Salaries cut to fu 1 core
Paige Oliver

The College of Liberal Arts,
like many schools, will have to
re-allocate instructional sum­mer
monies to fund program
development for the recently
approved core curriculum, Vice
President for Academic Affairs
Ronald Henry said.
Enrollment in majors within
the College are up 9.4 percent,
an increase that is also cause for
concern, Liberal Arts Dean
Mary P. Richards said.
"Enrollment is already a
crunch, both overall and in
departments," she said. "Sum­mer
is a good time. We're just
concerned with meeting the stu­dents'
needs."
But because most of the gen­eral
education courses required
in the new core are taught in
Liberal Arts, the College will
reap many of the benefits asso­ciated
with it.
"The funds are actually com­ing
back, but that doesn't
address the enormous student
pressure that exists during
summer quarter," she said.
Richards said she is also con­cerned
with the effect the bud­get
redistribution will have on
summer course offerings.
"We're not able to offer as
many classes as we offered
before," she said. "Not as many
students will be able to take
their choices.
"If someone has pretty specific
needs, I can't swear they'll be
able to get what they need."
Henry said the redistribution
will come from a $175,000 sum
normally taken out for general
purposes in the summer.
Richards said, "They hold it
back, and then you can go back
for your needs. We used to col­lect
a lot of that money."

Liberal Arts asks its faculty
to consider summer options
Paige Oliver
Editor
Liberal Arts faculty are
being asked to consider other
options besides teaching this
summer as means of support
because of salary cuts to fund
the core curriculum, Liberal
Arts Dean Mary P. Richards
said.
"In the end, I think it will be
good for our faculty to think
about spending that time
doing research — to think in
terms of options and alterna­tives
instead of thinking of
teaching," she said.
In an effort to find funding
in the summer budget to
finance the program develop­ment
of the core, the College
of Liberal Arts put a 75 per­cent
load limit on its faculty,
which will reduce annual
incomes, she said.
Regular salary is on a nine-and-
a-half month basis. Dur­ing
the summer, faculty can
earn up to 30 percent of their
annual income if they carry a
100 percent teaching load, she
said.
The 75 percent load limit -
down from last summer's 82
percent limit — will prohibit
faculty from approaching such
a salary, Richards said.

Committee asks
city about park
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
The Committee for Political
and Social Change questioned
the Auburn City Council Tues­day
night about the condition of
Martin Luther King Park since
its dedication on Jan. 13,1988.
In the committee of the whole
meeting, Lindburgh Jackson,
president of the group, said,
"(The council) promised $15,000
initially and $15,000 the follow­ing
year, and we have not seen
that money, and there is nothing
in the budget for 1990."
The park consists of two prac­tice
fields, but has no play­ground
equipment, picnic areas
or bathroom facilities, Jackson
said.
The city has 18 other parks,
and they have this type of
equipment, he said.
Jackson said the Park and
Recreation Board has about $1.2
million in its budget, and some
of that money should be spent
on Martin Luther King Park.
Mayor Jan Dempsey told the
group the time for them to talk
about the budget was during the
summer budget process.

The Budget and Finance Com­mittee
voted Tuesday to cut
The Circle magazine's budget 39
percent from last year's budget,
but surplus funds of about
$10,000 should still allow it to
produce up to three editions,
Committee Chairman Merle
Flowers said.
The Circle magazine asked for
$19,272, a 33 percent increase,
and was allocated almost
$9,000.
Some committee members
complained that the magazine
has not put out the three edi­tions
that it was expected to
publish. The first edition came
out this week.
"They are getting ready to put
out the first one, but its the end
of winter quarter. The commit­tee
felt why give them more
money that will not be used?"
Flowers said.
Committee member Allison
Lehr said during the hearings,
"I think they have misused their
funds for the past two years."

Parking lot: Communication should be next step to solve
city, University zoning dispute, manager says
Mary Orndorff
Staff Writer
Communication is the next
step in resolving the issue of a
zoning ordinance on Auburn's
off-campus parking lot on the
corner of Toomer Street and
Magnolia Avenue, according to
City Manager Doug Watson.
"We are in the process of let­ting
the University know of the
decision," Watson said.
The decision in question came
from the Auburn Board of Zon­ing
Adjustments Feb. 7, and
said the University would have
to conform to the city zoning
ordinance requiring buffer zones
around the lot.
That board decision is in
direct conflict with Attorney
General Don Siegelman's opin­ion
Sept. 27, which said the
University, a state agency, was
exempt from city ordinances.
"When the University moves
into the community, there is the
potential for a problem," City
Planning Director Bob Juster
said. "City officials need to meet
with the University and decide
what is involved in these resolu­tions."

president for facilities, said,

Legislature '90
Auburn talks about abortion bills passed by committee
Pam Radtke
Staff Writer
; The four bills that would restrict or
regulate abortions were recommended
for passage by the House Public Wel­fare
Committee last Wednesday.
"We're really encouraged," said Car­rie
Gordon, spokeswoman for the
Alabama Pro-Life Coalition.
"It's the shot in the arm that we need
to jump over the remaining hurdles.
There were a lot of people who didn't
think we would get this far."
However, Julia Batum, 04 GPA,
president of the Auburn chapter of the
National Organization for Women and
a member of t he Alabamians for
Choice Coalition, said, "The bills are
anti-female, anti-family.
"These bills are amazing; they're
obviously unconstitutional. I don't
think people expect these bills to pass,"
she said.
Pro-choice lobbyists said they believe
the legislation was recommended
because they haven't been able to get
organized enough to continuously get
lobbyists to the Capitol, Batum said.
"The coalition is trying to get down
to Montgomery, and we're writing let­ters,"
Batum said.
According to Auburn attorney Mar-rell
McNeal, the lack of visibility of
pro-choice is an indication that the
majority of Alabamians are in favor of
anti-abortion legislation.
McNeal is one of six Alabama attor­neys
who helped write three of the four
restrictive bills, he said.
"I am confident that a majority of
people in Alabama desire regulations
on abortion," he said.
The one bill that McNeal did not
help write would put the abortion
question to a public vote.
"We are opposed to a public referen­dum,"
Gordon said. "Life and death
decisions should not be up to the
whims of the public."
President of Montgomery's National
Organization for Women, Susan Dud­ley,
said she is not opposed to a public
referendum.
"The polls say that the voters are
pro-choice. If the question is worded
clearly the people will vote pro-choice."
In the two bills not requiring a refer­endum,
pro-life supporters had to com­promise
their ideals in the exceptions
of rape, incest and to save a woman's
life, McNeal said.
The third bill is a clinic regulations
bill.
"This bill is titled clinic regulations,"
Batum said, "but it's definitely mis­leading.
"The bill requires that the woman
receiving the abortion be shown pic­tures
of the developing fetus and that a
counselor discuss the moral obligations
of the abortion with the patient."
McNeal said, "Barbershops are more
regulated than abortion clinics right
now."

