their record to 5-5.
But that’s because their next opponent is no cupcake

It’s an undefeated Auburn squad who is No. 2 in the
country.
“As soon as that clock struck in fourth quarter zero zero,
Auburn came up,” said senior comerback Vance Cuff, who
had his first career interception Saturday. “You can tell
around the whole team we came in here, we just had a 55-7
win. nobody jumping around [and] celebrating because we
know what’s up for next week.”
“What’s up for next week” is an offense averaging 509.4
yards per game and 42.2 points per game behind its quarter

That’s what it is like for University

Georgia defense prepares
to stop Auburn’s Newton
By NICK PARKER
The Red and Black
Georgia had just won 55-7 over
Idaho State, and brought its
record back to .500 at 5-5, but all
the questions in post-game inter
views for players and coaches cen
tered around Saturday's game
against Auburn and how Georgia
tries to do what has seemingly
been proved impossible thus far
this season: Stop Cam Newton.
Newton, the likely Heisman
Trophy winner, leads the
Southeastern Conference’s top
offense —one that is averaging
42.2 points per game.
The undefeated Auburn Tigers
head into the game against
Georgia needing a win to maintain
their national championship
hopes. With Newton and the Tigers
only a week away, Grantham was
can do so privately, said Indian
Student Association President
Anklt Agrawal.
They can light oil lamps called
diyas in their homes, organize
small prayer ceremonies, exchange
sweets and clean their homes to
welcome the goddess of wealth.
And about 20 students attended
the Indian Association of Greater
Athens’ Diwali program, dinner and
dance Sunday night.
Even though Indian students
cannot celebrate as they do at
home, one Indian professor of bio
logical and agricultural engineering
said the spiritual significance of the
holiday is more important.
“I think rituals are fine,” said
Brahm Verma. “But they’re only the
very beginning.”
asked for a comparison of Newton’s
playmaking abilities from his NFL
days, and the only one he could
muster for Newton was “Mike
Vick.”
"[Michael Vick] is a little differ
ent in that he isn’t as big as
[Newton]. But [Newton] is really
talented. He can run it, he can
throw it,” Grantham said. “He’s so
big it’s hard to tackle the guy with
one guy sometimes. And we got to
swarm.”
The good news for Georgia is
they won’t have to reinvent the
wheel defensively when it comes
to trying to contain Newton. In
games against Mississippi State
and Florida earlier this season, the
Bulldogs received a heavy dose of
the spread option rushing attack
that Auburn likes to run with

Ag has taken
budget blows
By DALLAS DUNCAN
The Red & Black
S2O million gone.
That’s what a 24 percent
budget cut to the College
of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences
meant during Fiscal Years
2010 and 2011.
“This is a lot of money,”
said Scott Angle, CAES
dean. “The way the budget
process works, we don’t
give the money back to the
state. That money wasn’t
there to begin with— and
[the state is] only funding
us 76 percent of what our
budget was two years ago.
That’s what we’ve had to
live with.”
In February, the
University released a docu
ment to the Board of
Regents listing S6O million
worth of budget cuts.
Though this document was
titled as a “draft for discus
sion only," it set off a wave
of panic as administrators
reacted to the effects the
proposed cuts could have
on their colleges.
“The original proposal
back at the beginning of
the legislative session was
essentially to close 4-H
camps and significantly
downsize 4-H programs
throughout the counties.
None of that happened,”
Angle said. “Yet there were
still budget problems in
the college that we have to
address. We have devel
oped our own college plan
to deal with the 24 percent
budget cuts which does
have an impact on [4-H,
County Extension and
research farms].”
The college’s strategic
plan included retirement
incentives, selling several
research farms and restruc
turing the Georgia 4-H
Program and County
Extension services.
“We’ve not laid anyone
off,” Angle said. “The incen
tive was an offer for a one
year hire back at one-third
pay. And a lot of people
took that.”
Roger Ryles, the interim
director of development for
CAES, was one of the 4-H
leaders who accepted the
