Faculty calls
to oust Bamberg
By Tim Dorsey
Plainsman Staffwriter
The Auburn University Faculty
Senate has requested that the Board
of Trustees replace R.C. Bamberg as
vice chairman of the board.
In a resolution passed unanim­ously
Tuesday, the senate requested
that "the Board of Trustees elect a
new vice-chairman."
"The board is seeking a new pres­ident
and making other major deci­sions
which are confirming new
direction for the university ...the
trustees, as a matter of individual
conscience and independent of per­sonal
and political loyalties, should
decide what is best for Auburn Uni­versity,"
read the resolution.
Dr. Hugh Guffey, who presented
the resolution, said that getting rid
of politics "would not happen over­night...
it will be a long drawn-out
process."
Dr. Allen Jones of AU archives,
speaking more harshly oi the toard,
said, "Maybe we are not well versed
on the political arena...and I ques­tion
the cautiousness and conserva­tive
views of the senate leadership."
Jones said the politicians hold all
the trump cards, and then, raising
his voice, declared, "I feel the
faculty of the University has been
asleep over the past several
years...We woke up last year. I hope
we don't go back to sleep."
Dr. Curt Peterson, president of the
faculty senate, introduced the reso­lution
with the statement he gave
before the state senate's confirma­tion
hearing of AU and UA trustees.
In the statement, Peterson said he
shared a concern to do "what is best
for Auburn University and the state
of Alabama and not what may
necessarily be best in the short run
for personal relationships or
loyalties."
The state Senate Rules Committee
has not yet announced its decisions
on the trustee appointments at the
two schools.
Peterson said he did not want to
"make a spectacle" of opposing the
trustee confirmations. He said his
objective was to voice "polite oppo­sition
and communicate our con­cerns
privately." Peterson also
recapped for the faculty senate the
motion by trustee John Denson of
Opelika to replace Bamberg as vice
chairman,.Denson nominated
Henry Steagall of Ozark on June 6
to replace Bamberg. The vote on the
motion was postponed until Aug. 22.
Dr. Jerry Brown, secretary of the
senate and author of the resolution,
said, "We do have some friends on
the board who are working in good
conscience."
Brown also told the senate that
the Southern Association of Col­leges
advised faculty members to try
to remove politics from the board of
trustees and change the trustee
selection process.
Professor fired for views in '58,
A U censured for denying rights]
By Jill Payne
News Editor
In 1958 the AAUP censured
Auburn, then the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, for "infringing
upon academic rights of instruc­tors
by dismissing teachers."
The censure, which was not
lifted until 1964, was imposed after
an economics professor wrote to
The Plainsman expressing views
contrary to those of the University,
and was subsequently fired.
The professor wrote a letter to
the editor giving his views on
segregation. 'College policy at the
time was one of "hands off' in
dealing with political issues.
In 1964 the Board of Trustees
adopted a resolution pledging
"non-discrimination based on
race.." Blacks were attending the
University at the time, and the
AAUP decided to lift the eight-year
censure.
Childhood hobby
U for sex bias
In response to the AAUP decision,
nterim President Dr. Wilford Bai-said
that "discussion of these
atters will not be proper since sim-lar
charges brought by a faculty
ember against the University are
urrently in litigation and will not
ome to trial for several months."
Bailey referred to the federal suit
in Montgomery by Dr. Lida
ayfield in 1981 after she was
denied tenure in the music depart­ment.
She had been teaching there
for 11 years, and tenure should come
after seven years, according to asso­ciation
and university guidelines.
The AAUP report said that the
administration violated the 1940
Statement of Principles on Aca­demic
Freedom and Tenure, which
governs the tenure process the Uni­versity
endorses.
Under the guidelines, Mayfield
should have been evaluated for
tenure during her sixth year, but
Mayfield was listed as a "tempor­ary"
employee by the University.
The AAUP said that Auburn often
uses that label to keep female
employees from being in positions
for tenure evaluation.
The AAUP report published in the
Academe focuses on the case of
Mayfield. The investigating com­mittee
said in the May-June issue
that Mayfield is one of 26 faculty
members who have been kept on the
Auburn faculty without tenure con­siderations.
Most of the faculty in
these cases were female, the AAUP

Taxidermist bucks parents, fulfills dream
By Jennifer Farrar
Plainsman Staffwriter
Everyone has a hobby of some
sort, but what makes Lynn Ham­mock
different is not only his 22-
year dedication to his childhood
hobby, but also the hobby
itself—taxidermy.
At 13, Hammock, an Auburn
native, saw an ad for a taxidermist
correspondence course in a maga­zine.
He applied for the course des­pite
his parent's disapproval; and
his diploma from the Northwestern
School of Taxidermy hangs on his
shop wall today.
Hammock has practiced taxi­dermy
for 22 years. He opened shop
on Wire Road about eight years ago.
Hammock, a post office employee,
says his work hours give him
enough time in the afternoon to tend
to his hobby.
The Auburn business graduate
receives most of his business from
locals, but says old college friends
have brought him deer to mount
from as far as Valdosta, Ga.
Hammock says business was
slack at first, averaging about 20
deer heads a year. This year, how­ever,
he has mounted 110 deer
heads.
Hammock keeps busy year-round.
In the fall and winter, he mounts
deer, fox, fowl, squirrels and what­ever
else customers bring in. In the
spring and summer, he usually
keeps busy stuffing bass and fowl.
With so much business, Ham­mock
has several helpers. Two
Auburn students, an Auburn meat
lab professor and a Dexter Lock
employee work with Hammock.
Tommy Knight from Birming­ham,
and Lane Knight, from
Gadsden, became interested in taxi­dermy
as a hobby in their early
teens as did Hammock.
Tommy Knight, a veterinary med­icine
senior, has worked with
Hammock since he was a freshman
seven years ago. He says he feels
taxidermy has helped him develop
better manual dexterity, which will
help him in animal surgery.
"It's an art," Knight says, "and
hopefully it looks good."
Lane Knight (not related to
Tommy Knight) is a junior in wild­life
management. He learned taxi­dermy
by taking the same corres­pondence
course tht Hammock did.
He began working with Ham­mock
last winter, after seeing
Hammock's sign on Wire Road.
Pete Brown, a professor at the
Auburn Meat Laboratory, is also
involved with helping at Ham­mock's
taxidermy shop.
Dana Morgan, a Dexter Lock
employee, has known Hammock for
10 years. He became interested in
taxidermy when he took his first
raccoon to Hammock to be stuffed
and mounted. He has helped Ham­mock
since then.
The men work in the back room of
the shop surrounded by plastic deer
forms, drying fish and long work
tables. The front of the shop is a
separate room, used to display
Hammock's handiwork. Deer heads
and an array of ducks are mounted
in various positions, and a huge tur­key
is posed ready-to-fly in one

corner. A wary muskrat poses on a
log opposite the turkey.
Some display sport ribbons,
awarded in this year's Alabama
Taxidermy Association Seminar.
Hammock explains there is no sin­gular
first place award, but entries
are awarded according to individual
artistry.
The average time spent mounting
a trophy depends on the animal
brought in, Hammock says. A deer
head would take about four hours,
and a bass would take about three
weeks, he says.
When Hammock receives a deer to
be mounted, the customer brings in
the head, neck and shoulders of the
deer. Usually, only the head is left
unskinned. Hammock skins, cleans
and washes the pelt, squeezes it dry
and then tumble-dries it in a dryer­like
machine partially filled with
sawdust. The pelt is then blown-dry
with an air hose and either kept in a
cooler for later work or slipped onto
a plastic form.
Fowl are treated the same way,
except, like bass and other fish, they
are stuffed with excelsior.
Fish, says Hammock, are the
most challenging to stuff next to the
turkey. Although the time varies
with the size of the fish, most bass
take about three weeks to complete.
The drying of the fish body's hull
takes the longest amount of time, he
says. After the insides are cleaned
out, the fish body is lined inside with
paper mache. It is then stuffed with
excelsior and a block of wood (for
mounting) and stitched up and left
to dry. Usually, the fish are
retouched with paint.
"You just don't make mistakes,"
Hammock says. He adds that it is
easier to correct a small rip on fowl
and pelts than on fish.
The hobby itself is as expensive as
the products used. Hammock says
he is satisfied with his products.
Good results come from using good
quality, he claims.
Having game displayed could cost
a hunter quite a bit if he hunts year
round. Hammock charges $150 to
mount a deer head, $65 for a bass,
depending on the size, $50 for a duck
and $75 to $250 for turkeys.
Each professor has taught at the
University for more than seven
years but is still considred tempor­ary.
Their contracts are renewed
each year.
Bailey has said the AAUP action
"should in no way be construed as
indicating discriminatory practice.
The censure of the University is
essentially based on a disagreement
over certain procedures in the
administration of the awarding of
faculty tenure."
The University, Bailey stated,
believes "It has been consistently
fair and equitable in the adminis­tration
of these policies." The poli­cies
are published in the Faculty
Handbook after approval by the
Board of Trustees.
Bailey said he believes the
recruitment of faculty will not be
"seriously inhibited, despite the
AAUP decision to publicize the
issue on a national scale."
It will be at least one year before
the University can be taken off cen­sure.
An investigating committee
will have to visit the University
again to see if the practices have
ceased, Paul Lemke, president of the
Auburn AAUP chapter said.

HERPES STUDY
BIRMINGHAM—Research­ers
at the University of Alabama
in Birmingham are seeking
volunteers to participate in a
study which will determine the
effectiveness of interferon in
treating people with genital
herpes.
The study, which has been
going on for six months needs
more volunteers. The ultimate
goal of the study is to discover a
prevention for the disease.
JOB CHANCES IMPROVE
BIRMINGHAM—The state's
unemployment rate has im­proved
in the past year, officials
said Monday. For the first time
since Alabama entered the reces­sion
in 1978, there has been a
year-to-year decrease in the job­less
rate.
In May, Alabama's unem­ployment
rate dropped to 12.9
percent, substantially lower than
the 13.7 percent jobless rate
recorded in April.

