Sefton sworn in as SGA president

his controversial term. See

Michael Montgomery
Staff Writer
The changing of the SGA guard
officially took place Monday night.
Pat Sefton was sworn in as the new
president during a ceremony at the
Auburn Hotel and Conference
Center.
Pat Barnes, vice president for
student affairs, inducted Sefton and
the other incoming officers before a
crowd of about 250 people.
In an interview before the
ceremony, Sefton discussed some
of his plans for the SGA next year.
"Right now, my biggest concern
is getting the Cabinet picked and
getting the normal SGA operations
underway," he said.
Sefton plans to have selected a
new Cabinet by early next week.
After interviewing several
candidates, Sefton named Scott
Johnson, his opponent in last
week's runoff, as his administrative
vice president.
"I felt Scott had a lot of good
goals, and he was very motivated,"
he said. "He is an innovator, and he
will be very good for the SGA in
that respect."
Sefton said both he and Johnson
saw eye-to-eye on many of the
issues facing the Auburn campus,
and this was one of the main
reasons he picked Johnson for the
position.
"Scott and I will both be a part of
the Cabinet interviews," Sefton
said.
"The final decision will
ultimately be mine, but I plan to
listen to (Johnson's) advice for
every position."
Sefton also talked about some of
his plans for the immediate future.
"Proration is by far the most
pressing issue," he said. "I have
made two trips to the Legislature
since 1 was elected.
"We have got to have a presence
in Montgomery to let the House and
Senate know that we need increased
funding. We cannot afford to go
through another year of proration.
'The appointment of the director
of the lobbying board will be one of
the most important decisions I will
make," he said.
"I think the number of applicants
for that position reflects the concern
students have over the lack of funds
within the state for education and
the need for tax reform."
Sefton said he plans to draw up a
proposal for the Board of Trustees
which would ask them to
incorporate the referendum to
increase student activities fees.
The referendum, recently passed
in SGA elections, will help fund
organizations such as the UPC and

Pat Barnes at the SGA induction ceremony Monday.
The Glomerata.
Sefton said some of his other
short-term plans include securing
more money for the campus
lighting fund.
"I plan to ask many of the
organizations that will benefit from
the lighting to give donations to the
fund, such as the hill dorms," he
said.
Sefton said he also hopes to
secure increased funding for Eagle
Watch.
"(The Eagle Watch director) will
be one of the hardest positions for
me to fill because I feel that safety
on campus is one of the more
pressing issues right now," he said.
He said one of the ways he has
already secured additional funding

House passes
Turnham's bill
Michael Montgomery
Staff Writer
A bill introduced by Pete
Turnham (D-Auburn) prohibiting
the use of state funds by
homosexual groups passed
unanimously (74-0) in the House
of Representatives and could be
voted on by the Senate as early as
next Tuesday.
The bill is now in the Senate,
and needs Senate approval to
become law. The bill was
unanimously passed in the Senate
Health Committee Tuesday by a
vote of 10-0. The bill is likely to
be read today on the Senate floor.
It will be read for a second
time on the next legislative day,
probably next Tuesday. At that
time a vote will be taken on the
bill.
Turnham said he sees the bill
passing the Senate without any
problems.
"I do not believe there will be a
dissenting vote in the Senate, just
like there was not one in the
House," Turnham said.
"The bill is quite clear and to
the point," he said. "We tried
very hard to insure that it would
pass safely."
The bill prohibits "any college
or university from spending
public funds to sanction any
group that promotes a lifestyle
prohibited by the sodomy and
sexual misconduct laws" of the
state of Alabama.
Turnham said he was not sure
whether the bill could be used to
prohibit groups like the Auburn
Gay and Lesbian Association
from using buildings which were
built with state funds.
Members of the AGLA could
not be reached for comment.
"I do not know whether
buildings like the Student
Activities Building or the union
were built with state funds or
not," Turnham said.
"If they were, then we will
definitely have to look into the
situation."
Turnham said the final
decision about the AGLA will
ultimately come from the
university. He said the legislators
did not write the bill in order to
prohibit the AGLA from
meeting, only to prohibit them
from gaining access to state
funds.

Butler receives suspension
Jay Evans
Assistant News Editor
University officials have suspended Auburn track
team member Andrew Butler, 02VADD, from
competition through winter quarter of next year,
according a Birmingham News/Post-Herald report.
Butler pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges of
indecent exposure occurring at Ralph B. Draughon
Library. Three students to whom Butler exposed
himself requested Butler be expelled from school. In
addition to his athletic suspension, Butler was ordered
to 150 hours of community service, and is barred from
holding any elected or appointed office on campus.
In his trial in the Auburn Municipal Court, Butler
was fined S375 and ordered to undergo counseling.
Vice President of Student Affairs Pat Barnes refused
to comment on the punishment, but said, "One of the
best things about (the discipline committee) is that we
provide due process and equal and fair treatment for all
students."
Sports Information Director David Housel also
refused to comment on the case, but said, "The matter
is between the University, student affairs and (Butler)."

I W O a I r e S I C I l - a f t e r nighttime assault
Tricia Holdefer
Staff Writer
Opelika police arrested two men
last weekend at the Carmike Cinema
located in Midway Plaza in
connection with one of two assaults
reported at local theatres.
Last Saturday evening, 21-year-old
James Christopher Graham and
18-year-old George Ester Warren
were arrested after they assaulted a
couple as they were leaving the
theatre.
Graham was charged with
harassment and second degree
criminal mischief.
Warren was also charged with
second degree criminal mischief and
two counts of reckless
endangerment. Both men are from
Opelika.
Opelika Police Capt. Tommy
Barnes said, "This was a random
incident."
He said he believes there was no
probable cause. "They weren't
drunk or on drugs that we know of,"
Barnes said. The men did not
demand anything from the victims.
The case will be tried May 4.
A similar incident occurred in the
parking lot of Litchfield Cinema
(now owned by Carmike) Saturday
evening.

City Council votes to limit smoking
Kelley Phyfer
Staff Writer
A long-debated ordinance
restricting public smoking was
passed at Tuesday night's City
Council meeting. The ordinance
restricts smoking in public to
designated smoking areas.
All council members voted for
the ordinance except Kenneth H.
Brown. Brown, who is a smoker,
said 95 percent of what is covered
in the ordinance is already done
voluntarily. "I hate to see this
encroachment on private
businesses," he said.
The ordinance defines public
places as commercial
establishments, retail stores,
restaurants, banks, office buildings
and offices, among others. It also
includes public transportation
vehicles such as buses and taxicabs.
According to the ordinance,
entire public places can be
established as smoking areas,
including rooms or halls used for
private social functions, separate
bar areas of restaurants or licensed
lounges.
Violation of the new ordinance
could result in fines no less than
$10 and no more than $500. Any
business owner, person in charge of
a public place or employer who
INSIDE
doesn't designate smoking and non­smoking
areas couid also be fined.
Within the next 3 months, all
Auburn businesses must implement
the ordinance.
The ordinance failed to pass at its
first reading April 7 because first-time
agenda items must have
unanimous approval to pass, and
Brown gave a dissenting vote. Only
a majority approval is required to
pass its second time on the agenda.

Alabama loses finances in job training
Because of an improved unemployment rate, Alabama will lose $7.6
million of its federal job training money to states which are faring
worse. The U.S. Job Training Partnership Act program lost about $1.9
million last year and is slated to lose about $5.7 million July 1, Ken
Trucks, chief of the Alabama service delivery area, said.

