Ralliers protest
park's condition

MLK Day. See story A-4

About 120 people marched
from Auburn's Martin Luther
King Park to A.M.E Zion
Church Saturday afternoon to
protest the park's condition
and celebrate Martin Luther
King week.
The park, which is located
on Byrd Street, consists of two
baseball practice fields but has
no playground equipment,
benches or water fountains.
"A park dedicated to Dr.
King should have certain
accessories," the Rev. George
Bandy, president of the Lee
County Alliance, said after the
ceremony.
Mayor Pro Tern Sam Teague,
who participated in the march,
said after the ceremony that
the city has plans to continue
the development of the park
which was dedicated to King
last year.
However, the development
has to be ongoing because of
funding problems, he said.
Auburn City Councilman
Samuel Harris said, "We just
don't have enough money."
Most of the money for park
development comes from pri­vate
contributions, Harris
said.
Ministers and local leaders
addressed the audience at the
celebration, which was spon­sored
by the Lee County
Alliance.
During his speech, the Rev.
Robert Johnson said the group
was gathered to thank God for
the life and works of King.

The trustee planning and pri­ority
committee approved the
proposed 61-hour core curricu­lum,
minus a foreign language
requirement, Jan. 9, according
to Ronald Henry, vice president
for academic affairs.
"It's one of the steps taken to
strengthen the undergraduate
program at Auburn," Henry
said.
The curriculum will include
five hours of math, five hours of
logic or ethics, nine hours of
social science, three hours of
fine arts, 10 hours of English,
nine hours of history, 10 hours
of literature and a writing rein­forcement
course, he said.
The proposed curriculum,
which would replace the current
53-hour curriculum, will be pre­sented
to the board of trustees
in February, Henry said. If
approved, it will affect the 1991-
92 class, he said.
Additional faculty will have to
be hired if the new curriculum
is approved, according to Henry.
Miller Solomon, president of
the University Senate, said
English is the only requirement
of the current curriculum. Sub­stitutions
can be made to fill the
other requirements, he said.
A student can substitute phi­losophy
for the mathematics
requirement and literature for
the history requirement.
"The present core is much too
lose and formless," Solomon
said.
Henry said the committee did
not approve a foreign language
requirement as part of the new
core.
Solomon said most faculty
would be in favor of the require­ment
if the University, had the
staff to cover the addition. Also,
some deans were concerned that
the 15-hour requirement would
take hours away from courses in
the student's major, he said.
"It would be a good thing if
there were world enough and
time," Solomon said.
The proposed curriculum will
include a "Concept of Science"
course which will combine phys­ical
and life science, according
to Solomon. "These things ought
to be related, but never have
been."
Henry said the new curricu­lum
is needed since more people
are changing professions and
need a stronger background in
the arts and sciences.
"It's part of a national trend,"
Henry said.
Solomon said that the propos­al
would place Auburn's curricu­lum
with schools such as Duke
and the University of North
Carolina.
Asbestos possible in every building
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
Students at Auburn are prob­ably
not in any health danger as
a result of their exposure to
asbestos even though there
might be some type in every
building, Assistant Vice Presi­dent
for Facilities Stanley R.
Drake said.
"I don't think there is any
greater danger at Auburn Uni­versity
than there is anywhere
else.
"Asbestos is a natural element
of this earth and human beings
determined a hundred years ago
that it was a good insulator. It
has turned to prove to be a sus­pected
carcinogen, and we are
confronted with the task of
removing those concentrations
of that element," Drake said.
Asbestos can be divided into
two categories, friable and non-friable,
according to Drake.
"Friable meaning those kinds of
fibers, which if they are dis­turbed,
will become airborne
and may be inhaled into ones
respiratory system."
Asbestos exposure causes cancer,
other health risks, instructor says
Melissa Oenney
Assistant News Editor
Asbestos is a known human
carcinogen, and health risks
increase with increased expo-'
sure, according to Ann Causey,
environmental biology instruc­tor.
-
"It is a known fact in the sci­entific
community that
asbestos is a carcinogen, it is
not a debated issue," she said.
Last July, the Environmen­tal
Protection Agency (EPA)
banned virtually all uses of
asbestos by 1997. It cited that
an estimated 10,000 people die
each year of disease caused by
asbestos exposure.
"The fact that EPA has initi­ated
bans reflects the consenr
sus of the scientific communi­ty,"
Causey said.
The ban was originally pro­posed
on Jan. 26, 1986, and
regulated asbestos removal in
public schools.
The same ban stated, "No
level of exposure is without
risk."
According to a July 10,1982,
report released in Science
News, EPA only began investi­gating
the hazards posed by
some products after French
researchers found that
asbestos-impregnated floor
tiles could, through normal
wear, release "important" con­centrations
of the mineral into
the air.
Lud Hoffmann, state
asbestos coordinator for the
Alabama Department of Envi-
See Health, A-8
Non-friable asbestos is dense
and is too heavy to be airborne,
he said.
"Non-friable represents the
least health hazard of any of the
asbestos that I know anything
about," Drake said.
"We probably have non-friable
asbestos in some extent in a
number of buildings," Drake
said. "I suppose the most com­mon
type of non-friable would
be floor tile that has some
asbestos content within it and if
it is not disturbed, represents a
very slight health hazard.
"I would not even hazard to
guess where that is located.

Skeleton not in closet: AUPD has no leads on Liberal Arts' missing bones,
replacement cost could exceed $2,000, Campbell says
Richard Parker
Staff Writer
A human skeleton used to
teach anatomy and other classes
was stolen from Haley Center
last quarter, but the AUPD cur­rently
has no leads in the theft,
according to AUPD Capt.
Charles Nevin.
Dr. Caine Campbell, associate
dean of the College of Liberal
Arts, said he was appealing for
the return of the skeleton,
which will cost $2,000 to
replace.
"The College of Liberal Arts
will draw on instructional
equipment funds to buy a new
skeleton," Campbell said.
A report was made to AUPD
about the theft on Nov. 17,
according to Dr. William Weid-ner,
of the Speech and Hearing
Center. Weidner said he was
'If someone would return (the skeleton) and stick
it outside of the Speech and Hearing Genter, in
the hall, no questions would be asked.'
- William Weidner
Speech and Hearing Center
away when the theft occurred
and could not confirm when the
skeleton was last seen.
Nevin said the lack of
progress in the case was
because of the "delayed report­ing"
of the theft. Nevin said the
actual date of the theft is
unknown, but the skeleton was
last seen on Oct. 30.
"Either someone had a key or
the room was unlocked," Nevin
said.
Since instructional equipment
funds are scarce, the purchase
of a new skeleton will affect the
purchasing of other equipment
needed throughout the college,
Campbell said.
Campbell cited only two use­ful
purposes to have a skeleton.
"Serious uses of skeletons are -
inner support of the human
body and scientific research or
teaching."
Weidner said the skeleton was
kept in lab classrooms on metal
standards, which are used to
hang the skeletons. The 10-
year-old skeleton was kept in a
lab across from the Speech and
Hearing Center, he said.
The skeleton was loaned on
occasion to other departments
in the College of Liberal Arts, he
said. Almost anybody could
have stolen the skeleton, he
said, though he said he doubts it
was stolen for profit.
Weidner estimated the origi­nal
cost of the skeleton to be
about $1,500. "The replacement
cost will have an impact on the
whole college," he said.
"If someone would return (the
skeleton) and stick it outside of
the Speech and Hearing Center,
in the hall, no questions would
be asked," Weidner said.
He said he would be glad to
have the skeleton back to save
the college money for replace­ment.
The skeleton is critically
needed, he said.

