Harger’s day usually begins at 6 a m.
and ends at about 1 or 2 a m . he said
“1 do OK. I think I'm a good father I’d
get married and divorced again just so I
could have Dene.” Harger said money is
the biggest problem he faces on a regular
basis.
“I’m broke now. I’m always broke,” he
said. "I have just enough money to get
tuition and the rent paid."
Hargersaid da ting has been a problem
because he is always up front with
women about his daughter. “They usu
ally don’t want to have anything to do
with me, and I don't blame them." he
said.
Senior Jana Gregory is also a single
parent. Gregory, 21, married her fresh
man year, had her son the summer
before hor sophomore year and was
divorced her junior year. She now shares
custody of her two-year-old son, Ryan,
and does her part to raise him while
attending school.
Gregory, who is majoring in business
communications, has been able to main
tain a 3.5 GPA since she had her son.
She has received several academic
scholarships and a Pell grant, which
help her finance her education and liv
ing expenses.
Gregory said many people stereotype
college students with chldren as being
destitute “They just don't think 1 look
like a mother," she said “1 just ask them,
'What does a mother look like7’ ”
Although parenthood has eliminated
some academic and social opportunities
she has few regrets "If 1 had it to do it
all over again, I’d wait to get married.
But I wouldn't trade Ryan for any
thing.”

The ruling stems from a successful •
suit filed in 1986 by a Georgia high j
school student who opposed pre-game
prayer. After a series of court rulings
declaring the prayer unconstitutional,
the U S Supreme Court declined to
review the case and let the decision go
into effect in January 1989. j
The U. of Georgia briefly defied the
court when UGA President Charles
Knapp allowed prayer to be broadcast
at the university's season-opening foot
ball game, asserting that the ruling only
applied to high schools
“We are going to go ahead with the
prayer," Knapp said before the game "It .
has become a tradition that is important I
to the fans.” J
Knapp quickly backed down after the „
Georgia state attorney general notified
him that the ACLU was preparing a law
suit, and the university would lose a
court battle over the issue.
Georgia was the only one of four affect
ed Southeastern Conference schools to
broadcast prayer at the time of the rul
ing The U. of Florida and Auburn U
discontinued the prayers tins year, and
Alabama has not broadcast a pre-game
prayer in the last three years. ■