Double murderer executed in California
Robert Alton Harris was put to death in the gas chamber Tuesday after
the U.S. Supreme Court lifted a stay that had blocked California's first exe­cution
in 25 years. Harris was executed after a night of contests between
the Supreme Court and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals which result­ed
in four stays before the final call that precluded the execution.
Miranda rights issue returns to court
Monday, the Supreme Court agreed to review limitations on the federal
courts' power to "second-guess" state judges who have found no violation
of a defendant's Miranda rights, according to the Birmingham Post-Herald.
The case centers around a Michigan case in which a federal court with­drew
a murder conviction because the defendant's confession was not vol­untary,
a violation of the Supreme Court ruling in Miranda vs. Arizona.

Waggoner views past year as successful
Ryan Gay/Sttff
Former SGA president Jon Waggoner speaks at the 1992-93 SGA
induction ceremony Monday night at the Conference Center.
Wendy Francis
Staff Writer
The SGA waved good-bye to Jon
Waggoner Monday night as
President Pat Sefton was
inaugurated.
Waggoner said he views his term
as a success for the University and
said his administration did the best
job possible to represent the student
body.
"Aside from maintaining normal
SGA responsibilities, I believe that
relations with- the legislature, local
area government and the business
community have been improved,"
he said.
Overall, Waggoner said,.he thinks
his term accomplished its goals, but
there is still much he would like to
'I think Auburn is becoming more aware of issues
other schools have been facing for years, and I
think we will face these issues with the same
conservative moral attitude Auburn has used in the
past'
-Jon Waggoner
see happen in the next year.
'There are a lot of things I would
like to see done. I'm a perfectionist.
I'm never completely satisfied.
"I encourage more students to get
involved with the SGA before
elections."
Waggoner said he was pleased
with student participation during
this year's elections.
"As far as our voter turnout, there
was apathy. But if you compare our
turnout with other universities in
Alabama and Georgia, we far
exceed many of these," he said.
"Pat (Sefton) is going to be
unbelievable. He has done an
excellent job by appointing Scott
Johnson as his administrative vice
president. Scott will make sure Pat
has the time he needs to work off
campus."
Waggoner said he thinks Sefton
will do a good job as Auburn's SGA
president.
Waggoner said he is satisfied with
the manner in which the SGA dealt
with the Auburn Gay and Lesbian
Association's request for a charter.
He said he thought the majority of
the students were happy with the
way the situation was handled, and
if given another chance, he would
change nothing.
"I think Auburn is becoming more
aware of issues that other schools
have been facing for years, and I
think we will face those issues with
the same conservative moral attitude
that Auburn has used in the past."
Waggoner graduates in June, and
He said he is seeking a job with the
Republican Party or the Alabama
Family Alliance.

Samford Hall bats get new home
Renovation to Samford
requires night fliers
to be moved
Phil Crigler
Staff Writer
The continuing saga regarding
the bats in Samford Hall may be
coming to an end, Stan Drake,
Auburn assistant vice president of
the facilities department, said.
Bids are currently being accepted
for renovations of Samford Hall
which will eliminate the dwelling
place for the Big Brown and
Brazilian free-tail bats.
These species of bats are threat­ened
in Alabama, and the facilities
division is making every effort to
save them, Drake said.
Construction is underway for a
new bat house which will provide
the bats with a place to live.
The bat house resembles a beach
house. It stands 35 to 40 feet high
on pole pilings and measures 12 by
16 feet. The rafter construction of
their Samford Hall dwelling has
been duplicated in the bat house.
It has been constructed to supply
the warm, stale and dark environ­ment
the bats like so much in Sam­ford.
Weather permitting, the house
should be ready by Friday, Drake
said.
The bat house will be located
across from the Ham Wilson build­ing
on Donahue Street.
Dr. Troy Best, an assistant pro­fessor
of zoology and wildlife sci­ence,
has been working closely
with Drake to make the moving of
the bats a successful one.
He said the problem of moving
the bats came about because of the
renovation scheduled to begin on
Samford Hall this summer.
Drake said, "The idea is to cap­ture
the bats as they exit Samford
at night and carry them to the new
house so they can begin to return to
their new house the following
morning.
"Once the bats have gone into
'We're going to depend on the bats to remember
where their new home is, because we will not
have them trapped in there.'
-Stan Drake
the new house one time, they
should begin to return to it on their
own without trying to get back to
Samford.
"We're going to depend on the
bats to remember where their new
home is because we will not have
them trapped in there."
The repairs to Samford Hall will
seal off the entrance to the belfry's
rafters where the bat colonies are
living. Since these bats require cer­tain
living conditions, it might be
difficult for them to survive before
finding a similar environment.
Best said, "The bats are currently
in the middle of their gestation
period, and this move could cause a
problem. But we're not sure if it
will because this has never been
done before. It is a delicate period
for the bats, so we'll just have to
wait and see.
'The bats are used to going and
coming to the same place for so
long (SO years), it may cause a
problem. Some of the bats could
die if they don't make the adjust­ment
and remember where their
new home is."
Drake said the work on Samford
Hall is scheduled to begin in the
next month or so.
He said he hopes the bats can be
relocated and adjusted to their new
home by the time renovation
begins.

