Chemical leak closes Haley Center
By Matt Smith
News Editor
A polyurethane roof sealant
leaked Into ventilation ducts on
the Haley Center roof Friday,
causing the building to be evac­uated
until Sunday, according
to Auburn Fire Department Lt.
Alan McCord.
"They were doing some kind of
roofing up there, and the fumes
got sucked into the air ducts
and all through the building,"
McCord said Friday.
The workers were putting the
sealant on the west side of the
Haley Center roof, where most
of the air conditioning equip­ment
Is located. The ventilators
began to draw the fumes into
the building. Fire Chief Steve
Woodall said.
Haley Center was closed until
Sunday to allow the workers to
finish applying the sealant and
completely flush the fumes from
the building.
Fire department units arrived
at about 3 p.m. Friday to clear
the building, and University
police closed off surrounding
streets to prevent anyone from
entering. The building was
reopened Sunday about 8 a.m.
McCord said the chemical,
toluene di-isocyanate, is an eye
and skin irritant that can be
flammable or toxic in high
enough concentrations. Woodall
said Monday there were no
Injuries reported from the inci­dent.
University Environmental
Health and Safety Director
Charles Ray said Tuesday that
he had received no complaints
about the fumes until he was
contacted by University police at
about 3:50 p.m.
"By that time, the building
had been pretty much evacuat­ed,"
Ray said.
University goes
after minorities
By Melissa Denney
Staff Writer
A $92,000 grant from the
U.S. Department of Education
has made It possible for Auburn
to have a summer graduate
education program for under­graduate
minority students,
according to Dr. Dennis Fried­man,
the program coordinator.
Twenty Alabama students are
attending the nine-week pro­gram
which started June 19, he
said.
The program includes Juniors
and seniors with at least a 2.75
GPA on a four-point scale. They
must be enrolled at Auburn or
one of Alabama's historically
black universities and demon­strate
financial need. Seven stu-
Firemen cleared the fumes by
using the building's air condi­tioning
to blow them out
through the doors on the first
floor.
University Bookstore Assis­tant
Manager Betty Weldon said
she began to hear complaints
about the smell in the building
at about noon. She said she
thought someone was spraying
insecticide, and she eventually
got used to the odor.
"The evacuation's definitely
hurting business," she said.
"Because of the freshman orien­tation
and this being the first
week of classes, business was
heavier than usual.
"Since it was the first day in
more than a week that it's
stopped raining, everybody was
hoping to take the afternoon off
anyway."
See HALEY, page 6
dents from Auburn are partici­pating,
he said.
The purpose of the program
was "to encourage the students
to pursue graduate degrees, and
to prepare minority undergrad­uate
students for graduate
school and to better equip stu­dents
for graduate level work,"
Friedman said.
The program has three major
parts: scholarly writing, re­search
in graduate education
and a horizons program. The
students will receive 13 quarter
hours of undergraduate credit,
he said.

Airport expansion
plan being studied
By Kristin Mackenzie
Staff Writer
An $8 million, 1,000-foot
extension of the Auburn Airport
runway is being reviewed,
according to Doug Watson,
Auburn city manager.
The runway is perpendicular
to Glenn Avenue, which would
be rerouted to accomodate the
project.
Although there is a 90 percent
grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration for this exten­sion,
the additional 10 percent
must come from the Auburn
and Opelika city councils and
Lee County funds, Watson said.
The Auburn City Council has
approved its share, but the Ope­lika
City Council has not, Wat­son
said.
Opelika Mayor Bobby Free­man
met with University Presi­dent
James Martin and Vice-
President George Emert on
Monday concerning the Univer­sity's
involvement in the exten­sion.
Lee County and the University
do not have the funding for the
extension at this time Freeman
said. He said he was hoping to

Library may stop
lending magazines
By Ken Klrksey
Staff Writer
In addition to the obvious
changes being made to the
Ralph Brown Draughon Library
(RBD), some changes not visible
to the naked eye are being con­sidered.
Specifically, the library is
looking to revise its serial circu­lation
policies.
'What we're trying to look at
is would we serve people better
by just keeping periodicals in
the library and having them
photocopy (the articles they
need), which we try to encour­age
now anyway," said Glenn
Anderson, acting head of the
humanities department at RBD.
Anderson is chairman of a
committee that will explore
possibly restricting charging Out
periodicals. The committee
includes other library depart­ment
heads Yvonne Kozlowski
(social sciences) and Jini Bal-achandran
(science and tech­nology).
The current policy allows fac­ulty
members to charge out
bound periodicals for seven
days and unbound periodicals
for one day with special permis­sion.
Students can charge out
bound periodicals for one day,
with special permission only.
This policy suffers from some
abuse, Anderson said.

J l O m C l C S S •50 left with no fall housing as University overbooks dorms
By Jennifer Allen
Assistant Copy Editor
Approximately 50 freshmen
attending summer quarter will
not have the University Housing
they were promised for fall
quarter, said Kim Trupp, assis­tant
director of University hous­ing.
"It's a very difficult thing
to...go back on what you've told
people, Trupp said. "And that's
what we had to do.
"We had a normal policy
where we say to people that
start in campus housing in the
summer (that) we'll guarantee
them housing for the fall, no
matter how late they apply."
This policy is also outlined in
the New Resident Brochure as
well as the Student Bulletin.
The two publications indicate
that students who begin resi­dency
summer quarter have pri­ority
over those entering fall.
However, for some freshmen
who submitted applications
after the April 1 deadline, this
policy was withdrawn.
They received letters stating,
'We will be able to house you for
Summer Quarter, but due to the
fact that University Housing is
severely overbooked for Fall, the
guarantee of Housing for that
quarter (as explained on page 4
of the New Resident Brochure)
Is no longer in effect."
Michelle Heery. 01 EH. said
she gave up her summer Job to
come to Auburn, Just so she
would be guaranteed housing
for the fall.
"That's the only reason I'm
here," she said.
Traweek Watson, 01 PB, said
she is here for that reason as
well. "I came summer so I would
have somewhere to stay fall,"
she said. I
The two freshmen applied in
early April and received the let­ters
withdrawing the guarantee
at the end of May. "By then, it
was too late to find a summer
Job or go to another school,"
Watson said.
There were two reasons for
the withdrawal of the policy.
Trupp said, "We accepted, first
Art by LeeAnnFlynn
of all, too many new people, and
secondly, we had more of our
returners sign up than antici­pated.
'We can't keep accepting peo­ple
to housing if we don't know
where we're going to put them.
So that's why we had to with­draw
the offer."
As of now, there is much con­fusion
as to what will happen
fall quarter. "I'm in the dark
right now as to what to expect,"
Trupp said.
If there aren't enough cancel­lations
and no-shows to allevi­ate
the situation, plans have
been made to house some extra
students.
"There is a possibility that we
might have to put five people in
the (CDV) extension apartments
that are meant for four people.
And also out in old CDV, we
have two-bedroom apartments

[Aerospace engineers get NASA grant
By Gay Watson
Staff Writer
I
The aerospace engineering
department was recently award­ed
a $105,000 grant from NASA
for the development of a senior
aircraft design program to be
added to the curriculum,
according to James O. Nichols,
associate aerospace engineering
professor.
'We have been participating
in a space design program simi­lar
to this, now we have added
the aeronautical," Nichols said.
Approximately 60 students
are expected to participate in
the three-year, three-quarter
program. Half of these students
will work on aeronautical prob­lems
and half on space projects,
he said.
"We will be paired with NASA's
Langley Research Center,"
Nichols said. "And they will pro­vide
us with suggested projects
and technical assistance when
we have questions.
"The purpose of it is to build
the design programs at various
universities."
There are 10 universities par­ticipating
in the aeronautical
portion and 28 participating in
the space design part of the
NASA-funded project nation­wide,
he said.
"We have had a design pro­gram
for years and years, and
our design program is a good
design program, but this grant
will put some money into it,"
Nichols said.
The funding will be used for

"Next summer (there) will be a
summer conference where all of
the schools participating will
come together to present the
results of their design work," he
said.
NASA ultimately hopes to get

programs, he said.
"They're encouraging the stu­dents
to be creative and not just
rehash the things that have
been done," he said. "But (they
should) try and come up with
some new ideas, new ways of
doing things.
"The market has dropped off

stimulate the market."

