“I wasn’t particularly invested in either outcome, but it was really funny to watch everybody in my dorm react. I left my door open, and you’d hear shouting and expletives from one end of the hall and ‘Yay’ from the other.”

“I just really think what this country needs right now is to return to its family values. I think that would solve a lot of problems. I hope the winning candidate places an emphasis on getting back to what America once was when it was founded.”

Isaac Hopkins Freshman English and theater major from Gainesville “I also had the opportunity to take my grandmother to vote for her 20th election...I voted because I believe it really is essential for our democracy for youth to take full reign of the direction of the country.”

Jonathan Rawls Economics major from Gwinnett County “I voted for a couple of reasons. It is a historic election in terms of policy and the direction of America. I believe it it important for our democracy to express our opinion, regardless of political affiliation.”

Ellen Catlin Senior painting major from Jacksonville, Fla. “I voted because I am from a swing state and know the importance of each vote.”

To Paul Conway, president of Generation Opportunity, the youth voters were left behind in 2008. “They essentially delivered the presidency to [Obama] four years ago,” he said. “It’s easy to forget who delivered you. And in large part, the president forgot.” The unemployment rate remained at 7.9 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, leaving many going into this election concerned about jobs. “The only way that young people will be able to get out of the status quo is if the creation of jobs

becomes the No. 1 economic priority of the next president,” Conway said. “That is the only way that people will be able to get full-time jobs that are meaningful. It’s a huge burden to the next generation.” Students soon leaving the University should concern themselves with the economic decisions to come in terms of their own livelihood, said Charles Bullock III, professor of political science at the University. “Students will later finish up their schooling and will start looking for jobs, and if you’ve got a booming economy, you are more likely to find a job,” he said. “A lot of businesses are reluctant right now to expand,

Tigers go from first to worst, Bulldogs still ‘ready’ for tussle

Georgia couldn’t stop Cam Newton. The last time the Bulldogs played in Auburn, Ala., two years ago, the eventual Heisman winner combined for 299 total yards and four touchdowns as the No. 2 Tigers won 49-31. Then again, no team was able to slow down Newton and Co. that season, as the Tigers went 14-0 and captured their first national championship since 1957. But the Tigers’ fall from the top has been swift. Two years removed from their magical national championshipwinning campaign, the Tigers enter Saturday’s tilt more paupers than princes, 2-7 overall, and winless in Southeastern Conference play. Mark Richt hasn’t been surprised by the turn of events. Georgia’s head coach said the Tigers’ tumble is an example of how difficult it is to navigate through the SEC year-to-

year. Richt pointed to his own 2010 season for comparison. That year, the Bulldogs went 6-7, their first losing season since 1996. “How much of a different team did we have than some of the teams that might have gone 10-2?” Richt said. “Probably not a whole lot different. Not making a play here or making a bad decision there as a coach or the other team just making a play that day. [Auburn’s season] is not all that mind-boggling to me because it’s just a really tough RICHT league.” Aaron Murray echoed Richt’s views. Asking a team to stay near the top of the pecking order in the SEC is an endeavor. “I don’t believe Auburn’s record reflects the talent they have on that team,” he said. “There were only one or two games they didn’t play up to their potential, but every

take on new responsibilities and invest because of this uncertainty about what is going to be happening in terms of their health care costs ... and in terms of their taxes.” Control of one’s party will be the key aspect, Bullock said, in tackling massive debt. Raising revenue will be an issue for Republicans, who must navigate budget negotiations.

other game they’ve played really well. We have to be ready.” Combine the Tigers’ talent with their season being all but over — no chance for a bowl invite once the regular season concludes — and they become a dangerous foe. With postseason dreams long since squelched, Auburn slides into a “spoiler” role for its final three contests, two coming against teams with conference and national title aspirations in Georgia and Alabama. Ruining another team’s ambitions can be a strong motivator. “When you have nothing to lose, you can throw everything you’ve got at the team you’re going against to try and upset them,” linebacker Amarlo Herrera said. “That’s your main goal in that situation — to upset their season just like your season has been upset. You always have to play hard against a team like that because they’re going to lay it all out there.”

Election Night University students gathered across Athens to participate in and watch the election.

Young Democrats celebrate after campaigning Democrat Spencer Frye won the election for State House with 70.43 percent of the votes. “We’re excited,” he said, and was interrupted for a congratulatory hug from a supporter before continuing. “We’re excited for the people of Athens. It’s a great way to end.” Frye beat Republican candidate Carter Kessler, who was running in his first election. “Mr. Kessler is a hard working man,” Frye said. “And I wish him the best of luck in the future.” Frye told The Red & Black that he’s ready to get back to work after a well-deserved break. “I think we’re going to enjoy the moment for a little while and then tomorrow morning, we’ll start studying what we need to do to make Athens an even better place than it is right now.” Keith Roberson has been working with Spencer Frye since his failed Athens mayoral run in 2010. He graduated from the University in May with a degree in political science. For Frye’s State House campaign, Roberson was the campaign coordinator, recruiting volunteers and helping with day-to-day operations. “Spencer just has a way — I don’t want to sound cheesy — of inspiring people,” he said. Roberson said Frye has a vision of increasing the Democratic voice in Athens and the state. “It’s not just what we can do for Athens-Clarke County. It’s what we can do for the state,” he said. Young Democrat Audrey Rogers said she is an advocate for the middle class, and that’s why she supports President Barack Obama. Stephanie Brownson said she wanted Obama to win because she disagrees with Mitt Romney’s policies. “Mitt Romney is planning on cutting back health coverage, and if he does that, it will devastate the economy,” said the senior health promotion major from Marietta. “So many college students are still on their parent’s health coverage.” The Young Democrats support Obama because the group agrees with what he stands for. “I want him to win because of his social policies and economic policies,” said Anthony Farajallah, a freshman political science major from Marietta. “Such as his gay rights policies, environmental protection and his view on how we should strengthen the middle class.” The Young Democrats started prepping for this election in summer by recruiting freshmen at orientation sessions, said Raven Covington, the communications director for the Young Democrats. Covington started working on her own by helping with Frye’s primary election over a 20-year incumbent. Brett Weber, the Young Democrat’s president, said the chapter as a whole doesn’t help with primaries but helped during the campaign season through phone calls and canvassing. “Gerrymandering meant that our delegation was four Republicans and one Democrat. Spencer Frye is that Democrat, so there’s a lot riding on his shoulders,” Weber said. He said he thought Frye was he best man for the job. Maggie Touchton, secretary for the Young Democrats, said the student group did some work campaigning for Frye. —Jamie Gottlieb, Helena Joseph and Jeanette Kazmierczal

Charter, leasing amendments pass BY NICK WATSON The Red & Black With 144 of 159 counties reported, both ballot amendments are passing with more than 15-percent margins. The first amendment, concerning charter schools, is supported with 58.1 percent of the vote. The second amendment, concerning multi-year leasing, has received 63.42 percent of the vote in favor. The charter amendment would ”allow state or local approval of public charter schools upon the request of local communities.” The multi-year leasing amendment would allow “the General Assembly to authorize certain state agencies to enter into multiyear rental agreements.” —Nick Watson

College Republicans cap day with party The clubhouse at the River Mill Apartments played host to the College Republicans’ election viewing party. Many members of the group were optimistic as they look at the local elections. “I feel very good about our chances in the local contests here. We have worked hard at getting out the vote today and firing up people on campus,” said Samantha Wilson, a sophomore biology major from Duluth. The day for College Republicans began the day in Tate Plaza where the group tried to build up excitement by placing Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan signs in planters and across the walkway. They handed out campaign stickers and signs to passersby. The crowd on Tuesday night was made up of mostly members of the College Republicans. However, several students ventured to the clubhouse despite having no connection to the group. With copious amounts of pizza and beverages, groups gathered around televisions watching the results. The crowd was not too surprised when Doug Collins won the contest in Georgia’s 9th Congressional District. “The district leans pretty strongly to the Republicans, so we were not too surprised. His biggest test came in the primaries. But it was good to get that win,” said Jamie Jordan, a political science major from Griffin is also the state chair of the College Republicans. —Shiv Patel

University students speaking about the results of the election said they weren’t surprised by the outcome. “I kind of felt like it was predictable,” Alexis Cordero, a freshman animal health and pre-vet major, said. “I felt like [President Barack] Obama had a good chance of winning just because he already has a strong basis.” Senior English major Richard Scott said the election turned out as he expected. “Overall, I’m happy with the result. I’m not sure it matters much either way since the office of the president and the economy are not necessarily the exact same thing given that in America, we have 350 million people and not just one guy,” Scott said. Jasmine Pruett, a freshman German education major, talked about watching the election results at her dorm. “I wasn’t particularly invested in either outcome, but it was really funny to watch everybody in my dorm react,” she said. “I left my door open, and you’d hear shouting and expletives from one end of the hall and ‘Yay’ from the other.” After the polls in Georgia closed Tuesday at 7 p.m., students walking near the University Arch reflected on the election Tuesday Sadia Hasan, a sophomore health promotions pre-med major from Buford, said she is not happy with either President Barack Obama or Republican nominee Mitt Romney. “I’ve seen the debates, and obviously Obama nailed the last one and the one before that,” Hasan said. “But as a citizen, I’m not happy with my options. If either one wins, I’ll just be like, ‘OK.’” Tyler Kimbrough talked about the importance of integrity. “I feel like when everything else falls apart, integrity and character are the only things you can depend on. We need to be able to trust whoever’s [in] office,” the junior marketing major from Stone Mountain said. Rebel Lord, a first-year anthropology and linguistics major from Dublin, said this is his first presidential election. “I just really think what this country needs right now is to return to its family values,” Lord said. “I think that would solve a lot of problems. I hope the winning candidate places an emphasis on getting back to what America once was when it was founded.” At Myers Hall, students surroundws televisions, eagerly watching the election results flooding in. “I voted because I am from a swing state and know the importance of each vote,” said Ellen Catlin, a senior painting major from Jacksonville, Fla. This is the first election that Isaac Hopkins, a freshman English and theater major from Gainesville, has been eligible to vote. “I voted because I believe it really is essential for our democracy for youth to take full reign of the direction of the country,” Hopkins said. —C.Bailey Davis, Marena Galluccio, Cailin O'Brien, Aepril Smith and Maria Torres

