Alabama has become the
fist state in the nation to outlaw
marital rape following
Gov. Guy Hunt's approval of a
-biff last Thursday. This ends
Alabama's distinction as the
only state where it is legal for
a.man to rape his wife.
. 'This bill is needed because
it protects women separated
from their husbands, but not
divorced," Hunt said after
signing the bill. -
tinder the hew law, husbands
who force their wife to
have sex will be treated like -
any other rapist. A conviction
of first degree rape could bring
a sentence of life in prison.

Senate approves
ticket proposal
By Vicki Vessels
Staff Writer
Problems of overcrowding and
alcohol in the student section at
home football games were the
subjects of a proposal approved
by the Student Senate Monday
night.
SGA officers and members of
the athletic department will
meet next week to discuss the
details of. the proposal. "Things
are still sort of up in the air right
now," Scott Turnquist, president
pro tempore of the Senate, said.
According to the original
week prior to each game, instead
of being offered to the general
public. This way students will
have priority for the seats, Turnquist
said.
Although the original proposal
of season tickets was designed for
the 1989 football season, the SGA
voted to try to implement the
changes this fall.
The athletic department
sounded receptive to trying the
game-by-game sales this season,
but the paperwork involved may
still delay it until 1989, Murphy
said.
The SGA is also working with

athletic department proposal,
students would have to purchase
a season ticket book at a cost of
$144 to bring a guest to a game.
However, these tickets will be
in the end zone in assigned seats
instead of in the student section.
"It's a privilege to have guests,
"any way, so it's their option," said
Mark Murphy, SGA vice president.
"It is the student section.
Students should have the better
seats (than guests)."
The athletic department will
increase the student and guest
section to 2,000 seats depending
on the demand created by the
season ticket sales, Murphy said.
But the SGA has added a condition
that the leftover guest
tickets also be sold to students on
a game-by-game basis during the
the Interfraternity Council and
Panhellenic to define the blocks
in the block-seating section and
allow them on a reserved-seat
basis only, he said.
Enforcement of the block seat-,
ing will involve guards making
sure people don't spread out of
their blocks, Murphy said.
Within the blocks, students may
sit wherever they want.
The student guest seating in
the end zone, however, will be
enforced just like the traditional
guest seating where people will
have to sit in their specified seats,
he said.
"Keep in mind this is not going
to hurt what already exists," he
said. "This is just adding
options."
Auburn PK A member arrested in FSU incident
By David Sharp
News Editor
An Auburn Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity member was arrested
last Friday in connection with
the March 5 rape and assault of a
Florida State University coed by
two members of the fraternity's
FSU chapter.
Jason J. McPharlin, 01GLA, of
Plantation, Fla., was charged as
an accessory to a felony and for
failing to report a sexual battery,
according to police officials. He is
now free on $6,000 bond.
On Tuesday, a three-member
FSU panel voted to disband the
Pi Kappa Alpha chapter at FSU
for five years.
Ray Orians, executive vice
president of Pi Kappa Alpha in
Memphis, Tenn., said the
national chapter will withhold
comment until it has received all
the facts.
"We're still in the fact gathering
stage," Orians said. "We're
waiting for a report from the
university regarding the incident."
After the report is received, the
national chapter will decide
whether to support or fight the
university's decision to disband
the chapter, he said.
McPharlin, 19, could not be
leached for comment. Neither
Auburn's. Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity
chapter's officers nor
anyone at the Interfraternity
Council had any comment on the
incident.
The 18-year-old coed was
allegedly raped by two fraternity
members.
FSU junior Daniel G. Oltarsh,
23, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and
Orlando, Fla., native Byron L.
Stewart, a 21-year-old student at
Tallahasee Community College,
were arrested on charges of sexual
battery.
Both lived in the fraternity
house and could face up to life in
prison if convicted.
Officials said McPharlin is
charged with helping carry the
unconscious rape victim to the
neighboring Theta Chi fraternity
house where she was left in the
hall at 5:30 a.m. The victim had a
blood-alcohol content of .35 percent.
A person is legally intoxicated
at .10 percent.
The victim had multiple
scratches and cuts and also had a
fraternity symbol and crude
words written on her thighs.
A grand jury concluded last
week that the coed was raped by
more than one person and was
left at the neighboring fraternity
house in life-threatening condition.
AU spending $1.5 million on suit defense
Defendants file motions
for dismissal of case
By Paul DeMarco
Assistant Features Editor
Auburn has spent upward of
$1.5 million in legal fees to defend
itself against a major desegregation
suit by the U.S. Justice
Department, said Rhett Riley,
vice president of business and
finance.
The legal fees have accrued
from 1982 to March 1988, and
have been paid out of the general
fund, Riley said.
"We set aside the money for the
legal fees in the budget at the
beginning of the year," Riley
said. "Obviously, the money
could be spent on other University
projects."
In the past two weeks, attorneys
for the defendants in the
case, including the University,
have filed motions to dismiss the
case.
The defendents claim in their
dismissals that the federal
government did not adequately
notify the universities that they
were in violation of any federal
laws.
The case is resuming in U.S.
District Court under Sam Pointer,
the Chief Judge of the Northern
Alabama District. Pointer
took over the case after the 11th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled that significant errors were
made in the original suit.
The court ruled that District
Judge U.W. demons, who presided
over the desegregation trial
in 1985, should have stepped
down because he had earlier been
involved in landmark civil rights
litigation while an attorney.
The suit was refiled with an
amended complaint by the Justice
Department against the public
universities March 29.
A Writ of Certiorari was filed
by the Knight intervenors, a
group of students supporting the
plaintiff asking to reinstate
Judge Clemons in the case.
The Supreme Court will make
the decision, and if the court
approves this motion, the case
will have to hold until the court

A Phi O moves into L Building
By Mary Hanks
Staff Writer
Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity,
which operates the book
exchange and takes care of Tiger
VI, has been relocated to a new
office in the L Building.
"We're not happy about the
situation," said Harlan Price,
Alpha Phi Omega's president
and a brother since 1982. "We
now have less than half the space
we had before which has forced
us to put a lot of our stuff in storage.
It's not adequate."
Alpha Phi Omega fraternity
members hope the move is temporary,
Price said. In the new
location, there is not enough
room to accommodate the eagle if
there is dangerous weather, he
said.
The Plainsman began its
initial request for additional
space in 1983 and has since made
several requests to the University's
Space Allocations Committee.
Several changes will occur
when the move is completed.
University publications Circle
magazine and the Tiger Cub both
will now have office space in the
front of the present Glomerata
office.
The Glomerata will move into
the larger office next door to its
present office which was occupied
by Alpha Phi Omega.
The Plainsman will maintain
its present office and will also
expand into the rear of the present
Glomerata office.
The Plainsman is paying the
entire cost of the relocation for
the Glomerata and Alpha Phi
Omega, Plainsman adviser Ed

Correction
In last week's front page article,
"Martin's Far East travels
culturally rewarding," the
author made two significant
mistakes.
First, the article gave the
impression that Dr. James Martin
took a train from mainland
China to Taiwan, which is
impossible because Taiwan is
an island, separated from
China by a strait.
Second, Martin's quote concerning
the army.' was misplaced
and ended up, in the
story, after he had arrived in
Taiwan. This too I am told by
natives of Taiwan, is impossible
because Taiwan functions
under a government similar to
the United States, and soldiers
there don't arbitrarily stop
trains.
The Plainsmandeeply regrets
the errors and asks its readers to
refer to Dr. Marvel's letter on
page A-8 for a more detailed
explanation of errors in the
- article.

