Professors win suit, jury awards $164,000
By David Sharp
News Editor
A six-member federal jury
awarded a total $164,000 settle­ment
to the five professors suing
Auburn after it ruled the Univer-ity
knowingly discriminated
against the professors on the
basis of age.
President James Martin said in
a prepared statement released
Wednesday, "We are disap­pointed
with the verdict and have
instructed our lawyers to file the
appropriate post-trial motions."
Neither University officials
nor their lawyers would comment
an what steps will be taken, or if
an appeal will be pursued.
The professors received com­pensatory
damages consisting of
the difference in salaries of what
the average professor in their
lepartments with the same rank
received from two years back
from the date of discrimination.
However, because the jury
•uled that the University dis­criminated
willfully against the
professors, the professors
received back damages for three
years instead of two.
Dr. Winfred Shaw, 51, of the
department of mechanical engi­neering,
received $53,200; Dr.
Waldir Pedersoli, 55, of the
department of physiology and
pharmacy, received $17,000; and
David M. Hall, 51, of the depart­ment
of textile engineering,
received $25,800.
Dr. Milton Alexander, 66, and
Dr. Charles R. Snow, 55, of the
management department re­ceived
settlements of $36,000 and
$32,000 respectively.
Shaw, Snow, and Alexander'
claimed Oct. 1, 1985, as the date
d i s c r i m i n a t i o n began, and
Pedersoli and Hall Claimed Oct.
1, 1986, as the date the discrimi­nation
against them began.
Jim Debardelaben, counsel for
the professors, said in a press
conference Monday in Montgo­mery,
"They (the professors)
stood up for something very few
people will. They stood up
against their employers — a
major university.
"It took a lot of courage for
them to stand up and say, 'You
have treated me wrong, but not
only have you treated me wrong,
you have treated other people
wrong, and we're willing to prove
it,'" Debardelaben said.
The decision showed that the
discrimination " was inten­tional
and a pattern of Auburn
University," he said.
"We'll go as far as it takes to
uphold this decision," said Julian
McPhillips, also an attorney for
the professors.
One of the keys to the case was '
when President James Martin
took the stand and testified that
he was aware that Auburn was
paying the "market rate" for new
professors and not paying atten­tion
to its older professors,
McPhillips said.
"The way they tried to justify it
was that it existed at every uni­versity
across the country,"
McPhillips said.
"Well, I think we're sending a
message to other universities, ,
just as we sent to Auburn, that
just because it's done at every
other university across the coun­try
does not make it right," he
said.
"I think that what this case
may lead to is that all universi­ties
(will) examine the way they
determine the salary of their
faculty members," he said.
The lawyers for the professors
filed an injunction Monday to
have the professors' salaries
raised to a level of the average
professor at the University,
McPhillips said.
Whether the decision will
lower salaries for younger pro­fessors,
or raise salaries for older
professors, Debardelaben said,
"...In the end everone will have to
be treated equally."
Pedersoli said the professors
went through all of the steps at
the University but still had not
gotten any results. He compared
the situation to the hostages held
in Iran. "It got a lot of attention,
but no action," he said.
"If we had lost this case, the
administration would have been
given complete freedom for dis­crimination
of any kind," Shaw
said.
The professors sported orange
and blue ties at the press
conference.
"This was the last thing I
wanted to do," Shaw said about
the suit. "When you have been
used and abused, you have to do
something."

This past week University of
Alabama President Dr. Joab
Thomas requested that Auburn
and Alabama not play every year
because the circumstances sur­rounding
the game had gotten
out of hand.
"The issue has assumed far
more importance and signifi­cance
in the minds of many fans
than is appropriate or in the long-term
best interests of the univer­sities,"
Thomas said last week.
If the annual "Iron Bowl"
between Auburn and Alabama is
put on a rotating instead of
annual schedule, J&M Bookstore
co-owner Trey Johnson said the
results could be "catastrophic"
for his business.
"If the game was changed, it
would definately show up on the
bottom line," Johnson said. "In
December, when Auburn wins
the game our profits are out­standing.
Wte don't have any
problem getting rid of any of our
stock.
.. "Un#l,1982, we had forgotten
'what it waslike."
Thomas recently contacted
SEC Commissioner Harvey
Schiller and asked "that he
explore the feasibility of chang­ing
the football game from 'tradi-tional
rival' to a rotating basis."
"From a traditional standpoint
I would rather see the game
played in Birmingham than not
at all," Johnson said. "I
remember when my daddy would
load me up and go up there to
watch the game. I would hate to
give up a good tradition."
The conference schedule var­ies,
but if Thomas' request is
passed, Auburn and Alabama
could miss two or six seasons
between meetings. SEC teams
meet five "traditional rivals"
every season and play other
teams in the league for two sea­sons
on a rotating, "home-and-home"
basis.
When contacted Tuesday
afternoon, Schiller said the pos­sibility
of the game being moved
to a rotating basis "would have to
be proposed to the athletic direc­tors
and then reviewed by the
presidents." He then said he
could not comment further on the
situation.
"This Auburn-Alabama game
is a game that should be played,"
Auburn head football coach Pat
Dye said Tuesday morning. "It
should be played for the students
and alumni at both schools and
for the football fans in the state of
Alabama."
The two schools have played
every year since 1948, but if
changed it would not be the first
time the series has been discon­tinued.
Between 1907 and 1948,
there were no games played
because of a disagreement
between the two schools.
"I don't think that moving the
game to the rotation basis is a
good idea," Grant H. Langston,
04 LPO, said. "It would cut out a
money-making machine for
many people. I enjoy the game
and want to see it continue, but I
don't think our officials should be
bullied out of their position."

Reports out in Scaife death
By Stephanie Warnecke
Managing Editor
Becca Scaife, charged with
murder in the disappearance of
her 6-year-old stepdaughter,
Lakeita, admitted to police that
she "pushed Lakeita's head
under water for too long a period
of time" causing Lakeita to
drown, then disposed of the body
at the location it was found on
May 19. .
Scaife said she was attempting
to teach Lakeita to swim in the
bathtub in the apartment when
she drowned.
The child was reported missing
from her natural father and
stepmother's house in Carolyn
Draughon Village on May 9.
The autopsy report did not
3tate the cause of death. "It was
not possible to determine the
cause of death due to the decom­position
of the body," District
Attorney Ronald L. Myers said.
Scaife was arrested on May 21
and charged with murder, man­slaughter
and filing a false police
report. She has been held in the
Lee County Jail on a $177,500
bond.
She will apppear before the
grand jury on Sept. 8 for an
indictment hearing. "She will
either be not indicted, or indicted
of murder or manslaughter,"
Myers said.
Scaife was the only suspect
from the beginning of the case,
Myers said. "It's a serious thing
when a child disappears," he
said. It was not a case of child
snatching and never was, he
said.
Myers would not comment on
evidence in the case but said that
"warrants are not issued, and
judges don't sign warrants, on
the basis of gossip."
"Obviously there was probable
cause to arrest her," he said.
Two separate arrest warrants
were issued, one for murder and
one for manslaughter, he said.
The murder warrant states
Scaife "did recklessly engage in
conduct which manifested
extreme indifference to human
life and created a grave risk of
death to a person other than the
said Becca Scaife."
The manslaughter warrant
states Scaife "did recklessly
cause the death of Lakeita S.
Scaife by pushing Lakeita S.
Scaife's head under water there­by
drowning Lakeita S. Scaife."
Quarterback's appeal hearing
scheduled for 1 p.m. today
By Alan Clemons
Sports Editor
Charged with plagiarism on a
term paper, quarterback Jeff
Burger will go before the Aca­demic
Honesty Committee today
at 1 p.m. to try to clear his name
of all allegations.
The charges leveled against
Burger stem from a term paper
written in assistant professor
Philip G. Benson's industrial
psychology class last quarter.
Benson reported that Burger
failed to place quotation marks
around three separate direct quo­tations
and that he mis-cited a
source in the bibliography.
Benson was contacted by The
Plainsman Monday afternoon
and would not comment on the
incident.
Sullivan violated NCAA
rules by posting bond?
By P a t t i Colegrove and
Selena Roberts
Staff Writers
An internal investgation is
under way by University officials
concerning a possible violation of
NCAA regulations by quarter­back
coach Pat Sullivan when he
posted a $700 bond for quarter­back
Jeff Burger, who was
arrested July 14.
Director of NCAA Legislative
Services Rick Evarard would not
comment on Burger's case
directly but said, "posting bond
for a student athlete is a viola­tion"
of NCAA rules.
Steve Morgan, NCAA enforce­ment
officer, said the organiza­tion
can be sympathetic if a
coach acts like a parent and bails
a player out of jail.
Sullivan was reportedly
unaware that he had violated
any regulation.
"We're in the process of con­ducting
an internal investigation
into the situation regarding Jeff
Burger's arrest and subsequent
release," Auburn Sports Infor­mation
Director David Housel
said.
"When our investigation is
complete, we will make a report
through the appropriate chan­nels
of the University and, if need
be, the SEC and the NCAA,"
Housel said.
Burger was charged with pub­lic
intoxication and carrying a
concealed weapon after a fight in
the Opelika Krystal restaurant
parking lot, according to Auburn
Municipal Court records.
The investigation will follow
the normal pattern for cases of
this nature, said Dr. Joe Boland,
chairman of the committee on
intercollegiate athletics and
Auburn's assistant dean of engi­neering.
But, Boland would not
comment on the Burger investi­gation
specifically.
"It would be premature to
See NCAA, page 8
The committee, headed by Dr.
Donald G. Jeane, recommended
at an initial hearing that Burger
be placed on a three-quarter sus­pension.
Today's inquiry is a
result of a request by Burger's
lawyer, Richard Sasser of Mont­gomery,
after Burger did not
attend the first hearing. Sasser
said Burger underestimated the
seriousness of the first hearing.
"Jeff didn't request a formal
hearing before the committee
previously," Sasser said, "not
realizing the potential — and I
emphasize potential — serious­ness
of the matter."
Another student, requesting
anonymity, who was in the same
class with Burger, said Benson
was an "easy grader" but specifi­cally
pointed out guidelines for
the report.
"He (Benson) said he was
meticulous about sources when
reviewing reports," the source
said. "I think he gave us fair
warning about them."
The source said the time
between the date the papers were
due and the date they were
returned "was about a week or
week-and-a-half."
Jeane also would not comment
op the case, saving "It's confi­dential
information. My instruc­tion
from the administration is
that we have no comment."
Phone calls to the number
listed under Burger's name were
not answered.
If the recommendation by the
committee stands, it will go to Dr.
Warren Brandt, vice president of
academic affairs. Brant has the
responsibility of imposing aca­demic
sanctions, though a final
response could come from Uni­versity
President James E.
Martin.
Burger was the starting quar­terback
for Auburn'B 10-2 team
last season, completing 126-of-
222 passes for 1,671 yards and
nine touchdowns. If he is placed
on suspension, sophomore Reg­gie
Slack would be the apparent
replacement this fall.

