Dean of Business to leave Plains Aug. 31
By Kay Taylor
News Editor
The dean of Auburn's College
of Business, Charles Kroncke.
announced his resignation Mon­day,
effective August 31.
Kroncke will be taking the
position of dean of the School of
Management at the University of
Texas in Dallas.
Kroncke said the decision was
a difficult one to make, but that
an opportunity had arisen in
Texas for both he and his wife.
His wife, Mary, has been study­ing
psychoanalysis in Zurich.
Switzerland, for the past three
years and will continue her clini­cal
training in Dallas.
"It's a chance to rebuild our

I've received...the community really got

— Dean Kroncke
family life again," Kroncke said.
Kroncke said he regrets leav­ing
Auburn both for himself and
the University.
"So often when a dean comes
into a program and stays only a
few years, it sends a negative
message, like 'He didn't want to
stay. What's the matter with that
place?'
"This is not any kind of mes­sage.
The University has been so
supportive of the College of Busi­ness.
We received almost all of
the new faculty appointments.
They've begun work on the new
building. Dr. Brandt worked very
closely with the College, as well
as the business community, and
we received tremendous alumni
support," Kroncke said.
Kroncke said he had become
involved in the community,
working with the Chamber of
Commerce, local business com­munity
and the Governor's office.
The position at the University
of Texas will be vastly different
than Auburn, according to
Kroncke.
"The University of Texas is
mostly a graduate research uni­versity.
The only undergraduates
admitted are juniors and seniors.
The emphasis is on master's and
doctoral degrees. It's a very
intense program." Kroncke said.
President James K. Martin
said Dean Kroncke will be
missed. "We deeply appreciate

Assistant News Editor
A fire damaged about $10,000
worth of equipment, but injured
no one last Tuesday in the ther­mal
systems lab of mechanical
engineering.
The accident occurred when a
generator arced internally, burn­ing
insulation. The lab filled with
rsmofce frdrfrits 20;fdof ceilihg'to
about eight feet off the floor,
according to Dr. Roger Carlson,
who directs the lab.
"We have always been very
safety conscious. Everyone was
out of there in no time," Carlson
said.
The fire department was not
called because the fire was all
internal, according to Carlson.
"It was contained within the gen­erator
and put itself out. There
were no disturbances," Carlson
said.
ME420, thermal systems, is a
senior level course that teaches
students the thermodynamics of
producing energy, according to
Carlson. The steam-powered lab
is a small replica of a power
plant, complete with all the same
components, but which generates
-only^fr kilowatts of-power: •
The lab is required for mechan­ical
engineer's degree. Carlson
plans to continue the class even
though the lab is inoperative.
"I hope the students extract as
much education as possible from
this situation," Carlson said.
"Students get more out of the
experience because they've seen
what can happen and the conse­quences
of it."
Summer enrollment
reaches new high

Parking resolution passed
By Amy Layfield
Staff Writer
The Student Government
Association Student Senate
approved a resolution July 13 in
support of providing Rzone park­ing
spaces for Noble Hall resi­dents
at its second bi-monthly
meeting of summer quarter.
Specifically the resolution calls
for the re-zoning of part of the
Max Morris parking lot from D to
R, and for the creation of a Rzone
loading zone.
"I feel that there's an obvious
need there," SGA president
Cindy Holland said, concerning
the lack of R-zone parking at
Noble Hall. Holland said she "felt
confident that we can work with
the University Police Depart­ment"
for a solution to the
problem.
Holland also indicated her wil­lingness
to do whatever possible
to see the push for the creation of
the spaces through to its fruition.
The Cabinet and Senate also
discussed the summer blood
drive, sponsored by the SGA and
the American Red Cross, to be
held on July 26 and 27 in Haley
Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Stewart Tankersley, secretary
of public relations, said the drive
"will be a great opportunity for
Auburn students to help others,"
and stressed that the "process is
completely sanitary."
Tankersley described summer
as "the biggest drought time for
blood. We need as many people to
donate as possible," to reach the
goal of 500 units.
Auburn has a record summer
enrollment of 9,211 students this
quarter, according to Charles F.
Reeder, director of admissions.
"This is an increase of 205 stu­dents
for summer quarter,"
Reeder said, as compared to last
summer quarter. The largest
enrollments this summer are in
the College of Engineering with
2,023 students, the College of
Liberal Arts with 1,838 and the
College of Business with 1,654,
according to the Office of the
Registrar.
Enrollment totals of each quar­ter
have increased for the past
five years, according to Reeder.
"Students like it here at Auburn,"
he said, adding that Auburn is
getting more students with the
true desire and ability to gradu­ate.
The retention rate, which is
determined by the number of
freshman returning as sopho­mores,
was 84 percent last year,
according to Reeder. "This is 14
percent above the national aver­age,"
Reeder said.
"We are expecting to set
another enrollment record this
fall," Reeder said. Last year,
enrollment was 19,500, he said,
and this fall it is predicted that
Auburn will have between 19,700
and 19,800 students.
"We're just a popular place,"
Reeder said. "We've even had to
deny admission to applicants."
Auburn is unequipped to accom­modate
an unlimited number of
students, he said; therefore, they
have restricted the number of
incoming freshman to 3,200 and
transfer students to 1,700.
Engineers work with paraplegics
By Sarah Hicks
Assistant News Editor
Just like lightbulbs require an
electric current, nerves need to
feel electrical stimulation to
make muscles move.
But some people are unable to
use all or some limbs of their
bodies because of paralysis.
Paraplegics, those who have lost
use of their legs, and quadripleg­ics,
who have lost use of their
upper body as well, are confined
to wheelchairs.
To help these people regain
some of this lost ability is the goal
of Auburn's Dr. Michael Morse,
assistant professor of electrical
engineering, and Dr. Judith
Walker of the Walker Institute in
California. They are building a
tool used to stimulate paralyzed
muscles.
"This is not a wonder toy to get
people out of the wheelchair. We
just want to improve the quality
of these people's lives," said Dr.
Morse.
'We just want to
improve the quality
of these people's
lives.'
— Michael Morse
The device uses functional elec­trical
stimulation (FES) for reha­bilitative
and support purposes.
Dr. Morse stressed that this was
not a new phenomenon, but that
they were using it in a more con-trolled
way. •
For rehabilitation, the device
can be used to build muscle and
maintain circulation within the
body. Paraplegic and quadri­plegic
patients have problems
with circulation and muscle loss
because of disuse.
The tool can also be used as a
northotic or support assistance
device. Separate stimulations are
used to control muscles in a coor­dinated
fashion to assist in
movements resembling walking
or grasping.
Morse and Walker have been
working together for the past
year. "This is the mating of the
medical mind with the engineer­ing
mind," Morse said. "We've
brought a clinical need to engi­neering
design."

MURPHY (U
Haley set for new roof
By S am Thomas
Staff Writer
The leakage problem in Haley
Center will soon come to an end.
as plans are being made to install
a new roof.
The present roof is nearly 20
years old and it's simply worn
out, according to Bill J a y of the
facilities division.
In addition, objects such as
chairs, tables and desks have
been thrown from the upper
floors onto the third floor roof
causing punctures. J a y said.
The firm of Woodham and
Sharpe Architects of Montgo­mery
has been contracted to
design the new roof.
Plans include removing the
asphalt already on the roof,
according to John Woodham.
"Some of the walking decks will
have to be given up too," he said.
A bond-coat roofing produced
by West Point Pepperell Inc. will
be applied and new insulation
will be added; he said. --•
"This one (roof) won't have
gravel. It .will be slick, so if there
is a puncture.the;mairtt<Jriarrce~"
people will be able to find it and
fix it." Woodham said.
The preliminary design has
been submitted to Don Seay at
the facilities division for his
approval. If approved, it will then
be presented to the Campus
P l a n n i n g Committee for its
approval, with President James
Martin giving the proposed
design final approval.
Although he would not reveal
iioooooco»o»ooo<o»ooo<ooomiocooo<o»
the specific cost of the renova­tions,
Woodham said it will prob­ably
be in excess of $500,000.
If approved, the final plans will
be made and a bid day set for

"The plan has been to make a
few changes to some of the access
to those roofs. As far as an overall
change that will alleviate the
problem, there really is not one.
"The potential still exists that
people will be able to damage the
roof by throwing chairs and other
objects off of the Eagles Nest.
There is no total solution to that."
Jay said.

