The Auburn faculty is not
alone in its concern over Presi­dent
James E. Martin's rejection
of tenure to the Rev. Charles
Curran.
The American Association of
University Professors (AAUP)
in Washington, D.C., sent a
three-page letter Oct. 19 to Mar­tin
inquiring about the circum­stances
surrounding Martin's
decision.
Curran, a Catholic theologian,
was recruited to fill the tenured

Scholar chair in the religion
department but was later
offered the position on a tempo­rary,

The University Senate ad hoc
committee created to investi­gate
the denial of tenure to the
Rev. Charles Curran is current­ly
working under confidentiali­ty
toward its Nov. 13 deadline.
The committee has received a
copy of the Oct. 19 letter to
President James E. Martin from
the American Association of
University Professors, Gary
Mullen, University Senate
chairman, said.
"I don't know if it has any
bearing on anything," Mullen
said Tuesday.
Mullen appointed the com­mittee
as a result of a resolu­tion
passed Oct. 9 by the facul­ty-
based Senate.
"I've been very impressed
with their work so far," he
said.
The five-member committee
has been gathering verbal
information and confirming
written documents relevant to
the case.
"We are leaving them on
their own now," Mullen said.
They want to gather as much
background information as
possible, he said, so they know
the right questions to ask.
The committee had not yet
contacted Martin for an inter­view,
Martin said Tuesday.
Committee chairman
Michael Urban said he would
not comment on the investiga­tion
until it is complete.
Mullen said he discussed the
agenda for the Nov. 9 Board of
Trustees meeting with Martin,

specified on the agenda.

The letter, signed by Jordan E.
Kurland, associate general sec­retary

an explanation and/or reconsid­eration
of Martin's decision,

poorly for the climate of aca­demic

• College students have a
greater stake in the upcoming
gubernatorial election than oth-
. ers, Paul Hubbert (D) said Sat­urday
on campus.
In a student reception at Foy
, Union, the gubernatorial candi­date
said the future of Alaba­ma's
students will be deter­mined
by this election, but few
students are expected to go to
the polls Nov. 6.
"I wish I knew the magic
' words to say," Hubbert said
about the lack of student inter­est.
"Many people have fought
• and died for the right to vote."
Specific issues facing student
voters include education, health
1 care, quality of life, transporta­tion
and the environment, Hub-
*bert said. f
Henry said, despite statements in an
Oct. 17 memo to all personnel in the
college.
Henry confirmed that the memo
written by Bellenger is the same one he
declined to release last week during an
interview about an internal conflict
under investigation in the college.
In the memo, Bellenger said "appar­ent
decisions (communicated verbally)
by Dr. Henry have removed the Eco­nomics
Department from the adminis­trative
authority of the College of Busi­ness.
"I have told Dr. Henry that I assume
no responsibility for the Department
without authority. In effect, Dr. Henry
has removed Economics from the Col­lege.
"The Department will report to Dr.
Henry on all personnel, financial, stu­dent,
and other matters unless the
authority essential for some other orga­nizational
arrangement is established,"
Bellinger said in the memo.
Copies of the memo were designated
to be sent to Henry and President
James E. Martin.
Henry said the "decisions" Bellenger
referred to in the memo involve a per­sonnel
matter concerning a third party,
but he said the statement is "absolutely
untrue."
He said he is working with Martin
and Bellenger to resolve the matter.
Henry also said the economics
department is still reporting to Bel­lenger,
not to him, on all matters.
Economics department head John
Jackson said the department is continu­ing
to report to the dean.
Bellenger could not be reached for
comment. However, in an interview
last week, Bellenger said the memo did
not refer to a separation of the eco-

Hubbert's thumbs-up reflects his rise in the polls, he said
Saturday to Auburn faculty downtown.
He said Auburn's College of
Veterinary Medicine is an excel­lent
facility, but it is unfortunate
that some people in the state do
not receive the excellent health
care that some animals do.
Hubbert said the quality of
life in the state has deteriorated
during the term of his opponent
Gov. Guy Hunt.
"I refuse to look at Alabama
through rose-colored glasses as
our opponent asks us to do," he
said.
About 40 people attended the
reception, including students
and Hubbert supporters from
Lee County.
Originally two other dates
were scheduled but canceled by
Hubbert, so he was forced to
visit the campus the weekend of
an away football game, Tom
Harmon, 04 PUB, said.

Students registered to vote
can have a tremendous impact
in the Nov. 6 election, Joe Turn-ham,
president-elect of the Lee
County Democratic Club said.
But getting students to the
polls may be a problem.
As of the last election 8,264
people were registered to vote
in Beat 6, Box 2, which is com­posed
mostly of students,
according to Lee County court­house
personnel.
During the 1988 presidential
election, about 3,075 people out
of that group voted.
Students register to vote for
the wrong reasons, Kay Sheri­dan,
chief clerk for the probate
judge said.
"(Students) register to vote
for cheaper tuition and then
don't vote," she said.
Turnham said some students
go into the registrar's office and
say, "Is this where I get in-state
tuition?"
There seems to be "a lot of
apathy among students," he

During the weekend, Gov. Guy Hunt (R) aired a TV spot
noting gubernatorial candidate Paul Hubbert's (D) link with

Allies may use force against Iraq
Within a week, the Bush administration and U.S. allies in

Administration officials are increasingly convinced that U.N.
sanctions will not force Iraq to withdraw.
Correction
Because of errors in an SGA press release, figures in the opin­ion
poll printed on the front page of the Oct. 18 issue were
incorrect. The figures should have read: 62.6 percent of the stu­dent
body has not used an illegal drug; 68.8 percent think ille­gal
drugs are not a problem on Auburn's campus; and 51.4
percent feel football players receive too much attention and

Parachutists go solo on campus;
insurance won't cover jumpers
Mary Beth Howley
Staff Writer
Spring 1990 was the last time members of the
Auburn University Sports Parachute Club
(AUSPC) jumped under the sponsorship of
Auburn University.
Last week the SGA Senate voted to
revoke the Parachute Club's charter
because of insurance liabilities.
"Every effort was made by Auburn
officials to select an insurance policy
that would cover all intramural
teams as well as sports clubs," Beth
Martin, chairman of the board of
student organizations, said.
The insurance group that was
selected covers all intramural
groups and every sports club
except the Parachute Club because
of possible high risk injuries.
"Because the Student Government
Association is ultimately responsible
for all recognized charters, we were
left with no other alternative except
revoking the AU Sport's Parachute
Club's charter," Martin said.
The club can still exist, but it will not be offi­cially
recognized by the University, she said
Therefore, the club cannot meet in Foy Union and
will not be listed in University publications such as the
Tiger Cub and the Glomerate.
Martin said Auburn's Recreational Services tried to obtain
insurance for clubs last spring.
The Organizations Board voted at that time to revoke the
charter, Martin said. Because the summer Senate does not
have the power to vote on such issues, the vote was tabled
until fall.
Members of the club were disappointed in the vote. "We're
angry," Ken Hamby, 03 WL, said. "We feel we are being dis­criminated
against because insurance would not cover us."
Other sports clubs including the flying team and the water
skiing team are just as risky, Hamby said.
"We are one of the oldest clubs on campus and the only
(parachute) group in training in the state of Alabama," he said.
Hamby has been a member of the club for 10 years and has
Hamby 'goes for the gusto' on his 23rd jump. Since
then, he has jumped more than 1,300 times.
coached hundreds of students on their first jumps. He said the
club has an immaculate safety record.
"Many people don't know this, but there is a National Colle­giate
Parachuting competition," he said. "The AUSPC has
always either placed second or third in the competition and
has won first place in the past."
Martin said, "We are sorry that we had to revoke the AU
Sports Parachute Club's Charter. However, it was the only
wise legal action we could make at this time."
Plants may mean
fuel for tomorrow
Carla Whitaker
Staff Writer
Meeting daily fuel needs with
corn stalks and ordinary lawn
clippings may seem unlikely.
But it may be feasible in the
future.
Plant materials, or biomass,
can be converted into alcohol
through various processes. The
alcohol is then converted into
fuel.
But biomass has not yet
received sufficient attention as
an energy resource, David
Bransby, a professor in the Uni­versity's
agronomy and soil
department, said.
Although interest in biomass
as. an energy source increases
only in association with energy
crises, Auburn has developed
ongoing research programs in
departments such as chemical
engineering, agronomy and soil
and animal science.
These programs are funded
by research grants from the U.S.
Department of Energy, Bransby
said.
'There is a continual effort to
find petroleum alternatives in
this country," Y.Y. Lee, a pro­fessor
in Auburn's chemical
engineering department, said.
"I would say there was more
effort 10 years ago. When the
price of oil came down, the gov­ernment
simply dropped most
research projects," he said.
"I think it was a mistake that
the government stopped
research activity after the first
crisis," Lee said. "If they had
continued to research at the
same level, we would have an
optional fuel on the market
right now."
Many different plants can be
used as biomass, Bransby said.
These range from crop residue
to perennial grasses.
However, certain plants do
yield more alcohol for fuel pro­duction.
"Sweet sorghum has
the highest potential (for alco-

