Alumni programs director removed
By Melissa Denney
Staff Writer
The director of Alumni Pro­grams
was fired from the
Auburn Alumni Association on
Friday, Aug. 18, according to an
Alumni Association spokesman.
She would not comment on
the reasons for the dismissal.
Sheila Eckman had been the
director of alumni programs for
three and one half years and
had worked for the University
for 11 years, she said.
She was reportedly a support­er
of former Alumni Association
Executive Director Jerry Smith
during the seven-month contro­versy
that ended with his resig-
Would-be
victims stop
robbery try
By Melissa Denney
Staff Writer
A 17-year-old black male was
apprehended and charges were
filed following an incident of
attempted robbery of three Uni­versity
coeds at Habitat Condo­miniums
on Wednesday, Aug.
16, according to an Auburn city
police spokeswoman.
'Two of the coeds confronted
the intruder and an altercation
took place," she said
"The intruder was stabbed
several times with a knife before
leaving the scene. One of the
coeds received minor injuries
during the altercation," the
spokeswoman said.
Police refused to release the
names of the juvenile suspect.
They also would not release the
names of the Auburn coeds.
'We are treating the coeds in
the same manner in which we
would treat a rape victim," said
the spokesman.
Eckman 'disappointed' about dismissal
from 3 1/2-year position at Association
nation.
'This comes as a total sur­prise,"
Eckman said. "I am hurt.
I am disappointed.,It is not fair.
"I don't know what I am going
to do, but I am standing on my
reputation as evidenced by my
work for my three former super­visors
at Auburn - Coach Lee
Haley, Coach Pat Dye and Mr.
Jerry Smith."
Eckman declined to comment
on the reasons for her termina­tion.
She said she knew of no
other dismissals at this time.
The Alumni Association
spokesman for interim Execu­tive
Director W. Dee Powell said,
"We will have to abide by Uni­versity
policy which prohibits
the release of any information
about internal matters."
He declined any further com­ment.
Smith was unavailable for
comment Tuesday, but his wife
read a prepared statement for
him.
"I am sorry to hear of Sheila
Eckman's termination," Smith's
statement read. "I hired her
three years ago after interview­ing
about 40 applicants.
"During that time she was
always very productive and pro­fessional."
Eckman is the first employee
to be removed since the resigna­tion
of Smith in April. Six other
employees have resigned from
the Alumni Association.

Trustees approve admissions cap by 1999
By Matt Smith
News Editor
The board of trustees passed
a resolution Friday to limit
enrollment at the University's
main campus to 25,000 stu­dents
by the end of the century.
The resolution, adopted by
the board's planning and priori­ties
committee and passed
unanimously by the trustees,
calls for the University to
"actively recruit and give priority
to Alabama students" and to
Invite students who are not
admitted here to apply at the
University's Montgomery cam­pus.
Although there is no explana­tion
in the resolution of how any
ceiling would be enacted. Presi­dent
Martin raised the possibili­ty
Friday afternoon1 of tuition or
standards hikes for out-of-state
students.
"We'll probably explore some
additional parameters directed
toward out-of-state enrollment,"
Martin said, "and try to start off
there to keep as many Alabama
students in the pipeline as pos­sible.
.
"There are any number of
ways to do that. You can raise
standards for the out-of-state
students, you can raise fees;
there are any number of ways.
We haven't decided on any of
the mechanisms yet. We know
some of the things we're going
to look at, but we haven't decid­ed
what the mix will be."
Students will be encouraged
to attend AUM largely by
increased publicity he said.
"In some of our literature,
probably, we will encourage
them by telling them this is
another campus in the Auburn
system, he said, "and is avail­able
If they are not admitted to
this campus, they can apply
down there.

Drake error
has student
hospitalized
By Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
A misdiagnosis by a Drake
Student Health Center doctor
nearly resulted in the death of
Auburn student Scott Brooks,
02 ME, his mother, Linda Eison,
said.
Pat Barnes, the University's
vice president for student
affairs, said she was aware of
the situation, and an investiga­tion
will be made by Drake Stu­dent
Health Center Director Dr.
Gerald Everett when he returns
from vacation in about a week.
"These kids put their trust in
these people, and they don't
have their moms and dads there
to take care of them. Somebody
should have looked a little fur­ther,
I think," Barnes said.
Eison sent a letter to Everett
which recounted her son's expe­rience.
According to the letter.
Brooks went to the health cen­ter
about noon on July 31, com­plaining
of vomiting and severe
stomach pains.
He was diagnosed as having
gastritis, given some pills and
an antacid and sent home, the
letter said.
Brooks tried to follow the
directions, but he couldn't keep
any of the medicine down, Eison
said.
His condition worsened,
which he attributed to not being
able take his medicine. About
6:30 p.m., a friend took him to
the East Alabama Medical Cen­ter
emergency room because his
pain had become unbearable

Committee takes spirit 1 paw too far
By Matt Smith
News Editor
Several SGA members may
face fines or misdemeanor
charges in connection with the
painting of a 20-by-20-foot
orange tiger paw at Toomer's
Corner early Sunday morning.
SGA Spirit Committee chair­man
Butch Parsons, 04 SC, and
eight members of his committee
were taken to Auburn Police
headquarters and threatened
with charges of criminal mis­chief
and possible fines from the
state Highway Department, Par­sons
said Tuesday.
Auburn Police Chief Ed
Downing said Wednesday that
city authorities have not yet
decided to press formal charges.
'We're checking with the city
engineers and the Highway
Department to see if anyone
wants to file charges. We didn't
Just scoop them up and put
them in Jail," he said.
The city will probably not
press charges, but the Highway
Department might, he said.
'The charge would be some­thing
along the lines of criminal
mischief," Downing said. "There
might be a special state charge,
also."
Parsons said, 'We had taken
it upon ourselves to go ahead
and paint the tiger paw. That
was, I guess, just creative think­ing.
"The city proceeded to move
us from Toomer's Corner to the
police station, where we were
stationed for about 45 minutes
to an hour...They reminded us
of the city and state violations
involved, like defacing public
property and damaging state
property."
No charges have been filed
yet, but may be pending. Par­sons
said.
"They have not officially got­ten
back In touch with me
about what charges have or
have not been filed, and they
have not told me what the
report says," he said.
A decision to file charges
could be in by the end of the
week, Downing said.
'We don't think its that bad,
really," he said. "We just don't
want them to do it again."
Assistant Dean of Student
Affairs Grant Davis said he has
been working with city officials
to clear up the matter.
'We'll do whatever we need to
do to correct this." he said Tues­day.
Parsons said his group had
been out since 4 a.m. Sunday
and had already painted a
series of paws along Donahue
Drive and further south on Col­lege
Street when they began on
the Toomer's Corner project, at
about 6 a.m.
"It took us nearly 35 minutes
and about five gallons of paint,"
he said. "Wed j u s t finished
when two police cars
approached. It was like fate, like
destiny."
He said the purpose of the
project was to promote spirit.

'Don't do it again:' the 20-foot paw at Toomer's Corner

Auburn, Toomer's Corner is not
only the one where pep rallies
are held, but most parades
come through there. It's kind of
the big square of town."
Auburn Chamber of com­merce
spokesman Gail Also-brook
said yesterday the only
comments she had heard about
the painted paw have been posi­tive.

