Food, fields, facilities open in time for fall classes at UGA The University of Georgia saw its best year in campus development funding in 2014, and it shows with the various projects UGA is undertaking. Students will be able to see some of the finished products as early as this fall, with estimated times of completion for others in 2015 and 2016. — Compiled by Brad Mannion Veterinary Teaching Hospital The new Veterinary Teaching Hospital at UGA is reaching its final few months of construction, as the estimated time of completion is January 2015. The facility will perform the same functions as the previous hospital, but at three times the size. “[The center will be used for] primarily teaching and all activities related to taking care of animal patients,” said Gary Baxter in a previous Red & Black article. “The new facility will be nearly 300,000 square feet, but this includes classrooms, labs, and other teaching spaces as well as the hospital.” The teaching hopsital is expected to house a caseload of more than 20,000 patients, Baxter said. Early estimates for the total cost were around $99 million, with construction costs at approximately $78 million. Herty Field From a parking lot to an ideal north campus study spot, Herty Field is facing another rennovation after years of soil trouble underneath its grass. “For years, it got so compacted, it would never take water ... and would never keep a good turf on it,” said UGA landscape manager Mike Orr. “What we did was engage a firm to come in and take off several layers of old soil and put in what is referred to as an athletic soil mix — it’s much more porous, it allows more drainage and it doesn’t compact as hard, so roots stay more viable and can get down and stay more healthy. It should be much better than it has been in years past.” Herty Field’s rennovation is a push for more sustainable efforts at UGA, Orr said. “We’re always trying to do things with a green and sustainable idea,” he said. “We try to make things as safe and sustainable as we possibly can. A lot of parking lots have been cut out and green spaces have been added.” Renovations will be finished by the first day of classes, Orr said. Bolton Dining Commons Sunday dinners in dining halls at UGA were unheard of, but with the completion of the new Bolton Dining Commons, that dream can become a

reality. Bolton, which will be on the corner of Lumpkin and Baxter streets is expected to open for the beginning of the fall 2014 semester and it will feature several aspects that other dining halls do not have. “One interesting thing is that this is going to be a two-story dining facility,” Michael Floyd, associate vice president for auxiliary services, said in a previous Red & Black article. “What we’ve done in the design of this building is that we actually have food concepts on both floors. On the first floor, there’s going to be a bakery area that will have sweets and those types of things. There’s also a large vegetarian menu and a main line menu. Upstairs will be a pancake breakfast concept — we’ll be featuring different types of pancakes and syrups.” Cayman Bell, a senior history and anthropology major from Woodstock, said the dining hall is something he does not want to miss, despite his decision not to have meal plan this year. Construction began in the summer of 2013, and has since caused several road closures. But Floyd said most of the closures occurred during the summertime. Science Learning Center In the earliest stages of the construction projects, UGA’s Science Learning Center began construction this summer, following the approval of funds needed for construction in March. The Georgia General Assembly approved $44.7 million toward the construction of the 122,500-square-foot facility — one UGA President Jere Morehead called his “top priority.” “I am grateful that the General Assembly recognized the significant impact that the Science Learning Center will have in addressing the critical need for additional science teaching labs at UGA,” Morehead said in a UGA Today news release. “On behalf of the university, I am sincerely appreciative to the chancellor and board of regents for approving the project, the governor for including it in his capital priorities, and the lieutenant governor, speaker, General Assembly leadership and members of the local delegation for supporting it,” he said.

Special institution fee raises questions BY BRAD MANNION @bradcrumbs Tuition across the state will increase for the 2014-2015 school year, and student fees will also see an increase. For some of the fees, an increase would make sense, including the push to raise the green fee by $1 in 2013. “A very modest increase from $3 to $4 would increase the allocation to sustainability projects by 77.8 percent,” according to the proposal submitted to increase the fee. But for Alec Shepherd, one fee should not even exist, let alone increase. “I’m on a scholarship, so my
tuition is covered,” said Shepherd, a graduate student studying agri-business. “But we have to cover all the fees. I was looking at the total amount of fees and saw there was one — the special institution fee — that was $450, which I thought was pretty absurd.” Shepherd said this fee, which makes up approximately 40 percent of total fees, was a tool used to help during the tough economic times. “It all started as a one-time special fee ... and now it’s still around, unfortunately,” he said. And UGA’s Athens campus is not alone — every other UGA campus around Georgia has the
$450, despite other lower fees. But Shepherd said the Bursar’s Office did little to explain what the fee entailed, with the exception of its website saying the fee can be waived if a student is enrolled in less than five credit hours. “They said that fee basically covers any budget shortfalls from the state of Georgia,” he said. “That was all the explanation they would give me. Before I even emailed them, I googled it to try and figure out what it was for, and I didn’t find anything.” A staff member of the Bursar’s Office was unable to be reached for comment as of press time.
Students discuss top 5 introductory classes at UGA FINA 3000: Financial Management

“I think that a familiarity with finance concepts serves as a valuable tool to any student looking to pursue a career in business, or any career that overlaps with or requires an understanding of the financial markets,” said Quinn Rogness, a junior finance major from Lawrenceville. “Understanding valuation and the cost of capital are valuable concepts that anyone can use in business and an understanding of the financial markets can aid anyone working for the government or a non-profit, even if they are not in a finance role.”
COMM 1100: Introduction to Public Speaking “I believe that communication classes are absolutely useful, if not crucial, in preparing for the workforce. No matter what field a person enters, he/she will always have to communicate, and effective communication can easily make or break a situation,” said Abbey Miner, a junior communications major from Alpharetta. “From presenting research at a conference to using interpersonal techniques ... these skills are invaluable to every person’s future. The great part about this field is that it is so multifaceted, students from all majors can find a communication course that will benefit their futures.”

“Everyone should take a class in history because it offers context for events happening in the world today,” said Emily Couch, a history major from Johns Creek. “A great history teacher will connect the past with the present.”
SOCI 1101: Introduction to Sociology “Well, even if it seems irrelevant, sociology is the study of social behaviors and it intersects with a lot of other disciplines like anthropology, economics and political science. Within the sociology courses offered there is definitely something for everyone,” said Claudia Perez, a sociology graduate student from Marietta. “That being said, most people have opinions on these matters and could enjoy a semester studying something seemingly unrelated to their major. Personally, I feel that sociology has really benefited my ability to understand people better and that’s something we could all take away.”
“Learning to program forces you to develop the ability to break down complex problems into something more comprehensible,” said Jaicob Stewart, a junior computer science major from Newnan. “Computing will ... become more and more integrated in every aspect of our lives, and with that we should have some level of knowledge about what they are actually doing.”

t’s that time of year again. You know, the time where everyone and their mama — and daddy and little brothers and older sisters, maybe even aunts and uncles and grandparents — flood Athens to see their little angels off to college, some for the first time, some for the last time. Streets are packed with U-hauls and minivans overstuffed with students’ entire lives. Parents drag their newly christened college freshmen through the aisles of Target, Walmart and Kroger to make sure they have enough food to live off of for the next six months (which will likely still be there when they move out in May thanks to the all-you-can-eat meal plan) and a dry erase board so people can leave messages on their dorm doors (but it will likely just house a photo from Workaholics and penis doodles like mine did). Much younger siblings cry as they haven’t eaten since leaving home that morning and their parents don’t have time to find the local McDonalds between waiting for the elevator to the last floor of the high-rises. But it’s also the time when those who have been here the whole summer, or more broadly, the townies who live here yearround regardless of the academic calendar, cower in their homes and stock up on groceries two weeks in advance as if another snowpocalypse was coming. I like to think they call it the studentpocalypse. Or consider grocery shopping as some modern day 300 scene — except it would be more like 30,000. With the town brimming to the top with people — each one having an emotional, stressful and busy day — Athens is already holding all of the drama it can take. The best way to make this a painless experience for all is to keep your head down, your mind and actions focused, and be respectful to all around you. Don’t do anything superfluous on move-in day. Just buy your necessities, you’ll have a few days before classes start to find a friend with a car to take you to the store for coffee and popcorn. Only bring the necessary family members along and save emotional goodbyes for the appropriate places, like your room or outside. Remember that everyone else is moving in too when deciding if your five-pound box of desk supplies qualifies you for a ride in the elevator while someone else is hauling a futon. And last, but not least, remember that Athens exists even when you’re not living here, so be respectful of those that live here year-round — and more importantly — those working at the places you visit while moving in. It’s a hectic day, or few weeks really, so let’s all work together to make the transition back into the school year as easy as possible. — Jana French for the editorial board

ike cops, stumbling college kids and the unmistakeable scent of alcohol in the air. It’s just another typical weekend in downtown Athens. What’s not typical about this scene is the seemingly endless amount of alcohol-related arrests, assaults, sexual crimes and ambulance calls that surface to keep up with the ever-growing issue of alcohol abuse. The federal government passed the National Minimum Age Drinking Act 30 years ago, and after three decades of creating a culture of clandestine binge drinking by the nation’s youth, this outdated legislation is long overdue for a second look. At the international level, the U.S. is in the minority as one of the only countries in the world that enforces a drinking age higher than 18. Years of prohibition have given underage drinking its taboo allure amongst teenagers and young adults who view alcohol as a forbidden fruit. Uneducated about the dangers of binge drinking, rebellious teenagers unknowingly abuse alcohol, and every year, we continue to hear stories of tragic endings as a result of alcohol abuse. In 2009, Morris Chafetz, who was assigned to President Reagan’s alcohol reform commission in 1982, wrote an article titled, “The 21-Year-Old Drinking Age: I Voted for It; It Doesn’t Work.” “It is the single most regrettable decision of my entire professional career,” Chafetz said. “The 600,000 assaults reported annually, the date rapes, the property damage, the emergency room calls … They are the inevitable result of what happens when laws do not reflect social or cultural reality.”

