Zoning
prohibits
students
By David Sharp
News Editor
University students trying to
find housing in some parts of the
city could find they are ineligible
because of zoning ordinances
passed in 1984, which in effect
restrict students from certain
neighborhoods.
The ordinance limits some
subdivisions to families defined
as related by blood, marriage or
adoption, and the families can
have only one non-family
member living in the house, City
Director of Planning and Codes
Enforcement Clyde Prather said.
This rule keeps students,
except those who are related, out
of areas in the eastern part of the
city and North College Street in
the Cary Woods subdivision,
Prather said.
The ordinance was designed to
protect certain neighborhoods
and "maintain the character (of
the neighborhoods) that is
already there," Prather said. This
insures that the family make-up
of neighborhoods won't be dras­tically
different, he said.
These stable neighborhoods
are zoned as "neighborhood con­servation,"
he said.
The present ordinance is more
flexible than the previous ordi­nance
which allowed no unre­lated
persons to live in certain
neighborhoods, Prather said.
"A much greater percentage of
the city is open to students than
with the previous ordinance,"
Prather said.
The older ordinance restricted
students from about 80 percent of
the city, he said; the newer ordi­nance
restricts students from
about 30 or 40 percent of the/nty.
"I think it's a reasonable com­promise,"
he said. In hardship
cases, the city Planning Com­mission
can make exceptions to
the rule, he said.
Although all cities have res­trictive
ordinances in residential
areas, Prather said, "what we
have (in Auburn) is probably not

Noble Hall is making history
as the first dorm on campus to
house men and women under the
same roof.
The move was prompted by the
closing of Magnolia Dorm which
caused a shortage of men's hous­ing
on campus, Kim Trupp
assistant director of housing,
said.
Trupp is hesitant to call Noble
co-ed because the two wings are
separated by a lobby and visita­tion
rules apply to residents just
as with any other dorm on cam­pus,
she said.
"It's really not a co-ed hall."
Trupp said. She added that it's
more like Noble 1 and Noble 2.
Residents and guests must sign
in at the front desk and be issued
a pass to visit the dorm's halls,
Trupp said.
"We're planning on this indefi­nitely,"
she said. "We've had
nothing but positive feedback."
The change from an all
women's dorm, which took effect
this quarter,, was under consider­ation
for about a year, Trupp
said.
, Except for visiting hours, last­ing
from 10 a.m. until 2 a.m. dur­ing
weekends, and noon until
midnight on weekdays, the halls
are secured by combination
locks, Trupp said.
Resident John Nelson, 01 PB,
said, "It's a great way to meet
girls."
Amy Morrell, 01 PB, said that
as a freshman you meet some
people in classes, but it's different
in the dorm because it's more
relaxed. Residents meet in the
common lobby to watch rented
movies or in the basement desig­nated
as a common study area,
she said.
Many meet on the second floor
of the men's wing because men
are more relaxed about that sort
of thing, Morrell said.
She said she found the addition
of men living in Noble a pleasant
surprise, and learned Noble had
changed about a week before she
moved in.
She had planned to move to
another residence in the fall, she
said, but has since decided to stay
in Noble.
Except for CDV student
apartments, Noble Dorm is
Aubuin's.ftrat.-HaaftkiMmj,-female
resident hall. Angela Davidson,
01 PPY, described the co-ed
atmosphere as being "like one big
happy family."

Extension
specialists
without
tenure
By Susan Osborn
Staff Writer
A committee recommendation
to be discussed by the University
senate in an open forum on July
14 could allow University exten­sion
specialists to have rank and
tenure for the first time.
Extension s p e c i a l i s t s are
employed by the University to
give specialized information to
counties, but they do" not receive
rank and tenure like Auburn
faculty, according to Extension
Specialist President Romaine
Crockett.
The Board of Trustees ap­proved
the Academic Recons tructur-ing
Service specialists to be placed in
academic departments and given
title, rank and tenure status.
Since then, the extension spe­cialists
have been integrated into
faculty departments, but they
still do not receive rank and
tenure.
In April 1986, a senate commit­tee
was appointed to come up
with a process and criteria for
assigning the initial tenure and
rank to the specialists.
Dr. Sam Fowler, a community
development specialist with
Cooperative Extension and
chairman of the ad hoc commit­tee,
said that 60 specialists have
already been placed into depart­ments.
These specialists have a
length of service from three to 30
years, he said.
In the review process, the spe­cialists
would present their files
to a committee consisting of
extension specialists and Auburn
faculty members. The file then \
goes to the University Tenure
and Promotion Committee, .
Fowler said.
"Our report is designed to be
used one time, and it is only for
those who have merged with the
academic departments. Eighteen

Dogs kill three deer in research pens
cost University $36,000, two years
By Laura C. Barnwell
Assistant News Editor
Two dogs attacked deer, being
used for research, in their pens on
June 19, costing the University
$36,000 and two years of work.
Three deer were killed, 12 were
injured and one deer is missing
and presumed dead, according to
John F. Pritchett, head of the
Zoology/Wildlife Department.
There were approximately 24 full-grown,
tamed deer in the pens in
north Auburn at the time of the
attack, he said.
The owner of the dogs, C.T.
Golden, of Farmville, was.
arrested on June 24 and charged
with "permitting dogs to run at
large." He was released after
posting a $500 bond, said Capt.
Jay Jones, of the Lee County
Sheriffs office.
The dogs were captured in the
deer's pen and are now impound­ed.
Two of the dead deer were
mauled, the third had broken its
neck attempting to flee the dogs.
Other injuries included broken
bones and antlers and severe
cuts.
The deer were used in research
involving reproduction and
nutrition studies by Professor M.
Keith Causey, Zoology /Wildlife. -
The injured deer can not be used
for data in the rescr <*h project
now, said Pritchett.
"Now (we) must backtrack"
because the data will not be
scientific without a certain
number of deer, Pritchett said.
. "There is no way to put a price
tag on time... Some professors
literally put two years of their
lives into this," Pritchett said.
The research was supported by
the University and the Depart­ment
of Conservation and Natu­ral
Resources. It was "considered
i m p o r t a n t research," said
Pritchett.
This is the first time dogs have
broken into the pens. However, it
is the third time since 1978 that
deers have been killed or injured
in their pens.
Pritchett said, there are no
plans to move the pens, but
"additional security will be added
around the area."
What's inside...
The NCAA passed a proposal Tuesday
that limits the playing and practice seasons
to 26 weeks. This has some coaches in an
uproar. See page 13.
Don't forget there will not be any classes
Monday, July 6 because of the July 4
holiday.

Surprise!
* Grinning retiree roasted
"By David Sharp
iNews Editor
i **.'.
.'••Dr. Harry E. Frank, who
••'helped develop Auburn's adult
education program, was honored
'-Wednesday afternoon with "a
Surprise luncheon and "roast" for
'his 19 years of service to the state
land University.
;•• Frank was unaware that his
family was taking him to a lun­cheon
in his honor until he
"arrived at Foy Union where he
•was greeted by approximately 60
'Alabama and Georgia educators,
including 17 former students.
-• "Harry," as his friends called
him, grinned at the head table
while friends proceeded to"roast'
Jaim, but the jokes led to words of
-praise and admiration.
. ;He retired from Auburn June
4$, after a distinguished career in
..the field of continuing adult edu­cation
which began after his gra­duation
from the University of
Oklahoma in 1951.
The Oklahoma native received
his doctorate from Florida State
before coming to Auburn in 1968.
He also served at Oklahoma
State and West Georgia State
universities before coming to
Auburn.
Dr. Robert Montgomery, a
retired professor from Auburn's
School of Education, said, "Adult
education is so different from
higher education. It takes a spe­cial
kind of person to be able to do
it," he said.
"Harry taught that you can't
teach adults like you teach 6 year
olds," according to Norman O.
Parker, a retired member of the
Alabama Department of Educa­tion.
Most adult education programs
in Alabama have folded in the
past, Parker said. But Frank has
kept the one at Auburn rolling.
"The Auburn program will sur­vive
because of the foundation
you laid," he told Frank.
Dr. Boyd Scebra, the associate
dean of Auburn's School of Edu­cation,
said Frank had a "great
impact on the students and his
professional collegues" and was
"always grateful to serve his
students."
"I'm proud of all the students
who returned to honor him," said,
Dr. Ray Handy, a professor at
Tuskegee University.
"Its about time" Frank received
praise, Handy said. "Honor them
while they're still living," he said.
To often, people wait until it is to
late to give a word of apprecia­tion,
he said.
Planning for yesterday's lun­cheon
and roast began a month
ago.
Dr. Bobbie L. Walden, state
coordinator of the Community
Education Program, and Dr.
Yvonne B. Hargerove, an adult
basic education specialist of the
State Department of Education,
coordinated the event with help
from a steering committee of
eight state educators.

