Student uninjured
in crash-landing

GPG, and his girlfriend Renee
P a t t e r s o n of Newnan, Ga.
escaped serious injury Sunday
when Thompson's plane crash-landed
in West Point Lake.
Thompson, who has been fly­ing
for two years, said he was
flying Patterson home to New-nan
Sunday evening when the
automatic pilot apparatus on
his single engine Piper Warrior
airplane apparently failed.
"I had no control," he said.
"Me and my girlfriend both
knew we were going to have to
ditch in the water."
He said when he knew he was
going to have to crash-land, he
aimed for the lake rather than
crashing on Highway 109. Then
he noticed some fishing boats in
the water and pulled up the nose
of the plane to go over the boats.
"I'd rather just kill myself
than kill anybody else," he said.
When he pulled the nose of the
plane up, it stalled (the plane
was going too slow for the wings
to fly anymore) and nearly
crashed into a bridge. He then
gave the plane full power with
the nose of the plane down and
avoided the bridge but the right
wing tip hit the water.
"We did about a dozen cart­wheels
before we stopped,"
Thompson said. "Pieces of the
plane were flying everywhere."
He said by the time he and
Patterson climbed out of the
plane, it was already waist deep
in the water.
Thompson said divers who
went down to mark the place
with buoys do not recommend
anyone else trying to go down to
remove the plane because it is
entangled in tree branches.
"It's up to the insurance com­pany
now," to decide whether to
remove the plane from the lake,
Thompson said.

Center already filled for Fall
By Lana Middleton
Staff Writer
University President James E.
Martin said the Auburn Univer­sity
Hotel and Conference Center
"is going to permit us to do things
we've never done before," and
t h a i it has attracted opportuni­ties
even before its grand open­ing,
scheduled Sept. 30.
Martin said the National
Asphalt Pavement Association
probably would not have chosen
Auburn as its center or for a $10
million endowment had the con­ference
center not been a campus
feature.
The Board of Trustees gave a
50-year ground lease to the con­ference
c e n t e r ' s constructors,
Algernon Blair Group of Mont­gomery,
for the property across
f r om the Ralph D r a u g h on
Library on College Street. Under
the ground lease, University
property is lent to the contrac­tors,
who finance the building
costs. The building will be
released back to the University
after 50 years when profits from
the center are expected to have
paid for building costs.
"There were a lot of studies
done, a lot of feasibility studies,
and marketing studies done,"
when Auburn was being consi­dered
as the location, said Sandy
Davidson, the center's sales and
marketing director.
"The numbers were plugged in,
and the numbers came out that,
yes, the ability was here to make
a profit," Davidson said.
Gov. Guy Hunt will cut the rib­bon"
at the $20 million cehter's
g r a n d o p e n i n g c e r e m o n i e s,
which will unfold the seminar,
conference, meeting and work­shop
facilities.
Davidson said the center has
about 130 programs booked in the
next 18 months and is expecting
more than 31,000 people.
'We've got every­thing
under one
roof that you
need...'

Davidson
Davidson said all the rooms are
reserved for the home football
games except for the few left for
the Akron and Kansas games.
"We've got everything under
one roof that you need: the guest
rooms, the restaurant, the gift
shop, conference centers..."
Davidson said.
"We knew the project was
going to take a very strong com­pany
financially to put this
together, to build it, and then to
provide the University with a
major portion of the investment
to operate," Martin said.
"The University will be ppe.rat-i

portion of the facility," Martin
said.
The hotel portion will be man­aged
by Algernon Blair Group.

leadership workshop, with all 67

her department is using the cen­ter
"because there's times when
there is not any where on campus
to hold courses."
Martin said that meetings were
formerly held in Foy Union,
which he would like to see
reserved for students, and that
people coming in for meetings
stayed at the Best Western.
"If you have a course underway
in which the students need to util­ize
the facilities of the Space
Power Institute or one of the
laboratories in the College of

you've got the problem of coming

said.
Students work with Paris designer in Atlanta
By Sarah Hicks
Assistant News Editor
Twenty six students from
Auburn went to Atlanta last Fri­day,
but it wasn't the average
road trip.
They went to help one of Paris'
outstanding designers, Patrick
Kelly, with his Fall 1988 presen­tation
at the Atlanta Apparel
Mart. The result was one of the
best-received shows ever staged
at the Mart.
Kelly presented his American
premiere to benefit Heart Strings,
a non-profit organization that
raises money and awareness
within the community for AIDS
patients. The Portman Compan­ies
of Atlanta co-sponsored the
show called "Fashion Salute to
Heart Strings." All the funds
raised this year will be matched
by the Ford Foundation.
The students were specifically
invited by the directors to help in
the Atlanta event. There are
many fashion merchandising
schools in the city, but they were
not extended the invitation.
"This is such a compliment to the
'We were all so happy to be invited to this
event when other, more prominent
Atlanta schools were not.'
— Gary Trentham
department," said Gary Tren­tham,
a consumer affairs profes­sor
who works with the fashion
merchandising majors at Au­burn.
The students set the show up,
worked behind the stage, dressed
the models and were involved in
almost every facet of the show.
They worked directly with Kelly
who was "very appreciative of
a n y t h i n g you did for him,"
according to Vanessa Hollings-worth,
04FM, one of the students.
Once Kelly arrived, the stu­dents
worked with former Ebony
fashion editor Audrey Smaltz,
who coordinates Kelly's Paris
shows..
"Now some of the excitement
has died down, but that was a
great experience," Hollingsworth
said.
Hollingsworth was one of three
students who worked during the
show and also arrived in Atlanta
two days prior to the show to pre­pare
the stage for Kelly.
Amy Stewart, 04FM, worked
with Kelly's favorite model,
Janet. Kelly refers to Janet as his
daughter, though the star model
is not related, according to the
students. Stewart had previous
experience with models at the
Mart, but said it was a terrific
experience to work with one of the
four models Kelly brought from
Paris.
"This was a lot of fun, and the
benefit comes from having this
kind of experience with a famous
designer like Patrick Kelly. It
looks great on a resume," Stewart
said.
Other students work up at the
Mart every quarter as part of a
class requirement. They must
work in a show to gain
experience.
All the students involved des­cribed
Kelly's style, and the man
himself, as " p l a y f u l . " Time
magazine described his clothes
as "fitted, funny and a little
goofy. They have the spirit of
sportswear designed with both a
high-fashion sensibility and a
sensitivity to price."
Knowledge of Kelly's back­ground
helps in understanding
his style. Born and raised in
Vicksburg, Miss., Kelly includes
Southern accents in most of his
work. He was influenced by his
mother who taught home eco­nomics.
Some of his trademarks
include buttons, bows and teddy
bears which lend a schoolboy
charm to his clothes.

