The Opelika school board,
following the suggestion of the
state school board attorney,
banned all acrobatics and
gymnastics in cheerleading
activities.
The decision comes after a
cheerleader from Mobile Coun­ty
sued the Mobile school
board after sustaining a life-altering
injury while cheer-leading.
The cheerleaders will need
to be moved to the athletic
department where they will be
covered by the same catas­trophic
insurance that covers
other sports.

Alumni, administrators meet together
By Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
Auburn alumni and adminis­trators
met June 8 in Birming­ham
in an attempt to achieve
better cooperation between
administrators and alumni, said
Jim Beckham, president of the
Jefferson County Auburn Club.
A statement published by all
the groups involved said, "We
met today as Auburn people.
"We have pledged to work
together in the future for the
good of Auburn. We know that
Auburn needs us now and we
will respond to her needs.
Auburn is a great University.
We intend to keep it that way."
The meeting Included officers
from Auburn clubs in Mobile,
Montgomery and Birmingham.
Also present at the meeting
were President James Martin
and Trustees Emory Cunning­ham,
Mike McCartney and Mor­ris
Savage. Batey Gresham,
Auburn national alumni presi­dent,
was there as well.
"I think we gained a better
understanding of the concerns
that the various organizations
have," Martin said.
Beckham said that no faculty
members were invited to the
meeting as far as he knew.
"I think if they are going to
criticize the faculty, I think they
should invite us to attend," said
Miller Solomon, chairman of the
University Senate.
"I never received a copy of the
resolution either. So certainly I
think that if they really wish a
meaningful dialogue they
should be willing to undertake
it, and they have not done so,
they have not contacted me to
this moment," Solomon said.
The accusations made in the
Jefferson County Auburn Club's
resolution, which was released
about June 1, were touched on
only briefly, Beckham said.
Those accusations included
mishandling of the Jerry Smith
situation by the administration
and the board of trustees, as
well as Interference by the Uni­versity
Senate.
The main issue discussed was
the selection of a new executive
director for the Alumni Associa­tion,
he said. According to
Beckham, the alumni groups
expressed their desire to have
input towards the selection.
Solomon stated that he would
have attempted to clarify the
actions of the University Senate
in the Jerry Smith saga If he
had been invited.
"I would have said that the
University Senate had nothing
to do with running a good man
off, as they phrased it," he said.
"And the onty formal connec­tion
between the University
Senate and the Alumni and
Development Office in this affair
was for the rules committee of
the University Senate to meet in
early J a n u a r y with the full
board of directors of the alumni
association to discuss these
matters.
"We met with them at the
explicit request of the executive
director, Jerry Smith, and the
Alumni Association President,
Batey Gresham," Solomon said.
"At that meeting, Mr. Smith and
the Association attorney were
present. Other than that, the
University Senate has had no
formal part in anything that has
happened."
Solomon also expressed con­cern
that the University Senate
was being unfairly accused of
running Jerry Smith out of
office and attacking athletics.
"I am very distressed that
somehow the faculty leadership
has been placed In the role of
hounding a good man out of
office," Solomon said. 'There is
simply no truth to that.
'There's also been some fool­ishness
perpetuated about how
lurking behind this is some
attack on Auburn athletics.
That's totally crazy.
"But as long as these allega­tions
are made irresponsibly
and at random, there is no way
to deal with them," Solomon
said. "And I think that the kind
of resolution that Jefferson
County (Auburn Club) put out
without any consultation at all
with the people that are being
attacked in it is unwise."

Graduating
seniors get
racist book
By Matt Smith
News Editor
Several senior ROTC students
received an unexpected gift last
quarter — The Dispossessed
Majority, a 600-page white
supremacist book.
A letter accompanying the
book warned white students,
"...our civilization and your
future are being destroyed by
an assortment of enemies
University Senate Chairman
Miller Solomon said Tuesday
that the organization will not
formally respond to a recent
public backlash by many
alumni against its role in the
Alumni Association controversy,
including a 25,000 piece bulk
mailing from the Alumni
Association office Itself.
Solomon said a group calling
themselves "Alumni Against
Duplicity" conducted a May 16
mass mailing of a 31-page
pamphlet, accusing the faculty
of improperly intervening in the
alumni affair, to more than
25,000 alumni nationwide.
The pamphlets were mailed
from the University mailroom,
and postage was paid by the
Alumni Association, he said.
Alumni Against Duplicity is
an organization formed by 1949
alumnus Fred Carley of
Niceville, Fla., to support
Alumni Association Executive
Director Jerry Smith during the
seven-month affair that ended
with his resignation on May 8.
"It looks like we're In the
unfortunate position of having
the Alumni and Development
Office staff Involved in mailing
out materials through the
University mall that are
attacking the administration,
the board of trustees and the
faculty," Solomon said.
The pamphlet's cover letter,
dated May 2, accused a group of
unnamed faculty, trustees and
administrators it called the
"Philpott Mafia" - a reference to
President Emeritus Harry M.
Philpott - of using "malicious
distortions" to remove Smith
and "attack those who are
advocates of a strong alumni
influence In school affairs and
an athletic program of which we
can be proud."
The letter also accused
Solomon and former Senate
Chairman Ben Fitzpatrick of
being "ringleaders" in the
controversy that unseated
See SENATE, page 12
including minority racists,
Marxists and well-meaning but
misled members of the majori­ty."
The letter is signed by Mark
Weber, a spokesman for an
organization calling itself
"American Renaissance." Its
return address is a Nebraska
post office box.
Joe Roy, an investigator for
the Southern Poverty Law
Center's Klanwatch Institute in
Montgomery, said Tuesday his
organization could find no infor­mation

Auburn adopts Adopt-A-Mile

Council clears EMS plan
By Ken Klrksey
Staff Writer
The Auburn City Council
Tuesday night authorized Mayor
Jan Dempsey to sign a contract
consolidating the city's Emer­gency
Medical Service with East
Alabama Medical Center's
Emergency Transport Service,
while retaining city EMS
employees' current pay and
benefits.
The service changeover will be
effective as of July 17, 1989.
The contract gives the current
city paramedics the choice of
remaining with the city or mov­ing
to the East Alabama Medical
Center under the new organiza­tion.
If the paramedics choose to
accept employment with EAMC,
the city will supplement their
pay so that they will make the
same rate of pay as they would
have made with the city.
"The paramedics must look at
[this proposal] individually and
determine what is in their best
interest. We think we've been
very fair. They have two good
options," City Manager Doug
Watson said.
The EMS employees will also
be paid for all their accumulat­ed
vacation and sick leave, and

There is a reason why those
people in orange vests have
been seen cleaning up the high­ways
around Auburn. They are
part of volunteer groups that
have adopted a mile of state
highway within the Auburn city
limits.
The Adopt-a-Mile program
puts volunteers from different
groups to work cleaning up the
Alabama highways. Other states
have had success with the
program, so Gov. Guy Hunt
brought the idea home last year
as part of the preparation for
the Alabama Reunion, said
Miles Ward, district engineer for
the Highway Department in Lee
and Chambers counties.
Of the 20 miles in Auburn
that are involved, six were
adopted by groups from the
University. The Agricultural
Experiment Station took two
miles, and the Panhellenic
Council, Pi Kappa Alpha
Fraternity, Circle K Service
Organization, and Phi Delta Chi
Pharmacy Fraternity each took
one mile.
Ken Talbert, chairman of the
Adopt-a-Mile committee, said
the Chamber of Commerce
became the adopting agency
here in Auburn with the inten­tion
of finding an adoptee for
each mile of state highway in

