Children, spouses and widows
of disabled or deceased Alabama
veterans are now eligible to
receive up to 36 months of free
tuition, instructional fees and
books, according to a new law
passed recently in the legislature.
"There's got to be a world of
young people out there covered by
the new law," said Jean Howard,
University veteran's affairs
coordinator.
Before the amendment to the
Alabama G.I. and Dependent's
Educational Benefit Act, also
known as the Alabama G.I. Bill,
a veteran's disability had to be 40
percent or greater for his depend­ents
to qualify for the benefits.
The amended law requires only a
20 percent or greater rating for all
veterans.
"Only two or three states do
this for these people," Howard
said, citing Georgia and Florida
as states that do not.
The veterans on whom the elig-
, ibility is based must have been a
permanent civilian resident of
Alabama for at least one year
immediately before entering the
service, she said.
Howard said there are many
disabled natives of Alabama who
have moved to other states and
are not aware of the recent '
amendment, but who would reap

By Siona Carpenter
Assistant News Editor , ^ ,"
As business relations between
Alabama firms and companies in
the Far East increase, Auburn
University will serve as a source
of well-prepared graduates in all
areas of business, said George
Emert, executive vice president.
The ability to travel and com­municate
to anyone in the world
has created a world market, said
Emert, who spent the month of.
October representing Auburn in
Japan, China and South Korea.
Auburn's role in world trade
will be aided by the new interna­tional
programs office soon to be
created, said Emert.
The University will be a source
of information for Alabama bus­inessmen
in areas that include
questions of currency, import-export
laws, trade zones and cul­tural
differences, said Emert.
Emert had three roles during
his forty-ninth trip to the Far
vEast, ,.Along J«dth, other Jaa4«£8, •
Emert traveled with Gov. George
C. Wallace on his industry-seeking
trip. He also represented
Auburn at China's Hunan Uni­versity
and participated in a citi­zens
ambassador program.
Because Wallace was able to
make the governmental contacts
necessary to open trade, Emert
said he believes the governor's
trip was "very successful." He
expects Alabama's economy to
profit through investments by
foreign firms in the state and
through enhanced sales of Ala­bama
products.
China, once a prosperous
nation, suffered economically
because it closed its doors to for­eign
trade, Emert said.. China is
now experiencing a confronta­tion
between free enterprise and
socialism, he said.

Hundreds of students will be in
for a shock this week when they
pick up their fee cards, according
to Mark Moreman, manager of
the University Parking and Traf­fic
Services.
The surprise, though, will have
nothing to do with their sche­dules
or tuition.
Instead, they may find out for
the first time that they got a park­ing
ticket this quarter, or that the
ticket they forgot about was not
not forgotten by
the Universtiy
Police.
"There are
more outstanding
parking viola­tions
on file at
the University
Police Depart­ment
than ever
before," said
Moreman.
"It's not neces­sarily
that more
t i c k e t s have
been given," he
said, "but less
are being paid
promptly and
more are being
appealed."
One reason for
this could be the
new policy of not sending notices
to violators for parking tickets as
well as ending the $10 late fee for
paying tickets.
"The only notice a person will
receive will be the ticket itself,"
said Moreman.
"If a violator is unaware of this
new policy, he or she may think
their parking tickets have been
lost in the shuffle. This could be
very costly for someone who
thinks he is 'beating the
system'."
Moreman said that individuals
with outstanding parking viola-lations
will be
put on the Bur­sar's
list and
will be unable to
attend classes,
graduate, or ob­tain
transcripts
if their financial
obligations are
not met.
Moreman said
that students
with outstand­ing
parking vio­lations
at the
end of the quar­ter
can expect to
wait in long,

lines at the Uni­versity

Department be­fore

available for buyers and sellers
alike," said Emert -•>• •
While in China, Wallace signed
a sister state agreement with the
governor of Hubei, a province
slightly larger in area than Ala­bama,
but with a population of 94
million.
Wallace also signed an agree­ment
dealing with the Port of
Mobile, and the businessmen
made connections during their
stay.
In countries of the Far East,
one head of state customarily
goes to another head of state
when a business deal is made,
instead of an individual contract­ing
with another individual,
Emert said.
"The involvement of the gov­ernor
was critical," Emert said of
Wallace, who met with provincial
and national government
officials
"More business involving peo­ple
are opening up in China, and
it has excited the Chinese,"
Emert said. It is also something
that has excited American busi­nesses.
Steady programs in
states like Georgia and Tennes­see
have resulted in booms for
their economies, he said.
Emert, a bio-chemist, also gave
lectures and was involved in
technological exchanges with the
Chinese at the Chinese Academy
as part of People to People, the
citizens ambassador program.
Increasing our understanding
of the Chinese educational sys­tem
was one of Emert's objectives
when he represented Auburn
University at Hunan University.'
Three faculty members from
Hunan are now teaching at
Auburn University, while one
Auburn faculty member, his wife
and his daughter are teaching at
Hunan.
To ease the communication
gap, Emert said he took along a
book of Chinese and learned a bit
of the language. Many of the
Chinese speak English and "by
the time Chinese college students
graduate, they will have had
more English than I had," Emert
said.
-Starting fall quarter 1986,
courses in Chinese and Japanese
will be offered at Auburn, he said.

An exemption to the one year
requirement, however, is granted
to veterans with a 100 percent
service-related permanent dis­ability
rating and who have been
residents of the state for five
years before the date of applica­tion
for the G.I. Bill or before they
died.
Most children of veterans now
have until age 30 to file for benef­its
and until age 39 to to use them.
The old filing-age deadline of 26,
however, applies when the vete­ran
was discharged with less
than 20 percent disability, but
was later granted a 20 percent or
greater rating. Children in this
category have until age 34 to use
their benefits, Howard said.
For further information con­cerning
these benefits or to apply
for them, contact James Crump-ton,
the veteran's service officer
of Lee County, at 749-3901.

Graduation is just around the
corner, and, while many seniors
are busy cramming for the end,
Auburn University Registrar
Tom Stallworth is preparing for
' the Dec. 12 ceremonies.
" Stallworth calls out each of the
graduate's names for the cerem­ony,
and to insure that he doesn't
make any mistakes, he says that
he gets the list early and goes
through each of the names. If he
comes across an unusual name,
he asks around to see if anyone
knows how to pronounce it, and if
no one is sure, Stallworth calls
the person.
"I haven't missed a graduation
since 1968," he said, "and I've
been calling out the names since
becoming registrar in 1973."
This quarter there are approx­imately
789 graduates. Of that
total, 103 are graduate students,
while 686 are undergraduates.
The school with the highest
number of graduates is the Col­lege
of Business with 165. The
second highest is the College of
Engineering with 153.
Graduates from the other
schools are 142 from the School of
Arts and Sciences, 93 from the
College of Education, 50 from the
School of Architecture, 42 from
the College of Agriculture, 29
from the School of Home Eco­nomics,
eight from the School of
Forestry and three from the
School of Pharmacy.
Of the 103 graduate students,
27 are doctorates, 75 are master's
and one is special education.
The ceremony begins at 2:30

Directories to arrive this week
By Kristi Francis
News Staff
The 1985-86 student directories
are expected to be distributed
some time this week, said L.B.
Williams, University Relations
editor of publications.
The books will be free to stu­dents
and all faculty and staff,
members. Ebbert Enterprises, a
company from Jonesboro, Ark.
that prints the directory, gener­ated
revenue for the book by sell­ing
ads to local businesses. "Last
year the directory had 24 pages of
ads plus the ones on the back
cover, the inside front cover and
the inside back cover," Williams
said.
Students can pick up a copy of
the book at the Alpha Phi Omega
Bookstore. The fraternity also
plans to distribute books at Foy
Union desk, in the concourse, and
in Haley Center during drop and
add. Last year the fraternity dis­tributed
about 15,500 books.
"It usually takes one day for
word to get around that the direc­tories
are here. Once the word is
out, the books go pretty fast,"
said Glenn Mizell of Alpha Phi
Omega.
Faculty and staff members can
get their books from their deans
and advisors. One directory will
be allocated per person for office
use, not for home use.
The first sixteen pages of the
directory, consisting of depart­mental
information and SGA
officer listings, are compiled at
Auburn by University Printing.
Williams and his assistant edi­tor,
Kevin Loden, began work on
this section on Aug. 7 by request­ing
updates on departments and
offices. This section was com­pleted
on drop and add, Williams
said.
Faculty and staff listings were
updated after the start of classes,
around Oct. 1. Faculty members
may leave out their home phone
numbers, but they are required to
print their office numbers, Willi­ams
said.
The student section is compiled
from information cards which
students receive during the
summer along with their fall
quarter schedules. Students can
request that their names not
appear in the directory.
This year the names of 14,500
students will appear in the book
out of the 19,056 students
enrolled in Auburn, Williams
said.