T\irnquist discusses goals, projects
Emily Rfggins
Assistant News Editor
SGA President Scott Turn-quist
discusses in this Plains­man
interview future SGA goals
and examines last quarter's
accomplishments.
What plans have been set
for the new year, and what
goals are among the SGA's
top priorities?
We've been pushing to have
the distinguishment of graduat­ing
with honors and highest
honors changed to magna cum
laude and sigma cum laude.
Also, we're pushing for intra­mural
lighting. The funding has
been approved, and it will be
going before the board. It's look­ing
positive that it will be
approved and implemented by
fall.
We're also working to get a
pavilion on campus. The admin­istration
realized the need for
outdoor recreation and feels
favorable for some type of pavil­ion.
A section of Thach Avenue
has been closed temporarily
to make way for a pedestri­an
campus. What are the
advantages of this, and how
will this affect parking?
They are never going to close
the campus off completely
because there will have to be
access for safety vehicles, handi­capped
and service vehicles.
But if areas are closed off, it
will push parking farther out.
It's been suggested that a shut­tle
system be implemented, but
the administration is concerned
with the operation and funding
costs of that.
Another option would be to
build more parking decks, which
will take away from the look of
the campus and the board is
concerned with that.
Why was the Thach area
chosen, and will the area be
developed to one similar to
the concourse?
There is the highest concen­tration
of students in that area
with the three schools. That's
12,000 students plus faculty.
The administration will be
developing that area with
benches, plants and bike racks,
plus lighting that will make the
area a lot more pleasing and
safer.
The SGA will make a rec­ommendation
to the board
of trustees concerning the
Thach closing and the Stadi­um's
fence in the student
section. What will the SGA
recommend?
Now we're in the process of
finding out students' opinions. I
want to poll students to see out
how they feel about the Thach
area as well as the fencing of
the students section of the stadi­um.
I don't know enough informa­tion
right now, but it's impor­tant
to research and find out
how students feel and make
changes if necessary. If the stu­dents
don't like the fence, we're
going to take it down.
What were some of the
SGA's accomplishments last
quarter?
There are a lot of projects that
we worked on where we didn't
get immediate results. The
move of some organizations into
Foy was delayed because there's
asbestos in the building. The
administration understands
that it is its responsibility to
make the area safe. But the
question is, who is going to pay
for the rennovations?

Although some students have trouble fit^
ting class into their schedules, disabled
students on Auburn's campus have a big­ger
problem - getting to class.
Irmo Marini, the disabled student specialist of
Special Programs, said, "If a disabled student
gets in a classroom, in say Tichenor, which isn't
accessible, they (Special Programs) contact the
registrar, and the class is moved."
It isn't hard to move the class if advance
notice is given, he said. "Generally, the profes­sors
are pretty accommodating.
"We'll try to tell them to figure out as much in
advance as possible. Then we can get the ball
rolling, and they can start the next quarter with­out
as many problems."
The Committee for Persons with Disabilities
meets on a monthly basis to discuss problems
and help break barriers for the disabled stu­dents.
The committee works on breaking physi­cal
barriers, changing attitudes and finding
what services can be provided for students,
Marini said.
"The only way the University looks ahead is if
there is a problem," he said. "I'd like to see dis­abled
students work together and to provide
feedback for the committee."
Marini is currently working with the SGA on a
survey covering each building on campus to find
what is accessible and what isn't.
"That has been one of the problems...they (the
University) don't have any guidelines to make
the campus more accessible," he said.
Marini works with SGA Director of Handicap
Affairs Tiffany Talman. Talman said, "We are
doing a handicap access guide because high
school students will call asking how accessible
Auburn is.
"As soon as we find what is accessible and
what is not, it will be published in a booklet.

Deaf girl wins in karate, life
Alan Snider
Assistant Photo Editor
Unable to hear, Maria
Lindsey, 25, proves to
herself and others that
she can achieve the same goals
that hearing people can achieve.
Lindsey, an Auburn student
from Tallassee, has been 90 per­cent
deaf since birth.
She doesn't know sign lan­guage.
She reads lips.
Despite her deafness, she
became the first hearing-impaired
American Taekwondo
Association certified instructor
in the United States.
When she was 5, her parents
took her to the University of
Alabama where she was taught
to read lips.
Her parents believed that the
oral approach, which enables
her to speak to more people,
would be better. Sign language
would allow her to speak only to
those who know sign language.
In a conversation, Lindsey's
eyes stare at the lips of the
speaker. If she understands
what the person says, she will
quickly give her reply, using her
fingers to tap her throat to
stress what she is saying.
If she doesn't understand she
continues to shake her head up
and down with a smile on her
face as if she does.
Not being able to recognize
her different sounds for particu­lar
letters can make it difficult
to understand her. In this case,
she writes what she wants to
say.
At 19, she became interested
in karate in both "mental and
physical aspects," she said. She
began taking lessons and
worked up to an assistant
trainee.
She worked as an assistant
trainee for three years and then
was certified as a karate
instructor.
"I feel deeply about karate
because of the discipline that
goes into training. I feel that it
(karate) gives a person a good
feeling about himself, whether
he ever goes all the way to a
black belt or not," she said.
In 1988, she won second place
in the State of Alabama Karate
Olympic trials. Lindsey then
went to Miami, Fla., to the
National Karate Olympic trials,
but she did not place.
"I still felt I was a winner
because I gave all I had," she
said.
She said she intends to try
the Olympics again in 1992.
Lindsey now teaches karate to
30 students of all ages in
Wetumpka. Because of her new
job, she will have to learn sign
language to teach other deaf
students.
In addition to teaching
karate, she is studying thera­peutic
recreation rehabilitation
and special education and will
have a minor in physical educa­tion.
She said she expects to
graduate in March.
Lindsey lives in Tallassee
with her parents and commutes
to class daily.
After graduation she intends
to teach handicapped people in
therapeutic recreation and
hopes to use karate in her
teaching.
"I want to give my life to
handicapped people so they can
see that, with God's help, they
can rise above obstacles that
come their way," she said.
Dr. Robert Couch, assisstant
professor in rehabilitation and
special education, who helps
Lindsey, said she and her par­ents
are determined people.
"I have great admiration and
respect for Maria," Couch said.
"She remains in the best atti­tude
and puts her trust in the
Lord to pull her through,"
Couch said.
"I do not mind hard work,"
Lindsey said. "I am willing to do
it to prove to myself that with
God's help and following his will
I can and will succeed."

Counselors try to help students learn to cope
Recovering bulimic discusses
how she found help, counseling
Editor's note: The name in this
story has been changed to protect the

Staff Writer
Alot of students have problems
such as eating disorders or
psychological problems, but
few ever seek help.
Samantha, however, realized she
had a problem and decided to try the
University's Personal Assessment/
Counseling Services (PACS).
Samantha has been a compulsive
eater and bulimic for about seven
years and has attempted suicide
twice. / /•
A bulimic is someone who has an
abnormal and constant craving for
food, according to Websters New Col­legiate
Dictionary.
A one-year PACS patient, she par­ticipates
in weekly personal counsel­ing
with Marijo Lucas, assistant coor­dinator
for PACS, and support
groups, which help a lot, she said.
"You feel alone," Samantha said.
"You feel so alienated. These people
(at PACS) really understand and
really try to help.
'Marijo is wonderful, very open and
very warm. She's very good at what
she does."
PACS helps Samantha realize she
isn't the only one with problems, she
said. The group therapy has given
her support and a sense of belonging.
There is a demand for PACS. The
program is filled to capacity even
though a student survey showed only
4 percent of those surveyed knew
about PACS, Lucas said.
It would be nice if1 more people
knew about PACS because they need
the help, Samantha said.

Please xmeck the items which
apply to you:
I need...
1. To understand more about love
and intimacy.
2. To understand myself better.
3. To learn how to express anger in
acceptable ways.
4. To understand more about human
sexuality.
These were the first four questions of
a survey the Personal Assessment/
Counseling Service (PACS) did last
fall.
"We were basically looking to find
what students wanted and to find out
how many people knew about us," said
Marijo Lucas, assistant coordinator for
the PACS at Drake Student Health
Center.
Of the 371 students who answered
the questionnaire, 62 of them knew
about personal counseling and of those,
14 knew PACS is at Drake. "Most of
them confused us with the career coun­seling
department in Mary Martin
Hall," Lucas said.
Most of the students surveyed were
upperclassmen - only 8.6 percent were
freshmen. Two-thirds of those surveyed
«
were female, Lucas said.
The survey indicated that the most
frequent concerns were learning about
one's self, expressing feelings and rela­tionships.
PACS is located on the first floor at
Drake and is free to students. Coun­selors
include PACS Director Dr. Vern
Russell, Lucas and eight graduate stu­dent
counselors. There is one counselor
on duty at the College of Veterinary
Medicine.
During fall, 416 students attended
individual counseling. "We are operat­ing
at full capacity. We don't have a
waiting list, but almost," Lucas said.
One to three groups meet each day.
Lucas said most of the students who
seek counseling are female.
"Groups were the least preferred
form of counseling until they (stu­dents)
talked to a counselor, then that
(group counseling) may become the
most preferred, Lucas said.
The topics of group counseling
include eating disorders, assertive-ness/
role playing and process-oriented
groups. In the process-oriented group
counseling, the students bring up their
different problems and work together
to overcome them.
A student who wishes to seek coun­seling
should first call to schedule an
intake interview. This is a one-on-one
meeting with a counselor which lasts
about 45 minutes.
In the interview, Lucas said, the stu­dent
is asked questions about the prob­lem,

On Fridays, the PACS staff meets to
discuss each case and advise a pro­gram
for each person. Students are
then referred to group counseling, indi­vidual
counseling, theme groups or
long-term care.
Lucas said, "A student who needs 24-
hour care or is a threat to himself may
be referred out (of the counseling
department)."
Theme groups meet between one and
four times for a lecture and discussion
session to overcome problems such as
ending a relationship or shyness,
Lucas said.
"It (counseling) is becoming more
accepted, but some people are con­cerned
that others will see them as

issues," Lucas said.