Group to protest parole
A support group for crime victims is trying to prevent the
parole of a Lee County man convicted of murder, claiming his
parole would violate state law.
Victims of Crime and Leniency (VOCAL) and Danny Daniel,
"son of the murder victim Oscar Daniel, claim that paroling
Tommy Bras well would violate an Alabama law that states
• t h a t a person can be paroled only if "there is reasonable doubt
t h a t . . . he will live and remain at liberty without violating the
law." The group bases its claim on the fact t h a t Braswell has
' been convicted of attempted escape three times while in prison,
and after being paroled in 1985, was convicted of third-degree
assault.
Braswell is eligible for parole Aug. 22.

Rains bring short-term relief to crops
By Leslie H a r r is
Staff Writer
The recent rainfall in Alabama
has "greatly relieved drought
stress" in the fruit industry, but it
is unlikely to affect the long-term
drought situations in recrea­tional
water areas this year, said
"The fruit industry
has been helped
tremendously,especial-ly
the peach crop."
— Arlie Powell
Arlie A. Powell, extension
horticulturist-fruits through the
cooperative service of Auburn
University.
Pastures, forage (animal feed)
and peanut crops have benefited
and improved the most, while the
,rain came too late to help the qprn .
crops, said Dr. John B." Hender­son,
extension agronomist. "The
peanuts look almost like a nor­mal
crop." The growth of the soy­beans
already planted has also
improved, he said.
"Some areas unfortunately
haven't had enough rain," Hend­erson
said. "In north Alabama
the rain has not been as heavy
but has helped some."
"This area.has.received consid­erable
rainfall from early July, in
excess of 10 inches," Powell said.
- "It-makes yon-noi think, drought.
But we have not recovered fully.
We are still 6-9 inches behind.
"The fruit industry has been
helped tremendously, especially
the peach crops," Powell said. "In
Chilton County the peaches look
100 percent better. The pastures
that were brown are now green
and luscious. It's amazing how
fast grasses can come back."
A bad effect from so much rain
after a drought is brown rot dis­ease
in peaches and plums that is
hard to control, Powell said. "The
rain washes the sprays (that pre­vents
the disease) off." Also ripe
blueberries and peaches begin to

Another area that has not been
helped are the recreational water
areas. The water levels in lakes
need 40-50 inches of rain to return
to normal level.
"There h a s been no significant
damage" in the agricultural
industry with the exception of
corn crops, according to Hender­son.
"It has prevented normal
cultivation and field operation on
certain crops, such as-soybeans....
But farmers can usually over­come
this, unless it is excessive."
The rain has helped and has
enabled irrigation to be cut off
some, reducing costs, Powell
said. "We still have drought prob­lems
around, but growers feel
much better now."
The poultry industry has been
more affected by the heat than
the actual drought said Dr.
Robert N. Brewer, head of the
poultry science department. "The
high humidity makes chickens
feel hotter and not consume as
much feed," he said. "This causes..
loss of weight gain and fewer
eggs."

much luck.

Auburn just change its mascot

Howard said.
There will also lie no Aulijc

Stress-free studying:
Auditing an option for students
By Leslie H a r r is
Staff Writer
Picture this: Going to class, but
never worrying about taking
notes or tests, just sitting back,
listening and enjoying the lec­ture,
simply wanting to learn
what, is being taught..
Sound interesting?
Apparently 93 people going to
s c h o o l summer q u a r t e r at
Auburn think so.
"You don't have to take notes,
you can sit and listen. It's a better
way of learning," said Gerald
Roman, 44. Boman, a 1974
Auburn graduate, has a master's
degree from The University of
Dayton. This quarter he is audit­ing
two civil engineering classes.
"As far as credit goes, they (the
classes) wouldn't help me"any­way.
I'm trying to regain some of
the skills I lost, the math skills,"
Bowman said.
Judy Lewis, 47, assistant pro­fessor
of sociology at Auburn, is
auditing statistics to prepare for
her return to school in the fall to
get a Ph.D. in sociology.
There are not many students
advised to audit, said Mrs. Bruce
D. Blake, an academic adviser in
liberal arts. "But like in foreign
language, it does move fast and it
does pay some to audit," she said.
According to statistics, foreign
language classes are the most
frequently audited classes this
summer.
Although the students do not
receive credit for auditing, "if
they don't attend class, they
receive non-attendance on their
report or transcript," said Mrs.
Blake. Students may not change
from audit to credit in a class, but
may change from credit to audit
within three weeks, according to
Mrs. Blake.
'I thought there
might not be
enough people to
make the class
happen, and I
wanted to help
out.'

Lemarchand
Mark Manry, 22, 04 GEH, is
auditing two foreign language
classes. "I had almost three
semesters of French before, but it
was all written translation and I
wanted more oral," Manry said.
Jesse Alexander, 23, 04 EE,
said the French class he is audit­ing
is the only class he is taking
this summer. "I was rusty and
wanted to get familiar with} it
again." ',

Stephanie Bradley, 23, 04 C'L
was originally registered fotjjie
accounting class she is in. But "It
had been a while since I'd had tjhe
first and second courses, ajid I
was advised to audit," sjie*'sald.
"It was kind of complicated.. I
thought you could just sayTyou
wanted to audit. I actually had to
drop the class and then pi<jkjup
the class as an audit." '• J
Terry Disney, 28, a Ph.D,' stu­dent
in agricultural economies,
said the class he is auditing! is
"closely related" to what friej is
studying. "It is the first time'tjiis
class has been offered in thethree
years I've been here," he said.'
Lionel Lemarchand, 25, ,06
FLF, said there are two reasons
for his taking the class he is~ujid-iting.
"I thought there migljt not
be enough people to make, the
class happen, and I wanted, to
help out." A rule of the foreign
language departrmrnt Ts tKhf if
you are a graduate teacher",-$ou
must take two graduate classes,
Lemarchand said. '*•'.';
For full-time students (1 Oltp'urs
or more) there is no extra cost to
audit. For those taking less than
10 hours, there is a $37 Hie :per
each class audited, said" "Mrs.