Auburn has recently been
added to the areas covered by the
Lee County Humane Society,
where approximately 3,000 dogs
and 1,500 cats were taken during
1984.
The Lee County Humane
Society is responsible for any
complaints and leash law viola­tions
made against an animal
and for any strays brought in
from the Auburn-Opelika area of
Lee County.
Micki Jackson, treasurer and
bookkeeper of the Board of Direc­tors
for the Lee County Humane
Society, said that many Auburn
students are unaware of the strict
leash and license laws providing
for the control of dogs in the city
of Auburn.
According to an ordinance
approved by the Auburn City
Council in 1980, a dog owner
must keep his dog under restraint
at all times.
The ordinance also says that a
dog owner must be licensed with
the city and issued a rabies vac­cination
tag and a city license
tag.
Jackson, also the chairman for
the Shelter Committee which is a
mediator for the shelter1 and the
board, said the majority of anim­als
brought in to the shelter are
strays found in either the yards of;
people that bring them in of on
the side of the road.
She said the Humane Society
can "go a step further for the,
animals than a pound can,"
because the shelter attempts to
find homes or sponsors for the
animals and offers immediate
treatment for any diseases or
injuries.
Jackson said the shelter also
offers a Save-A-Pet program for
people unable to keep a pet but
who would like to guarantee an
animal a home. Under this pro­gram
the donator is sent a picture
of the sponsored animal when it
is adopted, and the adoption fee is
reduced to $5 for that particular
animal.
The shelter offers a 24-hour
emergency service for the medi-cial
care of any stray animal, and
a 24-hour drop off bin is available
if the animal can't be brought in
during regular office hours,
Jackson said.
1 Although the shelter is funded
by Auburn, Opelika, and Lee
County and aided by member­ship
fees, donations and fund­raisers,
Jackson said. "They lose
' money on every animal that goes
out of here." .
"Each case is special," she said,
" a n d we allow for unusual
circumstances."
The goal of the Lee County
Humane Society is to see that the
animals are given a fair chance
to be recovered by their original
owners or find a new owner,
Jackson said.
Those animals not so fortunate
are "euthanized" or put to sleep, a
job which is handled by Rick
Yerby, the shelter's manager.
Jackson said Yerby uses his
own judgment and experience to
decide which animals must be
put to sleep; "A job which is not
easy."

Little to leave teaching for treasurer's race
By Diana Houghton
Copy Editor
Ted Little, state senator and
business professor at Auburn
University, is resigning from
teaching after this quarter in
order to run his campaign for
state treasurer.
Having taught at the Univer­sity
for 17 years, Little said he
regrets that this quarter is his
last because "the student contact
has been rewarding." Currently,
he teaches legal and social envir­onment
of business two days a
week.
Elected a state senator in 1974,
Little has represented constitu­ents
(educational, textile, agri­culture)
from Lee, Tallapoosa,
Chambers and Randolph coun­ties).
Little, 43, discussed some of his
plans he would like to see imple­mented
if elected state treasurer.
For industrial and technologi­cal
improvements to occur in
Alabama, Little said, "an effec­tive
cash management system
needs to be developed."
He said one of his first priori­ties
is "investing the taxpayer's
money in banks across the state,

Alabama not immune to AIDS virus
Jennifer Stowers
News Staff
AIDS, Acquired Immune Defi
ciency Syndrome, has become a
national obsession. Although the
disease has become an epidemic
throughout the nation, there is
only one known case in Lee
County.
There are 33 known cases in the
state of Alabama and one in Lee
County, according to Betty
McCreery, supervisor of Nursing
Services at Lee County Health
Center.
Nationally, there are approxi­mately
14,500 confirmed cases as
of November. Of that total, 7,450
people have died from the dis­ease,
which is a mortality rate of
51 percent.
Dr. Wallace E. Birch, state
epidemiologist, said that the first
major route of transmission is
sexually, while the second is
through intravenous drugs.

Two freshman were slightly
injured Monday at 6:15 p.m.
when they were struck by a car
driven by sophomore Reggie
Ware, University Police Chief
Jack Walton said.
Walton said Ware was travel­ing
west on Thach Avenue when
he turned left onto Donahue
Drive and struck Jennifer Leigh
Jenkins and Valerie Jennan
Ostrander, pre-business majors.
No charges have been filed in
connection with the accident,
according to Walton.
He said Ware, who was driving
a 1983 red Chevette, had the
green light and wasn't speeding.
He also said it was the opinion of
the officer who investigated the
accident that Ware was not under
the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Walton said that he doesn't see
the possibility of criminal
charges, and there is no intention
to file any.
Jenkins and Ostrander, both
pre-business majors, sustained
bruises and abrasions and did
not require medical treatment,
Walton said.

tims are homosexual males, he
added, while 17 percent are
intravenous drug users.
In his pamphlet he wrote for
the Alabama Department of Pub­lic
Health Bureau of Epidemiol­ogy
and Consultation entitled,-
Facts about AIDS, Birch says
that the virus is transmitted by
drug abusers sharing contami­nated
needles; blood transfu­sions;
and from infected preg­nant
women.
He also said, "No cases have
been found to date where AIDS
has been transmitted by casual
or even close daily contact with
AIDS patients or persons in the
high-risk groups."
Specialists have ascertained
that the disease can only be
transmitted through blood and
semen, although many people
believe that exposure to toilet
seats, drinking glasses, showers
or food touched by an AIDS
victim, or exposure to sneezes,
coughs, saliva, tears or sweat of
a victimwill infect them.
For those heterosexual men or
women who are not intravenous
drug users, and are not hemophi­liacs
requiring blood transfu­sions,
there is less than a one in a
million chance of contracting
AIDS, according to the December
1985 issue of Discover magazine.
AIDS is caused by the virus
HTLV-III. Discover also says
that it is a retrovirus which,
means that it is capable of turn­ing
cells into "factories" for more
viruses.
The virus itself is extremely
fragile and cannot survive out­side
of its host. Because of its
dependence on certain body cells,
once inside, the virus is immune
to drugs administered to the host.
AIDS breaks down the body's
immune system and makes the
victim highly susceptible to rare
diseases, such as Kaposi's sar­coma,
a rare skin cancer that is
one of the three that usually
strike AIDS victims, according to
the magazine.
Birch said that there is no
known treatment for AIDS.
"Most of the drugs that have been
tried have been highly toxic.
We've only known the cause for
one and one-half years. The basic
problem is time."
Dr. Dunlap Oleson of the Drake
Student Health Center said that
a "very few people have called" in
reference to the disease. He also
says that the interest started
when the Red Cross started
screening donated blood.
Brenda Cosper, director of the
American Red Cross in Opelika,
said that there was a decrease in
blood donations when the AIDS
scare first surfaced. She also said
that the Red Cross does not give
free tests, but they do screen the
blood for the HTLV-III virus.
East Alabama Medical Center
is prepared for AIDS cases. Sher-rill
Lewis, director of community
relations there, said, "We would
handle the disease as other com­municable
diseases. The patient
would be put in isolation, so that
the disease would not spread."
through effective computer
utilization."
Little said,"This would'help to
bring communities out of eco­nomic
hard times." He added,
"Georgia has had interest draw­ing
accounts since 1975, and
Alabama needs to be just as pro­gressive
as other states in the
South.
"According to last year's
records, $41 million from taxpay­er's
money was not invested, and
I would put the maximum
amount of the taxpayer's money
in interest drawing accounts,"
said Little.
Another idea Little discussed,
concerning communication with
the taxpayer's, is the installation
of a toll-free Watt's line for people
to use. He said they would be able
to call in and find out where their
money is being invested in a par­ticular
part of the state.
Designated people would
answer the phones, and they
would be in charge of telling peo­ple
the amounts of state deposits.
In publicizing this service, Little
said public service announce­ments
would be on the radio, tele­vision
and in newspapers. Noti­ces
in the banks would also be
displayed to encourage people to
phone in.
Currently, Little said he
receives approximately 40 letters
a day and a substantial amount
of phone calls as a state senator.
"I want to change Alabama's
image to a more positive one and
what that will take," Little said,
"is a lot of improvement to give
Alabama a fair share of the credit
it deserves." He added, "What
that means is putting well-educated,
honest and hard­working
people into office, and
this lies in the public's hands -
they need to be more demanding
for the future of a progressive
Alabama."
Other possible candidates for
state treasurer include Jan Cook,
present state auditor, George C.
Wallace, Jr. and Col. Floyd
Mann, former police chief in
Opelika.
This fall, a reception was held
to honor him on "Ted Little
Appreciation Day.'' Little said
the purpose of "Ted Little Appre­ciation

public more aware of his "candi­dacy"

EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS
Delay drop and add
:* The Tigers' appearance in the
"'' Cotton Bowl in Dallas has sparked
excitement and enthusiasm in
many Auburn students while
raising anger and discontent in
' many others.
Why the anger? Drop and Add for
winter quarter is scheduled to begin
on Jan. 2. Nothing unusual about
that, right? Wrong.
Because the Cotton Bowl is a
major bowl game, it will be played
on Jan. 1 in Dallas, about a 14 or 15
hour drive from Auburn. That
means Auburn students who wish to
attend the game must make it back
' by 8 a.m. the next day for Drop and
51 Add. This is not an easy task, except
-f, for the lucky few who may be able to
afford a plane ticket from the
] Dallas/Fort Worth Airport to
Auburn International.
There is a simple solution, though.
; Simply move the date of Drop and
Add one day to accomodate for the
bowl game. The administration did
that two years ago when the Tigers
went to New Orleans for the Sugar
Bowl.
But this year the administration
refuses to move the date, saying it
would create more problems than
necessary. What problems would it
create? Just have Drop and Add on
Friday and Saturday Jan. 3 and
Jan. 4 instead of Thursday and
Friday. This would give students
attending the game plenty of time to
get back from Dallas and would give
students and faculty who remain at
home an extra day to recuperate,
from the big game before returning
to school. It would also solve some
problems.
Students, athletes, cheerleaders,
band members, War Eagle Girls and
Plainsmen who have to be back to
adjust schedules will have to find
friends to help with Drop and Add.
This may create more confusion
than necessary when a few hundred
people who do not really know
exactly what they are doing try to do
this.
This really does not seem like to
much to ask. It was done before, so
why not do it again? Is the Cotton
Bowl any different from the Sugar
Bowl?
Emert trip useful
'-_ Chinese faculty in Auburn?
Auburn faculty in China?
Is this some exchange program
for the future the administration is
currently working on?
No, this is an exchange program
for now that the University is cur­rently
taking part in.
Executive Vice President George
Emert recently returned from a
month-long visit to China in which
he was a member of a group of state
leaders which was led by Gov.
George C. Wallace. The purpose of
the trip was to make contacts with
Chinese industry and businesses
and to attract some of these indus­tries
to Alabama.
> Emert said he and the other state
leaders learned while on the trip
that Alabama must take advantage
of the world trade market and real­ize
its existence in that market. He
said if Alabama is to succeed at all
in the business world it must do it on
an international scale and must
learn now to adjust to that scale.
The key to success in this new
market is education, and Auburn
can do its part by educating stu­dents
to become the future leaders in
the foreign business community.
The University has already begun
a faculty exchange program with
China. One Auburn professor is cur­rently
teaching at Hunan Univer­sity,
and three Chinese professors
are already here in Auburn prepar­ing
to teach Chinese and Japanese
in the foreign language department
next fall.
Emert spent much of his time
while in the Far East recruiting
graduate students for Auburn. The
University also plans to create a
new international programs office,
soon with line item money from the
legislative budget.
Emert said he would like to see
more cooperative exchange agree­ments
such as the one with Hunan
University that would benefit
Auburn and Chinese students and
faculty.
The governor, Emert and the
group of state leaders are to be com­mended
for opening doors to world
industry and trade for the rest of the
state. Alabama businessmen must
now take their cue and jump into
this market.
Saying staff farewells
As fall quarter draws to a close,
the Plainsman must bid farewell to
a few fellow staffers who ' are
striking out in new directions.
Associate Editor Bob Murdaugh
will be leaving this quarter so he can
have a little more time winter to
concentrate on his studies. As soon
as grades come up, though, he is sure
to be back.
B u s i n e s s Manager Jill S.
Applegate is leaving the Plainsman,
but not Auburn University. She will
graduate with a Master's degree in
Speech Communication in March,
but will continue to teach in that
department until June.
The business staff will surely be
lost without Cindy Turner, the jack-of-
all trades in that office. She has
been with the Plainsman forever,
but will be leaving to intern winter
quarter, then graduate in March.
Assistant News Editor Lee Ann
Landers is venturing into the real
world of journalism for the first
time. She has sent out about 300
resumes, so she should have a job by
Christmas.

Holiday rush shouldn't start early
Finally, it's Christmas. Although dec­orations
have been up in the majority of
the stores since Halloween, for many
people, Christmas doesn't start until
after Thanksgiving, like it should.
I realize that retailers are always try­ing
to make a buck, and the earlier they;
get people to Christmas shop, the better
their profits at years end. I, however,
have never been one to get any shopping j
done until the day after Thanksgiving.
In fact, the day after Thanksgiving is
my favorite day of the year for shopping.
I just thrive on fighting all the fat ladies
in north Alabama (you know, the ones
who ate too much turkey and dressing)
to get to the $9 sweater table in JC Pen-!
neys. I have never resorted to scratching
or pulling hair just to get a bargain, but
I've come close to telling some of those
fat hogs just what I think of them.
I have never been able to understand
those poor, souls who get all their
Christmas shopping done by July 4.
What do they do for excitement during
the holidays? Have they never found
themselves with only one shopping day
left and 25 presents left to buy?! What
dull lives they must lead!
I've only just started thinking of pres­ents
for people on my Christmas list.
Daddys are really hard to buy for. My
father is a dogged junk collector (our
back yard could easily be mistaken for
Fred Sanford's) and most anything you
get him gets added to his collection,
never to be seen again. This year, how­ever,
I'm just going to get him under­wear;
someone always seems to steal his
underwear and use them for dust rags
before they even have more than four
holes in them. It seems that Daddy gets
underwear (the kind that reach down to
the knees and aren't flowery.) for every
special occasion. My mother even got
him some for their anniversary last
year! I guess that's what being married
for 24 years does to you.
Mothers and sisters are pretty easy to
. buy for. The stores are full of jewelry,
N perfume, and nice clothes that most
females like. My mother declares every
year that she doesn't want anything,
just for her children to behave them­selves
for the next year. Well, we all
know she's telling lies about not want­ing
anything, and besides it would be
much easier to buy her a nice gift than to
promise something that won't be kept
past Christmas Day.
Brothers usually demand the most,
expensive things in the store, like a VCR
, or video camera. Of course they refuse to
buy me anything more expensive than a
cheap bracelet or something trivial.
Boys...
Christmas season is the time of year
that I dread getting my charge card bills
in the mail. Buying on credit really
should not be allowed during this gift
giving season, of course that would
mean a pretty lean Christmas for most
of the people on my list.
They always say that giving is better
than receiving, and that is generally
true. I always get the dubious job of tak­ing
my little 7-year-old sister to do her
Christmas shopping. Daddy always
gives her a $10 check and off she goes
to buy her gifts for the family. Last year
I got the gift of the year from Julie. It
was a toilet brush. What can I say, it was
the only 75- cent item in K-Mart that I
could think of that I needed. Sadly to
say, my being the proud owner of that
shiny blue toilet brush has not helped my
toilet out any. Well, maybe this year
Julie will get me a maid to come down
and use that toilet brush for me. Oh well,
Merry Christmas.