MLK honored with candlelight vigil
Teresa Gaston
News Editor
Jeff Snyder/staff
Participants in the MLK vigil place their lit candles in a
circle in honor of the late civil rights leader.
Student groups commemorat­ed
Martin Luther King Day
Monday with a candlelight vigil
held on the concourse and a pro­gram
entitled "A Dream Lives
On."
Before the lighting of the can­dles,
the president of Amnesty
International, Michael Gamboa,
spoke to the 170-person crowd
on the history of blacks and the
continuing struggle for civil
rights.
"We can each take Dr. King's
life and put it inside our own so
that we may be stronger and
wiser," Gamboa said. Students
should unite and work for
things they believe in, he said.
Gamboa then asked the crowd
to light the candles and place
them in the center of the circle
in which they stood.
120 attend annual celebration
sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha
"I ask everyone that our fire
always glows this bright," he
said.
Michael Holt, vice president of
the Black Student Union, said,
"We need to make sure we carry
the spirit of this candlelight
vigil with us."
The vigil was sponsored by
the Black Student Union and
Amnesty International, and it
ended with the crowd sining
"We Shall Overcome."
Following the vigil, Alpha Phi
Alpha held its annual program
to commemorate King's birth­day.
Kenneth Kelly, 04 EE, a mem­ber
of the fraternity, read
excerpts from King's "Letter
from a Birmingham Jail."
Auburn City Councilman
Samuel Harris spoke to the 120-
person audience in Haley Cen­ter.
Harris said he wasn't sure
whether the civil rights struggle
would have happened without
King. King brought the move­ment
together, he said.
"Through him the movement
took on universal significance,"
Harris said. "Martin believed
that freedom and dignity were
for all mankind.
"He wanted to be remembered
for trying to give his life to save
others."
However, the struggle for
equality is not over, he said. "All
is not well in America when
being black is synonymous with
being guilty."
The black community needs to
prepare its children for t he
struggle by educating them on
black history so that they will
never take a back seat again, he
said.
Harris also encouraged the
audience to appreciate the
rights they had gained and to
vote. Abstaining from voting
should be considered a slap in
the face to King, he said.
"We must do for ourselves.
There are open doors, but we
must get up and move through
them," Harris said.
The program concluded with
the audience singing, "Lift
Every Voice and Sing."

Progress at library; pharmacy opens
Stephanie Reed
Staff Writer
The relocation of books to the
Ralph B. Draughn Library addi­tion
is scheduled to begin early
in February upon its comple­tion.
"As soon as the building
inspection is completed and any
corrections that need to be made
are done, the company will
begin the book moving," accord­ing
to Don Seay, director of engi­neering
and construction for
University facilities division.
"It appears now that the relo­cation
of books will begin...
probably around Feb. 5," he
said.
Seay said he does not know
when the renovations will be
complete and the new sections
of the library will be open.
Head's Inc., the company in
charge of moving the books, will
use machines which move
books by sections instead of
individually.
"The use of the machines is
especially helpful because it will
only cause an inconvenience for
two to three hours at a time,"
Bobby Holloway, assistant Uni­versity
librarian, said.
"They will rope off a section at
a time which will make the sec­tion
unavailable for browsing by
students, but the librarians can
probably get t he book for the
student," he said.
The company will work on one
floor at a time leaving the other
floors accessible to students, he
said.
Holloway said 5 percent of the
books would be unavailable at
any given time during the move­ment.
According to Seay, the overall
construction is operating
smoothly and should not create
a major inconvenience for stu­dents.
.
"The ultimate benefits will be
great," Seay said, "and I hope
people will cooperate during the
transition period."

The Drake Student Health
Center Pharmacy, closed since
Aug. 10, will reopen this week
under a joint contract between
Toomer Drug and Glendean
Drug Inc., Health Center
Director Charles Bohmann
said.
The pharmacy was closed
fall after the University dis­missed
the previous operator,
Donald Canaan, because of
operating inefficiently and
failure to meet contractual
standards.
The University was required
by law to undergo a waiting
period after Canaan left so
claims could be made on the
pharmacy's assets.
"There've been legalities,
but the waiting period is over,
and we expect the pharmacy
to reopen this week,"
Bohmann said.
Mark Morgan, Auburn
alumnus and Toomer Drug
pharmacist, said, "We're shoot­ing
for it to open by the 22nd
at the latest. We think it will
definitely be open by t h at
date."
The Toomer and Glendean
staffs will use the remaining
time to clean the facility,
install a computerized client
file system and purchase the
stock remaining from
Canaan's administration, Mor­gan
said.
There haven't been many
problems resulting from the
pharmacy's closure because
students were patronizing
local drug stores as they
always had, Bohmann said.
Toomer Drug and Glendean
Drug Inc. will provide a pre­scription
delivery system and
other services to accommodate
students without transporta­tion,
Morgan said.

Fraternity colonizes on campus
Laura Larson
Staff Writer
A new social fraternity,
Alpha Kappa Lambda (AKL),
has colonized on campus and
will hold its official rush this
week.
Phil Sack and Brad Goode-nough,
transfer students from
Ohio State, said they decided
to s t a r t an AKL colony in
Auburn when they found that
none existed.
"The IFC has been great.
IFC officers Sean Thomas and
Brad Gruehn have been very
helpful in supplying us with
rush referral lists," Sack said.
Sack and Goodenough said
they started the Ohio State
AKL chapter three years ago. •
Sack serves as president and
Goodenough serves as vice
president of the fraternity.
AKL is an official colony and
currently has two officers and
10 pledges, Sack said.
"To become a member of
AKL one must be interviewed
and voted in unanimously by
the members," Sack said.
"We're looking for nice,
clean-cut, well-mannered and
well-rounded guys," Goode­nough
said. "We want to be
selective and maintain high
scholastic ideals and to pre­sent
an overall positive image.
"We've seen a lot of interest
in our fraternity, and we're
very enthusiastic."
Bryan Kiep, 02PB, an AKL
pledge, said he was attracted
to the fraternity because it
was something new, non-secre­tive
and showed no threat of
hazing or hell week.
Rooms open as study areas
Emily R i g g i ns
Assistant News Editor
Six rooms in Haley Center are
now temporarily open as night
study areas, SGA Secretary of
Academic Affairs Keno Helmi
said.
Haley Center rooms 3324,
3326, 3328, 3330, 3332 and
3334, which have been open at
night since last week, will
remain open if students contin­ue
using the rooms and the
areas are not damaged, Helmi
said.
"The administration wants to
see if students will be responsi­ble
enough. They stated that if
the rooms are messed up, the
privilege will be taken away
immediately," he said.
Concern for finding adequate
study areas for students was
raised after the bottom of Haley
Center, which was used as a
study and lounge area, was
closed for renovations, he said.
"Red tape" caused the delay in
designating other areas, he said.
"The administration has only
given us six rooms because they
doubt that more rooms are
needed, because the bottom of
Haley Center is open,"
said.
Helmi
The basement area was
opened at the end of last quar­ter.
The rooms will be monitored
to see if students are using
them and to determine whether
additional areas are needed, he
said.
"If the students demonstrate
that they can be responsible,
and that the demand is there for
extra study space, the adminis­tration
will gradually open up
more and more rooms," he said.

