University seeks censure removal
By Gay Watson
Staff Writer
Measures to escape the censure
list of the American Association
of University Professors
will include revisions of the
tenure and promotion policy,
according to Larry Gerber, the
local chapter president of AAUP.
"The AAUP is the major
national professional group representing
university professors
as a group," Gerber said.
Academe, Jie AAUP publication,
has listed Auburn as a
censured university since 1983.
"In terms of Auburn's reputation,
being one of a relatively
small number of universities on
the list could be a deterrent to
people who might come here,"
Gerber said.
He said he doesn't think the
censure carries any major
penalty, but the censure might
have been a factor in Auburn's
unsucessful attempts to create
an honorary Phi Beta Kappa
chapter on campus in recent
years.
The censure was imposed
after an investigation into a lawsuit
filed against the University
by an individual who had
taught in the music department
for 12 years, then was brought
up for tenure and denied, he
said. The individual charged sex
discrimination but lost the case.
"That incident brought the
national office of AAUP in to
investigate whether this represented
a violation of the 1940
statement of principals," Gerber
said, "which Auburn had said
that it recognized as being legitimate.
"Among other things, the
statement of principles of 1940
s t a t e s that with regard to
tenure, a probationary period
for an instructor should not
exceed seven years."
Through its investigation, the
committee "also discovered that
there were more than 20 other
people who weren't necessarily
dismissed, but people who were
not recognized as holding
tenure, although they had
taught here for more than a
seven-year period," Gerber said.
"And it was true that the significant
majority of these cases
were women.
"The investigating committee
presented a report to the annual
national convention of the AAUP
in 1983 and recommended that
the national body of AAUP put
Auburn on its list of censured
administrations.
"The convention voted to
accept the report of this investigating
committee and find that
there were grounds for criticizing
Auburn's violation of tenure
guidelines.
'The AAUP censure was not
tied to what a court of law had
to say because the court did not
make any judgment on whether
Auburn violated a principal of
tenure after seven years of full
time service, that was not the
issue dealt with by the courts."
Dr. Ronald Henry, vice president
for academic affairs, said
Monday, "We have opened
negotiations with the national
AAUP offices, and since 1983 we
have followed all of the guidelines
perfectly and should have
the censure lifted."
One move made by Auburn to
end the censure was a revision
of tenure and promotion guidelines.
"We have a faculty handbook
that spells out in some detail
the processes for tenure and
promotion," Gerber said. "Those

Crisis Center needs
volunteers to listen
By Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
The Crisis Center is in need of
more volunteers. Unless more
are found, it may have to reduce
its hours, said Rona Phillips,
director of the Crisis Center of
East Alabama.
"We've had a real problem
with our volunteers graduating,"
she said. "We lost 20 to graduation
in June.
"Right now we have 32 active
volunteers, about 10 of which
are on vacation at any given
time, which is very low. We normally
like to keep around 60
people on the staff."
Many of the volunteers are
working double shifts to keep
the center open 24 hours, she
said, but without more volunteers,
a reduction in hours is
inevitable.
"Our volunteers have been
fantastic," Phillips said, "but
you can only ask so much.
"Summer is especially hard
because fewer students volunteer,
and the local people who
work with us go on vacation."
This is the lowest number of
volunteers the center has had in
five years, she said.
The center has tried to hold a
few training sessions, but attendance
has not been high
enough. It will hold training
twice In August: the first weekend
of August and Aug. 7-10,
she said.
"Volunteers at the center usually
work four hours a week, but
they can set their own hours.
We take any calls which come to
us. Calls are generally from
lonely or depressed people, but
we do occasionally get the serious
suicide calls, although they
are definitely in the minority,"
Phillips said.
The center receives about
150-200 calls a week, which is

New billing
starts with
new quarter
By Barbara Riddle
Staff Writer
Auburn students will no
longer have to endure long lines
usually experienced when paying
fees because of a new billing
system installed by the Bursar's
office.
Beginning fall, all tuition,
housing, parking and telecommunications
fees will be handled
through the mail, said Ken
Johnston, director of the Bursar's
Office.
"The new billing system will
eliminate the student's time
spent in performing administrative
functions," Johnston said,
"and will allow the student to
spend more time in academic
affairs."
The idea of a new billing system
has been discussed for several
years, and the idea has
gone into action in the last year,
he said.
The Bursar's Office will continue
to handle questions concerning
tuition and financial
aid, but for other fees, Johnston
said, the originating department

Zone consolidation starts fall
By Shai Barwick
Staff Writer
Parking zones C and D will be
consolidated this fall, according
to Jeff Van Slyke, university
police parking and traffic manager.
All existing D-zones will
become C-zones. Eighty existing
C-zone parking spaces will be
converted to B-zone parking
spaces. Van Slyke said.
With the change, only A,B,C,
and R zone parking will be
available, he said.
All graduate and under-graduate
students will now receive
C-zone permits, according to
Van Slyke.
"There was a misconception
that C-zones could drive on
campus," he said.
C-zone permits are not
allowed to drive on campus.
These changes were caused
by the new Life Sciences Building
that will soon be under construction.
"The new building will take
away 144 spaces from B-zone,"
he said.
GTAs and GRAs will still
receive B-zone parking permits
despite some confusion that
arose about these changes.
"A PAF (personal action form)
will have to be presented before
receiving the B-zone permit," he
said.
Eligible students may get a
PAF from their colleges, he said.
One change which students
may find favorable will be the
elimination of the validation
stickers. Van Slyke said.
Only the hangtags will be
used in the future to eliminate
the cost and hassle of obtaining
temporary permits for cars not
registered and to eliminate the
damage done by the stickers.

Auburn Greeks'Just say yes'
Kappa Alpha Psi assists Opelika's drug battle
By Matt Smith
News Editor
Auburn's Kappa Alpha Psi
fraternity chapter has joined
Opelika's recent antidrug campaign,
chapter member Dondl
Wright. 02 GLA, said Saturday.
The chapters at Tuskeegee,
where Wright originally pledged,
and Auburn have been setting
up "Kappa Leagues" In communities
and high schools to help
young people learn about drugs,
he said.
Wright and other fraternity
brothers, as well as several
Kappa League members from
Opelika High School, joined the
community parade and rally in
Opelika last Saturday to fight
drug abuse in the Hardaway
Avenue community.
"As Greeks, people look up to
us," Wright said at the rally.
"Little children, girls, boys...so I
just want to make a challenge to
all my Greek brothers and sisters.
Get something started,
because they're all looking at
you, brothers. They're all looking
at you, sisters."
About 200 people marched
Saturday from the St. James
Baptist Church in Opelika to a
vacant lot in front of an abandoned
barbecue stand, reputedly
a center of local drug traffic.
In addition to community
leaders, local residents and
press, the group was Joined by
several public officials including
Opelika Mayor Bobby Freeman,
Police Chief Dan Davis, City
Councilman George Bandy, Lee
County District Attorney Ron
Myers and former Alabama
Chief Justice and democratic
gubernatorial hopeful C.C. "Bo"
Torbert.
Wright said he plans to help
set up a Kappa League at
1
Auburn High School as well,
"because they're all fighting
each other all the time."
In addition, Wright said
Kappa Leagues are also being
formed at the seventh and
eighth grades.
Wright also challenged parents
to get more Involved in the
drug battle.
"For every kid that is in line to
get rehabilitated." he said, "I
want to see a parent there also.
'We all talk about how many
kids In the community are on
drugs, but we also have parents
on drugs."
Opelika declared its "War on
Drugs" two weeks ago, after
complaints from residents and
passersby about drug trafficking
in the Hardaway Avenue
area. The march Saturday went
ahead despite heavy rain earlier
that afternoon.

