Dogs' 196.850-196.825 victory over
top-ranked Florida represented a
historic chapter in the series

on the beam in the final rotation

the Gym Doga built a command
ing .650 lead through three rota

Men’s basketball team tops Razorbacks
BY LAWRENCE CONNEFF
The Red & Buck
The Georgia men’s basketball team found some
front court scoring Saturday night, propelling the
team to a resounding 82-69 win over the Arkansas
Razorbacks at Stegeman Coliseum.
After struggling to give the team a balanced
attack over the last month, the Bulldogs’ four post
players combined to score 29 points against the
Razorbacks, led by Jeremy Price's 14 points.
"I think it kind of put our guards at ease a little
bit,” said senior center Dave Bliss, who had eight
points and five rebounds in the first half.
"When we have a post attack, I think we’re pret
ty good offensively. I thought we did a good job of
sharing the ball and playing like a team, and that
really helped feed our offense," Bliss said.
Georgia got things off and running, scoring 15 of
the team's first 18 points to open things up for the
guards.
Junior shooting guard Billy Humphrey took it
from there, scoring a career-high tying 24 points on
6-of-10 shooting from the floor.
“We really moved the ball well as a team and
made extra plays, and I thought that had the
most to say about having a good offensive rhythm
the rest of. the game,” head coach Dennis Felton
said.
“I Just looked at it for the first time, and I’m

Athens
mayor
provides
insight
BY TAMARA BEST
The Red & Black
Athens-Clarke County Mayor
Heidi Davison spoke on campus
about the difficulties of imple
menting policy as a woman and
the efforts the town is taking to
combat the drought.
Davison’s lecture began the
weekly Friday Women Speakers
Series, hosted by the Institute for
Women Studies.
She offered a few anecdotes to
illustrate the situations she some
times faces as a female politician.
“I’m surrounded most of the
time by men. It’s a fact of my
work,” Davison said.
The mayor recalled an instance
in which she attended a ribbon
cutting ceremony for a building.
She said a fellow politician passed
by her. greeting the other male
politicians, and later returned to
greet her.
“I honestly don’t think it
occurred to him,” Davison said.
“You walk into all these types of
environments, so when I walk in I
stick out like a sore thumb.”
Davison said she believes men
and women approach policy-mak
ing from different angles and with
different styles of leadership, but
both work together to evoke
change. Pointing to the 2008 pres
idential race, she cited candidate
Hillary Clinton as an example of
how the country is maturing in its
acceptance of female leadership.
“It is a daunting feeling some
times, but women need to be at
the table to make policy,” Davison
said. “Women bring a different
tone and it is one that should be
sought after, respected and
used.”
