NCAA penalizes
with probation
Tennis, basketball programs
receive two years for violations
Mark Littleton
Assistant Sports Editor
• Probation coverage. See
stories, C-l.
The men's basketball and tennis
programs were placed on two years
probation for major violations of
NCAA rules stemming from
unethical recruiting practices.
In a press conference Monday,
the Committee on Infractions
released a report specifying the
violations and penalties assessed.
The NCAA levied limits on off-campus
recruiting by members of
the basketball coaching staff and
reduced the number of expense-paid
visits by recruits from 15 to
seven per year.
In addition, head basketball
coach Tommy Joe Eagles will be
prohibited from recruiting off
campus during the the period for
signing national letters of intent,
March 13-April 15,1992.
The Tigers are also banned from
post-season play for the 1991-92
season.
The tennis team was penalized
for violating the NCAA's extra
benefits rule during the tenure of
former coach Hugh Thomson. The
committee eliminated all expense-paid
recruiting visits to the
university for the 1992 year.
Eagles said he held himself
accountable for the violations that
occured in the basketball program.
"I take full responsibility for the
reason our basketball program is
involved in these circumstances.
I'm not happy or pleased with the
situation," he said.
"I've made some mistakes in my
brief tenure here at Auburn. We've
tried to readily admit those
mistakes - mistakes that, in my
opinion, were errors in judgment
and compassion. Nonetheless, we
were wrong, and we admit we were
wrong.
"Auburn shouldn't be held
responsible in any way for the
situation we find ourselves in,"
Eagles said.
Because of Auburn's
cooperation in the investigation, the
university escaped harsher
penalites.
"The committee determined this
was a major case," said Chuck
Smrt, the NCAA director of
enforcement. "However, it did
impose the minimum prescribed
penalty for a major infractions case.
This was due basically for five
reasons.
"One was the nature of the

fraternity hazing

Recent hazing allegations have
prompted the close scrutiny of two
Auburn fraternities as "a concerted
effort" of investigations begin.
The names of the fraternities are
"confidential" right now, IFC
President Erie Morring said.
Morring said the IFC does not
want to publish false accusations.
However, he said if the allegations
prove true, they will be made
public.
"I am not going to deny to you or
anyone else that hazing does not go
on on Auburn's campus ... but
hazing is wrong, according to
Alabama state law, national
fraternity policy, University policy
and IFC policy," he said.
Morring, who is also a member
of Sigma Nu fraternity, said
fraternities know the rules. The
policies against hazing are "set in
stone and concrete."
Auburn's hazing policy interprets
hazing as: "...any action taken or
situation created intentionally,
whether on or off fraternity
premises, to produce mental or
physical discomfort,
embarrassment, harassment or
ridicule..."
Morring said he doesn't know
what the investigations will reveal,
if anything. "Depending on the
severity, it could be anything from
probationary status to loss of a
chapter's charter," he said.
Lee Thomas, assistant director of
student activities, said most hazing
investigations are initiated by
phone calls from various sources:
parents, girlfriends, pledges,
members or national organizations.
"We treat all information
confidentially. People at Auburn
are quite helpful," he said.
After acquiring as much
information as possible from the
source, the IFC contacts the leaders
within thiB organization. Eventually,
the national office has to receive a
call. "It's expected etiquette,"
Thomas said.
Further information is gathered
through a "concerted effort" of the
adviser to the organization, the
president of the organization, the
Student Affairs office and the
national office, he said.
At some point, all parties
involved assemble and decide how
to deal with the allegations and the
information gathered.
"Most hazing is usually small
stuff," Thomas said. The most
common report is of sleep
deprivation caused by early
morning activities, such as
meetings.
"We are dedicated to doing away
with hazing. We act on every
report," he said. "We don't have
any more problems than other
campuses. The only difference is

Watch your backpack: AUPDrep°rts

While the economy is sinking, the number of thefts
is rising on Auburn's campus.
University Police Chief Jack Walton said, "We
have been averaging zero to one auto burglaries a
month. We got hit 22 times in one night two weeks
ago.
"Auto burglaries" describes the theft of stereo
equipment, radar detectors and other valuables from
cars. The increase in crime does not include an
increase in violent crime, Walton said.
The AUPD activity report for the one-week period
between Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 lists 14 thefts, six of
which involved the breaking and entering of a
vehicle.
Thieves are apparently not stopping short of
increased thefts
stealing the kitchen sink. A Nov. 13 AUPD activity
report entry lists the theft of a $400 laboratory sink.
"They're stealing things to make a quick buck -
car equipment, textbooks...," Walton said.
Thieves will pick up books and sell them back to
the bookstores, Walton said.
"We've had a rash of computer thefts. We have
two suspects in that case," Walton said.
"Then we also have thefts from [one student by
another student] in the dorms - petty thefts, cash
thefts, stuff like that," Walton said.
The library, the dorms, personal vehicles and
computers are the primary targets police are
concerned with now, according to Walton.
'Thieves frequent the library because they can go
in and out undetected," Walton said.

Police looking at alleged rape
Christyne Jackson
and Paige Oliver
Staff Writers
City police are investigating the
alleged rape of a female Auburn
student that occurred Nov. 8 behind
a strip of local businesses in the
downtown Auburn area, police said
Wednesday.
Police are looking for a black
male in his 30s who reportedly used
his hands as the weapon in the
attack, which occurred between
5:15 and 5:30 a.m. No additional
details were released in the incident
pending investigation.
In an unrelated incident,
University police are looking for a
man who was seen wearing a ski
mask in the parking lot between
Teague and Dowdell halls Nov. 12.
The man was reported at 2:33 that
morning by two female students
who said the man whistled at them.
Police are asking students and
residents to use "common sense"
when walking on city and campus
streets at night and to avoid
walking alone.
"If you see anyone in a ski masjs,
looks out of place or looks
suspicious, we want to be notified,"
University Police Chief Jack
Walton said. "Nine times out of 10,
it's a practical joke, but we want to
be notified."
hree incidents of indecent exposure
by male suspects in the Ralph B.
Draughon Library have also been
reported in recent weeks.
Walton said there have been no
other incidents of a sexual nature
reported, despite a number of calls
he said he received questioning
rumors of other rapes in recent
weeks.
Copyright may increase prices
Licensing firm protects
University trademarks
Mark Bradley
Staff Writer
An attempt by the University's
business and finance department to
control copyright infringement of
all products with University logos
and trademarks could cause tension
between students and the
administration because it will lead
to the increased costs of these
products.
Susan Smith, licensing director
for the department, said the
University has a contract with a
licensing company from Atlanta
that handles most of the licensing
of the products. The royalty fee is
added to the cost of the products to
pay for the services of the licensing
Chri« Stewtn/Sitff
company.
The logos include anything with
the words Auburn, Auburn
University, Auburn Tigers, War
Eagle and Aubie and any
University trademarks. Products
include T-shirts, hats, cups, stuffed
animals and anything else with a
University logo or trademark.
Smith said this will be a positive
program because all of the profits
from the sale of items with
University logos will go to benefit
scholarships.
"Royalties are used for
scholarships; that's why we want
all products licensed," she said.
A committee was formed by
Smith to look at all the positive and
negative aspects of the licensing
program. It consists of members
representing the alumni association,
the athletic department, the
bookstore and the student affairs
department. The committee has
only met once.
The committee approved a policy

Baptists meet to approve budget, allocate funds
Alabama Baptists met in Birmingham Tuesday on the first of a two-day
convention celebrating the 150th anniversary of Baptist-affiliated
Samford University. They approved a $29.5 million budget for Baptist
agencies and allocated another $10.5 million for special missions,
according to the Birmingham Post-Herald.
The delegates also passed resolutions against alcohol advertising,
abortion, dog racing and the withdrawal of Southern Baptist funding
from a Baptist seminary in Switzerland. They also approved a three-year
missions partnership with the Korean Baptist Convention and a
four-year missions partnership with Hawaii.

Duke, Buchanan consider entering primaries
Unexpected challenges to President George Bush's bid for the
presidency may cause trouble for the GOP, as David Duke and Patrick
Buchanan entertain the possibility of entering the running, said The
Birmingham News.
Duke, the former Ku Klux Klansman who recently lost the Louisiana
gubernatorial race, and Buchanan, conservative commentator, both feel
Bush has abandoned the conservatism of the GOP and has failed to
adhere to certain principles. More than a minimal impact on the party is
not expected, but Duke and Buchanan could stir up enough trouble to
disrupt the president's plans to focus on the general election.

