The Auburn University Board of Trus­tees
approved a 9.6 percent increase in
tuition effective March 1986 at their meet­ing
Sept. 20.
The increase will raise Auburn's for
undergraduate state resident students
from $365 to $400 per quarter.
Out-of-state tuition will change from
$835 to $915 per quarter.
The Trustees also approved an addi­tional
$14 an hour charge for students
who take more than 15 hours a quarter.
President James E. Martin said that an
average course load for Auburn students
is 18 to 19 hours a quarter.
With the tuition increase, the average
student will pay $442 for one quarter
instead of the $365 now paid. The addi­tional
charge for out-of-state students will
be $32 for each hour over 15. The average
out-of state student taking 18 hours will
pay $1,011 a quarter.
Auburn students have never before
been charged an additional fee for taking
more than 15 hours a quarter.
Martin said the reason trustees added
the extra fee is to discourage students
from taking heavy course loads.
"We are still much lower than the Uni­versity
of Alabama," and other universi­ties
in the state, said Martin.
A student caking 18 hours, the average
at Auburn, will pay $1326 in tuition for
one year.
Admission officials at the University of
Alabama said in-state students pay $1254
per year in tuition. ,
With the tuition increase a student at
Auburn taking 15 hours will pay $1200 a
year to go to school.
There have been several increases in
tuition at Auburn in the past 10 years,
said business manager, Rhett Riley.
In 1978, tuition rose from $175 to $183.
It was incresed in 1979 to $200 and then
again, in 1980 to $220, added
Riley.
The largest increase was in 1981 when
the tuition went to $330. In 1984 it was
increased to $360 and then to $365 Janu­ary
of this year.
Martin estimated that $3.7 million in
additional funds for the university will be
created by the increase.
"These increases are recommended
only after careful consideration and are
essential if Auburn is to offer quality edu­cation,"
Martin said during the meeting
of the trustees.
Budget
During its last meeting, the Board also
approved the 1985-86 budget of
$289,949,105 including Auburn Univer­sity
at Montgomery. Last year's budget
for both schools was $219,041,707.
"This budget is a budget that under any
scrutiny will show that. Auburn Univer­sity
is making progress," Martin said.
TKEs ordered to lower stars, stripes
By Lee Ann Landers
Assistant News Editor
Flag controversies still flourish
on Auburn's campus, except this
quarter an' oversized' American
flag is the target.
Last winter quarter the con-
. troversy over an 'oversized' con­federate
flag displayed at the
Kappa Alpha fraternity house
resulted in President James E.
Martin banning all flags larger
than 5 feet by 7 feet, and those not
flown from a flag pole.
Because of this ruling, this
week the Tau Kappa Epsilon fra­ternity
was asked to take down
an American flag it displayed for
a band party and rush, said TKE
President Mike Baucom.
Grant Davis, assistant dean of
students, said the fraternity was
requested to take the flag down
because of the ruling made last
February.
However, the TKE fraternity
plans to appeal the action and
ask for an amendment to the rul­ing,
Baucom said.
"We are going to ask Lee Stutts,
the fraternity advisor, to call a
meeting of the University Com­mittee
on Fraternities and Soror­ities
either Friday or early next
week so we can appeal this
action," Baucom said.
If the CFS does decides to sup­port
an amendment, Baucom
said, it will be presented to Mar­tin
for a ruling.
"If there isn't an exception
made for the American flag,"
Baucom added, "then we'll have
to take some other type of action
the University may not like."
Baucom said the fraternity
plans to use publicity as a cam­paign
tool if an exception is not
made.
Although Davis would not say
who, he did say his office received
complaints about the flag being
hung from the TKE house.
"There were some complaints,"
said Davis, "but that is not why I
asked them to take the flag down.
If the case had been that I had
driven by the house and saw it, I
would have been obligated to
make them take it down because
of the ruling last year."
But Baucom said the fraternity
itself received no complaints,
only support.
"We have received only good
comments about the flag. An
Auburn University policeman
told one of our fraternity brothers
that he liked the flag."
Originally, the TKE fraternity
used the flag as a backdrop for a
band party during rush, but Bau­com
said the fraternity received

New directors, flags, uniforms
Band undergoes changes for fall Photography: Rung Austin
By Suzy Fleming
Associate Editor
A new set of uniforms and a
new flag corps will only be two of
the changes the Auburn Univer­sity
Marching Band will have
undergone when it steps on the
field of Jordan-Hare Stadium for
the first time this year.
A number of changes besides
the flags and uniforms were
made in the band this year, said
Johnnie Vinson, who was named
marching band director last
spring when Bill Walls became
director of all bands after more
than 25 years with the marching
band. Dr. Vinson had been Dr.
Walls' assistant director for 14
years.
Dr. Vinson said the main part
of his job has not changed. "I still
write almost all the music the
band plays and I'm doing more
administrative things, "he said.
"Ju t knowing I have the ulti­mate
responsibility makes it feel
different. It's up to me now."
A new assistant director was
hired to help Dr. Vinson. Tom
,'Caneva, a graduate of the Uni-jversity
of Illinois and the Uni-
/versity of Texas, designs the
' band's shows.
Caneva brought a new method
of teaching shows to band
members. "The people in the
stands will see new uniforms and
flags. The new charting system,
the way drills are taught will not
be something everybody sees."
But the new set of uniforms will
be highly visible, said Dr. Vin­son.
The West Point-style uni­forms
were made possible by a
donation from James Goodwin.
They replace the badly faded set
that has been in use since 1975.
The flag corps will be the other
obvious difference. There was
some resistance to the flag corps,
Dr. Vinson said.
"Anytime there is change,
there is resistance," he said. "To
change makes people uncomfor­table.
A number of people didn't
want flags because we have
never had them before. If I didn't
feel they would contribute, I
wouldn't have added them. I
believe people will like the
changes they will see."
Janet Szczepanski, 01PN, is a
member" of Auburn's first flag
corps. "All the feedback I've got­ten
has been good," she said.
"People are always telling me
'glad to have you.'"
Szczepanski said she thinks
the band has accepted the corps
well. "A lot of it was our attitude,"
she said. "We had to show the
band we wanted to be part of it.
Most have been pleased with
what they have seen."
Jenny Dover, 04 from Grand
Bay, has been in the band for
eight years. "I love band, " she
said. "There have been quarters
when I was only in school fall,
just so I could be in the band.
That's where all my friends are.
It seems like we would get tired of
each other, but we don't."
Dover said she is trying to be
open minded, but she does not
like change. "I don't think they
take as much care for us as for a
good band," she said. "I think we
are more organized, though, and
we always have good music. I like
the music."
No matter what the attitudes,
the band will take the field Sat­urday
with a show that Dr. Vin­son
said "won't be like anything
the band has ever done before. To
find out what I mean, they will
just have to come see for
themselves."

Expansion of the Ralph Brown
Draughon library received a
boost in the form of a $1 million
donation from the Auburn
Athletic Department, the largest
show of support for the Univer­sity
from the athletic depart­ment.
Athletic director Pat Dye
announced the donation last
week, and said that he is the
chairman of a committee to raise
an additional $3 million for the
library.
Dye said the first million dol­lars
will come mainly from gate
receipts at the stadium, and the
additional money will be raised
from Auburn alumni and friends
of the University.
"Athletics and academics
should go hand in hand, each
benefitting from the success of
the other," said Dye.
The athletic department has
shared a portion of the A-Day
game gate receipts with the
library since Dye became head
coach in 1981.
Dye said he believes that "the
library is the one place on cam­pus
that affects all students."
The $4 million raised by the
athletic department will be
matched by a state bond issue to
fund the library passed by the
legislature two weeks ago.
The athletic department dona­tion
and the state bond issue will
also be matched by an additional
$8 million from a University bond
issue and tuition increase
approved by the Board of
Trustees.
The hope of the university is to
double the size of the library.
President Martin said that "by
the end of the decade we hope to
apply for membership in the
Association of Research Librar­ies.
"
Other monies that are ear­marked
for the library include $5
million of the $16.3 million
appropriated by the state legisla­ture
for Auburn University.
No plans have been made yet
concerning the planning and
beginning of construction for the
library. The estimated cost of the
expansion is $16 to $18 million.

Health Center to increase
student medical charges
Bob Padgett
News Staff
Drake Student Health Center
has been charging students
small fees for lab work and x-rays
since Spring 1984 "to meet the ris­ing
costs of medical supplies and
to keep the health center from
becoming a deficit operation,"
says Dr. D.W. Oleson, current
director of the center.
In 1973, Auburn University
began charging students $15
each, as part of his or her tuition.
The money collected was used to
buy medical supplies necessary
for the adequate health care of
Auburn students.
However, rising medical
supply costs from 1973 to 1984 far
outpaced the health center's
budget forcing it to operate at a
loss, Oleson said.
For this reason, in the fall of
1984, former health center direc­tor,
Dr. Judith Hood, proposed to
the medical advisory committee
that the medical fee be raised to*
$25 per student.
The committee only approved
$20 but stipulated that if this
money failed to support the
health center, the director could
do whatever was necessary to
balance the health center's
budget.
As a result, in the spring of
1984, the health center began
instituting fees on certain items
to balance that budget.
These steps included the cance­lation
of 24 hour service. The
health center was operating three
shifts of nurses to maintain 24
hour service at great cost. This
practice was not efficient due in
part to the fact that only a few
students took advantage of this
service, said Oleson.
Secondly, the center began
charging students small fees for
lab work and X-rays. Before the
spring of 1984, a student could
have lab work and x-rays done
free. Now the tests cost range in
price from $2 to $20.
The health center currently
operates a fully stocked phar­macy.
This facility is only avail­able
to Auburn students and is
capable of filling any pre­scription.
Student injured by goal post
By Mike Money
News Staff
In the last 17 seconds of the
Auburn-Tennessee game in
Knoxville, Tenn., a crowd of
Tennessee football fans poured
onto the football field and tore
down both goal posts.
There were two crowds, and thel
first crowd tore down one of
the goal posts with 17 seconds,
remaining in the game. Doug
Hill, 23, a Huntsville student
attending Calhoun Junior Col­lege,
was struck on the chest by
the falling goal post.
The Birmingham News re­ported
that Hill suffered eight
broken ribs and two collapsed
lungs. He is listed in serious con­dition
in the neuro-respiratory
unit at University of Tennessee
Memorial Hospital.
The second crowd tore down
the other goal post when, the
game ended. After tearing down
the second goal post, the mob
began to carry it toward an end-zone
exit.
"It looked like they were trying
to carry it outside but we (thel
band) were in the way and there I
wasn't anywhere for us to go," I
said Caroline Salter, an Auburn
band member.
A number of fans, band
members, majorettes and color I
guard members were shoved into
the fence surrounding the foot­ball
field as the crowd attempted
to exit the stadium with the goal
post.
Salter was struck on the head
with the goal post and knocked
unconscious for several seconds
before being assisted by friends.
She was treated by the Univer­sity
of Tennessee first-aid team
and released.
"I hope Auburn fans never get
that way, said Salter.

