McWhorter becomes co-ed
NCAA may outlaw athletic dorms altogether
By ROB KREMER end JON TULLY
Sports Writers
The women’s rights movement has hit the Univer
sity's athletic department
This fall, female athletes will be moving into the
previously male-athletes-only residence hall, McW
horter Hall.
The women’s basketball team, several members of
the gymnastics team, and incoming freshmen in the
women’s tennis and track programs will be the first to
move into the hall Georgia may be one of the first
schools to house a co ed athletic dorm when approxi
mately 35 women take over a wing of the building.
Athletic Director Vince Dooley said the decision has
been mulled over for quite some time.
“It was a long discussion over a long period of time,”
Dooley said. “We talked to each coach, the Council of
Athletes, the Athletic Board, and it was run by the
President.”
The NCAA Presidents Commission will vote on a
proposal to rid universities of dormitories reserved for
athletes in January 1991. Still, Dooley feels that it is
not a waste of time for the women to move in just
months before the vote.
“If there is any vote in 1991 on the submitted pro
posal, and it is passed,” Dooley said, "it won’t even go
into effect for five years, and we’re not even sure if it
will pass .”
However, other schools and universities are hesi
tant to make any sort of change because of the
NCAA's possible banning of athletic residence halls.
Howard Brown, administrative assistant at Yon
Hall, the University of Florida’s male athletic resi
dence hall, said, “Right now, our main concern is what
the status of the athletic dorm will be. The NCAA is
considering abandoning the concept of the athletic
dorm altogether.
"We’re in favor of each school having its own policy
about athletic dorms. But, because the NCAA is con
sidering outlawing the athletic dorm, we’re sitting
back and waiting.
Florida State Assistant Athletic Director Andy Ur-
banic said FSU is also adopting a wait-and-see atti
tude. Neither Florida or FSU would have the facilities
for such a change, but both Brown and Urbanic said
they find Georgia’s decision interesting.
“It’s interesting, but it’s not really out of the ordi
nary," Urbanic said. “If you view the residence hall
situation over the past 15 years or so, co-ed dorm resi
dences are not an uncommon thing. I don’t know if co
ed athletic dorms will catch on, but it’s kind of
common with non-athletic dorms.”
Brown said, “I hope they know what they're getting
into. I’m caught by surprise myself. I suppose it’s the
next logical step from co-ed residence halls. It might
be the rage for a while at a lot of schools.”
Dooley said the main advantages to living in McW
horter for an athlete is the easy access to the facilities.
"There is the academic achievement center, so girls
won’t have to walk at night,” he said. “Also the
coaches will feel better about it, because the girls will
be in a more controlled atmosphere. Particulary when
they are in training and need rest, the coaches are
more assured of it in McWhorter."
Dooley said, “It will be very beneficial to all con
cerned.”

ARKANSAS
From page 1
South Carolina, Miami of Florida
and Florida State. If all five
teams were to follow Arkansas’
lead then the conference would
be split into two eight-team divi
sions with a championship title
ame to be played following the
nal week of the season. The
winner of the championship
game would then represent the
conference in the Sugar Bowl.
“I would hope that the plan for
the SEC is to expand even fur
ther," Broyles said. ‘Tm going to
be a member now and I will have
a voice in that and other issues.”
Florida State appears to be an
early favorite for the next new
member, but neither the SEC or
FSU will comment. FSU is cur
rently an independent which
competes in the Metro Confer
ence in football.
FSU must decide by October
15th on whether or not to remain
in the Metro Conference.
As far as when Arkansas can
begin playing football in the SEC
is still up in the air. Arkansas
has an open slate for 1992, but
most SEC teams are oommitted
for that year. Georgia already
has full schedules set through the
1993 season.
Today and tomorrow, Georgia
Athletic Director Vince Dooley
will meet with other SEC athletic
directors in New Orleans to dis
cuss the expansion and future
scheduling. Arkansas will begin
SEC play in other sports begin
ning with the 1991-92 season.
Arkansas will play as an inde
pendent during tne 1991 season,
but will still have to honor con
tracts held with the other eight
SWC schools.
“Hawgs n Dawgs" anyone?
Arkansas has previously met
Georgia three times in football.
The two teams met most recently
in the 1987 Liberty Bowl, with
Georgia prevailing 20-17. The
first two meetings were victories
for the Razorbacks in the 1969
Sugar Bowl and the 1976 Cotton
Bowl.

SEC: Curry unhappy team won’t face Auburn
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Bill
Curry finally faces a football
schedule that doesn’t include Au
burn.
Some coaches might like it.
Curry doesn’t.
Some people might wonder why
Curry would like to have the
Southeastern Conference’s domi
nant team on the schedule.
“We need to play Auburn at least
10 times to have the opportunity to
win,” sakkCurry, entering his first
season as coach at Kentucky.
It will be the first year a Curry-
coached team hasn’t faced Aubum.
He lost all seven meetings when he
was coaching at Georgia Tech and
wasn’t able to beat the Tigers
during his three seasons at Ala
bama.
“As great as they are, we need to
play them," Curry said Wednesday
during the second day of the SEC
preseason football media event.
“Aubum is the dominant phys
ical team in the league and they
have been, in my opinion, since
1957,” Curry said. “I think Auburn
is clearly the favorite.”
Curry was under a gun during
his stormy tenure at Alabama,
never forgiven for being a Georgia
Tech man.
Ray Goff, entering his
second season at Georgia, was
asked about stressing the passing
game.
“We felt like we were able to
throw the ball better last year than
in quite some time,” Goff said.
It didn’t take very many passes
to surpass the total of previous sea
sons. Vince Dooley believed in the
grind-it-out approach to football,
stressing the running game
throughout his 25 seasons at
Georgia.
Billy Brewer of Ole Miss
is a changed man going into the
1990 season.
Last year he was under the gun,
facing a possible firing if the Renels
didn’t show improvement from two

consecutive losing seasons.
Ole Miss showed drastic im
provement, capping a 7-4 regular
season with a Liberty Bowl victory
over Air Force.
The Rebels generally are re
garded as a darknorse contender in
the SEC race, but the last time
they came off a winning season in
1986, they fell into the tank, going
3-8.
"We were coming back in the
teeth of probation. Brewer said.
