Thirteen vie for Feb. votes By JOEY LUALLEN

News Editor With only five days left

before the vote to decide the Democratic and Republican nominees for the 3rd Congressional District seat, the outcome is still un- foreseeable.

A recent Capstone Poll, commissioned by the An- niston Star, had Talladega businessman J i m P r e u i t t leading the Democra t ic contenders with 18 p e r - centage points.

But only eight percentage points separate the top five Democratic campaigners. Secre tary of S t a t e Glen

Browder, who many thought would have a strong showing in the campaign, ranked fifth among the nine Democratic candidates. Only 10 percent of voters said they would vote for Browder, a political science professor on leave from the University. State Rep. Cha r l e s Adams of Phenix City, Tuskeegee Mayor Johnny Ford and state Sen. Gerald Dial of Lineville each had close to 12 percent of the votes of those polled.

This week Ford, the only black in the race, canvassed for votes in the area, and spoke a t JSU last Monday.

State Sen. Donald Holmes of Oxford, Mike Sprayberry, Ted McLaughlin and Robert Emerson each had less than 5 percent of those polled favoring them.

Twenty-eight percent of Democrats polled said they were undecided in the i r choice.

Among Republ icans , 34 percent said they would vote for John Rice of Opelika. Giving Rice a substantial margin over Mike James who polled 9 percent. Ray Robbins came in a close third with 8.5 percent, while Jim Pace had 4.5 percent.

ILower standards trend I I hurts learning phases I

Schools and organizations must continually lower standards. A need for teachers, for instance, means a school must lower standards to allow more students to enter teaching programs. This seems to be the only way to turn out more teachers. Of course, this means many of the teachers may not be very effective.

The faculty senate recently approved a recommendation that the grade point average required to keep a Faculty Scholarship be reduced from 3.5 to 3.25. The appalling move echoes the actions of a group of crusading student pow- ermongers.

The senate sets a wonderful example for anyone looking for new ways to be lazy. One would think with only six full-tuition Faculty Scholarships available, the positions could be filled with students willing to put forth the extra effort required to maintain a 3.5.

Is it impossible to confer degrees to students who carry 3.5 GPAs or above? This is the 4th largest university in the state.

You've come a long way, baby.

Well, not really. People always say, "The more

things change, the more they stay the same." When it comes to the Chanticleer that certainly seems to be the case.

While looking through a box of old issues of the paper this weekend, I came across a fascinating piece of journalism.

It was in the Feb. 14, 1972 issue of the Chanticleer, and it was a list of "demands" from the staff.

Some of it was pretty humor- ous, such as then-editor Thom Simpson's question, "HQW does a staff of 15 fill up eight pages per week?" We thought that was funny because we have a staff of about 15 who fill an average of 20 pages every week.

Back then they had a 9 x 12 foot office, one desk, three chairs and shared a telephone with the Mimosa.

We were feeling pretty smug until we stopped to examine the situation. In 17 years, we have moved to an office about 18 x 22 feet. We have eight desks and six telephones, none of which we have to share, and we have as many chairs as we need, although many of them are bro-

Editor In Chief

ken. But after examining things a

little more closely, we found a lot of their "demands" were still valid today.

We even came up with a few "suggestions" of our own.

To begin with, besides the office we are in now, we have a beautiful new facility in Self Hall. At least, it was beautiful the last time I saw it. We cannot move in because we're twiddling our thumbs waiting on the new furniture we've been promised for the last two years (yes, years).

We still don't have a type- writer that works'well, but we do have five obsolete Apple computers, two of which don't work anymore. The maladies of these two computers only manifest themselves in the office, never when the repairman has them, so we cannot get them fixed.

We also still need some journalism classes. We have two, one for the paper staff and one

for the yearbook staff. We are probably years away from a major or minor in journalism.

Our staff writers still don't get paid, and the section editors get about one-third of the compensa- tion they deserve. Staff members really have to love journalism and be dedicated to it, because most of them get no mone- tary reward.

The really frustrating thing is we have been told for two years that something was being done about all these things.

Our office has been completed for months, yet it sits empty.

We desperately need updated computer equipment, yet no one knows what happened to the money designated for it. In- cidentally, if we do get the equipment we have just found out we have to share it with any faculty member who needs to use it. That ought to make dead- lines really fun.

Pleas up the "chain of com- mand" have fallen on deaf ears. I've even taken my case to a higher authority, but God says Satan was the original bureau- crat and all this red tape and running around in circles is a direct result of the actions of Adam and Eve.

As my predecessor Thom would say, "That's just T.S."

