Walton: Veterinary School security adequate
Alison R. Appich
Staff Writer
Despite warnings by a Tennessee
sheriffs department that animal-rights
extremists have threatened to kill one
veterinary dean per month, AUPD
chief Jack Walton said he remains con­fident
that security is adequate for
Auburn's veterinary dean. .
This warning followed the murder of
University of Tennessee's veterinary
school dean, Hyram Kitchen.
"The bulletin we received from Knox
County informed us of the murder, and
asked if we had witnessed similar inci­dents,"
Walton said. "This is nothing
unusual. These things come and go
every day."
The sheriffs department warned
universities nationwide to be wary of
militant animal-rights activists
protesting experiments on animals,
Walton said.
Kitchen was leaving his home on
Feb. 8 at about 6:45 a.m. when he was
shot four times with a small caliber
gun, reports said.
He was hit four more times, includ­ing
two shots to the back of the head,
when he tried to run back toward his
house.
Knox County police have found no
motive for the killing, but said Kitchen
had been an adversary of the groups
for some time.
A member Auburn's chapter of Peo­ple
for the Ethical Treatment of Ani­mals
(PETA), Michael Gamboa, 04
GSY, denied the organization's respon­sibility
for the murder. "I can guaran­tee
that PETA had nothing to do with
the killing.
"Although we oppose animal experi­mentation,
we cannot condone the use
of violence to bring about a change," he
said.
PETA plans to contact Auburn's Vet­erinary
School dean to reassure him
that the group would like to develop
better relations with the college
through cooperation, not violence, he
said.
Auburn is not taking extra precau­tions
to protect the dean at this time,
Walton said.
"The Vet School has a state-of-the-art
security system, he said.

Storms

Auburn
High winds cause
property damage
Debbie Ruyl
Staff Writer
High winds struck Auburn at
about 8 a.m. last Thursday and
caused damage to power lines,
cars and homes.
Marsi Cox, 04 CEC, was stu­dent
teaching at Carey Woods
Elementary School when the
storm hit. Cox's car was de­stroyed
when a tree limb fell on
it in the parking lot.
"Two trees fell at the school;
she said. "One fell onto the
school causing damage to the
media center and the other fell
onto my car. My car was the
only one even touched. It was
squashed, others were just
scratched."
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraterni­ty
was also affected by the
storm.
"Trees knocked down the
power lines at the house and the
power was out from around 8:15
a.m. to 8:30 p.m.," Dave Avant,
04 AC, said.
"A few trees fell onto the drive
and no one could get their cars
out so some brothers rented a
chain saw to cut up the trees,"
he said.
The West Auburn Baptist
Church offered safe housing to
anyone who needed a safe place
to go during the storms, the Rev.
Bob Harvey, pastor of the
church, said.
Cheating forum

Helmi: Cheating 'serious problem'

Even with the storms of late last week, this bird found clear noon weather while perched
in a tree outside the main library. No doubt this fine-feathered friend was looking for a
book worm.
The results of the cheating
survey conducted by the SGA
last quarter were never
released, but a faculty meeting
was held Feb. 22 to discuss the
cheating problem at Auburn,
Keno Helmi, SGA secretary of
academic affairs, said.
"The Academic Affairs Com­mittee,
on behalf of the SGA,
believes that cheating at
Auburn is a serious problem in
need of immediate attention,"
Helmi wrote in an announce­ment
for the meeting.
Members of the SGA met with
faculty to discuss the implemen­tation
of an honor code, Helmi
said.
SGA Adviser Grant Davis
said, the meeting was a forum
for faculty and students to voice
their concerns and discuss the
direction they want to go.
The survey was not discussed
because it is not a valid survey,
Davis said.
Helmi maintains that his sur­vey
was not designed to be a sci­entific
survey, but to substanti­ate
his claims.
"The survey was designed to
give us a premise for our argu­ment,"
Helmi said.

the test passed and met eligi­bility
requirements to run for
office.
A minimum score of 90 per­cent
is required to pass the 30-
question test, and candidates
are able to take the test twice,

The SGA will present a ref­erendum
on this year's ballot
that, if passed, will raise the
GPA requirements for candi­dates
who seek an SGA office.
The referendum would
require a candidate to have a
2.25 at time of qualification,
and if elected the candidate
must maintain a 2.0 through­out
his tenure.
Twenty-five percent of the
student population must vote
in favor of the referendum for
it to be passed, according to

Students march for environment
Eighty Auburn students joined other students in the state
Monday at the state capital to save America's remaining virgin
forests.
The march was part of a nation-wide demonstration "to save
their common inheritance from the short-sighted mismanage­ment
that destroys wilderness."

Texas man jailed for child abuse
Anthony Jimerson, 21, was jailed on $100,000 bail on
charges of causing injury to a child. Jimerson allegedly gave a
5-year-old boy a bottle of bourbon and told him to "drink it like
a man."
Raymond Griffin, who weighs 60 pounds, drank about 10
ounces of bourbon and lapsed into a coma. At one point his
blood-alcohol level was .55 percent. The boy was in critical con­dition
at Cook-Fort Worth Children's Medical Center.
Arts center needed, chairman says
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
The lack of performing arts
facilities at Auburn affects the
Performing Arts Committee's
ability to bring in productions,
according to Ralph Miller, chair­man
of the committee.
"We are the only major uni­versity
in the Southeast that
does not have a quality perform­ing
arts center, and I am embar­rassed
to ask major artists to
perform in a gym," Miller said.
The University spent "hun­dreds
of dollars" to rent ade­quate
lighting facilities for the
production of My Fair Lady
Monday night, he said.
"It keeps costing us money,
and we are asking people to per­form
in unsatisfactory condi­tions,"
Miller said.
Telfair Peet Theatre holds 404
people, and the committee uses
the Coliseum to accommodate
more people for larger perfor­mances,
he said.
The Coliseum does not have
the proper lighting, acoustics or
technical equipment for perfor­mances,
Miller said. 'Tom Spar­row,
(Coliseum director) does an
excellent job in accommodating
us. He just doesn't have the
facilities."
After the Alexander Roy Lon­don
Ballet production in Octo­ber
the committee decided, "it is
in the best interest for everyone
not to bring dance or ballet to
Auburn anymore," Miller said.
The committee decided this
after complaints from its con­stituents,
townspeople and per­formers,
he said.
"(The members of the London
Ballet company) were almost
ready to walk out because of the
facilities," he said. "It took
hours of negotiation to get them
to stay, and even then it was not
a good situation for patrons or
the dancers.
"The Coliseum is not con­ducive
to dance, and we are
eliminating a large part of per­forming
arts by eliminating
dancing."
Director of Planning and
Analysis Gerald Leischuck,
director of Planning and Analy­sis,
"Several years ago there
was a request by the academic
vice president for one (perform­ing
arts center) to be put on a
list of long-term capital needs.
It was put on that list, but that
is as far as it has gotten.
"The Board of Trustees have
not made it a major capital
item," he said.
The list of long-term capital
needs was unavailable at press
time.
President James E. Martin
said, "There are no plans for a
center at this time. We don't
have the money or anywhere to
put one."
Liberal Arts Dean Mary P.
Richards said, "There is a major
gap in Auburn's quest for excel­lence,
and that is the inade­quate
performing arts facilities."
A center would be expensive,
Richards said. "It would take
$20 million in private contribu­tions
and $25 million in state
funds.
"Students need to get behind
a creative and performing arts
center. It is critical to Auburn
and its institutional quality."
Miller said, "A university is
judged by its institutional quali­ty
and Auburn's (environment)
should be balanced with a per­forming
arts center."

