Maund, McCalman in runoff; Irwin new VP
By Tommy Wofford
Business Manager
One hour and thirty-five min­utes
after the scheduled time of
announcement, a runoff was
declared in the race for SGA Pres­ident
between Robert Maund and
David McCalman.
Polling will be in the same loca­tions
as in the general election
between the hours of 8:30 a.m.
and 3:30 p.m. The winner is sche­duled
to be announced tonight at
6.
No campaign materials will be
allowed today. Maund and
McCalman will be restricted to
handshakes.
Maund received 1,574 votes, or
37 percent of the total vote and
McCalman received 1,236 votes
or 29.1 percent.
In one of the closest races in the
history of elections, John Irwin
defeated Mike Mulvaney to
become vice president.
"We want to use our time wisely
tonight and make sure eyeryone
gets out to vote," Maund said. "I
want to thank Rusty Batch, my
campaign manager, Sigma Phi
Epsilon and everybody who
played an active part in my
campaign."
"I enjoyed meeting everybody
this week," McCalman said. "I
had a great time. Naturally, I'd
like to encourage everyone to get
out and vote."
Cole Portis, who received 1,158
votes for SGA president, said he
would continue to be active with
the SGA. "I don't think I'll be a
sore loser. I've found from the
past that it's only good to work
for the SGA if you want to. I think
it would be nice to still do
something."
Irwin, who won by 38 votes,
said he wanted to make sure the

GS A candidates disqualified
By Kim Best
News Editor
In a controversial Graduate
Student A3sociation vote count,
two graduate students were dis­qualified
in a special elections
board meeting after the polls
closed.
Pat McGloughlin, graduate
school presidential candidate,
and Miles Barron, graduate
school vice presidential candi­date,
were disqualified. Neither
was notified of the disqualifica­tion
until after the winners were
announced last night.
Walter Price, chairman of the
elections board, said that unsuc­cessful
attempts were made to
contact both candidates yester­day
afternoon. McGloughlin said
that he saw Price at 5 p.m. yes­terday,
and nothing was said
about the disqualification.
Official winners were Scott
Beckey for president with 43
votes and Cathy Edison for vice
president with 44 votes. They
were the only other candidates in
their respective races. Penny
Thompson ran unopposed and
was elected with 86 votes.
"Campaign materials, in sup­port
of both Pat and Miles, were
distributed today (Thursday),"
said Price. "They were disquali­fied
this afternoon (Thursday)
after the polls closed but before
election returns," he added.
"The elections board voted that
this was a violation," Price said.
The campaign material in
question was a memo sent out by
Terry Henderson, president of
the GSA Senate, to graduate stu­dents
in the math department.
The memo urged graduate stu­dents
in the department to vote in
the election, and Henderson

Sen. Corbett's case declared mistrial
By Denise Self
Staff Writer
Lee County Judge G.H. "Spud"
Wright declared a mistrial Tues­day
in the two-day appeal case of
State Sen. Danny Corbett, D-Phenix
City, when a jury was
unable to decide whether the
freshman senator had exposed
himself to an Auburn student on
the afternoon of Oct. 21.
The f o u r - m a n , eight-woman
jury deliberated for more
than three hours before Wright
conceded they were "hung" and
ordered a retrial set for Sept. 8.
After the ruling, Corbett and
his attorney, Bob Faulk, per­ceived
the outcome as a victory.
"I hope the voters in my district
can see I have appealed and am
not guilty," Corbett said. He con­cluded
that the mistrial would be
"favorable" toward his recently an­nounced
plans to run for re­election
for the democratic prim­ary
on June 3.
Faulk said he thought the jury
was leaning toward Corbett by
an 8-4 margin. "I understand
from the bailiff there were eight
jurors pushing for acquittal," he
said.
Auburn City Attorney Arnold
Umbach was unavailable for
comment in the case.
Before leaving the courthouse,
Corbett's wife, Peggy, tearfully
said, "We are going to. win this
election and we are going to win
this trial."
Corbett, 36, was originally
convicted Nov. 12 in Auburn
Municipal Court on a misdemea­nor
charge of public lewdness
and was fined $107.
Kim Stagg, 21, 04 VAT, a resi­dent
of a house at the corner of
Thach Avenue and Payne Street,
claimed Corbett was standing
beside his car parked on Payne
Street about 1:55 p.m. shortly
before he exposed himself.
Throughout the trial Corbett
maintained he was innocent,
contending he was a victim of
mistaken identity and was tar­geted
by political opponents who
want to ruin his bid for
re-election.
Corbett said he was at Freeway
Ford, a Columbus car dealership
at the time he was alleged to be in
Auburn.
One week following his convic­tion
in Auburn, the South Central
Bell Co. subsidiary fired Corbett.
At the time of his firing, Terry
Johnson, a company spokesman,
refused to give reasons for Cor­bett's
dismissal, saying company
policy prohibited him from
divulging reasons why Corbett
was fired. Corbett had been a ser­vice
technician with AT&T for 14
years.
Under Umbach's questioning,
Stagg testified that she first
noticed Corbett outside her kit­chen
window; standing on the
sidewalk behind his car. She
claimed he walked up and down
the sidewalk several times before
he exposed himself to her.
When asked by Umbach to tell
exactly what she saw, Stagg rep­lied,
"I saw him unzip his pants
and pull out his penis."
She said the man got into his
car and drove away, then drove
back by the house. Stagg said she
copied down the license tag
number and later identified Cor­bett
in a police photo line-up on
Oct. 25.
"I was real shook up and didn't
know what to do. I didn't know if

Miss Auburn, treasurer
By Kristi Francis and
Siona Carpenter
Staff Writers
Florrie Salter let out a slight
shriek, gave her mom a quick hug
and was immediately engulfed
by screaming friends last night
as she became the 1986-87 Miss
Auburn.
"It was an honor to be put up
for Miss Auburn, but I never
thought I would get this far," the
1 sophomore pre-business major
said.
"I'm very surprised and very
honored," Salter beamed. "Now
I'm ready to get to work."
Salter, who wanted to thank
everyone who helped her cairf
paign, said she was looking for­ward
to meeting new people next
year.
As Miss Auburn, she automati­cally
becomes a member of the
War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen
and serves as the official hostess
of Auburn University.
Tim Mitchell, who ran unop­posed
for the 1986-87-SGA treas­urer
job, said he wants to open the
communication channels be­tween
the students and the
. Budget and Finance Committee
(B&F).
"We need imput from students
on what they want to do with the
money," Mitchell said. He plans
to make students aware of what
the B&F is doing through the
media.
. Something that Mitchell plans
to work on is raising the student
activity fee. Currently $8 of a stu­dent's
tuition is used as student
activity fee. "The fee hasn't been
raised since I've been here. It's
sad that we don't have more
money to do new things with,"
Mitchell said.
Running unopposed gave Mit­chell
mixed emotions. "It's a sad
situation that there was not a
choice. In some ways, I wish
there was because I don't want
anyone to feel forced into having
voted for me. But if there's
anyone around that knows what
goes on with B&F, I do."
"The students have given me
the privilege to serve them as
SGA Treasurer," he said. "I want
to be open to all students. Anyone
should feel free to call me at. th<"
SGA office or at home, as long as
it's a decent hour."

