University Police searched
for several hours on Monday
for a private airplane which
reportedly went down near
Alabama Highway 267. A local
woman reported she saw a
plane go down and explode at
approximately 5:15 a.m.
The University, which sent
10 people and a plane to search
for a downed aircraft, con­cluded
that there had not been
a plane crash near the
University.
The Auburn Airport reported
that no airplanes were sche­duled
to land or be in the air
over Lee County Monday
night.

State health officials are
attempting to round up 500,000
chickens which were injured in
the ice storm and now must be

Disease-producing orga­nisms
present in the chickens
killed in the storm can contam­inate
groundwater and spread
diseases to humans unless dis­posed
of quickly.
The ice storm destroyed more
than 100 chicken houses kil­ling
more than a million birds.
The Alabama Poultry and Egg

Brandt announces retirement
VP to leave in April,
Burger issue not cited
By Stephanie Warnecke
News Editor
Dr. Warren Brandt, vice presi­dent
for academic affairs,
announced his retirement Mon­day.
His 39 years at the Univer­sity
will end on Aug. 1, when he
turns 65.
Brandt said the decision has
nothing to do with the recent con­troversy
over the Jeff Burger pla­giarism
case. "I am very comfort­able
with the Burger decision."
Brandt overturned the aca­demic
honesty committee, under
Dr. Donald Jeane's ruling to
suspend the quarterback after
the committee found him guilty
of plagiarism.
Dr. Jo Heath took over as
chairman of the committee when
Jeane's term was up. Heath sub­mitted
a proposal requesting the
removal of the vice president of
academic affairs from the aca­demic
honesty process and the
replacement with the president.
The proposal passed the Univer­sity
Senate and will go before the
Student Senate and President
James E. Martin.
"I don't see any point in con­tinuing
the proposal," Heath
said. She said the honesty com­mittee
"will have a fresh slate"
after Brandt's retirement. "We
won't have the Jeff Burger thing
hanging over our heads."
Brandt said he plans to travel
after retiring. "We intend to enjoy
going to see animals," he said. He
also wants to visit his children
and some former students.
He said he doesn't think his
retirement will affect the search
for a permanent Liberal Arts
dean. In fact, three candidates for
the job will visit the campus this
month.
"Under Brandt's leadership,
the University's academic pro­gram
has been expanded and
strengthened," Martin said.
"He brought an exceptionally
rich background to Auburn and
has been a strong leader for our
faculty," he said. Warren Brandt

Ice storm sweeps over city,
leaves residents powerless

Winter leaves icing on campus
By David Sharp
and Janet Jimmerson
Staff Writers
It was a day of icy winds, freez­ing
rain and cancelled classes.
With darkness it became a night
of frozen power lines, huddled
friends, falling tree limbs and
pizza by candlelight.
The temperature dipped below
freezing about 6 a.m. last Thurs­day,
and a 20 degree wind chill
factor greeted students as they
trudged to class. By mid-morning
freezing rain had coated tree
limbs and power lines with ice.
At 12:30 p.m., the lights began
flickering in Haley Center. Min­utes
later, the University's 44,000
volt power main failed, plunging
the campus into darkness.
Between noon and 3 p.m., Ala­bama
Power officials estimate
that 13,000 subscribers were
without electricity. Emergency
crews went to work as dis­patchers
were kept busy fielding
more than 1,000 calls.
Power for much of the city was
returned by Friday morning, but
there were still 10 homes without
power on Sunday morning, said
Alabama Power District Man­ager
Walt Davis. Electricity was
completely restored that after­noon,
he said.
Auburn faired better than
Opelika, however, where approx­imately
90 percent of the city was
without power, said Opelika
spokesman Oline Price. Power
was not fully restored until Tues­day
afternoon,- she 'said.
With classes cancelled, stu­dents
returned home to cope with
the outage as best they could.
After their secretaries went
home, President James Martin
and Executive Vice Presidnet
George Emert were left to man
the phones. They received
between 75 and 100 calls, Emert
said. Because of a problem with
the phones, "we were just push­ing
buttons and hoping someone
was on the line," he said.
SGA President Harold Melton
said he chopped wood and, after a
power line fell in front of his
apartment, he and friends
directed traffic until police
arrived.
Kathy Maley, 04 PRS, returned
from class to find a tree limb had
fallen through the sliding glass
doors and into her living room
causing $450 damage to her
trailer, she said.
Auburn police do not have an
official damage estimate yet
because reports are still being
filed, a spokesman said.
As darkness began to fall, stu­dents
without power began to
search for candles, warmth and a
little home entertainment.
Members of Alpha Gammo
Rho fraternity said they huddled
by the fire1, put on four or five lay­ers
of clothes and drank to stay
warm.
Dunn Hall residents were busy
transferring food from the freezer
to the ice machine to keep it from
spoiling, said the dorm's desk
clerk Kimberlynn Pate, 03 PRJ.
Other residents, she said,
played Pictionary by candle light
and went to Terrell Cafeteria
where free sandwiches were
being served.
Those dining in Sewell Hall
were served with paper plates by
candlelight, Resident Counselor
Rusty Deen said.
After a day of chopping wood
and directing traffic, Melton and
friends went to Denny's in Ope-

City council passes Martin Luther King resolution
By David Sharp
Assistant News Editor
Auburn city employees will not
join federal and state workers in
getting the day off for Martin
Luther King Jr.'s birthday
tomorrow, but the City Council is
not letting the holiday pass
unnoticed.
At its Jan. 5 meeting, the
Council established a $2,000
scholarship and a collection of
books and visual aids about
King's life for school and city
libraries. A city park to be con-stucted
this year will also be
named in King's honor.
"I'm very proud of the resolu­tion,"
said Councilman Samuel
Harris, who presented the resolu­tion.
"In my mind, Dr. King
would be proud. I think this city
has come a long way toward
doing something for his birth­day."
The scholarship will be
awarded each year to a black
Auburn High School senior on
the basis of leadership, academ­ics
and character, City Manager
Doug Watson said.
The eight-acre park will be
located on Byrd Street which
meets with the end of West Mag­nolia
Avenue. It will be formally
dedicated on Jan. 15, 1989, Wat­son
said.
The Council's resolution was
favored by "everybody on the
Council and the majority of the
community," Watson said, but
not everyone is satisfied.
Lindburgh Jackson, chairman
of the Lee County chapter of the
Alabama Democratic Caucus
(ADC), said he is "very dis­pleased"
with the Council's
action.
"The Council did not act in a
responsible way to the people it
serves," Jackson said. "Dr. King
was not about scholarships. He
was a man who wanted to see jus­tice
and freedom for all mankind
— not just blacks."
Jackson, a former city coun­cilman
from 1976-80, submitted
an ADC resolution for the King
holiday, along with a petition
signed by 834 Auburn residents,
at the Dec. 22 Council meeting, he
said.
The resolution called for the
Council to "go on the record"
designating the third Monday of
January each year to commemo-

Blood drive to relieve
weather-related shortage
By Stephanie Warnecke
News Editor
Alabama is in an emergency
crisis right now, but Auburn
students can remedy the
situation.
Because of the severe weather
that hit most of Alabama last
week, an emergency appeal was
issued for blood donors. The
weather completely halted
blood collections in two-thirds
of the state for several days last
week.
The Student Government
Association's annual blood
drive will be January 18-21
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Haley
Center. The theme is "Share a
Pint of Your Auburn Spirit."
January is normally a bad
month for blood collections,
said Sandra Burney, Red Cross
donor resource specialist. Peo­ple
don't donate as much, there
are more accidents and more
people schedule elective surgery
after the holidays, she said.
Claire Owen, 03 ECE, is this
year's chairman. "We don't
know what to expect," Owen
said, about how many pints will
be collected.
Auburn still holds the record
for the largest two-day blood
drive — 4,812 pints in 1967.

Vet school receives $ 1 million
By Laura C. Barnwell
Assistant News Editor
The College of Veterinary Med­icine
will construct a $1 million
facility for an advanced diag­nostic
imaging center with a
pledge from Holland Ware, of
Hogansville, Ga., and matching
funds authorized by the Board of
Trustees.
"Our reaction is one of,
obviously, deep gratitude for the
level of support from Mr. Ware,"
said J.T. Vaughan, College of
Veterinary Medicine dean. "We
want to work hard to merit this."
Ware, who offered the $500,000
challenge, said, "Dean Vaughan
was pleased to have the commit­ment
knowing that Auburn
Alumni would match the pledge."
Vaughan said, "The trustees
authorized the matching funds
. with the understanding that we
can raise the money."
The proposed center will be
developed for "oncology, which is
the study of tumors commonly
associated with cancer. In imag­ing
laboratories we can take
advantage of CAT scans, ultra­sounds
and x-rays," Vaughan
said.
The facility will take advan­tage
of existing laboratories and
adjoining space. "When com­pleted
the imaging facility will be
at the hub of the two operations
— the small animal clinic and the
large animal clinic.
"The housing will be complete
in early 1989," Vaughan said.
The University already has some
of the equipment needed for the
facility, but other equipment will
be purchased "as soon as we have
the money. We are building the
room, before we have the
furniture."
When finished, the center will
have the conventional x-ray,
ultrasound thermography, CAT
scan and MRI, magnetic reson­ance
imaging, plus the existing
nuclear medicine facilities and
the present Cobalt-60 teletherapy
within one facility at a college of
veterinary medicine.