Age discrimination suit appealed
By Phil Crane
Staff Writer
The Eleventh U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in Atlanta has
heard arguments from the University
about a federal court decision
last summer awarding
$164,000 to five professors for age
discrimination.
The federal court awarded the
settlement, which consists of
three years back damages, after
the jury ruled that Auburn wilfully
discriminated against the
professors.
One of the professors, Dr. Milton
Alexander of management,
said he is planning to file another
discriminatory retaliation suit
against the University.
"We won our case, but we didn't
get justice. I haven't seen one
penny of the $164,000," the 66-
year-old Alexander said.
"It seems to be standard tactics
in age discrimination cases," he
said. "They hope the professors
will retire while the legal action is
going on."
Auburn's attorney Thomas
Samford said it could be eight to
10 weeks before a decision is
reached and said it would be
i n a p p r o p r i a t e to comment
further at this time.
Alexander was awarded
$36,000 in the decision last
August. The other professors
receiving compensatory damages
were Dr. Winfred Shaw, 51,
of the department of mechanical
engineering; Dr. Waldir Peder-soli,
55, of the department of physiology
and pharmacy; David M.
Hall, 51, of the department of textile
engineering; and Dr. Charles
R. Snow, 55, of the management
department.
However, only Hall and Snow
received raises after the federal
court decision, according to the
University's budget.
Alexander's attorney Julian
McPhillips said the legal grounds
for the professors' case were solid
and an abundance of evidence
was produced to disqualify the
University's reasons for denying
raises for some of the professors.
The University attorneys cited
two reasons: Older professors are
less productive, and the market
compels them to attract new professors
at higher wages.
Whatever the appeal decision
is, Alexander said he plans other
court battles in the future.
In the new suit which Alexander
is planning, he said the
University has taken recriminatory
action against him and cited
these examples:
— He didn't get a raise last fall.
— For the first time, he was
barred from teaching night
classes at Troy State University.
— He and Snow were assigned
to teach an undergraduate course
from 5-7 p.m. for the first time in
20 years.
Snow said a lot of the things
that happened to Alexander also
happened to him. He was only
given a 1 percent raise and was
removed from several committees.
"Even if we get a little money
from this, the new hire rates will
be higher next year. They hire
new assistant professors at equal
or more pay than I get after 18
years," Snow said.
McPhillips said, "If we win, it
will probably be all over for the
University. If Auburn wins, however,
it will either go back down to.'
the district court level or to the;
Supreme Court."
Alexander said, "The University
has already spent close to $1"
million on this, while the library
could have used it. ;
"It would have cost far less if
they had tried to work it out thre
years ago," Alexander said.

Remembering mothers near, far
Housemothers
give advice,
lend support
By John Crenshaw
Staff Writer
There is usually only one room
in fraternity houses that is quiet
and well-kept, the housemothers'.
Housemothers play an important
role in the success of a
fraternity.
"There are 20 fraternities with
housemothers," Gene Smith,
I.F.C. adviser, said. "The ones
without housemothers have been
either granted a one-year waiver
or are in the process of getting
one."
"If they don't get a housemother
in a year they can be put
on social probation," Smith said.
Most are paid about $1,200 a
quarter, but it varies. A housemother
can financially be a
burden on a chapter," he said.
There are few eligibility
requirements for housemothers,
Smith said. They must not be an
undergraduate student, but sex,
age and marital status are left up
to the individual chapters.
"Most of the housemothers at
Auburn are either widowed or
unmarried and are about 50 years
old," Smith said.
Nell Bell, the housemother at
Sigma Pi, is similar to Smith's
description. "My husband died in
1981; I lived alone when one day I
was talking to a friend of mine
who is a dorm mother here at
Auburn," Bell said.
"I told her how lonesome it was
to go home and be there by yourself.
She suggested I look into
coming to Auburn."
Helen Estes, 79, has been a fraternity
housemother longer than
any of her peers. She began working
with Farmhouse fraternity 17
years ago. "I used to be the
housemother for girls over at
Genelda Dorm," Estes said.
"My brother owned the house
Farmhouse is in. When the fraternity
was chartered my brother
suggested that I be the housemother."
Margaret Stewart, 64, has been
working at the Beta Theta Pi
house for two years. "My son was
the president here at the Beta
house," Stewart said.
"He called and said they
needed a housemother. I am a
Sons, daughters share anecdotes,
some amusing, others sentimental
POW/MIA wife, and I thought it
would be neat."
Duties of housemothers vary
with each fraternity, but some
are common to all. Most make the
menu, order food and see that
there are plenty of refreshments
at rush and socials.
"I get up every morning at 4 to
wash the dishes so the boys will
talk with me about their troubles.
I try to give them motherly
advice."
"Parents like to see a fraternity
with a housemother; it reflects a
stable environment," Smith said.
Being a housemother also
involves putting up with a lot of
noise, parties and alcohol.
"I have gotten used to it; I can
'I feel like I am here to take their
mothers' place.'
- N e l l Bell
have hot water when they get
up," Estes said.
Bruce Bunce, 03 HRMN, a
Sigma Pi brother, said, "She
helps organize the kitchen. It
wouldn't be the same without

"I feel like I'm here to take their
mothers' place," Bell said.
Dave Dere, 02 PAE, a Farmhouse
brother, said, "I think of
her more as a friend than a
mother."
Stewart said, "They come and
block out the noise," Stewart
said.
"Noise from parties doesn't
bother me; I'm out there with
them," Estes said. She has the
advantage of working with a
non-drinking fraternity.
Bell said, "Alcohol is a problem,
but because there is togetherness
and brotherhood they
look out after each other."

Memories, not only flowers,
gifts and cards, are what make
Mother's Day a day of celebration.
People from Cindy Holland to
President Martin to Coach Pat
Dye were each asked to recall
their memories of mom, some
sentimetal and some humorous,
as Mother's Day approaches this
Sunday.
Cindy Holland, 03 PRJ and
SGA president, said, "Mom and I
are famous for taking weekend
retreats to shop and play. We do it
every year. That time is special
because Mom and I are best
friends.
"I'm not good at buying presents,
but one year we threw her a
surprise party on Mother's Day,"
she said.
President James Martin's
fondest memory of his mom dates
back to when he was in the Army
at Fort Carson in Colorado
Springs, Co. "Ann and I were
engaged. Mother and father
drove out to celebrate Mother's
Day with me, and they brought
Ann with them. It was a special
Mother's Day because my mother
knew I would not be able to see
Ann until October."
Mrs. Ann Martin said, "The
older I get the more I appreciate
my mother's thoughtfulness.
Once she flew out from Birmingham,
Ala., to Stillwater,
Okla., carrying a pound cake in
her lap the whole way.
"On Mother's Day, I used to
give her my service with .an
I.O.U. good for two weeks of
washing dishes," she said.
Mrs. Martin said she taught
her children the meaning of
Mother's Day and the responsibility
of being thoughtful when
they were young.
"I took them to the store and
told them I'd meet them at the
checkout counter in 30 minutes.
They had to buy me gifts using
their own money. I didn't care
what they got me, but I do*
remember getting a toothbrush
and a bar of soap," she said.
Dr. Joseph Kicklighter,
associate professor of history,
said, "My parents died when I
was 9 years old. I was taken in by
a childless aunt, and two years
later my grandmother (who was
also my aunt's mother) died.
"On the next Mother's Day I
wore my white boutonniere, and
my aunt burst into tears when
she saw it because she realized
she had to wear a white instead of
red corsage. She looked down at
me and said, 'But I've got you,
and now I can go on.'"
Kicklighter said his aunt has
been his biggest cheerleader and
has worked hard to help him realize
his ambitions. "She had a
stroke in the '70s. Now every
occasion with her is a Mother's
Day knowing how much she
needs me and what I can do for
her."
Coach Pat Dye said he
always enjoyed the lunches his
mom packed him for school. Her
chocolate cakes were unsurpassed,
he said.
native of Honduras, said, "When
I was in 10th grade, my class
decided to elect my mother Mom
of the Year."
Dr. Ford Laumer, assistant
marketing professor, said, "Two
years before my mother died, my
sister and I made an effort for all
the grandchildren to be with her
on Mother's Day. That means a
lot to us now."
Derek Crownover, 03 GSC
and an Auburn baseball player,
said when he was 8 years old he
got a BB gun. "I shot at a rock,
and the BB ricocheted and broke
my neighbor's truck window. My
mom made me tell the man and
pay for it with my allowance. It
cost $56.43. What a -character
builder for me."
Basketball Coach Sonny
Smith said he and his mom used
to sing gospel songs for neigh-
'The older I get the more I appreciate
my mother's thoughtfulness.' 3
—Mrs. Ann Martin
Sandra Stephens, 03 PRJ
and head cheerleader, said, "My
favorite memory of my mom is
when she and I would go to the
Auburn football games when I
was still in high school. Since my
dad was the announcer and my
brother was in the AU band,
Mom and I sat together in the
stands. We are the biggest
Auburn fans in the world."
Bret Pippen, 04 GJM and editor
of The Auburn Plainsman,
said, "I suffered from asthma
when I was a child, and I
remember my mom coaxing me to
sleep with stories and rubbing
my back."
Trey Johnston, president of
J&M Bookstore, said, "My
mother read to us from the Child
Craft books every night. Being a
new parent, I can appreciate that
now.
"When I was a child, I gave my
mother a letter telling her that
anything she wanted done on
Mother's Day I would do it. She
asked me to take out the trash in
the middle of a ballgame, and I
wouldn't do it — until later," he
said.