Ex-hostages offer words of optimism
Former hostages Thomas Sutherland of the United States and Terry
Waite of Great Britain, who were freed Monday from Shiite Muslim cap­tivity
in Lebanon, said they had been told that the other three American
hostages, Joseph Cicippio, Alarm Steen and Terry Anderson, would be
freed in the matter of a couple of weeks time, according to The Mont­gomery
Advertiser.
Sutherland was the acting dean of agriculture at the American University
in Beirut when he was kidnapped Sept. 12, 1986, and Waite, the British
envoy of the Anglican Church, was kidnapped Jan. 20,1987.

Zeus, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are dead, long dead. That

they need gods devoid of paltry human emotions and desires. And you

no good in poetry. And the architecture? Just go home and die

Cosmic machinations inform life, mind
Kristine Rohrs
Staff Writer
Man has stood bedazzled in the
dim brilliance of a winter evening,
with the firmament above cloaked
in jet velvet adorned with the bright
speckled remnants of the gods'
playtime, and believed the patterns
held meaning for the context of his
lifetime.
The correlating movement of the
stars with the seasons he has called
a dance, and through astrology, he
has made an eligible and
appropriate partner of himself.
Michael Hartman, 09EH, has
knowledge of astrology and the
mysteries of the tarot deck, and he
explained some of the myths and
facts surrounding these two
disciplines.
"Tarot cards and astrology are
both forms of divination, and
essentially they can be used for
metaphysical enlightenment or just
mere fortune-telling," he said.
"So if you're just trying to tell
the future from them, that's mere
fortune-telling, and sometimes that
works, and sometimes you don't
gain any insights from it. For
metaphysical enlightenment, it
always works, 'cause you can
always find some meaning attached
to it."
Hartman said he knew of two
kinds of astrology, horary and natal.
Natal astrology is the birth chart
and what is commonly seen in the
newspapers, he explained.
Horary astrology is more
concerned with what will happen in
the future, he said. "So you can plot
horary astrology to figure out what
is going to happen to you in two or
three weeks, like, 'Is this a good
time to start a business
partnership?'"
Hartman said the meaning of
astrology lies in the way the future
comes out for one, what one's
personality is like and what
circumstances bring one to any
certain point in one's life.
"It's basically a tool to reflect
what you already know inside your
self," he said.
The stars are joined by the
planetary bodies in the precise and
graceful waltz of the universe.
He said each one of the seven
planets known to the ancients
reflected certain human qualities.
These qualities are like the
archetypes of Carl Jung to most
people who study these things with
serious intent.
"Mercury works for FTD now,
he's the guy with the hat. No one
believes that Mercury will appear
and help you. It's just that people
tend to believe that these are things
that belong to the collective
unconscious."
Hartman provided a brief history
of astrology. He said, 'This is from
a Renaissance theory of man, and a
theory of man that arose in the late
middle ages that says there's a
microcosm and a macrocosm and
everything that happens on a small
scale happens on a big scale.
"So anything that happens on a
big scale has some kind of interest
in what's happeneing on a small
scale, because you're both part of
the same creation."
He said if you believe there is a
purpose for everything and if you
and the stars are part of it, you are
connected, and you can observe the
general direction of your life by
watching them.
Hartman addressed the issue of
the possibility that interpreting the
choreography of the heavens might
be merely the production of a self-fulfilling
prophecy. He concluded
the epistemology of the stars'
influence is a matter of perception.
Thus, the observer's willingness
to observe is a condition of the
observed and, appropriately, there
is a reciprocity between the
mechanism of the stars and the
course of individual realities.
"I've seen it work often enough
for unexpected things in the future
to believe that sometimes, if you're
looking for something unusual to
happen with them (stars or tarot
cards), it will, invariably," he said.
The most reliable way to
interpret the messages of either the
tarot cards or astrology is one's
own intuition. "Also by studying
other people's charts or other
people's readings you come to
understand more about your own."
"It's like Jeanne Dixon says, the
stars impel, they do not compel.
They give you direction, but they
don't force you to do anything. You
have free will."
Hartman said it is a mark of
humanity to make what happens fit
the pattern one thinks one sees, and
he believes one has a choice in
what happens.
"I think that ignorant people have
always wanted some sort of
external sign. You know, the god
appears from the machine and takes
care of everything. I find intelligent
people have probably always said,
'Well, if I'm interacting with the
universe, I'm helping to create it.
I'm helping to make it all the time .
. . because I shape and order my
own experience.'"
Hartman said every generation
reshapes the fortune-telling
methods or the divination methods
of the past. People redefine
astrology constantly, construing it
in terms that validate the cultural
and personal preoccupations of
their time.
"There was astrology for the
millions in the '60s; now it's
supposed to be some sort of new-age
character insight. Some people
go so far as to say they receive
ethereal messages from some other
planets or some other Venusian
beings or something:
"I believe that anything a human
being believes in can work. I've
seen it," Hartman said.
Hands contain instrumentations of prophecy
Scott Wilkerson
Perspective Editor
The elusive mysteries of love,
prosperity, peace and the deepest
wonders of the universe are
encoded in that miraculous node
wh'ere the texture of destiny and the
architecture of dreams converge in
the geography of our hands.
Palm reader, healer and adviser
Prophetess Mary understands the
nature of fate and fortune as it
applies to people's need for change
in their lives. She said her practice,
a kind of dream emporium run from
her home on Highway 280 near
Phenix City, is both a service and a
holy mission.
"People come to me for advice.
Ain't nobody in this world who
thinks they know and thinks they
don't need prayers and don't need
advice. Nobody is bigger and better
than Jesus, and even he had
enemies; the President has enemies,
and everyone has enemies. There is
trouble."
Mary said the world operates on
contingencies that both inform and
are informed by individual choices.
Thus, telling a fortune actually
means describing the boundary
conditions of a person's future.
"When someone wants to see me, I
usually ask them to make a list of
things they want to know or things
they want. When they get here, I
tell them they need to make a wish
and speak one out. Then I will start
predicting what they need to know,
what they need to find out... If it's
trouble or whatever, I tell them not
to make a change this year. I help
make things clear."
Mary defends the legitimacy of
her discipline by distinguishing
between true prophets and
fraudulent profiteers.
"There are a lot of people who
look alike, but are not the same.
Some advisers or people who say
they're advisers are making
something out of nothing. You've
got the same thing in the church

Sensational techniques of divination receive validation, skepticism
John Seaborn
Assistant Perspective Editor
Humanity seemingly refuses to
be content with its dwellings on the
past and its struggles with the
present. It also worries endlessly
about the future, placing faith,
* sometimes illogically, sometimes
irresponsibly, in the conjurations
and predestinations of others.
"It's in our nature to wonder
what lies beyond the obvious in our
lives, what forces influence us in
S> the pursuit of friends and
happiness, in fulfilling our futures,"
said James Dawsey, associate
professor of religion.
<Dawsey said the awe and respect
allotted for the future and the desire
to discover, to read destiny, has
been present since ancient times
and has no plans for being
disregarded.
"In the ancient world, the realm
of the stars was where the gods
lived, so it was natural for (people)
to look to the stars in order to
understand their circumstances," he
said.
Dawsey said this recurring stellar
observation led ancients to deduce
and develop an explanation for the
events and circumstances around
them, a mythological framework
that led to the palmistry and
astrology of today.
"To the^ancients, it must have
been a wonder to notice that some
stars were fixed objects that moved
across the sky together in
predictable ways, and then that
there were stars that seemed to
move more randomly.
"The thinking was that the
predictable and random movement
of the stars must have been
analogous to what was happening
on Earth where some things are
fixed and sure, and others are
random and uncertain," he said.
Astrology is not only an attempt
to describe what occurs in nature,
but is also an acceptance of, and a
reconciliation with, nature, with its
unpredictability and chance.
"It's part of the human condition
that we realize we are related not
only to each other, other human
beings, but also to nature. It's the
quest for the connections between
nature and ourselves that defines
our ideas of destiny and fate,"
Dawsey said.
Tibor Machan, professor of
philosophy, also regards the process
of divination as something not
totally without a foundation, but,
rather, a phenomenon which,
through sociological and religious
culturization has secured some
legitimacy.
"In some cases, there clearly is a
way to know about the future; we
do predict astronomical and
geological events," he said.
However, Machan is less
accepting of the highly speculative
areas of fortune-telling.
"These are useless in the bulk of
human life," he said.
Machan said that though these
techniques are somewhat
irresponsible and nontrustworthy,
the possibility of extrapolation and
the manipulation of statistics made
them accessible and commercial.
"If I say 'A' will happen to 50
people and say 'not A' will happen
to 50 people, then 50 people will
follow. Not 100 people, but 50.
"If people have a certain
statistical probability, that gives
them enough of a clientele to give
them a marketable advantage," he
said.
Machan explained a person's
need or desire to know the future
often occludes logic or rationality.
And although listening to
astrologists or palm readers is as
harmless as carrying a rabbit's foot
in one's pocket in most instances,
one cannot make serious, informed
decisions with such mercurial
knowledge.
"People cannot be confident
enough to be rational about all
things all of the time. But people
continue to make predictions,
hoping that despite that element of
chance or self-causation, there will
be something \ke can rely on," ^e
said.

