Board to discuss tuition increase Mary Omdorff and Elizabeth Lander Staff Writers The Board of Trustees will discuss a proposal Friday which could result in a tuition increase for the 1991-92 academic year. The board's five-member budget committee will recommend a gradual tuition increase in accordance with the inflation rate, Jack Venable, committee chairman, said Tuesday. "I prefer that an increase be reconsidered annually rather than an 11 percent increase one year and nothing the next," Venable said. "We (the entire board) have discussed this just briefly," he said. "We will try to take the best figure we can get and go with it." Although President James E. Martin told student leaders last week that a 10 percent increase will be recommended to the board, Venable said his committee is working toward 5-8 percent. Venable said he would like tuition to equal 30 percent of the state's funds or charge $30 for every $100 worth of credit hours.

"This is obviously a controversial issue," Senator Susannah Jones, said. Before the first vote, Jones gave the association's qualifications, and said it had a "right" to a probationary charter.

AAUP questions Martin's actions University's reply elicits surprise; association anticipates results Wade Williams Editor WASHINGTON, D.C - Auburn's progress toward being removed from the American Association of University Professors' (AAUP) censure list has been hindered by the denial of tenure to the Rev. Charles Curran, one of the AAUP officers said here Friday. "In a couple of previous instances where an institution was a locus of development (in tenure issues), it has caused major concern. "In those cases, the AAUP has had more to say in a separate report. You might anticipate something like that with the Curran case," said Jordan E. Kurland, associate general secretary of the AAUP. Auburn's censure by the AAUP began in 1983 after music instructor Lida Mayfield was denied tenure. Mayfield alleged tenure was denied because of her sex and handicap. Kurland said there has been good progress with bringing the rules and regulations of the Universir ty in line with the policies of the AAUP. "Auburn is on the list as a result of-the Mayfield case, a case which she (Mayfield) lost resoundingly-in court. The AAUP never accused Auburn of acting illegally, but unprofessionally. "Even though it won the case, Auburn hasn't closed the door (on the changes)," Kurland said. "Auburn is supposed to have a commitment to uphold academic freedom. I'm not sure it has been upheld in the Curran case," he said.

The Auburn McDonald's on 244 W. Magnolia Ave. is in the process of phasing out the polystyrene packaging and converting to paper. The owner, Richard Heckler, said during the next 60 days, 75 percent of the foam packaging for sandwiches and other items will be changed to paper wrappers. "McDonald's has always been committed to environmentally sound business policies. We are in the business to satisfy our customers," Heckler said. "Our customers want their food to be hot and fresh, and the polystyrene containers enabled McDonald's to do just that. Paper wrappers cannot keep Proposed medical park sparks concern Martha Cronk Associate Editor f Some residents fear rezoning a 23-acre tract in Auburn may bring a more commercial project if the proposed professional park is not constructed. The land in question is between Glenn and Thach avenues and Brookwood Drive and Ryan Street. Fred Fox, general partner of Cascade Partners, Ltd., said, "We propose a very low-density subdivision with very expensive buildings - a professional office r rk mainly forimedical profes-sionals." The complex would be named University Center Professional Park. Don Vives of 132 S. Brook-wood Drive said, "I think the proposal...would be a reasonable thing to do. ...(But) once it is rezoned, it can be used for a lot of things that...would be objectionable in this part of town. I am very leery of the proposal if it is rezoned." Fox said, "As a matter of public policy, I believe it would be in the public interest that the city of Auburn have an ordinance that allowed conditional zoning^' City Planning Director Robert J. Juster said conditional zoning would allow the property to revert to the previous zone if the proposed project failed. This would control speculation and ensure applicants have a specific project in mind. The Auburn Planning Commission will examine conditional zoning at the Triannual Review this month. The land currently zoned as development district - housing must be changed to development district for this project. Since this land was originally zoned, Glenn has been widened, apartment projects have been built and Lakeview Baptist Church has acquired land in the area, Juster said. "The (planning) staff recommended... in that vicinity, that the best way to handle the request was to look at the entire area," he said. This includes Glenn to Thach avenues and Debardeleben Street to Dean Road. At the Oct. 11 Auburn Planning Commission meeting, it was agreed to look at the whole area during the Triannual See ZONE, A-8 food as warm or as fresh as foam containers, and is not as durable either. "McDonald's didn't want to give their customers paper wrappers that food can leak through. The reason why it's taken us some time to make the change is because we had to develop a new insulated layered paper wrapper," Heckler said. The paper wrapper McDonald's is planning to switch to will be coated with wax, making it non-biodegradable. Heckler said the federal Food and Drug Administration prohibits the use of recycled paper to be used as food wrappers because it is not sanitary. "McDonald's made the big switch from foam to paper wrappers because of consumers' demands, not because of the harmful effect of the CFCs (chlo-roflourocarbons) in Styrofoam on the environment," said Deb- See FOAM, A-8 This Week... t News Briefs A-2 Inside Auburn A-3 Campus Calendar A-2 Editorials A-6 Letters A-7 Other Campuses A-14 Classifieds A-16,17 Marquee B-2 Funky Tiger B-8 Life in Hell B-8 Weather Partly cloudy through the weekend.

This scene is familiar to the University stu- ; dents enlisted in the reserves and on alert to take part in Operation Desert Shield. "I've heard from my battery gunnery sergeant that there is a pretty good chance that it's not a matter of if we'll go; it's a matter of when we'll go," said Marine Reservist David McNeely, 04 FI, an assistant operations chief for fire direction control of the 4th Marine Division in Bessemer. The number of Auburn students who may go to Saudi Arabia is difficult to compute since these students come from various units. Some of these students are quarters away from graduation. If they are called to active duty, their education will be put on hold. Pat Barnes, vice president of student affairs, said a new University policy has been set to accommodate these students. The policy states that any student who is passing a course and has completed all requirements except the final exam will be assigned the grade he has earned. When the student returns to campus, he can take the final exam to improve his grade. • If the student has completed the course requirements but is failing, he will receive an "X" and will be permitted to take the final exam upon his return. Any student called to active duty before completing the course requirements will be assigned an "X" and will be permitted to complete the course when he returns. This policy may affect Richard Mullins, 04 AC, who is on alert with the Army National Guard unit in Griffin, Ga., and Newnan, Ga. "Right now, I'm just going day by day," Frank Sandrock, 02 MIS, prepares to leave for Saudi Arabia at a moment's Staff photo by Ian Droves notice. Sandrock is a member of the Alabama National Guard. Mullins said. "I have no doubt that I will be going, and I think before Christmas. But since I didn't know what was going to happen, I signed up for classes, and everything's packed up and ready to go." Sgt. Ray McBurney of the Army National Guard's 167th Material Management Center in Opelika said eight students are enlisted in his unit. Because of the uncertainty of the situation, he said, students should remain in school. Some of these students seem worried that with the current threat of war, Congress may enact the War Powers Act. This law states that in time of conflict, the military can hold reservists on active duty for up to two years. And that could mean a two-year delay in someone's education. "I'm sure they all will be affected; they just will react differently," McBurney said. "But I do have one in the unit who said to me, This is really disrupting my life.'" With this exception, McBurney said his students have expressed neither great reluctance nor a desire to get out of the reserves. A student can be released from the reserves as long as his unit is not on alert. Col. Ralph LeBlanc, commander of the Auburn University Air Force ROTC, said he does not want to hear complaints from anyone called to active duty. "As far as I'm concerned, all active-duty military, National Guard and reserve units are getting paid to train in the event of just such a world situation as this," LeBlanc said. 'They should be ready for it, and if they don't like it, they should get out." McNeely, who is 20 hours from graduation after this quarter, said he keeps a positive attitude. "They helped pay for school, so I can't complain," McNeely said. Although students may be enlisted in units all over the the country, they experience similar preparation and training when put on alert. "We go through all records and make sure that their physicals are current," McBurney said. "They then have the opportunity to have wills, the power of attorney and their checks directly deposited." They then begin to train in survival skills as well as prepare equipment to be shipped overseas. When all preparation is complete, they return to their daily routines and wait to be further notified. Preparation at school is minimal, however Students are instructed to keep up with the news and uphold their financial responsibilities.

But homecoming campaigns began long before the official * start Sunday. Allison Lehr, 1989 homecoming campaign manager, said the «key was to start early. "Immediately, we called for billboard locations, escorts and , scheduling for appearances," Lehr said. "Committees and committee heads were told what to do, and thaf s how we got it done," she said. Elections Board began its work before this week by interviewing candidates and approving all that goes into a * campaign. Kristi Stillwell, director of elections, said billboards, colors, •posters, marquees, concourse time, slide location and store windows must be approved , before campaigns start. Stillwell said that, unlike Auburn, the University of * Alabama allows anyone to write an essay and to be interviewed. Ten girls are then selected by a vpanel, and they do not campaign. "I like our system better. I »know it's hectic on E-Board members and the groups that help the girls, but the candidate .gets a better feel for Auburn," Stillwell said. "Students can see the girl and decide who to vote .for."

"I feel like I gained a lot of friends. Even though I may not remember the names, I remember the friendly faces," Woodruff said. "I enjoyed every minute of it. It's a once in a lifetime thing." Candidates for this year said they looked forward to meeting and seeing the organizations on campus. Patricia Barineau, 03 FLTF, said, "When I was a freshman, I remember candidates who I felt I could approach as a good friend. "I hope after campaigns, I would have an impact on people so they can rely on me," she said. Jackie Boswell, 03 AC, said, "I like how campaigns are held because it gives people the chance to get to know you. "I expect to get to know more people and learn a lot about Auburn," Boswell said. Stephanie Perry, 04 MT, said, "I've been a candidate before, and youmeet a lot of people. "Being escorted for four days is great, and you get to know them," Perry said. "That week you go through and see what people do at Auburn for just a few seconds." Katie Prather, 04 MIS, said, "I'm really honored to be up for Miss Homecoming, but I'm much more excited about hanging out with people during the week than campaigning for myself. "I want students to remember me as just another student on campus," Prather said. Kristi Vice, 04 NUR, said, "I'm a senior in nursing school, and those are the only people you're around. "This is my chance to meet so many different types of people," Vice said. Elections will be today from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ballot boxes will be placed at about 30 locations around campus. The winner will be announced at halftime during Saturday's game.

He returned from California last year and again this year to run the race and to help continue the ODK Cake Race tradition. The race was Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at the Wilbur Hutsell Varsity Track. Coach Wilbur Hutsell held the first ODK Cake Race in 1928 to help find talent for his track team. With that race, Hutsell established a tradition that has lasted 62 years. The race is sponsored every year during homecoming week by ODK Leadership Honorary. ODK said its goal for the race is to attract more participants each year and to keep the race going. Last year more than 337 participants ran. Auburn track coach Mel Rosen said the race has been kept alive because of tradition. "Tradition has gone by the wayside," he said. "This race is one of the last traditions Auburn has been able to hold." Phillip Ratcliff, 04 GRT, co-chairman of the race, said the race was popular in 1928, but then interest dropped. Now, the popularity has risen again, he said. 'The race is not a fundraiser," Ratcliff said. All T-shirts and cakes are donated by the Alumni Association, he said. The winners' trophies are donated by ODK, and the race Auburn dancers travel overseas Leigh Ann Lane Staff Writer Set ODK, A-18 Coordination, dedication and a lot of hard work have given Tiger Pause the opportunity to perform in Frankfurt, Germany, during spring break. Tiger Pause Coordinator Nicole Parker said the dance team was invited to Germany by the World League of American Football. Auburn's dance team has never been invited overseas, she said. The team will be in Germany for one week performing for football teams from all around the world. Krista Ackerbloom, a Tiger Pause member for two years, said, "Memphis State has been No. 1 for so long, and they're always invited to go places. "When we were invited, I felt our team was being recognized as the same class as Memphis State. I was so proud." Mary Beth Transue, a new member of Tiger Pause, said, "I've never been overseas. It's been a great honor to be picked. "I'm excited we get to represent Auburn so far away. It will be exciting to perform for people who might not be used to that kind of entertainment." B.J. Adamson, captain of Tiger Pause, said, "It's one of the biggest honors we've ever had. "We'd like support from students and alumni. Not only will they support Tiger Pause, but Auburn University." Tiger Pause is asking for donations for the trip. The women need $30,000 to make the trip, ft Staff photo by John Roper Tiger Pause members practice for a trip to Germany. In order to raise money, Parker said, "We are writing letters to companies and basketball scholarship donors. "We'd even like support from businesses because anything will help," she said. Tiger Pause consists of 16 women who are selected in the spring. The members perform during basketball half-time shows, doing what they call "contemporary funk dancing."

The program allows returning Peace Corps volunteers to pursue a master's degree in education, College of Education Dean Richard C. Kunkel said. New York City's Columbia University Teachers College is the other university in the country actively participating in the program that was organized in 1985, Kunkel said. By 1992, Peace Corps officials hope to have more than 20 universities participating. "Auburn became connected with the program as a direct result of the Peace Corps director, Paul Coverdell, choosing us as one of the institutions to invite," Kunkel said. "He was so interested in us being fel-lowed, he came here himself three or four months ago and visited President Martin, Dr. Henry and me. "Our program at Auburn is unique in that the volunteers will be working in rural school districts where there is a problem attracting math, science and foreign language teachers," Kunkel said. The program will enlarge the pool of teachers in the schools and help those who have had Peace Corps experience teaching in other countries to get licensed to teach in the state. It will also give former volunteers an opportunity to work in communities in rural Alabama, he said. To qualify for a fellowship, the volunteer must be nearing the end of a two year stint in the corps and planning to pursue a master's degree. Kunkel said qualified candidates have to apply to the graduate school and be accepted as any other potential graduate student. "In our case, they will be involved in our fifth year program which enables a student with a undergraduate degree in majors other than education to return to college for a master's in education. This helps them become licensed to teach. "A volunteer participating in the Peace Corps Fellows/USA program here at Auburn will teach at a rural school during the day and attend classes at night and during the summer. They will be required to teach two more years in the rural school after receiving their master's degree," Kunkel said. Andrew Weaver, head of the department of curriculum and teaching, said, "We hope to have some students in the program by the 1991 summer quarter." William Baird, assistant professor of curriculum and teaching, and his wife were Peace Corps volunteers in Micronesia from 1968 to 1970 and taught English as a second language. "I think this program is a wonderful way to use our land-grant universities to accomplish domestic objectives. It will bring volunteers to us as defined by the needs of the United States," Baird said.

