foods presented the resolution as
well as a statement from the
Faculty Senate Commission on
Academic Studies and Athletics.
According to the statement, the
Auburn University Committee of
Intercollegiate Athletics adopted
an Athletic Statement of Philo­sophy
Dec. 4, 1987, which said
"Auburn University's goal is to
recruit and admit only those
student-athletes who have a
responsible chance to succeed
academically and to make satis­factory
progress toward their
degrees."
The resolution passed unanim­ously,
and copies of the statement
and resolution will be sent to
Martin, Dye, to the presidents
and athletic directors of all other
SEC institutions, the Executive
Director of the SEC, the Board of
Trustees of Auburn and to the
President of the National Colle­giate
Athletic Association.
The statement and resolution
stem from Athletic Director Pat
Dye's recent condemnation of the
SEC presidents' decision.
Dye maintains that enforce­ment
of this rule will only "hurt
the little guy" and lead to cheat­ing
among Universities.
In other action, Dr. Dennis
Rygiel of the English department
presented the report from the Ad
Hoc Academic Standards Com­mittee,
which was established to
investigate admission standards
approved by the Board of Trus­tees
and how these standards dif­fered
from those recommended
by the Academic Standards
Committee.
The report stated that "the
matter of academic standards
has caused strains.especially in
the past year, in the relation­ships"
among the Senate, Cen­tral
Administration and the
Board.
The report also stated that the
Board's decision to "put aside
academic policy developed by the
Senate and Central Administra­tion"
was one of the major factors
leading to tensions among the
groups.

Littleford dismissed
By Kay Taylor
News Editor
In a letter from President
James E. Martin dated Aug. 16,
Dr. Michael Littleford officially
received notice of termination of
employment with the University.
Martin's letter stated that
"After consideration of the opin­ion
of the Faculty Hearing Com­mittee
and review of the record of
hearing held on August 8,1988,1
(Martin) am sustaining the
Committee's recommendation of
dismissal, -and your tenured
appointment and employment
^are hereby termiri'ated." - -
Littleford, a professor in the
education department and the
first tenured Auburn professor to
be dismissed in 17 years, would
not comment on her immediate-plans,
but said the decision
stated the letter was "expected."
Legal counsel for the Univer­sity,
Thomas Samford III,
declined to comment on the deci­sion,
as it concerns a matter of
personnel.
"I've looked at the procedure
we're operating under and public
comment is to be avoided wher­ever
possible," Samford said.
The letter also stated that
under the proceedings for faculty
dismissal listed in the Faculty
Handbook, Littleford has the
right to appeal the decision to the
Board of Trustees by written
request within five days of the
date of the Hearing Committee's
recommendation.
The letter stated that Aug. 16
would be considered the first day
for appeal.
Martin said that Jie assumed
"trie* guidelines foP'trle "appeal
would be set forth by the Board.
"I have not been involved in
any such process while here, and
assume they (Board) would
establish the process, should
such a process be necessary,"
Martin said.
Littleford's attorney, Julian
McPhillips, said that Littleford
would "definitely appeal to the
Board."

Appeals court hears professor's claim
By Kay Taylor
News Editor
In 11th Circuit Court of
Appeals sitting in Birmingham
yesterday, oral arguments were
heard in the case of Auburn
mechanical e ngineering Profes­sor
John Turner.
Turner is appealing an Aug. 10,
1987, ruling by Judge Truman
Hobbs which overturned an ear­lier
jury verdict which found that
Auburn had violated Truman's
rights to freedom of speech.
The federal jury found that
Turner had been transferred
from the department of mechani­cal
engineering because of his
participation in a report critical
of the department.
Turner and four other profes­sors
published the report, entitled
Mechanical Engineering at
Auburn University — A Review,
in October of 1986 and were
transferred to other departments
on Nov.6,1986. However, thejury
found that only Turner had been
transferred as a result of the
report.
In overturning the jury's deci­sion,
Hobbs agreed that Turner
was moved from the department
because of his involvement with
the report,but said the professors'
report was not protected by the
First Amendment because it is
not a matter of "public concern."
"The issue at stake today is
whether a self-study was of public
concern," Julian McPhillips,
legal course': , said.
"Now, a balancing of interests
must take place between Auburn
University and the faculty. The
points to be considered are

Warren W. Brandt, who became
the University's vice president
for academic affairs on Oct. 1,
1984, retired Aug. 1, at age 65.
Since Brandt accepted the
position in the department of
academic affairs, the University
has seen a steady increase in
enrollment and an Expansion of
the graduate student body to a
record 2,070 in fall 1987.
"We have an improving
student body academically. It is
easily the best-qualified student
body in Alabama and ranks well
in the southeast," Brandt said.
During Brandt's tenure, there
was an increase in contract and

totalled more than $22 million

Expert says Americans 'chew the fat'too often
By Leslie Harris'
Staff Writer
The typical American diet con­sists
of 40 percent fat as calories,
according to Margaret Craig-
Schmidt, assistant professor in
Auburn's department of nutri­tion
and foods.
But fat in the diet should be
limited to 30 percent or less,
Craig-Schmidt said, concentrat­ing
on the total fat. Con­sumers
also need to learn which
fats are needed in the diet and
which foods supply those needed.
Fat basically makes up the
components of the diet that are
not soluble in water, Craig-
Schmidt said, who has done
research on linoleic acid, the
primary polyunsaturated fatty
acid needed in the diet.
The physiological effect of
linoleic acid was studied by feed­ing
lab animals a diet deficient in
essential fatty acids and compar­ing
them to animals fed a diet
that contained 10 percent soy­bean
oil, Janet McCoy said in an
Auburn University News letter.
"We found that the incidence of
lung disease was significantly
increased...by 58.3 percent...in
the animals fed a diet deficient in
polyunsaturated fat over the
other group," Craig-Schmidt
said. "An understanding of it
(essential fatty acids) may help to
prevent or reduce the effects of
various types of lung diseases."
According to Craig-Schmidt,
several ways to reduce fat in the
diet are to "choose low-fat dairy
products; instead of whole milk,
use 2 percent. Choose a ba^el
instead of a doughnut...a bagel is
very low (in fat), a doughnut very
high," Craig-Schmidt said.
Also moderately trimming fat
before cooking and additional
trimming after cooking reduces
dietary fat, she said.
"You only need a small amount
as essential fatty acids...around
1-2 percent of calories should be
linoleic acids," she said. Good
sources of this are corn oil, soy­bean
oil and other plant oils.
"Fruits and vegetables generally
are low in fat and are good (food)
choices. Fast foods, fried foods,
TV dinners and processed foods
can be high in fat," she said.
Craig-Schmidt explains how to
calculate the fat in a food by look­ing
at the label: Find the grams of
fat and multiply it by nine calo­ries
per gram to get the calories
because of fat. Divide the calories
because of fat by the total calories
and multiply by 100 to get the
percentage.
Maintaining a good diet "boils
down to something very simple
and that's a matter of balance
and variety — the basic four
(food groups) and not too much of
any one food," Craig-Schmidt
said.
Brandt said he came to Auburn
because he was excited by the",
opportunity to participate in the
changes being made at the
University.
He said his overall goal was "to
make headway."
"We have made a significant
infusion of faculty. We have some
of the strongest deans you'll find
anywhere," Brandt said.
Also during his four years at
Auburn, he set out to establish a
core curriculum for all students.
That curriculum is now ready for
the president's approval to go
before the Board of Trustees.
Brandt said he has seen
improvement academically in
many of the schools and colleges
at the University.
"Human sciences and educa­tion
have made significant pro­gress."
he said.
He feels the division of the Col­lege
of Arts and Sciences into the
College of Science and Mathe­matics
and the College of Liberal
Arts was helpful.
"It gives liberal arts a chance to
be themselves," he said.
Brandt said he does not believe
the Alabama State Legislature's
failure to adopt an education
budget during its regular session
will harm the University.
"We haven't seen any signifi­cant
hurt. Most of the recruiting
of faculty is done in the spring. It
does, however, create an admi­nistrative
problem. There is a lot
of paperwork that can't be done.
"Most states at one time or
another have gone through the
same thing. It's a symptom of the
political system we have now
with a republican governor and a
democratic legislature," he said.
Brandt stated that he thinks
the Auburn Conference Center
will bring a tremendous contribu­tion
to the University.
"The center will bring groups to
campus that have never been
able to come before," Brandt said.
"A lot of people will get to see
what Auburn is accomplishing." •

