Thieves
continue
to plague
University
by Garrett Youngblood
News Editor
Two Apple Macintosh computers
valued at 54,400 were
reported stolen from Duncan
Hall April 23 at approximately
12:22 a.m.
According to a police report,
the burglar gained entry to the
computer room by forcing open
the doors.
Captain Melvin Owens of the
University Police department
said security was not the problem.
"Its not a matter, really, of
tightening security. It's a matter
of making people aware of their
surroundings, to ensure that they
secure doors and make sure the
area is secure before leaving,"
Owens said.
The Friday break-in at Duncan
was the second such crime
in the past two months.
The first break-in was March
26 at the business building.
Police arrested and charged
Kwong Yeung Mak with receiving
stolen property worth about
$20,000.
According to a Lee County
Sheriffs department spokesperson,
Mak was released from the
Lee County Jail April, 15 on
$27,500 bail.
Owens said the University
appears to have a solid Class B
felony case against Mak. Had a
confession been obtained,
Owens said, a more severe
charge could have been brought
against him.
"It (receiving stolen property)
will be easier to prove because
his lawyer wouldn't let us talk to
him (Mak)," Owens said.
A charge of receiving stolen
property requires a lesser burden
of proof from the prosecuting
attorney and increases the
chance of a guilty conviction. If
convicted, Mak could face two
to 20 years in jail and a fine of
as much as $10,000.

Alcohol, marijuana
most commonly
used by students
by Danielle Lemleux
Staff Writer
Alcohol and marijuana are the substances
most used by Auburn students, with 74.5 percent
drinking beer, and 17.1 percent using marijuana,
according to a recent survey by the Drake Student
Health Center.
Patricia Ellis, R.N., Ed.D., associate director
of student health services and nursing & health
education, said nothing new or astounding was
revealed about the use of these substances by the
survey of 1,586 students.
The survey, assisted by the University Alcohol
Drug-Free Workplace Committee, was
administered to certain English and health and
human performance classes which represented
the student population.
More than half (51.3 percent) of males and
32.1 percent of females reported weekly beer
drinking. In all, 80.5 percent of males and 67.1
percent of females reported drinking beer in the
three months before the survey.
Hard liquor beverages followed, with 64 percent
of students reporting consumption and 13.9
percent drinking weekly. Two-thirds of those
surveyed (64.7 percent of males and 62.9 percent
of females) reported drinking hard liquor or
mixed drinks during the three months.
Percentages of wine consumption were slight-
Bad checks
make for
bad credit
by Stephen Smith
Staff Writer
Ever had a $309.46 ice cream cone? Or a $331
hamburger? The price of a meal these days can be
sky-high when paying with a bad check.
Bad checks are as much a part of Auburn life as
rolling Toomer's corner and waiting in line at the
financial aid office, but the penalties for bounced
checks can be much more serious than loss of
paper or patience.
Auburn banks deal with thousands of bounced
checks every month. AmSouth Bank alone handles
"a little more than 150 bad checks per month,"
Assistant Branch Manager Sandra Capps said.
Often the bank will cover the amount of the
check for those who don't habitually overdraft.
"A person who occasionally overdrafts is a lot
more likely to get his or her checks paid than
someone who is often overdrafting," Capps said.
If the bank covers the check, the only service
charge tacked on is by the bank, he said.
The service charge at AmSouth is $20 and is
about average for local banks. A $2 hamburger
now costs $22.
If the bank doesn't cover the bad check, it sends
it back to the business.
Tucker Brown, owner of Touch Down's, said he
receives 20 bad checks in an average month, but
said most students are responsible about clearing
the checks up.
"At least 75 percent of (students) pick them up
on time," Brown said.
The ones who don't clear their checks pay more
in the long run.
"I try not to charge a service charge, but if I have
to send a registered letter, which I'm required to do
by law, I automatically charge them the $20,"
Brown said.
When a business receives a bad check, it sends a
"letter of dishonor" to the check's writer by regis-

ly lower. 51.2 percent reported drinking wine,
with 6.6 percent reporting weekly drinking.
A higher percentage of females (59 percent)
reported drinking wine coolers than males (44.8
percent).
The study also showed students used tobacco
products less than alcoholic beverages.
One third (35.5 percent) of Auburn students
reported smoking cigarettes at some time during
the three months before the survey, with only
11.6 percent reporting daily smoking.
Cigarette use among men and women is virtually
even. Only 11.6 percent of students, mostly
males, used smokeless tobacco.
The survey also inquired about usage of prohibited
substances such as cocaine, ecstasy, hallucinogens,
heroin, ice and marijuana, with mar-

New minority recruiter
will begin job July 1
by Tom Strother
Staff Writer
James Brown is a name familiar
to Auburn students and people
everywhere, but Auburn's version
of this legend won't be rocking the
house—he'll be trying to build one.
James C. Brown was hired last
week by President William V.
Muse to fill a new position to
recruit more minority students to
the Plains. Brown, who currently
serves as the assistant dean of the
University of Mississippi
Graduate
School, said he is
excited about the
future.
"I want students
all over the state of
Alabama and
everywhere to
know that Auburn University exists
for all students," Brown said.
"Auburn is a prestigious university."
Brown said he and Muse had not
talked about specifics related to his
new job, but the overall goal is to
increase the current level of minority
recruitment to Auburn.
"If you look at the demographics
of the nation, one would find that
the demographs say that most of
the people in the country by the
year 2000 will be minorities,"
Brown said.
"If we (the United States) are
going to maintain our competitive .
edge, then we must educate those .

