6A I Thursday, December 7, 2006 | The Red & Black Finals Edition YEAR IN REVIEW IM fields intact after tailgating By KELLY PROCTOR kproctor@randb.com The intramural fields will likely will be used again next football season as a parking place for tailgaters’ cars. “We anticipate we will be” using the fields in Fall 2007, subject to approval by the Office for Student Affairs, said George Stafford, associ ate vice president for Auxiliary and Administrative Services. Student Government Association President Jamie Peper said that in her meet ings with Vice President of the Office for Student Affairs Rodney Bennett, he seemed “quite pleased” with the pro gram so far. Bennett himself couldn’t be reached for comment. The parking program debuted this Fall after a deci sion in April to let fans park on the intramural fields, thereby keeping their cars off sidewalks and cutting down on traffic flow problems. The program initially met heavy resistance from stu dents who feared their sports fields would be littered on and torn up. But the students’ battle lost steam after students found minimal tailgating trash. “There was virtually no damage, as we suspected,” Stafford said, adding that the parking area helps keep traf fic patterns smooth after the games. Peper, who, with her SGA colleagues, led the charge against the fields’ use, said she was happy with the result. “I haven’t gotten student concerns about injuries” from trash left on the fields, or complaints from the intramu ral teams, Peper said. An SGA member visited the fields after every game and to sweep the fields for trash after cleaning crews were done, Peper said.

An SGA campaign to not use the fields for gameday parking lost momentum because the fields haven’t been damaged this semester. “I am satisfied with the way Student Affairs held their word,” she said. But if there are problems next year, she said, SGA will “reignite advocating against it.” Women’s swim motivated by loss By MEGAN HARRISON mharrison@randb.com The Lady Bulldogs were less than a sec ond away from a second straight National Championship in March. The top-ranked swim team went head-to- head with Auburn for the National Championship title and lost by the smallest margin in the history of the meet — three points or one race. The three-day meet, held in Athens over the University’s spring break, came down to the final relay of the meet. In order to win, Georgia had to beat Arizona. If not, Auburn would take home to title. Georgia lost to Arizona by .61 seconds in the 400 yard freestyle relay, giving Auburn the National Championship. Not all was sour, however, for the Bulldogs, as the relay team of Tricia Harm, Mary DeScenza, Jessica Cole and Kara Lynn Joyce did what the Arizona team could not by setting a new American record. Arizona had three foreign swimmers, disqualifying them from the American record. In the race Joyce had the fastest split in history. Although two of the four relay members graduation, the team retained the other two, including Joyce, so the outlook is promising. Georgia’s loss at Nationals was the only one the women suffered all season. “That was the hardest loss I have ever had,” senior Haley Chura said. She added that it was disappointing to lose to Auburn SCOTT CHILDS | The Red & Black A Freshman butterfly swimmer Lisa Caprioglio competes in the women’s 100- yard fly race on Saturday afternoon. by the closest of margins. Nine months later, the team is working to get back in position to win the champi onship. Chura said assistant coach Harvey Humphries posted a Mark Twain quote on his door that says, “It’s better to deserve something and not be recognized for it than to be honored for something that you do not deserve.” “That quote is so perfect,” Chura said. The team is using the quote as motiva tion, and it appears to be working early this season. At their last meet, the Lady Bulldogs beat five other teams at the Georgia Invitational in the same waters where they came up short for the champi onship. Student Notes™ is NOW HIRING!
