University refuses to release Smith report
Matt Smith
News Editor
The University is standing by its
decision not to release a report on for­mer
Alumni Association Executive
Director Jerry Smith, although details
of the report have already appeared in
the press, University General Counsel
Thomas Samford said Tuesday.

Pharmacy
continues
to be shut
Melissa Denney
Staff Writer
The Drake Student Health
Center Pharmacy will remain
closed indefinitely because of a
lack of acceptable bids from pos­sible
contractors, University
Purchasing Director Ted Brown
said.
The pharmacy did not open as
expected on Oct. 1 because the
only bid submitted was unfavor­able,
he said.
"Glendean Drugs was the only
proposal submitted, and it was
not advantageous for the Uni­versity,
so we did not accept it,"
Brown said.
The pharmacy was closed
Aug. 10 after the University dis­missed
the operating contractor,
Donald Canaan, for inefficiency
and failure to meet contractual
standards.
Brown did not estimate a date
the pharmacy would reopen.
No plans have been made to
accommodate requests from stu­dents
in the interim, according
to Charles Bohmann, the
administrative director of Drake
Health Center.
'Students are going to local
pharmacies of their choice just
as they always have," Bohmann
said.
A meeting with University
officials and local pharmacists
was held Sept. 29, Brown said,
to discuss the reasons there
were so few bids, Brown said.
"We were concerned about our
relationship with the area phar­macists,
" he said.
The problem, according to
Brown is t h a t "there is not
enough business for private
enterprise to make a reasonable
profit."
The University advertised in
the Opelika-Auburn News and
mailed 10 solicitation letters to
local pharmacists, Brown said.
Alternatives were also dis­cussed
at the meeting, he said.
One alternative would be a con­sortium-
type agreement, in
which different local pharmacies
come in and render services on
different days, Brown said.
Another alternative would be
for the University to run the
pharmacy itself with the super­vision
of William H. Campbell,
dean of the School of Pharmacy.
University chapter of the Society of
Professional Journalists, filed suit
Sept. 8 in Lee County Circuit Court for
the release of the report.
The Birmingham News said last
week the report prepared by the
Atlanta law firm King and Spalding
accuses Smith of "acts of self-dealing"
in his position as co-executor of alumni
donor Lois Huffs estate.
SPJ president B. Bryan Bittle said
the organizations would continue
pressing the suit.
"That Auburn refuses to comply with
the (Alabama) open records law, even
in the face of Birmingham's publication
of King-Spalding, is not only a viola­tion
of First Amendment rights and a
hindrance to its own journalism
department, but also a waste of tax­payers'
money," Bittle said. "The Uni­versity
is clinging to its outdated and
destructive philosophy that freedom of
information is freedom from informa­tion."
The King-^Spalding report was pre­sented
to the board of trustees in
March and was discussed only in exec­utive
session.
Despite the Oct. 1 News article,
"Report says Auburn could discipline
Smith," Samford said Tuesday the
report is protected by client-attorney
privilege and will remain confidential.
The suit also demands that the Uni­versity
produce all notes and minutes
of the board of trustees referring to the
report, all correspondence between the
University and King and Spalding, and
all University financial records of the
report.
In court papers filed Sept. 29, the
University denied the report is a public
document and therefore protected from
disclosure.
The News report said Smith traveled
to Atlanta, at University expense, 16
times to work on the Huff estate, that
he arranged to have final call on estate
items sold at auction by submitting
bids $1 over the highest sealed bid and
that Smith's co-executor, Decatur, Ga.,
accountant Tom Tabor, was "overpaid"
for "services performed on behalf of the
estate."
Senate proposes delaying
exams for Alabama game
SGA fears distractions could hinder student studying
Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
The Student Senate passed a
resolution to the University
Senate Monday night asking
that the first day of final exams
be moved to Dec. 5 because of
the conflict with the Auburn-
Alabama football game.
The resolution is the result of
concern about the short amount
of time students will have to
study for the exams which begin
on Monday, as well as the large
number of distractions which
will be occurring that weekend,
said SGA Vice President Scott
Ayers.
"It would be hard for Auburn
to shine academically, as well as
being good hosts and hostess for
all the friends and family from
out of town, with the students
having to worry about studying
for exams," Ayers said.
"In addition, from what I
understand, there's a lot of
professors and department
heads that want their facilities
locked up for the whole
weekend. Students need those
facilities to better prepare for
their exams."
SGA President Scott
Turnquist echoed the concerns,
stressing that the resolution
was in no way placing athletics
over academics. The extra day
would give students a chance to
concentrate on their studies
after the families and friends
left Sunday night, he said.
Also, since graduation is
currently scheduled for Friday,
it might be more advantageous
for parents to come to
graduation on a Saturday,
saving the amount of time they
would have to take off from
work, he said.
In other business, Turnquist
appealed to the Senate members
for their help in supporting the
Auburn-Opelika Chambers of
Commerces' "Operation Hugo"
relief effort.
The program is collecting
monetary donations, non-perishable
food items, tools and
other essential household items
to send by truck to areas of
South Carolina hurt by
Hurricane Hugo, Turnquist
said. Operation Hugo pickup

Asbestos removal has set back
the reopening of the Haley Cen­ter
basement to Nov. 16, Assis­tant
Vice President for Facilities
Stan Drake said.
Preliminary drawings for the
new food service facility to be
constructed in that area are
awaiting approval from Presi­dent
James E. Martin, Drake
said.
Two crews were working on
the asbestos removal project in
Haley Center, but the Universi­ty
recently approved the desig­nation
of a third crew, he said.
Facilities, however, is unable to
find the manpower necessary to
work on this crew.
"Because asbestos is a time-consuming
process, many facili­ties
projects like the Haley Cen­ter
renovations have been
delayed," he said.
Though the study areas of the
basement will be opened next
month, work on the cafeteria
will not begin for about 60 days,
Drake said.
SGA President Scott Turn­quist
said he is concerned the
cafeteria will take away from
the effectiveness of the base­ment
as a study area, but Drake
said any distractions from the
construction, and noise from the
cafeteria itself upon completion,
will be minimal.
The decision to construct a
food facility in Haley Center
was the result of a three- to
four-year search for a site by Art
Call, director of food services,

"They're just so few officers to
spread around," Walton said.
However, he said he hopes to
shift manpower, beginning in
the winter and focus more
attention on Auburn's drug
problem. This shift would cause
other areas such as police
patrols to suffer, Walton said.
There are 26 full-time officers
on staff at the police depart­ment,

Among the confiscated items in the lobby of the AUPD
are these bongs, used to smoke marijuana and hashish.
Outside
The weekend weather
should be well suited for
going outdoors. Tomorrow will
be sunny with high's in the
mid 80s and no chance of rain.
Highs for the weekend should
be in the low 80s with
overnight lows in the 60s.
There is a slight chance of
rain Saturday.

FBI jails Opelika schoolteacher
An Opelika schoolteacher was arrested by t h e FBI Monday
afternoon.
Gabrieli Brian Davis, 36, was charged with one count of fraud
by mail, one count of fraud by wire, and one count of imperson­ating
a U.S. Army officer.
Opelika school officials refused to identify at which school
Davis teaches.
The charges resulted from a 1986 incident in which Davis
allegedly attempted to obtain funds from the United Services

Professor charged with murder
Police have charged a Samford University professor with the
stabbing death of one of his students.
William Lee Slagle, a debate coach, is wanted in connection
with the death of Eex Copeland, a member of t he debate team.
Copeland was found dead in his apartment on Sept. 22.
Witnesses saw the two men arguing shortly before the slay­ing,
police said. Investigators have not been able to locate Sla­gle.

Court to reexamine Miranda rights
The Supreme Court is expected to decide this term whether
undercover agents may obtain confessions from jailed suspects.
The issue is t he focus of an Illinois case involving Lloyd
Perkins, a prison inmate, who boasted of a murder he had com­mitted
to an undercover agent posing as an inmate.
This case will question the 1966 Miranda ruling, which
required police to warn suspects of their right to remain silent
and their right to an attorney.

