State Senate action ends
By Kay Howie
and J i l l Payne
Plainsman Staffwriters
On the last day of the regular
legislative session, the Senate Rules
Committee delayed action on the
nomination of R.C. "Red" Bamberg
for another term as an Auburn Trus­tee,
and a bill to raise the legal
drinking age to 21 was never
allowed on the Senate floor.
Bamberg, Gov. George C. Walla­ce's
nominee for trustee, will con­tinue
to serve on the Board until the
next legislative session, which is
scheduled for January.
There is also the possibility of a
special session, which would be
called by the governor and held in
the fall.
Action could also be taken on the
drinking age bill in the special ses­sion.
The bill was not brought to the
Senate floor Monday because of an
eight-hour reading of the journal
relating to the legalization of dog
racing in Jefferson County.
This move blocked any opportun­ity
for the drinking age bill to come
up for a full vote in the Senate.
The bill had passed in the House
earlier and was placed on the Senate
calendar on July 14, but was not
placed on the Special Order
Calendar by the Rules Committee.
This committee also held Bam­berg's
nomination, not allowing a
vote on his confirmation by the
Senate.
Sen. Charles Bishop, chairman of
the senate Rules Committee, said
the committee did not take action,
intending to let "things calm down
in the controversy."
Bishop referred to the opposition
which has been expressed over the
nomination of Bamberg.
Much of the opposition has come
from within the University, with
most support coming from outside
the system.
Bamberg's reappointment has
been opposed by faculty members
who say he does not understand the
problems an institution such as
Auburn faces.
The Alabama House passed a
resolution last Friday asking the
Senate to confirm Bamberg, but
Bishop said there is no reason to
hurry the confirmation.
The drinking age bill, another
controversial issue during the
Senate session, would have passed
if it had reached the floor, Rep. Cur­tis
Smith said.
Smith, sponsor of the bill, said
there was enough support in the
Senate to approve the bill.
This was the third consecutive
year the drinking bill has passed the
House but has not gotten past the
Senate.
"I was disappointed, of course,"
Smith said. But he refuses to "give
up the fight" for the bill's passage,
he added.
Saying there "is a good possibil­ity"
that a special session will be
called this fall, Smith plans to ask
the governor to put the drinking age
bill in his anti-crime package.
"There's a good chance Wallace
will agree since he vetoed lowering
the drinking age from 21 to 19 back
in 1976," he said.
The bill, if passed in a special ses­sion,
would "grandfather in" those*
who turn 19 before Oct. 1 and allow
minors to retain employment in an
establishment selling alcoholic
beverages.
Smith reiterated that his "only
intention is to save lives."

AU Master Plan sees changes
AU trustee criticizes
faculty resolution
By J i l l Payne
News Editor
A University Senate resolution
calling for the election of "the type
leadership needed on the Board of
Trustees" has been criticized by one
of the trustees.
Trustee Frank P. Samford Jr. sent
a letter June 29 to Curt Peterson,.
chairman of the University Senate,
saying he was "disappointed that
the Senate felt it necessary to adopt
such a resolution."
He said he does not believe the
action of the Senate "will be
productive."
A copy of the original letter with
an Atlanta postmark was sent ano­nymously
to the Plainsman.
An attached note suggested that
Peterson had wanted to keep the let­ter's
contents confidential. Peterson
did not read it to the faculty senators
at the July 12 meeting.
Peterson said he had presented
the letter to the Rules Committee,
and the members decided the letter
was not pertinent at the time.
Samford disagrees with the reso­lution's
conclusion, which, he said,
doesn't follow the premises.
The conclusion states that the
University Senate "respectfully
requests, consistent with the criteria
herein stated, that the Board of
Trustees elect a new vice chair­man."
Samford said that this carries
with it the judgment on the "part of
the Senate that the present vice
chairman does not meet the sug­gested
standards."
This position, the letter said, is
"uncalled for and presumptuous."
"I think their advice is welcome, but
I don't think the Senate should sub­stitute
their judgment for that of the
Board's. And, that's what they were
doing," Samford said.
The trustee sent a copy of his letter
to Peterson, each of the members of
the Board of Trustees and Interim
President Wilford Bailey.
Peterson said he felt the letter was
sent to the Plainsman by someone
anonymously "trying to stir up
trouble between the trustees and the
faculty."
Samford said he did not send the
letter.
Peterson had said earlier his only
intention in presenting the resolu­tion
was "to voice polite opposition
and communicate concerns pri­vately."
Peterson said he had received crit­icism
from another trustee concern­ing
the resolution.
Trustee John Denson of Opelika
moved to replace Bamberg as vice
chairman on June 6. He nominated
Henry Steagall of Ozark to replace
Bamberg.
The vote on the motion was post­poned
until Aug. 22-

Several alterations have been made on the 1978 Master Plan
accepted by the Board of Trustees concerning future physical require­ments
for Auburn University, said University architect, Tom
Tillman.
This plan, the first since 1958, was incorporated in the fall of 1981
with a study of the School of Engineering. It created a "blob" out of the
parking space and the building for Engineering II, Tillman said.
A previous study of the engineering school resulted in the recom­mendation
of three buildings, but neglected to address the problem of
parking. This leads to some modifications.
• Engineering II should be "at least a couple of hundred-thousand
square feet," Tillman said.
"The original scope of the building was reduced to about half size.
About 25 percent is left for green area and we've consolidated service
drives to cut down on traffic," he added.
After Engineering I and II are completed, an extension of the con­course
is planned. It will cross Thach Avenue and continue through to
Tiger Street.
A east-west pedestrian mall is also planned to extend behind Thach
to the pharmacy building.
Many recommendations found in the Master Plan have not been
followed.
"Auburn University hasn't traditionally followed a Master Plan.
Usually, after seven to 10 years, we throw it away," Tillman said.
Tillman maintains that having a Master Plan doesn't necessarily
require that every detail be followed, "but each decision should be
evaluated in the context of the plan," Tillman said.
The 1978 plan cites "lack of identified Drincipal entrance and visitor
information accommodations" as a problem area, along with inade­quate
parking and lighting.
Residential housing and the Child Study Center located within the
academic core constitute conflicts in land usage.

Historyfrom1945
The Alabama Polytechnic Institute had a student
enrollment of 4,616 during the school year 19424943,
and existing buildings and equipment were considered
to be "inadequate" toproperly serve thestudent body;
An estimated 6,000 students were expected during
the immediate post-war years* according to a-general
statement of building needs made by API president L.
N. Duncan in January 1945.
In this statement, Duncan emphasized the growing
recognition of the importance of developing housing
and "recreational" facilities ibfcstu'iefcts, alongj^H
academic and technical training.
"Recreation" at that time meant
concerts, lectures and recitals.;
The only auditorium available
was Langdon Hall, which seated
only 700 people.
The following buildings comprised the "minimum
~^9
needed to continue quality education for the future.'

Consequences of cocaine use not worth price paid
Editor's note: This is a true, first
person account of the effect cocaine
had on one man's life, as told by
Kenneth Tharpe.
It was the beginning of my sopho­more
year at Florida and I was mov­ing
into a new house. There couldn't
be anything worse than moving
what seemed to be thousands of
belongings on the hottest day of the
year.
I finally got everything out of the
truck and into the house, and
although my room was still clut­tered
with half-full boxes, I did
manage to get somewhat settled
down.
My roommates, neither of whom I
knew very well, seemed like tolera­ble
people.
Ed, who was in the aerospace pro­gram,
was an extremely bright per­son
with the personality of a stand-

up comedian.
Dale was from Jamaica and
brought with him all the culture of a
Rastaman, including a love for
ganga (Jamaican for marijuana)
and Jamaican afro. Although Dale
said he was in school, we never saw
him crack a book, much less make it
to class.
After spending the rest of the day
decorating the house like we wanted
it, we sat down to drink a beer and
shoot the bull.
While we were talking, Ed
remembered that a friend of his had
invited him to a small party that
afternoon to kick off the quarter. In
light of the fact that classes started
the next day, we decided to get the
"partying" out of our systems before
buckling down to the books.
Little did I know that it would be a
long while before the "partying"
died out.
When we arrived at the party we
found about 10 people standing on
the back porch of the house, huddled
around a keg of beer. Ed suggested
that Dale and I stand in line for a
beer while he went to find the host.
After filling our mugs, we mingled
with a few people that we knew from
the previous quarter.
Ed showed up a few minutes later
and introduced us to Larry, the guy
who was throwing the party. After
Larry suggested that we leave the
keg to everyone else, he started
walking toward the hack of the
house as if he had something better
in mind. We followed Larry back to
his bedroom where he shut and
locked the door.
After putting an album on the
turntable, Larry reached under the
bed and pulled out a mirror, a razor
blade and a glass vial jam-packed
with cocaine.
Although I had never done
cocaine, I had heard personal test­imony
of its effects. The terms used
on the street range from anything to
snow, toot, white lady or just plain
stuff. The main method of consump­tion
is to sniff it through a straw. It
slowly creeps into the bloodstream
through the tiny vessels in the nose.
It makes the user feel very alert and
on top of the world, at least for a
while.
As Larry used the razor blade to
cut the cocaine and arrange it into
tiny lines on the mirror, Ed's face lit
up with eager anticipation. I was
quite surprised to find out that Ed,
an aerospace engineer and future
employee of our nation's space pro­gram,
used cocaine.
After Larry finished, he handed
the mirror to Ed who wasted no time
in sniffing up his portion of the
chalky substance and handed the
mirror to me.
Needless to say, I was hesitant in
accepting it because I didn't know
how it would affect me. Larry and
Ed assured me that it couldn't hurt
me and that it would make me feel
better than I have ever felt in my
life. In seeing that it didn't hurt Ed I
decided to give it a try, and with one
long sniff I had taken my first sam­ple
of something that later would
nearly ruin my life.
After Dale and Larry had taken
their share, Larry cut some more
and we each did three more lines
before we left the party.
Although I was quite scared at
first, my fears didn't last long
because everything I had heard
about the effects of cocaine was
true. I felt like a new man, full of
energy and on top of the world.
At 10 p.m. the party finally
dispersed and we decided to go home
to get some sleep for class the next
day. Although sleep was the last
thing on my mind, I lay down and
tried to shut my eyes. After tossing

