University student Rachel Sonam Jain, 20, was arrested and charged for DUI-alcohol, underage possession of alcohol at an accident early Saturday morning, according to the University police report.

The officer stopped Jain’s vehicle in the Chi Phi parking lot after receiving a phone call reporting a black vehicle struck a parked vehicle in the parking lot and was proceeding to leave.

The officer reported smelling the odor associated with alcohol on Jain’s breath and asked again if she had been drinking.

When asked where she was coming from, Jain said she was at the SLC, which the officer said would be closed at that time.

The officer reported believing Jain to be a less safe driver, and she was placed under arrest.

As the officer explained the citations which Jain was asked to sign, she was told her signature was not an admission to guilt. Jain reportedly said, “Oh, I’m guilty.”

Jain was not available for comment.

Share your stories of infestation and read work orders of dorm rodent woes.

By AJ ARCHERThe Red & Black

The rat pack still runs rampant in University dorm halls.

The Red & Black published an article March 8 detailing the presence of rodents in Creswell Hall — but, according to records obtained via an open records request sub-mitted by The Red & Black, the pest prob-lem continues to plague students.

Since the publication date, 37 work orders have been placed for various types of pests.

While rodents are most common — con-stituting 26 of the work orders — the 11 other reports mention other pest problems: spiders, mosquitoes, lady bugs and “nests” of green flies and black bugs.

Six of the rodent reports do not mention the presence of a specific rodent, but instead cite “squeaking” and “scurrying” in the ceil-ings. The work orders also include cases in which the problem was treated, as when stu-dents later reported that ladybugs and roaches in both Creswell and Brumby bath-rooms soon disappeared following com-plaints in March and April.

In other cases, however, the problem per-sists despite repeated student complaints — and the pests have come out to play in some of the worst ways imaginable.

One work order reported a student “see-ing a rodent fall from the ceiling ... and scur-ry back to a set of cabinets.”

And Creswell isn’t the only residence hall with pest problems.

Many of the adult volun-teers at Camp Sunshine remember the first time they heard those dreaded words.

“Your child has cancer.”Suddenly, their lives —

and their children’s lives — have irrevocably changed. There’s no suffering compa-rable to watching a loved one struggle with a deadly dis-ease, and supporting and caring for their children becomes a full-time job for parents.

But the worst misfortune of a child with cancer may be the potential that’s lost. Many children at Camp Sunshine are in the late stag-es of the disease, and have spent their last summer there. Even for the children who will survive, they’ve largely lost the opportunity to simply be kids.

Camp Sunshine, however, changes all that, even if just for a week or two. At the camp, which uses the facili-ties at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, the only hint that these kids are different in any way comes when you enter the well-stocked infir-mary.

Chalkings of “YOLO” and “WOLO” marked Creswell Hall Monday afternoon, according to police reports.

The phrases, which mean “you only live once” and “we only live once,” were written in various colors of chalk near the side entrances by an unknown individual, according to the report.

The employee who filed the complaint stated that an unknown individual also wrote on the wooden tables of the East side entrance, according to the report.

In addition to “YOLO” and “WOLO,” the officer reported finding “New Earth Athens” near the West side entrance.

This marks the third appearance regard-ing New Earth, according to the employee.

University student Sahar Sabet just wanted to buy an iPad.

However, she encountered a problem: she’s Iranian-American.

Sabet, a rising sophomore, was reported-ly refused an iPad after an Apple employee heard her speaking in Farsi, a Persian lan-guage spoken primarily by those in Iran, Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern areas.

Overhearing the Farsi, Sabet said the employee at the counter refused to sell her the product, leaving Sabet confused.

“He was very rude to me,” she said. “There was no snatching, but I was holding onto [the iPad] as I was counting my money.”

A man pulled a pillar down from the front of the Chi Phi house Monday, accord-ing to a University police report.

The officer made contact with William Carmichael Miller, who said he used his per-sonal vehicle, a Honda Odyssey, and a chain to pull a pillar off.

Miller stated he wanted to replicate the original columns at the new Chi Phi house, and he needed to make a mold of the col-umn’s exterior, according to the report.

Due to the unauthorized demolition, he was barred from the property for 30 days, according to the report.

The crime that wasStudent arrested in parking deck for open container violation

Rachel Koller, 20, was arrested and charged with underage possession of alcohol and open container violation Saturday night after an Athens-Clarke County police offi cer saw a parked vehicle with the door open in a parking deck, according to the Athens-Clarke County police report.

The offi cer spotted Koller holding and drinking from a liquor bottle, and he went over and asked her to step out of the car. He reported smelling the odor of alcohol coming from her breath. Koller was placed under arrest.

Two arrests made on College Avenue for open container violation

Austin M. Bartsch, 19, and Lena Sansonetti, 18, were arrested and charged with underage possession of alcohol and open container early Saturday morning, according to the Athens-Clarke County police report.

Bartsch and Sansonetti both tried using their fake IDs with the police offi cer who intended to issue them citations for carrying what looked like mixed alcoholic drinks on College Avenue. Bartsch reportedly asked repeatedly if the offi cer could give Sansonetti a break and let him take the rap.

Student arrested after using improper lanes

Early Sunday morning, University student Chad Stevens, 21, was arrested and charged with DUI-alcohol and failure to maintain lane.

A University offi cer spotted a Toyota Tacoma driving in the wrong lane of a parking lot and then driving with both passenger tires in the bike lane on East Campus Road. Stevens reportedly said it was because he had been texting.

After standard fi eld sobriety evaluations, Stevens was placed under arrest and transported to Clarke County Jail.

Students "visibly shaken up" after sudden snatch robbery

Two University students were robbed by sudden snatch and battery last Friday in the Chi Phi parking lot, according to a University police report.

Both victims received minor injuries from the incident but declined treatment.

The total loss for the incident was $1246.

Student arrested for DUI, driving without headlights

University student James Vincent Gebhardt, 21, was arrested and charged with DUI-alcohol and drugs as well as a headlights violation on Saturday morn-ing, according to an Athens-Clarke County police report.

After being pulled over, Gebhardt told the offi cer he had taken prescribed Adderall the day before and had a beer a few hours earlier, at midnight, according to the report.

After fi eld sobriety tests, Gebhardt was placed under arrest and transported to Clarke County Jail.

University student arrested at The Hangover bar

University student Nathan Paul Cohan, 19, was arrested and charged for underage possession and possession of false identifi cation early Saturday after an Athens-Clarke County police offi cer reported to The Hangover bar in response to a call about a broken window.

The offi cer could not locate anyone who saw Cohan break the window, so Cohan was not charged for the offense.

Cohan was placed under arrest for underage possession of alcohol, but later charged with possession of false identifi cation.