The black shrouding and
"keep out" signs around the
Haley Center basement indicate
one of many asbestos removal
jobs being done throughout the
University.
According to Stanley Drake,
assistant vice president for the
Facilities Division, the asbestos
removal jobs around campus
include Haley Center, Dorms J
and K, Shop Building 1 in the
Engineering Complex and the
Maranatha House.
Several small removal projects
are also being done to accomodate
maintenance in Funchess
Hall and the Animal Science
building, he said.
The Facilities Division has a
special asbestos removal unit
which is handling all of the
campus projects, except for
Dorms J and K, whose renovations
are contracted out to a
private removal company, Drake
said.
"Asbestos removal is a comprehensive
procedure," said
Drake. "First, the space in
which the asbestos is located
needs to be prepared in such a
way so that removal procedures
do not allow contamination to
occur in adjacent spaces."
The work area is placed under
a negative pressure, he said,
and the asbestos-filled air is
forced through high efficiency
filters that remove the contaminated
fibers before the air is discharged
to the outside.
Once the fibers are contained,
the asbestos is removed in special
containers and disposed of
in accordance to strict enviro-mental
regulations, Drake said.
"Air sampling is done by independent
tests before an area is
declared ready to be reopened,"
Drake said. "This is a very serious
matter to be dealt with, and
it is not done in a frivolous
manner.
"Our general objective is to
have all of the fryable asbestos
removed. This is the only type
that causes problems."
A number of people showed
concern for safety when preparations
for the Haley Center
project began. According to
Drake, invitations were sent to
the faculty members whose
offices are located in Haley Center
to participate in training sessions
so they could see the
quality of the work involved in
the removal procedures.
Dr. James Gundlach, associate
professor of sociology, attended
the training sessions.
"In general, the reputation of
the asbestos industry is not
good," he said. 'They hire workers
who are at the bottom of the
skills ladder. Asbestos workers
have the second highest death
rate on the job.
"But. after the training, I'm
convinced the crew here is
exceptional, the cream of the
crop of the manual labor workers
in the area.
"I feel better after going
through the training. I'm favorably
impressed that they are
confident enough to allow me to
see the work."
The work In Haley Center is
expected to be finished by Sept.
20, Drake said. After the area
passes inspection, the basement
will be reopened to students for
studying.

State sets up tuition pre-payment plan
By Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
Alabama has become one of
.the few states in the nation to
institute a prepaid tuition fund,
according to Tina Harris, staff
.assistant for the prepaid tuition
fund.
The fund will be overseen by a
|&oard of directors with State
t r e a s u r e r George Wallace Jr. as
jfchairman. The program could
^begin as early as spring of 1990,
according to the statement
released by the t r e a s u r e r 's
,-offlce.
fi According to the statement,
^here are still a few appointm
e n t s left on the board. The
"appointments will be made by
iithe Governor and the Lieutenant
Governor.
,' The program is designed so
that parents, grandparents or
any sponsor can make the payments.
Harris said.
'The program is still in early
development. We j u s t had our
first board meeting last week,"
she said.
The amount of payments has
been discussed, she said, but a
conclusion has not been
reached.
The amount will be equal to
the value of four years tuition at
current rates, Harris said.
"The great advantage of this Is
that sponsors can pay four
years worth of tuition now," she
said, "and when the child is
ready for college In say, 10
years, the fund will pay four
years of tuition at that higher
rate."
The fund will take the money
which the sponsor contributes
and reinvest it, Harris said. The
profit from those investments
will then be used to pay the difference
between the current rate
of tuition and what the rate was
during the time in which the
sponsor contributed the money.
No decisions have been made
on how the money will be
Invested, but an actuary firm
has been hired to research the
possibilities, Harris said.
If the student chooses to
attend an out-of-state or private
school, the fund will pay an
amount equal to the cost of
tuition at an In-state school,
she said. The fund will pay the
tuition to the institution
involved and not to the student.
A system will be implemented
to allow sponsors to obtain
refunds should the child decide
not to attend sch6ol, Harris
said.
"Only the person purchasing
the contract will be able to
receive the refund," she said.
Sponsors may transfer the
contract should one child decide
not to go to school, she said.
The fund will offer three payment
possibilities: paying in one
lump sum, paying for a five-year
period, or paying each month
until the amount needed Is
reached, Harris said. The two
multi-payment plans will include
interest and will therefore
be more expensive, she said.
At this time, the plan will not
offer a different program for
those who enter majors requiring
more than four years of
study, she said, but one is possible
in the future.
'There's a lot we hope to do,
but right now we're just in the
planning stages," she said.

Students pick business, engineering
By Suzanne Rauch
Staff Writer Liberal arts 3rd in graduate numbers
According to recent graduation
statistics, careers in business
and engineering are still
the strongest vocations being
chosen by Auburn students.
Registrar Tom Stalhvorth said
enrollment in both majors has
steadily increased during the
last few years, with degrees in
business now overtaking those
students graduating with engineering
degrees.
"Business is turning out more
degrees number-wise. This is
also true nationwide, not just
here at Auburn," Stalhvorth
said.
Business began to jump
ahead of engineering when
requirements in engineering
became more restrictive, Stall-worth
said.
Last year, 973 students graduated
with business degrees
while the College of Engineering
graduated 808 students with
degrees, Stalhvorth said.
The college to graduate the
next highest number of students
was the College of Liberal
Arts, with a total of 749 degrees.
"Liberal arts has always been
our strongest school in terms of
students, because so many students
have yet to decide on a
major when first starting out,"
Stalhvorth said.
The College of Sciences and
Mathematics is steadily increasing
in size as interest in these
areas increases, he said.
"If they don't go into engineering,
they come here for the pre-professional
degrees," Stall-worth
said.
Degrees in architecture and
building science are also
increasing, he said, but the
schools can only take in a certain
number of students at one
time because the funding is limited.
Because of limited enrollment
and an increase in other southeastern
veterinary schools, the
College of Veterinary Medicine
has seen a slight decline in the
number of graduating students.
The College of Education has
also had a decline in graduating
students. This is because of
more restrictive requirements,
including a minimum of a 2.5
GPA before the student can
enroll in the program, according
to Stallworth.
The level of enrollment in the
other colleges and schools on
campus are also showing a
gradual decline in the number
of students graduating as more
and more students show an
interest in receiving pre-profes-sional
degrees.
Overall, the School of Forestry
has the lowest percentage of
students, Stallworth said.
Students get
firefighting
training, job
By Tawanda Shaw
Staff Writer
Because of budget constraints
and a need for lower-level personnel,
the City of Auburn is
seeking students interested in
becoming firefighters, according
to Cortez Lawrence, city training
officer and program director.
"The program involves providing
the city with firefighting personnel
who provide a valuable
service for us, and in return
they receive training and experience
that will be valuable to
them when they get into the
work force after graduation,"
Lawrence said.
The five-week training period
starts Aug. 14 and will involve
one week of first-aid training
and four weeks of physical
training, he said.
"They will be involved in a
very demanding physical training
course," he said, "and will
receive hands-on experience in
firefighting."
After completing the training,
the student firefighters could
begin work as soon as a shift is
assigned, said Lawerence.
"And they will be as qualified
as anyone in our fire department,"
he said.
The students will be required
to work 43 hours a week at
$3.35 per hour and will receive
all the benefits of city employees,
which includes a place to
stay, Lawrence said.
The students will be required
to work 12-hour shifts and
because of the shift schedules,
Lawrence said, he realizes that
accommodations for class
schedules might be needed.
"Our intent is to provide students
the opportunity to take a
normal academic load," he said,
"and make a living at the same
time."
Opelika examining new airport alternatives \
By Amy Layfield
Staff Writer
The fate of the proposed
expansion of the Auburn-Opeli-ka
Airport remains in the hands
of the Opelika City Council,
which continues to explore
alternatives.
"We want to be sure we've
exhausted all the possibilities,
so there'll be no looking back,"
said Opelika City Councilman
Carlton Hunley.
He said he was concerned
about rerouting Glenn and has
spoken to officials at Wain-wright
Engineering about the
possibility of expanding the runway
to the north across the
Indian Pines golf course.
Once the Auburn and Opelika
City councils agree upon a proposal,
the FAA will be re-approached
for funding. Ninety
percent of it will come from the
FAA and 10 percent will be
raised locally.
'We're not interested
in putting a
tunnel in.'
- Doug Watson
"Probably what will be agreed
upon will be some combination
of the two options (to reroute
Glenn Avenue)," said Auburn
City Manager Doug Watson.
"We're not interested in putting
a tunnel in."
There is no chance of a new
airport being built because of
the great expense, Watson said.
Allen Thames of Wainwright
Engineering said, "We would
have to build an exact replica of
the existing site and then
expand it before the FAA would
give any help at all in paying for
it."
Hunley said he doubted the
existing airport would be able to
grow with the community.
"By the time we have the
extension with all this money
being put into that." Hunley
said, "the community might like
a new airport, but it would not
be feasible.
"There is no room around the
airport for an industrial park,
and the buildings there are 20
to 30 years old now."
Other changes expected ar£
the resurfacing of the east-west
runway, the acquisition of an
instrument landing system (ILS)
and the installation of an Automotive
Weather Observing Sya-tem
(AWOS) by October .
Although city officials have
said one benefit of the ILS is
that planes can be insured for
landing on the extended runaway,
"Insurance is not a factor,"
said airport manager James
Hendricks. i