effort to find

-Y.Y.Lee
hoi production) in Alabama,"
Bransby said.
"The process converts
biomass into alcohol gasoline,
namely ethanol and methanol,"
he said.
"About half the cost of
biomass fuel comes from the
production," he said. 'The other
half comes from the cost of con­verting
the biomass to fuel."
Ethanol produced from
biomass could probably be sold
at $1.30 per gallon, Bransby
said.
"With the latest increase in
the price of gasoline, it's getting
close to the same," he said.
"At the moment, they can
only mix certain amounts of
ethanol with gasoline without
affecting the performance of the
car," Bransby said.
Biomass has one major
advantage over petroleum - it is
renewable.
Crops are continuously plant­ed
to produce biomass, and
resources are abundant, Brans­by
said.
"Petroleum will eventually
run out," he said. "In this
aspect, with biomass we have a
mechanism to continually pro­duce
fuel, and we will never
run out."
Another advantage of
biomass fuel is that it is clean-burning.
"This is called oxy-fuel," Lee
said. 'The fuel contains an oxy­gen
molecule so there is less
generation of carbon dioxide to

Studies show
danger may be
coffee bean
Christy Brown
Staff Writer
The aroma of coffee starts the
day for many Americans. The
aroma, however, may be the
only really safe aspect of coffee.
A nationwide health and
nutrition survey revealed that
80-90 percent of Americans
drink coffee, said Christopher
Newland, assistant psychology
professor at the University.
Becky Adcock, a graduate stu­dent
in clinical psychology, has
surveyed student coffee
drinkers and found that more
than half drink coffee to wake
up and for its taste. They also
drink it as a diuretic and before
exercising.
"The average coffee drinker
drinks coffee for the effect it has
on the central nervous system
as a mild stimulant increasing
attentiveness," Adcock said.
"Caffeine from the coffee then
becomes a rcinforcer - some­thing
that will increase the like­lihood
of the occurrence of a
behavior," she said.
But using coffee to increase
attentiveness while studying
may not have that effect, New-land
said.
"Driftking large amounts
results in pacing back and forth
to the bathroom and interferes
with concentration," Newland
said.
He said caffeine is a drug and
can be addictive.
But coffee drinking usually
becomes a habit before its
health risks are considered,
Adcock said.
When caffeine is taken away,
withdrawal symptoms begin to
affect the body, she said.
"If a stable coffee drinker who
drinks caffeinated coffee does
not consume it within 12 hours,
a severe headache will occur,"
she said.
Some people may drink coffee
to prevent these headaches, she
said.
Even though caffeine affects
the body, including kidney, res­piratory
and heart functions,
studies have not definitely
proven coffee drinking is dan­gerous,
Newland and Adcock
said. H
Many people believe it is the

caffeine in the coffee that is dan­gerous;
however, studies indi­cate
the problem may be with
the coffee bean, Adcock said.
The coffee bean can cause a
secretion of gastric enzymes,
creating stomach problems,
Adcock said.
No studies prove exactly
when people begin drinking
coffee, but most begin at age 20,
Adcock said.
Students pick up the behavior
from parents and friends as a
way to seem more mature,
Adcock said. The taste must be
acquired.
"It depends on the country,
the culture within the country
and the age," Newland said.
Coffee drinkers vary in age
from younger than 10 to older
than 65, and the amount they
drink varies from a half cup to
six or more cups a day, New-land
said.
"Some people do like (black)
coffee, but most start out with
milk and sugar," Newland said.

Auburn firefighters respond to a false from dusty air vents, not fire, set off the
alarm at Knapp Hall Monday. Smoke alarm in the Phi Mu chapter room.
Smoke expels dorm residents;
firemen find no flames at scene
Juleigh Sewell
Managing Editor
The residents of Stella White
Knapp Hall were evacuated
from their dorm for about an
hour Monday when the smoke
alarms went off shortly after 5
p.m.
Hall Director Susie Melton
said when she heard the alarm,
she checked the lighted panel
which indicates the source of
the problem.
The light on the panel was
flashing that the problem was in
the Phi Mu sorority chapter
room.
However, she said, no fire
was found in the chapter room.
'It's not that serious. It's an everyday, run-of-
the mill thing this time of year.'
— Paul Reeves
The light was blinking for the
chapter room because smoke
was being blown out of vents
into the room.
Neither the Phi Mu nor Zeta
Tau Alpha sorority chapter
rooms, both in Knapp Hall,
were damaged.
There were no flames, but
smoke caused the smoke detec­tors
to sound the alarm, she
said.
Deputy Fire Chief Paul
Reeves said the alarm went off
because the air filters were
dusty. When the heating unit
was turned on Monday, the
dust blowing across the coils
caused the smoke which was
blown out through the air
ducts, he said.
"It's not that serious. It's an
everyday, run-of-the-mill thing
this time of year," Reeves said.
Page Wyatt, 03 MK, a Knapp
Hall resident said, "It didn't
scare me; it was just annoying."

Sororities ban future participation in Sigma Chi Derby
Kriste Goad
Assistant News Editor
Presidents of 14 sororities
gathered for an unscheduled
Panhellenic meeting Oct. 23 and
voted to ban future participa­tion
in Sigma Chi Derby.
The banning was "primarily
on the basis that the week of
events promoted unhealthy
competition and divisiveness
among sororities," Debbie
Shaw, associate director of stu­dent
activities, said.
Derby is a week of Sigma Chi-sponsored
events in which
sororities compete to gain
points. The sorority with the
most points at the end of the
week wins.
"We really do not have a com­petitive
sorority system on the
campus except for this (Derby)
week," she said.
Alison Turner, president of
Sigma Kappa sorority, said,
"The banning wasn't against
Sigma Chi but against the com­petition
it caused between
sororities.
"Our chapter was supportive
of the decision due to that
aspect. It was a decision we
thought was best for all sorori­ties,"
Turner said.
Wendy Schultz, president oi
Alpha Xi Delta sorority, said, "I

