Views differ on SEC standards
By Phil Crane and

Staff Writers
'A lot of kids were
not raised to go to
college...'
— Coach Pat Dye
Pat Dye is not an exception
among college coaches when it
comes to his opinion about a new
Southeastern Conference rule
passed over Memorial Day weekend
that will eliminate partial
qualifiers by 1993.
"A lot of kids were not raised to
go to college, and grades weren't
important to them," Dye said.
"Education is very important,
and everyone should at least
have the opportunity to fail."
The rule was accepted 9-1 by
the presidents of the 10 SEC
schools, the exception being
former University of Tennessee
President Ed Boling, who is now
president emeritus of the
university.
The requirements of the
National Collegiate Athletjc
Association bylaw 5-l(j) state
that students who fail to aquire a
grade point average of 2.0 in high
school and a 700 on the SAT or a
15 on the ACT cannot receive an
athletic scholarship.
Partial qualifiers, students
who meet some but not all of the
NCAA requirements, may
receive a scholarship but lose one
year of eligibility.
"From the educational standpoint
I agree with it. From the
quality (athletic) standpoint I
don't," Louisiana State Univer-
NC A A schools, under the current
rules, may sign as many partial
qualifiers as they want.
LSU recruits competitively
with schools in the Southwest
Conference because of bordering
Texas and Arkansas. Archer said
that he doesn't like his football
program being restricted when
the neighboring programs are
not.
'I doubt that the strict requirements of
the SEC will be adopted at the next
NCAA convention...'
— NCAA President Wilford Bailey
sity Head Coach Mike Archer
said. "If it is the same nationwide,
it's great because we are
competing on the same level. If
it's not the same then I have a
problem with it."
in the -nation operating under
these stricter guidelines. Other
"If the Southwest Conference
does not have it and the SEC
does, then I have a problem with
it," Archer said. "If a kid we were
trying to recruit wants to play for
us, but can't, and goes to Texas
A&M or Arkansas then recovers
a fumble or blocks a punt, to beat
us, then I have a problem with it."
Other SEC universities such as
Mississippi, Mississippi State
and Florida are in a similar situation.
The Mississippi schools
must compete with in-state independent
Southern Mississippi.
Florida recruits competitively
against independents Florida
State and Miami.
SEC Commissioner Harvey
Schiller said that he plans to
submit the conference.rule to the
NCAA convention in January.
"There is a good chance that it
will be added to the NCAA legislature
because many institutions
already have similar rules,"
Schiller said. "It should be
adopted by the NCAA so there
will be no advantages or disadvantages
between the conferences."
Schiller said the rule was
passed to establish a sense of
excellence in education, to put
teeth in" the NCAA legislation

Construction set
for 3 new dorms
By Evan Hanby
Staff Writer
Another construction project is
on its way to Auburn's campus.
Three new hill dorms are in the
planning stages, Stan Drake,
assistant vice president for facilities,
said.
Construction is tentatively set
to begin in December on a men's
dorm and two women's dorms.
The new dorms will be located
at the end of Duncan Drive
behind the band practice field,
part of what is commonly known
as "the hill."
"This general area has been
identified for future dorms to be
built," Drake said.
Though originally scheduled to
be completed by next September,
increasing costs have pushed the
date back to June 1990.
"We've got a problem," Drake
said. "We still haven't gotten the
project down to where it's supposed
to be."
Approximately $7 million was
made available for the construction
of new dorms. However, the
estimated cost has risen to $8.8
million, $1.8 over the allotted
budget. "So we're involved in the
process of identifying cost reductions
amounting to $1.8 million
dollars," Drake said.
Along with dorm construction,
Drake said a half-mile extension
will be added to Duncan Drive.
This road will bend to the right to
avoid the band practice field and
will include parking areas for the
new dorms.
A commons building with a
post office, laundry, and food
service separate from the three
dorms will also be constructed.
"These will be somewhat different
looking than the others,"
Duncan said. "The dorms there
now have two bedrooms with an
adjoining bath. These will have a
living room, two bedrooms and a
bath within one suite."
The new dorms will add 525
spaces to on-campus housing,
bringing the total to between
4000 and 4500, once all renovations
are completed.

Auburn's growth reflects in expanding campus
By Evan Hanby
Staff Writer
By the year 2005 it is estimated
that Auburn's full-time student
population will be 22,300, according
to Stan Drake, assistant vice
president for facilities. That
means an increase of more than
1,300 students over the next 17
years.
In September, a master plan for
University development will be
finished which will cover the
growth of Auburn through the
year 2005. It will address the
needs of the University including
housing, traffic, parking, lighting,
landscaping, building additions
and telecommunications.
"Right now, it's just a proposition
to the Board of Trustees,"
Drake said. Until the Board's
September 23 meeting, plans are
uncertain.
Details of the Master Plan have
not been worked out, but the plan
will make the campus more
pedestrian-oriented. The academic
facilities will be the core of
the campus and housing and
athletics will be on the perimeter.
The growth of the campus,
being as significant as it's been,
will dictate this arrangement,
according to Drake. "That's what
I envision. When you have a
need, you develop it and work
toward that objective," Drake
said.
Drake said President James E.
Martin has been instrumental in
working towards these goals.
"President Martin has put this
campus into overdrive," Drake
said.
One complication that could
arise from Auburn's expanding
campus is the loss of the traditional
small-town appeal, Drake
said, and added that "We don't
want to lose that flavor of
Auburn."
"The growth at Auburn is running
at 1 percent per year. We're
trying to hold it down to that,"
Martin said, adding that "We will
continue to see continued growth
in the future."
Absentee voting probed
By Leigh A. Beck
Staff Writer
The state of Alabama is investigating
absentee ballot irregularities
and abuse after receiving
reports of excessive absentee voting
from across the state.
In a press release, Secretary of
State Glen Browder said he is
asking for help from state and
local election officials to deal
with the growing problem.
Brenda Carr, information specialist
for the secretary of state,
said Browder is asking the attorney
general, elections commission
and circuit courts and registrars
association to join him in
the investigation.
Ms. Carr said there have
always been isolated reports of
absentee voting abuse in the
past, but calls are now coming in
daily.
Browder said he will "take
whatever action may be appropriate
as a result of the investigation,"
which will determine if any
changes need to be made in the
current law.
The most common complaint is
that political operatives may be
illegally encouraging absentee
voting, according to Browder.
The Alabama Code says that
absentee voting is allowed when
a citizen cannot go to the polls
because of a physical handicap or
will be out of the county on election
day..
According to Browder, past
complaints have involved black
political activists in the Black
Belt, but the current complaints
involve "blacks, whites, Democrats,
Republicans, north, south,
east and west."
Browder said he has no target
group in the investigaton and he
is "not trying to restrict legitimate
absentee voting."
Ms. Carr said the secretary of
state has not decided what legal
action may be taken or what
changes are being considered in.
the law.
She did not have any information
available on the number of
votes in question.
Annette Hardy, circuit clerk of
Lee County, said she is not aware
of any complaints concerning
absentee voting here.
Gov. Hunt visits Auburn
By Kay Taylor
News Editor
Claiming that "all the wisdom
is not in Montgomery," Gov. Guy
Hunt began a 32-city tour this
week to gather public opinion
before the upcoming special session
of the Legislature. He spoke
in Auburn Tuesday at the Hamilton
Road Group Home for the
mentally retarded and Bent
Creek Road Grocery Store.
Hunt undertook this tour "to
meet the people of Alabama and
gather their views and opinions
concerning the special session,"
Becky Harrison of the Governor's
press office said.
"He wants to talk with people
about education reform, the
budget and what the state should
do during the special session,"
Ms. Harrison said.
"A lot of people are making dire
predictions about the session, but
I would be very disappointed if no
progress is made," Hunt said.
Hunt said it is easy for politicians
to become too involved in
Montgomery and lose sight of
issues.
"This may come as a surprise to
some of you, but all of the wisdom
is not in Montgomery. Or in
Washington, either.
"I have a strong faith in this
state, in the entrepreneurs and
people in the hills and valleys of
the state. I want to hear what
they have to say," Hunt said.
Hunt toured the facilities at
Hamilton Road and spoke before
approximately 50 people before
leaving for Bent Creek Road
Grocery.
While at Hamilton Road, Hunt
commented on the Presidential
campaign, voicing his support
for Congressman Jack Kemp of
New York as a running mate for
George Bush.
"I think this election is critical
and that Jack Kemp, would
strengthen the ticket the most,"
Hunt said.
Hunt also said that he had
spoken to several governors and
was lobbying for the 1990 Convention
of Governors to be held in
Alabama. >

This part of a plan to disperse existing and new ships along the
Gulf Coast as well the east and west coasts.
The station, expected to be completed in the early 1990s, will
be a strategic element in President Reagan's continuing campaign
to modernize the armed forces.
The base on Hollinger's Island where the naval station will
be constructed is expected to bVing in a $70.5 million payroll to

E.P.A. limits chemical production
The Environmental Protection Agency announced measures
to reduce the amount of chlorofluorocarbons produced and used
in the United States which are believed to deplete the ozone
layer.
The measures will bring the United States into compliance
with a 37-nation treaty drafted last September to limit these
chemicals. The United States is one of six nations that has
already ratified the treaty and is the first country to take legal
action on it.
The regulations will go into effect next July and will freeze
production of chlorofluorocarbons at 1986 levels and reduce the
production over several years.

