About six months after graduation, the University of Georgia's Career Center makes attempts to contact recent graduates through emails and phone calls to ask about their employment status in order to survey where most students were hired along with where they had positive experiences in the workplace.

JOB MARKET

On the hunt: Students tread similar career paths With graduation just around the corner, even the most reluctant college seniors are starting to face the idea of life after college. But as the job market remains less than optimal, University of Georgia students are wondering where they are going after they leave campus. AfterCollege, an online career networking website for students and recent graduates, issued a press release stating Intel Corporation had or was edging out the competition for most popular employer for technology, engineering and business majors, although companies such as Google, The Boeing Company and Target remain popular as well. “[Data were gathered through] a combination of email and post graduation survey, in addition to phone calls to students approximately six months after they graduate,” said Scott Williams, executive director of the Career Center. Jill Walton, director of undergradu-

ate student services and corporate relations for Terry College of Business, said the top employers for business majors graduating from UGA, according to annual surveys, continue to be consistent — Ernst and Young, Deloitte, KPMG and PwC. “Obviously May is the biggest time for our graduating students so we’ve already released that survey to our expected May grads and then we hound them to fill it out,” she said. “Because for business school rankings we have to report numbers at graduation, so how many of them have jobs at graduation, and then three months after graduation.” Walton said 80 percent of Terry’s students are employed by three months after graduation. Although the majors are finance and marketing, management information systems is becoming more popular. And Microsoft Corporation came in at Terry’s fifth biggest hiring company.

STUDENT ENTREPRENEUR PROFILE One student, who runs a business, has taken his future into his own hands.

BY CODY PACE @CodyPace After a nearly twomonth battle, Kain Colter and the College Athletes Players Association have won their appeal to the National Labor Relations Board to be classified as employees. The ruling gives the players at Northwestern University the right to form a players union and poses a major challenge to the NCAA’s model of amateurism. But, labor laws in Georgia prevent the possibility of the University of Georgia’s football players from ever forming a union. “This could not happen at the University of Georgia,” said Claud McIver, a partner at the Atlanta office of Fisher & Phillips, which specializes in compliance efforts involving federal and state employment laws. Georgia abides by “right to work” labor law, which allows employees the option to decline union membership when one is available. A handful of “right to work” states also have further legislation that prevents state employees from forming unions, which would apply in the case of any potential players’ union. “That would make football players public employees and under Georgia law public employees may not form a

Georgia wide receiver Chris Conley (31) took part in the “All Players United” movement last September. FILE/Staff union,” McIver said. However, the Northwestern decision isn’t final. “Regardless of what the NLRB does, it’s going to get appealed to the federal courts and the courts are going to decide this,” said Gary Roberts, a professor at the Indiana School of Law. “This decision is nothing but a wake-

up call to anybody who might’ve thought this was a joke.” Northwestern confirmed this in its official statement. “We believe that participation in athletic events is part of the overall educational experience for those students, not a separate activity,” the statement said.

That being said, even a final decision at the federal level would be limited in scope because state laws take precedent. Northwestern is a private school, therefore making employees of Northwestern University federal employees. This decision does, however, set the stage for further victories for college athletes against the NCAA. Recently, three college football players and a college basketball player recruited the help of labor attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who helped the NFL Players’ Association win free agency in 1992, in a lawsuit claiming that the NCAA’s rules on compensation is price fixing. All of this is designed to challenge the business model of the NCAA that classifies student athletes as amateurs and it extends far beyond just financial compensation for players. “We strongly disagree with the notion that student-athletes are employees,” NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy said in the NCAA’s official statement. “We frequently hear from student-athletes, across all sports, that they participate to enhance their overall college experience and for the love of their sport, not to be paid.” See UNION, Page B3

Drones serve as research tools for UGA

EMPLOYERS: Students are hoping for top job offers

BY STEPHEN MAYS @stephen_mays Some researchers at the University of Georgia have a new tool in their arsenal — drones. The unmanned aerial vehicles are DJI Phantom 2 Vision quadcopters. The camera-wielding machines give researchers an invaluable new vantage point, said Tommy Jordan, associate director of the Center for Geospatial Research. “I made this amazing three-dimensional landscape from this thing, and never have we been able to do that before,” Jordan said. “I’m blown away by it.” Jordan’s primary use of the Phantom UAV is for research, specifically at the Wormsloe Institute for Environmental History near Savannah collecting data on marsh health and the monitoring of butterfly gardens on the Georgia coast. Before the drones, the department used satellite imagery and aerial photography. “It gives us a lot more autonomy to collect the data,” Jordan said. “Frequency is the other thing, too. I can fly this thing multiple times a day. I can go from here today to the Botanical Gardens, to White Hall Forest, and then I can get in my car and go down to Savannah and fly down there, all in the same day.” Instead of finding a contractor for one flight on a specific day in the future with little ability to redo the flight if something erred, Jordan can look outside and decide it’s a good day to go out and fly the drone. The use of the

drones will allow for new types of comparative variables to be used when monitoring the marshes or butterfly gardens, said Marguerite Madden, director of the Center for Geospatial Research. “We can use time frames more relevant to what we’re studying,” she said, mentioning photos taken before and after the tide comes in relating to the marshes. Jordan said the center bought the drone in February and put just under $2,000 into the project, including replacement parts, an iPad and software. A copilot uses the iPad to see what the camera attached to the drone sees during flight. Julie Velásquez Runk, assistant professor of anthropology, received two of these quadcopters through a learning technologies grant in January. The program funds projects for one year, supports the exploration and evaluation of new teaching methods, according to a UGA Today article. Runk utilizes the drones in her new mapping course, “Anthropology of

Courtesy Tommy Jordan Landscape,” she wrote in an email. “I think these have the potential to give a new level of sensory perspectives to landscapes,” Runk said in a later interview. The usage of these drones is still limited due to ethical issues. Runk said her drones came with very strict guidelines as where they could be used. So far, she said, her students will be using them in public spaces like parks to work on their projects. “I think the really surprising thing [about the drones] is that they’re really loud,” she said. “They’re like a

giant fly. It would be impossible to sneak up on someone.” Jordan also mentioned concerns for unethical use of the machines, stating that the researchers would never think to cross onto a person’s private property while using the quadcopter.

“We’ve got a good group of alumni there who are pushing for more recruitment here. We leverage our alumni contacts within companies to get them to encourage the companies to recruit here.” Hadiza Hinton, a sophomore accounting major from Fayetteville, said she is still set on working for Deloitte. “[It’s] just my dream company,” she said. “I’ve been going to different workshops over the summers and they’ve been visiting employers since I was in high school.” Tim Foutz, a professor of engineering, wrote in an email to The Red & Black that UGA had been offering degrees in engineering for 20 years, even though the College of Engineering was established two years ago. He wrote some of the biggest employers were John Deere, Geo rgia Pow er Company, Georgia T r a n s m i s s i o n Corporation and Fowler Products. “[There is] one stipulation that you have to tell people with agricultural engineering,” said Matthew Birkbeck, a senior agricultural engineering major with a mechanical systems emphasis from Duluth. “A lot of

people that are doing the hiring just assume they want to work on farms or with tractors or whatever, but it’s really just a broad range of engineering. It doesn’t necessarily close doors it just makes it a little bit harder to get the point across that we are well versed in mechanical systems whereas a mechanical engineer from [Georgia] Tech wouldn’t have to have that extra conversation.” Chris Plaue, a lecturer and the undergraduate coordinator for computer science, wrote in an email that the department’s monitoring of graduates is less formal. Recent hires, he wrote, went to companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, General Motors, PwC and Deutsche Bank. Kyle Krafka, a fourth-year doctoral student in computer science from Marietta, said working at Google was a dream of his while Sarah Allen, a junior computer science major from Thomasville, said she’d rather go into security. “I’ve always kind of been interested in it and I went to a conference when I was in high school that focused on information and technology security,” she said. “It kind of sparked a passion.”

