The Student Senate passed a
resolution Monday night to
raise the parking space
requirements for city apart­ments.
The resolution is a
statement of opinion and is not
legally binding.
The existing requirement of
1.75 spaces per one bedroom
apartment, two per two bed­room
apartment and three per
three bedroom apartment have
proven inadequate because
most off-campus students own
cars, the resolution said.
The resolution claims there
is also lack of guest parking at
some apartments, and that
parking lots at some complexes
have been rendered inaccessi­ble
to emergency vehicles.
The resolution requests for
the requirement to be increased
to 2.25 spaces per one bedroom
apartment, four per two bed-
'room apartment, five per three
bedroom apartment and six
per four bedroom apartment.

Scaife trial begins amid controversy
By Stephanie Warnecke and
Kimberly Bradley
Staff Writers
The new trial of Becca Scaife, a
former Auburn student, began
Monday.
Scaife is charged with murder
and manslaughter in the disap­pearance
of her 6-year-old step­daughter,
Lakeita.
In opening arguments Mon­day,
District Attorney Ron Myers
said that he planned to show that
the "little girl died intentionally
and directly in the hands of the
defendant."
Jock Smith, Scaife's attorney,
told the jurors he intended to
show that there is no "evidence at
all of a scientific nature" linking
Scaife to Lakeita's death.
However, Smith said that his
witnesses this week will include
an attendent at a Texaco station
that allegedly saw Lakeita and a
woman in a blue car between 1:15
and 2:00 the day of the girl's
disappearance.
Lakeita, natural child of Des­mond,
Scaife's husband, was
reported missing from the cou­ple's
Carolyn Draughon Village
apartment on May 9.
Scaife told police she left
Lakeita in the bathtub and went
to put her baby, Tia, to bed. She
said she fell asleep and when she
awoke 30 to 40 minutes later, the
6 year old was missing.
The child's body was found
May 19 on a dirt road off Wire
Road.
Wednesday, the defense attor­neys
tried to suppress Scaife's
statements and waiver of her
rights from the jury. With the
jury out of the room, the lawyers
argued that Scaife's confessions
and the waiver of her Miranda
rights were in violation of her
Constitutional rights because
they were signed under duress.
Scaife testified the statements
allegedly made by her were fabri­cated
by the police. She said she
her Miranda rights, she said and
did not fully understand her right
to remain silent.
Murray, a city police sergeant,
testified Scaife was not under
arrest at the time of the question-
'I trusted Chris and Billy to record
accurately what I had said.'
— Becca Scaife
had signed the documents
because police officers Chris
Murray and Billy Ramsey told
her to, without giving her a
chance to read them.
She said she was interrogated
from approximately 10 p.m. on
May 19 until approximately 11
a.m. the next morning.
She was not advised of all of
ing on May 19 and was free to
leave at any time. He said she
appeared to be alert and "very
awake."
Scaife said that prior to coming
to the station she had been up 48
hours studying for final
examinations.
The statements allegedly made
by Scaife included a confession
t h a t she had accidentally
drowned the child while trying to
teach her to swim in the bathtub.
She said this statement was
not true and "it is absurd to teach
someone to swim when I don't
even know how."
Scaife testified she had asked
to go home more than once and
also asked to see her husband,
who was being interrogated in
another room.
"They said he was a bad influ­ence
and wouldn't let him in the
room," she said.
"I trusted Chris and Billy to
record accurately what I had
said," Scaife testified. "I didn't
tell Billy or Chris that (the con­fessions)
when we were talking. I
guess they condensed what I said
to that," she said.
Smith said, "The defendant

Senate discusses
proposed changes
Photography: Chris Kirby
By Stephanie Warnecke
News Editor
Discussion of the report of the
ad hoc committee on academic
honesty began at Tuesday's Uni­versity
Senate meeting.
Former academic honesty
committee chair Gregory Jeane
spoke against the proposals cal­ling
for changes in the current
academic honesty code.
"In spite of the ad hoc commit­tee's
efforts, I regret that I cannot
support the proposals that are
recommended," he said.
He said the changes do not
address the real problem, "which
is violation of the spirit of the
code of the administration," will
complicate the committee pro­cess
for faculty and students
alike and will compromise efforts
developed to achieve fairness and
equity in determining sanctions.
Dr. Jo Heath, chair of the Aca­demic
Honesty Committee, didn't
endorse the proposal either.
"The bonds of mutual trust will
be strained and it will seriously
undermine the students' rights,"
she said.
The ad hoc committee was
appointed to review the code after
last summer's controversy con­cerning
the Jeff Burger plagiar­ism
case.
One of the recommended
changes is to allow the faculty
member involved to recommend
sanctions that will stand unless,
it is a second offense by the stu­dent,
or the student requests a
hearing before the Academic
Honesty Committee.
According to the proposal,
"This change allows the faculty
member to set the maximum
sanctions if the student does not
contest the recommendations."
Dr. Gary Swanson, chair of the
ad hoc committee, said this is
comparable to plea bargaining in
the legal system. "The student
can plead guilty to a lesser sanc­tion,"
he said.
The motivation behind this
change is "that the recommenda­tion
of the faculty member is bas­ically
ignored," Swanson said.
"It carries virtually no weight.
It is worth something to the
faculty to have their recommen­dation
considered."
Carolyn Brown, a current
honesty committee member, said
the committee "is deeply con­cerned
about faculty recommen­dations."

Marital rape
State laws
offer wives
no help, yet
By Vicki Vessels
Staff Writer
"In Alabama, wives have lower
status than corpses," said Laura
X, who came to Auburn to partic­ipate
in a panel discussion on
marital and date rape Feb. 17.
Wives are not protected by
state law against rape by their
husbands although sexual abuse
of a corpse is covered, Lt. Frank
deGraffenried of the University
Police Department said.
Sexual abuse of a corpse
became illegal several years ago
after the Supreme Court over­turned
a rape conviction in Penn­sylvania
when a coroner deter­mined
that an 80-year-old woman
died of fright moments before she
was raped, Laura X said.
Now, only the rape of "any
female person who is not mar­ried,"
is covered under law,
deGraffenried said.
If two people, unmarried, are
living together, under Alabama
law they are considered married.
Therefore, the woman in this
situation is not considered a
female protected by the rape
statute.
"Those of you who are doing
that right now may wonder what
you are," Laura X said. She an­swered
her own question with "a
corpse," reflecting an attitude
originating 140 years ago with
the first women's rights
movement.
The women's rights activists
then introduced the idea that
marriage is entering in "civil
death" for women.
Laura X, who ran the success­ful
campaign in California to
make marital rape a crime, said
her name itself is in protest of the
legal hold men have on their
wives, though she is not and
never has been married.
When a woman marries, she
said, she becomes one with her
husband in the eyes of the law.
This is the legal doctrine which
makes it possible for a man to
rape his wife, Laura X said, since
he cannot rape himself.
In 1986, Alabama was the last
state to have any legal protection
for wives. Although there is no

Requests to be cut by B & F
By David Sharp
Assistant News Editor
Student activity projects made
budget requests to the Student
Senate Monday and Tuesday
night amounting to 20 percent
more than the projected income,
leaving more than $100,000 to be
cut by the Budget and Finace
Committee.
The Senate's B&F Committee
will be forced to cut a $108,675
deficit during nightly sessions
over the next two weeks.
Student activities funded by
the Student Senate include the
SGA, Glomerata, UPC, Recrea­tional
Services (including the
Student Act Center), WEGL-FM,
Tiger Cub and Circle magazine.
"I still wish that we had more
money to donate to student activ­ity
projects, because without
more money student activities
can't grow or even operate at the
level of last year," SGA Vice Pres­ident
Jim Johnson said.
"Until we get more money,"
Johnson said, "our hands are

SGA President Harold Melton

was short when they made their
budget requests.

Coffee County inmate escapes
Early Tuesday morning, a Coffee County Jail inmate escaped
taking a woman jailer with him.
Law enforcement officials are searching for John Andrew
Warren, 31, of Enterprise, who escaped from the jail around 3
a.m. in Elba. The prisoner then forced Becky Wingham Sasser,
36, to go with him.
Wingham was released unharmed at a residence in Clio, which
is located about 50 miles northeast of Coffee County in South Ala­bama.
She then called the authorities.
Sasser was not armed, but authorities did not know if Warren
had any weapons.
"He was not a violent person," Ennis said. "We hope we can find
him soon."
Warren was sentenced in early January after being convicted in
the robbery of a convenience store.
Barbour County Sheriff Robert Smith said Warren left Sasser
near Ariton at about 6 a.m. Authorities said she went to a nearby
home where a former Clio police officer lived and called the police.