SGA, GSO: Senate reaches no compromise
on two GSO budgeting plans
By Suzanne Rauch
Staff Writer
An agreement on allocating
funds for the GSO was not
reached at a Monday night Student
Senate meeting with the
Graduate Student Organization.
The special meeting was
called so that senators could
discuss alternatives before a bill
is proposed in a regular Senate
meeting.
After the SGA and the GSO
could not reach a compromise
last quarter, open discussions
between SGA President Scott
Turnquist and members of the
GSO have culminated in two
possible alternatives for fund
allocation.
"Concerns of graduate students
would be more efficiently
handled by graduate students,"
GSO President Mitch Gore said.
"I'm not saying we would never
work together with the SGA but
we're saying graduate students
have unique needs, and it
would be more efficient if these
concerns were represented by
graduate students only."
The first alternative, which
the GSO supports, would be to
form a committee made up of
five GSO members and five SGA
members. It would approve the
GSO budget at the same time as
the regular hearings of the SGA
Budget and Finance Committee.
This new committee would
decide on the amount of funds
the GSO could get above that
needed to satisfy the requirements
set by the National Association
of Graduate-Professional
Students (NAGS), the GSO's
national affiliate.
'We just need to
get our two sides
together.'
- Scott Ayers
In case of a possible tie in the
budget decision, Ronald Henry,
vice president of academic
affairs, would cast the deciding
vote.
The second proposal included
a guaranteed set amount of
funds from the student activity
fees each year.
The remainder of the GSO
budget would be reviewed in the
same way as other student
organizations: through the SGA
Budget and Finance Committee.
"The money will be taken out
of somewhere, but B and F will
still need to adjust its figures,"
Turnquist said. "The money will
still be controlled in some way
by some (student) body."
Lanie Dornier, GSO Ways and
Means chairman, said the GSO
could not support itself without
a budget.
"What is important to us is
that this money cannot be controlled
by another student
group on campus," Dornier
said.
"We just need to get our two
sides together," Vice President
Scott Ayers said, "and come up
with a compromise as quickly
as possible."-
University, city
dispute zoning
By Joey Jarriel
Staff Writer
I*
The city of Auburn has
passed a resolution to determine
how the city's zoning
laws affect University property
off the main campus.
The resolution passed on
July 18 allows City Attorney
Arnold Umbach to ask the
opinion of the state attorney
general on the limits of the
city's jurisdiction in zoning
regulations of University property.
Auburn Planning Director
Bill Snowden said there is no
specific Alabama case law covering
the subject.
"This will allow the city
lawyer to talk to the Attorney
General and ask for an opinion,"
he said.
The resolution itself covers
three topics; jurisdiction, liability
and whether specific
sections of the Alabama Code
are pertinent, he said.
The city wants to know if its
zoning laws, ordinances that
determine how land may be
used within a municipality,
apply to University property
outside the main campus,
Snowden said.
The city also wants to know
whether it is liable for damages
that may occur from the
use of these lands in violation
of city zoning ordinances.
"We have surveyed other
cities in the state," he said,
"and have found varying
approaches to the problem.
Birmingham has extensive
control over (zoning matters),
Tuskegee has limited control
and Mobile is reassessing
(University of) South Alabama.
We think that we have limited
control," Snowden said.
Assistant Vice President for
Facilities Stan Drake said, "As
far as I know, there has never
been any comment made by
the city of Auburn...that has
indicated that they want to
control or view or approve of
facilities that were constructed
on the State of Alabama land.
This is state land; the property
still rests with state of Alabama.
Soviet professor joins University for summer
By Barbara Riddle
Staff Writer
A Soviet professor is in
Auburn teaching a group seminars
this summer with the agricultural
economics department.
Vladimir Stratanovich is team
teaching with Professor Conner
Bailey. The seminars are for
international and American students
with international training
and experience.
Stratanovich, 40, from Moscow,
first visited the United
States in 1979 where he attended
the State University of New
York at Albany.

The first impression Stratanovich
got of America was John
F. Kennedy Airport, he said.
The appearance of United
States cities are different than
cities in Russia, he said.
Moscow is more crowded and
the essence is different.
There are more informal relationships
in the United States,
he said.
"Russia is more traditional
and classical," he said.
But Americans are known for
the fast-paced "rat racing" of the
big cities, he said.
Stratanovich said that there is
an old Russian saying about
Americans: They ate and drank
and then they ate and drank
some more and when the check
came, they wept.
He said he would like to have
a government that combines the
pluses of the governments of the
United States and the Soviet
Union.
"The mass media has a lot of
work to do to overcome stereotypes
of the people of the United
States and Russia," he said.
He is currently involved with
BIOCOR (Biological Correction),
an organization that is working
to help international environmental
and economic peace, he
said.
The organization is working to
overcome national borders and
to try to see the world as a community.
BIOCOR is made up of
both U.S. and Soviet organizations,
he said.

were re-worked and subsequently
approved in 1987.
"The national office has
acknowledged the 1987 statement
as a positive indication of
Auburn implementing a different
policy than the one that got
us on censure.
"But, it's also the policy of
national that the professor that
was dismissed back in the early
'80s was in essence fired without
cause, and that some kind
of redress be worked out with
that individual, so that she
would no longer have a claim
against the University."
Henry said, "We have not
offered redress at this point.
and the contact has not been
made directly with her, but we
had some correspondence with
the national office."
Both Gerber and Henry said
that the national office might
act as a liaison if negotiations
take place.
But, Henry said that since the
individual lost the court case,
"the University feels that it was
exonerated."
Gerber said, "When the national
office has the impression
that the matters in dispute have
been resolved, then the national
office will send in a group of
individuals to investigate and
make a recommendation about
the censure."
If suitable redress is reached
in the case of the individual, the
censure could be lifted by a vote
at the annual meeting of the
national association in Washington,
D.C., in June.