Pharmacist charged with manslaughter
The owner and pharmacist of City Drugs in Anniston, David
Barksdale, has been charged with manslaughter and selling con­trolled
substances without a prescription in connection with the
drug overdose death of an Alabama man.
Barksdale was arrested after relatives of David Thrasher, who
died in August, told authorities that he might have received drugs
without a prescription from City Drugs.
After investigation authorities found that Thrasher's prescrip­tions
were either unauthorized or had been refilled without author­ization
a number of times.
One of the drugs involved, Darvocet, contains propoxyphene
which can kill when taken in excessive doses, according to the
Physician's Desk Reference.
Barksdale has given up his federal narcotics license, and author­ities
have seized all controlled substances from City Drugs.

Reagan predicts no recession in '88
President Reagan said Monday that there will not be an eco­nomic
recession unless "doomcryers scare the people into one."
The nation's huge trade deficit, blamed in part for the turbulence
on Wall Street, is desirable and a "sign of strength" instead of
weakness in the economy, Reagan said.
Discussing Black Monday, Oct. 19, when the Dow Jones indus­trial
stock average plunged 508 points, Reagan said, "I don't
believe that the dollar or anything outside of Wall Street and the
markets had anything to do with the great debacle."
Babies born with AIDS antibodies
One out 61 babies born in New York City during December car­ried
antibodies to the AIDS virus, according to a story in Wednes -
day's New York Times.
The study, which was a statewide effort, shows that AIDS has
become the leading health threat among babies born in New York.
Researchers predict that in 1988 approximately 1,000 babies will
be born in New York with AIDS — with most of them coming from
the city.
Results varied throughout the state from one in 43 in the Bronx
to one of 749 in upstate New York.

U.S. leads world military spending
The nations of the world spent $1.8 million a minute last year on

in first place, according to an annual study.
Global military spending increased $50 billion over 1986. There
were more wars last year — 22 — than ever before. The death toll
from those conflicts so far is 2.2 million, with civilians accounting

Hunt changes education standards
By Shirley Schofield
Staff Writer
There could be some changes at
Auburn as a result of education
reforms proposed by Gov. Guy
Hunt, Dr. Jack Blackburn, Col­lege
of Education dean, said.
"There won't be any drastic
changes. There will be some
changes and in three to five years
we will eventually see a differ­ence,"
Blackburn said. The way
students prepare for a job in
school administration will
change the most, Blackburn said.
Hunt's changes will include a
program to recruit the best stu­dents
to fill positions as school
principals. Hunt also wants to
raise the standards for evalua­tion
of teachers and principals.
Changes in the education cur­riculum
that Auburn is consider­ing
include classes in using com­puters
to help with school
management, legal matters and
more classes in education and the
law, according to Blackburn.
The reforms could cause
Auburn to change its contract
with the State Department of
Education for a research project
on the effectiveness of teacher
evaluation for a career incentive
program. •
the Department of Education to
develop a better evaluation test
for educators.
They will also be working
together to develop a plan to
lower the dropout rate in primary
schools. The plan will include the
amount of funding required for
the reforms.
The governor's proposals
included raising the standards
for students entering a curricu­lum
in education. A stronger cer-
Auburn will be working with
the University of Alabama and
tification examination for
teachers that is equal to the
national teachers' examination
was also mentioned in Hunt's
proprosals.
Dr. David Ost, director of the
Truman Pierce Institute Educa­tional
Research Center, said edu­cation
reforms are being imple­mented
by governors in many
states. He said the reforms were
triggered by an awareness in
industries lacking a literate work
force.
The implementation of the
reforms is up to the Legislature,
Blackburn said. The only reforms
that will have trouble passing are
the ones that cost money, he said.
"The concepts will be favored.
Whether or not there will be
money in the Special Education
Fund will be the problem,"
Blackburn said.

Senator addresses concerned citizens
By Paul DeMarco
Staff Writer
The fundamental problem fac­ing
the United States is the $2.5
trillion deficit, U.S. Sen. Richard
Shelby said in a county public
meeting Monday night at
Auburn City Hall.
Shelby addressed approxi­mately
100 people on this subject,
and other problems facing the
United States.
"No country is as strong as its
basic economic base, and the atti­tude
of its people," Shelby said.
He believes that the national
deficit and the trade deficit are
major issues, and need to be
solved soon.
He added that he supports a
Constitutional amendment for a
balanced budget.
By Monday of next week,
Shelby will have covered 54 coun­ties
in Alabama. In his campaign
for the U.S. Senate, he had prom­ised
to have a meeting in all 67
Alabama counties every year,
and he plans to have meetings in
the remainder of the counties by
March.
Most of the audience's ques­tions
concerned a facet of the
economy, but other major issues
such as the INF Treaty and the
Sandinista/Contra issue were
voiced.
Shelby expressed reservations
about the new treaty signed by
President Reagan and Russian
Premier Gorbachev because he
believes conventional weapons
should be included.
He also said he is skeptical of
any type of peace initiative the
Russians make while they still
have troops in Afghanistan and
continue to supply the Sandinis­tas
in Nicarauga with military
weapons.
"I have supported the Contras
entirely since I have been in Con­gress,"
Shelby said. "Military
and economic aid need to be sent
to the Contras. If the Contras go,
the whole area will fall to Corn-

Chair no handicap for student
By Shannon Jones
Assistant Features Editor
Ice skating and flying are two
things Auburn student Kim
Mensi was able to do on "silent
power." She experienced both in
her electronic, battery-powered
wheelchair.
A 21-year-old junior majoring
in elementary education, Kim
was born with cerebal palsy.
Unlike many, she has complete
speech abilities and can stand if
assisted, but she has never been
able to walk unassisted.
Last spring Kim went horse­back
riding and canoeing. The
following summer she went fly­ing
in a two-seater plane, and at
least once a year she likes to visit
Six Flags over Georgia.
"It's neat to see people's faces"
while riding the Scream Mach­ine,
"because they look at me like
'I can't believe a handicapped
person is riding that.'"
Like most people, Kim can
drive a car. Her van is fitted with
special hand controls so that the
brakes, gas, gears, blinkers, wip­ers
and radio all lay within
hand's reach of the wheel. Kim
earned her driver's license after
attending Lakeshore Rehabilita­tion
Center in Birmingham for
nine months. But it wasn't until
July 1984 that she got behind the
wheel of a car for the first time.
"I used to never be able to go
anywhere by myself. It (driving)
has given me a lot of independ­ence,"
she said. "I like to get out.
I'd go crazy if I had to stay inside
all the time.
"I'm lucky. The majority of the
Mensi seeks to dispel
common misconceptions
people in wheelchairs aren't
independent. I never thought I'd
be able to go to college. Coming to
Auburn and living on my own
(with a roommate) has given me
more self confidence," Kim said.
She has participated in Miss
Wheelchair Alabama three con­secutive
years since 1985. The
1987 competition held in Mobile
was the fourteenth in the pag­eant's
series. Fifteen ladies partic­ipated
and were judged on their
accomplishments, communica­tion
skills and appearance.
The winner represents the state
at the national competition and
speaks to various clubs through­out
the year. The minimum age
for a contestant is 18, but there is
no maximum age limit. In 1985,
the winner was 55 years old. Kim
won $1,000 scholarships in 1986
and 1987."
But one of her biggest accom­plishments,
she said, has been
attending Auburn. "I never
thought I'd be able to live away
from home, but I didn't know
about all the things available for
people in wheelchairs."
One of the most important
things Kim had to consider while
choosing a college was accessibil­ity.
She says she is pleased with
Auburn, but has been frustrated
with some of the obstacles on
campus. For example, she can't
get into Mary Martin Hall, the
Bursars Office or Langdon Hall.
"The doors in Haley Center are
great, but I can't reach the but­tons
in the elevators." The elec­tronic
doors are on the side adja­cent
to the parking lot, but in
order to get to Thach or Tichenor
she must go around the building.
"There was a ramp at Mary
Martin when I came here in 1985,
but they took it down and haven't
put another one up. They won't
put a ramp up at Langdon Hall
because it is a landmark build­ing,
and they don't want to put
any additions on it," Kim says. "I
can see the free movie in Foy
Union, but I'd rather be able to go
with my friends."
But she says there can be
advantages to being in a wheel­chair,
like never having to attend
drop and add. Instead she simply
makes a telephone call to the regis­ter.
"I never have to look for a seat
at a football game," she says, and
she is always first in line.
Kim considers herself fortu­nate.
"I'm not like the ilypical per­son
in a wheelchair," she says. "I
was always treated like a normal
child.
"I admire my mom for the
strength she had. She never told
me I couldn't do something cause
I might get hurt; she treated me
like anybody else."
What makes her mad, Kim
says, is when someone refers to
her as crippled or when her
wheelchair breaks down. "It
doesn't bother me when people
say stuff like' Come walk down
here with me' but people think it
does," she said.
People often have misconcep­tions
about the handicapped, or
(as they are now called) the phys­ically
challenged, she says. "In
rehabilitation classes they teach
that if you're talking to someone
in a wheelchair it is best to get
down to their level by sitting in a
chair or something. The first time
somebody did that to me I didn't
know what they were doing," she
says.
One of the reasons Kim
majored in education, she says,
was to dispel some of the miscon­ceptions
people have and to serve
as a role model to handicapped
students. "I want them to know
they can do anything they want
to, and that they shouldn't give
up."
She wants to teach in a public
school designed for handicapped
students to attend classes with
able-bodied students. "I think it's
good for people that walk to be
around people in wheelchairs so
that they can learn we're like every­body
else," she says.
"People always ask me why I
don't wish I could walk," she
says. "I'm happy now. I'd rather
be happy than be able to walk
cause I see a lot of people that are
able to walk that are still
unhappy.
"There's not anything I want
that I don't already have."