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE Photography: J a y Sallow
Traditions are buried in t h e rubble as demolition makes way for t h e conference center
Value of frat houses still undecided
By Denise Self
News Staff
The value of the four fraternity
houses along College Street is
still undecided among the three
appraisers, said Rhett E. Riley,
vice president of business and
finance.
Riley said the settlement pend­ing
between the University and
fraternities since June will possi­bly
"reach a figure (settlement)
within a two-week period."
The four affected fraternities
forced to move in June after a
year's notice to make way for a
225-room conference center are:
Phi Delta Theta, Delta Sigma
Phi, Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha
Gamma Rho.
The University and fraterni­ties
have each selected an
appraiser following their inabil­ity
to reach an agreement this
summer.
According to provisions in
each fraternities' long-term land
lease, the chosen appraisers will
select a third appraiser and the
three will decide on an acceptable
^figure, Riley said.
; Riley said initially the fraterni­ties
were offered the average of
two appraisals for the four build­ings
last fall. According to spo­kesmen
for the fraternities, each
fraternity has had their own
appraisal completed.
When that offer was rejected,
Riley said, the University then
offered the same appraisal and
an amount for the unexpired
v value of the existing lease in
which the University officially
terminated June 15.
To assist them in relocating,
Riley said, the fraternities were
offered a rent-free lot on Wire
Road and up to $300,000 in lower
than market rate loans to secure
construction for the fraternity
houses.
Riley said although the frater­nities
rejected the second offer,
relations between the two parties
are good.
"It's an emotional thing to see
their houses torn down but I
think they have accepted it quite
well," he said.
Riley added, however, Univer­sity
contacts have not met with
the fraternities directly, but with
their lawyer at their request.
In a telephone interview with
Jesse M. Williams III, a Mont­gomery
lawyer reprecenting the
four fraternities, Williams said
the settlement "was going to be
up to the appraisers."
He added that he "hoped the
settlement would be reached
quickly so the fraternities could
make their plans for rebuilding."
: At present, two f r a t e r n i ty
houses, Alpha Gamma Rho and
Pi Kappa Phi, have been demol­ished
at the center site. T.M. Bur-gin

ing down the buildings Sept. 19,
Riley said.
Prior to the demolition, Riley
said the property of the center site
was subject to a final inspection
by the three appraisers.
This summer the University
was involved in a $42,000 project
to remove asbestos from the
buildings before they were torn
down. The Environmental Pro­tection
Agency required that the
asbestos be removed before
demolition.
The two remaining fraternity
buildings will be torn down in
two weeks, Riley said.
He added that the unresolved
settlement has had no effect on
continuing plans for the confer­ence
center, named The Hotel/-
Continuing Education Center.
Representatives for the center
met with the University Sept. 26
to review construction plans, he
said
Riley said that Algernon Blair
Co. of Montgomery and Allison
Development Co. of Charlotte,
N.C., both private developers,
would begin construction after
demolition was completed.
The center will sit on a 5.16 acre
site across from the Ralph B.
Draughton Library and is
expected to cost $16 to $18 mil­lion,
said Riley.
"The project is funded through
private investments and no stu­dent
funds will be used," he said.
The four uprooted fraternities
• have presently secured living
' quarters for the following year.
Pi Kappa Phi has signed a
] two year lease for the old Delta
Chi house on 530 Biggio Drive,
said Steve Gosser, president of
the fraternity. Delta Chi lost their
charter earlier this summer.
Phi Delta Theta has signed a
one year lease for the old Chi Phi
house at 320 W. Magnolia Ave.,
said Trip Summersell, treasurer
of the fraternity.
Alpha Gamma Rho has signed
a nine month lease for Capri
Dorm on Magnolia, a former pri­vate
girls dormitory, said John
Chapman, president of the fra­ternity.
The fraternity plans to
build a house on private property
in the future.
Delta Sigma Phi, the only fra­ternity
to purchase permanent
housing, bought the building
located at 326 Magnolia Ave.,
said Mike Gauthier, president of
the fraternity. A health food res­taurant,
100% Vegetarian Food,
occupied the building this
summer.
"We borrowed a bridge loan to
cover additional expenses until
the property settlement with the
University," Gauthier said. A
bridge loan is a temporary bank
loan.
Gauthier said the additional
expenses the loan would cover
include the rental of a storage
unit to store furniture, payment
of the water deposit and connec­tion
fees for telephones and all
utilities for the new house.
He added the settlement would
pay for their house.
John Clancy, a f r a t e r n i ty
brother, said the fraternity plans
to build on the property within
three to five years.

Two Auburn University vete-r
i n a r y medicine students,
charged with cheating, were
allowed to temporarily begin
classes after a federal judge ruled
that the students be allowed back
in school until the outcome of
lawsuit against the University.
David M. Nash and Donna C.
Perry, both second year vet stu­dents
filed suit last week in U.S.
District Court alleging they were
falsely accused of cheating on an
anatomy test last spring quarter.
The two students were handed
a one-year suspension last June
following a ruling by the Student
Board of Ethical Relations, a
student group created to hear
cases involving academic
honesty, said Julian McPhillips,
a Montgomery lawyer represent­ing
Nash and Perry.
The students appealed to Pres­ident
James E. Martin Dr. John
Vaughn, dean of the veterinary
school, but both appeals were
denied, said McPhillips.
None of the defendants would
comment on the case because it is
against university policy to
comment on pending trials,
according to Fowler Dugger,
head of University Relations.
The students were accused of
exchanging answers on a test
last May. "No witnesses saw the
exchange of information by word
or by hand," said McPhillips.
The students claim that sim­ilarities
on the test were merely
coincidental, as the students
were frequent study partners.
Only seven answers out of 28
questions showed any similarity,
McPhillips said. .
Nash and Perry were not
informed of any of the charges
until the day before the hearing
and did not have adequate time to
prepare for the hearing, accord­ing
to McPhillips. "They (Nash
and Perry) were denied any
semblance of due process," he
said.
Although the students have
been allowed to attend all classes
and labs, they are not officially
enrolled in school, indicated
McPhillips. "They are attending
on an audit basis," he said.
U.S. District Judge Truman
Hobbs has set the hearing for
Oct. 18, but warned that "if the
courts get into this, lawyers could
turn academic honor systems
into a zoo and no one would ever
get suspended for anything."

Cutbacks sound
A l t h o u g h we believe last
December's decision by the Auburn
Board of Trustees to further expand
Jordan-Hare Stadium was unfortu­nate,
recent moves by the board to
delay construction and cutback on
several expansion luxuries allowing
contractors to meet the $15 million,
expansion budget deserve applause.
Also Athletic Director Pat Dye's
announcement that he will donate
$1 million to t h e library and chair a
committee to raise an additional $4
million is welcomed news to those of
us who believe a university's
athletic program can be an asset to
its academics.
First to the stadium expansion.
When the contractor's original
bids exceeded the $15 million limit
earlier this summer, the board
scaled down the expansion plans
omitting costly landscaping plans
and such luxuries as color televi­sions
for the "sky boxes."
The revised plans coupled with
the delay of the projects completi-tion
date until August of 1987, should
enable contractors to submit bids
under the $15 million ceiling set by
the University.
A common misconception about
the stadium expansion is t h a t the $8
students pay to the athletic depart­ment
out of their $54 quarterly stu­dent
activities fees are being used to
fund the expansion.
The $8 was pledged against bonds
that will help pay for the addition
and the presence of the $8 will save
the University millions of dollars
since the bond premiums will be
lower.
The fee is presently used, and will
continue to be used as a ticket sub­sidy
for students permitting them to
purchase football tickets for $4 and
attend baseball games and other
sporting events free.
The fee also helps support non-revenue
sports such as golf,track
and tennis.
The expansion will also not cause
the loss of any student seating and
every student who wishes to attend
a home game can purchase a ticket.
However, one legitimate concern
surrounding the stadium expansion
is the image the University is por­traying
in light of the library need­ing
additional funds and tuition
being raised.
The $1 million donation by Dye
and guarantee to head efforts in
raising $4 million are important
steps in countering what could be an
image problem for the University.
The fund-raising drive Dye will
direct will enable the University to
match the $5 million appropriation
by the state legislature for the
library.
The resulting improvements in
the level of education Auburn stu­dents
will enjoy should show the
potential place athletics could hold
in bolstering academic standards.
Hopefully Dye set a precedent he
and future athletic directors and
administrators will follow.
Hour charge unwise
It's that time of year again.
No, we do not mean football time,
or back-to-school time or time to buy
new fall clothes.
We mean the time of year when
Auburn students have to dig deep
down in their pockets and pull out
enough money to cover tuition, rent,
books, Chefs Club bills, football
tickets, etc.
It's a time familiar to all Auburn
students. It's a time when making
budgets and cutting corners become
everyday activities.
It's also a time to take note of the
rising costs of a college education.
As usual, expenses are going up this
year, including housing and tuition.
Though we may gripe and groan
about these changes, we must all
realize that more money is con­stantly
being needed to update facil­ities
and programs on campus to
continue providing all students with
the quality education for which
Auburn is famous.
The proposed tuition hike for
spring quarter 1986 appears to be
like all other tuition hikes in years
p a s t . In-state students will be
charged a flat fee of $400 for 10-15
class hours, and students taking
hour loads under the full-time
requirements will pay less. Out-of-state
students will pay $915 per
quarter up from the present $835.
There is one difference in the new
tuition costs that is disturbing. Stu­dents
taking more than 15 hours a
quarter will have to pay $14 extra for
each additional class hour they
take.
This requirement would not be as
disturbing if 15 hours per quarter
were a normal load. According to the
Auburn University Bulletin,
though, graduation requirements
range from 196-257 hours, depend­ing
upon the major field of study.
This means t h a t a student who only
needs 196 hours to graduate must
take a minumum of 16.3 hours a
quarter to graduate in 12 quarters,
the normal amount of time consi­dered
for graduation.
This student who must take 16 or
17 hours a quarter will have to pay
an additional fee, as well as
hundreds of others who may have to
take 17 or 18 hours a quarter.
Why penalize students for taking
a regular load? Why penalize stu­dents
who want to graduate "on
time" without having to spend extra
quarters in summer school?
And for the many Auburn stu­dents
who change majors, they will
be left with the option of spending
maybe five or six years in college or
paying hours.
The maximum number of hours
considered for the flat rate should be
raised to 18 in order to concur with
the standards set by Auburn for full
loads and hours needed to graduate.
No student who wants to utilize
his quarter more effectively by tak­ing
a heavy load should have to pay
more than any other student on
campus. No student should be
penalized for trying to get the most
out of his education.