The new I.D. cards used by the
Chefs Club may have had some
minor problems, but you can
expect these to smooth out soon,
said University Director of Food
Services Art C. Call.
"There are some bugs that need
working out, but that is why we
started summer quarter because
of smaller enrollment. I expect
things to be as smooth as ever by
fall," Call said.
The most frequent problem
occurs every year at this time
because students have not paid
their yearly fee for Chefs Club
membership, Call said. "A lot of.
students don't realize that our
fiscal year begins with summer
q u a r t e r and runs through
spring," he said.
The fees are $6 per quarter and
are paid on a yearly basis, and
students who withdraw receive a
refund for quarters not used, he
said.
The remaining problems stem
from cards improperly encoded,
Call said. He said the magnetic
strip on the back of the cards is
encoded just as the old Chefs
Club cards were.
If the strip comes in contact
with a magnet, it can be erased,
he said.
"Any time you introduce a new
system there will be minor prob­lems
at first," Call said, "but I
hope they will be corrected
quickly."
The Chefs Club will use its
present computer, and it will be
linked to the University's main
system which is used to verify the
enrollment, Call said.
The only new expense for the
Chefs Club was expanding its
present system, which Call said
was needed anyway.
Call said it is his understand­ing
that the administration is
paying for the new system with
student I.D. funding, and he said
he assumes his department will
be billed only for its enhance­ment
cost.
The library, athletic depart­ment
and vet school all needed
new systems, Call said. By
investing in one centralized sys­tem,
Call said Auburn will save
money in the long run.

Future students
take campus tours
By Kimberly Bradley
Assistant News Editor
Last Monday it may have been
easy to spot the 350 future
Auburn students as they walked
about campus with their parents,
orange notebooks, maps and pam­phlets.
However, after going through
the day-and-a-half long orienta­tion
session, they'll "become
familiar with the University,"
said Karen Lutrell, assistant
director of admissions, and then
blend in with the rest when they
come back in the fall.
Monday's session was the
second of eight, and Lutrell said
she expects a total of 2,500 pros­pective
students to attend them.
Most of the prospects are definely
coming to Auburn, she said, but
some may be using the two days
to decide.
Sara Miller, 18, of Atlanta, said
that she attended the session to
decide between several colleges,
but that she is now definitely
coming to Auburn.
The students check into the
dormitory on Monday morning
and then attend a general
assembly in Foy Union Ball­room.
The speakers include Dr. Pat H.
Barnes, vice-president of student
affairs; Dr. Warren W. Brandt,
vice-president of academic
affairs; Dr. Charles Reeder, direc­tor
of admissions; and represen­tatives
from the president's and
the registrar's office.
The 30 student orientation
leaders guide the students and
their parents around campus and
talk to them about everything
from getting involved and filling
out schedules to buying football
tickets, said Lutrell.
Other activities include band
and choral auditions, picture's for
ID cards, a minority stuflent
meeting and a student related
activities meeting.
65 mph debate not over;
By Rhonda Goode
Staff Writer
If the speed limit on rural inter-states
was raised to 65 mph and
was rigidly enforced, it could
actually lessen the danger of hav­ing
an accident, said David
Brown of the computer science
engineering department.
However, a poorly-enforced 65
mph speed limit would increase
the risk of having an accident, he
said, and fuel consumption would
also likely increase.
The 65 mph speed limit bill,
which has passed in the state
House of Representatives, is on
the Senate agenda, according to a
Montgomery official. But the
Senate probably will not discuss
the bill until it passes the state
budget, he said.
The danger of traveling on the
interstate increases when people
driving 75 to 80 mph get stuck
behind people traveling 55 mph,
Brown said. The difference in
speeds creates a cluster of cars,
which increases the chance of an
accident, he said.
"If everyone traveled at the
same speed, obviously the risk of
an accident occuring would be
greatly decreased," he said.
"A strictly-enforced 65 mph
speed limit would get people tra­veling
at speeds more similar to
each other and would spread out
the distance between cars on the
interstate," he said.
However, if a car did have a
collision, the chances of pas­sengers
living through the acci­dent
would be doubled if the car
were traveling 55 mph instead of
65 mph, Brown said.
An increase in the speed limit
probably would not increase the
volume of traffic traveling on
rural interstates in Alabama,
said Max Strickland of the
Bureau of State Planning in the
state Highway Department.
Brown said he disagrees,
though. If the speed limit were
increased to 65 mph, people
would be more likely to take the
interstate instead of traveling on.
smaller roads, Brown said.
Smaller state roads are less
safe than interstates because
most were not constructed with
the safety standards required for
interstates, such as shoulders
and smoother curves, he said.
If the bill were passed in Ala­bama,
no reconstruction of roads
would be necessary for motorist
safety, since interstate highways
are designed for a minimum
speed of 70 mph, said Dr. Robert
Vecellio of Civil Engineering. 0
Vecellio said he believes people
would follow the new speed limit,
since many people now drive at
65 mph anyway. He said "a lot of
people are comfortable traveling
at 65 now."
Enforcement of a 65 mph speed
limit would probably not be any
different from the way the 55
mph speed limit is presently
enforced, said Sgt. Jerry Ogle-tree,
a state trooper in Opelika.
More officers on patrol would
be necessary, however, for
increased enforcement of the new
speed limit, Ogletree said. "We
are short-handed now. There is a
direct proportion of the numbers
of officers patrolling to the
. number of violators they stop,"'
he said.
Fate of
fireworks
unclear
By Tammy Trout
Assistant Copy Editor
The only snap, crackle and pop
in Alabama homes for future
July 4 celebrations will come
from breakfast cereal if a bill
banning fireworks is approved
by the state Legislature.
The bill would outlaw the sale
of class C fireworks, which
include Roman candles, fire­crackers,
sparklers, bottle rockets
and other common fireworks.
Sponsored by state Rep. Steve
Hettinger, the bill would not
affect large pyrotechnic displays
conducted by licensed operators.
It is now a misdemeanor to sell
the products to anyone under 16
years of age or any intoxicated
person, according to current Ala­bama
law. It is also unlawful to
sell, give away or discharge fire­works
of any kind within Auburn
city limits, according to the
Office of Planning and Code
Enforcement.
Those wishing to sell or dis­charge
fireworks in Alabama
must be certified by the state fire
marshall's office. They must also
be bonded to obtain local permits.
Another bill before the Legisla­ture,
sponsored by Rep. Tommy
Carter and Sen. Donald Holmes,
would increase the license and
permit fees and give the fire mar­shall's
office more enforcement
authority. } a
The office would receive a por­tion
of the additional revenue to
enable more officials to provide
more effective protection, said*
Roy Thornell, state fire marshall.
"We can't keep our heads above
water under the existing law,"
Thornell said. He said that the
bill would place "the cost of
enforcement onto the fireworks."
Montgomery attorney Hamil­ton
Wilson Jr. is working for
American Importers, a fireworks
distributor in Florence. His clien­tele
supports the Carter-Holmes
bill. "Our bill would give the mar-shall's
office more authority,"
Wilson said.
He said legislation now on the
books is good if it is properly
enforced. They hope to streng­then
existing laws, discourage
the illegal sale of fireworks and
ban the mail-order sale of fire­works,
Wilson said.
Wilson said that if the proposed
ban is put into effect, "hundreds

Letters lead to July 4 visit
By Stephanie Thompson
Staff Writer
They will meet for the first time
July 4th weekend when he visits
her family's Tennessee home dur­ing
a leave from training in Penn­sylvania.
It all began when Tara Mar­tin's
<Wm mother, Naomi Knox
(Dorm H), received a pamphlet
from a non-profit organization
called "Military Mail Call."
Based in Norfolk, Va., the pro­gram
works to get volunteers to
send Christmas cards to ser­vicemen
who cannot be home
during the holidays.
Knox discussed the idea with
Martin, the social chairman of
the dorm council and her rom-mate
Cathy Hartsell, 03 CEE,
dorm vice president. They pro­posed
it to the rest of the council,
who decided to particpate.
About 10 girls wrote letters and
they all got at least one reply.
"I didn't expect anything back;
it was like getting a pen pal," said
Martin. Those first letters were
mailed over the Thanksgiving
holidays, and Martin and Hart-sell
are still mailing letters to ser­vicemen
today.
Martin corresponds with 23-
year-old Kevin on the U.S.S.
Nimitz, 21-year-old Woody in the
Marine Security Guard in Tuni­sia,
Africa, and 22-year-old
Michael — the one in the Coast
Guard in L.A.
Explaining that they were all
different, Martin described
Woody as the most serious of the
three. He said sometimes he is not
sure whether he'll be coming
home in a body bag or on a ship.
Depressed and lonely at times,
Woody appreciates Martin's cor­respondence.
In one letter, he
wrote: "It's good to know that
some Americans are thinking of
the servicemen overseas."
Kevin sends post cards from
wherever the Nimitz makes a
port call. Martin has cards from
Spain, Egypt, Italy and France,
to name a few. Although not as
serious as Michael, Kevin has
uttered the phrase, "Let's get
married."
Dropping hints now and then,
Michael will say "I'm looking for
a wife out there — are there any
takers?" and "You're the kind of
girl I'd like to marry."
In addition to writing, Michael
calls about once a week from
L.A., referring to himself as "the
crazy guy from California." Mar­tin
said he is funny to talk to. She
is flattered by his "proposals,"
and although not as serious as
he, considers him a good friend.
Hartsell corresponds with 20-
year-old Tim who is now in Vir­ginia
waiting for his seven-month
cruise on the U.S.S. Coral
Sea. this September in the
Mediterranean.
'Describing Tim's first reply as
"exciting and surprising," Hart­sell
explained that through addi­tional
correspondence she came
to find they have a lot in common.
Hartsell is waiting for a picture
of Tim and hopes to meet him
someday. She said she has come
to realize the everyday life of a
serviceman is not quite as glam­orous
as the "Top Gun" image.
Martin said she is now more
aware of how lonely these men
get sometimes and knows more
about the things they give up in
order to serve.

