Trustees consider across-the-board pay raises
SALARY: Money for three
percent increase may come from
tuition hike and colleges' funds

University employees have received no
cost-of-living raises in three years, but
there may be a light at the end of the tun­nel.
The Board of Trustees will discuss a
proposed 3 percent salary increase for
New center

[old services

I • A plan to consolidate on-campus
student services, recently
approved by President William V.
I, Muse, could make it easier for stu­dents
to find solutions to problems
they encounter while at Auburn.
The plan, developed by the
office of student life, will combine
the Academic Support Service,
Career Development, Freshman
'Experience, Personal Assessment
Counseling Service and Programs
for Underrepresented Students
|.into one organization.
"We're bringing together under
one umbrella a number of services
focused on student retention,"
Grant Davis,
director of stu­dent
life, said.
Davis said
the plan to
bring the ser­vices
together
has been
approved but
must go before
the Board of
Trustees before
it can be called
a center.
While these
services will be
g r o u p e d
together in
name only for
now, Davis said
he hopes to
bring them into
one central
location in the
future.
Davis said
the new plan
will not mean
extra expense
for the
I University because the programs
I are already in existence. However,
I he said some of the money previ­ously
allocated to Drake Student
I Health Center may be redirected to
I augment the services after Drake is
I outsourced.
"We're very optimistic we can
Iprovide more efficient, improved
Iservices for students," Davis said.
PACS, which was under Drake,
Iwill not be outsourced with the
Irest of the health center.
"It fits better within the Student
success Center because it offers
counseling, not medical services,"
)avis said.
The idea to consolidate these ser­vices
came up during fall 1995.
Davis said Dr. Bettye Burkhalter,
interim vice president for student
affairs, created a student life team
Ito develop the idea.
University employees at its Aug. 29 meet­ing.
If passed, the raise would go into effect
Oct. 1, Provost Paul Parks told the
University Senate Tuesday.
One third of the money for the raises
would come from the colleges. The other
two thirds would come from new money
brought in by the tuition increase which
goes into effect this fall.
Parks also said some colleges may be
able to request equity pay raises.
"To the extent that they can find
resources, they can take care of equity
issues," he said.
Equity issues include situations where,
for one reason or another, an associate
professor is not paid as much as assistant
professors, he said.
"If we don't deal with it now, there are
still going to be equity issues next year, so
we are going to try and deal with as many
this year as we can," he said.
Parks did not want to discuss which
colleges would be able to afford to take
care of equity problems.
Some University Senate members
expressed concern that some colleges
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second
in a three-part series about faculty morale.
would fix problems other colleges simply
couldn't afford to tackle.
University Senate Chairperson John
Grover has mixed feelings about the plan.
He said it is obviously a step in the right
direction to improve faculty morale, but
since the funds are being taken partially
out of their departments, they will still
suffer low morale.
"The raised money is at least partly
being generated from deferred mainte­nance
and unfilled positions," he said.
Because it has been three years since
employees have seen a raise, 3 percent
"keeps up only with one of those year's
inflation," he said.
He called the proposal a Band Aid®,
and said much more was needed to take
care of the existing salary problem.
Parks said the funds used for the raises
need to come from permanent funds
instead of temporary ones.
The 3 percent raise would go to employ­ees
"across the board," he said.
Grover said the board is prepared to put
the raise into effect as soon possible.
"We're very
optimistic
[we can pro­vide
more

• LIZZ FULLERTON
Staff Writer
A five-week archeological dig
conducted by Auburn students
and faculty in Wilcox County
turned up human artifacts from
southwestern Alabama Indian
tribes.
John Cottier, associate profes­sor
of anthropology, and Craig
Sheldon, from Auburn
University in Montgomery, led
the dig along with 11 Auburn
anthropology students.
"I worked 30 years ago at this
site for the National Park
Service as a University of
Alabama graduate student,"
Cottier said.
Many pottery shards, both
plain and engraved with sym­bols
and designs, shells, projec­tile
points and arrowheads,
were found at the site.
Also found was a pipe, a shell
bead and the remains of a dog
that had been buried.
"Many of the artifacts found
were in a trash pit that the
Indians had used," Cottier said.
The group had gone to Wilcox
County specifically to find evi­dence
of the day to day lives of
the people who lived there, John
Harmon, a field research techni­cian
with the sociology depart­ment,
said.
It was expected that most of
the finds would be relics dating
back to the Mississippian
Period, from 800 to 1500 A.D.,
Harmon said.
However, few of the artifacts
recovered were from that peri­od,
Cottier said. Most of the
finds were much older, dating
back to the Woodland Period,
from 1000 B.C. to 800 A.D.
Everything found at the site
will remain in the University's
anthropology department
unless an existing Indian tribe in
the Southeast can prove lineage
from the original settlers of the
area, Harmon said. If that hap­pens,
all artifacts will be
returned to them.
During past digs at the site,
ceramic pottery, other artifacts
and several human burial sites
were found, Cottier said.
No grave sites were found
during this year's expedition.
To prepare the site, students
spent two days this summer
clearing the area of all vegeta­tion,
including prickly pears
and grass, Joseph Porteous,

Investigators from the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms have made no progress
in the Jan. 1 package bombing
incident in Opelika.
The bomb exploded in the
hands of the Rev. Mike
Schnatterly, rector at the
Emmanual Episcopal Church.
Schnatterly picked up a box,
which was on top of his Ford
Mustang, a Jan. 11 Plainsman
article reported. The bomb
inside immediately blew up.
Schnatterly, who is soon mov­ing
to Florida, has both physi­cally
and mentally recovered
from the attack, he'said'.
"My move to Florida was not
related to the bomb attack. It
was planned before the explo­sion
happened," he said.
Schnatterly suffered burns,
abrasions, a cut tendon in his
right hand and a broken right
wrist, according to the
Plainsman report.
"I definitely feel better than I
did six months ago. It was a
traumatic event. There still
aren't many answers. I have
fully recovered from all my
injuries, and there is no perma­nent
damage," he said.
But the bomb attack has
changed Schnatterly's outlook
on things. "I'm certainly more
careful now than I was before,"
Schnatterly said.
James Cavanaugh, ATF spe­cial
agent, said, "We still have
an ongoing active investigation.
We have investigated more than
400 leads, using agents all over
the country. Yet we have not

been able to determine the
motive of the attack, or who it
was intended for."
"We have been unable to
establish any suspects at this
time. We thought the bomb may
have been intended for a retired
ATF agent who lived across the
street from Schnatterly. But the
agent retired in 1976 and the
only cases he worked were
moonshine cases," he said.
According to the Plainsman
article, an anti-government and
anti-ATF document was found
in the bomb package. The last
phrase of the document reads
"At last the time has come for
Alabama to unite against the
ATF conspiracy."
Cavanaugh said the bomb
may have been intended to kill
Schnatterly. He said the docu­ment
may have been included to
mislead investigators, the

The Macon County Sheriff's
Office and the Opelika Alcohol
Beverage Control Board confiscat­ed
240 marijuana plants in a
Tuskegee drug raid in Thursday
morning.
The plants were valued at
$2,000 each, said Sgt. Robert
Chambers of the Opelika Office of
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
Enforcement Division.
The total value was approxi­mately
$500,000, Macon County
Sheriff's Investigator Mike
Knowles said.

The residence which was raided
was "within the city limits of
Tuskegee," Knowles said.
The plants were "in the back­yard
of a residence in two green­houses,
and some were on the out­side,"
Chambers said.
They were "anywhere from one
foot in height to six feet in height,"
Knowles said.
Many of the plants were ready
to be processed and sold, he said.
At the time of the raid they were
still growing and none had been
processed, Chambers said.
The Opelika ABC Board was
brought into the raid after it was
notified about the situation by the

Knowles said the Sheriff's
Office would not comment on
how it became aware of the plants.
There were several juveniles in
the residence when the raid
occurred, Knowles said.
The police said no arrests have
been made in the case.
However, there is a suspect and
"an arrest is forthcoming,"
Knowles said.
The information will be pre­sented
Sept. 3 to the Macon

The police will not release the

Dole chooses Kemp as vice-presidential running mate, vows to lower taxes
Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole chose long-time rival Jack Kemp as his running mate this
weekend. Dole made the long-awaited announcement in his hometown of Russell, Kan., Aug. 10, before
a crowd of 2,000 people.
The 61-year-old Kemp is a former New York congressman and one-time quarterback of the Buffalo Bills.
Kemp and Dole have differing opinions on several issues including affirmative action, immigration, wel­fare
and the deficit.
Kemp is known as the champion of supply-side economic theory, which states lower tax rates will
increase economic production and thus increase overall government revenue, and was the economic pol­icy
followed by Ronald Reagan. Dole appears to have embraced Kemp's economic ideals by proposing a
15 percent across-the-board tax cut in his economic plan.

