A Department of Corrections
prisoner attacked and attempted
to rape a 17-year-old
Auburn student Monday. Walter
Gene Childs, 27, was on a
three-day furlough from the
Montgomery Work Release
Center.
The attempted rape occurred
in the victim's downtown
apartment at approximately
10:15 a.m., according
to Auburn Police. The victim
was treated and released from
East Alabama Medical Center
for injuries sustained during
the attack Police policy prevents
a rape victim's name
from being released.
State
Two former Charlie Grad-dick
campaign aides pleaded
guilty to charges, Monday in
Birmingham, of using state
property for political reasons.
Andy Yeomans and Don
Bekurs, who worked for the
former attorney general's 1986
Democratic gubernatorial
campaign, admitted to using
state electronic surveillance
equipment to keep tabs on
Graddick's opponent, then-Lt
Gov. Bill Baxley.
Graddick has denied any
knowledge of the bugging incidents,
but Yeomans said Monday
that Graddick knew and
approved of the surveillance.

The B-2 Bomber flew its first
successful test flight on Tuesday,
18 months behind schedule.
The pilots, however, had
high praise for the airplane,
noting its handling in particular.
The plane is the most
expensive ever built in history,
costing $500 million each. The
plane is facing an uphill battle
in Congress howevei, with
$300 million already cut from
its budget.
World
The first formal ties between
the Vatican and the Soviet
bloc were opened on Monday,
when the Roman Catholic
Church began full diplomatic
relations with Poland.
The move comes at a time
when Poland is moving toward
democracy and greater openness
with the West. Pope John
Paul II, who instituted the
move, is Polish.
Poland broke ties with the
Catholic Church in 1945 when
a communist government
came into power. Poland
granted legal recognition to
the Catholic Church again
approximately two months
ago.

Professor faces plagiarism allegations
By Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
The allegation of plagiarism
against history Professor James
McDonough as a result of his
latest book. War So Terrible, will
not be pursued further by the
University, Dean of Liberal Arts
Mary Richards said Tuesday.
The accusations were made
by Richard McMurry of North
Carolina State University, who
wrote A Reader's Guide to the
Atlanta Campaign. The allegations
were published in a review
of McDonough's book in "The
Journal of Southern History."
Job standard
study to start
next section
By Larisa Lambert
Assistant Copy Editor
Auburn University Personnel
Services has completed the first
phase of a personnel management
project and has completed
preparation for the second
phase, which begins in October.
The project, which involves
about 3,000 University employees,
is designed to educate people
about their Job responsibilities
and how they are expected
to perform them, said Susan
Robertson, assistant director of
University Personnel Services,
on Monday.
Personnel Services began the
project by having employees fill
out forms describing their Job
responsibilities. The forms were
then approved by their supervisors
before being returned to
Personnel Services for evaluation,
Robertson said.
The project began in the
spring of 1988, and employees
will begin to see its first tangible
effects in October. Employees
can expect to find out what, if
any, changes will be made by
about the first of October,
Robertson said.
Pay changes will not become
evident until Oct 31, she said,
because most University employees
are paid only once a
month.
See STUDY, page 15
"The history department
formed a committee to investigate
the allegations, and that
committee reported to me that,
although there were some parallels
(between the two books),
there was not sufficient evidence
to warrant any action,"
Richards said.
The history department has
referred the matter to the American
Historical Association's
Standards Committee for further
review, according to
Richards.
"Referring it to that committee
is as much for his (McDonough)
benefit as for ours," she said.
If the American Historical
Society feels that McDonough is
guilty of plagiarism, Richards
said, the history department will
then make recommendations to
her about further investigation.
"Dr. McDonough has published
many works before, and
he was hired based on an outstanding
reputation," she said.
James Jones, the co-author of
the book and a professor at
Florida State University, said
that his university was fully
aware of the allegations, but
had not taken any action to
investigate the matter since the
allegations were made against
the portions of the book which
were McDonough's rather than
his own.
"I think that it Is an extremely
unfortunate situation, but I
really can't comment because
I'm not fully aware of the situation
up there," Jones said.
McDonough could not be
reached for comment, but in a
written response to the review
he attributed part of the problem
to the common sources
which most historians use in
their writing. He admitting that
carelessness may have played a
part.
"The other problem is one
which I must frankly admit,"
McDonough's statement read.
"Having decided to use neither
footnotes nor endnotes, I
became casual in note taking.
'1 did make notes on occasion
in which I recorded the original
source, but omitted the secondary
source, thinking that as
part of a larger attribution I had
recorded it. Months, or in some
cases years later, when I began
to write, I did not remember
that I had used the secondary
source.
"...I regret very much that
some of the citations resulted
from careless and sloppy note
taking."
Council approves
funding resolution
By Matt Smith
News Editor
Night shift Staff photo by Roger Singletary
Light from construction work at Ralph Brown Draughon Library
brightens the night sky on College Street. The $13 million library
expansion is expected to be complefe in late November.
Auburn City Council passed a
resolution Tuesday night committing
its share of the cost of
any proposed expansion of the
University-operated Auburn-
Opelika Airport.
The resolution comes at a
time when the Council has been
unable to reach a consensus
with the City of Opelika, which
plans to join Auburn and the
Federal Aviation Administration
in sharing the $8 million cost of
the expansion proposal. The
project would extend the runway
from its current 4,000-foot
length to about 5,000 feet
In Introducing the resolution.
Mayor J a n Dempsey called the
roughly $500,000 the city was
pledging "a reasonably minimal
investment," which Opelika
would be expected to match.
The remaining funds - 90 percent
of the total, according to
City Manger Doug Watson - will
come from the FAA.
"So we are hopeful that in the
final analysis, they (Opelika) will
choose to act on this particular
extension option, and we should
wait and see if that will happen
in the foreseeable future,"
Dempsey said.
Watson said he didn't think
the resolution would prompt
Opellka's Council to move any
faster, however.
"I think they're probably on
their own time schedule," he
said. "I think they'll make their
own decision in the process
they're following."
Dempsey said the expansion
would allow the FAA to install
an instrument landing system
at the airport, which would
allow aircraft to be insured on
landing. Private dorm to be built across from campus
By Melissa Denney
Staff Writer
A site plan has been approved
for a five-story private residence
hall to be built at the southeast
corner of South College Street
and East Thach Avenue, according
to Parrlsh Taylor of
Allen & O'Hara Incorporated.
The Memphis, Tenn., real
estate development and management
firm has 18 such sites
across the country. These
include sites at University of
South Florida, Florida State
University and University of
North Carolina, Taylor said.
The facility will contain food
services, adequate parking and
special social programs for the
residents, Taylor said.
In addition to these services,
each room.shared by two people,
will have a private bath,
according to Taylor.
The prices will be $4,300 for
nine months," he said.
This will include three meals
a day, said Taylor.
"We house 13,000 students
throughout the nation in traditional
resident-style settings,"
Taylor said. "And we have been
in business for 25 years."
Men and women both live in
the dormitories the company
currently owns and manages,
Taylor said, and he expects
Auburn will be the same.

Neighbors to protest plans
Spectrum, Hardees approved for Wire Road site
By Matt Smith Proposed Pinetucket development
News Editor
Despite the objections of an
adjacent property owner, the
Auburn Planning Commission
unanimously approved site
plans last Thursday for a Hardees
restaurant and a Spectrum
convenience store at the corner
of Shug Jordan Parkway and
Wire Road.
Dixon Norman of 147 Wire
Road objected to the development
on what he called "aesthetic
grounds." Norman and
his wife own "Pinetucket," an
antebellum home next to the
proposed commercial site.
The home was placed on the
state's Register of Landmarks
and Heritage in 1977, and Norman
said the proposed development
would detract from the
property's historic value.
"We are very interested in the
fact that this not turn into a
corridor like the four-lane highway
between Auburn and Opelika
that looks like a sign jungle,
a neon jungle," Norman said.
"This is a very old property, and
I don't think this group is
attuned to historic considerations."
Norman presented a five-page
list of suggestions to the
Planning Commission to minimize
his objections. He said the
property has been in his wife's
family since it was built in the
1840s.
The site developer, Montgomery-
based Helms-Roark
Incorporated, received Commission
approval June 8 to go
ahead with the proposal. Charlie
Trotman, the Helms-Roark
representative in charge of the
project, said July 13 that the
site plan already includes many
of the items Norman presented
to the Commission.
'We always try to accomodate
adjoining landowners, as long
as their objections are reasonable,"
Trotman said. 'We are an
adjoining landowner to Mr. Norman
as well, and we have certain
concerns that were not
really brought up."
Pinetucket is on a hill about
25 feet above the planned businesses
and operates on a septic
tank. His concern would be
runoff from the tank, Trotman
said.
Among Norman's proposals
were the construction of "an

Auburn's department of
industrial engineering has been
selected by the U.S. Army as an

to Robert Bulfin, an associate
professor of industrial engineering.
"The Army has recognized
Auburn (University) as an approved
program to recommend
civilian employees who are competitively
selected. Those selected
for operations research
choose the institution they go
to," Bulfin said.
The University was one of 10
institutions chosen for the program.

its strong standing with the
Army, he said.
"The visibility of being chosen
will hopefully help to lead to
other research-type proposals,"
Bulfin said.
"Operations research is essentially
concerned with allocating
scarce resources in the best
possible way," he said. 'The advantages
of operations research
is that it saves money and
time."
Operations research originated
during World War II. The
scarcity of radar equipment
required that it be placed in the
most efficient locations.
Since World War II, operations
research has not been limited to
military use. It can also be
found in such civilian fields as
the business world, Bulfin said.