Local son braves Beijing
By Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
A situation unfolding in
Auburn has the sound of the
most melodramatic soap opera.
Unfortunately for the family, it's
real life, not a soap opera.
Lance Ross has voluntarily
remained in Beijing until he can
bring his fiancee, a Chinese citi­zen,
back to the United States,
according to his father, the Rev.
James Ross, pastor of Auburn
United Methodist Church.
His son is trying to obtain
permission from the Chinese
government to bring his fiancee
to the United States, but so far
he has had no luck, Ross said.
'We don't know what the reac­tion
of the Chinese government
has been. He has been very ten­tative
about talking on the tele­phone.
It is apparent that he
suspects the phone is tapped,
but we really have to read
between the lines," he said.
Ross' son teaches English at
the university In Beijing, as well
as teaching it at the Palace
Hotel to Chinese business exec-
Art by Alan Eskew
utlves, he said.
The family has friends in
Washington, where the younger
Ross once worked, who are try­ing
to help with the problem,
Ross said.
"The State Department has
given him diplomatic status,
which would have given him
priority in getting out, but he
chose to stay instead," he said.
Ross said that because of the
suspected phone tap, his son
has been wary of talking about
the students.
"When we called once and
made a statement about the
students, he was very non-com-mital.
He said that he was away
from the violence and it was not
as bad (where he was) as what
we might have seen on televi­sion,"
Ross said.
One of the options which Ross
said he believes may be avail­able
to his son would be to
marry his fiancee in the Ameri­can
Embassy.
"I think that would make her
an American citizen automati­cally,
but I don't think that he
wants to do that yet. I think he
wants to bring her over here to
experience the U.S. culture
before they took that step," he
said.
Coyotes moving to Southeast
By Joey Jarriel
Staff Writer
Like many other Southeastern states,
Alabama may face a rapidly growing problem
with coyotes, according to Billy Powell of the
Alabama State Cattlemen's Association.
Though they are pre-dominately found in the
Southwest, coyotes seem to be spreading out
across the Southeast as well, causing growing
concern among farmers as well as sheep and
cattle farmers, Powell said.
They are scavengers, eating vegetables,
garbage and small rodents, as well as running
down calves and sheep, making them a menace
to farmers as well as cattlemen, Powell said.
In addition, he said, they kill young deer and
other wildlife where there were once no coyotes,
Powell said.
Powell said there were 11,000 coyotes killed
last year in Alabama, and one trapper in
Baldwin County claimed to have killed 62.
Gaines Whatley, an Opelika beef cattleman,
said that he has not actually witnessed an
attack He did have two calves die because of
what he said he strongly believes to be coyotes.
He said he has killed several on or near his
property in the past year.
"Mostly they just cause injuries more than
anything else," Whatley said, explaining that one
of the calves he lost had been trampled by a
frightened herd.
"In the wintertime you can hear packs of
them, 15 or so of them, howling all night long."
In Mississippi the situation is even worse,
Powell said. He cited estimates that 40,000
coyotes had been killed there in the last year,
noting that the trend in Mississippi appears to
be about eight years ahead of Alabama.
Powell's committee has formulated no plans to
solve the problems yet. State Rep. A. J. Blake
(D-Pell City) did introduce a bill that placed a
bounty on coyotes in hopes that it would
encourage hunters and trappers to catch them.
In states where similar bills had been passed,
they didn't seem to be effective in dealing with
the problem, Powell said.
.Trustees approve new life science building
By B. Bryan Bittle
Managing Editor
'Some departments from the
School of Science and Mathe-i
• matics and the College of Veteri­nary
Medicine will have new
facilities soon, if proposals from
the board of trustees go as
* planned.
/We are looking at
the entire sciences
•area.'
-Bessie Mae
Holloway
i
A $10 million life sciences
. complex will fill the area north­west
of the corner of South Col­lege
Street and Samford Avenue
by early 1992, board of trustees
*in a meeting June 5.
The trustees approved $1.55
million for the relocation and
„ renovation of the University's
greenhouses from that site to a
new home near the Agronomy
Farm, located j u s t off south
• DpnahueDrive.
'The new facility is extremely
important to the programs and
disciplines in all of those sub­jects
in the life sciences curricu­la,"
Trustee Morris Savage, of
Jasper, said. He said botany
•and microbiology classes will be
held in the 61,000-square-foot
building, to be financed by Uni­versity
bonds sold last year.
Construction of a second
chemistry building was dis­cussed
by the board as well.
Although still in early stages,
the proposed structure would
complement the University's
$10.6 million, 60,000-square-foot
chemistry building on Dug-gar
Drive, which is slated for
occupancy fall quarter, accord­ing
to Facilities Division projec­tions.
In addition, the College of Vet­erinary
Medicine has been allot­ted
$600,000 for a new inciner­ator,
which Savage said was
necessary to meet government
regulations for pathological and
other waste disposal.
Savage said that the board's
decision "had to be made" since
the current incinerator is "not
up to specifications."
"With these and other pro­jects,
(the board) is talking
about reaching long-term
goals," Holloway said. "So far,
weVe been working on the basis
of need."
"Because of the dangers
inherent in run-down laborato­ries
and outdated modes of
waste disposal, we're looking at
the entire sciences area.
"But there are other areas we
need to look at, too. Construc­tion
took a back seat for a few
years, so we have some catching
up to do," she said.

the field of engineering. In
engineering schools across the
nation, women made up 15 per­cent
of the fall quarter freshman
class.
At Auburn, women made up
20 percent of the freshman
class. In fall quarter of 1988,
out of 3,679 undergraduates
enrolled in Auburn's school of
engineering, only 539 were
women, said Charles Griffin,
director of engineering student
services at Auburn.
Jennifer Cannon, 03 IE, said
her classes have the most
women, about one-fourth of the
class. In her other classes, there
are five girls out of 40 students.
"I took a mate selection class
at another school, and it Just
freaked me out to have that
many girls in class," Beth Ann
Bentley, 04 ME, said. Usually,
she said, you get so used to it
you don't even notice.
"A Model Program Encourag­ing
Women to Pursue Careers in
Engineering," will be funded
through a $129,000 grant set
up by the Department of Educa­tion.
The study will begin in the
fall with surveys to discover
attitudes women may have

bridges or manage an office,
Bentley said.

you're scared about a test
because you can do It,' " said
Camille Cogglns, 03 IE.
The project will target three
areas of women. High school
and college students will be the
focal point of these seminars.
Programs will be set up to help
women deal with concerns they
have during these times.
"Girls on the whole aren't
encouraged to go into this,"
Bentley said. "From their soph­omore
year (in high school) and
up parents say, Take whatever
you can to get by.' When you get
to Auburn and all you've had is
pre-algebra, It's too late."
Freshmen and sophomores
will see what classes are to be
taken in the engineering major.
Seminars will also be presented
on career opportunities, salaries
and jobs, Curtis said.
"If you can get a degree in
mechanical engineering, you
can find a job that will pay any­where
from $27,000 to $32,000
to start," Bentley said
The project will also encour­age
women to seek a graduate
degree.
"It really changes how high
and quickly you can rise," said
Cherri Pancake, of the computer
science and engineering faculty.
"It's an investment. You Immedi­ately
become part of an elite
pool," she said.
Pancake said this will in­crease
work options, location
choices and flexibility in hours.
"With a master's you can buy
the flexibility to work part-time."
Pancake said.

Legislature raises

Bid laws change

Gov. Guy Hunt recently

U n i v e r s i ty
Director of
Purchasing Ted Brown said.
"We will be able to process
orders of $5,000 and under
quicker, and it will cut down
on the number of formal
sealed bids."
A formal sealed bid must be
advertised, and a specific time,
date and place it will open
must be given, Brown said. It
is then open to the public.
"We're pleased with this
victory," Brown said. "It's
been quite an uphill race to
get the minimum raised. It's
progress."
Many states have a $10,000
minimum, but it will be a long
time before Alabama raises its
minimum again, Brown said.
The new law will not only be
a help to the University, he
said, but to other agencies
through-out the state as well.