personally am in support of the
banning. I'm not speaking for
my sorority."
Shaw said every sorority
president at the meeting
expressed concern about Derby
events and agreed it was a neg­ative
activity.
"Most all the presidents
agreed it was tearing the sorori­ties
apart. We were all running
around doing all this for Sigma
Chi and getting nothing out of it
all," Sage Singleton, president
of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority,
said.
According to Sigma Chi
Nationals, "Derby is a time to
provide positive visibility and
recognition for all of its partici­pants
(not only Sigs) via all
activities which are part of it,
and is a time when its partici­pants
marshall resources which
will benefit others in need."
Shaw said, "I didn't really see
where activities contributed to
anything but Sigma Chi. None
of the events promoted their
philanthropy.
"(Derby) shouldn't be there to
boost their (Sigma Chi's) egos,
and I think it was," she said.
Sigma Chi President David
McNeely said his chapter's ini­tial
response to the ban was
"shock."
"If it's a general consensus of
all chapters, not just the presi­dents,
then I have no problem
with the decision. My main
problem is the way they (Pan­hellenic)
went about it," he said.
Shaw said Panhellenic decid­ed
to vote on the issue at the
time of the meeting.
"There comes a time when
you have to make decisions for
your chapter," she said. "If vot­ing
had been put off another
week, then all of the sudden we
would have had a major fight
on our hands."
There would have been dis­agreement
within the sororities
as well as outside influence
from Sigma Chi members, Shaw
said.
When the National Panhel­lenic
Conference was held in
1988, all 26 members (which
include almost all national
women's social fraternities and
sororities) passed a resolution
"to eliminate all activities
(including competitive games,
contests and promotions) which
are destructive, demeaning,
abusive and/or promote divi­siveness
among organizations
and/or promote negative
images of the Greek communi­ty,"
according to the resolution.
Interaction between Panhel­lenic
and Sigma Chi was good
before Derby, Shaw said, but
problems occurred during the
week.
"A serenade sounds harmless
enough on paper, but instead of
a simple song, it was reportedly
a group of intoxicated, obnox­ious
men," she said.
One particular event during
Derby week is a chorus line
competition in which sororities
compete in song and dance
skits.
"This event was suggestive to
some and offensive to others,"
Shaw said.
"I'll be quick to admit I'm not
proud of the women for doing
that (suggestive dancing, for
example). I don't think it repre­sented
what sororities are all
about or what women are all
about," Shaw said.
McNeely said, "Everybody
just wants a chance to work on
it. Society changes, and we
want to change with it. We're
(Sigma Chi) not beneath that."
Governor
honors
student
volunteer
Tracy L. Droessler
Staff Writer
An Auburn student was
selected as first runner-up for
the governor's 1990 Alabama
Volunteer of the Year Award.
Patrick Elms, 04 FI, received
the award at an Oct. 16 lun­cheon
for his work with the Pro­ject
Uplift PRO (People Reach­ing
Others) Volunteers.
Elms, former Project Uplift
president, is the first PRO Vol­unteer
to receive this honor.
"It was an honor to even be
nominated," he said. Most of
the nominees had been doing
volunteer work much longer
than he had, Elms said.
"We just serve as role mod­els,"
Elms said. "You're there to
be their friend.
"Kids are people, too. They
have ideas and thoughts. If you
listen to them, you can learn
something."
Working with children helped
him to understand himself and
people better, he said.
Liane Crowe, assistant PRO
Volunteers coordinator, said,
"He really cares about these
kids, whether it's their school-work
or their personal lives.
"He's really gone above and
beyond the call. He's been a
loyal and faithful volunteer,"
she said.
PRO volunteers spend an
average of three to four hours a
week with a child in need of a
friend, Crowe said. They
engage in fun and educational
activities, as well as different
forms of recreation.
Alabama's First Lady Helen
Hunt presented Elms, a PRO
volunteer since 1986, with the
award.
Elms is now a roaming volun­teer,
working with boys who
are waiting to be placed with
volunteers. He spends an aver­age
of 30 hours a week as a vol­unteer.
Elms said he intends to work
at Covenant House in New
York City after he graduates.

Insert foot in mouth
The University's fact sheet concerning the employment
of the Rev. Charles Curran states, "The university
administration does not believe that the (religion) depart­ment
needs another tenured position at this time."
Great hindsight. Now that we have a respected faculty
member who is not being offered tenure, as well as a horren­dous
image across the United States, now you tell us you
don't think the religion department needs another tenured
position.
If the administration believes religion does not merit anoth­er
tenured position, it should have told Curran flat out,
instead recruiting him with tenure mentioned as a possibility.
Eeny, meeny...
I t's almost time to go to the polls once again and pull that
lever to choose the next governor.
Unfortunately, both levers seem to be broken this year.
Voters will have to decide between the lesser of two evils
when picking between Gov. Guy Hunt and Paul Hubbert.
Both have some good points, but both have their problems.
Regardless of choice, everyone needs to stay informed, and,
most importantly, to vote. Just because both candidates may
be mediocre is no reason not to vote. If you must choose
between the lesser of two evils, you have to choose to be sure
the lesser one wins.
Empty nest
The Eagle's Nest is still closed. That's ludicrous and
ridiculous.
A petition was circulated last year asking that it be
reopened to students as a study area. Nothing has happened.
The students want it reopened to use it for studying space.
There are few places on campus for this, and last year we
were promised efforts would be made to correct this.
Apparently the administration doesn't care about the stu­dents
having areas for study; it only cares about its precious
remodeling in the Eagle's Nest.
Good News...
The Liberal Arts Career Fair is coming into fruition on
Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The career fair will provide
all liberal arts students the opportunity to talk one-on-one with
graduates who have been successful in their chosen fields.
Now what liberal arts needs is a career fair similar to the one
sponsored by the College of Business, which has employers
who interview students for job openings. f.
Country can't balance checkbook
No matter what the year,
what the administration, we are
always reassured the system
works. We have the best gov­ernment
in the world.
I don't doubt that we have the
best government and best coun­try
in the world; that's obvious,
and I feel fortunate to live here.
However, the evidence that
the system works is becoming
slimmer and slimmer. We've got
people who go hungry and
some who have inadequate
health care. Our crime is the
highest in the world; drugs are
rampant; we have a huge
deficit; and we can't pass a bal­anced
budget.
Of course, not all of those
problems are the government's
fault. It wastes billions of dollars
each year supporting those who
are content just to have children
and collect welfare. Contractors
cheat the government out of
million, and tax cheats cost even
more. Money is also spent fight­ing
the drug war, which
Wade
Williams
Editor
wouldn't have to be fought if
people would just realize how
idiotic and asinine using drugs
is.
However, you would think
with all these problems in mind,
Congress would have passing a
balanced budget as its No. 1
priority.
Instead, Congress focuses on
political infighting, a scratch-your-
back-if-you-scratch-mine
philosophy and just plain pig-headedness.
Cuts in the budget need to be
hard and deep, and cuts need to
be across the board. We
shouldn't cut just defense or cut
just Social Security; both pro­grams
are too important.
The first cuts should be out­side
our borders. We should
drastically reduce or even elimi­nate
all foreign aid to other
countries. We may put other
countries into hard times, but
we'll be in hard times ourselves
if we don't get ourselves out of
this budgetary mess.
If getting the budget balanced
means raising taxes, then so be
it. Forget campaign promises;
forget everything. Just get the
budget balanced.
If we raise taxes, however,
they should be raised across the
board for all income classes.
Some favor taxing the rich,
but it's not fair for a small per­centage
to carry the country just
because these people or their
ancestors worked harder than
anyone else, thereby earning the
upper-class status.
What should be taxed is
cigarettes and alcohol. I love my
beer as much as anyone else, but
it is something I don't really
need. And I don't mind paying
extra for it if it will help get the
country back into solvency.
The bottom line is Congress
needs to get off its fat, kickback,
deal-making, incumbent butt
and solve this crisis no matter
whose sensibilities are hurt.
So what if Sen. Snort, the man
who could make you the chair­man
of a high-ranking commit­tee,
will be mad if you try to cut
Social Security? If Congress has
so many backhanded deals to
make it can't pass a balanced
budget, maybe its next move
ought to be a reorganization and
a reform of the requirements for
becoming a congressman.
The message to Congress (not
that it will listen) is this: Do
whatever it takes to bring the
country back onto solid finan­cial
ground. Make this the great­est
creditor nation once again
rather than the greatest debtor.
While you're at it, make your­self
something approximating
the original intention, rather
than the bickering, self-serving
Congress that you are.
Library staff lacks courtesy, knowledge
It's 9:30 p.m. Thursday. My 20-source
annotated bibliography is due tomorrow for
political science class.
I stroll into Ralph Brown Draughon
Library to collect my final two sources. I
estimate search and find time to be about an
hour.
At least that's what I thought.
"Hi, I'm doing an annotated bibliography,
and I need to find a couple government doc­uments,"
I say.
A woman behind the desk points to a set
of reference books and says to find the call
number in them. After locating the call
numbers of more sources than I had origi­nally
planned, I begin my search.
There's a big blank space on the shelf. No
dice. The Federal Communications Com­mission
Act of 1934 was nowhere to be
found.
"I couldn't find it," I tell the woman
behind the desk.
She mulls through LUIS. No dice. She
asks several of her friends to help me. One
refuses; the other says he's off the clock. She
then recommends that I check the
microfiche cabinets. The particular cabinet I
need is missing.
Shayne
Bowman
Creative Director
'The cabinet isn't there," I say.
Obviously a frustrated, impatient individ­ual,
she feeds me the lamest line in any ser­vice
industry: "I'm sorry, I just work here."
Yes, she works there. I was thankful she
explained that to me. But what is her job?
When in doubt refer to your trusty Tiger
Cub. "Staff members are on duty in six areas
of Draughon Library to assist students in
the locations and use of library materials."
That's what I thought. It doesn't say any­thing
about laying a guilt trip on students
who need help. Perhaps the Tiger Cub
should have said, "Night staff members are
inept, unknowledgeable and just work
there. "
Don't think I'm basing this on just one
rude human being. Other night staff mem­bers
on other floors wanted to know when
my paper was due. When I said tomorrow,
one man muttered underneath his breath,
'That figures."
To quote a good friend, "Lip service like
that does my ears no justice." I'm thinking
to myself that probably part of my tuition
goes to pay these jerks a weekly wage.
I don't need to take this abuse. It's one
thing for these staffers not to know some­thing,
but to be abusive just won't cut the
mustard.
I called a staffer, who wished to remain
anonymous, at the library's circulation desk
Sunday and told him my story. "Yeah,
that's a big problem because most of those
people don't get hardly any training," he
said.
He went on to say that his supervisors
complain because people on other floors
come down to circulation and ask questions
that these so-called assistants should have
been able to answer.
OK, how hard could it be to put these
people through a training program? Or how
about having a head librarian at night who
stays until closing? These are some easy
solutions to a shameful problem at Ralph
Brown Draughon.
Yankee takes Southern memories home
A displaced Yankee with a
poor sense of direction wanders
south, eager to expand her hori­zons,
curious about what lurks
beyond 1-75 and the route to
Disney World.
With her geographical
instincts intact, she moves from
Michigan to Alabama, assuming
that by 1986 things wouldn't be
that different on opposite sides
of the Mason-Dixon Line.
At first, the noticeable differ­ences
are superficial, under­standable,
cultural and even
humorous. She discovers grits,
worries about what exactly okra
is and gets laughed at when she
wants to stop at the party store
and buy a pop. Her biggest fear
is to stumble and accidentally
address her friends as "/all."
She stands in awe of kudzu
and men who hold doors open
for her, and she is confused by a
college campus without co-ed
dorms. She assumes the reason
for the campus alcohol policy is
so people won't spill anything
on their sundresses and suits at
the football games.
How silly of her to think
Michigan vs. Ohio State is the
fiercest rivalry in the country.
And wearing shorts in Novem­ber
seems almost revolutionary.
People in the South truly are
nicer than in the North, but
some overdo it. And she knows
they wouldn't survive on a