Running scared: Women try escaping pain
Victims torn with indecision
to leave, stay with husbands
Ray Jones
Staff Writer
Shame and humiliation usually
prevent victims of abuse from
speaking out.
Often, only the fear for her life gives
a woman the courage to escape her sit­uation.
This same fear sometimes
leaves her at the mercy of her spouse.
According to Sue Helten of the East
Alabama Task Force for Battered
Women, most of the women would
leave the relationship. However, there
are a few reasons they stay.
In addition to fear, women want to
stay with their children. They have an
economic dependence on their spouses.
She believes and hopes he will change,
or she may have nowhere to go, Helten
said.
Other reasons include conflicts in
religious beliefs, isolation, a lack of job
skills, a belief that battering is a nor­mal
part of marriage and a genuine
love for the spouse.
"The man makes her psychologically
dependent on him. By him putting her
down; she develops a sense of worth-lessness.
It gets to the point where psy­chologically
'he's it,' and she can't live
without him," she said.
The task force provides the following
statistics:
• One in four women is abused by
the man she lives with at least once in
her lifetime.
• FBI statistics indicate that a wife
is abused every 18 seconds in the Unit­ed
States.
• Each year, 1.8 million women are
battered by their spouses.
• An estimated 28 million battered
wives live in the United States.
• Seventy-three percent of the sons
in relationships where the wife is bat­tered
will batter their girlfriends or
wives.
• Sixty-five percent of the daughters
in relationships where the wife is bat­tered
will be battered in their adult
lives.
• In 60 percent of the cases where
the wife is physically abused, the chil­dren
are also physically abused.
• In 100 percent of the cases where
there is a child involved in the mar­riage,
the child suffers emotional
Hollie Campbell, 03 GPG, a volun­teer
at the battered wives shelter in
Birmingham, said the suffering of the
children is the biggest travesty.
"The thing that's the saddest is the
children. They are raised in a violent
atmosphere, so they don't get the prop­er
upbringing that they deserve," she
said.
The violence builds gradually
through four distinct levels, Helten
said.
In level one, the pre-physical vio­lence
stage, the husband makes
threats, hits and breaks things around
the house, and makes verbal assaults
on his wife.
It is rare for any action to be taken
by the abused spouse during this
stage, Helten said.
"If someone's putting you down ver­bally
all the time, it's not something
that you'd report to somebody," she
said.
In stage two, the beginning-of-vio-lence
stage, the husband begins push­ing,
shoving and restraining his wife.
It is also rare for the violence to be
reported during this stage.
"Often you might not recognize that
as any problem at all — that's just the
way that men and women get along,"
Helten said.
In stage three, the moderate-level-of-violence
stage, the husband begins
pulling out his wife's hair, and slap­ping,
punching and kicking her.
"Gradually, as it gets worse, you've
got more and more invested in that
relationship," Helten said. "In a rela­tionship,
the more you invest emotion­ally,
the harder it is to say 'this isn't
going to work.'"
In stage four, the stage of the severe
level of violence, the husband begins
choking his wife, beating her with
objects, using weapons and raping her.
By the time the violence gets to this

level, Helten said, the wife may be
safer staying with her husband than
she would be if she left.
"If the battery gets to that point, it is
too late, almost, to decide to leave.
Because once she leaves he is more out
of control than ever," Helten said.
There is insecurity on both sides,
Helten said. Insecurity is the final
stage of the pre-violence cycle.
"In almost all of these relationships,
the woman really believes that if she
was a better wife, he wouldn't beat her.
So they change themselves, always
wanting to do something to change it
in hopes that it will work out."
Male insecurity leads to abuse, Hel­ten
said. "The female learns to nur­ture,
and the male learns aggression in
our society. It's considered weak when

Editors note: The name of the victim
has been changed to protect her identi­ty
Deena Pettit

After three years of marriage
and one of being beaten by her
husband regularly, Sue Jones
decided she'd had enough.
On Sept. 5, 1989, she took the car,
her three children and hasn't looked
back.
"I couldn't take it anymore. I thought
it would get better, and it didn't. I was
afraid for my kids," Jones said.
Every 18 seconds an incident of wife
abuse occurs in the United States, and"
one out of every four females will be
physically or sexually abused by the
time she's 22, according to Amy Nel­son,
a staff member of the East Alaba­ma
Task Force for Battered Women.
The task force, formed in 1980, pro­vides
a temporary shelter known as
Safehouse to give victims a safe place
to spend the night. Its location is confi­dential
to ensure the women's safety.
The task force and Safehouse, found­ed
in 1981, serve a six-county area and
are funded by the United Way, private '
donations and state and federal
monies. Approximately $130,000 a
year is needed to buy food and clothes
and to pay bills and staff salaries.
"We let women know there is a
refuge from violence. We give them 'a=
safe place to get away and let them
make their own decisions," Nelson -
said. "To go back is their choice."
The task force does not tell the vic­tims
what to do. Instead, staff mem­bers
and volunteers offer alternatives.
But if a child is being abused, Nelson
said she intervenes.

counselors are needed to help run the-i

Parental drug use increases child neglect, abuse
Neglect of
kids occurs
everywhere
Jill Waldhour
Staff Writer
In 1988, 604 reports of child
abuse and neglect were
investigated in Lee County
and in 1989 the number
increased to 896.
The 1989 cases involved 1,301
children, of which an estimated
70 percent were neglect cases.
Jesse Reese, child protection
service supervisor, has worked
for the Human Resource Center
since 1985. He said that twice
as many child neglect cases are
investigated in this county of
85,000, compared to other coun­ties
of similar size in Alabama.
"Better reporting from school
teachers, doctors and nurses,
social workers and family mem­bers
is one of the reasons for
this increase (in the number of
cases under investigation),"
Reese said.
"Another reason," he said,
"could be the increase in drug
use among the parents. In many
cases of neglect, we find that
the parents are using drugs,
and we think that this con­tributes
to the inadequate
supervision of the child."
;Neglect is reported when a
c^iild receives inadequate super-

vision, inadequate personal
hygiene, and is malnourished,
abandoned, or medically neg­lected,
Reese said.
The ages range from 1-day-old
to 18-years-old.
Reese has seven workers who
investigate the homes and
schools in which neglect cases
are reported. After the investi­gation,
the parents are inter­viewed.
Shelley Paap/staff
If neglect is apparent, a social
worker is assigned to the home
and attempts are made to cor­rect
the problem.
"Usually only in abuse cases
do we have to take the child out
of the home. But if cases of
neglect are continuously report­ed
from the same home, the
See Neglect, A-12
Child abuse, as defined by Alabama law, is
"harm or threatened harm to a child's
health or welfare which can occur
through non-accidental physical or mental
injury."
Sexual abuse or exploitation or attempted sex­ual
abuse or exploitation is also considered
abuse.
The number of children in Lee County who
have been reported abused or neglected has
increased in the last two years, according to the
Child Protection Service.
Lee County averages 70-75 reported cases of
neglect or abuse reported a month, Jesse Reese,
supervisor of the Child Protection Service, said.
Child neglect is "negligent treatment of mal­treatment
of a child," according to Alabama law.
This includes failure to provide adequate food,
clothing, shelter or medical treatment. "Out of
the 70-75 cases reported about 60 are neglect
cases," he said.
Child abuse can occur in wealthy, middle-class
or low-income homes. People usually think of
abuse as a low- income problem because people
hear about it more in these homes.
'You hear about it more in lower-income fami­lies
because people in the neighborhood tend to
report it more," he said.
"It might occur more in lower-incomefamilies
because lower-income people are deprived of the
necessities of life like food, shelter and medical
attention," he said.
People who work in regular contact with chil­dren
are required by law to report child abuse.
These people are called mandatory reporters.
This includes doctors, nurses, daycare employ­ees,
school teachers, dentists, optometrists, law
enforcement officers and social workers, Reese
said.
If someone who comes into regular contact
with children doesn't report child abuse he can
be charged. It is a misdemeanor punishable by a
six month sentence or a $500 fine.
Anyone can report abuse to the Department of
Pensions and Security at 749-8164.
A neighbor, friend or family member can call
the Department of Pensions and Security and
leave the child's name and address with the
department without leaving his name, Reese
said.
The only way a name would be revealed is if
the courts ordered the person to appear as a wit­ness,
but that is if the case is extreme.
Lee County has good reporters because people
know where and how to report child abuse, he
said.
People in professions at schools are also good
reporters. "In December the reports from schools
dropped from 70 to 49 cases reported because of
the two-week Christmas holiday," he said.
Certainty isn't a factor, if you suspect that a
child, anyone under 18 years of age, is being
abused or neglected you should report it. The
Department of Pensions and Security will pro­vide
protective services for the child while the
case is being investigated.he said.
Lee County Youth Development Center, where
children 12-18 years oldare placed, is sponsored
by the Kings Ranch. Other children are put into
foster care until a family member can be con­tacted.
"About 100 children a month are placed in
foster care," Phillip Anglin, supervisor of Foster
Care, said.
"We try to keep the family together and, in
most cases, the family is reunited," he said.
Only the most severe cases go to trial, for , .
instance if a child's life is in danger.