It doesn't have mirrors,

are going to the coliseum to
shed unwanted pounds or just
to stay in shape.
What the coliseum does offer
are two areas suitable for
running laps and numerous
rows of stairs. It is an indoor
place to exercise that is free and
convenient, and some people
are taking advantage of that

The coliseum is open
weekdays from 7:30 a.m. until
10:30 p.m. and from 9 a.m.
until 10 p.m. on weekends.
When the coliseum hosts
spectator events, it closes at 4
p.m.
"Some people get Irritated
when their jogging schedules
are Interrupted, but we haven't
really had any problems with
it," said Thomas W. Sparrow IV,
manager of the coliseum.
"The biggest problem we have
is when people leave things
here," he said.
To help make sure there is no
trouble! students are employed
as security guards, and
University police patrol the
area.
The busiest exercise times,
according to Sparrow, are
around lunch and right after 5
p.m. Most of the people who
exercise at the coliseum are
students, he said, but faculty
and staff members use it as
well.
There Is no strict enforcement
of rules regarding public use;
but the University prefers it be
used by people associated with
the University, Sparrow said. '

• y Club goers
jguide to life
in New York
NEW YORK-Clubs in New
• York are nothing short of hot.
During the break while many
of you were tanning your bods
at the beach or working at
home, I took a trip, and it was
a trip, to New York City.
Art museums, shopping,
tourist sites, all of this is great
to see in New York, but if you
truly want to feel the pulse of
the city, go to the clubs.
To go out in New York
means, do not hit the clubs
until around midnight.
There are hundreds perhaps
\ thousands of bars and dance
| clubs in New York, but there
{are only a few at which you
1 'could be caught dead.
Probably the hottest and
best club in New York is known
as Mars. Mars is so immensely
popular that you must be
picked to go inside. A few
weeks before we were there,
Malcolm Forbes was turned
away at the door. This exem­plifies
the pretentious air
about the club.
The decor is surrealistic.
With deformed tables and
drawer cabinets coming out of
the wall of this one time meat
locker. The club is huge, it is
on about five floors, and there
are wild lights and hard
thumping house music.
•t Another fantastically hot
club in New York is the Lime­light.
A former New York bish­op
once said that the club was
sheer "sacrilege."
- It is located in an old cathe­dral
in midtown. The gothic
architecture lends itself well to
Jthe macabre crowd that looms
» 'around the catwalks which
jcriss-cross the dance floor.
I The light show is not over-ilone
which adds to the omi­nous
feeling of blasphemy that
pne gets from the interior,
fhen you walk in the door
:re is a phrase carved into
le stone that says "this house
|s built for the good of God's
children." In the eyes of the
club kids the statement is cor-
;ct.
The club that I found to yield
most intense excitement
be the Tunnel.
, u u> in an old abandoned
jpubway tunnel, but it is deco-
* felted in the most sumptious
id lavish furnishings such as
luge crystal chandeliers and
>ng sofas. The music is typi-house-
dance and the club
| a s live music such as the
cid House sounds of the band
mer City.
As for the club The World,
ion't believe the hype. Sure
le Talking Heads filmed a
Ideo there, but I believe that
le club is headed to the great
jneyard of passe places.
The club is divided into two
lections. The first part is the
^uge dance floor known as the
forld and the second Is the
blace for people picked at the
loor called It. The It has its
^wn dance floor and music but
« ;2t is dead until about six in the
Snorning. The World is dead
:riod. There is a lot of press
^n this club, but it is dying.

Golden said.
He spent the time traveling

tape, The Golden Touch, at vari­ous
country music radio sta­tions.
The album contains his
other three Billboard entries:
"Southern and Proud of It,"
'This Old World Ain't the Same"
and "That New Song That

"I was really excited when my
first single, 'Southern and

Golden said. "If it had only

satisfied."
Entertainment
Spotlight
The Jeff Golden Band was
first formed eight years ago, but
has seen many changes during
the years. The band has
opened for such well-known
acts as Three Dog Night. Wet
Willie and Juice Newton.
"I'll never forget one night
seven years ago when we were
playing in a bar In Troy, Ala.,"
Golden said. "Hank Williams Jr.,
was in the bar and just picked
up a guitar and got up on stage
with us. We must have played
for two hours straight."
The first time I caught up
with the Jeff Golden Band, it
was a busy, but not atypical
weekend. Friday night the band
had traveled to Ozark, Ala., to
open for Lee Greenwood and„
Exile. )
Saturday night found the
band closer to home, opening 3
for Ricky Van Shelton and "}
Shenandoah in Columbus, Ga. ' "*
Almost as soon as they got off­stage,
the band was on its way
back to Opelika, to play at
Spudz Lounge.
"The difference between play­ing
in a club and in a concert is
like night and day," Doroff said.'") *
"In a club, you have all night to'
impress people, but in a concert-,--
you may only have 30 minutes." / "
While the band's own songsi?"^
are of the country variety, the /
band gets to demonstrate Its/
versatility at Spudz Lounge,I
where they play a wide variety!!
of music.
On any given night you're?
likely to hear music ranging
from Elvis and Patsy Cline to
Prince and Billy Idol. "I impersi-nate
a lot of artists, but I hope I *
don't sound like anyone else
when I sing my songs," Golden
said.
The Jeff Golden Band will be "
opening for Ronnie Milsap in
Columbus, Ga., Sept. 22.
If you prefer a less expensive «
ticket, you can always see them
at Spudz Lounge, a few miles
north of 1-85, at the Highway
280, Columbus exit. To those *
with a good long-term memory
or just an inability to leave "the
loveliest village on the Plains," *
the bar was once known as
Frisco's.

Balanced diep key to healthful eating
By Larisa Lambert
Assistant Copy Editor
I f you don't have anything
to eat, just order a pizza.
This may be the typical
eating philosophy on college
campuses everywhere.
Snack machines, soft drink
machines and restaurants are
highly visible here in Auburn.
Schedules vary from day to day
and quarter to quarter which
makes it necessary to change
eating habits and eat whatever
you can find or order.
Eating schedules seem to
revolve around class schedules
helot Auburn with students
anfbrofessors. Dr. Richard
PeQikovic, head of the religion
devilment, said that his meal
timeoften vary because of the
clafes he teaches. When he

Craig-Schmidt also said that
there is "not inately one particu­larly

balance, variety and moderation
are practiced.
During basketball season,
Jocetyn McGilberry, 04 CTC. of
the Lady Tigers, was told to eat
more. McGilberry said that the
atheletic department would pro­vide
them with meals before the
game.
The coaches suggest a menu
to the team, she said, but they
are not required to follow it.
She said she does increase her
carbohydrates during the win­ter.
At other times of the year,
McGilberry said her dinner was
smaller, about the same size as
lunch. She said she enjoys pizza
during the off-season.
McGilberry said she skips
meals alot, usually lunch. Her
diet doesn't include snacks,
cokes or caffeine.
Ideally, students should
intake 12 to 15 percent In pro­teins
and 50 to 60 percent in
carbohydrates, Craig-Schmidt
said. Less than 30 percent of
the calories consumed should
be "fat calories," she said.