Homosexuals given right to marry
Sunday, Denmark became the first nation to allow homosexu­als
to legally marry.
Under the new law, homosexual couples have nearly the same
rights as heterosexual couples but cannot adopt children. The
couples are allowed to share a last name.
At least one partner must live in Denmark and have Danish
citizenship, according to t h e law's provisions. Eleven male cou­ples
exchanged vows on Sunday.

Security officers are now able
to inspect any purses, contain­e
r s or sacks brought into t he
J o r d a n - H a r e S t a d i um on a
game day under the new alcohol
policy, a c c o r d i n g to Kermit
Perry, assistant athletic director
for operations.
If an i n d i v i d u a l refuses to
open his container, he can be
denied entrance to t h e Stadium,
Perry said.
"A g r e a t p e r c e n t a g e of t he
alcohol brought in on the game
day is in women's purses," Perry
said.
This inspection policy, effec­tive
at all gates, is designed to
decrease the number of alcohol-related
injuries and abuses that
have t a k e n place, he said.
Injuries can occur when contain­ers
are dropped off t h e Stadi­um's
upper level, Perry said.
"I'm j u s t as concerned about a
thermos j u g of hot chocolate as I
am about a thermos j u g of Jack
Daniels," he said.
Another reason for the new
policy was t h a t his office was
receiving excessive complaints
about alcohol r e l a t e d abuses
and harassments, he said.
"We've h a d a lot of f a n s'
enjoyment i n f r i n g e d upon,"
Perry said.
Under the new policy, anyone
found t a k i n g alcohol into the
Stadium will be asked to either
pour t h e alcohol out, t a k e it
back to their car or leave the
game, he said.
If t h e individual decides to
leave the game, his money will
not be refunded, Perry said.
The security officers are not
allowed to touch the purses or
containers, he said. "We're not
searching people," Perry said.
The officers can inspect other
items, such as a person's shoes,
if they suspect the individual is
hiding alcohol, Perry said.
New personnel have not been
h i r e d to s u p p l e m e n t this
i n c r e a s e in security. I n s t e a d,
some of t he security officers that
work traffic are moved inside
t h e S t a d i um once t h e game
s t a r t s , Perry said.
"We're trying to get a little bit
more for our money," he said.
Response to t h e policy h as
been mostly positive, but t he
department has received some
l e t t e r s from i n d i v i d u a l s who
support the policy but are angry
t h a t alcohol still gets into the
Stadium despite the inspection,
Perry said.
H a r r i e t t e Cronk, a season
t i c k e t holder from Mobile,
approves of the policy. "I think
the idea is excellent," she said.
While attending the Southern
Mississippi game on Sept. 16,
Cronk had to wait for guards to
inspect t h e diaper bag of t he
couple ahead of her. However,
her purse was not inspected,
Cronk said.
Some students are not as sup­portive.
"I don't feel they have
the right to search my property,"
Wendy Hannah, 04 RSS said.
Hannah's purse was inspected
when she attended the Pacific
game on Sept. 9.
This policy won't be able to
completely deter alcohol use in
the Stadium, she said. "If some­one
wants to get i t (alcohol) in,
they will," Hannah said. '.'
A copy of the policy was dis­tributed
by mail to the season
ticket holders and publicized in
local and s t a t e papers, Perry
said.

The long and winding road leads to..
Juleigh Sewell
\ssistant Features Editor
Beveral good friends, a car with a
full tank of gas, a road map,
some good tapes and an adven-urous
spirit — these are the basic
ngredients which, when combined cor-
•ectly, yield the solution to the ho-hum
veekend.
On a slow weekend like the past one,
tudents invariably ask themselves
md their friends, "What can we do this
veekend?" Taking a road trip is one
inswer which is popular on college
:ampuses.
"It (a road trip) allows you to get
iway from your everyday life. It lets
rou take advantage of being young,"
Brooks Wooten, 04 PO, said.
Last year before fall started, Wooten
ind his roommates, SGA president
Icott Turnquist and Tripp Haston, 04,
JHY/LEC, took a weekend road trip to
Toronto, Canada.
"We were sitting at Burger King
alking about where we could go," Has-on
said. "When we said 'Canada' it
vas like a magical word. Everyone's
yes lit up, and we said Yeah, let's go
o Canada.'"
This wasn't Wooten's first "big" road
rip. Two years ago he and some
riends went on a 19-hour trip to
sTuevo Laredo, Mexico, for the day, he
aid.
We basically went because of bore-lom.
We were waiting for classes to
tart, and we had to do something,"
iVooten said. "We were looking for
something big. We wanted to top the
Mexico trip."
"It was the econo-Canada trip/' Has­ton
said. "It cost us between $80 and
$100."
On the way to Toronto, Wooten said,
he and his companions stopped at Nia-gra
Falls, Lake Erie and Slippery Rock
University.
The 20-hour drive led the students
into several outrageous situations,
including a Canadian man who offered
them use of his home and his wife,
Wooten said.

It (a road trip) allows you
to get away from your
everyday life. It lets you
take advantage of being
young.
- Brooks Wooten
"He reminded me of Curly from the
Three Stooges," Haston said.
They declined his offer, however, and
got a room at a truck stop/motel,
Wooten said.
"We took only the essentials,"
Wooten said, "a loaf of bread, a pack­age
of bologna and a case of beer."
On a long road trip, rules are bound
to emerge. Wooten said they agreed to
split any speeding tickets acquired on
the trip.
"The guy in the back could sleep. The
guy riding shotgun had to stay awake
to keep the driver company, and the
driver couldn't drink," Wooten said.
"The whole way up there, we kept
looking at each other saying 'Can you
believe we're going to Canada.'"
The feeling of disbelief is one which
Ford Stokes, 04 MK, knows well. Last
month during sorority rush, he and
two friends drove to Atlantic City, N.J.
Stokes said.
Pure chance led them to their
destination. They decided on Atlantic
City by flipping a penny on an atlas,
Stokes said.
"It landed on Atlantic City," Stokes
said, "and we were gone about 10 min­utes
later."
Fishing poles, tackle, pillows and
blankets were the "essentials" for the
Atlantic City trip.
On the trip up, they cut expenses by
visiting friends at other colleges. The
last night they got a hotel room, Stokes
said.
"It was 'Roach City,' but it was a
bed," he said.
"We almost had serious money prob­lems
in Atlantic City," Stokes said.
At Trump Plaza, the students lost
$300, Stokes said. "We came so close to
having only $6 to our names," he said,
"but we.won it back."
However, they only broke even by
the end of the gambling spree.
Although they took turns at the wheel,
Stokes said, they all nodded off while
driving. "It was really dangerous."
Overall, they visited about nine
states, Stokes said.
All of our road-trippers agreed that
the best aspect of their trip was having
no deadline.
"We made it a point to stop every
time we wanted to," Wooten said. "We
weren't in a hurry."
Students list 10 favorite road trips
1. "The best time I ever had road
tripping was going to Florida before
fall quarter started. We left early
one morning, ran out of gas, hitch­hiked
and rode in the back of a tire
truck to a gas station." - Jennifer
Huddleston, 04 MH.
2. "I like to go fly fishing on the
Tennessee River in Chattanooga." -
Woody Hamilton, 03 PB.
3. "Tuscaloosa is my favorite place
to visit because I date someone
there." - Allison Marshall, 03 MK
4. 'Whenever I have time, I go to
my parents condo in Colorado. It's
great when I need a break." — Carol
Carpenter, 04 MK.
5. "Last year I went to the Florida
State/Miami game when they were
playing for No. 1. It was the great­est."
- Darrin Austin, 04 BSC.
6. "Whichever way the wind blows,
that's the way you go. We ended up
in Mississippi." - Kelly Sailors, 02
CSM.
7. "I go to New Orleans, because I
love the different culture; Mardi
Gras, the Jazz Festival and hopeful­ly
the Sugar Bowl for the third year
in a row." - Allison Norcross, 04
GEC.
8. "It's fun going to Athens (Ga.) to
visit friends. They always have good
parties." - Bridget Bradford, 02
GSC.
9. "My most unusual trip was to the
Talladega 500 this summer. Nothing
could prepare me for what I saw." —
Michael Hays, 02 PB.
10. "I loved going to Howey-In-The-
Hills, Fla., for a fraternity brother's
wedding, especially when his dad
paid for everything - food, room, golf
and any other expenses that came
along." - M a r k Murphy, 04 EE.

