Eve Carson: Five years and not forgotten

Safety tips for this year’s spring fling From avoiding dehydration and sexually-transmitted diseases to not becoming a lobster, The Red & Black has you covered.

page 3 By Emily Schoone @emscho33 A life cut short isn’t necessarily a life not well spent. A treasured Athens daughter and studentbody president at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Eve Carson touched the community. Her accomplishments and influence do not go unnoticed, despite the shock surrounding her shooting five years ago from Tuesday. From Athens to Chapel Hill, Carson had a way with people that few can soon forget. The valedictorian and student body president of Clarke Central High School class of 2004, Carson went on to be a Morehead-Cain Scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill. She was elected student body president in February 2007, and her ambitious platform and heavy involvement was reflective of her enthusiasm for the college and the aesthetic that its students embodied. “I think that Eve was involved in every single part of campus, in some way or another, and that was the way of Carolina student culture, just to do as much as you can in as many different disciplines with as many different types of experiences,” said Katie Sue Zellner, a friend of Carson’s who was involved in her campaign. “Eve definitely embraced that spirit at Carolina and really made the most of that culture ... She had a hand in everything.” Zellner was a freshman when she met Carson, who was a sophomore at the time. They met through a mutual friend, but their paths crossed through the See CARSON, Page 6

Record-high national gas prices ensure that students will have less spending money. Above are the round-trip costs to spring break spots. ILLUSTRAtion by jan-michael Cart By NICHOLAS FOURIEZOS @nick4iezos As the prospect of sunny beaches and rolling waves draws nearer, college students wait in anticipation for classes to end and spring break to start. But before they go, students should check their wallets. Record-high gas prices are promising to make a dent on hard-earned vacation funds. The average price per gallon of gas in Georgia closed at $3.71 last week, showing a momentary lapse from the week before’s average of $3.77. February’s average national price was $3.65, its highest ever. “Motorists should see gas prices ease back a little more this week,” said Jessica Brady, a AAA public relations specialist. “We’re starting to see the inflated price of oil and gas drop to more appropriate levels given the economic circumstances.” However, Brady said gas prices could rise again soon. “March is the peak time for refinery maintenance to occur which could keep upward pressure on gas prices,” she said. Some of the most popular spring break destinations for University of

Georgia students include Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Panama City. But when students cross the border into the sunshine state, they will see gas prices rise to an average of $3.82. Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, said the price difference was mostly due to Florida’s higher tax rate on gas. “The state tax applies to about 6.5 to 7 cents a gallon,” DeHaan said. “The other 3 cents may be the difference in shipping the gas to Florida and the cost of trucking. A lot of Florida’s gasoline is supplied by barge. Georgia has the advantage of a major pipeline running right through it.” Considering that the average car gets 21 miles per gallon, according to mpgfacts.com, the approximately 654 miles from Athens to Fort Lauderdale will cost students about $235 roundtrip. Traveling to Daytona will cost about $145, and to Panama City, about $125. “We really haven’t seen any effect in terms of gas prices having an effect on spring break travel,” Brady said. “If anything, people may just stay closer to home.

The Multicultural Services and Programs office at the University of Georgia has undergone renovations since last summer, displacing its 13 student organizations. New offices for each of the organizations, which range from the Black Theatrical Ensemble to the Hispanic Student Association, had a projected completion date of October 2012, meaning that students would only have to wait two months of the academic year before settling in. However, deadlines were continually pushed back to November, then January, until finally the new offices on the fourth floor of Memorial Hall were made available at the end of February. Meanwhile, the student leaders were forced to share cramped offices and limited space on the second floor, for a

much longer period of time than they anticipated. “We transitioned a few days ago, literally. We’re still unboxing things. We were informed [of delays] six different times. We were told that we were getting new office space...in May, before the summer,” said Regy Perlera, the president of the Hispanic Student Association. “We get here in August, and they’re like, ‘Oh, we’re still doing some finishing touches.’ We get a message from our old director, Miguel Hernandez. He gets us an email that says it’s getting pushed back to January. Then before we leave for winter break, they tell us February or March, and we were ready to move in January before they pushed it back again.” Hernandez left somewhat unexpectedly before the new year, with the stated desire to pursue postgraduate studies at Florida State University.