Mellencamp reflects on life
Big Daddy
John Cougar Mellencamp
PolyGram
* * *
Traditional John Cougar Mel­lencamp
fans seeking "R.O.C.K.
in the USA" will probably get
more than they bargained for on
his latest release. Big Daddy, a
somber album in which Mellen­camp
reflects on the attitudes
and the quality of life in the
United States.
Music Review
Released on May 9, Big
Daddy demonstrates Mellen-camp's
bitterness with the
American system in which the
poor and downtrodden have a
small chance of rising, while
materialistic businessmen and
politicians further their own
wealth.
He also is following the trend
of maturing musicians taking a
chance to reflect on family life,
as in the title track.
Many of the tunes are remi­niscent
of the basic rock pro­duced
by Mellencamp for years,
but Mellencamp's latest follows
a more lolksy stride with more
use of acoustic guitars, fiddle
and harmonicas to compliment
his traditional rock back-beat.
'While Mellencamp
is struggling with
social problems in
the United States,
he also is seeking
answers for
himself.'
Mellencamp won the hearts of
middle-class and rural America
with the release of his first
widespread popular album,
American Fool , in 1982, in
which "Jack and Diane" and
"Hurts So Good" conveyed the
flavor of American ideals which

had seemingly passed by the
wayside.
The flavor of his new album is
set with songs such as "Jackie
Brown" about the hopelessness
of a family on the poor side of
(own - uneducated, with worn
clothes and sad eyes. "The ugly
truth is freedom (has) not been
kind to you," so the lyrics go.
Another tune, "Country Gen­tleman"
tells the story of a cold,
indifferent big city executive.
"He ain't gonna help no poor
man/he ain't gonna help no
woman/he ain't gonna help no
children ... He wants you to
believe he's kind with good
intentions."
While Mellencamp Is strug­gling
with social problems in the
United States, he also is seeking
answers for himself.
"Pop Singer," which is begin­ning
the trek up the charts,
and "Void in My Heart" seem to
chronicle Mellencamp's own
success.
"Pop Singer" is about a musi­cian
who "never wanted to be no
pop singer, never wanted to
write no pop song, never had no
weird hairdo, never wanted to
hang out after the show."
In "Void in my Heart," Mellen­camp
sings that, although he's
"sang my songs to millions" and
worked for charity, he still ques­tions
whether he has done
enough.
In "J.M.'s Question," Mellen­camp
begs the question "What
kind of world do we live in?" and
answers that It is the kind of
world where you "Do it to your
buddy before he does it to you."
Mellencamp's work is
depressing overall, but it
demonstrates boldness in mov­ing
away from assured top-10
hits into the realm of social con­sciousness.

The deaf leads the b^d as
Gene Wilder and Richaipryor
team up again in thV'stir
crazy" comedy See NxEvil,
HearNoEviL
Wilder plays a deaf nii who
operates a newspaper smd in
a New York City officl>uild-ing,
while Pryor pornys a
blind man in debt, loolog for
ii
a job.
In the search for a job, Pryor
encounters Wilder and forms
an Immediate friendship.
Wilder and Pryor are work­ing
together when Pryor's
bookie comes to collect money
from him. But in the process,
the bookie is being followed by
a woman looking for a coin
that he has.
Movie Review
The woman kills the man,
but doesn't realize that he left
the coin on the counter of the
newspaper stand.
Pryor hears the gunshot,
and Wilder sees only the back
of the woman's legs. The police
arrive to find the two over the
body, and they think that
Wilder and Pryor killed the
man.
The police don't believe their
story, so the two end up being
arrested. Wilder and Pryor
manage to escape from the
police and get caught up in
the chase for the coin and the
real murderers.
Wilder and Pryor make being
deaf or blind comical, but they
do add some moral undertones
to their comedy.
They show that people who
are deaf or blind shouldn't
receive special treatment.
Wilder and Pryor's charac­ters
are human like everyone
else and every once in a while
need help, not prejudice.
If you feel different from
everyone else, this is the movie
that will show you that you are
just like the rest of the world.

;New center
\ symbolizes
|Dye's era
i The Auburn Athletic Center
/ t h a t opened earlier this
j month, following years of
I planning and months of con­'
s s t r u c t i o n , symbolizes the
; entire athletic department's
, success during the Pat Dye
I years.
The football program is often
{ maligned for being "the only
v sport that matters." Football
; receives all the press, gets all
I the fan support and spends all
I the money.
The truth is, the accom-
I plishments of the non-revenue
I sports at Auburn are partly
- attributable to Dye's program.
To oversimplify the obvious,
'without sufficient financial
I backing, the various sports
jcould not compete with the
*best in the nation as most of
'.Auburn's teams do.
On the Plains, only football
>;and men's basketball are self-'
I sufficient. The other 14 sports
' greatly benefit from the rev­e
n u e the football program gen-rerates,
which contrary to
I many people's belief. Dye does
I not keep all for his own team.
• There is a major difference
I between the Dye era and those
»of Shug Jordan here and Paul
~ Bryant at Alabama, the other
j two great football coaches/
I athletic directors this state
| h a s seen. The difference Is
I Dye's emphasis on the com-1
; plete athletic program.
f Sure, non-revenue sports,
; especially women's athletics,
<have gained greater attention
I during the last 15 years. But
^without the change in attitude
J toward these sports that Dye
^brought to Auburn, the Tigers
•» f
would have been left behind
jby their conference foes, much
; less the nation's best
So what does the Athletic
{Center have to do with this?
£ On first appearance, the
; building seems to benefit only
•the football program.
;. But on second look, it great-
Lly helps the other sports at
jAuburn.
All football coaches, as well
:as most athletic department
•personnel who are directly
involved with the football pro-
..gram, moved from Joel H.
;;Eaves-Memorial Coliseum to
*the new building when it
r opened.
I However, Joe Ciampi, Hal
Baird and the rest of the non-
Irevenue coaches and staff who
Jwere already in the Coliseum
Jwill remain there.
I But with nearly twice as
much office space and locker
'.rooms that once belonged to
jjthe football team, players and
!*coaches associated with the
'.other sports shouldn't be too
disappointed.
When two or three coaches
•were sharing one office, as
* .was more the rule than the
'exception before' the opening
'of the Athletic Center, con-p
; ducting business was difficult
;*if not impossible.
; Imagine how impressed a
J recruit would be when he or
' 'she stepped into a cramped
'office to attempt to talk with a
coach while two others are on
the phone.
Now, most of the coaches
and staff can conduct activi-
• ties In a more organized man-
" '.ner without having to worry
about running into someone
I every time they turn around.
One last thing to remember
about the Athletic Center is
^that although it looks spectac­ular,
attractiveness is not the
j \ reason it was built. The build-king
is practical. Coaches and
.athletic department staff now
'have the space necessary to
* ; function efficiently.
And that is the bottom line.

of The PIAinsman.
Complex opens to rave reviews
Facility met by approval
of football coaches, staff
By David Paschall
Staff Writer
With success comes reward.
The new Athletic Center
represents yet another
landmark in the growing'
success of the football program.
This spacious three-story
building contains j u s t about
everything one could ask for
from steam baths to
auditoriums.
Although the facility opened
less than three weeks ago, plans
for the Athletic Center have
been in the works for quite
some time now, department
officials said.
"There were drawings of a
possible athletic center when
Doug Barfield was head coach
10 or 12 years ago," Resident
Counselor and former Tiger
defensive great Rusty Dean
said. "This place today exceeds
any plans and drawings made
during that time by a great
deal."
Behind the desk in the lobby
sits Louise Rivard who handles
most all of the calls coming into
the tuilding.
"Rijht now a lot of the calls
coming in are for basketball and
other sports," Rivard said. "As
soon as the new phone system
gets roned out, we will be able
to handle the football calls while
the (oliseum will continue to
handle the other sports.
"We have the 844 number
while the coliseum will continue
to use the 826 for a couple of
more weeks until they switch
over,' he said.
Rivard said his lone complaint
is the echoing that can occur in
the ron-carpeted lobby.
The first floor of the Athletic
Center contains locker rooms
for players, coaches, managers
and trainers.
Not only do the players have
lockers more than seven feet
tall, but they have the luxuries

Talent shines at Festival
By David Hardee

While most of the Auburn
student body was away from
campus recovering from exams,
hundreds of high school-aged
and younger athletes visited the
Plains on June 10 and 11 for
.the East Regional of the Alaba­ma
Sports Festival VII.
Athletes competed in track
and field and soccer for the
right to move on to the state
competition, but most of the
attention was focused on the
Student Activities Center (SAC).
Basketball, recognized as the
highlight of the festival, was
held in the SAC, with 18 boys
teams competing for three spots
in the finals, to be held on Fri­day
and Saturday at S.D. Bish­op
State Junior College in
Mobile.
With three East Alabama All-
Star teams entered, coaches
Richard Carter and Frank Tol-bert