News A3

Warm weather could bring more crime BY RACHEL BRANNON @rachbran18 The arrival of warm weather could bring an increase in crime. A study published in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management looked at 30 years of monthly reports of criminal activity from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting files with records of temperatures from almost 3,000 counties. From the data, it concluded that temperature has a strong effect on criminal behavior. Although The Red & Black could not obtain data to confirm this, University of Georgia Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said he has seen trends in crime increase in Athens during the warmer months. This is probably due to the fact that people are out more, and criminals are aware of this. “You know the warm weather brings more people out to go to dinner and go out downtown, and then the criminal element knows there are going to be more people out, so they look for the opportunities,” Williamson said. Williamson said the crimes that increase are alcohol-related issues, robberies and assaults. He said criminals know more people will be out and look for the “easy targets,” which include people who are out alone at night or might have had too much to drink.

706-543-3473 283 E. Clayton St. Athens, GA 30601 www.tenas.com

University of Georgia Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said robberies and alcohol-related issues rise during the warmer months. FILE/Staff “We see a lot of people that are inebriated,” Williamson said. “But the inebriated people that normally get arrested are the ones that are causing a problem for somebody.” Hilda Sorrow, public information assistant for AthensClarke County police, said people may forget to lock up the doors and windows of their residences. “People will be working in their yards, and they leave the doors unlocked, so they’ll get involved in doing the work outside and won’t pay attention to the doors,” Sorrow said. Sorrow said police also see a

rise in entering autos. “We have problems with people not securing their property no matter what the weather is,” Sorrow said. “But in those hotter months they just don’t roll the window up because they don’t want to get into a hot car. So that makes it easier for the thieves to just walk by and pick up what they see on the seats.” Sorrow said police will do extra patrols to increase visibility of police. Police will also release announcements to remind people to not leave valuables in their cars.

FREE Chef’s Speical Appetizer w/ Entree*

BY LAURA JAMES @laurajames225 A U.S. representative thinks more than 100 universities may have financial aid application processes in place that violate the Higher Education Act, but the University of Georgia is not one of them. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) sent a letter to Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, on Feb. 3. He wrote that 111 universities are violating the Higher Education Act “by explicitly requiring applicants to submit forms other than the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or by failing to make clear that only the FAFSA is required to be considered for federal student aid.” Cummings requests to investigate how the Department of Education can better enforce the act, which was reauthorized in 1992 to ensure schools only require students submit a single, free document — FAFSA — for eligibility for federal financial aid. The list of 111 universities includes Yale University, Harvard College, Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. UGA, as well as several other universities also not on the list, uses the Institutional Student Information Record to determine eligibility for aid given out. The U.S. Department of Education Central Processing System provides this document to universities using the information collected from a student’s FAFSA. “Eligibility for need-based scholarships on campus are based on the results of FAFSA, which is free,” said Bonnie Joerschke, the director of the Office of Student Financial Aid. “This has and will continue to serve the needs of our institution in distributing our limited institutional funds.” The main concern for Cummings is universities violating the act could make the process of applying for federal aid and applying to college too costly for applicants. “There is a perception at least that colleges are using the College Board form for a disqualifier, and while it’s legal to do that for campus-based aid, there’s people who question whether or not that’s a consumer-friendly practice since that form costs $25 for the first one and $16 for each additional for every additional college you apply to after that,” said Frank LoMonte, the executive director of the Student Press Law Center. “That could certainly add up if you sent that to multiple colleges so I think there are legitimate questions on whether that is a consumer-friendly practice.” LoMonte, a visiting professor at the School of Law, said he thinks the Department of Education will focus on reeducating the institutions on the provisions in the act. “I think the ball is really in the court of the Department of Education as to whether they think there are serious enough violations to start imposing fines,” he said. “If it is such a widespread practice across the higher education field, it’s somewhat doubtful [the Department of Education] would do that. I would strongly suspect that what you will see is some kind of reminder from Secretary Duncan’s office reinforcing the colleges that the FAFSA form is the only document they can legally require.”

Police will periodically perform enforcement checks on establishments with alcohol licenses. DAVID C BRISTOW/Staff

Misreading IDs leads to selling of alcohol to minors BY LAURA JAMES @laurajames225 Athens-Clarke County police caught two restaurant servers selling alcohol to underage customers. Using undercover operatives, ACC police performed enforcement checks at Buffalo’s Southwest Café and Inoko Japanese Steakhouse on Alps Road, police said in the reports. Police reported that on March 12, a server at Buffalo’s sold alcohol to two underage operatives who possessed valid, state-issued identification cards, which “reflected the actual name, birth date, and photos” of the undercover operatives, police said. “I mean it was an accident and I misread the IDs and it was kind of unexpected, honestly,” said Christine Hawkes, the server who was arrested at Buffalo’s for selling to the underage operatives. “I can understand people showing an actual underage ID downtown or something, but in a restaurant, people wouldn’t usually hand you a real underage ID.” Hawkes, 20, said the operatives ate and paid, acting “normal” the whole time. “They said they were waiting for their friend who just so happened to be the agent,” she said. Hawkes said she lost her job and expects to pay a fine but will not know

until she has court in about a month. “They [the restaurant] will probably have to pay a fine as well, but Buffalo’s isn’t a place that gets caught a lot,” Hawkes said. Dennis Lee, 38, sold alcoholic beverages to the same two underage operatives at Inoko that night. The owner of Inoko declined to comment on his employee’s arrest. Sergeant Laura Lusk from ACCPD said Athens has 330 businesses with alcohol licenses where police perform enforcement checks periodically. However, Lusk said it is not an automatic guarantee a business will lose its license if caught selling alcohol to underage customers. “The restaurant goes to what’s called an administration hearing which is a civil hearing in front of an administrative judge and then on the criminal side, the offender — the server — we ask the municipal court judge to sign a warrant for their arrest based on our information and if they sign it, they get arrested,” she said. “They go to a criminal trial and it all depends on the judge and what they perceive as far as their sentences.” Enforcement checks performed by ACC police previously caused Pauley’s Original Crepe Bar to be charged with selling alcohol to underage customers last October.

OUR TAKE

Smoking ban a childish attempt to end addiction

T

he ban on all tobacco use that was approved for the University of Georgia’s campus Wednesday made me feel as if I was back in middle school. Gum was banned from my middle school classrooms because a few troublemakers abused their privileges. They stuck it under the desks, popped it during lectures and their bad behavior ruined the fun for everyone else. Unfortunately, just like in middle school, a few rule-breaking smokers on campus led to the Georgia Board of Regents to ban everyone from smoking. It is our way, as men and women just budding into maturity, that we do things to harm our health for the fun of it. It’s the American way. College is where we’re allowed to live any way we please — free from the overbearing rules of our parents’ households. But the ban on all tobacco products that will begin Oct. 1 is not conducive to that. The ban on smoking is overbearing. We don’t want UGA to be our helicopter parents. The new policy offers no designated space to smokers on campus, and that is too strict. Although we can see that smokers haven’t respected the previous restriction of smoking areas on campus, there is a necessary midway point. Designate smoking areas to allow smokers their freedom while protecting those who are concerned about their health. Smoking is a social act, and designated smoking areas are a more realistic solution to the problem of unhealthy smoke floating around on campus. No smoker is going to quit just because of the ban — as I assume was UGA’s goal. A smoker is already sacrificing his health for the addiction. A smoking policy, with no clear plan for enforcement, is not going to make a difference. But the ban largely affects freshmen, who likely spend almost 24 hours a day on campus-owned property. It’s not fair that incoming freshman will be thrown into a smoke-free life with little say in the matter. Smoke isn’t always just a subtle form of rebellion — it is an addiction. And addictions aren’t cured by “shared community responsibility.” I’m sure another student’s glare for smoking is intimidating, but it doesn’t beat the pull of addiction. A complete ban on smoking won’t realistically combat smoking on campus, it will only litter the campus with cigarette butts. — Hilary Butschek for the editorial board

