• The University plans to build its
way to a larger poultry science
department.
The department of poultry sci­ence

Ticket office
to scan IDs

BECKY HANSON
Assistant Sports Editor
L Ready or not, football season is here,
Jong with a few changes.
Everyone is aware of the crowds at foot-.
ball games, particularly in the student sec­tion.
This year, the University has decided
Icanning student identification cards should
t down the crowding in the student sec-
>n.
"I think it was something we had to go
' Steven Naughton, director of ticket sales
said.
"The University of
Tennessee had to go
to scanning because
they had a similar
problem where stu­dents
couldn't get
tickets."
The scanning
process will work
just like a credit
card scanner. It will
have a red and
green light to tell
whether the student
is allowed in.
There will also be
computer terminals
on the side to pull
up the student's
schedule in case the
ID is defective.
'If we pull up the ID and they are a former
ludent, then of course, we won't let them
Naughton said.
'Tiger Card Manager Stephen Ensminger
lid students have been getting their IDs
lecked to see if they are defective. Doing
His will cut down on the traffic at entrance
ates.
"We are replacing the student IDs that are
Wective free of charge," Ensminger said,
stated if the student is at fault of the
J>fectiveness,.a $10 fee is charged.
[The cost of IDs for new students is $5. The
Loney is billed to the student, so no money
] required at the Tiger Card Center.
I The scanning process begins at the first
pme, Auburn vs. University of Alabama
Jrmingham. "We wanted to start early so
le could get everybody acclimated to the
Istem," Naughton said.
I The stadium will open an hour and a half
Ifore the game starts. "I imagine the stu-ents
who want the best seats will come
Irly and hopefully this will cut down on
le traffic when the game actually starts,"
laughton said.
"The gates stay open throughout the game
if anybody wants to come at the begin-of
the fourth quarter, they will be
anned," he said.
i scanning process is still fairly new to
Alleges in the United States.
"There are only two or three schools in
earlier this month.
"Poultry is the fastest-growing
sector among Alabama's food
commodities," U.S. Sen. Howell
Heflin said in a press release.
With the growth in this industry,
students and faculty agree this
building will enhance the research
and study facilities at Auburn,
Robert Brewer, department head
of poultry science, said.
"More and more of the state's
farmers are getting into the poul­try
business, and this new center
at Auburn will help to ensure that
they are successful at it," Heflin
said in the release.
"The research function requires
fairly sophisticated equipment in
order to properly do the research,"
Brewer said.
According to Brewer, many of
the present facilities are outdated
and not well controlled environ­mentally.
"These were the kinds of things
that started moving us towards
trying to get a new building that
will have proper facilities,"
Brewer said.
The USDA will fund up to half
the cost of the building, Brewer
said.
"Once we were approved by the
USDA funding, we started work­ing
with senators and representa­tives
to get the money in hand,"
Brewer said.
"Originally, the House did not
provide any funds for the project,"

Schools with financial
means to balance salaries
EQUITY: Plan allows each
college to decide who gets a raise
based on available funds
• ASIM MASOOD
Assistant News Editor
Many underpaid members of the
University faculty will soon get long-deserved
equity pay raises.
"The equity pay raises will be an option
for any college or unit in the University,"
Paul Parks, provost and vice president of
Academic Affairs, said.
"Colleges who are granted the equity
raises must have the funds to pay for them.
The raises are for employees whose salaries
are too low in comparison to their cowork­ers,"
Parks said. „,„ _ jot^^^^.
"For example, if an associate professor in
the same department as an assistant profes­sor
makes less than the assistant, then an
equity adjustment is needed. We're going to
try to handle as many as we can," he said.
"We will keep the process centralized to
ensure we only deal with equity issues at
this time. Department heads will recom­mend
equity adjustments to the deans of
their colleges, who will in turn pass them
on to me for approval," Parks said.
Opinions of the equity pay raises varied
among the faculty.
John Grover, professor of fisheries and
allied aquaculture and chairman of the
Faculty Senate, said, "Obviously, everyone
wasn't able to be helped this time around.
But funds are limited, so we could only
handle the problem a piece at a time."
"We're happy for those who could get the
pay raises, and we hope all of these equity
issues can be resolved soon," he said.
"I'm not really happy that the equity rais­es
are based on the funds in each college,"
George Kozlowski, department head of
mathematics, said.
"Colleges who cannot afford these raises
are going to suffer morale problems. It will
be difficult for many colleges because they
have to give 1 percent of their budget for
the across-the-board pay raises,"
Kozlowski said.
"Some colleges are better equipped to
handle the 1 percent cut than others. The
departments who are not as fortunate will
surfer and have to deal with additional
teaching responsibilities," he said.
Joseph Kicklighter, professor of history,
had mixed feelings about the equity raises.
He said, "This will not benefit liberal arts
because we don't have the funds for it.
People often develop hostility when money
is involved."
"People should be rewarded on the basis
of merit, not on what college they are in.
These raises will not be consistent across
the University. So morale will not be good
in light of this," Kicklighter said.
Richard Kunkel, dean of the College of
Education, said he saw the equity raises as
a way to make a statement about Auburn's
priority. "Many people are looking at this
from the wrong point of view. It is not an
issue of some colleges with an excess of
support," Kunkel said.
"This is about our priorities when we
spend our money. If we have the money
available, then why shouldn't we help
those who are here?" Kunkel asked.
"I think it is fair for us to help those we

Skating illegal on campus

• LIZZ FULLERTON
Staff Writer
Those who try to skateboard on cam­pus,
even late at night, will be subject
to a warning or a ticket from police.
In the last week of July, five people
were issued trespass warnings for
being on campus with skateboards.
"Use of skateboards, rollerskates,
roller blades, etc.
prohibited
University property,"
according to Auburn
University Traffic
and Parking
R e g u l a t i o n s
brochure. This
includes all side­walks,
parking lots
and streets.
"It is also illegal to skate anywhere in
the downtown Auburn area. Those
who break these rules are subject to a
ticket equivalent to those given for ille­gal
parking," Bill Nevin, University
Police Chief, said.
Dave Smart, 02HRM, said, "Every
time I've gone skateboarding, the cops
treat it like a game. They circle around
you and try to block you off. After three
warnings you have to go in front of a
disciplinary board that has the option
of kicking you out of school."
The fear of injuries to skaters and
pedestrians is the reason for the ban.
"There's always someone around,"
Nevin said. "There's always traffic on

(skaters) don't have
any lights on. It's

A 21-year-old Lee County man was sen­tenced
to one year of hard labor in jail last
week. Brian A. Galindo, 1150 County Road
25, Opelika, pleaded guilty to 54 counts of
writing bad checks.
Galindo appeared before Judge Richard
D. Lane in Lee County District Court.
Galindo received the maximum jail time for
the charges.
This is the kind of story Yolanda Fears,
coordinator of the worthless check unit in
Lee County, hears regularly.

The total dollar amount of these cases was
$126, 740. 55, Fears said.
More than 30 others appeared in court
that day. One 24-year-old woman pleaded
guilty to writing six bad checks.
She was sentenced to pay court costs and
$1,000 in fines. The face value of the checks
she wrote was $430.
She said she was a victim of her own
inexperience. "This is a rude awakening,"
she said, asking for anonymity.

THE RADIANT CUT DIAMOND
COMBINES THE CLASSIC
ELEGANCE OF THE
TRADITIONAL EMERALD SHAPE
WITH THE FIERY BRILLIANCE
OF THE ROUND CUT.
The ftadiorv Cu( Diamond
Until recently, the
maximum number of
facets—or faces-achieved
in cutting a
diamond was 58.
The Round, or Brilliant
Cut. wos the shape most
prized by investors
because it provided
maximum refraction of
light.
The Radiant Cut Diamond
yields even greoter
brilliance because its 70
facets allow more light-refracting
surfaces than
was ever before possible.
This innovation in diamond
cutting greatly increases
the beauty and value of
any grade, size, color or
quality of stone.
The Real Brilliance

not from the Surface,
but from Within.

Perot accepts Reform Party nomination
Billionaire H. Ross Perot defeated former Colorado Gov. Dick
Lamm for the Reform Party presidential nomination. Perot, the party
founder, captured 65.2 percent of the 49,266 votes cast. Lamm
received 34.8 percent. ,
The results were announced Saturday, Aug. 17, in Valley Forge,
Pa., site of the second leg of the Reform Party Convention. The con­vention
began the previous weekend in Long Beach, Calif.
The 1.1 million members of the Reform Party could vote by mail,
telephone or e-mail, with 4.3 percent of the members voting.
Lamm complained about the voting process, calling it a flawed
system. He said his workers were denied access to computer
records, and he wouldn't have been able to vote if Perot hadn't
intervened.
The Reform Party is on the ballot in 40 states.