110 degrees too hot
By Vicki Vessels
Staff Writer
Recent smothering tempera­tures
earlier this week can be
responsible for some potentially
serious health risks, according to
Dr. Dunlap W. Oleson, acting
director of the Drake Health
Center.
Alabama public health offi­cials
issued heat alerts which
ended on Wednesday because of
the high temperatures. These fol­lowed
heat index readings of 105
to 110 degrees during the past
week.
. .The heat index is a combina­tion
of temperature and humid­ity,
according to the National
Weather Service.
J Monday was the first day in
more than a week that the
temperature did not reach triple
digits, officials at the weather
service said.
The health risks of this
weather include heat stroke, heat
exhaustion and heat syncopa­tion,
Oleson said. All are asso­ciated
with sustained exercise
during the hot day which leads to
a loss of salt and water, he said.
Heat stroke, the most severe
reaction, is characterized by an
extreme elevation of body
temperature and unconscious­ness
or semi-consciousness, Ole­son
said.
Heat stroke can be fatal
because it leads to circulation
failure which could cause a vital
organ to stop functioning, he
said.
Heat exhaustion is character­ized
by a moderate elevation of
body temperature, Oleson said.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion, he
said, are fatigue, nausea, giddi­ness
or dizziness and delirium in
later stages.
If heat exhaustion is not
a p p r o p r i a t e l y diagnosed or
treated, it could lead to heat
stroke, Oleson said. Heat synco­pation,

SDI will
generate
research
By Kimberly Bradley
Assistant News Editor
In 1985, when Auburn was
selected to research space power
for the Strategic Defense Initia­tive,
"it also made a commitment
to get into the broader range of
space power and its problems,"
according to Raymond Askew,
director of the new Center for
Commercial Development of
Space Power on campus.
. Askew called the SDI research,
which was conducted under the
Department of Defense, an
umbrella organization" which
has served as a "stronger founda­tion"
for more research such as
Auburn's recent expansion into
the commercial development of
space power awarded by NASA's
ffve-year contract.
*_"It is only obvious that good
research will generate even better
research," Executive Vice Presi­dent
George Emert said.
Although both contracts deal
with the same need for power in
space, the NASA contract is civ­ilian
and commercial in nature
whereas the SDI contract is
military.
Auburn is one of seven univer­sities
in the nation to receive
funding for new centers and one
of two which will conduct
research in the area of space
power. These seven will join nine
centers already established.
Auburn's center will research
the generation, storage, condi­tioning
and distribution of elec­trical
power in space for commer­cial
purposes under NASA's $5
million contract and a budget of
$1 million for the next 10 years.
"This new center could become
the incubator for a new industry
on the cutting edge of space tech­nology,"
Senator Howell Heflin,
D-Ala., said.
"The key limiting factor for the
development of commercial
space activity is the ability to
generate, store, condition and"
distribute electrical power,"
Askew said. "Each of the centers
established will require substan­tial
electrical energy for commer­cial
operation in space. That is
why this center is so important."
Askew added that until now,
space use has involved only

exhaustion, occurs when the vic­tim
becomes pale and faints, he
said.
If someone suffers from heat
exhaustion or syncopation, the
person should immediately sit
down and cool off in the shade,
drink cool water and sponge the
skin with cool water, Oleson said.
However, heat stroke is consi­dered
a medical emergency. "Call
for professional help imme­diately.
After calling try to reduce
body temperature," he said.
In order to help prevent these
health risks, Oleson said one
should wear loose-fitting, absor­bent
clothes. Cottons are prefer­able
to synthetics, because syn­t
h e t i c s do not allow the'
perspiration to evaporate and
effectively cool the body, he said.
The best defense is to drink
plenty of fluids and stay out of
the sun, according to Oleson.
"It's mainly common sense/'
he said.

Kid's passive pastime proves addictive
By Tommy Sims
Staff Writer
The more often kids watch TV,
the less physically fit they will be,
according to a study conducted
by Larry Tucker, an associate
professor of health and physical
education.
More than 379 high school stu­dents
in California participated
in the study, and it took about six
months to complete, Tucker said.
The study will appear in this
month's issue of - Psychology
Today.
"The main objective was to find
how TV viewing affected physi­cal
fitness, and it appeared to
contribute greatly," Tucker said.
"These kids were not obese, (but)
they were not physically fit."
The study began with high
school students filling out ques­tionnaires
to determine their TV
viewing habits, Tucker said.
Then he conducted a series of
physical tests including push­ups,
pull-ups, side-steps, long-jumps,
walking and jogging.
Body mass was then measured,
he said.
After these tests were com­pleted,
the results of the physical
portions were combined and used'
in a scale Tucker developed. "The
results were more conclusive
than I had expected," he said.
"The contributing factor is that
TV is a passive pastime," Tucker
said. "The average kid spending
three hours a day sitting around
and watching TV gradually
weakens his muscles."
Once this cycle begins it
becomes more difficult to break.
"As kids get less fit, physical
activity becomes harder," Tucker
said. "Then it becomes much eas­ier
just to watch TV because
swimming, tennis, etc. becomes
hard work.
"TV producers are making it
(television shows) so entertain­ing
it almost becomes addictive,"
Tucker said. "People intend to
watch 30 minutes and end up
watching for three hours."
Another contributing factor is
that TV shows relay poor nutri­tion
messages to their viewers,
Tucker said. "People on TV grab
a snack, but they rarely are seen
eating a meal. They use alcohol
as the most common beverage
when in real life it is not."
Tucker's study has been the
subject of more than 20 radio and
TV interviews as well as appear­ing
in countless newspapers
since its completion.
"Physical fitness and watch­ing
TV are something everyone
can relate to," Tucker said. "This
is the kind of research I like to do
because it affects everyday
people."
The message Tucker feels his
study will send people is "watch
less TV and be more selective
about what you do watch," he
said.