"Now instead of registering

The appearance of the hang
tag will also change. A special
iridescent lamination foil will be
used to cover the permits, said
Van Slyke.
This special coating is being
used to prevent counterfeiting,"
he said.
Another change will be a
change in the procedure for
paying the registration fee.
The system is being converted
to computer, doing away with
the outdated system now being
used," Van Slyke said.
The new system will be tied in

"The appealing of a ticket will

Police Department," he said.
The cost of the permit will

"On a positive note," he said,
"a recent study conducted by
FSU revealed that Auburn University
has the lowest rates for
parking permits of any other
campus in the United States."
Registration for permits will

will handle questions about the
charges.
All parking tickets will be listed
on the billing statement and
payment should be mailed to
the Bursar's office, he said. But
any questions concerning the
validity of tickets should be
addressed to the Auburn University
Police Department.
Any department on campus
can transfer a student's charges
if efforts to collect payment have
failed, he said.
If a student has a late library
book, the charges can be transferred
to the Bursar's Office and
will be billed on the next billing
statement, he said.
The first billing statement will
be mailed about six weeks
before the beginning of the
quarter. The second billing
statement will be mailed two to
three weeks before the quarter,
and the third statement will be
mailed about two to three weeks
after the quarter begins.
The major concern of the Bursar's
Office is that the students
inform the Registrar's Office of
their current addresses.
If a student is enrolled at
Auburn, he said, the billing
statement will be mailed to the
local address.
If a student Is not enrolled,
the statement will be sent to the
mailing address obtained from
the Registrar's Office. But if a
student wants the bill sent to
his parent's address, he should
contact the Bursar's Office.
The new billing system will
also handle distribution of all
University-based financial aid.
Johnston said.
The financial aid will be
applied to charges for the following
quarter, but aid will not
be applied for charges from previous
quarters, he said.
Anyone who has questions
concerning the billing system,
Johnston said, should call the
Bursar's Office at 844-4634.

The Who's
on tour for
your money
The Who's last tour 1982.
The Who's new tour 1989. Now
wait a minute, was The Who's
last the first last, and is this
the second last? Or is this the
last last, and do we have the
last last last to look forward to
next?
Or is it just the second coming?
The Who is back touring the
1 nation and only playing in
massive arenas where they
1 can pack in the most people
9 and milk them for all the
I money they can. They are old,
{|i one of them is dead and they
1 are out to make a buck off of
1 the retro-revival. Not one of
j them has produced anything
!
| worth listening to in years.
When Mick Jagger was
jj asked if the Rolling Stones
I were coming back for the
E money he replied, "No, that is
Si The Who."
Well, they probably are both
in it for the money, but we will
admire Jagger for his wit,
something he rarely shows.
In 1982, the big sponsor was
Shlitz. We are already seeing
the commercialization of this
| on the major video networks. I
I have often thought that the
'i bands of the '60s stood for
I peace, 1#%@ the establishment
l a n d anti-materialism. Now
.' they seem to stand for !#%@
j the public.
j Let's charge outrageous
J prices for tickets, play all, of
;i our old hits, give 'em a really
; bad show and take all their
| money. My God! Pete
:|;Townsend cannot even hear
{what he is playing anymore.
The band turned to Rolling
They gave them an
i interview in which they all
claimed in some form or
another that they are not
? broke.
i
jj John Entwistle even whined
! that the only way he can play
in front of a big audience is
£with The Who. In a time when
•j bands are opting for the smalle
r clubs because they can
Jachieve a better sound, use
'acoustical instruments, etc.,
I Entwistle is whining because
fche can't play in front of large
"audiences.
| There is no doubt that this
'tour is for the money. Tours
"normally are accompanied by
an album. Which is like a
•giant live commercial anyway,
J but if it is a commercial then
I the The Who has been reduced

Stle waif band - Entwistle had

[pay the rent.
The band is playing its old
i "classics" and limiting the play
(of more recent stuff.
My question is simple. Why
J do the youth of today look

I intent? Why cant we come up

Keeping up with the Joneses
By B. Bryan Bittle
Managing Editor
It's 3:30 a.m., July 24, 1989. Fulton Jones
awakes just before his alarm rings, a small workday
habit he picked up some 20 years ago.
But today, his morning ritual is different. Today
begins, as the saying goes, the first day of the rest
of his life.
Instead of turning off the alarm, getting up and
going to work, Jones sleepily reaches over and
slaps the snooze control. Before he drifts back into
his dreams, he thinks how nice it is that someone
else must be worrying about the biscuits for a
change.
It's the first weekday morning since 68-year-old
Jones retired from The Auburn Grille, the 44-
year-old restaurant on College Street which has
become, to quote its motto, "An institution within
itself over the years.
"At 4:45 every morning I would meet one of my
cooks outside the Grille to open the restaurant,
make the biscuits and start the coffee brewing,"
Jones said. "It still hasn't really sunk in yet that I
don't have to get up in the middle of the night
anymore, I guess."
He sold the business recently because of his age
and health problems. He said he already misses
the faces of his regular clientele, the local businessmen,
politicians and students who came for
the Grille's specialty, breakfast Southern-style, or
the home-cooked lunch buffet.
"I don't know whether it's the traditional atmosphere
or the consistency of the food," Jones said.
'The booths have been in there since 1941, and
between them our two cooks, Frank Marshall and
Russelle "Sparky" Pitts, have worked more than 80
years there."
Now that he has time for himself, Jones said
he's doing many of the same things he always has.
He's been working in his small vegetable garden,
picking, canning and freezing the beets, peas,
tomatoes and string beans that he and his wife,
Agness, grew.
"There's been quite a bit of change since we
went into business in 1952," Jones said, "But I
have no regrets. Auburn and the Grille have been
good to us. We've put our daughter (Ophelia) and
two grandkids through school here. And all our
friends, employees and customers - they're still
family to us."