more than 15 minutes.
So what about the differences
that were equally surprising but
not so amusing?
The abundance of foreign cars
on Southern campuses turned
(and still turns) her stomach.
People tell her it's because of
better quality, but she eventual­ly
learns the newest Southern
tradition is the alleged prestige
of owning a car built by some­one
other than the dirty indus­trialists
up North. u
And how does she explain to
her friends in Michigan that she
now goes to college in the same
state where the Confederate flag
flies over the state capitol build­ing?
People tell her it represents
part of the state's history, but
she notes Jimmy Hoffa's sculp­ture
isn't on display in down­town
Detroit.
Later, she learns some high
schools in the South have sepa­rate
homecoming queen elec­tions
for one white and one
black queen. It doesn't matter
who requests it to be that way. If
she had lived here, she'd under­stand,
right? Well she didn't live
here and she doesn't under­stand,
so somebody please
explain it to her. She recalls the
apparently not so ancient term
segregation.
Also, a situation concerns her
that no doubt crosses state lines
around the country. How can an
institution of higher learning
operate under strained relation­ships
between faculty and
administration? She hopes her
education and those of others
don't suffer from the complexi­ties
involved with the business
of operating a university.
Finally, after a December
graduation, she will go north on
1-75 for the last time, now an
experienced interregional rela­tions
expert. The message she
carries with her includes her
love for Auburn, her hatred of
the Crimson Tide and her pride
in displaying a diploma from
Auburn University.

Letters The Auburn Plainsman
Martin shows care for students
Editor, The Plainsman:
Let's hear it for the president
of Auburn University - James E.
Martin.
Last week I was sitting in a
meeting of a committee that
deals with Auburn University
athletics both on a local and a
national level. It was a long
meeting that lasted until after 5
p.m., and it was obvious that we
were all ready to call it a day.
It was then that Martin made
a comment that made me proud
to have him as our president.
He complained to the commit­tee
that there were several stu­dents
who were turned down
when they tried to purchase
tickets for the Tennessee football
game, and he did not want to
see that happen.
He also said, "Any student
that wants to see an Auburn
University athletic event should
be able to do so, and I want to
see this committee look into
that."
If that is not a president who
is for the students, I don't know
what is.
Martin is a man with a very
demanding job whose time is
limited, but he makes every
effort to be accessible to the stu­dents.
Let me give you a few
examples.
Despite a busy day for him,
Martin took time out of his busy
schedule to attend the grand
opening of WEGL and was the
first person to speak on the air.
Two weeks ago, I called Mar­tin
to try to set an appointment
for some time that week. He
told me he would see me that
very same day. At the meeting
he went into great detail about
what the administration was
doing, and he was concerned
about student issues.
And last, but not least, Martin
has agreed to help me with one
of my new publicity relations
projects - a question-answer col­umn.
I urge all of you to write me if
you have any questions for
myself.
Your questions will be
answered personally or in
future columns in The
Plainsman.
Mail your questions to me at
the SGA office in 332 Foy Union.
Martin has agreed to assist me
with this column, so feel free to
ask questions on the student or
administrative level.
So next time you hear that
Martin is not for the students,
please remember what I have
just shared with you. He is a
man who has done everything I
have ever asked of him, and he
has done a lot for Auburn. Lef s
hear it for our president.
Terry McCarthy
SGA President
Hunt coverage called unfair
Editor, The Plainsman::
This letter is in response to the Oct. 11 article in
The Auburn Plainsman entitled "Hunt brings cam­paign
to Auburn."
I was disappointed in reporter Mike Mitchell
for directing part of his rally coverage toward the
opinions of the Hubbert supporters about Hunt
without addressing the opinions of the Hunt sup­porters
in the same manner.
Considering the Hubbert supporters numbered
around five or six, while the Hunt supporters
numbered approximately 400 or 500,1 suppose it
was possible that Mitchell's discrepancy was an
unintended oversight, rather than a slight to the
Hunt supporters.
However, I would like to address the comments
of the Hubbert supporters, as well as make a few
of my own.
First, Julia Batum stated that she believed
Hunt's attitude was "if you can't say something
nice about Alabama, don't say it at all." Her
response was 'That just doesn't cut it for me. That
isn't an answer, if s a cop-out."
Well, what was Batum's question? I couldn't
find it, nor could I see where Hunt made any
"cop-outs" on the issues addressed in his speech.
If she had any particular questions about
Hunt's platform, I'm sure he would have been
quite willing to answer her questions personally if
she had taken the time, after the rally, to give him
that opportunity.
Second, Caine Campbell said that he doubts
Auburn graduates will be able to find jobs in the
state as recessions loom in the future and that the
Hunt administration has been an "illusion" of
progress.
Surely Campbell is aware that recessions occur
on a national level and that any college graduate
will find difficulty landing a job in the state no
matter who is governor.
As for the "illusion" of progress, the record
shows that the education budget was increased
by $630 million in the last four years without
increasing taxes, and there are over 100,000 more
Alabamians working since Hunt took office. And
subsequently, employment is lower than it has
been in a decade.
From now on, Mitchell, please cover your
assignments from all standpoints.

Band contributes to game victory,
overwhelms Seminole war chant
Editor, The Plainsman::
I would like to extend a big
"Thank You" to our band. They
did a fantastic job at the Florida
State game of keeping up spirit.
I don't think many of the stu­dents
had to listen long to that
stupid Florida State chant
before our band started the
fight song.
Band, you deserve a big pat
on the back for a job well done.
Keep up the good work!