Eggs fly in E-Day events
Engineers drop eggs, build cars, recruit students
Debbie Ruyl
Staff Writer
One of the highlights of last
Friday's Engineering Day was
the egg drop contest at Haley
Center.
E-Day is sponsored by the
College of Engineering, and is
held to attract high school and
junior college students to
Auburn.
Participants in the egg drop
contest were given eight rubber
bands, two pieces of balsa wood
and two coat hangers to protect
their egg from the heights of
Haley Center.
All materials were of specified
sizes to assure fairness in the
contest, co-winner Rick Willet,
04 CHE, said.
The initial drop is done from
the second floor of Haley Center
onto the courtyard area. From
there, contestants move up one
floor at a time and continue to
drop their egg until it breaks.
"I entered this year because
I've lost for the last three
years," one of the nine partici­pants,
Len Bell, 04 IE, said.
"I've modified the design from
the past three years.
"I came to E-Day in high
school and that was when I first
saw the egg-drop contest."
Willet sa^ 1, "I entered it just
for fun. I saw a friend of mine
win last year, so I decided to
enter."
A new contest was added to E-Day
this year, E-Day coordina­tor
Rod Jenkins said.
"The way the contest runs is
each contestant buys a mouse
trap from us and then builds a
small car powered by the spring
of the trap," Jenkins said. 'You
are penalized for weight and
you gain points for distance.
"E-Day has been going in its
modern format since 1976. We
had approximately 2,300 stu­dents,
counselors and parents
attend this year."
Tape not obscene, jury says
Julie Stephens
Staff Writer
An Alabama record store
manager was found innocent
last week during his appeal on
charges of trafficking obscene
materials.
Tommy Hammond, manager
of Taking Home the Hits
record store in Alexander City,
was arrested June 29, 1988,
for selling 2 Live Crew's Move
Somethin' to an undercover
police officer.
He was fined $500 by a
municipal court judge and
then lost his first appeal in
November 1989, Hammond
said.
Hammond's second appeal
went to Circuit Court in
Alexander City Feb. 19.
The trial ended Feb. 22,
after the jury's hour delibera­tion.
Hammond said he had to
prove the community's stan­dard
of decency was not violat­ed.
"It (Move Somethin') had to
be nastier than the communi­ty's
standards in order for me
to lose," Hammond said.
Eddie Murphy's Raw played
in Alexander City for several
weeks, he said.
"They played the entire film
(Raw) in the courtroom to
show the community's stan­dard
at the time of my arrest,"
Hammond said.
They also listed the movies
and books that are available in
Alexander City, he said.
Three expert witnesses testi­fied
in the trial. Lyle Shook, a
criminal law professor from
Auburn University at Mont­gomery,
testified that the tape
was not dangerous and would
not encourage sexual behavior.
Hammond can now sell the
tape legally.
"The tape is legal to sell to
an adult, anyone over 18," he
said. "I'm not sure it's a law
but I'm not going to take that
risk."

Space station planned
Richard Parker
Staff Writer
Astronaut a n d Auburn graduate Hartsfield discusses space station, Freedom, in p r e ss
conference at Auburn's Space Power Institute Tuesday.
NASA's $24 billion space station, Freedom,
will be completed by 1999, said Henry "Hank"
Hartsfield, who spoke at Auburn's Space Power
Institute Tuesday.
Hartsfield, a 1954 Auburn graduate, is an
active-duty astronaut currently serving as
NASA's temporary director of Technical Integra­tion
and Analysis for the Office of Space Flight-
Space Station at NASA Headquarters in Wash­ington.
"There are things you can achieve on a space
station that you can't achieve on a shuttle,"
Hartsfield said.
A space station offers advantages in life sci­ence
studies, long-term microgravity experi­ments
and the growing of crystals, he said.
"In the last few months, we've made a great
deal of progress in our space program. Many
pre-Challenger problems have been solved," he
said.
The first element of the space station is sched­uled
for launch in March 1995, Hartsfield said.
"The space station program is enjoying stabili­ty
right now."
President George Bush strongly supports the
program, and there has been an increase in
morale since the program's conception, he said.
"Concentration in the space program is now
looking toward the exploitation of knowledge
(gained from previous flights) and science in.
general," Hartsfield said.
Hartsfield said he is excited about research
institutes, such as the Space Power Institute,
participating in the space program.
"I think we need to tie industries and univer­sities
together to solve mutual problems (facing;
the program)," Hartsfield said.
While enrolled at Auburn, Hartsfield studied
physics. During his senior year as an Army
ROTC cadet he signed a commission with the
U.S. Air Force and "discovered flying," he said.
"When (Alan) Sheppard flew (into space), I
knew I wanted to be an astronaut," he said.
Hartsfield applied to NASA in 1966 and has
been on active flight status since 1969. He com­manded
three shuttle missions and has logged
more than 480 hours in space.
Hartsfield flew with Auburn graduate Ken
Mattingly on the fourth mission of the space
shuttle Columbia in July 1982.
Professors expect German reunification; discuss impact
Lebron T. Miles
Staff Writer
The recent negotiations concerning
the reunification of Germany are noth­ing
to be feared, according to some
University professors.
"I think it's a welcome sign that
World War II is over, and that the Cold
War is over. The situation in Europe
has been normalized," according to
Daniel J. Nelson, eminent scholar of
political science and international poli­cy
at Auburn University-Montgomery.
David W. Icenogle, assistant profes­sor
of geography, said the biggest inter­national
impact may be economic.
"The economic impact could be quite
spectacular. West Germany is the No. 4
industrial country in the world. With
the addition of East German resources,
it could rival Japan as an economic
power in 10 years," Icenogle said.
But Michael Melancon, assistant
professor of history, said reunification
could add to problems in West Ger­many.
West German unemployment could
increase because of East Germans
crossing the border in search of jobs, he
said.
West German leaders must convince
East Germans to stay in their country
until the problems can be solved,
Melancon said.
"In the immediate future, it (reunifi­cation)
offers more problems than
advantages. In the long run, it does
vastly increase German economic
impact," he said.
Nelson said, "Germany has the
potential to be the most powerful eco­nomic
state in Europe."
Icenogle said, "A united Germany
would immensely strengthen NATO
and would immensely strengthen the
European Economic Community."
East Germany will contribute a well-educated,
skilled and disciplined work
force to a unified Germany, Icenogle
said.
"The East German population has
the accumulative skills, education and
self-discipline that East German work­ers
have always exhibited," he said.
According to Nelson, the French
reaction to German reunification has
been surprising to many.
"France has been warmer to it than
anyone thought," he said.
People thought the French would
oppose reunification, Nelson said, but
the French and Germans have worked
toward reconciliation since 1963 and
have developed a solid friendship.
"Poland is a little more frightened of
the whole thing," Nelson said.
The Polish want to make sure that
Germany doesn't reclaim land it lost in
World War H, he said.
Icenogle said, "About one-third of
Poland's territory is ex-German territo­ry.
Elements in Poland no doubt fear a
future German attempt to reclaim
those territories.
"There are extremist elements in
Germany that may want to reclaim
this territory, but they're relatively
small in numbers."
All of the professors said they believe
German reunification will happen.
Melancon said, "It looks like it will
(happen) to me because no one in
Europe or anyone else is putting up
any objections."
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev
has said that reunification is a German
issue as long as it does not affect world
security, Melancon said.
Icenogle said, "I think reunification
will happen because of historical unity
and German nationalism."
Nelson said reunification will occur,
but it won't be easy. There will be
hard-nosed negotiations between East
and West Germany, he said.
There will also be tough negotiations
between Germans and the World War
H allies, the Soviet Union, the United
Kingdom, France and the United
States, Nelson said.
"The reunification of Germany shows
that there is a major East-West settle­ment,"
he said. "It is the final proof or
signal that a very basic East-West
understanding, ah ending to the Cold
War, has been reached."