DIAMOND FACTS
FACT: There are tour factor*
that establish the value of any
diamond sold anywhere:
Cutting, Color, Clarity and
Carat Weight.
FACT: Color Is the most
important factor in establish­ing
the value of a diamond.
Crystal clear absence of color
in the body of the stone is the
most desirable. You should,
however, see "fire" in such a"
stone. Lack of the prismatic
colors suggest a poorly cut
stone. Crystal clear diamonds
are very rate indeed. Nearly all
diamonds have some degree
of-"yellow" in the body color
In the stone. The degree of
yellow is the factor which
effects the price. Degrees of
color are often so slight they
aren't recognized by the lay­man.
We have a box of
"master" diamonds in each
store to assist you in recog­nizing
that tiny color change
with each drop in color.
FACT: The terms "Blue
White," "Perfect," and
"Clean" have been so mis­used
that American Gem
Society Members are for­bidden
to use them.
FACT: Cutting is a most im­portant
factor. Maximum
beauty depends on ideal
proportions. Improper cutting
diminishes the value of any
diamond. The ideally cut
stone is proportioned so that
when a ray of light enters it,
it will be reflected back,
through the crown or top of
the diamond, with the
maximum prismatic "fire"
consistent with maximum
brilliance.
A great many claims are being made these days about "barqains"
In diamonds. Most of them sound pretty ridiculous to people in
the business of selling gemstones. However, people who are not
in the business cannot be expected to realize how nonsensical
certain claims are unless they have the facts to make a judgment.
As a member of the American Gem Society, we know the facts.
And for your sake and ours, we'd like to share them with you.
FACT: Clarity is the third
most important factor in
establishing a diamond's
value. This is the term used to
describe the presence or
absence of flaws and
blemishes. A flaw that can be
seen by the unaided eye mars
the beauty of a stone and
greatly reduces its value. So
does a distinct small external
crack known as a cleavage.
Even if this can't be seen
without a glass, it may make
the diamond more fragile and
so decreases its value.
Minute inclusions seen only
with difficulty under 10-power
magnification reduce the cost
of a diamond, but do not mar
its beauty or endanger its dur­ability.
A stone without ex­ternal
flaw or blemisn that can
be seen under 10-power mag­nification
is considered flaw­less.
Some diamonds are
being altered with laser
beams to disguise these im­perfections
A diamond cut either too deep
or too shallow below the
girdle allows an unnecessary
amount of light to escape
through its pavillion facets.
Either stone lacks maximum
"fire" and brilliancy and there­fore
is worth less per carat.
Ideal cut in a diamond. A
diamond cut with the pro­portions
indicated above will
return the majority of rays fall­ing
upon its upper facets to
the eye of an observer, as in­dicated
at the right. These
proportions are designed to
produce the greatest possible
amount pf brillancy and "fire"
in a diamond brilliant.
Diamond with too broad a
table. Both exhibit less "fire"
than correctly proportioned
diamonds and are therefore,
worth less per carat: above,
what is often referred to as a
"spread stone."
In seeking uniformity of
both terminology and
standards, the American
Gem Society has deve­loped
its own system for
grading a diamond.
Undoi this system, the
quality factors of Color
and Clarity are graded on
aOto 10 basis. A
diamond that is color­less,
and ffawless would
be graded /0/0. The
poorest quality diamond
would be graded M0/10.
Tolerances are much
narrower in the better
grades, broader in the
poorer grades. The dia­gram
shows that a
diamond graded at 5
would be much closer to
the ideal of 0 than would
a stone graded at 10.
Few diamonds on the
market today will
measure up to the ideal
of 1010. However, a
diamond can vary two or
three grades from the
ideal —In Color or
Clarity and still be a very
fine and desirable gem.

FACT: Carat weight is, in a
sense, the least important
factor in determining a
diamond's value. However, if
all other factors are equal, the
larger stone will naturally be
of greater value. It is import­ant
to understand that size
alone is no indication of the
comparative values of two or
more stones. The finer the
stone, the smaller its size at a
given price.
FACT: At Wares we let you
check the quality ol the stone
you buy with equipment de­signed
for that very purpose.
As a member of the American
Gem Society, we have several
methods of showing you
^ . . n ^
ewelers v";
whuttic: /C'jf diamond meets
the standards we claim for It..
1. We have a permanent set of
pre-graded Master Diamonds
against which you can com­pare
your stone for color.
2. We will show you under our
Diamondscope any stone you
care to consider. We will
point out to you any flaws or
inclusions, however tiny, that
determines its clarity.
FACT: Wares gives you a cert­ificate
specifying the qual­ities
of any diamond you
select. Ware's diamond cert­ificate
states the shape, color,
perfection, cutting, weight
and proportions, it certifies
mounting style, finger size
and replacement value. Check
the so called "guarantees" of
many firms. If they do not con­tain
this information, you may
want to find out why they.are
reluctant to put their specific
claims into writing.
FACT: Wares is a member of
the American Gem Society.
This is important because
membership in AGS not only
must be earned by passing
stringent examinations, It is
renewable yearly and can be
withheld (1) if any question
arises as to a member's know­ledge
of diamonds and other
gem stones, and (2) when
there is any question that a
member is representing his
products ethically and ac­curately.
FACT: We have been in
business in the same location
since 1946. We have 3 mem­bers
of our staff that hold
degrees of Graduate Qemoio
gist from the Gemologlcal
Institute of America. We have
2 members of our staft that
are Registered with the Amer­ican
Gem Society. We plan to
be right here for a long, long
time.
FACT: We have our own etatl
of craftsmen. ...jewelers,
diamond setters, engravers
and watch repair personel.
Many of our sales are design­ed
and manufactured right in
our own shops.
FACT: We Invite anyone
that would Ilka to discuss dia­monds
to drop In for a "chat."
Wares trained diamond ex­perts
will explain, answer
your quest Ions...help you to
understand diamonds. We
want your business and the
more you understand about
diamonds the better our
chances are of getting that
business.

January 18,1990 The Auburn Plainsman A-7
Salaries, education reviewed
Sheila Hall
Staff Writer
The Alabama State Legisla­ture
began its first session of
the decade on J a n . 9 and
worked to increase the general
fund and Special Education
Trust Fund in an effort to
raise salaries of state employ­ees
and teachers and avoid
controversy.
"The No. 1 issue will be the
budgets. It's the single objec­tive
that everyone agrees on,"
Dr. Gerald Johnson, associate
professor of political science,
said.
Because it is an election
year, Johnson said, legislators
are less likely to push contro­versial
bills, such as bills
regarding abortion and a lot­tery.
Money in the Special Educa­tion
Trust Fund has already
been earmarked for a raise in
teachers' pay, but the general
fund is not in good shape,
Johnson said.
"There is not enough there
to provide a salary increase for
state employees."
Gov. Guy Hunt proposed a
tax on hazardous waste shin-ments
in an effort to increase
revenue for the general fund.
According to Margaret
Latimer, associate professor of
political science, the governor
wants to tax out-of-state com­panies
more than in-state
companies.
"This tax proposes constitu­tional
questions," Latimer
said. Legislators will have to
decide if the tax violates the
Equal Protection Clause, she
said.
Johnson said he predicts the
budget approvals will be the
only major bills that get
passed.
Three abortion bills await
committee hearings in late
January, but they probably
will not make it to the floor,
Latimer said.
One of the bills, introduced
by Rep. J.E. Turner (R-Cit-ronelle),
bans abortion with
the exception of rape, incest
and the welfare of the mother.
Turner's bill also says that
anyone performing an abor­tion
would be fined a mini­mum
of $10,000.
Rep. Morris "Mo" Brooks (R-Huntsville)
wrote a bill
proposing a state constitution­al
amendment to ban abortion.
A bill proposed by Sen. John
Rice (R-Opelika) states that
life begins at conception, mak­ing
it a felony to perform an
abortion, except in cases of
rape and incest.
"Legislators would prefer
not taking a stand on this
issue because they risk losing
supporters," Latimer said.
Johnson agreed with
Latimer and said, "It's a no-win
issue because the elec­torate
is not clear."
The legislative process is
designed to prevent legislation
from being enacted, Johnson
said. "If there is not a real con­sensus
on any issue, it's easy
to be stopped."
This is the first time in
Alabama history since the
Civil War that the state has
had a republican governor and
a democrat-controlled legisla­ture,
he said.
"This is unique in the mod­ern
history of the state," John­son
said. "For the first time
there's partisanship."
This partisanship and the
Nov. 6 elections are "working
against enactment of legisla­tion,"
he said.