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Spring Fever epidemic takes hold of campus

A

thens has finally begun to thaw after it experienced a daunting two inches of snow earlier this semester. Students began to fear they would never be able to don cut-off shorts or Chacos ever again. However, the sun has finally begun to show itself. As the weather peaks at a balmy 70 degrees, hammocks and acoustic guitars run rampant amongst hacky sack circles and sunbathers on North Campus. Spring Fever is an unusual ailment found in college students. Symptoms include wear-

ing crop tops in 65 degree weather, Instagraming photos of “the first flowers of spring” and the tagline “#SpringSprangSprung” following every social media update. Following the contraction of the illness, those afflicted become convinced that they are a nature photographer for National Geographic and proceed to take photos of trees, grass and other

plant life. There is also a distinct possibility that a Spring Fever victim will become unable to control themselves around an acoustic guitar. They grow completely obsessed with the notion of strumming a John Mayer song that displays their innate sensitivity and “individuality.” Consumed by their determination, Spring Fever victims force them-

selves into shorts and tank tops simply because their calendar claims that the seasons have changed, though the weather begs to differ. At its worst, they brave 50 degree weather in their swimsuits. They will get a tan, even if it kills them. There is no cure for Spring Fever. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself in a poorly hung hammock tweeting Emerson quotes that you found off of BrainyQuote.com.​ — Courtney Willett is the assistant variety editor for The Red & Black

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

‘Ban Bossy’ campaign a challenge for men and women

T

he recent “Ban Bossy” campaign famously — promoted by Beyoncé, Condoleezza Rice and Jennifer Garner — prompted a few of the true gentlemen behind me in class to joke about how overdramatic women are and how this epidemic of discouraging girls to be leaders was also just that — an overreaction. I’ll spare you the chauvinistic details. Did I turn around and tell them just how wrong they were? No. Of course not. Why? Because I, like so many of my peers, don’t want to be the shoved into the proverbial “pushy female” box. That’s when it hit me that I was just as much part of the problem as the guys sitting behind me in class. As long as I fear the label, it will have just as much power over me as when I was a little girl. I took the thought home with me, wrestled with it, mulled it carefully and eventually brought it up with a group of my friends. Here’s where the truly shocking part comes in: the men in the group didn’t see the problem. “There are more girls in my

Amanda Horne Guest Columnist

classes than guys, the glass ceiling is a thing of the past.” The girls sat in slight shock and glanced at each other. They really had no idea what it was like to be a woman in today’s world. I know that not all guys on campus share these views — in fact, some are ardent supporters of women’s rights. But the hard truth in my life is that many of the men around me haven’t a clue of the challenges a woman faces in the United States, even today. I am the first to admit that we have made giant strides in the last 50 years. But, I still live in a world where only 19 percent of our Congress is female. We attend a university where only 30 percent of tenured professors are women, according to the University of Georgia Factbook. We grew up in a world where girls’ self-esteem drops 3.5 times more than boys from elementary school to high school.

I understand there’s no way to truly ban a word from the language and even then, I know a word alone doesn’t hold much power. But I admire Sheryl Sandberg for beginning a much needed conversation in this country. It starts with the way we think and talk about women. Regardless of my political beliefs, I was appalled at the way women were treated in the 2008 election. While the men in the race were being asked questions about foreign policy and economic stimulus, newspapers were printing articles about Hillary Clinton’s ‘cankles.’ While John McCain and Barack Obama were presented as capable leaders, people couldn’t resist commenting on how attractive Sarah Palin was. As long as that is how we talk about women with power, nothing will change. The guys in my classes will continue to think women have it just as easy as they do, and the girls next to me in class will still be afraid to speak up. — Amanda Horne is a junior from Cartersville majoring in psychology and political science

The Red & Black

Why your terrible, recently busted NCAA tournament bracket is awful BY TAYLOR DENMAN @t_d_denman The number of hours you spent in front of your TV last week was embarrassing. But it’s March, and that means March Madness. Maybe it’s time someone is frank with you: your bracket is garbage. Yes, that’s right, trash. And the hours you spent analyzing the NCAA tournament matchup-by-matchup, those hours you could have spent studying or sleeping — they’re wasted. The damage is done, my friend. You’re just going to have to come to terms with the fact that no one cares about the clever name you made for your bracket because it’s all the way at the bottom of the pool.

As random as crafting a bracket may be, it is still an intricate process, and whether you stumbled upon the right formula or not, there are several different parts to everyone's bracket.

over North Carolina. Then, I just couldn’t help myself and put them in the Sweet Sixteen. Don’t judge me. My roommate did the same thing with Baylor, and it’s looking like things may pan out for him. Just remember, it’s not your fault your hometown pick didn’t pan out. It’s your stepsister’s great-uncle’s housekeeper’s fault that she has a son who goes to Delaware.

The homer pick It’s not that I don’t care that you’re a fairweather Nebraska fan because your mom’s cousin’s uncle’s niece’s stepfather twice-removed had a golf buddy that lived in Omaha. It was just a bad pick. Don’t feel down, we all did it. Mine was Providence. Maybe I was too high off their Big East (but still not The Big East) tournament win. The combination of that and my family’s Rhode Island roots caused me to recklessly pick them

ing? This March you were prepared. Maybe you went with the pick that sounded good: Eastern Kentucky over Kansas. Yeah, they have Kentucky in their name, and Kentucky’s good. Or you said, “To hell with it.” You took American University over Wisconsin because otherwise you’re basically saying Wisconsin is better than America. Nothing beats ‘Merica. Well, they all lost. All of them. Not one No. 2 seed lost in the first round this season. In fact, Mercer is the only team lower than a No. 12 seed that won in the round of 64.

The No. 2 over No. 15 upset If you play into bracketology shows or you’re a fantasy sports addict, you know the No. 15 seeds have had the No. 2 seeds' numbers in years past. Last year Florida Gulf Coast took out Georgetown, and who saw that com-

No. 1 seed “shocker” If you took Wichita State farther than the Sweet Sixteen, I have no sympathy for you. I could not see a team from a small conference, without an impressive win, going into the tournament and running through a difficult Midwest Region. I don’t care how many times Digger Phelps said this team was “the real deal.” The Shockers’ region is too treacherous, even without Duke. If you stuck with Florida, Arizona or Virginia, good job. You’ve got the common sense to be a solid sports writer. Shame on the rest of you; you should stick to accounting.