Professors say Hunt's conviction fair,
Alabama's future lies in voters hands
by J.P. Pleratt
SUff Writer
The State of Alabama faced one
of its most devastating days April
22 as Guy Hunt was removed from
the office of governor.
A jury of 10 women and two
men found Hunt guilty of violating
state ethics laws.
Many citizens around the state
saw the conviction as a personal
vendetu^against Hunt by Attorney
General Jimmy Evans; other citizens
believe Evans was only doing
his job.
Gerald Johnson, an Auburn political
science professor, said that
suggesting all the steps taken in the
judicial process were a personal
vendetta is ludicrous.
"What we have is an obvious
case of use of public office for personal
gain. It is irresponsible to
charge this as a vendetta,' he said.
John*pn said that citizens must
look at this case and realize Alabama
is in a volatile situation.
"It has come to the point now
where we are in a point of political
cultural crisis," he said.
"There is a lack of confidence in
the government, and we are at the
point where we say, 'this is the
norm,' or we say, 'this is enough,'
and do something about it."
Johnson emphasized that politicians
can be blamed, but citizens
are also at £.ult, guilty of 'political

amid questions about his personal finances.
• AugySc-pl. 1991: After the Associated
Press discloses a series of stories ili.it reveal
the governor had been using state airplanes
for money-making preaching trips, Hunt pays
the state $10,000 for the money he was given
on those trips. The Alabama Ethics
Commission still voles 4-0 to send the case to
the attorney general for possible prosecution.
Hunt files suit claiming the ethics law does
not apply to him, a plea that is later rejected in
federal court.
• Dec. 28, 1992: A grand jury indicts Hunt
and three associates on one etliics count and

echoed Johnson's remarks, saying
that one of the potential benefits of
the trial is a message may be sent
for cleaner Alabama politics.
The jury found Hunt guilty of
violating ethics laws because he
took $200,000 from a 1987 inaugural
fund.
Hunt plans to appeal the ruling
that removed him from office.
Former Lt. Gov. Jim Folsom was
sworn in as Alabama's new executive
officer a few hours after
Hunt's conviction.
Folsom named his appointments
for major Cabinet positions Tuesday:
• Jim Bennett, secretary of state;
• Billy Joe Camp, director, Alabama
Development Office;
• Hendon OeBray, acting legal
adviser;
• Teresa Smiley, director of Youth
Affairs;
• Barbara Thomas, press secretary;
and
• James C. White Sr., state finance
director
Folsom said he hopes to do all he
can to help Alabama in its time of
need.

ijuana the most popular. Use of
other substances was reported as
low.
Auburn statistics are similar to
the national weekly drinking rates.
Marijuana and cocaine use were
both below national figures, but 7.1
percent of Auburn students reported
using hallucinogens and 6.2 percent
reported using uppers, while
both substances had 4.9 percent
usage nationally.
"The whole intent of the comparison
to the rest of the nation was to
show that we[Auburn] are similar
to national statistics. We are, in
fact, a slice of life," Ellis said.
She added that many students
incorrectly identified alcohol as a
stimulant rather than a depressant,
did not know the legal blood alcohol
level for driving drunk and felt
smokeless tobacco was a less-hazardous
alternative to cigarettes.
The results of this survey will be
used to plan future alcohol and
drug awareness programs.

minority students that are in this
country," he said.
Auburn currently boasts 987
black students out of 19,290 total
students on campus. Brown said
his job is to make sure Auburn
keeps pace and improves those
numbers by the year 2000.
Brown has worked to recruit
minorities to the University of
Mississippi since 1987, and Muse
said his work in that capacity
(increasing the number of black
students at Mississippi from 22 to
320 between 1987 and 1992) could
lead to similar changes at Auburn.
"Dr. Brown has done an awful
lot of work at Ole Miss and has
been very successful there in
developing programs to help
minority recruitment. I'm sure that
he'll want to look and see if some
of those same programs can't be
implemented at Auburn," Muse
said.
Brown said that while recruitment
of black students is important,
all minorities would be targeted
by the position. An added
responsibility of his position,
Brown said, would be to recruit
more minority faculty members to
the Plains.
"In order to develop a climate
that is conducive to the recruitment
and retention of minority students—
they must see themselves.
They must have role models, such
as minority faculty members,"
Brown said.
Brown said one of his first priorities
when taking office on July 1
would be to create a community
advisory committee to advise his
office and Muse on progress being
made.
He said he didn't think "selling
Auburn" to minority students
would be difficult because of the
University's quality education.
"I'll sell Auburn just like I sold
Mississippi. When you say
Auburn—you say Duke or Harvard.
Auburn is a very prestigious
institution," Brown said.
"Just looking at the Auburn system
is something to behold.
Auburn, in my opinion, is probably
one of the greatest universities in
this country," he said.
Muse said Brown was chosen by
himself and a search committee
because of his experience in
minority recruitment.
Checks
Continued from A-1
tered mail.
If the bounced check is not cleared up within
10 days, it is turned over to the worthless check
unit in the Lee County Justice Center.
The price of mat hamburger is now $42.
According to Yolanda Fears, coordinator of the
worthless check unit in Lee County, the official
name of the crime is "negotiating a worthless
negotiable instrument."
The misdemeanor offense carries a fine of up
to $2,000 and a jail term of up to one year.
"A lot of students do not realize the seriousness
of the crime," Fears said.
First-time offenders will likely face "a one-year
suspended sentence, two years of probation, court
costs of $289 and restitution," Fears said, adding
that "almost all second offenders serve time."
The final cost of the hamburger is $331.
Beyond the expense involved in writing a bad
check, other penalties loom for those convicted of
the offense.
A conviction for negotiating a worthless negotiable
instrument can keep home and car loans
from being approved, and a jail sentence, suspended
or not, seldom looks good on a job application.
"A lot of positions like law enforcement or
banks and any position where you will be dealing
with money, or some trust is involved, you are no
longer qualified," Fears said.

AGLA
to adopt
mile
by Jennifer Acevedo
Assistant News Editor
In a move that has raised little
public outcry, the Auburn Gay and
Lesbian Association has adopted a
mile of Samford Avenue next to the
Kappa Alpha Order's fraternity
house.
The group, which filed an
application and paid the $123 fee to
participate in the statewide Adopt-a-
Mile program, will be responsible
for keeping the mile free of litter for
the next two years.
Cheryl Gladden, coordinator of
the local Adopt-a-Mile program,
said she has heard only one
objection to the AGLA's
participation so far.
"I had one small complaint from
a person concerned about the
location because there was a school
nearby," she said. "I got the
impression that they didn't want the
(AGLA) involved."
The mile, which begins at the
corner of Samford Avenue and
College Street, ends at the
intersection of Samford and Dean
Road near Auburn High School.
Service Committee Chairman
John W. Bales said the AGLA
decided to adopt a mile in an effort
to heighten awareness about the
group's community service
projects. '
The AGLA has performed
service for organizations such as the
Battered Women's Shelter and Lee
County AIDS Outreach, but Bales
said members wanted to reach out
to more of the community.
"We wanted to do some service
for the general community. Not
enough people realize we're out
there," he said. "We wanted people
to realize we are a service and an
educational organization."
The group chose the mile near the
KA house because it was close to
campus, he said.
"They told us it was the mil<
between College and Dean and i
wasn't until I drove by that
realized it was near the KA house,'
Bales said.
KA President Scott Belcher said
the fraternity would not oppose the
AGLA project.
"We are trying to get our image
on campus cleaned up," Belcher
said. "So I don't think there will be
objections to it."