Professor nominated for Pulitzer
Sherri Chunn
Staff Writer
An Auburn professor's book
on poor whites in Alabama has
been nominated for the Pulitzer
Prize.
Poor But Proud: Alabama's
Poor Whites, written by Wayne
Flynt, traces the history of poor
whites from the antebellum
years to late World War II,
Flynt said.
Stories that Flynt heard from
his father and his aunt about
poverty in Alabama inspired the
book, he said.
"I would sit for hours just
absolutely enthralled when I
was 37, 38 and 39 listening to
their stories about how tough
times were and all the ways in
which they had to compensate
for things we have routinely," he
said.
The book has been nominated
by the University of Alabama
(UA) Press, which printed the
book, for the Pulitzer Prize in
Letters.
This is only the second nomi­nation
that the UA Press has
made in 12 years, according to
Malcolm MacDonald, press
director for the UA Press.
"This book is of such impor­tance
and is so gracefully writ­ten
that we think it is deserving
of the widest possible attention,
and that is one reason why we
submitted it for consideration
for the Pulitzer Prize," MacDon­ald
said.
In the book, Flynt combines
statistics gathered from various
agencies with oral histories
given by Alabamians.
"I wanted the book to allow
them to describe their own lives
as much as I could," Flynt said.
Flynt also had students in his
oral history class collect some of
the stories for his book, he said.
"A lot of them (the oral histo­ries)
were done with their par­ents
and grandparents, but the
I wanted the book to
allow them to
describe their own
lives as much as I
could.
- Wayne Flynt
ones that were most helpful
were the ones done with Opeli-ka
textile workers," he said.
Flynt said he wanted this
book to combat some of the
stereotypes of poor Southerners,
such as the belief that they do
not have any cultural tradition
in art or music.
One example of Southern cul­ture
is the hand-made quilts, he
said. "If there is anything more
beautiful in the world, I've
never seen it.
"There's Renoir, there's
Matisse and then there's the
works by the Southern folk quil-ter,
and these are works of art. -
"It's true that Hank Williams;
is not Bach or Handal, but it is
also true that Southern folk
music touches people as pro>
foundly as any piece of any-chamber
music," he said.
MacDonald said, "Once i n a -
rare while, perhaps once inial
generation, a book is published!
that causes people to change the;
way they think.
"By focusing attention on the
Southern poor, Professor Flynt
is causing scholars and general
readers to consider a major seg­ment
of the Southern population-in
an entirely new light."
Winners of the Pulitzer Prize
are scheduled to be announced
this spring.
"It's a tremendous sense of
fulfillment not just because of it
being nominated," Flynt said,
"but because of the people about
whom it is written and to whom
it is dedicated, because I really
want it to be their story."

Alcohol abuse hurts family
Ramon Scott/staff
Al-Anon and Adult Children of Alcoholics are two groups for people
who face problems with an alcoholic family member.
Editor's note: The names in this story
have been changed to protect the
sources' identities.
Sheila Hall
Staff Writer
Sarah is a good student. The old­est
of three siblings, she's help­ful
and kind. And her father is
an alcoholic.
She realized her father had a drink­ing
problem five years ago when she
was a sophomore in high school. She
was in peer counseling, and they were
having a session on alcoholism.
"It all sounded really, really familiar.
It sounded like what was going on in
my house," Sarah said.
Katie's father, like Sarah's, is also an
alcoholic. Katie also figured out her
father's problem about five years ago
during high school.
"I guess the real hint was when he
had heart surgery, and the doctor told
him he had better cut down on drink­ing.
That would've stopped me, but it
didn't stop him," she said.
Both women's lives are forever
directly affected by alcohol.
"Alcohol has a damaging impact on
at least one out of four people," said
Deborah Danford, director of psychi­atric
services at the East Alabama
Medical Center in Opelika.
"It is believed that there is a genetic
factor to alcoholism, but it is not purely
genetic," Danford said.
Both Sarah and Katie understand
that alcoholism may run in the family,
and both take that seriously.
"I've seen signs of it in myself, and
that's what scared me, what made me
not want to drink," Sarah said.
At least 75 percent of children of
alcoholics have addictive personalities,
Danford said.
"If they don't become alcoholics, they
are likely to become addicted to some­thing
else — food, relationships or
work," she said.
Addictive personalities may emerge
partly because the typical alcoholic
family has many secrets, and it doesn't
talk about feelings.
"Family members don't have a
healthy way of dealing with problems,
so they escape through the addiction,"
Danford said. "Family members keep
secrets from one another and from the
outside world. (
"Everyone in the family has a huge
system of denial. The alcoholic has a
core of emotions that include guilt,
shame, and fear.
"The alcoholic maintains the denial
through escape - escape to the bottle."
The spouse also experiences guilt,
shame, fear and anger. To defend
against that anger, the spouse engages
in what Danford calls "controlling and
protecting behaviors."
These behaviors include making
excuses for the alcoholic's actions to
the boss, to the family and to everyone.
Eventually, the spouse becomes self-righteous
and a martyr, suffering from
stress-related illnesses such as
headaches and backaches, she said.
Children of alcoholics usually feel
abandoned by both parents. The alco­holic
cannot give much to the children,
and the spouse is giving almost all he
or she has to the alcoholic, Danford
said.
She calls the oldest child the "hero."
The hero defends his parents and
becomes a surrogate parent for other
children in the family.
The hero is likely to become a worka­holic
because no matter how much this
person achieves, he will always feel
inadequate.
To get rid of these feelings of inade­quacy,
heroes often tend to grow up to
be people who take care of others, she
said.

Addiction
to nicotine
could kill
Annette Rogers
Staff Writer
Cool, sophisticated and
refreshing are words
cigarette ads frequently use
to describe smoking.
"It is estimated that the cigarette
industry needs 1,000 new smokers
a day to replace those who die each
day from smoking," former Surgeon
General C. Everett Koop said.
"If two jumbo jets crashed and
nobody survived it would equal the
number of people who die each day
from smoking," he said.
Cigarettes kill more people each
year than AIDS, heroin, crack,
cocaine, alcohol, car accidents, fire
and murder combined, according to
Koop.
"Cigarette smoking is the largest
preventable cause of death in Amer­ica,"
said Joseph A. Califano, secre­tary
of the U.S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
Three hundred thousand people die
prematurely each year from smok­ing.
"Today there can be no doubt that
smoking is truly slow-motion sui­cide,"
he said.

also be fatal. Each year 2,400 peo-

Users face problems with deadly addictions
Over-counter drugs
can cause addiction
Everette Lewis
fetaff Writer
Some over-the-counter
drugs or even caffeine
may be more harmful
than helpful.
No drug is completely safe, ac­cording
to Dr. Tom Moore, staff
physician at Drake Student
Health Center. But the degree
of Safety is higher for some.
"Medicines that have obvious
effects, people think they are
'useful," Moore said. "This is not
always true. They may be harm­ful.."
Many people think alcohol is
theibest thing to put on a cut,
he said. People feel it burn and
think it works. But it is more an
irritant and does not kill enough
germs to justify using it, Moore
said.
"The body is very adaptive,"
he said.
Tolerance to non-prescription
drugs is common, Moore said.
People can get these drugs in
unlimited supply.
A decongestant is one such
drug. Using it for a prolonged
period of time can allow the
body to get used to it.
"Decongestants can become
tolerated taken by mouth or as
nasal spray," Moore said.
"Because the nose gets a more
concentrated dose, nasal spray
tolerance is very common,
i • "If too much is used, the nose
adjusts to having it around and
when the medicine is gone it
(nasal cavity) swells up.
"People use nasal spray
because it works and is quick,"
he said. "But it's like using a
shotgun to cure a headache; it
works, but..."
"If after three days of using
nasal spray, when you wake up
in the morning after you used it
the night before and your nose
is stopped up, you are building a
tolerance."
Moore prescribes salt water
nasal sprays.
These tolerances create a
market for the drug, he said. It
is convenient and fast, and the
body has to have it.
"Getting over a nasal spray
tolerance is real hard," Moore
said. "It is miserable going
through the time it takes for
nasal membranes to readjust.
"There is a drug for people
who want to get off nasal spray.
Vancenase-AQ makes it less
painful."
Nasal spray tolerance is not
as dangerous as an addiction,
Moore said.
An addiction is having to have
a drug or suffering withdrawal,
he said.
Addiction to adrenaline-relat­ed
stimulants is a major prob­lem,
Moore said.
"Stimulative laxatives are a
problem, especially around older
people," Moore said. But addic­tion
to the stimulant caffeine is
more common.
Common drinks such as cof­fee,
colas and tea contain caf­feine.
"Tea is the worst," Moore said.
"It has more side effects per unit
of stimulation. Colas are as bad
as coffee."
Pills that help people stay
awake are even more danger­ous.
"I see no reason anyone
should ever take them," Moore
said. "Coffee is better."
The intake of caffeine can be
controlled with coffee, but not
with pills. If someone is up late
and drinking coffee to stay
awake and gets dizzy, he does
not have^Jo take the next swal­low,
Moore said.

