Action taken against cup tossing
By DAN POOL
Staff Writer
Freshman quarterback Joe Du
pree’s interception may not have
been the worst pass thrown in San
ford Stadium Saturday as seven
people were arrested for throwing
cups following an announced
crackdown.
Athletic department and secu
rity officials said cup-tossing inci
dents have snowballed and they
are worried that allowing cups to
be thrown may lead to other objects
being thrown that could cause se
rious injuries.
It has become a game-day tradi
tion to toss plastic cups purchased
at the game from the upper deck of
Sanford Stadium when the team
•cores a touchdown or makes a
good play. At times, hundreds of
cups nave sailed from the upper
deck onto spectators in the lower
deck.
About five years ago a female
student was seriously injured
when an empty half-gallon liquor
bottle hit her in the head when it
was thrown from the upper deck.
Officials fear a' similar injury
could happen again, said Sports In
formation Director Claude Felton.
Greg McGarity, director for fa
cility and event management, said
the athletic department has tried
to control the problem through re
peated warnings in local media.
“We’ve had a number of people
treated from being hit by a cup on
the top of the head,” he said. “We
don’t want a serious injury.”
The seven people arrested were
charged with disorderly conduct, a
misdemeanor which could result in
fines up to $1,000 and up to one
year in jail.
“It (the punishment) does sound
severe, but we have to get it
stopped,” McGarity said.
Sgt. Richard Goodson of the Uni
versity police department said
there has been an increase in cup
tossing this season and students
weren’t taking warnings seriously
before this weekend.
“Hopefully, we let people know
we’re serious about enforcing this,”
he said.
According to police reports, four
of the seven people arrested this
weekend were students. They
were: Brandon Hicks, 846 S. Mil-
ledge Ave.; Bradford Owens, of
Vienna, Ga.; Thomas White, of Co
lumbus, Ga.; and Peter Scholle,
832 College Ave.
The three visitors arrested were:
John Hurst, 150-A Wynborn Ave.,
Athens; Brett Phillips of Clem
mons, N.C.; and John Calhoun.

for education.
Among the programs to be im
plemented, Miller listed a volun
tary pre-kindergarten program, a
summer enrichment program for
gifted students, pay raises for
math and science teachers, an in
crease in the number of computers
in schools, a drug education pro
gram beginning in first grade and a
nigh school sex education pro
grams.
“In the driver’s education
classes, we taught our high school
kids what to do in the front seat of
a car," he said. "We also need to
teach them what to do in the back
seat of a car."
Miller said he doesn’t plan to use
any of the money raised in the lot
tery to support education on the
University level, but he does hope
to avoid further cuts in the Univer
sity System’s budget by making
cuts in other areas of the state’s
budget.
Before leaving the classroom,
Miller reinforced his concern for
environmental issues and ex
pressed his intent if elected to
eliminate sales tax on groceries, re
duce auto insurance rates and
have teacher’s salaries determined
by their performance.
Miller then moved on to Allen’s
Hamburgers where he was em
ployed while attending the Univer-
e looked the place over and
shook hands with patrons and
press before donning an apron to
try his hand again at flipping bur
gers.
He took a good-humored stab at
his opponent while reminiscing
about his days Hipping burgers by
saying, “When I worked here and
burned a burger, I had to take re
sponsibility for it — I couldn’t
blame someone else,” which drew
laughter from the crowd.
Miller talked about the value of
hard work and the importance of
education to him, which he learned
through being brought up in pov
erty and working his way through
college and graduate school.
He then went on to speak at the
Clarke County Democratic Com
mittee’s leadership meeting at the
I think I am the only
person to run for
governor in the past 50
years who has ever
taught in the
classroom.

Days Inn.
Miller again spoke on the impor
tance of education and environ
mental issues in addition to colling
for the unification of the Georgia
Democratic Party.
He said Atlanta Mayor Andrew
Young had telephoned the day of
the run-off to congratulate him on
his victory and pledge his support.
Clay Jones, president of the Uni
versity’s Young Democrats, said
his organization was one of the
sponsors of Miller’s stop in Athens.
“I see Miller as the students’
candidate,” Jones said. “Despite
what people say about students be
coming more conservative.
ALLEN’S
From page 1
Miller, who attended graduate
school at the University, said he
doesn’t regret the time spent in
Athens.
“It was a good time in my life,"
he said.
Miller also used the time to dis
cuss eduation, the mqjor issue of
his campaign.
“Education took me out of the
North Georgia mountains,” he
said.
He quoted disturbing statistics
about Georgia education, stating
that 15 percent of the people in
Georgia are college graduates with
only 8 percent living in South
Georgia.
‘Thirty percent of the jobs cre
ated for the future will require col
lege degrees,” Miller said.
Georgia needs a governor who
will make educational im
provements a top priority, he said.
Miller’s view on education was
supported by Ellen Sumner, a
former University librarian from
1953 until 1985. She remembers
helping Miller on occasions when
he needed to find things in the li
brary.
“He’ll do a lot more for education
in the state as a whole, ” Sumner
said. Miller closed by telling the
crowd he will never forget what it
is like to earn a dollar.
“Ill never forget my roots,” he
said and raised an ice-cold mug of
milk to his lips.