' Following the current trend, in the not-too-distant future we

will schools graduate students who simply attended classes I Letters to the Editor for four years. The educators will have to lower their standards to meet a certain government-mandated quota.

No one should lower his standards when there is not a need. That is why the petition before the SGA is ludicrous.

The petition asks that the required 2.5 GPA for executive officers be lowered to 2.25.

There is not one good reason to lower the grade requirement. There is no need to change. There are plenty of potential candidates who are wellqualified. This amendment reeks of self-servitude.

Why not have wellqualified students, who care enough about academics to keep above a 2.5 GPA, fill the positions?

The assumption that only bookworms will be running for office is ridiculous. Anyone who has to keep his nose in a book to keep a 2.5 would not be interested enough to endure the pressures of a campaign anyway. Rest assured there will still be plenty of qualified candidates who will be "in touch" with campus goings on.

Just because other institutions do not have grade point requirements does not mean we should change ours. They should change theirs.

Consider a student who gains the office through a lowered GPA requirement: quite possibly a totally laughable SGA president who fails to realize some degrees, perhaps the one he is striving for, require a 2.5 GPA to acquire.

Luckily, according to the University Catalog, a political science major requires no specific GPA. But a student working toward a bachelor's degree in communication must have a 2.5 GPA overall.

To borrow an old cliche: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Vote "No" to the proposed amendment March 7.

Student points to AIDS education

In response to the editorial "Ban AIDS in School" in the 'Jan. 19 issue of the Chanticleer:

When people hear the word AIDS, many ideas come to mind. It is a very serious disease that needs our attention. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV, is transmitted primarily through having sex or sharing IV needles with an infected person. Also. an infected pregnant woman could transmit HIV to the child she is carrying.

Think about these questions. If AIDS could be transmitted by casual contact, why don't the doctors and nurses treating AIDS patients get the HIV? Why don't the family members of AIDS patients contract HIV by living in the same house?

Over 110.000 cases have been documented worldwide, and casual transmission has never been shown to be the wav a wrson has

become infected with HIV. Ra- tional precautions do need to be taken, especially when giving medical assistance.

I do not feel that a quarantine would solve part or all of the AIDS epidemic. There are people who have HIV and do not realize it, and a few who have the virus do not develop symp- toms for a long period.

There is a lot to know about HIV and AIDS and the way it affects its victims. It can be extremely frightening to think about, but as you pull the facts together knowledge and under- standing will come.1 amlearning more about AIDS. Please. do the same. Don't let fear rob you of knowledge. If you have questions, look for answers. This is affecting the rest of our lives!

Apathy not culprit to all students here

This letter is in response to last week's guest commentary, "Apathy gets us again."

I am a student which apathy did not get. Just because the writer chose to be active in sports, school and community life does not necessarily prove "us", the student community, to be apathetic persons sitting on our butts. .

I wonder if it has crossed the writer's mind that a good ma- jority of the students are thrilled that the SGA has taken responsi- bility for planning various events.

I am happy to give professors my parking space and walk a little further to class.

I understand not all food is going to be satisfactory for all students at Marriott dining hall.

If we, as students, were to get as involved as this commentary

Tony !Ton By CYNDI OWENS

Editor in Chief "This has been an exciting

time for us," said Dwayne Wig- gins, one "Tony" from the group Tony! Toni! Tone!.

This man is a master of under- statement.

The 3Ts, brothers Dwayne and Raphael Wiggins and cousin Timothy Christian, have been crisscrossing the United States, working concert dates and appearing with groups like Keith Sweat , New Editon and Earth, Wind and Fire.

Wiggins said during a recent telephone interview with the Chanticleer that the offer to perform with Earth, Wind and Fire "shocked" him. "That's like the group ," he said. "Every- body grew up listening to and hearing about them. They are really nice people and a lot of fun."

The group was not going to get an easy ride, however. "Because we all look so young, I think they thought we were one of those 'fad-y' type groups," he said.

"They weren't going to give us a sound check the first day, I guess because they didn't think we would need one."

Rick Aviles By CARLA BYRAM

Entertainment Editor What would Rick Aviles say to

persuade students to come to his performances?

A: "Come get a shot of New York."

B: "Come see Rick or go to Wal Mart."

C: "Bite the Apple." D: "Come taste the crumb

before it's gone." E: All of the above If you picked E, you are right

and you also have gained some insight into his personality.

Aviles is a street-smart, brash comic from New York who will perform Feb. 15 a t the Comedy Club.

