Tuskegee University student
leaders are attempting to work
out a compromise regarding
the university's new demand
for payment of late student
fees. The demand stems from
the abuse of the university's
installment plan, school offi­cials
estimate 2,000 students
owe a total of $2 million.
According to the student
leader's attorney Rose Sand­ers,
students owing more than
$300 in fees will not be allowed
to attend the remaining classes
or take exams. The students
were given two weeks notice of
the policy.

After almost two years without
a dean, Auburn's College of Lib­eral
Arts has finally received a
permanent dean to replace acting
dean Caine Campbell.
Dr. Mary P. Richards, asso­ciate
dean of liberal arts at Uni­versity
of Tennessee-Knoxville,
was appointed Tuesday by Presi­dent
James Martin. Her appoint­ment
becomes effective the first
week of July.
"Dr. Richards has demon­strated
a combination of- scho­larly
activity and administrative
ability that is well-suited to the
needs of Auburn University's
largest and most diverse college,"
Martin said in prepared state­ment.
Campbell, who served as asso­ciate
dean of liberal arts before
becoming acting dean, is
expected to resume his duties as
associate dean of the College of
Liberal Arts following the
appointment.
"She (Richards) is experienced
and very capable of reaching
goals that the faculty and stu­dents
of the College of Liberal
Arts desire to accomplish,"
'•Ca'mpbell said* Wednesday; • •••
"She was given wide accord by
faculty members and department
heads when she visited the cam­pus,"
Campbell said. "They are
looking forward,and I am looking
forward to her leadership begin­ning
July 1."
The vacancy of dean of liberal
arts came after former dean
Edward H. Hobbs of the School of
Arts and Sciences left Auburn in
October 1986. The School was
renamed the College of Liberal
Arts.
An offer was made by the dean
search committee in summer of
1986 but was declined.
Almost a year later in spring
1987, the dean search committee
recommended Campbell for the
post, but Vice President of Aca­demic
Affairs Warren Brandt
rejected the recommendation
without explanation.
Richards was offered the posi­tion
about a month ago.
Richards has been on the staff
at the University of Tennessee-
Knoxville since 1971 and has
held several administrative posts
at the university.
She served as assistant vice
president for academic affairs
from 1972-73, director of under­graduate
studies in the English
department from 1976-78 and
associate dean of the graduate
school from 1982-85.
Mary P. Richards
Richards is a magna cum
laude graduate of Southern
Methodist University, and she
earned master'sof arts and doc­torate
degrees from the Univer­sity
of Wisconsin-Madison.
The new liberal arts dean has
won the Women of Achievement
for Excellence in Teaching in
1980 and the Women of Achieve­ment
Award for Tradition of
Excellence at the. University of
Tennessee-Knoxville.
Martin's Far East travels culturally rewarding
By Kimberly Bradley
Assistant News Editor
Walking through China's For­bidden
City, President James E.
Martin, wearing an Auburn
jacket, found that the Auburn
battle cry transcends the culture
and language barrier.
He said an American tourist
yelled "War Eagle!" from across
the ancient building's courtyard
and gave him the Women's
NCAA basketball results. He
also said he saw former collegues
he hadn't seen in years.
Martin and an Auburn delega­tion
recently spent three weeks in
the Far East meeting with repre­sentatives
from universities in
Taiwan, China and Hong Kong.
"I would have never thought
we'd see so many Auburn fans
while in the middle of China,"
Martin said.
The representatives he met in
China and Taiwan are eager to
initiate exchange programs, with
professors from each country
spending time abroad, Martin
said.
"A quarter of the world's.people
live in China," Martin said.
"Over the past decade they have"
gradually opened up to the West,
but we in the Western world still
know very little about Chinese
culture and language.
"I believe that if we can gain a
better understanding of their cul­ture,
we'll both benefit."
When professors spend six
months or a year in China or
Taiwan, Martin said the benefits
then spread to their students.
Of Auburn's. 600 foreign stu­dents,
160, are from Taiwan and
,22 aye from the People's Republic
?f of China. "For these reasons, we
expect our, international pr6-
grams to continue to grow," Mar­tin
said.
Another area in which Auburn
has already started working with
universities in China is forestry.
China has only ,12 percent for­ested
land, said Forestry Dean
Emmett F. Thompson, who was
also a member of the delegation.
Professors at Nan Jing Univer­sity
and Auburn are working on
long-range goals such as trans­planting
the Southern slash and
lobolly pines to refurbish the
forests, Thompson said.
Martin said he noticed one of
the problems resulting from the
forest, shortage when the group
was traveling by train.
"A lot of the railroad ties were
made of concrete," Martin said of
the, many ties he saw in some 50
hours of train riding.
When one of their plane flights
was cancelled, the group had to
take a 22-hour train ride after a
previous 18-hour one, Martin
said.
"At first, the scenery was inter­esting,"
Martin said, "But after
one rice field, you've seen them
all."
When the train finally arrived
in Taiwan, the group had a
surprise.
"All of a sudden, the army sur­rounded
the train and locked the
doors. There were a lot of little
men running around with big
guns," Martin said.
They later found out that a
man had been beaten on the train
behind them, Martin said, but for
45 minutes they didn't know
what was happening.
However, the long train rides
didn't put a damper on the trip, he
said. The group visited the Great
Wall, the famous terra cotta fig­ures
in Xian, museums, attended
a violin performance and enjoyed
Chinese food, Martin said.
"By the end of the trip, I could
pick up one grain of rice with
chopsticks," Martin said.
Dorm renovation on schedule
By Kirsten Schlichting
Copy Editor
The renovation of Hill Dorms
A, B, C and D is on schedule, and
plans for new dorms are in the
final stages, according to Stanley
Drake, assistant vice president
for the Facilities Division.
The renovations should be fin­ished
by Aug. 1, Drake said. "We
don't expect any difficulty with
having them (the dorms) com­pleted
on time," he said.
However, "It will take a dedi­cated
effort on the part of the con­tractor
to finish on time," he said.
Gail McCullers, director of
housing, said the renovations
include removal of all asbestos,
installation of new plumbing,
electrical and mechanical sys­tems,
exterior security lights,
' new windows, doors .and locks,
and improved fire alarms and
smoke detectors. In addition,
McCullers said the sorority chap­ter
rooms are also being redone.
Also, one wall in each room will
have vinyl covering, McCullers
said, so pictures may be put up. In
the old dorms, this is not allowed
because tape takes the paint off
the walls.
"We've gotten a real positive
response from students who are
coming back to live in the
dorms," McCullers said.
The renovation, which is being
done by Williams Construction
Co. of Columbus, Ga., is. being
funded by a $24 million bond
issue, McCullers said.
At the end of this quarter, Hill
Dorms E, F, G and H will be
closed for renovation and will
reopen in the fall of 1989. Dorms J
and K will close at the end of

New SGA officers installed; old reflect
By Bret Pippen
Editor
With the enthusiasm that
marked her campaign, Cindy
Holland made her first remarks
as the newly-installed SGA presi­dent
Monday night at the SGA
installation banquet.
Addressing a Foy Union Ball­room
crowd of approximately
150 student senators, University
administrators and parents, Hol­land
said, "It's going to be a neat
year working together for
Auburn. If you ever have a con­cern,
my door is always open. I
don't want there to be any ques­tion
about what's going on."
Included in her closing
remarks was also a plea to the
newly-installed SGA officers to
"achieve unity within the SGA,
on campus and with the
administration."
Harold Melton, 1987-88 SGA
president, stressed in his farewell
address the inexperience and
challenge he felt when he took
over the position a year ago.
"When I began, I didn't know
what to expect; I had never been
the president of anything," Mel­ton
said. "So I was well aware of
the challenge that lay ahead."
He commented on the oppor­tunities
he saw: The functioning
of the University and the fear of
reality he said he felt.
"I'm pleased to say I trust the
administration," he said. "I have
gained immense respect for Dr.
Martin, and I say this because
the students don't realize the
good that's being done on this
campus."
Turning to Holland, Melton
congratulated her and told her of
the excitement he had seen in her
face when she had won, an emo­tion
he said he envied.
As the keynote speaker, Presi­dent
James Martin congratu­lated
the former SGA officers for
a job well done in representing
Auburn and their constituency.