Counterculture
Retro-style reminds
of peace, acid, Dead
By Skip Spearman
Staff Writer
A brotherhood of a different
kind exists in Auburn. One does
not have to go through any formalities
to be accepted; pledging
to be yourself is enough.
Hippie, flowerchild and Dead
Head are all names people give
to those in this group; each
expression is stereotypical to be
sure.
Not everyone associated with
this lot resents the collective
terminology and bias. "I know
they (stereotypes) exist, but they
don't bother me," said Pam Hol-man,
03 ANT.
To wear beads, sandals and
tie-dyed clothes, have long, wily
hair, play hacky-sack, be a vegetarian,
to be a Greenpeace
advocate: these are things many
students think qualify a person
for this clan.
This is not so says Tom Neely,
04 GEH. "I recognize there is a
distinct group of my friends
here, but I resent the stereotype,"
he said. "I don't even own
a tie-dye."
Last fall's sale of tie-dyed
shirts for a fraternity fund-raiser
was ironic, according to Hol-man.
"They laughed at us for
wearing tie-dyes, then one day
everyone on the concourse is
wearing one," she said.
Neely said to mass produce
tie-dyes Is stupid, "the whole
purpose of tie-dyes is to show
each one's individuality."
When asked if he thought
people he associated with were
more original in thought than
others, Neely said, "My friends
are more creative than, say,
those in other groups; but truly
creative people don't go to
groups. Groups come to them."
Scott Wilkerson, 04 GEH, and
Holman agreed their cluster of
friends were similar to a fraternity.
A person goes to a specific
group because he has friends
there and feels comfortable, not
because he does not belong
anywhere else.
Most everyone in the group
goes to the same parties and
hang-outs on weekends. Wilkerson
said. And during the week,
"the concourse, a big, open
place, vs. a fraternity house,
which is confined, is a
metaphorically appropriate
place for us to congregate," he
said.
The prejudice will always exist
between various factions,
according to Wilkerson. "But
stereotypes mean the most to
people who harbor them," he
said.
Bone Dali produces happy sounds from underground
By Mellnda Drewry
Staff Writer
In the fall of 1987, seven
Auburn students from Birmingham
formed a band with the
hope of influencing Auburn's
music scene by creating their
own musical style.
The group. Bone Dali, may do
just that with its first album Xie
(Sha). The release is expected by
the end of August.
"The music ranges from
almost hard metal...to something
that could be found on a
Windham Hill album," said
Daniel Neil, the band's lead
singer and lyric writer.
The music depicts Bone Dali's
unique sound, which has been
influenced by both funk and
blues music, Neil said.
"We feel that it is Alabama's
music; it sounds good, and it's
fun," he said.
A lot of people associate Bone
Dali's sound with hard-core
punk, Neil said.
"Our music doesn't really
have much to do with that
stuff," he said. "But, we have
taken the fun, high energy part
out of that and play real music
to it."
Group's experiments lead to good-time music
while reaching popularity in progressive circle
Bone Dali's music is getting
more sophisticated than when it
first started, said Neil.
"We've learned how to work
with three percussion sets efficiently,
"he said. 'We're also trying
to write songs with more
brass arrangements."
What the band plays may be
weird by most people's standards,
but Bone Dali tries to do
it in a fun way, Neil said.
"We want to present our
music as it is," he said, "and
hope people just have fun and
act like a spastic."
Bone Dali's album is named
after a Chinese guy that rented
a vacant room in the band
house, Neil said.
"He turned out to be the
greatest guy in the world," he
said. "He fit right in; it was like
he had grown up with us."
Although Bone Dali named
the album before the Beijing
incident, Neil said, Xie caused
the band members to look at
the world a bit differently.
"(He) made us realize that the
people there are Just like us,"
Neil said. "Seeing pictures in
China, looking at those people's
faces, and knowing Xie made
me realize that they could be
any number of my friends."
"That's fine and good - that
pays the rent. But a college
community ought to be a place
where you can try new stuff."
Auburn is ready to have a
cultural scene of its own, one
that is not an importation of
Athens, Ga., Neil said.
'If we get rich as a by-product, I won't
complain. But, if I wanted to make
money, I'd have taken the business
classes my dad told me to.'
- Daniel Neil
Before the band formed, Neil
said he and another group
member realized that the vision
of what music could be was not
being fulfilled in Auburn.
"Bands were playing the same
old songs over and over again,"
he said. "Any original music was
building on themes of Bruce
Sprlngstein. The most daring in
Auburn was an R.E.M. style.
"In Athens, R.E.M. did a good
job creating something new," he
said. "But, it was so good that
no one wants to go beyond that.
'The Athens scene is kind of
dark, depressed, dreary and
poetic. When I think of Athens, I
think of cloudy, winter afternoons
and somebody wearing a
turtleneck."
Bone Dali is not a slave to any
certain style, the lead singer
said. "We're a band without an
image," he said.
"I thought we'd die here. I
thought we'd be absolutely the
most hated band in Auburn,"
Neil said. "But, we have diversified
in audience since we started
because people say it's just
'feel good, have fun kind of
music,' that's the best compliment
we could ever hope for."
Bone Dali's long-range plans
are to acquire a record contract
and to find a tour. However, for
now, the group's sights are set
on being a big band in the alternative
club circuit, Neil said.
They have played at clubs in
Birmingham, Atlanta and New
Orleans. Bone Dali will also be
opening for Drivin' and Cryin' at
the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre
in Birmingham on July 28.
"It's hard to ignore the success,"
Neil said. "But as long as
we have fun and do what we
want to do, we're willing to put
up with all the nonsense of the
business stuff."
"If we get rich as a by-product,
I won't complain. But, if I
wanted to make money, I'd have
taken the business classes my
dad told me to."

French suspends WEGL personnel
By Kristin Mackenzie
Staff Writer
On June 30, house cleaning
went on at the WEGL studio.
Four long-time employees of the
station were suspended by newcomer
Robert French.
The indefinite suspensions
are the result of an unauthorized
morning broadcast by the
four students.
Clay Crook, former station
manager, Al Adcock, chief engineer,
Bob Nance, former chief
engineer and David Hadarits,
assistant engineer, were asked
to leave indefinitely as a result
of the morning show, according
to Station Manager Robert
French.
"The four students put together
three hours of programming
that was not approved by the
program director. The program
director called and asked them
to stop and they did not. That is
the reason for their suspension,"
French said.
Adcock and Hadarits were
both suspended for one week.
They then were to meet with the
program director and station
manager to discuss the situation.
Crook was immediately suspended
for one quarter starting
from the time of the incident
and Nance was already an inactive
announcer, French said.
Adcock did not come in for his
meeting one week later, however
Hadarits did and was dismissed
as a station engineer, Armistead
said.
"At the meeting I then decided
that he (Hadarits) was not capable
of being an engineer," he
said.
Adcock said as far as the
show itself, the announcers
used the correct format, such
as varying music format, talking
during the breaks and using the
word "weegle," Adcock said.
"We followed the format, got
lots of calls and basically had a
good time," he said. "French got
upset, took it personal and fired
us. He hasn't been very receptive
to our ideas."
Crook said, "The management
believed that if French didn't act
in the fashion and discipline
like this, no one would ever listen
to French. Mr. French will
say that he has done us a favor,
but I think it was a power struggle
and they have overreacted."
"Personnel-wise this was a big
mistake, and French has alienated
at least three of the most
talented people at the station.
He's cut his own throat," Nance
said.
Since their suspension,
Nance, Adcock and Hadarits
have started their own broadcast
engineering firm called
"Sunbelt Broadcast Technologies."
Adcock said they are performing
the same services for other
radio stations that Hadarits and
he did as WEGL engineers.
As far as these announcers'
involvement at the station,
Armistead said, "It's a shame
they are not a part of the station
anymore."
Exchange program seeking host families
By Jennifer Wynn
Features Editor
Alack of time and money
may prevent travel to
other countries, but with
an exchange student, a host
family may trade cultures as
well as friendship, American
Intercultural Student Exchange
(AISE) said.
"It's a parent to child relationship,"
AISE Director of Cummu-nications
Belinda Grull said.
The organization is currently
seeking host families for students
from countries such as
Denmark, Belgium, Ecuador
and Spain. The students, ages
15 to 18, are selected by grades
and interviews.
They will arrive in the United
States in August 1989 and
return in June 1990.
'We have an urgent need for
homes for boys," Grull said in a
phone interview.
The host family provides room
and board for the student, and
the family receives a tax deduction
of $50 a month. The students
bring their own spending
money, she said.
"They are taught funny things
about our political system," she
said. 'When they go back they
can tell them how it is.
"Our families find out that
kids from Brazil don't live in
trees; they do have cars."
AISE has sent several thousand
students abroad In the
past 10 years, she said. These
include American students.