UGA seeking sustainable fuel sources to replace coal-fired boiler on campus

News A9

Software to replace OASIS given official name — Athena BY STEPHEN MAYS @stephen_mays

BY DANIEL FUNKE @dpfunke The University of Georgia is in the process of seeking a replacement for the last remaining coal-fired boiler on campus, including a number of sustainable alternatives including biomass and natural gas. The 48-year-old boiler is used as a supplemental source of heat for campus during the winter months. According to a press release written by Ryan Nesbit, vice president for finance and administration, UGA will probably replace the boiler within the decade. “The University has been proactively exploring possible replacement steam generation technologies utilizing a variety of fuel sources, including biomass and natural gas,” he said in the release. This month, UGA’s Facilities Management Division initiated a solicitation of private energy firms in an attempt to seek out an alternative source of energy. David Spradley, director of energy services in FMD, said UGA is considering biomass and natural gas as potential replacements for coal and that UGA is conducting a study with Jacobs Engineering to see which option would be most effective. “We have not asked [Jacobs Engineering Group] to include coal as a possible fuel source. The only other options are biomass or natural gas,” he said. Spradley said biomass is a difficult source of energy to use due to the high volume of material that is needed to power the boiler. He said any biomass-powered plant would have to be located off-campus as a result. “I would imagine that the biomass option is probably going to turn out to be more expensive because it would actually have to be a new plant in a different location, and that will probably add cost to it,” he said. Spradley said the study will

The University of Georgia is looking to replace the coal-fired boiler on campus and is considering alternate sources of energy. JOHN ROARK/Staff reach its conclusion in the next few months. But the problem with the project lies in the fact that there is no additional funding available for replacing the boiler. “We’re trying to evaluate not only the technology that’s out there, what fuel we might be able to use, but also the project costs if we decided to do this,” he said. “We don’t have any funding for this.” Whichever option UGA chooses, Spradley said it must be able to help the three other gas boilers in powering the steam plant 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to provide heat in the form of climate control and water for on-campus buildings such as offices, classrooms and dorms. Tyler Faby, policy board member to the sustainability committee for the UGA Student Government Association, said biomass and natural gas are not necessarily clean sources of energy. “There are some reports that say biomass point-source pollution is even worse than coal in some variances,” he said. “And

natural gas is not exactly a clean fuel source. You still have to use a ton of water to keep the systems cool.” And Alyson Merlin, a freshman ecology major, agreed. “Natural gas would be a step up, though still disappointing from a top-tier university with several respected environmental programs,” she said. “Hopefully soon we’ll see UGA exploring some sustainable energy choices.” Spradley said UGA is gradually working toward increasing sustainability and has reduced its steam demand by 20 percent in the past couple of years through efficiency improvements. Faby said although neither biomass nor natural gas are ideal clean energy sources, they are still better options than coal. Coal can cause issues regarding water and air pollution as well as land use, among other things. “I think the University if moving in the right direction,” Faby said. “Anything they do responsibly at this point is going to be better than coal.”

The student information system set to replace the University of Georgia’s Online Access to Student Information Systems finally has a name — Athena. Athena, a name shared with the Greek goddess of wisdom, was selected as the name for the new system in an online poll conducted during the fall 2013 semester. Athena received 54 percent of the votes from the 576 participating students, according to a fact sheet received from Tracy Giese, public relations coordinator for the Office of the Vice President for Instruction. Peri Cavusgil, a firstyear genetics and premed major from Atlanta, didn’t vote in the online poll and only used OASIS for two registrations. “It was definitely difficult figuring it out at first, but at orientation, they helped me out with it,” she said. The first students to use with this new software will be those who have a completed a 2014-2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid . Those students will receive an

email from the Office of Student Financial Aid explaining how to log into Athena. Registration for the fall 2014 semester will be completed using Athena. Students registering for summer 2014 classes will still use OASIS. “Registration in Athena is fairly straightforward,” wrote Jan Hathcote, registrar, in an email sent from Giese. “We had a small focus group of students who logged in as testers, and they had no problem navigating the system.” Athena centralizes information so students can “easily access academic and financial aid records, register for classes, pay tuition and fees and update personal information,” the fact sheet reads. The go-live date for fall 2014 semester payment, Giese said, is still July 1. The rolling availability of Athena’s different sections, Giese said, allows those working on the software to attempt and work out any kinks before everything is live. “I hope that it’s more self-explanatory and easier to use, and I’m glad that I only had to deal with OASIS for part of year,” Cavusgil said.

Century-old cast iron lampposts to be refurbished BY DANIEL FUNKE @dpfunke The University of Georgia is working to restore 10 cast iron lampposts on North Campus. The lampposts, located outside of the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building and the Chapel were a gift to UGA from the class of 1914. The lampposts were installed by the Athens Rail and Light Company, constituting the first significant outdoor lighting project in Athens. After 100 years on campus, the lampposts have deteriorated and are in need of repair. The UGA Facilities Management Division is working to update the wiring and lamp bodies, replace missing cast iron parts and reinstall lampposts. It began work on Feb. 15, removed the lampposts. Temporary lighting was installed March 10. It is expected to finish the project sometime in the next few weeks, before the graduation ceremony on May 9. Dexter Adams, director of the grounds department within

The University of Georgia is restoring the North Campus lampposts, which will be back on campus after being painted. JOHN ROARK/Staff FMD, said the project is estimated to cost around $30,000, which is derived from the maintenance budget. Adams said the lampposts needed significant repairs as they had not been restored since their original construction. “[The lampposts] have been repaired and maintained, but this is the first complete reconditioning and restoration that’s been done,” he said. Adams said FMD used the same foundry to make the lamppost castings as they did for the North Campus iron fence restoration, which has taken place over

the past couple of years. “Pieces over the years had gone missing, so we had replacement castings made,” he said. “We’re leaving as much of the original as possible.” In addition to physical repairs, Adams said FMD is also working to move lampposts that had trees grow around them over the years. Jennifer Lucas, a freshman biology major from Johns Creek, said students who walk through North Campus at night will be afforded a greater degree of safety after the project concludes due to increased visibility.

“It’ll make things a lot safer,” she said. “I’ve always noticed that area of campus is especially dark at night.” Adams said the renovated lampposts will include new LED light bulbs. “It should be a nice soft light, very energy efficient,” he said. “It’s a historic restoration, but we’ve put the latest in lighting technology in the lamps.” When asked about the safety provided by lights on North Campus, UGA Chief of Po l i c e Jimmy Williamson said UGA places a high priority on lighting around campus in order to ensure students’ safety and well-being. “Lighting is a top priority campus-wide,” he said. “The lighting [on North Campus] was working [before the restoration]." Williamson said he understands just making sure there are not any issues with the lampposts. He said the new LED lights and the vibrant white light they give off may give people walking through campus at night more comfort due to the clarity provide.

Faculty contributes to UGA’s increasing graduate school reputation BY MICHELLE BARUCHMAN @mlbaruchman Five of the University of Georgia’s graduate programs were recognized for their achievement in U.S. News & World Report’s 2015 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools. Terry College of Business, the School of Law, the College of Education, Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering all had programs that placed in the ranking of the five main disciplines reviewed by U.S. News & World Reports. The ranking criteria varies between programs, but generally each is assessed by standardized test scores of newly enrolled students, opinions from experts on each program’s quality and acceptance rates along with other factors. UGA’s College of Education placed No. 33 among all education programs in the nation, compared to No. 43 last year. Craig Kennedy, dean of the College of Education, came from Vanderbilt University, which held the No. 1 spot for top education schools last year, now held by Johns Hopkins University. The faculty this year had more research grants, which Kennedy said is an index of productivity for the quality of their work. More members of the faculty this year also won national awards and were named editors of a prestigious journal and named fellows of the American Educational Research Association. “We’ve moved up to where we really should be, which is getting close to the top 25 of all colleges of education in the nation,” Kennedy said.

