Blacks speak
against paper
By Siona Carpenter
News Staff
The Auburn Plainsman came
under fire Jan. 23 at the second
black Student Speak Out. The
students were angered by a
column opposing a national holi­day
for Martin Luther King Jr.
During the two-hour forum
Auburn President James Martin
was asked if the Plainsman could
go too far in its editorial columns.
"The Plainsman is essentially a
student publication and the
majority is done by students,"
Martin said. "The University
does not in any way restrain or
review editorials."
The students were upset by the
Jan. 17 column by Jennifer Linn
vhich questioned the holiday for
the slain civil rights leader. The
editorial questioned whether
King had been associated with
Communism and "sexual per­version."
"I respect her rights to have an
opinion, but I thought the editor­ial
was in poor taste," said one
student.
Dean of Students Pat Barnes
told students to "state the oppo­site
positively" when offended,
urging students to respond to
Plainsman columns.
"Jennifer's column was her
personal opinion," said Lynne
Hopkins, editor of the Plains­man.
"The only editorials that
reflect the views of the Plains­man
are the ones that run down
the left side of the columns."
Hopkins said the Plainsman
would like to have "not just
blacks but foreign writers, too,
because we need a variety of
opinions."
The question and answer ses­sion,
organized by the office of
Special Programs, featured a
panel which included, among
others, Martin, Barnes and SGA
President David Shaffer.
The students also criticized the
large Confederate flag which
sometimes hangs from the
Kappa Alpha house and the fra­ternity's
Old South Parade.
After the forum, Donnelle
Hopkins, a senior, said the
parade "represents everything
we've been working to get rid of
for 100 years."
Phyliss Kerney, also a senior,
said the flag and the parade show
the fraternity's "lack of sensitiv­ity
toward blacks."
On Feb. 12 members of the
Black Student Action Committee
(BSAC) and Kappa Alpha fra­ternity
members will go before
the committee on fraternities and
sororities to discuss the com­plaints.
The questions asked at the
speak out ranged from incentives
for blacks in the graduate pro­gram
to Auburn's policies toward
South African tennis players.
Most of the questions, however,
dealt with recruiting black stu­dents
and faculty.
"Auburn University is commit­ted
to recruiting the best qualified
black freshmen," said Herbert
Hawkins, associate dean of
students.
Hawkins pointed out that the
black freshman enrollment in
1984 was 153—an increase of 125
percent over 1983. Of the 18,900
students enrolled at Auburn dur­ing
the fall quarter, nearly 600
were black, he said.
Martin said steps are also
being taken to hire qualified
black faculty, especially in "the
hard sciences."
Shaffer said he is "positive
about what happened" at the
Speak Out. "I had an opportunity
to be challenged and to challenge
the students here," he said.
After the forum, Shaffer
enlisted several students for SGA
committee positions and outlined
three steps he plans to take as a
result of the Speak Out:
1. To ask Martin how the SGA
can help the University with its
recruiting of black students.
.2. To divide the office of high
school relations recruiting efforts
into another subgroup to recruit
minority students.
3. To ask for a budget increase
for Minority Relations.
"We needed this Speak Out
because black students were gen­erally
feeling , left out and
unheard at Auburn," said
Tommy Lanier, president of the
Afro-American Association.
Lanier said the Speak Out's main
goal is keeping the administra­tion
updated on the needs of
black students at Auburn.

Happy-hour rules postponed
t
By Bryan Crowson
Assistant News Editor
The Alabama Beverage Control Board's pro­posed
regulations concerning happy hour drink
specials have been "suspended for future consid­eration"
by the legislative council, said Henry B.
Gray III, head of the ABC Board.
The regulations would prohibit specials aimed
at certain segments of the population (like "ladies'
night"), two- and three-for-one specials, and spe­cials
offering all you can drink for a specified time.
"Most people miss the point," said Gray. "They
can still sell a drink for 10 cents, but the customer
must order each drink separately, and that's the
key."
The regulations are supported by the Hotel and
Motel Association of Alabama and the Retail
Merchants Association, but opposed by The Bir­mingham
and Alabama Restaurant Associations
because they are opposed to "any more regula­tion,"
said Gray. He said the regulations have
"tremendous" public support.
Some local bar managers support the regula­tions
and some oppose them.
"I don't support the law at all," said Dwight
Scala, manager of Waldo Pepper's. Although he
agrees with the part about time-limit specials,
which encourage people to "guzzle it down until
they pass out," he opposes the regulations because
he believes people will drink more on their own
before driving to the bar.
Scala is not worried about the regulation's effect
on his business because without drink specials,
the basis of competition between local bars will
shift to bands and entertainment. "Customers will
spend more money in the long run, and we'll make
more money in the long run," he said, adding that
he would not lower drink prices.
Pete Schmudlach, manager of Harvey's Food
Emporium, thinks the regulations are a "great
idea." He said he has to run drink specials because
his competition does it.
"It's gotten out of hand and a little wild. I hate to
see more controls on us, but I think it would put
everybody on an even basis," said Schmudlach.
Schmudlach said the elimination of three-for-one
specials could "feasibly" allow him to lower
the normal price for drinks from $2.25 to about
$1.95.
The ABC Board has 100 agents to cover the
state, said Gray. The agents show their identifica­tion
when they enter bars. If a bar is cited for an
infraction, the licensee must appear at a board
hearing. Penalties include fines up to $1,000 and
suspension or revokation of a liquor license.
"The University of Alabama was one of the
main promoters of these regulations," said Gray,
adding that specials like free drinks for people
wearing swimsuits and free drinks for certain sor-ority
members had become common in
Tuscaloosa.
"I think it's a great step forward to protect-the -
people of Alabama because there will be fewer
intoxicated people on the road," said Gray.

^ arAlabama Commission on
igher Education has made its
1985-86 budget recommendations
to Gov. George C. Wallace, and
President James E. Martin is
applauding the commission for
what he calls "another very good
budget."
The recommendation for
Auburn totals $72,417,000, com­pared
to $57,226,570 for the cur­rent
year, or a 26.54 percent
increase. The total recommenda­tion
for the Alabama Cooperative
Extension Service and the Agri­cultural
Experiment Station is
$30,738,000, an increase of 25.36
percent. AUM's increase by
ACHE is 21.85 percent, to
$11,609,000.
"ACHE has developed another
very good budget using the same
formula components that were
adopted last year by Governor
Wallace and the Legislature,"
Martin said.
"We hope that the same proce­dure
will be followed and the
results will be as good as last,
year."
ACHE also has adopted Mar­tin's
recommendation that the
School of Veterinary Medicine be
funded separately from the regu­lar
operations and maintenance
portion of the budget.
"This brings greater visibility
to this important area and begins
to treat it in a similar fashion as
regular medical programs," Mar­tin
said.
"We believe that the result of
this change will be a stronger
funding base for the program."
ACHE also is recommending
that $13 million in one-time
money be set aside for an eminent
scholars program that Martin
says has great potential for Ala­bama's
universities. To parti
pate in the program, institutions
would be required to raise
$500,000 from private donors.
The state would then match that
amount, thereby creating a $1
million endowed professorship.
Additionally, ACHE has deve­loped
what Martin calls an
"excellent plan" to allocate one­time
money available in the Spe­cial
Education Trust Fund

Bank donates house to AU
HISTORIC HOUSE
The Scott-Yarbrough Home stands at the end of Magnolia Avenue
One of the oldest houses in
Auburn, the Scott-Yarbrough
House, is being donated by the
Auburn National Bank to the
Auburn University Foundation.
The gift of the residence listed on
the National Register was
announced Tuesday by E.L.
Spencer Jr., Auburn National
board chairman.
"A basic policy at Auburn
National has always been sup­port
of the advancement of the
community—materially and cul­turally,"
said Spencer. "We
believe the history of this house
symbolizes the close ties between
Auburn, the town, and Auburn,
the educational institution. It's
our hope that by this gift those
ties will be strengthened to the
benefit of both."
President James E. Martin
said the historic residence on
Debardeleben Street at the end of
the 400 block of East Magnolia
Avenue, will be used as guest
quarters for distinguished vis­itors
to the University.
"We consider it a privilege to
become custodian of this com­munity
treasure and are hopeful
that it can be made available to
civic groups and townspeople for
special events," Martin ex­plained.
Prominent visitors such as
executives in residence and visit­ing
scholars will stay at the
house, Martin said. "An individ­ual
with a spouse can stay at a
well-landscaped house so they
don't feel like they're staying in a
hotel."
The house carries the names of:
its first and last owners, both fig­ures
in the political life of the
town and associated with the
forerunners of today's Auburn
University. Restored in 1981, the
ante-bellum house contains
about 3,400 square feet and occu­pies
2.2 acres on one of the high­est
points in Auburn. The house
and grounds have been ap­praised
at some $200,000.
Julian Holmes, AU director of
alumni and development, said
the bank's action brings to more
than 1,100 the number of indi­viduals