Another televangelist falls from grace
Television evangelist Jimmy Swaggart has been asked by the
Assemblies of God leadership to stop preaching for a minimum of
three months after he confessed to sexual misconduct for a
number of years.
Swaggart must also undergo a two-year rehabilitation and
counseling program. This program will consist of weekly counsel­ing
and supervising sessions by the Louisiana District Presby­tery.
He will also be required to submit monthly reports to church
officials.
"He tried and tried and tried through prayer and fasting and
everything he could do to lick it and it beat him," said Rev. Glen
Cole, one of 13 officials who examined Swaggart's case.
High court rules for 'godless' books
The Supreme Court unanimously rejected an appeal that would
have allowed fundamentalist Christian children to be exempt
from reading books their families object to. The seven families
who brought forth the appeal say the textbooks used in Tennes­see
public schools are "godless."
"I hope...there is a mass exodus from the public school system
tomorrow, or at least by next fall," said Mike Farris, attorney for
Concerned Women for America, a group that aided the families'
legal battle.
Tennessee Attorney General Michael Cody said, "Any alterna­tive
disposition would have been the cause of chaos in the school
system."

U.S., Soviets seek treaty verification
Both the United States and the Soviet Union have told their
negotiators to have draft anti-cheating and other provisions for
the new arms agreement within a month so the treaty can be
signed this spring.
Secretary of State George Shultz said it was "extremely impor­tant"
to accelerate work in Geneva if President Reagan and
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev are to sign the treaty at their
summit in Moscow, which is planned for May or June.
A joint statement said progress had been made in eliminating
chemical weapons and verifying nuclear test limits, which were
set in unratified treaties in 1974 and 1976.

INTERVIEWING ON CAMPUS MARCH 2. I
Activist speaks out against arms race
By Phil Crane
Staff Writer
The Rev. William Sloane Cof­fin
returned Thursday, 19 years
after former Auburn President
Harry Philpott refused to let the
civil rights activist speak on
campus.
Coffin, who spoke against the
Vietnam War, had just been
released from jail on appeal for
aiding and abetting draft resis­tors
when he came to Auburn in
1969.
A court order allowed him to
speak after students filed suit
against Philpott's orders.
Still speaking for peace and
justice, Coffin spoke out against
the arms race and existing for­eign
policies.
"The only discernible reason
for the arms race in the 1980s is to
have f i r s t - s t r i k e c a p a b i l i ty
advantage," he said.
The United States was right
when it accused the Soviet Union
of violating the 1972 nuclear
arms treaty by building a
stronger nuclear offense, he said.
However, the Russians are
right when they accuse the Uni­ted
States of using SDI (Stars
Wars) to better its offensive
attack, he added.
"My hope is that SDI will get
back into the bottle from which
this evil genie should have never
escaped.
"Nobody talks about the moral
implications of SDI, they just say
give me the money. Common
integrity is made to look like
courage," he said of his recent
visit to Huntsville, which bene­fits
from military research of
SDI.
Coffin said that the American
"right wingers" would never
have let Democratic presidential
candidate Walter Mondale do
what Republican President
Ronald Reagan has done, refer-

Gore speech targets students
By Shirley Schofield
Staff Writer
'. As the youngest candidate
Running for president, Sen. Al
;Gpre, Jr., targeted college stu­dents
as a possible determinant
in the presidential race.
"The 1988 presidential candi­dacy
could be determined by
young people," Gore said. Gore
spoke to approximately 200 col­lege
campuses by live satellite
hook-up, Sunday.
Auburn was one of 19 cam­puses
randomly selected to ask
Gore questions about his position
on the issues.
Photography: James LeCroy
Al Gross and Beth Linden watch Gore
Gore said the next four years
will require an active president.
This change, he said, will be a
great challenge and a great
opportunity for the next presi­dent.
Gore added that his 12 years of
experience in dealing with for­eign
policy will help him promote
American values and ideas.
Gore also said as president he
would concentrate on human
resources as the nation's greatest
resource. Although the number of
jobs has declined because of
technology, new jobs have
opened up, he said.
"Student loans and grants
should be more accessible. They
are an investment in the future.
For every dollar invested the
treasury gets more back. Edu­cated
people make more money
and pay it back in taxes," Gore
answered when asked about edu­cation
reforms and student aid.
Gore said the United States
should be negotiating from a
position of strength when deal­ing
with other countries.
"Star Wars is a serious mis­take.
I am totally committed to
arms control, but I have learned
that in the Soviet Union they
have opinions just like us. They
must understand that we mean
what we say," Gore explained.
The satellite hook-up was com­pletely
funded by Students for
Gore, Bill Bolen, the organiza­tion's
Alabama director, said.
"College students will be impor­tant.
Every little bit will help, and
as the youngest candidate Gore
may appeal to students," Bolen
said.
Gore has concentrated his
campaigning for Super Tuesday,
March 8, and has a more national
campaign, Bolen said. On Super
Tuesday, 20 states will hold
primaries and caucuses includ­ing
Alabama and 11 other South­ern
states.
"It is silly that Iowa and New
Hampshire get so much atten­tion.
In Haiti when only 10 per­cent
of the population votes, it is
called fraud; but in Iowa with
only three percent, it is consi­dered
a great indicator," Bolen
said.
"As the youngest candidate
Gore has the largest chance of
getting the college vote," Asso­ciate
Professor of Political
Science Margaret Latimer said.
She added that Gore is in pretty

'Game of Quick Draw' requires fast imagination
By Shannon Jones
Assistant Features Editor
•The advertisement for the
game says: "All you need is a fast
imagination and an even faster
pphcil."
• But it would take an even faster
pejicil to tabulate the profits from
Pictionary, The Game of Quick
D.r-aw, which some say has
replaced Scruples and Trivial
Pifrsuit in popularity.
j,Rob Angel, inventor^ and
founder of Pictionary, Inc. said
hfe-got the idea for the game as he
arid his friends sketched words at
parties.
i Before trying to get a patent for
the game, he watched while his
friends played to make sure the
rqJes worked.
•They did, and in April 1985, he
distributed 1,000 games in
Washington. Two months later,
the game was in stores nation­wide.
During its first year, the game
grossed about $99,000, Angel
said in a telephone interview
from his office in Seattle. "We
were hoping to hit a $100,000, but
we didn't quite make it," he said.
The object of the game is to
identify (through sketched clues)
a6 many words as necessary to
advance to the finish square on
the gameboard.
• But sketching time is only 60
seconds even for words such as
"whisper," or "Mae West."
Toy salespeople are calling Pic­tionary
one of the most popular
games on their shelves. Wal-Mart
got 20 games in Sunday, and
-&m&mi
Art: Lee Lipscomb
Thursday, only one was left,
employee Kirby Cramton, 01PB,
said.
"Sometimes we may get in as
many as 20 cases of 12 (games),
and they are gone in about 48
hours," Jeanie Brewer, a Mont­gomery
Toys R Us manager said.
Win, Lose or Draw, a televi­sion
game show based on the
same concept as Pictionary,
began airing in 1987. "It (the
show) could have helped us; it's
hard to tell," Angel said.
A Win, Lose or Draw game-board
was also produced. "It's
taken some sales away from us,
but I don't worry about that," he
said.
Pictonary Junior, a children's
edition, was released last year.
"It was a sleeper at first, but has
been, surprisingly, hugely suc­cessful,"
Angel said.
A second edition of Pictionary
cards has been distributed but
mostly on the west coast. It
should be in all the stores by the
end of the year, Angel said.
The game has been introduced
in eight European countries, he
said. "By the end of this year, it
should be in 20."
"We're translating it into
French, German, Italian, Fin­nish
and Icelandic."
Icelandic? "We wouldn't want
to leave Iceland out," Angel said.
Unlike Trivial Pursuit,
another novelty game, Piction­ary
should translate well, he said.
"It's more universal."
It is predicted to sell 8.5 million
copies in 1989, Angel said, but
would not disclose any statistics
on the company's 1987-88
success.
Pictionary, Inc. is owned by
Angel and two others (Terry
Langston and Gary Everson).
The company is based in Seat­tle,
and the game is published by
Western Publishing, Inc., repres­ented
by The Games Gang, Ltd.
Angel said the success of Pic­tionary
has changed his life. "I
travel a lot now; I go to Europe if I
want to. I have two cars, a Saab
and an Alfa Romeo," he said.
Angel said he thinks the game
will survive what some are cal­ling
a trend.
"I don't care, as long as people
are buying it," he said.