Partner benefits lift psychological burden By JAMIE GOTTLIEB The Red & Black Asen Kirin pays more for his family’s health insurance than other University benefitseligible employees because his family is untraditional — he has a domestic partner. The associate director at Lamar Dodd School of Art said he and his partner suffer financially due to the University’s lack of a domestic partners benefits package. The package would cover employees’ partners' health insurance — a benefit University employees’ spouses receive. “Basically, we have one choice,” he said. “Every time [my partner] needs to pay his premium, there’s an unbelievable increase [in price] and consistently, he gets less and less coverage.” Kirin said the issue is more than a financial burden — it’s a psychological one as well. “Everybody who has a family, who has a spouse, who has children is acknowledged by the University and community as someone whose life and well-being is of value and of importance,” he said. Kirin said this is not so for him. “But people like me and their partners are on a daily basis of no worth in value and have to fend for themselves,” he said. Kirin said the individual health insurance policy his partner buys is substandard compared to the policy that employees’ spouses receive. “They demand more money, and they don’t explain any of the reasons for increasing premiums,” he said. “While increasing the premium, they reduce the services.” Ricky Roberts, chair of

Asen Kirin, associate director of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, pays more for his domestic partner's health insurance than other University benefits-eligible employees do. Courtesy Asen Kirin GLOBES, a gay rights advocacy group, said the lack of the benefits package forces families to find insurance on their own — a difficulty all in itself. “When you go out on your own, it’s significantly more expensive, so these families have been burdened,” she said. “It’s not fair. It’s not just.” Kirin said because costs are so high, his partner is afraid of going to a routine doctor visit for his allergy problems. “Even a routine wellness visit is barely covered or simply not covered,” he said. This puts a financial burden on Kirin’s partner. “Now he’s hesitant to see a doctor because they will slam

‘Nothing in produce surprises’ students as recalled foods list grows BY JEANETTE KAZMIERCZAK The Red & Black Sunland Inc.’s peanut butter has disappeared from grocery store shelves, but not because of its popularity. Sunland has recalled all products made in its New Mexico facility between March 1, 2010 and Sept. 24, 2012 for potential contamination with salmonella. It is only one in a long line of recalls during the past few years, ranging from peanut butter to cantaloupe. The variety of sources for foodborne diseases is hard to grasp. Shane Barnard, a sophomore communications major from Peachtree City, told The Red & Black he had heard about the peanut butter recall, but didn’t know that cantaloupes had been associated with disease as well after the Jensen Farms outbreak last year. “Nothing in produce surprises me, as far as being recalled goes,” said Sarah Stone, a senior biology major from Hartwell. One potential reason for the increase in recalls and apparent increase in outbreaks is health officials have better equipment to track disease and identify sources. PulseNet is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention system that uses pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to make fingerprints, or molecular subtypes, of bacteria to identify specific strains of a disease organism such as salmonella. Federal, state and local health organizations contribute to the system, but it is led by the CDC. In the last five to eight years, the system has discovered several new vehicles of foodborne disease. Many of them are produce like bagged salads, sprouts and nuts, said Michael Doyle, director of the University’s Center for

him with the entire bill for it,” he said. Janet Frick is the chair of the University Council Human Resources Committee. She said the lack of a domestic partners benefits package is evident in differences in how much she pays for health insurance versus some of her colleagues. “There’s thousands of dollars of difference in compensation,” she said. Frick talked about the amount she is paid versus what employees with domestic partners are paid. “I’m paid more because my partner happens to be the opposite sex,” she said.

On Sept. 27, University Council approved the Proposal for Implementation of Full Domestic Partner Benefits for University employees, according to a previous article by The Red & Black. Frick said if the University were to implement the proposal, more than the lives of employees with domestic partners would benefit. The University’s reputation would also improve. “This is a matter of basic equity, and when you hear that message coming from the administration to correct [the] societal notion we have, that sends a powerful message,” she said. “You are valued in a very real way.” Kirin said the proposal’s approval felt both reassuring and uplifting. He noted the approval was especially reassuring because undergraduate students and his colleagues had such strong support. “Seeing the substantial number of undergraduate students are supportive and sympathetic to the struggles that people like me have has meant the world to me in a way that reassured me that obviously [remaining at the University] wasn’t the worst decision of my life,” he said. Frick said the effect of this proposal lies in several levels. It affects how people feel about themselves and how people feel about their employees. “The University doesn’t have to provide health insurance for my family — it’s a basic business practice,” she said. “But that they do it for me and not for others — that’s a discretionary practice.”

Hoping against hope for a better four years

resident Barack Obama is president, and he will be still come Jan. 20, 2013. He won handily, taking to the stage just after midnight to acknowledge his crowds. It was a nice victory speech, soaring and humble at the appropriate times. It was the commendable speech of a leader. But that made it all the more a departure from the Obama we came to know on the trail — sour, scolding, sarcastic. One line from his victory speech seemed particularly dissonant: “[The nation] moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope." After following economic indicators and the president’s myopic campaign for the better part of his term, I can’t help but wonder what kind of “hope” he thinks has so enraptured the American people. Is it hope of the “I hope I don’t have to move into a shantytown” variety? Or hope of the “I hope Mitt Romney isn’t a reptilian warlord disguised as a preppy New Englander like the media tells me” variety? Obama spoke of hope as a positive, aspirational force. But most of what I have seen the past few months is of the opposite variety — the kind that says simply, “I hope to God the Other Guy doesn’t win.” The despairing mood of a foundering country rewarded small ball, pugilistic politicking, and the Obama administration and its surrogates lowered themselves to the task with gusto. Thus was born a narrative: Mitt Romney as the sum of all fears. This, of course, is an absurd argument to level against a milquetoast, moderate, mildly-successful Massachusetts governor. A Mormon, at that. So of course its furtherance led to absurdities. Like Mitt Romney the woman-hater. He locks them away in binders back in the 1950s, don’t you know. He consorts with Todd Akin in the woods at midnight. But it worked. Prior to their debate successes, the Republicans played a dirty game, too. Nothing I said above should be construed to pardon the GOP’s nastiness and lies. They’re very real. So consider this an indictment of an increasingly repellent facet of our politics — the replacement of debate with demonization; where demonization is impossible, derision. This is a facet President Obama has contributed to, dealt with and will undoubtedly deal with in his second term. Even if you disagree with the man, you should hope he’s up to the challenge this time around. That’s hope of the American variety. — Blake Seitz is the opinions editor of The Red & Black

Liberalism’s proud history culminates in second term

here is a mirror of the famously conservative Orange County, Calif., on America’s eastern seaboard: it’s called Oconee County, and it’s less than 10 miles south of Athens. The reason I know this is because I have lived there for 15 of the 19 years I’ve been alive. And it’s relevant to me because, as a Democrat, it’s so hard to feel at home, well, at home. In school, it wasn’t that politics wasn’t talked about — there was certainly discussion. But the only place you’d find openly liberal conversation was in the safe haven of the Young Democrats meeting room. Everywhere else, there was a constant stream of “socialist” this or “Muslim” that — unhindered and unashamed (but typically ignorant) criticism of the person, not the president, that is Barack Obama. Needless to say, I embraced college with open arms. So now, I’m not ashamed to say that I am a liberal Democrat. If anything, I’m grateful to identify with a political ideology that was born out of some of the most memorable revolutions in history and that supports the right of individuals to make their own choices against any and all institutions, from God to the state. I’m proud to identify with a party that advocates civil rights for all people while at the same time demanding justice from those who jeopardize our democracy. The facts are these: the presidential election was a triumph for progress. The reforms of the last four years — on which this election was a referendum — have been validated. The economy, while still lacking momentum, has begun to show signs of life. The question of whom the burden of funding our nation should fall on has been decided — it should fall on those who are most capable of giving economic assistance.