"He was found last January in Lake Gun-tersville with a gunshot wound," Theresa Robinson, 04 VM, said. The Alabama Wildlife and Rescue Service brought the golden eagle to the Auburn veterinary clinic Sept. 24, she said. "He is a threatened species ...he's one step below the bald eagle, but more common in this area," she said. "He had a broken wing. He didn't require surgery, but he was cage rested. Like athletes, if they just sit around, they lose their condition. "Aquila is an aggressive bird toward people, which is what we want him to be," Robinson said. David Hannon, co-director of the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Program, said, "We keep the least human contact as possible in order to minimize stress and because this is a releasable bird." Robinson said, "We (Raptor Rehabilitation) take in any injured raptors, including hawks, eagles, falcons, vultures and owls. "We don't raise them because thaf s illegal. It's illegal to even have a feather from one of these birds because they (authorities) don't know if you shot it or just found it," she said. Raptor staff members usually place baby birds in the same cages with mature birds of the same species, Hannon said. It helps the baby identify with the bird species instead of humans. If the bird identifies with human beings, it relies on them for food and is not capable of surviving in the wild and therefore is not releasable, he said. The program has a "kill cage" where live rodents are placed to test the birds' abilities to kill prey. "We can't release the birds until we know they can kill," he said. Once the bird has passed this test, as well as 10 flights of at least 100 yards each, the bird is then releasable. "We get about 100 birds in a year and release about one-third of them. That's about average," Britt Blake Staff Writer Staff photo.by Paige Wooldridge Aquila, a golden eagle, rehabilitates to soon be returned to the wilderness. Hannon said. "The ones that don't die, we sometimes have to put them down. If a bird has an injured leg, we have to amputate. It's cruel to keep a bird with one leg because he can't function," he said. The program tries to find facilities, such as Camp ASCCA's wildlife facility, for the birds which are not releasable. "We get attached to the unreleaseable birds," Hannon said. All the birds in the raptor program have names and special characteristics. The program's main goal is to educate people, especially children, on the laws regarding these animals, Robinson said. "We want to teach them at a young age that it's illegal to shoot these animals," she said. "A majority of our injured birds have been hurt by humans." Fifty four student volunteers help take care of the 22 birds in the program, Hannon said. "Everyone seems to enjoy coming out here; it's something different from vet school." The Raptor program plans to release Aquila next January after making sure he is capable of surviving in the wild. Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine will dedicate a new imaging center Nov. 18 that will be one of the few of its kind in the nation. The center is expected to draw nationwide attention because of the additional facilities, Jan E. Bartels, director of the center and head of the radiology department, said; The Holland M. Ware Imaging Center features an advanced cancer lab, a nuclear medicine lab and equipment such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized axial tomography (CAT scan). "In the past we've had to go to East Alabama Medical Center. We have not had the availability of MRI facilities. Having it right within the confines of the department of radiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine is going to help clientele, veterinary faculty and researchers," Bartels said. "We're combining sophisticated high-tech pieces of equipment with what's already existing, which was good to start with. "Our radiographic facility was as good as you could get it. We're combining that with three or four other modes of imaging so we'll have a comprehensive, up-to-date imaging facility," he said. The new imaging center will give researchers the equipment they need to further studies in animal diseases, he said. "It gives us a fantastic opportunity to look at all orthopedic diseases and opens up a whole realm of disease processes associated with the brain (including) Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and neuromuscular diseases," Bartels said. With better equipment to do research in diagnosing and treating animals, researchers can learn more about how diseases such as cancer affect humans, he said. "Cancer occurs at the same rate, in the same age and in the same cell type in animals as it does in humans. Cancer as a disease in animals would serve as an excellent model for the study of cancer in humans," he said. Bartels said the center will work on research projects with the University of California in San Francisco, the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Emory University. The construction of the center was made possible by a $500,000 grant from Holland M. Ware, said Robyn Hearn, an assistant editor for University Relations, said. Ware also pledged $10 million to the College of Veterinary Medicine during the Auburn Generations Fund Campaign. j w w n n w w n n ? Time to Dine...

Some of the most mammoth are grown on Biggio Drive by the intramural fields. Repeated requests to have the road repaved have gone to the facilities division. At first, we were told it was too cold. Next, facilities said it would pave it after the lights were put on the intramural fields, pointing out the heavy equipment needed to erect the lights would ruin the road. Winter's gone; the lights are up. But why isn't the road paved? Paving should have begun the day after the lights were completed. In any case, if it's not paved soon, winter will be upon us again, preventing the paving until spring. No interest rate he SGA is accepting applications for the Eagle Escort service which is slated to begin again after homecom- T ing. Unfortunately, it has received disappointingly few applicants. After plenty of student complaining, the SGA put some hard work into bringing this valuable service back to campus. There's plenty of good to be done with the service. If only one attack is prevented, the service has proved its value. Although volunteers are needed, only the serious and mature need apply. Good News... A soon. golf course to be built by the same Japanese firm that owns the kudzu farm in Opelika should be underway Even though the owner is a foreign enterprise, the end result is that Lee County benefits. The Japanese have found some creative uses for the kudzu, and the golf course is something everyone can enjoy. Score one for Opelika - it recruited the Japanese investors. The SGA has rescinded its rule which required organizations seeking a charter to publish the names of its members in The Plainsman. Because of this, some groups, such as the East Alabama Gay and Lesbian Society, have been unable to receive a charter. Regardless of one's opinion about the group, it has a right to apply for a charter without embarrassing or endangering its members. McDonald's has stopped using plastic foam products. McYeah for the McEnvironment. f$ y - § Bright lights, beautiful city, big shame It was a night straight out of a novel. Clear and crisp, the lights shone on the dome of our nation's Capitol seemingly casting a white, pure light across the city. A few blocks from the Capitol, however, the effect of the Capitol and Mall dissipated completely. Streets were dirty, dark and inhabited by some who looked as if they had the qualifications for mayor (read as they looked to be the type to make drug deals). The reference to drug deals and Marian Barry is not racial in any way. Those who look the type to make drug deals are of any color. His arrest illustrates that those in Washington, DC, who want to do good, who want to clean up the city, have no motivation when their own leaders are getting arrested for dealing drugs. It's amazing that Washington Wade Williams Editor and New York, the two cities which should be the showpieces of the country, are the last two cities we should want visitors to see. Washington is a beautiful city - for about a five square block area. It has the highest crime rate of any city in the nation, though in terms of area it's not that big. As we walked down the Mall, we saw park police frequently, and although we felt more comfortable with them around, it is sad they are even needed. Questioning a park ranger at the Vietnam Memorial (an unbelievably touching sight), we were told they had been "lucky" this season; the nearby Lincoln Memorial had been vandalized only three times. Lucky? I'd say they had three times too many. It is unfathomable that someone could vandalize the Lincoln or Vietnam memorials. The park ranger did say the Vietnam Memorial doesn't get vandalized too often because the veteran groups who maintain a 24-hour vigil on the memorial tend to treat those who vandalize the Vietnam Memorial roughly. Unfortunately, outside of the Mall, where the police are most needed, they are less evident. On the positive side, the subways in Washington are amazingly clean and efficient. Although it was scary to walk the streets at night, the subways felt reasonably safe. One sure reason for the crime is the cost of living (the Cokes in the hotel were $1.25 and the Fig Newtons were $3). Seriously, there would be less crime if people could afford a place to live and buy a decent meal occasionally. Washington has a twofold problem. The tourists bring a lot of money to the city, money which could be used to improve the city. But instead, businesses within the city jack up their prices to make more profit from the tourists. By doing so, they hurt the local residents of Washington. The bottom line is, the city which could and should be the most beautiful, the pride of our county, is in fact largely a dirty, overpriced, crime-infested city of which we are embarrassed, not proud. Plainsman not exempt from censorship "Freedom of speech, yeah. Just watch what you say." — IceT Despite the good intentions of the writers of the Bill of Rights 200 years ago, censorship is still alive and well in the United States and even in The Plainsman office. Any time Moral Majority (which is neither moral nor a majority) or any other repressive group is offended by a song/show, picture, book or magazine, it lobbies to have it destroyed. What these people are usually objecting is life. While these people would like to deny it, things exist outside their five-bedroom houses that are ugly. Rather than explaining these things to their kids, they label them pornographic or obscene or just offensive. Sometimes their labels are correct. I don't like 2 Live Crew. Unlike Ice T and some other groups, the Crew, I think, is obscene just to be obscene rather than to make a point. However, I don't go out and tell other people not to listen to the Crew. I don't demand that the Crew is arrested, and its albums banned. I just don't buy the music. However, the censorship brigade targeted 2 Live Crew and tried to shut it off from the world. It made the Crew one of the hottest Greg Klein Sports Editor jm bands around. Instead of getting the Crew banned, they've got their 13-year-old daughters singing Crew songs. With all the problems of prude people trying to censor the country, one would think the backlash would spring up on campuses everywhere. Not here. Every week while trying to put out a sports page that Auburn students will find interesting and informative, I find myself defending my assistants, my staff writers and myself against censorship. Unfortunately, I usually lose. First, some ugly history. Last fall, while I was an assistant sports editor, I wrote a headline that can properly be called pornographic. While I don't want to repeat it here (and probably can't for that matter), it used a nickname for the University of South Carolina mascot, and another form of the word "win." Add the word "ladies" in front, and you've got women's basketball coach Joe Ciampi chasing the sports editor around the press box during last year's 'Bama game. A year of maturity has made me regret that headline, but it hasn't taken the microscope off my section. A few weeks ago the headline "Gamecocks excited about SEC entrance" was rejected because a happy chicken is obviously a pornographic chicken. Two weeks ago, a chunk was cut out from the Bo Jackson book review. The section was a direct quote from the book that talked about Jackson having sex. It used a four-letter word starting with "\" that I had never thought to be a "bad word." The point of having that section in was clear. Jackson has come a long way since he first came to Auburn. That's the reason the Birmingham Post-Herald and many other papers reprinted that section verbatim. The argument given to me was that Editor Wade Williams was responsible for everything in the paper. That's true. It's why we don't print libelous material. It doesn't explain why we couldn't run the excerpt with a warning to the easily offended. Maybe censorship isn't a great problem here yet. But if it continues on the course it is currently running, then a Plainsman chapter of Moral Majority could form at any time. Election promises not true By the time you read this, there will be no more political commercials, at least for a while. Thank God. I really hate those things, and it's not just that you know the politicians will never do anything they say. If s not that they're necessarily bad people. It's just not in their nature to actually do the things they say they will. But if you believe the ads, they will do everything they say and more. In fact, they would have us believe they are the ones to put this state back on track. After so many years of lies and electoral heartbreak, they expect us to believe them just because they are somewhat telegenic. The TV ads for the campaign have been horrendous. Especially the ones for the governor's race. As political ads are designed to do, they try to make their candidates look like God's salvation to humanity. That's not the problem. I expect that. The ads sell their candidates just as detergent commercials sell detergent and Michael Hatcher Staff Writer soap ads sell soap. Since we are talking about politicians, those are probably the wrong examples to use. These ads are obviously made with the brain-dead voter in mind. There's,no other explanation. They can't expect the voters to think that Guy Hunt will do anything for them. I'm sure he tries, but he's a laughingstock. The other governors call him "Gomer" behind his back, and progressive governors like Ray Mabus of Mississippi probably should call him that to his face. Why can't we ever get politicians like Mabus or Gov. Buddy Roemer of Louisiana? We always seem to get the ones who spit chewing tobacco or ride around in their pickup trucks with their gunracks and the bumper stickers that say things like, "If you can read this don't thank me" (especially appropriate for our governors). I'm not certain that Paul Hub-bert is any better. He'll probably put all teachers in his cabinet. And in the woeful state our educational system is in, do we really want that? I think not. Besides, Hubbert will probably try to get them all tenure, so no matter how bad they mess up, nothing can be done about it. But the ads are done in such a way so that you would think there will be no more families on the streets, everyone will get off welfare and Alabama will be hailed as the haven for education. However, it doesn't matter whether you voted for Hunt or Hubbert. The ads say we can't lose. They fail tonsay that we have no chance of winning. Thursday, November 8, 1990 A-7 Letters The Auburn Plainsman Guard policies create danger It was 4:30 p.m. on Oct.20, and Jordan-Hare Stadium was packed with football fanatics and sport fiends. "War Eagle" cries and Seminole chants had already begun. It was a typical Auburn vs. Florida State game. Anticipating a sellout crowd and limited seating, students began making their way to the Stadium as early as 3 p.m. for the evening game. With two or three hours to spare, fans were visiting the concession stands, admiring the tables full of football-game paraphernalia and, of course, making trips to the rest rooms. I suppose such time-consuming activities are allowed for fans who aren't students, but if you happened to carry that oh-so-valued student ID card that Saturday, you needed to stay glued to your seat - or just remain corralled in the student section. A friend and I decided to grab a Coke and visit the rest room before the crowds came. While we were out in the keep-the-fans-occupied area, the crowds came. So we fought through the orange, blue, maroon and gold hell and prepared to make our way back to our seats and our dates. We were fumbling through our purses looking for our IDs and tickets to show to the man who "guards" the entrance to the student section when I noticed the beginnings of a pretty nasty scene. The" gatekeeper" would not let anyone in through that particular passage. Half-drunk guys were screaming and becoming belligerent, and one student almost started crying. While the man with the power was attempting Sherri Chunn Assistant Arts & Leisure Editor to calm the ever-growing crowd, my friend sneaked by him and left me there to find another way into the student section and to my seat. I saw everyone getting panicky, so I attempted to remain calm thinking to myself that surely this man has a good reason for closing this entrance and directing the students to the next one. Without putting up a fuss, I, along with hordes of other students went to the next gate. No dice. Go to the next one, so we did. And it happened again. This time I was a little upset, so I asked the guard why they were closing the entrances. He said, "Because I said to." So I said,"Yes, I know, but why?" He said the passageways were becoming too crowded. (There was no one in the closed passages.) I suppose he thought it was better to rustle the students through one entrance (thaf s right, only one entrance was open) on the end zone and have them fight their way back to their seats which were about three gates down. It took me 30 minutes just to get back to my seat. I'm sure this happened to other people as well. The question remains: why did the guards do this? To protect us by sending three times too many people through one opening? If anyone has the answer to this question (particularly one of you guards), please give me an answer. Occurrences like this can lead to fights, injured people and bad memories. Race relations: a matter of respect Editor, The Plainsman: Good relations between the races come naturally when the simple truth is accepted that it is normal for people to have pride in and a preference for their own race in social and intimate relations, and this is honored. We do unto others as we would have then do unto us when we have high regard for all peoples and when we harmoniously work together and cooperate for mutual well-being but never insult anyone's honorable racial heritage, nor do anything that might adulterate their various distinctions. This understanding, demonstrated by mutual respect, good manners and helpfulness, brings racial harmony and lasting good will. T.J.Campbell Smyrna, GA Derby banning hurts good cause Editor, The Plainsman: It appears that Greek Week '91 will be the last one. I am assuming, of course, that sororities will be prohibited from participating because of its "unhealthy competitiveness" after the Sigma Chi fiasco. After witnessing the sororities being "torn apart" during Derby Week a few weeks ago, I am not surprised. I was there during most of the events and usually I could not even hear myself think because the screaming participants were showing their spirit. They were hardly tearing each other apart, but in the Auburn tradition of spirit, the girls were supporting their individual teams, and I do not understand how anything to the contrary could be read into that. T h e re was bowling night, an event from which alcohol was removed this year unless one simply wanted to buy it individually from the bar. There was field day, an event including the age-old tug-of-war that was simply enjoyable to watch, as well as to participate in. There were no bad feelings present. There was chorus line, an event in which the sororities had their own versions of singers like Madonna or even Elvis. All of these were definitely not destructive, demeaning or abusive, which are pre-requi-sites (in addition to promoting divisiveness and negative image of the Greek system) designated by the National Panhellenic Council for eliminating such activities. Sure, sororities are divided as separate groups in competition, but it is not negative. Sports are simply that way. As far as negative images are concerned, I fail to see how they are generated when sororities come together and raise money for our brother Jeff Kurtz, who is stricken with Hodgkins' Disease. Derby Week T-Shirt sales are a main contributor, which at $7 a pop add up when a few thousand are sold. We could not have raised that much money without the sororities' help and participation in Derby Week. And lastly, serenading the sorority dorms is an old-fashioned tradition that we can carry out any time, not just during Derby Week, so eliminating the girls' participation cannot eliminate that tradition. In addition, Jim O'Connor and Ned Cox, the Derby chairmen, worked extremely hard since last spring revising this and cutting out that in order to cooperate with Debbie Shaw and the Panhellenic Council. I would consider it unfair that their work go to waste after a 58-year-old nationwide tradition is ended here at Auburn. No hard feelings are intended to be inflicted by the article, but the brothers at Sigma Chi are hurt by the decision because Derby Week is an event eagerly anticipated every two years. Stephen B.

