Geneva House
' helps teen moms
Funds needed for restoration
by Amy French
Staff Writer
"Remember to hold your temper
and hug your child."
This is the phrase at the top of
Lee-SCAN's quarterly newsletter
and the theme of the programs
provided by the non-profit
organization to stop child abuse
and neglect in Lee County and the
surrounding area.
In 1991, a large house in Opelika
was donated to Lee-SCAN to
provide a residential group home,
called Geneva House, for homeless
or abused adolescent mothers and
their children.
Leigh Meadows, 02SW and a
volunteer with Lee-SCAN, hopes
Geneva House will help teen
mothers.
Among the services Lee-SCAN
offers is the Godparent Project, in
which volunteers are matched with
new mothers and help with
whatever problems they face.
Of the 200 teen parents who have
participated in the Godparent
Project, 75 percent have had a
parent or guardian who abused
drugs or alcohol, 65 percent have
experienced significant abuse or
neglect, 55 percent have dropped
out of school and 15 percent have
been homeless, according*to Lee-
SCAN calculations.
Jean Spicer, executive director of
Lee-SCAN, hopes the program will
have a significant and positive
effect on the young women's lives.
"By providing a safe haven for
these young families as well as the
opportunity to complete their
educations, acquire parenting skills
and the hope of a future free from
drugs and abuse, Lee-SCAN will be
able to help at least two generations
of children break the cycle of abuse
and neglect," she said.
However, Geneva House, still
needs more than $60,000 in repairs
and furniture to become a reality.
The project has been able to pick
up speed this summer with $40,000
in donations from McDonald's
Children's Charities and Alabama
Power Company, and smaller
amounts from local groups.
"For the past two years, we have
had to do what we could with
volunteer labor and what little
funding we have through
charitable agencies such as the
United Way and the Children's
Trust Fund," Meadows said.
"Now, with the donations, we
can bring in professionals to do
some of the roofing, plumbing and
electrical work."
Meadows added that Auburn
student organizations such as
Alpha Phi Omega and Omega Phi
Alpha, the service fraternity and
sorority, have made up most of
Lee-SCAN's volunteer force so far.
The need for organizations such
as Lee-SCAN in Alabama is great.
According to the Alabama
Department of Health, 17.4 percent
of the live births in Alabama in
1987 were to teen mothers.

Student complaints prompted the SGA and EAO to clean up the banks and water of Drunk Creek in Loachapoka.
Trash pickup planned at Drunk Creek
by Jennifer Acevedo
News Editor
Swimming at "Drunk Creek" in
Loachapoka will be safer and more
pleasant thanks to a joint effort by
the Environmental Awareness
Organization (EAO) and the SGA's
environmental awareness
committee.
Both groups have planned a
cleanup of the student hangout
Aug. 7 in hopes of collecting trash
that has collected on the creek's
banks.
EAO coordinator Mike Wall,
03WL, said personal experience as
well as complaints from students
led his group to plan the cleanup
effort.
"It's really trashy out there. We'll
basically go out there and swim
and have fun and try to clean up at
the same time," he said. "There's
cans all along the banks and then
there's trash and fast food bags. 1
even saw some empty cans of oil."
Although the group usually
cleans up the area just outside of
Chewacla State Park, Wall said
Drunk Creek appeared to be in
more dire need.
"We clean up along Poor Man's
Chewacla every quarter, and it's
really trashy out there, too ... but
we decided to skip that this quarter
and go out to Loachapoka because
a couple of us went out there and
saw how dirty it was," he said.
Amy Stinson, 02PT and head of
the SGA's environmental
awareness committee, said she has
heard similar complaints about the
area.
"People that I know who have
gone out there talk about how
messy it was," she said. "I think it
will be a good project."
Stinson said her committee hopes
to improve relations between the

Fraternity housemother dies of cancer
by Dawn MacDonald
Staff Writer
Sigma Pi's housemother Nell
Bell died July 25 after a battle with
cancer.
"She has been at the house for
more than 10 years and will be
deeply missed," Billy McKnight,
02HF, said.
According to McKnight, Bell, a
widower, coordinated little sister
activities, planned meals and
participated in rush.
Addam Arrington, 04BSC, said
he will think of last year's
Halloween party when he
remembers Bell.
"Mom wanted to surprise us.
L
She didn't tell anyone what she
was going to be for Halloween," he
said. But, in the middle of the
party, someone dressed as a
stormtrooper from Star Wars came
up behind him and tried to scare
him.
"It was Mom. She was always
doing funny things like that," he
said.
Arrington said that in addition
to being the life of the party, Bell
was a calming force for the
brothers.
"She consistently left little notes
on the bulletin board telling us to
be careful traveling for a holiday
weekend or just to have a good
weekend or break," he said.
"Mom did a lot for this place.
She was that extra something that
made this seem more like a
family."
F r a t e r n i t y
brother Jamie
Brown said he
remembers Bell
as more than
just a
housemother.
"She was like ^
a mother or
g r a n d m o t h e r
away from
home. She was
always there,"
he said. "I remember early one
morning that I couldn't sleep
because 1 was upset.
"I was up walking around the
Bell
house. She always got up early to
plan things for the day. When she
saw me, she knew I was upset and
was concerned. So she went into
the kitchen with me and cooked
breakfast," he said.
"We just sat there and talked
about small stuff. Mom looked at
everybody here like they were her
own. She never held anything
against you. She was just there to
help you get through your daily
problems."
"She was a great lady with a
sweet disposition," McKnight said.
"Not only did she take care of
business, she took the place of our
moms while we were away from
home (and) helped us with school
and personal matters," he said.

Cable television subscribers in
Lee County may soon see some
changes in their bills.
Regulations stemming from the
Cable Television Re-regulation Act
of 1992 will spell a decrease in rates
for many customers beginning
Sept. 1, but some subscribers may
see an increase.
The act, passed last summer, was
intended to provide some relief to
cable subscribers who thought they
were being overcharged and
under-serviced.
Under power given by the new
law, the Federal Communications

subscriber to wire the home for
cable instead of paying the
company for installation.
But many companies, including
TeleCable of Lee County, charge
rates that are slightly lower than
the federal benchmark, allowing
room to increase rates in the future.
Ross Summers, general manager
of TeleCable, sees the new
regulations as "not benefiting us or
the customers."
"The original intent of the law
was to try to reduce the cost of
cable service," he said. "There are
actually going to be a number of
our customers who see an increase
in their bills."

reasonable," Parver said in a phone
interview from Washington, D.C.

University's Air Force ROTC receives 'excellent' evaluation
Auburn's Air Force ROTC program
received an "excellent" rating, according to
the Air Force's Air Education and Training
Command.
The rating, which is the highest an
ROTC program can receive, was conferred
to Auburn's program following an inspec­tion
earlier this year.
The program received highest marks in
eight comprehensive categories.
Capt. Gary McAlum credits the involve­ment
of Air Force staff with the program's
success.
"From the time they are freshmen, we
take a personal involvement in our cadet's
academics and college life," he said. "We
try to be role models and give them a posi­tive

Because the bomb was set off outside his door, Phillips said the
police assumed he did it or knew who did.
'That detective had a real attitude problem. He kept coming
back and trying to scare me. He said he was going to come and
pull me out of class and arrest me," Phillips said.