U.N. council to declare cease-fire
To resume the stalled peace talks between Iran and Iraq, Javier
Perez de Cuellar, secretary general of the United Nations,
announced that he would declare a cease-fire in the eight-year-old
Persian Gulf war.
After talking with Iranian officials for two hours, Cuellar
said the Iranians appeared willing to accept the cease-fire and
that it would be up to the Iraqian delegation to decide whether
to continue the war.
Cuellar said that after the cease-fire is declared, he would ask
U.N. nations to contribute approximately 250 troop's for a
peace^monitoring force.
If one ofthe two warring countries refuses to accept the ceasefire,
the U.N. Security Council would intervene.

Movin' to the beat of a summer drum
Auburn's summer band warms up
for two end-of-quarter performances
By Leslie Harris
Staff Writer
Trombone lessons begin early
at Goodwin Hall, where'a student
can be heard practicing in the
office of the director of bands.
By 8 a.m. different instruments
can be heard warming up
throughout the halls of the music
building and even though the
rehearsal area is quiet and still, it
will soon be full of melodious
sounds.
The summer band at Auburn is
"really more of a community
band," said Dr. Bill Walls, director
of bands. Anyone interested
can' participate, including students,
faculty members, high
school and junior high school
students and anyone else in the
community, Walls said.
There are only "four or five
music majors that play this
summer," Walls said. "They are
graded strictly by attendance.
There are guidelines given for
that. They receive one hour
credit."
"This is not like an English
class or math class. This is the
culmination of the summer's
work," said Johnnie Vinson,
associate band director, of the
two.-final concerts the band will
perform.
;The musical arrangements
performed in these concerts will
be conducted by various
members of the music department.
Among these will be Walls,
Vinson, Tom Caneva, assistant
director of bands, John LaCog-nata,
graduate assistant and
undergraduates Tom Bouldin
and Jimmy Martin.
iaCognata will'also pe>ft>fm a
trumpet solo. "He's a 'veny"good
trumpet player," Vinson >said.
;The concert will be presented
twice. The first will be Thursday,
Aug. 4, at Opelika Park at 6:30
p.m. The second will be Tuesday,
Aug. 9, at Pebble Hill, at 7:30 p.m.
These concerts are not really
thought of as a final exam but
more "like showing off what
we've learned," said Chris Currier,
01 GLA.
Currier, a percussion player, is
taking 20 hours this summer.
"I'm taking this class for fun. I
was coming to sign up for my
piano course and went to the
wrong office and ended up here,"
he said.
"It's more fun than work
really," Currier said.
Sonny Anderson, 04 CPE,
plays trombone in the summer
band. "It keeps me off the streets"
during the summer, he said. "I'm
in the marching band. I have
been for four years."
Adam Divelbiss, 04 EE, also a
trombone player, said, "During
the year I'm just in the concert
band."
Divelbiss is taking a full load
this quarter. "I like playing my
horn, and it's a break from all
those equations in my engineering
classes," he said.
Bouldin, 04 CNM, another
trombone player, is a music
major and plays in all the bands.
"It is required that we (music
majors) do all that stuff," Bouldin
said.
'It keeps me off the
streets.'
— Sonny
Anderson
Rebecca Robertson, 15, a trombone
player, and Cathy Clark, 15,
a flutist, are both 10th graders in
the Auburn High School Band.
Although they do not receive
credit for being in Auburn's
summer band, they said they are
having fun.
"I'm taking this for practice
over the summer," Clark said.
"During winter and spring
(quarters) we actually have three
concert bands. Anyone who
wants to can play in the noon or 1
p.m. bands," Walls said. But the 3
p.m. band is "by audition only."
"In the 12 or 1 p.m. bands, generally
the music is easier and can
be...a little less serious...maybe,"
Walls said.

