"An Auburn Tradition Since 1893 //
Speak Out Monday
University to reveal
six parking plans,
offer opportunity for
student input
By Greg Walker
Managing Editor
A possible light at the end of
the parking problem tunnel has
appeared and can be seen
Monday afternoon when Vice
President for Administrative
Services Jim Ferguson presents
the results of an extensive park­ing
study.
"Essentially the presentation
will be broken down into three
parts," Ferguson said.
"First, I am going to present
and define the problem as I see
it with slides and graphics.
Then Carey Wood will present
the actual options that are avail­able
and discuss the pros and
cons of each. Next, I will discuss
the financial options for each
plan."
Wood is a partner in the archi­tectural
firm of
Holcombe/Wood Associates
from Birmingham, the firm
responsible for developing vari­ous
parking plans for Auburn.
The conference will take place
Monday in the auditorium of
the Auburn University Hotel
and Conference Center at 3 p.m.
and 5 p.m.

Senate to hold hearing on calendar debate
By Dawn Kent
Assistant Ne^Edftor
Students who care about the
classes they take, the lengths of the
terms in which they are offered and
the course of their education in gen­eral
need to attend the Student
Government Association Senate
meeting Monday, Oct. 30, 7 p.m. in
Broun Hall.
"If s a Senate meeting, but it's
going to be dominated by a quar­ter/
semester forum," SGA Vice
President Shannon Scarbrough said.
"We will have representatives
from each of the school councils say
what they think the students in
their school feel about the calendar
issue," Scarbrough said.
Scarbrough said school councils
are made up of the elected officers
such as president, vice-president
and senators from each college.
"Therfwill also be a 30-fftihUte
time period when people from the
audience can come up and voice
their opinion," he said.
President William V. Muse said
he hopes the meeting will be a time
when students can fully explore the
quarter/semester issue.
"What I hope will happen is that
more students will have more time
to look at both sides," Muse said.
"The only thing they have to base
their choice on now is the quarter
system.
"My concern is that everyone can
fully understand the advantages
and disadvantages of both sys­tems,"
he said.
Scarbrough said he plans to have
one or two members of the faculty
or administration who are knowl­edgeable
about both systems pre­sent
to answer students' questions.
"At the end of the meeting, I will
call roll and each senator will stand
and tell their vote," he said.
If the majority votes for quarters,
Scarbrough said a resolution
to keep a quarter system will be
brought before the senators at the
next Senate meeting. Should semes­ters
get the majority vote, the
reverse will happen.
Last spring, a University Senate
ad hoc committee, appointed by
Muse to study the possible change
in the calendar system, reported its
findings.
The committee was made up of
faculty members, and its report list­ed
the primary advantages of both
systems. The committee's recom­mendation
was in favor of the
semester system.
Student Affairs begins to study 'quality improvements'
IMPROVEMENTS:
Committee to study ways to
improve the University
under budget restraints.
By Tara Andersson
Assistant News Editor
It you've ever waited in line at
the offices of financial aid, the reg­istrar
or admissions, you may
think Student Affairs could use
some improvement.
"We're trying to get everything
positioned so that we can kick off
the Student Affairs Quality
Improvement Team," Vice
President of Student Affairs Bertye
Burkhalter said.
"We have initiated a program of
continuous quality improvement
going back two or three years
ago," University President
William V. Muse said.
Muse said that last year a com­mittee
pei formed a continuous
quality improvement study of the
graduate school.
"We want to know 'How well
are we doing our job?' 'How can
we improve that job?' and 'How
can we get every person on this
campus thinking about that every
day?'"Burkhalter said.
The team will begin its study by
identifying the vision, mission and
function of student affairs. It will
begin to look at how to improve
quality, lower costs and respond to
students more rapidly, Burkhalter
said.
SGA President Winston Tucker,
who is on the core team, said he
"realizes the University is going to
have less to work with" as far as
the budget is concerned, but
expressed concern about losing
the friendly atmosphere for which
Auburn is known while trying to
make operations run more effi­ciently.
"I don't want to get too caught
up in this TQM (Total Quality
Management) thing that we lose
sight of the students," Tucker said.
Only one other student, a grad­uate
student, will serve on the core
team.
"It seems like there would be
too many distractions away from
students," Tucker said.
"It doesn't matter how many
students you have on the commit­tee,"
Tucker said, "as long as the
committee listens and takes under
consideration the opinions those
students give."
Muse said the team
would try to gather input from
many students, including students
not on the committee.
"The principle beneficiaries
ought to be our students. The
objective of quality improvement
is to do a better job of serving the
needs of our students, both in the

Former pledge charges KA with human rights violations
By Chris Wilkerson
Campus Editor
Hot on the heels of a University suspen­sion
for hazing allegations, Auburn's Nu
chapter of Kappa Alpha Order found itself
face to face with a lawsuit filed by a former
pledge Friday.
The lawsuit accuses seven members of
KA, along with the Aubum chapter and the
national organization, of subjecting pledges,
including the plaintiff, to a number of
actions which were, "atrocious and utterly
intolerable in a civilized society."
In the lawsuit, former pledge Jason Jones,
no longer a student, accuses KA of multiple
human rights violations such as being made
to dig a ditch and fill it with water, feces,
urine, dinner left overs and vomit.
The suit also says the pledges were made
to get in the ditch, "often in mid-winter . ..
after midnight" and they had "to hug each
other to keep warm."
Jones was a pledge from September 1993
to June 1994. The KA's resided in their old
house on College Street at the time. A ditch
reminiscent of the one described in the suit
still appears in the back yard of the old
house.
The complaint was filed Oct. 20 in Dallas
County, Ala. Jones is from Muskogee
County, Ga.
Jones' suit is being handled by the law
firm of Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders and
Pettaway of Selma. The firm refused to
answer any questions about the case.
Parke Keith Jr., John Parker, Emmit
Barran, Duncan Morris, Jason Hard, Brad
Sauls and Scott Belcher are named as defen­dants
and are being served a summons con­cerning
the suit, but Sauls is the only man
named specifically in the complaint.
Keith, the president of the suspended fra­ternity,
is the son of Parke J. Keith, a prose­cutor
for the Selma Municipal Court System
and Dallas County District Court.

Body found in Peruvian Andes may provide useful information about Incas
In the Peruvian Andes on a 20,700-foot summit, archeologist found the "well-preserved frozen remains
of a young woman who apparently had been sacrificed to the Incan gods about 500 years ago."
Archeologist found her wearing finely woven wool and an elaborate feather headdress. Surrounding
her body were artifacts of her religion, rare ceramics and statuettes.
Scientists hope to discover unfragmented DNA for genetic studies and to gain information about Incan
health and nutrition. Scientists believe the artifacts will also provide useful insights into Incan religion.
The new discoveries were recently made and were announced Tuesday by Dr. Johan Reinhard, an
American archeologist and mountaineer.

Woman beaten at Mobile Baptist youth center, three suspects arrested
Three females were arrested on charges of assault and theft in Mobile Tuesday. They were accused of
tying up and severely beating a 66-year-old woman at a Baptist youth shelter and then taking pictures of
her and stealing a church van to escape.
A police spokesperson, Tom Jennings, said the females were located and arrested at separate houses in
Bayou La Batre and were taken to the juvenile detention center in Mobile. The van was found parked at
the Dauphin Island Fishing Pier.
Police said the victim, Florence Williams, was working alone at the Alabama Baptist Children's Home
emergency shelter when she was attacked.

Police arrest Opelika woman for child abuse, second time in five years
Opelika resident Melissa Ann Ray Davis, 25, of 337 Lee Road 431, was arrested Monday for child
abuse for the second time in five years after unexplained injuries were found on her 8-year-old daugh­ter.
She is presently out of jail on $10,000 bond.
Capt. Tommy Barnes of the Opelika Police Department said the unexplained injuries found on the
child prompted the investigation which was launched in May.
He said when the investigation was launched the child was taken from the home by police, and her
present whereabouts were not disclosed.
No information was released about the extent of her injuries, but Bames said they did require minor
treatment.
Davis pleaded guilty in 1990 on charges of child abuse which involved the same daughter. Judge
James T. Gullage sentenced Davis to serve six months at Lee County Jail and three years of probation.