On Super Tuesday, Democratic
Party officials must rely on the
cooperation of Republicans to
refrain from participating in this
summer's Democratic primary.
"The problem is that people
want to switch parties and vote in
different primaries, and in Ala­bama
there is no polling record of
who voted in previous primar- •
ies," said Robert Montjoy, head of
the political science department.
Crossover voting became a
central issue in the 1986 electoral
campaigns when gubernatorial
candidate Charlie Graddick was
disqualified by the state Demo­cratic
Party.
With the Democratic party
split by the dispute, Republican
candidate Guy Hunt won the
gubernatorial election.
Montjoy said that the state
passed a law ten years ago that
allows the political parties to
exclude non-party members who
participated in other primaries
during the same calendar year.
According to Montjoy, there
are two motivations for crossover
voting. The first is that some­times
an election in the other
party is better than the one in
their own, and the second is to
nominate the other party's weak­est
candidate.
State law permits the Demo­cratic
Party to regulate its pri­maries
to keep Republicans out,
however without prior registra­tion
the rule can be enforced only
if the voters cooperate, Montjoy
said.
"There is no question about the
validity of the rule," he said. "The
only problem they face is the
enforcement mechanism."
Montjoy said that Democratic
officials are counting on volun­tary
compliance by voters this
year to avoid another battle like
the one that divided the party in i
1986. -'. 1
The Republican Party does not
have a rule against Democrats
voting in its primaries, but if one
is created it would move the state
closer to a true two-party status,
he said.
Party loyalty has not been
present in the past. Alabamians
have a long history of splitting
tickets, so there is little reason to
expect a true two-party status
this year, Montjoy said.

By Janet Jimmerson
Features Editor
Have you experienced a negative reac­tion
to cocaine?
I've thrown up before, because the drug I got
in the Keys (Florida Keys) was a lot stronger
than what you can buy in Mobile, where I'm
from. It's funny, but I even liked that feeling
because I knew it was good coke:
Are there any symptoms that would
identify someone as a cocaine user?
Well, they would probably go to the bathroom
a lot. They might lose weight, and they would
probably be irritable. One of the guys I started
buying from had to start shooting up because
his nose had calluses inside it. And I've heard
of a lot of people who have had their noses
operated on because of it.
I also know of someone who would shoot up
underneath his fingernails to hide the tracks
from his parents. He lost three fingers I think.
So, he started shooting it under his toenails,
then he lost toes as well. I think he has to walk
with a cane or something now, and he's a
young guy.
About how much money did you spend
on cocaine altogether?
I've never really thought about it, but proba­bly
in the $50,000 range. I used to spend about
$300 a week. Sometimes a friend and I would
go in on an eight-ball (an eighth of an ounce).
But it'd be gone by the weekend, and we'd have
to wait a whole week because that's all we
could afford to spend.
It would be a week of sweaty palms.
Did you ever sell cocaine?
No. We were gonna bring this cocaine back
from the Keys, you see, and sell it in Mobile
and make a killing. But we liked it too much. I
even lost money that friends of mine invested
...it all went up my nose.
It was close to $800, which is a lot of cocaine
in the Keys.
How much does it sell for?
In Mobile it would sell for about a $100 a
gram, but in the Keys it was only about $30 or
$40 a gram.
Why do you think so many younger kids
are starting to use cocaine?
I've heard about it as young as eighth grade.
But that's not the only problem. I talked to a
girl from Robertsdale whose mother and father
sell cocaine. She came to me with tears in her
eyes wanting to know what to do. She said,
"They've even given it to my little sister." That
girl was in the eighth grade ... I don't know
how old her sister was.
And I used to buy from a little boy who was
12 years old. He got it from his dad. He didn't
use it, but when he wanted money to do stuff
with his friends, he'd sell it to me real cheap. It
wasn't near what it was worth.
How did you quit?
It was the morning I ran out of cocaine. I'd
spent all the money from the robberies, and I
had no place to stay except in this little trailer
out in the woods that belonged to my dad.
In a way I think I was a little bit relieved. I
think I had had it up to here. That's when I got
the courage to go to my parents. I took a look at
my life, and it was scary. If I had looked at
myself it would have been even scarier, because
I was like skin and bones.
Darryl said the last time he used cocaine was
Dec. 20,1986. By the time he was arrested, a
year and a half after the robberies, he said he
had completely stopped taking drugs. He
expects to be paroled in April 1990.
"You know what's so strange? My sister was
on the honor roll. I was on the honor roll. She
was president of her class. I was president of
my class. She graduated and went to college. I
graduated and went to college. Then I dropped
out, started using drugs and went to the peni­tentiary.
She graduated and is a sales represen­tative
for a large company."

Missing
papers
More time
needed for
payments
By Becky Jeffers
Staff Writer
Students researching material
from The Washington Post or
USA Today at the University
library may be discouraged to
learn that some issues are not
available.
Payment was not sent to The
Post in the time required to renew
the most recent subscription and
maintain service.
The payment was due J a n . 31,
said Tom Sanders, head of the
serials department. After receiv­ing
notice on J a n . 4 t h a t the sub­scription
was about to expire, the
s e r i a l s department approved
payment Jan. 6, but the payment
was not fully prepared until Jan.
29.
The payment process begins in
the serials department when a
vendor invoice is received, Sand­ers
said. Approval is made after
verification that the library takes
the subscription and that the
date of renewal is correct.
An invoice copy is sent to
library bookkeeping, within the
acquision department. Then the
University's accounts payable
office verifies funding and sends
the processed check to the
vendor, Sanders said.
The library is missing issues of
The Post from Jan. 31 to Feb. 11
and has not received USA Today
since Jan. 26.
Staff members have donated
scattered issues of USA Today
that were not delivered to the
desk, Sanders said.
"They are claiming that we've
never payed them," he said, but
Sanders said he has record of
"payment through May that they
don't recognize."
"With newspapers it's almost
impossible to get back issues, but
we will buy them on microfilm,"
he said.
For The Post "we may receive
January microfilm within a week
and microfilm of February issues
at the end of March."
"Microfilm on USA Today is
about three months behind, so
the January film may not come
until the end of April," he said.
"It takes a tremendous amount
of time to generate a check here.
We have an inability to pay as
quickly as they expect because we
have to go through all the steps
like any other bureaucracy.
"We have problems with
almost every newspaper at one
time or another because they
don't give enough billing lee­way,"
Sanders said.
"Newspapers are not set up to
work with universities and don't
service while they are waiting for
the check to come through bill­ing,"
he said. "They often only
give two weeks notice, so we fre­quently
miss issues."
a i Device blasts its way into food processing
By Anthony Broadus
Staff Writer
KABOGM! That's the sound it
made.
"Sounds like a 12-gauge shot­gun,"
said a voice from one side of
the contraption.
Then the man picked up two
skinless tomatoes from a water-filled
reservoir. "Amazing, isn't
it?" he said.
Ten seconds ago these two
tomatoes had skin. Now, retain­ing
their original shape, they are
skinless thanks to the Thermal
Blast Peeler.
Researchers Durward Smith
and retired professor Hubert
Harris are the developers and
owners of the invention, which is
about the size of a large storage
trunk.
"The entire (machine) was
made from used equipment,"
Harris said, and was created in
the University's horticultural
department.
The researchers said it would
be difficult to determine a price
value for the invention because it
was made from "junk" parts.
However, Smith said, "A good
many thousands of dollars" and
several years went into the
machine.
The invention uses infrared
heat and superheated steam to
remove the covering of almost
any product: potatoes, apples,
nuts, shrimp.
A product is heated and pres­surized
in a rotating chamber.
After a few seconds, the
chamber's door opens releasing
the pressure. This change in
pressure causes the steam
trapped within the product to
"blast off" the peel or outer layer.
It then drops into a reservoir for
instant cooling.
/Conventional
methods require
more space.'
— Durward
Smith
According to the researchers,
the invention "drastically redu­ces"
the loss of edible portions
which are removed by conven­tional
peeling methods. In some
cases, the invention can save as
much as 30 to 40 percent more.
"Conventional methods re­quire
more space and are much
slower," Smith said. The Ther­mal
Blast Peeler is more compact.
"It can yield about 10 tons per
hour," said Harris. This is for a
machine that is approximately
30 inches in diameter, he
explains.
The conventional method
"softens the outside tissue with
heat and lye," Smith said. But the
lye can destroy the sensitive fla­vor
of the product, he said. Their
invention, he said, is able to
retain the sensitive flavor.
The invention will peel almost
anything without damaging it,
the researcher said. Things they
didn't expect to work peeled per­fectly,
he said, such as hard-boiled
eggs and bananas.
Scales and plans for a commer­cial
model have been drawn,
Harris said, but at the time, they
do not have the funding to build
Because of negotiations with
companies, Harris and Smith
said they were not at liberty $o
mention the names of prospective
buyers.
"We don't foresee it having any
future use in the household...If s
too dynamic," Harris said, but
"maybe in fast food restaurants."
But time, he said, brings better
technology, and one day there
will be something that works bet­ter
than the Thermal Blast
Peeler. !

