Secretary of Defense Dick
Cheney outlined a plan which
he said could save taxpayers
^$30 billion by 1993.
The proposal, announced
Tuesday, overhauls the bureau­cracy
of the Pentagon and tight­ens
control over its arms-pur­chasing
system.
# Cheney recommended the
removal of thousands of
people involved in purchasing
decisions. The plan also includ­e
d giving more authority to the
undersecretary of defense in
that area.
i* This would trim some powers
of the individual military ser­vices.

Two councils split on airport plans
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
Auburn City Council's pro­posal
to extend the north-south
runway of the Auburn-Opelika
Airport was left in a holding pat­tern
after last week's joint ses­sion
with the Opelika City
Council.
"The Opelika City Council
needs more information before
it can make a decision on this
matter," said Carlton Hunley,
Opelika Councilman .
Though both groups met for
more than an hour in Auburn's
city library to work out their
differences, the only point
agreed upon regarding the
expansion was that the proposal
needs to be studied again.
Since the Federal Aviation
Administration has agreed to
shoulder most of the expense
for the extension. Auburn and
Opelika will face sharing
responsibility for the remainder
of the bill.
Wainwright Engineering, a
Dothan-based company that
has studied the airport expan­sion
since 1981, designed the
proposed runway extension and
offered both cities a proposal
that includes three alternatives.
The first alternative calls for
extending the runway from
4,000 to 5,500 feet and con­structing
a tunnel for Glenn
Avenue that would allow aircraft
to run over the street. This
choice would cost the cities $4
million to $5 million more than
the other two alternatives.

Oliver to keep post
as Plainsman editor
By Matt Smith
News Editor
Plainsman editor-elect Paige
Oliver has decided not to step
down despite the Board of Stu­dent
Communications' 7-2 rec­ommendation
last Thursday
that she resign because of aca­demic
considerations.
In a statement released to
The Plainsman , Oliver said
"While I appreciate the Board's
concern that my academic situ­ation
could force it to replace
me In mid-year...I'm confident I
will raise my grades the
8/100ths of a point necessary
to preserve the University's aca­demic
integrity."
Oliver, who is working in
Atlanta over the summer,
requested the meeting herself to
solicit the board's advice.
After her election in April,
Oliver told the Comm Board
that she would resign if she did
not have a 2.0 cumulative GPA
by fall quarter. Her GPA was
higher than a 2.0 when she
qualified as a candidate for edi­tor
winter quarter, but had fall­en
below that mark by spring.
"I did say I would resign if I
didn't have a 2.0, but I thought
I would have spring and sum­mer
quarters to raise my GPA"
Oliver said in an interview Sat­urday.
"Circumstances have
changed drastically. That's why
I went to the Comm Board in
the first place," she said.
"The issue is an academic
question," Assistant Dean of
Student Affairs Grant Davis, the
Board's acting chairman, said
about the recommendation.
"She was qualified by the
board and I don't think there's
any question from a Journalism
standpoint...(if Oliver does not
resign) it may have an impact as
far as a credibility standpoint,
but I think the Board made its
decision about that last winter
quarter," Davis said.
Sports Information Director
David Housel, one of two board
members to vote against the
recomendation, said Tuesday
"Whatever she decides, I will
support her."
Housel said he voted against
the measure because Oliver had
to make the decision herself.
"If she should choose to
resign, that's her decision,"
Housel said. "Only she knows
what her situation is." He did
See OLIVER, page 17
The second alternative, which
the Auburn Council prefers,
proposes a 5,260-foot runway
and rerouting Glenn Avenue so
that it circumvents the runway.
In the short term, the
increased safety and possibility
for desired economic growth for
both cities is answered through
the second alternative. Auburn
Mayor J an Dempsey said.
"This choice is optimal, rea­sonable
and will cost the least,"
she said.
Currently, planes landing at
the airport cannot be insured
because the runway is too
short.
According to the proposal, a
longer runway would enable

Student pastor removed
after revival invitations By Barbara Riddle
and Melissa Denney
Staff Writers
Auburn student John Clark
was fired from his pastoral posi­tion
at Loachapoka Baptist
Church after inviting blacks to a
June 11-13 revival, he said.
. Cla$. 04 HY, an Opelika 21-
year-old, became the church's
pastor about a year ago. Racism
is still alive today, he said.
Clark said he made visits to
the community to invite people
to the revival. When he in­formed
church members about
the visits the next day, he said a
church deacon asked him, 'You
didn't invite any Negroes, did
you?"
Clark told him that he had.
The following day. May 21, one
of the deacons called and said
that the church members were
upset.
The congregation fired him In
a secret ballot vote on June 4,
he said.
Church officials have re­mained
silent about Clark's dis­missal.
Tom Robbins, a deacon
at Loachapoka Baptist Church,
refused to comment.
Church member Ruth Tram­mel.,
when asked to comment,
said, "No ma'am, no ma'am, I'm
sick and tired of that, no
ma'am."
When a person seeks to find
what Is right and wrong, in the
end he must go to the scrip­tures.
The people of Loachapoka
Baptist Church are going on
tradition and how it was In the
past, and that's wrong, Clark
said.
Clark has no ministerial train­ing
but has always enjoyed giv­ing
speeches, he said.
He spoke at several churches
in Opelika and began to circu­late
his name through the
Tuskegee Lee Baptist Associa­tion
in hopes of getting a job,
he said.
He first worked at Loachapoka
Baptist Church as a guest pas­tor
but was soon hired as the
permanent pastor, he said.
"The idiotic philosophy of the
1960s is occurring again," Clark
said. "Today there are no white
hats or capes, but the racism is
still there."
That racism is more subtle
today but Just as dangerous, he
said.
The statement that blacks
worship in a different manner is
used to cover up the members'
racism, Clark said.
The only reason black people
have "black churches" is
because white people won't

Dorm break-ins investigated
By Matt Smith
News Editor
University police are investi­gating
a series of burglaries at
campus dormitories that have
resulted in more than $1,900
stolen in cash and property,
University police Capt. Melvin
Owens said Monday.
"Our detectives have a couple
of leads," Owens said. 'We've got
no promises, but a lot of hope."
According to police reports,

Observant students, and even
those not so observant, may
have noticed something differ­ent
about the Coliseum parking
lot in the past few weeks.
A hole has opened In the
parking lot because of a deteri­orating
culvert, said Assistant
Vice President for Facilities
Stanley Drake.
The hole is caused by one of
the drainage basins which pro­vides
drainage across the cam­pus.
The basin causing the
problem is called the "Jordan-
Hare basin" by the facilities divi­sion,
Drake said.
It begins near Drake Student
Health Center and Magnolia
Drive running diagonally south­east,
going under Jordan-Hare
stadium, continuing diagonally
across the Coliseum parking lot
and emptying into the creek just
south of the Coliseum, Drake
explained.
'The water that runs in that
basin is provided with various
conveyances (types of pipe), one
in Dorm A were broken into in a
three-hour period on June 26.
Owens said losses in those
incidents, plus one at Dorm IV
on July 6, were estimated at
about $1,400.
In addition, two apartments in
CDV extension were burglarized
July 5, with about $540 worth
of jewelry and money taken, he
said.
Most of the victims of the
break-ins were not students,
but were visiting for orientation
or cheerleading camps and
housed by the University,
Owens said.
There were no signs of forced
entry In any of the incidents, he
said.
The break-ins at the two Hill
dorms may be related, and more
than one person may have been
invoIved.Owens said.
"Definitely two," he said. "I
don't think one person would
feel safe in this."
Police will monitor the area
more closely, he said.
Parking spaces lost because
culvert can't hold its water
Staff photo by Rob Miller
The Jordon-Hare basin sinkhole lies near the Coliseum
of which is steel," he said. "The
part of the culvert which is steel
Is the part under the Coliseum
parking lot.
"What has happened Is the
lower part has deteriorated, and
the water flow undermines the
soil around it. When that soil
washes out, the soil above it
collapses.
"That pipe is probably 25
years old. We can tell what is
happening inside of it, and we
periodically send people into the
pipe to monitor it, but we can't
tell what's going on outside of
the pipe."
The facility division was to
start repairing the hole on Tues-.
day by first filling it with sand
and gravel and then paving the
surface, Drake said.