Obama victory earns mandate to something

Timothy Moore Guest Columnist

The number of people with access to health care has been undeniably expanded. Across multiple states, gays and lesbians have received more civil opportunity in one day than perhaps in any other point in American history. With recent gains made against terrorists abroad, the nation is safer than ever, and our international image is more tolerable. And, perhaps most importantly of all, this election has vindicated the principle that constant and blatant lying will not reward candidates with the highest office in this great nation. If there is one more group of people I have to voice my support for, it has to be everybody who voted, either on Election Day or via early voting. As I’m sure you know, we now have a Democratic president and Senate and a Republican House of Representatives, just like before. But there is a different mandate this time: bipartisanship. We can choose to struggle through the next (at least) two years just the same as the last two, or we can choose to compromise and take what we can get for the betterment of the country. This is how democracy works, whether we agree with it or not. If I’ve made you sick from reading this, feel free to jump off here. If not: four more years!

resident Barack Obama won his reelection campaign, and it wasn’t really close. Obama won big in the urban voting districts of south Florida, giving him a small victory in the Sunshine State, along with a win in Ohio and an ever more Democratic Virginia. The only swing state Romney was able to win was North Carolina, and the fact that North Carolina is even considered a swing state is a testament to the Democrat’s electoral juggernaut. Last night’s results are a thorough rebuke of what the Republicans are offering, and they have a good bit of reorganizing to do before the midterm elections of 2014. An AP exit poll found that more voters believe that George Bush is responsible for our nation’s economic problems than the current U.S. president, which will allow David Axelrod to continue finishing his every sentence with “After inheriting the worst economy since the Great Depression...” until the day he dies. After running a reelection campaign utterly devoid of any substantive second term policy platform, it is unclear where Democrats will go from here. Elizabeth Warren will be a big star for the Democrats, and a comfortable margin in the Senate will allow for a few policy initiatives. What the Democrats will pursue is anyone’s guess. What is almost guaranteed to result is a country $20, perhaps even $25, trillion dollars deeper in debt, a tax code based on “fairness” and not efficiency and an anemic foreign policy. The results of this election are certainly a rejection of the Republican’s conservative message, but exactly what voters have affirmed is anyone’s guess.

UGA Young Democrat wins election prediction map contest The winning map (a perfect map, moreover) was submitted by Alex Rowell, a sophomore from Valdosta majoring in economics and international affairs. Rowell is the political director for the UGA Young Democrats. He frequents Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight Blog, The Huffington Post and Pollster for political news. “Florida was the one thing I was shaky on,” Rowell said. “When I went to the GeorgiaFlorida game, I saw the ground game and how many doors had been knocked on, and I thought it would put us over the edge. It was a gut call and kind of a pride call because [Young Democrats] had put in so much work on Florida. We made about 4,000 calls to Florida.” Congratulations, Alex — you’re $20 richer. —Lindsey Cook

ell, my prediction was correct — Ohio was the final state to determine the outcome of this election. But I could’ve told you that in middle school. Per my other prediction, I was too kind to Libertarian Gary Johnson. He didn’t even break 1 percent of the vote. But now let's turn to things that mattered about the election.

“compromise” candidate — a moderate who will supposedly draw in more votes by being the “least unattractive” of the two candidates. Twice they have lost. And they will continue to lose. A man with principles — no matter how abhorrent — will always beat a man with none. Americans do not want a moderate. They want a man who stands for something. Anything. President Obama stands for something. It isn’t individual rights. It is time for the Republicans to abandon their appeals to folksy, religious-driven ruralism, which only produce candidates like Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin. True, their choice of a Massachusetts equity firm partner moved away from that, but it exchanged one problem for another. Although Republicans should embrace their label of being the pro-business party, this does not mean nominating businessmen who do not defend the things which make businessmen successful: free markets, respect for individual rights, a rejection of altruism, etc. In any case, the country remains on AC/ DC’s “Highway to Hell,” and we just passed the last exit for another four years. In the meantime, I’ll just look forward to the Red Dawn remake. — Brian Underwood is a junior from Evans majoring in political science and history

irst, let me open with an extension of extraordinary respect to President Barack Obama. I freely admit that I underestimated the Obama campaign’s turnout operation. I never thought 2012 Democratic turnout would match — and often exceed — the historic turnout of 2008. Although I was rooting for former Governor Mitt Romney, I congratulate the President on his reelection and hope the next four years are more productive than the last. Let me first address my thoughts on the Republican side, before looking forward to the future. The Republican Party is unsustainable — and it should be. Given the conditions surrounding the President’s reelection, it should have been a prime opportunity to oust an incumbent president. But the Republican primary was a circus, and Republicans need to recognize that. Conservatives in my Twitter feed were down on Romney immediately following the call for Obama. Moderate Mitt couldn’t win. Too liberal. Perhaps. But who else would have been better? Rick Santorum? Newt Gingrich? Rick Perry? I shudder at the thought. Election night would have been less stressful, at least. Ron Paul piques my curiosity. I like some of his ideas and I admire his ability to stand up to the RNC establishment. The bench for 2016 looks more promising than this year’s crop. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will have more experience in his chamber, as will Texas Senator-elect Ted Cruz. New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez will be a two-term governor. Notice what they all have in common? They’re Hispanic Republicans. I don’t particularly like identity politics. I think ideas should stand or fall on their intrinsic merit, not on the appearance of the person espousing the ideas. But old white men have been the face of the GOP, nationally speaking, for too long. And GOP ideas are not particularly popular, as we found out last night. Most voters can’t identify with someone like Mitt Romney. He’s extraordinarily wealthy and successful — I applaud that — but he doesn’t look like a guy who understands you. Barack Obama is also a successful multimillionaire — I applaud that too — but he seems to get you. If Republicans want to move forward (oh the irony), they need fresh

faces and fresh ideas. They need to be open and honest about their shortcomings. This, in a way, is a rare and exciting chapter of politics because we get the uncommon opportunity to pull back the curtain on all the electoral rah-rah and look at the RNC. Party officials will have to go on the record and explain what went wrong and what needs to change. I relish the thought of such honesty and look forward to it. As for the governing coalition ahead of us, I look forward to less vitriol. That might be wishful thinking, but Obama never faces the ballot box again — relax, conservatives — and I hope he takes a more positive leadership role going forward. I look forward to productive solutions on tax reform, immigration reform and other important issues. Our federal tax code is 3.8 million words long. Tax preparation collectively costs six billion hours and $160 billion each year. Obscure loopholes are far too prevalent. Immigration policy is in need of reform as well. We allow talented students from other countries to come here and get a graduate education in important STEM fields. I like this. But then their student visas run out and we send them back home, where they’ll start companies and create jobs. How dumb is that? Countless other issues abound. Our nation is strong enough to improve on our problems if we can muster the courage to confront them honestly in the first place. President Obama has proven his resilience in the face of adversity. Perhaps we should follow his example: work hard, stick it out and look forward to better days. In sum, I thank Gov. Romney for stepping up to challenge the President. Respectful dissent has been, and always will be, an act of patriotism. And I congratulate President Obama on his reelection, and, with renewed respect for his vision, look forward to four years better than the last four. Here’s to you, Mr. President. — Sam Hempel is a junior from Atlanta majoring in economics

ast night the pundits on CNN and Fox may have been keeping an eye out for results in key counties like Cuyahoga County in Ohio and Hillsborough County in Florida, but my eye was on Douglas County right here in Georgia. This has been my home in America for over a decade. My parents and three dogs still live comfortably in a calm, suburban Douglas neighborhood. So why is Douglas County important? It went blue. I was a senior in high school when Obama was running for election the first time. Not old enough to vote, I donated to the Obama campaign and got a button. I displayed it on my purse proudly. I got into a lot of debates that year. Yet somehow, despite McCain’s best attempt, the Obama campaign sold its message of hope and change and easily won the presidency. As any person not living under a rock in America knows, Obama’s victory last Tuesday was not so easy. As it did in 2008, Georgia went to Mitt Romney early and by a wide margin, and I was upset.

Ana Kabakova

Guest Columnist

But then I saw it. Douglas County, with 100 percent of precincts reporting, had gone blue. Obama had eked out a victory with 51.5 percent of the vote, a mere 2,000 more ballots than Romney. I was shocked and delighted, but I was also confused. Wasn’t my county in the middle of the South? Wasn’t there a car dealership around every corner and a Romney sticker on the bumper of every SUV? I looked at the demographics: 52.5 percent white, 39.5 percent black or African American, 0.3 percent Native American, 1.4 percent Asian and 2.4 percent from two or more races. I looked at the median income: $50,798. Unemployment rate: 9 percent. Hmm. Maybe the Obama campaign had put in extra effort there? I called my Mom Wednesday morning to ask if there had been extra signs,

canvassing or anything else unusual relating to the campaign. She said she didn’t think so. Finally, I was pleasantly stumped. If my unapologetically right-leaning metro-Atlanta county is taking the time to rethink its politics and move left (even if it’s just a nudge), maybe the rest of America is as well. Tuesday night showed us that America is becoming more progressive: same-sex marriage and marijuana decriminalization passed in several states. There were many firsts: the first openly gay woman, the first AsianAmerican woman and the first disabled woman were elected to the Senate. While there is, by necessity, a place in our country for both right and left-leaning politics, I think that the progress we’re seeing in modern political races shows that America, as a whole, is rethinking what it stands for. — Ana Kabakova is a senior from Douglasville majoring in English and Russian