Challenge
The recent geography survey
conducted by the Gallup
O r g a n i z a t i o n is prodding
Americans to take a serious
look at this country's educational
institutions.
According to a New York
Times' story, the survey,
which tested geographic
knowledge, was given to
10,820 adults in nine countries.
Adults 18 to 24 years old
put America, in not-so-noble
ninth place behind Mexico,
Britain, France, Italy, Canada,
Japan, West Germany
and Sweden.
Ironically, though 70 percent
of the Americans surveyed
rated the ability to read
a map as essential in today's
society, more than a third
could not calculate the distance
between two designated
cities when given a mileage
scale.
A sad fact, indeed.
It Would seem that at some
point or another every high
school graduate has taken
some sort of map skills course,
allowing 18- to 24-year-olds to
prepare for such a survey by
virtue of opportunity under
normal learning conditions.
Unfortunately, what is
taught in the classroom is
often tagged with "just learn
this for .the test," with no
emphasis on long-term retention
of the material. As a
result, many students are
lacking knowledge because
they may believe it will not be
usefulafter h^igh school.
The survey1 noted t h a t level
of education, exposure to
maps, globes, geography
courses and travel experience
were contributing factors in
the mediocre results of the
survey.
It should also be noted that
geography is not a mandatory
course in Alabama's public
school systems. However,
Tom Martinson, professor
and head of the geography
department, said that it is
strongly recommended.
Gov. Guy Hunt was in
Auburn Tuesday asking for
input on Alabama's education
system. The Plainsman
challenges the governor to
support education by requiring
geography as part of the
public school core curriculum.
Living in terror
A 19-year-old Arab is jailed
for inciting unrest by the
Israeli government Sunday in
Jerusalem. Just hours later, a
British soldier is killed and 10
others are wounded by a bomb
planted by the Irish Republican
Army in North London.
The incidents are completely
unrelated. Aren't they?
Both episodes were predict
able maneuvers in an old
game of repression and terrorism
which political leaders
have been playing for centuries.
Though separated bj
t h o u s a n d s of miles, both
moves were part of the same
global zero-sum game: No one
wins, everyone loses.
•Israel's government gained
nothing when Faisal Hus-seini,
described as the top
activist of the Palestine Libe
r a t i o n Organization, was
arrested in his home and
ordered imprisoned for six
months without a trial. It only
improved the world's perception
of the PLO's often-violent
movement to re-establish a
Palestinian homeland.
Similarly, on the other side
of the game table, the IRA
came no closer to resolving its
400-year quest for land and
autonomy. Thousands of British
soldiers stand ready to
replace the slain youth, just as
t h o u s a n d s of P a l e s t i n i a ns
will inevitably step forward to
succeed Husseini, to resume
play.
The Plainsman feels that
we must strive against the use
of violence alone as a means
of conflict resolution; at the
very least, Americans should
not be satisfied recovering
from or perpetuating violence
i n s t e a d of preventing it,
merely dealing with the
effects of aggression instead
of its causes.
Eventually, we must realize
that both sides are the oppressors
and the oppressed: The
good guys and the bad guys
are not as clear-cut as they
seem or as we might like them
to be. We've got to look beyond
newspaper accounts, see the
bigger picture and act.
People lie dying. Countries
lie ravaged. Only the game
remains intact.
Correction*
In the July 28 editorial titled 'For the people?,'it was incorrectly
stated that the Alabama State Legislature convened its regular session
on May 5. The Legislature concluded the regular session on this
date. The Plainsman regrets the error.
Education should be University's aim *•:.+.
"Academic ability is the last
reason a nonqualifier doesn't
succeed. The first reason is ambition
to get a college education.
The ones who flunk out are the
ones who are too lazy to go to
class."
—Head Coach Pat Dye, speaking
on the Southeastern Conference
proposal to eliminate partial
qualifiers by 1993, as reported by
David Davidson of The Atlanta
Constitution.
When Tommy Touchdown was
but a lad, he played some mean
little league football. His coach
saw potential in Tommy, and he
worked him hard on the field to
mold Tommy's talent.
In junior high school Tommy
continued to excel in that beloved
American pastime. But while he
was making the grade on the
field, his studies suffered. He
didn't worry, though. After all,
who cares about junior high
school grades, anyway?
As a high school student,
Tommy's top priority was, again,
football. But his family had
fallen upon hard times. And
though Tommy's dream was to
someday play college ball, his
parents informed him that his
l:.ditor
PAIGE
OLIVER
grades would have to improve,
for Tommy would need to try for a
scholarship.
Tommy didn't like the idea of
studying most of his waking
hours, so he checked into some
other options.
He discovered that he could
work for minimum wage at the
local fast-food restaurant, but
that would mean taking a time
out from practice.
Of course, there was always the
chance that he would be recruited
for an athletic scholarship. He
was a most talented football
player, after all.
It wasn't too long before
Tommy Touchdown had to take
his Scholastic Aptitude Test. At
this point in his high school
career, he held a steady grade
point average of 1.3 on a 4.0 scale.
But thanks to the allowance of
partial qualifiers into college
scholarship programs. Tommy
could make up for his poor average
with a high standardized test
score. He was home free.
While many of his friends were
struggling to gain acceptance to
great schools and state schools
and great state schools, Tommy
was getting calls from coaches
around the country wanting him
to play "college ball" complete
with scholarship.
Of course, he couldn't actually
play the first year because he
would be considered a partial
qualifier. But he would still get
that scholarship and, if he made
the grade by the following year,
he could play then.
Meanwhile, Wanda Workaholic,
who worked throughout
high school to contribute to an
older brother's education, was
turned down at many colleges
because she didn't have a high
enough grade point average.
Wanda's dilemma, like Tommy's,
was a matter of priority. While
Tommy chose to play ball instead
of studying, Wanda chose to
work.
Recent comments by Pat Dye
have solicited scrutiny from both
sides of the athletic-academic
coin. While some have claimed
that eliminating partial qualifi-~r-ers
will benefit education. Dye
has maintained that it will des— '•
troy "the little guy's" chances to
get an education.
Some coaches in the SEC argue
that the proposal, though aca-'
demically beneficial, would he- '
unfair if it remains only a-regional
rule. Dye argues that the •''
proposal allows certain schools'-'
— namely the University of I
Georgia — to circumvent the system
by sending those who don't -
qualify to a junior college for a'' '
year. "i •'
If the issue is getting an educa- •'
tion, which it certainly should be,- oi
it should make no difference if a-student
does so at a community'
college or under the watchful eye -'
of a football coach. •'''
While I can appreciate Dye's"
position as a coach, the stan-'
dards of Auburn University",
should never be lowered academy
ically for an athlete. And wher>-
ever possible, the academic*'
standards should be raised for*
the best interest of the University^
as an educational institution. *»
v.
Lest we forget, the primary*
objective of a university is, thed<ti
retically, to educate. .'*'
Heed these lessons in pretentiousness
"Men should be what they
seem."
— William Shakespeare,
Othello
When Shakespeare wrote this,
he had obviously not anticipated
t h a t pretentiousness would
gradually become more and more
in style, thus making such an
attitude as the line above suggests
obsolete.
According to Webster, pretentiousness
is defined as "making
an extravagant outer show"
o s t e n t a t i o u s . Ostentatious-
"always implies -a-- deliberate
effort to attract attention or to
outdo another by means of
display." '
Therefore, in order to keep in
sync with current trends, it seems
we might all benefit from some
tips on how to achieve maximum
pretentiousness. After all, we all
want to be hip, don't we?
The key to proper pretentiousness
is to adopt the attitude that
you are the coolest thing since
Nutrasweet. Repeat over and
over again, both in your head and
aloud, "I'm cool. I'm mod. I'm
hip." Eventually, you'll be thoroughly
convinced.
Next, make drastic, even outlandish
changes in your appearance
and in your attitudes toward
things. Mod clothes are a. start.
Macabre makeup, outmoded
shoes such as Jesus sandals and
blatant disregard for personal
hygiene can also help to enhance
your pretentious image.
Viewpoints should also be
changed. If you currently lean
toward the left, vehemently
advocate anarchy. The more radical
the change, the better. Even
if you don't know what Communism
is, say you're for it; no one
else does. Your beliefs don't
necessarily have to correspond
with each other, either. You can
call yourself a conservative and
donate money to the abortion
clinic. It just doesn't matter.
Ma'nauini! liditor
AMY
DURKEE
Of course, you can always
plead indecision — that is, that
you just don't know how you feel
about anything because there are
just no sound ideas. Apathy
works just as well on any issue at
all. When all else fails, say you're
an existentialist. It!s. somewhat
indefinite, and no one really
knows what it is anyway.
Every now and then, do something
completely out of character
— just to prove how cool and
unpredictable you are. Cool people
are driven and spontaneous,
not practical or consistent (that
is, not real people). Remember,
the pretentious image you are
displaying is not you, it is just the
way you are presenting yourself
to others.
Akin to pretentious people, who
i deliberately portray themselves
in a particular way solely to
attract attention, are those who
cannot see past the appearances
of others. Shallow and easily
impressed, these individuals
form opinions on others based
only on their physical appearances
or superficial personalities.
It sounds a lot worse than it is.
This particular outlook is more
common than you might think,
and quite a challenge to master.
-In-fact, it can be more of an
attribute than a shortcoming.
The key to maintaining this
attitude and looking good at the
same time is this: appear open-minded
by making excuses for
your closed-mindedness. In other
words, make an overt show of
verbalizing this character flaw,
while making no attempt to overcome
it. Believe me — it works.
Once you have achieved a substantial
degree of pretentious- ;
ness. you must seek out others of.
your kind. They are not hard to^i
spot, but be sure you know some1 ',
one is definitely pretentious 1
before you approach them to join.*-;
your camp. (Heaven forbid you •>
should associate with a sincere^
person.)
When you and your new-found,
pretentious friends are one big.1'
happy family, you will have
plenty of fun together. A favorite •,
activity of the pretentious is to
snicker amongst each other at,-
people whd do anything "con-'
formist." In actuality, of-course,
you, too are a conformist. But it's '
fun to pretend you aren't.
A few more things to keep in i
mind: Never do anything unless- (
there is something cool about it,
embrace anything that most
people have never heard of, and,' •'
if anyone calls you pretentious,' >
laugh at them.
Ignoring them won't make them go away
You'd think that as health-conscious
as we Americans are
getting these days we'd try to find
some way to solve a few of the
problems we've created in our
environment.
But while we sit back eating
our fiber and fish, we ignore the
possibility of our endangering
the places from which we get
these food products — even now,
when that possibility has become
a reality.
The greenhouse effect, acid
rain and other predicted problems
have been "dismissed as
lunacy" for years. But now, these
problems and others are staring
us in the face and we are address-'
ing them with an "If I ignore
them, maybe, they'll go away"
attitude.
The increase in temperature
and decrease in rainfall has
caused some problems in our
country's farming industry.
Without the rain, our crops will
dry out (if they grow at all), and
with increased temperatures, the
size of the plants that do survive
may be stunted.
r-'caturcs I'ditor
BETH
BECKER
Experts attribute these problems
to the greenhouse effect.
They also are predicting more
forest fires and increased desert
areas as well as a smaller grain-producing
area which will move
northward.
Even the drought this year
may be linked to man's altering
of his environment."But severe
water shortages in some parts of
the country (as nearby as Atlanta
and Birmingham) don't dissuade
people from using massive
amounts of water unnecessarily.
(Better to die of thirst in a clean
car than in one that's covered in
dust!)
Strict fines had to be enforced
to keep people from using up the
available water supplies, and
some people even ignored these.
Is it necessary to have a green
lawn rather than a drink or a
shower?
Then there are the fish. We
dump huge amounts of garbage
into our oceans every year and
then expect to still be able to eat
fish. What do we think the fish
are eating?
Studies show that the number
offish which contain unsafe levels
of toxins is increasing, which
means we will have fewer fish
that are edible. What we are
actually eating when we eat our
"healthy food" fish is an animal
that lives in human waste.
Next we have the fires and acid
rain which are helping to destroy
our trees. Not that anyone is too
concerned about trees anymore
— if it gets hot enough we won't
need them for firewood. And if we
need to, we could start writing on
animal skins again (we'll have to
find some use for all these animals
that are dying of thirst).
The forest fires can be linked
back to a combination of the
greenhouse effect, the drought
and human carelessness. And ;
acid rain is destroying what the •
greenhouse effect is not. "•'
Studies show that trees in' '
Vermont and Maine are not the "
only ones affected by acid rain'.
Its effects can be traced down the ;
Appalachian Mountains in "
higher altitudes as close as north' •<
Georgia, and in lower altitudes in "-
areas where layers of pollution'
form a sort of second ozone layer.'.'
What will the world look like in •
50 years or so if we continue to
ignore the problems or say
they're someone else's responsibility?
Maybe some country will
be nice enough to hold a "Live'
Aid" type concert to feed us wh§n ',.
we no longer have an environ- .
ment suitable to grow our own '
food.
Personally, I look forward to
the day when I can take my i
grandchildren to my mother's
house and show them the maple '
tree we grew from a seed and •
planted in our back yard — provided
it hasn't already died fromir
exposure to acid rain.