The last duel was supposedly
fought in South Carolina on July
4,1880, ending an era of the rela­tionship
between politics and
dueling.
Bertram Wyatt-Brown, of the
University of Florida, spoke Fri­day
in Foy Union on "The South­ern
Duel and the Politics of
Honor" as part of the Draughon
Lectures in Amercian History
series.
"Duels did serve a purpose,"
Wyatt-Brown said. They assured
fairness of conflict and confined
violence to a predictable outcome.
They were important because of
the lack of government in the Old
South.
Dueling involved a code of
honor and was a means of
advancing young men's careers
according to Wyatt-Brown. It set
gentlemen apart from others, he
said.
A man of position could
increase his prestige by having a
stable of young men who agreed
to stand for his honor. It was an
upwardly mobile vehicle for the
young man associated with a
worthy patron who could provide
public credentials.
The code of honor was a public
acceptance of the respect a gen­tleman
commanded for himself.
"The man of honor declares I am
who I say I am, and the public
says you are who you say you
are," Wyatt-Brown said.
He recalled a duel between
Andrew Jackson and Charles
Dickinson over a horse racing
bet. "Duels had to be fought
between men of equal moral and
social standing." The Jackson
duel took nine months to develop
according to Wyatt-Brown. "It
took time for duels to develop."
Usually insults and apologies
were traded for many months as
the opposing parties tried to
avoid the actual duel. Wyatt-
Brown said that there was a pas­sivity
to the duel. Men would fire
into the air to avoid having blood
on their hands.

International Business Club
There have been several goats for the International Business
Club, but the one goal that is more important than any other is the
goal to establish the Int'l Bus Club.as a vital organization to the
students of Auburn University. Last October a few students got
together to organize the IBC and since that time the club has done
much to fulfill its goals.
We promote relations between IB and FLT students and the
international business firms of the south-east. We have had
numerous speakers to inform us on qualifications of their firms, the
growth of the IB field, the countries most involved with IB and more.
We encourage better relationships among the Auburn students,
specifically among the foreign language students and the busi­ness
students. A planned activity to promote such relations is a
November party with the language honoraries and the IB Club. We
also have proposed a T-shirt sale involving the above organiza­tions
so as to raise money to be given to a charity of choice. Within
the T-shirt sale we plan to promote the importance of the aware­ness
of culture. Which leads to another goal of the IB Club.
We feel cultural awareness is extremely important to everyone,
especially college students as they are the leaders of tomorrow.
Through our club we have had speakers talk of cultural differen­ces,
the importance of learning other languages, and more.
We foster the growth of Auburn students within themselves
through getting involved, as other organizations do. However, we
feel we foster the growth as an unbiased growth. The IBC repres­ents
equality not only among countries but also among people.
Therefore, in joining the IBC one can get involved and grow on a
cultured and unbiased level.
Although the International Bus. Club will receive its charter
March, 1986, we feel we are already a chartered organization in
that we have a closeness and an administration for each other, a
goal we are proud to achieve. Should we have had a charter at this
time I feel we would be a prime candidate for the Organization of
the Year Award!

Communication key
to avoiding tragedy
By Siona Carpenter
Assistant News Editor
Blame for the January 28
explosion of the space shuttle
Challenger can be layed on a
communication breakdown,
astronaut Henry Hartsfield said
Wednesday.
"It appears to us that what
happened on 51-L perhaps could
have been avoided with better
communication between the dif­ferent
levels of management,"
said the veteran of three shuttle
flights.
Hartsfield, who spoke to repor­ters
in Foy Union, received a
bachelor's degree in physics from
Auburn in 1954.
He and fellow Auburn gradu­ate
Ken Mattingly gained
national and regional attention
when they flew together on a 1982
Columbia mission.
Hartsfield appeared last week
before the presidential commis­sion
investigating the shuttle
disaster and recommended that
an independent communication
channel be set up within the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
With the proposed board, the
concerns NASA personnel have
regarding the shuttle programs
will be heard by people whose
only job is to listen to those
concerns.
"That would prevent anything
like what happened with the
seals," Hartsfield said, "Ob­viously
the problem with the
seals never got to us in the flight
crew office, and it never got even
to the level-two management who
essentially on paper are supposed
Ho be running the shuttle
program."
But Hartsfield said he doesn't
believe safety warnings about
the performance of rubber O-ring
seals on the solid-rocket boosters
were deliberately withheld.
"In their own minds, they felt
that there was no requirement to
do so," Hartsfield said. "In hind­sight
I think that could be ques­tioned.
I don't have all the infor­mation
that the panel has, but I
feel that there is something
wrong with the process that
allows that to happen."
Members of the commission
investigating the Challenger
explosion indicated last week
that they will recommend that
such a board be established to
work within NASA.
At the shuttle investigation,
Hartsfield said, he also outlined
what he thought NASA needed to
do to make the shuttle program
viable again.
Hartsfield said the space
administration in the future will
be reevaluating the shuttle's
design, taking a look at the way
the shuttle is tested and looking
at how shuttle astronauts are
trained.
Another of Hartsfield's con­cerns
is the so-called critical
items list, or the list of items that
must work for safe shuttle flight.
"We know one item that is
already on our list right now, and
that's the seals."
As for the space shuttle pro­gram's
future, Hartsfield said the
atmosphere in the astronauts'
office is upbeat and positive. "It
appears to me that all the things.
that I feel like we ought to be
doing are being done," he said.
"We had a tragedy, we need to
overcome this, and we feel we are
going to come out of it with a
much stronger program."
Hatsfield said although astro­nauts
wanted to believe other­wise,
they knew disaster was
inevitable.
"There's no way you can keep
doing this without losing a vehi­cle,"
he said. "It was one point in
the space time continuum, and
the bottom fell out."

A year after four fraternities
were asked to vacate their houses
to make way for an $18 million
hotel-conference center, funding
has been obtained and construc­tion
is set to begin, the project's
developer said Tuesday.
B.J. Allison of Allison Devel­opment
Corp., Charlotte, N.C.,
said construction on the six-story
hotel and the adjacent continu­ing
education center should
begin no later than June 1.
"Everything has been prepared
legally for closing," Allison said.
Problems with funding delayed
the project and left a vacant lot
where the fraternity houses had
been.
Phillip Dunlap, director of eco­nomic
development for Auburn,
said the city secured a $2.5 mil-

lion federal bond allocation dur­ing
the spring of 1985, but the
allocation expired at the end of
December.
Allison said his corporation
could not close the bonds cor­rectly
within the time limit, so the
project was postponed.
The city was forced to reapply
for another bond allocation
which it secured March 18, Dun-lap
said.
President James E. Martin
said responsibility for the delay
should not be placed on one per-
Rehabilitation Club given
check for Camp AS CCA
By Carol Robinson
Staff Writer
"Our number one value is qual­ity
service," Lamona Lucas, state
director of rehabilitation in Ala­bama,
told members of the
Auburn Rehabilitation Club
Wednesday.
Lucas presented a $71 check to
Ann Prestidge, president of the
club, who said the money will be
used to establish a radio station
for Camp ASCCA.
A strong advocate of the hand­icapped
student, Lucas said her
main concern is that handi­capped
students receive good
services, including accessibility
on campus wherever it is
possible.
Several members of the Uni­versity
Committee for Handicaps
present at the club meeting con­fronted
Lucas with a proposal for
a lift or ramp to be installed on
the north side of Haley Center.
Bob Couch, associate professor
of rehabilitation and special edu­cation,
said installation of the lift
or ramp would make it much eas­ier
for handicapped students to
get to classes.
The committee requested that
the state agency agree to pay a
portion of the expense which is
estimated at about $3,000.
Lucas agreed to the proposal,
saying that under Services for
Groups, the money would be
available.

