Auburn has named a Univer­sity
of South Florida vice presi­dent
and Auburn alumnus as
the chief of the Office of Alumni
and Development.
Dr. Joseph F. Busta Jr. will
begin his duties July 1. The
position has been vacant since
last May when executive direc­tor
Jerry Smith resigned amid
controversy that he misused
alumni funds.
"I*m still trying to get a feel
for what opinions people have as
far as what should be done so
that I can hit the ground run­ning
on July 1," Busta said in a
telephone interview Monday.
Busta said his decision to

much about it until recently.
"I don't see it as relevant to
what my job will be and how I
will approach it."
Although Busta's title is dif­ferent
from previous alumni
directors, Busta said his posi­tion
will include similar duties.
"I think it's essentially the
same, but there will be more
strategic planning in terms of
trying to enhance private sup­port."

Thach becomes
first street closed
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
The segment of Thach
Avenue between Duncan Drive
and Cater Hall driveway has
been closed on a trial basis as
part of a proposed plan to
reduce traffic on the main
campus, according to Stanley
Drake, assistant vice presi­dent
for facilities.
"The latest re-examination
of the Auburn University mas­ter
plan indicated that closing
of certain streets within the
academic core of the campus
might be considered toward
making access by students
easier to the academic build­ings
within that core," Drake
said.
"The board of trustees con­tinuously
examines means by
which the Auburn University
campus can be improved and
made more effective towards
meeting its educational mis­sions,"
he said.
"In order to do that, profes­sional
firms are engaged from
time to time to make recom­mendations
concerning modifi­cations
that may be of assis­tance
to achieve those goals. "
The suggestions by the plan­ning
professionals included
closing a number of streets,

according to Drake.
"This is one plan that the
board is looking at. It has not
agreed on a plan as of yet," he
said.
"The board, recognizing that
closing of any street would be
a significant modification to
the campus, wanted to deter­mine
the effect of street clos­ings
preliminary to their mak­ing
a judgment to close a sig­nificant
number of streets,"
Drake said.

A 1969 graduate, Busta held
the office of IFC president, was
a member of Spades and a SGA
senator. Busta received his mas­ter's
degree from the University
of Tennessee and worked there'
as the adviser to fraternities.
"I think as an alumni and one
who feels Auburn gave me a lot,
it is a chance to pay back the
University in a professional
capacity," Busta said.
Busta, who was notified of the
University's decision in early
December, was selected from
more than 50 applicants, Emert
said.
"Dr. Busta was the best quali­fied
of all of the applicants. Dr.
Busta was the No. 1 choice of
everyone, and we're delighted to
have him come to Auburn,"
Emert said.

An Auburn alumnus who
had previously withdrawn
support from the University
because of the controversy sur­rounding
misused alumni
funds has committed to donate
$750,000 to the University.
J. W. Goodwin of Birming­ham
said in a telephone inter­view
Tuesday that he thought
the controversy involving
Jerry Smith was over.
"It looks like the covey of
birds has flown away. It looks
like they're going back to hon­esty
again," he said.
Goodwin's donation will be
used to fund construction of a
horse reproduction laboratory,
he said.
J. Thomas Vaughan, dean of
the College of Veterinary
Medicine said, "It will be a
useful addition to the equine
research station at the north
Auburn unit.
"This facility will allow
Auburn to keep pace with Our
sister Sunbelt institutions,"
Vaughan said.
Goodwin, 85, resigned from
his position on the board of
directors and suspended his
donations to Auburn following
the indictment of Smith by the
Ethics Committee, which was
later dropped.
In a lette r to President
James E. Martin and other
University officials in April,
Goodwin said, 1 cannot serve

Raymond Farfante III, 04
GEH, was killed in a two-car
accident during the Christmas
holidays in Tampa, Fla.
Farfante died at 1:55 a.m.
EST on Dec. 21 when the car he
was driving, a 1959 Buick,
crossed over the center line and
collided head-on with a 1979
Cadillac, according to Trooper
Richard Mechlin of the Florida
Highway Patrol.
One of the three passengers in
Farfante's car, Brent R.
Schlueter, 21, of Tampa, was
also killed, Mechlin said.
The two-car accident occurred
outside Tampa at the intersec­tion
of Highway 31 and
Williams Road, Mechlin said.
The 21-year-old from Tampa,
Fla., was pronounced dead on
the scene, he said.
Farfante, a Beta Theta Phi
brother, is survived by his par­ents,
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
Farfante II.
"He was really well liked. He
had a positive attitude," Beta
Theta Phi President Michael
Puffee said.
Beta Theta Phi brother Chris
Hall, 03 AC, said Farfante was
a mature college student who
loved music. Farfante was a
member of the band Impostor
and wrote his own music, Hall
said.
"He was a great guy. He
always spoke his mind honest­ly,"
he said.
Liz Goss, 02 CEE, who was
friends with Farfante, described
him as unselfish and always
willing to help her with her
English papers.
"He would do anything for
anybody," she said.
Farfante's fraternity is orga­nizing
a scholarship in his mem­ory.

Birth control:
Choosing best
contraception
for protection
Playing the percentages
Liz Armstrong
Staff Writer
Most college students don't
want parenthood. However,
it's a situation that some stu­dents
face unexpectedly.
Last year, Drake Health Center
reported 196 positive pregnancy tests.
There were only three deliveries, Terry
Smith, nurse practioner at Drake,
said.
Abstinence is the only method of
birth control that is 100 percent effec­tive,
but there are many options for
those who do not choose abstinence.
There is periodic abstinence, which
is having sex only at certain times in
the woman's cycle, Smith said. It is
better known as the rhythm method.
"This method may be determined by
the use of calendar, temperature read­ing
or other physical symptoms. If all
three are used together, and the
woman has a normal cycle, the rate of
effectiveness is 82 percent," she said.
This rhythm method is cost-free, has
no side effects and requires one year of
data before it is effective, but it offers
no protection against STDs.
"There are also barrier methods,
which include condoms, diaphragms
and sponges. The condom is the best
all around protection. If it's used with
spermicide it's 97 percent effective,
used without it's 93 percent effective,"
Smith said.
The diaphragm is about 87 percent
effective. A woman must be taught
how to use one, and she must have a
physical exam. It costs about $20 and
lasts about five years. There is also the
cervical cap, which is similar to the
diaphragm, but it can cause trauma to
the cervix.
The sponge is also about 87 percent
effective. It works best in women who
have never had a child. The price is
about $3.50 for three, Smith said.
"Spermicides, such as foams, jellies,
creams, suppositories and tablets are
; about 85-87 percent effective. They are
kind of messy and may cause some
burning. The prices vary," Smith said.
Drake also has a morning after pill
available.
"This is a high dose pill that was
') originally developed for rape victims. It
will not interrupt pregnancy, but it will
help prevent pregnancy," Smith said.
"It is not to be used as a method of

STDs: Danger on campus
Liz Armstrong
Staff Writer
With all the recent publicity
on AIDS, other sexually
transmitted diseases may
have been forgotten.
Ten percent of the women checked
by Drake Health Center have
chlamydia. It is the most common
STD in the United States.
"There are no symptoms. We just
pick it up on routine exams," Terry
Smith, a nurse practitioner at Drake,
said.
Chlamydia has some devastating
effects for men. It may cause an
inflammation of the urethra that, if
untreated, can lead to epididymitis,
an inflammation of the testicles that
can cause sterility.
Each year chlamydia causes more
than half of the cases of epididymitis
in the United States.
In women, the consequences are
more severe. It usually starts as an
infection of the cervix. It can spread
through the uterus and cause infer­tility
and an increased danger of
ectopic pregnancy (gestation not in

the uterus). This condition causes 10
percent of maternal deaths.
Chlamydia may also cause blind­ness,
pelvic inflammatory disease
and pneumonia and conjunctivitis in
newborns.
According to the National Institute
of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
three million Americans suffer seri­ous
consequences of chlamydia each
year.
The test costs $12 at Drake or
about $45 at a doctor's office.
Another STD, condylomata, or gen­ital
warts, has been linked to cervical
cancer in women. There are usually
no symptoms. However, in some
cases, small, hard spots develop three
weeks to three months after expo­sure.
Condylomata may be treated local­ly
with acid or with laser surgery,
Smith said.
Another common STD on Auburn's
campus is gonorrhea.
This disease is usually symptomat­ic,
with a yellow discharge and a foul
odor.
There is also some syphilis on cam­pus.
It is usually an painless open
sore. The sore, or chancre, usually
disappears within a few weeks, but
the disease continues.
Syphilis may cause mental disor­ders,
blindness and death.
Another disease, herpes, is incur­able.
It usually consists of open sores
in the genital area and is caused by a
virus. It can be controlled by medica­tion
but not cured, Smith said. This
disease effects 30 million Americans.
Some symptoms include fever,
headaches, muscle aches, painful or
difficult urination and swollen
glands.

