record stores
pull album
from shelves
Kim Chandler
News Editor
Last week Gov. Guy Hunt
requested stores boycott the self-titled
album by thrash band Body
Count, fronted by rapper Ice-T,
because of the lyrical content of a
song entitled "Cop Killer."
In his radio address, Hunt asked
music stores in Alabama which still
sell the album to stop immediately
because he said the song "advocates
genocide" of police officers .
Hunt said he was calling for the
boycott after meeting earlier this
month with law enforcement offi­cers
concerned about the effect the
song might have."While we respect
the rights that anyone has under the
First Amendment to say what he or
she wants to say, we have the same
rights as the rap singer," Hunt said
• in his address.
"We have the right to speak out
against that kind of trash, and the
record stores have the right to stop
selling it."
The major music chains Trans
World Music Corp. and Super Club
Corp., which owns both Record Bar
and Turtles music stores,
announced two weeks ago that they
would pull the album from their
shelves.
Ice-T
Trans World Music Corp., which
operates more than 600 stores,
issued a press release in which it
said it was reluctantly pulling the
album because it "did not want to be
associated with the blunt message
expressed in the lyrics of 'Cop
Killer.'"
Super Club Corp. could not be
reached for comment.
Hunt also called for the coopera­tion
of the nation's governors to
encourage a nationwide boycott of
the album
According to Hunt's press office,
more than 1,000 record stores nation­wide
have stopped selling the album.
The album was released last
March, and Body Count performed
"Cop Killer" while on tour last
summer.
I got my twelve gauge sawed off.
I got my headlights turned off.
I'm 'bout to bust some shots off.
I'm bout to dust some cops off...
.... I got my stereo bumpin'.
I'm 'bout to kill me somethin'.
A pig stopped me for nuthin'!
-excerpt from "Cop Killer""
Steve Bronson, owner of Wild-man
Steve's Record and CD
Exchange, said he felt the suggested
boycott was generating sales for the
album and increasing its exposure
to the public.
"The actual effect of what
they've done is actually the oppo­site
of what they intended. In other
words, people aren't boycotting the
album. People are driving as far as
they have to go to get it because of
the controversy."
Bronson said he is continually
selling out of the album, and has
had people come in from as far as
Columbus and Montgomery in
search of it.
He said he didn't think the album
would have sold "half as much
without the surrounding controver­sy."
Ceremony welcomes Auburn's 15th president
Jason D. Smith
Staff Writer
The University's new president
was officially installed May 29 in a
ceremony at the Student Activities
Center.
President William V. Muse
spoke to a crowd of more than
1,000 people including faculty,
staff, students and representatives
from colleges and universities
across the nation.
Muse accepted the position that
he had been holding for the previ­ous
three months as acting presi­dent.
He was chosen to replace for­mer
President James E. Martin,
whose resignation took effect
March 1.
In his acceptance speech, Muse
outlined his vision for Auburn into
the 21st century, as well as his 10-
point plan that he said would help
Auburn reach its "goal of becom­ing
one of the nation's top public
universities.
"First, I see a university that is
true to its land-grant mission," he
said.
"Second, I see a university that
must not impose limits on its oper­ations
by a narrow definition of the
land-grant mission.
"Auburn should have strong pro­fessional
schools," he said, but he
also stressed the importance of
having a strong liberal arts pro­gram.
"Instruction in the liberal arts

and humanities provides the foun­dation
upon which entry into virtu­ally
every professional school is
based," he said, adding that these
programs "provide a vital human­izing
component to professional'
study."
Muse stressed ethnic, minority,
and international diversity as a tool
in Auburn's "obligation to prepare
students for the world in which
they are going to live and work.

Assistant News Editor
President William V. Muse
Earned Milo R. "Mike" Lude as
Auburn's new Athletic Director at
a press conference held June 12.
Lude, who will fill the position
vacated by Pat Dye, has 21 years of
experience as an athletic director
and is a former chairman of the
National Association of Collegiate
Directors of Athletics. He wasorig-inally
sought out by Muse in an
advisory role in the search for
Dye's successor.
"But the more that I learned
about Mike, the more I was con­vinced
that he had all the ingredi­ents
Aubum needed in an athletic
director," Muse said at the press
conference.
Lude resigned as Executive
Director of the Blockbuster Bowl
to accept the position at Auburn.
He served as Athletic Director at
Kent State University from 1970-
1976, then held the same position
at the University of Washington for
15 years. Under Lude's leadership,
Washington's athletic program
"was very successful financially
and was operated without major
NCAA violations," Muse said. The
school's football team won the
national championship last year.
He has served as Chairman of the
NCAA Football Rules Committee
since 1989 and won the Jim Corbett
Award as the nation's outstanding
athletic director in 1988.
Lude will be faced with the
imposing task of taking the reins of
a program that has been awash in
controversy in recent years.
Auburn's men's basketball and ten­nis
teams are already on probation
for NCAA rules violations and its
football team is under investigation
for allegedly making illegal pay­ments
to former Tiger defensive
back Eric Ramsey.
David Housel, assistant athletic
director for Sports Information, is
confident that Lude will be able to
do the job."He's a man of impecca­ble
integrity and tremendous ability
and enthusiasm, and I have no
doubt that he'll do a great job for
Auburn," said Housel, who was on
the director search committee.
"I think the fact that Mike Lude
was willing to come to Auburn is a
tremendous compliment to Auburn
and, especially, to Dr. Muse.
There's no doubt-that Lude has
already made a very significant
contribution to intercollegiate ath­letics
and has had a positive impact
on the lives of thousands of young
men and women," he said.
SGA Senate passes
AGLA resolution
SGA seeks
charter reversal
Kim Chandler
News Editor
The SGA Senate passed a resolu­tion
18-12 requesting the adminis­tration
rescind the Auburn Gay and
Lesbian Association's charter on
the grounds that the organization is
in violation of state sodomy and
sexual misconduct laws.
The resolution introduced by
SGA President Pat Sefton stated
that it was the belief of the Student
Senate that the AGLA was in viola­tion
of state law.
The resolution followed the pas­sage
of House Bill 454, a bill intro­duced
by Rep. Pete Turnham (D-Auburn)
prohibiting the use of state
funds by groups which advocate the
violation of state sodomy and sexu­al
misconduct laws.
Sefton said in light of the new
law he felt the University needed to
make a decision on the issue.
"I thought it was necessary that

_ ' - Board of trustees approve sliding scale admissions
J ^ | © W 1*1X1 Q\ policy as means of increasing minority enrollment
Kim Chandler
News Editor
The Board of Trustees unanimously
approved a sliding scale admissions
policy designed to increase minority
enrollment by allowing students with
lower standardized test scores to com­pensate
with higher high school
GPAs.
Previously, students were required
to have a score of 18 on the ACT and
a 2.0 high school GPA to be eligible
for admission.
The new scale expands eligibility to
students with a 17 ACT score if they
have a GPA of at least 2.5, and stu­dents
with a 16 ACT score if they
have a 3.0 GPA.
The scale, approved at the June 1
trustees meeting, will expand the field
of eligible minority applicants to 30
percent, President William V. Muse
said.He said minority students statisti­cally
tend to have lower standardized
test scores regardless of school perfor­mance
and a sliding scale is necessary
to compensate for this.
Muse said he felt the new policy
was in "no way" lowering standards,
but was making up for existing biases
in standardized tests.
The new scale is in response to a
ruling by U.S. District Court Judge
Harold Murphy that stated the Auburn
administration must take steps to fur­ther
integrate the campus. Part of the
ruling decreed Auburn must imple­ment
either a sliding scale or a condi­tional
admissions policy as a means of
increasing minority enrollment.
"We didn't have a lot of flexibili­ty,"
Muse said in an address to the
SGA senate last quarter.
"Judge Murphy's communication to
us was not a suggestion; it was an
order," he said.
The sliding scale has been used pre­viously
by the admissions department
on a case-by-case basis but will now
be an official, across- the-board poli­cy,
Charles Reeder, director of admis­sions,
said. The new scale was recom­mended
to the trustees by the Univer­sity
senate last quarter.
Formerly, a 2.0 GPA and a score of 18 on the ACT
were the minimun requirements for admission.

