is nothing but a transference of bones from one
graveyard to another.
J. Frank Dobie

Caren M. Kiker, 01 GC, of Birmingham was released from the Lee


County Jail Friday on $15,000 bond
for the March 1 alleged kidnapping
and assault of an Auburn resident.
Ken Walker, an announcer for
WAUD radio station, said he suffered
two gashes to his head, four stab
wounds to his abdomen, a broken
tooth and a lost filling in the incident.
Kiker and Kenneth N. Kirkpatrick,
both of Birmingham, were arrested
March 5 for the assaulting and kidnapping of Walker early Sunday
morning, March 1, according to Lt.
Bill Magbee of the Opelika Police
Department.
Kirkpatrick was also released Friday after payment on a $150,000

bond, according to Capt. Paul Dennis


of t h e Lee C o u n t y S h e r i f f ' s
Department.
Both were charged with first degree
assault and first degree kidnapping
following an investigation by Opelika police detectives, Magbee said.
Conviction for first degree assault
carries a sentence of Jwo to 20 years,
and first degree kidnapping carries a
sentence of 10-99 years or life, Magbee
said.
Kiker w a s u n a v a i l a b l e for
comment.
Walker, a resident at Patio Apartments, allegedly received a call from
Kiker at about 2:30 a.m. on March 1
claiming she had been left at Rusty's
Oyster Bar by some friends and
needed a ride home, Magbee said.
Walker drove to the phone booth,

where Kiker had supposedly phoned,


at the Saco gas station across the
street from Rusty's on Pepperell
Parkway. When he arrived, he was
attacked by an unknown male who
was later identified as Kirkpatrick,
Magbee said.
After the assault, Walker was put in
the trunk of what is thought to be
Kirkpatrick's tan late-model Chevrolet and taken to Walker's apartment, Magbee said.
Magbee said the assault continued
inside Walker's apartment and considerable damage was done to the
interior of the apartment.
A friend of Walker's knocked and
entered the apartment during the
incident and was thrown to the floor
and threatened. Kiker and Kirkpatrick then left the apartment, according to Magbee.

Lucy P e n n i n g t o n, director of
Community Relations at East Alabama Medical Center, said Walker
was admitted at 3:10 a.m. on March 1
to the emergency room where he was
treated and released.
Magbee said the 18-year-old University student and Kirkpatrick
committed "a very serious crime" by
putting Walker in what he said was
"a life-threatening situation." However, he said it will be up to the courts
to determine the seriousness of the
assault.
Magbee said he could not comment
further on the incident because it
could "possibly jeopordize an investigation in another district."
The said case will probably be presented to the next term of the grand
jury, he said.

Dr. Claude Gossett, chairman


of the University senate, put the
changing of the grading system
at the top of the senate's priority
list at its March 10 meeting.
He said, "We will soon have a
voting of minus and plus grading as we continue to look into
this issue.
"The Student Government Association (SGA), is going to
come up with a statement on the
voting, as well as the University
^ j
faculty presenting some input
and a vote."
Solomon Miller, chairman of
the Ad Hoc Committee to consider
changing the Auburn grading
system, said, "We must submit
the idea to the registrar. This type
of grading would allow a wider
range of grades, we must get
recommendations and opinions."
In other business, Executive
Vice President George Emert
reported that $1.25 million has
been given to the small animal
clinic for its expansion.
"We have also passed a resolution to move the tennis courts at
Samford and Donahue roads to
Wire Road," he said. The March
31 meeting of the senate will discuss raising the price of housing
to meet with inflation and
because of some of the renovation, he said.
Concerning the possibilty of an
early quarter system, Rod Jenkins, chairman of the Calendar
Committee, said, "We have met
with the SGA about an early
quarter system, now we are still
not sure it is possible. We are now
looking into the semester system." Dennis Rygiel, professor of
English, had a procedural motion

Candidates bracing for elections


By Laura C. Barnwell
Staff Writer
When SGA elections roll around
spring quarter, students will not have
to spend much time at the polls.
There are three candidates for president, but vice president and treasurer both have one candidate. The
offices of Plainsman and Glomerata
editors each have one candidate.
Hal Finney, 03 AC; Del Holley, 03
LSC; and Harold Melton, 03 IB are
running for SGA president.
Melton serves as the SGA secretary
of Student Life. He has also served as
director of international affairs and
as an administrative aide. As SGA
president, Melton said he would continue to support the past administration's programs which have made

progress. According to Melton, the


SGA's attempt to have a new swimming pool built is a good example of a
program that will be continued.
Finney is a senator from the College of Business and is chairman of
the Budget and Finance Committee. He
has served as special assistant to the
SGA president and as a member of
the Student Welfare Code of Laws and
Concession Board committees. He
said the SGA could be a "better
channel of communication" from the
students to the administration.
Holley, who serves as Magnolia
senator, could not be reached for
comment.
The^vice presidential candidate is
Jim Johnson.
Steve Herndon, 03 PB, is running
for treasurer.

Bret Pippen, 03 GJM, is The


Plainsman editor candidate, and
Mary Sue Collins, 04 ME, is the Glomerata editor candidate.
According to Larry Perry, 04 PLIB,'
SGA director of elections, these were
the only candidates to sign up in
these races.
Perry said of the low turnout,
"Those offices were not appealing."
"If you look at this year's power
structure," many of the senators and
cabinet positions who usually run for
high office are seniors, Perry said.
According to Perry, it "takes a lot of
time, effort and money to run for
these offices. Whether or not people
are discouraged by this, I don't

Low-income students can get help from Auburn housing


By Stephanie Warnecke
Assistant N e w s Editor
Low-income married students have
a place to turn to for help with housing in Auburn.
The Auburn Housing Authority
helps financially-deprived people
find "safe, sanitary and decent" hous-

ing and helps pay the rent, through a


program called Section 8 housing,
according to Willie Griffin, executive
director of the Housing Authority.
Section 8 housing is sponsored by
the federal Housing and Urban
Development Program. A product of
the Reagan Administration, this program takes the place of "projects" or

conventional housing for low-income


families.
The program currently has 155
units, five of which are open now.
Applications will be accepted starting April 6 at the housing authority,
located on Booker Street. Twenty-five
additional units will also be available
soon.
In order to qualify for the program,
the person applying must either be a
single parent, handicapped, disabled
according to the Social Security Act,
more than 62 years old or be of a lowincome family.
Griffin said a family is any two
people related by blood or marriage.
To be considered for the program, a
single person must have an income
less than $8,450, and a couple, without a child, an income less than
$9,650, or with a child and an income
less than $10,850.
In order to apply for the program, a
person must fill out the forms at the
Housing Authority and show a birth
certificate and social security
number. He is then placed on a waiting list. Bertha Pearson, Section 8
coordinator, said the wait is usually
fairly short.
When his name comes up on the
list, the applicant is required to bring
further proof of eligibility. If the
applicant is eligible, an assessment is

-fcaaafeaaaa

made of his adjusted gross income.


The Housing Authority then sets
certain criteria the housing must
meet.
They do not direct people to certain
housing, but allow them to find their
own.
"Any landlord can give us houses,
but we don't like to steer people to
certain places," Griffin said.
The rent must be "fair market" or
within reasonable limits, and the
housing must be inspected by the
authority, Pearson said.
Griffin and Pearson gave an example of how to figure the rent a lowincome couple with a child could pay:
The couple has an income of
$10,000 a year. The Housing Authority allows $480 of the income for each
child, which is subtracted from the
$10,000, leaving $9,520. This is
divided by 12 to get the monthly
adjusted income, in this case, $79.33.
Thirty percent of this figure is computed to be the amount the tenant is to
pay for rent for the year, for this couple, $264 or $20 a month.
The authority pays the remainder
of the rent by the first of each month
to the property owner. An allowance
is made for utilities, but they are the

Health officials heat up kitchens


By J a y Kempf
Staff Writer
A low health rating at an
unfamiliar restaurant makes you
wonder what's really going on
back in the kitchen.
Stan Hagen is a public health
environmentalist for the Lee
County Health Department. It is
his job to give health scores to the
various area restaurants.
Hagen stated that a restaurant
begins with a score of 100 at the
start of any given inspection. The
inspector then begins subtracting points for critical and noncritical h e a l t h violations as
established by the Food and Drug
Administration.
Critical violations, Hagen said,
are either a four or five point
deduction. Non-critical violations are either one or two points.
Examples of critical violations
are the presence of rodents or
insects (four points) or improperly stored food (five points).
Some examples of non-critical
violations are u n s a n i t a r y
bathroom facilities (two points)
or leaving dishrags lying about
(one point).
Restaurants have 10 days to
correct any violations for which
they were cited, Hagen said. If in
10 days the restaurant does not
take care of any problems, then it
will be closed until it does so.
Hagen revealed that inspections are made monthly or quarterly depending on the establishment's previous score. If the
restaurant scored below 85 it is
inspected monthly, otherwise it is

inspected quarterly.
"Sometimes we may suspect a
restaurant just got lucky," Hagen
said with a chuckle, "and we will
inspect mnothly regardless of
their last score." All inspections
are unannounced.
When asked if low health
scores have any real effect on a
r e s t a u r a n t ' s business, Hagen
said, "They complain because
people see the low score and will
comment on it."
One question some may ask is,
is it reasonable to expect a large

restaurant to be completely cockroach free?


"None are acceptable (cockroaches). If I see one cockroach
it's a critical item (four points).
We are uncompromising, particularly on insects," Hagen said.
Jerry Koellsted is also a public
health environmentalist. When
asked what he liked best about
his job Koellsted replied, "Getting people to listen to you and do
what you ask them to do without
forcing t h e m t h a t ' s the
challenge."

Circle K rounds up 6 awards


By Bret Pippen
N e w s Editor
Winning three individual and
three group awards, the University chapter of Circle K hosted the
group's annual district convention March 6-8.
"Alabama is a district itself
with 27 clubs," said Martha Reynolds, 03 CEC, president of the
chapter. "This convention is the
final wrap-up for the year, and
everyone gets awards for jobs
well done."
Approximately 140 people
attended the convention, where
the group also elects its governor,
six lieutenant governors, district

secretary and district treasurer,


she said.
Circle K is a worldwide service
organization, which raises
money for charities such as Special Olympics, Muscular Dystrophy and Cystic Fibrosis, Reynolds said. The group also
provides community services
such as visiting nursing homes
and juvenile deliquent centers.
At the convention, Paul Johnson, 03 PC, won the governor's
award and was elected governor
of the district. Denise Mayberry,
03 NUR, vice president of the
chapter, won the achievement
award, and Reynolds won first
place oratorical award, she said.

The group took home first place


in achievement, second place in
scrapbook and third place in single s e r v i c e , a c c o r d i n g to
Reynolds.
There were also many workshops on subjects such as body
language, taught by Willie Larkin of the Alabama Agriculture
Extension Service, and projects
taught by Susan Powell, pastpresident of the Auburn chapter,
Reynolds said.
Brig. Luther Smith, governor
of the Alabama Kiwanis Club
which sponsored the convention,
also made a presentation, she
said.

"The manager is the key,"


Hagen said. "If you know the
manager is good, then you'll
know he's concerned about keeping the restaurant clean."
When asked if some regulations are just too nitpicky to keep,
Koellsted replied, "Well, the same
sets of violations keep popping up
as you go around.
"Because of our competitive
American nature we take it personally when an inspector comes
in and marks off for something
we consider trivial like a wet
rag laying on a counter top,
though it may be a clean rag."
Further, Koellsted remarked,
"You only look at it from the
standpoint of your operation, but
the regulations were written for
all operations."
Restaurants must attain a minimum score of 70 said Hagen.
Those e s t a b l i s h m e n t s which
make below 70 have only two
days to comply with regulations
or be faced with a shutdown.
But how many restaurants are
ever actually forced to close their
doors? "I've closed 10 to 12 in the
last four years," Hagen said.
Hagen further stated that most
closings were immediate shutdowns as a result of backed up
floor drains or recurring insect
problems.

