Construction ties up downtown, blocks parking
STEVEN BARNETT/Assistant Photo Editor
Resurfacing on Magnolia Avenue between Gay and Wright
streets has caused problems for downtown businesses
BY ANDREA EDWARDS
STAFF WRITER
If you have driven past Magnolia Avenue this
week, you may have noticed it has been
blocked off between Gay and Wright streets.
The question is why?
Robert Smith, the engineering inspection
manager for the city of Auburn, said this por­tion
of Magnolia Avenue is being resurfaced.
The asphalt is being removed because cracks
have appeared on the surface, he said.
"It was something that the city manager and
the City Council decided to do," he said. "This
project will help the looks of downtown a lot."
Although Smith said businesses along this
stretch of Magnolia Avenue may be suffering
from the construction, this was the only time
the city could get the milling machine to mill
the road.
No compensation is paid to these businesses
from the city, but Smith said the workers are
doing their best to finish as soon as possible.
"We hope to be finished by this Thursday," he
said.
"Although we've had to block off parking
spaces, people can still walk to the businesses
if they need to," Smith said.
"We've got to keep our roads up," he said.
According to some local businesses located
along Magnolia Avenue, the construction has
affected their everyday sales because of the
lack of parking spaces.
Heath Cagle, manager of Subzone, said, "We
have been affected because few people take the
time to try to find a parking space."
"We've still had business but it has been
slower than normal because of the construc­tion,"
he said.
Marie Baker, the manager of Toomer's Drugs,
said last year the city sent out two letters to the
businesses and requested they choose what
time would be good for the resurfacing of the
road.
"Our business has not been affected at all/'
Baker said.
The city needed to get this done before fall,
she said.
Thomas Jones, manager of Silver RockeJ
Records, said business has been slow, but the;
construction hasn't affected the store's week-,
day business. He said they have been slowej
through the weekend.
Rod Popwell, owner of Behind The Glass
cafe, said the resurfacing had to be done some­time.
The city needed to get this done before
the fall football season, he said.
"The city asked us, out of six dates, which
ones we wanted for them to start the resurfac­ing
of the road," he said.
"August would have been the best time to
do it," he said.
Popwell said business is definitely down
from the construction.

Tiger Club use to spread off-campus
BY MEGAN GAMMONS
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
It's a go!
This fall, students will be able to use their
Tiger Club cards at the off-campus bookstores.
Robert Rittenbaugh, director of auxiliary
enterprises, said, "We don't forsee any prob­lems.
This is definately doable."
"We're getting our ducks in a row and then
we'll be ready for the fall," Rittenbaugh said.
Since the July 10 issue of The Plainsman, many
other businesses have expressed interest in
obtaining the Tiger Club, Rittenbaugh said.
"I've received several calls from other mer­chants
who might want to participate in the
future," Riggenbaugh said.
The broad spectrum of off-campus businesses
include BeachFitter's Sunglass Shop, Behind the
Glass and Arby's.
Behind The Glass owner Rod Popwell said,
"Doing business in downtown Auburn is very
difficult."
Popwell came to Auburn 10 years ago. "There
were six vacancies in the downtown area when
we came here. Then they filled up, now their
closing down again because their services are
offered on campus where students can use their
Tiger Club card."
. "Drake Student Health Center allows stu­dents
to put prescriptions on their card and stu­dents
can make copies on their card at Copy
Gat," he said. "This can't help off-campus busi­nesses
such as Kinko's and Toomer's Drugs."
"The closing of these major businesses might
just be a sign of the times for Auburn," he said.
Popwell has talked with student customers to

get their opinions on the issue.
"They all say they buy most of their things on
campus even though they can't park because it
goes to the household and not from their pock­et,"
Popwell said. "They all were real enthused
about the chance to use their card off campus,"
he said.
Rich Caccivio, owner of BeachFitter's
Sunglass Shop, said, "I stuck my nose out real
quick because I don't want to rum away busi­ness."
He compared the University to an "extension
of mom and dad," because in his opinion, they
were "trying to control students' spending."
"Individuals have the right to choose how to
spend their money," Caccivio said. "If the Tiger
Club card is available to students, they should
be able to use it however they want, even on
sunglasses."
Rittenbaugh said they are currently looking at
options for other city businesses to use the card.

It's almost September. Do you
know where your money is?
While most students are away
for the summer, the University
has been dealing with its financial
troubles and rearranging its prior­ities.
Tuition has been raised, some
programs will be cut and the gov­ernor
plans more cuts in state
higher education funding.
These changes have been estab­lished.
Now how do the students
feel about them?
Tuition Increase
The increase in tuition is a
financial change that has every
student concerned, despite
whether they are concerned with
any other changes.
While most students disagreed
with the increase, some were able
to see its benefits.
Mike Bliss, SGA vice president,
said, "I don't think it's too much
to ask to pay at least the regional
average if not the national average
if that's what it takes to make
Auburn the best school in the
state."
SGA President Jonathan
Crawford was among the stu­dents
concerned with how the
money will be used.
"I was for it on one condition,
that the administration re-evalu­ate
some of their jobs and cuts
they need to make," Crawford
said.
"The money should be used to
retain good professors we're los­ing
now instead of hiring more
GTA's," he said.
For example, the referendum
money for Foy Union is going
toward a top-notch computer lab.

as the promotional ads also will.
WEGL, the campus radio sta­tion,
reported stolen several
pieces of equipment on July 18 to
the Auburn University Police

been recovered.
The equipment, which was val­ued
at $6,949, was production

things as segments and advertise­ments.
A Yamaha mixer, a Symetrix
amplifier, two JBL studio moni­tors,
two Revox reel-to-reel

Toomer's Drug Store
closes pharmacy
doors after 101 years
BY DESIREE RODEN
STAFF WRITER
Part of an Aubum tradition has come to an
end. The pharmacy department of Toomer's
Drug Store closed June 9.
William Beasley, owner of Toomer's Drug
Store, said, "I made the decision to close the
pharmacy department after finding that the
cost of operating the pharmacy did not equal
the amount of pharmaceuticals we sold."
Now that the pharmacy is closed, Beasley
said he is considering turning Toomer's Drugs
into a soda shop and souvenir store.
The store will continue to sell over-the-counter
remedies, Auburn souvenirs and
lemonade, he said.
"I lost a considerable amount of money over
the years keeping the pharmacy department
open. I regretted having to close the depart­ment
because, just like the store, it is a part of
the Auburn tradition," Beasley said.
The customers who used Toomer's Drug
Store as their pharmacy can now go to
Glendean Drugs to get their prescriptions
filled.
Those customers with an active charge
account at Toomer's received a letter stating
the pharmacy department had closed and their
records were turned over to Glendean Drugs.
Charles Darling, owner of Glendean Drug
Store, now has access to the prescription
records of Toomer's Drugs patrons.
"I wanted the availability of a certified, inde­pendent
pharmacist in Auburn to be accessible
to the patrons of Toomer's Drug Store,"
Beasley said.
Students are also concerned about the phar­macy
department closing.
Amy Bacon, senior in elementary, said, "I've
only been in the store a couple of times, but I
think it's a part of Auburn. I think that the
pharmacy department closing will make it
inconvenient to some students."
The building Toomer's Drug Store is located
in was constructed in 1896 and was originally
owned by Benjamin D. Lazarus.
It was bought by Sheldon Toomer in 1906.
In 1952, the building and the rights to the
Toomer name were purchased by McAdory
Lipscomb.
Nimrod Lipscomb, son of McAdory
Lipscomb, said, "Our family still owns the
building, but we sold the rights to the name to
Mark Morgan, a graduate pharmacy student at
Auburn."
After his death, Mark Morgan's family sold
the rights to the Toomer's Drugs name to the
current owner, William Beasley.
"We need the support of Auburn students in
order to remain a part of the Auburn tradi-

tion," Beasley said.
"I am concerned about continuing a 100-
year-old tradition. So, as long as there is breath
in me, I will run Toomer's," he said.