University of Georgia students enter and exit Hirsch Hall in the School of Law, which is ranked in the top 10 public law schools in the nation. ORLANDO PIMENTEL/Staff Franklin College of Arts and Sciences contains the science Ph.D. programs including biological sciences, which tied for No. 42, mathematics, which tied for No. 52 and chemistry, which tied for No. 56. Like Kennedy, Alan Dorsey, dean of Franklin College, said hiring quality faculty attracts the top students. “We’ve done a good job in recruiting outstanding faculty and we’ll continue to do so and over the years,” Dorsey said. “We’ll see the rankings continue to increase as we focus not so much on the rankings, but rather on the quality of the program.” The College of Engineering tied for No. 19 in biological and agricultural engineering programs. Massachusetts Institute of

Technology holds the No. 1 spot. Though a fairly new college, Donald Leo, dean of the College of Engineering, said he plans to see the college continue to increase in rankings. “For the future in terms of our graduate program and the College of Engineering as a whole, I see growth,” Leo said. “Right now we have about 80 students in our program. I could see our research activity increasing in the coming years.” UGA’s School of Law moved up to the No. 29 spot overall and included in the top 10 public law schools in the nation. Yale University took the first place spot for top law schools. “We never put too much stock in whether we are 29th or 31st or 27th or

35th, but we concentrate on being the best law school that we can and hope the recognition will come,” said Paul Rollins, associate dean for administration in the School of Law. Rollins said the school doesn’t have any specific goals related to rankings for the future. “Our goal each year is to have a talented student body, to continue to hire and cultivate great faculty and to provide a great legal education at a reasonable cost, and we are pretty proud of the value that a Georgia law degree offers,” Rollins said. The Terry College of Business' full-time MBA program ranked No. 48 in the nation, and No. 23 among public programs. Harvard University, Stanford University and University of Pennsylvania all tied for the No. 1 spot. Mark Dawkins, associate dean for academic programs in Terry, partially attributes the increase in rankings to curriculum changes. He also said Terry has been able to provide other resources to students. “With the economy getting better, we’ve been able to offer more internships, better full-time jobs and starting salaries have increased,” Dawkins said. But, he said the success of the college and the increased rank is ultimately due to a combination of factors. “We’re getting stronger students coming into the program the program changes are getting better visibility and recognition in the marketplace,” Dawkins said. “Our ranking is a testament to the quality of Terry faculty, staff and students. Everyone is doing a good job and moving in the same direction, and that direction is up.”

Georgia receives low grade for investment in higher education BY DANIEL FUNKE @dpfunke Efforts to expand access to colleges and universities in Georgia may not be benefiting students and their families as much as those in other states, according to a recent report. The Student Impact Project, a rating system conducted by the public policy organization Young Invincibles, gave Georgia a grade of C+ for its higher education policies, and included factors such as tuition, state aid and burden on families. According to the report, tuition rates in Georgia have risen 79 percent in the past five years, resulting in an average debt load of $22,443. In addition, the state legislature has cut support for higher education by 30 percent since 2007, leading to a 96 percent increase in the burden placed on families. “Higher education budget cuts handicap not only students and their families, but the larger American economy,” said Aaron Smith, executive director of YI, in a press release. “Large tuition increases and declining financial aid have driven students into greater debt at a time they can least afford it.” Colin Seeberger, the communications coordinator for YI, said the study focused on how state educational policies affected students and their families. “Twenty-five years ago, states picked up about 80 percent of the tab of higher education. We’ve seen a shift in the burden away from the states and toward students,” he said. “We sort of broke down how the higher ed budget in each state affects students.

The Student Impact Project evaluates the state's investment in higher education using factors including tuition and burden on families. Courtesy Young Invincibles We wanted to amplify the student perspective, so we looked at what would affect them.” Ryan Nesbit, the vice president for finance and administration at the University of Georgia, said the university is constantly seeking ways it can provide financial aid to help students

and their families. “A very high priority of our administration is keeping education affordable while at the same time maintaining the quality of the academic experience,” he said. Nesbit said the administration routinely conducts operational effi-

ciency evaluations in order to make sure UGA is using its funds as efficiently as possible so that additional steps may be taken to contribute to the educational process. The Red & Black attempted to contact the UGA Office of Student Financial Aid, but it declined to comment. Although Georgia received low grades for changes in tuition rates and the burden policies place on families, Seeberger said state aid initiatives, such as the HOPE Scholarship, are improving student access to higher education. “A C+ isn’t great, but at the same time there are a lot of states that are in a lot worse shape than that,” he said. “In terms of improvement, there’s got to be a way that we can reverse the trend in having the costs shift to being on families. We have to find a way that the states can pick up a bigger part of the tab.” Emma Wakeman, a freshman women’s studies major from Atlanta, said HOPE is an indicator of Georgia’s commitment to higher education. “We got a C+, but also we have the HOPE Scholarship, which I think is a huge difference between [UGA] and other state universities,” she said. Seeberger said YI conducted the project by collecting policy data from each state and then averaging that with other states. “We averaged all [the factors], we took the data, we standardized it based on some sort of plausible baseline, whether it was the national average or the rate of inflation, we scored every state, gave them a letter grade for each subject and the final grade is an average of all those,” he said.

AMATEURISM

Time commitment to the ‘G’ Legal challenges to college football model lead to comparisons to part-time jobs BY NICK SUSS @nicksuss The word job means something different to everyone. There are full-time jobs and parttime jobs. There are paid jobs and unpaid jobs. With relation to sports, there are college football teams and there is Northwestern University. After Wednesday’s ruling from the National Labor Relations Board effectively condoning the unionization of Northwestern’s football team against the university, the status of athletic amateurism is in flux. At the crux of the argument is this dilemma: Though athletes are technically unpaid for services they are doing for their schools, they are receiving other non-monetary benefits such as academic aid and, in some cases, scholarship money otherwise unavailable to the general student population. But for the NLRB decision, the entire case came down to the number of hours. According to the statement released by the NLRB, Northwestern football players committed 50-60 hours per week during training camp and an excess of 40 hours per week during the season itself. These values

compare athletics to common oncampus jobs for students. In examining the parallels and the contrasts, one can more accurately come to an understanding, either in the affirmative or in the negative, of the issue. At the University of Georgia, students work in varied fields and give back to the university in more ways than one. To be more specific, The Part-time Job and Internship Survey from the UGA Career Center in fall

2010 examined data on student internships and employment facts about two common student jobs: food services and campus transit. On the internships front, time working and pay scales vary greatly depending on the internship itself. According to the sample of 128 Georgia students surveyed, the average internship consumed 24 hours of time per week. Thirty-three percent of these interns were paid by the hour, with the average hourly wage equaling $13 per hour. While 11 percent of these interns were paid according to a salary, 50 percent of these internships were unpaid. As for food services and campus transit, both systems adhere to parttime, hourly work scales. Part-time student employees are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week with pay scales varying depending on experience and incentives reached. For example, the average food services worker starts at a pay scale of $7.60 per hour, but can raise their pay grade if they begin working when the residence halls open in the fall or continue working through finals in the spring semester.

Chasing down championships BY NIKKI EGGERS @nik_egg14 Winning a national championship really is all it’s cracked up to be. Georgia’s women’s swimming and diving program brought home its second-straight NCAA title last week and is now allowing its athletes to bask in the glory of such an accomplishment. “[The swimmers and divers] have time off now to kind of go enjoy the win and refocus,” assistant coach Stefanie Williams said. “But we’ll start back training soon because we have a big summer coming up. Next year it’ll be a new team, new freshman class and new senior leadership.” Beyond the addition to the national championship banners that hangs in Gabrielsen Natatorium is a sense of personal accomplishment and selfworth for the female swimmers and divers. Senior diver Laura Ryan, who won two individual national championship crowns this year, grew up practicing at the very pool the NCAA meet was held in at Minneapolis. “For me, being back in my home pool and winning my first two individual national titles was more than I could have ever asked for,” Ryan said. “To do it in front of all my friends and family, to make them proud of me, is indescribable.” Freshman swimmer Olivia Smoliga agreed that the crowd had a lot to do with her sense of accomplishment. “Seeing our parents up there, and seeing an entire section of red for Georgia, was really exciting,” Smoliga said. “And jumping into the pool was just the coolest thing. I mean we got a little bit of a taste of it at SECs, but it was pretty cool to do it on a national stage as well.” For most, winning a national championship title in any sport is just a far-off fantasy. But if an athlete is one of the successful few, the memory flies to the top as one of the greatest accomplishments of their young lives.