WEGL Station Manager
Robert French reported to the
Communications Board on Jury
6 that President James Martin,
as of J u n e 28, had not yet
received the paperwork neces­sary
to authorize the station's
move to Foy Union.
"The recommendation has
gone to the president's office,"
said Union Board Chairman
James McDonough.
Martin said Wednesday that
he had received the paperwork
but had not approved it yet.
"I received the paperwork and
sent it to Gerald Leischuck, the
chairman of the University's
Space Allocation Committee, for
his committee's input," he said.
French said he was concerned
' that the move was delayed, but
he is not angry.
When McDonough was ques­tioned
about the delays, he
said, "I don't know of any prob­lems,
outside of I haven't gotten
any response back."
The other organizations
affected include the Alpha Phi
Omega service fraternity, Pan-hellenic,
War Eagle Girls and
Plainsmen and the Graduate
Student Organization.
Martin said he did not know
how long it would take the
Space Allocation Committee to
return the papers with its input.
He predicted it would not take
long for him to approve the
papers however, once the Space
Allocation Committee is finished
with them.
The
recommendation
has gone to the
president's office.'

McDonough
French said he cannot predict
when the move will come.
"The previous management
had hoped to move during/sum­mer,"
he said. "I hope to/move
when the administration, the
Physical Plant, the Union /Board
and the Concessions Board
agree the time is right. /
"I just want to move, I don't
want this to become an issue."
Hunt to push for abortion ban
By Joey Jarriel
Staff Writer
After the Supreme Court rul­ing
on Webster v. Reproductive
Health Services, legislative ac­tion
can once again be intro­duced
to restrict abortion on the
state level.
In a series of votes last week,
many decided by a margin of
one vote, the Supreme Court
upheld portions of a Missouri
law that was struck down in a
lower court as unconstitutional.
The law allows Missouri to
ban abortions from any publicly
owned property, such as public
hospitals, and require testing
for viability after 20 weeks.
It Is illegal to abort a viable
fetus in Missouri, said K.B.
Cohles, administrator of the
Beacon Women's Center in
Montgomery.
The decision is being heralded
as the beginning of the end for
the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision
by opponents of abortion in
Alabama. State Sen. Chip Bailey
(D-Dothan) introduced the 1987
bill that required minors to get
parental consent before obtain­ing
an abortion.
"The reversal of Roe v. Wade
will be forthcoming in the next
few years," Bailey said.
In a statement released July
5, Gov. Guy Hunt said he would
"move quickly to save as many
lives as possible."
"One thing the people in
Alabama are interested in is to
stop what looks like a real busi­ness
in the abortion industry,"
the statement said.
The Legislature convenes in
January, and Hunt's statement
said that he expected to be
ready with something by then,
and probably would not be call­ing
a special session.
Hunt does not expect much
opposition to any legislation he
might propose, according to the
statement.
"I do not anticipate a big bat­tle.
I doubt seriously that you
would have that much solid
opposition," he said in the state­ment.
Currently, there are three
more abortion cases scheduled
to come before the Court in
October. Until then, any action
would be premature, according
to state Rep. J.G. "Dutch" Hig-ginbotham
(D-Auburn), chair­man
of the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
Bailey said the bill he was
working on parallels the Mis­souri
law, but he acknowledged
the need to study the decision
because of questions about the
use of Medicaid funding, federal
funding and special case abor­tions,
such as rape or incest.
He said he sees the fall of Roe
v. Wade in the near future.
The eight male Justices are
split four to four, and it is Jus­tice
Sandra Day O'Connor who
Art by Alan Eskew
generally casts the deciding
vote, according to James H.
Gundlach, Auburn sociology
professor.
I As long as the present config­uration
stays the same. Roe v.
Wade is likely to be upheld,
though there will probably be
some restrictions made, Gund­lach
said.
"O'Connor seems to be focus­ing
on the idea of viability
rather than conception," Gund­lach
said. "Her inclination is to
hang on to some skeletal form .
of it {Roe v. Wade).
"It seems that she thinks that
states have the right to regulate
abortion in the first trimester
...but as long as the woman can
afford it ...then she should have
that right."
If Roe v. Wade does fall and
the states regain the right to
restrict abortion, Gundlach said
he feels approximately two-thirds
of the states will still
have abortion on demand 10
years from now.
States such as Alabama and
other deep South states will
have the highest restrictions,
and states such as California
and Massachusetts will be the
most liberal.
"Before/ Roe V. Wade, the trend
was in most states towards less
restrictive abortion laws,"
Gundlach said.

Home-grown foreign policy
State ties with China still open
By Tim Bain
Staff Writer
On June 4, Dr. Timothy Mack
said he heard the guns going off
in Beijing's Tiananmen Square
that signaled a violent end to
the peaceful student demon­strations
for democratic reform
in China.
Mack, an associate professor
of entomology at the University,
was at Beijing Agricultural Uni­versity
from May 22 to June 8
participating in a research
agreement that Auburn and
BAU formalized in 1987, he
said.
Auburn's entomology depart­ment
and the BAU department

agreement to "exchange
faculty on a voluntary basis and
promote cooperative research,"
Mack said.
Alabama has a similar agree­ment
with the Hubei province in
China that was established in
October 1985 during the Wal­lace
administration.
After the attack in Tiananmen
Square, Hubei Gov. Guo Zhen-qian
wrote to Hunt telling him
order was being restored in
China, and the government
wanted to continue to open
China to the outside world.
Hunt appealed to Guo on
June 8 "to use his influence to
help bring an end to the vio­lence
and to seek a peaceful
resolution of the crisis in Chi­na's
capital city."
Guo replied that events in
China were calming down.

"It's referred to as a friendship
agreement; it serves as a bridge

Denton said. "There have been

"They've even discussed
importing some of our old dis­continued

for example, from the steel

"If they were able to maintain
political and economic stability
so that the per capita income
rose to a level where they could

that would create some interest­ing

Denton said.
Another goal of the agreement

Visiting scholar Xin Pel Huang
is in the exchange program. He
takes his graduate course work
at BAU and does his research
here at Auburn. Huang's re­search
deals with identifying
chemicals that stimulate feeding

"The idea," said Mack, "Is to
attract the insects to the pesti­cide

The Chinese students also

Vanity tag sales fund scholarship program
By Tawanda Shaw
Staff Writer
Proceeds from the sale of
Auburn University license
plates throughout the state will
enable the University to award
the first scholarships for the
"License to Learn" program, in
September 1989, said Herb
White, director of University
Relations.
The program, after seven
months of sales, has brought in
$109,354 for the scholarship
endowment at Auburn, accord­ing
to the State Department of
Revenue.
Because of the success of the
program, the University will
award three tuition scholar­ships,
for $1,524 a year, this fall
to three in-state students, White
said.
"We hope to expand on the
number awarded each and
every year if tag sales continue
to improve. And we fully expect
them to. " White said.
The sale of 284 Auburn
license plates during May
brought the total number of car
tags purchased by Auburn sup­porters
to 2,242 for the first half
of the year.
The scholarships will be
awarded on the same basis as
the National Merit program,
except the student must be an
Alabama resident, according to
Larry Ridgeway, director of
financial aid.
To be considered for a schol­arship
a student must be an
entering freshman with mini­mum
test scores of 29 on the
ACT and 1250 on the SAT.

