Local Associate Vice President for
Academic Affairs Jack Black­burn
said Tuesday the board of
trustees may consider a cap on
enrollment at the University.
Blackburn told the University
Senate that the trustees may
place a ceiling of 20,000 under­graduate
and 2,000 graduate
students on admissions, but
said the matter must still be
taken up by the board's Plan­ning
and Policy Committee.
The next board meeting is
scheduled for Aug. 18.
State
As hundreds of state officials
face recommendations of prose­cution
by the state Ethics Com­mission
for not filing financial
statements, local officials are
apparently in the clear.
Even though more than 500
officials have not filed their
statements, Lee County, Opeli-ka
and Auburn officials are not
on any of the lists. Ethics Com­mission
staffer Rosa Lawson
said Monday.
Nation
A study released Monday by
state securities regulators said
con artists that claim religious
ties or divtae.investing knowl­edge
have cheated thousands of
Americans out of more than
$450 million during the past
five years.
A major contributor to the
success of the swindlers is the
growth of religious-oriented
radio stations, cable television
programs and magazines, the
study said.
In one of the scams outlined
by the report, a former preacher
and Sunday school teacher, who
is now serving four years in
prison, convinced more than
600 people in 20 states that he
was blessed by God with
extraordinary business abilities.
World
Sources in China now say
June's Tiananmen Square mas­sacre
in Beijing was brought on
by a panicking leadership and
an untrained, isolated military,
*• according to a Scripps-
Howard/Toronto Globe and
Mail report Wednesday.
The report blames the June 3
attack on pro-democratic
demonstrators, which were
mostly student-led, on the con­servative
leadership's attempts
to remove from power a pro-reform
faction led by Commu­nist
Party Chairman Zhao
Ziyang.
Two months later, the People's
Liberation Army still has more
than 300,000 troops in Beijing,
the report said.
Weather
Today should be mostly
cloudy with a 30 percent
"* chance of rain. The high will
be 80 degrees. This weekend
the highs will increase to the
a upper 80s with lows of 65 and
scattered showers.
North Florida: The beaches
won't be as nice as Auburn
" because of a frontal system
that is hanging around the

Senate debates new college standards
By Matt Smith
News Editor
To the surprise of many of Its
members, the University Senate
found itself in a position Tues­day
to approve proposed aca­demic
standards of individual
colleges of the University, which
previously went directly to Pres­ident
James Martin and the
Board of Trustees.
Senators were asked to vote
on recommendations from the
Academic Standards Committee
concerning new policies in the
College of Science and Mathe­matics
and the College of Busi­ness
that impose penalties on
students with a GPA below 2.0.
Panhellenic
takes No. 1
spot in U.S.
By Wade Williams
Assistant News Editor
Auburn can place another
trophy in the case this year. The
Panhellenic Council was named
the top council in the nation by
the National Panhellenic Confer­ence
(NPC) on Aug. 4.
Debbie Shaw, Panhellenic
adviser, said the award war
unexpected.
'We felt pretty confident that
we would place, but we didn't
think we would get number one
in the nation. We were definitely
surprised," she said.
"The award is presented for
constructive public relations
programming in the areas of
scholarship, good health, high
standards and community ser­vice,"
Shaw said.
The NPC consists of all 26
national sorority presidents and
other national officers, said
Shaw. The award, which is
called the "Fraternity Month
Award" is given every two years,
she said.
"The name Is a little mislead­ing,"
Shaw said, "but it's termed
that because it's over two full
years you must show consisten­cy
with your program month
after month."
Auburn's Panhellenic Council
consists of about 50 members,
with delegates from each of the
15 sororities on campus, Shaw
said.
Liz Burley, summer president
of Panhellenic, said she didn't
See NO. 1, page 10
But several members ques­tioned
the Senate's jurisdiction
in such matters - particularly
the business plan, which pre­vents
any student with less
than a 2.0 from taking 300-level
courses and above.
Academic Standards Chair­man
Gary Swanson said the
Senate needs to decide which
matters belong before it and
which should be handled by the
colleges themselves.
'There are certain aspects of
the problem that I think proba­bly
should be reviewed by the
entire Senate," Swanson said.
"There are others that I think
are a waste of our time - but so
far, we don't have a clear way to
divide which ones are which."
"Should a college have the
right to control students that
4re not in their college?" he
asked. "It's an open question,
and I don't know the answer,
but I think we're going to have
to grapple with that one sepa­rately
from doing it college by
college."
Senate Chairman Miller Sol­omon
said, "I feel it's necessary
that there be general guidelines
about what colleges can do
autonomously, on their own Ini­tiative.
When it comes to mak­ing
decisions that apply only to
their majors within the individ­ual
schools, then I think it
becomes a debatable matter
whether this body should be
concerned with it.
"This was sprung on the
Senate today without any prior
discussion. It was probably pre­mature
to bring it up for a vote
even.
"We got into it because the
Academic Standards Committee
is a Senate committee, but
heretofore, it had been making
its recommendations to the
president without reporting to
the Senate," he said.
Academic Affairs Vice-Presi­dent
Ronald Henry has request­ed
that the committee now send
its proposals to the Senate for
review before submitting them
to the president, Solomon said.
Many senators expressed con­cern
that with the business pro­posal,

Higgins: Slain Marine was AUM grad
By Melissa
Staff Writer
Denney
Two professors at Auburn
University in Montgomery
remember slain Marine Lt. Col.
William R. Higgins not only as a
good student, but also as a
friend.
"Col. Higgins was a very nice
guy. He's the kind of person you
would want to live next door to
you," said Dr. Anne Permaloff,
professor of political science at
AUM.
Higgins was allegedly hanged
by Shiite Moslem captors on
July 31, at 7 a.m. CDT.
The Organization of the
Oppressed on Earth claim Hig­gins
was executed in retaliation
of the capture of Sheik Abdul
Karim Obeid. a Shiite Moslem
clergyman, by Israeli comman­dos.
Higgins was serving as head
of the United Nations peace­keeping
force observer group in
southern Lebanon when he was
kidnaped Feb. 17. 1987. His
captors accused him of spying
for the Central Intelligence
Agency.
Higgins received a master's
degree in political science from
AUM In June 1980, Permaloff
said. He was in the contract
program at Maxwell Air Force
Base, which is an evening mas­ter's
degree program held
directly on the base, Permaloff
said.

