Business sophomore dies of meningitis
Mary Frances Burdeshaw
Staff Writer
Matt Harmon, 02 PB, died Wednesday
afternoon of bacterial meningitis
at East Alabama Medical Center
(EAMC), Assistant Dean of Students
Grant Davis said.
Harmon was diagnosed with the
disease Monday and was in critical
condition Wednesday morning, Dr.
Gerald Everett, director of Drake Student
Health Center, said. He was pro-
Harmon 2nd student to die of disease since January;
Health officials say campus not at risk of infection
nounced dead at 2:55 p.m. Wednesday.
Harmon had just assumed an SGA
cabinet post when he contracted the
disease. His brother, Bart, a 1984
alumnus, said, "His life spoke for
itself."
Harmon, a Selma native, had been
released from the hospital earlier that
day with common cold symptoms. He
was the son of Fred and Ann Harmon
of Selma.
"He didn't have any regrets about
his 20 years, and I loved him all the
way," the elder Harmon said.
"He showed Christ to everyone he
met through his eyes. You could just
see it in him, and that's what made
him special," said Rob Thompson, 04
MK, Harmon's roommate.
Family and friends requested that if
blood is donated, that it be donated in
Harmon's name. Information about
funeral arrangements will be available
through Foy Union.
Harmon was the second student this
year to die of the same type of meningitis.
Paul Fraser, an architecture student,
was taken to EAMC Jan. 23 for
treatment and died three hours later.
The symptoms of the disease are
similar to strep throat: high fever,
headache, nausea and a stiff neck,
Everett said.

Former War Eagle Girls and
Plainsmen Treasurer Carl Davis
was arrested Saturday and
charged with first-degree theft
after more than $3,300 was
reported missing from the organization.
War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen
act as the official hosts and
hostesses for the University.
Warrants on file in Lee County
Circuit Court state that
Davis admitted to University
auditor Fred Bobo that he took
the money. University officials
will not say whether the money
has been recovered.
The money was discovered
missing after an internal audit,
the warrants state.
Davis is scheduled to be
arraigned July 19 in circuit
court, criminal clerk Lee Walters
said Wednesday. He refused
to comment on the charges, citing
legal grounds.
Current Plainsmen Treasurer
Pete Baljet said Sunday that
there was some money unaccounted
for, but he did not know
how much money might be
involved. However, when contacted
again Tuesday, he said
Plainsmen officers had been
instructed to refuse comment.
Plainsmen President Norman
Godwin referred all questions to
George Emert, the University's
executive vice president, who
refused comment.
"Any charges the University
files are public record," Emert
said Tuesday night.
In addition to his post with
Plainsmen, Davis served as
SGA public relations secretary
under former President Scott
Turnquist. The Birmingham
resident was an unsuccessful
candidate for president in the
1989 SGA race as well.
Faculty review
ad-hoc report
Recommends cost-of-living pay,
evaluations of women's salaries

of market value. A-9

Russell Webb, 02 EE, gets down and dirty in this year's Greek Week. He reaches the
finish line of the hat race on Tuesday at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house.
Greek games raise money
Debbie Ruyi
Staff Writer
Greek Week, the annual
fundraising project was
kicked off Sunday with the
Miss Greek Week pageant,
won by Julie Deese of Pi Beta
Phi sorority.
A stepping competition was
added to the pageant, won by
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
There are 13 competitions
in Greek Week this year. Winners
are determined by the
most points gained during the
week.
The money made from
Greek Week goes to the Shug
Jordan-Catherine Cooper
Cater Leukemia Fund.
The ad hoc committee, established
to review faculty salaries,
recommended that faculty
receive a cost-of-living pay
increase, and that the University
evaluate female faculty
whose salaries are lower than
their male peers, Eugene Cloth-iaux,
head of the committee,
said.
Clothiaux, who presented the
committee's recommendations
at Tuesday's University Senate
meeting, said, "We can't tell if
there's discrimination because
all we have is statistics. But
what is obvious from our
(graphs) is that women are paid
lower than men.
"And we recommend that each
woman on faculty be reviewed
to determine if it is discrimination,"
Clothiaux said.
The five-member committee
asked the Senate for its comments
about the report, and
some faculty said they were disappointed
about areas that were
not included.
History professor Allen Jones
said, "There were certain questions
I raised that were not
addressed. How do these faculty
salaries comply with and relate
to the salaries of the administration?"
But Clothiaux said that
because of the complexity of certain
issues (such as the importance
of market value in determining
salaries) and a lack of
time and information, some
issues could not be addressed in
the report.
"It wasn't that it's not important,
but it's a case where.there
wasn't enough time to do it," he
said.
The committee's other recommendations
included that the
University provide:
• Merit pay increases for
deserving faculty

Long graduation expected
Tracy L. Droessler
Staff Writer
Spring commencement exercises
should take longer than
usual because the graduating
class is larger than ever before,
President James E. Martin said.
Between 1,700 and 1,800 students
will graduate June 8 at
2:30 p.m. in the Joel-Eaves
Memorial Coliseum, Martin
said.
"There are more students in
school. The University is growing,"
he said.
Martin said he expects commencement
exercises to take
almost four hours to complete.
"A committee plans the program
so that it runs smoothly,"
he said. "We have learned how
to prevent bottlenecks from
occurring." he said.
John Quiring, 04 GHY, who
will graduate at the end of this
quarter, said, "I don't want to be
in the coliseum for four hours.
About six to eight of my family
members will be there. They
won't like it at all."
Elizabeth Meredith, 04 ME,
said, "I'm just glad to be graduating.
You have to sit through
the whole thing. I almost wish I
were graduating summer.
Auburn is one of the few large
schools that recognizes each
graduate by name, Martin said.
Quiring said, "I've worked for
four long years to get my diploma,
and now I have to wait four
more hours to get it. Now I'm
beginning to regret even going
through commencement."