Clinton signs wage increase, tax breaks into law
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, President Bill Clinton signed the minimum
wage increase into law. This will be the first increase in five years.
It will affect 10 million Americans.
The bill raises the minimum wage to $4.75 an hour Oct. 1. It will
rise again to $5.15 an hour Sept. 1,1997.
Employees who receive tips will still receive $2.13 an hour, unless
their tips and wages together fall short of the new rate. The law also
implements a training wage of $4.25 an hour for employees under
age 20 for their first 90 days on the job.
The law includes tax breaks for many Americans, and it adds a 10
percent federal tax to airline tickets. The airline tax will fund airport
improvements and the Federal Aviation Administration. This tax
will take affect Aug. 27.
The tax breaks were made possible by eliminating tax breaks to
manufacturers operating in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories.

Suns trade Barkley to Rockets for four players
Former Auburn basketball star Charles Barkley was traded to the

Heflin said.
"I was pleased when the Senate
agreed to include money for the
center in its version of the bill and
that it was kept in during negotia­tions
with the House," Heflin said.
Auburn has started raising the
last half of the $12 million needed
by state and industry contribu­tions.
"This building is going to be a
major addition to campus," Robert
Vortle, associate dean in the
College of Agriculture, said.
The building will be on Mell
Street next to Comer Hall and
. have roughly 85,000 square feet.
"At least half the space in the
building will be student oriented
and the remainder will be research
and extension," Brewer said.
The building will have one large
classroom with approximately
250-300 seats, two smaller class­rooms
and two large teaching lab­oratories
in the basement, Brewer
said.
"The upper three floors of the
building will be the poultry sci­ence
department. It will have
offices, laboratories and some stu­dent
areas," Brewer said.
After the building is complete,
students and faculty can benefit
from excess space in the current
building, Voitle said.
"It will be freeing up badly
needed space to a number of facul­ty
and students," Voitle said.
In earlier stages of planning, the
department considered locating
the building near the poultry
farms for convenience and park­ing
availability, Brewer said.
With further planning, other
considerations had to be taken
into account.
"We needed to try and have it
within a walking radius of Haley
Center," Brewer said.
"We decided this location is
more accessible to students," he
said.
Another reason for having the
building closer to campus is easy
access to the library, Brewer said.
Construction will begin as early
as 1997, he said.
"Generally, the trustees like to
have all the funding identified
before you actually start contract­ing
the building," Brewer said.
The department thought about
this building as early as 1988, but
the fund-raising did not begin
until 1992, Brewer said.
"It takes four or five years to go
through the process of getting
things done, so we feel like we're
well on our way, " Brewer said.

Rollerblading is a popular
activity for many students. It is
illegal on campus and down­town.
Frisbee® on campus is dis*
couraged, but not illegal,
"It's not against the rules to
play Frisbee® on campus. But, it
shouldn't be played near builds
ings because windows have
been knocked out It can also be
dangerous to pedestrians/'
University Police Chief Bill
Nevin said;
Some students, unable to find
a spot on campus with no build­ings
around, choose other sites,
such as Pebble Hill to play
Frisbee®.
Jody Pangle,owner of the
Crossover Inline Skate Shop at
121 N. College St., said the ban
on in-line skates "probably
won't hurt business. It's such a
popular sport throughout the
rest of the country that people
who want to do it will get the
equipment anyway."
Many students would like to
use rollerblades as a form of
transportation to and from elass-es.
"\ think they should reach
some sort of compromise; Maybe
they could allow it on certain
parts of campus," Pangle said.
"It's an alternative form of
transportation. Instead of having
a conflict over it they need to
find a solution to the problem, a
solution and sotne sort of accep­tance,"
Pangle said.
Many students who come into
Pangle's store complain about
the laws, he said.
"The students say they're
upset because they're not treated
like the people on •bicycles. Bikes
can go anywhere they want,"
Pangle said.

t Writing a bad check is a Class A misde-

/•case. Each check is a separate case, Fears

If you do bounce a check, get in touch
with the merchant. The merchants are will­ing
to work with you, Fears said.
Businesses are required by law only to send
you a certified letter to notify you of your
returned check.
After receiving a certified letter, you have
10 days to respond. If you don't respond
within that time, the merchant can swear
out a warrant for your arrest.
Most merchants want to avoid that
process. David Wiggins, Loss Prevention
specialist at Gayfers, said his company does

Judge Lane told people in his courtroom
to look into overdraft protection offered by
most banks. AmSouth is one bank to offer
this service.
Overdraft protection, in which the check­ing
account is linked to a savings account or
credit card, can save you that charge, Mary
Scarvey, telebanking specialist at AmSouth,
said.
The overdraft fee at AmSouth is $24 per
check.
With overdraft protection, if a check is
presented against a checking account with
insufficient funds, the money is taken from
the savings account or charged to the credit
"tafd for a fee of $6, Scarvey said. -
"Negotiating with a worthless irtsfrument
is a crime of moral turpitude, and a convic­tion
stays with you for the rest of your life,"
Fears said.
"That conviction can also keep you from
being eligible for jobs, some licenses and
certifications," Fears said.
The district attorney's office publishes a
pamphlet, "The $385.99 Hamburger." The
pamphlet explains how a check for 99 cents
bounces and ultimately costs the check-writer
an additional $385 in fines and court
costs.

paid $125 for each scanner.
"We are hoping that nobocty
will buy tickets to try and sell
them," Naughton said. "Now if
they want to merely sell their tick­ets,
the have to put responsibility
in someone's hands for their ID/'
The Athletic Department feels
this new process will enable all
freshmen to purchase tickets.
Auburn students have differing
opinions on the scanning process.
Clay Herron, 04ME, thinks it is
a hassle. "It's going to make the
lines even longer, and I'm not
looking forward to standing at
• the entrance gates for an hour/'
he said.
Burton Dunn, 10CLA, thinks
the process could work. "I'm for
it if it gets tickets in the hands of
people who will actually use
them," Dunn said.
EQUITY from A-I
can afford to. The provost has s£t
it up for us to be able to do so;"
he said.
"There are many cases hefe
where people aren't paid equi­tably.
Our average salary in the
College of Education is only 84
percent of the median salary
among Southeastern schools," he
said.
The College of Architecture is
also in need of equity increases.
Tom Regan, dean of 'Jhe
College of Architecture, Design
and Construction, said. "The
average salary of our faculty-is
below Auburn University's aver­age
in each rank, as they are com­pared
to faculty within our disci­plines
in other universities across
the U.S.," I
"We anticipate having Ihe
option to award these adjust­ments
from our college budget
next year to deserving faculty
and staff members. Hopefully,
our legislature will authorize* a
reasonable merit salary raise fbr
all Auburn faculty and staff
members for 1997-98," Regln
said.