Politics hinders education
Whether the Alabama Education
Association under lobbyist Paul Hub­bard,
the Legislature, special interest
groups or a series of governors are to
blame for nurturing an apparent crisis
in Alabama's educational system, the
performance and image of state educa­tion
is unlikely to improve quickly and
will be a focal issue in the upcoming pol­itical
campaigns.
Alabama Attorney General Charles
Graddick, who is a possible candidate
for the state's most powerful office, said
Alabama's educational system has
lapsed into critical condition.
Graddick alluded to the so-called
"brain drain" of college graduates in
Alabama as they seek employment out­side
the state because of the lack of
opportunities in the state.
A classic example of job opportunities
fumbled is the well publicized decision of
General Motors Corporation to locate its
Saturn plant in Tennessee instead of
Alabama. GM said the move was a
result of Tennessee's reform efforts in
public education.
Alabama has attempted some reform
efforts of its own spawned partly by
failures in attracting industry.
Gov. George Wallace created the Gov­ernor's
Education Reform Commission
which studied the status of education in
the state and arrived at a reform plan
which included the career ladder plan.
The plan, which has been passed by
the Legislature and signed by Wallace,
contains well deserved pay hikes for
teachers mirroring their teaching
abilities.
The teachers' aptitude will be judged
by a criteria which has yet to be estab­lished
by a study committee.
Tenured teachers will receive a 15 per­cent
pay raise while those without
tenure will be granted 5 percent salary
hikes.
Also a scholarship loan system has
been formed which rewards students
who pursue a teaching career in subjects
like mathematics, computer technology
and science.
The scholarship-loan program sounds
like a genuine effort to attract quality
personnel into the teaching profession.
However, in Alabama politics when­ever
and wherever money is to be allo­cated,
the threats of special interest

if?
groups and their attached voting blocs
loom over any decisions and often out­weigh
the best interests of the state.
As will probably be the fate of the
career ladder plan which is guided by
standards being set > by the study
committee.
One only has to have observed last
week's absurd voyage of an Education
Bond Issue through the Legislature to
believe the doling out of money brings
out the worst in the state's politics.
The bill was introduced to the House
at $275 million and immediately began
to slog through the swamp of interest
group's jabs.
After House and Senate committees
had tacked on $13.5 and $21.5 million to
the bill respectively (most likely for some
legislators area school funds as re­election
time nears), the Alabama
Democratic Council felt required to sink
a hook into the bond issue.
The black wing of the Alabama
Democratic Party, led by Rep. Joe Reed,
held the bill hostage while succeeding in
persuading the governor's office to
burden the bill with actually $4 million
more than the $11 million Reed had
initially desired.
The governor's office wilted under
pressure from the legislators who com­mand
the federal lawsuit alleging the
state hasn't adequately funded black
schools.
At Reeds behest the bill was sent to a
conference committee allowing legisla­tors
to joyously add another $15 million
to the bond issue.
The Senate rejected the extra $15 mil­lion
and eventually a $310 million bond
issue was passed with a 60-40 split for
k i n d e r g a r t e n and post-secondary
schools.
Why should an industry hunting a
stable and progressive environment for
business locate in a state which can't
pass an important education bill with­out
a host of political games?
If the type of leadership that steered
the education bond issue through the
Legislature continues to lead the state,
we can hardly expect the ills of educa­tion
to be solved.

Columnist views differ from paper's
"The Plainsman is too liberal."
How many times have you heard that
statement since you've been at Auburn?
If you and your friends are avid readers
of the Auburn Plainsman you have
probably heard those five words uttered
many times.
You may believe that statement with
all your heart and soul, and you may
even be guilty of throwing those words
around at parties or on the concourse.
I have heard that statement hundreds
of times myself, but I don't believe it.
And there's another one I don't believe,
either.
"The Plainsman is too conservative."
Hundreds of people have told me that
one, too. But how can the newspaper be
too liberal and too conservative at the
same time? I would think a paper could
be one or the other, but not both simul­taneously.
That's kind of like belonging
ito the Democratic and Republican party
during the same election, or cheering for
Auburn and Alabama at the same Iron
Bowl classic.
There is a definite conflict of opinions
here on the campus about the
Plainsman—one that I find quite
amusing.
Many of my friends complain about
how liberal the paper is and are con­stantly
asking me why I let the Plains­man
print some of the "rebellious, radi­cal"
material that shows up on the pages
on Thursday. I have just as many other
friends, though, who constantly inform
me that the paper is too conservative
and who truly believe that the Moral
Majority is one of its biggest supporters.
4
I have to laugh at all these people,
especially when I ask them to point out
specifically what is too liberal or too
conservative about the -newspaper,
because they always point out the same
thing—a particular personal column
with which they do not agree.
I realize that many personal columns
in the Plainsman are conservative, and
many are liberal. There's nothing wrong
with a good cross-section like that,
though, and the various columns do not
in any way reflect the feeling of the
paper itself. If my friends were to critic­ize
the editorials that run down the left
side of that section each week, I would
understand, because those editorials are
the "voice" of the paper—the opinion of
the editorial board.
But most readers do not base their crit­icism
on the editorials or the news con­tent
or the sports page or the entertain­ment
record reviews. They just say the
paper is too conservative or too liberal
because of particular columns and
columnists.
These students who criticize the paper
for leaning too far to the le!ft or too far to
the right need to start reading all of the
columns every week, because just about
any kind of view on every kind of issue
can be found.
It takes a large group of people to put
together an award-winning newspaper
like the Plainsman, and when that
many different people are brought
together there is bound to be an abun­dance
of opinions and ideas that con­flict.
But the editors whose faces appear
on the editorial pages every Thursday
are just exercising their First Amend- tf
ment rights when writing a column, just
as the readers may exercise their same
rights by responding to those columns
with letters to the editor.
So, if you do not agree with a personal
column, if you think someone's ideas are
too conservative or too liberal, then say
so. Don't criticize the paper as a whole
because of one column. Just criticize the
columnist.
By all means write a letter to the editor
and express your views. Or, if you are
not crazy about seeing your name in
print or you don't think what you have to
say can be printed, then write a personal
letter to the columnist and tell him
exactly what you think about his ridicu­lous
ideas. Call the columnist on the
phone and call him an idiot or a fool.
Stop him on the concourse and tell just
exactly how wrong he is about every­thing.
Laugh at him when he walks into
your classroom.
But please, don't hurt him physically.
We need these editors so we can put out
an award-winning paper again next
week.
Isolation does more harm than good
A college formed in Vermont espe­cially
for dyslexics may have its advan­tages
and disadvantages.
Landmark College, which sits on the
site formerly occupied by Windham Col­lege,
is a first-of-its-kind program for
high school graduates that began
classes last week.
What makes it so different from other
colleges is that it only admits dyslexics,
individuals who are unable to learn at
the same pace as others while having
average to superior intellectual ability.
According to an article in The Sunday
Columbus Enquirer, the price of the
school, which is operated for profit,
rivals the most expensive colleges in the
country.
It offers programs stressing repeti­tious
drills requiring intense concentra­tion
and discipline. Each pre-college
class is followed by a one-on-one tutor­ial,
in which the instructor repeats the
key points of lessons a student has just
heard.
At a college like Landmark, I know
that each student would be guaranteed
the attention he or she needs to learn;
however, it seems that this type of
atmosphere, where all of the students
are dyslexics, would create an isolation
from the world each student needs to
cope with before graduation.
I believe that the students from such a
college would be in for a rude awakening
when they leave the college to find a job
in the market where most people are out
to get only what they desire for them­selves,
not others.
Picture a graduate who has had four
years of individual attention working
with others who have had four years of
learning in classrooms of thirty, forty or
even more students each. One could
imagine how difficult it would be for
those from a slow-learning atmosphere
to endure the impatience of some of their
co-workers.
In high school and during my fresh­man
year in college, I worked with
dyslexics who were enrolled in classes
being taught near my classes. Though
they did not learn in the same rooms as
myself and others, the time we were able
to have together before, during and after
lessons each day proved to be
invaluable.
At times when we would be convers­ing,
they would comment that being
around students who didn't share their
disorder encouraged them to want to
learn more. They realized that they
would have to adapt to others sometime;
therefore, it would be better to expe­rience
a steady adaptation while it was
possible.
I wonder how many students come to
Landmark College without exposure to
others first.
I could see how such an exposure :
would be constructive; once enrolling in
Landmark, those who have had it would
be aware of what lies ahead for them
after graduation.
College should prepare students for
the work force, not isolate them from the
reality of it. It would be wise for stu­dents,
such as dyslexics, to receive their
degrees for higher learning in institu­tions
where they can readily share their
company with those who are like and
unlike them.
We're all in this world together; there­fore,
we should learn to work together,
not be separated.