personally feel I understood more about myself
after taking it," he said.
LSD is a chemical discovered in 1943 formally
called d-lysergic acid diethylamide. It is usually
soaked into sheets of perforated paper and taken
in small hits, or doses, of aspirin size paper tabs,
according to Sam, who researched the drug
before he began taking it.
Like many LSD users, Sam said he agrees
with most psychiatrists that LSD combines with
the user's personality to create individual
effects.
One such possible effect is called the "bad
trip." This is an LSD experience which goes sour.
The user often suffers from scary hallucinations
and intense paranoia in this condition, Sam
said.
According to Dr. Berry Berger, a bad trip can
be caused by a large dose of LSD or impurities in
the mixture.
"(But) the psychological makeup of the individ­ual
is probably the largest determinant," he
said.
Berger is director of the Program for Addiction
Recovery at the East Alabama Medical Center.
Sam began taking LSD three months ago. The
fifth time was the last time he took it. The fifth
time he had a bad trip, he said.
Sam said his bad trip resulted from having the
wrong attitude.
"At the base of all bad trips is fear," he said. "I
was being concerned about how my parents
would feel if they knew."
Sam had trouble defining what happened to
him during the trip, he said, partly because he'y

Jack has been off drugs for
three years now, but they
still affect his life.
Since he has been drug-free,
Jack has been in counseling,
and probably will be for the rest
of his life.
"The first time I tried drugs
was when I was 15," Jack said.
"I did it with some friends just
to see what it was like, and ever
since then I liked it.
"It was like 'Wow this is great.
It makes every thing OK I don't
have to be bored anymore. I
don't have trouble talking to
girls any more.' Drugs were
really good to me."
But, this drug-induced Nir­vana
does not last long, Jack
said.
"After a while you start to
build a tolerance to different
things, and they don't do the
same things they used to do for
you, but you can't quit," Jack
said. 'You want to but you can't.
You just keep going back to it.
You need help.
"Every month I'd divide what­ever
money I had up on food,
bills and drugs. Then I started
taking away more and more
from food and bills to pay for
drugs.
"Toward the end, I started
stealing, and taking from my
family. Drugs had taken over
my life."

A-4 The Auburn Plainsman February 22,1990
AUPD officer assaulted
Richard Parker
Staff Writer
A call for assistance by
Auburn City Police during a
fight at Mount Vernon Village
mobile home park resulted in
the assault of an AUPD officer
on Feb. 11.
"The suspect piped the offi­cer
and put a cut under his
eye," AUPD Chief Jack Walton
said.
John Francis Meagher III,
25, was arrested, Walton said.
"The suspect was charged
with assault on a police officer,
resisting arrest and disorderly
conduct," he said.
Walton said that city police
radioed for assistance during
The suspect piped

"a fight with weapons."
AUPD units arrived at 3:31
a.m. at the scene of the fight
off U.S. 29, he said.
Walton described the inci­dent
as a "drunk fight with a
number of people involved."
The fight involved pipes and
baseball bats, according to
Walton.
When the responding unit
from AUPD arrived, one of the
participants involved in the
fight was jumped by t he
AUPD officers, Walton said.
"The suspect fled through
the woods behind Mount Ver­non
Village, and the officers
gave pursuit," he said.
A second officer tackled the
suspect, and at that time, the
arrest was made, he said.
Meagher is not an Auburn
student, Walton said.
Paramedics on the scene
said that the officer did not
need medical attention, Wal­ton
said.
A spokeswoman for city
police said that they could find
no record of an incident at
Mount Vernon Village on Feb.

Speaker discusses Mandela
Mary Orndorff
Staff Writer
The United States remains an
influential factor in the struggle
against apartheid since the
release of Nelson Mandela from
a South African prison last
week, Tim Ring, 04 GSC, said in
a speech Tuesday.
"There has to be a way," King
said. "We need to keep pushing
and not let up."
Ring was the featured speak­er
for the week as part of Black
History Month.
"There is going to be a lot of
debate as to what we (the Unit­ed
States) should do," Ring said.
"It won't hurt to have dialogue
between Bush and (South
African President) F. W. de
Rlerk, as long as it is a strong
dialogue, more than just a pat
on the back.
"Rilling is an everyday thing
over there. Police don't hesitate
to shoot."
Violence upholds apartheid,
he said.
"Apartheid has become a way
of life there, and i t will be a
struggle," Ring said. "It will not
be an overnight thing."
The Bush administration has
expressed encouragement about
Mandela's release, but has not
given any indication about a
definite next step, he said.
Ring said he would like to see
Auburn's black population get
involved in the situation.
"Black-Americans need to
become aware of exactly what is
going on over there," he said.
"We need to be aware of the peo­ple
we elect and make sure they
understand the issues."
King said he questions the
effectiveness of United States
economic sanctions that have
been in effect since 1986.
"Japan filled the void left by
the U.S. sanctions," Ring said.
"The civilized world is supplying
this thing. Sanctions hurt the
people themselves, not necessar­ily
the companies involved."
He said he also disagrees with
a foreign policy that bombs
Libya and invades Panama, but
continues to watch the violence
of apartheid.
Jesse Jackson's visit to South
Africa is a positive influence on
the developments, Ring said. He
said he hopes it will serve to
keep the lines of communication
open between the countries.

February 22,1990 The Auburn Plainsman A-5
Group reaches victims
Student appointed president of AIDS program
Ellen Dozier
Staff Writer
A 29-year-old lobbyist, a 2-
year-old child, teachers, stu­dents,
government workers —
all are AIDS patients Sarah
Noble has known.
Noble, was recently appoint­ed
president of Lee County
AIDS Outreach (LCAO), a
county-wide AIDS outreach
and advocacy organization
which was founded last year.
"This is a worldwide prob­lem
that will affect everyone
eventually," she said. "I wish
people would drop their mis­conceptions
and preconcep­tions
and help.
"Helping can be as simple as
not discriminating against
someone with the HIV virus."
She said she spends about
seven hours a week working
for LCAO.
LCAO currently serves six
AIDS patients in the area,
Noble said.
The organization's goals are
to educate the public about
AIDS and to help those who
are in any way affected by the
disease, she said.
Operating funds come pri­marily
from grants, and while
there are hundreds of state
and federal grants, competi­tion
is stiff for such a small
organization, Noble said.
Noble, 21, said she first
became acquainted with AIDS
when a friend was diagnosed
with the disease in the early
1980s.
Her father is an epidemiolo­gist
with the Centers for Dis­ease
Control in Atlanta. These
two factors led her to become
involved with LCAO, she said.
"I have too many friends
(who have AIDS) not to be
involved with AIDS outreach,"
Noble said.
LCAO has about 60 volun­teers.
They help the organiza­tion
in a number of ways from
doing paperwork to serving as
"buddies" to AIDS patients in
the area, Noble said.
Buddies take people with
ADDS (PWAs) to the doctor and
to social service agencies when
they need to go, she said.
They help PWAs clean house
or cook dinner when they don't
feel well, she said. "Buddies
are friends. That's the bottom
line," Noble said.
The buddies are not a
replacement for the PWAs'
families. Most of the families
do know about their illnesses
and are for the most part sup­portive,
she said.
The LCAO board includes a
vice president, secretary, trea­surer,
chairmen for the four
committees and four members-at-
large.
"Right now renting office
space and paying phone bills
are our primary concern," she
said.
She said she wants to offer
counseling for people who
have had the AIDS test.
'ABC s' of AIDS discussed
Ellen Dozier
Staff Writer
Not until celebrities like Rock
Hudson began dying from AIDS
did Americans begin to realize
that the "them" usually associ­ated
with AIDS was fast becom­ing
"us," Dr. Jacob Gayle said
Tuesday night.
Gayle, the special assistant
for minority HIV Policy Coordi­nation
for the Center for Dis­ease
Control in Atlanta, spoke
at an educational forum spon­sored
by Lee County AIDS Out­reach
(LCAO).
He became involved with
AIDS six years ago when one of
his students was diagnosed HIV
positive, he said.
"We sat in the office and
cried," he said. "I didn't know
what else to do six years ago.
"This past summer, the
100,000th person was diagnosed
with AIDS."
There are three ways to trans­mit
the HrV virus — by sharing
needles, through sex and from
mother to infant, Gayle said.
However, this is not the same
as saying drug addicts and
homosexuals transmit the dis­ease,
he said.
Athletes who use steroids
could share needles, and
insulin-dependent persons could
share needles, he said.
The virus can be transmitted
orally, anally and vaginally
between homosexuals and het­erosexuals,
Gayle said.
Gayle named three ways to
avoid sexual transmission. He
called them the "ABCs."
"A" is for Abstinence - the
only sure way to avoid the dis­ease,
he said.
"B" stands for "Be mutually
monogamous," Gayle said.
"C" is for Condom, he said.
Pairing it with the spermicide
Nonoxynol-9, has been shown to
kill the virus, he said.
If individuals are going to
share needles, they should know
how to clean them properly,
Gayle said.
This involves drawing bleach
through the syringe first and
rinsing through with water.