Thirty Alabama school teachers
returned to the classroom
this summer to participate in a
special program that will help
stimulate and strengthen the
teaching of government In
Alabama high schools, said
Program Director Andrew M.
Weaver, professor and head of
the department of curriculum
and teaching.
Gov. Guy Hunt, Secretary of
State Perry Hand and U.S. Rep.
Glen Browder are among some
of the government officials that
will speak during the two-week
program, which runs from July
17-28, Weaver said.
Auburn history and political
science faculty will also speak
during the session, he said.
Participants will travel to the
Capitol in Montgomery on Wednesday,
July, 19 to hear Hunt,
Hand and a legislator speak and
will visit the state Supreme
Court, Weaver said.
Browder will speak on Friday,
J u l y 21 at Auburn on "The
Development and Functioning
of the Executive and Judicial
Branches of Government," he
said.
The teachers will also travel to
Atlanta on July 26, Weaver said,
for a tour of the Jimmy Carter
Library.
The program, sponsored by
the College of Education, is in
its second year, and is funded
through a grant from the Commission
on the Bicentennial of
the U.S. Constitution, Weaver
said.
The purpose of the program
is to bring the teachers up to
date on the Constitution, and
promote a better understanding

of it, and the executive and judicial
branches of government,"
he said.
Esther Williams, a teacher at
Sanford Middle School in Beauregard,
said, "I love for people to
tell me what I don't know."
"Anytime you understand
something better it's easier to
teach it to someone else," she
said. 'Teaching can be draining,
and when someone's teaching
me it gives me some enthusiasm
to start back up the year."
The program is divided into
two parts each day. In the
mornings, Weaver said, the
teachers return to the classroom
for lectures on the Constitution.
"The program will be a"
refresher course for the teachers."
he said, "but they will"
learn new material as well."
During the afternoon, participants
are involved in instructional
workshops.
"They develop teaching
episodes on the Constitution'
and plan a Constitution
Resource Center to be set up at
their school," he said.

; The work being done by the
Teaching Effectiveness Commit-ttee
is nearing completion and
'might be ready for final approval

Vice president for Academic
Affairs said Tuesday.
"The president's office was

given a report on programs and
policies Feb. 3," Henry said.
"Then a statistical report was
sent in May, and now the committee
is working on the final
phase, the instrument. The
President was very responsive to
this."
Dr. William Holley took over
as chairman of this ad hoc committee
one year after the need
for it developed. The committee
liras given two years to complete
its work on teaching effectiveness
and was asked to report on
iis progress once a year, Henry
Said.
"I was really impressed by the
report (on programs and policies)
sent to the president," he
said.
The Teaching Effectiveness
Committee would probably
replace the old system of teacher
evaluations done by the students.
Henry said, as well as
implement their idea for evaluations
to be done by other faculty
members in the respective
teacher's department.
"Individual departments have
been doing some things all
along, but we want to make this
University-wide," said Henry.
"We want to have a commonality."
One of the proposed steps of
the project' is a class that will
teach graduate assistants more
effective teaching methods.
"In this particular office wo
have Dr. Blackburn, the associate
director for Academic
Affairs, working on the proposed
class for graduate teaching
assistants," Henry said,
"and we should have it on the
course schedule by winter quarter."
The class is part of one of the
long range goals for the University,
he said, which is to
increase the graduate student
population at Auburn from 10
percent to 20 percent.

family have established an
endowment that will maintain
scholarships and graduate student
fellowships in the department
of chemistry.
Her husband. Dr. Samuel
Nichols, was a University professor
of chemistry for 30 years
and died in 1982.
"We want everyone to know
how much the department
appreciates this," said Dr.
Howard Hargis chemistry
department head. "This is really
a nice thing that Mrs. Nichols
did to honor her husband."
Mrs. Nichols decided to make
the contribution in the spring,
and it was only a short time
before the Auburn University
Foundation drew up the document
for her approval, Hargis
said.
"The endowment," he said,
"will be called The Samuel H.
Nichols Jr. Scholarship Fund.'
The department has several
options as to how the earnings
from the invested principal
could be distributed, according
to Hargis.
"What we want to do is offer
graduate student assistance in
the summer," Hargis said,
"since graduate students really
need help in the summer.
"Chemistry majors are the
only ones who may apply and
recipients will be decided by a
committee."
The amount of the initial
endowment was not released to
the public by Mrs. Nichols or
the president's office, Hargis
said.
"We hope to award our first
scholarships by summer of
1990," Hargis said.
The agreement states that the
fund can also be used for the
general enhancement of the
department of chemistry, as
determined by the department
chairman, Hargis said.
"But that would only be if
something came up," he said,
"as in the case of an emergency
need."

Editor's note: To quote the Beatles, "It was 20 years ago today..."
that Neil Armstrong and Buz Aldrin moonwalked into history.
Auburn was a vital part of that "one giant leap for mankind," just
as the University continues to be an integral part of the development
of man's journey into space. Here are excerpts from stories
originally published In the July 25, 1969, issue of The Plainsman

Auburn engineers aid!
Apollo space program!
By Dave Thornbury
1969 Staff Writer
July 20, 1969 - man on the
moon.
On this day hard work and
tireless effort of thousands of
Americans culminated in what
many call "man's greatest
achievement."
Among those contributors
are members of the Auburn
electrical engineering department.
During the past decade,
Auburn's electrical engineers
have contributed a great deal
to space exploration success.
Dr. Martial Honnel said that
this success is of "great worth
to Auburn," as it is a fulfillment
of Auburn's "mission oriented
research."
According to Dr. Honnel, the
electrical engineering department
has constructed several
special television transmitters
that have been used in
research resulting in the Apollo
shots.
It was used to record the i
Saturn I's flight into orbit.
That transmitter was a 10-
pound gold-plated instrument,
designed and built entirely at
Auburn by electrical engineer-^
ing personnel. Work was head- I
ed by Professor R. D. Spann, '
former head of the EE depart- 1
ment and Dr. Honnel, techni"
cal director.
i
Several other professors are'
working on space-connected
projects. Professor Russel has
been working under contract
for the Huntsville Space Flight
Center. He has worked on the i
theory of the Lunar Module
control systems.
Four professors and 12
graduate students worked on *
the development of the Analyt- r
ical Platform Simulation Guidance
system. According to Professor
Lowery of electrical
engineering, this system is,
supposed to replace the mas-,
sive Gibbs Guidance system
now used on the Apollo Space
Flights. f

