The Red a Buck
Louisiana State’s statistics
after its 53-20 win Saturday over
Idaho looked a bit like an aver
age performance from Kentucky:
a lot of offense, very little
defense.
The Tigers’ Kevin Faulk led
the offensive surge, running for
268 all-purpose yards — 178 rush
ing — and four touchdowns,
while quarterback Herb Tyler
threw two touchdowns in an 11-
of-14 performance.
But Idaho picked up 410 yards
of offense against the LSU
defense, almost half of that on
the ground.
"We made some fundamental
mistakes (on defense),” LSU
head coach Gerry DlNardo said.
“We've got some basic things we
have to do better, things we’ve
been doing for a while but we
didn’t do well. They’re cor
rectable. We let some things hap
pen to us out there that
shouldn’t have.”
DlNardo said his main con
cern Is how soon his team makes
the necessary adjustments, espe
cially with No. 12 Georgia coming
to town for Saturday’s 7 p.m.
contest at sold-out Tiger
Stadium.
Another concern, DlNardo
said, is the mistakes his team
made, such as losing three of four
fumbles against Idaho.
“I'm bothered by the way we
played (against Idaho),’’
DlNardo said. “I thought we
would play better, and I’m disap
pointed. Everything is cor
rectable, but the issue is how
long It takes. Whether you can do
it In a week, a season, In five or 10
years. It’s a sense of urgency that
is the unknown. I’m bothered by
the mistakes for sure.”
On the season, the Tigers
have fumbled eight times, losing
five. LSU’s three opponents —
Arkansas State, Auburn and
Idaho — have averaged 15 points.
85 rushing yards and 217 passing
yards per game.
Senior nose guard Anthony
McFarland and senior linebacker
Joe Wesley both have 22 tackles
to lead the Tigers.
Meanwhile. L8U has been
penalized 20 times for 150 yards,
compared to Georgia's 13 penal
ties for 92 yards.
Offensively, the Tigers average
222 rushing yards a game and 217
yards through the air.
"I think Herb's experience is
noticeable (and) has been the
last two games," DlNardo said. “I
think Kevin Is running stronger
than he’s ever run. I don’t think
he’s lost any quickness. As for
the rest of the offense, I think
we’re getting good play from our
tight ends and receivers (and)
we’ve been developing some
depth along the offensive line.”

A hospital bed didn’t stop Helmet
Camphausen from grading papers
and reaching out to his students.
When the German teaching assis
tant was admitted to intensive care
last spring with cancer, he continued
grading his students’ papers.
Now, three weeks after his death,
Camphausen's students and col
leagues still are mourning the “warm,
friendly and deeply caring man’’ who
died Sept. 4 in Houston from lung
cancer. He had
been receiving
treatment at the
Anderson Cancer
Research Center
in Houston since
early summer,
Camphausen’s
colleagues said.
They said he
will be remem
bered as a dedi
cated teacher
and “great CAMPHAUSEN
friend.”
“The students who took his classes
know how much he cared about them
and how willing he was to give of him
self,” said Allen Welrick, coordinator
of German language courses. "He
always took the time to work with
them."
A native of Koeln, Germany,
Camphausen, who was 44,
approached his work with enthusi
asm and humility, his co-workers
said.
“He had won many awards and
earned degrees, but he wouldn’t brag
about any of that,” said Sonia Grund,
another German TA. “He was very
intelligent, but he also was humble
about his accomplishments."
After he was diagnosed with lung
cancer in 1997, Camphausen played
down his Illness in front of colleagues.
“Not once did he ask to be relieved
from his duties in the classroom or in
preparation of tests or anything else,"
Weirick said. “He never lost his posi
tive, encouraging, helpful attitude
while going through a time that
would have caused most of us to
break down."
When asked about Camphausen
on Monday, the TAs that he worked
with ultimately remembered him as
an upbeat pessimist.
“He had a pessimistic attitude
about many things such as govern
ment or any other system," said Anca
Luca, another TA. “But he always
kept his sense of humor about
things."
University officials did not know
Monday if a memorial service would
be held on campus for Camphausen.