"Anytime you are dealing with
a project of this magnitude and
trying to put the project together
without having the money in
hand; these things take time,"
Martin said.
The responsibility of funding
the project lies with, the devel­oper,
and because of this the Uni­versity
and the developer have
spent a lot of time working out the
details of the project, he said.
If Auburn was using its own
allocated money for the project,
Martin said, it would not have
taken as long to smooth out the
paper work and begin construc­tion.
One factor which played a part
in the delay of the project was set­tlement
with the four fraternities
on payment for their houses.
Alpha Gamma Rho, Delta
Sigma Phi, Pi Kappa Phi and Phi
Delta Theta moved out of their
houses in June 1985, but they did
not reach an agreement with the
University until late fall quarter.

EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS
Election proceedings
Once again only about a fourth of
the student body voted in the SGA
elections.
Twenty-two percent (4,249 stu­dents
out of 19,056) of the student
body voted in the elections after a
campaign period of three and a half
days.
The shorter campaigning time
compared to last year's week appar­ently
had little effect as 210 fewer
students cast ballots yesterday as
opposed to last year's total.
Again, independent voters out­numbered
Greek ballots by a 2,140 to
1,934 count.
However, today all students have
another chance to vote in the runoff
for SGA president between Robert
Maund and David McCalman. The
winner of today's runoff will receive
the opportunity to sit on the Board of
Trustees as an ex-offico member. He
will also be allowed to appoint many
students to important positions on
traffic and appeals, academic
honesty, discipline and grievance
committees.
The SGA president will also
appoint the chairman of the Budget
and Finance Committee that allo­cates
student activity fees.
Be sure and get out and vote today
at polling places around campus.
Congratulations to yesterday's
winners and good luck in the upcom­ing
year.

Racial ills at Alabama
Cross-burnings went out with
lynchings and the Ku Klux Klan's
white hoods.
At least t h a t ' s what most Alabam-ians
thought until an incident last
week, at the University of Alabama.
When the black sorority Alpha
Kappa Alpha made a bid for
university-owned Magnolia Cot­tage,
which is located on white sor­ority
row, Alabama students did not
quite know how to react.
Several white sororities met to
discuss the "problems" that the
AKAs might create if they moved in,
but could come up with nothing
more conclusive t h a n added "noise"
or "extra guys" invading their terri­tory,
so they all decided to "accept"
the presence of the black sorority
girls on sorority row.
Well, it seems some other people
didn't want to "accept" the blacks.
Two white male students burned a
cross in the yard of Magnolia Cot­tage
last week, creating quite a furor
on campus. The students were
apprehended by campus police but
not arrested because the cross-burning
was viewed as "just a sim­ple
fraternity prank."
What's so simple about blatant
racism? Apparantly Alabama pres­ident
Joab Thomas didn't take the
incident too lightly because he sus­pended
the students indefinitely
after the police department refused
to arrest them.
Thomas seems to be the only one
at Alabama who takes the incident
seriously. Everyone else is trying to
blow the whole thing off in order to
quell the bad press. One sorority girl
was quoted as saying "This whole
thing is just blown out of proportion.
It was really nothing, but nobody
will quit talking about it."
Maybe people should quit talking
about it. And maybe people should
quit talking about Auburn's racism
woes. Maybe we should all be quiet
and not report any more stories
about blacks and whites and their
troubles and differences.
But what would that solve? Just
because we shut up about such prob­lems
doesn't mean they will cease to
exist. But we shouldn't sensational­ize
the problems, either.
We just need to be aware of the
vestiges of 1960-ish racism that do
exist and try to erradicate the prob­lems,
not ignore them.
Harbert's ongoing generosity
"Thanks, John Harbert.
Thanks for your continuing sup­port
of and dedication to Auburn
University.
And thanks especially for the new
civil engineering building and the
opportunities it will provide to stu­dents
in the future."
Every student at this University
should write a personal letter to
John M. Harbert III t h a t says some­thing
like this, whether or not you
will ever attend a class in the Har­bert
Engineering Building.
You should all thank Mr. Harbert,
and other alumni like him, because a
public university like Auburn can­not
function without the support of
its alumni.
It's people like John Harbert and
all the other Generations Fund con­tributors
who make the ends, meet
for Auburn. It's people like this who
insure t h a t Auburn will always pro­vide
a quality education for its
students.
But don't restrict your thanks
only to those who give millions.
Thank also any alumni you know
who still loves and supports
Auburn. And remember that we
must also give our support when we
become alumni if Auburn is to con­tinue
to grow and prosper in the
future.

Forming a vision for Auburn
Every successful organization, be it a
government, corporation or university,
must have an overriding vision guiding
its administrators' decisions and mov­ing
the organization closer toward its
desired goal.
Last week we discussed some, mostly
past, issues that confronted Auburn and
its student body. This week we'll attempt
to conceptualize a recommended vision
for Auburn's future.
We'll have three distinct paths, com­plete
with accompanying implied
advantages and disadvantages of each
course, the University can proceed
down.
The first would be an ever-expanding
college with growth as the institution­ary
theme. Enrollment would be allowed
to increase to, say, the 23,000 to 25,000
level, depending on demand and regard­less
of facilities available.
A finger in the dike approach with no
apparent direction would provide for
classroom space and teachers for the
growing student body, as need arose.
Projects, like the conference center
and stadium expansion, would be the
rule as a business-like theory (growth
and profits) controlled decision making.
Additional buildings would have to be
constructed to teach and house (like
CDV) the increasing number of stu­dents.
Tuition would have to be raised
about every other quarter to finance the
new facilities.
Campus additions would be neces­sary,
like picturesque asphalt parking
lots, parking decks (you guys are going
to have fun boiling out of that thing on
hour changes, I can just hear the tires
screeching now), maybe a junior Haley
Center, new engineering or business
buildings and a baby Pentagon for the
Air Force, Navy and Army ROTC units.
Buildings would sprout up on univer­sity
property along Wire Road, College
Street (where a fraternity row used to be)
and wherever else room could be nego­tiated
to strike a blow for growth.
Also, the ACT requirement would be,
lowered to pacify the politicians in Ala­bama.
That coupled with the assembly
line technique of diploma rendering
would lessen the value of an Auburn
diploma.
The athletic department naturally
grows as a UAT style football building
ascencfs, as does an Olympic-size
swimming pool, an indoor tennis com­plex
and the works.
I think you get the picture of the first
choice.
Now the second.
The University sets an enrollment
limit (actually decreases enrollment) of,
say 16,500 or 17,000, and raises the ACT
requirement to, say, a 20.
Projects like the conference center
would be abandoned (a park perhaps),
with few, if any buildings constructed.
With the smaller student body, pres­ent
facilities would be appropriate to
handle class size and demands (goodbye
unable to assigns).
Stagnation would be the rule.
The athletic department would pour
money into the University's academic
program, augmenting teacher salaries
and curtailing the athletic department's
own maturity.
No lovely asphalt parking lots, new
buildings, nutty parking decks and the
like.
Basically in absolute contrast to cho­ice
one.
Now for the third option, which I
believe awards Auburn with the most
attractive aspects of both visions.
The Martin Administration and
Board of Trustees should gradually
decrease enrollment to a 16,500 to 17,000
figure the University can manage.
With a dropoff in the number of stu­dents,
more blacktop parking lots, park­ing
decks, generic class buildings, unat­tractive
CDV-style student apartments
and other traits synonymous with large
big-city universities (like UAB) could be
avoided.
The positive image Auburn has as the
"Lovliest Village on the Plains" with a
small town, and the college atmosphere
could be preserved.
With fewer students, teacher-student
ratios would be more desirable and
graduates would receive more personal
instruction and a diploma of greater
value.
The athletic department would have
to realize its role as an enhancer of aca­demic
excellence. Sports revenue con­tributed
to University budgets would
grant administrators adequate funding
during likely upcoming years of lean
budget appropriations to higher
education.
The added educational advantages of
a hotel-conference center could be
coupled with SDI research develop­ments
and an expanded library to result
in one of the South's most prestigious
universities. ^
The reason many of us came to
Auburn, small-town surroundings and
campus life would remain intact while
the school's academic reputation ele­vates
in stature.
Preferably a blueprint for Auburn's
future has been formed.
Without a vision, the University will
be reacting to circumstances instead of
creating them.