To march and drill,
band adds life to fall
Almost every time I meet someone
new, on or off campus, we usually end up
talking about Auburn and they almost
always ask me if I am in a sorority.
"No," I always say, with a slight
scowl, "I'm in the band."
"Oh, that must be lots of fun," people
say outwardly, but their expressions
usually have that "this person's brain
has been baked from too many hours of
marching in the sun" look.
I guess it is hard to understand why
anyone would want to spend a week and
a half of summer break getting a
farmer's tan only to end up sitting in the
stands on Saturdays sweating in a wool
uniform and abstaining from alcohol.
. It just a sort of virus that we catch
while we are in grade school and it takes
some of us longer to get over than others.
Some quit the band when they decide
cheerleading or playing football would
be more glamorous.
.. Some people discover standing in line
to go to the restroom or get a hotdog is
more to their liking and get out of the
-band after high school.
But some of us can't stand the thought
of going into a game as just a fan. We get
a special thrill every time we see a band
go on the field. It's like a little voice
inside saying "I've got to march."
Besides, how do regular people decide
what to wear?
A lot of times this summer when we
were waking the Betas and Pi Raps up
every morning at 7:30 a.m. and not let­ting
them rest until sunset, I started to
wonder if I wasn't finally getting too old
for the band.
So what if I get to stand on the 50
yardline in front 75,000 people. In a
band uniform, no one can see that I am a
girl, let alone which girl I am. Besides,
we had practice on Sunday. Even God
took the seventh day off. I temporarily
lost that special "I gotta march" feeling.
I got it back last Saturday in Knox-ville,
Tenn.
After the game when we were getting
ready to play through our half-time
music like we always do, the band was
literally attacked by vol fans. Dr. Vin­son
finally told us to forget it and to sit
down to wait out some of the mob.
I remember one vol fan in particular
who must have been going through a
midlife crisis or something. He had to
have had some excuse for the way he
was acting.
He had gray hair, a red face and a beer
belly. He was making gestures and
shouting obscenities that would have
made any freshman on his first big
drunk away from Mama proud.
I think he was getting his biggest kick
out of laughing at the saxophone player
who was hit in the head when a goal post
was thrown up at us.
When the mob calmed down a little, we
stood up and played the Alma Mater
before we left the stadium.
The music gave me chills. It was
almost like standing up and shouting,
"We love you, Auburn. We don't care if
the football team lost and we won't let
Tennessee intimidate us."
The red-faced man turned around and
walked away.
Record ratings shouldn't
suppress citizen's freedoms
If the '60s was the generation of the
individualist and the '70s was a time of
confusion and apathy, the '80s will
surely go down as an age when the
American public made a move toward
the return to traditional values.
t. Coming in the midst of this develop­ment-
is a movement by a group of
Washington women to establish a
records rating system meant to give par­ents
more control over what their child­ren
are listening to and being influenced
by.
The. women, who call themselves the
Parents Music Resource Center, want
the nj:U8ic industry to voluntarily pro­vide
irecords, tapes and videos with
standardized ratings.
i As in the movie industry, songs con­taining
explicit or profane lyrics would
receive an "X" rating. Songs deemed
excessively violent would be labeleld
"V", isongs with lyrics dealing with
drugs or alcohol would carry a "D/A"
and sbngs delving into the occult would
receive an "0" rating.
The women also asked that the songs
lyricsbe provided so that they can effec­tively
screen any potentially hazardous
tune..;r
To get their movement going, the
PMRC. has scome up with a list they call
"The Filthy Fifteen" which includes, not
too unexpectedly, Prince's "Darling
Nikki?, Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls"
and songs by Vanity, AC/DC and Judas
Priest
The women were keen in picking up
the mfeanings in Cyndi Lauper's "She
Bop"'find Madonna's "Dress You Up",
but both songs earned spots on the
PMRClist. By doing so, both songs have
been'^abled profane and sexually
explicit, a label that will stick forever.
Musisian Frank Zappa made an inter­esting
comment when he addressed a
Congressional hearing recently. Zappa
questioned whether the next step in the
record ratings movement would be put­ting
a yellow "J" on albums by Jewish
artists to prevent children from being
contaminated by Zionist doctrine.
Although PMRC leaders say the
group is not into censorship, by defini­tion
a censor is one who supervises con­duct
and morals.
There is nothing wrong with parents
having control over what their young
children listen to and the return to a
more morally conscience America is a
welcome one. The only problem will
come when the attempt to tag defini­tions
on something as varied as song
lyrics is made. Who will determine
exactly what sexually explicit means?
Who will set the limit on how violent is
too violent? Who will decide when a
record starts to deal with the occult?
These are questions that won't be ans­wered
easily.
Zappa's example may seem far­fetched
but we've seen worse in this
country before. If the point can be
stretched even further, what could pre­vent
the eventual formation of a group of
despotic demigods wielding unlimited
power over American conciousness?

newspaper of Auburn University.
The Plainsman is produced entirely by
students, and printing is done by The
Auburn Bulletin. The Plainsman is
funded by advertising revenue and
subscriptions. Office space in the
basement of the west side of the Foy
Union Building is donated by the
University.
The. editor and business manager

'interested in working for The
Aubur-n Plainsman are welcome to
apply, and experience is not necessary.
Staff meetings are held at 4 p.m. each
Thursday.
The Plainsman invites opinions to
be expressed in letters to the editor. As
many letters as possible will be
printed. Letters to the editor must be
typed, double-spaced and turned into
The Plainsman office in a sealed enve­lope
before 5 p.m. Monday. Those of
more than 300 words are subject to cut­ting
without notice, and the editor
reserves the right to make any copy
conform to the rules of newspaper
style.
All letters must be presented with a
valid ID card. Unsigned letters will be
accepted for publication only under
special circumstances.
Reader criticizes broadcasts, defends poll
Editor, The Plainsman:
As a student involved with both
WEGL and the petition to change
WEGL's format, I must take issue with
Mr. Cherniak's Aug. 22 column (Mean­ing
of 'Rock').
Mr. Cherniak states that "radio of
today is dominated by heavy metal
groups with various acts that are gener­ally
out to please the public and make a
quick buck in the process."
Heavy metal has very little airplay in
actuality with 2 or 3 groups getting a lot
of recognition while the rest of the genre
is passed over. Many forms of music
suffer from this problem. Most bands, of
any style of music are out to please the
public. The public pays their salary, so
why shouldn't they be pleased? I sup­pose
making a slow buck is preferable to
making a fast one? The various African
Aid shows would never have come into
existence if the performers involved
weren't already wealthy enough to'
donate their talents.
I, along with Mr. Cherniak am "sure
that the musicians whose records are
played on WEGL appreciate that their
individuality is being expressed on the
airwaves."
But what about all the other unknown
bands representing other types of
music? I'm equally sure they would
appreciate the opportunity to express
their individuality. As a WEGL spe­cialty
show co-host in closer contact
with various record labels, large and
small, I know they appreciate our
attempts to showcase new music. How­ever,
being confined to two hours a week
severely limits the progress we can make
in this area.
From Mr. Cherniak's column, "if a lis­tener
finds the music on WEGL not to
his liking, he has the freedom to change
the dial." Now, from the Tiger Cub,
WEGL "is almost entirely funded by
student activity fees." If the listener is a
student, he or she may feel, to say the
least, irritated, at having to fund a radio
station that he or she can't even have the
pleasure of listening to.
Mr. Cherniak then accuses those
associated with the petition of not being
able to pinpoint the type of music they
would like to hear on WEGL and "trying
to deny the musical rights of others." As
Mr. Cherniak says in his article, the
term "rock" is commonly used to de­scribe
almost any form of music not
already pigeonholed into another cate­gory.
Since every student has his own
definition of "rock" and all students are
stockholders, so to speak, in the radio
station, everyones definition should be
found on WEGL in proportionate
amounts.
I wouldn't inflict my musical tastes on
anyone the way WEGL does with 140
hours airtime a week and an approxi­mate
ratio of 100-105 hours "progres-.
sive" music verses 35-40 hours of every­thing
else (heavy metal, oldies, jazz,
bluegrass, Christian, etc.) appearing
slightly unbalanced.
All the petition ever asked for was a
more representative format. The refusal
to respect this request by the so-called
"progressive" audience and the radio
station is anything but progressive.
Rather it seems somewhat childish
and very selfish. But if the student body
won't stand up for itself, it deserves to be
subjected to the whims of others.