A degree in chemistry or biology can qualify you to become a


health inspector. The job may
sound routine, but often it is not.
Leaning back in his chair and
grinning broadly, Hagen recalled
one of his job's more humorous
episodes. "One of the stranger
incidents at a restaurant was
when we got a call that someone
was killing ducks in downtown
Auburn. Slaughtering ducks." j |
"I went up there (The Golden
Dragon now out of business),
and sure enough there was a
crate of domestic ducks behind
that restaurant. And there was
one duck that had been slaughtered, still with feathers on and
all, in a bus pan in the walk-in
cooler."
Koellsted laughed as Hagen
finished his story. "They had a
thing called Peking Duck which
you had to order 24 hours in
advance. And when you ordered
it they would go out and slaughter a duck and bleed it out back,
r i g h t t h e r e in d o w n t o w n
Auburn!"

LOOKING OUT FOR NEEDY


Worker replaces window

It was a chilly Saturday morning and rain looked


like it would soon begin falling, but that didn't stop
35 local volunteers from rebuilding a badly weathered house in Opelika.
Volunteers from Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, Omega Psi Phi social fraternity, the
Auburn Association of Student Social Workers
(AASSW), the Concerned Citizens of Lee County,
the Alabama Council on Human Relations, the
Presbyterian Community Ministry, NAACP, Alabama New South Coalition, Hiller Construction
Company and Seven J Construction Company
gathered to lend a hand in the rebuilding of 87-yearold Sophia Kindrid's house.
According to Rufus Felton.a 1981 Auburn graduate and housing and energy coordinator for the
Alabama Council on Human Relations, whenever a
person needs some basic reconstruction done on
their house or needs their house weatherized, they
come to the council and apply for it.
"A person must meet certain qualifications, such
as low income, and their home must really need
fixing," Felton said.
"This particular project that we are doing today
requires a lot more work than usual," Felton said.
"This house is very old and in bad condition."
Kindrid's small white house on Alabama Avenue
shows its age, approximately 49 years old, through
the peeling white paint with faded green trim and
the weathered boards which loosely hold the house
together. The inside is not much better.
It's dark and damp and the floorboards creak,
moving beneath your feet. In a dusty corner of the
living room a picture of Jesus shakes on the wall as
the volunteers above put a new roof on the six-room
house.
"The Auburn Social Workers Club came to me
and said they wanted to volunteer their services
and help someone who needed their house fixed up,"
Felton said. "I pulled this house from my files
because with enough volunteers we could make the
necessary repairs."
"This community needs our help and that is what
we are here for," said Louise Jackson, 04 GSW, president of AASSW.

WORK PARTY
V o l u n t e e r s g a t h e r m a t e r i a l s to r e p a i r roof
Alpha Phi Omega participates in reconstruction
projects every year, according to Andy Toelle, 02
PG. "I feel good inside knowing I am helping someone," Toelle said.
According to Felton, the Alabama Council on
Human Relations pays for the necessary materials,
but all of the labor is volunteer. "Some organizations help us through donating money," Felton
said.
One such organization that donated money for
this particular project was Delta Sigma Theta sorority and alumnae.
Felton said the materials for the rebuilding of
Kindrid's house cost around $700.

The steady beat of hammers and the buzz of an


electric saw could be heard a block away. Neighbors
gathered around on the street and watched as the
crew of serious, but cheerful, volunteers turned a
small worn-out house into a sturdy livable one.
"Now this is a real community project," said Earl
Tarver of the Alabama Council on Human Relations, as he observed the construction inside. "This
is a worthwhile effort, and I can give up a Saturday
of watching cartoons to help someone else," he said.

Nobel winner discusses choice theory 1 Campus Calendar


By L e a n n e P o t t s
Staff Writer

Nobel Prize-winning economist James M. Buchanan discussed public choice theory


March 4 in Foy Union by
attempting to demonstrate the
inability of political intervention
to correct inefficiency in a
market.
The public choice theory applies rules of business and industry to democratic government. Its
fundamental premise is that just
as in economic decisions, an
individual's political decisions
are motivated by rational selfinterest. The theory questions the
notion that political decisons follow ideology.
Buchanan received the 1986
Nobel Prize in economics for his
work on the public choice theory.
The Murfeesboro, Tenn., native is
professor and director of the Center for Study of Public Choice at
George Mason University in
Fairfax, Va.
Before a crowd of about 150,
Buchanan went over a paper
written for a conference in West
Germany last fall titled "Market
Failure and Political Failure."
Using a hypothetical economic
situation as an example, Buchanan compared the public choice
theory to "welfare economics" by
applying each to the model.
According to Buchanan, the
goal of a market, as realistically
defined by public choice theory, is
to "distribute resources as equitably as possible, given that perfect distribution is impossible."
Unlike other economic theories
that assume a perfectly efficient
market is possible, this theory
allows for the realities and imperfections of "distributional effects
and resulting conflicts."

DECISIVE SPEECH
B u c h a n a n r e l a t e s economically t o a Foy U n i o n c r o w d
A central precept of the public
choice theory is that neither
government nor a market is perfect; therefore, the overall capability of an imperfect government
to compensate for an imperfect
market is questioned.
B u c h a n a n questioned the
"unattainable ideal of efficiency
used" by welfare economists to
measure markets. "Due to uncontrollable outside factors, economists cannot define ideal efficiency," he said.

The Mad Hacker


124 E. Thach Ave.
821-2260
Savage f a n s

"Can an ideal state be used to


evaluate an observed state?" he
asked.
Politics are an inevitable part
of the "distribution of surplus in a
market," Buchanan said, and
politicians and voters will do
what's best for themselves, not
what's best for the system.
"Participants in the political
process seek to maximize their
utilities given the instruments
available to them, and they may
be only secondarily interested in
the efficiency game," he said.
Public choice theory asserts
that since politicians have an

interest to protect in any economic situation, their actual role


is that of a participant, not a bystander. Because the decision
makers are within the system,
said Buchanan, they cannot be
expected to make impartial policy adjustments for the market.
Buchanan said, "Any politicization of market failure will be
highly unlikely to work when
people involved have different
interests.
"If we seek reform in economic
policy, we should change the
rules under which political
agents or representatives act."

Problems in athletics reflect society


By S t e p h a n i e Hofman
Staff Writer
Integrity is at the heart of the
problems in the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) and in society, Wilford
Bailey, former president of the
University and current president
of the NCAA, said Tuesday,
March 3 at an Omicron Delta
Kappa student-faculty luncheon.
"I submit to you that the problems that are very evident in
athletics such as drugs, cheating
or whatever form of lack of integrity are simply extentions of
society," Bailey said.
A recent ABC news survey
about the problems in investment
banking and inside trading on
Wall Street showed that 65 percent of those surveyed consider
recent disclosures as evidence in
a moral decline in investment
banking, he said.
According to Bailey, Southern
Methodist University (SMU) and
some other institutions are evidence that problems in athletics
reflect problems in our society
generally.
"The fact that there is a perception that there is a moral decline
in the investment banking industry in this country is but one manifestation of that," he said.
Although the problems in
intercollegiate athletics mirror
problems in society, that is no
reason to ignore them or overlook
them, Bailey said. Part of the
problem is that the wrong message has consistently been sent
to student athletes from high
schools, he said.
"That message is that it doesn't

matter what kind of student you


are, and if you're a good enough
athlete you can get in any institution, and in most great institutions in this country ways will be
found to keep your eligibility to
stay there regardless of how well
prepared you are or what kind of
institution you picked," he said.

In spite of the problems, Bailey


said, the concern of the NCAA
has to be what is being done
about them on a national scale,
the conference level and the institution level. The NCAA has contributed as much as any other
interest in our society in the last
four years in helping change pub-

If you're tired of the usual
spring break beach scene, the
N a t i o n a l C o l l e g i a t e Sports

alternative to interest you.
The NC SF is holding its second
National Collegiate Sports Festival in Daytona Beach, Fla., on
March 9-13,16-20,23-27 and April
13-17. The festival consists of
intercollegiate intramural competition in sporting events. The
competition is open to any college
willing to send a team to Daytona
Beach for spring break.
The winning teams each week
qualify for a Final Four Competition to be held on Sept. 26 and 27.
The NCSF will furnish the travel

However, because of the war
with the Contras, the Nicaraguan economy is still having a
difficult time recovering from the
many years of neglect by the
Samosa government, Widell said.
The war forces the government to
engage in unpopular policies,
such as the draft, which forces
them to engage more control over
the people;
He said their economic disparity caused by the Contras forces
them to seek assistance from a
major world power, such aa the4*
Soviet Union, which is precisely
the opposite of- the objective of
U.S. policy.
As President Reagan claims to
be on a "Freedom Crusade," hiepolicies are forcing Nicaragua
into the hands of "the enemy "

States should revamp its policy
. regarding Nicaragua entirely. It
should withdraw all support of
the Contra rebels, thereby causing their demise. Then, the United States should seek to negotiate with the S a n d i n i s t a n
government and lift all economic
restrictions regarding Nicaragua.
This will allow the Nicara, guans to no longer rely on the

he said. If the United States follows these policies it will ease

It is possible to stay on the program for four years, Pearson

Griffin said he plans to have a

Owens was 'invaluable ally' 2?0?J&


By Jeff Soileau
Staff Writer
" J e s s e O w e n s ' n a m e conjures
visions of excellence...He w a s a
person of unconquerabl e speed
a n d grace w h o achieved success
beyond t h e athletic field," Dr.'
William J. Baker, University of
M a i n e a n d history professor, said
Tuesday n i g h t a t Foy Union.
Baker, a u t h o r of a b i o g r a p h y of
Owens, said h e "chalked-up"
O w e n s ' athletic ability "to the
gods."
O w e n s ' life w a s t h e "classic
A m e r i c a n story," Baker said,
"It comes out of A l a b a m a poverty
a n d h i t s t h e track h u n g r y for
success."
Owens, born in Oakville, Ala.,
won four gold m e d a l s in t h e 1936
Olympics in Berlin G e r m a n y . His
fame "grew to epic proportions"
until his d e a t h , M a r c h 31, 1980,
according to Baker, who said
A m e r i c a n s t h e n "idolized him all
the more."
Baker said Owens "disappeared" from public view d u r i ng
t h e war, a n d after failing to
g r a d u a t e from Ohio S t a t e ,
worked for Ford Motor Co. a n d
w a s fired in 1945.
"In t e r m s of white m a i n s t r e a m
opinion, particularly, Jesse
Owens w a s totally lost," h e said.
In 1935-36 O w e n s w a s popular
in publications, Baker said, but
for a l m o st 15 y e a r s "Owens w a s
altogether gone from the popular
press."
Baker said by the early 1950s a
"trickle of a t t e n t i o n " w a s paid to
O w e n s a g a i n , which, b y t h e mid1950s, "rose to flood proportions."
"The prime ingredient in t h e
resurrection of J e s se Owens' repu t a t i o n w a s in the politics of the
Cold War," Baker said, who cited
Owens a s a n "invaluable ally" in
the anti-Communism crusade
which swept across t h e n a t i o n
during t h e 1950s.
"Owens served a s a symbolic
e m b o d i m e n t of, a n d a s a spokesm a n for, A m e r i c a n s , " Baker said.
Baker said that America's
t r e a t m e n t of its black citizens
h i n d e r e d p r o p a g a n d a effort s
after t h e war.
"America h a d to be concerned
with h o w to win Africa in allegiancethe 'Negro problem,' t h e
t e r m t h e y used in t h a t day, w a s
a n Achilles' heel," Baker said,
w h o cited t h e need for A m e r i c an
"black e x a m p l e s " to s h o w the
world t h a t C o m m m u n i s m should
be ousted.
T h e "black e x a m p l e " chosen
w a s O w e n s . " A m e r i c a n s looked
b a c k on t h e pre-war era a n d idealized t h a t era even t h o u g h t h e
Depression w a s going on," Baker
s a i d . " J e s s e O w e n s w a s of
a n o t h e r era."
B a k e r said two features of t h e
Cold War worked greatl y to t h e
a d v a n t a g e of Owens' popularity.
"Immediately after t h e war,
Americans transferred their
h a t r e d for Nazi G e r m a n y to the
Soviet Union...Owens h a d beaten
t h e G e r m a n s on their own homel a n d a n d disproved the theory of
racial supremacy.
"I a m convinced t h a t Jess e
Owens lead t h e merge of Nazi
G e r m a n y a n d the Soviet Union
in t h e America n i m a g e of totalita r i a n i s m , " h e said.
B a k e r said t h a t t h e i m p o r t a n c e
placed on t h e Olympics by politic i a n s a n d the press also nurtured
Owens' worldwide popularity.
Political a s s a u l t s took place
u n d e r t h e guise of athletic events,
Baker said. Owens, however,

"believed in w h a t he represented," h e said.