Folsom's task force on education to be grounds for his
approval or disapproval as gubernatorial candidate in 1994
Gov. Jim Folsom has established a task
force to solve inadequacies in Alabama's
distribution of education dollars.
Mont^jinery Circuit Court Judge Gene
Reese ruled in the beginning of July the
presence of Alabama's two largest schools,
University of Alabama and Auburn Uni­versity,
would confuse the issues at hand.
An 11-member panel was appointed to
be effective until Oct. 1. The panel must
write and submit a budgeting plan by this
date.
The panel mentioned plans of teacher
testing and the proposed creation of an
independent office of school reform
accountability to oversee reform efforts.
Folsom said he was proceeding with
caution on the education issue saying this
will be the grounds where opponents will
judge him when he announces his candida­cy
for governor in 1994.

SGA and EAO and plans to work with them on future projects.
"We just wanted to work with the EAO on some projects this
year because I'm sure that you know that the relations between
EAO and SGA weren't that great last year," she said. "We just
decided that we were going to work on some things together.
"During Environmental Awareness Week, we're also going to
do a cleanup, probably at Chewacla, and EAO is going to help us
out with that."
Stinson said her group will provide publicity before the event
and hopes to bring about 20 volunteers the day of the cleanup.
Both Walls and Stinson said after the cleanup their groups will
determine if trash receptacles can be placed at Drunk Creek to
avoid more littering.
Those interested in volunteering for the cleanup should go to
the Eagle's Cage at noon on Aug. 7. Volunteers will carpool to
Loachapoka.
Glance Back
5 years ago this week: Plans were set for the construction of three new dormitory buildings on the hill behind the
band practice field, along with an extension of Duncan Drive to access Donahue Drive. The cost of the new
buildings was estimated to be about $8.8 million, but the project was never completed.
10 years ago this week: The University senate passed a resolution calling for the election of a new vice chairman
of the Board of Trustees, one that showed "the type of leadership needed on the Board. Trustee Frank Samford
sent a reply to the senate, saying the resolution was "uncalled for and presumptuous."
15 years ago this week: The SGA senate voted to publish a teacher evaluation handbook, which would include the
results from quarterly teacher evaluations. Results of the evaluations were previously used only within
departments for tenure and hiring purposes.

BREAKING THE CYCLE
Lee-SCAN gives help to teen parents,
hope for next generation of Alabamians
I n 1987, 17.4 percent of live births in
Alabama were to teenage mothers.
Many of these young parents come
from abused or impoverished backgrounds,
a sad legacy that statistics show is likely to
be passed on to their own children unless
something is done to change their situation.
Locally, the much needed intervention
comes in the form of Lee-SCAN, which
provides housing for homeless and abused
teenage mothers and their children.
The program provides a warm and
supportive environment for the young
parents.
But even more importantly, it gives them
training in parenting skills that can keep
their past abuse from becoming their
children's inheritance. But the organization
that makes a difference in these young lives
is in need of your help.
One of their homes, Geneva House, is in
need of more than $60,000 in repairs and
furniture. Donations of money and time will
help Lee-SCAN to continue it's work that is
so important to the next generation and the
future of Alabama.
Too MUCH TELE-HYPE
Editorial commercials mislead consumers,
regulations will encourage competition
As part of the Cable Television Re-regulation
Act of 1992, local
network affiliates will now be able
to charge cable companies for the
right to carry their signals.
In response, Telecable has begun airing
emotionally charged editorial commercials
telling its customers they are being
discriminated against because they will be
charged for something non-cable customers
receive for free.
But the commercial does not say the
price increase is not passed on to the
consumer unless the cable company chooses
to do so.
Nor does it say that cable customers are
not automatically being charged for
something others receive for free.
Customers still receive network television,
they just have to unplug their cable to view
it.
The commercial also doesn't say the
purpose of the regulation package is to
encourage competition among cable
providers in a way that would ultimately
benefit the consumer by increasing service
or lowering prices.
It should come as no surprise that the
only ones complaining about these anti­trust
regulations are the very monopolies
whose power the laws seek to decrease.
But the regulation is not an attempt to
punish the cable subscriber and should not
be presented as such.
ANIMAL RESPONSIBILITY
Humane Society must euthanize hundreds
of animals monthly because of overpopulation
You let your cat roam through the
neighborhood. You want to have it
fixed, but there never seems to be
enough money left over at the end of the
month to pay for it.
A student is flying home for the quarter
break. Unable to take his dog home, he
leaves some food out and leaves his pet to
fend for itself for the rest of the week.
Such instances of animal abuse are
occurring too often in the Auburn area.
It is true that animals can provide their
owner with unlimited love and
entertainment.
But while it is fun to own a pet, animals
are not toys.
They are responsibilities and should be
treated as such.
Animal shelters are overwhelmed with
unwanted animals, and are doing the best
job thet can under difficult circumstances.
During littering season, the Lee County
Humane Society is forced to euthanize as
many as 160 animals in a single week.
Before purchasing a pet, consider the
financial, time and personal commitment
that is involved with being responsible for
another living creature for the next seven to
12 years.
If you already own an animal, please
have it spayed or neutered to keep more
unwnted animals from entering the world
and adding to the problem.
Some people use the excuse that the
procedure is "too expensive" or
"inhumane" to have done to their animals.
But overpopulation is not humane either,
and the expense of it is paid by the
hundreds of unwanted animals produced
from such negligence.
Government can't solve all problems
Education is the key to everything, they
tell us.
We are an enlightened society, yes? We
are a civilized people, correct? Of course we
are because we understand the importance
of educating our youth and expanding their
horizons. Well, just look at our progress!
Yes. Let's look at our educated,
unbelievable, pathetic progress.
Since 1960, we have increased spending
on educational programs by 225 percent.
And since 1960, the FBI reports a 560
percent increase in violent crime. The
National Center for Health Statistics shows
a 419 percent increase in illegitimate births
and the the College Board indicates a drop
of 80 points in SAT scores.
But what happens when we bundle up all
these ugly little facts and send them to
Washington? Our legislators and appointed
leaders send down one very pat, very
expensive answer: more education.
As the devastated streets of Los Angeles
still smoldered from the riots one year ago,
our answer was not to publicly reprimand
the idiots who had trashed their own city,
but to funnel millions of federal dollars into
not only rebuilding the city for them, but
setting up bogus "multicultural" classes to
teach people how to get along.
And during the past five years a
nationally concentrated (and funded) effort
has gone into teaching our youth how to
prevent AIDS and unwanted pregnancies.
The campaign cry has been "Safe sex!"
and the mascot has been the savior condom.
Seeing an additional rise in AIDS and
unwanted pregnancies, our federal answer
has again been more education and more
Jan
Clifford
// Too often we have relied on
schools and civic associations
to fill in the gaps left by a
society all but void of any
value system."
free dispersals of condoms.
On the rare occasion that some
masochistic conservative dares to suggest
we teach abstinence as the primary
preventative method, guffaws and
snickering precede the standard comments
like, "Quit shoving your morals down my
throat," and the brilliant rationalization,
"Abstinence is unrealistic."
Here's a bit of realism for you: AIDS kills,
unwanted pregnancies destroy the lives of
millions of young women every year and
the only reliable way to protect ourselves is
via abstinence.
The point is that if we are going to
continue to sanctimoniously refer to
ourselves as educators, then let's tell the
whole truth.
Our nation has some immense problems,
none of which can or will ever be remedied
by the general response of federally-funded,
amoral, educational programs.
Yes, education plays an integral part in
producing cultured citizens. It does so by
engaging in the development of the
character of the soul spawned initially by a
sense of responsibility for ourselves.
Too often we have relied on schools and
civic associations to fill in the gaps left by a
society all but void of any value system. I
understand the need for pluralism. After all,
we are a nation built on rugged
individualism.
But our tenacious grip on individualism
has given way to self-expression above self-control
at the expense of self-preservation.
Trying to teach the masses everything as
we have tried to do in the last 30 years
hasn't made us smarter. Rather, our
growing social dilemmas only serve to
highlight that such an immense undertaking*
by a government adherent to no morality of
its own is a complete farce.
For 30 years we have gradually given in
to a sad laziness whjch has stripped away
the ideal of excellence and'replaced it with a
contentment for mediocrity.
Please, let's stop looking to mother
government to cure us of all our ills. If we
do not, the result will be an incredible
rationalization and an unbelievable cop out r
from which all the education in the world
won't save us.