NEWS BRIEFS
Nation
Insults, profanations secure constitutional shelter
Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled the First Amendment does not permit
the government to prohibit certain kinds of speech on the basis of its con­tent.
The decision was handed down in the context of a suit brought on
behalf of a teenager who was accused of violating a 1989 St. Paul Minneso­ta
ordinance which criminalized offensive speech or behavior when he
burned a cross on a black family's lawn.
All nine justices agreed that legislatures may not pursue sexual, religious
or racial insults or threats as "hate speech" or "bias crimes." But the court
was split five to four over the question of whether some kinds of hate
speech are worse than others.
Because the St. Paul ordinance restricted only language that "communi­cated
messages of racial, gender or religious intolerance," Justice Antonin
Scalia said, "Selectivity of this sort creates the possibility that the city is
seeking to handicap the expression of particular ideas. The point of the First
Amendment is that majority opinion must be expressed in some fashion
other than silencing speech on the basis of its content."
World
South Africa approaches political devastation
Archbishop Desmond Tutu threatened Monday to campaign for South
Africa's expulsion from the Olympics following the murder of 42 black cit­izens
in Boipatong, a township south of Johannesburg. The renewed vio­lence
precipitated an indefinite end to the African National Congress' talks
with the government, during which President F.W. de Klerk rejected the
ANC's call for an international investigation into the violence in South
Africa.
United States explores ways to end Serbian conflict
Impatient with gratuitous violence and, particularly, the unmoving block­ade
of relief deliveries into Bosnia-Herzegovina, the United States and
other nations have held consultations with the United Nations Security
Council in order to persuade the Serbian -dominated Belgrade government
to capitulate.

summer because more people are on the road, and more
accidents occur. Unfortunately, blood donations decrease
because school is out and many people miss their company
drives because they are on vacation," said Jansen
Richardson, director of donor resource development.
The situation becomes critical during summer holidays,
such as July 4, because traffic accidents, as well as blood
usage.escalate in such a short period of time," Richardson
said.
This year, the Red Cross wants to prevent a July 4 blood
crisis. You can help us do this by remembering to "Give
Before You Go."

scheduled annual increases to keep
up with the inflation rate.
The increase is the result of both
rising operating costs and a state-imposed
6.5 percent education
budget proration.
The increase will mean that full-resources
could be compromised.
"The trustees are very reluctant to
raise the price," he said. However,
he noted that "without (the
increase), we could easily be
looking at terminating programs in
the University."
Vice President for Student Affairs

baying an additional $53 on, their very best we're looking at
tuition bill, bringing the total for a
full-time load to $585 per quarter.
: The increase was passed by the
Board of Trustees at its Jan. 27
meeting in Montgomery.
| The tuition hike will generate an
additional $4.5 million a year for
Auburn, which will go to partially
replenish funds decimated by
maintaining status quo," she said.
While not the most popular
solution, the tuition hike is one of
the few options available. An
increase, Barnes said, is not a
favorite choice.
"The Board of Trustees is
dedicated to keeping tuition as low
as possible," she said.
Auburn's tuition is still
competitive with other schools in
the region. Trustee and budget
committee chairman Jack Venable
calls Auburn "one of the best buys
in education in Alabama."
The only schools with lower
tuition and fees in the South are the
state university systems of Texas,
North Carolina and Florida.
These figures can be misleading,
however, Barnes said. The Texas
system is still heavily subsidized by
the oil industry in that state, and
state schools in North Carolina
receive a large sum from the
tobacco industry, she said. <
Ways to stem the effects of
proration and inflation are being
considered by the administration.
In 1990, Venable suggested
implementing small annual tuition
increases, instead of waiting until a
large hike is needed.

Honoraries' admission
procedures questioned
Kim Chandler
News Editor
A group of students is questioning
the fairness of the admissions
procedures of several campus
honoraries.
Ashley Wright, 02PO, said he felt
that he and several other qualified
students were denied admission
because of their political beliefs and
campus affiliations.
"I feel that the honoraries on
campus have been unnecessarily
politicized and that they no longer
take into account academic
achievement but only political
views."
He said he felt he was not
admitted to the sophomore honorary
Lambda Sigma because of his
outspoken views on campus.
Wright, summer chairman of
Students for Progress, was a
member of Freshmen Forum, had a
3;5 GPA at the time of application
and was involved with SGA.
Lambda Sigma requires a

unanimous vote among current
members for admission. Wright said
it had come to his knowledge that
his application was denied because
one member saw him as a
"troublemaker" and voted against
him.
"When you require a unanimous
decision, that just leaves room for
blackballing," Wright said.
SGA President Pat Sefton said he
had been made aware of the
complaints.
"It seems like there were people
who were not awarded membership
into these honoraries who had very
good qualifications," Sefton said.
"One person in particular had a
very high GPA, was involved in
tons of activities and was denied
membership into Cardinal Key.
"It seems to me that perhaps
admissions were denied because of
positions these people held on
campus, and in my opinion that is
wrong because honoraries arc just
that, they're honoraries and should
be based on merit and not on their
political beliefs."
Sefton said he plans to send a
letter to the honorary presidents
relaying the concerns.
Sefton said no further action is
planned because he feels he does not
have the right to interfere in the
admissions proceedings of
organizations to which he does not
belong.

The new dean
Bond discusses plans for Liberal Arts
Kim Chandler
News Editor
The new dean of Liberal Arts is
well acquainted with Auburn, to say
the least.
After more than 25 years with the
University and having more than
10,000 students in his history
classes, Gordon Bond has become
familiar with the needs of Auburn
and its students.
Bond, announced last quarter as
the replacement for Mary Richards
who left Auburn last year, will take
office July 1.
Acting Dean David R. Hiley will
take over as the dean of humanities
and sciences at Virginia
Commonwealth University also on
July 1.
In fact the reactions to my appointment have been
running half and half between congratulations and
condolences.'
-Gordon Bond
Bond takes his new office in what
he agrees is a challenging time for
higher education.
"In fact, the reactions to my
appointment have been running half
and half between congratulations
and condolences."
He said the challenge will be to
meet the growing demands on the
college while under the restraint of
proration.
Proration has required the college
to scale back its expenditures while
striving to meet the needs of the
expanded core curriculum and a
growing student body.
"Our challenge will be with
limited resources from state funding
to meet the demands of the students,
which of course is what we're all
about."
Bond says he enjoys interacting
with students and plans to continue
teaching his French history classes
in the fall.
Bond is a historian who
specializes in the French revolution
and the Napoleon years. He received
his doctorate in history from Florida
State University in 1966.
Gordon Bond
However, Bond did his
undergraduate work in business
after having more than a couple of
majors.
He said this enables him to relate
to the student who is having
difficulty with deciding on a major.
"I am very sympathetic when a
student comes in as a junior and
says 'I've had nine undergraduate
majors and I just don't know what I
want to do."*
Bond says he hopes students
appreciate the quality of the faculty
at Auburn.
He said he also hopes there is an
appreciation of the core curriculum,
which he views as an outstanding
attribute of the University.
"Every student that comes to
Auburn will be well-served by the
core."
"The idea behind the core is t<
give every student this commoi
experience and commoi
background. Our emphasis shoul<
be on an overall education and ho
just the narrow training iri
professional field."
During his years at Auburn, Bone
has served as head of the histor)
department, chairman of the faculty
senate and has also served on more
than 25 University committees.
Bond's wife Stephanie works in
the dean of education's office as a
information specialist
They have two children, Michael,
24, who received his master's
degree from Aubum, and Annie, 15,
a sophomore at Auburn High
School.
In addition to French history,
Bond enjoys basketball, tennis and
golf.