ALO concerned about attitude toward gays
Out-of-state testin;

Editor's note: Some names in this
story have been changed to pro­tect
the sources' identities.
They are like spies in their own
country. Notes are passed,
numbers are unlisted, addresses
ujnknown. There is even a secret
code.
; They live a kind of double life
-l-gay on the inside, while on the
outside, appropriate appearances
aire kept. They are afraid.
• But, recent newspaper articles
on AIDS have turned the spot­light
on the gay community by
exposing Haley Center rest
rooms as meeting places for gay
men.
I "We are not heading into the
bathrooms simply because we
don't want to get beaten up, but
Haiey Center is not a haven for
homosexual activity,'^saioVPat, a
graduate student ana/vice presi­dent
of ALO.
There have been rumors of vio­lence
against gay men since the
controversy over Haley Center
restroooms has begun. "A friend
of mine said that his next-door
neighbors went out in a pickup
truck with sticks or something
and they said,' We're going to go
out and find ourselves some fags
to beat up,' and they headed off to
campus," said Pat. "I'm scared —
I'm not even going out to dinner."
Members of ALO feel this
threat of violence is from fear and
ignorance. "I actually heard a
guy say', I'm afraid to go in the
bathrooms because I'll get AIDS,'
Can you believe that?" said Pat.
ALO members are quick to
admit, however, that lots of gay
men did have casual sex in public
Weather freezes music
By Kimberly Bradley
Assistant News Editor
Since winter quarter classes
have begun, there has been more
static and dead air coming over
the WEGL airwaves than music.
The University-owned sta­tion's
problems began with the
ice storm last Thursday. First of
all, the 160 foot antenna on top of
Haley Center was covered with
one-half inch of ice, according to
the station's chief engineer Bob
Nance.
"Then the transmitter shut
Photography: Chria Kirby
WEGL antenna
itself down. It just had too much,"
Nance said.
After the ice melted, the station
had to operate on only 9.4 watts
compared to its normal 360 watts
of power due to an overheated
power adjustor. The $85 part was
rush-ordered and permitted the
station to resume normal opera­tions
yesterday.
The lower amount of wattage
"made no difference in the
sound" when the station was on
the air Nance said. "There are the
same spots where the station
fades."
What will make a difference in
these fade spots on the out skirts
of campus is a decision by the
Federal Communication Com­mission
to up the station's wat­tage
from 360 to 3000, said Dr.
Steven Padgett.
The FCC'8 usual nine-month
process to change an FM station's
wattage has been prolonged to
almost 14 months. Padgett said
that it is because of Document 80-
90 issued by the FCC which said
that all FM stations in the United
States had to maximize the
height of their antenna within a
certain amount of time or "they
would be doomed to operating at
whatever power they had for a
long time," Padgett said. "There
was an avalanche of stations try­ing
to maximize their power to
100,000, and our request came in
the middle of it."
"Out of the 4,500 FM commer­cial
stations, about 4,300 stations
applied to the FCC last year to
maximize their power," Padgett
said.
Padgett said that he has no
idea how long the three steps —
engineering checks, public
inspection, legal aspects — will
take, but he calls the FCC weekly.
places but say this trend has
declined 'and is not T typical of
homosexuals on campus now.
"There are hundreds of gay
people who are not out. Those are
the people who are in the
bathrooms," said Bart, a member
of Auburn's faculty and ALO.
Most gay men and women
believe that Auburn's tightly
conservative atmosphere con­tributes
to the number of gays
who are forced into the res-trooms.
"In Auburn, the com­munity
and the atmosphere are
so oppressive that a lot of people
come here and they're too scared
to come out and become part of an
organization to be free of that
redneck mind set," said Bart.
The only way these people
know how to get other gay con­tacts
is in the restrooms," said
Pat.
ALO members say they were
making progress towards a free
gay community before the arti­cles
came out. Now, however,
they say the progress they have
made has been pushed back.
"Now, it will be harder for people
to admit they are gay," said John,
secretary of ALO.
"An 18-year-old freshman
homosexual at Auburn will be
absolutely fearful of saying a
word to anyone, even anonym­ously,
through a letter to ALO.
This could damage the member­ship
and the purpose of ALO,
which is to inform people and to
be a service," said Pat
ALO members believe homo­sexuals-
would not have to sneak
around in the restrooms if they
were officially recognized by the
University. "Auburn could admit
that there is a gay community,
but it tends to deny it. It could be
less hostile to a gay organiza­tion,"
said Bart.
ALO has been in existence
since 1975, having formed its
first constitution in 1981. Last
spring, ALO's roster was down to
six people, but since then mem­bership
has increased 300 per­cent.
More than 20 people regu­larly
attend meetings, and there
are 15 others that are in the pro­cess
of joining.
Members have been trying to
obtain official recognition from
the University since 1975 but
have been met with some resist­ance.
Standing in their way is the
SGA Constitution, Title V, Arti­cle
403.4 which states: "Upon
approval of the Probationary
Charter by the Student Senate,
said organization shall be
required to submit a list of at least
fifteen members' names, includ­ing
the officers to The Auburn
Plainsman for publication on a
minimum of a 1/12 page ad."
"Who in their right mind would
put their name in the Plains­man?"
Pat said.
The only reason given for pub­lication
of the names is that the
University requires an organiza­tion
to prove it has 15 members.

AIDS testing in Alabama has
become considerably more risky.
In a law that went into effect on
September 1,1987, all physicians
are required to report positive
AIDS test results to state health
officials or be fined $500.
This has raised ah outcry from,
AIDS activists who are afraid the
test results and names will be
leaked to the public.
Rick Adams, of the Bir­mingham
AIDS Outreach,
(BAO), is advising people to go
out of state frr the tests. "The big
issue in this state is 'let's find out
who everybody is that has AIDS'.
I don't feel the state health
department can keep the tests
results confidential," he said.
Claude Earl Fox, the state
h e a l t h officer, refused to
comment.
Since the law went into effect,
lists of people who test positive
for the, AIDS virus have been col­lected
by the city police depart­ment
of Montgomery and para­medics
and Bheriff s deputies in
Birmingham.
AIDS activists are outraged
and say these lists are an inva­sion
of privacy. ''You seesort of
an 'us and them' type mentality
in public officials," Adams said^ •
Some of the activists'fear was
realized a few months ago when a
paper at the AUM campus
obtained a list from a police
source in Montgomery. The stu­dents,
however, have not. pub­lished
the list.
Adams said that part of the
real danger of the lists is that it
will scare more people away from
taking the tests at all, "We just
tell our callers at the BAO that if
you want anonymous testing* go
out of state;" said Adams.
In an official statement on
AIDS testing in Alabama,
members of Alpha Lambda
Omega said, "ALO supports the-statement;

Ready to tie the knot?
Center offers pre-marital counseling
By J a n e t Jimmerson
Features Editor
She's the girl of your dreams.
You have so much in common,
and the family just adores her.
But will it last?
Lately many have wondered if
"till death do us part" and "hap­pily
ever after" are just empty,
well-worn phrases as the divorce
rate continues to climb. A major
factor in the increase, according
to Dr.Connie Salts, director of
Auburn's Marriage and Family
Therapy Center, "is the failure of
couples to prepare for marriage."
Therefore, on Jan. 25 the center
will begin a series of seven ses­sions
for couples interested in
premarital counseling. Five cou­ples
will be selected to participate
from interviews held Jan. 18 and
19, she said, and couples do not
have to be engaged.
The sessions will be conducted
by graduate students Jamie Sin­clair
and Jim Lilly and will meet
7-9 p.m. on Monday evenings at
the Louise Glanton House across
from Haley Center.
"This group is not a substitute
for premarriage counseling,"
Snlts said, but "it can help indi­viduals
better understand them­selves
and their readiness for
Art: F.liin Kukrw
marriage.
Lilly, who is working on his
doctorate and counseled for 16
years in the Montgomery area,
said the center has already
received calls and may offer
additonal sessions in the spring
and summer.
Their goal, he said, is to help
couples "become more aware of
the marriage preparation process
and to assess their own readiness
for marriage." Some couples dis­cover
they aren't suited for mar­riage
which, he said, can make
joining a premarital class a risk.
"Some of the most successful
cases were when they decided
they weren't ready for marriage,"
Salts said. "Each person comes to
marriage with a contract, a set of
expectations — some verbal and
some nonverbal. The key," she
said, "is to take two contracts and
make them one."
There can be warning signs,