Abortion: For Survival
WTBS
• • *
Last S u n d a y evening Ted
Turner presented Abortion: For '
Survival a documentary detailing
the most divisive debate in
America today.
Following t h e s h ow was a
forum with pro a n d con sides
represented by two people each,
which lasted a n hour. It was
i n t e r r u p t e d by news-like segments
and t h r e e pleas to t he
audience to j o in in The Better
World Society, the sponsor of
the feature.
T u r n e r gave approximately
$400,000 to air the show which
offered the solution to two main
troubles - unwanted children
and world over-population.
Three general topics could be
recognized from viewing the 90-
minute special.
For e x a m p l e , " r i g h t s " a re
t h i n g s which need n u r t u r i ng
and almost constant attention
to be kept alive. Whether you
t h i n k abortion a right or not,
t h e r e a r e some rights which,
though unalienable, can be lost
if they a r e forgotten.
Thus, we all should read and
contemplate the thought of our
founding fathers so a s to nurt
u r e our r i g h t s p a s t the year
2000.
Secondly, T u r n e r ' s property
can be t u r n e d to the e n d s of
pro-abortion dogma. But it falls
on the public to have competence
in dealing with arguments
of any angle of a n y public policy
debate.
TV Review
And it is in the third general
area, that pure debate is thrown
in the face of t h e viewing public
in favor of a n emotional plea for
pro-abortion policies.
I can say this because of two
major flaws detectable in t he
presentation of The Better World
Society.
First,the producers used emo-

tlonal words, phrases and photographs
instead of solid arguments
to b u t t r e s s their conclusions.
Finally, in the forum section,
the producers chose the least
calm and most unarticulate person
to defend the pro-life position.
Nellie Gray, a grating personality,
drew ire to her cause
and channeled sympathy to the
ever self-effacing pro-choicers.
Indeed Gray "feels" abortion is
wrong. When she answered that
she "feels," Gray set both feet of
her argument onto the playing
field of t h e pro-choicer. That
field rests on the argument that,
in America, what one feels is
what one should do.
It is in these two points that
pro-choicers should strengthen
to add credibility to their movement,
and it is especially consoling
to note that even in hearing
positions with which one
disagrees, good can only spring
forth.

iWooden bats
i
may not last
; much longer
In 1961, Major League Base-
• ball expanded to more than 16
! teams, the first change in the
» number since 1901.
' A few years later, artificial
| turf was introduced to the big
. leagues.
I In 1973, American League
I owners voted to add a 10th
' player, a designated hitter, to
i the lineup.
This year, the American
^League won its second consec-i
utive All-Star game.
Is nothing in baseball
..sacred?
• Apparently not.
In the July 24 edition of
Sports Illustrated, Peter Gam-mons
predicts the influx of
aluminum bats into the major
leagues by the year 2000.
There are no words to
'describe the horror a baseball
;purist suffers just imagining
•the first ping! of the bat in
spring training.
» Baseball's record books
jwould probably be rewritten if
aluminum were introduced to
^the majors. The difference in
bats is less in how far a well-
•hlt ball will go, but in how far
•a poorly-hit ball will travel.
With an aluminum bat, even
•if a batter hits the ball off the
handle or only gets a piece of
•it, he is still likely to hit a line-
'drive or get the ball out of the
Unfleld.
Aluminum bats have already
,'had a tremendous effect on
Hhe major leagues. Pitchers get
to pro ball shell-shocked from
lacing men with aluminum
bats less than 60 feet away.
I Somewhere along the line,
Ipitchers must learn to do so.
*Jit least for now.
The sad part of the situation
is that Gammons' article is
incredibly persuasive. Virtually
no one gives wooden bats
much of a chance to survive.
And unlike a baseball argument
recently addressed in
-The Plainsman (when college
baseball should be played,
spring or summer), this issue
Js a simple one that boils down
tto two things: availability of
quality wood and money.
Major league players are
Using more and more bats
each season. They claim that
the quality of wood is so poor
that the bats break more easily.
Bat producers say that the
players shave the handles so
thin that they break easier.
That part of the discussion
isn't so simple.
The financial side of things
Js clear, however.
I One $70 aluminum bat can
last all season while Gammons
•quotes North Carolina coach
Mike Roberts as saying that
his team would probably use
more than 50 dozen wooden
.bats In a season (at nearly
#8.000 total).
I That's hard to argue.
But back to the discussion
i>f the quality of wood.
All phases of every sport
Jevolve and during the last several
years, players using wood-
•» ,en bats have grown to favor
.big-barreled, thin-handled
!bats. These are much lighter,
fallowing the hitter to generate
imore bat speed and, thus,
^nore power. It also causes the
bats to break much easier.
When most major leaguers
yeceive their bats, they Imme-

Possibly a way to avert hav-
' 4ng to use aluminum bats in
«the majors would be to place
restrictions on how thin the

this will make a significant difference
in the number of bats

i a y , but it would be a good
?first step toward saving the

Wanna trade?
Once just a pastime for kids,
baseball cards are big business
By Kimberly Bacon
Staff Writer
Would you ever spend a million dollars on a
2 1 / 2 x 3 1 / 2 -inch piece of cardboard?
Well, early this summer, someone did - a
1932 Fred "Lindy" Lindstrom baseball card
was sold at auction for $1 million to a buyer
who wished to remain unidentified. Lindstrom
was a third baseman who played with four
major league clubs in the '20s and '30s.
The card was one of a series that was
thought never to have been printed, according
to Baseball Card Alphabetical Checklist, a
book published biannually by Sport Americana.
Baseball card collecting is a hot trend today,
becoming a billion-dollar industry in the last
decade. Millions of Americans collect cards as
a hobby, and some even pursue card collecting
as a business.
Auburn is no exception: baseball cards are
bought and sold by the thousands in almost
every food and convenience store. In fact, card
collecting and trading has become so popular
that an establishment popped up last year for
the sole purpose of buying, selling and bartering
baseball cards, and has been doing brisk
business ever since.
However, card trading is unique in that it
retains many elements of old-fashioned child's
play.
Just ask one of the owners of Three Blind
Umps on East Magnolia Avenue. Gregg Glasscock
and his partner, William "Chick" Wade,
set up a baseball card exchange center in an
alcove of their sporting goods store last July,
and Glasscock said they have fared quite well.
He said people buy and sell in varying volumes,
from one pack at a time to $2,100
worth in one visit.
"Most of the time, we get treated like a pawn
shop, especially at the end of the quarter,
when students need extra cash," Glasscock
said.
An avid baseball' fan himsislf, Glasscock
explained how he got into the trade during an
afternoon interview in his store.
"I started collecting cards with my brother
when we were kids, and somehow, mine just
never got thrown away," he said. "Actually,
I've always been more interested in the players
themselves than the collecting. I think that's
the way it is with most people."
Shuffling through the top drawer of his
desk, he fished out a few cards from his own
collection.
"This card here is in high demand right
now," Glasscock said, holding up a 1988 Billy
Ripken card. "See if you notice anything
unusual."
At first glance, nothing looks out of the ordinary,
but under close scrutiny, Glascock said,
it sticks out - an obscenity is engraved in
large black letters at the end of Ripken's bat.
Ripken's shocking prank that slipped by the
Topps company has shot the card's value up
to $25. The censored versions, which conceal
the offensive words in a variety of ways, are
worth about twice as much, Glasscock said.
Flaws like these frequently slip on to store
shelves undetected until someone points out
the error; then the value of the card almost
always goes up, Glasscock said.
He then pulled a Dale Murphy card from his
desk. The image of the second baseman's photograph
had been reversed, making the word
"Braves" appear backwards on his jersey.
Glasscock said this card is worth about $50.
"But mostly, it's the player's performance
that determines a card's value," Glasscock
said. "Like Kevin Mitchell - he never did anything
before this year - but now that he's got
32 home runs, 80 RBI and may break Roger
Maris' record for hitting the most home runs
in a single season next year, his card is worth
a lot more."
Glasscock said he stocks his store's shelves
and his personal collection from individual
sellers who advertise in Sports Collector's
Digest, a weekly trade magazine.
"Yeah," he said, leaning back in his chair,
"card collecting isn't what it used to be.
There's big money in it now, so it pays to be
knowledgeable about it and use all the information
that's available to you."
The most valuable cards at Three Blind
Umps are in a glass display case which
include a $350 Hank Aaron rookie card, a
$175 Reggie Jackson card and a $90 Pete
Rose rookie card.
Many local collectors would like to get their
hands on one of those cards, especially one
particular Auburn student who comes into
Three Blind Umps every day.
Thomas James Alford, 02 PB, said he has
spent his spare time collecting and trading
cards since he was 8 years old.
Alford said he tracked down complete sets of
Topps baseball cards over several years of
trading.
'When I would get a bunch of duplicates, I
would sell and trade right and left," he said.
"I'd advertise what I had in Sports Collector's
Digest, and before long I would get up to seven
letters a day from people wanting to buy them.
'To really enjoy it (card collecting), you just
gotta be a big baseball fan," Alford said.
But while some, like Alford. collect baseball
cards as a hobby, and others, like Glasscock,
make baseball cards their business, there are
some collectors 4fho get them'because'base-ball
is an integral part of their lives.
And to Auburn baseball players like Clark
Preble and Jeff Leatherman, baseball cards
are something that hit closer to home. For
them, the sentiment attached to card collecting
runs deeper, for it is blended with hopes of
someday being on one of those cards themselves.
Preble is a graduating senior who ended a
stellar collegiate career as Auburn's left fielder
with a .347 batting average. He has been collecting
baseball cards since 1971.
Preble said he'll spend no more than $10 a
week on baseball cards. Last week's purchase
- 25 rookie cards of his old teammate, hometown
neighbor and lifelong friend, Gregg
Olson. Olson, an Ail-American pitcher for
Auburn, was a first round draft choice in
1988 and now pitches for the Baltimore Orioles.
When asked to estimate the value of his collection,
Leatherman said he has never bothered
to find out, because to him, their richness
lies in their profound sentimental value.
With eyes alight as a child's while sifting
through his 1988 Topps, he said earnestly,
'There'd have to be some major stock market
crash or big hospital bills before I'd get rid of
these."
There are some things you just can't put a
price tag on.
Griffin looks to improve SEC, national ranking
By Randy Peitsch
Staff Writer
The Auburn men's golf team
qualified for regional and
Fifth in a series
national playoffs by beating
Alabama three straight times to
highlight last season. Auburn
coach Mike Griffin looks ahead
to an even better performance
next year.
Q. How will this year's
recruiting class contribute to
the team?
A. We anticipate that Shane
Supple is likely to come in and
have a pretty good collegiate
career. We're expecting good
things out of him.
In recent years, I can't recall
anyone having the performance
level that he had at the Future
Master's Tournament in
Dothan, Ala. He was also fortunate
to go to the National High
School Championships and
bring that title back. He has
really set some records. We certainly
believe he is going to have
an opportunity to contribute
and to contribute pretty last for
us.
The second signee we got is
Joey Davis. He recently won the
Southern Junior Invitational
here in Auburn. We think he
likely could come in and get
some pretty fast playing time
right off the bat.
Q. Who is the key performer
next year?
A. Hiroshi Matsuo could be
the difference in whether we are
a great team this year, or
'Auburn is going to
be as good or better
than we were
last year.'
- Mike Griffin
whether we're just another good
golf team.
Hiroshi has the ability to be a
whale of a player. He just couldn't
get anything going last year.
Maybe it was a sophomore
slump, I don't know. But we're
certainly hoping his junior year
he can play like he's capable of
playing, because if we're going
to be a true, bona fide SEC contender
this year, most of it is
going to rest on what he's going
to do.
Q. What was last year's most
memorable moment?
A Probably the regional playoffs.
In the first round of the
regional playoffs, we lead the
thing. We're beating the No. 2
ranked team in the country and
several other teams right there
in that tournament to earn a
bid to go to the National Championships
in Oak Tree, Okla.
And, as luck would have it, we
ended up tied for fifth at the
regional playoffs.
Q. How does Auburn fit into
this year's SEC race?
A Florida won last year, and
they didn't lose a person, so
there's no question in my mind
that they are going to be the
team to beat next year. LSU will
be one of the strong contenders.
Georgia, as well, will be one of
the stronger contenders In our
SEC.
Auburn is going to be as good
or better than we were last year,
Griffin
and I think we'll be in the hunt
for certainly a top-five position.
If our players play to their ability,
we can contend with anyone
in the SEC.
Q. What is the key tournament
next year?
Plainsman files
A. The most important tournament
on our schedule withr
out question is the SEC Championships.
And if we do well
there, then we know we'll be
going to the playoffs, and if we
go to the playoffs, we have a
shot at doing something at
Nationals.