Willie D. Larkin, organiza­tional
specialist for the Alabama
Cooperative Extension Service
has been selected by the W. K.
Kellogg Foundation to partici­pate
in Group IX of the Kellogg
Fellowship program.
"It is a leadership training pro­gram,"
Larkin said, which will
jnclude traveling to other cul­tures
"to" study "leadership,- eco­nomic
development and human
services.
According to Larkin, the pro­gram
lasts for three years in
which seminars will be held twice
a year, and each member will be
given $35,000 to design an indi­vidual
study plan. "What I'm
interested in learning is what
impact work ethics, values and
human motivation have on eco­nomic
development in rural
communities," Larkin said. He
plans on studying economic sys­tems
in the United States. Japan,
Korea, China and Mexico.
"What I'm going to learn will
be beneficial to Auburn," Larkin
said. As an organizational spe­cialist
for the Extension Service,
Larkin said he works with com­munity
groups around Alabama
teaching them leadership skills
such as how to conduct effective
meetings, how to organize, and
"whatever needs to be done in a
community to improve the over­all
quality of life."
Some of the groups he works
with are chambers of commerces,
. garden cl.ubs,.s.choo] .systems and
generally any taxpaying organi:'
zation, Larkin said.
Larkin's wife Vivian and two
children, Anthony, 12, and Ste­phanie,
5, are proud of his partic- -
ipation in the program although
it will require a lot of traveling.
"They miss me when I'm gone.
My kids want to know what I'm
going to bring them back from
my trips," Larkin said.
Larkin applied four years in a
row for the program "knowing
that I would be successful at get­ting
it," he said.

Journey down memory lane reveals changes
Flashback:
Auburn University in 1963
By Sarah Anne Henderson
Staff Writer
The year is 1963.
Women are just starting to
wear beehives, men wear wash-and-
go flat-tops and "the twist" is
the hottest dance around.
And music? Why, the Beach
Boys, of course.
At Auburn University, total
enrollment is about 10,000, tui­tion
is around $85 per quarter and
many changes are taking place.
rent Auburn resident.
One of the worst things that
can happen to a coed is coming in
after curfew. The house mother's
peaceful sleep would be disturbed
to unlock the door, and the
embarrassed girl would usually
face some sort of disciplinary
action, Laumer said.
"The curfews saved a lot of
girls from unhappy dating expe­riences,"
said Laumer. "You
could always say you were on
some type of restriction and that

Integration is a divisive issue,
Haley Center and the hill dorms
are non-existent and Draughon
Library is still referred to as
"new."
When it comes to student life­styles,
the word "rule" has an
entirely different connotation for
students 25 years ago compared
to students today.
There are strict guidelines to be
followed — especially for women.
Almost all women live in the
quad dorms, and signing out is
mandatory when leayittg "-and'*
upon returning, sai^TMrs. Ford
Laumer, Class of '63 and a cur-you
had to be in by a certain
time."
Women must get approval from
the head resident and the Dean of
Women for overnight trips. Also,
there is absolutely no male visita­tion
in the dorms, and curfews
are strictly enforced by the
Women's SGA.
Alcohol is socially and legally
out of the question, particularly
for women. If a woman is caught
drinking, prompt action is taken
by the WSGA, including possible
suspension from school.
"We did have fun," assured
Laumer. "We did think some of
the rules were silly, but since ev­erybody
had to follow them, it
wasn't that bad."
This point is echoed by Dr. Bert
Hitchcock, Class of '63 and cur­rently
head of the English
department at Auburn.
"If students did do something
against University rules, they
just did it before curfew," Hitch­cock
said.
Life for men had its ups and
downs, too.
Auburn men lived in either fra­ternity
houses or off-campus
rooms. "Someone even remodeled

something against
University rules,
they just did it
before curfew.'
—Bert Hitchcock
a greenhouse one time and rented
it out to students," Hitchcock
said.
Men had to serve at least two
years in ROTC.
Air Force ROTC was a popular
choice because the cadets didn't
have to carry rifles, Hitchcock
said.
But for the men who wouldn't
advance after two years, things
did tend to get a little slack, he
said. Some men even wore som­breros
to drills — just to annoy
officers in charge.
Much of the social life centered
on Greek parties, mainly because
there weren't any "respectable"
bars for dates.
The men would pick up their
dates at the dorm and take them
to fraternity parties; going to a
man's apartment was considered
unladylike, Laumer said.
Yet, an interesting change over
the last 25 years has been the
narrowing gender gap. In 1963,
Auburn's student body was about
75 percent male and 25 percent
female.
Also, ODK, Phi Eta Sigma,
Spades and Circle K, to name a
few, were exclusively male. Mor-
. tar Board was forewomen only
, and; thej;e5. were separate SGAs
with separate elections.?:

women included home econom­ics,
.education and the arts, Lau­mer
said. The other schools were
sparsely populated with women,
but that was also because their
choices of study were limited.
Completion of six quarters of
physical education classes was
required for every woman, and a
swimming class had to be passed
to graduate from college. Some
people were kept off the Dean's
List because of poor PE grades,
Laumer said.
"We were envious of people
with allergies who had a doctor's
excuse and couldn't take the
classes," she said.
But the perennial issue of life
after graduation was still heavy
on Auburn students' minds.
Concerns about careers and
what the future would hold lin­gered
in a political climate satu­rated
with thoughts of the Civil
Rights movement and the ques­tion
of desegration.
Auburn students reacted to
integration in their characteris­tically
conservative manner.
"There was a great amount of
tension...although there were no
demonstrations here. Students
were very concerned (about the
implications of the events at the
University of Alabama)," Hitch­cock
said.
But The Auburn Plainsman
took a liberal stance for the time,
and criticized the views of the
administration, said Dr. James
Foy, who was Dean of Students
at Auburn from 1954-1978, in the
midst of this transition.
Yet once the decision was made
to integrate Auburn, the admin­istration
strived for peaceful
calm against the turmoil of
change. Before returning to
school in January of 1964, stu­dents
had to sign a pledge stating
they would abide by the law.