Frozen embryos,
RU 486 debated
Martha Cronk
Managing Editor
Dudley says RU 486 has
beneficial effects.
V
The question of the viability
of frozen embryos and the RU
486 pill from France were the
main issues of an abortion
debate between Montgomery
NOW President Susan Dudley
and the Rev. Harry Patino,
director of South Florida
Coalition for Life.
The UPC Horizons and Religious
Affairs committees
sponsored the Monday night
debate.
"I think (abortion is) the
foremost issue that needs to
be addressed on campuses
today," Patino, pastor of Faith
Community Church in Miami,
Fla., said.
"The unborn child of today
happens to be the next segment
(of society) to be denied
constitutional rights."
Viability, or the ability of a
being to survive outside the
womb without artificial support,
is an argument used by
pro-choice supporters because
they feel a fetus cannot live
outside the womb, Patino
said.
But "the right to life is not a
biological function. It is a

Opelika gets into recycling craze
Auburn Recycling Center spokesman Robert Schaeffer is
planning a recycling center for Opelika. Although recycling is
labor intensive, officials said it is possible to recycle about 85
percent of the garbage in Opelika over the next 10 years.
According to the proposal, recycling would focus on aluminum,
paper and glass. Recycling plastic would not be economically
advantageous, officials said.*

The need for continued education
and compassion about
AIDS was the issue confronted
by two student speakers at the
Lee County AIDS Outreach
meeting Monday night in Foy
Union.
The speakers were Mark
Davies and Blake Brinson.
Davies is a student at Chandler
School of Theology in
Atlanta and the singles' minister
at Briarcliff United
Methodist Church in Atlanta.
Brinson is a student at Emory
University in Atlanta and a
worker for the National AIDS
Information Line through AID
Atlanta, a social service available
for people with AIDS and
for people needing information
about AIDS.
"Through my formal experience
with the AIDS information
line, I was exposed to a lot of
paranoia that I wouldn't have
been exposed to on the street,"
Brinson said.
"People are afraid. They have
this sense of desperation in
their voices when they call,"
Brinson said. "The information
line is their last resort. They're
afraid to talk to anyone else
about AIDS.
Talking about AIDS is a way
to educate the public about
AIDS, Brinson said.
"When you talk about it, your
a t t i t u d e s about it start to
change," Brinson said. "What
we're working toward with education
is an attitude change
which can result in a behavior
change, which can really stop
AIDS."
While Brinson stressed the
importance of education, Davies
stressed how he had been educated
about AIDS through a
personal experience.
"I don't think there's anything
as revealing as actually experiencing
a personal relationship
with someone who has AIDS —
working with them and sharing
with them in the journey that
they're going through," Davies
said.
Davies became involved with
an AIDS patient at Georgia
Regional Hospital, a psychiatric
medical hospital in Atlanta,
while working in a supervised
ministry, he said.
In the ministry, Davies counseled
10 to 12 patients at the
hospital including an AIDS
patient named "Wayne," he said.
Davies built a relationship
with Wayne without knowing
that he had AIDS, but felt his
attitude change when he found
out, he said.
"I found my whole attitude
about being with this person
and sharing with this person
noticeably change," Davies said.
"There was a lot of fear that
suddenly came to the forefront.
"I remember sitting with this
man and holding his hand and
wondering if there were any
cuts on his hand," he said.
"Slowly, I learned that he was
a person who was in pain, and
suffering not only with psychiatric
difficulties. And that person
needed to be cared for just
as much as any other person."
Wayne's personal request was
to keep his cause of death a
secret to protect his mother
from discrimination, Davies
said.
"Wayne's was the first
opportunity I had to participate
in a funeral," Davies said.
"There was such a feeling of
hope in the life that he had
lived, a feeling of joy in my relationship
with him. There was
also a feeling of sadness knowing
that I was having to grieve
in secret.
"There was so much I wanted
to let that group of people know
at that funeral about Wayne
and about his journey that I
couldn't share because Wayne
had especially said that he did
not want anything to be said
about the disease that he had."
"I thought it was very unfortunate
that the people who were
close to Wayne had to grieve in
secret," Davies said.

In the May 3 issue of The Plainsman, in the story "Volunteers,"
Tom Westmoreland was incorrectly identified as the
president of Directors of Volunteers' Services.
Westmoreland is no longer the president, but was the first

