Final budget awaits approval
By Kim Best
Assistant News Editor
Auburn University has been
approved to receive an estimated
$72.4 million in state funds pend­ing
approval from the joint legis­lative
budget committee.
The Alabama Commission on
Higher Education has made their
final recommendations and
adjustments to the proposed
University budget for fiscal year
1985-86.
Commission spokeswoman
Debbie Lane said that the com­mission
will go before the joint
legislative budget committee
today to present an overview of
the proposed budgets for the
state funded universities.
The commission has approved
.an increase of 26.5 percent in
funds for the fiscal year begin­ning
next October compared to
the 33 percent increase requested
by the University.
Included in the $72 million
allotted to Auburn is $60,127,000
for regular academic programs,
$3,774,000 for research and pub­lic
services and $18,000 for nurs­ing
scholarships.
In a significant departure from
past years, the commission rede­fined
the procedure for allotting
money to the Veterinary School
of Medicine. According to Lane,
in the past funds for the vet
school were included in the
money allotted to the University
for regular academic programs.
This year, however, the com­mission
allotted an entire budget
of $8,180,000 to the vet school
alone and an additional $318,000
to the veterinary teaching hospi­tal
and clinic.
An additional $9,823,000 were
allotted to the University in the
form of one-time monies.
This money will go to faculty
and equipment renewal, to
increase library holdings and for
quality enhancement.
The commission has devised a
statewide budget that is within
the realm of money available this
year instead of submitting a
budget that goes over the amount
of money already on hand.
Because of this, said Lane,"the
number of dollars available will
fund almost all of the critical
needs of the schools."
The average increase in funds
allotted to the schools is approx­imately
22.5 percent per school
over the amount that was allotted
to each school for fiscal year '84-
85, added Lane.
Administrators from Auburn
are scheduled to go before the
joint legislative budget commit­tee
on Jan. 16 to present justifica­tions
for the requested budget.
Coed's harassment ends in arrest

PEDESTRIAN LAWBREAKERS—These two students have a
lot of nerve breaking t h i s provision of t h e long list of campus
and city regulations. Considering t h e enthusiasm with which
these rules a r e enforced, the t w o could wind up w i th a ticket.
The sign, however, has cut down on t h e pedestrian congestion
at t h i s crosswalk on Thach Ave. One might wonder if it h a s
given some drivers the idea t h a t it is illegal for them to stop for
pedestrians here. Sometimes, i t seems t h a t way. In any case, it

Auburn city and University
Police were called to War Eagle
Cafeteria Tuesday afternoon to
investigate a reported threat to
an Auburn coed by a man who
earlier had been charged with
threatening her with a pistol.
Tracy Hope Anderson filed
charges of menacing and assault.
in the third degree against Tho­mas
Ford of Susan Drive, Mont­gomery.
A few hours after Ford's
arrest, David Botto, Anderson's
employer, called police and
reported Ford was there and
"harassing Anderson."
Ford.who was released on
bond pending trial in Municipal
Court Monday.was charged with
threatening to kill Anderson in
. her Eagles West Apartment Dec.
30 with a semiautomatic .22-
caliber pistol, according to an
Auburn City Police news release.
The release said Ford may
have beaten Anderson with his
fists, leaving "visible marks."
Police did not apprehend Ford
in War Eagle, possibly because of
a vague description. Auburn
Police described Ford on the
radio as "short and white."
Anderson was interviewed by
telephone Sunday and said,
"This is a domestic affair, and I
really don't think this is any­body's
business but my own."
Botto, contacted by phone
Wednesday, declined to comment
on the War Eagle incident. He
said, "Comment could jeopardize
the safety of my employee and
could cause problems when the
case goes to court."
Auburn Police declined to give
the amount of Ford's bond. The
official statement Tuesday morn­ing
was, "The warrants for arrest
have been served."
An Auburn Police officer said
warrants were sent to Montgo­mery
for police there to serve. It
later was learned that Ford was
free and on campus in Auburn.
Auburn Police have also
refused to identify Ford as the
man they arrested on the basis
that they do not release names of
misdemeanor offenders. The
Plainsman learned of the name
and asked Auburn Police for con­firmation.
Their spokesman said,
"We did not release the name, and
you can not say we did." How­ever,
they did broadcast Ford's
name over the air when the War
Eagle call went out.
I n v e s t i g a t i o n by Auburn
Police was said to have ended,
according to a police department
source, but in Botto's interview
he said, "The matter is being
investigated by both the Auburn
City and University Police."
Auburn Police have neither!
confirmed nor denied the inci­dent
on Tuesday took place.
Auburn has yet to officially say
the suspect has been released.

legal advisor, defined what

Samford resigns after 11 years as trustee
By Lynne Haynes
Assistant News Editor
Algernon Blair Services Corp.
of Montgomery has submitted a
proposal concerning the hotel-conference
center being planned
for Auburn to University officials
after six months of studies and
preparation by both parties.
On Monday AU Executive Vice
President George Emert said,
"We have received a proposal
from Algernon Blair and we are
examining it." The proposal was
submitted to University officials
during the the third week of
December, Emert said.
This proposal is being exam­ined
by University officials, who
must decide if "it is appropriate"
to send to the University's Board
of Trustees for final approval,
Emert said.
He would not comment on the
contents of the proposal, saying,
"We're negotiating now" with
Algernon Blair, and "if we nego­tiate
in a newspaper (the plan for
a hotel-conference center) will
fall flat on its face."
Emert did say all information
concerning the proposal, the
appraisals for the fraternity
houses and the date the fraterni­ties
will have to relocate will be
released on Feb. 9 after the Board
of Trustees meets.
The center is to be built on Col­lege
Street where Phi Delta
Theta, Delta Sigma Phi, Pi
Kappa Phi and Alpha Gamma
Rho fraternities are located. The
fraternities have been asked to
move, and the University will
pay tbe fraternities a reasonable
sum for their houses which will
be determined by appraisals.
Frank Samford Jr. announced
his resignation from the Auburn
Univeristy Board of Trustees on
Jan. 2 after serving as a key
member of the board for 11 years.
Gov. George C. Wallace has
already selected Emory Cun­ningham,
a publishing company
executive from Birmingham, to
complete the rest of Samford's
term that ends in 1987. The new
trustee will begin his. term
immediately.
"Auburn is singularly fortu­nate
to have a person of Emory
Cunningham's leadership abili-'
ties, breadth of vision and appre­ciation
of the importance of edu-caton."
said Martin.
Cunningham received his B.S.
in agriculture from Auburn in
1948 and in the same year joined
the staff of Progressive Farmer in
Birmingham. He became pub­lisher
of that publication and
Southern Living in 1967 and in
1968 became president of the
company.
Cunningham has served as
director of the Auburn University
Foundation and as a member of
the advisory council for the
School of Agriculture. . _
Samford's resignation leaves
the trustees without a Samford
for the-first time in 38 years.
"There has been no name more
cherished and important to
Auburn over the years than Sam­ford,"
said AU President James
E. Martin, adding that "the fam­ily
has been a key in shaping
Auburn into a first class
university."
Samford is the great-grandson
of W.J. Samford of Opelika who
was elected governor in 1900. The
great-grandfather was one of the
first cadets to attend East Ala­bama
College when it opened in
1859, and he made such contribu­tions
to the University during his
life that Samford Hall was
named after him.
Samford's father, Frank Sr.,
graduated from Auburn in 1914,
when it was still known as Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, and
went on to organize Liberty
.National Life Insurance Co.,
which later became known as
Torchmark. He also served as a
trustee for 27 years.
Samford was named to the
board in 1973 when his father's
health failed and was appointed
to a full 12-year term in 1975.
Samford earned his B.A. at
Yale, after spending a year in
study at Auburn, and got his law
degree at the University of Ala­bama.
He is an attorney and a
certified life underwriter.
Samford began in Liberty
National's investment of 1947
and worked his way up to presi­dent
in 1960 and chairman of the
board in 1973. He recently
stepped down as chief executive
officer of the insurance company,
but will remain as chairman of
the Torchmark board.
Samford also has served a
director of Golden Enterprises,
BellSouth, Alabama Great
Southern Railroad Company,
Hackney Corporation, Southern
Co. and Saunders Leasing
Systems.
He has served on the Auburn
University Foundation and Lib­erty
National has provided, for
the endowment of professorships
in the School of Business. He has
also served as executive in resi­dence
for the business school.
"Frank Samford has always
been strongly in support of aca­demic
excellence and his pres­ence
will be missed," Martin said.

