Math split to have minimal effect on classes
By Bob Murdaugh
Assistant News Editor
Professors James R. Wall and George A. Koz-lowski,
heads of Auburn's new math departments,
reported Wednesday that they are minimizing
effects the recent split will have on undergraduate
courses.
Wall, head of Department 1—Algebra, Combina­torics
and Analysis, said a search committee will
hire a coordinator of undergraduate mathematics,
to direct registration, scheduling and internal
affairs for freshmen, sophomores and juniors
enrolled in math courses. Advertisements will
appear in Notices of the American Mathematical
Society and Focus, the Math Association of Ameri­ca's
newsletter. Promotional material will also be
mailed to more than 1,000 U.S. colleges and
universities.
Search committee members are Professor Robert
E. Kribel, acting head of the newly formed College
of Science and Mathematics; Wall; Kozlowski, head
of Department A—Foundations, Analysis and
Topology; Professor Jack W. Rogers Jr.; and Asso­ciate
Professor C.E. Robinson.
Undergraduate math students currently fill 400-
500 sections.
"As far as most undergraduate mathematics,
students will hardly be able to make a distinction
between types of instruction because all of the
courses are taught with textbook," said Kozlowski.
"For the upper level 520 sequence, Analysis I, II and
III, students will have to choose which teacher they
want, because there will be some teaching by the
standard method and some by the Socratic
method."
Wall explained, "The standard method, which my
department fully favors, is taught with a textbook.
Students are lectured and given instruction and
examples. This style of teaching differs from the
Socratic method since it (Socratic method) requires
the student to learn on his own without a textbook,
learning solely with what is in his head."
The Socratic style "doesn't go along with the pur­pose
of a university," continued Wall. "The univer­sity
should pass on cumulative knowledge to stu­dents.
In classes where the other method (Socratic)
is used, you're not exposed to others' knowledge."
Kozlowski stressed that "It's absolutely false that
if members of my department (Department A) are

wins race
After a neck-to-neck race with
Lt. Governor Bill Baxley on
Tuesday, Attorney General
Charlie Graddick is apparantly
the winner of the state's demo­cratic
gubernatorial nomination.
Although election night's
results were close enough to keep
Baxley from conceding the his­torical
race, Graddick has
claimed victory.
The Lieutenant Governor's
race landed Republican Jim Fol-som
Jr. as winner over Democrat
John Teague.
The State Treasurer's office

Library to
computerize
check-outs
By Pam Hartley
Staff Writer
Starting fall quarter, checking
out library books will be as easy
as the check-out line at the
supermarket. A new computer­ized
circulation and check-out
system is set to be implemented
fall quarter, and "Time as well as
accuracy will be improved tre­mendously,"
said Bobby Hollo-way,
assistant University librar­ian
for circulation and techno­logical
services.
Student ID cards will include a
computer bar code this fall, and it
will be necessary to use these
when checking out books.
A laser scanner, much like the
kind used in supermarkets, will
read the ID code and the bar code
of each book the patron checks
out. It will then be automatically
posted in the computer on that
person's account.
"Check-out time will be reduced
to seconds," said Holloway.
"Accuracy of check-out will be
improved tremendously because
we won't have to read everyone's
handwriting," he added.
Another benefit of the new sys­tem
is that it will enable students
to tell which books are checked
out by simply looking on the
computer terminal.
The new system will benefit the
library staff as well. "A lot of the
drudgery as far as card filing and
doing statistics by hand will be
eliminated," said Holloway.

Approximately 900 to 1200
books are checked out each day
from Ralph Draughon, and this
number is expected to increase.
"Our circulation has increased
tremendously since we installed
the first stages of the computer
system, and I think it will
increase further with this addi­tion,"
said Holloway.
Holloway said they expect to
begin the bar coding procedure
about July 15."Any book that's
been added to our collection since
1975 will be bar coded," he said.
Some of the older books are not on
line in the computer, so they can't
be coded yet, he explained.
Oriental languages
to be offered fall
By Bob Murdaugh
Assistant News Editor
For students interested in
speaking Chinese or Japanese,
three courses will be offered Fall
quarter, according to English
Department Head W.B. Hitch­cock
Jr. and Foreign Languages
Head Henry C. Helmke.
Three visiting instructors from
China will teach classes while
polishing their English next
quarter, said Hitchcock. Their
visit will be part of a faculty and
student exchange program with
Hunan University.
Hitchcock and Helmke June 20
reported on their recent trip to
China at a meeting of the Third
World Interest Group (TWIG).
The two faculty members con­firmed
that next quarter's foreign
visitors will notice cultural dif­ferences
and similarites between
China and the U.S.
During last year's excursion
with four other Auburn represen­tatives
and three wives, Hitch­cock
and Helmke toured Beijing
(Old Peking), where they saw the
Forbidden Palace.
"The Chinese are learning
from us, polishing their tourist
attractions with souvenir shops,"
commented Helmke. "We were
told that there is even a western
toilet."
New high-rise buildings are
replacing substandard dwel­lings,
according to Helmke. Peo­ple
are operating private enter­prises,
and "bicycles are all over
the place."
The Chinese were "gracious
hosts during our trip," continued
Helmke. "Of course there were
the typical rice dishes. Biscuits
were gummy because they were
steamed, and soup, unlike what
we were used to, was served at the
end of meals.sometimes."
The nine venturing Americans
toured six educational institu­tions
in central China, according
to Hitchcock. Beside Hunan, the
group went to Hubei University,
Wuhan University ("equivalent
to our modern Ivy League
schools), Academy of Agricul­ture,
Agriculture University and
Central China Institute of
Engineering.
The wives visited a campus
where they were entertained by
children and ballet. A master of
ceremonies, responding to ques­tions
about his impressive ability
to speak English, said he had
received four years (four hours
each day) of language instruction
in China.
Physical restoration was evi­dent
at Hunan University, now
celebrating its 1010th anniver­sary.
Golden roofs and white­washed
courtyards attracted
Hitchcock's attention. "Hunan
University is one of the few insti­tutions
in China without walls
around them," said Hitchcock.
The English professor added
that Chinese colleges require
extensive examinations for
admission. "Students are
assigned to a university and then
assigned to jobs afterward. I
noticed that their universities
have many reading rooms; I wish
we had more here."
Before Hitchcock and Helmke's
presentation, Professor Paul
Starr announced that TWIG's
next meeting will be July 9. Asso­ciate
Professor Bryan L. Duncan
from the Department of Fisheries
will speak on private voluntary
organizations and development.
TWIG meetings are open to all
students and faculty members.

James Hammersmith of the
English Department and Robert
Lishak of the Zoology-Wildlife
Department received Auburn's
Burlington Northern Faculty
Achievement Awards for 1986.
The awards were presented to
the professors at June gradua­tion
ceremonies. In addition to
the honor of receiving the award,
each received a $3,000 prize.
Burlington Northern Inc.
funds the Auburn program as
part of a national program cover­ing
31 states. The Auburn pro­gram,
which began only last
year, recognizes two outstanding
faculty members. Thomas Phil­lips
of the Computer Science
Department and Lawrence
O'Toole of the Political Science
Department were the first recip­ients
of the awards.
The Burlington program
acknowledges teacher and scho­lar
excellence among faculty
members. The program tries to
stimulate effective teaching and
incite outstanding teachers to
become even better teachers.
Each department nominates
one person for the awards. A
representative campus commit­tee
then judges the nominees. The
committee includes students,
administrators and faculty.
Hammersmith is best known
for his in-depth courses on Sha­kespearean
literature. Although
the courses are demanding, they
are popular among the students.
"Shakespeare was a genius;
Hammersmith in his lectures
comes near that level," said one
student. _
In addition to teaching, Ham­mersmith
served on the editorial
staff of the "Southern Humani­ties
Review" and published arti­cles
in several professional jour­nals.
He was named Outstanding
Teacher in Arts and Sciences in
1983-84.
Like Hammersmith, Lishak's
courses are popular among the
students. John Prichett, chair­man
of the Zoology-Wildlife
Department, said Lishak's
enthusiasm inspires students to
work, and learn.
Lishak developed a teacher
training program for graduate
teaching assistants in Auburn's
biology program. His research on
teaching techniques helped him
develop the program.

willing to teach effectively."

routine field, but for now we need
closer instruction."