Auburn's fair share
^ ^ ne of the main topics this year has been proration, and for
good reason; the state of Alabama is hurting financially. But some­thing
that hasn't been mentioned nearly enough is the way the state
currently divides its money.
Apparently, the legislature's consideration is "How much can
we give to University of Alabama, and how can we spread the rest
of the money around to the other schools?" For years, Auburn,
which is larger than Alabama in enrollment but not in graduates
sent to the legislature, has been the ugly step-child when it comes to
receiving funds. The distribution is so uneven that Alabama gets
about three times as much money per student than Auburn does.
Believe it or not, that figure has improved in the past decade,
thanks to the hard work of former president James E. Martin. Mar­tin
lobbied the legislature, called on contacts and let it be known
publicly that he wanted to eradicate the differences in funding.
Now that he is gone that responsibility falls to President
William V. Muse. If a more equitable distribution of funds is one of
Muse's goals then he has yet to make it a public one. He needs to.
Auburn should receive is its fair share, but it never has. So the
responsibility is Muse's to continue working for fiscal equality.
Don't drink the water
I he city water supply has previously been called unsanitary
because of cow droppings in the streams, but a recent ruling may
make all state residents wish cow feces was the only problem with
the water.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management
(ADEM) recently upheld state regulations that allow large quanti­ties
of dioxin to be dumped into Alabama's water supply. Dioxin is
a by-product of paper and pulp bleaching, and 10 plants currently
release it into the water, creating an unacceptable amount by most
standards. Alabama, however, tolerates more of this chemical in the
water than most other states, and its accepted level is 86 percent
higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended
level.
Dioxin is a proven carcinogen, or cancer causer, in lab ani­mals,
and many experts believe it has the same effect on humans. A
recent U.S. News and World Report called dioxin one of the deadli­est
carcinogens, saying, "Dioxin looks more dangerous to human
health now than ever." The article goes on to say in addition to can­cer,
the chemical could possibly cause neurological and reproduc­tion
disorders.
In light of the overwhelming health risks, there can only be
one reason Alabama would allow such levels - money. The paper
industry in this state has an extensive lobbying system and provides
thousands of jobs to residents. Although most other states would
never allow companies to get away with poisoning the water sup­ply,
the paper producers in Alabama still threaten to take their busi­nesses
and jobs to another state.
While employing Alabama citizens is important, so is keeping
those same people healthy, and that can't be done while the recent
ADEM ruling is in effect. The case is up for review, and someone
in this state needs to take a stand against dioxin before it is too late.
After the revolu­tion
of 1918, the Bol­shevik
or communist
party that had taken
over Russia saw die
need for propaganda.
They needed to win
and keep support for
their rule. They need­ed
to pacify the peo­ple,
and hoped to
convince the world
that their way of gov­ernment
was going to
be a dominating force forever.
With those thoughts in mind,
Pravda was created.
Designed to be the voice of the
communist party, Pravda stood for
many years as just that
When Communism failed last
summer, the future of Pravda
became unknown. It continued to
espouse the same limited ideas, but
its means of support - the commu­nist
party - was no longer in a posi­tion
to provide financial support.
The paper folded within months.
Then Wall Street came to the res­cue.
Two weeks ago an American
bank loaned the newspaper the
money it needed to
stay in business.
Think about that
for a second.
Capitalism has
saved the voice of
the communist
party.
Any day now
there could be a
grand earthquake
due to the hundreds
of dead patriots,
American and Sovi­et
alike, that are simultaneously
rolling over in their graves.
But I don't think Karl Marx will
be rolling with the rest of the mass­es.
Marx, the philosopher who creat­ed
the socialist theory that Soviet
communism was loosely based on,
has been under fire lately. Because
of the number of communist fail­ures
in the past several years, Marx
has been vilified as having pro­posed
a useless method of com­merce.
While many conservatives have
always argued that any form of
socialism is useless, Marx can't be
blamed for the Soviet Union or
Eastern Europe. You see, those
governments were communist and
not truly socialist countries and
didn't actually meet Marx's stan­dards
for socialism.
What's the difference, you ask?
"Better Dead than Red," right?
"Free trade for free people," you
say. "Don't take away human rights
(at least from the moral majority),"
the crowd yells. Okay, slow down
and let me explain.
In Marxist theory, people start as
nomads, and each civilization
works its way through five stages.
After nomadic tribes comes feudal
domains. Then comes dictatorships
or royal kingdoms. That is followed
by capitalism and finally the penul­timate
stage, socialism.
It is important to note each stage
is forced by the previous one's
inadequacies in meeting the needs
of the people.
So true socialism can not exist
unless it has been devised as an
answer to the problems of capital­ism.
The Soviet Union/Russia, for
example, was a royal kingdom, not
a capitalist country, so it never
evolved into a true Marxist state. So
Marx still rests in peace.
Now, before I start a Marxist
scare, let me say this. Don't start
thinking socialism will engulf our
country anytime soon. Although in
theory that possibility exists, espe­cially
if the working class rises up
to kill the overpaid CEO class, the
principals of democracy are too
ingrained in our people for true
socialism to be given a chance here.
Our founding fathers, who inci­dentally
also weren't rolling over in
their graves when the Pravda news
broke, gave the people sufficient
power to provide for themselves.
The power to vote, to earn money,
to speak and exist freely and to
work for a better union.
If the people don't even exercise
those rights, then they certainly
won't try revolting for a socialist
society as an alternative. Socialized
health care or welfare may exist,
but a socialized economy isn't
forthcoming.
Capitalism is alive and kicking so
hard that, occasionally, it even pre­serves
the "enemy."
Democratic values reveal dream variations
In the final hours
of the 20th century,
one might innocendy
suppose there are
determinate, even
obvious, differences
between good poli­tics
and bad.
But as a result of
either the condigned
cynicisms of a disil­lusioned
electorate
or the grotesque
vicissitudes of the
American political process itself,
idealism and its attendant rhetoric
are as passe as the old style politics
they once characterized.
Democratic government, as it is
popularly conceived, does not exist
because there is no popular, main­stream
conception of democracy,
no palpable, systemic conviction to
its history or its possibilities.
Thus, politicians can define the
SCOn WILKERSON
PERSPECTIVE EDITOR
structure of democ­racy
exactiy as they
understand it, revis­ing
their vision to
square with the pre­vailing
political
mode. And it is pre­cisely
this mutability
which imperils the'
advance of legiti­mate,
holistic demo­cratic
governmental
forms.
Democracy, as an
institution, is wildly paradoxical as
it must, by definition, permit, even
sponsor, internal dissent and vigor­ous
debate about its own validity.
Similarly, democratic con­stituents
are in the ironic position of
operating in a machinery which,
theoretically, could conspire toward
its own disassembly.
The sophisticated transience of
those moments in democratic
thought when the individual seems
as empowered as the government
appears exponentially more sophis­ticated
when we thrill ourselves
with the placidly pedestrian obser­vation
that governments are com­posed
of individuals or, more to the
point, individuals are governments.
As many different groups and
ideologies converge on the dream
of democracy, American culture
should reconstrue its political histo­ry
with respect to its interior demo­cratic
intentions so that a singular,
idiomatic view of freedom emerges,
and thus align Americans with their
political and intellectual heritage.
To the extent there are any rea­sonable
alternatives to democratic
government, it may be worth noting
Marxist ideals were never, except
metaphorically, posited in celebra­tion
of the individual. And the indi­vidual
was never, except perhaps
slightly better than metaphorically,
accepted into the Marxist mecha­nism.
Political identity is a serious mat­ter,
especially if the questions are
not merely ideological, but also
substantive.
Typically, political language is
imbued with references to
"progress."
And certainly, change is among
the principal preoccupations of
public policy, but politics moves in
vectors of both progress and
entropy.
A vigilant maintenance of coher­ent,
democratic theory must consti­tute
the foundation of the liberal
imagination, by which I mean, of
course, the ebullient, yet responsi­ble
fantasies of freedom for every
citizen in a polity.
Otherwise, the noblest desires of
thinkers will be consigned to the
elegant permutability of wishful
thinking.

Death penalty ineffective, cruel punishment
The execution of
Robert Alton Harris
has once again
brought conspicuity
to the nature of capi­tal
punishment in
Western civilization,
a civilization that has
prided itself on both
a superior moral
stance and a funda­mental
reliance on
rationale and reason.
The remarkable
yet embarrassing
case of Harris serves to affirm the
cynicism often directed to the judi­cial
system of the United States.
That the United States is the only
country in Western civilization to
have a legalized, systematic form of
capital punishment is striking
indeed but that the system's effica­cy
is in severe doubt is problematic.
Is capital punishment potent?
Does it strike the fear of the god-state
in the hearts of potential crim­inals?
JOHN SEABORN
ASST. PERSPECTIVE
EDITOR
Does it truly
effect a positive
retaliation or is it
merely an antiquat­ed
Mosaic code? Is
it democratic?
These problems
must be addressed
and these questions
must be answered in
evaluating the
record of capital
punishment.
Two justices on
the Supreme Court,
John Paul Stevens and Harry A.
Blackmun, were the dissenters in
the ruling Tuesday that alleviated
the stay on Harris' execution, say­ing
that death by the gas chamber
constituted cruel and unusual pun­ishment
and thus violated the
Eighth Amendment. Former liber­als
such as Brennan and Marshall
have also gone on record to declare
the unsavory characteristics of capi­tal
punishment.
Personally, I see executi^i as
barbaric; it is exclusively a negative
punishment, a punishment that does
not recompensate the victim in any
corporeal sense and certainly does
not incorporate a rehabilitation for
the criminal.
Unfortunately, filthy lucre has
played its abnormally large role in
making our decisions for us.
Lengthy prison stays cost far too
much, a consideration that has con­siderably
swayed a jaded, cynical
public into the arms of an electric
chair and the soothing rope burn of
a noose.
Perhaps my aversion to capital
punishment would not be so strong
if its efficacy were increased. But
how is that to be accomplished?
Some have proposed that a truly
effective punishment can come
only when the crime is given "sin­ful'
status, that the criminal has
offended God and man, mostly
God, and must pay for his willful
disregard for authority severely in a
corporeal manner. Death is too
lenient; bodily disfiguration, plum­ing
and torture are called for.
Punishment is swiftly executed
but the actual ritual is long and
drawn out, yet mercifully short
compared to the eternal fires of
damnation. This style of execution
is exemplified by mediaeval pun­ishments,
and presently by Islamic
and Shinto governments.
Problems, problems! Even in this
"godless" society, these punish­ments
would probably encourage
no litde cooperation with authority.
But are we to sacrifice humanity for
efficacy? The problem seems to
stem that the only freedom govern­ment
can guarantee is a negative
one - a freedom "from" and not
"of."
Historically, we have seen a lib­eralizing
process at work in the
ideas of punishment and discipline.
We no longer have the iron maiden
or the rack. We no longer draw and
quarter the supposed enemies of the
state. We should not impede the
process of this "humane" factor; we
should, most likely, Velcome it.