Media's cries hollow against apartheid policy
Editor, The Plainsman:
In recent weeks there has been a great
deal of pressure applied by our nation's
media to impose economic sanctions
against the nation of South Africa
because of its policy of apartheid. Unfor­tunately,
the media's cries of social
injustice are hollow. If it is serious, it can
find true atrocities perpetrated by
governments in other parts of the world,
such as the Soviet Union, Ethiopia,
Vietnam, Cuba, and yes, our very own.
The cries of apartheid are little more
than a smokescreen to cover up the
communist aggression in South Africa.
What we see in South Africa today is
the implementation of the classical
communist technique for destabiliza-tion
which was used so successfully in
Rhodesia.
In Rhodesia the government was pub­licly
blasted by the media for its policy of
apartheid while communist front groups
terrorized the countryside and gener­ated
social turmoil. Eventually eco­nomic
pressure was applied by the West,
putting thousands of blacks out of work
and further fueling the fires of social
unrest. Finally, the anti-communist
government of Rhodesia was over­thrown
by the Marxist terrorists, and
thousands of blacks and whites, who
opposed the new regime, were murdered.
As we can now see in Zimbabwe, apar­theid
was just a battle cry for the com­munist
take over. The standard of living
for the blacks there has plummeted, and
the political freedoms they were search­ing
for have been dashed by their new
masters.
Many of the blacks in South Africa
realize the dangers that disinvestment
would bring and are speaking out, but it
appears that their cries are falling on
deaf ears.
Earlier in the year, several thousand
members and supporters of the million
member black political organization,
Inkatha, demonstrated in Durban at the
home of Harry Geisel, the U.S. counsul
general. They presented him with a peti­tion
signed by 10,000 blacks protesting
against disinvestment.
The petition said, "disinvestment will
further the politics of violence and dam­age
the politics of reason. Existing black
poverty will be greatly increased if effec­tive
disinvestment campaigns deepen
already very problematic unemploy­ment
levels. Disinvestment is most
vehemently called for by those who
favor the employment of violence to
bring about change."
It appears that many of South Africa's
blacks have done their homework and
see the dangers of the communist
movement in Africa. I wonder when the
American people will pull their heads
out of the sand and do the same.

Student upset about GPA change
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is directed to all engineer­ing
school students who have been
adversely affected by the recently
enforced "2.00 GPA-in-major-courses"
graduation requirement.
During the break I received notifica­tion
that, in effect, I would not be
allowed to complete my remaining engi­neering
courses required for graduation.
If the new 2.00 GPA rule had not been
instituted I could have graduated this
quarter. I lack only 7 hours of engineer­ing
courses.
To put it mildly, I am quite concerned.
After casual, informal conversations
with engineering school officials and
other University officials, I am begin­ning
an official, written appeals process.
I hope that this will result in a reason­able
and equitable solution to the situ­ation.
If it does not I will not hesitate to
consider other avenues of appeal.
If you are a student who may be in a
similar situation I wanted to call your
attention to my plight and beginning
fight. The results could affect your
career. If you would like to contact me,
please feel free to do so. I would like to
hear your thoughts on the subject.

Stadium expansion begins with compromises
By Mike Mahaffey
News Staff
After months of delay, the
addition of 10,000 seats to
Jordan-Hare Stadium will once
again get underway, said Rhett
Riley, vice president of business
and finance.
This will be the fifth expan­sion,
the most recent one being
completed four years ago, to the
stadium that was orginally built
in 1939.
Funding for the expansion will
come from ticket sales, contribu­tions
to the athletic department
and income from the 70 private
suites to be located in the upper
deck, said OvalJaynes, assistant
athletic director.
"Advertising for bids will begin
on Oct. 20, and will be opened on
Nov. 19, said Riley. The award
will be granted on Dec. 2 and con­struction
is scheduled to begin
after this football season and will
be completed by July 1,1987.
"The maximum amount that
will be spent on the stadium
expansion is still set at the orgi-nal
$15 million," said Riley.
Several concessions were made
to cut costs. A major change is
that construction will be spread
over a 21 month period rather
than 13 months.
Other changes designed to cut
costs include a decrease in the
amount of landscaping and the
elimination of escalators.
Riley said he feels these con­cessions
will be enough to meet
the $15 million budget.
Approximately 70 executive
suites are to be built in the
expanded stadium.
"Each seat in a suite will sell for
$2,000."
Provided with the suite is an
elevator service, catered food, air
conditioning and heat, closed cir­cuit
television and an extra tele­vision
outlet for viewing of other
games.
"Of the 70 suites available only
28 still remain open for leasing,"
Smith said. "Priority was given
to scholarship donors and con­tributors,
but it is no w open to the
public," Smith added.
In order to secure the bonds for'
construction, the Board of Trus­tees
pledged an $8 athletic fee
that is taken out of tuition each
quarter. Riley said, "These funds
will be used only if an emergency
occurs."
When asked if the Board plans
to increase the amount of fees
given by the students to the
athletic department, Riley said
he would be "strongly opposed to
the idea."

Tichenor electrical fire cancels early classes
By Frank N. Ware
News Staff
An electrical fire in Tich­enor
Hall caused an evacuation
early Friday morning and the
resulting power outage forced the
cancellation of 8 a.m. classes in
Tichenor and several other
buildings.
The fire started when an
Auburn University Physical
Plant workman buried the metal
head of his pick in the 12,000-volt
power cable leading into the
transformer room underneath
the entrance stairs in the front of
Tichenor Hall, Auburn Fire Chief
Ellis Mitchell said.
The worker, apparently pro­tected
by the insulating effect of
the wooden pick handle, was able
to walk away, but was taken to
the hospital for observation as a

CATCHING THEIR BREATH
Towles rests after suffering from an electrical shock
precaution, Mitchell said.
The worker, Charles Towles,
was treated and released Friday
at the emergency room of East
Alabama Medical Center,
according to hospital spokesman
Lucy Pennington.
The fire, accompanied by three
explosions heard by some as far
away as the third floor of Haley
Center, was confined to burning
insulation on the three-phase
cable leading to the building's
step-down transformer, Mitchell
said.
Susan Hampton, finance and
accounting department secre­tary,
reported the fire at 8:06 a.m.
using the 2121 emergency
number. She and the department
head, Dr. Bob Rogow, heard the
explosions and saw smoke com­ing
from underneath the stair­well
when they looked out their
window on the second floor of
Tichenor.
At 7:58 a.m., there was an
explosion followed by a brief
power outage. A few minutes
later, another explosion and
power outage occurred, followed
by another explosion and a final
power outage at 8:05 a.m.
Evacuation of the building was
orderly and was completed by
8:08 a.m. when the Auburn Fire
Department arrived. Rogow
estimates that 200-300 people
were inside Tichenor when the
fire started.
The building was checked for
smoke or fumes and a generator
pumped smoke out of the trans­former
room. Mitchell allowed
staff and students to re-enter
shortly before 9 a.m. and classes
were resumed.

Two killed in local plane crash
From staff and press reports
A Lear jet and an ultralight
plane collided at the Auburn
University Robert G. Pitts Air­port,
killing two people and injur­ing
five others.
The crash occurred Sept. 23
leaving pieces of both planes
scattered across the runway and
the Lear jet upside down.
"The pilot of the ultralight
plane was killed and one person
in the jet was killed," said Herb
White a University spokesman.
He said the jet was owned by
Louisiana-Pacific Corp. of Con-roe
Texas.
The operator of the ultralight
was dead on the scene and was
identified as Bennie Jerome Tid-well
of Auburn. The co-pilot of the
jet, James Darrell Andre of
Hitchcock, Texas was also dead
at the scene.
Four of the five jet passengers,
Mary Ashley Paul, Ronald Paul,
Yvonne Hayes and pilot Jimmy
Johnson, were admitted to East
Alabama Medical Center.
A witness to the 12:40 crash
said that the ultralight "disinte­grated"
when it collided with the
jet over the runway.

was on the sidewalk between
Tichenor and Thach Halls, saw
the explosions from less than 100
feet away and said flames four to
five feet high accompanied each
explosion.
The Auburn Fire Department
responded with four trucks and
ten firefighters, two of whom
entered the smoke-filled trans­former
room wearing oxygen
masks and quickly brought the
fire under control.
Feedback from the electrical
short through the switchbox
located on the concourse between
Tichenor and Thatch Halls
caused the power outages which
occurred simultaneously in sev­eral
other buildings.
K.S. Drake Jr., acting director
the the AU Physical Plant, said
the power substation feeding
their switchbox sensed the short
and automatically cut power to
the box.
Buildings affected in addition
to Tichenor included Thach
Hall, Broun Hall, Haley Center,
Textile Engineering and Clanton
House. Power was restored to all
buildings except Tichenor Hall
by 8:55 a.m.
Drake said the workman was
digging up the cable in prepara­tion
for removal of Tichenor's
transformer over the weekend.
Installation of a new transformer
was necessitated by the addition
to Tichenor Hall currently under
construction which will increase
the power load and requires
installation of a larger trans­former,
he said.
The transformer replacement
is part of a larger and continuing
program to upgrade the electrical
facilities throughout the Univer­sity,
Drake said. In most cases
the 12,000-volt line which the
workman hit would have been
shielded by a thick cement
encasement warning anyone
digging that the cable was close,
Drake said.
Both Mitchell and Drake
refused to speculate on the cause
of the three loud explosions
which accompanied the fire. A
local retired electrician said the
shorting to ground of a 12,000 -
volt line could cause a loud bang
due to the expansion of air in the
path of the electrical discharge to
ground. This is a similar but
lesser version of the thunder
which follows a lightning flash,
he said.
Electricity was restored and
classes were operating as usual
in Tichenor Hall on Monday.