Dyeing art revived at Auburn
By Deborah Hileman
Staff Writer
I t ' s the summer of 1987, and
Auburn is showing its colors.
That extra touch of brightness
i s being added by the re-emergence
of the tie-dyed T-shirt
on the college campus.
Until recently, the tie-dye was
a s s o c i a t e d with " h i p p i e s ,"
"deadheads" and "folkies," but
now it is on the general college
scene. Who wears tie-dyes at
Auburn?
Stuart McCallister, 01 GC, a
student who makes and sells
them, says the people come from
many different segments of the
University population, but it is
mostly "the partiers — t h a t ' s who
buy the shirts."
"I did my first tie-dyes in
Athens (Ga.) when I was living
there in the summer," McCallis­ter
said. "My boss got me into
it...now he's supporting his fam­ily
with it — an 11-year-old boy
and 19-month-old baby."
McCallister can be seen some
days on Haley Center concourse
with an armful of his bright tie-dyed
T-shirts. Some of his
designs include spirals, hearts
and peace signs, rendered in
anywhere from two to five or six
colors.
Another Auburn student, Ab
"Trip" Taylor, 02 PB, started
making tie-dyes as result of an
art class.
"Me and a friend of mine
started doing it last summer. We
were following the (Grateful)
Dead around.
"We both took fiber arts at
Rhodes (College in Memphis, TN)
last summer. That (tie-dyeing)
was our project," he said.
Taylor and his friend soon
began selling them. "I sold 20 or
so here (in Noble Hall)." He has
also commissioned the Sound
Shop in Village Mall to sell some
of his shirts. He estimates that, in
the short time he has been in
Auburn, he h a s sold 30-40 shirts.
How much does a project like
this cost, you may ask. Taylor
spends $40 for a pound of dye,
which will make 100 shirts. He
orders T-shirts at a bulk rate for
$35-$40 per dozen. One "Taylor-made"
shirt costs $10. His profit
margin is 200 percent, he said.
McCallister, who has been
m a k i n g tie-dyed T-shirts for
about a year, h a s lost count of his
profits. "I spend it all," he said.
His dyes cost $20 per pound, and
5 F Some people might think
that the a r t of tie-dyeing began in
the 1960s with the psychedelic
era, but in fact, it can be traced
back to ancient India, China,
Japan and Africa, according to a
book by Dona Z. Meilach, entitled
Contemporary Batik and Tie-Dye.
The art was used in the early
Chinese T a n g Dynasty (A.D.
618-906), a n d spread from thereto
J a p a n , where t h e silk clothing of
the priests and nobility was
tie-dyed.
"African nations have used tie-dye
methods for years and still
do," according to Meilach's book.
Americans who served in the
Peace Corps in Africa learned
natural dye recipes and' tie-dye
techniques. Then, they "brought
back bolder design concepts t h an
those t h a t h a d originated in the
Indonesian and Oriental cultures."
The a r t of tie-dyeing appeared
rather late on the American con­tinent.
South and Central Ameri­can
tie-dyes date from pre-
Columbian times. According to
Meilach, "In North America, the
Pueblo and other Indian tribes
used the craft at a much later
time."
For those of you who are not
he has "13 brilliant colors." His
shirts also sell for $10.
Having sold anywhere from
150-200 shirts, McCallister said,
"I've made a pretty good profit."
His reason for starting this as a
"business" was similar to t h a t of
so many other college students. "I
needed the money," he said.
Some people do it just for fun.
"It was just something to do,"
said freshman Denise Ogle. "We
wanted some tie-dyed shirts, but
we didn't want to buy 'em."
Her room is adorned with
freshly dyed T-shirts, hanging
from the curtain rods, nails in the
wall — generally all over. She
interested in t h e history or mass
production of tie-dyed T-shirts,
there is a n inexpensive way to do
experimental tie-dyeing. Simply
buy a white T-shirt, several colors
of household dyes (BIT, Tintex,
Putnam's or Cushing's is good),
and some rubber bands.
Get some objects, such a s mar
bles or stones, and tie them into
the T-shirt with t h e rubber bands.
After forming a pattern using
this process, dip t h e shirt in the
desired dye color.
When the color h a s soaked in,
remove the shirt, untie it and
iron it dry. The areas which were
covered with rubber bands ("res­i
s t " areas) will be white, while the
rest of t h e shirt will be colored.
Another fairly simple design is
the spiral. With pliers, firmly grip
the center of t h e s h i r t and twist it
in a circular motion. When the
entire fabric is twisted, apply dif­ferent
colored dyes in straight
lines running out from t h e center.
It will take a lot of dye to coat
t h e p a r t s of the shirt inside the
folds. Aftet applying dyes, stick it
in t h e oven on very low h e a t until
it i s partially dry; t h en unravel it:
You will h a v e a spiral design on
your shirt, r
and her roommates had experi­mented
using RIT dyes, which
a r e household dyes, readily
a v a i l a b l e in d r u g s t o r e s . The
whole process took a couple of
hours. " '
"It wasn't a major investment
for us; it was just something to
do," Ogle said.
For Taylor and McCallister,
however, it's a time-consuming
process. "I made 18 t he other day.
It took half the day," Taylor said.
When asked what kinds of dyes
and chemicals he uses, McCallis­ter
smiles and simply answers,
"ancient Chinese secret."
McCallister gave a little
insight into the process involved,
though still not revealing any
trade secrets.
First of all, he washes the shirt
with a chemical fixative to shrink
it and make it more receptive to
the dye. After tying and dyeing,
he heat sets the dye and rinses
once by hand, once by machine.
He then adds a fixative,
washes the shirt again and dries
it for 70 minutes. This is quite a
long process. McCallister said,
"...just me working, i t 's probably
about seven hours."
Why are these tie-dyes so popu­lar
now? The message seems to be
spreading like a virus. "We'd seen
everybody wearing 'em," Ogle
said.
Tie-dyes are becoming popular
for various reasons. "They're
something different to wear,"
said Ogle.
Taylor said, "I would imagine
most...wear them because of
fashion."
Both Taylor and McCallister
are fans of the Grateful Dead.
"Deadheads," a s they are known,
are among the most avid wearers
of psychedelic clothing, espe­cially
tie-dyes.

Clearinghouse on
dropouts opened
By Vicki Vessels
Staff Writer
Auburn has" recently opened
The Alabama School Dropout
and Illiteracy Clearinghouse in
an effort to reduce Alabama
schools' dropout and illiteracy
rates.
A1986 report by U.S. Secretary
of Education William Bennet
ranked Alabama's dropout rate
49th in the United States. The
report showed t h a t 38 percent of
A l a b a m a ' s school-age young
people enter the job market with­out
a high school diploma.
The clearinghouse is still basi­c
a l l y in the formative and
research stage, said Tom Wil-kins,
assistant director of the
clearinghouse.
It offers a d a t a base of informa­tion
concerning program devel­opment,
research, s t a t i s t i c al
data, dropout characteristics and
illiteracy programs, Wilkins said.
It will offer technical assist­ance
in developing programs and
policies directed toward dropouts
a n d i l l i t e r a t e s , Wilkins said.
These programs could range
from teen pregnancy to alterna­tive
school programs, he said.
"It's going to be
contingent on
whether we can
locate supple­mentary
funds."
—Dr. Bill Spencer
Earlier this week the clearing­house
began a survey of 129
school superintendents across
Alabama to obtain an assess­ment
of what is needed to
improve the situation, Wilkins
said.
"We will be contacting each
school system superintendent to
discuss what types of programs
they might have now and to find
out what type of programs they
might need targeted to their spe­cific
school population," he said.
"We're also planning a confer­ence
in conjunction with the gov­e
r n o r ' s office and the state
Department of Education to hold
a state-wide conference on at-risk
students," Wilkins said.
Another goal of the clearing­house
is to increase the public
a n d b u s i n e s s c o m m u n i t y 's
awareness of the effects of drop­out
and illiteracy rates on them
as well as on the students, he
said.
The clearinghouse is a follow-up
to the Alabama High School
Dropout Study conducted by
Auburn last summer, Wilkins
said
The study was designed to dis­cover
what happens to students
after they drop out, what causes
them to drop out and what might
be done to reduceor prevent them
from dropping out, Wilkins said.
The leftover funds from this
study, which came from the Gov­ernor's
Education Reform Com­mission,
were used to establish
the clearinghouse, he said.
C o n c e r n i n g the p r o j e c t 's
f u t u r e , Dr. Bill Spencer,
researcher for the Alabama High
School Dropout Study, said, "It's
like a n y other effort. It's going to
be mainly contingent on whether
we can locate supplementary
funds."

Suit puts Auburn in real world
With Friday's abrupt end of the
five professors' age discrimination
suit against the University, we feel
there are some issues which need to
be addressed.
The jury found in favor of the pro­fessors
and ruled that the Univer­sity
willfully paid older professors
less than newer, younger professors
holding the same positions.
During the trial, University offi­cials
acknowleged they were aware
that older professors were being
paid lower salaries, but they claimed
they had to pay new professors
higher salaries to attract them to
Auburn.
The University calls this "mar­ketability,"
and we agree in princi­ple
that Auburn must pay competi­tive
salaries to in-coming professors
to attract quality professors.
* However, we do not feel that
newer professors should be paid
more at the expense of the older
professors.
< In the real world — the business
world — workers start at lower
wages and the wages increase with
experience. However, this does not
seem to be the case at Auburn.
We know that funding is a prob­lem
at Auburn as with other institu­tions,
but it is unfair to t h e older pro­fessors
who provide stability to deny
them the security of the higher
salaries they deserve.
This policy creates needless fric­tion
between younger and older pro­fessors
in the departments and also
creates an unhealthy environment
in the faculty.
We are also concerned that this
trend could lead to a backlash in the
long run with professors being dis­couraged
instead of attracted to
Auburn.
While The Plainsman supports
the jury's ruling, we realize this
problem is not limited to Auburn,
and we hope the decision will pro­vide
a precedent for all universities
to provide equal pay for professors
in the future.
Footballs and books
Marriage between athletics and academics
I
;The most recent incident between
academics and athletes involves
quarterback Jeff Burger and brings
to light the increased interest in ath­letes'
classroom activities.
-Burger has been charged with
plagiarism by an assistant psychol­ogy
professor, Dr. Philip G. Benson.
Burger will appear before the Aca­demic
Honesty Committee today to
appeal the case.
• Whatever the outcome, we feel
obligated to give credit16 the^faculty
and -athletic department officials
who are trying to strengthen the
bond between a t h l e t e s and
academics.
•What we do not want to see is a
witch hunt aimed at a t h l e t e s,
though.
jBurger is charged with leaving
quotation marks off of three separ­ate
direct quotes and mis-citing a
source in a report for Benson spring
qiiarter.
;The Academic Honesty Commit-te;
e has several options, which
iriclude:
i— A failing grade in the course;
•— A failing grade with the reason
ofi the student's transcript;
'.— Probation for a stated period of
^anic mode
Iron bowl should be annual
time, during which the student may
take classes but may not play inter­collegiate
sports or participate in
e x t r a c u r r i c u l a r a c t i v i t i e s on
campus;
— Suspension for a stated period
of time during which a student can't
take any courses;
— Or, e x p u l s i o n from the
University.
The committee h a s recommended
t h a t Burger be suspended for three
quarters. A lesser penalty or a hot
guilty charge eould result from
today's hearing.
The mistakes Burger made were
common errors. With a large report
such as the one he turned in, those
errors could have been committed by
anyone.
We feel that a three-quarter sus­pension
is too harsh. If the commit­tee
does not change its decision, its
recommendation will go to Dr.
Warren Brandt, the vice president of
student affairs.
We want to see athletics and aca­demics
work together for a positive
outcome, but a sensible approach
must be taken and the punishment
should fit the crime.
I Dr. Joab Thomas, president of the
IJTniversity of Alabama, has pro-nosed
that the Auburn-Alabama
q a s h not be played every year. He
wants Auburn and Alabama to go to
a[regular SEC rotation, which would
h|ave the two teams meeting either
eyery two seasons or every six.
J The Plainsman believes t h a t the
ijniversity of Alabama is in panic
njode, realizing that there is a
djanger that the game will be played
i$ Auburn every other year if the
current annual schedule is adhered
to.
Thomas would rather call the
whole thing off t h a n swallow his
apprehension and play here, where
we would have the same home-team
advantage every other year that
Crimson Tide fans have enjoyed in
Birmingham for years.
It would be a truly unfortunate
thing if Thomas succeeds in throw­ing
t h e baby out with t h e bathwater.
The dispute over the game site can
be worked out without any babyish
"I'll just take my ball and go home"
attitudes.