Committee urges student caution
By Missy Harris
Assistant News Editor
Recommendations by a special
committee, asking that Auburn stu­dents
reconsider the potential
impact of publicity created by their
actions while attending off-campus
University functions, have been
presented to Interim President Wil-ford
S. Bailey and three major cam­pus
organizations.
The special committee was
created amidst a profusion of con­flicting
and controversial reports
concerning the May 20 drowning of
an 18-year-old University student
and the behavior of thousands of
Auburn students vacationing that
day at Panama City Beach.
Discrepancies among the various
reports dealt with student vandali-zation
of hotel property and inter­ference
with an ambulance attempt­ing
to rescue drowning victim
Michael Todd Jenkins. There were
also accounts claiming that such
incidents had not occurred or were
reported inaccurately.
Committee chairman Peter Hend­erson,
assistant to the president,
noted that the May 20 crowd on
Panama City Beach included stu­dents
from universities in three
states. He said that "the size of the
crowd was a stimulus with regard to
the sensational aspect, plus the fact
that there was a death involved."
The combination of these factors,
Henderson stated, "caused it (the
drowning) to get more publicity
than an accident would if it had not
involved thousands of students."
Henderson said the five-member
committee investigated the circum­stances
surrounding these varied
accounts by talking with eyewit­nesses
and reading newspaper
accounts. The committee also con­sidered
several letters it received
pertaining to the incidents of May
20.
The committee consisted of Hend­erson,
Thomas Batt, president of the
I n t e r f r a t e r n i t y Council; Amy
Lummis, president of the Panhel-lenic
Council; David Herrick, SGA
president; and Dr. Pat Barnes, act­ing
Dean of Students.
Henderson said the committee's
purpose was not to declare the guilt
or innocence of any person or group
because it had not been established
Group rocks ambulance, four lined
that any wrong-doing actually took
place. He stated that seeking out
presumably guilty parties "would
have been tantamount to finding
people guilty without proper
inquiry."
The committee communicated to
the SGA, the IFC, and the Panhel-lenic
Council its requests for Uni­versity
organizations to be more
aware of their actions when they
plan or participate in future off-campus
functions.
"We certainly want to avoid
drownings. We certainly want to
avoid situations where students
would be accused of car theft...and
Auburn students placing them­selves
in a position whereby they
can become the targets of this kind
of sensational publicity," Hender­son
said.

Four Auburn students pleaded
guilty to disorderly conduct charges
after their arrests stemming from a
May 20 incident in which they
reportedly climbed on a city para­medic
vehicle and rocked it while it
was stopped at a South College
Street traffic light.
Michael Blythe, Frank Graham,
James Nikcevich and Fanklin
Pugh, only four of at least six people
involved in the incident, were each
fined $250.
Detective Joe Whittaker said the
students had been drinking, and
when the vehicle stopped, the stu­dents
thought rocking the vehicle
"was the right thing to do."
The misdemeanor carries a max­imum
penalty of $500 and six
months in jail.
The ambulance was not on emer­gency
call at the time of the incident.
"Several of them jumped on the
truck when I stopped at the light,"
Ronnie Garrett, ambulance driver,
testified.
"The truck was rocking to the
extent that the tires in the back were
rocking off the ground."
Garrett said at least six people
were responsible for the incident
which lasted "45 seconds to a min­ute."
He said he could only identify
four of the six offenders. They were
the four who pleaded guilty.
Ori<Hn«llv iRmalpq were charged
with rioting in the case, but the
charges against the other 11 were
dropped when the four pleaded
guilty to the lesser offense.
Judge Mike Williams yesterday
admonished the students saying,
"You had no right to ever even think
of jumping on that vehicle."
Attorney Jack Saint, representing
the defendants, said he thought the
fine was more severe than
necessary.
"I don't think the city had a case
except for these boys turning them­selves
in."
Saint, who had approached the
court with the proposal of having
the four plead guilty to disorderly
conduct, also requested they be
given 90 days to pay their fines.
Williams gave them 15 days.

AU students face felony charges
or drug dealing and possession
By Jill Payne
News Editor
Nine Auburn students were
arrested at the end of spring quarter
on felony charges ranging from the
possession of marijuana to the sale
of cocaine.
A six-month undercover drug
investigation by the Auburn Police
Department led to the arrests and
confiscation of an assortment of
drugs. Police moved to take the stu­dents
into custody before any
"graduated or left town," one officer
said.
The majority of those charged
with drug trafficking were arrested
Jtegtmring ai! 6:30 a.m. ou Ta&r,
May 31. More than 20 people were
arrested, the students included, and
all were between the ages of 20 and
25.
Seven persons were arrested for
possession of marijuana, but police
did not release their names because
the charges were misdemeanors.
The students charged in the fel­ony
arrests have cases pending
until September, Sgt. Bart Ingram
said. He added that he understands
"Some students are plea-argaining,
trying to plead out."
Students arrested, their ad­dresses,
and the charges made
against them are as follows:
Dana West, 138 Bragg Ave., sale
of cocaine and sale of marijuana;
James M. Webster, 275 Gentilly

Computer school blocks entrance
By Bryan Crowson
Plainsman Staffwriter
Students can no longer change
majors to computer science and
engineering (C.S.E.), because
transfer enrollment to the curricu­lum
has been halted.
The decision to limit the rapidly
growing enrollment to the newly
reorganized C.S.E. curriculum was
made in order to "keep the student-faculty
ratio reasonable," said Vic­tor
P. Nelson, associate professor of
electrical engineering.
Nelson added that students
already in the program will not be
affected. Only students who go
through the pre-engineering curric­ulum
and meet the engineering
school's G.P. A. requirements will be
allowed into the program unless
there are "extenuating circumstan­ces,"
Nelson said.
Next year there may be standards
set for the C.S.E. curriculum above
those of the School of Engineering,
he said.
Computer courses, formerly
taught jointly by the electrical engi­neering
and the industrial engineer­ing
department, are now all consi­dered
C.S.E. courses and are taught
by the electrical engineering
department.
There have been three computer
degrees offered: computer science,
computer engineering with software
emphasis, and computer engineer­ing
with hardware emphasis. The
software and hardware distinction
has been dropped, so now there will
only be the computer science and
computer engineering degrees.
Nelson said that mostly senior-level
courses are affected by the
reorganization, and seniors are now
being met with to see how they can
finish the program with minimal
problems.
Nelson, who was chairman of the
Curriculum Committee, said the
new curriculum is similar to the
model curricula set by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engi­neering
in 1983 and the Association
for Computer Machinery in 1978, so
Auburn's C.S.E. program will be
comparable to any in the nation.
Nelson said the curriculum
change has been discussed for more;
than a year and a half, and was put
in effect now because the School of
Engineering faces an accreditation
review this fall.
"I think we're in pretty good shape
for the accreditation visit now," he
said.
There are currently about 1000
students enrolled in electrical engi­neering
and 540 in computer science
and engineering, Nelson said.
If the present rate of enrollment
continues, he said, computer science
and engineering will have more
than 1000 students enrolled in a
year and a half.

being tested at 21 airports across the
U.S. The only other airport in the
Southeast to get the system is at
Panama City. Fla.
John Ferguson, technical assis­tant
at the airport, said the system
will be installed within the next 60
days, and if the experiment is suc­cessful,
600 to 900 systems will be
installed at airports across the
country over the next five years.
"We're in a good location in the
middle of the Sunbelt and we're on
good relations with the FAA.
They've helped us out a lot," Fergu­son
said of Auburn's selection for
the test.
The system features a computer
synthesized voice which informs
pilots of various conditions such as
runway visibility.
Escorts postpone
service until fall
The Eagle Escort service win not
be offering its services this summer,
said Cathy Judkins, acting director
of Student Safety for the SGA.
The service was organized winter
quarter to serve as a protection for
female students walking on campus
at night. The escorts will again be
available in the fall, Judkins said.
Jim Hendrick, the airport opera­tions
manager, said the system will
complement a $300,000 naviga­tional
device the FAA installed in
late April. The device, an instru­ment
landing system, directs pilots
to within a few feet of the runway's
center line by using a directional
radio beam. •
The airport had relied on naviga­tional
systems transmitting signals
from Tuskegee and Columbus, Ga.,
which only steered pilots to within a
half-mile of the airport, Hendrick
said.
Ferguson said the airport
recorded 47,000 takeoffs and land­ings
last year. About 40 percent
were industry-related by aircraft
operated by such corporations as
Uniroyal, Sunnyland and Wendy's.
During Auburn football week­ends,
the National Guard supplies
additional air traffic control per­sonnel
and a portable tower to assist
with the increased traffic of Auburn
alumni.
Ferguson said the three-pronged
improvement program will greatly
improve safety.

increase to $360 per quarter, an
increase of $30. Out-of-state fees will
increase to $830, an increase of $70.
The exception will be veterinary
students, who will pay $460 if in­state
and $1,060 if out-of-state resi­dents.
In-state students at the
Montgomery campus will pay $20
more in tuition, and out-of-state stu­dents
will pay $50 more.
Tuition was raised by the trustees
to accommodate the ever-rising
expenses of the university's opera­tions.
Increases in student housing
rates will also occur.