McConnell named defendant in book lawsuit
By Lee Ann Landers
Assistant News Editor
After charging his former
employer with "unfair business
practices," Roger McConnell is
being sued by Southwestern Pub­lishing
Company for $600,000,
according to a civil-action com­plaint
filed in the Lee County
Circuit Court.
Although the trial began last
week and testimony was taken
for two days, a ruling will not be
made at least until December
because of a full court docket. The
t r i a l was postponed until
December 23.
According to the complaint,
McConnell broke his contract
with the company by interfering
with Southwestern's business
relationships.
The complaint states that
McConnell used false or mislead­ing
material to induce student
managers to break their con­tracts
and discourage other stu­dents
from seeking employment
with the Nashville based
company.
The complaint also charges
McConnell with misusing the
company's trade secrets and con­fidential
material.
During the first few months of
1985 and the latter part of 1984,
McConnell, a former Southwest­ern
sales manager for about
seven years, said he resigned
from the company in October
1984, because it was "using
unfair business practices."
In a Plainsman interview on
Feb. 7, McConnell, who also
worked six summers for the com­pany
while in college, said some
students had experienced prob­lems
with the company such as
profits being held at summer's
end for various reasons.
However, McConnell said his
main complaint with Southwest­ern
came during the summer of
1984. At the beginning of the
summer, McConnell said, stu­dents
were offered a $30 family
Bible to sell door to door for $60,
but later in the summer Southw­estern
sold 40,000 of the same
Bibles to retail stores.
According to McConnell, the
Bibles sold for $18.95 in the
stores.
Because the books sold for
approximately one-third the
price in stores, McConnell said,
many of the students' customers
asked for refunds.
"I can understand the com­pany's
selling the Bibles because
they were overstocked," said
McConnell. "I just question their
timing in this move."
But during the trial, attorneys
for Southwestern said the com­pany's
business practices were
not on trial, and none of the
McConnell's charges have been
proven.
However, in testimony given at
the trial last Wednesday, two
witnesses for the defendant,
David Morrow and Mike Cos-tello,
both former summer
employees for the publishing
company, said, McConnell did
not ask them to leave South­western.
According to Southwestern's
attorneys, both Morrow and Cos-tello
are now working for
McConnell's New American
Marketing Company.
But both men testified that
they applied for the job and that

McConnell did not seek them out.
In testimony, Morrow said he
left the company because "I
trusted Roger (McConnell) and I
didn't like some of the tactics
Southwestern used."
Morrow also testified that he
saw the family Bibles in a book­store
priced at approximately
$19.
Although McConnell claims
his allegations about the com­pany
are true, Jerry W. Heflin,
president of Southwestern, testi­fied
that McConnell's perfor­mance
with the company had
declined in 1983 and 1984.
"We had a number of problems
with Roger's behavior, failure to
attend meetings and things he'd
say in public concerning the
company." Heflin also said
McConnell had not cleared his
expense account with the com­pany,
approximately $30,000, in
1983.
When McConnell did not clear
his account with Southwestern
by an agreed date, and after sev­eral
"chances", Heflin said it
became necessary to garnish
McConnell's paychecks.
Heflin said he decided to ask
McConnell to resign because "his
heart wasn't in the business. I
suggested that he ought to do
something else."
FLAG
so many good comments about
the flag that it decided to leave
the flag up.
"Besides it being the American
flag, we had two minor reasons
for the flag being up; we used it
for the band party and it is one of
our rush themes for international
this year.
"I see no reason why we can't
display the American flag no
matter what size it is," Baucom
added.
Martin's ruling to ban over­sized
flags followed a controv­ersy
in February between the
Black Student Action Committee
(BSAC) and the KA's display of a
Confederate flag from its frater­nity
house and the Old South
continued from A-l
, Celebration held in March.
While members of BSAC said
displaying the Confederate flag
and the Old South Celebration
were disrespectful to blacks,
members of the KA fraternity
held that "Old South Day" was a
day to celebrate and honor the
virtues of the Southern gentle­man
and Southern hosmtality.
"The next day in his office,"
Heflin said, "he began telling
people he was leaving the com­pany.
And he told me' If I have to
leave, I'm going to destroy my
organization.'"
Because the trial.was post­poned
and a decision in the case
has not been reached, attorneys
for both the plaintiff and the
defense did not wish to comment
outside court proceedings.

Auburn embarrassed by Vols
By Jeff Stumb
Sports Editor
Call it Air Robinson. Call it
the Tony Robinson Air Show. Or
call it a nightmare.
The Auburn Tigers, the No. 1
ranked team in the country, were
defeated soundly in Knoxville in
front of 94,358 fans.
The score was 38-20, but it
could have been worse.-The game
took its toll on some Auburn
players and the Auburn fans.
It was the second game for
Auburn to play as the top ranked
team in the nation, last year
Auburn's rein as the best lasted
only one game.
Iowa became the new No. 1
team this week, and the third of
the short season. Oklahoma
dropped from the top spot even
before playing a game.
The loss was also the second
straight SEC game the Tigers
have dropped going back to last
December's loss to Alabama.
It was also the fifth straight
loss to opponents on astro-turf.
Coach Pat Dye said he does not
use excuses like astro-turf when
his team loses.
Mistakes hurt Auburn. Too
many penalties, 10, fumbles, two
lost out of five, and interceptions,
three.
"There is no question that we
played a talented and ready Ten­nessee
football team," Dye said.
"Obviously, the game meant a
great deal to them. If you look at
the game you could say that we
were flat or not emotional or
whatever.
"That might have been part of
the problem, but I think Tennes­see
had a lot to do with it."
Bo Jackson went out of the
game in the third quarter with a
bruised knee. He injured it in the
second quarter, but it did not
bother him until after halftime
when the muscle tightened
because he went so long in the
locker room without moving it.
"I went to the doctor Sunday,"
Jackson said. "But there was no
ligament damage. It was just a
strained muscle."
Dye said he was not pleased
with the mistakes in the second
half. "I'm not saying that we
could have beat Tennessee — I
don't know if we could have, but
we could have played a little bet­ter
offensively."
Dye called the loss "a very dis­appointing
and bitter loss for
Auburn and a great victory for
Tennessee."
Jackson said that the Tigers
realize they are not out of the SEC
picture just yet. "Our backs are
against the wall," Jackson said.
"We'll lay everything on the line.
The SEC champion may have
one or two losses."
Auburn did score 20 points in
the fourth quarter, but it was
down 24-0 to start the final
period.
Punter Lewis Colbert has been
a bright spot this season, leading
the nation in punting with more
than a 48-yard average.
Auburn's most inconsistent
position seems to be at quarter­back
right now despite three tal­ented
players in Bobby Walden,
Jeff Burger and Pat Washington.
All three saw playing time in
Knoxville, but none could get the
team moving.
However, late in the game
Walden did direct all three of
Auburn's touchdown drives.
Dye said that Saturday against
Ole Miss he will try to play one
quarterback the entire game. But
he also said that he will probably
not make the decision until just
before the game.
Kickoff for the Auburn-Ole
Miss game has been moved to
6:30 p.m. and it will be televised
nation-wide on ESPN.
'We're No. 1?'
Dye looks to staff in disbelief
ELUSIVE VOLUNTEER
Auburn's Gerald Williams (98) finds Tennessee quarterback Tony Robinson tough man to catch
Rebels look to pounce on wounded Tigers
By Chuck Cole
Assistant Sports Editor
The Ole Miss Rebels bring a 2-1-1 record to
Auburn Saturday for their first SEC contest of the
1985 season. If given his choice, Rebel Coach Billy
Brewer would probably prefer not to face the Tigers
this week, as last week's embarrassment at Tenne­ssee
should be a motivating factor for Auburn.
The Ole Miss program has shown signs of resur­gence
under third year head coach Billy Brewer.
The Rebels started the year slowly, tying Memphis
State. They bounced back after that game, losing to
nationally ranked Arkansas by a narrow margin.
Victories have come in the last two games over
Arkansas State and Tulane.
Ole Miss relies heavily on senior quarterback
Kent Austin (6-2, 185). Austin has completed an
impressive 63 percent of his passes for 819 yards
this year. He will be called on to throw the ball often,
as Ole Miss ranks last in the SEC in rushing
offense.
Austin has been hampered by knee problems this
year, but is expected to play Saturday. Backup
sophomore David McKinney has performed well in
limited playing time. He started his first game
against Tulane.
Nathan Wonsley leads the rushing attack. Wons-ley
ran for 144 yards in last week's 27-10 win over
Tulane.
The Mississippi defense is a youthful but impres­sive
outfit. The Rebel pass defense ranks at the top
of the SEC.
Defensive tackle Mike Fitzsimmons has deve­loped
into a premier lineman as a junior. Jonathan
Shelley, a 6-0, 178 pound junior, blocked two punts
against Arkansas State and returned a blocked
punt for a touchdown in the Tulane game.
Auburn escaped last year with a 17-13 win at
Oxford. The Tigers lead the series 8-5, including a
six game winning streak dating back to a 35-28 win
in the 1971 Gator Bowl.
Kickoff is at 6:45 p.m. Saturday at Jordan-Hare
Stadium. The game will be televised nationally by
ESPN. Old moves over for new
Mc Car thy lands awaited head coaching position
By Chris Roush
Assistant Sports Editor
Mack McCarthy, an assistant
basketball coach at Auburn for
the past seven years, has left
Sonny Smith's staff to become
the head basketball coach at The
U n i v e r s i t y of Tennessee-
Chattanooga.
McCarthy had been rumored
as a possible replacement for
Smith when the head coach was
planning to resign at the end of
last year. But with the success of
the Auburn program in the SEC
Tournament, NCAA action and
Smith deciding to return,
McCarthy began to look else­where.
While at Auburn he played a
major role in game preparation
by scouting Auburn's opponents.
McCarthy also coordinated in the
defensive schemes and helped in
recruiting while at Auburn.
McCarthy had also been an
assistant coach under Smith at
East Tennessee State from 1976 to
1978. He first became associated
with the Auburn coach while