Parking Continued from A-1
study, and we wanted to make
sure enough people heard about
it," Ferguson said.
The study will be televised on
campus cable, and everyone is
invited to hear the presentation.
"That is what this presentation
is all about — getting input and
opinions from people," he said.
Ferguson could not discuss con­struction
or financial details about
the various parking options, but
said there are to be three parking
lot options and six parking struc­ture
options discussed.
The study has been ongoing for
months, and in June, Ferguson
presented the study to the Student
Government Association, which
recommended a formal presenta­tion
be made to the University.
Ferguson said no votes will be
taken regarding a certain parking
option, and that this presentation
is informational only. He also said
that if a parking option were to be
decided on, construction may be a
year away.
"It is hard to give this a time
frame. It has to be reviewed by the
president and the Board of
Trustees. I would hope, if a deci­sion
were to be made, it would
happen relatively quickly,"
Ferguson said.
"It depends on what option we
go with," he said.
A question and answer session
will follow the formal presenta­tion.
"We have invited the Student
Government Association, the
University Senate, the Staff
Advisory Council and the
Administrative and Professional
Association, but clearly everyone
is welcome to hear this presenta­tion,"
Ferguson said.
Improvement Continued from A-1
classroom and around campus,"
Muse said.
Burkhalter said the best way to
learn how to improve an organiza­tion
is to "ask the people closest to
the performance of the job."
Muse said, "Auburn
University has gotten some spe­cial
recognition for efforts we've
made in quality improvement."
For that reason, Muse said, the
University decided to hold the
National Conference on
Continuous Quality Improvement
here at Auburn Oct. 22-25.
Muse said the goal was for other
schools to come here and learn
from what Auburn has done and
for them to share what they're
doing.
A second objective of the confer­ence
was to review the criteria for
the Malcolm Baldridge Award,
which recognizes industries for
successful quality improvement.
The award committee is consid­ering
the addition of a category for
educational institutions, Muse
said.
Each section of the conference
discussed a different element of
the seven criteria for the award:
leadership, information and
analysis, strategy and operational
planning, human resource devel­opment,
educational and business
process management, perfor­mance
results, student focus and
student and stakeholder satisfac­tion.
"What's so exciting about con­tinuous
quality improvement is
that it makes the journey so pleas­ant,"
Burkhalter said.
Burkhalter said research shows
that is the reason most organiza­tions
use it.
"I truly believe you have to
build on your existing strengths,"
Burkhalter said.
"We have to start where we are
and build on all those strengths
that we have, and there are a lot of
them in Student Affairs,"
Burkhalter said.
"If change is so far removed
from what (the current situation)
is, it usually never happens,"
Burkhalter said.
After gathering information
about what improvements could
be made, the committee will then
create a list of recommendations.
A year from now, the committee
will reconvene and see how well
the suggestions have been imple­mented.
Burkhalter said she is very inter­ested
in listening to the comments
of the support staff.
"We must never overlook... the
all of these folks behind the
scenes; that's where the real mus­cle
of quality lies," Burkhalter
said.
"I feel that I have been success­ful.
I work very hard at it. I work
long hours. I do what it takes, but
there's no way I could do this
without the support of people
behind the scenes," Burkhalter
said.
"I have just been so impressed
as I have gone across and talked to
all the different individuals. We've
got some people who are excited;
they are ready to move. They
don't know what the future
holds., but they know it's going to
be different," Burkhalter said.
"There seems to be a kind of
excitement in the air," Burkhalter
said.
Continued from A-1 Pledge
Keith Jr. declined comment on the KA's current sit­uation.
Jones also remains quiet upon advice from his
legal counsel.
The lawsuit consistently refers to pledges being
"made to" participate in dehumanizing activities, or
mentions them being "subjected to" other atrocities.
The suit says Jones, along with other pledges, had
to eat a variety of odd combinations of food includ­ing
"yerks, (a mixture of hot sauce, mayonnaise, but­ter,
beans, etc.)."
One of the accusations made in the suit outlines a
ritual referred to as "two o'clocks."
It said the pledges periodically had to show up at
• i l iw e 9no).> -\\t " SjaXTpr\Al '•'-
the fraternity house at 2 a.m.
"(Jones) and other pledges were scared because
they never knew what to expect and would get drunk
in order to handle it," the suit says.
According to the suit, on the last night of "Hell
Week," the final week of the pledgeship, pledges
were not allowed to eat. "One defendant saved a gal­lon
of his tobacco spit and dumped it over a pledge,"
it reads.
The suit also says that during "Hell Week," a
defendant killed a deer, saved the guts and made
Jones run, slide and wrestle in it.
A jury will determine whether any damages will be
* w rn>Vv> i
awarded in the suit.
Jim Hardin, assistant director of student life, said
the suit is completely separate from the previous
hazing allegations from the University.
"At this point we don't know how (the suit) will
affect the University," he said.
Hardin said the student life office had an idea this
was coming.
"We received an anonymous phone call after they
were suspended indicating a lawsuit might be filed,"
he said.
The call came two to three days after the story
came out in the newspapers, he said.
Hardin said a hearing being held Thursday after­noon
"will look at the incident of Oct. 8 where Grant
Davis, Debra Conner and I witnessed what was
going on at the house."
Debra Conner and Grant Davis both work in the
student life office.
The University's Committee on fraternities and
sororities is made up of Interfraternity Council and
Panhellenic officers and other yearly appointed
members. This committee will hear the evidence
against KA in the University's allegations and will
submit recommended action to Bettye Burkhalter,
interim vice president of student affairs, he said.

Unofficial ticket
sales are booming
business in Auburn
By Graham Hadley
Assistant News Editor
Every football game day, thou­sands
of people pour into Auburn,
but not all of them have tickets to
the game.
These hopeful individuals must
rely on the booming business of
ticket scalping to provide a means
of entry into the stadium.
In most states the practice of
selling tickets above the original
sale price is illegal but not in
Alabama.
Auburn University Police Chief
Bill Nevin said, "Alabama does
not currently have any law that
prevents scalping of tickets."
Though some tickets sell far
below original price, more often
than not, tickets sell at a large
profit.
Tim Jackson, the director of ath­letic
ticket sales, said scalped tick­ets
may cost anywhere from $2
more than the original price to
$300 more than the original price.
Jackson said he has heard
of scalped tickets selling for home
games for as much as $600 a pair.
It is not an uncommon sight to
see several people wandering out­side
the stadium or on street cor­ners
just before a game trying to
get rid of tickets.
While many cf these people are
selling their tickets at or below
cost, many are looking to turn a
profit.
"Scalpers are much more com­mon
when the University has sold
out of tickets. This does not cause
us to lose any money, because we
don't have any tickets left,"
Jackson said.
The people who lose the most
from scalpers are the students and
fans who did not get tickets
because they were sold out.
"I hate to see people' who'Jjiiy
tickets to sell them for profit
DANIELTRIVINO/Photo Staff
A man illegally sells tickets on campus outside Jordan-HareStadium before the West Michigan game.
because it means there is a true fan
out there who couldn't get a ticket
from us and won't be able to come
to the game," Jackson said.
When people sell tickets and
some are still available through
the ticket offices, then the
University does lose money.
"When we see people selling
tickets below the regular price,
usually at non-conference games,
then it hurts us because they are
not buying tickets from us," he
said.
Jackson said the sale of rickets
below cost is not considered scalp­ing.
There are several legitimate
options available for people look­ing
to pick up game tickets.
Dick Salmon is a licensed
scalper who operates out of the
Saco Service Station at 802 Opelika
Road in Auburn., "
He scalps tickets without caus­ing
problems because he does not
purchase tickets from the
University, thus depriving stu­dents
and fans of tickets.
"I act as a broker for people who
have too many tickets or tickets
that they do not want. I sell the
tickets and get a percentage off the
top," Salmon said.
Additionally, Jackson is trying
to develop an exchange through
athletic ticket sales.
"I am looking for some sort of
exchange program. People with
extra tickets would give them to
us for some sort of exchange, and
we would resell the tickets," he
said.
Though it is not illegal to scalp
tickets in Alabama, some regula­tions
and laws do exist to hinder
scalpers.
University police will take
Ictiqnjf scalpers are in the,s,tr.ee,t
and hindering traffic, Nevin said.
The University also uses strict,
no solicitation rules to stop
scalpers.
"As far as on campus, it's really
illegal to sell on campus because
of the no solicitation policy,"
Jackson said.
Other scalpers may face fines
and jail time if they are caught by
the revenue office.
"You have to buy a license from
the state that allows you to sell
tickets. If you get caught by the
revenue board selling without a
license you could face six months
in jail and a $20,000 fine," Salmon
said.
The laws in Alabama concern­ing
scalping tickets may be chang­ing.
Jackson said, "There is, I believe,
some work going on in the state
government that will make the
sale of hckerirabo,ve,6HginJF£Bs¥
illegal." "-"^i" ••'>••_

