Board passes
f91 curriculum
Teresa Gaston
News Editor
The Board of Trustees unani­mously
approved the new core
curriculum and the lighting of
the intramural field at its meet­ing
at Auburn University in
Montgomery on Friday.
The curriculum will take
effect fall 1991, according to the
resolution.
"I'm delighted that this has
come about," Vice President for
Academic Affairs Ronald Henry
said.
The 61-hour curriculum con­tains
five hours of math, five
hours of logic or ethics, nine
hours of social science, three
hours of fine arts, 10 hours of
English, nine hours of history,
10 hours of literature and a
writing reinforcement class.
Miller Solomon, president of
the University Senate, said,

Student silent
about LSD bust

William Michael Roberts, 03
MRB, of Huntsville refused to
comment in a phone interview
Tuesday concerning his arrest
last week in Ozark for traffick­ing
LSD.
Billy Kyle Minor of Birming­ham,
the other person arrested,
could not be reached for com­ment.
Minor has never been enrolled
at Auburn, according to the Reg­istrar's
Office.
Roberts, 22, and Minor, 21,
were arrested Feb. 8 at 9 p.m.
and held on $20,000 bond at the
Dale County jail, according to
wire reports.
The police confiscated 2,000
hits with a street value between
$15,000 and $20,000, according
to wire reports.
The bust was the the first
major arrest involving LSD traf­ficking
in eight years and also
the largest drug bust in the
area, reports said.

Bell gets
25-year
sentence
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
Three months after a 22-hour
standoff, Tommy Bell, 27, plead­ed
guilty to first-degree kidnap­ping
and first-degree burglary
in Lee County Circuit Court
Monday.
Judge James T. Gullage sen­tenced
Bell to two 25-year con­current
prison terms, and he
will be eligible for parole.
In a plea bargain, the district
attorney's office agreed to drop
three lesser charges of second-degree
kidnapping if Bell agreed
to the 25-year sentences and to
plead guilty to the two most
serious charges, according to
District Attorney Ron Myers.
"I had discussed the bargain
with the victims and the woman
hostage. We thought that 25
years was reasonable, and that
is what we decided to do," he
said.
Bell was charged with the
Nov. 13 kidnapping of his
estranged girlfriend, Katherine
Scott; Clarence Morgan, the
Moton Apartment building
maintenance supervisor; and
Scott's two children, Ledarrin
and Lashonda Scott.
According to Gullage's
instructions to Bell during the
sentencing process, Bell had
been convicted of second-degree
theft in 1983.
This caused the current
charges to fall under the Habit­ual
Offender's Law.
This law set the penalty for a
Class A felony as possible life
(99 years), but not less than 15
years.
First-degree kidnapping and
first-degree burglary are class A
felonies, according to Gullage's

Although almost 170 stu­dents
declared candidacy for
SGA offices, the high number
does not break last year's
record of 196 candidates.
"Even with 166, that is still
a good turnout," SGA Presi­dent
Scott Turnquist said.
"There is more than one per­son
running for all of the
major offices, except for
Plainsman editor.
"That shows that there is a
lot of good leadership and stu­dents
are concerned for repre­sentation
of the student body."
The application deadline for
letters of intent was Feb. 9,
except for Glomerata and
Plainsman editor candidates,
which was Feb. 6.
Pat Joyce, 03 HRM, and
Kevin King, 03 PB, joined
Mark McKinnon, 04 AC, in the
race for treasurer. McKinnon
was unopposed until last
Thursday.
"I want to get as involved in
the SGA as possible," Joyce
said. "I would like to make the
SGA as a whole more open to
the campus.
"The SGA should inform stu­dents
more. It should work as
one unit," he said.
King said, "It would be a
chance for me to hold SGA
accountable for how it spends
its money. I will hopefully
make things better and see
what is wrong and see what
can be approved.
"It would be a good opportu­nity
to make sure money is not
wasted," he said.
Candidates for president,
Terry McCarthy, 04 FI, and
Tim Stocksdale, 04 FI, signed
up to run for the office during
the first week applications
were accepted and remain the
only candidates.
Merle Flowers, 03 AEC,
Leigh Ann Holley, 03 AC, Greg
Ledbetter, 03 MZY, and
Christy Truitt, 03 CE,
declared candidacy for vice
president during the first

The five-member committee
established by the University to
review its merit pay system
heard complaints Tuesday from
members of the University Sen­ate.
"I've seen too many of my col­leagues
go into retirement at
salaries grossly obscene and
have new faculty hired that are
paid more but do not have the
experience," Senate President
Miller Solomon said.
Professors are not adequately
paid for their experience, and
the University does not award
veteran faculty but awards new
professors, he said.
"When a man points his finger
at the moon, it is the idiot who
looks at the finger and not the
moon," Solomon said as an anal­ogy
explaining the University's
lack of perspective.
"The longer you stay here, the
further behind you get," he said.
Physics Professor Eugene
Clothiaux, head of the commit­tee,
said some financial data is
not available to the committee
because of the age discrimina­tion
lawsuit that is in court.
"Part of the (committee's)
charge is to convey to the
administration what the faculty
feel are issues that concern
them," he said.
History Professor Allen Jones
said, "I can retire and make as
much money retired as teach­ing,
and the University is loos­ing
25 years of experience.
"What is going to happen is
the experienced faculty are
going to leave - goodbye."
The University hires younger,
less experienced faculty but
pays the new faculty more than
current professors, he said.
Entomology Associate Profes­sor
Mike Gaylor said the Uni­versity
must set faculty salaries
according to their market value
to attract qualified faculty.
"I agree that many of us are
grossly underpaid, but from a
practical standpoint, if we more
equally allocate salaries, I think
we would find ourselves far less
competitive," he said.
Salaries should reflect rank,
but professors with a high rank
do not always perform at an
acceptable level, Gaylor said.
"Most of us can think of at
least one individual who has
retired on the job," he said.
GSO holds survey
on opinions, issues
Health insurance examined
Melissa Denney
Assistant News Editor
Health insurance, child care
and job safety are issues grad­uate
students can expect to be
asked about in a telephone
survey conducted by the Grad­uate
Student Organization
(GSO) Feb. 18-21.
"We feel these are the needs
of the graduate students, but
will not be sure until the sur­vey
is completed," said Susan
Dye.
Dye is a member of the Stu­dent
Welfare Committee of the
GSO and is in charge of the
survey.
The survey will be conduct­ed
by an undergraduate com­munications
class taught by
Larry Barker.
Graduate students who have
strong statistical backgrounds
will help analyze the informa­tion
and prepare a scientific
report to be given to GSO the
last day of this quarter, she
said.
"The only costs will be copy­ing,
and the GSO will pay for
that."
The immediate outcome will
be to obtain adequate health
insurance, she said.
"Even though most graduate
students are employed by the
University, we are not eligible
for their employee health
insurance plan," Dye said.
"We do not know if there is a
current need or if child care is
tight in this town or not."
"Once we determine what
kind of insurance students
have, like and what they are
willing to pay for it, we will
give the information to insur­ance
companies for evalua­tion."
The survey will also deter­mine
the child care needs of
graduate students, she said.
"We also want to find out if
graduate students who work
in laboratories are being
trained properly and have
equipment that is necessary
for safety.