Dawgs After Dark events cost average of $37,665 each, more than $300K annually BY CAILIN O’BRIEN The Red & Black University Union hosts Dawgs After Dark to offer a “free” alternative to drinking downtown or partying for students. “[The funding for Dawgs After Dark] comes from student activity fees,” said Elizabeth Hansen, assistant director of student activities at University Union. “It’s always free for students, but we do charge for nonstudents. We only charge about $5, but that does help our budget as well.” Dawgs After Dark used $301,316 of student activity fee money to operate during fiscal year 2011, according to information obtained by The Red & Black. With eight events a year, that means the average Dawgs After Dark event costs approximately $37,665. Students pay $52 in activity fees yearly. But junior advertising and sociology major Brian Alsobrook said he did not know any portion of his student activity fee went to Dawgs After Dark. “I assumed the school paid for it,” he said. Alsobrook said he has attended four or five Dawgs After Dark events, mainly in his freshman and sopho-

more years. “It was something to do,” Alsobrook said. “When I first showed up ... It was a good way to meet people.” While Hansen has seen an “awesome” increase in upperclassmen at the monthly event, mostly first-year students attend Dawgs After Dark, she said. “The first semester that you’re here, you’re still trying to meet new people,” she said. “Dawgs After Dark is a great way to do fun activities. You can show up with friends or you can go by yourself and still have a really great time.” Alsobrook and other upperclassmen still spend approximately $8.50 on the program, whether they attend it or not. But Alsobrook said he does not mind the extra cost. “I understand kind of why it’s there,” he said. “It’s only on Friday nights, so it’s trying to keep people — particularly underclassmen — from doing things downtown where they might be drinking.” University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said Dawgs After Dark does not cut down on underage drinking crimes downtown, but the monthly programming does offer an alterna-

Hansen said students also have the chance to help plan monthly activities to determine where they would like to see their money go. Such a committee within the University Student Union plans each monthly Dawgs After Dark event, but Hansen said the ideas for the events often come from students outside the

organization. “It’s a totally student-run process, and we love to get feedback from people,” she said. “We do surveys at our events, too, so even if people don’t come to the committee meetings they can have their input on the surveys or on Facebook or anything like that.”

ACC Police, UGA Police each received 14 formal complaints in 2011 By CAILIN O’BRIEN The Red & Black Athens-Clarke County residents filed 14 formal complaints against Athens-Clarke County Police from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2011, according to a framed public notice found on the wall of the department’s Lexington Road location. In 2011, University Police also received 14 complaints. ACC Police makes all this information available to ensure the public that the police are holding themselves accountable, said Detective Kevin Hooks of the Professional Responsibilities Division. “It’s the general consensus of the public,” Hooks said. “Sometimes, people think the police are not going to police the police, so to say. We’re showing that police officers sometimes go out there and make some boneheaded mistakes.” Hooks and the ACC Police have been investigating formal complaints and posting them as a “public notice” for “as long as [Hooks] can remember,” he said. University Police do not post their formal complaints publicly, but it would if students asked, said University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson. “We track our complaints and compliments both, but we don’t put them on a plaque or anything,” he said. “We just don’t get that many.” In fact, Williamson said over “the past couple years, [their] compliments outnumbered [their] complaints.” Out of University Police’s 14 complaints in 2011, eight concerned how the officer handled

the situation and two dealt with the thoroughness of an officer’s investigation. Four people complained about the University Police towing illegally parked cars. But in 2011, University Police also received 46 compliments for teaching safety, protecting the public and helping people out of dangerous situations. The ACC Police do not post compliments or informal complaints on its public notice,

Hooks said. “Those are the actual formal complaints against officers where a complainant actually signed an affirmation basically stating that if they’re not telling the truth, we can come after them civilly,” he said. Of the 14 formal complaints filed in 2011, there were five excessive force complaints, eight rule violation complaints and one communications personnel complaint. Ten out of ACC

Police’s 14 formal complaints were “not sustained,” meaning the investigation into the incident either turned up nothing or the complainant failed to cooperate with the police. “Sometimes, people are just mad,” Hooks said.

Banks ‘taking advantage’ of debit card affiliation BY CAILIN O’BRIEN The Red & Black Kelsey Butterworth owns the University Bank of America debit card — but she said she had no idea the card paid the school in any way. “When I opened up my Bank of America checking account before I came to college, they asked if I wanted a special debit card,” said the junior music business major. “They had a little catalogue. I thought, ‘Well, since I’m going to UGA, I’ll just choose the one with the ‘G.’’” The University may be taking financial advantage of students by allowing Bank of America to offer a debit card decorated with a “G” that pays the University, said Christine Lindstrom, higher education project director of United States Public Interest Research Groups. “Banks and other financial firms are taking advantage of a variety of opportunities to form partnerships with colleges and universities,” according to a report released by U.S. PIRG in May entitled The Campus Debit Card Trap. The Red & Black discovered an addendum added on June 1, 2010 to a contract between the previously active Arch Foundation and Bank of America that created a campus-affiliated debit card. The addendum was added to an already existing “affinity agreement” the University had with Bank of America beginning June 30, 1999, according to documents obtained by The Red & Black. It was signed by Cindy Coyle, executive director of the University Foundation. The addendum described a debit card provided to students through Bank of America that pays the University each time a student opens an account connected to the “G” debit card. Nobody explained to Butterworth that the University receives $2 for each new checking account opened with at least $50 in it and an additional $1 for every account that still has at least $50 in it a year later, according to the addendum. “Basically, what [the contract] is saying is that the University is making money,” Lindstrom said. “And if the contract is really bad, the University is making money every time a student pays one of those penalty fees.”

Bank of America offers a debit card decorated with a “G” that pays the University. c.b. schmelter/Staff But the University does not profit off fees students may acquire on their accounts, according to the addendum. Lindstrom said U.S. PIRG still does not condone the University’s relationship with Bank of America. “We still have a problem with your school dealing with Bank of America that way because Bank of America wants to get onto campus to get as many students as possible to open accounts with them,” she said. “Bank of America has a long-term interest in gaining you as a customer.” The Red & Black was unable to reach Bank of America for comment. Lindstrom said the University should strictly monitor the bank’s interest in students instead of choosing to partner with the bank that can provide the most money to the school. “UGA should say, ‘Fine, if you want to market to our students, take out that penalty fee and take out this and give them overdraft protection and don’t charge them with that,’” she said. “But instead, they’re not doing that at all. They’re just going, ‘Oh, cool. Bank of America gave us 100K. Citizens Bank would only give us 10K, so let’s go with Bank of America.’” The Red & Black could not find anybody at the University willing or able to talk on the record about

the contract. However, an anonymous University employee in the Division of External Affairs said the contract is not harmful because students are given the choice about whether to use Bank of America. Once students become Bank of America customers, they are then given the option of deciding whether they use the University-affiliated debit card. But both Butterworth and junior public affairs major Katherine Sims told The Red & Black that nobody explained to them that the card benefitted the University or that it was different than a normal debit card. “I had to go to apply for a debit card or whatever, and that’s just the one they gave me. I didn’t even have an option,” Sims said. “I wanted the regular one, but the lady was like, ‘Oh, so you’re a UGA student? We’ve got this new card. Here, I’ll give it to you.’” Butterworth and Sims’ experiences were not out of the usual pattern for banks, Lindstrom said. She said even with the “optional” cards, “the majority of the student body” will have one of the cards “within a very short period of time.” “The reason for that has to be one of two things,” Lindstrom said. “Either students are going, ‘Oh my god, this is such a good deal. Wow.’ The other reason is because in fact, the marketing is set up in a way that the students feel compelled to get the card.” U.S. PIRG’s report said Universities and banks should avoid “push marketing.” “Given that the campus card has already been chosen by the college ... there must be strong rules to avoid push marketing,” according to the study. “Students should be able to opt in or out of the university-sponsored debit card program through the campus itself, rather than making the option through provider-sponsored venues.” But while Butterworth and Sims may have been “pushed” into receiving their University endorsed cards, neither student cared that they had been benefiting the school without their knowledge. The University’s agreement with Bank of America will end and be up for review June 20, 2013, according to the addendum.

Freshmen make mark in politics even before voting age by campaigning The voting age may be 18, but anyone can get involved with political campaigns. Two freshmen took a step into the world of politics well before they could sign an official ballot. William Johnson worked as a volunteer for the Roy Barnes campaign in 2010 when Barnes ran for a second term as Georgia’s governor. “It was a really great experience for me. I always knew I wanted to get involved with a political campaign from a pretty young age. And it seemed like the right place to start,” said the freshman political science major from Douglasville. For Justin Smith, the campaign to re-elect U.S Sen. Johnny Isakson was a vehicle to engage the people in his community. “I went around the city and handed out brochures to anybody who was willing to listen,” said the freshman economics major from Albany. “Volunteering with the campaign gave me an inside look at the political process that most don’t get to see. I learned that the biggest part of the campaign was engaging people at a street level. It was about talking to people.” — Shiv Patel

Terry Professor in 2nd place for business professor of the year At first, University finance professor Mark Laplante didn’t think his nomination for Economist Intelligence Unit’s Business Professor of the Year Award was real. He thought the email alert, which mentioned a monetary prize, was just spam. But he recognized the name of the student who nominated him and realized the email might not be a scam. He Googled the competition and did some research, and only then did he believe the competition was “legit.” Laplante is in sec-

ond place for the voting portion of the competition falling behind the first place candidate by eight votes as of press time. “We have a lot of good professors at Georgia, but this is for someone who teaches business in large lectures, does it well and inspires,” said Jeff Netter, acting department head for banking and finance. “That criterion fits Dr. Laplante perfectly.” — Erica Techo

VARIETY Thursday, November 8, 2012 Creating successful Dawgs After Dark events Student-run committee finds swag, manages time BY HANNAH REISS The Red & Black Dawgs After Dark is a production. But for those involved, the work is worth the effort. Each event Dawgs After Dark puts on has been in the works for months. With the exception of the annual November carnival, the Dawgs After Dark committee decides the theme for each event the semester before it happens. Katie AliFarhani, the Dawgs After Dark student coordinator, said after deciding on the theme for the

night, the committee next decides which activities to have. They then contact Interactive Attractions, an Atlanta-based company which supplies many of the inflatables and games so integral to Dawgs After Dark. “We have a good relationship with them,” AliFarhani said. “We’ve been with them for a while and they usually give us a discount.” As student coordinator since this past January, AliFarhani said she spends 10 to 15 hours a week planning for Dawgs After Dark. Despite the method, there is occasionally madness. This October’s Dawgs After Dark event was held following Basketbash. AliFarhani said the volunteers had to run around to set up in time for the crowd. “I try to say that things don’t necessarily go wrong — they just don’t always go as planned,” AliFarhani said.