WORK TO BE DONE
Minority advancement assistant must make
a difference and not just be a figurehead
m Auburn University took its first
step into a new era last month
when the student body elected Vania
Gemons as the first black Miss Auburn
in the position's history.
Auburn's administration took a second
step when it named James Brown
to the post of assistant to the president
for minority advancement.
Brown brings much experience to his
new position — he has been doing the
same thing for the University of Mississippi's
Graduate School for the past
five years, leading the way as minority
enrollment in that program increased
by some 7,500 percent (that is noi a
misprint).
While this position was a result of a
court order, it is clear that President
Muse's administration will support
Brown's work.
But he must avoid the pitfall that
surely awaits him: that his position will
become merely a ceremonial attempt at
political correctness.
Judge Eugene Reese's order (which
led to the creation of the position)
clearly intends to protect the educational
rights of black students in Alabama.
But Brown must not restrict his work
to that sole minority. There are students
and faculty from all ethnic and social
groups, representing every cultural
group in the world on campus.
The statistics of each group is irrelevant
to its importance; every one of
them is entitled to equal representation
from the advancement office.
No less important is the attention
given to minority students wishing to
attend Auburn. Minority advancement
goes all the way back to recruiting
future students, Recruiters must find
the best students from each group, not
just the population as a whole.
Brown should also work to expand
the financial aid opportunities for
minority students. Even if he ended up
with a list of 10,000 minority students
qualified for admission, many of them
still wouldn't be able to come to school
here, simply because they can't afford
it. Lack of financial resources shouldn't
prevent someone who is otherwise
qualified from attending school.
Brown's challenges are immense, but
his record indicates his ability. He
should not be expected to work miracles,
but with everyone's help, maybe
he can shine a little light.
ELECTION SAGA CONTINUES
New SGA president inherits an unresolved issue
which requires constant attention to obtain goal
The new Student Government
Association is in office, and a new
year has begun on an issue that consumed
much of former president Pat
Sefton's attention: City elections.
The collective groan at those two
words is certainly understandable. As
those who have lived in Auburn for
some time know, this is an issue that,
every five years or so, pits students
against the City in a battle of wits.
Who wins? The City, every time.
Why? Because the students can't
keep up the fight for more than a year
or so at a time. Each time the issue
dies down and is swept under the rug;
not because the students gave in, but
because the ones at the forefront graduated
or left office and nobody kept the
fire burning.
This year things might be different.
President Pat Brown said he wants to
continue the fight and work to end the
standoff once and for all.
He doesn't expect the issue to be
resolved during his tenure, but that's
not what he wants.
He said he only wants to pave a road
leading to some mutual agreement with
the City.
If a solution to the election issue is to
benefit Auburn students, Brown must
transform his political rhetoric to
action.. He must be willing to fight the
controversy throughout his term.
If Brown does his homework, there
will finally be some weight and consistency
to the students' plea for better
representation on the City Council.
Then maybe the students and the City
can start working together instead of
competing with each other.
Baseball stadium? For what crowd?
Build a better baseball stadium and the
world will beat a path to your door...
It worked for Toronto, but will it work
for Auburn?
The athletic department thinks so, as do
some members of the Board of Trustees. At
its meeting on Saturday, the Board gave
two architectural firms the go-ahead to
develop plans for a $2.9 million renovation
and addition to Plainsman Park.
Although few people actually enjoy college
baseball, supporters feel the expenditure
is long overdue.
They point to the lack of adequate dressing
areas, restrcoms and covered seating,
among other factors.
The money would also go toward raising
the seating capacity from 1,500 to 2,500
and adding an enclosed pressbox.
Auburn baseball lovers (again, there are
few) would have us believe a better baseball
facility would propel Coach Hal
Baird's squad into the ranks of the Southeastern
Conference elite. They say 10 of the
12 league schools improved their facilities
in recent years and continued complacency
by Auburn would mean recruiting suicide.
So what's the problem?
Money. No one is sure where to get it
Some trustees, including Jack Venable,
want to use money the University
will save on recently
refinanced revenue bonds.
The three bonds, including a
general fee bond, a housing
bond and an athletic bond,
totaled more than $88 million.
The collective interest saved
could reach $5 million.
Venable said the athletic
department's share is around
$1.5 million. He said he
would try to convince the
Board to use that money for
baseball.
Seth
Blomeley
But that figure is short of the proposed
$2.9 million needed for the project.
Additional money, Venable said, could
come from state appropriations. He said
Sen. Jabo Waggoner, whose son, Jay, plays
third base for Auburn, would love to get the
state moving to help the team's cause. He
also would help raise private funds.
Wherever the baseball team gets the
money, it is hard to justify spending $2.9
million to add 1,000 seats to a college baseball
stadium for a team that can't even
attract 1,500 fans who get in free.
However much money we spend on the
baseball team (short of getting Tony
LaRussa to manage) won't add to the prestige
of our nation's pastime on the Plains.
The University of Tennessee tried the
same approach with basketball, building the
25,000-seat Thompson-Boling Arena.
That arena never sells out and the Vols
rarely win a basketball game.
Although Auburn baseball is never at the
top of the heap, Baird always fields a competitive
team. Current major league stars
Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas and Greg Olson
played at the less-than-elaborate Plainsman
Park. And they turned out OK.
All of this is moot t6 those in high places
who have their mind set on the plan.
Great Go ahead with the renovation. But
Auburn baseball boosters should pay for it.
They're the ones who go to the games.
Money saved from refinancing bonds
should not pay for it, nor should state
appropriations.
At a time when the University has to con-stantiy
worry about funding, money that
could be used for better purposes shouldn't
be spent on a non-revenue sport about
which the large majority of Auburn people
care litde.
The state in no way can justify appropriating
funds over and above Auburn's budget
for a baseball stadium when the University
has to suffer through the scourge of
proration. The state's first goal should be to
try to correct proration's effects.
And with NCAA probation looming for
the football team, no lucrative bowl games
appear on the horizon. The athletic department
should prepare itself for a greatly
reduced budget.
The solution? Give Bo, Frank
and Greg a call. Auburn baseball
set them on the path to super-stardom
and big bucks. Collectively
they will make $4.1 million
this season (not counting
Bo's endorsements).
Sure, they'd love to help out;
because frankly, Auburn University
and state of Alabama
. can't afford it
Seth Blomeley is Editor at
The Auburn Plainsman.
There's nothing new about the New South
The New South, in many respects, seems
a lot like the Old South. The recent conviction
of former Alabama governor Guy Hunt
came as little surprise to a state — and a
region — that views corruption in government
as a matter of fact.
Another vestige of the past proving to be
alive and well in the New South is prejudice.
A recent child custody case in Mississippi
illustrates the problems facing minorities
today, and serves as a warning to those
who think the ways of the past are dead.
Tammy Thomas was a 29-year-old white
woman, married with two children, living
in Meridian, Miss. Her husband, Joe Allan
Thomas, had a history of becoming abusive
when he drank.
One night in August 1988, after Joe
Allan smashed up a car during a fight,
Tammy decided to leave him. She took her
two young sons, Christopher and Steven,
and headed to her sister Colline's house in
California.
Returning to Mississippi a year later,
Tammy was awarded a divorce and custody
of her children by Judge George Warner.
Everything seemed to be going well for
Tammy. In addition to finding a home for
herself and her children at Colline's, she
was able to find work. She also found Jake
Brown.
Jake and Tammy fell in love. They were
together for a year when everything started
falling apart.
The boys didn't come home from their
n Jeff
Henrichs
Politics and Policy
summer visit to grandma and grandpa's.
Christopher had told grandpa Joe and
grandma Delores that "Mommy has a
friend and her friend is black." The dear old
grandparents hired a private investigator to
find out more. Yes, it turned out, Jake was
black. And what's more, Colline was gay.
Joe and Delores called up Warner, who
admitted he had no jurisdiction in the case
(the boys lived in California), but decided
he could invoke "emergency jurisdiction."
The hearing was scheduled for the next
day. Tammy had to fly in from California,
and having no lawyer, she was appointed
one by the court.
Warner decided that, since "California
judges are a little squirrely," he needed to
protect die children himself from the "abusive"
environment they faced with their
mother. He sympathized with a psychologist
hired by the grandparents, who said
"little boys of the South" couldn't handle
the "culture shock" of California.
Custody was given to Joe and Delores
Thomas.
Tammy tried to take her children home
anyway. With the children at her side,
Tammy was stopped as Delores pointed a
gun at her. Unlike the grandparents' seizure
of the children, Tammy's attempted abduction
was met with a jail sentence.
Even when Tammy and Jake got married,
Warner refused to allow the children to
return to their mother.
Tammy's crime seems to be working to
stay off welfare, providing her children
with loving care and a roof over their
heads, and bringing a positive male influence
into their lives.
A better environment for the children,
Warner seems to believe, is with their racist
grandparents and abusive father, who called
Tammy one night asking, "Who's this nigger
you're sleeping with?"
Their positive influence prompted this
recent comment by Steven: "Jake's nice,
Mommy. Why does he have to be black?"
The American Civil Liberties Union is
considering taking her case for free, since
she is now broke.
As for Warner, the case against him
speaks for itself. Last year he forgot to go
to court and went fishing instead. He said
he thought about throwing himself in jail,
but finding himself "sufficiently remorseful,"
he fined himself $100 instead.
Warner has shown little remorse for the
pain he has unnecessarily inflicted on a few
good people. He perpetuates the kind of
stereotypes the South can no longer afford.