Editor, The Plainsman::
I would like to thank the
Auburn University Marching
Band for keeping the Auburn
fans' spirit alive Saturday
evening against Florida State
University at Jordan-Hare Sta­dium.
It was the band's constant
playing of the "War Eagle,Fight
Song" or "Glory, Glory to 01-
Auburn" that drowned out the
Seminole chant.
As a fifth year student at
Auburn, I have seen Auburn
fans and football players intimi­dated
and totally destroyed by
the thunderous roar of the
Seminole chant whether it be at
Jordan-Hare Stadium, the
Superdome or on their home
turf in Tallahassee, Fla.
Again, I would like to thank
the Auburn University Band for
its spirit. And, yes, it's great to
be an Auburn Tiger.

Glance back
10 years ago, 1980: According to an article in The Plainsman, Bill Lumpkin, sports editor of the
Birmingham Post-Herald, reported that head football coach Doug Barfield's contract would be termi­nated
at the end of the year.
15 years ago, 1975: Two Auburn students successfully sued their apartment owners in Lee Coun­ty
Small Claims Court for the full return of withheld room deposits during summer quarter.
20 years ago, 1970: A suit charging the University with discrimination against women was dis­missed
from U.S. District Court. The suit charged rules for women in the dormitories were unfair.
30 years ago, 1960: Carol Meadows won the first ever Miss Homecoming title at Auburn. Mead­ows
earned the distinction because the University had just been renamed Auburn University.
Quote of the week
"If there is an explanation that would put its negative ramifications for academic freedom at
Auburn University to rest, we call upon you to provide that explanation." - Jordan E. Kurland of
the AAUP in a letter to President James E. Martin about denial of tenure to Rev. Charles Curran.
Auburn fans show no class
Editor, The Plainsman::
In my opinion Auburn has
now unfortunately joined the
ranks of other well-known
schools that are excessively abu­sive
to visiting fans.
The intimidation and shock­ing
treatment of Florida State
fans on Saturday night was the
worst I have ever experienced at
and after a football game.
Constant booing of our Indian
war chant (even observed, I
understand, by national net­work
announcers) throughout
the game and its mockery by
almost all fans after the game
showed a real lack of class. The
post-game revelry was so
intense and volatile that I actu­ally
feared for the safe depar­ture
of my family members and
me from Auburn.
I know that all schools have
some bad fans, and Florida State
is no exception. It's a pity that
we put so much emphasis on
winning an athletic event that
some fans literally go berserk.
My previous positive image of
Auburn and its fans has been
ruined, not by just a few,
though, which I have learned to
live with, but by the en masse
treatment we received.
It was a great game, and I can
take losing, but the abuse I can- -
not. Needless to say, after sever­al
sojourns there, I plan for this
past one to be my last.

Financial aid office bungling
important student monies
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing on behalf of all
students who have ever found
themselves lost in the massive
confusion and tragic incompe­tence
otherwise known as the
financial aid office.
My application was sent in,
and its first documentation was
recorded last February. I
received a letter in March
requesting sufficient tax forms
for verification.
Upon presentation of the
forms I was told that I was
cleared as an independent stu­dent
and was eligible for sever­al
forms of financial aid
Between that time and the
beginning of fall quarter I had
to resubmit the same tax docu­ments
two more times after
they were lost.
On return to the University
(mid-September), I went into
the office, to check on the status
of my award only to find out
that my file had been lost!
So four weeks into school, I,
an independent student with no
financial support, find myself
with no help from our hopeless­ly
unqualified financial aid
office.
Through no fault of my own,
but through the fault of the
incapable boobs in the financial
aid office, I will have at least
$3,000 less for school this year,
if I ever do receive any aid.
I have worked in various
recruiting organizations at
Auburn, yet I would never rec­ommend
a student in need of
financial aid attend school here.
The day I flew in to attend
Auburn I met with Larry Ridge-way,
director of financial aid.
His exact words to me were,
"Why did you transfer here
when you were established at a
Big Ten university and had
financial aid set?"
Well, believe me, Ridgeway,
there have been several days
from the financial aid aspect, I
regret my decision.
Have our administrators been
away so long that they are blind
to the ignorant bungling of
funds in our financial aid office
and have forgotten what life is
like for poor, struggling college
students? I, and I'm sure other
students as well, think so.

Begging artists need to follow rules
Editor, The Plainsman:
I read Chris Smith's article on
Mapplethorpe last week. How
lucky you are to have seen the
late Robert Mapplethorpe col­lection.
I do agree with you that he
has, as an American citizen, all
the right to produce and show
any art work he desires. Who is
to judge what is obscene or
pornographic? Certainly not
you nor I, and especially not the
U.S. government.
As Americans we fear the
word "censorship." It seems to
threaten our constitutional
rights.
I will, however, disagree' that
the villains are not the modern
day zealots you described but
the artists and curators who
accept money from the NEA
(National Endowment to the
Arts) for projects and then bite
the hand that feeds them.
I might suggest reading the
guidelines for the National
Endowment to the Arts. It is
located in the library.

Plainsman letters serve no purpose
Editor, The Plainsman::
This is a letter to point out
that The Plainsman is the only
voice the Auburn population
has. I have read more intellectu­al
letters to the editor in high
school.
Why waste this outlet on
whether Greeks are stupid or
they buyUheir friends? The edi­torial
section of the paper is
interesting only for the variety
of weekly complaints.
This is such a great school,
and I am proud to be here. I
cannot let my friends from other
schools read this paper because
not one week goes by where
someone doesn't "bash" anoth­er.
Don't we have an intellectual
environment here? Why is it
that a football game is the only
time there is any unity on this
campus? Can we focus on the
problems that plague all of us
every day instead of little things
that can hurt people?
It is fine to state an opinion,
but when there is a war of
insults, it's not a newspaper. It's
a slam sheet!

A-8 News The Auburn Plainsman Thursday, November 1, 1990
AAUP continued from A-1
guidelines. Auburn has been
on the censure list since 1983
for reasons not related to Cur-ran's
tenure denial.
Quotes from Board of
Trustee members were
reprinted in the letter from
newspaper accounts, but
were not attributed to the
specific trustees.
Martin said because the
quotes were incomplete and
taken out of context and the
sources were not given, he
questioned their validity.
"They can't draw conclu­sions
based upon that," Mar­tin
said.
The letter was turned over
from Martin to Thomas D.
Samford III, the University's
general counsel, for a reply.
In an Oct. 29 letter, Sam-ford,
with Martin's consent,
told Kurland in four sen­tences
that the University
would not comment.
"I will not attempt to make
a detailed response at this
time, but you should be
aware that we do not agree
with many of the assertions
contained in that letter," Sam-ford
wrote.
Samford said Tuesday, "We
won't address this with out­side
agencies until the inside
process is complete," refer­ring
to the pending investiga­tion
by the University Sen­ate's
ad hoc committee.
Without outlining specific
potential action, Kurland's
letter asked Martin to explain
his decision.
"If... you had compelling
reasons, based on academic
considerations and unrelated
to the quoted Trustee con­cerns
for rejecting the recom­mendations
to grant tenure,
we urge you to come forth
with those reasons and
explain them in detail," Kur­land
wrote.
Martin said he owed the
courtesy to the letter writer
not to comment on its inaccu­racies
to the press.
"They can say and ask any­thing
they want to. They have
no power over the operation
of Auburn University."
VOTE continued from A- 7
MEMO continued from A-1
nomics department from the
college.
Henry said he thought the
memo was not "appropriate at
all," but the references in the
memo to a personnel matter
were vague because they are
supposed to be confidential.
Henry said he expects to have
a resolution by Monday or earli­er.