Radiation
Experiments
on campus
monitored
By Paul DeMarco
Staff Writer
The steady clicking of the
Geiger counter was sleepy, but
the slight scent of ammonia was
enough to awaken the tiny hairs
of the nose. On a marble table
lay a lead box containing four
glass tubes.
The clear liquid content didn't
reveal the immense energy or
danger the tubes contained.
Held up to the sunlight it shone
brightly. Held up to the Geiger
counter, a stinging buzz emitted
by the machine broke the
silence.
Gamma rays invisibly shot
throughout the room, only
detected by the sensitive
instrument. •
These four tubes are not sit­ting
in some underground Pen­tagon
laboratory. Instead, they
are kept in a small room tucked
away in the basement of the
University's Nuclear Science
Center. The contents of the
tubes, lithium fluoride, are
being held for an experimenter
on campus.
Keeping a watchful eye on
this material is just one of the
responsibilities of John King,
the University Radiological
Safety Officer. An Auburn
graduate, King is the official
caretaker of any radioactive
material on campus. Cluttering
his desk are vast sets of rules
and guidelines that must be fol­lowed
and strictly abided by to
be licensed to use these radioac­tive
substances. King's basic
responsibility is to enforce these
regulations.
"Auburn has a very tight con­trol
on experiments which use
radiation," King said. "There
are specific guidelines that are
used when a person wants to use
this type of material on
campus."
First, an application to be
licensed to work with these
materials on campus must be
submitted to and approved by
King and the Radiological
Safety Committee. Next, a lab
site and the amount of substan­ces
to be used in the experiments
must be approved. All of these
specifications fall under the
federal, state and University
guidelines.

Resident wins Ms. Senior America
; Auburn resident Gilda Campbell won the Ms. Senior America
contest last week in Atlantic City, N.J.
The mother of five and grandmother of 10, Campbell, 63, won
the Alabama contest in fall 1987 and has since traveled thousands
of miles speaking to senior groups before going to Atlantic City.
"We owe it to the younger people to present a positive image of
the golden years," said the wife of Auburn chiropracter John

Fountains contain t o o much lead
Two water fountains at Leeds Elementary School were discov­ered
to contain up to eight times the amount of lead considered to
be safe.
The water fountains were tested after a student's father decided
to test the water out of curiosity and discovered the high levels of
lead.
"I was just wondering about those old water fountains," said
Chuck Thomas, whose daughter attends the school. "I don't think
this anything specific to Leeds. They ought to check all the foun­tains
in all the schools, particularly elementary schools."

High court paves way for porn bill
The Supreme Court paved the way for President Reagan by

porn services.
The American Civil Liberties Union said any ban on services
would be unconstitutional, but the Supreme Court refused to hear
arguments that the bans violate free-speech rights.

Chief justice candidate comes to Auburn
By Colleen Moran
and Becky Jeffers
Staff Writers
"To be a real lawyer, I had to
get out of politics," said E.C.
"Sonny" Hornsby, candidate for
chief justice of the Alabama
Supreme Court.
Hornsby, who spoke Tuesday
in Foy Union, discussed his role
as a potential chief justice and
the current condition of Ala­bama's
courts and judicial sys­tem,
focusing on overcrowded
prisons and juvenile justice.
"The chief justice wears two
hats: that of the person who sits
with the other judges and reviews
cases on appeal, and that of the
chief administrator of the Ala­bama
court system," Hornsby
said.
For the system of checks and
balances to work, he said, "The
judicial branch must be inde­pendent
and not influenced by
'The judicial branch must be inde­pendent
and not influenced by out­side
pressures.'
— E. C. 'Sonny' Hornsby
outside pressures." The court has
to make decisions that aren't
always popular, Hornsby said.
"It is the sworn duty of the
judge to be fair and impartial,
and he can't be biased to anyone.
He must exercise discipline to not
show favoritism."
The chief justice has the job of
manager of the courts. "There are
1,747 employees within the state
working in 67 courthouses at a
cost of $65 million a year,"
Hornsby said.
As the manager over all this,
Hornsby would be the person
who allocates the resources. "It's
like taking on the role of a busi­nessman
because it's his job to
see that all the tools are in place
in a timely manner," he said.
If you ask the public what they
think the problems with the court
system are, Hornsby said they
would quickly tell you "crime,
soft judges, slow judicial process,
the rich having an unfair advan­tage,
overcrowded prison system,
etc..."
"I want to do something
because at this rate we could
break the state," he said. In 1976,
the Board of Corrections said
there were 3,500 prisoners in the,
state. Today there are 12,500 pris-oners,
and the projection is
upward of 15,000 by 1990,
Hornsby said.
The prison population will
increase by 1,000 inmates a year,
which will create a need for a new
prison each year, he said. "It.
presently costs $20 million to;
build a prison and $10 million a''
year to operate," Horsnby said.
"The Prison Review Task Force
says the way to fight these
increases is to make changes.
within the Juvenile Justice Sys-'
tern," he said. The number of
juvenile delinquents continues to
increase, but the amount of space -
needed to house them doesn't.
"If we can identify the problem,
maybe we can save the children,
and reduce the number of adults,
who become criminals." This is a
plan to stabilize the prison sys­tem,
he said.

S GA presidents making history at Auburn
Melton reflects on
challenging year
By J a n e t Jimmerson
Features Editor
When Harold Melton was a little boy he couldn't
make up his mind what to be when he grew up.
/*I wanted to be anything from a football player
td a doctor to an actor," he said. "Then I dreamed
of being a college basketball player."
•It never crossed his mind that he would some­day
be the first black SGA president at Auburn. In
fact, Harold said he was surprised when he won,
"because I had never been president of anything
before."
Although he said his record for the last year
"Will stand on its own merits," he believes the
election will be remembered as his mark on
Auburn. As the first independent to win in 20
years and the first black student he said, "I'd like
to" think we said that anybody can run for
anything."
This statement could be echoed by his successor,
Cindy Holland, whose installation this week
marked another first in the University's history.
Asked if he had any advice for Cindy after his
experience, Harold smiled and said, "Ohhh yeah.
"Ask lots of questions." This is important when
people come in asking for opinions, he said. "If it
takes five minutes to explain, there's definitely
more there." To make a sound decision, he said it is
important to go "beyond the surface."
If he could do it over again, he said he would
make better use of his executive assistants early
by getting them started on specific projects. In
addition, "I would like to see the SGA get more
involved right when things happen," he said, ref­erring
to issues such as academic honesty and
mental health counseling.
He complimented this year's Faculty Senate for
effectively using its voice but said, "We have as
much right as they to issue complaints."

Harold Melton and Cindy Holland set precedents
Holland hopes to be
a voice for students
By Janet Jimmerson,
Features Editor
It may be an issue to some, but Cindy Holland,
03 PRJ, said the fact that she is the first female
SGA president has not affected her.
"I'm excited just to be president. I hate that it's
become an issue," she said, "because I want people
to look at me as a qualified candidate and now as a
qualified president." However, she admitted this
status has put some extra pressure on her.
Her first priority since her installation Monday
night is choosing next year's cabinet, she said,
"because right now I'm secretary of political
affairs, director of elections and secretary of pub­lic
relations."
She is looking forward to being surrounded by
people she knows will work, she said, and encour­aged
anyone interested to sign up this week for an
interview. SGA experience is not required, but she
said she wants applicants to "show me some goals
and show me some energy." Interviews are sched­uled
for next Monday and Wednesday.
Meanwhile, she has scheduled a student forum
for May 24 in an effort to find out what students
concerns are. Members from the Student Senate
and cabinet will be present for questions and sug­gestions,
she said.
"It will be a time for students to ask questions
about specific issues, and it will give us a chance to
tell students about things going on."
The forum is an effort to let students know they
have a voice, she said. She also wants to establish
a question and answer column in The Plainsman
and arrange a weekly call-in session with WEGL.
Some things in the works, she said, are the
implementation of computerized scheduling for
drop and add, the beautification program on cam­pus
and revised seating at football games. She .
would also like to see expanded library hours, she
said.

Artificial ligament prolongs
athletes' successful careers
By J a n e t Jimmerson
> Features Editor
In the last year there have been
49 knee injuries among Auburn
athletes, according to basketball
trainer John Larkin. Few of these
athletes returned to their former
condition, he said.
Two of these athletes, Meg
Nystrom and Shan Morris,
injured the anterior cruciate lig­ament.
;This ligament is one of two cru­ciate
ligaments positioned within
the joint that prevent excessive
sliding movement of the bones in
the knee. Two collateral liga­ments
along the sides of the joint
and pads of cartilage called
menisci provide additional
stability.
Meg, a first-year gymnast, suf­fered
a tear to the ligament prior
to her arrival at Auburn.
Now, according to the Sports
Information Department, her
"success depends on her knee."
Likewise, Shan started playing
football for Auburn as a safety,
but has seen only limited action
since suffering an injury to the
same ligament in the 1986 Ala­bama
game.

