'WAR EAGLE DAYS' SCHEDULED SEPT. 9 AND OCT. 21

      AUBURN -- About 10,000 high school seniors and their parents are 
being invited to spend the day at Auburn University, take in a football 
game and get  the flavor of the campus as part of "War Eagle Days" on 
Sept. 9 and Oct. 21.
      Grant Davis, acting director of admissions, says prospective 
students will meet with representatives of academic areas, student 
affairs and various university organizations.
      A convocation at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum will feature 
presentations by Jim Ferguson, vice president for administrative 
services; Winston Tucker, Student Government Association president; and 
Davis.
      Tickets will be provided to the Sept. 9 football game at 
Jordan-Hare Stadium with UT-Chattanooga and the Oct. 21 game with Western 
Michigan. 
      Students are being invited based on their qualifications for 
admission to AU, says Pat Barnes, vice president for student affairs.
      "Our goal is to provide general information concerning our 
academic programs and some related programs," she said. "The day should 
be both informative and entertaining. We are proud of the excellent 
quality of our academic programs and our student body."
      About 6,000 high school students and their parents attended the 
two "War Eagle Days" in 1994.