Senate votes down polystyrene foam j
By Itellssa Denney
Staff Writer
The University Senate ap­proved
a resolution June 20,
recommending that the Univer­sity
replace polystyrene foam
(Styrofoam) products with ade­quate
substitutes, said Microbi­ology
Instructor Debbie Folk-erts,
faculty adviser for the
Environmental Awareness Orga­nization
(EAO).
The SGA and Graduate Stu­dent
Organization have ap­proved
similar resolutions,
which originated with the EAO.
Folkerts said.
While food services has
expressed a willingness to go
along with the recommenda­tions,
it has met with difficulties
In finding acceptable sources for
these substitutes, said Art Call,
director of University food ser­vices.
'The companies that we have
contacted are asking for a 100

as simple as, 'Let's change to
paper,'" Call said. "Feasible
alternatives are not available.
The quality of some paper prod­ucts
is not as good as Styro­foam.
In order to get the quality,
we will have to pay the higher
price."
The preliminary investigation
indicated a 40 percent increase
in the price of coffee cups, Folk­erts
said. The EAO is also help­ing
to initiate the design of a
paper take-out container for
meals.
"The lag in production of
paper products was real inter­esting,"
Folkerts said. "I was not
expecting that. This must mean
t h a t there is an increased
demand for those paper goods
now, which must mean that
there is increased awareness
about this problem.
"We should be sort of happy
about that, except that it causes
us a specific problem."
An increase in the demand for
paper goods causes other envi­ronmental
problems as well, she
said.
"The real message We all need
to get out of this is that we have
to move away from disposable
goods," Folkerts said. "Having
paper disposables is not really
the best answer. It is just a little
bit better than Styrofoam."
The EAO has made the issue
Its "pet project," Folkerts said.
"A lot of people say Why this?
There are all kinds of environ­mental
problems, why did you
jump on Styrofoam?'"
There are five environmental
problems with polystyrene
foam, according to Folkerts.
•Ozone depletion. The chlori­nated
fluorocarbon (CFC) gases
contained In many polystyrene
foam products are implicated in
the depletion of the ozone layer.
•Solid waste. Polystyrene!
foam products are non-biode-*
gradable and cannot as yet be^
efficiently recycled. They con-j
tain a lot of air and do not get;
compressed. They usually rise;
to the top of sanitary landfills
and add to existing landfill over-}
crowding problems.
•Litter. Polystyrene foam;
products are visible and can be*
seen on roadsides everywhere. I
•Petroleum depletion. Like all
plastics, it is made with the use?
of petroleum. There are proba-a
bly more important uses o^
petroleum than polystyrene*
foam production.
•Greenhouse warming. Most?
environmentalists agree that?
greenhouse warming is current-^
ly the number one environmen-J
tal problem. CFC's are implicat'-J
ed as a contributor to green-j
house warming. CFC alterna-j
tives are also greenhouse gases. *
!
Five problems with
polystyremefoam:
• Ozone depletion
• Solid waste
• Litter
• Petroleum
depletion
• Greenhouse
warming
"It (polystyrene foam) is some*;
thing that we don't need. Wef
can easily get rid of it," Folkerts;
said. V
"And if you don't get rid of;
the easy and wasteful thingsj-;
then you will never make those^
changes that require harder^
lifestyle changes. We have got tqj

Japan
Fukai wins
Ivy League
fellowship FI**
By Leann Blackstock
Staff Writer
University scholar Shigeko N.
Fukai won a Harvard University
fellowship to research Japanese
land policies that have affected
Japan economically and politi­cally.
Fukai is the Japan program
director for Auburn's Center for
International Commerce. She
was one of three persons select­ed
to be an associate of the pro­gram
on American-Japanese
relations of the Center for Inter­national
Affairs at Harvard Uni­versity.
Associates have full-fac­ulty
status, she said.
The program's purpose is not
only to allow interaction with
other researchers, but also to
encourage the pursuit of inde­pendent
research on American-
Japanese relations. Fukai said
she will write a book on her
research topic - "The Political
Economy of Japan's Land Poll-cy.
Generally, land policies of a
nation or city involve the prob­lem
of land price, land use and
fair land distribution, Fukai
said.
The purchasing power of the
yen is greater in the United
States than in Japan. Land and
labor costs are thus lower here,
Fukai said.
Along with U.S. protectionism,
she said these factors are incen­tives
for Japanese companies to
move their plants into the Unit­ed
States.
"Japanese companies' real
estate purchases are concen­trated
in certain areas of the
U.S., such as in Hawaii," Fukai
said.
"There are more than 800
manufacturing plants, and they
employ 140,000 workers. This
benefits the U.S. and Japanese
economies," she said. "Their
economies are becoming inter­twined.
However, because of the
close relations there is friction
between the two countries."
Each year, the Center for
International Affairs at Harvard
University selects a group of
outstanding researchers to
interact with representatives
from Japan and other countries,
she said.
Of the 18 chosen to be associ­ates.
11 are Japanese, and for
the first time, a Soviet scholar is
involved, Fukai said.
Other associates include
economists from Georgetown
University and the World Bank.
The Japanese participants are
mostly from trading companies,
manufacturing firms, major
banks and governmental agen­cies,
she said.
A native of Tokyo, Fukai
became a U.S. citizen in 1977.
She has worked for the Auburn
University Center for Interna­tional
Commerce since 1986.
Fukai was on the political sci­ence
faculties at Arizona State
University and Auburn and was
a visiting scholar at Tokyo Uni­versity
and Tsukuba University
in Japan.
She holds a law degree from
the University of Tokyo, a mas­ter's
degree in international
relations from the University of
Denver and a doctorate in politi­cal
science from the University
of Tennessee. She was also a
Fulbright fellow when she
attended the University of Den­ver.