"Most of all, Owens assured
A m e r i c a n s t h a t their system w a s
essentially fair, t h a t A m e r i c a n
democracy worked for t h e good of
everybody," Baker said. "And for
black audiences h e insisted t h a t
one should be patient, t h a t one
s h o u l d v o t e for p r o g r e s s i v e
improvement...Owens scarely
n e v e r a c k n o w l e d g e d t h e civil
rights movement and never
dreamed of joining it."
O w e n s popularity grew also in
t h e busines s world, Baker said.
"He (Owens) w a s sent out in the

1950s with a m e s s a g e for t h e


world...that in t h e United States
unlike t h e Soviet Union, there
w a s still opportunity, a n d t h a t
even t h e poorest black boy c a n
m a k e it."
Owens enjoyed a six-figure
income t h e l a s t 20 y e a r s of h i s
life. "He got paid well for w h a t h e
did," Baker said.
"So long a s people suffer deprivation a n d strive to m a k e it to t h e
top, a n d so long a s people a t t h e
top need to see their success in
patriotic t e r m s , t h e story of Jess e
Owens will forever be embraced,"
h e said.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a problem everyone has


became conscious of within the past few
years. Almost every day it appears in the
newspapers, and Americans are finally
realizing the seriousness of the disease.
The federal government has taken
someaction towards the disease by making atHJ.S. military personnel be tested
frJrMDS^EHey should extend that to atl
gueminent employees.
You may argue testing is an invasion
of one's privacy, and rightly so, but how
private will it be when platoons of men
contract the disease and die? This testing is needed, at least to make others
aware.
Should companies or large corporations test for the disease? The world
would be a lot safer.
And what about state governments?
Shouldn't they have the right to test all
their employees for fear of spreading
this disease? Don't state employees
include Auburn University faculty and
people otherwise employed with the
University? This is an issue that
shouldn't be dodged.

The problem with testing is in the Way rights of AIDS victims to be defended,
we treat people with AIDS. People refuse but we are hypocritical in not really
wanting to have anything to do with
to treat them as human beings.

Fundamentalism to the blind rescue again

tw uam

\i i-ci f csaiaxui.d

Bret

PIPPEN
It's fundamentalism to the rescue
again.
Thank you, Jerry FalweH for founding
the Moral Majority and saving all of us
from ourselves.
From Greenville, Tenn., where a fundamentalist was given permission not to
read certain assignments at school
because the books' ideas were against
her religion, to U.S. Attorney General
Edwin Meese, who decided that parading naked men and women in front of the
public would turn us hito mad, slobbering rapists, to the most recent aberration
of justice in Mobile, where U.S. District
Judge William Brevard Hand banned 45
textbooks from Alabama public schools
because they promoted a religion called
secular humanism.
Thank you, FalweH for using your
group to suppress ideas, knowledge and
lifestyles.
No longer will the Amerikan public be
confused as to who is right or wrong.
Creationism is right, evolution is wrong.
Free will is wrong, God's will is right.
Long hair is wrong, whitewalls are
right.

It's is so clear to the public now. There


are no gray areas. One either believes
and is saved from the eternal damnation
of Hell or isn't.
Ideas such as self-actualization have
been termed wolves in sheeps' clothing.
Great novels such as Daisy Miller,
Alice in Wonderland and A Catcher in
the Rye have been grouped with magazines such as Penthouse, Playboy and
Hustler.
Thank you, FalweH for teaching the
public that other religions are nonsense.
There is only one true God. Let us destroy those that believe differently: the
Buddhist, the Hindu, the Jew, the Christian Scientist, etc.
While your group is, figuratively or
literally, burning books or records that
your group finds offensive, don't forget
to throw in the U.S. Constitution and
fuel the fire.
Ideas such as the freedom of religion
or freedom of speech have no place in a
fundamentalist society.
It is truly amazing that, in the bicentennial year of the Constitution, people
such as the Moral Majority have forgotten what the founding fathers meant.
They wanted one nation indivisible,
but composed of diverse people with
diverse ideas. Without the exchanging
of ideas, a society tends to stagnate.
After Hand's decision in Mobile, the
Associated Press quoted Judith Whorton of Mobile saying, "Someone has

always got to pay the price for freedom.


Ours is minor compared to our forefathers, who died. Freedom is something
that's so fragUe."
In this case, it is the Alabama public
school students who have to pay a tremendous price the price of adults'
ignorance at the cost of new ideas.
Now that the courts and fundamentalists have decided what textbooks should
be used or not be used, what's next?
Next will be the invasion of the privacy of the American home. Soon the
ordinary citizen will be forced to make
decisions based on the beliefs of others.
Laws will be adopted by politicians
whose careers depend on the fundamentalist vote. Men and women will be
forced to carry a Bible in one hand and
clutch a cross in the other. Extreme?
Maybe.
More than likely, Hand's decision wHl
be overturned by a higher court, just like
his decision for a state public school
prayer law.
But this textbook decision, obviously
influenced by fundamentalist beHefs, by
a man who was appointed to represent
the Amercian judicial system makes
anything possible. It represents, as
former U.S. Rep. John Buchanan, R.Ala., said, a "judicial.book-burning."
Justice you are truly blind.

It was a match box, but that's the last
thing I figured would be in it.
"What's in it?" I asked with more than
just a Uttle apprehension in my voice.
"Matches, dumbbell!" said Henry with
a grin. "Come on let's go!"
He tugged on my old red and white
pullover, which I had worn now for several days running, and I followed obediently. We scurried around the rickety
woodshed, past the big dirt pile, until we
reached the worn path which led to the
outhouse.
A few skips up the path and before we
knew it we were in the outhouse gawking
at the ladies underwear section in the
crumpled Sears catalogue. Henry ripped
out a cluster of pages which we didn't
have too much use for anywaymostly
women's shoes, luggage and what not.
We worked busily balling up each
page and stacking one on top of the
other, until we had quite a formidable

pleasantly warm beneath your bare feet.
My cousin Henry and I, having just
slain at least a dozen or so bears, were
taking our fill of the forbidden sour
apples which grew on a tree just behind
the coliseum (garage).
We leaned back on the old white wall
and watched as the sun's rays flickered
through the leaves of the young apple
tree. Having had one eye blackened in
pursuit of the heavyweight championship of the world, I gazed about a little
nervously through my one good eye. If
Henry's sister should come upon us,

I might have flown for all I know, but
the next thing I knew I was in grandma's kitchen with Henry filling up
glasses of water at the kitchen sink.
Neither one of us were very thirsty, but
that water would have been of more use
in our bellies than on that fire.
If the truth be known, I believe there
was more water spilt on the path leading
to the outhouse than actually reached it.
Anyway, after a few trips through the
kitchen, grandma naturally got a Uttle
suspicious.
In the end, I don't know which was the

poor old outhouse, grandma's face when
she looked out the kitchen window and
saw the charred remains, or our behinds

LettersWhatever happened to standing up for rights?


Editor, The Plainsman:
It has become apparent through
recent actions of our beloved administration that we are not enrolled in a university at all, but are voluntary subjects
of a dictatorship. While a university is
not necessarily a place where students
are to be given decision-making responsibility equal to that of the administration; neither is it a place where an individual or group of individuals should be
granted absolute rule without consideration for the rights of those whom they
are to educate.
I have been a student here for two
years, and during that time I have read
letters to the editor regarding subjects
ranging from parking to the researchover-teaching controversy to the unfair
distribution of funds. Many, if not most,
of these letters were from students who
felt they were being treated unfairly.
While I have not read every letter and
article that has appeared in this paper, I
have read most, and I have never read
even one from the administration
expressing concern for the opinions of
the students, nor do I recall any compromises made in response to complaints expressed either through this
medium or through any other channel.
This leads me to believe we are being
ignored.
Being ignored, however, is not nearly
as serious as being repressed. This past
week, students desiring to express their
opinion (an opinion I disagree with,

incidentally) on an issue of national


i m p o r t a n c e requested U n i v e r s i t y
approval to stage a protest near the
a v i a r y , a l o n g the Haley-Parker
concourse.
Their petition included a request that
they be allowed to camp overnight as a
vigil for their cause, and it was denied by
University officials because of a regulation against camping on University
property. Really?
What about the alumni who camp out
every weekend during football season,
drinking alcohol and peacefully enjoying themselves (The drinking is also
against a regulation, but neither regulation is enforced in those cases). Why is it
that rules are more applicable to students who challenge convention than to
people who are out to have a good time?
It is quite obvious this administration
has no regard for the desires of the students whom they are to serve. What?
What do you mean, "serve!?" Little reasoning ability is needed to deduce while
we indeed do not pay for the majority of
our education here, the taxpayers of
Alabama, who pay for what we do not,
are led to believe their dollars are going
to educate students.
Neither does it take a genius to know
that, while research is certainly important, the primary function of a university is to educate its students. Therefore,
students are the primary basis for the
existence of this school and consequently, for the jobs of those who are
employed here.

l a m writing this letter in regard to the


column "No tears shed for AU Band"
that appeared in the Entertainment section of the March 5 Plainsman.
There are two things I find troubling
about this column.
The first is how the column blatantly
passes off one person's opinion for news.
If The Plainsman is going to be a real
NEWSpaper as it is proclaimed to be,
print real NEWS! If a staff writer wants
to present an opinion, have them write a
letter to the editor as the other students
of Auburn have to do.
The other aspect of this column I had

trouble swallowing was the mudslinging Tracey McCartney felt was necessary. Just because she wasn't happy in
the band doesn't give her the right to
abuse the organization in the school
newspaper.
I was also in the band this past fall.
Although I must admit it was not perfect, I don't fell it so bad as to be abused
in the manner in which McCartney
chose to do. Several of the complaints
she made about the band were trivial.
I couldn't believe she complained
about not being able to march with her
friend. What she didn't reveal about this
situation was that even if she was in a

Racism cause of black proponents


Editor, The Plainsman:
Racism is growing more prevalent
each passing day and the greatest contributors to the cause are the proponents
of black identity. Far too often we only
think in terms of white racism, and then
usually of some individuals in a white
robe wearing a cone-shaped head dress,
or the uneducated white laborer in his
overalls that the news media selects as a
white spokesman.
Most of the black leadership realizes
that open white racism is moving
rapidly into the ranks of the educated
and affluent whites. It has moved from
just the sheets in the street to the threepiece business suit. As the national
secretary for the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP) told a recent audience,
"beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing."
Following the turmoil of the civil
rights activist of the 1960s, the vast
majority of white Americans accepted
the concept of equal opportunity. Now,
mainly through the threats of black
leaders, those suffering from white guilt
and white politicians, who fall over
themselves in bidding for the black vote,
black identity has become an absolute
necessity.
That is now the rub. Affirmative
action brought with it quotas, either
defined or implied, and set asides. On
many government contracts, blacks
only compete with blacks. Scholarships
are set aside for blacks only, therefore
blacks only compete with blacks. Whites
face this in the labor market: white
quota filled; only blacks need apply.
Here at Auburn University we have
the strange quota: fill a professorial
position with a black and another position will be added to your budget
which translates roughly: hire a black
and get a white free!
The day Auburn accepted its first
black student, it was not the presence of
a black on the campus that frustrated
people, but the delay caused by digging
out an ID card to enter the campus. We
had no fear of equal opportunity; free
c o m p e t i t i o n based on a c a d e m i c
achievement.
The question in the minds of many
whites today is, "Why can we have a

. Black Student Action Committee on the


campus, but just let someone suggest
having a White Student Action Committee? Why is there a society of black engineers, but heaven help the person that
would propose a white society? Why is it
acceptable to create scholarships for
blacks only, but to create the same for
whites is only unconstitutional? Why is
the NAACP nationally accepted as a
prestigious black identity organization,
while the National Association for the
Advancement of White People, which
supports white identity, is immediately
condemned without investigation as
being racist and subversive?"
There is a rapidly growing number of
Americans that feel they have truly tried
to help the blacks stand on their own two
feet, but they see no overall gains.
Instead, they see a growing disintegration of the entire society. The campaign
to create a guilt trip among whites for
being white must come to an end if we
wish to decelerate the growing friction.
Do not let the eyes be deceived. Behind
the jeans and flannel shirts of the media
labeled "white t r a s h " counterdemonstrators in Forsyth County were
affluent contractors, business men, college students and at least one main line
minister.