May 10,1990 The Auburn Plainsman A-3
SGA cabinet takes office
Mary Orndorff
Assistant News Editor
An expanded and rearranged
SGA executive cabinet
took office Monday night,
planning budgets, services,
activities and programs for
the 1990-91 school year.
The 67 cabinet members
were chosen from about 200
applicants, SGA President
Terry McCarthy said.
New offices include a director
of Eagle Escorts, a bone
marrow project coordinator, a
director of field operations, a
newsletter coordinator and a
director of Honors Weejt.' ;. .
Cabinet member Michael
Holt's goal is to reinstate the
Eagle Escort program by the
middle of fall quarter, he said.
The program folded in 1986,
and Holt said he hopes to correct
the problems, prepare a
budget and begin safely
escorting students across campus
at night.
"There is a need for it," Holt
said. "It will take a lot of planning,
and we need input from
the students."
"The Hill lighting is just
dangerous," he said. "I don't
see how we got along without
(the escort program)."
Other areas Holt said need
attention include the routes
between the library, the Quad
and the parking lots.
"Campus is so large now,"
Holt said. He will request the
use of a University van to be
' driven by registered escorts,
he said.
There are some liability and
other legal concerns that need
to be addressed before the
program can begin, and Holt
said he will work with the
University police to ensure
the credibility of the program.
The bone marrow project,
coordinated by Sandy Holla-day,
is designed to register
students to become possible
bone marrow donors.
Working with the Red
Cross, the SGA office will
allow 500 students to be
"typed" and have their names
entered in a national drive to
help leukemia patients find
matches, Kristi Stillwell, also
in SGA, said.
One vial of blood is required
to register, and each test costs
$60. But the SGA will pay the
amount for 500 willing students
chosen on a first come,
first serve basis, Stillwell
said.
"You don't have to automatically
give if your type is
matched," Stillwell said. But
she encouraged only students
willing to give to register.
The office of field operations
is also in its first year,
McCarthy said. Butch Parsons
is director and will serve
as a liaison between the SGA
and Auburn's athletic department.
Military drug policy brings
curiosity about ROTC testing
Gretchen P. Skalka
Staff Writer
Although the civilian status of
ROTC members prevents
mandatory drug testing, the
members have mixed feelings
about the policy.
Kenneth Johnson, 04 CJY,
said that one year ago he
brought a case of alleged Navy
ROTC drug use at Auburn to his
commanding officer, Capt.
Richard Phelan.
Phelan said an investigation
into the matter was conducted
but he did not give its results.
Johnson said he submitted
written statements to both Phelan
and University Police about
"a midshipman on campus who
was using marijuana then, is
still using now and will finish
the ROTC program soon," he
said.
Johnson said his concern is
not with drug use, in general,
but with the current military
policy that allows such use in
the military.
"There is a problem with midshipmen
using drugs," Johnson
said.
"They can't be tested until
they're commissioned and
become active in the military.
"These people have an obligation
to the government to finish
the program and go to work.
What then?" he said.
Phelan said, "It would be
naive to say there's no drug use
in the ROTC anywhere, but it's
really not as big a problem as
people would like to think."
Students are tested before
admittance into the ROTC program
and are tested again after
commission into the military,
Phelan said.
"We have significantly
reduced drug use with this testing
and with the policy of zero
tolerance we advocate. I don't
think it's a burning issue," Phelan
said.
Edward Wood, 04 SCR, said
the military is "a discriminating
career, and when you're dealing
with drug use of any kind you
can't do your job correctly.
"You can't do anything correctly
when you're under that
kind of influence," Wood said.
"If these people use drugs now
because they can, and can get
away with it, what else are they
going to do because they can?"
Johnson said.
Commanding officers cannot
force any student to undergo a
urinalysis or other drug test.
But they can expel or discharge
any student found guilty of drug
use after investigating allegations.

After holding session in

According to Robert Widell,

session in Foy Union, which
was part of the University's

Hunt talks politics
John Craft
Staff Writer
Gov. Guy Hunt declared
improving education, fighting
drugs and continuing economic
development as high state priorities
in a speech to the Alabama
Rotary Club Friday night at the
Auburn Hotel and Conference
Center.
Structural changes must take
place in the state's educational
system, Hunt said.
"We need to decentralize to
make sure we don't get the
mandates from Washington and
Montgomery, but rather to put
the power in the classroom and
give the teachers the tools to do
the job they're capable of doing,"
he said.
Parents and children should
have the opportunity to choose
schools, he said.
"Whatever changes we make,
we've got to make sure we're
educating our children for
tomorrow instead of yesterday,"
he said.
Hunt said the high rate of
high school drop outs in Alabama,
as well as in the nation,
alarms him. Currently, only
about 75 percent of high school
students graduate, he said.
"We've got to make sure that a
diploma means something to
these kids," he said.
Another challenge is to make
Alabama a drug-free state,
Hunt said.
In the past two years, 10 laws
have been passed dealing with
the drug problem, he said.
"I think that anyone who
makes their filthy money off the
broken lives of our young people
needs to go to jail and stay there
as long as possible," Hunt said.
Overcrowding in jails should
not be a problem if the state
remains tough, he said.
"I'd rather have a drug dealer
in a penitentiary anytime than
have him on the streets selling
drugs to my kids and grandchildren,"
he said.

Hunt discusses economic development, education and
drugs in Alabama during a speech last Friday.
Hunt became Alabama's first
Republican governor in 112
years when he was elected in
1986.
Hunt said his first goal as
governor was to open Alabama
for more business.
His administration began an
advertising campaign with the
slogan, "Alabama's open for
business," which "painted a new
day for our state," he said.
"We began to see a lot of
things turn around. Unemployment
began to drop and the
budget for education began to
grow."

NASA gives cash
Grant encourages research of
advanced space electronics
Alabama votes on June 5
Tracy L. Droessler
Staff Writer
A $500,000 grant from
NASA will be used to research
advanced electronics for
space.
Ray Askew, director of the
Center for the Commercial
Development of Space Power
and Advanced Electronics,
said the grant will be beneficial
to Auburn's space
researchers.
"A half of a million (dollars)
goes a long way," he said.
"This stimulates other funds
coming from industry. Matching
monies from industry
sources will make it about
$750,000."
"The money will be used to
initiate a research project to
develop advanced electronic
devices that will operate at
temperatures considerably
higher than what we can currently
operate electronic
devices at."
These devices currently
work best at temperatures up
to 125 degrees Celsius, he
said.
Robert W. Johnson, an
assistant professor in electrical
engineering, will be in
charge of the research.
"We will work on extended
operating temperature ranges
for electronics," Johnson said.
"Currently, the range is from
-55 to 150 degrees Celsius.
"There are a number of
applications in space where
temperatures are colder and
hotter," he said.
Johnson said the researchers
will focus on a temperature
range from -100 to 500
degrees Celsius.
The devices are also being
developed for use in automobiles,
he said.
"These devices are pushed
to their limit on hot days,"
Johnson said.
The goal of the research is
to make these devices more
streamlined to contribute to
better fuel efficiency, he said.
"We want to improve by
working with this new
research," he said. "We need
devices that will operate satisfactorily
in hot temperatures."
The development of such
devices could allow for the
exploration of other planets,
but the primary focus is on
automotive use, he said.
In his recent book, The
Monuments of Mars, Robert
Hoagland, a science writer,
said he believes there is life
on Mars.
Askew said, "There are
things you don't know until
you get there. There might be
types of biological systems
that could exist, but no one
has evidence of this. You don't
know until you go and look
around."
Maybe sometime down the
road, these devices will allow
for a trip to Mars, but currently
the researchers will keep
their focus down to earth, he
said.

