Some never miss a game. Some bleed crimson. But Rufus Strickland found a way to go one better.; Strickland, known to his friends as, "Strick," planned a posthumous tribute to the Crimson Tide. Above his headstone, in a cemetery directly across from Bryant-Denny Stadium, a sign reads, "Roll Tide Roll, Strick and Friends." There is also an , inscription on his tombstone that says, "Hi. Thanks for stopping by. . - Stick." His widow, Faye Strickland, says Rufus Stricdand proclaims Strick designed the headstone and inscription at least three years before his death last July.

"Believe it or not, the creative business companies and bow tbey are managed are almost identical to the klnd of manage- ment you use within a college," says Taylor, 57, who was dean of the business school at Fordham U. from 1985 to 1992. A proponent of quality-con- trol management, Taylor believes in inviting input from employees at every level of a company or institution. And because tbis approacb bas proven effective for Ford and Xerox, Taylor canceled classes for a day during the 1992-93 school year and held a "plan-in" to hear the concerns of stu- dents, faculty and staff.

Fanatical alums are accepted as normal at most "football" schools, but the fact that Strick didn't even a go to the university makes his story all the more bizarre. He attended Athens College, but quit to enroll in morecian's school. 3 According to his widow, there has o only been one case of vandalism to Strick's decorative grave.