Let me charge it please!
Students establish credit by signing contracts, making payments
By Leslie Gingles
Features Staff
Whether you are entering college as a freshman
or interviewing for your first job, you need to con­sider
the ways of forming a credit rating as well as
how to assess your past credit history.
According to Jackie Bowles, manager of the
Opelika-Auburn Credit Bureau, the amounts in
checking and savings accounts and payments
toward utilities do not count toward your credit
rating.
"Credit is judged only on the amount of payments
you build, such as on a loan or charge. The only way
to establish credit is to sign a contract and pay
according to the terms you agree on," says Bowles.
Establishing credit may seem initially difficult
for a student earning no actual income. Yet, Bowles
explains, many students can begin "by opening
small charge accounts at places such as clothing or
jewelry stores. Also many larger credit card com­panies
offer limited accounts for students, but usu­ally
they must be juniors or seniors."
Those who have been turned down for a Visa or
Mastercard may be intrigued by advertisements in
many newspapers offering to secure you a card
"regardless of present or past credit history."
The cards are issued after you pay a "processing
fee" of around $25 plus an annual charge of the
same amount.
Although local banks do not offer this service, the
participating banks in other cities insist that you
keep on deposit a sum equal to your maximum
amount of credit. If, for example, you Visa card has
a $500 credit limit, the bank will insist that you keep
$500 on deposit with it.
Usually this money is placed in a passbook sav­ings
account which earns less than other forms of
savings. The credit you appear to be receiving is
actually an arrangement in which you are
advanced money against your own money.
A "debit card" is another way to secure a form of
Visa or Mastercard credit card that results in no
actual credit with the companies. This card looks
like the actual charge cards and serves the same
needs of identification. However, after making a
charge the amount is immediately deducted from
your bank account rather than charged to you.
Although local banks do not offer this service
either, banks across the country will offer these
cards to customers who may not qualify for a tradi­tional
credit card, but do ha ve a new job or a limited
income.
A better method for students to form a sound
credit rating involves regular payments of a loan.
Student loans can be secured through the univer­sity
and local banks. A loan from local banks, how­ever,
usually requires the student to first open a
checking or savings account. Once a pattern of reg­ular
deposits is established, the loan is granted.
Ninety days is usually the minimum period in
which to pay off these loans.
Students' parents may cosign the forms for
charge accounts or loans.
H.T. Praytor, vice president of Merchant's
National Bank in Mobile, says, "Even right out of
college it is often important to have a parent cosign
a loan for your first home or car. As time goes on,
however, it is important to establish your own credit
standing in a community. How daddy signed it
back then is not as important as how you pay it off
now."
Many students fail to realize that if they do not
pay off their cosigned debts on a loan or charge, it
reflects on their parents' credit rating.
Even though the amount in a person's checking
and savings accounts has no effect on their credit
rating, defaulting on a loan or writing numerous
bad checks can have serious consequences.
Neil Thomason, head teller at Auburn's First
Federal Bank, says even though students may write
bad checks during their four years at college, they
can avoid ruining their credit rating by clearing
their debts quickly. He advises students to imme­diately
call the store and explain that the necessary
will be deposited. Then a service charge from both
the store and the bank must be paid by the
customer.
Thomason says, "Just one bad check probably
would not harm a student's standing with a bank.
One per month can hurt. One per week or day can
ruin."
If a person should write an excessive number of
bad checks and not cover them, banks will close out
the account as a "collection account." These
accounts are reported to either a local collection

'Happy hour' on trial in Alabama
Air service comes to Auburn
Eagle Airline will begin service as Auburn's
first commercial commuter airline early this
year, offering service between Aubum-Opelika
Airport, Tuskegee and Atlanta's Hartsfield
International Airport.
Eagle Airline is a program of Air University,
Inc., an Auburn corporation that recently
received its license from both the Federal Avia­tion
Agency and the Civil Aeronautics Board.
Frederick W. Fox, executive vice president of
Eagle Airline, announced that service is sche­duled
to begin early this year. He said that he
has had strong local support to the project,
especially for the service to Atlanta, from busi­ness,
civic and local government leaders.
Rabies plague Lee county
The Alabama Department of Health has
declared Lee County one of 16 in the Southeast
with a rabies epidemic.
One bat, raccoon and horse in Alabama were
confirmed to be rabid after laboratory testing.
The ADPH recommends that all pets more
than three months old be vaccinated and the
avoidance of stray and wild animals, especially
raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes.
State
Senate passes controversial bill
The Alabama Senate passed a co-employee
lawsuit bill Monday following a 44-hour filibus­ter
by about 10 of the bill's opponents. It was
sent to the House of Representatives, where a
similar bill was passed last month.
The Senate's bill limits lawsuits an injured
worker may file against fellow employees and
supervisors for job-related injuries.
The new bill requires that an injured worker
filing a lawsuit show a fellow worker or super­visor
acted intentionally, causing the worker to
be injured. The current law requires the plain­tiff
show simple negligence.
A public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. today at
the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board's Central
Office in Montgomery on proposed regulations to
identify "happy hour" in Alabama.
Henry B. Gray III, administrator of the ABC
Board, said the intent of the proposed regulation is
not to abolish the traditional "happy hour" period,
but to prohibit abuses of multiple drinks being
offered for a single price and "all you can drink"
specials some lounges now offer.
The ABC Board and its staff has worked with the
beverage service industry in drafting the proposed
regulations that would allow drinks to be sold at
reduced or discount prices during the traditional
"happy hour" period.
While the proposed regulations allow reduced pri­ces
during "happy hour" they prohibit more than
one drink being sold at one time for one person.
"There are some lounges that offer customers all
they can drink for a fixed price during certain
hours," Gray said.
"We have received reports that those offers, in
some cases, have led to drinking contests and other
abuses. We feel those offers could lead to excessive
drinking and increased drunken driving," he said.
Jim Cunningham, executive director of the Ala­bama
Hotel and Motel Association, said his organi­zation
favors regulations banning multiple drinks.
"We in the organized hotel industry support the
ABC Board adopting rules that would require a
customer to ask for a second or a third drink," Cun­ningham
said.
"We do want the option of offering drinks at a
reduced price during certain hours for promotional
purposes," he said.
The regulation proposed by the ABC Board deal­ing
with "happy hour" would prohibit:
—Serving multiple drinks for a single price or
making a single price the basis for the required
purchase of two or more drinks.
—Offering "all you can drink" for a set price dur­ing
a set time.
—Selling or furnishing alcoholic beverages after
9 p.m. at "happy hour" prices or at discount or
reduced prices.
—Offering free drinks to any segment of the popu­lation
for any period of time.
The proposed regulations do not prohibit pitchers
of beer or pitchers or special drinks, such as Bloody
Marys or Margaritas if such drinks are normally
offered during all hours, not just during "happy
hour."
In addition, new minimum standards for private
package stores will go into effect Jan. 22, according
to Gray.
The standards came after work by the ABC
Board, its staff and a special legislative subcommit­tee
composed of Sen. Mac Parsons of Hueytown and
Reps. Charles Martin of Decatur and Noopie Cosby
of Selma.
After work by the ABC Board staff and the legis­lative
subcommittee, the minimum stan-dards were
approved by the Joint Committee on Administra­tion
Regulation Review of the Legislature.
The standards require private package stores:
—To have a minimum of 500 square feet of floor
space for the display and sales of alcoholic bever-'
ages. The floor space minimum applies only to
future private package stores.
—To only sell alcoholic beverages and related
items, snack and delicatessen items, cheese, bever­age
containers and tobacco products. Private pack­age
stores may not sell general grocery items,
novelties, clothing or any other items of general
mer-chandise.
—To have at all times when open for business a
minimum inventory of $5,000 wholesale value of
liquor or wine. The liquor must have been produced
by at least two distilleries and the wine produced by
at least two wineries.
—Not to advertise or identify premises, prices or
location by the use of a flashing or blinking sign or
signs whether operated by electricity or gas.
In addition, the standards allow a private pack­age
store to have an interior door which opens into
an adjoining building as long as that door is behind
a counter and clearly marked for employees only.
The standards also require the license holder or
the president of a corporation which holds the
license to be at least 21 years old.
It removed the requirement that such stores have
at least 50 cases of different brands of liquor.
Instead the $5,000 inventory minimum was
required.
The Board, working with the subcommittee, also
reduced the minimum sales area size from 750
square feet to 500 square feet.
Gray said the minimum standards for private
package stores are an example of an agency of
government being responsive to the considerations
of the public.
In the August public hearing, the ABC Board
heard that some of the standards would cause hard­ships
for some store owners, Gray said. Taking the
input from the public hearing, the ABC Board staff
worked with the subcommittee to address the prob­lem
areas.
10-year accreditation received
By Bryan Crowson
Assistant News Editor
Auburn was fully accredited on Dec. 11,1984, by
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
(SACS). AU President James Martin said he is
"delighted" with the 10-year accreditation.
Martin said one way accreditation benefits stu­dents
is that federal loan funds are given only to
accredited schools. Federal guaranteed loans made
through commercial banks are given only to stu­dents
attending accredited schools, which is "of
great interest" to students dependent on loans, said
Martin.
Auburn was asked by SACS to make a report on
Sept. 1,1985, to clarify faculty issues such as tenure
requirements, said Martin.
Martin said he is glad SACS recognized the work
done at Auburn to meet the recommendations made
by the Association.
Among the problems addressed was a funding
shortage, alleviated by a 26 percent increase in
state funding.
When SACS inspected the University, the admin­istration
was largely made up of an interim staff,
whereas now many permanent staff members have
been hired.
A statement of purpose by the Board of Trustees
was made to comply with another suggestion.
Improvements to the organizational structure of
the University are also being made in response to
SACS recommendations.
New scholarships, increased minority enrollment
and the addition of 20 faculty positions are
improvements that have been made beyond the
SACS recommendations, said the president
"We would not want our students to graduate
from an unaccredited university," said Martin.
Taking a look back at past expansions
With all the talk about the
upcoming expansion of Jordan-
Hare Stadium, it is interesting to
take a look back and see how far
we've come since the first football
field was built in 1939.
Over the past 45 years, the sta­dium
has seen a lot of excitement,
as well as a lot of changes. In
1939, only 7,500 people could
watch the Tigers play, but by
1986 as many as 85,000 will be
able to attend the games, which
have repeatedly sold out in its
present 75,000 capacity.
The expansion, approved by
t h e Board of Trustees in
December, includes the addition
of another upper deck consisting
of a new president's box, a trus­tees'
suite, additional scholar­ship
seating, a lettermen's club
room and additional seating for.
recruiting.
Just like the Auburn Tigers,
Jordan-Hare Stadium had gone
through different stages, grow­ing
considerably over the years.

