Coachman, the Hatters' top 3-point shooter, had to hurry his shot, and in his haste, tossed up an air ball that Georgia Southern had no trouble grabbing to secure the victory and the Trans America Athletic Conference Tournament crown before a crowd of about S00 fans in the Statehouse Convention Center. When the buzzer sounded, the Eagles (20-10) tod earned themselves a 49-46 victory over Stetson (18-13) and a spot in the Southeast Regional of the NCAA Tournament. National Invitational Tournament bids were extended late Sunday night, but Stetson was not included. Arkansas-Little Rock, which lost to the Eagles in the semi-final round of the tournament, will be playing in the NIT.

The student, Edwin Morrow of Middletown, Ohio, was arrested on charges of D.UXL. (Driving Under the Influence of a Controlled Substance) and leaving the scene of an accident. He was released on bail late Saturday and is awaiting a trial date expected to be later this month. According to Schroeter, eyewitnesses saw Morrow's late model Mercury ;turn onto Arizona from Amelia and strike one carl in Gordis Hall parking lot, glancedfover and struck another car, which in tarn collided with two other! vehicles. According to reports, Mofo-ow then backed up and struck the fifth parked car and left the scerie. Stetson security guard Hunter create the come-from-behind miracle it enjoyed the last time it played Georgia Southern, it did achieve something of a miracle in that Coachman even got his final- second shot off. The Eagles led 4946 at the time, and a 3-pointer would have been the only way for Stetson to tie the game. Georgia Southern had intentions of fouling any Hatter who received the ball in the 3-point zone, but Coachman managed to break free. Actually, it was fitting that the Eagles couldn't foul the Hatters even when they wanted to. Fouls played a major role in the outcome of the game — Stetson had too many of them, and the Eagles might have passed for choirboys. Stetson was never in a bonus situation as Georgia Southern finished the game with only eight fouls.

Anderson, who had scored a total of 36 points and puEed down 20 rebounds in the previous two tournament games, was forced to sit down part of the second haE Despite his absence, Wilkes played down Anderson's role. "I don't think his foul trouble -affected us very much,",Wilkes said. "He was not out that long, and he was not having a very good game. Their zone defense had him pretty weE bottled up." The Eagles' matchup-zone defense, in fact, gave Stetson fits most of the night.

"Functionally, we have less dollars from last year because of increased costs," said Agett, "and the amount of contribution from parents won't meet those costs." Many students may find themselves looking at other options for need based loans "to fill that void that exists," he added. Agett said that while parental contribution might increase some, the average financial aid package will have to include $7004800 more than last year. "We will have to look at loans more now than in the past," he added. Financial Aid changes are more significant this year than last. The Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) has been changed for "strict need based on income assets," said Agett. "This will make it harder for students to get the Guaranteed Student Loans." "There will be money," Agett added. Problems cited in most colleges are an increasing reliance on loans, which create debts over a long period of time. Media coverage over the past few years has' reported the worsening situation of financial aid programs, but Agett said the programs will not be deleted "especially if students write their Congressmen."