Amendments to core curriculum defeated
By Kristin Heilig
and Tammy Trout
Staff Writers
Conflicts within the University
Senate at Tuesday's meeting
prevented passage of amend­ments
to add computer literacy
and foreign language require­ments
to the University's pro­posed
core curriculum.
The Senate defeated a proposed
amendment by a vote of 38-29
that would have required each
student entering Auburn to have
" completed two years of a foreign
language in high school, or pass
the last course in the first year
foreign language sequence.
Textile engineering senator,
Dr. Roy Broughton, presented the
foreign language requirements,
the first of six proposed core cur­riculum
amendments.
A major stumbling block to the
passage of the foreign language
amendment was the argument
raised by Dr. Donald Buck, sena­tor
from the foreign language
department. Buck questioned the
equivalency of high school for­eign
language classes to college
level courses.
Dr. Ian Hardin said, "The Col­lege
of Engineering feels con­strained"
by the foreign lan­guage
requirement in t he
proposed core curriculum. Har­din
said if engineering is held to
both the 210 credit hours needed
for graduation and the foreign
language requirements, the
result could be cutbacks in tech­nical
courses.
The computer literacy amend­ment
was defeated by a vote of
42-25. Dr. James Cross, computer
science and engineering assis­tant
professor, submitted the
amendment adding a computing
requirement. The student could
satisfy the requisite by either
passing an approved high school
computer course or an introduc­tory
level University course.
"The formal debate (on the
proposed core curriculum) has
lasted only one and a half
months," Dr. Dennis Rygiel,
University Senate chair, said.
The core curriculum report was
first presented in the fall of 1987.
Rygiel said "it takes time to build
a consensus," thus slowing the
approval of a new core curricu­lum
for Auburn.
Another proposed amendment
was submitted jointly by the
senators of the Army, Navy and
Air Force ROTC departments. It
concerned the elective credit
hours for ROTC cadets and mid­shipmen.
The amendment was
ruled out of order because it dealt
with the implementation rather
than the content of the proposed
core curriculum.
In other business, Dr. George
Emert, University executive vice
president, announced that the
Alabama Council on Higher
Education recommended a 16.67
percent increase in funding for
the University. "Hopefully, the
governor will follow through on
that recommendation," Emert
said.
Dr. E. Shelton Burden, director
of Auburn's Affirmative Action
and Equal Opportunity program,
spoke to the Senate stressing that
the office is "here not to create
problems, but to solve problems."
She offered steps to increase
the visibility of Affirmative
Action at the University. "I
believe it is in our best interest to
have the best possible people on
campus, regardless of race,"
Burden said.
The Senate unanimously
passed the final report submitted
by the special Committee on
Women and Minority Concerns.
Dr. Charlotte Ward, associate
professor of physics and chair of
the committee, said "The report
reflects that Auburn hasn't
changed its image of itself as
much as it has changed its
makeup."
Jan. 26 was named as a prospec­tive
date for a Senate vote on
the adoption of a questionnaire
for the evaluation of administra­tors.
The evaluations will be con­ducted
annually by a standing
committee of the Senate ap­pointed
by the chair. The questi­onnaire
is designed to secure
anonymous information con­cerning
administrator perform­ance.

Celebration ^8 to unify Christians
By Jill Young
Staff Writer
You flip the T.V. around and
. there it is: the religious station.
Spme man up on a stage yelling
into a microphone and the
audience yelling "amen" back at
him. This may be what some
think of when they hear the word
revival.
An upcoming campus event,
Celebration '88 is a revival, but
one with a "vision," according to
Scott Puckett and 11 other
students.
Their "vision" is "to see the
Christians of Auburn's campus
united, under one roof, as a body;
to encourage one another in their
walk with Christ and to see
Auburn's campus reach for
Christ by encouraging prayer,
evangelism, discipleship and
personal growth."
Campus Vision Ministries, a
committee of 12 students, is
sponsoring Celebration '88 and
hope to see this "vision" of unity
come into focus at the Student
Activities Building, Jan. 21, at 7
p.m. Celebration '88 includes
speakers John "Rat" Riley, and
Auburn graduate; Harold Mel­ton,
SGA president; testimonies
by Rebecka Nagel and Rich Cal­kins;
music by Julane Wads-worth
and the bands Voice and
Steadfast.
Puckett is a sophomore in
speech communications and
director of Campus Vision Minis­tries.
The fall of his freshman
year, "God revealed to me in my
heart about the possibility of see-has
had a vision like this for the
campus," said Puckett.
Puckett said he hoped Cele­bration
'88 would be a "type of
party" where "we can all get
together and realize that we are a
body and a family."
Though Christians have a lot
of differences, Puckett said, Cele-
'It's almost the cool thing, particu­larly
at Auburn, to be a Christian,
but it's not the cool thing to live
like one.' —Scott Puckett
ing a revival on campus," said
Puckett.
In high school, Puckett was a
member of a contemporary
Christian band called The Wave.
He thought that the revival
would start through music and so
he prayed that God would pro­vide
a band at Auburn. The band
is now called Voice.
Voice wanted to do the revival,
but didn't know how or when to
do it. The band put off the possi­bility
of a revival, said Puckett,
but "it stayed in my mind."
"I'm not the first person that

bration '88 is meant to concen­trate
on what we have in com­mon...
Jesus Christ.
"It's almost the cool thing, par­ticularly
at Auburn, to be a Chris­tian,"
he said, "but it's not the
cool thing to live like one."
As Puckett started talking to
the Christian organizations on
campus about the idea of a reviv-al,
he said that one thing
"bugged" him. They all thought it
was a good idea, he said, but they
said it had been tried before and
it didn't work.
Puckett said he had heard a
quote from his home church in
Atlanta that challenged him:
"Attempt something so great for
God that it's doomed to failure
unless God be in it.'
"Only God can unify Chris­tians,"
said Puckett, "we just
have to be available and open for
Him to do it."
The UPC Religious Affairs
Committtee had originally
agreed to sponsor Celebration
'88, but according to university
policy, events sponsored by the
committee can't include testimo­nies,
said Leigh Nichols, Relig­ious
Affairs director.
Finances for Celebration '88
have been raised by two dough­nut
sales, Days Inn Corporation
and personal sponsors.
No profit will be made by Cam­pus
Vision Ministries, Puckett
said.
Riley, a well-known speaker at
Auburn started the Rats Bible
Study as an undergraduate at
Auburn. He also speaks at the
Metro Bible Study in Atlanta.
Puckett said he doesn't know
how many people will participate
and that there is a possibility
that some groups may boycott.
Celebration '88 since it leans
toward being a Protestant event.
But he said that Celebration '88
welcomes everyone regardless of
denomination or race.
The purpose, he said is "to
unify as a body and encourage
one another in their personal
walk with Christ."

Dye's tie
It would seem that Syra­cuse's
football coach, Dick
MacPherson, has a lot to say.
Unfortunately, his incessant
sputterings don't amount to
much.
MacPherson showed his
devotion to sportsmanship
after Coach Pat Dye went for
a tie in the final seconds of the
1988 Sugar Bowl.
Dye ran onto the field to
shake the Syracuse coach's
h a n d , and M a c P h e r s on
pushed him away. In the post-game
interview, Dick called
Dye's decision "silly" and
said he would have gone for
the win.
MacPherson is not alone in
his criticism of Dye. In the
Jan. 11 issue of Sports Illus­trated,
Douglas S. Looney
called Dye's decision "non-sporting,"
and the headline
said Dye had "meekly settled
for a t i e " a g a i n s t the
Orangemen.
Both MacPherson's and
L o o n e y ' s c r i t i c i s m s are
uncalled for and ridiculous.
Dye is the coach. He made a
coaching decision. He would
rather tie than lose. Unlike
Please... *
MacPherson, however, Dye
has some class, sportsman­ship
and the guts to stand by
what has proven to be an
unpopular decision.
Given MacPherson's and
Syracuse's bowl experience in
the past 10 years (one appear­ance
in the now defunct
Cherry Bowl), we would all be
better off if the verbose coach
would keep his mouth shut.
The Tiger's coach has been
in Auburn for seven years,
and he has had only one los­ing
season (1981), has now
taken Auburn to six bowls
and has the second highest
winning percentage in the
SEC, behind Georgia's Vince
Dooley.
The Plainsman applauds
Dye's decision. What should
be the main question is: Why
not a sudden-death overtime
in college bowl games? It
could drastically reduce the
possibility of a tie and add
another dimension to the
game.
To his "Tie Dye" critics, we
urge Dye to utter an effective
three-word phrase: "Go to
hell."
From Jan. 18-21 in the
basement of Haley Center, the
SGA will hold its annual win­ter
quarter blood drive. The
SGA and the Red Cross need
your help.
The need for blood has
never waned, but this year the
cry for more donations is one
of desperation.
Because of the accidents
that accompany this festive
time of year and the number
of elective surgeries taking
place, Red Cross blood banks

alarming rate.