Literacy: Knowing its value in society
Technology
causes need
for literate
population
Jennifer Wynn
Features Editor
I lliteracy is often defined as
the inability to read and
write, but those who fight
the battle see that it includes
education and the ability to
function in our specialized
world.
"With the technological revo­lution,
the traditional jobs that
people had who were illiterate
are vanishing," Thomas Brawn-er,
coordinator of the East Cen­tral
Alabama Adult Basic Edu­cation
Program, said.
"Even in traditional blue-col­lar
jobs, it's using computers,
reading manuals, and it's hard
to think of many jobs that don't
involve reading."
Literacy used to be defined at
a fourth-grade level, Brawner
said, but with the today's
advancements it is necessary to
read on a ninth or 10th grade
level to be functionally literate.
According to a brochure print­ed
by the Lee County Literacy
Coalition, more than 8,200 (1 in
4) adults have not finished the
eighth grade. Forty percent of
the adults in Lee County have
not graduated from high school.
"If you're a floor worker in a
textile mill, you will still be
required to read and use tech­nology,"
Brawner said.
Illiteracy develops when a
child grows up in a family that
doesn't value reading, he said.
"By the time they get to
kindergarten or first grade, if
they haven't been exposed to the
world of reading and had posi­tive
models of the importance of
reading, it's going to be very dif­ficult
for them to learn how to
read." Brawner said.
Intergenerational literacy is
becoming important, which
means working with the family,
he said.
"Everyone recognizes that if
we are going to solve the prob­lem,
we have got to deal with
everyone in the family," Brawn­er
said.
"Many people in the tutoring
program (offered by the Literacy
Coalition) come because their

An illiterate Alabama citizen will
earn 36 percent less than a lit­erate
person.
A person who doesn't complete high
school will earn 16 percent less than a
person with a high school diploma,
according to the State Department of
Education.
More than 50 percent of all inmates
in Alabama prisons have less than an
eighth grade education, and 90 percent
didn't complete high school, according
to Bob Walden, state coordinator for
Alabama's Adult Basic Education Pro­gram
(ABE).
"Only 15 percent of Alabama's pris­oners
who received their G.E.D. (Grad­uate
Equivalency Diploma) before
being paroled were imprisoned again,"
Walden said.
"It costs the tax payers about
$14,000 a year to keep one criminal in
prison where it costs only $2,000 to
educate someone," he said.
A lack of funds seems to be the main
obstacle facing education improvement
programs.
The only government-funded pro­gram
in Alabama is the ABE program.
It is designed specifically for those who
did not finish high school or graduated
without basic competency skills, educa­tion
specialist for the ABE program,
Naomi Walker, said.
"More people could be reached with
the existing funds, but there are prob­lems
with transportation and interest,"
Walker said.
Many mothers receiving government
aid may not benefit economically from
a better education. Most available jobs
for high school graduates are low pay-ingjobs,
Walker said.
In these cases, mothers who choose
to complete their high school education
and work low paying jobs may become
disqualified for government aid bene­fits,
Walker said.
Not only does the mother face work­ing
30 to 40 hours a week, but she
must pay for groceries, baby sitters
and utilities with a lower or not signifi­cantly
higher income, she said.
In cases such as these, the ABE pro­gram
tries to encourage its students to
further their education either at a
trade or vocational school, Walker said.
The person may then become eligible
for a higher paying job and no longer
need government aid income. However,
the question then arises, "Who pays for
these trade and vocational schools?"
she said.
Walden said Alabama's property
taxes are earmarked for education pur­poses.
Alabama could triple its proper­ty
taxes, thus tripling the amount of
money set aside for education, and still
have the lowest property taxes in the
United States, he said.
However, citizens continually vote

Learning is something
many college students
might take for granted,
but at the Lee County Literacy
Coalition, learners are serious
about their work.
"Sometimes it is a problem
scheduling the tutoring depend­ing
on where they work and
where they live," Cathy Pagan,
literacy coordinator at the Liter­acy
Coalition, said.
"We have some people that
are driving quite a ways, but
they are very excited about hav­ing
a tutor so they'll make spe­cial
effort," Pagan said.
The Coalition works on a one-on-
one basis. Each learner is
assigned a tutor. The learners
have special workbooks and sto­ries
for adult learners, Pagan
said.
"We give a brief training (to
the tutors) at first, and then we
try to give ongoing training
while they are working," she
said. "They work usually once a
week for an hour to an hour and
a half."
The learners are asked to
work on their lesson during the
week and review what they
learned in a session.
The program is based on the
uniqueness of the learner,
Pagan said.
Nina Liverance has been a
volunteer with the Coalition for
one year.
"I am an avid reader, and I
had the extra time," Liverance
said. "I felt very privileged to be
educated, and I realized others
didn't have that."
Liverance has worked with
the same student since she
began volunteering.
"I would be willing to do more
than one, but it takes a while to
know someone and to find out
what works best for them."
Tutoring is not something to
jump into. It takes time to feel
comfortable and to determine
how to help the students, she
said.
"We try to read materials she
is interested in," Liverance said.

High schools seek ways to discourage dropouts
Pamela Richardson
Staff Writer
It's only a piece of paper, but a high
school diploma can provide oppor­tunities
otherwise unavailable.
Each year many students enter high
school only to drop out before gradua­tion.
Reasons for student drop out
range from poor motivation to prob­lems
at home.
Betty Smith, social and health coor­dinator
for Auburn City Schools, said
several students have adequate intelli­gence
to perform on the high school
level, but are poorly motivated.
"Sometimes the student has prob­lems
at home or is just bored with
school. Many times we never find out
the reason a child drops out," Smith
said. "It would be wonderful if we did,
then there would be no problem.
"When my office is contacted the
problem has already become full
blown. I'm usually contacted after a
student has been absent 8-12 days.
"Once I've been contacted, I make
Some visits and'talk with the parents
and send letters to the home address­ing
the problem.
"The law requires a child between
the ages of 7-16 to attend school. After
the age of 16, legally there is nothing
we can do, unless the student is in spe­cial
education."
The state in conjunction with the
Alabama Judiciary Organization,
implemented the Early Morning Pro­gram
to deal with truancy and the
problem of high school dropouts. The
program involves a probation officer
from the Lee County Justice Center,
Smith and the parents of the truant
child.
The probation officer hears the case
concerning the truant child and
explains the laws and consequences of
failure to obey them to the parents. If
truancy continues, the case is present­ed
to a judge who tries to convince the
parents that it is best if the child
returns to school.
Smith outlined a policy used by
Auburn High School that states if a
student is absent more than 20 days,
*the student has to repeat that year,
After the age of 16, legal­ly
there is nothing we can
do, unless the student is
in special education.
- Betty Smith
unless there is a special decision by the
school principal and the school board.
Another program enacted by Auburn
City Schools is ACCEPT (Auburn Con­tinuing
Commitment to Educate Preg­nant
Teens).
"When teens are pregnant they go to
Boykin Community Center for class
instruction in the mornings," Smith
said. "In the afternoons, they learn
prenatal and childcare. This program
is in association with Project Uplift."
During the 1987-88 school year,
Auburn High School began with an
enrollment of 1,033 students. At the
end of the first semester seven dropped
out.
According to Lennie Squires, a secre­tary
at Auburn High School, even
though several students drop-out dur­ing
the first semester, several return
the second semester. Squires said that
less than 2 percent are true dropouts.
June Dean, a counselor at Lee-Scott
Academy, said, "Because we are a col­lege-
prep school, we don't really have a
problem. If a student can't cut it here,
then the student usually returns to
public school.
"They attribute this lack of student
dropout to parental concern and
involvement, a concern for academic
achievement by the students and
because students are college-motivat­ed,"
Dean said.
There is legislation pending before
state law-makers that would require a
student to complete high school or risk
having his or her driver's license
revoked. Virginia was the first state to
enact this legislation.
Smith said, "In the long run it would
be beneficial if this legislation were
passed. Right now, legally, if the stu­dent
is over 16 then there isn't much
we can do." f

Care package sent to Romania
Pam Radtke
Staff Writer
Two weeks ago a care package
was sent from Auburn to Roma­nia.
It wasn't the usual care
package of medicine, food and
supplies.
The package contained 200
history books.
The books were sent as an
effort to replace the thousands
of books lost in Bucharest Uni­versity's
Central Library when
the secret police used the
library as a fortress during the
uprising.
In their retreat, the secret
police set fire to the library.
Most of the books were
destroyed.
The Romanian library includ­ed
many foreign books and
Romanian historical documents
that were rare or out of print,
according to Daniel Szechi of
the history department.
"They are in terrible shape
with their own history.
"Someone outside of Romania
with copies of Romanian histori­cal
documents is going to have
to come in and rewrite their his­tory
books," he said.
Szechi said.
He gathered more than 200
books from his colleagues,
Szechi said.
"People went into their offices
and got old texts," he said. "And
since most people in this depart-
Sending them these books is sending them
information they have never had before.
- Daniel Szechi
Szechi said he was responsi­ble
for gathering and sending
the 200 books.
He said he decided to help
with the effort to replace the
lost books after reading a plea
for books for Romania in a
British scholarly journal.
"The article suggested that all
academics with libraries of
books in English that had spare
copies help with the effort to
replace some of the books lost,"

ment are specialists in U.S. his­tory,
we sent them a lot of U.S.
history texts."
Those U.S. history books and
other western history books will
have particular significance to
the Romanians, Szechi said.
"Sending them these books is
sending them information they
have never had before," he said.
"They were fed a garbled ver­sion.
Things like in the U.S. the
people are all wage slaves lying
in the gutter."
Auburn's history department
paid to send the books to the
University Canterbury in Great
Britain, he said.
The librarian there has
offered to store all books gath­ered
during the drive until the
British Council can arrange
transportation to Romania, he
said.
History books are not the only
books needed in Romania,
Szechi said.
Because of the implications of
urgency in the appeal, Szechi
said he only had enough time to
gather books in the history
department.
However, Szechi said all inter­ested
in helping with the effort
send books to: "Books for Roma­nia,"