The order protects undocumented immigrants if the person immigrated to the U.S. before the age of 16, has been

Optimism is up.Since University alumna Aimee

Copeland’s May 1 zip-lining accident, stu-dents have not felt wary of taking outdoor recreation trips.

The injury left Copeland infected with necrotizing fasciitis — a flesh-eating bacteri-al infection.

The bacteria are commonly found in warm climates, so the threat of future infec-tions still exists.

Stas Bushik, a sophomore biochemistry major from Alpharetta, has been on two trips with the Georgia Outdoor Recreation Program, and he said he wouldn’t hesitate to go on another trip in the future — even with the threat of a bacterial infection.

“Just because that’s a really specific inci-dent,” he said.

Bushik also said he feels safer on GORP trips because they are led by local profes-sionals, rather than GORP trip leaders, who are more familiar with possible risks in the area.

Those close to Copeland are optimistic as well. Though she has been hospital-bound for nearly 50 days, she has finally been well enough to venture outside the confines of the building.

She got up to leave her room for the first time in two months, according to a special on the TODAY show.

“She just enjoyed the sunshine on her face and the breezes blowing through her hair and the smell of pine trees was really close by,” her father, Andy Copeland, told TODAY. “And she just sat there and just took it all in.”

Her condition, which has been upgraded from “serious” to “good,” has improved to the point that she is planning to move from Doctors Hospital in Augusta to an inpatient rehabilitation center, according to the Associated Press.

Are photo-sharing applica-tions like Instagram creative, or a slap in the face to real photog-raphers?

Instagram is a “fast, beautiful and fun way to share your pho-tos with friends and family,” according to the company.

It has become a popular photo sharing application that instantly allows the user to edit an everyday photo with different filters and then upload the pic-ture to social media websites.

And people have noticed — Instagram has won awards such as Apple Inc.’s “App of the Year” in 2011, and has over 30 million users as of April 2012, according to Instagram’s blog.

However, there are many peo-ple in the photography and pho-tojournalism industry who have

their qualms about these photo-sharing applications and the edited photos they create.

“From the ethical perspec-tive, there is a false sense of nos-talgia in the photos. It degrades all images and creates false emotions,” said Mark Johnson, a photo journalism professor. “It’s a neat way to share experi-ences, but seems fake.”

In his opinion, the applica-tions have no place in photo-journalism — even in a class-room setting.

“Photojournalism is an accu-rate and fair representation of events. For photojournalism, these applications are off lim-its,” Johnson said. “I tell my students to carry a camera everywhere and shoot every-thing, but not everything gets published. Pictures should have meaning and be interesting.”

According to Johnson, emo-tion in pictures comes from the old and worn photos you find at your grandparents house that have been looked at countless times over the years. They have that significance because they were important.

“Photos along with stories are powerful. By just seeing the

picture you lose the storytell-ing,” said Johnson

Michael Covington, associate director for the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and an amateur photographer since 1969, is in agreement with Johnson.

“We may be looking at a fad right now that’s driven by peo-ple’s feeling that they’re too dis-connected from an era 40 years ago,” said Covington.

Dr. Covington emphasized that photographers in the 1970s spent a lot of time trying to get accurate color and pictures that didn’t have noticeable grain. These applications are doing the exact opposite of this by editing and using filters on pic-tures to make them look worse according to photography stan-dards.

“They’re nostalgic for the wrong thing and I don’t under-stand the mindset behind it,” said Covington. “I think some people just want a sense of con-tinuity of what grandpa was doing.”

There is some debate about whether photo-sharing applica-tions such as Instagram are leading to more creativity with

our generation, or if the editing degrades the value and meaning of a good picture.

“It’s creative if you do it cre-atively. It’s not creative if you do it mindlessly. If you judge it to be a good picture and share it for that reason, that’s good. If you just filter everything because you just have it stuck in your way of doing things, that’s not so good,” said Covington.

There is also a concern about photo sharing applications causing people to over share on social media by posting about everything they do throughout the day.

“I love to see what my friends are doing, but sometimes I think I am seeing too much. Oversharing has become a prob-lem in our lives and is ruining meaningful conversations with our friends and family,” Johnson said. “We already know what they have been doing because we saw it on social media."

Following the scandal caused by his ar-rest for prostitution and keeping a place of prostitution that attracted national media attention, University professor Max Rein-hart announced his resignation.

On June 22, Reinhart submitted a letter of resignation effective almost one year after

his arrest, as of May 10, 2013. “I’m terribly sorry still not

to be free to speak about this situation, as much as I wish I could,” Reinhart told The Red & Black.

“I can only say how much I’m going to miss the class-room and mentoring stu-dents, which was the center of my universe.”

In documents obtained by The Red & Black, Reinhart

reached an agreement with the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences in which he would resign from his position as A.G. Steer Professor of Goethe Studies and Profes-sor of Germanic and Slavic Studies and also commit his “full effort” in continuing research projects and adhering to University policies and procedures.

Franklin College agreed to “take no ac-tion to revoke Dr. Reinhart’s tenure or to otherwise terminate his employment prior to his May 10, 2013 retirement date.”

People like Facebook because it makes them feel good about themselves — or so a new study from University professor Keith Campbell suggests.

Campbell’s research was published in the June edition of Computers in Human Behavior, a sociological research journal.

“Social networking sites are a product and a cause of a society that is self-absorbed,” Campbell told the journal. “Narcissism and self-esteem began to rise in the 1980s. Because Facebook came on the scene only seven years ago, it wasn’t the original cause of the increases. It may be just another enforcer.”

Campbell worked with doctoral student Brittany Gentile and San Diego State University professor Jean Twenge in analyz-ing college students’ behavior in the main-tenance and creation of their Facebook pro-files, according to UGA News Service.

“Editing yourself and constructing your-self on these social networking sites, even for a short period of time, seems to have an effect on how you see yourself,” Campbell told Computers in Human Behavior.

In a Red & Black article published March 30, 2012, Campbell said his research demon-strated an increase in narcissism among col-lege-aged users — one not necessarily pro-pelled forward solely by social media such as Facebook.

“This isn’t just driven by social media,” Campbell said. “What we believe is that social media played a role in this, as what you’re doing with these sites is promoting yourself and thinking about yourself.”

— Julia Carpenter

Students not deterred by Copeland accident

Terry College of Business MBA graduates may experience a 174 percent increase in pay when entering the workforce, according to an article published in Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

The article stated that over the course of 20 years, graduates at the University saw an increase in pay upwards of $139,000.

Sharon Caldwell, director of the Career Management Center, said the 11-month program hindered students’ ability to take intern-ships, which forced the decision to create a two-year program.