No excuse!
The Panama City Beach incident
was unfortunate. The Auburn "riot"
incident was inexcusable. It is bad
enough when the press accuses
Auburn unjustly, but when the
criticisms and reports are accurate and
deserving, there is nothing else to be
said.
No amount of friendliness and
harping about "the loveliest village on
the plain" can make up for the foolish
actions of a few.
Currently the administration is
frantically trying to redeem Auburn's
tarnished reputation. It has set up a
special committee to encourage
students to consider the impact their
actions have on the University's
image.
Dry frat rush
The Interfraterriity Council's recent
action to make rush dry is commenda­ble;
however, their method of obtain­ing
the ruling is questionable. Only
after calling a meeting on short notice
and then voting 6n such an important
issue with only a slight quorum, was
the IFC able to pass the motion with
relatively little opposition. Two of the
bigger fraternities on campus were
absent from the meeting and another
two expressed their opposition to the
measure. Nevertheless, the motion
passed and another chapter in
Auburn's Greek history was written.
The reason for the new rule was to
improve the image of fraternities on
campus. One should, however, ques­tion
the sincerity of this ruling.
Although encouraging brothers to be
more creative with their rushing tech­niques
through the abstention of alco­hol
is admirable, one has to wonder at
the hypocracy of just such a measure.
Dry rush means that no alcohol will
be served at any formal rush function.
Therefore, when the naive freshman
rushee sees the wonderfully sober
R.C., "hang it up"
How sad it is that students have to be
reprimanded by the administration.
One would think that by the time an
individual reaches college he would
have matured enough to be responsible
for his actions. Apparently, this is not
the case.
The most deplorable aspect of this,
u n f o r g i v a b l e incident was its
imitiation of the inaccurate reports
stemming from the earlier Panama
City Beach accident.
In the future, let us hope that a tragic
accident no longer becomes the model
for "the thing to do." But as for now,
the actions of a few will remain the
criterion for juding Auburn's image for
years to come.
atmosphere presented by fraternities
throughout rush, and then pledges the
fraternity of his choice, the chances are
he will have a rude awakening come
Friday when rush is over and his new
fraternal home throws a blow-it-out,
wild and drunken party. What then is
he to expect? The peer pressure that
encourages drinking will remain, yet
the fraternity's short-lived, clean-cut
veneer will have been scratched off.
Perhaps dry rush will promote a bet­ter
image for Auburn's fraternities-but
w.as the old one all that bad?
There are many other schools across
the nation which also have dry frater­nity
rush so the idea is nothing new.
So, apparently this action was
totally initiated by the IFC. There is no
foreseeable threat that the legal age in
Alabama will be raised from 19 to 21
years of age. As of now, it is not even up
for a vote in the state capitol; and if it
was, reliable sources in the legislature
believe it would not pass. So this
unwarrantable action is the sole deci­sion
of the IFC.
It's time "to hang it up," state Sen.
Ted Little told trustee R.C. "Red"
Bamberg at the state Senate commit­tee's
public hearing on nominees to
Auburn's board of trustees. Perhaps he
was right.
After serving the University for 23
years on Auburn's board, Bamberg
has completed his usefulness in a lead­ership
capacity. New leadership is now
required to continue healing Auburn
from the Funderburk controversey.
Not only is energetic leadership
needed to propel Auburn into the
future, but a keen understanding of the
University is necessary as well. A new
trustee in constant contact with the
University and with the problems
faced by Auburn needs to be in this
prominent position.
Now, with the presidential search
and the pending accreditation, Auburn
needs to continue this change and
introduce new blood into the leader­ship
capacity of the board.
Bamberg's chances for reappoint­ment
are fairly secure; and, unfortu- w
nately, his reelection as vice chairman
equally so, due to his influence over
many of the other trustees.
Three of the trustees, John Denson,
Morris Savage and Frank Samford
tried to pass a motion which would
replace Bamberg as vice chairman
with Henry Steagall. The motion was
defeated by Robert Lowder, James
Tatum, U.S. Rep. Bill Nichols and
Michael McCartney. Several trustees
were absent from the June 7 meeting,
however, there will be enough votes
lined up for Bamberg, Little believes.
His confirmation will be carried by
Senators from outside Auburn who see
the issue differently than those of us on
the inside. And once reappointed, he
will probably serve again as the leader
of the trustees.
Now is not the time for stagnant
leadership. Auburn does not need con­tinued
confrontation between the
faculty and the trustees. Only though
dynamic leadership from the trustees
can Auburn progress to meet the needs
of the future.
Samford's bells

< How good it is to hear again the caril­lon
in Samford bell tower chiming the
hour and then playing a song that
drifts across the campus. The carillon
was recently repaired after a year of
inactivity. Now, five minutes after
noon, 5 and 10 p.m. the bells play two of
several selections.
According to Dr. Wayne T. Moore of
the music department, the carillon
broke down sometime last summer and
was repaired at the end of spring. He
added, the problem was that the C

Now, however, the carillon is fixed

Reagan, Thatcher: what a pair
After reading the June 20 issue of Time
magazine, several correlations between
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's re­election
and the possible re-election of Pres­ident
Ronald Reagan come to mind. Not
only is the conservation trend in ^Europe
through the election of West Germany's
Chancellor Helmut Kohl and the growing
opposition against France's Socialist
Prime Minister Francois Mitterrand
encouraging to conservatives in this coun­try,
but equally encouraging for Reagan's
prospects of re-election.
In Britain, the populace had to choose
between a right wing conservative, a
socialist and a moderate fledgling. If Rea­gan
runs for re-election, his Democratic
opposition will either be the socialist Wal­ter
Mondale or the popular hero John
Glenn, Jr.
Interestingly enough, Reagan*s probable
platform will be extremely comparable to
Thatcher's. Thatcher's Tory Party called
for no inflationary spending to falsely
stimulate the economy, the continuation of
maintaining nuclear missies and a reform
in the trade unions. Reagan is certain to
continue cutting inflationary spending,
emphasizing the military and reforming
the labor unions.
Both Reagan and Thatcher present
themselves well, dress impressively, speak
articulately and take full advantage of
their Victorian morals of hard work, self-determination
and a devout sense of duty.
Both are dynamic and knowledgeable yet
not afraid to take a stand on current issues.
Reagan and Thatcher are leaders. They
recognize the communist threat to freedom
and realize the necessity of maintaining
strong defense against such threats. Both
have taken strong stands on the economy
in order to improve it despite having the
highest unemployment since the Great
Depression.
Thatcher brought inflation down from 22
percent in 1980 to four percent currently
and Reagan cut inflation in half to where it
now stands at six percent. Both have
reduced taxes and sharply cut public
spending. Prime lending rates have gone
down since they were elected, and the
mortgage rate dropped from 15 percent in
1980 to the current 10 percent in Britain
and in the U.S. it now averages at 13 per­cent
from the 1981 peak of 18 percent.
Not only do the two politicians have a lot
in common, but so do their respective polit­ical
parties as well. Originally the party of
the aristocracy and landed gentleman, the
Tory Party now claims the support of Bri­tain's
middle class; and it is the same in the
U.S., for where the Republicans once
represented the "Grand Old Party" of the
North and the "silk stocking districts" of
the South, it now boasts the support of
middle America. Both parties depend on
voting from the suburbs, yet they have
retained their traditional voting areas.
Their apposition is another story, how­ever.
In Britain, the Labor Party (the most
formidable opposition in the past,) held on
to its traditional socialistic policies: those
of billions spent on governmental job pro­grams
and nationalization of important
industries. The Democrats, although
endorsing governmental job programs, are
not yet stupid enough to call for the nation­alization
of the industries; however, they
do clamor for increasing governmental
regulation which is the next best thing.
Mondale is this kind of a Democrat. Glenn
may be a bit of a progressive with his lib­eral
stands on abortion yet he is not enough
of a politician to win the Democratic
nomination.
So where does this leave Reagan? If he
follows Thatcher's lead and continues his
hard-lined stands, (refusing to back down
on such issues as federal spending and the
national defense,) he will only further mold
himself to America's conservative middle
class. This will leave the Democrats with
the choice of running a Michael Footish-
Mondale or (their best bet,) John-"not a
politician"-Glenn. All Reagan has to do is
"stay the course" for 1984, and he has it
made.