"The type of teaching technique
would affect my choice of classes.
I like for teachers to help and

To bridge gap
Daron named for Ascent of Man
By Allison Smith
Carol Daron, assistant profes­sor
of English, was recently
named coordinator of Auburn's
Ascent of Man program by Vice
President for Academic Affairs
William Brandt
The program, which consists of
three, 3-hour courses, is based on
a 13-part British film series writ­ten
and narrated by the late
Jacob Bronowski. Bronowski
was an eminent mathematician,
philosopher, dramatist arid
science historian.
Bronowski's films and text
present a history of man's scien­tific
and technological achieve­ments.
The history combines
scientific disciplines with the
humanities.
"The Ascent of Man program
essentially is designed to bridge
the gap between the two cultures
— the sciences and the humani­ties,"
Daron said.
During the courses students
meet once a week to see a film and
hear a lecture. Later they meet
again to discuss the film, lecture
and readings with instructors.
Various faculty members assist
with the discussions.
Daron said the program
allowed extensive contact
among the faculty.
Brandt said that the faculty
helped him select Daron as the
new program coordinator. Daron
will assume her new responsibili­ties
as coordinator at the end of
summer quarter.
Math.
teaching a course, they will
always be teaching by the
Socratic method. Separation of
math faculty for the two depart­ments
began with two small
nuclei of faculty members-those
who tolerate the Socratic method
and those who do not tolerate it.
The remaining members had to
choose sides."
"Before coming to Auburn
University, I taught by the
standard method at University of
Washington," recalled Koz-lowski.
"At Auburn University, I

EDITORIAL BOARD OPINIONS
Say it ain't so, Bo
Well, the guessing game is finally
over.
Bo Jackson, 1986 Heisman
Trophy winner, has finally
announced that he will trade his
football helmet and a reported $7
million offer from the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers for a baseball cap and
an estimated $200,000 a year offer.
The big question on the stunned
minds of thousands of football fans
is: Why did he do it?
Jackson's response so far? "I don't
care what people think. I'm always
going to do opposite of what the pub­lic
thinks, just to make them sit up
and swallow their Adam's apples. I
did what Bo wanted to do."
By taking the Kansas City Roy­als'
up on their offer, Jackson finds
himself in a familiar situation —
answering charges that he didn't
and still doesn't have the heart to
play football.
Jackson was quoted this week as
saying football was filled with too
many uncertainties. "You never
know what'll happen out there on
the field. You're just out there taking
one play at a time. The next one
could be your last."
He's got a point. Professional
football players can be on top of the
sport one day and suffer a career-ending
injury the next. Former
Auburn running back William
Andrews can attest to that.
Since beginning his career at
Auburn four years ago, Jackson has
thrilled us with his incredible
athletic prowess both on the football
field and on the baseball diamond.
He has brought more national
attention to the University than any
other individual.
Although the thought of never
again seeing number 34 going over
the top for a touchdown, or dodging
defenders for a sixty yard gain is
sobering, we look forward to an
exciting major league career for
Jackson.
Good luck Bo.
On Tuesday's election
Without a doubt, the state of Ala­bama
has just gone through of of the
most bitter and hard-fought guber­natorial
campaigns in it's history.
The race earned national atten­tion
because of Governor George
Wallace's i absence, j but it gained
national notoriety because of the
kind of campaign that was run.
Much has been said about mud-slinging
these past few months. The
1986 democratic governor's primary
was filled with few promises, but
much name-calling, scandle and
political rhetoric.
It was probably the first cam-,
paign in a while in which the labels
"bald-faced liar" and "coward" were
used so frequently. One wonders if
the democratic party will be the
same after the smoke has cleared.
Going into Tuesday's election, it
was impossible to call a winner.
Both Baxley and Graddick were
claiming the edge. The race was too
close to call until the its end.
On Tuesday, Attorney General
Charlie Graddick claimed an upset
victory over Lt. Governor Bill Bax­ley,
the man who had been consi­dered
Governor George Wallace's
heir-apparent.
It remains to be seen whether the
political bickering and personal
attacks that marked this year's gov­ernor's
race are to. become the norm
for campaigns in this state. In this
race, unfortunately, many of the
important issues got lost along the
way.
Graddick's successful campaign
proved two things worthy of men­tion.
A gubernatorial candidate can
still be elected in the state of Ala­bama
with little or no black support
and Alabamians want a conserva­tive
governor in Montgomery.
Throughout his campaign, Grad­dick,
who will probably become the
next governor of Alabama, prom­ised
that his administration will
turn Alabama in a new direction. He
calls Alabama the greatest state in
the nation and the one with the
greatest potential. Apparently the
people of Alabama believed him.

Reagan on wrong side of history
Siona
CARPENTER§ >•'"; *
Syndicated columnist Anthony Lewis
posed an interesting question last week.
"If 1,600 white people had been killed
in South Africa in the last year and a
half, would Ronald Reagan do nothing
but murmur ambivalent regrets?" he
asked.
"Would Reagan do nothing," Lewis
continued, "if a small black minority
used totalitarian methods to keep all po -
liticalpower?If it rounded up thousands
of whites, cut off their telephones,
silenced the press? If it mocked Ameri­can
diplomacy?"
Probably not.
Reagan, president of a country which
ironically celebrates the 100th anniver­sary
of its most previous symbol of free­dom-
next week, refuses to agree to
harsher sanctions against the South
Africans.
We all know, I suppose,that on June
12, the South African governemt
imposed a nationwide state of emer­gency
authorizing sweeping police
power. Tough new security legislation
extends those powers. One of the bills
allows detention for 180 days without
trial.
In other words, police can pick up
anyone suspected of subversion, hold
them for as much as six months without
filing charges, having a hearing or
allowing visits from family or lawyers.
At the end of the six months, police can
extend the detention for as long as they
want.
Yet Reagan refuses to act.
Conservatives say South Africa needs
transition to a one-man-one-vote system
in which the nation's black population is
represented. Most everyone agrees with
that thought.
But most of the world's free countries
aren't buying South African claims that
the government "committed to negotiat­ing
a new constitution for South Africa
which would include all the people of
South Africa, regardless of racial color."
Most, that is, but riot the United States
of America.
As conservatives point proudly to
"concessions", such as the repeal of the
mixed-marriages act and the lifting of
the much-hated pass laws, the South
African government is extending its
totalitarian terror.
Of course, we don't know about most
of the brutality occuring in South Africa
because the nationwide state of emer­gence,
most press freedom. So goes
another of vital ingredients of
democracy.
The country's white minority has seen
that regarldless of what sweeping, bru­tal
tactics it employs against its black
majority, it gets no response from the
U.S.
Economic sanctions may not strike
down apartheid, but it may jolt the
South African government into nego­tiating
change with influential blacks.
It may be the only way to save the
country.
As Sen. Edward Kennedy puts it, "Np
matter what the South African govern­ment
does, no matter how many inno­cent
people are killed, how many neigh­boring
countries are invaded, how ir&iny
children are tortured...the administra­tion
clings to a bankrupt policy that puts
the United States on the wrong side of
history and human rights in South
Africa."
It's certainly not the first time the
United States has sided on the wrong
side of history.
Between bites of hot dogs, apple pie
and gulps of beer next Friday, maybe we
should take a few minutes to think about
the millions of South African blacks
who can only dream about being free in
their own country.

Soviet Union wants a benefit two
Kim
BEST
Last year there was Farm Aid, Live
Aid, Band Aid and Amnesty Aid, to
name a few. This summer rumors are
flying that Farm Aid II is in the works.
But the most interesting aid proposition
is one on the drawing board for those
poor radiated Russians...are you ready
for this? Chernobyl Aid II.
Chernobyl Aid II? When was Cherno-bly
Aid I? According to Newsweek this
concert in question was held last month
sometime. Well, I guess Soviet leaders
must not have thought it important to let
anybody-else.in the world, know about
Chernobyl Aid. Kind of like they didn't
think it was important to let the world
know about their nuclear reactor blow­ing
its top in April.
I wonder what bands played at Cher­nobyl
Aid I. Probably some group called
the Gorbachev Goons. Well it really isn't
of much note who played at the first con­cert
in light of who the promoters are
trying to get to play at Chernobyl Aid II.
•Who else but American rocker Bruce
Springsteen and British singer Sting. I
guess they want Springsteen to do a
rousing rendition of "Born in the USA"
and Sting to sing "Russians."
Apparently none of the musicians
contacted have accepted the offers to
sing at this benefit. It's not even certain
if the Russian powers-that-be have even
approved of such an endeavor, but it will
be interesting to follow.
Now what about Farm Aid II. Did the
first Farm Aid really accomplish its
purpose? It really made me wonder
when I read about the farmer who
inspired the whole benefit, losing his
farm after all. The poor fellow didn't get
any money out of the whole deal. If I
may be cynical for a moment, it seems to
me the only people who really benefitted
from Farm Aid were the performers who
were thrust in the spotlight for a
weekend.
If they want to have Farm Aid II, let
them have it. Only this time let someone
else besides Willie Nelson plan it. Also,
let's try and make sure the actual
farmers get some of the money too. I'm
sure people who contributed to the cause
expected the money to go to just that, the
cause. Instead a good bit of the money
raised went to pay for setting up the con­cert;
a low blow to the people the money
was intended to help.
If the Soviets can have Chernobyl Aid
to raise money, why can't we at Auburn
University have Hotel Aid? (To help
fund the yet to be seen hotel-conference
center.) And don't forget Fraternity Row
Aid to give the poor misplaced Graek
guys a home. We could have GSA Aid, to
help the graduate students raise money
for their new governing body.
We could have Spade Aid, to supple­ment
the OCA funds that finance yearly
Bermuda trips for the elite ten men on
campus. How about Parking Aid? Yeah,
this would be a good idea, the proceeds
could go toward putting up a badly
needed parking deck on campus.
Football Aid would be a good idea,
especially since we've lost Heisman
Trophy winner Bo to the "real" world
and the Kansas City Royals. Maybe the
money could buy a potential running
back a four year scholarship and a new
car or too.
On a much more serious note, how­ever,
if payday doesn't soon get here, I
might just have to have Kim Aid. Any­body
want to hear me sing?