Auburn man stabs girlfriend to death, shoots self in front of three others
Aug. 6 at 4:15 a.m., Mark Howard, 30, killed the mother of his child, Tracy Coleman, 23. Howard
stabbed Coleman in the upper chest with a kitchen knife, an Auburn Police Department spokesperson
said.
Howard died Aug. 6 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. Howard's body was
sent to the state Department of Forensic Science in Montgomery for investigation. Coleman was taken to
East Alabama Medical Center after the incident, police said. Three other family members were in the trail­er
at the time the crime was committed, authorities said. At press time, no other information had been
released.
Unabomber may have imitated turn-ofthe-century Joseph Conrad novel
A1907 Joseph Conrad novel about a mad professor who shuns academia and builds a bomb may have
inspired Unabomber suspect Ted Kaczynski, a former math professor indicted in four Unabomber
attacks. According to federal authorities and his family, Kaczynski read Conrad's "The Secret Agent"
almost a dozen times.
Kaczynski's secluded, primitive home bore striking similarities to the "hermitage" of Conrad's protag­onist.
The protagonist had a hatred for science, and Kaczynski targeted science and technology experts.
Kaczynski allegedly killed three and injured 23 others.
FBI experts noticed these similarities before Kaczynski's arrest. The FBI sent out copies of Conrad's
book to top scholars in an attempt to find the Unabomber. Kaczynski may have used the alias "Conrad"
or "Konrad" while staying in Sacremento hotels.

University of Michigan students run naked through streets in annual race
Cold weather didn't deter hundreds of studerfts from running'In the annual Naked Mile through the
University of Michigan campus orrthe-last day of classes, ''ft's definitely isomiJtiimg you have to do your
senior year," said UM senior and runner Drew Dullen. This year's race began at 11:15 p.m. with the crew
team leading the way. The runners started at the intersection of South University and Washtenaw streets
and ended at the Cube in Regents' Plaza.
On-duty Ann Arbor Police Lieutenant Don Leach said many people do not realize the danger of the
race. "There are a lot of people here that have been drinking, and the traffic in the street is dangerous for
the crowds of people," Leach said.
Running naked in the streets is illegal, and violators are subject to 90 days in prison or a $500 fine.
Leach said police officers are less worried about indecent exposure and more concerned about safety
during the race.
"There's not much we can do about this. We just don't want people hit by cars," Leach said. As a pre­cautionary
measure, both the University's Department of Public Safety and the Ann Arbor police provid­ed
extra supervision of the area surrounding the runners' path.

dig, said.
The students then worked with
shovels, small brushes and
troughs, Porteous said.
The students lived on the site for
five weeks in rented houses,
Cottier said.
Cottier lived in a tent. He said,
"It's not the easiest thing to do, but
you can make yourself comfort­able.
There were only four nights
that I didn't sweat, and one of
those I had chills and a fever."
"We got bitten by insects, rained
on and stuck by cactus. It was hot
as hell," Cottier said. "It makes
you realize it is or isn't for you."
"I've never had so much fun
bung covered from head to toe
with dirt and water," Tara Wilson,
04ANT, said.
The students agreed that it was
extremely hot and dirty, but
served as a useful experience in
archaeology.
The dig, a joint program
between Auburn University and
the Alabama Museum of Natural
History in Tuscaloosa, ended July
15.
Next year's expedition will be in
the Tallapoosa River Valley to
study a Mississippian Period set­tlement,
Cottier said.
"I think I speak for everyone
when I say that the skills we
learned this summer will prove to
be invaluable to us all as we pur­sue
a lifetime of archaeological
discovery," Joe Yorkie, 02ANT,
said.
Safe sex extends health, fertility
Despite a wide variety of excel­lent
birth control methods, myths
regarding contraception seem to
abound.
Those most susceptible to
believe in rumor and old wives'
tales tend to be the young and
naive. Unfortunately, when many
of these same individuals become
sexually active, they tend to con­ceive
rather easily.
Typically 85 out of 100 couples
will conceive within 12 months if
no form of contraception is
implemented. According to the
Allen Guttenmocker Institute, the
average sexually active teenage
couple who uses nothing to pre­vent
pregnancy conceives within
the first six months of initiating
sexual intercourse.
Fertility peaks for females
between the ages of 16 and 25. It
is cyclic. A woman can conceive
for a limited time only when she
ovulates. Ovulation typically lasts
36 to 48 hours each month for
each month in which she is not
already pregnant during the
course of her reproductive life.
Female fertility declines increas­ingly
from the mid 30s until
menopause is completed, com­monly
around the age 52, at
which point the female's repro­ductive
organs cease their ovula­tory
function.
On the other hand, male fertili­ty
seems to be continuous from
the age of spermarche (age of first
ejaculate containing sperm, typi­cally
13 years of age) until death
as long as his reproductive organs
remain functional and free from
disease.
To maintain fertility and pre­vent
disease, effective birth con­trol
measures should be imple­mented
and safer sex practiced,
not just some times, but whenev­er
genital contact is made. Safer
sex and contraception are NOT
synonymous.
While birth control pills, the
depo-provera shot and contracep­tive
implants are among the most
effective means of birth control,
they do nothing for sexually
transmitted disease (STD). Latex
condoms and additional spermi­cide
should be used even if a hor­monal
method such as "the pill"
is used for contraception.
One of the more humorous
birth control myths in circulation
deals with the common soft
drink, Mountain Dew. According
to a reliable source, the local
media in Birmingham perpetuat­ed
the tale by stating the yellow
dye used in the beverage had
been found to shrink the ovaries
in females and the testes in males.
Supposedly, fertility decreased for
both sexes. This rumor is false.