This letter is in response to the column


about the Auburn University Band written by Tracey McCartney in last weeks
Plainsman. I'm sure a lot of people read
that column and said to themselves
"There's a whiner in the marching
band." I assure them, that is not the
case. The opinion expressed by McCartney is shared by a majority of the
members of the band to a greater or
lesser degree. I have been in the band for
two years and I've come in contact with
nearly all of the 330 members, so I have a
basis for that statement. I believe
McCartney wrote that article not out of
malice for the people who run the band,
but as a last resort to let them know how

different squad, she would never be more


then 15-20 yards away from her friend. If
everyone in the band (330 members)
wanted to get their own way the result
would be utter chaos.
Another point she made in her column
was that the band members were not
given a reason for not marching in the
Citrus Bowl Parade. What McCartney
did not mention was that it was raining
at the appointed time for the parade to
begin. I feel the directors of the band
made a good decision based upon the
conditions to cancel our involvement in
the parade. I would not have liked to pay
for thousands of dollars of damage the
rain could have done to the schoolowned instruments, much less pay for
the damage to my own instrument.
I really enjoyed being in the band this
past fall. I felt that even though there
were a few things that could have been
clone better, the comaraderie ar.d the fellowship afforded by this group far outweighed the negative aspects.

Editor'a note: McCartney's column


was presented as a personal opinion and
not a news story, that is why her mug
was placed above the column. Staff writers present personal opinions
in
columns and are prevented from writing
letters to the editor, where the space is
reserved for the opinions of our readers.
The Plainsman received several letters
from band members, but was not able to
print them all in an effort to publish letters on different subjects.

This letter is in regard to Chris


Roush's column in the March 5 Plainsman. I must confess that, until recently,
Roush has provided us with interesting
material worth reading.
However, Roush's last column, concerning his own personal opinion about
students skipping classes, insults thousands of students who can reasonably
justify their absence in particular
classes. I happen to be one of those
students.
I am not proud of this fact, but nevertheless, it does happen. Many courses at
Auburn, particularly management
courses, do not demand daily attendance. I have found the lecture format
used in many classes coincides exactly
with the class textbook(s). Furthermore,
questions on tests and final exams pertaining to these classes are primarily
taken (verbatum) from the teacher's edition of the class text. Therefore, attending class under these circumstances is,
for some, obsolete.
Many students, including myself,
realize the opportunity loss involved in
this situation. Why bore yourself to
death attending these classes when your
retention factor relating to a particular
teacher's lecture is zero. Remember
Roush, this is America, spelled with a c.

Editor, The Plainsman:


Since I have been an Auburn student I
have watched as drivers and pedestrians have played dodge on campus
streets. Many times, pedestrians refuse
to use crosswalks and drivers must hastily apply their brakes to avoid hitting
them.
At other times, cars don't slow down at
crosswalks even though a pedestrian
may be waiting to cross. These and similar situations could be avoided by a little cooperation and mutual consideration on the part of both pedestrians and
drivers.
Pedestrians, show some consideration; use crosswalks and look both ways
even if you feel you have the right of

bad the morale really is among the


members.
Although McCartney may have been
a little harsh in some of her descriptions,
she was accurate in saying the people
running the band are the nicest in the
world and I believe sincerely that when
they realize the magnitude of the problem they will do something about it and
listen to our grievances.
I intend to stay in the marching band
until I graduate regardless of how low
the morale gets because I love marching
at the games. I just hope that the next
few years will be a little more enjoyable
than the last two.

Exercising our freedom of choice


shouldn't be criticized by a college
newspaper editor.
During my freshman and sophomore
years at Auburn, daily class attendance
was essential if you wanted to do well in
history, English and other statusrelated courses. Test formate for these
courses were, as I recall, based on notes
and other relevant material obtained
from one's attendance in class.
With regard to your definition of
maturity, I must question your competence as an editor. Although most of us,
including you, are familiar with the
broad definition of maturity, this word
has different meaning to different
people.
I do agree though, that students who
fail to attend their classes daily have no
justification for gripes and complains
they may exhibit. However, everyone at
this University is entitled to their own
opinion. With respect to your comments
on ignorant students, your opinion is
strictly, personal. Of course, your parents will be proud of your gallant
attempt to change the attitudes and
behaviors of ignorant and educationallydeprived students. Keep up the good
work, Roush, I hear the Peace Corp is
looking for a few good men.

Isn't it enough that we (out-of-state

McCartney's opinion shared in band


Editor, The Plainsman:

Editor, The Plainsman:

Why, then, are we being ignored like


some stray dog that will go away if not
attended to? The reason is that we are
not making our wishes known through
the proper forum. I am proud of The
Plainsman; it is one of the finest campus
newspapers in the country, but it is powerless as an instrument of expression
when we do not follow through with the
views we express through it. We are
being ignored because The Plainsman
and our letters are ignored by the
administration.
Since this means of expression is ineffective, I suggest we find a more direct
method of letting the administration
know how we feel. I am not saying we
should storm Samford Hall, throwing
rotten tomatoes. Instead, we should
write directly to the officials who are
responsible to us, and if that doesn't
work, then get together with others who
share our opinion on an issue and collectively make our presence known. From
past experience, though, I suggest storing a few over-ripe tomatoes away just
in case.
What all this boils down to can be
expressed in a nutshell by something I
once read on a bathroom wall at Florida
State: "Whatever happened to the '60B?
Whatever happened to the times when
we stood up for our rights and got
involved?"

It's just a group of girls moving from one

us in the least that we're leaving "our"

one year we're going to have a beautiful
new dorm to move into, one without
asbestos! So, let's move to the Quad! At
least we'll have a shorter walk to Haley

By the way, I'm a senior living offcampus, and this matter will not concern me the least.

Go Communist and go hungryfor bread, truth


Editor, The Plainsman:
How sadly and ironically appropriate
that supporters of the Communist
regime in Nicaragua should fast! For all
Communist states may expect to go
hungry.
Some hunger is the result of the disasterous farm policies of Commmunist
states, with statistics comfirmed by the
FAO. Other hunger is the deliberate
starvation-terror used by these Godless
regimes to kill resistors.
Robert Conquest's Harvest of Sorrow
irrefutably documents the starvationterror imposed on the Ukraine in 1932-33
by Stalin. Five million men, women and
children starved there, another two million elsewhere, with another seven and a
half million shot or sent to their deaths
in the Gulag. The Communists confiscated all grain and foodstuffs and established a border guard to prevent food
being sent in, even by relief agencies.
The Ukrainians, in their breadbasket
farmland, ate earthworms and died. Go
Communist and go hungry.
Similar terror-tactics were used
recently against Ethiopians. When
found out, C o m m u n i s t s blamed
"drought," yet these farmers had survived many droughts and had increased

their food production by 15 percent per


capita in the period since World War II
until Communists took over in the '70s
(Colin Clark, The Myth of Overpopulation). Go Communist and go hungry.
Armando Valladares in Against all
Hope, tells how he, a bank clerk who had
not allowed a Communist slogan to be
put on his desk, lost 30 pounds in five
days for "biological experimentation" in
Castro's prison. An Auburn citizen who
fled Cuba in 1964toldhow children there
who attended Mass were denied their
school lunches the next week. Go Communist and watch your children go
hungry.
Steve Mosher in "A Mother's Ordeal"
(Reader's Digest, February 1987) tells
how Communist China faces their failure to feed their people: forced abortions
and infanticide.
But there is one crop Communists
export: Lies. The massive deceptions of
the USSR (the Soviet ambassador to
Canada in 1983 denied there was a
Ukrainian famine and denounced a TV
documentary of its 60th anniversary, a
documentary of which I have a copy),
Cuba (on Meet the Press, April 19,1959,
Castro declared he was not Communist),
Red China (which persuaded Stanford
University to expel Mosher for revealing

the truth of their policies) are also true of


Nicaragua.
In Nicaragua: A Revolution in the
Family, Shirley Christian, reporter for
the Miami Herald, explodes the lies
exported to the United States and establishes clearly the Communist nature
and intentions of the Sandanistas and
the role played by foreign revolutionaries, chiefly Cuba.
She tells us the Maryknoll publishing
house was headed by a secret Sandanista, Miguel D'Escoto, who became
Nicaragua's foreign minister after the
takeover; it was through the Mary knolls
that the lies were disseminated to Tip
O'Neill, et al. As for supposed Contra
crimes, we know from Jeane Kirkpatrick
how Communists accuse their enemies
of their own crimes!
In October 1986, Senora Violete Chamorra, publisher of La Prenza before
Ortega closed down this last newspaper
in Nicaragua, in a televised speech to the
National Press Club in Washington,
declared: "Under the Marxist-Leninist
regime of Daniel Ortega, freedom is dead
and the truth has been crushed!"
Go Communist and go hungry for
bread and for truth.

Band critiqued unfairly by lousy writer


Editor, The Plainsman:
One bad thing about listening to a
young band, like reading works by an
untrained, inexperienced writer, is that
one has to suffer through a few blundered powerchords, or mangled sentences, whichever the case may be, to
appreciate what the artist is doing.
This letter is written on behalf of a few
friends of mine who collectively call
themselves the Surge. After "suffering"
through the maze of abused verbs and
choppy words that Plainsman writer
Adam Whitley tried to organize into
sentences in his story "Surge needs to
mature," a response seems in order.
While Whitley is entitled to his own
opinion, factual errors in his sloppy
journalism can't be tolerated. For example, the would-be writer quotes someone
in the band as saying audience response
to the band ranged from "spectacular
disinterest to blah." C'mon. The guys

didn't say that. Would Whitley write


that his work ranges from literary crud
to garbage? If the group had said something that stupid, then Whitley should
have at least attributed the information.
Whitley notes the Surge's playlist
ranges from "roomfulls of Rush, to zillions of Zeppelin." Then he wrote the
band plays material similar to that
played on WEGL's heavy metal specialty show "Whiplash!" If he knew anything about the kind of music that program features, then he would know the
Surge does not play covers by Iron
Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica or anything else by the speed-metal mob.
Beside the point that his expression is
stupid, bands such as Rush and Led
Zeppelin are not played during the
"Whiplash!" program.
It's hard to believe Whitley can honestly review this band when he admits
he only watched them play for a few
minutes while he was drunk. Dave And-

erson, the group's drummer, remembers


talking to Whitley, but about the only
thing Whitley remembered from that
conversation is that the band was
formed last quarter.
Anderson, Ken Knight, Mike Ponder,
Larry Jones and Rich Lough were not
professional musicians when they
formed the Surge less than six months
ago. It's quite noteworthy the guys
found time in their electrical engineering class schedules to be in the group in
the first place; it's even more notable
they were playing for profit by January.
The band was "discovered" by area
club owners while they were playing to
capacity crowds of cheering music lovers at private parties in Auburn. They
should not be subject to such bad press
by such a lousy writer who can't even
back up his accusations.