In Arizona's Petrified Forest National Park, visitors take 12 tons of fossilized wood a year.
Incidents increased from 3,570 in 1991 to 4,356 in 1996. The increase could because of the increase in land

better services so stu­dents
can say, "that's
where my money is
going" Crawford said.
Patrick Henry, a sopho­more
in political science,
was also concerned with
how the money will be
used.
"I think if they increase
the tuition, they should
offer a lot more classes,"
Henry said.
Jeff Ferrence, a senior in
fisheries, said, "Even though the tuition keeps going
up, it's still a good deal.
"I came here from Delaware and out-of-state
tuition here is still better than in-state tuition there,"
Ferrence said.
Budget Cut
The Alabama State Legislature's decision to dimin­ish
funding for higher education led to many of these
changes in Auburn's finances.
Students are not just questioning the cuts, but the
reasons for the cuts as well.
Crawford said, "I see the (program) changes as
inevitable now because of the cuts."
"You've got one philosophy that believes (Auburn)
should cut things like education and give it to
(Jacksonville State) and to enhance veterinary and
agriculture programs," Crawford said.
Jason Wilder, a junior in public relations, said, "I
think the budget cut hurt all those involved, except
the politicians.
"People want to better the society and improve the

future for everyone, yet
they don't want to spend
the money it takes to
accomplish it," Wilder
said.
Eric Barron, a
sophomore in agricul­ture,
said, "How can (the
Legislature) say it sup­ports
higher education
and then turn around
and make cuts? That
sounds like a double
standard to me."
Program Cuts
Opinions on program cuts varied from praise to
scorn depending on the student.
Bliss questioned the system used when voting or}
the proposed program cuts.
He said, "The only thing I worry about is that in
these meetings you have the trustees, 30 or 40 admin­istrators
and one faculty member.
"I worry about the faculty being neglected," Bliss
said.
Crawford was more concerned with the University
curriculum as a whole.
"Because of the cuts, it's good that we have to look
at our strong and weak points as far as our programs
go-"
He said, "They're planning on cutting programs
that have a high cost and low graduation rate in that
major."
Barron said, "I hate that it's going to cost more, but
I think it's good that (the University) is putting
money into programs Auburn is known for."

employees," Welty said.
Two unidentified males, who had worked at
WEGL for about a year, had some of the equipment,
he said.
They helped the police locate the other equipment
which was found in a closet in Foy Union near the
station, he said.
The two did not admit to taking the equipment
found in the closet, Welty said.
WEGL did not prosecute the people.
"We've taken this as a wake-up call to look at our
policy," Welty said.
The people no longer work at WEGL, Welty said>
and they have transferred schools.

Auburn
attracts new
businesses
Bv JENNIFER ANTWINE
STAFF WRITER
The Auburn-Opelika area is quickly becom­ing
a hotspot for new businesses.
Both Office Max and Office Depot, two of the
nation's largest office-supply stores, are negoti­ating
to move to the area.
Michael Weisbargh, divisional vice-president
of investor relations for Office Max, confirmed
the company is in negotiations to expand into
the Market Square shopping center on Opelika
Road where Gold's Gym was previously locat­ed.
The new store is part of a plan to open 150
stores in 1997, Weisbargh said.
The store is scheduled to open in November.
A building permit has been issued to Office
Depot to build in the Midway Plaza shopping
center on Pepperell Parkway in Opelika, accord­ing
to the revenue department of Opelika.
An Office Depot representative was unavail­able
for comment.
Office Max and Office Depot join a list of
many new businesses moving to the) Auburn-
Opelika area.
The USA Factory Outlet in Opelika has
announced the opening of two new stores and
are in the process of adding a Phase II outlet
center, which is expected to open in summer
1998 with 15 additional stores.
Michelle Roberts, director of marketing for
the outlet center, said Rack Room Shoes opened
July 29 and Russell Athletic Outlet will open by
the second week of August.
Rack Room Shoes, based in North Carolina,
will carry men's, women's and children's shoes
in popular brands such as Nike, Reebok, 9 West,
Rockport and Timberland, Roberts said.
ROBERT SMITH/Photo Editor
Sunny Foods, located at 186 N. Gay St., is another one of Auburn's new businesses.
It opened on June 30. The station includes a Miami Subs and an ice cream parlor.
Russell Athletic will carry T-shirts and sweat
clothes, and will also be available for specialized
T-shirt printing, Roberts said.
Both stores should have 25 to 50 percent off
regular retail price, Roberts said.
Auburn has received 123 requests for busi­ness
licenses in the past two months, according
to records from the Auburn department of
finance.
Gail Alsobrook, president of Auburn's
Chamber of Commerce, said the recent increase
in business interest is attributed to the prosperi­ty
of existing businesses.
"The growth and the atmosphere in Auburn
is contagious," Alsobrook said.
She said when one franchise does well the
others want to get in on the market.
"Bath and Body Works, Applebee's and Red
Lobster are just a few of the franchises that have
done well," Alsobrook said.
This theory is what Pat Oliff, marketing direc­tor
for Village Mall, said she hopes will happen.
Bath and Body Works, a smaller division of
The Limited, Inc., opened a store July 3 in the
Village Mall.
Oliff said it is often true that if Bath and Body
Works does well, the larger divisions such as
Express and Structure are likely to follow.
- The GAP has already committed to opening a
store in downtown Auburn on College Street in
the former location of Taste of Greece.
Auburn's atmosphere isn't only attracting
large corporations, but small business owners as
well.
Joey Wilkerson, owner of Pass Around Sound,
recently moved his business from Opelika to
downtown Auburn.
"I've always wanted a store in Auburn
because most of my clients are from this area,"
Wilkerson said.
Pass Around Sound opened July 24 on East
Magnolia, in the former location of Big Beat
Records.
Wilkerson said his store is "a convenience
store of music."
The store will carry a variety of music para­phernalia
such as CDs, lighters, lasers, hand
drums and apparel, Wilkerson said.
Company donates new equipment to clinic
BY BOB GRANT
STAFF WRITER
The Auburn University Speech and Hearing
Clinic was the beneficiary of a donation of
diagnostic equipment from Madsen
Electronics, a division of GN Danavox Corp.
The $9,000 piece of equipment, called a
Madsen Celesta Otoacoustic Emissions
Analyzer, will allow speech and hearing tech­nicians
to diagnose hearing problems faster
and with less difficulty, said Sandra
Clark-Lewis, a clinical instructor in the
Department of Communication Disorder.
"The analyzer is the cutting edge of technol­ogy.
We are so pleased to have it," Dr. Michael
Moran, head of the department of communica­tion
disorders, said.
David Smriga, vice president of research and
development for GN Danavox, said the analyz­er
was donated in honor of the 50 years of ser­vice
the speech and hearing clinic has provided
to East Alabama.
"We are extremely happy to make this con­tribution
to Auburn. This is a reflection Of the
strong relationship between GN Danavox and
Auburn University," Smriga said.
Clark-Lewis said a tiny microphone attached
to the analyzer is placed in the ear canal to
measure sound.
"There are hair cells in the ear canal. If a per­son
has normal hearing, then when two differ­ent
tones are presented, the hair cells will pro-

duce a third tone. If there is any damage, there
will be a reduction in the amount of third tone
emissions," Clark-Lewis said.
Moran said the speech and hearing clinic
uses equipment supplied by GN Danavox.
"We have used their equipment for many
years. So this donation is truly appreciated,"
Moran said.
In addition, Clark-Lewis said the speech and
hearing clinic has digital hearing aids available
for patients.
"The digital hearing aids are so much better
than the older models. They cut distortion and
make it easier for patients to hear specific
tones," Clark-Lewis said.
The speech and hearing clinic, located on the
first floor of Haley Center, will celebrate its
50th anniversary in November.
Almost 50 years after its inception, the clinic
tests and treats patients from across the state.
In 1947, Luckie Meagher came to Auburn in
search of someone to treat children with speech
difficulties.
Meagher, who owned a private kindergarten
in Auburn, cared for a little boy with a severe
stutter.
Through the help of professor Frank Davis,
Meagher found Dr. Donald A. Harrington, a
speech pathologist, to test children in Lee
County.
"Luckie was a tremendous woman. The clin­ic
has come a long way since its days as a one-room
office in Samford Hall," Clark-Lewis
said.
Moran said, "We are planning an open house
for alumni, doctors, patients and friends of the
clinic. We are really excited about it and hope
that everyone will be in attendance."