Art auction draws support for Lee County AIDS Outreach
I SALLIE OWEN
| Assistant Copy Editor
The fourth annual Artists
I Against AIDS Art Auction drew
200 people to the Quality Inn
Monday night to support the Lee
County AIDS Outreach, organizer
| Linda Lee Cox said.
All 103 art pieces on auction
I were sold, raising more than
$6,000 to help local AIDS patients,
I Cox said.
"There were three things left
over at the end, and I bought them
myself," Cox said.
Emily Myers, LCAO's president
of the board, said, "This is the
biggest fundraiser of the year."
The art auction is different from
other fundraisers because it is
organized completely by an out­side
agency, Myers said.
Cox and her husband own Hair
It Is on Ross Street, and they orga­nize
the event, she said.
"It's a very nice evening," said
Roger Myrick, LCAO board mem­ber
and assistant professor of com­munication,
said.
The event began at 6 p.m. with a
silent auction, and a live auction
followed at 7 p.m
There was a cash bar, hors
d'oeuvres donated by local restau­rants
and live entertainment pro­vided
by local musicians. Door
prizes were awarded throughout
the evening.
Margaret Melzer, a licensed auc­tioneer,
ran the live auction.
"Bid hard, bid fast and bid
first," Melzer said. "Don't be
sorry tomorrow for what you did­n't
do tonight."
All artwork on the auction block
was donated, Cox said.
There were a variety of pieces
including watercolors, oils,
stained glass, photography and
pen and ink.
Some pieces were contributed
by young artists.
One artist was so young his age
was expressed in months instead
of years.
The event drew a diverse group
of people.
"The face of this crowd is
entirely different from last year,"
Carla Briggs, executive director of
LCAO, said.
It's not just the friends of LCAO
members anymore, she said.
This event "has just helped us
tremendously. It means that we
can meet all our expenses," she
said.
LCAO provides direct services
to HIV-positive patients in a five-county
area that includes Lee,
Macon, Chambers, Russell and
Tallapoosa counties, Briggs said.
Medication is our biggest
expense, she said.
One popular regimen of medi­cine
doctors recommend costs
$1,200 each month, Briggs said.
JONATHAN W. LARTIGUE/Photo Editor
Patrons participate in the silent auction held to benefit Lee County AIDS Outreach Monday night. The auction raised more than $6,000.
Mark Thornton, a member of
the LCAO planning committee,
said, "I'm running for U.S. Senate
and I should be out campaigning,
but this is more fun."
Thornton has worked with the
auction every year.
"It has become very well orga­nized
with lots of volunteer sup­port,"
he said.
"It's good to see so much com­munity
support," Thornton said.
The community supported
Artists Against AIDS by donating
time, art, food, entertainment and
a site, Cox said.
The only cost was printing the
T-shirts, which is included in the
price of the shirts, she said.
"I'd just like to thank everyone
who contributed," Cox said.
Since there was no overhead, all
the money goes to LCAO, she
said.
Cox said she adopted the AIDS
cause because "it affected our
industry early on so bad."
She started with LCAO by vol­unteering
to help with a yard sale
fundraiser, she said.
LCAO provides financial and
emotional support, transportation,
medication and other services to
AIDS patients in the area, Briggs
said.
The organization presently
serves 46 clients, she said.
"The longer people are living
with HIV, the greater the need for
LCAO," Briggs said.
Dutch paralympic team trains at University athletic facilities
• BECKY HANSON
Assistant Sports Editor
You might have thought the Olympics
were over, but they aren't.
The Paralympics is a nine-day competi­tion
in Atlanta for athletes with physical,
visual or mental impairments.
Starting Aug. 15 more than 3,500 ath­letes
from more than 100 nations will
compete in theParalympics.
The 1996 Games will be roughly one-third
the size of the'Olympics.
Featuring 17 sports, it will be the sec­ond-
largest sporting event in the world in
1996, bigger than the World Series or
Super Bowl.
The philosophy guiding the Paralympic
movement is to give these world-class
athletes opportunities and experiences
equivalent to those afforded non-disabled
athletes.
The first Paralympic Games were held
in Rome in 1960 and have been held every
Olympic year since, usually in the city or
country hosting the Olympic Games.
More than 12,000 volunteers will help
make the 1996 Paralympic Games a suc­cess.
Fortunately for Auburn, the Dutch
Paralympic team has been training at the
University's facilities.
The swim team trained at the James E.
Martin Aquatics Center and the tennis
team worked out at the Auburn
Recreational Tennis Courts.
The Netherlands has more than 130 ath­letes
competing in the Paralympics.
"We are here to prepare," physical ther­apist
Chris Hassall said. "We put in a lot
of time, money and effort so mat we can
deliver the top presentation."
Hassall said quite a few swimmers are
competing in their second Paralympics,
some even their third.
The team members range from 15 to 40
years old.
"The 40-year-olds are an exception, but
the average age is 26," Hassall said.
The Dutch team feels it has a good shot
at this year's Games. "We've got a few
medal chances in swimming and should
get one or two golds," Hassall said.
"It really doesn't make that much of a
deal that the Olympics are right before,"
Hassall said. "The people who are going
to come will attend regardless."
The official mascot for the 1996
Paralympics is a phoenix named BLAZE.;
BLAZE represents triumph, strength,
inclusion and performance. It suggests
action and determination.
"The phoenix, a mystical bird, symbol­izes
the Paralympic athletes' ability to
overcome adversity to rise to greatness,"
designer and illustrator Trevor Irvin said.
"We think BLAZE is a strong, meaning­ful
name for our mascot," said Andy
Fleming, Atlanta Paralympic Organizing
Committee President. "It's a name which
denotes all the good things about the

"We stress and ask (the cooks) to

"You can easily get a healthy

how to order," Jess Pittman, Drake
health educator, said.
"If you order fried chicken,
french fries and pick up a piece of
cheesecake, it's probably not the
most healthy for you," Call said.
"Planning a healthy meal takes
time, and (students) are pressed
for time," Pittman said.
"I think in all of our places we
offer a variety of food, and in that
variety there are healthy items you
can choose from," Call said.
"Yeah, but how healthy are their
healthy foods?" Leigh Blevins,
04PB, said.
"Their vegetables look like

Choosing is
the problem,
said Barbara
Struempler, an
associate profes­sor
of nutrition
and food sci­ences
at Auburn
and a nutrition­ist
with the
Alabama Cooperative Extension
service.
A healthy diet revolves around
wiser choices, Struempler said.
With the recent interest in
health, an increase in eating disor­ders
follows.
"Over 10 percent of (Auburn's)
population has an eating disorder
of some sort," Pittman said.
"We've got more really heavy
students than we did in years gone
by, and we've got more really thin
students," she said. "People can't
reach a happy medium.
"There's really no such thing as
bad food. It's the whole combina­tion
of what you're eating that
makes it good or bad," Pittman
said.
Drake student health surveys
conducted in 1992 and 1995 shows
eating disorders are on the rise.
"We're worried about it," Pittman
said.

habits, weight and body size.
Another survey will be taken
the first day of classes this fall,
Pittman said.
"People are concerned about
how they look," Blevins said.
"And it's just hard to eat a healthy
diet when you have to eat at (the
cafeterias)," she said.
You can get a healthy meal at
Auburn, Pittman said.
"You need moderation and vari­ety,"
she said.
Food services is open to sugges­tions,
Call said. "We are always
looking for ways to improve.
"The students don't have to eat
with us, so we are always looking
for ways to attract them.
"If there's something the stu­dents
want, and it's feasible to
bring it in, then we'll bring it in,"
Call said.
"We are never unreceptive to a
request," Call said.
Because of a recent request they
are now offering vegetarian burg­ers,
he said. Reasonable special
requests are also accepted.
"If someone wants something
specific, all they've got to do is ask
someone in the line," Call said.

Ydel? Why not Bingham?
^L # » / hen a whopping 23 percent
• f •f or so of the student body
» » came out to vote this spring
we voted for Tom Bingham to be our
Student Government Association president.
The students elected him because he said
he wanted to "strengthen the voice of the
student body."
One of the ways he proposed to do this
was by voicing student concerns to the "fac­ulty,
staff, administration and Board of
Trustees."
To their credit, most governing bodies on
campus have a place for Bingham on their
panels.
Outside the SGA, he has a seat on the
University Senate, the Communications
Board and is welcome to speak at Trustee
meetings.
While Bingham has been attending the
Trustee meetings regularly, his attendance as
student representative at some other meet­ings
has been sporadic.
So far, Bingham has proven to be a big fan
of sending a proxy to take his place at
University Senate and Communications
Board meetings.
This is certainly better than nothing, but
more often than not, his proxy has been
SGA Treasurer Bayless Ydel. >
Ydel hasn't uttered a sound at any of
these meetings.
While his intentions are probably good,
the student body didn't elect Ydel to repre­sent
us in this way.
Bingham definitely needs to be at as many
of the meetings as possible. Sometimes
nothing interesting happens, but it is impor­tant
for him to be Jtheie ip person anyway to.
understand what is going on and develop
relationships with the other members of
these groups.
The Plainsman would like to remind
Bingham of his campaign platform and
encourage him to attend every conceivable
meeting from now on.
We realize he is busy. But if he can't show
up for meetings, he needs to send a proxy
who will show up on time, stay the whole
meeting, ask questions and generally repre­sent
the students.
He also needs to inform the proxy of what
has been going on in that organization so
that person won't be in the dark when he or
she gets there.
SGA Vice President Laura Palmer would
be an excellent choice for someone to send if
Bingham is taken away in an emergency.
She has already proven she can ask and
answer, questions and she is willing to
express the student's opinions.
Professors accept funds from boosters
The National Collegiate
Administrator's Association (or
the NCAA) dealt the University
another crippling blow this week
when it put Auburn on a two-year
academic probation for rules
violations.
All of Auburn's professors
have been put on academic sus­pension
pending further investi­gation
and face the death penalty.
NCAA spokesperson Wayne
Meany said, "Our sources led us
to believe that some professors
were being given illegal funds
and trips to shoe stores by overly
enthusiastic Auburn boosters.
"We investigated, and we now
know a handful of professors
were given special deals on mini-vans,
which is in direct violation
of NCAA rules," he said.
Meany said he realizes Auburn
professors are not being paid by
the school, and that it is hard to
make ends meet, but "rules are
rules."
"We can't just have universities
paying their teachers," he said.
"What is this world coming to?"
CHRIS WILKERSON
Auburn spokesperson
Bartholemew Candycoat said,
"Auburn boosters have always
been big supporters of academia.
This time they just went too far.
"I think they have good inten­tions.
They just need to channel
their funds into more appropriate
places like the athletic program,"
he said.
Suspensions always bring up
the topic of whether we should
start paying our teachers. They
work hard and bring lots of
money into the local economy, so
many think they should be paid
salaries or at least given an
opportunity to take a paying job
when they aren't teaching.
Candycoat said the University
is in the process of appealing the
decision on the grounds the rule
simply isn't fair.
Auburn professor Edwina
Nodinoff said, "So some rich
alumni took some assistant pro­fessors
out to dinner one night,
big deal. It's not like other big
universities don't do it.
"Not paying the professors is
simply slavery, that's it. How can
we expect to bring in the big
name talent if we can't even offer
them shopping trips at P&S
School Supply?"
Meany said the sanctions
levied against the University are
light now, "But if we catch
Auburn paying its employees
again, we're going to shut the
place down."
The sanctions are as follows:
•All parking will be on a first
come-first serve basis.
•Each department will lose
two professors, so all classes will
be full.
•All classes will be held in the
smallest room available so at
least half of the students will be
standing.
•Professors will have to drop
all standing students from the
class.
•Each day during the quarter,
professors must remove one chair
from each classroom and drop
whichever student didn't get a
seat (this can be done to music).
•All class assignments will be
due on the last day of class which
should give professors less than
24 hours to grade thousands of
papers.
•Absolutely no instructors will
be allowed to go on Jeopardy
during "Professor Week."
Meany said, "I know these
sanctions are rough, but maybe
this'll teach 'em not to do it
again."
Candycoat said, "This will hurt
us for a while, but it will give us
a chance to rebuild. Who knows?
Maybe we'll get a new president
and go undefeated next year."