One key component is bringing the students to the companies.

“There are really two compo-nents: working with employers who build strong partnerships to edu-cate them about our students to bring them together with our stu-dents in a variety of different ways,” she said. “A new element of

company-student connection and has really ramped up in past year. Two classes involve consulting project classes.”

Generally company recruiters come to campus to hire students, but when the economy took a turn most lightened up, Caldwell said. The new approach allows students to gain one-on-one experience.

The second component to the center is preparing the student to approach the job search, which is an emphasis in the application pro-cess to the MBA program.

Robert Sumichrast, dean of the college, said last school year, 95 percent of students received jobs upon completion of the program.

There’s a kind of self-affirmation achieved from cycling. When you dismount your bike after the first ride and look up to see fellow cyclists staring back at you with enthusiasm and empathy, you will feel a pang in your chest ... You will smile, because you know that you are part of a less-than-secret society: those few crazy enough to trade in the comfort of the car for the adventure of the bicycle.

We bikers may attack each steep path with legs pumping and eyes focused in con-centration, but when a car approaches, all they can see is an object traveling less than half their speed obstructing their path. In order to commit to the act of cycling, you have to accept our place on the road. In a way, you are forced to make peace with the world around you. And once you do, you have achieved the zen of the bicycle.

our take

opinion Meter: The ups and downs in the week that was

OpinionsVisiting vermin

Rats are disgusting. Cockroaches, too.There’s no other way to

describe these things. So why do these creatures have

continued to cause such a problem on our beloved campus? Dorms have been dealing with the rats and roaches since March — and maybe even before then.

Not enough has been done.There have been 43 pest

reports. Yet of those only three have been marked as completed.

Then let’s talk about the stu-dents living in these dorms.

Incoming freshmen are getting their first looks at the University. And if potential students see rats while visiting our facilities, that’s not good.

That potential Bulldog becomes a potential Georgia State Panther — or even worse a potential Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket or Florida Gator.

The last thing the University needs is for the general population to think our school is disgusting.

But we have seen the problems linger into the summer semester.

Documents obtained by The Red & Black include mention of parent tours.

If there are roaches in living quarters, parents and students alike are going to be concerned.

Traps should be set, pest con-trol should be called and steps would be taken to ensure that would not happen again.

Perhaps the University should hold itself to that standard. After all, a first-world standard of living is all we can really ask for..

rats in the cellar: ew ew ew ew ew. Rats have posed a problem since this winter — and it has yet to be solved. Work orders from residents include mention of rats falling from ceilings, rats “scurrying” and “squeaking” — and even of a “dead rat odor” comin g from a dorm stairwell. How could we possibly give this a thumbs-up?

ncaa needs new deal: Yes, the nCAA needs rules, but at what cost? Simply put, the over 400-page tome needs to go. no one truly knows what a violation is anymore and when the nebraska program is penalized for buying their athletes supplemental books for classes — like they did in July 2011 — there's an obvious problem.

no artful dodging here : When someone accused the Georgia Museum of Art and its latest exhibit of fraud and forgery, the GMOA staff didn't balk at the accusations or point fingers in blame. Instead, they turned the finger wagging into a conversation about authenticity and the importance of originality in museum curation. Bravo!

what do you think?

Hannah HarrisonColumnist

When faced with a question — “What you want to do

when you grow up?” — sometimes you have to admit a scary answer: “I don’t know.”

I have always felt this question had implications. There are a finite amount of choices available to an indi-vidual in one lifetime.

Let’s rephrase the ques-tion to ask the same thing differently: “What is your career goal?” or “What are you majoring in?”

This last question is per-tinent to the college experi-ence, and it also has impli-cations of a finite experi-ence: having only one, or perhaps two, majors.

But the list of majors is so long — how do you pick just one? The one you pick will have vast influence on your future.

So no pressure right?Some people grow up

knowing exactly what they want to do and they go for it. Others are not quite sure. In some cases this uncertainty goes ignored until you’re standing there with a degree in your hand and you’re still no closer to answering that nagging question.

When I was 18, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of options out there for colleges and degrees. So much that I was happy when I at least had an answer to everyone’s ques-tion “Where are you going to school?”

Going to college is a lot like being pregnant; you get

advice on how you should do it from everyone. Add telling people you don’t know what your major will be into that equation and its like the doctor has told you that your child is going to be born with a handicap.

Some advice is good, and then some is given because someone feels they can give it.

I was told to join ROTC, attend such-and-such col-lege because someone went there, major in engineering because they need women, etc. The trick to taking this well-meant advice is to know yourself well enough to select which advice to take and which to leave.

There is a lot of fear — especially for incoming freshman — in admitting that you don’t know what you want to do. If this describes your situation, put your fears aside. Whatever you do, don’t pick a major simply to have some umbrella to stand under when the storms of uncertainty come.

It doesn’t take much to turn that umbrella inside out. Struggling to get by some of the weed-out core classes quickly tells stu-dents whether or not they have chosen the correct thing, especially if they only chose it because of the dol-

lar signs they saw at the end of the road.

Being undeclared is stressful, but it pays off in the long run if you approach it with an open mind.

I was undeclared for my first year of college. Many subjects interested me. My advisor looked at me like I had two heads when she read my list of possible majors: biology, English, art history, fashion merchandis-ing and journalism.

“What do these have in common?” she asked. I answered simply, “Me.”

It's okay to be unsure of what you want to do. It doesn't mean you’re lazy or don’t care. Perhaps you're good at many things and have a hard time choosing just one. Or maybe you haven't experienced what you’re passionate about.

Take classes that inter-est you during your first year. Join clubs you find interesting, or maybe even some that you don’t find interesting and see what happens.

Keep your mind open, listen to your gut and it will guide you to the place that will give you the greatest satisfaction.

Rutherford column glosses over truth

Having been in Rutherford sev-eral times and met people who have lived there, I can say that Ruther-ford's eulogy in this newspaper was an entirely misguided piece. It's one thing to preserve a historic building; it's another to make students live there. Rutherford not only housed students, but asbestos and mold. The heaters in the room resembled and sounded like radiators. It had the slowest internet on campus.

Rutherford's demolition was long over due. It will be replaced with an energy efficient dormitory that will allow more students to attend UGA. With added money allowing more workers to be employed by UGA. Lamenting its long overdue demise is the epitome of short sightedness and simplemindedness.

It was truly a beautiful spectacle of silli-ness. There was something awe-inspiring about a human being throwing caution to the wind, finding the utter nonsense within himself and baring it to everyone on nation-al television. He wasn’t afraid of anything. He was being completely ridiculous, break-ing down everyone’s expectations and tak-ing things in a wildly strange direction.