English journal published
By Suzanne Rauch
Staff Writer
Orientation Staff photo by Mike Wixson
Hundreds of students participate in the annual orientation sessions sponsored by the Pre-College
Counseling Service of the Office of Admissions. Here, entering freshmen and their parents wait to be
addressed by campus leaders Monday. Sessions will be held today and tomorrow.
A new statewide professional journal Is being
published at Auburn for English and language
arts teachers, regardless of the grade level of
their students.
Entitled "Alabama English," the biannual
journal is the first of its kind to be circulated in
Alabama, said Isabelle Thompson, editor of the
journal and an associate English professor.
It is published by the state affiliate of the
NaUonal Council of Teachers of English in coop­eration
with the Auburn University Extension,
the colleges of Liberal Arts and Education and
the department of English, she said.
The journal will be published in spring and
fall. This year's spring issue has already been
circulated, and the fall issue is ready to go to
print, Thompson said.
'We're trying to apply theory and practice in
teaching English and language arts here in
Alabama," Thompson said.
The journal's two goals are to provide informa­tion
and be a forum for Alabama teachers to
publish their ideas, she said.
"I would like this Journal to act as a vehicle in
bringing together people with similar teaching
interests," she said.
Submitted articles should be less than 4,000
words in length, and undergo a "referee" system,
Thompson said.
"When I get a submission, I'll send it out
blindly to referees (other readers), usually of the
same grade level (in teaching) as the author."
Thompson said. "The referees then send the
articles and their comments and recommenda­tions
back to me. "
A special issue is being put together in corre­lation
with the Alabama Reunion. It is being
printed in association with the Pebble Hill
Center of Arts and Humanities and the Read
Alabama Program, Thompson said.
University researcher develops sugar-free jelly substitute
By Tawanda Shaw
Staff Writer
Jean Olds, a food scientist at
Auburn, is developing a sugar­less,
jelly-like product that she
said she hopes will mimic the
qualities of jelly and act as a
suitable substitute for diabetics,
dieters and others who must
limit sugar intake.
Her product can't be called a
jelly because governmental
standards of identity require jel­lies
to contain sugar, and her
product contains no sugar. Olds
said.
"It has the natural sugar from
the grape juice and that's it,"
she said. "There's no sugar
added even to that grape juice."
The product gets its sweet­ness
from artificial sweeteners
and has about two-thirds fewer
calories than the model product
currently on the market, she
said.
The difference in her product
and the reduced-calorie prod­ucts
currently on the market is i
that her product can be used by '
people who have to reduce their
sugar intake, she said.
"Most of the reduced-calorie
products on the market still
contain sugar," Olds said, "and
diabetics can't eat them.
'It's the good
kind of fiber that
you're supposed
to take in'
- Jean Olds
"The reason I got into this
research was to develop a jelly
that my son could eat. He's a
diabetic and missed having his
(peanut butter and jelly) sand­wiches."

Olds said she is also formu­lating
low-calorie syrup and
peanut brittle and has plans for
developing candies and baked
goods.
The process of developing
sugarless products is a complex
one. She had to study the prop­erties
of jelly to find out what
the jelly gives the product
besides sweetness, Olds said.
"Jelly has a lot of functional
properties that I have to
replace," she said.
In order to make jelly you
have to have pectin, a gum
which promotes gelling, but
pectin doesn't work without
sugar, she said.
Through a process of trial and

error, Olds said she discovered
that xanthan gum and locust
beam would gel her product.
The combination works well and
has ah added benefit in that the
xanthan gum is a soluble fiber.
"It's the good kind of fiber that
you're supposed to take in," she
said.
Olds previously developed a
jelly-like substitute with the
artificial sweetener Equal.
Although the work wasn't pub­lished,
she said she did test the
product and found that most
people couldn't tell a difference
in taste between her product
and jelly.
"What you want to do with
any kind of product when you're
developing it is to get it as good
as the market product," Olds
said. "If you come up as good
as, you're doing great. If you
come up with better than the
control product, you're doing
really great."
Before the products can be
marketed, Olds said she must
conduct sensory evaluation
studies to determine if they look
and taste good enough to be
marketed.
Also, she said she must con­duct
shelf-life studies to find
out how stable the products are
after a period of time.
"What I hope will happen,"
she said, "is that industry will
pick up on it and want to pro­duce
a product and they'll fund
some research for me to do."

Institute to dig
into space trash
By Gay Watson
Staff Writer
S
A stalled engine or instrument
malfunction is never conve­nient,
but outer space has to be
one of the worst places possible
for it to happen.
About 70 researchers gath­ered
in Auburn June 27-29 to
address one of the possible
causes for this type of incident -
effluents, which are gases and
vapors expelled by spacecraft.
'In the harsh en­vironment
of
space, even
water can do
damage'
- Lloyd Gordon
"Effluents are like the exhaust
from a car, and the delicate
operations in space can be
effected by these effluents," said
Lloyd Gordon, assistant profes­sor
in electrical engineering,
who works at the University's
Space Power Institute.
"Water is one of the most
common effluents, whether it's
from the manned compartment
exhaust, or whether it's from
the rocket engines," he said. "In
the harsh environment of space,
even simple, normally benign
chemicals, even water, can do
damage.
"You can take a normal, fairly
safe pollutant, and the ioniza­tion,
and the sun's breaking
apart, will turn it into a chemi­cal
degradant.
"It (the water) can freeze up
on your surfaces in space and
stay there so it contaminates
your telescope and your optics.
"It coats surfaces so various
methods need to be developed
to direct the effects away, and
to clean the surfaces if they do
become contaminated."
Although astronauts have
noticed small amounts of coat­ing
on instruments, the work­shop
participants were "antici­pating
what some of the prob­lems
will be in a large space
structure, like a space station,"
Gordon said.
One conclusion reached by
the researchers is that the two
main sources of effluents are
the thrusters used to control
the space craft and the high-power
electrical production sys­tems,
he said.
The recommendation is to
improve environment models
around the spacecraft, which
are necessary to predict interac­tion
of spacecraft systems with
contaminants such as effluents,
Gordon said.
Another area of concern is the
electrical system, he said.
"Your electrical system may
fail as a result of exposure to
effluents," he said, "and a con­clusion
was made that more
research must be done to deter­mine
if we need to enclose these
electrical systems completely, or
if we can allow them to be
exposed.
Rain
Record June
storms refill
water tables
By Kayla Bradford
Staff Writer
Art by Lee Ann Flynn
The recent abundance of
rain in the Auburn area has
stalled construction projects,
yet replenished reservoirs,
according to City Engineer Rex
Griffin.
"We're so glad to see It since
we've had no rain In the past
three years," Griffin said.
The estimated rainfall for
J u n e in Auburn was 11.5
inches, Griffin said. That fig­ure
is three times the amount
for June last year.
The city's reservoir. Lake
Ogletree, was down a couple of
feet from last year's rain short­age,
but is now completely full.
This has caused water sales in
the area to decrease sharply,
Griffin said.
'The water table has recov­ered,
and there is now a much
more stable supply," he said.
"There have been a lot of
problems with drainage in the
area," Opelika City Engineer
Matt Watts said. "We have had
to check on drainage struc­tures
to see what we can do to
get them working."
No significant water damage
has been reported in Auburn.
The only real damage Is some
potholes that appeared In the
road, which will not cost a
large amount of money to
repair. Watts said.
Auburn, unlike many areas
in the state, does not have
much of a flooding problem,
Griffin said.
"We're on a high ridge and
most of our water drains
away," he said.

the surface. If there are, we will
fix them," he said.
The facilities division has a
permanent solution planned for
the near future, he said.
The plan includes replacing
the steel culvert with a concrete
one, enlarging all culverts (with
the exception of the section that
runs under Jordan-Hare stadi­um)
to a size which will handle
water in the quantities that
occur during a 10-year flood
and constructing a culvert par­allel
to Jordan-Hare stadium to
supplement the one already
running beneath the stadium,
according to Drake.
'We hope to start construction
sometime this year after football
season," Drake said.
'We first started having prob- 1
lems in the spring of 1987.
About a year later we started
having more problems. That's
when the administration decld- *
ed to replace the culvert. The
only delay, and I wouldn't even
call it that, was because of the «
additional plans we added for
the culvert around the stadi­um."

