Oct. 27 will go a long way in
determining the Southeastern
Conference’s Eastern Division
title.
Two key matchups this
Saturday — Georgia-Florida
and Tennessee-South Carolina
— pit teams at the top of the
East against each other.
In the No. 15 Bulldogs’ (5-1,
4-1 SEC) case, they face a No. 6
Gator (5-1, 4-1) squad that has
sat on a painful 23-20 loss to
Auburn for two weeks.
Georgia coach Mark Richt
said Florida’s off week to pre
pare, coupled with its three-
game winning streak over the
Bulldogs, will make the already
difficult matchup that much
more intense.

“We’ve got a bunch of guys
that have to believe they can
do it, and we have to play bet
ter than we’ve been playing,”
Richt said.
In a 43-29 victory against
Kentucky, junior offensive line
man Jon Stinchcomb injured
his groin, and sophomore
defensive tackle Jon Sullivan
sprained his MCL, limiting
them in practice this week..
Richt listed both as proba
ble for Florida, although sopho
more running back Musa
Smith, who is still ailing from a
chronic groin injury, could miss
his second consecutive game.
“Musa, out of the three, is
just not looking very well at
all,” Richt said.
Bulldog redshirt freshman
quarterback David Greene
passed for a career-high 364 yards
and three touchdowns. Two of
Greene’s TDs were long passes to
true freshman Fred Gibson, who
set a school record with 201
receiving yards in the win.
However, defensively, the
Bulldogs were burned for 493
yards, including 377 yards pass
ing from Wildcat quarterback
Jared Lorenzen.
Richt said Georgia must
improve its pass coverage, and
cut down on penalties (nine
against Kentucky) in order to
compete with the Gators.
“There are so many things
we’ve got to get better at to get
in the game.”
IMMIGRATION LAWS
Tracking
may cost
students
By AMBER BILLINGS

After a Senate subcommittee recently met to dis
cuss the revamping of immigration laws, University
officials are waiting to see where the financial bur
den will rest for a possible tracking system for for
eign students.
Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Jon Kyi (R-
Ariz.) said schools and international students need
to share some of the responsibility in helping keep
the immigration system up-to-date.
“Students and universities have to bear part of
the expenses,” Kyi said during a Oct. 15 Senate sub
committee hearing.
Mary Ann Kelly, associate director of the
University’s Office of International Education, said
her staff members are willing to do what they have
to do to help the Immigration and Naturalization
Service.
“The system is so out-of-date. It needs work,” she
said. “Funding has to come from the federal govern
ment in able to do the system.”
On Oct. 17, Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and
Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) said they will bring for
ward legislation soon to improve access to warning
lists and will possibly implement an automated
entry/exit system.
David Ward, president of the American Council
on Education, told the Senate subcommittee if the
international students had to help pay, it
“would seriously undermine the ability of most for
eign students to enroll at American
colleges.”
Kelly said the project to reassess the INS’s track
ing system is a huge undertaking.
“There’s a lot of tracking going on that people
aren’t aware of,” she said. “It’s not going to plug the
hole.”
Mara Gassman, president of the University’s
Young Democrats, said she was undecided on
whether students and universities should help pay
for the revamping.
“The symbolism is important,” she said. “It casts
suspicion on international students. I’d hate to see
it be a deterrent for people to come here.”
But, Marty Klein, president of the University’s
College Republicans, said he thought it was a good
idea.
“I think it’s reasonable to ask them to pay for
something, but you’d have to look at how much it is
exactly,” he said. “They’ll have to negotiate that
through the legislative process.”

Auburn knocks off Georgia in blood drive challenge
By AMY LEIGH WOMACK
awomack@randb.com
Students helped make the UGA
vs. Auburn Big ChaUenge blood
drive the biggest in both the history
of the University and in northeast
Georgia, according to American Red
Cross representatives.
Although the University donated
614 pints of blood during a period of
three days, Auburn University won
the challenge by coUecting 740
pints.
“It is important to consider the
effects the Sept. 11 attacks had on
blood donation,” said Janet Kinzey,
a Red Cross representative.
“Auburn held (its) drive two
weeks after the attacks, while sever
al drives were held before the con
test on the University campus. So
many people at the University
donated prior to the contest in dorm
drives and other drives on campus,”
she said.
According to American Red Cross
donation eligibility guidelines,
donors are only eligible to donate
once every 56 days. In accordance
UPCOMING DRIVES
Oct. 30
> Myers Hall from 1 to 6 p.m.
>• Reed Hall from 1 to 6 p.m.
Nov. 1
>- College of Pharmacy from noon to
5 p.m.
with this guideline, students who
donated in response to the attacks
would not be eligible to donate until
early to mid-November.
Next year, the drive will take
place before dorm drives are held,
Kinzey said.
“Between the two schools, 1,354
pints of blood were collected,” she
said. “Every pint can save up to
three lives. So by doing the
math, the contest saved 4,062 lives.”
Volunteers and staff aided 86 peo
ple in donating blood when the drive
was only equipped to see 60 to 70
people, she said.
“We were actually having to turn
people away,” said Deanna Esposito,
a junior from Augusta and member
of Students for the American
Red Cross.
There was no way everyone could
have been registered and given the
chance to donate before the closing
of the drive, Kinzey said.
Technical problems on the first
day caused the drive to open later
than originally planned.
“Even if we’d seen the people we
turned away we probably still
wouldn’t have won,” Kinzey said.
She said students should remem
ber that if everyone donated blood
twice a year, there would never be
another shortage.
Taliban leaders disperse weapons
As U.S. warplanes in
Afghanistan attacked areas near
a Taliban front north of Kabul
on Sunday, the Taliban made the
decision to distribute more
weapons across the country.
American media sources var
ied in reporting civilian deaths in
Kabul, which ranged from seven
to 13 people. The Taliban said
Sunday’s raids killed 18 civilians
and wounded 23 more.
Sunday’s edition of the British
newspaper The Observer report
ed that the United Nations will
soon ask the United States for a
halt in the Afghan conflict to
allow time for a large relief opera
tion.
U.N. aid workers have said
they have been delayed or
restricted from carrying out aid
missions.
At a Sunday meeting, Taliban
cabinet members decided to give
troops and citizens more rocket
launchers, heavy machine guns
and anti-aircraft guns.
Mullah Amir Khan Muttaqi,
Taliban Education Minister, said
the Taliban killed 20 to 25 of
more than 100 soldiers in elite
U.S. special forces, which were
reported to have been involved in
the Friday raids.
Air Force Gen. Richard Myers,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said any Taliban state
ments that Taliban troops
caused U.S. casualties were false.
While Sunday’s attacks could
pave the way for a Northern
Alliance invasion of Kabul,
Secretary of State Colin Powell
said he believed thg alliance
should not have a dominant role
in any post-Taliban government.
Powell said, in the interest of
the United States and Britain,
the campaign in Afghanistan
should be finished by the begin
ning of winter.
Officials in Indonesia, the
world’s most populous Muslim
country, warned U.S. leaders of
repercussions from the Islamic
world if the Afghan conflict
extended into the Islamic holy
month of Ramadan, which
begins Nov. 17.