Farrakhan leads Million Man March in Washington
Several hundred thousand black Americans
converge on nation's capitol, celebrate unity
By Gloria P. Graham
Staff Writer
Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam
leader, led a Million Man March for the
black community Oct. 16, in
Washington, D.C.
The march was declared a day of
atonement, reconciliation and responsi­bility.
The professed purpose of the march
was to emphasize black men uniting to
repair the decline of the black commu­nity
and family and to take a stand on
social, economic and political issues
that effect the black community.
Several black leaders spoke during
the march. Leaders such as : Louis
Farrakhan, Maya Angelou, Jesse
Jackson and Rosa Parks spoke.
Qaadir Haamid, 04EE, was one of the
few students from the University who
were able to attend.
Haamid said he felt the march was a
time for blacks "to come together as one
in a peaceful manner."
Haamid also said, "African-American
Auburn students should gain a sense of
brotherhood from the march."
On campus that day, the Black
Student Union held a meeting in sup­port
of the march in Foy Union.
Nichole Robinson, 05IB, president of
BSU said the overall responses from
students at the meeting were in support
of the march.
Robinson said she felt the "march
was a wake-up call for America and the
black community. The black communi­ty
needs to take responsibility for our
own actions."
However, Ken Avery, 04CHE, said he
did not support the march.
Avery said, "(I) felt absolutely noth­ing
seeing the Million Man March on
television, but it provoked (me) to do
what he has to do for God."
He explained "as a black man and a
Christian, my responsibility is to go
where the need is in the black commu­nity
by ministering into underprivi­leged
communities."
Several students on campus were
asking the question, "Can you separate
the march from the leader Louis
Farrakhan?"
Joseph Wyatt, 01COM, and Robinson
said yes, the march can be separated
from Farrakhan.
Robinson went on to say, "We need to
look at the sole purpose of the march,
it's not a Muslim, Christian, man or
women thing.
"The march is for everybody. People
need to commit themselves and should
want to better themselves as an indi­vidual
as well as wanting to uplift their
community."
Avery said, "The march cannot be
separated from the leader."
Avery said he feels that Farrakhan is
"wishy-washy."
He said that he has "nothing against
brothers that attended the march."

Jury finds Black Panther member not guilty of arson
By Matthew Willett
Staff Writer
Christopher Lynn Johnson is a
free man today. Last Friday in
Montgomery a jury found
Johnson not guilty of federal
charges of arson and possession
of an unregistered destructive
device.
Johnson was accused of burn­ing
Randolph County High
School last summer after months
of controversy divided the east
Alabama town of Wedowee
along racial lines.
Johnson's four-day trial
brought the story of segregation,
racism and protest in Wedowee
to national attention again after
a year of speculation during
which Johnson steadfastly main­tained
his innocence.
The school burned August
1994 following months of out­rage
and protests concerning
former principal Hulond
Humphries. Humphries threat­ened
to cancel the prom if his
mandate banning interracial
dating was not followed.
In the settlement of a Justice
Department suit accusing the
Randolph County School
System of violating anti-segre­gation
orders, Humphries was
re-assigned to a position over­seeing
the school's reconstruc­tion.
Assistant U.S. Attorney David
Allred brought Janice Johnson,
Johnson's ex-wife, to the stand
where her testimony linked
Johnson to a paper bag filled
with fuel-soaked dirt which was
thought to have started the
blaze.
The federal prosecutors main­tained
that Johnson, a member
of the t Black Panther Militia
group his father, Rev. Errimett
Johnson, founded only days
before the burning, admitted to
the arson in secretly taped con-

versations.
Defense attorney Ron Wise
said, "The government had no
evidence to convict my client.
The three witnesses were paid
informants whose credibility
was very bad."
During the trial the defense
brought forward Humphries'
status as a suspect in the fire's
investigation.
Defense lawyers said
Humphries began several sen­tences
with "When I started the
fire," in answering investigators'
intense questioning.
Prosecutors characterized
Humphries' comments as slips
of the tongue.
U.S. District Attorney Redding
Pitt said, "I don't think it's
appropriate for me to comment
on that at this time. The jury has
returned its verdict."
Wise said his client is pleased
and relieved by the jury's deci­sion
which took less than three
hours' deliberation. He said
Johnson wants now to live the
rest of his life with his new wife.
A year after the burning
Wedowee hopes to move on, but
the bitter fruits of this saga of
discord and failed relations
among the townspeople have
yet to fade from memory.
The 680 students of Randolph
County High School continue to
attend school in temporary
classrooms though ground has
been broken on a new $3.4 mil­lion
high school.
Revonda Bowen, the student
Humphries allegedly labeled a
mistake by her parents, settled
for $25,000 in a suit brought
against the school system, but
neither she nor Johnson can be
called winners in this story that
has,no,wirmers. ^ oJ ^ ,..
The investigation intq,, the
school's burning is, at this time,
stalled in the water. "The matter
is under review," Pitt said. ASHLEY WRIGHT/Business Manager

The CoHege Consortium
for International Studies
By Christopher Brandon
Staff Writer ~~ ~
Hundreds of UFO enthusiasts and believ­ers
in the unknown gathered in Mobile,
Ala., last weekend for the third annual Gulf
Breeze UFO Conference.
The three-day conference was originally
scheduled to be held in Pensacola, Fla.
However, the event was moved to Mobile
because of the damage caused by Hurricane
Opal, Pat Crumbley, a director of Project
Awareness, said.
"Project Awareness was the sponsor of the
convention," Crumbley said, "and is an
organization that provides speakers about
UFO sightings."
The move to Mobile did not distract
guests from attending the event, Vicki
Lyons, another Project Awareness director,
said.
The convention is growing more success­ful
each year, she said.
"Guests at the conference came from 30
states and seven foreign countries," Lyons
said.
Lyons said most of the conference partici­pants
are college educated and are more
open-minded people.
Studying UFOs is a "fun and interesting
hobby" for many people, Lyons said.
Going to a UFO conference is a good
opportunity to get credible
information, she said.
Events at the convention
included an exhibit room, a
camera class and numerous
guest speakers who described
their experiences with UFOs
and other unexplained phe­nomenon.
Lyons said, "The lectures
included parallel universes,
government cover-ups, crop
circles and contact with alien
visitors. We try to cover all ™"""B^^—
aspects of UFO research."
A sky watch was also held Saturday
night, Lyons said.
At this event, participants "sit out on the
beach at night and look for UFOs in the
sky," she said.
Although they did. not see a UFO
. Saturday night/Lyons said, "We have had a
sighting at every conference we have had in
the past."
The convention was free, however, each
of the lectures cost $10 to attend.
An entire weekend package to attend all
of the lectures and various planned events
could be purchased for $160, Crumbley
said.
There is a charge for the lectures in order
to cover expenses such as food costs, travel­ing
expenses and reservation of the conven­tion
center, Lyons said.
% 6 The lectures included parallel universes,
government cover-ups, crop circles and contact with
alien visitors. We try to cover all aspects of UFO
research.
VICKI LYONS
Project Awareness
Lyons said many of the participants
bought the weekend pass.
About 850 to 1,000 people attended the
convention at various times, she said.
"The majority of them have seen UFOs,"
Crumbley said. , _ „__
"Most astronomers say it is highly unlike­ly
that UFO sightings are genuine,"
Michael Bozack, Auburn University profes- involved in a UFO cover-up are "absolutely
sor of astronomy, said. true," she said.
BRAD HANNA/Art Editor
"Most UFO reports can be explained by
natural phenomenon," Bozack said, "such as
atmospheric disturbances and swamp gas.
"However, there is another class of UFO
sightings like air force pilots seeing lights
that have never been explained. These
events are still open to research.
"No scientist believes UFOs are from this
solar system. They would have to come
^ ^ ^ ^ from another star system, and the
closest one would take four years
at the fastest speed to reach earth.
"If an alien species flew that far
to reach earth, they probably
would not make a covert opera­tion.
They would make them­selves
known," he said.
People are curious about UFOs
because of the interest in science
fiction, Bozack said.
He pointed out popular televi-
^^^mm sion shows like Star Trek and The
X-Files.
"There is a need in people to wonder
about traveling between planets and
through space," he said. "These things are
exciting."
Lyons, who "never misses" an episode of
The X-Files, said, "Most of the UFO informa­tion
on the show is credible."