State legislature legalizes
use of wheel-locking
Kim Chandler
News Editor
The Alabama Legislature passed a
bill last May removing any doubt as
to the legality of wheel-locking,
Doug Watson, Auburn City
Manager, said.
The legislation, drafted by area
, representatives Joe Higginbotham
(D-Opelika) and Pete Turnham (D-Auburn),
changed the language in
existing laws to allow private
property owners the same right to
wheel-lock unauthorized
automobiles as they have to tow
them.
"All that I think was changed was
; where in existing state codes it did
say tow, it now reads tow or wheel-lock,"
Watson said.
A city ordinance requires property
owners to clearly post signs if they
plan to wheel-lock and must include
the name of the wheel-locking
company on the sign.
'Wheel-locking is better, but that is only when it
is done as a business and not a rip-off.'
_. -George Pridmore
A few Auburn residents have
questioned the legality of wheel-locking
at Auburn City Council
meetings during winter and spring
quarters.
George Pridmore, owner of
Pridmore Realty, said when it is
carried out properly, wheel-locking
is a much better method of parking
control than towing.
Pridmore said wheel-locking does
not present the risk of damage to the
car that towing does, and is a better
deterrent against unauthorized
parking.
"If someone comes in before they
go to class and they see a wheel-locked
car, they are going to turn
around and leave. If the car had
been towed they wouldn't know not
to park there," he said.
Pridmore said wheel-locking is
also more convenient to the car
owner because the car is not
removed from its original location.
However, Pridmore said there can
be difficulties with wheel-locking.
"Wheel-locking is better, but thai
is only when it is done as a business
and not a rip-off."
"The problem comes in when
wheel-lock companies charge 50 -
60 or more dollars and are able to do-as
they please without regulation,"
he said.

SGA summer meeting
held to fill vacancies
Michael Montgomery
Assistant News Editor
The SGA held its first meetings of the summer with
; the promise of a productive quarter.
With the majority of the senate and Cabinet members
away for the quarter, the meetings were filled with
replacements for each of the absent officials.
Scott Johnson, executive vice president, emphasized
the feelings of the Cabinet secretaries by saying this
should be a good quarter for the SGA.
Johnson said although summer is traditionally a slow
quarter, he still expects the Cabinet to meet its goals and
get as much work done as possible.
, Chris Austin, SGA vice president and head of the
SGA senate said he looks forward to the quarter as a
chance to prepare for the fall.
Both Johnson and Austin held short meetings, which
were chances for members to become acquainted with
the format and with each other.
Most of the major business will be handled in the weeks
to come.
Some upcoming events include:
— A rummage sale July 11, with all proceeds
benefiting the campus lighting fund.
'— A summer blood drive held July 22-23 (location to
be named later).
— Oct. 18-25 will be this year's Alcohol Awareness
week.
For more information about the SGA's summer
programs, contact the SGA office at 844-4240.

Biggio Drive to be paved School infested with bats;
Twice delayed removal solution sought
construction set
to begin soon
after July 4
Joseph Lackey
StaffWriter
Auburn's Biggio Drive is soon to
be paved, K.S. Drake, assistant vice
president for facilities, said, and the
Alabama State Highway
Department will begin the
construction within a few days after
the Fourth of July weekend.
The work will include a parking
lot and will provide easier access to
the intramural fields, Drake said.
Originally anticipated to be
completed a year ago, the work was
postponed due to a lack of funds
when the Alabama Legislature
failed to act upon a petition by the
highway department to apply a five-cent
gasoline tax, Drake said.
Recently, that tax has been passed
and put into effect allowing
; additional funds for the project, he
' said.
Patterson Hood/ Staff
Plans have been made to pave Biggio Drive, the
road adjacent to the intramural field.
The facilities division has done
the preliminary paving work, and is
now awaiting the highway
department to do the drainage, curb
and actual paving.
"They actually wanted to begin
about two weeks ago," Drake said.
The work was put off recently due
to the Athletics Congress Track and
Field Nationals being sponsored by
the University.
"We asked them to postpone any
work on it till that was over," he
said.
Biggio will be closed during the
repairment, but should be completed
and reopened by the beginning of
fall quarter.

A recent case of rabies has put
a Tuskegee girl in the hospital,
and state and local officials are in
a quandary over bats and public
health.
Almost three weeks ago, a
second grade girl was bitten by a
bat at a Macon County school
near Tuskegee.
The bat tested positive for
rabies, a virus transmitted by
mammals and often fatal in
humans when untreated, officials
at the Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural
Resources said.
The girl immediately started a
two-week treatment as a
preventative measure and is
expected to fully recover.
School officials began making
plans to exterminate the colony of
bats which infests the walls of the
school gymnasium, but were
forced to reconsider when they
were informed by the Department
of Conservation that the bats are
Brazilian free-tail bats, protected
by the department as a
"threatened species."
Presented with the dilemma of
protecting students while
preserving a threatened animal,
the school turned to Mary
Mendonca, a professor of zoology
at Auburn.
"The best way to handle (the
bat colony) is to simply wait until
the bats fly out at night to feed,
then close up all the openings so
they can't get back in. Then they
will find some other place to roost
and will be somebody else's
problem."
The colony cannot be moved
immediately, however, because a
number of babies were recently
born.
"The babies should be weaned
in another couple of weeks and
the colony could be moved then,"
Mendonca said.
"In the meantime, the colony
should not pose a threat to
humans. The little girl was bitten'
when she was playing with a wild
animal - anytime a wild animal
lets you touch it, something is '
wrong."
Mendonca said Brazilian free-'
tail bats are nonaggressive toward
humans and are even beneficial.
"Farmers are helped because
the bats feed on flying insects
whose larvae can damage crops.
The more biological help the
farmer gets, the less he has to ;
spend on insecticides," she said.
"And, as far as rabies goes, bats
actually have one of the lowest
incidence among animals for the
disease."
Mendonca said Auburn has '
some of the same Brazilian free-tail
bats on campus.
"We have a total of about 1,000
bats living in Samford Hall; half
are free-tails and the rest are the
big brown bat variety. The re-roofing
of Samford Hall has been
postponed until they can be
relocated in our bat house on
campus."