Quote of the week "Most theology departments would give their right arms to have Charles Curran." - Jordan Kur-land, associate general secretary of the American Association of University Professors, discussing its censure of Auburn. Florida State exercises more intimidation Editor, The Plainsman: I am writing in response to a letter in the Nov. 1, 1990, edition of The Plainsman written by Rick Robinson, a Florida State fan who insulted Auburn fans. First of all, I was a little surprised to see this letter because, frankly, most Auburn fans don't care what Florida State fans think about us. Secondly, for as long as I can remember Florida State fans have had a reputation of intimidating their opponents. Therefore, who is he to cry about our intimidation of them? I would also like to say that when it comes to their war chant, it is so dull and monotonous, booing was the best thing to ever happen to it. In conclusion, if this hole (excuse me, 'nole) wants to whine about the way Auburn fans treated Florida State fans maybe he should not attend any more Auburn vs. Horida State games (at least not in Auburn). Hub Donald 03 ME City government acts as own worst enemy Editor, The Plainsman: I would like to applaud the cautious tone The Plainsman used when discussing the proposed water park ("Opportunity park," Oct. 25). The editorial warned that mismanagement could leave Auburn "with an unsightly bit of progress that was not needed .enough to warrant further destruction of the look of the city or its fragile environment." The editorial suggested that the city must develop an Auburn "vision/ which includes something other than dollar signs and fast food establishments." Sadly, I fear that those beautiful words of wisdom will fall on deaf ears. A couple of years ago, the same developer who wants to build the proposed water park approached the city with a plan to cram a bunch of his "kiddie condos" into the residential neighborhood in the vicinity of the Unitarian Church on Thach Avenue. To go forward with this project, the developer needed an interpretation of existing ordinances which would have made the most unscrupulous city planner blush. The developer got the interpretation he needed. The outraged citizens in the neighborhood did what you are supposed to do when threatened by tyrannous acts by an unscrupulous city government. They organized, signed petitions, hired lawyers and went to City Hall and raised hell. 'Too bad," said the city. The residents then schlepped the city to court in Opelika, where even the notorious cronie of a judge had to rule against the city. The city still refuses to reimburse the residents for their legal expenses. In the Oct. 4 issue of The Plainsman, Council member Trey Johnston said about the developer, "We have someone who is locally responsible. I think they are serious about doing a good job." I think that anyone with any question about the quality of this developer's handiwork should take a trip down Burton Street where the developer has substantial property holdings. For those of us whose vehicles are not equipped with four-wheel drive, I recommend walking, with comfortable shoes. What had been one of Auburn's most charming neighborhoods is now the most glaring example of what is wrong" with our town's inner city. Clearly, I am not optimistic about the future of the west side of Auburn. I predict that by this time next year, the water park will be splashing with taco stands and reptile farms soon to follow. Maybe even a topless bar will open across the county line. The city of Auburn will continue its pursuit of the fast-buck without considering the human consequences or the reduction in quality of life of its citizens. This wreckless path of development will continue as long as Auburn's city government is controlled by its "mayor for life." Sadly, the best chance Auburn has for ridding itself of "her honor" will be when the inevitable economic recession hits. Only when hit in the pocket-book will residents of this town recognize the folly of being governed by the greedy. John C. Varner 06GHY Columnist creates own difficulties at library Editor, The Plainsman: We believe Shayne Bowman's column in last week's Plainsman, "Library staff lacks courtesy, knowledge," was misleading and contained a factual error. The root of the problem rests in Bowman's first three sentences. "It's 9:30 p.m. Thursday. My 20-source annotated bibliography is due tomorrow for political science class. I stroll into Ralph Draughon Library to collect my final two sources." Two weeks earlier, two librarians spent many hours preparing a presentation along with a list of sources to this very class, in order to give Bowman and his classmates an introduction to materials needed to complete their bibliographies; As in all library orientation sessions, we stressed that fewer staff members are available on weekends and nights, therefore library users will receive better assistance if they can come to the library during the day. We further pointed out that full-time staff members leave at 10 p.m., and that only part-time student assistants are available after that time. After talking to staff members, we found that it was after 10 p.m. when Bowman asked for help, not 9:30 p.m. Finally, we urged the class not to wait to seek assistance until just before the assignment was due. It is quite common for staff at a single reference desk to receive more than 20 questions an hour. To stretch these staff resources by asking personnel to stay until closing and still provide adequate reference coverage during the busier daytime hours is not practical. Nor is it possible for student assistants, many of whom work only 10 to 15 hours per week for a few quarters, to provide the same level of service as full-time staff with years of experience. If Bown^n feels he was treated rudely," we are sorry and we make no excuse for that, but we hope he has learned why his. class was warned of staffing' shortages and the perils of last-minute research. The library is responsive to suggestions, and comments on service can be made to department heads, to the library administration or placed in the suggestion box near the reserve desk on first floor. Incidentally, if anyone sees someone running around with the 400-pound microfiche cabinet Bowman says was missing, we'd like to know about it. Margaret K. Alexander Kevin L. Cook Paula A. Duffy Joyce Ledbetter T. Harmon Straiton, Jr. Marilyn A. Thomas Microforms and Documents Department Librarians*and Staff A-8 News The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, November 8,1990 SENATE continued from A-1 of Laws. "We realized they met all the requirements," said Beth Martin, chairman of the Board of Student Organizations, which brought the matter to the Senate but did not recommend probationary approval. "I think (the board members) were voting on their convictions," Martin said of the board's decision not to recommend the Gay and Lesbian Association. Grant Davis, director of student activities, initiated the discussion after the nay vote. "It is your responsibility to act prudently and responsibly and to serve the interest of all Auburn University students," Davis said. Davis urged the Senate to "give strong reconsideration" to the matter. Senator David Khoo opposed granting the charter and said, "I don't see why they have to meet here on campus." Jones said it is not right to discriminate against people. "God will judge them; we will not." SGA President Terry McCarthy and Vice President Merle Flowers indicated they were "very much in favor," McCarthy said, of approving the probationary charter. According to the Code of Laws, the probationary period lasts at least one year before an AAUP organization may be officially recognized and granted a charter. The Gay and Lesbian Association will not be required to submit the names of 15 members to The Auburn Plainsman for a minimum half-page ad, as was the case previously with probationary charters. Last week the Senate removed the section of the code which would have required the publication. Instead, the club continued from A-1 will send the names to Student Affairs. In other discussion, Paul Sykes, a senator on the Student Interest Committee, said there will be more bicycle racks on campus "hopefully by winter quarter." To fund the project, $2,000 has been requested from the Concessions Board, which Sykes said there is "a pretty good shot at getting." Sykes said Charlie Crawford, the superintendent of grounds at the facilities division, told him the chief considerations for placing the new racks are "impact on the landscape and pedestrian traffic flow." In other business, the duties of the secretary of political affairs, as outlined in the Code of Laws, were amended to include serving as head of the Elections Board and appointing an executive secretary to that board. HEYU.! Kurland said his letter to President James E. Martin last week called upon him to come forth with any sound academic reasons for the denial of tenure to Curran. Kurland said in a normal case of tenure denial, Martin would not be asked to give reasons for the denial, but he did so under the special circumstances of the Curran case. "Charles Curran burned some bridges to go to Auburn. The only proper thing to do is to give him an explanation. The whole situation is compounded by public statements made, especially those made by mem- FOAM continued from A-1 bie Folkerts, adviser to the Environmental Awareness Organization (EAO) in Auburn. During spring 1989, the EAO participated in McToxic Day sponsored by the Citizens Clearing House for Hazardous Waste, a national environmental awareness group. EAO members wrote letters to McDonald's national headquarters requesting that they change their packaging. At the Auburn McDonald's, EAO volunteers picketed and passed out flyers to customers. Most of the EAO members boycotted eating at McDonald's even before the McToxic Day, Folkerts said. EAO President Lynn Nichols said McDonald's decision to abandon polystyrene packaging is a victory for environmentalists. "This is an example of grassroots activism when a large corporation such as McDonald's responds to consumer groups like the EAO," Nichols said. "With McDonald's being the largest fast-food chain around the world, maybe the switch to environmentally safe packaging will make others take notice," Nichols said. Tibor R. Machan, philosophy professor and an expert on marketing and business, said McDonald's realized the public preferred using paper over foam. "It was a good business decision to make the change, but it had little to do with the environment," Machan said. He said he sees the switch as a "proper response to the people with whom they do business." The decision to change was probably based on market research, Machan said. Jim Harris, associate professor of marketing, said, "The decision to make the switch is a reactive response to consumer pressure. It would have been a better marketing strategy for McDonald's to have been proactive and made the change before consumers put pressure on them." - * - * bers of the Board of Trustees that cast a cloud of question on the climate of academic freedom at Auburn," he said. "The administration should speak to remove that cloud." Curran called the AAUP to discuss Auburn before accepting the position, Kurland said. "Most theology departments would give their right arms to have Charles Curran. But boards and presidents are sticking together on this and won't touch him. "This (fear of Curran's controversial nature) has extended past the world of Catholic higher education and has occurred ZONE at Auburn. That is pretty sad," he said. Kurland said in order to be removed from the AAUP's censure list, Auburn will need to redress the original incident, alter its regulations and reform its policies to prevent future incidents. "There are only two possible courses of action: Either come up with a satisfactory answer or properly offer retention with definite tenure," he said. In a telephone interview Tuesday, Kurland said he received the response letter from the University, in which continued from A-1 Review. Fox said he conducted a meeting with residents to dispel fears and questions about the proposal on Oct. 4. Residents were concerned with his original plan for a lake to prevent drainage problems. "The neighbors are scared their kids will get in there and drown. ...(Also) if you are going to build a lake, the trees must come down," Fox said. To appease adjoining property owners, alleviate excess drainage and save as many trees as possible, Fox said he will install a catchment pond. Because .he pond will remain dry until a lvrd rainfall, which may come twioe a year, more trees will survive. City Engineer Rex Griffin said with the dry pond concept, the retention area is landscaped 99 percent of the time. This will enable revegitation and replanting of trees. Although the final evaluation of the drainage situation is incomplete, Griffin said he thinks it will be "nothing unusual." "(Traffic) is going to have an impact, but it is not going to be severe," Griffin said. An access from Thach and a right of way to Glenn will keep traffic to a minimum, Fox said. Fox hired Hudson, Geci & Home Engineers, Inc. of Auburn to conduct a traffic impact study. In a letter to Fox, President Byron M. Hudson said, "Our study indicates no significant traffic network impacts should be expected as a result of your project." Juster said a traffic report allows the planning department to recognize "any change to the traffic system, and if in fact you find that those effects occur, you can require the developer to incur those costs." When the planning department receives a rezoning request, the staff collects all pertinent information about the proposal site and surrounding areas and gives it to the commission, Juster said. A public hearing is conducted before the commission, and concerned groups may debate the issue. Gene A. Bramlett, commission chairman, said, "If there is any valid reason to prohibit a project, we will do what we have in our power to prohibit it." So far, there have been no substantial reasons, but the information is not yet complete, he said. "We are guided by the ordinance itself. It is the law. The law gives us flexibility to use judgment," he said. "We have to be careful in our final decisions so we can be legally defensible." The commission adopts a resolution which contains its recommendation to City Council. Regardless of the recommendation, City Council holds a public hearing and takes action. More often than not the council accepts the commission's suggestion, Juster said. "The planning staff recommended, in this case, applying the criteria for rezoning, that the site in their judgment met these criteria," Juster said. But the final commission decision was delayed until the Triannual Review. History professor Allen Jones said, "It will ultimately lower the value of our property." Jones lives at 102 N. Ryan Street, which backs up to the undeveloped area. "They don't plan any real neighborhoods in Auburn. This town looks awful," Jones said. "(The developer needs to) look around the city and see what else is there. "The Planning Commission and City Council say, 'The more we build, the more taxes we receive,'" Jones said. "Best performance means what produces the most money and what can be had out of the land." Bramlett said, "It is not clear if these people are against this project or one in general. "On the face of it, it doesn't seem to be a bad development for that area. (But) we need to see if we are maintaining our buffers between zones," Bramlett said. With at least eight current commitments to buy a piece of the 21-lot development, Fox said there are many positive aspects about this site. The impact on the Auburn economy will be "considerable." Approximately 200 people will eventually be employed in the professional park, he said. Students and Auburn residents would be closer to specialized medicine. "It has not yet been determined what we will do if this (site) fails," Fox said. "We are optimistic that this property will be rezoned and the subdivision will be approved." Cascade Partners, Ltd. includes Drs. Emil F. Wright Jr., William E. Mock and Bertrand M. Anz. Thomas Samford, general counsel, said the University will not respond further until the Senate completes its investigation. "I am somewhat surprised to receive the response from the general counsel for the University," Kurland said. "We raised no legal questions at all. Hearing from an attorney rather than an academic representative is a bit unusual." He said the AAUP is also awaiting the results of the investigation.