Truth, justice sought by
AU forensics department
By Lee-Lyn Collier
Staff Writer
John Doe has been murdered.
Correction: John Doe's cause of
death is suspicious. The courts
will decide whether Doe has been
murdered or not. and key testi­mony
for the case will come from
the forensic scientist who was
called to the scene.
That scientist could be from
Auburn"s department of foren
sic sciences, headquarters for
all forensic iabs throughout the
state. These labs will investigate
more than 4.800 cases every three
months. This is done with a staff
of only 116 people statewide.
Forensic science deals with
deaths categorized as unnatural,
unlawful or suspicious.
This is where murder victims
are sent for autopsy, where con­fiscated
drugs are sent for analy­sis
or where evidence from a
scene, such as a firearm, is sent
for examination.
"We're truth seekers.'Whether
it's a dead body or a tool mark on
a burglary scene, we're looking
for the t r u t h . " said Carlos
Rabren, director of the depart­ment
for 10 years. He says when
the truth is known in the court­room,
more often justice will
prevail.
To discover the truth, though,
requires more than asking ques­tions.
A death investigation
starts with the body, Rabren
said. Scientists are called upon to
recreate a scene and to collect
evidence for further examina­tion.
"You want to find out what
occurred and tin. order in which it
occurred, and that's a real chal­lenge,"
Rabren said.
He says most people don't set
out to get jobs in forensics. Most
people who end up in the field
start out with a basic love of
science. Rabren has been inter­ested
in the field since his first
autopsy at 15.
Rabren graduated from Au­burn
with a bachelor's degree in
medicinal chemistry and a mas­ter's
degree in pharmacology and
toxicology. He says most of the
learning comes from on-the-job
training.
Rabren's teacher was Dr. Paul
Shoffeitt, deputy director from
1959-69. There is a painting of
Rabren and Shoffeitt hanging in
Rabren's office. Done from a pho­tograph,
it shows Shoffeitt and
Rabren performing an autopsy.
The painting is graphic; both
are hunched over the exposed
brain of the corpse. But like all
forensic scientists, Rabren is not
in the least bit squeamish. "That
(the corpse) was a traffic fatality
— a hit and run, and we were try­ing
to find flecks of paint on him
to find out the color of the car." he
said.
Having to work on a dead body
doesn't bother Rabren. He looks
at his work from the scientific
point of view.
"It's like being a funeral direc­tor.
You can't fall apart at every
funeral. You would be a basket
case," he said. "You get accus­tomed
to the unpleasant parts.
You think about the intrigue, the
scientific questions to be an­swered
and the business side of
the work or tragedy."
He must keep this outlook, he
said. "The one thing about foren­sics
that you have to guard
against is that we deal with
human failuies — crime, trage­dies
of crime — it could give you a
sour outlook on life." There are
positive contributions. Not all
cases lead to the imprisonment of
a suspect. Often, suspects are
cleared through the evidence or a
suspicious death is found to have
been by natural causes.
Also, there is the satisfaction of
knowing the scientist has,
through scientific investigation,
brought a criminal to justice.
Take, for example, a case
Rabren investigated in Dothan
some years ago. Rabren was

investigating the death of a
woman who, her h u s b a nd
claimed, died of fright following a
struggle with a burglar.
Police felt certain the man was
telling the truth, but then Rabren
began to get suspicious. He began
asking the husband questions
and then reenacted what had
happened himself.
For example, the husband had
said the burglar entered the
house by cutting through tape
covering a broken windowpane
on the back door and by turning
the lock. When Rabren examined
the tape he found rust stains from
the knife where it had been cut
but found the tape intact.
Try as he might, Rabren could
not get his hand through the door
without disturbing the tape. He
later found the knife used to cut
the tape in the kitchen drawer, j
After Rabren put the pieces
together, he concluded the hus­band,
not a burglar, had killed
the wife. Rabren testified in
court, and the man was sent­enced
to life in prison.

Haley Center Room 24.58 has
been transformed from an ordi­nary
classroom into Farmdalc.
U.S.A., as part of a senior under­graduate
course within the early
childhood education curriculum.
For the next six weeks, children
aged four to eight will come to
campus to learn about farm life,
according to Peter Williamson,
co-director of the program.
The program is in conjunction
with two courses in early child­hood
education, CTC .'120 and
420, he said. "Normally during
the academic year there is a lab
component with the courses
where the students spend a cer­tain
amount of time off campus
working in the elementary
schools in town.
"That is obviously impossible

need access to children, so for the
last eight or nine years we've a
summer program where we have
kids come on campus so the
undergraduate seniors become
the teachers of the young kids."
Bach year a theme is chosen
and pursued for the entire six
weeks, he said. This year the stu­dents
chose farms. The class­room
is then transformed into an
environment that will be interest­ing
for the children.
'At first I was really
skeptical, but now I
know the children
do get something
out of it, though it
takes them awhile
to get used to it.'
—• Mary Beth
Stahli
Before the children arrived
July 11, the students spent time
researching farms to give the
children a feel for what farm life
is like now and what it was like in
the past. Williamson said.
The room is divided into sec­tions
such as a cooking center,
plant products, a family center
and animal products. Each area
is marked with a sign labeling
the area and six places for
clothespins.
Each child has a clothespin
with his or her name on it which
he attaches to the sign. Only six
children may occupy an area at
one time. There are only two rules
in Farmdale — the kids must
always have their clothespin
with them and must clean up
after themselves, according to
Mary Beth Stahli, 04 CEC, one of
the .'!7 student teachers.
Among the activities planned,
the children are taught how to
shuck and grind corn, make corn
meal, make peanut butter, sell
items in a general store and pro­duce
a newspaper.
They also go on field trips
around campus. "Everything is
within walking distance — we
don't want the responsibility of
taking the children in cars."
Stahli said.
The children have plowed and
planted a plot on the west side of
Haley Center with corn, squash;
watermelon and okra. "One kid
only wanted okra. so he only
planted okra and only watered
okra," Marv Catherine Nance, 04
CEC, said.
Tracie Keith, 04 CEC, teaches
the children to make stuffed
paper ducks. "The kids look at
pictures of real ducks to get an
idea of how big they are and their
features, then they draw and
stuff them."
Martha Reynolds. 04 CEC.
supervises the making of corn-meal
and corn bread. "We let
them tell what they think is in
cornmeal and compare it to the
real recipe."
Near the end of the day's ses­sion,
t he children get into what is
called big group and tell what
they have done that day through
reports from a child from each
section.
This theory of teaching is fairly
new, according to Stahli because
there are no set times for activi­ties
such as reading time or math
time. The o n l y method of cfisci-