If homosexuals behaved with dignity, people would respect them
After watching parts of Sunday's
Gay Rights parade and demonstration
on C-SPAN, I have decided
that it is my turn to come out of the
closet.
It is time to tell my family,
friends and fellow Auburn students
about the real me.
I am a homophone.
This is a tide I used to deny. I
would never have admitted it, nor
did I want to be labeled as someone
who is afraid of homosexuals.
I've always felt uncomfortable
about the topic of homosexuality,
probably because I've never known
anyone who would admit to being
homosexual. And this "ignorance"
toward gays has even made me
"hate" them and what they represent.
4 V
But Sunday that could have all
changed. The gay rights activists
James
Foster
had the nation's attention and could
have done their best to show that
homosexuals are just like everyone
else.
A "digntfied" gathering...
Sunday morning on the
McLaughlin Group, gay rights
activists said the demonstration
would be dignified. It would show
just because homosexuals shouldn't
be feared or hated just because
they're different.
If that was the case die mf ;ch
would have been somewhat
admirable, but it wasn't.
After hearing the activist's comments,
John McLaughlin read the
names of some of the functions to
be held. The list included the "S &
M Leather Fetish Kickoff' and the
"Lesbatante Ball."
The Webster's Ninth New Collegiate
Dictionary defines dignity as
the quality or state of being worthy,
honored or esteemed.
These events don't sound too dignified,
do they?
Putting that behind me...
I put the names behind me and
tuned in anyway, but not for long.
As I turned on the television, the
first things I saw were two lesbians
dressed in leather garter belts and
bras with whips and handcuffc
cozying up to each other.
There was not an ounce of pride
or dignity in either of these two
women, but I kept watching.
Send in the clowns ...
Then the entertainment came on
stage. There were singers, comedians
and even homosexual politicians,
all of which could have been
dignified, but weren't.
The comedian was obscene,
which is to be expected, but not in
our nation's capital, in front of hundreds
of thousands of spectators
and a worldwide television audience.
And then it got worse.
Next up was a group of transves-tites
lip-syncing some sort of foreign
song. All in all, they weren't
offensive until they started spanking
each other on stage. J
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
In Washington D.C., with the
Capitol building in the background,
two grown men were spanking each
other in front of thousands of people.
Washington is where I grew up,
and seeing this take place in my
hometown stunned me. How could
anyone think public lewdness is
dignified?
I would like to suggest that any
homosexual planning to come out
of the closet leave his or her sexual
fantasies and sex toys inside.
Imagine if all heterosexuals
brought their private lives and sexual
fantasies to the streets. Most
would be arrested and those that
weren't would surely be ridiculed.
/ wear my title proudly...
I realize since I now wear thei
badge of a homophone I will be
called a bigot, but that's the price I
must pay.
After seeing the freaks, weirdos
and sexual deviants parading
around our nation's capital, I'm
afraid of homosexuals. I wouldn't
want to meet a man or woman
wearing leather torture devices in a
dark alley — or a well-lit field, for
dial matter. Would you?
The people who were making a
spectacle of themselves might only
be a small faction of the gay rights
movement, but it's the one people
will remember.
And with these costumed queers
parading around asking to be treated
like any other person, the gay
rights movement is taking just
another step back into the closet.