A-6 The Auburn Plainsman March 1,1990
The Circle arrives;
students comment
Andy Flagler
Staff Writer
Minor problems in the print­ing
process slowed down the
publication of this quarter's
The Circle magazine, accord­ing
to editor Rebecca Haack.
The Circle is a general inter­est
magazine for student writ­ers
and artists to express their
ideas and feelings about any­thing
that comes to mind,
Haack said.
"At the beginning of t he
quarter, we had to send out
bids for submission," Haack
said. "We had to wait for the
bids to come back.
"It turns out the bids were
never sent to the University
printers. Therefore, we could
not get them back in the first
place. It will never happen
again."
The Circle accepts poetry,
essays and a variety of articles
for publication.
All submissions received are
evaluated and scored by the
staff. Scores reflect the
writer's technical skill and the
work's general aesthetic value,
she said.
The scores are averaged,
and the staff determines
which works are to be pub­lished,
Haack said.
Sam Funderburk, 03 MN,
said, "I wish I could write like
that, in terms of poetry and
artistic value. It j u s t doesn't
come naturally for me to be
able to elaborate in print those
types of art form."
Leslie Larson, 03 IB, said, "I
feel it is necessary to dream.
Your mind possesses a won­derful
imagination that
expresses what we have been
given in life, and if you are
able to write what you feel, I
think that's great."
The main problem for The
Circle is getting submissions
from students, Haack said.
Of the 11 articles printed
this quarter, four of them were
by staff members.
Mark Smith, 04 PRS, said
this issue, although it was
short, had a lot of quality. He
said the content was vigorous
and the poetry struck the
heart.
"I felt 'Birth Of Love' by
Robert Penn Warren was easy
to read and it left a satisfying
message. The entire magazine
was a sweet break from typical
class books. I enjoyed it very
much," Smith said.
The magazine is staffed by
Auburn students. Faculty
members and the editorial
board add input.

Cyclist wins 8
Student pedals to national title —
Sarah Ramay
Staff Writer
The concept is usually easier
said than done, but Glen
Granberry used the unicycle to
master mind over matter.
Granberry, 02 ME, is t he
national champion of the Unicy-cle
Society.
"I'm most proud of the fact
that I've accomplished some­thing
so unique and perfected
the art of unicycling," Granber­ry
said.
He has won the national title
in his age group for eight years.
He said the ability came natu­rally,
even though he works to
perfect tricks.
"I don't win all of them
(events and races). I usually win
the specialty races, and I've won
the 'slow race' every time, I
think," he said.
"You're on a 10-meter long
board, which is about one-half of
a meter thick. You have to ride
as slow as possible."
He has also won the walk-the-wheel
race, he said. Instead of
using pedals, the wheel is pro­pelled
by feet.
Granberry usually competes
in late July for two days. Speed
races and specialty races are
the first day. The second day is
for artistic riding, which
includes routines with music,
trick riding and couples' rou­tines,
he said.
"Through the unicycle, I've
been able to meet people all over
the country," Granberry said.
Unicycling has affected the
entire family. Granberry, his
parents and 15-year^old brother,
Dale, all compete in the national
meets.
His father, Seth Granberry,
was the international champion
for his age group one year, and
his brother, Dale, has won the
national title in his age group
for six years.

Fulbright grant sends professor to Egypt
Diane B. Clifton
Staff Writer
David W. Icenogle, an assis­tant
professor in the Auburn
department of geography, has
been awarded a Fulbright Com­mission
research grant for study
in Egypt.
"I will be based in Cairo and
will be doing research at the
Egyptian National Archives and
the Egyptian Geographical Soci­ety,"
Icenogle said.
He said he plans to do
research in Alexandria and
hopes to travel throughout the
country.
Tom Martinson, head of the
geography department, said,
"It's a source of great pride and
national recognition for all of
this department. We're excited,
enthusiastic and proud for
David."
Icenogle, one of five geogra­phers
receiving Fulbright grants
in the United States for 1988-
89, will research an American
military expedition in Egypt
from 1869-83, he said.

was composed of 25 former con­federate
officers and 25 former

Its purpose was to train and
educate officers and cadets of
the Egyptian Army, according to
Icenogle.
"I will be looking for unpub­lished,
unprinted materials,
maps, reports, letters, drawings
and paintings, relating to those
expeditions," Icenogle said.
The paintings he will be
searching for are landscapes
painted in Ethiopia by Samuel
H. Lockett, a former confederate
colonel and Alabamian, he said. '
"The Alabama Department of
Archives and History in Mont­gomery
has 12 of Lockett's
watercolors completed in
Ethiopia in 1876," Icenogle said.
The 12 paintings were copied
from the originals and were
taken back to the United States,
he said.
Lockett was responsible for
compiling the Great Map of
Africa in 1877, he said.
"The map would total 10 feet
by 16 feet in size and contains
7,000 place names," Icenogle
said.

Board commends Martin
Elizabeth Lander
Staff Writer
The University Board of Trustees passed a
resolution Friday commending President James
E. Martin on his first six years as chief execu­tive.
The resolution commends unprecedented
improvement in all operations since Martin
became president on Feb. 15,1984.
Martin said he saw a great deal of potential in
Auburn when he arrived.
"I used my experience with six other universi­ties
in determining what areas to work on," he
said.
Martin said he attributes his success to the
hard work of the faculty and staff.
"I focused on increasing facilities, developing
a continuing education complex, membership in
the Association of Research Libraries and
increasing the number of graduate students on
campus.
"The best way to improve the undergraduate
experience is to have a larger proportion of our
student body graduate students," he said.
Graduate students provide role models as
serious students, he said.
Funding comes from a variety of sources.
State funding has fluctuated, but there has been
tremendous support from the alumni, he said.
"Many of the people who make contributions
to the athletic program make even larger contri­butions
to the academic program of that same
university," he said.
Faculty has also played a major part by rais­ing
research money, he said.
Previously, financial aid was only available to
students if their parents qualified, he said.
"Auburn was woefully short on monies to pro­vide
scholarships for talented students," he said.
Now students whose parents do not quali­fy
on a need basis have an opportunity to
receive scholarships through the License to
Learn program, he said.
"Another change is the new curriculum. I see
this as a move in the right direction. The cur­riculum
will significantly improve the educa­tional
experience for the students," he said.
Four years is no longer considered the norm,
he said.
The University is going to continue to develop.
This year $50 million of construction is planned
to begin, he said.
The construction will include new greenhous­es,
a life sciences building, a swim center,
improvements in the vet school, an administra­tion
building, an aerospace engineering class
facility and repairs to Haley Center, he said.
University gets $200,000
Serge Lecomte
Staff Writer
The College of Liberal Arts
and the College of Engineering
each received $100,000 grants
for the new core courses and a
computer network in the engi­neering
schools.
The money, given by South
Central Bell, will go toward
computer-enhanced lecture
rooms and laboratories in the
College of Liberal Arts.
The computers will give stu­dents
who enter under the new
core curriculum a chance to get
some hands-on experience, Lib­eral
Arts Dean Mary Richards
said.
"The money will be used to
equip two lecture rooms with a
number of machines and soft­ware
for students in the core
curriculum," she said.
"There is a proposal with a
computer company to see if they
will work jointly to double or
triple the funds South Central
Bell donated."