Tax assessor faces criminal charges
: BY JENNIFER UNDSEY
"STAFF WRITER
Lee County Tax Assessor Jane B.
Allen was arrested and charged
with improper use of position on
July 23.
The charges are a result of an
investigation by Attorney General
Bill Pry or's office in Montgomery.
A press release from the attorney
general's office stated Allen "used
her position in an attempt to influ­ence
the votes or political activities
of employees."
Julian McPhillips, Allen's attor­ney,
is challenging both the indict­ment
and the code under which it
occurred.
Under the current code,
McPhillips said asking an employ­ee
to vote for you is considered
using an office for influence. .
It is a "violation of her First
Amendment right to free speech,"
McPhillips said.
McPhillips said this is a "highly
political maneuver by those mak­ing
the complaint."
Joy Patterson, a spokesperson for
the attorney general, said she is
restricted from making any com­ments
other than those in the press
release.
A conviction would result iri a
maximum penalty of two years in
prison and a $10,000 fine.
Alabama's law code states,
"When an office holder is convict­ed
of a felony, the office is vacated
from the time of conviction."
Allen was released on bond, and
her arraignment was held today at
9 a.m.
Allen, who was appointed by
former Gov. Jim Folsom, served
two terms as Lee County Tax
Assessor.
After winning the November
election in 1996, Oline Price will
take over the position in October.

Capt. Lawrence W. Hayner,
right, has recently been
appointed the new comman­der
of the Navy ROTC at
Auburn. Hayner, a 24-year
Naval aviator, is replacing
Capt. Jimmy Ellis, left, who
has been assigned to the Air
War College at Maxwell Air
Force Base in Montgomery.
Hayner's responsibilities
include managing all incom­ing
ROTC candidates to
ensure they get a degree and
become professional Naval or
Marine officers.
"Now I not only work for the
Navy, but I also work for
Auburn University," Hayner
said. "I'm in a teaching mode,
so I teach these young kids to
be officers."
Hayner began his Navy
career after completing
Aviation Officer Candidate
School in Pensacola, Fla., in
February 1975. He spent
three years flying helicopters
in Japan before returning to
Pensacola as a flight instruc­tor.
"For me, attaining this posi­tion
is in many ways akin to
another person making dean
or president of a college,"
Hayner said.

week's edition.
Summer students need entertainment too
It might be one of the greatest under­statements
of all time to say summer
quarter is a slow time in Auburn.
Only about half the number of students
on campus during the regular year are here
during summer. Local establishments expe­rience
a dramatic lull in business. Not to
mention the temperature and humidity soar
to irrational heights.
For those few souls brave enough to face
the harsh climate of the south-eastern
Alabama summer there is one last problem
to face — the utter lack of stuff to do.
During the regular year the Plains are
abuzz with activity. Sports (both intramural
and intercollegiate), theatre, speakers and
regular University Program Council events
ensure it's one's own fault for getting bored.
But what of these things are around for
the summer student to enjoy? Very few.
The University theatre has a lineup of
plays for summer students to take in. Three
plays, in fact, make up their summer dinner
theatre series.
Their are no collegiate sports with sum­mer
seasons, but the intramural office does
offer Softball and volleyball.
But as far as University sponsored events
go, that's about all there is.
During the rest of the school year, the
UPC sponsors regular events — comedians,
hypnotists, cartoon festivals and scads of
other activities. What does the UPC offer
summer students? Movies and aerobics.
Yes, these are probably two of the most
popular UPC activities, but what about the
other stuff?
Granted there aren't as many students in
town during the summer to attend these
events, but does that mean they should be
cut out totally?
The Auburn Plainsman thinks the answer to
that question is "No."
During summer, student activity fees are
still taken from students' tuition money, so it
only makes sense the activities should still
happen.
We don't necessarily believe the activities
need to be as large or as frequent as they are
during the regular year, but a few small
events during the quarter would be a nice
way to break up the monotony of summer
in Auburn.
Events like picnics, cartoon or movie festi­vals
or even just free Coke on the Foy patio
would be relatively inexpensive ways to
give students something to do.
All we want is to feel like we're getting
something for our money.
Acceptance of card could be boon to all
At long last the Tiger Club card is
spreading its wings and taking
off — off campus that is.
While the plan to spread use of the card
was initiated by the two off-campus book­stores,
it appears many local businesses will
soon follow suit and plug into the card sys­tem
as well.
In the near future, students will be able to
walk downtown and purchase any number
of things, from lunch or coffee to clothing.
The Auburn Plainsman encourages busi­nesses
all over the city to consider accepting
the Tiger Club card — it promises benefits
for all involved.
First and foremost, it offers benefits for the
businesses who choose to accept the card.
Many students depend on their card for
food, books and other necessities. Since its
inception, the card has only been accepted
on-campus, basically forcing a large section
of the student body to limit much of their
shopping to on-campus establishments.
Businesses who accept the card should
notice an increase in business as these peo­ple
start moving out, away from campus to
fulfill their needs. This increase in business
should quickly offset the startup costs
involved in obtaining access to the card
readers.
Second, the extended use of the card will
benefit the University. The University will
receive a portion (about 3 percent) of the
cost of every transaction conducted with the
Tiger Club card, a policy similar to those of
major credit card companies.
This will provide a small, but no less
important source of revenue for the
University.
Finally, the students will benefit in a num­ber
of ways.
Students who use the card will no longer
be limited to on-campus establishments, but
will be able to shop around for the best deal
in town.
It will offer many the convenience of not
having to carry cash or write a check for
every purchase.
But one caveat to students — be careful.
While expanded acceptance of the card
promises benefits, it also holds dangers.
Be responsible in your spending. Just
because you have it, doesn't mean you have
to blow it.
Protect your card. As off-campus use
spreads so does the likelihood someone who
ends up with your card will be able to run
up your bill. Treat your card with care as
you would a credit card or even cash.
Along these lines, businesses should also
help protect students. The cards have pic­tures
on them, make sure the face on the
card matches the face in front of you.
Birth brings about re-evaluation, realization
Since the age of 4, Alyssa has
been like a second sister to me,
her mother like a second mom.
Growing up we made the deal
that when we were older, we
would go to the same college,
have a double wedding, live next
door to each other, have barbe­cues
on Sundays in our back yard
surrounded by a white picket
fence and our kids would carry
on our tradition.
Things change when you grow
up, and July 18 helped me realize
that.
On July 18 at 10:25 p.m., Gaven
Nelson Tarr, 7 pounds, 4 ounces,
was brought into this world by
my best friend.
Here I am in Auburn,-still in
college and she's down in
Fairhope, Ala., beginning her
family.
My friends are still here, and
we made a pact that as soon as
we heard Alyssa's water broke,
we would pile in a car and make
the normal three-hour drive a
two-hour drive so we could wit­ness
the gift of Gaven's life.
We received the phone call that
JOY RILLO
she was on her way to the hospi­tal
at 10 a.m. (she had a long
labor).
A friend and I had to complete
our stories for that week's edition
of The Plainsman and then we
would be on our way.
Well, she and my other girl­friends
were on their way but
without me.
I chose studying for Spanish
!03 as my first priority, not the
birth of Gaven.
My decision was wise. I am
caught up with my Spanisn
work, and Gaven is always going
to be there for me to spoil.
I couldn't help but consume
my thoughts with Alyssa's labor.
It made me realize how lucky
we women truly are. Even
though there are a few minor
things we would rather not expe­rience,
the overall gift we have
been given outweighs them all.
The female species is the clos­est
thing to God because we can
give the gift of life.
We get to feel a life grow inside
of us, and then look into the eyes
of that life and see our own
reflection.
Wow, what art experience!
Sure, it wouldn't be possible
without that short time the man
contributes, but we get to feel
that life inside of us for nine
months.
Alyssa warned me of the
painful contractions and the actu­al
labor, but I always say when
something is bad or painful, the
joy that comes from it is tenfold.
The birth of a child is a perfect
example to back my belief.
It may be quite obvious from
what you've read so far that I am
a big fan of children.
But can you understand why?
What could be better than giving
the gift of life? After all, you
wouldn't be reading this if God
hadn't blessed us with this gift.
I can't wait. Actually, I can
wait, I have to wait. I can barely
take care of myself. But I can't
wait until that time of my life is
here so I can experience that feel­ing.
I always tell my boyfriend we
need to hurry up and discuss our
future plans because my clock is
ticking loud and fast. He says I
need to rewind my clock or just
take out the batteries because
that's not going to happen any
time soon.
It's worth the wait. At least I
have my nephew and niece and
now Gaven in my life to fulfill all
my maternal instincts and to
slow my clock down a little bit.
So if you're a woman and have
those times of the month that we
all hate, stop and think about
why we have them and what we
get from them. Think about how
lucky we truly are.