FEEDBACK
Love has only
one true
definition
Editor, The Plainsman:
My inspiration for writing this
letter is in response to an article
written April 22, "Don't Believe
the Hype: Love's a Lie." I strongly
disagree with this title and much of
the contents of the article.
Love is not a lie; the two words
are a contradiction of terms, actually.
Maybe it is because your definition
of love and the definition
which I agree with are different. I
say this because of your statement
that, "The only person you must
love is yourself."
The definition for love which I
believe comes from the best selling
books of all times, the Bible. God
inspired the apostle Paul to define
the word love as follows:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It is not rude, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does not delight in
evil but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres."
I Corinthians 13:4-7.
This kind of love is in no way a
lie. But, the world does offer a kind
of love that is. A worldly love is
based on self instead of others.
As an engaged woman, I am glad
I know better than to believe that,
"an unloving marriage would be a
partnership for advancement," or
that "people are physically attracted
to each other and that is it." NO,
NO, NO, surely you have no concept
of this true love that can be
shared. I hope some day you will
be able to experience a love that
truly is not a LIE.

GAG's conception of incinerator inaccurate
Editor, Plainsman:
Although I usually hesitate to
give undue publicity to the minions
of Birkenstock Brigade, I must
respond to the lies and misrepresentations
advanced in a recent flyer
by the Green Auburn Group (GAG,
an appropriate acronym). By conjuring
up images of holocaust and
disaster, they attempt to oppose
what is actually an ecologically
sound project — the building of a
new incinerator at the veterinary
school. Let me assure the GAG that
the vet school Is indeed doing
research on a number of deadly
organisms.
Are we to conclude from your
statements that you oppose the fight
against AIDS? That position might
get you kicked out of the Karl Marx
fan club.
You also warned us against
'deadly toxins', such as carbon
dioxide, that will spew forth from
the incinerator. If you are so
opposed to the production of carbon
AGLA doesn't deserve apology
from Sigma Ph i Epsilon
Editor, The Plainsman:
Just when you thought it was
safe to go back to Auburn...After
years of believing that the scourge
of political correctness would continue
to spare my alma mater, here
comes AGLA demanding nothing
less than an indoctrination session
for the Sig Eps ("AGLA Demands
Apology," in the 9 April edition of
the Plainsman). As a graduate student
here at the liberal University
of Texas, I guess I should be used
to such things, but this is just a bit
too much.
Let me get this straight. Some
trash was talked at Legends about
the most unpopular group on campus
this side of the Eric Ramsey
Fan Club, and for this heinous
offense, a fraternity is supposed to
abase itself to a radical group
whose policies are presumably
anti-ethical to virtually all of its
members? Hell, that's not political
correctness, that's political cleansing;
a concerted effort to silence
through intimidation and administrative
harassment opposing views.
Isn't this coming from the same
people who go on at length about
how we should open our minds to
their opposing views?
Members of AGLA, I submit that
you have experienced an opposing
view. If a punch had been thrown,
we'd have a different situation
here, but talking trash in a bar is
hardly a hanging offense or even
worthy of notice, much less a
forced indoctrination session that
will engender new bad blood that
could make the current situation
look like a tea party.
I sincerely hope that the silencing
of views unacceptable to
Hillary Clinton will not become a
standing practice at Auburn University
(but with the Little Liberal
from Akron in Samford Hall, I
have my doubts).
Many, probably most Auburn
students and alumni have serious
personal and moral problems with
homosexuality and the gay
lifestyle, to say nothing of the guerrilla
press tactics of the AGLA.
To suggest that dissent from the
AGLA party line should be punished
with forced political correctness
doctrine is outrageous, and I
hope that Sigma Phi Epsilon, the
administration, and the entire
Auburn family, liberals and conservatives
alike, will fight such a coercive
and dangerous precedent.

.Race relations deteriorate with 'cop out' excuses
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing in response to James Hudock's letter
concerning the division of races in America. At times I
fail to understand the naivete of the white race. Feigning
ignorance and clinging to the overused excuse that
"you are not responsible for actions of past generations",
to me is nothing more than a mere cop out. It
also serves to further deteriorate race relations in
America.
As for your wanting explanations to a few of the
problems you have with the plight of African-Americans
seeking equality, that will probably never happen.
Trying to understand why race relations are so strained
is tantamount to the fable of the three blind men who
tried to describe different parts of an elephant's anatomy
— one felt the trunk, another his leg, and the third
tried to describe the tail. How can we. as one human
race ever begin to understand the many divisions if we
cannot see past our own backyard?
The term "affirmative action" has a twofold meaning.
The first meaning grew out of concern because
certain Americans were unable to join in the race for
success. Up until the late 1960s, we were unable to
complete equally for jobs, education and housing.
Regarding your remark concerning the White Entertainment
Network, the response to MTV was the Black
Entertainment Network. For many years, MTV failed
to acknowledge the musical talents of black entertainers.
Therefore, BET was formed on the premise that
our talents would be showcased and our youths would
be able to identify with music that was more appealing
to our culture.
African-Americans have continually been ostracized
from political events, the movie industry, beauty
pageants and other facets of life. We as a race need outlets
to further educate our children and nurture our culture.
We choose to idolize our past leaders and keep
our history alive so as not to have history repeat itself.
I may not have answered your questions fully, but
hopefully I was able to enlighten you. It is my opinion
that unless we keep the struggle alive, we will never
see any progress.