Moody, who sometimes teaches at Ohio State University,
says she has been sexually harassed five times.
Women in science
face discrimination
Valerie Smith
Staff Writer
The scientific world is dominated
with sex discrimination,
Judith Moody, an individual
consultant from Columbus,
Ohio, said.
Moody, who sometimes teaches
women in science classes at
Ohio State University,
addressed the issue of women in
science last Friday in the
Auburn Hotel and Conference
Center.
Women constitute less than
15 percent of all people working
in the engineering and physical
science fields and drop out of
those fields more often than
men, Moody said.
"This myth should be dealt
with squarely," Dean of the College
of Science and Mathematics
Ivan Legg said. "Women should
be encouraged in elementary
schools."
Moody said sexual harassment
can be a major problem for
students and employees. She
. said she has been sexually
. harassed on five different occa-
. sions.
"Men have a difficult time
integrating scientific professionalism
with the traditional
female role," she said.
^ Women do lpost of the work
on scientific projects, but the
men usually get the credit,
Moody said.
"(Joyce Bell's) research with
the discovery of quasars resulted
in her thesis adviser receiving
the Nobel Prize," Moody
said.
"We don't want to become
pawns manipulated by men,"
she said.
"We suffer salary discrimination,"
she said. "Salaries are tied
to promotions, and women have
problems getting promotions."
Women must meet higher
standards then men to receive
fellowships and other professional
awards, she said.
Because of the small number
of women in science, everything
a woman does is highly visible,
Moody said.
"It's hard to convince employers
we are professionally oriented,"
she said.
Women are told from the
beginning of their educations
that they are bad in mathematics,
she said.
"I believe women are creative,
bright, intelligent people, and
that working to integrate them
in scfence and engineering will
bring positive growth in the
United States," Moody said.
Moody was the first woman to
receivfc a doctorate in geology at
McGill University in Montreal.
English proposed as official language
Britt Blake
Staff Writer
English is not the official language
of Alabama, but a proposed
amendment to the state
constitution will be voted on
June 5 to decide whether this
will change.
"It may seem rather strange
that such action is necessary,
since we, in Alabama, have been
speaking our common language
since before we became a state.
But English is our language
only by custom and not by law,"
Tom Doron, director of the
Alabama English Committee,
said.
The Alabama English Amendment
will help maintain unity,
designate a standard language
for the government and send a
signal indicating that Alabami-ans
approve English as the official
language of the United
States, he said.
Declaring English as "our official
language will change nothing
in the way we go about our
daily activities, but it will
require that all actions of the
government (are) conducted in
English," he said.
The proposed amendment is
not a means to discriminate
against people of other tongues,
but to establish a standard,
much like standards for weights
and measures, he said.
The amendment will not
interfere with the federal
requirements of bilingual ballots
or interpreters in courts. It
states that no one can be
required by law to perform in
languages other than English,
he said.
By making English the official
language, the amendment will
prevent communication problems
like those in Canada, he
said.
"Canada has recognized
English and French as (its) official
languages. This presents a
major problem in communicating
with the residents of the
Province of Quebec, since they
only speak French.
"It is estimated that the cost
of translating into both languages
is in excess of $50 million
a year," he said.
The Alabama English Amendment
is not against multilin-gualism,
will not interfere with
bilingual education and is not
anti-immigrant, he said.
"Official English recognizes
English as the tool by which
immigrants can have equal
access and take full advantage
of the educational, economic and
political opportunities available
to native English speakers," he
said.
Vivian Larkin, adviser to
international students, said, "I
don't believe (the amendment)
will have any impact on the
international students or (others
of a different native
tongue)."
International citizens need to
know English to function in the
United States, she said.

'Science is Fun1
aids in education
Katie Good
Staff Writer
The Auburn Student
Physics Society has started
educational recruiting in
Alabama high schools.
The "Science is Fun" program
aims to spark students'
interests in physics and to
persuade them to come to
Auburn.
"We try to show the students
that physics can be
applied to everyday life. We
make sure the students can be
a part of the demonstration,"
Gary Cantini, a member of
the Auburn Physics Society,
said.
Auburn students volunteer
to be recruiters in the program
because they enjoy
physics and see the need for
creating greater interest in
physics, Cantini said.
The students teach when
they have free time, usually
between quarter breaks.Mar-llin
Simon, associate professor
of physics, said.
"Science Is Fun" began
when the Student Physics
Society approached Simon
about a service project.
"Ten or 15 years ago, we
(Simon and another professor)
tried to go every other
Wednesday to Jeff Davis or
Robert E. Lee (Montgomery
high schools) and take over a
class. It was a soft-sell
recruiting effort," Simon said.
"Demands on our time got
greater. Teachers would call,
and we would have to try to
get someone else to go. When
the Physics Society was looking
for a project, things just
fell into place," he said.

Grazing grass may breed difficulties
Gretchen P. Skalka
Staff Writer
Although the grass may be
greener, a study by the Alabama
Agricultural Experiment Station
at Auburn (AAES) shows
that tall fescue, a lush green
grazing grass, causes problems
for horses and cattle.
Tall fescue has been popular
in the United States for many
years, covering 900,000 acres in
Alabama and more than 34 million
acres nationwide.
"The fescue was planted primarily
because it stays green in
the winter and provides good
sod. However, we've found that
it also causes negative effects in
the reproduction of horses," said
Sidney Beckett, professor of
physiology and pharmacology
and Associate Dean for
Research and Graduate Studies
in the Veterinary School.
An endophyte fungus, acremo-nium
coenophialum, found in
the tall grass grazed by horses,
resulted in prolonged or aborted
pregnancies, little to no mammary
gland development and
foals born weak, dead or
deformed.
In 1988, researchers at the
experiment station began comparing
pregnancy factors and
foal conditions from mares grazing
both infected and clean fescue.
"Most of the fescue grown in
the United States is toxic. Of