Study: counties
need home rule
By Tim Bain
Staff Writer
Tax reform is vital to keeping
many Alabama counties finan­cially
solvent and will be a
major Issue In the gubernatorial
race In 1990, according to Keith
Ward, director of Auburn's
Center for Governmental Ser­vices.
Some counties In Alabama are
In danger of Insolvency - not
being able to pay dally operating
costs, such as payroll - and
cannot Initiate the tax changes
necessary to meet costs because
of the current state tax struc­ture.
Ward said.
Other counties that can meet
daily operating costs cannot
make long-range plans because
"they don't know where t he
funds will come from," Ward
said.
The local revenue sharing act
of 1972 distributed federal rev­enue
back to counties, cities
and states based on a popula­tion
formula. It was phased out
In 1987 during the Reagan
administration and some coun­ties
lost as much as $1 million,
he said.
Of Alabama counties, "Mont­gomery.
St. Clair and Jefferson
have a degree of financial home
rule, while the other 65 counties
must rely on the state Legisla­ture,"
Ward said.
The three counties "have local
laws that allow them to adjust
tax rates and what gets taxed,"
Ward said.
Any tax proposed in the
remaining 65 counties, other
than property tax, must have
the support of the local legisla­tive
delegation and then be
approved by the Legislature.
County property tax must be
approved by the state Legisla­ture
and then approved by a cit­izen's
referendum. This doesn't
happen often. "Fourteen of the
last 18 property tax referenda
have failed," Ward said.
Lee County Commission
Chairman Hal Smith said,
'We've seen what voters in other
counties have thought about
increasing property taxes."
Smith said he knows of only
one such referendum which has
been passed.
Lee County is not in any dan­ger
of becoming insolvent.
Smith said, but, "tax revenues
have not kept up with cost of
doing business, particularly In
road and highway work.
'We're not like the federal gov­ernment.
We can't crank up the
printing presses. We have to
operate on a balanced budget."
Until people are willing to pay
more, county services will have
to remain frozen, he said.
Although Lee County Is finan­cially
sound. Smith said the
county could put more money to
good use.
"Right now, the number one
priority Is improving roads and
highways," Smith said. "Salaries
for county employees need to be
adjusted upward. It's hard to
compete with private industry at
our present pay scale. It's also
hard to maintain good law

Maggie Steiner, 03 GSC, said
she was working in the Liberal
Arts office at about 10 a.m.
when people started to complain
about the fumes.
"I thought it smelled like
magic marker ink, and my
friends said it was more like
paint. It was really bad." she
said.
Dr. Dennis Friedman, aca­demic
advisor to the School of
Fine Arts, said he came Into the
building at about 3 p.m. and
went to the liberal Arts office on
the second floor and to a class­room.
"I noticed the smell as I went
Into 1203. I was wondering if I
was feeling funny, or funnier
than usual. Nothing serious,
just kind of nauseous or dizzy,"

Friedman said.
WEGL closed its studios in

Bob French, 06 SC. said
the station did not find out
about the leak until about an
hour after the building had

been evacuated.
"It's definitely a health haz­ard.
At the very least, my staff
should've been informed, for
their safety's sake and because
FM-91 is the voice of the Uni­versity.
We should have received
information to broadcast to the
community about the accident."

I Shock art
repulsive
social refuse
Dali is dead, and I am abso­lutely
nauseous. The art world
is trying to make art transcend
its aim of beauty and enter a
world of the vulgar and mun­dane.
Oscar Wilde called art "quite
useless." He felt that it should
concentrate on merely being
beautiful and have no utilitari­an
aim. Leo Tolstoy spoke
about how art should bridge a
. gap between artist and recipi­ent
to form a union of emo­tion.
If Tolstoy's ideas on art are
anywhere near what is correct,
' the emotion that is evoked by
the latest "shock art" move-
( ment is nothing more than
sheer disgust.
Today we grab anything and
everything, sign it and call it
art. What we consider art
bears hardly any resemblence
to traditional forms of art.
Granted, art, like many other
j things, is quite evolutionary.
Artists move from medium to
medium. However, what I am
troubled by is the subject mat­ter
of what is called shock art.
"Shock" finds its media in
various things, even painting
and sculpture have no sanctity
j in its wake. There is a great
j movement by various pseudo-artists
to try to repulse the
viewer. Scenes of vomiting
I people are on display at the
Museum of Modern Art, this
; shows how much the idea has
; grown in recent years.
When there is a demand for
it at one of the nation's great­est
museums, this shows that
it is becoming rooted in soci­ety.
Shock art has been popular­ized
by many artists who are
not in the mainstream, such
as Gretchen Bender, Laurence
Salzman and the controversial
Sex Pistol mastermind Mal­colm
McLaren.
Other subject matter em­braced
by shock art reflects
scenes of open wounds and
bleeding nudes. These are
scenes that convey no beauty;
they simply disgust.
Why has the art community
embraced this shock art? I feel
the reason is that art has
become too mainstream.
It is everywhere, which is
not bad if the art is good. How­ever,
we are surrounded by
cheap lmmitations of art.
Formerly art patronage was
an elitist establishment. Art
was thought to be somewhat
intimidating by the general
public.
Now it is embraced not only
by the elite in society, but it
has moved down to the vulgar
masses. Pseudo-art is every­where
and everyone is claim­ing
to be an artist or patron.
At a recent Sotheby's sale,
many lesser works of art went
for astronomical prices simply
because there were large
quantities of novice buyers
who were going for a name and
not a work itself.
Vulgar art is not a manifes­tation
of beauty, nor does it
evoke a soul stirring emotion.
Everyone cannot be an artist.
Just like everyone cannot be a
physicist or a philosopher,
though many try.
Art is a field that takes a
visionary talent to master.
Someone who can convey a
feeling to those whose eyes are
blocked to the beauty of every
day reality.
It should not be used as a
constant reminder to the
everyday grotesqueness that
can be found by peering into
the local gutter.
We may have reached a
point of discovery about the
art world in particular. The
conclusion is that more may
not necessarily be better.

commented on the actu­ality
of life as it was in the 50s.
Publicity Manager Chappy
Hardy said, "Montgomery has
been a really nice place to
work."
He hopes that the movie will
be released nationally in Febru­ary
and maybe a limited release
in December.
He stressed that the movie is
not a documentary about civil
rights. Instead, this particular
movie deals with the changing
values and attitudes in the time
of the civil rights movement.
Hardy described the film as "a
heart-warming story about the
gradual enlightenment of peo­ple."
'The Long Walk Home" stars
Sissy Spacek and Whoopie
Goldberg.
Spacek plays the part of a
white upper-class housewife
and Goldberg is cast as her
maid. The movie shows their
changing relationship, especial­ly
during the Montgomery Bus
Boycott in 1955.
Chappy said that the film
seemed to be coming along won­derfully.
Chappy also added.
"This crowd scene today is the
biggest and probably most
expensive production scene of
the movie. There are 150 extras
ranging in age anywhere from
30-60 years old."
Even more interesting were
the participants reasons for get­ting
involved.
Henry Marcus, 52, recently
received his degree in English
from Auburn University in
Montgomery. He is interested in
pursuing a career In motion pic­tures.
Steve Simpson, 31, had an
historical reason to attend the
filming. He said that his father
was on the White Citizens
Council meeting in 1956.
Entertainment
Spotlight
Steve was born just before the
actual event took place. He said
wanted his kids to see him on
screen.
He commented on how much
fun he has had being in show
business for a short time. They
are currently filming in his
neighborhood.
Another participant is Mary
Vickers, 58. She has lived in
Montgomery all her life. Her son
lives in Los Angeles, Calif. She
said every time she visits him
she hopes to get in a movie.
"Now, Hollywood has come to
Montgomery, and I finally got a
chance to participate in a life­time
dream," Vickers said.
In the movie, Vickers stands
at a bus stop holding a bag of
groceries. The Rev. Wilson sees
her and says, "We are boy­cotting
all buses lady. Don't get
on the bus. I'll take you home."
Although many people have
reasons, there are some that are
j u s t in it for the fun. Dan

Extras had to wait for hours for scene filming of The Long Walk Home
Dykes, 24, and Trae Hawkins,
22, are in the scene.
Dykes is a graduate from
Auburn. He said that he was
sitting with three of his friends,
and they ran across an adver­tisement
in the Montgomery
paper about this crowd scene.
They said they decided it
would be great fun to come out
and see what stardom was all
about
Hawkins is a graduate of the
University of Alabama. He felt
the same as Dykes. He said he
wants to see himself on the
screen and be able to point him­self
out for his kids to see one
day. He said it was "just some­thing
fun to do."
Waiting
Movie prospect seeks turn for
the silver screen last Friday.
Scouts were said to be looking
for clean-cut looking men in
suits. The movie, which stars
Sissy Spacek and Whoopie
Goldberg, will be released in
February.