Professors spend summer with NASA
• MEGAN HEALY
Staff Writer
Five professors from Auburn's
College of Engineering spent
their summer researching at the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration's Marshall Space
Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
Professors Peter Jones, depart­ment
of mechanical engineering;
Roy Hartfield and John
Lundberg, department of aero­space
engineering; Homer
Carlisle, department of computer
science engineering and John
Hung, department of electrical
engineering, were part of NASA's
Summer Faculty Fellowship
Program, which lasted 10 weeks.
The program's purpose is to
bring in professors to help solve
engineering problems. NASA and
the American Society of
Engineering Education founded
the fellowship program in 1966.
"It's a good deal for NASA,
because it cost them a lot less
than it would to hire a consul­tant,"
Jones said.
"NASA's headquarters gives a
grant to the ASEE who then orga­nizes
the NASA field centers,"
Jones said.
Half of the program's funding
comes from the ASEE grant and
the other half from the individual
center which needs assistance
with research.
"What they get essentially is
cheap, highly qualified labor, and
what we get is an insight to
things that are interesting to a
sector of the real world,"
Jones said.
"We do it for research and
experience," Jones said. His
research will be applicable in the
classroom.
"I can use this as an example
for my students. It keeps me
more current, so this makes my
presentation more interesting," he
said.
This was Jones' first summer at
the Marshall Center.
Jones said, "It goes through a
cycle. You go up there for two
summers or longer, and presum­ably
you and NASA start work­ing
on something of interest to
our field and NASA."
Jones has done research at John
Stennis Research Center in
Gulfport, Miss., and Lewis
Research Center in Cleveland,
Ohio.
"Marshall's program is by far
the best organized, and they real­ly
know what they're doing,"
• Jones said.
"There is so much enthusiasm
around the center, and the com­munity
seems to really be behind
it," he said.
"Professor Jones' work was
excellent," said Biliyar Bhat, chief
of Marshall's metallurgy research
and materials processing branch­es.
Hartfield completed his fourth
summer in Huntsville.
"I'm going to take the data that
we got and write a paper about it.
I've already presented the prelim­inary
results to NASA, and they
are happy with it," Hartfield said.
"They may give me some fund­ing
to continue my results here in
Auburn," he said.
Hartfield said he will use some
of the material in his classes, but
mostly it aids his research.
Carlisle spent his second sum­mer
at NASA developing the
Internet.
"NASA is investigating using
the Internet for distributive and
collaborative engineering work,"
he said.
"This program will allow
NASA to build these research
teams to work on problems, but
everyone would not have to trav­el,"
he said.
Carlisle will use his data in the
classroom and the ideas he
learned can be conveyed to the
students, he said.
"I enjoyed NASA because it is a
nice place to work, and it gave
me the chance to pursue my own
research as well as do something
for them," Carlisle said. "It gives
the faculty the chance to interact
with NASA engineers," he said.
"I am in favor of this program.
What's nice about it is we can
have these professors come here
and apply their special skills to
NASA's problems," Bhat said.
Alumni office names*
new vice president
• MATTHEW WILLETT
News Editor
Auburn Alumni Clubs can
expect an old face with a new
title next year to coordinate
alumni club activities.
Genie Brock has coordinated
activities for
alumni clubs
across the
nation for the
past four
years. Last
week she was
named assis­tant
vice presi­dent
for alum­ni
affairs in
the AU Office
of Alumni and development.
"My goal is for the Auburn
Alumni Association to serve our
Alumni better than any other
alumni association in the coun­try,"
Brock said.
Brock has acted as assistant
vice president for alumni affairs
since September of 1995.
"I've been handling the
G. BROCK
responsibilities of this position
since October so I've had time to
acclimate to the position," Brock
said.
Brock graduated from Auburn r
in 1990, and worked for the
Auburn Network for the next
two years.
The Auburn Alumni associa­tion
encompasses 123 clubs
across the country, and has
45,000 members.
"I will be overseeing all of the
alumni association programs,"
Brock said.'T'm responsible for
overall management including
club programs, the AU Magazine,
The Auburn reunion program
and our membership dues."
Brock said she was excited by
the challenges the new position
would bring.
"I'm really excited that I get to
work on something I particularly
enjoy," she said.
"I enjoy doing the strategic
planning that will determine
where the alumni association is •
now and where it will be in the
next ten years," Brock said. ,
Auburn honors distinguished alumnae with honorary doctorate
M BECKY HANSON
Assistant Sports Editor
Auburn will award an honorary doctor
of law degree to Henry Steagall II at this
summer's graduation.
Steagall said he is excited and apprecia­tive.
"It is a great honor to be remembered in
this way by my alma mater," Steagall
said.
Steagall entered Auburn in 1941, but
left school for World War II. He returned
to Auburn after the war.
"Auburn means a lot to me, and I just
want to thank the Board of Trustees and
President Muse," Steagall said.
Me said the feeling of warmth, loyalty
and school spirit has stayed the same'1
throughout the years!"'
"Auburn never changes, it is something
that stays in you forever," he said.
Steagall, a native of Abbeville, Ala., is a
graduate of Auburn and the University of
Alabama School of Law.
He began practicing law in Ozark in
• 1951. He served in the Alabama
Legislature from Dale County from 1954-
70. Steagall served as executive secretary
to Gov. George Wallace from 1975-79 and
as state finance director from 1983-86.
Wallace appointed him to the Supreme
Court of Alabama.
"He is a fine fellow and great
American," Wallace said. "He is one of
the best men I have ever had in my cabi­net."
Steagall assumed the office of associate
justice on May 1,1986. He was elected
to_the office fn 1988 for a six-year term,
and retired on Jan. 16,1995.
He is a member of the First United
Methodist Church in Ozark and a former
chairman of its administrative board.
Steagall is a charter member and past
president of the Ozark Rotary Club. He
was a member of the Auburn Board of
Trustees from 1971-1987 and served as
president pro tempore.
Steagall has followed and started a
family tradition. His uncle served in the
United States Congress from 1914 until
his death in 1943. His grandfather and
great grandfather both served in the
Alabama Legislature.
Auburn is a part of that family tradi­tion.
Steagall's wife, the former Frances
Rector, taught at Auburn. His oldest son,
Henry III, graduated from Auburn, while
"Auburn never changes, it is something that
stays in you forever."
— HENRY STEAGALL<
Former Alabama Supreme Court Justice
his daughter, Susan, received her master's
degree from Auburn.
His youngest son, Fred, attended
Auburn and graduated from Auburn
University at Montgomery.
The selection process for honorary
degrees is elaborate with only the best
receiving degrees.
"Justice Steagall is only about the 130th
person to receive an honorary degree,"
Board of Trustees Secretary Gerald

Leischeck said. "A nomination is given to
the president, then to the Board."
Leischeck said the nomination lies on'
the table for one year, to make sure the
person is deserving.
The executive committee votes by secret'
ballot, and nine votes are required to*
award the degree.
"He survived a rather, rigid p|Cjces^ and
will be awarded at graduation," Leischeck •

Local Methodists build clinic in Kenya
• JENNIFER WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
• A small village two hours from
the nearest city. No air condition-
: ing in the face of stifling heat and
humidity. Drawing drinking water
from a well. Hand-washing every
article of clothing. Sound like pun­ishment?
Believe it or not, it's
• Emily Burch's dream trip.
For three weeks, Burch, 04SW,
i will endure the elements and go
• without the comforts of home to
be part of a mission team going to
, Mamba, Kenya, to build a medical
, facility.
On Aug. 29, she will be one of 21
people from the Auburn Wesley
Foundation, a Methodist ministry,
• making the trip to Africa.
Burch said, "The church is a part
« of my life that is very dear to me.
- Religion is something that's very
special and important to me."
When the opportunity for a mis­sion
trip presented itself, Burch
jumped at the chance.
"I knew from the beginning that
I was going to have this opportu-
*! nity," she said.
"The first trip they took was
, when I was a freshman, and I
*knew I wasn't ready then. I was
having a hard time simply adjust-
^ing to Auburn, so there was no
k way I was going overseas. But this
£ime I was ready, and I was thank­ful
that I was chosen," Burch said.
Her gratitude, however, may be
"tested by several weeks of back-breaking
construction work. She
•won't be the first to endure such
'hardships.
! Burch said the building of the
, medical facility and the efforts to
,get medical care to the villagers
has been in the making for more
than a decade. Several years ago, a
pastor in Mamba made the mis­take
of distributing over-the-counter
medication to his parish­ioners.
The Kenyan government
jailed him. It was there he met
Methodist missionaries who con­ducted
church services for the
.inmates. Thus began the long task
bf trying to get medical care to
Mamba.
"In 1990, a team from the
"Auburn Wesley Foundation went
CONTRIBUTED

to Mamba and constructed a med­ical
dispensary," Burch said. "It
had been started by the people in
the village, but they were unable
to complete it because of lack of
funds."
Currently, the Kenyan govern­ment
provides the dispensary
with a medical worker four or five
days a week. The dispensary pro­vides
the villagers with prenatal
care, sex education, birth control
and immunizations. Although the
village has a population of about
500, the dispensary serves as
many as 4,000 people from neigh­boring
areas.
However, because there is not a
full-time, on-site medical worker,
the facility cannot legitimately be
called a medical clinic. This is
where Burch and the other mis­sion
team members come in.
"Our main purpose is to con­struct
a dormitory where the full-time
medical worker will live,"
she said.
With the addition of a full-time
worker, the dispensary will
become a full-fledged medical
clinic.
The work Burch and her peers
will be doing will be hands-on and
will include mixing cement and
laying large coral blocks.
However, they will receive assis­tance
from a local technical col­lege.
"We haven't had any train­ing,"
Burch said.
"There is a technical school that
consists of high school and col­lege-
age men who are learning
masonry and practical construc­tion
methods. They are going to
teach us how to build the build­ing."
In addition to the students from
the technical college, the team will

also receive help from the con­struction
coordinator for Habitat
for Humanity in Seattle, Wash.
Burch and the other members of
the team will not be living in the
village during construction.
"It would strain the village too
much for us to stay there. We will
stay in a camp and drive in about
45 minutes every day, but the
camp is right on the water. We'll
get to walk from our bed right out
to the Indian Ocean," she said.
Burch's desire to help people is
evident and was fostered by her
parents who have taken similar
mission trips.
"My dad is a veterinarian and is
involved with Christian
Veterinary Missions. He went to
Costa Rica several years ago to see
members of that organization,"
Burch said. "Then a few years ago,
my parents spent several weeks in
the Dominican Republic on a mis­sion.
Burch is adamant about the
motivation behind the group's
decision to go to Mamba.
"These people are our friends,
not just random people we were
assigned to," she said. "It's a joint
effort. We'll work together, we'll
sweat together and we'll eat
together. It's not about us going
over there to fix somebody else's
problem."
At this point, much of the
group's energy has been directed
toward raising the money for the
trip, which will cost between
$3,500 and $4,000 per person. Most
of the money has come from dona­tions.
"We raise the money as a team
because there are others on the
team just as excited about going
and just as motivated to work
toward it, but don't have the same
support."
After their work on the facility is
finished, the group will spend sev­eral
days on safari in the national
parks.
It's also an experience Burch
hopes to parlay into a profession.
"I'm headed into the field of
Christian education, and I'd love
to be in a position where I'd have
the opportunity to lead mission
teams," she said.