Actors, actresses are just folks too
Many people who see and those
who love the movies harbor a
secret hope that one day they will
be able to actually see and maybe
even talk to their favorite movie
star. I am one of those people.
Throughout my many years as
a moviegoer I have maintained a
desire to meet some of my favorite
actors and actresses. Unfortu­nately,
I happen to be an avid fan
of the classics and many of my
favorites have died. However, I
certainly wouldn't shirk the
opportunity of bumping into one
of the modern day movie stars.
But one problem has always
bothered me: What does one say
once you have a star in your
grasp? Do you ask for an auto­graph?
Do you ask him/her if
those stories in the National
Enquirer are true? I had always
felt a person who happens to
brush across a genuine movie
star ought to treat them just as a
person.
Don't hem, haw and make a big
fool out of yourself. Treat them
just as what they are — people. Of
course, like many free-advice
artists, I give the advice safe in
the knowledge that I will never be
faced with the situation upon
which I profess to be an expert.
As fate would have it, my first
trip to Colorado also turned out to
be my first meeting with an actor
I had grown to admire after see­ing
him in one of my favorite
movies.
Before the Christmas break,
some friends and I decided that it
would be quite an adventure if we
were to make an innocent sojourn
over the break to the Rocky
Mountains, specifically, Vail,
Col.
I soon found out, however, that
Vail Village, in the words of
Robin Leach, is the "playground
for the rich and famous." There­fore,
most of the shops and bars
reflected the high income bracket
of their patrons.
By our final night in Vail, we
had just enough pocket change
for one final explosion of
excessiveness.
With traveler's checks flying in
every direction, Corona beer bot­tles
stacking up and the cold
becoming less and less of a prob­lem,
we danced our way into the
Bridge Street Shuffle.
The Shuffle was a basement
disco with just enough room for
the people crammed onto its
dance floor and around its oaken,
wall length bar.
My friend, who will be known
as "Sam," and I bellied up to the
bar, ordered drinks and scanned
the room for the others. Before
long he was off milling about the
area, and I was left to fend for
myself.
The loud music made casual
conversation an impossibility so
I studied the men and women
crowded around the bar and then
spotted "Sam" seated in the left
hand corner talking to a man I
couldn't recognize.
Dressed in a leather jacket with
a Minnesota Twins cap pulled
down over his eyes, "Sam's" new
friend was not immediately rec­ognizable
until he raised his head
to throw back a shot of whiskey.
Staring me in the face was Pfc.
Chris Taylor.
After checking again, just to
make sure my beer goggles were
not affecting my vision, I was
sure. There he stood — Charlie
Sheen, son of Martin, brother of
Emilio.
I elbowed my way around the
bar and tapped "Sam" on the
shoulder to get some information.
Yes, he said, it was Charlie
Sheen, and he had flown down
that night after arguing with his
girlfriend, Charlotte Lewis
(Eddie Murphy's leading lady in
The Golden Child).
"Sam" introduced me to Char­lie,
and he and I struck up a con­versation.
Soon, I had forgotten
who I was talking to as we dis­cussed
football, baseball, his
father's heart attack while film­ing
Apocalypse Now, his broth­er's
break up with Demi Moore
and her eventual marriage to
Bruce Willis, his new movie, Wall
Street, and his upcoming film
projects.
Along the way, we drank, made
toasts to God and country, sang
our own version of "Shout" and
became friends for the night.
When the bar closed, I asked for.
his autograph as a present for my
sister. Before leaving, we shook
hands for the last time and
exchanged "good lucks."
On the flight back home, the
experience was still fresh in my
mind as was the indelible
impression it left: For those few
hours, Charlie Sheen became just
plain old Charlie, and we were
just two regular people drinking a'
few beers and talking about regu­lar
things.

Football: It's that ole time religion
It is known that in six days the
Lord made heaven and earth, the
sea and all the creatures therein.
Then on the seventh day he
rested. He rested on the seventh
day, for on the eighth he'arose
again and created Auburn' Foot­ball,
Pat Dye and, for his team
—the few, the proud, the chosen
—he made the following command­ments.
Thou shalt honor Pat Dye
as though he were thy father and
thy mother.
Thou shalt kill if down by a l'U
in the last two minutes against
Bama.
Thou shalt steal eagerly, often
and at every opportunity, the ball
from thy opponent.
Thou shalt not commit adul­tery
and shalt spurn women, for
it is they who are the root of all
evil during the season.
Thou shalt covet every scored
point, every new car, every last
helping at the dinner table, every
alumnus' gold and goodwill for
thy very own.
Thou shalt bear false witness,
the ball, agonizing practices and
the press in the name of Pat and
Auburn Football.
Thou shalt put nothing before
/'jHP^P© Jimmerson
Football.
Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven images lest they be
cast first in pigskin. And thou
shalt not bow down before any
other of these images for Football
is a jealous god.
Thou shalt not take the Auburn
name in vain but shalt revere it
all the days of thy life.
And finally, thou shalt
remember Saturday and keep it
holy for thou knowest that life
begins with a toss and ends with
the whistle.
Now before lightning strikes,
and I receive the first hate mail of
my young journalistic career, let
me say to those who failed to
catch the joke that one of God's
greatest gifts is a sense of humor.
And I think God probably has a
wonderful sense of humor. There
is certainly evidence to attest to
this. As one comedian says, look
at the platypus if you don't think
so — duck-billed, web-footed,
beaver-tailed and furry, yet it
lays eggs. Wouldn't you like to
classify that one?
My father could tell you some­thing
about this sense of humor.
A lifetime Alabama fan who
believes that football didn't even
begin until the Bear, he is now
addressing half his earnings to
AU in the name of his firstborn.
You see, I come from a host of
Alabama fans — all residents of
Tennessee and not an alumnus in
the bunch I'm happy to say. I was
raised to the herald of "Roll Tide"
and learned at an early age to
honor the colors crimson and
white.
Bear was also my hero and, like
my parents, I cheered him on to
many victories. So the eventual
news of my conversion to orange
and blue was taken as no less
than blasphemy.
I didn't understand the
seriousness of the situation until
I moved to Alabama and learned
the truth about football — not the
game, the religion.
There are two teams to choose
from. Do not seek to straddle the
fence; it is a most uncomfortable
seat and temporary at best. In
less than a year I became an
Auburn fanatic, and I can now
understand why my folks, who
were raised here, took my deci­sion
to attend Auburn with the
same enthusiasm they might
have shown had I announced my
intention to join the Moonies.
In this state, loyalties are
learned early and last a lifetime.
Football is a holy thing, a sacred
institution never to be taken
lightly and for some, a path to
sainthood. The leaders of the two
reigning denominations in Ala­bama
are revered and respected
as few evangelists ever dream of
being.
And, as we've seen, the disci­ples
of this religion may occa­sionally
transgress and find for­giveness,
(unless they fail to
perform).
I'd like to thank this year's
team for making my last season
as a native so sweet. You made
me proud, and gave me bragging
rights at home for another year.
How sweet it is.

Merry Christmas and an
indebted new year!
— a yuppie Christmas card
Woe be unto the yuppie. With
all the Christmas excesses
behind (i.e. the plastic at its limit)
and a rocky new year ahead, the
poor guys are probably sulking
over their Corona (and don't
forget the lime twist). The yup­pies'
moping may well be with
good reason.
No one knows what the new
year has in store for the nation's
economy. With the stock market
suffering spasms and the dollar
floundering on the international
market, even most economists
over in Thach Hall are hesitant to
venture a guess.
So, I decided to take my queries
right to the source.
On Christmas Day, after ritual

turkey and dressing at Grand­ma's
house, I discussed with my
cousin — the consummate yuppie
— what the new year has in store
for yuppies. After all, some in the
media have already written the
yuppie off as a thing of the past. I
wanted to know if there is any
truth to the predictions.
"Will 1988 bring the death of
the yuppie?" I asked.
Before she answers, let me tell
you about my cousin. Only four
years out of college, she makes a
generous income as an account­ant
in Atlanta. She owns a
condo in Dunwoody, Ga. (a yup­pie
suburb). She drives a VW
Cabriolet (with leather interior).
She travels and takes cruises to
Club Med. What else could a yup­pie
ask for?
Lack of money is no impedi­ment
to enjoying the finer things
in life for the yuppie, my cousin
says. "I may not have the great­est
furniture," she says, "but I
always have a bottle of fine wine
in the fridge." (She suggests 1976
Sonoma Chardonnay, a "crisp,
oaky" white wine.)
Well, anyway back to the ques­tion.
"Will 1988 bring the death of
the yuppie?"
"No," my cousin says stead­fastly.
"Once you get used to the
finer things in life, you can't go
back." But she hastens to add
that the stock market crash has
"unnerved yuppies a bit."
Wary yuppies will be spending
less in 1988, she says. "They (the
iroker," think it's going to get
worse oefore it gets better."
One stock broker friend of my
cousin has even thought about a
career change — if the worst
happens. "But that didn't stop
him from buying an Alfa Romeo
a month ago," she says.
I guess the yuppies will survive
these rough times. But just what
if the worst comes to worst? What
if, just what if, the economy con­tinues
to falter, and the yuppies
are not able to continue their, er,
yuppie lifestyle?
There are several options
which could be followed.
Like the soup lines during the
depression of the 1930's, the
government could offer food lines
for yuppies on Wall Street. Wine
and Brie could be substituted for
soup.
The private sector could also
offer its support for the yuppies.
Bob Geldof, organizer of Live
Aid, could organize Yuppie Aid
1988 featuring the likes of Al Jar-reau,
George Winston and Aretha
Franklin.
Yuppies could also come
together with fundraisers of their
own. Imitating the ill-fated
Hands Across America, yuppies
could answer back with Hands
Across Boston..