Residents of Oglethorpe House were evacuated
londay night after a student left a pan of oil burning
n a second-floor stove, authorities said
No one was injured in the 7:30 p.m fire at the nlne-
tory, co-ed dorm near the center of campus.
"Something smelled like it was burning,” said Max
fltt, a sophomore from Marietta who lives on the
mrth floor. “It smelled like burning fish sticks.”
Fire officials wouldn't say what actually was being
ooked. “It was just oil,” Holleman said.
The fire was caused by burning grease in a second
oor kitchenette, Athens-Clarke fire officials said
“There was really nothing to it,” said A-C fire Capt
leorge Holleman. “Just enough to activate the alarm
ystem"
Residents said the whole Boor was filled with smoke
Outside the dorm, where about 500 students live,
time residents wanted to know how it started.
“A lot of people were asking who did it." said Monee

Technically an Athens townie. Bates
was first exposed to nudism in high
school, living in Vermont. Her world col
lided with Davis’ at the University when
he placed an ad formally announcing his
Intent to begin his group under the sim
ple moniker, “Hangin’ Out Naked."
When Bates got around to it, she
picked up the phone and gave Davis a
call, inquiring about the modest propos
al. The group is now two members
strong — and growing?
For Bates, the idea of camaraderie
and fUn is what attracts her to starting a
student nudist group.
"I'm just thinking about hanging out
and having fun," Bates said. “I’m looking
at it more as a bunch of cool people hav
ing fUn — just naked."
They were both quick to point out
that social nudism brings with it a few
obvious, but erroneous, assumptions.
“In a way, people think in order to be
naked you have to be having sex," Davis
said. "I think this is a sad state, because
you feel like your body is only good for
sexual purposes."
Martha Myers, a sociology professor
at the University, said the same thing.
“In general, I think the whole goal is
to divorce being nude from sex," Myers
said. “The idea is self-acceptance of oth
ers."
Indeed. Davis came to nudism as a
way of accepting himself. He said he was
slow to develop and thus had a poor self-
image.
"I grew up with a lot of stigma
attached to myself because I was a late
bloomer," Davis said.

ralism, has been relegated to nudist
beaches, resorts and clubs all across the
United States. It has grown in popularity

“Today, right off the bat. I'd like to challenge you to
’Xtend your reach to your neighbors in the South."
iunter-Oault told more than 150 students and faculty
it the Waiter Barnard Hill lecture Monday morning.
'Your neighbors in the South, not South Georgia but
he global South, need you."
In the '60s, Hunter-Gault made history as the first
(lack woman to enter and graduate from the University.
As the correspondent in Africa for National Public
iadlo, Hunter-Gault focused her speech on the plight of
iouth Africa and the media’s role in the struggle She
tlso challenged University students to become involved
n an Increasingly globalized world
Hunter-Gault told her listeners the problems of the
!0th century “are not local, but global."
“Your assignment. If you choose to accept it, is to
make the world your neighborhood and to better it. This
is not a mission impossible," she said.
As a Journalist, Hunter-Gault witnesses firsthand the
devastation of genocide and starvation in Africa
She talked about meeting a group of children whose
families were destroyed through genocide. She told the
children tales of the U.S. civil rights movement, and
then sang a song from the past.
“Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around. Ain't gonna
let no Jim Crow turn me around. Ain't gonna let nobody
put me down.”
Encouraging the African youths to clap and sway
with her, they sang together, “Ain’t gonna let genocide
turn me around."
Afterward, Hunter-Gault was a approached by a 17-
year-old girl who said she wanted to go back to school.
After members of her family were “hacked," she became
head of her household, yet she still dreamed of an edu
cation.
“A candle of hope continues to Dicker and bum,"
Hunter-Gault said. “The candlelight of hope can be
found even in the darkest holes In Africa."
Hunter-Gault urges young people to become “citi
zens of the world" and reminds them “where there is a
will there is a way."

U.S., Myers said.
"There’s a social norm that says you
should be clothed." she said. “But in gen
eral, the public is not accepting of that
behavior.”
The public's lack of acceptance for
nudism may come from a preconceived
notion that nudists are sexually
depraved.
“It’s not a big excuse for swinging,”
Bates said.
Davis said nudism is more than sex or
being a swinger.
"It’s a great way to loosen up,” Davis
said. “But making that first step is some
times hard for people.”