Jennifer has been dating her
boyfriend for two years. They '•
have been having sex for a year
and a half.
They are committed to each other
and have discussed the possibility of;
pregnancy.
According to a questionnaire of 45
Auburn students, 93 percent have
engaged in premarital sex. Twenty of
the students were women and 25 were
men. The survey was done in Jamie
Sinclair's mate selection class.
"Over the years there has been an •
increase in sexual activity in college-age
students," Dr. Anne Harzem, a
licensed clinical psychologist in Opeli-ka,
said. "This may be due to the pill
and changes in attitude."
AIDS has influenced some people to
maintain monogamous relationships.
"Whether or not people have sex
depends upon their value systems," she
said.
Jennifer, 21, based her decision to-have
sex on a combination of her par- •
ents' beliefs and her own beliefs. She •
had planned to wait until marriage but
changed her mind.
"He's the first person I've ever slept,
with," Jennifer said. "It was just right.'
I think it's a natural thing that hap-'
pens between two people that love each'.
other. It reinforces our love."
Chris, 20, and Sara, 19, have been;
dating each other for nine months and \
are sexually active.
"I was brought up believing sex is for
marriage. I still believe that," Sara^
said.
Chris said, "It's hard to stick to those '
values. It's not such a big issue in my !
household. Sex is expected to be for i
marriage. I have my own ethics, and !
that's why I do feel anxiety about it'.
sometimes."
Involvement in a sexually active
relationship can cause emotional and
physical problems, such as STDs,
Harzem said. It can also make a •
breakup more difficult.
"However, if you feel quite comfort­able
about what you do, probably
things will be OK. There are a lot of

Temporary satisfaction
can lead to lifetime con­sequences.
Terry Smith, who works in the
' gynecology department at
Drake Health Center, said she
sees an average of 25 students a
day.
"About 22 (of the daily aver­age)
are currently sexually
5 active," Smith said.
"About 18 say they've changed

ri I,
Anne, 21, has had more than
10 partners.
"It's usually with someone I've
known for quite a while. They
usually are a best friend and
then the relationship turns sex­ual,"
she said.
Anne takes birth control pills
but does not worry about STDs.
"I know the people well that
I'm with. It's not that it's not
possible. I j u s t don't think
they'd do that to me," she said.
Peter, 19, has had more than
25 partners.
"I'll sleep with anyone that's
willing. I love sex. I don't worry
about pregnancy. Usually she's
on the pill. Otherwise, I might
use a condom," he said.
Jamie Sinclair teaches a mate
selection class.
Sex can be a temporary thing, a toy. It may
be a part in figuring out values. It's usually
an experimental stage and eventually slows
down.
- Jamie Sinclair
"College men are under a lot
of pressure to perform and to
prove their masculinity. Stereo­types
are real to men. They
think they're always supposed
to be ready and willing," she
said.
College women may have sex
with multiple partners to fulfill
a need for acceptance or as a
validation that they are in a
worthwhile relationship, said
Sinclair.
"The women may want to feel
accepted, wanted or desirable,"
she said.
Anne said, "I have sex for feel­ings
of closeness and intimacy. I
want to have that intimate part
of a relationship. I also appreci­ate
the physical aspects."
Audrey, 23, views sex as a
sharing not only of physical sat­isfaction,
but also of genuine
caring.
Audrey went through a phase
in which she had sex with five
men during a period of nine
months.
"I was always careful from
pregnancy and disease," she
said.
William, 23, said he had sex
with about a dozen women his
freshman year, but now he
spends his time only with his
girlfriend.
"I want to say that I was
young and stupid, but I was just
having fun and taking risks. I
don't even remember some of
their names. Oh well, they prob­ably
don't remember mine,
either. It was usually just a good
time," William said.
"Sex can be a temporary
thing, a toy," Sinclair said. "It
may be a part in figuring out
values. It's usually an experi­mental
stage and eventually
slows down."
Women that have multiple
partners may have low self-esteem,
Sinclair said.
"They may wonder if they're
lovable or if anybody could real­ly
want them."
"Sex may not make the men
feel satisfied either. It may
make them feel emptiness and
grief," she said.
Anne said that she usually •

Some students returned from
the holidays to find broken
water pipes and drenched
belongings because of freezing
weather.
"We've covered 380 calls,
mainly trailers (since Christmas
Eve)," Gary Hinds of Hinds
Plumbing Company said.
"Many homes don't have ceil­ings.
The whole things have col­lapsed.
It depends on the water
lines. Old pipes break unbeliev­ably,"
Hinds said.
They have been doing a lot of
insurance work as well. A job
can cost from $35 to $800.
Another company, Klein

to 50 calls from students.
"We have been working on six

IFC holds
initiation
banquet
Richard Parker
Staff Writer
The 1990 Auburn Interfra-ternity
Council officers were
sworn in Sunday night at a
banquet at the Pi Kappa Phi
house featuring basketball
coach Tommy Joe Eagles as
guest speaker.
In his speech, Eagles encour­aged
the group to take advan­tage
of present opportunites,
keep their lives in perspective
and not neglect the "little
things" in life.
"If you take care of the little
things first, the big things will
take care of themselves," he
said.
Sean Thomas, who served as
secretary-treasurer in t he
Chapman administration was
elected as president for the
1990 term.
Fraternities often experience
problems because of the "col­lective
failure lo teach the how
and why of the importance of
the fraternity system," Thomas
said.
Thomas also said that values
and ethics are important in the
system as well. "My goal is to
show a positive image of the
fraternity system going into
the '90s," he said.
In reviewing the IFC for
1989, outgoing President
David Chapman praised the
new anti-hazing policy and
said that approximately $6,000
had been raised for the Shug
Jordan-Katherine Cooper
Cater Leukemia Fund.
Chapman also cailed on fra­ternities
to increase service in
the next year.
Awards were presented at
the banquet for hardest work­ing
IFC committee chairman,
rush chairman of the year and
outstanding fraternity presi­dent.
The new IFC officers are
Dan Lovell, administrative
vice president; Brad Gruehn,
rush vice president; and D. W.
Shelton, secretary-treasurer.
Outgoing officers for the
1989 year were David Chap­man,
president; Barry Nicks,
administrative vice president;
and Marc Lincz, rush vice
president.