"We've turned a detriment into an asset," David Thornell, executive director of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, said. Thornell traveled to Japan a year ago with Opelika Mayor Bobby Freeman to attract industry to this area. Sakae Bio Inc., a division of the Japanese company Inoue Tengyokudo and Co., has purchased 165 acres just south of Opelika between Highways 77 and 80 to experiment with kudzu cultivation. Hayoto Inoue, president of Sakae Bio and its parent company, made the announcement in Opelika early last month. Thornell said the company will "hopefully establish an office by the end of the year" and begin operation. Jeff Clary, county agent coordinator at the Lee County Extension Service, said the Japanese extract a starch similar to corn starch from kudzu roots. Thornell said Sakae Bio has a two-phase plan for the farm. In the first phase, kudzu will be planted to experiment on the feasibility of cultivation, and tests of the starch extraction process will be made on wild strains. In the second phase, which should begin within two years, provided the first phase succeeds, a processing facility will be built to extract the starch on a commercial level. All the roots and starch will be exported to Japan, but if both phases are successful, Sakae Bio will investigate the possibility of marketing the starch in the United States. Jim Miller, a research forester with the United States Forest Service, said the starch is extracted by a non-chemical process involving a centrifuge. According to a release from Sakae Bio, the by-products of the process are a nutrient-rich waste water, which Koreans drink as "a sort of root beer" and a high-density fibrous material, which is woven into fabric.

It can be used as gravy thickener. Ramon Scott Assistant Photo Editor In the 1930s it was a savior, but today people see it as art, food, profit - or just a nuisance. Kudzu has received much attention in the Auburn-Opelika area since the announcement that the world's first kudzu farm will be rooted here. "A profitable use for kudzu is kind of a new twist," David Thornell, executive director of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, said. But the plant is no stranger to new twists. Jeff Clary, county agent coordinator at the Lee County Extension Service, said the Japanese have recognized kudzu's value for over 2,000 years, using it for many food products including starch, a root beer-type drink, tea and a number of sweets. The plant was introduced to the United States in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. But instead of being recognized as a food product, if was hailed as a promising solution to erosion problems in the South. Bill Ray, owner of Ray Farms in Lafayette, discovered kudzu's land-saving properties for himself in the 1930s. "Our land was washing away. There were huge gullies everywhere," Ray said. He said the land was mostly open fields ripe for erosion, but kudzu turned those lands around.

The program assigns each of Auburn's 30 fraternities to one of three elementary schools one week per quarter, IFC adviser Tim Hebson said. "During the time they are there, they tutor, provide reading assistance, help in athletics or just do anything the teachers want them to do," Hebson said. "Some of them carved pumpkins last week." Jim Douglas, assistant superintendent of Auburn city schools, said, "We feel the program will help our students a lot because there are very few males in the elementary schools." There is one male teacher in the city's elementary schools. "Some of these kids come from broken homes or for some other reason don't have a father figure. So fraternity members help them out, and they look up to them," IFC President Sean Thomas said. The program, which began last month, has been "fantastic," Dean Road Elementary Principal June Spooner said. "It is good to have all these males in the building working with the children. The kids love it," Spooner said. Art by Bob Atkins "It gives them an opportunity for one-on-one tutoring, and it gives them a good self-concept building experience because they are with college students who are good role models for them to relate to." Douglas said, "I heard one of the kids say, 'Hey, I've got a cool dad for the day.' It's gone really well." Fraternity members also feel the program is a success. Kappa Alpha fraternity member Scott Smith said, "All the kids come up and hug you and have a real good time. We told a Halloween story, and the kids just piled all over us." Sigma Chi President David McNeely said, "They were very receptive. They called me Mr. David." In addition to helping the students, the program allows the fraternities to promote their images in the community. "AH (that) most community members associate fraternities with are noisy parties, but now the kids go home and tell their parents that a fraternity member helped them in school, which helps change the parent's concept of fraternities," Hebson said. Absenteeism is a problem so far, Thomas said, but that can be resolved if the fraternities do their part. "We've got to make sure we fulfill our obligation to them. If s not all perfect, but we've got to make sure we do our part," Thomas said. IFC's Adopt-A-School is part of a nationwide program sponsored by the state Department of Education and involves volunteers from businesses and organizations. More than 2,200 fraternity members will spend time with the 1,500 students at Dean Road, Wright's Mill and Cary Wood elementary schools. Thomas said, "The NIC (National Interfraternity Conference) has expressed interest in making this a nationwide program, so we are standing on the forefront of a great thing," Hebson said the NIC has already contacted him about the program, and the conference plans to do an article about the program in its national magazine. -_ ,M 3(eep our campus presentaBCe.

At about 7 p.m., station employees noticed the transmission meters indicating the station was not sending out signals, show engineer Huey Gardner said. "It only took a few minutes to get back on the air after we realized the problem. It's hard to say when power was cut, but we know it was broadcasting at 6 p.m.," he said. Chief Engineer Dale Courtney said, "The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) requires that we control and monitor what the transmitter is doing at all times." Station Manager Van Tilbury said a power surge in Haley Center is believed to have tripped the Haley Center transmitter, resulting in transmission interruption. Courtney said there is a phone in the control room so disc jockeys can make calls to hook up the transmitter when problems occur. "It's just one of those things.

Martin's house Nov. 1 to discuss various issues, including a possible tuition increase, campus crime and the current hiring freeze. "Going to the president's house each fall allows students to voice their opinions to ensure that the administration is aware of student concerns," SGA President Terry McCarthy said. Martin first discussed WEGL improvements, computers on campus, the new core curriculum and laws requiring release of campus crime statistics. . . "•/. about the University's current "I am especially concerned / am especially COflCemed aOOUt thejt at policy regarding hiring new about theft at Auburn. Recently, Auburn.

The situation will Regarding an important move the administration will make on Nov. 9, Martin told students that a 10 percent increase in tuition will be recommended to the Board of Trustees. "We still have to pay the bills," he said, "especially the utility bills." In an update regarding facilities division, the president mentioned several current projects. While intramural lighting, the new amphitheater and library renovation to the old wing were reported as completed or on time, Martin said the progress of the new aerospace engineer-amount of theft of small items.' —James E. Martin ing building is "way behind schedule." Biggio Drive, which runs adjacent to the intramural fields, has been a concern of the past three SGA senates. "We hope to get (the road paved) within the next year," Martin said. The project was not started until all lights were in place, he said. The building of the natatori-um, a modern swim complex, was voted on by students in April 1987, accompanied by a $7 tuition increase for all students during the next 15 years. The project will "be bid in the next 60 days, and according to Mr. (Stan) Drake, will be completed well before 1993," Martin said. During the question and answer session following the president's address, students expressed concerns relating to their positions on campus. Traci Bryant, graduate school senator, asked the president exist until $1.5 million dollars is saved on payroll," Martin said. Michael Holt, SGA director of Eagle Escorts, said he is concerned about the new program designed to escort dorm residents back to campus dormitories. Holt's inquiry regarded the possibility of compensation for those participating. Pat Barnes, vice president for student affairs, responded to Holt's question, citing the already tight controls on Uni-. versity payroll and the program's basis of volunteer participation. Beth Crain, president of the College of Business, asked Martin about the 15-hour full-time student requirements while no major offered at Auburn could be completed in a 12-quarter period, given that constraint. "The rationale is that is what is considered a full-time student by the state," Martin said. Peter Baljet, SGA secretary for political affairs, said a performing arts complex is needed, and he asked when the project would receive priority. Martin cited construction currently taking place on campus. "$160 million dollars has been spent on building since I arrived. Of that, only $16 million has come from the state," Martin said.

Fred Moreno, director of public affairs for the College Board, said the new SAT will be used for more than admission purposes. "It will aid in placement of students and counseling once they attend college," he said. Director of Admissions Charles Reeder said suggestions that the old SAT was discriminatory toward women and minorities were speculative. Moreno said the SAT had no discriminatory elements. "The SAT reflects what the students know. It doesn't show who they are, but what each person brings to the test," he said. The studies on the new SAT began about three and a half years ago, Moreno said, and 106,000 students and educators were involved in the changes. "Students and teachers took test samples and gave opinions about the new test," he said. The scoring method will not change, he said. However, the new test will be significantly different. There will be much more critical reading comprehension in the English section, and vocabulary questions will be in context, Moreno said. Analogy questions will still be included, but antonym questions will be removed. In the math section, calcula- 'The message we want to send to the students is that if they're considering going to college, they need to brush up on their math and English skills.' — Fred Moreno tors will be allowed, Moreno said. Twenty percent of the questions will require students to give written answers without multiple choice. Some mathematical analysis will involve the use of math in real-life situations, he said. Another addition to the SAT will be the SAT-II to be phased in next year. The SAT-II is an optional test that requires writing essay-type answers instead of multiple choice answers.

Chapter recognized nationally McCall Campbell Staff Writer The Auburn chapter of the International Society for Hybrid Microelectronics(ISHM) has received national recognition. Wayne Johnson, Auburn professor and ISHM adviser, was named the national president at the ISHM Annual Symposium in Chicago Oct. 15-17. The chapter also won first place for the student display competition, Johnson said. "We have the best university hybrid lab in the country," Johnson said. Out of 28 student chapters, nine competed in the display competition. The chapters were judged on the quality of the display and student interviews, Johnson said. Seven Auburn students attended, and Ellen Thomas and Kevin Robb, both graduate students in electrical engineering, presented papers. The 70 members of ISHM's Auburn chapter sponsor activities such as seminars on hybrids, social functions, field trips to hybrid manufacturing companies and work in specific design projects, Johnson said. Beth Richardson, 04 EE, a member of the chapter said it is comprised of electrical engineering majors with a few physics, material engineering and mechanical engineering majors. The chapter does experiments and intense research of hybrids. A hybrid is "a manufacturing technology for combining two or more semi-connection devices to provide an electronic function," Johnson said. The chapter is studying electronic circuits at high temperatures, high power electronics, high frequency application and novel manufacturing techniques, Johnson said. The national organization of ISHM was founded in 1967. Today it has 6,000 members. The society was established "for advancement and dissemination of knowledge relating to hybrid electronics," Johnson said. © CALL: FREE DELIVERY 826 745 -PIES 1 large Tiger Pie is greater than 2 large Domino's Pizzas! $5.00 Off Just call and order a delicious 20" pizza with two or more items.

Through a policy adopted by the commission in May 1987, the program is part of "a continuous program review process to improve the quality of academic programs and to demonstrate accountability for state resources," according to reports. Auburn has submitted a revision of program inventories, or "a list of all programs offered from bachelor's to Ph. D," Jack E. Blackburn, associate vice president of academic affairs, said. The commission will meet Nov. 19 to decide which departments need further review according to certain criteria, Minnie Lamberth, public information officer for ACHE, said. The criteria are based on the annual average of degrees awarded by each department from 1984 to 1989. . "If a program falls below the given numbers, it is subject to program review," Blackburn said. Auburn has given the commission recommendations for the deletion of some programs in which no students are enrolled. Such programs, he said, are often formed when there is a need for them in a particular curriculum at the time, and then shifts in interest or lack of need causes programs to become obsolete. The first phase of the review is expected to be completed by January 1991, Lamberth said. Blackburn, however, said it will not be completed until spring or summer. "Everyone is way behind with it," he said. Phase two is designed to further review departments recommended by Phase one. "Phase two could take three to four years to complete," Lamberth said. Final recommendations from the commission will be "to either continue the program with or without stipulations or to discontinue the program through some type of orderly phase out process," reports said. Lamberth said, "We (ACHE) don't have the authority to close programs. It would be up to them(institutions) to follow our recommendations." Reports from ACHE officials said, "We hope the outcome of this process will result in improved quality and efficiency of instructional programs in the state."