Alabama Power gives
money for scholarships
Liz Armstrong
Staff Writer
Alabama Power gave the
University a $25,000 endow­ment
to be used for scholar­ships
in the College of Engi­neering.
"The endowment takes one
year in the bank, then about
this time next year the schol­arships
should be available,"
J im Killian, a spokesman for
t h e College of Engineering,
said.
Alabama Power Company
Foundation started this pro­gram
with the idea of making
i t a challenge for other indus­tries
to contribute, he said.
"Hopefully it will increase to
$100,000 by the end of the
year," he said.
Engineering Dean William
F. Walker said it will recognize
s u p e r i o r academic perfor­mance
among engineering stu­dents.
"The scholarship was made
possible partly by (Alabama
Power President) Elmer Har­ris
who is one of our alumni,"
Walker said.
Alabama Power hires many
Auburn s t u d e n t s , and there
has been a co-op program for
52 years, Killian said.
The scholarship would ini­t
i a l ly l a s t for one year and
would be renewable based on
academic performance.
"The point here is to attract
excellent students to the Col­lege
of Engineering," Killian
said.
President James E. Martin
said, "We have a large number
of bright students. The schol­a
r s h i p provided by Alabama
Power will enable students to
come to Auburn.
"It may be the difference
between being able to attend
Auburn and not going to col­lege.
"We really a p p r e c i a t e the
generous donation by Alabama
Power."
The s c h o l a r s h i p will be
available to legal residents of
Alabama and will be adminis­tered
through the University's
Office of Financial Aid.

Serving alcohol risky
Lawyer warns fraternities concerning liability
Mary Orndorff
Staff Writer
Social host liability is the lat­est
t e rm in Alabama law and
represents the issue of exactly
who may be sued in an alcohol-related
accident, Frank Parsons,
a Birmingham lawyer, said in a
speech Monday night.
"If you throw a party, provide
the booze, and you know that
someone leaves drunk and has a
wreck, in Alabama, I think they
can get you," Parsons said.
"If you dispense the alcohol,
you may become liable for the
acts of someone who becomes
drunk," he said.
In a 1987 case in Pennsylva­nia,
a college fraternity, its pres-'
ident, treasurer, program direc­tor
and two brothers were indi­vidually
sued and lost when a
minor left a party drunk and
killed someone in a car accident,
he said.
The party was at the brothers'
a p a r t m e n t , not the fraternity
house, and the case was worth
$5.3 million, he said.
In his speech at the Sigma Phi
Epsilon house, P a r s o n s said
Alabama may follow the lead
Pennsylvanea and other states
by holding everyone involved
responsible.
Other factors determining lia­b
i l i ty in such a case include
where the p a r t y is held, who
s p o n s o r s it, who buys and
serves the alcohol and whether
the offender is a minor.
"Societal pressure changes the
law," Parsons said. He cited a
DUI case he was defending in
which a member of Mothers
Against Drunk Driving (MADD)
approached the judge during
recess to tell him she was moni­toring
the case.
Another recent Alabama case
was evidence of such pressure'
when the state Supreme Court
overturned an earlier ruling by
a lower court, he said.
Essentially, Parsons said, both
sponsors of an event were held
directly liable for the actions of
a man who drove from the party
drunk and killed someone.
This ruling may affect such
events in Auburn in which a fra­ternity
and a sorority co-sponsor
an event, Parsons said.
"The laws in Alabama aren't
as clear as they are in other
s t a t e s , " P a r s o n s said, "but
Alabama has a tendency to fol­low
the lead of others.
If you dispense the
alcohol, you may
become liable for the
acts of someone who
becomes drunk.
- Frank Parsons
"It is clear, though, that if you
serve a minor and know he's a
minor, and he has an accident,
they (the plaintiff) will collect."
He cited several Alabama
c a s e s as examples of the
i n c r e a s i n g l y severe conse­quences
of drunk driving acci­dents,
and said two out of five
families in the United States
will be affected by a drunk driv­er.
Greek o r g a n i z a t i o n s at
Auburn have installed rules and
programs to avoid such liability,
and Parsons questioned their
effectiveness.
Sober driver programs are
advantageous, he said, but if a
minor who has been drinking
refuses the service, the courts
may assume t h a t he was not
r e s p o n s i b l e for his decision,
t h u s leaving liability with the
sponsor(s) of the party.
"If you're p l a y i n g with a
minor, you're playing with fire,"
he said.
The University rule to check
identification at parties to pre­vent
minors from e n t e r i n g is
good, P a r s o n s said, until a
minor somehow slips in with a
false ID, then the fraternity or
sorority is liable again.
Parsons said he doubted the
effectiveness of social contracts,
in which members sign a con­tract
saying they will not hold
t h e organization liable for an
accident.
He suggested to still have
them, but said they do not apply
to a third party who may have
been injured, who had nothing
to do with the organization or
its social contract.
"Today, everybody sues every­body,"
he said. "And I don't see
that changing."
Some Auburn organizations
use cash bars, in which the alco­hol
is brought and distributed
by a caterer who is contracted
by the organization.
Parsons said this may shift
the liability, and the question is
whether the caterer is an inde­pendent
contractor or an agent
of the organization who hired
him.
"The court is looking for who
had control of the booze, atten­dance
and promotion of the
party" to determine liability, he
said.
The bottom line is determined
by which defendant has the
most money for the plaintiff to
go after, he said. "Insurance is
the only way to protect your­self."

February 15,1990 The Auburn Plainsman A-7
Group opposing weapons train
Drotesters plan candlelight vigil to stop transport of nuclear arms
/lary Orndorff
Staff Writer
In protest of nuclear weapons,
he Conscientious Alliance for
'eace (CAP) is planning a vigil
n LaGrange, Ga., along the
rain tracks expected to carry
92 Trident-II nuclear warheads
ometime between now and
arly March, Judy Cumbee of
AP said.
"There is a danger all along
he rails if there were to be an
Occident with this train," Cum-ee
said. "The neighborhoods
long this route will be in dan-er."
The warheads are assembled
Amarillo, Texas, and will be
n route to Kings Bay Naval
Submarine Base in St. Mary's,
Ga., where they will be installed
on either the USS Tennessee or
USS Pennsylvania, according to
CAP literature.
CAP estimated that the power
of the shipment is equivalent to
7,000 times the power used on
Hiroshima, Japan during World
War II.
Trains pass regularly along
this route carrying various
stages of Trident-II missiles,
and monthly vigils at LaGrange
are held in protest, Cumbee
said.
These trains travel east from
Birmingham through Talladega,
Roanoke, Standing Rock,
LaGrange and into St. Mary's,
according to CAP literature.
The LaGrange vigil will be
nonviolent and a safe distance
from the tracks, according to the
literature.
The St. Mary's Action for Life
Affinity Group has notified
police and government officials
of its intention of stopping the
warhead train before its arrival
at the naval base, Cumbee said.
"If it comes at night, we will
have a candlelight vigil," Cum­bee
said about the plans for
LaGrange.
In a presentation on Tuesday,
Scott Douglas, a southern repre­sentative
for the Partnership for
Democracy, said the warhead
t r a in is "like our jobs, our
homes, our health care, our edu­cation,
our day care and our job
training riding right before our
very eyes heading toward Kings
Bay to be buried into a subma­rine
never to be seen produc­tively
again."
J im and Shelley Douglass
said they have seen similar
trains elsewhere and describe
them as "great white trains."
They look like armored cars,
with guards and machine guns
to protect it, they said.
The Douglass' said they are
co-founders of the Ground Zero
Center for Nonviolent Action
and members of the Birming­ham
Citizens Against Trident.
Cumbee said the passage
could be any day between now
and March and CAP h a s a
phone chain set up to notify
members of its arrival.
bpelika residents
continue protests
/lary Orndorff
taff Writer
Controversy continues this
/eek in Opelika concerning a
roposed $511,000 bridge that
/ould extend Etowah Avenue to
he Opelika High School cam-us.
The Concerned Citizens for
)pelika have presented more
han 1,300 signatures to the
)pelika City Council during the
ast month, in opposition to the
ridge's construction.
"The bridge would take traffic
ongestion and place it directly
n our campus," the coordinator
f Concerned Citizens, Dan
lart, said.
We don't feel like the pro-osed
bridge and road would
ave enough driving time to
arrant the jeopardy that will
e placed on all of our high
chool students," Hart said.
To illustrate their point, Hart
nd the Concerned Citizens
uilt a model bridge on the pro-osed
site during the weekend
fFeb. 3.
'We had quite a turnout over
he weekend," Hart said.
The plastic and ribbon mock
ridge attracted much attention
nd traffic until it was taken
own Sunday night to allow
chool to continue normally on
/Ionday, he said.