Thomas, Siwa
chosen in draft By Jon Collins
Staff Writer
Those who watched Frank
Thomas play baseball during
his career at Auburn probably
weren't surprised when he was
chosen as the seventh pick
overall in the Major League
Baseball draft earlier this
month.
The Chicago White Sox
selected the Tiger first
baseman as their first-round
draft choice after his junior
season in which he boasted a
.403 batting average, blasted
19 homeruns and drove in 83
runs.
Thomas started all 64 games
for the 44-20 Tigers. He had
a .575 on-base percentage and
ended the season with a .801
slugging percentage.
Siwa
Auburn catcher Joe Siwa
was selected in the later
rounds by the Minnesota
Twins. Siwa, who transferred
from Murray State Junior
College, finished his senior
Thomas
season with a .296 batting
average for the Southeastern
Conference Tournament
Champions.
Thomas' intentions of
playing professional baseball
were no secret.
"There were no misunder­standings,"
said Hal Baird,
Auburn head baseaball coach.
'We knew this was going to be
his last year when we started
the season."
Thomas was a member of
the Auburn football team for
two seasons before devoting
his athletic talents to baseball
full time. The 6-foot-5, 250-
pound Columbus, Ga., native
saw some action at tight end
his freshman season for coach
Pat Dye. Thomas' sophomore
grid-iron season was cut short
because of an injury.
His totals for his three-season
career included 49

Asmuth looks to return swimmers to old form
Editor's Note: This is the first
in a series of interviews with
head coaches of the non-rev­enue
sports at Auburn. The
coaches will have an opportu­nity
to discuss the state of
their teams and their
prospects for the coming year.
By Shawn Mathis
Staff Writer
The Auburn swim teams
under head coach John
Asmuth suffered a disappoint­ing
off-year last season after
several years of unprecedented
success for the Tigers.
In this interview Asmuth dis­cusses
the ability of the swim­ming
teams to rebound as well
as the diving team's prospects
in the post-Jose Rocha years.
Q. What kinds of changes
should we look for in the
upcoming schedule?
A. There won't be a lot of
changes. This is the second
year that the SEC goes by the
rule that all teams in the con­ference
swim each other, that's
seven of our dual meets right
there. Out of the conference,
we swim Miami and Southern
Illinois like we did last year.
First m a series
Q. Will this schedule help
or hurt Auburn swimming?
Why?
A Last year we had a lot of
injuries, but this year we will

this year, but that doesn't mean that
we won't."
-John Asmuth
be more competitive swimming
with the same schedule
because we are healthier.
We don't expect to lose any
meet this year, but that does­n't
mean that we won't.
Q. Now that Jose Rocha is
gone, who do you expect to
emerge as the team leader
for the men and women?
A. For the men, I believe
that the leaders will come from
our NCAA group, Chris Don­ahue,
Mike Kriethe and Rick
O'Dell. It will be a group
though, not just one person.
We have a lot of freshmen this
season so we need more lead­ers.
For the women, I think
Wendy Rado, Leah Ebe and
Marina Smith (diving) will be
leaders.

Wet
Golfers end
season on
damp note
By Thad Foret
Staff Writer
The rain that swept across the
central Oklahoma plain earlier
this month washed away more
than a few tons of top soil,
several mobile homes and the
occasional farm animal. It also
drowned the Auburn golf team's
hopes of playing four rounds at
the NCAA Championship.
In two previous attempts
during the last four years the
Tigers had failed in that bid by
missing the 54-hole cut.
Thanks to the NCAA the 1989
version featured 30 teams with
no cut. Enter Mother Nature.
Exit Auburn.
A steady rain on opening day,
J u n e 7, at the Oak Tree
Country Club course, forced
officials to install a cut to 17
teams after 36 holes. The final
36 holes were played the
following Saturday, June 10.
The Tigers missed the cut, tying
for 29th and last place, after
dropping 17 spots during the
final 18 holes.
"We were expecting to p lay 72
holes going in," Auburn toach
Mike Griffin said. "But wi Ji the
weather like it was, i: was
impossible to have 30 :eams
play 72 holes in just threeUays.

should have had a bearing on

Gymnast hopeful after surgery
By David Hardee
Sports Editor
Sophomore Audra Yermovsky
underwent surgery to replace a
torn anterior cruciate ligament
in her right knee on June 12 at
the Hughston Clinic in Colum­bus,
Ga.
The surgery was performed by
Dr. Kurt Jacobson.
Yermovsky, a native of Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla., originally
injured the knee in practice on
a bars dismount on Dec. 14.
She never fully recovered and
did not compete in a meet all
season. Yermovsky was red-shirted
and will be a sophomore
again in 1990.
'The surgery was completely
successful," coach Robert Dil-lard
said. "We hope that she can
start contributing to the team
by the start of next season."
Yermovsky is realistic about
her chances to compete next
year.
"My knee has improved so
much in the past week," she
said. "It already feels pretty
strong. I'm just hoping it contin­ues.
"But I know that January is
about the earliest I'll be able to
go at full speed."
Yermovsky struggled with
injuries during her freshman

For the first time In the
history of the Auburn football
program, the ticket office is
having to turn away fans trying
to buy season tickets.
Last week. Auburn ticket
manager Bill Beckwlth an­nounced
that the ticket office
has sold 75.000 \ l_A\
season tickets
for the 1989
home games.
"We have
never sold out
of season
tickets before,
and it is a big thrill for us."
Beckwith said. "Sales have
finally caught up with the
stadium enlargement."
Included in the 75,000 are
14,000 season books reserved
for students and 3,500 for the"
faculty.
In past years, students have
never had problems getting
tickets for games in Jordan-
Hare Stadium, but this season
could be different, Beckwith
said.
"We have never had to turn
away a student before, but this
may very well be the year,"
Beckwith said. "Both faculty
I w sales and full-price
sales are
up 30 percent
this year. We
have to believe
student sales
will be up too,
and If they are,
we probably won't have enough
to accomodate them."
The rapid sales are attributed
to the Tigers hosting the

Head basketball coach
Tommy Joe Eagles announced
on Saturday the schedule the
Tigers will face in his inaugural
season.
The slate includes 13 home
games and two tournament
appearances. Non-Southeastern
Conference opponents include
UNLV on the road and UAB's

"Our scheduling philosophy,"
Eagles said, "is to play tough
teams as early as possible so we
can properly prepare for the
conference schedule. With the
overall strength of the league,
we'll need all the preparation we
can get."
Eagles will make his Auburn
debut about as far from the
Plains as imaginable in the 8-
team Great Alaskan Shootout in
Ankarage, Alaska, from Nov. 24-
27.
Auburn's other regular-season
tournament trip will be to the
first Blue Angels' Classic in
Pensacola, Fla., on Dec. 28 and
29.
The SEC Tournament will be
held in Orlando, Fla., from
March 8-11.