Scholarships make history
Alison R. Appich
Staff Writer
For the first time in its histo­ry,
Auburn awarded more than
$1 million in academic scholar­ships
for the 1988-1989 school
year.
Despite the increase, Associ­ate
Director of Financial Aid
William Watson said he doubts
that the amount of scholarships
will have an effect on the quali­ty
of students who are consider­ing
applying to the University.
"I don't really think it will
help us t h a t much," Watson
said. "Passing the $1 million
mark sounds good, but we lag
far behind other universities our
size.
"We still need to award a lot
more money in order to be com­petitive."
At total of $1.14 million was
divided among 1,129 students,
with scholarship amounts rang­ing
from $500 to $8,000, Watson
said.
The 1988 school year reflected
a 15 percent increase over the
previous year, Watson said.
Watson estimated that for the
1989-1990 school year Auburn
will give approximately $1.3
million in academic scholar­ships.
Scholarships are awarded to
students on the basis of excep­tional
academic achievement,
with special consideration for
those students who display
financial need, live in a particu­lar
geographic area or major in
a specific field, Watson said.

arships are interest from the
University's combined endow­ment
funds, alumni annual giv­ing
and recurring gifts, he said.
The sale of Auburn commemo­rative
license plates has also
contributed significantly to the
scholarship fund, he said.
Auburn was able to award its
first three $1,524 scholarships
this fall from the i n t e r e st
earned from its own $257,000
endowment fund, Watson said.
The program, "License to
Learn," awards these non­renewable
scholarships to
incoming freshmen from Alaba­ma,
he said.
Another new source of schol­arship
revenue for Auburn is its
trademark licensing program,
which began in 1985, Watson
said.
2,000 expected for E-day
Amy Cebula
Staff Writer
About 2,000 to 2,500 high
school students will be in
Auburn Friday for the annual
E-Day sponsored by the Col­lege
of Engineering, Rod Jenk­ins
of the civil engineering
department said.
"The day is for visitors, one
of the few opportunities high
schoolers have to visit a major
campus," Jenkins said.
E-Day has four purposes,
according to Jenkins, chair­man
of the faculty E-Day com­mittee.
First, it calls attention to
engineering and what it
entails, he said.
Second, it acquaints people
with Auburn. "We t ry to
encourage people to come to
Auburn," Jenkins said.
Third, it shows what the Col­lege
of Engineering is about
and what opportunities it has
to offer, Jenkins said.
Fourth, it lets each depart­ment
of the College of Engi­neering
show what its field is
like.
Each year a different branch
of engineering is highlighted,
Jenkins said. This year agri­cultural
engineering will be in
the spotlight.
E-Day started 14 years ago
in an effort to improve enroll­ment,
Jenkins said.
It is financed by the Engi­neering
Alumni Council, the
College of Engineering and
various industries, he said.
Dale Dreyer, 03 AC, said he
came to E-Day when he was a
high school senior.
"I thought E-Day was a real­ly
good program. It showed me
Auburn and what its engineer­ing
department and curricu­lum
was like."
The department of industri­al
engineering will set up
tables in Foy Union to demon­strate
computer simulations,
according to Celeste Sage,
treasurer of the Institute of
Industrial Engineers.

Candance Boles
Staff Writer
The Department of Housing
and Residence Life will sponsor
Wellness Week March 1-8 fea­turing
David Crosby, of Crosby
Stills, Nash and Young.
Crosby will discuss his alcohol
and drug addiction on March 8,
according to Becky Bell, assis­tant
director x)f housing.
"We want to t a k e part in
encouraging all students to
make healthy decisions in their
life, and we feel that Wellness
Week will be a good start," Bell
said.
The week will be filled with
educational programs dealing
with substance abuse and pro­moting
a safe spring break, she
said.
The slogan for the week will
be "Get High On Life" and will
appear on T-shirts and posters
advertising the week.
"Pledge cards will be dis­tributed
among the students
pledging not to drink and drive,"
Bell said.
Drinking and driving is a
major cause of deaths among
young people, she said.

'Recipe' for roaches
Auburn helps housewife create bug killer
Jennifer Costar
Staff Writer
Residents in southeast Alaba­ma
have a new way to kill
roaches, thanks to Sherry Her­ring,
inventor of "The Recipe for
Roaches."
The Recipe has been on the
market since May 1988, Her­ring,
a Saydette housewife, said.
Herring began working on
The Recipe in 1984 because she
had roaches, she said.
"Roaches are picky," Herring
said. "I came up with everything
they liked to eat and combined
them into one bait so they'd look
for it."
Clint LeNoir, a management
specialist with the Auburn Tech­nical
Assistance Center (ATAC),
said he worked with Herring on
the project.
"It's called The Recipe because
this product actually attracts
the little critters, so they come
with a healthy appetite," LeNoir
said.
"They come out of the walls
for it," he said.
The Recipe comes in the form
of white, dough-like patties
which are soft and can be bro­ken
into pieces and put any­where,
LeNoir said.
The Recipe is sold in an eight
ounce container and costs any­where
from $6.99 to $8.59. Each
container has about 40 patties,
Herring said.
"This product is completely,
environmentally safe," she said.
"It leaves no residue. It breaks
down completely."
Boric acid is the only chemical
in the product, she said.
After Herring began produc­ing
The Recipe, she said she
needed some business expertise,
LeNoir said.
She had the product but was­n't
sure how to market it to the
consumer, so she contacted the
ATAC, he said.
The ATAC is part of the divi­sion
of external affairs of the
College of Business, LeNoir
said.
"We deal with client research
products. If a company has a
need, and it can be addressed
through the resources of the
University, then we can help
them," he said.
Herring started using The
Recipe in 1984. She said she
realized she had something no
one else had.
"I kept testing it in different
areas," she said. "It would work
where other products wouldn't."
LeNoir said he pointed out
pitfalls and tried to help Her­ring
look into the future.
Although she hasn't made any
major errors, the business has-
Chris Stewart/staff
n't grown as quickly as she had
hoped, he said.
Herring said her goal "right
now is to grow into about five
more wholesale grocery outlets
in the next six months."
"This would at least double
my sales," she said.
She contacted Winn Dixie,
Louis Bear (Pensacola),
Delchamps (Mobile) and Brunos
to market the product.
"What helps me is for people
to ask for (The Recipe) in a gro­cery
store," she said.
"I create a demand, and then I
go into a grocery store and say,
'Look, they (shoppers) want the
product. You need me.'"
Starting a business is hard,
expensive and almost impossi­ble,
she said.
'You start real small, and you
find out how to grow," she said.
"It's not instant success."
Herring is president of Her­ring
Inc. The company is located
in Faydette and manufactures
The Recipe.