The Auburn Plainsman
Dole shows 'there's nothing new under the sun'
They say history repeats itself,
that everything comes back if
you give it long enough. First it
was bell bottoms, now this.
A few weeks ago it was the
Olympics. Now this is the week
of the Republican National
Convention, otherwise known as
Patriotism for no Good Reason:
The Sequel.
First we invite the nations of
the world to Atlanta. For peace?
For love? For unity? Or was it
just to get the chance to stomp on
them in athletic competition with
athletes who make millions of
dollars every year in endorse­ments
and pro contracts?
Now the WASP party is having
its convention in San Diego. Is it
strange coincidence or a case for
the X-Files that the Padres are
leading their division this year? I
guess everything comes full circle
if you give it enough time.
It must be so. Who among you
didn't flash back to 1980 when
MATTHEW WILLETT
you first heard of Bob Dole's eco­nomic
plan for the nation if the
Dirty Tricks Committee, The
Plumbers and the Committee to
Re-elect the President managed
to fix enough ballots to get him
into the Oval Office?
The first time I heard supply-side
economics, it made me
smile. I was about 10 years old.
"That kindly old man on the tele­vision
is smart," I thought. "The
Gipper will save us all; he's
much too nice to be influenced
by Wall Street, multi-national cor­porations
and special interests," I
said to myself.
I guess I wasn't the only one to
believe since Ron got elected
again in 1984.1 was 12; what's
your excuse?
Now Bob's repackaged
"voodoo economics" for a new
generation of voters. What we're
all painfully learning this time
around, though, is what Bob Dole
refers to as "lifting up America"
really means lifting up big busi­ness
again.
How does Bob expect us to
believe he's going to cut taxes
and balance the budget? Will this
kindly old man on television cut
all our taxes and not cut big busi-ness's
taxes while he's at it like
the kindly old Republican before
him? Somehow I think not.
Don't the Republicans still owe
a few payments on Nixon's 1972
slush fund?
So is it just the irony of sched­uling
that this week, under the
red white and blue bunting of
patriotic decorations, Bob and his
boys try to stomp this one on us
like the Dream Team took it to
the Argentinians?
The evidence points in other
directions. Ross Perot, that sleepy
rich white guy from Texas who
hibernates in non-election years,
has risen again.
This time he's cashing in on the
wave of patriotism-for-no-partic-ular-
reason that's sweeping the
nation with not one, but two con­ventions.
The second, which will
announce the candidate of the
Rosspublican party this time
around, will take place in Valley
Forge, Pa., next week.
History does repeat itself.
Someone should tell Ross not to
make reservations there for
November.

Parents show
character,
teach voluble
lesson
I've always been told an educa­tion
is the most important thing.
But I have learned this may not
be so.
Through an education you can
get a job, become engulfed with
great knowledge and become the
success you always wanted to be,
but are those the most important
things in life?
To achieve all of the great things
in your life you must have will,
you must have determination
and, most importantly, you must
have help.
As I grew up in my small home­town,
I found I was not always
blessed with the great luxuries a
larger school could have provid­ed.
It was not always an option for
me to have access to computers,
to use the newest textbooks or to
receive the best help — not that
what I did receive wasn't benefi­cial.
As I traveled from crayons to
algebra to Shakespeare, the great­est
thing I found was not some
great equation or some great work
of literature, but some great peo­ple.
Unlike most people, I could not
get the help I needed with my
algebra or my reading lessons at
home.
It wasn't that my parents didn't
want to help me, but they could­n't
help me. ,
Both my parents grew up dur­ing
a time when education was
second to farming, which was J
essential to survival. j
My father went through the ;
third grade, and my mother the
fifth.
Neither of my parents can read.
Neither one of them can do higher j
math. Neither one could help me.
But that is not to say I wasn't
helped.
My parents did everything they
could to ensure I received my
education. That was the gift they
gave me, to make sure my life ,
was better than theirs.
As my elementary school days
became middle school days which
then high school days, I was taken
from household to household,
friend to friend in hopes of find­ing
solutions to homework or
other school problems.
My parents worked hard every
day at a local factory, slaving
away to provide me with a college
education.
They realized I would be disad­vantaged
if I followed in their
footsteps.
But now, as I see how they grew
along with me, I question more
whether I would have an advan­tage
if they were educated.
I know without an education
there is no hope to succeed, but I
have learned more from them
about what an education is than
any classroom could teach me.
My mother is now learning to
read. That is will.
My father drove me from place
to place to make sure I would get
all the help I could. That is deter­mination.
They were both there for me
always. That is help.
Am I at a disadvantage because
my parents were?
The way I see things, I've had
an advantage.
They have shown me the path
to true success in life is a combi­nation
of both education and
character, and thanks to them I
now have both.