"lack of management," Collier said,
and he closed Homer's this year
because he said the owner was delin­quent
in paying his rent.
When the rent was paid, a new lease
was signed and Homer's was then
renamed Drew's. However, Drew's
never opened this summer because the
owner failed to pay his rent again, Col­lier
said.
Drew's became McStu's in Septem­ber
1989, under new ownership. The
lounge, McStu's Too, is now open, and
the restaurant is scheduled to open in
a couple of weeks.
The management is extremely opti­mistic
since the lounge is doing so well.
Master's grille restaurant is now
owned and operated by two Auburn
graduates, Reed Compton and George
Tehan. This location has been occupied
by three different restaurants in the
last two years.
From December 1983 until May
1988, the restaurant was Po Folks.
In the case of Po Folks', a national
restaurant chain, the decision was
made to close several franchises for
unspecified reasons, Compton said.
The same person that owned Po
Folks then opened Neptune's Table in
the same building in July 1988.
When Neptune's Table opened, "The
prices went up, and the owner didn't
get involved. He hired three man­agers,"
Compton said. "He had to be
paying $60,000 or $70,000 in salaries,
and you can't do that starting a new
business.
."I feel like if we put out a good pi&d-uct
and price, well get the people."

McStu's is one local restaurant which has had several changes in
name and ownership in the past few years.
or most college students, having
spending money is as essential
as food, shelter and football
games on Saturday.
For students whose parents aren't
Donald and Ivana Trump, obtaining
that extra cash can sometimes be diffi­cult.
Many Auburn students have discov­ered
that imagination and some good
old American ingenuity can go a long
way.
Becky Grisham, 03 IB/MT, for exam­ple
has sold her blood plasma for $12
several times.
"It doesn't really hurt, and besides,
I'll try anything," she said.
Lynn Cashman, 04 LHY, needed
money for a trip to Athens, Ga., and
said she sold her books halfway
through the quarter. Sound familiar to
anyone?
Some have had to go above and
beyond normal means in the pursuit of
money. Courtney Baggett, 04 LHY, has
a work-study job with the biology
department. Once, Baggett said she
had to put her hand in a five-gallon
bucket of sheep eyeballs and prep them
for a lab.

Dumping angers fraternities
Delta Chi, Beta Theta Pi complain about smell, garbage near their houses
Matt Smith
News Editor
The University has not
responded to complaints from
Delta Chi fraternity about an
unauthorized dump site behind
their house, chapter Secretary
Scott Cotter said Sunday.
The fraternity made its first
complaints winter about the
site, located next to the house
on an unpaved drive across from
the Intramural Field, Cotter
said.
"I don't know what they're
dumping there. It smells like
sewage. For about three or four
days you couldn't really go out­side,"
he said.
The site runs along a 100-foot
drive in a vacant grassy area
adjacent to the Delta Chi prop­erty
line. The terrain is mostly
sand and mud piled with grass
cuttings, construction scraps
and tires and dotted by several
pools of stagnant water and
occasional oil slicks.
Facilities Division Adminis­trative
Director Kirk Tyree said
Tuesday he was unaware of any
waste disposal in that area and
that any such site would be
unauthorized.

For about three or
four days, you
couldn't go outside.
- Frank Ruble
Tyree said, however, that the
debris may not have been left by
the University.
"Just because it is on Univer­sity
property doesn't mean the
University was dumping there,"

Delta Chi Vice President Dave
Rossman said he had com­plained
to the University's facil­ities
division before last May's
A-Day game, but got no
response.
"The smell really made you
want to throw up," Cotter said.
"Monday through Wednesday, it
was unbearable. The worst of
the smell was during rush.
"Our next-door neighbors, the
Betas, have also had problems
with it. There's just raw sewage
running in the ditch where our
driveway is.
"We've tried to clean it out,
but there's no place for t he
water to drain to. It's all backed
up in that area, and it flows
back into the yard," Cotter said.
Delta Chi President Frank
Ruble said, "For about three or
four days, you couldn't go out­side.
You'd get nauseous going
to class. From the smell, the
Beta Theta Pi's must have got­ten
a good whiff of it."

president, said the biggest prob­lem
his fraternity has is t he
runoff from the ditch that runs
between the houses and the
Intramural Field. He said he
contacted Hughes and Facilities
several times throughout the
summer, but the University told
him the ditch was the fraterni­ty's
responsibility.
"But that ditch is huge, and
the runoff all comes from the
dump," he said.
Delta Chi brother Lee
Edmonds, 02 PAE, said he
called the Lee County Health
Department last week, but to
his knowledge no one came to
examine the dump.
Cotter said the fraternity first
tried to get the University to
clear the dump as far back as
winter.
"We own a little bit of the
property behind our fence, and
we wanted to try to move it (the
dump) back and claim that
property for our backyard," he
said. "We called the University
and asked them to try to clear
out that lot.
"They finally sent someone
out there during the spring, and
they just came out there with a
bulldozer for three or four hours
in the afternoon, and it didn't do
anything."

October 5,1989 The Auburn Plainsman A-5
tudent football tickets sell out in 3-day rush
Pam Radtke
Staff Writer
Wednesday afternoon, for the
first time in history, the athletic
department sold out of the
14,500 tickets set aside for stu­dents.
"Last year I didn't even think
they sold out. That's why I did­n't
pre-order," Chris Thiel, 04
AMN, said.
Thiel is one student who did
not get to the Coliseum on time
to buy his tickets.
"When I went on Monday
there were such huge lines, it
was raining and I couldn't stand
in line two hours and skip class­es,"
he said.
Marty McGinty, assistant
ticket manager, said the stu­dents
should have known that
this year was going to be differ­ent.
"Upperclassmen went based
on their past experience,"
McGinty said. "They used to be
able to wait until the last day to
go and pick up their tickets.
"They should have been look­ing
to the -future. The Auburn-
Alabama game is big. Everyone
wants to be a part of it."
He has received most of his
complaints from students who
said they are guaranteed a tick­et
for the football games, he
said.
"We've always been guaran­teed
a ticket, especially if you're
a senior," Elyse Williams, 04
AC, said.
"They're not guaranteed any­thing
but a chance to pre-order
in the spring," McGinty said.
"If 17,000 students pre-order
in the spring, we can accommo­date
all of them. But if only
some of the students pre-order
we have to go on past experi­ence.
"We have to make some type
of decision on what to sell to the
general public after the stu­dents
pre-order," McGinty said.
"There is no guarantee that the
students would buy the tickets
Speech department renamed
Emily Riggins
Assistant News Editor
The board of trustees
approved a resolution on Sept.
15 to change the name of the
Speech Communications
Department to the Department
of Communications.
"I think the new name is a
better designator of all of the
different things we do," Don
Richardson, head of the commu­nications
department said.
The communications depart­ment
includes majors in public
relations, mass communications
and general speech communica­tions.
There are about 500 stu­dents
in the department, he
said.
"When people think of speech
communications, they think of
public speaking," he said. "We
now have radio, television and
film."
The curriculum in the depart­ment
have also changed, he
said.
"We now require all PR
majors to have a marketing
minor, in addition to a journal­ism
minor.
Additional writing classes
have been added to the curricu­lum,
Richardson said.
Students are choosing to
major in communications
because there is a large number
of jobs available in the field, he
said.
A survey taken last spring
said almost 95 percent of public
relations graduates were
employed, he said.

we held over."
Last year only 11,755 tickets
were bought by the students
and the most tickets ever sold to
the students was 12,500.
"We normally hold 14,500
tickets for the students. Our
pre-order sales didn't tell us
that we would sell more than
that," McGinty said.
Only 6,500 students pre-ordered
this spring and an addi­tional
2,500 incoming freshmen
pre-ordered during freshmen
orientation, he said.
Giving incoming freshmen the
chance to pre-order added fury
to some of those who weren't
able to get tickets this year.
"It kind of ticked me off," Josh
Tucker, 02 SCR, said.
"I had the chance to pre-order,
but like a typical college stu­dent,
I didn't have the money,"
Tucker said. "Freshmen had the
chance to pre-order during ori­entation,
and their Mom and
Dad paid for the tickets."
The seniority priority was
done away with this year,
according to McGinty.
"With the new I.D.s it is hard­er
to tell what year someone is
on sight. It would have slowed
lines even more," he said. "If we
felt that we were going to sell
out, we would have broken it
down by classes.
"We have to give 10,900 tick­ets
to the opposing team. We
keep 14,500 tickets for the stu­dents
and 45,000 tickets go to
contributors. That leaves us a
14,000 ticket leeway for the stu­dents.
"If we had 100 percent partici­pation
from the students, we
would use those tickets for
them. But we never have and I
doubt we ever will.
"If I had any advice for the
students for next year it would
be pre-order. It would make it
easier on everyone."