These horses grazed on fungus-free fescue, and Beckett says tests showed that the horses
have no health problems, but most of the fescue grown in the United States is toxic.
course, the ideal situation would
be for it all to be clean, but the
problem is that contamination
occurs in the seed," Beckett
said.
An unclean seed will infect
the pasture. But if the seed is
clean there is no chance of infection,
he said.
Jim Brendemuehl and Tim
Boosinger, Auburn animal
health researchers in charge of
the AAES project, studied the
fescue's effects by moving mares

from infected or clean pastures
to the opposite type about 10
months into their pregnancies.
"The mares that were moved
from clean to infected fescue
showed signs of infection," he
said, "as if they'd been grazing
the unclean pastures throughout
their pregnancies, while
those moved from infected to
clean fields showed signs of
improvement, such as normal
hormone and mammary development,
within a few days."
"The mares grazing infected
fescue experienced prolonged
gestational periods, close to 360
days, and a higher rate of stillbirths
and delivery difficulties,"
Brendemuehl said. The foals
were larger than average and
exhibited deformed musculature.
The results of the AAES
research can be used to help
horse producers utilize fescue
without damaging the health of
mares and foals, Boosinger said.

'Get High on Life* nominated for national award
Pam Radtke
Staff Writer
Auburn's Wellness Week program,
"Get High on Life," was
recently nominated as an outstanding
residence hall program
by the American College Personnel
Association's (ACPA)
Commission on Student Residence
Programs.
"This was really a big deal
because we were in competition
with relatively well-established
programs," Becky Bell, assistant
director of housing, said.
The program is sponsored by
Auburn's Department of Housing
and Residence Life and the
Residence Hall Association
(RHA). It ran from March 1-8
and was among 13 programs
considered for the award.
The topic of this year's Wellness
Week was alcohol and drug
awareness, a topic Bell chose
with the help of a graduate student
in housing.
"But the reason the program
was such a success was because
Program seeks drug prevention
Alabama uses
plan of its own
to stop abuse
Kriste Goad
Staff Writer
Drug use and abuse is a growing
problem throughout the
world, and Alabama is no exception,
Mark Meadows, associate
dean of the College of Education,
said.
Meadows is the director of the
Strategic Rural Intervention,
Prevention and Education
(STRIPE) drug awareness program.
It is aimed at junior high
and high school-aged youth.
Auburn faculty, the College of
Education and the School of
Pharmacy developed the program
in 1988. Funding was provided
by a $189,000 grant from
the Drug-Free Schools and Communities
program.
"We felt there was a need
throughout Alabama," Meadows
said. Teams from 12 school systems
in the East Alabama Education
Consortium met in
Auburn last summer for a three-day
workshop.
"The teams were trained in
education and prevention using
models we had developed. We
also developed action plans to
intervene," Meadows said.
Development of STRIPE took
about a year to complete. The
School of Pharmacy provided
audio-visual and instructional
materials as well as the technical
knowledge for the program,
William H. Campbell, dean of
the School of Pharmacy, said.
Auburn surveyed about
142,000 seventh, ninth and 11th
graders statewide in 1989. The
survey was used to develop a
profile of drug use and knowledge
among the students.
"It provided a needs assessment
and was used in developing
action plans (for STRIPE),"
Meadows said.
The use of most drugs in
Alabama is lower than the
national averages, Meadows
said.
Hayden Center, administrative
assistant of STRIPE, said,
"I think we do have a drug problem
in Alabama. Alcohol would
be the problem drug of the
state."
STRIPE ended April 30, and
according to Meadows, the
results of the workshop as well
as the program were positive.
David Crouse, assistant principal
of Opelika Junior High
School, said, "We've done one or
two projects in terms of drug
awareness to supplement the
ongoing programs provided in
the general curriculum."
Rosell Sims, assistant principal
at Opelika High School,
said, "We have not caught any
students here with drugs or
alcohol this year, but that isn't
to say there's not a problem."
Auburn High School has created
a Students Against Drunk
Driving club as a direct result of
the STRIPE program, Don Belk,
an instructor, said.
"It has been very positive, but
we still have a long way to go,"
Belk said.

of the number of residents and
staff who got involved with the
program this year," Bell said.
A committee chose the events
and activities for the Wellness
Week. They included a "mock-tail"
party, speakers and DUI
programs. More than one-third
of housing's residents signed
cards pledging not to drink and
drive during spring break, Bell
said.
"We plan to make this an
annual event," Bell said. "We
haven't yet decided on the topic,
but I hope to get a group of residents
and staff together to
decide."
The University of Maryland at
College Park won the award for
its program, "African-American
Awareness Month: Celebration
Through Education."
The programs were judged on
the basis of effective design,
implementation and evaluation.
"I think the major thing was if
the program took a relevant
issue and made it something
that the students got actively
involved in," Bell said.
Excellent employees accept honor
Britt Blake
Staff Writer
The University started its
Employee of the Year program
last month by naming four
staff members who have
excelled in their work over the
years at Auburn.
The first employees of the
year are Nancy Burns, a secretary
in the department of
continuing education; Jo
Hawkins, assistant to the
dean of the College of Science
and Mathematics; Ross Pugh,
a research technician in veterinary
medicine's department
of physiology and pharmacology;
and Marvin Pitts,
an orderly in the veterinary
medicine's department of
large animal surgery and
medicine.
"I consider it an honor representing
so many people who
are very deserving, and I
think this whole new program
is absolutely great," Burns
said.
Being chosen as an employee
of the year "makes you
have a lot to live up to,"
Hawkins said.
"I've always tried to work
with the students," Pugh said.
He sets up labs and does the
handiwork with electrical and
mechanical machinery.
"When it comes to my work,
I try to give 100 percent. I feel
like I'm there to serve the professors
and help in any way I
can," he said.
Pitts, who is responsible for
the upkeep of the large animal
clinic, summed up his
emotions in one sentence: "It
feels fine."