To end it would be germanely wrong
It would be like a wedding without a
groom, a dictionary without words, a
newspaper without ink, a class without
tests, a bar without a drunk, a college
town without boys, a beer without alco­hol,
a bookstore without high prices, a
hamburger without fries, a baseball
game without hotdogs.. .you get the idea,
it would be bad and it would be ger­manely
wrong.
Yes, it would be like Auburn without
Harry's and, ironically enough, it would
be like fall quarter without football. To
end the annual Auburn-Alabama foot­ball
series would be a sin.
Auburn football has found a place in
my heart right next to champagne, well,
maybe not champagne, but a nice warm
place. Just thinking about football sea­son
is enough to get me in a good mood. .
I can't wait until the Florida game and
most of all, since I'm from Atlanta, the
Georgia game. I'm even going to wear a
raincoat.
But, the Iron Bowl...the Iron Bowl is a
classic game between two schools that
hate each other more than the devil.
People around the nation know how
strong this rivalry is and love to watch
the results. Old alumni don't get down
on all fours and bark during the game,
but the loyalty is just as strong, maybe
stronger.
To play Alabama every two, maybe
six, years would send the fans into a
Patti
COLEGROVE!
mad frenzy. What would Thanksgiving
be like without the Bama game?
At the end of every football season,
right before the glorious bowl games,
each team plays its rival. In Georgia, the
Bulldogs play the Yellow Jackets; in
Florida, the Gators play the Seminoles;
and in other states all across the nation,
each team plays its rival for the last
game of the season.
So, logically and naturally, in Ala­bama,
the Tigers play the Crimson Tide.
But, alas, where to play the game?
In Birmingham? But Jordan-Hare
Stadium is complete and fully capable of
seating everyone who could make it to
Auburn. And why not be grown-up and
mature about the situation and play
rival games like other states do —- at
a l t e r n a t i n g home fields, home
stadiums?
Nope. "There are an awful lot of our
people who don't want to go down there
(to Auburn), ever," Coach Bill Curry
said. Now that's real mature. It's hard
for me to believe people at Alabama
actually feel that way.
So now, University of Alabama Presi­dent
Joab Thomas proposed that Ala­bama
and Auburn not play annually.
Could this be a scare tactic to keep the
Iron Bowl in Birmingham? Is he afraid
of driving to the Plains once a year?
Well, Joab, we don't really all drive
tractors down here. It's not that danger­ous.
And, I promise, if you and your
friends are good, we won't give you an
outdoor shower. But be prepared for a
good, hard beating.
He said that a rotational series could
lead to a more realistic rivalry.
But, I work up enough rivalry in one
year. If I had two, maybe six, years to
work up a rivalry, it would be stronger.
If I were given six years, I could come
up with lots more Alabama jokes. For
instance: Why is it dangerous to drive
through Tuscaloosa with your windows
rolled down?
They (Joab) might throw a diploma in
at you.
And think, a football season without
the Alabama game would be like a
Thursday without a Plainsman.

Why did Glazer stay at mediocre school?
I was disturbed by Randy Glazer's last
column (July 30) about Auburn not
deserving the reputation it has.
I think this is absurd. But even more
absurd is why Randy stayed at such a
mediocre and artificially credited
school?
I transferred here from Stetson Uni­versity
in Deland, Fla., last spring.
Randy includes Stetson on his list of
prestigious Southern schools. This, I
think is giving false credibility. Stetson
is a very small, private, pretentious
school and unless you major in music,
business or pre-law and attend Stetson
Law School, it means absolutely
nothing on a resume.
The teaching there pales in compari­son
to Auburn. My history teacher at
Stetson got so mad at a student who
passed a note during his lecture that he
stormed out of the room, muttering pro­fanities.
Never have I had an Auburn
professor do that.
The professors I have had?at Auburn
h a ve been outstanding! IJi&YJe never felt
like a number, contrary to all the horror
s t o r i e s about a t t e n d i n g a large
university.
I also do not feel that Auburn has quite
as much credibility as Randy thinks it
does. I'm from Buffalo, N.Y., and up
there Auburn's notoriety stems from the
fact Joe Cribbs graduated from here. I
now live in Ft. Myers, Fla., and until I set
Stephanie
WARNECKE
foot on the campus, I thought it was 95
percent minority, as did my father who
lives in Atlanta.
So, although I am very proud to say I
go to Auburn, I'm not sure people will
revere me like Randy thinks they will.
To say the credibility and reputation
Auburn has is false is also to criticize the
outstanding engineering, journalism
and architecture departments, to name a
few.
The research money Auburn receives,
which incidently increases each year,
is a statement about the way businesses
feel about Auburn. bofefs
I dare 'say NASA does not give a $5
million contract to just any university.
As a matter of fact.Auburn was one of
seven chosen from 28 applications.
Alabama is not one of the most cos­mopolitan
states in America. I even get
teased about my Alabama tag and driv­er's
license when I go home. But, the
rebuilding of a state takes a long time
and a lot of effort. The election of a
Republican governor might be the start
of Alabama's rise to prominence.
In this day and age, it takes college
graduates to get into politics to push a
state forward. As graduates of a state
university, maybe that's our job.
Randy is right that perhaps too much
emphasis is placed on Auburn's athletic
program. But, he is also right that this is
a major source of the University's
income.
We all complain about the lack of
money, and then we complain about the
source or attempts to increase it.
Strong financial alumni support
would help. If all of us, when we gradu­ated,
donated $100 to our school or
department, a step would be made in the
right direction.
God knows, I'm the first to complain
when something doesn't go my way (it's
the Yankee in me), but I am also proud
beyond words to be at Auburn.
I think Auburn deserves national
attention. We may not be the best, but
the increase in enrollment, increase in
research money and the strides made by
Auburn graduates can put us right up
with the likes of Yale, Duke and
Princeton.
WAR EAGLE!

of The Plainsman.
All I wanted was my future and a story
It wasn't a big story...there wasn't
going to be any undercover work, no
expose.
I didn't have Mike Wallace or Morley
Safer tucked under my arm (now
wouldn't that have been interesting)
waiting to jump out and shout "Gotcha!"
And, as a small, though devoted, follow­ing
of my readers (mom, dad, sisters)
know, I don't do hatchet jobs in my sto­ries
— I save that for columns.
I wanted to bring you a feature story
on our local palm reader. No sarcasm, no
slant. (As Jack Webb used to say, "the
facts, ma'am, just the facts.") I was
warned that such an elusive, mysterious
personality would probably wish to
maintain that mystery and would, in all
probability, give me the boot.
Nevertheless, I persevered, confident
that my charm and obvious sincerity
would win her over. And, if that wasn't
enough, what about the free advertising
such an article could bring?
Alas, I was rejected.
Here is my sad tale.
It began with a phone call in which I
secured an appointment for a palm read­ing
($10) the following day (note the
word appointment). Coupon in hand, a
friend and I road-tripped out on 280.
After turning around three times and
sinfully breaking the new speed limit,
we arrived on time.
We got out and began to walk in, both
more excited about the palm reading
than the article. However, in my hand,
along with the coupon, I carried what I •
now recognize as a bright yellow caution
light for the wary. My little legal pad
caught everyone's attention before Alan
and I got through the door.
"What kind of notebook you have?"
asked a rather large dark woman of
Indian descent (note Indian, not Native
American).
That was my cue to reassure, charm
and give my pitch. She asked us to sit
down at her dining table, in full view of
what we assumed to be the family sitting
in the living room. Not quite what we
expected — I mean, we weren't looking
for round tables, crystal balls and a
small peasant woman from Budapest.
But we didn't expect five Indians and
a redneck watching us and The Price is
Right either.
But I digress.
Once seated, our hostess asked what
we wanted, I pitched and, as Alan would
say, struck out.
"No.no the vibrations won't let me do
that," she said, accent in place. (Surely I
must have heard her wrong.)
"Excuse me?" I said.
"I can't do it...the vibrations."
I turned to Alan and he to me. This
was an explanation we hadn't counted
on. What do you say to that?
I wanted to ask if the vibrations were
likely to improve, like the weather, and
should I call tomorrow for a vibration
report? But Alan rode all the way out
there for a palm reading,and I wasn't
going to disappoint the poor fellow.
That too, however, was not meant to
be.
She asked what else we wanted.and we
both said we had come for the palm read­ing.
She asked if we could come back
later. What! I drove all this way, broke
the law and everything to get to you' ady,
and you want me to do it again, I
thought.
Alan and I shook our heads and told
her we thought it was quite a haul out
there and not one we wanted to make
again.
"Well, I have company (the Indians or
the redneck — I'm not sure which), so I
can't do it right now. But you can call
back and make another appointment."
Good way to run a business, huh...es­pecially
one as reliable and profitable as
palm reading.
Now, I wanted to get sarcastic. I left
wanting to call Mike and Morley, get my
handy teeny-weeny-fit-in-a-purse tape
recorder and give it to one of my repor­ters
so that somebody would rush in and
yell "Gotcha!"
My friend wisely didn't say a word as
we headed for the car. He just watched
with a smile while I ground my teeth,
groaned with frustration and growled.
I'd never been turned down for an
interview, especially with such a lame
excuse. And, what about that "appoint­ment?"
Alan carefully reminded me that
the legal pad had effectively cancelled
that appointment from the first, and
company had simply provided her an
easy out.
But, you know, if I'd thought of it I
would have asked her why, if she can
"tell the future," she didn't know she
would have company when we made the
appointment?
And, what about that vibration
report? I mean, uh, how do those vibra­tions
look for some time around 3 p.m. on
Thursday?

