Basketball violati Newton must be Head basketball coach Steve Newton may face the toughest test of his coaching career today. After an extensive internal investigation into the USC basketball program, President John Palms will release llie results of the investigation to the public this morning. In the report, NCAA Compliance Officer David Didion will deter I1III1C wiieiiiv.1 in iivh uuei. ni(i|v>i rule violations occurred and what action, if any, should be taken by the NCAA against IJSC. Possible violations, which will be discussed in the report, include allowing recruit Cortez Barnes to live in The Roost dormitory even though he was not enrolled as a student at USC. Other violations could include providing him with athletic gear, allowing him to practice with the team and paying for correspondence courses he was taking tc qualify for admission to USC. Palms told The Gamecock Friday he is confident the NCAA will not impose any penalties othei than the self-imposed penalties I ^ ^ J Newtor USC is expected to recommend ii the report. He also said he currently has n< plans to replace Newton. If the charges are true, Palm should change his mind abou standing behind Newton. Newton should be fired if th< violations actually occurred. Then should be no argument or though of retaining him for program "con sistency."

The othe was to run a clean program. 1 I realize Newton seems to hi running a competitive SEC pro gram with a 2-2 record in the con ference, but we haven't seen team like Florida, Kentucky o Vanderbilt. ' Also, Newton took over a tear of experienced seniors this pas year, only to go 3-14 against SE( 1 opponents. However, Newton's winning pei ; centage is not an issue here. H was hired to run a clean program. So far, the program has alread taken self-imposed penalties fo illegally providing transportation t recruit Percy Eberhart this year. The Eberhart mistake is undei standable. A new program wit new coaches sometimes misse minute interpretations of NCAv regulations, but if Newton allowe Barnes to live in university hous ing, he has stepped past the limit c ignorance of regulations an jumped feet first into the cesspoc of illegal recruiting practices, i Reports have also surface recently of another possible viok 1 tion involving the transportation c a recruit. 1 If all of this is true, Newton hi violated the trust of this universit > and its fans, and he should be lire with no regrets. s Palms should not be so compl; 1 cent and comfortable in his belit that the NCAA will not punis USC's program severely. - 1 he NUAA likes to make Cxan 1 pics of dirly programs, and US " may have been caught with i proverbial pants down.

The Lady Gamecocks took control in the second half after Georgia Head Coach Andy Landers drew his first of two technical fouls. Joyner added the free throws for South Carolina after the technical. "I didn't feel any pressure on the free throws. I just concentrated and took my time," Joyner said. Landers, who was ejected with 47 seconds left, did not have much to say about the ejection. "I had been frustrated throughout the game. The kids played hard, the coaches coached hard: everybody except a couple of people did a good job. Because of conference rules, I cannot make any further comment," Landers said. This was the first South Carolina victory over Georgia since Feb. 9, 1978, in the Winthrop Invitational. After that, the Lady Bulldogs had won 10 straight. The series record now stands 11-2 in Georgia's favor. "We played a good game. It was very physical, but our player< exernted well " I JSC Head Coach Nancy Wilson said. "South Carolina whipped our rear inside. We didn't and couldn't get inside," Landers said. "South Carolina whipped us?that has nothing to do with any tiling else. I don't want to take anything away from South Carolina. They played well and did what they intended to do." mk iscoimt^B^ :s and labor Iraaf 17 won li wt juAAvn Brown, Owner g ;om Street M eo o/teo Choice Card 5Z-o40O Discover Card Miss!