OUR VIEW
Back to the Classics
With all the
excitement
of the 1992
Centennial Auburn football
season, an Auburn tradition
of more than 20 years died
without a tear, a riot or even
a farewell celebration.
The classic Auburn football
tickets displayed a Phil Neel
cartoon of Aubie facing off
with the mascot of whoever
Auburn was playing that
week.
One of the more memo­rable
drawings was of Aubie
driving the Ramblin' Wreck
of Georgia Tech.
The tickets were always
tasteful and usually did little j
to alienate the other team by
demeaning its mascot. After all, the other
team's fans might to want to keep the tick­ets,
too.
The great thing about the tickets was they
separated Auburn from other schools we
played because their tickets were more often
than not far less exciting than Auburn's.
For one reason or another, after the cen­tennial
year, the Athletic Department kept
using the picture tickets. These tickets have
been decorated with pictures
of cheerleaders, Aubie, Tiger
Pause and Coach Bowden.
All of these subjects are
^ t certainly photogenic and
J w worthy of being on a ticket,
but not nearly as original as
the classic Neel cartoons.
Some fans could be seen
with every cartoon ticket ever
created tucked into the band
of a tacky plaid chapeau.
This year the Athletic
Department has brought back
the classic cartoon tickets in
memory of former ticket
manager Bill Beckwith, who
died last spring.
Among the many great
things Beckwith did for
Auburn during his 43 years
in the Athletic department
was to requisition Neel to do
the ticket center.
The Athletic Department also hopes Neel
will help them with new designs when
Auburn plays new teams in the future.
Bottoms up (for now)
It's almost here — football season.
Faithful fans will be pouring in by the
Winnebagoload to come and join the
festivities.
With coolers in hand, these partygoers
will be stocked and set to tailgate before the
big game.
And so the hypocrisy begins.
According to Capt. Melvin Owens of the
Auburn University Police Department,
Auburn "is a dry campus all the time."
Even when dozens of fans can be seen on
gamedays double-fisting Buds?
Owens says the police department has to
"prioritize." Officers have to be able to deal
with assaults and other more pressing issues
before dealing with alcohol on campus.
However, Owens could not say how many
more pressing calls officers usually get on
gameday.
So, when police do get around to those
who are breaking the dry campus rule what
is the punishment?
Wavering on the fence, Owens said there
is no hard and fast rule. He said it is up to
the individual officer.
This could be a problem if a spirit sipper
has a run in with a disgruntled police officer
having a bad day.
Obviously this rule is not a fair one.
The University had no problem with stat­ing,
"The possession, consumption or serv­ing
of alcoholic beverage is prohibited on
the main University campus."
Why not go a little further and enforce it?
If a student were to stroll across campus
with a glass of Chardonnay on a non-game-day,
would she get the same treatment as
those who were lugging coolers full of brew
on gamedays? Probably not.
As far as prioritizing, the department sure
doesn't worry about sending several officers
to confiscate liquor from the student section
during games while affluent alums sip cock­tails
in skyboxes.
We believe what is good for the goose is
good for the gander.
The University should pick a side of the
fence. If this is indeed a "dry campus all the
time" it should actively be so during football
season.
Until that time, we at the Plainsman will
drink a toast to you on gameday.
Cheers!
Of Southern summer memories, magic
As a child, I never quite under­stood
summer's attraction.
In fact, I was always drawn to
cold weather. There's nothing
like seeing your breath on a cold,
crisp winter's evening or warm­ing
your hands by a crackling
fire.
I always enjoyed making snow
angels more than building sand
castles. Drinking hot cider was
better than iced tea.
When I was a little girl I used
to tell my family about how I was
going to move to Alaska and live
in a winter wonderland where
there would always be a fire
burning and enough snow to
build a race of snowmen.
But as I grew, things changed.
Living in the Deep South has
heightened my awareness of the
beauty of the summer season.
I now look forward to the days
becoming longer and the way the
evenings are lit with the soft
glow of fireflies.
STEPHANIE MORRIS
So many things change and
grow more beautiful in the sum­mer.
I have noticed the way people's
smiles become more genuine in
the warm weather, like they
share a secret, a common thread.
I look forward to green leaves
and honeysuckle, magnolia blos­soms
and the crickets' endless
symphonies.
In the midst of the hustle and
bustle of work and school, I can't
help but stop and smile a wide,
nostalgic smile when I hear the
redundant melody of the ice
cream truck in the distance. It
reminds me that winter may be
spectacular, but summer is
enchanting.
Summer is tire swings and
roller skates, long talks on porch­es
and long walks at dusk. It's
catching tadpoles and June bugs
and softballs. It's reading
Faulkner and understanding it.
It's magical.
When I was faced with decid­ing
where to go after Auburn,
these thoughts filled my mind.
Would there be such magic
anywhere else? Would there be
June bugs and porch swings?
Would there be snow cones and
sweet tea? Would the air smell
the same after the rain? Would
the sunset be as rewarding at the
end of a long day? Would the
people share such a common
thread?
I couldn't answer these ques­tions,
and I'm not sure I want to
find out.
I have decided not to take my
chances.
If I have to choose between
Salinger and Faulkner, I'll take
Faulkner.
Though sugarplum dreams of
New England may dance in my
head, the cricket symphonies
will always drown them out.
And there's something about the
Southland in the springtime, where
the waters flow with confidence and
reason. Though 1 miss her when I'm
gone, it won't ever be too long till
I'm home again to spend my favorite
season. When God made me born a
Yankee, he was teasin.' There's no
place like home and none more
pleasin' than the Southland in the
springtime.

Having been born with the
unnatural talent for almost-inevitable
success, I often find it
difficult to understand the wor­ries
of my fellow graduates.
Getting a job, moving away —
these things don't concern me.
I am confident my experience
at The Plainsman has prepared me
for just about any position at a
newspaper. I think I'll start
working for the Associated Press
covering late-breaking news as it
happens around the world. From
the Kremlin to the White House
I'll rove, writing stories for the
wire and drawing graphics for
USA Today.
Once the excitement has worn
off (as I'm sure it will), I'll
become an ambassador to some­where
like Ghana or the United
Nations, spreading peace to the
nations of the world. But how
many peace prizes can I win
before I run out of space on the
mantle?
I could run for president, but
ASHLEY WRIGHT
who wants it? Besides, I would­n't
be old enough.
No, I think I'll then do some­thing
a little more relaxing, like
deep-sea treasure hunting off the
Ivory Coast or anthropological
studies on the natives of Sri
Lanka.
I'll build bridges across jungle
rivers and bridge the gap
between political parties.
By the time I'm 50,1 will have
climbed to the summit of Mt.
Everest, done skating tours with
Champions on Ice, deciphered
hieroglyphic cave paintings and
written my first book,The Secrets
of Love: An Intimate Portrait of the
American Couple.
I'll win a Grammy, a Tony, an
Academy Award and the Georgia
lottery.
I'll make corporate mergers
and hostile takeovers.
I'll bake low-fat burgers and
mean turnovers.
I'll be a hairdresser and
astrologer to the stars.
I'll find Elvis and the Loch
Ness Monster, then take them
with me on a world tour.
I'll start a chain of hotels in the
most beautiful ports-of-call. I'll
photograph plant life for National
Geographic and night life for the
National Enquirer.
Maybe I'll come back to
Auburn as a professor of history,
botany and racquetball — you
know, share what I have learned
with the students of my alma
mater, so they may go forth with
a small part of the knowledge I
will have attained.
I'll take up carpentry and con­struct
multi-level tree houses in
my spare time. I'll explore the
canyons of Jupiter's second moon
and save humanity from a band
of nasty aliens.
I'll develop new technologies
for fiber optics and discover the
cure for the common cold. I'll
uncover illegal smuggling opera­tions.
I'll rid the world of cockroach­es
and the threat of dangerous
ultra violet waves.
I think I'll retire just long
enough to write my memoirs,
then it's off to something else.
Who knows — maybe I'll paint
graffiti on city walls or grow cof­fee
beans on tropical plains.
But for now, I think I'll just
graduate and ponder where life's
road will lead me first.
I think I'll end with a song ...
Fame!
I'm gonna live forever.
I'm gonna learn how to fly ...

