Unlike a Montgomery County bill, which allows constables to serve out their terms, the Autauga bill takes effect immediately, said state Rep. Horace Powell, D- Prattville, who introduced the bill. The two bills passed the Legislature about the same time. Ounce of prevention: sheriff said he's had want to wait until he did Autauga County Sheriff James "Herbie" Johnson said the county has had no problems with its two constables, "but I didn't want to wait until I did," before having the elected position abolished.

Both constables were elected last year. Autauga County Constable John "Mac" McCracken Jr. called the bill's passage "a crying shame," particularly since Sheriff Johnson is constantly seeking more deputies. The Autauga County no problems but didn't County could have another 20 deputies and it wouldn't be enough. Here is the chance for them to have free help, and they turn it down," said Mr.

McCracken, who said he is 67 but "still healthy."

Bickley, III. By Debra Davis ADVERTISER STAFF WRITER TROY Troy State University's decision to join the East Coast Conference as part of the school's move to Division I came as a surprise to some members of the school's Athletic Policy Committee. Gordon "Mac" McKerral, who chairs the Athletic Policy Committee, a faculty-elected commit- tee, said he was disturbed that the committee wasn't told or consulted ahead of time about the school's announcement of conference affiliation in April. "There is a perception by some faculty and others that this committee was left out of the loop or decision-making process altogether," Mr. McKerral said at Friday's meeting of the Athletic Policy Committee.

"I feel this committee can serve as an important committee with a lot of issues to discuss, but only if we're allowed to have some input in the decision-making process." In February 1992, the TSU Faculty Advisory Council published a report that criticized Chancellor Jack Hawkins Jr. and other administrators for not allowing more faculty input into major decisions. As a result of that report, the administration promised to improve faculty and administrative relations and vowed to allow committees to have more of a voice in school policy. Athletic director Ken Blankenship told members of the Athletic Policy Committee on Friday that the decision of conference affiliation was one that had to be made in a very short period of time about two weeks and there wasn't enough time to consult the panel. However, he added that he didn't believe the committee's duties included making a decision about conference affiliation.

That comment drew a sharp response from Mr. McKerral who said he failed to see why the committee should exist if it only serves as a "rubber stamp" for decisions already made. Mr. McKerral conceded that there aren't specific guidelines in the faculty handbook that dictate the duties of the Athletic Policy Committee, but he added that the committee's name implies that it has some responsibilities in the decision-making process. Mr.

McKerral said that while he feels the decision to join the East Coast Conference was a sound move, any future major announcements should be considered by the Athletic Advisory Committee.