Senior appreciates education
Lee Ann
LANDERS
It's been 16 long years. I've known
nothing else, except part time and
summer jobs since I was 5 years old.
School has been an integral part of my
life. I have grown up in this institution
and I value the education I have gained
here.
For every three steps I've made up the
ladder I have probably slipped back two,
but from those failures I have learned
lessons which made me a better person.
Although I cherish my education, I
know there have been times when I have
taken college for granted. From the time
I was old enough to know what college
was, it was an unspoken rule that I
would go to college. I knew I would go
and I assumed most people from high
school would, too.
That's not the way it went, though. In
this state only about 17 percent graduate
from college. Some people cannot afford
school, and others simply opt not to go.
It wasn't until I began talking with
my older sister, Robin, who, for many
reasons did not go to school, that I real­ized
how privileged I was to get to go to
school. She is probably more excited
about my upcoming graduation than I
am.
My sister was the one who I called
when I felt like the college atmosphere
was out of my grasp, and it was she who
would tell me how important it was and
that I could make it.
After talking with my maternal
grandmother I also realized how fortu­nate
I have been. Growing up and rais­ing
a family in the midst of the Great
Depression, she did not have the oppor­tunity
to go to school. She did_well for
herself and her family, but she also says,
"If I had had the opportunity you all
have I could have really made some­thing
of myself."
I've had the opportunity, now it's time
for me to apply some of the things I've
learned.
With God, my parent's unselfish devo­tion
to afford me this opportunity, a stu­dent
loan and a part-time job at Wal-
Mart I have finally made it to the end of
my four year journey.
Along with the encouragement of my
immediate family I have had support of
friends in my hometown and in Auburn.
All are special to me, none will be
forgotten.
There is one special person I would
like to thank for being ma friend. She
has helped me learn to be more honest
with myself, to challenge and believe in
myself. She's the best friend any one
person could ask for, and for this Suzy, I
thank you.
The friendships and the family I have
developed have helped me learn more
about life than classes have.
For it is through keeping an open
mind and endless hours of bull sessions
that I have learned the most about
myself and others. And, on occasion, I
have had my mind changed about a few
of my steadfast beliefs.
These are the experiences in my edu­cation
I have most internalized. This is
the type of knowledge I will call on when
I am working. There will probably be
many times when I will call on things I
have learned from my peers to help me
make decisions and keep the quality of
my work as best it can be.
Above all the organizations I have
been involved in during my college
career rests The Auburn Plainsman. My
greatest sense of accomplishment has
come from helping put the paper
together. And the camaraderie that
evolved from working with people hours
on end and under deadline pressure is
greater than anyone could expect.
Working for the paper has allowed me
freedom of expression and the opportun­ity
to learn from failures and triumphs
in my work. This is where my main
Auburn family exists. And this is where
I have learned the most.

Eulogy for single life,
two are better than one
There are lots of things I miss when I
stop to review my life. Things like my
Mrs. Beasly doll, watching Ultra Man
after school and being the reigning
tether-ball champion of the third grade.
There is one thing that I will not miss,
though, as I look ahead to the next quar­ter
— my life as a single woman.
I am saying goodbye to blind dates
forever. Never again will I be suckered in
by the words "...and he's really intelli­gent,
a good conversationalist, you'll
have fun, I promise, go out with him just
this once." Interpreted, this means that
the guy is a philosophy major who will
debate the foreign policy of the New
York Times with you all night, you will
pretend like you are having fun and the
one truth, the occasion will only be this
once.
Just think, no more waiting by the
phone for someone I'm not even sure I
really like or not to ask me out.
I no longer have to find creative rea­sons
to turn down dates from guys in my
-classes. "I'm sorry, my husband doesn't
like it when I date other men."
Goodbye to strange dinners like
macaroni and cheese with taco sauce,
gourmet PBJs and kosher dills and the
favorite standby, breakfast cereal. I'll
finally have a reason to find the kitchen
and figure out just exactly how the stove
works.
No more female roommates. Don't
misunderstand, I live with the most
wonderful roommates that anyone could
ever ask for, it's just that I'm ready for
the big switch. My medicine cabinet will
only have one tube of toothpaste in it,
instead of six. No more tripping over
every kind of shampoo and conditioner
known to man to get into the shower.
There will be hot water. There will not be
a line to use the telephone.
My new roommate will not experience
life-changing decisions each morning
like "Which shoes look best, the black or
the navy ones?" and "Does this match?".
The days of trying to figure out the bill
from Ma Bell and split it six ways are
over too.
I'm excited about living with someone
who is more than a roomate or buddy,
sharing 100 percent and not 50-50. I
have the opportunity to learn from and
learn about someone else for the rest of
my life, to have a relationship that is not
based on some mushy feeling but
founded on a commitment.
I look forward to reading together,
praying together, working toward the
same goals together and just plain being
together. I look forward to the chance to
learn how to put someone else's needs
before mine and to learn to trust a person
with decisions that concern my future.
You might think I'm being silly, but if
you were marrying my fiance, you would
be excited too. According to some of my
girlfriends, he's the last man on the face
of the earth worth having, and I tend to
agree. Well, maybe there are a few others
left, but not for me.

Christmas not always a merry-time
of year for some people
As Christmas approaches I notice
that my roommate, Rah-Rah, stares into
his desk drawer more often.
I noticed him doing that last year
about this time.
It was a great mystery to me because
he refused to answer any questions
regarding this strange habit and
because he always becomes quite
morose around Christmas time. I
thought at first he was reading some
type of subversive literature while try­ing
to keep it a secret, but he had never
kept it a secret before. My curiosity
finally won out and I peeked into his
desk drawer when he wasn't home.
Underneath the cassette tapes and a
bottle of Jim Beam I found what he had
been staring at. It was a photograph,
worn and wrinkled with time. It featured
a small boy, 2 or 3 years old, standing
beside a large inflatable Santa Claus
doll.
The doll towered over the boy almost
like a protective friend. In the back­ground
was a Christmas tree decorated
with tinsel and multi-colored lights. Off
to one side was a toy fire truck. The boy
had an amusing expression on his face
that could only belong to Rah-Rah.
I had discovered what he had been
•taring.at, but what did it mean? Little
i did I know that I would find the answer
in a very strange way.
During vacations I usually spend my
time working in the emergency room of a
hospital back home. Since I am the jun­ior
man, I always tend to draw the
strange shifts. That is how I found
myself working the late shift on Christ­mas
Eve last year.
Over Christmas the hospital is usu­ally
empty except for extremely ill peo­ple.
So the place is quiet and the work is
mostly routine. Even the emergency
room was still. Almost as if accidents
and illness had taken the night off.
It was late by the time I clocked out,
and I had long since given up on church
or any family gathering. I was heading
home for bed.
As I pulled out of the parking lot I
happened to glance at the bar across the
street. In the parking lot was Rah-Rah's
car. His car is not hard to spot. If you
have seen it once you will never forget it.
I went into the bar to see what he was
doing. This was not the usual cheerful
type of bar. This was a run-down, dreary
type of place where bums hung out. This
bar's idea of happy hour was free ice.
Rah-Rah was sitting by himself at the
end of the bar. He was well into intoxica­tion
by the time I got there. He had
already consumed a rum and Coke, a
banana daiquiri, peppermint schapps, 2
B-52's and a Long Island tea. The
glasses were still lined up in front of him.
The bartender and most of the other
patrons were crowded around the televi­sion
to see if Santa Claus would appear
on color radar.
Rah-Rah was well into a Seagrams
and Seven-Up by the time I asked what
he was doing spending Christmas Eve
in a bar. He responded by saying it was
hard to find a bar that served good beer
pretzels.
I launched into a speech on the evils of
drunkenness and how Christmas was a
time to be happy not drunk. Rah-Rah
was not listening though. He had passed
out, face down in a bowl of pretzels.
I paid for the drinks and hauled him
out to my car. On the way to his house he
rallied once and mumbled something
about a fat aunt and heavy underwear.
There were no lights on when we
arrived at his house. By then he was
awake and told me his family had gone obligation for his health care, at an
to visit relatives over the holidays. He f immense savings to the military .r
was alone. He said he could find his own
way into the house. As I watched him
stumble inside I thought of the picture in
his desk drawer and I knew what it
meant.
When I told a friend of mine the story
he said Rah-Rah was lacking something
spiritually. I don't think that's the case.
It's that something caused him to lose
the spirit of Christmas.
Every time I see him staring into his
desk drawer, I wonder if he i s searching
for some memory he lost. For his sake,
and mine, I hope he finds it.