Q. What are Auburn's
strong and weak points?
A. For the men, we recruited
in areas that we were weak.
but we are still weak In back­stroke.
We really have
Improved everywhere, and we
are very strong In sprint
freestyle, with Rick O'Dell and
Mike Kriethe.
The women don't have much
depth In sprint freestyle, but
we're still recruiting there.
The strong area for the women
would be diving.
Q. What goals have you
set for the ' 8 9 ' 9 0 season?
A. Both teams are capable
of getting to the top three in
the conference and the top 20
in the nation. But we really
need to see how the freshmen
adapt.
Our freshmen should help a
lot.
9- What kind of recruiting
season did you have?
A I feel like we had a suc­cessful
year. We have about
10 guys and eight girls that
can all help in certain areas.
But it's hard to tell on paper.
We had a great guy three years
ago that dropped out of school
and never took a stroke for
Auburn.
Q. Is there any recruit
that you or your staff fore­sees
as having SEC or NCAA
champion potential?
A It's hard to tell, some of the
best high school swimmers
have been flops in college.
They were the stars of their
high school team and then
they can't handle being Just
one of the team in college.
Then there are those that were
never anything in high school
and then were stars in college.
Festival
continued from 9
before the coaches were put in
• the unique position of having to
watch two of their own teams
face each other in the third-place
game, the winner to quali­fy,
the loser to stay home.
The East Alabama All-Stars,
No. 1, consisting mainly of next
» year's Auburn High School
team, topped No. 2, 64-60 to
earn a birth in the finals.
Also making the trip will be
Team East and Dega. Team
East defeated a tired Dega club
57-50 in the finals. Dega had
r won a triple-overtime battle over
EA All-Stars No. 2 to reach the
finals earlier in the day.
"I'm so proud of this bunch,"
*' Team East coach Larry Dichiara
said. "They are basically a
bunch of 1A (the smallest high
school classification in Alaba­ma)
kids and to come in here
and compete with the 6A kids is
great.
"It's a David and Goliath kind
of thing."
"We played well for a half,"
Dega coach David Culpepper
said.
Marshall Briskey led Team
East in the final game with 17
points, while Anton Chatman
led Dega with 14.
Though no local teams saw
success in the soccer or girls
basketball portions of the com­petition,
several area athletes
fared well in the track and field
events. A list of winners from
the Auburn/Opelika area:
• Cedric D. Dowdell (Auburn) -
100 meters
• Alexander A Thomson
(Auburn) - 100 meters, 1500
meters, 800 meters
• Michael E. Faust (Auburn) -
110 hurdles, javelin, high jump
• James F. Clemens (Auburn) -
400 meters
• Ian A Thomson (Auburn) -
800 meters, 1500 meter race
walk
• Daniel W. Norton (Auburn) -
800 meters, steeplechase,
200/400 hurdles, high jump
• Duncan T. Spears (Auburn) -
800 meters
• James F. Clemens (Auburn) -
200 meters
• Alexander McCormick (Opeli­ka)
- Long Jump
Golf
continued from 10
competing with the nation's
best. Unfortunately, we failed."
The Tigers opened the
tournament as planned,
shooting a 13-over-par 293 and
slipping into a tie for 12th.
Freshman Jimmy Green led the
way for Auburn, putting his way
to a ]-under 69, a tie for ninth
individually.
Billy Edwards, an Academic
Ail-American selection, as well
as a member of the second team
All-SEC squad, was second for
Auburn at 4-over 74. Griffin
said he was convinced that it
could and should have been
better.
"We lost five shots over the
final three holes that we
shouldn't have." Griffin said.
"They were some of the hardest
holes out there, but we did
some things you j u s t aren't
supposed to when you're trying
to finish off a good round.
"Overall, though, I was reaUy
pleased. We put together a good
opening round, which we had
trouble doing all season and we
played well as a team."
The following day, three
Auburn golfers posted rounds
in the 80s as the Tigers
recorded the highest single
round of the tournament and
fell from 12th to the tie for 29th.
"I j u s t can't describe the
feeling," Griffin said. "It's just so
hard to convince yourself that
you were good enough to make
it here and then to see it all slip
away.
"I think what it all came down
to was a lack of preparation, we
Just hadn't been gearing
ourselves for this moment all
season like' the truly great
teams do."
Oklahoma claimed the team
title, outlasting 2nd-place
finisher Arizona State.
"You can't dwell on what's
past," Griffin said. "Hopefully
the younger guys coming back
will look to this for incentive
next year, though."
Baseball
continued from 9
homeruns and 205 RBIs.
Thomas was a mainstay
among the top of the SEC
hitters as he bolted 21 homers
his freshman season. His
sophomore season saw his
homerun total drop to nine,
IliMUOHMMflll
however he sported a .385
batting average.
Thomas is now in Sarasota,,
Fla.. playing with the White
Sox' Gulf Coast League Team.
"Right now it's day by day,"
said Steve Navarito, assistant
director of player development
for the White Sox, concerning
Thomas' progress with the
franchise. "Our coaches want
to work with him on different
things."

his fielding attempts as a
Junior.
As a senior, Siwa appeared
in 41 games, starting 33 of
those, as he split time behind
the plate with sophomore Tim