Board to discuss tuition increase Mary Omdorff and Elizabeth Lander Staff Writers The Board of Trustees will discuss a proposal Friday which could result in a tuition increase for the 1991-92 academic year. The board's five-member budget committee will recommend a gradual tuition increase in accordance with the inflation rate, Jack Venable, committee chairman, said Tuesday. "I prefer that an increase be reconsidered annually rather than an 11 percent increase one year and nothing the next," Venable said. "We (the entire board) have discussed this just briefly," he said. "We will try to take the best figure we can get and go with it." Although President James E. Martin told student leaders last week that a 10 percent increase will be recommended to the board, Venable said his committee is working toward 5-8 percent. Venable said he would like tuition to equal 30 percent of the state's funds or charge $30 for every $100 worth of credit hours.

Gay a n d Lesbian charter Ramon Scott Assistant Photo Editor The SGA Senate decided by secret ballot Monday to give the Auburn Gay and Lesbian Association a probationary charter. The vote overturned the Senate's original vote of 14-13 against, with one abstention. The decision was reversed 16- 7, with four abstentions following a period of debate. "This is obviously a controversial issue," Senator Susannah Jones, said. Before the first vote, Jones gave the association's qualifications, and said it had a "right" to a probationary charter.

AAUP questions Martin's actions University's reply elicits surprise; association anticipates results Wade Williams Editor WASHINGTON, D.C - Auburn's progress toward being removed from the American Association of University Professors' (AAUP) censure list has been hindered by the denial of tenure to the Rev. Charles Curran, one of the AAUP officers said here Friday. "In a couple of previous instances where an institution was a locus of development (in tenure issues), it has caused major concern. "In those cases, the AAUP has had more to say in a separate report. You might anticipate something like that with the Curran case," said Jordan E. Kurland, associate general secretary of the AAUP. Auburn's censure by the AAUP began in 1983 after music instructor Lida Mayfield was denied tenure. Mayfield alleged tenure was denied because of her sex and handicap. Kurland said there has been good progress with bringing the rules and regulations of the Universir ty in line with the policies of the AAUP. "Auburn is on the list as a result of-the Mayfield case, a case which she (Mayfield) lost resoundingly-in court. The AAUP never accused Auburn of acting illegally, but unprofessionally. "Even though it won the case, Auburn hasn't closed the door (on the changes)," Kurland said. "Auburn is supposed to have a commitment to uphold academic freedom. I'm not sure it has been upheld in the Curran case," he said.

The Auburn McDonald's on 244 W. Magnolia Ave. is in the process of phasing out the polystyrene packaging and converting to paper. The owner, Richard Heckler, said during the next 60 days, 75 percent of the foam packaging for sandwiches and other items will be changed to paper wrappers. "McDonald's has always been committed to environmentally sound business policies. We are in the business to satisfy our customers," Heckler said. "Our customers want their food to be hot and fresh, and the polystyrene containers enabled McDonald's to do just that. Paper wrappers cannot keep Proposed medical park sparks concern Martha Cronk Associate Editor f Some residents fear rezoning a 23-acre tract in Auburn may bring a more commercial project if the proposed professional park is not constructed. The land in question is between Glenn and Thach avenues and Brookwood Drive and Ryan Street. Fred Fox, general partner of Cascade Partners, Ltd., said, "We propose a very low-density subdivision with very expensive buildings - a professional office r rk mainly forimedical profes-sionals." The complex would be named University Center Professional Park. Don Vives of 132 S. Brook-wood Drive said, "I think the proposal...would be a reasonable thing to do. ...(But) once it is rezoned, it can be used for a lot of things that...would be objectionable in this part of town. I am very leery of the proposal if it is rezoned." Fox said, "As a matter of public policy, I believe it would be in the public interest that the city of Auburn have an ordinance that allowed conditional zoning^' City Planning Director Robert J. Juster said conditional zoning would allow the property to revert to the previous zone if the proposed project failed. This would control speculation and ensure applicants have a specific project in mind. The Auburn Planning Commission will examine conditional zoning at the Triannual Review this month. The land currently zoned as development district - housing must be changed to development district for this project. Since this land was originally zoned, Glenn has been widened, apartment projects have been built and Lakeview Baptist Church has acquired land in the area, Juster said. "The (planning) staff recommended... in that vicinity, that the best way to handle the request was to look at the entire area," he said. This includes Glenn to Thach avenues and Debardeleben Street to Dean Road. At the Oct. 11 Auburn Planning Commission meeting, it was agreed to look at the whole area during the Triannual See ZONE, A-8 food as warm or as fresh as foam containers, and is not as durable either. "McDonald's didn't want to give their customers paper wrappers that food can leak through. The reason why it's taken us some time to make the change is because we had to develop a new insulated layered paper wrapper," Heckler said. The paper wrapper McDonald's is planning to switch to will be coated with wax, making it non-biodegradable. Heckler said the federal Food and Drug Administration prohibits the use of recycled paper to be used as food wrappers because it is not sanitary. "McDonald's made the big switch from foam to paper wrappers because of consumers' demands, not because of the harmful effect of the CFCs (chlo-roflourocarbons) in Styrofoam on the environment," said Deb- See FOAM, A-8 This Week... t News Briefs A-2 Inside Auburn A-3 Campus Calendar A-2 Editorials A-6 Letters A-7 Other Campuses A-14 Classifieds A-16,17 Marquee B-2 Funky Tiger B-8 Life in Hell B-8 Weather Partly cloudy through the weekend.

This scene is familiar to the University stu- ; dents enlisted in the reserves and on alert to take part in Operation Desert Shield. "I've heard from my battery gunnery sergeant that there is a pretty good chance that it's not a matter of if we'll go; it's a matter of when we'll go," said Marine Reservist David McNeely, 04 FI, an assistant operations chief for fire direction control of the 4th Marine Division in Bessemer. The number of Auburn students who may go to Saudi Arabia is difficult to compute since these students come from various units. Some of these students are quarters away from graduation. If they are called to active duty, their education will be put on hold. Pat Barnes, vice president of student affairs, said a new University policy has been set to accommodate these students. The policy states that any student who is passing a course and has completed all requirements except the final exam will be assigned the grade he has earned. When the student returns to campus, he can take the final exam to improve his grade. • If the student has completed the course requirements but is failing, he will receive an "X" and will be permitted to take the final exam upon his return. Any student called to active duty before completing the course requirements will be assigned an "X" and will be permitted to complete the course when he returns. This policy may affect Richard Mullins, 04 AC, who is on alert with the Army National Guard unit in Griffin, Ga., and Newnan, Ga. "Right now, I'm just going day by day," Frank Sandrock, 02 MIS, prepares to leave for Saudi Arabia at a moment's Staff photo by Ian Droves notice. Sandrock is a member of the Alabama National Guard. Mullins said. "I have no doubt that I will be going, and I think before Christmas. But since I didn't know what was going to happen, I signed up for classes, and everything's packed up and ready to go." Sgt. Ray McBurney of the Army National Guard's 167th Material Management Center in Opelika said eight students are enlisted in his unit. Because of the uncertainty of the situation, he said, students should remain in school. Some of these students seem worried that with the current threat of war, Congress may enact the War Powers Act. This law states that in time of conflict, the military can hold reservists on active duty for up to two years. And that could mean a two-year delay in someone's education. "I'm sure they all will be affected; they just will react differently," McBurney said. "But I do have one in the unit who said to me, This is really disrupting my life.'" With this exception, McBurney said his students have expressed neither great reluctance nor a desire to get out of the reserves. A student can be released from the reserves as long as his unit is not on alert. Col. Ralph LeBlanc, commander of the Auburn University Air Force ROTC, said he does not want to hear complaints from anyone called to active duty. "As far as I'm concerned, all active-duty military, National Guard and reserve units are getting paid to train in the event of just such a world situation as this," LeBlanc said. 'They should be ready for it, and if they don't like it, they should get out." McNeely, who is 20 hours from graduation after this quarter, said he keeps a positive attitude. "They helped pay for school, so I can't complain," McNeely said. Although students may be enlisted in units all over the the country, they experience similar preparation and training when put on alert. "We go through all records and make sure that their physicals are current," McBurney said. "They then have the opportunity to have wills, the power of attorney and their checks directly deposited." They then begin to train in survival skills as well as prepare equipment to be shipped overseas. When all preparation is complete, they return to their daily routines and wait to be further notified. Preparation at school is minimal, however Students are instructed to keep up with the news and uphold their financial responsibilities.

But homecoming campaigns began long before the official * start Sunday. Allison Lehr, 1989 homecoming campaign manager, said the «key was to start early. "Immediately, we called for billboard locations, escorts and , scheduling for appearances," Lehr said. "Committees and committee heads were told what to do, and thaf s how we got it done," she said. Elections Board began its work before this week by interviewing candidates and approving all that goes into a * campaign. Kristi Stillwell, director of elections, said billboards, colors, •posters, marquees, concourse time, slide location and store windows must be approved , before campaigns start. Stillwell said that, unlike Auburn, the University of * Alabama allows anyone to write an essay and to be interviewed. Ten girls are then selected by a vpanel, and they do not campaign. "I like our system better. I »know it's hectic on E-Board members and the groups that help the girls, but the candidate .gets a better feel for Auburn," Stillwell said. "Students can see the girl and decide who to vote .for."

"I feel like I gained a lot of friends. Even though I may not remember the names, I remember the friendly faces," Woodruff said. "I enjoyed every minute of it. It's a once in a lifetime thing." Candidates for this year said they looked forward to meeting and seeing the organizations on campus. Patricia Barineau, 03 FLTF, said, "When I was a freshman, I remember candidates who I felt I could approach as a good friend. "I hope after campaigns, I would have an impact on people so they can rely on me," she said. Jackie Boswell, 03 AC, said, "I like how campaigns are held because it gives people the chance to get to know you. "I expect to get to know more people and learn a lot about Auburn," Boswell said. Stephanie Perry, 04 MT, said, "I've been a candidate before, and youmeet a lot of people. "Being escorted for four days is great, and you get to know them," Perry said. "That week you go through and see what people do at Auburn for just a few seconds." Katie Prather, 04 MIS, said, "I'm really honored to be up for Miss Homecoming, but I'm much more excited about hanging out with people during the week than campaigning for myself. "I want students to remember me as just another student on campus," Prather said. Kristi Vice, 04 NUR, said, "I'm a senior in nursing school, and those are the only people you're around. "This is my chance to meet so many different types of people," Vice said. Elections will be today from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ballot boxes will be placed at about 30 locations around campus. The winner will be announced at halftime during Saturday's game. " " ^ ODK Cake Race offers winners food, kisses Katherine Perry Staff Writer Auburn alumnus Marshal Caley ran in the first Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) Cake Race in 1928. He returned from California last year and again this year to run the race and to help continue the ODK Cake Race tradition. The race was Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at the Wilbur Hutsell Varsity Track. Coach Wilbur Hutsell held the first ODK Cake Race in 1928 to help find talent for his track team. With that race, Hutsell established a tradition that has lasted 62 years. The race is sponsored every year during homecoming week by ODK Leadership Honorary. ODK said its goal for the race is to attract more participants each year and to keep the race going. Last year more than 337 participants ran. Auburn track coach Mel Rosen said the race has been kept alive because of tradition. "Tradition has gone by the wayside," he said. "This race is one of the last traditions Auburn has been able to hold." Phillip Ratcliff, 04 GRT, co-chairman of the race, said the race was popular in 1928, but then interest dropped. Now, the popularity has risen again, he said. 'The race is not a fundraiser," Ratcliff said. All T-shirts and cakes are donated by the Alumni Association, he said. The winners' trophies are donated by ODK, and the race Auburn dancers travel overseas Leigh Ann Lane Staff Writer Set ODK, A-18 Coordination, dedication and a lot of hard work have given Tiger Pause the opportunity to perform in Frankfurt, Germany, during spring break. Tiger Pause Coordinator Nicole Parker said the dance team was invited to Germany by the World League of American Football. Auburn's dance team has never been invited overseas, she said. The team will be in Germany for one week performing for football teams from all around the world. Krista Ackerbloom, a Tiger Pause member for two years, said, "Memphis State has been No. 1 for so long, and they're always invited to go places. "When we were invited, I felt our team was being recognized as the same class as Memphis State. I was so proud." Mary Beth Transue, a new member of Tiger Pause, said, "I've never been overseas. It's been a great honor to be picked. "I'm excited we get to represent Auburn so far away. It will be exciting to perform for people who might not be used to that kind of entertainment." B.J. Adamson, captain of Tiger Pause, said, "It's one of the biggest honors we've ever had. "We'd like support from students and alumni. Not only will they support Tiger Pause, but Auburn University." Tiger Pause is asking for donations for the trip. The women need $30,000 to make the trip, ft Staff photo by John Roper Tiger Pause members practice for a trip to Germany. In order to raise money, Parker said, "We are writing letters to companies and basketball scholarship donors. "We'd even like support from businesses because anything will help," she said. Tiger Pause consists of 16 women who are selected in the spring. The members perform during basketball half-time shows, doing what they call "contemporary funk dancing."

The program allows returning Peace Corps volunteers to pursue a master's degree in education, College of Education Dean Richard C. Kunkel said. New York City's Columbia University Teachers College is the other university in the country actively participating in the program that was organized in 1985, Kunkel said. By 1992, Peace Corps officials hope to have more than 20 universities participating. "Auburn became connected with the program as a direct result of the Peace Corps director, Paul Coverdell, choosing us as one of the institutions to invite," Kunkel said. "He was so interested in us being fel-lowed, he came here himself three or four months ago and visited President Martin, Dr. Henry and me. "Our program at Auburn is unique in that the volunteers will be working in rural school districts where there is a problem attracting math, science and foreign language teachers," Kunkel said. The program will enlarge the pool of teachers in the schools and help those who have had Peace Corps experience teaching in other countries to get licensed to teach in the state. It will also give former volunteers an opportunity to work in communities in rural Alabama, he said. To qualify for a fellowship, the volunteer must be nearing the end of a two year stint in the corps and planning to pursue a master's degree. Kunkel said qualified candidates have to apply to the graduate school and be accepted as any other potential graduate student. "In our case, they will be involved in our fifth year program which enables a student with a undergraduate degree in majors other than education to return to college for a master's in education. This helps them become licensed to teach. "A volunteer participating in the Peace Corps Fellows/USA program here at Auburn will teach at a rural school during the day and attend classes at night and during the summer. They will be required to teach two more years in the rural school after receiving their master's degree," Kunkel said. Andrew Weaver, head of the department of curriculum and teaching, said, "We hope to have some students in the program by the 1991 summer quarter." William Baird, assistant professor of curriculum and teaching, and his wife were Peace Corps volunteers in Micronesia from 1968 to 1970 and taught English as a second language. "I think this program is a wonderful way to use our land-grant universities to accomplish domestic objectives. It will bring volunteers to us as defined by the needs of the United States," Baird said.

