But that’s because their next opponent is no cupcake Idaho State squad. It’s not even a middle-of-the-road con ference matchup. 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 back and Heisman Trophy candidate 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 See NEWTON, Page 6 rrm Wrnmm ftyJpi ij§ PAKMI VARNER | TANARUS R*t> Buu ▲ Jaideep Sidhu, a master’s student from Chandigarh, India, celebrates Diwali Sunday night.

Page 5 Vol. üB, No. 49 I Athens, Georgia School fights to keep jobs 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 See MONEY, Page 3 SOUND OFF yt What makes | you mad?