Dead people seem to be

' making all of the money these

If you are a washed-up, geri-jatric

I the prime of life, you become
some sort of exalted icon to be
revered and worshiped, not

What is the allure of death?
jlls it the knowledge of our own
'ifinitude that fuels the fire of
jlthis infatuation with death? I
11 think not.
Large companies know the
ji effect that these great people
ihave on individuals lives.
tThey manipulate these won-
[derful images we have of peo-j
pie like James Dean by adding
I a pair of Converse hightops to

Not only have the dead
invaded corporate advertising,
but the lines in the song by
the Smiths called "Paint a Vul­gar

themselves greatly
these days. "Re-issue, repack­age,

I can't believe that the heirs

The race for profits is so
strong these days that any­thing

Local artists inspired

When Marian Carcache was growing up in Jernigan, Ala., her
parents went out for an evening. She spent the night
watching The Member of the Wedding on television with her
baby sitter.
When her parents came in at the end of the movie, her
mother told her that the author of the book lived in Columbus, Ga.
"This movie I loved at the time, was written by someone right up
the road," said Carcache, a local writer and photographer. "There­fore,
I could do it too.
"Everybody important in the whole wide world didn't come from
New York or California."

picture, it will take 20 to 30 hours.
"If something turns out well, I stand back and say, 'Did I do
that?'" Crenshaw said about her photography.
"I am not a very patient person," she said. "I have learned patience
through this."
Carcache also became interested in photography and hand-tinting.
She said her husband, who is an artist, gave her drawing lessons.

Acting, life of hard work as well as glory
By Angele Bodet
Staff Writer
Plainsman files
The allure of being the next
Michael Crawford or Bernadette
Peters has attracted many to
the glamour of the stage.
Entertainment
Spotlight
Don't be tricked Into believing
that acting is all glamour and
glory.
Some Auburn students who
are following their dream of
being actors and actresses
agreed that extensive training
and hard work go into acting
that most people don't realize.
Actors not only take acting
classes, but also take dance,
voice, production and technical
classes.
John Herrington, 03 TH, was
the protagonist, Allan Felix, in
Play it Again, Sam.
"People don't realize that the­ater
isn't an easy major," Her­rington
said.
All of the work done isn't
seen, and actors sacrifice a lot.
A social life is nearly nonexis­tent,
and any free time is usual­ly
spent with other actors, he
said.
Denise Gant, Barbara in Play
it Again. Sam, doubles in this
production as actress and prop­erties
mistress. She is responsi­ble
for all the props used for
both rehearsals and perfor­mances.
This summer all of the cast
has doubled as crew. Some sets
were finished only hours before
the curtain went up on their
first show.
career in acting, she said.
'You just take the roles you
can get," Carruthers said.
Whether the part is suited for
the person, he takes what he
can get, said Daniel Stanton,
who played Bogey.
All of the actors and actresses
agreed that acting isn't as easy
as it looks and that there is
more to a production than what
you see. The audience doesn't
know what the actor might have

Editor's note: Because of the
anonymity of this group, the
names are ficticious to protect
the members.
By Larisa Lambert
Assistant Copy Editor
The members of Overeaters
Anonymous are not
required to undergo
weigh-ins, count calories or pay
fees to find a solution for their
eating disorders.
Unlike diet clubs such as
Weight Watchers and diet plans
like SlimFast and the Grapefruit
Diet, OA concentrates on
changing the overeater's atti­tude
about eating instead of
changing their eating habits.
The Auburn chapter of OA
meets on Mondays at 6 p.m. for
beginners in the program and at
6:30 p.m. for regulars at Grace
Methodist Church. They also
meet at noon on Thursdays at
the Veterinary College in 105
Greene Hall.
The Rader Institute for Eating
Disorders, located in Phenix
City, also hosts some meetings.
The OA program Is patterned
after Alcoholics Anonymous.
The group studies the 12 steps
of recovery recommended in the
AA program but replaces the
words alcohol and alcoholic,
with the words compulsive,
overeating, food and overeaten
said Sally, a .member of the
group.
IS OA FOR YOU?
• Do you eat when you're not
hungry?
«Do you go on eating binges
for no apparent reason?
. DO you feel guilty after
overeating?
. DO you give too much time
and thought to food?
• Do you look forward to
eating alone?
For more information,
call 745-4790
Each person works the steps
of the program at his own pace.
"The miracle of this program
is that we work on our problems
separately, but the program
binds us together," said Kelly,
the group sponsor.
A group sponsor is someone
who has gone through the 12
steps of recovery, which makes
him qualified to lead others. The
sponsor Is present at all the
meetings.
"Abstinence is an Important
part of our lives," said Jane, one
group member.
A pamphlet published by OA
explained, "Abstinence in OA is,
quite simply, staying away from
compulsive overeating.
"Abstinence means not only
freedom from food but freedom
from negative thinking."
Members of the program use
the phone for support between
meetings to help them through
negative thinking and tempta­tions
to overeat.
During the meeting, sharing
time allows the group to discuss
negative and positive experi­ences
that each have had since
the last meeting.
Jane said that this program
has allowed her to trust others.
"Willingness, honesty and
humility are some of the things
I have gained through this pro­gram,"
Sally said.

Removing asbestos is no
cause for celebration, but the
Benefit Bazaar will be held July
15, to help raise money to elimi­nate
the substance from the Vil­lage
School.
The school, 231 E. Drake
Ave., is a private, non-profit
system, and it will cost about
$3,000 to remove the asbestos,
said Lisa Brouillette, one of the
parents at the school.
It is a cooperative parent
school. This means the school is
run and organized by the par­ents
through a school board,
she said.
"Individual attention is
stressed - each student goes at
his own pace," Brouillette said.
One second grader may read
at a fifth grade level, while
another second grader may read
at a first grade level, she said.
The school holds a racial and
economic mixture of students.
Brouillette said. "We have kids
from all different backgrounds,"
she said.
Many of the students who
attend the Village School are
children of professors at the
University, she said.
The school goes from kinder­garten
through eighth grade.
There are about 30 kids in the
entire school, Brouillette said.
"When you're trying to raise
money and there are only 15
families in the school, it's hard
to say 'Give me $1,000,' " s h e '
said. i
The bazaar will include a yard
sale, face painting, pony rides
and a bake sale. Brouillette said
they hope to raise about $400. i
Donations to the yard sale:
range from furniture to car
accessories.
The bazaar will be held at the
Village School from 8 a.m until
noon.
The school hopes to have the , t
asbestos removed by the end of
the summer, she said.

Merchant, vocalist for '90s
Blind Man's Zoo
10,000 Maniacs
Elektra/Asylum
• • • •
The 10,000 Maniacs new
release. Blind Man's Zoo, has
entrenched the band as the
forerunners of "conscious rock."
Hanging out with the likes of
R.E.M. and Squeeze, the quintet
from the Northeast gained a
modicum of notoriety, yet they
yearned to be recognized for
their own accomplishments.
Like the first two albums.
The Wishing Chair and In My
Tribe, Natalie Merchant shows
why she is the best new female
vocalist in the music industry.
Music Review
However, a larger emphasis
on the musical aspect of the
band has appeared on the new
release. The resulting sounds do
not take away from Merchant,
but accentuate her perfor­mance.
This can be seen in the song,
"The Big Parade," in which a
militaristic cadence backs Mer­chant's
prose on the Vietnam
aftermath. "Hateful Hate," per­haps
the album's best single,
talks of what colonialism has
done to Africa. With the help of
a pipe organ and a piano, an
interesting contrast to Merchan­t's
vocals develops.
Every single on the album
concerns itself with something
going on in the world today. For
example, the opening song ,"Eat
For Two," is about unwanted
pregnancy. As well, "Please For­give
Us" gives the following com­mentary
of the Contras in
Nicaragua: "(They) justify mur­der
by their fighters for free­dom."
One of the more powerful
songs on the album is "Dust
Bowl." Merchant tells the story
of an unwed mother who is try­ing
to make ends meet. Unfortu-

