(Cash, Check, Aggie Bucks, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) Aggieland 2003 ATHENS, Ga. — University of Georgia fired assistant bas ketball coach Jim Harrick Jr. on Wednesday after he was accused of academic fraud and paying a former player’s bills. Athletic director Vince Dooley announced that Harrick’s contract would not be renewed when it expires June 30. In the meantime, the son of head coach Jim Harrick remains suspended with pay. Harrick Jr. was at Stegeman Coliseum on Tuesday night when the No. 25 Bulldogs defeated the No. 3 Florida Gators. He watched the game from a tunnel next to the Georgia bench and did not speak with the media. Harrick Jr. was suspended by the school after allegations by former player Tony Cole, who accused the coach of pay ing off phone and hotel bills. Cole has a receipt from Western Union that says .he received $300 from “Jim Harrick” to cover the phone HARRICK, JR. work for charges. Even more serious. Cole charged that he received an “A” for a coaching class taught by Harrick Jr., even though he never attended. Also, Cole alleged the coach did correspondence courses the player took before entering Georgia. Dooley was traveling Wednesday and not immediate ly available for comment. He issued a statement merely say ing Harrick Jr. served at the pleasure of the athletic director. In a related development, the head of Georgia’s Physical Education and Sports Studies department received a letter of reprimand. Harrick Jr. taught a course in the department known as “Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball.” Department head Paul G. Schempp was reprimanded by Arnett C. Mace Jr., interim senior vice president for acade mic affairs and provost. “The university’s internal procedures were not followed in assigning faculty to the particu lar course which is the focus of the current investigation,” Mace said. “Professor Schempp is officially reprimanded for allowing that to happen.” The letter of reprimand becomes a permanent part of Schempp’s personnel file. University president Michael Adams, who was instrumental in the hiring of the senior Harrick in 1999, issued a statement supporting the moves. “I have been kept fully informed of the progress of the investigation and support the appropriate actions taken today by the athletic director and the provost,” Adams said. Former star’s appeal denied By Kelly P. Kissell THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The Arkansas Court of Appeals on Wednesday upheld the conviction of a fonner Southern Methodist University foot ball star charged with raping girls he met while working as a substitute teacher. Emanuel Q. Tolbert, 44, claimed evidence against him was insufficient and that he was barred from asking questions that might have shown that the victims were biased against him because they intended to sue him for civil damages. The Court of Appeals rejected all of his arguments. Tolbert was arrested in 2000 after three girls, ages 14, 15 and 17, told authorities he had taken them to his honje and had sex with them. Police said two of the girls attended Hall High School, where Tolbert was a substitute, and the third attended nearby Forest Heights Junior High. At a trial in 2001, Tolbert was convicted of rape and violation of a minor of a child in the first degree. He was sentenced to 15 years for rape and four years on the violation charge, with the sen tences to run concurrently. Tolbert played football at Little Rock Central High and then SMU, where he broke school records and was an All-America player in 1978. He spent 11 years in the Canadian Football League. The Court of Appeals relied heavily on two of the girls’ testimony — but also cited Tolbert’s own admission — in rejecting Tolbert’s claim that there was insufficient evidence. Charges pertaining to the third girl were severed from the case, but that girl also testified. Two other students who said Tolbert solicited them also appeared in court. The court said the testimony showed Tolbert’s intent, motive and plan to develop a sexual rela tionship with his students. Tolbert also said he wanted to ask lawyers’ rep resenting victims about whether they intended to file a civil lawsuit against him. The Appeals Court ruled the trial court was correct in finding the ques tion improper. The judges also said Tolbert was not allowed to go on a fishing expedition with questions about one of the girls’ allegedly having been in juvenile detention for dishonesty. In 2001, Tolbert pleaded guilty to another charge of violation of a minor. He was sentenced to 16 additional years, to be served concurrently. He was charged as a habitual offender because of his convictions from the previous case. Tolbert was on the All-Southwest Conference team in 1977 and 1978 and was an AP All- America player in 1978, Tolbert still holds many SMU athletic records, including marks for the most touchdown catches in a game, four; in a sea son, 11; and career, 25. Swimming Continued from page 7 men have to finish the season with a high team ranking. The Aggies’ No. 14 ranking will get thrown out the window as they prepare to head to Austin again. “It’s nice to get the recognition,” Nash said. “We have a very well-balanced dual-meet team but as far as coming into the NCAAs, it doesn’t matter at all. We are a little better dual meet team than we are championship team.” The men’s 400-yard freestyle relay team has an NCAA consideration time, as do sophomore Dan Blanchard and junior Scott Mueller in the 100 freestyle, sophomore Alfredo Jacobo, who set a school record at the Big 12 meet, and fresh man Alex Dawson in the 200-yard breaststroke. Despite the fact that few swimmers around the nation have been putting up record-setting times this season, Nash says qualifying NCAA times might improve because of the increasing number of talented swimmers in recent years. “We’ll find out a lot more this weekend,” Nash said. “No one is out there that has been shocking the world, but the depth is improving every year, and the fastest time may not improve, but the time to get into the Championship does.” This weekend’s meet will begin today and last until Sunday. The NCAA Championships will take place March 27-29. SPORTS IN BRIEF Football team participates in “Night of Champions” event The Texas A&M football team will host a weightlifting exhibition tonight at G. Rollie White Coliseum. A&M Head Coach Dennis Franchione developed the event, which will include a select group of Aggie football players competing for school records in events such as the bench press, incline press, squats and the power clean. The event is entirely free of charge and open to the public. “The Night of Champions is a fun event, and 1 hope we get an excellent turnout by our fans," Franchione said. In all, 16 A&M football players will lift in the event. Franchione said he has used the "Night of Champions" during his career to reward players for their hard work during strenuous offseason workouts. Franchione said he chose players based on their hard work in team workouts. “It is quite an honor to be selected for this event,” he said. “The players who have set records, or are near records, and those who have worked the hard est are chosen." The evening’s events are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Those unable to attend can watch live video coverage on AggieAthletics.com. ite needed for spacious fui i/2bth house, fenced yard, it, ping pong table, $425# fieds continued on pg. 1 s online om t Flexes idos 16-2976 Dts. ■2720 exes 979-846-3569 7409 i, i \ > ' 4 V* ' V PLAT I N U M “Never cease to amaze her.