Controversy continues over license of Outback Cafe
Christyne Jackson
Staff Writer
The dust hasn't settled since the
Nov. 5 Auburn City Council meet­ing
when Gloriana's, the Auburn
Motel and the Baptist Campus
Ministries asked conjunctively for
the revocation of The Outback
Cafe's alcohol license because of
excessive noise and patrons'
improper restroom etiquette.
Leon Schwartz, owner of Auburn
Motel and co-owner of Gloriana's,
said, "There is one restroom avail­able
for men and women. With
kids drinking, and you have to go
to the bathroom when you drink,
there is not enough facilities.
"I went outside, and dozens of
people were urinating all over the
place," he said.
Richard, Saliba, president and
owner of The Outback Caf6, said,
"The health inspector said I have
enough restrooms to handle 300
people. This is Auburn; people uri­nate
outside. The people arrested
for urinating were from other
stores, also. The Florida people
were the ones getting in fights. No
Auburn people were involved."
Schwartz said The Outback has
room for 50-60 people, but 200 are
stuffed in every night. Saliba dis­agreed.
"Mr. Schwartz has never been in
my restaurant. I welcome him any­time,
but he has never been in here
himself. My occupancy is 153 peo­ple
downstairs and 40 upstairs," he
said.
Tension grew when a brick was
thrown through a window of Glori-ana
s.
"No one has ever broken a win­dow
before in five years of busi­ness,"
Schwartz said.
Saliba said, "I didn't have any­thing
to do with that window. I
made sure my employees had noth­ing
to do with it, also.
"It insulted my professionalism
that he was quoted in the Opelika-
Auburn News that he was 90 per­cent
sure I did it," he said.
Schwartz also mentioned an
alleged rape behind the businesses
next to The Outback. The Auburn
City Police Department does not
The Outback is connected.
"Gloriana's was never a night­club.
The only time we have bands
is for fraternity and sorority func­tions.
We might have had the Chill-bumps
a couple of times, but we
can control the noise with this
wall," he said.
Saliba said, "Every problem Mr.
Schwartz has brought to me I have
reconciled to the best of my ability.
I've done everything I can."
Saliba said his business made
special arrangements to accommo­date
other businesses in the vicini­ty-
"We put a sound wall up and
messed up the entire atmosphere of
my restaurant in good faith for
them (Auburn Engineers). Their
business hours are from 9-5, and I
keep the place quiet then," Saliba
said.
David Alexander, president of
Auburn Engineers Inc., said, 'The
conditions are such that we cannot
run an engineering firm here. The
sound wall doesn't work."

Other tenants continue
to express discontent
Christyne Jackson
Staff Writer
The Outback Cafe has enough
restroom facilities for its patrons,
and overcrowding complaints have
never been confirmed, according to
an Auburn City Council investiga­tion.
Clyde Prather, director of public
safety, reported to the Council at its
meeting Nov. 19 that the Outback's
restrooms are adequate for the 153-
person occupancy allowance.
"The Outback meets the city's
guidelines. It only requires one
men's and one women's facility,"
Prather said.
The tenants sharing the building
with the Outback are the Auburn
Engineers.
"The city cannot help with the
noise issue because Auburn doesn't
have a noise ordinance. The problem
is within the building, so a judge
will have to address that between the
tenants," he said.
Jane Alexander, vice president of
Auburn Engineers Inc., said, "We
have recorded sounds that measured
70 decibels in our offices. That's the
same as if we set up a rock 'n' roll
band right here.
"We lease what is considered a
professional office space. Those
people are keeping us from working.
You wouldn't put up with it in your
offices," she said to the council.
Mayor Jan Dempsey said the
council would have to work on a
solution to the problem.
In other business:
• The council is considering an
ordinance to stop rollerblading and
skateboarding downtown.
This ordinance would also make it
illegal to lock a bike anywhere
except a bike rack.
Councilman Trey Johnston said
the problem with the ordinance is
the lack of bike racks near down­town
businesses.
The council is investigating the
situation for discussion at the next
meeting.
• A littering ordinance will also
be considered at the next council
Lmeeting to make the owner of the
thrown out.
• A new drug and alcohol policy
was passed for Auburn city employ­ees.
The drug policy will take care
of liability and legal requirements.
• In conjunction with the drug
and alcohol policy, a new disci­plinary
policy for city employees
was passed.
• The city will give a $100,000
loan to Auburn Inn Inc. to build a
Hampton Inn at the intersection of
Intersjgte 85 and Highway 29 South.

Judge finds Tuskegee man guilty
Kasey Reaves
Staff Writer
A Lee County Circuit Court
declared Samuel Lloyd of
Tuskegee, Ala., guilty Friday of
robbery in the third degree for the
July 31 theft of a ruby and diamond
ring and about $20 from Auburn
student Angie Burkhalter.
Lloyd, 21, was originally
charged with robbery in the first
degree, which is the taking of
property while armed with a deadly
weapon or dangerous instrument.
Burkhalter, 04CEE, said Lloyd
approached her near the stadium
parking lot across the street from
the AUPD at 2:30 p.m. She
claimed he held two rocks in his
hands and threatened to "beat her
head in" if she did not give him her
money.
Lloyd denied having a weapon of
any sort, but admitted being high
oh crack cocaine at the time of the
incident. "I knew it was wrong,"
Lloyd said. "I didn't have no
intention of hurting her."
Lloyd's brother, James
Richardson of 2524 Lee Road,
Opelika, testified his brother had
been using crack for some time
prior to his arrest.
"To be honest, I think he kind of
lost it for a moment. At one time,
he was talking about hurting
himself," Richardson said.
Two other Auburn students,
Shannon McGee, 03VM, and
William Reynolds, 06ENT,
witnessed the robbery as they were
driving down Donahue Drive.
McGee, the driver of the vehicle,
turned around and pursued Lloyd.
In finding Lloyd guilty of third
degree robbery, the jury accepted
his plea that he committed the
robbery by threatening the
imminent use of force, but was not
armed with rocks at the time and
did not harm Burkhalter or strike
her in any way.
Although former detective Mike
Hart of the AUPD testified he had
seen the defendant nervously
picking up rocks and throwing
them down immediately prior to
the crime, he said he had not seen
Lloyd drop any rocks after
confronting Burkhalter.
"He had two rocks in his hands
when he confronted the victim,"
Hart said. Hart was watching
through the back window of the
police department about 220 feet
away. No rocks were found on
Lloyd at the time of his arrest, and
no attempts to recover the rocks
from the scene were made.
Hart and several other officers
pursued Lloyd from the parking lot
to the wooded area behind CDV
Extension. Investigator James
Majors of the Lee County Sheriff's
Office was called, and he brought
in Nero, a search dog who
eventually helped officers track
Lloyd through a drain pipe and into
the woods beside Highway 14.
Lloyd was found hiding on the
limb of a tree and was arrested that
afternoon.
Defense attorney Davis
Whittelsey said politics and public
relations were the reasons Lloyd
was charged with first degree
robbery.
"It's political," Whittelsey said.
"It's a black man that robbed a
white woman at Auburn
University, and it's going to make
the newspapers."
County redistricting may delay voting
Celine Bufkin
Staff Writer
The 1992 state congressional
elections may be delayed if the
Alabama Legislature does not
call a special session to
reapportion state voting districts,
said Marilyn Terry, director of
the Alabama Reapportionment
Commission.
Terry spoke to the Lee County
Democratic Club about the
requirements of a new voting
district plan for congressional
and legislative districts.
"Every 10 years, when the
census is released, states are
required to redraw congressional
and legislative districts to adjust
for the population change which
has occurred over the past 10
years," Terry said.
Either the qualifying time will
have to be moved, or the June
congressional primary elections
will be held back, she said.