The city of Auburn and its city
manager, Doug Watson, have been
granted a new trial by Circuit Court
Judge James T. Gullage.
The decision, handed down last
week, comes after an appeal from
City Attorney W.F. Horsley on the
grounds that four of the jurors who
served during last March's trial
should have been disqualified
because they allegedly lied about
having previously been involved in
litigation.
Capt. Dean Garrett of the Auburn
Fire Department, who is currently
on leave and unavailable for
comment, charged that Watson had
promised him a promotion but failed

damages - $2,000 to be paid by the
city and the rest to be paid from

Mayor Jan Dempsey said that
Watson's portion of the judgment
would be.paid by the city, although
she didn't say where the extra

"I can't really comment about (the
case), but I feel (the new trial) is a

the city Of breach of contract for the

Johnsongrass, a common enemy of grounds
keepers, may have found its place with the Alabama
Agricultural Experiment Station.
A forage study by Darrell Rankins, an assistant
professor of animal and dairy sciences at Auburn,
found Johnsongrass could be a possible feed for
livestock.
Rankins said, "I was looking for a summer forage
that might help us with cow-calf production during
the late summer when it gets very hot and dry in this
part of the Southeast.
"Summer annuals are usually not cost-effective
during that time period and the typical Bermuda
grass and Bahia grass pastures are usually low
quality during August."
His two-year study began at E.V. Smith Research
Center in Shorter, Ala., the main research center for
the AAES. As stocker.cattle grazed on the
Johnsongrass.for two summers, Rankins collected
data on the animals' weight gains and looked at the
nutritional value of the forage.
On the average, Johnsongrass produced daily
gains similar to other forages. However, per acre, the
total gain was lower, and the grazing season was
shorter.
"It still had some quality problems, especially late
in August. But we found no problems with stand
persistence and there were no signs of toxicity,"
Rankins said. >.
This study of Johnsongrass enabled Rankins to
look at ensiling, or preparing and storing, the grass.
"Forages in Alabama are usually put upas hay,'
but because of the humidity and rainfall in the
Southeast, it is hard to get good quality hay in this
region. The best way to maximize quality is to ensile
forage, but we didn't know if Johnsongrass wouldj
ensile," he said.
Rankins said he combined his study of,"
Johnsongrass with another project. '
Broiler litter, a combination of bedding material"
and manure collected from poultry houses, is"
nutritious for ruminant animals. Rankins said'
ensiling can make broiler litter safe for feed;
Johnsongrass and broiler litter were ensiled"
together and compared to corn silage to evaluate'
nutrient value and taste he said.
"The Johnsongrass silage was palatable, but the'
quality was not equivalent to corn silage."
Brood cows may benefit from Johnsongrass!
silage; but corn silage is still the best for stocker"
calves, Rankins said.

Scientists help farmers build a better blueberry
Wayne Partridge
Staff Writer
Blueberries were the talk of the
town last Saturday at the Brewton,
Ala., Blueberry Research Tour.
"Auburn has had a field research
station at Brewton for the past 12
years, and we have been sponsoring
the tour in conjunction with the
Blueberry Festival for the past three
years," Randy Akridge, Brewton
Experiment Field superintendent,
said.
"We are a research unit of the
Alabama Agricultural Experiment
Station at Auburn. As such, we help
the farmers of Alabama by finding
new and better ways to raise
blueberries. This event lets us show
farmers and the public how much
we have accomplished during the
previous year."
The tour was open to the general
public and featured information on
improved fertilization methods and
materials, planting techniques and
advances in irrigation equipment.
Visitors were shuttled from the.
Blueberry Festival at Jefferson
Davis Community College and were
treated to an expert pruning
demonstration and an explanation of
the different varieties grown at the
field.
After the lectures and
demonstrations, guests were invited
to taste the blueberries and decide
which variety they liked best.

Domestic tragedy
Author explores how American politics
has become antithetical to democracy
Who will tell the People
William Greider
Simon & Schuster
$25.00,415 pages
If American politics can be seen as the node in which
cultural psychography and governmental responsibility
intersect with the promotion of individual liberty, then
the contemporary American electorate is less a fact
than a theoretical construct.
William Greider's new book Who will tell the People
is as agile an examination of American democracy's
dissolution as one could hope for, especially in this, the
season for critical analyses anticipating the Republican
and Democratic conventions and the ensuing national
elections.
; Subtitled: The betrayal of American democracy,
Greider's remarkable text illuminates not only the
extent to which special interest groups and corporate
agendas have penetrated the systems of democratic rep­resentation,
but also the alarming cynicism in the elec­torate's
perception of self government.
I He writes:
j "...Americans have never achieved the full reality
(of democracy) in their own history or even agreed on
democracy's meaning. The democratic idea has always
been most powerful in America as an unfulfilled vision
, of what the country might someday become - a society
advancing imperfectly toward self-realization. In that
sense, democracy is not so much a particular arrange­ment
of government, but a difficult search. It is a hope­ful
promise the nation has made to itself."
Greider claims the nature of that promise is derived
from a democratic government's internal dependence
upon the self-correcting mechanisms of an aggressive
press, debate between the major parties, diverting dia-
William Greider File
logue in the minor entities and, of course, the
attendant power struggles among Congress, the
White House and the Supreme Court.
However, Who will tell the People explores
the failure of those self-correctives to correct
and, rather, suggests that while these processes
are still functioning, they are unmanageably
corrupt and, in some cases, no longer recogniz­able
components of a self-sustaining democra­cy,
but, more properly, auxiliary devices in the
special interest network, operating under the
auspices of a fiscal ideology.
Greider understands the systemic dysfunction
of American politics as a resonance of its ironic
exclusivity, that is, its willingness to propagate
a rhetorical democratic virtue without actually
affirming the legitimacy of multiple and multifarious
social voices.
His reading of the state of our political culture resem­bles
neither the apocalyptic stylistics of the Left nor the
apologetic, nationalistic effusiveness of the Right, but
an equitable, if finally dim view of America's political
consciousness.
His characterizations of the government would, in
some circles, seem comic, and indeed the absolute
value of his observation that government is, in certain
ways, no more familiar with its causal relationship to
the national conception than individuals are familiar
with the inscrutable logic of national policy does strike
one as oddly amusing.
Withal, Who will tell the People represents the most
perceptive current political writing because it does not