4 < For the people?
* There's nothing like wait­ing
till the last moment to get
something incredibly impor­tant
accomplished. This con­c
e p t s more popularly known
as**grocrastination, and it's
sbjSjithing the Alabama State
Legislature does well.
WJien the Legislature con­verged
the regular session on
May 5, it did so without
resolving two main issues —
the state education budget
and the state's general fund.
As if that were not enough,
House Speaker Jimmy Clark
proposed last week that Gov.
Hiinitcall not one, but two ses­sions
to deal with the prob­lems
that were pushed aside
during regular session.
'. Terrific. Not only is our
sitate Legislature going to
have to meet to a personal
gain of $50 per day ($10 salary
and $40 expenses) to settle
issues that should have been
handled during regular ses-sio'nj
but the issues are appar­ently
"controversial" enough
to .require two special
sessions.
Clark seems to think that
the issues cannot be resolved
in one 30-day special session,
and perhaps he is right. If the
history of the regular sessions
is any guide, little will be
accomplished at any special
session either.
The legislators have known
since regular session that the
state budgets would require
consideration. They've now
had more than enough time to
articulate arguments about
the budgets for debate in one
special session.
The Plainsman considers
passing the state budgets a
matter of the utmost impor­tance,
and finds the Legisla­ture
inefficient in its efforts —
or lack thereof — to do so.
Perhaps the Legislature will
attempt to make amends with
its constituency by pushing to
get the budgets passed in one
special session.
At this point, any legisla­tive
act of efficiency would be
a pleasant surprise.
Lights out
When the new tennis court
complex designs were being
approved by the University
Planning Committee, one
glaring problem was over-lobked.
The switches that control
the lighting on the courts were
ingeniously placed in a locked
area accessible only to spe­cific
members of the facilities
division. As a result, night­time
tennis buffs have been
unable to turn off the lights at
the-courts when their games
conclude.
;2jlbright thing this was not.
! ;5§«sistant Vice President
for*Facilities Stan Drake said
tlve1 glaring problem will be
resolved when the courts'
electrical system is rewired to
allow players to control the
lighting.
Other areas of Auburn's
campus, however, are in the
dark. The most obvious of
these is the area surrounding
Ralph Brown Draughon
Library. The grounds are lit
only by several inadequate
lights on the lawn and, of
course, the glow from within
the library itself.
Students utilizing the servi­ces
of the library at night are
unnecessarily placed in a
potentially dangerous situa­tion
by the lack of lighting.
Though better lighting may
be proposed as part of the
library expansion, adequate
lighting, even if only tempor­ary
until the extension is
complete, is needed.
Though we are aware that
additional lighting is being
implemented in other areas
thanks to the efforts of Presi­dent
James E. Martin, The
Plainsman urges the facilities
division to address the library
lighting deficiency as soon as
possible. "

AUPD attitudes rouse lack of respect
I like men. As a matter of fact, I
like all sorts of men. I even like
men in uniform.
And I like colors. Red, green
and yellow are nice colors, but I
think I prefer blue.
So it would make sense that I
would like'men in blue,' right? I
mean, the transitive property dic­tates
that I should, doesn't it?
I tried. Honest I did. I've
always had great respect for
police officers and the depart­ments
for which they work. I
have ever since my sister became
one years ago at Miami Beach.
But that all changed. I lost
most of my respect — not so much
for the officers, but the depart­ment
itself — when I misplaced
my hangtag last quarter. That's
when I was forced to deal with...
The Auburn University Police
Department.
Sure, I know what you're think­ing:
Here is yet another student
irate because she had to pay a few
parking tickets.
Not so.
I've paid only one ticket since
registering my vehicle during
winter quarter. A ticket, I might
add, that was well-deserved and
paid without debate.
Up until I lost my hangtag, I
had successfully managed to
avoid the AUPD. Yes, I had
heard bad things about the
department and their rumored
"harrassment of students." The
bigger kids had warned me of the
a great rift between the AUPD
and the students. Some called it
"them against us." Some called it
"mutual." All called it a "war."
So I steered clear of "them,"
hoping I would never slip up; hop­ing
I wouldn't become a statistic
for some monthly quota (some­thing
that, of course, doesn't
exist).
Editor
PAIGE
OLIVER
When I lost the hangtag, I
received two tickets for not hav­ing
a validator. I was told by a
police officer that I would have to
file a missing hangtag report. I
did.
He told me that I probably
wouldn't have to pay the tickets,
but that he was sure I'd have to
register my car again.
But I'd have to deal with that
"tomorrow" because it was 5 p.m.
and everyone in the car registra­tion
area had departed.
I managed to get to the vehicle
registration area tit 4:20 one
sunny afternoon. After explain­ing
my situation to the clerk, he
told me that my tickets would be
revoked when I registered my car
again.
But I'd have to deal with that
"tomorrow" because it was 4:25
and everyone in the car registra­tion
area was departing.
Feeling like I was getting the
run-around, I asked what would
happen if I was to get another
ticket during the night. "You had
better not." was the reply.
As Murphy's Law would sup­port,
my car was ticketed again
during the night. But all was well
when I registered my car the next
morning and all three tickets
were revoked.
So it was finally over. I figured
that as long as I kept my car reg­istered
with all the' validators
" p r o p e r l y d i s p l a y e d , " t h e re
would be no further hassles. I fig­ured
wrong.
Approximately two weeks after
this ordeal, I received a letter
from the AUPD informing me
that I had two cars registered and
must therefore pay a $50 fine. The
nightmare had returned.
This time I called. The woman
who helped me checked into the
records and informed me that I
had two cars registered — a 1988
red Mazda truck and a 1988 red
Mercedes Benz. Controlling my
laughter, I explained that if I had
the money to own a 1988 Mer­cedes
AND my truck, the $50 fine
would be no hardship. Needless
to say, the fine was revoked.
Recently. I received two tickets
for parking in a 15-minute zone.
The tickets said that I was parked
in a "prohibited zone." When I
asked why the 15-minute zone
was a prohibited zone, the AUPD
clerk told me that there were no
15-minute zones in the parking
lot outside of the Plainsman
office. An argument ensued. See
picture at right.
It is my feeling that the AUPD
is a fine police department that
keeps this University, for the
most part, a safe place. And I can
certainly understand the reason
behind ticketing illegally-parked
vehicles. But what I cannot
understand is the attitudes of
s e v e r a l police- d e p a r t m e nt
employees.
It seems to me that students
deserve the benefit of the doubt if
they feel they have been ticketed
wrongfully. And they certainly
deserve an explanation of a park­ing
regulation that they have
been accused of violating.
Though it may be naive, I
believe most students would
simply accept the ticket and pay
it if the violation is explained.
Why waste the time of the student
and the parking court if it can be
corrected before ever reaching
that stage?
Sure, I know there are students
that approach the employees
rudely concerning a ticket, but
there are many who simply want
an explanation and perhaps
some advice about what to do
next. The attitude that is often
conveyed by some employees,
however, is that anyone with a
ticket and a question is a
criminal.
Maybe they should consider
the right in this country afforded
to every citizen. It's the concept of
"innocent until proven guilty."
Blackboard Jungle goes to bureaucrats
As the presidential race is
beginning to heat up, both Bush
and Dukakis are trying hard to
present their party as "the party
of the people" by stressing tradi­tional
family values such as qual­ity
education.
I have no problem with this
idea, except that when politicians
become involved in such "family
matters," the end result often
leaves much to be desired.
When Secretary of Education
William Bennett proclaimedthat
America was a "nation at risk"
because of the poor quality of
public education, politicians
across the country began scram­bling
to tell their constituents
what would fix the problem.
Thus, the rhetoric began. And
the political process.
To be fair, progress is being
made to upgrade the quality of
education in this country. But the
Blackboard Jungle is quickly
b e c o m i n g the B u r e a u c r a t ic
Jungle.
Why is this?
Politicians at all levels tend to
perform the same purposes as
medieval physicians. When they
see an ill in society, they either
News Editor
KAY
TAYLOR
leech and bleed the problem of
funds to remove the wasteful, bad
blood, or they force feed the issue
huge doses of money and castor
oil.
This seems to be the case with
e d u c a t i o n . Yes, c o n c e r n is
needed, as is action. But excesses
of funds seem only to yield a sur­plus
of surveys, committee
recommendations and review
boards.
At the other extreme, slashing
budgets and freezing funds does
little to remove waste. However,
it does succeed in making it diffi­cult
for teachers and professors to
conduct classes by rationing
such luxuries as duplication
paper and other instructional
supplies.
For the past several years in
Alabama, PROBATION has
been the dirty word in education.
The Legislature cut and froze the
education budget for the purpose
of saving the state money. This
kept salary increases for teachers
at a minimum and hampered
instruction by limiting teaching
supplies.
But the Proration tide has
turned. Now, the savior of educa­tion
is money. Unfortunately, it
is money channeled in the wrong
direction.
Alabama has invested a great
deal of money investigating the
woes of education and how to best
improve them.
This is a worthwhile idea in
theory. In actuality, it results in
teachers spending far too much
time filling out itineraries and
forms and far too little time
teaching the three R's spoken of
so often by politicians.
It seems where money goes, so
goes paperwork. Tests, surveys
and reports appear in profusion
as justification for funding.
Too often, the politicians and
public become caught up in per­centages
and means, lulled into
believing that standardized tests
are the most accurate reflection
of what students know.
. Perhaps^ trfe money spent on-research
teams and panels could
be put into general instruction
funds to allow teachers to use
learning aids such as maps,
chemistry sets and filmstrips.
Perhaps money used in estab­lishing
evaluation hoards and
committees could be used to
increase teacher salaries to make
the profession more attractive.
But perhaps the most effective
measure that could be taken
would he the removal of the
Legislature from controlling the
educational process.
A committee could be appoint­ed
by the government to oversee
the general education budget.
This committee could report
directly to the Legislature, but
would not have to worry about [
reelection campaigns.
Education is funded through ,'
taxes, but wouldn't it seem logi- ]
cal that an educator would know ;
more about educational needs ;
than would a lawyer or banker?
f
Perhaps such a committee i
could help prevent periods of '
excess and deficit in the future,
and education could he placed i
above prevailing political views.
Graduation requirements extend to tomfoolery
As I ate a "Little Debbie Nutty
Bar" and watched an old rerun of
The Love Boat, I was pondering
over what to write for my column.
Many thoughts came to mind,
but instead of stepping on
anyone's toes, I decided to write a
humorous addition for our paper.
We will refer to this article as
"The Five Tasks to Complete
Before Graduation." For all
freshmen reading, you have
plenty of time to start these tasks,
but for us others — HURRY!
One crucial task that needs to
be completed, if you have not
already done it, is to indulge in an
"all nighter." This means that
you stay out all night, doing what­ever,
and time it so that the fun
ends at 7:55 a.m. — just in time
for your 8 o'clock class. For added
pizazz, try a "road trip."
Secondly, plan to get two or
three friends together, if you have
that many, and map out vour
p l a n t o . . . S C A L E THE LI­BRARY.
I have personally never
done this, but would love to. To
prepare for this adventure, be
sure to wear black clothes and a
ski mask. You will need a lot of
rope. Sorry I cannot be more pre­cise.
You will at least look
professional.
This task must be done late at
night, when there is not much