Legislature
considers
landfill site
Gretchen P. Skalka
Staff Writer
The hazardous waste landfill
at Emelle, Ala., will be given
much consideration during the
current session of the Alabama
Legislature, Gov. Guy Hunt said
at a briefing for reporters last
week.
Hunt said Alabamians have to
start slowing down the landfill-ing
of hazardous waste. To do
this, he has proposed increasing
the fee for dumping hazardous
waste again.
Alabama's hazardous waste
facility was built at Emelle
because the Selma chalk under­lying
the area was believed to
prevent contaminants from get­ting
into the water resources of
the Eutaw aquifer beneath,,
according to Conner Bailey,
associate professor in the
department of rural sociology.
However, fractures found in
the chalk pose possible threats
of contaminating the state's
water resources, Bailey said.

sor in the department of geology,
said he has studied the Selma
chalk and found fractures rang­ing
in size from 50 feet to 100
feet long and up to 100 feet
deep.
"Another factor contributing
to possible contamination is
that the chalk under the Emelle
landfill is not pure by any
means," King said, "and these
impurities compounded with
sand layers and beds within the
chalk serve to act as avenues for
enhanced fluid movement."
He said that although he has
not specifically studied the
Emelle site chalk, it is logical to
assume it is fractured as severe­ly
as in other areas of the same
chalk layer.
Bailey said, "It's commonly
known that all landfills leak.
It's just a matter of when."
King said more in-depth stud­ies
are needed to determine the
effects of the impurities, frac­tures
and sand movements on
water resources beneath the
area.
"As long as our society pro­duces
wastes, we have to have
places to dispose of them, and
unless we go back to a prehis­toric
way of life, we will always
produce waste," Bailey said.

continued from A-l
"We better ourselves and
honor him (King) when we
dream," Harris said.
Keynote speaker Spiver
Gordon, city councilman of
Eutaw, Ala., encouraged the
audience not to give up on the
civil rights struggle.
Blacks are still struggling
for more jobs, better educa­tion
and economic strength,
Gordon said.
"We don't want no food
stamps," he said. "We want
our share."
All buildings might contain asbestos
continued from A-l
That might be in every build­ing,"
Drake said.
"There is probably friable
asbestos in a number of build­ings
also. But i t may be in areas
that are not readily assessable
to human beings. It may be
enclosed inside of walls, it may
be in crawl spaces. It may be in
ceiling systems that are above
ceiling.
Few buildings have friable
asbestos in areas people can
access, Drake said.
"The concern of the adminis­tration
and the board of trustees
has been to eliminate asbestos
from all our campus as early as
we can consistent with funds
that we have available to do
that," he said.
"The intent was to begin at
the places of greatest exposure.
The south women's dormitories,
where the asbestos was sprayed
on the ceiling and would become
friable if you touched it, hap­pened
to be just that."
Drake said the other housing
areas do not have friable
asbestos in exposed locations,
only non-friable.
"Now when we leave the hous­ing
units and go to the academic
areas, probably the building
which constitutes one of our
concerns is Dunstan Hall. It has
the same type of asbestos that
was present in the dormitories,
sprayed on to the ceiling," he
said.
"Our tentative plans are to
remove that this coming sum­mer
when the occupants of that
building may be relocated to
other areas. But those plans,
now, are simply in a tentative
stage."
According to Drake, "The sin­gle
largest building in which
there is asbestos is the Haley
Center. A plan has been devel­oped
by which asbestos may be
removed from that building.
That plan in coupled to a
restoration effort which in total
is quite considerable in costs. So
that one is in a state of exami­nation
and evaluation at the
moment.
"There is asbestos in the
union building. Most of t he
asbestos in the union building is
not in an exposed location, but it
becomes an issue when we go in
to do renovation work."
Drake said he is not aware of
any regulations setting dead­lines
for removal of asbestos.
"Quiet frankly, knowing as I
do from a personal standpoint
the degree of commitment that
Auburn University's adminis­tration
and Auburn University's
board of trustees gives to this
issue, I would think that they
(students) are probably safer
here because there is a firm and
solid commitment to its
removal."
Health risks
of asbestos
continued from A-l
ronmental Management
(ADEM) said, "There is no
current regulation in this
state to measure air. There is
a national law that requires
sampling of primary and sec­ondary
schools, but that does
not include kindergarten or
colleges."
"Auburn basically is doing a
great job in i removing
asbestos," Hoffmann said.
"They are more aggressive
and better funded than many
of the other schools in the
state."

Low priority
WELCOME TO THE '90s, AUBURN, where
progress is fast and priorities lay by the wayside.
Among the administration's lost priorities are
the needs of handicapped students, many of whom seem
resigned to the bureaucracy t h a t places plans to improve
the accessibility of their campus buildings "somewhere in
the future."
Of course, t h a t ' s not to say no one cares.
The Committee for Persons with Disabilities meets
monthly to discuss problems handicapped students are
incurring. But the disabled student specialist of special
programs said t h e University doesn't look to improve
areas t h a t aren't a problem.
The Committee is helpful in t h a t it seeks to ease prob­lems
brought to its attention, but few actions are being
taken by the University to prevent the many obstacles of
handicapped students.
For instance, if a handicapped student needs access to a
building t h a t isn't equipped with ramps or other necessary
facilities, t h e class is moved. Administrators claim such a
measure is an effective way to deal with the problem.
More t h a n an inconvenience, it's an outrage.
Some administrators would claim changes are being
made to accommodate t h e disabled, but many of these
were not initiated by any official plan. Instead, installa­tion
of ramps - like t h e ones recently constructed at the
renovated hill dorms - are only in accordance with the
law.
The administration cannot even use lack of finances as a
crutch. There are funds, like t h e $1,800 raised by t h e SGA
during fall 1988 to help construct a ramp at Langdon Hall,
that currently sits untouched in a University trust fund.
The argument t h a t such accommodations only affect a
minority on Auburn's campus is a pathetic excuse as well.
Accessibility to ALL campus buildings should be a primary
concern of t h e University - not an afterthought.
Asbestos relief
IT'S NO SECRET t h a t t h e University's buildings are
impregnated with asbestos, but Auburn's attitude
toward t h e problem is certainly a surprise.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated
last July that approximately 10,000 people die annually
from cancer caused by asbestos exposure. The EPA even
went so far as to propose a ban on use of t h e carcinogen by
1997.
University administrators say Auburn is removing the
asbestos as quickly and efficiently as funds will permit.
But for the students who roam the halls of buildings like
Dunstan Hall, Haley Center and Foy Union, the t h r e a t of
exposure to t h e hazardous substance remains.
Vice President for Facilities Stanley R. Drake said one
area of concern - the t h r e a t of exposure from asbestos
located beneath floor tiles - would have to be disturbed to
present a problem and represents only a slight health haz­ard.
But we're not convinced. Research completed in the last
decade suggests normal wear of such floor tiles could
release important concentrations of asbestos into the air.
Certainly the University is doing all it can to remove the
carcinogen from all effected buildings in a timely manner.
But the attitude of some administrators is one t h a t seems
to lack concern and knowledge of t h e t r u e hazards
asbestos presents.
No effort has been made by the University to educate
faculty and students about the problem, yet according to
Drake, it is a problem t h a t may affect every building - and
consequently, every person - on campus. To prevent panic
across campus, the University must continue to educate
all students and faculty about which buildings house the
mineral and keep t h e public informed of removal status.
Ignoring it can make it go away
'I am not for abortion; nobody
is for abortion. I am for your
right to make your own hard
choices in this world.'
- Linda Ellerbee
Ignore Roe v. Wade, circa
1973.
For decades women fought
their glorious causes to vote, to
get equal pay for equal work, to
speak when not spoken to and
to win the freedom closed doors
afford every man — reproductive
freedom.
Ignore rights and they'll go
away. Guaranteed. With the
Supreme Court's Webster v.
Reproductive Health Services
decision that passed the buck of
abortion laws to individual
states last July, pro-life folks are
hoping women who once gave a
damn about their personal
rights will do just that.
Call it apathy. It took the
masses to get such rights in
men-on-top times, but it's the
special interest groups —
National Organization for
Women, League of Women Vot­ers
and Gray Panthers, to name
a few — that dominate the pro-choice
scene today.
But these are crucial times
when every voice counts.
Alabama's legislature is con­sidering
what could be the
toughest bill in the nation and,
if adopted, perhaps the greatest
infringement on women's rights
by the government to date.
The bill, known euphemisti­cally
as "The Children's and
Mothers' Life and Protection
Act," is backed by many state
representatives, including our
own Sen. John Rice, R - Opelika.
Not so shocking.
What is shocking is the bill's
contents, which allows abortions
to be performed only on rape
victims, incest victims younger
than 19 and in cases where the
mother's life is in danger.
Also proposed is regulation
that would require abortions to
be performed only in licensed
hospitals, and for clinics to
report names of women obtain­ing
abortions and their reasons
for doing so.
Pro-lifers, for the sake of
argument, let's assume for a
moment that women are human
beings and that this country
clearly separates church and
state in that too-often-distorted
document we call the Constitu­tion.
Now argue against every
woman's right to reproductive
freedom.
Quite simply, you can't.
Read any Bible passage as a
basis for why abortion should be
outlawed and you've just
merged church and state.
Try to instill fear by saying
God won't tolerate the blood­shed
of abortion. Then raise the
children of women who are will­ing
to face the hereinafter for
their life on this earth. (And
make sure every woman in
America believes there is a God.
You'll be surprised.)
America's morals should
clearly, be left to the individual
in cases that do not threaten
society's existence. Laws with a
moral base - murder, rape,
theft, etc. - have been dictated
by the masses and have there­fore
been accepted.
Few citizens would argue such
laws are unconstitutional. But
abortion enjoys no masses.
Instead, its fate relies on war­ring
groups to make boundaries
no man or woman can truly
define.
Clouding the issue is a group
of politicians, predominantly
male, who are too afraid of
going against the closed-minded
segments of their constituency
long enough to realize that this
is not a choice they should be
making for women.
So they'll go on exploiting
what were once women's free­doms,
and the masses will let
them do it. Idly sitting by ignor­ing
Roe v. Wade, women not
associated with groups or acting
as individuals that protest the
absurd legislation currently
before our Montgomery men are
letting go of the reigns of free­dom
we once held tight.
We can ignore it. And guaran­teed,
it will go away.
Notes from the collegiate ranks
Here it is folks. One writer's
incessant ramblings on current
world events.
Not that my ramblings are
correct or even coherent mind
you, but since all of the topics
listed below have received a
multitude of inches and hours of
tape from the national media, I
thought they deserved some
comment from the collegiate
ranks.
So here for your enjoyment (or
more likely, vicious letters to the
editor) are my words of...well,
my words anyhow.
• The U.S. invasion of Panama
It was correct, timely and prop­er.
Many people have compared
our invasion of Panama to the
Soviet Union's invasion of
Afghanistan. The key difference
which people are ignoring, how­ever,
is the reason behind our
invasion. We invaded to put a
democratic government into
place, not to ensure that a Com­munist
government remained in
power. Pretty awful thing for us
to do, huh?
Notwithstanding all of Norie­ga's
underhanded dealings, it
was evident by the celebration
of the Panamanian people in the
streets that our invasion was
not only necessary but also
desired.
• Women in combat
Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
last Sunday that he believed it
was the will of the American
people that women should not
be allowed into combat and that
he didn't think that would
change soon.
I agree. Women are just as
Wade
Williams
Assistant
Features Editor
capable as men in all areas
except one — physical strength.
In order for women to be as
effective in combat as men, they
must possess the same physical
strength.
For some reason, many
women refuse to accept that
their biological makeup just will
not allow them, with a few
exceptions, to gain the same
physical strength as men.
As for the women who were
fired upon in Panama, they
were not sent in a group whose
purpose was to engage in com­bat.
They, were only allowed to
fire if fired upon.
As it happened, they were
fired upon. But, because laws
enacted by Congress prevent
them from being in a combat
unit, they cannot receive combat
awards. The Army would be
breaking the law if they gave
those awards to the women.
• The end of the Cold War and
the "Peace Dividend"
The Cold War is most certainly
over. If Mikhail Gorbachev can
stay in office, our generation
may see a peace like one which
has never existed before. It is
my prediction, given that Gor­bachev
stays in office, that we
will see the elimination of
almost all nuclear weapons
within the next 10 years.
Although the Cold War is
over, we should still err on the
side of caution. We may be able
to open trade and economic
channels, but I don't think it's
time yet to start exporting our
latest technology.
The so-called "Peace Divi­dend,"
the money which will be
saved from Defense Department
cutbacks as a result of better
relations with the Soviet Union,
should go solely to the reduction
of the deficit. Once the budget is
balanced, we can begin working
on our domestic problems of
crime, poverty, poor education,
etc.
If nothing is resolved during
the next few years, we can at
least be certain that the above
topics will continue to make
headlines and stir controversy.
That however, is a good thing. I
need fuel for the column-writing
fire.