Media gives journalists raw deal
Allison
SMITH
A lone figure tries to discreetly leave a
building. But the minute he steps outside
the door, dozens of reporters surround
him. Cameras, microphones and note­pads
wave in the air as the reporters hurl
questions at him, moving in even closer.
I have witnessed this shameful scene
many times — in television shows and
movies. The pushy, do-anything-for-a-story
reporter is a common sterotype of
the journalistic profession.
The public seems to accept this stereo­type
with ease. The stereotype often
makes it even harder for us journalists
to do our job. People sometimes imme­diately
become defensive or even down­right
cold in our presence.
Now I admit we can be pushy, espe­cially
under the pressure of deadlines.
But, as a general rule, we are not as
insensitive and inconsiderate as many
people choose to believe. So where does
this stereotype originate?
Television and movies are the main
culprits. The grizzled, nosy reporter con­stantly
tries to stir up trouble. Nightime
and daytime soap operas, in particular,
love to pit their heros and heroines
against the wiles of a crafty, pushy
reporter.
As a result, journalism is often consi­dered
to be a less-than-honorable profes­sion.
A national poll recently ranked the
trustworthiness and credibility of people
in various professions. Journalists came
out on the bottom of the list, ranked
somewhere between used car salesmen
and lawyers.
Now a new stereotype of the modern
reporter has emerged. This stereotype
evolved with the Washington Post
reporters on Watergate. Thus the inves­tigative
reporter was born.
This new reporter is intrepid, daring
and willing to risk anything for a story.
Showing no concern for himself, this
reporter confronts many dangers all for
the sake of journalism.
Now the entertainment media is cash­ing
in on this new stereotype.
Last week, desperate to find some-|
thing to watch on television, I ended up
watching some show I'd never
before called "The Insiders."
I thought I was watching some sort of)
cop or detective show. During the course
of the show the two young heros went
"under cover," dodged cars trying to rur
them down and performed all the other
detective show stunts. After about 3C
minutes, when the daring young rrier
were seated at typewriters, I suddenly|
realized that these dashing characters
were reporters.
Whatever happened to a calm couple
of hours spent on the telephone or at
city council meeting?
As much as I detest the old stereotype
of the pushy, insensitive reporter, thisl
new stereotype scares me. If people
expect me to be pushy, I can be pushy.l
But dodging cars is beyond my|
capabilities.
Sometimes I wonder if we journalist
will ever be able to work peacefully!
without a stereotye hanging over burl
heads. Probably not.

Real reason boys reticent
to request dates revealed
Patti
COLEGROVE
OK, OK. Maybe I was sarcastic, but I
think there is a dating problem. I
thought it was the boy's fault. The 30
phone calls I got last week seem to think
it is the girl's fault. Thanks Jeff, Wayne,
Charlie, John, Brian, another Brian,
Nick, Greg ("I'm the most beautiful man
on this campus"), Tim, Andy, Robert,
John, Dan, another Jeff, Allen, Darren
and many others for calling and telling
me what they think the dating problem
is and for asking me out.
I have never gotten so many offers for
a date before. I guess that proves boys
are capable of asking us out.
Special thanks to David, who called
and asked me out, but ended up taking
my roommate Monica out because I
already have a boyfriend.
Now, on to reveal the veritable reason
boys aren't asking us out. Or, in other
words, the boy's side of the story.
Sometimes boys are scared of rejec­tion,
it's that simple. One boy said he'd
wait three weeks before asking a girl out
because he has to be 99 percent sure
she'll say yes.
Boys don't want to ask girls out
because they said they can't tell if a girl
has a boyfriend, and can't tell if she's a
tease. I hope that doesn't mean they are
only after one thing.
Girls need to be more approachable.
Boys think some girls act witchy, with a
B. They said if girls acted nicer they
wouldn't be so afraid of asking girls out
One boy asked me "If so many giris
are so interested in going out - where are
they? And, if they are interested, none of
them act that way." I told him to go
ahead and ask someone out anyway.
Now I have some questions for you.
Why are you scared to ask us out?
Most of us don't bite. I can almost under­stand
the fear of rejection, but what
have you got to lose? If you get turned
down you haven't lost anything. Think
of it this way: it's their loss. And
remember, nothing ventured, nothing
gained.
To all the boys who asked me for
advice, I hope it helped.
What do you think about a permanent
advice column? Send your questions,
addressed to me, to the Plainsman office
by noon Monday. Just kidding.
What gives all you boys the idea that
girls should ask boys out? If that was
meant to happen we would get paid more
than you.
Seriously though, Adam was created
first for a reason you know.
What to do about the money involved
in dating is always a problem. I can hear
you saying, "What can we do in Auburn
for little or ho money?" Plenty.
Go to Chewacla. It only costs 50 cents
a person. Since it coincidentally
happens to be summer, you might even
get tan along with getting a date.
Go to the free movie. Believe it or not,
if s free. It would help to have patience
while there because of the "excitement"
of the place, but it does make for an
adventurous date.
Go on a picnic. Felton-Little Park is
good for this one because of the swings,
slides and monkey bars. There are grills
there too, So this increases the kirids of
food available. Boys, this one's for you.
On picnics it's the girl's responsibility to
provide the food and the boy's responsi­bility
to provide the drinks.
We're not going to. ask ydu out. Put all
your inhibitions aside and just do it.

Long trail of dirty laundry
legacy .of governer's race .
Salatheia
BRYANT
I don't know about you all, bat I am
glad that Alabama's Democractk pri­mary
runoff election between Charles
Graddick and Bill Baxley is finally over
and is just another murky episode hi
Alabama history that has been filed
away in the dustiest chamber of toy
mind.
The runoff between Attorney General
Charles Graddick and Lt. Gov. Bill Bax­ley
gave Alabama registered voters a
chance to choose the better man in
whom citizens can entrust their state;
however, for me the added weeks along
the campaign trail only gave me a pro­longed
tension headache.
Now that the smoke has cleared and
the bullets have stopped flying maybe
someone can tell me whatever happened
to the usual political persuasive lan­guage
such as "I stand for this" and "I
promise that" — the stuff that we afl
have grown accustomed to and longed to
hear in the past runoff election.
Honestly, these two men just said to
heck with education, jobs and welfare
and stated yelling "I've got a secret
...want to here it.?" Perhaps Graddick
and Baxley have introduced a new form
of campaigning. I call it new wave
politics.
I hope before you went to the polls you
took a look at the issues. The issues: Bax­ley
supporters have tried to persuade
voters to stay away from Graddick by
using the scare tactic. According to
them, Graddick has been endorsed by an
all too familiar group — the Ku Klux
Klan. Now pardon me for saying so, but
an endorsement by the KKK can be posi­tive
and' a useful endorsement. It all
depends upon whose vote you are trying
to solicit. Graddick, however, felt that
black voters were being pressured to not
support him and urged poll watchers to
be on their guard. I bet the blacks who
voted for Graddick and the men in white
were happy in knowing that they (after
all these years) finally agreed upon
something.
Baxley, on the other hand, has been
labeled as an adulterer. This accusation
made him a sinner in the eyes of God and
man in one big swoop. Now pardon me
again but what should it matter to us if
•he does have an extra marital affair?
Did the people who started this ugly
rumor ever think that Bill and his wife
Lucy have an open marriage? And why
should Baxley have to answer to Grad­dick,
the public or the press about who he
has been running around hidden streets
with?
The only thing that I half way believed
about this gubernatorial race was the
•amount of money these two dished out.
A Birmingham newspaper (probably
the same newspaper that printed the
picture of Baxley's alleged girlfriend)
reported that Graddick spent just under
f 2 million and Baxley about $1.75 mil­lion.
And all I can do is wonder how
much of that money was spent hiring
private investigators to seek out all
those rumours that surfaced.
As Alabama voters I think you had a
tough decision Tuesday. I know that I
would have had a hard time deciding
between Graddick who looks as if he's
hiding something behind his glasses
and his opponent Baxley who has a
serious southern drawl.
I not only commend you if you voted,
but the two candidates as well. In a
world where image is so important hav­ing
the cleanest closet can almost win
you anything.
So remember, if you ever find yourself
in a tight race with your opponent don't
give up hope, there is always dirty
laundry.

ME rumors unfounded
Editor, The Plainsman:
On May 29 a forum was held to discuss
recent developments in the Department
of Mechanical Engineering. At this
meeting Dean Lynn Weaver and
Mechanical Engineering Department
Head Dr. Malcolm Crocker fielded ques­tions
from representatives of the College
of Engineering Student Council and
student leaders enrolled in Mechanical
Engineering concerning the progress
and future expectations of this depart­ment.
Dean Weaver and Dr. Crocker assured
those in attendance that the problems
cited by fche Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET) in
their last visit have been answered, and
that other improvements have been
made within the department since this
visit. These student leaders feel that
while problems still exist in the depart­ment,
sufficient measures have been
taken to continue accreditation when
reviewed this fall.
Rumors circulating in the University
that the Mechanical Engineering
Department will loose its accreditation
are unfounded. Considering the stated
guidelines of ABET, loss of accredita­tion
at this visit is impossible. If signifi­cant
problems were found, the depart­ment
would have ample opportunity to
correct them before accreditation would
be withheld.
It is hoped that the ME Department
will continue to supply creditable infor­mation
to its students and alumni con­cerning
departmental problems. While
individual personnel problems are, and
should be confidential, overall teaching
excellence, quality of faculty research,
space and other problems should openly
be discussed.