The Red & Black

Some Dawgs After Dark events, such as the yearly Homecoming Carnival, take up to a year of planning, including coming up with themes and booking activities. Dawgs After Dark coordinators usually work with the same company to provide rides and games. ERIN SMITH/Staff “I’m a planner, but it’s always good to have a creative solution, a back up plan.” AliFarhani’s studies as a communications major help her in her role as student coordinator. “[Any problems] usually stem from miscommunication, and that’s why I try to bring my major in and make sure everyone knows what’s going on,” she said.

Dawgs After Dark is an essential part of AliFarhani’s life. “My world actually revolves around Dawgs After Dark,” she said. “I want to be an event planner, and I love the purpose of Dawgs After Dark — it’s for students to have fun in an environment where they don’t have to go downtown or go to some party. It’s familiar, since it’s

at UGA, so it already has that sense of community.” AliFarhani also brings in her frugal side whenever she can. “I try to save as much money as possible,” she said. “We have saved a lot of money this year through having volunteers.”

Student activists struggle to balance work, protest BY HILARY BUTSCHEK The Red & Black Heather Hatzenbuhler works a full-time job, but she doesn’t get paid. Hatzenbuhler is a full-time student and a full-time student activist on the executive board of the UGA Student Sierra Coalition, the largest youth environmental organization in the U.S. The senior environmental economics and management major from Lawrenceville also has a part-time job at Alice Depass Studio of Dance. “This organization has been my life for three years,” Hatzenbuhler said. Hatzenbuhler fights for the environment by discussing alternatives to coal as a fuel source on campus with University officials and President Michael Adams. Katie Bridges, executive board member for the University’s chapter of Amnesty International, fights for human rights issues around the world and focuses on raising awareness on campus. Both have been committed to their causes since the beginning of their college careers and contributed to the rise of their organizations. First, Hatzenbuhler signed a petition against coal use on campus, then before long she was the one protesting in Tate Plaza and handing out petitions to be signed. By fall of 2011 the group was given student organization status and a cubicle. Now, it has an office. “We thought that was a really big deal,” Hatzenbuhler said. “It speaks a lot to the importance of the work we do and the dedication we show.” She’s more committed to the cause than to her school work, and it’s led Hatzenbuhler to make some sacrifices. “I feel like I’ve kept an OK balance, but I do always feel like I’m dropping one thing,” Hatzenbuhler said. The past two years Hatzenbuhler has had to drop a class because the professors were unwilling to work with her over an end of the year trip to the United Nations Framework

Convention on Climate Change. “To me, it’s worth it to work with people around the globe to talk about environmental solutions,” Hatzenbuhler said. For Bridges, the shift towards activism has paralleled a more personal journey. Because she was affected by activism, she affects others through her work with Amnesty. “Throughout my freshman year I was still kind of really if-y in Amnesty, but as far as taking a stand on an issue I was still trying to figure out my footing,” Bridges said. “It wasn’t until my sophomore year that I realized it’s OK to take a stand on these things. It’s OK to be pro-gay rights. It’s OK to be anti-death penalty and really take a stand on those things.” After growing up with a conservative, Christian background, Bridges began to think more about issues such as gay rights and the death penalty. She realized she had exactly the opposite view than what she had been brought up with. Her involvement in Amnesty helped her solidify her opinion. “I really felt an obligation in a sense the more I learned and the more I got involved,” Bridges said. Later, Bridges adopted an atheist religious view and came out as a lesbian. “Looking back I see how [coming out as a lesbian] did fuel me and how that was really important in my activism and in my learning about activism,” Bridges said. Both Hatzenbuhler and Bridges have let their work with their activism change their lives and their schedules. Hatzenbuhler spends up to 40 hours or more each week working on various things for the student group from meeting planning to manning a table in Tate to holding awareness events. “It’s a full-time job,” Hatzenbuhler said. “It’s really hard for me to quantify the time I spend with it because I’m always thinking about it, but I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it.” Bridges said she thinks awareness is the most important issue for an activist organization, but it’s also the hardest.

“The problem with activism on a college campus is it has to be a constant reminder like this is going on you can do this you can do that,” Bridges said. It’s a common theme among student leaders and activists for the organization they are involved in to take over their life, but both student leaders believe it's worth it. “In my opinion, I could have spent the last three years totally concerned with myself and what’s best for me, but I feel like that gets us into that same value system that’s let us down in the environment and in the economy,” Hatzenbuhler said. “It’s so much more satisfying to do something collectively with other people to improve society than working on myself.” Bridges focuses more on individual members. She sees a problem with the way people view human rights in today’s world. “A lot of the original beliefs I held kind of fuel what I do now because people are so mis-educated,” Bridges said. “That’s kind of my motivation because I don’t want anyone else to go through that. I don’t want anyone to look back and be like I really wish I would have known this.” To these student leaders activism isn’t about waving the signs and shouting, it’s about the bigger picture – the fight. “I remember the night of the execution of Troy Davis,” Bridges said. “It was really emotional, but I think I distinctly remember there were about four black women there singing ‘We Will Overcome,’ singing old hymns I didn’t know, and I was just thinking about all the people who had worn the ‘I Am Troy Davis’ shirts, just thinking that this isn’t really over. It happened with Trayvon Martin case, this happened with all the racial discrimination, with all the immigration problems in the United States. It’s just that this isn’t a Troy Davis case. This is a bigger case. It’s not about Troy Davis it’s about everyone else who has the same story.”

Professors, students turn Ecology pond into Appalachian music hot spot BY SARAH ANNE PERRY The Red & Black Twice a week, music comes from the pond outside of the Ecology building. Jim Wilson, a professor in the department of mathematics education, has played by the pond for at least eight years, but he said groups have been informally meeting there for longer. Although masses of students rush hurriedly by the ring, they seldom stop. “Some of them, it looks like they speed up to get by quicker,” Wilson said. “But for the most part, they smile. Some come and listen for just a little while and go on, ‘cause they’re all busy. For the most part, this is a heavy traffic area, and people are busy, and they barely look up.” That’s alright with the musicians, though. “Honestly, I’m not here to enter-

I prefer, actually, two or three.” Buckley had just arrived for his first session with the group, a testament to the location’s status as a long-time jam spot. Any musician with an instrument and an affinity for mountain music is welcome. The group is unaffiliated with the School of Music, and no particular department is more represented than others, Wilson said.

Wilson’s musicianship began in childhood. He learned the fiddle and mandolin in Kansas, then picked up the guitar in adolescence. He used music to pay his way through college, though he never played professionally. Music continued to shape his life. In the 1950s, Wilson drove one of his bandmates back and forth to visit his girlfriend. Eventually the bandmate married the girl and her sister became Wilson’s wife. Buckley, too, began playing in childhood. He picked up banjo from his dad, though his primary instrument was guitar..

Classic City buskers serenade downtown for enjoyment, survival BY SARAH ANNE PERRY The Red & Black Clayton Street homes not just stores, but street performers. Nicholas Ridout is an import from Nashville, Tenn. He played banjo in a band called Spit Shine, then hopped freight trains from Missoula, Mont. and hitchhiked to get to Athens. Attesting to this fact is the DIY tattoo of train tracks on his wrist. A few days a week, he sits in front of Mellow Mushroom plucking at his banjo, with his dog Wesson at his feet. Down the street, Athenians often spot a juggler. Clad head-to-toe in pink spandex on Thursday afternoon, this busker preferred not to be identified by name. Instead, he remained in character. “My name is Felix the Cat,” he said while juggling lemons. “I am working under a professional clown as an apprentice. He is the boss clown, and I am his little henchman. We meet in magical places, and he drops me off here downtown in a Model T Ford.” Felix hails down pedestrians, offering free juggling lessons and saying odd but uplifting things. He performs in College Square several times a week. Last week, he was dressed as a skunk, but Thursday, he was the Pink Panther. At night, bar-hoppers might spot another performer in College Square: guitarist and singer Donald Keesing. Keesing, known at open mic nights and on the Internet as Donkee Tonk, has been making music for 30 years.