He was being himself. In that moment, he was my hero.

Our society is unkind to those who are different. From an early age, we learn to put down those who don't follow the norms. Accordingly, we learn not to be like them, to make sure our behavior stays within the sti-fling boundaries of what is acceptable. We choose our words, habits, careers, and friends based on what is expected.

Being yourself trumps conformity

HB 87, Georgia’s Illegal Immigration Re-form and Enforcement Act establishes a set of bureaucratic procedures as labyrinthine as the plot of a suspenseful thriller. HB 87 exists for the purpose of weeding undocu-mented workers out of the labor force, os-tensibly in order to clear out those positions for “native” workers — that is, U.S. citizens.

The Carl Vinson Institute has been a University institution since 1927. It exists in order to improve public policy through research on the economy, the environment and demographic trends.

It strikes me as ironic that a think tank dedicated to a measured, facts-driven ap-proach to policy would be corralled into the implementation of HB 87. The beliefs that underlie HB 87 regarding economics and fis-cal conservatism are shaky at best... HB 87 is rooted in emotion, not facts.

BY JULIA CARPENTERThe Red & Black

An art blogger and Florida-based artist has accused the Georgia Museum of Art of promoting “forgery” and “fraud” in the museum’s upcoming exhibi-tion on Francisco de Goya’s “Disasters of War.”

Gary Arseneau emailed museum director William Eiland June 24 to argue the authenticity of the Spanish artists’ etchings, slated to be on display to the public starting Aug. 18.

“[The exhibit] consists of eighty non-disclosed posthu-mous [1906] -forgeries-, impressed from posthu-mously [1863 or later] reworked and altered plates, that are being falsely attrib-uted as etchings ie., original works of visual art to a dead Francisco de Goya y Lucientes,” Arseneau wrote in the email, which he also sent to The Red & Black.

Museum officials, howev-er, said they are not taking Arseneau’s claims seriously.

“I’m not sure we feel the need to respond,” said Hillary Brown, director of communications for the GMOA. “We let what we do stand for itself.”

Arseneau’s blog includes samples of his work as well as pages dedicatd to litho-graph and etching authen-ticity. In his email to Eiland, Arseneau said he believed the museum was incorrectly billing the Goya prints — dated 1906 — as Goya “life-time editions,” even though the Spanish painter, famous for his politically charged landscapes, had died in 1828.

“I won’t be able to speak to Mr. Arseneau’s motiva-tions or reasons as I do not know him beyond his web site and blog,” Paul Monoguerra, chief curator at the GMOA, told The Red & Black. “Based upon both, he seems to be operating on a vast misunderstanding of terminology and the art world, and makes state-ments that might well be

libelous.”Lynn Boland, curator of

European art at the muse-um, said the museum uses two approaches “in tandem” when verifying artwork authenticity. The first, con-noisseurship, involves close examination of the object with knowledge of period and artist style. The second, provenance research, details the history of ownership of the object — in this case, the Goya pieces were previously

owned by a couple named Anderson until the museum obtained them in 1986.

“We look for any kind of red flags, but there is no question whatsoever that these are the 1906 originals,” Boland said.

Boland said he believes Arseneau’s accusations may stem from confusion about printmaking terminology and history.

The pieces in the Goya exhibit are 1906 edition

prints made after Goya’s death — but from the origi-nal etchings he had made in his lifetime, when the politi-cal climate would not have allowed him to have them formally made at a print-maker. Boland said the exhibit will detail the print-making process, walking museum visitors through the steps from original crafting to final form.

“We don’t like to deal in absolutes because ideas about printmaking change over time,” Boland said. “We treat each object as a unique object with a unique history. We welcome any discussion if looked at in this open-mind-ed way.”

So while Arseneau has accused the museum of attempting to obscure this information, Boland said the exhibit hopes to celebrate it.

“The idea we wouldn’t want people to know that ... I wouldn’t understand our motives behind that,” he said.

Female university presidents are few and far between. The University of Alabama just had its first female

president this past spring, while places such as the uni-versities of Kentucky and South Carolina have never had a female president.

And with President Michael Adams heading into his final year, the University could break the mold.

But the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. “The number of women who are in positions where

they are prepared to take on presidency is still relatively lower than the number of men,” said Lucy Apthorp Leske, vice president and education practice co-Leader at Witt Kieffer, a search agency universities often use when looking for a prime candidate for top positions.

Leske said one reason there are fewer women universi-ty presidents is because the job is demanding.

“The perceived demands of the position — case in point: very high profile presidencies lately at Penn State and the University of Virginia — the scrutiny and the amount of attention focused on the individual and lack of privacy ... the job is demanding.”

Charles Zewe, vice president for communications and external affairs at the Louisiana State University System, said there hadn’t been a female chancellor at any of their colleges, but the closest they had come was getting an interim female chancellor at the Health Science Center.

While the number of female presidents have increased at public institutions — 26 percent in 2011, which is up from 23 percent in 2006, according to a study done by the American Council on Education — Leske said there are still fewer women applicants than men.

Leske, whose job also involves actively seeking minori-ties — which includes women — to apply, said it is also difficult to get people to work up the resolve to apply for a job.

Regardless, Leske said you can’t categorize male and female presidents with regards to just gender.

“I would be a fool to say that woman presidents are like this and man presidents are like that,” she said. “You can’t divide it up that way. Women are still, no matter what job they in, faced with challenges that face their lives in ways that many men are not.”

A new abortion bill could put women under a time constraint.

Representative Doug Mckillip, R-Athens, proposed a bill that requires women to get abortions within 20 weeks of their pregnancy, as opposed to the original 26 weeks.

Efforts to reach a representative from the Mckillip campaign were unsuccessful, but members of the College Republicans weighed in on the issue.

“This new fetal pain law is a positive step because it’s a good compromise between both viewpoints on the abortion issue,” said Colin Daniels, a member of the UGA College Republicans. “I think it goes just far enough in allowing abortion, while at the same time limiting the loopholes of our previous abortion law and contains clearer language.”

Daniels, a sophomore from Blue Ridge majoring in political science, said he likes that the law takes into con-sideration when a fetus can feel pain, adding it’s also fair on the part of women.

“Although the bill has been decried because it does limit abortions for rape and incest victims to until 20 weeks, I feel that 20 weeks is a lengthy enough time peri-od for these women to realize that they are indeed preg-nant and decide that they don’t want to carry the baby.”

Regardless of his feelings on the bill, however, he said there should be more room for women when “crafting leg-islation relating to them.”

The phrase “binge drinking” may-bring to mind images of college stu-dents parading around downtown or throwing keg parties.

New findings from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, how-ever, indicate this conception of binge drinking is not accurate.