I feel old.
Since starting school here in the
fall of 1992, many businesses have
come and gone.
Eric Kammerud's column last
week reminded me of "The
Flush," and then I started to think
of all the other changes that have
occurred in this town since my
beginnings so many years ago.
The following is just a quick list
of 25 or so businesses or buildings
no longer with us or have been
created since I was here, or
strange events that have hap­pened:
• As mentioned, The Flush was
located on Glenn.
• There was a restaurant/bar at
the same location as Lil' Ireland's,
that was called Darnell's & Co.
• Imaginary Records and
Wildman Steve's were the only
CD stores downtown. Imaginary
Records was located above
Toomer's Drugs.
• There was a night club where
Malibu Bay Beach Club is called
The Locker Room.
• The Tiger Time located on
College Street was Gabby's Diner.
• The Crazy Horse Cafe was
located downtown under the
movie marquee, where Taste of
Greece found its home.
• There was a a pool hall called
Tiger Recreation where Mellow
Mushroom now is.
• There was no Life Sciences
building on campus.
• The Business Building and
Chemistry Building were both

True football fans remain fans through bad years
Editor, The Plainsman:
I will admit I did not grow up as an
Auburn fan. But, I did grow up as a FOOT­BALL
FAN! Before all of these so called
"SEC Football geniuses" who have so
recently shown themselves, bring out the
ropes for Coach Bowden, let's observe the
facts. I arrived on the plains in 1993 and
witnessed a season that will forever be a
part of my life. And yes, I too can recall the
Auburn greats of the past.
If you think, though, this current team or
any up-and-coming ones will not have
their own greats, you are only kidding
yourself. To those names of the past you
will soon add Takeo Spikes, Frank Sanders
and many more to come under Terry
Bowden.
So, what are the facts? Mr. Blau says he
does not want to hear how quickly he for­gets,
and the 1993 team was his famed
Coach Dye's. Was Pat Dye a good football
coach? Wasn't the 1993 team mostly his?
Absolutely. But Mr. Blau seems to have
easily displaced the '91 (5-6) and '92 (5-5-1)
seasons under Pat Dye.
Must we
kill all
the trees?
Editor, The Plainsman:
An open question to the presi­dent,
the administration, the
Board of Trustees and anyone else
who may have inside knowledge:
Why is this University hell-bent
on cutting down every gracious
and large tree on this once-beauti­ful
campus?
Bryan Walton
Graduate student, rural sociology
In '93 Terry Bowden was the one sho
called the plays, and the one who pre­pared
the team in the locker room, NOT
DYE. It was a Terry Bowden team who
went to the "swamp" in '94 and defeated
No. 1 Florida. It was Terry Bowden that
recruited Spikes, Brumbaugh, Houston and
Riley.
Football "expert" Blau and others cannot
believe that Auburn has now "fallen" and
lost recently to LSU, Arkansas and allowed
late scores by Georgia and Alabama.
Wasn't it under Dye in 1992 that AU failed
to score in the last seconds vs. UGA? Or a
Dye team that lost to Southern Mississippi
and twice in a row to Mississippi State?
Now, for you experts out there, who
remembers that when Auburn lost to
Arkansas, the Razorbacks were in their
own Cinderella season and won the SEC
West? Last year, Army won the
Commander-in-Chief trophy in the first
year ever that all three military academies
had winning records. But since you are just
an Auburn "fan," I guess you missed one
of the best games of the year when Army-beat
Navy.
Let's face the truth. Whether you like it
or not, the entire SEC, including LSU,
Vanderbilt and Kentucky, is becoming bet­ter.
The one thing that wins football games
against quality teams is experience. And
experience was the one major quality that
Auburn lacked last season. You "great foot­ball"
minds that know everything should
look at what an incredible job the '96 team
did with only three or four seniors. I too
was at every one of those last second,
heart-wrenching games.
I know Mr. Blau is only an management
information systems major, but I am sure
he took a math class somewhere in his life.
The reason Auburn had no depth or expe­rience
last year was because of the lost
scholarships from 1992-93 that would have
brought productive juniors and seniors in
1996. A direct product from, and a big
thanks to, your beloved Coach Dye.
Mr. Blau said he was apprehensive and
disagreed with Coach Bowden's hiring, as
do many others. Well, that is too bad,
because I was having a great time at
Toomer's Corner after all those wins when
you were at home wishing we had a
"proven" division coach like Danny Ford
or Bill Curry. He also states that, "to me it
looks like poor coaching." Well I've got
news for you and your football friends.
There is a distinct reason Coach Bowden is
on the field. Isn't it interesting, Mr. Blau,
that hindsight is always 20/20? Give us a
break!
This may sound as though I am making
excuses for the team and the coaching staff.
I am not; I am only pointing out the facts
the "great minds" always seem to miss. Is
improvement needed? I think strongly so.
Is this the year of put-up-or-shut-up?
More than likely. In either case, I have now
become a true AUBURN FAN. And for all
you "great minds" of football, I will tell
you what this means. I will cheer for the
orange and blue always, win or lose. I will
accompany the wave of a winning season,
and if the team loses, I will go down with
the ship. That is the meaning of a TRUE
FAN, so quit your whining!

Alabama gets F in valuing education
Editor, The Plainsman:
Dear Jeremy:
I am delighted that you
responded to my letter published
in the June 26 Plainsman. It is grati­fying
to know that someone read it
and has the initiative and wit to
respond.
The letter is aimed not so much
at students as at the all-pervasive
attitude in this state that education
is not really worth much. The
thrust of my letter is contained in
the comment you said you failed
to understand — the comment
about Auburn's giving charity
education to people who are not
poor and don't respect us for
doing it.
If the people of Alabama
respected education, would they
have elected 35 years of governors
who have in their various ways
beaten us down to No. 50 in edu­cation?
If they respected educa­tion,
would they so adamantly
oppose any tax increase in a state
with one of the lowest tax rates? If
they respected education, would
they devote most of their time,
money, and enthusiasm to football
instead of to the shaping of young
minds? If they respected educa­tion,
would they not impeach Fob
James along with the Board of
Trustees, who recently dropped us
the measly little 9 percent crumb
of a tuition increate? If they
respected education, would they
spend 10 times as much on their
children's mega-hog trucks as on
their college tuition? The values-message
this sends the student is
that driving big expensive vehicles
is 10 times more important than a
year developing and expanding
the mind.
Jeremy, if you were at the bot­tom
of a class of 50 in your major,
apparel merchandising, and knew
that you had a flat "F," would you
solve that problem by more sports,
a bigger truck and an adviser who
wasted your time talking about
starting a war over the Ten
Commandments; or would you
read more, study more, pay for a
private tutor, talk with you teach­ers,
buy more study aids, etc.? Of
course, you would focus yourself
and your resources on fixing the
situation.
Alabama has a big red "F" on its
report card, but it doesn't seem to
care. It talks a lot, but does less
and less. It wants the cheapest
education possible, and then eases
its guilt by fielding big, expensive
football teams. It uses the myth of
the starving student to justify
poverty-level tuitions, and loves
governors who verbally and finan­cially
abuse the very institutions
that are trying to move the state
forward.
(Scholarships for the truly needy
are, of course, essential, and these
can best be provided by a higher
tuition from those who can pay.)
Alabama supports big football,
big trucks, lavish lifestyles, but
cheap education for a population
which does not read, does not dis­cuss
subjects of lasting value and
is floundering at the lower fringes
of civilization.
The longer this situation drags
on, the more impossible it will be
to pull ourselves out of the muck.
Already those Alabamians who
travel in other states and countries
are being met by a mixture of pity,
disgust or just silence. This hurts
me, because I have poured my life
into trying to help us stand taller.
I come from a long-extinct breed
of professors who believe it our
duty to speak the jolting truth to
students and everyone else, even if
it makes us unpopular and unre-spected,
because then and only then
can they empower themselves to turn
their "F"s into "A"s.
Thanks again, Jeremy. I didn't
insult you. I sent a wake-up call.
I'm glad I got your attention. If
you'll stay good and mad, maybe
you can help turn Alabama's "F"
into an "A".
Sincerely,
Nicholas D. Davis
Editor, The Plainsman:
For two weeks now we have
seen letters to the editor from
folks complaining about how
the campus is being treated (i.e.
leave the trees at the KA house
there). I hope someone out
there is paying attention to
these letters, because three let­ters
from this normally apathet­ic
campus equals a ground
swell of support in my humble
opinion. So, in order to keep
things rolling here, let's talk
about two seemingly unrelated
things — the library and land­scaping.
Landscaping — Seriously,
what is up with the tree cutting
on campus? Now, before you
start with the tree-hugging
stereotype, let's think this
through rationally. It is a hot
summer day, but you can
always enjoy the cozy, cool little
nook between Parker Hall and
the Thach Hut. Nope, the nice
shaded area to which I once
took a class so they could
explore biodiversity on campus
is now gone. Subject to a bull­dozer
and what I presume is
soon to be pavement.
So now, as the sun beats
down, instead of having trees
to shade us and the ground
from the sun, we have pave­ment
to absorb the heat and
make the campus hotter than it
already is. And with the trees
went the crablike spiny orb
weavers, the song bird habitat,
the squirrel roosts, and all the
other denizens of the secluded
nook. And with the fragment of
exposed creek/sewer went the
few crayfish and cranefly larvae
my class caught.
You may think I'm going a
little far trying to romanticize
this area, but it, as well as other
areas like it, have gone the way
of the pine mulch deserts and
centipede grass monocultures.
This type of reconstructive,
high maintenance landscaping
is expensive and unnecessary.
Our money would be better
spent on planting long-lived
trees and shrubbery than cut­ting
them down and replacing
them with pine mulch that
washes away in Auburn's
heavy winter rains and summer
downpours.
Library — As a graduate stu­dent,
the library is my home
away from home. I love the
library and all the folks who
work there (especially on casual
Fridays, when they really cut
loose). However, there is a seri­ous
funding problem at the
library and many journals have
been dropped.
I could name a baker's dozen
in my area alone, and I know
the problem is much more
widespread. If the University
really wants to keep a competi­tive
graduate student program
as well as research program,
then we need to see an about-face
in this area.
So what do landscaping and
the library have in common?
Nothing. They are opposites.
One is apparently overfunded
and the other desperately
underfunded. The University
administration seems to be
under the mistaken impression
that the skin-deep beauty of
golf course lawns and weedless
pine mulch beds will make up
for the decaying infrastructure
of the University.
Only by reinvesting in pro­grams
like the library that have
been handicapped by under-funding
will the University be
able to sustain any sense of
long-term beauty. In the mean
time, I am willing to make the
sacrifice of having weedy lawns
and flower beds.