Auburn to award grant
for special education
;By S a r a h Hicks
A s s i s t a n t News Kditor
Auburn's School of Education
i is not just concerned with educat­ing
students hut educating
teachers as well.
The department of rehabilita­tion
and special education has
been awarded a grant and will
also hold a clinic for the instruc­tion
of children witb learning
disabilities.
The grant, funded by the U.S.
-Department of Education, origi­nally
brought $70,000 in its first
year. The project has been addi­tionally
funded in its third year
on a continuing basis until
August 1989.
The project is being used to
! train the 25 percent of teachers of
[•learning disabled (LI)) children
; in Alabama that are not certified
to do so.
The program will try to reach
its goal by requiring more practi-k'um
experiences, requiring the
teachers to read more literature
on education effectiveness and
putting more emphasis on the
interpretation of research for use
in instruction.
Another approach is a program
called direct instruction. This
emphasizes instructional reme­dies
to academic problems for I ;D
students. This program is part of
the summer clinic conducted by
RSE. The six-week program
serves children with mild learn­ing
problems
This clinic not only helps the
children but also serves as a good
practicum experience for the
teachers. Classes are usually of
10 people or less and are staffed
by one master's degree student
and one or two practicum
students.
KSE is now accepting applica­tions
for full-time master's-level
students who will be awarded
assistantships of $4000 and tui­tion
for the 1988-89 year. Appli­cants
do not need any previous
training in special education, but
they do need to have a degree in
education.
A limited number of part-time
positions with tuition paid by the
grant are available. The project is
directed by Dr. Craig I larch, area
head of learning disabilities, and
Bobbie Umliach.
Public sneezes at pollen
By Mary Hanks
A s s i s t a n t News Editor
It's summer time again, the
season when millions of Ameri­c
a n s suffer from a l l e r g i es
because of pollen.
The pollen that bothers most
people is airborn pollen and the
only way to avoid it is to stay
inside, according to Roland Dute,
a s s o c i a t e professor in t he
department of botany and
microbiology.
Sinus headaches, itchy eyes,
sneezing and runny noses are
just a few symptoms which peo­ple
have because of a plant's urge
to reproduce.
Allergies rank high among the
nation's chronic diseases with
more than 50 million sufferers,
according to the National Insti­tute
of Health.
Some Americans are not
allergy prone so breathing pollen
causes no problem.
Yet for those who do suffer
from early spring to late fall,
their bodies respond to the pollen
grain as a foreign invader. Dute
said.
Pollen begins its cycle as a
grain in the early spring. As the
seasons progress, it showers from
trees, drying grasses and flower­ing
weeds.
The pollen grains are manufac­tured
in the part of the flower or
plant known as the stamen.
Insects or wind carry the pollen
grains to the sticky hairs of the
stigma of the flower or plant,
Dute said.
Pollen grains release a protein
once moisture iSrabsorbed from
the plant. Fertilization takes
place if the molecules on the
stigma are compatible with the
pollen grain protein, Dute said.
The passages of the nose and
throat are also moist and sticky
to the pollen grain and serve as a
landing surface.

Pre-registration pays off
By Lana Middleton
Staff Writer
S t u d e n t s who fail to pre-register
are adding to fluctuating
enrollment patterns that cur­rently
aggravate class schedul­ing
problems, Dr. W.B. Hitch­cock,
head of the English
department, said.
Hitchcock encourages students
to know which classes they want
to take before pre-registration
"because we break our necks to
try to cover requests."
"It's discouraging for us and
frustrating to the students who
come here saying, 'But I have to
have this course. I have to have it
to graduate. I'll be behind if I
don't.' Then I find out there was
no r e q u e s t made at pre-registration,"
Hitchcock said.
Despite the "unable to assign
request" stamped on their sched­ules,
students who pre-registered
fall quarter were able to add core-curriculum
courses, such as
English 101, at drop-and-add
because Hitchcock used numbers
from pre-registration to adjust
the numbers of classes proportion­ally
to the requests.
Yet students who waited until
drop-and-add to register for more
advanced courses such as Con­temporary
Prose386 were unable
to add it because too few students
requested the course at pre-registra­tion.
"If I don't know a student
wants a course, there is no way
for me to make a space for him,"
Hitchcock said.
Among the factors department
heads consider when drawing up
schedules are t he requests made
at pre-registration, the number of
other courses for which the class
is a prerequisite and if the class's
content deserves a small student-teacher
ratio, he said.
Determining teachers' course
loads and whether additional
teachers are needed is difficult
unless the numbers of pre-registering
students are reliable.
Hitchcock said.
Currently, scheduling is a
guessing game, according to
Hitchcock, who cited the need for
a system of obtaining accurate
enrollment figures and class
counts.
Other factors considered dur
ing the compilation of schedules
are the enrollment history for the
class in earlier quarters, the need
for certain specialized classes to
a c c o m m o d a t e majors and
equipment limitations.

said, "and that happens every­day
in forensic sciences."
But not all cases are death
investigations. In fact, the major­ity
are controlled substance
cases. When police confiscate
drugs, by law the substance has
to be analysed, even if they are
sure what it is.
"Officers are really going after
it and they're very aggressively
pursuing those drugs now."
But drug cases still take second
place in priority. "Death investi­gation
is our number one priority.
Everything else is secondary," he
said. It must take second place
when the department is so
understaffed.
And recently the department
has had to deal with the AIDS
epidemic. "That's added another
problem to us because we deal
with biological materials all the
time — blood, semen — and that's
the two ways you can readily
transmit it," he said.
The department now takes
more precautions wnan handling
cases. All cases are treated as
though they are AIDS contami­nated.
The department has had
instances when they have done
autopsies on bodies later found to
have AIDS.
Now, law enforcement is asked
to take precautions too. In the
past, syringes with needles to be
analyzed were put in envelopes.
Now, the department is sending
out plastic containers so the pos­sibility
of getting stuck with an
AIDS contaminated needle is
reduced.
But even these precautions are
sometimes not enough. "We had
that happen to an officer about
two months ago," Rabren said.
This officer was searching a man
for a weapon when he was stuck
with a needle concealed in the
man's clothes. The man told the
officer he had previously used the
same needle on three prositutes.
"That man has a year of sweat
to see if he develops AIDS,"
Rabren said.
But even with these draw­backs,
Rabren says the work is
satisfying. "It's addicting," he
said. "You get excited about every
case you work.
LAB, continued from page 2

Antibodies form once the
pollen proteins touch the mucous
surfaces. The antibody encoun­tering
the pollen protein causes
the symptoms of allergies,
according to Charles Born, asso­ciate
professor of pharmacal
sciences in the U n i v e r s i t y 's
School of Pharmacy.
"Short of moving north, there's
no way of avoiding pollen com­pletely,"
Dute said.
Many allergy sufferers choose
to doctor themselves with over-t
h e - c o u n t e r a n t i h i s t a m i n e s.
"While these are effective for
t r e a t i n g seasonal allergies,
drowsiness is a side effect." Born
said.
Antihistimines work by coun­teracting
the effects of the histim-ine
which is produced in the body.
The histimine which is produced
causes the symptoms that we
associate with the allergic reac­tion
to the pollen grain.
Other cures for pollen allergies
are oral and topical decongest­ants
and allergy shots which
desensitize the body's immune
system.
plineis exclusion. For example, if
a child is misbehaving in an area,
then he is told to leave, she said.
Jeff Lin, 7. said he likes Farm-dale
because. "At regular school
all I do is work, here I can play."
Danielle Reynolds, 8, is from
Mobile and visiting her father, a
student at Auburn. "I learned
how to plant, a plant, but I don't
know what kind it is. I saw some
girl wearing an Alabama t-sbirt
— yuck."
Lori Hinklc. I. said. "I don't go
to grade school yet. but this is
fun."
Stahli concluded. "At first I
was really skeptical, hut now I
know the children do get some­thing
out of it. though it takes
them awhile to get used to it.
"I have stock in Tylenol."
So far the results have been
good. "Ten of the patients have
seen benefits unlike any they had
seen since treatment began eight
years ago," Morse said.
But there are still many prob­lems.
Some patients are not eligi­ble
for treatment because they
feel pain. Almost three-fourths of
all spinal cord injured patients
still have some feeling, and they
feel pain before reaching a stimu­lation
level that will cause accep­table
movement, according to
Morse.
The biggest problem exists in
muscle fatigue. The stimulation
device works in the opposite
direction of natural stimulation
so the largest muscles tire first.
Patients with injuries higher
on the spinal cord are more apt to
benefit from the device because
there is less damage to the peri­pheral
nerves which are the pas­sage
for the stimulation, accord­ing
to Morse.
"We want this to become a wor­kable,
portable device that is
functional for the clinical reha­bilitation
setting. It should be
more than just a lab toy for only a
dozen patients," Morse said.
Morse stressed the point that
only about 50 percent of the work
was done here at Auburn. At the
California clinic that Walker
founded seven years ago, all the
clinical work takes place.
Also assisting are Dr. Thad-deus
Roppel of Auburn's electri­cal
engineering department
along with Andrew Cilia, a stu­dent
who designed the majority
of the computer hardware, Joe
Haggerty, an electrical engineer
and Betsy Shimek, a student.
They are responsible for the
design work and the building of
the equipment.