Airline welcomed
After recently receiving a license
from the Federal Aviaton Agency
and the Civil Aeronautics Board,
Air University, Inc. of Auburn will
begin a commuter airline service
between Tuskegee, Auburn and
Atlanta under the name of Eagle
Airline.
This is a big step for the Auburn
area because for the first time local
residents will have a direct commer­cial
connection to major airlines in
Atlanta. For the first time someone
wishing to travel by air will not have
to drive to Atlanta, Montgomery or
Birmingham just to catch a plane.
The new service will also help
bring in businesses to the Loveliest
Village which would normally shy
away from Auburn's remote loca­tion.
No longer will businessmen
avoid Auburn because it has no tie-
• up with a major city.
Eagle Airline will also bring in a
lot of visitors to football games and
other campus activites that have
avoided the long drive in the past.
With a new $12 million hotel com­plex
on the way, Auburn will surely
become a lucrative site for conven­tions
and conferences when travel is
made easier.
Auburn improving
Over the holidays Auburn stu­dents
received a special Christmas
gift and one that will follow them
many years after college—after a
year's delay Auburn has received
full accreditation.
The announcement was made by
the Southern Association of Col­leges
and Schools, the school's
regional accrediting agency, in
early December and will accredit the
school for the next 10 years.
The decision of affirmation for full
accreditation was delayed for a year
pending a permanent administra­tion
and answers to criticisms of
some university problems.
President James Martin and his
administration submitted a report
answering criticisms to SACS in
August.
Among the action taken, a state­ment
of purpose for the University
was adopted and some much-needed
maintenance and improvements for
facilities began.
Other problems addressed suc­cessfully
were a strong increase in
the number of black freshmen
attending Auburn and the active
recruitment of minority faculty as
well as adding some much-needed
faculty in the mathematics depart­ment
and Schools of Business and
Engineering.
In a relatively short period of time
Martin and his administration have
been able to address some serious
problems the school was facing and
have been able to come up with con­crete
plans for the future.
For example, by limiting the
number of incoming freshmen this
year the University will now be able
to concentrate on maintenance and
strengthening the programs we
already have which will help
Auburn become one of the academic
strengths of the Southeast.
Frank Samford will be missed
Last week the Auburn University
Board of Trustees lost one of its most
outstanding trustees and a member
of the family who has long been
admired by the Auburn com­munity—
Frank Samford.
Samford served on the Board for
11 years and has always showed
strong support for the students'
academic opportunities.
Along with serving on the Board,
Samford has also served on the
Auburn University Foundation as
one of the founders of the Liberty
National Life Insurance Co. He also
provided for the endowment of pro­fessorships
in the School of Busi­ness
while serving as executive in
residence for the school.
The Samford family has been
well-known for its contributions to
Auburn which began with W.J.
Samford, who was one of of the first
cadets when the Alabama Male Col­lege
opened in 1859.
Although this will leave the trus­tees
without a Samford on the Board
for the first time in 38 years, the con­tributions
of the Samford family
will remain as Auburn faces its
many challenges in the upcoming
years.
PLAINSMAN POLICIES

All of this is great for the Auburn-
Opelika Airport and the city of
Auburn. It means more business for
the airport and more income for the
city. And it will definitely benefit the
University, too.
Bringing more people into the city
and onto the campus will help in
recruitment in the future and will
build an even better public image for
the school. But we shouldn't leave it
at that. We should take advantage of
the new airline for the students'
benefit.
Now that connections with
Atlanta are possible, we should be
able to attract better quality campus
visitors. There is now no excuse for
not bringing in top concerts for the
students to enjoy or offering first-rate
lectures.
We should also hope that the new
hotel/conference center complex
will host interesting and informa­tive
meetings for the benefit of the
faculty and other members of the
University community.
. So while Eagle Airline is opening
new doors for Auburn-Opelika Air­port
and the city, we at Auburn Uni­versity
should take advantage of its
services and reap our own benefits.
New press service unhelpful
If you are an owner of a personal com­puter
you along with members of the
press may soon be able to receive official
statements from the White House for as
low as $27.50 an hour.
Sound like a deal? Maybe to some but
to many members of the press this is
merely another attempt for an organiza­tion
to do everything possible to make
itself look good.
Reagan has repeatedly complained
that his views are distorted by reporters
who cover him and this is a complaint
that can many times be true especially
for someone who is constantly in the
news as he is. Constant deadline pres­sure
and careless editing can often make
what a person said easily misunder­stood
or even taken out of context and
only a reporter's dedication and commit­ment
to the job can make a story
accurate.
However, the Reagan administration
has proposed sending out its own news
releases by distributing presidential
speeches and announcements which
will consist of the official, unedited ver­sion
of what Reagan and other members
of his administration have said.
In many ways this can rightfully be
considered censorship from the begin­ning
because this could cause the
administration to release only what it
may want to be released. One point that
White House aides failed to recognize is
if this action is strictly followed by jour­nalists
it would be tantamount to how
news is submitted to the Soviet news
agency Tass.
Luckily, this will never happen
because there are too many good and
dedicated investigative reporters and
Americans are not willing to give up
their basic freedoms of the press and the
right to know.
The news service, which is still in its
infancy, will provide the press with
news releases from the White House
press office, the vice president's office
and the Office of Management and
Budget and the first lady's office. One
White House official said aides close to
Reagan believe that his ideas would be
more effective if they were "unfiltered"
by the press. But this could also cause
confusion because this would attempt to
leave out analysis from other profes­sionals
and comments from those who
have a different point of view than the
president.
One of the main rules of solid journal­ism
is to enter into a story objective and
unbiased and it would prove harmful for
anyone, especially the federal govern­ment,
to dictate to the American people
what they need to know and when they
need to know it without investigative
reporting by trained professionals.
The track record for such services has
not been successful in the past with one
of the main problems having been the
government providing too much infor­mation,
a lot of which was not useful,
and causing reporters and members of
the White House staff with a lot of unne­cessary
work.
It would be helpful for members of the
press to receive transcripts of presiden­tial
speeches but unfortunately because
of deadlines these may arrive too late
and do not take into account when an
official may stray from the prepared
text.
The Reagan administration has con­sistently
had poor relations with the
press and this has stemmed from a lack
of knowledge of how the press operates
and until some media experts are
brought into the White House it will
undoubtedly continue.
Last night Reagan held his 27th press
conference distinguishing himself as
the president who has held the fewest
press conferences in recent history. But
his second term may prove to be more
open especially since Nancy Reagan has
told him that monthly news conferences
would be in his best interest.
Journalists have been trained to sort
through the news and White House offi­cials
have been trained for the day-to­day
business of running the country. If
each can learn to work together with
respect for each others jobs we may be
lucky to find ourselves with more
informed citizens with a strong respect
for our country's government.
Apathy bad for campus Christians
Take Peace! The gloom of the world is
but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our
reach, is joy. There is radiance and glory
in the darkness, could we but see, and to
•see we have only to look. I beseech you to'
look.
Fra Giovanni, 1513 A.D.
Each of us would be wise to ta' . the
loving advice which has been given to a
friend in the letter from which the above
passage comes. We must look beyond the
darkness in the world in order to find "a
living splendour, woven of love, by wis­dom,
with power," as Giovanni has des­cribed
it.
For some of us, looking beyond the
darkness is more difficult than for oth­ers,
perhaps because there are those who
don't know where to look. Others know
where to look; however, they need the
encouragement of others to take that
step.
The brightest light beyond the dar­kness,
I have found to be real, is the lov­ing
grace of God. I've seen and heard it
being preached in churches in Auburn's
community and shared on campus by so
few willing students. I see and recognize
an uplifting spirit of committment to
God's message of salvation in the
churches, but it seems that this spirit of
committment somehow dies down in
some lives when services end on Sun­days
and Wednesdays and churchgoers
return to campus or to their daily lives
elsewhere.
Why does there have to be any boun­dary
between our love for God on Sun­days
and Wednesday evenings and our
acknowledgement of his presence in our'
lives during the remaining days of each
week?
If you've ever been put on hold during
a telephone conversation, then you can
understand how he is seemingly placed
at a subordinate position on the priority
lists in some lives.
One classification of people on
Auburn's campus in which I have
sensed a great bit of Christian apathy is
the faculty and administration. Various
instructors and administrators play
active rolls in the churches of which they
are members; however, they aren't
allowing God to use them in their Uni­versity
work.
Many students look to their instruc­tors
as examples, because those who are
better educated and have been around
longer than others are expected to know
more and exhibit higher morals. How
can students be expected to follow the
examples of many elders who are not
willing to show their true selves?
The apathy among many members of
the faculty and administration toward
allowing the light of God to shine
through them at work in the classrooms
and during their free time, I believe,
mostly stems from one main cause.
Many of our faculty members and
administrators, as is the case with many
students, disregard their faith in God,
while they are at work, out of sheer dis­obedience.
They can willingly let God
work in and through them while in the
company of other Christians, but
because of fear of persecution from non-believers
or lack of faith in their own
beliefs, they don't allow themselves to_
share their joy with those who need to be
exposed to it the most.
If Christians are to consider them­selves
representatives of God, they must
be willing to turn away from any limita­tions
on their ministries and claim that
which is stated in Romans 1:16-17:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it
is the power of God for salvation to every
one who has faith, to the Jew first and
also to the Greek. For in it the righteous­ness
of God is revealed through faith for
faith; as it is written, 'He who through -
faith is righteous shall live.'
In his October 16, 1937 inaugural
address for Yale University, President
Charles Seymour "call(ed) on all
members of the faculty, as members of a
thinking body, freely to recognize the
tremendous validity and power of the
teachings of Christ in our life-and-death
struggle against the forces of selfish
materialism. If we lose that struggle,
judging from present events abroad,
scholarship as well as religion will dis­appear."
In his message, Seymour urged
those in instructive and administrative
positions to allow their Christian ethics
to guide them in their work. This mes­sage,
I believe, should apply to all
faculty and administrators today, at
Yale as well as on other—campuses-across
the country.
Many of us—Christian and non-
Christian faculty, administrators and
students—search in our daily lives for
the best ways to be successful, well
known and (or) happy. Yet, by disre­garding
God's guidance or by putting
our consideration of him aside at times,
we fail to realize that we wouldn't have
to search for success or happiness if we
would just let him show it to us all seven
days of the week.
Stupid questions should get stupid answers
"Did you have a nice Christmas?"
How many times have you heard that
question this week? And how did you
respond?
"Oh, yeah. It was great."
Now don't lie. We've all asked that
question in the past few days and we've
all replied to that question in the same
way.
"Yeah, it was great."
Well, honestly, was Christmas really
great all the time? Was it great from the
day you left Auburn until the day you
returned for drop and add?
Was it great when you were battling
millions of vicious shoppers in the malls
who would literally beat you with a
purse to get the last Baby Boomer
Editon of Trivial Pursuit?
Was i t great when you realized just as
the stores were closing on Christmas
Eve that you had forgotten to buy your
father's gift?
Was it great when you had to sit
through a holiday dinner with a bunch
of stuffy old aunts and weird cousins
who can't remember your name and tell
them about your major when you know
they don't care?
And was it great when you woke up
New Year's Day and wished it was New
Year's Eve so you could remind yourself
never to do again whatever it was that
made you feel so bad this morning?
Of course not. So why lie to these peo­ple
who ask you that ridiculous ques­tion?
Why not say, "Well, actually, it
wasn't the best I've ever had." Then you
could go into detail about the stomach
virus you had for two days and about
your dog that died three days before New
Year's Eve and about your deaf uncle
who gave you a year's subscription to
TeenBeat magazine for Christmas.
Well, why don't you tell the truth?
Why don't you go into detail about your
holidays?
Because the people who are asking
that stupid question probably don't care.
They don't really want to know what
size slip you had to buy Aunt Myrtle or
how painful it was getting your wisdom
teeth pulled. They're just asking it out of
habit.
It's like that popular greeting used at
the beginning of fall quarter, "How was
your summer?" Does that person really
care that you slaved out in the hot sun
for hours a day making minimum wage
so you could pay your tuition? Probably
not.
Or how about the one my sorority sis­ters
are so famous for, "So, are you liking
Rush?" Does anybody like Rush? Of
course not.
But what is that poor rushee supposed
to say? "Gee, it stinks. My feet are killing
me and I'm about to have a heat stroke
and I really am sick of all the stupid
questions you keep asking me." Axe that
girl tonight.
Or how about the one you always hear
when you answer the phone, "What are
you doing?" I think it's obvious you're
talking on the phone, and I don't think
you would admit that you had to leave
the bathroom to answer it.
And then there's the stupid question
designed for everyday use, "How are
you?" And what do you usually reply?
"Oh, fine."
You would probably say that even you
just found out you failed economics,
wouldn't you? Or even if you just found
out the kitten you illegally keep in you
dorm room just died from breathing
asbestos.
So why do people ask these stupid
questions? Why do people waste time
and breath to participate in trivial small
talk when (they don't even care about
what they are discussing?
Maybe out of courtesy. Maybe a few
really care (like your roommate or your
grandmother). Maybe they just can't
think of anything else to say. Or maybe
we are all just trivial people who live in a
trivial world.
I don't know about you, but I get bored
with small talk like this. Just once I
would like to have someone walk up to
me on the concourse to talk about some­thing
important. Maybe say something
like, "Hello, Beth. Tell me, what do you
think of halting the airlift of the Ethio­pian
Jews? And also, how do you feel
about vigilantes in New York
subways?"
I doubt that will happen, though.
Mainly because there aren't many peo­ple
on campus who read newspapers and
because anyone who discussed such
things on the concourse would get a lot
of strange looks.
So I guess we will just have to suffer
through such stupidity. But next time
someone comes up to you and asks,
"How are you today?" have a little fun.
Say something like, "Well, actually I'm
not all that great. You see, I just found
out I have terminal cancer, and to top it
off I've got a huge philosophy test on
Friday. And then my father got
arrested...."