He was a choir boy at 10-yearsold, but became a part of the D.C. punk scene before pursuing country music. Keesing came to Athens after spending time in other music towns like Nashville, Tenn.; Charlottesville, Va.; and Asheville, N.C. Keesing and Ridout, who have performed on the street and in venues throughout the U.S., have both experienced a warm reception from passersby. “It’s my second time in Athens, and I love this town,” Ridout said. “It’s a very nice, quiet town. A lot of people just keep walking, but I’ve been very well accepted here and whatnot. Met a lot of great people, and people have been very generous.” Keesing said that he too feels welcomed by Athens locals. “They’re comfortable in their skin in Athens, and they’re not trying to impress people too much,” he said. “I like that. They just are themselves. Even the hipster kids aren’t obnoxious here; they’re laid back, you know.” And, said Keesing, motivation is key. “It’s joy,” he said. “I never play a song I’m not feeling. I really love playing those rolling sets and decompressing at the Waffle House afterwards. It is joy, and yeah, I think if you don’t feel it, you shouldn’t do it. You can’t sell a song you’re not feeling. I mean, people can tell what you’re feeling. If I’m not feeling it, I shut the case and leave.”

“I’ve played guitar throughout my career of losing money playing music,” he said. “I don’t ever make money.” Money is not the object – these people are not your downtown buskers. The appeal lies in the community the music creates. “I think it’s a primal thing to make music,” Buckley said. “Most folks don’t get to do that because it’s always around them, and it might not occur to them that they could just play it themselves.”

The Red & Black

Sudden, sad ending to Marlon Brown’s resurgent senior season BY RYAN BLACK and JACOB DEMMITT The Red & Black With a heavy heart, Georgia head coach Mark Richt announced Sunday that wide receiver Marlon Brown’s career had come to a close. Richt confirmed Brown tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and though he is expected to make a full recovery, the senior has played his last snap as a Bulldog. Georgia Sports Communications said in a release that Brown’s surgery will take place at a “yet-tobe determined date,” with team orthopedic surgeons performing the procedure. Richt noted “it’s an injury people recover from well,” and Brown’s future pro career likely won’t be negatively affected. That didn’t make it any easier for Richt to handle. “We’re just very sad and sorry that it hap-

pened for Marlon and for Georgia,” Richt said. “It’s just a hard thing to swallow right now.” The injury occurred during the third quarter of Saturday’s victory over Ole Miss, at the end of a 30-yard reception by Brown. Richt said in his postgame press conference he didn’t believe the tackle leading to the tear was dirty, and hadn’t had time to pore over the play Sunday. “We didn’t sit there and just labor over that,” he said. At the time of the injury, Brown had a team-high three catches for 113 yards against the Rebels, including a 66-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Richt said Brown handled news well considering the circumstances. “Obviously no one enjoys to hear that kind of news. It’s not good news, but Marlon’s a man now,” Richt said. “He’s not a boy any-

CAREER STATS 2012: 27 catches for 469 yards, four touchdowns. 2011: 15 catches for 234 yards, three touchdowns. 2010: 11 catches for 133 yards, and one touchdown. 2009: Two catches for 15 yards

more, he’s a man.” Brown’s ACL tear is the second season-ending knee injury to hit Georgia’s receiving corps. Redshirt sophomore Michael Bennett tore his ACL during practice in the first week of October. Like Brown, Bennett was also leading the team in receptions at the time. Richt admitted yet

another blow to the unit will be a challenge for the remaining receivers to overcome. “Marlon and Michael were just two outstanding football players,” he said. “At the time of the injuries, they’re both leading the team in receptions and have a nice physicality to them as well at that position. We’ll miss that.” News of Brown’s season ending injury sent a shockwave through the Georgia locker room. But for some, the troubling news was also an opportunity. As coaches shuffle players around to fill in the holes, a few unfamiliar faces will be spending more time on the field. One name popping up is Justin ScottWesley, a lightning-fast redshirt sophomore with just one catch in his young Georgia career. “He’s a guy that really doesn’t have any experience but he doesn’t let that effect him,” said junior wide receiver Rantavious Wooten. “He’s been waiting. Right now, this is his time." To Scott-Wesley, the chance to show what he can do can’t come fast enough. “You’re [always] one play away from being on the field,” he said. “Even some games when I knew I wasn’t

Wide receiver Marlon Brown saw his career finish sadly after sustaining an ACL injury against Ole Miss last Saturday. He is expected to recover fully, but has lost playing eligibility. WES BLANKENSHIP/Staff getting some playing time, I was still in there watching film just in case a guy went down or two guys went down." After declaring his commitment to Georgia on the winners podium at a state track meet in 2010, Scott-Wesley has done everything he can to shed the stigmas attached to being the fast guy — almost. “People really didn’t

acknowledge my skills as a receiver so I just have to show people I’m a football player,” he said, wearing his Georgia track sweatshirt. “Day in and day out I show people I’m more than just a fast guy. I catch the ball, I can take a hit, I can give a hit, I can block.”

From denial to rehabilitation Michael Bennett reflects on ACL injury, season BY JACOB DEMMITT The Red & Black Athletes use a variety of words to describe the sound an ACL makes when it tears. Some say it’s a burst, others call it an explosion. But according to Georgia wide receiver Michael Bennett, it’s just two simple “pops.” “I could hear them clear as day. I asked everybody else if they heard them, they said no. But I heard them. I heard them pop and I knew that couldn’t be good,” Bennett told The Red & Black in his first media interview since an ACL injury signaled an early end to his 2012 season on Oct. 2. There’s no need to look far for reminders of the unpredictable nature of football. South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore texted Bennett earlier in October, offering support after Bennett suffered the season-ending knee injury. Lattimore could relate because he had suffered a similar fate when he tore his left ACL in 2011. Three weeks later, Lattimore was back on the sidelines — this time, with a right knee injury. Meanwhile, Bennett had led the Bulldogs in receptions (24), receiving yards (345) and touchdowns (four) through the first five weeks of the season. But now his stats sit frozen. “I went through a phase of [asking what if]. But now it’s just kind of like, ‘Dude, it’s over,’” Bennett said. “And I just know God has a plan for me. It’s going to work out the way He wants it to. For some reason He didn’t want me to finish the season.” Bennett has already fixed his eyes on what he has to do to get back on the field in 2013. As soon as doctors diagnosed a torn ACL, his first response was to schedule the surgery that would make it possible for him to play again. Doctors took pieces of bone and tendon from other places on his knee to build a new ACL on Oct. 9. Four weeks later, they say Bennett is doing better than most. The incisions have turned to scabs and he walks without crutches. He wears a knee brace most days, but Bennett said he has no doubt he’ll be ready to go next season. “I know my work ethic and how hard I’m going to try to come back,” he said. “So I’m not really worried about the comeback part. It’s just the time of everyday sitting in the training room. It’s kind of boring.” And he has good reason to be optimistic. Many high-profile NFL athletes such as New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson have managed to return as strong as ever after ACL tears. “I think he knows he has a great future ahead of him,” Georgia head coach Mark Richt said. “He still has two years of eligibility and people recover quite well from that type of surgery.”

Georgia wideout Michael Bennett was leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns before suffering an ACL injury versus South Carolina. C.B.SCHMELTER/Staff The injury happened on the last drill of Tuesday’s practice as the Bulldogs prepared to face Southeastern Conference rival South Carolina — a game they would eventually lose 35-7. Bennett was tied up in a block when a defensive teammate twisted his body in a strange direction. “When he did that, my next step I knew was going to be kind of weird,” Bennett said. “When I tried to catch my balance with my right foot, I put my heel down and my leg was just straight — no bend in it. I just heard two pops. And instant pain.” But the pain subsided and Bennett ended up walking off the field under his own power. “I thought I was fine,” he said. “It was at the end of practice, so I was like, well at least practice is over.” But the training staff performed a quick stability test that suggested something more serious. “I didn’t really believe him,” Bennett said. “Because I walked off the field. Honestly, I was getting a little emotional when he told me that, but in my mind I was going, ‘It’s not torn. Let’s just get this MRI over with and show it’s fine.’” The MRI confirmed the trainer’s suspicions later that evening. As his teammates suffered their first loss of the season to South Carolina a few days later, Bennett was stuck on the couch yelling at the TV with his dad. “It’s very frustrating; very, very frustrating to watch my team out there,” Bennett said. “That South Carolina game was bad. They needed a lot more than me out there.” Things didn’t get much easier when the Bulldogs won their next two games, including one against rival Florida. Now, Bennett was missing out on all the fun. “I think when we stop playing games and the season is over it’ll be a lot easier for me because right now I’m just chomping at the bit to get out there,” he said. “But it’s just not going to happen.”. Bennett expects to be back on the field by the time spring practices start. He won’t participate in contact drills, but he’ll be able to ease back into things by running routes and working more closely with teammates.