Unfortunately, that is exactly what is occurring today. The National Minimum Age Drinking Act fails to reflect the reality of life on college campuses. Like it or not, drinking alcohol is part of the college culture — always has been and always will be. Attempts to curtail the flow of alcohol onto college campuses are futile and fail to teach students responsible ways to integrate alcohol into their lives. As history has shown, prohibition never works, but instead encourages a culture of underground, illicit activities. Instead of being allowed to enjoy alcohol in a controlled, public setting, college students nationwide choose to hold underground parties to drink as much as possible before attending social events (a practice known as “pre-gaming”). This practice, unusual in other parts of the world, has detrimental health effects and in extreme cases, can lead to alcohol poisoning. The problem is that many American teenagers never learn to drink responsibly. In most European cultures, children are taught at a young age to respect alcohol and they are slowly introduced to the intoxicating beverage in miniscule amounts at family feasts. Many American students will experience alcohol for the first time in college, and it is a bad policy to expect first-time drinkers to be able to control their alcohol consumption. Self-control is learned over a lifetime,

Checking In
In my experiences, there are two types of people — those that come early and those that come after lunch. It really doesn’t matter what time you show up, there’s going to be a process. Please, for the love of all things, do not wheel in all of your luggage, furniture and storage cubes when you first start to check-in. You have to get your keys, meet your RA and then go see your room for the first time. You have no idea where anything is going before seeing it. I promise, no matter how many times you’ve scoured over the floor plans, things are going to be different than your mental picture. All in all, just remember that it’s a hot, long day and that everyone is going to be exhausted by the end of it. Keep the quips and snide comments about this, that and the other to yourself.
position because Housing knows they’re going to genuinely take your existence and well-being seriously. Go to their programs. It takes you 15 minutes of your life and it will make their jobs a lot easier. Remember — being an RA is a job. We have bosses. We have expectations. We have requirements. And it sucks when they have to tell their bosses that not a single resident showed up to a program that they put a lot of effort into. Also, your RA is going to be understanding of the fact that you’re in college now. We were freshmen too. I warn you, and heed my warning, waking your RA up due to idiotic shenanigans will result in the waking of a terrifying beast the size of which you have never seen. There will be yelling. There will be reports filed. There may even be police called if you’re doing something really dumb.

perature of the room. That, in my experience, has been one of the biggest points of contention. I know a lot of people go on the first come, first serve basis, but if you want the window space or want to divide the room in a certain way, talk about it ahead of time. It’s better to learn about communication and compromise before moving in rather than during the first month after the honeymoon phase has worn off. You’re going to be sharing the space with another person for 10 months, so if it’s not comfortable, you’re going to despise everything. 4.

not overnight, and letting a student try alcohol for the first time at college is like locking an unsupervised kid in a candy shop. Preventing underage drinking is virtually impossible, and it is time to consider more effective means of reducing alcohol related deaths and injuries on college campuses. One of the most important things that we can do is to follow the international model and begin alcohol education at an early age, not at the last minute before college orientation. “About four out of five college students drink alcohol” and “about half of college students who drink, also consume alcohol through binge drinking,” according to a college drinking study published by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Each year, “an estimated 1,825 college students” will die from alcohol-related injuries and another “estimated 599,000 students” are injured while under the influence of alcohol. These sobering statistics highlight just how fruitless it is to try and force young adults to not consume alcohol. It will not happen overnight, but through sensible legislation and reform efforts, the country can effectively eliminate many of the dangers associated with alcohol and create a safer, more enjoyable college experience for students nationwide. A combination of education, policy reform and a culture of acceptance may be the only way to prevent future alcohol-related tragedies.

To risk sounding like Yoda: annoyance leads to anger; anger leads to spite; spite leads to the dark side. 5.

Tips for your freshman year
C
hoosing a major Selecting the right major is a daunting task. The major that you choose will likely decide what courses you take for the next four years and what career path you will follow. It is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life, but luckily, it does not have to be a stressful one. Before you make any life-changing decisions, you need to sit down and ask yourself a few things. First, ask yourself the basics, like what are your strengthens and weaknesses, what are your interests, what are you passionate about and can you see yourself doing a particular job for the rest of your life? Next, you need to find out what you want out of your career. Do you only care about the size of the paycheck, or do you want to do something that you love? One thing that I cannot stress enough is the importance of being proactive. Your friends, your family and your advisor can help you, but only you can make the final call. Before you can figure out what you want to major in, you need to figure out who you are as a person. Join clubs, sign up for student government, volunteer at a shelter, meet new people, see new things, do whatever you need to find the thing that makes you tick. You can learn a lot of important lessons in the classroom, but it is the time outside of the classroom that will define who you are. Realistically, you will change your major at least once. Despite what some people might say, changing your major is perfectly acceptable and normal. Don’t ever let anyone, especially your parents, make the decision for you. This is your decision and it may seem like a frightening thought, but it will likely shape the way you live the rest of your life. So don’t rush the decision and make sure you are making your choice for the right reasons, not because your family forced you. Lastly, don’t waste your first year at UGA constantly stressing over what you are going to do for the rest of your life — that’s what the next three years are for. Adjusting to college life The typical college freshman is awkward, confused and very lost. He

or she has been recently dropped off by their parents and thrown into a new city with new people. Full of questions but lacking answers, most freshman will remain in this awkward, lost phase for most of their first year. But don’t worry, this does not have to be you! One of the first things that you need to do is figure out your new environment. UGA has a huge campus and it is easy to get lost if you don’t know your way around. Getting lost on your way to class is a typical mistake that freshman make every year. These unlucky students are easily identified by the unmistakable looks of confusion and hopelessness on their face. Others will accidently get on the wrong bus and end up miles away from their intended destinations. Avoid making these common freshman mistakes by taking the time to get to know your way around campus. One of the best things you can do is to branch out and make new friends. One of the worst things you can do is cling to your high school friends. You don’t necessarily have to cut off all ties with your old friends, but getting out of your comfort zone and meeting new people is an absolute must. Most importantly, just enjoy your first year at UGA. Getting used to your roommate, choosing a major and adjusting to a new school may be a lot to take in, but it is all part of your freshman experience. You are embarking on a four-year adventure at the greatest university in the South. You will meet life-long friends, get a great education and learn more about yourself, all while having the greatest time of your life. Freshmen, make this year one to remember.

next four years. For the next year, you will live off of Nature Valley bars, instant noodles and pop tarts, and you will horde as many free t-shirts as possible just to avoid going shopping. Luckily, there are a few simple ways to save money while in college. Textbooks: The UGA Bookstore might seem like the most logical and convenient place to go for your textbook needs, but think again. Instead of paying huge markups and getting ripped off, consider buying used books online at Amazon. Not only do they offer student specials for Amazon Prime, but you can also take advantage of their great textbook rental service. Food: By taking advantage of student specials and coupons, you can find affordable ways to eat at restaurants. In fact, several local restaurants and chains offer specials exclusively for UGA students. Entertainment: Instead of driving to the movie theater, considering making the short walk to Tate Theater for
their $1 student tickets. There are plenty of free things to do on campus and around Athens. Make a trip to the State Botanical Gardens of Georgia, check out the free admission at Bear Hollow Zoo and look out for free events sponsored by the University. Instead of paying for individual songs, consider switching to streaming services like Spotify, which offers a special student discount. Employment: The University is a great place to start your job search. Creating a DAWGlink account, a free online service offered by UGA, will connect you with numerous employment opportunities on campus and off campus. On-campus jobs offer competitive pay, flexible hours and you can walk to work. — Sam Woo is a sophomore from Marietta majoring in business administration and international affair

his summer, construction of the new Bolton Dining Commons was completed, and with it not only came the promise of a smorgasbord of delicacies and comfort for incoming freshmen, but also the end of an era for students at the University of Georgia. First, let’s go through the facts. New Bolton will include a milkshake bar, outdoor seating and a number of fireplaces for patrons to enjoy. The old Bolton, by comparison, had none of the above niceties, but rather focused students’ attention on the sub-par ice cream buffet and the endless loop of Peter Gabriel tracks in the background. Clearly, the new Bolton will be nicer than the old Bolton, and I’m sure thousands of baby bulldogs will reap the benefits of having access to a dining area that has less neon signs and more natural light. However, when I think back on my freshman year, I

can’t help but notice the things that these students will be missing out on. To put it in perspective, incoming freshmen will think that Sunday dinners accompanied by a personalized hand-spun milkshake on a terrace overlooking a creek is a normal thing. And for those of us who experienced all the glamor, drama and mystique of old Bolton, we know that is simply not the case. Alas, the struggles of starving on Sunday nights to picking inanimate objects out of our questionably cooked, mystery spaghetti dish will be forever a mere memory in the minds of students who came here at a simpler time. Hiking up the Baxter Street hill for sustenance, jamming to “Don’t You (Forget
About Me)” in the Bolton basement while ravenously devouring a plate of sketchy hot wings is now nothing more than nostalgia. There is a lot of change coming to UGA, and whether or not it’s for the better remains to be seen. What’s for certain though is that, although new Bolton will almost certainly be better than old Bolton, there will always be a special place in my heart for that dimly lit, seemingly ancient place I called my favorite dining hall. But for now, I implore the Bulldog Nation to enjoy the bounty of bottomless milkshakes.

Dangerous misuse of antibiotics spurs food safety controversy
I
n a 2-1 ruling, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals recently decided that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have to consider banning the practice of regularly feeding antibiotics to food-producing animals that are not sick. This ruling comes despite enduring concerns that people are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics that are extensively used in food-producing livestock. Every year, antibiotic-resistant infections kill at least 23,000 Americans and make another two million sick. These concerns are voiced in a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year that recommended minimizing inappropriate use of these antibiotics. For instance, antibiotics have regularly been used to boost animal growth. The prescription of needless antibiotics to people is certainly part of the antibiotic resistance problem. However, eighty percent of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used on livestock and poultry. In the face of an imminent health crisis caused by growing antibiotic resistance, many of America’s most influential health-based organizations have released statements acknowledging the urgency of the situation. The World Health Organization, CDC, American Medical Association and the National Academies of Science among others have advocated for substantial efforts to be made to decrease inappropriate overuse of antibiotics in animals. Because of this ruling, industrial meat and poultry producers can continue the dangerous misuse of antibiotics in livestock and poultry without any repercussions. Producers have been feeding healthy