We want to "dispel the
fears and convince the students
that (meningitis) is not contagious,
compared to a virus," he
said.
The only ones who need to be
treated are those who have had
close contact with him, mainly
through intimate contact or
sharing the same glass, he said.'
"So far, six students have been
t r e a t e d through the Health
Department," Everett said.
They are being treated with a
"preventative medicine...called
Ritampin. They are 300 mg capsules
to be taken two times a
day for a total of eight capsules,"
Everett said.
The medication provides protection
against the bacteria that
causes meningitis and was recommended
by the Public Health
Department.
Bacterial meningitis is an
infection that enters through
the central nervous system,
including the brain, spinal fluid
and spinal column, he said. An
ear infection or sinus infection
allows it to spread, he said.
The bacteria that causes the
disease is present in the nostrils
of about 25 percent of the population,
he said. The person who
carries this bacteria has usually
been a lifetime carrier and is
normally immune to it, Everett
said.
There have been 15 cases in
Alabama since Jan. 1. Nine of
these cases were in March.
The number of cases has
increased this year compared to
last year's eight cases, Everett
said.
The fatality rate for this type
of meningitis is approximately
20 percent, he said.
The disease can be successfully
treated if it is caught in time
by injecting massive doses of
penicillin intravenously, he said.
"There have been scattered
reports (of meningitis) all
through the South," Everett
said.

"Our administration stands

Faculty finds money doesn't grow on trees
Years of service
doesn't mean
fatter paycheck
Emily Riggins
News Editor
The administration
expects a $16.3 million
budget increase,
half of which will be allotted
to increase faculty and
employee salaries. But some
professors fear it won't be
enough to retain current faculty.
"People want to get the hell
out of here," history professor
Allen Jones said. Jones is
retiring after teaching at
Auburn for 25 years.
"The University is going to
bring someone in here at an
assistant level position and
pay them what they're paying
me. It's like what (Miller)
Solomon said, the longer you
stay here, the further behind
you get."
Jones said faculty who
have taught at Auburn for
several years are retiring
early because they can earn
more money receiving retirement
benefits and seeking
other employment.
"Teachers can retire and
draw full retirement and get
a job someplace else and
make a good salary," Jones
said. "We're tired of being
treated unfairly because we
have devoted our life to
teaching."
Although Jones has complained
about salary discrepancies,
he said President
James E. Martin ignored his
complaints.
"Dr. Martin has thumbed

Gratification from teaching not in pay;
marketability gives basis for salary

his nose at us. He said if you
don't like it, sue. Is this an
attitude for someone who has
been here less than we
have?" Jones said.
Jones cited a history professor
recently hired at
$55,000 as an example of age
discrimination in faculty
salaries. "This amount was
more than the present
department head, and it is
more than I make."
Martin said faculty are
hired at salaries that reflect
their experience in the field.
Pay increases are determined
by the teacher's quality of
research, instruction, availability
to students and other
factors.
"A faculty's salary is determined
by an accumulation of
all of the past recommendation
from department heads,"
Martin said. "It's not something
that occurs in one year.
It's the individual's salary
history since coming to
Auburn.
"The amount of pay available
is a function of the
amount available and evaluations
from department
heads over time."
Other factors that affect
salaries are the number of
students in the department
and how the department
compares with similar
departments by rank at other
universities, Martin said.
But Solomon, the former
University Senate president,
said if the proposed budget
increase offers the faculty,
who have not received a pay
raise in two years, an 8 percent
salary raise this year,
salaries will still be too low
because the cost of living has
increased about 11 percent in
the last two years.
Martin said when new faculty
are hired, their salary is
determined by contributions
and experience before coming
to Auburn.
But a salary increase is
also dependent on the budget.
Because the University's
budget fluctuates every year,
faculty are not always given
a pay increase, he said.
"There is nothing in the
process at Auburn University
that says that faculty get a
raise," he said. "Faculty are
employed at Auburn for a
stated salary, and I suppose
the reason for that is appropriations
go down in some
years."
Solomon, in his final
address to the Faculty Senate
as president, recommended
that the University put a
"freeze" on hiring until current
faculty receive an adequate
pay increase.
See Professors', A-16
Determining a faculty
member's value is a difficult
but necessary task
when salaries are concerned.
President James E. Martin
listed market worth as a determining
factor in setting salaries
because faculty who earn high
salaries in the market must be
paid accordingly to attract them
to the University.
Although not all faculty agree
about the influence of market
value, Lowder Eminent Scholar
Robert Ekelund of the economics
department said market
supply and demand are the
most accurate indicators of faculty
value.
"It's hard to judge production
of faculty, but market value in
the long run does a better job
than any individual could do,"
Ekelund said.
The market value of faculty
should be used to set salaries
that will attract quality faculty,
and if University salaries do not
match market offers, quality
and production will decrease, he
said.
"If market opportunities are
not taken into account in paying
teachers, there will be a shortage
of teachers, and quality will
be poor," Ekelund said.
Vice President of Academic
Affairs Ronald Henry agrees
that market value cannot be
ignored when setting faculty
pay.
"A university has to pay competitive
market salaries. In
some disciplines, value is significantly
more than in other disciplines."
If interdisciplinary pay is
equal and not affected by market
worth, Ekelund said, "It has
inevitable consequences — the
chief one being a decline in the
quality of education at Auburn
University."
Economics professor Richard
Alt said, "People complaining
that they are underpaid are
really saying they wish they
had better alternatives. A lot of
these comments coming from
Liberal Arts reflect the envy of
individuals who chose fields
that are not highly paid in preference
to those that are highly
paid."
Miller Solomon, former president
of the University Senate,
disagrees with this theory.
"That is at best an uninformed
response, because the
whole basis of the response is
contrary to the way that professors
think about the meaning of
life and their choice of a profession.
"They are presuming that the
only determining motivator in
choosing a career is market
value, and anybody who doesn't
select the most remunerating
discipline to go into is stupid,"
Solomon said.
Although there will be pay differences
between disciplines at
a university, Solomon said, the
differences should not be
extremely varied.
The market value may show a
large gap between disciplines,
but most faculty have similar
training and amount of experience,
he said.