Research center conducts Gulf War Syndrome tests on dogs
BY L I Z MOORE
STAFF WRITER
Wpen most people hear the term
"Gulf War Syndrome," an image of
psychological and physical dam­age
comes to mind. In this image,
the victims are usually veterans.
Until recently, not many people
•associated this syndrome with
dogs.
The University's Scott-Richey
Research Center is conducting neu­rological
tests on dogs that served
in the Persian Gulf War.
These tests will be used to deter­mine
whether the dogs received
chemical damage to their muscles
and nerves while in the Middle
East.
"We are looking at tissue samples
from dogs that served in the
Persian Gulf Theater, and some
from dogs of similar age that were
not present in the conflict," said Dr.
Kyle Braund, the neuropathologist
conducting the tests.
"We have to rule out damage
that may have occurred naturally
before we can find out if there were
any environmental effects on the
dogs that were sent there," Braund
said.
The dogs being tested are now 12
to 15 years old, and damage from
age cannot be differentiated from
that of nerve gas, Braund said.
However, if the nerve damage
exceeds the normal aging process,
this could be a result of peripheral
nerve disease. The Gulf War dogs
were exposed to this disease.
Results of the tests will help sci­entists
understand damage to the
health of Gulf War soldiers as well.
"These dogs had to breathe the
same air and eat the same food as
the soldiers," Braund said.
"It will be interesting to see if
they have similar health prob­lems,"
Braund said.
The results of the tests on Gulf
War dogs will be compared to
those on Gulf War veterans.
Intestinal problems, neurological
diseases and psychophysical condi­tions
are among the problems
being considered in these experi­ments.
"This study is a good example of
the relevance between diseases of
dog and man," Baker said.
"The toxins they were exposed to
were exactly the same, and these
results can provide valuable infor­mation
about the disease process,"
he said.
These experiments are a blind
study, Sam Hendrix, Braund's lab
associate, said.
"Of the samples sent to us, only
some are from dogs that went to
the Gulf and Saudi. The rest are
from dogs that have been here the
whole time," Hendrix said.
The samples are numbered, but
there is no way of knowing which
are from dogs that went to the Gulf
War, Hendrix said.
Lackland Air Force Base in San
Antonio, Texas, commissioned
Braund to do the study.
"There is only one person at the
Air Force base who knows the
identification of the dogs and
which ones were present in the
Middle East," Braund said.
Lackland Air Force Base sup­plied
U.S. personnel with 118 mili­tary-
trained German shepherds.
Samples from 40 of the 118 dogs
have been tested so far, and as
many as 250 samples will have
been tested by the end of this study.
The results will not be revealed
until the end of the study, which
will be in another year and a half.
Dr. Henry Baker, director of the
Scott-Richey Center, said, "We get
results (from the tests) all the time,
but the samples aren't identified."
"This .s to make sure that there is
no intentional or unintentional bias
toward the different test subjects,"
Baker said.
The blind study method also
allows the Air Force base to know
the results before anyone else,
Braund said.

Activities plentiful at Plantation South
Thursday, July 31,1997
BY STEPHANIE PIERCE
STAFF WRITER
Bingo, storytelling, movies and water
aerobics are only a few of the fun activities
offered to residents of Plantation South.
Plantation South is an assisted-living
retirement residence located at 1553
Professional Parkway in Auburn. The
facility has 40 rooms with private bath­rooms.
"It addresses the specific needs of a per­centage
of the elderly population which is
not capable of living alone," Mary
Dunlop, marketing director of Plantation
South, said.
Dunlop said the facility has been open
since spring 1996 but has been fully
licensed since August '96. Plantation
South is staffed by care assistants and
nurses.
"Care assistants do primary work,
, which involves housekeeping and resi­dent
care, and the nurses are in charge of
the residents' medicine," Dunlop said.
Marion Malmstrom, a resident of
Plantation South, said, "I really like it
here. The people are so nice to me, and
they take good care of us."
Dunlop said the age range of the resi­dents
is between 60 and 90.
"The're are different activities for all of
the residents to participate in. But if they
are not physically able to participate, we
like to take them to watch the activities,"
she said.
Recently, some members of the staff
took a group of residents to see the movie
Out to Sea.
"They really enjoyed watching the
movie, and we enjoyed watching them
have a good time," Dunlop said.
An actor from the Shakespeare Festival
visited Plantation South and told stories
while dressed in costume, she said.
"The residents really had fun listening
to his stories," she said.
Dunlop said Keller Johnson, Helen
Keller's niece, came and gave a slide pre­sentation
on her aunt, and another presen­tation
was given on the involvement of
Alabama in World War II.
"These presentations are really enjoyed
by the residents. They think they are a lot
of fun, and they are very educational,"
Dunlop said.
Body Recall, an exercise program, is
taught three days a week.
"This is a state-of-the-art program
which helps seniors strengthen muscles,
helps circulation and improves mobility,"
Dunlop said.
"It helps residents to keep what they
have and improve what they can so they
can live a better quality of life and a more
enjoyable one, too," she said.
Another in-house activity is beauty
shop day.
"This is offered every Thursday to the
residents. I can't plan any other activities
because they all get so excited about get­ting
their hair done," Dunlop said.
Nancy Fuller, hair stylist for residents of
Plantation South, said, "I enjoy fixing their
hair. They get so excited about it, and it
makes them really happy."
Walking is an outside activity some res­idents
participate in.
"One of our residents walks a mile to a
mile-and-a-half a day, and he is in his
90s," Dunlop said. "They enjoy being out­side
and getting fresh air."
"The only thing we ask of our residents
is that they check out before leaving the
facility. This just lets us know where they
are," she said.
Some of the staff members of Plantation
South recently took a group to Auburn's
aquatic center to participate in water aero­bics.
ROBERT SMITH/Photo Editor
Instructor Karen Eason works with Frank Owsely and Namie Core at the
aquatics center. Water aerobics is just one of the activities at Plantation South.
Dunlop said they are looking into water
aerobics as part of the residents' exercise
program, but they will have to get more
residents to sign up for it.
Plantation South is now constructing
independent living apartments as part of
its facility. The residents will live indepen­dently,
but the facility's staff will be avail­able
to help when needed.
"Our goal is to make all of our residents
happy. This is now their home, and we
want to make them feel at home in any
way possible," Dunlop said.