Sissy Costner, 03 GSC and a;
high jumper for the women's;
track team, made a Mother's Day'
card using the names of candy!
bars to create a poem. "My mom's!
a chocolate freak," she said.:
"She's full of laughs andj
Snickers. We live on Old Loony;
Mill Road, and most people think
that's fitting for our family."
. Erin Evans, 03 CEC and MissI
Homecoming, said, "After win-;
ning almost last place in a gym-;
nasties meet, Mother covered my
humiliation with praise and •
bragged as if I were the up and
coming Nadia Comenicci."
Rob Clifton, 02 GPG and head
mike man for the cheerleaders,
said "I drove home to surprise my
mom on Mother's Day last year,
and she had gone to Florida for
the weekend."
Dozier Smith T, 03 AC, said,
"My mother has the best Christian
heart. She always leaves
notes on my bed to congratulate
me when I accomplish something."

Dignitaries attend
as 'long-awaited'
day finally arrives
By Lanna Middleton
Staff Writer
Speakers at the Ralph B.
Draughon Library groundbreaking
ceremony Saturday said they
foresee increased services,
research capabilities and a solution
to overcrowding when the
library expansion is complete.
The groundbreaking initiated
the largest construction contract
in the University's history. The
$20.5 million project includes
additions to the library as well as
a 345-space parking deck.
"This is a long-awaited day for
Auburn," President James Martin
said. "More than any other
unit, the library serves every
other unit." Yet the library is
straining its seams to accommodate
the almost 20,000 University
students, he said.
SGA President Cindy Holland
said the students recognize that
they're here to get an education
through the faculty and books.
Knowing that education begins
in the classroom and the
library, the students are "excited
that we're part of the student
body that watches it grow," Holland
said.
The library will have approximately
380,000 square feet and
2.5 million books', as opposed to
the current 175,000 square feet
and 1.45 million books. About
1,000 seats will be added to the
present 1,200.
The project's architect is Pearson,
Humphries and Jones of
Montgomery, and the contractor
is Harbert International of
Birmingham.
University Librarian William
C. Highfill mentioned the
increased library access and
future features such as a computer
room.
Auburn President Emeritus
Harry M. Philpott spoke of the
ceremony as an occasion to "rejoice
in the memory of Ralph B.
Draughon, the 10th University
president for whom the library is
named." '
Representing the faculty,
Library Committee Chairman
James E. Clark said the groundbreaking
might be the one occasion
the faculty speaks with one
voice and says it loves the
library.
Citing the variety among the
faculty, Clark said some are good
at math, some are good at athletics
and "some of us get parking
places," he said jokingly.
The construction project is
funded through a $7.4 million
state bond issue, a $5.4 million
University bond issue, $2.7 million
from University-raised^
funds and $5 million in private'
contributions.
Contributions of $1 million
each were made to the project by
the athletic department and the
Callaway Foundations, Inc. •."
Other speakers at the cerenv
ony were Auburn Foundation
President J. Gilmer Blackburn
and Board of Trustees President
Pro Tempore William F. Nichols.

Apartheid opponents
accept any money
By Tom Watkins
Staff Writer
Communist countries are contributors
to the struggle against
apartheid, according to Malombo
Ntshilontshilo, a member of.the
African National Congress
(ANC).
In a speech before '.17 people in
Foy Union April 23 Ntshilontshilo
said the democratic movement
in South Africa cannot
afford to screen contributors on
the basis of religious or political
ties. "So long as the money has
got no strings attached, we take
it," he said. "Beggars can't be
choosers."
The ANC representative said
the United States has not given
the movement any money. "If
perhaps -Jessie Jackson came to
power and decided to give us
weapons or money, you think
we'd say no?
"Our struggle has reached the
point of no return," said Ntshi-lontshilo.
A Freedom Charter
drafted in 1955 has been adopted
by most all organizations of the
democratic movement.
Those signing the document
pledge to fight for basic freedoms
and effect changes in the political
and economic systems of South
Africa.
'Beggars can't
be choosers.'
—Malombo
Ntshilontshilo
"We have people who believe in
Christ, who believe in the Moslem
religion, but they all have one
thing in common," Ntshilontshilo
said. "The Freedom Charter.
And they have one purpose,
to destroy the racist regime."
Ntshilontshilo commended the
United States for its support and

contributions to the movement,
but stressed continued divestment.
The divestment of U.S.
corporations could mean a
crunch on the government,
according to the ANC representative.
"And that crunch will be
the end of apartheid," he said.
Before returning to Africa,
Ntshilontshilo said he plans to
make stops in Atlanta and Birmingham.
His two-week tour
through the United States is
being coordinated by the Young
Socialist Alliance. The Auburn
Alliance for Peace and Justice
sponsored the lecture.
Spring brings new life
By Sarah Hicks
Staff Writer
With spring comes new life,
high spirits and — at Auburn —
more students.
College enrollment is growing
nationwide, and Auburn is no
exception. Total enrollment at
Auburn is up 391 people, or 2.3
percent, from this time last year,
according to Auburn's reistrar
Tom Stallworth.
Stallworth attributes the overall
growth to the University's
academic reputation, reasonable
rates and preferred location.
"Spring quarter is a reflection
of fall," Stallworth said, and fall
enrollment at Auburn was the
highest it has ever been.
Women and students over age
25 have shown the greatest
increase in enrollment. Women
make up 316 or 4.3 percent of
Auburn's student body, and older
students increased 3.4 percent
from five years ago.
Enrollment of women in universities
is growing nationwide,
and at Auburn probably because
'Spring quarter
is a reflection of
fall.'
— Tom
Stallworth
women have traditionally shown
an interest in education at an car -
Her age, Stallworth said. In all
age groups, especially young
children, females generally have
better grades, he said.
Women are also a large percentage
of another growing group —
those students 25 years and older
— because many are returning to
get an education after starting
families, Stallworth said. Enrollment
of older students has been
growing over the past five years,
he said.
Combining graduate and
undergraduate students, the
3,601 students age 25 and over at
Auburn represent 18.5 percent of
the 19,502 member student body.
This is up from 13 percent five
years ago.
Stallworth said the growth is
related to an increased need and
desire for people to change their
lives. "Some are getting second
degrees and master's degrees to
get ahead in their careers," he
said.
In the individual schools, one
of the greatest increases was the
7.6 percent increase at the School
of Business. The newly created
School of Human Sciences
showed an increase of 10.9 percent,
and the School of Pharmacy
had the highest percentage
increase of 13.5 percent.
There was a decline in the
School of Engineering of 2.2 percent
which Stallworth said is
because of tougher entrance
standards. There were also
declines in the schools of Agriculture,
down 4 percent, and Forestry
which declined the most at
35.1 percent.