conflict
solved
By Paul DeMarco
Staff Writer
The Interfraternity Council
(IFC) held an open dicussion Feb.
15 with the presidents of Phi
Delta Theta and Pi Kappa Phi
fraternities to resolve an earlier
conflict.
The president of Pi Kappa Phi
Fraternity was asked to mail a
i letter of apology for a practical
joke performed against the Phi
Delta Theta Fraternity last
quarter.
On the day of the Auburn-
. Florida State game, a plane flew
over the stadium carrying a
> banner which advertised that the
band Stryper, a Christian Rock
band, would be performing that
night at the Phi Delta Theta
house.
In addition, leaflets were
placed on bulletin boards around
the city announcing the event.
Several complaints were made
the following Monday to IFC
adviser Gene Smith from city res­idents
who went to the Phi Delta
Theta house expecting Stryper
• and instead found a regular fra­ternity
band party.
Majorettes: a family tradition
Mother and daughter: 1964 to 1988
By Kirsten Schlichting
Managing Editor
Her grandmother did it, her
mother did it, and now she does it.
The tradition began in 1938
when Kat Kitchens became the
first majorette at Handley High
School in Roanoke, Ala. Since
then, her daughter Cindy and her
granddaughter Babs have been
majorettes at Handley and here
at Auburn.
Babs Turner, 04 MT, has been a
majorette at Auburn for three
years, and before that she was a
majorette for four years at the
only high school in Roanoke.
However, that wasn't necessarily
her goal. She said she just wanted
to be in the band.
"I always thought it would be
fun to be in the band," the 20-
year-old said. "Mom talked about
it all the time."
Even though Babs is a third-generation
majorette, she said
she wasn't pressured into trying
out by either her .mother or
grandmother. And, rather than
taking lessons, Babs said she
learned by watching her mother
twirl baton.
Babs and her mother have even
marched on the field together.
Her mother, who was a majorette
at Auburn from 1962-64, was a
part of the first Alumni Band
that marched with the present
band at halftime during the
homecoming ceremonies Oct. 24.
Marching with her mother was
an exciting experience for her,
she said, but it was on a day she
said she didn't feel like marching.
"I had a fever of 105 degrees,"
she said. "I wouldn't have
marched halftime if it weren't for
mom being there."
There were six majorettes
when Mrs. Turner was at
Auburn, she said, and four of
them participated in the Alumni
Band. "We got to twirl and march
together again," . Mrs. Turner
said. "That was really fun."
Today's majorettes wear
sequined one-piece uniforms. But
in 1938, when Mrs. Kitchens was
a majorette at Handley, she said
they were afraid the school prin­cipal
wouldn't let them wear their
uniforms because they were
somewhat daring at the time.
They were short, pleated skirts
like cheerleaders wear, red tights
and boots, a long-sleeved top and
tall hats, she said.
Mrs. Turner's uniforms were
velvet, she said, and they weren't
as high cut as today's are.
Women at Auburn in the early
1960s weren't allowed to wear
shorts or even slacks, she said, so
they had to wear raincoats over
their oufits to walk across cam­pus
for practice.
Today, in addition to about 10
game-day outfits, Babs said the
majorettes have a uniform to
wear to practice and Saturday
morning rehearsals. While some
may complain that their uni­forms
are too scanty, Mrs. Kit­chens
said she thinks the uni­forms
aren't too revealing, and
they are actually better to do
twirls in because they stretch.
During the summer of 1986,
Babs was selected to be in the

and a half she has been on the
committee, the faculty recom­mendation
was given "grave
consideration."
Jeane called the change the
"most bothersome." "The imple­mentation
of a form of plea bar­gaining
is a poor means of
achieving broad-based participa­tion
in the process," he said.
Dr. Michael Moran, a member
of the ad hoc committee, said, "I
have had faculty members tell me
they don't support the code
bacause they feel the decision is
out of their hands, that the sanc­tions
in many situations were
way, way too harsh."
Swanson stated the changes
recommended would have reme­died
the Jeff Burger case because
the professor recommended he be
given an F in the course.
Jeane said that was an inaccu­racy
and the statement that
faculty recommendations carried
no weight was "plain and simply
not true."
Another change Jeane objected
to was not allowing the commit­tee
to tell the student what its
recommended sanction would be.
Jeane said informing the stu­dent
of the recommended sanc­tion
served as an "internal check
and balance on the process. The
committee would have a verifia­ble
record of its actions.
"To tell a student he is guilty of
violating the code then state he
must wait until the vice president
gets around to deciding his fate
was deemed by the committee to
be cruel and unjust," Jeane said.
Swanson said he was willing to
make an amendment to this
change that the student be given
the committee's recommendation
at the same time he is told the vice
president's sanctions.
"In the Burger case, the student
had the opportunity to take it (the
recommendation) to the press
and influence the final decision,"
Swanson said. "I see no reason
why the student needs that prior
to the final decision."
Jeane suggested the "faculty
demand that the president pub­licly
reaffirm his commitment to
an honor policy free of political,
legal or outside intrusion," and
seminars for all students, faculty
and staff informing them about
the code, among other things.

was not given the opportunity to

makes all her statements invoun-tary
under the Miranda vs. Ariz­ona
court ruling.
"She claims she just signed, but
never read the statements,"
Myers said, "although the police
officer testified she had the
opportunity.
"This is not believable coming
from a person of the caliber and
education of the defendant," he
said. "Desmond testified he got
tired of the questioning and got
up and walked out — Becca had
the same opportunity."
Circuit Court Judge Robert
Gullage ruled to allow the ex­hibits
to be used in the trial.
Marion Johnson, Lakeita's
grandmother, said that Lakeita
had bed-wetting problems and
was old enough to bathe herself,
but there were "no problems in
Lakeita running away."
Johnson said that Becca told
her that she didn't whip the child,
just scolded her.
Lakeita's other grandmother,
Delores Scaife, the defendant's
mother, also agreed that there
were bed-wetting problems.
Pam Shirley, a neighbor at
CDV, told the court that Scaife
came to her apartment at approxi­mately
2 p.m. the day she dis­covered
Lakeita was missing.
"She said she was afraid
Lakeita would be found dead
because a similar situation had
happened with her brother,"
Shirley said.
"She said that Lakeita cried a
lot and made her angry, but that
she would -never hurt her. I
remember her saying one time
that Lakeita got mad because she
wanted to go to her grand­mother's
house (on North Gay
Street), so Becca told her to go on
and walk."
Former U n i v e r s i t y police
officer George Hall testified
S c a i f e approached him at
approximately 3:45 on May 9.
He said Scaife told him the
child had been missing since
approximately 2 p.m.
Although two hours is not gen­erally
long enough to consider
someone missing, Hall said,
Scaife "appeared to be very dis­traught
and upset," and he called
the police dispatcher.
David Magbee, also a former
U n i v e r s i t y police officer,
responded to Hall's call and
talked to Scaife.
"She was visibly upset. She
couldn't talk in full sentences and
was crying," Magbee said.
Magbee said Scaife told him
Lakeita had been in the bathtub
when she went to put her
younger child, Tia, to bed. She
said Lakeita was gone when she
awoke.
Magbee was given permission
and searched the apartment, he
said.
Cheryl Dixon, the child's natu­ral
mother testified that Lakeita
never wanted to visit the Scaifes
and would always cry. The child
visited them every other week­end,
she said.
In cross examination, Dixon
said child abuse charges had
been brought against her and her
husband by the child's father.
Desmond testified that "about
six months prior to disappear­ance,
Keita began not looking
forward to visits."
He said that when he left the
apartment at 12:45 p.m. for a
ministers' conference, he did not
lock the door like he usually did.
When he returned home, he
said Scaife told him Keita was
missing. He said he did not notice
if the Cadillac they owned had
been moved since that morning.
On May 19, Desmond said the
police came to their apartment
and told them the body had been
found.
The police asked them to come
to the station for questioning, he
said. No arrests were made, he
said.
The defendant was arrested the
following day, Desmond said. He
said he has not spoken to her con­cerning
the murder since the
arrest.
In cross examination, Des­mond
said he, Lakeita and Scaife
had a good relationship, and that
he doesn't think she did it.
Autopsies on the body were
inconclusive about the cause of
death.