Hubbert, a 'liberal' as his Republican opponent Hunt
describes him, spoke to students and faculty last week.
RALLY continued from A-1
Auburn was the day before the
Florida State University football
game and had a large turnout.
"Across the country, Young
Republicans are stronger than
Young Democrats," Harmon
said.'He also said he sees a
trend of student Democrats
becoming more active.
Harmon met Hubbert in
September and introduced him
at Saturday's reception.
In a question and answer ses­sion
with students, Hubbert
outlined three steps to improv­ing
education in Alabama.
Tutoring, establishing an
across-the-board knowledge
base at each grade level and hir­ing
quality teachers will help
cut the state's dropout rate in
half, he said.
He said Auburn football
coach Pat Dye's use of tutors for
his athletes is an example of
successful tutoring.
"How to teach is as important
as what to teach," he said.
On environmental issues,
Hubbert said his staff would be
set up to weigh and balance the
argument of economic develop­ment
vs. environmental con­cerns.
The need to attract quali­ty
industry without offering
cheap labor is a priority, he
said, and Alabama has great
potential to explore alternative
fuels.
Hubbert criticized oil compa­nies
which raised gasoline
prices dramatically in response
to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait
in August.
The student reception was
immediately followed by a fac­ulty
reception downtown at
Magnolia Plaza.
Speaking to a group of about
150, Hubbert addressed the
serie^of negative advertising
plaguing the election.
"We have seen a very nega­tive
campaign in the last month.
The negative campaign, I think,
started when our opponent saw
the polls were closing," he said.
"The closer they get, the more
negative they get."
Mid-September polls had
Hubbert 13 points behind Hunt,
but in last Friday's polls, Hub­bert
took the lead.
Referring to "another one of
those vicious, negative ads"
produced by Hunt, Hubbert
vowed to run a positive cam­paign
the rest of the way.
"There is a line of decency
that I don't believe a political
campaign ought to cross."
Hubbert said he would prefer
to debate in person with Hunt
and suggested that Hunt, "not
unleash your pit bull named
Charlie Graddick to run around
and make statements."
Emphasizing the diversity
within the Democratic party,
Hubbert said he would not be a
special-interest governor.
"If sitting beside a black man
or a white woman or any other
person disqualifies me from
being governor of Alabama, I
don't want to be governor of
Alabama."
Gordon Bond, head of
Auburn's history department,
spoke with Hubbert during the
reception about the University
of Alabama's homecoming
parade in which Hunt and Hub­bert
each had a representative
float.
The Republican float carried
men and women wearing for­mal
evening wear, and the
Democratic float>had kids in
blue jeans, Bond said.
"Nothing is as indicative of
the juxtaposition of those two
camps as those floaty," Bond
said.
anything up," Henry said. "I
just don't want to talk about an
issue until I get a chance to get
it resolved."
Martin said Tuesday that
Henry is working with the dean
on the situation and that he can­not
comment on it.
"I am delighted to hear it may
be resolved by Monday," Mar­tin
said.
said.
Turnham predicts Auburn
student voting for the upcom­ing
gubernatorial race to be
between 1,000 and 2,500 votes.
Chris Klein, 04 GSE, said he
will probably vote on the gover­nor's
race. "I think Guy Hunt is
stupid," he said.
"He's a nice man, but I don't
think he does a good job," Klein
said. "He got in because of the
Democratic backlashing."
John Harrell, 03 MK, said, "I
haven't really been impressed
with either (gubernatorial) can­didate.
"One of the (local) politicians
came to the Florida State foot­ball
game. I wasn't impressed.
People tried to tell him how
they felt about different issues,
but he seemed more interested
in his own opinions than in the
opinions of those who were
talking to him," Harrell said.
"I didn't bother to remember
who he was. To me, he was just
another politician, just like the
stereotype you think of when
you hear the word 'politician',"
Harrell said.
Caine Campbell, chairman of
the Lee County Democratic
Party, said he predicts the stu­dent
voting turnout will be
moderate.
Despite predictions of few
students voting, Rick Harlan,
Republican campaign adviser
said, "The student vote is
important in larger races
because students tend to set
trends to some extent, and also
the student voters now will be
voting for another 50 years."
Sam Pierce, Lee County com­missioner
from District 1 and
chairman of The Lee County
Republican Executive Commit­tee,
said "Eighty percent of the
students will vote Republican
this time. As far as the turnout,
we don't know. It would be to
our advantage to have a large
turnout of students.

Computer technology assists, encourages students
Auburn hosts computer competition;
50 Southeastern universities attend
Wade Williams
Editor
An Auburn team formed a
different kind of huddle at the
Auburn Hotel and Conference
Center Saturday.
Four Auburn students hud­dled
around a computer during
a regional playoff in the 15th
Annual Scholastic Program­ming
Contest conducted by the
Association for Computing
Machinery.
It was the second time
Auburn participated in the con­test
and the first time Auburn
hosted it, said Carolyn
McCreary, University computer
science professor and director
' of the event.
The contest drew 50 teams
from around the Southeast.
"Unfortunately, most of our
effort has gone into hosting the
event rather than coaching the
. team," she said.
Auburn finished 33rd, but
team member Rodney Size-
; more, 09 EC, said he wasn't ter­ribly
disappointed.
"We practiced as much as we
could and came in where we
should have for the amount of
time we practiced," he said.
"I think people were
' impressed with the facilities, the
department and the people.
That's what we were going for,"
''Sizemore said.
Teams had the choice of pro­gramming
in either Pascal or
* "C". The Auburn team chose
"C" and Sizemore said many of
the obstacles the team encoun-
* tered were problems with pro­gramming
in "C" rather than
difficulties with the program-
* ming problem itself.
The problems ranged from
calculating the number of ways
a given amount of change could
be produced to complex mathe­matical
problems.
Problems in past competitions
included how long it would
take to replace all the air in a
two-story home, identifying
patches of diseased vegetation
from satellite photographs and
predicting whether ships will
collide at night by observing the
position of their running lights.
The actual contest lasted for
five hours, and teams were
judged based on the number of
problems solved and amount of
penalty points accrued.
Penalty points were given for
such things as failed program
runs and additional time taken
to solve the problem.
The contest had two cate­gories:
a division one for
schools with graduate programs
in computer science and a divi­sion
two for schools without.
The top two teams from each
category will move on to the
International Computing Con­test
in San Antonio, Texas, dur­ing
March, McCreary said.
The University of Central
Florida and Florida Internation­al
University came in first and
second, respectively, in the divi­sion
one category.
Tennessee Technological Uni­versity
and Rhodes College of
Memphis, Tenn., came in first
and second, respectively, in the
division two category.
Other Auburn team members
were Mark Riddell, 04 CSE, Jon
Strang, 04 CPE, Russ Foster, 04
CS, and alternate Virgil Heath,
04 CPE.
Auburn computer science
professor Mel Phillips coached
the team.
Career fair informs
liberal arts students
Elizabeth Lander
• Assistant News Editor
In an effort to better prepare
• College of Liberal Arts students
for employment, the college is
hosting Career Fair Nov. 7 from
t 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Haley Center
lobby.
Mary Richards, dean of liber-
4 al arts, said Career Fair came
about as a result of two things.
College officers and students
, asked to have events to help
identify with the college better,
and surveys of graduating stu-dents
suggested the need for
more career counseling.
"The fair is designed to pro­vide
career information to liber­al
arts students," she said.
The purpose of the fair is to
give all liberal arts students the
opportunity to talk one-on-one
in an informal setting with suc­cessful
liberal arts alumni, she
said.
Recent Auburn graduates will
serve as representatives for the
„ various majors available in the
College of Liberal Arts.
"The representatives will be
m available to discuss the alterna­tives
and opportunities in their
careers," Richards said.
The fair is not designed to be
a recruiting service, but partici­pants
can probably suggest
appropriate channels and con-
* tacts to students, she said.
Students are likely to benefit

from inquiries regarding the
pros and cons of the jobs and
descriptions of typical work
days.
Richards said the representa­tives
were "very enthusiastic
and pleased we were interest­ed."
Brooks Lide will represent the
economics department at
Career Fair. Lide said he is par­ticipating
at the request of John
Jackson, head of the economics
department.
Lide received his undergrad­uate
degree in economics in
1981 and his graduate degree in
1985. He is currently working at
South Central Bell running
mathematical models and data
bases, he said.
All 15 of the college's depart­ments
will be represented,
Richards said. About 30 people
are expected to be on hand to
answer students' questions.
"Other schools, such as busi­ness
and engineering, already
have similar programs," she
said.
Liberal Arts Senior Academic
Adviser Bruce Blake said, "Stu­dents
will be asked to fill out an
evaluation of the program. Stu­dent
evaluations will determine
the future of Career Fair."