Crime on campus dropped 14
percent in 1988, while reports
of serious crime in the city of
Auburn jumped 10 percent,
according to an FBI report
released this month.
Last year on the main cam­pus,
458 incidents were report­ed,
compared to 531 in 1987,
Police Chief Jack Walton said.
Reports of theft, the most
common crime at the Universi­ty,
dropped from 460 to 398
reports, he said.
Walton attributed the de­crease
to students' increased
consciousness of petty theft.
"I think people are more care­ful
with their belongings and
are aware that they can be a
victim," he said.
While , overall reports were
down, there were 12 "violent"
crimes, which included 10
assaults and two robberies,
compared to eight the previous
year, he said.
"The increase in serious
crimes seems to be a national
trend. They're generally not con­ducive
to college campuses , but
it's something we're seeing
across the nation," he said.
There were no murders on
campus in 1988 and no rapes
reported during the year, he
said.
Contributing to the city of
Auburn's rise in serious crime
is an increase in drug activity
and an increase in the city's
population. Auburn Police Chief
Ed Downing said.
"Everything is growing in the
city, including the drug prob­lem,"
Downing said. 'We don't
have enough police officers, but
we do what we can."
Although Auburn had in­creases
in rape, robbery, bur­glary,
theft and arson, its
increase is comparable to other
cities of similar size, he said.
There were three murders in
1988 compared to one in 1987,
Downing said.

Correction
In a Plainsman editorial last
week entitled "Non-ethics," it
was incorrectly stated that the
State Ethics Commission had
cleared former Alumni
Director Jerry Smith of the
ethical violations he was
investigated for by the
attorney general's office."
In fact, the Commission
found probable cause for the
ethics violations and
recommended the state's
prosecuUon of Smith, but the
investigation was later
dropped.
The Plainsman regrets the
error.

Health Center carrying 'morning after' pills
Jennifer Allen
Assistant Copy Editor
Drake Student Health Center
Carries the "morning after" birth
control pill that prevents preg­nancy
after the fact, said Terry
Smith, nurse practitioner at
Drake.
"It (the 'morning after' pill)
stops implantation of the egg in
the side of the uterus so that it's
never implanted. Placenta never
develops. The fertilized egg goes
out with the period the next
month," Smith said.
This pill is not to be confused
I.with the abortion pill being used
Pin France. RU 486, which has
rnot yet been approved by the
hFDA.
, In the midst of the national
I Controversy concerning abor­tion,
this pill is relatively well
I j accepted, she said.
"One of the reasons is that the
I intent is not to disrupt an
[implanted pregnancy," she said.
"The intent is to prevent a preg­nancy.
"Most medical people don't
consider that there's a pregnan­cy
until it implants in the wall
' This is...not
something we
would offer you
on a routine
basis.'
- Terry Smith
of the uterus. So there's usually
not a problem with it ethically
as far as medicine is con­cerned."
Although some people do have
objections to the pill, she said,
most do not.
"An IUD works exactly the
same way, and most people will
accept an IUD. So, if one is
acceptable to you, the other one
probably would be as well,"
Smith said.
The pill was originally devel­oped
for rape victims and
became available at Drake
about three years ago, she said.
"Originally it was a shot that
was given in the emergency
room, and I believe some emer­gency
rooms are still offering
that. You can probably get it at
East Alabama (Medical Center)
right now. We don't give the
shot, we just use the birth con­trol
pills," Smith said.
Two pills are taken initially,
and two more are taken 12
hours later. There are occasion­al
side effects, but not in most
cases, she said.
The method is about 95 per­cent
effective if the pill is taken
within 72 hours of intercourse.
However, Smith said, this
should not be used as a regular
form of birth control.
"When you come in, we do
counsel you that you need a
permanent method of birth con­trol,"
she said. "This is not a
method of birth control that we
would give you month after
month.
"This is something that is for
the unusual occurrence, not
something we would offer you
on a routine basis."
A physical exam is not neces­sary
to receive the pills, but cer­tain
medical questions are
asked. There are physical condi­tions
that would prevent pre­scription
of the pills, Smith
said.
"If you had high blood pres­sure.
If you had a blood clot, If
you had had hepatitis within
the last year, something like
that, then I probably would not
give them to you," she said.
The "morning after" pills are
not requested often, Smith said,
in comparison to the regular
forms of birth control pills.
"I would say that once a
month was overestimating it (for
me 'morning after' pill)," she
said. 'We give out prescriptions
for birth control pills probably
15 times a day. And during the
fall, it is more than that.
"This is kind of a rare thing
for us. Most people who are sex­ually
active plan how not to
become pregnant so this is usu­ally
an isolated instance."
Rural hospitals face crisis, professor says
By John Yoder
Staff Writer
Eleven Alabama hospitals
have closed since 1987, making
Alabama the state with the most
closings, according to a poll
taken earlier this year by the
Alabama Hospital Association.
A similar survey by financial
reporters for Medicare shows
that 75 percent of Alabama's
remaining 145 hospitals have
operated in the red for the past
two years .
Assistant Political Science
Professor Doris Ford is current­ly
forming a proposal to obtain
a grant for further investigation
of this problem.
This problem is hitting the
rural areas the hardest, as most
of the closed hospitals were
rural, she said.
Because of the sparse popula­tion
of rural areas, many hospi­tals
are "not able to compete in
the competitive type of environ­ment
we have now for hospi­tals,"
Ford said.
Because of this. low-income

LETA starts
shuttle runs
for students
By Suzanne Rauch
Staff Writer
The Lee County Transit
Authority will begin providing
shuttle service for Auburn stu­dents
beginning this fall, LETA
Director of Planning and Trans­portation
Kim Butler said Mon­day.
This service will be running
on a trial basis. If there is
enough interest in the program,
then the routes will become per­manent.
Butler said.
Two buses will be running on
an hourly basis, along different
routes, between the hours of
7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Bus I will pick up riders at
Habitat, Tamarack Apartments,
Woodland Hills, Brookside and
at the corner of Donahue and
West Glenn Avenue. The cam­pus
drop-off point will be on
South College Street.
Bus II will pick up passengers
at College Park, Village West
and at the corner of Shug Jor­dan
Parkway and Samford
Avenue, with the drop-off point
at the corner of Samford and
SouthCollege Street.
The cost per trip will be 80
cents. A fare card can be pur­chased
for $10 for 15 single
trips, Butler said.
"If we get a great response
and more apartment complexes
show an interest, then we will
be more than glad to add them
to the program," she said.
County public transportation
services such as LETA were in
danger of losing federal funding
when the state Legislature cut
fund allocations for these serv­ices
from the budget this year.
LETA receives an annual allo­cation
of $175,000 from the fed­eral
government. In order to
receive federal funding, the
agency needs an administrative
unit, which is provided by this

standards. And the state funds
provide this. Without an admin­istrative
unit, you don't get a
dime." Butler said.
In order to create the match­ing
funds needed to receive the
federal allocations. Gov. Hunt
ordered that the needed funds
be transferred from the Alaba­ma
Department of Economic
and Community Affairs to the
state Highway Department on
Aug. 9, said Bill Luckerson,
state transportation planner.
The highway department then
placed the funds into its Urban
Mass Transit Division. This divi­sion
doles out the appropriate
funds to the 63 counties which
have public transportation pro­grams,
he said.
'We base the fund allocations
to the counties on the basis of
their rural populations," Luck­erson
said. "These programs
provide public transportation to
people, who primarily use the
systems to get to work, the doc­tor's
office or to the grocery
store."