Unsafe law
//w/rt should leave abortions alone
Gov. Guy Hunt has approved a
bill stating that minors cannot get
an abortion without parental con­sent.
Knowing that abortions, legal
and illegal, are performed through­out
the state, how can Hunt approve
this bill?
Back-alley abortions will become
the last resort for teen-age girls too
terrified to face parents with the fact
they are pregnant and want an
abortion.
The Plainsman is not saying
abortion is right or wrong, nor will
We say that a teen-age pregnancy
should be terminated by abortion,
but this type of restriction may
result in further damage rather than
provide the desired solution.
lEnacting this law will not stop
teen-age pregnancy. It may increase
the number of illegal abortions and,
in turn, increase the number of
deaths that can result when they are
performed by unqualified individu­als.
This action has been justified by
state Sen. Chip Bailey who des­cribed
it as "one of the most impor­tant
bills to come before the Legisla­ture,"
and said that it "will help to
Drive 65
strengthen the family unit in
Alabama."
Passing this bill and requiring
teen-agers to confront parents to get
a legal abortion is not going to actu­ally
make these girls confront their
parents. It will, however, make the
relative safety of qualified facilities
off limits to them. If these teen-agers
were mature enough to face their
parents, they would .probably have
asked for birth control at the start.
Why do officials belieyefchis bill will
encourage youth to confront parents
when the knowledge^ of an unex­pected
pregnacy is so much more
traumatic?
If a girl does not want to confront
her parents for consent for an abor­tion,
she won't. She'll "get an abor­tion
elsewhere. If she can't go to
another state, she'll get an illegal
and possibly dangerous abortion in
Alabama.
Passing this law did not solve the
problem of teen-age pregnancy. It
introduced the new problem of
potentially dangerous abortions
conducted outside the sanitary con­ditions
of a doctor's office.
. . - .>
New speed limit safer
The proposed 65 mph speed limit
now facing the Legislature is viewed
by many as an encouragement for
speeding at even higher levels. This
is a misconception.
People drive at levels they feel
able to handle — not at whatever
speed happens to exceed the pres­cribed
limit. For many drivers, 65
mph has become a comfortable
speed, thus raising the limit may
create a more uniform flow of traffic"
and prevent accidents caused when
several drivers attempt to pass a
vehicle traveling at 55 mph.
Many states have already imple­mented
the new limit and, as yet
there have been no reports of dra­matic
increases in speed by motor­ists.
There is, however, an increase
in the enforcement of the limit, and
little or no leeway for violators.

Mean be yours for $17,000,000.29
If you think Auburn has great bars
and great night life, you haven't lived
yet. You shouldn't go through college
without experiencing Good 01' Days.
Please follow this simple remedy for
college boredom — I've taken this medi­cation
many times. In fact, I took a dose
last weekend, and I'm taking a dose this
weekend.
Fill your car with gas, grab all your
friends and...
Get on Interstate 85 and go north.
After about an hour and 30 minutes,
take 285 (commonly known as the
Perimeter) and go north. Get off at the
Roswell Road, Sandy Springs exit
(you're in Georgia now and have been
for about an hour and 30 minutes). Turn
left, going across the Perimeter. About
100 yards on your right will be the best
bar — college bar — I know.
You'll be able to hear the singer from
the street. There won't be a band like the
ones that come to Auburn. There will be
one guy, maybe two, singing old Bruce
Springsteen, Bread, James Taylor and
the like.
You can't miss it. It's the place that
looks like a big outside party. You see;
it's half inside and half outside, like a
patio. There's even a vollyball net on a
netted sand area.
It's called Good 01' Days, and I wish
someone would build one here.
"Acapulco 1,537 miles, Paris 5,114
miles, Good 01' Days 57 feet." Well, it's
only accurate when you're looking at the
sign from Good OF Days' parking lot.
OK, so you've arrived at Good 01'
Days. Go park your car. You could park
in any one of the spaces marked
"Reserved for short people," "Reserved
for tall people," "Reserved for no one in
particular," "All vehicles parked here
will be shredded and served with the
salad," "$78,000 for the first hour" or
"This space brought to you by the letters
R, S, T, L, E and the number 5."
There's no cover charge, so go on in.
You don't actually walk through the
doors because the entrance is outside.
So, you walk on to the patio and straight
ahead is the band. To your left, right and
front are people. Lots of people.
The patio is surrounded by an iron
fence. I guess to keep the customers from
taking the 20-foot step into the street.
Across the patio, on the side nearest the
street, is a frozen drink bar and an oyster
bar.
But, pitchers of draft beer are still the
largest sellers. I was told by one of the
bartenders that Good 01' Days has a
larger beer account than the Omni or
Fulton County Stadium.
On the Good 01 Days menu, you can
order "The Whole Works" for
$17,000,000.29.
Good 01' Days' menu also states they
"are not responsible for any marriages
that take place" as a result of sharing a
plate of their famous nachos. However,
their menu states that they will provide
the champagne if a couple shares a plate
of nachos in their wedding attire.
I've never seen it happen.
I have seen a singing telegram deliv­ered
to Good 01' Days, though. It wasn't
an ordinary singing telegram. This guy
stripped to a G-string. And he was out­side
in the patio area where everyone,
even people driving by in their cars,
could see.
Even though most of the fun is out­side,
don't forget that there is an inside
— it's where the bathrooms are.
When you take your dose of fun and
finally go to Good 01' Days, watch out
for the Beer Crossing and the famous
Good 01' Days rock.

Auburn fumbles in decision making
Something tragic has happened on
the Plains, but students will, in all like­lihood,
be happy to see the whole affair
end.
The Auburn Eleven situation has been
taken care of, or has it?
With the Auburn Eleven being repri­manded
and the Open Air Forum hours
being extended by a half hour, the situa­tion
is far from settled.
At this point it is not a question of who
was right and who was wrong. Both
sides acted poorly.
It is not even as much a question of
constitutionality anymore. This is a
university, and although it is subject to
the Constitution, special rules and regu­lations
need to be established to main­tain
order.
The big question is Will this sink our
University into new depths of apathy?
The students who camped out had a
good cause. Or, at least I vaguely
Stephanie
WARNECKE
remember that, at the time, I thought it
was a good cause. It's been so long and
so much has happened, the cause seems
a moot question.
What I am afraid is going to happen is
that this will be one more strike against
the administration and against stu­dents
who attempt to make a stand
against something they feel is wrong.
We could moan for days about how
unconcerned the administration is with
students' opinions. We could argue
whether the Auburn Eleven followed the
proper procedures in their protest. But
neither of these would get us any farther
than we are right now — back at square
one.
At a traditional, southern, conserva­tive
school }ik£>Auburn, a big protest
and constitutional question were big
news. It was a^ehance for Auburn to
strive forward. _— f
Unfortunately,"Auburn fumbled the
ball. No one handled the situation in
anything close to a mature fashion, and
consequently this entire situation could
happen again next year and the next
year, and the next — until some kind of
solution is found.
But will it happen again? Will stu­dents
make the effort to express an opin­ion
again, or is it just not worth the
trouble?