Visit with dentist AIDS proof
I keep hearing about AIDS, but I never
thought it would directly affect me.
(Notice I said affect, not infect).
Well, maybe I shouldn't say the actual
disease had an effect on me. I wouldn't
want people to get the wrong idea. I
guess I should say the precautions being
taken to prevent it. Yeah, that's what I
mean to say.
This revelation took place in the dent­ist's
office.
Twice a year, for as long as I can
remember, I've visited the dentist to
have my teeth cleaned. (Of course there
were times in my life when I was there
more than twice a year. In fact, I should
have paid rent for living in the waiting
room when I wore braces, and when I
had my wisdom teeth removed).
These biannual visits have always fol­lowed
the same basic pattern. About an
hour before my appointment, I start
brushing and flossing my teeth. Maybe
it's redundant to do this right before I get
them cleaned, but it makes me feel
better.
When I get to the office, I ring the little
bell and say, "Hi. I'm here." The recep­tionist
smiles and says, "Okay, have a
seat and the doctor will be with you in a
moment."
Then I sit down, pick up a magazine
(or in the earlier years, a Dr. Seuss book)
and wonder why Mama always fusses
about getting to an appointment on time
when I always end up waiting at least 15
minutes anyway. Thats an extra 15
minutes I could have used to floss my
teeth again.
About the time I get half-way through
a good article about Micheal J. Fox in
People, the receptionist comes to the
door and says, "All right, Linda, you can
come back now. First door on the right,"
I wonder "for a second if she is talking
to someone else, then I realize I'm the
only one in the room. There goes that
darn other name again. Whose idea was
it to call me by my middle name,
anyway?
I sit down in the big, soft chair and
wait again. "Can you find 10 tooth­brushes
in this picture?" asks a poster on
the wall. I can find nine, but the other
one completely alludes me.
By this time, I'm wishing I hadn't left
People in the waiting room.
When I've almost dozed off, enjoying
the solitude of the my little room and the
hypnotic sound of the drill in the next
room, the dental hygenist walks in.
It was at this point, in my last visit,
that I discovered how big a deal AIDS is
becoming, even in the small-town South.
I grew up believing dental hygenists
had to be pretty. I mean, that profession
must rank right up there with model,
actress and politician as far as looks go.
So in walks this pretty, blue-eyed blonde
wearing a surgical mask and rubber
gloves.
"But Mama said I was just supposed to
have my teeth cleaned," I say. Mother,
what have you gotten me into, I think.
"Oh, just a few precautions we're tak­ing
now," she says, "you know, with
everything that's going around these
days. Oh, I see you've had a fever blister.
Those are so painful."
"No, no I swear it's just a zit," I try to
answer in self-defense. "I don't have any
communicable diseases." But when I
open my mouth to talk, she stuffs it full
of mirrors and scrapers and oh, it's too
painful to go on.
I'm left helpless, to look up into her
wide, blue eyes, staring over that blue
mask, and gurgle mute responses to her
polite questions about school and
whether or not I've been flossing
regularly.
It's sad that people have to resort to
such measures, just to get their work
done, but I guess it's necessary, for her
protection and mine.
Oh, and when I finally got to see the
dentist, he looked in my mouth, asked
how my mother was doing and said,
"Looks good. See you in six months."
He gets paid for that?
Well, I guess he deserves it. If not for
going to school for all those years, then
for risking exposure to everybody's
germs. He didn't wear rubber gloves and
a mask.

Writer ragged out by t-shirt craze
Everyone who is sick of buying T-shirts,
stand up. Unless you are blind,
you have seen every color T-shirt this
week, with every type of slogan, and
every type of print on it. Let's bag this
craze and wear normal clothes again.
I really think I missed my calling.
Instead of spending my precious time
taking 20 hours of classes and writing
for this rag, I should be out there some­where
printing masses of shirts. T-shirts
that is. Do any of you know a male T-shirt
printer that is relatively unatt­ached?
(Sorry Todd, I've got to go where
the money is.)
I fortunately have only had to buy
three shirts since the quarter began, but
those were enough to make a serious
dent in my meager bank account. You
would think according to the laws of
supply and demand, that with so many
shirts being produced, we should be able
to buy their, for about a dollar a piece.
Maybe I'd better take Econ over again.
I overheard a T-shirt clad boy turn
down a request to buy yet another shirt
today. His excuse was that his mother
refused to send him any more money if,
all he was going to do was buy more!
T-shirts. Whoever you are, I sympathize.
I have found one use, at least, for a
burgundy campaign shirt I bought. It
matches the shade of a pair of my aero­bics
tights and is a great sweat absorber.
Another shirt I bought will probably
never see the outside of my bedroom. The
writing on it is plain old black, and the
words on it are unintentionally off-center.
I guess I'll wear that one around
whenever I give myself a Mudd facial.
(Whoever printed those, I don't really
want to meet you.)
Those T-shirts that originate in
Auburn do get around though. I saw a
little seven year-old black kid at the
Supermall in Huntsville over spring
break sporting one of last year's Greek
Week shirts. He looked about as Greek as
Brother Jim.
You can always spot an Auburn stu­dent
a mile away, just by the shirt he or
she is wearing.
The average student must buy at least
five T-shirts per year. That would mean
that by the time most of us graduate, we
have accumulated 20-plus shirts that
can only be worn with jeans or shorts.
Kind of makes one feel like a mini-
Imelda Marcos doesn't it; one won't do,
we must have 22.
This year I've seen some real creative
shirts as well as some shirts that I
wouldn't even dust the furniture with. If
I don't know a candidate, I'll decide who
to vote for based solely on his or her
campaign T-shirts as well as on the
number of them I see.
It stands to reason, does it not, that if a
candidate is an unsuccessful t-shirt
salesman, then he's not fit to grace the
halls of the SGA. Those people are the
future leaders of Alabama, as we all
know, and future leaders must success­fully
make themselves known through a
bit of T-shirt networking.
One question I have often thought of,
but never asked: what does one do with
the T-shirts of candidates that lost? Do
, you still wear them, or do you drop them
in the Goodwill basket?
We all know what people do with the
shirts of winners, they wear them until
the letters fade off, which might mean
that we see them for three or four years.
To paraphrase a frat boy I know: we
like to keep the shirts of our winners and
wear them around the house.
Yeah, well, that's as good a use as any.