Heretic searches for Temptation
Although the religious move­ment
to block The Last Tempta­tion
of Christ from movie theat­ers
nationwide appears to have
been at least moderately success­ful,
Christian leaders may regret
their fervor once the fury has died
and they realize the opportunities
that they have missed.
For approximately two weeks,
fundamentalists throughout the
Bible Belt garnered the most
solid populist support of any
national campaign since Coke
changed the secret formula, and
all they accomplished was the
partial boycott of an "ungodly"
movie.
Many of the issues which zea­lots
have pushed for years were
lost in a self-destructive media
avalanche which served primar­ily
as free publicity for the con­troversial
film, which will still be
viewed at theaters in every state
and will be available at video
s t o r e s n a t i o n w i d e w i t h in
months.
Leaders of the movement
merely fostered a crippling,
short-sighted crisis mentality
without changing anything for
the long term.
More important social issues
including rural poverty, home-lessness,
drug abuse, teenage
pregnancy and illiteracy have
never received the concentrated
attention of Bible-thumpers to
the degree Temptation has. Per­haps,
Heaven forbid, a few of
them might have been solved by

now.
Neither did they use their
crisis-du-jour to focus on such
pressing moral calamities as
firewater-drinking or dirty, dirty-dancing.
Why, any pea-brain
would know that this country is
going to Hell in a handbasket.
Why didn't they relish their
opportunity to save the souls of
all mankind?
I n s t e a d , the righteous few
chose to persecute big, bad Hol­lywood
( t h a t ' s Sodom and
Gomorrah, to you and me) for its
most flagrant attempt to over­throw
the Kingdom of God. The
message they are sending the
world is clear: hardcore love
scenes and gut-wrenching vio­lence
are OK, as long as directors
don't talk about Jesus.
Well, it might come as a hor­rible
shock to some of you, but
many of us wouldn't be remotely
interested anyway. I have not
seen the movie, and I will not pay
$4 to see the movie, and I hope
that I am never forced by some
Gideon-toting grandma and her
pimply Sunday-school class to
view the film because, frankly, I
know how it ends.
Also, God or no God, I can smell
bad entertainment a mile away.
But what I am smelling now is
substantially stronger and more
odious t h a n a .bad movie; in fact,
I'm catching whiffs of the "c"
word: c-e-n-s-o-r-s-h-i-p.
It irks me t h a t I would have to
drive two hours to Atlanta to see
the movie if I wanted to. It irks me
that Bill Bright of the Campus
Crusade for Christ thinks t h a t he
has the right to buy every copy of
the film and tell me what to see,
do and, ultimately, think. And it
irks me that Carmike Cinemas
will only show what the good
f u n d a m e n t a l i s t s tell them is
appropriate..
(Also inappropriate, you will
remember from past incidents,
are such horrible works as The
Grapes of Wrath. Green Eggs and
Ham, The Diary of Anne Frank
and, the clincher, Tom Sawyer.
Can y'all imagine why anyone
with any couth or moral fiber
would even think of reading such
gah-bage?)
For a few, glowing days, the
Bible Belt tied its noose around
America's neck, choking out any­thing
which might seem threat­ening
to baseball, mom and apple
pie. But now that the blood has
rushed back into our heads, we
can breathe deeply and think for
ourselves again.
And so, without further ado, '
the religious Right has been
exiled back into the relative com­fort
and obscurity of dirt-road
churches, ice cream socials,
prayer meetings, baptisms-by-immersion,
bi-monthly revivals
and late-night televangelist ,
shows. I
Good riddance. '.
Reunion shows you can't go home again
Friday, Sept. 28, 1985, almost
three years ago, I returned to my
home in Mobile for the first time
since leaving there to begin my
freshman year at Auburn. I rode
with three other girls, and the
three-hour trip seemed to take
about six. As we entered the city
we rolled down the windows and
screamed the shrill, foolish
screams of teenage girls at eve­ryone
we passed.
It was the only way we could
express the joy of our homecom­ing
within the confines of the
cramped car, and yet I couldn't
share completely the feelings of
the others who had boyfriends
eagerly awaiting their arrival.
All I had to look forward to was a
casual reunion of friends.
Saturday morning I met Jill,
Dave, David and Brian at Dave's
house for a day of catching up. I
had carefully selected my outfit
— faded jeans and a wrinkled
sweatshirt — striving for t h a t air
of confident indifference so char­acteristic
of our new status as col­lege
students.
After the hugs we settled into a
comfortable routine. We were all
18, all f r e s h m e n at differ­ent
colleges and had known each
other through the awkward
Assistant

ROBERTS
'stages of childhood. We had
skipped school together, had
mini-romances with one another
and dressed up for the prom
together. We were an active
group, our fellowship based on
doing things with rarely any
thought given to who we were
with as long as we were having
fun.
Lounging around the televi­sion,
we half-watched a football
game and chatted about our new
lives, each of us proud of our
"maturity." My dress code was
mirrored in everyone — t he pains
to a p p e a r i n d i f f e r e n t was
obvious. We were people of ideals
now, too preoccupied with inde­pendence
to worry about trivial
matters like clothes. We were
impressed with ourselves: We
were old, we were wise. High
school and its futile fumblings
were ages ago.
We compared notes on dates,
f r a t e r n i t i e s , s o r o r i t i e s and
grades, laughing at our predicta­bility
and how much had not
changed. I quickly grew bored
with rehashing these same sub­jects
t h a t had become the center
of my life in just a few short
weeks, and restless for action, I
gazed through a nearby window.
I saw all of the neighborhood
children riding their bicycles in
front of t he house, weaving intri­cate
designs on the street as the
wheel spokes b l u r r e d and
focused.
The conversation in the room
had turned to what our evening
plans should be and resulted in
the usual indecision. Jill sug­gested
a movie, which I vetoed
because we were seeking cheaper
entertainment. Dave wanted to
go out to eat and Brian was push­ing
for a band party. David
remained silent until asked his
opinion, and then he replied
simply, "I don't care what we do
as long as we're all together."
The conversation skipped a
beat in silence, separating us
forever from the past. One by one
we wandered outside to the front
lawn, awkward with the silence.
The small talk resumed as we
sprawled on the brown winter
grass. We took turns throwing a
soggy tennis ball to a neighbor­hood
stray, and the boys stood in
the street tossing a football in
great, curving arcs over our
heads.
I watched David, the boy I have
known all these years, and won­dered
why he'd said "as long as
we're all together." No one had
laughed a t t o rn though, for there
was nothing- funny about the
people we were becoming and the
passage of time.
With the football still soaring
between them, I got up to leave.
We arranged to meet back at
Dave's later, with nowhere in
particular to go. The dry leaves
burst with,the ripeness of fall
under my feet as I walked to the
car. I pulled away from the curb
and checked my rearview mirror.
All of the children playing in the
street were gone.
Three years of college and con­siderable
physical distance have
long since slackened the weave of
our close group, each of us shed­ding
away like loose threads. The
one time, though, that we were
the closest — the peak of our
understanding of the true mean­ing
of friendship — pushed me
further into adulthood than any
other experience in my life..

