(AP) — Well-traveled coach Steve Sloan, now the offensive coordinator at Vanderbilt University, says he’s feel ing the pressure as he returns to the sidelines. Vanderbilt opens the season Saturday night in Dallas against Southern Meth odist. “This week has been a little more emotional for me,” said Sloan, for mer head coach at Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, Ole Miss and Duke as well as ex-athletic director at Alabama. “I have very strong feelings about this school, and you get close to the players,” he said. “You want them to do well, to be successful. As a coach, you want to have them prepared and call the right plays for them. That’s a whole lot of pressure.” The last time Sloan helped pre pare a Vanderbilt team for a game was in 1974 when, as head coach, he led the Commodores to the Peach Bowl where they tied Texas Tech. Ironically, a few weeks later he be came head coach at Texas Tech. From there he went to Ole Miss and then Duke. He was athletic director at Alabama last year until leaving in a dispute. Sloan, 46, who grew up in Cleve land, Tenn., and played at Alabama under coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, said he never wonders what would have happened if he had remained at Vanderbilt. “I’m just not a retrospective per son,” he said. “The thing I do regret about my leaving Vanderbilt was that at first I said I’d stay, then I didn’t. If I had it to do over again, I’d handle it differ ently.” Because of his indecision, he left the school in controversy. But Sloan said he has sensed no residual re sentment since returning for this season. “All the response had been posi tive. Probably the warmest reception has been from the guy on the street. I go to a restaurant or go shopping and I run into people who stop and tell me they’re glad I’m back at Van derbilt. That makes me feel good.” He said he’s not evaluated his fu ture. “Maybe that’s poor planning on my part. I’m just glad to be back in coaching. I missed being away from it. Right now I’m just trying to get back in the swing of things. I haven’t looked beyond that.” ST OAK MALL TEXAS 6 BYPASS @ HWY 30, COLLEGE STATION • MONDAY - SATURDAY j 0-9, SUNDAY 12:30-5:30 FALLS IN FASHION « •( Try, try again Jared Everi of the E-2 c Cowboys’ quarterback Troy Aikman (0-11) tries to lead Dallas a victory in its season opener Sunday over San Diego.

He’s a millionaire cjuarterback who has never won a game in the NFL. Introduced at the Dallas Cow boys kickoff luncheon recently as the Most Valuable Cowboys’ Player in 1989, Aikman quipped “I guess (running back) Paul Palmer couldn’t make the flight in from Cincinnati.” Behind an offensive line thai had a different cast of characiers almost every week, Aikman hit 155 of 293 passes for 1,749 yards He threw nine touchdown passes but suffered 18 interceptions. >ay. Aikman will be 0-11 as a start ing quarterback when the Cow boys open the season at home on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers at 3 p.m. Dallas’ only victory in a 1-15 rookie year for Aikman was 13-3 over the Washington Redskins. Starting quarterback was Steve Walsh, who worked the five weeks Aikman spent on the side lines recovering from a broken finger. “Aikman has the same record as Roger Staubach,” quipped broadcaster Dale Hansen. “Each one of them has had three con- Staubach has been impressed by Aikman. “He has a quiet confidence about him,” Staubach said. “1 think our personalities might be the same.” Aikman said he’s ready to win. “I learned a lot the hard way in my rookie season,” Aikman said “I can read defenses better. “At times last year, things were a blur.” Aikman will have to be produc tive for Dallas to have a chance against the Chargers while the Cowboys backfield introduces themselves to each other. Alonzo Highsmith was ob tained in a trade from Houston and first round pick Emmiti Smith signed a four-year con tract, all this week.

Aikman has come close to win ning but the Dallas defense let him down. Aikman set an NFL rookie re cord with 379 yards passing but lost to Phoenix. He was knocked unconscious as he delivered a 75- yard touchdown pass to James Dixon to give Dallas a 20-17 lead over Phoenix with less than two minutes to play. When he woke up, the Cardi nals had rallied to win the game. San Diego will have a surprise starter at quarterback, Mark Vlasic, who beat out Billy Joe Tolliver in training camp. It’s Chargers running back Marion Butts who worries Dallas coach J immy Johnson. “Butts impressed us when we practiced with the Chargers and played against them in a presea son game,” Johnson said. “San Diego beat us in the pre season (28-16) so we know what's ahead of us. ” $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 HEALTHY MALES $1200 $1200 Currently indentifying healthy males (19-40 years old) $1200 interested in a 13-day on site research study to begin in $1200 October. $1200 incentive for those chosen to $1200 participate. $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $1200 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 ASTHMA STUDY $300 Individuals (12 and older) who have asthma to participate $300 $300 in a research study. $800 incentive for those who $300 enroll and complete study. $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE STUDY Individuals with high blood pressure, either on or off blood $300 pressure medication daily to participate in a high blood $300 n«v»uu pressure research study. $300 incentive for those who en- $300 $300' ro11 and complete study. $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 FALL WEED ALLERGY STUDY m Individuals (12 and older) to participate in a Fall $ 1()0 Weed Allergy Study. $100 incentive for those cho- $ 10C sen to participate. $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 CALL PAULL RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL® 776-0400 Fern By LIBBY KUF Of The Battalio Although it contradiction, Feminists for ] person can be life advocate., McLean say come a femii has been a Ion; “I really str pro-life,” McL ting interested toward femin surge in the ea “I assumed abortion as st to women but cause males o ady to copulal babies attachec McLean sa’ when the mai cided to favor Although p the idea of ] along with th Flori By SEAN FRE Of The Battalic Reacting to versity of Flor A&M student; crimes but ha themselves.