Protestors violate Constitution
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Kappa Alpha Old South
parade is just around the corner.
Hopefully this year, the protesters
will not attempt to ruin it for the
people who do wish to see it Their
protesting is the ultimate display of
arrogance. Apparently they believe
their views should be the views of
everyone.
The parade is somewhat like
television. I may not like what is on
the TV, but I don't feel like it's my
duty to be guardian of the airways
and see that the program is stopped.
The issue of the Kappa Alpha
Old South parade is not one of
"race" or "political correctness." It
is an issue of initiating the use of
force against other people. There
are several other groups on campus
who would like to see this parade
.banned by the University. What
they are in effect saying is, "We
want to use force to make you do
what we consider to be correct." It
should be noted that the notion of
correctness is extremely subjective.
Besides the issue of force, the
protesters of the parade are
attempting to deny the Kappa Alpha
fraternity free expression. One
could argue the protesters are also
engaged in free expression - not
true. They are attempting to stop
free expression. This is a very
important difference. I can see how
the parade might bother some
individuals, but I didn't hear of
anyone who was forced to watch it
at gun point
No one is forced to participate in
this parade. No one is forced to
attend. So the only people actually
initiating the use of force are the
protesters themselves. It seems
ironic that the people who were
victims of force during the Old
South are the ones shouting the
loudest for force to be used against
the Kappa Alpha fraternity. Perhaps
it's true, we learn very little from
history.
The fact that the protesters are
attempting to manipulate the
University administration into
doing their dirty work makes no
difference. They are initiating the
use of force, and they, not the
Kappa Alpha fraternity, are in the
wrong.

10 years ago, 1982: The SGA denied The Collegiate Association for the Reasearch of Principles' request for
permission to distribute publicity and membership materials on campus. The administration later reversed that
decision.
15 years ago, 1977: A Plainsman article declared that despite the growing interest in vegetarianism, meat
remained "... as popular as Santa Claus."

"I don't want to be unnecessarily exposed to insecticides. I also don't want a dozen german cockroaches run­ning
through my salad. There has got to be a balance," Eric P. Benson, assistant professor of entomology, said
regarding insect control.
Paper can be easily recycled Republican speaks against Pete
Editor, The Plainsman:
It's another beautiful Thursday
here in Auburn, and you just
snagged The Plainsman to read
while you soak up some rays on the
concourse. It's the day after Earth
Day, and environmental awareness
is spreading like oil out of a
supertanker. Sunday is coming up,
and that means EAO's uncanny
Earth Day celebration. Things
couldn't get much better.
The Plainsman issue is
phenomenal to say the least.
Skipping off to classes, yoii
suddenly stop, and with a Homer
Simpsonesque style, slap your
forehead and utter, "Doouh! I left
my Plainsman sitting on the grass
with everyone else's." Running
back, you grab your paper and
think, "Hmmm, what should I do
with my paper?" You look to your
right or left, and before your very
eyes lies a big brown plywood box.
"Didn't I read in The Plainsman
about a big brown plywood box for
newspapers to be recycled?" You
ponder. The Plainsman is
undoubtedly a newspaper. With a
seemingly effortless toss, The
Plainsman is as good as recycled.
Looking back at the grass that had

Editor, The Plainsman:
I am tempted to respond to the
remarks of State Rep. Pete
Turnham on April 16; but I think
I'll just let his comments speak for
themselves:
1) "(Prohibiting the spending of
University funds on homosexual
organizations) is important."
[personal value judgement]
2) "We already have laws
preventing (sodomy) on the books."
[very likely unconstitutional;
definitely silly]
3) "I feel that 99 percent of Auburn
students believe such is illegal, an
inappropriate influence and
contrary to the morals and values of
their community." [unsubstantiated
claim]
4) "I commend Auburn students for
taking the lead on fighting this
issue." [not including the Auburn
Gay and Lesbian Association, me
and lots of other people on campus]
5) Turnham said the bill would not
deny anyone his or her personal
right to assemble. [No, but the
Attorney General has stated that the
state can legally enforce laws
prohibiting homosexual
organizations (presumably whether
they get state funds or not). If Rep.
Perry Hooper gets his way, such
legislation will probably be passed.]
The rumor is that Rep.Turnham
represents the citizens of Auburn,,
including the student population. I
think it's time for our representative
to check in with his constituents.
[Although I am a Republican, my
views do not necessarily represent
the views of other Republicans and
G.O.P. organizations.]

System punishes, not students Auburn not equal to national
Editor, The Plainsman:
We would like to address the
persecution of Andrew Butler.
First, Andrew has been through
both the city's and the University's
legal systems and has received his
punishment. Why not let the
incident rest? At some point, we
must give the legal systems credit.
We do not know all the
circumstances surrounding the
situation, but the legal systems do,
and we must let them respond
t accordingly.
Second, an expulsion from
Auburn would neither benefit
society as a whole nor Andrew as
an individual. By removing Andrew
from school, from an education, we
would not be protecting society, but
only hurting it. Without an
education, without help from
counselors,, we are only forcing
Andrew to join the growing list of
people, who, in the end, must be
supported by our tax dollars.
But more importantly, think
beyond the effect on society.
Consider the individual. Yes,
Andrew made a mistake, but should
we let this one mistake, which did
no physical harm to anyone, ruin
his life? Andrew realizes he was
wrong. He has received and
accepted his punishment. Can we
not accept this and allow him to
receive the help he needs while
continuing an education that will
provide him with the means for a
productive life?
No, Andrew cannot change the
past, but with an education and a
little support, he can change the
future.
Don't take that chance away from
him.

Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to voice my opinion
on the recent SGA elections. In my
mind, they were nothing but a cruel
joke. It sickened me that some of
the candidates (notably those who
won) had the audacity to even voice
an opinion on certain issues, as it
was clearly not their views that got
them elected, but rather the
fraternities that they belonged to.
Greeks were told to vote for the
person and not the policies (heaven
forbid that a greek should act
independently).
The elected officials should be
representative of the whole student
body, not merely a select few who
choose to buy their representation
by pledging to a fraternity or a
sorority. Clearly, special interest
rule is alive and well in the political
nursery grounds of America's
universities.
With the monumental political
upheavals going on around the
world - upheavals that polarized
toward a more American system of
government - don't we owe it to
ourselves as pioneers of democracy,
as well as our political pupils, to
correct this apparent shortcoming in
our system of governing. At the
national level, the sentiment seems
to be resounding loudly outside the
beltway (hence the popularity of
Brown and Perot), but unfortunately
not inside the parochial confines of
Auburn.