Chris Kirby
* .AND THE WINNER IS — A member of Alpha Gamma Delta
Sorority, Annalyn Duke, 02 PB, won the Miss Greek Week
pageant Sunday night.
Meg and Shan both had
their anterior cruciate ligaments
removed.
Because the cruciate ligaments
are at the center of the joint, they
are the greatest source of stabil­ity
in what Dr. Jimmy Milton
describes as an "inherently
unstable joint."
Milton is a professor in ortho­pedics
at Auburn's Small Animal
Clinic. He and fellow professor
Dr. Ron Montgomery are work­ing
with doctors at the Hughston
Sports Medicine Clinic to produce
an artificial ligament that will
replace the losses of Meg and
Shan.
Their work is sponsored by the
Richards Company, a firm based
in Tennessee that develops
orthopedic products. Milton,
Montgomery and Dr. Nels Mad-sen
from the mechanical engineer­ing
department have been testing
a material developed by the com­pany
to see if it will pass Food
and Drug Administration
requirements.
To test the ligament, Madsen
said he simulated stress created
by the body by fixing the bones
on top of each other with only the
artificial ligament to keep them
in place. Then he pulled the bones
apart and "recorded the distance
stretched and the force required
to stretch that amount."
Unlike most joints, Milton
said, the knee involves two bones
that cannot remain in place
without the surrounding liga­ments
and cartilage. And,
because of their position within
the joint, cruciate ligaments are
difficult to repair and replace, he
said.
Madsen said the biggest prob­lem
they faced during the testing
"was adequate fixation of the lig­ament
attachment at the inser­tion
point." He explained that it
was necessary to devise a method
to attach the ligament so that
"the knee resists loads, but will
give way before the bone fails."
Of the techniques currently
used, Milton said, "none of them
are 100 percent effective." It is a
well-known fact, he said, that
athletes who suffer injuries are
not likely to regain their original
level of performance even after
rehabilitation and replacement.
Meg chose to have her ligament
Photography: Chris Kirby.
Nystrom, Morris recovering from knee injuries
replaced in December and
allowed doctors at the Hughston
Clinic to perform an allograft.
This is a procedure in which they
graft a donor ligament in place of
the original. Unfortunately her
body rejected the graft, and doc­tors
were forced to remove it.
Four weeks ago she received
one of the experimental artificial
ligaments Milton and others
have been testing. This time it is
unlikely her body will reject the
ligament, Milton said.
"This material will hopefully
be inert in the body and will be
acceptable to anyone...like suture
material," he said.
If successful, he said there will
be several advantages to this
type of ligament. "It could elimi­nate
the rehabilitation period
required for athletes," he said,
"because these ligaments should
be ready to go." They will be at
100 percent, he said, whereas lig­aments
that are repaired or
grafted will probably never be.
Dr. Glen Terry of the Hughston
Clinic said the new ligament is
"the best thing I've seen so far."
Because it can be inserted
arthroscopically, through an
instrument inserted into the
joint, it could eliminate the need
for surgery, he said. It could also
prevent the complications that
can arise from allografts like
Meg's, he said.
'It may be exper­imental,
but it's
supposed to be
the best thing
out there.'
— Meg
Nystrom
However, there are a number of
people who are advised against
replacement.
Shan's doctors have instructed
him to compensate for the miss­ing
ligament by increasing the
strength in the surrounding leg
muscles.
There is no guarantee that
either Meg or Shan will regain
complete stability, and neither
wants to ask the doctors what the
odds are.
"It may be experimental, but-it's
supposed to be the best thing ?!
out there," Meg said. >i
"I don't want to know," Shan*
said. "You try to believe that hard ;•
work will overcome any disad-;
vantages that you have. That's •'
what I've had to do all my life." -*,
Shan's father.who played for'',
the Chicago Bears, had four knee .'>
operations, his brother had two*;,-
and he has had two — all results-'/
of football injuries. %
"I've been on crutches a fourth >>
of the time I've been at Auburn,"/*
Shan said. He often wonders, he"'.*
said, what his potential would>
have been without the injury. "I'll "+
never know "if my injury held me;^
back, or if it was something else," t
he said. '".
Larkin, who has worked with ;•'*
several injured athletes, said, '/t
"Once you tear a knee up i t ' s -
never going to be 100 percent.';
again like the good Lord made it."'.-.
Maybe not. ;.-.
But, Milton, Montgomery, 'i:
Madsen and the Hughston Clinic '%
have spent three years working •. *
to improve the odds for athletes ••".
like Meg and Shan, and accord­ing
to Meg, the results "feel pretty
good."

Harold, continued from A-3 New architecture dean discusses field
Overall, the biggest headache
of the job he said "is learning how
to manage it all."
"The business kinda gets to
you...it's time slot after time slot
after time slot," he said.
When Harold entered office
there was a full agenda of issues
and projects requiring the SGA's
attention. Members were faced
with never-ending parking prob­lems,
budget problems and the
students' request for a new
swimming pool. All of these
issues were examined, he said,
and each situation was improved
in some way during his year.
The SGA secured an approval
from the Board of Trustees for
preliminary work on the pool and
received an extra $70,000 for the
Budget and Finance Committee.
Although the parking problems
continued, Harold said he was
glad to see students becoming
more active on that committee
this year.
However, there is room for
improvement.
For example, the University's
racial situation might improve,
he said, if social fraternities were
integrated. "Now they're on a
separate-but-equal basis. I think
that's behind the times," he said.
Asked if he thought minority
recruitment had improved during
his term, Harold said it was too
early to tell, but estimated that
this year's enrollment would be
higher than last year's.
Although, the last two years'
elections demonstrate a break
with tradition, there is one tradi­tion
that Harold says he feels
may result in future problems for
the University. He cautions that
"at times we really need to be
careful with how much we let
athletics affect other areas of
campus."
This summer Harold will be
working with the governor's
office as the administrative
assistant for youth affairs. His
duties will include organizing the
three upcoming trips to the Soviet
Union being made by Alabama
high school students and work­ing
with drug awareness
programs.

Ray Parker says architecture is
a "dynamic profession" requiring
"lifelong learning" and constant
development.
Parker replaced former dean
Keith McPheeters this quarter as
Auburn's new dean of architec­ture.
He graduated from Arizona
State with a degree in building
construction in 1955 and from
Auburn in architecture in 1969.
He received a master's in archi­tecture
from Rice University in
1970.
Auburn has a unique sense of
"place," Parker said, because the
University has a regional under­standing
of architecture. Auburn
is a "well-thought-of school in
the architecture field, and the
program has a lot of richness, he
said.
The profession is taking a
stronger interest in the educa­tional
side of architecture. "It
demands graduates with a
stronger knowledge of the basic
principles, plus management
skills and computer knowledge."
Parker has spent the last 18
years as an architect and execu­tive
in the private sector and said
the job market for architects is
growing. "After registration,
many architects are going into
fields other than traditional
practice, such as government,
corporate, manufacturing and
construction areas."
There's also a stronger aware­ness
of architecture on the part of
the public, he said. "There's been
a lot of press, and people are buy­ing
more architecture publica­tions
than ever before."
Trends are constantly develop­ing
in architecture, but "there are
many different schools of
thought as to what is current."
There is an increased sensitivity
to environment at this time, he
said.
Architecture is "building con­stantly
on past history and uses
historical elements to reflect tra-ditional
concerns. History
enriches our profession," Parker
said. Architects don't have to
create entirely new ideas because
they are always building on his­tory,
he said.
The period which architecture
is now in "really doesn't have a
name," Parker said. "We're not
going toward a certain style, but
there's a re-emphasis in aesthet­ics,
and people are demanding a
better environment."
Some of this awareness began
in the 1970s with the oil embargo.
"It put such a focus in the loss of
natural resources, mainly! oil,
that people started looking at
energy costs, which lead us to
look at the basics.
"For example, orientation, day-lighting
considerations and pas­sive
solar all aid the conservation