Anachronism society recreates feudal lifestyle Inside-,
By Lee Ann Landers
Assistant Copy Editor
Dressed as their favorite per­sona,
members of the Society of
Creative Anachronism cele­brated
the medieval period by
sponsoring displays, lectures and
dance demonstrations last Sat­urday
at a Medieval Faire in Foy
Union.
Anachronism as defined by
Webster's Dictionary is a person
or thing that is chronologically
out of place.
Squires, lords and ladies
attended the faire although the
" m e d i e v a l " costumes had
zippers, people wore eyeglasses
and the stereo played medieval
music.
"Forward into the past" is one
of the society's mottos. Many his­tory
scholars object to the way
the society approaches the
medieval period, saying the
society is inaccurate. Tracy
Kane, president, says, "Accuracy
is not what the society strives for,
although we hold to the values
and traditions as much as
possible."
The society calls its president a
seneschal. "The duty of the sene­schal
in medieval times was
keeper of the keys. He kept the
key to the castle and was respon­sible
for it, just as I am responsi­ble
for the organization and mot­ivation
of this society," said
Kane. She says advancement in
the society is based solely on skill
and dedication.
"We learn by doing. We take on
a persona we would like to be and
research their time period and
character," Kane, also known as
Lady Starren Cathlin O'Cahan,
added.
The society, says Kane, is a
hobby which can change at the
discretion of the member. If a
person becomes bored with a cer­tain
character all he has to do is
research another character and
make a new costume.
"For me it's great because I
become bored with things easily,
and this allows flexibility. Most
people who enjoy the society are
usually the type people who read
fantasy books, as I do," Kane
said.
Lord Conn Finn MacNessa,
also known as John Grewelle,
freshman, said, the SCA is a non­profit
organization and its pur­pose
is to recreate and learn
about all aspects of the medieval
age. Interests and research range
from armor, fighting, costumes,
music and chivalry. Grewelle, a
squire, plays classical guitar,
builds armor and fights.
"Another thing we try in pro­mote
as a society is chivalry and
the ideals that were cherished
during that period. And so help
you if you are rude, especially to a
lady," Grewelle added.
Chivalry and romanticism are
two things which attracted

fc;Hey Day' tradition being revived
is part of AU's friendly reputation
By Emily Bentley
Features Staff
• When President James Martin
came back to Auburn in the win­ter
of 1984, he was pleased that
Auburn, although tripled in
enrollment since his student days
30 years before, still had and
deserved a reputation for being
an e x c e p t i o n a l l y friend­ly
campus.
; Hey Day 1985—tomorrow, Feb.
1—is a way for students to dem­onstrate
that Auburn University
has earned and is still earning its
reputation as the friendliest
tampue in the South, according
to Martin and Hey Day's student
organizer, Matt Moore.
• Calling someone by his or her
first name is recognized as a sign
of warmth and friendliness, and
for that reason, name tags are a
must on Hey Day. Tables will be
set up around campus tomorrow
with nametags to use. Moore says
the day should be a great oppor­tunity
to have fun and meet a lot
of people.
i Martin attended Auburn in the
mid-1950s when there were
approximately 5,000 students.
Everyone wore nametags on Hey
Day and spoke to everyone else.
• The president admits it may be
tougher now to speak to everyone
on campus, since in 1955 he at
least recognized most of his fel­low
students.
In reinstating the Auburn Hey
Day tradition, a diverse group of
Students have planned activities
for Friday to cause as much eat­ing,
meeting and greeting as can
be healthy on a modern univer­sity
campus.
\ Free barbecue sandwiches,
chips and cola will be served until
jt runs out from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Friday on Cater Lawn. Enter­tainment
in the form of the
Auburn University Singers and
cheerleaders will serve as further
inducements to get faculty and
students in a festive mood.
Auburn vs. Kentucky basket­ball
tickets will be given away in
a drawing of names taken from
registration lists at the nametag
stations that will dot the campus.
Moore began considering the
possibilities for the rebirth of the
tradition after Martin mentioned
its absence.
In October, Moore began gath­ering
a core of volunteers to pull
plans together, he said. Moore
explains that he wants to involve
as many people as possible, meet­ing
as many people as possible,
and having as much fun as
possible.
Hey Day was originally spon­sored
by the Squires, a sopho­more
honorary. According to a
1950 issue of the Plainsman, it
began in 1946. Through the '50s it
was held once per quarter, and in
the spring it was included in the
"village fair."
That weekend, Auburn came
alive to show its best to visiting
high school seniors.
Events to look forward to on
Hey Day in 1955 included the
crowning of Miss Hey Day, a
parade, a dance, skits and cur­fews
as late as 12 o'clock for the
girls on Saturday night.
An editorial in the April 9,1954
Plainsman expressed the feeling
of the staff like this: "This is the
Auburn you have heard so much
about... Learn what this institu­tion
does. Learn why thousands
of Auburn men and women, both
past and present, are proud to be
labeled an Auburn product. We
hope you will find the same
friendliness and spirit which has
inspired countless of us...."
The tradition of having Hey
Day ended sometime in the early
'60s, when Auburn's enrollment
increased rapidly.
But the tradition lives again.

Auburn University Police say
they have arrested a suspect in

of a female University student is

Students petition
station to bring
back Letterrrian
By Denise Self
News Staff
Four concerned Auburn stu­dents
collected 2,000 signatures
within an hour on the concourse
Jan. 28 to help reinstate Late
Night with David Letterman to
WSFA Channel 12 in Montgo­mery,
an NBC affiliate which
recently quit carrying the show.
Allan Lowman, Suzanne Le-
Mire, Kathy Holloway and Alli­son
Bradford, coordinators of the
"Save Dave" campaign, said the
idea to start a petition began as a
bet.
Student response was so great
that they were encouraged to do
more. A 12-foot paper scroll was
covered front and back with three
columns of signatures Monday.
The scroll was sent Tuesday by
Federal Express to David Let­terman
in New York.
Late Night with David Letter-man,
a comedy-oriented talk
show, was cancelled Jan. 24 and
replaced with reruns of MM *S*H
and WKRP in Cincinnati. Chan­nel
12 cancelled the show because
of low ratings in Montgomery,
and the surrounding areas.
"We carried the program for
three years, but the two national
rating systems—Neilson and
Arbitron—showed a downswing
in the Montgomery area," said
Carl Stephens, WSFA program
manager. Stephens added that
the ratings were high nationally.
"Stupid pet tricks, man-beneath-
the-seats and interest­ing
guests are a few reasons
many students stay up late to
watch the show," said Lowman.
LeMire described Letterman as a
"cynical wit" and an "original
comedian who doesn't rely on
cliches."
"He is on the student intellec­tual
level, and the show makes a
good study break that relieves
tension," said Bradford.
Lowman and Bradford met
with Stephens on Jan. 29 to dis­cuss
bringing back the show and
present copies of the 2,000 signa­tures.
Stephens explained that
Letterman was rated a low 13-1
show in the Montgomery area,
but he encouraged more student
responses.
Late Night with David Letter-man
is being shown on Columbus
Channel 38, cable channel 13.
"We are doing this for students
who don't have cable," said
Lowman. "I encourage students
to write WSFA in Montgomery
and tell them how they feel."
Student Disciplinary Committee
so that something can be done
about the student's actions.
In another incident, University
detectives arrested a 22 year-old
Auburn woman Jan. 23, for leav­ing
the scene of an accident
which occured on Samford
Avenue in front of Burton Hall on
Jan. 22. Police say the driver
struck a coed as the student and a
friend were crossing in a cross
walk at night. Police say that the
woman drove off after hitting the
girl, who suffered minor injuries.
The charges facing the Auburn
driver are classified as felony
charges. The woman is facing a
possible $5000 fine, a jail term of
no less than 30 days and no more
than one year.
Auburn City Police say their
search for the assailant of coed '
Lynn Cardno is still ongoing. An
unidentified black man attemp­ted
to choke her in her Eagles
West apartment Jan. 16, and
then fled after being scared off by
Cardno's roommate. Investigat­ing
officers say a composite has
been made of the man by Cardno
and is currently being circulated.
48 merit finalists looking at Auburn
Forty-eight National Merit
Finalists—the most ever—have
cited Auburn as their first choice
in a university, according to the
National Merit Scholarship
Corp.
Pat Barnes, dean of students,
said the corporation has notified
her that the students will soon be
announced as 1985's National
Merit Finalists and have indi­cated
that Auburn is where they
want to attend college.
"We're delighted, of course,"
Barnes said. "This is a very posi­tive
indication of the quality of
the student body at Auburn."
Barnes said the information
was revealed by the corporation,
although the finalists won't be.
offically identified for a few
weeks. She said once the
announcements are made,
Auburn will concentrate on
recruiting the students, most of
whom have already been
approached by the university
based on other academic
achievements.
If Auburn is able to enroll the
48 students, 1985-86 will be
another record-setting year for
National Merit Finalists. In this
year's freshman class, there are
37 finalists, and Auburn now
ranks in the top 50 universities in
the United States in number of
National Merit Scholars.