pioneering,
innovating
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
Sitting on the bench isn't
usualry that great, unless you're
the team physician who has
been relied upon to keep athletes
on the field and in the
action for the past 37 years.
In 1952, Dr. Jack Hughston
asked football coach Ralph
"Snug" Jordon if he could use
an orthopedic specialist on the
team. The coach had never
heard of one before. Hughston
said, but was willing to give him
a chance.
"He (Hughston) pioneered
sports medicine." head trainer
Herb Waldrop said, "and he's
responsible for making it what it
is today."
Two weeks ago. Hughston was
jjhonored in Birmingham by the
£ Southeast Conference Trainers
'Association with the Sports
{'Medicine Doctor of the Year
J Award.
Hughston, 72. is founder of
i:the Columbus-based Hughston
''Sports Medicine Hospital. For
•^almost 30 years, he was the
only orthopedic doctor that
; Auburn needed.
But. about seven years ago,
•rhe introduced Drs. Lyle Norwood
and Kurt Jacobson to
^Auburn athletics. They have

"Bo Jackson had a third-
Cdegree shoulder separation in
1984 that could have kept him
out for 10 to 12 weeks," Waldrop
said. "After surgery at

in four weeks."
During Hughston's tenure, he

teams start using chalk to mark
lines on the football field, since
it was safer than lye, which
caused skin burns.
"We also reduced knee ligament
injuries by 50 percent in
the NCAA by getting rid of
blocks below the waist," Hughston
said.
Hughston said he used a film
of the Tigers playing the Florida
Gators to show NCAA officials
how many injuries the blocks
caused.
He was instrumental to making
mouthpieces a requirement
for NCAA football players, as
well as enforcing the need for
better padding in helmets, he
said.
Hughston also worked with
Auburn's trainers to develop
stretching exercises that greatly
reduced ankle sprains and
hamstring injuries, he said.
"I can call the doctors at 9 or
10 at night with a problem and
they'll come right now," Waldrop
said. "It makes my job a lot easier
knowing that our athletes
are taken care of."
Norwood devotes his attention
to the football team each Tuesday
during training, while
Hughston and Jacobson join
the action during football
games.
Jacobson works with track
and field athletes, gymnasts and
the Lady Tiger Basketball team
during training. He also spends

dent Health Center, attending to
orthopedic injuries suffered
during intramurals or in other
activities.
Hughston and his staff offered
orthopedic service to Auburn
athletes for free during the first
10-15 years, he said, until the
NCAA required medical insurance
for athletes.
According to Waldrop, Hughston
has done between 12 and
20 operations on Auburn athletes
so far this year.
As Reggie Slack takes the
reigns for another season, he
will be bringing success and
experience with him.
Slack will be entering the
1989 football season with 14
starts to his credit, as compared
to having only two upon entering
the 1988 season. This will
be important to a team that lost
many experienced starters at
the close of last season.
"I enjoy being a motivator and
leader," Slack said. "This type of
position is not a new one to me.
I was in this situation in my
senior year of high school."
Even though Slack is in the
driver's seat for next season, he
said he believes there will not be
just one leader, but 11 quality
leaders and everyone will have
the motivation it takes to put
together a championship season.
Despite the lack of experience
he had at the beginning of last
season, he had an excellent
year. He was named All-SEC,
completed 168 of 279 passes for
2,230 yards and nine touchdowns,
had a 60.2 percent completion
record (second-best in
Auburn history), and went over
the 2,000-yard mark In passing
faster than any other quarterback
at Auburn. The only blemish
on Slack's records are the
11 interceptions of last season.
"I would like to have another
good year and Improve in cer-
•| would like to be
an Ail-American
next season.'
- Reggie Slack
tain areas," Slack said of next
season. "I need to cut down on
interceptions and be able to
throw the ball a little deeper."
"Florida managed to shut
down our passing game, but
used our running game effectively
which we could not do
against LSU. In the Florida
State game on the last drive, I
managed to keep my cool,
something I realized I needed to
do because of the LSU game."
Preseason predictions do not
bother Slack since he said he
does not put much faith in
them. He said he believes they
do not matter because they get
most of their information from
last season.
More importantly he gets his
confidence from how he feels
going into the next season and
the way the team looks.
"I feel our offense is balanced
- maybe better than last year's,"
Slack said. "The only position in
question right now is the tight
ends. We have to replace some
quality people like Walter
Reeves."
Slack said he would not only
like to improve on his performance
of last year, but would
like to go out a winner. This
would help his chances of going
into professional football, which
is a major goal for him personally.
"I would like to be an All-
American next season and win a
national championship," Slack
said. "This would be great for
me and the team. With a little
luck and a lot of hard work I
believe I can enter the pros,
possibly as a first round draft
pick."