pretend toward the self-proclaimed righteousness of
reform, but rather moves through the vicissitudes of
democratic vision with an unyielding gift for inquiry
while maintaining the primacy and urgency of a recon­stituted
American identity reposing in people, not
power.
-Scott Wilkerson
Laura Long/Staff
Books exploit political entropy
Scott Wilkerson
Perspective Editor
Discontent and disillusionment
have historically held privileged
positions in the collective mind of
the American citizenry. Criticism,
even vituperation, with a view
toward reform was the conception
behind early democratic documents
like the Federalist Papers and, later,
in the network of the free press.
This preoccupation with the inad­equacies
of the political environ­ment
is manifestly evident in the
array of new books documenting
scholars' perceptions of America's
downward spiral.
Robert Ritenbaugh, manager of
the University Bookstore said if an
industry of scholars is interested in
construing American dissolution,
then there is a constituency of
American buyers commensurately
interested in their construals.
'If you looked closely at all the houses and their
respective imprints (divisions), you would likely find
every house has its own book on the breakdown of
American politics as that is the chic topic, the sea­sonal
vogue.'
-Robert Ritenbaugh
Ritenbaugh explained the appeal
of books anticipating the break­down
of the American political sys­tem
is both in the public's tropism
toward scandal or controversy and
the system's actual, dramatically
recognizable failures.
"One gets the sense that many of
these books are seasonal books,
geared toward the election year. In
fact, the marketing theory is proba­bly
that during this summer with the
party conventions coming up there
is a heightened political awareness,
and so the idea is to get the relevant
books out in the spring.
"Ironically, many people may not
finally care about the elections.
That seems to be Ross Perot's con­stituency.
And it might be some
subset of those people who are buy­ing
the books on American democ­racy,"
he said.
Ritenbaugh said it is impossible
to know which among these new
books actually have long term
implications and which are merely
responses to the market.
"The publishing industry is really
a model of groupthink in which
there are leaders and followers. If
you looked closely at all the houses
and their respective imprints (divi­sions),
you would likely find every
house has its own book on the
breakdown of American politics as
that is the chic topic, the seasonal
vogue.
"Among those books, however,
there will be something important,
something with long lasting effects ;
in the intellectual world. This will
be a book which is probably out-;
standing on its own merits despite •
any connection to the current mar- \
ket," Ritenbaugh said.
Whether the explanation is mone-'.
tary, polemical, philosophical or !
metaphysical, readers are searching'
for elusive answers to the most
cryptic questions of our age or an -
age, he said.
'The idea is to appeal to the illu- '•
sion that books can provide all the •
answers, which is obviously not"
true, but in that process, you actual-'
ly do come closer to knowing -
what's going on."
Artful rhetoric, glib ironies converge on Hunt
Having been informed that
one of the most vigilant
and productive duties of
every citizen is the aid of
one's government, I shall
inow attempt to be of
utmost service to our fair
and just state of Alabama
and the Honorable Guy
Hunt by attempting to
make the duties of the gov­ernor's
title and office a lit­tle
less cumbersome,
demeaning, and time-con­suming
by providing a list­ing
of possibly harmful, if not carcinogenic,
substances to the moral framework of the
state if not the nation, indeed perhaps the
world. In this endeavor, so far as it is the
product of a fervent and fevered determina­tion,
I will have served a common citizen's
duty, not extraordinary in and of itself, but
extraordinary in its ordinariness.
1. The Bible, including both Old and
New Testaments. Having been recognized
as one of the most perfidious books ever to
grace a coffee table, the
aforementioned text has
ever been a great source
of all sorts of descrip­tions
of moral lapses and
revelries, including
witchcraft, murder, rape,
disembowelments,
decapitations, suicides,
adultery, and the spilling
of seed. Furthermore, we
can no longer afford to
suffer the lack of linear
logic, the wordy lan-guage,
the non sequiturs.
— — — What's more,
there seems to be a call for antityrannical
^movements, furthermore vilified with the
promised aid of certain deities of capricious
disposition and unlimited potential. We
highly suggest this to be priority number
one.
2. The works of so-called founding
fathers and other pompous bastards borrow­ing
from French theory. Must we continue
to squirm and squeal under the condemning
peals of idiots such as Rousseau and Locke.
i *
Outright horror! That outrageous ideas such
as self-determination and self-government
could ever flourish is beyond belief. Say
thee nay!
3. The presence of certain cherished liter­ary
fakers, even in the light of a good and
just government. William Shakespeare's
fascination with regicide and regal impo­tence
must need be shown to be unpalatable
nonsense, including Hamlet, Macbeth, and
Richard 111. Considered the greatest poet of
his age if not for all time (Hah and
harumph!), Shakespeare often infused his
own peculiar madness into his work, a mad­ness
composed mostly of the same prob­lems
in the Bible. Need I say more. The list
of troublemakers continues from a certain
vernacularly coarse Italian known as Dante
to a foul satirist nominated as Swift to a
grinning psychopathic wit characterized as
Shaw, not to mention the heinous demon
Orwell...
That such a perverse attempt at satire
should be written, much less read, a far cry
from being seriously pondered upon is, per­haps,
the fault of the insecurities and mis­givings
of the columnist. Perhaps not. I
would like to instead think of it as a sad
response to a movement that would like to
give the Constitution a rest, that would
rather wallow in hypocrisy than allow free
expression, that would construct a moral
platform to become a perverse Zaccheeus
rather than allowing somebody to speak.
Of course, anti-Americanism, or more
generally, antipatriotism, has become more
fashionable, especially since the counter­culture
of the 1960s, yet only if the powers
that be are satisfied that it is wrapped in an
attractive package or that they can manipu­late
it in a convenient backlash.
Our moral watchdogs are not only
attempting to fool us; they are fooling
themselves. They are reminiscent of the
kings who proclaimed a message of the
divine right of rulership; of course, it is dif­ficult
to believe that the king would believe
his own propaganda, but surely and strange­ly
enough, they soon began to believe in
their own chimeras.
Contemporaneously, our protectors and
saviours have spouted their sociomoralistic,
masturbatory psychobabble long enough
that they believe it themselves. It is no]
longer their platform. It is what they them-1
selves live and breathe.
Obviously I don't believe that a preacher'
masquerading as an elected official that i
never made it past the eighth grade, his first
election won in an embarrassing fluke, the
second by pure incumbency, can tell me -
who to listen to, what to enjoy, who to be
friends with. Also, however, I find it hard to
believe that he can actually tell himself that
he is serving his state and his electorate by
banning ideas and lifestyles.
If you are going to ban something, Mr.;
Hunt, then attempt to ban it all; our;
exchange of ideas is highly familial - our
ideas borrow from one another in an inces­tuous
manner. What'smore our creative
processes are highly resistant to any censur­ing
efforts; that's why many of the books
on our shelves and tables, many of the
albums and compact discs on our players,
many of the artworks on our walls are pre­sent.
Further, our ideas are constantly and
forevermore in our heads.
Happy flying, Governor!