Campus magazine fulfills goal
Silence not just apathetic show
Editor, The Plainsman:
Apathy is defined as the absence
of emotion or concern. The
Plainsman gives little example of
this description of Auburn
students..
Growing up in a small town, I
naively thought when I came to
Auburn, I would face little of the
prejudice I had known my whole
life. Intolerance of those who are
different is common only among
the ignorant, right? I regret now that
I am not strong enough to withstand
the social pressures that govern how
we should behave toward other
people.
I do not support the Auburn Gay
and Lesbian Association any more
than I support the College
Republicans. My opinion on the
efforts to deny them a charter does
not change who they are or what
they believe.
I applaud the actions of the Black
Student Union, but optimistically
hope for a day when skin or the
choice of symbols in a parade are
no longer issues on this campus.
Can you call Auburn students
apathetic? There seems to be an
abundance of emotion on this
campus. Those of us who normally
keep our opinions quiet know there
are at least two sides to every
controversy and enough people to
debate all sides. Maybe we are too
busy with our education to feed
more fuel to the fire.

Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to commend the
editors and staff of The Auburn
Circle for doing a good job, not just
with the current issue, but also with
the issues published over the past
year or so.
The purpose of a campus
magazine is to provide both a
showcase for local talent and
entertainment for the general
campus community. The winter
1992 issue of The Auburn Circle
succeeds admirably in these
respects. No, the issue did not
include "controversial material,"
but controversy for controversy's
sake does not make good art.
On the other hand, I also enjoyed
the fall 1991 issue. Much of the
material deemed "controversial" in
that issue was actually quite tame
by current cultural standards. The
nightly news deals with gay rights
issues; sitcoms and popular movies
use plots involving sex and drug
use; the lyrics of popular songs
often contain language that is both
sexually explicit and derogatory to
women. Television also airs
material, both real and fictional, far
more explicit, gory and violent than
Matt McLean's photographs of a
decomposing dog. Contributors to
The Auburn Circle live in our
culture. To some extent, their work
will be influenced by it.
The job of the editors and staff of
The Auburn Circle is to select the
best mix of material from the
submissions they receive.
Sometimes, the best material may
include an article, story, poem or
piece of art that some people may
find morally disturbing. Other
times, the best work may have a
lighter tone.
These folks are doing a good job,
and this particular reader
appreciates all the time and effort
that went into producing the
magazine.

Preacher defends gay rights
Editor, The Plainsman:
The behavior exhibited by our
state and campus leaders in recent
weeks regarding the Auburn Gay
and Lesbian Association
controversy has left me deeply
embarrassed and ashamed
Jon Waggoner has made
Alabama the laughingstock of the
entire nation by stating that
homosexuals, by definition, will
break and commit the sodomy law.
After all, "What is being gay if it's
not practicing being gay?" Jon
Waggoner said in the April 10
edition of The Plainsman..
This utterly fallacious argument
is easily dissected by a simple
analogy: I am a heterosexual. I have
practiced abstinence my entire life.
It is illogical and incorrect to
assume gay persons cannot do the
same thing. Mentality such as this
would be laughable if it were not so
sad.
The flagrant hypocrisy of all
involved is even more detestable
than the mindless rhetoric they
spew. They have objected to the
AGLA because its gay members
will break the sodomy law. I just
don't think the students on our
campus are that concerned with
breaking the law. How many of its
constituents have broken the law
and continue to break the law every
weekend with underage drinking?
They say homosexuality is a sin,
but I don't think our concern is that
it is a sin rather that it is not the
right "kind" of sin. It isn't getting
drunk at a fraternity party Saturday
night before having sex with your
girlfriend in the back seat of your
car.
Sodomy, as defined by state law,
encompasses premarital sex and
oral sex. Have any heterosexuals on
our campus participated in such?
I do not condone homosexuality,
but you do not have to condone
such a lifestyle to tolerate it. I will
pray for our campus leaders. I will
pray for our state leaders. I will
pray that we can somehow extricate
ourselves from such utter disgrace.

SGA seeks record marrow drive
Heather Sumner
Staff Writer
At last year's SGA Bone Marrow
Drive, more than 500 students were
typed, bringing Auburn's total to
about 800.
This year, SGA officials hope to
type 600 more, Dolly Campbell,
director of the Third Annual Bone
Marrow Drive, said.
"Auburn's students make up the
bulk of the Atlanta registry,"
Campbell said.
Campbell has a good reason to
be active with the SGA Bone
Marrow Drive. A bone marrow
transplant saved her mother's life
last year.
Campbell served on SGA her
freshman year, but until her mother
was diagnosed with leukemia, the
bone marrow drive meant little to
her.
"I didn't know what to do at
first, until I saw it in the SGA
newsletter. I said, 'This is what I
have got to help with.'"
Campbell said working on the
bone marrow drive last year, so
soon after her mother was
diagnosed, was a way to deal with
her fears.
"It was my outlet," she said.
Speaking to groups about her
mother's illness before last year's
drive helped Campbell cope.
"I couldn't do anything to help
my mother, so I tried to help
others," she said.
Bone marrow transplants have
been used since 1968 for the
treatment of leukemia and other
blood-related diseases, but only
family members were asked to
donate marrow. The transplants
'I couldn't do anything to help my mother, so I
|tried to help others.'
-Dolly Campbell
were rare, because only 15 percent
of the population matches a family
member.
Because the program is relatively
new, donors are not easily found.
"Twenty-five people die every day
because a donor is not found,"
Campbell said.
The chance of finding an
identical match is one in 20,000.
"That's why bone marrow drives
are so important," Campbell said.
The process is simple for the •
donor, she said. "At the drive, the
donor gives about two tablespoons
of blood to be typed. You don't
even have to lie down like giving
blood."
If the blood given matches initial
tests, the donors may be contacted
for further testing. Those typed
could be eligible to donate marrow
until age 50.
"About 50 Auburn students have
been called back for a second
testing," Campbell said.
Chad Wilson, SGA secretary of
political affairs, was one of them.
"I went to Drake to give more
blood (for testing). It was about the.
same amount as before," he said.
Wilson received a letter saying
his was not an identical match the
first time, but he has been called
back for another testing at the drive
this week.
"I'm excited," he said. "It would
be neat to match up with someone
who needs a transplant."
If an identical match is found
through the additional testing, the
donor enters the hospital the night
before or the morning of the
transplant. Anesthesia is used, and
5 percent of the donor's bone
marrow is extracted from the hip.
"The only after-effects are
soreness in the hip that feels like a
bruise," Campbell said.
The donor's marrow is injected
into the patient's bloodstream and
replaces the patient's diseased
marrow which has been depleted
by radiation.
"The patient's body accepts the
marrow as its own. That's why an
identical match is necessary,"
Campbell said.
Not all transplant recipients
survive. Forty-five to 80 percent
are long-term survivors. The future
is promising for those who reach
the 100-day mark like Campbell's
mother.
Donors can back out at any time,
but Wilson intends to donate.
"I would definitely do it if I
matched. That would be very
special to me," he said.