.All eyes were on Jackson as
he took the spotlight away
from Dukakis going into the

many people, including The

No press
;. For years the administra­tion
h;ts been pressuring
faculty members to become
•better researchers by publish­ing
materials that not only
add credentials to the teach,
ihg staff, but also prestige to
the University as a whole.
Auburn, however, lacks a
vital part of this publishing
process — a press.
• " I t is baffling to The Plains-man
that the administration
pushes so hard for the faculty
to publish to maintain the

long last, of a graceful depar­ture
for a man who left his
party holding its breath while
watching his every step just
days before the Convention.
Drawing support from ded­icated
followers, Jackson was
able to overshadow Dukakis
through several rallies. It was
questionable whether Jack­son
would accept his political
fate as fact and move on to
back his party's ticket. It was
a great relief to see him do so.

Executive Vice President
George H. Emertsaid that the

So, they provide economic
incentives to have Auburn
faculty utilize their facilities,
and Auburn, in turn, makes
Alabama look good. Isn't that

Though we can certainly
understand the administra­tion's
budgetary restrictions,
The Plainsman feels that our
priority should be providing
the faculty with a press. It
would localize the efforts of
faculty research, and would
benefit the University more so
than the current situation.
After all, it is a matter of
prestige.

It may come as a surprise to
some that the UPC has spent
approximately $16,000 this
quarter in addition to over­head
costs, according to Films

money went primarily to fund
the eight bands scheduled to

Campaign *$8 but a late-night farce
You know, it's really a shame
that the writers are on strike —
It's a great time of year for Satur­day
Nifiht Live.
Actually, election years in gen­eral
provide incredible material
for shows like SNL. Never have I
seen, however, anything'as
deserving of farce quite like our
own presidential campaign.
It has both of the essential ele­ments
— the main characters and
controversy.
The main characters are actu­ally
boring candidates that des­perately
need life that will only be
known to them through the veins
of comedy.
Oh, did I say boring? Sorry,
Jesse.
No, Jesse Jackson is certainly
far from boring. In fact, if it
weren't for him, I believe much of
the public would have been clu­eless
of that merrymaking
known as the Democratic-
National Convention being held
this week in Atlanta. It is his
celebration, after all.
And of course, there is defi­nitely
controversy in this little
charade. Controversy that I
believe could have been avoided

if Democratic Presidential
Nominee Michael Dukakis had
played his cards right.
There is no question that wait­ing
to name Bentsen as Dukakis'
running mate until Jackson had
been informed, though realistic­ally
only a courtesy, was non­etheless
a necessity in this case.
Racial harmony has not been
fully established in this country.
It is a fragile lining over the
Democratic Party and even if for
that reason alone, greater effort
should have been made to assure
that Jackson would be told of the
vice presidential selection before
reporters accosted him.
The incident was a political
faux pas for Dukakis; an action
or lack thereof that may just cost
him some crucial votes if those
who support Jackson don't easily
forgive and forget by Nov. 4.
The announcement, instead of
being an event for celebration for
the Democrats, became a slap in
the face to second-place Jackson
and yet another layer of bricks on
the racial barrier that many feel
is the core of Dukakis' decision.
Some of those who were left in the
debris of Jackson's spell were left
to wonder, "Is it called the White
House for a reason?"
I question why the announce­ment
could not have been post­poned
until P.P.P.R. (Proper Pol­itical
P.R.) could be rendered.
Besides, Dukakis had been drag­ging
out the announcement for a
long time, anyway. What was
two more hours?
I was talking to one of my
Reagan-sensitive friends the
other day (conservative is such
an ugly label) who believes that
race is not an issue in the Demo­cratic
sphere this year.
What a strange thing to say, I
thought. Maybe I took it wrong,
but race certainly is an issue. Or
at least a consideration.
The fact that Jackson is black
is a sensitive subject in this coun­try.
And frankly, I think that is a
good thing. It has forced the pub­lic
to look past the candidates'
outward appearances and per­haps
a bit closer at the issues of
this election. Why? Because no
one wants to be called a racist.
So let's look at one critical
issue. Jackson has never held a
public office. Based on this alone.
Dukakis had no choice but to
choose a more "qualified" run­ning
mate. He had no choice if he
hoped to "repeat history," com­paring
himself to Kennedy and
such.
There is something thai Jack­son
has. however, that neither
Dukakis or Bentsen have even
pretended to have...charisma
(a.k.a. political gold, or, in the
general term, personality).
Charisma has repeatedly-proven
to be the heart of most
successful politicians. But with­out
Jackson, America has littleto
look forward to in terms of enter­tainment
in the next presidential
term.
Maybe that's why we desper­ately
need a new Saturday Nifiht
Live.
Then again, maybe that's why
we had Reagan.
Quest for The King yields truth - Elvis lives
For the last 11 years. I have
kept the most explosive secret
ever to rock the foundations of
our country.
Elvis lives.
Everything you've heard is
true. Honest. I should know.
I began tracking my lather.
The King, shortly after bis all-too-
convenient drug overdose in
1977. It just seemed like such an
easy out for Elvis, a fading rock
'n' roll star whose pelvis was
wearing thin on the American
public. I knew that it had to be a
hoax from the beginning.
Then there wa»therlefcter.s writ­ten
in large, childlike characters,
which mysteriously appeared in
my mailbox and changed my life.
"Son, I'm caught in a trap, can't
walk out because I love you too
much, Benjii. Why can't you see
what you're doing to me when
you don't believe a word I'm
sayin' ? We can't go on together
with suspicious minds..."
It was signed simply, "The
King". The "i" was dotted with a
greasy bean, apparently drooled
from one of dad's now-infamous
chili dogs. Of course, I had to find
him and explain that all be
needed was a new manager, or at
least, a reputable psychiatrist.
Thus began my life as tin Elvis
hunter. I started following a
string of sweaty sequins that
would eventually lead me across
North America in a fervent quest