Anglo-Irish agreement not answer
Editor, The Plainsman:
The recent Anglo-Irish agreement
appears to be a step in the direction of
uniting Ireland, but in the long run it
may be no more than a temporary com­promise
solving -few of the problems
involved.
Should Northern Ireland be united
with the Irish Republic to the south?
The answer is an unequivocal yes. So,
it would appear that this is another anti-
British, pro-IRA commentary. Not at all.
As long as I can remember England-and
the ideas she spread over the globe-rates
along with the U.S. as the most
endearing nation on earth. And that is
precisely why a unified Ireland would
favor Britain and her world-wide repu­tation
as a defender of democracy and
the rights of man.
There are three parties involved in the
question of Northern Ireland: the Brit­ish
mainland; the Irish Republic; and of
course Northern Ireland (known as
Ulster).
found in England. Parliament must
subsidize the entire region. In other
words, the British government is losing
money by possessing the Ulster region.
More importantly, dozens and dozens
of British soldiers have been murdered
at the hands of the terrorist Irish Repub­lican
Army. The IRA is out to kill any
British citizen it can.
Their connections with the PLO and
other anti-American terrorist groups
has greatly enhanced their ability to
kill, particularly with the purchase of
advanced technology. Recently, British
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher her­self
narrowly escaped death when an
IRA bomb blasted the hotel in which she
was staying. Lord Louis Mountbatten, a
member of the Royal Family, was killed
when his yacht expltsded — the result of
a remote controlled bombing device.
The Irish Republic has denounced the
existence of the IRA and seeks to arrest
those involved. Still, they manage to.
move fairly freely from the Republic to
the northern border.
A United Ireland would give the IRA
little to fight for, and would be a giant
step in ending the violence that has
claimed more than 2,600 lives in the past
two decades.
So why doesn't Parliament grant Irish
sovereignty to the region? Because
Northern Ireland is a county of Great
Britain, and possesses enough repre­sentation
in Parliament to block unifi­cation
efforts. Protestant extremists
fear dominance by the Catholic minor­ity
should unification ever occur.
While it appears that the problem is
religious-Protestant vs. Catholic, a
greater argument can be made by look­ing
at the political history of the region.
Greater still is the economic aspect
The truth is that Protestants in Ulster
fear that one day Catholics may take
bread away from their tables, and vice
versa.
James Webster
Auburn University Class of 75
Expansion should give students seats
Editor, The Plainsman:
After attending all of Auburn's home
football games for the past three years, I
have come to the conclusion that the
seating situation at Jordan-Hare Sta­dium
is way out of control.
Of course, this seating problem is
obvious to anyone sitting in the student
sections. I have always loved going to,
the games, but now I am beginning to'
dread it because it is such a hassle. You
have to get to the stadium at least an
hour and a half before the game in order
to get a decent seat. After that, your
chances of getting a seat at all are slim
to none.
Everywhere you look in the student
section there are at least five people
squeezed into every three seats. Stu­dents
have to sit and stand in the aisles
and on the walkways, including the*
walkways leading to the upper deck.'
People are just packed in everywhere.
There is obviously a problem here.
Let's get down to the facts. Jordan-
Hare Stadium has a seating capacity of
72,169. Acccording to the Auburn
Athletic Department, there were in
excess of 75,000 persons at the Florida
game.
The student section of the stadium
holds approximately 14,000 people.
However, the registrar's office stated
that there are 19,056 students enrolled at
Auburn who all have the opportunity to;
purchase student tickets. Now, how do
youput(orpik)more than 19,000 people into
14,000 seats?
I called the athletic department many <
times to confront them with this seating
problem and was repeatedly given the
run-around. They transferred my call
from one office to another, and on sev­eral
occasions they even hung up, hav­ing
supplied me with virtually no infor­mation
whatsoever.
They couldn't or wouldn't even tell me
how many tickets were sold for the Flor­ida
game.
It almost seems as if the Athletic
Department is trying to hide something.
Could it be possible that they are actu­ally
duplicating student tickets, and
that they are trying to increase revenues
by selling more $15 alumni and guest
tickets?
Perhaps this is why the students, who
pay only $4 per ticket, are crammed into
such a small section..
The easiest and most obvious solution
to this seating problem is to set aside
enough seats for the students when the
new stadium expansion is completed in
1987.
For the 198647 season, some of the
alumni and guest sections should be
allocated to the students. However, the
University has no intention of doing
either of these.
Why not? We support this school with
our increasing tuition payments, and we
stand by and encourage the football
team with our cheering and chanting.
We are the school and we deserve some
respect, not to mention some considera­tion
and integrity, from the athletic
department.
Come on Auburn, lets get with it! We
can no longer put more than 19,000 students
into 14,000 seats!

Drinking bill decreases state's power
Editor, The Plainsman:
The drinking age issue seems to be
slowly disappearing and people are now
reluctantly accepting the fact that the
federal government again has us in an
embarrassingly vulnerable position. By
threatening to withhold a state's high­way
funds, the government has given
the states an ultimatum which really
cannot be challenged. Through all of the
debate over the issue, it seems that peo­ple
have lost sight of a very simple idea.
When the Founding Fathers estab­lished
our nation, they were extremely
careful to prevent what they felt was our
single biggest threat to freedom. Their
fear was of a centralized government
with too much control over people's
lives.
Their solution was a decentralized
government with power divided into
smaller units—the concept of federal­ism.
With units of government compet­ing
against each other on a state and
local level, taxes would be held to a min­imum
and freedom would reign
supreme. If a person was dissatisfied
with the return on his tax dollars, he
could simply move to another area. Tax­payers
were protected.
Today this has changed dramatically.
In this century the federal government
has grown at an alarming rate—with
increased taxes and diminished freedom
as the price. The drinking age issue is a
tailor-made example of our lost freedom.
Instead of each state making its own
decision, the federal government has
stripped the states of their individual
rights and left them with no alternative
but to abide by the controversial new
law.
The irony of the issue is this; where do
federal highway funds really come
from? Naturally, the money which the
government threatens to withhold has
really been paid by Alabama's residents
anyway. People seem to have forgotten
that federal highway money is no gift
from our beloved government—as tax­payers,
it has come from our own
pockets.
So now, to receive our own highway
money, our coercive federal government
has given us an ultimatum—either
change the drinking age to 21 or forget
the money.
Why should we as United States citi­zens
be subject to political blackmail by
our own government?

Letter about military AIDS testing answered
Editor, The Plainsman:
Upon reading Donald J. Thieme's let­ter
of November 21, "Military AIDS
examination necessary move," I see that
my position on the military's use of the
HTLV-3 antibody test needs clarifica­tion.
First, I presented no medical inaccu­racy
as Thieme states in his letter. The
HTLV-3 antibody test is not a test for
AIDS. The test does not tell you if you
have AIDS or an AIDS related condition
(ARC), nor does it tell you if you will
develop AIDS or ARC in the future.
As I stated previously, the test only
shows whether you have been exposed to
the virus that can cause AIDS (in other
words, infected with the virus). The
point I wish to make here is that infected
individuals who do not develop AIDS
are not impaired and can still serve in
the armed forces as non-blood donors. It
is estimated that 50 percent of the indi­viduals
who test positive for the antib­ody
do not develop AIDS.
Thieme then gives an economic rea­son
for supporting the test, if "a recruit
tests positive at the recruit level, the mil­itary
can release him with no financial
Thieme then goes on to malign homo­sexuals
serving in the military without
regard to the issue of AIDS testing.
Overall, I would say that Thieme is just
as prejudiced and biased as the military
which he so affectionately refers to as
"she."
The only significant difference in
heterosexuals and homosexuals is that
one makes love to the opposite sex and
one makes love to the same sex. Other­wise
we are all the same. There is no
legitimate reason for excluding gays
from military service. The military's pol­icy
regarding homosexuals is simply a
matter of discrimination.
Returning to the original issue, I do
not object to the military using the
HTLV-3 antibody test, but to the
manner in which it is being used. The
test was designed to screen blood, not
people.
I suggest that the military review its
current policy for an alternative that
does not discriminate against gays
while protecting the health of all per­sons
serving their country in the armed
forces.
Michael H. Hicks
03 EE
SGA submits activity fees report
There is also an economic disadvan­tage.
Consider the fact that a service­man
can test negative and then go out
and become infected the next day. For
the test to be truly effective in the sense
Thieme desires, the test would have to be
conducted repeatedly and frequently for
all 2.1 million active service personnel.
j Just imagine the expense and inconven­ience
of such testing.
Editor, The Plainsman:
The following is the financial report of
the Student Ac t ivity Fee projects for the
fiscal year 198546. These figures are
their income and expenditures to date:
The Student Government Association
was allocated $48,857.80 and has spent
$5,766.00 with income of $4,260.00.
The University Programs Council
was allocated $220,815.00 and has spent
$70,963.65 with income of $336.60.
Recreational Services was allocated
$86,300.00 and has spent $26,124.92
with no income reported.
WEGL was allocated $24,006.00 and
has spent $10,867.18 with no income.
The Tiger Cub reported no income or
expenditures.
The Circle failed to submit a report.