- Mary Richards
A preliminary proposal is in
the works with the computer
company, which has a matching
grant program. The proposal
will be presented within the
next two to three weeks, Associ-at
Dean for Research David
Hiley said.
"We will have a formal propos­al
late spring and hope it will be
a success," Hiley said.
One room will have 50-80
machines with controls separat­ed
by a large sheet of glass so
the instructor can observe the
students, Associate Professor of
Psychology William Buskist
said.
"It will enhance computer lit­eracy
for the new students in
liberal arts," he said.
The psychology department
isn't necessarily going to be the
first to use the computers, he
said.
The College of Engineering
will use its grant to help fund
the $5 million computer net­work
system it is planning.
The rest of the money will
come from other corporate spon­sors
and alumni, Director of
University Relations for Engi­neering
Jim Killian said.
Initially there will be 64 work­stations
established which will
grow into 200 during the next
few years, Killian said. The
workstations will link all the
engineering schools together.

Shaw said.
"The town of Auburn has
gotten involved with this pro­ject,"
Shaw said, "and they
needed groups in the commu­nity
to participate.
"It entails groups volunteer­ing
to clean up one mile of a
community road. It's a two-year
commitment."
"Professor's Night Out" was
another program honored. It is
a free babysitting service
offered to faculty. Each quar­ter,
two sororities are asked to
host the program.
"The faculty is very appre­ciative
of this service," Shaw
said.
The third commended activi­ty
is the "Sorority Participa­tion
Request Statement," she
said.
The statement calls for
approval from all sororities to
participate in competitive
events that are sponsored by
fraternities or other groups
requesting the sororities' par­ticipation,
she said.
"What it (the statement)
basically says is that women
should not participate in activ­ities
that are in any way
demeaning or degrading or
that cause an unhealthy com­petition
between sororities,"
Shaw said.
The statement was proposed
in reaction to a mud wrestling
event two years ago, she said.
The Auburn Panhellenic
Council also received the
SEPC Excellence Award for
raising the most money for its
conference philanthropy.
Auburn raised $500 for Project
Literacy United States, she
said.

A-8 The Auburn Plainsman March 1,1990
Veterinary School safe;
security not increased
continued from A-l
"We try to be pro-active,
rather than re-active, but the
rumor of one assassination per
month is so unconfirmed that
we aren't doing anything out of
the ordinary," Walton said.
Walton advised the veterinary
school dean not to comment
about the situation, he said.
"The more publicity this gets,
the more problems we'll have
with copycat incidents," Walton
said.
Concerning the safety of vet­erinary
school students and pro­fessors,
Walton said, "I'm not
worried at this point. If we do
receive any direct threats of vio­lence,
they will be dealt with."
Forum discusses code
continued from A-l
Approximately 700-800
scantron surveys were dis­tributed
to the deans of vari­ous
schools. The deans then
gave the surveys to the profes­sors
to be distributed to stu­dents.
The survey cost less
than $50 and substantiated
his claim, Helmi said.
Davis said, "If we have a
cheating problem on this cam­pus,
it is a concern to all of us
connected with the Universi-ty."
In addition to the implemen­tation
of an honor code, Helmi
said he would like to see
improved communication with
professors.

All candidates were required
to take a candidacy test and
only those running for presi­dent,
vice president, treasurer
or senator had to take the
finance test, she said.
Although half the candi­dates
failed the test, the num­ber
is not unusually high, she
said.
"These numbers are in
accord with what happened
last year. It is a high number,
but it's always high," she said.
Presidential candidates
Terry McCarthy, 04 FI, and
Tim Stocksdale, 04 FI, met
test requirements. Stocksdale
retook the test because he
failed the original test.
"I didn't do as well on the
finance test because I was tied
up with (Budget and Finance)
most of the night. I passed it
when I ran for senator and
treasurer, but it turned out to
be more difficult than I
thought," Stocksdale said.
McCarthy is the current
administrative vice president
and Stocksdale is treasurer.
All candidates running for
vice president passed the orig­inal
test, according to Huddle-ston.
Kevin King, 03 PB, with­drew
from the treasurer's race
Tuesday, King said.
Pat Joyce, 03 HRM, and
Mark McKinnon, 03 AC, are
eligible to run for treasurer.
Joyce took the finance test
twice, and McKinnon passed
the original test.
"We had a group project and
we were burning the midnight
oil.' I wish the SGA would
have had the review test earli­er,"
Joyce said. "I could either
do what I had committed
myself to do, my project, or
study for the test which I
knew I could take again."
Three of the senate candi­dates
did not meet the test
requirements on both tests.