Orientation leaders ease freshman adjustment
Larisa Lambert
Assistant Copy Editor
Art by Alan Efkew
I ncoming freshman are full
of exuberance, excitement
and questions, according to
student orientation leaders who
are available to answer the
questions.
"My favorite part of being an
orientation leader is that I help
freshmen learn about Auburn
from a student's point of view,"
Mark George, 04 MK, said.
There are eight orientation
sessions during the summer for
the incoming freshmen and
their parents. During orienta­tion,
they are given pamphlets
and information sheets about
nearly every aspect of campus
life at Auburn.
"The orientation leaders'
responsibilities include answer­ing
questions about campus life
and activities at Auburn and
making the incoming freshmen
feel at home. Part of this
includes showing them that
there is a place for them at
Auburn," Shannon Knight,
02 EEC, said.
"There are 32 orientation
leaders. Each leader is given a
partner and the partners meet
witli groups of 25 to 30 incom­ing
freshmen to give the fresh­men
a chance to ask their ques­tions
in a smaller group.
"We meet with our group at
'... I help the
freshmen learn
about Auburn
from a student's
point of view.'
-Mark George
two different times and eat din­ner
with them," Knight said.
The orientation sessions last
for two days and begin on either
Monday or Thursday.
"After the night session we
have a student convocation and
Miss Auburn, a UPC represen­tative
and other representatives
from different aspects of cam­pus
life talk to the freshmen,"
Mark Pelham, 04 VBI. said.
A slide show, a skit presented
by the orientation leaders and a
skit with Aubie and the cheer­leaders
follows the convocation.
"The skit with the orientation
leaders is based onGilligan's
Island and is a funny way of let­ting
the freshmen know about
how to get involved in campus
life.
"We tell them in the skit about
Foy Union, hostess groups and
what The Plainsman is," Pelham
said.
"After the skits, we have a
meeting for those interested in
Greek activities, and then we
have a band party.
"When I came to orientation
as an incoming freshmen, I
enjoyed asking questions. I
wanted to be an orientation
leader so I could meet incoming
students and help make them
more comfortable at Auburn,"
Pelham said.
Orientation leaders are select­ed
spring quarter. After applica­tions
are turned in, some appli­cants
are called back for inter­views
and leaders are selected
after interviews.

nizes the orientation leader pro­gram.

Boris Grebenshikov
Columbia Records
• • • •
Boris Grebenshikov, the post-
Glasnost soviet rock 'n' roll leg­end
has made his American
debut, with Radio Silence.
The album was created in
English, except for a version of
the early 20th century Russian
poet Gumilyov's "China," and a
Russian original entitled 'Young
Lions."
Music Review
This is the premiere record
released in America by a Rus­sian
artist.
Although Grebenshikov seems
to foster hesitations about his
capabilities of writing in
English, he claims that, "though
there are certain colors that are
brighter and certain nuances
that are missing, the energy is
the same and the feeling is the
same."
Radio Silence is produced by
David A. Stewart, who is re­sponsible
for the enormous suc­cess
of the Eurythmics. The
album features Ray Cooper,
Annie Lenox, Chrissie Hynde,
other Western rock stars and

members of Grebenshikov's pio­neering
Russian band. All of
these luminaries help Greben­shikov
to form his own intrigu­ing
version of rock 'n' roll.
The album has a produced,
techno-acoustic sound, which is
strong, with distinct rhythms.
Grebenshikov's songs aren't
thrasher tunes, and they defi­nitely
are not top 40.
His progressive sound some­what
resembles that of Lou
Reed and David Bowie.
Radio Silence is far from being
termed "religious." Greben­shikov
simply addresses the
imbalance that exists between
the male and female elements of
the world (love) and the absur­dity
of the planet (life).

solidify their position a s the pre­eminent
p r a c t i t i o n e r s of pro­gressive
music.
The a l b um pops into gear
with the opening track, "Some­thing
to Say." This song boasts
a m e s m e r i z i n g c h o r u s and
chord progressions that Peter
Buck, REM's lead g u i t a r i s t,
would kill for. Lyrically, this
song is talking about the dan­gers

MacMillan wails, "And I
still believe that you were dying
to be everything, to everyone,

The s e v e n t h t r a c k on the

standout cut. It is a perfectly

immediately accessible melody

leaves shivers up and down the
spine of the listener.

' Hard to tell

I It is easy to tell the good

they are on the field.
I But when sports move Into
politics and the courtroom,
what is right and what is

of baseball," he shows up on
television telling the print
media exactly how stupid they
aire.
'{ Choosing sides is difficult.
2 Concerning Pete Rose, as a
baseball conservative, I never
like to see the courts involved
with the game, much less miti-
« gating the commissioner's
ijpower like Judge Robert