traffic around the library, and 1
only suggest it to those who love
the aroma of adventure — the
kind that will get you kicked out
of school. Besides, the library
should not only be for studying,
now should it? If you're running
low on money or need fresh ideas
for d a t e s , SCALE THE LI­BRARY.
Thirdly, for those who have
always questioned what goes on
at Greek socials on Thursday
n i g h t s , I have a solution.
Whether you are male or female,
it makes no difference. First, pick
the fraternity or sorority that
most peaks your curiousity.
Ask around to find out where
the social will be taking place and
what time it starts. Then find out
the theme of the social so that you
can dress accordingly. Now (this
is the fun part) plan to arrive
extremely late so t h a t the social­ites
will not really recognize you.
They will already be in a "festive"
mood.
Be sure not to use the front
e n t r a n c e ; try the kitchen
entrance instead. The idea is to
pretend that you are a member of
the fraternity or sorority in which
you are impersonating. To add
excitement, change your name.
Just proceed to act like everyone
else until you notice someone
staring a hole through you. When
this happens, get the heck out of
there.
The funny side effect to this
venture is that the next day,
someone you met the night before
may talk to you on the concourse
and will either ask you out on a
date or inquire about someone
that you are supposed to know.
To get out of this, just kindly
explain that after you left the
party you fell down a flight of
stairs and as a result, have an
extreme case of amnesia.
Are you with me so far?
F o u r t h l y (although I have
never done this), I have always
wanted to pull the "TWO DATES
IN ONE NIGHT TRICK." I have
known people to do this, so let us
add this to our list of tasks. To do
this, you must know two people
with whom you would like to go
on a date. To make things a bit
more exciting, go out with the one
you like best last.
To get out of the first date in
record time, fake "a major test
tomorrow" scene. The skill in pul­ling
this off without any hint of
suspicion is to just act normal, or
try to anyway. Be extremely care­ful
not to tell anyone but your
closest friend, since scarred repu­tations
are not the best to have.
Try to plan your first date for the
daytime and be home around 5
p.m. so that you can get ready for
the next date at 7 p.m. Try it — it
may be life threatening.
Finally, since all of these tasks
lead to graduation eventually, try
and go out with a blast. We all
know how hot graduation robes
are from our prior experience in
high school, so I have got a
"cooler" solution...GO NAKED
under the robe. Sure, I know that
this is not an original idea, but
since Auburn is full of traditions,
why not add one more? Boy, what
a story to tell the kids.
So, when you are looking for
excitement, ponder over these
suggestions I have offered. These
tasks could change the whole
meaning of college for some
people.
If any of these tasks need
further explanation, use your
own imagination. After all, I got
you this far.