Transplantable organs
wasted in executions
We Americans are wasteful people. We
waste our money, our time, our resour­ces,
our environment, and too often our
lives. We don't think waste is good. But
even when we try to stop waste, we end
up wasting something else.
Take, for instance, capital punish­ment
as a way to stop waste. The death
sentence is often imposed when a person
has murdered another, wasting a life
besides his own. By putting murderers to
death, lawmakers hope to deter other
possible murderers, thereby preventing
the waste of more lives. Although sociol­ogists
may squabble about the effec­tiveness
of the death sentence as a deter­rent,
that is nonetheless why it is used.
I will not attempt to justify or attack
capital punishment itself. It is here.
Executions are becoming more common.
Therefore, if executions are to be per­formed,
they should not be wasteful.
What is wasted by an execution is not
the life of the condemned. Expending
resources to support one who is judged to
be a detriment to society would be waste­ful.
Thus he is killed by electrocution,
lethal injection, the gas chamber, firing
squad or some other means. However,
although the murderer supposedly could
not contribute to society in life, he could
in death.
Many people need organ transplants.
Would not justice be served better if a
murderer, who took someone's life, had
to give life back to people who needed
kidneys, or even a heart?
The condemned person could pay his
debt to society with the last things he
has to give-his transferable organs. To
neglect this possibility and deny these
organs to people with kidney disorders,
heart disease and other problems is a
waste compounding the waste caused by
the original murder.
Granted, to put someone to sleep and
remove his vital organs so he won't
wake up again is not an operation Haw-keye
Fierce would want to perform.
Indeed, it sounds ghoulish. Most doc­tors,
however, would not be averse to
transplanting organs from accident vic­tims.
If a doctor had prior knowledge of a
fatal traffic accident, he could select and
prepare recipients for the various organs
of the victim. The preparation would
enable him to save more lives than he
would have with a surprise donor.
In the case of an execution, a con­demned
person is going to die anyway.
He has an appointment with death. The
doctors involved would merely be taking
advantage of this fact to save other
lives.
Clearly, to execute people without
using their organs to take life from death
is impractical and wasteful. Perhaps
organs are already being salvaged from
the condemned in some cases, but the
more common methods of execution
would make this impossible. Poisons
from injections or gas would surely
damage kidneys, and bullets generally
do not leave bodies intact.
To go to sleep under anesthesia like
any patient in a hospital could not be
considered cruel or unusual punish­ment.
Having to electrocute someone
twice before he dies may well be.
Capital punishment is a fact. Medical
science is a fact. People needing organs
is a fact. Keeping them apart is a stupid
waste. If we are going to execute people,
we might as well get the most out of it.
Small turnout in Memphis
showed little loyalty to AU
I sat in section 32, row 31, seat 29 at the
Liberty Bowl. Around me, at best, I
would say there were 300 others making
up the student section.
There was another group of Auburn
fans sitting in section 31-the band.
Section 30 held another group which
was about the size of the student section.
Scattered throughout the press-box
side of the stadium were a few spots of
orange and blue. "A few," is pushing it
though.
The other 49,000 people in the stadium
were dressed in red and white and for
about four hours were hollering wha­tever
it is that Arkansas fans holler. The
turnout of Auburn fans to the Liberty
can be described in one word-disgusting.
I can't really harp on this subject too
much though. I mean, surely most of our
folks must have had really pressing
engagements, like after Christmas par­ties
and after Christmas White Sales. I
think the fact the game was in Memphis
and not in New Orleans had little to do
with attendance. Well, maybe a little.
Well, maybe everything.
Most folks are still upset with Pat Dye
and the 56-57 combo deal. Most that I
know felt that if we couldn't beat Bama,
we surely wouldn't get past the Hogs.
Everyone gave up on the team when
Brent Fullwood got pushed out of
bounds one yard short of a touchdown,
and that again is, disgusting.
For the first time in 25 years, Alabama
fans stayed home for Christmas. Just
about every Auburn fan did too.
Those of us who went though, got
what I feel to be the thrill of a season.
I mean, we saw Kevin Porter, a fresh­man,
grab an Arkansas pass out of the
air and dash into an end zone half filled
with screaming Auburn fans.
With minutes left in the game, we
cheered Bo Jackson on as he plowed his
way into the end zone from 33 yards out.
Before the game, many of the Arkansas
people yelled out things like, "Wrong
way! Wrong way!" and "Bo Jackson is
Michael Jackson's brother!" After Bo
did his thing, they didn't do it again.
Folks at homed'm assuming most at
least watched on TV) missed out on the
cheering we did a the Hogs' team. The
Arkansas fans around us couldn't
believe it when we started calling their
team/'Tiger meat! Tiger meat!"
In the second half the cheerleaders got
us chanting "Beat the Hogs! Beat the
Hogs! Beat the damn Hogs!" That really
got the Arkansas fans mad. The cheer­leaders
must have had 49,000 threats
made against them. I have never seen so
many people moved by so few words. It
was great!
Folks at home also missed out on the
usual goings on of the student section.
Before the game, I had never seen the
folks I sat by. We were all dressed in
orange pants, blue sweaters, white
shirts, etc. and were high fiving and
talking to each other like we had been
together for years by kick off.
I also learned from the Arkansas fans
what I feel to be an important lesson .
They may have been a bit glum after the
game, but they were not upset. Outside
the stadium, they were hollering the
noise they had been making the whole
night. The loss did not stifle them, if
anything, it encouraged them.
I believe, had their star running back
"gone the wrong way" the game before,
they would still all have been there.
They would all have been hootin' and a
hollerin' too.
Being a freshman, I am new to this
Bowl thing. I did not go to the Sugar last
year, so I don't know how exciting that
was. As "bad" as the Liberty Bowl was, I
know I had a good time and the folks
around me did too. I'd go again if I had
the chance.
Until now, I have been under the
impression that team loyalty came first.
Sure, locale had something to do with
post-game atmosphere, but what about
support during it?
It seems that loyalty to the team does
not come first, but getting inebriated
does. To those who didn't go to the game
simply because of what happened in
Birmingham, I can't say too much. But,
"Loyalty should be made of sterner
stuff." To those who made the trip to
Memphis, you're what Auburn needs
more of. War Eagle to ya!