When in Athens, appreciate Auburn
No one is safe
y i l hen a celebrity as big as Magic Johnson tests positive
for the HIV virus, the realization sets in that no one is
immune to AIDS.
However, everyone can takes steps to protect themselves.
Steps that Johnson never took.
Short of abstinence from sex, the best way to ensure safety
from the disease is the proper use of a condom. The pamphlets
that are available at Drake Student Health Center (and War Eagle
Cafeteria) can tell you that.
What they can't tell you where you can get condoms on cam­pus,
because no such place exists. Auburn, it seems, is behind
the times yet again.
Opponents of the distribution of free condoms at the health
center point to the fact anyone can go to a drugstore and buy a
condom.
That is hardly the point. What is the point is that the University
should be showing concern for its students and trying to help
them avoid a disease that leaves only death in its wake.
Education isn't enough, and the pamplets that are available
aren't enough. Students need to be able to get protective material
on campus.
Instead, the administration and the SGA seem intent upon
preaching their conservative morality to a group that isn't listen­ing.
It is impossible to prevent some students from having sex.
But it is possible to provide condoms to ensure that those who
do choose to have sex are doing it safely.
The price that Auburn students might have to pay otherwise is
far too great.
Image for president
A presidential election must be near, because President
George Bush is once again trying to reach into his black
bag of propaganda to confuse voters and keep the focus off real
issues.
Just in time for the beginning of the campaign season, Bush
has renewed his appeal for the return of prayer to public schools.
While this is clearly prohibited by the Constitution, Bush knows
it will appeal to millions of conservative voters, just like his ant-flag
burning stance did in 1988.
Apparently Bush is trying to diffuse the charge from his critics
that he is nothing but a overseas president that ignores domestic
issues.
However, he could have picked a real problem to address, such
as the recession, rather than making up one that will only blur
true campaign issues.
Better yet, he could explain why he went back on his, "No new
taxes" promise from the last campaign.
Or the vow to be the education president.
Or the vow to be the environmental president.
Instead, Bush seems content to ask a question again that has
been answered many times, while we ask him to abandon his
image campaign to focus, instead, on the real domestic problems
that'|jague this couj^ry. \
It was almost four
years ago that I made
my first trip to
Athens. I was look­ing
at Southern col­leges,
and University
of Georgia was the
first stop.
I remember being
awed by its journal­ism
school, im­pressed
by UGA's
tradition, skeptical of
"the zoo" dorm where thousands of
male freshmen lived, and unsure
about the town itself as well as the
non-student population, the "Town-ies."
The next stop was Auburn, and
the choice seemed obvious.
I wasn't going to have to walk up
one of the largest hills this side of
San Francisco.
I wasn't going to
spend a year being
barred from walking
under a set of arch­es.
I wasn't going to
have to deal with
anyone called a
"Townie."
The Loveliest
Village on the
Plains stole my
heart and, with it, my tuition
money.
Over the past four years, I have
had doubts about my choice, but
none greater than my feelings two
years ago, when I visited Athens
again.
I wasn't 21 at the time, so the
weekend I covered the Auburn-
Georgia game was a wild time.
Being 21 doesn't seem to mean
much in Athens' club scene, and all
I knew was that I was going any­where
I wanted, and doing anything
my 21-year-old friends could do. I
never could do that on the Plains.
Call it jealousy. Call it a momen­tary
loss of my priorities. Call it
bad taste. But at the time, "lovely"
wasn't doing much for me.
If a genie had popped out of a
bottle that weekend, I may have
gone back to 1988 and changed my
decision about which school to
attend.
Luckily, no genies came looking
for me, because soon after I remem­bered
what attracted me to Auburn.
' How pretty the town was.
How nice the people were.
How everything seemed so laid
back.
Still, with each passing day ,'I
thought of my underage peers arc
UGA who were club-hopping with
a passion.
No it wasn't fair, but now that I
am 21, I realize that it would have
been shallow to decide my future
based on bar and club policies.
And my trip to Athens this past,
weekend, perhaps my last visit
there as an undergrad, confirmed
my original thoughts about the two-towns.
Athens is a nice place to visit, but.
I wouldn't want to live there. Or go.
to school there.
Four years later it is great to real-'
ize that the choice I made was the
right one for me.
Racism not just for courts anymore
What decade is it
anyway?
A few more years
ago than I care to
admit, I as a naive
and idealistic high
school student, told
my product-of-the-
1950s parents that
racism was becoming
an issue of the past.
This was in the
1980s, and I was
basking in the glow
of my integrated school, integrated
neighborhood and integrated circle
of friends.
However, it is now the 1990s,
and racism seems to be raising its
ugly head more than ever.
Consider these events of the past
week:
• A former Ku Klux Klan Grand
Wizard was nearly elected governor
of Louisiana.
9j\
KIM CHANDLER
ASST. NEWS EDITOR
• The court battle
over the integration
of public schools is
still continuing in
Mississippi and
Georgia.
• I overheard
someone in my
chemistry class say,
"Why can't Ramsey
be thankful for what
he's been given and
be quiet like the rest
of the niggers on
the team."
I might not be able to have a
large effect in changing the first
two of these events, but I can do
something about the latter. I can say
something to the person that made
die comment.
As a prototype WASP, some
might argue that racial issues don't
affect me, and this isn't my battle. I
think they are wrong.
Racism equals ignorance. Igno­rance
is everyone's problem. Com­batting
ignorance is everyone's
responsibility. And the biggest
thing you and I can do to combat
ignorance is to speak out when we
see it. To not speak out against
racial slurs is to silently condone
the feeble-minded thinking that
produced them.
Courts can change racist laws,
but they cannot change the mindset
behind those laws which is what is
needed to change society. A single
verbal chastising might not change
the mind of an Archie Bunker-type
bigot, but perhaps several might
make him wonder if there is some­thing
just a little outdated in his
thinking (Forgive me, I still haven't
outgrown all of my naivete). Or at
least it might discourage him from
further making these comments in
public and spreading the disease of
his stupidity by creating a world
where racist ideas are unwelcome.
Without spouting any 1,000 points
of light rhetoric, I think we should
at least try to change the world, one
rebuttal at a time.
This policy should apply not only
to racist comments, but sexist and
homophobic slurs which also seem
to be running rampant in this so-called
liberated day and age. It
should not just apply to peers in
chemistry classes, but to friends,
parents, teachers and employers.
The front of the civil rights battle
has moved from the streets of
Selma to this nation's living rooms,
locker rooms, classrooms and bar­rooms.
Whether or not it will be a
victorious battle is up to us.
And about that person in my
chemistry class. Shock and shyness
kept me from saying something to
him at the time, but I sincerely hope
he is reading this column. It is lov­ingly
dedicated to him.

Without condom, even Magic no hero
Magic Johnson's
penis and a condom:
the two were obvi­ously
not well-acquainted
the past
few years.
Because of his
unguarded coital
contacts with count­less
women, Johnson
contracted the virus
causing AIDS. He
said himself he
believes he got the
virus from unprotected sex.
And the public has embraced
this HIV-infected superstar as a
hero.
A hero, for God's sake.
What is a hero nowadays?
Reader's Digest defines hero as
a "person who is greatly admired
because of his achievements or con­tribution
in some event, field or
period." V .
MARK LITTLETON
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR
The definition of
hero according to
Johnson's actions is
an adored, physical­ly-
gifted athlete
whose enormous
feats on a basketball
court offset his irre­sponsible,
inexcus­able
sexual activity
off of it
It appears John­son's
"heroic"
exploits were better
suited for the sexual revolution.
What is heroic about an unwill­ingness
to simply strap on a piece
of latex before engaging in sex with
someone you hardly know?
Johnson told Sports Illustated he
was in heavy demand for his sexual
services.
'There were just some bachelors
that almost every woman in Los
Angeles wanted to be with:*!Sddie
Murphy, Arsenio Hall and Magic
Johnson. I confess that after I
arrived in L.A. in 1979, I did my
best to accommodate as many
women as I could - most of them
through unprotected sex."
Boy, that's the person I want
educating my children about the
practice of safe sex.
It appears to me Johnson got
exactly what he deserved. But the
public has embraced him as a sav­ior,
some kind of conqueror of
enormous feats.
In basketball, he was a messiah.
He gave the NBA a name when it
was suffering with an image as a
league of a bunch of druggies.
Johnson led the Lakers to five
world titles in 11 years. He has the
reputation of being a consistent
winner.
But his ball-handling skills are
useless now. He's dealing with real
life and, most likely, death.