He got his "comedy training wheels" on\ the streets of New York City as a street comic. "If he comes on stage looking like a tough guy from the streets that's

i!Tone'! here tonight The 3Ts were not going to be

put off. "We were musicians long before we went on stage," Wiggins said. "After the first day, they really got into us. We earned their respect."

Apparently so. Wiggins said as the dates progressed, Earth, Wind and Fire members loaned the 3Ts some of their equipment and road crew.

"We were kind of spoiled." But the 3Ts have tried not to

let their success change them. "We're responsible for accept- .ing dates, and we have to man- age the whole thing (touring) ," Wiggins said. "We have to pay everybody, pay for the hotels, room and board, make sure a tour bus has been scheduled and so on. We're used to being back- up musicians, and all you have to do is show up with your instru- ment. After the show, you can go back to the hotel and chill."

It is doubtful the 3Ts have much time to "chill" anymore. After a hectic schedule of pro- moting their debut album Who?, including shooting videos for the releases, they have already started work on a new album.

"We've been working on that for about two weeks," he said.

"Two songs are written and a couple of others are in the works."

One of the new songs is "JoJo," written about a friend of Wiggins'. "It's about missing children. The words go like 'Are you lonely, JoJo ... Are you on your own?' "

Wiggins said the group is concerned about the problem of missing children, as well as being concerned about drug abuse. "Everything we can do (to help), we're willing to do."

Besides getting involved in social issues, the 3Ts hope to "be very strong forces in the music industry," both as writers and producers. "We want to help others out and give others a chance."

For right now, though, they will concentrate on their own careers, including their performance here tonight. Wiggins had a message for students here and fans everywhere.

"We want to say hello to everybody, and say thanks for sup- porting us and God bless."

Oh yeah, and one more thing. "Don't expect to sit in your

V HAPPY U ALE Valentines are old custom

The custom of sending cards or tokens of one's love to one's sweetheart on St. Valentine's Day, the 14th of February. goes back to pagan times and certainly long before 270 AD, when Valentine, a priest in Rome. was beaten and executed for his Christian faith.

The association of love with St. Valentine's Day came about because of the Roman feast of Lupercalia. This important feast was one of respect for Pan. one of whose tasks it was to drive the wolves away from the flocks.

During the ceremony a sacri- fice of goats and a dog would be made. The foreheads of two young boys would be stained with the blood from the sarri- fice. the skins of the goats would be cut into strips and then the boys would run through the streets lashing everyone thay met with bundles of these strips Young women took care not to avoid the lashes, as they be- lieved that being struck by them would assist conception of a child.

The early Christian mis- sionaries and priests tried to do away with pagan customs and superstitions such as this festival. attempting to substitute saints' days for them: thus Saint Valentine. who was killed on the eve of Lupercalia, was introduced.

St. Valentine's Day thus now perpetuates the memory of the Spring Festival. the season when birds mate and '*a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.. '

As early as the 15th century the custom became popular whereby the young would on St. Valentine's Day choose by lot -- drawing names from a box -- lovers. sweethearts. or just special friends for the ensuing year. The owner of the name drawn in the lottery would be sent a present of some kind by the person who had drawn the name.

By the 18th century expensive presents were no longer expected. a token or letter taking their place. The transition from

Gifts are easy to buy It seems like every holiday

mandates the offering of a gift from one person to his or her mate. This especially holds true for Valentine's Day, when lovers across the nation give tokens of their love and feelings to their counterpart.

As with every other holiday, there are those who wait until the last possible minute to purchase a gift. The following list of gift ideas was compiled with those people in mind.

1) Candy - A heart-shaped box of candy is the long-standing tradition on Valentine's Day. With the assurance of the Febru- ary ritual, it's hard to go wrong with candy. Prices range from a couple of bucks to sometimes $100, and the item can be purchased at almost any grocery or drug store.

THE LOVER'S WISH

2) Flowers -- Roses are probably the favorite and are often used in combination with candy. However, flowers alone are an adequate gift.

3) Cards - Although they are less romantic and popular among people, cards can often be used to convey feelings that before have been hard to express. Once again, cards are often used in combination with candy and or flowers.

4 ) Stuffed animals - Who can resist a cuddly teddy bear?

5) Lingerie -- Everybody likes '.o wear things that make them feel sexy. Although tastes may vary, generally people think of lingerie as a good gift.

People have their likes and dislikes when it comes to gifts. Although these gifts may not be for everybody, they're usually a safe bet.