What do you think the Republicans will have to use as the
main plank in their platform to win the presidential election ?
Robby Gault Aletris Gibbons Tim Martin Trisha Thorton
03 MN 01 PN 04 CSS 04GSC
The Republicans are
going to have to emphas­ize
how they will keep
taxes down as opposed to
the Democrats.
They will need to base
their platform on the past
accomplishments of the
Republican party.
It will have to be a com­bination
of the daycare
problem and also try to
deal with the trade deficit
and the deficit.
Bush has to walk a fine
line between conveying
that his ideals are intact
with Reagan's policies
and proving that he has a
mind of his own and is not
just an extension v>f*.
Reagan.
Campus frivolity runs rampant
I have a question.
If a fool and his money are
soon parted, when exactly does
this happen? Is t h a t around the
same time our parents send us
off to college? And is it before or
after we leave Record Bar?
At any rate, it raises a good
topic of conversation, MONEY.
Does the average college stu­dent,
have a n y concept of
money? (As for those of you t h at
don't fit this genre, please
excuse my generalizations.)
It amazes me t h a t those stu­dents
who are fortunate enough
to get financial aid from home
don't seem to realize that it
could stop coming. Of course,
life as we know it could also
cease to exist tomorrow, but
t h a t ' s another point, and not
one I want to dwell on right
now.
I know, we are all frivolous'
sometimes, but there's got to be
a line somewhere and maybe it
should be with money. And
maybe mom and dad should
draw that line; but they won't,
and t h a t ' s sad.
When parents don't set any
limits on spending (especially
spending of their own money)
they are creating a monster.
When students are forced to
budget their money, they learn
some personal money man­agement
principles. But heaven
forbid that daddy's darling lit­tle
girl should have to learn

that.
The ironic part is t h a t parents
do it out of love."I want my child
to have everything I never
had." Whoever first gave this
message was kind indeed, and
fast on the way to bankruptcy.
Where's the love in teaching
someone t h a t he doesn't have to
work for anything?
I see expensive cars in the
parking lots of Auburn under­graduates.
I may not know
exactly what they are, but I do
know t h a t daddy probably
bought them.
And d a d d y might even
replace them, but maybe not.
Daddy might wise-up during
those four years too.
P e r h a p s the student has
already worked this out, insured
himself a position that will get
him $50,000 per year upon gra­duation
from the institution of
h i s choice. That would be
pleasant.
Few students lead a life so
cushy, but t he majority of them
do seem frivolous, just on a
smaller scale.
The food bill is always a good
item to refer to when discussing
this topic. -',
College students eat outAo
celebrate a victory, to keep from
cooking, to drown their sorrow^
(often this meal is accompanied'
by some spirits) or for any other
reason, plausible or not, that;
comes to mind. 1 l~
You would think that after all-this
dining experience these
students would learn the finer
points of restaurant etiquette,
like tipping the waitress, but -
unfortunately this is not the
case. k-.
I am also so glad to see the5
campus brimming over with-*
such a well-dressed group "of "v
socially-conscious individuals.
Mother would be appalled if she
knew what you were wearing,
but perhaps she would under­stand
if she knew that mink
coats and bare bottoms were in.'
It would be interesting to find
out just how many Spiegel
magazines are floating around
this village.
I t ' s important for students to
look good especially when they
are combing the beaches of
Florida. Road tripping is an
integral part of college life,
probably because it is so
expensive.
Just remember, live fast, die
young and leave a good-looking
corpse. And don't worry about
the flowers. It wouldn't be good
to bounce another check.

Plainsman today?"

Simms to travel to Olympics
By S a r a h Hicks
Assistant News Editor
Pr&fessor Jack Simms, head of
Au'tmr'n's journalism depart­ment,
will be traveling to Seoul in
September to cover some of the
events in the Olympic Games.
"Tlie job requires long hours
and-it's not glamorous, although
ovepyone thinks so." Simms said.
He will supervise 10 writers from
the Associated Press who will
cover events not given extensive
television coverage.
These non-glamour events
include archery, fencing, shoot­ing
a n d rowing. The pool of wri-terslwill
cover a total of 16 events
ancfa two of three exhibition
events, those that are not offi­cially
recognized but many
becahie so after a trial basis.
This will beSimm's fourth time
to tjoVer the Games. He was an
organizer for the AP in the Mont-real
Olympics in 1976, in the
Moscow Olympics in 1980 which
the>United States boycotted, and
in the Los Angeles Olympics in
1988.
He originally worked with AP
for 23 years before accepting the
position at Auburn. During the
last years of service he was an
advance man to the Montreal
Olympics for 1973-74. Since then
the; AP has considered him an
expert in the field and have asked
him to come back and serve as
supervisor in subsequent Games.
Simms talked positively of his
years with the news agency.
'After 23 years, the AP is my
i\\raa mater. It's a tremendous
outfit., in fact, I would still be
thej-e'if this Auburn job hadn't
i orne up. That was my chance to
cofne back home," Simms said.
Heltook his position as the jour­nalism
head in 1974.
Simms will be supervising a
multinational staff including
writers from Tokyo, Paris. New
York, New Delhi. Brussels, Min
ne4polis and Santa Barbara.
Also on ihe staff will be recent
Ay-burn graduate Stephanie
Warnecke, who is scheduled to
cover- sychrohize'd swimming
and equestrian sports.
"With Stephanie it was just the
case of being at the right place at
the right time," Simms said. Most
of Warnecke's airfare, lodging
and spending money will be paid
lor by the news agency.
Some other Auburn students
and graduates will attend the
summer games. Brian Abshire, a
J 986 graduate, won the Olympic
trials in the steeple chase. He ran
with Auburn's track team for
only two years, but in his career
he has been a five-time All-
American in cross country and
track. He was named NCAA
runner-up in 1986, and he held
school records in the steeple
chase and theindoorBOOO as well.
Jose Rocha, an Auburn diver
r e p i e s e n t i n g Mexico in the
Karnes, leads the SEC in diving
and has already qualified for the
NCAAs. He has placed first in
both the one- and three-meter div­ing
in every meet this season.
Harvey Glance, a 29-year-old
Auburn graduate, did not qualify
but will serve as a representative
of the team. He has participated
as an athlete in the past three
Olympic games. Rowdy Gaines, a
29-year-old who won a bronze
medal in the 1984 Olympics,
missed making the team also and
will not attend.
According to Simms, "The AP
will cover all the medals," (refer­ring
to the number of times
within each competition a medal
is won). "The AP is the only
agency to have someone at every
event." The main team or "glam­our
staff," as Simms referred to
them, will cover the "Big Five,"
meaning gymnastics, basketball,
track, and field, swimming and
boxing.