Exchange program fosters friendship
Ever since summer quarter began, all I
have heard from my two friends at Dobbs
Hall, Geoff and Chad, is that some Japanese
students were coming to Auburn to learn
English. I had no idea that I would become
a part of their experiences here, as well as
be affected by them as much as I have.
Last week, I went to a party hosted by the
Japanese students to do a story about their
arrival from Nihon University in Tokyo. I
hoped learn why they are so eager to be
here to learn English.
Upon entering the party at Dobbs Hall, I
saw many Japanese and Americans talking
and eating and, most of all, having fun.
As I mingled with the students, plates of
food were passed around. I am by far an
Italian food fan, not Japanese. But I was
surprised at how different Japanese food
originating from Japan tasted than from the
American version of it. Pickled plums have
now been added to my list of favorite foods.
I learned much more about the Japanese
than just their customs or their food. I
learned more about them as individuals.
News flash - they are just like us. They like
to go on dates, listen to good music, and
watch movies and television, which
translates to fun no matter where you are
from.
At the party, I learned that several of the
Japanese girls had paired with American
girls, but only a few of the boys had
Americans to hang out with.
So, me being eager to help, I instantly
offered my services. I originally thought
that I would spend a few extra hours of my
week in helping a couple of Japanese guys
get to know America a bit better. The plan
was to show them around Auburn and
introduce them to some local customs that
they may not learn in a structured class.
I was to choose two boys who would
enjoy a personal Southern touch to their
trip, and who would not mind having to
leave the others in their group. (I was told
that the Japanese students do not like to be
separated, because they feel sorry for those
who have to miss out.)
I chose the Japanese guy that I had found
Thomas
Moore
to be the most outgoing, Takashi
Nakamura. He was so eager to talk with me
and tell me about his homeland as well as
ask me about mine. Takashi then asked if
his friend, Tadashi Nirei, could join us on
our weekly excursions, to which I gladly
obliged.
Our first night out consisted of going to
the free movie, then on to a local party, and
finally a stop off at my home.
At first, our start was a bit bumpy,
especially with my ignorance in constantly
mispronouncing their names when
introducing them to some of my friends.
But soon things started flowing smoothly,
partly due to us discovering that all three of
our birthdays are within a two week period
of each other this month.
That first night turned out to be one of
the best times that I have had here in
Auburn.
I found out so much about Takashi and
Tadashi as real people, not just as Japanese.
Takashi loves techno and rave music just as
much as I do. Tadashi gets cravings for
great tasting pizzas and pasta to rival that
of my great food list.
We sat up in my den talking into the wee
hours of the night discussing everything
from music, to cars, movies, clothes, our
families, and girls. You know, typical guy
talk.
With me being a Southerner, I am not a
stranger to hearing others (mostly adults)
make racially hateful remarks about
everyone who is remotely different from
what is considered the "norm."
When I asked Takashi and Tadashi if
they have experienced any ignorant
remarks by some closed minded Americans,
they said "No," but they, too, have heard
bad things about other individuals from
their elders as well.
But, as we all agreed, times are changing,
and hopefully someday soon there will not
be a place for racism in any form in our
societies. •
Maybe if more exchanges like this were
made, we may not have so much hatred or
war in our lifetime.
After our chat, Takashi and Tadashi
began to represent something new in my
mind. They were not just some guests of
America that I was hanging out with to*
show them a good time, but they were
becoming my friends as well.
When the next couple of days rolled
around, I found myself becoming excited
about seeing them on campus.
Simple things, such as lunch in War Eagle
Cafeteria, became chances for discussion*
about all kinds of things, with my favorite
being me learning to count to 10 in
Japanese. ,
I will have to depart my new found
friends when this quarter ends. I can
already tell that I am going to miss them,
and I will eagerly await another visit from*
them if they ever get to return.Who knows,
maybe I will get to visit them in their
motherland of Japan. ,
The important thing to remember is not
that we all went out and had a great time,
but that we learned something from each
other that a book cannot teach you, a lesson*
that only friends give to friends. We
learned that friendship knows no color or
race, no language barrier or distance oft
place, that friendship is universal and it can
touch anyone at the most unexpected
moments.
I hope that when Takashi and Tadashi*
leave America, they will remember me,
their new American friend, and smile.
I know that is how I will remember^
them.

Parents help through trials of youth, love blue-haired daughter
There has been a time in everyone's life
when they thought they no longer needed
their parents. I think this idea comes about
at age 15. While teenagers may think their
parents are only trying to ruin their lives,
mother and father do know best.
At one time in my life, I, too, thought I no
longer needed the advice of my parents.
Soon, I came to realize they knew the ropes
of life better than anyone.
Over the years, I have come to appreciate
my parents and the many sacrifices they
have made in order for me to have a better
life.
When I was a little girl, my mother carted
me anywhere I needed or wanted to go. She
worked as a dental assistant, but most of
her time off was spent doing things for me.
I played recreational basketball and was a
football cheerleader, and my mom never
failecfrto take me to prince or come to a
game.
Likewise, my father was also there,
solemn and grim. Even though he
pretended to be bored, I knew he was proud
and enjoying himself.
I always loved looking into the stands
and seeing my parents' loving faces peering
down at their only daughter.
When I entered high school, it was a big
change for me.
Nevertheless, my mom had become my best
friend and she helped me through all the
trials and tribulations a young lady faces.
She knew how much a heartbreak could
hurt and how difficult it was to be accepted
for who I was, not by what I wore or how
much money I had.
Most teenagers think they no longer need
their parental unit once they reach high
school. They are searching for themselves
and coming up \fath a new identity. They
Lea
Keel
are determined not to be like their parents
so they take an entirely different route of
life.
When found, this identity may not be
what their parents expected, but for the
most part, I think parents are supportive.
They understand it's just a phase and,
hopefully, the teenager will grow out of it.
At least in my case, this was true.
When I became involved in theatre in
high schoCfl, I began searching for my own
identity. I was determined to be different,
no matter what lengths I had to go to
achieve this goal.
Although my dad (and my brothers)
would give me strange looks at the dinner
table when my hair was blue, he and my
mom stood by me and encouraged me to
stand out in a crowd.
Now, my parents are putting me through
college. They provide all the expenses I
need to live, including apartment rent.
This is a large sacrifice in itself.
Sometimes, things that are wanted are
sacrificed because there is no extra money
after my tuition and living expenses.
I know I did not turn out exactly as my
parents thought I would or wanted me to.
When they looked down at the little baby
they held in their arms just hours after birth,
I'm sure they never thought I would turn
out to be a Grateful Dead-lovin' hippie.
Mom always wanted me to dress up and t
look like a lady, and dad wanted me to stay
his innocent little girl. Looking at my
parents, you would never suspect I am their
daughter. They are moderately conservative*
and old-fashioned.
But I am proud to say they are my
parents. They have instilled the values and
morals it takes to become an adult in this !
cruel and tempting world.
Most people, no matter what age, don't \
appreciate their parents until it's too late.
I have come to understand the difficulties'
and sacrifices a couple makes when they
have children. •<»
Being young is hard enough, but it would
be even harder if you didn't have parents
who understood and cared about you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Increased funding won't help Alabama education system
Editor, The Plainsman:
Diogenes, the Greek Cynic
philosopher, wandered through the
darkness with a lighted lamp in
search of Truth. It^js time for us to
search for truth in public education.
We, the taxpaying public, are con­stantly
bombarded by the education
•establishment that more taxes will
^olve the problems of education in
Alabama. This is not true!
In Alabama only 44 percent of
eighth-graders met the basic profi­ciency
standards in the 1992 mathe­matics
test of the National Associa­tion
of Educational Progress. In
Idaho, 73 percent met the standard;
in Utah, 72 percent.
Is the difference money? Not true!
Alabama spent $3,197 per year per
student compared to Idaho's expen­diture
of $2,838 and Utah's $2,579.
Could it be t he pupil/teacher
ratio? Again, not true! In Alabama
the pupil/teacher ratio was 18.1 to
1. In Idaho it was 20.1 and in Utah,
24.8.
Do these two states pay their
teachers more? No! Alabama's aver­age
teacher salary was $25,500;
Idaho, $23,494; Utah, $23,653.
The state of North Dakota had the
highest percentage of pupils meet­ing
the basic math standard, 82 per­cent.
North Dakota spends on aver­age
$3,952 per student, but the aver­age
teacher's salary is the lowest
reported, $20,016.
It is true that most states exceed
Alabama in meeting the math stan­dard,
teacher salaries and expendi­ture
per student. However, there
appears to be no correlation
between expenditures and perfor­mance.
There must be another major
factor which has not yet been dis­covered
(this I doubt) or is not being
discussed.
We have a number of distin­guished
educational professionals in
this state.
Perhaps one of them would put
the cry for more money on the back
burner and respond.
I, and probably most of your
readers, would like to know - why
the difference in achievement
between Alabama, Idaho and Utah?
Let the lamp of Diogenes find
Truth in Alabama.