Making squat
can't quash
journalist's
happiness
Well, I got a harmonica job, I'm • gonna play,
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a , |
day,
Blow it inside out and upside
down,
Man there said he loved my sound. ,
He's ravin' about it, he loved my
sound.
Dollar a day it's worth. ^J
— Bob Dylan
"Talkin' New York"
I'll be making less on my first
job than I did unloading a flower
truck in the ninth grade.
Granted, Phil the florist was '
paying me way too much, and I
hope to get more hours in per day;
than the two or three I used to
squeeze in after school.
But the politicians like to threat-'*
en the general public by remind- f v
ing us today's collegians could be
the first in American history not »
to fare as well as their parents.
My parents fared spiffily They
don't live the fabled catbird seat.
But they do have invisible fencing
in the yard, and my sister and I
learned how to drive in a mini-van.
My future is, of course, still
blurry, but journalists are not
known for making the big bucks.
In short, I probably won't be mak­ing
as much money as did the
generations before me.
As I complete my last few days
of academia, I recall all the people i
who in a fit of concern for my
future would tell me to change
majors quick so I couldearn more.
"You won't even be able to feed
a family on a journalist's salary," I
they would warn.
"Lawyers make money. Doctors
make money. Engineers and busi- J
nesspeople make money.
Journalists make squat!"
How am I going to be happy in
my life if I'm always worried
about how much money I am
making and if it will be enough to
feed my children?
In all honesty, I don't know. I
tell myself happiness isn't neces­sarily
linked to how much money
one makes.
But the reality is I will definitely rj
have to make some serious, per­u
manent lifestyle changes so that I
will be able to live comfortably
within a new set of means.
I felt guilty for a long time
about spending so much of my
parents' money coming to college. ,jj
They always told me it was no
big deal because I could repay
them by doing the same for my
own children. Of course, this
means I'll have to get some chil­dren.
I am certain I could be relatively,]!
happy making squat for the rest
of my life. People who make
squat still live in houses and go
on picnics, and I could be happy
with that.
But my drive to do better and
make more money and happiness q
for myself will probably come
from my desire to repay my par­ents.
I have wanted children for as
long as I can remember, but my
concern was always with my abil­ity
to provide for them.
Maybe that's what it is all
about. Find something you like to
do. Get a job doing it. Have some
young'uns. Send them to college
with the money you make at your jj
job where you do something you
like. Then you are happy.
I can handle that.

^SGA president refutes editorial, defends self
Editor, The Plainsman
i
* I am writing in response to the editorial
and cartoon in the Aug. 15 edition of The
*Auburn Plainsman, which accused me of
/'sporadic attendance" at University meet­ings.
I would like to assure our student
body I am attending every meeting I can
possibly attend. I will, however, miss an
occasional meeting for a test or in the
event two or more meetings are scheduled
* at the same time. I have not and will not
•negligently miss meetings.
I, along with many others, was quite
.surprised to see both the article and car­toon
last week. I found it disturbing The
Auburn Plainsman would use half a page of
editorial space to comment on two meet­ings
that happened over four months ago.
" It was impossible for me to attend these
two meetings; therefore, I asked a fellow
4 Student Government Association officer to
work as a proxy.
I also found it strange The Auburn
Plainsman decided to criticize my decision
to send Bayless Ydel to two meetings by
stating he has "more often than not" been
my proxy. This seemed strange consider­ing
these are the only two meetings at
which he has served as a proxy, while Vice
President Laura Palmer has been asked by
me to serve on entire committees and
cross-functional teams.
Just as The Auburn Plainsman could not
function as a quality newspaper if the edi­tor
were the only one reporting and writ­ing
stories, your SGA cannot reach its goal
without the effort of an entire staff.
I am certainly not above criticism and
respect The Auburn Plainsman's need to
criticize me. However, these charges are of
no substance and thus serve little purpose.
If there is disagreement about how I have
represented our student body on a certain
issue, I welcome harsh editorials. Through
dialogue about campus problems we will
be able to generate new and better solu­tions.
However, it serves no purpose to
lash out with unmerited charges.
I have the utmost respect for journalism
and appreciate its purpose in society. I fur­ther
realize it is not my job to tell journal­ists
how to run their publications.
However, it is the job of journalists to tell
me how I am doing my job. This is a nec­essary
ingredient for any democratic soci­ety.
Nevertheless, it is quite damaging and
serves no purpose to wrongfully accuse
someone. By slandering two officers of
your SGA, you have hurt our student
voice. Students and faculty members alike
have lost faith in our student government
because of an unwarranted editorial and
cartoon. However, your SGA was not the
only loser in this editorial.
The Auburn Plainsman was also hurt.
Every faculty member and student who
knows of the countless meetings and com­mittees
I have attended and strongly repre­sented
our student body at now questions
the value and integrity of The Auburn
Plainsman. By hurting our student voice
and by hurting The Auburn Plainsman, the
cartoon and editorial have hurt Auburn.
I want to work to make Auburn a better
place not a weaker place. Both your SGA
and The Auburn Plainsman can be great and
powerful entities if used properly.
Thomas Jefferson once said if he had to
choose between either having newspapers
or government he would choose newspa­pers.
I will still have to agree.

Reader: Writer distorts
facts in racism column
Editor, The Plainsman:
In regard to the article on Aug.
8 titled "Racism hits home for
columnist," I witnessed the
events. After reading the article I
have never been so enraged. The
girl in question was not pushed
* to the ground nor was beer
thrown in her face. Moreover, Jay,
»the black man, began the whole
^incident by intentionally spraying
beer on a member of the other
tgroup. The group of "white fra-iternity
brothers" repeatedly
asked for an apology, which Jay
was reluctant to give.
Regarding injuries, Jay was
never slapped across the face. In
his befuddled state, I don't think
'jay would have stood up to a
blow of any caliber. The bruises
the girl received were likely from
'running into chairs while advanc­i
n g at the "fraternity" guys.
Finally, the Greeks were never
asked to leave the bar.
•Apparently, the Workers at the
bar agreed that the Greeks did
,not instigate the trouble.
My problems with the article
are simple. First, facts were not
correct. Second, the author
accused the other group of stereo­typing
black people or being
racist. However, this pompous
labeling of the others as "white
fraternity brothers" is just another
form of stereotyping, is it not? All
< the gibberish about brothers pro-
' tecting brothers is nonsense. One
of the guys was being bothered,
.and his friends stood up for him.
In fact, none of the "white" guys
were even wearing fraternity
shirts. How did the author know
they were in a fraternity? He
assumed it! Or, does stereotyping
not count when it is politically
correct? Third, the claim that the
word "nigger" should "never be
used" and is offensive to the
author is whining. The word is
used in movies and songs. Let's
not pretend to be naive.
No effort was made to establish
the actual facts of the event.
Rather, the issue was used to
cram another chapter of "the hor­rible,
racist, elitist Greeks on our
campus" down everyone's
throats. That article was one of
three regarding racism in the
Plainsman. Shouldn't an award-winning
paper actually report
news? Please, stop printing so
many articles on the hackneyed
premise of racism. That topic has
lost its luster. I am disgusted that
the author would trample the
truth to launch his personal
lugubrious plea for galactic racial
harmony.
This type of journalism nause­ates
me. The author bent the facts
of the case to fit his means. In
improving race relations, isn't
telling the truth to each other the
key issue? Well, I don't believe
his will to improve race relations
is genuine, because the author
lied about the truth to serve his
own means and defend his
friend; truth be damned.
Make no mistake, the facts
were distorted to benefit one side,
not used to understand and solve
the problem. Facts, unlike opin­ion,
are not open to interpreta­tion.
For future reference, base
your opinion on fact, not the
other way around.