The CDC reports that adults over the age of 26 account for almost three-fourths of binge drinking episodes.

In the U.S. there are over 30 million adults who binge drink on average four times per month.

Binge drinking does differ as people grow older, however.

Young people drink as a way to fit in with social groups, according to Austin Gandy, a former researcher from the University’s National Treatment Center Study.

“In my experience, working with adolescents — in an experiential thera-py capacity — adolescents are often seeking a transformative experience that aligns them with a group culture or clique,” he said.

Binge drinking among adults may be a more serious problem, however.

“Adults, on the other hand, having already established their societal groups, will engage in activities such as binge drinking or other varieties of sub-

stance abuse as a means of self-medi-cation for what is described as a co-occurring personality disorder,” Gandy said.

Binge drinking is defined, for men, by having more than four alcoholic drinks in one sitting, or alternatively, by consuming more than 14 drinks in a single week.

For women, the thresholds are lower — over three drinks in one sitting or over seven drinks in a week.

But with its prevalence, Gandy said people tend to overlook the fact that binge drinking is a serious problem, as “the clinical definition of binge drinking is very low compared to society’s per-ception of what binge drinking is.”

“Society’s perception of binge drink-ing is viewed in a minimizing or dis-tancing light, that would tend to rele-gate binge substance abuse behavior into the realm of normalized party or social behavior, when in fact it may rep-resent a severely self-destructive pat-tern of behavior,” he said.

Jim Donnan, former football coach for the Bulldogs, agreed Sunday to pay $7.35 million to the company and investors he allegedly swindled in a Ponzi scheme brought to light last January, the Associated Press reported.

GLC Limited, a West Virginia-based retail liqui-dation company, and its investors accused Donnan in January of owing them $40 million, according to federal court documents.

According to the Associated Press, the agreement is not yet final.

Donnan allegedly recruited unsuspecting

investors, charging inflated commission. Donnan has since insisted he was not

in any way involved — and he has yet to be charged with any criminal wrongdo-ing, according to the AP.

Brumby Hall, since March 8, has received five work orders regarding pests. Each report specifically mentions roaches.

Some consider the problem as much an aesthetic dilemma as a health-related one.

The roaches, according to a June 19 report, are “very gross and distressing on parent tours.”

The problem becomes especially distressing for incoming freshmen housed in residence halls during the months of orientation sessions leading up to the first day of classes. Incoming freshman June Kim said she felt as if she was “lied to” by the University.

“I heard about [the pest problems] and asked specifi-cally about Mell Hall, but they told us that every dorm was cleaned of anything icky,” said June Kim, an intend-ed international business major from Lawrenceville. “They told us they were just rumors.”

Students are confounded by the presence of pests, as measures to control the situation seem neither proactive nor reactive.

“This is the second work order that has been placed for this problem and it still continues,” a Brumby report read.

The pest problem isn’t just limited to bathrooms and dorm rooms — work orders also report sightings in study rooms, staff kitchens, mailrooms, conference rooms, TV lounges and outdoor breezeways at both freshman resi-dence halls.

Of the 43 total pest reports, only three are marked on the documents as “completed” — Creswell reports of ladybugs in the 9B stairwell and a “dead” smell in a uni-sex bathroom, and a Brumby report of roaches in the shower stalls of a seventh floor bathroom.

When students cannot see the pests, they also report-ed being bothered by sounds of movement in the walls and ceilings as well as by distinctly animal “odors” and “stenches” in the residence halls.

Another work order placed for a “dead rat odor” in the Creswell basement bears a note that custodians “can’t find” the source of the smell, while five other reports were for mice that had been captured and were ready for disposal — but students were dismayed at the sight of the dead rodents still in the dorms in traps and bins.

Neither University Housing nor the Health Center could be reached for comment prior to press time.

Finally, prayers have been answered — and a bagel eatery has reappeared in Athens.

David Asman, co-owner and managing partner of the Athens Bagel Company, along with Damon Krebs, opened the new restaurant mid-April.

“We were really bummed when Zim’s closed down," Asman said. "That was the bagel bakery in Beechwood Shopping Center. After waiting years and years thinking that someone else would give it a go, we decid-ed to do it ourselves.”

One element vital to

Krebs and Asman's vision was the creation of the bagels.

“Our bagel is true to a New York style bagel," Asman said. "A New York style bagel is kettle boiled before being baked. Its the boiling that gives the bagels a thick crust and shiny tex-ture.”

In the ABC’s kitchen, a spiral mixer, its oven and a 40-gallon kettle represent necessary tools of bagel craftsmanship.

“A lot of other bakeries don’t do bagels because of the specialized equipment.”

About 160 pounds of dough produce 500 bagels over a day’s time, allowing them to rise.

Then they are boiled and baked, taking about 30 min-utes.

But bagels are not the only products the ABC makes — it also makes its cream cheeses.

“The cream cheeses have been fun for us because we

have ingredients in house that we use to experiment with," Asman said. "They're all made fresh in-house, pre-pared daily.”

Sweet and savory bagels and cream cheeses are avail-able for customers.

“Sometimes, they com-plement each other very well," Asman said. "It gives people a lot of variety. We also put our cream cheeses with our lunch sandwiches.”

Instead of horseradish sauce, a horseradish cream cheese accompanies the beef on their beef sandwich bagel.

The most addicting qual-ity of the bagels related to their quality and taste.

“We don’t serve yester-day’s bagels today.”

B-53sLocal cover band The B-53s, winners of this year’s Flagpole

Athens Music Awards, were a-buzz in several conversations. Fans of The B-52s as well as The B-53s packed in as close to

the stage as possible, reaching out to the jamming band mem-bers.

Several favorites appeared in its show, such as "Lava," "Moon in the Sky" and "52 Girls."

All of the band members channel the original musicians of The B-52s almost exactly, not only in voice, but also in action and dress.

Before performing “Strobe Light,” one of the male band members dropped a hint.

“Hey, do you know about those lights that are said to give people seizures?”

The B-53s closed an electrified show with “Rock Lobster.” Twice, the members started sinking to the ground, decre-

scendoing in voice and instrumentals only to raise the show to rocking heights.

As the band slowly sank to the fl oor, so did the audience members, who energetically jumped up and down to every track, as if they may have been listening to the original B-52s themselves.

Most of the exhausted fans stayed for the entirety of its midnight show and left once it ended.

WoodgrainsIt’s hard to establish an act in a 30-minute set.The Woodgrains know this.There’s the decision making of which songs the band

should play, which equipment should be used.Does the band cut some parts of a longer song out?Is there enough time for a cover song?The musicians are out there to showcase their talents.

Thousands are in attendance for this festival, including some names from record labels.