animals antibiotics for years in order to fatten them up faster. Antibiotics are also used to prevent disease among animals in overcrowded and otherwise unsanitary conditions. This practice creates bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics that breed on the animals Americans then eat. The only action the FDA has taken is to issue a voluntary guidance document for the farming industry, which mandates no action and outlines no negative ramifications for producers who continue the same unsanitary practices. Meanwhile, the European Union with its 28 member nations has already prohibited the misuse of growth-promoting antibiotics. In Denmark, one of the world’s largest exporters of pork, industrial farmers have already cut overall antibiotic use by over 40 percent while simultaneously increasing production. So why should we care? The antibiotic-resistant bacteria that breed on industrial farms can certainly travel to our food, as evidenced by the recent antibiotic-resistant salmonella outbreak linked to Foster Farms chicken that has sickened over 600 people. These bacteria can also get in our water and our soil, which has far-reaching implications for the validity of our water and crop health. Some of these bacteria
are also life-threatening to humans and can cause lethal antibiotic-resistant infections. The most vexing aspect of this whole dilemma is that it is completely unnecessary. Many industrial farmers claim that creating more sanitary living conditions for their animals will translate into costing American consumers gratuitous amounts of money. This assertion is simply not true. Some American producers have already begun to raise healthy livestock and poultry at market-competitive prices without the use of superfluous antibiotics. Heritage Foods Farms, an American pork producer, raises pigs the natural way without drugs. Buyers of Heritage Foods pork include Costco and Chipotle, indicating that producers can make a profit without the use of unneeded antibiotics. While some producers like Heritage Foods have started cleaning up their act, it is high time that the rest of the industry follows their lead. If there is one message to take away from all of this, it is that the excessive misuse of antibiotics in food-producing animals must end in order to protect human health. Corporate greed should never take precedence over public health and safety. If we want to have any hope of keeping antibiotics viable, we need the FDA to do its job and enforce mandatory guidelines to limit routine antibiotic use in the farming industry, instead of leaving scientific decisions up to courts that may not be qualified to make them. — Hammad Khalid is a sophomore from Duluth majoring in microbiology and psychology
There is much more to Georgia sports than just football
T
here isn’t much that lives up to your first game in the student section at Sanford Stadium. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had season tickets your whole life or if you’ve never seen a football game before, the first time that wristband is securely fitted around your arm and you have the opportunity to slide into the rectangular mosh-pit bookended by the Redcoat Band and the Spike Squad, you know you are at home. And come Aug. 30, when Georgia takes on Clemson, the atmosphere will surely be everything you’ve ever been told it would be and even more. But much like the atmosphere on an Athens gameday, there is so much more available to you than just football. Though the fan experience at Sanford Stadium is incomparable in many regards, to only attend football games is to the Georgia athletic experience what only taking major classes is to the Georgia academic experience. Football may be a mandatory class, but the true college experience is captured in the electives. Sure, you aren’t going to be able to
cheer with more than 90,000 other fans at a volleyball game or a swim meet, but it’s the intimacy of those crowds that make the experiences all the more personal. When you’re at Sanford Stadium, a heckle or jeer directed toward an opposing player or coach will do its best to rile up the people in the two rows in front of and behind you. But at Stegeman Coliseum for a basketball game, for example, these jeers can swing the outcome of a game. Take for example the men’s basketball team’s regular season game against Ole Miss in 2014. The Rebels’ controversial guard Marshall Henderson was the subject of such scorn that the ‘boos’ when he touched the ball could be heard all the way over at Foley Field where the Georgia baseball team was also playing a home game. Or perhaps you could take the opening game of the 2014 National Invitational Tournament as an example. Georgia fans latched on to one Vermont player for so long that anytime the ball touched his fingers, a chorus of ‘boos’ rang down more consistently than the Chapel Bell ringing during finals week.
I understand vicious and voracious fandom isn’t the best sell for some people. But that’s the beauty of smaller sports. For every hardcore fan you’ll encounter at a tennis match, you’ll also come across more casual, more levelheaded fans than anywhere else. Whereas a football game is the whole to-do with all the dressing up and tailgating, smaller sports truly put the recreational attitude back into sports. They’re relaxing, a nice escape from everyday life. But then there is another aspect to being a smaller sports fan that may be the most rewarding of them all: Those sports need you. How much does your wearing of a red, number 3 jersey in Sanford Stadium make Todd Gurley better? By comparison, how much does your voice echoing through an entire arena make a volleyball or basketball player better? Your commitment to those sports directly creates a homefield advantage in sports where audiences seldom affect gameplay. Finally, if there is one last argument to be made on the case of small sports, it boils down to one word: uniqueness.
Nick Suss
Sports Editor
Coming to UGA for the first time, everybody wants to build those longlasting relationships they’ve heard about. But building a relationship around football is like finding friendship in wanting to get A’s or living in the dorms or complaining about how crowded the Orbit bus is. Everybody knows those things. But being a Georgia swimming fan? Or a women’s basketball fan? Or volleyball? Or tennis? That’s unique. If you can find some other people that share that obscure interest, those are probably like-minded people. In summation, don’t shy away from football. Love every second of every Georgia home game. Go to every game and cherish every single moment in the student section. But that student section will be fine without you. The other sports though, they need you. Don’t let them down. — Nick Suss is a junior from Cumming majoring in magazine journamlism

Alcohol use on college campuses Little effort to solve drinking problems BY RICHARD BANTON @mrgamechange A study published by Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research indicates a gap in colleges’ efforts to tackle student drinking issues. Surveying 343 directors of campus police/security across the United States, researchers found only 33 percent of campus law enforcement units “nearly always” issued criminal charges or citations to students after underage or serious alcohol-related incidents on campus, despite 51 percent of directors describing students’ acohol use as a moderate problem and 27 percent describing it as a major one. Notification of parents and referral to health centers for alcohol abuse screenings were both found to be rare measures taken, according to the study. Instead, the dean’s office or the offices of student affairs was often the only group notified. The study is the second of its kind and takes a different perspective than numerous studies before it on college drinking, including the Monitor the Future Study on Drug Use, which found college students reported higher rates of both past 30-day drinking and binge drinking. University of Georgia Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said while student drinking was an issue he was particularly alarmed at the experience of some students. Williamson said in his ten years as chief he’s noticed an increase in the tolerance of younger students, indicating a longer history of alcohol con-
sumption. In sifting through statistics, he said reported offenses and arrests were extremely low compared to UGA’s size — less than one percent of the student population. In 2013, UGA police reported 339 arrests for alcohol-related offenses — including DUI, underage possession and public drunkenness — with arrests on underage possession charges at 187. Williamson said officers frequently separated parties or warned students, rather than moving forward with an arrest. Students who consumed more were also most likely to come into contact with the police, he said. One of the researcher’s other findings was law enforcement in smaller college cities and towns were more likely to issue criminal citations or arrests, while law enforcement in larger towns and cities — including Athens — was more likely to notify the dean’s office or student affairs, according to the study. But the study failed to include any data on how local law enforcement deals with alcohol-related offenses. In Athens, the Athens-Clarke County police arrest approximately 1,000 minors for alcohol possession, almost twice the number of minors arrested in Fulton County, the home of Georgia State University and Georgia Tech, according to a WSB-TV article. Kristin Henry, an English major from East Paulding, expressed discomfort with the policy of arresting minors. “Being arrested is excessive, and punishment is already so costly that citations make more sense — particularly when people might be endangering themselves because they are afraid to go to jail,” she said.
A national study showed police on college campuses make arrests or give citations for alcohol-related charges roughly 33 percent of the time. JOSHUA L. JONES/Staff Henry said she knew of several friends who were arrested and charged with alcohol-related offenses and could understand why some UGA students tend to consume high amounts of alcohol. “There is an extremely pervasive
culture of drinking in Athens,” she said. “For younger students that sort of freedom doesn’t go well with moderation when, for the first time, you don’t have to worry about going home to parents drunk, and you don’t necessarily know your limits yet.”

Honor societies provide common ground BY SAM NEWTON @aguyinatie Phi Beta Kappa Society, the oldest honor society in the United States in the field of liberal arts and sciences is just one of the numerous honor societies at the University of Georgia. The 2014 school year at UGA will also see the Neuroscience Honors Society enter into the ranks of the various honor societies. But these types of organizations are not limited to neuroscience and general arts and sciences in general. Alex Grant, a senior horticulture major from Marietta serves as the
president of the Horticulture Club and treasurer of Pi Alpha Xi, an American Honorary Society for Horticultural Science. Unlike some honor societies, a students does not need to apply for membership into the Pi Alpha Xi, Grant said. Instead, the department chooses its members, assuming the student meets the qualifications. Pi Alpha Xi hosts an annual philanthropy in which it runs a largescale poinsettia sale. “The organization is just one of many that try to improve the [College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences],” Grant said.
Many students involved with honor societies see value in being a part of their organization. Grant Thomas, a senior political science major from Alpharetta, is a member of two honor societies. He joined the Order of Omega, a society that recognizes leadership among fraternities and sororities, and Pi Sigma Alpha, or the National Political Science Honors Society. “I joined them because they are a great way to meet other like-minded and successful students who share similar academic interests,” Thomas said.

New Faces: UGA staff members begin tenure for fall classes This summer saw nearly 10 appointments to staff positions at the University of Georgia — including three directors, two vice presidents, one vice provost, one dean and one head of the UGA libraries. Here are some of the new faces of UGA staff for the Fall 2014 semester.
With little ties to UGA before his appointment, Kelly Kerner is familiar with the position he assumed as vice president of development and alumni relations at the school. Kerner said he served as the VP of the same department at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, for two years before filling in former UGA VP Tom Landrum’s position. “Professionally, this is the most important thing that has happened to me,” he said. “This is a job people work their entire career for. Every day I walk into my office, I recognize what a privilege it is.” Kerner’s experience strectches across several colleges and universities throughout the nation, including the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon, Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont, Bates College in Lewiston, Maine and Bowdoin College. Kerner’s position includes overseeing development, alumni relations, financial services, special events and the career center.
— Compiled by Brad Mannion Keith Wenrich Director of recreational sports and the Ramsey Student Center for Physical Activities As of July 1, Keith Wenrich moved from his position as assistant to the executive director at University Housing to director of recreational sports and the Ramsey Student Center for Physical Activities at UGA, which includes overseeing numerous facilities. “UGA has some of the best recreational sports facilities in the nation,” Wenrich said in a UGA Today news release.
RUSSELL MUMPER Vice Provost
Yana Cornish Director of education abroad Yana Cornish will begin her role as director of education abroad for UGA’s Office of International Education Aug. 18. Cornish served as director of study abroad programs at the University of Northern Iowa for more than 10 years. During Cornish’s time at UNI, study abroad participation almost quadrupled, and UNI is now ranked as one of the top 40 masters’ institutions for study abroad participation.
Toby Graham will assume his role as head of UGA Libraries Sept. 1, but he served in roles with UGA Libraries for years before his appointment. Graham served as deputy university librarian since 2009, where he also directs the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library and oversees the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries. “I am thrilled by the opportunity to lead the UGA Libraries, a strong organization with an excellent staff, extensive print and digital collections, and a network of supporters who care deeply about our part in fulfilling the mission of the University of Georgia,” Graham said in a UGA Today news release. “It is an exciting time to work at UGA under the leadership of President Morehead and Provost Whitten and a key period in the ongoing transformation of the modern research library.”
BEN AYERS
Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations
Russell Mumper will be leaving the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill to become UGA’s vice provost, where he will begin his tenure on Aug. 18. Mumper’s role as vice provost includes working on initiatives that come from the provost’s office. Mumper will also work directly with Pamela Whitten, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, on certain academic issues. “He will work closely with deans and other members of the senior administration to aggressively pursue the shared goal of making this institution a global pacesetter in teaching, research and service,” Whitten said in a UGA Today news release.
Toby Graham Head of UGA Libraries
Dean of the Terry College of Business
KELLY KERNER
Ben Ayers, dean of the Terry College School of Business, assumed his position July 1. Formerly the director of the J.M. Tull School of Accounting, Ayers replaced interim Terry Dean and UGA President Emeritus Charles Knapp. Ayers said his time as dean will focus on overall talent and the potential of the school’s programs and students. “I’m not someone who will favor one particular program over another,” Ayers said in a previous Red & Black article. “My expectation is for us to be amazing in each and every aspect of our faculty, research and our undergraduate programs.”
Justin Jeffrey Director of International Student Life Justin Jeffrey began his work as director of International Student Life at UGA July 10. Before his tenure at UGA, Jeffrey served at the Georgia Southern University as assistant to the director of the office of student activities. “I’m excited about UGA’s focus on both supporting and celebrating the diversity of the international student population,” Jeffery said in the news release.