College costs jump by 12 percent
By Missy Harris
Assistant News Editor
The College Board reports that
students will pay an average of 12
percent more this fall for a year of
public college education.
Although Auburn has scheduled
tuition and housing increases for
1983, costs in the area are either sta­bilized
or not predictable at this
time.
The prices compiled by the Col­lege
Board account for tuition and
fees, books and supplies, room and
board, transportation and personal
expenses.
These costs, the Board said, are
rising faster than consumer prices.
The Aug. 1 issue of the Chronicle
of Higher Education reported that
the cost of living rose 2.6 percent
during the 12-month period ending
June 30. Extension granted
in Alabama lawsuit
By Shelton FOBS
Research Editor
Attorneys for Auburn University
and other institutions asked last
week for a delay in the deadline for
their replies to the federal lawsuit
against Alabama.
Tom Samford, attorney for
Auburn University, said the Uni­versity
officials asked Friday for an
extension until Aug. 15. He said a
reply will be filed at that time.
The defendants in the suit were
originally supposed to have filed
their replies by Monday.
The suit, which claims Alabama
has maintained a dual system of
education in its colleges and univer­sities,
was brought against the gov­ernor,
universities in the state and
other officials.
Charles Coody, lawyer for State
Superintendent of Education
Wayne Teague, said Teague also
requested an extension of time in
which to file a motion.
A judge was to inform lawyers
Tuesday that "all pleadings or
motions must be in by the 19th (of
August)," said Coody.
He added that any motions made
in the case will be heard at 1:30 Aug.
19.
Filed in Birmingham July 12, the
suit asks that Alabama end its
"racially dual system" of colleges
and universities.
No comments can be made about
the suit until all motions and replies
have been delivered to the U.S. Dis­trict
Court.
The same issue reported that
Auburn's 1983 fall quarter tuition is
ranked seventh lowest of 34 Ala­bama
colleges investigated.
Beginning in January 1984,
Auburn's tuition will rise by nine
percent. .
Dr. Gerald Leischuck of the
Department of Institutional Analy­sis
said estimating the overall
increased cost of a year's enrollment
at Auburn would be difficult or
impossible.
That figure, Leischuck said, is
"obviously dependent on so many
variables" such as curriculums, in­state
residency and place of resi­dence
in Auburn.
According to the College Board
survey, students who live on cam­pus
at public universities can expect
an average cost increase of 7 percent
from last year.
Gail McCullers, Director of Uni­versity
Housing, said that dormi­tory
rents will be as much as 10 per­cent
higher next fall.
The exception will be the Caroline
Draughon Village extension which
will not increase in price.
Because the University will no
longer provide telephones in cam­pus
housing, dorm dwellers will
have the additional cost of buying
their own phones.
Even though the Auburn
Chamber of Commerce prints lists
of off-campus housing prices,
neither it nor two area realtors knew
the average increase, if any,
expected for off-campus housing
this fall.
University Food Services was
unable to estimate increased prices
of cafeteria products this far :
advance of fall quarter.
However, the College Board said
students at four-year public colleges
can expect to pay an average of
$2,182 for room and board.

Faculty
writes
on health
By Debra Nesbitt
Plainsman Staffwriter
Eleven University faculty
members have published the first
book to present a set of principles of
health maintenance for animals
and humans.
The idea for the text entitled
"Principles of Health Mainte­nance,"
was formulated when the
group decided a course should be
taught emphasizing animal health
care.
A graduate course on this subject
has been taught in the School of
Veterinary Medicine since 1979,
with lecture material condensed for
the text.
The authors are: Dr. Agee Wig­gins
and Dr. Robert Sherman, large
animal surgery; Dr. John E. Saidla,
Auburn veterinary practitioner; Dr.
John Plumb, fisheries; Dr. Paul
Schnurrenberger, microbiology; Dr.
Tom Powe, Dr. John Winkler and
Dr. Robert Hudson, large animal
surgery and medicine; Dr. Harold
Kjar, Extension Veterinarian; and
former AU faculty Dr. T.T. Dramer
and Dr. Ian Swann.
Saidla, who was invited to join the
group because of his knowledge of1
small-animal health problems, says
the text is aimed at the positive con­cept
of maintaining health.
The group began the research by
establishing 36 principles of health
maintenance. The authors were
assigned principles to research and
present to the group for evaluation.
The text was intended for anyone
interested in animal health accord­ing
to Plumb. The text has been
written in layman's terms for the
benefit of anyone interested in the
health of humans and animals.
The book offers practical daily
principles which can be applied to
humans as well as animals, Saidla
said.
Schnurrenberger says the group
"was a cooperative team."

Auburn hosts teleconference
By Angela Wooden
Plainsman Staffwriter
Auburn is-one of the 67 founding
institutions of the National Univer-s
i ty Teleconference Network
(NUTN), which has brought live-by-satellite
video teleconferencing to
the University.
NUTN was created in July of 1982
by the 67 universities, four-year col­leges
and the Smithsonian
Institute.
NUTN links these institutions
together so they can provide each
other with audio, video and compu­ter
communication capabilities,
Becky S. Duning, Auburn's telecon­ference
coordinator said.
The system provides a way for
organizations to communicate with
experts on topics of mutual interest,
Duning said.

submitted by Construction One, a
Montgomery-based firm.
The bid of $2,294,000 falls within
the budget decided upon for the
building, according to Tom Tillman,
campus architect.
"Construction of the George C.
Wallace Center Vocational Adult
Education will begin any day now,"
Tillman said.
"The construction will carry out
plans which have been completed
for three years," he added.
The building will be located south
of Thach Avenue between Donahue
Drive and Wire Road.
It will provide modern shop facili­ties
and an atmosphere for flexibil­ity
in teaching. There are approxi­mately
21 faculty members, close to
350 undergraduates and 70 gradu­ates
enrolled in vocational
education.
Funding for the center is made
possible by the Alabama Public
School and College Fund.
A group or organization can make
a proposal for a teleconference topic,
and NUTN checks the proposal
with the other teleconference sites to
see if other sites would have an
audience for the topic.
Auburn has reviewed 93 propos­als
for the next round of NUTN
teleconferencing.
Twelve are being considered for
January to June 1984, but only three
will probably be used.
Auburn has participated in three
day-long teleconferences.
The third and largest teleconfer­ence
was on the subject of Earth-
Sheltered Housing, (ESH), in
March.
Like the first two teleconferences,
ESH was live and interactive, and
participants were encouraged to call
and ask questions throughout the
day, Duning said.
At the teleconference meetings
animated graphics, slides, charts
and films are played on a screen
while a voice overhead discusses the
pictured material, Duning added.
Auburn's next live video telecon­ference,
titled Inexpensive Justice,
is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 15,
1983 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on
campus.

Students would pay
extra activity fee
Forty-eight of the 60 students
questioned in an SGA-sponsored
telephone poll said they would
pay an extra dollar in student
activity fees, increasing the
funds for University organiza­tions
by $18,000.
In the random June 27 poll, 65
percent of the students said they
did not know the fees fund eight
major University organizations.

University Program
Council, the Plainsman, The Cir­cle,
the Glomerata, WEGL, Per­forming

Auburn will be the only university
in Alabama sponsoring the telecon­ference,
Duning said.
The teleconference will be beamed
live via satellite from Oklahoma
State University and led by Dr.
Robert L. Spurrier, professor of pol­itical
science. Spurrier has pres­ented
more than 55 seminars on the
subject since 1980.
Local expertise will be provided
by Judge Michael A. Nix, District
Court, Lee County; Henry Hender­son,
attorney, legal adviser to stu­dents;
and Prof. David Martin,
Auburn dept. of political sciences.
The fee for the teleconference will
be $60, which includes a book by the
teleconference leader, a complete
conference packet and lunch.
There is a special fee for students
and faculty, Duning said.
In the future Auburn should be
able to tie into national meetings
which would be difficult to attend.
Students" will have an opportunity
to see or speak with recognized
authorities in the field, Duning said.
In the past, Auburn has only been
a "user" receiving the teleconfer­ence,
but "hopes to be an originator
as soon as January 1985," Duning
said.
ETV handles the technical work
and so far no major problems have
occurred. No problems are expected
to arise at the next teleconference,
Duning added.