i
Eat the i
Accept
Heat
CBS Records
• •
• For a heavy metal band with
Che same German roots as the
Scorpions, Accept is beginning
^o sound more like the early
years of Judas Priest.
Priest's influence on the new
Afccept release, Eat the Heat, is
obvious in the guitar and drum
work, but the most glaring simi­larity
lies in the vocals.
Accept's new vocalist, David
Jteece, sounds exactly like
Judas Priest's Rob Halford.
I While anything would seem to
be an improvement compared to
Accept's last vocalist, Udo
Scheckner, at least Udo had a
style of his own.
The originality of Accept has
been traded for better produc­tion
values and a stab at the
commercial metal market, at
the expense of the songs.
The guitar work on "XTC" and
"Love Sensation" is better than
average, and "Stand 4 What U
R" has a catchy tune and cho­rus.
But even these tracks still
fall into a predictable, boring,
head-bashing grind.
While Accept didn't have
much in the way of melody
going for them before, at least
they were unique in a market
full of Led Zeppelin and Kiss
clones.
Now its music is nothing more
than reheated Judas Priest, a
fact the old fans will just have
to "Accept."
-Van Plexico
Burns Sisters, a sound of mediocrity
Endangered Species
The Burns Sisters
Columbia Records
+i
With striking mediocrity. The
Burns Sisters nose-dive into
today's music scene with
Endangered Species.
The five sisters' sound is rem­iniscent
of Heart on some
tracks, though less powerful.
The group relies more on back­ground
vocals to complement its
music, but the production
comes across sounding like the
'We are the World" choir.
The second song on the
album (the first isn't worth
mentioning) is entitled 'We Wait
for Freedom." While The Burns
Sisters are chanting out this
musical feat, the audience is
waiting for some decent lyrics.
The singers have apparently
jumped on the "socially con­scious"
bandwagon and decided
to talk about oppression. Yet
they left out the specifics. All we
hear is "We wail for freedom/I
hear your cries" one too many
times.
Music Review
The second side moves faster
than the first, but the drums
can't quite keep up - the pro­duction
is hideous. This is no
fault of the sisters though, since
they play no instruments on the
album.
This is left up to the man who
does it all on this tape. The
multi-faceted Bob Marlette is

Pizza delivery means safety, efficiency
By McCall Campbell
Staff Writer
There Is one minute left.
The Auburn student
watches the clock antici­pating
a free pizza, but there is
a knock on the door.
According to students, they
worry about the pizza arriving
fast and hot. Students often do
not consider the safety of the
drivers, but the pizza companies
take this issue seriously.
Five of Auburn's pizza delivery
stores - Domino's, PDQ (Pizza
Delivered Quickly), Pizza Pron­to,
Pizza Hut and Godfather's
have some regulations con­cerning
driving and appearance.
"No course is required, but
they (the drivers) must have a
clean driving record," said
Janelle Chen, manager of PDQ.
Pizza Hut drivers also attend
a driving class. Manager Kathy
Henry said.
"I teach the driving course
myself," Henry said.
The drivers attend safety ses­sions
during a course of three to
four weeks.
When a driver is hired at God­father's,
he must sign a release
form so accidents, tickets and
DUI's can be checked. Manager
Bryan Thomason said.
PDQ and Domino's guarantee
delivery within 30 minutes, or
they offer $3 off. If the pizzas
are not ready in time to allow
the drivers adequate time to
deliver, (within the thirty min­utes),
the pizza is automatically
discounted, the managers said.
The discount takes the pressure
off, they said.
'There is no guarantee (on a
late pizza), but if it is late a cer­tain
amount, and really late, it's
free," Thomason said.
Pizza Hut does not have a 30
minute guarantee. "This helps
take some of the pressure off
the driver," Henry said.
"We had one in the past, but
now we don't because of the
problems that arose," Mike Mor­ton,
Pizza Pronto manager and
owner, said.
Each pizza driver also has to
wear proper attire determined
by the company he represents.
At Pizza Pronto, drivers
should be clean shaven while
wearing the uniform shirts and
pants of their choice, Morton
said.
"They have to be clean, smell
good and be neat," Chen said.
Driver appearance is also
important to Godfather's,
Thomason said. All drivers
should wear hats, and their hair
can't touch their shoulders, he
said.
Fingernail polish, heavy
make-up and dangling neck­laces
are not allowed on the
girls, Thomason said. They can
wear only one watch or bracelet
per wrist, he said.
Dead Poets Society: refreshing relief from summer of sequels
Dead Poets Society
Buena Vista
Carmike Cinemas
Rated PG
* * * *
Respect for tradition, navy blazers, mandatory chapel, strict rules,
stodgy professors - these characterize Welton, a prestigious north­east
prepatory school during the 1950s.
In Peter Weir's Dead Poets Society, the stuffiness of the institution,
as well as the parents of Its young men, would squelch any student's
inner desires and ambitions that stray from the expected behavior.
However, the school's new English professor, John Keating, por­trayed
by Robin Williams (Good Morning Vietnam, The World Accord -
ing to Garp), has a zeal for life and passion for teaching which chal­lenges
not only his students, but all that Welton represents.
Keating's bizarre teaching methods spark a fire in the minds of his
students which have been stifled by both school and parental
authority.
Instead of unquestionably pursuing a future set by their parents
or a future considered befitting students of their social and educa­tional
background, Keating challenges the lads: "Carpe Diem," he
says. "Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary!"
Keating arouses his students' interests with his habit of holding
class anywhere but inside the classroom.
During one such class, he leads the young men into a hall filled
with photographs of students who had long since graduated. In a
morbid tone, Keaton remarks that life has continued, leaving the
pictured lads - much like themselves - behind.
"Life goes on, and you may contribute a verse," he says, reminding
them of their immortality. 'What will your verse be?" he asks.
Their curiousity about this fascinating teacher who encourages
them to be free thinkers and to look at the world from a different
view leads them to an old school annual.
They find a photograph of Keating as a Welton student and the
unknown club to which he belonged, the Dead Poets Society.
Neil, Knox, Todd, Cameron, Charlie, Meeks and Pitts ask Keating
about the society. He responds that it was a group of friends that
gathered to read poetry and discuss realism and romanticism. It was
"dedicated to sucking the marrow out of life."
These seven students revive the society and thus begin their jour­ney
to discover what it is they want to acquire from life.
As the school year progresses, the individual lives of the young
men are observed. Williams is heart-warming as the young men's
mentor who helps lead their search within themselves in order to
discover who they are and compare this to what they wish to be.
The movie climaxes to a tragic, yet triumphant, ending.
Though comical, Williams' character is touching as he motivates
his students to beware of conformity and to discover their own
beliefs.
Dead Poets Society is refreshing as it depicts the dreams, desires
and fears of young men rather the the typical degenerate actions one
might expect from a movie about rich, preppy adolescents. With its
beautiful setting and detailed depiction of characters, the movie pro­ceeds
much like a classical novel.
It is indeed refreshing among this summer of sequels.

time trained diamond setters to make your ting Just like you like It.
5. Having a certificate with every diamond, showing the weight, color and
clarity grade value...a chart on each stone as It appears in the "Diamond-scope".
(This chart la the finest protection for you as it is a positive way to
identify It In the future.)
6. What's so special about Ware's prices? We believe you should buy
where you can get the very best value for your money. We also believe if
you understand diamond grades you can tell we're your best value. We
would never try to mislead you with claims of being a dlacounter or
wholesaler. We would never represent color of clarity grade ae being
higher than H really la. We buy our diamonds in Belgium each year so that
there are no middlemen. Grade for grade, we know we can offer you the
very beet value for the dollars you plan to Invest.
7. What's so apodal about Ware's financing? Because we are strong in the
diamond market...we finance our own diamonds. No bank or commercial
credit on on Ware's diamonds...even though we can offer up to 18 months
pay. Let us explain our financing plan. Because our interest ratee are
lower, you spend more for the diamond and less on the interest.
•. What's ao special about Ware's Loose Diamond System? Something
must be, because laet yeer Wares sold more diamonds than any one year
fn their history.
This la your Inventatlon to talk to one of Ware's trained diamond experts,
downtown In Auburn, Village Mall or Parkway Opellka. Unless you have
more money than time, this may be the best investment of your time that
you wM ever make.