Enthusiastic Nidiffer replaces McCarthy, expects carry over of success from football
By Chuck Cole
Assistant Sports Editor
Newly appointed assistant basketball coach Jay
Nidiffer must feel like a kid at Christmas who
expects a three speed, but gets a ten speed bicycle
instead.
Nidiffer had planned to be assuming his duties
for a new job at Augusta College at the beginning of
September. One call from Sonny Smith gave his
career a new direction.
Former assistant Mack McCarthy accepted the
head coaching job at the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga, which left an opening on the Auburn
staff. Smith didn't hesitate to call Nidiffer, a gutsy
little motivator who spent much of the 1970's at
Georgia Tech as Dwane Morrison's associate head
coach.
Nidiffer is currently involved in recruiting, but
his coaching expertise will surely be utilized.
"Coaching and recruiting go hand in hand," he said
while relaxing in his apartment at Sewell Hall.
"The trick is to put both of them together."
Auburn's style of play will contrast with that of
Nidiffer's teams at Tech, where he had to deal with
what was at that time a weak athletic department.
"We have different people here, better athletes. It
will be a quicker-paced game," said Nidiffer.
Questions have been raised before concerning
Auburn's desire to have a nationally prominent
basketball program in this football starved com­munity.
Can the two exist together? Nidiffer
believes so.
"Winners breed winners. There is a carryover
value from the football program to the basketball
program," he said. "The football people have been
great. Everybody wants everybody to succeed."
See NEW, page B-10
Despite loss to Vols,
Tiger fans should learn
to appreciate Auburn
At least the Auburn band looked good Saturday
in Knoxville. They have new uniforms.
I went to Knoxville. I still don't know what
happened.
I knew that Tennessee could beat Auburn, but I
didn't think it would happen.
We haven't played well on ABC televison lately,
but I don't think that was it.
It was like being punished for something you
didn't do having to watch the football team you
know and respect, the one that represents the scbool
you love, get drilled.
At least being in Knoxville meant I didn't have to
watch the replays on TV.
I don't know what the problem was, I keep
remembering in 1983 when Auburn should have
been No. 1, it didn't get it. But now no one wants to
be No. 1, at least not until the end of the season.
Better times must be ahead, they have to be.
Auburn lost to Texas in 1983 in the second game of
the year and then won the 10 straight. That same
year Miami lost to Florida in the season opener and
then won 11 straight.
Conference loss hurts Tigers
It's not impossible, but some things will have to
change. What really hurt was that Tennessee was a
conference game. The loser of the Auburn
Tennessee game has never won the conference. But
there is always a first time for everything.
The best thing to come out of the trip was that I
realized when I got back to Auburn how much I
appreciate Auburn's campus and the football fans,
something most people forget about until they go to
Knoxville or Gainaville.
After seeing what the Tennessee fans did to the
Auburn band after the game and then listening to
them after the game, I could not wait to get back to
Auburn.
One guy told me Saturday night that Tony
Robinson was better than Robbie Bosco of B YU and
that Robinson was going to win the Heisman
Trophy.
Another Vol fan told me that if Auburn played a
tougher schedule every year like Tennessee did, it
would have been ready for the Vols. Where was this
guy in 1983-84 when we played Texas and Miami
and the Vols played Utah and Duke.
Auburn sent to Nashville?
Maybe we should have sent the Auburn team to
Nashville to play Vanderbilt and sent the Alabama
team to Knoxville, then everyone would have been
happy.
I could have gone to see Johnny Cash at the
Grand Ole Opery, instead of watching Tennessee
fans hit an orange and blue car with a sledge
hammer in front of a local bar; and Alabama could
have seen how good it really is by playing Tennes­see.
Bama hasn't beaten the Vols in three years.
And the goal post came down
Tennessee fans have torn down the goal post at
least once in three of the last four years. Vol fans
used to not tear down the post when they beat
Auburn, but they do now. That shows that Auburn
is a national powerhouse.
Auburn fans can learn a lot about tearing goal

Kickoff: 6:30 p.m. in Jordan-Hare Stadium
This year's records: Auburn 2-1,
Ole Miss 2-1-1
Last meeting: 1984-Auburn won 17-13
Auburn for the second straight year loses its No. 1
ranking after being manhandled by Tennessee. The
Tigers will try to regroup after the Knoxville mas­sacre
and win their first SEC game of 1985.
The Ole Miss Rebels are not off to a blazing start,
but they have won two in a row with victories over
Arkansas State and Tulane. The Rebs opened with
a tie with Memphis State and a loss to a good
Arkansas team.
When Auburn Has The Ball
After last Saturday the Tigers proved you can't
have a No. 1 team without a No. 1 quarterback.
Auburn completed only 10 passes out of 28 attempts
for 100 yards last Saturday, including three
interceptions.
The heralded Dye-I yielded five turnovers that
proved disastrous against the Volunteers. After
averaging 7.8 yards per carry in the two previous
games, the offense managed only 4.7 yards at Ney-land
Stadium. <

vs.
Heisman Trophy candidate Bo Jackson was held
to 80 yards on 17 attempts, although he still has 575
yards in three games. Backup Brent Fullwood is the
second leading rusher with 293 yards on 33 carries
for a 9.8 yard average.
The Auburn passing attack must improve to keep
opponents from keying on its running game. Tiger
quarterbacks have completed only 25 of 60 passes
for 348 yards in three games.
The Rebels will come to Jordan-Hare with its "50"
defense which held Auburn to 17 points and 214
yards rushing last year.
When Ole Miss Has The Ball
After averaging 44 yards rushing in three games,
Nathan Wonsley rambled to 144 to lift Bill Brewer's
Rebels to a 27-10 victory over Tulane.
The Auburn defense will be glad to know that Ole
Miss doesn't have an air attack like Tennessee's
AUBURN
Robinson and McGee, but they do have quarterback
Kent Austin who has more than 800 yards passing
in four games. However, he suffered a knee injury
and is questionable for Saturday's game.
David McKinney could get the starting nod even
though he has little game experience. He has com­pleted
11 of 20 passes for 126 yards.
J.R. Ambrose leads the team in receiving with 354
yards. The Rebels may be able to take advantage of
Auburn's riddled secondary. Ambrose is also ques­tionable
for Saturday's game.
The Rebels haven't had much of a running game
this year averaging only 2.7 yards per carry and
may not improve much against Auburn's strong
defensive front.
Key Matchups
The key to success for Auburn appears to be the
emergence of a top quarterback which has yet to
happen. If the Tiger offense can stay away from
turnovers, they could probably outscore anybody.
Even against Tennessee, Auburn scored 20 points in
the fourth quarter.
For Ole Miss to stay in a scoring battle with the
Tigers will depend on whether Austin is ready for
Saturday's showdown. If he is, it may be another
long, long day for the Auburn secondary.

Robinson, Vols batter Tiger defense
By Chris Linville
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn defensive unit, in
what most considered to be its
first real test of the 1985 season,
endured a long afternoon against
the explosive offense of the
Tennessee Volunteers in a 38-20
loss.
The 38 points surrendered by
the Tiger defense was the second
highest since coach Pat Dye
arrived in Auburn in 1981.
Nebraska in 1982 and Florida
State last year both scored 41
points against Auburn.
Tennessee amassed 479 yards
of total offense, with 259 coming
through the air and 220 on the
ground.
Auburn knew that Vol quar­terback,
Tony Robinson would
present a major challenge to the
defense, and he lived up to expec­tations.
Robinson completed 17
of 30 pass attempts for 259 yards
and four touchdowns.
Dye was impressed with the
Vol offense
"I give their offensive team a
lot of credit," he said. "They have
some great wide receivers and
their offensive line protected
Robinson good enough for him to
do what he wanted to do."
Robinson's all-around ability
kept the Tiger defense on its toes
all afternoon. In addition to his
passing heroics, he was consis­tently
able to scramble away
from the Tiger rush and pick up
Thomas Hallman
yardage running the ball. He
picked up 53 yards on the ground
(minus-20 in sacks) and had a
long run of 39 yards.
Robinson's talent impressed
Dye also.
"He (Robinson) did a lot of
things to hurt us," he said. "He
threw one touchdown when
somebody had hold of him and
then he would pull the ball down
and make a couple of big plays
scrambling. His touch on
throwing the ball deep was
phenomenal. Again, I think they
deserve a lot of credit."
Senior noseguard Harold Hall-man
and defensive end Pat Tho­mas
led a third quarter stand by
the Tiger defense labeling the
potent Vols scoreless in the
quarter.
Dye evaluated the defense by
saying, "Defensively, it was a
game where we didn't have many
people perform up to their
expectations."
He did, however, praise several
players on the defense.
"We had a few bright spots
defensively," said Dye. "Tom
Powell was certainly one of them.
He had three interceptions and
just played an outstanding
football game. Aundray Bruce
played well at defensive end and
Gerald Williams made some good
plays at defensive tackle. Overall
defensively, it was a frustrating
day for us."
LETTERS TO THE SPORTS EDITOR
This quarter in The Plainsman readers will have the
opportunity to write letters voicing their opinions or ask
questions about sports which will be printed in the sports
section.
Letters should be typed, double-spaced and brought to
The Plainsman office by Tuesday, 1 p.m.
Sports Editor, The Plainsman
Why does the Auburn Univer­sity
football coaching staff, con­tinue
to recruit outstanding
receivers and passing quarter­backs,
if they insist on running
the ball so often that opposing
teams know what it takes to stop
the Auburn offense? Yes, Auburn
does have an outstanding run­ning
attack. But, when an oppos­ing
defense has shut down this
explosive offense, to the tune of
24-0, at halftime, and the Auburn
head coach tells us the obvious,
that Auburn must pass the ball
more in the second half, to get
back in the game, why does he
play right into the opponents
hands again, and continue to
run, run, run?!
It seems that everyone knows
that when a team is down by 24
points in the second half, it needs
to pass to catch up. That is, eve­ryone
except Auburn. Auburn
fans have seen this before on
national television vs. Texas in
1983, and vs. Nebraska in 1982.
"Yes, the "I" gives the tailback
(Bo Jackson or Brent Fullwood)
more opportunity to be more
effective, but it also gives more
opportunity to pass the ball to
talented receivers like Freddy
Weygand, Trey Gainous and Ron
Middleton, and open up the run­ning
game, so that opposing
defenses, like Tennessee, won't
keep seven and eight players
around the line of scrimmage
making it nearly impossible to
run effectively.