Student leadership stipends are sufficient


Editor, The Plainsman:
In recent weeks an increasing amount
of discussion has been voiced concerning the appropriate stipends to be paid to
those students holding leadership positions on campus.
The issue w a s initially raised when
the Glomerata, claiming to be grossly
underpaid, presented a budget proposal
to the Budget and Finance committee
that asked for a 500 percent increase for
compensated positions. The Glomerata
contended that the total amount of student activity fees to go to its staff should
be increased from just over $2,000 a year
to $10,000 for the same period of time.
The SGA, UPC, WEGL-FM and Circle
Magazine did not ask for any increase in
stipends, yet the drastic increased called
for by the Glom raised the attention of
many individuals.
A student senate committee w a s

formed to further study the question and


proposed that because student stipends
were not in line with comparable programs at other universities, there were a

number of i n c r e a s e s t h a t were
necessary.
With such a limited scope of evaluation, however, the committee failed to
recognize several considerations that
make the current stipends quite appropriate. The students involved with these
leadership positions have a unique
opportunity; they are responsible for setting the policy and providing the entertainment for a student body of more the
19,000.
While working on various projects,
campus leaders gain experience that is
unmatched by the vast majority of their
peers; this experience is highly valued
by employers, graduate schools and professional schools.
Certainly the time and personal
expense involved with these positions is

worthy of some compensation; but given


the added benefit of student leadership
positions, the current sums are
sufficient.

Editor, The Plainsman:

I would like to take this opportunity to


thank Deb Liddell for a job well done. As
coordinator of special programs, Liddell
has been the prime force behind the program since its inception. Program
accomplishments have been beyond
expectation and of benefit to both the
special populations served and the University community at large.
It wasn't always easy, but with Liddell's perserverance, the commitment of
a few individuals and many long hours,
the Special Programs office created new
and unique programming relevant to
the needs of Auburn University. I hope
programs like the World's Fair and the
future. From this perspective, then, the activities surrounding Black History

Students can't expect to dictate policy


Editor, The Plainsman:
If I may be allowed a rebuttal to the
letter from Amanda Flowers: I absolutely agree that students have EVERY

the policies and procedures of the University. Indeed, to the extent which that
expression can bring about constructive
change, we have an obligation to do so.

The point of my earlier letter, however,

was that students cannot expect, merely


by virtue of their tuition payments, to be
able to dictate policy to the administration. This is so in part because of the
relatively low percentage of University
costs covered by tuition; but in a broader
sense, it is also true because as students,
we are not so much "customers" of the
University as we are its "products." In
real senses, universities-especially public ones-"work for" society as a whole, to

NCAA challenges await Tigers


Women take SEC,
look for NCAA 1

Menface
Everyone
Toreros
welcome
in NCAA's tonight
The NCAA basketball tournament is beginning to resemble
the National Hockey League
playoffs. The suspense isn't in
who gets in, but who doesn't.
These days, the NCAA invites
64 clubs to its little party, so a
team sometimes has to work not
to get in the affair.
It's difficult to find 64 worthy
teams to fill out the tourney field.
Wins and losses aren't always
the main criterion for entry into
the tourney. Things such as
strength of schedule and tradition seem almost as important in
the selection process now.
If the NCAA was judging
strictly on won-loss percentage,
Auburn wouldn't have been
invited. Let's face it, 17-12 simply
isn't that impressive. The Tigers
were helped by not playing any
Division II teams. Auburn lost
close games to Alabama and
Kentucky and also took a win
against the Wildcats. Kentucky
was helped by its tradition. The
Wildcats were 18-11 which is
good, but not impressive. A win
against Oklahoma on national
television didn't hurt them.
Georgia Tech was 16-12, but its
recent winning tradition and
playing in a tough conference
(Atlantic Coast) went in its favor.
The odd part of this is years
ago, when the NCAA's allowed
only 32 teams into the field, some
good Alabama and Auburn
teams were left in the cold.
In 1974, Alabama shared the
conference crown and went 22-4
overall. They also stayed home
that year. In 1975, Auburn went
18-8. They also went nowhere, as
did the '59 and '60 teams which
were 19-3 and 20-2, respectively.
Moving to the present, Auburn
has an unenviable path ahead of
it. The Tigers face San Diego on
Thursday in the Hoosier Dome in
Indianapolis. If Auburn wins, its
next opponent would likely be
surprise Indiana.
Its an understatement to say
Indiana has a homecourt advantage. Auburn wouldn't have an
enviable task taking on the Hoosiers in front of 40,000-plus
screaming, scarlet-clad fans. Is
there an analogy here? Maybe
the Christians against the lions
in the Coliseum?
Speaking of the Hoosiers, they
must be considered a favorite in
the tourney, not just because of
their bracket, but because they
are a solid team.
As usual, the North Carolinas
and Georgetowns will be the
favorites. But every year produces its share of upsets. Who will
be the Villanova or North Carolina State of 1987?
The NCAA is a chance for the
different conferences to show
their stuff. Last year the SEC
placed four teams Auburn,
LSU, Kentucky and Alabama
in the final 16, and Auburn made
the final eight and LSU the final
four.
One conference which has
fared poorly in recent NCAA play
is the Big 10. This year the conference has had four of the top 10
teams in Indiana, Illinois,
Purdue and Iowa. One problem
with the conference is its style of
play. The teams play about as
phsical as their football counterparts, but the referees won't allow
as much roughhousing in the
NCAAs.
The Big East isn't the force it
was two years ago, when Georgetown, St. John's and Villanova
each made the final four, but they
certainly will flex their muscle
again.
The ACC is always tough, but
on paper only North Carolina
and possibly Clemson appear to
have the tools to make a serious
run.
A conference which could make
noise in the tourney is the Big
Eight.

Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers will be
making their fourth-straight
NCAA Tournament appearance
today when they venture to Indianapolis' Hoosier Dome to take
on the San Diego Toreros in the
first round of the Midwest
Regionals.
Auburn will carry a 17-12
record into the game. The Tigers
have a 5-3 worksheet in previous
NCAA games, making their way
to the "Elite 8" of the tournament
last season, posting wins over
Arizona, St. John's and UNLV
before losing to eventual national
champion Louisville.
San Diego won the regularseason championship in the West
Coast Athletic Conference and
holds a 24-5 overall record. The
Toreros have been a member of
Division I athletics for eight seasons and are making their second
NCAA appearance.
"San Diego will present a difficult challenge for us," Auburn
head coach Sonny. Smith, said.
"They have won 14 games in a
row, they have a center (Scott
Thompson) who is a finesse
player despite his size (7-0, 260
pounds) and they run a ballcontrol style offense."
Auburn has never played San
Diego, but Smith and Toreros'
head coach Hank Egan have
faced each other once before. In
1980, Auburn lost to Egan's Air
Force squad in the opening round
of the Blade Grass Classic by a
score of 48-46.
"Hank is part of a 'coaches'
league'," Smith said. "The WCAC
coaches use a lot of varied
defenses and have a good knowledge of the game. Hank is a
Bobby Knight disciple, so he will
be up for the game."
Funny that Smith should mention Knight, because the winner
of Auburn's game will face the
winner of the Indiana-Fairfield
game on Saturday afternoon.
Knight is the head coach of the
Hoosiers, and the home-court
advantage should be in Indiana's
favor. Smith isn't looking to
Saturday's game though.
"Hank has a perfect setup,"
Smith explained, "because he's
facing a team that could overlook

Conference for the past three seasons," Smith said. "They also
have a guard, Paul Leonard, who
is pretty good. They might be like
Florida if they have that much
talent. I talked to a coach who
saw them earlier in the year and
he compared them to last year's
Arizona team (Auburn's first
opponent in the NCAAs in
1986)."
Smith was also hard-pressed to
compare this year's up-and-down
Auburn squad to his previous
NCAA teams, although the five
starters have a combined total of
11 years experience in the
national tournament.
"We're not the same as last
year, the year before, or the year
before that," Smith explained.
"We are in the same situation as
were three years ago when we
faced Richmond (a first-round,
72-71 loss). If we had won, we
would have played Indiana.
Richmond had a team similar to
San Diego, with a big center and
good capabilities."

ALBANY, Ga. - The Lady


Tiger basketball team accomplished the second of their three
pre-season goals Saturday night
when they won the SEC Tournament with a 83-57 win over
Georgia at the Albany (Ga.) Civic
Center.
The Lady Tigers had already
achieved their first goal of winning the conference's regular
season title. Lady Tiger head
coach Joe Ciampi said his squad
is ready to take aim at the third
goal.
"We have two jewels on the
crown now. We have one more to
go and that's to win the NCAA
Championship. We are determined to obtain that one,"
Ciampi said.
Auburn, now 29-1, will begin
their quest of that third goal this
Saturday night as they will play
host to the winner of Thursday's
Illnois-Bowling Green game.
Prior to beating Georgia, the
second-ranked Lady Tigers beat
cross state rival Alabama 89-61
and eighth-ranked Tennessee
102-96 to advance to the finals. .
Auburn won the' title game
with what has won the majority
of their games defense.
The Lady Tigers recorded 16
steals and forced Georgia into
making 24 turnovers in the game.
They also held Georgia AllAmerican Katrina McClain, who
came in averaging almost 26
points a game, to just nine points.
'The key to the ball game was
to put pressure on whoever had
the ball. We also wanted to take
away the passing lanes from
McClain and make them (Georgia) prove to us that they could
shoot from the outside," Ciampi
said.
Georgia coach Andy Landers
agreed that Auburn's defense
was the difference.
"Auburn did a good job of
attacking everything we threw at
them," Landers said. "They did
an excellent job on Katrina. She
missed shots that she doesn't
normally miss."
While the defense bottled
Georgia's offense up, Auburn
sophomore Vickie Orr was dominating the offensive end.
Orr scored a career high 32
points and grabbed 12 rebounds
against the fifth ranked Lady
Bulldogs. Orr ended up scoring 72
points and claiming 21 rebounds
j during Auburn's three games to
win the tournament's Most Valuable Player award.
"We don't consider Vickie a
sophomore any more," Ciampi
said. "I think that this is a stepping stone to her goals down the
future and that's to be playing
basketball in 1988. There is no
reason why she can't be a part of
I the Olympic team down the
| road."
In addition to Orr, Diann
McNeil and Mae Ola Bolton were
I named to the all-tournament
team. McNeil scored 48 points,
including a 16 point performance
I in the final game. She also had
[four key steals against Georgia.
I Bolton had 35 points during the
tournament with 20 of them coming against Tennesee.
Auburn also got ah outstanding performance from point guard
Helene Baroody. She scored only
22 points during the three games,
but had 28 assists and eight
steals. Baroody had 12 assists in
the title contest.
The championship tilt against
Georgia was a lot closer than the
final 26 point margin. Georgia
lead 21-20 with six minutes left in
the first half when Auburn went
on a surge before halftime.
The surge began when Ruthie
Bolton stole a Georgia pass and
converted the steal into a 8-foot
bank shot to put Auburn in the
l e a d It was a lead that Auburn
wotjdfnever relinquish.
..Fallowing a Georgia miss,

Sharon Stewart hit on a short


jumper and was fouled in the process. Stewart hit the free throw to
put Aubum up 25-21. After a
Georgia basket, Auburn scored
six straight points to increase the
lead to eight at 31-23. The teams
traded three baskets apiece
before heading into the locker
room with Auburn leading 37-29.
Georgia stayed within striking
distance for most of the second
half and trailed by only nine at
58-49 with just under 10 minutes
left in the game. Auburn then
scored 14 unanswered points
with 11 of the 14 coming from Orr
to go up 72-49 and destroy any
chance of a Georgia comeback.
Auburn got to the finals after
beating Alabama and Tennessee.
In the Alabama game, the Lady
Tigers scored 20 of the last 22
points in the first half to turn a
26-23 lead into a 46-26 halftime
advantage. The Lady Tigers were
never serioulsy threatened after
that.
The Lady Tigers did have some
problems in the semifinals
against Tennesee in a game in
which combined 60 fouls were
called on both teams.