Maniacs
continued from 9
nately, she feels empty and that
she is heading for "more dust
bowl days," because she is
poverty-stricken.
The most interesting single of
the album is "Jubilee." Mer­chant
uses a potpourri of reli­gious,
racial and other social
issues.
As the song progresses, an
incredible crescendo builds
toward the finale of both the
song and the album. An eerie
ambience is created as the
lyrics and Merchant's vocals
begin to stir emotions.
For the Maniacs, this album
should be a stepping stone into
the mainstream of contempo­rary
music. They probably do
not want this popular success.
In reference to the mainstream,
the song "You Happy Puppet"
asks, "How did they teach you
to be a happy puppet dancing
on a string?"
- Bo Duncan

Artists
continued from 7
Carcache and Crenshaw cur­rently
show their work at
Behind the Glass.
The art, Carcache said, is a
release from her writing.
"I still consider myself first
and foremost a writer," she said.
"I've gotten more positive rein­forcement
on photography.
There is an immediate gratifica­tion
in visual art. It's very time
consuming to read a novel."
Blair Hobbs, a poet and visual
artist from Auburn, said, "Be­cause
the objects and people I
feed off of are southern, usually
what I write about is southern."
Hobbs became interested in
poetry at the University through
a creative writing course taught
by Rodney T. Smith of the
English department.
"I hadn't really been exposed
to it," she said, but she was
always interested in words and
puns.
"I was suiprised and startled
with what came out of my pen,"

Hobbs said. Then she thought
"H«y, I can do this!"
Hobbs said if she didn't pur­sue
poetry, she would have gone
Into visual arts. "I wanted to be
doing or creating something,"
she said.
She describes her art as
"southern gothic" collages.
Hobbs puts pieces of poems in
the collages, someUmes her own
work and sometimes other's.
"I imagine I'll have to put It
(art) away some at graduate
school," Hobbs said. She will
attend Hollins College in the fall
to pursue a graduate degree In
English.
In order to shoot pictures
throughout the state, Crenshaw
must get grants from the state.
She said this Is the hardest part
of her Job.
"It's a real difficulty. Photogra­phy
is the bastard art, it's not
seen as art," Crenshaw said.
As a southern writer, Hobbs
said that she usually writes
about mothers, sisters, tradi­tions
and how women are treat­ed
in the South.
"We're more connected to the
land in the rural South," Car-cache
said. "It made me feel
quite an attachment to the
magic in every day things like
lightning bugs and rainbows.
This tends to be overlooked
where there is more to enter­tain."
"I'm not interested in writing
about the racial problem, there
are so many black writiers who
can do that better. That is why I
can write better about women in
the South, since I am in that
circumstance,"
She doesn't want the reader
to think about her, the author,
until they have finished the
work, Carcache said.
"I want them to be involved in
my characters," she said.
Hobbs said, "I don't think of
them (her poems) as one unit
that says something about me, I
want them to have their own
Identity."
Crenshaw doesn't use her art
for statements either, she said.
"I don't have any great message.
It's like the lilies of the field,
Just something pretty to look at
and appreciate."

the jack-of-all-trades and mas­ter
of none.
Even a special appearance by
Peter Frampton on the song
"Place to Rock" doesn't save this
group from continued decline.
His guitar solo is the most
inspired, inventive performance
on the tape...and it's not that
good.
The album does come com­plete
with a haunting version of
"My Boyfriend's Back," but
alone it's not enough to justify
buying the tape.
Sadly, Endangered Species is
just another tape doomed to
extinction in all but the bargain
bin.

David
Hardee
Baseball's
best ready
• for final run
Pete Rose, Kevin Mitchell
and the Baltimore Orioles have
been the hottest topics of con­versation
in major league
baseball so far this season.
The All-Star break is the
perfect time to look at them
and the rest of the first half of
the season and ahead to the
final 12 weeks.
I would prefer to neither
write nor read another word
about Rose.
Mitchell, the San Francisco
Giants' stocky third baseman,
has surpassed all expectations
that any one had for him as a
hitter. His 31 home runs put
him on a pace for a National
League record of 58. And
though it seems totally unreal­istic,
he has been homering all
season without a legitimate
No. 5 hitter behind him.
The Orioles continue to baf­fle
the experts by maintaining
the largest lead of any division
(5 1/2 games) with mediocre
hitting and mediocre pitching.
However, Baltimore's .988
fielding percentage (the best in
baseball) has helped them
stage one of the greatest sin­gle-
season turnarounds in
sports history.
However, Baltimore has
achieved this return to glory
through a strange combination
of apparently superficial
changes. No trades or free
agent signings of significance
took place in the off-season.
Though the Birds have a good
lead in the AL East, it is hard
to see them keeping it.
There may be no finer trio of
everyday players on any team
than Toronto's Junior Felix,
Fred McGriff and Tony Fer­nandez.
And don't forget
1987's league MVP George
Bell. The Blue Jays finished
-* the first half with a four-game
winning streak, leaving them
just a game and a half out of
second.
Of all teams, the Seattle
Mariners appear to be the
hottest club in the majors at
the break, finishing with 10
wins in 13 games. The team
that has never had a .500 sea­son
is 42-44 and, though it
probably will not make a run
at California, Oakland, Kansas
City and Texas, it may very
well post its best record ever.
One more note on the West
race: Bo Jackson, Danny Tart-abull
and George Brett, the
Royals' big three hitters, have
appeared in the starting line­up
in only 27 games. If the
three can stay healthy, look
out for the Royals.
The National League's divi­sion
races are even closer than
the AL's.
In the East, the Expos own a
surprising lead over the even
more surprising Cubs, the
Mets and the Cardinals.
Though injuries to New York
are the main reason for Mon­treal's
position in the stand­ings,
the Expos are legitimate.
It seems like the Giants
should have a much larger
lead than two games in the
West. But the pesky Astros
remain right behind them, and
remarkably, the Reds, with
their manager's court prob­lems
and their outfielders'
injuries are only seven games
out.
The Padres have been the
biggest disappointment this
season, and you can forget
about the Dodgers repeating.
The Braves, by the way, are on
the right track, despite the
occasional bewildering trade.
I'm picking the Blue Jays,
Angels, Mets and Giants to be
playing in October, but since
I'll probably be wrong on all
four, there's no use picking a
World Series winner.