January 11,1990 The Auburn Plainsman A-5
Siegelman unclear about abortion
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
Attorney General Don Siegel­man
said Monday, "Abortion on
demand or abortion to deter­mine
the sex of a child is wrong.
I think that it sets the wrong
moral standard."
The candidate for the demo­cratic
gubernatorial nomination
said during a question-and-answer
session at the Lee Coun­ty
Democratic Club meeting, "I
don't think the solu£ion to
abortion lies in making a
woman or a doctor a criminal. I
don't think the answer to abor­tion
lies in making abortion
available in some states and
illegal in others."
When asked by Julia Batum,
04GPA, president of the Auburn
chapter of the National Organi­zation
of Women, to be more
specific about the limitations he
would place on abortion, Siegel­man
said, "I feel that abortion to
determine the sex of a child is
wrong." He did not include abor-
Discusses education reform plan
tion on demand in his second
statement.
"The answer to reducing abor­tion
lies in education. It lies in
the teaching of traditional val­ues
in the homes, in religious
institutions and also in teaching
parental skills and responsibili­ties."
Siegelman said, "Many of the
problems that are currently
draining this state's financial
resources are directly linked to
education."
Siegelman proposed a six-point
educational reform plan
during his speech. "To prepare
our children for the 21st centu­ry,
we first have to establish
education as our highest priori­ty,"
he said, "and we must be
willing to pay for it."
Siegelman proposed a two-part
$230 million revenue plan
to pay for the Educational
Reform Plan.
The first part of the revenue
plan proposes a state lottery.
"Some people won't like that,"
Siegelman said.
"Alabamians are already par­ticipating
in lotteries in a major
way. Sixteen of the top 20 Flori­da
lottery outlets are located
across the northern Florida
boarder," he said.
"The outlet that does the most
business is nearest Alabama,"
Siegelman said. "It generates
$85 thousand a week. Thirty-one
other states have a lottery,
and they will make, this year,
$20 billion."
Part two of the revenue plan
calls for "an increase in the tax
assessment ratio on the primar­ily
large, out-of-state timber
interests," he said.
"On average they (the timber-related
industries) pay 59 cents
an acre in Alabama, and right
across the Chattahoochee River
they pay $4.34 an acre for the
same land.
"In Georgia they have five
times the tax, and they have
five times the economic growth
in timber-related industries,"
Siegelman said.
This plan would not include
interests less than 1,000 acres,
he said.
Siegelman's six-point Educa­tional
Reform Plan states that
education must:
•be a function of state govern­ment
•become accountable by elimi­nating
waste
•offer quality instruction in
the classroom
•modernize its curriculum
•meet the needs of dropout
students
•provide an academic envi­ronment
that is safe and drug
free
Siegelman also said he agreed
with Governor Guy Hunt on the
r a t e increase at t h e Emelle
landfill. He also said we needed
childcare and juvenile justice
reform.

County Democratic Club meeting Monday night.

Opelika police receive grant
Alison R. Appich
Staff Writer
The Opelika Police Depart­ment
received a $64,000 grant
from the state on Dec. 8, 1989,
as part of the governor's plan for
stricter traffic law enforcement.
Opelika was targeted to
receive the funds because of its
"relatively high incidence of
alcohol and high-speed related
accidents" for a city of its size,
Paul Sullivan, an Alabama pub­lic
information officer, said.
| The December grant was the
second of four to be given to
Opelika during a period of four
years.
The first grant, allocated 10
months earlier, enabled the
police department to assign offi­cers
more hours to patrol the
streets. The extra hours result­ed
in thousands of additional
contacts with drivers, according
to police Capt. Robert D. Moss
of Opelika.
The numerous contacts are
vital because the citizens wit­ness
the state's commitment to
its goal of decreasing the num­ber
of accidents and fatalities on
Alabama's roads, Moss said.
Drivers will be more cautious
if they are aware of the police's
extra vigilance, he said.
"We're grateful for the grant
because of the extra manpower
it gives us," he said. "We can't
do the job we have to do with
the personnel we have now.
"The program will allow us to
add four more men to the traffic
section of the uniform division."
The grant will be used to pay
66 percent of the extra officers'
salaries. The Opelika Police
Department will pay the
remaining 34 percent, Moss
said.
The use of the state's funds
for the additional hours of police
patrol is overseen by the Alaba­ma
Department of Economics
and Community Affairs.
Auburn begins search
Replacements needed for Hawkins, Hughes

Man killed near East Glenn Avenue
Gretchen P. Skalka
Staff Writer
A 17-year-old Opelika youth
was arrested by Auburn police
last Sunday and charged with
murder in connection with the
shotgun slaying of a Valley man
early the day before, according
to police reports.
The victim, Darcey Yancey, 19,
was riding in a truck with two
other individuals on East Glenn
Avenue when he was shot in the
back of the head, according to
Drew Cooper, a spokesperson for
the Auburn Police Department.
Yancey, who was first taken to
East Alabama Medical Center,
was transferred to the Universi­ty
of Alabama Hospital in Birm­ingham
and died at about 6:45
a.m. Saturday.
A police investigation indicat­ed
that the shooting, which took
place about 1 a.m. Saturday,
resulted from an argument that
began at a downtown Auburn
intersection.
The Opelika youth charged
with murder was moved to the
Lee County Development Cen­ter
and is awaiting a hearing to
determine whether he will be
tried as an adult.
The cases of the two other
individuals in the suspect vehi­cle
will be presented to the
grand jury next month.
The search has begun to find
replacements for two Student
Affairs personnel who stepped
down from their positions last
month.
Herbert Hawkins, associate
vice president for Student
Affairs, announced his
retirement in November and
had his last day of work Dec.
31,1989.
John Hughes, IFC and Tiger
Cub adviser, announced his
resignation in November and
stepped down from his position
on Dec. 22,1989.
Dr. Pat Barnes, vice presi­dent
of Student Affairs, and
Grant Davis, assistant dean of
Student Affairs, said they hope
that both positions will be
filled by March.
Applications for the associ­ate
vice president of Student
Affairs position are being
taken until Jan. 31.
"The search is being confined
to Auburn University," Barnes
said.
The applications will go
directly to Barnes, who will
decide the finalists for the
position.
The duties of the assistant
vice president of Student
Affairs include working with
budgetary and personnel mat­ters
in Barnes' absence.
"The assistant vice president
works in all areas of Student
Affairs," Barnes said. "Howev­er,
the scope of the responsibil­ities
in that position really
depends on the person who
will fill the position.
"We have had a number of
inquiries into the position
since it was announced in the
AU Report."
There have also been
inquiries about the position
left vacant by Hughes, accord­ing
to Davis.
The deadline for applications
for the IFC advisor is Feb. 15.
"We've formed a search com­mittee
that will narrow the
applicants," Davis said.
"After a few finalists are cho­sen,
we will bring them here
and take them on a round of
interviews with various stu­dent
life people around cam­pus,"
he said.
The search committee is led
by Debbie Shaw, coordinator of
student life.
The vacant position of IFC
adviser will be renamed assis­tant
coordinator of Student
Affairs.
"We changed the title along
with a few of the responsibili­ties
of the job," Davis said.
"John was the first full-time
person in that position, and we
are still working on the defini­tion
of the position."
Although there are two key
vacant positions in the Stu­dent
Affairs office, things are
still running smoothly, accord­ing
to Barnes and Davis.
During the interim, Finan­cial
Aid Director Larry Ridge-way
is acting as the assistant
vice president.
Davis will temporarily take
over Hughes' responsibilities
as IFC adviser, and Shaw will
take over the responsibilities
as Tiger Cub adviser.

