining
dates are July 1&N16 at 8 p.m. As
tickets were sold out for the first
two presentations, theatergoers
may wish to make telephone reservations
to assure seating. Reservations
can be made bv calling

DRIVE
continued from B-3
"Friends don't let friends drive
drunk," sarcastically. This
movie is aimed at the young,
which is sad because it contains
no worthwhile message. It scoffs
at actions that have serious consequences
in reality.
Overall, the plot consists
mainly of "Can Les get the car
home in one piece without dad
finding out?" and the character
development is completely nonexistent.
These people are stereotypes
of irresponsible teenagers
with an epicurean mind set.
The whole movie can best be
described as "crash and burn."

creativity but rather stifles and
curtails it.
Sure, there are some worthy
shows. Sesame Street. Mr.
Rogers and Bugs Bunny reruns
to name a few, but most are
tripe. And why does this matter?
Because endless hours of
this mush is poured into children's
minds and makes a lifelong
impression.
Look at your own life. I bet
most people can sit down with
friends and spend hours saying,
"Remember when Gilligan
found those radioactive seeds
that enabled everyone to read
one another's minds?" or
"Remember when Marsha
Brady got kissed by Desi Arnez
Jr. and said she'd never wash
her face again?" or "Remember
when Bobby Brady sold that
hair tonic that made Greg's hair
turn orange right before graduation?"
Face it, these TV shows are
ingrained in most people's
minds. It worries me that 10
years down the road the children
of today are going to be saying,
"Remember when Skeletor
crushed He-Man at the Battle of
Never-Ending Turmoil" or
"Remember when Strawberry
Shortcake entered a muffin-baking
competition and lost?"
If this is the case, I don't
know. At any rate, I feel pretty
thankful for my childhood, but
I'm not so sure 'of children's
today. How many children even
have tire swings today?
I loved my tire swing until fat
Jamie from next door got on it
while holding his German Shepherd
and the chain popped
sending Jamie, the dog and the
tire tumbling down the hill.
But the chain still hangs from
the tree, clanking on windy
days and the bark has grown up
over it. Now it is part of the tree.

HOW TO BUY A DIAMOND
There are three approaches to
buying a fine diamond, or an
exceptional piece of diamond
jewelry:
I There is (he old fashioned
was ol looking for a ring until you
find one vou like. If it's in vour
price range. bu> it. enjoy it.
and never look back.
2. Buy from a discount operation.
It's probably been priced
much more than its worth, .but
then vou can buv it for 50 per cent
off.
3. Learn something about diamonds.
Learn about the cutting,
color, perfection and weight. Use
a microscope and know what to
look for. See a set of "Master
Color Stone"... and decide which
color will best fit your needs.
Select your unmounted diamond
and then select the exact ring for
the diamond.
At Wares we are more than
willing to take the time to explain
about diamonds.. yes. we believe
#3 is best. If you do find the
subject of diamonds interesting
.. .and you would like to get the
best possible in a diamond, here
are a few facts which we present
as a service to you.
What color is a diamond?
Diamonds come in all colors...
pale blue, dark blue, yellow, pink,
green. The famous Hope diamond
is a dark blue. But these colors
arc called "fancies" and are quite
rare and expensive.
The most prized diamonds to
many are the colorless, or pure
white diamonds. Most diamonds
have a very faint tinge of some
color.. .usually vellow. WHAT
COLOR SHOULD YOURS BE?
That's up to you. You may feel
you prefer the very finest color...
But it will cost more than a
diamond with a slight color in it.
We have a set of "certified"
diamonds.. .examples of each
color to assist you in understanding
this important point in
selecting a diamond. Once you
have seen all grades you will
better understand color grading
.. .and you will probably be able
to select the grade diamond that
you would prefer comparing
appearance and price.
What Shape is a Diamond?
Any shape. But there arc six
shapes you see more of than
others: Brilliant, Marquise, Oval,
Emerald Cut, Pear and Hcan
Shape. The Brilliant cut, as \ •"
know, is also called a Round
diamond.

Brilliant
D I D SOMEBODY SAY
"FLAWLESS?"

How Big is a Diamond?
A diamond's si/e is measured
by its weight — in carats. There
arc 142 carats in an avoirdupois
ounce. Carats are divided into
points — 100 points to the carat.
So a 52-point diamond is just over
half a carat.
But:
a brilliant cut diamond of I carat
will appear to most people to be
bigger than an emerald cut
diamond of the same weight!
Oval and marquise cuts also tend
to seem a little larger per carat.
You might think that a 2-carat
stone would cost less per carat
than a I -carat diamond (because,
after all, a 2-pound loaf of bread
doesn't cost twice as much as a
I-pound loaf). But that is not the
case. Because size itself is a rarity-factor.
There arc far, far fewer
2-carat stones in existence than
I-carat stones — and they cost a
good deal more than tiwee as
much .is ' carat stones of similar
quality "i other respect'.
its own
a tiny
addition by nature which makes
one diamond unlike any other in
the world.
How Well Is It Cut?
Not all diamonds are cut to the
perfection of those shown in the
pictures. Fine diamonds, however,
are. The cutting and
faceting is for the purpose of
making (he most of the diamond's
ability to reflect and refract light
— to dazzle the beholder, as fine
diamonds have since time immemorial
Is that ail there is to know about
Diamonds?
Not at all. What should a
guarantee cover when one purchases
a diamond. (Remember to
always get in writing the weight,
color, perfection, future'trade in
value, and a chart to show
identification features in a diamond).
How about the mounting
after selecting the diamond
it's now THE important part. At
Wares we offer over 400 styles by-

come to Wares for a chat about
diamonds. We answer questions
honestly. We are proud of our .10
years in the American Gem
Society. We have the equipment
needed to properly grade diamonds.
We always have the lime

At Wares we recommend that
one never purchase a diamond
without having the opportunity to
first sec the diamond under a

William F. Buckley Jr.
William F. Buckley Jr. plunged
into the world of opinion in 1951
with the publication of God and
Man at Yale; this launched a
career that gained him the status
a