Letters
Letters A-7
Ramseys deserve good burning
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is in response to an
article from the Nov. 14 Plainsman
entitled "Ramseys find spotlight
burns." I found some of the
comments made by the Ramseys to
hold the "truth" behind the reasons
for the trouble they've caused.
First, Eric's quote, "I am
offended that people want to kill
me because I'm bringing out the
truth about the program," seemed
silly and ignorant. In case you
haven't noticed, Eric, Auburn is
strongly loved and supported by its
students and alumni. We will stand
behind our school in good and bad
times. Considering you were the
one that Auburn helped, I guess
people have a hard time
understanding why you are trying
to tear it apart.
Second, Twilitta's comment, "At
the beginning, I thought we
would...take them (the tapes) to the
president...." For what? A chance to
beg for more money like you did as
a student here? It is such a
coincidence that all of the stories
involving their attempts to release
the tapes to different publications
involve a request for money. Once
unsuccessful, they found an
attorney as hungry for fame as they
were. If these people were as
concerned with athletics as they
claim, then why the slooow release
of the tapes? Why didn't they just
lay the cards out on the table? Can
you say, "a short cut to success?"
Another comment by Twilitta
sums it up in a nutshell. She asks,
"What is so bad about us wanting
to be somebody?" I'll tell you,
Twilitta. It's the way you're
attempting to achieve financial
success at the expense of the
University that caused the funny
taste in our Wheaties.
You and your husband need to
learn the basic rule that other
successful people learned about
life. When you are born into this
world, it's with one thing. That is a
CHANCE. No one owes you
anything. What you make of that
chance is up to you. You two have
blown yours.
Eric, you had a chance through
your talent as a football player at
Auburn to get your degree. If
you're so easily discouraged by
those who tell you that you can't do
something, you'd have never made
it anyway. If you did receive
payments from alums and coaches,
then YOU benefitted. I hope the
IRS is planning an audit for you.
You do know about income tax
laws, don't you?
My final comment is about Eric
knowing "that a lot of players
respect what he is doing" and his
belief of still having friends on the
team. Eric, if you are so sure of
that, wouldn' it be interesting to set
up a visit for you and the media at
Sewell Hall to play on national
television? I'd pay to see that!

Glance back
10 years ago, 1981: Two Auburn freshman football players, Alan Manley of Albany, Ga., and Cary Condry
of Birmingham died in a car accident in Marianna, Fla.
General Hospital"s mythic couple, Luke and Laura, caused class attendence to reach quarter lows when
they finally got married.
The University's budget was made public for the first time in history.
15 years ago, 1976: WEGL began defending its programming in a series of of Plainsman editorial
symposia. The charge then, as it has been in the past two years, was that the radio station was programming for
itself, not its listeners.
20 years ago, 1971: Johnston and Malone bookstore hosted an autograph party for Robert V. Andelson, then
associate professor of philosophy, on the occasion of the publication of his new book, Imputed Rights: An
Essay in Christian Social Theory.
Pat Sullivan was a prime candidate for the Heisman Trophy.
Quote of the week
"It's not only your right to speak out against your government when wrongs are being committed, it's your
duty," said David Waters, a protester against training El Salvadorans at Fort Benning.
Moondog nothing but coward l « » l * * » huge for trustees
Editor, The Plainsman:
This is to the individual who calls
himself moondog. I do not know
who you are, or why you feel you
have to berate everything and
almost everyone here at the
University, but I do know that all
you do is whine and insult people.
If you need to air your
grievances, then offer some
suggestions for improvement.
Insults and (severe) sarcasm do not
help! I do support your right to free
speech, but one can take it too far.
I suppose you think you are being
humorous. Humor does not include
cruelty. How is one supposed to
respond to you? You leave no name
on anything.
Oh, by the way (as you have
probably guessed) I am the one
who called you a coward. Who's
the COWARD now? I am truly
sorry everyone and everything isn't
as perfect as you - CHEER UP!
You can always transfer to Bama
(They'd probably love you!).

All people granted certain rights
Editor, The Plainsman:
In his letter (Nov. 14), Kevin Jay
Swindle complains about the poor
content of The Plainsman. I am
afraid, however, that his letter did
nothing to help the reputation of the
paper.
To be specific, Mr. Swindle
needs a refresher lesson in morality
'and natural law. He stated that
rights come only from, participation
in a democratic process.
In reality, according to the
principles that this and other
democratic nations are founded on,
there are "certain inalienable
rights" (sound familiar?) that
transcend all peoples, not just those
who can vote. As far as animals are
concerned, perhaps they do not
have rights under this political
theory, but there are other codes of
morality that are pertinent. The idea
that you own a living creature, and
can therefore treat it in any way
you wish, is not only immoral, it is
in many cases (though riot often
enough), illegal.
Finally, to call the pre-revolutionary
Russian aristocracy
"scape goats" is in such bad taste
that it hardly needs mentioning.
Perhaps I should explain briefly
that to call the rulers of that
oppressive system "scape goats" for
the problems of the starving,
oppressed masses is like calling the
communists "scape goats" for the
problems of the Soviet Union. It is
the government that is responsible
for the welfare of the people and
must be, to paraphrase Jefferson,
"altered or abolished when it is
not."
These same codes of morality
which hold societies together must
be applied in all dealings; man to
man, man to government, and man
to nature.

Magic shows AIDS affects everyone
Editor ,The Plainsman:
As everyone else, I was shocked
to hear that Magic Johnson has
tested HIV positive.
I immediately felt a great deal of
sorrow for him, his family and
friends.
But as I watched the evening
news, I wondered how many other
people in the United States this
week learned that they were HIV
positive? Why don't we all feel
more sorrow for them and their
families and friends?
About a year ago, I learned that a
young man I went from
kindergarten through high school
with had AIDS.
We had attended church together,
gone on mission trips together,
competed in literary tournaments
together.
I don't know how he contracted
the virus, and it really doesn't
matter. By last Christmas, he was
dead.
The method of transmission
made no difference in the pain he
experienced, or in the grief his
family felt.
A lot of people still believe that
AIDS does not and will not affect
them.
Well, I've been affected.
I engage in no high-risk behavior,
have never had a blood transfusion
and (for those who believe their
religion exempts them) I attend
church regularly.
Last month, my high school class
celebrated its 15-year reunion. Out
of 75 graduates, there was one less
to send this year because of AIDS.
Think about who may be missing
from you r 15-year reunion....
Perhaps from the Magic Johnson
tragedy we will all care a little
more and do a little more to help
put an end to this "equal
opportunity" disease.
Yes, AIDS affects us all.

Editor, The Plainsman:
A friend of mine sent me the
enclosed article on the so called
"Big ol' loopholes." This has been
going on for years, and there are
two or three people responsible,
and it all points to the top brass on
the Board of Trustees.
All the newspapers are afraid to
call names, and in the meantime,
Auburn is losing money,
management and its reputation ...
all is going down the drain.
What does it take to get
something done?
This Mr. McCartney was re­appointed
to the board by the
governor, and although the State
Senate did not confirm him, he is
still serving. I think the newspaper
should find out why the senate
would not confirm and why a new
member has not been appointed.
There are some good board
members such as Denton, Venable
and Cunningham, and I am sure if
asked, they would tell you the real
story.
Auburn has lost millions in
donations because the alumni will
not give money to an institution
where self-dealing is going on by
certain board members, and their
money is not going for the good of
the University as far as buildings,
equipment and good professors.
This article was good, yet evasive
in telling the whole story. Give
names and facts without hesitation.