Georgia women’s swimming and diving sent 17 Lady Bulldogs to NCAAs, including junior Jordan Mattern (above), to bring home the teams sixth national championship and second in as many years. RANDY SCHAFER/Staff “I definitely think this is the highest part of my career so far,” Ryan said. “This is the best sports memory I think I’ll ever have, and I’m so excited to have been able to do it with this group of girls.” Having a full roster was advantageous for the Lady Dogs, and played a large part in making the win happen. “We came in with a full roster, and no one else did,” Smoliga said. “Not even Cal or Stanford. Every single person counted. We had so much manpower — well, womanpower. So it was definitely a really good memory.” The victory wasn’t all sweet, however. Georgia head coach Jack Bauerle was not in attendance for the team’s win as he has been suspended since Jan.

4 due to an academic eligibility issue with sophomore swimmer Chase Kalisz. The bittersweet feelings continue as UGA will be losing some of its top competitors. Some of the highest point-scorers at NCAAs were seniors Shannon Vreeland, Melanie Margalis and Ryan. “It’ll be hard to lose our seniors this year,” Williams said. “It’s always hard. We lost Megan [Romano] and Allison [Schmitt] last year and people didn’t think we were going to be able to win this year because of it. Our seniors at the meet will be hard to replace, but we have a phenomenal group of incoming freshman that will fall into place. Then it’ll kind of be business as usual in Georgia swimming and diving.”

Football notebook: Mark Richt talks discipline BY CODY PACE @CodyPace Georgia head coach Mark Richt is still staying mostly quiet about the fates of the four players arrested for theft by deception on March 17. Safety Tray Matthews, defensive end James DeLoach, receiver Uriah LeMay and defensive lineman Jon Taylor have all continued to participate in spring practices. Richt did, however, divulge that some punishment for the players has already begun. “There’s some happening right now, just some earlymorning running and things of that nature,” Richt said. He also wouldn’t rule out the possibility of dismissing the players from the team and promised that, “There’s more to come.” “I wouldn’t put anything out of the realm of possibility right now,” Richt said. “Right now, we’re just allowing them to continue to work.” A couple of other players, sophomore corner Shaq Wiggins and junior receiver Justin Scott-Wesley, still have pending legal issues. In January, Wiggins was arrested for speeding and driving with a suspended license. However, Richt said that no further punishment would be doled out.

Cold, windy weather makes for tough practice In their second day in pads, Georgia players got their first taste at some real contact in special three-on-three drills. The players were excited to hit because, if nothing else, the moving around was enough to keep them warm with the cold and strong wind that plagued the practice field on Tuesday. “The first time you tackle in the spring, it usually gets everybody’s blood pumping and it did, it kind of kept their blood pumping throughout the day,” Richt said. “I was really pleased with the energy in it. It probably had a little something to do with it being a little cold and windy; everybody just wanted to keep moving.”

However, it was no doubt that the weather wreaked havoc on the practice field, especially for the quarterbacks who had their passes knocked all over the field. “Before it was over we completed a few,” Richt said. “We were just about ready to give them a positive grade just for throwing it to the right guy because the ball was getting blown all over the place.” The wind was so bad that Richt joked he considered attempting an 80-yard field goal. “The problem was it would have had to have been from one field to the other because that’s the way the wind was blowing,” Richt said. Spring evaluations a process Spring football is a time for evaluations. A lot of teams get the chance to evaluate players and

early enrollees. However, Georgia has just one in freshman quarterback Jacob Park. That being said, with a new defensive staff and changes in the system, there’s plenty of room for evaluating and reevaluating players who have already graced the depth chart. “By Monday after the scrimmage I’ll be asking for every coach to tell me what he thinks of each guy,” Richt said. “Right now we’re just practicing. You’d be shocked at the amount of film there is to watch. You’re practicing, you’re watching that film, you’re showing that film to your players, you’re getting ready to install the next day because you’re always kind of moving forward with installation and it’s just busy as heck.” Until Georgia’s first scrimmage, which is scheduled for Saturday, day-to-day evaluations result in small changes in who practices with what team, but no drastic decisions about the depth chart are made. The Bulldogs’ roster features several positions that are up for grabs, especially on the offensive line Kolton Houston is one guy fighting for a spot on the offensive line and for his first chance to be an every-game starter. Richt said that what he’s seen from Houston has been good and that “he’s stronger than he’s been in a while.” However, he did say that an illness last week knocked Houston down to around 280 pounds and he expects his playing weight to be closer to 290 or 295 pounds.

TIME: Athletes in financial time crunch ➤ From Page B1 For both of those jobs, a majority of employees are students. “We’ve got about 50 full-time employees and about 200 student employees,” Ronald Hamlin, transit manager for UGA campus transit, said. “So roughly 80 percent [are student-employees.]” Those work practices can be compared to NCAA regulations on athletic participation. During a sport’s season, the team is allowed to practice up to four hours per day and up to 20 hours a week with a required one day off per week. For the sake of generalizing, the NCAA counts a game, meet, match or event as three hours of competition. In the offseason, teams are only allowed to meet for eight hours a week with the same maximum of four hours per day. The rules mandate two off days per week in the offseason. “We’ve got a 20-hour rule of time that is countable, which is film study, strength and conditioning, practice,” Georgia head football coach Mark Richt said prior to the ruling in favor of unionizing Northwestern’s football players. “The things that don’t count is when you’re in the training room before and after or any kind of film work that they do on their own … There’s a lot of hours that are put in and it’s pretty amazing for them to do that and then do other things that they’ve got to do.” By university standards, in-season athletes by sheer volume of time spent practicing and participating could qualify as part-time employees. However, the comparison between athletic “jobs” and non-athletic jobs becomes murkier from there. The most obvious difference between the athletics and campus jobs is the fact that many student-athletes are given scholarship money and perks like tutoring services as reimbursement for their services done for the university. Athletes, however, are held to a higher standard to retain their “jobs” then are student employees on campus. According to NCAA compliance regulations, student-athletes must take a certain number of credit hours per semester and must have completed said credit hours by certain landmark times with qualifying grade point averages to remain eligible. “They’re not just going to class,” Richt said. “They’re going to study halls and tutoring and sometimes they’re spending time with other students on a class project or whatever it is. They don’t have a lot of free time.” On the other hand, to work for campus transit as a part-time employee, one must simply be enrolled in classes. “We don’t have the freedom or flexibility to allow them to maintain employment if they’re not in class,” Hamlin said. “So our focus on our part-time employees is to put the money back into the student population, because they’re funding the operation. We have the flexibility to, if we so choose, just hire a bunch of part-timers from the general population and train them and put them on the buses, but we feel an obligation to the students to keep them employed.”

UNION: College football players lack a voice in decisions on medical, monetary benefits ➤ From Page A1 Challenging the model The general consensus before the NLRB ruling was that it didn’t stand much of a chance. Professor of Law at Duke University Paul Haagen said before the ruling that classifying any college athlete as an employee would be a stretch. “They don’t look like any other employee,” Haagen said. “It’s part of an education program. They’re students, they’re full-time students. To the degree that they look like anybody else, they would sort of like a graduate teaching assistant or something like that so they don’t neatly fall into an employment category.” Colter’s challenge was much more about a voice than a union. However, unionizing would provide certain guarantees that haven’t always been there. “If you come under federal labor law and you are a union, then the employer, the university, has to negotiate with you on wages, hours and conditions of work,” Haagen said. “In order to keep from violating federal law, the university would have to negotiate.” CAPA has outlined several issues that they feel like have not been appropriately addressed from the players perspective by the NCAA. Their issues are mostly related to health and well-being, including guaranteed coverage for sportsrelated medical expenses for current and former players and improving graduation rates. “[Athletes] don’t have a ton of time to do things for their school work and they feel like they’re really missing out on the student-athlete of their student experience,” Georgia senior receiver Chris Conley said. “Another thing is health, concussions, in all sports, and also the way that universities handle a student-athlete who was injured during their time as a student-athlete.” Players have been mostly shut out of the official conversations on matters that affect them. In a way, legal action was a last-ditch effort to be heard. Conley serves on the national Student Athlete Advisory Committee, which is one way that student athletes can voice themselves’ yet, not all athletes are aware of their options. “That’s the tragedy, that’s the issue that we face. There are outlets and there are ways to have your opinion and your voices heard and to get change and the ball rolling,” Conley said. “A lot of studentathletes don’t know how to go about that. So it’s not terrible that they reach out ... but it will be good if they knew how to act with some of the stuff that we have in place as well.” Conley also pointed out that while unionization would provide its benefits, there would also be drawbacks. “When you become an employee, there’s a bunch of things that are added to your plate — taxation, mandatory hours,” Conley said. “You lose a lot of say in what you can do.” Money matters While all of these things have been among the conversations of student-athletes seeking reform, the opposition has focused mostly on the money issues: scholarships, cost-of-attendance stipends, pay for play, etc. The current model of college football could not afford to pay players and would have difficulty even supporting a stipend that reim-