Selection J
to worries
By Alan d e m o n s
Assistant Sports Editor
A tennis match was in progress
on the big-screen television last
Sunday at the Sonny Smith
household, but serves and volleys
weren't dancing in the mind of
Auburn's head basketball coach.
"I just don't know about it,";
Smith said nervously, refering to
his team's chances of gaining a
fourth-straight NCAA Tournament berth. "I think the game
against Alabama may have kept
us out of it."
Smith had nothing to worry
about after the official announcement came though, because the
Tigers were placed in the strong
NCAA Midwest region, seeded
eighth out of the 16 teams in that
region.
"We were in it all along and
here I was worrying about it,"
Smith said, the relief in his voice
reflecting the mood. 'They have
us as one of the top 32 teams in
the country. How about that?"
Auburn will face the San Diego
Toreros, winners of the regularseason championship in the West
Coast Athletic Conference, today
at 6:07 CST in the Hoosier Dome
in Indianapolis, Ind. The Toreros
are 24-5 and are the ninth-seeded
team in the Midwest region.
The winner of that game will
play the winner of the IndianaFairfield matchup at the Hoosier
Dome, Indiana's home court, on
Saturday. CBS-TV will televise
the game.
Waiting with Smith and justas
nervous were his wife Jan,
daughter Sherri, and assistant
coaches Lawrence Johnson, Rick
Boling and Phil Worrell. The tenseness dissipated after the name
"AUBURN" flashed on the
screen, with hugs and wide
smiles becoming the norm.
Smith's initial reaction was a
leap off the couch, a clap of hands
and a loud "Aw' right!" But then
he became serious, looking ahead
at a tough San Diego team and
the Challenge of playing in the
Hoosier Dome.
"I know thay have a sevenfooter and a pretty good guard,
but that's about all right now/' he
said. "We won't get any film on
them until later on in the week,
but we will probably talk to several coaches out west"

Update: Auburn has never played the Toreros, but Sonny Smith has matched
coaching wits against San Diego's head coach, Jack Egan. Auburn played Air

brings a 24-5 record and the West Coast Athletic Conference championship into

Plainsman Sports Commentary

ESTES

Song's over
folks, I am
out of here

Taking one final look at sports


and life in general.
This, at long last, is my final
column for The
Plainsman.
Exactly two weeks from today I
will begin an internship at The
Birmingham Post-Herald covering, of all things, news (yuck).
Then, sometime in early June, I
will officially graduate from this
great institution of higher education I call home and enter the real
world.
All I can say is Hell yeah, it's
about time!
I have no idea what I will be
doing after graduation. I will
probably join the ranks of the
unemployed and spend all day
sitting at home drinking beer and
watching sporting events on
cable.
One t h i n g is for certain,
though. I will not miss this place.
Now don't get me wrong. I have
had a great time during my years
at Auburn. I have done things
these past four years that I have
never done before and will probably never do again.
But I sure had fun doing them

while I was here.


I will miss my friends, the parties, the beautiful women, the
parties, the football and basketball games, the parties and the
cheap beer.
The problem with this town is
there are too many problems, if
that makes any sense. The things
I will not miss include:
The campus cops...the city
cops...the "stprmtroopers" who
ride around on their little go-carts
handing out tickets...the roads...
drop-and-add...classes at 8
a.m...in fact, classes in general
...teachers who speak with such a
heavy accent you don't know
what they are saying...walking to
class in the rain.
Fast-food places closing before
midnight on the weekends...the
dullness of winter quarter...the
dullness of most of my classes...the dullness of listening to a
cop telling me why he is giving
me yet another ticket...the traffic..the parking situation...the
trains that stop in town and back
up traffic for 20 minutes.
The guy who threw me out of
Krystal's last year...the cop who
took my bottle before the Tennessee game...cable television that
does not have WGN and the Cubs
games...having two finals on the
same day...having a final on the
last day...in fact, finals in general
...all the slop caused by construction on campus.
The elevators in Haley Center...the attitude of many of the
locals that students are scum...
the attitude of all of the cops that
students are scum...the way road
crews fix potholes by throwing a
shovel full of gravel in them...the
absence of a putt-putt golf course...the absence of a good doughnut shop-

Also before I leave there is a


matter I would like to clear up
concerning the basketball team. I
have learned that Coach Sonny
Smith is upset with some of the
things that have been written
about him in this paper.
I will admit that, at times, I
have been critical of the team's
performance and Smith's coaching this season. Let's face it, the
season has not gone like many
fans thought it would.
But I have meant nothing personal in any of my columns. Like
any other Auburn fan I have seen
problems in the basketball team
this year and I have pointed them
out.
I have nothing but the highest
respect for Smith. He came to
Auburn and took a program that
was going nowhere and turned it
into a winner. That Auburn fans
are upset because the Tigers went
only 17-12 this season is proof of
just how far the program has
progressed under Smith.
Most of what I wrote this year
was meant only as a joke, though
apparently it was hot taken that
way. When you start taking
sports too seriously you lose
perspective of what the games
are meant to be.
Finally, I would quickly like to
thank a few folks who have made
my years at Auburn the best of
my life. In no particular order,
thanks Laura, Kevin, Dave, Paul,
John, Mark, Neil and Woody.

Moment
of glory
for Estes

Like him or not, this column is


dedicated to a good friend and coworker, Cary Estes, whose ugly
mug is above that other column
over there.
Why in the heck should I write
about him instead of some important, gut-grabbing sports news
that I probably don't know too
much about?
Well, probably because friends
are important to me and I doubt
seriously if Cary has ever had
more than a few inches of copy
devoted entirely to him in his life.
In a few short months, June 10
to be exact, Cary will (or should)
receive his sheepskin in front of
several thousand people, shake
hands with Dr. Mart' ^ and be off
into the real world.
Oooo, scary isn't it?
Many of you will be happy to
see him leave because you believe
he doesn't know anything about

Auburn
jumps out

The baseball team hit the road


last weekend and came home
with two extra-inning SEC victories. "I felt we played well especially coming back to win both
games," Coach Hal Baird said.
The Tigers opened their confrence schedule in Oxford, Miss.,
winning the first two games in
extra-innings before dropping a
10-2 decison on Sunday. Down by
one run in the seventh inning of
the first game, Ethan White hit a
two-out, full count single to score
Kevin Henry and send the game
into extra innings. Auburn eventually won 8-6. Gregg Olson got
the win in relief for Auburn. He
pitched three and two-thirds
innings, allowed four hits and
struck out four batters.
Stacy J o n e s pitched seven
innings in the second game Saturday before it was delayed
because of darkness. Jones gave
up just four hits and struck-out
six. The game was picked up on
Sunday and Gregg Olson pitched
one inning for the save. Pinch
r u n n e r Tommy Youngblood
moved to third base on a walk

inning. Kevin Henry then drove
him in to give Auburn a 2-1 vie-

trouble."

This past weekend, the play of


the Auburn's men golf team at
the Imperialakes Golf Classic
matched the gloomy weather
conditions it played under.
A tie for 20th with Virginia was
one that Coach Mike Griffin was
not expecting and certainly not
pleased with.
"We played very poorly," Griffin said. "We shot a 314 the first
day and a 303 the second day on a
golf course that we have shot
280's on in the past.
"Our finish was quite a shock
to me," Griffin said. "I felt confident that going into the tournament that we had some people
making progress and going in a
positive direction. Yet, we get
down there and the same people
that have been playing well continued to do so and the same people that have been playing poorly
continued to play poorly."
The one bright spot that shone
through Auburn's cloudy play
was the performance of Jody
Berklich, a player with whom
Griffin said he is quite pleased.
"I can't say enough about Jody
Berklich," Griffin said. 'This was
the third straight tournament
that he has played well in, shooting a total of 147 which was good
enough for a top 20 finish," Griffin said.

Griffin was also encouraged by


the progress of Jim Curran. "Jim
had a decent tournament, it
wasn't outstanding, but overall it
was a good performance, he said.
"Jim is a good, solid player and
I'm not too worried about him
right now."
Griffin said that at this point
his two top players are Berklich
and Curran. "Jody is doing a
great job on a team that is giving
him very little support and Jim is
probably getting as much out of
his game as anybody on the
team.

Letters to the Sports Editor-

NCAA's next for tracksters


By David Mundee
Staff Writer
The track team will be represented by eight men and two
women athletes this weekend as
they compete in the NCAA
C h a m p i o n s h i p s in Oklahom a
City, Okla.
The Tigers, who will have competitors entered in five events, got
a last NCAA qualifying mark
this past weekend at the Last
Chance meet in Bloomington,
Ind., as Sidney Reed came in third
place in the 60-meter hurdles with
a time of 7.90. (Reed will run in
the 55-meter hurdles at the
NCAA meet.)
The other Auburn athletes had
qualified at meets earlier this

year. Brian Jaeger, who figures


to have the best shot of any
Auburn athlete to win an event,
qualified at the Gator Open on
Feb. 15 with a time of 7:59.20 in
the 300 meters. He bettered his
time at the SEC Championships
on Feb. 28 when he ran 7:58.27 to
win first place honors.
Boris Goins qualified in the
long jump at the SEC meet as he
won the competition with a leap
of 25-8 3/4. Auburn's other individual qualifier is Daron Council
in the 60-yard dash as he qualified at the Kodak/Eastman meet
on J a n . 16-17 as he ran a time of
6.22.
Auburn's 4x800 relay team of
Steve Reed, Yul Provancha, Mitt
Fulmer and Mark Rabush also

qualified at the Kodak/Eastman


meet as they had a time of 7:28.97.
The two women's track
members who will make the journey to Oklahoma are Rosalind
Council a n d LaKeta Ziegler.
Council will try to win the indoor
55-meter hurdles for the second
straight year, while Ziegler will
compete in the triple jump. Council's best time in the hurdles is
7.67, which she ran at the Vitalis
Invitational in East Rutherford,
N. J. Ziegler had qualified for the
NCAA's on her last jump at the
SEC meet when she jumped 41-5
3/4. The mark was also good for
an Auburn school record.