Team teaching' makes Ascent course
By Jody Kamins
Features Staff
The Ascent of Man is the only
course taught at Auburn which
combines the sciences and
humanities to study the devel­opment
of human beings. The
course is designed around a series
of films by Jacob Bronowski, a
literary critic and mathemati­cian
who made major advances
in scientific thought in the late
1960s,.
Bronowski said his "ambition
has been...to create one philo­sophy
for the 20th century. His
series presents a philosophy
rather than a history, and a phi­losophy
of nature rather than of
science."
The class works through "team
teaching" by having two profes­sors,
one from humanities and
one from sciences in each class.
According to one participant,
this allows for an "excellent bal­ance
of ideas." Students are pres­ently
studying the development
of mathematics ranging from
Greek to Islamic advancements.
The course is different from a
history course in that the discus­sion
can range from calculus to
art. These disciplines are brought
together when an artist's percep­tion
of infinity and a mathmeti-cian's
use of infinity are dis­cussed.
Discussion might also
cover the Greeks'obsession with
numbers in relation to music.
Dr. Jerry Brown of the journal­ism
department said, "It's a
course that puts the world back
together again," because it shows
students how all academic sub­jects
work together. Brown added
that subjects such as art, history
and physics get put in "various
compartments" so that "we don't
think of science as an art or art as
essential."
Dr. Taylor Littleton of the Eng­lish
department said the course
grew out of an interest in the
Franklin Lectures in Science and
Humanities given at Auburn 16
years ago. Part of that interest,
he said, was in the University's
"twin heritages," since Auburn
started out as a liberal institution
and then became a land grant
institution that emphasized agri­culture
and other sciences.
At the beginning of each week,
students see a film by Bronowski
and hear a guest speaker. Classes
for the rest of the week are spent
on lecture and discussion.
According to Dr. Phil Shelvin of
the chemistry department, the
course "won't work if students
don't contribute" to discussion.
The tests are made up of essay
questions and students are
expected to understand the ideas
presented and articulate them on
paper. There are no prerequisites
for the course and classes vary
from seniors to freshmen.
Before teaching the class,
faculty members must attend a
rigorous training course in the
summer. Dr. Drew Clark of the
English department said it is
impossible for anyone to be an
expert in the class, and even the
faculty "never learn anything
perfectly."
Faculty members teaching the
course choose the faculty who
will teach for the next year.
Brown said faculty members are
chosen who are curious outside of
their own discipline, and should
bring this attribute into then-teaching.
Dr. Ginger Kelley, coordinator
for the course, is responsible for
contacting speakers and updat­ing
the reading materials.
Faculty members are rotated out
after a few years, because the
class is so demanding. The class
is challenging for the faculty and
serves as a learning experience
for them and students.

Star Wars gamble
The space shuttle Discovery shot
into t h e sky last Thursday on a mis­sion
shrouded in secrecy. Three days
and 47 orbits of the Earth later, it
returned, military mission complete.
This "secret" mission promises to
be only t h e beginning of t h e Defense
D e p a r t m e n t ' s involvement with
NASA and the space shuttles-an
involvement that in the long run
would be detrimental to the princi­ples
upon which the space program
was originally established.
The space program was intro­duced
in the 1960s with a commit­ment
to a "peaceful purpose." Put­ting
a spy satellite in space is not
peaceful. However, the shuttle was
commandeered because no branch
of the military has its own shuttles
yet.
With President Reagan's con­tinued
devotion to the "Star Wars"
plan to increase the militarization of
space, and last week's ground­breaking
shuttle flight, it is obvious
that the purpose of NASA and the
U.S Space Program has become
moot. The overlap of m i l i t a ry
schemes with the shuttle program
has jeopardized NASA's more
peaceful pursuits, such as research
intended primarily to improve liv­ing
conditions on Earth.
While it is apparently inevitable
t h a t the arms race in space will con­tinue,
there is no need for NASA to
be a n instrument of war. NASA was
created for peaceful purposes, and
the use of the agency for the
advancement of military goals blurs
the line t h a t has thus far preserved
the agency's non-aggressive atti­tude
toward space exploration.
Fortunately, the military has
formed a service branch devoted to
strategic and defensive systems in
space. It is best t h a t the military
applications be separated from the
scientific and commercial applica­tions
of space technology. The
e s s e n t i a l l y civilian p u r s u i t s of
NASA should not be dominated or
stifled by the military bureaucracy.
However, military and civilian
technology should not be so polar­ized
t h a t t h e pooling of knowledge in
the scientific community be inhi­bited.
This might result in a fiasco
similar to t he one in the early days of
the space race when the launching
of t h e Explorer satellite was delayed
by the lack of cooperation between
the developers of the Navy's Van­guard
rocket and the Army's Red­stone
vehicle.
Temporary use of NASA's shut­tles
by the military is necessary to
m a i n t a i n what a d v a n t a g e s we
might have over the Soviets in
space. But it is equally necessary
t h a t the military acquire its own
space vehicles so t h a t in t h e long run
NASA will not become a puppet of
the Pentagon.
No funding necessary
For the first time in t h e history of
The Auburn Plainsman we will not
be requesting student activity funds
from the SGA this year.
Student activity fees, collected
from students out of each quarter's
t u i t i o n , have helped fund the
Plainsman along with eight other
organizations every year.
This year, however, we feel that
we have been able to generate
enough revenue on our own without
the additional help from student
activity fees.
Unlike many other organizations
we are fortunate to collect enough
revenue from advertising to make
ourselves self-supporting. A lot of
other organizations have a stronger
need for the funds and we feel that
while we have been able to maintain
a strong budget in the past year, the
money should go to organizations
who have a greater need for it now.
The money collected from student
activity fees h a s not been enough for
many organizations to fulfill their
capabilities in recent years and we
hope t h a t by not requesting money
this year they may not be cut as
severely.
Even though we will not be
requesting student funds there will
be no major changes in t h e format or
distribution of the paper. The paper
will still be provided free to students
every Thursday and this will not
cause a reduction in t h e paper's size.
I n other words, there will be no vis­ible
difference to the students.
However, by not requesting funds
and having a budget approved by
the SGA we will be able to have more
freedom to separate our line items
allowing us to purchase equipment
and supplies when the need arises.
This should help us to identify
immediate areas of concern and
work to produce a better product.
Last year, the SGA helped us to
purchase new video display termi­nals
and we do not foresee any
major expenses in the upcoming
years. If in the upcoming years we
do run into financial problems we
may need to ask for student fees
again. But for now we hope to begin
a tradition of being completely
self-supporting.
Policy
Because of recent problems with
submissions of Letters to t he Editor,
we will be working to enforce a stric­ter
method of submission. Letters
are to be typed and double-spaced
and turned in to the editor, Lynne
Hopkir s, or one of the secretaries.
No letters are to be turned in to other
staff members. They should be
brought in a sealed envelope accom­panied
with a valid student by 5 p.m.
Monday.
Recently letters have been lost
and t h e name of a recent author was
released without the letter being
printed. We regret the inconven­ience
and hope such problems will
be eradicated in the future.

How important is 'the act?
"Clearly, there's trouble in paradise."
Or at least that's what Ann Landers
says.
After women have become more open
about their sexual desires, began asking
men out for dates and even began pay­ing
for their dates, Ann now believes
that a more conservative breed of
woman is back.
In her Nov. 4 advice column Ann
posed the question to her women read­ers,
"Would you be content to be held
close and treated tenderly and forget
about 'the act'?" To the surprise of many
newly-liberated women and overly-passionate
men, 72 percent of the
respondees said "yes".
Since that time Ann has sparked a
controversy concerning one of Ameri­ca's
favorite pastimes. Criticism has
now poured in from anybody interested
in sex, from sex therapists who say she
has no right to decide how women really
feel about sex to males who say that Ann
has never cared about their feelings
anyway so why listen to the results.
The question has obviously hit a nerve
with the American public and she has
already received 90,000 responses,
second only to antinuclear letters sent to
President Reagan. It shows you where
our concerns lie.
But at least one person, Mike Royko.a
columnist for the Chicago Tribune,haa
the right idea-take it all with a grain of
salt. In a recent column he posed a ques­tion
to his male readers as feedback for
Ann, "Given a choice, men, would you
rather be having sex with your wife or
out bowling with your buddies?" And
those of us who are keeping up with the
situation are eagerly (or should I say
anxiously) awaiting the results.
But before the subject begins to lose
some of its freshness I also have a few
questions to pose to college students.
"Would you rather have sex or go
through drop and add?", "Would you
rather have sex or eat at War Eagle
Cafeteria?" and of course, "Would you
rather have sex or have a mandatory 8
o'clock class every morning?"
The possibilities are endless.
But whether the results of Ann's
informal survey are accurate, scientific
or if they reflect the real feelings of
Americans one thing is for sure—there is
an awful lack of communication
between couples out there.
While most have become absorbed in
their own problems, their own needs and
their own wants, many people have neg­lected
to take the time to find out hoi
members of the opposite sex feel—bot
men and women.
Little acts of romance such as holdin
hands or calling a week early for a dat
may not seem as important any moi
but even liberated women and mach
men need a little affection sometime.
It is becoming increasingly rare fo
men to bother to send flowers, open th
car door or take a woman out to a nic
dinner and a movie. On a college campu
it is more common for a couple to skip th
pleasantries and go straight to a bar an
start drinking. How romantic.
Many men and women are not comfo
table with some of the stereotypic!
ideas of what a date is supposed to coi
sist of and that's fine as long as the line
of communication are kept open.
If we decide not to communicate effe
tively why not steal a little trick froi
Rush and make nametags with oi
name, age, hometown, year and majc
on it so we can skip the formalties an
get straight to the "act".