Plastic City Beach slowly decaying
At the National Affairs desk, we didn't
partake in the festivities in Panama City
Beach, since we honestly didn't think our
travel vouchers would be honored. So, in
the spirit of investigative Gonzo
journalism, a crack team of one Plainsman
reporter swarmed over Panama City Beach
during the break to gain his own
impression of the "excitement spot of the
South."
All roads lead to Panama City—the City
of Light.
Also, the city of crumbling stucco, greasy
spoons and asphalt. Underneath a thin
veneer of a "fun spot" lurks a vacationer's
nightmare, a beachfront of third-rate dirt-bag
motels, exorbitant prices and
indigenous personnel seemingly dedicated
to the harassment of the area's primary
income source.
Simply cruising down the main drag, the
"Miracle strip," (appropriately named-it's
a miracle any semi-literate beings stop
at this cheap Disneyland imitation), is a
revealing experience. I don't think any
highway maintenance has been performed
since the "big blow" a few years ago.
Maybe in 1965 this was a nice drive, but
today you get the feeling you're driving
through a rapidly decaying inner city.
With few exceptions, the buildings are
too close together and decrepit; the streets
are filthy and there is no grass—only
asphalt. The ambiance is actually
reminiscent of the girl you pick up five
minutes before the bar closes—she may be
something in your drunken revelries, but in
the light of day, she's just a ragged-out
prematurely old hag with hard lines
around her face and a beer gut.
The nightclub atmosphere is Late
American plastic, with linoleum trim and a
cute sign tattooed on the back. Even the
"good" nightspots are designed to force-feed
the hapless entrant with too-loud
music and watered down liquor and a
phenomenon indigenous to plastic-pleasure
resorts—surly waitresses who
expect a dollar tip for a two-buck too-weak
drink. When this mutant strain is stiffed, it
ignores you the rest of the night.
Panama City Beach on a Friday night—
impossible to drive faster than 20 mph
because of the roads and, for lack of a better
word, the "good ole boys", hurrying to the
oyster bars and country music hangouts to
check the latest arrivals. Friday night in
Panama City Beach is existential
hedonism, with blatant examples of inbred
white trash driving late model dragsters,
young toughs trying to look so-o-o bad and
idiots like myself wondering what
demented notion could possibly have led
them to this cold and desolate stretch of
sand.
Panama City Beach on a Friday night-eateries
serving such delicacies as "finger
likken' chicken", pizza con grease and,
what seems to be the new craze, Mexican
"food".
Eateries crowded with faceless
youngsters, eyes glazed over, ritualistically
stomping to the over-amplified, distorted
sound emanating from the various
"pleasure parlors"—video arcades, wax
museums and putt-putt golf courses. .
Maybe if you're lucky, you'll get a
helicopter ride over the gulf or be able to
vent your frustrations speeding around a
miniature track strapped in a vicious five-horsepower
monster go-cart.
Boy, what fun.
No Dorothy, we're not in Kansas
anymore and Panama City Beach is no El
Dorado.
It is a cheap, formica-topped, money-gouging
tourist trap that has captured the
imaginations of high school students who
make the hegira for beer, the casual sex and
the excitement of being away from home
and, maybe, of legal age.
Possibly the only redeeming factor about
Panama City Beach is the beach itself—the
white sand, the waves rolling in and the
families on vacation, adults and young
children enjoying themselves by picking
up shells, swimming and surf fishing.
I personally am not going to worry about
the bad publicity Auburn University
received for an unfortunate incident,
because the criticism of Panama City
Beach is as absurd as Leon Spinks as
Secretary of State.
Till next time, the National Affairs desk
signing off.

Opinion
No one listened
They wanted to take a stand.
Others might have stayed in the hack-ground,
away from the issues, allowing a
few to represent the multitude, letting a few
make the decisions for them.
But these 60 black protesters began a
week-long, 330-mile "Sacred Rights Pil­grimage"
from Eufaula to Montgomery.
They marched to promote increased black
voter registration and to protest police kill­ings
in Alabama.
But no one took them seriously.
In Eufaula, where two young brothers
were killed by police officers, the marchers
were ignored both by the citizens and the
press.
In Phenix Citya black minister told them
to get off the street and into the church if
they wanted to do something about racial
tension between police and blacks.
In Opelik»,the march was disrupted by a
man attempting to drive through the
crowd, almost hitting a woman.
And in Montgomery, where the police
have had violent encounters with blacks
during the past four months, a cross was
burned in the front yard of a Montgomery
black leader. A local Ku Klux Klan leader
even predicts a lot of violence in the near
future, maintaining that the black move­ment
is backed by the communists.
The "Sacred Rights" march was not
unlike the 1965 civil rights march led by
Martin Luther King Jr. from Selma to
Montgomery. In 1965, the entire nation
anxiously watched as blacks strove for bet­terment
of their race.
The issues are still the same. Blacks are
still seeking to register more voters and
promote more representative elections,
goals all Alabamians should advocate.
Though the marchers were concerned
with the police killings of blacks, possible
police negligence of any kind is not a mat­ter
to be taken lightly.
This issue at least had one supporter.
State Rep. Alvin Holmes of Montgomery
praised state troopers and county officials,
but said "some officers on the Montgomery
police force are rotten to the core."
In past years, Southern Blacks have
fought hard to gain the rights and recogni­tion
that they deserve, that any race
deserves. I thought we were getting closer
to the time when blacks and whites could
live compatibly in the same state, a time
when prejudice was no longer a prime
motive for behavior.
From reactions to the "Sacred Rights"
march last week, it seems as though we
may have taken a step backwards.
Even worse, we may have evolved into an
apathetic creature which sits idly on the
sidelines, immune to the protests, demon­strations
and public outcries which have
been effective in the past.
In November, George Wallace drew 87
percent of the Alabama black vote. These
voters must have believed he had changed
his racial policies since 1963 when he stood
in the doorway of a schoolhouse and tried
to prevent blacks from getting an equal
education.
When the 1,200 people marched to the
state Capitol last Friday, Wallace wasn't
even there.
Fetus's right to die
Recently, the Supreme Court struck
down a set of state and local government
regulations that could have made abor­tions
much harder to obtain. Right-to-lifers
saw this as a blow against their movement
to make abortions illegal nationwide.
The right-to-lifers continue to cry out
their message of a mother's obligation to
birth a baby, ignoring mitigating circum­stances.
While incest and rape are nor­mally
acceptable excuses for abortion,
financial or emotional reasons are not.
Right-to-lifers continue to beat the drum of
the right a baby has to live, but it makes me
wonder of another right—a fetus's right to
die.
Euthanasia, while still an explosive sub­ject,
is becoming a part of this nation's con-ciousness.
Living wills are more and more
under public scrutiny, most of the time,
favorably. People are beginning to recog­nize
a person's right to die when suffering
and pain is all that they have to look for­ward
to.
I don't believe this right should be con­fined
to the sick and infirmed, but should
extend to the unborn fetus as well. If we can
allow people to end their agony when all
hope is lost, we should allow people to stop
that agony before it even starts.
Anti-abortion laws would force almost
all children to be born, regardless the pain
the baby would suffer when it reached this
world. The handicaps, financial or emo­tional
problems that may come with an
unwanted child, are not considered, only
the parents obligation to raise a baby.
Isn't it time we consider a fetus's right to
die when suffering is all that it has to look
forward to? Shouldn't we continue to allow
the family to decide what is best for it?
When parents make the difficult decision to
abort a fetus, many of them are doing it out
of love for the unborn. They may realize
that they don't have enough to offer the
baby and wish to end its pain before it
begins.
An old cliche says that this is a troubled
world, and cliche or not, it's true. Forcing
parents to bring umwanted children into it
can only help make the problem worse.
Ignoring the obvious dilemma of over­population,
think instead of the hostile
environment the child will grow up in. Re­sentment
and hate may follow an
unwanted birth, with the parents taking
out their frustration is on the baby. Child
abuse is an ugly thing. Instead of forcing
parents to continue an unwanted preg­nancy,
let them abort the fetus and avoid a
bad future.
I am not an advocate of abortion, but of
pro-choice. If parents know in advance that
they have nothing to offer a child or their
emotional or physical make-up prevents
them from giving a baby the love and
attention it needs, let them have at least the
option of abortion. Only by keeping this
option open can we stop suffering, before it
begins.

Auburn's always the same
What was that number?
Have you ever been away from home for
several months, returned and noticed how
much things have changed? Watching
towns I've lived in grow from a time-elapsed
vantage point has held my fascina­tion
for some time.
It seems that I've always awaited change
anxiously. Possibly this anxiety came from
a childhood fear I had of coming home from
summer camp and finding a sign on the
front door of the house which read "Moved;
Left No Forwarding Address."
Just how fast things can change hit me
the last time I was home. Needing a small,
common tool I went to a local auto parts
store; they didn't have it. I went next door
to another auto parts store only to find that
it was now a furniture store. The next store
I went to had somehow become a U.S. Post
Office.
In a state of great distress I set off to the
Handy Dan on the other side of town. Upon
arrival I discovered that the Handy Dan
had been transformed into a Handy Home-crafters
of some sort which, oddly enough,
was virtually the same store except for the
fact that they no longer carried the part I

Moonies not what believed to be
Editor, The Plainsman,
In response to the letter entitled "Moon­ies
Face Prejudice" I would like to offer the
following information. Are the authors,
Janet and Cecil Robbins, and Plainsman
readers aware that the Unification Church
(Moonies) is a religious cult? A cult is
defined as a religious organization tending
to be outside the mainstream of the
dominant religious forms of any given
society. The leader of this cult, Rev. Moon,
has declared himself "Lord of the Second
Advent," the modern Messiah, because he
claims that Jesus visited him and gave him
special insight and wisdom. According to
Moon, Jesus was a sinless man whose
tragic crucifixion prevented him from
finding the perfect mate and founding
God's perfect family on earth. Moon
believes that he was born to accomplish
this purpose, thus achieving man's
physical as well as spiritual salvation.
Chris Elkins, an ex-Moonie, in his book,
"Heavenly Deception," states that many
people are swept into the "Moonie"
experience, impressed by the love that its
members share. There is "a good deal of
indoctrination, lots of teaching, and even a
reorientation of values and authority...."
"Moonies" are taught "to doubt their
parents, mistrust their love, and to consider
them motivated by Satan." Another book,
"Youth, Brainwashing and the Extremist
Cults," by Ronald M. Enroth, states that all
ex-members of the "Moonies" report some
type of sensory deprivations—usually food
and sleep. The book also discloses the
affluent lifestyles of Moon and the
impoverished existence of his followers.
I believe that these are enough examples
to justify peoples' concern of this group.
The authors of the letter speak of
"ignorance and prejudice." I believe the
prejudice in this case comes from
knowledge, not ignorance. In closing may I
add that individuals in our society have
stretched our constitutional rights of
religious freedom and speech beyond their
limits. It is no wonder that many of our
citizens are confused as to what's right and
wrong, a problem stemming from the
permissiveness that has developed due to
distortion of these rights. It's time we
stopped compromising our morals and
good sense.