One giant leap for mankind
By Richard McLean
1969 Columnist '
As three-fourths of a billion
; people watched via live
; television last Saturday night,
' a s t r o n a u t Neal Armstrong
stepped down from the last
rung of the lunar module's
ladder and placed his foot on
the first rung of a new ladder in
space.
There are no words left to
describe the events of the past
two weeks. Every phrase has
been used; every superlative
has been spoken. Armstrong
and Aldrin have accomplished
in the last two weeks what man
has dreamed of for centuries.
They have actually traveled to
and walked on a planet other
than their own.
t What the future holds for
manned space exploration, no
one can tell. It has been only a
scant 66 years since man first
freed himself from the confines
of earth to the present time
when commercial jet flight is
commonplace. If manned space
activity progresses at a
comparable rate, our generation
may see the further exploration
of our galaxy, the colonization of
other planets, and - incredibly -
the discovery of other intelligent
life forms in our universe.
Long before Apollo 11 's "epic
journey," the nations of Earth
began a period of space cooperation,
agreeing that the
moon should not be claimed by
the nation reaching it first, and
that it should never be used for
military purposes. During the
flight, the United States and
Russia displayed an amiability
unprecedented in modern
times. For two hours and 13
minutes, the whole world sat on
the edge of its seat as America's
astronauts walked on the moon.
As one CBS reporter put it:
"Perhaps there has never been a
time when all the peoples of the
world have been so one in
spirit."
It is ironic then that, in the
midst of this unparalleled
mutual support for our three
brave men in space, there are
still places on the green earth
where triumph is measured in
the number of enemy soldiers
killed, and where courage is
calculated in hand grenades
thrown into crowded market
places.
Last Sunday's moon landing
had far-reaching implications
for those of us who followed the
event so closely on television.
For a moment, we dwelt on a
planet (population: 2) free of
wars and distrust and
dissention. We saw the inhabitants
working together for the
benefit of mankind. We saw a
landscape untouched by litter
or chemical sludge and a lunar
horizon undefiled by factory
smoke.
Just as air travel has changed
in the last 66 years, man must
undergo a metamorphosis of his
own. If he cannot learn to live
on his own planet before he
attempts to colonize others, his
new-found freedom may spawn
the same kind of monster as
that which Orville Wright's box-kite
fostered in the ICBM.
The manned space program
has frequently come under fire
from those who think the cost of
the program could be better
spent here on Earth. If the
Apollo can teach man to live
together in peace - and there is
no reason to believe he cannot -
then it will be worth every
penny of the cost.
Astronaut
Williams
\ gave life
. for mission
By Lyn Scarbrough
1969 News Editor
Soon after Clifton C. Williams
Jr. was selected as a member of
the third group of United States
astronauts in 1963, he was
named to the backup crew for
Gemini 10 which was launched
the following summer. Later he
was mentioned as a possible
member of the first crew to land
on the moon - perhaps to take
the step into history which Neal
Armstrong took only five days
ago.
He said that "War Eagle,"
could well have been his first
words if he were to be the first
on the lunar surface. A 1954
Auburn graduate in mechanical
engineering, he approached his
job with obvious enthusiasm

Fish
Indonesia
gets Auburn
assistance
By Tim Bain
Staff Writer
A three-year, $2.4 million project
designed to assist Indonesia
in developing better methods for
managing Its fisheries resources
is running smoothly after one
year, according to Bryan Duncan,
professor of fisheries at the
University.
'We're assisting them to develop
their capacity to make available
to their people more fish
products," Duncan said.
The project is funded by the
U.S. Agency for International
Development. Professor H. Rudy
Schmittou is in Indonesia
directing the project, Duncan
said.
The project works with government
and university research
groups at sites throughout
Indonesia, he said.
The object is "to allow these
Institutions to do their own
research and policy implementation,"
Duncan said, "and to
allow Indonesia to reduce its
dependence on outside resources."
The contract provides money
for technical assistance, research,
minor construction projects,
scholarships and training
programs. In addition competitive
grants can be applied for by
the Indonesian research groups,
he said.
Nine U.S. specialists, seven
from Auburn, will visit the
research sites and assist with
the project.
"The project generates experience
for the faculty that is
reflected in their teaching,"
Duncan said. "We learn more
about the development process."
The seven specialists from
Auburn are John Grover,1
Leonard Lovshin, Ronald Phelps
and Claude Boyd, all professors
in the fisheries department,
Conner Bailey, associate professor
of agricultural economics
and rural sociology and retired
faculty members Malcolm Johnson
and Jack Snow.
I MITE bringing minority engineers to campus
By Tawanda Shaw
Staff Writer
The Minority Introduction to
Engineering (MITE) program,
returns to campus this summer
with three sessions, offering 75
minority high school students a
look at the College of Engineering
and college life, according to
Program Coordinator Rod Jenkins,
an associate civil engineering
professor.
The MITE program, designed
to bring rising seniors to
Auburn for a week-long look at
the college, is in its 12th year,
Jenkins said .
He said that he would like to
see each of the MITE participants
come to Auburn and
enter the engineering field. But
says that's not the primary purpose
of the program, he said.
"The first purpose is to
encourage them (the participants)
to go to college," he said.
'We really hit them hard about
going to a college, more than we
do about coming to Auburn."
Since the program began,
more than 400 students have
participated, he said.
"About 90 percent of the students
attend college," Jenkins
said. "About half of the students
attend Auburn and about one-third
enroll in the College of
Engineering.''
The program involves classroom
experience in the mornings,
where the students are
introduced to calculus and computer
science, he said. The
afternoons are spent touring the
different departments in the
College of Engineering.
The students also visit Ampex
and Diversified Products plants
during the week and spend Friday
afternoon learning about
admissions procedures.
Dawn Stephens of Decatur,
Ga., is a participant who wants
to study biomedical engineering.
She said she would encourage
any people interested in math
and science or who think they
may have an interest in them to
try to attend.
"I haven't had calculus yet,
j u s t trigonometry and being
faced with engineering math
blew me away," she said.
The program offered her an
incentive to do well, especially
in calculus, when she returns to
school, Stephens said.
The first session was July 9-
15, and the two remaining sessions
are July 16-22 and July
23-29. Jenkins said. Participants
are chosen on the basis of
their PSAT scores and high
school GPAs.
The MITE program draws participants
primarily from Alabama,
but students from Georgia.
Mississippi and Florida also
attend, he said.
MITE participant Cornell
Smith of Fairhope, Ala., said the
program was interesting and
offered him a chance to see the
different areas of engineering
and the work involved.
"I really like math and enjoyed
coming," he said, "and when I
go back to school I'm going to
tell everyone In the junior class
to try for MITE.*' Art by Lee Ann Flynn

Don't bury
Surrealism
with Dali
! It has been a few months
since Salvador Dali was placed
In a wooden box and the last
coffin nail driven home on surrealism.
i Or was it? Surrealism is
more than a movement in
painting; it is a way of life.
! I realize that a form of commercialized
surrealism has
surfaced in the past few years,
including Stephen Sprouse
prints, television commercials,
videos by the Church and in
many other realms of the consumer
world.
i It has even Invaded our
speech. If we hear one more
person say, "Hey man, like,
that is so surreal," should we
pommel him into subconsciousness?
* The father of surrealism is a
IJtle generally given to Andre
§reton. The year was 1924,
when he published the Store -
a! Manifesto .
\ The main group was in
France. It consisted of Dali,
Breton, Max Ernst, Pierre Unik
and six other surrealists.
'> Politics is a major focus of
Surrealism. The founders held
extremely libertarian values.
They hated everyone who the
world thought made any contribution.
3 To the surrealist, Albert
Camus was a humanist liberal
whom they slammed with
vjgor. Leo Tolstoi, Victor Hugo
and Jean Cocteau all were
attacked venomously.
-They also disliked awards
and commercialized payment
for their works.
The group painted, wrote
and made films. Almost none
of its books have been translated
into an Anglicized version
even though it has been more
than 70 years.
The group began to fall apart
in 1938 when Dali painted
Lenin naked and distorted.
Breton called a mock "court"
in which the group was to
decide what to do to Dali.
Dali sat silently through the
whole event and turned it into
a; surrealistic farce by sitting
through the entire court with a
thermometer in his mouth.
This is probably the reason
he was thrown out of the
group. After that, many members
of the group split apart,
and some came to the United
States. However, it did not
officially disband until 1968,
the year the Fourth Canto was
published declaring the end of
the group.
Today there are several artists,
mostly writers and filmmakers,
who are perceived by
the connoisseurs of the surreal
to exemplify the qualities of
the original group. They are
Terry Gilliam, Salman
Rushdie, Barbara Cartland
(who is 90), Quenton Crisp,
Jerry Sadowitz and a few others.
Surrealism is a stream-of-consciousness
style of work, a
way of finding the completely
rational in the utterly absurd.
The group has been chastised
as a handful of idealist intellectuals
who did nothing but
argue in cafes.
\ They were more than this,
though, they made an impact
6f sorts. In the 1960s, surrealist
slogans began to appear in
advertising. Terry Gilliam and
his "Monty Python" absurdity
In the 70s and the surge In
surreal clothing in the 8 0s
£how at least a minor impact.
However. I did see a few libertarian
bumper stickers when
the last election came around.
; The group may be dead
!today, but they left a wealth of
'great art, literature and films
behind. They also left the
framework for a new group,
possibly Neo-Surrealists, to
pick up where the group left
off.