Student reading fails to include classics
A great tragedy has found its way
onto college campuses. Students don't
read. What? Students not read? Of
course they read. They read applications
for admissions, restroom signs, text­books
and the personals. It depends on
how one defines the word "read." Read­ing
should take some effort. Some form
of understanding. It involves moving to
a higher plane. As far as I can tell the
above-mentioned incidents of reading
prowess offer none of these actions/re­sults.
Of course, one may say reading
textbooks takes effort. I say, perhaps an
effort to stay awake. But not an effort to
get at a deeper truth.
According to an article in the National
Review by the director of the Committee
on Social Thought at the University of
Chicago, Allan Bloom, books are no
longer an important part of the lives of
students. "Information" is important,
but profound and beautiful books are not
where students go for it. They have no
books that are companionship, inspira­tion
or pleasure. Students do not expect
to find in them sympathy for, or clarifi­cation
of, their innermost desires and
experiences.
Oh, how I agree with Bloom. There is
one book in Ralph Brown Draughon
that I seem to have on permanent check­out,
The Collected Poems by William
Butler Yeats. Friends ask, "Why are you
reading that? Are you an English
major?" Curious looks always follow
when the answer given is simply that I
identify with Yeats' poetry.
The link between the classics and the
young, which persisted for so long, and
is the only means of connecting the here
Jennifer
LINN
and now with the always, has been
broken, according to Bloom. The Bible
and Plutarch no longer make up ih&
architecture of the soul. A loss of fullness
has resulted, an emptiness of which
most students are unaware.
Just what is the evil entity that eve­ryone
blames for this casualty? Televi­sion.
Not only is it blamed for tearing
down the morals of society and advocat­ing
violence, but now the loss of the taste
for reading is blamed on the universal
culprit. While television may be a con­tributing
factor, it is not the only villain.
"The lack of reverence for antiquity
and contempt for tradition are demo­cratic
tendencies," Bloom writes. We
have computers now, why use a typewri­ter?
We have cars, why walk? We have
television, why read? We have welfare,
why work? That's the prevalent attitude
in America today. This attitude per­meates
all of society and finds itself sit­ting
on the doorstep of most school-houses
in America. It should be the the
university's goal to correct these ten­dencies.
Universities are most to blame
for them; they educated the teachers.
Universities of late have been busy
shoveling abstract modern schools of
thought which have supposedly su
passed all earlier thought and renderc
it obsolete. Universities, instead of ed
eating their students, seem to want
socialize them, a job better left to paren
and peers. I'm tired of students going i
college for the sole purpose of landing
"paying" job after graduation. A techr
cal school would suit that purpos
These students are not interested in 77
Poetics and The Rhetorics of Aristotl
Germania by Tacitus, or Sons and Lo
ers by D.H. Lawrence.
The classics are still around, bu
according to Bloom, no one "knowi
that they contain mere opinions, no b
ter than any others. The result is tn
Philistinism, a decaying of taste and
concensus to what is "now" in today
society. The result is a soft imprisoi
ment, where there are no heroes,
objects of aspiration.
"This," Bloom writes, "is what
teacher faces today." The situation
not impossible to overcome; there ha>
been worse malignancies facing societ;
Life is such that there are always pro
lems. But there are always solution
This lack of the desire to read underline
the crisis in learning. But it also rea
firms the need for learning. A natun
curiosity (I do not believe that curiosit
killed the cat—whatever he discovere
killed him) about a better way is th
answer to this dismal situation in un
versities today. A trek over to Ralp
Brown Draughon can alleviate the prol
lem for Auburn; anytime a student coi
fronts a great book, huge leaps are take
toward understanding the huma
condition.
r
Hunting promises many sure adventures
I went deer hunting during the holi­days.
You say, "So what?"
However, some of you did not say, "So
what," because you recognized the rich
potential for great literature in such out­ings.
Volumes of great literature have
sprung from the quiet contemplation of
nature and the hardships of men pitted
against the elements. With this in mind,
one realizes that hunting and camping
trips are veritable recipes for classics. If
Thoreau were alive today, he might
write for Outdoor Life or Field and
Stream.
With your newfound appreciation for
the wellspring of great literature, you
are probably eager that I continue my
story, so I will.
A 24-hour virus had compelled me to
vomit all night before the hunt, but I
knew getting up at 4 a.m., slogging
through a cold, swampy marsh before
dawn and climbing a tree would be the
best cure for my malady.
As we drove into the national forest,
a rabbit had the misfortune of getting a
back-rub by our front tire. "We should
probably go back and get it, since it may
be the only meat we get today," quipped
my father, who sometimes demonstrates
psychic abilities.
I was excited as I stepped into the
tangled vines of the marsh, which
looked like a Club Med for deer. "Surely
one of us will get a shot," I whispered to
my two companions after I fought back
a final dry heave.
We spread out to find climbable trees. I
came upon one with enough low limbs
that it could be climbed without scaffold­ing.
I put the butt of my shotgun in my
coat pocket and strapped the barrel to
my chest with my belt, thus improvising
a sling, and scaled the tree. With my foot
wedged securely in the vise-like Y of the
tree, I tied myself to the trunk with a rope
so I wouldn't fall out into the stagnant
puddles 15 feet below.
The surrounding trees were tinted
gray by the morning mist as the sun
rose. Then, settled at last in my tree and
having finally stopped throwing up, I
began to contemplate the forest in which
I had posted this arboreal vigil, waiting
for Bambi's daddy to drpp by.
First I contemplated how my gun
might shoot me out of the tree if I
dropped it and it landed on the butt.
After about an hour of contemplating
the effects of dropping my gun, a well-hidden,
nearby turkey startled me as it
flew from its roost. I contemplated
shooting at it, but by the time I decided it
was out of season, I would probably miss
and the recoil would knock me out of the
tree, the bird was long-gone anyway.
Next I contemplated the possibility of
a clever buck wearing a hunter's orange
vest to keep from being shot at. This
would work for a while, I decided, until
hunters caught on and began shooting
at every orange vest they saw. The
clever buck could then shed his orange
vest because all the hunters would have
killed each other.
By about 10 a.m., my orange Cossack
hat was beginning to get hot, so I
climbed down and started for the car. As
I limped along on my newly mutate
foot, which had been in the crook of tl
tree for four hours, I heard a dog barl
ing, coming toward me. Great, the do
will drive a buck by me, I thought, bi
then the barking veered off an
subsided.
My companions weren't at the a
when I got there. As I waited, a littl
generic deer-running hound bitch can
out of the woods, wagging her tail as sh
walked wearily toward me as if to sa;
"I'm about tired of this business, aren
you?"
I petted the exhausted dog as my con
panions emerged. A pickup truck with
dog box drove up and a man with a bear
and a Cat hat hopped out.
"Get up here, girl," he told the dof
who hopped in the box.
"She's worn out," he told us. "We'v
been runnin' these dogs in here for thrc
days. Got four deer yesterday." W
shrugged, realizing our early-mornin
ambushes had been futile because all th
deer had fled to Siberia by now.
As we drove out of the nations
forest, we passed about 30 guys space
about 50 yards apart along the roa<
They waited for their dogs to drive a dee
out between them so that any two coul
catch the animal in a cross-fire. The
were so close to each other, they mua
have modeled their tactics after the pre
verbial Polish firing squad.
My brain shifted into its allegorict
mode, and I observed that the men wer
lined up to shoot each other like nation
armed with nuclear weapons.
OK, so it wasn't much of a profoun
observation. You can't expect to com
out with a great work of literature ever,
time you go in the woods. Sometimes, th
most profound thing you can do is jus
stop and pet the dog. ,