Upon faculty recommendation,
Dr. Dennis Wilson has been
appointed to a three-year term as
head of the Auburn department of
health, physical education and
recreation, Interim President Wil-ford
S. Bailey has announced.
Wilson, who served as acting head
for the past two years, has been a
member of the AU faculty since
1973.
He received a bachelor's degree
from Union University in Tennes­see
and a master's and doctorate
from the University of Tenessee.
Prior to his Auburn appointment,
Wilson was a teacher and coach in
Florida and Tennessee.
He is a Fellow of both the Ameri­can
College of Sports Medicine and
the American Alliance for Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and
Dance.
He is past president of the Sou­theastern
Regional American Col­lege
of Sports Medicine.
Wilson is the author or co-author
of 18 publications and has made
numerous appearances before pro­fessional
groups and on radio and
television and at worshops.
He was invited to serve as a con­sultant
this year for the Bahrain
Sports Medicine Association of the
Royal Saudi Air Force.
"He has regional and national
recognition in his specialized fields
of physical education and exercise
physiology,"Jack Blackburn, dean
of the School of Education, said.
Wilson
Among his administrative duties,
Wilson is chairman of the Univer­sity
Health Committee and a
member of the coordinating com­mittee
for the interdepartmental
physiology graduate program.
He is also director of the physiol­ogy
of exercise laboratory at AU.
Named as one of the Outstanding
Young Men of America in both 1977
and 1979, Wilson is also active in
community and church activities
and writes a weekly column for the
Opelika-Auburn News.
Study spots dwindle
Students who prefer to study late
at night could have a hard time find­ing
a place to do so this quarter.
The library, on a summer quarter
schedule, has reduced it's service
hours and students are having to
look elsewhere for a place to study.
The library closes at 11:00 p.m.
Monday through Thursday, 5:00
p.m. Friday, 6:00 p.m. Saturday and
11:00 p.m. Sunday.
The Haley Center lounge also
closes at 11:00 p.m.
And, although students can study
in classrooms in Haley Center, they
must be inside the rooms by 11:00
p.m. because the outside doors are
locked then.
Security personnel make students
leave the building at 2:00 a.m.
According to a survey conducted
by the SGA spring quarter, students
want the library to increase its ser­vice
hours.
Ninety-three percent of those
polled would be willing to pay more
in student activity fees to fund the
extra hours.
"As far as an all night place to
study, there's not one, except for
Dudley, and it never has light-bulbs,"
Wayne Hudson, 04 GL, said.
Some students used to study at the
Omelette Shoppe late at night but
can no longer do so because it
recently closed.
Even students who prefer study­ing
at an earlier hour have com­plained
of trouble in locating a place
to study on weekends.
Bobby Holloway, assistant Uni­versity
Librarian, said the library
closes early on Friday and Saturday
because low usage of the facility
"doesn't justify staying open." Even
during the regular school year the
library closes early on weekends, for
the same reason.
SGA proposes bike paths, transit system
By Missy Harris
Assistant News Editor
A plan to keep cyclists off the
streets of Auburn and on two new
bike paths was proposed by an SGA
committee Monday.
The report, presented by Karen
Bynum, head of the Academic
Affairs Committee, said the possi­bility
of two connecting bike paths
along Wire Road and Thach Avenue
is under consideration.
Plans for two 5-foot-wide bike
paths are included in the expansion
plans for Wire Road, the committee
report said.
Bynum also said funding for the
bike paths is being sought "to
launch this project to life."
Researching such projects and
making recommendations for the
upcoming year are the only powers
granted to the summer senate in the
SGA constitution.
A tentative plan to route money
collected by Traffic and Parking
into Student Activity fees is being
researched by the Off-Campus
Committee.
Committee member Doug Beverly
said this proposal will be submitted
to the Interim President Wilford Bai­ley.
Lists of planned uses for the
ticket revenue from each student
activity coordinator will also be
submitted.
The Off-Campus Committee is
also looking into "the seriousness of
the University toward installing a
transit system for Auburn Univer­sity
and surrounding areas."
So far, the committee has met
with Chief Jack Walton of the
Auburn University Police Depart­ment
and Bill Edwards of Lee-Cot
Transit System, proposer of the new
transit system, said Alex Pruet,
head of the Off-Campus Committee.
Pruet said he wanted to know how
the University felt about a new
transit system.
Later, the committee plans to
conduct a poll to determine student
opinion of a possible $10 tuition
increase needed to finance the tran­sit
system.
A report by the Housing Commit­tee
said the group is seeking a solu­tion
to the cluttered bulletin boards
on campus.

AU Master Plan
The 1978 Master Plan is one example
of t he great insight Auburn University
has for the future. Not only does it find
accommodations for the desperately
needed engineering facilities, but it
also attempts to beautify and reform
Auburn into an attractive and working
campus.
However, are the recommendations
cosmetic, or do they take into consider­ation
the traditional beauty of the
campus?
Auburn is renown for its comfortable
and expansive campus. The Univer­sity
is consolidated on a corner of the
city. It blends with the city forming a
casual continuum of the indescribable
Auburn atmosphere.
But, when the architects drew up the
Master Plan, did they take this into
account or decide on what was the
most practical solution to the Univer­sity's
needs?
Of course, the recommendations in
the Master Plan are just that: recom­mendations.
Whatever building or
demolishing t h a t is done to the campus
has to be approved by the Board of
Trustees. Chances are, most of the 5-
year-old plan will never be approved;
but what if it is?
Granted, the most efficient use of
space must be made on the main cam­pus.
But does efficiency outweigh
beauty and nostalgia? The plan calls
for the demolition of Broun Hall
(which has been approved by the trus­tees),
part of Biggin, an addition to the
Ralph Brown Draughon Library and a
parking deck to be located behind Spi-dle
Hall, next to the library.
Thank God a parking deck on the
exterior part of campus h a s been can­celled.
This was because of a lack of
funds and not because it would be
extremely ugly. No sensible person
would argue against a n addition to the
library: provided there will be money
enough for books when it is completed.
Biggin is an atrocious building.
Located at the mouth of the campus'
main gate, it is totally out of place and
should be torn down.
But t h e destruction of Broun Hall for
some new post-modernistic structure
that could be located elsewhere on
campus is upsetting.
This is the destruction of the tradi­tional
corner of campus: Broun, Har-gis,
Langdon, Samford. These build­ings
are the symbols of Auburn's
heritage. They form the traditional
and nostalgic corner of campus; and to
destroy any one of them is to deface the
Auburn known and loved by countless
alumni.
What's to happen to Langdon, once
the new student activites building is
completed? Will its usefulness be fin­ished
and then torn down?
The engineering building to be built
on Broun's lot could be moved behind
Ramsey as originally planned and the
classic face of the campus retained,
efficiently and tastefully.
The plan also calls for the destruc­tion
of t h e upper quad dorms. Nothing
has been decided on this, however; and
some people in the campus planner's
office believe this will never happen.
One should hope not. The upper quad is
the most pleasing, attractive and truly
Southern area on campus. To destroy
its beauty would be like cutting down
the oaks t h a t shade Samford Park.
Where to study: ?
We want to study! Hardly the cry of
every student; but for those who do
want to study, finding a place open late
at night is difficult and almost
impossible.
It used to be when Ralph Brown
Draughon closed, students could cram
at Sambo's (until it went out of busi­ness)
and then at the Omelet Shop
(until it went out of business).
Now the student has nowhere to
study after the library closes, except
Haley, and it closes at 2 a.m.
Is this an institution of higher learn­ing
or are we running a convenient lit­tle
business?
Regardless of statistics, it is ridicu­lous
t h a t the library closes at 5 p.m. on
Friday and 6 p.m. on Saturday. What
are the statistics on students being
turned away from a closed Ralph
Brown Draughon?
A library is to be used for research
and learning, and should be available
at all hours of t he day. What is t he good
of a n expanded library if the service to
the students remains minimal in the
one already existing?
Students need a safe place to study at
all hours of t h e day. Not just business
hours, or those conveniently budgeted,
but 24 hours a day.
For the University to close the
library so early, and not to offer any
place where students can study 24
hours a day is just one example of what
higher education means at Auburn.

Take advantage of fine arts
All art is but imitation of nature.
-Seneca
Have you ever seen a play produced by
the AU Theatre Department, been to a con­cert
by the AU Symphony Orchestra, seen
the AU Dance Troupe in recital?
It is a shame many students graduate
from Auburn never fully experiencing the
education offered them. Too often, students
spend their entire college career working on
course work or wasting time; never taking
advantage of the fine arts offered at
Auburn.
The arts are something everyone can
enjoy; and considering exposure to the fine
arts should be one of the facets of an educa­tion,
it is a pity more students do not
participate.
The novice need not worry about social
mores or peer pressure when attending a
performance. Everyone has to begin learn­ing
about the arts sometime, and what bet­ter
time than when a student?
Auburn has such a good variety of the
arts from which to choose. The cost is min­imal
and the educational value immense.
An understanding and appreciation for
the arts takes time. Not many people
appreciate opera after their first Verdi per­formance,
or the symphony after hearing a
work by Stravinsky.
But the arts are a vital part of an educa­tion.
What good is a college degree if it can
not be applied to the daily social amenities
that are expected of an educated graduate?
How many people waste time vegetating
to the T-and-A trash on prime-time televi­sion?
One should evaluate his college edu­cation
by examining the time wasted and
the time spent wisely.

Does the average student read literary
classics or smut-filled paperbacks? Does the
average student listen to symphonic music
or plastic top-40? Does, the average student
watch classic cinema or popular multi-million
dollar horror flicks? Does the aver­age
student even read newspapers?
The demand for low-quality entertain­ment
proves that most people are ignorant.
But the student can be an exception
because college offers the opportunity to
become aware of the arts and broaden one's
intellect. To pass up this opportunity is to
pass up a well-rounded education.
How enlightening it is to listen to the
Concert Choir or to watch Woody Allen's
comedy "Play it Again, Sam" being per­formed
by the summer repertory theatre.
There are hundreds of opportunities to
enjoyafinCartsproduction at Auburn. Not
only do the theatre, symphony, ballet and
choir perform quarterly, but there are also
special programs presented by the Univer­sity
Program Council and several fine arts
societies around town.
The "Brahms and Clara" musical
review, or Alabama Shakespeare Festi­val's
"The Importance of Being Earnest"
are just two examples of UPC's special
programs.
An art exhibit like Studio 218 in Foy
Union Gallery, or a visiting string quarter
in Goodwin Recital Hall are just two more
examples of the diverse opportunities to
enjoy the fine arts at Auburn. There are
many examples, too numerous to mention,
that can be experienced at Auburn
throughout the year.
So what is the student's excuse? Often,
class work is so demanding that free time is
spent doing trivial things.
Because of not trying to appreciate the
arts, the student believes he cannot relax
and enjoy something cultural in his spare
time. How wrong he is.
The arts are one of the most appeasing
and enjoyable forms of entertainment
around. Go to a play, concert or recital and
see.
Once a beginner acquires an understand­ing
of the fine arts, a whole new world is,
opened. A world that intertwines and
builds on each new performance, offering
the student a view of life and nature that is
inferior to none.
The man that hath no music in himself
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds
Is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils.
—Shakespeare
Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving,
the most beautiful of the arts, because it is
no mere translation or abstraction from
life; it is life itself.
—Havelock Ellis
All passes. Art alone enduring stays to us.