Wrong relations
In the April 15 edition of the
Birmingham Post-Herald,
University Relations Director
Herb White gave his view
concerning the impact of
Harold Melton's election a
year ago:
" H i s e l e c t i o n was ap­plauded
by the administra­tion/
Everybody knows blacks
can» excel here at athletics,
but he's proven that blacks
can excel in every area."
Irt^other words, thanks,
Harold, ftMetting the admin­istration
know that blacks
ca;i, do more on Auburn's
cajrapus t h a n play football or
basketball.
ft is inconceivable to us t h at
such a statement could be
issued by the man responsible
forifae University's image; an
image t h a t has taken a racist
beating of late.
,^Uien asked about the
quote, White stood by his
statement, saying he felt he
s a i d nothing wrong. The
Plainsman thinks he is
wrong, both in the statement
and his subsequent defense of
it.
With one sentence, White
sweeps aside any attempts at
reform the University has
made toward minorities and
any progressive steps made
by blacks in the classroom.
What about blacks in other
areas on campus, such as
academics?
Does White truly believe
that blacks cannot excel in
any other area other than
athletics?
An a d m i n i s t r a t i o n that
could not see blacks excelling
in any area other t h a n athlet­ics
is one t h a t will continue to
bear Auburn with the burden
of racial prejudice.
Work together
There has been a recent
rash of complaints concern­ing
the Auburn University
police Department: Students
qomplaining of harassment,
bullying, unnecessary ques­tions
and ID checks.
v The last thing The Plains-j$
an wants is harassment of
students from the Universi­ty's
elite police force; however,
if is hard to argue against
good police protection. ./,-
a According to Chief Jack
Walton, there have been some
dorm mothers complaining of
strangers wandering about
tfte ladies' dorms, and he h as
instructed his officers to be on
the lookout for anyone acting
suspicious.
"The issue of our campus
protection is an important one
and one t h a t travels along a
two-way street.
Students should realize the
campus police have a tough
job keeping a campus secure
from 19,000 college students,
who tend to do what they
want, get caught, then com­plain;
and the AUPD should
realize that not every student
walking around campus at
night is a suspicious charac­ter
who warrants an ID check
or interrogation procedures.
The Plainsman asks the
students to work with the
p o l i c e d e p a r t m e n t , not
against them. Cooperation
from both sides could help
alleviate a potentially div­isive
situation.
law
Oh April 15, t he new pedes­t
r i a n safety law went into
effect, requiring all pedes­trians
and joggers to wear a
reflective vest when they do
their thing at night.
Does this mean that every
person who is caught walking
down the street to a friend's
house- or a semi-intoxicated
so_meone w a l k i n g home,
ijristead of" driving, will be
$ulJ£d over and stuck with a
ffneY r W'
J A u b u r n City Manager
Poirg Watson says, "No."
J The fines are $25 for first-
#me offenders then $75 for
Subsequent offenses.
J While Watson admitted the
4jrdi)iance did not differen-
Ciafe between a pedestrian
walking in the middle of the
street and one walking on the
sidewalk, Watson did say the
police have been instructed to
only ticket those who are
found walking in the street
without the vest.
Also, if someone is caught
without their vest, Watson
said, they will be given 48
hours to produce a reflective
vest and won't have to pay the
fine.
However, the ordinance
should be amended to specifi­cally
name pedestrians walk­ing
in the street without the
vest, because as long as it
exists in its present form,
innocent pedestrians might
be uncessarily forced to buy a
vest.
Stressed? Just relax with own music
Sometimes a man's music
becomes his god.
Whether for good or bad, it
happens. Music holds such an
important place in one's life that
it becomes a religion; he becomes
a critic of other styles and vehe­mently
defends his own reasons
for enjoying a particular brand of
music.
I am one of those people.
Not to say that music utterly
and completely controls my life,
it's just that I like to rock the barn
every once in a while.
With the everyday grind of the
paper and school, this guy needs
a break, and his music provides a
much-needed one.
Unfortunately, my kind of
music is just not played on the
radio anymore: Jimi Hendrix,
Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane,
the Doors and the like have all
been relegated to speciality
shows, and we '60s fans search in
vain for our brand of music.
However, there is hope, and
hope springs eternal in the car
tape deck.
Along with this love of music, I
also suffer from the incurable
disease of Singing-Along-With-
The-Songitis.
SAWTS, as it is known within
the medical community, or Foo­lishness,
as it is more commonly
known, strikes me most often
when Hendrix is played or on
that odd occasion an Elvis tune
wafts across the airwaves.
Of course, the symptoms of
SAWTS are:
— Uncontrollable bobbing of the
head, whether back and forth or
side to side;
— Strange lip movements, either
the Presley curl or the Jagger
pout;
— Arm gyrations, either "bang­ing"
the drums or "playing" the
guitar;
— A tendency to not pay atten­tion
to traffic signals; and
— An' extremely loud stereo,
which, thank goodness, drowns
out a tuneless voice.
I come to you suffering from all
of the aforementioned symptoms.
However, because I bought a
Honda with a factory-installed
stereo system, I haven't found the
time or the money to invest in a
car stereo of the quality I enjoyed
in high school.
While in high school, I was
blessed with an early '70s brown
Pinto with the much-sought after
light brown, vinyl interior, but
none of this matched my pride
and joy — a Sparkomatic stereo
system, with booster and four
speakers, two 40 watters up front
and two 60 watters in the back.
Thus began my worship of
music — loud music.
Back home, if one's car stereo
didn't put a crack in the wind­shield
when you flicked on the
booster, it wasn't worth listening
to. Mine cracked the windshield,
two windows and both head­lights.
Everyday at 3:15 p.m., people
three blocks away could hear the
pleasant sounds of AC/DC as my
Pinto be-bopped down the block.
Because I tried to keep in tune
with AC/DC lead singer Brian
Johnson, I often suffered voice
loss, but it didn't matter because
for approximately 20 minutes a
day, I was in my own world being
a rock and roll star.
However, being as time moves '
forward, my Sparkomatic boos­ter
blew out at the corner of
Somerville Road and 11th Street;
and I now own a four-ddor
Honda, with a family type of ste:"
reo system, i.e. no booster.
But, sometimes that certain
song — "Purple Haze," "White
Rabbit," or "Hello, I Love You"';-..
comes across the airwaves, and
I'm once again transported via
music to my high school rock and
roll days.
All at once, I'm Jimi Hendrix,
setting my Fender Stratocaster'
ablaze; Grace Slick, standing on
a stage flanked by haunting LSD
images; or Jim Morrison, wrap­ping
his leather-clad body
around a microphone stand.
Just a warning: The next time
you see me or anyone else with
SAWTS, be cool, we're just
relaxing. * • •
Smoking stomps on rights of others
In this country we are blessed
with certain inalienable rights
such as the right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. But
some people's right to "the pur­suit
of happiness" is interfering
with my rights to life and even­tual
liberty from an artificial
respirator.
Those people are smokers.
A few years ago the non-smokers
of America revolted
against this popular practice and
began a revolution which started
with designated smoking areas
in restaurants and planes and
continued with a campaign to
deglamorize the habit.
I am happy to-say'the tide-seems
to be turning, although I
think it has more to do with the
yuppie trend toward self-improvement
than with any of
the public service ads.
After all, what can those ads
say that hasn't been said? I think
Will Rogers expressed it best
when he said he couldn't under­stand
the sense in taking a roll of
dried weeds, setting fire to it,
sticking in your mouth and
suckin' in.
But the fact is people have a
right to slowly kill themselves,
whether it makes sense or not is
Janet
Jimmerson
Features Editor
•
beside the point.
Recently Northwest Airlines
announced its intention to pro­hibit
smoking on ajl flights, in all
areas. Bravo. This and other
actions have ignited protests
from smokers who feel their
rights are being violated. They
have baited the ordinance
unconstitutional.
They claim the right to smoke
whenever and wherever they
want.
Welllllll now,isn't that special.
I don't believe there is such a
right. Once again we are seeing
the basic rights of freedom and
personal pursuit of happiness
being.confused with some mis­guided
right to inflict our pur­suits
on others.
People have a right not to be
force-fed smoke for the same rea­son
smokers have a right not to
be force-fed small amounts of
arsenic if I suddenly decide that
makes me happy.
A ridiculous premise, you say?
I think not. Both are documented
for their ability to shorten life
after prolonged use. The differ­ence
is one is considered approp-.
riate for extermination and when
misused results in a murder
charge.
The other is simply considered
a bad habit.
The government has long
sought to protect the public from
misguided individuals claiming
such misguided rights.
The FDA protects us from meat
packers who claim a right to sell
whatever falls- into the -grinder-and
call it bologna. The health
department denies the rights of
some to protect the public from
dangerous infections by conta­gious
individuals.
Likewise, public areas should
be protected from exposure to
dangerous substances. The EPA
is working on the great outdoors
by regulating industry and car
exhaust.
Meanwhile, we are forced to do
the choke-and-gag during dinner,
drinks and toilet breaks.
Those of us not voluntarily
smoking have for years been
asked to compromise our right to
breathe to be with friends and .
relatives. They don't ask us-if-they
can smoke, yet they force us ,
to smoke with them.
Let's face it, these people show *
more concern about expelling gas
in front of us than they do about
shortening our lives. ;
If I wanted to really offend
some people, I'd say smokers arp
a dying breed, and this problem
may not last for long. But, the
habit is so widespread and there
are so many kids just starting
that smoking seems to be a fact of
life — a fact I find offensive arid
life-threatening. ! •
•^Therefore, I am relieved to se$
some action finally being taken
to offer protection from this very
real threat. I agree with North­west
Airlines, and I hope the
move proves successful.
Smokers should be prohibited
from smoking in all closed areas
used by the public as are the pro- <
ducers of other toxic wastes,
because there is no right to
endanger others.
Finally, in a discussion of
rights, I would assert that the
most basic " inalienable" right is
the right to breathe.
Loopholes in elections law need fixing
By now the dust has settled on
a campus that, just two weeks
ago, was the scene of Campaign
'88 — Auburn's own contribution
to democracy.
It was a hellish four days for
many of the candidates. But prior
to the actual campaign week,
some candidates were subjected
to a different type of misery —
useless budget guidelines regu­lated
by this year's Board of
Elections.
Somewhere along the line, the
regulations concerning how
much could be spent by each can­didate
violated what I like to call
the "all-or-none" theory. Some­where
along the line, these regu­lations
became inconsistent with
their purpose.
Secretary of Political Affairs
Alex Atwater said the budget
regulations were adopted to con­trol
"free spending" by the candi­dates.
By setting a limit for what
could be spent on each individual
campaign, all candidates —
regardless of their financial sta­tus
— would; theoretically, be
equal.
Granted, the E-Board had good
intentions, but the actual budget
regulations, in addition to being
ambiguous, weren't enforced well
enough to be of any consequence.
Prior to the actual compaign,
the E-Board decided that "All
campaign budgets must be typed
on the Election Budget Form"
and "All receipts must be turned
in with the budget."
Sounds rather structured,
doesn't it?
It makes a great deal of sense to
limit the amount of money that
one can spend for a campaign,
but what doesn't make sense are
the allowances provided by the
Elections Board.
The system, organized as it
may be, is full of loopholes that
permit candidates to spend more
! Paige
Oliver
Tech Editor
than the budget allotted by the
SGA. Because of provisions for
"gimmicks," T-shirts and con­course
cars (or trucks as the case
may be), candidates could get
away with almost any amount of
added expense.
The SGA Constitution limits
the expenditures of major candi­dates
to $675 for SGA presiden­tial
and vice presidential candi­dates,
$500 for those running for
SGA treasurer or The Plainsman
editor, $350 for Glomerata editor
candidates and $300 for Miss
Auburn candidates.
Candidates were expected by
the E-Board to include such
things on their budget claims as
billboards, printing costs, mate­rials
used for campaign purposes
and slides. If the materials were
not specifically bought for cam­paign
purposes, they were to be
claimed at "fair market value."
OK, now let's be realistic. The
budget set forth by the E-Board is
a farce. It was designed simply to
satisfy the candidates who feel
disadvantaged by a "free-spending"
system.
But perhaps the biggest farce is
what the candidates claimed on
their individual budgets. Cindy
Holland recently revealed that
though the budget she turned in
was below the $675 limit required
by the SGA, she actually went
over that amount.
And somehow I seriously doubt
that she was alone.
As for what exactly each can­didate
claimed, we may never
know.
Documents that, according to
Director of Elections Carolyn
Lehr, were supposed to be sent to
the archives department of the
library Tuesday are no longer
available. When the information
was requested, representatives of
the E-Board refused to release the
individual budgets turned in.
I was told that the information
would be held until the E-Board
could meet to decide if the infor­mation
could be released to the
press.
A representative from the
archives department said Wed­nesday
that it is "too soon" for
records concerning the election to
be submitted.
What is wrong with this
picture?
Under section 601.2 F of the
Election Law in the Constitution
of the SGA, one of the duties of
the Secretary of Political Affairs
is to "provide adequate informa­tion
concerning all elections to
the official university newspaper
prior to and following each,
election."
Simply being told that all the
candidates turned in budgets .
below the limit is not what I cori; .'
sider "adequate information." "
As for the enforcement of these'
budget regulations, the E-Board
might consider following through
with its original decision to
keep up with the receipts from the
candidates.
One major candidate told me
he turned in a budget, but ne­glected
to turn in receipts. And it ''*
seems that no one said a word '
about it. Not to him, anyway.
So what is the point of requir­ing
that receipts be submitted if it
is just a formality?
It seems fairly obvious to me
that either the E-Board needs to
be more consistent in the depi-'
sions that they make or the laws
of the SGA Constitution that
govern these areas must be'
revised.