Wallace's choice wise,
state needs fresh faces
Alabama government and politics are
never going to be the same again
because of Wallace's decision not to run
for governor.
After 25 years of dominating this
state, not only locally but nationally, I
think this state is ready for a change.
For Alabama to progress, this state
needs a new leader for representation in
the country. People, for too long, have
associated Alabama with Wallace, and
don't give Alabama the credit it
deserves.
Wallace did do a lot of good for the
state. He provided the common man
with a feeling of having a voice in polit­ics.
The junior college system, with
technical emphasis, has been strong
during his tenure.
Alabama can be proud of its medical
school at The University of Alabama in
Birmingham. Wallace has always sup­ported
medical advancements.
One of Wallace's proudest programs,
according to an aide for 35 years, Henry
Steagall, was the creation of the home-bound
program in the state budget.
An article in Tuesday's edition of the
Birmingham Post-Herald explained
that the program sends trained people
into homes to care for the disabled, such
as paraplegics and quadriplegics.
One thing that has always stricken
me as ironic is the black support Wallace
iUeult—<Mlmer*rmJQjt3QH
continues to receive.
Isn't this support for the same man
who says, "Segregation Forever," which
a nation will never forget. The black vote
won him his fourth term in 1982.
I have a hard time with politicians
who are inconsistent in their platforms.
There is a lot of hope for this state's
future with the current candidates run­ning
for governor. Alabama needs a new
face which will be a welcome sign of
improvement in a lot of people's eyes.
To bring about a more prosperous
economy, we need a better business cli­mate
to provide more opportunities for
employment and growth. It's necessary
to attract more industry to this state.
Strong political leadership in Mont­gomery
will cause this state to move
ahead in the direction it should.
Education needs to also be a top prior­ity
in this state. More funds need to be
appropriated for secondary and higher
education. We, as students, complain
about the tuition increase, but we need to
face the facts.
We are getting an exceedingly cheap
education. Even those students who are
paying out-of-state tuition aren't paying
that much compared to other higher
learning institutions. For the quality to
improve, it's going to take our support
too.
Since Wallace has made the choice not
to run again for governor, let us all take
an active part in working together for
the future of Alabama to make it a great
state in America.
Learn about the candidates that are
running for office, work for them and
v o t e . I t ' s p a r t of your civic
responsibility.

Change apathetic view of culture
WAlTuTHlSTIMS WE HIT THE OMKPOT-THlS SAYS PROPERTY
OF FflWMANP AMP MSlVh MARCOS,,.
Unopposed candidate grateful
for SGA campaigning reprieve
which has been known to split between
two candidates in other years, and when
one side lost, the groups would remain
split throughout the next year. A news­paper
needs to be cohesive, not warring
factions. I've had support from all sides,
which will lead to a much smoother year
as editor.
I've always wondered why The
Plainsman and Glomerata editors are
elected. Aren't these positions where
needed skill and experience are a must?
Editors are people who must know at
least the basic journalistic skills to even
get qualified for the election by the
Communications Board. But why sub­mit
these people to a popularity contest
to decide who's going to be editor? It's
not the way the editor of The New York
Times or Washington Post were
selected. For that matter, the people of
Marshall County, Ala., don't vote for the
editor of The Sand Mountain Reporter.
All of those other elected positions
should be just that. We elect the presi­dent
of the United States the same way
we elect the SGA president. Off-campus
senators are chosen the same
way U.S. senators earn their position.
But when was the last time someone
was elected professor, lawyer, dentist,
fireman, etc.? Governments elect lead­ers,
leaders of business and service earn
their position through experience and
knowledge.
What it boils down to is a popularity
contest, one that I have happily viewed
from both sides. You could have voted
for me, but in my case I got lucky. It
really didn't matter.
Should the Communications Board,
which governs publications and WEGL-FM,
select the editors the same way they
select Plainsman business managers
and WEGL-FM station managers?
Shouldn't the Journalism Department
and the staff of the respective publica­tions
have a say? Probably so.
Something should be done but proba­bly
won't as usual. I hope you went out
and voted in the SGA elections because
it's your voice in Auburn. I know I'm
extremely lucky to be running unop­posed.
But should I be running in a popu­larity
contest at all? Maybe I wouldn't
have been elected editor if someone was
running against me. Thank God for
small favors.
Chris Roush is an assistant news editor
for the Plainsman.
If you live in an apartment, they
knock on your door every 30 minutes and
make their pitch. They talk at fraternity
dinners, sorority chapter meetings,
organizational meetings, anywhere
they can find a group gathered.
They are the candidates for offices
held by Auburn students.
You know the ones. There's the SGA
president, vice president and treasurer,
Miss Auburn, Glomerata Editor and
various others.
Let's not forget The Plainsman editor,
for which I am a candidate.
And luckily the only candidate,
because I don't think I could have gone
through all of the campaigning every­body
else submitted themselves to.
Throwing balloons away and getting
people to sing songs about me is just not
the way I'd have gone about campaign­ing.
I like tie-dyed T-shirts and posters
saying, "I'm not forcing you, BUT
YOU'VE GOT NO OTHER CHOICE!"
Sunglasses were optional.
I'm lucky because I didn't have to drag
myself (along with at least two other
appropriately dressed people) around to
every function with a smile on my face
saying what I would do if elected. I was
lucky enough to go ahead and start mak­ing
those changes before I was elected.
Unopposed candidates get this luxury.
And I didn't have to burden my fra­ternity
brothers with the bill for my
campaign. Each one of them bought a
T-shirt (which was designed before I
knew I was running unopposed). That
was it. The posters were printed free.
Maybe I should pay them for free adver­tising
for wearing my shirts.
There were no campaign promises to
friends or groups. People running unop­posed
can do whatever they want. More
importantly, no smiling pictures of
yours truly taped to your door.
Probably most important of all was
the lack of friction at The Plainsman.

I can handle all the t-shirts and
bumper stickers that say "The game
isn't over until the short boy kicks" and
"I'd rather hula with Shula than pick
cotton with Bo," but I don't like the say­ing
that Bama fans use every year that
they beat us. Culture-25, Agriculture-23.
Maybe I don't like it because the truth
hurts. What kind of humanities and fine
arts does the University have?
Well, we have a great theater depart­ment,
but does anyone bother to actually
see the plays it puts on? Some of my
acquaintances (I can't force myself to
call them friends) don't even know
where Telfair Peet Theater is.
And we have a performing arts com­mittee
that brings orchestras, plays and
ballet troupes to Auburn for free. A defi­nite
plus for a mainly agricultural state
that is not known for its culture. But
again, the percentage of students who
take advantage of these activities is low.
So the logical thing to do is right this
great wrong and promote the humani­ties
and make Auburn a better place for
students. After all, a student should
observe all facets of the world around
him, not just engineering or marketing.
But the students don't care. It is evi­dent
in the apathy they display toward
the cultural opportunities that are
offered to them, and that no one bothers
to try to bring more culture to the Uni­versity.
But most appalling is the lack of
concern for things that directly involve !
their lives and curriculum.
The Auburn Circle is an example of
this. For you freshman and sophomores
who haven't see it, The Circle is a gen­eral
interest magazine that is published
and written by students every quarter.
Or it used to be.
Two years ago, The Circle distributed
itsilast issue for a while. Several things i
happened that somehow prevented the
magazine from being printed. So now
Auburn students are deprived of seeing
the fiction, poetry and illustrations of
other students.
For the past two years, The Circle has
been trying to get back on its literary feet
again. And for awhile it seemed that it
would. Then up crops another obstacle.
It can't get anyone to apply for the edi­tor's
position.
At the beginning of winter quarter, the
Communications Board solicited appli­cations
for the job and stated a Feb. 28
deadline for applications. Feb. 28 came
and went without any applications. The
comm. board moved the deadline to May
1 and tried again. Still no one has
applied.
Another literary magazine, Caesura,
tried to establish itself a couple of years
ago and didn't quite make it. Only one or
two issues got around to students. Is this
to be the fate of The Circle?
If history is any judge, yes. The stu­dents
will ignore it the same way they do
the Auburn Players and the Prague
Chamber Orchestra. And our reputation
as ignorant, redneck farmers will be
perpetuated in Tuscaloosa.
But we could do something about it.
Telfair Peet Theater could be packed
every time the doors open; bringing
more plays and events in an attempt to
feed the voracious appetites of Auburn's
culture-hungry. More students could
become interested in UPC and other
organizations that bring the fine arts to
Auburn. And some ambitious students
could become a part of the fine arts
themselves by editing a magazine that
caters to the potential writers and artists
and those that enjoy them.
Only when Auburn realizes that it is
not a well-rounded university, and
strives to change that image, can it
stand up and emerge from the shadow of
the University of Alabama's (supposed)
•finer institution of learning.
Then it will be Auburn-23, That Other
School-22.