Mental Health
The phasing out of the free
personal mental health coun­seling
for students is yet
another indication of the lack
of insight the University has
toward its students.
A service t h a t is so
obviously beneficial to many
is being terminated because
the University seems to feel it
would take too much work.
According to Dr. Paul
Crouch, director of Student
Development Services, to do
the counseling needed would
take a 24-hour operation with
four full-time dedicated psy­chologists,
plus the best grad­uate
students.
Why? What's wrong with
the system we have now? By
Crouch's own admission, the
services are overloaded. So
the University decides to
phase it out? The logic just
isn't there.
Maybe the University could
try a new thing and pay the
four psychologists to do their
job, and it could even provide
an incentive to graduate stu­dents
by offering to pay their
tuition and fees for work done
at the counseling services.
The counseling services
provide a place for distraught
and confused students to go
and share their problems in
No play
Something strange is hap­pening
a t t h e University
Theatre department.
Auburn, known for years as
a "cow college" and cultural
desert, had the distinct and
honored chance for one of its
plays, On the Verge to com­pete
regionally at the Ameri­can
College Theatre Festival.
The play would have been
one of six plays vying for a
spot to compete nationally at
the John F. Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts.
But then the dream stopped.
The faculty took an impromp­tu,
secret vote and decided
that it would put too much of a

confidence.
Now they are forced to look
elsewhere to alleviate their
problems: An approximate

suicide.
Of course the University's
officials try to rationalize
everything with quotes like
Vice President for Student
Affairs Pat Barnes's in last
week's, Plainsman: "Our feel­ing-,
was-that because of the
legalities involved and the
possible liabilities our counse­lors
might incur, that is was
incumbent upon us to offer
those services which were
within the preview of the
opportunities that we could
make available to Auburn
University students."
That is a gem of an example
of what rhetoricians call gob-bledygook,
i.e. bureaucratic
mumbo-jumbo that distorts
and confuses the situation.
Practitioners of the vernacu­lar
also have a word for it.
If the University can pro­vide
free health care in the
form of Drake Student Health
Center, then why not free
mental health care?
Quotes like Barnes's don't
give a solution; they just make
it all t h a t more difficult on the
student with the problem.
strain on the design areas of
the theatre to compete.
In the effort to compete
nationally, we're sure the
t h e a t r e department could
have worked something out.
For not only are the play's
chances for national recogni­tion
stifled, but three of the
four students in the cast now
cannot compete for the Irene
Ryan scholarship.
Indeed, the chance to com­pete
on the national level
should out weigh any of the
reasons given.
But stronger reasons need
to be given for a relatively odd
decision.
All we can say is: It's about
time!
Two hundred fifty-seven
"C" zone parking spaces were
redesignated "D" zone spaces
Tuesday.
Richard E. Dellinger, traffic
and parking manager, made
this stunning announcement
Tuesday, Feb. 16.
It is certainly pleasing to
see the University finally get
around to doing something it
should have done in the fall,
but c'est la vie. We'll certainly
take them.
This gift is just a precursor
to what is to come: 87 parking
spaces will be lost this quarter
when construction of t he
chemistry building begins,
and 91 spaces will be lost
spring quarter to compensate
for the aerospace engineering
and classroom buildings
behind Ross Hall.
You got to give a little to get
a little.
Tough question needs to be asked
I had hoped the furor over the
Dan Rather-George Bush fiasco
would have ended by now, but
apparently, the sickly steed just
won't roll over and gently gasp
its last breath.
Letter upon letter has des­cended
upon news agencies con­cerning
the exchange between
Rather and Bush during the CBS
anchorman's interview of the
Republican presidential candi­date
in late January.
The majority of the letters have
been anti-Rather and anti-media.
News magazines such as
Newsweek, and U.S. News &
World Report wrote whole stories
on the incident getting cries from
readers for the scalp, or worse yet,
the job of Rather.
While Rather is far from my
ideal of the perfect journalist, it
concerns me that what happened
between him and the vice presi­dent
has caused such a
brouhaha.
What exactly did the newsman
do wrong?
Newsweek and others have
said Rather was rude. From a
snippet of the interview I saw on
the Phil Donahue Show, it was
Bush who provoked Rather by
not answering the direct question
of Bush's involvement in the
Iran-Contra scandal.
When Rather attempted to get
a straight answer from the vice
president, Bush ducked and
dodged then landed a right hook.
Also, according to the Feb. 8
issue of Newsweek, Roger Ailes,
media consultant to Bush, and
Bush had planned to bash Rather
in order to alleviate the unfair
labeling of Bush as a wimp.
It is every politician's dream to
have a chance at conquering the
"biased" media; the victory pol­ishes
the politician's reputation,
and it enjoins sympathy from a
public who is not all endearing of
the media.
The vice president certainly did
that in spades by immediately
pulling out of his hat Rather's
walking off the set in Miami last
September — his right hook.
What this fact had to do with
the Iran-Contra scandal I
haven't quite figured out, but it
did shift the focus from the real
issue: What about your involve­ment
with the Iran-Contra scan­dal,
Mr. Vice President?
That question won't be
resolved for some time because it
is obvious Bush is not going to
answer the question, and most of
the public don't want the media
to ask the tough question.
, It astounds me that most, if not
all, of the presidential candidates
actually expect to go through this
election without being asked the
tough question.
One of these men will be the
future leader of our country, and
Jane Pauley on the Today show
is asking Elizabeth and Bob Dole
what type of fine china they
decided on before they were
married.
If the media is truly doing its
job, then Bush will be questioned
on his role in the Iran-Contra
scandal; Pat Robertson will have
to prove there are Soviet missies
in Cuba; and the other candi­dates
have to expect the media to
put them on the grill.
Granted, the media have a duty
to show respect to whomever it is
interviewing. On this point Sam
Donaldson and I agree: Rather
crossed the line that separates an
interview from a personal gripe
session.
However, Bush, playing the
consummate politician, avoided
a properly asked question, and,
then, sensing he could turn the
tables on Rather, Bush sent
Rather reeling against the ropes
with the Walk Off scandal.
And for the next few minutes,
the public Was treated to a dis­gusting
display of Rather and
Bush trading blows until Rather
abruptly ended the interview.
Most members of the media K
don't intentionally go after a pub- ,^
lie figure. What is sometimes per­ceived
as rudeness or obnoxious- I
ness is quite often dogged
persistence.
The media are the public's
watchdog; a dog the public all too *

pus, there are about 8,000 others
vying for the attentions of those
males. The competition's tough,
especially if you're not particu­larly
interested in competing.
Most of the people I'm close to,
both here and back home, are
married or about to be. My par­ents
have, been-..fiatientr doing
their best' not t<9 hurry me into-anything
(except maybe releas­ing
them from the financial
burden of college).
Only once did I hear a back­handed
remark from my father.
We were musing a couple of years
ago over a good friend's wedding,
which had just taken place.
One of my younger sisters was
wondering aloud what kind of
wedding she'd someday have.
"Well, I'll tell you one thing,'
dear ol' Dad said. "Tracey's
probably just gonna have to have
a good old-fashioned shotgun
wedding."
I could have gotten my feelings
hurt, but instead I was inspired.
Armed with this newly discov­ered
self confidence and a 12-
gauge shotgun, I set out to find
me a man.
I thought the most likely place
to start would be a frat party. I
reasoned that the young men
there would be single, good-looking
and wealthy. Otherwise,
how would they have gotten into
a frat in the first place?
Another qualification that
these guys would have is that
they'd be too drunk to be very dis­criminating.
This backfired on
me, however.
Some of the drunker ones ran
even faster when they imagined
they saw two of me.
I also never knew how to han­dle
myself at these parties. One
night, as I stood against the wall
— _
generic beer with a bit of potato
peel in it —I was approached by
one of the frat's little sisters.
"Um, like, no," she sniffed.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"The idea is to drink Mexican
beer, like Chihuahua, with a
twist of lime in it," she said.
Not wanting to admit my
ignorance, I coolly explained to
her that tboughts of beer and of
the small, nervous dog that gave
it its name resulted in other more
unsavory thoughts. Then, I shot
her.
Needless to say, I failed to snag
a Greek husband. But I soon real­ized
that a hubby is not some­thing
you can just go shopping
for; as I've seen with my engaged
friends, a fiance just happens,
like an automobile accident.
Wait, maybe that was a bad
analogy.
Anyway, I've decided to be
patient, to concentrate on my
career, to keep practicing that
guitar and to keep the shotgun
loaded. You just never know.