The world is my oyster and other lies
You may have heard about the
Plainsman award "scandal",
maybe not. Regardless, I'd like
to introduce you to someone
associated with it. His name is
Fred and for the next six para­graphs
he's gonna be your best
pal.
Fred's got incredible talent,
more than you've ever seen
before, and for this you will
respect Fred more than anyone
else.
Not only has Fred got talent,
he's also got charisma. He'll
make you happy when you're
sad, motivate you when you
would rather veg out to soaps
and fill you with more energy
than you've ever seen.
But wait — Fred's got more.
An unmistakable sense of good
will, good taste and an open
mind. Heck, he'll even buy you
some smokes when you run out.
Next thing you know, you
trust him (Go figure that). You
share a lot about your life with
him, and he does the same with
you. What do you know, you are
pals.
I knew a Fred. At least I
thought I did. But now, all
things considered, Fred may as
well be dead.
Now. Now there is this slimy
goop tightly encasing my skin.
And I'm not really sure how to
get rid of it. You see, Fred lied to
me. I knew him for a year before
I found out his first lie. Then a
second. Then a third. Then a life
of lies.
These lies were not normal
lies. They equalled mental rape.
After experiencing this, I feel
like I have a new perspective on
life, at least in a small scope.
Now, I don't think I'll ever forget
any lie I've ever told someone. I
used to think that they would
eventually go away. But some­how
they always come back.
It's starting to feel like there
was a Fred inside me and he
only got out on occasion. No,
wait a minute, that can't be
true.
I just can't seem, to get this
goop off me.
No, I only told little social lies
and white lies. OK maybe I told
one or two medium-sized lies.
But they were just to protect
myself. Shut up Fred.
OK, so I lied about that one
incident to my father. And
maybe that time I told that girl
a few things so she would've
have liked me more. Please shut
up Fred.
But Fred won't go away until
you face him. Maybe someday
you'll meet a Fred. Perhaps your
own, perhaps someone else's.
In the meantime, don't worry
about the slimy goop. It will
turn clear or disappear with the
next change of clothes. But
please don't worry; I'm sure it's
temporary.

actors make their own stage.

Letters
Salaries not only concern
Editor, The Plainsman:
On behalf of the Auburn
Women's Caucus, we would
like to address several of the
statements made and issues
raised by the article, "Liver-ance:
no cuts from personnel
plan," which appeared in the
Oct. 12 issue of The Plains­man.
Liverance is said to attribute
most of the complaints con­cerning
the new job classifica­tion
system to employees who
are not satisfied with their
salary ranges.
He stated that this is pri­marily
because information
about the salary ranges of
other employees is more acces­sible
to the employees under
the new system.
He further stated that, "A
number of people are not satis­fied
with their salary grade
because they are seeing what
other people are making or
seeing where other people are
placed (on the salary scale)."
These statements, however,
are not an accurate represen­tation
of the underlying con­cerns
of many of the staff.
Information on the entire
salary budget, including all
individual salaries, has been
available for the past 10 fiscal
years. Staff members are con­cerned
about salary ranges
because, as admitted by the
administration, they are still
at least 10 percent below local
market levels.
Additionally, some starting
salaries have been reduced for
a number of positions under
the new system (e.g., by $3200
for accountants and $1600 for
sales cashiers).
At the upper end of the
salary scale there are numer­ous
positions, frequently held
by career professional women,
for which the salaries have
been frozen. The problems
have contributed to an erosion
of morale among our staff.
Further, the job classifica­tion
system appears to be
inconsistent with respect to
educational requirements for
positions. For example, within
grade level 14, some positions
require only a high school
diploma or bachelor's degree
while others at the same level
require a master's degree.
The new system has upgrad­ed
entry level educational
requirements such that, if an
individual leaves his/her cur­rent
position, he/she would not
meet the new requirements.
These upgraded educational
requirements also will mean
that opportunities for promo­tion
will be extremely limited
for those staff who have risen
through the ranks at Auburn.
According to the article, Liv­erance
claimed that the first
phase of the job classification
system has been completed
and, as a result, 2600 accurate
job descriptions were devel­oped.
However, a large proportion
of the descriptions produced
were not accurate and are cur­rently
being revised.
In many cases this was due
to a failure of the process
whereby supervisors were to
have reviewed and approved
the final drafts of their
employees' job descriptions.
Unfortunately, this review pro­cess
was omitted in numerous
cases.
On the other hand, the con­cern
expressed by Yvonne
Kozlowski, that employees will
lose their representation in the
University Senate, is an accu­rate
statement.
The new system has
removed the "academic" classi­fication
from approximately
800 administrative employees.
These people formerly were
represented in the University
Senate but have lost their rep­resentation
under the new sys­tem.
The Women's Caucus also is
concerned that rankings of
positions have often been
affected by whether an individ­ual's
position deals directly
with budgetary control func­tions
rather than a position
requiring interpersonal or
interactive skills.
It appears that rankings for
individuals involved in fiscal
matters were ultimately
placed at higher levels than
those of individuals involved in
student personnel positions
such as academic advisers,
counselors, and the Student
Development Office.
The Women's Caucus sup­ports
the administration's
attempt to simplify the job
classification scheme for the
University.
However, we recognize, and
hope that the administration
and its representatives also
recognize that the new system
has created a number of seri­ous
issues of equitable treat­ment
and representation is the
true concern of the employees
of Auburn University, not
whether an individual's salary
is higher or lower than some­one
else's.