New Location!
Same Great
Service!
The staff at Glynn Smith Motor Company proudly
announce the opening of their new location at 3906
Pepperell Parkway in Opelika. For the past decade, Glynn
Smith Motor Company operated at 101 North 11th Street
in downtown Opelika.
According to company owners Ronnie Ware, Roger
McCreless, and Don Gentry, the new location was chosen
for its convenience for both Auburn and Opelika residents.
When asked about any changes in the overall operation
Gentry replied, "We intend to do business here just like
we did at the old location. By this I mean our customers
will not have to run back and forth between three or four
people to get answers to their questions, find their trade-in
value, or even get the price they are interested in. Here
you deal with one person throughout the entire process.
We also try to make the experience pleasant before, during,
and after the sale. We don't use high pressure tactics or
sale gimmicks. We offer an excellent product at a fair
price.
At Glynn Smith Motor Company, we carry a wide selection
of 1-5 year old vehicles, most of which still have factory
warranty. The cars are hand picked by Ware and Gentry.
Ware says "if it's not a car we would be proud to own and
drive ourselves we don't buy it. We pride ourselves in
service during and more importantly after the sale and
because we value our customers and want long term
relationships, we have to sell good cars at a good price.
We have families that have bought 10 to 15 cars from us
over the years. For the convenience of our customers,
financing is available thru GMAC and several local banks
and credit unions."
The staff at Glynn Smith Motor Company brings a wide
array of talent to the company. Our office manager and
title clerk, Jodi Worley, has spent her entire adult life in
the banking and automobile business. "I have always
enjoyed this type work. We get to meet so many people
day in and day out and many of these become close
friends," says Worley.
We have one full-time and one part-time salesperson.
Roy Pritchett, our full-time salesperson, comes to us with
some 29 years in the automobile business. Roy, an Auburn
resident, agrees with the same philosophy as the ownership
concerning low pressure, no gimmick sales tactics. "When
I sell a customer a vehicle, not only have I made a friend,
but also a customer for life. When you are honest and up
front with people, they will come back and send their
family and friends. Here at Glenn Smith Motor Company
they believe in the same approach. We are one happy
family here and I'm proud to be a part of the team," says
Pritchett.
According to Gentry, "Glynn Smith Motor Company has
had a very successful working relationship with Ulus
Cumberlander from Valley, AL. Ulus is a full- time
educator working with teenagers with special needs. He
has worked with us for 6 years in a part-time capacity.
His patience and insight has helped our company
tremendously in dealing with the day to day problems
that arise in the retail business."
Our cleanup department is manned by Doug Day. "Doug
has been with this organization since day one." According
to Ware, "He is very skilled in his trade with 25 years
experience and his outgoing personality has at times
proved to be an asset as far as our sales department goes."
The ownership of Glynn Smith Motor Company has deep
roots with the Auburn University family. Both Gentry
and McCreless are Auburn alumni and Gentry's wife,
Marjorie, has been employed at Auburn University for
some 19 years the past 13 with the School of Forestry.
Both Gentry and McCreless moved to Auburn in the early
70's as students and have made their home in Lee county
since. Ware grew up in the area and attended Opelika
High and Southern Union. He is very active in community
service, serving on the Board of Directors for the Boys
and Girls Club of Greater Lee County, The Achievement
Center, Easter Seal Board of Directors, The Opelika
Industrial Development Board, and past Board of Directors
for the Opelika Chamber of Commerce.
The staff at Glynn Smith Motor Company invites everyone
to stop by and take a look at our new facility. As we like
to say, "Come by and see what a difference Glynn Smith
Motor Company makes."

Local bands exhibit variety at local cafe
Amsterdam Cafe was hit with
an assault of rock and funk last
Saturday night when
Hematavore and Subterrific
Chug-a-lug played for almost
three hours for a packed house.
The Whitey Herzogs were also
scheduled to play on Saturday.
But because The Whitey Herzogs
and Subterrific have basically the
same members, it was hard to
distinguish between the two, if
The Whitey Herzogs played at
all.
Hematavore opened the
evening shortly before 11 p.m.
As the four-man band played
its experimental rock, the size of
the crowd kept growing.
Hematavore plays with a style
that is hard to describe. Its fully
instrumental songs border on
punk, thrash, funk, jazz and
heavy metal.
The band consists of two gui­tars,
a bass and drums. Though
at one point in the song "Who's
Afraid?" there were two drum­mers
playing.
"Who's Afraid?" goes back and
forth between a hard, distortion-filled
groove and a jazz rhythm.
It was surprising that more peo­ple
weren't moving during the
song.
Throughout the set
Hematavore played a variety of
hard music that wasn't exactly
fast, but was filled with distor­tion
that gave it a raw edge.
The fourth song of the set,
"Killing vs. Eating," alternate
between a distortion groove and
a more acoustic-sounding guitar
riff. '
Throughout Hematavore's
eight-song set, the band proved
its talents and impressed the
crowd.
After Hematavore was
through, the audience was greet­ed
with a flurry of funk from
Subterrific Chug-a-lug.
Though the band has an album
out, they spent most of Saturday
night playing covers.
The band opened with a jazz
introduction which broke out into
"Let's Go Crazy" by Prince.
The 12-man band, wearing a
variety of costumes, appeared to
be enjoying the atmosphere of the
small, packed cafe as they rocked
through 17 songs.
(It's good to see not everyone
went to The Supper Club to see
the monotonous Velcro Pygmies).
The third song, the original "So
Much Milk," was briefly inter­rupted
by George Clinton's "Up
for the Down Stroke."
The band then had a slight
interlude of Van Halen with their
own funked-up versions of
"Panama" and "Hot for Teacher."
Though I am not in any way a
big fan of cover bands, Subterrific
Chug-a-lug played a number of
originals mixed in to give the
crowd a hint of the band's talent
and diverse influences.
One of the better covers the
band played was Fishbone's
"Housework."
The band, consisting of a trum­pet
player, two drummers, two
percussionists, two singers, a
bass player, a keyboard player,
two guitar players and a saxo­phone
player, alternated between
instruments and singing through­out
the night.
The band even found time at
the end of the night to make fun

last Saturday.
of Oasis' "Champagne
Supernova" and Journey's
"Faithfully."
All in all the night was filled
with a variety of music and tal­ent,
the likes of which is not seen
in Auburn too often.

Behind the Glass showcases local talent
Local gardener displays
nine watercolors, 13 oil
paintings in local restaurant
BY BRANNON STEWART
ASSISTANT INTRIGUE EDITOR
Hanging on the walls of Behind The
Glass is the artistic talent of an Auburn
employee.
Daniel Neil is a gardener and
groundskeeper for the University's facili­ties
division.
But when he's not working in the
University's gardens, he cultivates his tal­ent
for art.
Neil has an exhibit of nine watercolor
paintings and 13 oil paintings currently on
display in the cafe.
Neil grew up in Birmingham, Ala., where
he was a residential gardener. He has lived
in Auburn off and on for 10 years and has
been working for the University for three
years.
"I have been a gardener my whole life,"
Neil said. "I have a passion for gardening
and I enjoy flowers and being outdoors."
It is this passion for nature that inspires
Neil's artistic talents.
"The theme of the exhibit is nature and
gardening. This is what I see all the time.
You get to see a lot of nice things when you
are outside all day," he said.
Most of all, Neil hopes people get a good
feeling from looking at his art.
"My intention is to bring enhancement of
life into my art," he said.
Neil has painted for many years, but this
exhibit consists of works he has done in the
last year.
"The paintings in the exhibit were chosen
from a big pile of works I have," he said.
"I try to do a lot of painting when I come
home at night," he said.
N^il said he is just starting to combine
what he knows about gardening and art.
"When people pass by some flowers,
they will enjoy them and not know you had
anything to do with it. And when people
pass art, they may stop and ponder it
briefly and enjoy the art for what it is," Neil
said.
He said the exhibit at Behind The Glass is
his first solo exhibit, but he has had some
Upcoming powwow
to educate, entertain

