Georgia ‘sucking’ it up
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Well
that sucked.
Georgia got worked by
Tennessee in Knoxville
Saturday, showing no signs of
life in a 45-19 loss.
Quarterback Joe Cox and
linebacker Rennie Curran both
used some form the word
“suck” to describe the
Bulldogs’ flop against the Vols,
one that sent them to 3-3 for
the first time under Mark
Richt.
And, whether Georgia play
ers think they’re part of a
team that should be .500 or
not, it was appropriate
because they are.
“I don’t think we are [a .500
team] and I don’t think any
body on this team thinks we
should be,” Cox said. “But
that’s the way it is right now,
and the only thing you can do
is just keep playing. It’s tough
taking one on the chin like
that, but we’ve got to find a
way to bounce back.”
Study tests how exercise affects anxiety
Women more
likely to report
By MARIANNE ENGLISH
The Red & Black
University researchers are
recruiting participants for a
six-week preliminary study to
analyze the relationship
between exercise and chronic
anxiety in women between
the ages of 18 and 39.
According to the National
Institute of Mental Health,
anxiety is a natural way to
deal with stress and is char
acterized by worry and appre
hension. Chronic anxiety is
described as when an individ
ual has exaggerated anxiety,

“Nah man,” said receiver
A.J. Green, before pausing and
reconsidering his answer. “I

going to have to keep fighting

despite the lack of stressful

“A large number'of studies
have reported that people
said they felt calmer and had
less stress and anxiety after
exercising,” said Patrick
O’Connor, kinesiology profes
sor and co-director of the
University’s Exercise
Psychology Laboratory: “In
our study, we’re looking at
whether exercise training [or
multiple sessions of exercise]
would help people with chron
ic anxiety feel better.”
The pilot study is funded
by the College of Education,

DOGS
Dogs’ offense
‘pretty pathetic’
By FLETCHER PAGE
The Red & Black
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Thomas Settles,
Georgia team chaplain, put his arm around
receiver Michael Moore as they walked off
the field in Neyland Stadium after the 45-19
loss to Tennessee.
The senior walked slowly, his eyes study
ing the ground below, as if searching for
direction following a misguided offensive
effort.
The Bulldogs’ scoring unit wandered aim
lessly against the Volunteers, posting 241
yards and three points. The offense was out
scored by Georgia’s special teams and
defense, which combined to score 16.
The offensive futility led a reporter after
the game to question playcalling, and coach
Mark Richt was quick to back his offensive
coordinator, Mike Bobo, following the game.
“I like Mike Bobo’s play calling,” he said.
“That’s why he’s my coordinator and calling
plays. I guess you don’t.”

ers are recruiting women to
partake in the project, and
eligible women will receive
monetary compensation for
their participation.
“Many studies have looked
at the relationship between
depression and exercise,”
O’Connor said in a telephone
interview Wednesday. “Anxiety
is an even bigger mental
health area that has not been
studied extensively yet.”
He also said the study will
look at anxiety and exercise
training in women because in
general, women are more like
ly to report it. During the
course of the project, subjects
will take part in interviews
and participate in supervised

battle swine flu
Number of
cases varies
By DALLAS DUNCAN
The Red & Black
With HINI influenza
continuing to affect stu
dents, and the annual
onslaught of seasonal flu
threatening to rear
its ugly head, col
leges across the
state are pumping
up influenza preven
tion efforts.
In an Oct. 5
update on the
University Health
Center’s Flu Update
Web site, medical
director Ronald
Forehand said 1,113
students were seen with
influenza-like illness.
The update mentions a
per-week decrease in the
number of people with
influenza symptoms, but
Forehand cautions stu
dents against trying to
interpret this as a trend.
“This week, for instance,
the number of cases seems
to be increasing again,” he
Troop surge may
affect Univ. ROTC
By JULIA CARPENTER
The Red & Black
Some students at the University may have bigger
worries than just midterms.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top military command
er in Afghanistan, recently urged President Barack
Obama to send tens of thousands of additional troops
into the war-tom Arab country. Now, some ROTC stu
dents at the University are preparing for the possibility
of deployment.
Carole House, an international affairs major from
Columbus, said she will be deployed upon graduation to
wherever the American military presence is strongest at
that time. Looking at current events, she believes that
presence will most likely be growing in Afghanistan.
“With the world’s political climate now, everyone has
the possibility to be deployed,” said Paige Pipes, a crimi
nal justice and sociology major from Dacula. “It doesn’t
matter if you’re active duty or Reserves. They fulfill spe
cific needs with specific units. I’m not exactly sure how
the system works, but if they need an infantry unit, that
unit deployed could be from the Reserves or from active
duty.”
Maj. Kevin Fracassa, ROTC Program Coordinator for
the University, said students in ROTC are not deployed
until after graduation. Their chance of being sent over
seas then depends on the area of specialty they have
specified previously such as infantry or National

told The Red & Black
Thursday. “I expect these
‘waves’ of disease will con
tinue and probably increase
in the winter.”
“I expect that this dis
ease will persist on campus
for quite some time. It
should slow down dramati
cally when most students
develop immunity either
by having the infection
not the desired way
or by obtaining
the vaccines, which
is the preferred and
safest way to
achieve immunity,”
he said.
Stephen Brown,
associate dean of
student services for
Mercer University’s
Macon campus, told
The Red & Black
there were 105 suspected
cases of influenza-like ill
ness at Mercer as of Oct. 2.
Brown said students
seem to be calming down
since the original pandem