Curtain call
ONE LITTLE, TWO LITTLE, three little priori­ties.
And none of them where they should be. And
unfortunately, once again, it will be the arts that
suffer.
The University's list of capital projects is but 10 items
long, and a proposed performing arts center is right where
you would expect it to be - at the bottom of that list.
When the production of My Fair Lady hit Auburn's stage
this week, it did so in the heart of cultural bliss, Joel
Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. It was the best Auburn had to
offer for the event, and that's a crying shame.
It seems Auburn only knows how to put on a show with
top-notch productions at Jordan-Hare Stadium starring
the best of the best in collegiate football.
So why do the arts — and Auburn easily harbors as much
performing and artistic talent as our beloved football team
- always seem to take a seat in the nosebleed section?
The Performing Arts Committee is pushing for the
development of such a project, but it will take more than
just plans and funding. It needs as much campuswide sup­port
as the students, faculty and administration can give.
Only then will we see results.
For the people
AUBURN'S CITY COUNCIL has had its share of
controversy this year, especially with the difficul­ties
the Council has had resolving conflicts over
Martin Luther King Park, but things went a bit too far at
the Feb. 20 Council meeting.
In its committee of the whole meeting, Mayor Jan
Dempsey and the rest of the Council were met with sharp
criticism by members of the Committee for Political and
Social Change, who claimed the city has been lax in devel­oping
the park to a standard at least high enough to exem­plify
the life of its namesake.
In her dealings with these members of her constituency,
Dempsey gave in to bursts of defensiveness, especially
when the city's record on racial issues was questioned.
"I applaud the record of this council and resent your
coming here and telling us what is fair and not fair," she
said.
And in regard to the city's stand on racial equality,
Dempsey's comments may very well be true. But when a
public official like the mayor gets defensive with members
of her constituency, it can only hurt the official's image
and that of the city she represents.
This situation is especially volatile because there are
residents who feel that the park was simply an act of
appeasement to the black community of Auburn. And in
future dealings with such members of the community, it is
hoped Dempsey will remember her position was created
"by the people, for the people."
fGood news...1
ONE AUBURN PROFESSOR may modestly be
thinking "Roll Tide" to himself after the University
of Alabama Press nominated his book for the ven­erable
Pulitzer Prize.
Dr. Wayne Flynt, an Auburn history professor, will find
out this spring if his book, Poor But Proud: Alabama's
Poor Whites, is worthy of the coveted award. In the past 12
years, the UA Press has only nominated two books for this
award.
Receiving the Pulitzer Prize would not only be a great
honor for Dr. Flynt^but a much needed boost for academic
honors here at Auburn.
Physical plant reams University
What a ream job.
Go over to Mary Martin Hall -
you know, where the admis­sions,
registrars and financial
aid offices are - and look at that
ramp out front.
The Committee for Persons
with Disabilities, that paid for
construction of the ramp, was
originally charged $11,000 by
the facilities division to con­struct
the ramp. Luckily for
everyone involved, the bill was
contested, and the physical
plant discovered that the bill
had been sent twice and that
the real cost was $8,300.
The physical plant feels that
this is a reasonable cost because
of the amount of labor and extra
equipment involved with the
construction.
And, given, that may be a rea­sonable
cost for the ramp, but
let me show you some other
"reasonable charges" sent by the
physical plant.
Take a look at the following
physical plant bills to student
organizations on campus:
• The University Program
Council was charged $194 to
"deactivate the lower quad
lights" on three dates. How can
turning off lights cost close to
$200?
• The UPC was charged $216
last year to pick up and set up a
Christmas tree outside Foy
Union. Bah Humbug!
Paul
DeMarco
Editorial
Assistant
• The Auburn Plainsman
was billed $31.95 this summer
to - and this is the truth - to
open a jammed file cabinet. All
they did was get a screwdriver
and jimmy the lock.
• When the 1987 Organiza­tions
Day was over, the SGA
was stuck with a bill of about
$3,000 for setting up 85 tables
and 170 chairs. They contested
the outrageous bill, but to this
date the SGA is still getting
statements for that amount.
These are just a few of the
examples, and I would love for
the different departments to
send in examples of similar bills
they've received. There are
probably even more ridiculous
examples out there of this fraud
by the physical plant.
Of course, the physical plant
should charge for work done,
but are these charges reason­able?
Paving roads and fixing bro­ken
windows or doors costs
money, but if you look at what
the physical plant charges in
some instances, you have to
wonder where all the money is
going.
Why is Auburn overcharging
its own departments and orga­nizations?
Somewhere along the
way someone got the idea that it
is OK to rip off these depart­ments.
Why is it that the campus and
the organizations are always
Andrew Anderson/staff
having to fight the University?
Ask any department head what
they think of the physical plant
and I think they will agree. I
don't blame the physical plant
itself. I blame the administra­tion
higher-ups who put greed
above fairness. Point made?
The $11,000 bill for the
wheelchair ramp was an honest
mistake, but the bills currently
charged by the physical plant
are anything but honest.
If it were left up to those who
need access to buildings via a
ramp, they probably would be
just as happy spending half that
amount and using the money to
construct other ramps around
campus where necessary.
Randy McDaniel, the chair­man
of the committee, said that
in the future they will get esti­mates
before they fund any new
ramps.
Bad news buddy, but I was
told that in some instances the
physical plant has made esti­mates
to renovate or do the
work and then sent a bill for
more than 50 percent of the
original estimate. Why even do
the estimate?
All of the organizations I have
talked to have contested bills
with the physical plant before,
but unfortunately, unless some­one
demands ethical changes,
this fraud will continue.
SGA: 'What does this mean to me? f
In about a month, students
will go to the ballot boxes to
vote in their next SGA officers,
and already complaints about
lack of issues are heard.
Well, here's an issue for you.
About half of the SGA candi­dates
that took a required
finance test failed. But, lucky
for them, SGA offers a second
chance to pass the test.
The finance test is required
for all candidates running for
executive offices which include
president, vice president, trea­surer
and those running for sen­ator.
Of the nine candidates run­ning
for an executive office,
three failed the test (one recent­ly
dropped out of the campaign).
Granted, a score of 90 percent
is required to pass the exam,
and candidates are assured they
can take the test a second time.
But shouldn't a candidate who
pledges to represent all students
be knowledgeable about running
Emily
Riggins
Assistant
News Editor
the SGA without having to be
tested twice?
Although I too fear being
linked with other accused "SGA
bashers" on staff, a finance test
should be taken more seriously
the first time it is given, or it
should be given only once.
The reason the SGA adminis­ters
the test is to help prepare
candidates for office, and the
students need to take advantage
of the opportunity.
And the elections board is not
the problem. A lackadaisical
attitude from potential candi­dates
is the problem.
Perhaps if the candidates
knew The Plainsman planned to
report who failed the test (as on
A-l), they would have studied.
Perhaps.
The candidates are not the
only ones to blame for the low
test scores. It seems some candi­dates
believe the myth that the
first test is not important
because answers will be posted,
and candidates can memorize
the answers and pass the test
the second go around.
You may be asking, "What
does this mean to me?"
Well, perhaps nothing. But
every quarter when tuition is
paid, a portion of student activi­ty
fees are allocated to pay SGA
officers' salary — if you consider
about $100 each month a salary.
And is it too much to assume
that SGA candidates are run­ning
because they are interested
in the office and not to add more
lines to their resume?
Take for instance the office of
treasurer. Many candidates who
have run for the office have
business majors such as
accounting or finance.
But when these candidates
are not able to pass a finance
test, either their major is use­less,
or they didn't feel com­pelled
to look over notes that
would qualify them, if elected,
to be one of the most influential
students on campus.
When test results have a 50
percent failure rate, something
is wrong. The SGA held a
review for candidates the night
before the test was given.
Maybe the review was held too
close to the test date, or maybe
the candidates forgot to take
notes. Maybe.
Either way, if SGA candidates
expect students to take notice of
their authority, they should
respect the SGA's electoral pro­cess.
A good way to do this might
be for candidates to learn their
stuff the first time around so
that columns can review platr
forms, not test grades.
Wake up candidates, April 5 is
sooner than you think.
More than a number, it's a tradition
A couple of days ago, when I
was cavorting about with my
amigos Scott and Laura in
Birmingham on a weekend
excursion-of-sorts, we came
upon a wacky little phrase that
we couldn't justifiably explain.
It involves the word "five."
Nothing too shocking or compli­cated,
right?
Ponder for a moment the
numerous times you have said
to your buddy, 'Yo baby, gimme
five!" Well, exactly why must a
person give five? Why can't you
say "Home slice! Gimme 13-20
on the dark side, slick!"
I realize that this phrase is
prompted by the presence of five
fingers on each hand. But you
gotta ask yourself: Why is it
that we have five fingers? Why
not seven or 12? At least this
would explain clocks.
This brought to mind the
phrase "Five o'clock shadow."
Have you ever known someone
to have a "7:26 shadow"? How
about a 9:12? It j u s t wasn't
adding up.
And why is it that my life
deals only in $5 bills? Five
bucks for gas. Five for food. Five
more for a movie. Even when I
spend $20, I think of it as four
fives. This is odd.
What about the mysterious
Adrienne
Gilmore
Assistant
Village Life Editor
Jackson 5 of Michael, Randy,
Tito, Marlin and Jermaine
fame?
Some think that there are six
Jacksons (if you include Janet),
but I have always held the belief
that there were actually only
five Jacksons, because as far as
I'm concerned, Janet and
Michael are the same person in
one funky li'l bod.
Have you ever noticed that
you never see both Janet and
Michael in the same place at the
same time? Or that they tour in
cycles? How about the unusual
femininity of Michael's voice?
Uh huh. You get the picture,
don't cha?
Then there's the famed "Five
o'clock traffic." Where is the
8:42 traffic? Oh yeah, most jobs
are nine-to-five.
On close inspection (or severe­ly
excessive viewing), one can
hear the word "finski" in the
films Ferris Bueller's Day Off
and Weird Science.
This word is exchanged in the
former when Ferris gives
Cameron the confidence of leav­ing
his dad's Ferrari with the
downtown garage attendants by
slipping him a "finski."
Would these greasy Chicanos
have taken that car for a joyride
if they had, perchance, slipped
them a "tenski?" The mind just
has to ask these thought-pro­voking
questions.
Five-and-dime stores at least

Ever gone into a store and

Movies often give fake phone

Ne'ertheless, it's something to

Defeat a disappointment
Editor, The Plainsman:
Auburn's Socialist communi­ty
wishes to express its disap­pointment
at the news of the
recent electoral loss by the
Sandanista government to the
U.S.-bought-and-paid-for UNO
alliance led by the American
puppet, Violetta Chlmorro.
We believe that the defeat of
the Sandanistas and the inter­ruption
of the Nicaraguan rev­olution
wal occasioned less by
any popular expression of "free
will" than by the intimidation
of the Nicaraguan people by
U.S. military threats against
Nicaraguan sovereignty.
It was also occasioned by
the Nicaraguan people's
awareness of the United
States' history of bloody impe­rialist
aggression against
Latin American governments
of which it does not approve,
the obscene amounts of Ameri­can
money spent on subversion
of the Nicaraguan state and
the corruption of its electoral
process.
With the eventual collapse of
this parody of a political party,
we are confident that the San­danistas
will regain and finally
consolidate their rightful
power in order that they may
continue to guide the transfor­mation
of Nicaraguan society
from its ugly Samozista past to
a promising socialist future.