Institute working on moon base plans
By Suzanne Rauch
Staff Writer
Twenty years after Nell Arm­strong
took his first "giant leap
for mankind" by walking on the
moon, Auburn is ready to take
the second step by helping to
put a lunar base there.
The University's Space Power
Institute is being funded by
NASA to create a computer
model that will simulate the
power requirements needed to
build and maintain a colony on
the moon, according to Assis­tant
Electrical Engineering Pro­fessor
Lloyd Gordon, the project
head.
The project began in mid-
June and is expected to take
approximately three years to
complete, he said.
'The purpose of the project,"
Gordon said, "is to provide a
model for NASA to optimize a
power systems design for a
lunar colony.
"We are using an optimum
design, using a computer model
for the calculations to determine
what the power requirements
would be in order to live on the
moon."
A mathematical model will be
used to calculate whether a par­ticular
power system will work
and be maintainable on the
moon, Gordon said.
'The model will be large and
complex. We will be modeling
small parts of it over the next
few years before putting the
whole model together," he said.
Currently the project is in Its
early stage, said Krista Gaus-tad,
06 EE, the student head of
the project.
"I'm Just gathering informa­tion
for the data base right now.
This should take about one
month. I hope that In six
months I will be doing the com­puter
model simulation," Gaus-tad
said.
The seven major elements
include power sources, energy
storage, manufacturing sources
from the lunar soil, the environ­ment,
life support, transporta­tion,
thermal sources for the
using and disposing of waste
heat and power transmission.
"Each of these elements could
also be divided up into 20 sub-units,"
Gaustad said. "It's like
trying to develop a small city up
there." Art by David Cosby
Martin last year, non-business
majors who needed business
courses to graduate would be
locked out.
Despite the Academic Stan­dards
Committee's recommen­dation,
the Senate voted 26-25
to reject the plan which was
tentatively scheduled for imple­mentation
by fall 1990.
Solomon cast the tie-breaking
vote but said the proposal
should be re-submitted at the
Senate's next meeting in Octo­ber.
"It was disapproved by a close
vote, with no imputation that
there will be final disapproval
based on the need that we need
more information and clarifica­tion,"
Solomon said.
Computers
stolen from
2 buildings
By Melissa Denney
Staff Writer
University Police are following
leads on two incidents involving
the theft of two computers on
campus last week, AUPD
spokesman Capt. Melvin Owens
said Monday.
There were no signs of forced
entry in either case, Owens
said.
Two personal computers, two
printers and several disks were
reported as stolen from Thach
Hall on Aug. 3, at about 9 a.m.,
Owens said.
An Apple computer and ac­cessories
were reported taken
from an office in Eaves Memori­al
Coliseum on Aug. 4, at about
2:50 p.m., he said.
The total estimated cost was
around $6,000, Owens said.
Owens said the computers
were not taken for resale, bui
for personal use.
Some of the computers that
were taken were nunected to
the Administration Information
Management System (AIMS),
according to Richard Burnett,
Associate Director for Technical
Support at University Comput­ing,
but Burnett said confiden­tial
University and student
records are not at risk.
"Only an authorized user with
a valid password can access
AIMS," he said. "Additionally,
the machines must be connect­ed
to the network, and -:-ince
they have been physically
removed, they are no longer
connected."
'The fact that there are no
signs of forced entry does not
mean that there are missing
master keys," Owens said.
Someone could have failed to
lock the doors, maintenance
crews could have left them
unlocked or someone could
have used other means to gain
access, he said.
No plans have been made to
curtail activities in the evenings
at Thach, but Owens said a
final decision on this would be
left up to the College of Busi­ness.
Some control needs to be
Installed, Owens said. Either
Thatch employees should lock
the outside doors, or if they are
left open, leave someone in
charge, he said.
Dr. Bill Lloyd, associate dean
for academic affairs at the Col­lege
of Business, said. "As a
matter of principle, the building
should be available for students
to study."
There Is no way to isolate the
floors and lock the building, he
said. The new business building
will be able to separately lock
the offices away from the class­rooms,
Lloyd said.

Auburn's eminent scholar
chairs have been given $2.6 mil­lion
in funding by the state.
Matching funds have been
received for the Goodwin-
Philpott Eminent Scholar Chair
in Religion and the Butler-Cun­ningham
Progressive Farmer
Eminent Scholar Chair in Agri­culture
and Environmental
Management.
The state program allocates
several million dollars each
year. The University must come
up with $600,000 from donors
to qualify for $400,000 in
matching state funds. It seeks
funds from individual donors,
foundations and companies to
supply the initial $600,000,
said Caine Campbell, associate
dean of liberal arts.
"The practice and tradition of
having chairs are of long stand­ing.
To have a chair, the salary
is exceptional. The salaries help
to attract scholars across the
country," Campbell said. "The
appointed scholar becomes a
member of the faculty, teaches
and does research.
"However, the scholar will
teach less than normal to allow
time to pursue research and is
often expected to give public lec­tures."
Search committees have been
appointed to fill the vacant
chairs of the Huff Eminent
Scholar In Civil Engineering,
the Goodwin-Philpott Eminent
Scholar Chair in Religion and
the Breeden Eminent Scholar
Chair in Humanities.
'...minorities are
encouraged to
apply.'
- Richard
Penaskovic
The committees have pub­lished
notices and a r e now
receiving nominations. This fall,
interviews will be conducted
and recommendations will be
made to the deans and the pres­ident,
Campbell said.
"The date of appointment may
come as early as January or not
until the fall of 1990." he said.
Leah Atkins, director of the
Center for the Arts and Human­ities
at Pebble Hill, will head the
search committee for the Bree­den
Scholar.
Atkins said the committee will
look for "someone who has
record of publication, excellence
in teaching and is a senior
scholar. The scholar must hold
a Ph.D. in a humanities skill
with expertise in a southern
humanities field."
Richard Penaskovic, head of
the department of religion, is
the chairman of the search
committee for the Goodwin-
Philpott chair.
Penaskovic said they are look­ing
for "someone who is a dis­tinguished
teacher and scholar,
someone who will teach at the
undergraduate level, pursue an
active program of research and
writing and serve as an intellec­tual
resource for the University
and the local community."
"The area of specialization is
open, and minorities are en­couraged
to apply," Penaskovic
said.
Auburn already has three
Eminent Scholars: C. Robert
Taylor. Alfa/Alabama Farmers
Federation Eminent Scholar in
Agriculture and Economic Poli­cy:
Robert B. Eklelund, an
Edward L. and Catherine K.
Lowder Eminent Scholar in
Business; and James R. Barth,
a second Lowder Eminent
Scholar in Business.
Correction:
In last week's article, "Turnquist: no GSO funds without deal," a
GSO governing body proposed three years ago was said to have the
same power as the SGA. In fact, the plan provided only limited
authority to the proposed body. The Plainsman regrets the error.

Researchers unable to duplicate 'cold fusion1

University's version of Pons/Fleischmann apparatus
The University's Space Power
Institute has tried to duplicate
last March's seemingly revolu­tionary
Pons/Fleischmann
nuclear fusion experiment with­out
success, according to Direc­tor
Roy Askew.
E. Stanley Pons and Martin
Fleischmann, chemists working
at the University of Utah and
Britain's Southampton Universi­ty,
claimed they had developed
a workable nuclear fusion pro­cess
- the same reactions that
fuel the sun and the hydrogen
bomb - at room temperature in
a test tube.
"We only did what many other
universities did," Askew said.
"We attempted to reproduce
some of the results on a limited
scale that Pons and Fleis­chmann
had reported...[but]
could not confirm anything that
they said <hey saw."
While other universities such
as Brigham Young and Yale are
creating sophisticated versions
of the experiment, Auburn's ver­sion
is "mostly Just to satisfy a
little scientific curiosity," said

Troy Scrapchansky 06 CH, the
research assistant In charge of
assembling the apparatus.
The apparatus itself will only
test for temperature changes in
the solution and not neutrons
or other hard to And products of
fusion that would be expected if
the Pons/Fleischmann results
were indeed correct.
The University's version of the
experiment is at present being
reassembled after overcoming
technical difficulties with the
apparatus, he said.
We've had glassware break...
electronic equipment break...the
D20 (deuterium oxide) solution
becoming contaminated," said
Scrapchansky.
The biggest problem was
caused by copper contaminating
the solution.
"The solutions came in con­tact
with the brass holding the
palladium rods and dissolved it
into the solution and plating
itself onto the platinum elec­trodes...
Since the electrodes are
a mesh screen it is hard to
clean them," he said.
According to Scrapchansky
the results at Auburn were not
nearly so dramatic as shown in
the Pons/Fleischmann experi­ment.
"We got about a four and a
quarter degree rise in tempera­ture...
(whereas) Pons and Fleis­chmann
claimed that one of
their experiments got so hot so
fast that it blew up," he said.
Askew said, "As far as I can
tell, nobody in the world has
been able to replicate their
experiment, or even come close
to it. It is a very 'iffy' thing
because because nobody else
can see the results that [Pons
and Fleischmann] have claimed
to have seen in terms of. temper­ature
rise."
In similar experiments at
Brigham Young University,
researchers were able to detect
neutrons at the right energy to
be associated with fusion, but
only one billionth of the number
needed to expect the results
Pons and Fleischmann reported,
Askew said.
"I think that they (Pons and
Fleischmann) hurried their
experiment, and there are other
explanations of their high tem­perature
rise," Askew said, "per­haps
even burning of part of
their material.
'They were not careful, they
did not stir their solution, they
didn't calibrate their system,
they did not set up a control
against which to measure their
experiment against...it is not a
well done experiment."