Film offensive, unnecessary
Editor, The Plainsman:
On Sept. 23,1988, America will
be able to enjoy two hours of lust,
Satanic violence and communal
sex on film. Old stuff? Yes.
But the movie industry must
believe we want more — new and
improved sex with an enticing
twist — with Christ as the star.
The Last Temptation of Christ
is yet another marketable product
of directors and producers
who, rallying behind the First
Amendment, possess the power
to flout the basic moral ideals and
values of our society.
I have not seen the film, but
released previews describing
C h r i s t ' s "deranged, lustful"
character, his sexual involvement
with Mary Magdalene and
the bloody Satanic degradation
of the Last Supper leave me only
with a fervent desire to never see
it.
Is there any redeeming value in
such a portrayal? Any impressive
new assertions? Is it even a
"story that must be told?"
Depicting Christ as a reluctant,
sinful man trapped by his
Father's plan seems only an
attempt to persuade us that purity
is dead, that true spirituality
never existed and never will.
But a vast number who exalt
Christ as the symbol of perfection
will resent this insinuation; they
will be offended. Those with the
simple desire to preserve the reputation
of a life that has positively
affected so many will be
offended.
But the show will go on. Universal
Studios has stated that
protest calls will be considered
"cranks" and opinionated petitions
will be virtually ignored.
Ironically, protest serves only
as free publicity, and while the
movie industry obviously makes
use of an effective marketing
strategy, I believe it is also making
a sad and embarrassing
assumption about what we consider
entertaining.
And I just can't ignore the picture
of greedy producers thumbing
money which proclaims "In
God We Trust."

Auburn's order must be considered
Editor. Tin- I'lu ins incur. .

I have recently become aware
of a tragic occurrence in the
Auburn community. This occurrence
deals with the unnecessary
chopping clown of several trees in
front of the new Phi Gamma
Delta house.
The reason for my concern is
that these trees symbolize the
time that has gone by in this
community. They have stood
there watching the growth and
development that has occurred in
Auburn. For example, the growth
of Auburn University.
On top of their symbolic meaning,
the trees are also a form of
life that adds to the beauty of
Auburn. Without such tremendously
beautiful things surrounding
the buildings and houses, we
would look like a cluttered, chaotic
citv.
It appears thaf besides these
specific trees, others" hr'C being
axed down, leaving the community
fairly bare.
What next? The Quad? The
beauty and order must be
thought about a little more before
we are left with nothing but an
ugly community.

Guest Perspective
Human resources deficient
American agriculture is facing
critical power and resource problems,
not fuel, or equipment, or
land, or fertilizer, but human
resources and brainpower.
America has long been the food
basket of the world, but our agriculture
is based on high technology
and i n t e n s i v e c a p i t al
investment, which require ever-increasing
'mindpower.' Without
renewed efforts to develop
hpman capital, the United States
simply cannot continue as world
leader in food production.
•The beginning of the 1980's
saw agriculture facing its greatest
challenges since the Great
Depression. Front page stories on
every American newspaper featured
details of the latest bankruptcies
or foreclosures in the
local farm community. Thousands
of young people who might
have opted for a career in agriculture
but who were dismayed by
the bleak headlines now were
looking for careers with a brighter
future.
A United States Department of
Agriculture national assessment
of graduates and employment
opportunities in agriculture indicated
that, through the end of
this decade, U.S. colleges and
universities are expected to produce
insufficient numbers of
graduates with food and agricul-

tural expertise to fill important
s c i e n t i f i c and p r o f e s s i o n al
positions.
In Alabama there is even a
bright side to this because fewer
than 10 percent of the agricultural
graduates in the state go into
production farming and ranching,
and there are more jobs than
graduates in some of these areas,
especially in poultry science and
ornamental horticulture where
there are generally three to five
good job offers per student.
Unfortunately, too many students
are coming to our colleges
and universities ill-prepared to
major in agriculture. Data published
by the National Academy
of Sciences show that about one-third
of the high school graduates
have completed three years
of mathematics, one-fifth have
completed three years of science,
only one-tenth have taken a
course in physics and fewer than
that have completed a unit of
calculus.
Students preparing for high-tech
careers in agriculture must
be well educated in these basic
areas since they-will be expected
to develop solid background in
mathematics, economics, physics
and chemistry in addition to
oral and written communications,
biology and the liberal arts
while in college.
A healthy agriculture is essential
to a healthy America. The
heartbeat of American agriculture
is its people. The primary
source of this agricultural mind-power
has been, and remains, the
Land-grant Colleges in each
state. Auburn University's College
of Agriculture has been fortunate
in attracting some of Alab
a m a ' s most a c a d e m i c a l ly
talented students; however, the
numbers have been well below
those needed to meet the demand
for dynamic, well-educated leaders
with agricultural expertise.
If we don't get the word out,
human capital shortages could
change from a threat to the end of
American agriculture as we know
it today, an unacceptable altern
a t i v e . Every knowledgeable
citizen should encourage bright
young high school students to
visit a college of agriculture and
learn what opportunities exist.
Your personal lifestyle may be at
stake.

We all have to start somewhere
Late Sunday afternoon, I was
hunting for something to photograph
for a feature shot in The
Plainsman. A feeling of satisfaction
apprehended me as I thought
of the perfect place to capture a
shot. I envisioned the scene,
unsure of who or what the subjects
would be, but certain of the
place.
I seized my camera, jumped
into my car and raced off to the
arboretum. On the way I couldn't
think of anything but the splendid
shot that I had promised
myself I would discover when I
got there.
I was crushed. The place was
deserted except for a few pesky
mosquitoes. All hope was not
lost; I would ride around town
and see if anything interesting
was happening (what a joke) and
then ride back by the arboretum.
As expected, there was nothing
spectacular or even mildly interesting
happening in town. I
decided to rekindle my enthusia
sm for the arboretum and
headed back that way. Upon
arrival, I saw two parked cars,
the first signs of life. As I dashed
through the gate I saw a woman
pushing a stroller down the path
and then as I rounded a bush I
saw a man and a woman
crouched on the small pier at the
edge of the pond. I proceeded to
get closer and asked if they were
feeding the fish.

"Turtles," they both responded
while continuing to scatter pieces
of bread across the water.
They seemed friendly enough
so 1 asked them to let me take
their picture for The Plainsman.
The man responded immediately
with a crude "no." Figuring that
he was just shy, I tried to coax an
affirmative response from him.
The woman did not object to a
shot from behind in which their
faces would not be seen, but with
the disapproval of the man she
quickly altered her decision and
commented that The Plainsman
"is a bad publication."
The man, who seemed to
believe that he was on a higher
level of consciousness than the
rest of the human race, made a
snide remark which almost provoked
a heated debate. I held
back and kindly requested an
explanation of their hostility
toward the University newspaper.
The woman then informed me
that she used The Plainsman in
her class as an example of "bad
writing." Not all of it, but most of
it, she said.
I quickly defended the publication
that I work so earnestly for
by reminding them that no'one is
perfect and that everyone has to
begin somewhere.

each others' voices out as they-viciously
tore the paper to shreds
with their words.
The next thing I knew this dog
ran up, jumped into the pond and.
s t a r t e d devouring the soggy
bread that remained on top of the
water, quite a hilarious sight. I
immediately started taking
pictures.
As the dog was being cajoled
out of the scummy water by his
owner, I told the professors of the
great shots I had taken — from
behind — of them and the dog.
The man responded with a threat
a civil action if I printed his
picture.
I was appalled. No, I'm not
ignorant of the negative feelings
that some people have about our
paper, but this was a rude awakening.
Any news publication
should expect criticism, but
downgrading The Plainsman
seemed to be.an obsession of
theirs.
I left the arboretum that day.
feeling sort of stripped of my.
innocence and vowing to harden,

further confrontations of this
sort.