ate, they could transfer to
another school. This action made
for a smooth transition, Foy said.
With increases in freedom, stu­dents
today have to make many
more decisions about the course
of their actions. But Auburn stu­dents
are still just as friendly and
open as they were in 1963, Hitch­cock
said.
With all of the choices in activi­ties,
Auburn students have a
harder job of budgeting their
time," Laumer said. "But it still
feels the same. Everybody seems
to have a happy feeling here.
Auburn has moved with the
times, and that is good."
"Auburn has always been a
happy student body," said Foy,
for whom Foy Union was named.
"I've always enjoyed the charac­ter,
quality and personality of the
Auburn student body."
Yet with the increase in enroll­ment,
much of the personal sense
of community and friendliness
has been lost over the years, Foy
said. He stressed that along with
an academic education, students
should strive to build strong
characters and develop good
personalities.
"Auburn students have always
been able to contribute their per­sonality
to any organization they
become involved with. Auburn
men and women ought to be dif­ferent
from people at other
schools.
"That's why it's important to
keep Auburn University as a way
of life."

standards of the University and
made recommendations concern­ing
these standards to Martin in
1985. Martin approved these
recommendations and submitted
them to the Board for final
approval.
The Board then transferred
these recommendations to the
Planning and Priority Commit­t
e e , which made s e p a r a te
recommendations of its own that
were ultimately approved by the
Hoard.
These recommendations for
admission s t a n d a r d s differed
from the Academic Standards
Committee's recommendations
in three major areas: required
high-school courses, standard­ized
test scores and grade point
averages.
The A c a d e m i c S t a n d a r ds
Committee recommended 15
required high school courses,
including four years of English,
three years of mathematics, three
years of sciences, four yuears of
social sciences and one year of
foreign languages. The Planning'
Committee reduced the number
of required courses to V
The P l a n n i n g Committee
recommended that students
entering the University have a
2.00 grade point average and an
18 composite score on the Ameri­can
College Test or 870 on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test. The Ad
Hoc Committee had recom­mended
an 18 on the ACT (870 or
the SAT) and a 2.50 GPA.
The two committees also dif­fered
on how GPA's should be
calculated. The Planning Com­mittee
recommended the inclu­sion
of business and other
courses that are not part of the
academic core in computing the
(iPA, while the Ad Hoc Commit­tee
advocated computing the
GPA solely from the required
courses.
Dr. Harry M. Solomon of the
English department reported
from the Rules Committee and
the Senate voted on the nomina­tions
for Senate Committees.
Dr. Paul Parks, vice president
of research, reported on the sta­tus
of the search for a vice presi­dent
of academic affairs. He
reported that the search commit­tee
had contacted the 10 candi­dates
still being considered for
the position and t h a t Aug. 24, the
search committee will meet to
further reduce the field of
candidates.
"We hope that early in the fall
we will have identified these peo­ple
and will be well into the inter­viewing
process," Parks said.
Dr. George H. Emert reported
from the President's -office that
Robert E. Niebuhr, head of the
department of management, has
been named the acting head of
the College of Business. Niebuhr
will oversee the college until a
permanent replacement is found
for former dean Charles Kronke,
who left the University Aug. 31 to
become dean of the school of
management at the University of
Texas at Dallas.

concern and the guarantee of
academic freedom in this state.
"Unless this decision is rev­ersed,
academic freedom will be
dead in this state," McPhillips
said.
Thomas Samford III, legal
council for the University, said
the arguments are a routine
procedure.
"Briefs were filed and the
arguments have been scheduled
for some time.
"After the court considers both
written and oral arguments, they
will render a decision," Samford
said.

By Scott W i l k e r s o n and

Staff W r i t e rs
God & son are making the pap­ers
again this summer.
.••Last Friday's release of Uni­versal
Studio's The Last Tempta­tion
of Christ brought to bear
waves of controversy that have
been building since early this
summer when a copy of the script
fell into the hands of some Chris­t
i an leaders.
hThe film was dropped in 1983
Gy Paramount, in part, by pres­sure
from Christians.
''Directed by Martin Scorsese,
Temptation explores Jesus' life
as a confused, frustrated man
struggling to embrace the fact
that he is the son of God. It is
based on Nikos Kazantzakis's
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of
the same name, also scandal­ously
received when it was pub­lished
in Greece in 1955.
Then in 1960, American fun­d
a m e n t a l i s t s tried unsuccess­fully
to have the English transla­tion
deshelved. Much of the
uproar in the moral community
stems from a sequence in the film
during which Jesi:s, dying on the
cross, imagines marrying Mary
Magdalene, having sex with her
and living as an ordinary man —
ti»e finest carpenter in Nazareth.*
»• That portion of the movie and
roimors about it have prompted
fjindamentahsts to protest its
^please and showing.
Jj Efforts to block the movie's
release have ranged from phone
(fells, petitions and boycotts of
nieaters to large-scale appeals
like that of Bill Bright of the
Campus Crusade for Christ who
offered to buy up all the copies of
tjjfie film so they could be
destroyed.
I Universal responded that free­dom
of thought is not for sale.
J The American, Society for the
Qefense of Tradition, family and-l*
roperty, the TFP, took out a full
page ad in the New York Times in
the form of a letter asking Uni-
. country ;.^__
Last Temptation of Christ premieres amid controversy
•sal to allow the TFP and other p h i l o s o p h y and repulsed by the versal film, but tha t and it is all because of t ! $
similar organizations to preview
the film and publish an official
opinion a few days before its
release.
The film's supporters accuse
the fundamentalists of placing
their own interests above the
First Amendment.
"In claiming that the debate
over the film is not a constitu­tional
issue, but a moral one, the
fundagelicals have created for
themselves a much bigger issue,"
Delos McKown, p h i l o s o p hy
department head, said. "That, of
course, is the problem of deter­mining
what is and is not moral."
McKown said he is all for the
fundamentalists' right to protest
the movie in ways other than
simply not buying tickets and
believes that anything short of
book burning is within the Amer­ican
prerogative. But he holds
that the protestors are going too
far.