SGA continues working for students
.
The 1987-88 SGA is now three
quarters into the year with only
one real working quarter
remaining until spring elec­tions
roll around.
This fact leads us to look back
over some of the things that we
have done this year and look
toward what lies ahead.
We began the year with two
mandates from the student
body:
— 1) Work toward the construc­tion
of a swimming complex
with approximately one-third of
the cost to be provided by the
athletic department, and the
rest to l)e funded by a $7 per
quarter increase in tuition.
— 2) Seek to make student activ­ity
fees a percentage of tuition
instead of the 8 percent flat rate
of $8 per quarter.
The SGA responded by com­posing
a letter, addressed to the
Board of Trustees, which out­lined
the need for a swim com­plex
and the students' support
of such.
We received a favorable
response from both the Board
and the administration. The
project has not, however, been
approved because of the unfa­vorable
bond rating of the
athletic department.
Harold
Melton
SGA President
We have been told by the
administration that the athletic
department, by issuing bonds in
order to fund the $9.6 million
athletic department adminis­tration/
football complex cur­rently
under construction, has
extended their debt limit.
This does not include the cost
of construction of tennis courts
that will be built to replace the
ones removed to make room for
the complex. A poor bond rating
drives up the cost of securing
debt.
Therefore, we have been wait­ing
to see what kind of revenues
the department would bring in
and how the bond agencies will
react.
The response to pur request to
have student activity fees
changed to a percentage of tui­tion
did not meet with as favor­able
a response as the swim
complex. The goal is to increase
the money available to student
activity projects.
The strategy has been to ask
for a percentage. Administra­tive
Vice President Hal Finney
and Vice President Jim John­son
have since taken the lead
and brought up new strategies
that achieve the same end. The
response by President Martin
has been encouraging.
As a result, the Budget and
Finance Committee of the Stu­dent
Senate is planning to post­pone
its hearings in which stu­dent
fee allocations are
determined, in order to allow for
the possibility of receiving more
funds.
In addition to the two projects
handed down to us, we also
have begun two projects. We are
excited about the development
of the first video yearbook, the
concept of which is to capture
the major events of the year on
video tapes.
Last quarter the SGA con­tracted
with University Rela­tions,
which will do all the film­ing
and assist in the editing.
We believe this is the most
economical way to ensure qual­ity
filming of events that
Auburn people will have. Randy
Darden, director of the project
will be responsible for final edit­ing
and marketing of the tapes.
Our second new venture has
come with its share of frustra­tion.
During the summer, we
addressed the City Planning
Commission regarding the need
for increased parking in off-campus
apartments.
The presentation was re­ceived
with mixed emotions;
nonetheless, we were assured
that our case would be reviewed
further during fall quarter. We
have been at the mercy of the
Commission to put us on the
agenda.
Please look for notice of the
hearing date in The Plainsman
or contact Mike Holland, liason
to the Auburn City Council.
Many other activities and
programs are scheduled through­out
the coming quarter: the
blood drive, Jan. 18-21; Black
History Month, February; High
School Leadership Conference,
April 30.
However, some serious prob­lems
still remain at Auburn,
and we have not forgotten the
traditional concerns of the stu­dent
body. I believe people do
not complain unless they care;
therefore, complaints and sug­gestions
are welcomed.

Fan invites Dye
to tie one on i
Editor, The Plainsman:
I, like everyone else in the coun­try,
including Coach Dick Mac-
Pherson of the Syracuse Orange­men,
couldn't believe my eyes.
This guy must be kidding. Check
the calendar — it must April 1.
It's definitely a fake field goal.
No, the whole country is having a
massive hangover resulting in a
national hallucination.
Coach Pat Dye had a chance to
kiss the belle of the ball but chose
his sister instead. Now, no
offense against his sister, but
we're not talking about the
opportunity to beat just another
team here.
Syracuse is one of three unde­feated
teams in the universe.
Coaches all over the world would
have "dyed" for this chance. Boy,
you sure showed them.
What do you think, Auburn
pussy cats? No, Let's stay with
Tl-gers.
But now you coaches owe Dye.
Now you have a choice for your
locker room battle cries: "Let's tie
one for the Gipper" or "Remem­ber
boys, tieing isn't everything,
it's the only thing."
In the post-game interview, the
coach defendedi his brilliant
move with these pearls: "If they
wanted to win they should have
blocked the field goal" and "We
got a couple of bad calls in the
game..." and we didn't want
another? That's my conclusion,
:fg;
you supply your own. '&*
Coach, if these gems are a
sampling of your normal ration­ale,
I strongly urge you to read
How to Laugh at Yourself and
Really Mean It by Ara Parsegian.
Dye, in one simple irrevocable
act, you did more for the Univer­sity
of Alabama's football pro­gram
than all the recruiters this
side of the Mississippi.
I can just see all those awesome .
Alabama high school football
play ers watching your gutsy call.
I'll bet they are already lined up
trying to get on your team. I'd be

writers throughout the cour

Hey coach, I'm glad you can
take a joke. Just think, it could
have been worse. Heaven forbid,
if your field goal holder, having
the guts of his leader, had audi-bilized
and ran it in for the
winner, and he was a senior. No,
impossible scenario.
Happy New Year, Dye. Oh,
coach, would you like to join me?:
I'm going to tie one on.

Tigers slay top-ranked 'Cats
By Selena Roberts
Sports Editor
And Daniel was in the Lion's
Den — Rupp Arena.
It was pride and heart which
kept Auburn clawing against the
No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats. Not
talent and skill.
For this game, hard hats would
have been appropriate. There
were a ton of bricks put in the air
last Saturday night.
But, no matter how sluggish
both the offenses played, the Tig­ers
fought harder and hustled
longer than anyone could have
expected. That someone included
Coach Sonny Smith who said
teams only win in Rupp Arena
"once a century."
How were the Tigers supposed
to win in the first place? The Ken­tucky
Wildcats had the all-everything
squad with their
multi-talented many making the
pro scouts drool.
And then there was Auburn, a
team hit by an epidemic of hard­ship
with the absence of their
front line big boys — Jeff Moore
and Mike Jones.
But, somehow the Tigers
became world beaters.
The game started and the
"Den" of 23,379 Wilcat fans
roared. The game ended and
there was a hush...Auburn 53,
Kentucky 52.
"Oh my goodness, what a big
win," an elated Smith said. "For
me, this is one of the biggest
thrills."
At times, the game pace was
awkward with shots straying
nario of the entire game evolved
on the boards.
Each rebound was a battle.
Auburn's Matt Geiger, Chris
Morris and John Caylor out-muscled
a physically superior
Kentucky team.
Game facts
After the loss to Auburn, Kentucky fell
to fifth in the polls.
Prior to the win, Auburn had beaten the
Wildcats only once in Lexington.

Wildcats.
from their intended marks. Five
minutes into the game, Auburn
was up 6-1, a baseball score.
When the half ended, Kentucky
had mustered a 28-25 lead over
the Tigers.
At the half, the Wildcats hit
only 35 percent from the field and
Auburn was even less impressive
being 33.3 percent effective, but
offense wasn't the story. The see-
After nine lead changes in the
second half, it all came down to
the last play — one chance at one
shot.
During the timeout with 28
seconds remaining in the game
with the Tigers down by two,
Smith could have driven for a
lay up, settling for a tie and a trip
to overtime.
"I didn't want to play any­more,"
Smith said of his decision
to go for the three-pointer.
The finger of Smith fell upon
Caylor to go for the winning shot.
"I told John (Caylor), 'You're
going to take it and you're going
to hit it," Smith said.
Sure there was pressure on
Caylor, but there was also a
desire in Caylor to make amends
for the free throw he missed less
than a minute earlier.
So, he did.
At the ten second mark, Caylor
launched a shot over the
extended reach of Kentucky
standout Rex Chapman.
Swishhh...It hit nothing but
net. Now, there was nothing left
to do...except celebrate.
It was only appropriate for
Caylor to pounce on the final
rebound of the game after Chap­man
put up one last desperation
shot at the buzzer.
Smith shook hands with Ken­tucky
coach Eddie Sutton after he
had received a short victory ride.
The two shook and all Sutton
could say was, "Great game
plan."
Smith then exited a quiet Rupp
Arena with his arms around his
players.

Abernethy
may face
indictment
By Rob Browne
Staff Writer
A state prosecutor in Alabama
is seeking an indictment against
Atlanta-based sports agent Jim
f"' Abernethy over charges of point-tampering
involving Auburn
defensive back Kevin Porter.
Porter was ruled ineligible
prior to the Sugar Bowl because
he received money from Aber­nethy
by signing with the agent. .
Abernethy reportedly paid Por­ter,
an All-SEC choice at corner-back,
"$1,000 a month plus
bonuses." Defensive backs were
reportedly paid between $100 and
$300 for interceptions and addi­tional
bonuses if they led the
team in tackles.
Assistant Attorney General
Don Valeska has said he will ask
a Lee County grand jury to con­sider
whether the payments by
Abernethy to Porter constituted
tampering with the outcome of a
sports event.