Auburn bunnies discuss
their Playboy experience
Kitty Brown
Staff Writer
Two of the three Auburn stu­dents
who appeared in Playboy
magazine's "Girls of the South­eastern
Conference" October
issue said they enjoyed the
experience but wouldn't want to
make a career out of modeling.
"I thought it (posing) would be
a good experience, a different
experience that not everybody
gets to do," Amy Eckman, 03
FM, said.
Erica Duh, 02 PRS, said her
friends helped talk her into pos­ing
in the magazine, because
she was also going to participate
in Miss AU Tan.
The girls had a choice of pos­ing
clothed, partially clothed or
nude. They checked which one
they preferred on their applica­tion
when they tried out last
spring.
Eckman posed topless, wear­ing
ripped jeans, sitting beside a
motorcycle.
In her initial interview, David
Chan, the Playboy photogra­pher,
had took a Polaroid shot of
her face and a full shot of her in
a bikini.
Then, Eckman went through
another photo shoot about four
weeks later so Playboy could
pick the Auburn girl who would
be the partially clothed repre­sentative,
she said.
"It was nerve-wracking," Eck­man
said. "You had to put your­self
out on a limb without know­ing
whether it was going to be
worth it or not."
Duh, a native of Chicago,
posed standing on top of a truck
by Samford Hall. As Auburn's
clothed representative, she wore
a cropped top and green biker
shorts.
"Chan tried to get a lot of pic­tures
of my legs because he
liked them," Duh said, "because
he said they were long.
"I figured modeling was easy
work, but it was kind of tough,
because I was laying on rocks,
and I was hanging over the roof
of the Conference Center practi­cally.
And I'm terrified of
heights."
Her shoot took eight hours
and 15 rolls of film, but Duh
said she did have fun.
Working with Chan was enjo­yable
because he was sponta­neous,
and he made her feel
comfortable during the shoot,
she said. In fact, the two

Auburn football players who
appear in the picture standing
below Duh, Dunican Casselber-ry
and Henry Love, happened to
be walking by when Chan called
them over and asked them to be
in the picture, she said.
"I bet they're freaking out
right now about being in the
magazine," said Duh, who had
no idea which picture would be
selected for the magazine.
Unlike Duh, Eckman does not
feel her picture reflected her
personality.
"I would much rather have
liked to have had a classier pic­ture,"
Eckman said, "but I fig­ured
that's their business, and
they would know what looks
best, so I didn't question a
thing."
Posing topless made Eckman
nervous, but she said Chan
made it easier for her by taking
pictures of her wearing a
leather jacket at first, and then
she gradually took it off.
Eckman wants to be a fashion
designer, and she said she feels
that the experience may help
her get a start in her career.
Duh said she wants to be an
airline stewardess for a few
years after she graduates.
"I really don't think it {Play­boy)
portrays women as sex
objects. I don't think it portrays
them badly at all," Duh said.

SGA promoting
Hugo relief plan
Steve Henderson
Staff Writer
The SGA is encouraging stu­dents
to contribute to a relief
effort for victims of Hurricane
Hugo which was started by the
Auburn and Opelika Cham­bers
of Commerce, President
Scott Turnquist announced
Sunday night.
"Basically we need food,
money and workers," Turn­quist
said at the meeting.
"We're trying to line up stu­dents
to help load trucks.
"Several businesses are
donating tractor-trailers to
help get the supplies to South
Carolina."
Monetary donations will also
be welcomed, Turnquist said.
"One of the things the Red
Cross was looking at is costs -
$25 to $40 million for the ser­vices
they are providing. One
of the things they really need
now is money," he said.
Trucks were scheduled to
leave Wednesday for South
Carolina from the Auburn
Chamber of Commerce and the
Village Mall, Turnquist said.
Volunteers continue to col­lect
money for the costs of
repairing the estimated $4 bil­lion
worth of damage the
storm caused from the
Caribbean to the Atlantic
coast.
The last truck will leave Fri­day
if the effort goes according
to plan, Turnquist said.
Baby goods, clothes, formula,
diapers, food, building materi­als,
tools, women's products,
paper goods, blankets and pet
food are among the desired
items listed by a bulletin dis­tributed
on campus.
Turnquist also said flash­light
batteries, can openers,
toothpaste, cleaning materials,
bottled drinking water, plastic
utensils, plates, ice chests and
towels are needed by victims.
"We don't need clothes,
except for small children," he
said.
"We have 20,000 students,
the bulk of the community. We
can really do a lot. If everyone
gave one can of food, that's
20,000 cans," he said.
Operation Hugo, the Ameri­can
Red Cross and the Salva­tion
Army are all accepting
donations at the collection
points.
The American Red Cross has
already spent $42 million
helping victims of the hurri­cane.
The local Red Cross chapter
is required to raise $6,397, but
had only raised $1,003 as of
Tuesday, Red Cross officials
said.
Material or money can be
donated to Operation Hugo at
the Auburn Chamber of Com­merce
or Village Mall.

Hurricane Hugo victims
received aid from nine Auburn
students representing the
Auburn chapter of Habitat for
Humanity and the Auburn
United Methodist Church's Wes­ley
Foundation last weekend.
Two students left Thursday to
prepare everything for the oth­ers
that were scheduled to leave
Friday afternoon. The seven
that left Friday took with them
food, roofing shingles, plumbing
supplies and lumber totaling
$300.
The hurricane hit the Caroli­na
coast Sept. 22, packing winds
of up to 140 mph and causing
damage estimated by the Amer­ican
Insurance Services Group
at $4 billion from the Caribbean
to Charleston, S.C.
The supplies were donated by
the group and other students,
Harry Edwards, 02 PB, said.
Wendy Oakley/staff
(L-R) John Reines, Darlene Reed, John Powell, Catherine
Nichol, Nisa Sommers, Buddy Mays and Harry Edwards,
front, prepare to leave for hurricane-stricken Charleston.
Dave Zelner, 04 GEC, said
that supplies are badly needed,
but manpower is needed even
more. What they thought would
be 10-hour work days turned
into 16-hour work days, he said.
"We were involved in a gener­al
clean-up effort," Zelner said.
They unloaded an 18-wheeler
full of food and clothes from the
Salvation Army in Miami,
cleaned mud out of houses and
repaired the roofs on houses, he
said.
"It really is as bad as they say
it is. If a house catches on fire, it
will just have to burn down,
because there is no water to put
it out," Zelner said. "People are
exhausted.
"Some of them have been
working 16-hour days helping
other people, and a lot of them
haven't had time to work on
their own houses."
The group concentrated its
effort in the Awendaw Commu­nity,
which is on the outskirts of
Charleston.
"Charleston is getting a lot of
assistance because it is so big,
but the little towns are getting
overlooked," said Zelner.
'Big Tuesday' hurt by primary
David Lackey
Staff Writer
The California state Assembly
has approved a bill t h a t , if
approved by the state Senate,
will move that state's presiden­tial
primary to the first Tuesday
in March and will make Califor­nia
the new focus for the 1992
Presidential Campaign.
California Gov. George Deuk-mejian
has already stated that
he will sign the bill if the Legis­lature
approves it. To date, the
bill has moved through two com­mittees
in the Senate and
appears to be heading for
general approval.
According to Margaret
Latimer, an associate political
science professor, this move will
provide California with a
tremendous opportunity for eco­nomic
advancement, as well as
media coverage.
This much attention on a
state heavy laden with dele­gates
could draw the focus away
from Super Tuesday, which
would follow the new California
primary by one week, Latimer
said.
"Exactly what the influence
this move will have on all other
primaries and caucuses remains
to be seen. We do know that
California will have much more
power and influence earlier in
the presidential campaign than
before," Latimer said.
The odds were in favor of the
bill's approval, since it is so
advantageous and has wide­spread
approval, she said.
The last presidential cam­paign
showed that Super Tues­day
has lost much of its influ­ence,
especially for the Demo­cratic
Party, Latimer said. To
now follow California on the
campaign trail will further
dilute the Southern influence,
she said.