I But forgetting about Rose's

Ups and downs of Tiger success

Staff Writer
NCAA not gh with Dare case
according to Birmingham News story
By Jon Collins
Staff Writer
Accusations of wrongdoing in
the 1988 recruitment of Enter­prise
native and University of
Alabama lineman Charlie Dare
surfaced again late last week.
An article that appeared in
the Friday, June 23 edition of
The Birmingham News stated
that an NCAA investigator had
been in Enterprise and Auburn
this month looking into four
charges of rules violations.
Dare's case arose late last
summer when his father, Robert
Dare, claimed that his son had
been promised by coach Pat Dye
and assistant coach Bud Casey
that he would receive help to
become academically eligible to
play as a freshman if he signed
with Auburn.
Dare signed a football schol­arship
with Alabama but had to
sit out the 1988 season because
of failing to meet the academic
requirements within Proposition
48.
Auburn conducted a three-month
internal investigation
into the matter and found noth­ing
to substantiate the Dare
allegations. It did, however,
reveal at least one minor viola­tion
which led to the suspension
of Casey from recuiting on the
road.
The action was not connected
with any type of alleged promise
to Dare concerning academic
eligibilty, University officials
said.
The News article stated that
"copies of interview transcripts
that a source familiar with the
investigation said were forward­ed
by the SEC to the NCAA" had
been reviewed. The transcripts
obtained by The News reported­ly
included Interviews by the
SEC with both of the Dares and
also Carolyn Dare, Charlie's sis­ter.
Other than the charge made
last summer concerning Dye
and Casey, three other charges
are being investigated, accord­ing
to The News.
The charges stated that:
• a Dothan businessman
offered to provide the Dares
with a condominium in Florida
to escape the recruiting pres­sures
before the national sign­ing
day on Feb. 8, 1988.
• Auburn provided a motel
room, meals and entertainment
for Dare's sister and a friend
during Dare's Jan. 23, 1988,
official visit to the school.
• Auburn coaches made more
than the allowed three off-cam­pus
recruiting visits to Dare.
Ron Benefield, the Dothan
businessman mentioned, told
The News he "offered use of his
condo only as an act of kind­ness
and compassion for what
the Dares were going through."
I Ed Lupomech, ah NCAA field
investigator, was in the state
more than two weeks ago, his
See DARE, page 13
When Pat Dye came to
Auburn eight years ago, he
promised he would field a hard,
competitive football team that
would show up every Saturday.
Since 1983, only Miami,
Nebraska and Oklahoma can
boast topping the Auburn
Tigers in winning percentage.
However, great expectations
usually accompany past suc­cess,
and already, three presea­son
publications have launched
the Tigers among the nation's
elite. All three foresee Dye's
troops attaining their third con­secutive
Southeastern Confer­ence
title and finishing a fourth
straight season in the nation's
top 10.
Athlon's, a Nashville, Tenn.,
based publication, has been in
existence since 1967.
Covering the Southeastern
Conference, Athlon's picks the
Orange and Blue to finish third
in the country, behind only
Southern Cal and defending
national champion Notre Dame.
Linebacker Quentin Riggins is
a preseason Ail-American
according to Athlon's and joins
quarterback Reggie Slack and
offensive linemen Ed King and
John Hudson on the All-SEC
squad.
Auburn has appeared in
Athlon's preseason top 10 five of
the last seven years.
Lindy's, a Birmingham-based
magazine, has covered the SEC
since 1982. Lindy's picks
Auburn in their preseason top
10 for the third straight year,
this time at number six. Only
Michigan, Notre Dame, South­ern
Cal, Miami and Florida
State rank higher in Lindy's.
No Tiger made Lindy's All-
American unit. Riggins, King,
defensive back John Wiley and
outside linebacker Craig Ogle-tree
made the conference team.
Lindy's ranks the SEC position-by-
position and declares the
Auburn offensive and defensive
lines top in the conference.
Auburn's quarterbacks and
linebackers both placed second.
Finally, Don. Heinrich's Col­lege
Football, a publication cov­ering
every major conference in
the country, picks Auburn
eighth behind Notre Dame,
Michigan, Southern Cal. Miami,
Florida State, Penn State and
Where Auburn ranks
ATHLON'S -3RD
LINDY'S - 6TH
COLLEGE FOOTBALL - 8TH
Nebraska. The eighth place
ranking is the lowest in three
years according to Heinrich's.
Last year, Heinrich's placed
Auburn fourth, while in 1987,
the Tigers were picked second
behind Oklahoma.
Dye, who himself was named
Athlon's National Coach of the
Year before the 1983 Sugar
Bowl season, is also not one to
live and die by the preseason
polls.
"It's a compliment to our pro­gram,"
he says, "considering the
kind of players we lost. We'll
have to come a long, long way
this fall to be as good as those
last two teams were. But I think
we'll be competetive."
3 gymnasts receive academic honors
By David Hardee
Sports Editor
Three lady Tiger gymnasts
have been named academic Ail-
American by the National Colle­giate
Gymnastics Association
for Women.
Junior Kim Suarez, sopho­more
Ashley Richard and fresh­man
Kasey Pewthers received
the honor for maintaining a
3.50 grade point average during
the year or their careers.
"These girls are extremely
deserving of the honor," coach
Robert Dillard said. "The entire
team had a strong quarter aca­demically
this spring."
Richard, a sophomore from
Baton Rouge, La., has a 3.61 in
pre-med. She had a 4.0 this
spring and was named to the
Athletes' Academic Top 30 in
the fall and spring.
Suarez, a junior from Tampa,
in International Business. She
was named to the Athletes' Aca­demic
Top 30 in both the fall
and winter.
Richard and Suarez, along
with Juniors Lisa Grieco and
Michelle McBride and sopho­more
Sheila Ransone were
Pewthers
Fla., has a 3.52 in pre-physical
therapy. She posted a 4.0 and
was named to the Athletes' Aca­demic
Top 30 in the winter.
Pewthers, a freshman from
Coral Springs, Fla.. has a 3.51 Suarez
Richard
named to the academic All-SEC
honor roll in May. Pewthers was
ineligible for that honor because
sophomore status athletically is
a requirement.
Auburn's five All-SEC gym­nasts
academically were second
only to Alabama's six in the
conference.
Suarez was the team captain
in 1989. She set the second-best
floor score in Auburn his­tory
with a 9.60, tying the Stu­dent
Activities Center record.
She also tied the second-best
all-score in lady Tiger history as
well as the third-best beam and
vault scores ever. She was the
lady Tigers' No. 2 all-arounder.
Richard set the fourth-best
bars score in Auburn history,
the sixth-best all-around and
floor marks ever and the sev­enth-
highest beam score to
date.
Pewthers had one of the most
outstanding freshman cam­paigns
in Auburn history. She
set the third-best floor score,
tied the fifth-best bars mark
and tied the eighth-highest
vault score in lady Tiger history.
Rosen looks to new leadership, national exposure
By Shawn Mathls
Staff Writer
The Auburn Track teams
posted several noteworthy ac­complishments
last season to
add to its list of achievements.
Four Tigers made indoor Ail-
American, while the women
posted their best SEC indoor
championship finish ever. The
men won seven events at the
first Auburn A-Day Invitational.
Track coach Mel Rosen,
preparing for his 35th season at
Auburn, commented on the
improving state of Tiger track
and field.
Q. The Tigers were tel­evised
six times last season in
national competition. How
much does this help the
team?
A. National exposure has
always helped because all over
the country people know about
Auburn football, now they know
that we have a track team too.
Alabama is not strong in track
because of football. Good ath­letes
like Bo Jackson play foot­ball
instead of run hack.
Q. Five members of the
Auburn track team have
appeared at the Olympic
Games since Harvey Glance
won a gold medal in 1976. Do
you foresee any members
going to the Olympics in the
near future?
A. It's difficult to make the
Olympic team. Right now I can
see some of our former athletes
having a chance. Brian Abshlre
and Kevin Henderson have a
chance. As for current athletes,
Boris Coins, Kelly Carter and
Clifton Campbell have a chance.
Q. What exactly is the new
Rekortan surface used at
Auburn's Wilbur Hutsell
track?
A. It's the same type track
used in the Los Angeles Colise­um.
It's a rubberized surface.
It's fast, but it's easy on the
legs. The surface is made by a
German company (it cost
$300,000). The company is very
proud of it's work, and ours is
one of the best laid tracks in the
country.
Second in a series
Q. How many seniors did
the team lose this year? Will
this have a large impact?
A. For the men, we lost Tracy
Garrison, Boris Coins, Rick
Hayden, Tim Horn, Randy Hud­son,
Craig Musselwhite and
Curt Skaggs. For the women we
lost Cheryl Glenn and Camaro
West. We really did have a
young womens team.
Q. Who do you think the
new team leaders will be?
A. Brett Roby and Karin
Saunders will be leaders. For
the women, Sissy Costner,
LaKeta Ziegler and Kelly
McDonnell will be leaders.
Q. What kind of recruiting
year have you had?
A. I think we've had a fine
one, although we will be weak in
the high Jump. For the men, we
signed twins Andrew and Neal
Butler from Rhode Island which
will bolster our middle distance.
For the women, we signed twins
Mellnda and Melissa Williamson
from Mobile which will also help
with middle distance. We also
signed Kim Snipes, a Tennessee
state champion, Shandi Cosby,
a Massachusetts state champi­on,
Monica Frisch, a distance
runner from Germany and
Angela Johnson, one of the best
sprinters in the nation.
Q. Did the Tigers have
Rosen
many problems with injuries
last season?
A. Unfortunately, we had
more than in previous years. I
hope we can prevent them this
year.