Watt working to regain ^86 form for netters


By Lori D a n n
Staff Writer
After an outstanding freshman
season in which she posted a
team-best 25-12 singles record,
Sue Watt was expected by many
to perform miracles for the Lady
Tiger tennis team this season.
At the beginning of the season,
she wasn't fulfilling any expectations, including her own.
"I've played pretty average all
year," Auburn's No. 4 singles
player said. "I had my good
matches and my bad ones." She
said part of her problem then was
mental. "But lately I've gotten
my head together, and I think the
further into the season we get, the
better I'll be playing."
Watt said the turning point
came in the Wake Forest match
when she beat a girl she lost to
last season. "I came from behind
in the first set and won in
straight sets, 7-5, 6-3," she said.
"That's what told me that I had
my head back together and that I
could play well."
She said another reason for her
slow start was that she worked
during the summer and didn't get
to play much tennis. "When I got
back," she said, "I hadn't played
a match in three or four months,
so it took me a while to get back
into the swing of things. But I
really feel that I'm back to my old
self now."
Watt's coach, Al Parks, said he

is pleased with the progress she


has made since the beginning of
the season. "She's really worked
hard, and it's showing lately.
She struggled early, but in the
last month she's really come on
strong."
Parks said her primary asset is
her athletic ability. "Sue is a
great athlete," he said. "She's one
of the few girls who has the ability to serve, volley, stay back or
whatever. She has a complete
game. She can do it all."
Another of Watt's assets, Parks
said, is her attitude. "There isn't
anybody on the team that works
harder. She puts in all the time we
ask of her in practice, and she
also goes out and runs two and a
half miles and jumps rope on the
side."
"I hate to lose," Watt said. "I
will stay out on the court all day if
that's what it takes to win."
A native of Ontario, Canada,
Watt began playing tennis at
about 13. Before then she participated in many sports, including
skiing and figure skating.
She ranked among Canada's
top 10 singles players in the 18
and under division, and was also
in the top five in doubles
competition.
She wrote to about 149 schools
and received 75 replies, including
50 scholarship offers. After talking to people who knew about
schools in the states, she decided
to visit Auburn.

said, "I knew it was for me. The
people down here are so nice. I
just fell in love with this place the
minute I got here."
Watt said she is mainly a serve

"to get to the net and put the ball
away. The first chance I get, I'll
attack. I don't like hanging
around the baseline.
"My forehand is my biggest

Drugs

on the l i s t of prohibited
substances."
"A positive "A" test may
simply mean that the athlete has
taken a physician-prescribed
drug that happens to be grouped
with other illegal drugs," Wall
said. "A second test is then used
to pinpoint the specific drug,
prescribed or otherwise."
But the technology is not without a high price. A "routine drug
profile," a test for various "street
drugs" such as marijuana,
cocaine and codeine, costs about
$15 per test, Waldrop said. A test
for anabolic steroids costs about
$85 per test.
Only teams where "strength
and size would be an advantage"
are steroid-tested, Waldrop said.
"Alcohol testing is not in our
program," Waldrop said. Alcohol
only stays in the bloodstream a
few hours, making it difficult to
detect. By contrast, fatty tissues
can store oil-base steroids from
six to 14 months, he said.
Players attend educational
seminars at the beginning of
each year, Waldrop said. At these
seminars, they sign a consent to
be drug tested.
"It's a two-edged sword. We
sign our names to agree to be
tested, but if we don't sign they
don't let us play. What kind of
deal is that?" said sophomore
offensive tackle Pat Johnson.
"An athlete's refusal to take a
drug test is considered a positive
result," Waldrop said.
Nor is refusal an option for the
NCAA's mandatory testing of
championship events and bowl
games. The NCAA penalty for a
positive result is a 90-day suspension from competition, Waldrop
said. Auburn was among the 20
football teams chosen for bowl
testing, he said.
The drug tests are confidential.

jt Auburn JHamsman

B-7
continued from B-l

Waldrop said, and only the coach


and athlete are told if results are
positive. No figures are available
for release as to the number of
positive results from Auburn's
drug testing program, he said.
Pat Johnson took the NCAA
drug test but didn't play in the
1987 Citrus Bowl. Johnson said
he tested positive for anabolic
steroids he took last summer.
Johnson laughed at the idea of
test results being confidential. He
refused ABC's request to make a
halftime statement at the Citrus

Bowl, he said, and gave only a


brief statement to the Huntsville
Times.
Athletes are constantly
encouraged to become stronger,
he said. "You can either work out
and keep working at weight gain,
or you can take steroids it's like
fertilizing a plant. Steroids give
you more muscle to work with."
But Johnson draws a distinction between steroids and "street
drugs."
"With steroids the athlete is
trying to get better. If there was a

drug that increased IQ, then students as well as professors would


be taking it," he said.
Wall said steroids can "impair
an athlete's health for the rest of
his life...not to mention the unfair
competitive a d v a n t a g e they
create."
Unlike the NCAA's, Auburn
has its own set of drug testing
penalties. A first offender's parents are notified; he also must
attend counseling sessions and
undergo weekly drug tests, Waldrop said.

Second offense penalties are


the same, except the athlete is
suspended indefinitely, and drug
tests are twice-weekly.
On a third offense, there is
permanent suspension from the
team with no scholarship renewal, he said.
"Most of the drug abuse is in
t h e a r e a of p e r f o r m a n c e e n h a n c i n g drugs, not 'street
drugs,'" he said. The NCAA has
credited steroids in 80 percent of
its positive results.
Whether steroid or street drug,

the effectiveness of drug testing


is an issue. It's a definite deterrent. "I don't do it anymore
eventually they will catch you,"
Johnson said.
Drug testing is needed "to keep
everyone on their toes," said
sophomore tennis player
Suzanne Watt.
Many athletes agree drug testing is effective, yet many also
agree it is an invasion of privacy.
"Athletes do give up their privacy, but we're people, too," Stallworth said.

Thomson
proud of
men's team
Selena Roberts
Staff Writer
A bit road weary, the men's
tennis team came back from 10
days of travel out West, breaking
even in two tournaments which
fielded some of the top ranked
teams in the nation.
L a s t weekend, t h e Tigers
placed 10th in the 24-team HEB
I n v i t a t i o n a l College T e n n i s
Team Championships held in
Corpus Christi, Texas. "We had a
good tournament. It was the
second highest finish we'd ever
had there," head coach Hugh
Thomson said about his team's
performance.
The most positive aspect of
Auburn's play came in the doubles competition, Thomson said.
At one point, after the singles
competition, t h e Tigers were
down 4-2 to a tough University of
Arkansas-Little Rock team, but
were able to come back to sweep
the doubles matches.
"Being able to pull out a match
like that is the result of character
and grit," Thomson said. "This
attitude was displayed with some
excellent individual performances as well."
The only loss on the road for
Auburn's No. 1 player, Marcel
van der Merwe, came in Corpus
Christi against Cal State-Long
Beach, the eventual team winner
of the tournament. "He lost in
three sets to one of the best collegiate tennis players in the country," Thomson said.
But overall, there seemed to be
a different player each match
that who would raise their level of
play. "There wasn't just one
MVP," said assistant coach Russ
Boiling.

Hard play from the top six: van


der Merwe, P a t Cassidy, Kyle
Anderson, Ian Russell, Rockie
Mason and Lionel Ferreira contributed to the team's other wins
in t h e I n v i t a t i o n a l , topping
North Carolina and University
of Arkansas.
The week before, the Tigers
took to the courts in Tempe, Ariz,
for the Reebok Classic. They
ended up 1-2 for the tournament,
defeated by University of Michigan 6-3 and to Arizona State by
the same margin.
Despite the team loss against

Michigan, van der Merwe was


able to upset the No. 7 player in
the nation, Ed Nagel, in threesets by a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 mark. Cassidy also came on to defeat Michigan's Ed Filer 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, and
the doubles team of van der
Merwe and Anderson was able to
chalk up a victory as they
defeated UM, 6-4, 7-6.
The highlight of the tournament was the win over Arkansas,
a team that would just assume
never encounter Auburn again.
The Tigers would later meet and

Thursday, March 12, 1987

beat them in Corpus Christi.


"The win didn't excite anyone at
first, but it turned out that
Arkansas had put together a
good team," Boiling said.
Looking back on the two tournaments, Thomson was pleased
with the Tigers performance.
"Breaking even on the road, considering t h e competition we
played, was a positive sign," he
said. We won some good matches
and lost some close ones, but in
the end I think we did pretty
well."

Swimmers aiming for top 20 ranking


looks for high placings in freestyle relays, particularly the 800yard event. He added that the
Lady Tigers' goal was to keep
their spot in the top 20.
Individually, though, the
women's team could field a couple of AU-Americans as well.
"Kandis Perry in the 200-yard
freestyle and Stephanie Putzi in
the 200-meter breaststroke have
the best chances to score highly
for us," Asmuth said.
"With the times we've had so
far this season, we should finish
okay," he added.

The men's and women's swim
teams have a chance to finish in
the nation's top 20 for the second
consecutive season, providing
they finish strongly in t h e
upcoming NCAA championship
meets.
The women will travel to Indianapolis March 19-21 to compete
in the NCAA women's finals.
Coach John Asmuth says his
women will have to put together a
strong team effort to keep their
current ranking of 15th in the
country.
"Relays will be the key to
determining our final place at
Indianapolis," he said. Asmuth

Instigators'musical style is variety


By Sheila Howard
Staff Writer
The Instigators have played
together professionally for only
eight months. The five-man
band's oldest member is 21; the
others are 19.
They admit they're inexperienced and young. But they also
say they're going to be a big
success.
So far so good. The Instigators,
who are all from the AuburnOpelika area, are already one of
the Hungry Hunter's house
bands. And the group plays at
least two nights each week at
local bars and, occasionally, at
fraternity parties.
"We attract the Hunter's biggest and most mainstrea m
crowds with a wider age group
than any other band in town,"
said Chris Miller, an Auburn junior and the band's manager.
The band got a start playing its
cover songs at The Alamo.

"They're good about giving


local bands a start. We got all our

said lead vocalist Collin Cumbee.

The Mighty Lemon Drops'
music seeps through the doors of
room 1239 in Haley Center.
Inside, a guy reclines on a tattered, vinyl couch supported by
cement blocks. He taps an audio
reel on his knee, like a tambourine, to the beat of the music.
Behind him on the wall are posters of the bands R.E.M., Suzy
Saxon and the Anglos and
Ultravox. Adjacent to the wall is
a partition boasting the call letters WEGL-FM91.
WEGL, a non-commercial
radio station radiating at 380
watts, is owned by the University. A staff of 80 students manage and operate the station.
Students have the majority of
the responsibility at the station.
"It takes up a lot of time. At least
10 hours a week, but it gives you
the chance to get experience,"
Monica DePauw, WEGL's news
director, said.
WEGL's faculty advisor, Dr.
Steven Padgett, handles the legal
and financial responsibilities of
the station.
WEGL is described by Tommy
Smeltzer, WEGL's production
manager, as a learning laboratory. "This is a real-live, honest-

to-goodness radio station. It's a


hands-on radio experience.
WEGL is a non-commercial
station committed to alternative
programming, which means it
plays music not heard on other
local stations.
Though WEGL's format is
diverse, from classical to heavy
metal, a majority of the music is
progressive rock. Commonly
known as college music, progressive rock is music that "current
hits" radio stations will not play.
WEGL had no real format
when it began 16 years ago,
according to Adam Robinson, a
computer engineering graduate,
who worked at WEGL from 1983
to 1986.
"For the last six years, WEGL's
format has been album-oriented
rock (all the album's songs except
current hits) and progressive
rock," Robinson said.
Students have criticized the
progressive format. "We play it
because that's the music trend in
College Music Journal," explains
Smeltzer.
The idea is to be a college radio
station, Robinson said. "The flaw
is that all the college radio stations are not the same and there
are no accounts taken for who is
listening," Robinson said.
The station's format remains

Y-V*" i >*---.