Theater fails to accommodate all
Editor, The Plainsman:
Given the opportunity to gain extra credit for an
English class, I attended a performance of Blithe
Spirit at Telfair Peet Theatre. As a single mother,
my two-year-old son had to go with me. Unaware
of the admission fee for children, I tried several
times to reach the ticket office during its hours of
operation. I was constantly connected to voice
mail; therefore, not only was my question not
answered, but apparently the theater ticket office
has no way of accommodating customer questions
prior to performances. I even tried Foy Union, and
once again, no one knew the admission fee for chil­dren
at Telfair Peet Theatre.
I was shocked and outraged when I arrived at the
theater ticket office before the performance and was
informed that I would have to pay $8 for myself as
well as for my two-year-old son! During the per­formance,
I was unable to take notes for my extra
credit assignment because the seats at Telfair Peet,
like the prices, do not accommodate small children.
My son had to sit on my lap throughout the entire
two-and-a-half-hour performance.
Why is it that children pay adult prices at Telfair
Peet? The theater hurts its attendance when it
charges children, students and senior citizens the
same price. I should have paid a reduced admis­sion
price not only for my child, but also for myself
as a student. Staggered admission pricing is not
only a standard practice for all other University-related
events but for most theaters as well. Telfair
Peet should implement appropriate diversity in its
prices just as other event organizers and theaters
do. Students on limited budgets are forced to miss
out on cultural activities when such outrageous fees
are charged, which serves to reinforce the stereo­typical
opinion that culture brings to the elite.
It's obvious Telfair Peet does not advertise that it
does not have varying prices to accommodate stu­dents,
children and seniors. Perhaps it uses this
lack of advertisement strategically to increase its
profits. After all, how many students with children
and/or elderly parents or grandparents would go
to Telfair Peet if they knew each person would have
to pay a standardized $8 price? Perhaps if Telfair
Peet changed this operating practice it might expect
not only greater profits, since the theater would be
an attractive option for a diverse range of people,
but also an increase in customer satisfaction.
As a working mother, I may not fit into the cate­gory
of what Auburn considers the average college
student. As the sole provider for my household, I
work two jobs. Paying an adult price for my two-year-
old son was unfair. Yet, my experience with
Telfair Peet was not merely a matter of financial
inconvenience. Its failure to vary admission prices
to accommodate student diversity is an act of dis­crimination.

Heavy taxes burden budget
Editor, The Plainsman:
Our true choice is not between
tax reductions on one hand and
the avoidance of large federal
deficits on the other. An economy
hampered by restrictive tax laws
cannot produce enough revenues
to balance our budget.
Who does that sound like?
Reagan? Dole? Kemp? That quote
was from John F. Kennedy, who
knew if you want to balance the
budget you not only can cut
taxes, but you have to.
The way to properly balance
the budget is the same way the
Republicans are doing it. In their
plan, instead of increasing the
budget of each item in the federal
budget by 10 percent like we do
now, you increase it by a smaller
amount. No cuts. Just reductions
of increases. However, since the
budget is still growing, you need
sustained economic growth to
cover these increases and lower
taxes because if a family's tax lia­bility
increases without an
increase in its income, it suffers a
new loss and will change its
behavior to minimize that loss.
This behavior change will result
in less money in the economy and
lower economic growth. For
example, after Clinton's tax
increase, the economic growth
rate was an anemic 2.5 percent.
A tax cut does the exact oppo­site.
It causes economic growth
because it lets a family keep more
of the money it earns. This extra
money then enters the economy
in the form of more products
bought or more money invested.
With this extra money, compa­nies
are able to invest money into
research and development and
create new products; because of
the extra demand for products it
will have to hire more people.
The net effect is economic growth
in the marketplace which actually
results in more revenue coming
into the government than before
the tax cut. That may sound hard
to believe, but it is true. Kennedy
lowered taxes, and revenue
increased. Reagan lowered taxes
and revenues increased (but we
spent even more). A tax cut gives
the kind of economic growth that
we have to have if we are to bal­ance
the budget.
Everybody asks how the tax cut
will be paid for. Some will come
from the increase in revenues that
result from the tax cut and the
rest from the reductions of
increases mentioned earlier.
Let's detour a bit and look at
the phrase 'paying for a tax cut.'
This term implies the government
is giving something back to the
people, but we must remember
that it really works in the oppo­site
direction. The people work
hard to earn the money that is
spent in Washington. A tax cut is
letting people keep more of their
money, not the government giv­ing
money to the people. The
only money the government has
comes from the people and that is
an important concept to remem­ber.
The government by itself has
no money nor does it earn any
money. Its money is derived from
the people, and we have gotten to
the point where if people want to
keep more of the money they
earn, they are called greedy under
the incorrect assumption that the
government knows better how
the spend their money than the
people who earned it.
In summary, not only can we
balance the budget and cut taxes
but we have to have the economic
growth that comes whenever you
cut taxes in order to have the rev­enue
coming into the government
to be able to balance the budget.
These are the concepts that Dole
and Kemp understand and one of
the reasons they should be in the
White House.

Reader notes inaccuracies
in Sports editor's column
Editor, The Plainsman:
A very disturbing column by
sports editor Jeremy Holloman
appeared in the Aug. 15 issue.
The subject of the piece, the
writer's undying devotion to the
New Orleans Saints, was not the
problem; but rather, it was his
glaring inability to accurately
state certain facts that not only
took away from the impact of his
column, but also gave readers an
unfavorable image of the paper
as a whole.
The first inaccuracy I noticed
in the column concerned the
writer's recollection of his
beloved Saints' first playoff
game. He stated that the Saints
"scored first, only to get
destroyed by the Chiefs in the
end." If he has truly been a
Saints' fan all his life, as he
claims in the column, he would
realize the New Orleans Saints
are in the National Football
Conference. Since the Kansas
City Chiefs are in the Amrican
Football Conference, the two
teams could only meet in the
postseason in the Super Bowl —
not in the team's first playoff
game in history, which would
have to be against an NFC oppo­nent.
The second error involved the
writer's statement that the
Baltimore Orioles once "lost 30
games to start the season with an
0-30 record, the worst ever." This
is just plain incorrect; the Orioles
actually lost 21 consecutive
games to begin the 1988 season,
the worst start in major league
history (source: The Sporting
News Complete Baseball Record
Book, 1995 edition).
He went on to reveal a little
known fact that the Orioles "fin­ished
the season with a better
record than the Braves did that
season." Perhaps it is "little
known" because it is not true;
the Braves finished 54-106 in
1988, while Baltimore went 54-
107, a half game worse than
Atlanta (source: Total Baseball,
Third Edition).
Maybe Holloman was so
focused on his point that he did­n't
bother to research his "facts."
However, as sports editor, he
should be concerned with his
own column.
In his concluding paragraphs,
Holloman said, "I don't get up in
the morning and check the
sports section to see which team
I'll root for that day." Maybe not,
but he should start by checking
the sports section to see what the
facts are. He closes by urging the
readers to "pick out a team and
stick with it through it all." Next
time, he should follow his own
advice and stick with his column
through all the research required
to get the facts straight.

Broken main leaves Webster's Crossing dry*
• TAMARA MOSER
Assistant News Editor
It might not have been raining
in Auburn last Thursday evening,
but it was at Webster's Crossing
Mobile Home Park when thou­sands
of gallons of water came
shooting out of its water main.
The 170 residents of the park
located on Webster Road,
Auburn, had no running water
from Thursday evening until
Friday evening because the water
main had been broken at lot 701,
said Robin Taylor, the Webster's
Crossing manager.
"The resident at lot 701 had
dug three feet into the ground
with post hole diggers for a fence
he was building when he hit the
water main," Taylor said.
The park has a strict policy that
no holes can be dug or structures
built without first checking with
the management, he said.
"This is not allowed because a
gas line or the water main could
be hit," Taylor said. "We have to
make sure the construction is not
close to either of these."
The huge spout of water was
reported by neighborhood chil­dren
and the park's maintenance
crew immediately began work.
They worked for 16 hours
straight, Taylor said.
Rex Griffin, an engineer at the
Water Works Board, said
Webster's Crossing called the
board because it couldn't get the
main fixed and it needed a pri­vate
contractor to help.
"We were not involved in any t
of it because it is a private water
line," Griffin said.
He said it is normal for a water
line to be 30 inches to three feet
under the ground, "but there are I
no requirements because Auburn t
does not have a freeze problem."
Taylor said the resident at lot »
701 would be responsible for payi'
ing for all damages. i*
The man who broke the water \
main refused to comment.