University may cut printer access S
By Matt Smith
News Editor
University Computing Ser­vices
is considering restrictions
on use of University laser print­ers
because of excessive main-tainance
costs, Director Bruce
Lewis said Monday.
"They're not real heavy-duty
devices," Lewis said. "They get
an awful lot of wear and tear,
plus we are using toner car­tridges
at the rate of one every
10 days. Toner cartridges are
$90 apiece. Our problem is one
of economics."
The printers use a toner car­tridge,
much like those needed
for a copy machine, which holds
a graphite powder to produce
the images on paper. Users have
been printing so many docu­ments
on the machines that the
cartirdges wear out much faster
than they should, he said.
The Hewlett-Packard printers
were installed less than six
months ago in Haley Center and
Tichenor Hall, Lewis said. They
are set up on what he called a
"drop by, use-it-at-your-own-convenience
basis," and have
been heavily used by students
and faculty.
Chemistry Professor Michael
McKee, a member of the Univer­sity
Senate's Academic Comput­ing
Committee, said Lewis dis­cussed
alternatives with com­mittee
members Monday.
"There still remains the issue
of user abuse of these laser
printers, which should really be
used only for the final copy,"
'Our problem Is
one of economics.'
- Bruce Lewis
McKee said. "They should not
be used for printing multiple
copies of things like theses."
"Students should take the one
laser copy and take it to a place
like Kinko's and have the multi­ple
copies run off. People are
running multi-page documents
five times to avoid that kind of
cost, and these machines are
not equipped to handle that
kind of load."
"I think the idea is to provide
this resource, provided it's not
abused. I think the effort's going
to be made, particularly if a way
can be found to provide it with­out
costing the Division of Uni­versity
Computing too much.
The University was shelling out
a whole lot of money to provide
this."
Lewis said printer access
could be controlled by one of
three methods:
• keeping the printers accessi­ble
to lab users by use of a
"local area network," but keep­ing
them in the lab operator's
office. "They're still free, but you
have to call for the operator,"
Lewis said.
• linking the printers to the
network, but charging 10 cents
per page for their use. Universi­ty
Computing already charges
that amount for using the main­frame
laser printers.
"We're not out to make
money, but I want to make this
equipment last as long as possi­ble.
That's still a lot cheaper
than Kinko's charges...but we'd
prefer to leave them free," Lewis
said.
• continue to operate the
• • » » • • • • • • » » • » • • • » • • » » • • • • • •
printers as they are, but find a
cheaper way of maintaining the
toner cartridges. 'We could refill
them ourselves or find a cheap­er
supplier. WeVe looked at that
a little bit, but the quality tends
to degrade after a while," Lewis
said.
"It's very tough." he said.
"They're delicate machines,
they're very expensive and
everybody wants to use them.
They're In high demand.
"The laser printers out there
now were originally an experi­ment.
They were put out to see
how much usage they would
get. We're finding out what kind
of problems we would en­counter."

Acid House,
reaction to
urban blight
Acid house has crossed the
Atlantic Ocean, spent some
time in New York and has now
made it down to the South
some years after it first began.
What is acid house you ask?
It is a culture, a language, a
religion. Acid house is some­thing
spawned by our genera­tion
that takes elements of the
past and creates something
new.
Acid house is a religion in
that it has its objects of wor­ship
and rituals. The rituals
are performed in great noctur­nal
temples called the clubs.
The club goers aren't there to
pick up someone. The fear of
AIDS has halted much of the
promiscuity of many inner city
kids and now has the entire
nation afraid.
This is where the acid comes
in. People drop acid or ecstasy
and dance all night to the
sounds of house. House music
is fast with a pumping, driving
beat. It has loads of sampling
and overdubbing. It is the
result of music technology at
its best. You trip and dance all
night long.
The dances come in various
forms that range from just
shaking on the floor to a dance
called the Dive and a newer
dance known as Vogueing.
Vogueing consists of people
changing positions of various
body appendages while contin­ually
giving that Mademoiselle
model look. It is done to all of
the music played in the clubs.
The dances and the drugs
make up the rituals of this
religion.
This religion has various
signs and symbols such as the
smiley face, which signifies
acid: the large, thick-soled
black shoes by Dr. Marten,
Giradoun and NaNa; and of
course a language all of its
own.
The language is a mixture of
rap language and a few sixties
and seventies words. The
, result is words such as B-boy,
a club kid; Fly, which is cool;
Posse, my gang or group; Yo!,
the greeting; and countless
other words and phrases.
The god or icon that is the
object of worship is nothing
other than the almighty dollar.
This is a movement that was
born in the ghetto, so money
and things associated with it
are the most important.
Everyone wears a Chanel T-shirt
or has a Michael Cromer
hat. They talk of fame, cocaine
and anything associated with
the wealthy.
Acid house can be taken as
a shallow movement at first
glance, but it is something
more. It is a reaction to all of
the problems that face the
' people of the inner city. It is a
way to escape.
This escape mechanism has
become so popular that it has
even moved down South.
There are many places in
Atlanta where you can see
pieces of the acid house scene,
but it is not nearly as strong
as it is in New York.
Weekends, Club Rio and
Boys and Girls are just a few
of the places that play the
hoAse music, but they have
the largest group of house ori­ented
people. Club Rio is get­ting
too popular, but the other
two clubs are manifestations
of this movement in its purest
forms.
Acid house is the hippie
movement of our generation. It
is an answer to the problems
that face society; it is a reac­tion.
The problems house ad­dresses
are becoming more
and more prevalent in the
South as time goes on, and
this is why the movement Is
spreading and not dying.
Michael Gordon is the A&E
editor of The Plainsman.
Lips New tour reminds of 1969
night in Auburn with Mick
By David Hardee
Sports Editor
It was all a matter of per­spective.
"The audience thought it
was great," Auburn's head vol­leyball
coach Pat Ghastin said,
"but I'm not sure the Stones felt
the same way."
When tickets to the Rolling
Stones' Oct. 5 show in Birming­ham
went on sale July 29,
memories of their visit to
Auburn 20 years ago were
rekindled.
On Friday, Nov. 14, 1969, the
self-proclaimed greatest rock 'n'
roll band in the world played
two shows to a less-than-capac-ity
crowd in Auburn's Memorial
Coliseum.
For the most part, the fans
seemed to love it.
"For most of the people there,
seeing the Stones live was a
once-in-a-lifetime chance," said
Ghastin, who was then a stu­dent
at the University of Geor­gia.
"Mick (Jagger, the Stones lead
singer) apologized for being
late," said Mark Murphy, who
would go on to be the sports
editor of The Plainsman and is
now editor of Inside the Auburn
Tigers. "But the students didn't
care. It was definitely worth it."
The English band, consisting
of Jagger, Keith Richard (now
Richards), Bill Wyman, Charlie
Watts and, at the time, Mick
Taylor, may have felt differently.
Stanley Booth, in his book
The True Adventures of the
Rolling Stones, wrote "...it was
the weakest one (show on the
tour) yet...The hall was half full,
and though the Stones played
hard, the place didn't shake."
Jagger Is quoted in the same
book as saying before the show
that he wasn't looking forward
to it.
"It's not gonna be very good,"
he said. "The crowd's not good,
and I'm not going to sing much,
I'm hoarse. And you have to
have a night off sometime."
The crowd's not
good, and I'm not
going to sing
much.'
- Mick Jagger
In 1969, many Auburn stu­dents
had mixed feelings about
the show as well. The Stones'
performance was typically late.
The opening act was changed at
the last minute, and of all
things, it was cold and snowy.
"It was like 17 degrees at the
Auburn-Opelika football game
that night," said Murphy, then a
junior at Auburn High School.
"Plus, the wind was amazing."
Ghastin said, "I remember
standing in line for the second
show and thinking I was going
to get frostbite."
Jagger had the same opinion
of the weather.
"If the Souths going to be like
this, I don't want to visit it,"
Jagger said In True Adventures.
"I though it was warm in the
South."
A quick glance at the Stones'
1969 tour schedule reveals how
odd it was for them to come to
Auburn.
"I first heard about the tour
listening to an old AM station,
WLS in Chicago, on my car
radio one night," Murphy said.
"The DJ was reading off the tour
sites: 'Los Angeles, San Francis­co,
New York, Chicago, Miami,
New Orleans and . . . Auburn?'
"At the time, Auburn got real­ly
good shows because there
were no big arenas in Alabama,
Georgia or northern Florida.
Memorial Coliseum was the
cream of the crop."
The arena, now called Joel H.
Eaves-Memorial Coliseum, seats
12,500 people.
"It's my understanding that
Auburn's Student Government
Association's Entertainment
committee had a deal worked
out with some agency," Murphy
said, "that if the Beatles ever
toured again, they would come
to Auburn. They never did, so
the Stones took their place."
The Beatles last toured in
1966.