Liberals express views with double standard
Editor, The Plainsman:
Recently the College Republicans had a membership
drive. Included at our concourse table was a life-size
picture of George Bush holding a sign encouraging students
to join.
Apparently, a woman with a hackey sack decided the
act of voting against Bush was not enough and decided
to throw her hackey sack full force into our poor, innocent,
George Bush cut-out. This mature act was unprovoked,
so I asked her why she did it She claimed she
didn't like George Bush, thought he had screwed up the
country, and was merely expressing her opinion.
I have absolutely nothing against people who disagree
with me politically. However, it is one thing to
express an opinion, and another to physically attack
someone else's pergonal property.
This, of course, was a trivial incident, and I brushed
it off as one. But imagine if I or another College
Republican had done the same thing to a liberal group
on campus!
I can see it now: The AGLA has a table on the concourse
and I hurl a hackey sack of death into their life-size
cut-out of Freddy Mercury. First, I would be
arrested. Next, a panel discussion would be held at my
apartment. Then I would have to wear a scarlet "Fascist"
on my chest for the rest of my days. Of course, if I
resisted, the ACLU would come down and chant
"Shame!" at my front door into the wee hours of the
night until I saw the error of my ways.
My point is simply this: There is a double standard
when it comes to politics on campus. Liberals are said
to "express their views" while Conservatives are said to
"impose their views." I think that more and more, it's
the other way around.

Some answers
for Hudock
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing this letter in
response to the letter written by
James Hudock. Hopefully I can
answer some of Mr. Hudock's
questions.
Mr. Hudock you make note that
the black community preaches separatism,
well I would like to say
that is not entirely true. All races
have a tendency to lean toward separatism
and it is because you tend
to feel comfortable around people
who are more like you. I think that
is just a sad reality.
Mr. Hudock, I will not call you
racist unless you prove yourself to
be a racist. It is well within your
rights to say that you oppose racial
quotas and affirmative action policies;
that does not mean that you
will automatically be labeled a
racist.
I personally think that racial quotas
are wrong! I do have to take an
opposing view on the affirmative
action policies. I feel that affirmative
action policies that encourage
businesses to give extra consideration
to minority members are needed;
otherwise, there will never be
equality in the workplace.
I am sure that many would agree
that in order for a minority worker
to be given an equal chance, policies
have to be developed to place
things on a more even footing.
When a minority comprises a small
percentage of the workforce you
have to take actions that will provide
the minority worker more of a
chance at success. Is that wrong in
a society that makes it easier for
you to succeed if your skin is white
instead of brown, yellow, or red?
You more than likely have a
problem with these policies
because you feel threatened by that
minority member. I would like to
know whether or not you would
feel threatened if all the applicants
were white. I would say that
chances are that you would not feel
threatened. Mr. Hudock you should
not feel threatened because you are
now competing with a minority
member. Chances are great that the
employer will still hire the person
best for the job, providing everything
is looked at very objectively.
As an American in today's society,
we all must understand where
this country has come from in
terms of race relations. Perhaps,
Mr. Hudock, as a white male you
don't owe members of the black
community a thing. The sooner
society realizes that minorities have
been slighted in the past and are
still trying to recover, then the better
off we will all be. In order for
things to get better the majority
must realize that there are real
problems in this society.

Animals can't conceive 'rights'
Editor, The Plainsman:
The term "right" refers to the
moral principle defining an individual's
freedom of action within a
group. In a society that defends
individual rights, individuals who
violate the rights (freedom of
action) of others lose their rights.
This is why individuals who murder
or steal go to jail.
To understand the concept of
rights, one has to be able to think
principle, something animals cannot
do.
Animals do not respect the right
of others. When the lion rips open
the belly of the antelope, is he concerned
that he has violated the
antelope's rights? No.
Animals cannot think in principle.
Animals do not respect the
rights of others. Animals have no
rights. This fact DOES NOT make
animal cruelty acceptable. But to
assign rights to animals is to place
animal fife on the same level as
human life. Placing the life of a
chicken or cow on the same plane
as a human life is so repulsive an
idea that to describe it properly
would require language you could
not print.
There are two ways to assign
value to objects in nature. The
objective method assigns value to
objects based on their utility to
man. The subjective method
assigns value based on other criteria
(feeling, faith, etc.).
There are certain objects in
nature man requires for his survival
(trees, animals for food, etc.). By
assigning value to these objects
based on criteria other than utility
to man, the nature lovers' goal
becomes clear. TO MAKE MAN
THE SYSTEMATIC DESTROYER
OF THE GOOD.
The motivation of the nature
lovers is not love, as they claim. It
is hatred. Hatred of man, human
life, and human achievement.

Foster's reach for 'sarcasm',
'humor' comes up short
Editor, The Plainsman:
Once again, James Foster has
made a complete fool out of himself.
In his latest column, "Bulls
prepare for revolt," Mr. Foster
makes a vain attempt at humor
through the use of his inept sarcasm.
Needless to say, his comments
are far from amusing.
Now, I must point out the flaws
in his latest argument. First, he
takes a shot at my previous letter
that simply cannot go unanswered.
I'm glad that he now realizes
humans are animals; however, Mr.
Foster still is not seeing the whole
picture. It seems he has forgotten
that the riders choose, of their own
free will, to ride the bulls and broncos.
Therefore, if a rider gets hurt,
it is his/her own fault. The animals,
on the other hand, have no choice
in the matter; they are forced to
participate in the rodeo.
Also, it seems as though Mr.
Foster didn't thoroughly read my
last letter (or the other two letters
that were published), so I must
clarify a few things for him. I did
not propose that people quit eating
meat. In fact, it is an unnatural act
for people to quit eating meat.
Humans are omnivores by nature.
However, as I pointed out in my
last letter, it is not natural to abuse,
exploit, and kill animals in order to
provide pleasure and entertainment
for humans.
In the future, Mr. Foster, get
your facts straight and think about
what you say before you say it. It
will save you, as well as many others,
including myself, a lot of trouble.