United States real evil empire?
"Torture, for whatever purpose, is a
calculated assault on human dignity
and for that reason alone is to be con­demned
absolutely. Nothing denies our
common humanity more than the pur­poseful
infliction of unjustified and
unjustifiable pain and humiliation on a
helpless captive."
—Amnesty International
I think I've found a topic we can all
agree upon. I don't think there are any
sane people that would contend that tor­ture
should be a legal means of coercion.
Most people would not want their eyes
punctured with bicycle spokes, and then
have their sockets immersed in acid-soaked
pads.
O beautiful for spacious skies, for
amber waves of grain...
Unfortunately, what most Americans
would contend to be an unbearable dis­grace
is going on every day around the
world. Even more unfortunate is that the
nation supplying the torture training
and technology to the evil empires is
none other than the United States — the
good guys, the protectors of peace, the
fighters for democracy.
Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman
studied U.S. involvement in torture for
six years. Their extensive research
included visits to the countries and
interviews with torturers and those
being tortured. They concluded in their
book, The Political Economy of Human
Rights, "There is considerable evidence
that U.S. military and intelligence ser­vices
have provided training in torture
to Third World police and military, but
Randy
IGLAZER
this is of small consequence given the
established fact of moral support, mas­sive
supply of torture technology, and
the widespread adoption of torture as an
administrative practice by client fascist
states so supplied and protected by the
United States."
It is a fact that countries using torture
in the U.S. sphere of influence out­number
countries practicing torture out­side
the U.S. sphere of influence by a
ratio of nearly 3 to 1.
For purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain...
You may be wondering what possible
interest the United States has in sellling
(or manufacturing, for that matter)
gadgets whose exclusive purpose is to
inflict pain on helpless individuals
(thumb screws, for example). The ration­ale
for such a seemingly repugnant
initiative is money (what else?).
Chomsky and Herman note that since
"a favorable investment climate and
stability quite often require repression,
the United States has supplied the tools
and training for interrogation and tor­ture
and is thoroughly implicated in the
vast expansionyjof torture during the
past decade." - [
The administration contends that if
any torment need be done, it is for the
sake of nationalreecurity. This is simply
not the case-There is no national secur­ity
reason why the United States must
supply Indonesia with 110,000 thumb
screws to use on inhabitants of the tiny
island of East Timor (an island with a
military force royghly equivalent to that
of Gilligan's Island).
Chomsky and* Herman reiterate that
"there would be strong objections to a
constant stream of stories on U.S.-
created orphans, prostitutes, starving
children, destruction of fields and
forests, and the continuing hundreds of
deaths in Indochina from unexploded
ordnance, or on the depredations of U.S.
client states using U.S. arms, as in East
Timor.
"No less hostility would be engendered
by a daily focus on the prisons, tortures,
disappearances and accounts of refu­gees
from Argentina, Brazil and Chile
—these are our clients and our banks
and major multinationals are pleased
with the 'stability' brought by the tor­turers.
'Security' seems a more accepta­ble
basis for supporting gangsters and
torturers than mere money-making, so
the former is always addressed disin­genuously
as our sole source of interest."
America! America! God shed His
grace on thee, And crown thy good
with brotherhood from sea to shin­ing
sea.

Why tuition increases
The recent publicity on default rates
on student loans at some institutions in
Alabama has caused considerable
comment and raised questions about the
elationship between tuition increases
ind student aid.
Newspaper editorials mention differ-
;nt theories concerning student aid's
iffect on tuition. One, is that with large
imounts of aid, or loans available to
:over almost any tuition hike, college
rustees feel free to charge whatever
hey want. On the other hand, reports
ay that other colleges charge what the
ichest are willing to pay and use that
uition money to help pay the way for
ess affluent students.
These questions are legitimate and
hould be addressed. They give me an
pportunity to discuss Auburn Univer-ity's
philosophy on tuition, and why it
las been necessary to raise tuition to
•resent levels.
Despite the steady rising tuitions of
he past two decades (181 percent at
Auburn since 1970 and 216 percent at all
ublic universities) at the vast majority
f American colleges and universities,
uition does not cover all or even most of
n institution's costs. At Auburn Uni-ersity,
for example, tuition was $1,200
his year (for three quarters) and will be
1,323 starting in the fall. This covers
bout one-third of what it costs to edu-ate
a student.
Funding the rest of the budget will
equire, among other things, increases
•om research support, interest income,
ifts from alumni friends, corporations
nd foundations and some funding from
ur endowment. Out-of-state students at
uburn will pay three times the in-state
lition, or $3,969, in 1987-88.
Universities are larger and more com-licated
operations than most people
alize. For example, Auburn has a
800-acre, 115-building campus to oper-te.
It has 19,363 on-campus students
nd 7,782 employees, making it one of
le largest employers in Alabama. Our
ility costs alone are $6,264,000 a year,
nd our 42-member campus security
rce is larger than many police depart-ents
in the state.
Universities have a number of the
same costs as many major corporations.
But an important reason that higher
education is so expensive is that colleges
and universities have special budgetary
needs and problems. While our business
support systems can benefit from many
of the cost-saving measures used in
industry, our core operations — teaching
and research — generally cannot.
It should be noted that Auburn Uni­versity
is a state university and receives
a major portion of its operation income
from the state. The primary reason for
tuition increases at Auburn is inade­quate
funding from the state. The most
recent increase was necesary because of
the 10 percent cut in our budget by the
Legislature for 1986-87, plus 5 percent
proration, and the prospect of near level
funding for 1987-88.
There are other factors which drive
tuition prices rapidly upward. They are
keeping faculty salaries competitive,
catching up on deferred maintenance,
buying laboratory equipment, paying
off bonded indebtness, and absorbing
rapidly escalating insurance premiums.
Although a number of institutions are
devoting a substantial share of tuition
increases to student aid, Auburn is not
in that group. None of our tuition income
is used for student aid.
Auburn's board of trustees has always
been reluctant to increase fees. It has
maintained that a land-grant university
should be within the reach of all those
Alabamians qualified to attend. Our
fees remain low compared with other
institutions in the nation.
On two different occasions, Changing
Times magazine has listed Auburn
among 50 universities nationwide as
combining high academic standards
and low cost. Edward B. Friske, in his
book, The Best Buys in College Educa­tion,
lists Auburn as one of the 200 best
buys in American Higher Education. In
addition, Auburn is listed as one of
America's 15 least expensive colleges in
Competitive Colleges, a publication by
Peterson Guides that focuses on what it
considers the 315 most selective schools.
We present these examples to point out
that our trustees are making every effort
to keep Auburn's costs within the means
of most of our citizens.
College tuition in Alabama has
increased significantly in recent years
but the figures are not arbitrary or
extravagant. They are rooted in the
costs universities face, the environ­ments
in which they are located, and
mission they serve.

"There is no difficulty in showing that
e ideally best form of government is
at in which the sovereignty, or
preme controlling power in the last
sort, is vested In the entire aggregate
the community, every citizen...at least
casionally, called on to take an actual
rt in the government...local or
•neral."
—John Stuart Mill.
Last week, our editor Patti Colegrove
ked us, "What is the most serious prob-m
facing students?" Today, I want to
phrase the same question, and give
my answer. What is the biggest
nger facing this nation? It is not the
iviet Union. It is not the Democratic
irty. It is not Ronald Reagan (though
runs a close second in my mind). It is
»t AIDS, sex or rock music lyrics, and it
definitely not drug use.
In my opinion, the biggest danger fac-g
this nation is democracy as we know
Please note that I didn't say demo-acy.
Democracy is a beautiful form of
ivernment when practiced properly,
ifortunately, in the United States it is
>t practiced properly, and that may
ell prove to be disastrous. The point of
imocracy is the people's involvement
the governing of themselves.
Mill says "every citizen..., at least
casionally, called on to take actual
irt in the government." That means
ing a city councilman, a notary public,
senator or whatever, but being
volved. There are more than enough
isitions available to facilitate this.
But, thinking you've found a way to
easel your way out of civic responsibil-r,
you say, I DON'T HAVE THE TIME
R THE DESIRE. Well, desire has little
do with it. As far as not having the
ne (now we get to the point of this
lumn), all of us have the time to watch
news, read a newspaper and stay
abreast of current events. Why? So we
can make an educated decision when we
exercise our right and duty to vote.
That is the way democracy is intended
to operate. John Dewey said in Demo­cracy
and Educational Administration
"...the task of democracy is forever that
of creation of a freer and more humane
experience in which all share and all
contribute."
And, A.D. Lindsay, in The Essentials
of Democracy, said, "The theory behind
the whole procedure is that we are try­ing...
to find out what the purpose of the
community requires, and that the ordi­nary
member of the community is as
good a judge as anyone else, provided
(and the proviso is...of enormous impor­tance)
that he understands what the
proposals between which he is judging
really amount to."
The majority of Americans fail to con­tribute
or to meet this provision, and
have no inclination to do so. Therein the
danger lies. Of the few citizens who do
vote in every election, most of them don't
know what they are voting on. Hence,
criminals are occasionally elected, inep­titude
abounds, and the magnitude of
the problems the nation faces increases.
The other glaring problem is the
strange habit we Americans have of
ignoring the important elections, the
ones that affect our daily lives—the local
elections. We tend to vote in the elections
in which we have little voice and receive
less benefit, the national ones. Little of
what Congress and the president do
have an effect on us in comparison to
what our city councilmen and mayors
may decide to do. A local body politic
governs the life of the community, mak­ing
decisions on a daily basis which can
help or harm us in more ways than we
realize.
My point, my plea to you, is to take an
interest in some form of politics. It is
not your right to decide not to. It is your
duty to do so. If you decide to ignore this
duty, this commitment, then you have
no right to vote — it is not your place. If
this is the course of action you, as a free
citizen, wish to take, then I beg you, I
implore you, DON'T VOTE!