Ticket Turmoil
;vThe athletic department
h»3-s offered a proposal
intended to address problems
of" overcrowding • in the stu-
: d^nt section during home
! games next fall.
; At first glance, the proposal
.' looks good: The athletic
; department is offering to
\ expand the student seating by
j up to 2,000 seats for guests of
| students.
[; _ However, to have a guest
" attend any single game, students
would have to buy an
eatire season book of guest
tickets — at a cost of $144 a
book. For every book of guest
tickets sold, the athletic
•department, would add one
4eat to the student section up
4v> the 2,000 limit.
In other words, to have a
friend at the game, it will cost
-you a mere $144.
' 'Of course, if you have a
"guest for all eight home
games, the book of season
-guest tickets might be worth
•the expense. But the proposal
dees not benefit the average
•student who doesn't have
$144 to dole out on tickets.
And the icing on the cake —
the student and his guest
would get to sit in the
end zone.
The Student Senate approved
this resolution last
Monday with the stipulation
that guest tickets be offered
for individual games instead
of season tickets. This is
common sense and would
make the proposal workable.
Unfortunately, what the
Student Senate wants — and
what the students want — will
have little if any bearing on
the athletic department's
decision.
SGA officers and officials
from the athletic department
will meet next Wednesday to
discuss the proposal and
changes requested by the
Senate. But SGA Vice President
Mark Murphy has
already conceded that the
Senate's suggested changes
will probably not be implemented
until fall 1989 at the
earliest.
Although The Plainsman is
encouraged by the athletic
department's willingness to
work on problems with student
seating, the proposed
solution does not offer an
answer to the problem.
]£evin, hush
Jjm Abernethy, the now-famous
born-again sports
agent, implicated Kevin Porter
in a sports agent scandal
last January because Porter
aCefcpted money from Aber-nelhy,
which is a violation of
the NQAA rules..
"The rules were broken, and
Porter was punished. He was
' suspended from the team, and
the; team had to play in the
Sugar Bowl without the help
pf.;one of its starting
cornerbacks.
7 But it seems that Porter
doesn't regret what he did. In
a recent interview with a south-eastern
newspaper, Porter
Pay up
.;T;here seems to be some
miscommunication going on
at Tuskegee University.
„S.tudents who had been
' allowed to slide in the payment
of their tuition suddenly
found themselves forced to
pay or not take exams the following
week.
Vl'The r u l e Was on the books —
it's just one of those things; a
student must pay tuition in
owjer to go to school.
' , However, Tuskegee's policy
b&fbre this incident was to let
the students by with a little to
owe.
said if he had it to do over, he
would.
What exactly would he do
over? Humiliate himself, the
team, the Auburn football
program, the University and
students?
It's always disheartening to
know that a supposed adult
hasn't learned from his punishment
not to break the rules
again.
That was something many
of us learned during our earliest
years of childhood.
Maybe Porter spoke off-the-cuff
and regrets the remark;
one would certainly hope so.
The University should have
informed the students at the
beginning of the semester
that they would need to pay
their tuition or they would be
kicked out of school.
Instead, the University
waits until almost the week
before exams and expects
every financially delinouent
student to pay up or go nome.
Certainly, the students
should pay, but the University
was remiss in suddenly
enforcing a law that could
mean expelling hundreds of
students.
Glad to hear activism still around
With all the current romanticism
of the '60s, it is becoming
commonplace for a non-activist
college student to feel guilty
about not participating in student
acitivism.
Even in the '60s where one had
"free" love, "free" drugs and
"free"dom, everyone pretty much
did their own thing. (Now, of
course, I wasn't there, but this
observation is based on my own
curiosity of that era.)
If one wanted to go and protest
U.S. involvement in Vietnam,
one could, and if one wanted to
just go to school and study, one
could. It was a do-your-own-thing
kind of time.
But now, with books, magazines,
newspapers and TV focusing
on what it was like 20 years
ago, a new idea has emerged
based loosely on the '60s theme: If
you're not an activist then you
must be apathetic.
According to my trusty American
Heritage Dictionary of the
English Language, the word apathetic
means "1. Feeling or showing
little or no emotion. 2. Uninterested;
listless."
It is also a blend of the words
"apathy," meaning "lack of emotion,"
and "pathetic," meaning
"Of, pertaining to, expressing, or
arousing pity, sympathy or
tenderness."
Apathy is a word that gets
overused around this area when a
group of activists protest something,
most of their friends
applaud, and the rest of the campus
is labeled as being apathetic.
The editors of Newsweek On
Campus found student activism
so important that they did a four-page
spread of campus acitivism
around the country, under the
headline, "Antidotes to Apathy:
Despite what you hear, student
acitivism has not vanished from
campus. Social protest lives, even
if it's sometimes polite."
I didn't realize apathy was so
rampant that it needed an
antidote.
Nevertheless, I certainly
appreciate this fine magazine for
letting everyone know that student
activism is not dead; however,
the article leaves the
impression that if one is in college
then one should be an activist;
it sort of comes with the
territory.
Otherwise, why do an extensive
study into the pockets of activism
that spring up from time to
time around the country?
I certainly don't reject activism.
If students feel strongly"
enough about some idea or cause
that they feel the urge to protest
loudly, then so be it.
But, by the same token, let others
who don't feel as strongly
alone.
I have never understood the
concept that a college student
must be a liberal acitivist or he
obviously is apathetic.
Is there some sort of prerequisite
to college that a high school
student must develop some sort of
strong feeling against or for some
idea or cause?
Speaking strictly from my own
point of view, I don't consider
myself an acitivist, yet I don't
consider myself apathetic either:
So what am I?
I will never feel guilty about not
participating in any type of activist
activity while attending the
University, but I will feel some
anger at being labeled apathetic
because of this lack of activity. •
Tying myself to a tree so it
won't be chopped down or getting
myself beaten and then arrested
for disturbing the peace during a
protest just isn't my idea of the
"college experience."
I was glad to see that of the 542
students interviewed for a
Newsweek On Campus poll, 79
percent did not wish they had
been in college during the '60s. I
get somewhat tired of people living
in the past; a past that has
been romanticized on a grand
scale.
Activism isn't dead. Good.
But those same activists and
their supporters shouldn't go
around yelling, "Apathy," at
every student who doesn't feel the
need to march.
There was no Ward to help Jane
Beaver had June, I had Jane.
June wore pearls and pumps to
fix dinner and straighten the
house — which never really
needed cleaning. She never lost
her temper, and was always puttering
around the kitchen when
the Beave came home from
school.
June didn't always have the
answer to Beaver's question or
the solutions to his problems, but
she always had milk in the
refrigerator and cookies in the
jar. And Ward could always take
up the slack.
Ward could be depended on for
his unfailing wisdom, towering
strength and regular paycheck.
Jane wore pumps to work and
faux pearls to church. When she
came home, she found two kids
glued to the television, books and
bags littering the floor and no
milk in the refrigerator.
With The Brady Bunch theme
blaring in her ears, she would
remind the half-conscious lumps
to pick up their things as she
picked her way to the kitchen to
see cereal dishes piled in the sink,
cookie wrappers on the counter
and a trash can that needed
emptying. Trudging upstairs, she
would change clothes, being
careful to hang up the jacket, put
away the shoes and replace the
jewelry.
Returning downstairs again,
her puttering involved washing
the bowls, wiping off the counter
and getting someone to empty the
trash. She usually lost her temper
after making the third request, or
when appeals to pick up the
books went ignored in favor of a
rerun of Father Knows Best.
Jane was a single working
mother with two girls and,
believe me, she could tell June
which of the two genders is the
more expensive. She listened to
pleas for dance lessons.Girl Scout
trips, band instruments, prom
dresses, add-a-bead necklaces,
sorority dueB> perms and the
droning cry for new clothes.
Everything they wanted she
wanted for them, so she learned
5P§w- ***~^^^*B
j ^ ^ ^ ^ H Features Editor
to juggle. She learned to balance
numerous bills for softball
equipment, dance costumes and
flag camp with enlarging food
bills, insurance and the house
payment.
The only thing she couldn't
juggle was time. So she missed a
lot of concerts, school plays and
contests.
This was hard for Jane to
accept because she had been
raised to be a June, not a Jane.
She learned that "cleanliness is
next to Godliness," baking is a
necessary art to a happy family
and Better Homes and Gardens is
a girl's best friend.
Then life threw her a curve and
forced her to put aside her copies
of Better Homes and face the fact
that she had some very ungodly
children.
In June's house there was
always a happy ending with all
the inhabitants smiling contentedly.
In Jane's house there were
fights and morethan one family
feud.
Jane's kids didn't always think
she was right. They didn't
always listen and they didn't
always like her. But they always
respected her.
They got mad when she
spanked them, thought she was
mean when she said no and
didn't understand why she yelled
at them, but they knew her word
was law.
Jane's kids didn't use drugs.
They didn't run away, and they
didn't end up in jail. They both
went to college, grew to be very
independent and dream of having
happy families...like the one
they grew up in.
Today, June is still taking care
of Beaver, living with he and his
kids on cable. Jane, however, is
remarried, has the Better Homes
and Gardens house of her
dreams and is wearing a new
strand of cultured pearls to
church.
She deserves them.
She couldn't tell her kids to
"wait tillyour father gets home,"
because Ward wasn't coming
home. She didn't have Ward's
wisdom to reinforce her decisions
and, more importantly, his bank
account to back up her mistakes.
She sold more than 100 boxes
of cookies, light bulbs, fruit cake,
grapefruit, calendars, candles,
stationery and magazines. She
made every holiday special and
every moment magic for her kids.
She listened to the complaints
along with the gossip and shouldered
every childhood heartache
alone.
All parents have to be good
guys and bad guys while their
children are growing up and they
suffer our grudges and tantrums
because of it. But then one day we
do grow up, and we understand
that there never was a good guy
or a bad guy — there was just a
parent. Then they can put away
the switches and stop watching
the clock.
The sad part is that when they
put away the switches they may
put away the Band-Aids, and
when we leave the nest we often
fly alone.
Happy Mother's Day Mom