Editor's note: This is the first
of a three-part series previewing
SEC football for 1989.
By David S. Paschall
Staff Writer
Mississippi State
Halfway through the 1986
season, Mississippi State was
coasting with a 6-1 record, a
spot in the nation's top 20, and
victories over highly regarded
Tennessee, Florida and Syracuse.
Since then, however, these
Bulldogs from Starkville have
bottomed out, going 5-21
including a current 10-game
losing streak.
State must start from square
one in 1989, Rockey Felker's
fourth year at the helm.
Felker does have a chance to
build the Bulldogs back up in
1989 with the r e t u r n of 16
starters.
Quarterback Tony Shell, who
threw four touchdown passes
against both Georgia and Alabama
last year, returns for his
junior season.
State fans hope running back
David Fair returns to old form
after a knee injury. Fair, one of
Felker's most noted signees, is
back for his junior season after
rushing for only 103 yards in
1988.
Defensively, inside linebacker
James Williams returns for his
senior season and hopes to
improve a defense that finished
last in the conference in rushing
and scoring defense in 1988.
Mississippi State finished 0-7
in the SEC last year and has
won only seven conference
games in the last seven years.
Although some improvement
should be shown over last season's
1-10 fiasco, many feel the
Bulldogs are still light years
away from cracking the Southeastern
Conference's first division.
Tough road games at
Georgia, Florida, Auburn,
Alabama and LSU could spell
more league play misery for the
Maroon and White.
Kentucky
Head coach Jerry Claiborne
heads into his eighth season
with a great deal of optimism.
For the first time in more than a
decade, Claiborne, along with
Wildcat fans, may witness a
Kentucky team with enough talent
to challenge for the conference's
upper echelon.
On offense, Claiborne is looking
for Chuck Broughton to
replace the graduated Glen
Fohr. At 6-foot-4 and 230
pounds, Broughton may be one
of the only quarterbacks who
can see over and around the
mammoth Wildcat front line.
All-SEC talent Mike Pfeifer is
6-foot-7, 300 pounds and
anchors an offensive line that
averages 292 pounds.
This line should open up
holes for running back Alfred
Rawls who rushed for more
than 100 yards in last year's
16-10 upset over Georgia.
Defensive tackle Oliver Bar-nett,
already tabbed by some as
All-American, steers a defense
containing seven returning
starters and the ancient wide-tackle
six formation. Barnett,
who grew up in Auburn, should
team with defensive end Tony
Massey to provide a competitive
front line.
The schedule within the conference
is once again difficult as
Alabama, Auburn, Florida,
Georgia, LSU and Tennessee
must all tangle with the Wildcats.
After bowl appearances in
1983 and 1984, Kentucky has
managed to win only five games
in each of its last four seasons.
To have a bowl caliber campaign
in 1989, Kentucky must
perform better within the SEC.
In 1988, the Wildcats did knock
off Georgia but fell to Alabama,
Florida, LSU and Tennessee,
each time by five points or less.
Kentucky fans are hoping
their improving Wildcats can
r e t u r n to the bowl scene in
1989.
Louisiana State
J u s t how good was LSU in
1988, and how good will LSU be
in 1989?
Last year the Tigers finished a
decent 8-4, but by the time
Syracuse was hammering them
23-10 in the Hall of Fame Bowl,
even head coach Mike Archer
had to be wondering how good
his squad was.
Although Archer is in his
third year at LSU, many feel he
has yet to prove himself as a
coach. Archer's record stands at
an outstanding 18-5-1, but he
was handed overflowing talent
from former coach Bill Arns-barger.
He must prove in these
next two or three years he can
win with his own players.
Many Tiger fans thought last
year's 8-4 mark was a sign of
mild underachievement.
Talent runs strong again this
year in Baton Rouge. Four-year
starter Tommy Hodson returns
for his final go-around and will
try to garner Heisman Trophy
attention.
Harvey Williams, who rushed
for more than 1,000 yards in
1987, returns after missing all
of 1988 because of knee
surgery. If Williams does not
perform up to expectations, look
for big-play Eddie Fuller to fill
the void. Fuller caught the winning
touchdown against Auburn
which essentially earned LSU a
share of the 1988 conference
title with Auburn.
LSU might have the best one-two
wide receiver punch in the
conference with seniors Alvin
Lee and Tony Moss.
Defensively only four starters
return, but that does include
standout defensive end Karl
Dunbar. There is young depth
that must mature quickly in
order to stop the offenses of
Texas A&M and Florida State.
Conference tilts against
Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky
and Florida should determine
whether LSU will be staying instate
on New Year's Day.
Football walk-ons face difficult hurdles
By Mary Spearman
Staff Writer
The road to playing on an
SEC team is rough for many
walk-on football players.
However, the 12th man is an
I active force in Auburn football.
"It's rough for somebody to
walk on because walk-ons are
looked down on by the scholarship
players. They start out at
, the very bottom," said Steve
' Brown, a former walk-on who
earned a scholarship.
Walk-ons play varsity sports
without any financial aid.
'. "A walk-on must take advantage
of any opportunity he gets
to show his talent."
Walk-ons practice with the
scholarship athletes and the
.same rigid schedule is expected
of them, but a lot of walk-ons
practice on the scout team. We
pretend they are the team we
will be playing the following
week, Brown said.
The walk-ons run routes
which that particular team will
run. This gives the varsity athletes
an idea of what type of
plays the opposing team will
use.
The efforts of walk-ons are
appreciated by the coaches as
well as other players, according
to Brown.
"The walk-ons work just as
hard as we do. They are making
us better," Brown said. "I appreciate
them a lot."
Even though walk-ons in
Auburn's revenue sports can be
acknowledged, a walk-on has to
work hard for recognition.
Lou Priester, a walk-on from
Montgomery, said, "You're the
underdog being a walk-on. You
have to come from behind. The
scholarship athletes already
have a step ahead, and the
coaches look at them first."
Although being a walk-on
does affect an athlete's playing
time, coach Pat Dye said he
wants the best man on the field
whether it is a walk-on or scholarship
player, Priester said.
"In his eyes, if you're good
enough to play," Priester said,
"you're going to play."
Priester's teammate, senior
walk-on Charles Kelly, looks at
this situation differently.
"I don't know if it so much
affects our playing time," he
said. "It's hard to move up from
a walk-on. There's no question
about it. You just have to persevere
and wait your turn.
"I really believe if you wait-long
enough and work while you

everything will turn up
right and you'll earn playing
time."
Kelly and Priester agree that
this is the main difference
between walk-ons and scholarship
players.
"They get their school paid for
and we don't. That's the biggest
difference." Kelly said. "When it
comes down to playing, it really
comes down to the best player
at that position."
When working to earn a football
scholarship, a. walk-on
must get the coach's attention
and then keep it.
'You've got to commit yourself
100 percent to the game. You've
got to study your plays and do
he extra work," Priester said.