Adopt
continued from 1
the city. It has taken him only
three months to find the 20
groups of volunteers needed, he
said.
"It wasn't easy though. This
project took a lot of hard work,"
he said.
Talbert said he has also given
talks on basic safety procedures
to the adopting groups.
'The explanation is essential
but Is pretty much common
sense," he said. "We ask that
the volunteers not do things
that may endanger them, such
as having a car drive alongside
as they clean up.
"We also insist that each vol­unteer
sign a release form, say­ing
that they assume full
responsibility for their own safe­ty
during participation in Adopt-a-
Mile."
Ward said that the Highway
Department is financing the
cost of the program. This
includes the cost of the signs to
be put on each side of the mile,
stating the adopting group's
name, and the cost of garbage
bags and safety vests, he said.
All the volunteers have to do
is keep the mile clean, and their
group enjoys free advertising for
the length of the two-year con­tract,
Ward said.
The department provides bags
that are meant to be used twice
a month, but of course some
miles may need more time and
effort than others, depending on
the location, he said.
The Adopt-a-Mile committee
has prioritized city miles not
included in the Alabama State
Highway, Talbert said. These
would be used by groups that
are still interested in cleaning
up roads in what is already a
beautiful state.
Since the program was in­tended
for the state highway
system there would be an $88
charge for signs located on
miles not included in that sys­tem
he said.
Nobody has taken a road in
Auburn that isn't a part of the
state highway. With all the
interest generated in the com­munity,
it's always a possibility,
Talbert said.
Miles Ward said there hasn't
been a problem yet with the
adoptees not keeping up with
their end of the contract.
"If one of the miles was being
neglected". Ward said, "we
would simply remove the signs
from the mile, and relieve the
adoptee of their contract. But
we don't expect that to happen."
Ward said there is an agency
called People Against a Littered
State, or PALS, that works to
remove trash from public areas
in Alabama. It isn't only for
highways, but for places such
as woods and parks too, he
said. *
Center
continued from 9
of a whirlpool, steam room and
sauna room.
The equipment room is also
located on this floor as well as
managerial offices overlooking
the practice fields.
Moving up a floor, one will
find a weight room and an
auditorium for watching game
films. Besides this film audi­torium,
there are separate fllm
rooms for each position.
A new creation for the Athletic
Center is a radio and television
studio which will contain all of
Pat Dye's shows with the
exception of "The Pat Dye Show"
Thursday, June 22,1989
which will still be broadcast on Information Office
WSFA in Montgomery.
"This studio will help t s out
tremendously for all of i :oach
Dye's call in shows," Ass stant
Sports Information Director
Mike Hubbard said.
"I feel this along with oijr fllm
room, which uses computers to
break down plays • and
formations, will be extremely
beneficial In upcoming years.
"We are, in a sense, the
pioneers of this new electronic
media system. Tennessee and
Georgia will also be experi­menting
with these new systems
this fall," Hubbard said.
Finally, located on the top
floor are the coaches' offices,
the business office, the
recruiting office and the Sports
Each assistant coach will now
have his own office. For
example, quarterback coach Pat
Sullivan once shared an office
in the coliseum with running
back coach Bud Casey.
"I am excited to be here."
Sullivan said. "Our new offices
over here are much more
suitable to the working
conditions that each assistant
coach must go through on a day
to day basis."
Although the center has been
open since June 2, the people'
in the athletic department said
they still have a great deal to do
in their respective rooms.
In the words of Pat Sullivan,
Auburn's new Athletic Center is
a "first class operation."
Book Tickets
continued from 1 continued from 10
Women
continued from 4
with a family. Included in the
program will be seminars on
mixing careers and family life.
Pancake said. Women and cou­ples
will speak on this subject of
successfully mixing a marriage
and a job.
The scarcity of women leads
to a lack of role models for
female students. Since industry
pays higher than academia,
Schaer said, she believes this
contributes to the lack of
women professors.
Cannon said she never
noticed the lack of girls in her
classes, but she realizes it is
important to be able to interact.
"It helps to have a mixture of
guys and girls in classes so we
learn to deal with them," Can­non
said. 'When we get out­side,
if a guy has a female boss,
it will have helped him to have a
female professor."
Bentley said, "In the work
environment, a really good com­pany
will realize the value in
having women. Companies are
trying to get minorities because
they realize the value in seeing
the problem from a bunch of
different viewpoints. Your white
male can't come up with every
viewpoint."
Cannon said, "Sometimes
guys in engineering can be more
mechanically inclined, and girls
are more comfortable in an
office environment. We learn a
lot from them mechanically, and
: they learn how to deal with peo­ple
through women in the
office."
At the end of the year, another
survey will be held to find
changes in attitudes, Curtis
said.
"I think this would be great if
people took the time to use it,"
Coggins said.
Action Committee which has
promoted The Dispossessed
Majority in its newsletter, said
American Renaissance is "evi­dently
just a post office box
number."
Air Force aerospace studies
professor Col. Ralph LeBlanc
said Monday he was "not sur­prised"
the list of ROTC seniors
was available.
LeBlanc said he wasn't con­cerned
about the mailings.
"I have a problem of personal
conviction with the book, but
not with the right to print It,"
LeBlanc said. 'We're proud of
the fact that we have freedom of
speech and the press in our
Constitution.
"Overall in the scheme of
things, it's problem 57 on my
list of 24. We know there are
lots of books out like that."
LeBlanc said only one of his
students had received the book.
Published in 1972, the book
by Wilmot Robertson "gives the
reasons and consequences of
the ongoing, devastating assault
upon your people's cultural val­ues
and economic position in
society. It outlines how your
future will probably be affected
as a result of these policies and
programs of anti-white discrimi­nation,"
the Weber letter read.
The book was also mailed,
again unsolicited, to students at
two Atlanta private schools in
1987.
University of Alabama at
Jordan-Hare on Dec. 2,
Beckwith said. The only way for
anyone to get a ticket for the
game is to buy a season book.
Student season books have
tickets for the last five games of
the season beginning with
Mississippi State on Oct 28, at
a cost of $20.
Students who pre-ordered in
the spring are guaranteed
tickets. The remaining student
season books will be sold in the
fall. Priority for those sales will
be based on class standing.
Joggers
continued from 4
of Haley Center when shet
thought, "I ought to do this
more often."
She said she thought of the
stairs at the coliseum and now
goes once a day for 20-30
minutes.
Melissa Dickson, 03 VAT. goes
to the coliseum three to four
times a week for 30 minutes
each time, and she says she can
tell a difference.
"I started two months ago and
could only run one lap. I'm now
up to 10, only two away from
my goal of 12 laps," Dickson
said.
If joggers want to know the
distances they're running, the
dimensions of the coliseum are
posted at portal five.
Running 4.402 laps around
the outer concourse at 30
inches from the outside wall.
4.988 laps around the outer
concourse at 36 inches from the
inside wall or 6.108 laps around
the inner concourse makes one
mile. Portal five also has a list
of eight flexibility exercises
recommended before Jogging.
EMS
continued from 1
they will be allowed to remain in
the Retirement Systems of
Alabama with the city bearing
part of the cost. In addition,
they will be allowed to return to
the city's employment before
July 4, 1990, to a position in a
comparable pay grade.
Under this contract, EAMC
will keep two fully manned
ambulances in Auburn 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
The ambulances will be sta­tioned
at the fire station on
Shug Jordan Parkway.
Having the ambulances based
in Auburn will provide a three-and-
one-half minute Improve­ment
in response time, accord­ing
to Watson.
According to the contract the
city will sell one of its two res­cue
trucks, along with equip­ment
and supplies, to EAMC.
The other truck will be main­tained
by the city to be used by
firefighters In serious situations
where the EAMC may need
backup, according to the con­tract.
The contract states that
EAMC must provide a budget
each year by June 15 for the
next fiscal year. It must provide
an audit by the end of January
for the next fiscal year.
The Council also approved an
ordinance which guarantees the
payment of $219,000 to EAMC
for the EMS services. According
to Watson, this saves $133,000,
compared to the $352,000 a
year the city is currently putting
into the EMS services.

President Hanly Funderburk in
1983, an allegation Solomon
called "foolishness."
"Funderburk yesterday, Jerry
today and who tomorrow! But
who In hell are they to be able
to surreptitiously destroy the
leaders of Auburn University
with whom they disagree?" the
pamphlet's conclusion states.
Solomon estimated the
postage cost of the mass mailing
at about $25,000, or about $1
per pamphlet, not including
duplication costs.
University Executive Vice
President .George Emert said the
money came from a private
Alumni Association account,
and no state"H.funds Were
involved.
"It would be a serious matter
If University funds were used in
an Inappropriate manner, but
they were not," Emert said
Wednesday.
There Is not much the
administration can do about the
matter, he said, since the
Alumni Association is a
separate corporate entity
although the Alumni and
Development Office staff are
University employees.

Association board of directors

for the mailing, Emert said.
Interim Alumni Association
Director W. Dee Powell said
Wednesday he did not know
who authorized the mailing.
"I wouldn't say we were
authorized to do anything like
that," Powell added.
"If it was done by employees
of the University, then I think
it's appropriate that they be
held responsible for their
behavior," Solomon said. "I
assume if it was done by
employees of the Alumni and
Development office, then they
are employees of Auburn
University.
"Although it may be
technically paid for without
University funds, if it's being
done by University staff and
personnel, I think it's an
appropriate area of concern for
the administration.
"I am surprised at the
continued vehemence by some
of the alums In their criticisms
of the faculty, the president and
the board of trustees, and I'm
not quite sure what the point of
that continued vehemence is,"
Solomon said. "What the Senate
is authorizing me to do (by not
responding to the criticism) is to
close the books on it"
Since Smith's resignation, the
Jefferson County Auburn Club
called for an "emergency
meeting" of national Alumni
Association chapters on June
24. It passed a resolution
accusing the Senate of wrongly
intervening In the Smith affair.
stating "We don't want any more
good men run off by the
University Senate."
In addition, a nine-page letter
dated June 8 and sent to The
Plainsman and other media
organs by Decatur, Ga.,
accountant Tom C. Tabor,
Smith's co-executor of the Lois
Huff estate, accused the Senate
of trying to run the University
"rather than leaving that to the
President and the board of
trustees."
Solomon told the Senate,"I
really do need some advice and
direction from you about what
posture to take when the faculty
is criticized.
"I'm getting very strong and
contradictory advice, and that
advice is on the one hand,
'Don't say anything and let this
thing die its own death;' the
second is, 'If you don't
aggressively defend the Image of
the faculty, who will?'"
Although there was no formal
vote taken, most senators who
spoke at the meeting agreed the
Senate should ignore the
campaigns.
Sciences and Mathematics
Dean Ivan Legg was one of
many at the meeting who
recommended Solomon offer no
response.
"They're pushing you very
hard to respond, and if they
succeed, and you do something,
you may end up in a worse
situation than if you had let it
go," Lege, told Solomon.