Freshwater lobster rocks
Elizabeth Lander
Staff Writer
; David B. Rouse, professor of
fisheries and allied aquacul-tures,
brought freshwater lob­s
t e r from Down Under to
Auburn.
The Australian crawfish
(freshwater lobster) was intro­duced
to Union Springs in May.
! This is the first viable fresh­water
lobster in the United
States. The lobsters were har­vested
at a quarter-pound in
September, he said.
Evidence indicates there is a
great deal of potential with this
species, Rouse said.
He has had inquires from pri­vate
producers around the coun­try,
he said.
"There is a great demand for
private lobster farming," he
said. This species is highly
adaptable and sells for at least
four times the cost of catfish.
"We want to help Alabama's
farmers.
"I don't think that the lobster
market will be affected at all. I
think this species will have a
market all its own," he said.
The crawfish tastes like
Maine lobster, and the quarter
pound size is preferred by
restaurants, he said.
TheTlocal specimen contains
15 percent tail meat, but the
field subject yields 20-25 per­cent,
he said.
"This project has primarily
been funded by the private sec­tor.
"We hope to eliminate any
problems during research before
introducing it to the private sec­tor,"
he said.
Rouse will be at Louisiana
State University for a scientists'
meeting in April to discuss
introducing the species to the
private sector for farming.
Research will continue to
determine whether the lobster
has any negative environmental
impact, he said.
Freshwater lobster should be
marketed by 1992.

Faculty requested
to consider options
continued from A-l
"They (faculty members) are
"viewing this as a cut, which it
I is," she said. "But we've done
' this for a number of reasons, to
j help the most people in the
" fairest way we could."
J However, Richards said low
', faculty morale is a problem,
; regardless of the benefits a core
I curriculum will bring.
"It's a real sore issue, espe­cially
in a year when there were
no salary increases," she said.
"I haven't heard anyone say,
'Well, maybe we shouldn't have
passed the core.' That's not it.
It's largely an economic issue for
people who work very hard."
The College will attempt to
supplement faculty income by
possibly awarding three $3,500
research grants.
"We can't compensate
salaries, but we can look for
alternatives," she said. "Any
reduction in salaries is a painful
thing and not something the
College is happy about."
Summer monies cut
continued from A-l
Henry said, "Setting the
money aside is a normal prac­tice.
The difference is this time
I have not set the money aside
to plug the gaps. I've set it
aside and said, 'We're going to
use this for program develop­ment.'
"The summer instructional
budget is still all going very
much to instruction. The only
difference being that this time
we are going to underwrite
development of some courses."
Despite the financial strains
the budget redistribution is
causing, Richards said, the
new core curriculum will help
Auburn in the long run.
"This is really going to put
Auburn on the map," she said.

B & F reduces
several budgets
continued from A-l
The Circle Editor Rebecca
Haack said three issues will be
printed this year, but the first
issue was delayed because of
uncontrollable problems.
The committee allocated
$810,185 of student activities
fees to eight organizations, but
cut more than $17,000. that
was requested.
The SGA requested $76,413,
which was a 20 percent
increase from last year, and
was allocated $72,730.
The committee approved
WEGL requests for an addi­tional
$12,000 to employ a sec­retary.
The committee also vo^d to
cut the UPC's $280,114 budget
request by $4,250.
The committee approved
The Tiger Cub's request of
$32,324, which was up from
l a s t year's $30,113. Recre­ational
Services requested
$138,032, and the committee
approved all but $200. Per­forming
Arts requested
$49,429 and $46,429 was
approved.
The GSO requested $12,456
and the committee approved
$10,796.
Communication needed
continued from A-l
set to provide a space for park­ing
in good taste, attractiveness
and to improve the appearance
of Magnolia and that area.
"We are working in coopera­tion
with the city to do that."
Currently, Drake has ordered
oak trees to be planted next to
the lot, but Watson said they do
not fulfill buffer zone require­ments.
"We are pleased they are
planting trees," Watson said,
but the trees will be in the right
of way along the street and not
on the property where the
buffers should be.
Juster said it is not the atti­tude
of city hall to make this an
adversarial relationship be­tween
the city and the Universi­ty.
President James E. Martin
said he has a "desire to cooper­ate"
with the city.

Park's condition
debated at council
continued from A-l
Dempsey said the property
was originally where the
Franklin High School was locat­ed
and belonged to the School
Board.
The board could have sold it
- for $480,000 to a firm to build
apartments, but the mayor and
council were instrumental in
obtaining the property with a
long-term lease for the city, she
said.
"This was not a politically
popular decision, but we real­ized
the historical significance
of the decision. It was sad not to
preserve the site," Dempsey
said.
Franklin High School was a
black high school for Auburn
before desegregation, she said.
Foster Street Park was put in
a priority position over Martin
Luther King Park in budget
decisions, Dempsey said.
Other items took priority over
the park system in the budget
process, she said.
"I invite you to encourage vol-unteerism
as other communities
have done with parks in their
area, such as the Duck Samford
Park," Dempsey said.
Other organizations have pro­vided
volunteer efforts and
money to subsidize the city's
efforts in providing park equip­ment,
she said.
Barbara Pitts, president of
Delta Sigma Theta and member
of the Committee for Political
and Social Change, thanked
Dempsey for her historic peiv
spective of the park.
But she said, "The park
should be exemplary of the life
of Martin Luther King, which
was multi-faceted, and an
empty field does not exemplify
that."
Pitts said a long-term plan for
the park needs to be developed
before volunteerism can begin.
Dempsey told Pitts and Jack­son
that the city's record on
racial issues was good. "I
applaud the record of this coun­cil
and resent your coming here
and telling us what is fair and
not fair.
"I don't like to think of our
city in reference to white neigh­borhoods...
or black neighbor­hoods."
Dempsey said. "We want
our parks to be assets for all of
us."
The Rev. Morris E. Lewis, vice
president of the Committee for
Political and Social Change
said, "Our side of town is not in
as good shape as other parts of
town."
About 120 people marched
from Martin Luther King Park,
located on Byrd Street to A.M.E.
• Zion Church on Martin Luther
King Day to protest the park's
condition.