Appropriate tips appreciated by waiters
Editor, The Plainsman:
Webster defines " g r a t u i t y " as
"something given voluntarily or beyond
obligation usually in return for or in
anticipation of some service."
People tip cab drivers, bell hops,
grocery boys, pizza deliverers, and—for
the purpose of this article—bartenders
and waiters.
General etiquette for service at a
restaurant is usually considered 15
percent of the total bill. This percentage
goes down some of course if the bill is
boosted by an expensive bottle of wine or
a large liquor purchase.
Some restaurants state on their menu
that 15 percent is already included in the
total bill "for the customer's
convenience". Whether or not this is
justifiable could be the subject of an
article in itself. In short, a gratuity (or
tip) is payment for a service given on a
voluntary basis.
And I am a waiter. Having been
working in a restaurant for almost three
years, I have seen almost every type of
customer.
For some customers, you just can't do
enough; for other customers, you could
spill a drink on them and still get a tip.
Customers come in different group sizes
too, from the couple out on a date to
twelve sorority girls—all with separate
checks no less.
Along with seeing many types of
customers, I have also worked with
many other waiters/bartenders. To be
quite frank, it is no wonder service is one
of the top-ranked complaints customers
have about the restaurant industry. I
have seen some bad waiters and, Lord
knows, I have had my bad days.
So why write an article on gratuity-tipping?
I want to praise those who do,
condemn those who don't, and, most of
all, inform those who just don't know
better. Understand, however, that I
believe service should be rewarded only
when it is good—even adequate. Bad
service has no leg to stand on.
Bartenders and waiters work hard.
However, only in rare cases does a
bartender/waiter receive over $2.01 per
hour from the restaurants he/she works
for. Therefore, most of the earnings are
from tips.
The money left on the table though is
not all straight-in-the-pocket for the
server. Some of that money goes to "tip
share"— a collection based on gross
sales which compensates other
restaurant employees. Also, tips are
taxable income and are claimed by the
employee at the end of each night.
So, the structure of restaurant
compensation is designed around the
expectancy of a gratuity—which by
definition is only a voluntary gesture.
Thus, a waiter who is "stiffed"
(restaurant jargon for being left no tip at
all) has actually lost money for waiting
on those particular customers.
To those people who make a special
effort to leave a gratuity, assuming good
service, thank you very much. To those
people who consciously don't leave a
gratuity after receiving good service, I
call to your attention this tacky lack of
social grace which probably com­plements
your general character.
And to those who don't know better, I
hope the next time you go to dine, you
"thank" your server relative to the job
he/she performed.
As for me, I don't wait tables for the
money (although it' is nice). I enjoy the
people. This article is for those
waiters/bartenders working their way
through school. Too many "stiffs" in one
quarter for these people make it difficult
to pay tuition and still have enough to
pay the rent.
There is a lot of truth in the saying "a
good meal can not make up for a bad
waiter but a good waiter can make up for
a bad meal."

Legalization of abortion central issue
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is being written in response
to every person who addressd the abor­tion
issue in the Plainsman last quarter.
Basically I think that everybody has
missed the point. The only issue here is
the legalization of abortion, and what is
best for our society as a whole, not
whether or not abortion is murder.
At the end of last quarter, Michael
Tinker proved quite graphically that
abortion is by no means anybody's
favorite choice as a birth control
method; but whether he knew it or not,
he also managed to effectively prove
why abortion should be kept legal.
I do not think that there is any one
woman out there who would look for­ward
to having an abortion, but then
again there are certainly a lot of women
out there who feel that they must get an
abortion. How they go into that situa­tion,
and why they how feel that they
need the abortion performed is of no
consequence anymore.
The only matter of importance at this
point is that they are able to get the abor­tion
performed safely. Tinker's excerpt*
from what I assume are safe, clean, rep­utable
abortion clinics are gruesome
enough.
Can you imagine what they might
read like if abortion was made illegal
again, and women did not have places to
go to get aboritons performed safely?!
Just because something is illegal does
not mean that people will not do it, and if
abortion* is made illegal again, not only
will we find babies still being killed, but
we will also find the mothers dead, or
badly mutilated. The anti-abortionists
are trying to pervert this into a moral
issue, when in reality it is and always
will be a social issue. We have to do what
is best for society as a whole.
In this instance, it means choosing
between the death of one unborn baby,
or of one unborn baby and its mother. It
is without a doubt an ugly choice we are
faced with, but I think an obvious one.
That is also not to mention the fact that
nobody on earth can prove the exact
moment a fetus becomes a live human
being. At the moment all we can do is
speculate.
If the anti-abortionists need some­thing
to keep them busy they should try
attacking the problem at the point of
conception, instead of imposing their
moral beliefs on us.
Let them stand on the corner handing
out prophylactics, and birth control pills
instead of hanging ridiculous signs on
their children. Either that, or let them
handle the problem at the other end by
pledging to adopt and properly care for
all of these unwanted children.
In other words, I wish that the anti-abortionists
would either put up or shut
up. And scare tactics like Tinker's article
are even more ridiculous. Any moder­ately
well-informed person knows that
the vast majority of abortions are per­formed
before the end of the first three
months of pregnancy, prior to the possi­ble
occurance of such gruesome scenes
as he related.
If abortion is made illegal again, the
anti-abortionists will be happy and con­tent,
because then he or she will feel the
problem solved, and be able to forget
about the whole thing.
Unfortunately the problem will not be
solved just by putting a law in the books
stating that abortion is illegal, and I do
not think that the anti-abortionists
really understand that. With abortion
illegal, only rich women will still be
able to get abortions performed safely.
But what about poor women who just
happen to constitute the majority out
there? They will end up having to go to
back-alley butchers for the abortions,
and no law, or moral fortitude from the
righteous sector will be able to stop
them.
Can we allow that to happen? Should
we allow that to happen? HELL NO!

ANNOUNCEMENT
LOGGING ON
£ WSFA-TV donated valuable microcomputers, software
Computer knowledge
to help students learn
By-Michael Malone
Staff Writer
Speech communication and
marketing majors at Auburn can
now gain first-hand experience in
the use of microcomputers and
software to sell advertising time.
On April 7, Lynn Campbell
from Softpedal Inc., Atlanta,
demonstrated the use of micro-software
to Dr. Steven Padgett's
1 p.m. class.
Auburn is one out of 25 colleges
which has received the new soft­ware.
The system, called $EL-A-VISION,
was donated in the
n a m e of WSFA-TV of
Montgomery.
Campbell noted that Auburn
was the first college to have the
computer facilities to demon­strate
the material.
The system will be used as a
teaching aid to instruct students
how market research helps gen­erate
revenue for television sta­tions.
It incorporates Nielson and
Arbitron data, a station's pro­gram
schedule and advertising
rates.
Sales proposals and rating
research, once calculated manu­ally
or on costly time-consuming
larger computer systems, can
now be completed in minutes.
Nearly 70 television stations
and advertising agencies in the
U.S. and Canada have purchased
the system since its introduction
in May 1984. Auburn professors
are placing more emphasis on the
system as a learning tool.
Speech communication and
marketing majors will use the
system's trending option for
research projects on audience
analysis. In broadcast sales
courses, they will use the auto­matic
packaging option to create
packages according to a client's
budget and demographic
requirements.
Padgett pointed out that the
software will be used in the
broadcasting managing classes
and "that a whole month is
devoted to the ratings of TV
shows."
Internships are available for
interested students. Campbell
will return to Auburn to talk with
the business department.
Fashion, Inc. presents a slide
presentation on American ready-to-
wear fashions of '86 on April
14 and 15 in Spidle Hall Audito­rium