Some even host their own showcases during the festivities — New West, BMI and Team Clermont just to name a few.

What is a band going to do to make fans and critics alike remember it?

The Woodgrains surely had to face these decisions for its opening slot Sunday on the Hull Street stage, but it quickly became obvious the right choices were made.

Perhaps more impressive was the Waycross band’s demean-or. There was no pressure for the up-and-comers.

Almost as if to say, “AthFest? Just another show.”In reality though, that is all AthFest is — it is just another

show.Then again, isn’t that what one is supposed to expect from

South Georgian musicians?

Yacht Rock RevueTurns out time traveling isn’t that impossible

after all. A blast from the past, Yacht Rock Revue gave an

upbeat, soft-rock finish to AthFest 2012. In spite of stagnant, hot air, the music placed its

audience in a breezier place through its tunes and trademark easy atmosphere.

Covers of Billy Joel’s “My Life,” Toto’s “Africa” and Jackson Browne’s “Somebody’s Baby,” the young and old were singing along, dancing in the streets.

Although the majority of the band's tunes are cov-ers from the 70s, several audience members bought into the band's charm and goofiness.

Borrowing inspiration from the band's fashion sense, several fans doned white hats.

The members opened with an easy-listening song and eased and tightened the energy throughout the show, mixing and varying their pace.

Encouraging listeners to “stay smooth,” the band closed with “Taking it to the Streets,” celebrating an entire weekend of music played in venues as well as the streets of Athens.

Modern SkirtsPlaying at the end of the night, for a crowd of undoubt-

edly extraordinarily sweaty and tired people, Modern Skirts put on a great show.

Despite the long night, the heat and the relentless Georgia humidity, over 200 fans fi led into the 40 Watt at 1 a.m. for the Athens alternative rock band.

In the early years of the band's formation, Modern Skirts fi rst found an audience at the 40 Watt.

Back at the club this many years later, the band brought all of the musical energy it could muster for this year’s Athfest.

Modern Skirts' music has a nice beat and a multitude of interesting sounds that successfully blend together, creat-ing harmonies that listeners can’t help but move to.

Its members played a long set that went well past last call, playing both newer and older songs.

They even got a surprise visit from two brass wind instrument players, who used to record with Modern Skirts.

The musicians added in an extra song with the brass wind guys, and everybody, both band and audience, got a kick out of it.

Their insanely loud, harmonious music contained a potent dose of fun, ensuring its audience had a great deal of merriment, making it an awesome way to end a long, sweaty day of Athfest.

Showtime/Low DiveA young, energetic audience danced on the hot asphalt

to Lowdive and Showtime, performing about an hour of danceable hip-hop and entertaining rap lyrics.

Nine band members sang and played a loud set that drew people out from underneath the shade and out of chairs to listen, watch and jive.

Although the majority of the two bands' tunes fi t hip-hop or rap, they also played reggae, breezily singing a Bob Marley cover and inviting a guest band to perform "Learn to Love."

James Padgett, or JZP, joined Showtime and LowDive to sing "Cardboard Friends," a nerve-striking, catchy song about fake friends and bullying.

Collaboration and energy made this show a hit, particu-larly during one of the hottest points in the afternoon.

"Elite Tha Showstoppa" rarely remained still, pacing the stage or rolling his hips and exciting an eager audience to do the same.

Before "Learn to Love," which concluded their perfor-mance, Lowdive and Showtime sang a sexy tune, praising voluptuous women that several audience members already knew, raising the performance's temperature yet another degree higher.

The Corduroy RoadFeet tapped, heads bobbed and the front row became a

dance line as the band played a set that stayed true to its newest album, “Two Step Silhouette.”

“I can't help it, you know? I just feel it,” Williams said.Young college students sporting basketball jerseys stood

alongside adult women in prairie skirts, with few people resisting the folk melodies playing off the oldies-inspired harmonies.

People began dancing, and those who were watching began to dance as well — it seemed as if the Southern-gospel infl uence rejuvenated the crowd.

"I needed this, really," Williams said. "The weeks always seem so long, but there's always things like this to look for-ward to."

Members would switch instruments at times, slightly varying the style of music, or play two at once — the lead singer frequently played harmonica during instrumental breaks while his guitar interacted with the other instru-ments.

Overall The Corduroy Road was engaging, crafting a net of notes that caught passers-by.

And once they were trapped, the movement just kept them wound tighter.

Bars miss students during summertime. But SandBar has no trouble attracting thirsty customers to make up for the loss.

Nick Dawson, bartender at SandBar, said the College Avenue staple is “doing really good business.”

So far, Dawson said cheaper drinks have benefited the business.

“Decreases in prices haven’t had an effect on us due to the sheer number of people that come in,” Dawson said.

SandBar’s summer drink specials include $1 Budweiser, $2 Natty Pitchers and $2 frozen drinks Mondays through Wednesdays.

“We always hear about people doing cheap pitcher deals, so we do that,” Dawson said. “It works out because you keep people in the bar and cheaper drinks make people come in.”

Brittany Altman, a senior majoring in mass media arts from Telluride, Colo., worked as a bartender at Barcode and The Grotto

“There has been more drink specials available at lower prices each week due to the lack of people coming through the bars during the summer,” Altman said.

To increase student traffic in the warm-weather months, bars promote certain brands.

“Another thing we play off is the $1 Budweiser,” Dawson said. “This summer, Budweiser started doing a patriotic theme like the American flag or red, white and blue, so people buy a Budweiser to be patriotic. That helps our sales, too.”

Sales last due to loyal customers. “There’s a great crowd at SandBar,”

said Corbin Reynolds, a senior from Duluth majoring in computer science and regular customer. “We go to school during the day and we get a lot of work done, so we come out at night and have a great time. I wake up knowing I did it right going to SandBar.”

However, other bars such as Magnolia's do not lower the cost of drinks during the summer.

“The one thing that we’ve done here is maintained a consistency factor,” said David Hanson, manager of Magnolias.

All of Magnolias' drink specials remain the same for the entire year.

“We did have a dollar special back in the spring, but we got rid of it because the product margin was so low and nobody was tipping,” Hanson said.

Magnolias offers discounts during Power Hour, weekdays from 9 to 11 p.m.

“If you’re getting drinks a fifth of the cost, it's annoying when people can’t give you at least a dollar,” Hanson said. “People who chase down the dollar specials will go to other bars and they are out to get drunk for cheap. I feel like this is a very nice and clean establishment and because of that it is a destination that people come to for its environment. That let's us charge what we do for the drinks.”