ON THE CONCOURSE
What do you think about the decrease in recreational activities available to students during the summer?
Photos and interviews by Scott Butler, assistant photo editor
DT TOMAS
senior, finance
"I think it sucks, but it makes
sense when the least number of
« students are in town to cut excess
spending."
KENDALL REID
sophomore, pre-aviation management
"I understand during the sum­mer
because (the University) is
short of money."
MELISSA BOULER
junior, communication disorders
"They have to pay the students
that work in recreational services,
so I understand the cuts when
tuition is down."
DOROTHY SUTTON
freshman, pre-pharmacy
"Students work more during the
summer. They should be open longer
so that more students could use the
facilities."
KENDRA MORRIS
junior, elementary education
"They should be open longer
because there is nothing to do dur­ing
the summer. If you go over to
the Student Act building it should
be open. Thaf s where our money
is going."
Local scene needs
support, not slander
This Saturday,
an unprecedented
A event (for this
town) will take
place 700 feet
north of the
Auburn city limits
— the opening of
OUR new
• amphitheater, The
Hogpen.
Now, I realize it is not becom-
, ing of humans to beg, but I will
briefly swallow my pride and
beg/urge/implore the students
and faculty of this University and
people of this town to take part in
supporting this endeavor.
For years, I have heard people
gripe and complain about the
deplorable condition of our music
scene, especially in comparison to
.other college towns.
Until now, the limited number
of venues and the closed minds of
the people in charge of them has
hindered any progress in our
music scene.
Mainstream and hippie music
have run amok in this town cour­tesy
of factions that will remain
unnamed to avoid controversy.
Last time I checked, college
music was in a class all its own,
yet our college town chooses to
bring in such acts as Hootie and
the Blowfish, Gin Blossoms and
the current reigning king of all
sell-outs, Blues Traveler.
Here is the million dollar ques­tion,
folks. What band or artist
can we actually call our own?
Jimmy Buffett didn't stay here
long enough to call Auburn his
stomping ground, and it was
ecently brought to my attention
that Man or Astroman? is now
officially from Athens, Ga.
Carl Ratliff, a promoter for The
Hogpen, made a monumental
statement to me Sunday after­noon.
"People in Auburn need to
learn to support
the music scene,"
he said.
What a novel
concept. Why
don't we try to do
something about a
problem we have
ELIOTT MCLAUGHLIN instefdofcon-stantly
moaning
and groaning
Writer conveys Kemp's credentials
about it.
This is reminiscent of the park­ing
problem on campus.
Everybody loves to whine
about the parking, but when a
forum was held to discuss the
problem less than 1/450 of the
student body showed up to
express its qualms.
I do not want this to happen
with The Hogpen. I have spoken
with the promoters and have
been assured that this is going to
be a balanced venue. Different
shows will be put on to cater to
almost every imaginable music
lover's tastes.
Naturally, this is not going to
be the caliber of the Hollywood
Palladium, nor will the promoters
be booking the Beastie Boys or
Pearl Jam in the near future.
But they may soon enough.
Whether this venue is a success
will depend on the response of
the people. If we can prove that
we can support our own musi­cians,
bigger and better bands
will want to come perform for us.
Would you want to vacation in
a country where they are killing
their people? Well, I'm sure
bands aren't too enthusiastic
about visiting towns that are
killing their musicians.
It's up to you the students, fac­ulty
and townspeople of Auburn.
The fate of The Hogpen is resting
on your shoulders.
Elliott C. McLaughlin is the Scene
Editor at The Auburn Plainsman
Editor, The Plainsman:
The Republican National Convention is in full
swing, and it's time to get down to business. One of
the major occurrences this week was the Bob Dole
announcement of former Congressman Jack Kemp to
be the Republican candidate for vice president. In
terms of winning this race, second only to Gen. Colin
Powell, I don't think Dole could have chosen a better
man for the job.
To those of you who may not know who Kemp is,
I want to give you a brief summary of who he is and
how he can help the Republican ticket.
Kemp played professional football for both the San
Diego Chargers and the Buffalo Bills during the '60s.
As a quarterback, he was named the league's most
valuable player in '64 and '65.
In 1971, Kemp was elected to the House of
Representatives, and served the state of New York in
this role for nine terms until 1989. Kemp served for
seven years in the House as Chairman of the House
Republican Leadership Conference, and also served
as the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development.
Kemp is a co-founder and serves on the Board of
Directors of Empower America, a public policy and
advocacy organization. Empower America is dedi-
1 http://niACneUy.cora
cated to "expanding freedom and democratic capi­talism
around the world, promoting policies to
expand economic growth, job creation, entrepre-neurship
and advancing social policies which
empower people, not government bureaucracies."
In March 1995, Dole and Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich named Kemp Chairman of the
National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax
Reform. I think this latter credential will help both
Dole and Kemp win America's support of their mas­sive
tax-cut agenda.
I think Kemp brings charisma and character to the
Republican ticket and a fresh enthusiasm that is wel­comed
by the GOP. I think Kemp will be the weight
that tips the scales in favor of the Republicans in
November.
I encourage everyone to watch the Republican
National Convention and decide for yourselves.
Please exercise your right to vote and show your
support. If you are not registered to vote and would
like to resister in Lee County, please call the Lee
County Voter Registration Office at 745-9780.

Kudos to ISO tennis
tournament organizers
DAVENPORT
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to commend the
effort put into organizing the
ISO tennis tournament last
weekend. The entire competi­tion
was well-organized and
ran smoothly.
The international communi­ty
at Auburn turned out in
large numbers to actively take
part as well as cheer on the
players. There was an air of
camaraderie which gladdened
the heart.
The competition was divid­ed
into two days with the
early rounds on Friday Aug. 9
and the quarterfinals onward
on Saturday Aug. 10.
The heavy rain on Friday
afternoon led me to believe
play would not be possible in
the evening. But the sun
showed up and the courts
were sufficiently dry for the
games to begin. I played and
won through to the quarterfi­nals
which, sadly, ended my
quest for gold!
But it is always participation
and not winning that is impor­tant.
(I guess all the losers con­sole
themselves by saying
that!) I got an opportunity to
meet people from different
countries brought together by
love for the sport. There were
beginners, experienced and
advanced level players. The
tournament was open to both
faculty and students.
I was really happy to be
given an opportunity to be a
part of a tournament such as
this. I also hope there are
many more such events in the
future where people from dif­ferent
cultures and back­grounds
can meet and share
their experiences and also get
to play their favorite sport.

Students work with law enforcement agencies to gain experience"
• TARA ANDERSSON
Assistant Copy Editor
Thanks to the cooperation of several
local, state and federal agencies, Auburn's
criminal justice students get a first-hand
look at what they might be doing after
graduation.
Students who do internships at the
Opelika Police Department spend most of
their time on patrol with the uniform divi­sion,
Lt. Steven Meadows said.
"Whatever happens that particular day
is what they'll be seeing," Meadows said.
They accompany the officers who
respond to calls for auto accidents,
shoplifting, theft, rape and locked cars. "I
think they get their eyes full," Meadows
said.
"There's always that chance of them
getting into a dangerous situation, but we
haven't had one hurt yet," he said.
"We're not going to let them get into a
dangerous situation if we can avoid it,"
Meadows said.
"It's real good for them to be spending
some time in the field they want to go
into. Sometimes it opens their eyes, and
sometimes it lights a fire under them," he
said.
Patrick Lange, 04CJ, works at the Lee
County Youth Development Center in
Opelika. Lange spends his time there pro­viding
security and counseling in the
detention facility, he said.
Lange said he likes working with peo­ple
and helping society in the process. He
said he can be a positive role model for
some teens who are into drugs and steal­ing
cars.
"There's been a couple of kids I've
thought I've made a difference in, so
hopefully they'll straighten out," he said.
CJ464, which is open to non-majors,
"forces students to look at an organization
from an upper-level management posi­tion,"
said Dean Houston, program coor­dinator
and adjunct faculty member in the
criminal justice department.
All students in the program must attend
the pre-internship seminar, two one-on-one
counseling sessions with Houston to

the AUPD. McDonough did an internship with officers like patrolman Chris Stanton.
discuss a paper and a final seminar in
which the students share their experi­ences
with others.
In addition to the academic require­ments,
the students must complete
between 120 and 240 observation hours at
the agency, depending on the number of
quarter hours received, five, nine or 10.
"It's not an easy course. The academics
on the side are challenging, and you can't
skip class," Lange said.
"It's hard to get some experience in
criminal justice or law enforcement and
get a feel for what you'll be doing,"
Houston said.
The program "helps you make up your
mind real quick if you want to do it or
not," Meadows said.
"For the agencies, it is a chance to see
prospective employees at work before hir­ing
them," Houston said. The agency
eventually hires 60 to 70 percent, he said.
The program has a reputation for excel­lence
with law enforcement agencies
around the country, Houston said.
Houston has been running the day-to­day
operations of the internship program
since he came to the University four years
ago.
He is a retired Chicago Police Officer
and a retired colonel in the Air Force
Reserves.
"It takes a lot of work to make it happen
for the students. It takes a lot of work on
the students' part to make the experience
rewarding," Houston said.

The
Hogpen
[ Lee County Rd 677 I
n +
Amphitheater
will bring acts
to Auburn area
• ELIOTT C. MCLAUGHLIN
Scene Editor
If you were to visualize a potential sav­ior
of the Auburn music scene, what
would you imagine? Let me give you
a hint — stereotyping will get you
nowhere.
Mike Kent, one of three hogfarmers in
Lee County, has taken it upon himself to
fill the position. Owning close to 300 acres
of land on the northern outskirts of
Auburn, Kent recently decided to reno­vate
a small portion of his land and build
an amphitheater, appropriately dubbed
"The Hogpen."
"My daughter had started at Auburn
University, and listening to her, I became
aware of the needs of the student age
group," Kent said.
Kent said Tony Brooke of the Big Shoe
Band and Blues Healers helped inspire
him.
"It looked like a place where three hills
came together to me because you can't see
it from the top," Kent said.
But apparently Brooke saw more. The
three converging hills provide ideal
acoustics for a music venue.
The plot of land Kent and Brooke chose
is a about a mile diive (approximately 700
feet as the crow flies) outside the city lim­its
and could potentially hold about 27,000
people, but "we don't expect to get into
that right now because we don't want to
get into what it takes to book a band that
will attract 27,000 people," Kent said.
This is typical of Kent's trademark
ELIOTT C. MCLAUGHUN/SceneEdBor
Workers make last-minute preparations for this Saturday's grand opening of The Hogpen on the northern outskirts of Auburn. Five bands from around the area will perform.
metaphor "You have to crawl before you
walk."
Carl Ratliff, 04HRM, and Will Godfrey, a
former Auburn student and current pro­prietor
of Silver Rocket Records, are help­ing
Kent get The Hogpen walking.
While this is the first time Godfrey has
tried his hand at promotions, Ratliff has
some experience.
"I don't know if I'd call it promoting.
I've just brought bands to the Amsterdam
Cafe and I roadied for Man or Astroman?
for three years," Ratliff said. "But this is
my first full-blown, big-ass outdoor
show."
In a town where close to 23,000 students
can legitimately gripe i