The "Rock" Concert, featuring
i he reunion of musicians Rock
SCillough and Billy Earl McClel-h
»nd, will begin at 3 p.m. Aug.
21. at the War Eagle Supper Club.
Killough and McClelland were
favorites on the Auburn music
scene during the mid '70s and
early '80s, according to Vivian
Cooper, who saw several of their
concerts. "They were a musi­cians'
band. Some people from
other bands asked Rock to start
p l a y i n g l a t e b e c a u s e they
couldn't get there until their own
bands were finished," Cooper
said. "When you hear Billy play it
will remind you of Duane
Allman, only better."
• "We played originals and cover
songs that we iiked, but that wer­en't
too obscure, so we could get
work," McClelland said. "We
played music by CCR, Little Feat,
and Ry Cooder.
"Rock and I will play a few
songs on acoustic (guitars) Sun­day.
I don't know exactly which
ones yet because we're going to
decide Saturday before the show.
We'll probably do a few of his
songs."
"We haven't played together in
seven or eight years. I do want to
see Rock out singing again, and
we will be writing songs together
a g a i n . " M c C l e l l a n d s a i d.
Also appearing at the concert
will be songwriter Hank Cockran
from Nashville, Tenn., who wrote
Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces"
and Eddie Arnold's "Make the
World Go Away."
Several other local bands will
appear, including Nothing Per­sonal,
Pocket Rocket, Jimmy
Gunn and Sister Kim and the
Blues Band.

censorship, and that's scary,"
McKown said.
Censorship not withstanding,
McKown is, somewhat ironically,
on the side of those trying to keep
others from seeing the movie.
"Unorthodox as it is, this film
is still essentially about Chris­tianity.
The film's director is a
religious man. He has said so
himself. I won't go see it and I
don't want others to see it beause
it's just more religious propa­g
a n d a . Some C h r i s t i a n s are
going to come away from the
theaters and this whole issue
with their faith strengthened.
That's what worries me. Apart
from that, I think all the humbug
is laughable. I haven't had this
much fun since The Life of Brian
(Monty Python's controversial
religious satire) came to town,"
McKown said.
Religion department head
Richard Penaskovic views the
moral outcry with some disbelief.
"I wonder if these people (the
fundamentalists) really feel their
faith is t h a t weak. They have so
glorified Christ as God-man,
t h e y ' v e f o r g o t t e n he is a l so
Man-god."
Al Jackson, pastor of Lakeview
Baptist Church, understands the
Bible to say t h a t Jesus was and is
fully God and fully man, that
Jesus is a unique event in time
and space whereby God has
become man in Christ's person.
He said, "The scriptures tell us
that he (Jesus) was tempted in
every way that a man can be
tempted, but he was without sin.
The scriptures also tell us t h a t sin
begins in the heart. And the
implication in this movie is that
he gave into lust. My objection is
that it is offensive to the Chris­tian
faith, for instance I'm told
that in the movie, Jesus comes
down from the cross and engages
in sex with Mary Magdalene. If,
in fact this is true, t h a t ' s repug­nant
t o ' someone who has the
kind of Christian convictions I
do. Even in a dream sequence/'
Jackson said he is saddened

that
there is no panic in heaven about
the movie.
"God is not up there in heaven
wringing his hands because
some pagan in Hollywood has
made a blasphemous film about
Jesus," Jackson said.
He said he believes that Scor­sese
has not merely interpreted
the facts about Jesus's life, but
twisted them like making a movie
that shows the German army
winning D-Day.
Peter Bien, the professor of
Engish at Dartmouth College
who translated The Last Temp­tation
ofChristinto English, said
the novel has enabled many to
deepen their religious commit­ment:
"This is because Kazan!.-
zakis's version of the Gospels
does not undermine Christianity
but rather makes Jesus's minis­try
more meaningful to modern
man."
Bien said Kazantzakis's pur­pose
is to make Jesus accessible
to the 20th century.
Film critics have said that
Scorsese's portrayal of Jesus is
going to enjoy an audience much
larger than that which would
ordinarily attend an "art film"

controversy. *
Murray Adams, sociology
department head, says the mas*
media's coverage of the film ha£
begun to create a flurry thjjl
resembles a social movement. *
"It is a credit to our countrg
that we can accommodate thif
kind of plurality, hut what wa
need is mutual tolerance. My.I If
year-old daughter said the wh'ottj
thing sounds like the book burw
ing that went on in Nazi Ger­many,
and I was really glad ship
could see that parallel. It's really
no surprise that any of this is
happening, but the most imp<>2;
tant thing is to protect the rightji
of all the parties involved*'
Adams said. *•
The Last Temptation ofChfisV
resonates wildly the difficult div­ision
between God and country.
When Pastor Jackson of Late-view
Baptist was asked whether
he would crush the film if he had
the legal or dictatorial power-to
do so, he said: "My gut feeling'fs
yes, but I'll go with no comment. I
will say that the wheels ot'GoJI's
justice grind slowly, but ve^ry
finely. Justice will be done." ^ - j .

Drink needed after Cocktail
Cocktail
Carmike Cinemas
; A stiff drink is exactly what
you'll need after sitting through
two hours of Cocktail, Tom
Cruise's new movie.
Cruise plays Bryan Flanna-gan,
an Irish boy who goes back
(io school and takes a bartending
job to support himself.
Educated in the bartending
arts by his boss Coglin (Bryan
Brown), Bryan becomes a master
at mixing drinks and entertain­ing
the crowd. The two form a
partnership and dream of open­ing
their own club.
Each has his own idea about
how the money for the club
should be raised and this dis-
V
Art: Ann HOHI.V
agreement leads them to search
separately for their own version
of the "American Dream."
Both Bryan and Coglin expe­rience
personality crises, but
Coglin's serves mainly as a cata­lyst
in Bryan's life. Director
Roger Donaldson could have
achieved greater impact by creat­ing
a stronger parallel between
their situations.
Coglin is actually a more com­pelling
character than Bryan
because of the duplicity of his
nature; he is both mentor and
enemy. Brown is simultaneously
eloquent and crude, romantic and
cynical, and his performance
outshines Cruise's.
Tom Cruise is, once again, Tom
Cruise. He is as charismatic as
always, but doesn't do much in
the way of acting.
Elisabeth Shue deserves men­tion
for her portrayal of Jordan,
the token love interest. Shue is
independent yet vulnerable and
adds a realistic element.
Cocktail suffers from an over­dose
of Cruise and a neglect of
Coglin and Jordan, who could
have added much to the story. If
you like Tom Cruise then you'll
probably like the movie; if not,
you're better off mixing your own
cocktails.