Not all mechanics are bad
Editor, The Plainsman: .
After reading Amy Durkee's
column, "Beware: Auto mechanic
around corner," in the April 7
issue of The Plainsman, I was
relieved t h a t I did not recognize
her-as one of our customers.
As a frequent advertiser in The
Plainsman, I felt I had to respond
to her criticism of my field.
I am a parts manager/recep­tionist
of a local "import special-ist.
J> I agree that there are many
people in this field who are poorly
trained and some who will take
advantage of their customers.
However, there are quite a few
goo'd, honest mechanics in
Opelika-Auburn. We have them
at our shop, and we have busi-ness.
dealings with others.
I/a like to suggest that Miss
Durkee and others who feel they
are,at the mechanic's mercy to
shop for an auto repair shop as
you would for a physician or any
other professional supplying
services.
First, ask people who drive sim­ilar-
cars who they recommend or
don't recommend. Check out a
recommended shop before you
need major repairs.
Ask about the mechanic's
training, the owner's- experience
and expertise, the grade of parts
used and the overall profession­alism
of the shop.
Get a manual about your car
written on your level. When your
car begins to have problems, you
can read about the possible rea­sons
so that you can ask the
appropriate questions when the
mechanic diagnoses the problem
and suggests repairs.
When you do find a trained and
experienced mechanic, expect to
pay him for his training and
experience. When you graduate
from college and enter your
chosen profession, you'll expect
to be paid for your knowledge.
I could write a letter as long as
Miss Durkee's article about a cus­tomer's
car we've had since
August.
We've had to pay $600 out of
our personal pockets to cover the
cost of labor and parts to fix his
car for repairs he authorized.
One customer asked us to
replace the front axle; he was
going to pay us the following day.
Within the week he found a car
he liked better and wanted us to
take our axle back. Do you think
he ever paid his entire bill?
What would you do when you
are asked to take a mechanic who
works on commission off of his
job to come to the phone to
explain to a "do-it-yourselfer"
how to fix his car?
As to repairs that won't stay
fixed: If t he mechanic gives you a
choice between repairing your old
part for about $25 or replacing
the broken part with a new one
for about $125, what will you
choose?
In the case of a radiator fan
that won't s t ay fixed, either there
is an electrical problem that
needs to be repaired by a skilled
$35 per hour mechanic or the fan
and/or other parts needs replac­ing;
you get what you pay for.
Most honest mechanics try to
fix the problem in the least
expensive manner. Unfortu­nately,
when the problem proves
to be more extensive than the
mechanic thought or if repairs
did not hold because of the wear
on the old part, the customer
assumes a rip-off rather than
good will on the part of the
mechanic.
Any good shop will gladly
recheck your car after it has been
repaired if you are not satisfied
with the work. If fixing the prob­lem
requires additional time and
parts, you should be charged for
it.
That is unless you prefer to
request all new parts and a com­plete
overhaul when you first
bring it in.
Miss Durkee, we at auto repair
shops do not have as our goal to
cheat every unsuspecting person
that walks through our doors any
more t h a n you try to write each
e d i t o r i a l so t h a t it will per­manently
scar your victims.
Some of us are quite nice and
actually try to accommodate our
customers, especially Auburn
students.
I hope you'll talk to other
V o l k s w a g e n owners, t r y a
recommended shop and be a con­siderate
customer — it certainly
beats walking.
D i a n n e Hammock
Auburn
Football shadow too long
Editor, The Plainsman:
Here it comes again — the A-Day"
game is fast approaching.
The excitement is building, and
soon alumni, students and fans
will buy tickets for a glimpse of
what Auburn will offer this fall.
And what are all these people
going to see: a practice, an inter-squad
scrimmage. So what's the
big,deal?
Tjie "big deal" is football. Even
now, in the middle of spring quar­ter^
three out of four front page
articles in last week's Plainsman
Sports section concerned football
— hot Sissy Costner's record
high jump; not the women's ten­nis
team matches versus third
ranked Kentucky, but instead,
football.
The importance placed on foot­ball
is reflected in the stadium
expansion, the new football facil­ity
and planned Sewell Hall ren­ovations;
all are examples of
where University priorities lie.
But what about the rest of the
campus?
Auburn offers a great variety of
academic and extracurricular
activities; many of which go
unsupported by the University.
As president of the men's soccer
team, I know the frustration of
being ignored by the University
and athletic department.
There are many sports clubs
with University charters that
exist, compete intercollegiately
and provide students with unique
opportunities and experiences,
yet receive no financial support
from the school.
We — sports clubs — represent
Auburn in every victory and loss;
wherever we compete and with
the goal to do our best.
Unfortunately, I attend a
school that lets itself be governed
by the desires of a select few.
The football p r o g r am is
immense and deserves praise but
also needs to be put into
perspective.
Why must other athletic pro­grams
compete in the shadow of
Jordan-Hare? I say spread the
wealth, and with a little time and
luck Auburn will be known as
more than just a "football
school."
Mark N. Russell
0 3 G PO
E d i t o r ' s Note: While The
Plainsman shares Russell's con­cern
for our University's perspec­tive,
I feel one thing needs to be
cleared up. Russell states that
three out of the four front page
stories in the April 21 issue of The
Plainsman concerned football.
That is true — to an extent: Of
the three "football" stories, one
was on the decision involving the
Iron Bowl, something we consi­dered
news; and the other was a
report on a speech by a sports
agent on sports agents. The third
was a football story concerning
the surprise return of James
Joseph to the gridiron.