220 participate in hoops camp
Barkley slam dunks, offers advice to young players
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
Philadelphia 76er Charles

the game to this year's partici­pants

Camp last week, but not
before he was welcomed back to
trained from June 18 to 22 at
Joel H. Eaves Coliseum. This
was the second camp held this
summer, camp director Carol
Ross said. This camp had 220
participants, which is the maxi­mum.
The purpose of the camp,
Ross said, was to allow the girls
to experience individual and

"Nobody's going to out-work
me," Barkley said, "and none of
you should ever let someone

The NBA power forward and

a much-needed break for

game's fundamentals and allow
them to witness the college
environment. The assistant
coach of the Lady Tigers was
assisted by former and current
basketball players during the
training.
"This year's talent level is
good," Ross said. "Some of the
girls are here just for fun, some
are interested In a basketball
scholarship and some will never
play again," Ross said.
Training began at 8 a.m. for
the girls, who spent most of the
morning rotating through sta­tions
that emphasized such fun­damentals
as dribbling, shoot­ing
and rebounding. The after­noons
and evenings were spent
with strength training or shoot­ing
contests. Their day conclud­ed
at 9 p.m., but not before they
competed against one another
in individual and team competi­tion.
Girls came from as far as Cal­ifornia
to participate in the
camp that has hosted such
Auburn cagers as Ruthie Bolton
and Carolyn Jones. The camp
allows Auburn's coaches to wit­ness
some of the nation's young
talent.
Ross, who nas led the Lady
Tigers' Basketball Camp for the
past seven years, said that the
camp's success is measured
through its return rate for inter­ested
girls.
The director said he has been
satisfied with the camp's suc­cess
so far.
Barkley said that he was flat­tered
by the warm welcome the
girls gave him.
"It takes a special person to
wait his turn," Barkley said,
"but that is what you have to do
before you can become success­ful
at this game."
Jordan-Hare's 50th
includes Tide, UF
By Tommy Mitchell
Staff Writer
The 1989 football season
marks the 50th anniversary of
Jordan-Hare Stadium, the first
visit ever by the Crimson Tide
and the possibility of a third
straight SEC Championship
for the Tigers.
According to Sports Informa­tion
Director David Housel,
the main emphasis of the 1989
football season is the Nov. 4
Auburn-Florida game.
This game will be the center
of festivities for the celebration
honoring 50 years of Auburn
football In Jordan-Hare. It was
Florida that first played
Auburn in the dedication
game.
"This is going to be a special
year," Housel said. "We're
going to have record crowds
this fall and it is a good year to
celebrate Jordan-Hare's 50th
year. Our fans have helped
make Auburn football what it
is today and we want them to
be a big part of the celebra­tion."
Three games, LSU, Florida
and Alabama, are expected to
match or surpass last years'
crowd at the Auburn-Georgia
game.

The lyrics; however, clash vio­lently
with the music. Set along­side
a sing-song melody, the
lyrics describe an insane per­son.
Mike Connell tells the lis­tener,
"Things were clear once/
'Til the clouds came," and, "I
know now why they put me
here," referring to an insane
asylum.
The strongest track on the
album is the last one, "Lay Me
Down." It is a powerful epitaph
set to music similar to that of
Simon and Garfunkel. Huntley
sings, "Softly I slumber as I turn
to powder/ Blowing out over the
sea..." The last two minutes of
the song is a powerful "La, La"
chorus sung by all the Connells.
The effect is awe-inspiring.
With this album. The Connells
rise above the doldrums of
stereotypical progressive music.
There is not a weak song on the
album; each one stands up well
on its own.
By blending both the acoustic
and the electric. The Connells
create effective music that does
not drown out, but re-empha­sizes
Mike Connell's thought-provoking
lyrics. This is music
for far-sighted and provocative
people.

Grebenshlkov's verses evoke
intense emotion. An excerpt
from 'The Postcard" Is: "Precise
like sunrise/A child just like
any other/Made of the bones of
the earth/Fragile and death­l
e s s / Yes, I'm alright/I am a
church/ And I'm burning
down."
The chorus from "Mother's
Song" calls to the earth:
"There's a moon out here and
she wants to be growing/There's
a river down here and she
wants to go back to the sea /I
am your child, mother/Crying
to be consoled/I recognize you
now: Do you recognize me?"
The words of the title cut,
"Radio Silence," summarize
Grebenshlkov's feelings of suc­cess
in rock 'n' roll: "I don't feel
like I'm a stranger/I feel like I
belong here/I feel like IVe been
waiting for a long time/And now
I can tell some stories."
He believes that "the idea of
the two words 'Radio Silence'
signify that a lot of people are
being bombarded with informa­tion
from every possible angle,
and maybe it's wise to turn off
the radio for a while and stay
with yourself."

to the funeral?"
Again, though, good and bad
are not easily deciphered.
A related story in Sports Illus­trated
and newspapers across
the nation told of Mike Knowles,
a 1987 finance graduate of
Oklahoma. Knowles wrote a let­ter
several months ago to Loren
Ellis, the business school's
coordinator of alumni affairs.
Knowles told how difficult it
was to obtain a job with a
degree from Oklahoma because
of the image the school had as a
football university with not
much regard for academics.
Knowles recommended the
dismissal of Switzer and termi­nation
of athletic dorms.
Copies of the letter were sent
to the school's interim presi­dent,
athletic director and
Switzer.
"Do not penalize...the majority
for the senseless action of a lew
and their head coach," Knowles
wrote.
Swltzer's thoughtful re­sponse:
Dear Mike:
This is in response to your letter
to Mr. Loren Ellis, copied to me.
Mike, you haven't lived long
enough for me to consider your
suggestions and proposals of
much value.
Sincerely,
Barry Switzer
Head Football Coach
"It's hard to feel sorry for
Barry Switzer."

second visit in three months, to
interview the Dares, Auburn
officials and others involved,
according to the article.
"I have reviewed the investiga­tion
by the institution and the
SEC, and I guess you could say
we're trying to clear up some
questions that I have,"
Lupomech told The News.
Lupomech went on to say the
NCAA was not suggesting the
school's or the SEC's investiga­tion
wasn't enough. 'There were
just some areas we wanted to
make sure we were clear on," he
said.
Concerning the latest charges.
Auburn Sports Information
Director David Housel told The
Plainsman, "Coach Dye or
Auburn University will have no
comment regarding any pub­lished
reports until this matter
is resolved in its entirety."
Batman
continued from 9
son, are ones you will not want
to miss, these are not the only
reasons you should see Bat­man.
The second big plus the
movie offers is the art direction
and cinematography.
Director Tim Burton's cre­ation
of Gotham City catapults
the viewer into another world.
It is a mixture of drab, gothic
influences combined with a
futuristic flavor of decay and
chaos. This city definitely needs
the protection offered by its res­ident
superhero.
Burton's outstanding camera
angles not only pull the viewer
into the action taking place on
screen, but also remain true to
the artwork found In DC
Comics, where the legend of
Batman began.
Although it is difficult for any
movie to live up to the media
blitz that this movie received,
Batman comes close.
Nicholson is great, Keaton
and Basinger are believable and
the sets are Impressive. The
classic themes of good vs. evil
and boy meets girl are present,
so why does Batman fall short
of being a great movie?
In trying to tell the stories of
both Batman and the Joker, the
movie fails to tell a strong story
about either of them.
The action sometimes takes a
backseat to the dialogue. The
movie introduces Batman to the
public but concentrates on the
Joker.
Despite these minor flaws.
Batman is a good movie and is a
must-see for the summer movie
season. The Batman story has
much yet to tell, and if the
moviegoing public has its wish,
a sequel is to be anticipated.
Batman, whether in comics,
on television or on the silver
screen, continues to provide
entertainment and enjoyment
for all.