Crowds flock to summer drink salesAfter many students leave town, some bars drastically lower prices on drinks to keep drawing in customers. But some other bars keep their prices the same to stay consistent and to discourage unappreciative patrons. FILE/Staff

In scientific and medical illustration, the balance between science and art is not mutually exclusive. Gene Wright, the sole professor of this art at the University, said he believes the two have never been so entwined.

“It’s 50/50,” Wright said. “You can’t have a medical or scientific illustrator without equal parts of both … the argument is science is the most important part, you’ve got to be accurate and teach the correct infor-mation. But how do you teach that information with-out the art?”

This art he teaches, then enshrined in science text-books and medical journals, is meant for its beauty — and its educational value.

“They’re also done often to catch the eye of the viewer to investigate further into a journal,” he said. “You could say it’s a little eye candy … but generally we don’t do something unless someone is going to learn something from it.”

Intrigue has surrounded the AthHalf ever since its inaugural run in 2010.

But now in its third year, interest is likely to spike even more than in the past, since the 13.1-mile trek will be taking its fi nish to new places — including the inside of Sanford Stadium to be exact.

“We’re fi nishing the race on campus, and the last leg of it is when people get to run around the hedges and the fi nish line is going to be right there in the Tate Center Parking lot. They’ll come in, run around the hedges, and exit and there will be the fi nish line,” said Jared Bailey, the founder and director of the event. “It’s a less hilly course, which will make it a much faster race. People complained, some people said it was chal-lenging, but this course is going to be fl atter.”

Bailey said the changes should encourage more people to sign up, since the race has increased its num-bers every year, starting with 2,000 in its fi rst year, and now expecting that number to balloon to 2,500-3,000 participants when the event takes place Oct. 21.

“We should get some alumni who are runners, when they fi nd out they get to run through the sta-dium, that’s a big selling point for them,” Bailey said. “The registration right now is still four or fi ve months out, [but it’s] already over 1,000.”

Ask them, and they won’t call it a position bat-tle. But tight ends Arthur Lynch and Jay Rome face twin challenges — replac-ing departed former Bulldogs Orson Charles and Aron White while also sorting out where and when they’ll be on the field come Nov. 1. The most recently released depth chart shows the junior Lynch above the redshirt freshman Rome. However, that chart is anything but set in stone, and Rome believes that regardless of whose name appears first on the Sanford Stadium videoboard, the Bulldogs will have a strong unit.

“Whatever the combina-tion’s gonna be, whoever’s gonna be out there first, we’re both gonna be out there and we’re gonna cause problems for any defense,” he said.

Rome expects that he’ll spend a significant amount of time working alongside Lynch in a two tight end

set or by himself on the field. And having two strong tight ends who can rotate during the game will challenge the opposition.

“I think it’s gonna be great, just having a good one-two punch at tight end.”

Animus toward Lynch is the last thing on Rome’s mind. They may not be training together at all times, but when they do, they’re closely integrated, to the benefit of both men.

“Both of us have been working really hard this summer,” Rome said. “Me and him have been working a lot together, and pushing each other a lot.”

The Return of the Flanker

Flanker Chris Conley refuses to be sidelined by health issues as the season approaches.

“By the time we get to camp I should be cleared and I should be ready to go,” he said.

Conley injured his wrist during the offseason, but has largely recovered. Still, his work before his return isn’t done.

“I’ve got a few little knicks and scrapes left,” he said. “I’m still rehabbing and doing things like that.”


From towering over his high school teammates on the football field to compet-ing in the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain, Garrett Scantling con-tinues to push his athletic abilities.

But despite Scantling's recent success in the decath-lon, Georgia’s multi-events coach Petros Kyprianou said Scantling's high school career wasn't “anything special.”

However, Scantling’s height caused Kyprianou to

take a closer look.

“We took a look at some of his football highlights and ... he was standing out over every-body else. He was the big-gest guy, head and shoulders

above everybody else," Kyprianou said.

In the USA Junior Outdoor Championships in Bloomington, Ind., Scantling accumulated 7,434 points in 10 events, which landed him a spot on the U.S. roster for Worlds.

Scantling said about his decision to go to Georgia: “I’ve always been a Gator Hater.”

Three Georgia defenders were named to the Blue Ribbon Yearbook’s preseason All-Southeastern Conference team.

Jarvis Jones has been named the preseason SEC Defensive Player of the Year, and John Jenkins and Bacarri Rambo were also placed on the team.

Jones had a stellar 2011 campaign by leading the SEC in both sacks (13.5) and tackles for loss (19.5).

Jenkins, the 6-foot-3, 350-pound defensive tackle, tallied 28 tackles, three sacks

and six tackles for loss. Rambo grabbed the sec-

ond-most interceptions in the country with eight, while racking up 55 tackles.

Blue Ribbon also picked the Bulldogs to win the SEC’s Eastern Division.

Chick-fil-A Bowl wants playoffs

In the wake of the pass-ing of a four-team playoff by the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, the Chick-fil-A Bowl released a statement Wednesday expressing its desire to “pur-sue a bid to host college foot-ball’s national championship game in Atlanta.”

“We believe we can assemble a compelling bid and play a significant role in college football’s new post season,” said Gary Stokan, Chick-fil-A Bowl president and CEO. “As the future home of the new College Football Hall of Fame, Atlanta has it all ... a world-class facility, a proven host city, transportation and lodg-ing infrastructure, corporate support and a track record for successfully hosting major sports events."

The Chick-fil-A Bowl still remains committed to its bowl and its kickoff event.

� FROM PAGE 1Quite simply, it’s a happy place,

where kids have fun and show wide, toothy smiles.

Georgia football caused some of those smiles Wednesday, as a coterie of Bulldogs made the hour drive from Athens for an afternoon visit to the camp.

Almost immediately, the players were struck by the camp’s emotional nature.

“It doesn’t really hit you until you’re actually there and you see the face of a kid,” flanker Chris Conley said.

The Bulldogs toured the camp from the arts and crafts center to the radio station, with young fans follow-ing along as they went. But the big-gest excitement from the first part of the day may have been the tour’s first stop — an instruction in karate from two blackbelts and their little grass-hoppers.

The players were impressed when one teacher showed off a kick to a pad held by the other teacher.

But they would have second thoughts about being on the receiving end of that kick.

“I wasn’t really excited about that, ‘cause if the dude kicked me, I don’t know,” defensive end Cornelius Washington said.

The day ended with a mini-Dawg Walk out to a field, where the team signed autographs and played a sur-prisingly competitive game of foot-ball.

The game’s highlight — or low-light — came when Washington jumped to catch a pass, only to knock a camper down on his return to earth. The camper was fine, and in fact a lit-tle bit excited about having “tackled” Washington. The two took a photo

after the game, but for the moment, Washington came off the field.