Committee reviews salary inequities
Emily Riggins
News Editor
Last winter, Academic
Vice President Ronald
Henry established an
ad hoc committee to review
faculty salaries. The committee,
comprised of five faculty
members, found that faculty
salaries in several instances
decrease with the number of
years at the University.
An appeals court in
Atlanta last May upheld a
district court's decision that
said existing and older faculty
are discriminated against
when a university hires
younger faculty at higher
pay.
Although the ad hoc committee
was not a result of the
age discrimination lawsuit,
Eugene Clothiaux, head of
the committee, said, "The
committee concluded that
there could be a real disparity,
because old members of
the faculty are not being
rewarded in a way that fits
new people coming in at the
same rank."
The committee recommended
that the University
correct salary inequities.
"We recommend that the
administration commit itself
to a continuing program
designed to rectify the existing
large salary discrepancies
created by the need to
pay ever-increasing salaries
to new faculty," the report
said.
The report included graphs
that showed a significant difference
between male and
female faculty salaries.
A bar graph for the School
of Architecture showed that
the range of salaries for
women is about $23,000 to
$45,000. The range for men,
however, was about $24,000
to $68,000.
The graphs do not include
rank.
The range of salaries for
women in the School of Engineering
was about $13,000 to
$46,000. Men's salaries
ranged about $13,000 to
$95,000.
"We have looked at where
there are inequities. And the
administration can determine
if they are because of
real reasons, or whether
there is discrimination. And
if it is discrimination, it
should be corrected," Clothiaux
said.
"All we had to work with
was gross statistics that didn't
give details. There could
be a problem, and it should
be looked into."
The committee also recommended
that the University
provide a cost-of-living salary
increase for all faculty.
"The committee narrowly
favored a fixed amount
rather than a percentage of
current salary, since inflation
is hardest on those with the
lowest income," the report
said.

Mullen awaits decision on faculty pay
Matt Smith
Staff Writer
It is now up to University
administrators to correct faculty
pay inequities cited in the ad
hoc committee's report, Senate
Chairman Gary Mullen said.
"I think what needs to happen
will be some concrete steps on
the part of the University to correct
these inequities," Mullen
said Tuesday before the report's
presentation.
"What remains to be seen now
is how the administration reacts
in allocating resources."
Mullen said the report, which
was formally presented to the
University Senate Tuesday, was
a positive step because it recognized
inequities in instructors'
pay which the report said have
created morale problems.
ij'The report points out what
We should not allow ourselves to fall into the
trap of hiring faculty at competitively high
salaries when the system cannot afford it.
- Gary Mullen
people already knew. In that
sense, I don't think it will be a
shocking report, but a first
step," he said.
It confirmed many professors
suspicions that "the longer one
stays at Auburn, the worse off
one becomes," the report said.
Its findings should help alleviate
the perception among faculty
that their complaints are
being downplayed or ignored by
administrators, Mullen said.
The report cited growing
inequities in pay between faculty
who h&ve been at Auburn for
several years and newer faculty
who have been recruited at
higher salaries because of
"demand-in-the-field" hiring.
"At this point, it's all a matter
of discussion," Mullen said.
"There has been no decision
reached as to how much will be
broken down (for salary adjustments)."
The report supported the theory
which was advanced several
times in the past year by faculty
members.
Complaints about field-demand,
hiring prompted a lawsuit
in November 1989 claiming
age discrimination in professors'
salaries. The University settled
the case out of court.
"This should not have to be
settled in court through litigation,"
Mullen said.
He said field-demand hiring
can be justified, particularly in
business and engineering, but
warned that there is "a matter
of degree" involved.
"We should not allow ourselves
to fall into the trap of hiring
faculty at competitively high
salaries when the system cannot
afford it," Mullen said.
"This market force is something
that has to be accommodated,
(but) there is a matter of
how much £he University prostitutes
itself % the market."
Cliff Oliver/staff
Mullen, thje new faculty senate chairma^, says it's up|to
the administration to make a change in faculty salaries.

Abortion debate continues
continued from A-l
function of technology," he said.
With increased technology, the
fetus may be able to develop
outside of t he womb in the
future, he said.
Dudley, an assistant professor
of psychology at Auburn Univer-sity
at Montgomery, said,
according to the 1973 Roe vs.
Wade Supreme Court Ruling,
the fetus is not an independent
being until after six months and
therefore is not viable.
"The fetus is not capable of
thinking, feeling until the seventh
or eighth month."
Since a frozen embryo does
not grow while frozen, it is not a
viable source of life either, Dudley
said.
The 1989 Davis vs. Davis case
in Blount County, Tenn., decided
by Judge Dale Young, concluded
that the fetus can exist outside
the womb although it is frozen,
Cliff Perry, associate professor
of philosophy, said. The case
"takes a more restrictive notion
of viability."
If RU 486, the abortion-inducing
agent, comes to the United
States, "pro-abortion doctors
will lose a lot of money," because
they will no longer get revenue
from abortions, Patino said.
According to nurse practitioner
Terry Smith at Drake Student
Health Center, RU 486 is
the chemical and common name
for the abortifacient. It was
found in Europe in 1985, and
studies began in 1987.
"If the pregnancy is in place,
implanted (and the pill is taken)
you will have a period, and
there will be no pregnancy," she
said. The pill is taken after a
period is missed.
There is no "positive pregnancy
test." Within 72 hours there
is a miscarriage. It is effective
in 98 percent of the cases, she
said.
Dudley said there are beneficial
effects of RU 486. It can
treat other illness. But i t is the
only drug not allowed in the
United States because of political
reasons, she said.
In Mexico, where abortion is
illegal, 1.5 million were performed
and 140,000 women died
from them in 1987, Dudley said.
In the United States, 1.6 million
legal abortions were performed
and six died from complications
in 1987, she said.
Patino said abortion would be
OK if pictures of the developing
fetus were shown to each
woman during pre-abortion
counseling. "About 99 percent
would change their minds," he
said.
Another pro-choice argument
is "a baby becomes a 'person'
when it goes through the birth
canal," Patino said. "(But) if you
can't kill it one second after it
comes out of the birth canal,
why should (you) kill i t before?
"The most dangerous place in
America is inside a mother's
womb," Patino said.
A main concern is only "perfect
white babies" are wanted by
adopters. Of the children waiting
to be adopted in Alabama,
60 percent are 8 and older, 20
percent are disabled and half
are black, Dudley said.
The number of abortions
when abortion was illegal corresponds
with the current number
of legal abortions, she said.
"I am not fighting for a woman's
freedom to have an abortion.
I am fighting for a baby's
freedom not to be aborted," Patino
said.
"The only legitimate reason
for abortion is when the life of
the mother is t r u ly endangered,"
he said.
Dudley said, "Abortion is the
only medical procedure in the
country that is not given government
support."