Reaching out
Lee County offers help for those touched by AIDS
By Jennifer Wynn
Features Editor
Art by David Cosby
People who suffer from
AIDS, Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome,
may suffer from cold symptoms,
mouth sores or skin lesions.
But the worst part of the disease
is the number of people
who die feeling they are alone,
according to Lee County AIDS
Outreach (LCAO).
"It's so difficult for them to tell
anyone why they're sick," said
Carol Womer, of LCAO. "You
want people to reach out and
comfort you when your sick,
but the majority of people are
afraid to."
LCAO was formed to educate
Lee County about AIDS and
provide support for those who
have already tested Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
positive.
AIDS is the terminal condition
of the HIV virus, said Emily
Myers, a social worker with
LCAO. Just because someone
has tested positive, they are not
necessarily sick, she said. Some
people may not show AIDS
symptoms for 10 years. A small
percentage of those who test
positive may never even get the
disease, she said.
According to the State Department's
report for the week of
June 23, two cases of AIDS
were confirmedin Lee County,
resulting in a cumulative of
seven cases to date, LCAO President
Dawn Glascock said. This
number only reflects those tested
in Lee County.
'If we are aware,
we'll be able to
address the problem.'
- Dawn Glascock
"Seven sounds like that's not
that many people, but I can
think of three people who have
come to Lee County to be with
family who weren't included in
that number," Glascock said.
"AIDS is something we need to
conquer and overcome," Doug
Jackson, of LCAO, said. "We
need to educate people and get
them to unite as a community.
and we especially need to reach
out to those challenged by
AIDS."
LCAO offers educational
forums for the public, a buddy
system for AIDS patients and a
confidential support group.
There are about 60 people on
the LCAO mailing list, Wormer
said. At least five have been
tested HIV positive.
One of the biggest problems
with the disease, Myers said, is
the denial. "People pretend it
doesn't exist, like in Lee County.
They don't want to think there
are students and faculty that
may have AIDS," she said.
"It's just for people who are
gay, you don't get it if your
straight. That's the biggest misconception,"
Jackson said. "It
doesn't hang out in a dark alley
and say, 'Get the drug addict.'
AIDS doesn't care who it
affects."
AIDS can't be transmitted
through mosquito bites, public
toilets or drinking from a community
fountain, Jackson said.
It is spread through unprotected
sex of any kind, the
exchange of body fluid and
sharing needles, Glascock said.
"You're not going to get AIDS by
being in the same room (with an
AIDS victim) or shaking someone's
hand," she said.
If someone has engaged in
high-risk behavior and suspects
he may have AIDS, Myers said,
he should be tested. However,
AIDS testing in Lee County is
not confidential.
In Georgia, people who go to
the health department to get
tested are given a number.
"I think that type of anonymous
testing encourages them
to get tested," Glascock said.
Since AIDS may be dormant,
if someone has participated in
high-risk behavior and has a
negative result, he should come
back for later tests and keep
coming back as long as the
behavior is practiced, Myers
said.
For right now, LCOA's goal is
to educate Lee County about
AIDS, Glascock said.
"I wish that people would take
the time to become educated
about how the disease is transmitted,"
she said. "If we are
aware, we'll be able to address
the problem."
University vault destroys expensive art
By Michael Gordon
A&E Editor
Biggin Hall is the home of one
of the best university art collections
of 19th and early 20th
century works in the southeast.
It also houses the large art
destruction device known as the
Biggin, vault.
The Biggin vault currently
holds paintings valued at thousands
of dollars. Some of the
works housed are by great
artists such as Ben Shahn,
Anne Golthwaite and Robert
Gwathmey.
Entertainment
Spotlight
Peter Barrios. 04VAT, is the
curator of the collection. He
stated, "Several works are being
destroyed because no care has
been given to them in the past."
A particular work by an early
20th century artist is losing the
paint off of the canvas because
of moisture. "The piece was
taken to a professional conservator
who stated that the work
could not be repaired," Barrios
said.
Sotheby's of New York valued
the total art that Auburn owned
in 1980 at $317,000. This
included a particular Georgia
O'Keefe valued at $100,000.
"Since that time O'Keefe has
died," Barrios said.
A death of a famous artist
usually increases the value of
art tremendously. Barrios add-
University investment? Plainsman files
"Hunger" (I) by Ben Shalm and "Gray Greens" by Arthur Dove are two of the more important
pieces in the collection. Sotheby's valued the works at more than $300,000.
ed, "The recent art boom would
also help increase the value of
the paintings."
The works were bought from
the state department in 1948 at
a cost of $1,200. "This shows
what a great investment art is,
and that the University does not
know what they really have."
The University is housing
great works of art in a basement
which has flooded in the past
(because of a sewer pipe failure),
gets hot and has a faulty
Piainsman files
humidity control unit.
Mr. and Mrs. Noel Wads-worth,
well-known Atlanta art
collectors, had been planning to
give one painting to the University
each year. "They stopped
giving paintings due to the poor
condition in which the art is
being kept," Barrios said.
In the vault are two paintings
that are particularly important.
One is by Anne Golthwaite, the
other by Ben Shahn. The Anne
Golthwaite has a slash in the
painting approximately 9 inches
long. The Ben Shahn is beginning
to lose some of its vibrant
color and is slowly turning
brown.
Several prints are mounted on
boards that have an acidic quality
that is slowly destroying the
works.
"The art department has no
place to show this work; a
museum is desperately needed.
However, the University does
not want us to pursue some of
the wealthy alumni for donations
because they are after
them for another purpose, "Barrios
said.
"In the meantime the art continues
to decline," he added.
The University is allowing
some great works, by some of
the greatest artists of our time,
to be destroyed, he said. A
museum would be an investment
that would greatly pay
back its costs in the future with
the value of the works it would
house and protect.
Allen comedy has its moments
Woody Allen's Play It Again.
Sam, the most recent offering of
Auburn University Theater, provided
audiences with an entertaining
comedy, including well-played
slapstick scenes and
humorous dialogue delivery.
Though there were moments
of mediocrity Friday night, the
production, directed by Elane
Denny, was generally well done.
The supporting cast, particularly
the roles of Dick (played by
Robert Bolock, 04 GTH) and
Bogey (played by Daniel Stanton.
04 GTH), carried the show.
The lead role of. Alan (played by
John Herrington", 04 GTH) was a
great effort, but the portrayal
'was occasionally melodramatic.
Some scenes seemed forced,
but the characters managed to
invoke the intended emotions.
The personalities of the roles
were well developed in that the
audience could easily understand
the attitudes and actions
of the characters.
The lighting crew made it easy
to understand the difference
between actual occurrences and
scenes that Alan imagined.
Since dream scenes were constantly
interjected, this was crucial
to following the action.
Play Review
The set design provided the
appropriate atmosphere for the
play which was set in the
1970s. The "room" contained
small touches of the decade,
including a turntable, rotary-dial
telephones and even a swag
lamp.
The costumes were also suited
to the time period. Miniskirts,
boots, polyester suits
and hip huggers were in abundance.*
W ten by French playwright
Georges Feydeau, A Gown for
His Mistress is a comedy that
centers around a married man's
indiscretions.
The play, done in the tradition
of a "French Bedroom" farce,
stars Bolock as the lead.
Overall, the production was
an enjoyable way to spend an
evening. There were a number
of big laughs and a few touching
moments (though they often
bordered on corny). It was
worth the $2.50 and the two
hours spent to escape into a
world of someone else's problems.
The next production will be A
Gown for His Mistress to be
presented July 27-28 and
August 3-5 at 8 p.m. Tickets
will again be available at the
price of $6 for adults, $5 for
senior citizens and children and
two for $5 for Auburn University
students with a valid ID. For
more information call 844-4154.