Bugs Bunny, Smurfs
show children violence
Cartoon. What does that word conjure
up in your mind? I usually think of
Langdon Hall and free movies or Satur­day
mornings as a kid. I also think of
laughing a lot. But violence is not some­thing
I usually associate with cartoons.
Some people don't agree with me,
though.
Only 27 percent of Walt Disney's car­toons
are fit for children. At least that's
what the National Coalition of Televi­sion
Violence recently reported.
Can you believe that?
You remember Walt. He's that wond­erful
man who devoted much of his life to
making children happy. He's the one
who created Mickey Mouse and the
Mouseketeers, the one who built a fan­tastic
dream world for kids of all ages,
the one who delighted us with Snow
White and Bambi.
And now some coalition against
something is saying that 73 percent of
Walt's brilliant cartoons are not
"appropriate for children." It seems that
these people are a bit upset that Donald
'Duck used clothes pins to keep his
nephews' mouths shut (I guess they con­sider
it child abuse).
Well, listen up, coalition. As long as
you're attacking Walt Disney with vio­lence
charges, why not jump on some of
the other Saturday morning shows?
For example, I saw HeMan for the first
time a few weeks ago. Talk about vio­lence.
There's this wimpy prince and his
cowardly lion that can turn into the
vicious, almost invincible HeMan and
Battlecat at any time. Then they run out
and sling swords and stuff and scare
everyone while they ward off all evil. I'm
glad that show wasn't around when I
was a kid. It would have surely given me
nightmares.
Thundar the Barbarian isn't much
better. This sweet little show takes place
in the future—the wasteland of Earth
after Armageddon. Nice setting for a 10-
year-old, huh? Anyway, there all these
mutants running around stirring up
trouble and Thundar beats them up.
Good for Thundar, but I didn't even
know what Armageddon or mutants
were when I was a child. I guess kids
today are smarter.
Even the Smurfs are violent. Yes,
folks, the lovable, blue, mushroom-dwelling
creatures are violent. Of course
the villian, nasty oF Gargamel, always
starts everything by kidnapping Papa
Smurf or by stealing something, but I
have yet to see a Smurf turn the other
cheek. They always come back in full
force with some devious plan to get back
at what is rightfully theirs.
And how about the cartoons that were
popular when we were younger?
Tweetie and Sylvester got pretty gross
sometimes. I remember Sylvester swal­lowing
that precious little bird once.
Then that precious little bird turned
right around and lit a piece of dynamite
in Sylvester's stomach and blew him
into a few hundred pieces.
Yosemite Sam was awfully mean to
Bugs Bunny, too. He was always chas­ing
him with huge guns and cannons
and dropping bombs into Bugs' rabbit
hole and blowing up his carrots. But
Bugs would get his revenge, usually by
stealing one of Sam's own guns and
shooting holes all through Sam's own
body.
And of course the Roadrunner is defi­nitely
one of television's most violent
shows. It's worse than the A-Team and
Dukes of Hazard all rolled into one big
miniseries. There are more attempted
murder scenes in two minutes of the
Roadrunner than in two hours of a Clint
Eastwood movie. But at least the coyote
never succeeds.
So why should the coalition pick only
on Walt Disney? Why ban just Mickey
Mouse? Let's ban all cartoons! Let's take
away the only shows reserved specifi­cally
for children!
Even if the good guy does always win
in all of these cartoons, we should take
them off the tube. Even if these cartoons
do teach a lesson the kids about the dif­ference
between Good and Evil, we
should get rid of them. Even if these
shows give an optimistic view of defeat­ing
the bad in the world, we should do
away with them. Even if these shows are
some of the few left on television void of
sex or profanity, we should ban them.
And once the kids don't have cartoons
to watch, they can enjoy something
wholesome like Miami Vice or T. J.
Hooker.
Deb life conjures images
of wealth, power, prestige
Rachael
OSMENT
OK, I'll spit it out. I'm a debutante. I
know that some of you don't know what
this is; some of you are impressed; and
some of you couldn't care less. But before
you act hastily or make the wrong
assumptions about the word, let me clear
some things up.
Traditionally a debutante is a girl who
is presented to society after leading a
sheltered life. The purpose of a debu­tante
ball was to introduce the young
woman to eligible bachelors. Today by
the time many women are 20, they have
experienced more than the debutantes of
old would have in their whole lifetime.
Life is definitely no longer sheltered like
it used to be.
Also, the word debutante is associated
with rich upper-crust aristocracy. This
association is not always true. I will cer­tainly
not make the cover of "Life" mag­azine
as Deb of the Year, like Cornelia
Guest, who devotes her life to jetting
around the world spending Daddy's
money. I am a hardworking college stu­dent
devoting my life to studying, pay­ing
the next phone bill and spending
Daddy's money at the Gulf station so I
can get home this weekend.
We debutantes are not that rare. There
are deb balls all over the world. If the deb
is lucky she may be fortunate enough to
be introduced into the society of Bir­mingham,
Ala., or even Vienna, Aus­tria.
I personally would not care too
much to meet an Austrian bachelor with
whom I could not even communicate.
All kidding aside, the debutante tradi­tion
can be fun and somewhat meaning­ful
if taken from the standpoint of what
it really is—a formal ceremony that says
to your parents and friends, "Hey, I've
grown up." Sometimes it takes a public
ceremony to convince these people of
that fact.
I was presented at Christmas. My
daddy, dressed like a penguin, escorted
me through a room of well-wishers and
friends. He was proud, and so was I, but
I'll also have to admit it was a little
funny when a friend turned to my
mother and said, "I don't mean to be
rude, Mrs. Osment, but isn't this a little
like a cattle auction?" This friend was
referring to the part of the presentation
where the debutantes walked up on a
platform without their fathers and
smiled to the audience. I felt like some­one
should hold up some rating numbers
or something. I don't mean to sound like
I despise this whole debutante thing—I
don't. It is an honor to be chosen, the
parties are fun and it gives you a chance
to see a lot of people you haven't seen in a
while. Oh, I forgot to mention that a
debutante will have several parties
thrown in her honor. I think all people
deserve a party after making it to age 20
in today's society.
The debutante balls are not all for the
selfish reason of having a good time
under the guise of honoring young
women. The money made at many of
these functions goes to various charities.
The money made at my presentation
went to support the Birmingham Ballet.
The money from another ball in Bir­mingham
goes to the Birmingham
Museum of Art. By money, I am speak­ing
of the money required for a young
woman to enter a debutante group—a
little reminiscent of the live-stock show­ings
at the fair?
I hope that my parents and the debu­tantes
I know are not upset that I find
some fault with the debutante concept,
but at the Plainsman I am known as the
"token deb." What kind of journalist
radical about something that deep down
inside I really love.
"Okay Daddy, now that I've finally
gone against the establishment, how
about giving me some money to buy a
dress for the deb party next month?" the
red-headed journalist said on the office
phone when she thought no one was
listening.

Parenthood not to be taken lightly
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to address a couple of
comments and many questions to the
fanatical (and I believe, irrational)
minority of the people supporting the
anti-abortion movement. Anti-abortion!
Anti-birth control? Anti-contraception?
Anti-family planning? Anti-sex
education? Anti-sex except to have
children? Right to life! Moral judgment
imposition?
Are those the same people who claim
school prayer will solve all manner of
social ills? Do they want to adopt these
unwanted potential misfits and
maladaptives? Are these the same
people calling for elimination of welfare
Fast food review
should include
look at 'KrystaT
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the article "Students Examine Fast
Food's Best" in last week's Plainsman
Lynne Hopkins and Jennifer Linn
explored some of the fast food
restaurants in Auburn. They made a
serious mistake, though, by omitting
Krystal from their article. This omission
was probably caused by the reputation
that Krystal is a place that just sells
"those little burgers." But there's more-much
more!
The first Krystal opened in my
hometown, Chattanooga, over 50 years
ago, and it is the largest privately
owned restaurant chain in the country.
It was opened to offer its customers
quality, service and cleanliness.
Throughout its 50 years it has done just
that.
The main thrust of the article was to
describe the variety of items on the
menus of the local fast food restaurants.
Contrary to its image, Krystal has a
variety of items equal to, if not better
than, its competitors. In addition to
"those little burgers" Krystal offers a
wide variety of full-sized burgers
including the Big K (with hamburger,
mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce, cheese
bacon and ham). Also available are
chicken strips and chicken sandwiches,
neither of which are just "parts" but are
100 percent boneless breast of chicken.
Another item available at Krystal,
which you won't find at McDonald's,
Burger King, Wendy's or Hardee's, is
fried chicken. Quite a nice diversion
from the regular fare.
.. A,fter working at a Krystal for more
than a year I still enjoy eating there, and
I think it deserves more respect than it
gets. And, besides, where else can you go
at three in the morning after you've had
a few too many and are suffering
through the munchies?

benefits? Are these the same people who
harangue us about the need to clamp
down on street gangs and youthful
offenders? Stop the murdering! Blow up
clinics? Harass already emotionally
traumatized women? Are these the
people who grieve over abused children
and then call for their parents to be
locked away?
I sincerely believe that becoming a
parent is the most difficult, challenging,
important (and potentially rewarding)
endeavor that humans undertake. And
until we as a society do something on a
massive scale to educate our children as
to the ramifications of sex and
parenthood, we shall have to live with
the fact that some people can't, won't
and shouldn't be forced to bear the
awesome responsibility of rearing a
child. Most of the media and the public
seem to have the idea that choice or no
choice to abort are the only options, but
prevention of the need to make that
choice through better decision-making
is the only viable alternative. Therefore,
there is only one "good" alternative to
freedom of choice for women to end that
pregnancy: EDUCATION, which will
take some effort, commitment and long-range
planning, none of which I have
seen on either side except in the name of
moral and emotional fanaticism.
What is choice anyway but the
admission of a mistake?

Columns meant for new ideas
Editor, The Plainsman:
As former associate editor of the
Plainsman, a journalist/writer/poet
and, most importantly, a human being, I
have never felt the need to explain my
beliefs to anyone, mortal or immortal.
They are my beliefs, my words and my
actions. I take full responsibility for
what I do and say.
As an editor at the Plainsman, I wrote
columns that dealt with suicide, abor­tion,
homosexuality (as it pertains to
God) and prostitution. At no time did I
believe everyone would agree with me.
On the contrary, I was sure the majority
of students at Auburn not Only disagreed
vehemently with my views, but also
hated my guts."
Fine. Though it wasn't my intention
to offend, I'm sure that I did. Instead,
what I wanted to do was shock people
into opening their eyes to a different
point bf view. At times I succeeded.
But the point is, I changed my column
each week. I didn't, for an entire
summer, advise people as to their right
to commit suicide. I didn't, for nine
weeks, tell people that prostitution
should be legalized. I said it once and
moved on to other topics. >
This, then, is the basis of my dis­agreement
with Bob Murdaugh's
columns. Almost every week he gets up
on a soapbox and preaches a sermon,
telling us how much we need God in our
lives. That is why I complain.
If religion is to be dealt with on a regu­lar
basis, it should be boxed off and put
in its own section, as sports and enter­tainment
are. The editorial page is no
place for a continuing tirade, religious or
otherwise. The editorial page is a place
for views and opinions, changing each
week as the editors try to open our eyes to
the world around us.

Associate Editor, Summer '84
Duncan letter lacks accuracy, preparation
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to J.W. Duncan's letter in
the Jan. 24, 1985 edition of The
Plainsman. I feel that if Mr. Duncan
wants to publicly air a grievance, then
the least he should do is maintain some
degree of accuracy' in what he has to
say. The figure fo $39 million requested
by the Reagan administration is grossly
misstated and demonstrates the inade­quacy
used by Mr. Duncan in his
preparation.
In the fiscal year 1984, the U.S.
government spent close to $350 million
in both military and aconomic aid for El
Salvador with the greater portion going
toward economic development. Still, the
military of El Salvador was able to dou­ble
its fleet of helicopters, greatly
expand the number of conscripts and
mount numerous sweeps and operations
in the past fiscal year. This can hardly
be accomplished with a "paltry $39
million."
Just for future reference, Mr. Duncan,
Mr. Reagan's newest budget proposal to
Congress calls for a significant increase
in aid to $500 million. This breaks down
to $150 million for the military and $350
million for economic development. With
our government's budget deficit increas­ing
at 14.4 percent, we must question the
wisdom of this increase.
Central America's problems are
incredibly complex. I hope peace will
come to this troubled part of the world. I
feel that in order to accomplish this, we
all need to know more about this area of
the world and that includes Mr. Duncan.
The sloppy research, grossly simplified
solutions and erroneous figures of Mr.
Duncan's article show that the Commu­nists
are not the only people who under­stand
the value of propaganda.