A sign located on the Southern Union campus proclaims the new tuition increase will not alter the quality of the educational dollar there.
Local community college raises tuition
By Jonathon W. Lartigue
Staff Writer ~" ~~
Southern Union State
Community College, the only other
higher education institution in the
Auburn/Opelika area, has
increased its tuition for the third
time in as many years.
Founded in 1922, Southern
Union is the oldest junior college in
Alabama.
After having reduced appropria­tions
by nearly 10 percent, the
Alabama Board of Education
reached a decision last year to
increase Southern Union's tuition
by $3 per credit hour.
This increase, which went into
effect fall quarter, brings the col­lege's
tuition to $30.50 per credit
hour.
Compared to the $22 fee charged
in 1992, this recent increase repre­sents
nearly a 50 percent increase in
tuition in a three-year period.
Jimmy Clements, vice president
of academic services at Southern
Union, insists that the increased
tuition was unavoidable.
The increase is necessary because
of "a decline in state and federal
funds and a demand for better ser­vices
by students and the general
public," he said. "That demand is
frequently technology driven . . .
and that's expensive education.
"We're still the cheapest college
per credit hour that there is
around," he said. He doesn't
expect the increase in tuition to sig­nificantly
affect enrollment. "I
don't think it's affected students, if
enrollment is an indicator. The
junior college, for a segment of the
population, is still the best buy
there is," he said.
Most Southern Union students
were not concerned with the
increase in fees.
"It really doesn't have an affect on
me," Valerie Harris said. "It's only
$3."
Other students accepted the
increase as a necessary trade-off for
new facilities.
Phelix Lockhart said, "They've
built all these new buildings.
They've got to have a way to pay
for it."
Despite the tuition increase,
Southern Union still has less oper­ating
funds than it has had in the
past. The 10 percent decrease in
appropriations forced Southern
Union to operate with $700,000 less
than in recent years. The increase in
tuition only makes up for $400,000
of the lost funds.
With a net decrease capital of
more than $300,000, the junior col­lege
will have to re-evaluate its
spending.

some," Clements said. "Some posi­tions
may remain unfulfilled if
(those positions) don't affect the
classroom. We'll do any budget
cutting in areas that do not affect
the classroom."
According to Guy DiBenedetto,
an instructor for seven years at
Southern Union, the faculty isn't
overly concerned with the increase.
"We're still a bargain," he said.
"Our tuition is fairly low. As long
as our student body grows, we
won't have personnel cuts. I don't
think it has created much of a con­cern
on the part of the faculty."
Southern Union, which has an
enrollment of more than 4,500 stu­dents,
doesn't plan to continue its
recent trend of tuition increases,
Clements said.
"The state board of education
controls it," he said. "But we will
not be requesting that they consid­er
an additional increase."
Residents protest
Sand Hill landfill
By Kimberly Kozlowski
Staff Writer
Residents of Sand Hill protest­ed
long and hard against the
Auburn City Council's proposal
for an inert landfill at the City
Council meeting on Oct. 17.
The main concerns are about
standards of regulation, noise,
toxic waste leakage and devalua­tion
of property.
Dr. Conner Bailey, a property
owner, was concerned about the
noise pollution and inadequate
road services for the trucks.
"Why does the City Council
want to build an inert landfill in a
growing neighborhood where
there are a half dozen houses
close enough to throw a rock onto
the site?" Bailey asked.
Another Sand Hill resident,
Thomas Mills, said, "I am con­cerned
about the peace and sani­ty
of the neighborhood."
City Manager Doug Watson
said there was a six-month
process for the approval of a
landfill site.
But, he told the Council there is
a sense of urgency for finding a
replacement landfill because they
are running out of space at the
current site on Glenn Avenue.
Engineering plans and Council
public hearings are steps needed
for the approval.
Watson also said once a landfill
location is accepted, the city
would like to have it built within
one year.
Victor Vance, also a Sand Hill
resident, is in favor of the landfill.
But, there is vested interest for
Vance's involvement.
Vance's wife owns the 8-acre
site the city is considering for the
landfill.
"I am more concerned about
illegal dumping than having a
fenced in, monitored area for
dumping inert materials," Vance
said.
Yet, other community members
said they disagree with Vance's
motives because he will prosper
from rental of the land to the city.
The initial down payment for
the 15-year lease is $25,000. Then,
for the first five years of the lease
they would receive $375 per
month, $500 for the next five
years and $700 monthly for the
remaining five years.
Vance did contact the city when
he heard it was looking for a site.
Vance said his defense to his
upset neighbors is that after the
lease was terminated, he would
have no further use for the land
because he would not be able to
build anything on the property.
"I am attempting to satisfy the
needs of a growing community,"
Vance said.
As of now, there have been no
backup sites proposed to the
Auburn City Council.

Is this thing on?
University offers opportunity for students to
speak out on parking, semester/quarter debate
I n recent years, it seems as though there
has always been a debate between
University officials and students over
major issues.
Students cry, "There's not enough park­ing!"
The administration replies, "We'll do a
study!"
It seems the only solution to student woes
about various issues has been to form a com­mittee
and have a long, drawn-out study to
come to the conclusion that there really was
no reason to do a study in the first place
because there is no solution to the problem.
Well the studies have ended for both the
parking and semester/quarter committees
and on Monday, both are going to be open
for comment from students.
For this, The Plainsman praises them. But,
we also encourage students not to forget the
reason behind these gatherings.
They were formed for you, the student, fo
say how you feel about the proposed plans
for both the parking problem and the semes­ter/
quarter switch, so if s necessary for the
success of these meetings for students to
attend.
Don't let the administration get the feeling
we don't care about these things when we
have had them on our collective bitching and
moaning agenda for years.
The forums on parking are Monday at 3
p.m. and 5 p.m. in the Hotel and Conference
Center, and the forum for the semester/quar­ter
debate, which is part of the Student
Senate meeting is at 7 p.m.
Be there or be square!

University Program Council brings bigger
names, more variety for student's diverse tastes
Auburn is notorious for a lot of things.
But one of the most disturbing
things The Plainsman feels we are
notorious for is our lacking in the entertain­ment
department.
Last year's Tigermania, for the most part,
highlighted the talents of several comedic
acts. There was no major concert to speak of,
and there really wasn't a sense among the
students that UPC was doing anything spe­cial
for Homecoming, or for the students.
The rest of the year, aside from Hootie and
the Blowfish, was marked by the traditional
country concert and the slew of comedians
who really weren't all that funny, but came
with free pizza so people attended. But hey, I
guess we really can't complain about the free
. food part, huh?
But this year, it seems the tables have
turned and the University Program Council
has actually done a tremendous job with its
Tigermania and events up until that point.
Carrot Top's coming back this year, and
UPC actually learned it's lesson and put him
in the Coliseum so people can actually be a
part of the event.
They've gotten Rock 'n' Roll Hall of
Famers, the Allman Brothers, as the main act
for Friday night, and even have Edwin
McCain, a good band, opening up for them.
They have acoustic great David Wilcox on
Thursday, along with many other events
throughout the week.
The only problem we saw is the lack of cul­tural
diversity among the acts and the
crowds they normally attract, but that's
something to work on for next year. Congrats
UPC.
University = students
Quality improvement committee could be good
for Auburn, but needs more student input
Recently, the University, under the
leadership of the new Vice President
of Student Affairs Bettye Burkhalter, formed
a committee to study ways to improve the
Auburn under the new budget restraints.
The committee in itself is a good idea. It's
inception shows that Auburn is attempting to
p revent any major catastrophes before they
have a chance to happen.
The major decisions are being made by a
large committee, made of both faculty and
students, but the driving force behind the
study is the "core committee," which only
includes a couple of students along with a
host of faculty.
The Plainsman's beef with the committee is
that it does not include enough student input
about a subject which primarily affects stu­dents
in the place where it needs it most, the
core committee.
This phenomena is not isolated to this one
committee.
It seems that it is a trend running rampant
throughout the sea of committees and studies
formed to "benefit students."
We are the reason this University was
formed; we are the reason it is still standing.
We are the reason there is a quality to be
improved, and if s about time the University
starts to recognize it.
It seems like every time a new issue is
raised, the students are snubbed in favor of
faculty input, which is just another slap in
the face to those of us who do care about the
destiny of this University.
Students care on a deeper level than facul­ty
ever could; the University should just real­ize
that.