Pet fish making splash
among college students
By Laura Evans
Staff Writer
Pet fish are making a big
splash In Auburn with
four pet stores and Wal-
Mart selling fish.
Auburn Exotic Fish, which
opened in 1987, specializes in
freshwater and saltwater fish of
all kinds. Pet Center I, Pet Center
II, Wal-Mart and the Pet
Stop sell fish as well as other
pets.
Deborah Clay, owner of
Auburn Exotic Fish, said they
sell 200-500 fish per week,
ranging in price from 17 cents
to $150.
Catfish, algae eaters and fan-tail
guppies are among the
biggest sellers at Pet Stop, said
employee Vance Fulkerson,
01 PBSC.
"Freshwater fish are the most
popular, especially with the girls
in the dorms," Fulkerson said.
Steve Dearwent, 04 MMB,
began working at Pet Center II
after starting an aquarium of
his own. "I started three years
ago with a 10-gallon tank,"
Dearwent said.
He said he now has two freshwater
and four saltwater tanks.
Brent Barranco, 01 PM, has
one 30-gallon tank which has a
man-eating oscar, a popular
species of aquarium fish.
Barranco bought his freshwater
oscar for $4. The oscar was
about one inch long when he
bought him and is now 11 inches
long and still growing, he
said.
"Anything you put in the tank
he will eat," Barranco said.
The oscar's menu includes
roaches, pizza, shrimp, hotdogs,
steak, ham, ice cream sandwiches
and malted milk balls.
'Anything you
put In the tank
he will eat.'
- Brent
Barranco
Barranco said that while he
and his roommate. Den Irwin,
01 AR, were going through fraternity
initiation, the oscar got
hungry and ate Irwin's fish.
"I have him trained so that he
won't eat unless I hold the food
right above the tank," Barranco
said. "He jumps up and eats it
out of my hand. I forgot to tell
my mom and when she went In
to feed him, he bit her hand."
Dearwent recommends starting
out small, with freshwater
fish.
"A lot of students want to
start^with some of the large, colorful
saltwater fish," Dearwent
said. "I think it's best to work
your way up through freshwater
tanks first. You can use a lot of
the same equipment for both
types."
Equipment for a beginner
includes an aquarium, full fluorescent
aquarium hood, gravel,
aquarium heater, algae scrubber,
thermometer, chlorine
remover and undergravel filter.
A vibrator air pump, air line
check valve and a small outside
power filter are also needed.
"It's an expensive hobby,"
Barranco said. "I've probably
invested $250 since September."
"It's really interesting to Just
sit down and watch the fish
become a community," Dear-went
said. "It's addictive."
According to a Tetra fish
guide brochure, researchers
from the University of Pennsylvania
have reported that people
who watch fish in home aquariums
tend to be more relaxed
and less subject to stress than
other people.

Art terrorists at work on Mind Bomb LP
Mind Bomb
The The
Epic/Some Bizzare
* • • •
Eccentric, creative, borderline
Insane, Matt Johnson's quasi-group
The The has released Its
third album entitled Mind
Bomb.
Johnson can only be
described as an art terrorist.
His lyrics and his harsh, riveting
voice sound like a foreboding
cry for humanity sent from a
suffering soul in some Dante-esque
hell.
Mind Bomb is unpredictable.
It flows and moves across the
ideals of society and leaves
them but smoldering cinders in
its wake.
Johnson assaults Christianity
and Islam in one shot on
"Armageddon Days," as he
sings, "Islam is rising/the
Christians mobilizing/the world
is on its elbows and knees/it's
forgotten the Message and worships
the creeds."
Johnson is more than a songwriter;
he is poet. A poet of
truth. He might be the most
incredibly pessimistic, highly
cynical man that has ever
walked the face of the earth.
' But in the wake of all this pessimism
he tries to leave us with
answers.
Music Review
Johnson seems to give us
some insight into his philosophy
about the metaphysical In his
song, "Gravitate To Me..."
singing. "I have been watching
you for ages...I know you from a
previous incarnation." Is this
some allusion into a belief in
reincarnation?
Johnson bitterly accosts religion
in his song "The Violence of
Truth." The lyrics say. 'Those
are the rules of religion/those
are the laws of the land/That's
how the forces of darkness have
suppressed the spirit of man."
The lyrical aspect of music is
not the only approach Johnson
excels in on this album. In the
past the great lyrics have been
lost in mediocre, melodramatic
dance beats that do nothing but
hide Johnson's lyrical skills.
Mind Bomb is different.
For the music he collaborated
with ex-Smiths guitar god,
Johnny Marr.
Between the two, they added
James Eller on bass, David
Palmer on drums, a horns section,
a full choir, a string
orchestra and two conductors.
In all, more than 100 people
worked together to make this
album so incredibly Intense.
This massive mixture of musicians
is a far cry from his first
album Burning Blue Soul, in
which Johnson played every
Instrument, as well as sang and
wrote the lyrics.
Johnson has been quoted several
times as saying, "I made
this album on nothing stronger
than orange juice."
Johnson was quoted in Blitz
magazine as saying, "I have
been leaving drugs and alcohol
alone and even had a certain
amount of abstention from sex."
This has given his music a new
sound, but not lighter (as one
might expect without the aid of
hallucinogens). The sound is
even more intense, more pure.
The album is revolutionary. It
is a revelation, possibly one of
those experiences of will which
Schopenhauer often spoke of. It
is a message of good that comes
out of the bowels of evil. Johnson
touches the core of the
human spirit.

Southern life shapes work of local artists, writers
Editor's note: Since part of last
week's story was illegible, the
story appears below.
By Jennifer Wynn
. Features Editor
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
r 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 Car-cache,
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."
Odessa Crenshaw, a photographer
and muscian who lives
in Auburn, describes her hand-tinted
photographs as "southern
romantic."
Hand-tinting involves applying
the color to the photograph
with toothpicks and is time consuming,
Crenshaw said. For a
16" by 20" picture, it will take
20 to 30 hours.
"I am not a very patient person,"
she said. "I have learned
patience through this."

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.
Blair Hobbs, a poet and visual
a r t i s t from Auburn, said,
"Because the objects and people
I feed off of are southern, usually
what I write about is southern."
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.

the collages, sometimes 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.
As a southern writer, Hobbs
said that she usually writes
about mothers, sisters, traditions
and women.
"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."
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."

Bo has class
to go along
with talent
"So you go to Auburn University?"
'Well, as a matter of fact..."
"Isn't that where Charles
Barkley, that arrogant guy
who plays basketball, went?"
"Well..."
"Isn't that where Brent Full-wood,
that fellow who never
went to class played football?"
"Well, ah..."
"Hey, and isn't that where
Jeff Burger, that gun-toting
quarterback, played?"
"Alright, I think I'm getting
the idea..."
"But isn't that where the
great Bo Jackson went? The
guy who hits 450-foot homers
and makes diving catches left
and right? The guy who runs
over linebackers in his spare
time? The guy who never bad-mouths
anybody and always
Jhas time for autographs? The
'guy who stops and helps people
with flat tires on the side of
the road? The guy who never
got too big to remember his
roots?"
Yea, that's Auburn."
"Not a half-bad place. I
guess."
When Pat Dye graciously accepted
defeat before a national
television audience following a
controversial, emotional loss to
Florida State In the Sugar
Bowl last year, he gave the
school more positive public
relations than the football
team had earned in years.
Dye is saddled with the burden
of fighting an image certain
former Tigers may give the
school. But he has an ally in
the man who "just does it."
Jackson gives the public a
good Impression of the University
almost any time he does
anything.
In the televised interview following
the Ail-Star game, Bo
conducted himself in a classy
manner.
"I got a piece of the ball,"
Jackson said in his typically
humble manner.
It is difficult to comprehend
what Jackson accomplished
on the baseball diamond. Just
four years ago, Jackson finished
his collegiate career.
Pnly a couple dozen games
were left in the season before
he was ruled ineligible by the
Southeastern Conference.
He played in the minor
leagues that summer after
^shocking the sports world with
jhis decision to play professional
baseball rather than
football.
Even in the past couple of
years, when he has had
flashes of brilliance, the second
halves of the seasons have
been generally forgettable.
This season, however, Bo is
for real.
He is the leading candidate
for Most Valuable Player in the
American League and despite
a low on-base percentage, he
is a great deal more consistent
in every phase of the game.
There is no longer any use in
guessing what he is going to
do next. He may quit football
tomorrow, or If he feels like it,
he might pick up a third sport.
But whatever he does, he is
going to do it in a manner
befitting a professional.
Auburn should appreciate not
only having had such a gifted
athlete but also having a
classy man.