Assistant News Editor
Auburn President William V.
Muse recently inaugurated a new
Institute for Latin American Studies
in a ceremony attended by faculty
members and Ambassador Carlos
Santos-Neves, Brazil's consul
general in New York.
Muse said the institute will "serve
to bring us more insight into Latin
America and strengthen our ties
with the region."
Muse also said an Auburn
education should provide "an
understanding of our world, of our
nation's relationships with other
countries, (and) an understanding of
and appreciation for the many
diverse cultures that make up our
world."
The new institute will be co-directed
by history professor
Michael Conniff and geography
professor Sonny Dawsey.
Dawsey said the institute's main
objectives will be to let Auburn
students and faculty know what's
going on in Latin America and "to
take Auburn to Latin America" with
such projects as summer internships.
"We're interested in promoting
visibility of Latin America on
campus, incorporating information
about Latin America into courses pn
campus," he said.
"This internship will provide a |
chance for (the students) to get sOr le
experience in their job and become
involved with a foreign country.'*
Dawsey said the institute has
"revitalized the major in Latin
American studies, which was on One
books, but really nobody showed
much interest in it"
Dawsey was chairman of thel
committee in charge of reexamining!
the major and trying to corns, upl
with a solution to the lack pf|
interest. . . . . ' • »
Search for ideal body image
can lead to eating disorders
tti
Is there too much perfection in
health? What is the difference
between one's perceived body
image and reality?
Many students search for the ideal
body image through a secret diet or
a special exercise program that
promises to achieve the same
performance image as a high
fashion model or world-class
athlete. This is unrealistic, if not
destructive, thinking. If this
continues, it could lead to addictive
behavior such as eating disorders
(anorexia nervosa or bulimia).
Health care providers indicate such
behaviors and attitudes are shared
by some college students, but in
most cases the problem begins long
before the student enters college.
For many women the pressure to
achieve a thin body figure may arise
from comparing their figures to
female peers. This is done partly
due to social pressures placed on
women to match social norms.
Studies indicate that females react
more negatively than males to
departure from their ideal body size.
Although thin tendencies arc not
totally limited to females, the
w m
m
III*
Graphic by T.E.D. Andrick
tendency is much greater for this
gender.
What is the history of distorted
body images and eating
disorders?
The first reported case of eating
disorders dates back to the 1'870's.
Perhaps not as well publicized as
now, they did exist. Today in this
country 150,000 females die of
anorexia (a disorder characterized
by self-starvation) each year. More
and more teen-age girls are being
afflicted by the disorder at younger
ages now.
What are some of the factors
that cause obsessions for perfect
body images?
The preoccupation with fitness
can influence individuals to think
"that if some is good, more must be
better." Many people push vigorous
exercise regimens to not only look
good but for health benefits.
Clearly, exercise is essential for
one's well-being, but there is
evidence that one can become
addicted to it as well as other
chemicals. The drive for success can
also put excessive pressure on
individuals to look good all the
time. In the competition game,
being thin and controlling weight
can give them an "edge". In the July
1990 College Health Journal an
article stated even successful
athletes suffer negative feelings
about their weight. The study
reflected that there was a striking
difference in men's and women's
view of themselves: 63 percent of
women athletes saw themselves as
overweight while only 14 percent of
men thought of themselves as
overweight. The women athletes
tended to b(i self-critical about their
weight... M is. in these self-perceptions
that add to the obsession
and tendencies for eating disorders.
These are just a few of the factors
related to this complex- issue.
What are some of the guidelines
to follow in preventing these
trends?
There arc many personal factots
that make an individuals "ideal
weight. The following are some^Jf
the factors one needs to recognize as
issues in one's body size; genetic^,
gender, health status, physical
activity level and self-image. Thje
answer is not striving for perfection,
but recognizing and monitoring-tffe
realistic weight for yourself. To
bring one's perceived body image
closer to reality and realizing that
the image is not the reality can
certainly help also* • • §

Senate commends Muse
Michael Montgomery
Assistant News Editor
The University senate Tuesday
adopted a resolution that recognized
President William V. Muse's
contributions toward creating a
more diverse campus.
The resolution, adopted by a
unanimous vote by the full senate,
officially commends Muse for
publicly advocating "tolerance,
diversity, and spirited debate."
The resolution also commends
Muse for "facing down intolerance
and diffusing intemperate emotions
on this campus; ... for forcefully
reminding readers of his essay
(which appeared in The
Montgomery Advertiser) that
democracy depends on tolerance, ...
and that an American university
must therefore not allow, but
encourage diversity."
The resolution was written by
faculty in the English department.
Marcia Jacobsen, an English
professor, said she and her
colleagues felt it was important to
recognize the president for the good
things he had accomplished, and not
just chastise him for the bad things.
In other senate business:
— Revisions were made to the
faculty handbook as part of an
ongoing process to totally revise the
entire handbook. Special senate
sessions will be held later this
quarter to continue the revisions.
-- Cindy Bruner and Patricia
Duffy were named to the rules
committee, replacing members
whose terms had expired.
-- Muse announced the search for
a provost will begin as soon as
possible. He set July 1, 1993, as the
date by which he hopes to have
someone picked for the position.

- *~ •> •
Michael Montgomery
Assistant News Editor
In the beginning, his candidacy
was considered an anomaly, an
unusual occurrence.
Now, it appears H. Ross Perot's
bid for the presidency is taking a
< legitimate turn toward Pennsylvania
Avenue.
Why has the Texas billionaire
become so popular?
• Caine Campbell, former associate
dean of the College of Liberal Arts
and the coordinator of the drive to
put Perot on the ballot in Lee
County, said he believes there are
two reasons for Perot's increasing
popularity.
First, he said, he believes people
are angry because they have lost
control of the government. The
government, he said, is run by small
groups of special interests which no
. longer care about the people.
Second, he said the Republican
and Democratic parties have
degenerated to the point where they
are no longer good parties.
"Then along comes Ross Perot,"
he said.
"He is not ideological, and he has
not taken an extremist view like Pat
Buchanan's 'America first' extreme.
"He talks about getting things
done."
Chris Todd, coordinator of
Students for Ross Perot, agreed with
Campbell.
"I think our (system of
government) is the best in the world.
However, I think those who hold the
position are no longer responsive to
everyday life," Todd said.
Much of Perot's popularity, Todd
said, stems from how people view
their leaders.
''I look for integrity," he said,
"and I think others view integrity as
important also."
Between Bush's broken promises,
and Clinton's shady image, he said,
Perot comes across as an honest

man who has been thrust into the
position by people who think he can
get the job done.
"People see his success in the
things he has done," Campbell said.
"He has achieved a national
reputation as somewhat of a folk
hero."
Campbell, former chairman of the
Democratic party, said when he
made his decision to switch, he was
surprised at the number and
diversity of people who shared his
view.
"I held a combination press
conference and public meeting to
announce my switch, and I was
surprised at the number of people
who showed up to voice their
support," he said.
"I never really had to hold a
public campaign to get the petition
signed. People would call me asking
me for petitions.
"Also, the span of people
interested really caught my
attention. I saw young people,
'He is not ideological, and he has not taken an
extremist view like Pat Buchanan's 'America first'
extreme. He talks about getting things done.'
- Caine Campbell
retirees, farmers, members of the
political science and philosophy
departments and history professors.
"You can imagine the different
viewpoints; yet they all had reached
the same conclusion," Campbell
said.
Todd said he thinks students
support Perot primarily because of
the economy.
"Everyone is scared about the
economy, and when it boils down to
it, it is the number one issue," he
said.
A businessman like Perot,
Campbell said, would have a
different outlook on the presidency
because he is not preoccupied with
getting elected and staying in office
as are most politicians.
"The (politicians) that do not fit
that pattern are definitely the
exceptions," he said.
"A businessman could do a better
job because his career is entirely
different"
History, however, suggests Perot
will face an uphill battle. No third-party
candidate has ever won a
presidential election.
Todd said, however, that third-party
history does not apply here.
No third-party candidate, he said,
has ever had this kind of support.
Also, he said the country has never
experienced this much decline in the

party system.
Campbell said, "He is not a third-party
candidate because he has no
party support. He leads no party."
If Perot gets elected, Campbell
said the lack of the party support
most presidents have enjoyed will
not be a problem.
"Republicans have had to deal
with a hostile Congress for 12 years
now," he said. "Congress will
respond to Perot's winning margin
because they do not want to have to
face angry voters who elected Perot
back home.
"A Congressman who wants to be
re-elected in two years will support
Perot's plans like he would any
other president."
Also, Campbell said he thinks
Perot will be able to adjust to being
in the spotlight as the campaign
continues.
"People view the media as
villains, and they enjoy seeing
people stand up to them," he said.