Consul general clarifies News persons do not think before they speak
^ 5 „,. «•__«•_. „„. fair Rut. about other sectors of the world ea
Editor, The Plainsman:
As the Japanese government's repre­sentative
to six states of the U.S. South­east,
including Alabama, I wish to
thank Auburn University for its gra­cious
hospitality in inviting me to visit
its campus on July 21. However, I would
also like to take this opportunity to cor­rect
what I'm afraid is an extreme misin­terpretation
of views which I presented
in a lecture at Foy Union on that day.
In a front-page story appearing in the
July 23 edition of The Plainsman, I am
reported — in the story's third para­graph
— as saying that the causes of the
U.S. trade deficit are unfair trade res­trictions
and competition by the United
States' trading partners. In fact, the
main point of my lecture was exactly the
opposite: That is, that trade restrictions
by Japan and other U.S. trading
partners are, in the overall picture of
things, not a major factor in U.S. trade
deficits.
The major, fundamental causes of
America's trade imbalance consist of
such medium- and long-term factors as
massive U.S. budget deficits, the dollar's
formerly high exchange value against
the yen and other currencies, the
decades-long U.S. corporate strategy of
massive overseas investments, and the
propensities of the Japanese to save and
of Americans to spend. (And as far as
trade restrictions go, I pointed out that
U.S. restrictions on Japanese imports to
this country may actually exceed Japa­nese
restrictions on U.S. exports to
Japan.)
I made every effort to emphasize these
factors in my remarks—and to contrast
them with the false bogeyman of foreign
trade restrictions.
I appreciate this opportunity to clarify
my central message, and I look forward
to having the opportunity to visit
Auburn again on future occasions.

Put women in White House
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am appalled that anyone, woman or
man, would write a column entitled
"Does a woman belong in the White
House" and butress the argument with
statements which seem to show a lack of
knowledge of previous and present
international politics.
Patti Colegrove states that "given a
woman and a man equally qualified,
running for president, I would vote for a
man." The reasons given are that "if she
were elected, it's possible that our coun­try
will lose respect from various coun­tries.
Iran and Russia, for example...
They could consider a woman in the seat
of the presidency a gift. They might try
something that wouldn't normally be
considered if a man held the same
office."
Colegrove does not seem to realize that
every president in recent years has been
tested by Russia, and it would be hard to
conceive of something that they might
try on a woman that they had not dared
to try on a man. She is, of course, too
young to remember the Cuban missile
crisis which involved a distinctly male
president by the name of John F.
Kennedy.
Kennedy, like women today, was
someone that many thought could not
get elected. He was from a Boston Irish
background and Roman Catholic. There
had never been a Roman Catholic in the
White House. He was also very young,
and, as Russians thought, inexperi­enced.
Kennedy was forced to face down
Krushchev over the deployment of mis­siles
in Cuba early in his term. The Rus­sians
found this youngster to be unex­pectedly
tough. Every woman prime
minister that I know of is at least as
tough as Kennedy or any male president
or prime minister.
Colegrove only need recall Golda Meir
who was raised from age 8 in the United
States and who served as prime minister
of Israel from 1969-1974 or Indira
Ghandi who was serving her third term
as prime minister of India when she was
assasinated for her tough handling of
the Sikhs.
Margaret Thatcher continues to run
Britain and is one of the toughest politi­cians
in the business, both at home and
internationally. (We all remember her
handling of the Falklands War.)
Thatcher is known internationally as
the Iron Lady.
I notice that Ronald Reagan enjoys no
such respect. His administration cer­tainly
does not have the respect, though
perhaps fear, of the Iranians/Trading
arms for hostages is something that
none of these women prime ministers
would have done. And, as George Shultz
said in the Iran-Contra hearings, it was
a very lopsided deal. The Iranians have
handledxts well and are probably laugh-ingatusnow.
We will always need a competent pres­ident
surrounded by a competent staff.
What scares me is an incompetent presi­dent,
man or woman. Open your eyes or

Quote is blownup criticism
Editor, The Plainsman:
The headline story in the July 30 issue
of The Plainsman, "Professors age dis­crimination
suit begins," highlighted by
a defense attorney's blownup criticism
of the plaintiffs in the age discrimina­tion
suit, was incredibly irresponsible.
You and others who may have been
influenced by that highlighted quote,
should be reminded that attorneys
representing three different law firms
and far greater resources failed to per­suade
the jury in their favor.
After four and a half days of testi­mony,
evidence and argument, followed
by five hours of deliberation, the jury
responded unanimously and affirma­tively
to all 10 questions relating to the
guilt of the defendants and then
awarded the plaintiffs more than
$160,000 in salary deficiency damages.
La wsuits should be tried in court —not
on the front page of the campus
newspaper.

Editor, The Plainsman:
Since having begun reading The
Plainsman in 1982,1 have been relent­lessly
reminded that news persons in
general and editoralists in particular do
not think before they speak.
I have heard it said that one should
"put one's brain in gear before one's
mouth (or pen as is the case) goes into
motion." It would seem that such a sim­ple
requisite would be commonplace
with persons in the media. A well-thought
editorial should be of the first
order in importance along with personal
integrity. Where are these people learn­ing
their craft?
Randy Glazer has done it again. 111
not take issue with his population data,
though it is questionable. I'll not even
take issue with statements like "dooms­day
proportions" or "will cease to exist
possibly." I must though take issue with
Glazer's proposal.
I quote, "...Since we're responsible for
60 percent of the world's consumption.
At the very least we can cut the world's
consumption rate by 20 percent and be
at the forefront of a world unifying pro­gram
that would significantly increase
the credibility of the United States."
So, we cut the rate of consumption by
20 percent. This means slowing our con­sumption
in the United States to 80 per­cent
of its present level. I assume Glazer
would propose a roughly similar reduc­tion
in all economic markets, so as to be
fair. But, for discussion sake let's look at
the oil market that Glazer says will be
gone in about 60 years.
The oil workers in the states of Louisi­ana
and Texas are already sucking wind
because of fallen oil consumption. Make
such a proposal to them and their fami­lies
and watch the United States'
credibility.
Better yet, let's cut consumption of oil
by 20 percent and watch as we, to use
Glazer's term, "unify" with third world,
Persian Gulf countries as their major
source of national growth employment
drops by some large percentage. What
about other sectors of the world econ­omy
like the American farmer or the
Japanese auto and electronics worker?
How then would American credibility
measure up?
During the Depression consumer
expenditures on durable goods was
down by less than 2 percentage points
(Lance E. Davis, 1972 page 306).
I don't mind editorials. I do mind
irresponsibility. Particularly from one
in a supposedly responsible position.

Wake up and smell the coffee Colegrove
Editor, The Plainsman:
The point about Spades consisting,
year in and year out, of all men, is that if
it is a leadership" honorary, and if
women are systematically excluded,
then women are incapable of leadership.
You may believe this, but I do not.
As for the attitudes of Iran and Russia
toward women in this country, it might
be interesting to interview persons of
those nationalities to find out. You say
you don't know if women are considered
equals to men in those countries. I would

one good argument for an Equal Rights

Your thinking alarms me. How repre­sentative

Glazer is expert on quality of etc. Kantor should run for office
gp
Editor, The Plainsman:
Just a note to thank you for Randy
Glazer's column of July 30. It's always
interesting to see how arrogance will
; manifest itself, particularly in the
Northern, cosmopolitan elite, such as a
fellow who has at his fingertips inside
information on the reputation, and its
justification, of not only Auburn Uni­versity,
but Vanderbilt, Stetson, Duke,
:Emory, The University of Southern
-California and, my personal favorite,
etc.
It would seem that Glazer has made a
hobby of studying the merits and repu­tations
of this nation's institutions of
higher learning while at Auburn, since
he obviously made an ill-advised choice
as to where his higher education would
take place.
I must say that on first reading of my
horrible error in selecting Auburn, I was
saddened. But I have since come to
terms with it, comforting myself with
the belief that, as a rational being, it is
my duty to actively seek out the truth
and, having found it, accept it as the
only conceivable scenario.
Blame it on childish curiosity, but I
wonder if Glazer might happen to have a
fact or two at hand to warrant his com­parison
of Auburn with etc., Vandy,
USC and other institutions he named.
Because I am a lifelong resident of Ala­bama,
a relatively education-free state, I
don't know anything of those schools
other than their reputations, which,
well, if you think that tells you anything,
just wait until you hear what they think
of Auburn way up yonder in the Windy
City.
"Auburn sounds like a private, highly
scholastic institution."
So does conundrum. So does panacea.
Utterly riciculous. And it surely doesn't
do much for the assertion that the only
way people ever hear of Auburn is by
seeing a few of its attendees play
football.
But there are those three or four Chi-cagoans
who believe that Auburn is the
Harvard of the South. I thought Chica-goans
were supposed to be smart. Maybe
they're not. Maybe they are all stupid
enough to be from Alabama. Maybe my
expectations were unrealistic.
Rick Goff

Editor, The Plainsman:
I would admirably call Mark Kantor a
hero in the like mold of Lt. Col. Oliver
North. Kantor's column, "Conserva­tives
and Christians," was an inspira­tional
and long overdue addition to a
somewhat dull paper thus far this
summer.
His column not only presented a clear
rationale of the facts I had never heard
before, but also drew true American con­clusions.
I compare Kantor to North in
that both had the courage to stand up for
their beliefs. North stood up for the Con-tras
and for all the Americans that
believe in furthering democracy and
halting communism, and Kantor has
exhibited himself as an excellent protec­tor
of true American ideals.
His column was very i n formative and
I would enjoy the opportunity to read
some more of his columns. I commend
The Plainsman on choosing columnists
that present facts to back-up their
opinions. /
I would also like to encourage Kantor
to one day run for public office, because
this country needs his kind of leader­ship.
Lenin once described liberals in the
United States as, "the useful idiots who
would run interference for the Soviets
and their revolutions."
What this country needs is a few less
liberals (idiots), and a lot more conserva­tives
like Kantor.
Jefferson T. Graham '63
President D&L Enterprises
\:-: Women belong in Spades, White House
! Editor, The Plainsman:
So, Patti Colegrove, there are some
places women don't belong, eh? Like in
Spades and in the White House, eh?
Let's take your points one at a time.
"Women don't belong in Spades. If the
top 10 women from the senior class want
to form their own group, they should,
they could be called Diamonds." Yeah,
and if women wanted to join the Jaycees
(another group that started out for men
only), they could form their own group
called the Jayceettes.
This is what happened some time ago,
but the members realized how stupid it
was and the groups are now united. As a
member of the Florence Jaycees, I can
tell you that the organization is much
stronger and has more credibility since
it became non-discriminatory. (The
Decatur chapter suffered much humilia­tion
when they tried unsuccessfully to
keep a former Auburn Jaycees presi­dent,
who was female, out of their
group.)
The Kiwanis Club also now admits
female members — against tradition. If
the members of Spades don't want
"girls" in their club, let them form their
own club called Clubs or Puppy Toes. If
Spades is an official. University-recognized
honor society, it should be
open to all students, regardless of sex.
If a woman were elected president,
"it's possible that our country would lose
respect from various other countries.
Iran and Russia, for example." Should
we care? After the scandal with our male
president, I don't think Iran and Russia
could lower their respect any further.
I have never heard of Pat Schroeder,
but she will get the same consideration I
will give her opponents at election time.
In fact, women in authority usually
have to work twice as hard as men in
order to overcome the stupid prejudice
you're exhibiting.
If we do get a female president, she'll
probably be the best one in a long time,
simply because of how decisive, honest
and aggressive she would have to be to
get elected.