B.A.D. reflects diversity
Big Audio Dynamite
Tighten Up Vol. '88
• • • • •
In 1985, two years after his
split with Joe Strummer and The
Clash, Mick Jones reemerged on
the music scene with a new band
— Big Audio Dynamite. Now,
after three years and three
albums the band is no longer Big
Audio Dynamite featuring ex-
Clash guitarist Mick Jones, but
simply B.A.D.
Their latest release Tighten Up
Vol. '88 contains contributions
from all five members of the
band. This can only improve
their sound and is reflected in the
wide variety of musical styles on
the album which include funk,
reggae, early punk, and tradi
tional bluegrass. The lyrics arc
still hard-hitting and straight
forward with subjects ranging
from bigotry to relationships to
politics.
The vocals have also changed.
The entire band is singing more
on choruses and harmonies
around Jones' lead. But this is
not.the Mick Jones of old either.
He is a little older and a little
more mellow, having lost that
edge he had with The Clash. In
return, though, he sounds more
mature and shows that he can
really sing.
The most outstanding quality
of Tighten Up Vol. '88 is the fact
that while it is definitely Big
Audio Dynamite, it's new songs,
new ideas, new sounds. You
probably won't see much B.A.D.
on MTV or hear them on com­mercial
radio, but look for them to
be near the top of the college
charts.

J)nig tests
|or athletes
Ipuld go
i'.We in the Southeastern Con­ference
and everyone else in the
n&tlon better pay attention to
th«;recent decisions around the
country concerning mandatory
d-rjg testing programs for
athletes.
;fcast Wednesday the Santa
Clara County Superior Court
Judge Conrad Rushing ruled
tli|it Stanford University ath­lete's
can compete without sub­mitting
to the National Colle­giate
Athletic Association's
drug-testing program. Rushing
said that it interferes with the
athlete's right to take over-the-counter
drugs, and that it
'irjvades the student-athletes'
privacy."
IThis is not the first ruling
against drug tests, and it prob­ably
won't be the last.
•In November 1987, Rushing
allowed only Stanford basket­ball
players and football play­er^
to be tested. Northeastern
University in Boston has been
operating under a one-year-old
ruling by a superior court judge
who said the collection of urine
specimens is an "unreasonable
search and seizure of an ath­lete's
body fluids" and a viola­tion
of the constitutional right
to privacy.
After the death of Lynn Bias,
drug testing became a popular
practice at many colleges!
-The NCAA has been testing
foV drugs at championship
games and post-seasorypotball
g3mes since 1986, ancTttespite
legal battles has begun a volun­tary
off-season testing program
this year.
IThe program started because
officials speculate that athletes
change their use of steroids dur­ing
the season.
•This year, 25 schools partici­pated
in the program, including
Ajiburn, and next year the
number is expected to increase.
*A1.1 of the-SEC schools have
some kind of drug testing for
tHeir athletes.
'.Although the courts seem to
be against drug testing, many
coaches in the SEC are
extremely supportive of the
practice.
'.The University of Alabama's
h£ad trainer. Bill McDonald,
start;'d a drug-testing program
while he was at CeorgiaTech in
1086.

Football freshmen report
King, Battle
ready to take
on challenge
By J o n Collins
Assistant Sports Editor
A talented group of young men
reported to campus earlier this
week.
Among them were some of the
most highly-recruited high
school football prospects in the
Southeast. And most impor­tantly,
they signed with Auburn.
Coach Pat Dye welcomed the
scholarship signees to the Plains
on Monday. Freshmen walk-ons
also reported then.
The freshmen began practicing
yesterday. The varsity reports
tomorrow and will join the new
additions on the practice field
Monday. A week from today will"
mark the Tigers' first session in
pads, as they gear up for the Sept.
10 season opener with Kentucky.
Two of the biggest names amid
the freshmen class are Ed King
and David Battle. Both are line­men
who should make them­selves
known in the trenches.
King, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound
offensive lineman, was tabbed as
a Parade and USA Today All-
American as a senior at Central
High School of Phenix City. He
was also rated as the Bir­mingham
News' number - one
rated player in the state.
King arrived on campus earlier
than his freshmen teammates.
He has been taking classes this
quarter and working out with
some of the varsity"players who
"have been here over the summer.
"I saw how hard they were
working out, and it made me
work even harder," King said at
Sewell Hall on Tuesday.
Sophomore tailback James
Joseph attended Central High
School with King and has made
the lineman's transition to
Auburn smoother.
'I'm looking for­ward
to it. It's going
to be a big test.'
— David Battle
"Before I came down here I was
friends with James," said King.
"Coming in here around the
players has really helped me a
lot."
King has the opportunity of
gaining playing time on the
offensive front in his first year.
He knows, however, that college
football will be different.
"I want to learn the system,
that is the first thing." King
said. "Then, I'll take it from
there."
Defense is figured to be
Auburn's strength this season.
King is aware of the caliber of
athletes he will be squaring up
against in practice across the line
of scrimmage.
"I know they (defensive line)
are real good," King said. "The
more I go up against them, the
better I'll get."
As for King's chances of earn­ing
a starting role as a freshman-
"It all depends on how well I
adjust to the system," he offered.
"I will try to do the best I can."
Battle will be performing on
the other side of the ball.
As a defensive lineman Battle
was named the city's most valu­able
player his junior and senior
year. The 6-foot-4, 265-pounder
was a two-time 6A All-State
selection.
Auburn's defensive front has
proven to be a solid one. The Tig-ers'
reputation in that area
proved to be an incentive for Bat­tle's
choice of colleges.
"That's why I came, because
they've produced some greats,"
Battle said. "I'm hoping to be a
great one myself."
Battle arrived on Monday with
most of the other freshmen. <
"I'm pretty well acquainted
with most of the defensive guys,
and the ones that are gonna be
playing my position," he said.
The freshman is keeping his
hopes of playing his first season
at Auburn in perspective.
"I'd like to have the opportun-

