Dear Earl?
Former Oiler tries hand as
columnist for weekly tabloid
Vc
AUSTIN (AP) — When former
Heisman Trophy winner Earl
Campbell of Texas was approached
about writing a newspaper column
for Austin Weekly, he was told it
would be a “Dear Abby”-type col
umn.
“What,” asked Campbell, “is
Abby?”
Not only had Campbell never
heard of syndicated columnist Abi
gail Van Buren, he had not even
subscribed to a newspaper during
his eight years as an NFL pro run
ning back at Houston and New Or
leans.
“I never wanted to read about my
self,” he said.
Once he returned to Austin,
where his four years as a Longhorn
were capped by the Heisman in
1977, Campbell took a job at the
University of Texas as assistant to
the vice president of student affairs.
He also began getting newspapers
again.
Writing a column enhances his
role as a Texas celebrity and as per
haps the most familiar sports figure
in the state’s history. Campbell’s No.
20 is the only Longhorn football jer
sey ever retired,

athletes — Rosser wouldn’t want it
any other way.
“We feel very blessed to have Jeff
contributing to the youth of this
area,” he said. “I really can’t see any
body else doing the job that he’s
doing for us now.”
Both Paine and Rosser applauded
the responsiveness the program has
received from the athletic staff.
“We’ve been blessed to have the
support of good Christian men such
as R.C. Slocum and baseball coach
Mark Johnson,” Paine said. “They’ve
been very helpful and it’s a privilege
to work with tnem.”
Slocum said it’s great to have
Paine working with the athletes.
“He was fine player for us and he
went on to have a successful profes
sional career,” he said. “We are for
tunate to be able to have him work
with our athletes as part of his role
with the Brazos Valley Adult Chap
ter.”
Paine said he can relate to what a
college athlete goes through.
“Coming to A&M as a walk-on, I
can identify with the trials and trib
ulations of a student-athlete,” Paine
said. “I’ve walked in their cleats and
I really enjoy helping them out.
“I thank the Lord that he gave the
perserverance to make my way from
being a walk-on to playing profes
sional football,” he said. “But one
thing I try to stress to an athlete is to
think about what they will do after
their playing days are over.
“I want them to enjoy being an
athlete, but long-term decisions
must be made.”
It was when Paine was attending
A&M that he received a true
relationship with the Lord and that’s
what he wants to pass along to the
athletes at A&M now.
“I’ve been out of school for six
years and I realize now that the deci
sions I made then were not fads,” he
said. “They were real decisions that
will stay with me for the rest of my
life. I just want to see everybody
grow in their relationship with God
and have that relationship stay with
them after they leave school.”

tion for just one more year unless he

the A&M FCA huddle group meets
every Tuesday night at 9 p.m. in the
Lettermen’s Lounge in G. Rollie
White Coliseum. He said being an
athlete is not required, all that’s
needed is a desire to learn more
about God’s word.
Paine will be the keynote speaker
at the annual Gameday Witness
game next year on Sept. 22 when
A&M plays the University of North
Texas at Kyle Field.
“I coordinate some of A&M’s
players going to the high school
huddle meetings because the high
school kids really look up to those
guys,” Paine said. “But mainly Ideal!
with the college group.
“It’s when college students fmt|
come here that they start to realize
how strong an influence God can
be,” Paine said. “It’s my hope that!
can help guide some of these stu
dents down the path to a long and
happy life with the help of God...
that’s what I enjoy the most aboui
what I do.”

representative of the University of
Texas.
“I won’t say specifically which
schools or which conferences. All of
these items are under active consid
eration and will be pursued as we go
into the next couple of months.”
There was talk of doing away with
the current round-robin schedule, in
which each team plays the eight
other league members each season,
in order to free room on football
schedules for games with other ma
jor teams across the nation.
“A lot of the problems that uni
versities all across the country face
are economic — the competition
from other sports and from other
distractions. You can see it in the de
cline in attendance at sporting
events,” Vick said.
“We need to find a way to rejuve
nate that interest in college athletics
and increase the attendance and
thereby the interest and economic
health of all our programs,” he said.
Although some schools had com
plained about the way gate receipts
are split, Vick said there is little
move in that direction.
“There was no move to make
changes in the gate splits as they now
stand,” Vick said.
“The gate receipts as they are split
would be a back issue right now, as
opposed to the gate receipts in their
size. I’m talking about the size of the
crowd. Just increasing the gate rec
eipts is more of a concern than how
they are split.”
Vick said the meeting also con
cerned legislative proposals that will
come before the NCAA next year.
“Specifically, we discussed reduc
tions in coaching staffs, phasing out
athletic dorms, elimination of train
ing tables, and reduction of grants in
aids,” Vick said.
Vick called the session an active
meeting.
“There was a great deal of dis
cussion. Arkansas was a very full
participant in that. We’re optimistic
that some exciting things can hap
pen,” he said.
SWC commissioner Fred Jacoby
echoed Vick’s upbeat feeling about
the Razorbacks and chances they will
remain in the league.
“The University of Arkansas was
very active in the discussions, and
they were very supportive of tlif|
areas discussed. So we were encour
aged. The University of Arkansas!:
a full participating member of (tie
conference, they’re a very valued
member of the conference, and w |
have every reason to believe and
hope that they will remain a member
of the conference.”
The league’s presidents meetnes;
week in Dallas, and Jacoby said the
items discussed by the faculty rep
resentatives will be forwarded
them for their consideration.
Vick declined to say whether the
faculty representatives came up will
any recommendations for the school
presidents regarding expansion oij
any other matter.
“I wouldn’t want to go into that
kind of detail. We will have some
things to pass along to them, al
though it won’t be as specific as sour
people would like it to be,” Vick said
“I don’t feel we’re going to thtj
presidents with a proposal as such
It’s possible the presidents will de
cide to take action, but that remain!!
to be seen. I don’t know how the'
willjudge the information.”
Vick added, “I think they can prfr
vide direction and encouragemeni
or discouragement to the various al
ternatives.”
Nudist
(Continued from page 5)
gies Over Texas. They will be,
and I quote the brochure, “dropping
onto the Live Oak grounds in the ul
timate demonstration of body free
dom.”
Cool.
Now, I don’t hold anything
against nudists — whatever you want
to do shouldn’t bother me, I’ve got
enough things to worry about.
But I’m naive and I wonder.
I think getting into an intense
game of volleyball might be, let’s just
say, distressful without some kind of
bodily support for both men and
women.
Also, when a person skydives,
don’t they have thick straps that go
around the legs and up through the,
uh ... crotch? Again, I think this
would put the word “discomfort” in
anyone’s vocabulary.
National Nude Weekend at the
Live Oak Ranch is sponsored by the
American Sunbathing Association
and The Naturist Society — a group
representing thousands of nudists
throughout North America.
Although some might be wan
about attending a Nude Weekend
festivity, non-nudists are urged to at
tend. Some may get there and first
become comfortable with the sur
roundings before they join the nud
ists.
If you have an open mind, wb'
not go out and see what you’re miss
ing? Call for information at 409-878
2216.
Then, when you get back, given# I
a call and tell me about the volleybal
match.