Poll: Heflin already holds lead
By John Yoder
Staff Writer
With the U.S. Senate race 13
months away, Alabama Sen.
Howell Heflin has begun pre­election
polls and results show
him leading the Republican
candidate Bill Cabaniss and
other Republicans who have not
declared their candidacies.
The poll was conducted by
Southern Opinion Research of
Tuscaloosa and directed by
Jerry Ray of Ray Publications,
Heflin's former press secretary.
Ray said he feels it is not too
early to begin this type of pre­election
polls and campaigning.
He said he calls their strategy
the "constant campaign," always
promoting the senator during
his six-year term.
"Thirteen months, when
you're talking about a six-year
term, you're well toward the end
of the term." Ray said. "In this
political world that we now live
in, the campaign really never
stops.
So, 13 months out, in most
situations, polling has already
started well before that. For
example. In the Alabama gover­nors
race, polling has been
going on for at least six months
to a year."
The poll, conducted from
June 18-21 and released on
Aug. 8, randomly surveyed 511
registered voters with a sam­pling
error of approximately
plus or minus 5 percent, at a 95
percent confidence level.
In the poll between Heflin and
Cabaniss, the only GOP con­tender
to declare his candidacy,
Heflin led 62 percent to 19 per­cent.
Results showed that if former
Attorney General Charles Grad-dick
were to run, Heflin would
receive 59 percent of the vote
and Graddick 26 percent.
If Montgomery Mayor and for­mer
Alabama Republican Party
Chairman Emory Folmar were
to run, 60 percent would vote
for Heflin and 23 percent for
Folmar. The remainder of the
voters in each situation were
undecided.
Although this1 lead Is impres­sive,
Ray said, "We never look at
a poll as if it were a prediction.
It is simply like a snap-shot of
opinion at that time.
"When you're a politician, you
know that in 13 months there's
still a lot of time, that a lot can
happen and that the poll that
we're seeing now is Just the pre­sent
mark."

Accessibility drive continues
University installing wheelchair lift at Martin Hall
By LeAnn Blackstock
Staff Writer
Auburn University Committee
for the Handicapped is planning
to build an access ramp for
Martin Hall and Langdon Hall to
"move toward making the Uni­versity
fully accessible for the
handicapped.
e The ramp for Martin Hall
should be complete by the first
pf September, Committee Chair­man
Randy McDaniel said.
The committee has cut curbs,
-placed wheelchair lifts at Haley
|<Ceriter and Pebble Hill and low­ered
the elevator controls in
Ptoy Union, McDaniel said.
Not only has the committee
Smade renovations for the mobil­ity
impaired, but has also come
to the aid of the seeing and
hearing impaired. University
Architect Charles Muller said.
'Any building built
prior to 1980 was
not built with han­dicapped
access.'
- Charles
Muller
"For instance, one student
requested a white marker board
placed in class," he said,
"because he could not read
what was written on the black
board.
"Any building built prior to
1980 was not built with handi­capped
access, and now these
buildings must be upgraded."
The University provides the
committee with $10,000 a year
to accomplish as much renova­tion
as possible. Thus, problems
of renovation include expenses •
and the number of older build­ings
needing renovation,
McDaniel said. Plus, handi­capped
accessibility is not
always considered a high priori­ty
compared to some issues like
parking.
"There is a lot of interest with
this area, but it is a slow pro­cess,"
McDaniel said.

Ijsaid. But what most people
Jdon't realize is that the largest
| . i|percentage of the poor, 63 per-pcent,

I "What makes that hard to

will ever run into a poor
white," he said. "The reason for

; live in rural areas. They're not
the kind of people you're likely
to run into around town. Poor
; blacks are typically urban."
Flynt said the high cancer
mortality rate among the poor
stems from three main factors:
•Poor people do not have the
money to pay for proper health
care. Additionally, 34 million to
37 million people are not cov­ered
by any form of health
insurance. Rural areas also suf-
• ' fer from a huge shortage of doc-j
tors and hospitals.
•Many poor people are fatalis­tic.
Some of the reasons behind
the fatalism are religious and
some are cultural.
"The basic idea is when your
number's up, your number's
up, and when you get sick,
you're going to die," he said.
•The primary source of medi­cal
help for most poor people is
an emergency room. Unfortu­nately,
Flynt said, an emergency
room is the worst possible place
for an indigent person who
needs medical care.
the middle and upper class, he
said.
While problems such as
insurance coverage will not be
easy to solve because of the
power of its lobbying force,
Flynt said he suggested three
possible solutions for the dilem­ma:
•Provide some sort of univer­sal
health insurance for the
poor. Flynt said that this would
probably require raising taxes,
but the money would be better
'Most poor whites five in rural areas.
They're not the kind of people you're
likely to run into around town. Poor
blacks are typically urban.'
- Wayne Flynt
"Emergency room staff are
trained to handle a life-threat­ening
situation," he said. "So if
you go in with a illness that is
not a life-threatening emergen­cy,
they're just going to refer
you to a doctor.
"Not only are emergency
rooms not prepared to provide
that kind of health care, but
they are also the most expensive
form of health care in the Unit­ed
States."
The poor population, knowing
that it cannot afford health
care, often tries to live with its
illness rather than go to a doc­tor,
Flynt said. This results in
late diagnosis, and the cancer is
often so far advanced that there
is not much that can be done.
The advanced stage, which
cancer reaches before detection
is the reason that poor people
have higher mortality rates,
even though some forms of can­cer
are more common among
spent paying to diagnose a
patient early and cure them,
rather than forcing them to wait
until their case is terminal and
paying to care for them while
u they die.
"Basically what we have to
decide as a society is whether
we want to pay this cost at the
end of the process, when the
person is going to die, or
whether we should pay the cost
up front and provide them with
the health insurance and health
education necessary to avoid
the terminal illness," he said.
•Providing incentives for new
doctors to practice in rural
areas. These incentives could
include lower malpractice insur­ance
rates, since doctors are
less likely to be sued in rural
areas or giving tax breaks so

get reaccreditation
By Tawanda Shaw
Staff Writer

AnbyOavWt
The architecture program at
Auburn recently received five-year
reaccreditation, while the
Child Study Center and the
Small Animal Clinic also
earned continued national cer­tification,
a spokesman at the
University announced last
week.
"We are pleased to receive
notice of our continued
accreditation," said Ray K.
Parker, dean of the School of
Architecture. "It recognizes
Auburn's high level of excel­lence
as a University and in
the program of architecture."
The National Architectural
Accrediting Board reviewed the
program through a year long
process involving a self-study,
a written program review and
an on-site team review, Parker
said.
Professional leaders in archi­tecture
chosen for the team
represent regulatory boards of
major architecture organiza­tions
nationwide, he said.
While the core of each uni­versity's
review is essentially
the same, the program is
attuned to the unique qualities
of each campus, Parker said.
"Our needs are constantly
changing. Like other universi­ties
across the nation, we try
to maintain a good balance
between the historical and the
contemporary goals of the pro­gram,"
Parker said.
The Child Study Center
received three year reaccredi­tation
from the National
Academy of Early Childhood
Programs.
It is one of the first
preschool programs in the
United States to be reaccredit-ed
by that organization,
according to Janice Grover,
director of the center and an
instructor in the department of
family and child development.
To become reaccredited, the
Child Study Center had to
meet a variety of strict criteria
related to providing activities
appropriate for preschool chil­dren,
such as having a well
qualified and trained staff, an
adequate number of staff for
the number of children and
meeting stringent health and
safety standards.
Also following a national
evaluation, Auburn's Small
Animal Clinic earned four-year
reaccreditation by the Ameri­can
Animal Hospital Associa­tion.
'The evaluation includes a
quality assessment review of
the veterinary hospital's facili­ties,
medical equipment, prac­tice
methods and pet care
management," said Charles
Knecht, professor and head of
the department of small ani­mal
surgery and medicine in
the College of Veterinary
Medicine.