The City Council will decide
the future of the bridge proposal
Tuesday night, and Councilman
Rainer Meadows said the 1,300
signatures may affect the out­come
of the vote.
"If it passes at all, we may try
to alter the plans to allow a way
for students to pass back and
forth under the bridge," Mead­ows
said.
Ideally, he said, construction
would begin in early June to
minimize any disturbance to the
students.
Homeowners on Etowah
Avenue fear the bridge's pres­ence
will cause a loss in proper­ty
value, and Meadows said he
agrees.
"But they can be reimbursed,
through a three-step process."
Alabama will appraise the
property before and after con­struction,
Meadows said.
The difference in these two
appraisals will be offered to the
property owners, he said.
If this settlement is not
acceptable to the owner, he said,
the next step is to take the case
to probate court to determine if
the settlement offer was fair,
and possibly reappraise.
The homeowner may file suit
in circuit court if he is dissatis­fied
with previous offers, he
said.
Professor: reforms
result of Gorbachev
Ray Jones
Staff Writer
Unfounded rumors about a
possible resignation of Soviet
Communist Party leader
Mikhail Gorbachev have not
scathed his strength, accord­ing
to Michael Urban, associ­ate
professor of political sci­ence.
"As far as rumors are con­cerned,
it's always a mystery.
Russia's full of rumors,"
Urban said.
"What is interesting is a
couple of days after the
rumors, there were 200,000
Muscovites demonstrating for
the type of reform that he
sponsored."
Gorbachev thrust proposals
of reform onto the agenda at
the Communist Party's Cen­tral
Committee meeting last
week.
The biggest reform Gor­bachev
sponsored, one that
put an end to one-party rule,
earned widespread acceptance
in the Soviet Union, he said.
The strength of Gorbachev
was a major factor in the pass­ing
of the proposals, Urban
said.
"They had an agenda, and
they took it to the Central
Committee, most of whose
members did not like this
agenda, and they made those
people eat it," Urban said.
Unless there is a major
catastrophe, Urban said Gor­bachev
will not fall from
power or resign his post any
time soon.
"If things go reasonably
smoothly, I don't predict that
Gorbachev will be out of
power until his second term
expires as president in anoth­er
nine years.
"He has constructed a new
political order," Urban said.
We're a day late, but Valentine's
run wild in this week's Classifieds.

Committee reviews
interest in Circle
Debbie Ruyl
Staff Writer
A committee appointed by
the Board of Student Commu­nications
has been formed to
review Auburn's literary mag­azine,
the Circle, committee
Chairman Paul DeMarco said.
The ad hoc committee was
formed at the Feb. 8 Comm
Board meeting to discuss "lack
of student interest in the mag­azine,"
he said.
"There is no doubt the Cir­cle
will survive. It's just been
a while since the Communica­tions
Board has looked at the
magazine's guidelines,"
DeMarco said.
Another factor to be exam­ined
is the lack of applicants
for the student editorial board
for the Circle, he said.
"This was another reason we
questioned the student inter­est
in the magazine," he said.
The committee, which con­sists
of DeMarco and two
other Comm Board members,
will look at the current guide­lines
that regulate the Circle
and decide what or if they
need to be revamped, DeMarco
said.
"At the next Comm Board
meeting on March 8, we want
to present some firm recom­mendations
on what would be
a good path for the Circle to
follow," he said.
Becky Haack, editor of the
Circle, said there is definitely
a student interest in the mag­azine.
The first issue this year of

Tutoring service,
brainstorm idea
Wendy Watkins-Oakley
Staff Writer
Starting four years ago with
$100 and a telephone, Auburn
students Natalie Adams, 04
MK, and Darion Davis, 04 IE,
joined an elite group of young
entrepreneurs by s t a r t i n g a
business on campus.
Adams, 23, and Davis, 26,
said they realized that many of
their friends needed extra help
on their college work, while oth­ers
with good grades needed
part-time jobs to help pay for
their education.
They decided to start Brain­storm
Tutoring Services, they
said.
They used their money to buy
an answering machine, message
pads and 250 posters, which left
them with $25, according to
Adams.
"We figured the worst thing
that could happen is we could
lose $100. The best thing that
could happen is we could make
a lot of money," Adams said.
Within three months the busi­ness
employed 20 tutors, and at
its peak the service employed 23
students, Adams said.
The business made about
$700 to $850 per month and
averaged quarterly revenues of
$2,000 to $2,500, according to
Adams.
Adams and Davis averaged
about $4 per hour for the time
they worked with the business,
she said.
Their role was scheduling,
advertising, looking for tutors,
evaluating tutors, meeting with
faculty and managing the
finances, she said.
"To start with, we spent a lot
of time with the business,"
Davis said.
"If one had a test the other
one would take care of the busi­ness,"
he said. "I dealt with the
details, and she dealt with the
people."
Adams said, "We averaged 40
to 50 hours a week each.
"The whole idea was a service
business and a learning experi­ence."
Adams became involved in the
Association of Collegiate
Entrepreneurs (ACE) as south­ern
regional director and presi­dent
of the Auburn chapter.
Adams and Davis said they
turned the business over to
ACE, since they will graduate
this quarter.
"They are making the same
mistakes we did, but they will
learn," Davis said.
They said the experience will
help them in the future.
Bottoms up not cool, study shows

Consumption of alcohol by
entering college freshmen
dropped significantly from
1988 to 1989, according to
recent survey.
The survey was sponsored
and conducted by the Ameri­can
Council on Education and
the University of California at
Los Angeles' Higher Education
Institute. .
"Because of the Fraternity
Insurance Purchasing Group's
requirements, fraternities
have changed their policies on
alcohol," Auburn IFC Presi­dent
Sean Thomas said. "Lia­bility
has become a big factor.
"The number of alcohol-related
incidents has dropped,
and with a new BYOB policy
expected, it may drop even
more."
Lt. Gary Black of the
Auburn Police Department
said, "We're getting a lot of
help from the University, in
regulating functions and
checking for underage
drinkers.
"I haven't personally seen a
drop in alcohol-related inci­dents,
though."
In 1986, the AUPD reported
240 alcohol and narcotic-relat­ed
arrests. In 1987, only 178
were reported. No figures were
available for 1988 and 1989.
Director of Student Activi­ties
Grant Davis said the
majority of fraternal chapters
at the University have manda­tory
alcohol awareness pro­grams
for new members, in
addition to participating in
Alcohol Awareness Week each
fall.
One alcohol awareness pro­gram
must be held each quar­ter
by each fraternity, Thomas
said.
As alternatives to alcohol,
fraternities have turned to
team sports and community
activity as reasons to get
together, Davis said.
Thomas said, "Sometimes all
the members of a chapter may
go to a ball game, arid the fra­ternity
will pay for it."
Susannah Jones, director of
the SGA's Alcohol and Drug
Information Center, said
Auburn's growing conservative
a t t i t u d e toward alcohol is
indicative of other schools'
across the Southeast.
"I know of two schools with
very active and effective alco­hol
awareness programs, and
they've also seen a downward
trend in alcohol consumption."