Baha'i article correction given by member
As for inoculations, Thieme again
misunderstood me. I do support inocu­lating
servicemen, but only those serv­ing
overseas where "pernicious dis­eases"
are a hazard.
Editor, The Plainsman:
The purpose of this letter is to make a
correction in an article that appeared in
the Religion section of the Plainsman on
Hov. 21.
The word Baha 'i was spelt incorrectly
five times in the article including once in
the title. Since Baha'i was misspelt
every time it appeared in the article, it
caused confusion about the name of the
religion and the student organisation.
It is our hope that this letter clarifies
the spelling of the religion known as the
Baha'i Faith.

Stay here,
dine out on
dad's card
By Earl Thaxton
News Staff
University Food Service has
given Auburn students an alter­native
dining area with its open­ing
of The Hill Restaurant. Man­ager
.Doug McClain said the
restaurant has a "different
atmosphere."
The restaurant opened the first
week of November and serves
about 300 students each night, he
said. The restaurant is open from
5 to 8 p.m. Monday through
Thursday and has a seating
capacity of about 125.
McClain said The Hill Restau­rant
is different from other uni­versity
food services in that it
offers waiter service and has a
"restaurant atmosphere."
The menu consists' mainly of
steak and seafoed, he said, and
entrees cost about $4 to $7, he
said.
How did the idea for a student
restaurant originate? McClain
said Food Service Director Art
Call and Assistant Director Ed
People had wanted to start a
"steak house" for students and
they decided to circulate a questi­onnaire
among students last
spring to find out what type res­taurant
they would like to have.
The response was a "full service"
restaurant with salad bar and
waiters.
Except for the manager, all of
the restaurant workers are stu­dents,
McClain said. And the
majority of the customers are
students, he added.
McClain said food service offi­cials
plan to open The Hill Res­taurant
during weekends begin­ning
next quarter.
Chef 8 Club cards are accepted
at the restaurant but with the
higher prices, this could cause
conflict when students' parents
receive Chefs Club bills. Call
said he doesn't anticipate a prob­lem.
An average of only 300 of the
more than 9000 card holders are
using the service each night. He
said he expects this number to
drop slightly as students grow
familiar with the restaurant.
"They're not going to eat at the
same place every night," he said.
McMillan: Education is the answer
By Lee Ann Landers
Assistant News Editor
Frustrated by what he terms
cronyism, gubernatorial candi­date
George McMillan said it is
time for Alabama to have new
and better leadership to guide the
state in economic development.
Speaking to about 40 people at
a function sponsored by the
Young Democrats, McMillan
saijd the best way to move Ala­bama
up the ladder of greater
high tech development is through
educational excellence.
"We are at a critical junction in
Alabama, unfortunately, we
remain a land of poverty in a sea
of prosperity," McMillan said.
"We are blessed with 10 percent
of this nation's natural resour­ces,"
but this state is still not
developing like it should, McMil­lan
added.
Stressing education as the key
to Alabama's development
McMillan said implementing
basic skills tests for teachers who
have been certified since 1981, is
the first step to obtaining excel­lence
in the state.
Although it will not solve all of
the problems within the educa­tional
system, McMillan said,
"weeding out those teachers who
cannot teach" will set Alabama
on the road to success.
While some people think rais­ing
taxes to make the educational
budget larger will solve many of
the problems, McMillan said he
would first ask for the accounta­bility
of dollars spent before any
proposals are made to raise the
budget.
"I don't think people mind
spending money on education.
But I do think they mind not get­ting
their money's worth,"
McMillan said.
"If quality is put into the
schools then people at the local
level will become more involved
and this will take some of the
burden off of the state's educa­tional
budget.'
\ "If the local level takes on more
reponsibility for its educational
system then the state will have
more money to invest in higher
education," McMillan said.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR LUNGS.
THEY'RE ONLY HUMAN.
Proceeds
to fight
lung disease
By Julie Martin
News Staff
Christmas Seals stamps have
been sent to households all over
the country by the American
Lung Association for nearly
eighty years.
The stamps are the main
source of revenue that funds the I
fight against lung disease, said
Dr. Sam T. Coker, chairman of
the 1985 Lee County Christmas
Seal campaign.
This holiday custom has been
in existence since 1907, making !
this year its 78th year. For many
years, those colorful pieces of i
paper funded the fight against
tuberculosis, which for decades
was the leading cause of death in •
the United States.
Today, these funds are used for
research and education for the
control and prevention of other
lung diseases such as lung
cancer, asthma and emphysema,
Coker said.
Coker, a professor in the School
of Pharmacy, has been involved
with the American Lung Associ­ation
of Alabama for 10 years. He
said he became involved with the
Christmas Seal campaign
because he feels "there is a great
need for education on lung
health, and the American Lung
Association is capable of meeting
that need."
The American Lung Associa­tion
of Alabama uses the contri-butions
it receives from Christ-'
mas Seals in many areas.
Of the Lee County goal of
$13,110 this year, Coker said 90
percent of the money will stay in
Alabama to be used for educa­tion,
prevention, research grants,
clinical purposes and solicita­tions.
The remaining 10 percent
goes to the national campaign,
Coker said.
In 1984 the Lee County cam­paign
raised about $12,000 from
Christmas Seal donations, and -
the state generated about
$387,000 from Seal donations,
Coker said
A large amount of the money
collected goes toward education,
providing information on the
hazards of smoking in their Bet­ter
Breathing Program, and aug-
, gesting things that can be done to
improve lung health, Coker said.
Christmas Seals symbolize the
American Lung Association's
commitment to the health of the
nation, Coker said.

Bo awaits Heisman outcome
FOURTH A N D O N E Photography: Jay Sailors
Jackson goes over the top for TD to average last year's infamous debacle
By JeffStumb
Sports Editor
Bo Jackson gained 142 yards,
scored two touchdowns against
Alabama with two broken ribs he
substained in the Georgia game
two weeks ago, but Jackson and
the Auburn Athletic Department
kept the information from the
media and the Alabama players.
All of this came after Jackson
had been criticized by some
members of the media for taking
himself out of the "big" games
because of injuries.
Sports Illustrated came out the
Thursday before the Alabama
game and said that if it had a vote
it would not vote for Jackson or
Chuck Long from Iowa for the
Heisman Trophy. The reason it
said Jackson should not win was
because he wouldn't play with
pain.
Take that Sports Illustrated.
Frank Broyles of ABC announc­ed
that Jackson was playing with
broken ribs late in the fourth
quarter, after being told of the
injury in confidence by Auburn
coach Pat Dye, "He asked me not
to use it for sympathy for Bo in
a n y way," Broyles said.
Broyles said he waited until
late in the game because he knew
that Jackson would not want to
use his injury as an excuse or a
crutch.
As for playing with pain,
Broyles said that he admires
Jackson for that.
Broyles would not say who he
would vote for the Heisman if he
had a vote because he had not
seen Long play, but he said "Bo
Jackson has the best combina­tion
I've ever seen of power and
speed."
Jackson had special shoulder
pads made so that the Alabama
players would not find out that he
was injured.
Jackson will be in New York
tommorrow, along with Long
and Robbie Bosco of B YU, as one
of the three finalist in the Heis­man
voting.
But Jackson has already been
named the receipiantfor the 1985
Walter Camp Trophy as the
nation's outstanding college
football player. Jackson will
receive the award on Feb. 8 at
Yale University, where the 96th
Walter Camp Ail-American team
will be announced.
Jackson has gained 1,789
yards this year, and he is the first
Auburn back to gain more than
4,000 yards.
It is expected that Long will
give Jackson a challenge for the
Heisman that will be announced
live television Saturday night
from New York's Downtown
Athletic Club.