Letters
A uburn not a "pressing issue
Editor, 'The Plainsman:
I found the July 21 editorial
"No press" quite interesting.
However, I disagree with your
conclusion that creation of an
Auburn University press should
be high priority.
First, let me address several
assumptions on which the editor­ial
is based. Most academicians
do not regard the University of
North Carolina Press or the
Georgia Press or oven the Ala­bama
Press as those of "rival
schools." Rival schools is a con­cept
rooted in sports, not an oper­able
academic concept.
Second, I know of no agree­ment
between Auburn and Ala­bama
regarding publication of
Auburn faculty's manuscript.
Ten years ago the University of
Alabama Press expanded its
faculty press committee to
include faculty from Auburn: the
University of South Alabama:
the University of Alabama, Bir­mingham;
and other schools. The
new director realized the number
of manuscripts produced by scho­lars
in the state capable of pass­ing
a rigorous peer review process
was small. Expansion of the
press committee gave him access
to other faculties because the
representatives could alert him to
any faculty working on manus­cripts,
allowing him to actively
recruit the works.
Finally, your editorial suggests
that an Auburn press would pub­lish
Auburn faculty. That is not
the way reputable university
presses work. They give no pref­erence
to their own faculty.
Presumably an Auburn press
would subject its own faculty to
the same rigorous external
review process which now exists
at all the presses you mention. If
you check the three presses you
list — North Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama — you will discover
that relatively few of the books
they publish are authored by
their own faculty.
I oppose creation of an Auburn
U n i v e r s i t y press for three
reasons:
— Need — Does the editor of The
Plainsman know of a single
m a n u s c r i p t w r i t t e n by an
Auburn faculty member that has
passed the peer review process at
any press and not been pub­lished?
I do not.
If there is no reservoir of qual­ity
unpublished manuscripts out
there at the 100 existing univer­sity
presses in America, what
would our press publish? I haven
hunch we would become a press
of last resort, in essence publish­ing
the rejects from other presses.
— Priority — Recently. I was on
an ACHE review team evaluat­ing
our civil engineering depart­ment.
We have an able faculty, an
excellent building and woefully
inadequate equipment.
Everywhere one looks at
Auburn the story is the same:
i n a d e q u a t e maintenance bud­gets,
antiquated maps and
equipment, library shortages,
classes too large, students unable
to get in classes at all, salaries
well below camparable ranks
even at the University of Ala­bama
and an honors program
with little financial support. If
you ask Auburn faculty how we
ought to appropriate precious
and finite resources, you will not
find a press high on the list of
priorities.
— Duplication — For II years I
have listened to Auburn folk
deplore the duplication of aca­demic
programs in this state.
Alabama is one of the poorest
states in America, yet we have
half a do/en engineering schools,
more nursing schools than that
and many overlapping doctoral
programs which graduate only a
handful of students.
Auburn has properly taken the
lead in working to end such
abuse. How can we reconcile such
a position with The Plainsman's
argument that for sake of pres­tige
\\ e should have a second uni­versity
press? And if AU can jus
tify a press, how could we oppose
one at UAH. unless of course only
universities with I-A football
programs should be allowed to
have university presses?
I.et me suggest what I believe
to In' a better crusade for The
Plainsman, one that I hope will
elicit broad support in the state.
Why not work for the creation of a
University Press of Alabama
jointly funded and sponsored by
all the state's universities? Such
arrangements presently exist in
Kentucky. Florida and other
states. They avoid both wasteful
duplication and narrow institu­tional
parochialism. Such an
arrangement might be the first
step in addressing what I believe
has been mutually destructive
rivalry between the state's two
major universities. And it would
not drain resources from much
more urgent needs at Auburn.
Wayne Flynt
History Department
Olivers political views shallow
Editor, The Plainsman:
It is the prerogative of every
American to voice his or her own
opinion, especially if their
remarks regard politics. How­ever,
I find Paige Oliver's visual­ization
of this year's presidential
campaign somewhat hard to
swallow. For want of a better
definition, it appears that Miss
Oliver is a sucker for a pretty face
and a silver tongue, politically
speaking, of course.
True, the Rev. Jesse Jackson is
a brilliant orator, capable of
whipping the most subdued
crowds into an emotional frenzy.
But, it will take more than a few
key phrases, delivered fire and
brimstone stvle, to erase a hor­rendous
trade deficit. It will take
more than mere emotional repeti­tion
to solve the plight of the
homeless or to secure funding for
AIDS research.
It is in my opinion, and the
opinion of many political ana­lysts
both Republican and Demo­crat
alike, that the White House is
in desperate need of a manager.
For the past eight years, the
executive branch has fallen vic­tim
to charisma, backed up by

Save money with book exchange
Editor, T;hc Plainsman:
For more than .17 years. Alpha
Phi Omega has provided a ser­vice
to the students of Auburn
University by operating a non­profit
book exchange.
The book exchange allows stu­dents
to sell their books on a con­signment
basis. For instance, a
student purchases a new text­book
for $20 at a commercial
bookstore. At the end of the quar­ter
the student can sell the book
for two-thirds the price or $15.
This works because if the student
tries to sell the book back to the
bookstore, the most he or she will
get will probably be $10.
The book exchange is a great
place to buy books, also. The BX
sells books just like any other
bookstore, but a major advantage
the BX has that other bookstores
don't have is the provision that
the owner of the book gets to set
his or her own price for the book.
So one can save more money and
earn more money in return by
using the BX!!
The BX opened on March 13,
1951 in temporary building 2-B
(now the site of Ralph Brown
Draughon Library). Through the
years, the BX has been located in
s e v e r a l l o c a t i o n s i n c l u d i ng
beneath the steps of Langdon
Hall (the building in which you
see the free movies).
Most of the student body prob­ably
remembers the BX being in
the basement of Foy Union. We
now have a new location: in the
L-Building next to the VAX Lab.
We also have new hours of opera­tion.
For the rest of the quarter,
the BX will be open 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
on Wednesdays and 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
every day during final exams. We
would like to encourage everyone
to stop .by the BX and find out
how we are helping the student
body.

Library state requires separate building
Editor, The Plainsman:
In view of the congestion, con­fusion
and general inconven­ience
which prevail in our main
library, it seems to me that it
would have been better to erect a
separate building for the library
addition.
This could have been situated
close to the original building and
the two connected with an arcade
or some such structure. Several
other advatages are manifest,
principal of which perhaps is the
lesser hazard in case of fire (God
forbid!).
In a building used by so many
parts of the University commun­ity,
perhaps a wider expression of
opinion might well have been
sought.

SGA Forum
Fund grants wishes, dreamt
, A s an Auhurn student you can
be proud that you have taken part
in the funding of state and local
c h a r i t i e s t h r o u g h the All-
Campus Fund.
The All-Campus Fund was
established to provide a pool of
readily available cash (inflow
and outflow monitored by the
Student Government Associa­tion
Senate) allowing the SGA to
donate money to state and local
charities on behalf of Auburn
students.
As of July 25, there was $3,305
in the fund, and more will be com­ing
in during fall and winter
because of the number of fun­draisers
held.
Those of you who have coordi­nated
fundraisers are well aware
it is suggested by the SGA that 30
percent, or as much as possible, of
fundraiser profits be given to the
All-Campus Fund. Most organi­zations
in the past have given
close to that amount.
Some people, though not a
majority, have questioned the
efficiency of this process and
have wondered where the fund
money goes.
At the end of spring quarter,
Allen Ford, director of commun­ity
volunteer information, told
the SGA executive officers that
the Alabama Girls' Ranch had to
raise about $8,000 by Friday,
June 10, to pay bills on farm
equipment needed to run the
Ranch or lose the equipment.
SGA President
CINDY
HOLLAND
Many of you are familiar with
the function of the Ranch; it is a
residence for homeless and
abused girls.
Upon receiving this request.
SGA Vice P r e s i d e n t Mark
Murphy called a special Seriate
session June 6, to get its approval
of a $1,000 donation to be made to
the Girls' Ranch. On June 8, SGA
Treasurer Beau Byrd handed a
check to a representative of the
Girls' Ranch.
Because the money is accessi­ble
for allocation, SGA was able
to donate that money only three
days after its request. Your
money and donations by other
groups around the state made it
possible for the Girls' Ranch to
pay its bills and continue
operations.
SGA now has another touching
request before it. The Alabama
Make A Wish Foundation is
organizing a 600-mile bike-a-thon
from Sept. 26 at 7 a.m. to Oct. 1 at
4 p.m. The Foundation has chal­lenged
a number of state univer­sities
including Alabama and
Auburn to donate a minimum of
$1,000 to Make A Wish.
Make A Wish grants a "last
wish" to terminally ill children;I J.
grants close to six wishes^.a
month, and the average cost for.;
each wish is approximately,
$3,500. However, the cost scale
does range from $200-$6.0O0
depending on the wish.
One child may simply ask for'n"