New offices
anticipated
for groups
Teresa Gaston
News Editor
Foy Union will undergo
asbestos removal and renova­tion
in certain areas as quickly
as possible so that WEGL and
Panhellenic may move into their
new offices, according to Rhett
Riley, vice president for busi­ness
and finance.
The proposed renovations
could cost $350,000. It would
cost between $100,000 and
$120,000 for asbestos removal
alone, Riley said.
Lowell Ledbetter, director of
Foy Union, said he is unaware
of any plans to remove asbestos
from the other parts of Foy
Union.
The money would also be used
to renovate the UPC facilities,
according to Merle Flowers,
chairman of the SGA Budget
and Finance Committee and
member of the Concessions
Board.
The Concessions Board turned
down a request for funding the
renovations in the fall, accord­ing
to Dr. Lewis Slaten, chair­man
of the board.
"The Concessions Board decid­ed
it was not appropriated to
use Concession Board money for
general renovation of buildings,"
Slaten said.
Flowers said that Concession
Board funds are generally used
for office furniture and supplies.
If the board funded these reno­vations,
he said, they would
begin to receive more requests
for such renovation.
Riley said, "I think the Uni­versity
is going to do what it has
to do to make that space avail­able."
Robert French, WEGL station
manager, said the space is need­ed
for studios and room for more
classes to be taught at the sta­tion.
French said he does not know
when WEGL will be able to
move to Foy Union but realizes
it will take some time.
"I'm not terribly surprised it's
taking this amount of time," he
said.
WEGL received $19,000 from
the Budget and Finance Com­mittee
for equipment for the
new facility, Flowers said.
However, the station will not
be able to use the money if it is
not in Foy Union by Oct. 1, the
end of the fiscal year, French
said.
Debbie Shaw, coordinator of
Student Affairs, said it's impor­tant
for Panhellenic to be locat­ed
in the student union.
Flowers said the groups had a
legitimate need for the addition- (

Flu sweeps Auburn
during fall exams
Laura Cox
Staff Writer
More than 1,224 cases of res­piratory
viruses, related to the
flu, have been reported since
last Tuesday, Drake Director of
Administration Charles Boh-mann
said.
Out of the 11,950 students
treated at Drake fall, 4,020 were
treated for respiratory prob­lems,
Bohmann said.
Throughout fall, Drake re­ported
100 cases of flu-like ill­nesses.
The week of final exams
alone, Drake treated 300 cases
of flu, Bohmann said.
"Hopefully, the flu epidemic
has come and gone," Dr. G.W.
Everett of the Drake Student
Health Center said. "January
and February are t he busiest
months at Drake though, whe­ther
it's for flu or not."
This particular flu is extreme­ly
contagious and tends to last
for several days, Everett said.
Some flu symptoms are high
fever, extreme weakness and a
deep cough, he said.
Flu shots are not available at
this time because i t takes two to
four weeks for the medicine to
take effect, according to Everett.
Students with the flu
are unable to
concentrate.
-Dr. G. W. Everett
Instead, Everett said he has
been prescribing an anti-viral
medicine as well as antibiotics
for the more severe cases to
fight the virus.
"Students with the flu are
unable to concentrate and can't
function as a student should,"
Everett said.
Although the flu seems to be
as common as a cold, without
proper treatment it can progress
to more serious infections such
as bronchitis or pneumonia, he
said.
Street shut
for walkers'
protection
continued front A-l
proposed plan include: Mell,
from Thach to Samford; Roo­sevelt,
from College to Don­ahue;
and Samford from Mell
to Donahue, he said.
"That particular section of
Thach Avenue represents
probably the most significant
place where pedestrian and
vehicle conflicts occur was
selected as a trial area to
determine the effect of closing
off a street," Drake said.
Lori St. Clair, 03LAC, said,
"It (the closing of Thach
Avenue) doesn't bother me
because I am a student, and I
have to walk everywhere any­way.
"I don't think it Was wise to '•
paint the street and then close
i t . They wasted a lot of
money." \
Facilities will be doing traf­fic
counts on surrounding
streets, Drake said, and the
trial period should last until
the end of this academic year.

A-8 The Auburn Plainsman January 11,1990
Martin says Auburn has bright future
Martin said state funding
will need to be increased.
Teresa Gaston
News Editor
In this Plainsman interview,
President James E. Martin dis­cusses
the changes in the Uni­versity
and its future.
What has been the most
s i g n i f i c a n t change for
Auburn since you became
president in 1984?
I think the most significant
change is the study that was
done by the faculty and staff
shortly after I arrived with
respect to the administrative
reorganization of the University.
A tremendous amount of
emphasis was placed on ensur­ing
that each of the academic
departments, colleges and
schools was committed to and
involved in the resident instruc­tion
program, the research pro­gram
to generate new knowl­edge
in that particular disci­pline,
as well as in the extension
program to extend the expertise
of the faculty and staff to people
in the state and region.
Are there any other impor­tant
changes you feel have
affected Auburn in the '80s?
Ellen Mullowney
Staff Writer
Richard C. Kunkel will suc­ceed
Jack Blackburn as dean of
the College of Education. His
appointment was effective Jan.
1.
Kunkel comes to Auburn from
Washington, D.C., where for the
last six years he served as exec­utive
director of the National
Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education (NCATE).
The NCATE is the only national
accreditation agency for teacher
education.
Ronald Henry, vice president
for accademic affairs, said, "He
was a strong candidate that had
all the elements Auburn was
looking for. I am delighted that
he accepted our offer."
Kunkel said he came to
Auburn to "get back into direc­tor
work on the college level."
The quality of the incoming
students continues to improve.
The research program in the
University and its contribution
to knowledge has grown signifi­cantly.
In what general areas
would you like to see the
University grow in the '90s?
I think the decade of the '90s
will be more of a program aimed
at improving quality and
improving competitiveness of
our salaries, improving the
library, improving the equip­ment
and the operating funds
for academic departments, those things that go toward
improving the quality of the pro­gram
rather than what might have seen during the
decade of the '80s as growth.
Are there any specific pro­grams
you would like to implemented?
There were several things in
the reorganization of 1984 that I
think should be revisited, such
as the recommendation that if
resources were available, that
we should consider adding a
Department of Statistics.
i, all of
Do you feel funding from
oward the state and other sources
lie pro- will need to be increased in
at we
order to continue the Uni-lg
the versity's growth?
th.
c pro- Yes. In fact, I'm both opti-to
see
uiistic and excited about the
possibility that funding from the
state will be increased, because
ings in I have the feeling that there is a
I that I greater chance now that both
i, such the governor's office and the
that if Legislature are becoming much
3, that more comfortable with the con-iing
a cept of funding higher educa­tion.
Kunkel said he wanted to
return to director work.
After Blackburn was promot­ed
to associate vice president for
academic affairs, Boyd Scebra
and Mark E. Meadows served as
interim deans.
Alumnus
to occupy
head post
continued from A-l
more than 19 years and will
make monthly visits to Auburn
until his final move in July.
"It (Tampa) is a great place,"
he said, "and it was very hard
for me to make the decision to
leave.
Busta did not submit an
application, but was nominated
and asked to consider the posi­tion,
he said.
"It was a very significant
opportunity that most people in
my profession would leap at," he
said.
Professor
examines
situation
continued from A-l
other hand, they don't want
politically embarrassing infor­mation
coming out," he said.
If convicted, Noriega could
face $1.1 million in fines and
145-year prison sentence, he
said.
Goodwin
to donate
$750,000
continued from A-l
lowing criticism that he had
misued alumni funds. He was
later awarded $125,000 in a
settlement from the Alumni
Association.
Goodwin graduated from
Auburn in 1929 with a degree
in engineering. He also served
as the assistant city engineer
for Birmingham before he
formed J. W. Goodwin Engi­neering
Co.
"It's a good school," Goodwin
said. "I love Auburn."