State property owners control
right to free speech on campus
Foreign aid
wisely spent
Editor, The Plainsman:
•; O.G. Burkart, M.D., brings out
some interesting points in his July
15 letter concerning foreign aid
("U.S. deserves federal funds more
than Russia, Israel"). What Dr.
Burkart fails to point out and what
most Americans do not understand
js that foreign aid represents less
than 1 percent of the U.S. budget
and only 0.24 percent of the gross
national product.
-. Almost 73 percent of foreign aid
is actually spent in the U.S. and, in
Israel's case, 85 percent is spent in
the U.S. Foreign aid programs also
help to increase U.S. exports by
helping to stabilize the economies
of foreign aid recipients, promoting
market economies (as in Russia's
case), and breaking down trade bar­riers.
If you want to see a world more
destabilized than it already is and
more American farmers and labor­ers
in the unemployment line, then
go ahead and cut foreign aid. From
my point of view, however, foreign
aid appears to be a small price to
pay for a large return.

Plainsman should give only unbiased reviews
Editor, The Plainsman:
After reading the article by
Catherine Roberts and Lea Keel
entitled "Duran Duran Comes
Undone in Atlanta" Quly 29), I am
appalled. A journalist should write
a review in an unbiased manner,
and the article by these so-called
"journalists" was obviously their
personal opinion and did not quali­fy
as a review. If they were not able
to present an unbiased opinion of a
group they admittedly did not like,
The Plainsman should have sent
someone who could. (At least Ms.
Keel had the sense to acknowledge
"we're not qualified to critique.")
Ms. Roberts' comments on "see­ing
all of those slutty Duranies" was
particularly inappropriate and prej­udiced.
I attended the concert and
do not appreciate being called a
slutty Duranie. I attended the con­cert
with my husband, and I
dressed and behaved in a manner
appropriate for a rock concert. As
for chanting "Simon!," it is com­monplace
for fans to yell for the
band members, and doing this does
not make one "a total ass."
In another fan-bashing anecdote,
Ms. Roberts commented on the 50-
year-old woman "reliving the good
ol' days." Ms. Roberts is in dire
need of a dose of reality. It is highly
improbable that a 50-year-old
would be a college-aged student's
grandmother, and as Ms. Roberts
matures she will see that 50 is not
too old to enjoy music, dancing,
and, yes, rock concerts. (For the
record, I am 22 years old.)
Your distraction with the props
and the back-up singers' wardrobe
makes me wonder how youcould
pay attention to the music.
In closing, only journalists with a
open mind should review a concert,
movie, album, or book. Ms. Roberts
and Ms. Keel should have stayed
home with their close-minded opin­ions.

Reviewers deserve 'slap upside the head
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am coming to the defense of
Duran Duran and good journalism.
After the hate-filled review of their
recent concert in Atlanta ("Duran
Duran comes undone in Atlanta,"
July 29), your readers deserve to
hear a unbiased account of the
show. My husband and I attended.
In our opinion, it was one of the
best concerts we had ever seen.
Following in the tradition of U2's
(who in the opinion of the critics are
not "real musicians" because they
use props) Zoo TV tour, Duran
Duran hit the stage and gave an
exciting performance which every­one
seemed to enjoy. The stage itself
reflected the band's personality
My husband and I felt that the
critics "needed a slap upside the
head for the way they behaved" at
the concert. They wonder why
Duran Duran was "rude" to them.
Maybe it was because the critics
were backstage remarking aloud,
"we don't want to be here, we have
to be here."
It was obvious to us that the two
critics were too embarrassed to
admit that they had a good time and
thought it would be cute and funny
to write a review "slamming" the
whole event. Granted, they are enti­tled
to their own opinions, but judg­ing
something mainly on its appear­ance
instead of getting the whole
story just isn't good journalism.
G. K. Davis
Class of '92
Editor, The Plainsman:
In Ms. Kim Chandler's editorial,
"Freedom of Speech includes Lim-baugh,"
that appeared in the Plains­man
on July 29, she expressed a
very utilitarian view on freedom of
speech. She forgot a vital element in
the matter of students expressing
ideas: property rights.
Now, the University belongs to
the state and the people who the
state taxes. The Board of Trusteesis
appointed to control the property in
a manner the state and the citizens
of Alabama approve.
Note, the federal government has
nothing to do with this, nor should
it. The owners of the University can
dictate to the students and other
persons what they can and cannot
say while on their property.
I know that a person's right to
property is absolute, as is a person's
right to life. All other rights revolve
around the right to life and proper­ty,
including the right to speech.