Road trip to
Pettus Bridge
and beyond
On Sunday, I had to give in
to commercialism; I had no
choice. It Just came over me -
road trip to Wonkatonkwa.
There is no Wonkatonkwa in
Alabama, and I hate Sprite, so
myself and my friends opted
for the next best thing,
Cahawba (by the way, we
won't discuss the refresh­ments
that accompanied us).
Cahawba was the original
home of of our beloved state
capital, until the rains came
and washed it all away.
We headed out of Auburn at
noon and drove east in a bat­tered
blue Plymouth, the
sounds of Tom Waits grating
in the background.
The trip was nondescript,
actually downright dead, until
we reached the Edmund Pet­tus
Bridge in Selma.
Something rattled deep
inside me as we drove across
the bridge. I looked around
and all three of us had the
same expression of awe on our
faces. We stopped the car.
As the three of us walked
across the bridge, I could feel
the passion and fury of the
1965 march on Montgomery.
Then Matt noticed some­thing
painted on the bridge.
As we walked closer it became
I apparent just what it was.
Some misguided Individual
had painted a swastika on the
side of the famous bridge.
There were no signs mark­ing
the historic sight where
Dr. King and the dauntless
crusaders for justice were bru-
|« tally bashed. There was only
that infamous symbol of
oppression and hatred splat-
I tered on the bridge.
With that, I sort of moped
back to the blue Plymouth and
the three of us drove down
|* Highway 22 to our destina­tion.
As we turned off of the
two-lane roller coaster and
onto the road to Cahawba the
late afternoon sun gave the
red clay roads unusual color.
With this glimpse of color,
* we began to get excited. We
were only moments away from
the ruins of the old capital. We
> were about to come face to
face with history. We turned
the corner, and there it was -
a trailer park.
• I took a few shots of the old
capital building, which is now
home to a couple of vintage
1950 abandoned and battered
Blue Bird buses, and we set
out in search for real ruins.
"I've found them, IVe found
» them," Matt exclaimed as he
pushed back his olive drab
outback hat, esthetically
adorned with a Pogues pin,
over his forehead. I ran over to
find out what it was. I was
standing face to face with it,
m the ruin of Cahawba. A 12-foot
tall chimney with a sort of
Freudian look about it, that
serves as a home to a few
* thousand red ants, was in
front of me.
With a feeling of mutual dis­gust,
we loaded up the blue
Plymouth and took off for
£uburn.
j I felt different, shall I say
•"'wiser, when I arrived in
Auburn. I realized that the
more things do change the
# more they stay the same.
Alabama will never rise above
i ts position as third world
state of the South as long as
* the mentality of the people
does not change as well.
It takes more to change a
• society than a Shakespeare
Festival and some occasional
culture. It takes education
(almost one half of Alabamians
" have no high school diploma).
lit takes rising up and meeting
the challenges that face us
, and not j u s t sitting back,
watching and complaining.
Pop to Polka
Fall music releases offer something for everyone, everything
By Michael Gordon
A&E Editor
The temperature may start to
drop, but the record releases
are going to be hot.
Former lead singer of the Liv­erpool-
based band Echo & the
Bunnymen, Ian McCulloch, has
his first solo album slated for
release in late September.
McCulloch has teamed up with
Cocteau Twin, Elizabeth Frazer,
on the album's first release
"Candleland."
It looks like the Bunnymen
break-up is final now that Pete
De Frietas is dead, McCulloch is
out on his own and Will Sear-gent
is looking for a new band.
Kate Bush Is set to release her
new album entitled The Sensu­al
World. Bush Is going to be
accompanied by the members of
the Bulgarian Female Vocal
Choir on the album. This would
seem to go along with a trend of
popularizing ethnic sounds and
beats on contemporary Western
releases.
Midnight Oil is back in a stu­dio
in Sydney looking at a possi­ble
double album release in
November.
Look for Camper Van
Beethoven's new release on Vir­gin
vinyl, the band has picked
up a 21 year old, female violin­ist
named Morgan Fitcher. The
album's title is Key Lime Pie to
emphasize the tropical flair that
the album takes on.
Tears For Fears, the band
that reached pop stardom, then
fell off the abyssal edge of the
earth, has climbed back onto
the music scene with the up­coming
release of a 12-lnch mix
due out in late fall.

Look for a release Just out
from Phranc. a folk-like singer
reminiscent of other female pop-folksters
that have been dotting
the charts during the last 12 or
so months.
The long awaited album from
ex-Generation X punkster BiUy
Idol is due out in late October.
The album has been in the
works for quite some time, so
expect something different. The
word is that Idol will be covering
the Doors classic hit "L.A.
Woman" on this new release.
A Texas based band called Pol
Dog Pondering has decided to
sign with Columbia records
after being wooed by nearly
every major label In the United
States.
Look for a few major tours
slated for this fall as well. Elvis
Costello, minus the Attractions,
plus the Rude Five. The Pogues
will go on a blistering U.S. tour
after their recent sell-out
album.
10,000 Maniacs are on tour
with Camper Van Beethoven.
Don't forget the major arena
tour by the Cure this fall, as
Robert Smith and the other
"imaginary boys" travel across'
the Atlantic on the Queen Eliza­beth
II. It seems that the Aqua-
Net posterchild is afraid to fly
and will only travel by bus and
ship.
The record companies are not
planning on letting us down this
fall In the new release depart­ment.
Most major labels have
big releases scheduled for the
fall.

by a barrage of tour dates

1990. Soviet past looks to future
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
While Soviet President
Mikhail Gorbachev's
plan for economic and
political change gains increas­ing
momentum at home, a Sovi­et
scientist and researcher in
Auburn said 1990 will deter­mine
whether perestroika will
survive.
"Next year will be the turning
point for (Gorbachev's) new poli­tics,"
Vladimir Stratanovich
said. "He (Gorbachev) must
eliminate the (Joseph) Stalin
and (Leonid) Brezhnev-types in
the political system of the Soviet
Union."
During this quarter, Stra­tanovich
has teamed with Con­ner
Bailey, associate professor
of agricultural economics and
rural sociology at Auburn, to
teach a graduate-level seminar,
"The Political Economy of Devel­opment."
Gorbachev's plan for reform is
an opportunity for Russia to ful­fill
one of Lenin's ideals that
spurred the 1917 Bolshevik
Revolution, the Soviet scientist
said during a classroom press
conference last week.
The Revolution was a civil war
that was aimed at replacing
monetary values with new ones,
he added.
"Perestroika is a new type of
democracy based on human
'Next year will be
the turning point
for (Gorbachev's)
new politics.'
- Vladimir
Stratanovich
values," Stratanovich said. "It
has grass-roots support."
Stratanovich attributed recent
Soviet changes, such as political
liberalization and economic
reform, to a leader who is
younger, better educated and
more liberal than most of the
previous Soviet leaders.
"Gorbachev is a very typical
figure," he said. "Most (Soviets)
believe he is like Brezhnev, who
was more liberal also."
The Soviet president's effort to
restructure the society is ham­pered
by a $160 billion budget
deficit and immobile, conserva­tive
bureaucrats within the
Communist Party that reject
perestroika.
According to Stratanovich,
some of the mid-level bureau­crats
opposed to Soviet change
have tried to weaken Gor­bachev's
credibility by over-exaggerating
human strife and
the hunger problem in Russia.
Since the Soviet Union is in
such a transitional period,
Stratanovich said, it is easier for
anti-Gorbachev supporters to
create an artificial food deficit.
"Gorbachev will overcome the
mid-level bureaucrats," he said.
"I'm sure that Gorbachev will
win."
Stratanovich earned a Candi­date
of Science degree, similar
to the doctorate, from Moscow
State University. He will return
to Moscow at the end of sum­mer.
50 ways to postpone your quest for knowledge
By Jennifer Wynn
Features Editor
So, you're just getting in
the swing of things for
summer, sitting by the
pool, heading to the beach,
when you remember - exams.
Well, here are a few ways to
procrastinate the studying ritu­al
as long as possible:
1 . Clean up your room/
apartment.
2 . It is imperative to catch up
with all those friends who are
graduating. It doesn't matter
that you could care less for
their company previously.
3 . Take plenty of study
breaks to go to the Flush,
movies or the beach.
4 . Get arrested for painting a
tiger paw at Toomer's Corner.
5 . Pay all parking tickets, or
better still, think of plausible
excuses to tell the AUPD.