Budget frenzy
AND THEY SLASHED with a frenzy. When the
budget and finance committee was finished Mon­day
night The Circle magazine had $10,000 cut out
of its budget requests, while the SGA had close to $4,000
axed from from its requests.
B & F committee members cut the magazine after com­plaining
that previous funding had not been utilized. Iron­ically,
the first edition of The Circle this year was dis­tributed
the next day.
And though senators felt that The Circle was requesting
money the staff would not use, the magazine's editor stat­ed
that problems had been solved and that things were
back to normal.
Though the cuts may seem harsh, this may be just what
the magazine needs to rebound from troubled waters.
When The Circle reaches stable ground and proves itself
as it has in the latest issue, then its budget requests
should be honored.
Even with the cut, SGA leaders were still content with
their funding, but it was the GSO that should be all
smiles. After years of bickering about where the organiza­tion's
funding should even come from, the GSO finally sat
down - j u s t like the other student organizations — to make
its formal funding requests.
Cut and dry
WHEN THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES approved a
new 61-hour core curriculum two weeks ago,
many faculty members were aglow with visions
of a brighter future for Auburn.
But as the reality of the situation set in — a redistribu­tion
of summer monies that would affect the types of
courses offered, faculty salaries and even some graduate
teaching assistant programs - most became disenchanted.
And it's no wonder why.
Faculty members received no pay increase this year, a
tragedy in itself. Now many of the schools are reducing
loads to compensate for reallocated funding. And, though
the choice of where the funding wiU come from has been
left up to the schools, many are finding their richest
resource for funding is instruction.
Approximately $150,000 will be needed to begin develop­ment
of core curriculum programs, but keeping faculty
morale up should take an even greater precedent.
: Liberal Arts Dean Mary P. Richards said that College is
trying to award grants to faculty members to provide
incentive, but individual schools can only do so much.
It will be no surprise if the University loses some valu­able
faculty members who can easily get better offers else­where.
It is a problem, and one the administration must
address.
Maybe the answer lies in a salary increase next year.
Maybe that will be too late. But the fact remains unless
the administration compromises with its faculty on
salaries, no core curriculum, great or small, will benefit an
understaffed University.
fGood news...'
THE ANTICIPATION of the University's literary
magazine has ended as this year's first edition of
The Circle appeared earlier this week. The well-produced
magazine reflects the talent and ability of a
select group of Auburn students. While publication delays
are not justified, we are certainly glad to see the finished
product in lieu of thejconcern created by The Circle during
the B « F hearings this past week.
Student leaders clutch nepotism
Some say the editorial page
spares no one the pen.
That being the case, it's time
to focus on a new group — one
that represents the masses at
this University known as the
student body.
They are your leaders. And
clutching nepotism, they are
giving peer representation a bad
name.
Arbitrary appointments to
student boards and committees
are forcing student leaders cam-puswide
to fake it. And because
they are not trained to serve on
these bodies efficiently, it seems
they have no choice.
Let's take a look:
• Board of Communications
Your favorite and mine, the
Comm Board (as it is affection­ately
called throughout the pub­lication
ranks) serves as mom
and dad to groups like WEGL,
the Glomerata and The Plains­man.
In addition to your SGA presi­dent,
who has been deemed
qualified merely by virtue of his
position, there are six members
on the Board including the SGA
vice president, the SGA treasur­er,
a former IFC president and
the UPC Coordinator. No SGA
nepotism there.
With the exception of your
SGA treasurer, who could be
qualified to speak on budgets
(and only budgets as far as this
Board is concerned), student
leader Paul DeMarco is the only
member that knows enough
about the functioning of the
campus publications to guide
their leaders.
Also appointed to the Board is
an alternate who is supposed to
serve in the absence of a regular
member.
Funny thing about that alter­nate,
though. Seems when a
member cannot attend, an unof­ficial
proxy - or friend as the
case may be — is sent instead of
the alternate.
The alternate, in fact, has
never been contacted to serve in
place of a member. So much for
the Code of Laws that required
that appointment in the first
place.
Of course, the Comm Board
does have the one thing many
other boards and committees
don't have - experienced faculty
guidance immediately accessible
to the students.
Now meet a Board where not
even that luxury can keep it
honest:
• Traffic Appeals Board
Since SGA officials charged a
faculty member on this Board
with illegal voting procedures
last fall, some have questioned
just how informed are students
on this Board. Not very, it
seems, since it took almost a
year for the student leaders to
notice something was awry.
And while ignorance is no
excuse, it certainly is a preva­lent
one for the students who
claim they didn't know any bet­ter.
Perhaps someone in the
know - if there is such a person
— could teach them about the
Board's standard operating pro­cedures.
Or maybe just the dif­ference
between right and
wrong.
Of course, then there are the
unconfirmed reports about stu­dent
bias on the Board, which is
supposed to be offset by the fac­ulty
members. Between that
and the allegations of last fall,
i t ' s easy to lose faith in the
Board's objectivity.
• Board of Elections
Speaking of objectivity, it's
hard to believe such a concept
exists in this governing body of
our democratic campus elections
process. Nepotism is at its peak
in this executive branch com­mittee,
but not because of the
students who must serve on the
Board.
Instead, this Board is faced
with the near-impossible task of
maintaining objectivity about
candidates who double as frater­nity
brothers, former campaign
managers and good friends.
The SGA Code of Laws calls
for the disbarment of biased
members by a 5/6 vote by
remaining members. But even
though conflicts of interest exist
on this year's Board, somehow, I
just don't see anyone moving off
of it.
On the bright side, we haven't
reached the stage Alabama hit
last spring in its elections, so
there's no need to fret. Yet.
It would be nice, however, if
the same 15 people or so didn't
run the Boards and committees
we as students depend upon for
representation. Justice on this
campus wavers because of it.
Faculty evaluations need revision
The current faculty evaluation
system has greatly diminished
the academic standards at
Auburn.
Faculty members are forced to
reduce their grading standards
because their careers and
salaries are directly affected by
students' evaluation of them
each quarter.
A professor who teaches a stu­dent
to think for himself, requir­ing
more work, most likely will
receive a bad evaluation. Stu­dents
sometimes confuse being
required to think for themselves
with laziness on the part of the
professor.
Face it, students in public
schools in the Southeast have
been spoon-fed since grade
school, and a spoon-feeding pro­fessor
can be assured a good
evaluation.
The SGA brought to light
some interesting information
about Auburn's current evalua­tion
system when it made the
Melissa
Denney
Assistant
News Editor
request to have it available for
students.
Miller Solomon, University
Senate chairman said if the
evaluations were printed, it
would not give a fair description
of the quality of instruction. "I
think it (the current evaluation)
is worthless," he said.
Last week in a University
Senate meeting a grievance was
filed by a professor stating that
the current evaluation system
was a violation of his academic
freedom.
The SGA even admitted that
before the evaluations could be
published the questions would
be have to be changed to be
more specific.
This brings some important
questions. Why are so many
careers and salaries directly
affected by an instrument that
has been so openly questioned?
Why does Auburn spend thou­sands
of dollars each quarter on
these evaluations if they are
inaccurate?
Students have a right to
demand and receive quality
education, but this is not the
way to do it. The current system
is self-defeating.
The evaluation system does
not need to be eliminated, but it
does need to be one part of an
instructional evaluation plan.
This plan should include pre­sentation-
skills classes for pro­fessors
and aptitude tests for
students.
In addition, a student
grievance plan should also be
put in place so students can
have a vehicle to voice com­plaints.
Students, for the most part,
take the evaluations seriously
and do respond to the best of
their ability. However, it is
human nature to dislike work­ing
hard, and attitudes are
directly affected.
A university system where
students evaluate professors
during the quarter they have
the professor is not the answer;
grades bias opinions.
Evaluations should reflect
how much students learn, not
how well they like their profes­sors.
The original purpose of the
evaluations was good - to insure
quality instruction — but it has
failed. A new system needs to be
implemented to avoid further
diminishing of academic stan­dards.
It's time the evaluations were
evaluated.
Students do extra-quarter thing
Don't think about grabbin' for
that cap and gown yet.
A survey published last week
by the National Institute of
Independent Colleges and
Universities said that the
average "four-year college"
student is taking longer than
four years to graduate and hey,
Aub,urn's no exception.
About one in four Auburn
student's graduate in four years,
but it may take almost another
year for the majority of students
to earn that diploma.
And it's not j u s t because
seniors are waiting for one last
football season to graduate,
instead there are a number of
factors. Counselors believe that
because of more difficult classes,
lighter hour loads and less
pressure to graduate, students
are waiting one more quarter
before they make that venerable
walk across the stage.
The national survey tracked
students through their college
careers and found that 15.5
percent graduated after four
years and only 40.7 percent had
graduated after six years, while
at Auburn by fall of 1989 28.3
percent of graduating seniors
had been here four years and 55
percent had taken five years to
complete school.
Taking my own informal
survey, the counselors I talked
to in the different colleges
a t t e s t ed that most Auburn
students are upholding the
national average by not

graduating in just four years.
Business students average
about 13 quarters before
graduating, though it used to be
take just 12.1 guess that's what
happens when you don't even
have classes on Friday. With
new curriculum changes
though, business students will
now graduate when they have
taken 192 hours instead of the
previous over 200 mark. These
students should be able to get
out a full quarter sooner with
these new requirements.
Auburn engineering students
take about four and a half years
to leave with their degrees, but
with more required classes
because of the core curriculum
this could mean more quarters.
So what's another $500 in
tuition costs between friends?
As for the liberal arts student,
it also takes about 13 quarters
to walk to the stage, but then
again liberal arts students are
known for changing their
majors five or six times before
settling on one they like.
The survey reported some
students are taking longer to
graduate because of debts
occurred from loans, in addition
to the increased cost of tuition,
living and books. Throw in your
co-op students and student
athletes and it is no wonder that
most are doing that extra-quarter
thing.
There are some reasons for
extended quarters the survey
didn't mention though, such as:
- With a good football team
wouldn't you stay one last fall?
- The defense budget cuts are
getting scary so ROTC students
are hanging out until war
breaks out.
- If you were an Auburn student
athlete and lived in Sewell Hall
wouldn't you stay?
Do you blame them, I don't.