'79
needed. After I finally found the part I was
looking for (at an auto parts store which
had previously been a beauty school) I
made my way back home.
Driving through suburbia I noticed the
sprawl continued to grow at a slightly fas­ter
pace than the Kudzu. The acrid smell of
diesel fumes floated on the cool spring air
as the ground was being broken for several
swimming pools which were being
installed in the neighborhood. A few child­ren
were busily trying to break the toys
they had gotten for Christmas and, of
course, all the dogs within the vicinity were
trying to run under the wheels of my car.
So, I'll have to admit it was nice to get
back to Auburn. Ah, fair Auburn, where
nothing changes. Sure, we get some
changes here; a new restaurant or a bar, a
shop or two, an occasional president now
and again, but it's usually fairly quiet.
Maybe that's what gives Auburn its own
special appeal.
Yes it's good to be back, it's good to return
to this friendly atmosphere. It's good to see
people I've known casually for the last cou­ple
of years. Just the other day I ran into
someone .1 hadn't seen in quite some time.
"It's good to see you," they said. "How have
you been?...glad to hear it. Give me your
number so we can get together and do
something." I replied that I didn't have a
telephone. "Well, I've got to run. What was
that number again?"
Yes, things are still the same.
Pedestrians
Beware
Editor, The Plainsman,
I would like to say thank you to Robby
Russell who wrote to you concerning
pedestrian safety and speed limits on
campus. Robby wrote of the accident that
occurred May 5,1983, in the crosswalk on
Thach Street. I am the victim of that
accident and I once again want to remind
drivers and pedestrians alike t h at
crosswalks are created as designated areas
for pedestrians to cross the street, and to
approach these and all crosswalks with
extreme caution.
A broken nose, leg, and scars on my face,
I consider myself lucky to be here writing
this letter for the next victim (maybe
someone reading this now) may not be so
lucky.
Action needs to be taken that will insure
the safety of students in this congested
area on Thach Street. I propose that the
area on Thach, from Haley Center to the
War Eagle Cafeteria be CLOSED to traffic.
This could allow traffic to continue to the
area of the Social Center, but more
important, give students an area to cross
without interference of traffic. How much
would it cost to close the street? I ask, how
can we measure the life of an individual in
dollars? I hope that the proper authorities
will please consider this proposal. Also I
would like to thank Keith Browning and
the others who rendered aid at the accident
until paramedics arrived.
Until such time that action is taken on
the above recommendation, PEDESTRI­ANS
BEWARE!
Sincerely,
Randy Talley
Eskew mistaken on South African opinion
Editor, The Plainsman,
Looking around the world over, one is
likely to see that there are certain policy
issues which require very careful study and
a good understanding before one continues
to exercise his feelings on paper for the pub­lic
to read. The South Africa issue is one of
such. It should not be treated with senti­ment;
it needs a more realistic approach
than the angle from which Eskew viewed it
in his article in the Plainsman on May 12.
The violation of human rights in South
Africa is beyond comparison with violation
of human rights in any "average commu­nist
country." In South Africa it is a ques­tion
of the denial of fundamental (basic)
human rights. To be more specific, the
question is the denial of participation by
blacks in the political and economic affairs
of the country in which they comprise the
majority. To me, the question is not why the
white minority rules, but rather, why the
minority rulers deny the majority of one of
the greatest human rights (right to vote) in
a country where democracy is the popular
slogan of "the power that rules."
To see Africans in Africa begging or
fighting for their rights of political and
economic participation is more than
ridiculous—it is unfair. Their right to vote
should be automatic. If the minority could
convince the majority and win their votes
in a fair and free election and thereby
become the ruler, who cares?
Eskew's characterization of South Africa
as the richest, most stable nation in Africa
with the highest per capita income is
totally irrelevant to the problem the con­gress
of the U.S. and others are aiming at
solving.
Eskew's claim that hundreds of Africans
fleeing the communist north and trying to
emigrate to South Africa is a distortion of
the facts. He failed to acknowledge that
thousands of people have fled and are still
fleeing South Africa to become refugees in
the north. I know of many African coun­tries
with special amounts in their annual
budgets to cater to the South African
refugees.
I would like Eskew and the public as well
to know that Prime Minister P.W. Botha's
administration has yet to make any signif­icant
headway in desegregation.
Toward the end of April, President Mit­terrand
of France directly ordered the
French Rugby Federation to call off its tour
of South Africa. According to the president,
the reason for the government's decision
was "the racial discrimination that affects
the populations of South Africa, particu­larly
athletes."
On April 27, it was reported that the
leader of the opposition party in South
Africa, Dr. F. Van Zyl Slabbert, said he and
his party would support the envisaged ref­erendum
on a new constitution, provided it
would be seen as a "step in the right direc­tion."
Dr. Slabbert went further to say that
"his party would consider a compromise on
the question as long as it was understood
that his party prepared to condone per­manent
exclusion of blacks from the poli­tics
of South Africa." "We refuse to allow
any form of racism," Dr. Slabbert said.
In his marathon speech to the assembly
on April 21, Botha showed no sign of dese­gregation
whatsoever. Instead, the prime
minister is looking toward the "demise of
Westminster parliamentary system" in
South Africa. The major setback of this
system in plural societies is its winner-take-all
structure, which enables one group to
dominate all others, as is presently the case
in South Africa. This system is question­able
because it is not yet clear how the new
constitutional proposals will transform a
system of group domination into one of
genuine power-sharing-—the key issue in
South Africa.
Of course, Botha made it clear in the
assembly that he preferred the term co-responsibility
to power-sharing. These are
the headways made in desegregation in
South Africa in Eskew's opinion.
Eskew should consider this situation:
how would he feel if the U.S. were ruled by
one of its minority groups to the extent that
the ruling minority possessed the power to
refrain the white majority from voting. It
would be best if Eskew would reconsider
what democracy really means and try to
put sentiment aside.
Why distort the facts? Why not employ
the truth and win the devil? ABC News
tried its best to tell the world in plain words
what is going on in South Africa. These
newscasters are Americans like Eskew, but
unlike him, they tried to find the facts and
reported the facts to the public.
The nations to the north of South Africa
recognize the relative military built-up by
South Africa. It constitutes a threat to
them. In order to fight "fire" with "fire," if
need be, turning communist is their next
alternative.
The earlier actions are taken to correct
Botha and his colleagues, the better. It
should be realized that almost all African
states (if not all) are against the apartheid
regime of South Africa, and most of them
are ready to sacrifice anything for their
South African dreams to come true. In such
instances, turning communist cannot be
totally ruled out.
I think Eskew should now realize that the
action of the U.S. Congress is not based on
sentiment; neither is it based on the wealth
of South Africa. It has nothing to do with
the per capita income. They have studied
the situation and have come to realize the
"secret of playing a part —." It should also
be noted that it is not "rugby that France
wants to see free from racism, but South
African societies." Here"lies the gross devi­ation
from the real issues confronting the
populace of South Africa by Mr. Glenn
Eskew.
As Eskew sees the enforcement of eco­nomic
sanctions against South Africa as
ridiculous, so too do many Africans see the
denial of political and economic rights to
Africans in Africa as absurd, ridiculous
and unbearable. Something must be done
to provide the rights to the right people in
their right place—Africans in Africa.

Dupree takes ^ - , f . . ^ , .,»-*-.« -. lessons from S outhem Mississippi, Texas test Tigers early
Herschelwell r r ° J
By Mike Marshall
Sports Editor
With thoughts of a national
championship dancing in the minds
of Auburn fans, the natural inclina­tion
would be to see how Auburn
stacks up against traditional neme­sises
Georgia and Alabama. Not
this year.
Try comparing Auburn's 22 with
Southern Mississippi's and Texas',
Auburn's first two opponents. The
reason is simple. If a national
championship is the goal, then
impressive victories against two
formidable foes to start the year are
crucial in order to make an impres­sion
on the people who cast votes in
the major wire service polls.
The task for Auburn will not be
easy. Southern Mississippi and
Texas each have a strong nucleus of
players to build upon. Southern
Mississippi, which lost only 15 let-termen
off last year's 7-4 squad, has
one of the most explosive running
attacks in the South. On the other
hand, Texas has a defense that will
be one of the country's stingiest.
However, both teams have suf­fered
key losses. Southern Missis­sippi
will be without quarterback
Reggie Collier, a player who the
Golden Eagles have built their
offense around the last three years.
'Collier was the only player in
NCAA history to rush and pass for
more than 1,000 in a season as he
accumulated 2,009 yards total
offense in 1981. Last year, he needed
only 107 more yards rushing to
accomplish the same feat.
Texas' primary losses were on
offense. Like Southern Mississippi,
Texas lost its starting quarterback.
Robert Brewer, who led the Long-horns
to a Cotton Bowl victory over
Alabama, will be sorely missed
because of his leadership ability.
Texas also lost tailback Darrell
Clark, the Longhorns' leading
rusher last year with more than
1,000 yards, and top receiver Herkie
Walls.
On defense, Texas didn't lose
much, but one player who's gone,
defensive end Kiki DeAyala, a terror
in the Longhorns' final two games
against Arkansas and North Carol­ina,
will be a big loss. He was the
team's second leading tackier.
For the last week, the sports pages
have been dotted with stories about
what Oklahoma running back Mar­cus
Dupree said in Sports
Illustrated.
"It's not true," says Dupree.
"I know Marcus said those things
and that's good enough for me,"
says Douglas Looney, the Sports
Illustarted reporter who wrote the
story.
What did Dupree say to make a
bunch of Okies more riled up than a
herd of wild horses?
"I think I'll play this year (at
Oklahoma)," Dupree is quoted as
saying, "but it could be my last.
Coach Switzer says I don't practice
well. The problem is, it's not like
high school...At Oklahoma, it's not
fun."
Dupree said a lot more, like how
he's had enough of Switzer, but the
above quote was enough to get
Sooner fans stirring. Marcus can
say all the bad things he wants
about Switzer as far as they're con­cerned
since stories about Switzer's
social life are as plentiful in Okla­homa
as oil wells, but to say Okla­homa's
not fun, to take a slap at the
University, is too much.
Why the discontentment, they
ask? After all, Dupree received just
about every award at Oklahoma as
a freshman, including being named
co-winner of an award given to the
freshman athlete who, in addition to
his athletic prowess, demonstrates
potential excellence in academics.
(Dupree carries a 2.23 cumulative
average.)
He'll also be the proud owner of
two oil fields and half of the city of
Tulsa after he wins the Heisman
Trophy this year. So how come the
griping? Is it an act?
I don't think it is. Rumors about
Dupree's desire to transfer have
been rampant for months. One story
even had him coming to Alabama, a
school he never seriously considered
when he was being recruited. But
stories about Switzer's disgust for
Dupree's penchant for injury have
been even more widespread. No
matter what anybody says, there's
something to this business.
The whole situation reminds me
of a scene from a movie where Jack
Nicholson is trying to steal his best
friend's girlfriend.
"I like to speak in codes," Nichol­son
says to her. "I say one thing,
and it really means something else."
Well, Marcus Dupree is playing
Jack Nicholson's game. He must
have seen the movie, too. In trying
to defend himself Dupree is really
talking in codes.
For example, Dupree told an
Associated Press writer, "I felt like I
was misled (by Looney). I thought
this was going to be a positive arti­cle,
but it seems like he was trying to
get back at Switzer for something. I
can't understand it."
What Marcus is really saying here
is "I really do hate Switzer. I told
that guy not to print those things
and everytime I've said that before,
all those writers have done like I've
asked them."
"Just because this Looney guy is
from Sports Illustrated, he thinks he
can print anything. Where does he
get off doing that? I got rights, too.
Besides, this was supposed to be free
Heisman Trophy publicity."
The simple fact that a magazine
the stature of Sports Illustrated is

