HUMANITIES AUCTION TO BENEFIT SCHOLARSHIP FUND

     COLUMBUS -- If you've ever wanted to take a ride in the 
Goodyear Blimp, or go golfing with Andy Geiger, or ring the 
Victory bell after an Ohio State University football game, you 
might get your chance at the "Things You Can't Buy Anywhere 
Else" auction sponsored by the Humanities Alumni Society of The 
Ohio State University.

     The auction, to benefit the Humanities Alumni Scholarship 
Fund, will be held at the society's sixth annual tailgate party 
on Sept. 7.  The event will be held from 9:45 a.m. to noon on the 
Oval side of University Hall prior to the Ohio State-Rice 
University football game. 

     There will be a buffet of international foods and 
entertainment by the Alumni Men's Glee Club.  The auction will be 
conducted by Jerry Cameron, an Ohio State alumnus from Columbus. 
Both live and silent auctions will be held and the bidding will 
encompass a wide range of prices.

     A partial list of auction items includes:
     -- A ride in the Goodyear blimp.
     -- Tour of the Woody Hayes Athletic Facility and visit to a 
        football practice.
     -- Golf with athletic director Andy Geiger.
     -- Two football jerseys (Terry Glenn's & Joey Galloway's).
     -- Ringing the Victory Bell after a home game win.

        Wexner Center plus lunch hosted by Director Sherri 
        Geldin.
     -- Dinner and theatre hosted by Columbus personalities Fred 
        and Howard.

     The event is being planned by three members of the 
Humanities Alumni Society Board of Governors: Roberta Shoemaker, 
Noreen Palmer and Marilyn Pritchett.

     The tailgate party and auction are open to all.  There is a