Rev. Jesse Jackson encourages
student protest; 16 arrested at UNC
After a two-week sit-in calling for a freestanding
cultural center for black students, police arrested
16 students and one Chapel Hill resident April 15
for disorderly conduct.
While clapping and chanting, approximately 70
protesters flooded Chancellor Paul Hardin's office
at the University of North Carolina about noon,
following his meeting with the Rev. Jesse Jackson,
who spoke to Hardin on the students' behalf.
The day before, Jackson had encouraged the
students to continue their '60s-style nonviolent
protest for the cultural center.
"What gives me special pleasure is to see you
here on a moral agenda, and your agenda of
nonviolence. What you are doing here is not only
morally right, you are setting the pace for the
country," he said.
The president of the Black Student Movement,
John Bradley , said that although the sit-in is over
the protest is not.
"Anything that' s possible to make the BCC
(Black Cultural Center) a reality will not end,"
Bradley said.
Following the arrests, about 180 students
followed BSM leaders to the Chapel Hill Police
Department in protest.

assault.
Poe said that he received threats from several
men during a band party at the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity house before he attempted to leave the
party, and received the cuts from the bottle at about
1:45 a.m.
Out of jail on a $3,000 bond, Humphrey could

Dancing professor sings to cows
by Jennifer Chapped
Staff Writer
Years after his days on the glitzy stages of New
York City and the "Ed Sullivan Show," dance
instructor Lynn Curtis sits in his far-from-glitzy
office with bare, white walls in the theatre department
at Auburn.
Instead of his usual bell-bottoms, Curtis wears
black leather boots, black pants and a black shirt that
perfectly match his tall crown of curly black hair
without a trace of gray.
The 67-year-old Curtis said it's one of his less
"flashy" days for dress.
Known in his department for his flamboyant style
of clothes, Curtis brings to the theatre building's halls
hints of his former days as a dancer in New York's
Roxy Theatre and of his dance tours to the Far East.
A national male baton-twirling champion during his
college days, Curtis now teaches forms of dance
ranging from jazz and classical ballet to Hawaiian
and belly dancing for the University and in his private
studio.
Curtis prides himself on his status as one of only
four male belly dancing instructors in the United
States.
"When you think of belly dancing, you kind of lift
an eyebrow. If it's done right, it can be very beautiful.
The fluttering of the stomach is the hardest part," he
said.
But Curtis considers teaching such techniques only
part of his job. His prime concern lies with the
welfare of his students, he said.
"There's a lot of love in my school. A lot of love."
"I'm always here if (the students) need me. I want
people to feel free and easy with me. I'm not too
harsh. I have a lot of feeling for my students," Curtis
said.
Dancing since the age of three, Curtis recalls
performing for the cows in the pastures of his
Midwestern home.
"I used to love to dres s up in any costume I could
put on. I would go sit on the fence and sing to the
cows," he said. •
He remembers running to his grandmother crying
after one such performance.
"One of the cows wouldn't look at me!" he said he
told her.
Linda Bell, marketing director for the theatre
department, said she witnessed Curtis' strong impact
on his students when a former student brought her 4-
year-old to a first dance lesson with Curtis.
The woman was so thrilled her daughter was going
to experience the world of dance with Curtis as her
guide that she cried happy tears of nostalgia, Bell
said.
"I was standing outside (his) studio when the young
mother looked through the window and started to sob.
What she remembered was Mr. Curtis taking her hand
and teaching her the first dance steps," she said.
"I'm very good with pre-schoolers. I'm excellent.
They adore me," Curtis said.
Curtis explained teaching dance to young children
requires the skills of a teacher, a parent and an
entertainer. He calls the children nicknames like
"Gertrude" or "Tootsie June" to help them feel
comfortable with him so they can learn to dance.
Curtis teaches students of all ages; he has a tap
dancing student in the late sixties, he said.
Curtis has turned out students who have gone on to
careers in dance, such as one woman who landed a
lead role in Broadway's famed "42nd Street," and
went on to play the lead of the same play in Paris.
Another of his students went on to have a co-lead
role in the recent musical and dance film Newsies.
Throughout his years of dance instructing, Curtis
has served not only as teacher, but benefactor as well.
Curtis told of one young girl who was a "brilliant
dancer," but could not afford to enroll at Auburn.
"I said, 'If you teach for me, I'll pay your tuition.' I
was almost like a father to her," he said.
"My mother used to tell me as a little boy that I
liked to give more than receive. I am still like that,
and I think it's the only way to be," he said.
In addition to dance steps, Curtis teaches his
students discipline and concentration, traits that
overflow into all areas of their lives, he said.
One dance student's grades drastically improved
after learning the skill of concentration from Curtis,
he said.
Bell, who called Curtis "a true Aquarian" said, "If
anyone fits their zodiac sign, it's him. (Aquarians)
live in the future. They're young at heart. They're
highly creative, and they do love all mankind," she
said.

"-..
Though his peers may think him a bit
flamboyant, Lynn Curtis says his students
don't mind. "I'm very good with preschoolers.
I'm excellent. They adore me."
Curtis has been teaching dance for
years, but is particularly proud of the fact
that he is only one of four male belly-dancing
instructors in the United States.

Consider
effects of
AIDS test
As more and more people
become aware of the possibilities of
infection with HIV (human
immunodeficiency virus — the
virus associated with AIDS),
increasing numbers of individuals
are having the HIV antibody test
done.
The test cannot detect HIV itself,
but rather antibodies the body
makes in response to infection with
HIV.
If you decide to take the HIV
antibody test, for whatever reason,
you should carefully consider how
you would react to either a positive
or negative result
Further, if the test does come up
positive, you must give careful
consideration to who to tell about
the results. In other words, who
should you tell that you are infected
with HIV?
Your decision should be based on
careful consideration of both the
potential positive and negative
aspects of telling different
individuals about your infection.
There are laws to protect people
infected with HIV, persons
presumed to be infected or
individuals who know people who
are infected.
However, some people infected
with HIV still suffer from
discrimination and prejudice with
housing, schools, employers and
co-workers, insurance companies
and even family members.
The first thing that goes through
many people's minds when they
hear that they are infected with HIV
is that they are going to die soon.
This leads some people to rush
out and tell anyone who will listen.
However, improved medications
have increased the average time
from infection to development of
symptoms to about ten years.
Because of this longer time
period when you may still be
healthy, it is important not to tell
people who may not respect your
confidentiality about your infection.
Since this is such important and
potentially life-altering information,
you should probably tell someone
for your own peace of mind.
You should think about everyone
you know, who you care about and
who cares about you. Then you
should pick one person you can rely
on for support once he or she knows
of your infection.
Some people have gone to their
mother, father or other relative first,
; while others have decided that the
last person they want to tell is an
immediate family member.

you may be reluctant at first, think
about what you would want if the
situation were reversed.
Your health professionals should

precautions when working with
your blood, as well as give you the
best possible care when providing
you with services and medications.