May peace be ever round thy dwelling, And all that's good on thee attend; And may each morn with pleasure smiling, hail thee still, my lovely friend. And whether in the bustling town, Or in the country's calm retreat, May fortune never on thee frown, - nor envy grudge thy better fate. May slander's darts fall far behind thee, Or pointed back against thy foe, Still may the honest heart befriend thee, And guard you safe where'er you go. Oh! may you never drop a tear, Except for sorrows not your own; Or for the friend you loved so dear, In tribute to the worth that's gone. Far be the man that would attempt To lead you from fair virtues way, Ye powers above! Do ye prevent The tongue that flatters to betray. And ever free from rude alarms, In happiness long may you live; Blest with a faithful lover's arms, With all that worldly wealth can give. May guardian angels still protect thee, Whereso'er you chance to roam; And should the base world ever vex you, Oh! make my bosom still your home.

The Bedrockers I l~edrockers compile ( IEP from originals I

C. A. ABERNATHY Music Writer

The Bedrockers -- John Bearden, Mike Duckworth, Tim

.Maguire and Steve Worthy -- have put together an E P contain- ing six of their more than 25 original songs.

Incredible guitar solos, urgent rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics bring this group's songs to life. The Bedrockers' sincerity is mirrored in the songs' subtle social statements about love, life and making sense of the confusion everyone can relate to. This is heard thoughout the EP, from the questioning lyrics about a relationship and uptem- po melody of "How Many Times" on side one to the lighter mood and danceable sound of "I

Been Down" closing out side two.

"Goin' D6wn" swirls with ex- citement as Bearden, lead singer, sings you fill my heart, I'm drowning in your love, cir- cumstances leave me on cloud nine. . . I need your love tonight, you've got me turning circles once again.. . .

"Lonely" is a haunting ballad about being left behind by someone who was once very close.

Side two begins with "Caught In The Middle," which shows the musicianship of each member, from the driving backbeat combined with an urgent bass solo accented by whirring chords on lead guitar. "I Really Wonder" creates an emotional insight to (See BEDROCKERS, Page 15)

album has only been out for a few months, but it is already turning up on the collectors market for as much as $250. The album, Back in the USSR, is slated for release only in the Soviet Union on the state-run record company Melodiya. The company has been authorized to sell 400,000 copies for about W.50 each.

The original edition ' of the album is the most desireable. After the first 50,000 copies were sold the album was changed and one more song was added. A few copies of the first cut have reportedly made their way to the United States. They are being tracked down by Beatles collec-

Furthermore, a good 99.82 percent of the class could not possibly care less about what these people are saying.

There seems to be no age bracket for these fellow students. Lots of people think each student over the age of 25 was strategically placed in classes to make younger students feel in- ferior. Not so. I have classes

There is a liberal cross-sampl- ing of ages among psuedo-intellectuals. I know just as many 19 year olds who are royal pains to be in class with as 39 year olds.

"If it's there, and it's interest- ing, I'll use it," said artist Bob Marchiony of his work.

Visitors to Hammond Hall Gallery during the exhibition of Marchiony's work Jan. 17-Feb. 3 recognized the truth in his statement.

Most of Marchiony's work con- sists of collages which he con- structs from photographs, drawings, paintings, strokes of color, real objects and then photographs. The photograph is tne final product.

Marchiony's work is a com-

bination of "reality and image making," according to Karen Henricks, art teacher and acting head of the ar t department. "The viewer is continually challenged in the final work."

P h o t o g r a p h y , w h i c h Marchiony calls "light writing," has changed a great deal in the '80s. Henricks said Marchiony's use of photography represents the "new uses of photographs in terms of fine art."

Marchiony also works with drawings and paintings. His Hammond Hall exhibit included several of his works in these media.

"Whirlpool" is a large oil painting done in black and red which looks disturbingly like a human head.

Bob Marchiony received a bachelor's in commercial ar t and certification in secondary education from the University of Alabama. He also received a Master of Art and Master of Fine Art in photography from the University of Iowa. He currently teaches drawing, painting and photography to children in grades K-8 in the Montevallo City School. Marchiony lives in Birmingham with his wife and two children.

David Dempsey JSU's only National Merit Scholar By ERIC MACKEY

Features Writer David Dempsey , a JSU

sophomore, has been chosen as a National Merit Scholar.

Dempsey, the only student from the University to be chosen for this honor, is quite a re- markable person.

Dempsey is actually only now attending his first full year a t JSU, since he is a 1988 graduate of Jacksonville High School. However, he took his first class a t JSU while still a junior in high school. That was a non-credit algebra course which he later took for credit. He finished two semesters of calculus while a senior in high school.