For only 80 cents, students
may not have to worry
with the hassle of finding
a parking place on campus.
Now, there is a public bus
service which runs a fixed route
through Auburn and Opelika.
It is called LETA (Lee County
Transportation).
LeeCot, the name of the for­mer
service, was designed to
cater to low income people. But
LETA is for everyone.
"LETA is a service that stu­dents
should take advantage of
since parking is so bad on cam­pus
and since many students
do not have any means of trans­portation,"
said Sara Selman,
transportation planning intern.
aw
The Lee County Area Council
of Government took charge of
the transportation system and
made many changes. It changed
the appearance of the buses,
bought new uniforms and made
changes in the fare system.
"The whole idea was to make
the system more swishier," Sel­man
said.
LETA is funded by the Alaba­ma
Department of Economic
Community Affairs (ADECA)
energy division. It is concerned
with reducing the amount of
energy used in this country.
Cars use 70 billion gallons of
gasoline every year, ADECA
reported. This is 14 percent of
all energy used in the country
and one third of all the
petroleum.
The organization reported that
it hopes people will use LETA to
bus system
save energy and cut down on air
pollution.
Nine air-conditioned buses
run through Lee County making
30 stops. The buses have a 22
passenger capacity and serve
more than 85,000 people, Sel­man
said.
Special services are offered for
the elderly, handicapped and
others who can't ride the regu­lar
buses, Selman said. The bus
picks these people up by
request and takes them where
they need to go. There is also a
wheelchair lift and drivers give
assistance to those who have
difficulty getting on the bus, she
said.
"The bus drivers are awesome.
They have excellent driving
records and know practically

Fitness: Just put one foot in front of another
Walkers hitting pavement, burning calories, staying fit
By Gretchen Skalka
Staff Writer
Staff photo by Patrice Fry
A walker struts her stuff around the Coliseum
Walkers can be seen
everywhere, not only
going to class, but also
keeping in shape.
"Walking is natural for people
to do because it's what people
do most. It's easy and everybody
knows how to do it," said Barry
Lynn Gilliland, exercise physiol­ogist
from East Alabama Medi­cal
Center.
"Walking has increased in
popularity ever since people
found out that it doesn't cost a
fortune, that it's easier on the
joints than running and that it
burns about the same amount
of calories per mile as running,"
he said.
Gilliland has been running for
12 years without any injuries,
he said, but he began by walk­ing.
"A good pair of well-padded,
comfortable shoes is the most
important thing, and the only
real 'equipment' you'll need for
walking," Gilliland said. "People
usually don't have trouble find­ing
the proper shoes because
most athletic wear manufactur­ers
are now making shoes
designed specifically for walk­ing."
A good pair of walking shoes
can be expected to cost any­where
between $30 and $60
considering the mileage they
will endure, retailers said.
The best times to walk are in
the early morning when there is
a slight chill in the air and late
in the afternoon when the day's
heat has cooled. Summer walk­ers
should take special precau­tions
to avoid dehydration,
Gilliland said.
'... it burns about
the same amount
of calories per
mile as running.'
- Barry Gilliland
"In the summer, people
should drink about 16 ounces
of water ( or another clear liq­uid)
for every pound they lose,"
he said. "Sodas and coffee are
not recommended because of
the sugar they contain. Also
people should begin their walk­ing
program by walking on flat
surfaces and gradually move on
to hilry terrain."
Although most people walk
daily without contemplation, it
requires guidelines.
The hospital sees "a lot of
muscle strains and twisted
ankles because people overdo it
their first time," Gilliland said.
The "overuse effect" can lead
to problems with the back, hips
and knees as well as muscle
pains and stiffness, he said.
The easiest ways to avoid
these problems, he said, is to
warm up and stretch before a
walk and to finish by walking
slowly for five minutes to cool
down and stretch again.
"Walking sounds simple
enough," he said, "but these
things are important."
Walking, like running and
cycling, Is an aerobic activity
because "it is continuous and
rhythmic in nature and is done
over a long period of time,"
Gilliland said.
This is the primary reason
guidelines should be followed
for walking, just as they should
for any other aerobic exercise,
he said.
For avid walkers. City Manag­er
Doug Watson said particular
attention should be given to
traffic and Auburn city ordi­nance
number 1272 during
walks.
The ordinance requires that
walkers and Joggers must wear
reflective material after dark,
and that bicyclists must have

Even though the summer of
1989 will probably go down in
history as the "summer of
sequels," Lethal Weapon II will
stand out on its own.
The movie provided two hours
of solid entertainment if the
viewer was able to withstand
some violence here and there.
From the moment it began,
the pace never slowed. The film
managed to keep viewers on the
edges of their seats while
maintaining a good plot that
was easy to follow.

It isn't your typical cops and
robbers flick. Sure, there are
cops and there are robbers, but
the key witness, a dog named
Hooch, is hard to work with.
In Turner & Hooch, Tom
Hanks (Big, Nothing in Common]
plays the lead of Scott Turner,
an uptight private investigator.
Turner is preparing to move
away from his sleepy California
town, when a friend's murder
leaves him with a big dog and a
lot of questions.
The movie focuses on how
Hooch (this dog) messes up
Turner's orderly life (and his
apartment). In one scene. Turn­er
leaves to buy dog food and
other supplies for Hooch. The
dog escapes from the laundry
room to enjoy the rest of Turn­er's
house.
Turner returns to find food all
over the kitchen floor, stuffing
out of the couch and demol­ished
albums and empty beer
cans on the floor.
Movie Review
Hooch does the stiff-shirt
Turner a lot of good. Hooch
teaches him to loosen his tie
and even introduces his new
master to the new vetenarian,
played by Mare Winningham
(St. Elmo's Fire).

Movie Review
It isn't necessary to have seen
the first one to enjoy the second
because everything is smoothly
explained again.
A new twist is added, though,
in the character of Leo Getz,
played by Joe Pesci. He provides
comic relief in an otherwise
dramatic movie. The speech and
mannerisms of Pesci's character
are annoyingly likable and are
an excellent contrast to Gib­son's
dry humor.
All of the necessary elements
are there: suspense, action,
romance, humor - plus a few
surprises. The plot takes some
unexpected turns that are
chances most movies don't take.
Another innovative factor was
the soundtrack in which Eric
Clapton had a helping hand.
The music provided an ap­propriate
background for the
emotional scenes as well as the
lighter ones. An excellent ex­ample
is the song "Knocking On
Heaven's Door" that was played
during a dramatic moment
toward the end.
The movie did have occasional
faults. There were some scenes