Treatment available for stutterers PARIS, continued from page 1
By Kay Taylor
News Editor
Help is now available through
the Auburn Speech and Hearing
Clinic for anyone who stutters.
"Stuttering affects about 1
percent of the population at
large," Dr. Rebekah Pindzola of
the Speech and Hearing Clinic
said.
Pindzola describes stuttering
as an abnormal flow of speech
broken by stoppages, repetitions
or prolongations of sounds.
These symptoms may also be
accompanied by unusual facial
or body movements.
The precise cause of stuttering
is unknown to speech patholo­gists.
"We don't know for certain
what the cause is, but it seems to
be a physiological problem, per­haps
a dysfunction of motor
nerves in the brain," Pindzola
said.
Stuttering usually developes at
an early age, typically between
the ages of 3 and 5.
"With preschoolers, it's rela­tively
rimple to treat," Pindzola
said.
An effective treatment with
children is teaching them to slow
the first syllable of words after
pauses in speech, according to
Pindzola. This lessens the stress
of startings and stoppings in
speech.
If stuttering is not diagnosed
and treated early in life, it
tmm
becomes increasingly difficult to
treat. The physical problem of
stuttering is compounded by psy­chological
pressures, according
to Pindzola.
"When the child reaches mid­dle
school, it becomes a psycho­logical
problem as well as a
speech problem. There may be
social withdrawal. He may
become afraid to answer ques­tions
in class or afraid to answer
the phone.
"It begins to affect his lifes­tyle,"
Pindzola said.
Adults are the most difficult to
treat, but Pindzola said that in
the past five to eight years the
success rate in the treatment of
stuttering has risen from 20-70
percent, to 80-95 percent as new
programs of therapy have been
developed.
Clinic rates are $20 per hour
session, $10 per half hour for non-students.
However, rates are
based on a sliding scale and
determined by the person's abil­ity
to pay.

Pindzola offers help at AU speech clinic
rate is $50 per quarter, pre-paid.
Pindzola said $50 may sound
like a lot, but that students usu­ally
come in twice a week for
'We want them to know we're here to
help them.'
— Dr. R. Pindzola
"It might be $20 an hour or $.50
an hour. The point is, we're not
turning anyone away," Pindzola
said.
For University students, the
hour-long sessions.
"It's really a bargain," Pind­zola
said.
Along with treatment sessions,
a stuttering support group is
being formed for Auburn stu­dents
and other adults. There will
be no charge for this group.
"It's going to be a combination
therapy and socialization group,
not unlike Alcoholics Anony­mous
or Weight Watchers. We
want stutterers to know that
they're not alone. The group will
share frustrations, share sugges­tions
and share experiences.
"We want them to know we're
here to help them," Pindzola said.
F u r t h e r information about
either the treatment sessions or
the support group can be
obtained by contacting Pindzola
at 826-5545 .

Dylan's concert proves
times have changed
A&F Editor
SHARON
FORSHEE
Along with three friends, I
made the 5 hour drive to Nash­ville
to see Boh Dylan in concert
and became inescapably lost in
the '60s (at least for a few hours.)
As we entered the gate of Star­wood
Amphitheatre. I began to
notice the various realms of
humanity attempting to smuggle
bourbon under their blankets or
in their purses. One poor woman,
a bit rotund, even had her
Snickers bar confiscated, as food
was also strictly forbidden.
Young teenagers in jeans and
black concert t-shirts clamored
for Dylan concert shirts, and a
groan rose up from a bevy of
grown-ups when it was announ­ced
that all the extra-larges were
sold out.
Behind me in the refreshment
line, three middle-aged women in
acid-washed jeans, Reebok high
tops and brand-new looking tye-dyes
(one was hot pink and neon
yellow) giggled excitedly holding
flimsy cups of beer.
"I really shouldn't drink
another one," chirped an espe­cially
stout woman with frosted
hair and an "I love Bob Dylan"
button, "but it is Bob and all."
Her friends nodded vehemently
in agreement and the three began
s e a r c h i n g their acid-washed
matching jean purses for change.
Having purchased general-admission
tickets gave my
friends and I the privilege of
spreading out blankets and sit­ting
on the grassy knoll with
about 5,000 other fans, which I
thought was quite fitting indeed
for it lent a communal air to the
whole experience.
Sitting on one side of us, down­ing
shots of Jack Daniels, was a
15-year-old named Trevor in a
Motley Crue T-shirt with the
sleeves cut off. We met him when
he tried to bum a cigarette and he
merely laid on his blanket the
whole night occasionally exert­ing
a "Yeah" at particularly good
guitar licks.
On the other side sat two biker-types
complete with 6-inch
beards, black leather boots,
tatoos and Harley Davidson T-shirts
who upon the first notes of
a r o l l i c k i n g " S u b t e r r a n e an
Homesick Blues" jumped up as
excited as small children and
danced throughout the whole
concert.
Looking to the right and left I
felt as if I were in some sort of
time warp. This warped feeling
began to grow during the first
song and on to the second. I
began to get the feeling that I
wasn't watching a living, breath­ing
human being cut a cultural
monument of some sort.
This wasn't the Bob Dylan who
preached religion and mumbled
incoherently while performing
s t r a n g e versions of favorite
songs — this wasn't the Dylan I'd
come to see.
Sure, Dylan did "Highway 61,"
"A Simple Twist of Fate" and an
i d i o s y n c h r a t i c a l l y phrased "I
Shall Be Released," but he
seemed so distant. He spoke not
one word to the crowd, not even a
"Hello everybody."He forbade us
to take photographs and scarcely
looked at the other musicians. He
just didn't connect and I began to
feel almost personally snubbed.
About 25 minutes into the con­cert
I perked up a bit when he
started an acoustic set, drawling

Video Yearbook 'fast paced'
By Sandra Stephens
Staff Writer
In this new age of technology
and advancement invading
every aspect of education, it is
only natural that the next step
in promoting college memories
is a video yearbook.
After viewing several video
yearbooks from other colleges.
A u b u r n ' s SGA decided to
embark on its own video adven­ture.
"After checking into sev­eral
private production com­p

tremendous expense, Harold
Melton (1986-87 SGA President)
and Randv Darden came to us
right after Christmas (1987),"
Steve Beverly of University

A committee of SO A members
and myself got together and
watched other college videos
and decided on the format that
would best suit the atmosphere
at Auburn, Beverly said. "We
decided on a '.]() minute video
this year, but I think that on a
campus this large, you could go
30-45 minutes without losing
the viewer's attention." Beverly
said. "Maybe we can work up to

his plans are foiled once again
and, in true melodramatic tradi­tion,
Munroe gets everything he
deserves in the end.
Beasley said she expects the
play to go over well because of the
work the cast has put into it. The
play is "probably the hardest
thing I've ever done in my life."
Beasley said.
Another enhancing part of the
play is the elaborate period cos­tuming.