Spring v. summer
Baseball's hottest topic grows
By David Hardee
Sports Editor
O^
)
'That morning began with wind and hairy
clouds. It was late March, and day rose brisk
and uncertain, with gusts suggesting January
and flashes of sun promising June. In every
way, a season of change had come."
- Roger Kahn
The Boys of Summer
The course of a college baseball schedule
must see a change in seasons.
The question is: "Which seasons?"
Should college baseball start in February and
run through May as it does now, or should it fol­low
a more traditional baseball timetable, possi­bly
April through August or September?
"That's really been about the hottest topic in
college baseball the last few years," Auburn
coach Hal Baird said.
The issue is intense and complicated. The
sides are largely drawn geographically, with
coaches from the South and West happy with
the current system, and coaches from the Mid­west
and Northeast claiming they are at a disad­vantage
when competing with the Sun Belt
schools.
Anyone who has sat through an Auburn game
in February with the temperature in the 30s and
a chilly breeze blowing might wonder what
coaches, players and fans are putting up with at
Northeastern and Midwestern schools. (They
usually are putting up with long Southern and
Western road trips.)
In fact, these non-Sun Belt coaches have
statistics to help prove their point. Before Wichi­ta
State won this season's national champi­onship
for 22 consecutive years; only teams
from California, Arizona, Texas and Florida had
won national titles in Division I college baseball.
Many coaches claim that this pattern can be
attributed to one thing - scheduling difficulties
for Northern schools caused by the weather.
'Why should teams from colder climates have
to cram 60 games into a nine-week schedule
and have to travel the entire first half of the sea­son,"
Kentucky coach Kieth Madison asked in
the June 2, 1989, edition of Collegiate Baseball,
"while teams in the Sunbelt are able to play
their first 25 at home...and use weather as (the)
primary recruiting tool against Northern
teams?"
"It is time for the majority to stand up and
speak out for what is best for our athletes, our
programs and college baseball as a whole."
In fact, many of the biggest supporters of this
change are as concerned with the good of all of
college baseball as they are with parity among
the schools.
Oklahoma State coach Gary Ward and former
Mercy College (N.Y.) coach Rick Wolff, wrote in
the March 9, 1989, edition of Baseball America
that the only way college baseball is going to
become a solid revenue-producer is to attract
more fans, and the only way to do that is to play
in warmer weather.
Ward and Wolff propose a 120-game, April-to-
September slate.
Maine coach John Winkin has no doubt that
an extended schedule (currently, college teams
can play only 60 regular-season games) through
the summer would increase revenue.
"I am for it (the schedule change) obviously,"
Winkin said. "I think all programs would benefit.
"There is no question it would make more rev­enue
especially with the ability to take advan­tage
of night games."
Baseball America Editor Allan Simpson sees
an extended summer season as the next logical
step for college baseball.
"I think the way college baseball is evolving,
the next step is in the playing season," he said.
'There are real limitations with 60 games.
"Baseball is now the No. 3 college sport. If it
ever wants to make realistic gains and gain
acceptance nationwide, it is going to have to be
played in the summer."
Southeastern Conference Associate Commis­sioner
John Guthrie said two things could bring
the sport greater respect.
"First," he said, "without a doubt, baseball
needs to move toward a common starting date.
"Second, it is obvious that if you started a lit­tle
later in the spring, it would enhance the
sport. It's just too cold to be playing in early
spring, at the Northern schools in particular.
"I think this format could be put into effect by
1991 if the fight people wanted it. The one big
drawback is that the coaches are not united."
Arizona State coach Jim Brock and Texas
A&M coach Mark Johnson are among those
adamantly opposed to the change.
"I don't think you should have any kind of col­lege
athletics while school is not in session,"
Brock said. "It doesn't make much sense."
'We're getting a little bit away from the pur­pose
of an institution and moving toward a pro­fessional
approach," Johnson said. "The time
has come to watch what we do."
There are several major arguments against the
proposal. " '
First, from the players' point of view, an
extended season means that they cannot gain
the experiences of the summer leagues if they
like.
"Coaches have done several surveys," said Bo
Carter, director of Media Relations for the
Southwest Conference, "and they have run into
a little bit of resistance by the Cape Cod League
and the Alaskan League (summer leagues that

Dillard looking forward to making nationals
By David Hardee
Sports Editor
In his four years at Auburn,
Robert Dillard has taken a
floundering lady Tiger gymnas­tics
program and turned it into
a national contender.
Last season saw the lady
Tigers' greatest achievements,
jumping to fifth in the SEC and
narrowly missing qualifying for
the national championships.
Five gymnasts were named aca­demic
All-SEC and three were
named academic Ail-American.
The lady Tigers are hoping to
make the Jump to nationals
next season led by seniors Lisa
Grieco and Kim Suarez and a
strong and deep freshman
class. Grieco set nine school
records last season.
Q. Is this where you expect­ed
the program to be four
years ago rrhen you took
over?
A. Yes. In the beginning, I
always thought it would take
five years to make it to nation­als.
I was hoping we could get
there in four years, but the
injuries knocked us out.
Third in a series
Q. Can you explain the large
number of injuries the team
went through last season?
A. A lot of them were not
major injuries, they were minor.
But what people don't realize is
that when you are sensitive,
your ability to maintain 100
percent ability in the gym is not
likely. A light injury can be
major.
Q. How does this year's
recruiting class rank among
the others you have had at
Auburn?
A. I would say it is the best
recruiting class since I have
been here. It ranks better than
the 1986 group with Lisa Grieco
and Amy Cekander. The skill
level and level of experience are
better.
Q. Where is Auburn gymnas­tics
headed in the next few
years?
A. We're headed where we
want to be headed. We're begin­ning
to match up in routines
and skills and we've gained
national respect. I feel like we
had the second-best recruiting
class in the Southeast behind
Georgia.
This year, we're going with
two of our major meets in the
coliseum. We have three goals.
First, we want to beat the
women's basketball attendance
record they set last year. Sec­ond,
we want to beat the NCAA
women's gymnastics attendance
record set in Gainesville, Fla.,
last year.
Finally, we would like to make
gymnastics more of an income-producing
sport.
We are hosting the 1993 SEC
Championships. We are bidding
on the 1991 regionals and
either the 1993 or 1994 NCAA
Championships.
Q. Few gymnasts continue
to improve throughout their
collegiate careers, yet Grieco
and Suarez get better each
year. Do you think they will
continue to do so as seniors?
A My whole concept of gym­nastics
is that you never quit
improving. No one I know is per­fect.
Lisa will be the best all-around
gymnast in her life as a
senior. She is stronger and more
mature. She will be better than
ever on bars and floor.
Kim has Just made fantastic
progress each year. She keeps
motivating herself to get better
and her skill level improves
each year.
Dillard
The bottom line for any ath­lete
Is that if you keep doing the
same thing over and over, it's
going to get stale. It is healthy
for the athletic mind to always
aim higher.

5 Tigers gaining from B'ham summer league
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
Plainsman files
Brandt skys for a block
The competition is heating up
for the five Auburn basketball
players participating in the
Birmingham Summer League,
the only summer league in
Alabama sanctioned by the
NCAA
Several NBA players, along
with selected players from
Alabama colleges, make up 13
teams that compete for the
honor to play in the
championship tournament
beginning later this month.
"No two Auburn players are
on the same team, so we get to
work with and find (out) more
about Alabama players we will
compete against next season,"
center Robert McKie said.
According to Ron Edwards,
associate commissioner of the
league, Auburn has more
players involved this year than
any of the six years since the
summer league began.
Along with McKie, Auburn's
contribution includes forwards
Zane Arnold, Chris Brandt and
John Caylor and guard Dustin
Hester. Since there are only
eight men on each team,
everyone gets plenty of playing
time, Edwards said.
The 65-game schedule started
on June 15, Edwards said, and
year," Brandt said.
Last year, Brandt joined the
competition in a three-point
shoot-off at t h e end of t he
tournament. "I don't know if I'll
compete in the shoot-off this
year," Brandt added.
McKie scored 26 points and
grabbed 11 rebounds in his first
'I play for longer periods of time, and
I'm able to run a lot easier.'
-Robert McKie
culminates with a six-day
tournament ending July 31.
Professional players such as
Derrick McKey, Milwaukee
Bucks forward, and Jim
Farmer, Indiana Pacers guard,
bring NBA talent to add to the
competition. Statistics are
recorded for each college player
and forwarded to his coach at
the end of t he tournament,
Edwards said.
"Competition is tough this
outing with the summer league.
"They took me off the first
team and placed me on a team
that isn't as good," McKie said.
"This new team appreciates me
though and tries to get me the
ball when they can."
In his first game with the new
team, McKie scored 22 points
and had 11 rebounds.
Though McKie is still
recovering from a hernia
operation, he continues to make
improvements.
"I play for longer periods of
time, and I'm able to run alot
easier," McKie said. "My free-throw
percentage has also
improved."
Scouts for professional teams
watch these games closely. The
league has hosted such NBA
greats as Charles Barkley, who
as an Auburn eager, holds the
league record for most blocked
shots in one game, Edwards
said.
According to Edwards, the
Birmingham Summer League
sends invitations to several
Alabama universities. Coaches
select players for the league, but
players must volunteer to join
the competition, he said.
"We've had good cooperation
from the coaches this year,"
Edwards said.
Players taking a full load of
summer courses and those
working 40 hours each week
sometimes decline the oppor­tunity,
he said.
In addition to the summer
league, coach Tommy J oe
Eagles' players are sweating
through a demanding summer
condiUoning regimen.
"We lift weights on Mondayf
Wednesday and Friday, and run
at 6 a.m. on Tuesday a nd
Thursday," Brandt said.
"I'm down to 252 (pounds)
and have a good feel for what
weights can do for you," McKie,
said.
Next week, he will be able to
fully participate in coach Eagles'
prescribed work-out, after-recovering
from the operation, i
All five look forward to an
opportunity to play in the
league's championship tour­nament.
"They usually give out?
T-shirts and trophies to the
winners," Brandt said.
Since transportation to and
from each game is not provided,
some problems arise for players
without cars. >
'Traveling almost three hours
to Birmingham and three back
after the game means we don't
get home until midnight
sometimes," McKie said.
Training best prevention against injury, coach says
By Van Plexico
Staff Writer
Improved gymnastics training
for all ages would eliminate
most cheerleading injuries.
Auburn coach Robert Dillard
said.
Strict cheerleading guidelines
have been recommended by the
state school board attorney fol­lowing
a $2.1 million settlement
of an injury case in Mobile.
Dillard said he believes that
instead of cutting gymnastics
out of cheerleading, training
and supervision for the cheer­leaders
should be improved.
"The solution is for every
cheerleading squad to have a
qualified supervisor for practice
and during a game," he said.
"Auburn's gymnastics clinics
show the teachers how to teach
gymnastics," he said. "Every
cheerleading sponsor should
attend a clinic."
The average cheerleader does
not know the basics of tum­bling,
he said.
"They want to learn tougher
things they've seen on television
without learning the basics
first, and this leads to injuries,"
he said.
Regarding the recent lawsuits
concerning cheerleading in­juries,
Dillard said that people
were overreacting.
"Negligence should be shown
in order to sue," he said.
"You can't hold the football
coach responsible if you get
your nose broken," he said.
'There is a chance of getting
hurt in any sport or activity," h&
said. "If it is taught right, gyirn
nasties is as safe as any other,