Eagles will have an explosive running game of their own, led by
former Auburn back Sam DeJarnette, when they come to Auburn
Photography: Tom Palmer
September 10. Although Southern Mississippi lost quarterback
Reggie Collier and six defensive starters, they're expected to be as
strong as last year's 7-4.
Yet, both teams have enough hold­overs
from last year and some out­standing
freshmen to compensate
for the losses.
Southern Mississippi plans on
junior Ronnie Ducksworth, Collier's
second cousin, to take over at quar­terback.
Ducksworth doesn't pos­sess
an outstanding arm, but he is
said to have the quickness neces­sary
to blend in with Southern's
powerful ground game.
The Golden Eagles have two Ala­bama
natives waiting to take over
should Ducksworth fail. Freshman
red-shirt Andrew Anderson, from
Birmingham's Carver High School,
and recruit Tommy Compton of
Vigor, recently named Alabama's
"Mr. Football" will compete for
playing time.
There is no doubt about Southern
Mississippi's running back situa­tion.
Former Auburn back Sam
DeJarnette returns after finishing
second in the nation in all-purpose
running last year. He also finished
fifth in rushing with 140.5 yards per
game. At fullback, last year's third
leading rusher, Clenon Thomas,
also returns.
In addition, Southern Mississippi
recruited two of the top backs in the
South. Ronnie Ducksworth, consi­dered
one of the nation's top high
school runners last year, and Vin­cent
Alexander, a 5-foot-9, 190-
pound speedster, will give
DeJarnette relief at tailback.
The backs should have no trouble
finding holes to run through since
eight lettermen return at the in terior
line posts.
On defense, Southern lost five
starters, including three defensive
linemen. However, they do return
noseguard Jerald Bayliss who gave
Auburn fits in last year's 21-19
Auburn victory. Bayliss led South­ern
Mississippi in tackles with 102.
The other returning defensive line­man,
Robert Byrd, the team's
second leading tackier last year, has
been moved from end to tackle.
The secondary is in much better
shape with only one starter gone.
Linebacker should be a strong area
as well, since one starter returns and
the other projected starter, Greg Kel-ley,
is a senior who was granted
hardship status after suffering a
foot injury in last year's Auburn
game.
Texas does not have the speed
that Southern Mississippi has on
offense, but they do have big play
potential.
Where the Longhorns will likely
put points on the board is through
the air, something new for the
school which introduced the Wish­bone
offense. While Todd Dodge, the
number one quarterback at the end
of spring drills, completed only 9 of
20 passes last year, he is known to
have a fine arm. His high school sta­tistics
(over 1,500 yards passing his

Latecomer James shines at NCAAs

Fine performances by hurdler
Tim James and distance runner
Tom Graves highlighted the
Auburn University men's track
team's participation in the NCAA
Track and Field Champion­ships
in Houston, Texas, May 30-
June 5.
James' time of 50.71 in a heat in
the 400-meter hurdles tallied two
points for Auburn in the meet and
put James in second place on
Auburn's all time list in the 40 hur­dles.
James finished 11th in the
heats and narrowly missed getting
into the finals.
"Tim did an excellent job," said
Auburn track coach Mel Rosen. "We
didn't really expect him to do so
well, because he has just been run­ning
track at Auburn two years and
just doesn't have much experience."
James, from Albany, Ga., is the
brother of All-SEC running back
Lionel James. He spent one year as
a n A u b u r n b a s k e t b a l l -
red-shirt and a year on scholarship,
lettering last year, before devoting
full-time to track this spring.
Graves
James' time in the 400 hurdles
qualified him for the Track Athletic
Congress Meet in Indianapolis,
Ind., which was held last week.
Graves finished 11th in the 5,000-
meter run and should earn All-
American status after advancing to
the finals. The NCAA only picks
Americans as Ail-Americans which
gives Graves a lock on All-American
selection since he was one of only six
Americans in the race. The NCAA
will select the top six in the 5,000 as
All-Americans.
Auburn's 1,600-meter relay team
captured three points by finishing
10th with a time of 3:05.75, which
was a new Auburn school record.
Running for Auburn were Forika
McDougald,Steve Griffiths, Bruce
Hardy and Calvin Brooks.
Clara Hairston was the only
member of the women's track team
to qualify for the NCAA. Hairston's
time of 13.88 in a 100 hurdles heat
was good for a fifth place finish in
the heat, but failed to qualify her for
the finals.

Tennis mentor Thomson basks in Tigers' glory
By Karfin Harrell
Plainsipan Sportswriter
It was thife perfect ending to a near
perfect season. As dusk fell, Hugh
Thomson stood and recapped the
accomplishments of his SEC cham­pionship
tennis team as his two-and-
a-half-year-old twin sons, Ian
and Alexander, raced up and down
the pavillion at Chewacla Park.
The threatening rains held off for
a couple of hours, time enough for
Thomson to identify each player by
his best known trait and to hand out
awards to several deserving
players.
The awards were numerous for
second year coach Thomson's team
as they turned in a record breaking
30-9 season and broke nearly every
individual record,
Success is something Thomson
knows a great deal about, starting
from his own collegiate career at
Mississippi State, to being named
SEC coach of the year this year.
While playing tennis for the Mis­sissippi
State Bulldogs, from 1965 to
1968, Thomson won 54 of 56 SEC
matches and was named All-SEC
four times.
The mild-mannered 37-year-old
coach has continued his prowess on
the court and is regarded as one of
the best players in the South in the
35 singles and doubles divisions.
Thomson did not play enough
tournaments last year to be ranked
because of a medical problem with
his son, Ian, but expects to play
more tournaments this summer.
"I'm leaving for Mississippi at the
beginning of July to teach and
coach and play a few tournaments,
but I'll also be around Auburn for
part of the summer," says Thomson.
PROGRAM HEALER
.Thomson brought SEC title in second Auburn year
The Australia native began play­ing
tennis at the age of five. He
comes from a tennis playing family,
as both his parents play tennis as
well as his brother and sister.
Thomson held two other coaching
jobs prior to accepting the position
at Auburn. He had his first job in
1970 at Mississippi State. That team
took third in the SEC and had a 14-6
record.
Thomson did not coach again
until 1980 when he took over at the
University of Alabama-Birming­ham.
For the two years he was there,
his teams had a combined record of
52-30 and placed second in the Sun
Belt Conference both years.
He has a combined record of 47 20
in his two years on the Plains.
Last year, Thomson's first at
Auburn, the Tigers turned a 17-11
season with a fifth place finish in
the SEC.
Next year the Tigers are expected
to be national contenders. Only one
player from the top seven is leaving
because of graduation and 1982
NCAA Ail-American Dan Cassidy
is also expected to return.
Even though Thomson teaches
tennis lessons as well, he says he
prefers coaching.
"I like coaching better because I
get to work with talented, motivated
people every day," he says. "I also
get to work with them over a period
of time and watch them develop and
improve."