$1.35 MILLION
Sigma P i ' s house on West Magnolia will be largest on campus
By Angela Mynatt
Staff Writer
Six fraternities are spending
approximately $5.4 million on
renovations and new houses to be
completed within the 1987-88
school year.
These fraternities have relo­cated
to Morrison Road next to
the Beta Theta Pi and Delta Chi
fraternities.
Of the six fraternities building
new houses, three, Alpha
Gamma Rho, Phi Delta Theta
and Pi Kappa Phi, were displaced
from the old fraternity row on
College Street.
The colonial-style Alpha
Gamma Rho house with furnish­ings
will cost $1 million, Bill
Alverson said. "An intensive
fund drive is being organized
statewide to help with the
expense," Alverson said.
Randy Reed, Phi Delta Theta
president, said the Phi Delta are
estimating the completion of
their $980,000 house for fall
quarter.
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity broth­ers
are, "fending for themselves
this summer," said Bo Burks, a
fraternity brother. They were
temporarily housed in the old
Delta Chi house.
They plan to move into the
dorm rooms September 15, and
the commons area will be fin­ished
by December IS. The
$900,000 house is 13,200 square
feet, about the same size as their
previous house. "It is a damn
good investment," fraternity
brother Billy Norell said.
Of the other three fraternities,
Sigma Pi has spent $1.35 million
on what will be the largest house
on campus with 22,000 square
feet, according to Ionian, an
Interfraternity Council publi­cation.
The house is being financed
with alumni contributions. They
are planning to move into the
house in September.
Cleveland Adams, president of
Sigma Pi's Alumni Club, said he
hopes the money spent will make
the house 'last for centuries."
Phi Kappa Tau fraternity
bought the old Sigma Pi house
located at 841 W. Magnolia Ave.
for $433,000 and moved in June
11. "Renovations by the brothers
are scheduled to be finished by
fall quarter," David Wallace, Phi
Kappa Tau president, said.
The Phi Gamma Delta house
was torn down fall quarter and is
being rebuilt on the same lot, 275
S. College St., for convenience to
campus, said brother Jimmy
Thompson.

Victims tell of bulimic life By Susan Osborn
Staff Writer
Editor's note: The names of
bulimic victims have been
changed.
"Jane," an Auburn sophomore,
eats breakfast at 8 a.m. and vom­its
at 8:30 a.m. She eats lunch at
noon and dinner at 5 p.m. Imme­diately
following her meals she
makes a ritual visit to the
bathroom to vomit.
After suffering from anorexia
nervosa her freshman year,
"Jane" began her sophomore
year by eating everything in
sight. To compensate for her
overeating, she began throwing
up her food. Her body, so used to
this type of ritual abuse, makes
"vomiting as natural as eating,"
she said.
She was so obsessed with food
that she stole food from people
who lived in her dorm. The items
she stole were usually pop tarts,
candy and cereal.
Sources say she stole Chefs
Club cards in order to obtain
food. One day she spent a total of
$50 on food. She skipped her
classes and sat in War Eagle
Cafeteria to eat every hour with
different groups of friends. After
every meal she would retreat to
the bathroom to vomit.
"Sally" lost weight sensibly her
sophomore year in high school.
However, after a knee injury and
the inability to exercise, she
became obsessed with her
weight. She attributes her eating
problem to her parents. Because
they had always told her she was
fat, she said this was her way of
getting them back.
By the time she came to
Auburn, she was bulimic.
She became so obsessed with
maintaining her weight,, she
said, "I began throwing up my
food, even if I ate just one
cracker."
These students are known as
bulimics. Bulimia affects app-proximately
13 percent of college
students nationwide, according
to Johnna Flowers, a counselor
with Student Development Ser­vices
in Martin Hall. Auburn is
no exception, but Flowers said
the exact number of bulimic cases
here is unknown.
According to a pamphlet,
"What is Bulimia?," Bulimia is a
disorder consisting of binging
and purging. Binging involves
compulsive behavior such as eat­ing
a refrigerator full of food at
one sitting.
This can last a few minutes or
several hours, it said. It defined
purging as getting rid of the food,
usually done through self-induced
vomiting. It also said
that bulimics use laxatives and
vigorous exercise.
It continued to say that most
bulimics are near normal in
weight, perfectionists, emotion­ally
insecure and lacking in
confidence.
Bulimic development usually
follows a pattern: A diet is started
which leads to hunger and crav­ings
for sweets. Overeating be­gins.
Guilt develops because of
overeating, and purging is disco­vered.
A habit is developed, it
said.
Dr. Arloa I. Eckels, staff physi­cian
at Drake Student Health
Center, said, "Bulimics are afraid
of gaining weight because they
are at a normal weight already.
They tend to be high achievers,
and they usually recognize that
they have the problem."
Bulimics, as opposed to anorex­ics,
look normal. Eckels said that
"dentists can recognize the dis­order
from stomach acid found on
teeth."
"Problems arising from buli­mia
are cavities, gum disease,
infected salivary glands, tears
and broken blood vessels in the
esophagus," Eckels said.
"At its worse stages, an electro­lyte
imbalance can occur, which
results in a lowered potassium
level, thus making muscles weak
and causing the heart to have a
strange rhythm," Eckels said.
"A person has to want help to
Condom ads stir controversy
By David Clark
Staff Writer
"I'd do a lot for love, but I'm not
ready to die for it," said the
brunette in her mid 20's.
Although this woman is only a
character in a television com­mercial
for Trojan condoms, she
may be part of a national
controversy.
Earlier this year the networks
refused to air condom advertise­ments
nationally, but allowed the
affiliates a free decision.
Stations in New York and San
Francisco aired the commercials,
and opposition began.
The opposing argument is that
the advertisement will encourage
immorality, and that sex can
never be completely safe.
Supporters are fighting back
with numbers...
The Center for Disease Control
in Atlanta has predicted that
between 10 and 12 million Ameri­cans
will contract some type of
sexually transmitted disease
(STD) this year.
"The best protection against
infection right now, barring
abstinence, is the use of a con­dom,"
U.S. Surgeon General C.
Everett Koop said in his report on
AIDS.
Dr. Pat Ellis, director of nurs­ing
at Drake Health Center, said,
if someone engages in sexual
intercourse, a monogamous rela­tionship
is as important as a con­dom
or other form of birth
control.
She could not give an estimate,
she said, on the condom's preven­tive
capability. Stressing the per­fect
and consistent use of the
condom, She estimated the con­dom
could prevent the spread of
STDs 97 percent of the time.
"Condoms can reduce the risk,
but not 100 percent," she said.
"The one and only sure way for
100 percent protection is, as with
prenancy, abstinence," she said.
The average male's first sexual
encounter occurs when he is 13
years old, Ellis said. The average
girl's first sexual encounter
occurs when she is 15 years old.
According to a recent poll in
People magazine, 80 percent of
college students have lost their
virginity and 52 percent engage
in sex regularly (at least once a
month).
The supporters for condom
advertisements say t h a t the
commercials will have a positive
effect on these statistics and slow
down the spread of AIDS.
The Center for Disease Control
has estimated that by 1991,
270,000 Americans will have
severe cases, and 10 million will
have the antibody.
"In all probability it (the AIDS
antibody) is on the Auburn cam­pus,"
said Ellis.
Already this year, there have

be helped. Once a bulimic comes
to Drake, if the physical condi­tion
is normal, the patient is
referred to counseling and a die­tician,"
Eckels said.
Flowers said counselors
"assess where the patient is in the
e a t i n g disorder and make
recommendations as to what
kind of treatment is needed."
The patient can be counseled
individually, she said, or in
groups, depending on t he
patient's individual needs.
The process used at Student
Development Services is to first
obtain a background history on
the patient including family,
academic, social and mental
health information and then
compile a psychological profile.
Carol Dilliard, staff dietician
at Drake Student Health Center,
said the bulimic individual be­gins
to see her while being coun­seled
at Martin hall. "Because of
the Privacy Actt they (bulimics)
may come see me, but not tell me
they are bulimic."
Until the patient admits to
having bulimia, he or she is
treated as any other person who
comes to Dilliard to lose weight.
"The first thing I try to do is
gain their trust— then maybe
they will tell me they are
bulimic," Dilliard said.