i Housel prevents tragedy
Auburn Sports Information Director David Hou­sel
kept a cool head after the game in Knoxville last
Saturday while thousands of Tennessee fans tore
down the goal post, and his quick thinking might
have saved the life of a young Vol fan.
Doug Hill, 24, of Huntsville was struck on the
head when the goal post came down knocking him
unconscience. "Someone picked him up and ran
past me, but then he put him down in the middle of
the tunnel," Housel said. "I thought he was dead; he
was bleeding out of his ears." Housel knew that any
minute the Auburn team and thousands of Tennes­see
fans would be coming that way and he knew he
had to get help.
But there was no time to get help as a stampeed of
people were heading for the tunnel. "I just stood
over him so that no one would step on him," Housel
said. "I knew he should not be moved." When asked
if he saved Hill's life, Housel said, "If you call that
saving his life (standing over him), then I guess I
did."
Hill was listed in serious condition at the Univer­sity
of Tennessee Hospital.
Auburn 0-2 vs. Donahue
Auburn is 0-2 in its last two SEC games, a 17-15
loss to Alabama 38-20 loss to and last week's 38-20
loss to Tennessee. Ironically, Ken Donahue was the
defensive coordinator at Alabama last year, and he
is the defensive coordinator at Tennessee this year.
» Asmuth breaks Channel record
Former Auburn swimmer Paul Asmuth set the
men's record for swimming the English Channel on
Aug. 29. His time was eight hours and 12 minutes
from England to France across the cold and trea­cherous
21-mile stretch of ocean.
Asmuth is the brother of Auburn men's and
women's swimming coach, John Asmuth.
Trivia
Q:Who was the Auburn quarterback at the end of
the game the last time the Tigers lost to Tennessee?
A:Ken Hobby, a freshman in 1981 when the
Auburn drive ended at the Vol three-yard-line as
time ran out and the Tigers lost 10-7.
Has Auburn gone as far as it can go?
Chuck
COLE
Pat Dye's worst fears were real­ized
Saturday afternoon at
Neyland Stadium. It looks like
the Auburn Tigers may have
fooled the pollsters again. The so
called number one team in the
n a t i o n was smothered by
unranked Tennessee, 38-20.
Auburn proved nothing Satur­day
except that it was apparently
overrated for the second straight
season. Right now the Tigers
might not even be the best team
in their own state.
Tennessee isn't as good as it
played Saturday, and Auburn
isn't as bad. But as in several
important games in the Dye era,
such as last year's defeats to
Miami and Texas, Auburn has
been unable to overcome early
deficits. The players question
their own ability to come from
behind, which compounds their
problems when they find them­selves
in that situation.
For some reason I was under
the impression that along with
the switch to the I-formation
would come a more effective pass­ing
game. Wrong. Not Saturday's
"Dye-I". It looked much like a
wishbone minus a halfback. You
could have called it a tailbone
Saturday, because that is where
the Auburn players spent most of
their time against Tennessee.
It is true that each of the quar­terbacks
looked shaky. But in
order for them to gain confidence,
they must be allowed to play. The'
coaches should pick one quarter­back
and stick with him. Pres­ently
the quarterbacks know they
will be replaced if they make a
mistake, and it contributes to
their tentative play. How many
teams have won a national
championship with rotating
quarterbacks?
Dye and his staff can and
should be questioned about
Saturday's performance. Play
calling could have been more
imaginative. But that was far
from being the deciding factor in
this game.
Tennessee was the more moti­vated
team. The smaller Vols
came out and physically beat
Auburn. They scored at will and
prevented the Tigers from scor­ing
until the outcome had been
decided. Auburn's top national
ranking proved to contribute to
its undoing, just as Dye was
afraid of. That problem may not
come up again for a while.
We can't let one loss against a
good team make us forget that
Dye has proven himself to be one
of the finest coaches in college
football. Few coaches could
have done with this program
what Dye has in such a short
period of time.
However, it must be asked if
Auburn has reached a plateau
brought about by a plague of
conservatism.
Newcomer Lusk brings winning stride to Tigers
Quote
ABC's Frank Broyles on Auburn's passing game:
"If Auburn isn't going to throw the football, then
why don't they run the wishbone?"

Sports Staff
Last year, one of the three big­gest
track recruits in the United
States came to Auburn, accord­ing
to track coach Kelly Sullivan.
This recruit was a National
Junior College Cross Country
All-American in 1983 and 1984.
He was a NJCAA Track All-
American in 1984.
His name is Al Lusk, and in his
first college cross country meet he
finished neck and neck with two
other Auburn runners to split
first place. His time was recorded
as 19:50 for a four mile race.
Lusk transferred to Auburn
from Southwestern Michigan
Junior College. According to Sul-livan,
Lusk was Auburn's
number one recruit last year, but
it is surprising, in a way, that
Lusk is running at all.
Lusk played on the football
team as a wide receiver in high
school, where he also ran track.
After finishing high school, Lusk
went to work in a sporting goods
shop and stopped running. His
fellow employees encouraged
him to start running again, and
he began to run road races.
When Lusk went to Southwest­ern
Michigan, he joined the track
team, and since he's been run­ning,
his record has been very
impressive.
"Al is a team person; he's very
committed and very loyal," said
Sullivan. "I recruited him just as
much for his personality, as for
his running ability," he said. "Al
is very competitive, and he gives
110 percent," said Sullivan.
Lusk picked Auburn Univer­sity
over Wisconsin and LSU
mainly because of Sullivan. The
only thing Lusk really doesn't
like about Auburn is the heat. "It
takes a while to get used to it; It's
really been bothering me," said
Lusk referring to the warm
Auburn temperatures.
The heat, however, has not
affected the Auburn team, which
Lusk says is loaded with poten­tial
talent. "There are so many
good guys," said Lusk, "that
guys are really fighting for a spot
on the team." "It is an experience
just running with these guys,"
said Lusk. "I have to stay with
the guys and just try to hang on,"
he said.
"Who Al's running with will
improve him," said Sullivan.
"They are a tremendous group,"
said Sullivan, referring to the
team.
For now, Lusk's goals are team-oriented.
"I want to help the team
win the SEC and qualify for
nationals," said Lusk. Sullivan

Opportunity knocks again for Washington
By Cary Estes
Sports Staff
Senior quarterback Pat Wash­ington
played only one set of
downs in the Tigers 38-20 loss to
Tennessee last Saturday. He
threw just one pass, which was
incomplete.
It was probably the best thing
that could have happened to him.
While Washington sat on the
bench, Auburn's two other quar­terbacks,
Jeff Burger and Bobby
Walden, combined for ten com­pletions
in 25 passes for 100
yards and only one touchdown.
Walden threw three inter­ceptions.
As a result, the race for start­ing
quarterback is once again
wide open, and Washington, who
started 11 games for Auburn last
season, will quickly admit that he
is glad to have a second chance to
prove himself.
"It feels good to have another
chance at quarterback," Wash­ington
said. "I ain feeling really
excited."
Part of Washington's excite­ment
comes from the extra work
and attention he has received in
practice this week.
"The coaches told me this was
an important week for me," he
said. "I am getting a chance to
practice again. I really hadn't
been practicing much in the
past."
The reason for Washington's
lack of work was that it seemed
certain either Burger or Walden
would be the Tigers starter.
Washington had dropped to third
string, and it appeared he would
stay there.
"It was frustrating to drop from
first (string) to third," he admits,
"but I just never gave up. I never
lost confidence in myself.
"I didn't come in at my best
before the season. I probably put
too much pressure on myself.
Now I am relaxed and loose. I feel
I have got nothing to lose and
everything to gain."
Washington could gain the
starting spot at quarterback
against Ole Miss this Saturday if
he impressed the coaches enough
at practice this week, though he
says it is unlikely.
"It is hard to say. I probably
won't start, but I think I will get
the chance to prove myself."
That is all Washington wants,
a chance to prove himself. It is
something he has not had yet this
season.
Washington has not started
this year, and he has played only
briefly in each of the Tigers first
three games. He has thrown only
eight passes, completing two for
28 yards, with one touchdown
and two interceptions.
There has been speculation
that Head Coach Pat Dye should
have put Washington in the
game against Tennessee when it
became evident that the offense
was stalled.
"During the game I felt like l
needed more of a chance to play. I
always think we can win in a
game no matter what the situa­tion.
But it was a decision by
Coach Dye, and I accept it."
Washington says he is now
ready to attempt to regain the
starting position, and put behind
him his disappointing perfor­mance
during fall practice.
"I was trying to do my best, but
I was not at my best," he
explained. "The quarterback spot
was more competitive than in the
past, and I just wasn't moving
the offense.
"Besides, the other guys are
younger than me. I'm getting
old," he says with a smile."
Washington believes the Tig­ers
can rebound from the defeat
to Tennessee regardless of who is
the quarterback. However, he
also says he believes his expe­rience
would help the team.
"The other guys (Burger and
Walden) are young and inexpe­rienced.
They are going too make
a few mistakes.
"The team needs hard wort
and to play as a unit. The offense
needs to produce more, and I feel
that I can contribute to that." j
Despite all the frustrations of
the season so far, Washington
has kept everything in per­spective.
"It has not been as terrible as
everyone thinks," he says. "I love
football, and I think I am capable
of playing. But it is just a game,
not life." •:
Jaeger, cross country team conquer defeat LSU
By Michael Mow
Sports Staff
Recent performances by the
men's cross country team have
proven to be complimentary of
the reputation they have built
within past years.
Head coach Kelly Sullivan
states that the team is "running
better than a year ago" since "we
had 11 runners this weekend
within a minute and 10 seconds
along with an individual
winner."
The Auburn squad scored a
stunning victory over SEC rival
Louisiana State by scoring only
22 points which in cross country
is only seven points away from a
perfect score of 15 points.
This score was due to three
runners who finished first,
second, and third on the five-mile
hilly course at the University of
Mississippi Golf Course
Auburn's fourth and fifth
runners finished seventh and
ninth respectively.
Brian Jaeger ran a course
record of 24:23 enroute to a first-place
finished followed by fellow
teammates Al Lusk (second,
24:34), Ma*t Parker (third, 24:37),
Bob Sheehan (seventh, 24:51)
and Banks Helfrich.
Because of the support of six
other teammates, Auburn had 11
men in before Louisian State got
then* fifth man across the line.
Steve Reed (twelfth, 25:04), John
Hansen (thirteenth, 25:11), Mark
Hastings (fourteenth, 25:17),
Randy Hudson (fifteenth, 25:18)
and Jack Worthington (eight­eenth,
25:25) highlighted this
marvelous feat.