'Superior race'gets darker?
:*'
k-:-
Editor, The Plainsman:
A Friday has not passed since I've
been in summer school that someone
hasn't mentioned "getting some sun" for
the weekend. I see people everywhere
spending 30 minutes, sometimes hours,
lying in the sun. Often, the sun time is
much too long, leaving individuals in
pain. I've actually seen people who
couldn't be touched, even clothing hurt.
After the peeling is finished, the
desired tan presents itself. But by the
end of the week, the cyclic process starts
all over again.
Not only is suntanning dangerous, it's
a strange phenomenon for a people of
the "superior race" to want to become
darker. People who have a history of not
just disliking, but hating others for a
skin color darker than theirs, are con­tradicting
themselves when they tan.
But yet, these same individuals have no
problem enduring pain and risking their
lives to become that color — or close to it.
Why try to become something that you
hate? I cannot help but think that people
who purposely suntan themselves are
masochistic and hypocritical. The
immediate effects are painful and the
after effects are even worse.
Although I dp realize that we all have
our own unhealthy habits, this one has
got to be one of the strangest I've ever
run across.

Glazer doesn't know what he's talking about
Editor, The Plainsman:
Randy Glazer's column from the July
30 edition of The Plainsman has proven
to the world that he does not know what
he is talking about, even though he is a
speech communication major.
Having been a military brat when I
was growing up, I have also heard from
other people from around the United
States that Auburn is an excellent insti­tution.
When it got time to select a uni­versity
to attend where I could pursue
my dream of becoming an electrical
engineer, there was no other choice for
me but to come to Auburn.
Four years later, I am graduating and
will start graduate school in electrical
engineering here in Auburn.
The faculty has also distinguished
themselves, as the number of awards,
grants and research contracts at
Auburn keep multiplying. These facts
(which there seem to be a lack of in Glaz­er's
column) and the great number of
Auburn alumni who have distinguished
themselves in industry and business
have given Auburn the excellent reputa­tion
it rightly deserves, and not because
it has a great football team.
Some of us here have pride in Auburn
and what it stands for, and if Glazer
does not like it here, he can just take his
Yankee behind and get the heck out of
here.

Mines to microchips
Book traces history of Alabama industry
By Laura C. Barnwell
Assistant News Editor
The 1980's most closely resem­ble
the period of 1900 to 1920 eco­nomically,
according to Wayne
Flynt, author of Mine, Mill and
Microchip: A Chronicle of Ala­bama
Enterprise.
The book looks at more than
150 years of Alabama economic
development.
During both of these periods,
the Alabama economy "needed
highly skilled people to handle
new kinds of jobs, but (Alabama)
doesn't produce enough" highly
skilled people so we must import
skilled workers, Flynt said. This
lack of highly skilled people, he
said, "hinders economic develop­ment."
Based on his research for the
book, the Hollifield professor said
Alabamians have to sacrifice to
improve the state's economic
condition. The people "must pay
higher property taxes to fund bet­ter
education to attract better
jobs" to Alabama, Flynt said.
"Taxes, education and eco­nomic
well-being go hand in
hand." If Alabama "doesn't learn
that lesson" college graduates
"will find jobs in Atlanta" and
other large cities out of state
"because (they) will not find
decent jobs here," Flynt said.
The second similarity between
the two eras is the emergence of
one-industry towns, he said. The
one-industry towns of the early
1900s were Valley, Opelika and
Huntsville with textiles; Bir­mingham
with iron and coal; and
Mobile with logging, he said.
This is a "plea for diversifica­tion,"
Flynt said. The more diver­sified
a state is, the more stable
the economy is. "Georgia is an
example; it is much more diversi­fied
and has a much more sound
economy," Flynt said.
Flynt said another problem is
the state's lack of political vision.
Alabama "needs a whole lot of
political vision, (and) hasn't had
it in generations."
When the industries are look­ing
at new locations, "for high-tech,
at least, (they) go to where
education and culture is, where
you want to take your children
and spouse," Flynt said.
Companies are not going to ask
a high management person to
"relocate in Wetumpka or
Dothan, because the manage­ment
person will quit first or go to
another company, because there
is not a shortage of high man­agement
positions in these indus­tries,"
Flynt said.
"Only Huntsville has high-tech
possibilities because other areas
do not have the education or cul­ture
that you need" to attract new
industry, he said.
Huntsville has roughly 220,000
residents, Flynt said, and is pre­dicted
to reach 330,000 in the next
century.
A third of all engineers in Ala­bama
are employed in Hunts­ville,
Flynt said. "The average
age of engineers in Huntsville is
45," which he said is much older
than the national average. Com­pared
to other high-tech areas,
such as the Silicon Valley in Cali­fornia,
Huntsville has the high­est
concentration of high-tech
jobs compared to the total
number of jobs, Flynt said.
Huntsville engineers make
more on the average than, engi­neers
in other areas, but they are
also older, he said. These factors
make Huntsville a good place for
Auburn engineering graduates to
look for a good job.
The "brightest will still come
from outside" the state, Flynt
said. But "we're doing a heck of a
lot better...We're now growing a
lot of our own CEO's (Chief
Executive Officers).
"Taxes, education
and economic well-being
go hand in
hand."
—Wayne Flynt
"These type of entrepreneurs
are Alabama-born — Alabama
people who build their own com­panies
and get international
prestige," Flynt said. They do
something with the money, he
said. They "leave some here.
"They are giving their money
to Auburn, Alabama, UAH, UAB
and public schools," he said. It's
"not like when all the money
went back to New York."
Winton Blount, Blount Con­struction;
Houston Blount, Vul­can
Materials; John Harbert,
Harbert Construction; the late
Frank Samford, Torchmark Cor­poration;
Bill Rushton III, Pro­tective
Life Insurance Company;
and June Collier-Mason,
National Industry, are examples
of this type of entrepreneur, Flynt
said.
While economic trends predict
an increase in jobs of more than
the population increase, he said,
there w£l be "no real change in
nature," and the jobs will involve
"mainly service or manu­facturing."
The jobs are "not the kind a
baccalaureate graduate from
Auburn is going to stay for,"
Flynt said.
Flynt began his book two years
ago after being contacted by
Windsor Publications of Califor­nia.
The Alabama Business
Council (ABC) commissioned the
book. However, he said, "I'm a
historian. I'm not trying to gloss
over major problems " in order to
attract industry, Flynt said. "The
ABC did not ask me to gloss over
major problems or look over my
shoulder," Flynt said.
He accepted the job, he said, '
because he had been looking at
Alabama businesses "from the
bottom up for 15 years" while
r e s e a r c h i n g poor, Southern
whites, he said. This research
resulted in a book, Poor but
Proud: Alabama Poor Whites,
which will be published late next
summer, he said.
"I basically knew where I was
going when started," because, he
said, he spent "15 years getting
accustomed to the categories."
In Mine, Mill and Microchip,
Flynt had the chance to look at
"business and industry from the
top down."
In history "typically not deal­ing
with absolutes,"there are
always "two different sets of
i n f o r m a t i o n , " Flynt said.
Researching both points of view
"is rare, (people) usually look at
one way or the other," Flynt said.
"The book will be used to edu­cate
industries about the state *
and its resources," Flynt said.
In order to make the book
affordable to the general public,
companies were allowed to place
a one or two page sketch in the
back one-third of the book.
He described the company his­tories
essentially as "advertis­ing."
The book was "very expen­sive
to put together" because of
. all the color and black and white
photographs. Without the com­panies'
histories, the book would
have cost $60 to $70 dollars, Flynt
said.
B. Dalton bookstores will carry
the book statewide.
Savrda's article in Nature Campus Calendar
By Kimberly Bradley
Assistant News Editor
A study published in the natu­ral
science journal Nature by
University geology professor
Charles Savrda includes infor­mation
that will help evaluate
the petroleum source of potential
layers of rock.
The article entitled "The exae-robic
zone: a new oxygen defi­cient
marine biofacies," includes
information which is an "off­shoot"
of an original study on
trace fossils that he began in the
early 1980s, Savrda said.
By studying these trace fossils
or tracks, which act as a record of
whatever made them, Savrda
"We're trying to
change people's
views on this."
—Charles Savrda
developed a predictive model that
will make the distribution of body
fossils more understandable.
This model contradicts a pre­vious
model based on three zones
(aerobic, anaerobic and dysae-robic).
For instance, based on this
one, a geologist would say there is
an efficient amount of oxygen
available for organisms in a sed­imentary
basin, he said.
However, Savrda said that this
is not always true, and "we're try­ing
to change people's views on
this."
There are many chemical rea­sons
for the organisms being able
to live at such a low oxygen level,
one being that they were in close
association with sulfur oxyida-tion
bacteria, he said.
The oxygen-deficient modern
basins that the professor studied
included the 12 million-year-old
Miocene fossils of the Monterey
Formation in California, the Cre­taceous
rock of Kansas and Colo­rado
which are 70 million years
old, the 200 million-year-old
Jurassic fossils in Kentucky and
the 400 million-year-old Devo­nian
rock in Germany.
The knowledge will permit
geologists to better reconstruct
certain conditions in ancient sed­imentary
basins, but Savrda said
that it's not "purely an economic
reason" for doing research,
but an academic one also.
He said that it gives other geol­ogists
a better understanding of
certain things such as the palio-circulation
patterns in a basin.
Robert B. Cook, head of the
Geology Department, said that
publication in "NatUre,"is highly
competitive, because along with
"Science," it is one of the most
prestigious in the natural scien­ces."