Editor, The Plainsman:
It is good policy to welcome
criticism, even if it is of the
personal, ad hominem type.
"The truth will out," so they
say, and ordinarily I believe
that.
Unfortunately, the errors
and weak logic contained in
Daniel J. Nelson's letter of
Jan. 11 command notice. His
remarks are not only confused
and superficial but downright
peculiar for a political "scien­tist."
Although the point of my
recent letter to The Plains­man
was that anything resem­bling
"comparable worth" in
university salary scales was
doomed to failure, I stand by
my condemnation of the tenure
system as it currently exists in
America.
Nelson's view that my ques­tioning
of this "sacred cow" of
academics is "orthodox" could
not be further from the truth.
Controls, rules, regulations,
workplace impediments, totali­tarianism
and dictatorship
comprise the orthodoxy and
stuff of most of human history.
In terms of social science,
the shopworn and increasingly
irrelevant no-think, hand-wringing
Rooseveltian liberal­ism
is the orthodoxy that has
led many of these "sciences"
down blind alleys for the past
half century. Sorry, Professor
Nelson, what's old is new
again.
Nelson's argument — sur­prising
for a political scientist-
- that tenure is the differenti­ating
feature between Soviet
universities and those in
America is simply wrong.
Tenure is meaningless in the
Soviet Union because it is not
protected by an enforceable
and meaningful constitution
which guarantees rights of free
speech. It is our Constitution,
not a medieval tenure system,
that provides rights of free
speech.
Nelson's extraordinarily poor
argument for tenure's "historic
role" is likewise uninformed.
In our democracy and in all
truly fee societies, it is not
tenure that protects new or
unpopular ideas.
It is the market system that
provides the richest environ­ment
for popular (and unpopu­lar)
ideas to flourish. In Plato's
(unflattering) sentiment,
democracy is a bazaar of con­stitutions
and characters. It
requires a free and open mar­ketplace
for ideas of all kinds,
but a market does not guaran­tee
that all ideas survive.
Indeed, the market often
contains signals that some
ideas may not be worth pursu­ing.
In all cases, competition in
idea production and in the pro­vision
of educational services
assures maximum diversity
and intellectual progress.
A tenure system, at base, is
more an assurance that irrele­vant
and unproductive types of
research will be preserved
than it is an incentive to new
ideas or a,protection of intel­lectual
capital.
Nelson's naivete is nowhere
more evident than in his "prac­tical"
arguments for tenure. In
"all-or-nothing" logic he
believes that the "one case of
free speech" protected by
tenure is worth any and all
costs.
This is ridiculous on two
counts. If first amendment
rights protect free speech in
environments such as the uni­versity,
then tenure is super­fluous.
More importantly, Nelson
will fail to convince genera­tions
of students who have
daydreamed and slept through
unbelievable boredom in
unimaginative, cloying lec­tures
from some tenured facul­ty
:
As students we have all
"done time" in this regard and
the proverbial Professor Mor­pheus
is still with us. Are
these costs worth maintaining
a second-line defense of "free
speech?" Even the American
Association of University Pro­fessors
has asked the question.
Finally, Nelson accuses me
and colleagues in my "ortho­dox"
department and College
of having no new ideas (he
obviously does not know my
colleagues).
We in the Economics Depart­ment
and the College of Busi­ness
take consolation in the
fact that cadres of journal edi­tors,
university press and mar­ket
publishers, and research
supporters obviously do not
agree with him.
Since Nelson believes that I
have no new ideas, let me give
him one: It is that all artificial
market interferences (such as
tenure, TV license, rent con­trols,
taxi medallions and
other bad concepts and poli­cies)
all have a limited shelf
life. When they become obvi­ously
unproductive or counter­productive
through technologi­cal
or market changes, they
are rendered superfluous.
Auto unions will not die
because of legal changes
Inherent inefficiencies, re­vealed
through the competitive
process, have rendered them
largely beside the point.
Nothing and nobody can put
them back together again. The
same applies to tenure as now
constituted and to the costly
and dead-end paths taken by
certain social sciences in the
past and present generation.
Will we ever learn from our
mistakes? Well, maybe next
time.

Glance back
5 years ago, 1985: The University Senate criticized the Board of Trustees for making an "abrupt"
decision when approving the expansion of Jordan-Hare Stadium which damages Auburn's "credibil­ity
as an institution dedicated first and foremost to academic excellence."
10 years ago, 1980: Part one in a three-part series began on the problem of grade-fixing among
college athletes. Students and athletes interviewed from Auburn called the problem widespread on
the Plains.
20 years ago, 1970: Coeds were allowed visitation in fraternity dorm sections for the first time in
Auburn's history. President Harry M. Philpott approved the measure after receiving the proposal
from the Committee on Fraternities in December. Fraternities were granted discretion on visitation
hours, though limits were set by the Interfraternity Council.
Quote of the week
"If someone would return (the skeleton) and stick it outside of the Speech and Hearing Center, in
the hall, no questions would be asked." — Dr. William Weidner of the Speech and Hearing Center on
the theft of a skeleton — valued somewhere between $1,500 to $2,000 - from Haley Center last
quarter.

Blind trust one of U.S. fallacies
Editor, The Plainsman:
Jennifer Allen's editorial
"Make history: don't repeat it,"
advocates a worthy sentiment.
Unfortunately, her argument
actually displays the fallacy
she asks us to avoid.
The column cites the U.S.
conflicts in Korea and Vietnam
as "noble and self-sacrificing
gestures" that failed. It also
holds the view that the U.S.
acts consistently as a "Cham­pion
of Democracy."
These are examples of the
unfortunate naivete and
unquestioning trust U.S. citi­zens
have towards the policies
of our leaders. Such behavior
we have shown in the past as
we still do today.
This is the mistake we
should strive to correct and not
repeat. This failure of the pop­ulace
to check the leaders
gives a carte blanche towards
costly and unscrupulous poli­cies.
Careful evaluation of recent
history shows that one of our
greatest fallacies has been in
the blind trust we have in our
leaders' intentions.
We held no doubts when we
were told that the threats to
American imperialism and
quest for influence were
threats to our home.
We believed that although
the United States shared equal
responsibility in instigating as
well as maintaining the cold
war and in spite of the dis­graceful
carnage in Korea and
Vietnam, we were performing
noble and self-sacrificing ges­tures.
Allen suggests that in order
to avoid repeating our mis­takes
as we act upon the excit­ing
events in our time, we con­sider
the past.
To correctly apply this reso­lution
however, we must give a
careful and enlightened exami­nation
of our history to find
where our mistakes truly lie.

'Honor God with your body*
Editor, The Plainsman:
Sex is a beautiful gift from
God, given out of love, for plea­sure
as well as reproduction.
It is an expression which
unites two individuals mental­ly,
physically, and spiritually
while becoming together one
flesh and one being.
Sex is intended for the
bounds of marriage only. Yet,
this is not to punish mankind,
but to protect all men and
women from harm - physical
as well as emotional and spiri­tual
harm.
Mankind has perverted sex
by turning away from God's
perfect plan to follow his own
stubborn self-will. Men and
women alike have chosen to
seek their own pleasures and
negate what sex was intended
to be.
Because of mankind's per­versity,
disease, homosexuality,
unwanted pregnancies, and
abortions are the outcome of
illicit sex.
People are even coming out
to state publicly how proud
they are to engage in such con­duct.
In today's society, virgins
are in the extreme minority
and traditional values are lost.
This should not be!
We all must be responsible
adults and look at the conse­quences
involved. Men, we
must think with the right head
and be the sensible leader in
the relationship.
Women, it's your bodies. For
this reason, you should choose
to protect and not destroy your
body, nor the life of a child in
your womb.
We are commanded in I
Corinthians 6:18 to "flee from
sexual immorality," or we shall
reap what we have sown in our
relationships.
Wherever you are now in
your life and sexual activity, I
challenge you to take a step
back and reevaluate your
lifestyle to understand the
risks you are taking - and
honor God with your body.