Moinx, cutting-edge art from Auburn
Rod Popwell, owner of Behind
the Glass, has gone beyond the
typical abstract sofa art that is
so often displayed In Auburn.
He has brought together a
show by the artists of Moinx,
Inc. that is exciting, innovative
and probably will yield some
local controversy.
Entertainment
Spotlight
"This is something that we
haven't done before, and it
needed to be shown," Popwell
said hesitantly as he added,
"but I might regret it."
The centerpiece of the show is
a large, expressionist crucific-tion
scene, by artist Joel
Thomas, entitled "In Excelius
Deo." The dark, ominous piece
is approximately 10 feet long.
Gallery Director Eve Stalker
said she felt, "The piece is remi­niscent
of German expression­ism."
The background is a midnight
black, and the Christ is por­trayed
in deep, brilliant color.
The face gives a feeling of both
intense agony and subtle
humor. It Is the most intense
piece of art ever seen at the
gallery.
Thomas continues along the
biblical line, with his sculpture
of a nude Christ hanging on the
cross in a more expressionistic
manner than the scene is most
often portrayed.
The owner of Moinx, Inc.,
Scott Peek, also has a large
painting in the show. The piece
is entitled "Zeke." It is typical of
Peek, In that it Is heavily Influ­enced
by the ethnic, Afrlcan-esque
style In which Peek often
paints.
What is most interesting
about this particular piece is
the medium on which the oil Is
placed. A large field medical
stretcher becomes the canvas
on which Peek's character,
"Zeke," is placed.
Artist Andrew Cost has sever­al
works In the show. One Is a
purple and black oil montage
reminiscent of many works by
Keith Haring. However, Cost's
works lack the passion of Har­ing.
Cost is also showing several
oil painted road signs that make
use of interesting media.
Garnetta "Chi Chi" Lovett has
two excellent works In the show,
"Woman With Apparition" and
"The Red Forest." Both of which
have modernized a post-impres-
Staff photo by Mike Wixson
Joel Thomas' "In Excelius Deo" is center of show
sionlst style and made them
meaningful in our time.
The weakest painter in the
show is definitely Peter Spivak.
His washed out abstracts have
no better purpose than to go
well with someone's mauve sofa,
in some dated suburban living
room.
Other artists shown are Gary
and Robin Oldham, who have
taken a somewhat Dadaist
approach to the show with their
works, and Alan Sweat.
The Moinx artists take an
unusual approach with their
various media. There are paint­ings
on tin, wood panel, foam
core and a stretcher.
Peek and Thomas are definite­ly
the strongest, most innovative
artists in the show. Lovett is
also an excellent artist.
The others seem to show
promise, and all are creative
and moving toward their own
styles, not simply mimicking
others.
Peek has developed a definite
style that is evident in almost
all of his works. I have not seen
Thomas' works before this
show. However, it is evident
from these few works that he is
not afraid to paint what he
deems necessary.
The show is well displayed
and worth viewing. It is refresh­ing
to see Innovative artists at
work at home in Auburn.

This Isn't a movie about your

may run more in comparison to

way.
Movie Review
In Parenthood, Steve Martin
(The Jerk, Roxanne) takes the
' lead as Gil Buckman, a high-
' strung father obsessed with try­ing
to be the perfect parent. It
shows the nightmares and joy­ful
experiences of four families
in a comical atmosphere.

Plainsman files
Steve Martin strives to be ideal dad in Parenthood
Martin's kids are unusual. In
one scene, his four year old
son's head is stuck in a lawn
chair while he continues to walk
around smiling. Martin's broth­er-
in-law, Nathan (Rick
Moranis), Is trying to make a
genius out of his little girl. His
sister, Helen (Diane West), has
her hands full with a psychotic
daughter, who has a greasy-headed
leather jacket type
boyfriend who enjoys sex, drugs
and rock 'n* roll. Martin's other
brother, Larry (Tom Holtz), is an
compulsive gambler with em ille­gitimate
son named Cool.
All of these different family
types are arranged into a movie
filled with Martin's famous slap­stick
humor. It's one laugh after
another so please use caution
when viewing if you have a frac­tured
rib or a full bladder!

Peace and Love
The Pogues
Island Records
• • •
Peace and Love,' The Pogues'
latest release, may be the
breakthrough album for the
Anglo-Irish punk-folk band.
(Okay, so you come up with a
label.)
If so, that will be a pity. The
eight-man outfit has done much
better work on previous releas­es,
particularly the 1987
release. If I Should Fall Fro m
Grace with God.
. They continued to integrate
more of a brassy, jazz-oriented
feel into their songs, as they
began to experiment with on
Fall from Grace, but not as suc­cessfully.
Unfortunately, it only
works on one or two songs here
- most notably "Boat Train."
Many songs lack the pop vs.
folk balance that marked "The
Broad Majestic Shannon" or
"Thousands are Sailing" from
Fall from Grace or "Dirty Old
Town" and "A Pair of Brown
Eyes" from 1985's Rum,
Sodomy and the Lash.
"Cotton Fields," "Blue Heaven"
and "Lorelei" sound, for lack of
a less appropriate term, dumb.
They lack the two elements that
make the Pogues one of the
most entertaining bands today -
a hard-hitting acoustic sound,
like the Clancy Brothers on
speed and Shane McGowan's
gravel-and-kerosene voice
(Phillip Chevron handles the
vocals on these three cuts).
Without them, they sound like
any other pop band with a horn
section.
Music Review
"Lorelei," for example, could
easily be mistaken for a revived
Dave Clark Five. These will
probably be the cuts released
for MTV, however.
Even the lyrics of many of
their songs have been toned
down. No longer do they sing of
the themes that make Irish
music so much fun - getting
drunk, falling in love and beat­ing
the hell out of somebody,
preferably the English.
The only remotely political
song on Peace and Love is
Young Ned of the Hill." a tradi­tional-
sounding piece about a
17th century guerilla and ban­dit
who fought Cromwell's occu­pation
of Ireland - and that was
old news 300 years ago.
Oh, well, U2 quit the social
stuff when they made it, too.
Bono hasn't made any visible
try for sainthood lately, now
that he's eating well.
This is not to say the album
bites - far from it. "Misty Morn­ing,
Albert Bridge" is a gentle,
lilting tune, sentimental without
sounding maudlin; "Gartloney
Rats" is a rollicking ditty, 'White
City" is just plain fun ("And the
cardboard's going up, and
they're pulling down the pubs/
and it's just another bloody
rainy day"). The opening num­ber,
"Gridlock," is a dark jazz
instrumental that may surprise
some.
The biggest problem with
Peace and Love is it sounds like
they're trying too hard to get a
hit. It leaves a confused, mud­dled
sound to the album. If
indeed The Pogues do hit the
charts with this album (Time
had a full-page article on them
last week), it will merely help
prove what R.E.M.'s Green and
The Replacements' Don't Tell a
Soul have already hinted - that
groups must "dumb down" their
styles to hit it big. _N | a t t S m | th