Auburn area ranks high in AIDS cases
Julie Ross
Staff Writer
Lee County and surrounding
areas are ranked second in the
state's reported AIDS cases,
according to the latest
information from the AIDS
branch of the Alabama
Department of Public Health
(ADPH).
The Birmingham area has the
highest number of cases.
So far this year, 156 new cases
of AIDS have been reported in
Alabama, compared to 110 at this
time last year.
"That's a very large increase,"
Sandra Langston, director of
public information for ADPH,
said.
Of more than 3,100 Alabamians
reportedly infected with the HIV
virus, 24 percent are less than 25
years of age, according to ADPH.
Twenty-six percent of Alabama
AIDS cases are reported as
heterosexually transmitted.
ADPH estimates that from
10,000-15,000 people in the state
may also be infected with the
virus that causes AIDS, but are
unaware of it because their
lifestyle is not considered "at
risk."
The number of cases in Lee
County does not reflect the
number of cases involving
Auburn students.
"Auburn student cases are
reported to their areas of
residence," Langston said. That
means if a student is from out-of-state,
his or her case is reported in
that state, not Alabama.
"For its population, Lee County
has a relatively low rate,"
Langston said.
As of Dec. 31, the Center for
Disease Control reported a
cumulative total of 206,392 AIDS
cases in the United States.
Auburn students' rate of STD chlamydia still high
9 to 10 percent
of students test
positive for chlamydia
Joseph Lackey
Staff Writer
Auburn has not experienced the
rise in syphilis cases predicted at
this time last year, but is
experiencing high rates of other
STDs.
Pat Ellis, associate director of
student health services, nursing and
health education, said there has been
no increase in cases of syphilis at
Auburn, even though a rise was
detected in the United States and
parts of Lee County.
"Chlamydia is, and has been, the
number one most common STD on
campus," Ellis said.
Some evaluations of college
students report between 9 and 10
percent of the persons tested have
chlamydia. Chlamydia is routinely
checked in any family planning or
gynecological exam, she said.
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection
that is transmitted through sexual
contact. In a number of cases, no
symptoms will appear, so the
infection can be present for a long
period of time without the
knowledge of the person infected.
Symptoms may include burning
sensations during urination and
penile discharge in males.
In females, unusual vaginal
discharge, urinary burning, bleeding
and fever may occur.
Some of the long-term effects of
the disease can include infertility in
both males and females. Children
born of an infected mother can have
eye infections or pneumonia.
Antibiotics and abstention from
sexual intercourse are the treatments
for the disease, Ellis said.
"Chlamydia can be treated and,
essentially, can be cured if detected
before damage is done," she said.
Ellis recommended self-examination
to detect any
abnormalities. She said everyone
should check their partners before
sexual contact and be sure to use a
condom and spermicide.
Treatment and testing is available
at Drake Health Center and is purely
confidential. For more information,
contact Drake at 844-4422.

In this interview conducted by John
Seaborn and Scott Wilkerson, Robert
V. Andelson, professor of philosophy,
and James M. Dawsey, professor of
religion, responded to questions
surrounding their new book From
Wasteland to Promised Land:
Liberation Theology for a Post-
Marxist World.
Question: Could you address the
most fundamental question: what is
liberation theology?
Dawsey: "It's a movement that
started in the 1960s in Latin America
among mostly Roman Catholic J
clergymen and some lay people who
found themselves trying to proclaim
Christian values ... in a society that
was oppressive.
"And they found themselves also in a
situation where the Church had
traditionally taken the side of the government,
either openly... or by not standing against it.
"These priests and lay people found
themselves as having to take some sort of stand
for the oppressed against the oppressor, and the
way that worked out in practice was they said
that theology really isn't something that one
does in an office, at a university, something that
one thinks of only, but is something that has its
life in what they call praxis. What 'doing
theology' really was was to act in light of
Christian tradition and the biblical proclamation.
And then not only to act it butfib continue to
reflect, to think through one's activity, and that
thinking through systematically is really what
liberation theology is."
Andelson: "In reacting against what they
(liberation theologians) pepeived to be
oppression, they drew rather hfe|iy uppn4he
only socioeconomic position thafthey bad much
familiarity with on the othei| side, namely
Marxism." WmSmiSSSmSm
Dawsey: "And the reasoh for that is
important, too, because most of the oppression
that they were dealing with took fpce within the
context of right wing dictatorslSs; And those
leaders, those oppressors, saw themselves as
capitalists. And the ones standing against them
called themselves Marxists, wlfither they had
ever read Marx or not.
"In Latin America, they see a polarized
situation with only two options, with the
capitalist option which they had and was
oppressive and the Marxist option that Cuba was
experimenting with."
Andelson: "Well, there's still another factor.
Academe was overwhelmingly Marxist in Latin
America, - people with academic background,
university graduates. With the collapse of
Marxism, its bankruptcy was pretty well
exposed. And now they are left without any kind
of practical socioeconomic agenda." Sn
Q: As they intersect or conflict with the
intentions of liberation theology, what are
specific problems with capitalism or Marxism?
Andelson: "Let's say first of all that liberation
theology, so far as it's a Christian movement,
fllorwter tfi« profit of- ti)t *arth is for
all...

Rob Cheek/Staff
Robert V. Andelson James M. Dawsey
never did accept Marxism as a complete system.
"But they did accept large doses of Marxist
socioeconomic analysis, and as far as capitalism
is concerned, what they are dealing with or
reacting against is really a caricature of
capitalism, really a kind of decayed feudalism
with strong military entanglements."
Dawsey: "I can think of a Couple of points of
conflict that they have had with capitalism. They
tend to see Christianity as more of a corporate
venture, so the church or the community is much
more important than the individual. Our
capitalism is intertwined with praise of the
individual. :|
"Another point is a distrust of the profit
motive. The early church writers distrusted the
profit motive, too; If you would ask them
(liberation theologians), even If they had a
wholesome view of capitalism, ... I think they
would distrust the value that we place on the
individual.
"As they saw the United States, they are
operating within what they think of aft
neocolonialism. Here the greedy Americans or
Europeans just take their gold."
Andelson: What we have put into those
countries, the masses of the people have never
seen."^M 9PV
Dawsey: There's a capitalist element to it, but
I think it's a caricature of capitalism."
Andelson: ^They're not aware of anything
else."
Dawsey: "They're extremely practical.
They're saying, 'it's a political world, and you
have to make a decision. You either decide for
one or the other.'" IB~~NJB
Andelson: "But very few of them vvill now
want to identify themselves with Marxism after
the events of Eastern Europe. And some have
explicitly repudiated the dependency theory.
And yet it doesn't mean they want to associate
themselves with capitalism or with the first
world.
"What we try to stress in our book is that both
the individual and the community have rightful
claims, and that those of neither can be justly
met unless those of the other are met as well."
Q: What, in liberation theology, is the proper
relationship between man and God
and church and state?
Andelson: "Wouldn't you say it's
more of a matter of emphasis?
Without denying or rejecting personal
immortality, it places a lot more focus
on seeking to do the will of God in
this world."
Q: Does this reflect a virtual
dichotomization of church and state?
Dawsey: "They would say the
dichotomy is a false dichotomy, that it
is one that we imagine exists, but in
practice doesn't really exist.
"In some ways, I would agree. I
think there is a place for the
separation of church and state. There
is a place where you really can't
separate justice and society and doing
Rob Cheek/staff the will of God.
"Theology is political; it's
economic. Traditional theology
doesn't often think of itself in those terms.
Traditional theology thinks in terms of
Christology - what was Christ like - or the
nature of the church. This kind of theology
thinks in terms of society."
Q: So is it, as you see it, a more democratic

limself who showed a bias for the
poor, for people who were oppressed. They
would argueagainst a church that would be
structured with a hierarchy."
Q: How dp the aims of liberation theology
relate to the growth of fundamentalism which
espouses the spiritual aspect exclusively?
Andelson: "Liberation theologians would
unquestionably simply dismiss it as escapism."
Daws^H "What the liberation theologian
would say is if by these people waiting for their
reward in the afterlife - abdicating this life for
the next - by doing that, you are really siding
with the oppressor."
Andelson: "He would say they were trying to
escape from the challenges, the responsibility of
this world into an ethereal realm where
everything was rosy. And this fact was
something that the oppressors used and
manipulated."
Q: What are the reasons for the state's and
church's persistence with maintaining the status
quo and this idea that the kingdom of God is
spiritual only?
Andelson:"To be perfectly honest, my
observation is that the thrust of liberation
theology tends to be anti-hierarchical and not in
keeping with a vertical organizational structure."
Dawsey: "I think there are several things.