Absence of sponsorship
by NCAA kills softball
Softball will no longer be spon­sored
as an intercollegiate sport at
Auburn University according to
an announcement by Dr. Jody
Davenport, assistant athletic
director for women's athletics.
In a letter to Auburn's softball
players, Davenport said the
Auburn Faculty-Student Commit­tee
on Intercollegiate Athletics
made the decision to drop softball
as a varsity sport because the
NCAA does not sponsor a slow-pitch
softball championship and
the SEC does not recognize soft-ball
as a conference sport.
Auburn's decision to drop soft-ball
leaves Mississippi State and
Florida as the only teams in the
SEC which sponsor women's soft-ball
as a varsity sport.
This year's softball team fin­ished
with a 21-21 record, winning
its last four games to reach the .500
mark. Last year the team was 23-
22 and participated in the AIAW
slow-pitch tournament for the
second year in a row.
Davenport urged athletes who
were interested in continuing soft-ball
competition with other
schools to contact the SGA and
Recreational Services about
achieving club sports status. If
that avenue is followed, and it is
usually a formality according to
SGA president David Herrick,
Davenport offered to donate uni­forms
and equipment the team had
been using to the club team.
"I hope you realize how proud
Women's Athletics has been of the.
softball team," Davenport told the
participants. "I know what handi­caps
you have operated under and
yet, you have always played hard
and been a credit to Auburn
University."
Two local track standouts
among four Tiger recruits
By Paul Sullivan
Plainsman Sportswriter
Auburn track coach Mel Rosen
and new assistant coach and
recruiter Hal Cooper signed three
high school standouts and one jun­ior
college runner.
Two of Auburn's signees are of the
local flavor. State 800-meter cham­pion
Curt Linder of Auburn High
School, holder in that event, was the
first signee. Linder also had the fas­test
indoor time in the 880 this year.
Sidney Reid, from Opelika, is the
Alabama high hurdles champion
and is ranked in the top five in the
state in the discus and triple jump.
North Carolina 200-meter cham­pion
Daron Council has also signed
with Auburn. Council's best in the
200 is 20.8 while he has been timed
at 10.4 in the 100.
Junior college transfer Steve
Sterebell is the fourth signee. Stere­bell,
from Naperville, 111., was
second in the mile at the National
Junior College Championships.
Sterebell also runs the two-mile and
the steeplechase.
Auburn recruiting was set back by
the resignation of assistant track
and cross country head coach Mike
Muska, who assumed the head track
coaching duties at Northwestern
University in early March. The
move forced Rosen to take command
of both the head coach and recruit­ing
chores.
We're behind in quantity, but not
in quality," Cooper said. "Mel has
done a tremendous job since Muska
took the head job at Northwestern."
"We are behind, but are getting
caught up," Cooper said.

'Round Mound' hauls down four awards
RECORD REAPER
.Barkley chosen Basketball Athlete of the Year
Six players shared nine awards
for their performance during
Auburn's 1983 basketball season.
The awards were made public
recently at Auburn's Awards
banquet.
Sophomore center Charles Bark-ley
of Leeds, Ala., led the list of
award winners, being chosen as
Basketball Athlete of the Year. He
also received awards for all-around
excellence, rebounding and field
goal percentage.
Senior forward Darrell Lockhart
of Thornaston, Ga., received the
Outstanding Senior award, while
senior guard Alvin Mumphord of
Birmingham, Ala., was presented
with the Outstanding Leadership
award.
Other players recognized were
junior Mark Cahill of Stone Moun­tain,
Ga., for scholastic excellence,
senior Odell Mosteller of Summer-ville,
Ga., for best free throw percen­tage
and junior Paul Daniels of
Ormond Beach, Fla., for most
assists.
Barkley led Auburn in scoring
(14.4), rebounding (9.5), field goal
percentage (64.4) and blocked shots
(45) in 1983. Mosteller hit 81.1 per­cent
of his free throws, while
Daniels had 134 assists for a 4.8
average. Cahill won the Scholastic
Excellence award for the third sea­son
in a row with his 3.96 grade
point average.
Auburn basketball lettermen this
season were Barkley, senior Rick
Boiling, freshman Donnie Butcher,
Cahill, Daniels, senior Earl Hayes,
senior Byron Henson, Lockhart,
Mosteller, Mumphord, freshman
Chuck Person, freshman Brian
Shepperd, junior Greg Turner and
manager James Poole.

senior year) bear that out.
His primary competition will
come from senior Rick Mclvor, who
is considered the best passer on the
team. Mclvor was the number one
quarterback early last fall before
being felled by a knee injury.
At wide receiver, Texas is two
deep at split end and at flanker.
Brent Duhon, Dodge's battery mate
in high school, returns at split end.
Duhon was the second leading
receiver last fall, grabbing 21 passes
for 367 yards. Russell Hays, who
averaged 30 yards on his three
catches last year, will be the back-up
at split end.
Of the running backs expected to
battle for playing time, all are over
200 pounds. John Walker, a 6-foot-l,
205-pound senior, is the top returnee
at tailback. He was the team's
number three rusher last year with
381 yards.
However, incoming freshman
Edwin Simmions may be the best of
the lot at tailback. Simmions is 6-
Marshall
foot-4,220-pounds and averaged 10.2
yards per carry in gaining 2,935
yards in total offense his senior
year. He also scored 38 touchdowns.
At fullback, Ervin Davis (278
yards in 1982) and Terry Orr (236
yards last fall) return.
All-American candidate Doug
Dawson, a 6-foot-3, 260 pound
guard, will anchor the offensive
line. He is one of four starters return­ing
and one of nine returning let­termen
in the offensive line.
Defense is the Longhorns' strong
suit, and it is because of the overall
strength there that they are picked
as the favorite to win the Southwest
Conference title.
Nine starters are back from a unit
that allowed only 128 yards rushing
and 152 passing per game last fall.
Also, they allowed only 13 points
per contest and shut out Missouri,
Texas Tech and Houston.
The linebacking corps appears to
be the strength of the Longhorns'
defense where two full-time and one
willing to stand by its story, and
then hype the story by putting'
Dupree on the cover, is enough to
convince me.
Sports Illustrated has never been
confused with the National
Enquirer or the New York Post and
never will be, and even though it
was a slow week in sports, the mag­azine
will never resort to comprom­ising
its ethics.
But Dupree is probably correct in
his assumption that the story was
originally supposed to be a positive
one. Looney just caught Dupree off
his guard,and Looney jumped on the
story. As Looney later said, "We
spent a lot of time in Philadelphia
(Miss., Dupree's hometown). Things
change quite a bit when you get a
Continued from page 8
person someplace where he feels
comfortable."
Another quote from Dupree in his
defense also has a double meaning.
Says Dupree, "I'm planning to stay
all four years in school."
Ever heard that one before?
What Dupree is actually thinking
is, "I can't wait to get the hell out of
Oklahoma. We play Hawaii next
year and after we go there and I win
the Heisman, I'm blowing this place
and going to the USFL."
"I may not be doing too well in
school, but I learned a lot from Her-schel.
He and Jack Nicholson
taught me well."
Who says nobody in college foot­ball
can take Herschel Walker's
place? See ya in Jersey, Marcus.

linebacker Jeff Leiding is being
touted for post-season honors des­pite
missing the last six games of
the season last year with a knee
injury.
Leiding's replacement, Tony
Edwards, will be the starter at
weakside linebacker while Mark

In the secondary, Texas returns
all four starters with right corner-back

When summer quarter begins to
i wind its way through the hot days of
I July, Auburn students will have a
new option in terms of entertain-i
ment. In addition to Chewacla and
| the UPC free movies, students can
j spend and afternoon or evening in
Anniston at an Alabama Shakes­peare
Festival production.
The Festival is presenting four
plays in rotating repertory in the
: 950-8eat thrust stage Festival Thea­tre
and one in the intimate play­house
for the Anniston Community
Theatre.
This season promises to be out­standing
as ASF presents Shakes­peare's
"King Lear," and the come­dies,
"All's Well That Ends Well"
and the "Taming of the Shrew."
George Bernard Shaw's "Arms
and the Man" will grace the main-stage
in Anniston in addition to the
Shakespeare plays, and ASF will
present a recent Broadway smash,
'Mass Appeal" by Bill Davis, in the
! ACT Playhouse.
ASF draws nearly 70,000 theatre-
Summer quarter
goers each summer and ranks
among the South's leading profes­sional
classical theatres.
Although undoubtedly a major
regional theatre, ASF's national
reputation is growing with fine
reviews from such sources as The
New York Times, The Washington
Post, and The Atlanta Constitution.
The size and quality of the Festi­val
is amazing considering its short
12-year history. Martin L. Piatt, cur­rent
artistic director and founder,
started the festival in 1971 with $500
he borrowed from his mother.
The growth since then has been
phenomenal. From a fledgling
organization whose first perfor­mance
that summer drew an
audience of two to an institution
which yearly churns over $1 million
in to the Anniston economy, the
Alabama Shakespeure Festival has
consistently strived to produce the
finest in classical theatre.
One of the highlights of this
summer's season will be the produc­tion
of "King Lear." Charles Anta-losky
will return as Lear, a role he
created in ASF's 1976 landmark
production that Shakespeare Quar­terly
called "the standard by which
to judge all future performances."
This veteran ASF actor has
played such diverse roles as Shylock
in The "Merchant of Venice" and
Bottom in "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" during his twelve years
with the festival.
"King Lear," a towering tragedy
of familial ingratitude, has been
called Shakespeare's greatest
achievement and ASF will surely do
it justice.
ASF is sponsoring several extra-theatrical
activities which are defi­nitely
worth checking out. Two
Sundays this summer, July 24 and
August 14, have been declared
"Shakespeare Sundays."
On these mornings at 10:00, ASF
will present a special Elizabethan
church service at the Church of St.
Michaels and All Angels in
Anniston.
These services are a vivid specta­cle
of color and music and include
readings by Festival actors. Admis­sion
is free.
The church is also the site of a
chamber music series with six con­certs
ranging from an organist to a
string quartet.
Box lunches are available on the
grounds and there is a charge for
admission. -
The plays run from July 10 to
August 21 with both evening and
matinee performances throughout
each week. Ticket prices range from
$10 to $13.50 depending on the per­formance
date and specific seat in
the theatre.