Greek Week causes rapid loss of IQ
Well, the umpteenth annual
Greek Week has come and gone.
Big deal.
Call me a boring homebody,
but I don't understand why 20 or
so percent of the Auburn student
body makes such a fuss over this
week of organized stupidity.
Let's face it: Hamburger eating
contests and drinking beer while
riding tricycles aren't the most
intelligent activities. Not to mention
the incessant screaming of
sorority girls "cheering" for their
chosen organization — cheering
that makes dogs cringe.
, What makes it worse is that it's
all sponsored by local businesses.
It's enough to make your stomach
turn.
And what do the winning
organizations get out of all this?
The honor and recognition of
being the best. I don't know about
that. The best at doing stupid
stuff? What's the point?
Hmagine Mom and Dad will be
really pleased to know that their
money is being spent so that you
can swill beer all week while
Richard
Kirby

A & E Editor
cheering on your "brothers" or
"sisters" in whatever stupid
event they're competing in.
And, of course, there's the
coveted title of Miss Greek Week.
It's not like Auburn needed
another beauty pageant, but this
one takes the cake.
I can just hear Buffy saying,
"Yes, I'm proud to represent my
brother and sister Greeks in this
week of moronic activities and
their continuing efforts to look
dumb."
Not to mention the fact that
two people were injured in Greek
Week events last week. But that's ,
OK — they were just having
"fun" and they had a couple of
freak accidents. Sorry, but I
wouldn't call having my arm
broken during an arm wrestling
match "fun."
I don't have a vendetta against
Greeks. I really don't. In fact, I
have some good friends that are
Greeks.
That is, when they're alone.
Unfortunately, it seems that
when they all get together, there
is this collective drop in IQ that
leads to things like Greek Week.
They can be perfectly normal
people until they get around their
Greek "siblings" and then, oh
boy, the fun starts. If you're not
Greek then, you might as well not
be alive.
I know that it's all supposedly
harmless enough, but if you look
at things at more than face value,
you might change your mind. If
fraternities made pledges do the
things that people do willingly
during Greek Week, they would
probably get busted by the IFC or
some other fraternal governing
organization.
But that, unfortunately, is not
the case. The IFC, Order of |
Omega and Panhellenic all sponsor
the events and call it "fun."
You hear so much these days
about fraternities espousing j
higher virtues, especially "brotherhood"
and "sisterhood." Also,
anyone who goes through rush J
hears words like "honor," j
"virtue" and "chivalry" being |
tossed around.
These groups are supposed to I
prepare people for the future, not
simply . party all the time, [
although it might seem that way j
sometimea The Greek idea is a
good one, but communism was |
supposedly a good idea, too.
It is sad that there are events 1
like Greek Week that voluntarily I
put a glaring spotlight on all that I
is seemingly wrong with the[
Greek system.
But what I'd really like to know I
is why these people need a special I
week to act dumb. Independents!
do dumb things all the time — but |
they don't publicize them.

Clean up fraternity system
Editor, The Plainsman:
•' I read with interest in the
Opelika-Auburn News on Sunday,
May 1 — but.not without
some sense of expectation — the
account of the University Pi
Kappa Alpha member allegedly
involved in the rape of a FSU
coed.
As reported, the rape and bru-talization
of the coed, who had a
,35 blood alcohol level, took place
on March 5 at the FSU Pi Kappa
Alpha Fraternity.
• There is a continuance of
reports of fraternity-related
activity equaling Neanderthal
behavior.
One would hope the national Pi
Kappa Alpha office has or will
disband the FSU chapter on a
permanent basis.
One would also assume that
the Auburn IFC and the new
SGA administration haveap-; <;(!>
taken action against the leadership
of t he local Pi Kappa Alpha.
The leadership is always
responsible for the actions of
those he/she is leading — it
comes with the territory.
The next time the incident
could be on the Auburn campus.
Unfortunately, this is one case
where the axiom "...one bad
apple..." so directly applies in the
public relations department.
Clean it up or disband —
neither the fraternity organizations,
Auburn University, or the
State of Alabama need this type
of embarrassment.
I doubt anything will be done to
prevent another incident.
After all, the raping of an
unconscious coed is apparently
considered one of the the prer
e q u i s i t e s to the making of
manhood.
Dr. H. David Arnold
D e p a r t m e n t of F i n a n ce Police make campus safe
Editor, The Plainsman:
Two weeks ago in The Plainsman,
the AUPD was mentioned
twice in.incidents of apparent
harassment!
' Surely, the University Police
are not fascist bullies; they're just
bored.
They could sit around the stat
i o n eating doughnuts, but
instead they're trying to keep
: themselves busy by patrolling
campus and doing their duty.
By stopping the slightest suspicious
person and writing multitudes
of parking tickets, the
police are j u s t trying to give their
dull routines a purpose.
All these cops relieving their
boredom have made the campus
a safe place.
I know I've never heard of any
murders or major thefts occurring
on campus.
I imagine that at times it's
quite a challenge for the campus
police to continue thinking of
new offenses deserving warnings,
and I admire them for being
able to do so.
Rather than fearing or comp
l a i n i n g about the AUPD's
actions, I think we should congratulate
these brave, creative
men for going out of their way to
conquer their boredom.

Make mental health full time
Editor, The Plainsman:
As an alumnus of the University,
I am greatly disturbed over
the controversy surrounding the
student mental health service.
• R a r e l y in life is there a more
trying time for a young adult.
There is the ever-present worry
oyer grades, jobs and social activities.
Where does the money come
from? Will I succeed? Who am I?
Who will I be?,
'•:• These are only some of the reasons
these years can be worrisome
and confusing. While many
people can handle the pressure
with little to no problem, some
need help. The student mental
health center provided that help.
Cutting off this service completely
didn't work, so now it has
been reinstated — as a referral
service. A maximum of three to
five visits then no more. This,
quite frankly, is ridiculous.
If the Drake Student Health
Center, which serves to heal the
body were cut or limited, the furor
would be tremendous.
This is no less serious. I urge
Pat Barnes to reinstate the service
to full capacity. This the
"sane" thing to do.