"He was found last January in Lake Gun-tersville with a gunshot wound," Theresa Robinson, 04 VM, said. The Alabama Wildlife and Rescue Service brought the golden eagle to the Auburn veterinary clinic Sept. 24, she said. "He is a threatened species ...he's one step below the bald eagle, but more common in this area," she said. "He had a broken wing. He didn't require surgery, but he was cage rested. Like athletes, if they just sit around, they lose their condition. "Aquila is an aggressive bird toward people, which is what we want him to be," Robinson said. David Hannon, co-director of the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Program, said, "We keep the least human contact as possible in order to minimize stress and because this is a releasable bird." Robinson said, "We (Raptor Rehabilitation) take in any injured raptors, including hawks, eagles, falcons, vultures and owls. "We don't raise them because thaf s illegal. It's illegal to even have a feather from one of these birds because they (authorities) don't know if you shot it or just found it," she said. Raptor staff members usually place baby birds in the same cages with mature birds of the same species, Hannon said. It helps the baby identify with the bird species instead of humans. If the bird identifies with human beings, it relies on them for food and is not capable of surviving in the wild and therefore is not releasable, he said. The program has a "kill cage" where live rodents are placed to test the birds' abilities to kill prey. "We can't release the birds until we know they can kill," he said. Once the bird has passed this test, as well as 10 flights of at least 100 yards each, the bird is then releasable. "We get about 100 birds in a year and release about one-third of them. That's about average," Britt Blake Staff Writer Staff photo.by Paige Wooldridge Aquila, a golden eagle, rehabilitates to soon be returned to the wilderness. Hannon said. "The ones that don't die, we sometimes have to put them down. If a bird has an injured leg, we have to amputate. It's cruel to keep a bird with one leg because he can't function," he said. The program tries to find facilities, such as Camp ASCCA's wildlife facility, for the birds which are not releasable. "We get attached to the unreleaseable birds," Hannon said. All the birds in the raptor program have names and special characteristics. The program's main goal is to educate people, especially children, on the laws regarding these animals, Robinson said. "We want to teach them at a young age that it's illegal to shoot these animals," she said. "A majority of our injured birds have been hurt by humans." Fifty four student volunteers help take care of the 22 birds in the program, Hannon said. "Everyone seems to enjoy coming out here; it's something different from vet school." The Raptor program plans to release Aquila next January after making sure he is capable of surviving in the wild. Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine will dedicate a new imaging center Nov. 18 that will be one of the few of its kind in the nation. The center is expected to draw nationwide attention because of the additional facilities, Jan E. Bartels, director of the center and head of the radiology department, said; The Holland M. Ware Imaging Center features an advanced cancer lab, a nuclear medicine lab and equipment such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized axial tomography (CAT scan). "In the past we've had to go to East Alabama Medical Center. We have not had the availability of MRI facilities. Having it right within the confines of the department of radiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine is going to help clientele, veterinary faculty and researchers," Bartels said. "We're combining sophisticated high-tech pieces of equipment with what's already existing, which was good to start with. "Our radiographic facility was as good as you could get it. We're combining that with three or four other modes of imaging so we'll have a comprehensive, up-to-date imaging facility," he said. The new imaging center will give researchers the equipment they need to further studies in animal diseases, he said. "It gives us a fantastic opportunity to look at all orthopedic diseases and opens up a whole realm of disease processes associated with the brain (including) Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and neuromuscular diseases," Bartels said. With better equipment to do research in diagnosing and treating animals, researchers can learn more about how diseases such as cancer affect humans, he said. "Cancer occurs at the same rate, in the same age and in the same cell type in animals as it does in humans. Cancer as a disease in animals would serve as an excellent model for the study of cancer in humans," he said. Bartels said the center will work on research projects with the University of California in San Francisco, the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Emory University. The construction of the center was made possible by a $500,000 grant from Holland M. Ware, said Robyn Hearn, an assistant editor for University Relations, said. Ware also pledged $10 million to the College of Veterinary Medicine during the Auburn Generations Fund Campaign. j w w n n w w n n ? Time to Dine...

Some of the most mammoth are grown on Biggio Drive by the intramural fields. Repeated requests to have the road repaved have gone to the facilities division. At first, we were told it was too cold. Next, facilities said it would pave it after the lights were put on the intramural fields, pointing out the heavy equipment needed to erect the lights would ruin the road. Winter's gone; the lights are up. But why isn't the road paved? Paving should have begun the day after the lights were completed. In any case, if it's not paved soon, winter will be upon us again, preventing the paving until spring. No interest rate he SGA is accepting applications for the Eagle Escort service which is slated to begin again after homecom- T ing. Unfortunately, it has received disappointingly few applicants. After plenty of student complaining, the SGA put some hard work into bringing this valuable service back to campus. There's plenty of good to be done with the service. If only one attack is prevented, the service has proved its value. Although volunteers are needed, only the serious and mature need apply. Good News... A soon. golf course to be built by the same Japanese firm that owns the kudzu farm in Opelika should be underway Even though the owner is a foreign enterprise, the end result is that Lee County benefits. The Japanese have found some creative uses for the kudzu, and the golf course is something everyone can enjoy. Score one for Opelika - it recruited the Japanese investors. The SGA has rescinded its rule which required organizations seeking a charter to publish the names of its members in The Plainsman. Because of this, some groups, such as the East Alabama Gay and Lesbian Society, have been unable to receive a charter. Regardless of one's opinion about the group, it has a right to apply for a charter without embarrassing or endangering its members. McDonald's has stopped using plastic foam products. McYeah for the McEnvironment. f$ y - § Bright lights, beautiful city, big shame It was a night straight out of a novel. Clear and crisp, the lights shone on the dome of our nation's Capitol seemingly casting a white, pure light across the city. A few blocks from the Capitol, however, the effect of the Capitol and Mall dissipated completely. Streets were dirty, dark and inhabited by some who looked as if they had the qualifications for mayor (read as they looked to be the type to make drug deals). The reference to drug deals and Marian Barry is not racial in any way. Those who look the type to make drug deals are of any color. His arrest illustrates that those in Washington, DC, who want to do good, who want to clean up the city, have no motivation when their own leaders are getting arrested for dealing drugs. It's amazing that Washington Wade Williams Editor and New York, the two cities which should be the showpieces of the country, are the last two cities we should want visitors to see. Washington is a beautiful city - for about a five square block area. It has the highest crime rate of any city in the nation, though in terms of area it's not that big. As we walked down the Mall, we saw park police frequently, and although we felt more comfortable with them around, it is sad they are even needed. Questioning a park ranger at the Vietnam Memorial (an unbelievably touching sight), we were told they had been "lucky" this season; the nearby Lincoln Memorial had been vandalized only three times. Lucky? I'd say they had three times too many. It is unfathomable that someone could vandalize the Lincoln or Vietnam memorials. The park ranger did say the Vietnam Memorial doesn't get vandalized too often because the veteran groups who maintain a 24-hour vigil on the memorial tend to treat those who vandalize the Vietnam Memorial roughly. Unfortunately, outside of the Mall, where the police are most needed, they are less evident. On the positive side, the subways in Washington are amazingly clean and efficient. Although it was scary to walk the streets at night, the subways felt reasonably safe. One sure reason for the crime is the cost of living (the Cokes in the hotel were $1.25 and the Fig Newtons were $3). Seriously, there would be less crime if people could afford a place to live and buy a decent meal occasionally. Washington has a twofold problem. The tourists bring a lot of money to the city, money which could be used to improve the city. But instead, businesses within the city jack up their prices to make more profit from the tourists. By doing so, they hurt the local residents of Washington. The bottom line is, the city which could and should be the most beautiful, the pride of our county, is in fact largely a dirty, overpriced, crime-infested city of which we are embarrassed, not proud. Plainsman not exempt from censorship "Freedom of speech, yeah. Just watch what you say." — IceT Despite the good intentions of the writers of the Bill of Rights 200 years ago, censorship is still alive and well in the United States and even in The Plainsman office. Any time Moral Majority (which is neither moral nor a majority) or any other repressive group is offended by a song/show, picture, book or magazine, it lobbies to have it destroyed. What these people are usually objecting is life. While these people would like to deny it, things exist outside their five-bedroom houses that are ugly. Rather than explaining these things to their kids, they label them pornographic or obscene or just offensive. Sometimes their labels are correct. I don't like 2 Live Crew. Unlike Ice T and some other groups, the Crew, I think, is obscene just to be obscene rather than to make a point. However, I don't go out and tell other people not to listen to the Crew. I don't demand that the Crew is arrested, and its albums banned. I just don't buy the music. However, the censorship brigade targeted 2 Live Crew and tried to shut it off from the world. It made the Crew one of the hottest Greg Klein Sports Editor jm bands around. Instead of getting the Crew banned, they've got their 13-year-old daughters singing Crew songs. With all the problems of prude people trying to censor the country, one would think the backlash would spring up on campuses everywhere. Not here. Every week while trying to put out a sports page that Auburn students will find interesting and informative, I find myself defending my assistants, my staff writers and myself against censorship. Unfortunately, I usually lose. First, some ugly history. Last fall, while I was an assistant sports editor, I wrote a headline that can properly be called pornographic. While I don't want to repeat it here (and probably can't for that matter), it used a nickname for the University of South Carolina mascot, and another form of the word "win." Add the word "ladies" in front, and you've got women's basketball coach Joe Ciampi chasing the sports editor around the press box during last year's 'Bama game. A year of maturity has made me regret that headline, but it hasn't taken the microscope off my section. A few weeks ago the headline "Gamecocks excited about SEC entrance" was rejected because a happy chicken is obviously a pornographic chicken. Two weeks ago, a chunk was cut out from the Bo Jackson book review. The section was a direct quote from the book that talked about Jackson having sex. It used a four-letter word starting with "\" that I had never thought to be a "bad word." The point of having that section in was clear. Jackson has come a long way since he first came to Auburn. That's the reason the Birmingham Post-Herald and many other papers reprinted that section verbatim. The argument given to me was that Editor Wade Williams was responsible for everything in the paper. That's true. It's why we don't print libelous material. It doesn't explain why we couldn't run the excerpt with a warning to the easily offended. Maybe censorship isn't a great problem here yet. But if it continues on the course it is currently running, then a Plainsman chapter of Moral Majority could form at any time. Election promises not true By the time you read this, there will be no more political commercials, at least for a while. Thank God. I really hate those things, and it's not just that you know the politicians will never do anything they say. If s not that they're necessarily bad people. It's just not in their nature to actually do the things they say they will. But if you believe the ads, they will do everything they say and more. In fact, they would have us believe they are the ones to put this state back on track. After so many years of lies and electoral heartbreak, they expect us to believe them just because they are somewhat telegenic. The TV ads for the campaign have been horrendous. Especially the ones for the governor's race. As political ads are designed to do, they try to make their candidates look like God's salvation to humanity. That's not the problem. I expect that. The ads sell their candidates just as detergent commercials sell detergent and Michael Hatcher Staff Writer soap ads sell soap. Since we are talking about politicians, those are probably the wrong examples to use. These ads are obviously made with the brain-dead voter in mind. There's,no other explanation. They can't expect the voters to think that Guy Hunt will do anything for them. I'm sure he tries, but he's a laughingstock. The other governors call him "Gomer" behind his back, and progressive governors like Ray Mabus of Mississippi probably should call him that to his face. Why can't we ever get politicians like Mabus or Gov. Buddy Roemer of Louisiana? We always seem to get the ones who spit chewing tobacco or ride around in their pickup trucks with their gunracks and the bumper stickers that say things like, "If you can read this don't thank me" (especially appropriate for our governors). I'm not certain that Paul Hub-bert is any better. He'll probably put all teachers in his cabinet. And in the woeful state our educational system is in, do we really want that? I think not. Besides, Hubbert will probably try to get them all tenure, so no matter how bad they mess up, nothing can be done about it. But the ads are done in such a way so that you would think there will be no more families on the streets, everyone will get off welfare and Alabama will be hailed as the haven for education. However, it doesn't matter whether you voted for Hunt or Hubbert. The ads say we can't lose. They fail tonsay that we have no chance of winning. Thursday, November 8, 1990 A-7 Letters The Auburn Plainsman Guard policies create danger It was 4:30 p.m. on Oct.20, and Jordan-Hare Stadium was packed with football fanatics and sport fiends. "War Eagle" cries and Seminole chants had already begun. It was a typical Auburn vs. Florida State game. Anticipating a sellout crowd and limited seating, students began making their way to the Stadium as early as 3 p.m. for the evening game. With two or three hours to spare, fans were visiting the concession stands, admiring the tables full of football-game paraphernalia and, of course, making trips to the rest rooms. I suppose such time-consuming activities are allowed for fans who aren't students, but if you happened to carry that oh-so-valued student ID card that Saturday, you needed to stay glued to your seat - or just remain corralled in the student section. A friend and I decided to grab a Coke and visit the rest room before the crowds came. While we were out in the keep-the-fans-occupied area, the crowds came. So we fought through the orange, blue, maroon and gold hell and prepared to make our way back to our seats and our dates. We were fumbling through our purses looking for our IDs and tickets to show to the man who "guards" the entrance to the student section when I noticed the beginnings of a pretty nasty scene. The" gatekeeper" would not let anyone in through that particular passage. Half-drunk guys were screaming and becoming belligerent, and one student almost started crying. While the man with the power was attempting Sherri Chunn Assistant Arts & Leisure Editor to calm the ever-growing crowd, my friend sneaked by him and left me there to find another way into the student section and to my seat. I saw everyone getting panicky, so I attempted to remain calm thinking to myself that surely this man has a good reason for closing this entrance and directing the students to the next one. Without putting up a fuss, I, along with hordes of other students went to the next gate. No dice. Go to the next one, so we did. And it happened again. This time I was a little upset, so I asked the guard why they were closing the entrances. He said, "Because I said to." So I said,"Yes, I know, but why?" He said the passageways were becoming too crowded. (There was no one in the closed passages.) I suppose he thought it was better to rustle the students through one entrance (thaf s right, only one entrance was open) on the end zone and have them fight their way back to their seats which were about three gates down. It took me 30 minutes just to get back to my seat. I'm sure this happened to other people as well. The question remains: why did the guards do this? To protect us by sending three times too many people through one opening? If anyone has the answer to this question (particularly one of you guards), please give me an answer. Occurrences like this can lead to fights, injured people and bad memories. Race relations: a matter of respect Editor, The Plainsman: Good relations between the races come naturally when the simple truth is accepted that it is normal for people to have pride in and a preference for their own race in social and intimate relations, and this is honored. We do unto others as we would have then do unto us when we have high regard for all peoples and when we harmoniously work together and cooperate for mutual well-being but never insult anyone's honorable racial heritage, nor do anything that might adulterate their various distinctions. This understanding, demonstrated by mutual respect, good manners and helpfulness, brings racial harmony and lasting good will. T.J.Campbell Smyrna, GA Derby banning hurts good cause Editor, The Plainsman: It appears that Greek Week '91 will be the last one. I am assuming, of course, that sororities will be prohibited from participating because of its "unhealthy competitiveness" after the Sigma Chi fiasco. After witnessing the sororities being "torn apart" during Derby Week a few weeks ago, I am not surprised. I was there during most of the events and usually I could not even hear myself think because the screaming participants were showing their spirit. They were hardly tearing each other apart, but in the Auburn tradition of spirit, the girls were supporting their individual teams, and I do not understand how anything to the contrary could be read into that. T h e re was bowling night, an event from which alcohol was removed this year unless one simply wanted to buy it individually from the bar. There was field day, an event including the age-old tug-of-war that was simply enjoyable to watch, as well as to participate in. There were no bad feelings present. There was chorus line, an event in which the sororities had their own versions of singers like Madonna or even Elvis. All of these were definitely not destructive, demeaning or abusive, which are pre-requi-sites (in addition to promoting divisiveness and negative image of the Greek system) designated by the National Panhellenic Council for eliminating such activities. Sure, sororities are divided as separate groups in competition, but it is not negative. Sports are simply that way. As far as negative images are concerned, I fail to see how they are generated when sororities come together and raise money for our brother Jeff Kurtz, who is stricken with Hodgkins' Disease. Derby Week T-Shirt sales are a main contributor, which at $7 a pop add up when a few thousand are sold. We could not have raised that much money without the sororities' help and participation in Derby Week. And lastly, serenading the sorority dorms is an old-fashioned tradition that we can carry out any time, not just during Derby Week, so eliminating the girls' participation cannot eliminate that tradition. In addition, Jim O'Connor and Ned Cox, the Derby chairmen, worked extremely hard since last spring revising this and cutting out that in order to cooperate with Debbie Shaw and the Panhellenic Council. I would consider it unfair that their work go to waste after a 58-year-old nationwide tradition is ended here at Auburn. No hard feelings are intended to be inflicted by the article, but the brothers at Sigma Chi are hurt by the decision because Derby Week is an event eagerly anticipated every two years. Stephen B.