This for your children?
Editor, The Plainsman:
Should we listen to Delos
McKown's interpretations of
the Bible while he says he
doesn't believe in the Bible? I
think not. Here are some vers­es
that offer insight into what
the Bible says about abortion.
"Before I formed you in the
womb I knew you, and before
you were born I consecrated
you," Jeremiah 1:5.
"Thy hands made me and
fashioned me," Psalm 119:73.
"For thou didst form my
inward parts; Thou didst
weave me in my mother's
womb...My frame was not hid­den
from Thee, when I was
made in secret...Thine eyes
have seen my unformed sub­stance;
and in Thy book they
were all written the days that
were ordained for me, when as
yet there was not one of them,"
Psalm 139:13-16. There are
many others.
But beyond the abortion
debate, the philosophy
teacher's paper brings up
another question.
Think about it — do you want
McKown teaching Auburn stu­dents
and your sons and
daughters his philosophy?
There is no God, no role for a
value system based on the
Bible, no role for Biblical
truths concerning such issues
as abortion?
I'm all for thought-provoking
debate and discussion, but the
time, in McKown's words as
reported by the Montgomery
Advertiser, "to sit around and
watch falsehoods pile higher
and higher and not do any­thing,"
is over.
Remember, his salary is paid
by the people of Alabama. I'm
not saying non-believers
shouldn't be allowed to teach
courses like math, chemistry
etc., but philosophy is a differ­ent
matter.
I don't like the idea of his
philosophy being taught to
hundreds of students or my
friend's sons or daughters.
I don't know how he is going
to separate his beliefs about
religion from philosophical dis­cussions.
That's a question Auburn
University should ask itself.
Do we really want the McK-owns
of this world helping
form the beliefs of Auburn stu­dents?

ISO chooses new officers
Editor, The Plainsman:
New officers have been
named to run the Internation­al
Students' Organization
(ISO) for the 1990 academic
year.
They include Adjavon
Vewonyi (Togo), president;
Valentine Itor (Cameroon),
vice president; Annajane Mar-lar
(England), secretary; and
Nandika Prakash (India), trea­surer.
Committee chairpersons
include Connie Mugalla
(Kenya), elections; Joseph
Orban (Nigeria), public rela­tions;
Kamal Bouhadir (Le­banon),
program and social;
and Flomo Yanquoi (Liberia),
membership.
The ISO is open to all inter­national
students and those
interested in international
relations. The aim of the orga­nization
is to promote interac­tion
between students from
different countries including
the United States as well as
address the needs of foreign
students.
International students are
encouraged to participate in
the activities of the organiza­tion.
A major activity that the
ISO will be involved in this
quarter is the World's Fair, an
educational, cultural and tal­ent
display by international
students at Auburn.
The World's Fair will be held
today at the Memorial Colise­um
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. All
Auburn students are invited to
come and take a trip around
the world.

ISO Public Relations
Carpenter shows simplicity
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing this letter in
response to Sean Carpenter's
rebuttal of Michael Hatcher's
February 8 column, "Pigs of
heavy metal chuck good taste."
If according to Carpenter,
Hatcher expressed his closed-mindedness,
then Carpenter in
his letter, expressed his sim­ple-
mindedness. Carpenter
said that the last time he
checked "10 million albums
meant good music."
I would like to know where
he checked, because as far as I
know popularity has never
necessitated good art and
that's just what music is, a
form of art.
Carpenter must think that
Michael Jackson is the great­est
since he has sold more
albums than Guns 'N' Roses
probably ever will.
Just because a group doesn't
sell 10 million albums or isn't
as well known by the masses,
it doesn't mean they're not
good which is what one would
have to conclude Carpenter is
saying in his letter.
Believe it or not there are
some groups, such as Bauhaus,
the mother group of "Love and
Rockets," and singers like
Robyn Hitchcock, whose main
concern is not to attain popu­larity
but to create the best
music possible.
If you've never heard of the
artists mentioned above, Car­penter,
I suggest that you give
them a listen; you might find
that you actually like some­thing
that's not mainstream
and popular.

Gilmore bitter, begrudged
Editor, The Plainsman:
Yo Adrienne!
Please stop. Whatever it is
that you're trying to do, please
stop. I can only assume that
you are making an attempt at
satirization, but I'm not sure.
If your articles are trying to
satirize, then you have a few
problems: 1) they're not funny;
2) they're too bitter; 3) not
enough people can associate
with your point of view to
make the article effective; 4)
they suffer from an obvious
overuse of a thesaurus.
At this point, I would like to
address problem No. 2. Why
are you so bitter, Ms. Gilmore?
You obviously have a grudge
against things that many of
the rest of us like, namely
Valentines Day and the Hill.
What has created all of this
animosity? Were you stood up
at the altar? Has the ghost of
Bette Davis taken over your
body? Or do you just think
yourself above everything else?
My advice to you, Ms.
Gilmore, is to get off your
pedestal or whatever else
you're sitting on that's making
you so uncomfortable.

Oliver misses point about bill
Editor, The Plainsman:
Paige Oliver's Jan. 18 col­umn,
"Ignoring it can make it
go away," missed the point. In
the article, she stated, among
other things, that women are
losing their reproductive free­dom
and that the recently
introduced state abortion bill
mixes church and state.
The arguments from the left,
Oliver's included, always
address "individual rights" and
"a woman's right to her own
body." She refers to this as
"reproductive freedom."
Of course, Oliver's argument
and all others alike ignore the
question of when life really
begins. Since she opposes the
Webster decision, which pro­tects
viable me (five months),
it is apparent that you believe
life begins at birth.
I imagine that if Oliver had
her way with the Webster case,
abortions would not only be
available at six months, but at
seven, eight and nine months
as well.
We all are aware that the
Roe v. Wade decisions insured
abortions through the second
trimester. But we are also
aware that this is a joke.
When was the last time you
heard of a doctor being pun­ished
for performing an abor­tion
in the third trimester?
It's not hard to see that the
baby inside the womb is clear­ly
alive and feels everything
that a baby outside the womb
does.
Oliver's argument that laws
containing a moral base (mur­der,
etc.) have been dictated by
the masses and therefore are
acceptable is hardly worth
mentioning. She could have
said the same thing during
times of slavery, too.
The same goes for segrega­tion.
Clearly when the majori­ty
supports a law, that doesn't
mean the law is necessarily
correct.
The time has come for Oliver
and others in her position to
take a stand and answer the
question of when life begins.
It's been a long time coming, so
now is the chance. After all,
ignoring it won't make it go
away.

Glance back
5 years ago, 1985: President James E. Martin ruled that Kappa Alpha fraternity could no longer
display the oversized Confederate banner in front of its fraternity house. Martin's decision followed
campus controversy between members of the Black Student Action Committee and the KAs over
the fraternity's Old South celebration.
10 years ago, 1980: Auburn City Council voted 6-1 to pass an ordinance "prohibiting solicitations
for charitable, philanthropic and other purposes" in the right of way of any public street.
20 years ago, 1970: The Student Senate voted unanimously to accept a new constitution for the
SGA. Four major changes were included in the new constitution — a more specific preamble, a larg­er
Student Senate, the transfer of allocation of student activities fees to the Senate and the aboli­tion
of the office of secretary and expansion of treasurer's duties.

Wolff gives misinformation
Editor, The Plainsman:
I must respond to Neil
Wolffs, D.V.M., letter of two
weeks ago regarding Alpha Psi
Rodeo. As a third year veteri­nary
student who is concerned
with animal welfare and has
worked with Roundup for the
past three years, I feel that I
can shed some light on Wolffs
misinformation.
Spurs are not worn by par­ticipants
in Roundup. Contes­tants
are amateurs who are
challenged just to stay on an
800-pound steer, they are not
on the animal long enough to
spur it anyway. Very few steer
rides last past eight seconds.
Bucking straps are not tight­ened
"across the loins and gen­itals."
I have worked in the
bucking chutes putting these
on the bulls.
The straps are placed
around them in the area
humans call our waist. Rig­gings
are tied in loose knots so
that they can fall off or be easi­ly
removed.
Cattle prods are never
applied to the rectum of any
animal at Alpha Psi Rodeo. No
calf roping events from horse­back
are a part of Round Up.
Alpha Psi is composed of stu­dents
who have dedicated at
least seven years toward their
veterinary medical degree. We
are concerned now and in the
future for animal welfare.
Profits from Roundup are
donated to programs directly
benefitting animals.
A little research uncovered
some interesting facts about
Wolff. He is not a member of
the American Veterinary Medi­cal
Association, an organiza­tion
of over 40,000 veterinari­ans.
Wolff is not an Auburn grad­uate
and by his misinformed
letter, I seriously doubt he has
ever attended any Alpha Psi
Roundup. I wonder if he exists
at all or was fabricated to give
credibility to some very
maligned views.