Graddick back in the limelight
by Robert Morris
Staff Writer
Charlie Graddick, former
Alabama attorney general and a
possible candidate for lieutenant
governor in 1994, expressed his
views Thursday about running for
office after a seven-year absence
from politics.
Speaking to the Lee County
Republican Club, Graddick said
candidates today are faced with the
same problems that existed when he
was elected attorney general.
"In 1978 when I ran (for attorney
general), the issues then were drugs
and crime and 'Are we safe in our
homes and our schools?'" Graddick
recalled. "'Are we providing
enough quality jobs for our children
and the people who want to work in
Alabama?' 'Do we have at least an
average or better educational
system?'"
- In 1982, when Graddick ran for
re-election and when he ran for
governor in 1986, he said these same
questions were being asked of the
candidates.
"And in 1994, the candidates are
still talking about the same thing,"
he said.
Graddick said today it is
important to make politicians stick
to the issues.
"If we have an opportunity, we
need to pin candidates down and
find out if they are willing to take a
tough stand and protect our
Charlie Graddick
schoolchildren, protect our homes
and our streets," he said.
Graddick said problems in the
education system stem from drugs
and crime and these problems must
be solved before teachers can
effectively do their jobs.
'Teachers are not going to teach
our students, and students are not
going to adequately learn, when
they have to walk through a metal
detector and go into a classroom
and have drug-sniffing dogs
running up and down the
hallways," he said.
"Something is wrong in Alabama
when we have to address those
serious problems and not whether
or not a teacher, who is capable, can
instill the intellect into our
children," Graddick said.
Graddick continued by stressing
the importance of a two-term limit
for state legislators.
"Why should we treat the
legislature any differently than
other public offices?" he said.
The two-term limit would not
allow the legislators to rely on their
legislating position and might force
them to work harder for voters
knowing their years in office are
limited, he said.
Graddick said that although he
knows there are people in the
legislature who do a great job, they
have certain obstacles to overcome.
"They can't overcome the
disruption, the lack of integrity and
the mindless wandering around of
people down there who are doing
nothing but being greedy and self-serving,"
he said.
"If we could put the legislature on
television like C-SPAN, this state
would revolt," he said.
Graddick said that if he is elected
as lieutenant governor, he plans to
provide Alabamians with a
conservative and progressive leader
as the presiding officer in the state
Senate.
Drink fluids to beat the summer heat
Is it hot or what!
Air conditioners and fans
alleviate ambient temperatures, but
what about your internal
thermostat? The key to dissipating
body heat is hydration, and the
fluid of choice is cool water.
Plain water is recommended
because it contains no
carbohydrates (sugars).
Bypassing the digestive system, it
is immediately available to the
bloodstream for fluid replacement.
Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages
are not recommended since both
work as diuretics, further depleting
body fluids.
Normally, adults need six to eight
cups of water per day to
compensate for fluids lost through
evaporation and elimination. With
heat indexes exceeding 105, you
may need additional water.
On days like these, drink two or
three glasses before working out or
HEALTH
NOTES
performing manual labor. That is,
before you feel thirsty.
Thirst is not always a reliable
indicator, particularly for active
adults, young children and older
people. Thirst is registered in the
brain when sodium concentration in
the bloodstream is high. This
mechanism can be delayed during
strenuous exercise.
Even in sweltering temperatures,
a well-hydrated person should have
enough fluid to perspire and still
make frequent trips to the
bathroom. If urination is infrequent
or dark in color, simple, cool water
is needed.

City council
approves
bike trail
by Aimee Peak
Staff Writer
How many miles is it from
campus to Chewacla? If you don't
know, soon you can hop on your
bike and safely ride out there to
find out.
At its meeting Tuesday night,
the Auburn City Council
approved an agreement with the
Alabama Highway Department
for a bike concourse stretching
from campus to Chewacla State
Park.
The bike trail will start on
Donahue Drive, go down East
University Drive, out Wright's
Mill Road, and then to the park,
City Manager Doug Watson said.
A plan for the trail has not been
drawn up yet, and that will take a
few months. Construction will
begin shortly after the plans are
ready. 'The project will be under
way this next fiscal year," Watson
said.
The city began looking at the
proposal for two reasons, he said.
First, the issue of bike safety
has been brought before the
Council several times. Also, in
1992 Congress passed a highway
act that gave grants to cities that
offered "alternative forms of
transportation," Watson said.
Auburn applied for a grant, and
this gave the city some of the
funds for this project.
The trail would actually be an
asphalt sidewalk along the road
to "encourage biking but not
conflict with traffic," Watson
said.
"It should be really nice for
students who want to go to
Chewacla," he added.
Plans are also in the works for
another trail going from
downtown out to Chewacla, but
that will not begin until after
work on the first trail has begun.
The city is also working with the
Highway Department on a bike
trail for Wire Road.

THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN Thursday, August 5, 1993 PAGE A-7
by Thomas Moore
Staff Writer
A program between Tokyo and
Auburn is showing everyone
involved that the cultural barriers
between the two cities are only skin
deep.
Eighteen Japanese students from
Nihon University are studying
English in a six-week program.
They will not only concentrate on a
better understanding of English, but
also on American customs.
The students, who live in Dobbs
Hall, hope that by living with
American students, their English
skills will become stronger.
Dobbs resident Chad Blystone,
02MRB, said the living
arrangements are "a great exchange
of cultures."
He said he hopes to learn more
about the Japanese people through
the students. He said he has already
learned "the differences are not so
great."
Dobbs resident assistant Mike
Morgan, 04MDT, has found the
exchange between the two
universities to be "a real learning
experience."
"I think it promotes a lot of
understanding on both sides," he
said. "There aren't as many
misconceptions."
Each day is jam-packed with
activities after the students finish
with their classes.
The students have taken trips to
Montgomery for the Alabama
Shakespeare Festival's showing of
As You Like It, to Callaway Gardens
in Pine Mountain, Ga., and to
Auburn's Chewacla State Park.
Ruth Schowalter, academic
JASON SMITH/PUInsmwi Staff
Japanese students are learning American customs as
well as English in the six-week program.
director for the program, is one of
the people who helped to make the
students' trip a reality.
Schowalter picked out the
textbooks, made up the syllabus
and recruited the teachers for the
academic portion of the program.
"I was given a schedule that
begins in the morning at 6:45 and
ends at 10 at night. When I was
given the schedule, I was asked to
make it a reality, with people and
events," she said.
Schowalter said she has had a lot
of help in getting things started.
"The people here at Dobbs,
(Dobbs' hall director) Mrs. Sexton ,
as well as the housing people, Becky
Bell and Kim Trupp, they have all
helped to make this a reality," she
said.
Schowalter said the program is
the brainchild of the husband and
wife team of Junichiro and Shigeko
Fukai, who are both University
employees.
Shigeko Fukai, a scientist for the
Center of International Commerce,
along with another University
employee, William Bolton, enlisted
five faculty members, including
Schowalter, from Georgia State
University.
The five faculty members have
the task of setting up an applied
linguistics department and an
"English as a second language
program" at Auburn.
Schowalter said the Japanese
students were selected from Nihon
University because of the sister
relationship the two universities
share.
Schowalter credits Auburn's
eagerness to help out the students
as the reason this program is a
success.
"Everybody here has been great,"
she said.
"American people are so
friendly," said Sachiko Sato, one of
the Japanese students.
Sato said she has enjoyed her stay
in Auburn so far, and that there are
so many great things about America
that she cannot choose her favorite.
Another Japanese student,
Tomomi Yamaguchi, said her trip
will be memorable due to the
friendliness of the Americans that
she has met.
Takashi Nakamura said his visit
to America has been "very
interesting," including the food
which he has found to be "salty but
good."
Tadashi Nirei agreed, saying he
loves American food, especially
pasta.
One of the biggest differences
between America and Japan that
Takahino Nakanishi has discovered
is the prices of goods.
"In Japan we can only eat so
much (because it is so expensive),"
Nakanishi said.
Even though there are American
restaurants such as McDonald's and
Pizza Hut in Japan, Nakanishi said
the restaurants are still different.
Mainly, he said, American
restaurants offer larger portions for
a lower price.
The Japanese students say they
are eager to learn as much about
Americans and their ways as they
can.
"I want to know what Americans
think about everything," Nakanishi
said.