Correction needed for article
Editor, The Plainsman:
As members of Auburn's delegation
visiting the Far East, led
by Dr. James Martin, we were
delighted to read the Thursday,
April 28, article written by Kim-berly
Bradley, under the headline
"Martin's Far East travels culturally
rewarding" which appeared
on the front page.
However, some facts reported
in the article were misquoted
and/or misrepresented.
The itinerary of our Far East
visit was as follows:
We flew from Atlanta to Hong
Kong and then to Shanghai,
China, on March 19-21. From
Shanghai to Nanjing, we took a
four-hour train ride. At Nanjing,
Martin signed the Cooperative
Agreement with Nanjing Forestry
University.
Then we took a 22-hour train
ride from Nanjing to Xian and
later flew to Beijing and then to
Wuhan. (Dr. Emmett) Thompson
and his family did not visit
Wuhan, but they flew from Beijing
to Hong Kong, then to
Taiwan.
From Wuhan, Hubei Province,
to Changsha, Hunan Province,
we had a six-hour train ride.
At Changsha, we visited the
1,000-year-old university, the
Hunan University, which is
known as the oldest academic
institute in the world.
On April 1, we were schduled to
fly from Changsha to Qu'ahg:
zhou, but the flight ws cancelled
because of bad weather. So we
took an 18-hour train ride to
Quangzhou which is located in
the Canton Province of China.
When the train arrived in
Quangzhou, the incident as
reported by Miss Bradley, "All of
a sudden, the army surrounded
the train..." occurred. Certainly it
was not happening in Taiwan
because Quangzhou is approximately
500 miles away from Taiwan,
and there was, and still is,
no railroad connection between
these places because they are
separated by the Taiwan Straits.
Finally, we took a flight from
Quangzhou to Hong Kong,« t\\g
pearl of the East, and, fortunately,
made flight connections
to Taipei to continue on our official
visiting program in the Far
East. We returned to Auburn on
April 17.

Interaction is key at AS CCA;
E d i t o r ' s Note: The following
letter deals with Shannon Jones'
column in the April 14 issue of
The Plainsman.
Editor, The Plainsman:
Shannon Jones came to Camp
ASCCA for an internship interview
last quarter. A part of the
interview required that she experience
the role of counselor for a
weekend.
Shannon accepted what she
calls, "...one of the greatest challenges
of my life."
I'm responsible for her "challenge."
Shannon thought she
might want to be the intern writer
for 1988.1 always make sure my
prospective writers and photographers
spend their weekend
with the camper who requires the
most attention.
If hired, they will be advocates
for the disabled and have to
u n d e r s t a n d the most severe
disabilities.
Shannon's camper represented
only about 1 percent of the
campers we serve. The vast
majority of our campers have
disabilities which require only
partial attendant care.
Shannon had the most responsibilities...
and another counselor
to help her out. Both students did
a fine job.
During her weekend, Shannon
had to come face to face with her
own opinons of the disabled.
She says, "I can empathize
with both the children and adults
who have disabilites."
E m p a t h y means imagining
how you would want to be treated
if your were...profoundly retarded,
for instance.
Shannon's camper reminded
her of that need to be empathetic
all weekend long.
At Camp ASCCA, we believe
that a limited imagination or a
closed attitude can be the most
severe diability of all. Shannon's
imagination got a workout for
two days last quarter.
S h a n n o n says it "bothers
(her)" to think about children
with physical disabilities. She
said she thinks they "(live) in a
dream world."
They don't. They're as realistic
about life as you and I.
It bothers me to think about
people with limited imaginations.
I mean those people that
say, "It takes a special kind of
person to work at Camp ASCCA.
I couldn't do it."
T h a t a t t i t u d e l i m i t s our
campers (and all disabled people)
to a token few people who supposedly
have the patience, gentle
touch or big heart it takes to work
at Camp ASCCA.
I think we are all special people.
We are all capable of
empathy, and I don't think worki
n g at Camp ASCCA is a
challenge.
We play at Camp ASCCA. We
recreate at Camp ASCCA. It's
therapeutic recreation.
To say you "couldn't do it"
means you can't interact with
another person. That's all a disabled
person is — a person.
If you can't recreate with
someone who has a disability,
please don't try and convince
anyone that you'll be willing'to
hire them...or work with them.' j
The interaction is the "Jce"y.
Shannon Jones experienced "it.
She took the initiative t6< get
involved and learn.
Shannon is just one of thousands
of students (hundreds, of
them from Auburn) who have
broadened their imaginations at
Camp ASCCA. - £<*

Learn more off
Chinese culture Editor, The Plainsman:
The news article in The
Plainsman entitled, "Martin's
Far East travels culturally
rewarding" was a big shock to all
the Chinese nationals in the
Auburn area.
The article implies that you can
get to Taiwan from mainland
China by train. To our knowledge
there isn't a train track that
expands the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan, also known as Formosa,
is an island located
between Japan and the Philippines
approximately 270 miles
off the southeast coast of mainland
China.
Taiwan is about one-quarter
the area of Alabama, but the
population of Taiwan is more
than 19 million, about five times
that of Alabama. -:••"
In the wake of the Communist
invasion in 1949, the Republic.of
China moved its governmental
seat to Taiwan.
Once there they continued their
struggle against the Communist
tyranny and supported a united
democratic China. :>' '
Here at Auburn there, are
a p p r o x i m a t e l y 300 people,
including 160 graduate students,
from Taiwan. Not only do the
students learn about high technology,
but we also want to share
our culture and spirit with,the
people of Auburn. . *

Feather causes ticklish subject
Former vet student fined $ 125
' By Tracey McCartney
Staff Writer
A former Auburn student was
fined $125 last Thursday for ille-
.' gal possession of an eagle
feather.
Randy Grumpier of Ellersly,
' Ga., was convicted of possessing
a feather he had apparently
obtained while working with
Auburn's raptor rehabilitation
program in the late 1970s.
The 29-year-old Crumpler, who
last attended Auburn in 1984,
claimed he was in rightful possession
of the feather because it
was being used for imping, a process
by which a bird's broken
feather is replaced by a feather it
has already lost. The replacement
is done by joining the fallen
feather to what is left of the
broken feather.
However, the feather had been
attached'to a leather thong and
was clearly being used by
Crumpler for ornamental purposes,
according to Special Agent
Garry Phillips of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
Possession of an eagle feather
violates the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act, which makes possession
of an endangered bird or any
part of it without a permit from
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
illegal. Typically, a permit will
only be issued for religious or
educational purposes.
Move, continued from A-l
Williams said.
Grant Davis, associate dean of
students, was the first to make a
proposal with recommendations
concerning the space problem to
the (Foy) Union Board. These
recommendations were aimed at
housing all of the student publications
in the same building.
Williams has made several
attempts to gain this additional
office space in the three years
that he's been adviser.
Bret Pippen, Plainsman editor,
said he is happy about the expansion.
"I'm glad that they finally
got around to doing something
that they said they'd do for
years," Pippen said.
Glomerata Editor Loren Collins
said the Glom staff is glad to
be getting the Alpha Phi Omega
office because it is larger. "I
heard it through the grapevine
that they're not happy about
moving," Collins said.
The world may end
Tomorrow.