Walk-a-thon
to benefit
those in need
by Angela Williams
Staff Writer
Another summer is approaching,
bringing with it the desire to get out
and exercise, so how about walking
"Five Miles for a Home"?
That's what the Auburn and Lee
County chapters of Habitat for
Humanity will be doing at the
Second Annual Walk-a-Thon May
1.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit
volunteer organization that
builds homes and does repair work
for people in need.
Spokesman Philip Cantilo,
04MK, said construction of a home
could begin this summer if the two
chapters raise enough money.
About 60 people participated in
last year's walk-a-thon, which
raised about $6,000. Cantilo said
the goal this year is to raise $25,000
with 200 walkers.
Leif Helms, 03BSC and vice
president and treasurer for the
Auburn chapter, said its goal is to
fight inadequate housing.
Lisa Brooke, 03PR and president
of the Auburn chapter, said, "The
creed is to have no more shacks."
Habitat builds homes with
volunteer labor.
"The homes we build in Lee
County can usually be built for
about $22,000 with two to three
bedrooms and one bath," Helms
said.
To receive a Habitat home,
families must fill out an
application. If the family is
approved, it must help build the
home and work on the next one.
Helms said it usually takes three
'to six months to build a house. "We
are hoping to build three within the
next year," he said.
* Helms invited anyone interested
in Habitat projects to get involved.
"Come out and work on one of
our work days so that (you) can get
the feeling of helping someone
else," Helms said.
i
"It feels great (to build someone
a home). It's a feeling that can't be
expressed in words," he said.
This year's walk-a-thon will
begin at 9 a.m. Saturday at the
Auburn Bowl on Opelika Highway
'and end at Auburn's Boykin
Center, on state Highway 14. The
endpoint is across from the first
'completed Habitat house.
Registration for the walk-a-thon
will be held this week at Haley
'Center. Anyone interested in
becoming a volunteer can attend
Habitat meetings Monday at 6 p.m.
in Foy Union room 322

by Jason D. Smith
Staff Writer
The Student Government
Association's Budget and Finance
meetings could be less confusing
next year, thanks to suggestions on
ways to help clarify the process.
At the first meeting of the new
administration, SGA Vice President
David Martin said the B&F
committee will be considering
suggestions that will make the
hearings more understandable and
accessible to those groups funded
by student activity fees.
Organizations which requested
money at the March meeting
encountered a baffling set of
parliamentary procedures that left
some with only half of their
proposed budget
SGA adviser George Blanks said
the confusion resulted from some
organizations being unaccustomed
to how B&F works.
"Organizations like the ISO
(International Students
Organization) and the BSU (Black
Student Union) were sort of new to
the process," he said.
"They weren't sure about some of
the parliamentary procedures."
After the March meetings, B&F
chair Paula Revels and others
organized the Committee on
"There were a couple of times when it was
apparent the B&F members weren't exactly
sure what they were talking about."
- GEORGE BLANKS
Student Government Association adviser
Student Activity Fee Projects.
This committee heard suggestions
on how the B&F process could be
clarified for those unfamiliar with
it.
Blanks said the major focus of
COSAP will be to go to the
individual organizations and
explain how the B&F process
works and to learn about the
individual groups.
"Usually the only contact B&F
members had with these projects
was when they came in and made
their presentations (during the
hearings).
"There was no 'pre-B&F'
orientation or training," he said.
Some of the groups, he said, did
not understand how to arrange their
budget requests into the line-item
format B&F uses.
Some projects requested
unnecessarily high amounts for
items such as office supplies and
equipment, while others named line
items without specifying what the

money would be used for.
The B&F education effort would
also work the other way, Blanks
said.
Committee members do not
always understand the reasoning
behind certain requests, and having
B&F members meet and talk with
representatives from the individual
projects will help clear the air.
"There were a couple of times
when it was apparent the B&F
members weren't exactly sure what
they were talking about," Blanks
said.
"If they had lived with that
project more, they would know a lot
more about what the project was
trying to do."
Another point that was brought
up about the recent hearings was
that since the SGA is also funded
by student activity fees, it is
essentially approving its own
budget.
Blanks said starting this year he
will be working with the SGA
treasurer, along with the Office of
Student Affairs, to oversee the
SGA's budget and allocations.
"That's going to make the
playing field level," he said.
In other business, the SGA
granted three probationary charters
and one permanent charter to
campus organizations.
The Auburn Car Club was
granted a permanent charter with a
unanimous vote. The club will
promote interest in antique and
classic cars on the Auburn campus.
Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta
Sigma, two band honoraries, and
Omega Phi Alpha, a service
sorority, were all granted
probationary charters with
unanimous votes.
The organizations can ask the
SGA for permanent charters in one
year.
The addition of the three
probationary charters brings the
total number of chartered campus
organizations to 286.
Martin said the Senate plans to
review the applications of all of the
chartered organizations on campus
as per regulation.
Although the charters have not
been reviewed in past years, Martin
said he hopes to get the Senate's
Organizations Committee to take on
the task this year.

Vet school plans to build incinerator
Plan has drawn
little criticism
from community
by Stephen Smith
Staff Writer
It's a dirty job, but somebody's
got to do it.
The University veterinary school
is cleaning up its act, preparing to
dispose of animal carcasses in a
sanitary fashion with a new
incinerator.
Work is scheduled to begin on a
building to house the incinerator as
soon as the University facilities
division approves a bid from a
contractor.
According to Dr. J. Thomas
Vaughan, dean of the veterinary
school, in the past carcasses have
been stored in refrigeration and then
turned over to a rendering company
which turns some of the remains
into animal feed.
Vaughan said that method is no
longer acceptable; he described the
refrigeration room as "inadequate."
"The whole process is awkward,
inefficient and I'm not sure how
sanitary it is after (the carcasses)
leave our facility," Vaughan said.
PAUL HUGGINS/ Plilnsnan flair
The vet school plans to use the incinerator to dispose of carcasses more sanitarily.
The incinerator plans proceed
amid grumblings from an
anonymous local environmental
group, Green Auburn Group.
G.A.G. has distributed fliers
protesting the incinerator's
construction and urging citizens to
demand a public hearing on the
issue.
In the fliers, G.A.G. contends the
incinerator will "emit dangerous
toxic substances," including acids
and "unburned matter," into the
atmosphere. Unburned matter is of
particular concern to G.A.G. since
many of the carcasses will contain
some form of disease.
Executive Director of Facilities
Stephen Swinson says there is no
threat of unburned matter.
"There will be a two-second
dwell time for all of the matter, at
temperatures in excess of 1,800
degrees. Nothing can survive 1,800
degrees. There will be no unburned
matter," Swinson said.
As for acid emissions, Swinson
said a risk is nonexistent