Recruiting lifeblood of program/B-12 B
Aggies awesome in S WC title run
By Chris Roush
Assistant Sports Editor
By winning their first South­western
Conference Champion­ship
since 1967, the Texas A&M
Aggies are set to face the Auburn
Tigers for the first time since 1911
in the 50th Cotton Bowl in Dallas
on New Year's Day.
Auburn lost to the Aggies in
their 1911 match 16-0. The first
contest was also held in Dallas.
The Aggies acquired their bowl
berth by overcoming tremendous
odds this year in the SWC. The.
College Station school upset
Arkansas 13-6 and SMU 19-17,
and defeated Texas 42-10 by tak­ing
advantage of six Longhorn
turnovers.
Texas A&M has only lost twice
this year en route to the Cotton
Bowl. Their losses include a 20-15
SWC loss to Baylor and a 23-10 ,
loss to Alabama in which the
Aggies -were troubled with
turnovers.
The Aggie head coach and
athletic director is Jackie Sher-rill,
an Alabama alumnus who is
in his fourth season at the school.
Before his 9-2 season this year,
Sherrill was 5-6 in 1982, 5-5-1 in
1983 and 6-5 in 1984. Sherrill,
whose career record stands at 78-
35-2, was the head coach at Pitts­burgh
before getting a lucrative
contract to coach at College
Station.
Texas A&M has been on a roll
their last three games, averaging
46 points a game. Before the
Texas game, the Aggies scored 43
points against Rice and 53
against TCU.
Leading the potent Aggie I-formation
offense is quarterback
Kevin Murray. The sophomore
leads the SWC in passing this
year by completing almost 59
percent of his passes for a total of
1,965 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Against Texas, Murray com­pleted
10 of 17 passes for 146
yards and three touchdowns.
Murray's favorite receivers are
Jeff Nelson and Shea Walker.
Nelson leads the SWC in recep­tions
this year with 51 for 651
yards and holds the all-time
Aggie receiving record with 92
career catches. Walker had
caught 29 passes for 472 yards in

Aundray Bruce is consoled as Bama celebration begins
Mountaineers get own medicine
By Chris Roush
Assistant Sports Editor
Revenge was sweet for the
Auburn Tiger basketball team as
they defeated West Virginia 84-59
in a victory Coach Sonny Smith
called "pretty."
West Virginia upset the then
lOth-ranked Tigers in the first
round of the Big Apple NIT 75-58
just 11 days ago. The Mountai­neers
outrebounded and outshot
the Tigers, and used a box-and-one
to hold Chuck Person below
double figures in scoring for the
first time in 68 games.
Smith contributed the turna­round
to three key things-the
running game, recognizing
defenses and the turnover rate.
"The secret more than any­thing
was the running game,"
said Smith, whose team raised
it's record to 2-1. "We played very
good man-to-man defense which
is not typical of us and for run­ning
as much as we did, the turn­over
rate was low."
The biggest surprise of the
evening was freshman sensation
Michael Jones. The Phenix City
native, who was not expected to
play because of a foot injury suf­fered
over the weekend, came off
the bench to score 14 points in the
first half to spark Auburn to a
45-26 halftime lead. Jones led
Auburn scorers with 18 points,
shooting six for eight from the
field and a perfect six for six from
the line.
"He's very close to a starting
position because Chris Morris is
not doing the things we'd like
him to do," said Smith.
The whole Auburn team set a
blistering pace that the Moun­taineers
just couldn't keep up
with. The Tigers shot 61 percent
from the field for the game and
held West Virginia to just 40 per­cent.
In the first meeting, West
Virginia outshot Auburn 55 to 42
percent. The Tigers biggest lead
of the night was early in the
second half, 57-28, before West
Virginia tried unsuccessfully to
chip away at the lead.
West Virginia, who now falls to
2-2, was led in scoring by
Renardo Brown, who tallied 20
points for the Mountaineers.
Person, who was also ham­pered
by an injury--a strained
neck muscle, recovered from a
slow first half to finish the night
with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
"Chuck missed two days of
practice with a strained neck
muscle," said Smith. "He's put­ting
way too much pressure on
himself to perform."
Frank Ford scored only eight
points, but he held Mountaineer
guard Dale Blaney to just six
points on one of eight field goals.
Blaney scored 23 points against
Auburn in their first meeting and
was averaging 22.3 points a
game by shooting an incredible
78 percent from the field.
Morris and Jeff Moore contrib­uted
to the Auburn scoring by
scoring 15 points a piece. Moore
also contributed seven rebounds
as the Tigers outrebounded their
opponents 36-28.

Tigers head for Dallas
after loss to Alabama
at Legion 'home game'
It was hard losing to Alabama. I was stunned. I
felt sick. I know it was hard on the Auburn students,
but in a way it was harder on me being from Bir­mingham
and because I have to write about it while
everyone else forgets about it.
But it was not harder on anyone more than the
Auburn senior football players.
I know this will sound like sour grapes, but I kept
thinking during the game that Auburn didn't have
any benefits of a home field advantage.
I really wanted Auburn to win so that this would
not sound like something put together because the
Tigers lost, but somewhere in the second quarter I
started thinking about The Game if it was played in
Jordan-Hare Stadium.
For those that were here this summer, you might
remember a column I wrote on June 27 that said the
Alabama game should stay in Birmingham. What
could I have been thinking of?
Tiffin makes 70 percent happy
When Van Tiffin kicked a 52-yard field goal with
no time left Saturday, 70 percent of Legion Field
went wild.
I thought it was supposed to be Auburn's home
game?
Even if the game had been played at Auburn with
the same results at least the majority of the fans
would have been sad, not happy.
If that is not enough for you then talk to Yann
Cowart, an Auburn offensive guard. Cowart injured
his knee on Bo Jackson's 21-yard catch of a sceen
pass in the fourth>quarter. Trainer Herb Waldrop
said that it was ligament damage, which might
have been caused by Legion Field's astro-turf.
Auburn players have been relatively injury free
at home this season.
I read an article in The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution Sunday that said that The Game
brings as much as $3.5 million to the Birmingham
economy. Wouldn't the Auburn-Opelika area like to
get in on some of that.
The same article quoted Doug Black, head of the
Birmingham Restaurant Association, saying that
Alabama has "five times as many fans as Auburn"
and history shows that the profit is bigger for area
murchants when the Tide wins.
Black's reasoning is: "Every good ole boy likes
the team of his state, and that's Alabama. Auburn
tends to be more students and their family and
friends."
If Auburn ever does go though with the stadium
expansion, you can bet Ray Perkins will be pacing
the opposition sidelines when Auburn is the home
team.
Tiger basketball underway
I don't know how many students know this, but
Auburn's basketball team has started playing.
From the looks of the crowds the first two home
games, about 5,000 each time, I get the impression
some people don't know.
There were more people at the exhibition game
with Marathon Oil than were at the Birmingham
Southern or the West Virginia games.
If it is the $1 admission price that's bothering you,
then come and see me and I might give you a loan.
Auburn is currently ranked 19th in the nation
(out of 280), and I don't know what you can do
around here that is as entertaining for the price.
Ciampi endorses team's defense

Freshman Jones was six of eight from field

The Auburn Lady Tigers returned from last
week's Lady Sunshine Classic in Sanford, Fla. with
one win, one loss, and possibly an answer to one big
question.
The question was whether the Lady Tigers were
capable of playing team defense after allowing an
average of 79 points per game through the first two
games.
Auburn opened the season with a 95-74 victory
over Central Florida. Then in the first game of the
Sunshine Classic they lost to seventh-ranked Vir­ginia
84-71.
"I questioned our defensive ability after the first
two games," admitted Head Coach Joe Ciampi.
However, in the consolation game of the tourna­ment,
the Lady Tigers shut down a then 2-0 North
Carolina team that was averaging more than 100
points per game and won 90-67.
That left the Lady Tigers 2-1 on the young season,
and Ciampi feeling better about the team's defense.
"I am satisfied with the improvement we've had
at the defensive end of the floor," Ciampi said.
"Against North Carolina we played good team
defense."
While Ciampi is pleased with the improvement,
he realizes the success against North Carolina
could be only temporary if the Lady Tigers do not
build on that improvement.