Assistant Entertainment Editor
In order to entertain both the stu­dents
enrolled in Summer School
; and the freshmen visiting the cam­pus
for orientation, the UPC has an
array of free movies lined up for the
quarter.
A Burt Reynolds mini-series will
be held including "Deliverance"
and "Sharky's Machine." "Deliv­erance"
stars Jon Voight, Burt Rey­nolds,
Ned Beaty and Ronny Cox.
The four Atlanta suburbanites go on
a weekend white-water canoe trip in
which they are assaulted by two
sodomy-inclined hillbillies. They
also scale sheer cliffs and fight
death duels with bow-and-arrow
before finding their deliverance.
"Sharky's Machine," filmed in
Atlanta, depicts Reynolds as an
undercover cop demoted to the vice
squad for blowing his cover. The
Atlanta skyline and a good stunt, a
jump from Peachtree Plaza, high­light
this film about underworld
crime.
Science fiction-fantasy buffs will
revel in Steven Spielberg's now
classic "Close Encounters of the
Third Kind," which brings to the
Plains Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda
Dillon and young Carey Guffey in a
film about an alien spaceship land­ing
at the foot of Devil's Tower,
Wyo.
The film depicts an international
team of scientists preparing for the
arrival of the aliens and the adven­tures
of some quite ordinary people
who, having witnessed an Indiana
UFO lightshow, find themselves
drawn to the landing of the craft.
"Tron," surprisingly enough, was
a Walt Disney box-office failure.
Focused around video games and
electronic warriors, the film stars
Jeff Bridges who finds himself
UR zapped inside a computer and fac­ing
these electronic warriors. Some,
say the video game "Tron" is more
exciting than the film.
Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles"
stars Brooks, Gene Wilder, Harvey
Korman, Madeline Kahn and Dom
DeLuise. The story is about a black
sheriff and his wbite sidekick who
save the town of Ridge Rock from
land speculators. Full of burlesque,
gag-type humor and non-stop vul­garity,
this film depicts Mel Brooks'
version of the West, bringing con­vulsive
comedy to the screen.
The 1973 George Lucas film,
"American Graffiti," takes place
inside, on top, underneath or near
virtually every make, model and
year of car available in 1962. Pres­ent
in "American Graffiti" are
young lives going nowhere, but the
youngsters possess great humor
and true-to-life feelings.
"Creepshow" combines the tal­ents
of Stephen King, author of
"Carrie," and George Romero, direc­tor
of "Night of the Living Dead," to
bring together everything that has
ever frightened men, from blood to
roaches, to create a horribly funny,
scary movie.

Director Jean-Jacques Beineix
utilizes the beautiful Wilhelmenia
Fernandez, an American opera sin­ger
and Frederic Andrei in his up to
the minute French thriller "Diva."
Andrei plays an intoxicated mail
carrier obsessed with Fernandez
and her singing.
Fernandez refuses to be taped, but
despite her wishes, the young mail
carrier smuggles a recorder into her
performance, and because of a tape
mixup Andrei ends up with a tape
that belongs to the underworld and
leads to fast-paced excitement.
Mick Jagger and his popular Rol­ling
Stones are featured in "Let's
Spend the Night Together." This
film consists of excerpts from the
rock'n'roll band's 1981 American
tour and is full of explosive enter­tainment
for any Stones fan.
The Knights of the Round Table
grace the screen along with King
Arthur in director John Boorman's
romantic adventure of the Middle
Ages. "Excalibur" is a magical and
legendary epic with all the trim­mings
of the age of gallantry.
Imagine Paris in the 1930s with
an unemployed singer, a cabaret
performer and a tough Chicago
nightclub owner who get involved in
a dazzling musical farce with decep­tive
sex roles, and you have " Victor/-
Victoria." Blake Edwards directs
this sparkling film which stars Julie
Andrews.
The UPC wraps up its Summer r
film series on a light note with one
that will thrill all those who go to the
free movie only for the cartoons. A
Bugs Bunny series will feature
"Bugs Bunny Superstar'and "Bugs
Bunny/Road Runner Movie."
"Superstar" will include nine com­plete
Warner Brothers cartoons and
a special tribute to the man behind
the voices, Mel Blanc.
In "Bugs Bunny/Road Runner
Movie," Bugs reminisces semi-retirement
amid his many carrots.
Both are classic cartoons.

"Almost Family," a novel written
by Roy Hoffman is a delightfully
heartwarming account of a young
Jewish woman, Vivian Gold, and
her young black housekeeper,
Nebraska Waters.
Hoffman uses omniscience to rea­listically
portray these young
women's hopes and dreams and
uses reminiscences to stabilize his
plot as well as his characters.
The story takes place in Madofc,
Ala., a city not unlike Hoffman's
birthplace of Mobile, Ala.
Street dance
features
allusion'
By David O. Benson
Plainsman Staffwriter
A popular form of entertainment
during summer quarter seems to be
the street dances sponsored by the
UPC. On Monday, Illusion, a rock
'n' roll band, will be performing on
Cater Lawn from 7 to 11 p.m.
Illusion is a hard rock band that
plays everything from AC/DC to
Z.Z. Top. While much of its music is
copied from other bands, Illusion
will also perform many original
songs.
Illusion has been billed as one of
the hottest groups around, and this
i s one of its rare Auburn
performances.
"Almost Family" takes us
through the trying times of the
monumental Brown vs. Board of
Education decision and all the
social and racial tension that
followed.
The women grow old and endure
everything from racial and ethnic
jokes and slurs to problems involv­ing
their children. Evident is a
closeness to the real happenings of
Alabama during the times of
marches in Montgomery and Wal­lace's
stand at the doors of the Uni­versity
of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Hoffman shows that colors and
religions need not be barriers as
these two young women become the
best of friends. In fact, Vivian Gold
describes Nebraska to her college-aged
son by saying Nebraska "...is
not your cook. She's...an aunt. Yes,
an aunt."
"Almost Family" is rich with
Nebraska's dialect and Vivian's cus­toms.
We see the years pass quickly
amid a time that should be remem­bered
as a time of friendships. A
friendship like that shared by Hoff-mans
characters, who are terrifi­cally
realistic, (not as a time
remembered for its uprising and
protest.)
Despite their differences, Ne­braska
being black and Baptist and
Vivian being white and Jewish,
these two really do become almost
family, but witha special freedom in
the end.
—Maria Rogers
crazed voice moans these lyrics
amid a heightened tension created
by the never-ending drone of the
bass and the opposing horns and
electric guitar. Even more haunting
than the high-intensity tension is
the crazed laughter and screams of
"Mother" near the close of the song.
Stewart Copeland's "Miss Gra-denko"
is a bit less than brilliant
because of the simplicity of the song.
The lyrics are repetitious, and the
music is not up to par with the usual
sophistication of The Police.
The sad tone in several of Sting's
songs reflects his melancholy over
his recent separation from his wife.
The already-popular "Every Breath
You Take" combines sultriness and
a slow rhythm which can only be
described as despondency.
The Police's diversity and their
ability to perform any mood of
music, prove their brilliance in their
latest, "Synchronicity," and makes
a person wonder what The Police
will undertake on their next
collaboration.
—Maria Rogers
FILM
ALBUM
Sting, Andy Summers and Ste­wart
Copeland have teamed up once
again to create a most brilliant work
in the Police's latest album entitled
"Synchronicity." The music embo­dies
the same "white reggae" beat
as the previous three Police albums,
but the brilliance of "Synchroni­city"
is embedded in its lyrics and
tone.
The words and music of all the
songs except two were written by
Sting. "Mother," an Oedipal-related
song was written by Andy
Summers. A rasping, pleading, half-
The most moving of Sting's songs
is "King of Pain" in which unfortu­nate
tragedies such as trapped fos­sils,
beached whales and "a black-winged
gull with a broken back" are
sung, but despite these, Sting wal­lows
in his sadness and remains
"King of Pain."
In following the tradition of the
melancholy of "Synchronicity" the
songs "O My God" and "Wrapped
Around Your Finger" give a definite
form of sombernes8 to the album.
Nihilistic and political thoughts
are evident in only one song, "Walk­ing
in Your Footsteps." This shying
from political overtones is surpris­ing,
because the previous Police
album, "Ghost in the Machine" is
wrought with social protest. In
comparison, "Synchronicity" is
much more mellow and so pro­foundly
tender.
"Deliverance," an action melo­drama
starring Burt Reynolds, Jon
Voight, Ned Beaty and Ronny Cox,
is the story of four Atlanta subur­banites
on a back-to-nature canoe
trip that turns into a battle for
survival.
It was filmed on the Cahulawas-see
River in Georgia and was
praised by The New York Times as
"the most stunning piece of movie­making"
released in 1972.
Director John Boorman captures
nature in its threatening and des­tructive
reality. The four men are
forced to confront the violence in
nature although two of them are
totally unsuited for a white-water
canoe trip.
There is a boyish comraderie
among the men at the beginning of
the film as they whoop in delight
after they conquer the first rapids.
Macho campfire talk and beer
drinking seems to reassure them of
their virility.
However, the canoe trip is not a
confirmation of masculinity, but a
threat to it. One of the four men
becomes a victim of homosexual
rape by two hillbillies.
Vengeance becomes the goal of
the journey because the men cannot
tolerate the humiliation of the rape.
Murdering the hillbillies seems
necessary to the men and they
accept this as a chance to reaffirm
their manhood.
"Deliverance" is not a simple,
sentimental film in which man pits
himself against nature and wins. It
is a thoughtful film in which men
are forced to confront the violence in
nature and in themselves.
Jon Voight's performance as Ed is
the strongest in the film. He seizes
the opportunity to prove his man­hood
to himself and his compan-

ions. He succeeds at the survival
game and discovers new self-confidence,
but it is no true victory
because it comes with the realiza­tion
that he is capable of murder.
Voight successfully absorbs him­self
in the character and according
to The New York Times, "He has the
remarkable ability of opening a
character's inner life, the discre­pancy
between words and feelings."
Reynolds' performance as Lewis,
the self-appointed hero who cracks
under pressure, is satisfactory. The
Times says director John Boorman
"uses the self-satisfaction that Rey­nolds
projects to make a sardonic
comment against the sportsman
mystique."