progressive because of its noncommercial status. "We don't


concern ourselves with selling
points because we are nonprofit," Smeltzer said.
"The lower 20 channels of the
radio band are provided so that
stations would not be dictated to
by advertising firms," Smeltzer
said.
WEGL also offers opportunities to small-time bands, new-age
to old-time rock 'n' roll, that don't
normally have a chance, according to DePauw.
"To me it doesn't seem like the
majority of the campus listens to
WEGL," Mary Henry, a senior,
said.
This past fall, WEGL asked to
be played at Foy Union. But Foy
Union refused to play WEGL
because of student complaints.
At the end of the quarter, a
compromise was reached. Blake
Herrin, WEGL's promotions
director and Lowell Ledbetter,
Foy Union's manager, decided to
play WEGL at Foy Union on
Monday through Friday from 6
p.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from
12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
"We feel like we have a real
good relationship with WEGL,"

lar club. "At Denaro's we do more


horns, and for younger crowds we
do more heavy metal," Cumbee
said. The Alamo called for "good
ole boy stuff and the fraternity
parties, "old classics/' he said.
The band's versatility springs
from the members' diverse musical beginnings. Lead guitarist
Pete Melton, who calls himself
Pete Powers, began playing classical guitar at age 9. He only
began playing rock two years
ago.
"Then I found out what a guitar
could do," Powers said.
Overtaken with the energetic
influences of Van Halen and Led
Zeppelin, Powers has become a
"metal head-banger," Cumbee
said.
The band calls lead vocalist
and trumpet player Dave Davidson "The Blues Daddy." Davidson, an Auburn freshman, plays
trumpet for the Auburn Knights
Orchestra, an elite jazz band that
began in the '30s. He was only the
second high school student to be
chosen for the group.
Davidson is right at home playing the band's versions of The
Blue's Brothers "Peter Gunn
Theme" or Otis Redding's "Sittin*
on the Dock of the Bay."

shower

"Our ticket has been our diversity," Davidson said." We put


everyone together and create our
own sound."
Powers agrees and adds, "The
wider our backgrounds are, the
more the band has to draw from."
Cumbee adds diversity to the
group with a funk and soul background. "I marched with the
Tuskegee High band for three
years, and I was one of the few
white kids in the band. I was only
exposed to soul. I had never really
been around rock music," he said.
Cumbee, a junior Russian
major at Auburn with a 3.7
G.P.A., said he tries to sound like
Prince, his favorite performer.
Before becoming one of the
band's lead vocalists, "I was
always a great shower singer," he
said laughing.
He has played the French horn
since sixth grade and also plays
the violin and the ukulele.
"We've all got strong musical
backgrounds. That's why it's so
fun to work together," Cumbee
said. "The audience sees us having a good time on stage, and
they can't help but get into it."

"Who will be here anyway?" By
the time I could answer, it was too
late. I was already inside with
about 20 other people standing in
line for a copier.
"I'll just stare at the floor,
nobody will notice me and I'll be
out of here in a matter of minutes," I thought.
Wrong. I choose to wait behind
a guy who makes 10 copies from
the pages of The Heavy Guitar

When I finally get to the copier,
it breaks down and draws attention to itself as well as its

Spring break cannot get here

To the girl I pushed out of my

To my professors: thanks for

agrees.
"They weren't just there to
make money on us to play for
three hours and just quit. They
were there to party with us and to
have fun, too."
When the audience is having
fun, it makes the band work that
much harder, said bass player
Ben Branch.
And they are working hard,
said the band members.
"We are learning from our mistakes as we go. We've started
totally from scratch," Cumbee
said.
Miller intends to take them as
far as they can go. He calls himself the b a n d ' s independent
agent.
"We don't have an agent, and
we are trying to avoid the band
circuit. With an agent, you don't
have a choice where you play. It's
just kind of dirty being a circuit
band. We want to pick the places
where we play. We want to feel
our own way," Miller said.
And when the band members
do begin performing originals
they want them "to be as varied
as the cover we play now,"
Branch said.
"We don't really have a distinct
musical style. We've got metal,
soul, old classics, jazz, rock 'n'
roll...," Cumbee said.
Branch said, "Variety is our
style."

Master tells of boy's dream

T. Scott Cunningham (L), Willie Minor star in Master

Harold

ASF play tells chilling tale


A historical drama tracing the
events leading up to a success is
not out of the ordinary. One
which details a failure, however,
is somewhat unusual.
Such is the theme of Terra
Nova by Ted Tally, a play
presented at the A l a b a m a
Shakespeare Festival (ASF) in
Montgomery.
Terra Nova tells the story of
British explorer Robert Scott's
historical 1912 expedition to the
South Pole. Unfortunately, as
Scott and his five-man party
discovered upon reaching the
Pole, the Norwegians beat them
to it.
The first half of the play covers
the actual expedition to the Pole.
The last half involves the return
trip, or rather the men's attempt
at returning. The English did not
make it back. Terra
Nova
recounts their final struggle.
Tally's account of the expedition is convincing. The play is
interesting and believable. Some
parts are unclear, though. For
instance, one minute the men

rejoice because they are only 18


miles from the Pole, then the next
they are already there, although
no traveling has taken place.
However, this is an understandable oversight considering Tally
has to cover an entire five-month
journey in the course of a twohour play.

c h a r a c t e r . He fulfills
obligation satisfactorily.

this

N e w c o m e r to A S F , Greg
Thornton, playing Scott's rival
Roald Amundsen, is a pleasant
surprise. A talented actor,
Thornton does all but show up
main character Pleasants with

Tally also inserts subtle humor


throughout the play, which
provides a relief from the intense
drama.

Too many nights in local bars

hours of credit can narrow the
perceptions. Athol F u g a r d ' s
"Master Harold"...and the boys
will sting with reality. It will in
the course of one and a half hour
remind you why you are here.
"Master Harold"...and the boys
is playing on the Alabama Shakespeare Festival's (ASF) Octagon
stage until April 11. The tickets
are $13 to $16. The drive is 45
minutes to an hour.
The story is about the stormy
relationship between a 17-yearold South African white, Hally
(T.ScottCunningham), and the
two black men who work for the
boy's parents. They run the St.
George's Park Tea Room on the
coastal town of Port Elizabeth.
The year is 1950. The boy's father
is an alcoholic and a cripple.
Hally is ashamed of his father,
and over the course of his schooling years has learned little about
life, but saved a lifetime of
hatred. When the chips are down,
it is Hally's black friends Sam
(Richard Wright) and Willie (Willie Minor) who suffer. The rules
that allow the boy to spit in Sam's
face are much different than the
rules of friendship. And it is at
this divide that Hally shows he is
indeed only a boy.
Sam and Willie have worked
for the boy's family longer than
Hally has been alive. During that
time the two men, especially
Sam, have cultivated a strong
friendship with the boy. In one of
the most poignant scenes of the
production, Hally relives an
afternoon when he and Sam go to
a nearby hilltop to fly a kite. Sam
had made it, and it was a gift in
more ways than one. Hally, for
the first time in his life, had hold
of something to be proud of. "The
miracle happened!," he remembers. "I was running, waiting for
it to crash to the ground, but
instead suddenly there was

something alive behind me at the


end of the string, tugging as if it
wanted to be free."
Hally wants to write a story
about this and the countless
other tales he has shared with
Sam and Willie. He is on the
brink of realizing that Sam and
Willie are so much more than servants. Hally has a little boys
temper, though, and the pressures of his twisted home life are
all that is needed to unleash it.
Cunningham is at his absolute
finest when he captures this sudden transformation from a young
boy excited about a history lesson
to the defensive and wickedly
paranoid young man who brandishes a ruler on a man he would
10 seconds earlier call heartfelt
friend.
Willie has a dream of becoming
the champion in the upcoming
ballroom dancing competition. It
is a dream of beauty that Hally
cannot see. He passes it off as a
simple prancing, a goal without
meaning in the "real" world. Progress he would have the two men
know comes from a men like Charles Darwin. Darwin wrote the
Origin
of Species.
Hally
enviously refers to this work as
product of a man "who could
change things." Hally, however,
is still every bit the classic
imperialist.
And therein lies the whole conflict. A young boy in men's trousers h a s a glimpse at the mighty
discord that takes place all the
world over. He is angry and frustrated, but he fails to recognize
that the pains that educate him
are meaningless without his own

desire to effect a change. For


every foible of youth that Hally
commits, Sam is the counterbalance of dignity and respect,
made utterly convincing through
Wright's indelible stage presence.
Hally has an assignment to
write a paper on some annual
event of some "cultural or historical signifigance." He decides to
write it on the dancing contest.
All at once, Hally is put into the
position of the "social reformers,"
to whom he so fondly refers. Sam
and Willie are elated that their
vision of the model world the
dance floor might reach
beyond their own imaginations
to the reality of ink on paper.
"There's no collisions out there,
Hally. Nobody trips or stumbles
or bumps into anybody else.
That's what that moment is all
about. To be one of those finalists
on that dance floor is like...like
being in a world where accidents
don't happen."
But the phone rings. Hally's
father is coming home from the
hospital. Hally is violently
thrown into a fit of rage. If his life
is so twisted, so distorted that
there could never be any ball
room dancing because of a loved,
but despised father, why try to
write about dreams?
The clash that ensues is gut
wrenching and forceful. It is a
climax that keeps theatre guests
very still and very stunned. When
the lights come on, there is
silence. You find yourself trying

Fox, Jett do more than rock


Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett
star in Light of Day, written
(Taxi Driver, The Mosquito
Coast) and directed (Cat People,
Mishima) by Paul Schrader.
Jett makes her motion picture
debut and Fox makes his debut as
a bona fide musician. Fox plays
Joe Rasnick who works at a
pressed metal plant in Cleveland
by day; and at night he plays the
local bars with his sister Patti
(Jett) and their hard-rock band
The Barbusters. Music is their
escape from the drudgery of everyday life.
The Barbusters are Fox, Jett,
Michael McKean (Laverne and
Shirley, This is Spinal Tap),
Michael Bolan and Paul J. Harkins (who has since joined the
Blackhearts). The band played
clubs in Ohio before filming
Light of Day, and the performances in the movie were recorded
live. These energetic, unpolished
performances are the most exciting parts of the movie giving the
viewer a real sense of being there
in the noisy, crowded, smoky
bars.
Joe is the mediator between his
strong-willed sister and their
mother. He's the calm pacifist
who avoids confrontation and
tries to keep peace in the family.
He lives with Patti and is a surrogate father to her 4 1/2-year-old
illegitimate son Benji (Billy
Sullivan).
Patti is hard, rebellious and
seemingly consciousless. She
lives to perform. "I feel that beat
on stage...and that's enough.
Music is all that matters," she
said. She's a contemptible creature. She rebels constantly
against her mother, but more
importantly, she willingly sub-

jects her son to the seedy,


immoral world of the struggling
rock band on the road. The viewer
grows to hate her, and when she
finally does show her compassionate side in a poignant scene
with her mother (played by Gena
Rowlands), it is too late; she's
asking too much to be forgiven
for all her selfish callousness.

home to her son.
Light of Day is not just a rock
'n' roll movie. The scenes exploring the tumultuous family relationships round out the film,
making it a portrait of Joe and
Patti as people and not just as
rock musicians.

But these scenes are sometimes

The performance given by
Cunningham, Wright and Minor
is nothing short of sensational.
The South African dialect is
delightful, captivating and full of
emotion. It is quite convincing
and even elusive at first as one
might expect of a conversation
between South Africans.
As for the Blount Theatre
which serves as permanent home
to the ASF, seeing is believing. It
wasn't put on the cover of the
phone book because it is an eyesore. It is undoubtably one of the
finest performing arts theatres in
America. It is only just and fitting that so fine a place plays
host for "Master Harold"...and
the boys.

The crew consists of Steven
David Martin as Bowers, Daniel
Kern as Dr. Wilson, Robert

Harum's gripping performance

something to be desired. She
seems unnatural, affected and, at
times, inconsistent in her role.
For example, in a few instances
her emotions come from nowhere.
Her performance is adequate, but
not up to this professional level.
The set, designed by Michael
Stauffer, is simple yet effective in
creating the proper atmosphere.
The second background stage
adds an interesting dimension.
In addition, photographs of the
actual location, shown before
and after the play, are an
appropriate complement.
The costuming looks good and
fitting, although not quite warm
enough for such a cold climate. Of

Terra Nova is well-done and

the end of the play, a story of
"hard work, endurance and