H.S. students see
modern agriculture
"I've learned that agriculture
isn't just traditional farming. It's
really advanced science," says
Jessie Henry of Jackson.
"I've found out that agriculture
has a lot of individual study
areas that I never thought
about," observes Scott White of
Foley.
"My grandfather's a farmer,
but this has helped me to see that
there is more to agriculture," says
Jeannie Clark of Elba.
' These are just a few of the NCAA—
comment on it right now since it's
under investigation," Boland
said.
Boland said the University has
an active internal monitoring
program and explained that in
cases like this the committee
"will gather facts and then file a
report with the SEC and NCAA.
They (the University) will decide
to take the appropriate actions."
But, the eligibilty or ineligibil­ity
of Jeff Burger for the upcom­ing
season is not the main con­cern
of the athletic department.
observations of 45 of Alabama's
top high school juniors and
seniors who are getting a close
look at agricultural careers this
month on the Auburn University
campus.
A $27,500 grant from the Ala­bama
Farm Bureau Federation
and support from county Farm
Bureaus have made it possible for
Auburn to continue its summer
applied science program for Ala­bama
high school students.
The grant, announced earlier
by Federation President Good­win
Myrick, is providing 45 scho­larships
for outstanding high
school juniors and seniors to
attend the program, "Science and
Technology in Agriculture: A
Summer Honors Program 1987."
In 1985, Farm Bureau funds
launched the program, devised
by Auburn faculty members. Its
purpose is to introduce to stu­dents
the multi-faceted nature of
modern agriculture, which
includes not only traditional
farming methods but also highly
technical tools and techniques.
-continued from page 1
"Our main concern is Jeff
Burger the person rather than
Jeff Burger the quarterback. It
has been and always will be,"
Housel said. "He's a good kid."
Boland said after the internal
investigation has concluded, and
the University has taken approp­riate
actions, the NCAA could
either approve or disapprove the
report.
If a university declares an ath­lete
ineligible for intercollegiate
competition, to become eligible
again the university would
appeal to the NCAA.
CLARIFICATION
A brief in the Weekly Wrap-up
of the July 30 Plainsman
reported incorrect information
about a resolution passed by the
Student Senate.
The brief implied that conces­sion
funds were approved by the
Student Senate for the Lacrosse
Club and the Water Ski Club.
However, the resolution shows
only the senate's support of the
action, and approval can be
given only by President James
Martin or some other member of
the administration, not the
Board of Trustees as stated in the
brief.
The Plainsman regrets this
error. It is the policy of this news­paper
to correct all errors of fact.

WORLD
Tension in t h e Persian Gulf
may result in higher gasoline
prices for the world as fears
develop that Iran may launch
further r e t a l i a t i o n against
Kuwait or Saudia Arabia.
Oil experts claimed on Monday
that oil prices may jump $3 per
barrel by week's end. However,
even if prices increase, experts do
not. expect any significant
decrease in the world supply of
oil.
The gulf is the transfer point
for about 15 percent of the world's
oil supply.
Saudia Arabia and Iran
have been fighting a war of
words following the deaths of
402 Iranians during clashes at
the Islamic shrine of Mecca in
Saudia Arabia. Another 649 were
injured in the attack.
Leaders of Iran, who blame the
United States and Saudia Arabia
for the attacks, demanded
revenge on Monday as security
forces surrounded the Saudi and
Kuwaiti embassies in Iran.
Iranian leaders claim that
Saudi mercenaries working for
the United States master-minded
the attack to get revenge for the
supertanker Bridgeton, which hit
a mine in the gulf on July 24.
NATIONAL
The Federal Communica­tions
Board abolished the
F a i r n e s s D o c t r i n e by a
unanimous vote on Tuesday
because it claims the rule uncon­stitutionally
restricts freedom of
speech on TV and radio.
However, the "equal time" rule
will be unaffected by the change.
The 38-year-old rule will still
require TV stations and radio
stations to give different political
views equal time on the air.
Reagan administration appoint­ees
said the policy is no longer
needed, but supporters of the doc­trine
including Ralph Nader
claim the doctrine is needed to
ensure that minority views have
access to the airways. President
Reagan earlier this year vetoed a
bill that would have made the

$750,000 appropriation which
will make available free tickets
for 10 percent of the students par­ticipating
in the Schoolfest Pro­gram.
After several weeks, the Legis­lature
came up with the com­promise
because 25,000 students
attend the festival each year.
The Alabama Senate approved
a constitutional amendment
Monday that could lead to a state
pension for most elected officials,
including legislators.
The amendment was one of
many bills that won approval on
the final day of the 1987 regular
session. Currently, the Alabama
Constitution prohibits the pen­sions
for most elected officials
except judges.-
This amendment will permit
state pension for all city, county
and state elected officials except
those elected by state ballot.
Bills that died on the last
night of t h e regular session of
the Alabama Legislature would
have:
—Required deer hunters on
public and private land to wear
"500 square inches of orange
safety material."
—Deregulated the credit card
industry, allowing Alabama
banks to charge unlimited inter­est
and annual service fees on
Master Charge and VISA.
—Provided stiffer penalties for
drug dealers who were caught
with guns.

This new development is a
result of the controversy concern­ing
the playing site for the game.
Alabama officials say the con­tract,
which stipulates the game
be played in Birmingham,
between the two schools was
extended through 1991.
Auburn officials contend that
they have the right to choose
where the game should be played
after the contract ends, which
they say is in 1988.
"This is a game that should be
played — but we should have the
right to play our home game
where we want to," Dye said.
"They (Alabama) should have
the same right when it is their
home game."
Lloyd Nix, starting quarter­back
of Auburn's 1957 national
championship team, shared the
same feelings as Dye."
"I think that it should be
played every year," Nix said.
"The game is as traditional as
any other game and it should be
played on an annual basis. It
should also be played on the site

Dye's idea possible
if parity has eeked
into the conference
' BIRMINGHAM — When Pat Dye got to the
podium to begin the SEC '87 Kickoff preseason
press meetings last week, most of the writers
"expected to hear what he had returning and how
the team was shaping up for the season.
^The expectations were met as he reeled off
names, strengths and weaknesses on both offense
and defense.
With Auburn favored by many to win the cham­pionship,
Dye may have gone out on a limb when
lie picked Ole Miss or Tennessee to make the trip to
New Orleans on Jan. 1.
"Based on my knowledge of the SEC," he said,
"we are in store for another great year of football.
There are more teams with a chance to win the title
this year than there has been since I've been here."
"Not since 1980-82 has a team won consecutive
championships, when Georgia took two outright
£80 and '82) and shared the title in 1981 with Ala­bama.
The Crimson Tide won eight champion­ships
in the 1970s, and has claimed the crown
piore times (18) than any other conference team.
Although the other SEC coaches shrug off Dye's
suggestion that the Tigers might not lay claim to
only the third championship in the school's his­tory,
Dye may have a point.
• j-Each team in the conference technically has a
chance, just as every collegiate athlete technically
lias a chance to win the Heisman Trophy. But only
the strong survive and reach the pinnacle.
Go ahead and write off Vanderbilt, Mississippi
State and Kentucky. State would have the best
chance of the three to not finish in the lower half,
but it's doubtful. Rockey Felker still has a long
Way to bring his team before they can compete
'consistently enough to win it all. The last time the
-Bulldogs won the title was in 1941.
r^ Kentucky won in 1950 and shared with Georgia Pi 1976, and Vandy has never tasted Sugar,
oubtful that they will for a long time, either.

RINGIN' BELLS
Senior Kerwin Bell could become SEC's all-time best
'? ftp?--- ^tr-'T1-^"---*-—'*''.'' .''' ~~ •'•"- • •
By Rob Browne
Staff Writer
After three long years of NCAA
probation, the Florida Gators are
finally out of jail. Revenge may
not be an appropriate motive for
the Gators, but regaining self-respect
for their school is.
Scholarship reductions in the
last few years have hurt the
Gators. A lack of quality depth
helped lead to last year's disap­pointing
6-5 record. Week after
week, the Gators would stay with
their opponents for three quar­ters
and then fall apart in the
fourth quarter when the game
was on the line.
Too much pressure for the
sparse offensive line aided in the
Gator's demise. Early season
losses to Miami, Alabama, Mis­sissippi
State and LSU along
with the loss of quarterback Ker­win
Bell for several games were
too much to overcome.
Against Auburn, Bell returned
in the second half and led what
will be remembered as one of the
greatest comebacks in Florida
history. Bell scored a two-point
conversion to secure the 18-17
win.
After more than 50 years as a
member of the SEC, Florida has
never won the league champion­ship.
In 1984 the Gator's won it
all but were stripped of the title
after being found guilty of
numerous recruiting violations.
Florida's offense will be led by
Bell, returning for his senior
year. One of the nation's top
quarterbacks, he could become
the greatest statistical passer in
SEC history.
Bell passed for more than 1,500
yards and 10 TDs despite missing
several games due to injury. A
crew of sophomores will be catch­ing
the Heisman Trophy candi­date's
passes. Leading the pack
will be sophomore Stacey Sim­mons
and Tony Lomack..Tight
end Mark McGriff 'returns"tfsr
another year, as does Clifton
Reynolds.
The Gators' running attack
should be improved over last
year. Returning to spark the
ground game are Octavius Gould,
Wayne Williams and James
Massey. Incoming prep Ail-
American Emmitt Smith was
sought by every major college in
the nation last winter, but
decided to stay home and play for
the Gators. Hall needs fullback
Anthony Williams to step for­ward
and help secure a strong
running game.
The offensive line will be led by
All-America candidate David
Williams. Joining Williams on
the line will be guards Bob Sims
and Richard Starowesky along
with tackle Jimmy Davis. The
Gators will be thin in the
trenches, and several young
players should get an opportu­nity
to play early.
The Gator defense will be led
by Clifford Charlton, one of the
nation's premier linebackers.
Joining Charlton will be All-
American candidate Jarvis Wil­liams,
who returns as the SEC's
top strong safety.
The defensive line returns all
three starters from last year.
Noseguard Jeff Roth will anchor
the middle, and Andy Weston
and Henry Brown will contain
the outsides.
Jason Lamberth, Todd Gatlin
and Pat Moorer will join Charl­ton
at linebacker.
Hall has said the Gator secon­dary
will be one of the strongest
parts of the team. Joining Willi­ams
will be cornerbacks Ricky
Mulberry, Tony Jones and free
safety Louis Oliver. The Gator
defense is in need of depth and
injuries could spell doom for the
Gators at any position.
Florida will have to play
Miami, Alabama, LSU and
Auburn on the road. The Georgia
game is in Jacksonville, as usual.
With such a young team, the
tough road schedule may prove
costly if injuries crop up.