With regret
FOR 96 YEARS The Auburn Plainsman has enjoyed
a reputation of excellence in collegiate journalism
by providing readers with information they could
trust. It has earned t h a t t r u s t of i ts readers by serving the
public with one goal in mind - truth.
In t h e Oct. 26 issue of The Plainsman, it was incorrectly
reported t h a t t h e paper was named Best College Weekly in
the Nation by t h e Society of Professional Journalists' at its
annual convention in Houston, Texas. A former member of
staff, sent to t h e convention as a representative of t h e Uni­versity's
S P J chapter, fabricated t h e award.
The Auburn Plainsman does not advocate such a viola­tion
of journalistic integrity, and t h e editors, advisers and
staff regret t h e error.
Fee fie Foy
THE APPROVAL BY THE UNION BOARD last
spring for t h e allotment of 6,500 square feet of
space for nine different campus organizations was
good news, but eight months later most of t h e renovations
await completion.
The Concessions Board was asked to approve more than
$200,000 for the renovation of t h e Union Building so that
WEGL, Panhellenic and UPC would get more room and
new offices. The cost would i n c l u d e not only the
renovation, but also t h e removal of asbestos.
It is reasonable to expect the Concessions Board to fund
the renovations, but t h e University should write t h e check
for any major construction projects or asbestos removal. It
is t h e duty of t h e U n i v e r s i t y to upkeep t h e campus
buildings - doubtless Foy Union falls into t h i s category.
f Good news../
OH, LET IT BE, let it be.
While we were away enjoying winter break, the
University gave itself a long-awaited Christmas
gift by appointing a new Alumni Association director.
Dr. Joseph F. Busta Jr., a 1969 Auburn graduate who
s e r v e d as vice p r e s i d e n t for alumni affairs at t he
University of South Florida, will take the reigns here as
the new vice president for advancement. Busta has a lot of
work ahead with the the Association's war wounds, and
the healing process will be a tedious job, but it is hoped
the alumni will work with him to bring back the respect
the Association had for so long.
To boot, John Goodwin, t h e wealthy Auburn alumni from
Birmingham who had gotten fed up in the middle of the
alumni controversy and quit giving, has now donated
$750,000 to t h e University.
The University is lucky to have alumni out there t h at
care enough about Auburn to constructively criticize when
it is needed. It is encouraging to see Goodwin again in
good graces with t h e University.
Welcome back, Mr. Goodwin, and good luck, Dr. Busta. It
is good to have you both in t h e Auburn circle again.
BDLL CURRYS DEPARTURE from the University of
Alabama earlier this week was truly a slap in the face to
the ingrates of the Crimson Tide, and we were proud to
see him leave t h e Tide for Kentucky.
Since his arrival in Tuscaloosa several years ago, Curry
has been afflicted with an attitude for which Alabama has
become renowned: "We know Bear Bryant...You ain't no
Bear Bryant."
Some think an Auburn win would have gotten Curry the
respect he deserved all along. No doubt Curry will get that
respect from Kentucky fans who, unlike the Tide, live out
of t h e shadows of a long-gone coach.
f90s force us into Veal world1
Suddenly, the hazy, gray days
of winter quarter are upon us.
Quit daydreaming of snow in
Colorado or the sand in Florida
and concentrate on school and
the 1990s.
And you will think about the
next 10 years considering this
will be the decade when "it"
happens, that formidable ques­tion
we have all answered hun­dreds
of times: What do you
want to be when you grow up?
Now, as a 5-year-old there was
nothing wrong with answering
that you wanted to be a
garbageman because the idea of
hanging off the back of a truck
and picking up other people's
t r a sh seemed fun. But as a
rapidly approaching college
graduate that j u s t won't do
today.
Neither will the teenage fan­tasies
of becoming a profession-

al athlete, considering the past
decade of numerous strikes,
drug problems and the fraud in
the NFL, NBA, ABC, XYZ, etc.
Finally, reality and maturity
have set in and the ambitious
goal of every good child of the
'80s has set: to make money, lots
of cold, green m-o-n-e-y.
But then it seems we children
of the '80s were bashed for being
greedy and materialistic, usual­ly
by those from the peace and
love era of the '60s or the
polyester clad of the 70s.
Yes, we have grown up in a
decade in which most strived to
work on Wall Street instead of
the Peace Corp. These same
people whine that there were no
causes, just desires.
So answering the question,
"What do you want to be when
you grow up?" has all of a sud­den
gotten a little more com­plex.
If you believe the media, we
will all die of AIDS, a drug over­dose
or melt after the ozone
completely disappears. The good
news is that there will be more
jobs out there as the baby
boomers begin to steadily retire
or make mid-career job moves.
There will also be new techno­logical
changes that will make
life easier and medical break­throughs
galore.
In addition, I heard there will
be a shortage of dentists,
though. Is that good news or
bad news?
We will have to start learning
a new language, those that
"grown-up" people use such as
IRS, station wagon, PTA, gray
hair, IRA and coffee break.
Words and phrases such as
keg, homework, road trip and
"Hey, it's Thursday night, let's
go to the Supper Club," will
slowly disappear from the old
vocabulary. The magazine sub­scriptions
to Rolling Stone will
stop and instead you will be
reading TV Guide.
Oh, the joys of adulthood that
will come as the 1990s swing by
and those real world decisions
we don't want to think about, or
at least not decide, are here.
Maybe daydreaming about
snow in Colorado or the sand in
Florida is not so bad an idea
after all.
Make history; don't repeat it
If I were still the idealist I
was in high school, I would be
ecstatic about the way the world
is turning right now.
Panama and Romania have
rid themselves of cruel dictators
(one with some help), and the
wheels of democracy have start­ed
turning.
The wall in Germany is com­ing
down piece by piece, and
Gorbachev is looking more and
more like the savior of the East­ern
Hemisphere.
But, while everyone is excited
about these events, as well they
should be, they shouldn't lose
sight of the past and what it can
teach.
Panama is a good example of
the United States in its role as
champion of democracy. It was a
noble and self-sacrificing ges-

ture, but it also could have been
costly.
(Korea and Vietnam started
as noble and self-sacrificing ges­tures
as well.)
This generation has never had
first-hand experience with war,
so its perception of a conflict
such as Panama is based mostly
on television and movies.
Rambo would have been in and
out of Panama City in an hour,
with Noriega in tow.
A closer look at past conflicts
like this might bring a better
realization of exactly what that
sort of action could entail.
A closer look at past relations
with the Soviet Union might
also bring a better realization of
what the United States can
expect from them.
I want to believe in perestroi-ka
and glasnost like everyone
else, but it will take more than a
year or two to erase four
decades.
There's already talk of remov­ing
U.S. troops from Western
Europe and reuniting Germany.
Those things in themselves
would be a major step to world
peace, but is it time yet?
Reuniting Germany sounds
good on paper, but it's going to
take a long time and a lot of
effort to actually do it. And after
the first half of this century, is it
really that good of an idea?
Removing American troops
from Western Europe sounds
good, too, but...
- I can understand wanting to
trust someone, especially in the
hope of achieving peace, but so
much so that national security
is at risk?
The world has been moving in
a positive direction, and I des­perately
hope that continues.
However, drastic measures
that concern the safety of a
nation should be postponed
until absolute proof of sincerity
is obtained.
The past should be considered
carefully because there's no rea­son
nor room to repeat stupid
mistakes.
Hey Day: Save it for strangers
I knew a guy named Mike
Davis. When he saw sorority
sisters greet each other, he'd
flap his student I.D. card across
his fingers and mumble, "Plas­tic."
Mike listened to the Dead
Kennedys, smoked a pipe, had
hair that hung over his shoul­ders
and eyebrows, played the
bass guitar and voted for Jack
Kemp.
With the exception of political
affiliations, Mike was no more
of an "individual" than anyone
else who tries to fit into groups.
It's hard to be an "individual"
when you're struggling like mad
to be different. This is called
conformity to non-conformity.
He tried to find that non-con­formity
niche in rock band
attempts, classroom arguments
and even campus organizations.
Mike had all the answers, but
there was always something
missing for him. I know people
who'd say it was Jesus.
"The boy just needed our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ, in his
Chris
Smith
Assistant
Copy Editor
heart." Well, Mike tried that,
and it only made him bitter
toward the church. I hate to
admit it, but there are some
people for whom the church can­not
supply answers.
After an emotional free movie
one night, Mike took a walk and
came back shattered with tears.
He had reached the conclusion
that nobody cared, and it both­ered
the hell out of him.
I didn't know what to say.
How can you comfort someone
who's beginning to face reality?
Most people really don't care (to
disagree is simple naivete) and
when a person accepts that, he
begins searching for those who
do.
I told him that I cared, and I
think he made some joking
remark like, "Some consolation."
What bothered him was the
masses. He wanted a caring
world, and the impossibility of
the idea was hitting him like a
bag of dirty laundry.
A few weeks later, he found
the extreme (Mike detested
moderation) and began quoting
Machiavelli. Our arguments
became almost unbearable.
At the end of his freshman
year, Mike gave up on the social
conservatism he'd tried to tread
through at Auburn and joined
the Army. I guess the forced and
uniform conformity mixed with
military political conservatism
attracted him somehow.
He came back to Auburn one
year later, late April of 1989, to
pay a final visit. I found out in
May that Mike had gone
A.W.O.L. after his fiance left
him.
He gave some story about a
terminal disease which was con­vincing
enough to keep people
from questioning his actions
while he was in town. Mike died
in a car wreck in Texas less
than a week later.
The wreck may have been an
accident, and he didn't leave a
note, but his actions and atti­tude
while visiting Auburn led
many to believe, in retrospect,
that it was no accident.
It's tempting to brood on guilt
and blame, but if he did commit
suicide, the choice was his. Per­sonally,
I think it's a cop out. If
life was supposed to be easy,
we'd all be born without hor­mones.
What's my point then?
The point is that Mike saw
life as one perpetual Hey Day.
No, we shouldn't live our lives
paranoid that our friends are
suicidal, but it'd be nice to
remember how easily hurt we
all are. The hurt you feel isn't
any worse than the hurt you can
cause.
Let's save the Hey Day atti­tude
for strangers, and start
finding out what real friendship
means.