for my legitimacy as heir to the
Graceland fortune.
Immediately after his funeral
(which, incidentally, he attended
disguised as the corpse), he left
the country which had loved him
tender and hitchhiked into Mex­ico
oh the hack (if \i truck filled
with migrant workers, friends
from the early days in Memphis.
He was not too hard to follow in
the beginning. Never known for
his discretion, dad drunkenly
scrawled graffiti such as "Elvis
wuz here" in every cheap, tawdry-tequila
bar within 500 miles. The
only English phrase known to
the hundreds of pregnant women
sighing in the streets was "Don't
be cruel."
Scientists said it was purely
coincidence, but 1 knew better. I
also knew that Elvis' money
supply would have to end soon. I
played a waiting game.
Then, without warning. The
King disappeared for nearly five
years. I was left searching in
Tijuana with nothing to go on but
a ragged pair of platform shoes
made of fine blue suede. "Hand­crafted
in Italy."
Desperate and despairing, I
next saw dad in Memphis in 19.S-J.
The King had become a pauper. A
large, burly man was throwing a
.'100-pound Elvis out of Graceland
for.sleeping on and breaking his
old bed.
A mere shadow of himself, the
rock 'n' roll legend was singing
"Well, it's hard to be a gambler,
bettin' on the numbers...They
change all the time." Elvis was
crooning "Moody Blue," his last.,
great hit, recorded justjiefore his ;
"death." P'riscilla wept 'asf?sh£ '
watched him from tbe second-floor
window in a room which
had once been their bedroom.
She yelled some shallow lines
from the scene she was memoriz­ing
for Dallas down to him. It was
almost like Romeo and Juliet,
•except that Juliet never racked up
millions in royalties and televi­sion
appearances and, of course,
would not be caught dead with
Priscilla's hairstyle.
I was so distraught that I didn't
have the heart to approach him.
Besides, my voyeurism was start­ing
to disgust even me. I stayed in
the shadows as Elvis was turned
down time and time again as tin
Elvis impersonator. "You don't
look a thing like The King," they
told him. "This ain't no freak
show. You and your fake i.d. bet­ter
get the hell outta here before
you do all your rockin' in tbe jail-house!"
It was a prophecy des­tined
to be fulfilled.
Elvis bottomed out. Losing tal­ent
shows at do/ens of county-fairs
nationwide began to hurt
his ego. In a last, futile attempt to
regain his economic status, he
tried to steal back till of the Cadil­lacs
he had given away during
the good years.
It was only a matter of time
before he got busted. Eive years
later, the Tennessee State Peni-
~ tentiary^re.leasdj9i*^:jirtah known
only as "Teddy Bear." Ex-con
Elvis returned to Memphis to
greet the mourners at the cerem­ony
commemorating tbe 10th
anniversary of his "death." They
rejected him unmercifully.
Since then, Elvis has become
more reckless. He has eaten in
fast-food restaurants throughout
the South, even visiting the Flush
when he came to Auburn looking
for adventurous coeds with
strange tastes. He has stopped
hiding from the cameras that
flash at him from all sides.
Suddenly, the secret is out.
Elvis has reappeared, much
smaller than the Elvis legend.
Any remnants of decency sur­rounding
his life and music have
crumbled in a media avalanche.
Elvis is alive, but The King has
died.
Memories of childhood friend bring sadness
I met Mrs. Schubert when I was
six or seven years old. She lived
in the big brown bouse next to my
father's office.
Like the house she lived in she
was crooked and worn by too
many unkind years. Her skin was
wrinkled and spotted, and her
hair had long before lost its lus­ter,
but to a child's eyes she was
beautiful.
Every time I went to my
father's office I would walk next
door where Mrs. Schubert could
usually be found sitting on the
porch drinking a beer with her
neighbor Mr. Harris.
At first I would only sit on the
steps of the porch. I was a little
wary of her because of the large
wart on her nose. Every child
knows that any self-respecting
witch has a wart on her nose.
Finally convinced that she
wasn't a witch, I grew to enjoy
sitting on that warped porch and
sipping a Coke while she and Mr.
Harris took turns insulting each
other.
I couldn't understand their
playful bickering at first, but I
soon realized that it was their
way of flirting. I wondered if they
were in love. Surely they were,
but why didn't they get married?
As I grew, I realized that the
house was actually an apartment
building. Mrs. Schubert lived in
the apartment on the second
floor. I would hold her hand when
I helped her up the stairs and
waited for the day when she
would trip and we would both
tumble down the stairs to our
Copy Editor
TIM
McKINNEY
deaths. But like the steps that led
to her apartment, she bent but
never broke.
She liked to hold my hand.
Maybe she liked to feel tbe soft­ness
of a child's hand, or maybe I
reminded her of the children she
never had maybe. So, we did
things where we could hold
hands.
One of our favorite pastimes on
Saturday afternoons was walk­ing
to the downtown library
which was only a couple of blocks
from her apartment.
As we walked hand in hand, I
watched in fascination as the
skin above her elbows flapped
with every step we took. Every
time we went to the library she
would sing to me a song about
shoes and how they changed
colors as you aged.
It went something like this:
"When I was young my slippers
were red. I'd dance all night kick­ing
them over my head. When I
was older my slippers were blue,
as I did everything a mother
should do. Now I'm old and my
slippers are gray...." God, how I
wish I could remember that song.
One day I walked over to the
house and Mr. Harris wasn't
there. Mrs. Schubert told me that
he had gotten sick and gone to
live somewhere else. It was also
the day I noticed some of the
sparkle gone from Mrs. Schu­bert's
eyes.
It wasn't long after Mr. Harris
moved away that his apartment
became a supply room for my
father's office, and Mrs. Schubert
moved to the other apartment on
the first floor.
The summer of my 14th year, I
started working for my father. By
this time his company owned the
building on the other side of the
brown house. I cut grass, swept
floors iind ran reports between
the two buildings.
Mrs. Schubert would always
wave to me from the porch of the
house as I ran by. Each time she
would ask me to come see her, and
each time I would smile and say
OK, but I never seemed to have
time. Finally, I started going
behind the house and using tbe
back exits.
When I did visit her I began to
notice how unpleasantly stale
her room had become, and the
fake miniature Christmas tree
she displayed year round began
to annoy me.
One day my father gave her an
old refrigerator from his office. It
was my job to clean it. As I
scrubbed I thought to myself,
"Doesn't she have any other
friends?"
I saw her less frequently after
that. Besides, I was 15, and 15-
year-old guys don't hang around
with old ladies. It wasn't cool.
The next year the brown house
became a parking lot, and Mrs.
Schubert moved to a high-rise
retirement home about a mile
away. My family and I would
visit her at least once a month i
after church.
These monthly visits soon
became a nuisance to me. I was 16
and had so many important
things to do. After about •'?() min­utes
I would usually go and sit in
the car and wait for my family to
come down.
Eventually I got a car and
drove to church and bypassed
these monthly visits. Even then I
received a chocolate bunny for
Easter and a roll of pennies on
my birthday.
I was 18 when Mrs. Schubert
died. I remember feeling more
guilty than sad and conveniently
thought of some excuse to miss
the funeral.
Fouryears have passed and my
dad's office sits where the brown
house once stood. The only trace
of Mrs. Schubert's existence is a
solitary tombstone somewhere
and a memory. ^
It is a memory of tin old woman
and a boy and the friendship they
once shared. It is also a guilty
memory of things I should have
said and done.
When I think of Mrs. Schubert
I'm reminded of the song she used
to sing to me and realize how
much she must have loved me. I
never had the chance to tell her
that I loved her.
"When I was young'my slippers
were red...." God, how I wish I
could remember that song.

In short, all is not bliss
Editor, The Plainsman:
It is unconscionable to me that
our Senators would support the
plant closing and layoff provi­sions
of the Fair Trade Act of
1987. This provision stipulates
that a company must give at least
a 60-day notice before closing a
facility or laying off 50 or more
employees.
It is easy to understand the dis­comfort
that anyone has in los­ing
a job; however, closing a
plant without prior notice is not
necessarily unfair. When notifi­cation
that a plant is closing goes
out, three things immediately
happen. First, the existing cus­tomers
find other sources of
supply. Second, the most valua­ble
employees leave like rats
jumping from a sinking ship.
Third, well-financed competition,
quite often owned by foreign con­glomerates
move to capture
market share. In short, a sal­vageable
situation becomes
terminal.
A company that could have
survived with an influx of capi­tal,
new management, a new cu 5-
tomer or just plain dumb luck will
be reduced to nothing more than
a pool of used equipment to be
sold off at auction. In this case,
the stockholders lose, the credi­tors
lose and the employees lose.
If our Federal Legislatures
want to sustain economic growth
and provide jobs for an expand­ing
population, they had better
start thinking about the laws
they pass instead of the quick pol­itical
splashes they can make.
Perhaps Gov. Hunt is right. We
should limit them to two terms,
and then make them come home
to live under the laws they pass.