Editor's Note: The editorial comments below reflect observations
and responses to local and state issues as voted on by the majori­ty
of the Plainsman Editorial Board.
Say no to
censorship...
Across the country recently, censorship has been a
prevalent issue. It is an issue from which Alabama
cannot seem to distinguish itself.
Gov. Guy Hunt's decision to ban rap artist Ice-T's
album Body Count from record stores in Alabama was a
direct indication of the misconstrued authority of the State
..government.
Although it is debatable whether the government
should have the authority to label music with parental advi­sories
or 18-year-old restrictions, there is no question that
the government should not be in the business of deciding
what its constituents can and cannot purchase of their own
free will for their own entertainment, instruction, contem­plation
or interpretation.
To institute a law which denies an Alabamian the
right to choose, to discriminate, or to participate in the free
marketplace of ideas is unconstitutional. We may or may
not agree with or choose to listen to Ice-T's self-expressive
lyrics, but as Americans and as resident Alabamians we
support his right to create and sell his product.
By the way, moving away from the political to the
practical implications, historically, to ban a product is to
create instant interest and demand for that very product.
Lude advice...
As tradition would have it, we have our advice for
the new man on campus, this time Athletic Direc­tor
Milo R. "Mike " Lude. So Mr. Lude, here are
our suggestions:
Please clean up our athletic department.
We want to be proud of the achievements of our sports
teams and of the University itself. It is general principle
that colleges become well-known for their athletic
prowess. Currently Auburn sports is most remembered for
the rumors of its corrupt behavior. We love Auburn, and
we hope you will come to love it enough to help reinstate
its good name not only in athletics, but for the entire Uni­versity.
Please extend more emphasis to women's sports.
Recently, miniscule improvements have been made to
improve the ratio of emphasis on women's and men's
sports at Auburn. We look to you to take the major strides
to change that tendency.
Good luck!
Who is the ideal family role model?
ALYSON S. LINDE
Editor
I can't answer that question because
there is no unequivocal answer.
There is no ideal family role model.
For one person, even if they happen
to be vice president, to proclaim that
a particular type of person or set of
TV show characters is not an appro­priate
family role model implies
knowledge of the components of each
and every family in the nation.
The spectrum of types of families
which in reality exist in America is
too diverse for one type of person to
be proclaimed acceptable or not
acceptable as a model for all •
Vice president Quayle may have
ruled out Murphy Brown and The Simpsons as appropriate models for the
American public but he did not offer an easy answer to what should be the
ideal model.
Perhaps to Quayle there is only one type of family - the one which exem­plifies
his ideal. It would seem his ideal includes the husband , the wife, the
two 2.5 children , the dog or cat.
Well, let me remind everyone that that has not been the dominant proto­type
for the American family for quite a long time. We need to get realistic.
In many families there is one parent; that is a situation which takes
courage and requires exploring , yes in TV shows.
Gone are the days in which a child's world includes problems such as
whether Susie Tatum will return Beaver Cleaver's love note after class.
Children today need to see shows which mirror their lives and which help
to ease situations which may occur such as divorce, or lack of a second par­ent
There can be no one show for American children to watch. There must
be a conglomeration which represents as many different family envirom
rhents as possible. Children today may yearn for families such as the
Cleavers, but mostly they can't identify with them.
Realistically, children and parents of the 90s have no prototype. You
can't distinguish between what type of family situation is good or bad. The
values are which matter. Whether a child has one parent or two does not
determine the end result of his value systm - how the child is taught to live
within the existing envirionment is what matters.
Like it or not Mr. Quayle; a majority of the population does identify with
the strong female character of Murphy Brown and the fun-loving, quirky
and what you would call dysfunctional family.
Perhaps you should learn more about your constituents before you decide
what is right or wrong for them view on TV.
Columnist reveals secrets of KGB files
With the dramatic downfall of the
Soviet Union, a new age of open
relations and free communication
could ensue that could change the
way we look at the world.
The former KGB has started
releasing some of its secret files,
giving us a historical look at some
of the operations of this much
feared organization.
Some of the early revelations
have included possible discoveries
of U.S. prisoners of war who may
have been moved to Soviet labor
camps during the Vietnam War, and
also an inside look at how the KGB
trained its spies.
There is no doubt in the coming
weeks more incredible revelations
will make themselves known. Some
may be surprising, others downright
shocking.
Here is a list of some of the
things we may well see:
- The magic bullet.
A dramatic search by Geraldo
Rivera will climax in a dark corner
of KGB headquarters with the dis­covery
of the bullet that killed John
F. Kennedy.
After all, if the bullet could travel
in the winding direction as stated by
H
the Warren Com­mission,
who is to
say it did not con­tinue
across the
Atlantic before
coming to rest in
Moscow?
This news, no
doubt, will prompt
Oliver Stone to
release a sequel to
'JFK' just in time
for the Christmas
movie season.
-- The original
version of 2 Live
Crew's As Nasty As They Want to
Be album.
Luther Campbell, in his infinite
wisdom, originally submitted a G-rated
version of the album, but the
KGB, as part of their overall plot to
undermine the United States gov­ernment,
brainwashed Campbell
and made him write the now infa­mous
lyrics.
(Searches will later discover the
same thing happened to Ice-T and
his latest album Body Count.)
— Lyndon Johnson was on the
payroll.
This sounds ludicrous, I know,

cleaner salesman from the southern
United States was rejected as a spy
because of an inability to learn
quickly from his mistakes.
So, distraught and in despair, he

job he was qualified for: Alabama
politics.
- Hundreds of small flash cards
with the word potato spelled with

come out. Dan Quayle knew better
than to spell it that way - didn't he?
As a matter of fact, information
may come out which could exoner­ate
Quayle from many of his deba-cles,
therefore effectively making
him the front runner in this year's
presidential election.

extremely hard to portray in wrifen
prose.) I
These same agents, it seems, also
had a hand in monetary advice in,
America's Savings and Loans.
To think that a foreign organiza­tion
could possibly have this much
influence in the affairs of our soci­ety
is highly unbelievable.
But before you discard this col­umn,
remember, who would have
thought 20 years ago that a presi­dent
of the United States would
have been capable of covering up a
break-in of his opposing party's
office.?
I, for one, will be paying close
attention to the nighUy news for the
next few months.
'
Get it going on with college lingo
Language is a very funny thing.
There are hundreds of different lan­guages
used in the world with each
one having a number of their own
dialects.
Since many languages are deriva­tives
or combinations of others,
world communication flows at an
easy pace with little or no trouble at
all. So why do people still have a
hard time understanding the lan­guage
of generations?
Every generation has its own lan­guage.
In the 60s it was 'groovy'
and 'far out'. In the 70s it was
Well, let's just say the 70s were a
time of fashion ignorance and polit­ical
strife where everything cultur­ally
was borrowed and reshaped,
leaving a void of nothing useful.
Tawdry pick-up lines like
'What's your sign' tainted the
social scene and once the 80s
arrived, the whole decade became a
black void in our minds, except
those who got a reminder of their
carefree sexual days 10 years down
the road.
The 80s brought on a new era and
a new language. Kids, left with
nothing from the previous decade,
were forced to create their own ter­minology.
SgSgggSggfi
They followed
the path that past
generations had
taken and used old
words with new
meanings.
Radical was
shorten to 'rad'
and given the gen­eral
meaning of
acceptance of an
object. 'Bad' now
meant good and
'like' began every
sentence.
We are now into
the 90s and things have changed
once again. There are some new
words with old meanings and some
old words with new meanings.
Creativity and efficiency seem to
be the basis for most of the 90s new
vocabulary. Words are shortened
versions of whole phrases or combi­nations
of many words, like the
word dis.
Dis is a prefix for the words dis­miss,
disrespect, disgrace, displease
and disrupt.
To dis is to ignore. Dises can be
positive or negative. By that I mean
that they can be intentional or unin­tentional.