Todays society judged tomorrow
How will this civilization be remem­bered?
As a society of divisiveness, bent upon
self-destruction with not even a passing
thought to posterity, or as a social entity
dedicated to unity and peace?
We have control of our. destiny, the choice
to sink or swim as a single organism. The
precedents have been set.
In all parts of the globe, the ruins of past
civilizations decorate the landscape:
empty, foreboding, silent. Ominous
reminders of the ravages of time.
The Aztec of Central America, wiped out
in a matter of days by Spanish conquerors,
is remembered for scientific contributions;
but more so for the atrocities committed by
the religious order, known for mass human
sacrifices.
The ancient Greeks were at the pinnacle
of Western civilization, with science and
city-states giv'eh'to effective administra­tion.
Now, however, we view them as a
group of miscreant slave-owners who, at
the apex of their power, could not even hold
territory subjugated by Alexander.
When we look at Rome, we are repulsed
by the debauchery.
Carthage was but a mere flash in the
pan.
How will our society be remembered in a
millenium?
Collectively, we have accomplished
much: the taming of a continent, the scien­tific
revolution, the growth of a society pos­sibly
more diverse than any previous. A
society that bands together to combat pain,
suffering and the mental illness of judg­ment
based on something as arbitrary and
trivial as the color of one's skin, one's reli­gion,
one's national origin—or so we claim.
But we are also part of a society that fails
to stop the damage caused by the destruc­tion
of the landscape, the wanton waste of
irreplacable natural resources and the
accompanying pollution of air and water.
A society that allows the threat of nuclear
holocaust to be used to promote thug-like
big stick diplomacy.
The choice is ours: How do we wish future
generations to remember us?
Do we wish to become another Rome,
remembered for the everyday peccadillos of
our way of life, remembered for the hedo­nistic
self-pursuits of the morally retarded;
or do we wish to be viewed by posterity as a
bastion of freedom, where each had the
right to realize his God-given potential?
This is not a moot question.
Abraham Lincoln once said, "Fellow
citizens, we cannot escape history; we will
be remembered in spite of ourselves. No
personal significance or insignificance can
spare one or another of us. The fiery trial
through which we pass will light us down
in honor or dishonor to the latest genera­tion;
we hold the power, and bear the
responsibility....the dogmas of the quiet
past are inadequate to the stormy present.
The occasion is piled high with difficulty,
and we must rise with the occasion."
Yes, the choice is ours. The issues are
obvious. We must choose our path and
remember the example of history. "We
must all hang together, else we shall all
hang separately."
Being an older student at Auburn
In a community where most of your peers
are between the ages of 18 and 22, a 26-year-old
senior is an oddity. After convincing a
few surprised people that I am on the tail
end of the older generation, I answer all the
perfunctory questions which come from
curious minds.
No, I haven't been a student for eight
years.
Yes, I still get carded when buying beer.
No, I returned to school from the boredom
of employment.
Yes, I know I may not act my age.
"But, what have you been doing for so
long?" asked a friend recently.
Learning. Not schoolbook topics, but the
kind of things which are acquired only
through experience. College is worthwhile
in fertilizing the mind, but it doesn't quite
complete its development. It acts as an
incubator, hatching the young innocents
into a field of real world predators.
You learn that students have an easy life.
Sure, you have to study, write term papers
and attend class occasionally. But, lurking
nearby is the temptation to abandon all
responsibility for a Friday roadtrip.
Apathy is not feasible when employed.
They tend to fire you.
Once you earn your own money, you are
able to finance credit cards, which come
complete with a bill once a month. Money
can buy happiness, but only the non­refundable,
non-returnable variety.

i ___!_
All those nasty four-letter words you
were punished for when young, aren't so
nasty anymore. You learn worse ones.
Free-checking is a myth.
Secretaries are not the mindless idiots
conveyed to the public. They only do what
they are paid to do—keep an ignorant pub­lic
away from their busy boss. Some are just
more effective than others.
You learn not to panic at the sight of red
and blue blinking lights behind your car.
You're old enough to avoid getting caught.
It is more economical to drink a fifth of
liquor in your livingroom than to cruise
bars at night, drunk.
Never discard old, tacky clothes. They
become new fashions in the next life.
Never talk about a stranger while in the
presence of others. It might be them.
You learn that if someone interrupts you
while you're speaking, it is a strong indica­tion
they are not interested in your opinion.
Walk away and let them chatter to some
other opinionated chump.
In the integral makeup of some people is
the need to hide behind doubletalk and play
games with other's minds. You learn to
play too, but make up your own rules as you
go along.
Younger men are cute. Because they're
young.
If you haven't gained a college degree by
age 22, you no longer feel guilty for letting
time lapse. What's a quarter here, a year
there. Maybe by the time you graduate, the
class you dreaded taking will be cancelled.
Besides, when you finally graduate, you
feel obligated to get a job, and work and
play only on annual vacations.
You become adept at recovering from
broken romances, remembering each one
with esoteric fondness. Old flames never
burn out; they can be rekindled by a fleet­ing
gust of wind.
New music fads come and go, but rock
and roll lives, as long as it is still sold in
record stores.
Though new towns seem confusing at
first, they soon become home. And you
wonder why you never left the old one
sooner.
You no longer ask for your parents' per­mission.
They expect you to grow up some­time
and make your own decisions.
And parents get older too. They change
in ways you never thought possible. But,
you can handle it. Remember, you are older
now.
Faded Levis never get too old, just more
comfortable.

Opinion
Punctual death
. "Give us this day our daily bread"
A moderate request stated simply in the
Lord's Prayer. But what if this request were
to be written by a lawyer, how might it be
stated differently?
Possibly, it may read something like this:
"We respectively petition, request and
entreat that due and adequate provision be
made, this day and the date hereinafter
subscribed, for the satisfying of this peti­tioner's
nutritional requirements and for
the organizing of such methods as may be
deemed necessary and proper to assure the
reception by and for said petitioner of such
quantities of baked cereal products as
shall, in the judgment of the aforesaid peti­tioner,
constitute a sufficient supply
thereof."
From the book "Clear Understandings,"
authors Dr. James C. Raymond and
Ronald C. Goldfarb give the above menti-l
oned example of a possible interpretation,
by lawyers, of said simple request. The
book is designed to promote simplicity of
language used in the practice of law.
Among the topics covered in this book,
one chapter is devoted to the subject of
punctuation. Punctuation can have a great
influence on written law, and various
interpretations of punctuation can result in
contrasting judgments of any given law.
The authors give an example in which a
court's interpretation of a Maryland sta­tute
meant the difference between a pri­soner
being set free or receiving the death
penalty.
The law is not the only instance in which
mistakes in punctuation can have grave
consequences. In our increasingly techno­logical
society punctuation is becoming
more and more critical. Misplaced punc­tuation
in a computer program can yield
results entirely different from those
intended, in fact one of the most disastrous
crashes in the early history of guided mis­siles
was the result of a misplaced set of
parentheses.
Personally I don't feel very comfortable
knowing that my fate could rest upon the
placement of a comma or a semicolon. I
would like to think that something a little
more substantial than a period or a paren­thesis
is standing between me and the
hereinafter.
The fact that any of these small mark­ings,
were they to be misplaced, could radi­cally
change my life leaves me feeling quite
disturbed. I am bothered by these thoughts
to such an extent that I have a recurring
nightmare in which I am pinned inside a
gigantic IBM typewriter constantly being
hammered by commas, period, colons and
questions marks. There is no comfort to be
found in the thought that this situation can
only get worse.
So consider yourself warned, but do not
be dismayed for there is little that can be
done. We must simply learn to live with the
world we have created. And, if years from
now, you happen to be strolling through a
city park on a hot summer's day in August,
looking at historical markers and feeding
the pigeons, do not be surprised if you
should come across a statue which bears
the inscription; In memory of the Unknown
Citizen, victim of improper punctuation.
Eskew's azaleas 'worthless'
Editor, The Plainsman,
I have read many articles in the Plains­man
over the seven years that I have been
here. Some have been excellent entertain­ment
and a few were even educational, but
nothing as worthless as Glenn Eskew's edi­torial
last week.
Eskew states, "It is a shame the upkeep
of Auburn is done only for the sake of visit­ing
alumni."
As both an alumnus and a student I ask:
what difference does it make who it is done
for, as long as it gets done?
As for Eskew's implication that Wire
Road was widened for benefit of alumni
only, I can only say that he obviously
doesn't live in a mobile home park in the
Wire Road area. There are probably more
than 4,000 students who travel Wire Road
daily and would disagree with Eskew.
I am sorry, Mr. Eskew, that concrete
sidewalks are ugly; but however ugly they
may be, they serve their purpose well. What
would Eskew have them make a sidewalk
out of? Real brick sidewalks are quite
expensive. I would rather money be used to
increase faculty salaries than build real
brick sidewalks.
Eskew has a position that carries with it
quite a bit of responsibility. I for one would
appreciate some responsible editorials.
Would it be too much to ask for some posi­tive
viewpoints from the Plainsman? If you
are going to be critical in your editorials,
Mr. Eskew, at least find something more
important to criticize than Japanese
plants.