Why Bama's
new interest
« in volleyball?
It would have never hap­pened
a decade ago.
£ In the late '70s, as far as
5 athletics were concerned,
* Alabama was the leader and
I Auburn was the follower.
Things have changed.
I On Nov. 23, 1988, Alabama
J Athletic Director Steve Sloan
< announced that the Crimson
I Tide would once again field a
I; women's volleyball team start­ing
in 1989. The sport had
been discontinued in 1982 and
replaced with women's soccer.
The reason, according to
Sloan, is that volleyball figures
into the Southeastern Confer­ence's
all-sports poll while soc­cer
does not.
But maybe there's another
factor. Three years ago.
Auburn made the same deci-
!« sion to revitalize volleyball.
Georgia assistant coach Pat
Ghastin was hired to start the
program. He and the lady
Tigers have been remarkably
successful.
Auburn posted a winning
record the first season and has
improved to 25-12 this year,
fantastic progress for just
three yeais. The lady Tigers
have clearly established them­selves
as the state's best colle­giate
volleyball team, going 4-0
against Montevallo, UAB and
South Alabama in 1988.
The lady Tigers' success has
probably not gone unnoticed
in Tuscaloosa.
Neither school wants to be
I second to the other in any
' phase of athletic competition,
I and if Alabama had not started
I a volleyball program within the
'* next few years, it would have
been too far behind Auburn to
have any chance of catching
up any time soon.
It may be too late already.
The odds of any program com­peting
on this level going 25-
12 within three years are
extremely slim.
The announcement by Ala­bama
is not just a testimony to
a job well done by Ghastin,
though. It symbolizes a com­plete
shift in athletic leader­ship
in the state.
The most glaring aspect of
1 Auburn's new-found leader-
I ship position has been the
i moving of the Auburn-Alaba-
\ ma football game to the Plains
i this fall. Could Auburn have
made such a gutsy decision in
the face of stiff opposition from
*', Tuscaloosa 10 years ago?
|S Obviously, though, the
, j changes go past football to the
', non-revenue sports.
> Ten or 20 years ago, the
Ej emphasis on sports other than
* j | football and basketball was
l! virtually next-to-nothing a-
| cross the nation with only iso-
«| lated exceptions. But this has
t> changed, and now every sport
%' is given at least a certain
J i amount of attention.
• I For example, the SEC has a
contract with Sports Channel
I to televise every conference
* championship competition
•I except golf.
J; Auburn, in Dye's first few
J i years, moved ahead of Alaba-
*f! ma in the area of non-revenue
{J! sports. And Dye did so without
I putting Auburn's Athletic
| Department in the red until
**?; the 21st century like Ray
I Perkins did in Tuscaloosa.
l~\ But going back to volleyball,
*5| Auburn and Alabama will face
each other in mid-September
in a tournament in Clemson
and again in Auburn on Nov.
Tl 15. Both matches will likely be
| played with as much emotion
I; as the Auburn-Georgia match-ij
es were last year.
J "There are over 200 schools
I In the state that play volley-
| | ball," Sloan said in making the
''•. formal announcement.
II There might as well be just
I one.

Still swinging
Lady Tiger golfers continue
success after SEC championship
By Thad Foret
Staff Writer
The only way for a team to
make a name for itself in sports
is to win, and the Auburn lady
Tiger golf team did just that last
season by winning the South­eastern
Conference Champi­onship.
Earning a name is one thing -
keeping it is a different matter
altogether.
Even though the 1990 season
is two months away, the lady
Tigers have spent the summer
working to keep their name.
"Having three golfers make
the final cut among the thou­sands
that start out is a great
thing," Marsee said. "It shows
the other teams that we have
good talent, and it shows the
other girls that we provide the
opportunity for growth as a
golfer.
"In order for us to grow as a
program we have to have this
kind of notoriety."
Three members from last sea­son's
championship team, Mar­garet
Piatt, Missy Tuck and
Diane Rama, were among the
final 64 survivors at the U.S.
Women's Amateur Champi­onship
at Pinehurst Country
Club in Pinehurst, N.C., last
week.
Competition for the Amateur
began in early Jury with some
1.000 golfers vying for 128
spots in the two qualifying
rounds. Following two rounds of
stroke play, the field was
reduced to 64 for match play,
one-on-one competition.
All three lady Tigers qualified
easily in the top 64. But Virginia
Derby, a member of the 1985
and 1986 lady Tiger teams,
missed the cut in a playoff. Had
she won the playoff, Auburn
would have been represented by
more golfers than any other
school.
Still, three was plenty for lady
Tiger coach Bud Marsee.
Rama, the reigning SEC indi­vidual
champion, was knocked
out on the final hole of her first
round match.
"This was my second Ama­teur,"
Rama said, "and I really
wanted to make it past the first
round because that was where I
got knocked out two years ago.
"I have to be happy that I did
get as far as I did, though,
because I went through a lot of
changes with my game and I
still haven't gotten adjusted to
them yet."
Tuck fared better, making the
second round before falling after
two extra holes. It was her first
appearance in the Amateur and
her second trip to match play
in two major non-professional
events this summer. She made
it to the quarterfinals of the
Western Amateur in early July.
'You always want to win, but I
was happy to get as far as I did
in my first try at it," Tuck said.
Piatt, the 1989 SEC Player-of-the-
Year, who completed her eli­gibility
with an eighth-place fin­ish
at the NCAA Champi-
Diane Rama
onships, lost in a quarterfinal
match.
It was her third time compet­ing
in the Amateur and possibly
her last before becoming a pro­fessional
- a goal she said hopes
to achieve after receiving her
degree sometime next year.
"Anytime you have that num­ber
of girls from your team do
so well in major competition you
have to be pleased," Marsee
said. "They all worked hard to
get where they are, and that

AUM growing under Saia
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
One of Auburn's former
coaches is trying to get Auburn
University at Montgomery (AUM)
into the NCAA's Division II com­petition
by increasing athletic
participation at the University.
"Since I've been here, we've
gone from 30 athletes to 150 in
the school and added four dif­ferent
teams to the (athletic)
program," said Claude Saia,
coordinator of athletic develop­ment
at AUM since 1985.
There are currently six athlet­ic
teams at AUM. Two more are
needed before it can be consid­ered
for Division II competition,
he said.
"Right now," Saia said, "we're
in District 27 (in the National
Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics), which means we
compete against schools like
Montevallo, Faulkner and Birm­ingham-
Southern. "
In Division II, AUM would
probably compete with such
schools as Alabama State and
Alabama A & M, he said.
Saia has added baseball and
soccer to men's sports at the
school. Before his arrival, the
school offered only basketball or
tennis for men.
In the last four years, Saia
has introduced the school to
women's athletics by developing
a basketball and tennis team for
woman.
'Since I got here,
we've gone from
30 athletes to150.'
- Claude Saia
"When I got here, athletics
were concentrated in the physi­cal
education department," he
said. "Now we are a separate-department
with our own bud­get-
As a freshman at Auburn in
1950, Saia played halfback on
the football team. By 1963, he
was the first graduate student
hired as a coach by Ralph
"Shug" Jordan, he said.
"Vince Dooley was the head
coach of the (Auburn) freshmen
team then, and I was his full-time
assistant," Saia said.
Dr. Harry Philpott, former
Auburn president, appointed
Saia to serve as head of the
intramural and recreation
department in 1976. By 1979,
he increased participation in
Auburn intramurals from 5,000
to 13,000 students, Saia said.
"I asked (former Alabama
Governor) Fob James in 1979
for money for a new activity
center," the coach said.
The previous activity center,
now the sports arena used for
gymnastics, was not large
enough to accommodate all
activities, he said.
The coach said he solicited
the help of the student body to
pay for the new facility.
"We surveyed them and asked
if they were willing to pay $8.50
more per quarter to fund con­struction
of the Student Activi­ties
Center. More than 80 per­cent
said yes," he said.