"I think we're the only
university in the national acts coming
S o u t h e a s t e r n through." Conference that doesn't
have a steady flow of
national acts coming
through," Godfrey said.
' Ratliff, Godfrey and
Steve Bronson, proprietor of Wildman
Steve's record store, expressed similar
opinions, hailing The Hogpen as one of
the best things that could happen to the
Auburn music scene.
"I'm thrilled to death there's going to be
a venue of this caliber here," Bronson said.
In addition to The Hogpen's massive
crowd capacity, there is a three and a half
acre lake behind the stage where a beach
volleyball court is under construction.
The 50 feet by 20 feet stage will supply
ample room for most bands. The wattage
will also be sufficient to accommodate
even the loudest and brightest acts.
"The system that we're putting in now
can burn 84 kilowatts per hour," Kent
said.
Bronson, who has nine years of involve­ment
with the Auburn music scene, will
be one of the first to put the system to the
'test at The Hogpen's grand" opening Aug.
19.
He will perform a reunion show with
his band, Big Fun. The band has been on
hiatus since April.
"It's going to be a gas, no doubt about it.
—-^—•—• I '• We're really excited
about it," Bronson said.
Other bands
scheduled to perform
Saturday are Spoonful
James, Ziggy, the
Roustabouts and
Ira towns.
The next show,
on Aug. 24, will include
performances by the
Quadrajets, Toothless,
Pain, Subterrific Chug-a-
Lug and the Soul
Champs.
Ticket prices for
the show on the 17th will be $7 in advance
or $9 at the gate.
"Ticket prices will be higher than they
would be at the Masquerade or the 40
Watt Club, but you won't have to shell out
$4 for a warm Heineken. You can bring
your own nice, cool Heineken," Godfrey
said.
According to Kent, this is one of the
many advantages The Hogpen has over
other venues.
— WILL GODFREY
Proprietor, Silver Rocket Records
"From the concert-goer's
point of view,
we've separated
music from the sale
of alcohol, allowing
people under 21 to
have the same access
to the music scene as
those over 21," Kent
said.
Kent said The
Hogpen will "pro­vide
a venue where
local talent can be
nurtured and finan­cially
supported.
"If students will
support it and be
patient, we can
improve on the fre­quency
of out-of-town
talent we bring
in.
"People in Auburn
need to learn to sup­port
the music
scene," Ratliff said.
Because the local
music scene is
"doing the best it
can" as Godfrey said,
the intention of The
Hogpen staff is to
offer an array of
music that will appeal to the different
crowds in Auburn.
"The important thing is a balanced
venue," Godfrey said.
A tentative show is to be announced at a
later date featuring Man or Astroman?
and Southern Culture on the Skids.
Prospective acts include Rocket From
the Crypt, Gibb Droll, Pavement, Leftover

"Hell, I'd like to get Johnny Cash,"
Ratliff said.
Kent said he personally invites every­one
to come to The Hogpen this Saturday,
"bring their dogs and Frisbees®, kick back
and have a good time."
Tori Amos keys up audience at Alabama Theatre
Back in December 1980, The Washington
Post ran a small article in the Maryland
Weekly Section profiling the accomplish­ments
of 17-year-old Ellen Amos. In the
accompanying interview Amos said, "I
want to be a legend."
Now known as Tori Amos, she per-
JASON WHITE/Staff Writer
Ijori Amos drops in at the Alabama
ITheatre on her "Dew Drop Inn" tour.
formed to a sold-out house at
Birmingham's Alabama Theatre Aug. 5,
and though not yet a legend, she is well
on her way to becoming one.
Amos' music is best described as self-indulgent
piano rock. Her highly emo­tional
music has gained her worldwide
fame.
This fiery redhead plays with such pas­sion
and intensity her audience can only
sit quietly in amazement and uncertain­ty,
breaking into monstrous applause
between songs.
Amos is currently on the "Dew Drop
Inn" tour, supporting her recent release,
Beys For Pele. However, the majority of
her playlist was comprised of songs
from her two earlier releases.
The stage at the Alabama Theatre was
set simply, with Amos' harpsichord to
the left and her BOsendorfer grand piano
on the right. A small chair sat to the
right of the BOsendorfer for her only
accompaniest, single guitarist.
Before playing "Blood Roses," Amos
guitar added an extra dimension to the
music. During "Precious Things," his
instrument sounded like small children
screaming in the distance.
One exhilarating aspect of Amos's
show was hearing her perform songs
made famous by other artists. When she
be reached at (800) 656-HOPE. Tori has
vowed to perform "Me And A Gun" at
all her concerts to raise awareness of sex­ual
assault.
Amos continues to defy conventional
style. Straddling her piano bench so she
can see her audience, she claims to chan-introduced
her harpsichord saying, "This
is my friend, she is 200 years old, but she
can still down margaritas better than any
of you boys."
I can't vouch for its drinking, but at
200 it still plays hard, lending its eerie
sounds to "Caught A Lite Sneeze,""Little
Amsterdam" and "Oh, Susanna" among
others.
She played both instruments through­out
the night, changing instruments dur­ing
some songs with no noticeable inter­ruption.
On past tours Amos has used pre­recorded
accompaniment for songs such
as "God," from Under The Pink. However
,this time she was joined by a guitarist,
introduced only as Clayton. His wailing
recorded Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen
Spirit" and REM's "Losing My Religion,"
Amos started a tradition her fans love.
She does not simply cover a song, but
remakes it into one of her own, some­times
to the point where it is barely rec­ognizable.
At this show she performed
the Cure's "Lovesong," "Let It Be" writ­ten
by John Lennon, Prince's "Purple
Rain" and the Southern folk song "Oh
Susanna," played for the "first and prob­ably
last time" on the harpsichord.
As always, Amos sang the acapella
"Me And A Gun," a story of her sexual
assault. To help herself and others like
her, Amos helped create the Rape, Incest
and Abuse National Network (RAINN),
in the summer of 1994. The hotline can
nel her songs rather than play them. The
music is in the instrument, Amos just lets
it out.
Willy Porter opened the show playing
songs from his Dog Eared Dream album.
Porter played a kind of punk/folk
acoustic guitar.
Porter's music is light and fun. His
most notable song came with a short
introduction. Willy explained that while
driving out west he was almost run over
by a Mack truck with a statue of Jesus
tied to the grill. He had what amounts to
a religious experience, inspiring him to
compose "Jesus On The Grill." "The song
kinda wrote itself," he said.