Spades need 10 best students
Editor, The Plainsman:
Well, we've done it. By electing
a woman as our SGA president
we have made history at Auburn.
We can now say t h a t our school
is on its way toward becoming a
progressive co-educational insti­tution
of t he '80s. It is good to see
that we are starting at the top
with our efforts, but perhaps we
should examine some of the
smaller on-campus, sexist organ­izations
that hinder our advance­ment.
Spades, an honor society of 10
senior men chosen each spring
who excel academically, politi­cally
and socially, is the most
notorious of these groups.
A Spade is something every
male entering Auburn should
aspire to become, but what about
Auburn's females, what can they
aspire to become — a Diamond
(Doll), a (sweet) heart or an (aux­iliary)
Club?
In the past 65 years all but 12
SGA presidents have been
tapped into Spades. Winning the
office is sort of a ticket to
entrance among the elite 10.
This year our president is
Cindy Holland. She has excelled
academically (3.75 GPA) and
socially (two sorority offices, War
Eagle Girl, active in several clubs
and holds a part-time job) as well
as politically.
It is plain to see t h a t Cindy has
proven herself more t h a n worthy
of Spades membership — the
only problem is that she is a
female.
Spades, what are you going to
do? Our school is rapidly moving
forward, yet you continue to keep
us back through your sex exclu-siveness
and inability to face
change. Spades should include
women. ». £.
Because Spades is not a mere
social organization but a presti­gious
honor society working for,
the good of our campus, why set­tle
for the 10 best men when you
could be the 10 best students? ''•'•"
Cindy Holland would be ah
excellent start.

Don't let scandals stop you
rt Editor,-TheJllainsman:...
Many people have amused
themselves by observing the
escapades of some of the televi­sion
evangelists.
This derision has not only
affected the ministries of the men
who committed these acts but
also the ministries of all other
preachers.
While I do not condone their
sins, I do support the spread of
Christianity. While some people
view religion as Marx did —
"opium of the people" — I do not.
The criticism t h a t is spreading
is unfair to those ministers who
are preaching and practicing
what Christianity is.
Among the tenets of this
mocked, religion are peace,.-fel­lowship
and harmony.
Swaggart's and Bakker's fail­ures
should not be the issue; we
all fail.
Possibly you heard Swaggart
criticizing Bakker when the PTL
scandal first broke. Swaggart crit­icized
Bakker for not admitting
his sin, not the actual sin itself.
Christians believe the act of
admitting their error and asking
for forgiveness leads them to
salvation.
Jesus said to Peter, "Watch and
pray, t h a t ye enter not into temp­tation;
the spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak" (Matthew
26:41).
Christianity teaches that peo­ple
should not condemn the acts
of other people. As it says in Mat;
thew 7:1, "Judge not, that ye tie.,
not judged."
Swaggart did all that was'
required to redeem himself. Even '
if he did not, he will eventually >
pay. As it says in Romans 12:19,
"Vengeance is mine, saith the
Lord." .:• •;.
The true tragedy of these reU-,
gious scandals is that it might
dissuade those people who might,
otherwise feel called to Christ.',
If you are on the verge of copn-mitting
your life to Christ, do not
let these scandals stop you. Just
as not all athletes are dumb, not"
all evangelists are out to make
money.

We're looking for a few good fel­lows.
And we would like to enlist
the help of The Plainsman read­ers
in our search.
During 1988, the American
A s s o c i a t i o n of U n i v e r s i ty
Women (AAUW) is celebrating
the centennial of its fellowship
program and is attempting to
locate all who have been recip­ients
of AAUW fellowships.
AAUW is the oldest and largest
organization working for educa­tional
and academic equity for
women. Its Educational Founda­tion
provides funds to American
and international women for
study and research.
Through activities of various
kinds the AAUW membership
has raised millions of dollars to
provide fellowships to 5,000
women during the past 100 years.
As part of its centennial festivi­ties,
the Education Foundation
hopes to locate and honor all of
its past recipients at a Centennial
Symposium, Fellows' Reunion
and Gala in Washington, D.C., in
June.
The Auburn branch of AAUW
is planning a Centennial celebra­tion
at the local level on May 4 at
6:30 p.m. at Grace United Metho­dist
Chuch. Auburn has raised
money for the support of fellow­ships
with its annual used book
sale.
This year the book sale will be
at the Village Mall, Friday arid
Saturday, May 27-28.
This is an appeal to help the
Auburn branch find former
AAUW fellows. If you have,
received an AAUW fellowship or
know of someone who has, please
contact me at 826-4412 or 821-

Her office hours will be from
noon to 5 p.m. during the week,
and she said she is looking for
feedback from students. "What's
scary to a president is taking a
stand and then having the stu­dent
body disagree."
$ome of the issues facing
Cindy and the SGA this year will
be the core curriculum and the
proposed revisions to the aca­demic
honesty code approved
this year by President James
Martin and the Faculty Senate.
She supports the core curriculum,
but preferred not to comment on
the academic honesty situation,
she said, before talking to the
people involved.
There will be several adjust­ments
in the coming weeks for
the new president, but she doesn't
seem concerned. One of her
assets she feels will be her enthu­siasm,
which she believes moti­vates
the people around her. "I
enjoy what I do," she said. "I
don't expect there to be one hour
out of a n y day t h a t I'm not think­ing
about something that has to
do with the SGA," she said.
When asked how she felt about
her new visibility on campus, she
said she was a little embarrassed
but felt it gave her extra incen­tive.

who I am,and they're watching

Drake said Burton Hall, Terrell

is because the administration

One of the new dorms will
probably house males, Drake
said, and the other two will house
females.
"The designs are complete;
however, the design requires
more dollars to construct than we
have money to spend," Drake
said. Therefore, the architect is
trying to restructure the plans.
Because of this problem, Drake
said, the new dorms will probably
open in the fall 1990.