Some say good things come in
pairs.
That saying holds true about
two new additions to Auburn
University's football team. Mike
and Mark Boring are identical
twins from Merritt Island, Fla.
To their teammates in high
school, they were more affection­ately
known as the "bookend"
twins. The name was given to
them because, while playing left
and right tackles, the 6-foot-2,
260-pound twins squashed- their
opponents from both sides.
Besides playing on the offen­sive
line, Mark was the leading
field-goal kicker and Mike was
the leading punter.
However, test results delayed
their entrance into Auburn foot­ball
in 1987.
Both had good grades and pos­sessed
enough talent to join the
squad, but neither one passed the
Scholastic Aptitude Test require­ments.
Present National Collegiate
Athletic Association rules
require that students make a 700
on the SAT befare..theyjcanplay_
varsity sports their freshman
year.
"At first we were both upset
with having to sit out," Mark
said. "Now that it's over, we feel
like it has helped us become more
confident in the classroom."
The twins have been in athlet­ics
long enough to know that one
injury can end a career. "We see
guys come off the field on
crutches, and it makes us realize
-that education comes first," Mark
said.
Auburn has recruited 11 propo­sition
48 students since 1986. Dui-ing
their first year at Auburn,
they could have nothing to do
with the team during practices or
workouts. They must attend
study hall from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday.
Academic Counselor Lisa
Knight monitors the athletic
study hall and worked closely
with the Boring twins last year.
"They were extremely hard
working," Knight said. "They
came to study hall more than was
required and were usually a step
ahead of me in setting up study
sessions. They were determined
and gave 100 percent. That's
what got them where they are
now."
Both did well enough in school
to qualify for the football team
'this season.'
When the Borings were being
recruited, the Auburn coaches
said that they liked the determi­nation
the twins showed.
Auburn wide receiver coach
Larry Blakeney helped recruit
the twins.
"Everybody in Division I foot­ball
is looking for good linemen,"
Blakeney said. "We recruited
them because they were tall
enough and had the right kind of
heart and spirit.
"We've got a good record with
these guys so far," he said. "I
think they've got a good chance
of playing this season."

A loss hurts, but a tie can be
painful too. Just ask James
Joseph.
In Auburn's opening offen­sive
series against Tennessee
last season, Joseph suffered a
broken knee cap.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound tail­back
continued playing for the
rest of the game, which resulted
in a 20-20 deadlock in Knox-ville's
Neyland Stadium.
"In a game of that magnitude
the adrenalin was flowing.so
much in my body, I didn't want
to come out," Joseph said.
"Therefore, I ignored the pain.
But, as the game progressed, it
continuously bothered me.
Despite the injury, he carried
the ball 10 times for 59 yards
iUjd.caiufih^four^asses, one_of.
which was good lor a touch­down.
Joseph qualified for medical
h a r d s h i p and missed the
remainder of the season. Stacy
Danley stepped into the vacant
tailback position.
After undergoing surgery and
rehabilitation. Joseph rejoined
his teammates in the middle of
spring drills. He was named the
offensive most valuable player
in the defensively-dominated
intra-squad game.
The tailback position will be
wide open when practice begins
on Monday. With the freshmen
already on campus, the rest of
Joseph's varsity teammates
will report tomorrow.
After a recent workout,
Joseph said his knee was in
good shape. However, the
weather affects it some, the
sophomore said.
"It gets a little sore before it
rains," Joseph said. "It doesn't
really bother me, it just aches
with a little throbbing."
Auburn finished last in the
conference in rushing in 1987.
Joseph feels strongly that won't
be the case this season.
"I'll make a promise. We
won't finish last this year, by no
means," he stated.
Joseph, known as "Bo-Peep"
to his teammates, said he sees
repeating as SEC champions
being tough, but attainable.
"When you're the defending
SEC champs, everybody is
gonna play you hard," the
Phenix City, Ala., native said.
"It's difficult. But, I think we
have the personnel to get it
done. It all depends on us gel­ling
together and taking one
game at a time.
^^J^e^ajjse^we^.pla.Y, .jJL.thfoL,,
major SEC teams thisrysarrwel
just have to take it one step at a
time," Joseph said.
Who will be the conference
teams to beat in his opinion?
"As far as picking a favorite, I
guess to me it would be Ala­bama
with Bobby Humphrey
coming back," Joseph said.
"Also, Tennessee with Reggie
Cobb and their quarterback
(Jeff Francis). All the SEC
teams are gonna be pretty
competitive."
The Sept. 10 season opener in
Jordan-Hare Stadium with
Kentucky is the first hurdle to
be cleared for Joseph and the
Tigers.
"We open up with an SEC
game. So, every game is impor­tant,"
he said. "I think we'll be
OK if we take it one game at a
time." 1

Georgia Tech, along with
Auburn and the University of
Georgia, was the first to have a

"The testing gives athletes a
way out of a pressure situation,"
McDonald said. "Many schools
don't test for drugs and don't
realize that there is a problem. I
wouldn't stop testing even if the
courts told me to."
At Auburn, the screenings are
designed to test each student
about four times during an aca­demic
year.
The process is familiar to all
athletes, especially to football
players and basketball players.
These two sports are tested
more frequently, sometimes up
to seven times a year.
On test days, an announce­ment
is made during lunch at
Sewell Hall, and the names of
those who are to be tested that
day are posted in the lobby.
The players make a list of
over-the-counter drugs that
they are using. If someone
doesn't show up, the test is
declared positive.
Each person is assigned a
number and makes the familiar
trip from Sewell Hall to Joel
Eaves Memorial Colisium to
await his turn for a bathroom
stall.
Women athletes are placed in
a separate pool and tested as
often as men athletes are.
The test can identify a wide
range of drugs, including
cocaine, marijuana, barbitu-ates,
amphetimines, pain
relievers and alcohol.
Because this is the first case
(after a full trial) to decide the
issue of drug testing, the ruling
is expected to have far-reaching
effects.
"The evidence demonstrates
that there is no drug involve­ment
in any sport except foot­ball
and that the problem
relates only to steroid use and
involves a small minority of
football players," Rushing said.

why, because they have some
great ones."
Some of the 'great ones' are
noseguard Benji Roland and
tackles Tracy Rocker and Ron
Stallworth. Battle is eager to join
them on the practice field.
"I'm looking forward to it. It's
going to be a big test," Battle
said. "There are people out there
that are so good, and you get to
match up against them. You get
to really find out where you stand
as a freshman.
"I have a lot of confidence in
my ability," Battle said. "I know
I'm gonna put forth my best
effort."
Merritt Island High School
Defensive Coach Gerald Hodgin
has sent many athletes into the
collegiate ranks before the twins.
"The Borings' speed, agUity
and strength made them the best
players that I have ever
coached," Hodgin said. "They
were offensive tackles, but they
played defense when the other
team got inside our 20-yard line."
The twins have a rich back
ground in football. Their four
older brothers played high school
football, an uncle played for the
University of Tennessee and

their father coaches a city-league

The twins also played high
school basketball, soccer, base­ball
and ran track.
However, they didn't realize
that they had the opportunity to
play college football until their
senior year in high school.

Once they switched girlfriends
four times in one day without the
girls knowing it.
"They still don't know to this

Having proved themselves in
the classroom, the Borings are
glad finally to play football at
Auburn.
"Sports gives a lot of kids the
chance to succeed," Mike said. "I
saw friends who are good football
players out on the streets selling
drugs because they didn't get

Bo Jackson a chance, and look at