No place to live
Many students here for
their first quarter at
Auburn, are already learn­ing
hard lessons in bureau­cracy.
Because of the annual
growth in admissions, Uni­versity
housing overbooked
the number of rooms it
leases to incoming fresh­men.
Housing has always given
priority to students who
come summer quarter and
live on campus.
This year, however, hous­ing
stopped accepting
applications April 1 and did
not inform applicants until
the end of May.
Many incoming students-quit
summer jobs or can­celed
plans specifically to
meet housing's require­ments.
While The Plainsman
understands the dilemma
and appreciates housing's
honesty about the mistake,
promises should not be
made if they can't be kept.
Other depatments antici­pate
student growth and
plan accordingly. Housing
should also allow for a larg­er
number of students.
The freshmen gave up a
lot to guarantee themselves
a place to live, and showed
the University their good
faith by coming early.
Now they are finding that
they may have wasted their
time, and that bureaucrats
are betraying their trust.
The first year at college is
hard enough without unex­pected
housing problems
making the adjustment
that much harder.
Phone bills arrive
When the phone system
was completed spring quar­ter,
a lot of people were
already dissatisfied.
Now the first bill has
come, and most people are
still unhappy with it.
Many departments saw a
substantial increase in the
cost of phone bills,
although the University-owned
system was sup­posed
to save money.
Long distance charges
have increased, and each
office is now required to
have a $22 phone.
Some have seen such
large increases that they
expect to cut spending in
other areas, such as teach­ing
materials.
Both sides should reeval­uate
the situation.
First, the University
should not profit from the
system at the expense of
departments.
And second, departments
should better regulate their
long-distance calls before
cutting corners in class­rooms.
If each side compromises,
perhaps Auburn can mini­mize
its losses and make
the best of the system.
Resolution
One never thinks about
it, but it stays around for­ever.
The EAO (Environmental
Awareness Organization) is
trying to get polystyrene
foam (Styrofoam) out of
Auburn.
The University Senate,
SGA and Graduate Student
Organization have ap­proved
resolutions re­questing
that Styrofoam
alternatives be used on
campus.
The resolutions say the
foam depletes the ozone, is
not recyclable, litters,
wastes petroleum and con­tributes
to the greenhouse
effect and global warming.
Food services director Art
Call said that the decision
is not that easy, and that
the campus may have to
pay slightly more for sub­stitutes
of equal quality.
While we appreciate
Call's concern for keeping
costs to a minimum, a cup
is a cup, and is disposable.
Regardless, paying pen­nies
more seems a small
price to pay when weighed
against such high environ­mental
costs.
Although many fast food
restaurants will continue to
use Styrofoam, the Univer­sity
should recognize that
any use is an abuse of the
environment. We should
stop using it on principle -
symbolic action is better
than no action.
Auburn has the unusual
opportunity to be on the
forefront of this movement,
and a ban is a virtually
painless way to address
issues which have no easy
answers.
Styrofoam is unneces­sary.
Eliminating it will
publicize other environ­mental
issues which are
also vital.
Students should know
options exist and be edu­cated
enough to make a
conscious effort to avoid
the use of polystyrene
foam.
Prodigal son takes look at roots
This story began a few hours
from here, in Huntsville, in
1976.
I was an introverted, hyper­sensitive
7-year-old, of private
schools born and bred.
Then I met her. She was older.
She was sophisticated. She was
outspoken, like some wonder­fully
eccentric character from a
southern short story.
She was fabulous and unique,
a Dali painting in a museum of
cold Sargent portraits.
Her name was Helen Herriott,
and for 10 glorious years, she
was my coach in drama and in
life. She was my mentor, but
she was more like a second
mother. Mrs. Herriott gave me
life out loud.
She taught me to breathe.
Inhale deeply for 15 counts;
hold 15 counts; exhale 15
counts. Every breath was mea­sured
exactly, just as even the
smallest gesture was dissected
by her sharp eyes. She taught
B. Bryan
Bittle
me to demand perfection of
myself.
More than that, she gave me
voice and taught me to project
my lines, to draw them out from
deep within myself, to be heard
right or wrong.
When I started doing chil­dren's
plays with her at Fantasy
Playhouse, she became like God
tome.
In the harsh world of adults,
where "kids" were often reduced
to "Juveniles," the enemy, Mrs.
Herriott called all of her actors
"Children of light." Her opti­mism
was contagious and her
energy boundless.
After auditions, I would sit by
the phone for days praying for a
positive word from her. She was
all-knowing and all-powerful.
Although I usually wouldn't get
the part I wanted, I was always
cast In the best part for me.
In giving me characters, she
gave me character. By challeng­ing
me to wear another person's
skin, she taught me much more
about myself.
Now I am In the business of
words, and I use the skills she
has given me every day. Ironi­cally,
it seems that my relation
ship with her has since been
one of failed communication, of
letters never sent.
Each time I start to write,
words do not come. Letters to
Mrs. Herriott are like diary
entries, as If I am addressing a
part of myself.
In a way, of course, I am. She
is implicit, part of all I do and
say, all I am.
Coming home to her seems
redundant, since she is always
withm-.
Nonetheless, Fantasy Play­house
patrons tell me Mrs. Her­riott
retires with this season,
and that they are surprising her
with a "This Is Your Life" retro­spective
at this year's awards
banquet.
While no one deserves the
honor more, it seems to me a bit
premature: Living is Helen Her-riotfs
specialty, and I know she
will continue for as long as I t
have breath to speak, or as long
as her latest student moves
through the c oily stages of liv­ing.
Ultimately, they cannot begin
to repay her for that greatest
gift of all with which she was so
generous - herself.
I will spend my life humbly
trying.

Gassed by University delays
At 10 a.m. Friday morning, I
left a class in Haley Center and
went to meet a friend on the
first floor of that majestic edi­fice.
On the way down, I noticed
what smelled like paint or fresh
ink in the halls.
In light of the renovation work
underway, I thought nothing of
it until later that afternoon -
when I was told that fire trucks
and police were surrounding the
building and later ordered it
evacuated for 41 hours.
We now know that the smell
was caused by toluene iso-cyanate
fumes from a roof
sealant that leaked Into ventila­tors
on top of east Alabama's
408,000-square-foot answer to
the Chrysler Building and were
spread throughout Haley Center
by the building's air condition­ing
system. The chemical was
described by firemen at the
scene as a skin and eye irritant
that could be toxic or flam­mable.
Matt
Smith
Apparently, workers on the
roof were applying the sealant
near the ventilators, which then
sucked In the fumes from the
open can and spread them
downward into the building.
Luckily, there were no injuries
reported, but the fact that they
were working with such a mate­rial
near the ventilators, in
direct sunlight where it easily
evaporated and gave off fumes,
borders on carelessness.
Bookstore employees began to
notice complaints about the
fumes about noon, and other
students noticed the smell as
early as 10 a.m., but the
University waited until 3:06
p.m. before calling the fire
department, according to Fire
Chief Steve Woodall.
What took so long? Those per­sons
overseeing the work knew
what they were dealing with and
knew its hazards, which are
considerable.
'Yep, It's bad stuff, all right.
Look there, that kid's eyes just
popped right outta his skull
after taking a whiff. Maybe we
should call somebody. Jim."
Of course, it is possible that
nobody complained about the
smell. Perhaps at a school as
conservative as Auburn, nobody
wanted to make waves about
minor things like being gassed
by the Facilities Division.
"This stuff in the air's really
bugging me, man. I've got a
headache, and I'm getting this
rash on my face, and a couple of
Chi O's are face-down in the
hall over there. Gimme another
asprin. Anything going on
tonight?"
Or as Charles Ray, the Univer­sity's
environmental health and
safety chief, put it, "If there
were complaints, they weren't t
complaining to the right people."
There's an idea for a special lec­ture:
"Know who to bitch to/'
Then again, maybe it wasn't "
serious at all. Maybe the fire­men
who closed the building
were wearing their Darth Vader ^
suits in 80-degree weather Just
for kicks. "Hey, Captain, we got
a call at Haley Centerl Can we
put on our black rubber outfits »
and face masks and scare the
hell out of people? Huh?
Please?"
All levity aside, the Univer­sity's
slow reaction time was
distressing. While It cannot
evacuate every building that f
smells bad, something was
clearly rotten in Haley Center
last week. It appears the
University lost what may have
been critical time if the material
had been more dangerous.