Macintosh festival draws 550 of Auburn's computer enthusiasts

Apples with software don't
grow on trees, but they
are sprouting throughout
Auburn's campus.
Darrell Huff, manager of a

more than 550 people attend­ed
the MacFest held Oct. 12 in

a series about the Age of Computing in Auburn
eral Arts, The Plainsman, and
the chemistry, fisheries, art
and foreign language depart­ments
were present to
demonstrate how they use the
Apple Macintosh in their
work.
"Our original application
for the Macintosh was to
interface it with a microscope
via a video camera to allow
us to automatically do mea­surements.
It's just grown
from there," Kyle Braund,
veterinary professor, said.
Braund said his lab now
does word processing, graph­ing,
faxing and data base
management for its diagnos­tic
lab using its two accelerat­ed
Mac Pluses and Mac IICX.
It also uses a program
called Bookends to keep track
of the 10 file cabinets full of
journal'article reprints.
Using Bookends and Current
Contents on Diskette, the lab
has been able to automate its
literature data base manage­ment
to the point where "a
task that used to take 30 min­utes
now only takes five min­utes,"
he said.

GA relaxes regulations, hopes to implement honor code
lartha Cronk
associate Editor
The SGA Senate removed a
tection of the SGA Code of
.avys on Monday regarding
Requirements for organizations
leeking a charter.
The section required an orga­nization
to submit 15 members'
jiames and officers to The Plains­man
for a minimum half-page
I d at the organization's
fxpense.
"It's just something we felt
/oiild help the smaller organi­sations,"
SGA Vice President
lerle Flowers said. It takes
away an expense they may be
unable to afford, he said.
Organizations will be
required to send the 15 names
to Student Affairs.
This year the SGA plans to
work with student presidents
and vice presidents of the col­leges
to format an honor code
for future freshmen, according
to Jennifer Milner, co-director of
academic honesty.
"Hopefully (the code) will
eventually be on everyone's
exams," she said. "We're hop­ing
we can get it in the Tiger
Cub and admissions applica­tions"
and precollege counsel­ing.
"In the far future we would
like to gear it toward lying and
stealing," she said.
SGA President Terry
McCarthy said the Eagle Escort
service should begin the week
after homecoming.
Applications are currently
being accepted and interviews
will be conducted Nov. 6-8.
Applicants' backgrounds will
be screened by computer.
In other discussion, McCarthy
said the dorms will remain
locked from midnight to noon,
because desk workers do not
arrive until noon.
Unlocking the door before
noon would allow anyone to
walk in unmonitored. This poli­cy
makes residents "feel more
secure," McCarthy said.
McCarthy also discussed
reserved student seating at foot­ball
games.
"If someone with that ticket
wants the seat, it must be relin­quished.
"It's been a problem for many
years," he said. "Chief (Jack)
Walton said he will inform the
patrolmen" that they are to
enforce the seating policy.
Traci Bryant, graduate stu­dent
representative, said, "Some
(students) sit in a reserved seat;
some don't. You have no unifor­mity
to it."
Flowers said by enforcing
reserved seats "you can come in
an hour before kickoff...instead
of waiting three or four hours in
line to get in the gate."
The SGA has worked to get
Bigio Drive, adjacent to the
intramural field, paved for three
years, Flowers said.
"It's something we are going
to take seriously this quarter.
We are going to have some
administrators answer some
questions soon."
In other Senate business, a
resolution was approved to
make Nov. 9 Band Apprecia­tion
Day.
Also, a cabinet position titled
liaison to facilities division was
approved.
"I feel like we needed (this
position) for a while," Flowers
said. "(McCarthy) wanted to
implement that...to get a better
grasp of what's going on with
construction."
In other business, Alpha Phi
Omega won the service organi­zation
of the year; Alpha
Epsilon Delta was named pro­fessional
organization of the
year; Baptist Campus Ministry
received the special interest
group award; and Angel Flight
and Arnold Air Society received
organization of the year award.

Mystery memorandum surfaces I Religion offers world insight
MEMORANDUM TO: College of Business Faculty
FROM: Danny Bellenger
Dean, College of Business
Please see
story-page 1
SUBJECT: Beauty and the Beast (Actors subject to your perspective)
Recent reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. I have not
resigned or been asked to resign, nor have I been fired. I have no intention
of resigning at this time; if I am fired, I'll tell you.
It is quite true that apparent decisions (communicated verbally) by
Dr. Henry have removed the Economics Department from the administra­tive
authority of the College of Business. I have told Dr. Henry that I
assume no responsibility for the Department without authority. In effect,
Dr. Henry has removed Economics from the College. The Department will
report to Dr. Henry on all personnel, financial, student, and other matters
unless the authority essential for some other organizational arrangement is
established. Although this runs counter to my concept of sound organiza­tional
principles, the practical effect is not without merit.

Kriste Goad
Assistant News Editor
Religion has often been sur­rounded
by controversy, but
Auburn's religion department
now surrounds a controversial
scholar.
Auburn's religion department
was established in 1973 under
University President Harry M.
Philpott, in honor of whom the
Goodwin-Philpott Eminent
Scholar position in religion was
donated.
Further study of this religious
topic leads to the Rev. Charles
Curran's recent denial of tenure
by President James E. Martin
and the effect it has had and
will have on the religion depart­ment.
"We've gotten very visible
from all the media coverage,"
Richard Penaskovic, head of the
religion department, said.
A fact sheet released by the
University said, "The Universi­ty's
program in religion may be
better served by having visiting
scholars fill this position. The
chair would then be available
on a rotating basis and scholars
of different faiths could be
appointed."
The fact sheet was written in
response to inquiries about Cur-ran,
Herb White, director of
University Relations, said.
But Penaskovic said, "We're
more likely to get a high-pow­ered
scholar if it's a permanent
position."
Students will suffer the conse­quences
of this situation,
Penaskovic said, because most
of them will never hear Curran
lecture, much less be influenced
by his teaching.
In reference to the fact sheet,
one Auburn faculty member
said, "That news release
reminds me of the Russian daily
Pravda which also was into giv­ing
the party line. It's a piece of
slanted propaganda."
White said, 'The fact sheet we
released was not intended in
any way to undermine the reli­gion
department."
The Alabama Commission on
Higher Education (ACHE) is
conducting a study of certain
departments at certain universi­ties
in relation to the need and
demand for funding, White
said.
When the study is complete,
changes in departments may
occur, he said.
"From the standpoint of try­ing
to allocate scarce money,
ACHE is trying to find ways to
phase out certain programs and
move them to like programs at
other universities where that
program is stronger or put such
programs in with another
department within the same
university," White said.
"It ( the religion department
at Auburn) may be a candidate
for such action," he said.
"Money and people must go
into areas that need them
most," White said.
Jeff Damron, doctoral student
in counseling at Student Devel­opment
Services, is an avoca-tional
student of religion and
has audited religion classes at
Auburn.
Damron said, "Religion at a
state university is a positive
thing. So much of our culture,
such as morality and legal sys­tems,
is based on religion. It's
important because of its empha­sis
on ethics that applies to just
about every walk of life."
"I think the religion depart­ment
is an asset to the Universi­ty,
and I don't think a lot of
people think of it that way,"
Damron said.
Penaskovic said, "We must
ask ourselves to what extent
does a particular subject like
religion help us understand our
world."
Few people major in religion
because majors relate to jobs,
and there is a limited number of
jobs in religion, he said.
"A study of religion will not
supply knowledge that can be
easily converted into skills one
can sell," he said.
There are about eight stu­dents
currently enrolled as reli­gion
majors or minors,
Penaskovic said, with about
four graduates a year in the
department.
"We're a service department,"
he said. "Our courses are very
popular."
He said more than 600 stu­dents
have enrolled in religion
courses each year in the past
three years.
Enrollment in religion courses
increased 30 percent from 1984,
when Penaskovic first became
head of the department, to 1987,
he said.
Nine out of 10 universities in
the SEC have a religion or phi­losophy
of religion department,
he said.