Checks at Book Exchange
Editor, The Plainsman,
Every quarter the Book Exchange mails
out checks to students whose books sold the
previous quarter. Of these checks many are
returned to us because of incorrect
addresses.
The people listed below have checks in
the Alpha Phi Omega Book Exchange
dated prior to July 1, 1983, when checks
were mailed out for Summer Quarter. They
may claim their checks from 9 a.m.-noon
and from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays, during
dead day and finals through August 26,
1983. At that time, all unclaimed checks
will be voided and the proceeds used for
service projects on campus.

We invite students to set their own selling
price for their used books. When they bring
a book to the Book Exchange, they fill out a
simple form including their name and
address, the course number for the book
and the price they want to sell the book for.
We sell books across the counter like any
other bookstore. When the book sells, they
will receive a check for the selling price
minus a 10 percent service charge to cover
operating expenses at the address they
listed on the form. If the book has not sold,
they may pick it up at any time by present­ing
their receipt.

'Kids are kids, it's true Am I just growing old—or are today's
pre-pubescents really just 4-foot, 30-year-olds?
Has anyone else noticed the differ­ence
in the kids of the '80s? To be Sure, they
are a more sophisticated breed than this
20-year-old ever played Barbie dolls with.
The child of 1983 seems more suave,
intelligent and socially aware. Childhood
is still a joyous and mystical phase of life,
but modern tots are, well, just plain differ­ent
from those of 10 or 15 years ago.
Even to the most oblivious observer! the
status consciousness of the average 10-
year-old is apparent. Don't be surprised to
see a fifth-grade boy carrying a copy of
"Dress for Success" in his Gucci book
satchel.
Today's little girl is even more concerned
with proper appearance. Fron head to toe
she's carefully coiffured. Blowdryers, hot
rollers and hairspray help her hairstyle to
resemble Lady Di's, Dorothy Hamill's or
Farrah Fawcett's. My parents had to spray
me down with a garden hose to get me to
take the dreaded bath.
Her blue jeans are stitched by European
designers. When her Ralph Lauren shirt
doesn't color-coordinate with the stripe on
her Tretorn sneakers, attending school
that day is out of the question.
If she does stay home, she'll probably
seek amusement in her home entertain-
Missy
Harris
ment center—-a remote-control, wide-screen,
color T.V. On those rare second-grade
days when I "blew off classes,
(that's when it all started), "Captain Kan­garoo"
provided a morning full of picture-tube
euphoria. Today's elementary student
spends the morning phoning Phil Donahue
to argue abortion.
Yes, Modern Kid knows about you-know-what,
and not just the sketchy facts
acquired on the playground. The youngster
of this generation is fully educated about
sex and is completely comfortable discuss­ing
it.
He knows where babies come from, that
gays are out of the closet, (funny, I always
worried about monsters in the closet) and
that herpes is a social disease. Even though
I never suspected the existence of sex till
about sixth grade, I admit we kids knew
about social diseases. However, we called
them "cooties."
If our modern child isn't into issues,
though, she can plug in—you guessed it—
the home computer. After she programs it
to figure the interest earned on her unpaid
allowance, Pac Man rules the screen.
No discussion of the 1980 s kid is com­plete
without mentioning this video obses­sion.
I've witnessed this addiction first­hand
in my 5-year-old nephew. I awoke one
morning after sleeping on our den couch to
find him waiting patiently to fire up the
Frogger video game. It was 5:30 a.m.
If video: games had been around 10 years
ago, I might have called them "neat-o" or
"groovy." If I was 10-years-old now, I'd
have to say, "Oh mi gawd, like, they're sooo
awesome." On this point I must concede,
though, each generation must have its own
lingo.
The archaic attitude that "children
should be seen and not heard" can get you
in almost as much trouble these days as
asking your secretary to make coffee. Even
children are liberated.
The metamorphosis in children during
the last decade has made them more self-confident,
assertive and wise to the ways of
the world. As much as I applaud children's
new status as first-class citizens, it's rather
sad to see many of the §imple pleasures of
my childhood forgotten.
Scooby Dooby Doo—where are you?
Nonacademic staff deserves recognition
Editor's note: Sheila Eckman, past
chairwoman of the Auburn University
Staff Advisory Council, was asked by the
editorial board of the Plainsman to write
an essay detailing the problems faced by
nonacademic staff at Auburn.
Auburn University's 1983-84 budgeting
process is unique. In the 41 years that Inte­rim
President Wilford S. Bailey has been
concerned with such activities at Auburn,
he has never seen anything like it.
Of startling significance is the fact that
staff are being given special consideration.
People tend to think in terms of clerks
and secretaries when they think of staff.
But the fact is, staff also include many
other classifications. Basically, staff are
support people. The people who make it
possible for the academicians and profes­sionals
to accomplish their goals.
Of these support staff, there are approx­imately
845 clerical workers employed by
Auburn University. These people, along
with several other classifications, are
loosely united under the banner of the
Auburn University Staff Advisory Coun­cil.
Its concerns are carried to the adminis­tration
through Personnel Director Robert
Schultz.
Until recently, very few people knew of
the Council's existence. Things have defi­nitely
been low profile. Not long ago, how­ever,
the Council appealed to the adminis­tration
for an update of its original 1973
charge. A new charge was accepted; goals
and rights were more clearly defined.
The Auburn University Staff Advisory
Council has "come out of the closet." Min­utes
of its meetings are now published in
the AU Report; the Council has been
addressed by members of the Presidential
Search Committee, which sought its input
into the search process; and Bailey has met
with the membership to explain the 1983-84
budgeting process.
In short, credibility has been established.
Like all University employees, staff are
concerned about salary. But they under­stand
that the same plague that afflicts
faculty also infects staff—the inability to
hire at competitive rates or to keep the out­standing
employee.
It is possible for an entry-level typist
going to work for the State of Alabama to
start at almost $2,000 more yearly than if
she were to go to work for Auburn Univer­sity.
(And $2,000, to a typist, might be as
much as 25 percent of her annual income!)
Guest Editorial
• Sheila Eckman
The special consideration being given
staff this year is greatly appreciated. Not
every staff member will receive a raise,
however. Administrators have been given
the flexibility to reward staff personnel on
the basis of exceptional merit, to correct
imbalances within their budgets and to
address inequities that might exist,
been most productive. (Nothing offends the
above-average employee quite like an
across-the-board increase.)
In his talk to the Staff Advisory Council,
Bailey was quick to point out that adminis­trators
campus-wide have endorsed the
idea of special consideration for staff.
Endorsement has also come from the Uni­versity
Senate, in the form of a resolution.
The result has been much like a liberal
application of Solarcaine after a long day
at the beach.
But how did we reach this state? What led
Auburn to the position that an unprece­dented
budgeting action was needed to take
up the slack?
Auburn University has failed to recog­nize
two things: the dwindling availability
of the student-wife as cheap labor and the
forced entry into the marketplace of wives
and mothers who are trying to take up the
gap brought on by economic conditions
nationwide.
Young women are no longer as likely to
be found "putting hubby through" college.
They are, like their husbands, borrowing
the money and going to college themselves.
And wife/mother employees are no longer
working for "extras." (This has always
been a nebulous concept, anyway, and is
not unique to the University. One wonders
if it has not been fostered by those who
wanted to feel at ease with maintaining low
salary scales.) The overwhelming majority
of these women work to help make ends
meet. Period.
Auburn University needs to recognize
the staff employee as a career employee.
There needs to be a more sophisticated
classification system which would make it
more advantageous for employees to pro­mote
and which would, especially, allow
the upward mobility of employees within a
position as the duties of that position
change.
Consider the veteran secretary to one of
Auburn's department heads. She has had
the same classification for the last 15 years.
Within that time, the department has
grown considerably, she has more people to
supervise and the system itself has become
more sophisticated. She does not have the
job she had 15 years ago. But she has the
same title and a comparable salary.
Assume she wants to make a change, to
promote to a higher position. The few posi­tions
above hers open very rarely and are,
traditionally, filled from within. But in the
event she does decide to accept another
position, she will leave a job she likes, peo­ple
she likes and a system she knows inside
out for approximately $360 a year! (The
average increase for an employee moving
from one classification to the next.) Her
department will have lost a valued
employee. There is no guarantee that she
will like her new position or that she will be
as effective jn it—quite a gamble for $360.
What is needed, besides a more advan-tegeous
promotion policy, is a range within
job classifications. Rather than "Staff
Secretary," for instance, Auburn needs
"Staff Secretary I, Staff Secretary II," and
so forth. People need to know they are
going somewhere, whether or not such a
change is related to gigantic salary
increases. They need to know they are pro­gressing.
The implemention of such a pro­gram
should be a project of imminent con­cern
to University Personnel Services.
Just as academicians progress from
Instructor to Assistant Professor to Asso­ciate
Professor, staff need to have some
measure of achievement.
And staff need recognition.
Bailey has come a long way in that
regard. His willingness to meet with the
Council, to explain the budgeting process
and to take questions from the floor exem­plifies
what staff has always known—that
they are a vital part of the University
family.
Recognition is not just flowers during
National Secretaries' Week. Recognition is
sincere, eyeball-to-eyeball verbal thanks
when deserved. Recognition is non- ;
patronizing communication. It is the •
acknowledgement of a good idea offered.
And these things, as Bailey so well
understands, cannot be budgeted.