Historic
theatre
now retail
AU bookstore runs at cost RULE, continued from page 1
By Amy Layfield
Staff Writer
By Sarah Hicks
Assistant News Editor
For 56 years Auburn students
frequented the Tiger Theatre, but
when the theatre opens again,
films won't be the order of
business.
When the building does reopen,
it will provide retail space and
offices for area businesses.
H.J. Porter & Associates leased
the space from Downtown Properties
1 who acquired the property
in 1984 when the theatre
officially closed, according to
Randy Williams of the Selectus
Corporation, the contractor for
the project.
"The landmark will still be
called the Tiger Theatre and the
marquee will be renovated, but
the interior will be completely
redone," Williams said.
! A second floor will be added to
the original shell, creating a total
of 86,000 square feet of space,
according to Auburn's department
of economic development.
Retail space will cover 4,000
square feet on the bottom floor.
Demolition of the original interior
began May 9, and the contractor
set a completion date in
September. The department of
economic development predicted
that, the retail stores won't be
open until June.
The site's retail section will
create 24 new jobs in the city,
according to City Hall records.
The origin al Tiger Theatre was
Auburn's first movie theatre. It
was used not only to show films,
but also as a stage for vaudeville
acts and touring groups. In the
1950s it entertained students
with the Auburn Knights, and in
that same decade it doubled as an
engineering classroom.
After paying overhead, facility
and utility fees and salaries, the
Auburn University Bookstore
just breaks even, according to
store manager Robert Riten-baugh.
The bookstore is an auxiliary
service of the University which
generates its own funding for
s a l a r i e s and other operating
costs.
Considered as one of the bookstore's
direct operating expenses
are contributions made to the
• University's business services
and to student affairs.
For the last few years, the
amount given to student affairs
has been around $.">( ),000 per year.
"The more we can generate, the
larger the size of the contribution,"
Ritenbaugh said.
Students' used books can be
purchased by the bookstore for 50
percent of their original cost.
Unless the book has been
"chewed by dogs" or is for other
reasons unusable, the condition
of the book is irrelevant, according
to Ritenbaugh.
The used book is then resold by
the bookstore for 75 percent of its
original cost, which Ritenbaugh
said is the "industry's average."
Of students' complaints that
they receive too little for their
used books, Ritenbaugh said.
"No matter what we paid it would
seem less t h an the book is worth."
He emphasized that high book
prices are not unique to Auburn
and that textbook prices have not
risen at the same rate as tuition.
Although most students want
to buy the cheaper, used books,
the bookstore also stocks new
copies of books for the students
who prefer new ones.
"The nature of the textbook
industry is very revision conscious,"
Ritenbaugh said, with
new editions for many books
coming out about every three

Bookstore offers students texts, memorabilia
years.
New additions are needed to
update material, but Ritenbaugh
also explained that new editions
are necessary for the publishers.
The used book market means a
smaller volume of new books
sold.
Professor Milton Alexander of
the management department,
who will choose the textbook to be
used for MN ,'S10, principles of
management, said that frequently
the new editions contain
only "cosmetic" changes, such as
rearranged chapters.
In determining which textbook
to adopt, each instructor must
know what kind of book will
complement his teaching style.
Alexander prefers a book that is
"logically laid out and lacking in
unnecessary extras."
To determine the number
required, Ritenbaugh considers
how many students took the class
the last quarter it was taught.
Also, if the book has been used for
m
several years, there may be a glut
of used books circulating, reducing
the number of new books
needed.
A student who owns a book
that has not been readopted by
the University may choose to sell
it to a used book wholesaler for
15-20 percent of its original cost.
Usually the wholesaler will sell
the book to other institutions for
a considerable mark-up.
Aside from textbooks, the
b o o k s t o r e c a r r i e s Auburn
apparel and insignia items.
According to Ritenbaugh, these
items generate a better margin of
profit than do textbooks because
of the graduated discount the
bookstore receives with large
apparel purchases.
send a message to secondary
institutions to better prepare athletes
at the high-school level.
However, NCAA President
Wilford Bailey feels that the rule
will not be accepted by the
national association.
"We are waiting for the results
of a major 10-year research project
that will evaluate the impact
of the proposition 48 program
from 1984 (two years before the
rule was implemented) to 1994,"
Bailey said. "I doubt.that the
strict requirements of the SEC
will be adopted at the next NCAA
convention in January."
Bailey praised the decision of
the SEC presidents, and said he
feels that "The SEC has gained
much respect across the country
by taking the leadership role to
increase academic standards.
"The things that Pat Dye is
saying are understandable from
a coach's point of view, but they
are out of step with present academic
philosophies," he said.
"The universities would not be
doing students any good by
accepting those who don't have a
chance to succeed."
Texas A&M Head Coach
Jackie Sherrill also commended
the SEC in its decision. "What the
SEC has done is it has taken a
step forward. They have set the
pace for the rest of the country,"
said Sherrill.
He believes that although his
Southwest Conference program
at Texas A&M does not have the
same academic standards for
prospects, it will not be long until
it does.
"It's going to be a national
issue," Sherrill said.
"I have strong feelings for the
little guys that didn't have the*
same opportunities that I did,"*
Dye said. "Proposition 48 is a|
good rule to me, but we haven't^
given it enough time to see if it's
going to work." , j
f\
The University of Georgia wasi
the forerunner in strengthening;
academics in the football pro-;
gram. Georgia enacted standards'
similar to the present new rule itii
1986 under President Fred Davi-!
son. This followed a widely-;
publicized case in which a former;
English Professor, J a n Kemp",'
claimed certain athletes were'
receiving preferential treatment!
in terms of academics. !
Current University of Georgia;
P r e s i d e n t C h a r l e s Knapp;
initially brought the rule before-the
conference presidents. He!
was unavailable for comment..!
However, Steve Frankel, special;
assistant to Knapp, spoke on his*
behalf . I
• k
"We are pleased now that we!
are on an equal playing field with!
the rest of the teams in the cori-j
ference," Frankel commented. ';
Georgia Head Coach VinceJ
Dooley, now in his 25th season.;
was also unavailable for coirti
ment. According to Frankel. Dob-ley
is supportive of the rule. i ;
I
"At the SEC meeting he (Dot)-!
ley) definitely did support Ihej
rule. He made the motion for it in'
a meeting among the athletjo
directors." I
i
In May the SEC coaches voted
9-1 against the rule, the direct)
opposite of the president's votes!
Dooley was its only supporter.

80's music
not bad
after all
Assistant
A & E Editor
KELLY
CHAPMAN
During the drive honk; from A
& P one day a friend of mine's
Doors Greatest Hits tape ended,
ejeeted, and Samantha Fox came
thumping out of the radio. This
sparked a new subject, one I've
heard lots of times before:
"God. I wish we'd grown up
during the '60s. Hack then then
was so much good music ... The
Who. Hendrix. Joplin. the Stones
•Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin...
"And look what we've not now.
Europe. Michael Jackson. Hon
Jovi. Cheap Trick and Van Halen
h a v e sold out. What went
wrong?"
I didn't answer. For the first
time, though, I decided to check
around and see if today's music
scene really is that wretched.
Surprise! It really hasn't
changed that much.
_ I'm sure fans of '60s and '70s
music are having conniptions
now, but bear with me. There is
still plenty of quality music out
there; it just sounds different.
j Here's my theory: Imagine
some guy in 1964 or so (perhaps
it's Jimmy Page or Jimi Hen-;
drix). He's playing his electric
guitar at a party, and as the party
gets louder he keeps turning it up.
Finally he reaches maximum
volume on his amp, and eureka!
Instead of going twang, now the
guitar goes grrrr.
'1'his guy shows all his friends his
new sound, and heavy '60s rock is
born. | o',.i,*f" "\4T>. •' ".'-'•'
j And, of course, we'alt^afl those
great bands and all those great
songs. What lovers of '60s rock
aren't noticing is the heavy gui
jj tar sound has run its course, and
the people making today's great
sjmgs have gone back to the
J twang sound. Which is about the
ohly difference between music
now and then.
j To name a few names: The
Cure, the Smiths, the Cult and
the Smithereens. These guys are
all making relevant songs with
creative music.
« Only a handful of today's good
bands are on the radio (Springsteen,
R.K.M., 112). but if you
check some record charts from
days gone by I think you'll find
tadio has always been dominated
by shlock bands that followed the
current trend, making songs for