Placement office
For years the placement
service has helped students
get jobs upon graduation.
All any student had to do
was sign up with the ser­vice,
and the placement
office would help set up
Interviews for him or her.
But now the service is
only helping the students
who might find jobs any­way
because of their
impressive looks.
A new procedure allows
companies to choose which
students they would like to
interview,. , .-..,. . ; v 0 K
After-attending an orien-tation
meeting, students
who wish to sign up for the
services are required to
submit an application and
at least two resumes to the
placement service.
With the new policy, the
only open spots will be for
times the company has not
filled or if the company
chooses not to use this for­mat.
This system h u r t s the
average or marginal stu­dents,
who need the most
help from the service.
Seniors with impressive
GPAs and resumes are
going to get jobs regardless
of whether they use the
placement service, all they
have to show Is the Initia­tive
to get out and find the
job.
But students who don't
have as impressive a re­sume,
but would do well
enough in the interview
^"process "need this opportu­nity
to get their foot In the
door.
With the growing number
of students who come to
Auburn each year, we agree
that something must be
done to control the amount
of people flooding the ser­vices.
This j u s t does not
seem to be the way.
Drop and add
This quarter marked the
first time that all students
could use the drop-and-add
phone system.
A student who desired to
make a change in his
schedule simply needed a
touch-tone phone.
The Plainsman com­mends
the registrar's office
and encourages more stu­dents
to take advantage of
the new system.
No longer should the
lines in Haley Center
stretch from a classroom's
Bigotry alive
doors to the other side of
the quadrant.
The old system put a
strain on students and pro­fessors
and caused mass
havoc for all those involved,
as we witnessed even at
this quarter's drop and
add.
Although on the new sys­tem
phone lines are kept
busy and classes fill quick­ly,
these problems are the
same ones encountered
anywhere.
At least now we can drop
and add in the comfort of
our own home.
It's sad, but true: A lot of
the discrimination from the
'60s is alive and well today.
Many of last quarter's
graduating seniors who
were members of ROTC
received unsolicited copies
of The Dispossessed Major­ity,
a white supremacist
publication written by
Wilmot Robertson.
A letter accompanying
the book said the students
"were chosen to receive this
book as a graduate of a fine
school because of your
potential for future leader­ship
in society."
It said readers of the
book "will also learn how
our civilization and your
future are being destroyed
by an assortment of ene­mies
including minority
racists, marxists and well-meaning
but misled
members of the majority."
Apparently, distributors
of such unwanted propa­ganda
believe that a person
with a crew cut and a uni­form
will automatically
adopt this belief, despite
his obvious patriotism.
Unfortunately, it is hard­ly
an isolated problem on
campus. Earlier this year.
The Plainsman was ap­proached
with advertise­ments
from another "white
power" group.
One disturbing problem
here is how the organiza­tion
obtained its list of
students in the first place.
Students and alumni
should be outspoken
against such organizations.
Campuses should be a
forum for free thought and
progress, not closed-mind-edness
and backwardness.
Opinion
Tide winning the safety battle 1
i
Back during spring quarter,
newly appointed assistant bas­ketball
coach Ralph Radford
commented about Auburn and
the University of Alabama.
Radford said he didn't think
Auburn people liked to get beat
by Alabama at anything.
Well, coach, we're getting
beat.
It's true we are holding our
own in the athletic competition
side, but the loss is coming on a
much more important field.
Alabama is beating Auburn in
regards to campus safety.
At the end of last quarter,
some of my graduating friends
wanted to take a trip to
Tuscaloosa one night. For me, it
was the first trip to the town
after dark. I've been there a cou­ple
of times in the day.
Walking around the campus
gave me the opportunity to see
the safety measures the campus
has installed.
The first thing I noticed was
how well lit the campus was.
Each building was covered with
Randy
Williams
flood lights and there were
street lights placed in any area
these lights did not hit.
To add more safety to the
area, the campus is covered
with phone hook-ups. These
phones can be seen from long
distances even at night because
of blue lights on top of the
phone boxes which designate
their locations.
These phones are connected
directly to a dispatcher, who
sends a patrol car to the phone
regardless of whether the per­son
says anything. They also
have just installed this system
into all of the elevators on cam­pus.
Rapes have been minimal
during the last five years at
Alabama, according to Chief
Irvin Fields of campus safety. In
fact, In the last three years, only
one rape has been reported, and
that was a date-rape situation.
To make sure the campus is
well-lit in Tuscaloosa, Fields
said, a group is sent out once
each semester to look for places
inadequately lighted. This group
Is made up of students, campus
safety and maintenance office
workers.
Other factors contribute to
the low crime rate, but the
phones and lights help.
With the problems Auburn
has had in the past year, it
looks like some measures
should be taken to make the
area safer.
Women have been attacked,
and say they are afraid to go out
at night because of their safety.
The campus is not well-lit. It's
not even safe for the coeds who
live in the Quad to walk as far
as the library.
Last quarter I had the person­al
misfortune to learn how badly
our campus is lit. A friend's ^car
broke down and we had to walk
to The Plainsman to call and get
help. It was cold, rainy and
pitch-black dark.
The facilities division is mak­ing
improvements on campus,
but they have a lot of catching
up to do. It's certainly better,
but it's only a beginning.
Auburn used to have an
escort service. Students could
call and ask for an escort and
within minutes a guy would be
there to walk with them.
Because volunteers did not con­tinue
to work, the service was
disbanded.
It needs to be started back
The University could also pro­vide
more literature and help
sessions educating students
about safety. Campus safety
would be a good department to
start this, since they are the
ones who are supposed to know
the best safety tips.
We have more students than
Alabama. We should protect
them at least as well.

Chinese now have two options
It's all over but the weeping,
or so they say. The political
turmoil in China has ended
under the oppressive hand of
the Chinese government, leav­ing
scant hope for successful
compromise.
The Chinese government,
which completely controls the
government-owned media, has
published reports that no one
was killed in Tiananman Square
during the protests. These
reports are recognized by the
western world as completely
erroneous propaganda.
The students, and all others
in China hoping for democracy
have but two choices left open
to them. They can:
•live under the current regime
of bloodshed, double-talk, pro­paganda
and oppression.
•start a civil war.
What, you say? Start a civil
war? How can anyone encour­age
war?
Wade
Williams
While war is always the last
option to be chosen, I think the
Chinese in power have made it
clear that all other options are
closed. Peaceful demonstrations
did not work, boycotts and
sanctions from the world will
not work, and minor skirmishes
with the army will not work.
The only thing that those who
desire democracy can do is to
fight. I would hate to see inno­cent
bloodshed as much as any­one,
but the blood that has
already been shed will continue
unless the Chinese government
is overthrown.
If the protesters can get
enough weapons and people to
inflict some damage upon the
army, they should And many
members of the army turning to
their side.
After all, nobody wants to
light for a system which they
don't truly believe in, and the
events of the past weeks have
shown that the majority of the
Chinese people do not believe in
their system of government.
The problem, of course, with
civil war is that if the protesters
should ever begin to get the
upper hand, Russia might, if
they were asked by the Chinese,
step in and lend its support to
keep China from becoming a
democracy.
Should this happen, what
choice would the United States
have but to step in and lend
military support? We are com­mitted
to helping any country
that wants democracy.
Could we stand by and watch
the pro-democracy contingent
be slaughtered, without trying
to help them obtain those basic
rights to which all humans are
entitled?
Don't misunderstand my
words. I am not in favor of war
in China (I'm In the Navy
Reserve, and I'd be among the
first to go), but I'm not sure that
they have any other choice
except to live under oppression.
Perhaps this crisis can be
solved without war or even fur­ther
bloodshed. I certainly hope
so. But let's all hope that the
resolution of the problem does
not include further violence,
oppression or propaganda.

The week in history
10 years ago, 1979: Some Auburn residents were wondering where they may have to relocate

Many of the residents said they had not been aware of the possible extension, one even pointed
