No more appeals
Players ruled officially ineligible
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Editor
Junior noseguard Curt Douglas,
sophomore defensive tackles Casey
Burnum and George Brewer, and
redshirt freshman defensive tackle
Clay Ware all were officially de
clared academically ineligible for
the entire 1990 season, Head
Coach Ray Goff announced
Tuesday after practice.
“We are disappointed these
young men will not be with our
team this season," head football
coach Ray Goff* said ‘Their indi
vidual cases were acted upon
according to standard University
procedures and I have confidence
the decisions made were in the best
interest of every one concerned."
In order to be academically eli
gible under NCAA regulations the
student-athlete must be enrolled in
school on a full time basis (12
hours minimum), in good academic
standing at the institution, and
must meet the requirements of the
satisfactory progress rule.
Douglas and Barnum, who were
projected starters on the defensive
line, met satisfactory progress
standards but fell short of require
ments to continue in school.
Although Douglas met NCAA
standards, he failed to meet Uni
versity standards for continued en
rollment.
Goff' said Douglas will work at
home in Lincolnton, Ga., for the re
mainder of fall quarter and hopes
he will enroll in junior college and
return to Georgia next year.
Brewer and Ware did not

achieve the necessary hours to
qualify for athletic competition,
but they are not on academic pro
bation and will continue in school.
“Even though George had not ex
hausted all the appeals available to
him, we felt after visiting with his
instructors and counselors that it
would be in his best interest to
commit to a redshirt year,” Goff
said. “This will allow him to re
move the stress related to his aca
demic situation and concentrate on
furthering his education.”
Barnum, who met both NCAA
and University of Georgia require
ments at the end of Spring quarter,
elected to attend summer school to
Barnum: Progress OK,
but GPA not enough
enhance his academic status. He
passed his summer courses, but
due to the increased grade point
average requirement accompa
nying the total hours earned at the
conclusion of the summer quarter,
he did not meet the required GPA
for continued enrollment at the
University.
GofT plans to put the issue be
hind him and concentrate on the
football that lies ahead.
“We need to quit beating a dead
horse,” Goff said. “We need to go
forward from here.”

Toronto tied
for the lead
TORONTO (AP) — Toronto
moved into a first-place tie with
Boston in the American League
East on Tuesday night as Ranee
Mulliniks’ run-scoring pinch single
with two outs in the ninth inning
gave the Blue Jays a 3-2 victory
over the New York Yankees.
The Blue Jays have won five
straight games and 10 of their last
12, to equal Boston at 81-68. The
Blue Jays trailed Boston by 6ka
games on Sept. 4.
Kelly Gruber started the ninth
with a single and Fred McGriff ad
vanced him to second with only his
second career sacrifice. George Bell
was intentionally walked before
Kenny Wiliams sent Gruber to
third with a fly ball to center field.
Jeff Roibinson relieved Lee
Guetterman (10-7) and Mulliniks
hit the first pitch he saw into
center field for his third straight
pinch-hit. Four of the Blue Jays’
last five victories have come in
their final at-bat.
Bud Black (12-10) got the victory
in relief of Dave Stieb despite
giving up Kevin Maas’ 19th homer
of the season, a solo shot to center
that made it 2-2 with two outs in
the eighth. Black was acquired
Monday from Cleveland.
In Cleveland, Charles Nagy won
for the first time in the major
leagues as Cleveland beat Mil
waukee for its sixth victory in
seven games.
Nagy (1-4) gave up three runs,
nine hits, walked two and struck
out a career-high eight in 7 1-3 in
nings before Doug Jones finished
for his 37th save, matching his
team record set in 1988.
The Indians took a 4-3 lead on
Jerry Browne’s RBI double off re
liever Don August (0-3) in the
sixth, after Jeff Manto walked and
moved to second on a sacrifice.

He added that now is the time
for students to get together and
elect another student or someone
who will listen to them.
Blount added that students will
also be able to vote in the race for
the Chief Elected Officer and the
District 9 representative who rep
resents Districts 1 through 4.
Four candidates have an
nounced plans to seek office in Dis
trict 4: Thomas Stubbs, a
University political science major;
John Barrow, a local attorney; Mi
chael Dioguardi, assistant man
ager of the Red and Black Package
Stores; and Jim De La Perriere, a
local realtor and former Clark
County Commission Chairman.
Candidates may qualify to run
for office from Oct. 1 to Oct. 5.
Blount said rumors that he
might seek the office of CEO are
false.
“I do not plan to run for CEO,”
he said, “But I have expressed
some interest in serving as lawyer
for the new government.”

dressed as much as the traffic in
Atlanta.
“Something similar to the mes
sages in Los Angeles and Cali
fornia should be made in Georgia,”
he said.
Joe Burnett, director of the
Athens Downtown Development
Authority said the hype of the
Olympics may have ‘little or no ef
fect” on merchants unless the in
flux of tourists is tremendous.
“We’re hoping the impact will
have a great effect, but we feel
there is no sure way to tell yet,”
Burnett said.
He said the only change Athens
merchants may see is im
provements in lodging around
Athens, such as a new hotel.
Athens merchants will have to
price their merchandise and serv
ices, such as restaurants and car
rentals, competitively, he said.
Escabar said Athens merchants
will be competing with those of At
lanta and other cities for good busi
ness.
One way Athens will succeed in
handling a great amount of tou
rism and promoting a good image
is to get everyone in the commu
nity involved, including University
students, Escabar said.
“It only works when the commu
nity, everyone with different back
grounds, comes to present a unified
pull,” he said.
Elisabeth Ayres, a junior French
major, organized Students for the
Olympics last spring as a way to
raise student awareness and sup
port for the Games.
Ayres said there are plans to
keep the group alive by sponsoring
events to get more student support.
“It was hard to get things going
at first, but support for the group
has grown,” she said.
University President Charles
Knapp said he hopes the Univer
sity will be involved in the plans of
the International Olympic Com
mittee when the Games come in
1996.