Fraternities offer brotherhood
Hazing has once again reared its
ugly head.
This time the victims are the
pledges of Kappa Alpha.
It appears the boys from the Old
South decided to do things to
pledges that most people wouldn't
do to animals.
Thank goodness they were
caught before anyone was hurt or
killed.
Unfortunately, this has once
again shed a negative light over
Auburn's fraternity system.
This is the fourth fraternity in as
many years to be put on probation
for hazing violations.
The problem the fraternity sys­tem
now faces is a tough one. How
do we prove that we are not all the
same and that the actions taken by
these fraternities are exceptions to
the rule, not the rule itself.
I have been active in my frater­nity
since I arrived on West
Georgia College's campus four
years ago. I have seen the fraterni­ty
system there, and I have seen
the fraternity system here at
Auburn as an affiliate member of
my fraternity.
The purpose of a fraternity is to
bring similar minds and similar
people together to form a collec­tive
group. This group then grows
and participates in campus events,
J IM
ALRED
charitable organizations and many
other things to help its members
grow.
Most fraternity members will
profess that they were scared
freshman when first arriving on
campus and that participation in a
fraternity helped them to achieve
things they didn't think were pos­sible.
Fraternities offer leadership pos­sibilities
and also offer many
chances to expand ones horizons.
The bad thing is that fraternities
also provide an environment for
the possibility of abuse.
It is this abuse that continually
forces fraternities to fight against
the negative images the majority
of people have of them.
Not all fraternities are Animal
House. Not all fraternities are the
Franciscan Monks either.
Alcohol and other bad things are
present at some fraternity func­tions.
However, I have been to few
non-fraternity parties where these
same things weren't present.
It's just easier to non-Greeks to
point fingers at the fraternities.
It is also easier for the University
to lay the blame of hazing on fra­ternities.
Granted there have been
several incidents that were hazing,
but some incidents officially classi­fied
as hazing are far less serious
than some people think. There is
also a bad habit to only bring fra­ternities
up on hazing charges.
I hate to tell the University and
its officials, but several University
clubs, organizations and sports all
violate the University's hazing pol­icy.
However, only Greek organiza­tions
have been officially charged
with hazing violations.
We are not evil. We do not force
all pledges to drink until they
puke and then make them stand in
their own waste.
Our purpose is to bring together
people and unite them in brother­hood.
It's just too bad that some orga­nizations
have to tarnish the repu­tation
of the entire system.

They descend, like vultures
upon the patio of Foy Union on
sunny days.
Their victims: penniless college
students seeking free stuff. They
happily bestow gifts such as T-shirts,
books, CDs, mugs and
Frisbees (now contraband) upon
all who pass by.
The only catch is that usually
they send you a credit card or
something and then they start
billing you for the benefit of hav­ing
their card.
I learned this the hard way, and
I'm still getting bills for some
phantom card that I never got or
used.
After receiving about five bills
saying I owed a $20 annual fee, I
called the company.
Me: "Hey man, I've never used
ANDY
O'DONNELL
this card you all are billing me for.
What's up?"
Them: "Sorry sir, we'll take care
of: it. It's all good."
Me: "Alright then, peace out."
Then I received another bill and
called them again.
And again.
And again.
I'm still getting bills to this day.
All this for a free T-shirt that
wasn't even cool looking. It just
said the bank's name on it and
some catchy phrase like "10 per­cent
APR because we're cool like
dat" or some other wanna-be
trendy saying.
Now, I like free stuff as much as
the next guy. I'm not a communist
or none of that, but let's have a lit­tle
more variety and a lot less in-your-
face, sign-your-life-away
stuff.
Everyone now has their quota of
T-shirts. It's time that we let the
companies know what college kids
really want: 1. Free beer. 2. CDs
with real groups on them. 3. In­state
residency 4. Boxer shorts 5.
Fireworks 6. Bottle opener key
chains 7. Coupons for free meals.
8. The opportunity to hunt down
Bob Sagat from America's Funniest
Home Videos and cause him great
pain. 9. Free beer And last but not
least: 10. Free beer.
Until corporate America realizes
these T-shirts are losing their
appeal we must either stop being
sucked into the spell, or find other
uses for our ever increasing
wardrobe.
So next time you're at The Spur,
try this one. "HEY BABY, FREE T-SHIRT?
" or maybe "From the
moment I saw you my heart said
she needs a free T-shirt."
Andy O'Donnell is a Staff Writer
for The Auburn Plainsman.
Everyone has their story to tell
When my roommate and I
stepped out of the truck the Friday
morning after the hurricane, we
could see a small, older lady
sweeping her driveway.
"Are you boys here to help?" she
asked.
"Yes ma'am," we answered.
"I'll be happy to pay you," she
said.
"No ma'am, just give us some
cold water, and we'll be fine."
The lady was Mrs. Charles Fuller,
a resident of South Gay Street
whose yard was almost destroyed
in the path of Hurricane Opal.
The day before, one of my room­mates
and I took a bike ride down
Gay and decided it had to be one of
the hardest hit areas in Auburn.
We decided Thursday afternoon
we needed a "warm fuzzy" and
agreed we would get up and do
some feel-good work Friday.
A lot of the areas had already
been cleaned up, but the area on
Gay where we stopped had not
been touched by power crews or
tree companies.
We began cleaning up the
Fullers' yard and though it was a
slow process, we could gradually
see things getting better.
During a water break, we got to
chat with Charles Fuller and found
GREG
WALKER
out he is a very interesting man.
As a contractor, Mr. Fuller has
built or help build close to half of
the University.
He laid the bricks on Haley
Center, Telfair Peet Theatre, the hill
dorms, Funchess Hall and most of
the vet school.
We talked football and politics
and all those male subjects, and he
told us how Auburn has changed
over the years.
He told us how he lost 20 pounds
working on Haley Center. He told
us how his hands used to be so raw
from laying bricks he would easily
get blisters.
He couldn't tell us why Haley
Center is so confusing on the
inside, but that was okay.
Mrs. Fuller actually got in her car
and scoured town looking for ice
for our cold water.
These are the kind of people I
would like to be when I grow up —
hard-working and caring people.
Though Mr. Fuller lost about 75
percent of his trees, he still man­aged
to smile because " I still have
my house," he said.
"During the last big storm, all of
my neighbors trees were lost, and
mine were saved, so I guess it was
my turn," he said.
We left during the evening and
came back the next morning before
the football game to finish up.
These people didn't ask us to
help, but I am glad we went. The
Fullers are the type of people the
Auburn community was built on,
and though most of the time stu­dents
will complain about Auburn
and how the citizens don't care
about them, I can say I met some
that do.
This taught me a valuable lesson
about taking the time to get to
know the people I meet. In journal­ism,
there is a saying that everyone
is a story or has a story to tell. Now
I know that is true.
I am just sorry it took a hurricane
to bring us together.

City bike ordinance foolish
Editor, The Plainsman:
I was glad to see that the bicy­cle
ordinance made the front page
of the paper this week. One thing
the article did not mention was
that section three of the ordinance
prohibits me (or anyone else)
from locking my bicycle to a
parking meter. The penalty for
doing so is impoundment of the
bike and a fine of $100.
So, if I park my car without
putting a quarter in the meter, I
get a ticket for $2. If I park my
bike, it does not matter how
many quarters I put in the meter,
it will be gone when I get back. It
sort of makes me wonder if those
downtown merchants are really
complaining. Most of the people I
know who own businesses are
not this stupid.
This law has the mark of
cliquish junior leaguers sitting in
an expensively furnished living
room cluck clucking about how
"Students have just ruined down­town"
and "Why would they
want to ride a dirty old bicycle
when they could drive their
Mercedes instead?"
Since the city of Auburn has
managed to disenfranchise stu­dents,
there is not a whole lot we
can do about the ordinance. We
could boycott downtown busi­nesses,
but this law is just too
silly to warrant such a negative
approach.
A better approach might be for
everyone who thinks the bike
ordinance is stupid to go down­town
next Friday at 3 p.m. and
just hang around for a little while.
Buy yourself a soft drink (and if
you see a cop on a bike, buy him
one too), socialize and let the
merchants see what they are in
danger of losing.

