University programs, those organiza- tions directly overseen by the Department of Student Activities, were responsible for programming and service to the entire University and local community. Professional organizations, many of Organizations them student chapters of leading national associations, gave members opportunities to supplement their classroom learning through lectures, work on projects, and interaction with prominent people in their field. Special interest groups for sports, mu- sic, religious fellowship, social activities, and residence hall life allowed many stu- dents outlets for personal fulfillment. Service organizations gave members a chance to help others while advocacy groups let members express their views. Honoraries existed to recognize out- standing merit and contributions in aca- demics, leadership, and professional prep- aration. Demosthenian members listen intently to the debate on the floor.

Wa a balanced program that fielded winning teams in ev- ery area of competition during 1981-1982, the University of Georgia is known and respected for its outstanding athletic teams. Georgia athletics is filled with many personalities including the athletes, coaches, and staff. There are athletes such as the Ail-Americans recognized on these pages. There are coaches such as Vince Dooley who, in 19 seasons as Head Geor- gia Football Coach, has produced a career record of 151-59-6, including bowl ap- pearances and one national championship, and been named SEC Coach of the Year seven times and NCAA Coach of the Year once; Head Men ' s Tennis Coach Dan Ma- gill, the winningest tennis coach in the nation, who, in 28 years, has captured 10 of the past 12 SEC Championships, fin- ished as high as third in the NCAA Na- tional Tournament (1981), produced nine All-Americans, and been named 1980 Collegiate Coach of the Year; Head Men ' s Golf Coach Dick Copas who, in 12 years, has led his team to five SEC crowns and earned invitations to eight NCAA Tour- naments, finishing as high as second, in 1978, for which he was voted NCAA Coach of the Year; and Head Women ' s Golf Coach Liz Murphey who has placed her team as high as second in the nationals in 1981 and has served in such positions as chairperson for the National Collegiate Golf Committee. Athletic facility expansion continued over the year. One year after the 22,000 Sports seat expansion of Sanford Stadium to an over 82,000 seat capacity, the athletic de- partment was involved in a fund-raising campaign for the Butts-Mehre Heritage Building, a new football office and exhibi- tion complex. Plans were also being made for the National Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame building as Georgia was approved as the site for this tribute. Some of the biggest news in sports came in women ' s athletics as the AIAW, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, was disbanded after pressure and an anti-trust suit by the NCAA, Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association. The AIAW for years had served as the national regulatory body for women ' s ath- letics until financial considerations and profit motives prompted the NCAA to as- sert its right in this area. In 1982, women ' s teams were eligible to participate in either or both associations ' competitions, but, be- ginning in 1983, all women ' s teams com- peted under the auspices of the NCAA. Several Bulldog athletes left the Univer- sity during 1982 for careers in professional spor ts. Among them, wonder-receiver Lindsey Scott was the number one draft choice of the New Orleans Saints. Basket- ball star Dominique Wilkins was selected by Utah but went to the Atlanta Hawks before his first professional season began. Buck Belue spent his first year out of school preparing for major league baseball on the Montreal Expos ' minor league team, and, after her first year out of school, All-American golfer and Broder- ick Award recipient Terri Moody entered the women ' s professional golf tour in 1 982. Bob Fuller was selected as an All-American Cheer- leader prior to the 1982 football season. Another Varsity Cheerleader. David Fuller, was also chosen for the prestigious squad.