Opinion poll shows students' thoughts
by Billy McKnight
Staff Writer
How do the students of Auburn rate the
Drake Student Health Center?
On July 28 many students were given the
opportunity to answer that question and several
others in an SGA opinion poll.
The poll was organized by Russ Beasley, SGA
director of health and safety, and conducted by
Winston Tucker, SGA director of student
opinion, in order to get a general idea of how
students feel about the University's student
health center.
Of the 10,103 students enrolled in school this
summer, 351 of them participated in the poll.
"It may not seem like it, but that figure was a
representative amount of the student population
for the purpose of the survey," Tucker said.
"Also, the poll was optional, so the results reflect
only those students who actually participated.
Unfortunately, it does not represent the
University as a whole."
According to the poll results, 33 percent of the
students surveyed have no confidence in the
staff at Drake and 38 percent are unsure.
Furthermore, the poll states that 49 percent of
those students are not aware of the services
which Drake provides.
However, 38 percent rate the services as
"fair," and 4 percent of those polled rate the
services as "excellent."
SGA gets first student representative
appointed to scheduling committee
by Shannon Brooks
Staff Writer
Students may soon have
more say on Auburn's campus
thanks to a new student
member of the calendar and
schedules committee.
SGA President Pat Brown
said at Monday's meeting that
he has gotten permission to
appoint the first student to
serve on the committee. He
has not yet chosen a student
for the job but said it should
not be long.
Brown said he is excited
about this news.
"In a university of 22,000
students 6ne voice was not too
much to ask, (and) they
agreed," he said.
The first job of the new
student appointee will be to
work on getting fall quarter
moved up next year.
In other business, the SGA
passed a resolution
commending the appointment
of Paul Parks to the position of
provost.
"Dr. Parks, is extremely
student-: oriented; I
congratulate him on his ,
appointment, and I am
looking forward to working
with him this year," Martin
said.
The senate also announced
trfat the new parking lot for
the hill dorms should be
finished by September. It will
be a dirt parking lot and
should increase C-zone
parking for hill residents.
The SGA is anxious for the
lot to be completed because of
the great need for the extra
parking, Martin said.
"Students really want this
parking lot, and we will really
need it come rush/' Martin
said.
The majority of students polled rated the
center's performance as either "fair" or "good."
According to Tucker, the primary reason for
the survey was to learn "the public's knowledge
of Drake" and to "inform Drake of what they
need to know about their patients in order to
improve their services."
Stations for this poll were set up at Parker
Hall, Foy Union, the new business building,
Haley Center and Broun Hall from 9 a.m. until
noon.
The coordinators said they felt spreading
tables out over campus would provide a larger
turnout than the usual one table on the Haley
Center concourse.

Summer enrollment
slightly below average
by Jennifer Acevedo
News Editor
The slight drop in summer
enrollment can be attributed to
reasons ranging from the state of
the economy to an increase in
tuition, two University officials said.
Figures released by the
Registrar's Office show enrollment
is down about 75 students from
1992. Last year 10,178 students
attended summer school while this
year 10,103 were enrolled.
"If there are any reasons, they're
probably not large ones," Registrar
John Fletcher said. "I can't say it's
the economy without a doubt,
maybe the increase in fees. I
attribute it to many things other
than one large thing."
Charles Reeder, University
director of admissions, agreed with
Fletcher's reasoning. He said the
drop in enrollment is indicative of a
trend apparent in schools around
the state.
"The number of high school
graduates in Alabama is declining,"
he said. "That's going to be true
pretty much for the rest of the
decade. There will be some ups and
downs, but really the number of
high school graduates is going to
decline within the state."
Reeder said the University plans
to step up its recruitment efforts but
said the slight drop is not
something he is alarmed about.
"One of the first things generally
you do is call others and say,
'What's happening? Is it just us?
Are we doing something wrong or
is this happening everywhere?'", he
said. "A lot of schools are projected
to be down some. You don't want to
overreact either way."
Reeder also stressed that
enrollment figures reflect more than
just incoming freshmen.
"When you're talking about
enrollment you're not just looking
at new students here," he said.
"You're also talking about how
many you graduate, and we've had
some big graduating classes. When
that happens, it's harder to replace
that many people."

enrollment figures, figures show

minority enrollment is up about 5
percent this summer.
Reeder said he hopes this is the
result of both recruitment and
retention of minority students.
"We've worked hard to recruit all
students, but certainly minority
students," he said. "I would say it
reflects maybe some recruiting
success. Hopefully, it reflects
JENNIFER ACEVEDO/Plaliumui Staff
improvement in retention, too."
Reeder said the office of
admissions has begun working with
James Brown, the University's
assistant to the president for
minority recruitment, to continue
those efforts.
Reeder added that he anticipates
fall enrollment to be down due to
the same factors which affected
summer enrollment.

the cranb
everybody else is doing it,
,so why can't they?
by Catherine Roberts
Tempo Editor
The four members of the Ireland-
'based band The Cranberries
convinced the music world they
could do it when they formed three
, years ago.
•The
Cranberries'
album
proves
delightful.
Please see
B-3
And having
just completed a
h u g e l y
"successful six
week tour of the
United States,
. t h e y ' v e shown
that they are
doing it and
better than
' a l m o s t ^^^^~^^^^~~
everybody else.
Not only did its live shows
„.mesmerize audiences, but The
Cranberries' debut album everybody
else is doing it, so why can't we? has
shot into the Top 20 of the College
•Tvlusic Journal.
MTV has also realized the
potential musical explosion this
>band could cause. "Dreams," the
first single from The Cranberries,
was recently placed on their regular
rotation list.
' However, guitarist Noel Hogan
said the tremendous response his
band received in America surprised
,^him. In their homeland, it has taken
The Cranberries years to be taken
seriously by both Irish music lovers
and critics alike.
' "When we came over here we
thought that we'd be playing in
clubs to 20 or 30 people," he said.
"We thought it was going to be like
starting all over again because
America is so big."
Yet Hogan insists the fans on this
side of the Atlantic have been more
receptive to their music.
"They've been much more into it
over here, much more enthusiastic.
American audiences were more
acceptive straight away," he said.
In fact, each of the band's
performances during the six week
tour sold-out and the majority of the
people in attendance appeared to be
college age.
Hogan partially attributed this
younger fan base to the fact that the
oldest member of The Cranberries is
22-year-old drummer Feargal
Lawlor. He feels the tender age of
Lawlor, as well as himself, vocalist
Dolores CRiordan and bassist Mike
Hogan, enables them to connect
better with the fans.
CRiordan, who writes all of the
lyrics, began piecing together the
words for this album at the age of
17, which ensures a common bond
between the band and its listeners.
Many can relate to her message
about life since she writes lyrics
about common problems.
"It's usually things that have gone
on around her," said Hogan of the
lyrical inspiration behind everybody
else is doing it, so why can't we?.
The lyrics are not the only
creation from O'Riordan. She is also
partly responsible for the group's
catchy name, which came about
after she witnessed an
unentertaining performance by a
local band.
Hogan said, 'There's a lot of bad
bands that can get away with
anything, so we said if they can do
it, why can't we?"
So far, The Cranberries are
proving that it can get away with
anything and everything with its
intriguing yet indescribable musical
style.
"When we write the songs, we
don't ever want to be like anybody
else. I think it's just honest music,"
Hogan said.
Refusing to sell-out for
popularity, Hogan said they simply
compose songs they enjoy.
"What we play is what we
generally like. There are a lot of
bands around who start up and just
say straight away 'OK, we want to
be like this band and that band.' If
you say that, you're not actually a
band," he said.
Not only do the four members of
The Cranberries insist on

