It got a complete game from

It got a season-best effort from
the defense.
It got a solid 34-10 win over
Vanderbilt, a good feeling going
into the bye week, and a reason to
believe anything can happen in its
next game against the reviled
Florida Gators.

A Florida goal in the final min

the Bulldogs soccer team from
recording back-to-back upsets of
SEC East rivals Florida and
South Carolina, as the Gators
(11-4-2, 5-1-2 SEC) snuck by
Georgia (12-3-1, 5-3-0 SEC) 1-0 at
the UGA Soccer Stadium.
“That’s Just unfortunately

“We know we’ve still got a

luckily we ended our seven-game

At the very most, it gives the
Bulldogs a couple of weeks to

Ordinance leads
to evictions for
several students
By CAREY O’NEIL
The Red & Black
University student Matt
Daniel was leaving class on
Oct. 2 when he got a call
saying he and his three
roommates were being
evicted and had 30 days to
move.
They weren't behind on
their rent or rude to neigh
bors, Daniel said. But they
are four unrelated people
living in a part of Athens
where it’s illegal for more
than two people from dif
ferent families to share the
same living quarters.
“I cannot believe the
rule,” Daniel, a fifth-year
from Social Circle, said. “I
don’t think it’s fair at all.”
When he got the call,
Daniel rushed home from
class and met with an
Athens-Clarke County offi
cial.
“I honestly thought it
was a prank,” he said. “I
was arguing a bit against
her, like ‘I just can’t believe
this.’”
Daniel’s roommate,
Jeremy Fermin, soon
arrived at the house and
talked to the official while
Daniel called his other
roommates.
“I watched the ordi
nance lady go down the
street to all these other col
lege houses,” said Fermin,
Univ. researcher says
cigarette ban too lax
By JUSTIN CREWS
The Red & Black
Though sweet-tasting cigarettes with flavors such as
vanilla, strawberry or clove are now banned, a University
researcher is saying the ban does not go far enough.
President Barack Obama signed into law the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in June,
which banned all flavors of cigarettes except menthol.
Jessica Muilenburg, researcher and assistant profes
sor in the University’s College of Public Health, recently
completed a study of the smoking habits of more than
4,000 middle and high school students. Muilenburg and
Jerome Legge, also a University researcher, found men
thol smokers consistently smoked a higher amount of
tobacco than non-menthol smokers.
“I think the intention [of the legislation] was to keep
cigarettes out of the hands of minors,” Muilenburg said
in a telephone interview Friday. "The thinking was that
the flavored cigarettes are more likely to be smoked by
kids who aren’t allowed to smoke.”
But Muilenburg said the ban has been ineffective at
its goal of combating underage smoking.
“They need to add menthols to the ban,” she said.

a junior from Hinesville. “a
lot of people are OK
because they’re living with
siblings, but we ran into a
lot of other neighbors who
are being evicted.”
Fermin explained that
soon after arriving in the
neighborhood in August, a
neighbor reported several
nearby houses as poten
tially being in violation of
the ordinance.
Daniel said his neigh
bor’s problems could have
been fixed without involv
ing the government.
“I think, from an indi
vidual standpoint, if our
next-door neighbor had a
problem with us she could
be an adult about it and
knock on our door,” he said.
The complaint the neigh
bor filed cited parking
problems as the instigating
issue, he said.
“We don’t throw parties.
We’re just living in a house,”
Fermin said. “I can under

but there’s no way we were.
She should have said some