Cuts not
to affect
ROTC
Richard Parker
Staff Writer
Despite President George
Bush's proposed defense cuts,
the three commanders of
Auburn's ROTC said the detach­ments
do not expect the cuts to
drastically affect their pro­grams.
Col. Dave LeBlanc of Aub­urn's
Air Force ROTC detach­ment
said he doesn't expect the
proposed budget reductions to
have much impact on Auburn's
Air Force ROTC program.
"Every brick coming out of the
Berlin Wall represents a dollar
or person in the defense budget.
Despite affecting personal plans
or career goals, it's a wonderful
thing," he said.
Nationwide, the total number
of Air Force ROTC scholarships
is dropping from about 5,400 to
5,100, LeBlanc said.
The majority of the cuts in Air
Force officer personnel will be
coming from Officer Training
School (OTS), he said.
OTS is a method by which
candidates who did not go
through the Air Force Academy
or through Air Force ROTC may
qualify to become officers.
"Auburn's Air Force ROTC
program is expected to commis­sion
43 students in fiscal year
1990," LeBlanc said.
An increase in qualifications
standards for commissioning
would be logical with 'the pro-

posed personnel decrease,
LeBlanc said.
Capt. Dick Phelan, comman­der
of Auburn's Navy ROTC
detachment, said he doesn't
foresee much change in
Auburn's Navy ROTC program
either.
"The chief of naval personnel
sees no change in the future,"
Phelan said.
He said he projects that
Auburn's Navy ROTC program
will see 10 percent fewer stu­dents
than in fiscal year 1986.
It will become more competi­tive
to receive a service scholar­ship
because of the proposed
changes, he said.
The Naval acceptance scores
for officer programs are about

ACT, he said.
Nationwide, the Navy ROTC
program will be reduced by 20
percent, Phelan said.
"I hope legislators will be pru­dent
in money allocated to
defense. A strong defense is nec­essary
for the U.S. to maintain
its status as a world power,"
Phelan said.
Lt. Col. J.M. Danielson of
Auburn's Army ROTC detach­ment
said he is "expecting busi­ness
as usual around here."
The proposed cuts will have
"no impact" on the Army ROTC
program, Danielson said.
Eighty percent of Army ROTC
cadets at Auburn get their first
choice of duty assignments, he
said.
A bill scheduled to go before
the state legislature this session
may ultimately undermine the
American public school system,
College of Education Dean
Richard C. Kunkel said.
The bill will allow students to
attend the school of their choice
instead of their zoned school.
The bill, which is sponsored
by state Rep. Al Knight (R-Birmingham),
would require
school systems to cooperate so
students could cross district
lines.
"The American public educa­tion
system is unique in that the
goal is to educate all children,
regardless of race, economic
level, etc.," he said.
This bill would defeat that
goal, he said.
President George Bush and
Secretary of Education Lauro F.
Cavazos support the bill
because it will bring a free-mar­ket
competition to the schools,
he said.
Since operating funds are allo­cated
to schools on the basis of
attendance, money will follow
The American public
education system is
unique in that the
goal is to educate all
children.

students to their chosen schools,
Kunkel said. .
Schools which lose students
will have an incentive to
improve the quality of education
they offer, he said.
"This competition is counter to
social consciousness," he said.
This idea is not well received
by most educators in Alabama
and other states, according to
Kunkel.
Kunkel said he supports
school choice within a district
when that choice allows stu­dents
to attend single-purpose
schools, such as one that focuses
on the arts or college enrich­ment.
When voters' children attend
schools in other districts, they
will no longer be willing to pay
taxes to support schools in their
own districts, Kunkel said.
This would lead to economic
segregation in schools, and
because of a tie between race
and economy, it could eventually
lead to racial segregation,
Kunkel said.
Minnesota is currently experi­menting
with this same system,
he said.
"It is doing moderately well,
but you have to take into consid­eration
that Minnesota puts
more money into education than
most other states, and they
have a great public school sys­tem."
Alabama's public schools rank
low in a number of areas, with
the exception of higher educa­tion,
he said.
A better plan for improving
the quality of the state's school
system includes increased fund­ing,
more attention to faculty
and sufficient salaries, Kunkel
said.
The bill was scheduled to go
before the House Education
Committee Feb. 7, but the hear­ing
was postponed.
Kunkel became dean in Jan­uary
after six years as executive
director of the National Council
for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education.

ABE offers adults
special programs
continued from A-3
children are in school, and
they realize they are not able
to help them with their home­work."
The Adult Basic Education
Program is a branch of the
State of Alabama Department
of Education. It offers sec­ondary
education to adults.
, They can learn to write, pre­pare
for the Graduate Equiva­lency
Diploma (GED), or learn
necessary life skills, Brawner
said.
The program has classroom
atmosphere and meets one or
two nights a week. Classes
meet at Smith Station High
School, Loachapoka High
School, Boykin Community
Center, the University and
other schools in the Lee Coun­ty
area.
"The Adult Ed classes are
individualized, so each person
is working at their individual
program," Brawner said. "No
one is graded, tested or com­pared
against another stu­dent.
"They are not in a situation
of performing. ...Most adults
who didn't graduate from high
school or don't know how to
read have bad memories of
being under thai kind of pres­sure."
The ABE also works with
employers to provide programs
for the Auburn city workers
and the University workers.
The employee is allowed to
have time to pursue hi; educa­tion
while on the job, Brawner
said.
"What we are finding is we
are reaching twice as many
people as we have before," he
said. "It's hard if you work all
day to come home to your chil­dren
and come back to a night
class."
Tutors support
adult learners
continued from A-3
For instance, Liverance's stu­dent
wants to learn about the
Bible. She uses a workbook that
would be simple for someone
who reads, Liverance said.
"It's hard to read if you don't
understand grammar," she said.
"She doesn't realize that a peri­od
means the end of a thought
process."
Liverance and her learner
were matched through a profile
by the Literacy Coalition. They
meet once a week for an hour,
she said. They read Bible stories
and other stories which are tai­lored
to adults learning to read.
When her learner feels that
she can't do something, Liver­ance
said they work on some­thing
else so she will feel suc­cessful.
"When they accomplish some­thing,
they look up with a big
smile on their face, and they
really understand," she said. "It
is like watching children grow
up and take bigger and bigger
steps."
The Coalition receives funds
from the United Way and mem­bers
of the Coalition, Pagan said
"We have asked people to join
the Coalition for any amount
they wish to contribute, and
they become a member," Pagan
said.
"We currently have approxi­mately
25 members who have
actually joined by making a
financial contribution this year.
"Our goal is to have 200 mem­bers
this year and 25 organiza­tional
members such as busi­nesses
and organizations."
The Coalition wants to reach
100 workers which would mean
more volunteers and a full-time
position, Pagan said. Pagan
serves full time, but it is only for
this year.
Liverance said, "These people
are very courageous to stand up
and say T can't read.'"
Budget may be cut
continued from A-l
ulty in his department are
concerned with the cuts in
the summer school budget.
When asked if summer
enrollment will be reduced so
that fewer faculty are need­ed,
Henry said, "We're going
to offer as many courses
available with the resources
available."
A senator for the communi­cations
department said, "It
is extremely demoralizing to
cut our salaries. It will hurt
our ability to recruit faculty."
Departments will decide
what area of the department
will be affected by the reduc­tion,
he said.
Departments may choose to
reduce faculty salaries to
compensate for the reduction,
he said.
Kidnapper sentenced
continued from A-l
instructions.
Thomas E. Jones, Bell's attor­ney,
said, "We felt that we were
very vulnerable to a conviction.
Every police officer in the
Auburn area was involved. We
decided to go ahead and take
the bargain and save Alabama
taxpayers a mess of money."
Myers said Bell will probably
serve six to eight years before
he will come up for parole.
According to the charges filed,
Bell entered Morgan's home at
approximately 2 a.m., Nov. 13 to
report a gas leak at Scott's
Moton Apartment on Slaughter
Street in Auburn.
Bell forced his way into the
apartment at gunpoint, accord­ing
to the filed charges.
Bell eventually released all
hostages unharmed, but did not
surrender to police until 12:10
a.m. Nov. 14.
Education fighting illiteracy
continued from A-3
against a higher property tax,
especially if their children
attend private schools, he said.
Susan Cranfield, an English
teacher at Prattville High
School said, "There is a tenden­cy
to place the poorer teachers
with the poorer students."
This deprives the slower stu­dents
of the extra attention or
tutoring that could be the deter­mining
factor in whether a stu­dent
completes his education,
she said.
Because of limited funds,
lower teaching standards, lack
of interest and overcrowded
classrooms, students are gradu­ating
without the basic skills of
reading and writing, Cranfield
said.
Parental guidance plays a
major role in the child's interest
to continue his education, she
said. A child who lacks parental
guidance doesn't place emphasis
on education, usually because
his parents don't place an
emphasis on it.
In the Developing Language
Arts class which Cranfield start­ed,
the students look to her for
support, she said. She helps her
students study for tests and
always checks their report
cards.
"Most have passed all of their
classes this semester, which is a
first," Cranfield said.
Walker said the high rate of
high school dropout seems to be
the major problem of illiteracy.
Alabama has the second highest
dropout rate in the United
States. Students making low
grades tend to feel their efforts
would benefit more in a low pay­ing
job, she said.
Walden said he is in favor of a
law restricting driver's licenses
to those who are enrolled in
high school or have completed
their G.E.D.
"This would encourage stu­dents
to remain in school as
well as reduce government aid
expenditures."
Bi-city consolidation studied
Jill Waldhour
Staff Writer
Since the United Way pro­grams
of Auburn and Opelika
consolidated, Leadership Lee
County is conducting research
to find other city services that
could or should be consolidat­ed.
"The towns are so indepen­dent
of each other, and have
very different needs," the
director of Leadership Lee
County, Ann Grady, said.
"But merging some services,
such as the fire department,
the police department and
solid waste disposal, could be
beneficial."
It is not an attempt to con­solidate
the cities, but to see
what services could merge to
benefit the two cities, she said.
A short opinion survey was
published in the biweekly pub­lication,
Eagle, which asked
Lee County residents if such
services should be consolidat­ed
and if the LETA Trans­portation
System should be
expanded, Grady said.
Thomas Howard, a member
of Leadership Lee County,
said, "Since the survey was
just published (Sunday), we
haven't had any responses,
and we don't know yet if any
consolidation would be
beneficial.
"It's too early to tell."
Grady said one reason to
support consolidation is that
cities have had problems with
solid waste disposal.
John Heilman, a professor of
political science, said one of
his classes is conducting a
phone survey to determine the
viability of merging the ser­vices
of the two cities.
Leadership Lee County
selects 30 members annually
to participate in such projects.