Treatise nominates innovative vehicle for social redistribution
Book Review
from 'Wastetandto
(Promised Land
Robert V. Andelson
James M. Dawsey
Orbis Books
In the postmodern politic, we
have seen an energetic
empowerment of the formerly
dispossessed as the oppressed have
gained new voices and have
demanded to be noticed, no longer
content to sit on the historical
sideline of injustice.
Robert V. Andelson and James
M. Dawsey's From Wasteland to
Promised Land (published
simultaneously in British and
United States editions with Spanish
and Phillipine translations
forthcoming) focuses on one of
those voices - the voice of the
Third World, where injustice is
sadly the norm. And as in the case
of American civil rights, the
champion of this voice comes in the
body of a new interpretation of
theology, an emphasis on social
rethinking known as liberation
theology, undoubtedly the most
dynamic theological development
in the last few decades.
Liberation theology, centered in
Latin America, has stressed the
immediate distress of the poor,
calling for a revolt against the old
systems of inequity. God's
predilection is for the poor who
deserve a special place in the
kingdom of God because of their
suffering at the hands of oppressive
landowners.
But the kingdom of God is not an
ethereal pipe dream; it is the will of
God to bring about his kingdom to
the here and now.
Andelson and Dawsey construct
a conceit focusing on the obvious
parallels between the struggle of
the dispossessed to gain political
validation and the struggle of the
Israelites to escape Pharaoh and to
journey through a desolate
wilderness to the Promised Land.
Indeed the biblical tradition
provides a rich repertoire of
journeys from desolation to
salvation, and in this book,
Andelson and Dawsey present
insights gained from these travels.
Subtitled Liberation Theology for
a Post-Marxist World, the book
examines the political vehicle of
liberation theology, namely
Marxism, and finds it extremely
wanting, a fruitless response to the
ill-conceived capitalistic regimes of
Latin America.
Marxism is faulty with, among
other things, its assessment of the
root of all injustice, which it
contends is labor. Andelson and
Dawsey say the fulcrum of the
injustices of poverty is, instead,
land, a commodity which cannot be
possessed, only rented.
With Marxism revealed as
bankrupt and invalid not only by
their treatise but also by recent
history, Andelson and Dawsey
valiantly propose a third option
from which the liberation
theologians can choose. They
propose true capitalism, namely the
economics of Henry George which
f
expressly addresses the land
problem.
John Davies, Bishop of
Shrewsbury, states in the prologue,
"Here is an opportunity for the
teaching of Henry George to
receive new and serious attention.
... Politicians are urgently looking
for believable, just, and practical
methods of taxation."
From Wasteland to Promised
Land is just that: believable, just
and practical. A wonderfully
conceived, well-written call for
justice and socioeconomic decency,
it not only lends credence and
salience to the voice of the
oppressed, it also gives a new
instrument from which to sound the
battle cry.
Andelson and Dawsey's conceit
is, with the pun delivered
respectfully, inspired, and the
' return of a politicized, temporally
active, vitally democratic theology
with the goal of actual social
redemption is exciting and
endlessly fascinating.
The authors have rightfully
focused on a return to the notion
that there is a right to property that
should be fundamentally
guaranteed by the society.
Everyone from the staunchest
Christian to the most skeptical
humanist will gain insight from this
treatise, which will lend a new
dimension not only to theologians,
but to liberators in general.
Andelson and Dawsey have
presented the contemporary
Lazarus and Dives; now, as
liberation theologians would have
it, it is time to act.

Pulitzer Prize winner
lectures on campus
Anthony Lewis
addresses
power of press
Wendy Francis
Staff Writer
The power of the press was
addressed by Anthony Lewis, a
two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, in a
campus lecture April 15.
Lewis, a columnist for The New
York Times, spoke to students and
faculty on the reputation of the
modern press.
He said much of the power the
press possesses is not real, but per­ceived.
Lewis spoke about Watergate as
an important time in the evolution
of the press' reputation.
He said most people, reporters
included, credit the press with
Nixon's downfall.
Lewis said although the press
covered the scandal thoroughly, it
was high government officials who
forced Nixon out of office, not the
press.
His book Make No Law: The
Sullivan Case and the First Amend­ment,
published in 1991, is based
on his coverage of the Supreme
Court case of The New York Times
vs. Sullivan.
Lewis won his first Pulitzer Prize
as a reporter for The Washington
Daily News and his second work­ing
for The New York Times.
Presently, he is the James Madi­son
visiting professor at Columbia
University and spoke at Auburn as
part of the Franklin Lecture Series.

Sen. Heflin
announces
water facility
Christy Kyser
Staff Writer
Auburn is in the planning stage
of a project with the Tennessee
Valley Authority to store excess
rainwater that will be used during
the dry summer months, U. S. Sen.
Howell Heflin (D-Alabama), said.
"Through the use of irrigation,
crop production has increased 100
percent in areas in Alabama,
particularly in the Tennessee
Valley region.
"There have been four years of
drought in this particular area
which has shown a decrease,
particularly in cotton, in those
areas," Heflin told reporters last
Thursday.
The project, which TVA Director
William Kennoy estimated will
cost $1 million, will be
implemented upon completion of a
reservoir and research facilities.
Officials hope to begin research
next year at the Auburn experiment
substation located in Belle Minar.
Paul Parks, administrative vice
president of University research,
said once the research is
completed, the reservoir will be
used as a demonstration project to
show Alabama farmers how to
store excess water in the spring and
winter.
Heflin said the research will
focus on agriculture purposes, but
other benefits, including purified
drinking water for rural Alabama,
will result.
"Agriculture is very important in
Alabama, and (TVA) is very
pleased to be able to participate in
this project" Kennoy said.

Alabama voter registration procedures explained
Non-resident students
encouraged to vote
by absentee ballot
Tricia Holdefer
Staff Writer
Voter registration in Alabama is
permanent. Once voters register,
they will never have to register
again.
June 2 is the date of the presiden­tial
primary elections.
Mrs. Cobb, a secretary at City
Hall, said, "Students can register to
vote at City Hall if they are inter­ested
in becoming a resident of Lee
County.
"The students have to bring a
picture ID and something with their
local address on it The last day to
register is May 22, 10 days before
the June 2 primary," Cobb said.
Any U.S. citizen may register to
vote if he or she resides in Alaba­ma,
is 18 years old or will be by the
next election, has not been convict­ed
of a felony and has not been
declared legally incompetent
Some students will need to get
an absentee ballot from their home
towns to vote because they are not
Auburn or Alabama residents.
To get absentee ballots, students
should call or write their hometown
absentee election managers and
request ballots. A student should
include his or her name and
address, the election for which the
ballot is requested, the reason for
absence on election day and the
address to which ballot should be
mailed.
The deadline for turning the
absentee ballot in is noon election
day.
The basic voting procedure is
simple. A poll worker checks vot­ers'
names against the registered
voters list, voters sign a poll list
and then they cast their votes.
For anyone who has never seen a
voting booth and may be apprehen­sive
about what to do once inside
of one, a voting booth will be at the
Covington Community Center May
16 in Opelika.
Bertha Pearson of the Lee Coun­ty
Courthouse said it will be for the
whole community. Everyone is
welcome.
Dioxin standard upheld
Kim Chandler
News Editor
After two weeks of hearings,
the Alabama Environmental
Management Commission ruled
last week to uphold Alabama's
dioxin standard which is 86 times
what the federal government
recommends.
But Alabama's current standard
is within the guidelines the
Environmental Protection Agency
allows.
Dioxin is a compound used for
bleaching paper and is being
released by paper mills into 10
Alabama rivers.
Dioxin is considered by the
EPA to be a carcinogen and
accumulates in the fat cells of fish
which come in contact with it.
At the hearings, attorneys
representing the Alabama
Conservancy and the Sierra Club
requested the Alabama standard
be re-evaluated.