Vote July 8
Editor, The Plainsman:
When I started out to write this letter, I
began with anger; anger against the
residents, the anti-student laws and
ordinances and the City Council.
However as I wrote I began to think, and
realize, that the root of the problem did
not lie within the residents, but rather
within ourselves. We, with our apathy,
allow and foster a lethargic attitude
toward students. Why sould we receive
the rights and respect of citizens in this
community if we fail to exercise our most
important right-VOTING!!
On July 8, the city of Auburn will hold
elections for its city councilmen and
mayor. The outcome of these elections
will determine the governing board of
Auburn for the next four years. If we do
not show the city that we deserve and
demand our basic rights to some type of
representative government, then be
ready to sit down and shut up for the
next years!
So where do we begin and make a
' difference on July 8? First, register at
the Auburn City Hall today and
tomorrow only. After Friday, you won't
be allowed to vote in the city elections.
(You only have to have lived in the city
for 30 days). Second, whether you vote
for myself in district 2 or the other
student, Scott Placek in district 4, is not
the main point. Just getting to the polls
on JulyS, at Auburn City Hall, will earn
respect within itself. And finally
remember, if you don't vote on July 8,
don't worry about it, there is another
election in only four more years.

Column space just right for free ads
Editor, The Plainsman:
Smart girl, that Patti Colegrove. She
found a way to place an ad in the
Plaipsman without having to pay for it.
Now, the epidemic is really beginning.
Lots of people on the campus a^e getting
inspired by this style of advertising. For
free! Don't be surprised if you see a
change in the format of your campus
newspaper. No more classifieds, but a
whole lot of articles that look like this:
MUSIC APPRECIATION SCHOOL
SOLUTION TO AUDIOPHOBES
Of late there is a problem on this cam­pus.
Not one student I knoW wants to
buy a stereo system anymore.Of course,
it is too much to expect everyone on
campus to love music, but then it is not
true to conclude that they all dislike
music either. Where is the problem then?
I know the kids here can read the
advertisements on the bulletin boards.
Why, even last night I saw so many of
them reading in the library. Sure, of the
20,000 or so enrolled here, quite a few of
them would own a stereo system. But
don't the rest of them ever read my
advertisement on the notice boards
announcing the grand sale of my sys­tem?
Why is my phone so silent? Has
been so since I put my stereo up for sale.
Why are there so many students here
who don't have a stereo and don't want
to buy a Bang and Olufsen, loaded,
going cheap? After pondering over it for
many music-filled nights, I found the
attswer. The students here don't know
how to appreciate music, or stereo
systems!
I decided that the only way out would
be to start a music appreciation school.
These kids will be hoarded in for classes
here and taught everything an audio-phile
ought to know.
For example, we could have Bang and
Olufsen Systems 220. A course about
those great music systems. Systems like
mine. Dripping with features! A 150
watts per channel. THD of only 0.05%.
Great speakers. Classy cassette deck.
This course ought to make those kids
appreciate my system, particularly
when its going for just $1000, almost
$1100 off the regular price.
...And the story goes on and on. Get
the picture? Wake up Plainsman! (The
analogy doesn't end here. Don't call me
about my stereo. All those who called
Patti for a date last week know what I
am writing about!).

How about a Sadie Hawkins Summer?
Editor, The Plainsman:
In response to Patti Colegrove's
column in the June 19th Plainsman, I
have a few suggestions that I think will
greatly improve the date crisis here at
Auburn.
Although the proposition of a "Date
Academy" may be a valid solution for
this problem, I propose something that
goes just a step further. Since it seems
that the girls here are the ones most
directly affected, I think we should try
something completely different—a total
role reversal!
Yes Patti, now it truly is up to you, the
girls of Auburn, to educate the boys.
That is, lead by example—take the initi­ative.
Let's have the "shy" girls screw up
the courage and scrape up the money to
ask a guy out. Assuming Patti's figures
are correct, there are nearly 10,000 guys
out there to choose from. Sounds just like
a smorgasbord, doesn't it?
Naturally, the young ladies have to
spring for the date "consisting of candy,
flowers, dinner and dancing." Oh, and
be sure to use those fingers to call your
date the next day and tell him what a
great time you had (we wouldn't want
anyone's feelings getting hurt, now
would we?).
Likewise, we guys must become adept
at giving "subtle signals" to catch the
eye of a particular girl we would like to
have ask us out. Some particularly effec­tive
flirtation techniques are the combi-nation
hair-flip and coy giggle
maneuver and the ever popular dumb,
helpless guy routine (this bit also works
on your mother). Additionally, practice
feigning disinterest (you want to appear
available, but not easy) and become flu­ent
in the language of Excuses (some­thing
like "I have to hamm«r all the
nails in my walls." or "I have to change
the oil in my refrigerator.").
Since many of the young ladies may
be new to the art of asking for a date, I
have prepared a few pointers to help you
along:
1) There arent' many places in Auburn
to take a date that you (or your date)
have never been before, so try to be crea­tive
(especially on your first date).
2) You never know what will happen
on a date, so be prepared. Thirty or forty
dollars should handle anything that
might come up.
3) Deciding when to "pop the ques­tion"
requires a great deal of premedita­tion.
Try to make the intended askee as
comfortable around you as possible
(thereby making him quite nervous) and
make your proposition at the most awk­ward
moment possible (this practically
assures a date).
4) If at first you don't succeed, try
again. Remember, there are 10,000 guys
out there—one just waiting for you.
5) Sloppy dressers make for unpredic­table,
but quite interesting dates. They
also don't require a great deal of cash to
be spent on them during a date.
Women of Auburn, you now have your
great commission, your Manifest Des­tiny.
So, assuredly stride up to the man
of your choice and confidently ask him
out The shoe is on the other foot now,
and all of us guys are just waiting for
you.

Dating anything but simple
Editor, The Plainsman:
We are writing this in response to
Patti Colegrove's June 19th column
entitled "Dating school station to soli­tary
weekends." We were somewhat
offended by her article due to the way
she portrayed *he men and women of
this campus. She seems to say that most
women on this campus are desperate for
a date, while the men are either unable to
ask women out, or are completely apa­thetic.
We tend to disagree with this
frame of thinking. We also insist that
any dating problem that exists on cam­pus
does not have a simple solution,
since dating is not simplistic.
Miss Colegrove says that the "boys"
at Auburn "simply do not know how to
ask girls out." Of the men who do not ask
women out. some may not know how.
and others obviously do not want to;
possible because they have grown tired of
being turned down by those they do ask
for a date.
We also are offended by her sugges­tion
of having an Assertiveness Train­ing
class, to "teach the boys to speak out
and make the first move." Who says the
men have to make the first move? We see
no reason against women asking men
out for a date if they wish. In addition,
Miss Colegrove said the class would
make the men "less ego conscious and
more date conscious." We feel that both
the men and the women on campus
should keep their egos under control to
prevent problems in dating.
Patti suggested that there should be
an Advanced Phone Dialing class. A
class such as this should be used to ena­ble
people to be comfortable in calling
someone for a date, men and women
alike. She also proposed a class called
Signals 315—a complete guide to flirta­tion.
We do not see that a man should
receive a guide to the "subtle signals
girls send out" Instead, women should
be made more conscious of the conflict­ing
signals they often convey.
After taking your article into consid­eration,
Patti, we went out and tried to
just ask someone out as you suggested.
Our encounters that Friday night were
hardly successful, and it helped to prove
our point that dating is not simplistic. .
Simply taking a class does not prepare a
person for dating; instead, we need more
communication, compassion, and
understanding among the men and
women on this campus.

$ H \\, p i ; Auburn heated this week Campus Calendar
By Siona Carpenter
Editor
Glenn Frey's hit "The Heat Is
On" is a perfect theme for this
week's weather in Auburn.
Temperatures have soared close
to 100 degrees each day.
The forcast calls for scattered
showers this weekend, but no
relief from the searing heat is
expected, said to Bob Dietlein, a
meteorologist with the National
Weather Service in Birmingham.
"We don't see the showers caus­ing
much change in the air mass
t h a t would lead to cooler
temperatures."
Dietlein said the hot weather is
not unusual for this time of year.
STUDENTS HONORED—Marvin S. McGraw receives the
Secretary's Award for Heroism of the Department of Trans­portation.
McGraw and Kenneth J. Wills, student err ployees
at the Auburn University-operated Auburn-Opelika Airport,
were recognized Tuesday for their efforts in the rescue of
survivors of a collision between an experimental aircraft and
a Lear Jet. The accident occurred as both planes were landing
at the airport last Sept. 22.
Normal temperatures for the end
of June range from the low to
mid-90s, he said.
What is unusual is the dryness
the state has experienced this
year, especially in late winter and
early spring, Dietlein said.
Although the rain has been heav­ier
in this part of the state, Bir­mingham
is about 17 inches
below its normal rainfall levels
for this time of the year. Since
January the city has recorded
onlly 10.99 inches of rain.
Hot weather has not resulted in
any heat related-illnesses besides
normal cases of sunburn among
students seen by the student
health center, said Dr. Dunlap
Oleson.
Oleson said students have
some misconceptions about sun-tanning
that often leads to the
problems.
"A lot of the time people are
deceived by a cool breeze," Oleson
said. "Your body may be cool, by
by golly you're burning."
Baby oil and coconut oil offer
"absolutely no protection from
the sun," Oleson said.
"A lot of students don't know
that exposure to the activic rays
of the sun frequently produces
actinic dermatitis, which could
lead to o skin cancer, he said."
Oleson said higher tempera­tures
doesn't necessarily mean
burning is more likely. Sunbath-ers
should take care to avoid
exposure during the middle of the
day when rays are stronger, he
said.