Tigers, Lyle in
'norwin' situation
Lawyer Tillman makes catch in closing seconds
By Selena Roberts
Sports Editor
.NJW_ORLEANS - With four
seconds on* the clock, Auburn
placekicker Win Lyle calmly
stepped onto the Superdome
playing field with the ball at the
Syracuse 13-yard line.
He looked up to measure the 30-
yard attempt.
The snap was good, the field
goal passed a couple of feet inside
the, right upright and was also
good. A moment that kickers
dream of...that last second field
goal.
Except this one was different.
There was no celebration. Lyle
was not buried beneath a pile of
euphoric teammates, smothered
with congratulations in the mid­dle
of the field. Only a few of the
players slapped Lyle on the back.
Lyle and holder Brian Shulman
traded a few high fives and trot­ted
to the sideline.
Some of the Syracuse fans
echoed a chorus of boos from
their side of the Sugar Bowl terri­tory.
And, some of the Auburn
fans cheered from theirs.
But then again, there were
some Tiger hopefuls who simply
gathered up their souvenir Sugar
Bowl Coke cups, their rain coats
and Auburn banners and left, not
booing, not cheering. Because
they didn't win and they didn't
lose.
Lyle had tied the game...not
won it.
"They really didn't like it when
I went out there. They were
screaming to go for it," Lyle said.
"But in the locker room when I
got back in there they congratu­lated
me. Everything was all
right."
If Lyle would have missed the
field goal, the Tigers would have
walked home losers, according to
Coach Pat Dye.
"I tell you why you tie...It came
down to where there was no time
left and if we could execute the
field goal, then we wouldn't get
beat," Dye said.
The game boiled down to which
kicker had the best leg.
Lyle had three field goals as did
the Orangeman's Tim Vesling.
The game also came down to
which defense could stop the
opposing quarterback first.

Victory over Vols
Defense keys Lady Tiger victory
Vickie Orr rejects shot
By Lori Dann
Assistant Sports Editor
The Lady Tiger basketball
team, keyed by an aggressive
defense, came from behind in the
closing minutes to beat defend­ing
national champion Tennes­see
71-68 in Knoxville.
Auburn, 13-1 overall and 1-0 in
the SEC, was led by junior center
Vickie Orr who scored 26 points
and grabbed 12 rebounds. The
Lady Vols, now 9-2 and 0-1 in the
conference, were paced by junior
center Sheila Frost with 16 points
and nine boards.
Auburn Coach Joe Ciampi said
he was extremely pleased with
Orr's performance. "Anytime you
get the ball in Vickie's hands 26
times things are going to
happen," he said, "and most of
the time it will be good. I think
Vickie was a little upset by some
comments the Tennessee players
had made about her offensive
talents. She's not the kind of per­son
who does a lot of talking. She
just gets the job done on the
court."
The game see-sawed back and
forth in the first half, with
neither team able to achieve a
comfortable margin. Tennessee
took a 36-34 lead into the dressing
room at the half.
The Lady Vols came out with a
hot hand in the second half, scor­ing
three consecutive baskets to
give them an eight-point lead.
Auburn slowly chipped away at
the lead and was within a basket
of tying the contest several times.
steal and two free throws by
Ruthie Bolton rounded out the
Auburn scoring.
One big factor, Ciampi said,
was the strong play of his bench.
In 14 minutes sophomore center
Linda Godby scored eight points
and pulled down two rebounds.
Also getting playing time were

he said. "We have to learn to

to our girls too. They shot the ball
'Anytime you get the ball in Vick­ie's
hands 26 times things are
going to happen/
—Joe Ciampi
Lady 1 iqer [Busf;elthilt
With 2:30 left in the game and
Tennessee up by three points,
Ciampi decided to change his
defense. The adjustment worked
and the Lady Vols' only other
points would come from two free
throws by Tonya Edwards with
four seconds to play.
Orr, who was 8-for-8 from the
charity stripe, hit two free throws
with 33 seconds left to give the
Lady Tigers their first lead of the
second half at 67-66.
A Diann McNeil lay up off a
freshmman guard Patrena
Scruggs, junior forward Jocelyn
McGilberry and freshman point
guard Chantel Tremetiere.
"We needed a good effort from
our bench and we got it," Ciampi
said. "I am totally satisfied with
their play. Four people played
and all contributed with defense,
rebounding and overall hustle."
Auburn's shooting percentage
was considerably lower than
usual, but Ciampi attributed that
to the Tennessee defense. "Their
twelve more times than Tennes­see,
and that indicates a strong
rebounding effort."
Ciampi said he thinks his team
learned a lot from the win. "I
think it basically helped them to
understand that the harder you
work and the more you prepare,
the better chance you have to be
successful. They now know what
will happen if they prepare, and
we are preparing ourselves every
day for (the NCAA Tournament
in) March."

Bowman qualifies for
NCAA's at U.S. Open
By AdiciaAbbott
Staff Writer
Unlike most students who
enjoyed an action-packed holi­day
with relatives, the Auburn
swim teams had a busy schedule
that forced them to miss a few
days of seasonal fun.
The mens' and womens' teams
competed in a dual meet against
Southern Illinois and the Uni­versity
of Tennessee, and then
the mens' team traveled to
Orlando to compete in the U.S.
Open International Invitational.
"We had some real good per­formances,"
head coach John
Asmuth said. The womens' team
was victorious against Southern
Illinois and the University of
Tennessee in a double dual meet
with scores of 86-27 and 57-56.
"I think because we were
swimming against both teams,
Southern Illinois kind of got
caught in the shuffle," Asmuth
said, explaining that Southern
Illinois was caught in the middle
of the fierce competition between
Auburn and Tennessee.
In the mens'meet, the decisio n
came down to the last relay, bat
Southern Illinois won by 61-52.
Asmuth was pleased with the
performance of the mens' team,
but regretted'having to change
his line-up after losing two top
swimmers, Steve Farmer and
Mike Kriethe, because of injuries.
At the U.S. Open, senior Rod
Bowman qualified for the NCAA
100-meter butterfly event. " Hav­ing
Rob Bowman qualify for
NCAA was a real plus for us in
the meet," Asmuth said.
The U.S. Open, which hosts
top swimmers internationally, is
conducted in a 50-meter pool that
is considered by Asmuth to be
more difficult for Auburn
swimmers since they are not
accustomed to a long-course pool.
"To be honest, qualifying in a
long-course pool is really a lot
tougher," he said.
Auburn will be hosting meets
against Tulane University and
LSU on Jan. 14 and Jan. 16
respectively. The Tulane meet
will begin at 2:00 and the LSU
meet will begin at 11:00.
"Both meets should be good,"
Asmuth said. "LSU was in the
top 10 last year. I'd have to list
them as one of the favorites to
win the conference."

Seniors give it one last shot
Terrance Howard
By Selena Roberts
Sports Editor
After devoting most of their
lives to endless practices, pouring
sweat, championship wins and
heartbreaking losses, it comes to
an end for t he class of 1988.
Most of them will be t r a d i ng in
their hightops for wing tips as
they enter a world away from the
orange and blue hardcourts of
Joel Eaves Memorial Coliseum.
For one or two, the NBA spot­light
may shine down on raining
money; and publicity, but things
will never be the same.
The class of '88 will leave with
a list of accomplishments worthy
to tell their grandchildren about.
Last year, the Tigers posted an
18-13 record and made it to the
second round of the NCAA
tournament.
In the 1985-86 season, coach
Sonny Smith took t he Tigers to a
22-11 finish and were tagged the
Cinderella team of the NCAA
Tournament. Auburn swept
through t he tourney before losing
to the eventual national cham­pion
Louisville in the "Elite
Eight" round.
And, three years ago, when it
all began for Terrance Howard,
Jeff Moore, Johnny Lynn and
Chris Morris, t he Tigers captured
the SEC Tournament title and
fought to the round of 16 in the
NCAA Tournament.
This year will mark the last
time that Morris will race down
an Auburn court, fake, jump,
twist and then slam one home.
Right now, Morris is concen­trating
on leading the Tigers
down a rough road in the SEC
swing of t h e season. But, he real­izes
there is a life past basketball

which includes his wife and two
sons.
"If I have a future in the NBA,
t h a t ' s great...But, if I don't, it
won't be the end of the world. I
have my own life with my fam­ily,"
Morris said.
For Moore, he would like
nothing better than to erase the
play against Georgia Tech last
month which resulted in a broken
hand. When He returns to the
court in a few weeks, it will be
time to make up for lost ground.
Over the past three years,
Moore has made his mark in the
record books. The Sporting News
rated Moore as the seventh best
center in t he country.
The past three years have also
thrown Moore some curves with
personal problems and now an
injury, but Moore seems to have
put the past to rest.
Moore gives coach Sonny
Smith much of the credit for
bringing him through the rough
times.
"He (Smith) suspended me for
not going to class and he got my
attention. Now I've got my priori­ties
right," Moore said. "I've had
a t r e m e n d o u s c a r e e r here.
Auburn was t he best place I could
have come to."
For Lynn, most of his career at
Auburn has been spent as a
reserve guard. He has always
been an excellent leader on the
court and a solid ball handler.