Vickie Orr was a three-time Ail-American
Lady Tigers may
head to Europe
By Richard Kirk
Staff Writer
Three Lady Tiger seniors will
make a fast break across the
Atlantic Ocean upon gradua­tion,
but it doesn't look like
any of them will be playing on
the same court once they
arrive in Europe.
"Europe is where the top
performers go," head women's
basketball coach Joe Ciampi
said. "That's where the
demand and top pay can be
found."
Last season's tri-captains,
Ruthie Bolton, Vickie Orr and
Jocelyn McGilberry, have
found that European basket­ball
teams can make offers
that may be too good to refuse.
The same opportunities are
not available to the Lady
Tigers if they stay in the Unit­ed
States.
"I haven't reached my poten­tial
yet," Bolton said. "Going
overseas will give me that
opportunity."
Bolton is considering an
offer made by a professional
team in Sweden to play with
them in the upcoming season.
"If I accept, I'll return next
spring to Auburn and finish
my degree in two quarters,"
she said.
The Swedish team will do
battle in a tournament in the
Soviet Union starting Sept. 1.
Bolton said she doesn't have
time to waste.
Orr, a three-time Ail-Ameri­can,
is working with a team
from Italy and is considering
signing a contract with them
soon.
"It may take a couple of
weeks before we can settle on
an agreement," Orr said. 'The
money and living arrange­ments
haven't been worked
out yet."
Ciampi said, "Italy always
looks for the taller players.
'They have the top profession­al
women's basketball teams
in Europe."
The Harlem Globetrotters
made a date with Orr to try
out for their world-famous
team Ciampi said. On Sept.
17, Orr will visit the Globetrot­ters
and demonstrate her tal­ent.
McGilberry, who started
every game as a senior, said
she is trying to get on a team
in France.
"After I graduate, I'll try out
in the women's professional
league in Paris," she said. "But
I'm not sure about signing
with anyone yet."
Ciampi said that European
teams can't have more than
two players that aren't from
the host country.
All three seniors agreed that
hard work and dedication have
made these opportunities to
play professional basketball
possible.
McGilberry said, "Playing
with a No. 1 te .m in the
national finals is something to
be cherished I learned that
you have to give a lot if you
want something in return."
Orr, who has already turned
down an opportunity to play in
Sweden, said, "Playing for Au­burn
has prepared me for
what will come later."
Bolton said, "My last year
made me realize that I can do
anything if I put my mind to
it."
Marsee hopes lady golfers can continue success
By Shawn Math is
Staff Writer
The Auburn lady Tiger golf
team, in only its fourth season
since the program was re­instated,
won the Southeastern
Conference championship.
Led by South Region Coach-of-
the-Year Bud Marsee and
SEC Player-of-the-Year Mar­garet
Piatt, the lady Tigers fin­ished
13th in the nation.
Marsee looks ahead to the
challenge of repeating last sea­son's
accomplishments.
Seventh in a series
Q. Do you feel that last sea­son's
SEC victory will draw
more golf fans to the lady
Tiger's tournaments?
A We play in tournaments all
over the country, so we don't
have many traveling fans. We
get the parents out to watch,
but that's about it.
9. Did you expect to win
the SEC Championship at the
beginning of the season?
A You always hope you can.
We knew we had some good
players, but they all had some
weak moments. But as the year
progressed, they became more
competitive. When you come
down to one tournament (the
SEC Championship), anything
can happen!
Q. Who do you feel had the
greatest impact on the sea­son?
good group coming back, if we
can just stay healthy. We've had
hand injuries, shoulder injuries
- we've had a lot of Illness and
Injury. We can't seem to get the
whole team healthy at the same
time.
9- How many recruits do
you have coming in?
A. We've got three freshmen
coming in and one transfer from
'Right now I would say Margaret
(Piatt) has a good chance of playing
with the tour.'
- Bud Marsee
A. They all had an impact.
Three different players (Mar­garet
Piatt, Joel Rieder and
Diane Rama) won a tourna­ment.
9. How many seniors were
lost this year? Will this have
a large effect on the team?
A Off the conference team, we
lost two players. We've got a
a junior college. I think they're
going to contend for the starting
line-up. They've been playing in
a lot of tournaments this sum­mer,
and they're doing well.
Q. How many hours a day do
the lady Tigers practice?
A. We'll put in three or four
hours a day. But it depends
really on what we're doing that
day and how many holes we're
going to play. If you play 18
holes of golf, it's going to take
you several hours.
9. Do you foresee any lady
Tigers going on to play golf
professionally?
A. Sure. Right now I would
say Margaret has a good chance
of playing with the tour. She
qualified for the Women's U.S.
Open. Thousands of women
tried out. We had four Auburn
players in the Women's Ama­teurs.
Not many schools can say
that. You've got to be strong to
play out there, but it's a good
place to watch and learn.
9- Will next season's sched­ule
be much different than
the past season's?
A. Well, I Just finished the
schedule. Fall will be about the
same. Spring will be a little bit
different. We won't play Duke,
so we had to substitute a trip to
Mexico in January instead. Isn't
that awful?
Q. What are your views on
the planned University golf
course?

A. It's going to be great. It's
already been designed, and the
fairways have been staked out.
The land for it is beautiful, off of
Shug-Jordan Parkway. I think
within the next six months,
they'll begin construction. It will
be good for the students,
because they'll get a good rate.
It will also help the team with
recruiting and practicing.

Old-timers
need to form
own league
I've been a boxing fan for j u st
about all of my 22 years.
I can remember the days
before HBO and pay-per-view
when you could w a t c h true
fighters like Muhammed All and
Ken Norton duke it out for the
title on regular old television.
I c a n r e m e m b e r the days
when boxers who announced
their retirement from the sport
really did hang up the gloves
and leave the ring for good.
I even remember when
Howard Cosell still appreciated
the sport, but Howard is now a
n o n - f a n and s p e a k s openly
about it.
Maybe I should follow in the
steps of Howard (kind of a scary
thought) because boxing j u st
seems to be getting out of hand.
Last week, the latest in the
now t r e n d y r e m a t c h e s was
announced: Sugar Ray Leonard
vs. Roberto Duran - "uno mas."
These two have a combined age
of 71 and have no business in
the boxing ring.
I was complaining about this
to a friend of mine from the ath­letic
department at a bar last
week. We decided t h a t these
guys need a league of their own
to play in. Kind of like the
A t l a n t a Braves, but t h a t 's
another story entirely.
Baseball and basketball have
t h e i r own o l d - t i m e r s games,
professional golf has a tour for
the older guys, so why not box­ing?
We decided to call it the FVed
G. Sanford Senior Boxing Cir­cuit.
Members would include
Leonard, Duran, Thomas
Hearns. Spinks (either one) and
George Foreman. Maybe All and
Norton could come out of retire­ment
and join in too.
J u s t imagine, they could trav­el
all around the world beating
each other into the lower depths
of idiocy a n d there won't be any
real title involved.
Back to the Leonard-Hearns
lunacy.
This will be the t h i r d time
these two have stepped into the
r i n g together. The first time,

Goff hopes young backs come through
David S. Paschall
Staff Writer
Tennessee
Tennessee heads Into the
1989 season with the longest
winning streak in the South­eastern
Conference: five games.
•Unfortunately for the Volun­teers,
the five game streak came
on the heels of an 0-6 start
which kept the Big Orange out
of a bowl last year for the first
time since 1980.
Third in a series
Johnny Majors, the dean of
SEC coaches, said he wants to
put last year's season behind
him.
"We'll be bcUer, in my opinion,
and more exciting," Majors said.
The excitement could happen
in Knoxville this fall if the Vols
can replace three-year starter at
quarterback, Jeff Francis. Ju­nior
Sterling Henton and sopho­more
Andy Kelley are the lead­ing
candidates.
At running back, Tennessee
returns Reggie Cobb, who
rushed for more than 1,000
yards in 1987 and Chuck Webb,
redshirted in 1988.
The tradition of great Vol
receivers should continue in
1989 with wide outs Alvin Harp­er,
Anthony Morgan, Terence
Cleveland, Carl Pickens and
Thomas Woods.
Offensive guard Eric Still has
been labeled a pre-season All-
American by some.
Majors must rebuild a defense
which finished second-to-last in
the conference in yardage
allowed.
Senior defensive ends Marion
Hobby and Tracy Hayworth are
going to try to put an end to
Tennessee's defensive woes.
Shazzon Bradley, moved
recently from noseguard, leads
a group of young linebackers.
While in the secondary, veter­ans
Preston Warren and Kelly
Days return.
The Vol's ability will be known
after consecutive dates with
UCLA, Duke, Auburn, Georgia,
Alabama and Louisiana State.
"We've got a big boy schedule
s o we've got to be big boys,"
Majors said about the upcoming
season.
Florida
According to Florida coach
Galen Hall, the Gators have yet
to completely recover from the
stiff NCAA probation handed
down in 1984.
"This will be the youngest
group we've had since IVe been
here," Hall said, because of a
previous lack of scholarships.
"But it is also the most talent­ed
group of inexperienced play­ers
that we have ever had, and
that's encouraging."
The primary problem at Fori-da
is quarterback. Although
Kyle Morris and Herbert Perry
both return, the two only com­bined
for three touchdowns and
17 interceptions in 1988.
Emmitt Smith returns for his
junior season, a possible Heis-man
candidate, after rushing for
2 , 3 3 9 yards in his first two
campaigns. In the backfield
there are sophomores Willie
McClendon and Dexter McNabb.
Florida has both a young
offensive and defensive line
going into this season. David
Williams, Trace Armsrtong, Jeff
Roth and Rhondy Weston were
all drafted this past April into
the NFL.
On the offensive line, Richard
Starowesky and John Durden,
the only seniors across the
front, will try to open holes for
Smith and other backs.
Rodney McCoy, Mark Murray
and Brad Culpepper must
replace the 1988 defensive front
now in the pros.
The Gators have five lineback­ers:
Huey Richardson, Jerry
Odom, Pat Moorer, Godfrey
Myles and Ephesians Bartley.
In the secondary, Ail-Ameri­can
candidate Richard Fain will
team up with Kerry Watkins.