Casualties of War
Rated R
Columbia Pictures
Carmike Cinemas
• • • *
The first casualty of war Is
Innocence.
Bodies are secondary, as
Eriksson (Michael J . Fox) finds
out in Brian DePalma's new
Vietnam film. Casualties of War.
The movie is based on a true
story, originally published to the
book Casualties of War by
Daniel Lang.
Eriksson is rescued from a
Viet Cong tunnel by his hard-nosed
sergeant, Meserve (Sean
Penn). Meserve, however, is no
angel of mercy.
While on a standard mission,
Eriksson faces moral dilemmas
as Sarge and three others kid­nap,
rape and eventually mur­der
a young Vietnamese girl
(Thuy Thu Le).
The mission completed, Eriks­son
returns to camp and recon­ciles
his conviction for justice
with his loyalty to the man who
saved his life.
Fox and Penn were well cast
in their roles. Fox moves beyond
Alex Keaton to deliver a more
mature performance. Penn por­trays
the loathsome sergeant
with his usual verve.
In supporting roles, Le creates
empathy in a character who
never speaks a word of English.
• John C. Reilly is also notable as
Cpl. Hatcher, a diabolical man
who takes pleasure from all of
the pain around him.
The movie itself begins as
most Vietnam films do, with a
flashback. It continues in the
typical mode by following the
System beats summer heat
By Klmberly Bacon
Staff Writer
Plainsman files
Michael J. Fox (I) and Don Harvey in Casualties
I t is 2 p.m. in the middle of
summer, and the scorching
sun beats down on the
Plains.
After what seems like an eter­nal
hike from the D zone, the
student steps through the doors
of Haley Center, instantly grati­fied
with a rush of cool, clean-smelling
air.
People seldom think about air
conditioning, but who could
Imagine life without it, especial­ly
in the deep South?
" "Many people take something
like air conditioning for granted,
until something goes wrong and
they don't have it," said Steve
Swinson, director of utilities at
the University. "Fortunately, the
system we have been developing
over the past five years is help­ing
us minimize problems - and
costs, too."
Seventy-five percent of the
campus is served by a chilled
water distribution system origi­nating
from two central plants
on campus, Swinson said.
Plant I is located behind the
textile engineering building and
serves the north half of campus.
Plant II is on Duncan Drive
across from Dudley Hall and
serves the south half of cam­pus.
"We have one of the finest
chilled water systems in the
country, certainly with the most
state of the art equipment,"
Swinson said. "But one of the
main reasons Auburn Universi­ty
is so proud of It is because of
how quickly we've been able to
set it up - and It is a relatively
large system."
The system basically operates
by chilling water and using it to
cool the air, Swinson said. The
water is cooled to 42 degrees in
both plants and travels through
a six-mile underground piping
system to each building.
Inside the building, the water
moves through a coll mecha­nism
much like a radiator and
cools the air, Swinson said.
Because It is a closed system,
the water travels back to the
plant, is rechilled to 42 degrees
and is recirculated.
The savings have been signifi­cant
since installation began in
1985, he said.
The University also saved so
much in gas costs, the gas com­pany
began to get suspicious,
Swinson said.
"They thought that we were
cheating them, and they sent
people out to investigate," he
said.
"Another added advantage to
the chilled water distribution
system Is that the present setup
is designed to meet the needs
of the University at least until
the year 2000."
After that, he said, they will
only need to add more equip-mentas
the campus grows.
new recruit In his first days of
combat while he is advised by
Jungle-wise superiors. The dra­matic
tension of the moments of
danger is destroyed since the
audience sees Eriksson alive
and well before the flashback.
The most effective story-line
follows the ordeal of the young
girl and Eriksson as he
attempts to help her.

These scenes are emotional
and captivating - audiences
don't want to watch the vio­lence,
but they can't look away.
However, the movie loses its
energy and fizzles into a pre­dictable

cone seemingly employs chorus­es
and harps in scenes that
deserve a more somber, sober­ing
tone.
The camera angles and visual
effects add poignancy and sus­pense
to the action. The scope
of the movie is refreshingly
small as compared to other
large-scale battle scenes in
recent Vietnam films.
Overall, the movie is thought-provoking
and moving. If a bit
shallow at points. The perfor­mances
are worth seeing, and it
is a story that needed to be told.

Red Smith:
sure proof
of humility
At The Plainsman's annual
banquet last spring, Jack Ven-able,
editor and publisher of
The Tallasee Tribune and
recently named to the Auburn
board of trustees, was the
guest speaker.
The Auburn graduate offered
one bit of advice for the aspir­ing
j o u r n a l i s t s among us:
read. Read constantly. Read
everything you can get your
hands on.
Venable, who writes a col­umn
for his paper, said his
ability to do so depended a
great deal on his reading.
Well, in my never-ending
genius, I have probably read
less in the last two and a half
months than in my entire life.
My columns were usually a
poor attempt at concealing
that.
I have been made painfully
aware of that fact now that I
have finally heeded Venable's
suggestion.
Red: A Biography of Red
Smith by Ira Berkow is the
first book I have made the time
to read this summer. The
description of the life of one of,
if not the greatest, sports writ­ers
ever is fantastic reading.
However, for someone who
plans to make writing an intri­cate
part of his future, the
book hits much closer to
home.
Berkow quotes Smith as say-
Fun and games end, practice
Tigers begin quest
for 3rd straight title
By Landon Thomas
Staff Writer
Those screaming voices com­ing
from football practice belong
to the Auburn quarterbacks and
offensive coaches, and they
echoed across the dew-covered
practice fields Monday,'shortly
after 6 a.m.
It was the first varsity prac­tice,
and it was the first of the
four-a-day practice sessions.
"The defensive coaches are
making this group out there
remain on the field until they go
through the 10 defensive
schemes right," Dye said. "If
anyone makes a mistake on
number four, they have to start
all over again until they get It
right."
And so the practice fields were
now only filled with the shouts
of young and Inexperienced
defensive players as they strived
toward perfection In calling out
the defensive signals.
After about 20 minutes of rep­etitions,
the defensive group got
it right, and Auburn's first prac­tice
session of 1989 came to a
close.
"It was, I thought, a good first
session," Dye said, "Offensively,
I could see that there was some
carry over from the spring.
'They're a little more experi­enced
than our defense is.
Defensively, we've got to work
through a lot of young players,
inexperience and repetitions
over assignments. It just takes
time.
"We didn't go in gradually; we
threw it in. We'll have it all (the
defensive schemes) in by Friday,
which means the next few days
are going to be important."
The '89 Tiger defense returns
only three starters from last
year's team. Two of those
returning starters, inside line­backer
Quentin Riggins and
outside linebacker Craig Ogle-tree,
are seniors. And because
of that, the two are being
required to provide a lot of lead­ership
among their teammates.
'You can't go out there and
yell and say get the assignment
out because that's when they
realty lose it," Riggins said. 'You
got to go out there and talk to
them, say do this and do that
and try and be on their side.
"And later on when they start
messing up, that's when you
start getting vocal. We got a
whole defense in, for the whole
season. That's why I think peo­ple
are slowly getting back into
it. We should have it down crisp
by the end of the week, when we
scrimmage."
Riggin's teammate Ogletree
expressed those same senti­ments
following the Tiger's first
sunrise practice session.
'You gotta take time with your
freshmen," Ogletree said. 'They
don't know what to expect when
they get out here for the first
begins
Fans by the