‘Cinco’ knows language of football Sophomore corner Swann strong at forcing turnovers BY RYAN BLACK The Red & Black “Cinco” doesn’t speak Spanish. Damian Swann, known as “Cinco” to his Georgia coaches and teammates due to the lone numeral on his jersey, has never taken a Spanish class. Instead, French was the foreign tongue he decided to tackle. “I’ve done decent,” he said. “Not great, but decent.” His satisfactory level of French and his lack of Spanish aside, the Bulldogs only care about Swann mastering one language: football. Specifically, defensive coordinator Todd Grantham’s 3-4 scheme. And to hear Swann’s teammates and coaches tell it, it’s a book the sophomore defensive back can recite by rote. “He’s smart, just a smart football player,” said Malcolm Mitchell, Swann’s stated “best friend” and fellow sophomore. “Sometimes he knows the play before it happens. He can call it exactly the way it is.” Swann’s near-memorization of the playbook was to Mitchell’s benefit when he was forced to make the switch from wide receiver to cornerback this spring. Swann knew everything, and did his best to pass his expertise to Mitchell. Many times, Mitchell didn’t even ask for it. “He had the answers. He knew,” Mitchell said. “He probably knows every position in the secondary, even the safeties.” Swann’s position coach, Scott Lakatos, has seen many of the same things Mitchell attested to, praising Swann’s “football I.Q.” Lakatos said Swann was always aware of what was going on around him, and did a good job communicating things to his teammates. “He’s put a lot into improving himself physically in the offseason to be able to do those types of things,” Lakatos said. “He just works at the game.” The Atlanta native’s hard work and attention to detail has paid off. After appearing in 11 games last year and being named the defense’s most improved player in the spring, Swann has played at a high level this fall. He has started every game at the nickel corner for the Bulldogs and made his presence felt the last two weeks in victories over Florida and Ole Miss, respectively. In the 17-9 win over the Gators, Swann nabbed his second interception of 2012 and returned it 15 yards. He felt he could have gone a lot farther, though. “The stumble, I think the stumble got me,” he said. “If I could have just kept my feet and kept running, I think I would taken it to the house.” Along with the interception, he also had a sack and a forced fumble against Florida. He followed that performance up against Ole Miss, recovering two fumbles and notching another sack. Swann played well enough that he even caught the eye of Georgia head coach Mark Richt. “We’ve always believed Damian was going to be an outstanding player for us,” Richt said in his postgame press conference. “He plays a lot in the nickel but he’s very capable of playing a wide corner as well ... He really helped himself physically to play the nickel, because you’ve got to do some run support there.” Lauding Swann in run support doesn’t do his season justice, however, as he is tied for the team lead in interceptions (two) and is tops in return yardage (15) on those pair of pilfers.

Tracking the trajectory of the ball is second nature to Swann, after all. It’s a skill Swann perfected during his baseball career, mostly in center field. Though he played four sports at Grady High School — baseball, basketball, football and track — his love for the diamond means it’s still his “favorite.” Swann even had the opportunity to play for the Diamond Dogs when he arrived in Athens, recruited by Georgia assistant coach Jason Eller. If he wanted to play, there was a roster spot waiting for him. But when Swann assessed his options, he felt he couldn’t do it. The decision was made — he gave up the sport he had so much passion for. “It would be nonstop,” Swann said of the two - sport grind. “Baseball is going on right now, leading up to their season, so as soon as I finish with football, I’d have to jump right into baseball. I felt like I

would need some type of break. At this point in your life, you can’t just keep going and going. You have to take a break at some point.” Being able to take a football-only approach has helped Swann ascend to where he is now, the lone underclassman who has locked down a starting spot on defense in every game. But as big a factor as he has been this year, Swann knows his importance will only continue to grow in future campaigns. “Coming up, I’ve always taken on that leadership role and I’ve always been one of the guys that was considered a leader on my team, whether it was basketball, baseball, football,” he said. “I think that being a leader is going to come natural for me.” Lakatos agreed. Give Swann the rest of the year and another offseason of seasoning, and he could be great. “The cupboard is still bare,” Lakatos said.

“He’s got a lot of football still to learn, and he’s going to turn out to be really special if he continues to work.” Lakatos is the person who spearheaded the “Cinco” nickname. Swann wore No. 1 in high school, taking after Morgan Burnette, who Swann’s older brother played with at North Clayton High School. Burnette, who went to Georgia Tech and is now a safety for the Green Bay Packers, referred to himself as “Uno” in high school and college. Swann did the same, donning No. 1 at Grady, but ran into an obstacle with the Bulldogs. Jersey No. 1 was already accounted for. So No. 5 it was. “’Coach Lak’ [Lakatos] was like, ‘Man, you’re not No. 1 anymore. Guess we’re going to have to call you ‘Cinco’ now,’” Swann said. “And ever since then, the majority of the team calls me that.” Even though Swann said he started going by “Uno” well before the

Georgia cornerback Damian Swann has forced two sacks and two interceptions in the last two games, fortifying Georgia's defense. EVAN STICHLER/Staff NFL’s Chad Johnson changed his last name to “Ochocinco,” he admitted the former Pro Bowl wide receiver had an advantage he couldn’t match. “He changed [his name] legally,” Swann said, “so he’d probably

Club sports chug along without fields BY ELIZABETH HOWARD The Red & Black

Local boxing coach emulates famous father BY ALEX URBAN The Red & Black If you talk with Athens-native and professional boxing coach Keith Keppner for five minutes, you’ll quickly realize that boxing runs in his blood. Keppner is the owner and coach at Keppner Boxing on the west side of Athens, a new gym that he hopes will attract not only professionals but also average people looking to get in better shape. For Keppner, boxing is a way of life, and is a sport he always had close ties to because his father, Doc Keppner, was a professional boxing coach himself, as well as a cut man. “A lot of people around Athens know my father,” Keppner said. “Basically, for anyone who has boxed in Athens he has worked with them or has worked the corner for them.” Doc’s pedigree in the sport of boxing is top-notch. He was mentored by legendary coach Chuck Bodak, who coached Muhammad Ali for over three years and worked as a cut man for Oscar De La Hoya. Growing up with a boxing coach for a father, it is easy to assume that Keppner always aspired to be a boxer, but he didn’t pursue the sport seriously until he was 17 years old because he was more interested in art and music. “I was very artistic, and everyone would say that I was a great artist, but my dad would always say ‘Keith is going to be welterweight champion of the world,’” Keith said. “I was always very neutral to that, but boxing did have this allure.” Boxing remained in the back of Keith’s mind, and when he reached his late teens, his passion for it grew tremendously. Part of the reason he took up the sport seriously was to help with his health — Keith contracted lyme disease at a young age and went undiagnosed for several

years, leading to a long trial of antibiotic treatment. Once Keith decided he was serious about gaining his strength back and improving his health, boxing was the natural choice since it was right in his backyard. Keith’s own experience is one of the reasons he believes boxing is one of the best ways to achieve better fitness and overall health. “Boxing is physically difficult, so to be physically successful, you have to live a healthy life,” Keith said. As Keith got older, he decided boxing was something he wanted to make into a career, and he spent two years in Mexico training with his father, before injury forced him to retire in 2010. A neck injury sustained during weight lifting caused neurological problems and Keith decided it wasn’t worth the possibility of being paralyzed to continue his dream of becoming a professional boxer. He decided to channel his experience and hardship into coaching others in the sport he loves so much. “Because of my struggles with boxing, especially in the beginning, I am more equipped to help people through their problems,” Keith said. “I have compassion for both my professionals when they lose fights and my recreational boxers when they are struggling.” Keith considers himself uniquely skilled as a coach, having grown up with a father who was not just a boxing coach, but also a renowned clinical psychologist. He said Doc's influence helps him understand the mental aspect of the sport more than most coaches and makes him more empathetic. “I push people, but everybody is at a certain level," Keith said, "and just because someone can’t do something isn’t necessarily because of a lack of will."

University club sports give students the competitive collegiate experience, but some teams are faced with the challenge of finding a place to practice. Many club sports, including rowing, sailing, hockey, aquatics and baseball, are considered offcampus club sports because the University does not provide a practice facility for the teams. These teams must overcome financial obstacles to pay for facilities. “I hate to say it but it is a common theme in many of our off-campus clubs, but I am very honored to work with students that work so hard to keep their clubs going despite those challenges,” said Emmie Gooch, the University’s club sports coordinator. The sailing team practices at Sandy Creek Park, and keeps a boat stored there. However, it costs players every time they want to enter the park to sail. Ben Hicks, the racing captain, said the team members have to pay $2 a day. The club rowing team practices at Fort Yargo and is a nonprofit organization. The rowers own their own boathouse, a fleet of boats and handle security on their own, Gooch said. But rowing captain Will Hedgpeth, a senior sociology major from Fort Valley, said the one-hour drive was inconvenient. The club baseball team is being forced to field-hop after being displaced from its usual practice fields. The team has previously played on Holland Field for free, but the complex is now demanding a contract and payment. Head coach Tyler Jones, a senior, said the team has also played at Smith Field, but now it’s closing down. Scott “Fish” Haddock said the team was limited in its practice options due to the changes. “Last year we could practice every day and we could get a full team practice and this year is hard to do that because the fields are not ideal,” Haddock said. “We can’t work on double plays and things you need to do."