System to help turn ideas into reality
By Dawn Harrold
Staff Writer
The College of Business, in
cooperation with the Alabama
Cooperative Extension Service,
will soon begin a program to
incubate small businesses in
order to decrease their risk of
failure.
David Arnold, project director
and a member of Auburn's
accounting and finance faculty,
said the program will assist
entrepreneurs in putting their
ideas into reality.
Arnold said the program will
give new businesses technical
and financial management sup­port
from the resources at the
University.
"By far, about 80-90 percent of
all new entrepreneurs never get
off the ground or fail within the
first five years," Arnold said,
"simply because they don't have
the business expertise."
The business program provides
special care within a controlled
and predictable environment, in
the way that a baby would be
taken care of in an incubator.
After the business is able to sup­port
itself, it is taken from the
controlled environment.
Arnold said there is no set time
frame that is expected for a busi­ness
to last in the incubator pro­gram.
"But as a guidance, we
would like to see them graduate
in three to five years," he added.
According to Arnold, the
development of the program
came from a realization that the
failure rate in new entrepreneurs
was exceedingly high, and
between 1980-84 there was a real­ization
that almost 95 percent of
new employment in the entire
country came from small
businesses.

A solution to solve the confu­sion
concerning the lane indica­tor
lights at the Wire Road and
Shug Jordan intersection was
discussed last Fall among Uni­versity
Police Chief Jack Walton,
Physical Plant Director Stanley
Drake and an Alabama State
Highway Commission engineer.
Motorists have complained of
having difficulty seeing the traf­fic
signals at the intersection dur­ing
night driving. Many times
these motorists cross the inter­section
when they do not have the
right of way. Mistakes of this sort
have caused several accidents
over the past year, according to
Walton.
Walton said the lane indicator
lights have been a source of con­fusion
since they were installed
in July of 1984. Motorists are not
the only people confused.
Don Brumbelow of the Physi­cal
Plant, who has responsibility
for the operation and mainte­nance
of the lights, was never
provided with the technical
manuals. As a result, he said he is
unsure how to program the light
sequence.
Currently, the Alabama High­way
commission dispatches a
crewman to reprogram the light
sequence when the University
requests it; however, these crew-!
men do not have operating man- te
uals either, said Brumbelow. Tom I
Espy, the Alabama State High­way
chief engineer, was in
charge when the system was
installed.

Does it carry weight?
Study researches pumping iron to reduce stress
By Earl Thaxton
Staff Writer
Millions of Americans, both
men and women, do it everyday.
It's a major part of most athletes'
training programs. Yet, little
research is done in the field.
That's where the National
Strength Research Center at
Auburn comes in.
"It's obvious that a lot of people
are interested in strength train­ing,
and there is a need for that
type of research," Mike Stone
said, director of the center. Des­pite
the need for more research,
the center is the only place in
A m e r i c a where c o n s i s ­tent
research is done, he said.
Founded in the fall of 1979, the
center conducts a wide variety of
tests to determine weight train­ing's
effects and to find more
p r o d u c t i v e t r a i n i ng
methods.
Stone said a major finding of
the center is that the use of
"appropriate, high-volume (high
number of repetitions) weight
training can alter cardiovascular
risk factors." In other words, this
type training can "reduce the risk
of heart attacks," he said.
In fact, high-volume training
has effects similar to those of
jogging upon the blood choles­terol
levels, said Stone.
He said some studies have
shown that people should
increase the volume of training
and increase large muscle exer­cises
such as squats. Such train­ing
will improve overall strength
while burning more calories than
less strenuous exercises, Stone
said.
Weight training can also
reduce stress, "not necessarily
emotional stress, although that's
a part of it, but physical stress,"
he said. Training may "reduce
the stress of daily living."
He cites studies which show
assertiveness levels increase
among people in weight training
programs. Training may also
change the way individuals per­ceive
their appearance, Stone
said.
Studies of training methods
have shown that free weights
(barbells and dumbells) offer
advantages over machines (such
as Nautilus) for persons wanting
to increase overall strength,
power and balance.
Free weights permit more flex­ibility
in exercises, and they
require use of auxiliary muscle
groups that are neglected when
using machines.
Stone identified some misconcep­tions
people have concerning
weight training, and how remov­ing
these fallacies has increased
the popularity of weight training.
First, there is the "muscle
bound" fallacy. Stone said this
belief, that weight lifters will
become stiff, uncoordinated and
slow, is dying out. This idea is
just not true, he said.
Almost all athletic teams (at
the college, high school and pro
levels) now use weight training
as part of their overall training
program, he said.
A second misconception is that
women involved in weight train­ing
will gain large muscle masses
and therefore be less feminine.
This is hot necessarily true, he
said.
Stone said this idea has also
began to die out. "Since I've been
teaching (1977), the number of
women taking weight training
has increased every year," he
said.
What's ahead for the National
Strength Research Center? A
study on overtraining is now
being conducted, Stone said.
"Everyone agrees that it (over­training)
exists, but it is difficult
to pin down the symptoms"
before it's too late, and the ath­lete's
performance is affected, he
said.
The center will continue its
research on both the psychologi­cal
and physiological aspects of
weight training in hopes of better
understanding this increasingly
popular activity. OLYMPIC HOPEFUL?

SUIT HIM UP!
Sullivan assumes a familiar position during spring practice
By Chuck Cole
Sports Editor
Auburn has changed a bit in
the past 15 years. A few buildings
have been erected and enrollment
has increased. Bo Jackson is the
center of adulation now; in 1971
southerners were grudgingly
beginning to accept the black
a t h l e t e in SEC B S^ISSFS
f o o t b a l l . Some
things were meant
to change.
Some t h i n gs
were not. Visions of
Sullivan to Beasley
still emerge in the ggaaa^L——as
dreams of Auburn fans. Sullivan,
the heroic leader of so many vic­tories,
will not be forgotten. Spi-raling
footballs no longer fly
through the air as they did for his
three electric seasons under the
center, but the memories linger.
Pat Sullivan has returned to
the birthplace of his gridiron
legend this spring, 15 years after
he won the 1971 Heisman
Trophy. He's not the headline
maker this time-he is an assist­ant
coach in charge of quarter­backs.
"I'm just as happy as I can be,"
said Sullivan of his new job after
Saturday's heated scrimmage.
"I'm getting paid for what I love
to do."
I got just as excited going out to my first
scrimmage as a coach as I did when I was
a player. -Sullivan
iWmOMTOaMWm.MWWWM'.
It's not uncommon for old
athletic heroes to return to the old
school where their skills were
honed. Their return, however,
isn't always as pleasant as their
memories.
Sullivan doesn't appear'to be
back for the memories. "Coach­ing
is something I always wanted
to do," he said. "It was just some­thing
I kept putting off." After a
floundering pro career, Sullivan
has spent recent years as a suc­cessful
Birmingham business­man.
The happily-married father
of three has remained in contact
with football as a radio com­mentator
for Auburn games.
Sullivan was asked if he pri­vately
disagreed with any of
^ - Auburn's past of­fensive
strategies.
"I was a fan, just
like everybody else
in the stadium,"he
said. "I don't think
a fan can know
what plays to call.
It's unfair. Coaches sit in front of
films for hours every day."
Coaching is what Sullivan
expected it to do. "You get the
relationship with the players.
You teach and see the execution
and you get a sense of self satis­faction,"
he said. "I got just as