College reading list, 1985
Only steel stops Communists
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman:
In recent weeks, there has been a con­certed
effort by groups of individuals to
make public their philosophies about
Central America and U.S. involvement
there. While I defend their right to speak
freely under our constitution, I will exer­cise
my right to speak in opposition.
One such group, the Conscientious
Alliance for Peace (CAP), an action
group for clergy and laity, was responsi­ble
for setting up a public forum hosted
by a group of women who were given a
"conducted tour" of Nicaragua by San-dinista
officials. These women made
claims of horrors perpetrated by anti-
Sandinista Contras while portraying
the Sandinista regime as a typical
benevolent government rooted to the
ideals of freedom and democracy. One of
the women went as far as to say that the -
church supported the revolutionary
movement in Central America. I wonder
which church she was referring to? Now
that you have heard their reiteration of
the leftist propaganda mill, here are a
few cold, hard facts about Communist
aggression and expansion in Central
America.
In the summer of 1983, the Sandinista
regime had 25,000 men on active duty
with 50,000 in the reserves and militia.
By June of 1984, their active force
swelled to over 47,000 with over 55,000 in
the reserves. In 1983, the Sandinistas
had about 50 T-54/55 tanks and few
armored personnel carriers; by 1984 the
armored force had grown to about 100
T-54/55 tanks, more than 20 PT-76 light
amphibious tanks, and about 120 other
armored personnel carriers; by 1984 the
armored force had grown to about 100
T-54/55 tanks, more than 20 PT-76 light
amphibious tanks, and about 120 other
armored vehicles. As you can see, the
already formidable Sandinista military
machine of 1983 has increased its fight­ing
and political intimidation capabili­ties
dramatically in just a year, and the
potential for an expanded Soviet mil­itary
presence in the region is also
increased.
Military expansion aside, consider the
political and idealogical oppression by
the Sandinista regime. I am willing to
bet that the women who spoke at the
forum were not allowed to tour the San­dinista
prisons filled with political
prisoners.
Erwin Barbarena (not his real name
because of possible reprisals against his
relatives in Nicaragua) was a police offi­cial
at the Palo Alto security base in
Managua before.he defected to an early
contra group on 30 August 1980. He gave
eyewitness accounts of the torture, beat­ing,
and killing of political prisoners. "A
couple of State Security officers boasted
they had caught two spies and pointed
out an American and a German to me," -
he said. "They were caught taking pic­tures
at the Diriomo garrison near Jino-tepe.
It's an old fort, a historical place..
...They could have been tourists. They
also had pictures of markets and Indi­ans."
That did not matter according to
the former Sandinista trained in Cuba.
He saw the security people laminating
photographs of the American and Ger­man
on fabricated CIA cards. "We
would do this when we didn't have any­thing
on a suspect," he said. That was
not the only time Barbarena witnessed
such activities. _ ..
As you can see, this is the type of
government that we are dealing with in
Nicaragua along with their associates
here in the U.S. What is worse is that the
Sandinistas, are trying to subvert the
entire region to Marxism. Do we just
ignore what is going on in Central
America and hope for the best as the
people who conducted the public forum
seem to suggest? Will Communism just
go away like a bad cold? Not hardly.
I would be the last person who wants a
war, but this "roll-over-and-play-dead"
pacifism has been nothing short of dis­aster
in keeping countries from being
subverted and overthrown by Marxists.
That is why I support and contribute to
the giving of aid to El Salvador, the Con­tras
in Nicaragua, Afghan Freedom
Fighters, and any other people who live
under a choking, oppressive regime, left
or right wing. The Communists have a
philosophy: Probe with a bayonet. If you
find mush, advance. If you find steel,
withdraw. In Central America, the
Communists have the steel will of people
who fight for their freedom and those
like me who support and aid them.

Wilderness area expansion in danger
Editor, The Plainsman:
Through meetings with the head of
the U.S. Forest Service in Alabama,
conservationists have learned that the
government plans to cut about 20,000
acres out of Congressman Ronnie Flip-po's
proposed Sipsey Wilderness expan­sion
and release it for commercial log­ging
operations. Formal announcement
of the plan is scheduled for March, and
unless Congress at last takes action to
protect the area, logging could begin
before the end of 1985.
There has never been any reason to
expect that the people of Alabama would
get a fair shake from these federal
bureaucrats. The Forest Service opposed
the creation of the original Sipsey Wil­derness
and did everything it could to
defeat the tiny little Cheaha Wilderness
protecting the Odum Scout Trail in the
Talladega Mountains. Most recently, its
opposition to Mr. Flippo's Sipsey enlar­gement
has played a major role in stale­mating
the legislation in Congress for
the past three years, leaving Alabam-ians
on the brink of having 20,000 acres
of our last Wilderness lands needlessly
sacrificed to commercial loggers.
It's certainly fair to ask why Alabama
is being forced to give up our publicly-owned
wild areas while every other
southern state surrounding us success­fully
enacted major new Wilderness
designations during 1984—a total of
353,000 acres.
The temporary protection that has
shielded the Sipsey expansion area from
logging will expire in 1985. Time is run­ning
out for the Sipsey, and whether the
area is saved or is lost to our people
forever rests in the hands of Senators
Howell Heflin and Jeremiah Denton.

Birmingham Audubon Society
Graduate defends Dye from student critics
Editor, The Plainsman:
I write in response to the many articles
featured in the Dec. 6 issue of The
Plainsman concerning the ill fate of the
Auburn football team. Even to the most
casual observer it would seem that our
football program is doomed and that the
head coach should be fired, if not shot.
Perhaps Coach Pat Dye and Coach
Jack Crowe should be replaced with
Coach Tschirnart (David Tschirnart, 04
PRJ, reference Sports letter, Dec. 6) and
Coach Vince Thompson, Plainsman
columnist. These two seem to not only
have the inside track on how to win the
big game but also have been endowed
with that all important 20-20 hindsight.
I shouldn't have to remind Coach
Tschirnart that as hard as it is to
believe, certain big games do come down
to a single play, a referee's bad call, or
even to a mental error. Coach Thompson
seems to have a firm grasp on the situa­tion.
According to him Auburn needs
variety in play calling. I am sure, how­ever,
that this same individual would
have called number 34 up the middle.
That is variety?
I have been an Auburn football fan
(emphasis on fan) for as long as I can
remember. I say to Coach Tschirnart
that things have changed and those
changes were for the better. I can't
imagine what our fans today would've
done years ago after a loss to Mississippi
or Georgia Tech. I submit to those of you
who think Coach Dye has let you down
to recall a few years back. We need not be
reminded of 5-6 seasons, of probation, of
big losses to Alabama (more, many more
than a meager two points) and of unrest
not only in the athletic department but
also in the administration. Perhaps we
do need to be reminded.
Coach Dye is a class individual who
has brought not only Auburn football
but Auburn University back to a level of
national prominence. I say Auburn's
football program is not doomed after a
two-point loss. I say our program will be
doomed if we become cocky winners and
cry baby losers. Let us all remember how
much we despise the kind of fans our
foes across the state are, and try our best
to remember that we are Auburn people.
As Coach Dye said, "it was a disappoint­ing
loss but we'll overcome it and there
will be happy days down the road." War
Eagle. !

Auburn environmentalists seek members
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Auburn Society for Environmen­tal
Protection (ASEP) has been here
since 1981 informing you about various
environmental issues: nuclear dangers,
polution, landfills, recycling, and bicy­cling
in Auburn. We've had rummage
sales and Earth Days (thanks to MUSE
and many others) and we've had a lot of
fun. All we? asked of members is that
they be interested in the cause.
Without involvement and fresh lead­ership,
however, ASEP will have to stop
their program in early 1985. If you allow
this to happen, all funds will be donated
to another environmental group arid
Auburn will have one less environmen­tal
interest group. (The Sierra Club is
still kicking.)
Some of us will continue to fight and
organize for the sake of our precious
planet and all of its fragile life.
I want to thank the members of ASEP
for trying. You can still write to ASEP.

Conservative Auburn students impressive
Editor, The Plainsman:
Recently I had the opportunity to visit
the city of Auburn and Auburn Univer­sity
and was afforded the opportunity to
address the Political Science class. I was
very impressed with the conservative
moral views of these young people. If
these students are any indication of our
leaders of tomorrow, and they are, then
there is no doubt the state of Alabama
has much to look forward to.
Dr. Tim Jones is to be commended for
his involvement, devotion and dedica­tion,
not only to the students, but to the
University. He is a credit to the teaching
profession.
Auburn is fortunate to be the home of
this great institution of higher learning.