Hey, they are simply men
Editor. The Plainsman:
In many eyes of the American
public the televised pulpit is
steadily losing its influence over
the majority. Skeptics argue that
TV evangelists are putting on a
performance, as any other actor,
simply to cajole money out of
"suckers" or the elderly. With the
recent revelation of unfavorable
events concerning several nota­ble
evangelists, it seems as if the
condemnations and jeering criti­cisms
have not ceased.
My point is not to condone the
actions of these men, but to
emphasize that they are simply
that — men.
Feverish tones and pounding
fists on Bibles often are inter­preted
to imply someone who is
well-learned of religion is there­fore
resistent to temptation or
wrongdoing. True, they are
aware probably more than the
average person what is sin and
what is not, but their flesh and
blood is the same as all other
humans and they are subjected to
the same feelings and tempta­tions
that everyone else is sub­jected.
Yes. their position is one of
great influence and authority,
and they are responsible for the
effects that they have on the peo­ple
that attempt to lead christian
lives, but they are not God —they
only work for him.
If we who consider ourselves
religious have the audacity to cri­ticize
and condemn these men for
their mistakes, we have defi­nitely
risen to a level that enables
us to judge the actions of others.
To be honest, I don't want to he in
the judge's seat.
What these men did was wrong
and they definitely hurt their
viewing audiences and their fol­lowers;
however, the majority of
the damage didn't affect the
believers. It affected the disbe­lievers
and the skeptics. Those
who were already convinced that
TV evangelists were phony and
were trying to get rich off the pub­lic
were only reinforced in their
beliefs. The object is to bring
more lives into Christianity and,
instead of convincing the disbe­lievers,
they pushed them further
out of reach.
These men have a position to
fulfill which requires stricter
demands on them than the aver­age
person. Hut we as human
beings cannot expect them to be
perfect unless we, ourselves are
perfect in our actions as well.

Engineers do have diverse interests
Editor, The Plainsman:
Once more, I get a chance to
hear how engineers are over­trained,
socially-inept nerds —
this time in an editorial by John
Vreeland. I agree with Vree-land's
own words, it seems he is
"not really an engineer." If he
was. he would realize that engi­neers
have diverse interests and
social lives.
I've been an engineering stu­dent
for five years. I recently
received my bachelor's degree
from Auburn's electrical engi­neering
department and I'm now
in the graduate school. Through­out
those five years, I have heard
time and again how engineers
can't write, how engineers have
no common sense, how engineers
can't understand "real" people,
how engineers aren't educated —
just trained, and seemingly a
hundred other professionally
degrading comments. If Vree­land
opened his eyes to the reali­ties,
he would realize that engi­neers
aren't very different from
other people.
Nearly everybody is in college
to get a degree to enable them to
get a job. Business majors learn
accounting and tax laws; art
majors learn how to combine line,
color and form; English majors
study language use and literary
forms. Nearly all of us are in col­lege
receiving some sort of job
training. Just because an engi­neer's
training is technically
oriented doesn't mean that it is
any less valid than that received
by someone being trained in
humanities or arts.
As to what we are learning
which "amplifies the harmonic
vibrations of which our society is
made," consider all the technol­ogy
that is used to better the lives
of less technically-oriented peo­ple.
How many English majors
use a computerized word proces­sor
to create their art? How many
people have had a relative saved
from medical emergencies by
modern technology?
Engineering is a thankless job.
We as engineers accept this as
fact, but still do our best to better
our society through our abilities.
As far as engineers being
unable to understand that which
is not engineering, I, myself, was
a yearbook editor years ago in
high school and started and
edited a literature magazine. I
read widely and have a music col­lection
which ranges from
Dvorak to heavy metal.
I even have friends who are not
engineers, but instead are major­ing
in business, psychology and
English. Yet another engineer
friend of mine works gratis for
the theatre department simply
because he enjoys the art form. I
am not a special case among
engineering students. We all
h a v e i n t e r e s t s o u t s i d e of
engineering.
Engineers are no different from
other people. Think about this
when you drive home in your car
with electronic fuel injection, lis­tening
to your compact disc
player, watching television or
talking around the world on your
telephone.

H Talk is cheap. The
democrats need 10 come
out with definite plans
and sell those plans to the
citizens of this country.
These plans include an
increase in education
spending, decreasing the
trade imbalance, main­taining
a strong defense,
more support for the
farmers and correct the
abuses in the welfare
system. Ii
ii I think they should
come up with a solution to
reduce the deficit other
than a tax increase which
has been advocated by
many democrats. J J
It Although I'm not asso­ciated
with the Demo­cratic
party, I believe the
only way that they would
be able to win the election
is if they could con vice the
public that they would not
allow for high inflation
and that they could cut the
national debt without
greatly increasing taxes.JJ
(( They would have
become Republican. IJ
What will the Democratic party need to use as the
main plank in its platform to win the election this fall?
Auburn just can't take a joke
Lately I've noticed something
about the majority, or perhaps
i t ' s simply*-tin extremely>V(u-al?
minority, of the Auburn student
population. Especially concern­ing
The Plainsman.
Plain and simple, they can't
take a joke.
And even if they could take a
joke, they wouldn't get it.
If the people that get so upset'
after reading certain personal
columns in the paper could see
what goes on down here, they'd
realize how far too seriously they
are taking things.
I would say at least .~>0 percent
of the columns written for this
paper are done tongue-in-cheek.
So far tongue-in-cheek that some­times
it's hard to see that it's
meant to be funny.
But don't get me wrong. I'm not
apologizing for anything ever
written in The Plainsman, and
I'm not condoning anything that
would hurt other people's feel­ings.
But when something is a
joke, I would think that the gen­eral
student populace would be
able to recognize it.
Not so.
Most of the people on this cam­pus
have incredibly thin skins. If
anyone says anything they deem
offensive, they have a fit, simply
because they hold their dear old
whatever too close to the heart.
It's even worse when it appears in
print.
I'll use myself as an example.

ing a few humorous swipes at
Greek Week, and I was accosted
at a party by two fraternity
members who thought I was tak­ing
things too far. So what? Deep
down inside I realized that Greek
Week was all fun and games, but
some people hold things like that
in an almost holy reverence.
They just didn't get the joke.
There aren't too many things
that should get that kind of
reverential treatment here in
Auburn. In fact, almost every­thing
and everybody on campus
has been made fun of at one time
or another, whether it is the
"immaculate condition" of Haley
Center or the "ultimate coolness"
of those engineering types.
While I do think the humor can
go too far, it hasn't (at least not
yet) at The Plainsman. Most
things people make fun of need to
be made fun of. When people start
taking themselves too seriously,
t h a t ' s when the Sarcasm Squad
is needed most, just to bring folks
down from their high horses.
So why all the whining?
Because people can't stand to
have their precious egos deflated.
They believe that the world
wouldn't be the same without
them, which of course it.wouldn,'t.
What would The I'lainnmail wai­ters
write about?
t[
The things people occasionally
poke fun at aren't just intended tji
annoy people. They do have 'a
higher purpose. "'•
•x \
Most of the time humorous sto­ries
take a sarcastic look at some­thing
that needs to be changed.
Or they make people look a little
harder at themselves. The goal is
not to make fun of somebody tjir
the heck of it, but to makejja
serious point, although it is done
in a humorous manner.
If people would quit taking
themselves so seriously, and quit
taking everything they read -at
pure face value, the world woujd
be a much better place. A sense of
humor and the ability to laugh at
yourself are two qualities seem­ingly
sorely lacking at Auburn.
I don't know what happened.
Maybe the era of Alan Alda and
"the sensitive man" has per­vaded
every segment of Auburn
student life, or evolution has
come out with the new and
improved version of Hi>m<\
sapiens with a thinner skin. But I
guess it doesn't really matter how
it happened as long as people
don't get the joke.
In fact, this entire column
could have been a joke. ,
But I doubt most folks would
have gotten it.