Vaccinations recommended for all incoming UGA students BY HYACINTH EMPINADO @sayhitohyacinth Every year, thousands of people flock to the University of Georgia for the beginning of the fall semester — all the while connecting, chatting and exchanging microbes. “Colleges and universities are essentially settings where a diverse population comes together and lives in very close quarters,” said Howard Cohen, an associate professor at Georgia Regents University, a member of UGA’s Medical Partnership. “It provides the right environment for transmission of organisms that require close contact.” Vaccines are a way to protect not only the individual, but also the people around them, Cohen said. “When you come into this environment, you’re going to be exposed to a variety of potentially dangerous organisms, and why come to college and be vulnerable? It’s like going to war and not wearing any armor,” he said. “That’s what the vaccine does.” Before students can register for classes at UGA, they need to have the required vaccinations. There is also a list of recommended vaccinations online, including shots against the flu virus, human papillomavirus, hepatitis A and bacterial meningitis. Vaccines are widely available for
students wanting to get immunized. Aside from getting them at the student health center, many vaccines are also available at local pharmacies such as Walgreens and Kroger. Several UGA students think the required vaccinations are necessary. “You’re not living by yourself, so you have to be concerned for other people,” said Faith Kithome, a senior psychology and human development and family sciences major from Macon. “That’s the main thing about vaccinations is that the [required] ones we get vaccinated for are not the flu. It spreads easy, but at the same time they’re very dangerous, lifethreatening, plague-like things.” And Perla Galindo, a junior psychology major from Norcorss, agrees. “You’re living with so many people around you, and if it’s required, it’s dangerous,” she said. As for recommended vaccinations, both Kithome and Galindo have received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine. However, while Galindo is still thinking about getting the flu shot, Kithome said she probably won't. “I didn’t get it growing up. I was fine ... I don’t actually get the flu during flu season,” she said. “It doesn’t really help me that much when I would need it.”

The Y. So Much More
Influenza Vaccines are often used to treat life-threatening illnesses, but for usually non-fatal diseases like the flu, Cohen, the UGA University Health Center and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommend getting vaccinated for it. Even though most people recover from the flu, certain people may not be so lucky. The very young, the elderly and people with chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes are those who are most at risk, according to the UHC. Cohen said there are significant complications that could arise from the flu, even among college students, including pneumonia. “If you got sick and you went home during Christmas break to visit your grandma and your grandmother did not get the flu vaccine, and you may have an active case of the flu, you’re going give your grandmother flu,” he said. “So immunizing you also, in a sense, helps protect the rest of the population.” HPV HPV is transmitted through sexual contact and can cause cancers in both men and women. Cohen said this vaccine is recommended for college freshmen because most people start becoming sexually active during college, if they weren’t already. “This vaccine can prevent cervical cancer if it is given before you get the infection, so it is therefore optimum to give this vaccine before students matriculate,” Cohen said. Hepatitis A Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by a virus and lasts for anywhere from weeks to several months. However, it goes away over time, unlike other forms of hepatitis where the virus can persist until death. Hepatitis A is primarily spread through person-to-person contact and through contaminated food and water. UGA’s health center recommends getting two doses of the vaccine. Meningitis The student health center recommends the Meningococcal disease, or meningitis, vaccine especially to those who are moving into on-campus housing, seeing as it is transmitted through close contact, such as kissing and drinking after someone. Students must either get the vaccine or sign a form saying they have received infor-

Safety Although some may see vaccines as potentially harmful, Cohen said most vaccines are safe and, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, vaccines “are held to the highest standard of safety.” Aside from the little prick of the initial administration, side effects are usually minimal, ranging from soreness at the injection site to a low-grade fever and maybe a little weakness. “For all of these vaccinations that are required for college students to matriculate to college, the benefit tremendously outweighs the very, very small risk,” Cohen said. However, like all other medications, some people may have serious allergic reactions. “It’s like having to take penicillin,” Cohen said. “Penicillin is a very good drug, but a few people will die every year, by being given penicillin.” Vaccines go through a rigorous process and years of testing for safety and effectiveness before it can be available at the nearest clinic via approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Even after the vaccine is available to the public, however, it is still continuously evaluated, according to the USDHHS. With regard to those who have reservations about taking vaccinations, Cohen said while physicians respect their beliefs, they always try to show them the scientific data and try to convince them that vaccines can help protect themselves and others from a potentially fatal disease. “I can respect that someone has very firm beliefs that they won’t want to be vaccinated, but there is a requirement for matriculation,” he said. “We all live in a society. We balance individual freedoms versus the benefit to society. And that’s what we do in a sense with vaccinations.”
Clinics to aid in smoking cessation BY LEIGHTON ROWELL @lmrow

mation about the disease. Meningococcal infections do not occur often, but when they do, it is often serious. Even if patients get treatment, one in 10 still die from the disease. The two most common forms of the disease are meningitis and septicemia, a bloodstream infection that can lead to amputation or death. In a person with meningitis, the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord gets infected, and the membranes surrounding them get inflamed. This disease can sometimes have debilitating effects such as brain damage and hearing loss.
The University of Georgia will become smoke-free Oct. 1, when all tobacco products and e-cigarettes will be banned per a spring Univesity System of Georgia mandate. For some, the change may be difficult, a problem one UGA department is attempting to address. Beginning Aug. 26, the UGA College of Pharmacy will host weekly clinics to help students and faculty quit smoking in the weeks leading up to Oct. 1. Trained UGA pharmacy students will lead the cessation programs, which are modeled after Pfizer’s Beat the Pack campaign. UGA employees and Athens residents can now sign up for the first session, which begins Aug. 26 and will run for six weeks through Sept. 30. Each clinic is limited to 20 participants.
Groups participating in the clinic will meet every Tuesday evening at the UGA Training and Development Center. Each week’s meeting will focus on a topic related to tobacco, such as health risks, reasons to quit and handling relapse. Meetings will be followed by individual coaching sessions in which attendees will work with UGA pharmacy students to develop personalized plans to help them quit using tobacco. A second smoking cessation program is expected to begin in late August or early September. But junior political science major Sarah Mullis said she doesn’t see herself attending the clinic. “Honestly if I wanted to quit, I probably wouldn’t try to go to a clinic or anything,” she said. “I would just quit cold turkey.” Mullis said she does

think programs like the one the College of Pharmacy plans to offer could be beneficial for other smokers, though. “I do think that it would be helpful because I think some people don’t want to just go totally off of nicotine,” she said. “Maybe they want to try patches or e-cigarettes — something else that is still sort of similar to cigarettes, but not completely.” Drake Newton, a junior finance major from Dacula, said in a previous Red & Black article that if the University designated spaces on campus specifically for smoking, they would be able to more effectively enforce the mandate. “If there were just a few secluded areas like they have in other places that promoted smoking I think that would be a little more successful in controlling it," he said in the article.