S l a m s
are kind of the
same way, but
are much more
deadly. Slams are
usually intention­al
but they can be
meant as a joke
or to harm.
To slam
is to rib or jest
with someone. A
good slam can be
compared with a
good tennis
game.
The players volley back and forth
with words of wit until one player's
volley lands so hard the opponent is
left a dribbling, babbling idiot that
just can't find the right words for a
reply. Thus, that player has been
out slammed and is forced to accept
the slam as truth.
A slam can last for a year, while a
dis usually last a day at the most.
Another word that fits in this cat
and mouse category is the word
call. To call someone is to catch
them.
If someone snags (to take or grab,
like 'snag that table' or 'snag my
wallet') your last beer from your
cooler, the action must be called.
The subject must be approached
and alerted to the fact that he has
been called. You can say something
like 'I'm gonna have to call you on
that one, bud.' When you call
someone, it can be in a joking man­ner
or in a completely serious state,
just like a slam.
Rally and rage are two words-that
have the same meaning. To;
rage is to participate in intense j
activities to the point of intoxication;
and sometimes loss of memory. For;
example, one might say, 'Bitchin';
party last night, dude. We really;
raged hard.'
New words are being introduced!
every day, but few have the require-;;
ments to stick. J
A few new ones are megamix, a'
combination of rice or noodles'
mixed with anything you have left!
in the cabinet and fridge. Arthritis'
is a well-endowed female. Got it!
going on is a phrase used to!
describe someone who knows what
they are doing. It is usually used in*
the sexual sense'.
If you can think of any words that
I missed, please drop me a line and*
give me the skinny on the new'
action.

Colleges cave in to minority issue
Editor, The Plainsman:
Yesterday, the phrase was "racial
tension."
Today, more and more journal­ists,
educators, politicians and
jurists are resorting to such phrases
as "racial explosion," "racial pow­der
keg" and "racial time bomb."
Recently, we have seen racial
animosity generate into the riots,
looting and fire bombings in Los
Angeles, Atlanta and other major
cities.
However, on the horizon there is
a greater potential for more racial
violence throughout this country,
especially among the younger gen­eration.
Though they are not as newswor­thy
as the L.A. violence, several
publicized incidents are worth not­ing,
and this sends us a message.
This spring at Auburn Universi­ty,
white and black students had a
face-off at the Kappa Alpha's Old
South parade.
The two racially hypersensitive
ingredients remained separated, but
a simple catalyst such as a thrown
bottle or a slight push or shove,
could have set off a racial explo­sion.
At Iowa State University at
Ames, the university's spring festi­val
of 8,000 revelers resulted in a
racial brawl in which 22 were
injured and more than 100 arrested.
Two weeks before the end of the
spring semester a small college in
Michigan, which was considered a
bastion of racial tolerance, had a
racially-inspired fist fight involv­ing
about 60 students.
The college's 55 black students
packed their bags and left the cam­pus.
During the past year, an untold
number of violent racial confronta­tions
have occurred behind the
"Iron Curtains" that protect the
campuses of our public schools.
In an opinion column which was
published statewide, Auburn Uni­versity's
new president, Dr.
William V. Muse, stated: "The root
of the problem emanates from the
racist and intolerant attitudes that
one encounters early in life in the
home..."
Muse may be speaking of his
generation, but not of the current
generation of college students.
Significantly, those students who
supported the Kappa Alphas and
were waving the Confederate battle
flags were born a decade after the
civil-rights turmoil and legislation
of the early 1960s.
They have been through at least
12 years of intense indoctrination
in multiculturalism, white-guilt
accusations, and "diversity" in the
integrated public schools.
The grandparents of today's
white college students may have
been very content with racial seg­regation,
but their children who
were bom shortly after World War
II, were the pawns in the struggle
to integrate the schools.
Those children, who are now the
parents of our current college stu­dents,
are to a large extent neutral­ized
and uncomfortable in dis­cussing
any racial issue.
Their offspring, the current gen­eration
of college students, have
been in integrated classrooms their
entire academic careers.
But what they have encountered
over these years is that skin color
does make a difference to the pro­fessional
educators.
Majority students have witnessed
racial set-aside slots for many
school activities.
They have seen numerous pro­grams
which are only open to
minority students.
They see their minority class­mates,
who have lower test scores
and grade-point averages, being
admitted to universities from
which they have been shut out.
They are seeing lucrative schol­arships
going to their less qualified
fellow students because those stu­dents
are black.
The escalation of racial dishar­mony
in this country cannot be
blamed on a infinitesimal number
of marching skinheads shouting
"Seig Heil," as the media and edu­cators
would like us to believe.
The seeds are being sown by a
mind-set, educational bureaucracy
which sees only racial quotas as
the primary goal.
We are witnessing an increasing
number of demands by minority
students for universities to provide
them with their own student cen­ters,
yearbooks and graduation cer­emonies.
University administrators are
caving in to these demands in order
to maintain campus tranquillity,
and out of fear of being branded as
insensitive to minority concerns.
Is it not the height of hypocrisy
for a university president to chas­tise
the parents of Auburn students
for what he perceives as their racist
attitudes, and then, several weeks
later enthusiastically announce that
the University will spend S1 mil­lion
to provide minority scholar­ships
and salaries for minority
adjunct professors?

Don't lower Auburn's standards!
Editor, The Plainsman:
No, no, no, no, I still can't believe that Auburn might
lower their standards.
Since I graduated in December of 1990, I have had
many job opportunities, due to my experience and edu­cation
at Auburn. Don't, and I repeat, don't let them
lower our standards.
The old cliche definitely fits here, if you (meaning
everyone red, yellow, black, or white) can't take the
heat, then get out of the kitchen.

Editor, The Plainsman:
The 1992 Glomerata was supposed to encompass the
old and represent the new. In some areas, it did a beau­tiful
job. In others it did not.
I am a senior member of the Auburn Women's soc­cer
team. Our picture is so small that you can't even tell
who people are. The write-up doesn't list enough and is
even cut off in mid-word. In contrast, the men's team
has almost two pages. I will concede that because the
men have sweethearts they need a little more space;
however, this does not justify two pages for the men
and a minute corner of a page for the women.
The men's write-up lists how they generate money
and are supported by their sweethearts. What about the
women? We actually work harder than the men because
we have no sweethearts. We collect dues, hold
fundraisers, sell T-shirts, and even work in the football
parking lots to raise money.
We pay for game fields, referees, uniforms, away-game
transportation and fees, hotel accommodations
and anything else required to play our games. We have
been treated second class to the men's team for too
long.
The Glomerata's actions only support this second
class treatment. The Glomerata's mistreatment of the
Aubum Women's Soccer Team has been going on for
at least the last four years, probably even longer.
I had anxiously awaited this Glom, hoping to cherish
my senior soccer picture. Instead, I was again slapped
in the face, irritated and insulted. It is time the women's
team received the respect they deserve. We should
receive at least the same respect as the men. We work
harder and play just as hard as they do. Enough is
enough!

Native American stands by flag
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Auburn Kappa Alpha fraternity was right to stand firm in their tradition and continue to wave the Confeder­ate
Flag. This sacred banner is not a symbol of racism or anything negative but is the emblem of our Southern her­itage.
This flag is special not only to whites but to all who hold honor and self-determination dear.
As a Native American-Indian, and direct descendant in two lines from the Creek high chief Red Eagle, the Con­federacy
represents to me the only time in American history in