TV's fast pace — a mere illusion
A&l Editor
SHARON
FORSHEE
In this world, things arc not as
they seem.
Take as an example, television.
When you sit down in front of the
TV and devote 'M) minutes or an
hour to .4//"or Dallas, you proba­bly
justify doing so because you
believe the show has a gripping
plot or convincing characters.
Sadly enough, however, this is
probably not the case. In this
video age that we live in. each
segment of a television show is
planned by a video event (change
in camera angle, lighting, etc.).
These "gods of television ."who
influence watchers more than
you'd ever want to know, have
discovered how many video
events it takes to keep an
audience interested — it is an
actual science.
Let's examine a show such as
Dallas. Within two interchanges
of character, the camera will
change about 2") times. If you
watch closely enough you can see
these subtle, seemingly unneeded
actions such as an actress slip­ping
off her earring before using
the phone or a character walking
behind the character he's speak-
Yet what is one to
do? Quit watching
TV? Perhaps quit
watching so much
TV.
ing to while looking over their
shoulder into the camera.
In real life, you rarely walk
behind the person you're speak­ing
with, but in the TV world, this
unnecessary action catches your
eye and keeps it focused and
interested in the screen.
Scenes themselves are rarely
more than two minutes long.
How many plays do you read
where each scene contains 20
lines or less? The scenes of televi­sion
programs seem to be fast-paced,
yet this is a mere illusion.
Why is this fast pace needed?
Otherwise you would not watch
the program because the dialogue
and plot itself would not sustain
your interest.
In early '50s TV, many plays
were put on and producers would
use only one camera set back far
enough so it never had to be
moved. Back then, scenes lasted
lii minutes or more.
Yet today this pseudo-action
must be created by actually tim­ing
events out so that there is
something happening visually,
some sort of camera change, no
matter what idea the character is
attempting to convey or the plot
attempting to set forth. And
commercials have almost twice
the video events of television
shows.
Yet what is one to do? Quit

Play deals with honest feelings
Hy Kathy Bane
Staff Writer
Photography: Brad Dnlc
The cast of A.U. Theatre's production of Absent Friends
The Auburn University Thea­tre
Department is presenting
their second summer production.
Absent Friends, a comedy by
Alan Ayckbourn, beginning Jul;.
21. Their first play was the musi­cal
Sing For Your Supper." It was
definetly a success," said Lisa
Richter, the department's niav
keting director. •*
Absent Friends deals basiwilJr

"It's a fine play because it max­imizes

in his wake," according '.tu

Why Does Wares Recommend
Wares Loose Diamond System?
There is always one best way to do anything. The best way to get
your money's worth in a diamond ring is to select the stone
unmounted. Here are Wares' suggestions on starting to shop for a
diamond ring!
1. Learn how diamonds are graded! Insist that the salesman explain a nationally
standardized grading system.
2. Never fall in the trap of being diverted from a true standard grading system
to some company designated romantic name for a grade.
3. Be especially alert if someone gives you a grade that is spread over two or
three grades. They probably don't know their diamonds. Any given stone is
either one grade or another, but it can't be both or all three.
4. Never buy a diamond that you cannot see first under a microscope before it
is mounted. Too many "little flaws" are too often hidden under prongs once
they are mounted.
5. Once you select an unmounted diamond, insist you be given a "certificate"
for this diamond showing a nationally standardized color grade, perfection grade
and weight.
b. After returning for your ring, ask to again see the diamond under the
microscope. You do want the same diamond you were shown earlier.
7. Training by the Gemological Institute of America is considered the finest training
available anywhere in the world. This is a six to nine month course in residence
in Santa Monica, California, or a four year correspondence training with periodic
week in residence training. Ask if your salesperson has this training or if he
has his training from one of the "one week wonder" outfits that then bestow
some high sounding degree.
Registered Jeweler; Certified Gemologist or Certified Gemologist Appraiser
of the American Gem Society are the highest honors that an individual of an
American Gem Society store can receive in North America. Anything else is
less than the best.
If you do not plan to pay cash, ask to be shown what you will have paid for
your purchase when paid in full. If you are being charged ."add on interest"
you are paying over twice the amount of finance charge than on "diminishing
balance interest".

ABSENT, continued from page 9 TV, continued from page 9
down on the furniture to make
people laugh. The s i t u a t i o ns
aren't funny, hut the way they
are handled is very funny."
The play is about the extreme
chaos that arises when a group of
old friends throw a tea party for
Colin to console him about the
recent drowning of his fiancee.
The tension and awkwardness
increases as they find out that
Colin is anything but upset.
"The friends were close a long
time ago, but now they just get in
each other's way," Richter said.
"They all have wrecked lives at
home and come together and act
cheerful."
, Before Colin ever arrives, all of
the supposed friends throwing
the party are bickering and fight­ing
with each other.
"One lady is accusing another
of having and affair with her
husband," Richter said. The
diversity of personalities that
attend the party is extreme and
this adds to the chaotic atmos­phere.
They range from Evelyn, a
cashier at the local rollarena who
is constantly devouring chewing
gum. to Paul, the egotistic execu­tive
type, to John, an incompe­tent,
restless, third-rate sales­man.
The play deals with true-to-life
experiences and honest feelings
which can easily be funny, said
actor Joe Sniegocki. "Its enter­taining
feature is the humor in
the dialogue and the situations
that are present."
Ayckbourn is also expressing
his views on marriage and how
happiness and marriage can
sometimes lead to impolite
manners, said Sniegocki.
Another theme that is brought
out in the play is the way people
talk about and handle.death, said
Richter. This in itself brings
about an awkward situation.
"I think the reaction will be
very positive." Smith said.
Absent Friends,directed by Dr.
Cleveland Harrison, will he pres­ented
J u ly 21-23 and Aug. 3,5, 10.
and 12. All shows are at 8 p.m.
and will be held in the Telfair
Peet Theatre Upstairs.
"Being in the upstairs theatre
will add to the audience response
because of the closeness," said
Smith. "Especially being a
comedy, it will make it t h a t much
more intense."
The third production of the
summer. Dirty Work at the
Crossroads, will be presented
July 28-30 and Aug. 4,8,11. and
13.

watching TV entirely? Perhaps
quit watching so much TV.
The harm comes in when view­ing
a play such as Hamlet with
long, searching soliloquies where
one character is on stage alone
for s e v e r a l m i n u t e s . This
becomes virtually intolerable for
the average play-goer because
he's used to so many video events
per minute, (approximately 18).
Consider what this has done to
your potential attention: span.
Today Shakespeare and other
plays must be adapted to fit this
desired form of entertainment
that is upbeat with music and
lights.
In the words of Dr. William J.
Burling, assistant professor of
English, whose ideas are the very
core of this column, "You can't
think video and Shakespeare at
the same time."
TV's visual meaning goes
against the notion of language
itself meaning anything and
greatly impedes the communica­tion
of words by concentrating
almost solely tin visual aspect.
Frankly, I feel a bit robbed and
cheated...don't you?

In Mexico. O l y m p i a n s are

to t r a i n for a specific

It may be hard for us in the

t h i s would be like.
However, it is a process that
goes on in m a n y other countries
--which—participate^ in_.ih_e_lradii-tional
Olympic games.
For Auburn diver J o s e Rocha.
t h e s c e n a r i o was r e a l i t y for h im
at age seven when he began
diving.
Since then. Rocha developed
i n t o a s t r o n g contender for Mex­ico
d u r i n g high school.
In fact, he w a s so d e d i c a t e d to
d i v i n g that it took two extra
y e a r s for h im to complete high
school.
'I-am eager for the
games to get here. I
feel strong.'
— Jose Rocha
Rocha was a member of the
Mexican N a t i o n a l Olympic t e am
in 1984 a n d finished l.'ith in plat­form