Zap man's life rough
Photography: Brad Dale
Knox enjoys being recognized by students he "zaps"
By Richard Kirby
Assistant A & E Editor
Imagine you went to a big
party and as soon as you got
there, everyone started yelling
your name, trying to get your
attention. But no, you're not the
big man on campus, and you're
not even at the party to have fun.
You have a job to do. You're the
Zap Man.
Drew Smith, 04 BSC, is the
assistant head photographer at
Village Photographers. One of
his job duties is to be a party photographer,
or as so many people
know him, a Zap Man. He likes
his job. but he said at times it can
be hard to take.
"One time I almost got beaten
up at a party," Smith said. "It
was Halloween niijht and I was
at a big party. I was reloading
my camera when some guy trying
to get my attention punched
me in the back and knocked me
down." Smith said. "If ir gets too
out of hand, you leave."
Smith's job includes much
more than just taking pictures.
Getting along with the people he
sees at parties is an important
part of the job But Smith said
that can be a difficult task. Big
parties can be the hardest for a
photographer to shoot because of
the number of people. "People
scream at you like you're some
kind of peon," he said. Drunks
can be especially trying, he said.
But most of the time.vou just have
to grin and bear it. "At times
there's not a whole lot (about the
job) to like." Smith said.
Probably the best thing about
being a Zap Man is getting to go
out of town for formats. Smith
said. He has been to Florida,
Atlanta and New Orleans to take
pictures for fraternities.
Damon Knox, 04 OM. is the
head photographer at Village
Photographers and is also a Zap
Man. He added his feelings about
the best and worst aspects of
being a party photographer; The
worst thing that has ever happened
to him at a party is thai he
"got kicked in the butt once." lie
said. The party was large and
when he didn't turn around to
take a person's picture cjuickhi
enough, he got kicked. "It was-kind
of humiliating." he said.
One of the best parts of being a
party photographer is getting to
meet people. Knox said. "I've got
ten to be well-recognized." 1»-
said. "I'll be out somewhere and
someone will say, 'Hey. you're the
Zap Man!' I won't know them, hut
they'll know who I am."
Even with all the problems Zap
Men can face, the benefits of
being a party photographer far
outweigh the d i s a d v a n t a g e s.
Smith said. "Overall, it's a good
job."
Thrilling rides at Six Flags
satisfy jaded college students
i
•
>
Summer is a tough time to be a
student.
Other than the occasional
band party on the patio, there is
very little to do in Auburn on the
weekends.
That's why God ordained that
there should be a Six Flags
within driving distance of every
home, no matter what state you
live in.
(Incidentally, it's about the
time of year for Six Flags over
Kroger to reappear. The trucks
will bring it in one night and it
will stay for about a week. Here
the thrill comes not from the ride
itself but from wondering when
thai all-important k'ott.er pity will J
slip out; Causing'the collapse of"
the track that the roller coaster
rides on.)
Our nearest Six Flags is, of
course, over Georgia. (Sounds
like it might be suspended over
Georgia with fishing line or
something.)
Just an hour and a half from
Auburn in Atlanta, the park has
enough wild rides to satisfy jaded
college students and enough kiddie
attractions to please the most
immature of fraternity brothers.
The biggest new attraction at
Six Flags is the Z-Force, a ride
crammed into a small space
beside the Scream Machine.
Because it takes up so little space,
the thrills are mostly vertical
rather than horizontal. While not
in the league of the Mindbender,
it is nevertheless different.
Major concert attractions have
been scheduled for the summer
also. Heart and Michael Bolton
appeared on June 15 (sorry, you
already missed them), and
Richard Marx will appear this
summer.
If Six Flags has one drawback,
it is the admission price. The cost
of a one-day ticket, for an adult
(an adult is defined by Six Flags
as anyone more than 42 inches
tall) is $17.50 plus tax, which
could put a real strain on the
budget of the average college
student.
Also, with the heat being as it
is. you will need to take extra

Calendar artists needed
By Kelly Chapman
Assistant A & E Editor
The laid-back guy in the inner
tube that you see on UPC's
summer calendar won Morris
Galloway $50.
Galloway created the sun-bather
and took home first prize
in UPC's calendar cover art contest
for summer quarter.
"He was real tickled when he
won," Union Program Director
Marsha Darden said. "He's
entered several times before but
didn't win."
The contest has been going on
for about three years, Darden
said. There are usually eight to 10
entries each time, although there
were only three for the summer
quarter contest.
"We'd love to have mote
entries," Darden said. "It's a
great way for someone in design
or graphics to have their material
exposed.
"Our spring winner usually
has his design put on T-shirts as
well because of the Splash Into
Spring activities."
Entries should be taken to the
UPC office during the contest
period, which is announced in the
calendar. The winner is chosen
by UPC directors, and there is
only one prize, for first place. For
more information call the UPC
office at 826-5292.

JPIAVT REVIEW
Dirty Work starts slow, gains speed with riotous humor
The Telfair Peet Theatre
Upstairs was brought to life as
the' theater department opened
its third production of summer
quarter on July 28 with Dirty
Wort: at the Crossroads. This
mr^Oerramatic comedy, written
by Rill Johnson, is set in the
1890s and based on a play originally
written in 1867. The story
in-volves s i l l y , e x a g g e r a t ed
humor complete with a villian
a n d d a m s e l s in d i s t r e s s.
Although the humor starts out
slow, the jokes as well as the
characters are at their best by the
end of the second act.
A play set in a rural community
outside New Orleans, Dirty Work
at the Crossroads plays on the
.slapstick-type humor only found
today in such a work as Hee Haw.
The story moves along as villain
Munroe Murgatroyd. played
by Robert Patterson, deviously
swindles several women out of
their money. Although Murga-tro'yd
is already married to the
local showgirl Ida Rhinegold,
played by Gayle Guagliardo, he
attempts to swindle a local farm
girl, Nellie Lovelace, and after
failing, works on Leonie Aster-bilt,
an innocent city girl.
The humor that picks up the

pace of the play comes in the
third act when Murgatroyd gets
his due punishment for his dastardly
deeds. It is at this point
that Patterson brings his character
to its potential. By this time
Patterson has established himself
with the audience as the vil-

lain and is greeted with boos and
hisses and, occasionally, flying
popcorn.
The most delightful performance
of the evening was that of
Steve Coombs in the part of Moo-kie
Maguggins. Coombs plays
the part of a local farm boy with a
platonic affection for Nellie. His
outrageous back-woods accent,
red hair and freckles make him a
likable character from the beginning.
His naivete and charitable
nature are rewarded in the end as
he becomes sheriff and helps to
save Nellie and her love from the
vicious Murgatroyd.
Nellie, played by Laura Beas-ley,
is a good, steady girl who is
engaged to Adam Oakhart. She is
easily wooed by Murgatroyd and
soon finds she has wronged
Adam. Beasley seemed comfortable
on stage and gathered sympathy
from the audience as they
realized her plight.
Ida Rhinegold uses her womanly
ways to t r ap Nellie's true
love, Adam, played by Richard
Curtain, so t h a t Murgatroyd can
woo Nellie into running away
with him. Guagliardo is believable
as a likable villain and h a s a
strong voice t h a t is pleasant, but
distinct.
After Murgatroyd's plan for
Nellie is foiled and Adam is sent
unjustly to prison for murdering
Ida, Murgatroyd begins work on
a rich boarder at Nellie's, Leonie
Asterbilt, played by Amanda
Blackwell. Blackwell plays out
the part of an innocent, frivolous'
heartbreaker in a soft spoken and
understated manner. She captures
the air of a Southern Belle
without overacting.
The part of Asterbilt's maid,
Fleurette, must not go unnoticed
as Becky Hendrix brings this
small part to the attention of the
audience. Hendrix, using a
nearly flawless French accent,
wins the heart of Mookie as well