Tillman said there had been no
discussion about a visitors' infor­mation
center.
In spring quarter, several addi­tions
were made to on-street park­ing,
but these did not alleviated the
problem.
Rumors of a parking deck on
campus are likely to remain just
that. Tillman expressed doubt about
Auburn ever getting funds to build a
deck.
"No one wants to give money to
have their name on a parking gar-
Cocaine
and turning for about an hour, the
cocaine finally wore off and I man­aged
to get to sleep.
I had had my first encounter with
cocaine, and the days and weeks to
follow were to find my enjoyment
slowly increasing and my desire
quietly getting stronger.
My roommates and I began using
cocaine several times a week and we
soon found ourselves broke.
Cocaine is known as "the rich
man's drug" and for good reason at
$100 a gram. Therefore, as business-minded
college students, we decided
it wasn't necessary to pay $100 a
gram for what we could retail and
have all we wanted for nothing.
A quarter of an ounce can be
bought for $500, and the approxi­mate
seven grams can be sold for
$100 each, leaving the "dealer with
$200 to spend on his own habit."
This habit is based not on a physi­cal
addiction, but a psychological
addiction. Cocaine tugs at the mind
to convince the user that he wants
more. Heavy users will sell almost
anything for just a gram of cocaine,
and at all hours of the night.
As Ed used to say, "it makes you
feel like a new man, the only prob­lem
is, the first thing that a new
man wants is another line."
I lived in that house for six
months and during that time I did a
lot of cocaine and made good money
selling it.
One day, just before our lease ran
out, a man named Julio came by to
age. And it would also be one of the
most expensive solutions to the
parking problem," Tillman said.
Although the ultimate goal of the
University planners is to achieve an
"academic core" with very little
traffic penetration, there are no
immediate plans to tear down on-campus
housing or the Child Study
Center and surrounding buildings.
Tillman did not want to name
buildings that might face demoli­tion
in the future.
He suggested that the remainder
of the old physical plant complex,
located behind the Engineering I
building might be torn down.
"But you have to remember that
the building contains valuable
office space that is not so easily
replaced." he added.
The old Student Act will probably
serve as interim clasrooms for the
ROTC until their facility, to be
located adjacent to the ROTC han­gar,
is completed in 1985.
"We can't tear down one structure
until we have accommodations for
Continued from page 1
those displaced," he continued.
A transit system was also sug­gested
in the Master Plan.
Tillman said he knew of some
"dialogue" that had taken place
about the possibility of a shuttle
service for the campus, although
funding would be a major problem.
Tillman would most like to see a
"strong commitment to long-range
planning from campus leaders,
deans, department heads, students
and faculty" to expedite the plan­ning
process.
see us. Julio had been one of our cus­tomers
for about a month.
As Julio walked through the front
door, an eerie feeling came over me,
like something was wrong. And at
that precise moment, Julio pulled a
badge out of his jacket and said he
had a warrant for our arrest. As I
looked up two plain police cars
swerved in our driveway.
I went temporarily insane; my
mind wrenched with regret and
anger at myself.
The 26 hours I spent in jail were
the most agonizing hours in my life.
I felt that my entire career, my entire
life, was now worthless because of
my stupidity.
I found it impossible to live with
myself. Day after day, every minute
of the day, my mind was torn apart
because of what I had done.
I eventually pleaded guilty to the
possession charge, and in turn, the
state dropped the sales charge. I
slowly counted the days to my sen­tencing,
fully realizing that the
maximum I could get was 10 years
in the state penitentiary.
Continued from page 1
My day in court finally came, and
I stood snaking in front of the judge;
I was well aware that the rest of my
life depended on that man.
As the words "I sentence you to..."
came out of his mouth, my heart
stopped. By the grace of God he
uttered, "three years probation and
a $1,500 fine." I was so happy I
almost cried and I must have
thanked my lawyer a thousand
times.
After a few months I have had my
probation transferred to another
state, changed schools and have
never done, nor will I ever do cocaine
again. Somebody up there spared
me and I won't take a second
chance.
I was lucky. Most users end up
spending their entire salary on
cocaine. Many will spend their lives
in the pretentious world of drugs
and many never come back. Believe
me, I was there!

Telfair Peet hosts American folk tale
DARK OF THE MOON
.Owens, Naccari, Tosney, and Tyree join the cast
By Libby Crawford
Entertainment Editor
The AU Summer Theatre will
present its final production of the
season, "Dark of the Moon," this
weekend in the Telfair Peet Theatre.
"Dark of the Moon" is a mystic
drama of authentic folklore that
combines equal parts of humor,
rousing backwoods melody and
theatricality to create a truly unique
tapestry of American legend.
The story takes place in the
Smoky Mountains of the Carolinas
and tells of a mysterious boy's love
for a beautiful maiden; however, the
boy has a problem in that he is a
witch.
The love the boy feels for the girl
compels him to sacrifice his witch-form
for one year in hopes of wooing
and winning the girl. But, the jeal­ousy
of the mountain spirits and the
superstitions of the girl's people
make it impossible for their ill-fated
love to triumph.
"Dark of the Moon" was written
by Howard Richardson and William
Berney and has received much criti­cal
acclaim. The New York Times
called it "the kind of play an
audience instinctively hopes to like.
It is off the beaten path, far removed
from drawing room comedy and
battered farce."
"Dark of the Moon" also won the
Maxwell Anderson Award at Stan­ford
for the best American poetic
drama in 1942.
The production of this American
folk tale features Perry Leopard of
Opelika as the witch boy and Lisa
Tucci of Orlando, Fla., as the girl,
Barbara Allen.
Other cast members include Cat-hleen
Owens of Opp, John Hallum
of Huntsville, Barry Gardner of
Jackson Gap, Donald Naccari of
Birmingham and Brad Mooy of
Waco, Texas.
Lois Garren will direct the produc­tion
which will run August 4-6 at 8
p.m. and August 7 at 2 p.m. in the
Telfair Peet Theatre.
Tickets for the show are $4 for
adults and $3 for students, senior
citizens and youth. Reservations
may be made by calling the AU
Theatre Box Office at 826-4154. The
box office will be open for window
sales at 2 p.m. today.

believable adaption of Allen's fam­ous
screenplay.
The first scene opened in the
apartment of Allan Felix, a recently
divorced film critic expertly played
by Keith Cox, a bespectacled Woody
Allen lookalike. From his continual
pacing and stuffing his hands in his
pockets to his inept romantic
advances, this aspirin-addicted
hypochondriac captured the atten­tion
of the audience.
The ghost of Allan's hero,
Humphrey Bogart, who was played
by Wesley Phinney III, appeared in
his mind to advise him on the finer
points of romance. At first, Phin-ney's
lines were hard to hear, prob­ably
because of the emphasis on the
famous lisp and not the resonance of
his voice. But, after the first few
appearances, Phinney came to life
in a vibrant, most Bogie-like per­formance.
He controlled the lisp, the
tone of rapid lines, the walk and the
dangling cigarette with finesse.
Tim Quebedeaux, as Dick Chris­tie,
Allan's best friend, and Hayden
O'Rear as Dick's neurotic, insecure
wife, played their parts effectively.
Quebedeaux carried off the aloof
businessman a bit dryly at first. His
role could have been improved by
more lines earlier in the play. The
human side of his character was
redeemed in the final act when he
suspected Linda of an affair and
appealed to Allan for help; this he
did convincingly.
O'Rear warmly portrayed Linda,
a sensitive and realistic friend to
Allan. Her character was well-defined
by the equally neurotic ges­tures
and sense of helplessness that
Cox displayed. The two exchanged
lines with a natural ease, flowing
from one scene to another.
Rebecca Ryals gave a colorful por­trayal
of Allan's callous, restless ex-wife
who found her husband inade­quate
to her needs.
Allan had a string of dates
arranged by Linda and Dick. These
were brief, but played well by Eliza­beth
Haas, Kaye Woodke, Kim
Richards, Bevelyn Lummis, Susan
Duncan and Tinnon Tyree.
Tyree's character of the intellec­tual
girl was especially noteworthy.
Her ravings about the philosophies
of the darker side of life from a
museum drew an ovation from the
audience.
The lighting, effectively organ­ized
by William Rich, cast a blue tint
on the scenes when Allan recalled
incidents, romanticized about
future events and brought Bogie to
life.
One of the more memorable
scenes occurred in the final act,
when a trenchcoat-clad Bogart
demonstrated how to dump a
trenchcoat-clad Linda in one of
Allan's fantasies. The scene was
reminiscent of the final goodbye in
"Casablanca" at the fog-laiden air­port.
The cutting lines were
exchanged with feeling and guts;
Bogart let her down hard, slapped
her and retreated into the misty
night.
The cozy set, designed by Bill
Evans, blended well with the infor­mal
atmosphere of the room, with
most of the audience sitting around
dinner tables. The striped wall­paper,
sofa and bannister pre­sented
a believable New York
apartment.
The AU theatre department
should be commended for its innov­ative
approach to a summer show.
The dinner was delicious and
handled well. The expertise of the
comedy and the manner in which it
was presented offered a most enjoy­able
evening.