Daniel Neil, who has worked for the University for the past three years,
has his first solo exhibition display in Behind the Glass.
other works exhibited in different places.
"I have had a couple of little things
shown in some private galleries in
Birmingham. These were mostly nick-nacky
pieces like woodcuts and folk art
pieces,"Neil said.
"I was part of a student exhibit this past
spring after taking a steel culture class," he
said.
Neil had a sculpture in the student exhib­it.
He turned steel into objects like vines
and grass in the wind.
"I was trying to take steel and be more
organic with it," he said.
Neil comes from a family of artists.
"My great-grandmother was a painter,
along with my aunt and great aunt who
painted traditional landscapes," he said.
Neil's art will be on exhibit at Behind The
Glass until Aug. 15.
If you have nothing to do this week­end
and you've heard of a place called
Clayton, Ala., you may be in for a treat.
The third annual Native American
Inter-Tribal powwow will be held this
weekend, Aug. 1-3, at the Barbour
County Farm Center in Clayton, locat­ed
just east of Eufala.
Michael Warr, director of the pow­wow,
said, "Just by being a spectator,
you learn a lot."
All of the proceeds go toward
next year's powwow and
the Native American
College Fund of North
America.
Starting on Friday
night, there will be a
dance regalia.
"People will be
dressed in the dance
regalia costume, and
they can teach other
tribal dances," Warr
said.
Chauncey Wood, the
Farm Center manager,
said, "The first 50 dancers,
who will have to be of
Indian descent, will
dance in the regalia to
win the three-day event."
On Saturday, there will be a pot luck
dinner.
Warr said, "This is the time when
you get to meet other people."
Also, Saturday is considered family
day. The kids can play games and lis­ten
to Indian stories.
Sunday's events will be similar to
Friday's and Saturday's.
Some of the events are traditional for
Indians.
The dance regalia is called the
'Circle of Life.' The dancers will be
performing Indian tribal dancing the
Indians have been doing for centuries.
"In the dance regalia, the circle is the
church where we honor things, like the
veterans," Warr said.
Participants are also encouraged to
bring drums and play along.
Some of the participants who have
done this before have Indian names
such as Red Wolf, Walks Tall, Falling
Leaf and Soaring Eagle. Michael
Warr's Indian name is Thunder Bear.
The food available will be a variety
of venison, stews and soups made
with wild game, herbal foods, teas and
acorn bread.
"We also make this thing called fry
bread that has pumpkin in it. We will
have concession stands if you want
something else," Warr said.
There will also be medici­nal
herbs for sale that the
Indians of the past
used. For instance,
blackberry root was
used for an upset
stomach.
The Native
American artwork
will consist of paint­ings,
featherwork,
beadwork, wood­work
and bone and
hide creations.
There will also be a.
lodge contest, Warr said,
"which is nothing but.a
CHAD BARWICK/Art Editor teepee contest."
For the sightseers, there
will be exhibits and cultural
exchanges.
In addition, attendants can camp out
on the grounds. There are plenty of
facilities to accommodate campers
near the Babour County Farm Center.
"We have plenty of security. The
gate will be locked, but if you want to
leave, it will be opened to let anyone
out," Warr said.
There will be a charge when you use
the electricity hook-up for the
campers.
"Everyone is invited to come, and
we plan to have a good time," Warr
said.
The general admission for adults is
$3 and $1 for children 6-12. Children
under 6 will be admitted free.

Columnist recalls music's roots
THINH NGUYEN/Photo Staff
Peter Mulvey performed as part of the Sundilla Acoustic Concert Series last Friday night.
Guitarist entertains with own style
"I smoke. I eat meat. I'm that kind of folk singer."
This is how award-winning guitarist Peter Mulvey
began his show before treating the audience to his
own brand of acoustic folk music Friday night, July
25.
Mulvey played at the Auburn Unitarian
Universalist Fellowship. The event was sponsored by
the Sundilla Acoustic Concert Series, and a crowd of
50 turned out for the event
Mulvey describes his music as a combination of
various musicians he admires, such as Los Lobos,
Greg Brown and Chris Smither.
Mulvey's music ranged from the traditional mellow
folk sound to the foot-fapping, grooving funk which
growled forth from his guitar.
Mulvey played with emotion, frequently closing his
eyes and tapping his feet to the beat, allowing the
crowd to see his love for the music he sang.
The audience appreciated his effort, as many of
them seemed to get into the music and pick up one or
more of Mulvey's five CDs on sale at the show.
Besides the traditional types of songs, Mulvey also
displayed his talents by playing an instrumental piece,
"Black Rabbit," which brought the loudest applause
from the crowd. His use of both hands in such an
extraordinary manner during the song showcased
Mulvey's finely-tuned skills on guitar.
With the use of several tunings, Mulvey was able to
create many unique sounds which seemed to amplify
his guitar at times.
Between songs, Mulvey joked about everything
from his smoking habit to astronauts on the Russian
space station.
He also covered songs from artists such as Elvis
Costello, Chris Smither and Greg Brown. Mulvey
even sang his version of "Playboy Mansion" by U2.
Mulvey, a Wisconsin native, traveled to Ireland as
an exchange student and became a busker, a street
musician, earlier in his career.
"I ended up skipping my classes and playing guitar.
It was the most informative thing in my life," Mulvey
said.
Later, he traveled to Boston where he improved his
skills as a subway performer for two years. Mulvey
has recently released his second album for Eastern
Front Records called deep blue.
"The main difference on this album is its producer,
Nicholas Sansano. He has produced artists such as
Public Enemy, Sonic Youth and Janet Jackson. He defi­nitely
added a lot to the album. He is the man,"
Mulvey said.
"I do about 160 to 180 shows a year. I play as far
west as Anchorage and as far east as Dublin," Mulvey
said.
His aspirations are to continue what he is doing on
a bigger scale.
"I don't want to be a star or a superstar. I just want
to be an underground legend," Mulvey said.
The Sundilla Acoustic Concert Series is a local non­profit
community concert series which brings acousti­cally-
based concerts to Auburn.
"We started about a year and a half ago. We have
about two performers per month. They are usually a
mix of jazz, blues and country. The artists are all origi­nal
singer/songwriter performers," Katie Smith, an
organizer for the series, said.
Like all shows, the crowd was invited to bring their
own drinks and brown-bag snacks to the show.
Acts scheduled to be sponsored by the Sundilla
Acoustic Concert Series include Sherpas, three
singer/songwriters performing on Aug. 8, and Steve
Young on Aug. 16.
"This is a great thing (Sundilla) is doing, I wish
there were more places like this in Alabama," Mulvey
said.
REVIEW BY JAMIE SAVOIE
STAFF WRITER
Every so often I am reminded
how much fun life can be.
Usually this comes in the form of
a phone call at two in the morning
from an old friend who's been
drinking Bushmill's and gingerale,
watching old SNL reruns with a lot
of time on his hands.
You know the routine. "Hey,
Pablo, Nicholas Cage is on doing
Little Tiny Elvis. Do you remember
that, man?" And then we both get
into the skit doing our best Cage
impression of the King laughing
out of control, milk spewing out of
our noses and our sides hurting
from the buffoonery of it all. Don't
you just love those moments?
Well, this past weekend, I was
favored to one of these not so rare
occasions during an unplanned trip
to South Carolina. Having recently
completed my doctorate, I have
been quite busy this summer pro­crastinating
and waging a losing
battle against ennui.
So the phone call on Friday from
my older brother Dave enlisting
my services for the weekend to
help my younger brother Rob with
his move was a bit of a surprise,
yet somehow not wholly unexpect­ed.
You would think a little lead
time would be in order here, i.e.,
"We're planning a move next
month, think you could lend a
hand?"
But in my family's case, substi­tuting
the words "next month" for
"tomorrow morning at eight" typi­cally
yields similar results. But I
digress. I'm writing this column
not to chronicle the myriad short­comings
of my childhood socializa­tion.
Rather, there's something
much more here than that —
Music!
Driving from Atlanta to North
Augusta, S. C, on a hot and hazy
morning, all four windows down, a
head foggy from the night before,
sweat beads running down the
back and under the thighs making
this impregnable bond between
driver and the seat, pounding copi­ous
quantities of Gatorade and
Goody's powders, and knowing
that what's in store at the end of
the trip is an arduous move, should
be enough to drive anyone into
mild depression.
Alas, this was not to be.
PAUL HARRIS
As we took to the perimeter,
Dave pops in a cassette he crafted
as a college DJ some 13 years ago
and we feasted on a repast of early
80's "Athensesque" bands — many
who never got past the demo and
vinyl stage such as Guadacanal
Diary, Pylon, Government Cheese,
Gigi's Playhouse, The Beggar
Weeds — and many we are all
quite familiar with these days such
as The Flat Duo Jets, Love Tractor,
The Squalls, The Feelies and Dream
So Real — just to name a few.
Now this is some fun music!
Intelligent beats, raw, single-gui­tar
tinged sound and seemingly
incomprehensible lyres (I challenge
anyone to tell me what the heck
Michael Stipe is saying in REM's
first three releases).
Anyway, hearing these old tunes
brought back a flood of memories
as a college undergrad living in
Athens in the early '80s.
As a love child of the '60s, I was
bom into a musical world dominat­ed
by the synthesizer, imitation
falsetto, geeks wearing make-up,
the droning guitar riff and the
ubiquitous rock opera, ad nause-um.
So, you can imagine what a
change took place in the musical
world when college bands such as
REM and The B-52's made their
debut on the Athens night club
scene. Talk about musical
epiphany!
I liken this to the switch from
Norman Vincent Peale's commie-hating,
Pollyanna writings of the
'50s to Hunter S. Thompson's cos­mos
of fear and loathing in the '60s.
As superficial as this might sound,
my life changed with this new
sound and it has never quite been
the same since.
Not trying to sound too trite and
overdone, I found a connection to
the larger world in which I lived
and really began to enjoy life. This
was the one artistic expression I
could grasp and appreciate at this
young age. And, 15 years later, I'm
still enamored with this sound.
As we continued on our sojourn,
we rummaged through the glove
compartment, under the seats and
on the dash for more of the same.
We struck gold. Dave managed
to retrieve some vintage compila­tions
he had made of The Pixies,
Husker Du and The Dead
Milkmen.
Suddenly, we forgot about how
darned hot it was outside and
instead shuttled ourselves into this
distant world of careless youth
(although, I might add, we are now
careless adults) revelry and reckless
abandon. Pretty cool, eh?
Before we knew it, we arrived in
North Augusta, and, although still
dreading the move at hand,
cranked the tunes a little louder
and got on with the task at hand.
To be fair, I really like the college
sound of today. Although, there's
the trend toward the top 40 alterna­tive,
there are still "plenty-o-good"
bands out there such as Five-Eight,
The Vigilantes of Love (and,
although I missed them, Room Full
of Circles) and so many others who
continue to ply their trade and in
the process, make kids of all ages
happy with their uncompromising
sound. -,
As I conclude, please allow me to
give you the Paul and Dave Harris.
consensus top five songs which
have helped to mold the college
alternative scene, made the world
we live in a better place (EMBELL­ISHMENT)
and will continue to be
played wherever not so normal
folks gather for fun.