Trainspotting portrays life of heroin addicts in Edinburgh, Scotland.
TRAINSPOTTING
Miramax Pictures
"Misguided yet loveable."
"Hilarious'"
"So disturbingly funny, it
almost made me feel guilty."
If I were a big-time movie crit­ic,
these would be some of the
quotes they could take out of
this review to promote the new
Miramax movie Trainspotting.
You may have to drive to a
nearby metropolis to see this
movie about a group of misguid­ed
yet loveable heroin addicts
and their misadventures in the
less-than-glamorous subculture
of Edinburgh, Scotland, but it's
worth it. The movie is hilarious!
Directed by Danny Boyle,
Trainspotting follows the story of
Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor)
as he lapses in and out of his
heroin addiction. His so-called
friends are ever-present to com­fort,
torment, console and gener­ally
wreak havoc in his life.
Sick Boy (Johnny Lee Miller),
whose infinite knowledge of
Sean Connery trivia makes him
the key trainspotter, shows no
remorse for his actions as he
cheats, lies to and steals from his
mates. . _;•-—"-•" -, —."SjSA-i'-t- •"
Begbie (Robert CariyJSfct&an-,',
alcoholic nut case who scares
even his own friends with his
sudden, violent outbursts.
Then there's Spud (Ewan
Bremmer), a hopeless dimwit
addict, Diane (Kelly
MacDonald), Renton's under-age
girlfriend and Tommy (Kevin
McKidd), the nature-loving jock
who won't touch drugs.
Renton is the only one of the
bunch willing to kick the habit.
But just as soon as he moves
away, gets a job and seemingly
gets his life together, his
"friends" come back to tempt
him once again, not that it takes
much tempting.
Surprisingly, the movie does
not focus on the depressing and
dismal aspects of a drug addict's
life. It makes light of many
potentially-icky situations.
Several scenes were so dis­turbingly
funny, it almost made
me feel guilty to laugh. These
scenes were intensified by an
awesome soundtrack.
Granted, this movie is not for
your average wanker. I wouldn't
drag my grandparents to watch
it, for example. And it's a far cry
from your When Harry met Sally
romantic-type date flicks (more
like When your Neighborhood Drug
Dealer met the Brady Bunch).
So hang your Trainspotting
poster next to those of Reservoir
Dogs and Pulp Fiction because
-Jhi&TOOYjg is sure to be .the next
cultiSmash — a must-see for the
twisted minds of our generation.

YOUNG NEAL & THE VIPERS

King Snake Records
®#®1/2
No, not Neil Young, Young
Neal.
Oh, and while I'm on the sub­ject,
he's not Stevie Ray Vaughn
either, but he can play some good
blues.
Young Neal is a talented gui­tarist
who plays blues and some­thing
that is close to rock-a-billy.
The opening track, "I Can't
Keep Up With You," has a good
rock blues guitar sound to it, but
the singing doesn't have the deep
tone usually associated with
blues.
His voice does not have that
deep tone that you might hear in a
B.B. King song or the power of
Vaughn.
Neal Vitullo (Young Neal) is a
great guitar player, and this CD
puts his talent on display.
The band covers King's "Ruby
Lee" and does a decent job,
although the singing doesn't com­pare
to King's.
"Give Your Love (Back to Your
Husband)" and "Had Enuff" both
have music reminiscent of
Vaughn, but there definitely isn't
the same caliber of music.
"Radiates That Charm" is a
slower track with more of a blues
feel, but once again Vitullo just
doesn't have a strong blues voice.
His music also reminds me of
George Thorogood at times.
Fans of blues music might want
to check this album out because
the music is solid.
Fans of good blues singing
might want to hold on to their
money and make their way over
to the B.B. King or Stevie Ray
Vaughn section.

In the Time of the Home Parade
GoldRyhme Records
g«p ffill &gp
When I first looked at the CD
cover for Joel Stein's second
album, I wasn't exactly sure what
to expect.
The cover shows Stein holding
an acoustic guitar, but gives no
hint where he will fit in the musi­cal
spectrum.
Then I found out Stein lists his
influences as Pink Floyd, Bob
Dylan and Bach.
After listening to this CD, I can
only describe him as an articulate
Bob Dylan.
His music ranges from acoustic
guitar with a harmonica over it on
"Via St. Louis," to a more rocked
out, distorted sound on "Monday
Phone Call."
All of the tracks can get your
foot tapping except for "Dave's
Big Moment." This track must be
an inside joke within the band,
because it is only 34 seconds of
background noise and occasional
drum noise.
The only other waste of CD
space was "Hey There, Claire,"
which sounded like it was record­ed
in a basement.
Stein does a decent cover of
Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue,"
which makes up for the two wast­ed
tracks that surround it.
"Nomad's Lament," has sort of
an Allman Brothers feel to it, but
as with all the tracks on the album,
Stein's voice is a little monoto­nous.
I can listen to about one song at
a time before his voice starts to get
on my nerves.
Stein definitely has talent and
his music has diversity, but, unfor­tunately,
his voice does not follow
that diversity.
For fans of Bob Dylan and
acoustic guitars, this album is one
you should investigate.

ACOUSTIC WORKSHOP
Strange Addiction'' 9fU rri m.q <
Down South Productions
mm mm • nwnxh. i3JSv
With the release of its first CD,
Rage, Acoustic Workshop burst
onto the music scene with a
sound that clearly fit into the
acoustic music genre.
However, with the release of its
second album, Strange Addiction,
the group hits genres from blues
to soul, and it becomes apparent
the only strange addiction this
group has is making good music.
The disc begins with "Jessie," a
bluesy ditty about a girl who's
making At big in, the wqrjd, but
who is "living on fame and
cocaine."
The disc continues with the
song "Antebellum," which focus­es
on the Civil War and the way
brother was pitted against broth­er.
The title track of the disc is one
of the three best songs on the CD.
It discusses a love which seems to
be one-sided. I think we've all
felt this way at one point or
another.
The song on the disc that
stands out to me, however is
"Once is a Lifetime."
This song describes waiting to
find that special person one is
obviously meant to be with. An
added bonus to this song is the
amazing harmony added by
Dana, Dawn and Danielle Griffin.
This is the type of song that the
sends chills down your spine.
The rest of the disc is good, but
it's just not quite as enthralling as
Acoustic Workshop's debut disc.
What began as an acoustic duo
from Macon, Ga., has become
four guys making music you
can't quite categorize, but,
nonetheless, you can't let it lie by
the wayside either.
Check out Strange Addiction
regardless of your musical taste.
There's probably.4 song on this,
disc that will hit the spot.

Fair-weather
fans stink
Cha-ching! It's been a while
New uniform, players highlight press conference
since that particular Saints motto
has been heard in the
* Superdome.
Oh how I yearn for the days of
the Dome Patrol when Rickey
- Jackson, Sam Mills, Vaughn
Johnson and Pat Swilling ruled
the defense, stopping almost
everything run or thrown their
way.
Like the days of the Saints as a
playoff team, that linebacker
• corps has fallen by the wayside.
After this weekend's 42-6 shel­lacking
by the Kansas City
Chiefs, I'm really hoping not to
'return to the days of paper bags
over my head.
I've been a Saints fan all my
.life. My earliest memories of
football are of the Saints. I grew
up in an area that had a love
affair with the 'Aints.
" I painfully remember the game
against the Miami Dolphins that
caused the Saints to go 7-9 that
tyear because a game winning
touchdown was called back on
some stupid infraction.
Painfully, I recall their first
playoff game. How excited I was
when they scored first, only to
get destroyed by the Chiefs in
the end.
Just having them finally make
the playoffs was good enough
for me.
Just as painfully, I remember
their loss to Deion Sanders and
the Atlanta Falcons.
To this day I still refuse to dis­cuss
their other playoff loss. I'm
trying, unsuccessfully, to block it
from my mind.
I have an uncle who absolutely
delights in tormenting me about
my beloved Saints.
Whenever he starts in, I just
have to take it and wait for the
next victory so I can repay the
favor tenfold.
Most of my friends and family
who do not live around New
Orleans wonder why I remain
such a loyal Saints fan.
I don't know myself. What I do
know is that I will manage to
attend at least one game again
this year and watch as many as
there happen to be on television.
I'll be delighted when they
win, and I'll kick the neighbor's
cat, among other things, when
they lose.
And if this isn't their year, then
'11 use another favorite New
Orleans expression, "just wait
until next year" because I know
that just like my favorite baseball
team, the Braves, their time will
ome.
When I first became an Atlanta
an, the Braves were pathetic.
A little known fact about the
raves is when the Baltimore
Drioles lost 30 games to start the
eason with an 0-30 record, the
worst ever, they finished the sea-on
with a better record than the
raves did that season.
That's basically how it is with
he Saints right now. When they
inally win something, I can
roudly wear my Saints gear and
now I was a fan through it all,
ust like when the Braves won.
I'm not one of those people
vho put on either a Cowboys or
9ers hat depending on which
earn won the Superbowl.
If there is one thing I am not,
ther than a Libertarian, it is a
air-weather fan.
I don't get up in the morning
nd check the sports section to
ee which team I'll root for that
fay-
To all those people who do, get
ome guts, pick out a team and
tick with it through it all.