Roofies on rise: beware date rape drug of choice
f. There is a new drug on the
I streets, and it's causing quite a
I stir. Known under names like
roofies, roaches, R-2 and Mexican
Valium, Rohypnol (fluni-trazepam)
is reportedly becoming
the "date rape drug of choice."
Rohypnol is a potent tranquiliz-
I er similar in nature to Valium, but
is many times stronger. Rohypnol
is not prescribed in the United
I States, but is available in Mexico,
I which, along with Colombia, pro-lyides
most of the illegal
[Rohypnol smuggled into the U.S.
When used with alcohol, mari­juana,
cocaine or other drugs,
[Rohypnol can produce a rapid
land dramatic high. The drug's
[effects begin within 30 minutes,
eak within two hours and may
•ersist up to eight hours or more,
•depending on the dosage.
Users can appear extremely
intoxicated, with slurred speech,
poor coordination and loss of bal­ance
and can have blackouts from
eight to 24 hours long. The intoxi­cation
closely resembles severe
alcohol intoxication.
The reason Rohypnol is referred
to as "the date rape drug of
choice" is the drug so closely
mimics alcohol intoxication and
the extended period of blackout
following use.
Police departments in several
parts of the country report some
people slip the drug into another
person's alcoholic drinks, causing
the unwitting drinker to appear
extremely intoxicated and black­out,
only to wake up later in
unfamiliar places, often to discov­er
they have been sexually
assaulted or raped while under
the influence of the drug.
The dangers of Rohypnol don't
stop with rape or assault.
Rohypnol, combined with other
drugs, can lead to respiratory fail­ure
and death. When taken
repeatedly, the drug can lead to
physical and psy­chological
depen­dence,
including
symptoms of
anxiety, insomnia
and seizures.
Rohypnol is
commonly mis-perceived
as a
"safe" drug,
because it is
often sold in pre-sealed
packages
available in other
countries and because many mis­takenly
think Rohypnol cannot be
detected by urinalysis testing.
There is always the possibility
of being arrested and convicted
when dealing with illegal sub­stances.
Students should be careful
when in bars or at parties, or in
any situation where they may be
drinking any
beverage
because
Rohypnol may
be slipped into
drinks, alcoholic
or not, without
the drinker's
knowledge.
There are sev­eral
precautions
you can take in
order to reduce
the likeli­hood
you may become a victim of
Rohypnol:
•When going to a party, take
your own beverages and open
them yourself.
•If you like mixed drinks, bring
your own supplies and mix them
yourself.
•Don't accept drinks from other
people, unless they are in a sealed
container (a can or bottle) and
you open them yourself.
•Whether at a bar, a party or any­where
else, don't leave your open
beverages sitting around unat­tended.
•Don't drink from any open
drink or bottle that has been out
of your sight.
•Attend parties or go to bars with
a group of friends, and leave with
those same friends.
•Don't stay in any situations that
make you nervous or uneasy.
Your "hunch" things may not be
quite right could be correct.
None of these precautions will
protect you from all possibility of
becoming an unwitting user of
Rohypnol. However, the more •»
caution and common sense you j
use in these situations, the less j
likely you are to be a victim. Any
drug can cause short-term and ',
long-term difficulties, so the wis­est
approach is to avoid any •
drugs or situations where the ;
drugs might be used. |

Forestry department studies options for future
Students take classroom outside
:
[ • JEFFREY WILLIS
I Assistant News Editor
^"•The classroom for 53 Auburn
''students has been relocated this
"summer. Instead of having desks,
"Chalkboards and walls, it has
trees, bushes and wildlife.
^,-Xhe students, three of whom are
enrolled in a joint partnership
"between Auburn and Tuskegee
^Universities, are taking five class­ics,
in forestry this summer at the
5,300-acre Auburn Solon Dixon
Forestry Education Center.
The center is located in south-central
Alabama between
Andalusia and Brewton in the
Coftecuh National Forest, Rhett
Johnson, director of the center,
said.
"Hie main purpose of the pro­gram
is to teach forestry students
from Auburn, Johnson said, but
"we also teach forestry students
jfrom about 10 to 12 other universi-
;ties on a fairly regular basis."
"We also do a fair amount of
wildlife and forestry research
•here, usually in conjunction with
wildlife or forestry faculty on
campus, and occasionally with
scientists from other universities.
iSome of the research is indepen­dent
work we do," Johnson said.
; "Every forestry graduate from
jAubum is required to spend one
summer here," he said.
"In most instances this is their
first exposure to forestry. They
don't have any education at
Auburn prior to coming here," he
said. "They come here after their
sophomore year."
I The five courses are taught to
!the students one at a time. The
ifirst class, forest biology, is taught
SOT two weeks.
; It is followed by forest mea­surement
for one week, forest sur­veying
for three weeks, forest
-operations for one week and forest
management for one week. The
classes run from 8 a.m to 5 p.m.
each day.

Amanda Cooper, 03FY, said about

classes at the Auburn Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center.
the system. "You concentrate on
just one subject at a time, and you
can really put everything into
that."
Compared to the University's
classes, "I think they're much bet­ter,"
she said.
"You get a lot of hands-on expe­rience,
and you can actually get
out and see what's going on rather
than just hear about it in a book or
lecture."
"I came down here with a real
environment view. I didn't want
anybody to cut down trees, and 1
was going to go into forestry and
change the world," Cooper said.
"I wouldn't say that it has taken
away that from me, but it has also
opened up my mind a lot to new
approaches," Cooper said.
She said the forest is mostly
pine trees.
Ric Schober, 03FY, said they con­centrate
on field work in the for­est.
"I feel like I've learned a lot
more stuff that I will apply later
on down here than I did at the
University," Schober said.
"I'm sure that type of thing will
continue in the next two years up
there."..-.-:;.•')>;..J:.••'• ' ,**

with forestry since he was seven,
said, "It's really struck up your
interest more. You find out
whether you really like it or really
don't. It gives you a good idea of
what it will be like when you do
get out of school."
"This is my first exposure to
forestry and forestry operations,"
Andrea Parmer, 04FY, said. "I've
learned a lot about what really
goes on out in the field and what
foresters really do."
"It really broadens my interests
and it makes me want to learn
more about what all goes on with
forestry," she said.
"This is the technical side, and I
just want to continue broadening
my perspective on forestry,"
Palmer said.
Jeff Dewitt, 06FY, said this was
also his first experience in forestry.
"It's been extremely helpful and
probably invaluable as far as what
I'm going to use for the rest of my
career at Auburn and eventually
whenever I get into my working
career," he said.
"We're learning a wide range of
everything, just a lot of basic fact
principals," Dewitt said.
"As* far as->a working environ-';
ment, it's really good," he said.
Scott Enebak examines loblolly pine seedlings treated with strains of bacteria to prevent diseases.
Forester probes power of bacterium
• TAMARA MOSER
Assistant News Editor
Nationwide, crops and forestry nurseries are in
danger of life-threatening diseases if an alternative
disease control is not found to replace the current
ozone depleting method.
Scott Enebak, assistant professor and plant
pathologist in the School of Forestry, is researching
biological alternatives for controlling and prevent­ing
disease in trees.
The current substance used for disease control is
methyl bromide, a gas formed from carbon and bro­mide.
The gas is sprayed into the soil before the
seedlings are planted, and the bromide released
from the gas is believed to hurt the ozone, Enebak
said.
"The methyl bromide is an effective way to elimi­nate
pests, weeds, fungi and insects, but when it is
eliminated, the crops and trees will be in trouble,"
he said.
"I am looking at different strains of bacteria as
biological control agents that can protect the
seedlings in the soil," he said.
The bacteria strains being looked at are soil
inhabiting and produce carbon that protects the
roots from damaging pathogens, Enebak said.
"Instead o£ being sprayed into the soil, the bacte­ria
is directly applied to the seeds or seedlings
before they are planted," he said.
The strains are all different, some serving as a
barrier around the roots, others hiding the food
released from the roots, the pathogens are attracted
to and some producing antibiotics that kill the
pathogens.
"The strains of bacteria I am looking at are used
on crops such as peanuts, soy beans and cotton," he
said. "But there is no guarantee that these strains
will work on pine trees."
Enebak is conducting field studies on loblolly and
long leaf pines at the Solon Dixon Forestry
Education Center.
He is also doing a study in Camden, Ala., on
seedlings that have been treated with the bacteria
versus seedlings that have not. He is also doing
nursery studies on treated pine seeds.
In addition to the bacteria being disease con­trollers,
Enebak has found some strains cause larger
root masses and greater growth, while other strains
cause stunts in growth and root length, he said.
He said he will continue these studies for one to
three years and then start the process over again.
"If we can just get (the trees) to grow bigger and
have them healthy in three years, then we're doing
pretty well," Enebak said.
If the bacteria is a definite alternative, dosages
will be set and marketing will begin.
No one will gain monetarily if the studies are
successful, but "we all stand to gain if we can find
an alternative to methyl bromide," Enebak said. \