Auburn needs to stick together
Editor, The Plainsman:
The chips are definitely down.
Eric Ramsey's face is splashed
all over the front page of practically
every newspaper in the state,
including this one. Each day we
hear tall tales of the unspeakable
graft and corruption ruling Auburn
athletics. Proration has caused the
morale of students and faculty alike
to plummet, and rumors of
administrative furloughs and class
schedules being cut back to the
barest minimum have all of us
wondering when, and indeed if,
things are going to turn around.
I come to work here every day,
only to encounter the sullen faces
of co-workers whose very
motivation has washed away under
the tidal wave of indifference
flowing freely from a lame-duck
administration and an untouchable
Board of Trustees. I see students
whose nail-biting and frequent
looks of worry attest to the
pressures they face in overcrowded
or cancelled classes, tuition
increases and delayed graduations.
Yet through it all, I see that hope
truly does spring eternal. I was on
the verge of believing that things
will never be the same at Auburn
... until I turned to the "Letters"
column of last week's Plainsman.
Thanks to the comments of Jennifer
Douglas, Christian Walters, Mark
Goffi, Chris Holmes and Lori
Lakeman, I am now convinced that
pride and school spirit are tangibles
that cannot be denied or destroyed
through harsh words or unpleasant
circumstances.
Thank you, students, for
reaffirming my faith in the
underlying strength of the
University. You make me believe
that if we stick together, we can get
through whatever happens here.
Thank you for lighting a candle
in my darkness.

Problems didn't begin with Ramsey
Editor, The Plainsman
As a friend of Eric and former
walk-on, I must say that I am pretty
tired of hearing "Eric should have
kept his mouth closed!"
I am not saying that I support
everything that he has said because
there are some questions to his true
intentions, but why are we trying to
make the athletic department "he
victims?" If his allegations are true,
and it is safe to say that players are
to be paid then there is a problem
with the regulating body of the
NCAA, not Eric.
If both of his allegations of
racism and players getting paid are
true, than the real reason that
everyone is mad at Eric is because
he is not being a "Good Nigga" and
keeping his hand open while
keeping his mouth shut
I personnaly would like to see
more ball players graduate
regardless of whether or not they
play pro ball or not. I feel that the
Southern Mentality has blinded
these players to the real facts of
caring. The confusion occurs within
these two questions:
Do I care about you more if I
ensure that you get the best possible
education? Or do I care about you
more if I put some money in your
hand?
If the latter is true then the real
victims are the ball players that
don't get a solid education which
appears to be a large portion of
them.

Win or lose, fans will stay loyal
Editor, The Plainsman:
Let me begin by saying that I
have nothing against Stan White,
Coach Dye or the Auburn football
team. I've been an Auburn football
fan for as long as I can remember,
and unlike many AU students, I
still am. But after reading some of
the letters to the editor (two weeks
ago), I have a few things to say.
First, I think everyone should lay
off Stan White. Half of the time,
it's not Stan's fault that the offense
isn't doing much. While I may not
be the expert about football like the
author of last week's letter (NOT!),
I do know that the rest of the
offensive line deserves some of the
credit. "
True, he has trouble throwing
under pressure; but he shouldn't be
under pressure every time the ball
is snapped. And what about the
receivers? Is it not their
responsibility to catch the ball? Not
to mention all the injuries we've
had.
I hate to sound like I'm bashing
the team, I just think that it is unfair
for Stan White to get all the blame.
I would also like to say
something about the fans' attitudes
at some of the games. I think it is a
shame that the Florida fans were
the only ones left in Jordan-Hare
after their 31-10 victory. When I
was in high school, our team went
1-9, but at least our fans (those that
showed up to'begin with) had the
decency to stay the whole game.
And I could probably use my
fingers to count the fans at the
Southwestern Louisiana game.
Speaking of the Southwestern
Louisiana game, I hope that our 50-
7 win doesn't lead the team into a
false sense of security. There is still
(one) huge game left. You never can
tell with the Auburn vs. Alabama
game.
I may have said some bad things
about our football team, but that
doesn't mean that I won't support
them. Whether we're winning,
losing or on probation, I'll always
be a Dye-hard Auburn fan.

University's academic scholarships increase 9 percent
Declining economy might affect contributions
through lower interest rates on returns
Christy Kyser
News Editor
In the midst of economic woes,
the number of academic scholar­ships
offered by Auburn has
increased some 9 percent since
1989-90.
The University awarded 1,343
scholarships during 1990-91, as
compared to 1,156 scholarships in
1989-90.
"Scholarships are funded by per­sonal
endowments," Clark
Aldridge, director of student finan­cial
aid, said. "If the economy has
any play in the amount of money
donated, it will be in the fact that at
some point, interest rates will be
down and don't generate as much
on returns."
Aldridge said scholarship money
is not affected by proration because
it is collected through personal
contributions, and no state money
is used.
Endowments are the result of an
individual or organization support­ing
a particular area of the Univer­sity,
so they set aside a fund. From
the fund, the interest rates drawn
are donated to the University with
the stipulation that they are used in
the desired department.
"While these numbers are
promising, we still need to increase
to compete with other universities,"
Aldridge said.
The majority of the scholarships
are academic, but a substantial
number are based on need as well,
Aldridge said.
The following were among the
scholarships awarded:
• 40 non-renewable Alumni Aca­demic
Scholarships worth $1,300
each;
• 75 non-renewable Dudley Aca­demic
Scholarships worth $1,500
each;
• 10 renewable Dudley Opportunity
Scholarships worth $1,500 each.
The "License to Learn" endow­ment
from vanity tag sales has sur­passed
$800,000.

Alabama has highest dropout rate ||Wall to Wall Thanksgiving Clearances (on all o r stereos)
Kim Chandler
Assistant News Editor
Alabama leads the nation in high
school dropout rates, according to a
survey released last week by the
National Census Bureau.
The survey of 58,000 American
households concluded that only
63.2 percent of Alabamians have
completed high school, and only
11.6 percent have completed at
least four years of college.
This is compared to the national
averages of 76.9 percent for high
school and 21.1 percent for college.
Harry Toothaker, an information
specialist in the Alabama
Department of Education, said this
is not a complete census and also
may not be accurate because of the
number of older people included in
the survey.
"The older a person is the less
likely he is to have obtained a
higher education," Toothaker said.
"Therefore, the survey does not
reflect the strides that Alabama has
made in education in recent years".
Only West Virginia ranked
below Alabama in the number of
college graduates.
The study also found that blacks
lagged behind whites in obtaining
an education in Alabama as well as
nationally.
In Alabama, 54.2 percent of
blacks surveyed had finished high
school and 8.3 percent had finished
college. The national averages for
blacks are 64.6 percent and 11.8
percent.
The 1990 U.S. Department of
Education Annual Performance
Rate Report listed Alabama as the
state most improved in reducing
high school dropout rates,
Toothaker said.
"That year the graduation rate
was almost 75 percent," he said.
Dropout rates are a focus of
concern for Alabama, and the state
has initiated several programs, such
as truancy prevention programs and
the placing of guidance counselors
in elementary schools to combat
the problem, Toothaker said.

UPC requests that you bring one canned good to the
free movie this weekend to support the SGA Food Drive
( Not a requirement for admission)
Due to the capacity crowds at our recent events,
the University Program Council
will be checking IDs
at every event according to the UPC by-laws as stated in the Tiger
Cub, page 112, Article V, Sections 1 & 2 - Attendance Policy
Section 1: Any free UPC function, totally funded by student activity fees, with limited seating shall follow priorities for
admission.
1. Auburn University students with valid ID cards shall be admitted on a first come, first serve basis.
2. Faculty and general public shall be required to wait for five (5) to fifteen (15) minutes prior to the beginning of
an event to gain admission provided ample space is available.
3. When the UPC distributes tickets to an event, the tickets shall be given to the students on a priority basis. It shall
be left to the committee's discretion if students with tickets shall be given earlier admission than general public with tickets.
Section 2: If the UPC shares costs for an event with another organization, admission policies should be mutually agreed
upon prior to the event. In the case where a grant helps fund an event, general public should be admitted. The option of
priority admission of students should be directed by the committee responsible for the event.