burses players for the full cost of attendance. The latter, a stipend, has been kicked around in NCAA meetings and would compensate for the “difference between what the full grant in aid provided and what the cost of attendance [is],” Georgia Athletic Association Professor in Law David Shipley said. The concern with that is how smaller Division I schools would keep up since so few athletic programs are profitable. Paying players would create even more financial strain on those programs. “College sports programs are funded somewhere around 70 percent probably by college football … probably 20 percent by college basketball and 10 percent by student fees if I were to guess spread over the whole country,” said Jeffrey Dorfman, a professor in the department of agricultural and applied economics. “Running the football program’s expensive, all the other programs, the non-revenue sports still cost

money, so across the whole country there’s only about 20 colleges that actually aren’t losing money on their college sports programs.” That strikes down one of the bigger arguments by players, that they are bringing in the profit and deserve a cut of it. Dorfman takes exception to that argument regardless. As he wrote in his March 20 column on Forbes.com, Dorfman argues that the revenue in college athletics isn’t strongly tied to the players on the field. “While the students like to think that they’re generating all this money, the reality is most of the money comes from really long TV contracts,” Dorfman said. “So the SEC just signed a new TV deal, it goes for 20 years which means 20 years from now we’ll be collecting millions of dollars a year off a contract that was signed before the players that are then playing were born...” Dorfman also makes the argument that even under the current system, players are adequately compen-

sated. “I would contend they essentially are paid because they get, certainly in football and basketball, both men’s and women’s, they’re … almost all on scholarship so they’re getting tuition, room and board, they get coaching, they get the training staff, they get some nutritional support, they get medical care if they need it, they get promotion,” he said. According to Dorfman, totaling the value of what athletes are provided on top of their scholarship, student-athletes make between $20-50 an hour. “When you go on bare bones … of what a student athlete gets from their sport, it doesn’t cover what it really costs to go to that university,” Conley said. “I don’t think it’s so much of an issue of paying athletes as much as athletes who don’t have the resources to go to the school that they’re at or don’t have the resources to go to that school and really enjoy their college years.”

The ‘What-if’ game Even with the victory, this isn’t the last anyone will hear of CAPA and players’ rights. This victory could potentially open the door for future lawsuits. “As the cultural understanding changes and the political understanding changes, it could be that the current organization of intercollegiate sport … will be increasingly subject to a series of legal challenges,” Haagen said. With the potential for this issue to continue, it raises questions of what might happen if a group of players do win a legal battle down the road. If the players do win at the federal level, how much could they be paid? The Kessler lawsuit has tasked itself with striking down the NCAA restrictions that prevent athletes from, “being fairly compensated for the billions of dollars in revenues that they help generate,” as Kessler told ESPN. The problem is that

nobody can identify where that stops. As Dorfman claims, “If it was wrong for the cap to be 0, it’s wrong for the cap to be 10,000.” Essentially, his argument is that if a player’s services are worth something, capping that value is just as wrong at $0 as $10,000 if someone is willing to pay more. If uncapped spending became the future model, there would be nothing stopping school boosters from funneling enough money to create a small group of powerhouse schools. At this point, there are still more questions than answers. In the end, any change will be either the product of a compromise on both sides, or it will continue to be battled out in the courtroom. “In general, there is much more, a wildly increasing level of questioning about the organization of intercollegiate athletics,” Haagen said. “If it changes, we will introduce a new kind of group of instabilities and what would come next is actually very hard to predict.”

‘Walking Dead’ actor to visit UGA BY COURTNEY WILLETT @courtney_say A Hershel is coming to UGA, but as fans of "The Walking Dead" know, it's a good thing he's not a walker. Scott Wilson, popularly known as Hershel Greene from AMC’s hit TV show, will visit the University of Georgia Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications from March 31- April 2. “[The University of Georgia] invited me back to talk to some of the classes,” Wilson said. “I’m from Georgia, and I think it’ll be fun.” Wilson will be attending two screenings of his works as well as speaking to acting, writing and new media classes. Grady’s Hearst Foundation is supporting this program and sponsoring Wilson as a visiting professional in an effort to bring media leaders to UGA. “It’ll be interesting for me to see how it unfolds,” Wilson said. “I’ve been acting for a long time. I left Georgia when I was 19 and started acting in California. All of the sudden I’m in Georgia

Scott Wilson will speak and attend film screenings during his visit to Athens. Courtesy Gage Skidmore again, incidentally where ‘The Walking Dead’ is filmed. Maybe I learned something along the way and I’ll be able to pass it on, who knows? I’m excited to be going there.” Wilson first debuts at Tate on Monday night for a screening of episode 405 of “The Walking Dead.” Although Wilson is a seasoned actor with several years of experience with performances on “The X-Files,” “The Twilight Zone” and “Justified,” students will mainly recognize him from “The Walking Dead.” Wilson will then be

at Ciné on Tuesday night for a screening of his second film “In Cold Blood.” Both screenings will be followed by question and answer sessions with Wilson and Nathaniel Kohn, Grady professor and associate director of the Peabody Awards. “He’s going to be meeting with one of our new media classes. We’re going to discuss the explosion of social media, like Facebook and Twitter, and what happened when his character was unceremoniously beheaded before Christmas,” Kohn said. “He’s meeting with my class, which is a screenwriting class to talk about how actor interpret the written word. He’s meeting over in the Drama and Film Studies Department in Franklin with the advanced acting class. There will be other opportunities for him to meet with students that we have set to set up.” The Hearst Foundation aims to produce more opportunities like this to create a learning environment that is interesting, relatable and educational. “What we’re trying to do at Grady is foster as many interactions as we can between students and working industry professionals,” Kohn said. “The more people who are working in film, television and media who the students can interact with, the more the industry is demystified for our students and the more they understand the process and how the industry works.” Wilson’s short stay at UGA will help broaden students’ understanding of their prospective careers, all while watching people hunt zombies.