AU, UF fans show hospitality, not hatred, during game
Editor, The Plainsman:
While in Auburn for the
Florida-Auburn football game, I
read the Oct. 12,1995, issue of The
Auburn Plainsman with interest.
While I was impressed with the
general quality of the student
produced newspaper, your
unsigned editorial entitled "Rah,
rah, rah?" concerned me. The
unsigned editorial apparently
reflects the views of your editorial
board, according to the informa­tion
at the bottom of the editorial
page. The generalization based on
isolated incidents and anecdotal
reports of poor treatment of
Auburn football fans in
Gainesville, Fla., is unwarranted.
It is just as inappropriate to
stereotype all Florida football fans
based on the poor behavior of a
few overzealous cretins as it is to
suggest that all Auburn fans nec­essarily
display a "tradition of ,. i;.
class." - n )i;i .., w _.. ;. , ,,.
Further, it is naive and unbe­lievably
narrow-minded to sug­gest
or believe that at Auburn
"fans from other schools are
never spit on or beat up, and fam­ilies
with children that have trav­eled
hundreds of miles sometimes
are never subject to foul language
and rude comments." Isolated
examples of such rude behavior
occur in Auburn as well as every
other city.
Two years ago in Auburn at the
Florida-Auburn game, I experi­enced
both the best and worst in
behavior which Auburn
University has to offer. Before the
game, my girlfriend and I were in
need of directions. We struck up a
conversation with a group of
Auburn fans tailgating outside
the stadium and were invited to
join them. Before the afternoon
was over, we had made some
new friends and were pleased to
be able to carry tales of the gra­cious
hospitality we received at
Auburn back to the unbelieving
throngs in Florida.
Justas /your fans have related a
history'of mistreatment while iri
Gainesville, most Gator fans
whom I know have horror stories
to share about how they were
treated in Auburn. We were
pleased to be able to dispel some
of the unwarranted stereotyping
of Auburn fans. Our experience at
Auburn would have been com­plete,
despite the loss the Gators
suffered at Jordan-Hare Stadium
that day, but for the behavior of
certain Auburn fans in the stadi­um.
I was fortunate enough before
the game to have obtained excel­lent
seats on the 50-yard line on
the alumni side of the field in
Jordan-Hare stadium.
Unfortunately, a group of Auburn
fans immediately behind us in the
stands engaged in most profane
and racist behavior directed at the
Auburn and Gator players I have
ever experienced at a
Southeastern Conference football
game. This conduct was particu­larly
troubling as the most vocal
fan had taught his about 12-year-old
son to behave in the same,
fashion. These fans continued to
scream and yell obscenities and
racist comments in the presence

Glomerata editor apologizes
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing in response to
George O. Sneed's letter to the
editor in the Oct. 19 edition of The
Plainsman. I would like to apolo­gize
to anyone who feels they
were treated rudely when having
their independent photo made.
I would also like to clarify that
the people who schedule and
take independent photos are not
students of the University. They
are contracted by the Glomerata
and do not make up the staff of
the Glomerata.
The students responsible for
the production of the Glomerata
work long, hard hours to produce
an award-winning yearbook.
I, as editor, do not feel that any
one of the people I interviewed
for positions on the Glomerata
would ever be rude or inconsid­erate
while representing the
Glomerata.
Again, I would like to apolo­gize
for any insensitivity, and
clarify that this "rudeness" was
not from a student staff member.

Students don't get fair shake
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Auburn Police Department
is the greatest in the world. If you
believe that one, I have some
land that I own in Florida I
would like to sell you.
I would like to state that as a
student here at Auburn, I do not
feel the students here are treated
fairly and justly. The job descrip­tion
of the police is "to protect
and serve" not "to harass and
annoy." These police would
rather arrest an innocent person
for breaking up a fight than solve
an unknown death of a student,
like the one that happened at the
apartments on Genelda Avenue
this past summer. It really shows
just how much they care about
the well-being of the students
here at Auburn.
And if you are arrested by the
police and have to appear in
court before the judge, you may
as well stop by the bank and
withdraw all available funds,
because you are going to have to
pay them for one thing or anoth­er.
In the courtroom, you are
guilty until proven innocent, not
innocent until proven guilty. If
the word innocent was to be said
in the courtroom, whomever said
it would probably be found in
contempt. And once you are
found "guilty,"and 99.9 percent
of the time you will be, the judge
makes you take a class at the
alcohol and drug prevention cen­ter
in Opelika, no matter what
the offense he found you guilty
of, and it will cost you another
$110 beyond the cost of your fine
and court costs.
I just feel the students that are
here at college to learn and get a
degree are not receiving a fair
shake, but rather are constantly
harassed by the police. I am just
wondering if there are any other
students that attend Auburn that
feel the same way that I do?

of women and children.
Finally, they were physically
confrontational and tried to pro­voke
a fight with us because we
were Gator fans. This behavior
was inexcusable and reflected
poorly on Auburn and its "tradi­tion
of class."
However, I believe the behavior
to be an isolated example and cer­tainly
not characteristic of the
manner in which Auburn fans
generally conduct themselves.
Rather than focusing on the poor
behavior of a few, I chose instead
to focus on the exemplary behav­ior
of the majority.
I suspect that the better
approach for your editorial board
would be to do the same when it
comes to evaluating the behavior
of fans from other Southeastern
Conference schools and particu­larly
the University of Florida. No
school has perfectly behaved fans
and a minority will always bring
discredit to us all. * n * *
I am a Southeastern Conference
football fan and specifically a
Florida fan. I have had the oppor­tunity
to attend SEC games in
Gainesville and at various other
universities over the last 25 years,
and it is my experience that
behavior is generally uniform at
all SEC campus sites. The vast
majority of all football fans are
mannerly, orderly and gracious
while a minority reflects poorly
on us all. No university in the
Southeastern Conference can
claim to have market cornered on
either good or bad behavior.
By the way, we again experi­enced
gracious hospitality during
our visit to Auburn this past
weekend and thoroughly enjoyed
our visit. The majority of Auburn
fans were well-behaved and lived
up the "tradition of class" to
which you referred in your
unsigned editorial.
However, I was offended at the
conduct of the few fans who
chose to shower Florida wide
receiver Chris Doering with
debris after his last touchdown
reception. Rather than character­ize
85,000 Auburn fans as lacking
in class because of the behavior of
a few, I will again carry stories
back to Florida about the gracious
hospitality we received in
Auburn.
I believe your editorial reflects
poorly both on Florida fans and
Auburn fans alike. Both universi­ties
and fans should continue to
strive for a "tradition of class" to
ensure that all fans can have an
enjoyable and memorable experi­ence
at the game, win or lose.
Stereotyping members of a group
is seldom accurate, and I would
expect a better editorial board of
a student produced newspaper at
a major Southern university in
this day and time.
Thanks to the majority of
Auburn fans for the hospitality
this past weekend. We look for­ward
to seeing y'all in Gainesville
next year. Please stop by and say
hello. We'll be the ones wearing
orange and blue. We have some
hospitality we want to return.
C. Michael Barnette
Spirit lives on through loss
Editor, The Plainsman:
On Saturday, Oct. 14,1 was
glued to my television, as was
every other Auburn fan not fortu­nate
enough to have a ticket to
the Florida game. My two chil­dren
were there, Brant, CE 1993;
and Kelley, a pharmacy student.
And as every other Auburn per­son,
I too was somewhat dis­mayed
at the outcome of the
game. Although I love to win,
and I love to beat Spurrier and
the Gators, I will have to take
issue with Vince Lombardi's say­ing,
"Winning is everything."
After the Stephen Davis touch­down
near the end of the fourth
quarter, I suppose I am not the
only optimist that calculated one
more touchdown, a two point
conversion and a field goal would
allow us to at least escape with a
tie. This would only mean that
we would have to recover two
on-side kicks and successfully
complete the other three tasks,
plus stop the Florida offense in
the middle of all that.
Stranger things have happened.
Near miracles had happened in
our last two encounters with the
Gators. None of the above took
place. None of the Florida fans
had to send Coach Bowden ugly
ties like the Syracuse fans did
after the bowl game many years
ago.
So, where did this leave the
Auburn family? It left me on the
couch with a huge lump in my
throat. Not because we had lost
the game, but because in the
background, over the television
commentary, I could hear thou­sands
of the Auburn faithful
chanting, "It's great to be an
Auburn Tiger." It left our valiant
team on the field with heavy
hearts. But they were not disput­ing
the call.
It was a lot more evident on
television that the on-side kick
had only traveled nine yards than
it probably was to the player that
caught the ball. Yet, he kept his
emotions inside. And our coach
was not throwing his visor on the
ground. And he was not chewing
out the player that could not
count 10 yards.
Some things about Auburn just
aren't what they were in 1966.1
can't imagine freshmen not get­ting
football tickets. The wave
was replaced by "Rumble, rum­ble,
eat 'em up Tigers." Some
things are improved. The Tiger
Walk. The seniors taking the trip
around the track on
Homecoming. The beautiful sta­dium.
But the one thing that has not
changed, the ever present Auburn
spirit. Losing is never as good as
winning. To an Auburn fan there
are no moral victories. But last
Saturday I was so proud to be an
Auburn person, and I thought to
myself that I hoped my two chil­dren
were among the thousands
chanting, "It's great to be an
Auburn Tiger." It truly is.