The Rodiont Cut Diamond.
Until recently, the

The Round, or Brilliant
Cut, was the shape most
prized by investors
because it provided
maximum refraction of
light.
The Radiant Cut Diamond
yields even greater
brilliance because its 70
facets allow more light-refracting

was ever before possible.

Phobia keeps dental patients away
Kasey Reaves
StaffWriter
In the movie Marathon Man,
Dustin Hoffman and Sir Laurence
Olivier bring a very real fear to life
on the movie screen. It's a fear that
can affect people of all ages, and
some experts say it is almost a part
of our culture.
In the movie, Olivier attempts to
extract information from Hoffman
by drilling his teeth, and he drills
without using any anesthesia.
For many, the horror of dentists
is a real-life fear. Some will endure
almost any pain in order to avoid a
dental visit. And when a person's
fear of dentistry turns into avoid­ance,
that person probably has a
dental phobia, Jim Phillips, a local
dentist who has treated dental pho­bia
patients, said.
"The longer a person avoids
treatment, usually the worse the
phobia gets," he said.
Meghan, 04EH, who would pro­vide
only her first name, has a
severe fear of any dental procedure.
Meghan, 44, said her fear began
with her first trip to the dentist. She
was almost 8 years old, she said,
when she had a cavity filled with­out
being given anesthesia.
Since that experience, she said,
she has had other procedures done,
but with difficulty.
"My blood pressure goes up. My
hands get sweaty, and I get light­headed.
If I ever had to wait (for a
procedure), I'd be sitting out in the
office just climbing the walls.
"Now, I wouldn't have my teeth
drilled, I'd have them pulled
because they'll knock you out to
pull teeth," she said.
Meghan has not been to the den­tist
since 1988, and she said she has
( no plans to do so.
"I've bought the equipment to
clean my own teeth. Even the pain
of having my teeth cleaned (by a
dentist) is too much."
Meghan's experience is fairly
common among dental phobics,
Phillips said.
"We see more true dental pho­bics
who are over the age of 40,"
he said. People in this age group
are more likely to have had a bad
experience in a dentist's office
because of older technology and
treatment techniques, he said.
"Probably 75 percent of the
patients I have that I would classify
as true dental phobics say that they
had a dentist that did an extraction
without anesthesia, or numbed the
wrong tooth and drilled ... that kind
of thing."
Although technology and dental
methods have improved in the last
20 years, Phillips said, one painful
experience may be enough to cre­ate
a lifetime phobia..
Seeing someone else's fear may
help create a phobia in a young
person. "There is a tremendous cor­relation
between parents being
afraid and a child being afraid."
Misinformation, such as televi­sion
commercials which portray
dental procedures and dentist nega­tively,
may contribute to dental
phobias as well, he said.
"It's sad, but I get a lot of kids
whose parents have threatened
them with the dentist. You know,
'If you don't brush your teeth, the
dentist is going to pull all the teeth
out of your head,' or 'If you're eat­ing
that candy, you're going to
have to get a shot.' Those kids
come in just terrified."
A number of symptoms indicate
a patient may be dental phobic,
Phillips said.
Dental phobic people will usual­ly
only come in for an emergency,
he said.
A dental phobic person may
chronically make and then miss
appointments, may also seem
embarrassed about their dental con­dition
or fidgety in the dental
office, may have a "death grip" on
the chair they are sitting in and
may breathe rapidly, wring their
hands or possibly even hyperventi-m
^Limm
Atonsfcpf-' 10 cent wirga 5-lOpm ,

late, Phillips said.
Treatment is available for dental
phobic patients and there are ways
to make a dental visit easier.
"I have a soft touch, and I take
my time with patients," Phillips
said. "We try to do a more informa­tive
type of dentistry. Even the best
dentist cannot completely eliminate
pain. I use an adaptation of the tell-show-
do method. It basically is to
tell the patient what we're going to
do, then we'll show them the
instruments and basically what
we're going to do and then we do
it. By doing that, we try to elimi­nate
that fear of the unknown."
Dudley McGlynn, Auburn pro­fessor
of psychology, said, "Effec­tive
treatment for dental phobic
patients is available."
McGlynn, who is an expert in the
field of treating dental phobia, said
muscle relaxation and visualization
techniques are often used in treat­ing
people with phobias.
Those who can afford dental
care, but are too frightened to seek
it, should get help for their fear and
deal with their dental problems, he
said.
Phillips said communication with
the dentist is also important in
overcoming a fear.
"If the dentist knows there's a
problem or some anxiety, he can
generally do something about it
and serve you better. Let the dentist
know about your fears. If the den­tist
doesn't take time to listen, you
probably need another dentist."
Drake Student Health Center urges
communication between partners
What makes a relationship
healthy?
If you've lived for any length
of time with both of your parents,
you've seen them make decisions
together: what food to eat, how
much money to spend, what to do
with a free evening, what clothes
to wear or maybe just who would
walk through a door first
However, the odds are great
against you having seen your
parents talk together about, how
they typically make decisions or
talk openly about differences they
have in their relationship and how
they could improve it.
No doubt you've probably
heard from people who have been
or are involved in a partnership
that communication is a key
ingredient to a lasting, fulfilled
relationship. Indeed, sharing
yourself with another person is
crucial to your growth as an
individual.
One of the most valuable things
you can have for your own
personal well-being is a
relationship with someone you
can play and talk seriously with;
someone with whom you can
relate on many different levels.
Satisfying relationships are not
just found, but rather are actively
developed by the partners
involved. Further, most partners
can learn ways to do this if they
are willing to join together in a
spirit of good will and
communication.
What are some basic ways to
communicate?
It is not just how much time
you and your partner spend
talking together that counts.
Rather, what the two of you talk
about, and more importantly, how
the two of you talk are the things
that really matter. If you think for
a moment about some of the
conversations you have had
recently with your partner, you
can classify them in one of four
directions or focus: external
topics, yourself, your partner or
your relationship If your
conversations are almost entirely
topic-focused, you are probably
keeping a lot of life out of your
relationship. This is because
relationships come alive only
when you and your partner get
involved with each other. This
happens when you focus on
yourself, your partner and
especially on the two of you
together.
Being able to communicate and
enjoy a healthy relationship
requires other skills, such as self-awareness,
awareness of others
and a good sense of self-esteem.
If you and your partner want to
enhance and develop your
relationship, a Relationship
Enhancement Workshop is being
offered at Drake Student Health
Center. It will be held as a series
of four group sessions beginning
Monday, April 27, and continuing
on May 4, 11 and 18, from 4:30
to 6 p.m. Call 844-4422 for more
information and to register.

Assaults at local theater
Continued from A-l
leaving the theatre to get in their car.
The two victims, Jorge Hernandez
and Cheryl R. Bevis, sustained
minor injuries.
Joe Adkins, manager of Litchfield
Cinema, said, "Some of the
(suspects) came out of the theatre."
He said the incident occurred at
about 12 a.m.
Police said the suspects fled prior
to their arrival. An investigation led
them to two juveniles and three
adults suspected of committing the
assault. Police would not release the
names of the suspects because the
charges were misdemeanors.
Police said the suspects have been
charged with third degree
misdemeanors. Police have not yet
found a motive for the assault.