BMI Records
I should have learned by this point that just
because a band has a funny name or a clever album
title, they aren't necessarily good.
Through 12 songs Igmo plays catchy pop/rock
that isn't too bad, but their singer needs to stop
whining his vocals and start singing them.
I can't tell you much about the background of the
band other than they are from Atlanta.
Although the album shows some potential, it just
isn't enough.
Weak vocals hinder the quality of the band's
music.
The first track is "Figure It Out," and that is just
what the band needs to do with their music.

THE CALL
Ok. B^lofOk. Call
Warner Resound Records
The first thing I thought of after listening to this
CD was how much it sounded like a cheesy movie
soundtrack.
This CD starts out with a song called "Let The Day
Begin/'which is some strange tribute to everybody in
the world.
Later in the CD the lead singer, Michael Been,
breaks into a song that sounds like a bad imitation of
Guns 'til Roses.
Finally, as I gratefully listen to the last track, Been
bellows out a ballad that sounds like something
Dennis DeYoung would sing.
The name of the CD, The Best of The Call, gives you
the impression that this is a collection of the bands
strongest songs, and that they are good band with a
large following.
Overall, The Call sounds like a band who has not
discovered the type of music they were meant for.

Students get online experience
BY MELISSA PARKER
ASSOCIATE COPY EDITOR
As the University becomes
more "wired," students face new
problems and teaching styles.
In 1975, Auburn professors did­n't
even always have phones
available. Paul Starr, professor of
sociology, said, "When I came
here in 1975, we had pne tele­phone
for 16 faculty members."
English professors had phone
boxes that had to be unlocked
before they could make calls, he
added.
Auburn will be even more
wired by fall quarter when the
ne^ Foy Union computer lab is
opened and all the dorms are
wired with computer-lab quality
connections.
Since computers are in such
high demand, and the labs tend to
"get a little busy," the University
plans to open a 40-computer lab in
Foy Union by fall quarter 1997,
Barbara Royster, manager of client
services for DUC, said. The Foy
lab will be "by far our biggest,"
Miller said.
Royster also said the University
will be wiring all the dorms dur­ing
the summer. When students
move in fall quarter, she said, they
can pay $50 for an Internet card.
They can either install it for
themselves or pay the University
another $35 to install it. After that,
students will be charged $19 a
month for unlimited Internet
access.
Royster said the $19 charge is
about the same amount any
Internet provider would charge.
The campus shifting from
locked-up phones to the "most
wired university in the South" has
changed more than just how peo­ple
here communicate; it has
changed teaching styles and stu­dent
life.
The most concrete changes have
been in teaching methods.
Students are now more frequently
expected to download class notes
or homework assignments from
the Internet.
Miller said, "Some professors
use (their Web page) for pretty
regular things. Others are taking
some pretty boring things and
making them more interesting."
He noted a professor in build­ing
science who puts diagrams of
soil compaction on the Internet.
For example, in Robert Dunn's
accounting classes, __________
students must get
the syllabus from
Dunn's home page
— he never hands
it out in class. Nor
does he give
homework assign­ments
in class.
Assignments are
posted on the
homework section
of the Web page. He encourages
students to e-mail their home­work
in to force them how to use
the Internet.
Students agree it is difficult to
learn.
"The hardest thing is no one
teaches you how to do it," Gretta
Garrett, a student in Dunn's
accounting 215 class, said.
But her problem has not gone
unnoticed by University officials.
Michael Miller, who works with
DUC, said a computer class
should be added to the core cur­riculum
to teach students the
basic computer skills they need to
get through college.
Miller said, "It's tough,*because
there's not one class students have
to take."
Miller also gave a crash course
to Robert Dunn's accounting
classes. But speaking to classes is
not always possible because there
are not enough people working at
DUC to meet the demand. He
says, "If a lot of professors asked
us to talk to their classes, we
couldn't, because there wouldn't
be enough of us.
"We have a lot of support for
faculty, but sometimes the stu­dents
don't get the help they need.
I think we do more for students,"
Miller said.
In fact, Dunn is not the only
professor who requires computer
knowledge of his students.
David Sutton, a communica­tions
professor, required the stu­dents
in his argumentative dis­course
class to e-mail responses to
reading assignments.
Ashley Isaacs, who was in the
class winter quarter, said Sutton
taught the basics of e-mail and the
Internet in class. If students had

"The hardest thing is

Gretta Garrett
Junior, pre-veteiinaiy medicine
after that, he
taught them
one-on-one
on his office
c o m p u t e r .
"Some peo­ple
had never
used (e-mail)
before, so
they had
problems."
But, she said, using the Internet
and e-mail probably made the
class easier in the long run. "We
didn't have to retype a better
copy. He knew we couldn't
spellcheck, so it was more infor­mal
in that way," she said.
Most of all, it gave us experi­ence.
I would say overall it was a
good experience," Isaacs said.
Starr has a different approach.
He says he would not require his
students to use e-mail or the
Internet because he cannot be sure
they all have access. He believes
every Auburn student should
have routine access before it is
required for a course.
It is still too early to tell exactly
how the Internet will change edu­cation.
While excelling according
to Yahoo! does not teach all of its
students to use the technology it
provides.
Some professors cater to that
reality, and others try to correct it
on their own. But Miller explained
why t