Media play golf
but talk football
By David Hardee
Sports Editor
DADEVILLE - The ninth
annual Pat Dye Invitational took
place at the Still Waters Resort
this weekend as coaches and
media relaxed, before the tense
reality of the season sets in.
The football coaches, head
coaches from the other sports,
athletic department administrators,
bowl game representatives
and media were in attendance
at the Sunday through Monday
event.
One of the highlights of the
event was the annual Pat Dye
Invitational Golf Tournament on
Monday. The scramble was won
by the team with Bud Casey,
running backs coach, Perry Ballard
of the Opelika-Auburn
News, Roy Exum of the Chattanooga
News-Free Press, Jim
Brock of the Cotton Bowl and
Herschel Nissenson of the Associated
Press.
Golf was not the only sport
played. Fishing, tennis and basketball
were also included.
The most formal event of the
weekend was the Sunday luncheon,
after which Dye spoke
for about 45 minutes. Dye
showed the humorous side of
him that he rarely presents during
the pressure-packed season.
Dye lamented his team being
made preseason No. 1 in the
Southeastern Conference again.
"I'd pick Alabama," he said,
mentioning their favorable
schedule that includes neither
Georgia nor Florida.
Dye said that Alabama coming
to the Plains was "the last
stone to make our program
complete."
He said he feared that his
players might become caught
up in the hoopla surrounding
the game in the weeks leading
up to the Tide's visit, and that
they may lose concentration.
Five players, Junior tailback
Stacey Danley, senior guard
Mark Rose, sophomore defensive
lineman Richard Shea,
junior defensive back John
Wiley and senior guard Brad
Johnson, were present for interviews
on Sunday.
The players felt that although
they were part of a young team,
the potential to blend into a title
contener is there. They expressed
an eagerness for the
season to get started.
Members of the athletic
department said that this year's
invitational was the best yet.
"Every year it gets easier,"
Reba Gulledge, sports information
department secretary, said.
Abrams may be
only Prop 48 Tiger
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
Auburn football has lost at
least one victim to Proposition
48 this year and possibly a second,
Pat Dye announced Sunday.
Anthony Abrams will not be
eligible to play until next season
and Fred Baxter's fate has not
been determined.
The announcement came
Sunday following a luncheon at
the ninth annual Pat Dye Invitational
at the Still Waters Resort
in Dadeville.
"We've seen a steady reduction"
in the number of the Prop
48 guys each year," David
Housel, sports Information
director said.
Proposition 48 is an NCAA eligibility
rule that requires entering
college athletes to score at
least 15 on the ACT and maintain
a 2.0 GPA Athletes who fail
to achieve these standards lose
their eligibilty for one year.
The rule states that athletes
can restore their eligibility by
raising their grade point average
during their first year of college.
Auburn will have four players
eligible this year who were Prop
48 causalties last year. Tim Cro-martle,
Herb Casey, Alex Smith
and Chuckle Johnson will have
the opportunity to join the
action this season.
Head trainer Herb Waltrop
announced that running back
Harry Mose will not be able to
return to this year's team.
Mose developed a congenital
condition in a vertebra as a
result of a neck injury he suffered
last fall, he said.
Though the fracture has
healed, Waltrop said, a defect in
his vertebra remains.
Mose, who won't be playing
football anymore, will go on
medical hardship scholarship
and continue to work toward a
degree, Waltrop said.
Dye also used the luncheon
as an opportunity to recognize
the accomplishments of ticket
manager Bill Beckwith and the
entire ticket office.
Dye praised Beckwith for originally
selling season tickets in
the '50s and for selling out the
season tickets for 1989.
None of Auburn's basketball
hopefuls will be affected by Prop
48 this year, coach Tommy Joe
Eagles said at the luncheon.
Eagles brings new life to program
By Randy Peitsch
Staff Writer
After a disappointing season
in 1989, Auburn's basketball
team needed something new,
which is exactly what it got - in-the
form of a coach.
But while the team knows a
lot about him already, the questions
from others still remain:
"Who is this guy?" and "What
can he do for the team?"
Tommy Joe Eagles, although
new to the Southeastern Conference,
Is certainly no stranger
to basketball.
As a high school senior, he led
his team to the Louisiana State
Class B Championship. After
this, he went to Louisiana Tech
on a basketball scholarship
where he lettered for four years
and was team captain his final
year.
He then began coaching at the
high school level, where he
served for eight years and won
three state championships.
Eagles was later hired as an
assistant at Louisiana Tech.
After six years there, he was
named head coach and averaged
22 wins in each of his four
seasons as its coach. He also
took each team to the NCAA
Tournament.
But building up last year's
worst SEC team will not be
easy. Eagles said he does see
similarities between Auburn
and Louisiana Tech.
Fan support plays a large role
and he-would like to see •an.'
increase from last year, he said.
Eagles said he has set two
main goals for the upcoming
season: he wants this year's
team to be the hardest-playing
team that has ever played at
Auburn and he wants the players
to play to their potential.
"If we're potentially good
enough to win this league and
don't, we've failed," Eagles said.
"If we're good enough to finish
third and don't, then we've
failed. Wherever our potential
level is, that's what we want to
play to. And we want to play
hard."
This potential level should
Increase with the recruiting
class that Eagles has brought
in. One new player to look for
will be Larry Patrick, a 6-foot-5
guard/forward from Polk Community
College In Winter Haven,
Fla.
"(Patrick)...has a better
chance of being an immediate
impact for us than anybody else
we've brought in," Eagles said.
Eagles
With the loss of Matt Geiger
and the lack of "big men" available
for recruitment, this team
will need to be more versatile,
he said. There Is a definite optimism
throughout the basketball
program this year, with new
faces on the court and In most
all staff positions.
Eagles said he sees a hunger
in the players' faces In anticipation
of the upcoming season.
He said that he approaches
the new season with this in
mind: "We can get it done!"
Sullivan's
children
leaving city
By Jon Collins
Staff Writer
Because of an apparent
problem with the Auburn public
school learning disability
program, quarterback coach
Pat Sullivan's wife and children
will be moving to Birmingham.
Two of their three children
will attend Mountain Brook
High School this fall, according
to Dr. Ed Richardson,
superintendent of Auburn
public schools.
"I regret that they find it
necessary to transfer to Mountain
Brook," Richardson said.
"We hate to lose them. They
are fine children."
The Sullivans children are
twins Patrick and Kelly, 15,
and Kim, 19, who was enrolled
In the Auburn learning disability
program. Patrick and Kelly
are to be enrolled for fall classes
at Mountain Brook High
School.
Richardson said there was
currently a case before the
board of education, involving
the Sullivans.
"We're still waiting on the
decision and either side could
appeal," Richardson said, adding
that he'd been advised not
to comment on the case's
details.
"It is a due process hearing
at this point," Richardson said.
'The next step could be federal
court."
Sullivan, who won the 1971
Helsman Trophy as an Auburn
quarterback, and his wife,
Jean, were unavailable for
comment.
"Yes, I was aware of the
problems (the Sullivans) were
having with the learning disability
program," Auburn High
School principal Robert Dot-son
said. He couldn't comment
on what the problems were, he
said.
"Matters dealing with special
education are strictly confidential,"
Dotson said. "We hate
to see the children go. They're
fine young people."
Mountain Brook Principal
Dr. Tim Norris said he didn't
know a whole lot about the
Sullivan childrens' transfer.
"I haven't talked with coach
Sullivan about it," Norris said.
"I Just heard about it a couple
of days ago."
Mountain Brook has more to
offer than other high schools