Student firefighters discuss lack of benefits
Emily Riggins
Assistant News Editor
Student firefighters, who
work for minimum wage, are
not eligible for retirement bene­fits
or health insurance because
they are temporary employees,
but they will receive workman's
compensation if injured on the
job, Public Safety Director Clyde
Prather said.
"The health insurance was
never considered, because the
city is a self-insured group, and
we thought most students would
have family coverage," he said.
During training, firefighters
Basement

Drake said. Food services lost
one facility, the Mag Deli, when
Magnolia Hall was closed two
years ago.
"Haley Center was chosen by
the campus planning committee
about one year ago because it
appeared to be the most appro­priate
location with the greatest
accessibility," Drake said.
"Haley Center does represent a
center of student population."
The food service facility
should not have a great effect on
the space previously allotted for
the basement study area either,
Drake said.
"I think the students will
respond very favorably to the
facility," Drake said.
Preliminary floor plans of the
cafeteria and vending areas sug­gest
the facility will seat close to
100 people.

were told they would be able to
receive retirement benefits, but
the city later found that the stu­dents
were ineligible because
they are classified as temporary
employees, he said.
"That works to their benefit.
It (retirement) would be deduct­ed
from their check, and they
would have to apply to the state
and say they wanted their con­tribution
back (when they left
the department)," he said.
Career firefighters are eligible
for health insurance and the
State Retirement System.
Student firefighter Valister
Wilson, 02 PAR, said, "We
deserve more, but I'm not going
to complain because this is a
program for students. It's help­ing
me as much as I am helping
them."
The 11 student firefighters
received state certification Sept.
23, he said. The program includ­ed
a five-week training course
and a written test, he said.
The students work about 42
hours a week, he said.
Another student firefighter,
Jason Rudd, 03 PB, said, "They
told us we were going to get
benefits. But we don't get but
Elizabeth Lander
Staff Writer
The United States may lose
superpower status within two
years if the Philippines do not
renew leases on two military
bases there, political science
Professor Daniel Nelson said.
The United States recently
began negotiations aimed at
renewing the leases on Clark
Air Force Base and the Subic
Bay naval installation, which
expire in 1991.
"If we lose the bases, we lose
an intelligence-gathering func-one
benefit now, our check."
Rudd will continue working as
a firefighter while in school, he
said. "It's something I've always
wanted to do ever since I was a
little boy."
The students are paid an
hourly minimum wage.
"I understand you have to
start at the bottom," he said.
Auburn City Manager Doug
Watson said the students have
met the same qualifications that
the career firefighters have, and
the students could live at the
station without being charged.
"It's really a good deal for
tion and will be forced to accept
a diminished role in world
affairs," Nelson said.
"By maintaining its bases in
the Philippines, the United
States maintains its role as a
world power," he said. However,
he said some Filipinos feel the
bases are an infringement of
their national sovereignty.
Two thousand Filipinos gath­ered
Sept. 27 in the Philippines
to protest the American pres­ence.
However, the majority of
Filipinos favor the bases
because of the 70,000 jobs and
more than $96 million that is
them (the students)," he said.
"It beats flipping hamburgers."
Lt. Dean Garrett, who has
been a firefighter for 15 years,
said the city is hiring students
to avoid hiring full-time fire­fighters.
"If you hire full-time person­nel
and pay them, they'll do the
job," he said. "But with stu­dents,
there'll be a big
turnover."
The city is hiring students to
save money, he said.
The city has not hired a full
time firefighter in two years,
although more than 10 have left
the department, he said.
added annually to the economy
by the installations, Nelson
said.
Air Force ROTC Col. David
LeBlanc, who was stationed in
the Philippines in the 1970s,
said the bases' withdrawal
would cause problems for the
Philippine economy.
"All of those shop owners and
industry that are around Subic
Bay and Clark would fold up in
a heartbeat if the bases weren't
there," he said.
The first time the Filipinos
questioned the American pres-
But Watson said the full-time
firefighters that left were work­ing
with the emergency medical
service, not the fire department
and are now working at the
East Alabama Medical Center.
Some of the career firefighters
did not think the students
should be hired, he said.
"They feel threatened by this.
They don't need to feel threat­ened,"
Watson said.
The fire department averages
about one call a day, he said.
"With the small number of
calls we get," he said, "they (the
career firefighters) and the stu­dents
can handle it very easily."
ence was in 1979. The dispute
was resolved by an agreement
providing the Philippines with
$500 million in aid for five
years. Then in 1983, an addi­tional
$900 million in security
assistance extended the lease to
1991.
Nelson said, "They figure, let's
get as much money out of the
United States as we can.'
Although Philippine President
Corazon Aquino has not taken a
position on the base renewal
agreement, the chief negotiator
on this issue, Raul Manglapus,
has stated his opposition.
Gold Kist gives
funds to Auburn
John Yoder
Staff Writer
The University has received
a $50,000 gift from Gold Kist
aimed toward a financial sup­port
program for the College of
Agriculture, Dean of Agricul­ture
James E. Marion said
Monday.
Gold Kist, a diversified agri­cultural
cooperative based in
Atlanta, owes a great deal to
the state of Alabama and
Auburn, Don W. Sands, presi­dent
of the company, said.
Gold Kist, which is ranked
238 among the Fortune 500
list of top industrial corpora­tions,
generated approximately
18 percent of its $1.4 billion
sales in the fiscal year of 1988-
'89 in Alabama.
Forty-three percent of the
company's nearly 10,000
employees work in Alabama,
and 19 percent of its 40,000
cooperative members live in
the state, Sands said.
Gold Kist has divisions in
Boaz, Cullman, Guntersville
and Hanceville, and has begun
construction in Russellville.
"This initial check is just the
beginning of what should be a
much larger endowment that
we hope to secure in the years
to come," Marion said.
He said this money should
be useful in the continued
work of the college.
The money will go toward
student scholarships, faculty
development awards and other
major needs, with emphasis on
the college's departments of
poultry science, fisheries and
allied aquiculture, Marion
said.
"Auburn has strong fisheries
and allied aquiculture pro­grams.
This area holds a
strong interest for the compa­ny
(Gold Kist), which wants
more emphasis put in these
fields," he said.
The money will go toward
student scholarships, faculty
development awards and other
major needs, with emphasis on
the college's departments of
poultry science, fisheries and
allied aquiculture, Marion
said.