tudent earns service award
ly Keith Bingham
Kaff Writer
'He reached out with both
lands to his fellow man in self-pssness
and helpfullness," so
sads the inscription on the
ledallion received by Sean
^kers (04 GPG), from Stone
fountain, Ga. and this year's
bcipient of the Algernon Sydney
lullivan Award.
Akers received the award for
|is four years of dedicated service
i Project Uplift's PRO Volunteer
Irogram on May 12. The award
las been given at the University
V 62 years and is presented to
pe student who has best repre-
^nted the ideals of character and
lumanitarian service.
"My biggest memory of this
fard isn't the award itself, but
[hat I've actually done to earn
Akers said. "There are a lot of
sople out there who are just as
eservjng of this award. There
re many people that own a part
it: Tom, (Tom Westmoreland,
jordinator of volunteer services
i Project Uplift), my mother and
|iy fiance', Maria McGinnis," he
lid.
I Akers graduates this sum­mer
and hopes to enter a masters
rogram in psychology.
"It dpesn't take much time to be
lccespful in the PRO Volunteer
rogram," Akers said. "Just a
esire < to make an impact on
jmeohe's life is all it takes."
J There are 127 volunteers, 120 of
|hich;are Auburn students, par-
Icipating in the program which
prves>175 Auburn and Opelika
lildren. The volunteers are
3ked to spend three or four hours
week with the child they are
li red with. Ages of children in
K program range from toddler
16 years old and are referred to
roject Uplift by parents, schools
|nd various social service
jencies.
"These kids simply need a little
iidance," Akers said. "They're
this program because they
eed help."
J He takes the boys he works
|ith, he said, to Chewacla State
irk, ice skating'and bowling,
ley often play basketball, go
Ike riding and watch television
Igether.
]"It's amazing what that small
lount of time can do," Akers
kid. "You can't expect it to
ippen overnight, though. It
takes time to get to know and
trust someone. This is a relation­ship
you are building."
Akers said he is "just an aver­age
guy" t h a t gives "100
percent."
"I try to be a positive male role
model for the boys," he said. He
does this, he said, with everyday
experiences. "I try to instill in
them caring, manners, polite­ness,
respect for others and to be
strong toward their convictions
and beliefs," he said.
To Akers, children are impor­tant
because "they can be shaped
so easily." It takes "a positive
word, some attention, encour­agement
and love," he said. "I try
to give them something they may
not have otherwise received."
"When I first began in the pro­gram,
I said, 'I want to make life a
little brighter for these people
and, in doing this, learn from
these experiences.' I had no idea,
however, that I would be able to
help so much or that I would
learn so much.
"People can rise above their
situations, that is the most
important thing I've learned.
They may not have a lot of extras,
but they rise above it." he said.
One of the children he works
with was struck by a car and lost
one of his legs as a result. "It
would have been easy for him to '
just give up, but he wouldn't,"
Akers said.
The boy has successfully
adjusted and is a success story,
he said. He makes good grades,
can walk and, with Akers' help,
has learned to ride a bike again.
"To see his bravery, it has to
affect you," Akers said. "It gives
you hope."
Geneva Lacy, grandmother of
Monty Bowden, another of the
boys Akers works with, said, "We
appreciate Sean, the whole fam­ily
enjoys him and appreciates all
he has done for Monty."

Teen-agers under 18 will
not be able to have an abor­tion
if they are still in the custody

they have written consent.
The state law goes into effect in

to bypass parental consent
and seek permission from a court
to have an abortion.
A new rape bill awaiting
Gov. Guy Hunt's signature
would allow a woman who is sex­ually

Fowler said.
When a new specialist is hired,
he would then fall under the new

the University which went into
effect Wednesday.
The specialists should have

November 1987, and it is hoped
that a final decision will be made

reviewed once a year based on our

"Our concern is that the admin­istration
wants to evaluate our
entire career. The current faculty
members are only evaluated
since their last promotions," he
said.
The specialists will ultimately
have to be evaluated through the
Tenure and Promotion Commit­tee,
and a specialist has never
served on that committee, Crock­ett
said.
"The University realizes that
they have a problem, and we
have become a part of that prob­lem,"
he said.
"Everyone feels in limbo
because they are in the depart­ments
but not really a part of the
department," Crockett said. "It is
not ideal working conditions."
Chairman of the University
Senate Dennis Rygiel said, "The
rules committee has not taken a
stand and wants to be informed."
Zoning-very
common."
The city's zoning ordinance
was modeled after similar zoning
laws in other small college towns
such as Blacksburg, Va., (Virgi­nia
Tech); Athens, Ga., (Univer­sity
of Georgia); Starkville, Miss.,
(Mississippi State); and Willi­amsburg,
Va., (William and
Mary), Prather said.
"What we have now ... has

said. "We feel it would hold up. It
"As a matter of fact, I would
encourage advertising if it is
informative and factual," she
said.
"If you do not know what con­doms
can do for you, you cannot
make an informed decision," she
said.
Out of the eight area television
stations that accept advertising,
one has shown a public service
announcement about AIDS, and
none advertise condoms.
Max Lail, national sales man­ager
at WCOV (Ch. 20) in Mont­gomery,
said the station has
shown an announcement in
which the "surgeon general dis­cusses
condoms for safety, not
birth control."
In airing the announcement,
WCOV "probably would not
show it before 6 p.m."
The ABC affiliate in Colum­bus,
Ga. said ABC is the first
network to accept public service
announcements on condoms as
related to the tretment of AIDS.
Lisa Hood, national sales
manager for WKAB (Ch. 32) in
Montgomery, said that the
Montgomery market has not yet
been approached.
She said the advertisers expect
to enter the Montgomery market
in "about a year to two years."
There are four stations that
have policies allowing the com­mercials
to be shown on an indi­vidual
basis. They include WLTZ
(Ch. 38) in Columbus, WKAB,
WCOV and WSFA (Ch. 12), all in
Montgomery.
Stations saying they would not
air the commercials if ap­proached
are WRBL (Ch. 3) in
Columbus and WAKA (Ch. 8) in
Montgomery.

The new zoning also has pre­vented
headaches for the Plan­ning
Commission which takes
care of zoning regulations,
Prather said.
The old regulation created
hardships for some families
because non-family members
were excluded, he said. For
example, he said, an elderly per­son
could not have a live-in nurse.
"This created a lot of abuse,"
-continued from page 7
In justifying his station's poli­cies,
Mike Lowe, general sales
manager for WRBL, said, "We
realize the health issue, but still
feel it (the advertising) is in poor
taste."
The other two stations are
undecided on the issue and do not
feel pressured to make a decision.
"Because the market has not
yet been approached, we have not
decided," said Wayne Daughtery,
general manager of WTVM (Ch.
9) in Columbus.
Prather said, because there wac
only "selective enforcement."
Before the new ordinanct
passed, there were about fiv<
complaints a month, and twc
lawsuits were pending agains
the city, Prather said.
"There are no suits now," h<
said, and with the new rules then
are very few complaints eacl

But Prather acknowledges tha
this kind of ordinance is difficul
to enforce. "It's not the kind o:
thing you go out and check dooi
to door," he said. "We know then
are probably a number
violators."
In the old ordinance, people liv
ing in a house could be prosecutec
for violations, and sometimes thi
realtors would knowingly sel
houses zoned for families to stu
dents, Prather said.
However, the 1984 or din an ci
places the burden on the realto:
or the person renting the house t<
inform the occupants of the zon
ing rules, he said. If the realto
does not inform the occupants, hi
will be prosecuted, Prather said.

The Auburn Plainsman
Longhorns
penalties
small price
Time again for a little speech
on those nasty no-nos, the ones
the NCAA frowns upon.
Like receiving money, cars,
jewelry, furniture, clothes,
etc...you get the picture.
A few weeks ago, the NCAA
decided to place the Texas
Longhorns on probation for sev­eral
things it deems wrong for
college athletes. After a lengthy
investigation, it decided that a
two-year penalty with a loss of
five scholarships would be
enough.
Ha. My side is hurting so bad
and my clothes are now dirty
from laughing while rolling on
the floor. Double ha.
Does the NCAA think that a
slap on the wrist is going to keep
Texas from committing any
infractions of the 10,001 Com­mandments,
the ones that are
etched in stone and stored in an
underground vault in Mission,
Kan.?
All the Longhorns will do now,
aside from "helping" the NCAA
for the probationary period, is
learn to be more careful. The ear­lier
game of hide and seek will
now become search, and if you
find us, destroy.
Violations are going to occur
wherever you go, wherever you
look. Rice University, one of only
two Southwest Conference
schools not on probation, has
never been reprimanded by Big
Brother (read NCAA).

bowl appearances. Ha, again.
Integrity shows at the quiet cam­pus
in Texas, but just how honest
are they? Everyone has at least
one skeleton in the closet.
Across the country, infractions
are going to occur. Has there
never been a coach taking a
recruit out for lunch or driving a
player across town, so the athlete
wouldn't have to walk? Never a
prospective signee given jewelry
or clothes or new shoes? Never a
coach who let the homesick
player use his office phone to call
home, or invited the player over
for dinner?
Or boosters that give money
and other gifts to players? Ah,
the booster. Disguised as a mild-mannered
supporter of the old
school, dear to the heart, the dis­honest
booster becomes obsessed
with winning and keeping ath­letes
satisfied so they won't jump
to the rival school.
These are not to be confused
with the honest boosters, who
seem to outnumber the bad ones
and want a clean program that
does well and turns out good,
honest humans.
Cheating will happen, just like
the sun rising and setting. This is
what the NCAA wants to curtail,
the dishonest practices that are
spreading like my waistband
(yes, I have TB—two bellies).
What the NCAA should do is
slam the damn door on the.
schools that are caught cheating.
None of this antsy-pantsy stuff
like losing five scholarships for
one year.
Cut 'em off at the base and end
this crap. Look at Southern
Methodist University, or what
used to be SMU. Those poor pup­pies
got their tails caught in a
wringer and haven't a thing to
show for it now.
Sure, SMU was a haven for the
NCAA investigators for the past
decade. Repeated violations
caused the football program to be
suspended for a year, thanks to
the NCAA's "death penalty".
After that happened in Febru­ary,
the officials at the Dallas
school decided that 1988 wouldn't
be a good year for SMU football,
so they bagged it too. Good for
them.
Maybe the boosters out there in
the "Big D" will find some more
oil wells to sink their money into,
instead of the off-limits world of
college athletics. If they wanted
to give money to the SMU
athletic program, they should
have bought new turf for the
field or built a new stadium..
Players have a hard enough