Flat Duo Jets 'damn good*
Editor, The Plainsman:
Kyle Washington certainly
didn't seem too awfully
impressed with the debut
album from the Flat Duo Jets.
Although I personally hap­pen
to dig the Jets, it is not a
difference of opinion that
prompted me to write this let­ter.
First of all, Washington
describes the album as "uno­riginal."
There's a reason it
sounds unoriginal; it's because
12 of the 14 cuts on the record
are covers.
Washington says Crow
"plays his drums too loud," but
that he can't be blamed
because Mark Bingham did
the mixing on the record.
Actually, there was no mix­ing
involved. As it says on the
album jacket, the album was
recorded live to two track.
Maybe the Jets don't have
the slick, polished sound of
some of the other bands
around, but it's exactly that
rawness — that uncontrived,
straight-ahead honesty - that
makes them what they are.
And I'd say it's a damn good
debut record.

Thanks to Veterinary staff
Editor, The Plainsman:
By writing this letter to the
editor, it is our hope that this
expression of our appreciation
will reach all involved.
Recently we experienced the
birth of our first foal. What a
thrill! Two weeks later we ran
into some problems.
Knowing the excellent care
that the mother, Kissa,
received for a broken shoulder
two years earlier at the
Auburn University Large Ani­mal
Clinic, we placed a call to
the Auburn Veterinary staff.
Had the animal been their
own, I feel no better care could
have been given. The staff
from the students to the head
doctor were involved with lov­ing
and caring concern until
the death of our Kissas Full
Moon.
We want to express our
thanks for lightening the trau­ma
during this deeply emo­tional
crisis in our lives. In the
future, we hope other animal
lovers will take our advice and
call you for help in their time
of need.

Sullivan's views contradicted
Auburn no place
for dogmatism
Editor, The Plainsman:
The beliefs Paul Sullivan
espoused in his letter to the
editor 2/22 would be better
promulgated in the Sunday
school of your church, for they
do not belong in any universi­ty.
Frankly, we are offended. An
institution of higher learning
is one in which many different
ideas must be expressed. That
is at least ostensibly, Auburn
University's purpose.
I t should not serve as a
breeding ground for dogma­tism.
The view that a faculty
member should be removed for
beliefs contrary to that of oth­ers
is odious and contrary to
the separation of church and
state that is at the heart of our
constitution...

Education should
be made private
...Delos McKown advocates
views that may or may not be
correct, but as a citizen of the
United States of America and
as a human being, he has the
right to do that.
Not unless it is demonstrat­ed
that Professor McKown
uses his position as a. philoso­phy
teacher to advocate his
views (in class and as he
grades his students) is he vul­nerable
to Mr. Sullivan's
charges.
Finally, if Mr. Sullivan does
not like it that professors who
disagree with him teach at
Auburn University, he can pri­vatize
the school and try to
make it into a church or a
place like Bob Jones Universi­ty.
I, too, lament the fact that
citizens who don't approve of
Auburn University as Mr. Sul­livan
evidently does not, are
forced by lav/ to support it. But
the answer to that problem is
to privatize education, not to
force their views that do not
accord with that of some mem­bers
of the state population.
Tibor R. Machan

Speaking one's mind
preserves freedoms
...According to Paul Sulli­van,
we can look back upon
Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates
(just to name a few) as being
wrong in their thoughts and
ideas, sinners, and without
morals.
Who is to say Delos McK-own's
thoughts are not just as
important as Plato's or mine?
Certainly not Mr. Sullivan. I
don't believe he has completely
taken into consideration all
the aspects or implications of
his position...
...In order to preserve our
great freedoms and liberties as
Americans and human beings,
we must allow Paul Sullivan
and people like him to speak
their minds but take what
they say with a grain of salt.

McKown's teaching
stresses tolerance
...Paul Sullivan suggests
that we should pay no atten­tion
to a non-believer's inter­pretation
of the Bible. He
seems to mean that a non-believer
cannot understand the
meaning of the Bible.
Here, I would like to point
out that Delos McKown has
attended some of the finest
seminaries in the world, and
surely has a better under­standing
than most people....
...Finally, Mr. Sullivan asks,
"Do we really want the McK-owns
of this world helping
form the beliefs of Auburn stu­dents"?
My reply is: Yes, I would
much prefer to be taught a
value system that stresses for­mation
of and tolerance for
individual beliefs than one
based on the mandates of a
2,000-year-old mixture of Jew­ish
law and fairy tales...
Bryan Patton

Students can form
individual opinions
...Paul Sullivan acts as if he
doesn't have faith in Auburn
students to form their own
opinions about the existence of
God. This is an insult and
taken as such.
All teachers should promote
individualized thought. There
is no benefit gained from
putting blinders on students.
That is not education, al­though
this seems to be what
Sullivan wants.
Sullivan himself may not be
able to "separate his beliefs
about religion from philosophi­cal
discussions" — although it
is doubtful he has ever had a
philosophical discussion — but
he has no basis for making
such claims that Delos McK­own
can not make that distinc­tion.

Glance back
5 years ago, 1985: The Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill that would prohibit
those under the age of 21 from buying any type of alcoholic beverages after the summer of '86.
10 years ago, 1980: Animal control officers in accordance with a city ordinance governing leash
laws, announced a "dog sweep operation" to impound dogs in violation of the ordinance. A group of
10 Auburn dog owners indicated to the Auburn City Council that it would file a class action suit
against the city for "illegal confiscation" of their dogs.
20 years ago, 1970: The SGA announced that 25 percent of the student body would have to vote
on a proposed SGA Constitution for it the outcome to be official. Four major changes were included
in the new constitution - a more specific preamble, a larger Student Senate, the transfer of alloca­tion
of student activities fees to the Senate and the abolition of the office of secretary and expansion
of treasurer's duties.
Quote of the week
"This is nothing unusual. These things come and go every day." - AUPD Chief Jack Walton, on the
threat by an animal extremist group to kill one veterinary school dean each month for 12 months,
following the murder of University of Tennessee Veterinary School Dean Hyram Kitchen.

Ku Klux Klan alive, well
Editor, The Plainsman:
I hate to be the bearer of bad
news, especially in the celebra­tion
of Black History Month,
but the Ku Klux Klan is alive
and well at Auburn University.
The other day I stepped on
an elevator in Haley Center to
hear a man and a woman
openly conversing about the
Klan.
In fact, the woman was read­ing
some sort of handout or
application with the words "Ku
Klux Klan" across the top in
bold print, and the man was
explaining the different groups
within the Klan to her.
Apparently, they have
"Women of the Klan: and even
(God help them) "Children of
the Klan" in order to "keep the
family unity," he said.
This elevator trip was the
biggest disappointment I've
experienced since I've been
here at Auburn, and I gradu­ate
next quarter.
I never thought these nar­row-
minded, ignorant people
would be able to infiltrate such
an enlightened and progres­sive
place as a university cam­pus.
I guess I was wrong.
If anything good has come
out of this, it is that I am
reminded that everyone hasn't
reached the intellectual and
educational level to have
enough self-esteem to consider
themselves equal to others.
White supremacists must
find someone "to be better
than." Well, to those people on
the elevator, I say this:
Thank you for showing me
that people like you are still
out there, and we decent moral
people still have a lot of work
to do. There's still a great need
for education, and I hope Black
History Month will help.