Baird looking forward to experienced ball club
By Shawn Mathis
Staff Writer
The Auburn baseball team
finished its 1989 campaign with
a five-week run that no one
could have dreamed possible.
A sweep of Tennessee and two
victories against LSU slipped
the Tigers into the SEC Tournament
where they won the championship
from the last seed. And
at the NCAA Regionals, Auburn
appeared headed for a trip to
the College World Series before
a bad bounce essentially ended
the season.
Fourth in a series
Coach Hal Baird looks ahead
to a season that will see his
entire pitching staff, the second-best
in the SEC last year, return
as well as nearly every position
player.
Q. Was last season a surprise
to you?
A We really didn't know what
to expect. We knew that we
would be Inexperienced, since
we had six players drafted Into
the major league off of our 88
team.
We played like we were young
the first half of the season, but
after we made some position
changes in the second half,
things started to really pick up.
Q. What la your outlook for
next season after last season's
turn for the better?
A WeVe got a good nucleus
team returning, 15 or more
players with a lot of experience.
Our standing will really depend
on how well we can replace our
two leading hitters, Frank
Thomas and Clark Preble. But
we are coming off a season with
the youngest team I think we've
ever had.
Q. How many starters will
the team be losing? How large
of an impact will this have?
A Actually, we will lose four;
Frank Thomas, Derek Crown-over,
Joe Siwa and Clark Preble,
all starters. We can get by
without Derek Crownover at
shortstop, that really wasn't his
position. In fact, we will be better
at short. Frank Thomas will
be impossible to replace. He hit
more home runs than the rest
of the team put together.
Q. Who do you think the
upcoming season's team leaders
will be?
A. I would hope our more
experienced players would take
up the lead. That would be Jeff
Leatherman, Andy Albrecht,
Scott Renner and Tommy
Youngblood.
'We've had players
every year
like Bo Jackson
and Frank Thomas...'
- Hal Baird
g. What will the schedule
be like for next season? Any
major changes?
A. Tough schedule. Every
year gets tougher. We have five
series on the road and only four
at home. We're also the only
team that will finish the season
with two road series. Our non-conference
season will be the
same - hard.
ii
Q. What would you consider
to be last season's most exciting
game?
A I would say the tournament
championship game
against Georgia. We had to win
it. But really, a lot of the games
were exciting.
Q. Did you notice an
increase in attendance with
last season's winning streak?
A Nol That's been very disheartening.
We've had players
every year like Bo Jackson and
Frank Thomas, Ail-Americans.
But we've still had low attendance
every year. We hope that
will change because It would
really help the team.
I think it may be partly our
own fault though, maybe we
don't advertise enough. The students
never seem to know when
the games are.
Q. What player do you feel
improved the most last season,
and will contribute most
to the team next season?
A. Tommy Youngblood, definitely.
He had a 14-3 pitching
season and was selected first
team AU-SEC.
" - - • • - '
Baird
Q. How well did you wrap
up r e c r u i t i n g ? Are you
pleased?
A. We feel good. We feel like
this is going to be a great group.
But at this point, everybody
likes who they've got because
they don't really know them yet.
Our two best as of now are Ted
Corbin, a shortstop recruited by
the Phillies, and Jason Johnson,
a right-handed pitcher
recruited by the Braves.

Baseball camp hosts young talent
By Mary Orndorff
Staff Writer 70 learn from coaches, players
Bo Jackson's performance In
the All-Star Game last week
inspired high school players
everywhere but perhaps none
more than those at Auburn's
baseball camp.
About 70 boys from all over
the Southeast came to Plainsman
Park to learn from the
1989 SEC Tournament champions
and have the chance to play
where Jackson played.
Howard Hill, entering his
senior year at Satsuma High
School in Mobile, was thankful
for the break from the grueling
eight-hour camp schedule to
watch Jackson become the'All-
StarMVPJury 11.
Hill has been to several
camps, including Mississippi
State University and Florida
State University, and said that
Auburn's camp was "tiring but
good."
Participants worked three sessions
a day for four days, receiving
personal Instruction from
Auburn coach Hal Baird and
his staff.
Balrd's guests Included Tony
Guzzo, coach at Virginia Commonwealth
University; Billy
Best, assistant coach at East
Carolina University; Bob Smith,
coach at Barron-Collier High
School in Florida; former
Staff photo by Chris McCalla
Auburn players Tim Lemmons
and John McPhatter; and current
Auburn assistant coaches
Steve Renfroe and Ed Thayer
and several current Auburn
players.
Mike Killimett and Dave Snell
are high school seniors from
Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and
said they enjoyed their week in
Auburn. The coaches selected
Killimett as the best senior
defensive player. . .
"I like how the time is broken
up," Snell said. "Instruction
time is in the morning, with
game situations and scrimmaging
later to practice what we
learned in the morning."
Specifically, participants
learned skills in pitching, hitting,
bunting, base running,
outfield play, catching, Infield
play and game tactics and strategy.
Also, there was instruction
in strength training and weight
lifting.
During the scrimmaging at
night, players whose teams
weren't on the field worked in
the batting cages. Renfroe and
Baird said he noticed the players
coaching each other, using
techniques learned earlier that
day.
It was encouraging to see the
boys making friends and helping
each other improve their
skills, Baird said.
Bo adds to
the legend:
Ail-Star MVP
By Daena Pettit
Staff Writer
The 1989 Major League Baseball
All-Star game could have
been nicknamed the "Bo show."
In Bo Jackson's first AU-Star
performance, he drove in two
runs, one a 448-foot homer,
stole a base and made a spectacular
running catch. Jackson
also walked away with the Most
Valuable Player award.
"I knew Bo was capable of
achieving anything he set his
mind to," Auburn baseball
coach Hal Baird said.
Jackson, who batted first for
the American League, sent
pitcher Rick Reuschel's second
pitch of the game soaring over
the wall. In the second inning,
Jackson singled and stole second
base.
The only other player to hit a
home run and steal a base in an
All-Star game was Willie Mayes,
in 1960.
Jackson's performance helped
the AL beat the National League
5-3. It is the first time since
1957-1958 that the AL has won
consecutive All-Star games.
"Bo is great, no one questioned
his ability." Baird said.
"He's one of a kind."

from eight sports, strength
training depends on one man.
Mike Stephens.
Stephens is the assistant
strength coach, and he monitors
athletes in every sport,
except football.
"It is more of a challenge,"
Stephens said, "because the
sports are so diverse.
"From a distance runner to a
volleyball player - one needs
endurance and the other needs
quickness. It's my job to help
them improve their performance."
Emphasis is put on how the
athlete performs the exercise,
not necessarily the number of
repetitions or amount of weight
lifted. Stephens said his goal is
to strengthen the athlete, not
develop a powerlifter.
Each strength program is tailored
to the specific sport. Offseason
training builds strength,
and the program changes to
maintain that strength during
the season, Stephens said.
Since the football team moved
to the new athletic center, head
strength coach Paul White
donated the old football equipment
to to be used by the other
sports the Coliseum weight
room.
"Coach Dye began serious
weight training upon his arrival
'It's more of a challenge because the
. sports are so diverse. It's my job to
help them improve their performance.'
- Mike Stephens
Stephens and his staff of two
volunteers look at the most
common injuries in each sport,
examine those muscle weaknesses,
and develop a strength
program to train those areas of
the body to withstand the
impact. This technique reduces
the chance of injury, Stephens
said.
Because each sport has its
own specific needs, he said,
each muscle must be developed
separately to help the athlete.
in 1981, and now the other
sports, in addition to football,
have an advantage," Stephens
said, referring to the modern
equipment in Auburn's weight
rooms.
"Many changes for the better
are happening right now,"
Stephens said. "The success of
the football and women's basketball
teams have added to the
growth of Auburn's minor
sports."
"Some of our sharpest ath-
Stephens
letes are in our minor sports.
They Just don't get the notoriety
like the others."
Stephens is currently working
toward a master's degree in
exercise physiology, the study of
what happens to the body during
exercise. His specially is
researching gender differences,
and how females adapt to training
as compared to males.
Stephens was born in California,
raised in Muscle Shoals,
Ala., and did his undergraduate
work at Weber State College in
Ogden, Utah.
Haddock aims high in 2nd year
By Deena Pettit
Staff Writer
If Peri Haddock's freshman
season on the lady Tiger gymnastics
team is any indication
of the future, she could well be
on the way to her goal of
becoming an All-American.
Haddock finished with the
team's third-highest average
on vault and uneven bars,
despite being held back by
minor injuries throughout the
season.
"I guess I'm just accident
prone," Haddock said. "It's
frustrating because I felt I
could have done better."
She remained consistent
during the season in her two
best events. Haddock finished
the season with an average of
9.08 on vault and 9.21 on the
bars.
"She has one of the premiere
bar sets in the conference."
coach Robert Dillard said.
"Peri has a Tsukahara-full
vault. It is one of, if not the,
best vaults on the team."
Haddock also competes on
the other two events, floor
exercise and balance beam.
"As a freshman, she did a
super job on balance beam,"
Dillard said. "She had some
nagging injuries that held her
back on floor. She will get better
as she goes along."
The Cal State Fullerton meet
was Haddock's top performance.
She achieved her
career-best scores at that time
in all three events in which
she competed. She received a
8.90 on beam, 9.20 on vault
and a season-high 9.50 on
bars.
Haddock is from Sherman,
Texas, where she was state all-around
champion in 1986, finished
second at regionals and
ranked 18th nationally. She
competed in the Texas gymnastics
league, an extremely
tough gymnastics conference,
according to Dillard.
Haddock said she chose
Auburn because everyone on
the team got along so well.
She especially liked Dillard.
she said.
"He's a great coach," she
said. "He can push us hard
and motivate us to get the
work done."
"Peri adjusted well to the
Haddock
team," teammate Sharon Crot-zer
said. "The transition was
slower for her because she was
far from home, but she fit in
well with everyone. -"
"Peri has the talent and
potential to carry us where we
need to go next year. She will,
be a big part of the team," she
said.
Haddock has high aspirations
for the team this year.
"If everyone is working this
summer and is in shape for
fall," Haddock said, "we could
go to nationals."

