Spiraling back
to the beam
By DARREN EPPS
The Red * Black
There Is no draft to prepare for, no advertising
endorsements waiting, and there is still a chance of
another crippling injury. But Stacey Galloway has
found a reason to continue her gymnastics career
for one more year following a devastating anterior
cruciate ligament injury in her left knee last sea
son, which put her career in jeopardy.
“I never wanted to quit,” said the senior from
Ontario, Canada. “And it’s not that I had a bunch
of individual goals, because I don’t. I came back
because I want the team to come away with as
much as (it) can."
Galloway did exactly that against Louisiana
State two weeks ago, when she nailed her beam
routine — the final performance of the competition
— to push the Gym Dogs past the Tigers and pre
serve their perfect season.
“A lot more went into that win than Stacey’s
beam routine,” head coach Suzanne Yoculan said.
“But not everyone else was under the pressure she
was in. It was an excellent performance."
Galloway’s beam performance at LSU seemed to
be the perfect way to cap off a long recovery period
that Included 16 months of rehabilitation and fears
of another knee injury.
“Rehabilitation was hell, and I wouldn’t wish it
on anyone,” said Galloway, who is currently helping
sophomore Kathleen Shrieves deal with her ACL
injury. “But I hope no one gave up on me, because I
never gave up on myself.”
The injury occurred during the first meet of the
season last year when Galloway was landing her
dismount off the uneven bars. She knew even
before she got to the hospital that her junior sea
son was over.
“Stacey could have packed her bags and said,
‘I’ve had enough,’ ” head coach Suzanne Yoculan
said. “She only had one year of eligibility left, so she
could have easily decided to give it up. But I think
we’re all glad she didn’t."
But rehabilitation wasn’t the only hardship
Galloway had to face. Returning to practice and
facing the bars again initially caused her some wor
ries.
“At first I thought about it a lot, and when I

landed I’d be kind of nervous,” Galloway said. “But
now I’m more focused on my routine, so I don’t let
it consume me anymore.”
But even more amazing about Galloway’s deci
sion to return are the numerous feats she had
already accomplished before she even arrived at
Georgia. Galloway was an alternate on the
Canadian Olympic Team, a five-year member of the
Canadian National Team, and was Canadian
National Champion on three events in 1994. She
also created the "Galloway Giant” on bars that
teammate Jenni Beathard currently uses.
Still, Galloway remains modest about her previ
ous feats.
“It doesn’t really matter what I accomplished in
the past,” Galloway said. “I’m proud of what I’ve
done, but right now, my focus is on this team.”
Now with the injury behind her and two months
of competition left in her career, Galloway said she
hopes to finish her tenure at Georgia with the sat
isfaction of leading the team to its second straight
national title.
“It makes me feel good to be a key to this team's
success,” Galloway said. “Being an upperclassman
and a person people look up to really makes me
want to help the team be as great as possible.”

Lt. T.O. Cochran of
the Athens-Clarke Vice Unit
said his department doesn't
actively pursue gambling as a
crime.
“We do not have a
proactive type of approach
to gambling; it’s more reactive,”
Cochran said. “When a
complaint or information
is received concerning a gam
bling organization, we will start
our investigation and
determine what is going on.”
However, Cochran said the
complaints are few and
there hasn’t been an investiga
tion by his department in some
time.
“Most of our time is spent in
drug enforcement,” Cochran
said. “The victims in drug-
related crimes are more
obvious, and in most cases, the
victimization is extremely
severe in one form or another.
Therefore, it calls for most of
our resources."
Bill Bracewell, head of the
University’s student judicial
program, said the student
handbook has only one
gambling policy regarding
games of chance conducted by
student organizations.
For example, raffling off a big-
money item to raise funds for

academic scholarships is pro
hibited.
But bookies or individual
students who gamble are not
addressed by the University,
due to the presence of a pre
existing state law.
“If you don’t want to be a
law-abiding citizen, then you
need to be ready to deal with
the consequences,” Bracewell
said. “You can go to jail, lose all
your money and deal with peo
ple who do not have your best
interest in mind.”
But Alex said the Georgia
law against games of chance
runs contradictory to having a
state-run lottery, something
even Bracewell calls a “mixed
message.”
“I think gambling should be
illegal, but then again, I’m going
to school for free (with the
HOPE scholarship) because
people gamble on the lottery,”
Alex said. “There’s nobody that
can tell me that the lottery isn't
gambling; it's the state’s casi
no.”
But despite all the problems
he said gambling has caused
him, Mike said he will continue
to do it.
“If I sat here and told you
that I would not gamble next
year, I would be flat-out lying,"
he said. “Right now I love it, I
love the action. But at least for
the next couple of years, my
days of watching football and
getting excited is not going to
be the same without money on
It”