Liberal activists - blemishes on campus j
There is a blemish on this cam­pus.
No, it isn't the pitiful condi­tion
of Haley Center or the ongo­ing
construction of the Auburn
Metro Subway System or even
the sight of dozens of tuition-paid
Physical Plant workers idly
chewing their cud and watching
women walk by.
I speak of the liberal activists.
These are the die-hard patrons
of the turbulent era of bell-bottoms
and Woodstock, who set
up camp on the concourse and
fast for world peace and the erad­ication
of whalers, garbage and
uranium.
Now, everyone is for world
peace, but I don't know anybody
who honestly believes that fast­ing
is an effective means of
achieving Utopia. Even the
hungry zealots themselves must
confess that their actions will
have little bearing on the course
of history. Why, then, do they do
it?
It seems to me that fasting for
an important cause instills a
sense of unity and purpose with
similar groups across the coun­try,
the same sort of unity that
prevailed on college campuses in
the late '60s and early '70s.
That sense of emotional solid­arity
is the primary motivation;
the cause itself is arbitrary, as
long as it goes against the grain

of mainstream public opinion.
This point is best illustrated by
a recent convention held in
Washington, where campus acti­vists
met to discuss the re­organization
of the leftist politi­cal
structure of the late '60s. One
wild-eyed woman from Berkley
declared, "When we gather to
protest, they'll call the police, and
then there will be shooting, and
anarchy!"
She seemed to be hoping for an
armed confrontation. What, after
all, could better bring her friends
closer together in the fight
against injustice?
In fact, most of the liberal acti­vists
I know of would like nothing
better than to be arrested and
hauled off to jail simply to create
controversy. Recall the recent
example of State Rep. Thomas
Reed's attempt to climb the Ala­bama
Capitol and remove the
Confederate flag.
Whether the flag should come
down or not, Reed accomplished
nothing other than to show a
reckless disregard for the law; he
brought discredit to himself and
the cause.
We've had enough —
Today's student activists
represent a wishful return to the
Age of Aquarius, when radicals
and counter-culturalists rallied
around leaders like Ken Kesey
and Timothy Leary, who advo­cated
"free love" and legal drug
abuse.
In those days, violence
abounded on campuses and in
the inner cities. The Black
Panthers, a leftist paramilitary
organization, was involved in
countless shootouts with police;
they were exalted by the liberal
community as political visionar­ies,
and the violence was
regarded as a prelude to an
imminent government revo­lution.
Soon the nation's campuses
were swept by a wave of blind
idealism — a dangerous, mind­less
furor that lasted some 10
years.
That decade wasn't without its
good points, of course, most not­ably
the civil rights movement,
which unfortunately was also
punctuated with violence.
It is important, though, to rec­ognize
the true heritage of the '60s.
As David Horowitz and Peter
J
Collier have said, the '60s were
"an epidemic of drug abuse and
violent crime; a national weak­ness
and a confusion of purpose
— these problems, more than
hope and idealism, are the true
legacy of the'60s."
The same empty ideals that
guided that generation are with
us today in the minds of modern
campus activists.
They, like their past compatri­ots
see the world through clouded
lenses of romance and idealism.
Acting in the heat of moral pas- w;
sion, they fail to realize that stu­dents
and the American public in
general are sick of demonstra­tions
and protests.
This week, the Auburn
Alliance for Peace and Justice
(AAPJ) held a fast for "peace in
Nicaragua," a perfect exercise in
futility, especially .n Auburn.
Most politician:/ pay little, if
any, attention to ridical, juvenile
groups like the /APJ, lest they
look equally sillyto their voters,
and I doubt serioisly that news of
the fast will briig warring fac­tions
in Nicaragia to their knees.
By fasting, nembers of the
AAPJ achieved absolutely
nothing, except for evoking the
mockery of stuients who passed
them by.
They also lotf a little weight.

Many reasons for Civil War
Editor, The Plainsman:
I . am writing in response to
P a t r i c k Riley's letter, "Flag
represents black exploitation," in
the-Feb. 11 issue of The Plains­man.
I feel Riley has missed the
intent of Hoyte Johnson's Feb. 4
letter.
Johnson was trying to say
there were many more causes of
the the War Between the States
other than slavery. Slavery has
become the popular reason
through the media's distortion of
the historical facts.
Slavery is a much more dra­matic
subject than the many po­litical
issues which were the
actual bases for the South's
secession.Thepolitical discontent
which affected the South is not
farfrom the same issues which
caused the Revolutionary War.
The South endured many eco­nomic
and political sanctions as
well as tariffs which were forced
on it by an industrious North who
had a predominance of power in
Congress. .
This power was because of a
population explosion brought on
by i m m i g r a t i o n and other
factors.
With Congressional power, the
North was able to protect its own.
interests in shipping and manu­facturing
at the expense of the
agricultural South.
As far as the flag goes, slaves
sold to the Southern plantations
were brought by New England
merchant ships flying the "Stars
and Stripes." No Confederate
banner ever flew on a slave trad­ing
vessel.
It is also ironic that the leader
of the invading Union forces,
Gen. U.S. Grant, owned slaves.
Yet, the Southern commander,
Gen. Robert E. Lee, did not.
The war for Southern inde-.
pendence was not started over
the issue of slavery. It was an
effort by the North to stop the
South from leaving the Union.
Slavery was one of many polit­ical
issues the South had for
wanting to form its own nation.
Today, the battle flag is dese­crated
by racist groups such as
the Klan who have no rights to
the flag.
This is the reason I feel most
blacks see the flag as a racist
symbol. The Klan also uses the
American flag and the Christian
flag, but for some reason, they are
not depicted as racist symbols.
It is not the symbols of the Con­federacy
which are racist, but the
people who manipulate and
insult the cause for which these
symbols stand that are the
racists.
The men who fought and died
for the Confederacy were defend­ing
their homeland and families
from Northern aggressors, which
is no less valiant than the efforts
of the soldiers who fought in
America's other wars.
I am proud of my ancestors
who fought for the Confederacy,
and I see no shame in their beliefs
or in the heritage they have
passed on.
I challenge Riley and everyone
to educate themselves on the true
causes of the War Between the
States before forming hasty opin­ions
which have no basis.
It is only through education
that the myths of the Southern
cause can be put to rest.
I would also like to correct
Riley: It is not the "Stars and
B a r s " which flies over the
Capitol. It is a Confederate battle
flag which originated with the
army of Tennessee and was also
used by the Confederate Navy.
The "Stars and Bars," al­though
never officially adopted
by the Confederate Congress,
was recognized as the national
flag of the Confederacy until 1863
and resembles the "Stars and
Stripes."

Business is not kinder-care
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to Kim Bradley's
column in the Feb. 18 issue of The
Plainsman, I would have to con­clude
t h a t Miss Bradley just isn't
ready for the real working world.
If she put six scoops of coffee in
the bin like she was told to do, she
s h o u l d n ' t have a n y t h i n g to
worry about. She did what she
was told to do.
If, at some time, for any reason,
changes were made by her super­ior,
.she should have no right to
question those changes.
Miss Bradley noted that she
Foresters

Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to thank you for
writing about the School of Fore­stry.
Although we may be a pecul­iar
group at times, foresters have
very little trouble communicat­ing
with people.
On any given day a forester
may communicate with an illi­terate
timberland owner at lunch
and the president of a paper com­pany
the next hour.
Contrary to popular opinion,
foresters are a well-rounded and
educated association of profes­sionals.