Classic Center to host food, comedy BY SAM DARBY @redandblack Classic City BBQ The second annual Classic City BBQ Festival will take place August 15-16 at The Classic Center. This two-day, family-friendly event, attended by about 4,000 spectators last year, will feature three barbecue contests, local barbecue restaurant vendors, a tailgate tradeshow, a classic car show, live music and a kid zone. Award-winning country music singer T. Graham Brown will perform in The Classic Center Theatre that Friday. Tickets to the concert are $20-25. The popular People’s Choice Award Tasting will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16. Barbecue lovers can sample their choice of five pulled pork entries cooked by the professional and amateur teams. Each ticket also buys a vote to help crown the winner for the People’s Choice Award. Festival attendees can also listen to music on the outdoor music stage on Foundry Street Plaza and enjoy barbecue and other foods purchased from an array of vendors. One day admission to the festival is $3, a two-day pass is $5 and tickets for the People’s Choice Award Tasting is $10. Admission is required to attend People’s Choice. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, a local nonprofit that works to end hunger as part of its overall community effort to alleviate poverty. Umphrey’s McGee Umphrey’s McGee will play at The Classic Center Theatre Friday, Aug. 29 at 8:30 p.m. Since forming in the late ’90s, the musically muscular and relentlessly inventive band has cultivated an impressive presence both live and in the studio. Lauded by critics and adored by fans, the band continues to draw in new listeners with their singular style: virtuoso playing and acrobatic tempo changes. Rhythmic shifts complemented by dazzling song craft and composition, memorable hooks, anthemic guitar lines and rock solid rhythms can all be found in its pieces.
Its musical touchstones range from the melodicism of Police, U2, the Beatles and Nirvana, the symphonic progressivism of Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Yes, and Genesis to the heavy metal thunder of Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Soundgarden and Pantera. Tickets for the concert range from $24 to $50. Bill Cosby Bill Cosby, one of America’s most beloved comedians of all time, will perform at The Classic Center Theatre Sunday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. as part of his Comedy Central Far From Finished Tour. Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is “The Cosby Show,” about a close-knit, upper-class black family. Time Magazine called the show “an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race.” “The Cosby Show” dominated the No. 1 spot for years, earning nearly unanimous critical praise. Life Magazine described the program as “a gentle, whimsical, warmhearted” show whose “delicious ordinariness of its pleasures and tribulations has given millions a fresh, laughtersplashed perspective on their own domestic lives.” Cosby has received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award. Among his many awards for his stand-up comedy albums are five Grammy Awards, eight gold and five platinum records. Tickets for the concert range from $34 to $68. Kip Moore Platinum-selling country singer/songwriter Kip Moore will be performing at The Classic Center Theatre Friday, November 14 at 8 p.m. Moore is this year’s headliner of the CMT's On Tour 2014: Up In Smoke. A native of Tifton, the son of a golf pro and a painter, Kip Moore mixes tight country narratives with a touch of heartland rock, and at his best, he fashions songs that led one reviewer to call him “a hillbilly Springsteen.” Moore grew up listening to
$165,000
Jackson Browne, Willie Nelson, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen. Moore started playing his brother’s guitar some while he was in high school, but his focus was more on sports at the time, particularly golf and basketball, and while at Wallace State and Valdosta State, according to his website. After graduating from college, Moore moved to Nashville to try his hand in as a singer and writer, eventually catching the ear of Universal Music Group. According to his website, a deal was put in place with MCA Records, and Moore recorded his debut album, “Up All Night,” which was released in the spring of 2012 and quickly attracted positive critical attention. Tickets for the concert is $32.50 for general admission and $99 for the VIP Experience, which includes. an exclusive pre-show two song acoustic performance, opportunity to meet & greet with photo Kip Moore and one limited edition screen print poster. Alton Brown Live! Alton Brown, Iron Chef host and acclaimed television personality, is taking his brand of quirky humor and culinary science on the road with “Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour.” Brown will appear at The Classic Center Theatre Tuesday, October 21 at 7:30 p.m. A University of Georgia graduate, Brown’s tour promises to be an eventful evening of stand-up comedy, talk show antics, multimedia lecture, live music and food experimentation.

Patrons enjoying The Grit – one of the many places to take family or friends in downtown FILE/Staff
Places to eat and drink: Friends vs. Parents BY CARLY RALSTON @carlyaralston Whether it’s a Thursday night out with friends or a weekend parents are visiting, Athens offers a variety of restaurants, bars and entertainment venues to suit all. Primarily in the downtown area, students, visitors and residents alike are sure to find a spot they will brand as a favorite. One great restaurant to take parents is Last Resort Grill. They offer dishes that won’t just be the typical pizza or take-out for the night, like sweet potato gnocci and carolina crab cakes. However, if pizza is your thing, Mellow Mushroom is a family friendly option. “I would take my parents to Mellow Mushroom because it’s easy to get food for a lot of people,” said Parker Johnson, a senior criminal justice major from Ellijay. Other suggestions for parents and family dinners in Athens are Mama’s Boy, Shokitini, and a Watkinsville favorite, Rachel’s. For dinners and eating out with friends
there are an unlimited number of places to choose from. “Grindhouse is a good place [for friends] to get burgers and beers,” Johnson said. Along with Grindhouse, students can choose from The G r i t , Transmetropolitan, The Volsteadand and Fuzzy’s Taco Stand. A lot of students may be more focused on the bar scene rather than what’s for dinner. Luckily in Athens there are places for both parents and friends. If it’s a friend’s 21st birthday or just a night downtown, you definitely need to visit 100 Proof for frozen drinks, Magnolia’s, and Allgood – just to name a few. For parents, Walker’s Coffee and Pub, The Globe and Highwire Lounge are a good place to start. “Walker’s is a place where you can sit down and catch up with family, where 100 Proof has loud music, dancing and just small talk,” said Rebecca Baskam, a senior communications major from Cumming Athens offers an eclectic city for parents and friends.

Brunch locals across the Classic City JOSHUA L. JONES @JjoshGA The Athens community has a habit of being late risers, whether it be from waking up late after a big game day or sleeping in on your day off. In most communities, waking up at noon would meanfinding yourself out of luck for a great breakfast, but in the Classic City, it just means you have not one, not two, but over a half dozen places to choose from that serve up Athens’ take on all our breakfast favorites at brunch time. Mama’s Boy Mama’s Boy is that place you see every weekend packed to the brim with patrons. And yes, the food and service is well worth the wait. From biscuits and gravy to
the tofu stir fry, Mama’s Boy is a must try for anyone new to Athens. Located on Oak Street, Mama’s Boy offers up daily specials and homemade items such as their poppy seed butter that you’ll crawl back for. Ike and Jane's Yes Ike and Jane’s Cafe and Bakery has fresh made baked goods like any other bakery, but they also have frosted doughnuts topped with lucky charms and even an Elvis doughnut that features the King’s favorites – chunky peanut butter with bacon and banana on top. Located at 1307 Prince Ave., this Bakery is well worth a visit. My personal go to is the roasted jalapeno, bacon, egg and cheddar croissant.
Big City Bread Big City Bread Cafe is another great local restaurant that wraps a line around the building on a daily bases. This bakery offers up everything from fresh made loafs of bread to some of the best burgers around. Located at 393 North Finley St., Big City Bread’s brunch menu is sure to please. Heirloom Cafe Heirloom Cafe and Fresh Market runs on a mission of bring fresh, locally-grown produce to the community. Susie’s Meatloaf Sandwich is a main attraction, but their great salads and daily quiche are worth Googling where 815 N. Chase St. is.
One town, many coffee shops: The story of Athens JOSHUA L. JONES & STEPHEN MAYS @JjoshGA, @stephen_mays Two Story Coffee Nestled in Five Points, Two Story Coffeehouse is one of the smaller coffee houses in Athens, but the intimate space brings patrons from both the University of Georgia campus as well as the Athens community. Two Story also roasts its own coffee, grinds the beans immediately preceeding each pour over and adds detailed flourish to every steamed drink. “We decided to roast our own,” said Chaz Ripley, the manager of Two Story. “The idea was that we’re going to do coffee a little differently, not only to get coffee that is free trade but generally ethically sourced.” Downtown Jittery Joe’s While Jittery Joe’s has the largest number of cafes in Athens, its coffee houses provide much more than java for its patrons. Along with locallyroasted beans, the shops offer a wide selection of teas. “Tea is amazing,” said Anna Smith, manager of the downtown Jittery Joe’s. “We get our teas from Irey Tea in Rhode Island, a small tea factory that makes all of their teas in small batches with fair trade ingredients. Yerba mate [a variety of tea] is very interesting because it doesn’t have any caffeine, but it has a stimulant that doesn’t give you those jitters or the crash, and it is great mixed with ginger of ginseng.” Sips Espresso Cafe Sips is an oasis for UGA students and the Normal Town community as it is one of the only coffee shops in the area. The cafe offers a great open air study space for students with a mixing pot of the best Athens has to offer — chocolate chip muffins from Kumquat Mae Bakery and scones from Kiki’s Bakeshop. This little shop just keeps getting better as one of the only places to sell 1000 Faces Coffee’s cold-brewed bottles — the cure if you’re tired of weak, watered-down iced coffee.

Upcoming movies to catch this fall We are almost out of the summer pit of blockbuster films. No more over- budgeted action flicks. No more silly comedies. No more Michael Bay. Fall is almost here, and with it comes a reason to be excited to spend your hard earned cash at the movies. — Compiled by Marshall Jenkins
Athens’ Premier Florist
First up, the highly anticipated adaptation of the New York Times Best-seller Gone Girl written by Gillian Flynn is finally going to appear this October. Directed by David Fincher, whose cult following is comparable to Tarantino and is responsible for classics like Seven and Fight Club, helms the project. Ben Affleck will star in the film as Nick Dunne. He’s a man desperately searching for his missing wife while trying to avoid suspicion himself. Check it out in theaters starting Oct. 3.
Speaking of a following, Christopher Nolan has emerged as one of the most watched and respected directors in terms of a teenage and collegiate audience. His revival of the Batman series and his original works like Memento and Inception have given wonderful spectacles to see that actually manage to have thoughtful scripts. His next original, Interstellar, should be no different. Releasing Nov. 7 and starring Matthew McConaughey, the film follows a group of explorers who set out through a wormhole in space to find a new home for humanity. Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy will come to its conclusion this December with The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Mixed fanfare surrounds this film as the newest installments have been seen as greatly inferior to the classic Lord of the Rings trilogy. It will be hard to judge the series until it is completed, but nonetheless, going to Middle Earth can still be a good time at the movies even though you wish you were following Frodo and the one ring instead of 13 dwarves whom you can’t even remember the names to. Look for it Dec. 17. Let’s not forget Katniss Everdeen’s yearly contribution to Hollywood. Following the usual formula of splitting novels into multiple parts, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is set to release to a worldwide audience that has been enamored with the story since the first films release in 2012. It will make money and it will be enjoyed. That has already been decided. The real reason to see this series out is that it will be the last chance to see the late Phillip Seymore Hoffman act before his filmography comes to a tragic conclusion due to his death earlier this year. The film will release to ready audiences around the world on Nov. 24. Coming off the great success of Moneyball and Capote, Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year to positive reviews. Specifically, the performances of Channing Tatum, Steve Carell and Mark Ruffalo were praised and often the focal point of many conversations at the festival. Having seen the film, I can agree that this film will do well here in the United States, and it will certainly given Carell and Tatum deserved nominations for this award season. It is a dark and twisted look into the life and mind of one of America’s wealthiest families and gives a great insight into one of the strangest relationships ever shown on screen. It is set to release on Nov. 14. Paul Thomas Anderson is easily one of the greatest directors working in Hollywood right now and arguably one of the best to have ever worked there. Consistent writers/directors are hard to come by and his works have all been praised on one area or another. Inherent Vice, which releases Jan. 9, seeks to keep to his tradition of high caliber filmmaking going. Joaquin Phoenix, who was just nominated for Anderson’s previous film The Master returns to collaborate with him again as a drug-abusing detective on a case to search for his ex-girlfriends missing boyfriend.