COWART
Jackson finally picks baseball
Senseless death
of top draft pick
holds no answers
Why?
Why would a number two draft pick mess with
cocaine? Why would a top comedian, a major-league
pitcher, a celebrated actor, a sensational rock star,
or a potentially great NFL running back get
involved in something as destructive as drugs?
Len Bias had everything going his way. As the
top draft choice of the World Champion Boston Cel­tics,
he was assured a hefty salary, as well as the
chance to play for what is perhaps the most popular
team in the NBA.
The key word here, though, is had, for Bias is
dead. Felled by an "apparent" heart attack in his
University of Maryland dorm room June 19, rumors
immediately began to fly that somehow cocaine
was involved. It still remains to be proven, but all
indications point to a connection between Bias'
death and drug use.
An envelope found in Bias' car contained cocaine,
according to the state's attorney, and traces of
cocaine were found in Bias' urine, but it is still
unknown whether cocaine was a contributing fac­tor
in his death.
If, as more and more evidence seems to indicate,
cocaine played a heinous role in this situation, the
biggest unanswered question is WHY?
That question will remain forever unanswered,
because the answer died with him.
Surely Bias had heard the stories of Steve Howe,
Bob Welch, Mercury Morris, Richard Pryor,
Michael Ray Richardson, Darrell Porter, Pascual
Perez, John Belushi, and countless others who
ruined their lives through drugs, alcohol, or a com­bination
of the two.
Sports and entertainment figures cannot be
separated from average citizens. Sure, they have
enormous pressures on them, but who hasn't faced
the pressure of a final exam or a term paper? Who
doesn't have problems and pressures that are just
as important and worrisome as a World Series game
or a 20-game losing streak? \
I don't want to make a sermon out of this. I just
regret that something so senseless took a young
man away just as he was beginning a new and
exciting life. If there can be any good to come from
this tragedy, maybe it will make others think before
saying "It won't happen to me. I can handle it."
I wonder if Len Bias said that.
Bo kept everyone guessing
I didn't know quite how to begin about Bo Jack­son's
decision. I started to say that it wasn't a sur­prise
that he chose baseball, then I started to say
that it was a big surprise. But neither is really
correct.
At first, I was sure he would choose football. I
couldn't conceive of turning down millions of dol­lars,
and Tampa Bay is a nice place. I was con­vinced
he would give everybody a good scare, get a
good laugh and end up playing football.
I was guilty of taking Bo lightly as a baseball
player. I thought it was something he did because it
was fun, not something he'd consider doing for a
living. I knew he was a terrific player, but with his
talents, he could probably be terrific at anything.
But then I saw the scouting reports on MB base­ball
abilities, and began to realize I was wrong.
According to the Kansas City Royals, Jackson
right now, with no major league experience, has the
skills of the average pro ballplayer, and his person­ality
factors such as dedication, maturity and so on
are all good to excellent.
Bo has always enjoyed making people swallow
their words, especially when they try to predict
what he will do. He said he would weigh his options,
and that no one should be too sure of his next move.
That he did.
I was a little surprised that he chose baseball, but
hearing his reasons, I can fully understand. He has
set the football world on its ear, and now has the
opportunity to do the same in baseball.
He insisted on a "buy-out clause" in his contract
just in case he wants to return to football, which
seems unlikely, but with Bo one never knows.
He also proved that he is out for more than a fast
buck. Sure, the Buccaneers offered him a million
dollars a year, but like Bo said, you never know
when the next down might be your last. That's no
coward talking, but someone who enjoys sports and
someone that wants to keep on enjoying them for a
long, long time.
I was also glad to see the Royals have plans to
send Bo to the minor leagues for a while to get used
to the much tougher pitching. That makes sense. It
would be discouraging to go straight to Kansas City
and then be overwhelmed by the pitching. Only on
the rare occasion has a draft pick gone straight to
the majors—and survived, Bob Horner for instance.
The minor leagues exist for a reason — to nurture
the potential of young baseball players and prepare
them for the majors.
The only sad part is that whatever Bo does, he
won't be doing it for Auburn anymore. He even
chose a new number, 16, and said he wanted to
"leave Auburn at Auburn." That's understandable;
it's on to bigger and better things. It hasn't com­pletely
sunk in that Bo's tenure at Auburn is over.
Come football season I will probably find myself
looking for that familiar number 34 in spite of
myself.
But by then, number 16 for the Kansas City Roy­als
will most likely be making headlines by knock­ing
home runs over that big crown in center field.

GONE TO THE BIRDS
Bo Jackson will join the Royals Double -A farm club, The Memphis Chicks
By Alan Clemons
Assistant Sports Editor
Auburn superstar and Heis-man
Trophy winner Bo Jackson
surprised the nation last week­end,
announcing that he would
play professional baseball with
the World Champion Kansas
City Royals.
Jackson, 22, made it public at a
press conference last Saturday
afternoon at the Birmingham
Hilton. After keeping the sports
world in wonder for two years, he
finally did "what Bo wanted to
do."
"I played football and I've been
blessed to come away with only a
minor shoulder injury," said
Jackson, dressed in a gray busi­ness
suit and Royals baseball
cap. "I've never had my knees cut
on. I plan never to go into the
hospital as far as my knees are
concerned."
"I've had my share of football,"
he added. "I'm not trying to brag,
but I won my trophy."
Many people figured Jackson
would play football, where he
could make a more considerable
amount of money. The Tampa
Bay Buccaneers picked Jackson
first in the NFL draft, and were
prepared to offer him a reported
salary of $7 million over a five
year period. That amount would
have made him the highest paid
rookie in NFL history.
The USFL's Birmingham Stal­lions
were also in the race for
Jackson, but club President Jerry
Sklar said last Friday that the
team was not able to offer enough
money to sign him. The Stallions
own the territorial rights for
Auburn players as well as other
college teams in the surrounding
states.
Jackson becomes only the
second Heisman Trophy winner
to pass up a professional football
career, the first being Army's
Pete Dawkins in 1958.
Speculation and rumors as to
Jackson's salary with the Royals
have spread since the announce­ment,
though no actual figures
have been released. Kansas City
officials are mum about the dol­lar
amount, saying that Jack­son's
salary will be similar to
that of a first-year major leaguer.
On Monday, United Press
International quoted the salary
as roughly $460,000, and the
Associated Press reported that
the contract guaranteed $200,000
this season, $333,000 in 1987, and
a minimum of $383,000 in 1988.
At first, figures of a $5 million,
five-year contract were tossed
about, but again the Royals brass
denied the information.
Kansas City co-owner Avron
Fogelman said the salary figures
being circulated were "the most
erroneous information in the his­tory
of sports. Bo's salary is no
more than any other first-round
draft choice."
Fogelman went on to say that
the "chemistry" between the
Royals and Jackson was worthy
of praise. "Bo never used football
as leverage, and he never brought
it up to us. The monetary thing
was not debatable, and it did not
take much time. We were not
going to pay any more than first-round
draft choices were paid."
Jackson was assigned to the
Memphis Chicks, Kansas City's
Double-A farm team in Memphis
Tenn. This means that Jackson
will be staying in the South, but
won't come close to the Plains
very often. The Chicks are in the
Southern League, which includes
Charlotte, Greenville, Columbus,
Jacksonville, Orlando, Chatta­nooga,
Knoxville, Huntsville,
and Birmingham. The Chicks
will visit the Barons in Bir­mingham
on Aug. 21.
Fear of using football as lever­age
and Jackson's layoff from
baseball this past season proba­bly
scared off some major league
teams during the draft. But the
Royals showed the most interest,
and Jackson said he was inter­ested
in baseball.
/ "I stated clearly that I was
going to give baseball a fair
chance," he said. "It's their (the
other teams) fault if they didn't
believe me. I said I was interested
in baseball, and Kansas City
took me seriously. They drafted
me, and I'm here. I'm happy
now."
Jackson was passed over by all
teams in the baseball draft until
the fourth round, when the Roy­als
took a chance and picked him.
His interest in the great Ameri­can
pastime was sincere though.
He said his football days were
over. But on Monday a few com­ments
by Jackson gave the
impression that carrying the ball
instead of hitting and fielding it
still lingered.
"If pro baseball just dies ... no
more baseball, no more chance
for games or nothing ... I guess I
See BO, B-4
Campers take football seriously
By Jay Kempf
Staff Writer
Visitors to Alabama quickly
discover two things. Good old
boys aren't restricted to the imag­inations
of beer advertisers, and
football is not restricted to foot­ball
season.
The 327 young men who
attended the Pat Dye football
camp June 15-21 are evidence of
how seriously Alabamians take
their football.
Why would parents be willing
to spend $175 for just three days
of camp? Many parents are hop­ing
their boy will be the next star
discovered. Unfortunately this is
rarely the case.
However, one need only exam­ine
the list of campers from last
year to appreciate the wealth of
football talent annually
assembled at the camp. The list of
names is impressive. James
Joseph, a highly touted running
back from Phoenix City; Sean
Smith, probably the most highly
recruited defensive back ever to
sign with Auburn; and Pat Mad­den,
a golden armed quarterback
prospect from Albertville, all
attended last year's camp.
What do the boys learn at
camp? Camp director Frank Cox
put it this way, "You can only
teach so much as far as improv­ing
him as a football player in a
three day non-contact camp."
Cox did say, however, that the
boys are introduced to weight
training and running programs
similar to the ones used by
Auburn during the off-season.
The running program stresses
better running mechanics, thus
enabling the boys to cut time off
their all important 40-yard-dash
time.
Sports camps are often criti­cized
as being taken too lightly
by their sponsors, thus proving to
be a waste of money for parents.
This is not so with the Pat Dye
football camp.
Since Coach Dye arrived in
1978, the camp has been taken
very seriously, in stark contrast
with his predecessor, Doug
Barfield.
According to Cox, "The main
reason we have a camp is to pro­mote
Auburn. We try to encour­age
and invite as many pros­pects,
senior football players, as
we can. If you can do a good
enough job promoting your pro­duct
then that will result in good
recruiting."
Cox and his staff must be doing
something right. More than half
the boys from this year's camp
are returnees from last year.
The boys seem to have a good
time. Perhaps that is the camp's
biggest and most important
allure of all.