meet Tigers

Thousands of fans were treated to a tour of facilities
day, and they really don't have
their assignments packed down
as they should.
"My role is being a leader,
showing those guys what to do
and what to expect. This play
you do this, this play your right
steps. So, I'm looked at as a
leader. I wouldn't say coaching.
but I'm kind of helping out since
I am an experienced guy.
After three previous years of
early morning workouts, Ogle­tree
said he has accepted Dye's
hard work ethic.
"I look at it as a chance to
come out here and get better,"
he said. "It's kind of exciting."
Nearly 10,000 fans showed up
at the new football athletic com­plex
and practice fields Sunday
to brave the heat and have some
fun in the sun with the 1989
Auburn Tigers.
At 2 p.m., a host of media rep­resentatives
got pictures and
interviews with the players. At 3
p.m., it was the fans' turn.
Tiger fans covered the prac­tice
fields while waiting in lines
to meet, take pictures and
receive autographs from their
favorite Auburn players. And
when they were finished visiting
with the players, or just ready
to cool off, the fans were given a
tour of the new football athletic
complex.
"It's a great opportunity for
our players to mix and mingle
with fans," coach Pat Dye said.
"Particularly the kids, we get
them started early as far as lov­ing
Auburn is concerned. You
know that's were it all starts."
Junior tailback Stacy Danley
concurred with Dye.
"It's a great feeling havirtg
these kids look up to you," Dan-ley
said. "I think today gives you
a chance to give them some­thing
back."
But fan day isn't just for the
young Tiger fans, it's also for
the older Tiger fans who are ,

was be in newspapers."
Smith agonized about every
word of every column. He took
hours to write each column,
even after decades of perfect­ing
his craft. The best ever, yet
I • he knew if he rushed his work,
it simply would not be as good.
His story is both inspiring
and depressing for a young
writer.
Inspiring in that Smith

school newspaper at Notre
Dame, and his talent came
through hard work, something

It is depressing, however, in
that any up-and-coming writer

objectivity must feel a bit dis­couraged

The point of this column,
however, is not to discourage

Conversely, unless it is for
• financial survival, I think
everyone should aim for
becoming the best in his or her
profession.
However, humbleness is a
virtue, and those full-time col­lege

Gross-state jokes traditional
By Tommy Mitchell
Staff Writer
The Auburn-Alabama game
takes place all year, not on the
football field, but all over the
state.
When driving, bumper stick­ers
can be seen that show sup­port
for the favorite team.
T-shirts are a popular way to
show support, and at family
events, gathering of friends or
on the local radio stations, fans
match wits and try to outdo
each other through jokes or sar­casm.
Here are a few jokes that
might make an Auburn fan
grin:
Why did they put artificial
grass in Bryant-Denny Stadi­um?
To keep the cheerleaders
from grazing.
Two Alabama football players
were pulling a deer from the
woods by its antlers on a hunt­ing
trip. Another hunter passed
them and told them it would be
easier to pull the deer out of the
woods by its hind legs.
The Alabama players gave it a
try, but after a while one began
complaining to the other. 'The
deer is easier to pull out this
way, but we keep getting farther
from the car."
Did you know that an Alaba­ma
student in pharmacy failed
his exam because he could not
get the prescription bottle In the
typewriter?
Two Alabama students were
driving one day when the car
began experiencing some trou­ble.
After they got out and fixed
it one said to the other "while
we are out here let's check the
blinker. When I turn it on tell
me if it's working." Once the
blinker was turned on the other
said, "Now it's working, now it's
not, now it's working, now it's
not, now it's working, now it's
not."
Did you hear about the Alaba­ma
student who took a job as
an elevator operator? He kept
getting lost.
Before taking a plane ride for
the first time, an Alabama stu­dent
was told that chewing gum
would keep his ears from pop­ping.
After the ride, he was
asked if the chewing gum
helped his ears. He said, "It
worked fine, but how do I get it
out of my ears?"
Here are some rule changes to
ensure that the Crimson Tide
will have no unfair advantages
when playing Auburn:
1. Auburn may no longer
tackle, since this has caused
fumbles in past games which
led to Alabama not being able to
score.
2. Auburn may no longer
recover fumbles, since it causes
Alabama fans and players to
suffer from "itsmineitis," where
they don't get their way and

' Have confidence in your
ability, but prove it through
your work. I do not claim to
,have always lived by that, but
it is a plateau we should all
aim for.
• David Hardee is sports editor
of The Plainsman.
The Auburn cross country
teams will soon begin training
for the upcoming season, which
includes hosting the 1989 SEC
Cross Country Championships.
The men's and women's
teams return with most of their
runners from last year In addi­tion
to new recruits. Head coach
Kelly Sullivan discusses the
prospects for the season.
Ninth in a series
Q: How many runners did
you lose from the teams last
year?
A We graduated only one guy,
and off the girls team, we lost a
couple of kids because of health
problems. The majority of both
our men's and women's teams
are back.
Q: How many new faces are
there this year?
A* Not Including the walk-ons,
we have signed four guys
(Andrew Butler, Neal Butler,
John Horkheimer and Jason
Fiscus), and we signed three
girls (Lynn Ziegler, Monlka
Frisch and Ann Faulkner).
Q: How many walk-one do
you average per year?
A We have anywhere between
five and a dozen every year.
Q: Which runners look the
strongest overall this year?
A: We have a number of
seniors. On the men's side we
have Kevin Pumphrey, Brett
Roby and Rob Shoaf are our
three seniors that we're really
counting on. And there's Scott
Strand who Is a junior that is
Included with the older kids.
The rest of the team is pretty
much freshmen and sopho­mores.
On the girl's side, we have
seniors in Grace Labelle, Rachel
Hopkins, Lee Ann Case and
Sandra Wilson and we'll expect
a lot from them. And our top
runner Is Kelly McDonell who
will be a Junior this year. She's
our top kid.
Q: How do the teams look
overall?
A: Kentucky won the NCAA
championship last year on the
women's side, and they
returned seven of their top eight
runners so they're awful strong.
Alabama has a really good
group. They predominately
recruit foreigners. Then in the
rest of the conference, Florida,
us and Tennessee are going to
be battling for the third spot
right now on the women's side.
'We've always been
pretty much in the
top three in the SEC
- Kelly Sullivan
On the men's side, Ten­nessee's
men were third in the
NCAA last year, and they've got
six really good kids. They've got
to be by far the favorites. And
Kentucky won the conference
last year and were eighth in the
NCAA, and they return five of
their top eight. Along with them
and us, Alabama, LSU and
Florida are awful strong.
Q: How has the program
developed through the years?
A Before I got here, and since
I've been here, we've always
been pretty much in the top
three in the SEC. In the '80s,
we've been first, second or third,
six of the eight years.
The women's program is fairly
new. This staff has only had the
women's program for two years,
and we've been no higher than
fourth, but no lower than sixth.
Maybe that will change this
year.
Q: What is the t r a i n i ng
schedule like?
A Sept. 6 is when we actually
start training. We will have a
cross country camp Sept. 10,
11, 12 and 13. Our first meet is
Sept. 16.
Q: Is there a local course?
A We're hosting the SEC meet'
this year, so we're using Indian
Pines Golf Course as our home
course. We have two meets here
this year - one for the pre-SEC
meet which is going to be Oct.
2, and then the conference
meets here on Oct. 30.
Q: Does the golf course
work out well?
A: We never get to use it. The
only time they let us use it is
when we host the conference.
Plainsman files
Sullivan
But, it's a great course and it's a
great facility so we're real excit­ed
about using it.
Q: Where do you train?
A: Everywhere. We train on
hills on Donahue. We use the
forest out at Tuskegee, the
intramural field. Just wherever
we can go.