'Adoption' provides a home-away-from-home for students
By Suzy Fleming
Technical Editor
The church auditorium is filled,
and whispers are stilled as the
program begins. One by one, stu­dents'
names are called, and they
are introduced to their new adop­tive
families.
These adoptions are not legally
binding. No one changes his
name. Natural parents still pay
tuition, room and board. But for
students whose real families are
miles away, the student adoption
program at First Baptist Church
in Opelika offers a family life
close to school.
Most people enjoy the initial
freedom of college. However,
when the newness wears off and
the studying picks up, homesick­ness
often sets in.
This is one reason why First
Baptist Opelika started its adop­tion
program. Adoptive families
give students a home-away-from-home
when classes, roommates
Late night library hours
begin this winter quarter
By Lynne Haynes
Assistant News Editor
Ralph Brown Draughon
Library hours have been
extended to midnight Sunday
through Thursday in response to
requests by the Student Govern­ment
Association, said Univer­sity
Librarian William C.
Highfill.
SGA President David Shaffer
said his organization has been
trying to get the hours extended
since he began running for office
last spring quarter.
"My reaction is one of just
immediate excitement and a trust
in the administration that they
are going to listen to the students
and honor our requests, Shaffer
said.
"At times we thought it was a
futile effort, but now it has paid
off, he added.
Curtis Carroll, special assist'
ant to the SGA president, was in
charge of the project and "did the
bulk of the work, Shaffer said.
Highfill said the five extra:
hours each week will cost more
than $4,500 annually, and at the
end of each fiscal year Academic
Affairs will provide enough
money to cover the expenses.
A student-use count will be
made during spring quarter,
Highfill said, "so we can get a feel,
for the pattern of usage. It will be
interesting to see what kind of
effect (the new hours) will have,
he added.
New library hours are 7:45 a.m.
to midnight Sunday through
Thursday, 7:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
Saturday.
Student dies day after 3-story fall
By Kim Best
Assistant News Editor
An Auburn University sopho­more
fell from the third story of
his apartment building on Dec.
11 and died the next day from
multiple head injuries suffered
during the fall.
The circumstances of the death
of Scott Seabolt, 20, were unclear
because of the lack of witnesses to
the event, according to Sgt. Wil­bur
Brown of the Auburn Police
Department.
According to close friends,
Seabolt enjoyed shooting at tin
can targets with a pellet gun from
a balcony on the third floor of his
apartment building and evi­dently
was target practicing
when he fell.
Seabolt was from Scottsboro
and was in his first quarter at
Auburn, having transferred from
Northeast State Junior College,
said university spokesman
Fowler Dugger.
A similar incident occurred in
Tuscaloosa when a student from
the University of Alabama fell
from a dormitory window.
or cafeteria food get to be too
much.
Sometimes busy schedules and
apathy prevent students from
receiving the full benefit of adop­tion.
When both the family and
the student make the effort to get
to know one another, though, the
fun begins.
Owen Bailey, a senior from
Mobile, says that friends tease
him for spending so much time
with his adoptive family. "People
keep telling me it's not a real
adoption," he says. Mr. and Mrs.
Gene Meadows of Opelika have
been Owen's adopted parents for
three years. "The Meadowses are
great, fantastic!" he said.
Owen does spend a lot of time
with his adopted family. He does
his laundry there and occasion­ally
spends the night. "Their
house is always open to me. It's
good to have another place to go."
Robin Clayton, a senior from
Hokes Bluff, Alabama, described
a dinner table scene with her
adopted family. "You laugh the
whole time you're eating. We cut
each other down, just picking,
like a real family. It cheers you
up."
She enjoys taking a Sunday
afternoon nap on her adoptive
family's living room sofa. "I feel
like I'm at home."
An occasional home-cooked
meal is one of the best parts of the
program. "I haven't paid for a
Sunday meal in over two years,"
admits Owen with a chuckle.
When the burdens of school get
too heavy, the adoptee has a
place to go or someone to call, and
the call is not long distance.
"If I'm down, I call Faye," says
Robin about her adopted mom,
Faye Parkman, of Opelika. "She
asks about classes and we'll stay
on the phone for an hour."
"It's a good place to get away,"
Owen says about his famly's
house. "It's a home, not a dorm or
apartment, but a real home."
These adoptive relationships
are more than an escape-haven,
though. They are an always
remembered birthday. They are
concerned phone calls "just to see
how you are doing." They are
care packages filled with candy,
fruit and good wishes during
finals week. They are a family to
call your own.
"I wish more students would
get involved," said Owen.
These adopted families and the
student programs offered by area
churches add something special
to the college years of those
involved.

Theatre brings beer to movies
By Kristi Francis
Features Staff
Beginning next month it will
be possible to go to a movie in
Auburn and drink beer at the
same time, according to Art Boza,
owner and manager of the Movie
Pub.
The Movie Pub, scheduled to
open Feb. 8, will be located on
Magnolia Ave. in the building
that was previously the War
Eagle Theatre. Construction will
begin the first of next week, Boza
said.
The price of admission will be
99 cents for each movie. On Mon­day
through Thursday movies
will be shown at 7,9, and 11 p.m.
shows. The 11 p.m. movie will be
different from the other movies,
Boza said. "The first week the
late movie will be The Rocky Hor­ror
Picture Show," he added.
In addition to beer, The Movie
Pub will serve cola, pizza, subma­rine
sandwiches, hotdogs, pop­corn
and nachos. Although Boza
has a license for wine, he is not
sure if he will serve it, and no
liquor will be served, he said.
The concession area will the
first thing a customer Will see
upon entering The Movie Pub.
"There will be a bar in this area
where a customer can order food
and drink," Boza said. The view­ing
area will be one inch higher
than the one below it, he added.
Four of these tiers will have
tables with bucket-type chairs,
and the fifth tier will be a 16 by
42-foot stage, Boza said. A cus­tomer
can order at the bar or a
waitress will serve him at his
table, he explained. The viewing
area will hold 358 people.
In addition to the floor seats,
four private viewing booths will,
be built upstairs. These booths
will be comparable to an office or
suite, said Boza. Each booth will
hold six people, and the rental fee
for a booth will be $20 per movie.
Each booth will have a phone to
call the bar and speakers to hear
the movie. Each booth will be
named after a famous person. "In
order to rent a booth, a customer
must make reservations," Boza
added.
The Movie Pub will keep some
of the employees of the employees
of The War Eagle Theatre. How­ever,
Boza will be hiring five
females. Applications will be
taken in a few weeks, he said.
Boza expects that the majority
of the crowd will be college stu­dents,
but he would like to see all
ages at The Movie Pub. Children
are welcome, but no alcohol will
be served to minors, Boza
emphasized.
"The Movie Pub is not just a
movie theater; it is an entertain­ment
center," he said. About once
a month The Movie Pub to bring
some of the comedians who per­form
at the Laughing Stock in
Columbus to the Movie Pub.

the area. Boza also plans to bring
some of the comedians who per-from
at the Laughing Stock in

live entertainment prices will
vary, Boza said.
After about one month from
opening, Boza plans to have
some occasional specials such as
fraternity and sorority night, and
he plans to rent out The Movie
Pub to groups for parties or meet­ings.
The Movie Pub is also plan­ning
to serve lunch. During lunch
admission will be free, there will
be no waitresses, and MTV will
be shown, Boza said.

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT WARE'S
LOOSE DIAMOND SYSTEM
IT'S BEING SHOWN...
HOW TO BUY A DIAMOND
There are three approaches 10
buying a fine diamond, or an
exceptional piece of diamond
jewelry:
1. There is the old fashioned
way of looking for a ring until you
find one you like. If it's in your
price range. bu> it.. enjoy it.
and never look back.
2. Buy from a discount opera­tion.
It's probably been priced
much more than its worth.. .but
then vou can buv it for 50 per cent
off.
3. Learn something about dia­monds.
Learn about the cutting,
color, perfection and weight. Use
a microscope and know what to
look for. See a set of "Master
Color Stone"... and decide which
color will best fit your needs.
Select your unmounted diamond
and then select the exact ring for
the diamond.
At Wares we are more than
willing to take the time to explain
about diamonds... yes, we be­lieve
#3 is best. If you do find the
subject of diamonds interesting
.. .and you would like to get the
best possible in a diamond, here
are a few facts which we present
as a service to you.
What color is a diamond?
Diamonds come in all colors...
pale blue, dark blue, yellow, pink,
green. The famous Hope diamond
is a dark blue. But these colors
are called "fancies" and are quite
rare and expensive.
The most prized diamonds to
many are the colorless, or pure
white diamonds. Most diamonds
have a very faint tinge of some
color.. .usually yellow. WHAT
COLOR SHOULD YOURS BE?
That's up to you. You may feel
you prefer the very finest color...
But it will cost more than a
diamond with a slight color in it.
We have a set of "certified"
diamonds.. examples of each
color to assist you in understand­ing
this important point in
selecting a diamond. Once you
have seen all grades you will
better understand color grading
. . . and you will probably be able
to select the grade diamond that
you would prefer comparing
appearance and price.
What Shape is a Diamond?
Any shape. But there are six
shapes you see more of than
others: Brilliant. Marquise. Oval,
Emerald Cut, Pear and Hear'
Shape. The Brilliant cut. as v MI
know, is also called a Roumi
diamond.
Brilliant
Emerald Cut
Pear Shape
Heart Shape
How Big is a Diamond?
A diamond's size is measured
by its weight — in carats. There
are 142 carats in an avoirdupois
ounce. Carats are divided into
points — 100 points to the carat.
So a 52-point diamond is just over
half a carat.
But:
a brilliant cut diamond of 1 carat
will appear to most people to be
bigger than an emerald cut
diamond of the same weight!
Oval and marquise cuts also tend
to seem a little larger per carat.
You might think that a 2-carat
stone would cost less per carat
than a I-carat diamond (because,
after all. a 2-pound loaf of bread
doesn't cost twice as much as a
I-pound loaf). But that is not the
case. Because size itself is a rarity
factor. There are far. far fewer
2-carat stones in existence than
I -carat stones — and they cost a
good deal more than tiwee as
much a- ' carat stones of similar
quality •«i other respect'.
DID SOMEBODY SAY
"FLAWLESS?"
The clarity of a diamond is
important. Almost all diamonds
contain tiny inclusions — minute
imperfections included in them
when they were formed • by
nature To .ul! a diamond "flaw
less." a diamond must have no
imperfections when viewed by an
expert under 10-power magnifica­tion
in good light!
Instead, each has its own
unique personality — a tiny
addition by nature which makes
one diamond unlike any other in
the world.
How Well Is It Cut?
Not all diamonds are cut to the
perfection of those shown in the
pictures. Fine diamonds, how­ever,
are. The cutting and
faceting is for the purpose of
making the most of the diamond's
ability lo reflect and refract light
— to dazzle the beholder, as fine
diamonds have since time im­memorial
Is that all there is to know about
Diamonds?
Not at all. What should a
guarantee cover when one pur­chases
a diamond. (Remember to
always gel in writing the weight,
color, perfection, future'trade in
value, and a chart to show
identification features in a dia­mond).
How about the mounting
...after selecting the diamond
it's now THE important part. At
Wares we offer over 400 styles by
Orange Blossom. Artcarved. Ja-bcl.
Advance and Diane.
When you have the lime
come to Wares for a chat about
diamonds. We answer questions
honestly. We are proud of our 30
years in the American Gem
Society. We have the equipment
needed to properly grade dia­monds.
We always have the time
for you. . . Downtown or in Wares
at the Village Mall.
At Wares we recommend that
one never purchase a diamond
without having the opportunity to
first see the diamond under a
Diamond-scope. (The Diamond-scope
is a scientifically designed
instrument with back light and
bi-optical advantages never offer­ed
in a hand magnification. Ware
jewelers will be happy to show
you examples of all grades of
perfection ..using their dia-mondscope.