NCAA's three-point
goal awards players
for the ordinary shot
College basketball vs. professional basketball.
Each uses Naismith's original blueprint, but the
similarities don't go much further. Most of us like it
that way.
With that in mind, was the NCAA rules commit­tee
guilty of unnecessary imitation when it insti­tuted
an award of three points for shots taken from
beyond a 19 foot, nine inch perimeter?
Three-pointers are exciting, some say. It's thril­ling
to see balls drop from the sky miraculously into
the basket at game's end. Upsets and underdogs are
what America wants.
It is a little man's rule in a big man's game and
that can be good. It is fun to watch Scott Skiles
baffle athletically superior players with shots
launched from 25 feet out. But such bombs will con­tinue,
with or without a three-point rule.
Purists remain adamant
Purists remain adamant in their disapproval of it.
They are armed with statistics to back up their con­tentions,
and one stands out. The rule was attemp­ted
in several conferences on a trial basis three
seasons ago. It was slam-dunked.
The rule has been successful in the NBA, I guess.
Its popularity is difficult to measure; its impact is
minimal. That's greatly because the NBA three-point
line extends a good three or four feet past the
top of the key in front of the basket. It slopes into
each corner of the court, leaving a space barely wide
enough for Charles Barkley's sneakers at the base­line.
The NBA rule's saviour is its sheer difficulty.
Attempts don't usually come except in desperation,
when almost all hopes of victory are gone.
NBA rule serves its purpose
The NBA rule is one that serves its purpose.
Excitement is added to the game without the freak
show image.
The NCAA line will be much closer to the goal-19
feet, 9 inches away. Chuck Person got fat on a
steady diet of 20-foot jumpers last year. Mark Price
did the same. A 20-footer is natural for these guys, a
part of their normal offensive repertoire. The idea of
a three-pointer should be to award a player for the
extraordinary. It shouldn't be passed out like a
Christmas gift.
The most popular excuse for the three-point rule is
that it adds excitement. It's a valid argument.
Comebacks are encouraged by the new rule, and the
final two minutes of most games will have an added
dimension. Coaches will have more options availa­ble
to them It's not needed, though. The negatives
outweigh the positives.
Distinction should be made
If NCAA brass is going to distinguish between
regular shots and shots worth three points, it
should make the distinction obvious. Perhaps a 22-
or 23-footer would be suitable, but not anything
near 20 feet from the basket.
Gimmicks have become popular in sports, mainly
in the professional ranks. Three-point lines draw
attention. It's the old cereal box theory. Put a little
toy prize on the box for everybody to see, giving the
customer incentive to buy.
The college game reaches new heights of popular­ity
each year. Its appeal has surpassed that of the
NBA in the minds of many, because money can't
buy enthusiasm. Fans buy it for what it is, not for
any sideshow.
New looks can stimulate, if they are used at the
right times. But college basketball doesn't need
innovation right now- Especially not a 19 foot, nine
inch innovation.
Wildcat contest
ESPN bound By Charles Davidson
Staff Writer
The Auburn Tigers (9-6 and
tied for third in the SEC, 20-10
overall) will host conference rival
Kentucky this weekend in a
three-game series that will be
highlighted by the Tigers' first
n a t i o n a l television (ESPN)
appearance Monday at 7 p.m.
Single games will also be
played Saturday at 6 and Sunday
at 1:30.
AU Coach Hal Baird said his
program could benefit from the
coast-to-coast exposure for sev­eral
reasons. "It could really be
big," he said. "National signing
day is Wednesday, so it could be
in time to have some bearing
there, and it'll give a guy like
Paul Foster a chance to showcase
his talent."
The Tiger centerfielder leads
the conference in hitting at a tor­rid
.479, tops his team in homers
with nine and is second to Mark
Sayers with 34 RBI. Sayers' total
of 37 ranks second in the SEC to
Georgia's Roger Miller's 43. Say­ers
is AU's number two hitter at
.393 and Rock Wilson's next at
.350.
Of Foster, Baird said, "He just
keeps it going. I don't know how
much more the guy can do. What
degree of success we've enjoyed
in these two seasons has been so
much paralleled by what he's
done. He's been the guy we've Defense
looked to for two years."
The talent ESPN had planned
to feature, however, was the
media magnet who has probably
played his last baseball. "Bo was
without a doubt the biggest rea­son
we were going to get the TV
exposure," Auburn's second-year
coach said. "But a decent perfor­mance
should give us an oppor­tunity
to appear again later."
Monday's matchup, which
Mark Chapman (4-2, 3.92 ERA)
will pitch for AU, is one of six
regular-season college games
ESPN is airing this season.
Ron Siwa (3-2, 6.37) and either
Gregg Olson (4-0, 4.79) or Stacy
Jones, who boasts the SEC's best
ERA at 1.72, will start the other
games.
The Wildcats bring a lackluster
4-11 league and 14-16 overall
record to Plainsman Park, but
they've won their last seven,
among them a sweep of Vander-bilt
last weekend.
"Kentucky is starting to get
things together," Baird says.
"They've got a young team and
are trying to make a strong run
toward the end of this season to
carry over to next year."
Youth dominates the pitching
staff. Two freshmen righthand­ers
from Bowling Green, Ky.,
Tom Deller (2-2, 4.46 ERA) and
Doug Sutton (1-2, 4.91), will start
games against AU as will

Junior hurler Mark Chapman looks to catcher for signal
Burger and his offensive mates
struggle while defense looks strong
By Chris Linville
Assistant Sports Editor
After only one full week of practice and oneintra-squad
game, it's tough to make an evaluation of the
Auburn football team.
Using the standard coaches line, however, it's
safe to say that the Tigers have made some pro­gress,
especially on defense, but that they still have
a long way to go.
"The defense has the advantage," said Coach Pat
Dye after last Saturday's scrimmage. "I'm really
pleased with the effort and contact on defense. It
appeared as good as we've ever seen."
The linebacker position may be evolving into a
strong point for the Tigers. Last year's starters
Russ Carreker and Edward Phillips return along
with Ray Corhen, who has also seen action. Joe
Foreman, a freshman who was redshirted last sea­son,
and Kurt Crain, a senior who also sat out last
season after transferring from Memphis State,
have displayed promise and are looking to see a lot
of action this fall.
The secondary played with intensity and enthu­siasm
during the scrimmage. Tom Powell, Carlos
Cheatom, Kevin Porter and Shan Morris delivered
HANDLING THE FUNDAMENTALS Photo,™*.* J.y s.«.o,.
Sled driving drill favorite among football coaches, probably not players
some memorable shots during the contest.
The offense has made some progress, but for now,
it appears to be somewhat behind the defense. Jeff
Burger, Pat Washington's heir apparent, looked
good at times, but also showed some effects of off­season
rustiness.
"Jeff did some good things," said Dye, "but he's
not ready to play yet."
Split end coach Larry Blakeney, who will play a
large role in directing Auburn's offense in the
absence of a coordinator, offered no shocking com­ments
about the performance of the offense, basi­cally
saying that the unit was learning ™me new
things and that some of the adjustments w iuld take
time.
"We're pretty satisfied (with the offense)," said
Blakeney. "The players have a good idei of what
we're trying to do. They're having some problems
with the new stuff, which is to be expected."
He said the offense was fairly