s u c h as Greg Louganis of t he
United S t a t e s.
He now h a s a new goal of win­n
i n g a gold medal in t h e 1988
Olympics.
At t h e t i m e of t h e 1984 Olympic
games. Rocha w a s 18 y e a r s old.
I n 1985, h e won s ix gold medals
d u r i n g a M e x i c a n n a t i o n al
c h a m p i o n s h i p meet. Rocha dove
for. the Mexican Institute of
Social S e c u r i t y t e am t h a t won t he
overall c h a m p i o n s h i p.
He also placed second in t he
Swedish Cup I n t e r n a t i o n a l meet
a n d won t h e A u s t i n Cup in three-meter
diving.
Both meets took place in 1985
before he came to Auburn.
It was in Texas, during the
A u s t i n Cup, where Auburn Div­i
n g Coach Rick Theobald first
met Rocha.
"I watched him win t h e three-m
e t e r c o m p e t i t i o n and was
impressed," Theobald said. "I
went up to h im a n d asked if he
w a n t e d to d i v e a t A u b u r n , a n d he
s a i d y e s ."
The t r a n s i t i o n from Mexico to
t h e United S t a t e s was bumpy,
according to Rocha.
Not only did h e h a v e to face t he
usual h a r d s h i p s of freshmen col­lege
s t u d e n t s , but he also had to
deal with t h e p r o b l e m s of c u l t u r e : -
shock.
Rocha didn't learn English
before coming to the United
S t a t e s and said t h a t it took at
least three months before he
c o u l d u n d e r s t a n d our n a t i ve
l a n g u a g e .
"After t h r e e y e a r s , I t h i n k t h at
t h e r e a r e a lot of t h i n g s t h a t I still
h a v e to l e a r n . " Rocha said. "I
know t h a t I h a v e a n accent, a nd
sometimes I wish I d i d n ' t have
it."
S t u d i e s were h a r d for Rocha at
first, a n d in h i s opinion, took a lot
of time a w a y from diving.
After f i n i s h i n g a y e a r of work
in c o m p u t e r e n g i n e e r i n g . ' he
changed to c r i m i n a l justice.
"Criminal justice fits me per­fect,"
he s a i d . "I w a n t to t a k e t he
LSAT a n d go to l aw school."
Rocha said t h a t he misses his
family a n d friends t h a t he left in
Mexico, a n d he w a n t s to go back
t h e r e someday.
"There are a lot of opportuni­t
i e s here, but t h e only t b i n g t h at
would make me s t a y (in t h e Uni­ted
States) is if I find t h e right
g i r l . " be said.
The o p p o r t u n i t i e s t h a t diving
h a s given to Rocha are far
g r e a t e r t h a n t h o s e offered to most
people who live in Mexico.
"Diving is t h e o n l y r e a s o n t h at
he finished high school." Theo­bald
said.
However, it is b e c a u s e of Theo­bald
t h a t Rocha is a t t e n d i n g a
u n i v e r s i t y in t h e United S t a t e s.
"Rick a n d I t a l k a lot," Rocha
s a i d , "and we h a v e more of a
t e a m m a t e r e l a t i o n s h i p r a t h er
t h a n a father-son or a teacher-s
t u d e n t r e l a t i o n s h i p.
"He knows how it feels because
he is a diver too," R o c h a added.
Before coaching at Auburn,
T h e o b a l d competed a g a i n st
Rocha in t h e 1984 Olympic plat­form
diving.
He w a s a l s o a four-time NCAA
All-American diver at Southern
Illinois.
"The c h a n c e s of J o s e making
t h e Olympic t r i a l s a r e extremely
good," T h e o b a l d said.
Rocha s h o u l d easily qualify in
t h e three-meter event, Theobald
s a i d , but will h a v e tough compe­t
i t i on in t h e 10-meter event.
" J e s u s Menu of Mexico will
p r o b a b l y edge J o s e in the IO­meter,"
he said.
Mena is a former t e a m m a t e of
J o s e and is being trained by
J o s e ' s former coach. Bustavo
Osorio.
With t h e Olympic g a m e s com­i

s a i d t h a t he is h a v i n g fun train­i

d o i n g for 15 y e a r s .
"I am e a g e r for t h e g a m e s t o get

maybe too strong. Too much
muscle is b a d , like in ballet. You
won't h a v e a s much form."
" J o s e is a t r e m e n d o u s competi­t

By J o n Collins
A s s i s t a n t S p o r t s Editor
Carlo Cheattom has covered a
lot of ground in his football
career.
He will be looked upon to cover
a lot more turf this season as he
anchors the Auburn secondary.
The Tiger free safety led his
team in rushing as a senior run-ningback
at Muscle Shoals High
School in north Alabama. On the
other side of the ball, he was the
leading tackier enroute to All-
State honors and an invitation to
the Plains.
After seeing action on the spe­cialty
teams in his first year at
Auburn, Cheattom proved to be a
reliable reserve as a sophomore
at both strong and free safety.
'I look at it as a
personal chal­lenge.'
— Carlo Cheattom
Then, in 1087, he started every
game for Coach Pat Dye.
Cheattom was a mainstay at
free safety, earning him pre­season
All-SEC laurels for the
upcoming season. He performed
almost flawlessly as part of a
well-rounded, swarming defense
which was first in the conference
against the rush and second
defending the pass.
"I feel like free safety is my
natural positon," said the 0-foot.
189 pound Cheattom. "I've
played it all my life."
Cheattom has turned the heads
of many, including opposing
offenses, with his combination of
speed and heads-up coverage.
The versatile athlete broke up six
passes and came away with two
interceptions last season, return­ing
one for 30 yards in the 29-6
victory over Florida.
Following the A-Day game last
spring, the man at the Tiger
healm was singing Cheattom's
praises. Dye called him the "best
free safety in the country," in his
opinion.
With the possibility of an All-
SEC, and even AU-American,
season on the horizon, Cheattom
is not hindered by the hoopla.

"I'm not pressured by it all,"
Cheattom said. "I look at it as a
personal challenge."
Cheattom will be an elder
member of the secondary, which
will be young at the corners. Cor-nerbacks
Kevin Porter and Alvin
Briggs are gone from last year's
SEC championship team.
Senior strong safety Greg Sta­ples
will join Cheattom in the
defensive backfield behind a
rock-solid line and a promising
linebacker corps.
Cheattom was pleased with the
progress made by the secondary
during spring drills. "We had
some players that really deve­loped,"
he said.
"I think we will be in pretty
good shape. We have some good
players to work with. It will be
interesting to see how we perform
in the heat of battle."
Defending the conference
crown is a top priority with
Cheattom. He is confident of the
team's chances.
"I believe we have a good shot
at repeating as SKC champs,"
Cheattom said. "It will depend on
how hard we work and how many
breaks we get. There are a lot of
factors involved in it."
Preparations for the Sept. 10th
season opener against Kentucky
will begin within a month. Cheat­tom,
a family and child develop­ment
major, has been busy ready­ing
himself for the upcoming
pre-season drills while attending
school this summer.
"I've been hitting the weights
pretty hard." he said. "I'm just
trying to get in the best shape I
can."
out are J o hn Hudson, Brad John­son,
Kd King, Robert Meeks, Rob
Shelby and Anthony Brown.
Dye reiterated his previous
concerns about the inside line­backer
position, where Quentin
Riggins is the only player with
significant experience returning.
"Quentin is not as big and
strong as we would like him to be,
but he is a good football player."
Dye said. "The other guys aren't
experienced."
Dye is right when he says that
there is no problem at the defen­sive
line position.
No one has more talent than we
have with Benji Roland, Ron
Stallworth and preseason All-
American Tracy Rocker.
I hope that a few of the younger
players like David Rocker or
Lamar Rogers will show some
maturity next season. They have
plenty of good role models.
COACH,
Auburn has some of the fastest
speedsters in the nation at the
wide receiver, outside linebacker,
and free safety positions.
On offense, no one is better
than Freddy Weygand. Alex­ander
Wright and preseason All-
American Lawyer Tillman. That
is if Weygand stays healthy.
And on defense, Greg Staples.
Brian Smith. Alvin Mitchell and
preseason AI1-SKC selection
Carlo Cheattom fan definitely do
the job.
On the kicking team, the two
All-SBC selections, Brian Shul-manand

America.

tioning coach for football. "I
enjoyed working with the players
on a personal basis. It was a new
experience for me," he said.
Replacing Nichols as the Tig-er's
conditioning coach will be
former offensive lineman Jay
Jacobs. As a graduate assistant,
Jacobs has spent the last two
years coaching Auburn's tight
ends.