Dean: Phonathon success
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing to clarify an
article published in The
Plainsman just before the holi­days
regarding the Annual
Giving Campaign of the Col­lege
of Liberal Arts Phon­athon.
Walton planned and coordi­nated
the entire event and was
assisted by Bruce Blake from
our office to the extent that
she helped to recruit students
to do the calling.
We feel that our phonathon
was particularly successful
because of the fine efforts of
our own students and of Blake,
who devoted a significant
amount of time and effort to
ensuring that our work was
done properly.
The College of Liberal Arts
owes a great debt of thanks to
the Alumni and Development
Office for helping us to make
our first-ever Annual Giving
Campaign a success.

AUPD using excessive force
Editor, The Plainsman:
What happens when you put
together several enthusiastic
students and a multitude of
overzealous police officers?
You get the AU-UA post-game
show!
I was totally shocked by the
conduct of many of the officers
on the field after the game.
We are taught as children to
obey and respect these same
men that we see after the
game using excessive force on
college students.
I realize that just because
they are students doesn't make
them any easier to handle
than anyone else. And, I am
by no means condoning the
conduct of the students that
attempted to enter the field.
They were breaking the law
and should have been arrested.
What I am dismayed about is
the manner in which these stu­dents
were arrested. One par­ticular
instance comes to mind.
A student stood on the field
watching two of his friends
being wrestled to the ground.
He was just inside the fence,
not wanting to go onto the
field.
A security guard came up,
took him by the arm and
opened the fence, about to
push the student back into the
crowd. At this point, two
policemen rushed up and
grabbed the student, dragging
him back onto the field.
They threw him onto the
ground, one grabbed his hair,
and then three more officers
came over to pile on the stu­dent.
All of this for a student
who did not appear to be
resisting the officers.
It was at this point that the
approximately 14,500 people
in the student section began
booing and throwing things.
I realize that these men are
laying their lives on the line
every day to protect us. I can
also imagine the adrenaline
rush that an officer must feel
knowing that he is the only
thing that stands between the
fans and the field. But five
policemen on one passive stu­dent
is excessive beyond belief!
You have only to turn to
WEGL's phone-in show or
open The Plainsman to hear or
read about officers using exces­sive
force or in one instance,
pulling their gun because a
student gave them an obscene
gesture.
While these stories will prob­ably
never be verified, they are
becoming all too commonplace
on Auburn's campus.
And so, this letter will prob­ably
go unheeded like all of the
other's similar to it. And the
complaints about campus
police will remain unheard
until someone — either an offi­cer,
a student, or an innocent
bystander — gets hurt.

Class of '89
'80s: America gains conscience
[i In the past two weeks, news­papers
and magazines have
bombarded the public with
reviews of the '80s. For the most
part, these have painted the
decade as one of greed, corrup-
> tion and materialism.
However, the '80s did have
many redeeming characteristics,
and in many ways America
seemed to come away with a
raised level of consciousness.
The Vietnam War: This was,
perhaps, the most striking
example of this new-found con­sciousness.
Many Memorial Days
throughout the decade have
been dedicated to the Vietnam
veteran; movies have depicted,
as close as that type of medium
can, what Vietnam was like for
the soldier; and, most impor­tantly,
the Vietnam veterans
finally got the recognition they
deserved with the dedication of
, the Vietnam veteran's memorial
in Washington D.C.
Drugs: One of the wounds
that America received from the
'60s was drug abuse, and that
seemed to show some signs of
j healing.
The No. 1 threat to America,
as perceived by the public, shift­ed
from communism (largely
because of glasnost) to narcotics.
The government has respond­ed
with George Bush's war on
drugs. Whether this will be suc­cessful
remains to be seen, but
it does indicate a growing intol­erance
to drugs, which is
already showing its effects.
Alcoholism: Another form of
drug abuse, this took a down­ward
turn.
A person today would be hard
pressed to find the "lovable
drunk" on TV. However, it was
commonplace on series of the
'60s and '70s.
In 1980, most people thought
MADD was an emotion, but
today it is one of the most pow­erful
special interest groups in
existence with other groups
such as SADD following on their
coattails.
Even beer companies have
gotten into the act with com­mercials
urging us to drink
responsibly.
The Environment: Environ­mental
issues have also come to
the forefront, building on
momentum gained in the '70s
and the discovery of what our
lifestyle is doing to the earth.
No event brought this subject
to the general public's attention
more than the summer of 1988.
That year, billed as the year the
earth struck back, saw record
heat, droughts that brought
back images of the Dust Bowl
and wildfires putting our most
treasured national park, Yellow­stone,
in jeopardy.
Also keeping the environment
at the forefront of issues was
the Alaskan oil spill in Prince
William Sound. Millions of peo­ple
expressed outrage about the
soiling of a place that a day
before they had not even known
existed.
Relief Efforts: The entertain­ment
industry did its part in
raising America's consciousness
with concerts, songs and comedy
specials raising money for such
causes as drought relief in
Ethiopia, aid for small farms
and help for the homeless.
In a decade that brought us
the Iran-Contra Affair, Monkey
Business, Jim and Tammy and
Wheel of Fortune, all was not
bad.
Glance back
5 years ago, 1985: A public hearing was scheduled at the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board's
Central Office in Montgomery on proposed regulations to identify "happy hour" in Alabama. The
proposed regulations allowed reduced prices during happy hour, but prohibited more than one drink
being sold at one time to one person.
10 years ago, 1980: Auburn City Council heard arguments on a controversial ordinance calling
for the rezoning of Glendean Shopping Center to permit location of a state liquor store. With the
lease running out on the state-run store in Opelika, Alcoholic Beverage Control Board officials pro­posed
the relocation.
20 years ago, 1970: The Student Senate unanimously passed a resolution that the University
Senate reevaluate the final examination policy, which allowed instructors to give quizzes on the last
two days of class and established new guidelines for preparation of exam schedules.

