Court allows 17-year-old to change his name to Trout
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Remember the Johnny Cash song “A Boy
Named Sue?” Meet Trout. His new full name is Trout Fishing in
America. Judge Patrick McMahon thought the idea sounded fishy, but
he signed papers Friday officially changing 17-year-old Peter Eastman
Jr.’s name. “This may cause you no end of trouble in your life,” McMahon
cautioned. Trout said he wanted to name himself after Richard
Brautigan’s 1967 counterculture book “Trout Fishing in America.” “Most
people say this is a cool thing,” he said. Trout said he wanted his new
name on his high school diploma as a way to show his independence. “It
is a breaking away,” he said. “I am just saying, 'I am not this little kid
anymore. I want to be my own person.”’ Carpinteria High School officials
balked, so Trout went to court. His father, Peter Eastman Sr., paid the
$182 filing fee as a graduation present “I am proud of Trout,” Eastman
said. “The change in names has not interrupted our relationship. I will
# address him as Trout because that honors his choice.”

Mariencheck
By CJ. JOHNSON
Staff Writer
Throughout his four years at Georgia, Bobby
Mariencheck has proven a lot to himself as a
tennis player and as a student. But one goal has
eluded this year’s senior captain: a national
championship.
“I’m not going to say that losing the national
championship would not be a big disappoint
ment,” Mariencheck said. “I just look back and
remember a lot of times where I, personally, felt
burned out by the grind of the past three years
because of two national finals and those heart
breaking losses to Southern Cal. But the want
and drive is still there. Just getting ready for the
SEC’s next week I’ve never felt so motivated to
make a final push and try to win these last two
tournaments.”
If the team fails to accomplish the goals of
winning the SEC and national tournaments, in
dividually Mariencheck has nothing to hang his
head about. During his stay at Georgia, he has
been both a stellar athlete along with upholding
his duties as a student. An English major and a
solid “B” student, Mariencheck plans to apply to
law school after graduation and hopefully attend
school at Georgia.
If the three-time doubles All-American can
maneuver his way around the courtroom like he
has maneuvered his way around the tennis
courts, then he may never lose a case.
Mariencheck has dazzled Georgia fans with out
standing play over the last four years and his
list of accomplishments is top-notch: three-time
doubles All-American with an overall record of
69-36, overall singles record of 111-42, two-time
team NCAA finalist and two-time SEC champi
on. Since coming to Georgia in 1990,
Mariencheck has never been on a team that has
finished lower than No. 4 in the final national
rankings. All of these accomplishments,
Mariencheck believes, can be attributed to one
factor, Coach Manuel Diaz.
“He has been a father figure to me ever since
I came on this campus,” said the Memphis,
Tenn., native. “He has taught me how to be not
near end of glorious career
Senior Bobby Mariencheck is still
looking for a national championship.
only a great player, but a great person. In the
process, not compromising either for the gain of
the other. He really has been the greatest influ
ence on me and he is definitely the selling point
of the program.”
Along with being a father figure, Diaz has
also worked with Mariencheck to improve his
game.
“He is so good with all the players,” said
Mariencheck. “Because he’s been there (All-
American 1974-75) so he knows what you’re go
ing through out on the court. And he also knows
that I’m going to struggle academically and that
I’ve got problems off the court as opposed to a
coach that is so far removed from time in school
that he may not be able to relate. I have been
honored to play for him.”
This year is different from all others for
Mariencheck because of the loss of former dou
bles player and outstanding singles player,
Wade McGuire. McGuire was the definition of
leadership for the Bulldogs during his four
years. Although Mariencheck feels the need to
be a leader, he sees this year’s team as different
from teams of the past.
“Wade just led by example on the court,” said
the All-American. “Now, everybody has to rally
around a group of guys. I think it works to our
advantage because then you are not depending
on one person as much and everyone is con
tributing.”
As far as being a leader, Mariencheck takes a
different approach. Earning the respect of his
teammates is most important because he feels
that is the key to being a good leader.
“Just because a guy is captain doesn’t mean
the guys are going to respect him,” said
Mariencheck, who has been nationally ranked as
high as 17 in singles during his career.
“Everyday you have to go out and earn respect
from your guys. When I look at how everybody
has worked so hard to get where we are it is
great to assume leadership. These guys want to
work hard so it’s not really leadership, it’s just
real easy to go out and do.”
Mariencheck labels his experience at Georgia
“a dream come true.” Despite all the excitement
and all the victories he has earned on the courts
of Henry Field Stadium, he would like people to
remember him simply as someone who genuine-,
ly cared about the fans. Mariencheck is the type
who would, on the court, seem superhuman as
he destroyed opponent after opponent, and min
utes later would sit down and introduce himself
to a young fan.
“I would like to tell the student body ‘thank
you, m Mariencheck said. “I owe them everything.
Their support is so important because without
them the NCAAs would not be possible.”
Whether the Dogs win the national champi
onship this year or not, senior Bobby
Mariencheck’s name will definitely be remem
bered with the likes of McGuire, A1 Parker,
Patricio Arnold and Allen Miller, because he,
like the others, epitomizes the spirit of Georgia
tennis.