The feather was discovered
accidentally by Alabama game
warden Robert Seidler, who was
searching Crumpler's room in a
friend's trailer, Phillips said.
Seidler's search was in connection
with a falconing violation
for which Crumpler has since
been convicted.
Crumpler's attorney had
objected to the possession charge,
saying that Seidler's search was
illegal. His objection was overruled
by the judge because Seidler
had been given permission to
conduct the search by Tony Bodi-ford,
the owner of the trailer in
Webster's Crossing in Auburn.
Under the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act, the maximum fine for
possession of an eagle or any part
of an eagle without government
permission is $500 and/or six
months in jail.
Case
continued from A-l
makes a decision on whether to
r e i n s t a t e Clemons or keep
Pointer.
The case was originally filed by
the Justice Department against
the Alabama public universities
in 1983 after the U.S. Department
of Education reviewed policies of
Alabama educational institutions
and found them violating
federal law by failing to eliminate
vestiges of segregation.

Blue blanks White 13-0
By Selena Roberts
Sports Editor
Reggie Slack learned the hard
way during last Saturday's A-Day
game that quarterbacks
aren't made to go through linebackers.
In the first quarter, Slack tipt
o e d the s i d e l i n e s as he
scrambled from a herd of the
White team's defenders. He edged
the chalk, and then a thunderous
pop was heard in t he upper deck
of Jordan-Hare as Slack was
leveled by Eltin Billingslea.
Slack wasn't injured; only a
few cobwebs.
"He gave me a pretty good lick,
probably the hardest I've ever
had, and I was dizzy for a few
minutes. I wasn't sure where I
was," Slack said.
Billingslea had no problem
with his geography.
"I was just hustling to the ball.
I didn't expect to hit him that
hard," he said.
In the third quarter, Slack
sucked up what wind he had left
and went back on the field to lead
the Blue team! Only on his next
scramble, Slack ducked out of
bounds five yards before any
defender had the chance to repeat
the performance.
The crowd of 10,000 at Jordan-
Hare let out a brief cheer for
Slack's decision.
For certain, the 13-0 win by the
Blue team was a case of learning
what was already known.
Auburn knows that there is no
sure substitute for Slack.
"Our young quarterbacks are a
long way away from being able to
play...You have to have a backup
quarterback. A couple of years,
ago Robert Smith was a backup
quarterback and by fall he was a
snapper."
Behind Slack, who threw six
for nine, was backup quarterback
Frank Mcintosh. Mcintosh only
threw for two passes, but connected
on both.
Quarterback performances on
the White team by Matt Vogler
and Scott Gurosky were shaky a t
times.
Gurosky completed six of 13
passes with one interception
while Vogler managed to connect
on five of 12, also with one
interception.
The averages of the quarterbacks
were not helped by numerous
dropped passes from backs
and wide receivers.
Instead, sure hands came on
the opposite side of the snap. In
the first quarter, the Blue team's
s a f e t y F r a n k i e S t a n k u n as
stepped in front of a Vogler pass
down the middle. He then zipped
and dodged 34 yards for a
touchdown.
That was the only touchdown
of the day.
From there, Chris Johnson
added a field goal in the second
and fourth quarters.
It wasn't pretty. There were
miscues, weaknesses in t he
offensive line, penalties and trick
plays that backfired, but then
again it is spring, not fall.
"Basically we're about t he
same as we've been all spring,"

Tigers earn
spot in SEC
tournament
By Lori Dann
Assistant Sports Editor
At the beginning of the season,
making the six-team SEC Tournament
field wasn't even a
thought for baseball coach Hal
Baird.
The Tigers were rolling along,
malting a name for themselves as
they joined the top teams in the
country in the national polls.
But a late season slump caused
Baird and his players to face the
possibility of a short season.
Auburn entered last Sunday's
game with Tennessee riding a
five-game losing streak, including
a doubleheader loss to the
Vols the day before.
But the Tigers broke out of their
slump in grand fashion, pummel-ing
the Volunteers 17-3 a t
Plainsman Park to clinch at least
a sixth-place finish and a spot in
the conference tournament. If
Auburn had lost that game it
would have meant having to beat
LSU on the road.
"Early in the season we had
higher goals than making the
conference field," Baird said.
"But as it turned out, I'm really
relieved to just be going. I would
have hated to go into LSU needing
a win to make it."
Starting pitcher Stacy Jones, 6-
6, had a no-hitter through five
and two-third innings and
wrapped up his fourth complete
game of the season. Jones, who
got his first win since March,
gave up five hits and two walks
and registered eight strikeouts to
take the win.
The Tiger offense was also
impressive, racking up 19 hits off
five Tennessee hurlers.
The game's outcome was never
in question as Auburn pushed
seven runs across the plate in the
first two innings. Five runs in the
seventh and e i g h t h innings
closed out the scoring' for the
Tigers.
The offensive star for the Tigers
was first basemen Frank
Thomas who blasted his eighth
home run of the season to give
him five RBI and four runs scored
for the game.
"I thought our kids played
exceptionally well," Baird said.
"They broke out of their hitting
slump and gave Tennessee a
sound thumping."
The Tigers, now 34-13 overall
and occupying fifth place in the
conference with a 13-10 mark,
will head to Bayou country this
weekend to take on the third-place
LSU Tigers.

Curran congratulated by teammates
Seniors key
Hitchcock
tourney win
By Randy Williams
Assistant Copy Editor
When they needed to play the
best they could, the men's golf
team came on strong.
The team has been struggling
all year, but this past weekend it
won the Billy Hitchcock Intercollegiate
Golf Tournament, the
first major intercollegiate tournament
to come to Auburn.
"As a coach I felt great," Coach
Mike Griffin said. "When we
most needed leadership, our
seniors pulled us through."
Auburn shot a 3-under-par
861 to win the three-day tournament.
The University of Georgia,
ranked eighth in the nation, fin-inished
two strokes behind at 1-
under-par 863. The University of
Florida finished in third place at
865, and Florida State University
finished in fourth place at 866.
Jim Curran was the Tigers' top
finisher and winner of the tournament.
He shot a three-day total
13-under-par 203. This was good
enough to put Curran, a senior
playing in his last regular season
match, in the Auburn record-books.
He edged out former.
Auburn All-American Ricky
Smallridge, who shot a 204 while
at Auburn.
The next closest finisher was
Steve Metz of Memphis State. He
was six strokes back at 209.

Ticket deadline extended
By Lori Dann
Assistant Sports Editor
The deadline for pre-ordering
season football tickets has been
extended to Friday at 4:30 p.m.,
according to ticket manager
Marty McGinty.
McGinty said the ticket windows
at Memorial Coliseum will
be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
today and tomorrow for students
who have not yet purchased their
tickets.
"So far, we're a little bit below
out past totals," he said. "I think
part of the reason for that is the
changes we made and the lack of
advertising about them."
This year is the first time student
order forms will be a t the
Coliseum rather than at the various
schools on campus.
"I think in the long run that's
better than leaving them at the
schools," McGinty said, "because
there's been some confusion in
the past when they were at the
schools. At least everyone will
know their order forms are here."
Pre-ordering tickets definitely
has its advantages: "It will save
the students time in the fall," he
said. "The line to pick up is a lot
shorter than the line to buy."
Auburn will be playing eight
games at home this season,
beginning with Kentucky in the
season opener Sept. 10. Other
home games are against Kansas,
Tennessee, North Carolina,
Akron, Mississippi State, Southern
Mississippi and Georgia.