Dye, Wall run successful department
"DYE"-NAMO
Head coach Pat Dye is concerned about team
Plainsman Files
Editor's'Note: This is the second
in a two-part series in which The
Plainsman looks at the jobs of
athletic directors and head foot­ball
coaches.
By Michael Doughterty
Staff Writer
What began as a contrasting
study between Alabama's two-man
post and Auburn's single
position holder turned into a
comparison with a slight
variation.
Pat Dye is the official leader of
both Auburn's football team and
athletic department, but it is
Hindman Wall, the man behind
the scenes, who helps keep
Auburn on track to a successful
program.
"Auburn is basically under a
two-man post much like Ala­bama,"
explains Associate
Sports Information Director
Mike Hubbard. "Dye is the head
coach and official athletic direc­tor,
but for all practical purposes
Wall is our A.D. (athletic
director)."
As Auburn history will tell you,
when Dye came to the Plains in
January of 1981. as the head '
coach, the football program and
the athletic department were in
trouble. The Tigers were coming
off a 5-6 year while the athletic
department was consistently
working in the red.
Four months later, the position
of athletic director became avail­able
and Dye applied. The higher-ups
liked what they saw in their
new coach and seized the oppor­tunity
for a change of pace. And,
as they say, the rest is history.
Dye, Auburn's 22nd head foot­ball
coach, has tallied 52 wins to
only 20 losses in his six-year stint
for a .722 winning percentage —
the best six-year record in
Auburn history. He has coached
the Tigers to five bowl games and
has had six of his players selected
All-American, while 29 have
earned first-team All-SEC posi­tions.
In addition, the native of
Blythe, Ga., is the director of 18
intercollegiate sports.
"Dye is the head
coach...but for all
practical purposes
Wall is our A.D."
—Mike Hubbard
Before coming to Auburn, Dye
was head coach at both Wyoming
and East Carolina but never held
the athletic directorship. Though
officially the athletic director,
Dye passes many of the A.D.
responsibilities to Wall, his asso­ciate
athletic director. Wall car­ries
out the daily operations and
runs the athletic department
from an administrative point of
view.
"I don't think there is a man in
the country that can completely!
and efficiently run both pos^
tions," Wall said, who served as
athletic director at Cincinnati
and Tulane before coming to
Auburn. "There simply aren't
enough hours in the day to han­dle
the things that need to be
done at this level."
Wall doesn't see Auburn as
having a disadvantage over
other schools with the two jobs
split. Auburn is one of the few
schools remaining that has one
man serving as head coach and
athletic director.
*
"It all depends on the situa­tion,"
Wall said. "If the right
combination of respect, freedom,
and responsibility is there, then
the system will be sucessful. Pat
and I have this type of
relationship." '.
Sugar, conference
ink extended pack
By Alan d e m o ns
Sports Editor
The Southeastern Conference
and the Sugar Bowl will continue
their partnership for three more
years; it was announced last
week in Birmingham.
The two groups inked a three-year
pact with the option of
reviewing the contract after the
1990 game. The Sugar Bowl is
played in the Louisiana Super-dome
in New Orleans on Jan. 1 of
each year.
The monetary worth of the con­tract
wasn't revealed, but Sugar
Fullwood signs
$1.5 million deal
with Packers
Twelve days into training
camp, the Green Bay Packers
signed their first-round draft
pick, Brent Fullwood, to a
reported threeryear contract
worth $1.5 million •
After lenghty negotiations
between Fullwood's agent
George Kickliter and Green Bay
team executive Tom Braatz, the
NFL's No. 4 draft pick became
the second highest selection to
sign.
Out of the top six selections,
Fullwood and Tampa Bay's
Vinny Testaverde are the only
picks to negotiate contracts.
"It was strictly a matter of
money," said Braatz, explaining
why negotiations had dragged
on.
"He has a job to do and it's
never easy when you're dealing
with either a good veteran or a
high draft pick," Kickliter said.
Fullwood said despite missing
the first twelve days of training
camp, he has been running each
day to keep in shape. Fullwood
said he will concentrate mostly
on learning the Packers' offen­sive
scheme.
Clemons-^ai?e *Q
LSU is considered to be the
other team to give Auburn fits
and with good reason. Quarter­back
Tommy Hodson and
receiver Wendell Davis are a
deadly tandem, and a tough line
on both sides of the ball will help
immensely.
Dye pointed out another key to
the possible success of his troops.
"There is a fine line to being a
champion and not being one," he
said. "How good a team ends up
has a lot to do with intangibles."
Distractions such as money,
agents and drugs can cause
headaches galore. The Brent Full-wood
incident last January
raised eyebrows at the academic
status of athletes, something else
to consider.
Tiger defensive back Kevin
Porter said he believed Full-wood's
plight "was blown out of
proportion, because I know stu­dents
(who are not athletes) that
miss a month of classes. You
never hear about them."
Auburn's schedule has been
ranked as one of the toughest in
the country and should also play
a significant role in the outcome.
Texas, Kansas, North Carolina
and Georgia Tech will all be
tough in their own right.
In previous meetings against
those four teams, Auburn has a
combined record of 47-47-5. The
Tigers have never faced Kansas
before.
"We've reached a point at
Auburn to have a good football
team," Dye said. "I know this
year is a season we're excited
about."
Bowl officials said it would be
competitive with other such New
Year's bowls — the Orange, Cot­ton
and Fiesta.
The two teams competing in
the Sugar Bowl represent the
SEC champion, though Sugar
Bowl officials have the right to
choose the teams. In the 53 pre­vious
Sugar Bowl games, at least
one SEC team competed in 46 of
the games.
The conferences of the schools
competing in the game, as in
other bowl games, take the
money earned and divide it up
equally between the conference
schools. Georgia and Pittsburgh
netted $900,801 a piece in 1982,
and the figures have gone up
since then. LSU and Nebraska
took $2.6 million after last year's
game.
Sugar Bowl officials also added
another clause in the contract
which should end any disputes
y
about the host team for the game.
Last season, LSU defeated
Alabama in the regular season
and went on to clinch the SEC
title with two weeks left in the
season. Though Alabama had a
chance at sharing the champion­ship,
Tiger fans were upset that
the bowl didn't go ahead and take
LSU.
Officials decided that in the
event of a tie, the host team will
not be selected until all games
that could have a bearing on the
title race have been played.
Sugar Bowl President Jerry E.
Romig said that the bowl com­mittee
was "pleased with the out­come
of the negotiations with the
SEC.
"We believe that with the South­eastern
Conference, we have the
nation's premier conference," he
said. "With the cooperation of the
USF&G and ABC-TV, we were
able to create a package which
was attractive to the 10 members
of the SEC."
ABC has broadcast the Sugar
Bowl games since 1970 and has
an agreement to televise the
game through 1991. The next
three games under the contract
call for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.

Season bright if'intangibles'help
By Alan demons
Sports Editor
BIRMINGHAM — Auburn
head coach Pat Dye took the
podium last week to begin the '87
Kickoff preseason football meet­ings
with some concern about the
media's predictions of a confer­ence
championship.
"I know a lot of you have put us
in a place we don't belong as a
leading contender to win the con­ference
championship," Dye
said. "We'll just have to wait and
see. I don't think it's an issue and
I'm not going to try to avoid it."
After winning the SEC champi­onship
in 1983, the first since
1957 for the Tigers, Dye's teams
hovered around the top mark in
the preseason polls for the next
two years. An outside shot at the
championship was eliminated
last season when Georgia won
20-16.
"We've reached a point at
Auburn where we're established
enough to have a good football
team this year," he said. "It will
probably be about like it's been
the last few years."
"We wanted to have an estab­lished
team after spring drills,"
Dye explained. "Injuries hurt us
bad, along with graduation." The
Tigers lost the heart of the
offense in center Ben Tambu-rello,
guard Yann Cowart, tail­back
Brent Fullwood and full­back
Tommie Agee.
"There are no tailbacks with
the speed and quickness to fill
Brent's place," he said. "We are
going to rely on passing and ball-control
more than having a back
that can produce a threatening
run."
The offensive line has some
question marks, but Dye likes
what he sees in returnees Jim
Thompson and Vincent Jones.
"I think those two are corner­stones
to build the line around,"
he said. "Walter Reeves is
another one we are counting on.
The progress of Vincent Jones is
a big key to the development of
John Hudson." Hudson is the
apparent heir to fill the vacancy
left b