Behind the Glass gets face lift, adds bookstore
nby Lea Keel
Assistant Tempo Editor
Auburn's small taste of culture,
Behind The Class, has worked to
improve its surroundings so
students and residents can enjoy
•"quiet conversation over a cup of
cappuccino.
There are numerous reasons for
the renovations currently in
progress at Behind The Glass.
Work toward the new look began
immediately after spring quarter
graduation and it will be completed
approximately the third week in
September, owner Rod Popwell
.said.
The menu, along with many other
characteristics of the cafe, will be
expanded without too many
deletions, Popwell said. More salads
and pasta will be available and for
the first time the restaurant will be
.serving beef and tenderloin
sandwiches.
Popwell also said the delivery
system has proven much quicker
%nd he feels this will benefit not
only the customers but the
employees as well.
m However, employee Steven
Carroll said it's like working in a
completely new place.
"I could've gotten a job
eomewhere else and it would've
been the same effect," he said.
A bakery is another addition to
the restaurant.
Donna Popwell said, "We've
hired a baker, so now fresh baked
goods and more desserts will be
available."
"Before we brought in our
desserts, but now, we have our own
mi^sr, our own conventional oven,"
She added.
Each item in the cafe will be
priced independently instead of
being priced as a plate.
This should make the price go
down and create more side orders
available to mix with the
sandwiches.
The stairs were moved to the
front of the cafe because, as Carroll
said, "this change keeps the traffic
down and away from the food
counter."
The Behind the Glass boutique
will be moved to the space above
China King, increasing it's size by
200 to 300 feet.
A bookstore is going to be
included upstairs and it will contain
a vast array of books and
magazines.
'The public will enjoy it more,"
Popwell said. "We are going to have
a wide variety of magazines,
everything from Paris Vogue to
Village Voice. There will be
something here for everyone."
The bookstore will contain a few
literary materials approved through
Auburn's English department along
with sections on women's studies,
history and gay and lesbian issues.
The owners hope the general feel
of the cafe won't change.
Rod Popwell said, 'That's one of
the things we really had to be
careful with. The art is gonna be
here. I think the newness in some of
the equipment is gonna give a
different feel, though."
He said it's going to prove to be a
positive difference. "It will really
show up when we have the
bookstore and the cappuccino
machine."
The Popwells want Behind The
Glass to be a place for locals to hang
out. He sa^d, "A college town like
Auburn needs a cafe/bookstore like
ANNE ESTES/Plalnsman Staff
The owners of Behind The Glass hope to create an ambiance much like the culturally
sophisticated one already present and make the delivery of food more efficient. After
months of hard work, the renovations will be completed the third week in September.
this. It will be like a gathering
place."
He wants it to be a place to go
where one can have a conversation
over dinner or dessert, check out the
bookstore and even the sale on that
dress in the window.
The customers won't have to
worry about where to go next
because j^, will all be there in one
place. If
Becoming familiar with the new
equipment has been hectic for the
employees.
Employee Clay Clemmer said, "It
is going to take us a while to figure
out the new system, but things will
eventually run smoothly."
Originally, the renovations were
to be completed shortly after they
began, but some areas required
extensive work.
The original plan was to move to
the lot between Cheeburger
Cheeburger and Kaz Fitness Center.
However, Popwell said that
financial reasons caused the
family's previous ideas to be
thwarted.
He said the outside cafe on
College Street may come to life once
more funds become available.
Sororities
resemble
boot camp
Catherine
Roberts
"A sorority is a place where a
woman is accepted and loved for
who she is without asking her to
become someone she is not," said
Angela Newman, president of
Alpha Omicron Pi, as quoted in
the 1993 Glomerata.
She even went as far as to call
sorority life, at least in AOPi, a
"family of sisters."
Don't get me wrong. The
members of AOPi might be as
close as a family of sisters, but
that statement doesn't ring true
for some sororities on campus.
And as a former pledge of
Alpha Chi Omega, I know that
truth all too well.
I seemed to do everything
wrong while a pledge. According
to the Alpha Chi control board, it
wasn't only my attire the other
sisters hated, they disapproved of
everything I did and/or wanted
to do.
I think I've come to a
conclusion as to why I was so out
of place. I failed to abide by their
every command.
When I transferred to Auburn
last summer, horses, not sorority
life, were my main focus. It
wasn't until the sudden death of
my newly acquired
thoroughbred,
Yakahickamickadola, that I
decided to retrieve my brochure
on sorority rush from beneath the
depths of junk piled high in my
room.
I was determined to fore go all
of the vicious rumors I had
previously heard about
sisterhood, ignore my friends'
shocked stares, and try my hand
at life as a greek.
However, now I realize that I
should have listened to Troy (for
once he was right), who is an
inactive Kappa Sigma brother at
Jacksonville State. He warned me
against it and said, almost in
these exact words, "Don't do it.
It's not worth it, and I wouldn't
do it again if I had another
chance."
Anyway, the real reason I am
writing this is in hopes that I may
be able to salvage one person's
dignity as well as his or her
parents' checking account.
Any freshmen thinking about
rushing this fall, keep in mind
that even though pledging a
greek organization is a way to
make new friends, the true
friendships that make college
enjoyable are those not in a
sorority or fraternity.
Why should anyone throw
away thousands of dollars just to
be able to wear some foreign
letters on their sweatshirt?
However, if you enjoy
conforming to stupid rules (yes,
Ann Henry, I'm badmouthing
sorority rules and this time lots of
people are reading about it), such
as having to put your beer in a
plastic cup before you drink it,
then greek life is for you.
Drinking is what most greeks
are known for, isn't it? They
argue that it's unladylike to drink
out of a beer can, but isn't
drinking at all (and then lying
about it) discouraged for women?
Once you start stumbling and
slurring your words, those

The Cranberries' debut
proves unforgettable
The instant the first note of The
Cranberies' debut began, I found
myself mesmerized by its purity
and honesty.
And each time I hear everybody
else is doing it, so why can't we?, I
gain a renewed fondness for both
this group and its first creation.
The mellow mood set throughout
reminds me of a mixture of The
Sundays, Sinead O'Connor and a
more light-hearted 10,000 Maniacs.
The dreamy vocals of Dolores
O'Riordan invite me to sing along
and loose myself in her rich Irish
voice.
Each song is a true work of art.
The piece entitled "Not Sorry" is
a perfect example as she almost
whispers during certain lines.
"Waltzing Back," however,
stretches O'Riordan's vocal range as
she does her best impression of
Bjork from The Sugarcubes.
Yet, my favorite track on this 12
song recording has to be "Linger."
The peaceful nature of O'Riordan's
voice mixed with such a gentle beat
proves a brilliant combination.
But it gets right back into an
upbeat, alternative dance groove
with "Wanted."
Though overwhelmed by
O'Riordan's talent, the three men
who comprise the masterful tempo
are not to be taken lightly. They set
the foundation for a band that could
possibly become legendary.
The guitar, bass and drums work
together as one, creating a sound
guaranteed to mystify all lucky
enough to hear it.
This band is a welcome addition
to the music scene. The vocal efforts
on everybody is doing it, so why can't
we? are romantic yet haunting, the
music energetic yet soothing.
Every musical genre is well
represented by The Cranberries and
its sound is one that should appeal
to all music lovers •
This album has it all. It is truly
an unforgettable masterpiece and a
shear joy presented by four equally
unforgettable young talents.

around you know that plastic cup
isn't full of apple juice anyway.
I simply refuse to let a group of
people I don't know tell me what
I can and can't do.
And I'm certainly not going to
pay them to say it.
As a colleague said recently, "Is
that a sorority or a boot camp?"
I will be the first to admit that I
did gain a few good
acquaintances, however, and that
some of the sisters were not only
enjoyable but friendly as well.
But none were worth the
stupidity I had to endure nor the
big bucks 1 wasted. Out of 150

would consider for possible
friendship.
My close friends, many former
sorority and fraternity members,
would never be so judgmental.
At least, they haven't led me to
believe that there is anything
wrong with me. Many of them
even praise my work and
compliment me as both a person
and a journalist.
As Newman said, they
appreciate me for who I am and
unlike my former sorority sisters
(if I can, or would want to, call
most of them that), they would
never tell me my appearance was
"not what they are looking for."