Tuscaloosa students introduce alcohol policy
The University of Alabama has implemented a new alcohol
policy that allows campus groups to serve alcohol to students
who are of legal drinking age. Twenty-one-year-old students
living in residence halls are also allowed to drink in their rooms.
The new policy was student-proposed after the
administration failed to initiate its alcohol policy last spring.
That policy stated that all students must bring their own drinks
to any party.
Georgia
University policy may include homosexuals
Gay men and lesbians at the University of Georgia may soon
be part of the university's non-discrimination policy. The
proposed amendment was rejected by University President
Charles Knapp. Knapp said he rejected the proposal because of
the problem it might cause for the ROTC program, not because
of the sexual orientation.
If passed, it may cause conflicts with the ROTC program since
the Department of Defense can legally discriminate.
Alabama A&M
President appeals sexual harassment charges
Carl Marbury, Alabama A&M's president, is appealing
charges that he engaged in sexual affairs with two university
employees. Beth Kennamore, one of the women Marbury was
allegedly involved with, is now saying her attorney exploited
the relationship.
Marbury was accused of sexual harassment and sentenced to
pay a $90,000 fine.

Gay and Lesbian club goes public
• Editor's Note:
Full names in this article have
been withheld by request for
anonymity.
Daphne Shi
Staff Writer
One year after its establish­ment,
the Auburn Gay and Les­bian
Association was publicly
identified by its club table on
the concourse last week as part
of Organizations' Day.
A large banner across its table
read, "We are your classmates,
we are your teachers, we are,
your friends, we are your fami­ly."
The two presidents, Pam, 23,
and Joey, 22, said they were try­ing
to get the message across
that "gay people can be any­where."
There wasn't much harass­ment
that day and some
showed their support, Pam
said.
"In many ways we're no dif­ferent
than anyone else; the
basis for relationships are the
same," Pam said.
Other similar groups were
formed in the past but dissolved
for various reasons.
The Gay and Lesbian Associa­tion
is not officially chartered,
but is in the process of getting
approval. The group has
opposed an SGA requirement
for clubs to print the names of
15 members in The Plainsman
in order to get a charter.
"It's unconstitutional to make
us publish our names," Pam
said. "(Members) don't want
their names published for safety
reasons," she said. In the past,
gay students have been beaten
and humiliated, she said.
Some club members currently
receive nasty messages on their
answering machines, and club
flyers and posters have been
taken down.
The Gay and Lesbian Associa­tion
is an educational and social
support group, not group thera­py-
"It's not a dating service,"
Joey said.
The weekly meetings focus on
educational topics and the plan­ning
of group events, such as
cookouts and socials. After
each meeting, everyone goes to
a restaurant to socialize.
The 43 official members
include students, graduate stu­dents,
faculty, residents of
Auburn and people from near­by
cities. There are also two het­erosexual
women who attend to
show their support.
It is a campus organization
and caters mostly to students,
but also welcomes people from
the community, Joey said.
Most of its members are
males.
"We want to reach gay
women and gay men but can't
seem to attract women," Pam
said. For this reason, there are
two presidents, one of each gen­der.
The association's goal is to
have each equally represented.
Joey and Pam are founding
members of the chapter and
were elected presidents last
month.
Joey said he has gained
"friendship and strength in
numbers" from club member­ship.
Joey has "come out," or gone
public, with his sexuality with­in
the last two years. Pam said
she came out since she joined
the chapter.
Pam said, "I've made friends,
and it has helped me to find out
what's going on in the gay com­munity."

Goodling provides leadership
Britt Blake
Staff Writer
John S. Goodling was named
head of mechanical engineering
on Oct. 1, after 22 years with the
department.
Being named head of the
department "provides me with
an opportunity to direct the
strengths of our excellent facul­ty
in a concerted manner to
make the (Auburn mechanical
engineering department) a pre­mier
department in the coun­try,"
Goodling said.
Jim Killian, associate editor
within the College of Engineer­ing,
said Goodling will be an
asset to the engineering depart­ment
because he has much
experience in his field.
"He will be a catalyst for the
faculty," he said. "He's familiar
with the program, and he has
the support of the dean."
Goodling, who received his
bachelor's, master's and doctor­al
degrees from the University
of Florida, has been assistant
department head for four years.
In addition to teaching,

John S. Goodling
Goodling has served on several
committees in his years at
Auburn, including the Universi­ty
Core Curriculum Commis­sion.
"That was a three-year study
to revitalize a core that had,
through the years, been inter­preted
and modified such that it
was not as coherent as it was
originally intended. We brought
it back together again,"
Goodling said.
In 1986, Goodling and two
members of the mechanical
engineering department, Nels
Madsen and Bryan Chin, won
the William Sparagen Award of
the American Welding Society
for the best research paper.
The paper was about the
welding process, which is a fair­ly
important industrial manu­facturing
process, he said.
"The exciting thing about
being in the University setting
is that you get the opportunity
to direct young minds. You can
direct students in a very posi­tive
way. You can motivate
them. You can stimulate them.
...That's why most of us are
here. ...I'll continue to teach,
and I'm excited about that," he
said.
Goodling said he will conti­nue
to encourage projects such
as the General Motors Sunrayce,
a race of solar-powered vehicles
built by college engineering stu­dents,
because they give stu­dents
an opportunity to apply
what they learn in the class­room.
Goodling has published more
than 40 professional papers and
was an adviser to the mechani­cal
engineering honorary, Pi
Tau Sigma.

The state has passed a law establishing
window tinting regulations. Violations
Staff photo by Owen Barnes
can result in up to a $100 fine. Police
use light meters and cards to test tint.
Window tinting may bring fines
Owen Barnes
Staff Writer
Drivers of cars with heavily
tinted or reflective glass will be
subject to $100 fines beginning
March 1.
The Legislative Council of
Alabama upheld a state Depart­ment
of Public Safety standard
Oct. 24 which enforces regula­tions
on the transparency of
motor vehicle glass.
The restrictions are based on a
Georgia law that specifies meth­ods
of measuring available light
blocked or reflected.
The Alabama version of the
law states motor vehicle glass is
illegally tinted if less than 32
percent of available light is able
to pass through it. Glass is also
illegal if it has been treated to
increase reflection by more than
20 percent.
Doris Teague, spokeswoman
for the Alabama Department of
Public Safety in Montgomery,
said law enforcement officers
are in favor of regulating win­dow
tinting.
Compliance with the law pro­vides
additional safety for offi­cers
approaching cars, she said,
because they can get "a better
idea of what's in the car."
Enforcement details are being
worked out, Teague said.
A law officer may stop a vehi­cle
for window inspection based
on personal experience with
illegally tinted auto glass, she
said. Discretionary enforcement
will play a large role in the sys­tem.
Light meters and cards
viewed through glass are two
methods that may be used to
determine the legality of tint,
she said.
In the near future, the cards
will be made available to the
public, along with information
on how to check glass to deter­mine
if it's legally tinted, she
said.
"The state may offer inspec­tion
of window tinting. I don't
know at this point," Teague
said.
The law contains a provision
for medical exemption. Persons
suffering from photophobia
(light sensitivity) or skin cancer
may have their glass tinted
beyond the legal limit, Teague
said.
An application to the Depart­ment
of Public Safety for
exemption must be accompa­nied
by a doctor's statement.
Any motor vehicle already
equipped with glass that does
not comply must be changed
by March 1.
Michael Conway, a represen­tative
of Auburn's Accent/
Trimline, a company specializ­ing
in auto glass tinting, said,
"To remove window tint, the
film peels off easily. The adhe­sive
sticks to the glass, though,
and an ammonia-based solvent
must be used. Lots of times a
razor blade or very fine steel
wool is needed, too," he said.
The company stocks three
gradients of tinting: 35 percent,
20 percent and 5 percent. The
darkest tint, 5 percent, is most
often used on limousines, he
said.
Conway said in states with
glass-tinting restrictions such as
Georgia, installers of tinting ,
affix a postage stamp-sized
label stating that the tint com­plies
with state law.
"The new law will cut into
our business, but it won't shut
us down," Conway said.
Factory-installed tinting may
also be affected by the ruling.
Tony Cofield, new car manager
for a dealer in Auburn, said
General Motors will install only
"very light " tinting on car
glass.
Utility vehicles, such as vans,
can be ordered with "dark" tint­ing
on all glass but the wind- •
shield and driver- and passen­ger-
side windows, he said.
Cofield said, "It's never been *
an issue before. I guess we'll
have to pay attention and see
what happens."
Alabama law states that a
windshield may be tinted from
the top of the windshield to a
point eight inches below.