Our dreams are always worth facing any fight
Editor, The Plainsman:
Mr. John Polio, thank you for intro­ducing
us to the already introduced issue
of South Africa in your Jan. 17, 1985
article 'South African racism causes
missed opportunites.' Well just like the!
rest of the media you have informed us of j
the injustice that the blacks are sub­jected
to and how that it is not a matter
of majority rule, but just like in many
other parts of the world, people with cer­tain
skin tone seem to have it instilled in
the depths of their mind that they are
supposed to rule.
Let's go back a few years. There was a
time when blacks lived on a particular
land, the whites lived on a particular
land and let's say for example, the Indi­ans
lived on a particular land. How
harmonized that seemed to have been.
But wait! Someone came up with the
idea of forcing the Blacks from their
land and taking them to a land that the
whites actually, literally, selfishy, de-humanizingly
took from a race of people.
Today the whites or colourds, as you
put it, are doing the same thing they did
some years ago. However, now they
have chosen to use more tact. Instead of
the blacks in Africa wearing threads of
clothing, the whites have dressed them
in white apparel. They are not beaten
with whips, but are shot to death and
guess what they even have some land.
Mr. Polio, this is my question...What
does the white man want? Give him
riches, glory, fame, wealth, land, houses
and he's not satisfied. Add to all that the
rule over another man's life and you
may get him to smile in satisfaction. I
remember hearing a martyr say once, "I
have a Dream..." Well there are millions
and billions of others who share a sim-
:•• ' •., •. ••:,• •• , " •-•'•' • :'^^.;r, ! ' " ' f e ' -"
ilar dream and yes we are still dreaming.
If I shall die this day, that dream will be
carried on. No one man can achieve it
all, but as I remember the marks that
one man made simply by dreaming that
it can be—let me know that if we can
dream It, We can achieve It. Anything
that is to be achieved must first be
worked at being achieved! I thank God
for the work that has been done! I agree
with the writer who said the work is not
finished. The work I say is not finished!
You nor I may be around to see it all
happen. But just as some people work
their all in all to gain what they can,
never considering who they hurt or des­troy,
there are many people (including
me) who will do what they have to do for
the dream that lives on!

Psychology research more than mazes
Allen Turnage
News Staff
The main thrust of psychologi­cal
research seems to be under­standing
the human mind.
Understanding how the physical
brain functions, how our person­ality
is formed, how we learn and
how major and minor irregulari­ties
in our psychological makeup
can be corrected. And if you think
that all of that research is done
with rats and mazes, you are
dead wrong for the most part.
Some research is done on
animals, of course. Dr. Charles
Rogers' research into how the
brain is organized involves show­ing
monkeys a shape (visual
mode) and having them decide if
that is they same shape that they
hold but can't see (tactile mode).
Most of the current research
being conducted by the psychol­ogy
department centers on per­sonality
shaping and behavior
modification. Br. Barry Burk-hart's
main research area is sex­ual
violence: how often it
happens, what beliefs and behav­ior
styles help predict it and
what types of education will help
prevent it.
Using interviews and questi­onnaires,
Burkhart found that
40-50 percent of females studied
r e p o r t e d a t t e m p t e d non-consentual
intercourse.
Burkhart is also studying
alcohol use among college stu­dents.
He is attempting to dis­cover
when social drinking
becomes escape-avoidance drink­ing,
which is characterized by
heavier drinking more often and
a negative feedback cycle which
sometimes leads to alcoholism.
Dr. Len Doerfler is studying
addictive behaviors, especially
cigarette smoking, trying to dis­cover
how people quit succes-fully.
In this research he uses
people who are trying to quit
smoking, making them write
down every urge they have for a
cigarette and how they overcome
it.
In a somewhat related field, Dr.
Annette Stanton is studying peo­ple
with eating disorders such as
bulimia, and how they quit.
Stanton is also studying people
on medical regimens such as
high blood pressure medicine and
how well they adhere to them, in
an effort to develop more effective
strategies to keep them on their
regimens.
In research being conducted in
conjunction with East Alabama
Services for the Elderly, Dr.
Laverne Irvine is studying how
the elderly meet their physical
and social needs. Irvine is trying
to ascertain how community
resources can best serve the
elderly, how elderly people can
best assist themselves in attain­ing
a satisfying lifestyle, and
orienting people such as staff and
family members in these
directions.
Intervention of another sort is
under study by Dr. James;
McCoy. McCoy is studying pre­schoolers
by observation and
interviews, finding out first who"
the children like and don't like to.
play with. A high negative rating
may be an indicator of later emo­tional
problems, and the goal of
McCoy's research is the devel-.
opment of effective intervention.
strategies.
One problem in an abstract
field such as psychology is that
events and findings must be des­cribed
with language, and words
have differing connotations to
different people. This area has
been the subject of much research
and writing by Dr. Peter Harzem,
who says that the subtleties of
connotation often lead to dis­agreement
among researchers.
This report is by no means
comprehensive. It should give an
idea of the types of questions the
researchers are asking and how
they are being answered.

Construction closes
streets temporarily
Roosevelt Street in front of
Parker Hall and Varsity Drive
behind the ROTC building and
Sports Arena will be closed this
week due to construction on cam­pus,
said Kathy Love from Build­ing
and Grounds.
Roosevelt will be closed at the
end of this week and will remain
closed until next week. Students
who normally drive in this area
will have to take an alternate
route during the next week.
Varsity Drive will also be
closed this week and next. Love
said that people may still enter
the parking area there, but will
have to leave the same way they
entered instead of driving all the
way through.
The streets have been closed
because of construction that
recently began on an under­ground
electrical distribution
system to be put in around cam­pus.
Don Seay, director of Build­ing
and Grounds, said that this
new system will make electric
service more efficient and even­tually
less expensive for the
University.
Editor's note: This section will
appear weekly in the Plainsman
to make students aware of
upcoming construction on cam­pus
and to warn them of any
streets or parking lots that may
be temporarily closed.

princes and princesses, and it's
fun to pretend to be a part of it all
for a while."
The Auburn SCA is in the
kingdom (region) of Meridies
which consists of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Ten­nessee.
Each kingdom has a king
and a queen who serve as admin­istrators,
but they are not elected;
instead they must earn their
nobility through service to the
society. The national SCA has
about 10,000 members and
Auburn's chapter has 45.
Kane says she feels today's
world lacks a certain grandeur,
and if a person tries to make
things seem grand, he is often
ridiculed.
Within the society, says Kane,
a person can have the best of both
worlds. It's the anachronism of
having the chivalry and roman­ticism
along with today's equal­ity
and technology.
Grewelle, striving to be dubbed
knight, constructed with drain
disks from sinks a replica of a
bjrigandine, the armor which pro­tects
the chest and back. "I know
someone who works at a sink
company, and he gave me about
2,000 of those things, and this is
what I decided to do with them,"
he said.
continued from A-l
The brigandine, which weighs
about 30 poundf, has hundreds of
metal disks individually att­ached
and they are all covered by
two sheets of leather.
The armor constructed by SCA
members is used as protection in
the SCA's sport, which is fight­ing.
It entails one to one combat
as well as team warfare. The
weapons used are made of
bamboo-like wood and are
wrapped in duck tape and foam.
The weapons are constructed
so the blow is distributed through
the entire body, thus avoiding
breaking bones.
"It is competition and physical
activity, with referees. We don't
want to beat and hurt people.
There is a lot of skill and strategy
to fighting. And it's safer than
any other sport I've every partic­ipated
in," said Doug Wilson,
whose SCA name is Ferris
Whitewolf.

Here's the pitch: Recruiting reaches final stage
TOP FIND
Freddie Weygand was heralded recruit
By Paul Sullivan
Sports Editor
With the Feb. 13 football signing date less than
two weeks away, final pitches are being made by
the Auburn coaching staff as it combs the Sou­theast
for football talent.
The impact of an exceptional or average recruit­ing
effort will be felt for years making the waning
weeks of college recruiting more hectic than the
actual football season for coaching staffs.
"It will be eight days a week and full time day and
night," Auburn defensive coordinator Frank Orgel
said. "We'll get commitments although you've got
to keep working on commitments."
Truly anything goes as schools maneuver to land
top high school seniors.
"Players' statuses change daily and negative
recruiting hurts more than anything," Orgel said.
"Kids don't know what to believe and all schools
paint a pretty picture.
"They tell kids they can't play at Auburn, but
normally those schools haven't got enough good to
say about themselves."
When the issue is recruiting, Auburn's crop will
forever be compared with Alabama's. The Crimson
Tide vaulted to an early lead in the recruiting war,
but Auburn appears to have pulled even or ahead of
Ray Perkins and his staff.
Auburn's three latest verbal commitments have
given Coach Pat Dye and his staff 10 commitments
as of Monday.
Quarterback-wide receiver Gary Dorsey, who was
sought by most colleges as a defensive back, has
announced his intentions to play on the Plains.
The 6-1,185 pounder has 4.5 speed in the 40 and
was rated as one of the top athletes in the state this
year.
He opted for Auburn over Georgia Tech, Alabama
and Rice.
Auburn's ninth commitment came from Terrence
Humphrey, brother of former Auburn All-SEC def­ensive
lineman and present Green Bay Packer
Donnie Humphrey.
The 6-6, pound Johnson of Huntsville tight end-defensive
end snagged 16 passes for 244 yards and
three TDs this season.
The football and basketball standout (averages
20 points a game) chose Auburn over Clemson, Ole
Miss and Mississippi State.
Auburn has also apparently won the services of
one of Georgia's top lineman in Dodge County High
School's Benji Roland.
The 6-3,265-lb. Roland collected 80 solo tackles and
50 assists as a defensive tackle his senior season.
Roland has 5.0 speed in the 40 and committed to
Auburn after considering Georgia and the Tigers.