FILM
From "Bambi Meets Godzilla," to
"Moonshadow," to "Pink Splash,"
the "Fantastic Animation Festival"
has something for everybody.
The movie is a conglomeration of
14 different short animated master­pieces,
ranging from vintage
Superman to "Light," a surrealistic
piece of animation.
The animation varies from clip to
clip. Some are drawings while oth­ers
are clay figures. None are the
cartoony balderdash that we have
come to expect from Saturday morn­ing
TV.
The opening is "French Doors," a
mind-bending bit of color and
fevered imagination set to music by
Pink Floyd. Swirling figures dance
through a myriad of tones and
shades.
"Moonshadow" was sung and
illustrated by Cat Stevens. He calls
it the true story of how the moon fell
to earth one day and took him and
his cat for a ride. The real trick is for
Stevens to return the moon to the
sky after he has finished with it.
"Pink Splash" has no pink in it.
Beautifully animated and well
thought out, it is still a gloomy story
set in an otherwise fun movie. The
clip shows the kindness and the
shortcomings of mankind. It doesn't
bring you down, but it makes you
think.
A fantastic world of clay was
created for "Mountain Music." Well-sculptured
people play their music
for all of nature and the animals to
enjoy...at first. But the musicians
get out of hand, creating dishar­mony
in the mountain scene, and
nature decides to retaliate.
"Bed and Board" has shown
many times on Showtime as one of
its shorts. It depicts the life of a per­son
born and growing old in a little
room that has only one exit. The
person tries in vain to open the door
right up to his dying day. Even the
audience wonders what is behind
the door. Thoughts of "the meaning
of life" flash through your mind's
eye, and when the door finally does
open, you find a little surprise and
not too much disappointment.
The "Fantastic Animation Festi­val"
is a finely drafted bit of enjoy­ment.
It releases the mind to wander
through corridors of the unima-gined
and unforgettable.
It's the midnight movie this week
by ACS at Dudley Hall.
—Dave Benson
of being a victim of the Big
U~unemployment.
The idea for "The Survivors" orig­inated
with producer William Sack-heim,
who became intrigued with
survivalism several years ago.
Williams says t h a t he was
attracted to the project for several
reasons. "First of all, after 'Garp' I
wanted to do a far-out comedy, and
'The Survivors' certainly qualifies."
"Secondly, I like the basic
premise~if we stick together it will
all work out," Williams says.
"The Survivors" does include
quality acting performances by Wil­liams
and Matthau, and the plot is
fresh and original.
However, there is one thing that
'The Survivors" does lack, and that
is an adequate ending. Instead of
ending with a flair, the final scenes
of 'The Survivors" were anti-cli­matic.
It would seem the writers and pro­ducers
attempted to save a little bit
of time and a lot of expense by using
a cheap conclusion to end what
would otherwise be a terrific story.

HIGH DICE
Aug. 4, 5 , & 6
Veteran actor Walter Matthau,
funnyman Robin Williams and
country western superstar Jerry
Reed have teamed up for Columbia
Pictures' latest summer comedy,
"The Survivors."
Matthau plays the part of a gas
station proprietor, Sonny Paluso,
who watches as his establishment
goes up in flames, thanks to a care­lessly
tossed cigarette butt.
Williams plays a rising sales
executive whose upward mobility is
stopped cold when he's canned by
his boss' parrot.
Reed plays the part of John Locke,
a gun-for-hire who discovers that
his firm-the Mob-isn't recession
proof.
The three men share a common
predicament: how to survive in a
society where no one is safe from the
economic chaos of our time, where
every man stands an equal chance

Athletes' role
in society
still intact
You may not have known this,
but the football fans of Louisiana
State University made Billy Can­non
print $6 million worth of
phony bills. Don't believe me? Why
not ask J. C. Politz, the man who
described LSU football games in
1959, the year Cannon won the
Heisman Trophy. He'll tell you.
"Whatever he (Cannon) did was
our fault," Politz was quoted as
saying in the July 24 edition of the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"We made him bigger than life.
And if you ask me, we are all guilty
of whatever crimes Billy Cannon
committed."
That's very noble of Politz to
accept the blame, but neither he
nor any one of those other Louisi­ana
arm-twisters are the ones who
could spend 30 years behind bars.
However, it doesn't take a Phila­delphia
lawyer to figure out that
Cannon probably won't spend one
day in the big house. Selective
enforcement, I believe, is the term
my criminology teacher used to
characterize situations such as
these.
The list of athletes being hauled
before the commissioner of their
sport or into court is growing these
days, and yet they remain free to
roam the playing fields. However,
the hierarchy in every professional
sport long ago realized the grow-'
ing problems within their sport
and designed alcohol and drug
rehabilitation programs.
At the time the programs were
established, all thought that was
See MARSHALL page 11
Owens faced few problems in breaking barrier
By Karen Harrell
Plainsman Sportswriter
It's only been a little more than a
decade since James Owens made
the decision to play football for
Auburn University, but his choice
may have opened the door for others,
to follow in his footsteps.
Owens broke precedent when he
became the first black to sign a foot­ball
scholarship with Auburn in
1968. But according to Owens, race
had little to do with his decision to
come to the Plains.
"My parents and I came to visit
and really liked the people, the play­ers
and the coaches here. I thought
about it (the race issue) a great deal,
but I come from a very religious fam­ily
and we prayed over it and left it
up to the Lord. Color didn't seem to
matter any,"explained Owens.
Besides being the first black foot­ball
player at Auburn, Owens has a
place in the Auburn record book.
Against Florida in 1970, he scam-,
pered 89 yards on a punt return to
place him second only to Bobby
Freeman, who returned a kick for 95
yards against Chattanooga in 1953.
H I S T O R Y MAKER Photography: A.U. Archives S.I.D.
.Owens' first collegiate touchdown was on 89-yard punt return
Aside from that punt return,
.Owens claims to only have been an
average football player. He said
that in his years at Auburn he
played almost every position except
quarterback. After he completed his
eligibility in 1972, a knee injury that
he received during pre-season work­outs
with the New Orleans Saints
killed any hopes for a pro career and
he was cut the last day of camp.
"It hurt me because all I'd ever
dreamed of was having a career. I
returned home to Birmingham and
coached for a year but couldn't stay
because I didn't have a degree,"he
said.
Owens has since returned to
Auburn after a 10-year absence to
finish school and get a degree in
marketing. He is currently a student
coach on the football team and
hopes by his example he will
encourage current Auburn football
players to finish school, regardless
of their pro football aspirations.
"When I went to school I didn't
believe in education. I only came to
play football because I believed I'd
make money playing professional
ball. When I was injured that dream
was killed. I try to talk to the players
on the team and show them that
there is no guarantee of a football
career, that school is also impor­tant,"
said Owens.
Owens played on the same team
as Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sul­livan
for two years and was coached
by Ralph "Shug" Jordan. Owens
said that the coaches and the play­ers
made a special effort to make
him feel at home, especially when he
first came to Auburn. He met his
wife Gloria during his junior year,
but for his first two years, he said he
had no social life.
"It didn't really bother me that I
had no social life. I didn't date much
in high school, so I didn't miss it. I
just concentrated on football and
school. The few blacks at Auburn
didn't have cars so we just stayed
home," said Owens.
Football players today have a bet­ter
chance to use their full potential
both in the classroom and on the
field, said Owens.
"When I was going to school we
didn't have tutors or advisers," he
said. "I never even filled out a sche­dule
or went through drop and add. I
didn't know what drop and add
was."
"On the field today the players are
bigger, faster and stronger. They
also have better equipment to work
with, such as game films being
computerized, and they are able to
tell more about what the player is'
doing wrong."
Auburn basketball recruits shine
By Paul Sullivan
Plainsman Sportswriter
Basketball experts have evalu­ated
the recruiting by Auburn head
coach Sonny Smith as a banner
effort, and the performances of his
signees during the summer confirm
their beliefs.
Frank Ford, a 6-4 guard from Kis-simmee,
Fla., played in a variety of
all-star games and has performed
well.
Ford scored 31 points, grabbed 12
rebounds and was tabbed as MVP
as he led Team Florida against the
Soviet Junior National Team.
Ford, Florida's Mr. Basketball,
also played a key role in Florida's
winning the national title in the 11-
team USA-AAU Junior National
Men's 19-Year-Old and Under
Tournament held in Jacksonville,
Fla. Ford had 32 points and nine
rebounds as Florida ended New
York-Riverside's four-year domina­tion
of the tournament with a two-overtime
victory over New York in
the finals.
Ford has been scheduled to play in
the annual North-South All-Star
Basketball game in Orlando, Fla.,
and possibly the AAU tournaments
on the same day. He has also been
selected for the Russian tour with
the U.S. AAU team this month, but
has decided to decline the
invitation.
Three of Auburn's other signees,
6-6 forward Terry Martin of Atlanta,
6-2 guard Gerald White of Augusta,
Ga., and 6-10 center Michael
Rutledge of Centerville, Ala., played
for the undefeated Atlanta team in
the Boston Shootout during the
early summer.
Martin averaged 25.5 points and
11 rebounds a game, and was named
Shootout MVP after Atlanta's 95-90
win against Chicago in the finals.
White also contributed to Atlanta's
run as he scored 24 points in each of
the first two games and had 13
assists during the tournament.
Rutledge hit 12 of 15 field goal
attempts and had 14 rebounds in the
three games. Rutledge also partici­pated
in the Alabama High School
All-Star game in Tuscaloosa last
, weekend and scored nine points and
collected seven rebounds.