Trusty Trustees
FRIDAY WAS A PRODUCTIVE DAY for t h e Board
of Trustees, considering hundreds of thousands of
dollars for various projects were approved.
What is certain is t h a t many long-term projects were
completed, such as $700,000 for the lighting of t h e intra­mural
field. The project has been under consideration for
the past three years, but has remained unheard by the
Board until t h a t meeting.
More important was the $1.1 million project to clean up
hazardous waste on campus. The University will construct
a much needed facility to dispose of all hazardous waste
produced on campus.
Finally, after years of research and work, the Board
passed a new core curriculum. The 61-hour curriculum,
which will take effect fall, 1991, will require more classes
in the h u m a n i t i e s . The upgrade will boost academic
credance in the future and will put Auburn in a better
position for attracting quality students.
Circle woes
HOW A P P R O P R I A T E t h a t Auburn's general
interest magazine is known as the Circle. When it
comes to running the publication, problems just
run round and round.
The Board of Student Communications took steps to end
that vicious cycle last week by appointing an ad hoc com­mittee
to review the magazine's guidelines. And the move
has been a long time coming.
The Board is q u e s t i o n i n g s t u d e n t i n t e r e s t , and it
appears to be a reasonable concern. An average of seven
s t u d e n t s currently staff the magazine, which begs to
appear around campus three times a year.
The magazine's publication schedule is one of ill-repute,
however, since the Circle reached the students twice last
year and only once the year before. This year's first issue
is still in limbo, though Circle staff members say it will be
distributed by the end of this month.
The Circle's problems do not rest solely on the staffs
shoulders - no doubt production problems out of their con­trol
weave into this - but certainly the magazine's reputa­tion
will affect staffs to come.
For years, the publication has been struggling j u s t to
gain ground. With any luck the Board's committee will
make recommendations that will put the Circle in a posi­tion
to move forward instead.
Lot of trouble
GET OUT THE EQUIPMENT and start tearing
up the asphalt. After quickly installing a small A-zone
parking lot on the corner of Toomer and Mag­nolia
streets, the University may now have to tear it up to
install 10-foot-wide grass buffer zones facing the streets.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment ruled t h a t city ordi­nances
apply to t h e University, but the University is
claiming exemption as a state agency. The University went
ahead with the construction even though a notification
was sent that the city was appealing the construction of
the lot without the buffer zones.
Now the University is faced with the prospect of having
to tear up what was constructed less than three months
ago because it could not wait to get the lot built. Moreover,
the University violated an Alabama law t h a t states when
an appeal is made, all actions in the involved matter must
come to a halt.
The University's attempts at playing big boy on the
block has put itself in a precariuos position. If the Univer­sity
is now required to construct the buffer zones, the
administrator who gave the go ahead for the construction
should pay the cost. »
Twisters hit Columbus, Auburn
Driving through Columbus,
Ga., Sunday, the reality of just
what a tornado or four can do to
a city hit me hard.
This historic town was no
match for the twisters that
wielded their way through it
Saturday morning, leaving lev­eled
homes and broken land­marks
in their paths.
As good fortune would have it,
no lives were lost as a result,
though some of the structural
damage was devastating.
It certainly wasn't a pretty
sight, but there was something
even more disturbing than see­ing
wrecked homes, trees that
lay helpless on the pavement
and wires hovering over streets
where children normally play.
Strangely, that something was
the difficulty I had in distin­guishing
what parts of the city
were torn up from the twisters
ft
Paige
Oliver
Editor
and what were just plain con­struction
sites.
The usual sight of businesses
boarded up around the city
made it was hard to be sure if
anything had been hit at all. In
fact, had I not heard the reports
myself, I would have driven
through Columbus unaware
that mother nature had reared
her ugly head.
Which brings me to an impor­tant
point — one that only
Auburn folks could appreciate:
If a tornado were to touch down
on the Plains, one wouldn't be
able to make the distinction,
either.
Just tell a stranger - any
stranger - that a tornado did hit
Auburn. Then take him on a
tour through campus (or "the
wreckage"), and see if he doesn't
believe you.
Pass Biggin Hall, a victim of
its own existence. Chat about
the windows and what an eye­sore
that building is going to be
all because of that darn twister.
Working so far?
Stroll through the area behind
old Ross Hall next to Foy Union.
Amaze your stranger with the
one site that truly shows just
how much damage a twister can
cause.
Drive through at night and
show your stranger how much
lighting was affected by the tor­nado.
The library is a good place
to start. Mention that lighting is
"somewhere in the plans, some­where
in the future."
You can basically tell your
stranger that the lights he sees
are the campus emergency
lights. Remember those emer­gency
lights from your nap
times in grammar school as a
child? Think dim.
Of course, if the Stadium's lit
up (though for what reason I
think I shall never know), you'll
have to make something up like
that not even a natural disaster
would touch it. Fortunately for
your credibility's sake, that
probably isn't too far off the
mark.
If your stranger doesn't buy
the whole tornado scam, you'll
have no choice but to explain
the University's priorities to
him.
Chances are, by this point, he
has already figured that out.
'Fascist* joins Mussolinifs circle
Reality has slapped me in the
face. I thought I was a nice guy
with some fairly realistic views
on life and all that it entails.
But, lo and behold, I listened to
"On the Air" last Thursday and
I came to find out that, accord­ing
to one person (who has
never met me and shall remain
unnamed), I am a "fascist" and a
"moron."
Now I'll leave the moron part
up to your own judgment (my
brother might agree, though I'm
sure you would have to argue
with my mother), but a fascist? I
think not.
I would classify fascist as an
overly used word used by those
throwing insults at anyone who
has a conservative viewpoint.
The person who provided me
with these insightful observa­tions
into my character also
tells me I can't be a good jour­nalist
if anything I believe is
even slightly conservative.
I don't know where it has
been written in stone that jour­nalists
must be of the liberal
i
Wade
Williams
Assistant
Features Editor
viewpoint to be good journalists,
but I'm sure it was written by
someone with a liberal view­point.
In any case, let's take time out
to examine some of my ultra
right-wing, conservative, fascist,
moronic views.
• Abortion
I don't want to start another
flurry of proVanti- letter writ­ing,
so I will only mention that I
am pro-choice. Pretty fascist,
huh?
• Socialized medicine
I'm not in favor of completely
socialized medicine because I
believe it breeds complacency
among doctors. I am, however,
in favor of drastic reforms to
reduce the ridiculous cost of
health care. Can't you just sense
my oppression?
• Gun control
As a person who hunts
(maybe that's where I got the
fascist label), I can't see a ratio­nalization
for restricting shot­guns
and rifles, but there is def­initely
a need for severe restric­tions
on handgun purchases.
I'm also not sure that in this
day and age there are not valid
reasons for outlawing semi­automatic
assault rifles.
• The poor and homeless
Without a doubt, our nation
needs to put more resources
toward bringing people out of
poverty and providing them
with homes.
Our welfare system is in need
of drastic reform and impover­ished
people need more educa­tion
for literacy and family plan­ning.
• Education
Also in need of drastic reform
is our system of education. Stu­dents
are not learning enough
in public schools, and the cost of
higher education is skyrocket­ing.
I would not be opposed to a
socialized higher education sys­tem
where there is no tuition. I
think, however, that it would be
extremely difficult to ensure
that government bureaucracy
would not affect the quality of
education.
• Minorities
Any minority with equal qual­ifications
deserves the same
consideration as his or her
white counterpart.
However, whites of today
should not be made to pay for
the mistakes of their ancestors
over which they had no control.
• The environment
Let's faca it. It needs help.
Yep. List the great dictators
and fascists of the world.
There's Adolf Hitler, Benito
Mussolini, Fidel Castro, Manuel
Noriega and of course, Wade
Williams.
Anyhow, I guess I'll just have
to go change majors. You see,
unless I burn flags, save the
whales, eliminate nuclear
weapons and the military, I just
can't protect freedom of speech,
expression and the values of
journalism.
Bush's word of '88 broken by f90
Promises, promises. Why is it
that people listen to politicians
and believe their "promises"
every election year? My favorite
year for broken election promis­es
has to be 1988.
What did George Bush
promise us in 1988? George
promised a competent adminis­tration,
a cleaner environment,
a healthy economy and to be the
education president.
Well, let's talk about a few of
these "promises" the president
made to us.
Last week Richard Darman,
the White House budget direc­tor,
handed out the president's
new $1.2 trillion budget. Guess
who loses in this upcoming bud­get
year? If you said students,
you are correct.
Bush's wonderful new budget
is chock-full of all kinds of good­ies
like capita] gains tax cuts,
social security gimmicks and
cuts in student financial aid.
Gee, cutting student financial
aid will mean that there will be
less money going around to stu­dents
who need it. And that will
mean that there will be fewer
students who can afford to go to
college.
Well, thanks, Mr. President;
you truly care about the coun­try's
future.
I know that if some bozo in
Washington decided to cut my
financial aid, I'd take that
"kinder, gentler nation" and
shove it down the president's
throat.
Then there is this business
about raising Social Security
taxes. I hope my mother will for­give
me, but thank ™u Sen.
Moynihan!
Richard
Parker
Staff Writer
Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D-N.
Y.) has said that this practice
of using the Social Security sur­plus
to help pay off the deficit is
"thievery of the people." You bet
it is.
When I'm working I usually
don't complain about FICA
being taken out of my paycheck.
The reason is that my grandpar­ents
are on Social Security, and
I'd like to think that I'm giving
them back some of the money
they were so kind to give to me.
Oh, by the way, Mr. President,
what about Boston Harbor and
Prince William Sound? I think
this "environmental president"
stuff is a pile of industrial
waste. I'm not even going to
mention the other environmen­tal
promises made by George
that have not been kept.
You're talking about giving
the Environmental Protection
Agency cabinet status. Let's not
kid ourselves; the only reason
the EPA exists is to keep the
Canadians off our backs about
acid rain.
And about your administra­tion...
Dan Quayle? What were
you thinking? Better yet, what
was I thinking when I voted for
you?
The president's big problem is
he's trying to be every president
to everybody. Environmental
president, educational presi­dent,
disarmament president,
etc.
What Bush may have to learn
is that those "1,000 points of
light" may be the lights of 1,000
on-coming trains at the end of
one big tunnel.