Cekander adjusts to life after gymnastics
By David Hardee
Sports Editor
The temperature, as it had
most summer days, rose above
100 degrees inside the cramped
gymnasium that housed the
Texas Academy of Gymnastics.
The one-story building, which
looked more like a warehouse
than a gym, had garage doors at
each end, and two gigantic fans
that didn't help lower the humidity.
Air conditioning was a
foreign term to the gym's archi-
- tects.
The team of 14 teen-age girls
had gone through one half of an
hour of difficult tumbling into
the pit when they moved on to
the floor mat. For an hour, the
girls did alternating, crisscrossing
tumbling runs across the
floor; as soon as one finished
her run, another would follow.
'You cannot go to bars until
you stand up a double-full,"
their coach yelled.
Finally, all but one girl had
accomplished this task. As the
rest of the team waited with its
grips on, ready to move to the
bars, Amy Cekander concentrated
on landing a perfect double-full.
"That had j u s t been a hard
day," Cekander said. "I was just
not landing well."
She made another tumbling
.pass, but it was not good
enough. She had landed with
t>ent knees.
> "I told myself, 'I'm going to go
like hell on this one,'" Cekander
;said. "It was like, 'Oh my God,
Jthey're all waiting on me.'"
I "We don't have all day," the
familiar voice of her coach rang
out.
•
I She then made what would be
her last tumbling run on two
igood knees.
"I went so hard that when I
landed I j u s t kept twisting,"
Cekander said. "I did a one and
.three-quarter twist and the floor
got the other fourth."
S Within a week, Cekander had
surgery to repair an anterior
cruciate tear in her right knee.
Her gymnastics career would
"hever be the same.
I Last January, Cekander's
knee went under the knife for
the fourth time, and she was
forced to quit the sport around
which her entire life had
revolved for 13 years.
Cekander, one of 11 children,
had started gymnastics when
she was 8, at the YMCA in
/Champaign, 111. By the time she
was 16, she had developed into
a premier gymnast and left
home for the Texas Academy of
Gymnastics in Ft. Worth, Texas.
Just two weeks after making
the elite team, she suffered the
first major injury of her career.
After the first arthroscopic
surgery to her knee, she trained
for six months with a knee
brace. About a year later,
though, not wanting to quit
gymnastics, Cekander had total
reconstructive surgery.
Luck then turned in Cekander's
favor.
At the first major meet she
competed in after rehabilitation
from the second surgery, the
coach of a young, struggling
program was in attendance, and
he liked what he saw.
"I saw a girl who never held
back, who always went full-speed,"
Auburn coach Robert
Dillard said.
"I knew that no matter where
we went with the program. Amy
would be a turning point," he
added.
Dillard's forecast proved accurate
as Cekander anchored the
most successful recruiting class
to date for the lady Tigers, one
that included Lisa Grieco, Kim
Suarez and Michelle McBride.
"Amy has a tremendous attitude,
she makes work fun and
she's highly coachable," Dillard
said.
For two years, Cekander was
able to struggle through hours
of practice a day. She would
practice with the team from
2 p.m. to 6 p.m., often after
having already gone through
rehabilitation exercises. Plus,
there was condition, aerobics
and weights.
But the accomplishments
were impressive.
"I couldn't even do normal
things," she said.
Cekander had surgery on her
right knee for the fourth time at
the Hughston Clinic in Columbus,
Ga., on Jan. 6. In the span
of an emotional few days,
Cekander, her father, the doctors
at the clinic and Dillard
came to a common conclusion:
Cekander should quit competing
in gymnastics.
"Her whole life's framework
The hardest thing was trying to be
realistic...I won't be doing Energizer
commercials like Mary Lou Retton.'
- Amy Cekander
Cekander was Auburn's No. 2
all-arounder as a freshman and
competed on three events as a
sophomore. She set the school
record on bars with a 9.60 and
posted the second-best mark
ever on the all-around with a
37.60.
During those two years, the
lady Tigers had risen from a
mediocre squad to the 15th-best
in the country.
Beginning her junior year, Dillard
and Cekander had decided
to have her concentrate on the
two events that are least stressful
to the knee, the balance
beam and the bars.
"Going into December, Amy
was our best worker on both of
her events," Dillard said. "I
think she had a good shot at
Ail-American on bars."
But Cekander's knee locked
up.
was gymnastics," Dillard said.
"And all of a sudden, it was
gone.
"You don't know how a person's
psychological feelings can
go downhill when they are not
able to do what they've always
done."
Cekander did not have an
easy adjustment to her post-gymnastics
life.
'The hardest thing was trying
to be realistic," Cekander said.
"Having it taken away from me
right before the season made it

a lot tougher. I was always saying
on the inside that I can still
come back.
"But I had to take into consideration
that I was 21, and that I
wouldn't be doing gymnastics
when I'm 3 1 . And I won't be
doing Energizer commercials
like Mary Lou Retton.
"Being crippled at 22 is not
worth one more dismount."
Cekander remained tied to the
team through the season as a
student coach, helping out on
the floor routines.
"There was never as much
satisfaction in coaching as when
I did it myself," Cekander said.
'You don't have a 9.50 telling
you that you did well.
"Going into spring, I tried to
distance myself as much as I
could from the athletic department.
I wanted to keep in
shape, so I found new places to
lift weights and do aerobics. I
started meeting new people and,
above all, getting a Job helped."
Cekander got a Job leading
aerobics at the KAZ Fitness
Center.
"I get so much satisfaction
from working myself out and
working others out," she said.
"I'm out in front of everybody
and it's like doing a routine.
"I also have a lot more time
for studies."

from it.

Alalinsky's children and the
neighbor's kids have shrunk to
a height of one-fourth an inch.
They safari through the backyard
trying to get home to be
changed back to normal.
Along the way, they battle
insects, puddles and even the
sprinkler system. During their
struggle, the children and their
parents reevaluate their priorities.
Special effects bring the viewer
down to the size of the children
and make you feel the
threat of an ant. It is a hilarious
look at the life of a scientist and
how even brilliant minds can
cause big disasters.

A project consultant and an

were used to do the final review
of the job descriptions, she said.
"Right now the project only
affects salary but will be presented
to President James Martin
including benefits," she said.
"The program is a comprehensive
one that touches on compensation."
Marketing data from competitive
employers was collected
before the study began so that
the University could "provide
competitive career ladders and
promotional considerations" for
its employees, Robertson said.
"There are close to 800 job
titles and about 3,000 employees
involved in the study," she
said.
Many employees who filled
out the forms may have jobs
that have not changed at all
since before the project began.
In the future, if the job changes,
the employee will be reevaluated
for performance at his new job
level, Robertson said.
"We want to make sure there
is a distinction between jobs,"
she said.

According to the minutes of
the June 6, 1989, meeting of
the Auburn Planning Commission,
"The site plan indicates
landscaped islands within the
parking area as required by the
zoning ordinance and a total of
154 parking spaces. This allows
one space per bedroom, plus 14
additional spaces for employees."
"We are working diligently to
be open fall. 1990." said Taylor.
The site will extend from the
Conference Center to East
Thach Avenue and back to Gay
Street. It will take all the property
except that which is now
occupied by Castillian Condominiums
and Mr. Gatti's,
according to Taylor.
This will include the property
where Domino's Pizza is located,
he said.
Matt Eastalon, manager of the
College Street Domino's Pizza
said Monday, "We have been

Eastalon added that Domino's

base," Norris said.
'We offer a lot of accelerated
and special classes that other
schools do not," Norris said.
"Our class sizes are rather small
for a public school also."
Patrick will join the Mountain
Brook football team for preseason
drills in August, according
to Mountain Brook head coach
Gene Ellison.
Ellison said he and Sullivan
had talked briefly about the
children transferring.
"(Patrick) was here when he
was real young," Ellison said.
"I've never seen him play and
don't know that much about
him."
Sullivan's family lived in
Birmingham before he joined
the Auburn staff in 1986.
Patrick, who will be a sophomore,
was listed as second-string
quarterback after spring
drills for coach Wayne Profitt's
Auburn High team, Ellison said.
Profitt was away on vacation
and unavailable for comment.
Ellison said that Mountain
Brook will have a senior returning
who played back-up quarterback
last season.
"As of now, I'd say he's got ihe
starting job, unless someone
can take it away from him," Ellison
said. "I'm just glad we've got
someone else coming in."