Book Reviews
Love in the Time of Cholera
Gabriel G a r c i a Marquez
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's
latest novel, Love in the Time of
Cholera, is positively disorienting.
The language is so lush
and so exotic that after bouts of
reading, I looked up, wondering
where I sat and where I stood.
With absolute confidence,
Marquez weaves a tale of love in a
society drenched in sorrow without
resorting to a false sentimentality.
He discovers, explores and
ultimately guides you and me
and humanity through the South
American jungles, and captures
not only the fatalism, but also the
absolute 'beauty of Love in the
Time of Cholera.
— B. Bryan Bittle
Right From The Beginning
P a t r i c k J . Buchanan
Patrick J. Buchanan, co-hostof
CNN's CROSSFIRE, recently
published his autobiography,
Right From The Beginning. The
conservative advocate traces the
development of his conservatism
from boyhood in '50s Washington
D.C. to his acceptance of an
advisory position from President
•Nixon.
Buchanan includes the bad
times as well as good — his collegiate
hellraising earned him a
one-year suspension from Georgetown.
A recent highlight was
the call from many Republicans
for a Buchanan presidential bid,
which he declined. Two key
points in the book are t h a t peaceful
coexistence with active communists
is impossible and in
FDR's words, "Welfare is a
narcotic." _ S a m g ^ ^
as the audience with her worldli-ness
and open affection.
The part of Mrs. Upson Aster-bilt,
widow of a Wall Street financier
and mother of Leonie, is not
seen until act two but then starts
the humor rolling. Monica Smith
brings this character the necessary
poise and maturity that it
calls for and is easily the most
relaxed on stage. Smith seems to
be completely at home as she
eases the audience into her mentally
deranged world with offbeat
humor.

The Cardinal of the Kremlin
Tom Clancy
In his latest riveting narrative,
Clancy delivers another fine
p a c k a g e of post-Cold war
intrigue made more interesting
with its delivery by increasingly
dimensional characters.
* Clancy has always been able to
tprn the vagueries of techno-babble
into gripping drama. In
Cardinal the backdrop concerns
the development by both the United
States and the Soviet Union
of a strategic defense system
which will render ballistic
nuclear weapons useless, as well
as open up a whole new can of
diplomatic worms.
In the treachery that prevails it
is impossible to proceed without
receiving detailed accounts of
technical and political ideology,
but Clancy handles it well. While
not always satisfying those in
the know on a particular subject,
he always keeps the details light
a n d i n t e r e s t i n g enough to
satisfy everyone else.

This production provides silly,

is something fun and different
that should be experienced by all

no reason other than money.
Ever hear of the Monkees? Do
you think a station would risk
ratings and play "Whole l.otta
Love" instead of "Daydream
Believer'".'
Nope. All that grt at rock music
from then was played on "underground"
KM s t a t i o n s . Those
bands never topped the charts.
And few of today's innovative
bands are topping the charts.
FM radio has gone to the dogs
(well, to the record buying
masses) since then, hut we still
have underground radio, and
they're still playing ^ood music.
It's college radio, and we've got a
station right here in Auburn.,
So for the people who are certain
nothing good has come out
since 1974. call WKGL and
request any of the names listed
above. 1 think you'll be pleased.
And the next time you're talking
to your aunt about the •Led
Zepor David Bowie show she wnv
in Tuscaloosa, wondering how
anybody that big would ever play
there, think: One day you'll have
a nephew or niece saying. "You
saw R.K.M.? In Auburn. Alabama?
Wow!"

Last week, the head football
coaches and athletic staffs of the
10 ^Southeastern Conference
Universities put on a show for
areai sports writers and sports-casters,
which represented some
300;media outlets in the south.
It-was the SEC Kickoff 1988
held at the Wynfrey Hotel in
Birmingham.
Ht)t topics of discussion ranged
from the All-SEC football team to
academics.
Balloting for the preseason
All^SEC football team returned
onfy three unanimous choices,
and-all three were from the state
of "Alabama. Two were from
Auljurn.
Must I tell you who they were?
Defensive tackle Tracy Rocker,
wi<je receiver Lawyer Tillman
and Alabama's inside linebacker
Deflrick Thomas were the names
onlevery ballot cast Friday for
thi^year's SEC team.
Six other Tigers joined Rocker
and Tillman. They were Walter
Reeyes at tight end, Jim Thompson"
in the offensive line, Benji
Roland at nose guard, Carlo
Cheattom at defensive back, Win
Lyle at place-kicker and Brian
Shulman at punter.
The expectations of repeating
as-SEC champion will be on
Auburn's back this year. The
voters chose the Tigers as the
team most likely to reach the
Sugar Bowl. They received 517
points and 18 first-place votes.
Georgia was handed 512 points
and 20 first-place votes to make
them a close second.

Aundray Bruce stood watching
his teammates scrimmage at the
Atlanta Falcons training camp.
He will be watching from the
sidelines Saturday night in
Foxeboro, Mass., also.
The Falcons will open their
exhibition game season against
the New England Patriots without
the services of the NFL's 1988
top draft choice.
Bruce has been recuperating
from an inoperable knee injury
which he suffered earlier this
summer. Ligaments were
strained when the 6-foot-5, 245-
pound linebacker twisted his
knee in training camp.
The way things stand now, the
former Auburn defensive standout
should be ready when the
regular season begins a month
from today.
"The doctors, first of all, say he
has a strong knee," said Falcon
coach Marion Campbell on the
status of his first-round selection.
"In a pass rush situation, he got it
twisted pretty good. But, it's
strong and he'll come back. That
part of his physical make-up will
be sound."
Bruce is expected to begin
working out with the team sometime
next week.
Campbell pointed out, however,
that he may miss more than
just the opening preseason game.
A coach doesn't take unnecessary
chances with the health of
an impact player, such as Bruce,
prior to the season.
As for himself, Bruce feels good
about his condition.
"I'm pretty comfortable now,"
Bruce said outside the Falcons'
locker room following the team's
Saturday morning practice. "I'm
getting my full-range motion
back, and I'm just looking for:.

Knee 'will be sound' for Falcons' regular season
Photography: Brad Dale
Bruce is recuperating from a knee injury at the Falcons' training camp in Atlanta
orders to ensure his complete
recovery.
"I'm not gonna go until the doctor
gives me the green light," said
Bruce. "I can jog on it now, but
it's still sore. I can't really cut on
it like I want to."
Bruce has recovered from
things before. He was once a shy
child growing up in the Gibbs Village
section of Montgomery. His
mother helped him along with
speech therapy. At times he was
bothered by people who doubted
his intelligence just because he
wasn't a "fast talker."
His brothers and sisters
-encouraged him to get involved
in school athletics. Bruce became
an outstanding high school football
and basketball player at
George Washington Carver High
School.
Did he ever dream as a youngster
of playing in the NFL?
"That's about all I could do was
dream," Bruce replied. "Nobody
really knows what's gonna
happen in the future."
Bruce received only one Division
I football scholarship
offer. He accepted the invitation
from Auburn and came to play
for coach Pat Dye.
While on the Plains, Bruce
earned All-SEC honors twice and
was a consensus All-American
his senior season at his outside
linebacker position. The reality
of a pro career was imminent.
In the Senior Bowl he was
named the Defensive Most Valuable
Player with his 16-tackle
performance among the collegiate
senior elite. It was apparent
that Bruce would be in the upper
echilon of the first-round
candidates.
The Falcons had just suffered a
disappointing 1987 season, with
a 3-12 record, and were granted
the first choice. They desperately
needed to rebuild their defense,
which finished last in the 28-
team league.
"I figured if it came down to the
Falcons picking ak defensive
player, I would be the man,"
Bruce said.
Many eyes will be upon the
Falcon rookie this season. The
challenge of living up to the
expectations of a number one
draft choice could have a positive
or negative effect on a player.
Bruce prefers taking the positive
outlook on the situation.
"I can't really think of it as
pressure," Bruce commented.'
"It's" incentive for me now. I
mean, as a personal thing, I have
to go out and satisfy Aundray.
"I don't want to be embarrassed.
I don't want to embarrass
my school. I don't want to embarrass
my family. So, I will just go
out and do what I can. Then
something positive should
happen, I hope."
There are no doubts in Campbell's
mind about Bruce meeting
the challenge.
"Aundray is such a talent,"
Campbell said. "He can do just
about anything from a lineback-ing
standpoint. Of course, he's
gonna have to learn the mental
aspects of it. But, as he goes down
the road he will be an outstanding
football player."
Among the many things Bruce
can do as a linebacker is rush the
passer. Putting pressure on
opposing quarterbacks is a
necessity for the Falcons this
season amid the multi-air attack
offenses of the present-day NFL.
Many people in Atlanta were
already familiar with the name
Aundray Bruce before he was
selected by the Falcons, maybe
too familiar.
At Atlanta's Grant Field
against Georgia Tech last season,
Bruce had the game of his
career. He tortured the Yellow
Jackets by intercepting three1
passes, causing a fumble, recovering
a fumble and sacking the
Tech quarterback three times.
Adding to those statistics,
Bruce returned the last of those
three interceptions 45 yards for
an Auburn touchdown. It was the
clincher in the Tigers' 20-10
victory.
"I'm kind of glad that a lot of