Quoting an unknown source,
Martin said, "Leadership is the
ability to get other people to do
what you want done because they
want to do it.
"The SGA and the Senate will
find themselves here, but you
don't have any way other than
the^ability to convince others of
the worthiness of your goals.
"You, as a student leader, will
not-be able to talk to every stu-dent'on
this campus."
"This implies an additional
characteristic — the ability to
provide external and internal
communication," he said. "If you
look at the SGA, it h a s developed
over a long period of time, and it
continues to develop.
"But I want to remind you that
if any organization that is going
to continue to be a major leader­ship
group, it must decide what it
will become and not stay in the
past.
"I ask each of you to always be
thinking of what the SGA might
become rather than what it has
been in the past."
"In the past seven years that I
have worked here, we have not
had any problems at all with
spills or contamination of any
sort," King said. "No one has any
business being in a lab unless
they are supposed to be there, and
as long as people follow these
rules and just don't walk into lab
and start touching things there
will not be any problems."
The Environmental Protection
Agency and the Alabama State
Bureau of Radiological Health
both make inspections of these
experiment sites.
King said the University is
licensed to use a certain amount
of radioactive material on cam­pus
and of that only 60 percent is
used on campus. On the campus,
there are 90 licensed personnel
who may use radioactive ma­terial
and approximately 76 "wet
labs" where these substances are
used at the University.

Parker said he couldn't think
of any other profession that's
more satisfying because of the
d i v e r s i t y available. However,
architecture takes "tremendous
dedication," he says.
If advising a graduate, Parker
said- he would tell him to "travel
and experience as many things
they've studied as he can." It's
very important to constantly be
aware of the architectural envi­ronment,
he said.
- Parker said he thinks the dean
of a professional school needs
both an academic and a profes­sional
perspective, and he hopes
he can bring these strengths to
Auburn. He may make changes
in the future, but said "before you
change anything, you need to
have a thorough understanding
of what's going on."
He will h a ve a n "open-door pol­icy"
with students and will be
glad to discuss possibilities for
them anytime, he said.

(Surprise) Bruce No. 1, 7 other Tigers drafted
Chicago signs Burger as free agent
By Selena Roberts
Sports Editor
Surprise, surprise. Aundray
Bruce went to the Atlanta Fal­cons
as the nation's No. 1 pick.
Then, seven other Tigers fol­lowed
Bruce in the two-day NFL
draft last Sunday and Monday.
Also, quarterback Jeff Burger
was picked up by the Chicago
Bears Tuesday night.
Burger says the move to Chi­cago
should be a good choice
since the Bears aren't expected to
sign another quarterback.
Bruce, who had already signed
a $4.1 million contract with the
Falcons prior to the draft, was
presented his Atlanta jersey by
NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle
Sunday.
Bruce knew where he would be
on draft day — in Atlanta
celebrating.
But most of the players who
were drafted had to wait, with
shaky nerves, for the telephone to
ring.
For All-American offensive
tackle Stacy Searels, the call
came from the San Diego Travelin' Man
White finds life on road satisfying
By Lori Dann
Assistant Sports Editor
Pocket billiard and trick shot
artist Jack White has met the
Queen of England, eight U.S.
presidents and every celebrity
from Paul Newman to Cher.
Yet his most important and
satisfying visits, he says, are
with college students across the
country.
"1 don't mean this disrespect­fully,"
he said, "but if God came
down it wouldn't interrupt what I
was doing with the students."
White, the self-proclaimed Don
Rickles of pocket billiards, has
been touring campuses for the
last 30 years. He has made the
trip to Auburn 29 consecutive
years, including his visit to the
Foy Union game room last week.
During his four-day visit,
White gave pointers to prospec­tive
players and supervised the
annual Jack White Pool Tourna­ment.
On the last day he held a
trick shot exhibition in front of a
small crowd of students and
faculty.
"I go .to over 200 colleges a
White in his younger days Photography: UPC
year," he said, "and I would have
to say Auburn is among my top
five schools."
With such a busy schedule,
White doesn't have much time to
spend at his home in Beverly
Hills. But that's the way he likes
jfc«- - = .-••..•.- '•• -" - .»! . •»'
Last year I was home for 51
days," he said. "This year I left on
Jan. 1 and I'll go home June 10.
Then I leave again in mid-
August. I could have retired a
long time ago, but I love what I'm
doing. Like my wife says, I'll
probably die playing."
White has an interesting analo­gy
for his sport. "I've always
equated what I do with being a
doctor or a surgeon," he said.
"Either you know what you're
doing or you don't. But none of
them make what I do. The bottom
line is that I produce. If I don't I
have to get a job."
The key to his success, White
said, is his attitude. "I treat every­one
with the same respect. I like
to tell it like it is."
And that he does. When
Auburn President James Martin
didn't show up for their sched­uled
match last Thursday, White
joked, "Tell that dummy he
should come down here. He'll
learn more down here than in
that office.
"He's been up in his throne for
too long. He needs to get out and
get some air and see some stu­dents
once in a while."
White is notorious for his
friendly insults. "I get on every­one's
case," he said. "They get
mad at me if I don't. They say
'What's wrong? Don't you like
me?'
"I think one problem with the
world today is that too many
people worry about other people.
Worry about yourself. Don't say,
'I hate that Jew' or 'I hate that
black guy.' That's not necessary.
It's so easy to like people."
Tad Hill, who won what White
called "probably the most excit­ing
tournament we've ever had
here at Auburn," said, "He's
great if you don't mind a little
crudeness every now and then.
He's able to approach things like
racial issues and still not offend
anyone. That's not easy."
White, who plays with a
custom-made $3,000 cue stick,
said a player needs three things if
he wants to play professionally.
"Discipline is the first thing you
need," he said. "The second is
dedication.
"The other thing is to learn how
to play pocket billiards, not pool.
Pool is played in dens of
inequity...like the University of
Alabama. Pocket billards are
played at Auburn."
Although he has beaten all the
great players, including Willie
Mosconi and Minnesota Fats,
there's one person who seems to
break his concentration.
"Bo Derek beats me every
time," he said.
Chargers at 6:30 p.m. Sunday,
thirty minutes before the first
day of the draft would be over.
"I was relieved. The waiting
was hard, because the draft was
going to end in half an hour. I
was scared I wouldn't get picked
on the first day," Searels said.
Searels said he was pleased
and excited to be selected by the
Chargers.
However, the moving vans will
have a long trip ahead of them.
Searels is from Trion, Ga., far
away from the West Coast world.
"I think the move will be fine.
From what I hear, the people are
friendly and the weather is
almost perfect. I think it's going
to be something I'm really going
to enjoy," Searels said.

'Bama douses Auburn
By Michael Dougherty
Staff Writer
It rained on the baseball team
this past weekend — in more
ways than one.
After Saturday's game was
postponed due to the weather,
Auburn dropped a Sunday double-header
to Alabama in Tusca­loosa.
-•.. '"i" •"".• •--
The two losses bring Auburn's
record to 33-11 overall and 12-6 in
the conference, placing them
fifth in the SEC standings. With
only two league series left,
Auburn's chances of a title look
slim.
"Officially, we are mathemati­cally
still in the race," said Coach
Hal Baird. "We need to sweep
both Tennessee and LSU and
then get some help from some
other teams. But for all intents
and purposes we are out."
In the opening game, David
Matsumura's infield ground-out
in the first scored Phillip Doyle to
give the Tide a 1-0 lead. Alabama
picked up where it left off in the
second inning as Pat Monti took
a David Adams (8-2) pitch deep
for a three-run homer.
Auburn calmed the Tide for the
next two innings, but then Ala­bama
erupted for eight runs in
the final two innings.
"**'' In a game "which sent nine-
Auburn batsmen back, to the
bench with strikeouts, the Tigers
rallied for two runs in the top of
the seventh. Tommy Youngblood
and Derek Crownover both
singled and scored before the
Tigers ran out of hits, loosing
12-2.
The second game went much
like the first. Greg Olson, primar­ily
used as a reliever, started the
game in place of Stacy Jones
who had hurt his hip earlier in
the week. After loading the bases
in the bottom of the first, catcher
Tim Butt touched off a grand
slam for a 4-0 Alabama lead.
Auburn's Scott Renner came in
for relief in the second inning but
allowed three more runs before
settling down to retire theTide in
the next four innings.
Auburn went to work in: their
half of the third. Ed Dilks led off.
with a walk, followed by a Crowv
nover single. After two consecu;~
tive walks and one run acrossr;
Frank Thomas delivered a two-run
single.
With the score 7-4 in favor of
the Tide, the Tigers fought back
in the seventh. Steve Burroughs
and Thomas led off with singles
and would later score before Jeff
Livesey hit into the game-ending
double play.
"We lost two to Alabama this
weekend, due to a combination of
things," Baird said. "But the bot­tom
line is that we simply didn't
play well, especially considering
that a championship weekend
was on the line."