War for drugs
THE UNIVERSITY PHARMACY was expected to
open its doors again by the first week in October,
but the facility is now closed indefinitely.
Call us spoiled, but we want it back.
After the pharmacy was shut down because of contractu­al
"inefficiency," the University advertised and asked 10
local pharmacies to submit proposals to operate the facili­ty.
Of that number, only one local drugstore submitted a
bid, which was later rejected by the University.
With a large pharmacy school and 21,000 students, the
school should step in to maintain facility that could pro­vide
low-cost medicines for students.
If local pharmacies are not interested in running the
University pharmacy, putting it in the University's hands
is not only an option that should be discussed as a logical
solution, but also a probable necessity to reopening the
pharmacy.
Cafe Haley
WHILE NEW BUILDINGS spring up all over
campus, Haley Center watches and weeps.
The wear and tear is showing in the 22-year-old
tower, yet from head to toe the times they are a-changin'.
Haley Center is finally getting some desperately needed
renovations and the removal of asbestos has become the
primary concern for folks at the facilities division.
One of the areas targeted for the asbestos removal is the
basement of the building, once designated as a study/vend­ing
area for students. Once it has been cleaned up and
reopened, construction will begin on a new food services
facility.
With the increased traffic in other cafeterias because the
loss of Magnolia Hall's facility and increased enrollment, it
is understandable that a new facility was necessary. But
why Haley Center? And who made the decision anyway?
Officials say Haley Center was chosen by the campus
planning committee last year because it represents "a cen­ter
of student population."
That's S-T-U-D-E-N-T population. But why weren't the
students consulted when the decision was made to declare
the basement Cafe Haley?
Years ago when the SGA fought to get the basement of
Haley Center designated as a study area, it was a true vic­tory.
The students have limited study areas as it is, so the
addition was more than appreciated.
We can live with and may even enjoy the new facility, yet
the students who fought to make the basement what it
was - a study area - should have been consulted before
the decision was made.
Maybe the times aren't a-changin' after all.
'Good news../
GOOD NEWS ABOUNDS this week.
More than 500 students signed up for SGA com­mittees
during Tuesday's volunteer day. Normally
low turnouts are blamed on student apathy, but with the
number of students that expressed interest in working for
the student government association, perhaps more stu­dents
will get active on campus.
USED TO BE that if you went to the Village Kitchen,
you could only get Pepsi. Students clamored, and con­sumers
can now see Coke on the shelves with an option to
buy. Yeah.
NO SPOTS HERE. Following the vaccination of nearly
16,000 students last spring, Auburn seems to be measles-free.
Since the shot craze here, however, cases have
popped up all over the state.
We remember paying our dues last spring with more
than 25 cases of measles in Lee County and hope triose
afflicted may be rid of them soon.
Racism alive, well in Auburn
I don't feel right about writing
this column.
I use to think that my gut
feelings about my column topics
was an indication that I didn't
truly believe strongly enough in
the words I put into print.
Now I believe it stems from
knowing a mug of me smiling
accompanies the words I write.
Not at all indicative of the way I
feel.
When I created Campus View­point
for The Plainsman, it was
with the interests of an open
exchange in mind. Here was
something that gave students,
faculty and members of the com­munity
a chance to voice their
views by responding to a cam­pus
problem.
Responses could be as light or
harsh as the writer wished. No
judgment on my side. Just a
stage for debate amongst any­one
who cared enough. At worst
I would have to cut responses
for space or delete an expletive
for taste.
t'\' •
Paige
Oliver
Editor
But I didn't anticipate the
worst. Not for my mindset any­way.
The first response we got was
hand-delivered the day the
paper came out. Impressive, I
thought. Someone felt strongly
enough about campus crowding
to make sure his voice would be
heard. No procrastinating until
Monday's 5 p.m. deadline; this
guy didn't want to be left out.
I opened the campus mail
envelope to find a neatly cut
Campus Viewpoint response. It
was signed by an Auburn gradu­ate,
one now employed by the
University.
His advice to the administra­tion
was simple:
"Send all third-world students
and faculty members home to
their native countries (where
they can use their AU-acquired
expertise to improve their own
societies), and don't admit any
more third worlders in t he
future."
Incredibly simple. Primitive,
even.
I t wasn't his words that
shocked me so much. It wasn't
even that I believed he meant
the words he put above his
name. I know racism is alive
and well in Auburn, and I'm
sickened to say I've almost
stopped flinching from it.
What was shocking was that a
man on staff in a University
department would spit on the
institution's attempt to diversify
and strengthen Auburn by
enrolling and hiring third-world
individuals.
I found out upon writing this
that the writer has a history of
presenting these lands of opin­ions.
Momentarily, I fantasized
that his was a one-of-a-kind
viewpoint, one I would never
come across again. Having
grown up in Miami and Atlanta,
I ought to know better than to
be so naive.
Yes, I remember, this is
Alabama. Land of the free.
Home of the white supreme
race. Members of any other ori­gin
could never be productive in
such an elite society, one that
closed-mindedly rejects human
beings that aren't of its kind.
But enough of that.
Maybe I've fed his need to be
heard with this column. It may
have been best to ignore it. But
editing one's exercise in free
speech isn't what I would con­sider
professional or "right,"
either. And that's something I
feel just as strongly about.
No, I don't feel right.
And I hope I never do.
Humor me, wash your face
A few weeks ago when I came
to The Plainsman office at 11
p.m., B. Bryan Bittle said to me,
'You know, Jennifer, you don't
look nearly as bad without
makeup as most girls do."
I felt neither complimented
nor hurt, as I believe B. Bryan's
observation has a logical expla­nation:
comparison. I don't look
bad without makeup, because I
never wear a large quantity, so
with or without it, I look essen­tially
the same. People who
wear gobs of the stuff don't look
bad without it either, but they
look terrible compared to the
way they look with it on.
I can extend this logic to men.
Men don't seem to look bad
without makeup because most
of them never wear it, so we
don't have a new-and-improved
version for comparison.
Women, realize that men
could be as vastly improved as
we are with some face paint.
Look at the nearest male: pro­fessor,
student, boyfriend, who­ever.
He's ugly. His pimples are
showing. His nose is noticeably
redder than his cheeks. His eye­brows
need plucking.
I don't mean by this revela­tion
to persuade you that men
should start wearing makeup. I
simply think women should
stop.
I learned in sociology that in a
Jennifer
Stimson
Technical Editor
study of women and men in the
same jobs, women were 11 per­cent
more productive than their
male counterparts. Men lost
production equality by convers­ing
with their buddies about
sports.
Fellow females, think of the
additional percentage points we
can gain on the guys by not wor­rying
about and fixing fading
lipstick, running mascara and
disappearing powder.
A friend of mine makes make­up
her life. The redhead uses
enough liquid base on her com­plexion
to hide all traces of her
many freckles. For birthdays
and Christmas, she asks for and
receives variety kits containing
50 different eyeshadow colors.
She enjoys wearing all 50
shades at once.
I'm an average case, I sup­pose.
I spend about 30 minutes
per morning, one forty-eighth of
my day, applying various sub­stances
to my visage. Base and
powder cover those occasional
blemishes. Mascara converts my
blond eyelashes to visible ones.
Eyeshadow makes my eyes
appear different interesting col­ors.
Blush keeps me from look­ing
too monotone.
Cosmetics seem less neces­sary,
however, the more I know
about their compositions. I
learned in geology - these gen­eral
curriculum courses are so
handy - that powder blush is
composed mostly of talc (No. 1
on the mineral hardness scale),
the frosted look comes from
mica (the tiny shiny flakes also
used in metallic car paint) and
the red color is created with the
mineral hematite (rust). Makes
me want to wash my face.
Makeup isn't good for us, it's a
lot of trouble, and the applica­tion
of it takes up time we could
better spend showing men up,
so why bother any longer?
Women, we must band together
and throw off our liquid, cream
and powder bonds. But I'm not
doing it unless the rest of you
do, too. I don't want to look bad
in comparison.