Golf widows cope while boyfriends putt
By Shawn Mathis
Staff Writer
Golf Is a four-letter word.
Girlfriends of "golfaholics" are
speaking out about the hobby's
obsessive tendencies.
"My boyfriend Ron goes to
play golf about every day, even
if it's just to hit at the driving
range," said Becca Tedder, a
sophomore at Auburn. "He
thinks he has to get in 'x'
amount of hours a day to keep
his quota."
Tedder, who calls herself a
"golf widow," said that she finds
herself praying for rain most
mornings.
'They (boyfriends) try to make
you think you're having fun
when you go to play with them.
Ron will say to me, 'Becca,
you're getting so much sun out
here,' or 'Becca, you can wash
my golf balls or drive the cart.'"
But Tedder points out that
there's really no way to be sup­portive
of the golf player. All it
is, she said, is grass and a hole,
and you can't even talk when
you're on the course.
"It just takes so much time,"
she said. "They have to practice
two hours before they even play.
So what can we possibly do to
get even? What could we possi­bly
do to take that much time?"
Beverly Baumann is another
golf widow. She said that she
feels golf is addictive and obses­sive.
'Well, I would say that buying
glow-in-the-dark golf balls to
play at night is obsessive.
"Down here (in Auburn)", she
said, "golf never stops, because
you can play all year long. Base­ball
stops, so does football...but
golf never stops."
Addictive it is, according to
Indian Pines Golf Manager
Clark Chapman.
'What can we pos­sibly
do to get
even?'
- Becca Tedder
"It's like a bug that gets you,"
he said, "you've got to play all
the time."
But golf players are patient,
Chapman said. Most of the stu­dent
players are good about get­ting
a tee time, but those who
don't have one will sit and wait
and wait.
Golf does take a lot of time,
and this is why some golf wid­ows
get their feathers ruffled.
"He told me to have dinner
ready at six," said Laura Cox,
another golfer's girlfriend. "And
he had the nerve to call me at
seven to tell me that he was
heading around the back nine!"
In fact. Chapman said that
some boyfriends find it easier to
take along their girlfriends when
they play than to get in trouble
for coming home late.
"Yeah," he said, "we always
have girlfriends following along."
Baumann points out that golf,
along with being time consum­ing,
is also quite expensive.
'You can spend a lot of money
in one game when you pay for a
cart and range balls," she said.
"Sometimes my boyfriend
spends $20 in one game.
"Plus, do you know how much
three balls cost in a tournament
- $5."
It seems that some people find
golf to be too expensive and too
time consuming, but golfers
argue that it is a great way to
exercise.
Thad Foret. Auburn's golf
sports information contact, said
that he likes golf because it
gives him a chance to be out­side.
"If I could play as much as I
wanted," he said, "I would play
at least nine holes each day and
at least 18 holes each day dur­ing
the weekend."
Foret admits that he's seen
cases of addiction. He said it
may be because "it feels so good
to smack that ball."
"It sounds odd getting so
much enjoyment out of hitting a
ball with a stick," he said.

Foret said he started playing
when he was 15.
"I've never had a lesson," he
said, "and it shows."
Foret claims there's exercise
involved. Tedder said she dis­agrees.
"There's no exercise in golf,
except when you walk," she
said. "But driving the cart is the
only fun part about the game as
far as I'm concerned."
Baumann said she knows why
men like to play golf so much.
"They love to drive the cart,"
she said, "and their daddies
wouldn't let them drive it when
they were little."
Tedder and Baumann said
that together they had been
pondering the possibility of cre­ating
a support group for other
golf widows. Its name - Girl­friends
Against Golf, or GAG.
But, they said they realized
that this may not be the best
solution to their animosity for
golf. So what is the solution?
"Well, my boyfriend is bringing
me his old set of golf clubs,"
Baumann said, "so we'll be able
to play together."

1989-90 season
to see new rules
By Mary Orndorff
Staff Writer
Three experimental rule
changes have been Instituted
for the upcoming basketball
season in the Southeastern
and Big East conferences.
Coach Tommy Joe Eagles
said he predicts better games
as a result.
Six personal fouls are now
allowed instead of five, three
free throws are awarded for a
foul on a three-point goal and
10-second backcourt viola­tions
will be caught by the ref­erees
watching the 45-second
shot clock
The rules are not in effect for
postseason play and non-con­ference
games, unless both
coaches agree on it.
'Today, the game is played
at a faster pace with bigger,
stronger people," Eagles said.
"The six-foul rule will help
keep big men in the game
longer, and the fans pay to see
these big men play.
"Now with six fouls, a team
isn't so severely penalized if an
official really doesn't have a
clear view of a play. We've
allowed more margin for error."
Derrick Dennison, the
Tiger's senior guard said he
agrees with the six-foul rule.
"Guys will play longer and
play more aggressively and
probably make the game more
exciting," Dennison said.
He said he is happy with the
NCAA's timing on this rule,
especially for his last season.
If it's permanently adopted,
Eagles said he predicts that
this rule will have enough
influence to affect coaches'
scheduling philosophies.
The rule allowing three free
throws was adopted to protect
good perimeter shooters.
Eagles said.
"This rule change will really
force coaches to consider how
they're going to defend great
outside shooters," Eagles said.
"The only negative aspect of
the rule is that It might slow
the game down some."
Three free throws will
increase point production, and
the fans pay to see offense, he
said.
Dennison disagrees with
three free throws because the
three-pointer is a bonus shot
itself and shouldn't be added
with another bonus foul shot,
he said.
After the NCAA approved the
changes, coaches from both
leagues voted to adopt them
last week.
"I'm delighted our league has
decided to take a closer look at
the game," Eagles said. "All
three of the new rules changes
will continue to make the
greatest game played on the
face of this earth even better."

Graduate assistants balance two lives
By Mary Spearman
Staff Writer
Coaches and assistant coach­es
are always in the news, but
rarely does one hear of the grad­uate
assistant.
Graduate assistants are stu­dents
who learn the techniques
of coaching, while earning their
graduate degree.
They are the backbone of the
coaching staff, always working
behind the scenes on various
jobs from office work to the role
of disciplinarian.
'We work for all the coaches
and do just whatever needs to
be done," said Tim Jackson, a
football graduate assistant.
Some of their jobs include
working with individual coach­es,
coaching the scout team,
handling discipline, film swaps
and game preparation.
The only requirement to be a
graduate assistant is accep­tance
to graduate school.
However, the coaches also
look at a person's coaching or
playing experience, background
and whether they think a per­son
can handle working with
the players, Jackson said.
Graduate assistants are on
scholarship. The scholarship
covers tuition, books and some
living expenses.
"We have a chance to make
some extra money working
camps during the summer,"
said Steve Campbell, another
football graduate student.
The NCAA limits each school
to five graduate assistant coach­es
for football, according to
defensive coordinator Wayne
Hall.
"Each graduate assistant can
be a graduate assistant coach at
one school for two years," Hall
said.
Auburn currently has four

times, when one has to make
time for schoolwork and athlet­ics.
"It's hard," he said. "It's defi­nitely
demanding
—"It is rough at times, but we
couldn't ask to be anywhere
else. This is a top-notch pro­gram
and we're lucky to be
here."
Davis said his biggest problem
'It is rough at times, but we couldn't
ask to be anywhere else.... we're
lucky to be here.'

coaches. All four are in their
second year of the program.
According to graduate assis­tant
Tim Beckman, it is Impor­tant
to be a graduate assistant
if a person is interested In
coaching on the collegiate level.
Graduate assistant Wayne
Davis said he agrees with Beck­man.
"I talked with Coach (Larry)
Blakeney, and he said that
being a graduate assistant was
really the only way to get into
coaching nowadays," Davis said.
Beckman sajd being a gradu-is
making up the hours he can't
take in the fall.
'You have to overload yourself
because we never stop doing
things for football," Davis said.
"It makes it hard