Preventive
maintenance
saves money
Editor, The Plainsman:
When I worked as an aircraft
m a i n t e n a n c e supervisor, we
brought airplanes in for preven­t
i v e m a i n t e n a n c e at pre­determined
intervals, whether or
not anyone determined some­thing
was amiss.
We inspected major and lesser
parts and systems and repaired
and replaced items exhibiting
minor faults or not operating
properly.
We knew preventive mainte­nance
cost far less t h a n waiting
until some part failed. Waiting
for a broken aircraft not only took
expensive equipment out of ser­vice
at inopportune intervals, but
harbored horrendous opportun­ity
costs too.
Preventive maintenance proves
in all cases more economical —
both in real,and opportunity cost.
When T peruse the academic
honesty system, I notice very
obvious dents and scratches. I
reject the simple-minded notion,
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Preventive maintenance while
we have the "opportunity" should
surely save substantial later
"costs."
J a m e s H. F e n n e r , Ph.D.
A s s i s t a n t Professor,
Aerospace E n g i n e e r i ng
was "called an idiot several times
for not waiting on the customers
the second they walk in the door"
because she was told to "get clean
t a b l e c l o t h s and s i l v e r w a re
immediately."
Well, it is evident t h a t she has
not yet learned who the most
important person is in a business.
The customer always comes first,
no matter what.
Without customers, the busi­ness
cannot survive. She could
have gotten the tablecloths and
silverware after she made her
guests welcome and comfortable.
If Miss Bradley was uncomforta­ble
with the way her "60-year-old
balding ogre" was making his
comments about her hair, she
could have easily gone on the
offensive and said, "Hell, at least
I have enough hair t h a t is worthy
of a lawsuit!"
So, Miss Bradley, I urge you to
think next time about the busi­ness
situation you are in.
The idea of business is to cater
to the customer and make money
rather than to operate a kinder-care
for the employees.

Support needed
at city meeting
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to announce a
meeting of the Auburn City
Planning Commission on Feb. 25
at 5 p.m. at the city hall.
A public forum will be held
regarding the three-year review
of the "Auburn 2,000" plan.
What does this have to do with
the students? This plan governs,
among other things, apartment
parking lot regulations — some­thing
the SGA has been unsatis­fied
with and is working to
change.
At this meeting, the SGA will
make a presentation urging that
changes be made concerning
apartment parking lots.
Student support is a must, be it
with presence at the meeting or
phoning city hall to urge support
of a change in the regulations.
This is a perfect opportunity for
those students who are frustrated
with having their cars blocked in,
with the lack of adequate parking
etc... to do something about it.
Again, the meeting will take
place on Feb. 25 at 5 p.m. at the
city hall.
Thank you for your time.

In defense, a man argued that
it was not fair to prosecute him
for raping a nine-year-old girl,
since if he was married to her the
court could not touch him.
The court still found him guilty
yet stated that the current sta-
! tutes are against a wife's 14th
Amendment right to equal pro­tection
under the law.
State Sen. Hank Sanders from
Selma introduced a bill to make
Coffin
continued from A-2
ring to Reagan's two terms in
office as "unmitigated disaster."
However, there is reason to re­joice
because the President con­cluded
a treaty to eliminate a
class of nuclear missies, he said.
"I think it is a wonderful thing
that they had a right-wing presi­dent
get this and turn it over to a
Democrat-controlled Congress.
It may be the beginning of a
bipartisan foreign policy fit for
your children."
When asked in a question-and-answer
session about his view on
the flying of the Confederate flag
over the state capitol, Coffin said
"Flags are supposed to unite peo­ple.
If it separates the people,
what is the point in flying it?"
marital rape a crime in Alabama.
The bill went through and was
signed by the governor. However,
an amendment to fix a typograph­ical
error was introduced that the
governor never saw. Therefore
the bill had to go through the
legislature again.
The bill is currently bogged
down in a judicial committee, she
said, and some legislators have
changed their votes.
First degree rape, as considered
by Alabama law, is when a male
engages in sex with a female by
force, if the female is unable to
consent by reason of being physi­cally
helpless or mentally inca­pacitated,
or if the male is 16-
years old or older and the female
is younger than 12 years old,
deGraffenried said.
This is considered a Class A
felony and is punishable by 10 to
99 years or life in prison. Second
degree rape is considered a Class
B felony and punishable by one
to 10 years in prison, he said.
Rape is considered second
degree when the male is 16-years-old
or older and engages in inter­course
with a female younger
than 16, or if t he male is two years
older than the female.
Under this level, he said, a
female is considered raped if she
is incapable of consent by reason
of being mentally defective, for
example if she is intoxicated.
If a man is forced by a woman
to have sex against his will, he
can charge the woman with sex­ual
misconduct which is a Class
A misdemeanor and punishable
by a $500 fine and up to one year
in jail, deGraffenried said.
Also covered under this is if the
woman doesn't consent under
circumstances not covered by
first and second degree rape.
Also, if a male has intercourse
with a female with her consent,
but the consent was obtained
through fraud or artifice, he can
be charged with the misdemea­nor
rape.
In the commentary of a partic­ular
case, deGraffenried said,
fraud or artifice can include
temptation, deception, flattery or
promise of marriage. "We would
be locking up a lot of people, male
and female...," he said.
selves have presented realistic
and workable budgets — more so
than in the past," he said. "Eve­rybody
knows money is tight."
More funding is still being
sought, however, and Melton
said there is hope of receiving
more funding for next year. "I'm
optimistic about our chances of
getting more money," Melton
said.
In the long term, an increase in
each students' student activity
fee of tuition from $8 to $9.50 will
solve the funding problem, Mel­ton
said.
This set amount contrasts with
last year's Senate resolution to
make student activities fees a
percentage of tuition, Melton
said. The resolution passed on a
campus-wide spring referendum.
Meanwhile, Melton will meet
with President James Martin on
Thursday to discuss the possibili­ties
of finding more funds from
either the state Legislature or the
University's Concessions Board,
he said.
Melton will seek a closure
allowing the Senate to allocate
an extra $65,000 to student activ­ities
if it appears the money can
be obtained by one or both of the
two sources.
"If the chances (of receiving the
funding) are good — and all indi­cations
are good — then we'll go
with it," Melton said.

Coca-Cola commercial that was

For her audition, "They made
me stand in Foy Union and pre­tend
to twirl and drink a Coke,"
she said. For the commercial
itself, "They wanted me to throw
the baton up and take a drink of
Coke and not catch the baton
because I was so wrapped up in
the Coke!"
In the finished version, Babs is
leaning against a wall in Jordan-
Hare Stadium drinking a Coke.
They only shot her left side, she
said, so they "frizzed my hair and
put so much makeup on me that
the left side of my face was pur­ple,"
Babs said.
"It was really fun. It was a good
experience for me."
Fall was Babs' last quarter as
an Auburn majorette. She will
graduate at t he end of summer
quarter; afterward she hopes to
work in Birmingham in real est­ate
development, which is what
her parents do.
"I imagine I'll have to start at
the bottom, but t h a t ' s OK — it
builds character," she said with a
laugh.
"In high school, it always
seemed like I was second best,"
Babs said. "So my dad said to
find something I really like and
to give it my all, a nd if I didn't get
it, I'd know it wasn't because I
hadn't worked hard."
"My goal was to prove that I
could stick with something. It
taught me a lot," she said.
"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with
all nations - entangling alliances with none."