Writer pays tribute to Navy
I've been waiting a long time
to write this column. I've been
waiting because I want the max­imum
number of students possi­ble
to read this column. This col­umn
is a tribute: a tribute to
the men and women of the
armed services, and in particu­lar,
the Navy.
I ieft active duty in September
1988 after serving two years
aboard USS Nimitz(CVN-68).
During those two years I gained
an appreciation for the military
that I will never forget.
All service members make
sacrifices. The Army and the
Marines have to make some of
the most intense short term sac­rifices
by living in the field dur­ing
certain exercises.
The Navy however, must
make the most continual sacri­fices
year after year, giving up
almost all contact with family
and the real world. I realize that
no writer can make you realize
what it's like to spend six
months at sea, but I will try.
Imagine first of all, that your
bed room, that space which you
call your own, has suddenly
been whisked away and
replaced by a rack(bed) that is
three feet high, four feet wide
and six-and-one-half feet long.
These racks are three high with
Wade
Williams
Assistant
News Editor
usually six total on each side of
a four-foot aisle. The entire liv­ing
compartment or berthing is
usually home to about 30 or 40
people with one television in a
12-foot by 12-foot lounge.
I don't think that is quite a
dark enough picture yet. Realize
that the terms "lounge" and
"bed" are to be taken very loose­ly.
All of the floors are covered
with tile. All of the walls are
steel. People are constantly
making noise, fighting, etc., and
privacy is but a dream.
Our working hours were from
7 a.m. to 8 p.m. After that one
had to get up in the middle of
the night to stand a four-hour
watch, such as lookout, helms­man,
etc. More than four hours
of sleep a night was a luxury.
We had an hour for lunch and
dinner each day. Most of that
hour however, is spent standing
in the "chow line." The food was,
at best, school lunchroom quali­ty;
at worst, inedible. Contrary
to popular rumor, aircraft carri­ers
do not have McDonald's or
bowling alleys on them.
A weekend is a figment of
imagination on board ship. At
sea we worked 18-20 hours a
day every day of the week.
"But," you say, "you guys did
pull into exotic foreign ports,
didn't you?" Yes we did, but my
particular division was respon­sible
for running the liberty
boats which took people in and
out from the shore, so our work
didn't start until we pulled into
port.
For those females who are
married or have boyfriends,
imagine going down to the pier,
kissing your loved one, and say­ing
"Bye honey, I'll see you in
just six months." Now imagine
doing that approximately once
each year.
Mail in the Navy does not
function extremely efficiently. In
fact it does not even come close
to efficiency. Depending on
where your ship is, letters can
take in excess of three or four
weeks to be delivered.
For you males out there,
imagine going six months on a
ship full of 6,000 guys without a
woman in sight. Upon pulling
into port, things don't improve
much either. The type of women
in a foreign port that come down
to meet the American ships are
not exactly the type you'd want
to take home to mother.
The Navy is also a dangerous
place. During my one six-month
deployment, eight people died,
one had his leg cut off just below
the knee and one fell the equiv­alent
of three stories onto a
steel deck. He was still in inten­sive
care when I left. Almost
every day we participated in
evolutions that were life-threat­ening.
I don't want it to sound like
I'm complaining. I'm not. I
enjoyed my two years in the
Navy and wouldn't trade the
experience for anything. I saw
more in six months than most of
my friends will ever see.
The point I'm trying to make
is that there are people who are
still there. People who are get­ting
paid low wages, putting
their lives in danger so that you
don't have to. Give them the
respect they deserve; help them
when you can. If you see a ser­vice
member in the airport, offer
them a ride. Give them some
benefits in return for the sacri­fices
they make.

Football talk show a mistake
Editor, The Plainsman:
Contrary to popular opinion,
football is neither a proselytiz­ing
religion, nor an imagina­tive
art form, nor even a com­pelling
human activity. It is
merely a sport, a recreation,
nothing more.
Why this campus and thou­sands
of its spastic students
are obsessed with a game that
is the athletic equivalent of
checkers is quite beyond me.
Not that I hold any particular
malice against football or
sports or games in general. It
is simply this compulsive
desire to spend every conscious
moment discussing the triviali­ties
of football I find so repul­sive.
The ultimate example of this
inane drive, which obviously
stems from boredom and an
inability to occupy oneself with
fulfilling endeavors, is the new
WEGL talk show on Saturday
afternoons. At a time when
every TV network and AM sta­tion
in the country is jammed
with live football, football
highlights, football analyses,
football gossip, football replays
and other bits of insignificant
football facts, WEGL gives its
loyal listeners a football talk
show. This show has two dev­astating
weaknesses:
1) If perchance someone
cared to hear the latest foot­ball
information he/she could
easily find, on TV or radio, the
faces or voices of famous for­mer
coaches, players and jour­nalists
who've spent decades
studying the game and know it
far better than the handful of
students who neither have the
knowledge of the experts nor
access to their up-to-the-minute
data. (No offense to the
show's hardworking hosts.)
2) The reason I, and many
other loyal WEGL listeners,
turn to the campus station on
Saturday afternoons is to
escape the mania and mindless
noise that is to be found every­where
else in the broadcast
media.
I hope that the powers that
be at WEGL realize their mis­take
and return WEGL to its
regular Saturday program­ming.

Being hero no big deal
"I'd never join any club that
would have me as a member."
- Groucho Marx
One of those strange incidents
that usually only happens in the
movies happened to me one
night last week. A friend and I
were on our way to a local
eatery, and j u s t as we were
boarding my battered '77 Ply­mouth
a young woman rushed
into my yard gasping that some­one
was following her.
We let her in to use the tele­phone,
but she got no answer on
the other end of the line. Since
we were on our way out, we
offered her a lift.
Whoever had been following
her was long gone as we turned
down Ross Street in the luke­warm
September drizzle. She
was afraid, alone and may not
have known where she was.
"Y'all may have saved my
life," she said at one point. She
may not have been in that
rough a spot, but she was near
panic and the situation was not
exactly comforting.
We left her at her apartment
without knowing her name. She
thanked us and disappeared
into shadows of the complex.
Did anyone scratch their
heads and ask, "Who was that
masked man?" I doubt it. But I
guess that makes Graham and
me heroes. After the initial ego
puff faded, I found myself think­ing,
"So what?"
We didn't have to put on
funny suits and go around look­ing
like transvestites, shoot
Commies or swing out of the rig­ging
like Errol Flynn. All we did
was say, "Get in the car."
We drove a block or two out of
our way to get this girl home.
The rest of the evening contin­ued
as it had begun: subdued,
even dull. So what?
When she found us, she was
less than a block from the police
station. She could have made it
in another two or three minutes
of walking. Big deal.
The entire detour took five
minutes, tops. Whoopee.
So we're heroes - does that
mean that our standards are too
low? If it's that easy, why do
most people look the other way
when something like this hap­pens?
"Don't get involved,
Frank, she could be on drugs or
something. Besides, it can't hap­pen
in my neighborhood..." Well,
it did in mine.
We go on every day, being
herded through our classes and
our jobs, filling out our numbers
where our names should be and
telling ourselves we don't have
time to worry about this or that.
I need to finish this report by
5:30. I know. I do it all the time
and will probably still do so.
Meanwhile, there will always
be people out there who reach
for an outstretched hand and
get a middle finger. We see it all
the time in the papers and on
television, where brutality, igno­rance
and greed are enshrined.
You can't see a nipple on CBS,
but it's no big deal to see some­one's
head get blown off.
No wonder it's so damned
easy to be a hero. Today, any­body
who stops to act about any­thing
besides covering their own
bazoo qualifies.

Glance back
20 years ago, 1969: A three-month investigation by state narcotics agents resulted in the arrest
of four Auburn students and four others charged with possession and selling marijuana, LSD and
STP.
25 years ago, 1964: War Eagle HI, Auburn's mascot, was found dead of gunshot wounds near
Gardendale in Birmingham. The bird, kept in a back yard of a home in Birmingham before the
Auburn-Tennessee game played there, escaped "unintentionally," according to his trainer, Ellwyn
Hamer.
30 years ago, 1959: Results of a poll published this week showed 70 percent of parents surveyed
in Alabama said they expected their children to attend college, but most said they were not finan­cially
prepared to handle the cost of higher education. An estimated 69 percent of parents polled
nationally said they expected their children to enroll in a college or university.
Quote of the week
"Just because it's on University property doesn't mean the University is dumping there." - Kirk
Tyree, director of maintenance services at the Facilities Division, commenting on charges by Delta
Chi fraternity members that the Facilities Division is using the area adjacent to Delta Chi's proper­ty
for a "dump site."