rhe Hogpen's grand opening success with fans, local talent
It was an impressive grand opening at
te Hogpen last Saturday night.
More than 400 music fans gathered
jtside the Auburn city limits to listen to
atowns, Spoonful James, The
tfustabouts, Big Fun and Ziggy.
The area appeared somewhat vacant
>nsidering the large capacity of the
nphitheater.
Since this was the first performance at
le Hogpen, it was exhilarating to see the
umber of music listeners that gathered
Wijoy the evening.
The night began with Big Fun, a cover
ind that played Pink Floyd, Allman
"#thers, Steppenwolf and a version of
Don't Bogart That Joint My Friend"
om the movie Easy Rider.
flowing the opening band were Ziggy
and Spoonful James. Ziggy was one of
the three cover bands in the show. After
Ziggy was an exciting performance by
Spoonful James.
Unlike the multiple cover bands that
performed throughout the evening,
Spoonful James played original songs.
All together, Spoonful James was the
most talented band at the grand opening
of the Hogpen.
The closing act, Iratowns, with a
unique sound of its own, drew many lis­teners
close to the stage. Iratowns added
an original sound, flavoring the expecta­tions
of a typical cover band.
All in all, the acoustics were phenome­nal
throughout the entire evening, espe­cially
since the stage was small and sim­ple.
Entering the amphitheater, it is easy to
see the possibilities of the Hogpen.
One aspect which made it quite enjoy­able
was the relaxed atmosphere.
Ticketholders brought tents, golf clubs,
coolers, Frisbees® and many dogs.
The dog owners among the crowd
allowed their dogs to run free, providing
amusement for many of the viewers.
Ticketholders brought their own beer.
One group transported its personal keg
into the amphitheater.
Considering the Hogpen is hidden on
the outskirts of Auburn, it was relaxing
and peaceful to watch the bands perform
on stage in a remote country atmosphere.
With the effort put into making this
grand opening a reality, it is clear the
Hogpen will see more well-known bands
in the near future.
These bands are just the beginning of
what is to come in the music scene at the
Hogpen.
Amazingly, the probable change in the
local music life of Auburn may attract
more music fans to the Hogpen.
I hope more locals will gather at next
week's show, which is expected to be
even better. Performing bands include
Toothless, the Quadrajets, Soul Champs,
Pain and Subterrific Chug-a-Lug.
Overall, the grand opening of the
Hogpen was a complete success. With
future support from area music fans, it
can do nothing but flourish.

Gil Renard meets his hero, Bobby
THE FAN
TriStar Pictures
It's always a pleasure to see
Robert De Niro portray a bad
guy, isn't it?
In The Fan, Gil Renard (De
Niro) is an overzealous San
Francisco Giants fan whose idola­try
of Bobby Rayburn (Wesley
Snipes) leads him into a realm so
sinister it changes the lives of
everyone associated with him.
After losing his job at the com­pany
his deceased father founded
and being restrained from seeing
his son by the court, the only con­crete
element left in Renard's life
is baseball.
Renard is particularly infatuat­ed
with Rayburn, who has just
left the Atlanta Braves to sign a
$40 million contract with the
Giants. Renard is not the only one
who loves Rayburn. The entire
city of San Francisco is enthralled
by the addition of the cocky four-time
RBI leader, that is until
Rayburn loses his lucky number
11 to Juan Primo (Benicio Del
Toro) and slips into the worst
slump of his major league career.
While San Francisco is ready to
give up on Rayburn, labeling him
a fluke, Renard returns his hero
to the spotlight by offing Primo.
With Prima out of the way and
Fran and-the" " ra

Rayburn, in Tony Scott's The Fan.
Giants casting suspicion on
Rayburn, he comes out of his
slump and regains the faith of the
fair-weather fans.
Renard wants credit, or "a sim­ple
thank you," for Rayburn's
comeback. When he finds out
Rayburn is not only ungrateful,
but doesn't care about the fans,
Renard snaps. Then the real game
begins.
As expected, De Niro puts on
an excellent performance. In the
beginning, you will be sympa­thetic
with the unlucky chap only
to find out he is as psycho, if not
more psycho, than he was in Taxi
Driver or Cape Fear.
Naturally, Snipes plays a cocky
baseball player well. Of course,
Snipes plays a cocky anything
well.
The movie is a little slow at
first, but this is all necessary to
build the plot. Once the plot is
built, the action is tremendous.
Director Tony Scott received
help from real major leaguers to
add to the reality of this flick. Cal
Ripken and John Kruk are among
the long list of baseball stars who
helped in the production of this
movie.
With reality taken care of, Scott
could concentrate on suspense.
He mastered it. This is the most
suspenseful movie of the year,
and I would strongly suggest see­ing
it on the big screen.

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST
Beats, Rhymes and Life
Jive Records
A Tribe Called Quest has defi­nitely
taken some lessons in
beats, rhymes and life since the
band's last album, Midnight
Marauder.
The lesson in beats is evident
from the superb mixing of Ali
Shaheed Muhammad.
Muhammad, who is consistent
with his mellow yet funky beats,
has done some successful experi­mentation
with them, setting this
apart from previous Tribe
albums.
The lesson in rhymes (not that
Q-Tip and Phife really needed a
lesson) is made overwhelmingly
clear by the more fluid lyrics of
the duo.
The lesson in life, Q-Tip states,
was delivered by "Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful," who
has allowed the band to basically
find itself.
Few bands have fused jazz and
rap as Tribe has, and they just
seem to get better at it with every
album.
As Phife so eloquently states in
track three, "Motivators," "Here
comes the funk, smell the
aroma/Kid, my shit's the bomb/
Ask my peeps in Oklahoma."
On "lnce Again," Q-Tip and
Phife reaffirm (the first affirma­tion
was on Low End Theory's '.
"Check the Rhime") that they are \
both "on point."
Tribe's quest to make music
that represents the band's new­found
maturity is a noble addi­tion
to its previous three alburns.
While it cannot surpass Low
End Theory, it competes valiantly,
making it the best rap album of
1996. Make tracks to your local
record store and pick up a copy
of Beats, Rhymes and Life.

"The Godfather of Grunge" is
back with Crazy Horse on the
band's latest release Broken Arrow.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse
have played together on and off
since 1969 and are one of rock 'n'
roll's longest-running musical col­laborations.
This is apparent in Broken
Arrow, which sounds similar to
every other album the band has
released.
I didn't like two tracks, an
acoustic slow song, "Music
Arcade," and a live cover, Jimmy
Reed's "Baby What You Want Me
To Do."
The live cover sounds like it was
recorded 500 miles from where the
band was playing. At first listen, I
thought my speakers were blown
out, causing the distant sound.
"Changing Highways" had
more of a country style than any
Young song I have heard, but it
still had Young's characteristic
guitar style and voice.
As for the rest of the album, it is
typical Neil Young.
Young's last album, Mirror Ball,
was recorded with Pearl Jam, and
his latest effort doesn't have the
same energy. It also doesn't have
the mix found on 1994's Sleeps
with Angels.
Young's fans will not be upset
by this album. It has some good
guitar riffs in it and Young's voice
is the same as it's always been.
The thing that upset me the
most about the album is that it
only has eight tracks. Young had
more than a year to record this,
and it seems like it could have had
more songs on it.
However, the tracks that are on
the album are good, and any fan
of Neil Young with Crazy Horse
should pick up Broken Arrow. )

Twelve Golden Country Greats is
Ween's fifth and latest release.
While definitely different from
previous albums, it is still unrru>-
takably Ween.
A lot of people aren't going to
like this, even some Ween fans,
because if you are expecting the
typical Ween album then you're
in for a surprise.
What you get instead is the
band's often hilarious drug-pro­pelled
attempt at country music.
It is not the Garth Brooks/
Billy Ray Cyrus type of country
music that swept the nation a few
years ago and continues to do so.
It is more similar to the Willie
Nelson/Kris Kristoferson singer-songwriter,
"lonesome cowboy"
style.
The album consists of 10 songs.
The opening track, "Holding
You," is a sentimental country
ballad with a Willie Nelson sound
to it.
Other such songs are "I Don't
Wanna Leave You On the Farm"
and "Powder Blue."
While most songs have that
undeniable country twang, there
are a few exceptions.
"Mister Richard Smoker" (think
about it), "You Were the Fool"
and "Fluffy" are among these.-
"Mister Richard Smoker"
sounds more like something from
the big band era and continues ;
Ween's tradition of crude and <
offensive lyrics.
Who knows why Ween decided
to produce a country album.
Perhaps it is all just a big joke ar(d
is intended to be a satire. Maybe;
the band grew bored and wantefl
to try something different.
But, if you decide not to listen-to
it because it sounds like coun­try
music, then you're missing *•
the point, and in the process, the
never-compromising, always-changing
band known as Ween..;