!!; The play takes place in the liv­ing
room of Paul and Diana's
;home in an English suburb in
*A'.97i. The intimate atmosphere of
•the Theatre Upstairs made the
audience members feel as if thev
were actually in the same room
with the characters by bringing
them closer to the action and
i n t e n s i t y of the characters'
emotions.
Because the audience was so
close to the actual production,
every detail of the set and cos­tumes
was important. The set
design by Michael Sims was open
enough for the actors to move
around and the audience to see.
but still gave the impression of a
unified design.
Lois Garren's costumes lent an
air of authenticity to the produc­tion
and were a source of amuse­ment
for many of the play-goers.
The actors were also under
great pressure to perform well in
such a closed environment. Since
even the slightest movement was
visible to the audience, each
motion had to be credible. All of
the performances were convinc­ing,
but several deserve special
mention.
Monica Smith was powerful as
Diana. She covered a wide range
of emotions in a short period of
time and was excellent as the
hostess who tries to right the
chaos she finds happening at her
tea.
Susu Mitchell (Evelyn) also
brings the right level of intensity
to a character that could easily
become overbearing or fade into

Evelyn has only a few lines, her
presence is important to the plot

Music series provides
Sacred Harp harmony
Sacred Harp singing expresses
moods of loneliness, depression,
joy and looking forward to a
future in heaven.
While some songs resemhle
gospel hymns, others are more
folk-oriented and tell stories.
Nonetheless, the Sacred Harp
singers who performed Tuesday
July 19 at Pebble Hill for the
C h a u t a u q u a n Echoes Series
presented a musical experience
quite different from either gospel
or folk concerts.
Sacred Harp singing is written
in three-part harmony and uti­lizes
no accompaniment. Notes
have four shapes and singers use
these shapes, not the note's posi­tion
on the staff, to read the
music.
Singers came from Dadeville,
Alex City. Montgomery and
Louisiana to participate in the
passed around to audience
members who were asked to sing
along.
The singers opened with the
audience-requested "Amazing
Grace," and many audience
members joined in, tapping their
feet and nodding their heads. The
atmosphere was casual and
relaxed with children running
about and the Sacred Harp sin­gers
remaining seated through­out
the concert.
Requested songs, "The Ship is
I" and "Not Made With Hands"
were two familiar hymns sung.
The group sang to about 60
audience members, some of
w h i c h were s t u d e n t s , who
brought lawn chairs or spread
blankets on the lawn.

comedy.
Michael Sims (Colin) brings a
higher level of emotional inten­sity
to the show. From the
moment he makes his memorable
entrance to the moment lie exits.
Sims exhibits an innocent zest
for life and a true gift for putting
his foot in his mouth.
A comedy that provokes much
thought. Absent Friends pro­vides
a night of entertainment
that should not be missed.
The play will again lie pres­ented
in repertory on Aug. .'i-(i and

page 10 Cbf 9uburn Plainsman Thursday, July 28, 1988
Former Led Zeppelin member falls flat with new album
_ Outrider
. j i m m y Page
* • "
The name Jimmy Page brings
classic rock "n" roll songs to mind:
'""Over the Hills and Far Away,"
^"Ramble On. " "Dancing Days"
and "Immigrant Song" just to
name a few. With these songs to
-'his credit, it's surprising his first
"solo album could he as dull as
' 'On I rider.
The album has a side of rock 'n'
roll songs and a side of blues
songs. The rock V roll side opens
with "Wasting My Time" and
"Wanna Make Love." two songs
which could have been on the
Firm's next album. They hoth
feature a mediocre guitar line
introduction, and a handful of
chords for a verse played over
and over to the point of exhaus­tion.
"Writes of Winter" and "Liquid
Mercury" are instrumentals
which also suffer this repetitive
disease. Page throws in some
nifty guitar licks on these two,
but the music he's playing over is
so boring his work is hardly
noticeable. Before he s t a r t s writ­ing
his next album, Page should
look up the word "redundant."
I t 's exciting to read the songw-riting
credits for "The Only One":
Page/Plant. Plant supplied the
vocal for the song as well, and
needless to say it had great
potential. Unfortunately, it was
wasted.
The song has a strong start, hut
suddenly drops into a bizarre
rhythm similar to "The Grunge."
Plant stumhles in and sounds
like he's trying to run an obstacle
course and sing at the same time.
He leaves the impression of yap­ping
out the lyrics instead of
singing them.
Side two has the ballads
"Humminghird" and "Blues
Anthem." Chris Farlow delivers
a rich vocal on both, and
although he's an excellent blues
vocalist, he sounds out of place.
"Anthem" has syrupy guitar syn­thesizer
like "All My Love," but
cornier.
" P r i s o n Blues" could have
been named "Blues Cliche." Page
whips out every old blues lick
you've ever heard and hoped to
never hear again. Farlow puts in
a superb vocal, hut his subject
matter is ridiculous.
If you like great guitar music, I
advise you wait until the new
Robert ('ray is out. If you like Led
Zeppelin, wait until the Atlantic
Records birthday party allium
comes out. And if you're Jimmy
Page, call Robert Plant and John
Paul Jones and beg them to give
Zeppelin another shot.