Fall lineup at the 40 Watt Club promises variation, major hits BY EMMA HUNT @redandblack
The Coathangers, an Atlanta-based, all-girl punk band, performed at the 40 Watt Club during the 2014 AthFest Music Festival July 20, 2014. JOHN ROARK/Staff
For a venue that helped jumpstart the careers of the B-52’s, REM and of Montreal, it’s no surprise that this fall the 40 Watt Club has a stellar line-up. One of the more popular bands playing here this fall is Real Estate. Real Estate is an indie-rock band from New Jersey that started in 2010 and has released two albums with major hits on both. They just released an album this year called Atlas, featuring “Talking Backwards” as a hit single. Velena Vego, the talent buyer at the 40 Watt for the past 23 years, said, “Real Estate will be one of our biggest shows this semester.” Vego is also excited for Kyle Kinane’s show. Kinane is a stand-up comedian from Illinois. His official Facebook page highlights his performances on shows such as Last Call with Carson Daly, Live at Gotham and Conan. He was also on Variety’s “Ten Comics to Watch in 2010.” Comedy Central is coming to do a live recording of his performance at the 40 Watt. He adds a little variety to the line-up of alternative and indie rock the venue usually has planned. Another variation included in this semester’s line-up is the Outshyne show. Outshyne is an up-and-coming country band from South Carolina. They’ve opened for other country acts such as Jake Owen and Eric Church. While they haven’t released an album this year, their latest release is a single called “Moonlight Crush,” which hit 24 on the Music Row Chart at one point. Their website also explains that the country rock band met and started playing in high school in 2007, but decided to take it further and start recording in 2010. Opening for them will be Jon Langston and Patrick Britt, both
Georgia natives with bright futures in the music industry. The Old 97’s are a band with a taste of country mixed with rock. Vego mentioned the Old 97’s as a highly anticipated performance this fall. They are known for their unique sound that changes — but keeps a particular element that makes them stand out — throughout the more than 15 years the band has been together. Rather than sticking to a simple genre, the band’s Spotify biography describes them as being “alternative country-rock” mixed with “cowpunk” and “power pop.” According to their Facebook, they are also known for the “piercingly observant lyrics of lead singer Rhett Miller.” Like the Old 97’s, Cibo Matto is a group breaking the boundaries of music genres and playing at the 40 Watt in the fall. Their Spotify biography highlights the uniqueness of this group’s sound with their combined tones of Japan (their home country) with New York (their current location), which brings in funk, “hip hop rhythms, tape loops, and fractured pop melodies.” The two women sing in French and broken English, which adds yet another distinct element to their music. This tour was brought about because of the release of their first album in 15 years, Hotel Valentine. These are only some of the bands and groups featured in the 40 Watt’s line-up this semester. Many more will be playing and are worth checking out. The 40 Watt has always been a source of up-and-coming performers for more than 30 years, so who knows? Maybe this semester when you walk into this eternally hip venue to see some of these bands and groups, you’ll be seeing the next big thing to come out of Athens.

Georgia Theatre finishing fall shows BY SAMANTHA LIPKIN @redandblack Fall is quickly approaching, and as another reminder of this, Georgia Theatre has announced part of its lineup for the upcoming season. Athens’ culture thrives off of the renowned music scene, and nestled downtown, Georgia Theatre caters to all fan bases. “We like to stay very involved with the community,” said Katie Carmody, marketing director of Georgia Theatre. “When the fire happened, the community really rallied around us, hired our staff, helped throw fundraisers and more.” The Theatre hosts tours for local groups as well as assists in events
for Univerity of Georgia students organizations. “We always have great things brewing ... stay tuned,” said Carmody. Still in the process of finishing their fall line up, many shows have already been announced. Gov’t Mule will perform Aug. 21-22 at 9 p.m. This Southern rock jam band was formed in 1994 as a side project of The Allman Brothers Band by guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody. Broken Bells performs Oct. 1 at 9:00 p.m. Members Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) and James Mercer are proud to announce the recent release of their album, After the Disco. The band composes and creates as a duo
but are accompanied by a full band on tour. Lee Fields and the Expressions will perform with Curtis Harding Oct 3 at 8:30 p.m. One of the few soul musicians still actively making music who had a release in 1969, Fields has traveled with a multitude of legends. Over his 43-year career, Fields has acquired the nickname “Little JB” for his physical and vocal resemblance to James Brown. Shovels & Rope go on Oct. 10 at 9:00 p.m. This band has a true less-is-more approach to their work that can be seen in their songs and lifestyles alike. The duo from Charleston, South Carolina is composed of husband and wife Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst.

Jeremy Pruitt focusing only on remaining Georgia players BY NICK SUSS @nicksuss The only losses Jeremy Pruitt cares about can be measured in pounds, not personnel. Heading into his first preseason as Georgia’s defensive coordinator, Pruitt isn’t focused on the dismissals and arrests that plagued the Georgia defense this offseason; all he cares about is the players he still has. “To me, I don’t know what went on here last year, but everybody had a chance to start over,” Pruitt said. “To me, it’s not losses. We’ve got the guys we’ve got and that’s what we’re going to go with.” Pruitt stood as indifferent as to the losses of players like former safeties Josh Harvey-Clemons and Tray Matthews and defensive lineman Jon Taylor, all of whom were dismissed, saying that he likes to “focus on the players that are at Georgia, not the ones who are not here.” But just as the defensive depth chart has seen a transformation because of the roster’s instability, the players remaining on Pruitt’s defense have also seen a transformation, one in body type. Pruitt said the main difference he wanted to catalyze upon his arrival was a difference in philosophy about how players should look and what their individual levels of fitness should be. “I know what I think a guy is supposed to look like and that’s what we’ve worked hard to get them to that level,” Pruitt said. Jokingly saying that a player is “supposed to look good,” Pruitt insinuated that his players have reached the levels of physical fitness he wanted them to reach. “We had a lot of guys who have changed their bodies over the summer,” Pruitt said. “We had a lot of guys lose weight. The big thing is their body composition as far as their percentage of body fat, and I think we’ve done a good job of doing that.” Bobo comfortable with offensive line situation While offensive coordinator Mike Bobo still doesn’t know which five players will be starting on his offensive line against Clemson on Aug. 30, he said that he is comfortable that whoever starts will play well. “I feel really good about where we’re at up front,” Bobo said. “I think we have some maturity there, we got some leadership in that group and I think we’ve got some guys that we feel a little bit more athletic than we did in the past.” It can be assumed that two-year starter and senior leader of the group David Andrews will be the team’s starting center, but there are no guarantees as to who the other four players will be or what positions some of those players will play. Junior John Theus and senior Kolton Houston are among the most enigmatic players in the group, as both have played multiple positions in their time at Georgia and though it
C&CR
is expected that they will start, not even Bobo is yet sure where. “All summer [Theus] has been working at left and right [tackle],” Bobo said. “Kolton will be a guy who works at left and right. So we’ve got to figure out who’s going to be the best combination that gives us the most success.” With as many possible permutations available on the offensive front as there are, Bobo said that he doesn’t want to create the feeling that one group of players has an edge over the others. “I don’t really put limitations on only these guys are competing for starting jobs,” Bobo said. “If they go into practice thinking they really don’t have a chance to start then you’re not going to get the best out of him.” Regardless of how many players Bobo thinks are ready to play, he said that nothing is certain until the game has been played. “The bottom line is we’ve still got to go out and do it,” Bobo said. “Potential, that doesn’t really mean anything yet.” Uncertainty still characterizes Pruitt’s defense Having known most of his players for only a handful of months and never having seen any of his incoming freshmen practice, Pruitt acknowledged his uncertainty as to who will be playing come fall. “Right now I’m not very comfortable at all,” Pruitt said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who don’t have very much playing experience, some of them it’ll be there first time practicing at Georgia this week.” The defensive backfield is arguably the most uncertain position group on the team, with Pruitt having to find pieces to replace Matthews, HarveyClemons and transferred cornerback Shaq Wiggins, all of whom started in 2013. Additionally, former cornerback Brendan Langley has transitioned to playing as a wide receiver. Though he has an inexperienced secondary, Pruitt is known as a defensive backs coach first and still can recognize what he wants from his players. “That’s the most important thing when it comes to a defensive back: Who can play the ball in the deep part of the field,” Pruitt said. “Because obviously that’s where the big plays are created.” In addition to wanting his defense to cut down on the number of big plays allowed, Pruitt also said that he wants to see toughness, ability to cover in man-to-man situations, tackling and sustained consistency from his cornerbacks and safeties. However, Pruitt said he doesn’t expect perfection from his players just yet. In fact, Pruitt said the team’s goal for this season is to strive for that, not to expect it from day one. “When I talk to the guys, we’ve got one goal for the fall: We want to get better every day,” Pruitt said. “We want to do our best in everything we do. That’s our expectation.”