Bulimic girl finds help for problem
continued from A-3
Her parents, who didn't know
she was bulimic or went to
counseling until last summer,
were a main cause of her bulim­ia,
she said.
The youngest of four, Saman-tha
was under a lot of stress to
perform. She had to get good
grades, be thin and perfect, she
said.
Now that her family knows
about her problem, it tries to be
supportive. Although she still
attends PACS, she is also seek­ing
therapy in her hometown.
"They pay for everything (pri­vate
counseling) but it hurts
them," Samantha said.
"It's like they've failed, but it's
my problem," she said. "If they
can't handle the fact, well, it's
something I have to do for
myself."
Samantha has put a lot of
work into solving her problem.
She knows she will have to live
with bulimia for the rest of her
life, but she's "functional," she
said.
"I refuse to go through life
bulimic, because I know there's
something better," Samantha
said. "I probably would be dead
right now if it wasn't for PACS."
PACS helps Auburn students
cope with variety of disorders
continued from A-3
they need to do is let us know
about a week ahead of time so
we can schedule it," she said.
If you know someone who
needs counseling, Lucas said
she recommends confronting
them openly about the
problem.
"They want help and are
crying out for it through their
behavior. Usually they're glad
someone is willing to help,"
she said.
When suggesting PACS to
someone, Lucas said, "You
may want to offer to walk over
with them.
"Be calm and try not to
make a crisis about it. Don't
pressure them, just offer
support."

University
sites closed
to disabled
continued from A-3
There has been a problem with
ramps. It takes six months to a
year to get one up."
Because the disabled students
are protected, they are not
required to tell the University
they are disabled. "If we had
more students we'd have a
stronger voice," Talman said.
Some projects the University
has recently completed, Marini
said, include two handicap
parking spaces outside Foy
Union, two outside Haley
Center and the wheelchair ramp
at Mary Martin Hall. Ramps
have also been added to all the
renovated hill dorms.
"Any change to a building that
the University makes after 1977
must have a ramp - it's law,"
Marini said. "Most of the
buildings on Auburn's campus
were constructed before that
and that leaves a lot of work to
do."
A ramp at Langdon Hall was
supposed to be added so that
students in wheelchairs could
see the free movie on regular
nights. These students have to
watch movies on Wednesday
nights in Foy, which is
wheelchair accessible, Marini
said.
The SGA has raised $1,800 to
build the ramp at Langdon, he
said.
"It's a form of segregation
because they don't want to build
a ramp," Marini said. "I'm not
sure why. I know they don't
want to build it (a ramp) at
Samford because it is a
historical building and there are
a number of legalities."
Keno Helmi, last years
director of marketing research
and fundraising, said, "The
money is in a trust fund which
Stanley Drake is in charge of."
The money was raised at a
VIP student auction in the fall
of 1988. "It (the ramp) was in
the working as I was exiting
office," Helmi said.
There was a complaint filed
against the University and its
accessibility by a former
graduate student, Mac
McCullough.
"He ran into problems a
number of times," Marini said.
"(He had) a lot of horror stories
about getting stuck in elevators
and on floors when the elevator
was broken while just trying to
get through day to day.
"I guess he felt the University
wasn't moving fast enough."

Cartoonist gone berserk
Michael Gordon
Village Life Editor
Welcome to a world of
one-eared bunnies,
angst, grief ridden
black comedy and
mutant fez-wearing Charlie
Browns - Welcome to Life in
Hell.
Matt Groening's widely popu­lar
comic strip, Life in Hell, and
his latest project, an adult sit­com
cartoon titled The Simp­sons
(Sunday nights on the Fox
network) are the result of a life­long
passion with cartooning, he
said.
Groening (pronounced Gray-ning),
is a 35-year-old native of
the Pacific Northwest, who upon
graduation from college, jour­neyed
south to become a writer
in the fantasy world of Los
Angeles.
But dreams came face to face
with reality the minute he
arrived in town.
"My car broke down in the
fast lane of the Hollywood free­way
around midnight. Millions
of drivers were blowing by me,
honking their horns and
screaming obscenities," Groen­ing
said.
From then on Groening
worked several jobs that he
despised. "I was living a life in
hell," he said.
While living in Los Angeles he
wrote to his friends in Washing­ton
via comic strips in lieu of
the normal mode of correspon­dence.
"I wrote them in the form
of a comic strip called Life in
Hell," he said.
Groenings friends urged him
to do something with the
comics, he said, so he showed
Life in Hell to a Los Angeles
newspaper.
"The newspaper liked them so
much that they hired me on the
spot; unfortunately it was just
to deliver newspapers," he said.
But eventually Groening
made it big, was made an editor
at the paper and his comics
were syndicated.
"I knew that I was going to be
doing comics all of my life but I
did not know it would get this
big," he said. "I did not think
that there was a forum for my
work."
Several newspapers and read­ers
are offended by the name of
the cartoon. "There are people
for whom the word 'hell' sets off
fire in their brain," he said. "It
is not my intention to offend
someone or to promote their
flipping out."
"It is easy to imagine that
people who believe in eternal
damnation and are able to imag­ine
teeth gnashing and flames
leaping up, etc., could get upset
by this.
MA*¥ 64D«.K))>?6
"Hell has been overused so
much in the last 10 years that
the other day I even saw a com­mercial
for a pickup and it was
advertised as the 'pickup from
hell.'
"I don't think the title is offen­sive.
"I write for myself and I write
to make myself laugh, that is
the best thing for any comic to
do," he said.
Life in Hell is "about the ques­tions
that plague people late at
night when they are lying in
bed."
Groening said he tries to tack­le
larger, more plaguing ques­tions
than most comic artists. "I
am always amazed that cartoon­ists
don't ever draw on the larg­er
subjects," he said, "They are
content with the trivial."
"Life in Hell is self help for
me. When I wrote Love is Hell (a
comic book about love and
heartache), it was to talk myself
out of being depressed after a
breakup," he said.
Two of the main characters of
Life in Hell are a pair of "broth­ers
or lovers or both" named
Akbar and Jeff.
"Akbar and Jeff came about in
the fifth grade when some bud­dies
and I were sitting around
trying to draw Charlie Brown,"
Groening said.
"After repeated failures the
characters sort of mutated into
Akbar and Jeff.
"Originally there was only one
and he did not have a name or a
fez, it was not until much later
that they became lovers or
brothers or both," Groening
said.
The other characters in the
strip are a family of rabbits
named Binkie, Bongo and
Sheba. Groening said he chose
the rabbits because, "they are
the only animal that I can
draw."
Groening's latest project The
Simpsons, is the result of some
animated shorts that he did for
the Tracey Ullman Show on the
Fox network.
"It is an adult cartoon sitcom
for prime time, some people say
'like The Flintstones,' but no its
not like The Flintstones,"
Groening said. "This is for
adults who can think.
"I have always said that if I
ever had my own show, it would
be something completely differ­ent.
Well, now I do, and I think I
have.
"The Simpsons are a family
struggling to be normal and fail­ing
miserably," he said. "There
is some of myself in the son
Bart, who revels in his abnor­mality,
but I hope that my judg­ment
is better than his."

Blues boys blow britches off country
Leigh Raines
Staff Writer
People often relate all country music
singers to those who get on stage and
perform while intoxicated.
They aren't preaching, but musicians
Billy Earl McClelland and Rock Kil-lough
have been down that road and
believe that sobriety has given them a
new zest for life, McClelland said.
They classify their music as country-blues
rock. They are easy-going, honest
men whose music is a reflection of their
personalities, McClelland said.
McClelland and Killough both learned
to play guitar at the early age of seven,
with musicians like John Lennon and
Chet Atkins as idols. They taught
themselves just by listening to the radio
and "fiddlin' around" with their guitars.
"Billy's skin should be blue; he was
born with the blues in him," Killough
said.
The pair began singing in the '70s
with a band called Rock Killough and
the McKynte Brothers. They didn't real­ize
they were forming a friendship that
would last a lifetime.
^When the group separated, McClel-lJhd
and Killough' said they took their
songs and dreams to Nashville and con­tinued
writing music.
Their music has been performed by
Sawyer Brown, the Oak Ridge Boys and
Brenda Lee. That was fine as outside
income, Killough said, but performing
was much more fun.
"We enjoy writing the music, but it's
not as fun as playing in front of your old
friends and making new friends," Kil­lough
said.
They toured with artists such as
Willie Nelson, but were never able to get
a recording contract. In 1983 they
were forced to put their guitars away
when Killough returned home to take
care of his parents. This provided a rea­son
for the twosome to give up, he said.
"When Rock's parents became ill and
we quit playing, we thought we we're
through, all washed-up," McClelland
said.
They both stopped playing and went
to work. Killough eventually became a
member of a blues band in Opelika now
called Pocket Rocket. He stayed for
three years, he said.
A few years ago, Killough returned to