Spades
battle bad
reputation
By Tim Allen
Staff Writer
The honors group at Auburn known as Spades
has been accused of being racist and sexist by
several former students.
Former Spade and current journalism depart­ment
head Jerry Brown said, "Most years it prob­ably
was."
Although the Spades are a white, male-domi­nated
group, Brown said the purpose of the
group is to strive for what is in the best interest of
Auburn, but that the group is run by people, and
"When real people are involved, you don't
always achieve your goal."
Auburn Athletic Director David Housel is also
a former Spade. He said, "Spades is a group that
strives for the improvement of Auburn
University. There are a lot of opinions about what
is best for Auburn, and no one has cornered the
market on right opinions."
The Spades have often been compared to the
Machine at the University of Alabama, which
controlled campus politics. However, both
Brown and Housel said the Spades don't have
that kind of power.
"There was a case many years ago when the
Spades had influence over student government
and other areas of the University," Housel said.
"The illusion of power is often more powerful
than having actual power," Brown said.
"However, many years ago they (Spades) tried to
fix SGA elections and were told that if anything
like that ever happened again/ the group would
be disbanded."
Spades are usually chosen because of their
position at Auburn, Brown said. SGA officers,
noted athletes, Plainsmmfjsjpjfesgs qgid other;
im^^l}p^pleatAubWpj^S^;<hojsei^
he said.' ' se><8&«.-
"Many people think only Spades are chosen for
these prominent positions, but in my case and
most others, I was already the editor of the
Plainsman when I was chosen as a Spade," Brown
said.
Much of the recent controversy began when
last year's Plainsman editor, Jan Clifford, was not
selected to be a Spade, Brown said.
Since the group was founded in 1915, there
have been about 800 men and only four women
selected, according to the Mobile Register.
Brown also said that the makeup of the group
was mostly fraternity men. "This was mainly
because a social fraternity could sponsor some­one
for membership to Spades easier than other
groups," he said.
Other noted Spades from Auburn include Gov.
Fob James, Apollo 13 astronaut Ken Mattingly,
1971 Heisman trophy winner Pat Sullivan and
former Lt. Gov. George McMillan Jr.
Housel said that being a Spade "has not really
provided me with certain advantages over other
people in my life. It was just an honor to be

Pumpkin: a large, round,
orange-yellow, gourd-like fruit
with many seeds.
The pumpkin isn't like the
other fruits. I don't even think it's
in the fruit section of your local
grocery store. No folks, the
pumpkin is a loner . . . a rebel.
Sure the other fruits mock it, but
do not pity the pumpkin my
friends. Once a year the pumpkin
has an entire evening to itself,
and on that sacred night the
pumpkin is king.
What am I getting at here?
Halloween of course! The only
night of the year that the pump­kin
gets the spotlight. Sure it
tastes horrible, but look at that
carving surface. This could be a
chance for artistic expression.
Well, here in Auburn we cele­brate
the glorious pumpkin with
a very special event, the pumpkin
fest.
For the last seven years those
crazy sleepless architecture stu­dents
have held a pumpkin carv­ing

Cafeteria redesigns for student convenience
By Kimberly Koslowski
Staff Writer
Foy Union will soon be empow­ered
as Auburn's all-around student
services area.
The under-utilized area of the War
Eagle cafeteria will be turned into an
extension of CopyCat, with an
increased number of _ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
high speed copiers,
director of auxiliary
enterprises Bob
Rittenbaugh said.
The area of the cafete­ria
previously known
as the student smoking
section will be the des­ignated

area.
Until recently Foy
Union did not realize it ^ W H OM
had been in violation of
a smoke free building policy, and, as
of now, they are uncertain how a
replacement smoking area will be
resolved, Rittenbaugh said.

Along with the renovations, there
is a possibility of expanding the
hours and improving the lights for
students who wish to study in War

He said the construction is being
done internally by the University
Facility Unit.
"They did the work on the
University Bookstore in about two
and a half months, and it turned out
beautifully.
"If all the materials come in on
time, the work should be completed

Ritenbaugh said.
The estimated cost of
the renovation is
$75,000. This is paid
for by the Food

Copycat taking the
money out of their
own reserve,
Rittenbaugh said.
• M ^ H B B The design
work for War Eagle
is being done internally as well. A
University architect, Tom Duzan, is
on that staff.
Foy Union hopes to have the all
services implemented by the time
students return from winter break,

Julxe Vascocu
Ministon, Ma.
Q: What are the requirements for being
Miss Homecoming, according to the

A: Last year I was a Tigerette, and I felt
like I really had an impact. And this year
I served as a War Eagle Girl. Both orga­nizations
are able to contribute to
Homecoming.
Q: What makes Auburn such a special
place?
A: Although it's a large campus, every­one
seems to take you in as their family.
I immediately had great friends and felt
like Auburn was one big family.

The Miss Homecoming campaign begins on Sunday, Oct. 29 and ends Wednesday, Nov. 1 at midnight. The voting will begin at 8
a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2 and will end that day at 4 p.m.
Students can vote for Miss Homecoming at 43 locations on campus with their student identification card. Results of the election will
be announced at halftime of theHomecoming game on Saturday, Nov. 4. Miss Homecoming 1995 will be presented with a silver bowl
from the past Miss Homecoming, Miss Auburn and Gov. Fob James.
Leah Thomas, SGA Director of Elections, said that this year, SGA hopes to increase Miss Homecoming's responsibilities so that they

Auburn lends hand to United Way campaign
The University is participating in the 1996 campaign for the United
Way of Lee County. President William V. Muse said a goal of $135,000
has been set.
The Lee County campaign's overall goal is $700,000.
Muse encouraged Auburn employees to give at least the standard
United Way contribution, one hour of pay per month, through payroll
deductions.
"Since Auburn is such an integral part of the community, it is impor­tant
that University people support this effort that serves 42 agencies
and worthy causes in the county," Muse said.
"Even though we face many challenges this year, I am confident that
the Auburn family will rise to the occasion and achieve that goal," he
said.

Bowden gets parking tickets lifted at FSU
Florida State University's student newspaper, the Florida Flambeau,
has acquired a set of internal memos that show university parking
services dismissed a number of parking tickets for football coach
Bobby Bowden and at least 13 players at Bowden's request.
The players were given tickets when they parked illegally in spaces
outside Doak Campbell Stadium during Christmas break. However,
campus parking policies are enforced year-round.
Bowden's office would not comment on the memos.
UGA's Homecoming court has a new addition
The All-Campus Homecoming Committee at the University of
Georgia at Athens has decided the school will no longer have a Miss
Homecoming.
Mr. and Ms. Bulldawg will replace the traditional homecoming
court. These changes are the result of the All-Campus Homecoming
Committee's efforts to make the contest as non-discriminatory as pos­sible

let the students work on the pumpkins
during studio time on Friday afternoon, she
said.
"They're only asked to clean them out before
the studio session," Parker said.
When the pumpkins are finished they're
presented that Friday evening in the courtyard
of Dudley Hall.