B&F requests due Feb. 12
Editor, The Plainsman:
At the first of this year
comes the time that all stu­dent-
funded organizations
begin preparing their budgets
for the 1990-91 fiscal year.
These proposals are to be
reviewed by the SGA Budget
and Finance Committee and
funded according to need.
The money for these student
organizations — the Glomerata,
WEGL-FM, The Tiger Cub,
The Circle, Performing Arts,
Recreational Services, SGA
and UPC - comes from a $9.50
student activity fee included in
each student's quarterly
tuition.
Over the years, the greatest
challenge has been determin­ing
which organizations have
effectively used the money
issued them and how they
might justify an increase in
funding.
Realistically, there is a very
limited amount of funds to
allocate and an extremely
large demand for these.
We want to fairly distribute
each dollar; in an effort to do
just this, B & F Committee
members are currently re­searching
each activity as to
its past projects, fee usage and
its projections for the future.
Any chartered organization
wishing to request money from
the student activity fees may
obtain an application in Cater
Hall.
All applications for requests
must be turned in to the office
of Student Affairs no later
than Feb. 12 and will run
through Feb. 28.
If you have any questions
concerning B & F policies or
procedures, please call me at
the SGA office (844-4240) or
call Grant Davis at Cater Hall
(844-4710).
Merle G. Flowers
B&F Committee Chairman
Tenure should be cherished
Editor, The Plainsman:
It was with considerable dis­may
that I read the letter by
Robert B. Ekelund, the Lowder
Eminent Scholar in Eco­nomics,
in the Nov. 30 issue of
The Plainsman.
Ekelund's letter was a
valiant, yet rather superficial
attempt to "correct" the falla­cies
in the public statements
Miller Solomon, president of
the general faculty at Auburn
University, in reference to cri­teria
which ought to govern
decisions on faculty salaries.
Quite apart from the ques­tion
of whether Ekelund's
ideas on the efficiency of mar­ket
allocations are "correct,"
this reader could not help but
be impressed with the fervor
and tenacity with which
Ekelund defended what has
long been the Orthodox School
of Economic Thought at
Auburn University.
One thinks of a University
as a place where creativity and
imagination flourish in great
abundance, where major schol­ars
are sometimes disposed to
challenge conventional wisdom
by coming up with fresh
insights to persistent prob­lems.
Auburn's Narrow orthodoxy
is fine with most faculty mem­bers,
and in any case, no one
has overchallenged it in the
College of Business.
Even more dismaying is
Ekelund's complete lack of
understanding of the purpose
of tenure at universities. He
seems to believe that tenure is
simply a useless and ineffi­cient
compromise of market
principles in the hiring and fir­ing
of faculty members.
Ekelund fails to see the his­toric
role tenure has played in
making American universities
strong bastions of academic
freedom for the entire range of
human philosophies and value
systems.
He does not seem to compre­hend
that the freedom to think
and write in an unorthodox
fashion, to espouse novel or
unpopular ideas, to pursue
research in new or uncharted
directions would long ago have
disappeared without the indis­pensable
protection tenure
affords to faculty members.
Ekelund writes that, "For
every case of 'free speech' pro­tection
that tenure assures,
hundreds of unproductive fac­ulty
are retained in American
universities."
That may be true, though
my experience leads me to
doubt it. What Ekelund fails to
understand is that it is the one
case of free speech abrogation
which really matters.
The academic freedom which
tenure protects is a cherished,
valuable and enormously frag­ile
thing. It is precisely what
distinguishes American uni­versities
from those in the
Soviet Union or China.
I would opt in any case for
our historic freedom to advo­cate
all possible points of view
with tenure, rather than a
market system which dictates
acceptable research agendas
and effectively stifles unpopu­lar
ideas.
One might have hoped that
an Eminent Scholar would
grasp the purpose of tenure at
universities better than
Ekelund.
Many faculty hoped for some
sign of fresh new thinking or
creativity when the Lowder
appointment was made. Ap­parently,
we shall have to wait
till next time.

if pregnancy is unwanted,"
Smith said.
Some ineffective methods
include douching, which can
sometimes increase pregnancy
by helping the sperm to swim
faster, and withdrawal, which
may not be effective because the
man may not withdraw in time
or some sperm may be released
before ejaculation.
Also, intercourse during men­struation
and improper use of
contraception can result in preg­nancy.
Partners may risk

"I have no qualms about it.
It's legitimate sex. I've maybe
had regrets about one or two
of my partners, but otherwise
it was fine," she said.
Peter said he felt guilt only
once.
"This one girl used to come
over in the middle of the night.
We didn't have a relationship,
but she thought we did. I did­n't
mind," he said. "I'd be
asleep and she'd wake me up
and want to have sex.
"One night, she came over
and someone else was in my
bed. I felt guilty because she
kept calling me late at night
and telling me how lonely she
was."
"I'm choosy enough not to
pick someone with a disease.
I'm lucky enough to have
never gotten anyone pregnant.
So far so good. I'm going to
keep on living in my lifestyle."
Smith said that many
patients who come to Drake
are involved in monogamous
relationships.
"It doesn't hold as important
a place as it should. An
unwanted pregnancy or STD
can change your life...all for
immediate pleasure."
Audrey said she went to bed
with some men just for sex
and with some men to combine
sex with friendship.
"Now I'm in a relationship in
which there is love. We also
have the most fun sex. I will
never change my lifestyle to
suit a man. Only when I get
married will I make the appro­priate
changes," she said.
William said, "I was so
lucky. Never again will I risk
getting someone pregnant that
I could care less about or risk
picking up some disease from
someone for a few minutes of
intercourse."

value system," she said.
"If you can keep a balance
with a lot of other things, and
reconcile the way you feel, your
relationship has a good chance,"
Harzem said.
Sara said that it's going
against some of her religious
beliefs, but she has accepted her
decision to have sex.
"We can't always do what's
expected of us," she said. "Some­times
we have to let loose and
do what we want.
"I felt tremendous guilt after
the newness of sex wore off. But
I feel like I've come to terms
with it and as long as our rela­tionship
continues to flourish, so
will our sex life."
Jennifer said, "We're stable in
our relationship and in our sex
life. We talk about everything,
and sex is included. It's brought
us closer together."

Staff Writers
Lech Walesa, abortion, Ronald
Reagan, Contras, the Falklands,
Oliver North, Daniel Ortega,
Grenada, Jose Duarte, Mikhail
Gorbachev and President P.W.
Botha of South Africa were
among the many captivating fig­ures
and themes that ruled the
'80s.
Ronald Reagan dominated the
political scene beginning with
the immediate release of the
hostages from Iran. They
returned to the sight of thou­sands
of yellow ribbons.
He slashed spending and taxes
in an effort to reduce rising
inflation. Reaganomics and Star
Wars were a constant thorn in
the side of the Democratic
Congress, but Reagan's budgets
were passed.
Reagan backed Margaret
Thatcher in the war with
Argentina over the Falkland
Islands, invaded Grenada and
sent the Marines to Lebanon.
He was accused of selling
arms to the Contras, Nicaragua
and El Salvador in the effort to
contain communism.
John Hinckley Jr. shot Reagan
to prove his love for actress
Jodie Foster. He was acquitted
by reason of insanity on 13
assault, murder and weapons
counts.
Matt Smith, former Plainsman
news editor, summed it up best.
"People say John Hinckley Jr.
was insane, but what is so
insane about wanting to sleep
with Jodie Foster and shoot
Ronald Reagan?"
Soviet leader Mikhail Gor­bachev
met with Reagan and
signed the first treaty to elimi­nate
an entire category of nucle­ar
weapons.
He then turned his attention
to Eastern Europe, paying his
first state visit to Poland, where
he presided over a Warsaw Pact
military alliance summit.
Poland had difficulties
throughout the decade.
They began when 300,000
workers went on strike because
of food shortages. The solidarity
party was devastated when the
government imprisoned Lech
Walesa and declared martial
law.
The situation was slowly
resolved to Soviet satisfaction
and order restored.
Constant turmoil plagued the
Middle East. The Iran-Iraq-
Israeli-Lebanon wars represent­ed
a continuing battle over the
Palestine Liberation Organiza­tion
and Jerusalem.
The United States became
involved to protect U.S. inter­ests.
A truck carrying explosives
plowed into the U.S. embassy
killing 57 people in 1983. In
1984, a car bomb killed seven at
an American outpost in
Lebanon.
Our decision to get involved
was probably not a healthy one.
In 1987, Americans were
taken hostage in Beirut. There
were many threats of hostage
execution through the years, and
scant hope for their freedom.
Lebanese terrorist Mohammed
Ali Hammadi confessed to the
hijacking of a TWA Boeing 727,
in which four passengers were
killed.
Pakistani terrorists hijacked a
Pan Am jet as passengers were
boarding in Pakistan and went
on a shooting spree. More than a
dozen passengers died.
The Libyan government also
played a significant role in this
decade of terrorism.
Libyan leader Moammar
Gaddafi (that name of multiple
spelling) planned over 40 assas­sination
attempts on Reagan,
and launched attacks on a U.S.