Students gain from job site
Architects, contractors, builders guide seminar
Liz Armstrong
Assistant News Editor
About 150 Auburn students
put on hard hats for some
hands-on experience last Thursday.
The Alabama Concrete Industries
Association (ACIA) and
architects and contractors for
The Commons housing complex
participated in an educational
seminar to benefit the civil engineering,
building science and
architecture departments.
"This is a concrete seminar,
and it's held every year. Basically
what they do is keep us interested
in concrete," Will Barnes,
04 AR, said.
Students listened to professionals
speak and toured the job
site where The Commons is
being built at Thach Avenue and
College Street. The architects
explained their roles, the contractors
brought in a chief estimator
and the job site was
reviewed.
"They take us to a site and to
an engineering facility and then
give us some literature about it
and explain any new techniques
or short cuts they've found.
Every time we go out to a real
site, it just backs up what we've
learned from books," Barnes
said.
Lots of questions you
want to ask in the
classroom, you can't
really ask unless
you're on the job site
with a teacher with
you.
- Craig Clement
Project manager Wally Wilcox
said the seminar gives good
inside information on how
things are done.
"We did this as a service to
the University, as a courtesy. We
volunteered our time to assist.
You can learn a lot more by
putting your hand on it than by
getting it from a textbook,"
Wilcox said.
Another student, Craig
Clement, 03 BSC, said, "It's like
on-job type learning we never
get to do in the classroom. Lots
of questions you want to ask in
the classroom, you can't really
ask unless you're on the job site
with a teacher with you."
Wilcox said, "(The seminar
and tour) showed how a project
like The Commons gets off the
ground. I think it was educational.
A lot of questions were
asked."
Professors went along to help
answer questions.
"This definitely gives a better
perspective of what the job will
be like," Clement said. "There
are different ways of looking at
things with contractors. What
looks good on blueprint may not
look good out in the real world."

THERE IS NO DOUBT t h a t some faculty salaries
are out of proportion.
Some faculty members who have been teaching at
the University for more t h a n 10 years are getting paid less
t h a n some j u s t hired. Some new instructors are offered
relatively exorbitant salaries to attract them from companies
like IBM and General Dynamics
To attract quality faculty, prospective instructors ought
to at least have t h e assurance t h a t with quality perfor-
'mance their salaries will continue to rise at a reasonable
rate.
Unfortunately, to offer those salaries, hard choices must
be made. Does Auburn want better salaries, buildings,
equipment or campus safety? All of t h e s e things cost
money, of which there is a limited supply.
To get several will require more money from the Legislature,
which in turn, means raising taxes. No chance, in
today's "Read my lips" climate.
Make your choices, Auburn. Something will have to go.
There's more...
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, this University's athletic
department is facing budget cuts.
Athletic Director Pat Dye is imposing a 7 percent,
across-the-board cut for all programs for fiscal year 1991.
"Across-the-board," of course, is an ancient Latin word
that means, "Football, too."
Dye said the cuts have been prompted by a fear of
depleting the department's reserve funds,
After years of frivolous spending on surf and turf meals
for players, the marble Taj Mahal which houses the athletic
department and the tidy little stipends players get while
on away trips, the department has finally decided to come
back to earth and tighten its belt.
It's hoped that Dye has finally come to the realization
that this is a state land-grant University and not a country
club.

MANY THOUGHT the IFC's new alcohol policy
would put a damper on Greek social events. The
Greeks, however, have shown t h e IFC t h a t not
only can they manage a good time in t h e face of a paranoid
policy, but they can also do some good by starting recycling
programs. The proceeds are going back into the fraternities'
social funds, or in some cases, to charity.
; IF THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE allows scient
i s t s to unlock the secrets of t h e u n i v e r s e , Auburn
deserves some of t h e credit. Its research was essential to
the telescope becoming a reality.

research, but the value of achievements such as this cannot
be overlooked.

Grads love cap-and-gown thing
Get ready for the long haul.
With exactly 30 days till graduation,
there are close to 1,800
graduating seniors contemplating
the big day. But they really
don't have an idea of the significance
for this particular graduation.
On June 8, Auburn University
will graduate its largest graduating
class in history, and with
this milestone will come a logistics
problem from hell.
Once upon a time, the University
decided to read out the individual
names of all graduating
seniors, and as the students
walked across the stage, they
would receive their diploma and
shake hands with the president.
Well, Auburn students fell in
love with the entire commencement
process, and every year
about 80 to 90 percent of those
graduating participate in the
ceremonies.
This year, though, there will
have to be changes because the
(Rap Paul
DeMarco

¥ Assistant
300 additional and an expected
3,000 extra guests attending the
ceremony. The Coliseum was
already pretty tight last year
with some 10,000 guests.
With graduation right around
the corner, it is too late to make
any major changes. But the
graduation committee made
some recommendations Tuesday
that it hopes will streamline the
entire process. These recommendations
include:
• Having the students go
straight to their seats instead of
marching in with the processional
music of pomp and circumstance
sounding off in the
process. (That's no fun.)
• The students entire name will
not be read. So instead of Joe
Bob Smith Jr., it will simply be
Joe Smith. (Ho-hum.)
• If you are graduating with
any type of honor, such as
Magna Cum Laude, then you
will only be recognized at the
end by standing up instead of it
being read with your nam