Quote of the week "Most theology departments would give their right arms to have Charles Curran." - Jordan Kur-land, associate general secretary of the American Association of University Professors, discussing its censure of Auburn. Florida State exercises more intimidation Editor, The Plainsman: I am writing in response to a letter in the Nov. 1, 1990, edition of The Plainsman written by Rick Robinson, a Florida State fan who insulted Auburn fans. First of all, I was a little surprised to see this letter because, frankly, most Auburn fans don't care what Florida State fans think about us. Secondly, for as long as I can remember Florida State fans have had a reputation of intimidating their opponents. Therefore, who is he to cry about our intimidation of them? I would also like to say that when it comes to their war chant, it is so dull and monotonous, booing was the best thing to ever happen to it. In conclusion, if this hole (excuse me, 'nole) wants to whine about the way Auburn fans treated Florida State fans maybe he should not attend any more Auburn vs. Horida State games (at least not in Auburn). Hub Donald 03 ME City government acts as own worst enemy Editor, The Plainsman: I would like to applaud the cautious tone The Plainsman used when discussing the proposed water park ("Opportunity park," Oct. 25). The editorial warned that mismanagement could leave Auburn "with an unsightly bit of progress that was not needed .enough to warrant further destruction of the look of the city or its fragile environment." The editorial suggested that the city must develop an Auburn "vision/ which includes something other than dollar signs and fast food establishments." Sadly, I fear that those beautiful words of wisdom will fall on deaf ears. A couple of years ago, the same developer who wants to build the proposed water park approached the city with a plan to cram a bunch of his "kiddie condos" into the residential neighborhood in the vicinity of the Unitarian Church on Thach Avenue. To go forward with this project, the developer needed an interpretation of existing ordinances which would have made the most unscrupulous city planner blush. The developer got the interpretation he needed. The outraged citizens in the neighborhood did what you are supposed to do when threatened by tyrannous acts by an unscrupulous city government. They organized, signed petitions, hired lawyers and went to City Hall and raised hell. 'Too bad," said the city. The residents then schlepped the city to court in Opelika, where even the notorious cronie of a judge had to rule against the city. The city still refuses to reimburse the residents for their legal expenses. In the Oct. 4 issue of The Plainsman, Council member Trey Johnston said about the developer, "We have someone who is locally responsible. I think they are serious about doing a good job." I think that anyone with any question about the quality of this developer's handiwork should take a trip down Burton Street where the developer has substantial property holdings. For those of us whose vehicles are not equipped with four-wheel drive, I recommend walking, with comfortable shoes. What had been one of Auburn's most charming neighborhoods is now the most glaring example of what is wrong" with our town's inner city. Clearly, I am not optimistic about the future of the west side of Auburn. I predict that by this time next year, the water park will be splashing with taco stands and reptile farms soon to follow. Maybe even a topless bar will open across the county line. The city of Auburn will continue its pursuit of the fast-buck without considering the human consequences or the reduction in quality of life of its citizens. This wreckless path of development will continue as long as Auburn's city government is controlled by its "mayor for life." Sadly, the best chance Auburn has for ridding itself of "her honor" will be when the inevitable economic recession hits. Only when hit in the pocket-book will residents of this town recognize the folly of being governed by the greedy. John C. Varner 06GHY Columnist creates own difficulties at library Editor, The Plainsman: We believe Shayne Bowman's column in last week's Plainsman, "Library staff lacks courtesy, knowledge," was misleading and contained a factual error. The root of the problem rests in Bowman's first three sentences. "It's 9:30 p.m. Thursday. My 20-source annotated bibliography is due tomorrow for political science class. I stroll into Ralph Draughon Library to collect my final two sources." Two weeks earlier, two librarians spent many hours preparing a presentation along with a list of sources to this very class, in order to give Bowman and his classmates an introduction to materials needed to complete their bibliographies; As in all library orientation sessions, we stressed that fewer staff members are available on weekends and nights, therefore library users will receive better assistance if they can come to the library during the day. We further pointed out that full-time staff members leave at 10 p.m., and that only part-time student assistants are available after that time. After talking to staff members, we found that it was after 10 p.m. when Bowman asked for help, not 9:30 p.m. Finally, we urged the class not to wait to seek assistance until just before the assignment was due. It is quite common for staff at a single reference desk to receive more than 20 questions an hour. To stretch these staff resources by asking personnel to stay until closing and still provide adequate reference coverage during the busier daytime hours is not practical. Nor is it possible for student assistants, many of whom work only 10 to 15 hours per week for a few quarters, to provide the same level of service as full-time staff with years of experience. If Bown^n feels he was treated rudely," we are sorry and we make no excuse for that, but we hope he has learned why his. class was warned of staffing' shortages and the perils of last-minute research. The library is responsive to suggestions, and comments on service can be made to department heads, to the library administration or placed in the suggestion box near the reserve desk on first floor. Incidentally, if anyone sees someone running around with the 400-pound microfiche cabinet Bowman says was missing, we'd like to know about it. Margaret K. Alexander Kevin L. Cook Paula A. Duffy Joyce Ledbetter T. Harmon Straiton, Jr. Marilyn A. Thomas Microforms and Documents Department Librarians*and Staff A-8 News The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, November 8,1990 SENATE continued from A-1 of Laws. "We realized they met all the requirements," said Beth Martin, chairman of the Board of Student Organizations, which brought the matter to the Senate but did not recommend probationary approval. "I think (the board members) were voting on their convictions," Martin said of the board's decision not to recommend the Gay and Lesbian Association. Grant Davis, director of student activities, initiated the discussion after the nay vote. "It is your responsibility to act prudently and responsibly and to serve the interest of all Auburn University students," Davis said. Davis urged the Senate to "give strong reconsideration" to the matter. Senator David Khoo opposed granting the charter and said, "I don't see why they have to meet here on campus." Jones said it is not right to discriminate against people. "God will judge them; we will not." SGA President Terry McCarthy and Vice President Merle Flowers indicated they were "very much in favor," McCarthy said, of approving the probationary charter. According to the Code of Laws, the probationary period lasts at least one year before an AAUP organization may be officially recognized and granted a charter. The Gay and Lesbian Association will not be required to submit the names of 15 members to The Auburn Plainsman for a minimum half-page ad, as was the case previously with probationary charters. Last week the Senate removed the section of the code which would have required the publication. Instead, the club continued from A-1 will send the names to Student Affairs. In other discussion, Paul Sykes, a senator on the Student Interest Committee, said there will be more bicycle racks on campus "hopefully by winter quarter." To fund the project, $2,000 has been requested from the Concessions Board, which Sykes said there is "a pretty good shot at getting." Sykes said Charlie Crawford, the superintendent of grounds at the facilities division, told him the chief considerations for placing the new racks are "impact on the landscape and pedestrian traffic flow." In other business, the duties of the secretary of political affairs, as outlined in the Code of Laws, were amended to include serving as head of the Elections Board and appointing an executive secretary to that board. HEYU.! Kurland said his letter to President James E. Martin last week called upon him to come forth with any sound academic reasons for the denial of tenure to Curran. Kurland said in a normal case of tenure denial, Martin would not be asked to give reasons for the denial, but he did so under the special circumstances of the Curran case. "Charles Curran burned some bridges to go to Auburn. The only proper thing to do is to give him an explanation. The whole situation is compounded by public statements made, especially those made by mem- FOAM continued from A-1 bie Folkerts, adviser to the Environmental Awareness Organization (EAO) in Auburn. During spring 1989, the EAO participated in McToxic Day sponsored by the Citizens Clearing House for Hazardous Waste, a national environmental awareness group. EAO members wrote letters to McDonald's national headquarters requesting that they change their packaging. At the Auburn McDonald's, EAO volunteers picketed and passed out flyers to customers. Most of the EAO members boycotted eating at McDonald's even before the McToxic Day, Folkerts said. EAO President Lynn Nichols said McDonald's decision to abandon polystyrene packaging is a victory for environmentalists. "This is an example of grassroots activism when a large corporation such as McDonald's responds to consumer groups like the EAO," Nichols said. "With McDonald's being the largest fast-food chain around the world, maybe the switch to environmentally safe packaging will make others take notice," Nichols said. Tibor R. Machan, philosophy professor and an expert on marketing and business, said McDonald's realized the public preferred using paper over foam. "It was a good business decision to make the change, but it had little to do with the environment," Machan said. He said he sees the switch as a "proper response to the people with whom they do business." The decision to change was probably based on market research, Machan said. Jim Harris, associate professor of marketing, said, "The decision to make the switch is a reactive response to consumer pressure. It would have been a better marketing strategy for McDonald's to have been proactive and made the change before consumers put pressure on them." - * - * bers of the Board of Trustees that cast a cloud of question on the climate of academic freedom at Auburn," he said. "The administration should speak to remove that cloud." Curran called the AAUP to discuss Auburn before accepting the position, Kurland said. "Most theology departments would give their right arms to have Charles Curran. But boards and presidents are sticking together on this and won't touch him. "This (fear of Curran's controversial nature) has extended past the world of Catholic higher education and has occurred ZONE at Auburn. That is pretty sad," he said. Kurland said in order to be removed from the AAUP's censure list, Auburn will need to redress the original incident, alter its regulations and reform its policies to prevent future incidents. "There are only two possible courses of action: Either come up with a satisfactory answer or properly offer retention with definite tenure," he said. In a telephone interview Tuesday, Kurland said he received the response letter from the University, in which continued from A-1 Review. Fox said he conducted a meeting with residents to dispel fears and questions about the proposal on Oct. 4. Residents were concerned with his original plan for a lake to prevent drainage problems. "The neighbors are scared their kids will get in there and drown. ...(Also) if you are going to build a lake, the trees must come down," Fox said. To appease adjoining property owners, alleviate excess drainage and save as many trees as possible, Fox said he will install a catchment pond. Because .he pond will remain dry until a lvrd rainfall, which may come twioe a year, more trees will survive. City Engineer Rex Griffin said with the dry pond concept, the retention area is landscaped 99 percent of the time. This will enable revegitation and replanting of trees. Although the final evaluation of the drainage situation is incomplete, Griffin said he thinks it will be "nothing unusual." "(Traffic) is going to have an impact, but it is not going to be severe," Griffin said. An access from Thach and a right of way to Glenn will keep traffic to a minimum, Fox said. Fox hired Hudson, Geci & Home Engineers, Inc. of Auburn to conduct a traffic impact study. In a letter to Fox, President Byron M. Hudson said, "Our study indicates no significant traffic network impacts should be expected as a result of your project." Juster said a traffic report allows the planning department to recognize "any change to the traffic system, and if in fact you find that those effects occur, you can require the developer to incur those costs." When the planning department receives a rezoning request, the staff collects all pertinent information about the proposal site and surrounding areas and gives it to the commission, Juster said. A public hearing is conducted before the commission, and concerned groups may debate the issue. Gene A. Bramlett, commission chairman, said, "If there is any valid reason to prohibit a project, we will do what we have in our power to prohibit it." So far, there have been no substantial reasons, but the information is not yet complete, he said. "We are guided by the ordinance itself. It is the law. The law gives us flexibility to use judgment," he said. "We have to be careful in our final decisions so we can be legally defensible." The commission adopts a resolution which contains its recommendation to City Council. Regardless of the recommendation, City Council holds a public hearing and takes action. More often than not the council accepts the commission's suggestion, Juster said. "The planning staff recommended, in this case, applying the criteria for rezoning, that the site in their judgment met these criteria," Juster said. But the final commission decision was delayed until the Triannual Review. History professor Allen Jones said, "It will ultimately lower the value of our property." Jones lives at 102 N. Ryan Street, which backs up to the undeveloped area. "They don't plan any real neighborhoods in Auburn. This town looks awful," Jones said. "(The developer needs to) look around the city and see what else is there. "The Planning Commission and City Council say, 'The more we build, the more taxes we receive,'" Jones said. "Best performance means what produces the most money and what can be had out of the land." Bramlett said, "It is not clear if these people are against this project or one in general. "On the face of it, it doesn't seem to be a bad development for that area. (But) we need to see if we are maintaining our buffers between zones," Bramlett said. With at least eight current commitments to buy a piece of the 21-lot development, Fox said there are many positive aspects about this site. The impact on the Auburn economy will be "considerable." Approximately 200 people will eventually be employed in the professional park, he said. Students and Auburn residents would be closer to specialized medicine. "It has not yet been determined what we will do if this (site) fails," Fox said. "We are optimistic that this property will be rezoned and the subdivision will be approved." Cascade Partners, Ltd. includes Drs. Emil F. Wright Jr., William E. Mock and Bertrand M. Anz. Thomas Samford, general counsel, said the University will not respond further until the Senate completes its investigation. "I am somewhat surprised to receive the response from the general counsel for the University," Kurland said. "We raised no legal questions at all. Hearing from an attorney rather than an academic representative is a bit unusual." He said the AAUP is also awaiting the results of the investigation.