Cagers steal win
Morris does it all in Tiger victory
Kurt Crain signals touchdown against Alabama
Crain relaxing before draft
By Geoff LoCicero
Staff Writer
Anxious college seniors will be
gathered around televisions,
waiting for phones to ring come
NFL draft day.
But not Auburn senior Kurt
Crain. Expect the All-American
linebacker to spend April 24 just
relaxing, maybe even chipping
and putting.
" I ' l l probably be sitting
around," the Birmingham native
said. "I might even play some
golf that day."
With the draft, the future is just
a big question mark, Crain said.
"It's kind of weird," he said.
"You've got no control over the
situation. It's just who wants
you. You don't know what time or
what round you'll be taken. It's a
wait and watch game."
Professional scouts project he
will be chosen in the fifth round
or later, but it's all still specula­tion,
Crain said.
"You never know," he said.
"It's just what a team needs at
that time. You have to look at it
from the perspective that you just
want a chance. It's kind of funny,
really. You don't know what your
destiny holds."
But Crain is sure that he will
make it in the pros.
"There's no doubt in my mind
that I can play professional foot­ball.
I'm looking forward to it. It's
another challenge, another step­ping
stone."
Crain said it will be important
to keep his priorities in perspec­tive
once he reaches the profes­sional
ranks.
"If you play, you're going to get
paid well," he said. "But you can't
lose the idea that you're out there
for the love of the game, not just
the money. You've got to keep the
two aspects balanced."
At Berry High School, Crairi
was kept busy juggling baseball
and football. As a senior, ,he was
named a USA Today All-
American in football and was
I t ' s another chal­lenge,
another
stepping stone.'
—Kurt Crain
drafted by the Cincinnati Reds.
Memphis State offered an oppor­tunity
to play both, and Crain
headed for Tennessee.
"Football was on the upswing,
and the baseball program was
established," he said. "I don't
think it was a bad choice."
But after his freshman season,
the head football coach was
killed in a plane crash, and
things started going downhill.
"I didn't feel the (football) pro­gram
was going anywhere," he
explained. "I'd never been in a
situation before where there was
not a chance to reach your goals.
I'd always been an Auburn fan so
I started looking here."
Crain transferred to Auburn
after his sophomore season, sat
out the 1985 season under NCAA
regulations and suited up with a
new group of Tigers for his last
two years, opting to play only
football.
The move was benefitial in
terms of exposure and the level of
competition, according to Crain.
"I think it's been unbelievable
in terms of what it's done for Kurt
Crain," he said. "I had the oppor­tunity
to be watched on TV and
get recognition nationwide, espe­cially
recognition from the (pro)
scouts.
"They know you're playing a
quality schedule against good
college players. If you stand out
in these games, they know you
can play."
Crain's statistics also back up
his peformance the past two
seasons.
As a senior, he led the Tigers
for the second consecutive year in
tackles with 168, including three
sacks, and added a team-high
five interceptions. In 1986, he
paced the team with 156 tackles
and picked off a pair of passes.
Crain earned All-SEC honors
both years and was named an AP
All-American this season.
"It (the All-American selection)
makes all my personal goals
come true," he said. "Making All-
American is not only a dream

When you mention the name
Chris Morris most people think of
spectacular slam dunks and
other offensive exploits.
But Saturday night against
Tennessee Morris' outstanding
offensive performance was over­shadowed
by his defense down
the stretch, which may have
saved the game for the Tigers.
Two crucial steals and a block
of a Greg Bell three-point attempt
preserved Auburn's 73-68 win
over the Volunteers.
For the game, Morris grabbed
14 rebounds, blocked three shots
and tied a school record with six
steals. Offensively, he was 11-of-
18 from the field and 5-of-6 from
the free throw line for 27 points.
Afterwards Morris said it was
probably his best performance of
the season.
"I think I played with good
poise," he said. "I didn't lose my
head like I did in the Kentucky
game. I was able to hit the key
shots and make the key
rebounds."
He said he was also pleased
. with his defense. "Sometimes you
have to anticipate a pass or a
drive," he said. "I did it twice. I
think I did a good job doing it
without fouling. It was just luck
on my part. Sometimes the refs
will call a reach-in foul, but these
were clean. I think I played better
defense than I ever did before."
The victory improved the Ti­gers'
record to 15-8 overall and 8-6
in the conference, only one and a
half games behind league-leading
Kentucky and Vander-
MU ..,.
Tennessee fell to 13-10 overall
and 6-8 in the conference.
"This was a big win for us," an
elated Coach Sonny Smith said.
"Tennessee is playing under such
an emotional strain with so much
riding on each game."
Terrance Howard, who fin­ished
the game with 13 points,
said the Tigers weren't playing
up to their capabilities in the first
half. "We were just going through
the motions," he said.
In the second half, Tennessee's
Bell went on a three-point binge,
hitting three of his six three-oointers
in a four-minute stretch.
Then with 7:17 remaining, and
Auburn down by seven, Smith
switched from a zone to a man-to­man
defense. "That was a big
factor," he said.
With the Tiger defense keeping
Bell in check, John Caylor hit a
three-pointer from the top of the
key that moved Auburn to within
two at 63-61.
"That got us started," Smith
said. "That was the key."
A Jeff Moore basket with 1:08
left gave the Tigers their first
lead (65-63) since the 11:55 mark.
With Tennessee forced to foul,
Auburn iced the game by hitting
eight free throws in the final
minute, six of them by Howard,
who was perfect (7-for-7) from the
line for the night.
"That was probably the best
last two and a half minutes we've
played in a long time," Smith
said, "because we played with
poise and confidence. Chris'
steals and our free throw shoot­ing
really helped us out."
Morris said the game was an
important one from a team
standpoint.
"I think we came together as a
team tonight," he said. "After
this game our confidence is up,
and it's up more than just a
notch."

Netters take victories in weekend matches
Watt, Brannon lead ladies
By Adicia Abbott
Staff Writer
The Lady Tiger tennis team
defeated Northeast Louisiana
University and LSU this week to
continue its three game winning
streak.
The win over LSU was the big­gest
win for the lady netters this
season. Kristen Overton, Kim
Brannon and Robin Sharp won
their single matches, and the
double teams of Overton-Sandi
Irwin and Sharp-Brannon won
"their doubles matches.
"This was probably the most
complete and satisfying win
we've had this season. It was
a great team effort," head coach
Ross Boling said.
For number one seed Sue Watt,
a junior from Oakville,Ontario,
the defeat of Northeast was espe­cially
rewarding. "Today was a
good one for me. Last weekend
was disastrous, but today I feel
wonderful," she said.
Watt outplayed Lillemore Hed-berg
from Uppsala, Sweden, to
take the two set victory. "Sue
played better than she did this
weekend. "She has just got to
remember that the key is to keep
your emotions on an even keel,"
Boling said.
"I'm not thoroughly satisfied
with the way we played, but we
did go out there and play hard
and dominate," Boling said.
Since Northeast was a weaker
team, Boling feels that his team
was not motivated and could
have made a better showing,
even though the Tigers won by a
score of 8-1.
"Sometimes when your oppo­nent
is weaker, the match won't
be close and then all of the sud­den,
they have gotten pretty
close. You tend to play more on
the level of your opponent," he
said.
The Northeast match was a
warmup for what the netters will
face throughout the rest of the
season. Next week the real test
will come when the Tigers play
Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
"We've still got a lot of work to
do within the next week and a
half to be ready. We're trying to
upgrade in the conference and a
lot of improvement has got to be
made," he said.
In preparation for future
matches Boling is focusing on the
importance of hard work and
dedication during practice. "You
win matches on the practice
court, and you play the way you
practice," he said.
The Lady Tigers will be travel­ing
to Birmingham this weekend
trying to better their SEC record
against UAB.
Men sweep competition
at Auburn Invitational

Staff writer
' The men's tennis team got off
to a 4-0 start on the season last
weekend as they swept the
Auburn Invitational.
Saturday, the Tigers defeated
North Florida, 5-4 and Georgia
State, 6-0, then followed UD on
Sunday by prevailing over Hunt­ingdon,
6-3 and Samford, 9-0.
With the victory over Hunting­don,
head coach Hugh Thomson
claimed his 200th career win.
Thomson said he was pleased
with the performance of the team,
mentioning that 11 different
players competed over the
weekend.
Singles winners for Auburn
over North Florida were Ian Rus­sell
(No.l), Lionel Ferreira (No.4)
and Adrian Moghina (No.5).
Russell and Ferreira teamed up to
win at No.l doubles and Matt
Hewitt and Martin Persson won
at the No.2 position.
Auburn blanked Georgia State
in singles play with Russell, Fer­reira,
Hewitt, Persson, Danie
Terreblanche and Cameron
Bryan winning respectively. The
doubles matches were not com­pleted
due to darkness.
Three of five freshmen (Hewitt,
Moghina and Persson) per­formed
for the Tigers on Satur­day.
"There was alot of pressure
in the first match," Thomson
said. "After that one though,
when they played the second
match, they were totally different
players."
Against Huntingdon, singles
winners were Persson (No.2),
Terreblanche (No.3), Mark
Kessler (No.5) and Sandeep
Narang (No.6). In doubles action,
Terreblanche and Ferreira won
at the No.2 position along with
Kessler and Kenny Lahey at
No.3.
Sweeping Samford in singles
were Rockie Mason, Hewitt,
Moghina, Ferreira, Lahey and
Bryan, in that order. Mason and
Moghina teamed up to take the
No.l doubles, while Kessler-
Lahey won at No.2 and Narang-
Lahey won the No.3 doubles.
Concerning the achievement of
claiming his 200th career victory,
Thomson said that he was aware
of it prior to the Invitational.
"I thought I might get it, but it
was interesting with all the sub­stitutes
we made," he stated.
The netters will be leaving
today for Las Vegas, Nev., where
they will participate in the
UNLV tournament.