"Well, everything was pretty

I just that we were consistent in

The award will be presented

I and all of the executive officers

Shaw must make her decision
; about who will be attending by
J the end of the month, she said.
; The money for the trip will come
both from the NPC and Panhel­lenic.
Schools may enter the cate­gories
which they choose, she
said, depending on what they
feel there strengths are or try
for the overall award.
'We went for the biggie. We
felt that all of our areas were
pretty strong," Shaw said.
Although there are different
categories of competition as well
as different awards among the
different school sizes, the award
included all schools and cate­gories
of competition, Shaw
said.
She said did not feel much
rivalry existed among the state
schools about the award.
'We really push for all Alaba­ma
schools to apply for awards,"
Shaw said. 'We encourage all
other schools. It's not a compet­itive
thing among Alabama
schools because it's a national
award."

I 'The three-hour delay can be

Plainsman Features Editor Bev­erly
Bradford wrote in 1969.
"(Auburn) stage crew workers
had two pressure factors with
which to contend - the race
against time and the rudeness
of the Stones' stage managers,"
Bradford wrote.
According to Ghastin, the
audience overlooked the prob­lems
and enjoyed themselves.
"It may not have seemed like a
lively crowd to the Stones," he
said, "but by Auburn standards,
it was pretty wild."
When asked what stands out
in their minds about the night
both Ghastin and Murphy men­tioned
the Stones' delay, the
cold weather and, as Murphy
said, "the heavy stench of mari­juana."
As the concert came to a
close, Jagger made a plea for
youthful rebellion on the Plains
through the Stones' Street
Fighting Man, according to
Booth:
"It might happen," Mick said,
"even In the streets of Auburn."

In the future, LETA hopes to
have a route where it can take
passengers to the football
games in a quick and efficient
manner, Selman said.
Bus stop signs will also
appear in local areas soon, she
said. These signs will help indi­cate
where the buses drop off
and pick up people.
Bus schedules are available
through local merchants, the
drivers and Auburn and Opelika
city halls.
The buses run from 6 a.m. to
6 p.m. Fares are 80 cents for
adults, 40 cents for senior citi­zens
and the handicapped, 50
cents for children 5 to 17 and
children under 5 ride free. Fare

"This is a very special system

work Is starting to pay off."
Both Tuck and Rama said
they see their performances in
the U.S. Amateur as stepping-stones
for the 1990 season. Not
only as a chance to fine tune
their games before returning to
team play, but also to prove
that they can continue to be
successful despite the loss of
Piatt.
"This has to add to our confi­dence,"
Tuck said. "We know
from last year that we can com­pete
with the best. We Just have
to go out and do it."

City ordinance 127:2 was
approved in March 1988, after a
graduate student jogger was hit
and killed by a car.
The city has added a number
of sidewalks in the last few
years. Watson said. They may
be found on University Drive,
Glenn Avenue, Dean Road and
Samford Avenue.
Auburn also has a walking-jogging
trail around Auburn Jr.
High School and a Jogging lane
off Glenn Avenue.
However, it seems that most
people are partial to the track at
Eaves Memorial Coliseum. The

been planned. The track has

test comes at Baton Rouge on
October 7. The Gators close
with Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky
and Florida State.
In 1988, the Gators started
5-0 but wound up with a 7-5
mark that did include an Ail-
American Bowl win.
'This will be a good football
team in the future," Hall said.
"Everyone wants It back to
number one. So do I, and we're
moving in that direction."
Georgia
The new kid on the block can
be found in Athens, Ga.
Ray Goff, former running
backs coach, takes over for the
legendary Vlnce Dooley, who In
25 years won more than 200
games, six SEC championships
and one national championship
in 1980.
"IVe got one chance at this,"
Goff, 33, said about his hiring.
"I'm going to make it work."
Goff, who was quarterback
when Georgia made Cotton and
Sugar Bowl appearances in
1976 and 1977, must find a
quarterback to lead his initial
squad.
Vying for the job should be
freshman Preston Jones who
was redshirted in 1988 and
sophomore Greg Talley.
At tailback, the Bulldogs
return Rodney Hampton who
averaged more than five and a
half yards per carry last season.
Arthur Marshall leads a group
of receivers that, along with the
quarterbacks, must develop if
the 'Dogs are to have a solid
pass attack.
"It's hard to imagine us lining
up and just running over peo­ple."
Goff said. 'We have some
players on offense who are
going to have to grow up in a
hurry."
Bill Goldberg and Virgil Cole
anchor the defensive front,
while at linebacker, Georgie has
Norman Cowins, Curt Douglas,
Demetrius Douglas and Morris
Lewis.
Georgia's tests should come at
Tennessee, Florida in Jack­sonville
and home dates against
Kentucky and Auburn.
Higgins
continued from 1
AUM, said Higgins was an out­standing
student.
"He was young, aggressive
and smart," he said. "He wanted
to improve himself through edu­cation."
Boyne said that he taught
Higgins three classes while he
was at Maxwell, and he got to
know Higgins and his wife well.
Higgins went to Washington
after he completed his program
at Maxwell, Boyne said.
In 1981, Permaloff and her
husband had to move to Wash­ington,
D.C., on short notice for
business, Permaloff said.
She remembered Higgins as
an excellent student and knew
that he was in Washington. She
contacted him about helping
them find an apartment.
"Col. Higgins not only found
us an apartment that afternoon,
but he also put down a deposit
with his own personal check,"
Permaloff said. "He told the
landlord to call us collect if he
had any problems. He handled
everything for us."
A native of Kentucky, Higgins
received his undergraduate
degree from Miami University of
Ohio and served in various staff
positions at Marine Corps head­quarters
in Washington and at
the Pentagon. His wife. Marine
Maj. Robin Higgins, works at
the Pentagon.