SEC match-ups highly anticipated as football season nears
Assistant
Spoils Editor
JON
COLLINS
Fasten those chinstraps.
Within a month, another college
football season will be upon
us. Excitement will grow to a
fever pitch over the next few
weeks.
Saturdays mean different
things to different people, but
there is nothing quite like a fall
Saturday to college football fans.
The air becomes a little crisper.
The leaves become a little brighter.
And the action and pageantry
of SEC football fits in
perfectly.
Key Games:
Sept. 3 — Tennessee at
Georgia:
This SEC battle is a perfect
season opener. It will pit the
Volunteers' Reggie Cobb against
the Bulldogs' Rodney Hampton
'between the hedges.' Cobb tied
the SEC scoring record last season
with 120 points and 20 touchdowns.
Hampton should carry
the pigskin frequently since Lars
Tate has left Athens.
Sept. 10 — Florida at Ole Miss:
Both teams struggled in the
conference last season. Gator
fans aren't used to that. Ole Miss
coach Billy Brewer will be looking
for an early-season upset at
home in Jackson.
Sept. 17 — LSU at Tennessee:
This will be a night game in
90,000-plus Neyland stadium,
and one of the best match-ups of
the year. Two exceptional signal
callers will dual in this showdown.
LSU's Tom Hodson is
among the nation's best. Tennessee's
Jeff Francis came through
when Johnny Majors needed him
most last season.
S e p t . 2 4 — T e n n e s s e e at
Auburn:
Tennessee will be Auburn's
first real test of the season. A
frustrating 20-20 tie in '87 should
provide incentive for this contest.
But, who needs incentive for this
classic rivalry?
Oct.l — LSU at Florida:
Galen Hall's Gators will be
remembering last year's tough
13-10 loss to the Bengal Tigers.
Two Heisman Trophy hopefuls
are highlighted in this SEC
clash. Sophomore sensation
Emmitt Smith will lead the
Gators ground attack against a
talented Hodson aerial attack.
Oct.8 — Auburn at LSU:
This should live up to be the
best inner-conference battle of
the year. All eyes will be on the
Bayou for the war between the
Tigers in Baton Rouge's noisy
Tiger Stadium, known to some
victimized teams as "Deaf.
Valley."
These two SEC powerhouses of
the '80s may engage in a defensive
struggle with each boasting
intimidating All-America candidates.
Auburn's defensive tackle
Tracy Rocker and LSU's linebacker
Ron Sancho will be looked
to by their respective teams to
hault the others' offensive
scheme.
Oct. 15 — Alabama at Tennessee:
No matter how well the Big
Orange survives its demanding
first three conference foes, they
will be up for this heated rivalry,
especially since the Tide has won
the last two meetings by decisive
margins.
Bama's Heisman candidate
Bobby Humphrey has run well
against the Vols' defense in the
past and should be the center of
attention if he is healthy.
Oct.22 — Georgia at Kentucky:
This one was a good game last
season. Jerry Claiborne's Wildcats
almost pulled the upset in
Vince Dooley's backyard, losing
17-14. These two teams will go at
it like 'cat and dog.'
Oct. 29 — Auburn at Florida:
The Tigers played well in last
season's 29-6 thrashing of the
Gators. Pat Dye's stingy defense
held Smith to only 72 yards on
the ground. He will have to be
contained again if Auburn plans
on ending their string of losses at
Gainesville.
The home-field advantage is
important in this series. Florida
has won every meeting between
the two teams on their turf since
1972.
Nov.5 — LSU at Alabama:
' A strange development in this
rivalry is that the visiting team
has fared the best lately. Bill
Curry came out of Baton Rouge
with a 22-10 win in '87. That
happens to be the last game
Bama has won. Second-year
LSU coach Mike Archer will have
his Bengal Tigers eager to roam
on Legion Field.
— Georgia at Florida:
The 'biggest cocktail party in
the world' will, of course, be
played in Jacksonville for neutrality.
The bitter foes have
swapped wins for the past five
years with Georgia prevailing 23-
10 last time. Florida will be hoping
to maintain consistency in
the series.
Nov. 12 — Georgia at Auburn:
The Bulldogs' hedges were
trimmed in '87 as Jeff Burger
connected on 22 of 32 passes
en route to a 27-11 victory. Reggie
Slack may play a big role in the
'88 version of the 'no love loss'
rivalry.
He should have some big
games and more of that, all-important
confidence under his'
belt. All conference games are'
important, but this one could
determine if Auburn retains the .
SEC crown.
Nov.25 — Auburn at Alabama:
Curry became inaugurated into
this tradition-rich, intrastate'
rivalry in '87 — to the tune of a
10-0 shutout. With the recent
adversity that has surfaced in
Tuscaloosa, this season-ending'
game will culminate a' gut-check'
year for the Crimson Tide
mentor.
The Tigers have won four out of'
the last six contests. The series
record in the '80s stands at 4-4.
Curry has never beaten Dye.
With the sweltering dog days of
summer upon us now, try to stay .
cool and hold, on for a few more
weeks. Hey, there is a lot to look •
forward to.

McCall dreams of a comeback
By Ruthanne Ortman
Staff Writer
If the summers in Alabama
aren't already hot enough, the
summers in Auburn always
seem to be at least 10-15 degrees
hotter, especially on the football
practice field in August.
Aug. 25, 1985 started out as a
normal practice day for the Tiger
football team. But it was a day
that Anthony McCall may not
soon forget.
McCall, a 6-foot-4 freshman
from Montgomery, experienced a
trauma that might change his
life as a football player.
Near the end of practice, while
the team was working on two-minute
offense, McCall's heart
started to beat rapidly and he
began to hyperventilate.
MrCall was taken by ambulance
to East Alabama Medical
Center, where he was diagnosed
as having an arrhythmia, an
irregular heartbeat associated
with respiration.
"I felt like I was dying at first.
It really scared me," McCall said.
McCall, a lean 180-pound wide
receiver, said he believed he was
of good strength and that even
though the practices at Auburn
were more strenuous than high
school, he's not sure what caused
the attack.
McCall, now 21 years old, said
that he had been playing football
for as long as he can remember.
When he was a child he used to
play football with his brothers,
McCall said. McCall went on to
play football every year from
e l e m e n t a r y school until his
freshman year at Auburn.
McCall, a Sidney Lanier High
School graduate, signed to play
football at Auburn with outstanding
players like Lawyer
Tillman, Benji Roland and Carlo
Cheattom. With McCall's quickness
he too was considered to be a
top prospect. But McCall's heart
'I felt like I was
dying at first. It
really scared me.'
— Anthony McCall
stood in the way.
Before the opening game
against Southwestern Louisiana
in 1985, the doctors said that
McCall, after being treated with
medication, was ready to return
to practice.
McCall participated in practices
and was able to play for a
short time in the first and maybe
last football game of his college
career.
The next week in practice,
McCall said that he had sprained
his ankle and could not dress out
for the second game. Afterwards
his football career went downhill.
McCall continued to suffer
from arrhythmia during practices
until one time, while the Tigers
were in Texas for the Cotton
Bowl, McCall suffered an attack
in his hotel room. McCall said
that this was the first time that
he had experienced an attack
under normal circumstances.
After being examined by a cardiologist,
McCall said he was
diagnosed as having a collapsed
mitral valve. The doctors told
McCall that the condition could
be subsided by taking medication
and cutting down activity levels.
"Fear was always there,"
McCall said. "I didn't know what
effect it would have on me," he
said.
McCall said that he had visited
countless numbers of doctors during
fall quarter and still tried to
continue with football. McCall,
continuing to have heart problems,
said he had to give up football
winter quarter of 1986.
Spring quarter brought more
problems and more visits to doctors
which forced McCall to
travel to Montgomery several
times during the week. McCall
said' he finally had to withdraw
from school because of missed
classes.
I n fall of 1986, McCall
returned, but had to withdraw
again winter quarter because he
said, "I had my priorities all
messed up."
McCall returned, once again, to
the Plains in spring of 1987, but