Florida, Maryland bring balanced attack to Auburn
Photography: Bryan Easley
SCRAMBLING FOR A TITLE
.Florida's hopes for first SEC title rest heavily on Peace
By Mike Marshall
Sports Editor
In keeping with the string of tor­rid
opposition in 1983, Auburn will
tangle with the Maryland Terrapins
in the midst of their stretch SEC
run.
Maryland, one of eight bowl
teams the Tigers face this year, was
the surprise of the Atlantic Coast
Conference last year, finishing the
regular season with an 8-3 record
and an Aloha Bowl invitation in
their first year under head coach
Bobby Ross.
In 1982, Maryland relied heavily
on the arm of Boomer Esiason and
the running of Willie Joyner. That
combination will again be the Ter­rapins'
bread and butter as Esiason,
who threw for 2,302 yards and 18
touchdowns last year, and Joyner,
the team's leading rusher with 1,039
yards in 1982, will return for their
senior seasons.
Seven other starters return from
last year's offense, including Esia-son's
favorite targets, flanker Greg
Hill and split end Russell Davis.
Joining Joyner in the Terrapins
backfield will be sophomore Rick
Badanjek, who scored nine times as
a co-regular at fullback last year. He
will back Joyner at tailback this
year. Fullback Dave D'Addio will be
the other regular in the backfield.
He rushed for 237 yards and three
touchdowns in 1982.
Maryland's offensive line is a
massive one, with all five projected
starters weighing more than 260
pounds. Ron Solt, a 6-4, 265-pound
Ail-American candidate at guard,
leads the line. The other starters
include: Leonard Lynch (6-3, 260) at
guard, Harry Venezia (6-4,280) and
Greg Harraka (6-3, 260) at the tack­les
and Kevin Glover (6-2, 260) at
center.
Maryland's defense has been sev­erely
depleted with eight starters
departing from last year's squad.
However, two part-time starters,
tackles Pete Kock and Tyrone Fur-man,
return to help stabilize Mary­land's
Wide-Tackle-Six defense.
At the outside linebacker position,
returning starter J.D. Gross leads
the pack along with senior Brian
Baker. Eric Wilson, a 6-2, 235-
pounder is a returning starter at
inside linebacker. Wilson was the
Terps' second leading tackier last
year and is being touted as an all-star
candidate. Bobby DePaul (5-11,
225), a junior letterman, will be the
other inside linebacker.
Two starters return in Maryland's
three-man secondary. Lendell
Jones, the ACC leader in intercep­tions
last year, returns at one of the
cornerback positions along with
Clarence Baldwin. Sophomore Al
Covington is the safety.
Florida will invade Jordan-Hare
Stadium prior to Maryland's ar­rival.
The Gators, considered a
serious contender for the SEC title
the last two years, are not being lav­ished
with as lofty rankings this
year, though one pre-season publi­cation,
Game Plan, picked Florida
to win its first Southeastern Confer­ence
championship in 1983.
The Gators' championship hopes
have been diminished somewhat by
a pre-season injury to quarterback
Wayne Peace. Peace, the nation's
leader in passing efficiency last
year, has suffered a slipped disc and
his status for the Gators' early con­tests
is questionable.
However, should Peace be
healthy, Florida's offense could be
lethal. Florida has finally found
some fleet running backs, and head
coach Charley Pell is going to make
full use of that speed this year.
In spring workouts, Pell moved
John L. Williams, an extremely
promising tailback prospect, to ful­lback.
Williams was the Gators'
third leading rusher last year with
404 yards as a freshman and
showed flashes of brilliance at
times.
He will be joined in the backfield
by two other burners, Neal Ander­son
and Lorenzo Hampton. Ander­son
is considered the starter right
now, but Hampton, who rushed for
665 yards in 1982, could emerge as
the starter if he gets out of Pell's
doghouse.
There's more speed at wide
receiver as Dwayne Dixon, a pre­season
All-SEC choice, returns.
Dixon was the Gators' top receiver
last year with 45 catches for 589
yards. The other wide receiver will
be either Bee Lang or Gary Rolle,
neither of whom saw much varsity
action last year.
Florida's offensive line.though it
lost two starters will be manned
ably by guards John Hunt and
Buddy Schulthesis and tackle
Lomas Brown. A new face in the
offensive line could be Jeff Zim­merman,
ranked one of the top five
high school linemen in the country
last year.
With eight starters back, Florida's
defense will be among the best in th e
SEC. Leading the charge will be Ail-
American linebacker Wilbur Mar­shall.
Marshall, who was named to
virtually every All-America team
last year, was the leading Gator
tackier with 70 solo tackles and 53
assists. He will be joined at outside
linebacker by Patrick Miller, a 6-1,
208-pound sophomore.
At inside linebacker, Florida is
short-handed since 1982 starters
Fernando Jackson and Tom Weig-mann
are gone. The top candidates
at the position are Fred McCallister,
a 6-1, 236-pound senior, and sopho­mores
Frank McCarthy and Leon
Pennington.
Florida's defensive line returns all
three starters. Noseguard Tim New­ton,
a legitimate contender for all-star
honors, and tackle Roy Harris
are the leaders. The other defensive
line starter will be Alton Jones, a
starter in Florida's first four games
last year before being sidelined with
a knee injury.
The secondary also returns three
starters. Tony Lilly, the Gators'
third leading tackier last year, is
another all-star candidate at free
safety. The other returning secon­dary
starters are strong safety
Randy Clark and cornerback Ricky
Easmon. Roger Sibbald, a converted
quarterback, will be the other cor­nerback
starter.

Beta Alpha Psi Now 2-2
The Crazy Aces fell short by
one run again with this week.
After loosing by one run last
week, it was a hard lose to swol-low
especially since they played
such good defense. The first
inning opened with a 5-3 score in
favor of Beta Alapha Psi. When
the Crazy Aces took the field in
the 2nd inning, they were able to
hold Beta Alpha Psi to only one
run. It was a homerun by Inzina,
but it was to be the last run
scored by Beta Alpha Psi for the
rest of the game. Despite Crazy
Aces' defensive efforts in the
next 3 innings (3 up and 3 down)
they needed they were unable to
put the needed points on the
board. They were to score only 2
more runs and were behind one
run at the bottom of the 5th. Beta
Alpha Psi was able to contain
what appear to be a promising
drive and upped their record 2-2.

Thursday, August 4, 1983 W)t Auburn plainsman Page 11
Playboy predicts Plainsmen to prosper
By David Granger
Plainsman Sportswriter
Playboy magazine's Anson
Mount has picked Auburn to win the
1983 national championship and
several other publications have
ranked Auburn near the top.
Mount, who is recognized as one
of the top prognosticators in the bus­iness,
says that Auburn is the "not­able
exception" among SEC teams
who "fatten their won-lost records
a g a i n s t weak non-conference
opponents."
"The Tigers are not only the best
team in the South," Mount says in
his article, "they have a rugged
schedule that will prove their excel-
Marshall—
• the honorable and sensible thing
to do. Surely, if given the means to
tackle a problem that would
threaten their career they would do
BO.
Now, with drug and alcohol
abuse said to be reaching almost
epidemic proportions in sports,
those who were heaping praise on
Bowie Kuhn and Pete Rozelle are
singing a different tune.
Instead of enrolling athletes in
the rehabilitation programs, crit­ics
are saying they should be
treated like ordinary citizens.
That's like telling the Russians to
throw away all their nuclear wea­pons.
As long as there's been a
criminal justice system, a double
standard has existed for enter­tainers,
politicians and other
assorted big-wigs.
Athletes fall into the entertain­ment
category, and even if the
lence. The whole squad is loaded
with top-drawer talent. The defen­sive
line, led by Doug Smith, is the
nation's best."
Mount chose Smith as first team
All-American and listed Bo Jackson
as one of the best running backs in
the country.
Mount's predictions will be pub­lished
in the September issue of
Playboy, and the Playboy's All-
American team will be featured in a
60-minute television special that
will air in major markets during
August and September.
Two other magazines have picked
Auburn to finish in the nation's Top
10. Street and Smith's placed
Auburn third behind Nebraska and
Texas while Game Plan gave
Auburn a ninth place ranking.
Game Plan is one of the few publica­tions
not picking the Tigers as the
favorite to win the conference
championship, picking Auburn as
the conference's second best team
behind Florida.
Alabama, facing its first season
under Ray Perkins, is ranked fifth
nationally by Athlon, but the Crim­son
Tide is missing in several Top
20s.
Other SEC teams predicted to fin­ish
high nationally include: LSU,
ranked eighth by Athlon, ninth by
Street and Smith's and 15th by
Game Plan; Florida, picked eighth
by Game Plan; and Georgia, chosen
by Game Plan to finish 14th in the
nation.
Several Tigers have also been
selected as All-Star candidates.
Game P l a n ' s pre-season Ail-
American team includes Ed West at
tight end, David Jordan at offensive
tackle and Doug Smith at defensive
tackle. Bo Jackson is a running
back on the Athlon All-American
list. Lionel James, Donnie Humph­rey,
Dowe Aughtman, Ben Thomas,
Greg Carr and David King have
also been listed as all-stars.
double standard was wiped out for
a t h l e t e s , such a demolition
wouldn't last long these days.
Although one no longer dismisses
rampant deviance within a sport
as rumor, and we are appalled
that sports pages are flooded with
stories about investigations and
convictions, fans would not stand
for star running backs or pitchers
being jailed for extended periods of
time. It would be too radical a
switch from past policy.
Last week, the NFL got the
inside dope about four of its sub­jects,
Ross Browner, Peter John­son,
E.J. Junior and Greg Stem-rick,
and suspended them from the
first part of the coming season.
The week before, Bowie Kuhn
Continued from page 9
fined Los Angeles Dodger pitcher
Steve Howe $50,000 for repeated
cocaine use. Both moves were
unprecedented.
In both cases the double stand­ard
remains in effect, and it's safe
to assume that it always will.
The bottom line is that sports are
a form of entertainment and if a
commissioner or a judge deprives
an oilman or a senator of seeing a
former Heisman Trophy winner
lead his favorite team to the Super
Bowl, then he's going to make
some kind of move to change that
policy. Just like the one they're
going to make in Louisiana to keep
another former Heisman Trophy
winner out of jail for counter­feiting.