Letters
True Auburn not shown
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am utterly embarrassed for
Auburn when I see one of its
plugs during a football or bas­ketball
game on television. The
impression I get from viewing
one of these spots is not one of
a highly respected, quality uni­versity,
but of an urban techni­cal
college.
In many aspects, from the
quality of the video to the silly
jingles, these commercials do
not portray the University in
the professional way they
should.
I make a point to watch tele­vised
sporting events when
they are not held in Auburn.
In nearly every case, Auburn's
spot was upstaged by the other
school's.
The point is not to have a
superior plug, but one that
portrays the school accurately.
In my opinion — although
admittedly biased — Auburn is
a very special school, yet this
is not reflected in its television
spots.
There are hundreds of quali­ty
selling points to this Univer­sity,
but few are explored in
these ads. About the only posi­tive
things in these commer­cials
are the graphics and the
slogan "The Spirit of Auburn."
The spirit is what it is all
about - academics, sports and,
most importantly, the people.
For the sake of public rela­tions,
it would be a wise
investment for Auburn to re­think
its commercials.

Rodeo abuses animals
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to commend
Neil C. Wolff D.V.M. for his
stand on animal abuse at
rodeos. The idea that a veteri­nary
fraternity is the very
group that puts on a rodeo
each year is unbelievable.
I am appalled at the lack of
caring among veterinarians,
the people who you would
think should have the most
compassion for animals.
They seem to feel the same
as most of the population in
this country, "they are just ani­mals;"
not the kind of expres­sion
you would expect to hear
from the veterinary profession.
Since I have been here in
Auburn I have seen more ani­mal
abuse and uncaringness
among veterinarians and
Auburn vet students then any­one
else. Students have too
many animals, letting them
run loose to be hit by cars or
lost.
I attended a blue grass festi­val
put on by one of the veteri­nary
fraternities some time
ago. Almost every student had
to bring their dog to run the
grounds, to fight with other
dogs, in 90 degree weather
with no available water supply.
To me this is animal abuse. I
am amazed the dean of the Vet
School would allow his stu­dents
to set such an example
for the rest of the community.
We have doctors in private
practice that are unavailable
at night; in fact, it is some­times
easier to get in touch
with a medical doctor than a
veterinarian at night.
Last week's letter to the edi­tor
by Wolff has given me hope
that there are veterinarians
that care. I thank him for his
stand and his love of animals.