Vols face rebuilding problems
By Leisha Cowart
Sports Editor
Quarterback Tony Robinson is
gone. Star wide receiver Tim
McGee is gone. Ditto replacement
QB Darryl Dickey Jr. and 11
other lettermen, leaving the Ten­nessee
Volunteers in a bind.
The biggest problem facing
Coach Johnny Majors will be
replacing Robinson and McGee.
One of the most exciting quarter­backs
the SEC has seen in a
while, Robinson's career ended in
the fifth game of€he season last
year with a knee injury. His
replacement, Dickey, performed
more than adequately and
wound up MVP of the Sugar Bowl
in his senior season.
The only quarterback left with
any experience is sophomore Jeff
Francis, who finished the season
with 14 completions in 20
attempts for 172 yards, with one
touchdown and one interception.
Two other sophomores and a
redshirt freshman are also in the
chase.
The next biggest chore for the
Vols will be replacing their star
receiver McGee, who caught 50
passes for 947 yards en route to
All-SEC and All-America honors.
Gone also is Eric Swanson, who
was responsible for 24 receptions
for 300 yards. The only Volunteer
returning with more than two
receptions to his credit is Joey
Clinkscales, with 22. Clinkscales'
average of 19.7 yards per catch
was higher than that of McGee.
Four sophomores and two red-shirt
freshmen will fight it out for
the second receiver post.
Starting tight end Jeff Smith
has also vacated, leaving Tim
Hendrix and Nate Middlebrooks
to fill the void. Both have a lot of
potential, but last season didn't
get enough playing time to prove
anything. Who will play the most
will be determined by improve­ments
in their blocking abilities,
according to Majors.
The offensive line has a winner
in returning tackle Bruce Wilker-son
(6-5, 272) who was All-SEC
and second team All-American.
Daryle Smith,(6-5, 272), has
claimed the other tackle position,
held last year by senior David
Douglas. Guard Harry Galbreath
(6-1, 257) returns, as does John
Bruhin (6-3,285). At center, Todd
Kirk took over last year in the
Auburn game for injured Johnny
Hibbett, and is likely to hold on to
the position for two more years,
though Hibbett returns to fight
for his spot.
The backfield seems to be in
good shape, as tailbacks Pete
Panuska and Keith Davis return
along with fullback Jim Miller.
Davis gained 684 yards last year,
which is a Tennesee freshman
record. Converted defensive back
Vando Davis is also in the run­ning
at tailback. Miller, known
as a good blocker, is listed first at
fullback, but Charles Wilson and
William Howard will push for
attention.
The defense was also depleted
by graduation, but more impor­tantly,
linebacker Dale Jones
returns. Jones has made some
All-American list every year at
Tennesee, and this year he is
expected to make the one that
counts. Known as the spiritual
leader of the team, Jones is an
intense player and punishing
tackier. Bryan Kimbro also
returns, as do ILB's Kelly Zeigler
and Darrin Miller. Between the
three, they collected 209 tackles
last season.
Richard Cooper returns at one
DT spot, and Mark Hovanik at
another to give the Vols solid
leadership at tackle. Throw in
Robby Scott, and there's depth as
well.
But Scott will most likely start
at middle guard, unless he is
needed at tackle, and in that
event Brian Hunt stands ready to
step in. With four other lettermen
waiting in the wings, the defen­sive
guards and tackles seem set.
The secondary will feel the loss
of strong safety Chris White, who
picked off nine passes last year,
and made 34 tackles; fifth place
on the team. Conerbacks Andre
Creamer and Terry Brown return
to anchor the backfield along
with free safety Charles Davis.
The kicking game is in good
hands with Carlos Reveiz, who

Punter Bob Garmon, who com­piled
a 39 yard average, is also
back. Andre Creamer will once

replacements. A new long

remains unknown.

Baseball season to remember nears mid-point
Bv Jay Kempf
Staff Writer
Baseball is nearly at its mid­way
point in the regular season
and already 1986 has stamped
itself as a season to remember. Of
course it seems every year some
pitcher has to win his 300th
game. This year it was Don
Sutton.
In 21 years, Sutton has the dis­tinction
of being the only major
league pitcher to strike out more
than 100 batters for 20 consecu­tive
seasons. Sutton has pitched
under five U.S. presidents, and in
that time he has only missed four
starts. There must be a record in
there somewhere.
Sutton has, however, been
n e a r l y overshadowed by the
remarkable accomplishments of
Boston pitcher Roger Clemons.
Not since Ron Guidry in 1978 has
a pitcher gotten off to such a blaz­ing
start.
Clemons recently notched his
13th win without a loss. Earlier
this season he set a major league
mark by striking out a record 20
Mariners in a 13-0 Red Sox romp.
Clemons isn't the only Sock off
to a hot start. The division lead­ing
Sox are leading the American
League in pitching. That hasn't
happened since Babe Ruth was a
rookie.
The Red Sox pitching staff isn't
the only surprise of the year. How
'bout those Texas Rangers? The
Rangers began the season with
eight rookies on their roster,
including three-fifths of their
starting rotation.
The outlook for the Rangers
was glum to say the least. If the
Rangers can maintain their cur­rent
position atop the A.L. West,
it may be the biggest upset since
the miracle Mets of 1969.

With the success of the
Rangers, the 1986 season may go
down in the history books as the
year of the rookie.
Two rookies come to mind
immediately, Wally Joyner of the
California Angels and Jose Can­seco
of the Oakland A's. At last
tally, Joyner led the major
leagues in home runs. Canseco
currently leads the American
League in runs batted in.
Don't be too dismayed how­ever;
many of your childhood
favorites are doing quite well in
their old age. Jim Rice, Fred
Lynn, Reggie Jackson, Mike
Schmidt and Keith Hernandez
are all currently batting over
.300.
This season hasn't been with­out
its humorous points. Mon­treal
second baseman, Vance
Law, had his dream come true in
pitching one inning of scoreless
relief against the San Diego
Padres. The Padres may have
been exhausted from running
around the bases; as they won the
game 10-1.
Apparently the Padres were so
impressed by Law's outing, they
decided to do some experimenta­tion
of their own. Monday night
the Padres inserted outfielder
Dane Iorg in relief of starting
pitcher Lamarr "Where Does It"
Hoyt.
Iorg wasn't quite as successful
as Law; he gave up four earned
runs in only one inning of relief.
He did however notch one strike­out.
In holding with Plainsman
policy the embarassed victim's
name will not be printed.
Predictions? What the heck, I'll
take the Mets in the N.L. East. At
their current pace they should
win 113 games and finish 22
games ahead of their closest
"competition."
The Braves will win it all. Huh?
Oh, thank goodness, it was just a

dream. Seriously, the Braves'
chances should pick up when
Dale Murphy does.
Bob Horner is having a good
year, batting .275 with 13 home-runs
and 44 runs batted in
through 66 games. Chris Chamb-liss
is having a remarkable year
off the bench, batting a blistering
.396.
The Braves' pitching has been
suprisingly good, ranking fourth
in the National League. With all
that going for the Braves, look for
the Padres to be atop the West
division by the all-star break.