“I don’t think I should play any-more,” he said to spectators’ laughter.

The Bulldogs couldn’t depart the camp without being touched by the experience. Many players drew the contrast between the benefits in their lives and the hardship the campers go through with a smile on their face.

“People wake up every day and complain about having to go to work, or having to go to workouts, or go to class,” tight end Jay Rome said. “But we have the opportunity to do that, and some people might not have that opportunity.”

And the lessons the Bulldogs learned will follow them as Nov. 1 approaches.

“We better do our best for these people,” Conley said. “These kids look up to us and expect us to do great things this season.”

Harris English is only a year removed from graduating from the University of Georgia, and he’s already making a splash as a professional golfer.

Last month, English shot an impres-sive 10-under-par 60 at a British Open qualifier in Texas en route to qualifying for the 2012 British Open.

English knew he could go low, but his ability to focus on each shot helped him to fire a career-best score.

“You go one shot at a time and try to put as much into one shot as you do to the next and never be satisfied with making birdie or making three birdies in a row or making an eagle,” English said. “I just gotta keep going and keep playing a shot at a time.”

Even though English has already played some tournaments on the PGA Tour, including a top-five finish at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, the allure and excitement of playing in a major championship is still strong.

“I never wanna pass up a chance to play in a major championship, espe-cially going over to England,” he said. “I was very excited about going and still am, and I’m just trying to gear up my game for the Open.”

Trying to have fun has been a key to English’s success during his transition from college to professional golf.

“It’s definitely a lot more serious attitude, but at the same time, I’m try-ing to keep it a little more relaxed than some of the guys out here,” he said. “I’m still trying to keep it light and keep the fun while trying to do the best I can.”

Fortunately for English, his best has equated to success even while he was playing professional events as an ama-teur.

In July of last year, English won the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational by one shot over fellow

amateur John Peterson. His experience at the Stadion

Classic at UGA while at Georgia also helped him to know what to expect at a Nationwide Tour event.

“Playing in the [Stadion Classic at UGA] in Athens really helped me know I can play with those guys and know what to expect when I got up to Columbus. I went into that tourna-ment with a lot of confidence and knowing that I could play with those guys,” English said. “Winning [the Children's Hospital Invitational] against John Peterson, I gained a lot of confidence and it set me up for when I turned pro a couple months later. It was an awesome string of events, and I’m very lucky it happened the way that it did.”

Georgia golf head coach Chris Haack said that he was happy to see a former Bulldog succeed, but he wasn’t surprised by English's early success.

“He was always tremendously tal-ented. He was one of those guys when he putted well, played extremely well. I think he finally got more and more comfortable with his putting as he got a little bit older,” Haack said. “We

worked on a few things with his align-ment during his senior year, and he played really well that spring. Once he got really comfortable with his putting, his ball striking was always fabulous, so it doesn’t surprise me.”

Haack also said that he was happy that Georgia players had a special fra-ternity within the ranks of professional golf.

“It always makes me feel really good because being out on tour can some-times be a lonely business. Everybody out there is wanting to beat your brains out, so its hard to find some really good friends. I think that it has been one of the best strengths for all of our guys is the network of Bulldogs that are out there that they all do become friends, and they all do support one another, and that’s always good to see,” Haack said. “Whenever you hear stuff like that it makes you feel good cause it makes you feel like they realize it's a very small and limited fraternity of guys who all have the love of the University of Georgia and golf in common.”

English’s first year has been a major change in several ways from being away from home to playing with guys he used to watch on television.

However, he said that there was no doubt about professional golf being the right career choice for him — he had always known that this was home.

“I’ve seen golf at the highest level, and I know this is where I want to be,” he said. “This is where I want to play. I love competing, and I love being out here and the camaraderie with these guys, and it’s just awesome. I’ve dreamed of this since I was younger, and it’s awesome being able to live it out.”

Georgia head coach Mark Fox highlighted two things on Monday’s media call — the maturation of his team from last year and the team's upcoming Italy trip.

“They’ve got to earn their spots. If it’s [Vincent] Williams at the point, he’s going to make it very com-petitive with Charles [Mann]. I imagine Kentavious [Caldwell-Pope] playing a lot at the No. 2 spot, which will make that position very competitive,” Fox said. “We wanted to be bigger and more athletic at those spots, and Charles

and Kenny [Gaines] will provide a future of long, athletic guards. They’re working hard, but they’re still going to be freshmen so they’ll have growing pains.”

The freshman class includes SG Mann, SG Gaines, PF Houston Kessler and SF Brandon Morris.

The team’s summer trip to Italy will be “invaluable” to the freshman, Fox said.



Southeastern conference football has become a dog-eat-dog world.

Since 1998 — the first year of the Bowl Championship Series — five different SEC programs have combined to win eight of the 14 national titles, including six-straight since 2006.

But Georgia isn't one of those pro-grams.

When head coach Mark Richt held his position in 2010, despite going 6-7, his stringent drug policy

remained as well. South Carolina head coach Steve

Spurrier teased his longtime rival earlier this year, by saying he regrets not having the Georgia game early in the season this year because it was always guaranteed that one or two big name players would be sus-pended.

The sad truth is that Georgia is becom-ing somewhat of a laughingstock amongst SEC faithful due to its drug policy, which puts them at a competitive disadvantage before they even take the field.

Of the 12 traditional SEC schools, there are only three programs that suspend its players after their first marijuana-related offense: Kentucky, Mississippi State and Georgia.

The secondary will be thin in September due to suspensions of senior safety Bacarri Rambo and junior linebacker Alec Ogletree, for the now infamous pot brownie scandal.

Branden Smith will join the other two Georgia players for a similar infraction — a possession of marijuana arrest in Henry County, Ala. last March.

The two men in charge — Greg McGarity and Richt — are actually making

the noble and proper decision.They are choosing to teach these young

men a lesson, to further develop them into becoming honorable men — often times a bigger task than turning them into football stars.

But since success in the SEC is defined in championships, being 'noble' won't be

enough.— Benjamin Wolk is a junior journal-

Sometimes the punish-ment fits the crime.

But beneath the major NCAA violations, many minor violations occur by accident.

And school compliance departments, like the one headed by Georgia’s senior associate athletic director Jim Booz, work tirelessly to inform coaches and players of NCAA rules and viola-tions.

Rules which include 13.4.1, which allows admin-istration to send letters to recruits — but only with white and black ink.

“Some of the guidelines are antiquated,” Booz said. “The way that technology continues to advance, the rules are just not near as advanced as technology.”

Included in 13.4.1 are stipulations that prohibit game programs from being mailed to prospects, but do allow for recruiting bro-chures or media guides — but not both.