COLLEGE AUBURN Thursday, November 8,1990 The Auburn Plainsman NewsA-9 Kuclzu grows its way into heart of Alabama, diet of Japan Green vine turns into green money Ramon Scott Assistant Photo Editor Kudzu, the fast-growing vine which covers much of the Southern landscape, has brought the Japanese to Opelika to open the world's first kudzu farm. "We've turned a detriment into an asset," David Thornell, executive director of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, said. Thornell traveled to Japan a year ago with Opelika Mayor Bobby Freeman to attract industry to this area. Sakae Bio Inc., a division of the Japanese company Inoue Tengyokudo and Co., has purchased 165 acres just south of Opelika between Highways 77 and 80 to experiment with kudzu cultivation. Hayoto Inoue, president of Sakae Bio and its parent company, made the announcement in Opelika early last month. Thornell said the company will "hopefully establish an office by the end of the year" and begin operation. Jeff Clary, county agent coordinator at the Lee County Extension Service, said the Japanese extract a starch similar to corn starch from kudzu roots. Thornell said Sakae Bio has a two-phase plan for the farm. In the first phase, kudzu will be planted to experiment on the feasibility of cultivation, and tests of the starch extraction process will be made on wild strains. In the second phase, which should begin within two years, provided the first phase succeeds, a processing facility will be built to extract the starch on a commercial level. All the roots and starch will be exported to Japan, but if both phases are successful, Sakae Bio will investigate the possibility of marketing the starch in the United States. Jim Miller, a research forester with the United States Forest Service, said the starch is extracted by a non-chemical process involving a centrifuge. According to a release from Sakae Bio, the by-products of the process are a nutrient-rich waste water, which Koreans drink as "a sort of root beer" and a high-density fibrous material, which is woven into fabric.

It can be used as gravy thickener. Ramon Scott Assistant Photo Editor In the 1930s it was a savior, but today people see it as art, food, profit - or just a nuisance. Kudzu has received much attention in the Auburn-Opelika area since the announcement that the world's first kudzu farm will be rooted here. "A profitable use for kudzu is kind of a new twist," David Thornell, executive director of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, said. But the plant is no stranger to new twists. Jeff Clary, county agent coordinator at the Lee County Extension Service, said the Japanese have recognized kudzu's value for over 2,000 years, using it for many food products including starch, a root beer-type drink, tea and a number of sweets. The plant was introduced to the United States in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. But instead of being recognized as a food product, if was hailed as a promising solution to erosion problems in the South. Bill Ray, owner of Ray Farms in Lafayette, discovered kudzu's land-saving properties for himself in the 1930s. "Our land was washing away. There were huge gullies everywhere," Ray said. He said the land was mostly open fields ripe for erosion, but kudzu turned those lands around.

The program assigns each of Auburn's 30 fraternities to one of three elementary schools one week per quarter, IFC adviser Tim Hebson said. "During the time they are there, they tutor, provide reading assistance, help in athletics or just do anything the teachers want them to do," Hebson said. "Some of them carved pumpkins last week." Jim Douglas, assistant superintendent of Auburn city schools, said, "We feel the program will help our students a lot because there are very few males in the elementary schools." There is one male teacher in the city's elementary schools. "Some of these kids come from broken homes or for some other reason don't have a father figure. So fraternity members help them out, and they look up to them," IFC President Sean Thomas said. The program, which began last month, has been "fantastic," Dean Road Elementary Principal June Spooner said. "It is good to have all these males in the building working with the children. The kids love it," Spooner said. Art by Bob Atkins "It gives them an opportunity for one-on-one tutoring, and it gives them a good self-concept building experience because they are with college students who are good role models for them to relate to." Douglas said, "I heard one of the kids say, 'Hey, I've got a cool dad for the day.' It's gone really well." Fraternity members also feel the program is a success. Kappa Alpha fraternity member Scott Smith said, "All the kids come up and hug you and have a real good time. We told a Halloween story, and the kids just piled all over us." Sigma Chi President David McNeely said, "They were very receptive. They called me Mr. David." In addition to helping the students, the program allows the fraternities to promote their images in the community. "AH (that) most community members associate fraternities with are noisy parties, but now the kids go home and tell their parents that a fraternity member helped them in school, which helps change the parent's concept of fraternities," Hebson said. Absenteeism is a problem so far, Thomas said, but that can be resolved if the fraternities do their part. "We've got to make sure we fulfill our obligation to them. If s not all perfect, but we've got to make sure we do our part," Thomas said. IFC's Adopt-A-School is part of a nationwide program sponsored by the state Department of Education and involves volunteers from businesses and organizations. More than 2,200 fraternity members will spend time with the 1,500 students at Dean Road, Wright's Mill and Cary Wood elementary schools. Thomas said, "The NIC (National Interfraternity Conference) has expressed interest in making this a nationwide program, so we are standing on the forefront of a great thing," Hebson said the NIC has already contacted him about the program, and the conference plans to do an article about the program in its national magazine. -_ ,M 3(eep our campus presentaBCe.

At about 7 p.m., station employees noticed the transmission meters indicating the station was not sending out signals, show engineer Huey Gardner said. "It only took a few minutes to get back on the air after we realized the problem. It's hard to say when power was cut, but we know it was broadcasting at 6 p.m.," he said. Chief Engineer Dale Courtney said, "The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) requires that we control and monitor what the transmitter is doing at all times." Station Manager Van Tilbury said a power surge in Haley Center is believed to have tripped the Haley Center transmitter, resulting in transmission interruption. Courtney said there is a phone in the control room so disc jockeys can make calls to hook up the transmitter when problems occur. "It's just one of those things.

The situation will Regarding an important move the administration will make on Nov. 9, Martin told students that a 10 percent increase in tuition will be recommended to the Board of Trustees. "We still have to pay the bills," he said, "especially the utility bills." In an update regarding facilities division, the president mentioned several current projects. While intramural lighting, the new amphitheater and library renovation to the old wing were reported as completed or on time, Martin said the progress of the new aerospace engineer-amount of theft of small items.' —James E. Martin ing building is "way behind schedule." Biggio Drive, which runs adjacent to the intramural fields, has been a concern of the past three SGA senates. "We hope to get (the road paved) within the next year," Martin said. The project was not started until all lights were in place, he said. The building of the natatori-um, a modern swim complex, was voted on by students in April 1987, accompanied by a $7 tuition increase for all students during the next 15 years. The project will "be bid in the next 60 days, and according to Mr. (Stan) Drake, will be completed well before 1993," Martin said. During the question and answer session following the president's address, students expressed concerns relating to their positions on campus. Traci Bryant, graduate school senator, asked the president exist until $1.5 million dollars is saved on payroll," Martin said. Michael Holt, SGA director of Eagle Escorts, said he is concerned about the new program designed to escort dorm residents back to campus dormitories. Holt's inquiry regarded the possibility of compensation for those participating. Pat Barnes, vice president for student affairs, responded to Holt's question, citing the already tight controls on Uni-. versity payroll and the program's basis of volunteer participation. Beth Crain, president of the College of Business, asked Martin about the 15-hour full-time student requirements while no major offered at Auburn could be completed in a 12-quarter period, given that constraint. "The rationale is that is what is considered a full-time student by the state," Martin said. Peter Baljet, SGA secretary for political affairs, said a performing arts complex is needed, and he asked when the project would receive priority. Martin cited construction currently taking place on campus. "$160 million dollars has been spent on building since I arrived. Of that, only $16 million has come from the state," Martin said.

Fred Moreno, director of public affairs for the College Board, said the new SAT will be used for more than admission purposes. "It will aid in placement of students and counseling once they attend college," he said. Director of Admissions Charles Reeder said suggestions that the old SAT was discriminatory toward women and minorities were speculative. Moreno said the SAT had no discriminatory elements. "The SAT reflects what the students know. It doesn't show who they are, but what each person brings to the test," he said. The studies on the new SAT began about three and a half years ago, Moreno said, and 106,000 students and educators were involved in the changes. "Students and teachers took test samples and gave opinions about the new test," he said. The scoring method will not change, he said. However, the new test will be significantly different. There will be much more critical reading comprehension in the English section, and vocabulary questions will be in context, Moreno said. Analogy questions will still be included, but antonym questions will be removed. In the math section, calcula- 'The message we want to send to the students is that if they're considering going to college, they need to brush up on their math and English skills.' — Fred Moreno tors will be allowed, Moreno said. Twenty percent of the questions will require students to give written answers without multiple choice. Some mathematical analysis will involve the use of math in real-life situations, he said. Another addition to the SAT will be the SAT-II to be phased in next year. The SAT-II is an optional test that requires writing essay-type answers instead of multiple choice answers.

Chapter recognized nationally McCall Campbell Staff Writer The Auburn chapter of the International Society for Hybrid Microelectronics(ISHM) has received national recognition. Wayne Johnson, Auburn professor and ISHM adviser, was named the national president at the ISHM Annual Symposium in Chicago Oct. 15-17. The chapter also won first place for the student display competition, Johnson said. "We have the best university hybrid lab in the country," Johnson said. Out of 28 student chapters, nine competed in the display competition. The chapters were judged on the quality of the display and student interviews, Johnson said. Seven Auburn students attended, and Ellen Thomas and Kevin Robb, both graduate students in electrical engineering, presented papers. The 70 members of ISHM's Auburn chapter sponsor activities such as seminars on hybrids, social functions, field trips to hybrid manufacturing companies and work in specific design projects, Johnson said. Beth Richardson, 04 EE, a member of the chapter said it is comprised of electrical engineering majors with a few physics, material engineering and mechanical engineering majors. The chapter does experiments and intense research of hybrids. A hybrid is "a manufacturing technology for combining two or more semi-connection devices to provide an electronic function," Johnson said. The chapter is studying electronic circuits at high temperatures, high power electronics, high frequency application and novel manufacturing techniques, Johnson said. The national organization of ISHM was founded in 1967. Today it has 6,000 members. The society was established "for advancement and dissemination of knowledge relating to hybrid electronics," Johnson said. © CALL: FREE DELIVERY 826 745 -PIES 1 large Tiger Pie is greater than 2 large Domino's Pizzas! $5.00 Off Just call and order a delicious 20" pizza with two or more items.

Through a policy adopted by the commission in May 1987, the program is part of "a continuous program review process to improve the quality of academic programs and to demonstrate accountability for state resources," according to reports. Auburn has submitted a revision of program inventories, or "a list of all programs offered from bachelor's to Ph. D," Jack E. Blackburn, associate vice president of academic affairs, said. The commission will meet Nov. 19 to decide which departments need further review according to certain criteria, Minnie Lamberth, public information officer for ACHE, said. The criteria are based on the annual average of degrees awarded by each department from 1984 to 1989. . "If a program falls below the given numbers, it is subject to program review," Blackburn said. Auburn has given the commission recommendations for the deletion of some programs in which no students are enrolled. Such programs, he said, are often formed when there is a need for them in a particular curriculum at the time, and then shifts in interest or lack of need causes programs to become obsolete. The first phase of the review is expected to be completed by January 1991, Lamberth said. Blackburn, however, said it will not be completed until spring or summer. "Everyone is way behind with it," he said. Phase two is designed to further review departments recommended by Phase one. "Phase two could take three to four years to complete," Lamberth said. Final recommendations from the commission will be "to either continue the program with or without stipulations or to discontinue the program through some type of orderly phase out process," reports said. Lamberth said, "We (ACHE) don't have the authority to close programs. It would be up to them(institutions) to follow our recommendations." Reports from ACHE officials said, "We hope the outcome of this process will result in improved quality and efficiency of instructional programs in the state."
