Twilight C fi feri liW i The Athens-Clarke County open container la v was sus- pended as thousands of stud tuts packed the downtown streets for the 14th annual Twilight Criterium. The repeal of the open container law led to absolute mayhem in downtown Athens. Small fires, broken glass, and lit- tered streets were all the result of University of (Jeorgia students ' newly found drinking freedom. Drawing some of the most tal- ented professional athletes in the world, this year ' s race was the first to see wheelchair racers and in-line skaters competing in ad- dition to the cyclists. The men ' s cycling race featured three of the world ' s fastest sprinters. One of which, Malcolm Elliot of the Chevrolet L.A. Sheriff Cycling team, was the first to cross the College Square flnish line. Elliot, a native of Great Britian, lapped the rest of the field en route to his first Twilight victory. As it turned out, the Twilight Criterium was only a warm-up for Elliot ' s vic- tory the following day at the First Union Grand Prix in Atlanta. Karen Bliss Livingston led most of the way during the women ' s race, eventually crossing the line ahead of the rest of the pack. The other weekend festivities included jazz performanceifif food festivals, and arts and crafts shows. Students and visitors alike enjoyed listening to manji area bands. Another popular feature of the festival was the sampling of various foods froiB) several local restaurants. -Kevin Raiin Background photo by Scott Goldstrohm ,- J J V V, .V
