He said New Hampshire’s current pol- icy would be improved if the courts placed a cap on the mandated payments, so that no parent could be forced to pay more than half of the tuition for in-state students at the University of New Hampshire — currently $8,644. Wil Boc, the lawyer who represented Hovland’s ex-wife, contended that Hovland persistently misrepresented his financial situation as worse than it was while resisting child-support payments. However, Boc said judges handling similar cases should look carefully at individual circumstances and show some understanding for the noncustodial parents. “Judges need to listen more to how it makes a father feel when a kid says, ’Don’t ever call me, I don’t want to speak BOONDOCKS BY AARON MCGRUDER to you, here’s my bill for $20,000,”’ Boc said. “It drives peo- ple crazy.” Morgan, the Virginia-based family law expert, urged parents getting a divorce to work out details of college financing at the time of the breakup. That way a court is likely to intervene only to enforce the terms of the divorce agreement. “You can spell out all kinds of things — that the child has to help cover the tuition cost by getting a job, or has to graduate in four years and maintain a good grade aver- age,” Morgan said. “But that’s hard for some parents to do when the kid’s only a toddler, in the middle of all the emotional problems attendant on a divorce.” 10 THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS Tuesday, September 16, 2003

Matt Williams SPORTS EDITOR They’re called special teams for a reason
Special teams has the word special in front of it for a rea- son. If it wasn’t important, they would just call it the extra guys or the kicking game players. Saturday at Missouri, Eastern found out just how important it is to have flawless special teams. On its first drive of the game, Eastern could have taken a 3-0 lead (yes the Panthers could have been beating the powerful Tigers), but holder Andy Vincent had trouble with the snap preventing place kicker Steve Kuehn to even get a chance to get his foot on the ball. With Eastern down 7-0, and still very much in the the game, the Panthers set up for a routine punt after a three and out when Missouri freshman safety Shaun Hibbets snuck around his block- er to partially deflect Tom Schofield’s punt. The ball took a 13-yard trip down the field, staying put on Eastern’s 37-yard line and giv- ing Missouri the perfect oppor- tunity to put seven more points on the board and have a 14-point DAILY EASTERN NEWS PHOTO BY STEPHEN HAAS lead at halftime.