Cash
Players say
scholarship
is not enough
r
By Mary Orndorff
Staff Writer
The business of college athlet­ics
consists of coaches (the
employers) hiring athletes (the
employees) and paying them in
the form of an education.
The question has been raised
as to whether this payment is
enough, and it's been suggested
to the NCAA that athletes of rev­enue
sports (football and men's
basketball) be paid cash in
addition to their scholarships.
"I got injured and gave up
everything to play basketball,"
said Chris Brandt, sophomore
forward. He noted the NCAA
rule forbidding athletes to hold
a job while on scholarship and
said his only source of income is
his parents.
Brandt said he would like to
see part of the revenue from
ticket sales go to the athletes as
spending money, but cautioned
that the amount be regulated by
the NCAA
Brandt's teammate Dustin
Hester, starting his third year as
guard for the Tigers, agreed and
added that not all athletes get
help from their parents.
"We need income Just like any
other student," Hester said.
Darrel Crawford, in his sec­ond
year as inside linebacker,
said that even if athletes were
allowed to work, there wouldn't
be time for it anyway. Crawford
called the idea an "allowance"
for spending money and sug­gested
a weekly sum of $20.
Malcom McCary played on
Auburn's defensive line from
1983-1987 and agrees that an
education is valuable, but
spending money is needed too.
"We generate so much money
for the athletic department
through TV contracts and pro­motions,"
McCary said. "The
athlete is risking so much every
day. If you get hurt, you're
scarred for life."
Neal Davis is a former track-ster
at Western Kentucky Uni­versity
and is now an economics
professor. The athletes of rev­enue
sports bring a lot of money
to the University and deserve an
allowance, he said.
"Athletes have their hands
tied when they accept a scholar­ship,"
Davis said, referring to
the NCAA rule preventing ath­letes
from working.
Davis took the idea a step fur­ther
in suggesting that the NBA
and NFL subsidize college ath­letics.
College teams are becom­ing
a farm system for the pros
and they should help support
them, Davis said.

In honor of the 1989

Jack Simms, head of the
journalism department, said
the money will go into an

"It came from the athletic

Prop 48, court date
stay in Casey's path
By Jon Collins
Staff Writer
Herbert Casey, the 6-foot 175-
pound, Foley High School
standout, is expected to add
depth to Auburn's wide receiver
corps this coming season.
Casey, who was a heavily
sought-after quarterback pros­pect
in 1988. was ineligible to
play as a freshman for the
Tigers, after he failed to make a
minimum score of 15 on the
ACT as required by Proposition
48.
He has now met the academic
requirements necessary for eli­gibility
this fall.
Casey is facing a misde­meanor
charge after being
arrested March 8 for shoplifting
two rolls of film from a local gro­cery
store.
The court date is set for July
24, according to an Auburn
court clerk. This is before pre­season
drills begin in August.
If he is found guilty, the
charge could result in a maxi­mum
of $500 and six months in
jail. However, Casey, 19, is
expected to be tried as a youth­ful
offender.
The office of Casey's attorney
could not comment on his sta­tus.
Casey is reportedly not
commenting on the case until it
is resolved.
"He's eligible to play this fall,"
said Auburn wide receiver
coach Larry Blakeney. "What he
does on the field is yet to be
decided. It will depend on his
attitude."
Head coach Pat Dye is on
vacation this week and was
unavailable for comment. Dye
said previously, however, that
Casey would not be dismissed
from the team.
"Anyone who knows Herbert
Casey knows he isn't a crimi­nal,"
Dye told the Birmingham
Post-Herald last week. \

Second, baseball players,
unlike football and basketball
players, are not on full scholar­ship
and may choose to work in
the summer for needed money.
Third, many, including Brock
and Mississippi State coach Ron
Polk, said they have a problem
playing when the student body
is gone for the summer.
Fourth, some coaches and
administrators are not con­vinced
the extended season
would create additional rev­enue.
"A lot of administrators don't
want the extra cost of paying for
food and expenses," Carter said.
The additional travel and
boarding costs, some said,
would outweigh the turnstile
gains.
"I think it would price a lot of
schools right out of baseball,"
Brock said.
Polk is not even sure that
attendance will increase.
"I'm not convinced that if you
can't draw in April and May that
you will be able to in July and
August," he said.
Brock had another argument
concerning what separates the
colleges from the pros.
"Each university makes a
decision, for whatever reason,
on what sports they are going to
emphasize," he said. "That is
the uniqueness of college athlet­ics.
"Basketball in Indiana is obvi­ously
a lot bigger that it is here.
Gymnastics is very popular
here. Very few schools can go
full-bore in all sports.
"Even if we change, the South
would undoubtedly have more
interest in baseball than the
North.
"Obviously, we (Arizona State)
will never be big into ice hock­ey."
Though college baseball now
regularly produces as many
high draft picks as high schools,
the relationship between the
pros and colleges are still some­what
strained.
"I would like to see a lot better
relationship between the col­leges
and the pros," Simpson
said.
"It seems like an extended col­lege
season would allow pro
scouts to look at a player over
the long haul."
"We haven't given it (the
change) any thought," said
George Fister of the Office of the
Commissioner of Major League
Baseball. "It would create some
small problems but no big prob­lems."
Ted Simmons, director of
Player Development for the St.
Louis Cardinals, said, "It's not
something I'm overtly concerned
with. I don't know if it would
affect us or not.
"I can assume major league
baseball would go in the same
path it is now. I doubt that
major league baseball is going
to alter its existing structure."
How easily could such a dra­matic
change be made?
Baird said, "There would be
large amounts of expenditure
initially because of room and
board. I don't know that rev­enue
would increase dramati­cally
at first.
"Other than that, our adjust­ments
would be easy."

g. Do you think the NCAA
needs to do something to con­trol
and conform the judging?
A I think what we've got to
look at is making the scoring
across the nation all come from
the same base. The rules are
the same everywhere, but for
some reason, the application of
the judging rules are not all the
same.
I think we need to look at the
possibility of flip-flopping the
judges across the nation. I want
our gymnasts to know who they
are and where they are, but if
our gymnasts don't get a
chance, its not fair.
Q. What is your philosophy
toward scheduling?
A. If you are going to win a
national championship, you
have to beat the best teams
anyway.
A weaker team tends to pull
our scoring down. If we're facing
a Cal State-Fullerton, a Georgia
or a Florida, the judges are
going to pick it up a little with
the scoring.