Deadlipe: Monday, 5 p.m.
Question: What steps should the Univer­sity
take to alleviate campus crowding
and to prevent overcrowding in the
future?
"The University needs to raise the number of
facilities and faculty to a ratio more in line
with the number of students."
Erin Papin
02 PB
"I think that the enrollment cap passed earli­er
was a good idea. If Auburn wants to admit
more students, it's going to have to expand
the campus first."
Kelly Disque
01 VAT
"If the University is going to allow the student
body to grow, they need to expand the facili­ties
and faculty to accommodate the larger
student body."
Tammy Thompson
04GPG
"Auburn should raise its admission stan­dards,
which would not only help limit the
number of students, but will also contribute
to the University's prestige."
Jennifer Armstrong
02 PV
"Auburn should examine the incoming stu­dents
more closely by looking at their high
school GPA as well as their SAT/ACT score."
Laura Catchings
•t- 01 PB
"I would suggest raising the academic stan­dards
of the school which would restrict the
number of incoming freshman."
Ellen Mullowney
03PRS
"Overpaths could be built for the major
crosswalks. This would help students walk­ing
to and from class and help traffic flow."
Ruby J. Smith
03VBU
"They should put a top on enrollment
because every year they're increasing enroll­ment
without expanding University facilities."
Karen Woltersdorf
04NUR
"They should increase admission standards
such as ACT scores and high school GPA
requirements. The University can be more
selective because more outstanding stu­dents
would be applying."
Lizabeth Burley
04 MK
"The simplest and most logical thing would
be to put a little more money into educational
buildings as opposed to stadiums. Auburn
has a lot of land."
David Shepherd
03 VM
"The University should build a parking deck
for students like they have for the faculty
which is adjacent to the library."
Richard Minor
04 LCJ

employs approximately 81 full-time
officers, Walton said. These
colleges have fewer students
and a smaller area to patrol.
During the past nine years,
the department has received
four additional officers despite
requests for new personnel each
year, according to Walton.
However, the police will not be
able to completely eliminate the
use of drugs, Walton said.
The penalty for selling a con­trolled
substance within three
miles of campus is five years
without possibility of parole,
according to Walton. Those
arrested for possession of a con­trolled
substance can be fined
between $500 to $1,000 depend­ing
on the amount of the sub­stance,
he said.
The police department also
averages eight to 10 DUI
arrests per week, he said. "Alco­hol
is our most abused drug,"
Walton said.
Chief Walton says that
more officers are needed.

When asked if it was worth
the minimum wage she received,
she said, "It is now because I can
laugh about it, but at the time I

Frank Crafts, 04 MK, said he
risked his life selling books in
rural Ohio this summer.
He didn't notice a "No Tres­passing"
sign and found himself
"staring down the barrel of a 12-
gauge."
He was given 10 seconds to
clear out, which he managed to
do, and he returned to Auburn
this fall $2,000 richer.
Then there are the more
enterprising.
During sorority rush week,
Craig Fulcher, 04 FI, sold fruit

rushees. Fulcher delivered the
baskets during rush. He made

SGA Treasurer Tim
Stocksdale reported that the
SGA finished the 1988-1989

Indigo Girls: acoustic blood and fire
Shayne Bowman
Village Life Editor
I do not feel the romance
I do not catch a spark
— Emily Saliers
Aspark, however, has caught the Indigo
Girls.
Their acoustic rhythms dance around the
campfire of success and sparks are exploding from
Emily Saliers said she and Amy Ray share a
chemistry despite their different tastes.
the golden flames.
On Sept. 18, Epic Records announced that the
Indigo Girls, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray, had
reached gold record status, with half a million
copies sold.
Their first single, "Closer to Fine," made the Top
10 on the pop charts, and Epic has just released
their next single, "Land of Canaan."
Success in Top 40 radio can cause a misrepre­sentation
of your music, singer Emily Saliers said
in an exclusive phone interview.
"I would prefer that our music be heard through
the grapevine because a lot of times they want to
hear a hit song and that's all. Where as our music
consists of a lot more than just "Closer to Fine,"
she said.
Yet, if radio can expose people, she said, then
give the rest of the music a shot at being exposed
to more people. It's extremely beneficial.
"Top 40 music doesn't really bother me. I don't
think of us as a Top 40 band at all, (especially)
now that I know the way a single gets played. It's
just a lot of politics," she said.
Yet, this campfire of success wasn't built
overnight nor were their friendships.
Saliers and Ray meet each other in elementary
school, when Emily was 11 and Amy was 10. Then
they went to the same high school, and, aside
from a short one year apart, they attended the
same college, Saliers said.
"We really didn't become close friends until I
had graduated from high school, but we hadn't
made a commitment. We weren't the Indigo Girls
then," she said.
through them or they know someone whose gone
through them.
"It just makes the world a lot closer. I think
music has the power to do that. So we take what
we do seriously because we feel like we've been
given a gift. We want to be responsible.
"We both feel like the world could be a much
stronger and nicer place, and I think that's part of
our message."
See Acoustic, B-8
Since their formation as the Indigo Girls, the '87
release of their debut album Strange Fire and the
self-titled gold LP, Saliers and Ray have grown
apart "as far as tastes go," she said.
"There was a time when we were very similar —
listened to the same kinds of music and dressed
the same way," she said. "Then we just kind of
went our own ways stylistically for whatever rea­son.
"Amy's very driven, obsessed by music, quick­tempered,
fiery and passionate. She's more into
rock n' roll and the hard edge, unlike me."
However, this difference doesn't cause problems
for the long time friends, she said.
"Actually, it's a nice compliment. There's kind of
a chemistry," she said.
The chemistry between Saliers and Ray is one
of two complimentary chemicals bonding like soul-mates.
"I think we have a real love and appreciation for
each other and for what each other can bring to
the group," Saliers said. "We realize that we
would not be here without the other one's help.
"What she can bring, I can't bring. And what I
can bring, she can't bring."
Together they bring a powerful message about
hope in an unfriendly world.
"We really want to make people feel good about
themselves," Saliers said. "Like the world is really
alienating. It doesn't have to be so alienating.
"What Amy and I try to do is write very person­al
songs. We aren't afraid to be vulnerable. And Indigo Girl Amy Ray met Emily Saliers
then maybe people can pick up on those things. w n e n she was 10 years old and Saliers, 1L
They relate to them because maybe they've gone
Think twice before using term 'selling out1
In my interview with Emily Saliers
of the Indigo Girls, one of the things
we talked about was the term "selling
out."
If you were to define the term, you'd
probably say, "compromising the music
for the sole purpose of making money."
However, Saliers made an interest­ing
point that, perhaps, anyone who
uses that term doesn't actually know
what they're talking about.
The music industry is so packed with
bureaucratic blood-red tape that it's
virtually impossible for anyone to
know who is actually selling who out.
The only person who is qualified to
say that he is selling out is the band
Shayne
Bowman
Village Life
Editor
member himself. But, then again,
who's going to admit that? Not many.
One of the bands most criticized for
"selling out" is, by far, REM. Who
hasn't accused them of selling out?
Imagine lead singer Michael Stipe
admitting, "Uh, yeah man, we thought
this Top 40 scene was so cool. We just
want to make money, that's all." Right.
He told MTV that he believed the
crossover (or breakthrough) into Top 40
radio was helping the band's exposure
and helping bring its message to more
people.
He also pointed out that the band
wouldn't have been able to play its
extensive tour of Europe without some
pop success, thereby taking the mes­sage
to even more people.
Stipe's theory seems to be holding
true for the Indigo Girls. With their
recent success reaching gold record
status the band is able to tour Europe
with 10,000 Maniacs. And their Jbllow-ing
is growing larger every day.
However, the singer admitted there
are a few sacrifices to be made. She
said that The Indigo Girls wanted their
next release to be "Kid Fears." The
song would be a bold choice. Yet, the
label decided to go for the more pro­duced,
up-beat "Land of Canaan."
Clearly, marketability and sales rule
the airwaves, not bold lyrics or experi­mental
sound. The major labels only
operate in a profit motive train of
thought.
Knowing this (what should be com­mon
knowledge), we still see bands
being accused every day of selling out.
I've been known to do it in the past
myself.
Just last week, I wrote the headline
for the Eurythmics review. It read,
"Eurythmics sell out with flatulent
release." Perhaps, this was a misguid­ed
assessment of what needed to be
said.
The Eurythmics' label may have
owned the rights to all the songs and
compiled the album itself. Perhaps, the
band actually thinks this new sound is
what they are. Who knows what is the
case?
I don't. Do you? & **

Folmar yanks provocative work
Montgomery Mayor Emory Folmar ordered a painting
removed from an exhibit in a city-owned gallery last week.
Folmar said the painting was suggestive.
The painting is by Huntington College art department Head
Dennis Sears. It portrayed a fully clothed woman lying on her
back. Her hands are on her breasts and groin.
Folmar removed the painting because of complaints from the
parents of children that viewed the display. The work was on
display at the Armory Arts Center located on Madison Avenue.