'...editor reveals ignorance1
Editor, The Plainsman:
"Plainsman Editor Reveals
Ignorance" seems most appro­priate
to title this letter in
response to Paige Oliver's col­umn,
"Student Leaders.Clutch
Nepotism."
Accuracy and credibility are
the hallmarks of journalism,
but it is a poor example set
when the editor does not dis­play
either.
The sad fact is that the inac­curacies
and untrue informa-
. tion reported by Miss Oliver
not only hurts the SGA, but
the student body as a whole.
Miss Oliver addresses three
areas where student leader­ship
is involved that she obvi­ously
does not know the facts,
the simple facts.
. In her column last week,
Miss Oliver stated that the
SGA president arbitrarily
appoints students to the Com­munications
Board, Election
Board and Traffic Appeals
Board.
If she only took the time to
study her Tiger Cub she would
know that this is not true.
Miss Oliver praises the Com­munications
Board's "experi­enced
faculty guidance imme­diately
accessible to students."
Let me point' out that it is
this same group of "praised"
faculty that make student
nominations to the chair of the
Board.
These nominations are in
' turn presented to and voted on
by the student Senate made up
of 34 elected students repre­senting
the entire student
body.
On the Elections Board, four
members serve by virtue of
position because they are expe­rienced
in the operation of the
SGA. Two senators and one at-large
student are selected by a
two-thirds vote of the elected
student Senate.
On the Traffic Appeals
Board, students are inter­viewed
and recommendations
are made to the elected stu­dent
Senate from the SGA
president. A two-thirds vote by
the student Senate is neces­sary
to approve these recom­mendations.
The same process exists for
faculty membership through
the faculty president and Uni­versity
Senate. I fail to under­stand
Miss Oliver's claim of
"arbitrary appointments" to
any of these three boards.
In response to Miss Oliver's
concern for "objectivity," we
must realize that there is no
such thing as complete objec­tivity
in this world. But I feel
that the student representa­tion
on these boards has
demonstrated honesty and
integrity.
As a matter of fact, I think
Miss Oliver can attest to the
"objectivity" of the Communi­cations
Board this past year
concerning her qualifications
and actions.
While the "objectivity" of
these boards has been ques­tioned
by Miss Oliver, I must
in turn question her "objectivi­ty"
as well. It seems that Miss
Oliver shows subjectivity in
her Feb. 22 column toward a
particular SGA candidate in
her relationship with him. Is
this double standards on Miss
Oliver's part?
Miss Oliver, it is comforting
to see that you have finally
taken on a column of signifi­cance
to the Auburn student ;
body. But before you make the
leap from "MRS. degree in 5
simple steps" to an advanced
editorial critiquing the SGA,
you need more research and
facts rather than your baseless •
babble and chatter. The
Plainsman has been through .
enough controversy this year
without you causing even
more.
By the way, you might want
to check the real definition of
nepotism in your Webster's
Dictionary. My brother gradu- •
ated three years ago!

A-12 The Auburn Plainsman March 1,1990
Safehouse helps families get new start
continued from A-3
task force and Safehouse.
Forty-one volunteers have
completed a 10-hour training
program that teaches them
how to talk with abused
women, Nelson said.
A woman and her children
are allowed to live at the Safe-house
for up to 30 days. If 30
days have passed, but she is
looking for a place to live, then
the women can stay longer. It
depends on what the woman is
doing to help herself, Nelson
said.
If a woman calls after 5 p.m.
she will reach the 24-hour hot­line.
The hotline operators put
the woman in touch with a vol­unteer.
If a woman needs to get
away and needs a place to
stay, the volunteer arranges to
meet her at a public place.
A hospital or the police
department is the safest
because there are guards, Nel­son
said. Then the victims are
taken to the Safehouse.
Once the woman reaches the
Safehouse, she is met by a
night-time counselor.
Penny Pilati volunteers as a
counselor.
"We are there as listeners. If
they want to talk, they 11 open
up. Some talk, some don't,"
Pilati said.
There are no guidelines to
who's a batterer or who's an
abuser, according to Nelson.
She's talked to professors'
wives, doctors' wives and
lawyers' wives, Nelson said.
"Rape and battering is more
prevalent than people think in
Auburn," Nelson said.
Last year 90 women and 212
children sought shelter at
Safehouse. Last September,
Safehouse housed nine women
and 24 children, she said.
Jones and her children
stayed at Safehouse for two
weeks. They only had the
clothes they were wearing
because her husband burned
the others.
The Joneses dated a year
before they married. He wasn't
abusive, and she said she did­n't
notice any drug abuse then.
The physical abuse began
about seven months into the
marriage, but Jones' husband
never abused the children. She
always got them out of the
house.
"His whole attitude
changed," Jones said. "I wasn't
a wife, I was something he
owned."
Jones, a trained nursing
assistant, worked at a nearby
nursing home and supported
the family on her salary.
When Jones went to work or
was around friends, she made
excuses for her swollen hands,
bruised skin and limp to pro­tect
her husband, she said.
"You don't want to run out
the first time. You want to
stay and give it time," she
said. "I'd say I hurt myself at
work or at home." I made
excuses because he was my
husband.
"A couple of times I left to go
to my sister's house, but he
would call and beg me to come
back. He said he's sorry and it
wouldn't happen again. But
after a couple of days, every­t
h i n g would s t a r t all over
again," Jones said.
Now everything is starting
over again for Jones. Her chil­dren
are going to school in
Opelika, she said.
"It (the beatings) takes
something from you," she said.
"It will take a while for me to
get it back, but it took a place
like Safehouse to get me start­ed."
Insecurity cause
of spouse abuse
continued from A-3
a man cries. It's considered
being a woman when a woman
cries.
"When we are not allowed to
express our feelings, we ulti­mately
stuff them. Anger is only
an expression of all those feel­ings
that were stuffed. Aggres­sion
is just a denial of feelings,"
she said.
Wife batterers are of all races,
religions, social and economic
groups, personalities and profes­sions,
Helten said.

Neglect most common

child can be put into foster
care," Reese said. "Our main
goal then is to reunite the fami­ly
at some point.
Since child neglect cases are
more common in low income
families, the child doesn't know
he's being neglected, and the
parents don't think they're giv­ing
improper care to the child,
Reese said.
In some homes, a homemaker
is assigned to teach parents
proper parenting skills, how to
clean the home and provide
transportation if it is necessary. {
If the problem continues for
an extensive period, the case is
taken to court and a dependency
petition is filed. This means
that a court order is presented
to the parents to provide neces-1
sary care for the child.
In most cases, Reese said, the
problem is corrected successful­ly
without the need for a court
order.

Realist rejects logic of art
with simplistic philosophy
Michael Gordon
Village Life Editor
In New York City, artists seem to
rise and fall overnight, while
abstract and shock are the order of
the day.
Without getting bogged down in
trends, artist Philip Pearlstein has
proven that out of chaos comes real­ism.
"What I did in 1959 when I was
starting was done in belligerence to the
current art establishment," Pearlstein
said.
"I was there to break away from the
parents," he said in a speech Monday
to students and admirers at the
Auburn Hotel and Conference Center.
In his speech, Pearlstein talked
about his life and his use of the human
form.
"I work strictly from live models,
most of my models are young artists,
and this is an easier way for them to
earn money than through other jobs,"
he said.
"People often ask me why don't I
work from photographs. I suppose that
is the logical thing to do, but art is
never logical," he said.
Through his work, Pearlstein mocks
surrealism by using typically surreal­ist
elements.
"In a way, my paintings are puns on
surrealism by my use of the juxtaposi­tion
of unexpected forms. Except I am
always careful to realistically describe
the space that everything is in," he
said.
After completing college, Pearlstein
moved to New York.
"My intention upon going to New
York, from (my home in) Pittsburgh,
was to become a commercial artist.
"My roommate, Andy Warhol and I
moved t