University of Tennessee foot­ball
fans are among the most
loyal in the nation. They enjoy
few things more than watching
their beloved Vols destroy oppo­nents
on Saturday afternoons,
especially Auburn.
But in the Johnny Majors era,
Tennessee football fans have suf­fered
through some lean years.
The 1985 Southeastern Confer­ence
Championship is the only
title for the Vols under Majors in
his 10 years as head coach.
Going into the 1986 season, Vol
fans were talking about national
championships and the start of
t h e long-awaited "Majors
Dynasty."
The Vols were blown out early
by Auburn and Alabama before
ending the season with five
straight victories, including a
win over Minnesota in the Lib­erty
Bowl.
Auburn has beaten Tennessee
four of the last five years and
wants to add another win in
Knoxville this year, as the Tigers
travel to Tennessee on Sept. 26.
But victories over the Vols have
been hard to come by in Neyland
Stadium for the Tigers.
The 1985 game in Knoxville
still gives Auburn players and
fans nightmares. Tony Robinson
and Co. had perhaps their finest
outing ever when they defeated
Auburn, ranked first in the
nation at the time, 38-20.
The 1987 Tennessee team is
looking to recapture the glory of
SQUEEZE TIME
Tracy Rocker (74) makes tackle against Tennessee
Plainsman Files
the 1985 championship season.
The talk in Knoxville is tough,
and players, coaches and fans
alike are pointing to Auburn as
the first step toward another SEC
title.
The main concern for the Vols
is rebuilding the defense, which
was depleted after graduation.
Key losses on defense for the Vols
were linebacker Dale Jones,
safety Charles Davis and defen­sive
tackle Robby Scott. Key
losses on offense for the Vols
were tackles Daryle Smith and
Bruce Wilkerson, wide receiver
Joey Clinkscales and tight end
Tim Hendrix.
Female athletes get new organization
By Alan Clemons
Sports Editor
Helping instill more unity
among female athletes is the goal
"This is great," said A-Club
President Mary Beth Eckerlein
after hearing the news. "We were
a bit worried that we wouldn't get
it, but we thought we had given
some good answers at the review
session. I'm thrilled with the
news."
The group has been together
for the past year, but was on pro­bation,
a requirement for all new
organizations, according to Deb­bie
Shaw, coordinator of student
affairs.
"They met all the require­ments,
and the senate voted them
in," Shaw said.
Groups petitioning the senate
must go through the probation
period (one year); have at least 15
members;. establishjf,.Qjfeers, a
constitution, a list of proposed
activities and a list of past
accomplishments; before asking
for a permanent charter. The
group is also required to submit a
pre-sized advertisement to The
Plainsman for University
recognition.
"We thought we could prove to
the board that we needed this
group to help build support for
women's athletics," Eckerlein
said. "Having an organization
like this should help the female
athletes become closer."
Eckerlein is on the Lady Tiger
swim team. Vice-president Toni
Johnson is a gymnast, secretary
Robin Sharp is a member of the
tennis team and Kandis Perry,
treasurer, is a swim team
member. Head swim coach John
..^^AjS^utb/«#£Wafc,.ft8 the group's^,
adviser.
In the past year, Eckerlein said
the group has been planning and
organizing events for the upcom­ing
year. One of the ideas in the
making is an alumni weekend,
which would bring former Lady
Tiger athletes back to Auburn for
a reunion.
"The alumni weekend is still in
the planning stages," she said.
"If it does come about, we hope to
have it on a weekend where there
would be several athletic events
taking place. That would be a
boost to the programs."
The formation of a monthly or
quarterly newsletter is also being
considered, "something to the
effect of an update to let the
alumni know what is going on,"
Eckerlein said. The newsletter
The Vols return the nucleus of
their offense with Jeff Francis
returning at quarterback after
throwing for 1,946 yards and
nine touchdowns in 1986. Francis
burst on the scene last year as the
starter, having worked his way in
during 1985 after Robinson went
down with a knee injury in the
Alabama game.
William Howard returns at full­back
after rushing for 787 yards
and scoring 14 touchdowns last
season. The bullish powerhouse
gives the Vol offense the needed
running threat, and returning
runningback Keith Davis pro­vides
the breakaway speed.
Anthony Miller is back at wide
receiver to shore up the loss of
Clinkscales and continue the
tradition of speedy pass catchers.
On defense, Tennessee returns
linebacker Keliy Ziegler, one of
the toughest players in the SEC.
Cornerback Terry McDaniel, a
sprinter on the track team, and
Victor Peppers return to bolster
the secondary.
Majors has suspended middle
guard Fred Bennet and tackle
Richard Cooper, and said he will
not count on them this fall to help
defensively.
Tennessee will begin the 1987
campaign when they face Big
Ten power Iowa on Aug. 31 in the
Kickoff Classic in East Ruther­ford,
N.J.
The Vols will see action
against Colorado State and Mis­sissippi
State before Auburn vis-
' its Neyland Stadium.
Majors will then line up his
troops against California, Ala­bama,
Georgia Tech, Boston Col­lege,
Louisville, Ole Miss, Ken-,
tucky and Vanderbilt.
The pressure to win in 1987 is
on Majors. Most preseason picks

Nidiffer's
resignation
accepted
Assistant basketball coach Jay
Nidiffer has announced his
resignation, Auburn head coach
Sonny Smith said Monday
afternoon.
The 51-year-old Nidiffer was
defensive coordinator and helped
extensively in the Tigers' recruit­ing
efforts the past two seasons.
According to a released state­ment
from the athletic depart­ment,
Nidiffer said he "plans to
relocate in either coaching or
athletic administration," but
wasn't sure where he was going
yet.
In Nidiffer's two years on the
Plains the Tigers averaged
twenty wins a season and made
consecutive appearances in the
NCAA Tournament. Auburn
reached the final eight of the
tourney in 1985, losing to
national champion Louisville,
and in 1987 theTigers lost to title-winner
Indiana in the second
round.

Hmmm...I wonder if the price
of pro baseball tickets will go up
anjrtime soon.
Baseball team owners may try
to take advantage of the two-for-one"
specials that seem to be
rejegntly providing extra enter­tainment
and excitement to the
ga%e.
yjrjis two sports for the price of
onj^thing, the combination of
baseball and boxing, will surely
britijg an increase to those blue
ticket seats surrounding the
infield — the Jack Nicholson
se$i£ of baseball.
I tuned in to the pre-game show
for the baseball game of the week
last Saturday and found host
Marv Albert (NBC sportscaster
goof) showing some of the may-hem
that had occurred on the
base paths this season. Marv,
| evefj clever and witty, called it
"Biaiebrawl."
'•ftasebrawl?" Well, I don't

think Ted is really moonlighting

I and Marv is just lip-syncing,

Anyway, what else could the
violent outbreaks of baseball be
named? Hmmm...How about
I "BJMJ, I'm gonna hitcha over 'da
heap with my bat?" No, that's too
| long and degrading.
What about "Pitch 'n Punch"
I (PJff1)? Well, that's not exactly
witty either. Maybe Marv and I
should date. I guess PNP will
I have to do.
Here's the classic PNP situa-
I tion: The pitcher, usually either
scrawny or a bit on the pudgy
side (a.k.a. The Fernando Valen-zuela
Syndrome) throws a few
brushback pitches. OK, so far no
harm done. Next, the pitcher may
toss a knock-down Ditch, causing
I irritation to the batter—the kind
of irritaion a pit bull has when
you take away his Alpo—mean
doggy.
Now, this is where I think
pitchers show a little of their
masochistic personalities. An
inning or two later, the pitcher
gets too close and finally nails
some slugger (a proper name for a
batter like Don Baylor or Dave
Parker, because now they are
going to slug the pitcher).
. But, does the pitcher make like •
Rickey Henderson and run like
hell? No, they would rather stand
there with a flimsy piece of
leather, their glove, over their
face and take a beating and a
massive body slam...Come on
guys, forget the guts; Mother
Teresa wouldn't have a prayer.
So, is there a reason behind this
madness? Call it Massacre on the
Mound —the movie. The massa­cre
part, that's what baffles me. I
don't see why each tussle has to
result in an all out bench-clearing
battle. Let the pitcher and batter
duke it out without the aid of 30
other players.
I suppose they don't because of
a thing called bloodshed. And,
with gum-chomping kids in the
crowd, I guess that would make
the Massacre on the Mound an
R-rated affair.
So, back to square one. Why the
sudden occurrence of these
brawls? Maybe it's those double-knit,
pajama-type uniforms the
guys are forced to run around in.
Perhaps they are just a little hot
under the collar. They haven't
had a uniform style change since
the days of Abner Doubleday. I
would think knickers aren't the
most comfortable playing
apparel.
Cosmopolitan rejects. Down
right maddening. Enough so for
the guys to vent their anger with
their fists? Nah, not really.
Perhaps the big league pitchers
are just testy because they have
been taken downtown too many
times. Not by limos, but by the
long ball exploding from the bats
of a truckload of players in both
leagues.
Everyone seems to have their
own reasons for the hit blitz that
has left many a pitcher standing,
shuffling about the mound while
boys in pajamas circle the bases
in a home run trot, slower than
molasses—prolonging the pitch­er's
agony. (Athletes are so sweet
aren't they?) Rub it in, guys.
Marv says maybe the ball is
just livelier this year.
Lame excuse, Marv. It's the
lousy pitching— plain, simple, to
the point. You have your Saber-hagens,
and then you have your
Seavers. (By the way, thanks for
retiring, Tom.) The Seavers seem
to outnumber the Saberhagens.
OK guys, it's time to stop play­ing
with your new-found toy—the
split-fingered fastball. If you're a
Bruce Sutter, throw it. If not, (and
you know who you are), stop.
Thursday, July 2,1987
And, as Marv Albert so pro­phetically
says, "Let's play ball."
Whoa, don't get too excited Marv.
It's bad for that Koppel image.

