Rhoden ‘not

It wasn’t supposed to end like
this.
No, for Jaieesa Rhoden, a fifth
year senior from Canada, things
were supposed to play out much
differently.
Coming out of London Central
Secondary School in Ontario, she
was the most highly-touted pros
pect in Canada in the Class of
2006 after posting averages of 27.8
points, eight rebounds, five assists
and three steals per game.
But Rhoden has not been able
to attain the same success at the

She redshirted her freshman
year after she tore the anterior
cruciate ligament and the lateral
meniscus in her right knee. This
was followed by a ankle sprain in
her third year that Rhoden strug

son.
Then last year, hamstring prob
lems set in.
Earlier this year, when it was
discovered another surgery was
needed for Rhoden to be able to
play, she'huddled together with
doctors and head coach Andy
Landers, and they concluded that
her playing career as a Lady
Bulldog was over.
"We started talking about it

sophomore political science major
with pre-law intent from
Statesboro.
Though there have been several
murders and daunting crimes,
North Campus is most infamous
for accidents. According to a local
legend, a boy named William died
one foggy Halloween night after
an unfortunate encounter with a
train in the 19605.

to have another surgery after your
career ends to clean everything
up,” Landers said. “Given the
number of surgeries she’s already
had, she and I both started think
ing the same thing, which was,
‘When is enough enough?’ And it
became altogether possible, that
if we did the surgery, did all the
rehab, came back, that it might
fly apart again. So we just said.
‘This is enough.’ And that deci
sion was finalized in late sum
mer."
But if people think Rhoden is
downtrodden about her string of
injuries ending her playing days,
they could not be more wrong.
“I’m not bitter about it,” she
said. “It’s something you just have

cleared of any
NCAA violation
Loan no issue
with league
By ZACH DILLARD
The Red & Black
Caleb King will not only
come off his two-game sus
pension against Florida,
but the redshirt junior run
ning back wiU not face any
issue with the NCAA.
Georgia’s compliance
office had sent an inquiry
to the conference office on
whether King violated
NCAA rules after a police
report documented that
he accepted a SSOO loan
from a “friend.”
“I did want to let you
know that our compliance
office, in conjunction with
the SEC, has reviewed the
issue [with King] and
determined that no viola
tion occurred," said asso
ciate athletic director
Claude Felton in a press
release.
Police reports docu
mented that King accept

the documents were not

As election nears,
groups gather votes
By KATHRYN INGALL
The Red & Black
Campus groups are putting in their last efforts to get
out the vote by next Tuesday.
“At this point the main focus for us is getting out the
vote,” said Ashley Phillips of the Young Democrats. “We’ll
be calling leaning Democrats and strong Democrats and
make sure they get out.”
The College Republicans will also hold a phone bank
Tuesday. They will call voters who have voted In previous
Republican primaries to vote in the Nov. 2 election.
Students with College Republicans made more than
600 phone calls for 'Nathan Deal and Johnny Isakson
Monday night.
“We’ re focusing mainly on congressional, gubernato
rial and state-wide elections,” said Savanna Reese, a
member of the College Republicans’ executive board.
The Young Democrats will focus on the statewide Roy
Barnes, Michael Thurmond and Carol Porter races.
Phillips said some students are reluctant to do phone
banking because they are afraid they may talk to some
one who just wants to argue.
“It does happen, but most aren’t like that,” Phillips
said.
Although most of the voters called by phone banks

The response from the
SEC compliance office
came at an opportune time
for the Bulldogs.
If the Athletic
Association had not heard
a ruling by Saturday's
game in Jacksonville, Fla.,
coaches would have had to
make a decision whether
to play or sit King —much
like the Bulldogs were
forced to do with A.J.
Green earlier this season.
King is expected to step
in as the backup running
back to sophomore
Washaun Ealey against the
Gators.
The Athletic Association
also stated there will not
be any additional fallout
from the inquiry.
“This should close the
door on that subject,”
Felton said.