Coaches, players sound off on ‘true sport’ cheerleading BY KRISTIN MILLER The Red & Black The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement outlining the concern about increased injuries in cheerleading and ways to prevent them from becoming more serious. But Georgia coaches and cheerleaders are not worried about the heightened concerns because cheerleading is already taken seriously. “We are treated like a sport here at UGA with our own sports medicine staff and team doctors,” Georgia Spirit Coordinator Ben O’Brien said. “UGA does a good job making sure we are taken care of in terms of safety.” The AAP stressed that in the past 30 years, cheerleading has increased both in popularity and complexity. Cheerleading has mobilized from sideline cheering to center court stunts. “People hear cheerleader and automatically think pom-poms, which is the basis of what we do,” O’Brien said. “Our first role is to be a support squad for the teams we cheer for, but we are also ath-

letes. We practice several days a week, compete in April for a National Championship and work just as hard as other sports.” As cheerleading has shifted to more complex stunts and routines, injuries have been on the rise. “The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 4954 hospital emergency department visits for cheerleading injuries in 1980,” according to the policy statement released by the AAP. “By 2007, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported this number had climbed more than 400 percent to 26,786.” When asked about serious injuries the Georgia squad has suffered in the past senior cheerleading captain Stephanie Ross said she was not allowed to comment on injuries. O’Brien was able to comment on Georgia’s injury report. “We have not had any extremely serious injuries,” O’Brien said. “We have a training staff and our own trainer. Kids go in and get rehab just like any other sport.”

A Look Back

After their loss to the Wildcats, things began to unravel for the Bulldogs. Travelling to both Florida and Auburn, the Bulldogs lost both matches 3-0 and 3-1, respectively. They hope to turn their luck around with back to back home games against SEC opponents.

Playing with a chance to go to the SEC Championships, the Bulldogs came up short in a 3-2 loss at Tennessee. One bright spot for the Bulldogs is that junior defender Torri Allen was named to the All-SEC second team.

Players miss out on election

Football players embrace studies, diverse majors

BY NICHOLAS FOURIEZOS The Red & Black

It’s easy to dismiss the student aspect of the student-athlete equation, but Georgia football players make time for education. “People are going to know names that play football, but they’re not going to hire you if you don’t have a degree,” said offensive lineman Watts Dantzler, a sophomore health and physical education major from Dalton. What most players have focused on is business. Of 121 football players on the roster, more than 30 have business-related majors both in and out of the Terry College of Business. And it makes sense, said Terry’s Director of Assessment Myra Moore, that athletes want to have a background in business. “Those students [who go into professional athletics] essentially become entrepreneurs. What they’re selling is their talent,” Moore said. Fullback Quayvon Hicks, a freshman pre-business major, said business runs in his family. He wants to be successful and “wear the suits.”

The Georgia football team has trouble getting to the polls. Wide receiver Rhett McGowan said the hectic schedule of a student-athlete makes it difficult to keep up. “It prevents us from knowing what’s going on,” McGowan said. “I don’t know as much as I used to.” Linebacker Amarlo Herrera agreed that he didn’t expect a large voting turnout from the football. “I don’t know who voted on the team,” Herrera said. “You can watch the debates. You have time. You can watch TV.” Senior wide receiver Tavarres King said he didn’t vote as well, due to time constraints. The players who were interested in politics varied, though their intelligence in such matters was called into question by King. “A few guys are into politics, but some don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said. He did notice that one position unit in particular joined the political discussion. “Definitely the whole offensive line,” King said. “They come into the locker room [and talk about politics].” Wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell said that he was planning on voting. While none of the players said which candidate they preferred, McGowan did say there were certain attributes he appreciated in the incumbent, President Barack Obama. Obama has expressed his interest in college sports often, which has both Herrera and McGowan paying their due respect to the “athlete”-in-chief. “He’s a North Carolina fan and I think he’s a very good basketball player,”

Wide receiver Rhett McGowan said it was difficult for football players to vote on Election Day because players often don't have time to stay informed. WES BLANKENSHIP/Staff McGowan said. “I heard he was playing yesterday or something.” It is an annual tradition for the NCAA Championship team to visit the president at the White House. McGowan said he hoped Georgia, currently ranked No. 5 in the BCS rankings, would be that team. And if Obama happened to win the election, he might see some stiff competition

from some of the Georgia football players. “If Obama is there, we probably will [ask him to play],” McGowan said. “We would definitely have some people challenging him. It would be a great experience to visit the White House and meet the president.”

Dawgs off the leash: Isner ousted, Bailey gets interception BY LUKE DIXON The Red & Black

Former Bulldog John Isner fell in the BNP Parbias Masters tournament 6-4, 7-6. ERIN O. SMITH/Staff

After a bye in the first round, former Bulldog tennis star John Isner was knocked out of the BNP Paribas Masters tournament by France’s Michael Llodra, in straight sets (6-4, 7-6). Isner was unable to recover after giving up a break in the first game, as Llodra quickly grabbed a two-game lead in the opening set. Llodra held serve, not allowing Isner to break him back to take the first set, 6-4. In the second set, both players held serve, forcing a tie breaker at 6-6. Llodra was

able to grab a break in the decisive game and held serve to end No. 10 Isner’s chance of qualifying for this year’s ATP World Tour Finals. In comeback effort, Bailey’s Broncos win over Green & Atkins’ Bengals In a back-and-forth affair in Cincinnati, the Broncos earned their third straight victory, 31-23, over the Bengals. Former Bulldog defensive back Champ Bailey’s first interception of the season was key, late in the final quarter. Bailey got under a the

errant pass that was intended for another former Bulldog in wideout, A.J. Green. The pick halted the Bengals’ potential response as Denver grabbed the lead back. Despite being under thrown on one occasion, Green led Cincinnati in receptions with seven catches for 99-yards. He also extended his touchdown catch streak to seven. His third quarter touchdown brought the Bengals to within three of the Broncos. The score was also the start of 17 unanswered points for Cincinnati, through the second and third quarters.

Watson, who has yet to win a tournament internationally, will attempt to break that trend and snap his eight month win-less streak. The first round is slated to begin Dec. 6.

Drag show provides queer space for students BY SARAH ANNE PERRY The Red & Black Entertainment on campus can be a drag. The University’s Lambda Alliance will present its annual fall drag show, titled “Don We Now Our Gay Apparel.” The event showcases performances from local and student drag artists. “This is going to be a lot of fun,” said Jon Hurst, coordinator for the LGBT Resource Center. “You can come see an amazing show with national entertainers, regional entertainers and these amazing students who are stepping out onstage to do incredible numbers.” Beyond its entertainment value, however, the show serves as a platform. “People can walk around this campus for four years and not know that there are queer people here,” said Raquel Willis, a senior journalism major from Augusta. “And that, I think, is a problem. [The show] definitely is an affirmation that we’re here, this is our culture. Something we have to do on a daily basis is create a space for ourselves within this huge hegemonic space that doesn’t necessarily always give us our platform to speak or to express ourselves.” Willis serves as executive director of Lambda Alliance at the University. Lambda is a student organization created to support and advocate for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and allied community in Athens. Its Speakers Bureau combats misconceptions about the queer community. “Our goal is to be a safe space where people can talk about issues, have meaningful discussion, and then in turn go out and advocate for our community,” said Jonathan Dickens, a sophomore linguistics major from Atlanta and Lambda’s secretary. “Just try to educate people about ‘What is the queer community?’ Because you know, the visibility that we do get, like in the media, is very stilted and is not really representative of what is actually

going on.” The drag show is an extension of the safe space Lambda creates. Although the University’s queer community is less visible than it would like to be, the show is usually wellreceived. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything negative about the drag show,” Willis said. “They’re definitely a hallmark of Lambda and a hallmark of the UGA queer student community. The reactions are generally very positive.” The show receives recognition from the University even outside of the queer community, Dickens said. In the past, it has been nominated for and won SOAR awards from the Center for Student Organizations. This year’s show will engage even more of the University community, featuring a performance by Pamoja Dance Company. This year, by professional drag queen Penny Tration, the season five fan pick for “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” will serve as guest emcee. Drag culture in Athens has also been growing, making the student show more acceptable. “It’s really picked up over the years,” Willis said. “I feel like there’s a drag show every week. Now there are different venues that have drag shows. Those are kind of the hub of LGBTQ culture a lot of times. Those are places where we really get to see our people and really get to mingle and have fun and kind of congregate in this queer space.” Local drag celebrities Diego Wolf, Extasy Grey and Bros B4 Hoes will perform on Thursday. Some of these drag queens and kings got their start at Lambda. For Hurst, drag is essential to queer culture. “It’s really important to understand the connection of drag, of this idea of gender illusion with queer community,” he said. “We’re talking about the beginning of the modern LGBTQ rights movement in this country. This started and happened with drag queens and gender illusion. So they’re kind of like the stars of our community.”

Still, not everyone goes into drag with an agenda. “For a lot of people that I know, transgender people here in Athens, gender and gender identity definitely weren’t at the forefront of their minds when they started,” Willis said. “For me, it was just a personal stepping stone to being that person who can transcend potential adversity or transcend these boxes that society has forced us all into, or at least tried to. I don’t think people generally go in for these hard-set, serious reasons; a lot of times, people just want to have fun. They just want to make people laugh or make people cry or make people just excited.” Hurst added that not all drag performers are transgender. “We often miss the artistry or the performance aspects of the drag,” he said. “Some of this is just about an outlet to perform and be very creative. We live in a society that has all of this other junk around gender and sexuality that makes it hard, but at the end of the day, this is about a performance piece.” In fact, Hurst said, the performance aspects of drag probably appeal to more people than one might expect. “I think a lot of people, if we were able to remove some of the stigma around this, would love to come do drag,” he said. “I bet you there’s a lot of people at UGA that would say, ‘I would love to come do that, if only people wouldn’t think X, Y and Z about me if I did.’”