Quit whining about flag issue
There's right, and then there's
wrong.
Freedom of speech is right.
Making treasonous statements
is wrong. Freedom of the press
is right. Libel and slander are
wrong. Freedom of expression
is right.
Burning the American flag is
wrong.
The above sentence ends with
a period. That period can be
taken both in the grammatical
and literal sense. There Is no
reason which Justifies burning
the American flag, period.
The Supreme Court ruled last
Wednesday that burning the
American flag in protest is a
part of the feedom of expres­sion.
The supporters of this deci­sion
use two main justifications:
it is part of the right of freedom
of expression and the flags
being burned are the property of
the owner.
Your right to freedom of
expression has limits. The con-
Wade
Williams
stitution does not grant com­plete
freedom of expression, nor
was it ever intended to. You
cannot incite riot, you cannot
infringe upon the rights of oth­ers
and you cannot disturb the
peace.
These restrictions upon the
right to freedom of expression
should include a restriction on
the burning of the American
flag. There are enough ways in
which we are permitted to
express our displeasure with
our government that an act so
disrespectful and vile should
not be permitted.
The argument which pro-
American flag burners are
using, that the owner of the flag
Is allowed to do whatever they
want with their property. Is
completely ludicrous and asi­nine.
If you own an American
flag, you own the cloth upon
which that flag is printed, not
the flag nor what it represents.
The things which it symbolizes
cannot be owned by any person
and by destroying that cloth,
you are also destroying that
symbol.
If you read an American pass­port,
you'll notice a section that
outlines ways in which you can
lose your citizenship. Those
ways include pledging allegiance
to another country or serving In
another country's military.
There should be an addition
to those laws, an addition that
reads: "Anyone found burning
the American flag, for purposes
other than the non-malicious
destruction of a worn flag, shall
have his citizenship revoked,
and he shall be transported at
the first opportunity to the
nearest border for expulsion."
And no, I'm not kidding about
that.
I want a demonstrator to go
stand in Arlington National
Cemetery and look across the
miles of white crosses that mark
the men and women who have
died to give you the right of freer
dom of expression within reat
sonable limits. Stand there in «
that cemetery and see if the
mere thought of burning an
American flag in front of those
silent spectators doesn't make
you ashamed of yourself.
Every American enjoys certain
rights. Even though those rights .
have limitations, this is still the
most free society in the world."
Every American owes a debt to
the country and those who have *
died to give us our freedoms.
If you don't want to serve In
the military, at least repay your ^
debt by being proud of your
country and showing respect fo*
the flag.
On the other hand. If you feej .
that restricting flag burning is
unconstitutional and an oppres­sion
of your freedom of expres­sion,
too bad. IVe got no ear for
your whining.

The week in history
The Unibrows
By Lee Ann Flynn
10 years ago, 1979: The construction of a vocational education building was announced with a
budget of $2.75 million.
Ground breaking for the building, which would eventually house all of the vocational education
department, was to be held on Sept. 1.
15 years ago. 1974: An allocation of $25,000 from the University's general fund was approved
by President Harry M. Philpott for the women's intercollegiate athletic program at Auburn.
25 years ago, 1964: A music annex building, which was used for practice sessions was torn
down.
Colonel Linwood E. Funchess said the building was a fire hazard because of inadequate fire
escape facilities and an all-timber construction on the inside.

Alumni dues are well spent
Editor, The Plainsman:
A recent issue of The Platns-
. man had a column by Paul
DeMarco which questioned
whether the $25 paid by Alumni
to join the association is "being
spent wisely for the betterment
of Auburn." The dues paid to
the Alumni Association provide
benefits both to the alumnus,
who's a member, and to the
University.
The benefits to the individual
alumnus include: nine issues of
The Auburn Alumnews yearly,
access to the Auburn University
Library without paying the $25
yearly use fee, football and bas­ketball
ticket order blanks, the
Auburn Spirit credit card with­out
a yearly membership fee.
In addition, the Auburn
Alumni AsssociaUon helps indi­vidual
colleges, schools and
departments with newsletters
for their individual alumni,
maintains correct addresses for
the more than 115,000 Auburn
alumni, sponsors alumni
reunion programs, alumni trav­el
programs and 119 Auburn
Clubs throughout the country
where Auburn graduates can
get together. In addition, the
Alumni Association, In conjunc­tion
with the Auburn University
Placement Service, supports the
Auburn Alumni Placement Ser­vice.
In academic areas, the
Auburn Alumni Association
sponsors 40 Alumni Scholar­ships
for entering freshmen, two
Teaching Excellence Awards for
undergraduate teachers, the
Distinguished Graduate Lectur­er
Award and 15 Alumni Profes­sorships.
Through the Auburn Annual
Giving Program, the Auburn
Alumni Association helps col­leges,
schools and departments
contact their alumni for support
of their programs through the
mail and through phone-a-thons
housed in the Alumni
Center. In addition, the Alumni
Association works with the vari­ous
colleges and schools in
Alumni Advisory Programs.
Since the Alumni Center
opened, it has been available
free of charge for on-campus
groups to host meetings, and
5,000 people from 50 different
groups have attended programs.
Student groups have met in the
Alumni Center as well as advi­sory
groups and faculty from
different departments.
The Alumni Association pro­vides
many other services, but I
think that almost any alumnus
would agree that he or she gets
$25 worth for their money. As
an alumnus of almost 50 years,
I certainly do.

BARF tells plans for racism
Plainsman shows bigotry
Editor, The Plainsman:
Please accept my hearty con­gratulations
on your courageous
and hard-hitting editorial of
June 22 entitled "Bigotry Alive."
Your denunciation of these
crazed white racists and all
their infernal works is right in
line with the teachings of my
organization - the Battalion of
Anti-Racist Fighters (BARF).
Our plan at BARF Is to finally
get serious about the crusade
against white racist fanaticism.
In the name of free thought and
progress we propose to system­atically
ferret out all those who
harbor Impure thoughts.
We ask all members of the
community to help us. Endless
vigil is the key - search your
friend's bookshelves for suspi­cious
material! Monitor all con­versations
for white racist state­ments!
Turn in suspect whites!
Their names will be filed for
future reference.
Ultimately, as hard as we
strain, BARF will