Shortage of stars
causes lackluster
matchups in SEC
If you've been following the futile progression of
this season's SEC basketball race closely and get
the feeling something is missing, then you've hit a
familiar chord among SEC basketball fans.
Where are the replacements for the great teams
and the exciting players you just loved to watch and
cheer against, but also feared and admired?
The mighty and hated teams like Kentucky, LSU
and Tennessee don't have the caliber of players
these conference powers had in the past.
The void left by All-SEC and All-American per­formers
like Dale Ellis, Rudy Macklin, Sam Bowie,
Kyle Macy, Domonique Wilkins and Jeff Malone
simply isn't being filled by the league's present
stock of performers.
Without an abundance of classic talent, the SEC,
is now in the midst of what experts have aptly
labeled as a mediocre season.
How mediocre?
Well, no SEC teams operate out of anybody's top
20 and rightfully so. Only LSU has a legitimate
shot at the elite 20 of college basketball as the
Bayou Bengals are No. 21 in USA Today's Top 25.
Also if the SEC was measured top to bottom, or
any other sporty fashion, against the Big East, Big
Ten, ACC, and Metro Seven conferences, the SEC
would fail embarrassingly to match up close to
even.
All the league's ineptness results from the overall
lack of stars.
Not a single team in the league sports more than
one star and only a handful enjoy the services of a
premier talent.
Auburn's Chuck Person and Kentucky's Kenny
Walker are the conference's top players.
Florida's Eugene McDowell is fast becoming a
game-dominating force while Alabama's Buck
Johnson and Bobby Lee Hurt are losing time in
attaining outstanding status.
As a team, LSU comes closest to being an outfit
capable of slugging its way to the Final Four. The
Bengal Tigers still don't have a player you can
point to as a Charles Barkley-type game controller.
Even the sorry teams of years past had at least
one future NBA player.
Mississippi State's Malone suffered through sev­eral
seasons with the Bulldogs before entering the
NBA.
Mississippi's Carlos Clark fought his way
through many a miserable campaign with the Reb­els
before going on to play reserve guard for the
Celtics.
Georgia floundered around while Wilkins
jammed at Athens. A year after the Atlanta Hawk
departed the Dawg basketball arena, Hugh Dur­ham's
pups won the SEC tourney and enjoyed a
Final Four appearance.
So what are the reasons for the current demise of
SEC basketball?
First glance reveals two squads which were dev-estated
by the premature departure of their stars.
Barkley's pro calling took Auburn from a Final
Four threat to an apparent SEC also-ran.
Ennis Whately, who would be a senior this year
and one of the nation's top college guards, left Wimp
Sanderson's Bama squad which would also be a
Final Four contender.
The rise of the Sun Belt Conference has also put a
major dent in the wealth of talent in the SEC.
Teams like UAB, South Alabama, and Virginia
Commonwealth have siphoned off several elite
players who would be showcasing their ability in
the SEC.
The slower and less exciting style of play in the
league compared with the ACC or Metro Seven has
hurt the league's recruiting.
High-powered prep stars want fast-paced contests
similar to the Big East encounters you can see on
television throughout the week.
Zone defenses, halfcourt offenses and 20-foot
jumpers are the rule in the SEC which has earned a
reputation for slow play.
The conference's coaches set the tempo of their
teams' play and should be saddled with the blame
for the boring and predictable action.
Also, attendance has been dealt a blow because of
an absence of crowd-pleasing players. Fewer fans
are going to show for a game when they haven't
heard any of the opposition's players.
However, the ebb and flow of recruiting could
result in the SEC becoming the nation's top league
in three or four years. But for now, the lower depths
of play have been discovered by the SEC.
Banging the boards for Auburn
Moore finds league veterans
dislike Tiger youth movement
BATTLE S T A T I O N S Photography: J.y Sailor*
Moore comes down with rebound against Ole Miss
Holland provides Tigers
with potent relief punch
By JeffStumb
Sports Staff
Jeff Moore is probably not the first
Auburn basketball player thought about
by fans in the SEC or here at Auburn.
Being a freshman center in one of the
toughest conferences in the nation pres­ents
some problems, and earning respect
from the players and fans is one of them.
Players don't become stars over night
in the SEC, but Moore is on his way to
being one.
Moore starts as a freshman for Coach
Sonny Smith and has been a pleasant
surprise on Auburn's young team.
Moore has had some big shoes to fill
replacing Charles Barkley in the line-up.
When Moore came to Auburn, Smith
thought Moore would be a forward
because he shoots so well.
"I've learned a lot, but I still have a lot
more to learn," Moore said.
Moore said that he has improved most
on defense because he plays against qual­ity
players every night.
Moore, a 6-7 product of Midfield High
School in Birmingham, said that a big
adjustment he had to make was playing
in front of the hostile fans on the road.
"You can not let it bother you," Moore
said. Auburn, however, has lost all four
SEC road games as of Saturday night to
LSU.
Moore was "Mr. Basketball" in Ala­bama
last year as a senior, but he said he
learns from older more experienced play­ers
on the team.
"I learn something playing against
Carey Holland everyday," Moore said.
Holland is a senior center with a lot of
experience on defense, Moore said.
"He peps you up," Moore said of Hol­land's
attitude before a game. "He's not
starting, but he wants you to do good."
Moore said that Auburn has been in
every game it has lost, but sometimes he
said the team just can not hit a basket.
"We've got a young team, but it's a good
team," Moore said of the 11-6 Tigers.
Moore said the season is not over for
Auburn. The Tiger's SEC mark is 3-5, but
they still have 10 games left.
"We have to win on the road." Moore
See MOORE, B- 8
By Chris Roush
Sports Staff
While most of the players on
the Auburn basketball team will
be able to play four years on the
Plains, some are not so fortunate.
Carey Holland does not regret
playing two years for San
Jacinto Junior College in Texas.
He believes the junior college
experience helped him a lot. He
was able to gain the experience
he felt he needed in basketball
and in school.
Holland wanted to go to junior
college because he would have
had to sit out a year if he'd gone to
a major college.
"I didn't have a C average com­ing
out of high school, so rather
than going to a major college and
sitting out a year I went to a jun­ior
college," Holland said.
The 6-7 senior had signed a let­ter
of intent in high school to play
basketball for LSU. But when he
got out of junior college, he
decided on Auburn. "I had a lot of
choices and I saw they were
rebuilding and thought this
would be a good place," Holland
said,
After two years at San Jacinto,
Holland now has the ability to
come off the bench and provide
instant offense. During his last
year there, the team won the
NJCAA championship with a 35-
2 record.
During his last year Holland
averaged 14.9 points and 9.6
rebounds and led the nation in
field goal percentage with 68
percent.
Holland displayed this instant
offense almost immediately after
arriving at Auburn last year. He
had 10 points in only 14 minutes
against Florida State and had six
points and 12 rebounds against
UAB in only 12 minutes.
Holland credits his success of
last year to practicing against
Charles Barkley.
"He showed me that I needed to
get stronger and he made me arch
my shot because he could jump so
high," Holland said. Holland
continued his excellent shooting
from the field by averaging 56
percent last season.
With the loss of Barkley and
Greg Turner last year, Holland
sees a major difference in this
year's team. "We are much
younger and the younger guys
don't know their roles yet," Hol­land
said. "I think last year's
team knew each other better."
Holland tries to help the
younger players out this year
because he is the only senior on
the team. "I try to tell them to
stay together and have confi­dence
in each other."
Holland particularly works
with Jeff Moore in practice trying

Kentucky contest crucial for erratic Tigers
By Paul Sullivan
Sports Editor
Auburn Coach Sonny Smith is calling Saturday's
home bout with Kentucky a "must win" for the
Tigers if they are to remain in the SEC race.
"The game should be a battle of two teams with
similar problems of youthful and erratic play,"
Smith said. "Both teams appear to have a talented
group of people who might play well on any night."
Depending on the outcome of last night's Com­modore
clash, the Tigers (11-6,3-5) will either be tied
for eighth with Kentucky at 4-5, or have sole owner­ship
of the spot at 3-6.
The seventh-place Wildcats (4-4,9-8) will host
LSU tonight and will be attempting to snap a three-game
SEC losing streak.
After tangling with the Wildcats in a 1 p.m.
nationally televised contest, Smith will take his
team to Gainesville, Fla., for a Wednesday night
date with the Florida Gators (12-4,5-3).
Both Kentucky and Florida are largely unaccus­tomed
to their fortunes on the basketball court thus
far in the '84-85 campaign.
Joe B. Hall's once powerful Wildcats are clawing
to stay above .500 while Norm Sloan's Gators are
looking toward their second consecutive post­season
tournament bid.
Auburn could be awarded the opportunity to put
Hall's crew under .500 Saturday on NBC-TV if the
Wildcats lose to LSU tonight.
"Kentucky is struggling, but they are very rugged
along the front line," Smith said. "We didn't handle
all the banging around in our first meeting and it
will be interesting to see how our players handle the
physical play this time around."
If the Tigers are to notch consecutive home victo­ries
over Kentucky, Auburn's defense must find a
way to halt the SEC leading scorer Kenny Walker.
"Walker is a very consistent player and a great
scorer inside," Smith said. "Their whole offense is
built around Walker and in order to beat them you
must stop him."
Point guard Roger Harden orchestrates the Wild­cat
attack and the 6-1 junior is a former Indiana Mr.
Basketball.
Forward Winston Bennett (former Kentucky Mr.
Basketball) has assumed a large share of the inside
duties left by the departure of NBA players Sam
Bowie and Melvin Turpin.
Bennett (6-6) is Kentucky's third leading scorer
with 7.8 points per game behind guard James