TIGERS-AGGIES
Kickoff: J a n . 1, t h e 50th Cotton Bowl in Dal­las,
Texas
Current Record: Auburn 8-3, Texas A&M 0-2
Last Meeting:1911-the Aggies won 16-0
Last Week's Game
The Auburn Tigers came up six seconds short of
victory last Saturday in the game for 364 days of
bragging rights against the Alabama Crimson
Tide. For the second straight year it came down to a
last second field goal attempt, unfortunately this
year it was good. The Tigers marched down the field
twice in the fourth quarter to take the lead, only to
watch Bama take it back and win the game 25-23.
On Thanksgiving night, while everybody was
recovering from their afternoon feast, the Texas
A&M Aggies were having a feast of their own, by way
of six Texas Longhorn turnovers. For the first time
since 1943, the Texas-Texas A&M game decided
who would be the Southwestern Conference Cham­pion.
The Aggies left no doubt who the best team
was by demolishing the Longhorns 42-10.
When Auburn Has The Ball
One of the best offenses in Auburn history will
play in the 50th Cotton Bowl. The leader of the Tiger
offense since the Ole Miss game has been senior
quarterback Pat Washington. Washington had one
of his best days against Alabama completing eight
of 17 passes for 159 yards. He also led Auburn to
two fourth quarter touchdown drives to put Auburn
in a position to win.
The main reason for this being one of the school's
best offenses is because of No. 34. Bo Jackson, who may
one day be known as the best football player ever or
maybe the best baseball player ever. There are not
enough adjectives in the English language to des­cribe
his ability. Jackson finished the year with
1,786 yards, second best in SEC history behind Her-schel
Walker. He scored 17 touchdowns to pass Joe
Cribbs' 1978 single season touchdown mark. By
playing with two broken ribs against Alabama,
Jackson showed as much heart and ability that has
ever been displayed in the same man.
When A&M Has The Ball
The Aggies have overcome tremendous odds this
year to win the SWC. Three key victories this year
include victories over Arkansas 13-6, SMU 19-17,
and the Texas. Texas A&M suffered two earlier
losses to Alabama 23-10 and Baylor 20-15. In the
Aggies last three games they averaged 46 points per
game.
Leading the explosive A&M offense is sophomore
quarterback Kevin Murray who leads the SWC in
passing this year. Murray has completed an unbe­lievable
59 percent of his passes this.year for 1,965
yards and 13 touchdowns. Against Texas, Murray
completed 10 of 17 passes for 146 yards and three
touchdowns.
Murray has two targets he likes to connect with,
Jeff Nelson and Shea Walker. Nelson leads the
SWC in receptions with 51 for 651 yards and holds
the all-time receiving record with 92 career catches.
Walker had caught 29 passes for 472 yards in
A&M's first ten games.
Leading the way for the Aggies ground attack is
Anthony Toney. After 10 games at running back,
Toney had compiled 769 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Keys to Victory
An Auburn victory in the Cotton Bowl would help
mend some of the wounds suffered from the heart­breaking
loss to Alabama. This Auburn team is
better than their 8-3 record suggests and will prove
to be all the Aggies can handle come New Year's
Day. For Auburn to win however, they have got to
have it together on offense and defense at the same
time.
The Tiger defensive front will have to perform
well to be successful against a big Texas A&M
offensive line. If Tracey Rocker, Harold Hallman,
and Gerald Williams can cause problems for Mur­ray
it should cause problems for the Aggies. If the
Auburn offense is firinjr on all cylinders, the Tigers
should win its fourth straight bowl.

Auburn Play the Week
Ford
Frank Ford
Frank Ford was named the
Player of the Week for his per­formances
in Auburn's first three
games of the 1985-86 season.
Ford scored 21 points in the Tig­ers'
first game against West Vir­ginia
in the Big Apple NIT, four
points agianst Birmingham
Southern and eight in Tuesday
night's game with West Virginia.
Ford, a junior from Kissimmee
Fla., also has had 14 rebounds
this year.
"We were cocky," Ford "said of
the opening season loss to the
Mountaineers. "They changed
defenses, and we did a lot of de­fensive
drills" after the first loss.
Ford said that he feels good
about the teams start this year
even though Chuck Person is in a
early season slump, because he
said everyone else is ready to pick
up the slack.
Coach Sonny Smith said that
"Frank is doing a job on (Dale)
Blaney," West Virginia's out­standing
scorer.

Vickie Orr
Freshman Vickie Orr, a 6-3
center from Hartselle, was
named the Player of the Week for
»the Lady Tigers after her perfor-mences
early this season. Orr
was also named to the all-tourament
team in the Lady Sun­shine-
Classic last weekend in
Sanford Fla.
Orr leads the team in points,
averaging KS.6, and rebounds,
with 11 per game.
Coach Joe Ciampi has praised
Orr for her quick improvement.
Orr scored 12 points in the Tig­ers
first game against Central'
Florida and she grabbed 10
rebounds. In the loss to Virginia,
Orr had 16 points and 14
rebounds. Orr then added 22
points and nine rebounds in
Auburn's win over North Carol­ina.

The Auburn-Kentucky basket­ball
game scheduled for Thurs­day,
Jan. 2 at Auburn has been
moved to Monday, Jan. 6 accord­ing
to an announcement by
Auburn associate athletic direc­tor
Oval Jaynes.
The move was made, Jaynes
said, because of Auburn's partic­ipation
in the Cotton Bowl Jan. 1.
"Moving the game should be
advantageous for our fans
returning from the Cotton Bowl
and it should be especially help­ful
to our student body. We antic­ipate
taking a large following to
Dallas and many of those same
fans would like to see the Ken­tucky
game," said Jaynes.
"We are extremely appreciative
of the help and cooperation we
have received from Cliff Hagan
and Coach Sutton at Kentucky.
They are well aware of the admi­nistrative
and game manage­ment
problems presented by the
Jan. 1 bowl game and a Jan. 2
home basketball game against
one of your biggest rivals," he
said. "The SEC office has been
most helpful and we appreciate
their support too."

Auburn head coach Sonny
Smith announced Monday that
sophomore center Darren Guest
has left the Tiger basketball
team. Guest cited the lack of play­ing
time as his reason for leaving.
Guest played 12 minutes in the
first two games of the 1985-86
season. The 6-9 center scored four
points and grabbed four
rebounds.
"The loss of Darren Guest is a
tremendous blow to the Auburn
basketball program," Coach
Smith said. "He's a great kid and
his departure creates a depth
problem at center."
As a freshman, Guest appeared
in 32 games—including two
•tarts—and averaged 1.8 points
and 2.2. rebounds.
Guest has made no definite
plans about his future, although
he is expected to enroll at another
institution.

Sports Staff
Auburn gymnastics begins a
new era tonight when first year
head coach Robert Dillard's Lady
Tigers perform in their first intra-squad
meet of the year. The sea­son
begins Jan. 4 on the road, but
spectators will get a preview of
the squad tonight at 7 o'clock in
the Sports Arena.
Dillard comes to Auburn from
Jacksonville State University. In
10 years with the Lady Game­cocks,
Dillard posted 100 victo­ries
and back-to-back national
championships in 1984 and 1985.
He coached 12 Ail-Americans
and was twice named NCAA Div­ision
II Coach of the Year.
Dillard faces a challenge of
rebuilding a gymnastics pro­gram
that has finished last in the
SEC three of the last four years.
"The first step in building a suc­cessful
program is obtaining a
positive attitude," Dillard says.

"Auburn has the talent, but we
must build self-confidence. We
have been working hard and are
excited about this season and
tonight's meet. I hope the student
body and community will show
their support by coming out,"
remarks Dillard. "I believe it will
be a fun night for everyone
because the audience will partic­ipate
by being the judges."
Auburn will enter the 1986 sea­son
with high hopes and goals. If
five freshmen can make a quick
transition to the collegiate level
and the returning performers
avoid injury, the Lady Tigers
could enjoy their best season
ever. Even though five letter-winners
return, Auburn will field
a young team. Three juniors will
have to give strong leadership
while two sophomores will have
to recuperate from injuries.
The team is coming off a fine
season that saw it break every
team record with the exception of
vaulting. Winning is the team's
top priority this year and in the
process, more records should fall.
Tonight's blue team will fea­ture
junior team captain Liz
Butler, last year's number two
all-arounder Kathi Frick and the
two top freshmen Janeen Coco
and Angie Sprinkle. The orange
squad will consist of last year's
top all-around performer Toni
Johnson, junior Karen Kenlin,
sophomore Leigh Weatherly, and
newcomers Katy Mida and Liz
Haisley. Freshman Patty Parker
will miss the competition due to
ligament damage in her ankle,
but she should be ready to com­pete
early in the season.
"The teams are evenly
matched and very well bal­anced,"
Dillard says. "The meet
will provide plenty of excitement
for the spectators as well as some
outstanding gymnastics rou­tines.
We will not charge admis­sion
because we want everyone to
play a part in building a bright
future for Auburn Lady Tigers
Gymnastics."