Hitchcock hosts 12 top golf teams
Special to The Plainsman
i
This weekend, Auburn will
hold its first collegiate golf tour­nament
in more than 10 years.
The Billy Hitchcock Intercolle­giate,
named for a former Auburn
football and baseball player who
went on to a career in profes­sional
baseball, features 12 of the
South's top teams competing at
Saugahatchee Country Club.
Saugahatchee is a par 72,6,552
yard layout and is ranked as one
of the five best courses in the
state.
When the first golfer tees off at
8 a.m., it will mark the end of one
long journey and the beginning
of another for men's golf coach
Mike Griffin.
"This tournament means a
great deal to Auburn and our golf
program," Griffin said. "Hosting
your own collegiate tournament
is like sponsoring your own bowl
game or basketball tournament.
It brings notoriety to the school."
The key to building a tourna­ment
that will continue to be a
success, Griffin said, is starting
big in a small way. While many of
the tournaments the Tigers com­pete
in throughout the season
have anywhere from 15 to 20
teams, the inaugural field for the
Hitchcock is small, but not short
on talent.
Two of the 12 teams, Georgia
and Houston Baptist, occupy
sports in the latest Coaches' Top 20
Georgia, ranked eighth, received
a blow early in the spring when
Tommy Tolles, the squad's top
player, was declared academi­cally
ineligible. But the Bulldogs,
behind junior Matt Peterson's
two medalist honors, won their
first tournament of the year and
remain the top team in District 3 -
South.
Houston Baptist, ranked 14th,
earned its spot in theTop 20 com­peting
against teams from the
tough Southwest districts. The
Huskies competed against four
Hitchcock teams early in the fall
at the LSU Invitational, losing to
Ole Miss and Memphis State and
defeating Auburn and Florida.
"We have two fine teams in
Georgia and Houston Baptist,"
Griffin said. "But with the other
teams out there also, it could be
anybody's tournament."

Concerns focus on filling gridiron gaps

Weygand goes for bomb in practice
By Michelle Garland
Staff Writer
It will take more than a
hammer and some hails to
rebuild some of the key postions
on the football team.
Following a shaky first scrim­mage
in April, long and hot,
spring-training workouts, the
Tigers have already improved in
their last two scrimmages and
begun to come together as a team.
"Spring practice is a time to
plant some seeds," Dye said.
"We'll water them, nourish them
and watch them grow during the
summer and into November.
"By the time we get to Amen
Corner (Florida, Georgia and
Alabama) in the fall, we hope
they will be strong and sturdy.
Then, when January comes, we
hope we can enjoy the harvest."
According to Dye, one of their
biggest concerns is the loss of
seven great defensive players in
Aundray Bruce, Kurt Crain,
Robert Goff, Kevin Porter,
Edward Phillips, Nate Hill and
Alvin Briggs.
What was considered by many
opposing teams to be an unstop­pable
defense last year seems to
require a lot of attention this
season.
"Craig Ogletree has proven to
be a consistent and solid player,"
Dye said, "but we need someone
to come along and give us a big
play now and then from the out­side
linebacker position."
Quentin Riggins will be sup­porting
one of the inside line­backer
positions and according
to Dye, the other inside line­backer
will either Steve Brown,
Wayne Bylsma, Judge McClarty,
Smokey Hodge or maybe a
freshman.
"The development of our inside
linebackers is definitely my big­gest
concern because they are
involved in every play, run or
pass," Dye said.
According to Dye, the defen­sive
front will be strong with the
return of Tracy Rocker, Ron Stall-worth
and Benji Roland.
"How good we will be will be
determined by how well David
Rocker, John Wilson, Fernando
Horn and the young guys who
haven't played any develop," he
said.
Fresh. Free-wheeling. Full of fun.

Another critical area for the
Tigers will be the secondary,
"You can get beat quicker there
than anywhere else on the foot­ball
team," Dye said.
There will be no experienced
players returning at the corner-time
as the starting quarterback
with back-up depth from sopho­more
Frank Mcintosh and red-shirt
freshmen Scott Gurosky
and Matt Vogler.

back position, but Dye said he
feels good about the safeties.
"John Wiley, Eric Ramsey and
Dominko Anderson will get work
on the corner," Dye said. "Perry
Reed will get work also if his
grades improve."
Offensively, Dye said he plans
to experiment some, but it basi­cally
will stay the same.
"We want to be able to run the
football better," Dye said. "If we
could run the ball for 200 yards
and pass for 200 yards a game we
would be happy."
Junior Reggie Slack will see
this spring because of injuries,
but is expected to be ready to play
in the fall.
Junior tailback James Joseph
is back in action after sitting out
six months with a knee injury
and sophomore Harry Mose,
another injured tailback, is wait­ing
for a cracked vertebrae in his
neck to heal before returning to
the field.
Other tailbacks seeing playing
time this spring are Sean Smith,
Brian Brown and Alex Strong.
"I don't have a feel for where we
are going to be in the fall as far as
the running game goes," Dye
said, "but I know that we arenzt
very good right now."
On the offensive line there are
several question marks.

line will require some changes'

'Bo Peep' working to become leader in fall
By Craig Lyle
Staff Writer
It was during the Tennessee
game, the third football game of
the season, that Auburn's back-field
received a critical blow.
Tailback James Joseph, a 6-
foot-2 and a half, 212-pound
sophomore, took a hit from the
free 'safety that fractured his
kneecap. He was out for the
season.
After getting a medical red-shirt,
though, Joseph still has
three years of eligibility left. He
has since been spending his time
working on his upper body
strength which he says will make
him a more physical player.
Joseph did not join spring
drills until two weeks ago and is
still not at full speed.
Joseph said his knee has not
been giving him any serious
trouble, but the layoff has left the
knee slightly stiff.
"I just jog in place when I'm on
the sidelines," Joseph said.
Joseph never had surgery on
the knee because of an abrasion
there. By the time the abrasion
healed, the kneecap was already
mending.
'You've got to be prepared to go out
there and give up your body 100
percent.'
—James Joseph
"I was glad to be red-shirted,"
Joseph said. "I had an extra year
to get in shape and mature."
•Since Joseph and Stacey Dan-ley
are coming off of injuries, Bud
Casey, the running back coach,
said they are working more on
the mental aspects of the game.
"Coach Casey has allowed me
to only work as hard as I can until
my knee gets stronger," Joseph
said. "I'll be ready for the (A-Day)
game, though.
"1 want to look good for the
coaches and fans. I'll play as
hard as I can. I'll be at full speed
by the first game in the fall."
He said he considers the first
game of the year as important as
the Alabama game.
"The first game shows where
you are and where you need to
be," Joseph said.
"Since I'm the one (running
back) with the most experience
on the field, I feel that I shoud
provide the leadership."
Once his knee gets accustomed
to the strenuous running required
to play, Joseph said it shouldn't
cause any further problems.
"But I don't think about it," he
said. "If I worry about it, I won't
perform...I won't play.
"You've got to be prepared to go
out there and give up your body
100 percent. During the game,
you have to learn to play with
pain. I'm working harder on
being a leader. I do that by push­ing
myself and showing the other
guys.
Lack of speed is what Joseph
considers his main weakness. He
hopes to improve last year's time
of 4.6 in the 40-yard dash, but he
said his most important goal is to
become more effective on the
field.
"Ihave always been willing to
work hard," he said, "but playing
at Auburn has shown me what
hard work will do.
"You can't go out there every
day enthused, so that's when you
learn to work..." to do it when you
don't want to."
Despite all of his hard work,
Joseph is not dull. He says fish­ing
helps him relax.
"But I love to play basketball
and to go dancing."
Asked what his favorite thing
to do was, Joseph replied, "I enjoy
winning a lot."
Don't play with guns,
read the Plainsman.

Florida shining on eager recruiting
Tigers' freshman class of '88
ranks among best in conference
By Geoff LoCicero
Staff Writer
Sonny Smith has turned his
recruiting eye south, towards the
Sunshine State.
Auburn finished next season's
basketball recruiting April 20
whennt signed its only-in-state
prospect, Ronnie Battle from
Chavala High in Seale.
But earlier, the Tigers dipped
down into Florida, landing four
prep players in the fall and
adding two junior college players
this month to go with Battle.
Auburn also has Florida
freshmen Matt Geiger, John
Walker and Dustin Hester on.its
roster.
The 6-foot-2 Battle averaged
24.2 points, seven rebounds and