Boling teaching lessons on, off tennis court
'He is one of the
most motivational
coaches
I've ever had.'
—Sandi Irwin
New coach
puts in
overtime
By Sarah Watson
Staff Writer -
Tennis isn't the only lesson
Ross Boling teaches on his court.
Along with teaching the moves
and shots of his favorite game,
the women's head tennis coach
said he believes in teaching lifetime
values.
"A coach is as much an academic
teacher as one that teaches
science or liberal arts," Boling
said. "But we teach discipline,
unselfishness and self-control."
Boling, 34, must know a lot
about his job — he's been coaching
for almost half his life.
As a boy, Boling had always
been interested in baseball. It
was all he played until he picked
up a tennis racket at age 14. He
caught on to tennis well and
without any formal lessons,
earned a full-tennis scholarship
to Murray State University in
Kentucky only four years later.
Boling taught tennis at several
camps during and after his collegiate
playing days. Even though
he had thought about pursuing a
career in law, he knew he wanted
to stay with tennis, he said.
Boling had a lot of experience
with coaching before coming to
Auburn. Soon after he graduated,
he worked at the Midtown Tennis
Club in Chicago, where he was
the director of junior tennis. Mid-town
is one of the best indoor
facilities in the country, according
to Boling. Many of the juniors'
he taught were nationally
ranked.
After Chicago, Boling taught
juniors and adults at Bent Tree
Country Club in Dallas, focusing
on higher-level players, and
coached in the Dallas Junior
Excellence Program.
Not only did Boling continue to
teach tennis after college, but he
also continued to compete.
In 1978, Boling started playing
on the Satellite Circuit. The Circuit,
Boling explained, is like the
minor leagues in baseball, but for
tennis.
"It's pro tennis, but a couple
notches below the ones you see on
TV," he said.
After two years, however, Boling
realized the Circuit wasn't for
him. Even though he won some
prize money, he couldn't afford to
keep traveling because he wasn't
being sponsored and wasn't consistently
good enough to compete
with the pros. But he did gain
some valuable experience.
"I look at it as a graduate
degree in competitive tennis," he
said.
While instructing, he still
played in several matches. He
won the 1985 Dallas Open while
he was working there. I*
Boling has also practiced-his
talents off the courts. While combining
his coaching and compe>

Staff Writer
Auburn defensive back John
Wiley describes Anthony Freeman
as "eccentric, outspoken and
dependable." But most people
just refer to him as "Boss Hogg."
Freeman is a manager for the
football team, but he does a lot
more than fix equipment, keep
time and spot balls.
for three years and he's kept me
laughing the whole time," manager
Mel Sellers said.
Freeman said he acquired the
nickname "Boss Hogg" in the
ninth grade. "I was the basketball
manager in high school and
we were coming home from a
game we had won.
"Nate Hill and Vince Sutton
(Alabama quarterback) just
started calling me 'Boss,' and it's
'We couldn't have a team without
him.'
—Benji Roland
"He runs things around here;
that's why we call him 'Boss,'"
Wiley said. "If we have a problem,
we go to Boss. He supervises
everything."
Freeman said, "People can
come to me and I'll do my best to
provide for them. We're all one
big family, and we depend on
each other."
Even though he is shorter than
most of the players, the team
looks up to him.
According to several of the
players, Freeman's good nature
and witty charm earn him
respect on the field.
"I've been working with Boss
stuck with me since then."
He has been greatly influenced
by Bo Jackson and Pat Dye. "Bo
was just like a brother to me, and
Coach Dye is like a father," he
said.
But Nate Hill is the reason
Freeman is at Auburn.
According to student coach
Brendt Bedsole, Hill would not
sign with Auburn unless Freeman
was put on scholarship as a
manager.
"I've been given such an opportunity
to come to school at
Auburn," Freeman said. "I will be
the first person in my family to
receive a college degree,and I will
stay here until I make it.
"I want to make my family
proud."
Freeman said he hopes to one
day become a manager in the
National Football League. But he
said he won't be devastated if
that doesn't happen.
"If I don't get a job in the NFL, I
want to build a place for kids to go
where they can stay out of trouble,"
he said.
Freeman said he has a philosophy
which he lives by. And
some day he would like share it
with children.
"Set your goals, strive for them
and don't stop until you achieve
them," he said.
"But don't set your goals too
high because you may fall and
not be able to get back up," he
added, "It's important to live one
day at a time."
He hates to see children getting
into trouble; "There's so much
money in the world. I don't see
why people won't use it to help
kids stay off the streets."
Being a manager may not seem
like quite the same thing as being
on the team to the average person,
but Freeman said he prefers
his job over anything else.
"I love the travel and being
around the team," he said, "It
was great being a part of the 1987
SEC Championship team."
Freeman said his greatest
memory is when Auburn beat
Alabama 21-17 in 1986.
"I really enjoyed that moment,"
he said, "I was out on the
field dancing after the game."
Even though Freeman prefers

Sports Editor
George Kickliter is an attorney
at law and has been in practice
for 38 years. Kickliter currently
works as a sports agent from his
offices in Auburn and is known
as the Auburn connection to pro
football.
Kickliter represents such athletes
as Brent Fullwood, William
Andrews, Lionel James, James
Brooks and Edmund Nelson. He
discusses his work as a sports
agent and the controversies and
problems surrounding his profession.
Q: What is the biggest misconception
the public has
about the sports agent
business?
A: The biggest misconception
is that there is an NCAA rule
against talking to players while
they are eligible. The fact is, there
are no restrictions on that whatsoever.
Many people think that
you can't talk to an athlete until
he has finished his eligibility,
and that is not so. I have done it
as a matter of course. Remember,
the teams' coaching staffs like
that misconception out there.
Q: What are your responsibilities
to your client? What is
your job?
A: The first thing a sports
agent does is negotiate a contract.
Some would say that is the
most important thing, but that's
debatable. I personally don't
think that is the most important
part. There are at least 20 agents
or so in the country who will
negotiate the same contract.
Those 20 agents who are experienced
and have a good background,
provide the service of
guiding them (the athletes) in a
financial sense. That's probably
just as important, at least, as
negotiating the contract.
Q: Do you feel, as a whole,
sports agents are reputable?
A: I would not say most are
reputable. However, keep in mind
most sports agents in the business
aren't used — they don't
even have a client. There are over
1,000 agents in football alone.
About 60 of those agents represent
75 percent of the athletes.
Now, out of that 60, most are reasonably
reputable. Because you
could argue that reputable meant
always being honest in any
recommentdation you make. And
that may be impossible in this
business.
Q: Is it the competition
between agents that results
in the dishonesty and illegal
maneuvers ?
A: Yes, that is the biggest factor.
You have agents who will do
literally anything to get a client.
Even if it doesn't involve a violation
of the NCAA rules, the competition
between agents will
involve extremely low fees. An
agent will do this just to get
themselves in the door. You've
also got the problem of a player's
family member, a brother or'
nephew, trying to become part of

Tennis a
family affair
for Ferreira
By J o n Collins
Staff Writer
• Tennis is a family affair for
- Lionel Ferreira of the men's tennis
team. And he is the Tiger of
the family.
When Auburn hosted Alabama
• l a s t S a t u r d a y , two more
members of the Ferreira family
" were present on the courts. Clinton,
the eldest brother, is an All-
American at Alabama, where he
plays the No. 1 singles position.
He is joined by his brother, Ellis,
who performs at No. 5 for the
Tide.
•' Does any type of rivalry exist
between the brother netters?
""Yes," Ferreira said, who has
played the majority of his singles
. matches at No. 3 this season. "It
; does get touchy sometimes, as
•you can imagine. But it's nothing
serious."
However, the 5-foot-10 sophomore
is serious when it comes to
his own game. He has made
noticeable strides in his second
year on the Plains.
"He has become more all-court
than he used to be," Coach Hugh
Thomson said. "He is still basically
a base line player, but now
he can come in and volley. He
does it more in matches than he
used to."
Ferreira won only eight singles
matches as a freshman at No. 6.
Thomson was looking for an
improved performance from the
Durban, South Africa,native this
season, following the netter's
introduction to collegiate tennis.
His performance did improve.
Ferreira currently stands at 15-11
in singles play, which already
assures him of a winning season.
He has seen action in three dif-
! ferent spots for the Tigers, posting
records of 6-4 at No. 2, 7-7 at
, No. 3 and 2-0 at No. 4.
"He ha& improved his serve,"
Thomson said. "He has improved
his mental discipline on the court
more than anything else. This
year he's stayed and come from
behind to win matches. He has
been winning a lot of matches
that he would have lost easily
last year. Lionel has made the
mental adjustment to playing
higher and has played better."