Holds world record for a hour
Brooks leads mile relay team to world mark
i
By Charles Davidson
Sports Staff
They say records are made to
be broken, and this was nevei
more true than at the East Ten­nessee
Invitational Track Meet
Jan. 18-19, where the Auburn
mile relay team shattered the
world indoor mark, only to have
its time bettered an hour later.
Calvin Brooks, the Tigers'
anchor in the record-setting race,
said the team wasn't thinking of
a world record before, during or
even after the event.
"We joked around about setting
a world record," Brooks said.
"Going in, we just wanted to
qualify for the NCAA meet,"
Brooks said.
Auburn Coach Mel Rosen said
he didn't dream of a world record
from his relay unit, "It amazed
me that they ran that fast," he
said.
Brooks was not aware of the
record while running, "I had no
idea we were close to a world
record," he said.
Even after the Tiger sprinters
finished their best-ever race, meet
officials delayed announcing the
Brooks
official time. "When we were get­ting
ready to receive our award
they told us," Brooks said. "After
accepting their medals the team
of Brooks, Kevin Henderson,
Steve Griffiths and Bruce Hardy
took a ceremonial victory lap.
The Tiger foursome then
watched from the stands as its
record was toppled an hour later
by Villanova. "The stadium clock
was the same as our time, we
knew it would be close," Brooks
recalled. ,
The official clocking shaved .22
seconds off Auburn's record. "We
ran a 3:08.23 and they ran 3:08.01
and one thing I think helped
them was that they had competi­tion
all the way," Brooks said.
"After the first leg we were by
ourselves. We won by 20 to 30
meters."
Upon learning that their record
had been broken, Brooks and his
teammates took a positive view of
the situation. "We weren't upset,"
the two-time Ail-American said.
"It gives us something to shoot
for."
Personal goals take a back seat
to team objectives with Brooks.
"Team player,"among the most
trite phrases in sports, genuinely
applies to Brooks, who would
rather discuss Auburn's distance
runners or the team's SEC title:
hopes than his own accomplish­ments.
One area of the squad Brooks
sees marked improvement in is
attitude.
"Team spirit is high this year,"
the Phenix City senior said.
"That's important and it hasn't
been there in the past. The team,
as' a whole, is coming together
which is just as important as
breaking a world record, because
that's what it'll take to win the
SEC."
As for the team's distance men,
Brboksi said, "Without them,
well, we'd have a team, but not a
real good team. They'll really
help us going into the SEC meet."
Listing Tennessee as the team
to beat, Brooks says the Tigers
have a legitimate shot at the con­ference
crown. "We stack up with
Tennessee; they'll have their
hands full," Brooks said.
. Brooks, Auburn's Track Ath­lete
of the Year last season, is
described by Rosen as "one of the
best relay runners I've ever
coached or seen."
Rosen says with more confi­dence
and slight improvement on
his start, Brooks can achieve
greatness in the 400 meters. "If
he only believed how good he
could be, he could be one of the
best in the nation, one of the best
in the world," the 22-year Auburn
coach said.
Brooks won the conference title
in the 400 outdoor last year and
made the Olympic Trials in that \
event as well as the 200 meters. !
He said he hopes to participate .
in the 1988 Games, but his imme- f
diate goals include an SEC
team and mile relay champion- j
ship and the national mile relay
title.
The Tigers travel to Gaines- I
ville this weekend for a four-way 4
meet with Florida, Florida State *:
and Penn State, in which Brooks i
will run his first 400 of the ^
season.

Tigers rip Ole Miss, fall prey to LSU
By Chris Linville
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn basketball team
found itself on both ends of blow­out
games last week, trouncing
Ole Miss at home last Thursday
before being dumped by LSU at
Baton Rouge on Saturday night.
Against Ole Miss, it was show­time
for Chris Morris as the
freshman from Atlanta poured in
a total of "2$ points on 12-16 shoot­ing
froto»the field, as the Tigers
whipped the Rebels 93-73.
The outcome was never in
doubt after Auburn scored the
first eight points of the game and
later extended its margin to 41-
14. At the half, Auburn led by a
comfortable 50-28 count.
The second half brought no
relief for the Rebels. A slam dunk
and back-to-back lay ups by Mor­ris
extended the Tigers lead to 32
points, 84-52, with 6:02 left in the
contest. It was their biggest lead
of the night.
Auburn Coach Sonny Smith
then went to his bench and Ole
Miss was able to cut the final
margin*to 20 points.
In addition to Morris, other
high scorers for the Tigers
included Chuck Person, who col­lected
24 points, including 19 in
the first half, and center Jeff
Moore, who added 16 points and a
game high of 12 rebounds.
For Ole Miss, Eric Laird fin­ished
with a team and game high
total of 31 points, followed by
Curtis Ritchwood with 22.
Smith was pleased with the
Auburn effort.
"I think the first half was as
good as we've played all season
long," Smith said. "You couldn't
play much better than Chuck
Person played in the first half. I
thought Chris Morris did some
good things tonight, and Frank
Ford was the same steady player
that he is every game.
"The game came down to us
having a super start and Ole Miss
not playing so well early."
Auburn traveled to LSU on
Saturday night hoping for a win
that would even its SEC record at
4-4 and keep them from falling
too far behind the conference
leaders.
In the first half, Auburn
attacked LSU with a patient
offensive attack and strong def­ensive
pressure, helping the Tig­ers
to a 24-19 lead with 4:36 left in
the half.
However, Auburn would not
score for the rest of the half as the
Bengal Tigers stormed back for a
27-24 lead.
Auburn continued to have
trouble in the second half, falling
behind by as many as 23 points,
67-44, with 4:18 left after John
Williams hit a jump shot for the
Bengal Tigers. The game ended
with LSU on top, 80-62.
Smith said the Tigers have
been a one half team this season
and added that careless play,
along with the lack of an inside
scoring game, a problem all sea­son,
have hampered the Tigers.
"We played well for the first 15
minutes at LSU," Smith said.
"We simply fell apart in the
second half."
"At LSU, we got the ball inside
but the shots just wouldn't fall,"
Smith said. "To be successful we
must balance the inside game
with the outside game and if we
don't develop some inside scor­ing,
we'll continue to live and die
with the jump shot."
"We have been too careless
with the basketball," said Smith.
"Our turnovers have been killing
us. Our shot selection has
improved. We took only two ques­tionable
shots against LSU, but
our execution must get better."
LSU, Nikita Wilson and Don
Redden were the high scorers
with 16 points each. Jerry "Ice"
Reynolds, Derrick Taylor and
John Williams chipped in 10
apiece.
For Auburn, Person was the
high scorer with 21 points. Moore
was second with 12 points. Mor­ris
had a game and career high of
14 rebounds, along with 10
points.
For the game, Auburn shot
only 36.6 percent (26 of 71),
including a 12 of 38 performance
in the first half (31.6 percent).
With the loss, the Tigers fell to
3-5 in the SEC and 11-6 overall.
The Bengal Tigers improved at
7-3 in the conference and 13-4
overall.

Lady Tigers come up with crucial LSU win
By Chuck Cole
Assistant Sports Editor
.' After easily defeating an over
matched Alabama State team on
tfan. 23, the lOth-ranked Auburn
Lady Tigers improved their
record to 17-2 with an important
conference road win against LSU
Saturday night.
- The 98-53 romp over Alabama
State was much needed, accord­ing
to Coach Joe Ciampi.
"We used different combina­tions
of players," Ciampi said. "It
will help us down the road and it
helped us against LSU."
Brenda Hill had 21 points and
12 rebounds in the Alabama
State victory.
;'The LSU win was more valua­ble
and harder to achieve. The
game was hotly contested
throughout, but Auburn man­aged
to improve its Western Div­ision
SEC record to 3-1 with a 79-
75 win.
"-Not surprisingly, Ciampi was
pleased with the outcome. He
said the Lady Tigers' primary
objective was to shut off LSU's
tough inside game.
I "We had to control the boards
and be in a position to create six
to eight transition baskets,"
Ciampi said. "We did both. We
out-rebounded them by 11 and
also cut off their leading scorer."
"Auburn led by only one point at
halftime and held on for the win,
shooting a blistering 53 percent
from the field and snagging 35
rebounds, in comparison to 24 for
the taller opposition.
Brenda Hill fouled out after
scoring 26 points and grabbing
11 rebounds. Hill appears to be
asserting herself as an inside
force for the Lady Tigers. This is
good news for Auburn fans.
"She can make us a very good
club," Ciampi said of Hill. "She
has realized that if she does
things fundamentally and uses
her quickness, she will be
successful."
Hill received solid support from
several of her teammates. Debra
Larkin scored 14 points and
Patty Dages had 10. Sophomore
point guard Helene Baroody
played a typically tremendous
game, scoring 14 points and pro­viding
floor leadership.
Ciampi was generous in his
praise of Baroody, saying there is
"no one in the country any bet­ter.
She should be an Ail-
American before she