Epilepsy drug
There are always com­plaints
about Auburn being
a research institution and
not caring about teaching.
Often people don't know
what is going on in the
research and usually don't
care. But occasionally there
are standouts in research -
some that deserve mention.
Randall Clark, a profes­sor
of pharmacal sciences,
is one of those who has
bettered society through
his research. At least he is
well on his way.
Clark has developed an
anti-convulsant for epilep­tics.
The drug has passed
through the first in a long
series of tests that must be
completed before it can be
marketed.
The requirements are set
by the FDA.
Clark said the drug could
be on the market in three
to five years, depending on
how well the drug goes
through the various tests.
Much of the 16 years
Clark has spent at Auburn
have been devoted to the
. development of this drug.
He has developed a number
of compounds, many of
which have shown positive
effects. But this particular
drug, licensed by Eli Lilly,
has been the most success­ful.
It speaks well of Auburn
to have this type of drug
developed by a professor at
the University. The Plains­man
congratulates Clark
on the development of the
drug and also wishes him
luck in the approval pro­cess.
New questions
With any luck, we can
avoid another battle
between the University Sen­ate
and Samford Hall about
academic standards.
At Tuesday's meeting, the
University Senate was
asked, with little advance
notice, to vote on recom­mendations
from the Aca­demic
Standards Commit­tee
on grade requirements
for various schools.
One of the proposals was
from the College of Busi­ness,
which recommended
that students with a GPA
below 2.0 not be allowed to
register for the next quar­ter.
The vote on the science
and mathematics plan was
postponed until October.
The plan would put a stu­dent
on "academic warning"
if his GPA fell below a 2.0
and drop him from his
major to general sciences
and mathematics.
The situation goes back
to last year when the Sen­ate
recommended an
upgrade and standardiza­tion
of academic standards
for admissions, retention
and graduation to the
board of trustees.
After the board rejected
the proposals, Individual
colleges began to submit
ideas of their own.
Now the Senate has been
called on to give advice
before proposals go to the
administration, but It isn't
as easy as it sounds.
One of the major con­cerns
with the College of
Business' plan was how it
would affect non-business
majors who needed busi­ness
courses to graduate.
For this system to work,
and not become a faculty-administration
battle,
someone needs to step for­ward
and define what the
Senate's jurisdiction is and
exactly what authority
belongs In the hands of the
deans of individual colleges.
It seems that the respons­ibility
lies In the office of
academic affairs, which is
responsible for maintaining
the University's academic
standards and integrity,
but it is a good idea to
request help from the Sen­ate.
Auburn 'Village' disappearing
It's not exactly New York City,
or even Greenwich Village, but
it's the closest thing we have.
Burton Street has become,
over the years, Auburn's own
eclectic neighborhood including
many young writers, artists and
musicians.
Now, to paraphrase George
Bush, they want to take it away
from us. Houses are being razed
and cardboard-quality apart­ments
raised in their place.
Granted, much can be said
for such new construction: Bur­ton
Street's houses do not fill
the Historical Register, more
students will be able to live in
the new apartments, and, thus,
the City of Auburn will stand to
make more money.
But such small gains cannot
compare with the loss of com­munity
for Burton residents.
My apartment is a case in
point. When I rented it for the
summer, I knew I was abandon­ing
many conveniences which
most students take for granted,
such as central air conditioning.
B. Bryan
Bittle
laundry services and a paved
parking lot.
But none of those mattered to
me when weighed against Bur­ton
Street's more aesthetic ben­efits.
My windows opened out,
not up. Outside them, kudzu
and ivy grew along the side of
the building, and earlier this
summer, a small but dazzling
garden of irises grew up about
them.
Built-in bookcases could hold
most of my paperbacks, which I
cannot be without. (A writer
without books is like a farmer
without a tractor.) Ceilings were
higher than usual.
In short, my apartment was
like a character from some
Southern fiction writer, an
eccentric matron from a Faulk­ner
novel or, more likely, a Flan-nery
O'Connor short story.
Although it was run down, it
was more than livable, it was
lovable.
Several weeks ago, the house
next to mine was demolished
and a mean-looking cube of
metal energy-proofed, cage-like
apartments has taken its place.
Across the street, more houses
are gone, sinks sprawled dry
and white in the red dust, their
own old windows shattered.
Then the mowers came and
shaved my own building of its
plants, preparing it for some
surgery I am sure it will not
survive. Now I look out the win­dow
and see construction, not
kudzu. The harsh summer light
wakes me up in the mornings,
unfiltered anymore by a lush
layer of green.
I'm sure I am over-romanticiz­ing
my situation. It's hardly
unusual and certainly not tan­gible.
To be sure, more impor­tant
issues abound.
The world's dizzy, out-of-con-trol
growth, is one. On the
moral front, the breakdown of
the American family and the
loss of community presses, and
pervasive is the distressing
problem of homelessness.
While the changing face of
Burton Street will not send the
United States into starvation,
Lee County into cultural
malaise or students out onto
College Street, the so-called
progress around me seems
somehow typical, a small part of
some great problem, a sniffle-symptom
of some fatal disease.
My neighbors and I have
begun searching elsewhere for a
similar environment in which to
think, grow and prosper, with­out,
I am afraid, much success.
I am hopeful, though uncon­vinced,
we will all find some­thing.
After all, we have no choice.

Israel not to blame for murder
The apparent murder of Lt.
Col. William Higgins has again
brought the most volatile area
in the world to the forefront of
attention for the public, media
and politicians of this nation.
But, for once, there should be
no doubt as to who is at fault.
When the Shiite Hezbollah, a
pro-Iranian group that had
taken Higgins hostage early last
year, released a video tape of his
hanging, the group said it was
carrying out a threat it had
made a few days earlier.
The threat came after Israel
had taken Sheik Abdul Karim
Obeid hostage. Obeid, Israel
astutely claimed, is involved in
terrorist activities and is a reli­gious
leader in title only. Obeid
is the senior leader of the Islam­ic
Party of God in Iran.
Hezbollah was not the only
faction blaming Israel for the
Marine's death. Many U.S.
politicians, including Senate
David
Hardee
minority leader Bob Dole, quick­ly
and harshly criticized Israel
for having taken the sheik
hostage.
Criticism of Israel has not
been unusual over the last cou­ple
of decades. In fact, they
usually deserve it.
But, in this case, the blame
for Higgins' death,jrests 100 per­cent
with the Hezbollah.
Israel's action was a pre-emp­tive
one that may have prevent­ed
many other hostages being
taken, as well as other terrorist
activities. The nation must be
able to defend itself as it sees
necessary.
Dole, for some reason, chose
this opportunity to start bash­ing
the Israelis.
Israel has long been free from
the criticism it deserves from
this nations' politicians.-With
Israel's military capabilities and
irrational decision-making, the
United States has felt that it
cannot afford to loosen its grip
on its Middle Eastern ally.
The Israelis, however, are con­stantly
pushing the limits of the
America's patience with deci­sions
that baffle most.
Dole and, according to an
ABC News poll taken this week­end,
most U.S.- citizens have
less faith in Israel now than
ever before.
However, Israel's latest ploy,
the kidnapping of Obeid, should
not be considered the final
straw to make so many people
feel this away about our valu­able,
though, erratic ally.
When Israel refused to give in
to the Shiite's demands, it was
keeping the same attitude j
toward terrorism that the Unit­ed
States has always had. That
is, try every diplomatic effort
possible to end a crisis and do
not give in to terrorism.
Maybe Israel does not always
take what appears to be the
sensible route, but it seems that
it did this time.
Terrorists must be punished
for their actions, but these Shi-ites
often go undiscouraged "
even when death is certain.
Therefore, the best efforts \
against them would involve both ; *
punishment and prevention.
Isreal was only trying to take
care of the prevention part.
Basically, if you didn't already
hate Israel, this is no time to !
start. ;

Blazing Saddles.
It's summer. It's the season
for grandstanding in Washing­ton,
because it's just too hot
along the banks of the Potomac
to get any serious work done.
First we have our one and
only president announcing his
indignation concerning the
Supreme Court's decision
upholding flag-burning as a
form of political speech - stand­ing
in front of the statue of the
Marines raising the flag over Iwo
Jima at Arlington National
Cemetery, no less.
So much for the exit of the
Hollywood Presidency, which
some foolishly thought had
retired to Bel Air with Reagan.
Not that it's unexpected: Bush
got himself elected by waving
big flags and small issues, but
Matt
Smith
he's no George C. Scott. As
comedian Jay Leno put it, "If I
wrapped myself in the flag and
somebody set it on Are, I'd be
mad too."
Not content merely to Jump on
the wave of super patriotic hys­teria
surrounding the flag-burn­ing
non-issue, Congress is now
cutting off some funds to the
National Endowment for the
Arts for its sponsorship of art
work lt considers obscene or