SGA bashing unfounded
Editor, The Plainsman:
Once again, a Plainsman
writer has engaged in their
most popular form of editorial
criticism — SGA bashing and
Greek bashing. These good ol'
standbys are always available
when some extra copy space is
blank.
In her column of Feb. 8,
Teresa Gaston fails to make
any significant conclusions or
suggestions about the "Catch
22" of SGA elections.
She must have thought,
"Just close with a nice sardonic
quip, and I'm free from saying
anything significant." Howev­er,
her ramblings and accusa­tions
merit redress due to their
baseless nature.
She asks, "What is the real
difference in the candidates for
SGA president and other
offices besides their name and
Greek affiliation?"
Lots of things.
Two years ago the students
elected an independent to the
presidency, last year a female
for the first time.
This year there are several
independents in the cabinet
and the Senate. Each candi­date,
each year, has different
amounts and types of experi­ence
and different views, too.
These can be read in the
election supplement that is
published each spring before
elections. If Gaston would sim­ply
read the supplement her
paper publishes, she could see
the differences.
Gaston also claims that she
has, "yet to see a candidate
who has a viable platform that
HE intends to enforce."
First, does Gaston assume
that only males can and do
hold office within the SGA,
and currently there are more
females than males within the
cabinet and Senate.
Secondly, if it wasn't for the
continuing efforts of the SGA
and the SGA president, there
would be no Student Activities
Building, future pool facility or
intramural lights going up on
the intramural fields.
Last year, Cindy Holland
worked to raise student activi­ty
fees and as a result, they
were raised allowing the Bud­get
and Finance Committee to
provide new equipment for
Recreational Services, the Free
Movie for UPC and the publi­cation
of the Glome rata, just to
name a few.
Without this increase, all
student activity projects (UPC,
recreational services, Glomer-ata,
etc.) would have been
financially cut - reducing the
quality of their services.
The SGA is at work all the
time in committee meetings,
cabinet and senate meetings
and conducting work within
the SGA office - thus the claim
by Gaston that, "Lame duck
elections (produce) an SGA
that meets for 15 minutes a
week" is simply ignorant, ludi­crous
and false.
Research your topic more,
Gaston, before throwing base­less
accusations at it.
Also, the charge that the
"Greeks fill all the offices with
their candidates" is untrue,
proven by the election of sever­al
independent executive offi­cers,
senators and appoint­ments
of cabinet members in
the last four years.
Finally, I simply encourage
all students to get involved in
this year's election. If you don't
like the SGA, get involved and
change the SGA. Look at the
candidates, read the platforms
and decide who to support.
Tripp Haston
Elections Board Chairman
Editor's note: The use of "he"
in references of unspecified
gender is acceptable to avoid
the stiffness of using "one."
Sexism was not the intention
of the writer or the editors in
the allowance of this usage.
'God exists,' then make laws
Editor, The Plainsman:
As radical as it may seem to
most, I believe the fundamen­tal
issue surrounding heated
debates over law — such as
abortion laws - is hinged upon
one's persona] belief and
knowledge of God being active
here on Earth.
But once we decide on what
we believe about God's exis­tence,
we can assign a value to
human life and make judg­ments
as to what the laws of
our country should be. If there
is no God, our laws should
reflect it; if there is a God, our
laws should reflect that.
If we hold a deistic view of
God (i.e., He's out there some­where
but not concerned with
us), or perhaps an agnostic or
atheistic view of God, we are
inclined to believe that there
shall be no acc6unting for what
we do.
We - humans and other ani­mals
- are all biological prod­ucts
of nature created by
chance and therefore without
greater purpose than to exist
and measure our own worth by
our own standards and convic­tions
which will have no tangi­ble
basis or foundation.
The net result of all of this,
when applied to government,
is a government with few
restrictions on people since
morality and law is therefore
viewed solely as the choice of
the individual, and not a code
for society. Similar to this is
our government.
If, however, there is a God
that plays an active role,
things change. He has an abso­lute
law of right and wrong by
which He views all our acts, as
well as those of governments.
Standards then become not a
product of our own personal
beliefs, but of His.
Submitting, then, to His
plan for our lives provides pur­pose.
Many people believe it is
horrible, however, that we
should submit to another, to
God. Who is God that we
should follow Him?
Yet we forget that He knows
us best and has the best life in
store for us, if we follow Him.
The life God lived, in the God-man
Jesus of Nazareth, was to
demonstrate to us His love and
the reality of Him living with­in
the lives of those who choose
to love Him.
Only when we live in such a
manner, individually and in
love, will the heated issues and
conflicts of our day be resolved.
It begins with you.

Glance back
5 years ago, 1985: Auburn's Board of Trustees broke leases with four fraternities that would
require them to vacate their University-owned land by that June to make way for a hotel-confer­ence
center. The fraternities were Phi Delta Theta, Delta Sigma Phi, Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha
Gamma Rho.
10 years ago, 1980: State senators Ted Little and Charles Whatley agreed not to oppose an
Auburn election date change if the mayor and City Council approve a specific date for the change
and if the senators themselves agreed with the date. A proposal to change the date, presented to
the Council earlier in the month, included a petition signed by more than 1,000 Auburn students to
make it easier for students to vote in city elections.
20 years ago, 1970: A group of coeds organized to work for the abolition of women's rules, start­ing
with curfews, meal tickets and compulsory dorm residence.
Quote of the week
"If you're playing with a minor, you're playing with fire." — Birmingham lawyer Frank Parsons in a

Letters
Miss AU Tan still exists
Editor, The Plainsman:
After I read Tau Kappa
Epsilon's letter, "AU Tan con­test
discontinued," I soon real­ized
that TKE had made a
gross error by choosing to view
my letter, "AU Tan exploita­tive,"
as a personal attack.
Do you remember me nam­ing
TKE as the sponsor of the
event? I don't either. They
have hosted the event for the
past nine years, but Budweiser
is the principle sponsor. Appar­ently
they did not read my let­ter
carefully, and consequently
became very defensive.
There certainly was no need
for this type of reaction. How­ever,
as the TKE letter stated,
the group discontinued the
event,this year because they
"decided that the event was
not as classy as it once was."
What their letter did not
state was that new IFC rules
require a fence around the
event and the charging of
admission. Therefore, Bud­weiser
decided to change hosts
for the contest. (This informa­tion
came from a Budweiser
spokesman.)
Do you remember that the
group's letter asserted that I
was "protesting an event that
no longer exists?"
Unfortunately, the AU Tan
contest does still exist. True,
TKE can't host the event this
year because of its "decision."
But Budweiser is currently
seeking a larger group to host
the event this Spring during
Greek Week. That's right.
Regardless of the actual
facts, I am glad that the TKE
letter stated that the group
agrees with me about the con­test
"in many ways." Perhaps
this enhghtenment will carry
over to my intended audience,
those who really are planning
and tanning right now.
The TKE letter does illus­t
r a t e one fact that we all
should know: It never pays to
put down someone personally
simply because you disagree
with them.
In all good conscience, I have
challenged people who love
Auburn and care about its
image to be concerned that a
lewd contest hurts that image.
I will not apologize for defend­ing
that.
Have class. Ban AU Tan.

'Bad' music sells 10 million
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the Feb. 8 Plainsman,
Michael Hatcher expressed his
closed-mindedness toward
heavy metal music. His col­umn,
"Pigs of heavy metal
chuck good taste," reduces crit­icism
to stereotyping and
name-calling.
Hatcher calls Guns 'N' Roses
"arrogant, obnoxious musical
midgets," and says that they
lack musical ability. The last
time I checked, 10 million
albums meant good music.
I agree with Hatcher in that
G'N'R is not up to the level of
the Rolling Stones' greatest.
What modern rock group is?
Not even the Stones them­selves
can make "Satisfaction"
quality songs anymore.
I, too, once disliked Guns 'N'
Roses and heavy metal music.
One day, I put aside my preju­dice
and actually listened to
the music. I liked what I
heard, as did the 10 million
who bought the album.
Your opinion, Platcher, is
"One In A Million." Or should I
say one in 10 million.

Pregnancies will continue
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing this letter in
response to Eric Hanks' letter
last week. It is also directed at
anyone who is trying to
restrict women in the state of
Alabama from having some
control over their own des­tinies.
You are out of your mind if
you think women are going to
stop having abortions just
because you tell them they
should not. If there were 39
deaths reported in 1972 from
illegal abortions, can you con­ceive
of the thousands that
were not reported?
Yes, I fear for my life as well
as that of my sister and moth­er
and every other woman in
the state that might have sex.
I have nightmares of hospital
wards filled with women grow­ing
bigger and bigger while
they are strapped into beds.
I wonder if next year the