Hoops poised to end tourney drought BY CONNOR RILEY @ConnornotKevin The Georgia men’s basketball team has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2011. With three starters returning, the 2014-15 team has the best chance to end the team’s three-year drought. Last season the Bulldogs finished tied for second in the Southeastern Conference with a 20-14 (12-6 SEC) record. The Bulldogs advanced to the second round of the NIT Championship before losing to Louisiana Tech in Athens 79-71. The Bulldogs bring back secondteam All-SEC guard Charles Mann for his junior season, along with fellow starters Kenny Gaines and Marcus Thornton. Mann led the team in scoring, assists and steals last season, averaging 13.9 points per game, 2.9 assists per game and one steal per game. Gaines was the Bulldogs most prolific 3-point shooter and their second leading scorer, with 13.0 points per game. Thornton led the team in rebounds and blocks last season, as well as averaging 8.3 points per game.
Off the bench, the Bulldogs bring capable scorers senior Nemanja Djurisic and sophomore J.J. Frazier. Georgia also returns guards Cam Forte and Juwan Parker. The Bulldogs will have to replace graduated starter Donte’ Williams and Brandon Morris, who was dismissed July 14 after being arrested on felony marijuana charges. Forwards John Cannon and Tim Dixon also departed, as both decided to transfer. Georgia adds freshman Yante Maten and Osahen Iduwe in 2014. Maten was the 2013-14 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Michigan. He is a 6-foot-8, 240-pound power forward expected to come in and play right away. Iduwe is a 6-foot10, 235-pound center originally from Benin City, Nigeria. While the Georgia schedule is not finalized, it is known when some of its non-conference games will be played. The Bulldogs will play Georgia Tech Nov. 14 in Atlanta and have non-conference games against 2014 NCAA tournament teams Colorado, Kansas State and Mercer. The Bulldogs will also play in the 2014 NIT Season Tip Off in New York.
Junior guards Kenny Gaines (above, center) and Charles Mann are expected to lead Georgia men’s basketball to SEC success in 2014. TAYLOR CRAIG SUTTON/Staff For the SEC portion of the schedule, the Bulldogs will get home games against Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee, teams they did not see at Stegeman Coliseum last season. The Bulldogs have home-and-homes with Kentucky, Auburn, Vanderbilt, South
Carolina and Ole Miss, in addition to having home games against Missouri, Arkansas and the aforementioned Volunteers and Gators. Georgia will visit Texas A&M, LSU, Alabama and Mississippi State at some point during the season.
Shacobia Barbee leads Lady Dogs into 2014 BY ROBBIE DUNN @redandblack The Georgia women’s basketball team is hoping to bounce back after a subpar season which saw it exit after just one game in the NCAA Tournament, a loss to St. Joseph’s. With seven upperclassmen, as well as two incoming freshmen, each ranked in the ESPN top-75, the Bulldogs could cause some damage throughout the nation. Last season, with a record of 20-12, the Lady Bulldogs showed flashes of talent, but appeared flustered in conference play with a record of 7-9. A total of seven wins meant a tie for sixth-place in the S o u t h e a s t e r n Conference last year. The conference champions, South Carolina,
finished with a 14-2 SEC record, including a victory both times facing Georgia. If Georgia wants to win the SEC this year, it must improve upon the 0-5 record against the top-three teams in the SEC it had last season. Another area that needs improvement is the lackluster road record. The Lady Bulldogs were dominant at the Stegeman Coliseum with a record of 15-3, but while away or at neutral courts, they finished just 5-9. However, this season should carry high expectations after the breakout year of junior guard/forward Shacobia Barbee in 2013-2014. Barbee improved across the board, including an increase of five more points per game. Also, she became the first player in program his-
tory to lead the team in average points with 12.2 points per game, rebounds with 7.9 per game, assists with 3.6 per game and steals with 2.6 per game. She was named secondteam All-SEC as well as voted to the SEC AllDefensive team for a second-straight year. With only one departing senior from last season, guard Khaalidah Miller, the Lady Bulldogs have plenty of experience. Miller served as the primary ball-handler her senior year, a position that will likely be Barbee’s in 2014. The additions of freshmen Nasheema Oliver and Mackenzie Engram add size to the frontcourt. Oliver and Engram were the 61st and 71st overall recruits, respectively, according to ESPN.

David Andrews the only certainty on Georgia offensive line BY NICK SUSS @nicksuss Heading into his senior season, David Andrews is the only certainty on the Georgia offensive line. A stalwart at the center position, Andrews has started every game in each of the last two seasons and is pegged as not only one of the offense’s most talented players, but as one of the offense’s three main leaders as well. “David’s huge,” sophomore guard Brandon Kublanow said. “He knows everything forward and backward in the offense. He helps me out a lot. He helps everyone out a lot. He’s huge.” Named to both the Rimington Award and the Outland Award watch lists, the awards given to the nation’s best center and the nation’s best interior
lineman respectively, Andrews is expected to be the most important player on the Georgia offensive line. However, the state of the Georgia offensive line relies upon much more than just Andrews alone. Both junior John Theus and senior Kolton Houston are also expected to start for the Bulldogs, but their positional versatilities are a hindrance in projecting where they will play. As offensive coordinator Mike Bobo verified, it still has not been decided whether Theus will play left tackle or right tackle or whether Houston will play right tackle or bump inside to guard. “I’m sure in their own minds they’ve got their favorites, but they’ve gotten good at both and they’re both good enough to play them both,” Andrews said of his teammates. The eventual land-
ing spots for Theus and Houston will likely decide who the other starters are. For example, if Theus plays left tackle and Houston as the right tackle, the two guard positions will likely be inhabited by some combination of Kublanow, redshirt sophomore Greg Pyke or senior Watts Dantzler. However, if Theus plays right tackle, Houtson will almost assuredly bump inside to guard, opening the left tackle position for the likes of senior tackle Mark Beard. “We’ve got a couple who we think can play, but no one’s position is guaranteed, so we’re all out there fighting for our job right now,” Andrews said. Pyke and Kublanow both saw some time with the first unit of starters back in the spring and both are expected to still challenge to replace departed guards Chris Burnette and Dallas Lee, both of whom graduated in the spring. At 6-foot-6 and 326 pounds, Pyke is longer than your average guard but makes up for it with a high degree of strength. Kublanow is more prototypically sized at 6-foot-3, 290 pounds and excels more as a run blocker than as a pass blocker. A junior college
Senior center David Andrews enters 2014 with two seasons of starting experience but with no guarantees lined up on either side of him. TAYLOR CRAIG SUTTON/Staff transfer, Beard saw limited action in 2013 as a tackle, often playing in relief of Theus or graduated senior Kenarious Gates. Beard started at left tackle in the G-Day
Scrimmage in April, a move that was consistent with what the team had worked the previous week in practice. Players like junior

Defensive line replacing quality with quantity BY SARAH SPENCER @sarah_k_spence

There has been plenty of overhaul for the University of Georgia’s defense this offseason. But in the case of the defensive line, it’s not so much a case of quantity as it is quality. Defensive end Garrison Smith is gone after starting all 13 games last season, registering 63 tackles, six sacks and 10 tackles for a loss in addition to being a vocal leader. Many players vying to take his spot are upperclassmen and would need to step up into that leadership role. This new line will be coached by defensive line coach Tracy Rocker, former Tennessee Titans defensive line coach, and under the umbrella of new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt, formerly Florida State’s defensive coordinator. Pruitt has said he wants to employ a multiple scheme defense with lighter, quicker players this season; players that can move interchangeably between positions such as defensive end and outside linebacker are a plus. So far, this strategy has appeared to work. “They’re definitely quicker out there,” offensive lineman John Theus said of blocking the new-bodied defensive line. “I know [junior James] DeLoach, he’s pretty tough to block out there in pass rush. You can definitely see it paying off and I think those guys will see it pay off more when we get pads on, a little bit more shifty, a little bit more lean.” Even the interior linemen appear to have trimmed down. “All of them are looking
The defensive line may be a question mark for Georgia, especially if Ray Drew continues his struggles from the spring. TAYLOR CRAIG SUTTON/Staff good, they’ve all lost a lot of weight,” sophomore guard Brandon Kublanow said. “They’re moving a lot better than they were last year and they’re not looking as tired. They’re way more cut up.” That being said, look for the Bulldogs to often have three hands in the dirt, or three down linemen. Senior defensive end Ray Drew and junior defensive end Sterling Bailey return, although Drew struggled this spring and was often demoted to the second-team defense. Bailey started nine games and finished the season with 34 tackles and a sack; Drew had seven starts, finishing with 43 tackles and six sacks. With Smith’s departure, both these players will need to step up in order to successfully lead the defense. Juniors Josh
THE
Dawson DeLoach will also be in the mix after rotating in last season, as well as redshirt freshman John Atkins. At noseguard, junior Chris Mayes had eight starts, 31 tackles and a sack in 2013, finishing the season strong with seven tackles against Georgia Tech. But seniors Toby Johnson and Mike Thornton also saw playing time and are likely to see more. There is also new defensive line talent pouring in from UGA’s 2014 recruiting class in the form of four-star recruit Lamont Gaillard,a 328-pound defensive tackle. Although UGA’s defense effectively defended against the run last year, allowing just 3.7 yards per carry, it forced just 15 turnovers last season and will look to become a more disruptive force in 2014.

Column: Embrace the NCAA playoff BY ROBBIE DUNN @redandblack The college football offseason can seem eternal. Though it spans almost eight months, fans are still consumed with college football throughout that time. National Signing Day leaves us with the anticipation of what our top recruits can become and if they can contribute immediately or need some time with a redshirt. The release of the schedule leaves us with penciling in which games we will attend — even though many of us will go to all of them — as well as the number of victories or tough games we will have. Finally, there are the annual spring practices, giving us the first real taste of college football in many months. Excitement consumes us, marking down each day of our calendars until opening kickoff. But this offseason has a different feel to it. Something that we’ve never experienced, and no one knows how it will play out. The arrival of the college football playoff is finally here. No more is the controversial system of the BCS. Let me clarify before people assume this turns into a bash and rant on the BCS: It is extremely difficult to discern which college football teams are the top-two in the nation, especially when there can be three undefeated teams before the bowl games start, and the BCS did the best it could. Usually the biggest problem with the BCS was determining which team was worthy of the second spot, as number one was often a consensus choice. That left the chance of an undefeated team with no opportunity to compete for the championship. With the new playoff, there will be a much more defined and deserving winner. Defeating two of the top-four teams in the nation in back-to-back games should dispel anyone from thinking the champion wasn’t actually the best team in that season. Although I do believe the college football playoff will be the best solution to the craziness that ensues during each season, there are still some problems. Let’s recall the main problem with the BCS: determining which team was number three. In the new playoff, the same problem might occur, except in this case it would be the number five team that feels left out. Before you laugh and think about the fact that there is always going to be a cutoff somewhere, let’s realize that there are almost two separate divisions in college football: the ‘Power 5’ Conferences of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-12, and Southeastern Conference, and then there are the
With the first College Football Playoff set for January, change is coming to college football. Courtesy Wikimedia Commons others. Now, maybe I am the only one whose mind wraps around numbers in certain ways, but when I see a group called ‘Power 5’ and a fourteam playoff, I can smell disaster coming. There are so many different possibilities that involve bad scenarios with this system. For example, what happens if every Power 5 conference has a team who is undefeated? Someone must be left out, but who will it be? What if there are two undefeated teams from the other conferences, and then four teams from the Power 5 conferences who only have one loss? Is a one-loss top-conference team still better than a weaker conference undefeated team? That is a question that’s been asked for many years, and the BCS system often had trouble answering it. Overall, the college football playoff is a revolutionary change that I think is for the best. But for those who think it will be problem-free and satisfy everyone right from the start, you may have to change your thoughts. There will probably be a few years of trial and error, and improvements will be made. Let’s face it; a sport like football where it is too vigorous to do a ‘best-of’ series will always have some questions. But the NCAA has listened, and has a new system in place that should leave people feeling even more excited for college football than in the past.