Elizabethan play
turns present-day
Happiness and love and how to
achieve each are the dominant
themes in "As You Like It," the
current play being presented at the
Alabama Shakespeare Festival in
Montgomery until Aug. 7.
The play, performed by the
Masters of Fine Arts Company, is a
comedy involving the family of the
banished Duke Senior, a clown and
assorted other country folk.
Aside from the country folk, the
family is hiding in the Forest of
Arden from the banished Duke's
brother and usurper, Duke
Frederick, who wishes them dead.
During their stay in the forest,
each character learns what they
need to be happy.
For some, all they need is the
tranquility of the forest. But for the
others, they need the luxuries of city
and court life - and a mate - for true
happiness.
"As You Like It" wasn't just
another classic Shakespearean play
with Elizabethan costumes and
props.
It was much more entertaining
and had a modern twist. The actors
wore contemporary costumes,
which were actually everyday
clothes, while the set consisted
merely of eight-foot poles stuck in
The ASF presents "As You Like It" through Aug. 7.
the floor and used as trees.
There was also intermittent
background music and
choreographed dance moves
creating an overall effect that was
FILE
amusing.
The star, Julie Walker, who
played Rosalind, the banished
Duke's daughter and love of
Orlando's life, played her part
convincingly enough.
However, Rosalind is in disguise
throughout most of the play as a
young shepherd boy, Ganymede.
Watching her/him act is true head-spinning
humor.
Orlando, played by Patrick Shea,
is an endearing character because of
his selflessness, loyalty and pure
love for Rosalind. It's heart
wrenching to watch him speak of
his love for her to Ganymede while
she is standing right before him.
The performance of Domenic
O'Neill as Silvius, a simple, love­sick
shepherd boy, is fantastic.
Kelly McShain was cast as the
supporting character, Celia.
Out of the entire cast, though, I
must say that Norbert Butz as
Touchstone, the clown, was my
favorite. His lines were quick and
witty, and his portrayal of
Shakespeare's fool was simply
hilarious. Some of his best moments
were with Audrey, his bride-to-be,
played by Cristina Vaccaro.
Their obvious lust for one another
is an example of the perversity you
can find in many of Shakespeare's
plays.
Overall, the play was
tremendously entertaining.
For a mere $8 and a 30-minute
drive, it is well worth it. You don't
have to like Shakespeare to enjoy
"As You Like It."

Decrease in morality
troubles freshman
Beginning winter quarter, there
will be a new way to register for
classes by phone. What do you
think of this plan?
"I think it will be good for some
people, especially those that live
far away. For me, I think it will be
better since I live so far away
(Florida)."
Do you recycle and push others to
follow your example?
"Not really, and to be honest, I
can't say that I recycle too much. If
someone put a recycling trash can
in front of me, then I would, but
otherwise, I'm not going to go out
of my way to recycle."
Why are you so apathetic about
recycling?
"It just seems there are too many
other things going on right now to
worry about. That's just my opin­ion,
of course. Other people have
their convictions, and I respect
that, but I'm just not like that.
What do you think the world will
be like if mandatory recycling
programs are not implemented?
"I think something major has got
to be done with that. First of all, the
president and the administration
has got to take the first step in
making out a plan. I think we are
going to be in a heap load of trou­ble
if we don't do something
quick."
Diseases of the heart can be pre­vented
with a proper diet and
exercise. Do you practice this pre­ventive
method?
"Yes, I don't want to die. My
grandfather had about 12 open-heart
surgeries, which was a result
of a lot of things - genetics, the
way he ate. So, I try to stay away
from fried foods and that kind of
stuff, like grease."
What do you consider to be the
major problem our world is facing
today?
"I think that one main problem
in the nation, and this is just my
opinion, and other people could
beg to differ, but morality is just
being shot down the tubes in a lot
of ways.
"We are getting far away from
what the basic American dream is.
"Morality and ethics are just
being washed away. I don't know
if it is because of the new adminis­tration,
but with time people's
morals get looser.
MATTHEW MCLEAN/ Plainsman SUIT
"With the gay rights issue and
all the other mess that is going on
... they stopped prayers in the
school ... we are going to get to
where kids can't tell between right
and wrong. We are just going to
have a bunch of criminals running
wild."

I Hate Parties
Big Fish Ensemble
Long Play
The Atlanta-based band Big Fish
Ensemble creates a sound similar to
both folk and country music on its
debut album J Hate Parties.
The members of Big Fish Ensem­ble
use a mix of acoustic guitar, vio­lin
and brass instruments. These
instruments, strangely enough,
work well together, creating a
sound which is reminiscent of
R.E.M. mixed with the Indigo Girls
and the Urban Cowboy Soundtrack.
The title track sets the tone for the
rest of the album. Its vocals have a
drug-induced mellowness which
remind me of the song 'Thorazine
Shuffle" by Bongos, Bass and Bob.
The guitar on "Animal" is similar
to songs by R.E.M. The guest vocals
provided by Amy Ray and Emily
Saliers of the Indigo Girls are a nice
addition to this song.
The lyrics written for / Hate Par­ties
are somewhat abstract. The
band's members seem to pull some
of their lyrics from out of their
respective butts.
But they use this to their advan­tage
in writing many of their out-of-the-
ordinary yet appealing songs.
The graphics used in the cover art
on the album are neat. It shows a
huge olive with a sword-shaped
hors d'oeuvre toothpick sticking
through it. The font used for the
title is Ren and Stimpy-esque and
fits the content of / Hate Parties quite
well.
Big Fish Ensemble's / Hate Parties
is a refreshing break from the usual
acoustic sound coming from
Atlanta, but still consists of the high
quality for which Atlanta is known.

Psycho Nite II: Musical Mad­ness
and More from Japan
Various Artists
Psycho Nite/Medius
Psycho Nite II is a compilation of
works by numerous Japanese
artists. The album features various
types of music ranging from disco
to thrash, and it is extremely odd.
The first band featured on Psycho
Nite II is Pizzicato Five. It reminded
me of an updated version of Gloria
Gaynor singing "I Will Survive" in
Japanese.
The next outstanding band on the
album is Boredoms, which plays
thrash music. It sounds as though
Boredoms started playing as a
result of the feelings that prompted
its name, rather than talent or a
desire for artistic expression.
The first track the band has on the
album is called "Molecicco." It
sounds like Sam Kinison screaming
over screeching guitar and Atari
video game noises. "Molecicco" is
an amusing song, but "Okinawa
Rasta Beef" takes the prize as the
most entertaining. The song starts
with snorting pigs and smacking
noises. I think the band's members
must have been gnawing on a big
hunk of "Okinawa Rasta Beef" just
for this song. The sounds created
from this indulgence were so dis­gusting,
I felt as though I should
vomit.
I am unfamiliar with the Japanese
music scene, but from the sounds of
Psycho Nite III don't know that I
want to subject mys