Alumnus' space shuttle mission postponed 5 to 7 days
Amanda Brooks
Assistant News Editor
Auburn will be able to claim four
astronauts as its own when Lt. Col.
Jim Voss takes off on the space
shuttle Atlantis.
The Atlantis was scheduled to
launch Nov. 19 from Kennedy
Space Center in Florida, but the
flight has been delayed five to
seven days, according to The Asso­ciated
Press.
Voss is a 1972 graduate in
aerospace engineering.
In a taped interview before the
flight, Voss said he was somewhat
apprehensive as time drew near for
the flight.
"I'm really looking forward to
the flight. I guess that's the emo­tion
you feel the most," he said.
One of 12 Army servicemen
assigned to NASA, Voss is serving
as a Mission Specialist I on the
mission, which is known as STS
44.
"My responsibility is primarily
to deploy a satellite that will
become part of the nation's early
warning system [against interconti­nental
ballistic missiles]," Voss
said.
Voss said the early warning sys­tem
was used during the war with
Iraq to detect Scud missile launch­es
and to tell where they were
going.
"This is part of a system that
we've had for many years," he
said.
Other Auburn graduates that
have flown in space are Henry
"Hank" Hartsfield, T.K. "Ken"
Mattingly and Kathryn Cordell
Thornton.
The mission of the six-member
crew will last 10 days. While in
space, the crew will also conduct
medical experiments on the long-term
effects of space travel on
humans.
Voss is originally from Cordova,
Ala., but he grew up in Opelika and
graduated from Opelika High
School.
In honor of Voss's mission,
Auburn mayor Jan Dempsey, Ope­lika
Mayor Bobby Freeman and
Probate Judge Hal Smith pro­claimed
Nov. 19 as "Jim Voss
Day" in Lee County.
His wife, Suzan, a 1971 Auburn
graduate, works in NASA's Pro­gram
Office. Jim Voss

Continuing road construction angers residents, businesses
Project will widen lanes and alleviate accidents,
but weather and traffic stipulations force
completion to middle of December
Tim Penick
Staff Writer
The seemingly endless road
Construction in Auburn has
students, business owners and
residents puzzled and angry.
The road expansion project
where Thach Avenue intersects
Gay and College streets appears to
be drawing the most criticism from
its surrounding community. The
intersections have been dismantled
for almost nine months, and the
lack of immediate repair is
becoming a concern for businesses,
residents and those involved with
the project.
Auburn City Manager Doug
Watson said the project will solve
the accident problems in the area
by expanding the width of the
roads and adding turn lanes. The
project was contracted to the
Alabama Highway Department by
the city last winter and was to be
completed by late September.
Watson said he is not sure when
the roads will be completed.
"We're not pleased at all with
the lack of progress," Watson said.
"It was supposed to be completed
by the beginning of fall quarter,
and we have protested to the
Venky Chellappa/Suff
Construction on Gay Street will widen lanes and add turn sig­nals,
but the nine-month project has triggered complaints.
highway department."
Miles Ward, the district engineer
for the Alabama Highway
Department, said he asked for an
extension because of the slow
progress.
"This has been slow work
because of weather and stipulations
with traffic. We could not close the
streets down altogether, so we have
worked around the traffic," Ward
said.
"We also ran into some
unexpected problems with utilities
in the area. We hope to be finished
by the middle of December," he
said.
Not only will the roads be
repaired when the project is
completed, but the surrounding
businesses will be able to operate
without the detrimental effects of
road construction.
One local business being
affected is Four Seasons Cleaners,
located at the corner of Thach
Avenue and Gay Street. Manager
Hal Killingsworth said the ongoing
repair at both entrances to the
establishment is having a negative
effect on business.
"Some of our long-time
customers have gone elsewhere
because they don't want to deal
with the intersection,"
Killingsworth said. "We also have
problems with the dust and dirt
from the torn-up roads. We had to
buy filters to keep the place clean.
This has been going on far too
long."
Students also have strong
opinions about Auburn's road
repair. Dave Curvy, 04MK, said if
the construction problem was not
on College Street, it would
certainly be somewhere in Auburn.
'The roads here have been under
construction all four years I've
been here, and the people who
repair them are incompetent
because they never seem to finish a
job," he said.

Auburn observes AIDS Day
Panel discussion
features information
on related subjects
Paige Christopher
Staff Writer
World AIDS Day, the only inter­national
day of coordinated action
against AIDS, will be observed in
Auburn Monday, Dec. 2.
The main event, a panel discus­sion
about three AIDS-related sub­jects,
will be held on campus in the
Foy Union Ballroom at 7 p.m. A
question-and-answer session will
follow.
The first subject, HIV infection
(the virus that causes AIDS) and
the college student, will be con­ducted
by James L. Werth, campus
coordinator of World AIDS Day
and AIDS liaison.
The health-care worker contro­versy
over AIDS, the second topic,
will be conducted by Sarah
Wolters, co-president of the Lee
County AIDS Outreach and a reg­istered
nurse at East Alabama Med­ical
Center.
The last subject, early detection
and treatment for HIV infection,
will be covered by Sister Judy
Jones, HIV case manager for the
Columbus Department of Health.
In addition to the panel, the Uni­versity's
health education depart­ment
and Lee County AIDS Out­reach
will have information booths
that provide free pamphlets and
posters about AIDS topics. The
booths will be located at various
spots on campus.
In addition, all campus dormito­ries
will provide free general infor­mation
about the disease.
The goals of World AIDS Day
are to increase AIDS awareness, to
help reinforce AIDS prevention
activities, to promote support for
all HIV-infected persons and to
help combat discrimination and
isolation.
This year's theme is "Sharing the
Challenge." It was derived from a
talk given by Hiroshi Nakajima,
director-general of the World
Health Organization, when he
addressed the organization by say­ing,
"We all need to join forces and
share the challenge."
Werth said, "The theme is appro­priate,
considering the magnitude
of the problem, because the only
way we'll make any progress is by
working together."
Events will be sponsored by the
health education department of
Drake Student Health Center.

Ads mark female smokers
Kristina R. Howell
Staff Writer
You've come a long way,
baby.
Sophistication and glamour are
the rewards of smoking; at least
that is what cigarette advertise­ments
seem to be telling young
women.
"Smoking used to be glam­orous,
and the cigarette compa­nies
are still focusing on this
type of ad," said Dianne Y.
Smith, the psycho-abuse coordi­nator
for the Office of Health
Promotion and Information at
the Alabama State Department
of Health.
"It depends on which side of
the fence a person is on as to
whether smoking is viewed as
sexy or not sexy," she said.
Smith, who just finished a
five-year grant to research smok­ing
from the National Cancer
Institute, said her impression
from interactions in field work is
that women are smoking more
than men.
"College is a stressful time,
and smoking is linked to stress,
which may account for many
smokers in college," Smith said.
Anita Wright, vice-president
of programs for the Alabama
Division of the American Cancer
Society, said, "The advertisers
are targeting young women
because they know young
women have a higher smoking
rate than men."
Debra Long, field representa­tive
for the Mid-East Central
Area Alabama Division of the
American Cancer Society, said,
"Cigarette ads are saying to girls
that they've been suppressed
long enough, and it's their turn
to taste the good life - in other
Words, smoking."
"Smoking is a fashionable
trend that now is on a down­swing.
Non-smokers aren't
afraid to stand up for their rights
anymore, and smokers are being
forced by a society against
smoking to be more considerate
of non-smokers' feelings," Long
said.
The most recent National
Health Interview Survey has a
sampling of more than 44,000
people, age 18 and older.
"When non-smokers were
asked their reaction to other peo­ple's
smoking in public places,
31.2 percent of males said it
annoyed them, and 41 percent of
females were annoyed," said
Monina Klevens, epidemiology
branch of the office on Health
and Smoking in Atlanta.
But she said, "Men are quicker
to ask someone not to smoke.
"Also, 48.9 percent of males
said they would just move away
from the smoker, but 55.1 per­cent
of women said they would
move away. This shows that
women are being more passive,"
Klevens said.
Chace Edwards, 04MN, said,
"I'm on standards committee
with my sorority, and a girl can't
smoke in her letters because in
our by-laws, it says that smoking
isn't ladylike. I think this reflects
society's view of smoking."
One female smoker, who
asked to remain anonymous
because she hides her smoking,
said, "It looks atrocious, and I
find most males don't approve of
girls smoking. But I smoke
because it relaxes me.
"I keep it private because it
seems to turn men off. My ex-boyfriend
smoked, but he didn't
like me smoking at all. He would
say to me that girls don't
smoke," she said.
Recent Auburn graduate Wes
E. Shemwell said, "When I see a
girl that I thought was attractive
and she is smoking, I see a big
character flaw. She doesn't care
enough about herself, and that's
a big turn-off."
Smith said, "There are many
smoker-non-smoker relation­ships.
It's the same logic in these
relationships as in relationships
between two people of different
religions."

