about scholarships."
Georgia, Georgia Tech and West
Point all offered Steve athletic
scholarships. “I came to
Georgia." he recounted, "because
I liked the atmosphere and the
football tradition. And I’m here
at Georgia to do the best I can.”
The “best he can" has payed
off for Steve. With a starting

his ultimate goal, “a shot at the

Open house
precedes
Dixie 500 race

Atlanta International Raceway
this Sunday, Oct. 31, with an
Open House for the “Walter

annual running of the 500-mile,
328-lap, Winston Cup Grand Na
tional race that closes the South’s
super speedway season for 1976.
Fans are invited to the track for
a free afternoon when they can
drive the family car on the half
mile long, 24-degree banked turns
and quarter mile straights where
the Petty. Pearson, Allison, Baker
and Yarborough names will shine
the following Sunday afternoon in
the $159,000 race. Os course the
fans be running under controlled
conditions at about one third of
the 160 mile-per-hour racing
speed.
For the curious, who have never
had a chance to see one of the
racing stock cars up close, there
will be some of the Dixie 500
entries on display along with
show cars and different types of
new automobiles.
Also expected to be on hand
will be some of the drivers en
tered in the Dixie 500.
As a special treat for fans at
tending the Open House, the
management of A.I.R. has
arranged for 25 cent hot dogs
and dime Cokes to be available
at the raceway's concession
stands.
Formal racing, activity at the
track will get underway on
Thursday, Nov. 4 when registra
tion opens at 7 a.m. The initial
practice session on the 1.522 mile
track is slated to get underway at
11 a.m. for cars completing the
mandatory safety and technical
inspection by NASCAR officials.
The first qualifying session is set
for 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon
when the fastest 15 cars will be
taken in time trials at 2 p.m. on
Friday followed by the first
qualifying session for the Baby-
Grand entries for Saturday after
noon's Patrick Henry 76 kilo
meter race.
Saturday will be a busy day at
the track as the final six spots in
the Dixie 500 field are filled in 2
p.m. time trials. The final Baby-
Grand qualifying will preceed it
at 1 p.m. and the Capri, Pinto,

Following completion of a study
of the license-fee structures of the
11 Western States, game and fish
officials in New Mexico have
come to the conclusion that
hunting and fishing there is a
relative bargain. The study
revealed that the cost of a
resident general hunting and
fishing license in New Mexico
was 42 percent less than the
average price of a similar license
in other Western States ($15.75
compared to a $27 average).

Sports and the lonely people
By Dr. John Earl Raber
North Georgia College
“Look at all the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?”
are the words from a popular
song by Simon and Garfunkel. In
away. however, the words point
up the plight of millions of
people on a daily basis.
As family size gets smaller,
houses get bigger, and when cities
grow to the extent that you don’t
know your nieghbor, there is the
sudden realization of loneliness in
many of us. A loneliness that can
often only be cured by the
nearness of people.
In order to substitute people for
loneliness, you need people and,
what better place to find them
than in the world of sports.
Much can be said about the
negative and positive value of
sports, but when you realize the

benefits of socialization, together
ness, and friends, the scale
weighs heavily on the positive
side.
It might be a pee-wee football
game in a small rural community,
or perhaps a tennis match in the
astrodome. Then again it could
be 60,000 people at a Georgia
football game, or perhaps a soft
ball game in a small Midwestern
town.
Whether it’s for the active
involvement in the many aspects
of sports or just sitting and
watching, sports bring people
together.
The chill of a crisp fall night

local high school football stadium
to cheer. They come not just to
cheer but to see old friends, and
join together in a common cause
of oneness.

The togetherness of people and
sports is one of the beautiful and
perhaps warmest aspects of life.
When people get together to
scream, holler, cry and smile at a
sporting event, it is done in
unison. They have come together
for a common cause, to eliminate
all the lonely people.
The state of Montana has
initiated a nongame certificate
designed to provide funds for
nongame birds, fish and mam
mals. Purchase is voluntary. Vern
Craig, spokesman for the
Montana Department of Fish and

can now stand up and be
counted.” A certificate sells for
$5 and includes a decal to show
you have put your money where
