 ll»e expansive sports facil-jfivities on campus show the South's strong emphasis on athletics. The student tennis SScourts are being moved to (ffimake room for an athletic of-Lqfice building. An athlete studies on the' concourse between classes. Athletes must budget their;: time well in order to maintain ; a balance between athletics and academics. Excellence Opening 7 Internal conflicts often overshadowed steps taken to bring improvement to the University. P The College of Liberal Arts searched long and hard for a dean to guide its department. Engineering professors fought for freedom of speech and press. Students who felt their right to free speech was being violated stood up against University policies. As Auburn became the first and only university in Alabama to be placed on the Carnegie research list, the push tor more research was continued. Many felt that this took too much emphasis from teaching. Others felt that quality research was necessary to bring quality teachers to Auburn. The battle continued with both sides being questioned on their motives. The University's academic reputation suffered due to some people's preference for athletics. In his struggle to the top, Jeff Burger triggered suspicions that there were students on Auburn's campus who were above academic policies. Regardless of his problems off the field his leadership on the field led us to the Sugar Bowl. Proposed changes in the core curriculum were an attempt to strengthen the liberal education program. The Core Curriculum Commission urged that the new curiculum be more representative of the basics a student should know. The commission felt that the earlier program was too unstructured and ineffective to function well. On the football field Jeff Burger, one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, led us to the SEC championship. However several of his actions off the field brought embarras-ment to our academic reputation.

Julie Sorrels participates in the spring elections in which Harold Melton became the first black SGA President by a landslide vote. Excellence Students were always striving for excellence in everything they did for the university. The communications organizations were struggling to provide the best events and publications for other students on their limited budgets. Student leaders requested that the amount of student activity fee money for student organizations be made a percentage of tuition, automatically increasing available funds as tuition increased. Greeks raised money for many worthy charities. From band party fundraisers to the Kappa Alpha Theta Love Auction greeks helped out the less fortunate. Each greek organization was attempting to change for the better. Students voted in the first black SGA President by a record 65% of the vote. They also passed a resolution to add eight dollars to tuition to provide funds for an aquatic complex. But the administration did not feel the University could afford the facilities and did not act on the resolution. Student parking became a free-for-all race for parking spaces when all students were given the same parking permit. With such limited parking available and more cars being registered each year the university police felt that one sticker for all students was the most feasiable plan. Were the changes made beneficial to Auburn? Did we not only strive for but achieve a higher standard of excellence? The question was left to you. It was a question of excellence.