Alumni set record for giving in fiscal 1990-91
Greg Klein
Editor
In early summer, Eric Ramsey's
charges of racism threw the first
fuel on the bonfire of allegations
that has ignited against Auburn this
fall.
At the same time, Auburn alumni
gave the University their support.
In September, Ramsey began
releasing his tapes with the claim
that he was given illegal benefits
while attending school.
At the same time, Auburn alumni
gave the University their support.
Oct. 26, Mississippi State and its
new head coach Jackie Sherrill
crushed a Tiger rally to spoil the
homecoming game. It wasn't the
team's first or last loss.
At the same time, Auburn alumni
gave the University and the foot­ball
team their support.
In fact, not only have the alumni
kept giving, but they set several
records for giving during the past
fiscal year of October 1990 through
September 1991, Vice President for
Alumni and Development Joe
Busta said.
"Last year, we had the most
money and most donors ever, even
though the end of the fiscal year
overlapped with the early Ramsey
incidents," Busta said.
He said the Alumni Center set a
goal of raising $860,000 from

annual donations for the period that
ended in September. However,
approximately 14,000 alumni gave
more than $1.15 million during the
last fiscal year, he said.
"Both are all-time records for
Auburn," Busta said. "It indicates
the broad range of support that
Auburn gets."
In addition, he said for the first
month of the new fiscal year, the
number and amount of donations
has been consistent with last year's
record figures.
One alumnus, who wished to be
referred to only by his first name,
Henry, said true supporters of
Auburn wouldn't let a poor season
or possible NCAA violations affect
them.
"I grew up shouting, 'War
Eagle,' and I don't plan on stop­ping,
not for any reason," Henry
said when contacted by phone after
the loss to Georgia. Henry graduat­ed
more than 20 years ago and now
lives in Atlanta.
"The thing is, I've seen all of this
before," he said. "We've had bad
football seasons, especially before
Coach Dye came here, and
although our team may be 5-5 and
under investigation, it isn't so bad.
I've seen 3-8 years, probations,
investigations, everything. But
Auburn will always have my sup­port
and the support of many other
people like me."

Citizens voice concern over proposal
Cathi Harris
Staff Writer
Alabama Power's plans to build
«iiew office on University property
don't sit well with several Auburn
residents who live near the pro­posed
building site.
Evelyn Jordan of 127 Woodfield
Drive is particularly concerned
about the proposal because the
building would be located across
the street from her house.
Jordan and other residents of
Woodfield Drive have composed a
petition to stop the construction.
"The chief thing we are con­cerned
about is the use of it," Jor­dan
said. "We just feel that this is
not the place for a commercial
building - in the middle of a resi­dential
area."
Jordan said they would not have
a problem with a University build­ing
such as a dormitory or agricul­tural
building on the field, but they
object to the use of the land by a
commercial interest.
Increased traffic and the depreci­ation
of real estate are other con­cerns
of the residents.
"Woodfield is a residential
street," Jordan said. "The building
would be adding to the traffic.
We've already had three fatalities
at the corner this year."
Jeff Hand, district manager for
Alabama Power, said the site was
chosen partly because of its acces­sibility
to students, which make up
a large portion of Alabama Power's
customer base.
"We feel that this location will
be more in the center," he said.
"There is a lot of growth out in that
area and a lot of new (apartment)
complexes."
Bill proposes stricter DUI laws
Kim Chandler
Assistant News Editor
Sen. Walter Owens (R-Centre-ville)
plans to prefile a bill for the
next legislative session that will
change the way Alabama handles
drunk driving incidents.
The bill would change the legal
level of intoxication from a .10 on
a Breathalyzer test to a .08 and pro­vide
for the automatic suspension
of a person's driver's license if
convicted of driving under the
influence.
Under the conditions of the
Administrative License Revocation
(ALR) Bill, the period of suspen­sion
will be 90 days if the person's
driving record shows no prior alco­hol
or drug-related license suspen­sions
within the last five years. The
period of revocation will be for one
year if the person's record shows
one prior alcohol or drug-related
suspension during the last five
years and for three years if the per­son
has had two or more license
suspensions in the last five years.
"Most people think that Alabama
already has an automatic license
revocation law, but it doesn't,"
Owens said. "This isn't meant to be
a punitive measure, but simply the
removal of a safety hazard."
ALR is supported by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, and
its passage will qualify Alabama to
receive $4.5 million annually from
the National Highway Traffic Safe­ty
Administration.
In a study released from the
Department of Transportation, the
passage of ALR laws has helped to
reduce alcohol-related traffic acci­dents
and fatalities. According to
the study, fatalities dropped 37 per­cent
during the first full year of
operation in North Dakota and
approximately 60 percent in New
Mexico.
The reduction of the legal level
of intoxication is meant to discour­age
people from drinking and driv­ing,
Owens said.
"A person can have less than a
.10 blood alcohol content and still
be a threat," he said.
Drinking and driving is one of
the major problems in the state and
the nation, Owens said. Alcohol-related
accident and fatality rates
have remained fairly constant for
the last eight years despite changes
in the drinking age in 1983.
Comparisons between 1983 and
1984 rates are not accurate because
of changes in the DUI-reporting
procedure, Dorris Teague,
spokeswoman for the Alabama
Department of Safety, said.
Owen's bill was originally intro­duced
at the last legislative session,
but was indefinitely postponed for
vote. *M CltljC and leave

Citizens protest soldiers' training
Kim Chandler
Assistant News Editor
FORT BENNING, Ga. - As
students concentrated on the
gridiron battle in Athens last Sat­urday,
a group of about 70
protesters gathered at the main
gate of Fort Benning to concen­trate
on what they consider to be
the more important battle for
human rights.
The gathering was to protest
the training of El Salvadoran sol­diers
located at the Fort Benning
School of Americas (SOA) and
to voice opposition to U.S. mili­tary
policy in Latin America.
"We are here to voice opposi­tion
to U.S. involvement in the
murders of more than 70,000
innocent people," Vicky Imer-man,
director of SOA Watch,
said.
A speaker at the protest, David
Waters, a Vietnam veteran, said,
"It's not only your right to speak
out against your government
when wrongs are being commit­ted,
it's your duty."
Waters also said he was moti­vated
to become politically
involved during the Iran-Contra
hearings when he was reminded
that the government has the
capacity to lie to the public.
In 1946, SOA was founded in
Panama as a means of providing
military aid to Central American
countries. The school moved to
Fort Benning in 1984 and has
provided more than 54,000 Latin
American soldiers with Spanish
instruction in U.S. military tac­tics.
Most of the soldiers trained
are from El Salvador and Colom­bia.
Fort Benning officials main­tain
human rights as set down by
the Geneva Convention are
emphasized throughout training
at SOA, and that the school ful­fills
a viable function.
A U.S. Congressional investi-
Councsy ui" Pat Hood
Protestors gathered at Fort Benning in Columbus, Ga., to
demonstrate against the training of El Salvadoran troops.
gation linked the El Salvador
military to the 1989 murder of
six Jesuit priests, their house­keeper
and her daughter at the
University of Central America in
San Salvador. Five of the nine
soldiers involved in the slaying
received training at Fort Ben­ning.
This incident prompted the
start of protests in Columbus
including a 35-day hunger strike
by the Rev. Roy Bourgeois, a
Catholic priest and friend of the
two nuns who were raped and
killed in El Salvador in 1980.
Bourgeois is the leader in the
movement against SOA, Imer-man
said.
He is currently serving a 16-
month sentence for pouring
blood on the SOA sign in protest
of the school.
According to Imerman, Bour­geois
said to the judge during his
sentencing, "You couldn't stop
the Civil Rights movement here,
nor can the world struggle for
human rights be stopped."