Hutson Mason expected to take over for Murray his way BY CONNOR RILEY @ConnornotKevin Last season, Georgia fans got a glimpse into what life would be like without record-setting quarterback Aaron Murray as then-junior Hutson Mason started the final two games of the season. While Mason wasn’t Murray, he wasn’t bad either and gave fans reasons to believe he could continue Georgia’s tradition of great quarterback play. Mason, now a senior, is bigger than Murray as Mason is listed at 6-foot-3 and weighs in at 209 pounds. Mason does not have the arm that Murray did, but Mason has great timing and knows when to get guys the ball. The offense will look a little different as a result of this. “Obviously, you lose a guy that was as prolific as Aaron, there is a little bit of a concern just because he’s played in so many games and experience,” offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. “But I’m very confident in Hutson who we’ve got coming back and the experience that he got last year.” In his two starts against Georgia Tech and Nebraska, Mason was 43-for-75 with 619 passing yards and three touchdown passes versus two interceptions. While not a huge sample size, it is large enough to provide an idea of what to expect from Mason. While his completion percentage was lower than desired, Mason was able to move the ball effectively with an 8.3 yards per attempt average. Mason also distributed the ball to Georgia’s wealth of receivers as nine different players caught passes from Mason in the two starts. While Bobo will still take the occasional shot down field, this offense will feature the short passing game a lot more with Mason at the helm. The offense will feature a lot of quick passes suches as slants, bubble screens and quick outs to better suit

Mason’s strengths. The short and quick passes will also help ease some pressure off an offensive line that has to replace three starters from last year’s team. Mason is a good athlete and while he does not have dynamic speed, he does have the ability to extend plays and pick up yards, much like Murray did. “We’re going to set goals and we’re going to say we want to be this and we want to score this many points,” Bobo said. “But at the end of the day, if we’re going to win 10-7 or 7-6, I really don’t care. I want to figure out the best way to win and I think our guys are that way. Utlimately we all want to score points and set records, but we want to win football games. One big difference from last year, is that there is now uncertainty at who will be the backup quarterback. Last season Mason was the unquestioned second-string quarterback, but this year there is not a clear answer as to who will back up Mason, should he not be able to play. The three candidates vying to be Mason’s understudy, and potential 2015 replacement, are redshirt sophomore Faton Bauta, redshirt freshman Brice Ramsey and freshman Jacob Park, who enrolled early and participated in spring practice. Bauta had the best spring out of the group, showing off his legs and arm as he was able to make numerous plays on the run. Ramsey has the biggest arm out of the group, but he struggled mightily in the spring game with his accuracy. Park is the best athlete out of the group but he is likely to redshirt much like Bauta, Ramsey and Mason have before him. “Every day the first time I start a meeting I talk about competition within the room,” Bobo said. “I don’t want them striving to be number two. I want them striving to be number one. I want them to want the coach to be saying we need to find a way to play this guy right now.” The blessing of Murray missing the last two games of last season was that it allowed Mason to gain valuable reps as the starting quarterback. The Georgia coaching staff was able to see Mason in high pressure situations, both the Nebraska and Georgia Tech games were one-score games, and learn what he can and can’t do. With a full offseason as the unquestioned starter, Mason should have more confidence and have improved on his weaknesses. “Hutson is the leader of this team,” senior linebacker Ramik Wilson said. “He has done a great job leading this team. We know what he can do and that
After backing up for four seasons, senior quarterback Hutson Mason is ready to cement his legacy as Georgia’s starting quarterback. JOHN ROARK/Staff he is a great quarterback. He will be just fine.” While Mason isn’t Murray he does have the tools and the weapons around him to be the next successful Georgia quarterback. “When you lose a guy like [Murray], it can be tough,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said. “The blessing for us is Hutson Mason being in the program going into his fifth season, a guy that got to watch Aaron’s work ethic, to see how he ran the off‑season program. But I think Hutson being there, us knowing Hutson is the guy, the team knowing Hutson’s the guy.”

After junior Malcolm Mitchell reinjured his knee before fall practice started, depth has once again become a concern for Georgia's receving corps. FILE/Staff
Depth instrumental for WRs BY NICK SUSS @nicksuss For the Georgia Bulldogs, one word will decide whether or not the wide receiver position lives up to its potential in 2014: depth. Ravaged by injury in 2013, Georgia’s receiving corps was forced to turn to rarely-used seniors and inexperienced former walk-ons toward the end of the season. With junior Malcolm Mitchell reinjuring his knee and junior Justin Scott-Wesley still recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered during spring practice, offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and the rest of the offensive staff seemed concerned by the production and ability of their receivers. However, before training camp began on Friday, Bobo told reporters that a lot of the issues the receivers faced in spring have been resolved due to the return of Mitchell and Scott-Wesley to at or near full mobility and the addition of the freshman class and transfers. “Obviously we’ll get Justin and Malcolm back and provide more depth,” Bobo said. “But we’ve got more depth there now.” The top of the depth chart at the receiver position will likely be a combination of three of the following four players: Mitchell, presuming he returns to health, senior Chris Conley, senior Michael Bennett and ScottWesley. Conley and Bennett combined to catch 86 passes for 1189 yards last season. Though both did fight through some minor injuries of their own, their abilities to catch the ball in the middle of the field out of the slot position and strong route-running capabilities make them strong foils to the field-stretching Mitchell.
The next tier of receivers is a combination of players who earned some playing time last season in the absence of some of the starters and players who are expected to play in a role-playing capacity. Senior Jonathon Rumph may be the most intriguing candidate to play of the receivers on the outside looking in to the starting lineup as he is both the Bulldogs’ tallest receiver at 6-foot5 and also one of the team’s faster players too. Rumph has a reputation for being an excellent target on longer fly and seam routes but still doesn’t appear to have the refined skills to run shorter, more technical routes. “He’s been itching to really make some plays and we’re ready to see what he can do,” Bennett said of his teammate. Sophomore Reggie Davis plays similarly to Rumph and is a talented deep threat, but measures at five inches shorter than Rumph and is more capable of catching passes over the middle. Redshirt sophomores Blake Tibbs and Kenneth Towns also could fit into the rotation some as both received ample reps during spring practice. “I’m not really for sure [who is going to step up] because we haven’t started practice yet seeing who’s going to kind of step up,” senior quarterback Hutson Mason said. “But every guy has the opportunity to step up as far as a senior to a freshman.” The Bulldogs’ receiving corps will benefit from the additions of four-star wide receivers Shakenneth Williams and Isaiah McKenzie and sophomore Brendan Langley, a player who had previously played cornerback for the Bulldogs. Williams is a big-bodied pass catcher while McKenzie is known for his electric kick returning skills and Langley is one of the fastest straight-ahead runners on the team.

Hunger and focus vital for volleyball BY JAYLON THOMPSON @jaylonthompson
Georgia soccer is on the upswing heading into the fall season after winning five of seven games in the 2014 spring season. TAYLOR CRAIG SUTTON/Staff
Ready to break through Georgia soccer poised to succeed BY SARAH SPENCER @sarah_k_spence After finishing 12-7-1 overall and 5-5-1 in Southeastern Conference play last season, the University of Georgia soccer team went on to win five of its seven spring games. Head coach Steve Holeman has reported a 2014 recruiting class ranked 10th in the nation and third in the SEC. Among the 12 incoming freshman are Becca Rasmussen, who was selected to the U.S. Under-18 National Team roster and posted six assists for the Bulldogs this spring, and defender Mariel Gutierrez, recently named to Mexico’s 21-player roster for the upcoming 2014 FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup. Last season, after going on a ninegame winning streak toward the beginning of the year, the Bulldogs ended on a disappointing note, losing big to rivals Florida (5-1) and South Carolina (4-0). Since Holeman took the reigns in 2010, the Bulldogs have gone 42-29-9 in the regular season and 19-19-8 in SEC play. But with three seniors, six juniors and 15 sophomores returning from the 2013 squad, 2014 may prove to be a breakthrough year. Rising
sophomore Marion Crowder, who led the team in scoring with 11 goals last season and was named the team’s offensive most valuable player, will have to build on last year’s performance for the Bulldogs to succeed in the attacking third of the field. With a plethora of new, young talent flowing in, a better SEC finish could be on the horizon. The Bulldogs look to continue Holeman’s philosophy of possession. With graduated goalkeeper Caitlyn Woody gone, who boasted 11 shutouts last season, as well as senior defenders Torri Allen and Nikki Hill, new players such as Gutierrez must rise to the occasion to keep the Bulldogs competitive. Carli Shultis, who played three seasons as an aggressive forward before making the change to defense, will be back from a foot injury that sidelined her for most of the 2013 season. In the midfield, senior Laura Eddy will return to use her final season of eligibility after suffering two anterior cruciate ligament tears during her college career. She will be joined by sophomores Gabby Seiler, Taylor Donohue and Hannah Edwards, who all bring playing time experience with them. The team begins preseason camp Aug. 6 and will play two exhibition games, one away at Clemson and one home against Auburn, before officially opening the season against Ole Miss on Aug. 22, where Holeman spent 15 years as the head coach.
Last season was a year of firsts for the University of Georgia volleyball team. The Lady Bulldogs finished with a 22-10 record and reached the first round of the NCAA tournament, setting marks that hadn’t been reached since 1994 and 2004 respectively. However, after losing in the first round of the NCAA’s, the team comes back more focused and hungry. Led by seniors Inutiraha Le’au and Lauren Teknipp, the Lady Bulldogs come into the 2014 season filled with experience. Both seniors played pivotal roles during last season’s run and look forward to repeating that same success this
season. Le’au is the returning statistical leader in set points and set attacks. Teknipp returns as a polished scorer in the lineup and a key leader to the team. Behind Le’au and Teknipp, the Lady Bulldogs feature one of the best defensive middle backs in the country in redshirt junior Jasmine Eatmon. Eatmon gained a lot of success and confidence heading after her 78 blocks during the 2013 season. It will be up to her to replace the contributions of the graduated Elena Perri. Along with Eatmon, the team features many underclassmen that are ready to fill the void left by Allison Summers and Brittany Northcutt. Sophomores Desiree McCray and Ellie McCord lead the group

that will earn more minutes and help the team recapture the success of last season. However, for the team to be successful, it will be have to be disciplined and avoid costly mistakes. Head coach Lizzy Stemke has been hard at work instilling more offensive flow to the team. This was an area of concern that caused the Lady Bulldogs to lose to American University in the NCAA tournament. It will be seen how Stemke’s work has fared as the team faces a tough non-conference schedule that includes North Carolina State and Southern Miss. This will surely test the will of the team and establish a chance for momentum heading into the Southeastern Conference play.