A-8 ®jt Auburn $Uin*man Thursday, January io, 1985
Padgett appointed
new co-op director
The appointment of W. Tho­mas
Padgett to succeed Frank
Vandegrift as Director of Coop­erative
Education at Auburn
University was announced today
by Vice President for Academic
Affairs Warren Brandt. The
appointment became effect­ive
Jan. 1.
Padgett, who previously served
as associate director, has been
with the AU Cooperative Educa­tion
program since 1970. Vande-grift
retired to serve as an
engineer-missionary in Zaire.
"It is always gratifying to find
a competent, highly recom­mended
person within the ranks
when a promotion opportunity
arises," Brandt commented in
announcing Padgett's appoint­ment.
"I think it reflects well
upon both Frank Vandegrift
and Tom Padgett that this tran­sition
can be made in the leader­ship
of what is widely regarded
as a model cooperative education
program."
Currently some 600 Auburn
students are enrolled in the pro­gram
under which they alternate
quarters of on-campus study with
experience as employees of coop-erating
companies. Origin­ating
in the School of Engineer­ing
in the 1930s, the AU program
under Vandegrift has been
expanded to include students in
Arts and Sciences, Forestry,
Home Economics, Agriculture
and Biological Sciences, Busi­ness,
Architecture and Fine Arts
and Education.
A 1963 graduate of Auburn in
electrical engineering, Padgett
worked four years with General
Electric until returning to
Auburn as an instructor and
research associate while earning
his Master of Science in Electri­cal
Engineering.
Padgett has been active in
cooperative education groups at
both the state and national level.
He is a charter member and past

Can you pick out
the MBM from the MBA's?
By giving yourself the advantage of a Masters of Brand Management, you're giving
yourself a better opportunity than an MBA to get a job and quickly succeed at building
a productive, lucrative career as a corporate product manager or account executive.
If selected for admittance into the Masters of BrandManagement program, you'll
spend time in the classroom and spend time as a salaried intern with a major national
company. Qualifying applicants may also be eligible for a $6,000 scholarship in the form
of a tax free stipend.

Mr. Waites is an Auburn graduate and a co-founder of Gear, Inc. of
New York. Now a multi-million dollar company, the firm began its
mercurial history in 1978 with luggage designs.
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Waites originated the "new country"style in
home furnishings and interior architecture. His "New Country Gear"
collections of furniture, fabric, wallpaper and graphics designs are
generally regarded as the most original and influential in the industry.
His book, American View (Harper and Row, 1984), pictorially
illustrates his design theory of juxtaposing the American native herit­age
with modern technology.

Mountain climbing balances risk , excitement
By Gylmer Fell
Features Staff
"It's like living on the edge—
that's why I like it," says Steve
Willard, an Auburn University
student, with risk-hungry eyes.
He speaks of mountain climb­ing
and the definite risk involved
in the way he climbs.
"I like free climbing—no sup­port
ropes, no safety lines—just
me and the rock," says Willard.
"You try to get the best grip on
the rock through cracks," says
Willard, who by necessity climbs
up the mountain bare-handed.
"You wouldn't have a feel for
anything with gloves on—you
need to have a tight grip always,"
he says.
But when a climber is rapelling
when the rope runs through your
(coming down the mountain), he
needs rope and gloves.
"Gloves keep your hands from
getting rope burns and blisters
hands," says Willard.
For climbing, Willard wears
good-traction hiking boots and
pants, not shorts, to avoid getting
cuts and scrapes. He also says
that a climber must never wear
baggy clothing because it can get
caught in the rappelling rope or
hung on a piece of rock.
"If your shirt gets caught, then
you are hung, too, until that shirt
comes off," says the climber.
Willard, 21, has been climbing
for almost three years. He
learned to climb in an Army pro­gram
at the University of South
Alabama and admits that
initially it wasn't easy to learn.
"You've got to get used to £he
feel of a mountain," he says. "It
took me about five climbs before I
felt really comfortable."
He enjoys climbing on the
Auburn campus at the 40-foot
rappelling tower near the ROTC
building or with climbing classes
who rappel down the 10-story
Haley Center. Chewacla Park
offers some good climbing, too,
Willard adds.
"You've got to do your own
thing," he says, "and you have
just got to find a place that will be
fun for you—and reasonably
safe."
For Willard, coming down the
mountain is a lot more fun than
going up because it is more chal­lenging.
Balance is important. A
climber has got to keep goodl>ody
form. One way to get down is to
use the "L position," where a
climber bends at the waist and
his feet help him balance as he
walks down the mountain.
Another type of rapelling is
"bounding," where the climber
uses his knees to push off and
away from the mountain while
releasing the rappelling rope.
"It's really fast—bounding—
and that's the most fun for me,"
says Willard, "but you don't want
to get out of control at any time.
You have to be careful."
Two methods of rappelling are
Swiss and Australian. Swiss is
going down feet first, facing the
mountain, and Australian is
rappelling head first.
"Australian is harder, but I
love it. It's the only way to go!"
exclaims Willard.
"The most difficult thing abut
climbing and rappelling is keeping
a good mental outlook on it," he
says, "because once you panic

get into trouble—you can fall if.
you don't pay attention."
Climbers must concentrate and
make only precise moves. If they
allow themselves to get careless,
they fall. A person must never
climb alone, Willard empha­sizes.
Someone must be with the
climber; if not on the mountain,
then at the. bottom of it. The per­son
at the bottom is called the
"belay man." He holds the r appell-ing
rope in case the climber falls.
When he tightens the rope fron
the ground, he breaks th
climber's fall, preventing hin
from falling any further.
The highest Willard ha
climbed was at Mount Cheahi
when he climbed 1,200 feet.
Willard says that a climb can'
be judged by the height. "It's th<
difficulty of the climb tha
counts," he explains.
"You never know what wil
happen when you're up then
climbing," says Willard, "but it'i
a good feeling when you get to th<
top.'
Associate professor assembles anthology
Economic hardships and
dwindling resources have forced
international business profes­sionals
and foreign language
scholars to examine their priori­ties,
notes Samia I. Spencer,
associate professor of foreign
languages at Auburn University,
in an anthology she recently
assembled and edited.
The anthology, Foreign Lan­guages
and International Trade:
A Global Perspective shows that
the humanities have a broader
role to play in international busi­ness
than is generally perceived,
she said.
"This brings the humanities to
a more realistic level," she added.
" I t establishes a dialogue
between education and business
to see how we can work together."
Unlike previous books on the
subject, Spencer's work draws
from the writings of businessmen
involved in international trade
as well as persons in the aca­demic
community. The combin­ing
of various perspectives offers
students of foreign language and
of business a much broader view
than they could obtain solely
within their disciplines, she
explained.
"Various disciplines think they
have nothing in common when,
in fact, they are really related,"
she said.
Part of the role of the humani­ties,
including foreign language
scholars, is to help society under­stand
its realities, adjust to
change, plan for the future and
transcend provincialism, she
said.
Foreign language scholars
have rarely attempted to respond
to society's needs in the past, but
a new consciousness is beginning
to develop, she added.
Meanwhile, U.S. businesses
have been reluctant to adjust to
the cultures of trading partners
and potential trading partners,
and have had a difficult time
conducting business in foreign
countries as a result. Spencer
said business whose education
includes instruction in the lan­guage
and culture of these coun­tries
are better prepared to deal
with them.
"We have to understand people
from other countries on their own
basis," she said. "We cannot live
in a cocoon."
"It is perhaps time that we, as
foreign language scholars and
humanists, broaden the scope of
our interests and become aware
of the full range of our responsi­bilities
toward our discipline and
our profession, as well as toward
society," she says in her intro­duction
to the book.