Group offers community, support to grieving students BY JOE YOUORSKI @jyouorski The loss of a friend or family member is a tough obstacle to overcome, but help from peers in similar situations can be a huge boost. Actively Moving Forward looks to fill that need. “On some level, this is something that affects everyone,” said Page Walker, president of Actively Moving Forward and a senior mass media arts major from Albany. UGA’s Actively Moving Forward chapter, typically abbreviated as AMF, was started by Walker and a group of other students in 2010. Walker had dealt with the loss of her mother in 2008 and wanted to help other students who had been through a similar situation. “It had a profound impact on me, especially coming into college,” Walker said. “I wanted to create a group where people could find a place where they wouldn’t feel so alone.” The group puts on biweekly support groups at Nuçi’s Space to aid their members, finding that a space off campus is more neutral for the students involved and makes it easier for them to open up. The support groups are light and casual. Students are not forced to talk and the meetings are filled with activities to help the participants deal with grief. “No one is expected to do or say anything when they go,” said

Nicole Kenning, next semester’s co-president and a freshman criminal justice major from Lawrenceville. “It’s a really comfortable place to be.” AMF chapters often raise money for other non-profit organizations, finding that service and community work aids students in getting past their grief. “I think that if you’re empowering yourself for something that’s more than just you, sometimes it takes you out of your own grief,” Walker said. “It definitely does that for me.” AMF is raising money for Relay for Life, with a percentage night recently taking place at Troubadour Pub and Grill and Ben and Jerry’s. AMF will also be in Tate Plaza on April 23, offering free hugs in honor of National Grief Awareness Day and selling bracelets to raise money for Nuçi’s Space. The group has 15 active members and each support group usually has about six or seven people attend. As the group exists to help members deal with grief, the members change frequently as students deal with their grief at different paces. “Grief is something that ebbs and flows,” Walker said. “So we don’t always have the same members every single week.” AMF’s future goals include expanding the organization with more visible marketing, allowing it to reach out to more members of the student body.

UGA AMF WHEN: Every other Thursday, 8 p.m. WHERE: Nuçi's Space

“We are a really small organization and I know it could be a lot bigger,” Kenning said. “There are a ton of people at UGA who have had a loss and could really benefit from it.” The small organization has already had a profound effect on the students involved, and expansion would only build AMF up more as a comfortable place for students. Karenna Wery, a sophomore theater and English major from California, feels AMF offers students one of the few environments on campus where they can speak completely freely about how they feel. “Whoever wants to speak has the right to speak in a completely safe environment,” Wery said. “No one’s going to spread the word around. It’s a completely safe place to talk about what you’re feeling.” Whether it’s through aiding their fellow members in supports groups or rallying for beneficial causes, AMF helps students through a sense of friendship and shared experience. “I think helping other people is the greatest way to help yourself,” Wery said.

Panamanian community offers tropical internships BY ALEX EVERHART @alexbeverhart University alumni are working to build a sustainable community in the mountains of Panama. Hodges Berry, graduating class of 2013, is interning about an hour-and-a-half in the jungle of Panama in the Kalu Yala Entrepreneurial Internship Program. Kalu Yala is a new community that is in the process of creating a completely sustainable village based on the ideas of urbanism architecture, organic food, wellness, recreation, education, preservation and conservation of the natural environment. The program is located in the rainforest highlands of Central Panama in a 7,000acre valley, which backs up to the Chagres National Park. Berry is in the Outdoor Recreation Program working to maintain the main park as well as individually creating a mountain board terrain/ downhill course in the jungle. Berry recently graduated in December with a major in anthropology and minor in ecology. “The program drew me in as I wanted to work firsthand with a sustainable development model, gain experience in that, and move forward in sustainable surf tourism and development,” Berry said. Interns stay for 11 weeks while they work on both group and individual projects. There are seven different programs based on agriculture, biology, business development, community outreach/education, culinary

arts, health and wellness as well as outdoor recreation. “It’s an off-the-grid study abroad program,” said Kate Stewart, president of the Kalu Yala Entrepreneurial Internships. Stewart has worked with the program since its start in 2010. The program has seen 31 UGA students over the years work to create amazing projects that will develop the future community. Interns have come from 16 countries, 44 states, and 132 colleges since 2010. The students are isolated and work most of the day on individual and group projects. Berry said there are three other interns and five directors that stay in the jungle full time where he is located. He sleeps in a hammock every night underneath structures built and modeled after the indigenous people of Panama. Berry spends four hours per day working with the Outdoor Recreation Director, Zac Bron, to maintain the parks and hiking trails. The rest of the day he spends experimenting and creating his terrain course. “There are always other opportunities to help out and work, such as building ladders out of bamboo, planting plantains or herb gardens, exploring a new area for useful flora, or creating and implementing your own idea into the town,” Berry said. Berry, along with other interns, presents his ideas to program directors, who in turn give each intern a budget to create practically any project. Budgets can range anywhere from $500 to

The Kalu Yala Entrepreneurial Internship Program allows students to gain experience in many areas by letting them to choose their projects, funded by the program's directors. Courtesy Kalu Yala upward of $3,000. “The internship is a study abroad, but based on what students are interested in,” Stewart said. The program has three venues for interns to gain experience in a multitude of educational categories. One is focused on creating the town’s foundation in Kalu Yala. The two other available venues help others to establish relationships with the neighboring town of San Miguel and the third is working to learn business logistics in Panama City. Stewart says the entire community will be based on the concept of walkability similar to towns in the United States, such as Seaside, Fla. The program started with Stewart’s brother, Jimmy Stice, CEO of Kalu

Yala. Their father, a traditional real estate investor, was looking to invest in land when they stumbled upon the breathtaking area of Panama. Stewart said Panama was a great opportunity because it is a global importance, the road systems are established and land was available. Stice convinced his father to send him to Panama to search for land. Soon enough he was certain the land was perfect and plans started rolling. Stice graduated from the Terry School of Business in 2004 and is now overseeing the Kalu Yala programs. Kalu Yala has worked with multiple investors to create the sustainable community and hopes to create a successful area. “We are hoping that we

are going to be a model for other programs in the future,” Stewart said. Construction on Kalu Yala will begin this year, averaging around 20 houses per year. Stores, restaurants and even a mile-long zip line will be up and running by the end of the year. “Our goal for first year is to create a unique experience combined with what Kalu Yala already offers,”said Marie Stringer, owner of Tropical Treetops zip line company. Stringer also graduated from UGA in 2009 with a degree in natural resources recreation in tourism. “My experience has been delightful, because of the enjoyment I’ve received from putting my ideas into action and physically seeing the help and changes I’ve made to the future community,” Berry said.

SoMo makes leap from YouTube to Georgia Theatre BY ANDREW PLASKOWSKY @aplaskowsky Fans of SoMo and his YouTube replay button may soon be able to listen to a live playlist. Joseph SomersMorales, known professionally as SoMo, is an R&B singer-songwriter who will make his Athens debut at the Georgia Theatre this Thursday. Born in Austin, Texas, Somers-Morales was exposed to a variety of genres and artists as a kid because his father was in the band Duck Soup and was a music instructor. While pursuing music wasn’t his initial plan, a piano he received from his mother in 2008 left an indelible impression on him. “Music, for me, is just the one true thing that makes me happy,” Somers-Morales said. “When I sing or I’m in the studio I get a feeling I can’t really explain. It was an easy transition to start pursuing it when people decided began giving me their feedback.” A year later, he began uploading song covers to YouTube. The covers grabbed the attention of viewers worldwide helping him to amass more than 80 million views on his channel. Even today, he still has a weekly series titled “SoMo Sunday” where he uploads a new cover or original. “Artists always do covers, but a lot of people miss the point when they see people doing covers. People

R&B singer SoMo, a YouTube sensation, will be playing his first show at the Georgia Theatre with support from the local DJ Dark Knight. Courtesy SoMo think they can only do covers,” SomersMorales said. In 2013, he independently released his mixtape “My Life” before going out on a fall tour. While the original plan was to release his debut album independently before the tour, offers from labels delayed the release to allow the proper promotion of his material. He ultimately chose to sign to Republic Records but wants fans to know his music hasn't changed. “I’m not the story you hear where people sign and have to change to what the label wants. Other labels offered double the money, but it’s

about the music. Money will come later if you do what you love with a passion,” Somers-Morales said. Holding off proved to be in his favor with his debut single on the cusp of platinum certification and a self-titled album due to be released in less than two weeks on April 8. “This album is my major label debut, so I want it to reach worldwide,” he said. As SoMo prepares to set out on another tour, not much has changed. In fact this spring tour is giving him the opportunity to see the reach of his music in places he didn’t stop at on the fall tour. “The spring is for