Criticism 'asinine'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Words cannot truly express
the anger and righteous indig­nation
I felt when I read the
asinine letter to the editor
"Rodeo Abuses Animals."
I am just one of many stu­dents
in the Veterinary Col­lege,
but as one of many I am
compelled to speak out on
behalf of a group that has been
so unjustly maligned.
As a group, the sacrifices
made by Veterinary students is
extraordinary. We have
cleaned cages, washed slides,
swept floors and performed
countless other menial tasks
with little or no compensation
in order to gain experience and
expertise in our chosen field.
I cannot readily think of any
other profession where the sac­rifices
required are so great
and the monetary rewards are
so low. Veterinary students are
Roundup 25-year celebration
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to the letter
printed by The Plainsman in
the Feb. 15 issue and penned
by "Name Withheld," I offer a
differing opinion.
I am a member of Alpha Psi
fraternity, a past chairman of
Alpha Psi Roundup and a
member of the College Veteri­nary
Medicine's Class of 1990.
The accusation of veterinari­ans
and veterinary students
alike being incompassionate,
uncaring or abusive toward
animals is totally without
foundation.
I have spent the last four
years in an endeavor to learn
every aspect of animal life, dis­eases
that afflict them and
therapeutics to heal them.
The fact that the writer did
not have the guts to sign his
name to the slanderous accu­sations
made obviously makes
a statement about the credibil­ity
of the writer's views.
Regarding the Alpha Psi
Roundup, to my knowledge no
animal has ever been injured
in any way during any of our
events.
Alpha Psi Roundup has been
a celebrated event on the
Auburn campus for 25 years
and endorsed by most every
fraternity, sorority and inde­pendent
organization on cam­pus.
I encourage those of you who
have enjoyed Roundup over
the years to speak out and not
let the views of so few out­weigh
the views of so many.

Kids see parents' faults
continued from A-3
Lost children are likely to put
up with an abusive relationship
later in life. "They don't think
they're worth more than that
anyway," Danford said.
"All families, healthy or
unhealthy, have these same
dynamics in different extremes.
They're just not as compartmen­talized,
not as tight, in healthy
families," Danford said.
Many key relationships are
formed within college years.
Most children of alcoholics have
trouble with relationships, she
said.
Sarah said, "As far as emo­tional
intimacy, I used to have a
problem getting close to people
and trusting people. Especially
men."
According to Danford, not only
is college a time of relationship
problems, it is also a difficult
time for children of alcoholics to
deal with their family's prob­lems.
"It's a time of transition, and
a time when you become aware
of what other people's families
are like, and it's hard to main­tain
you denial," Danford said.
"Children of alcoholics tend to
believe that other people's fami­lies
are either like theirs or like
the family on Leave it to Beaver,
but they have no idea of what
normal is."
If there is a conflict, Danford
said, they magnify it. "They
think a good relationship has no
conflict, a bad relationship has
conflict."
Conflict with people who
drink is another problem. Pres­sure
to drink alcohol is every­where
in college, both women
said.
Both Katie and Sarah drink
alcohol "occasionally" now. "A lot
less than I used to my freshman
year," Sarah said.
After Sarah started college,
her father began offering her
drinks and watching her to see
if she was "getting a buzz,"
Sarah said. Now he frequently
offers her drinks, she said.
Drugs offer no solutions
continued from A-3
Jack turned to his family for
help. "I thought I was going
crazy," Jack said. Two weeks
later Jack's family asked him
to get counseling, he said.
On Feb. 2, 1987, Jack start­ed
the 12 steps program and
stopped using drugs.
Jack isn't alone in his strug­gle
against drugs.
Bill has been doing drugs for
eight years and is still using
them.
"I first tried drugs at a party
my brother was throwing
when I was 16," Bill said. "My
brother and his friends were
smoking marijuana, and I just
wanted to fit in with the older
crowd.
"It wasn't long before I start­ed
trying other things, and it
wasn't to fit in. I did it because
I liked it.
"Drugs made everything a
party, and I liked parties. If I
had to take a test, I got high. If
I failed the test, I got high
again.
"Doing drugs was the
answer to everything that did­n't
go right for me. It may have
been the wrong answer, but it
was the answer," Bill said.
He said he continued to use
drugs through high school and
into college where his habit
only increased.
"By the time I reached col­lege
my brother and most of
his friends had stopped," Bill
said. "They kept telling me I
had a problem, but I always
felt I could stop when I wanted
to.
"I just didn't want to right
now."

pie die each year from other
people's smoke.
"If you stand in a small
smoke-filled room for one hour,
it's equal to smoking one
cigarette," Koop said.
"We could save more lives by
getting rid of tobacco than by
doing anything else, and yet
it's legal," Dr. P a t Ellis of
Drake Student Health Center
said. N
Cigarette smoke contains
hundreds of chemical sub­stances,
the most dangerous
being nicotine, tar and carbon
monoxide, according to the
American Lung Association.
Nicotine is the physically
addictive chemical in
cigarettes. Physiologically,
cigarettes are just as addictive
as cocaine and heroin, Koop
said.
According to Ellis, "People
become addicted to smoking
for habitual or psychological
reasons just as often as for
physical reasons.
"Some people light up with­out
even realizing it. You can
become addicted rather rapid-ly-"
Jay Evans, 01 GLA, said,
"It's just something to do with
your hands - like chewing
your fingernails. Except chew­ing
your fingernails doesn't kill
you. It j u s t gives you ugly
hands."
Another student, Sean McK-ean,
01 PV, said, "It has a lot
to do with your hands. I hate
to drive. I can't do it without
having a cigarette in my hand.
"It's definitely more psycho­logical
than it is physical. I
could quit smoking. I just don't
want to."
People typically start smok­ing
either in high school or
after going to college, because
it's considered cool because of
peer pressure, Ellis said.
"You smoke when you're
happy and when you're
depressed," she said. "It
becomes your best friend."
LSD flashbacks help
some realize life, fear
continued from A-3
still coming to terms with it.
"It wasn't wholly negative. I
'died,' and it was positive in that
I can now fully cope with death.
I know what to expect," he said.
"We haven't had many recent
clients (with hallucinogen relat­ed
problems), but we'll see more
as the methamphetamines take
hold," he said.
There will be a rise in
methamphetamine use, Berger
said, because of the increasing
accessibility of drugs such as
ice.
Dr. Chester Jenkins of Neu­ropsychiatry
Associates in Ope-lika
said it's hard to isolate the
effects of LSD use because other
factors are usually involved in
each case.
LSD users who have mental
problems don't necessarily have
those problems as a result of the
drug, and often the client has
used other drugs that may con-

tribute to the problem, Jenkins
said.
The most apparent long-term
effect of LSD use, he said, is the
flashback. This is a spontaneous
recurrence of an LSD trip with­out
having reused the drug.
Half of these flashbacks occur
within months of taking LSD.
Others may occur years later,
Jenkins said.
Often a similar problem devel­ops
which resembles a pro­longed
bad trip, he said. This
phenomena may last for days,
weeks or even months.
"The lack of specificity makes
it hard to distinguish between
an LSD flashback and normal
psychosis," he said.
Sam saw LSD as an enlight­ening
experiment, not j u s t a
social pleasure, he said.
"I want to (do LSD again), but
I don't think I ever will again,"
Sam said. "That one experience
was beyond my ability to deal
with it. The possibility of
repeating that outweighs any
enjoyment I could get."