Although his mathematical ability is evident, David is not unique in his family. His parents, Wayne and Sharon, a re both math instructors in the IJniversity's math department. David is currently aspiring to become a math teacher on the high school level. He has already gotten a head start by tutoring privately and through the Uni- versity.

All of this, however, does not

begin to describe David or his family. He is interested in many other areas such a s chemistry and the sciences. He has studied both German and Spanish.

Through a test on his ability in German, David was able to travel last summer to Germany where he stayed near Nurem- burg with a host family. He was able to attend classes a t the local high school, where he and other American students studied culture and other basic curricula.

Though the trip was during summer vacation. David pointed out that the Germans attend school for fewer hours each day. so they attend all year except for August, the Christmas holidays and spring vacation.

He was also able to travel during his visit, thanks to the American Association of Teach- ers of German. He had the opportunity to visit Berlin for a few days.

David's interests reach even further. He plays the piano and often displays his talent at the Dempsey's home or church. He is also considering the possi-

bility of going to Bolivia this summer with his church on a missions project.

David, whose family is native to Calhoun County, has a younger brother, Michael, a freshman a t Jacksonville High School. David himself is only 18.

David says he really enjoys JSU and chose to attend for several reasons, but mainly because he just likes it. His mother said, "I'm really proud of him for accomplishing that goal (Merit Scholar). "

She said the area always "needs good math teachers" and she believes David will fit that description.

David takes the honors all in stride. Even though he is the only student here to receive the honor, he said, "I'm just glad to have some extra money to pay for books. "

Still, he has high hopes for the future. "I'm hoping to be a good teacher. There's a lot that can be improved in education. I'm hoping that I can help some way." David Dempsey, Sha ron Dempsey a n d Wayne Dempsey

Ten st It takes a lot of money to run

an institute of higher learning such as our good '01 JSU. And nobody knows it better than students, who are constantly subjected to tuition hikes, fees and police tickets to keep the bank account full.

Just the other day I was thinking about exactly how much it did take to fund the University, and well, I've come up with some ideas to save or generate a little money and perhaps pass the savings along to the con- sumer, or us, the students. SO, pay attention Dr. McGee, if you are reading this, and what the heck, take some notes.

Money Saving or Generating Idea No. 1 -- Send back all those damn clocks! They don't work anyway! How can anyone operate on a tight schedule when there's not a single operating clock on the campus? Timex and Swatch must make a fortune off our poor, disoriented students.

Money Saving or Generating Idea No. 2 -- Instead of paying some snooty nursery for all of those stupid bushes and shrubs, send somebody over to the woods in Piedmont to dig up a few trees. They'll look just as nice dead outside of Montgom- ery Building as those store- bought ones do.

Money Saving or Generating Idea No. 3 -- Cut off the paper supply to the campps police department. Make them operate on only 15,000 cardboard tickets

Cereal important to healthy eating By DIANE PONG

Flaked cereal did not appear as a breakfast item until 1884, when the Kellogg company began producing wheat flakes. Later corn was substituted for wheat and that is how the popular corn flakes began.

When the name Charles Page is mentioned, one does not think of a g r e a t scorer or a great rebounder.

What c o m e s to m i n d , however, is a JSU senior basketball player who is both a l e a d e r a n d a m o r a l e builder.

"I don't, think Charles' value on our team rests with statitics," said head coach Bill Jones. "I think he's valued on our team by his efforts a s a morale builder to help younger players and his overall demeanor . He's a fine representative of our university . "

High school seniors sign this week 1.aketball UPCOMING HOME EVENTS

By the time this newspaper hits the stands this morning, THE DATE -- Feb. 8 -- will have passed.

"What is so special about Feb. 8?" you ask.

Yes, it is just another day to some people. But for some high school senior football players, this will be one of the most important dates in their athletic careers. You see, this is the first day college recruiters can sign high school seniors to a scholarship to play football for their respective universities.

The Division I-A schools tend to get the most publicity this time of year. But you can be sure JSU picked up its share of talented athletes yesterday. As of last weekend, the Gamecocks had received 11 committments.

Those 11 who committed as of last weekend include three local players. Both Andre Allen, a 5- foot-11, 245-pound offensive

He began drawing cartoons for newspapers .when he was 16. He attended Florida State Univer- sity and drew editorial cartoons for its student newspaper, The Flambeau, while majoring in philosophy and minoring in art.

His editorial cartoons and "Kudzu" strips have been col- lected in nine books. The most recent are "Shred This Book!" from Peachtree Publishers and "I Am Not a Televangelist!," featuring the Rev. Will B. Dunn, from Longstreet Press.