Cards brought many ventures
Earl
THAXTON 1
It's 1975. and I'm a pudgy
youngster with a schoolboy hair­cut
and a reputation for mischief.
Only 10. I'm still too young to
know about all the problems of
life but not too old to enjoy
myself. In April of this year that
the Vietnam conflict ended I
happened upon a new hobby.
A buck could buy me 60 of my
favorite baseball stars--if only
multi-colored cardboard pictures.
Yes, baseball cards were the
things I thought of each waking
moment.
Fifteen cents bought my first
pack of cards that April. Packs
still hud bubble-gum then, but the
gum was soon discarded as I felt
a more urgent need to see whose
pictures I had purchased. I still
remember all 10 players from
that first pack.
Buying cards required a mile
walk through the neighborhood's
bike trails, down an aged road
filled with potholes and through
a trailer park. When you're 10 a
short walk is a small price to pay
for pictures of baseball stars.
Like Don Quixote in search of
adventure, I risked the dangers of
poison ivy, barbed wire fences
and dogs eagerly waiting to bite a
chunk from my Levi's. The trip to
the local store and back home
was half the fun.
Opening that first pack, I
found photos of Hank Aaron
(Wow! I thought to myself), Rick
Burleson, Sal Bando, Mike Har­grove,
Ben Oglivie, Tony Taylor,
Mike M a r s h a l l and F r a nk
Robinson.
Who are these guys? You've
probably never heard of any of
them except Aaron and Robin­son.
But when you have a mile's
walk to look them over the names
stick in your mind much longer
than calculus formulas or history
dates.
All that summer I bought
b a s e b a l l cards. E a c h Friday
when Mom gave me my long-awaited
$1 allowance (she came
home from work at 3:30, and I
hated the long day's wait) I
headed to t h e convenient store to
buy six packs of cards to add to
my growing collection of major
league heroes. I opened each pack
with t h e eagerness of a 7-year-old
boy searching for the prize in a
box of Cracker Jacks.
The trips brought me many
adventures and sometimes troub­le.
Once my sister asked me to
watch her 3-year-old son on a
Friday afternoon. I couldn't leave
the kid home alone so I took him
along on my sacred baseball
pilgrimage.
Mistake! Big mistake!
My sister introduced me to a
leather belt (I believe she called
him Bruno). I would have pre­ferred
to remain strangers with
Bruno. He had a nasty habit of
making 10-year-old boys cry.
On another occasion, a duo of
canines made my acquaintance.
Again, these were friends I didn't
need. They chased me from the

hours. I guess they didn't like

The cashier from that local
store remains in my memory. She
Was a nice gray-haired lady that
anyone would have been proud to
call."Grandma." She knew what I
came for each Friday and always
expected to ring up 95 cents in her
cash register.
The convenient store is now a
hardware store, and the cashier
has passed away, but the trailer
park and bike trails are still
there. Those dogs are probably
growing grass six feet under. If
not, they are at least 11 years old
(and remember that's 77 to you
and me).
Those 10 original cards? Well,
recently I purchased the entire
set of 1975 baseball cards. They
cost much more now, but at least I
didn't have to fight off any dogs
to get them home. Darn! I never
have any fun any more.

would go back to playing foot­ball,"
he said. "But right now, all
my energies are going toward
playing baseball."
Tampa Bay owns the rights to
Jackson until the 1987 college
draft, when he will go back into
the pool of available players. If
no one drafts him by 1988, then
he will become a free agent and be
available to any team. Jackson's
agents bargained for certain
escape clauses in the Royals' con­tract,
and if Jackson decides to
give football a chance before July
1,1987, he must return part of his
1986 salary.
However, the 'Boys of Summer'
and the fans who will watch
Jackson play have gained an
exciting, powerful, and gifted
performer who knows what he
wants. Jackson passed up the
money to play baseball because,
as he put it, "it's what Bo wants to
do."

The Replacements to miss Monday concert
WANTED: REPLACEMENTS
The Replacements are forced to postpone their tour due t o injury of lead guitarist
By Ken Hattaway
Entertainment Editor
The Replacements lead guita­rist,
Bob Stinson, has managed
to break his hand just in time to
avoid appearing in Auburn. The
band was supposed to play Mon­day,
but their performance has
been postponed until Stinson's
hand heals.
Meanwhile, WEGL will air
their debut album tomorrow as
Friday night's feature album.
Their music, from the debut
album Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take
Out the Trash to their most recent
release, Tim, is described by the
members as "unpredictable and
freewheeling, ornery and care­less,
stumbling through a variety
of styles from fast and furious
speed rockers to delicate ballads
and a few that just don't fit
anywhere."
The Replacements formed in
1979 and played their first offi­cial
gig in June of 1980 at a half­way
house for alcoholics in a
South Minneapolis church. Paul
Westerberg, responsible for
vocals, guitar and piano, was a
janitor at the time and heard
windows rattling in rehearsal
space and knew something was
up-
Known then as The Impedi­ments,
the group renamed when
the halfway house owners swore
they'd make sure the band never
played again.
The Replacements made sev­eral
albums for independent lab­els
before releasing Tim on the
Sire label. In the past five years,
the group has transformed its
garage band sound into a solid
rock'n'roll feel complete with
loud disrespectful lyrics and a
more than occasional sung note
gone astray.
ilea
"I was the type to sit by myself,
play guitar and dream of being in
a band."
—Paul Westerberg
Tim contains evidence of Rol­ling
Stone influences plus lots of
early '70s heavy-metal. The
songs can be provacative and
they can be funny. Westerberg
has a gift for finding people's
insecurities and bewilderments
and turning them into a song.
Listeners won't hear a tender bal­lad
about lost loves with a refrain
sung repeatedly, but instead will
hear an original tune with depth
and conviction even if it doesn't
sound as polished as songs by
contemporaries.
Westerberg identifies with the
working-class misfits, being one
himself, and as such many of his
tunes pack a punch different
than anything out today. There's
no more compelling noise in pop
music than Westerberg trying to
get his words across over all the
racket his fellow band members
are making behind him.
"I'm a misfit and a loner," Wes­terberg
said in a magazine inter­view.
"I was the type to sit by
myself, play guitar and dream of
being in a band. They were the
type of guys that went out and
started fires and got thrown'in
jail."
Other members include bassist
Tommy Stinson and drummer
Chris Mars. The former displays
all the unhealthy signs of having
his formative years playing
music in cheap bars. Despite con­stantly
hanging out with oldfer
people, he isn't precocious.
Onstage he favors leaping kicks
and wild behavior in general.
Mars is the Replacements'
most flamboyant in respect to the
live escapades, but the emotional
center of the band is lead guita­rist
Bob Stinson who'll perform
in drag, diapers or anything 'he
darn well pleases.
College radio: 'farm league 'forpros
By Adam Robinson
Asst. Entertainment Editor
College radio is a hodgepodge
of theory, idealism, realism and
imagination. All college radio
stations in the United States are
public radio; that is, they can
make no profit.
Music formats are as varied as
the professional radio stations'.
This is where the theoretical
aspects come in. The people who
own and operate college radio
stations must decide the slant of
approach that they take when it
comes to a non-profit, usually
volunteer-manned, organization.
Alabama stations are no
exception. Formats range from
alternative/progressive to hard­core
rock'n'roll to religious. Sta­tions
include WTSU in Troy State
that cranks out classical music,
WBQMfrom Decatur thatoffers
religious/educational and WLJS
from Jacksonville State that
presents album oriented (hard)
rock (AOR).
The divisions in format are
hard to define, and there is much
disagreement where one starts
and another leaves off. AOR is
supposed to target specific
albums rather than specific
songs on album. The implication
is that it differs from Top 40 or
Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR)
which targets the "hits" nor­mally
found in Billboard
magazine.
The remaining format types
include classical, religious, pro­gressive
and jazz. The types are
further divided into sub-types
such that no one word or phrase
can define a station's format.
Andrea Enthal reviewed Col­lege
Radio in Spin magazine list­ing
some of the similarities and
differences between college and
professional radio. "College
radio, puppy-willing to please the
pros 'record companies and the
industry), has become commer­cial
radio's farm league," Enthal
said.
College radio stations break in
new acts and give them a chance
not available in the professional
market (that are looking for tried
and true acts). Much like the Top
40 stations, college radio has its
own literature network that
influences the formats of the pro­gressive
stations by listing
what's hot and what's not a t col­lege
stations around the country.
According to Enthal, "College
radio has its own junior AOR
reports, Rockpool and CMJ (Col­lege
Media Journal)."
Another similarity is the sub­tle
exchange of gifts for airplay.
Enthal adds, "Forget the 30 pie­ces
of silver. A few hundred free
records, T-shirts, and concert
tickets are the price of air time on
t h e n o n c o m m e r c i a l (radio)
band."
WSGN: Neil Mullin is the cur­rent
manager of WSGN. The sta­tion
offers an adult contempor­ary
format for the Gadsden State
area. "We saw a hole in the
market between Top 40 for the
younger group and the sports
programming for the older
audience," Mullin said.
Last summer the station
changed its programming and
call letters to reflect that change
(formerly WEXP). "(Previously)
we had a loyal, but small listen­ing
audience," Mullin said. "It's
tough when you are on a first
name basis with your listeners."
Mullin is concerned about the
future of college radio citing the
lack of funds as the enemy.
WVSU: WVSU was a 10-watt
station since its creation in the
'60s, serving specifically the
Samford University campus. In
October 1983, the Federal Com­munications
Commission forced
WVSU to go to 125 Watts and the
University hired Greg Womble to
implement a new format.
!SSSSSSSS3SS3SSSSSSSSSSSS
'We had a loyal but small
listening audience. It's tough
when you're on a first name basis
with your listeners.'
- N e i l Mullin
9SSSSSSSSSSS8SSSSSSS8S8&
"Our goal was to try to serve a
community audience, not just
Samford students," Womble said.
WVSU reaches well outside the
Samford campus and can be
heard by about half of Birming­ham.
Womble adds "WVSU appeals
to an older, upwardly mobile
audience with its jazz format."
The station scored best in the 35
to 65 year-old range according to
its own independent surveys.
WOCG: WOCG is located at
Oakwood College, a predomi­nantly
Adventist area. It follows
that the programming is reli­gious.
Linda Anderson, its cur­rent
manager, states "Our only
competition is with WNDA for
the r e l i g i o u s programming
market."
The 50,000-watt station
blankets Huntsville and the sur­rounding
area. Anderson looks
positively to the future of college
radio and the people being
trained there noting, "I see the
future as aspiring for students in
college radio. They will seed pub­lic
radio and do well (there)."