University," he said.
Although Brown said he did not always
favor the group's policy of secrecy, he did feel
that the discussion and ideas shared at meet­ings
were helpful to him as a newspaper man.
Continued from B-1
Both Housel and Brown said they are rarely
involved with any of the current activities of
Spades, but Brown said that some former
members do get involved.
Other current or former members of Spades
were unwilling to comment.
Parker said, "The students are given no lim­its
to their creativity. There was one last year
inside of a bottle floating in water. Two years
ago there was a pumpkin carved into a lion's
head that was amazing."
Last year's presentation was a sight to
behold. Candles are placed inside each pump­kin
and they're all lined up all over the court­yard.
The creativity of these architecture students
is astounding.
"This year we're trying to get more little
kids to come all dressed up in their costumes,"
Parker said.
There will be T-shirts specially made for this
year's event. There will also be a hot chocolate
stand set up by the landscape department. In
the past the pumpkins have been judged by
professors in the architecture department.
This year the first prize winner may receive a
gift certificate from Ander's Bookstore worth
about $150.
This Halloween weekend pumpkins will
truly be in the spotlight. Come out and cele­brate
the pumpkin this Friday night. If any­thing,
it's a great date idea. A chilly, spooky
evening has its ways of bringing couples clos­er
together.
Drunk drivers face tougher consequences
Fall quarter is the time for many
parties and celebrations on campus.
Many people around campus drink
alcohol, sometimes to extreme lev­els,
on the weekends. And, unfortu­nately,
some people drive under the
influence of alcohol and other
drugs. However, these people may
not know about the driving under
the influence laws and some recent
changes that may affect them.
As always, if you are pulled over
as a suspected intoxicated driver,
you will be requested to take a
number of sobriety tests. If your
tests indicate you are intoxicated,
you will be arrested and the officer
will take you to the police station
and give you a breath test to deter­mine
your blood-alcohol level.
In Alabama, the legal limit has
now been lowered to .08 percent
blood-alcohol level, and there is a
mandatory 90 -day license suspen­sion.
If you refuse the sobriety
tests, you have violated the law of
"implied consent," which is present
in all 50 states.
This law stipulates that by oper­ating
a motor vehicle on public
roads or highways, you have
agreed to take sobriety tests upon
request. If you refuse this test, your
license will be confiscated, usually
to be suspended for one year.
Even if your blood-alcohol level
is under .08 percent, you can still
be charged with a DUI. The law
states that to be charged with a
DUI, you only have to be impaired.
To detect impairment, the law
enforcement officers will have the
suspected driver perform a series
of field sobriety tests. If you cannot
successfully complete these tests,
you can be declared impaired and
arrested for DUI.
Some states have a zero tolerance
policy for drivers under the age of
21. In all 50 states, it is against the
law to consume alcohol if you are
under the age of 21.
The states with zero tolerance
lower the legal blood-alcohol level
to .02% or less for those under the
age of 21.
This means that if you are under
21 and get stopped for suspicion of
DUI, you could be arrested if you
have any blood-alcohol level above
zero percent. This law is still pend­ing
in the Alabama Legislature.
For some, this information is
very frightening and sobering.
Please use this information to
adjust your own behavior so that
you or your friends do not have to
face these consequences or worse,
have to face charges for killing
someone by driving drunk.

Training camp develops battle skills in ROTC cadets
By Michael Pennington
Staff Writer
During the summer when many stu­dents
are returning home, the Ms 3, or
junior, cadets in the Army ROTC program
are attending a rigorous six-week
advanced training camp.
Claire Nelson, 04CR, an Ms 4 (senior)
cadet in charge of public relations, said,
"How you do at camp will weigh on what
kind of commission you get."
She said in the first two years of the pro­gram,
cadets learn the look and feel of the
Army's ROTC program at Auburn.
Col. Robert Webb, the head of the Army
ROTC detachment, said, "First you've got
to crawl, then you've got to walk, and then
you've got to run."
This is why the Ms 3 year is the toughest
year the cadets will face at Auburn, at least
in the ROTC program, Nelson said. "We
put our cadets through hell," she said.
However, she said the cadets are well
prepared. In fact, two Ms 3s at the
advanced camp in Fort Lewis, Wash., were
the best in their regiments, she said.
At the camp there are about seven regi­ments,
each comprised of 300 cadets from
around the country, Nelson said.
The two cadets, Philip "Cain" Baker,
04IB, and Mathew Rader, 04CJ, scored the
highest in their regiments in terms of mili­tary
proficiency, she said.
Nelson said the cadets are put through
all kinds of rigors that test their aptitude
and skill in several areas, three of which
comprise the military proficiency score.
Camp guidelines state that the tests
which comprise the military proficiency
score are basic rifle marksmanship, land
navigation and the Army physical fitness
test.
Out of a possible 1,000 points, Baker
scored 938, and Rader scored 886, Nelson
said.
For their outstanding performance, both
cadets receive the Milner Trophy, which is
awarded to the top cadets in military skills
within a regiment.
"It reflects that we have superior train­ing,
and that we are one of the best ROTC
programs in the nation," Nelson said.
Baker and Rader said they believe the
ROTC unit at Auburn has some of the best
staff, duty officers and cadre in the country.
The proof of their opinion lies in two areas.
The first is the overall performance of
Auburn cadets at the camp.
In all of the events, according to the
information released by the camp, Auburn
scored much higher than the national stan­dard
for 1995.
Webb said, "We expose them to every­thing
we can to get them ready for camp."
"We run a program that is very challeng­ing.
We work hard to prepare them," he
said.
Nelson said, "We have not had any
cadets drop out."
Also, Nelson said the Auburn ROTC
detachment is a recipient of the MacArthur
Award for 1995.
"The MacArthur Award is something
that is not easy to get," Nelson said.
Webb said that only the top 10 percent of
units in the nation are eligible for this

award, and only four are given out annual-
Additionally, he said that the success of
the students is not only because of the pro­gram
but is also because of the quality of
students that consistently enter the ROTC
program at Auburn.
Webb said, "Our whole goal is teaching
people to be leaders. We use military skill
as a vehicle for leadership training."
Head of Fisheries department retires after 31 years in Auburn
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Bill Rogers, a pioneer in fisheries, retired as department head in August.
By Christopher Brandon
Staff Writer
Despite quitting school after com­pleting
the eighth grade, Bill Rogers
eventually became department head
of fisheries and allied aquacultures.
Rogers retired as department head
of fisheries on Aug. 31,1995. He was
on the Auburn faculty since 1964
when he began work on his doctoral
degree in fish parasitology.
Describing his childhood, Rogers
said, "I lived mostly in Mississippi,
and a formal education wasn't
important to me." Rogers said he
quit school and later completed the
GED while in the Navy.
Rogers said he left the Navy at the
end of the Korean War to return
home to Mississippi. He and his
brother enrolled in Mississippi
Southern College, which is now
University of Southern Mississippi.

"I didn't even know what a major
was," Rogers said. He said his broth­er
suggested he study forestry.
However, he was placed in wildlife
biology because forestry was not yet
a major at Mississippi Southern, he
said. "I couldn't even spell biology,"
Rogers said.
Rogers said he completed his
degree in only two and a half years,
then began working as a wildlife
biologist at the Mississippi Game
and Fish Division where he worked
with an Auburn graduate. This rela­tionship
led him to enroll in
Auburn's master's program, he said.
"I came to Auburn in 1957," he
said. He was offered a graduate
assistantship in the fisheries depart­ment.
Rogers completed his master's and
then worked for two years at the
Alabama Wildlife Service. He
returned to Auburn in 1964 to pursue
a doctoral degree. Since then, Rogers
has remained on the Auburn faculty
in the fisheries department.
"Auburn has the most outstanding
fisheries program in the world,"
Rogers said. "There was no point in
going anywhere else."
During his tenure at Auburn,
Rogers established many disease
control guidelines for raising com­mercial
catfish. He has also con­tributed
many scientific papers, book
chapters and reports in the study of
fish parasitology to the field of farm-raised
fish.
"I've described and named about
100 species of fish parasites," he said.
"And that is immortality." Rogers'
name will be credited with those
spedes and their research forever.
Receiving numerous honors for his
teaching and research, Rogers began
advancing in the faculty and eventu­ally
became the fisheries department
head.
He said he is most proud of the
influence he has had on his students.
"I have had about 45 graduate stu­dents,"
Rogers said. "Many of them
have gone on to be leaders in the
field all over the world."
Now that he is retired, Rogers said
he plans to spend time gardening,
hunting and fishing. "Right now, I
am cutting up trees and helping my
family clean up after the hurricane,"
he said.
John Jensen, a fisheries extension
specialist, is now the acting depart­ment
head of fisheries.
"Filling Dr. Rogers' shoes is a very
humbling experience," Jensen, who
was once a student of Rogers, said.
"Dr. Rogers is a pioneer in the field of
farm-raised fish. The industry that
exists today wouldn't have devel­oped
without him."

Fall 5K is Auburn's newest tradition
By Kelly Dyer
Assistant Copy Editor
This year the Auburn Student
Government Association spon­sored
the first ever Auburn Fall 5-
kilometer run on Thursday, Oct.
12, a race held in conjunction
with the University of Florida
football game.
Jennifer Magnolfi, SGA Cabinet
member who coordinated the
race, said the idea for the race
was brought up during the sum­mer
as a "fun run."
"We came up with the idea as a
fun run to boost SGA awareness,
but it ended up being a commu­nity
project in the end," Magnolfi
said.
SGA and area bu