A new jersey and confidence in
Dameyune Craig were the main themes of
Auburn Head Football Coach Terry
Bowden's pre-season press conference.
The new jersey will have an orange shad­ow
around the numbers, known as a drop
shadow and will be made from a material
called tackle twill.
Bowden said the change was Russell
Corporation's idea, and he approves.
—"I like it, I do, but Tdon't have a good
opinion on whether anybody else will," he
said.
Bowden said the game uniform has
become an Auburn tradition.
"It's part of our own unique heritage,"
Bowden said.
Bowden said he feels confident about
Dameyune Craig's ability to play quarter­back
and lead the football team.
"In a limited way, he started to assert his
leadership last year," Bowden said. "I think
Dameyune Craig is going to be a great quar­terback
at Auburn, a truly great quarter­back."
All the returning players reported to
camp on time, and all but two or three were
in good physical shape, he said.
"Nobody was drastically out of shape. A
couple of people fell a little bit short of our
about," Bowden said.
Practice went as expected Saturday morn­ing,
with the returning players getting
almost all the practice time.
An early priority for the offense will be to
evaluate the offensive line and find backups
for a few key positions.
"You want to solidify your positions, find
out which guys can do what. On offense, it
would be the offensive linemen. I want to
see which guys come through early. I feel
good about everything else except a few
key backups," Bowden said.
Defensive Coach Bill Oliver and his staff
will be trying to find the top six defensive
linemen, backups at linebacker and the fifth
and sixth defensive backs.
"Defensively, I think that's what Brother
and the defensive coaches are doing.
&y're trying4o find out who is going to
backup at linebacker, probably who are
going to be their top six defensive linemen,
and if they have five or six defensive backs
they can move in and mix around," Bowden
said. DAVE HASBROUCK/Pholo Staff

Aubie visits with three junior Auburn fans during Fan Day. From left to right they are Joey, Heather and Brent Butts from Sylacauga.
Fans excited about meeting favorite players
• DJ BONDS
Assistant Photo Editor
Last Sunday was a special day
at Auburn. It was the day known
to the Auburn faithful as Fan
Day, a unique chance for fans to
meet their favorite Tiger football
stars.
At Auburn, Fan Day is an
annual event held at Jordan-Hare
Stadium prior to football season.
People from all over the South
come to meet, get autographs
from and have their pictures
taken with Auburn football play­ers,
coaches and mascots.
This year the event was co-sponsored
by the Auburn
Athletic Department and the
Auburn Chamber of Commerce.
Auburn Head Coach Terry
Bowden said he hoped many
Auburn fans would visit on Fan
Day. "We look forward to Fan
Day each year. It means a lot to
our players to have that much
support," he said.
Bowden's wife, Shyrl, has
attended for three years and said
she enjoys the positive response
of the fans.
She said Bowden enjoys Fan
Day despite the heat and long
lines. "When people don't ask for
your autograph, something's
wrong, so it's a privilege to have
people wanting your autograph
and being this excited about
Auburn football," she said.
Karl Lavine, an Auburn center,
said this is his third time partici­pating
in Fan Day.
"I've had a good time every
year. It's a great feeling knowing
that so many people come out
here for this. It lets us know that
we have a lot of support," he
said.
He said that although the heat
and crowds are tiring, it's worth
it.
Gail Alsobrook, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, said
some form of Fan Day has been
held for at least 15 years. "I know
we've had a barbecue; we've had
ice-cream socials — always some­thing
to welcome back the foot­ball
players and the coaches,
(although) it may not have been
called Fan Day," she said.
"Fan Day is an opportunity to
give children and fans the time to
meet the players and make them
feel welcome and part of the
Auburn community," she said.
Alsobrook said local businesses
provide pens for fans to get auto­graphs
and that the Chamber's
job isn't difficult because people
enjoy Fan Day and want to be
there.
"The Athletic Department does
most of the major work in coordi­nating
where the players are
going to be, and we have a lot of
people that come and hand out
the pens and posters for players
and coaches to sign," Alsobrook
said.

Freshmen
adjust to
college ball
• SALLIE OWEN
Assistant Copy Editor
The biggest freshmen on cam­pus
are being put to the test long
before fall classes begin. They are
the 28 freshmen and walk-ons
who reported to the Auburn
Football program for the first
time Aug. 6.
They have played the game
before, but never like this.
"It's a big adjustment as far as
the speed of the game and how
quickly you have to learn
things," Ben Leard, a quarterback
from Hartwell, Ga., said.
Like many of his new team­mates,
Leard said he doesn't
seem to mind the changes.
"I'm really enjoying it. It's a lot
of hard work and a lot of fun," he
said.
These freshman football play­ers
were big fish in the little pond
of high school. Now the pond is
bigger, and so are the other fish.
"In high school I wasn't sur­rounded
by the caliber of players
I am now," Leard said.
Blake Carruthers, a walk-on
center from Moultrie, Ga., said
players have more responsibility
at this level of the game.
"Here they treat you like men.
You don't have an excuse if you
screw up," Carruthers said.
Coaches overlooked mistakes
more easily in high school, he
said.
He seems to be adjusting well
to the new intensity, however.
"I like it right now. It's going to
get a lot harder, but in the long
run it's gonna be a lot of fun,"-
Carruthers said.

walk-on, Larkin Deason, is just
glad to finally get here after a
summer of waiting, running and

Unsung hero strengthens offensive line with his return
• BECKY HANSON
Assistant Sports Editor
When the Auburn football team
scores seven points, you automati­cally
think about the quarterback.
It does take a lot from him, but
don't forget about the entire offen­sive
line. If it weren't for these
players, Dameyune Craig would­n't
get very far.
Leonard Thomas, an offensive
guard who started all 11 games for
the Tigers last season, is the only
starter returning to the offensive
line.
He played 709 of 788 total snaps
and recorded five pancake blocks.
Thomas has allowed only one sack
to the quarterback.
When asked how he feels about
the new linemen, he said it won't
be that different.
"There is a lot of added pres­sure,
but there are other seniors to
help out," Thomas said.
Head Coach Terry Bowden said
the offensive line is in order.
"I would like to think that we
never rebuild an offensive line,
just reload," Bowden said. "I will
be talking to Coach Trickett every
day and watching how he moves
them around. I want to be able to
see which guys will come through
early."
Unfortunately for the offensive
linemen, they don't receive much
recognition for their hard work
and sweat.
"It just comes with the posi­tion,"
Thomas said. "We're pretty
much used to not getting any.
That's just part of it."
The Columbus, Ga., native said
he enjoys the convenience of being
close to home. "If I ever need any­thing,
I can just run home," he
said.
With his family being close by,
Thomas said his parents are able
to come to most of the games.
Because of the loss of Willie
Anderson and Shannon Roubique,
some think the offensive line
could suffer, but Thomas is confi­dent
about the new starters.
"Yes, we have lost quite a few,
but everyone seems to be develop­ing
and filling the shoes," Thomas
said.
Senior Jim Roe is returning and
starting as tight tackle, junior
James Kiger had to fill the shoes of
Roubique as starting center and
Jeno James is on-line to start as
split tackle this season.
With Craig being known as a
running quarterback, it makes
Thomas' job harder in some ways,
please see HERO, B-7

Chamber expands Tiger Trail
• JEREMY HOLLOMAN
Sports Editor
Soon a walk in downtown
Auburn will seem more like a visit
to an Auburn sports history muse­um
than a stroll through the shop­ping
district.
The Auburn Chamber of
Commerce has decided to expand
the Tiger Trail to beautify Auburn,
recognize great performers and
promote commerce.
The granite plaques of the Tiger
Trail embedded in the sidewalk
downtown honor former Auburn
athletes, coaches and athletic
administrators.
"Visitors and local residents
enjoy the beautifying and spirited
effort the Tiger Trail brings to
downtown Auburn, recognizing
some of Auburn's greatest achiev­ers.
And at the same time we are
marketing one of our communi­ty's
most valuable products,
Auburn athletics," Gail
Alsobrook, president of the
Chamber, said.
Tiger Trail committee member
and Auburn Athletic Director
David Housel said the Tiger Trail
enhances the spirit of Auburn.
"Tiger Trail reinforces and adds
to the college-town atmosphere,"
Housel said.
The Auburn Chamber of
Commerce has set up a fund to
continue the Tiger Trail for future
generations and plans to eventual­ly
increase the number of plaques
to 250.
Tiger Trail selection committee
member Trey Johnston of J & M
Bookstore said the Chamber will
have an induction breakfast hon­oring
the newest members of the
Tiger Trail Sept. 21 before the
Louisiana State University foot­ball
game.
Tickets for the breakfast cost $20
and are available at the Chamber
of Commerce, Anders Bookstore