Indiana Jones adventures highlight
weekend schedule at Langdon Hall
•MUSIC CHART.
By Ken Hattaway
Entertainment Editor
Action and adventure is in
store for free movie-goers this
week as Raiders of the Lost Ark
and Indiana Jones and the Tem­ple
of Doom return to Langdon
Hall.
Raiders stars Harrison Ford as
Indiana Jones, a professor called
on to search for a lost treasure
that entails him risking life and
limb.
Jones goes looking for a bibli­cal
object (the ark) while being
flanked by Nazis after the same
artifact. Using skill, intellect and
some luck, Jones comes in con­tact
with the ark, only to have
divine intervention destroy it.
Escaping from his enemies
becomes Jones' primary concern
after the ark's destruction is dis­covered.
More skill and luck come
into play as greed becomes the
Nazi's undoing and gives Jones
his chance to embrace freedom
once again.
The Lucas film production,
directed by Steven Spielberg,
contained enough perils and
thrills to such an extent that a
sequel had to be made.
Temple pits the famous
archeologist against adversaries
who are the very embodiment of
evil in a desperate quest for a
sacred stone with magical
powers.
Indiana Jones, his young
sidekick (Ke Huy Quan) and cap­tivating
nightclub singer Willie
Scott (Kate Capshaw) are tossed
together by fate and the scene is
set for Indiana's most incredible
adventure.
Out of the jaws of death in a
plane pursued by villainous figh­ters,
the intrepid trio make their
way to India. In a barren village
bereft of children, Jones pledges
to help the chieftain restore the
village to fruitfulness by finding
and returning to its rightful
shrine the sacred Sandara stone.
As Jones, Short Round and
Willie embark on the search, they
little suspect the sinister laby­rinth
of dark evil that awaits
them. And while some may argue
that sequels are seldom as good
as their originals, Temple has
breathtaking action from the
beginning scenes to the last.
Raiders will be shown Thurs­day
and Friday at 8:30 and 8:00
respectively at Langdon Hall.
Indiana can be seen Friday and
Saturday at 8:00 both nights.

ALBUM H On and On" is certainly approp­riate
enough.
At best, the album is a laugha­ble
waste of money. At worst, it's
a disgrace to Columbia Records
and the music-listening public (if
they buy it, that is).
—Brett Hartman
If you seek safety and consis­tency
when buying an album,
you'll love Jean Beauvoir's
Drums along the Mohawk. Every-I
thing on this record has been pre­tested
and proven effective by
past musicians. Prince, Bruce
Springsteen and Eddie Money
are among the few that Beauvoir
literally "tries to copy." It seems
the obscure former bass player
for the Plasmatics has a real
desire to reach the pop-hit status
and is willing to sell his soul to do
so. I've got advice for him — give
it up.
Aside from the dreadfully
common sound of the album, the
biggest mistake was to include
the lyrics. They're filled with rid­iculous
rhymes that make no
sense. In the song "Drive You
Home," Beauvoir sings, "That
tells me I ain't got a shot / Driv­ing
in my car you're not." This
type of grade-school forced
rhyme-scheme is typical through­out
the record. But Beauvoir has
a quota to fill: rhyme, rhyme,
rhyme.
In the generically-titled song
"Rockin' in the Street," Beauvoir
attempts the reggae sound (and
why not? It's popular you know).
But he consistently offends the
reggae style by singing "Rockin'
in the street / dancing to the
beat." Aside from the juvenile use
of rhyme, Beauvoir describes the
joy of reggae as "rockin"' and
"dancing" instead of referring to
it as "jammin'." But he doesn't
have to worry, his version is none
of the above.
Having tried to make some
sense out of this mess, I've traced
several overriding themes in his
music. Loneliness, lust and con­fusion
are what he seems to cling
to over and over. The title of the
seventh track "Same Song Plays
"Mighty Wings" to the high­flying
soundtrack. The song fea­tures
the band's usual lengthy
melody line, but the hearty use of
synthesizers provides a nice
change of pace for the hard-rock
veterans.
Berlin's donation, "Take My
Breath Away," is a pleasant sur­prise.
Rarely has the group given
a ballad any proper treatment,
but under Moroder's production
the group pulls it off. Terri
Nunn's vocals on the song prove
she is well-equipped for the job.
Newcomer Larry Greene's
"Through the Fire" features an
adventurous yet effective riff,
thanks to composers Moroder
and Tom Whitlock. Other lis-tenable
songs are provided by
Teena Marie, Marietta and the
Miami Sound Machine.
Mi
Unfortunately, the album has
i t s drawbacks. "Top Gun
Anthem," by Faltermeyer and
Steve Stevens (Billy Idol's guita­rist),
provides a few instrumental
interludes for the film. Falter­meyer
again does his thing with
his synthesizers, but only Stev­ens'
guitar Work adds vigor to the
otherwise lackluster offering.
Loverboy goes through the
motions with "Heaven In Your
Eyes," a bland song certain to
please their fans.
Despite minor reservations, the
album overall provides many
good moments and is an enjoy­able
surprise considering some of
the recent movie soundtracks. So
grab your joysticks and head oh
out to the wild blue yonder.
—Dean Smallwood
Synthesizer wizard Harold
Faltermeyer has recently
achieved a reputation as the
"king of the synthetic movie
soundtrack." His hypnotic puls­ing
melodies behind the dramatic
moments of both Beverly Hills
Cop and Fletch certainly
wouldn't have been as effective in
creating a sense of drama beyond
their comedic premises.
For the music to this summer's
number one movie Top Gun, Fal­termeyer
has teamed with Gior­gio
Moroder, the guiding genius
of the disco era whose recent film
credits include Flashdance and
Metropolis. The resulting sound­track
is a finely-crafted album of
synth-pop and potential hit
singles.
Leading off the chart invasion
is Kenny Loggins' smash hit
"Danger Zone." Loggins is no
stranger to motion picture work
("I'm Alright," "Footloose"). His
biggest hits seem to come when
his music is tied in with movies.
"Danger Zone" presents
nothing new musically, but does
feature a catchy melody people
should be humming all summer
long. Another Loggins' offering,
"Playing with the Boys," should
provide similar thrills for the Top
40 audience.
Cheap Trick members are no
strangers to film music either.
They've bestowed tracks to Roadie,
Heavy Metal and Up the Creek.
The group this time around pro­vides
the appropriately-titled
SWITCH.

Day Off: fresh new comedy
In Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the
title character (played by Mat­thew
Broderick) is a high school
senior with a message: "Life
moves pretty fast. If you don't
stop and look around a little, you
could miss it."
The audience gobbles up this
enlightenment faster than their
Raisinets. They love Bueller as
much as most of the people in the
movie.
Ferris is adored by his peers
and community, who believe the
phony illness he concocts to ditch
school. They do all but recreate
Live Aid to raise money to cure
Ferris. -
Ferris is hated by his sister,
Jean, and by his high school
principal, Mr. Rooney. Jean is
jealous of Ferris for always get­ting
away with everything, and
Mr. Rooney hates him for expos­ing
him for the buffoon he is.
All t he jokes in the mo vie work.
The high school faculty and
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n are laughable
losers, and Ferris and his friends
are put in hairy situations and
are forced to find a way out.
The movie was written by John
Hughes, who wrote Pretty in
Pink and who wrote and directed
Sixteen Candles and The Break­fast
Club. None of the mainstay
Brat Pack are in this movie,
though. The three central teen­age
characters are played by
M a t t h e w B r o d e r i c k (War
Games), Mia Sara (Legend), and
Alan Ruck.
Broderick uses a few simple
tools to flesh out Ferris' charac­ter:
a Wayne Newton song, a ten­dency
to ham everything up,
freshness and charm.
Sara gets to portray a real
human character in this movie,
unlike the perfect porcelain prin­cess
she played in Legend. Here
she is likable and vulnerable —
when it comes to Ferris. She
plays Sloane, Ferris' equally
upper middle class girlfriend.
Alan Ruck plays Ferris' best
friend, Cameron, a fellow senior
who is uptight ab