Female athletes eating a diet
high in carbohydrates can exer­cise
longer, are more vigorous
and less tense, a University study
has determined.
Robert E. Keith of the College
of Human Sciences and other
University researchers based
their findings on a study of the
diets of a group of highly trained
female cyclists.
During the project, which
lasted one month, the eight ath­letes
were given specialized diets
and then asked to ride a station­ary
bike until they were fatigued.
One diet was low in carbohy­drates,
another was a moderate
carbohydrate diet and the third
was a high carbohydrate diet
heavy on cereals, pasta, bread,
beans and fruit.
The moderate and low carbo-
Clemons-hydrate
diets contained propor­tionately
less of these foods. The
athletes stayed on each diet for a
week and then rode bikes that
were controlled to make each ath­lete
pedal at 80 percent maximum
capability.
high-intake regimen, the cyclists
rode for two hours.
"What we learned was that
female athletes could ride twice
as long if they ate a diet high in
carbohydrates," Keith explained.
One interesting aspect of the
"We wanted to see if, by chang­ing
a diet, we would change the
amount of time they could ride,"
Keith said.
On the low carbohydrate diet,
the average length of time the
women could ride was one hour.
On the moderate diet, they could
pedal for 90 minutes and on the
testing was an evaluation of
mood swings each athlete went
through during each diet. "We
found substantial changes in an
athlete's mood by changing the
level of carbohydrates in the
diet," he said.
Every week when the women
came to the laboratory at Memor­ial
Coliseum to ride the bikes,
they were given standardized
psychological tests.
During the week of the low car­bohydrate
diet, the women scored
high for being angry, hostile,
anxious and more depressed. The
high and moderate diets made
the women feel more vigorous,
the tests showed.
"In a long race, the psychologi­cal
aspect is very important,"
Keith pointed out.
Working on the project with
Keith, a faculty member in the
Auburn Department of Foods
and Nutrition and researcher
with the Alabama Agricultural
Experiment Station, were gradu­ate
assistant Kathleen O'Keeffe
and members of the Auburn
members of the Auburn health,
physical education and recrea­tion
departments. Keith recently
presented the findings at an
American College of Sports Med­icine
meeting in Las Vegas, Nev.
time going to class, practicing,
studying, watching films, work­ing
out, all the things that entail
making a successful program.
They don't need the pressure of
worrying about probation, or
whether they will get caught if
they take $600 a month from Joe
Booster.
What the NCAA needs to do is
pass a new rule making it legal
for the schools to give each ath­lete,
from football players to
gymnasts, a monthly amount of
spending money. Until the mid-
1970s a sum of $15 per month,
laundry money, was allowed by
continued from page 11
the NCAA, but it chose to do
away with it.
Well, inflation has upped the
pot just a bit and if it ever decides
to bring back laundry money, it
should be in the range of $75-100
per month. Controlled by the
NCAA, each athlete would
receive his share after the
schools sent in the allotted
' amount to Kansas.
It would take some time to work
things out, but it could be done.
Then, if the NCAA found viola­tions
occuring, it would be
katie-bar-the-door.
Because remember, Big Brother
is always watching.

NCAA limits seasons; USOC irritated
By Alan Clemons
Sports Editor
The NCAA voted Tuesday to
place a 26-week limit on the prac­tice
and playing seasons of Div­ision
I sports, much to the dismay
of coaches and the U.S. Olympic
Committee.
The proposal, brought up at the
sixth special convention of the
NCAA in its 81-year history, pla­ces
restrictions on athletes prac­ticing
with coaches outside of the
regular nine-month school year.
Opponents of the measure
included officials of the USOC,
who were concerned that limita­tions
would decrease the chances
of collegiate athletes to compete
effectively in i n t e r n a t i o n al
meets.
"We don't want to put obstacles
or roadblocks in the way, but it is
not the primary mission of the
NCAA to get student-athletes
ready for international compete
tion," NCAA President Wilford S.
Bailey said last Monday. "We
have to be more concerned about
the balance between athletics
and academics than the ability of
a student-athlete to compete at a
higher level."
As it is now, athletes are able to
train with coaches during the off­season
to prepare for interna­tional
games. The new rule elim­inates
these practices, which was
the main concern of the USOC.
"The student-athlete will be
unable to. work with his or her
collegiate coach outside the
declared playing season, which
has the potential to impact nega­tively
on the athlete's prepara­tion
for major international com­p
e t i t i o n , " USOC President
Robert Helmick said.
Auburn baseball head coach
Hal Baird was concerned with
the idea and the possibilities it
might have had on collegiate and
high school players.
"We feel restricted as it is now,"
he said. "The current situation is
.palatable, because the kids have
the opportunity to go to class,
maintain their grades and play
ball."
"I think it could cause some
high school players to choose
professional ball instead of col­lege,"
Baird added. "We workout
in the fall and if a guy has pro
potential, then he can develop his
skills in college for a few years."
Along with Baird, Tiger head
swim coach John Asmuth
expressed displeasure at the idea
of eliminating the off-season
workouts.
"Doing away with that (practi­ces)
will really hurt swimming as
a sport, especially with interna-
Wilford Bailey
twhal competitions," Asmuth
saidX'We have athletes here at
Auburn who are trying to com­pete
against the best swimmers
in the world, the SEC and in the
nation.
""1 don't see where it would save
any money either," Asmuth said.
"The coaches are still paid for
working and there are no travel
expenses involved because we
don't go anywhere. I can't really
see where the monetary part fits
in."
Addressing the issue of cost-containment
for institutions,
Bailey said it was a problem for
the NCAA because "...much of it
is keeping up with the Joneses.
Institutions will have to use their
own ingenuity to find ways of
containing costs."
The body voted 69-39 not to
reduce the number of scholar­ships
on Division I men's athletic
teams, which would have saved
thousands of dollars for schools
across the country. The commit­tee
also wanted to trim five scho­larships
from Division I football
programs.
The group delayed a vote on the
measure that would increase the
number of basketball scholar­ships
from 13 to 15. The NCAA
decided in January to lower the
scholarships a school can give,
causing a mild furor in coaching
circles. The wanted increase was
not in accordance with the
NCAA cost-cutting plans,
though.

Athletic staffers celebrate differently
By Barry Brock
Staff Writer
July 4 is a date that has become
synonymous with activities like
picnicking, eating barbecue
(closely followed by beer swil­ling),
making ice cream, playing
baseball and shooting fireworks.
It a day for celebrating the anni­versary
of American indepen­dence.
There is one group of people in
Auburn, however, who will spend
this July 4 without the usual
hoopla. This group includes some
of the most dedicated members of
the Auburn athletic department,
the coaches.
According to head basketball
coach Sonny Smith, coaching is a
year-round job. Smith said that
he will spend the fourth in Car-nesville,
Ga., attending a basket­ball
camp for college prospects.
Smith added, "Unless I happen to
catch a few fireworks around
possible recruits.
Women's basketball coach Joe
Ciampi will also have his bags
packed over the holiday weekend.
Ciampi said he will leave on July
3 for the AAU Nationals, a collec­tion
of the best female basketball
players in the country. Ciampi
said the. tournament, which is
being held in Las Cruces, N.M.,
will keep him in the gym from 8
a.m to 10 p.m. watching basket­ball
games*
•there, it will not be much of a
holiday."
Assistant baseball coach Ed
Thayer said that his holiday
would also be spent on the job.
Thayer said that he will attend
several American Legion base­ball
tournaments to evaluate
Other members of the athletic
department said they will enjoy a
more traditional holiday.
Athletic Ticket Manager Bill
Beckwith said he will travel with
his family to the peaceful beaches
of Destin, Fla. Beckwith said he
is looking forward to an all-day
fishing trip Saturday with his
son, former Auburn pitching star
-Matte*
Joe Beckwith. The younger
Beckwith pitched professionally
for the Los Angeles Dodgers and
Kansas City Royals after leaving
Auburn in 1977.
Sports Information Director
David Housel said he will spend
the fourth visiting with both his
parents and his in-laws. "The
best part of that deal is that I get
two barbecue dinners," Housel
said. Housel listed homemade ice
cream and watermelon as his
other favorite holiday diversions.
Assistant Athletic Director
Kermit Perry said he will be play­ing
in a golf tournament this
weekend at Saugahatchee Coun­try
Club. Perry said he would
probably "swing the club about
100 times and then come home
and sit by my pool an move the
rest of the day." Perry also said
he planned on "gaining about 10
nds eating barbecue."