Bad luck plagues Curry
Snorts l-ditpr
PHIL
CRAM:
I feel sorry for Bill Gurry.
You know, this just hasn't heejl
~his summer.
His first season as head coach
at Alabama has left our rivals
with mixed feelings about what
he has to offer.
The foremost goal in Curry's
mind is returning to Alabama's
football team the winning edge
• that it had in the davs of the
"Hear."'
However, there have been other
problems plaguing Curry lately
•which I'm sure you've heard
about.
I Joe King was shot in a Bir-
•mingham housing project July
12. and Hobby Humphrey and
Vantries Davis were attacked at
a nightclub by two men. one of
'which was carried an object
resembling a crowbar. The other
carried a knife.
The real problem wasn't guns
and knives, it was alcohol.
King said that he had been
"drinking on the high! that begot
lost in Birmingham,and is now
' t r y i ng to overcome an alcohol
problem.
While hunting for a fast-food
restaurant. King stopped to ask
for directions and said tjiat. he
•was held at "gunpoint by two men
who offered him drugs.
The men then proceeded to take
" his money and shoot him.
With a bullet in his back, he ran
four blocks to a convenience store
to call the police.
• King was released from the
hospital July 1H and is expected
to recover fully from the bullet
wound. However, he said that he
will not return to Alabama this
fall, but will look for a jobin sales
and try to play professional
football.
Three days after King was
shot, Humphrey and Davis suf­fered
wounds at the hands oftwo
unknown assailants in a night­club
parking lot. Davis received
several bruises and Humphrey
was hospitalized with a broken
jaw.
There is a message that I want
to relate to you. I'm no anti-alcohol
crusader, and 1 don't
want to tell people how to live
their lives.
Millions of people can have a
drink and remain in total control.
But many simply don't possess
the same ability, and don't learn
until its too late how deadly it can
he.
Recently Phillip Marshall,
sports editor for The Montgo­mery
Advertiser, wrote of his
u n f o r t u n a t e experiences with
alcohol.
Like Marshall, many of us
have similar stones, although
they probably aren't as extreme.
His father shot himself in the
head, ending his life at age 49.
His little brother did the same
almost 17 years later at the age of
'29. Both had one thing in
common.
During the last climactic
moments of their lives the pain
and sadness must have been
unbearable. Both had been drink­ing
heavily".-'
I. too. enjoy the taste of beer
and the camaraderie shared
between friends after having a
few.
However. 1 realize now t h a t the
taste and camaraderie aren't
worth my death or anyone else's.

The Auburn Karate Club made
a strong showing last month in
New Orleans at the Southern
League Championships. Three
members proved themselves
worthy of competing in the

Vegas, Nev., August 19-21.
David McGee, a graduate stu­dent

second in k'umitc, sparring
matches, and sixth in kata. kar­ate

Carla Smith, a graduate work­ing
on her master's degree,
placed second in kumite and
third in open kata.
McGee and Smith have first-degree
black belts and have been
practicng in the martial arts
since 1984.
"Carla got hie started in kar­ate,"
McGee said. "She told me
how great it was and I got
interested.
"It is a lifetime activity. You
don't peak out at an early age. As
a matter of fact, some of t he better
people are in their thirties and
can still find things that they can
work on to perfect their skill.

Caesar's Palace in August. If any
of us do well enough in the

Rocker rolls for one more year W
Michael B. P e t ty
Staff Writer
He was a third-grader playing
football. He saw the older boys at
his school receiving trophies for
their accomplishments in sports.
So he asked his mother to take
him to the store and buy him
some trophies.
His mother explained to him
that trophies weresomethingyou
earned and not bought. Since
then, Auburn Ail-American de­fensive
tackle Tracy Rocker has
earned his share of trophies.
Rocker, in his senior year at
At)a.nta.Kivki)n High School, was
n a m e d G e o r g i a ' s d e f e n s i ve
player of the year in 198,'?. After
an injury his freshman year,
Rocker was redshirted his first
year at Auburn. The next year he
ied the team in tackles as a
freshman.
Lasl year Rocker was the only
underclassman to be a finalist for
the Lombardi Award. He is All-
S E C and has been named to
most of this year's Ail-American
teams.
However, this year is different
for Rocker. There will he no Bo
Jackson or Brent Fullwood to
carry the team offensively. The
exceptional c o r p s of linebackers
from last year has departed.
This season the strength of
Auburn's football team rests on
the shoulders of its defensive line.
"We have a lot of young players
at key positions. If we (the defen­sive
line) can carry the team for
the first few games we'll be all
right."
Auburn's schedule is no cake-walk
the first few games, but the
end of the season with Georgia.
Florida and Alabama will be the
real test for the Tigers. Rocker
feels this stretch of games will
determine the S V. C title.
Rocker is glad to have Florida
State off the schedule this year.
Rocker said it had nothing to do
with the Seminoles being a pre­season
favorite to he number one
or th» injury he received in las',
year 's game.
"It is always a wild game. My
freshman year, we went down
there and had a shootout
(Auburn won 42-41) with both
teams going up and down the
field the whole game. The next
year we had a tight game in the
third quarter and we scored four
touchdowns in two minutes to
blow it wide open. Last year, we
couldn't do anything right and
then I got hurt on the last play of

As I think of the times when I
woke up and couldn't remember
exactly what happened the night
before, I consider myself lucky to
be alive.
The feelings you get from drugs
and alcohol are fake. The ones
that count come from the heart.
I never spent a night in a
treatment center or a hospital,
nor did I have the cravings of the
kind felt by those who are chemi­cally
dependent.
Many aren't as lucky. Every
day, thousands of people pay for
their drinking with their lives
and the ones who are hurt the
most are the ones who are closest
to them.
This may sound like preaching,
but it's something I've wanted to
say.
History shows that adversity
tends to bring people together.
Who's to say that the recent
events won't bring the Alabama
football team together and make
them stronger as a result?
When you have over a hundred
young men representing one
school, things like this are
inevitable.
However, Alabama's football
team is in the hands of able peo­ple
and they will do whatever it
takes to get the job done.

qualify for the U.S. team trials.
We would then be competing
internationally. I think we have a
chance to do pretty well."
Smith, who plans to attend the
veterinary school in the fall, said
she prefers the kata competition
because it is "self competition."
"When I started karate, I just
fell in love with it for the athletic
part as well as the mental,"
Smith said.
McGee and Smith teach karate
classes at Auburn, and one of
their students, Stephen Powers,
was the third member of the
Auburn karate club to make it to
the national competition at Cae­sar's
Palace. Powers, a junior
studying mathematics, has been
practicing karate for less than a
year, but placed fifth in kumate
in his division.
the game."
The Florida State game was a
omen for Rocker. It caused him to
be superstitious. "Kvery game
since I've been here at Auburn,
I've always worn a girdle. Last
year (in the Florida State game)
.vas the only time I didn't wear
it," Rocker said. The injury cost
him a chance to play in the Sugar
Bowl. He hopes this year he'll get
that chance.
The injury wasn't the only
adversity Rocker faced last year.
The Atlanta native was accused
of being involved in illegal deal­ings
with sports agent Jim
Abernethy. Rocker was cleared of
all charges and said he is ready to
play football and put the incident
behind him.
Rocker is a likely first - round
draft pick in t h eN F I. draft next
year. To play professional foot­ball
would be a dream come true
for Rocker. "I'd play for free.
Nothing is more important than
football, not girls, not even
money means more to rne "
The All-American attributes
some of his success to former
high school coach Willie Hunter
and Auburn defensive coach
Wayne Hall. Rocker said both
men pushed him hard and
brought out the potential he had.
"Neither coach would pet me or
give me special treatment. [ think
that has made a big difference in
my career."
Rocker always looks forward to
the Georgia and Georgia Tech
games but is glad L S U is on the
schedule this year. "We finally
get to see who the real Tiger is."
With the burden of a successful
season on the shoulders of
Auburn's defense, it presents
some pressure to the defensive
line. Tracy Rocker likes it that
way. After almost a year of reha­bilitation.
Rocker is eager to hit
the playing field again.