BTiam sues AU, Bama
By Selena Roberts
Sports Editor
A lawsuit was filed Jan. 8
against Auburn and the Univer­sity
of Alabama by the city of
B i r m i n g h a m , a l l e g i n g the
schools will breach a contract if
the Iron Bowl is moved to Auburn
in 1989 and 1991.
Birmingham claims a contract
was extended in 1980 when Lee
Hayley (Auburn Athletic Direc­tor
at the time) asked Paul "Bear"
Bryant to approve the dates for
t h e annual Auburn-Alabama
game from 1988 through 1991.
Although Hayley never men­tioned
where the games were to
be played, Bryant sent a cover
letter accompanying a contract
which mentioned a "signed copy
of extension of our contract for
games scheduled for 1988, 1989,
1990 and 1991," according to
Birmingham's claim.
The contract itself was an
agreement between Auburn and
Alabama to continue playing the
games at Legion Field.
One of the conditions to keep­ing
the Iron Bowl at Legion Field
was t h a t the city was to renovate
and improve the stadium. In the
suit, Birmingham claims it will
lose the money already spent in
k e e p i n g with the c o n t r a ct
agreement.
If the game is moved every
other year to Auburn, money will
be lost through ticket and conces­sion
sales. The city says it will
also suffer because of the decline
in the amount of visitors to the
city, pulling profits away from
the Birmingham economy.
Can you believe it?

Plainsman Sports Commentary
Lady Tigers
have shot at
national title
Lori
Dann
\ : : Assistant
Sports Editor
Auburn basketball is definitely
in the news.
Coach Sonny Smith's group of
giant-killers has stunned the
nation with back-to-back victo­ries
over Florida and top-ranked
Kentucky.
But Sonny's squad wasn't the
only Auburn team that brought
home a big victory this past week­end.
Coach Joe Ciampi's Lady
Tigers went to Krioxville Satur­day
and came away with a 71-68
victory over the defending
national champion Tennessee
Lady Vols.
In case you're not familiar with
Lady Tiger basketball, I'll give
you a brief recent history. Ciam­pi's
squad, currently the second-ranked
team in the nation, has
made it to the NCAA tournament
five out of the last six years and
last year came within one game
of making it to the Final Four.
The program has sported two
Ail-Americans, Becky Jackson
and Vickie Orr, and a host of All-
SEC players. It is widely recog­nized
as one of the top programs
in the country and is part of the
premier women's basketball con-erence,
the SEC.
Last season ended on a bit-prsweet
note for the SEC regular
ason and tournament cham-
.ons a s they were beaten 77-61 in
the NCAA regional finals by
conference-mate Tennessee in
Knoxville. Prior to the NCAA
tournament Auburn had beaten
the Lady Vols twice, once in
Auburn (75-69) and once on a
neutral floor (102-96) in the SEC
T o u r n a m e n t ' s championship
game in Albany, Ga.
But that was last year.
This year Ciampi said his goal
was to go one step further than
last season, meaning a trip to t he
Final Four in Tacoma, Wash.
If you're a devoted Lady Tiger
follower, mark April 1-3 on you
calender. Auburn will be there.
Five factors will give Auburn
i t s first realistic shot at a
n a t i o n a l title. They are as
follows:
1. The schedule. The Lady Tig­ers,
12-1, have already faced five
teams ranked in the Top 20.
In addition, Auburn's recent
trip to the West Coast for the
Long Beach Dial Classic served a
dual purpose. Not only did it give
the team a chance to compete
against some of t he top teams in
the country, but it also got t he
Lady Tigers used to the time
changes and jet lag t h a t could be
a factor when they travel to
Washington state.
2. The Iowa loss. When Auburn
dropped a 73-69 decision to the
Hawkeyes in the Miami Super
Eight Tournament, it changed
the whole outlook of t he team. "I
think the loss actually benefited
the team," Assistant Coach Carol
Ross said. "It pulled us closer
together and answered some
questions for us. Since then we've
had some of the best practices
I've ever been associated with."
3. More experience and leader­ship.
Of Auburn's five starters,
three, Mae Ola Bolton, Sharon
Stewart and Diann McNeil, are
seniors and two, Ruthie Bolton
and Vickie Orr, are juniors.
"I think all our seniors want to
gp out in a blaze of glory," Ross
said. "They're looking at 1987-88
as their year. They want to be
remembered as the team that
won the national championship
at Auburn.
4. A stronger bench which will
give the Lady Tigers the depth
needed to go the distance in a
rigorous three-and-a-half month
schedule which includes six SEC
contests in 19 days.
"In order for us to compete in as
strong a conference as t he SEC,"
Coach Joe Ciampi said, "we have
to have some quality time put in
by nine players on t he team."
Standouts on the bench thus
far have been freshman point

So, you were just standing in
your driveway over Christmas. I
know because I saw you...I see
everything.
And you h ad one of those offi­cial
NBA basketballs in your
hand. The kind with Larry Bird's
signature personally stamped on
it. Although, my little brother
used to believe Larry took the
time to autograph each one per­sonally.
I took it upon mvself to
ruin his eight-year-old fantasy.
I saw you spot that ole basket­ball
hoop hanging a few feet
away. Hmmm...you looked
around the neighborhood to see if
anyone was watching you. And
then you started your Howard
Cosell and Dick Vitale impersona­tions.
(We'll name you Melvin to pro­tect
your name and to prevent
your embarrassment).
"There's ten seconds left in the
game. The Celtics are down by
two in the NBA championship
game...Melvin takes the ball in.
Melvin avoids the press...fakes
left..."(The crowd yells five..!
four...
"Melvin breaks outside, with
Kareem and Magic all in his
face." (three...two...) "The crowd
is going wild!"
"Melvin breaks to the outside
lofting up a fade away jumper
through the arms of Kareem."
(...one...buzzzzz)
Whappp! Reality hit Melvin in
the face as he realized his fade
away jumper had faded right
over the goal and into the side of
his neighbor's house.
Melvin went over and picked
up the ball, brushing away a
smudge of paint from its exterior.
Melvin's neighbor, Mr. Bigley,
had spent most of the summer
painting that house. Bigley was
awful proud of t h a t lemon yellow
siding.
Melvin looked at the sizeable,
spot in the paint and hoped n o .
one saw him launch his jumper*
into the house. j
So, Melvin tried the shot again j
and again...until he was the hero •
of the NBA championship. •
I don't mean to humiliate Mel-"
vin, because everyone has had' .
that last second shot dream t o '
win the big one.
In the confines of your drive: -
way, it's easy. Because, like Mel­vin,
you can shoot the ball at t h e -
buzzer as many times as you-.,
want.

It's Saturday afternoon, and
you're nearly broke. This week's
free movie is Bambi. You need
some serious budget-priced enter­tainment
for you and your signif­icant
other. Now, what can you
get for two dollars in Auburn?
Well, let's see: two Miller Lites
at Harry's or two Big Macs or a
large chocolate malt from the
FJush or nearly two gallons of
gas or...Or two tickets to see the
fastest show in town — Auburn
basketball.
'Jt seems that most of our stu­dents
think winter quarter is the
time between the end of football
season and before the A-Day
game. And while no one doubts
trjat Coach Dye has a superior
football program established on
the Plains, people seem to forget
tKat Sonny Smith's cagers have
established a reputation that
a{n't so shabby either.
*;The Tigers have participated in
four consecutive NCAA Tour­naments
and have even been as
f& as the "Elite 8" in tourney
pfcy. During that same time
frame, they have won an SEC
championship and sent two of
tie NBA'S premier players, Char­les
Barkley and Chuck Person, to
ttfe pros.
(£\ey, you remember how you
complained during football sea­son
about how slow the game
w£s? You remember how your
grrlfriend complained? Both of
y'all should be satisfied with
Tigerball.
"cThe game is fast paced with
Tjerrance Howard and Company
ok the floor running and gunning
like fire ants on amphetamines.
And even when we have a
tipieout, TV or otherwise, the
Tvger Pause are ready to enter­tain,
although you may want to
aeyid your girlfriend to get a Coke
air this noint.
Excitement? Hey, have you
ever watched Chris Morris grab a
rebound and run the break? The
climax goes something like this:
Morris leaves the ground at the
free-throw line, turns 180 degrees
in the air and WHOOM! Two
points and a basketball goal in
shambles.
Come on folks; I know college
students are poor. I am a college
student, and I have lived on pea­nut
butter and jelly sandwiches
for as much as six months at a
time. Just like you, I've tried to
explain to Alabama Power that
they shouldn't cut off my power
just because my bill hasn't been
paid since the spring of 1986. But
how often have you, honest to
God, not had one single dollar in
your pocket or checking account?
I'll tell you what — if you are
that poor, if you don't have one
single dollar to go to an Auburn
basketball game, call me at the
Plainsman office (826-4130), and
I will buy you a ticket to watch
Sonny's high flying Tigers play
one evening. We'll arrange
repayment terms later. Just
watch the game and tell me if you
think it's worth a dollar.
Now Billy Joe Bob ("Just call
me Bubba") Portis may tell you,
"Well, Bear Bryant never
coached basketball, so it ain't
gonna' be big in Alabama." Yeah
Bubba, but Bear Bryant is gone
and so is George Wallace.
Besides, Alabama, The Univer­sity
of Alabama, which boasts
6.G00 fewer students than we do,
consistently averages larger'
crowds