Assistant Village Life Editor
"Pick up the receiver, I'll
make you a believer." — Depeche
Mode
My, my what a rarity it was to
hear the words "believe" and
"repent" in the past year with­out
"operators are standing by"
closely following.
Yes, the cup of America's
beloved boob tube ranneth over
with the iniquities of every reli­gious
Tom, Dick and Harry. Or
perhaps more appropriately
Jimmy, Jim and Tammy.
The televangelists of the '80s
brought doctrine to the dinner
table and made spiritual fulfill­ment
as financially fuss-free as
picking up the phone and
tithing the AT&T way.
J im and Tammy Faye
Bakker's mult-million dollar
faith farce entitled "PTL" (an
anagram for "Praise The Lord,"
contrary to the common belief of
"Pass The Loot") turned every­day
sinners into a convenient
salary boos^ by way of humble
pleas and cries for funds.
Charged with 24 counts of
fraud and conspiracy, the televi­sion
ministry was taken to
court, where the nation learned
of the Bakker's air-conditioned
doghouse, watched Tammy
Faye's mascara run and writhed
in the smut of their salvation.
During the proceedings,
Bakker was supposedly under
such mental anxiety and stress
that he suffered from hallucina­tions
and at one point was found
hiding beneath his psychiatrist's
couch.
After failing to show up for
court one day because of these
ailments (that closely resembled
a bad LSD trip), the trial was
put on hold While Bakker under­went
testing at a mental hospi­tal
in North Carolina.
Deemed mentally sane,
Bakker didn't luck out on that
attempt of dodging judgment.
I've always wondered what he
saw while hallucinating - per­haps
the psychedelic undertones
of Tammy Faye's makeup
design?
Not only was Bakker the
anguished and stricken one, but
one witness in the trial col­lapsed
(most definitely for flat-out
fervent fatigue).
In addition to Bakker's men­tal
anxieties, he also pulled a

B-2 The Auburn Plainsman January 11,1990
Decade proved U.S. military strength
continued from B-l
cruise ship while in internation­al
waters.
In a high-tech firepower
demonstration, the Navy crossed
Gaddafi's "line of death" and
sunk Libyan patrol boats. For
most Americans, smiting
Gaddafi felt good, but would it
mean less terrorism - or more?
With a mere 11 minutes notice
from Reagan, America escalated
i t s war on Libyan terrorism
when the military bombed
Gaddafi's headquarters.
Apartheid was a powerful
theme in the United States dur­ing
the '80s.
South Africa was a segregated,
white-dominated society that
fought against the freedom of
the majority.
Botha signed an agreement
giving blacks and Indians a seat
in the new tricameral legislature
in 1984.
This, however, was one of the
few positive aspects of the crisis
in South Africa.
Black and white violence grew
in South Africa as the country
continued its state of unrest.
Violence and turmoil infested
the streets as police and soldiers
brutally smashed an effort by
anti-apartheid forces to hold a
mass protest march. The South
African death toll that year was
about 700.
The Reagan Administration
held secret talks with Iran in
hopes of having influence on a
post-Khomeni government and
freeing American hostages held
in Lebanon.
National Security Council offi­cials
were meeting with Tehran
leaders for more than a year. -
Lt. Col. Oliver North was
accused of selling arms from
Iran to the Contras. North was
blamed for the illegal agree­ments
made between Iran and
the Contras while merely work­ing
as the middleman and fol­lowing
orders.
The Reagan Administration
held secret talks with Iran in
hopes of having influence on a
post-Khomeni government and
freeing American hostages held
in Lebanon.
National Security Council offi­cials
were meeting with Tehran
leaders for more than a year.
The war between democracy
and communism was fought in
Central America.
The U.S. government suffered
a loss in 1984, as the Sandin­i
s t a s came to power in
Nicaragua through the election
of Daniel Ortega.
Reagan strongly supported
aid to the Nicaraguan rebels
and finally convinced Congress
to grant $100 million to t he
Central American effort.
El Salvador was also a war
zone. Democracy won a partial
victory there with the election of
the Christian Democratic Party
and the appointment of Alvara
Alfredo Magana.
His election led to more aid
for the U.S. backed troops in
Central America.
Last month's capture of Norie­ga
to stand trial for drug traf­ficking
charges demonstrates
U.S. power in Central America
and the firm stance it is com­mitted
to.
Another country the U. S. was
involved with was the Philip­pines.
The decade began on a good
note with the lifting of martial
law by President Marcos. But
the murder of Beningo Aquino
by Marcos' army solidified the
irrevocable decline of the gov­ernment.
The coup that placed Corazon
Aquino in the head position left
a shaky government, and Mar­cos'
death helped insure her
position as President of the
Philippines.
Pro-lifers and Pro-choicers
battled over the abortion issue
facing the Supreme Court.
Most of us grew up in the
"80s. The decade that was char­acterized
by petty wars. Hope­fully
we won't be to affected by
them.
Evangelists pursued ladies of night
continued from B-l
physical psycho favorite...that
good ol' fetal position.
Found guilty and sentenced to
45 years in prison, Bakker will
be preaching from the seldom-coveted
penal pulpit.
Bakker also had a run-in with
"earthly desires" via Jessica
Hahn and one discreet evening
of pleasure.
Why, any man married to
Tammy Faye would need an
occasional release of pent-up
sexual frustration (or degrada­tion,
perhaps), but of all t he
women within the immoral
grasp, he could have at least
been somewhat more selective. r
This wasn't the only instance
of "man of the cloth meets
woman of the night," though.
Jimmy Swaggart, a televange-list
whose "lusts of the flesh"
drove him to partake in a hotel
room rendezvous with a signifi­cant
other, was publicly stripped
to the Biblical bone over his
wrongful fornication.
Multitudes of worshipers were
shamed, but still laughed
inwardly at the thought of
Swaggart nude.
Infamous TV evangelists such
as the gifted healer Earnest
Angsley ("say Bay-Bee!") or the
emphatic David Soul (no, not
the actor of Starsky and Hutch
fame) didn't share in the lime­light
o' sin, but proved just as
entertaining.

The typical Angsley telecast
includes a riveting healing ses­sion,
where Earnest's hands of
power cast demons out of deaf
ears, free the common man from
Satan's grasp and even get rid
of nasty headaches.
With the innocent face of a
child, Angsley can pierce the
heart of any run-of-the-mill
believer and stir up the desire to
give, give, give.
Soul just yells scriptures into
a Mr. Microphone and sweats a
lot. He satisfies the 3 a.m. cable
TV slot quite well and gives an
unprecedented convention feel
to church by touring the Holiday
Inn circuit.
With the draped royal blue
curtains and Tama drum set in
the back drop, Soul is the pre­mier
instigator of sanctuary
ambiance.
Through the airwaves, tele-vangelism
sought the souls and
wallets of viewers everywhere.
America's religiously afflicted
were preyed upon while pray­ing,
and every tear shed by
these bloodthirsty men of the
faith brought in a couple thou­sand
green ones.
If you listen closely inside the
walls of t h e vacated Bakker
mansion, I'll bet you can hear
Bakker clawing at his cell and
moaning for forgiveness.
Sorry, Jimbo. You should
know by now...'tis better to give
than to receive.

In the decade of the '80s, peo­ple
around the world not only
reached deep into their hearts
and souls, they reached deep
into their pockets.
They responded to a desperate
cry for help. The United States
and more than 150 other coun­tries
joined hands in an effort to
end the devastating hunger that
swept Africa in the wake of
searing droughts.
It all started with an Irish­man
named Bob Geldof.
With the help of his long-time
friend, Midge Ure (Ultravox),
and associates Bill Graham,
Michael Mitchell and Kevin
Jenden, Geldof accomplished his
dream of fighting hunger with
the biggest concert ever.
Op June 13, 1985, people all
over the world witnessed the
biggest rock 'n' roll concert in
history: a 17-hour battle of 63
bands reaching 1.5 billion peo­ple
in 150 countries.
The Band Aid/Live