of the Opelika-Auburn
Credit Bureau. This information
is automatically filed in the credit
bureau's computer system.
According to Bowles, if some­one
writes bad checks and leaves
town without closing their bank
accounts, it will be registered in
the credit bureau's terminals.
How detrimental this record is,
Bowles says, depends on "the
bank involved and the number of
bad checks. Our service presents
only facts and no opinions on a
person, but it is better to clear
your debts than to suffer the pos­sible
consequences."
The local credit bureau, which
is a member of the Associated
Credit Bureaus, Inc., began using
the C.B.I, computer system in
1979. Their terminals can receive
and transmit information across
most of the United States. The
bureau also receives telephoned
information from many coun­tries
including England, South
Africa and Australia.
This network of computers can
trace a person's credit history
from one part of the country to
another. Bowles says that "large
credit card companies, such as
Visa and American Express, as
well as stores, banks and finance
companies can use their termi­nals
to tap any information on an
individual from credit bureaus
across the nation. It is extremely
difficult to run away from a bad
credit rating."
A person is tracked by the nine-digit
Social Security number att­ached
to every credit report, bank
account, insurance application,
loan application and tax return.
Since the passage of the Fair
Credit Reporting Act of 1971,
anyone who has a question con­cerning
his credit rating or has
been denied credit can visit their
local credit bureau. The Opelika-
Auburn Credit Bureau, located at
105-C N. 10 St. in Opelika, will
pull files on any students who
need its services.
"If a student is denied credit
and comes within 30 days, he can
see his files for no charge," says
Bowles. "After 30 days there is a
charge of $5 for a copy and $8 for
an interview to explain the file."
After moving from Auburn,
you locate the local credit report­ing
agency in a city by calling a
bank or the Better Business
Bureau.
If there is a dispute concerning
any information on someone's
credit, the credit bureau must
investigate, according to a recent
report by U.S. News and World
Report magazine. Any inaccu-l
rate information must be cor­rected
within two weeks and data'
that cannot be verified must be
removed from the file. If there is
further disagreement with the
bureau, you have the right to file
a statement of up to 100 words
concerning the problem.
If the bureau should make a
mistake, you can request that a
copy of the corrected report be
sent to anyone who received
erroneous information within the
last six months.
One major credit bureau firm,
TRW, Inc., estimates that of the
one million people a year who ask
to inspect their records, about
350,000 challenge the records'

Liberty Bowl victory
offers tonic for
bright Tiger program
Auburn's 21-15 Liberty Bowl triumph provided
the Tigers, the coaching staff and Auburn faithfuls
witl. several gifts that were gratefully accepted by
all involved despite the continuance of offensive
woe.3 from the Alabama game.
The battle signaled an end to a frustrating cam­paign
and brought relief to all knowing that the
five month season - turned - ordeal was finally
concluded.
The conquering of the 7-3-1 Hogs may have also
minutely aided in the erasing of the painful
thoughts of a 17-15 defeat in Legion Field. Simply
having a game sandwiched between the Alabama
loss and all-important recruiting and preparation
for the '85 season has to help the football program.
And perhaps the foremost reward resulting from
the victory was that the seniors, who were instru­mental
in keying a resurgence in Auburn football,
left the college gridiron as winners.
The strength of the Auburn program they helped
to fashion is evident when you consider only SMU,
Nebraska and BYU have won more games than
Auburn has (29) the last three seasons under the
care of noticeably easier schedules, especially in the
case of BYU and SMU.
But the Liberty win itself allowed few fans to
sense the beginning of a new period of offensive
effectiveness for Auburn after viewing the Tennes­see
affair.
The wishbone attack was given numerous chan­ces
to deal a knockout blow to the Razorbacks by an
inspired Auburn defense and an Arkansas offense
mired with turnovers.
Auburn failed to seal the contest until Bo Jack­son's
39-yard jaunt late in the fourth quarter,leav­ing
Tiger fans aggravated with the offense.
However, the problems Auburn faces in the future
don't deal with personnel, but how to best tap the
wealth of talent that will be present in '85.
The offense will lose only one starter in split end
Clayton Beauford and retains the talent to reach
the explosive heights of the famed Nebraska Corn-husker
assault of '83-84.
A killer instinct coupled with the proper forma­tions
and play calls should beget Auburn fans an
offense to remember in '85.
The often mentioned personality of the offense
can be born in spring and fall drills while the black­board
work is an off-season responsibility of a
coaching staff re-committing itself to football
excellence.
Hopefully the tenacious play of the defensive line
and the timely play of the secondary exhibited in
the Liberty Bowl will carry over to the '85 edition of
the defense.
A strong nucleus of defensive linem en like Gerald
Robinson, Harold Hallman, Nate Hill and Ron
Stallworth will be in uniform to construct a domi­nating
defense around.
The odds of Auburn, under the present guidance
in the football program, ending another season
below expectations is slim.
The talent will again be assembled for another
SEC and possible national title run.
Although Auburn wasn't in the title picture dur­ing
the bowls, one more controversial chase was
successfully run by the 13-0 BYU.
The Cougars proved that only a perfect record,
regardless of the pitifulness of the opposition, is
necessary to reign as national champions.
Besides BYU quarterback Robbie Boscoe's
injury-riddled performance in the Holiday Bowl,
likable Cougar Coach La Veil Edwards' squad
attained the cheapest national title in years.
The Florida Gators were probably the premier
team in the nation, but aptly payed a heavy fare for
their crimes including, most likely, a SEC title and a
possible national championship.
After watching Washington ( with a little help
from the now possibly trashed Sooner Schooner )
deliver Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer a 28-17 set­back,
the Huskies would have received my vote for
No. 1.
But for the second consecutive season, debate
plagues the mythical national title and playoffs are
a necessity if college football wishes to sincerely
crown a real national champion.

Tigers smoke stingy Razorbacks
By Paul Sullivan
Sports Editor
Although the closeness of Auburn's 21-15 Liberty
Bowl victory over Arkansas was indicative of an
Auburn season in which seven games were decided
by 10 points or less, the methods used by the Tigers
to capture a fourth straight bowl weren't character­istic
of other Tiger wins.
Auburn Coach Pat Dye's potent ground attack
entered the game ranked seventh in the nation, but
was held to only 168 yards by the quick and aggres­sive
Razorback defense. The Hog wishbone out-gained
the Auburn offense by 104 yards, making the
Memphis affair only the fourth time this season
(two wins and two losses) the Tigers had been
bested in total offense.
The Auburn defense registered its first TD of the
'84 campaign as cornerback Kevin Porter inter­cepted
a Brad Taylor toss and raced 43 yards for the
Tigers' second six-pointer of the night.
The secondary also pirated four Arkansas tosses

totaling half of its previous 12-game total of eight
intercepts.
"I think our defense played super and came up
with some big plays to keep us in the ballgame,"
Dye said. "I'm so proud of our guys I don't know
what to do."
"They did what it took to win."
Offensively, Arkansas piled up 356 yards in total
offense to only 252 for the Tigers as Hog signal
callers threw for 226 yards on 40 attempts.
However, the Auburn offense clinched the contest
with 5:38 remaining in the game when Bo Jackson
took a Pat Washington pitchout and rambled 39
yards giving Auburn a 21-9 lead.
"Offensively, we kept on fighting until finally Bo
broke one open," Dye said." We didn't have the best
game on offense, but I'm so proud of the way they
kept on going until they got it in."
Jackson was the game's MVP with 88 yards and
two touchdowns on 18 carries while fullback Tom-mie
Agee bulled for 29 yards on only four attempts.
Auburn quarterbacks Washington, Mike Mann
and Jeff Burger went to the air 15 times and starter
Washington threw all of Auburn's five comple­tions
for 84 yards.
The Tigers received the opening kickoff and
Lewis Colbert was called on to punt the first of his
nine punts on the night after the offense gained one
first down. The Hog offense then drove from its 28 to
the Auburn 11 where Arkansas hit the scoreboard
on a 28-yard field goal.
Auburn countered with a 80-yard drive in 11 plays
on the ensuing possession to take a 6-3 lead.
A third down Washington pass to Jackson from
the Auburn 39 broke the game's leading rusher
down the left sideline to the Razorback 36-yard line.
Washington was again good to split end Clayton
Beauford to the two-yard line where Jackson hit
paydirt on the next play. Kicker Robert McGinty
missed the PAT.

Tide, State remain an early mystery
By Paul Sullivan
Sports Editor
Sonny Smith's young Auburn squad's next two
encounters are with SEC foes who have certainly
been a mystery in conference play so far in the
fresh season.
Saturday's Mississippi State clash will feature a
Bulldog team which was expected to land in the
second division of the conference at season's end
and is now riding a two-game winning streak over
powerful title contenders.
Bob Boyd's 'Dogs (6-5 overall,2-0 SEC) vaulted
out to a 27-point lead over the Crimson Tide in
Tuscaloosa and held on after an Alabama charge
to whip the Tide 71-67.
Two days later, the confident Bulldogs man­aged
a startling Starkville upset of the then 14th
ranked LSU Tigers.
The 83-69 victory over Dale Brown's Bengals
sent to the Bulldogs to the top of the conference
standings and has made State the talk of the
league.
Boyd's deliberate style of basketball has aided
the 'Dogs who have benefited from the needed
inside play of freshmen Raymond Brown (6-8) and
Ervin Dillon (6-8).
"They have gotten great inside help from Brown
and Dillon and t