AT A GLANCE ‘Perhaps hundreds’ receive false EITS email in scam Phishing emails which appeared to be “legitimate University emails” were brought to the attention of the Enterprise Information Technology Services. An ArchNews email was sent in warning – this scam could be used to gain private information. EITS was alerted to the two emails by an abuse notice sent

to the Security Operations Center, and because it showed up on a few mailing lists, said Laura Heilman, the EITS security awareness training and education manager. “Since the SOC people were able to get a hold of it, they were able to block people who were on campus from going to

that link [included in the email],” Heilman said. “Unfortunately that means that any one not on campus may have responded to it.” There is no way to be sure how many people received the email. Heilman said that one of emails was from an address that looked like it was part of the UGA system

CRIME NOTEBOOK UGA student charged after driving over yellow lines A University of Georgia student was arrested and charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane Saturday at 2:16 a.m. after the arresting officer saw the student driving halfway out of his lane on Vine Street, according to a UGA Police report. The officer pulled the car over and spoke with the driver, Dexter Jamal Strother, 25. Strother reportedly told officer that he “did not realize he had been driving the way he had.” After getting out of the car, Strother reportedly turned around and put his hands behind his back. The officer asked him to turn around, and asked if he had anything to drink. Strother reportedly told the offi-

cer he had been drinking. He reportedly couldn’t remember what bars he had been to, but said he had two Long Island iced teas and a Guinness beer. The officer said that while speaking to Strother he saw that “his eyes were blood shot, his speech was slurred and slow and that the odor commonly associated with an alcoholic beverage was strong on his breath and person.” Strother was arrested and taken to Clarke County Jail. He was unavailable for comment by The Red & Black — Kelly Whitmire

The student told officers her card was declined Sunday. She then saw three transactions which cleared Sunday, worth $177.97, that she hadn’t made. The victim was not aware of anyone having her card. Another UGA student reported a theft of lost or mislaid property and identity fraud Sunday between 1:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. after a man used his debit card in a jewelry store in Jackson County, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police report. The student reportedly went downtown, couldn’t find his debit card and “was unable to cancel his debit card,” and after looking online saw the card was used at Top Jewelry in Jackson County. The victim drove to the jewelry store and got receipts for three purchases totaling $404. The owner of the store was able to find video of the transaction that showed one man from a group of four used the card. — Kelly Whitmire

FUEL: Smarter driving could cut traveling costs ➤ From Page 1 If you’re going to the beaches, you might cut back on dining out to compensate for the increase in gas.” Blair Roemer, a sophomore pre-journalism student, said last spring break she and her friends traveled together to Gulf Shores, Ala. She said gas prices limited the scope of her travel plans. “I just feel like the farthest I would go is Florida and it would be expensive,” Roemer said. “But compared to getting a plane ticket, it is pretty equivalent.” While students might feel the pain at the pump, driving still costs less than corresponding plane ticket prices. Flights to the southern regions of Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, range from $400 to $500, costing roughly twice as much. Students looking to lessen the financial strain can take advantage of smartphone apps which let drivers know where the lowest gras prices are. GasBuddy. com’s and AAA’s mobile apps both track gas prices and are free downloads. “We all rode together and split it up, so it wasn’t that much,” Roemer said. “I’ve never used [an app], but it sounds like it would be useful — I never knew they existed.” Brady said travelers could get better gas mileage by making two adjustments. “Not drive aggressively. Not rapidly accelerating, hitting on the brakes - that actually decreases fuel efficiency by 30 percent,” Brady said. “Secondly, remove any unnecessary weight from the vehicle. Only take what you need. The heavier the vehicle, the harder it has to work, the more gas it is going to burn.” More refueling stops, when done strategically, actually increase fuel efficiency. “I know when I was in college, I always drove on an empty tank of gas,” Brady said. “Keep your tank at least half full. That ensures that every time you hit the gas pedal, your vehicle is getting a decent and constant stream of fuel.” Meanwhile, the public’s interest in traveling has increased in the past year, which is possibly a sign of economic optimism. The Traveler Sentiment Index, conducted by the U.S. Travel Association, reported an 86.6 score for October 2012, as opposed to an 81.4 score a year before. The index measures five categories, including overall interest in travel and its affordability, and defines a 100 or higher score as an overall “positive” attitude toward travel.

When traveling for spring break, students should take precautions against exhaustion, dehydration, STDs and sunburn in order to remain healthy throughout the week-long break. COURTESY WILLYSPIERBAR

Don’t let spring break hurt your health Parched at Panama City Beach? How to avoid dehydration:

Travelling to Transylvania? Tips for international destinations:

Symptoms: dry and sticky mouth, tiredness, no tears, sunken eyes, vomiting and diarrhea. Causes: Sweating, fever, vomiting and diarrhea if you’ve been sick. Treatment: Take small drinks of water often — don’t drink a lot all at once. No sports drinks, they have too much sugar. If your dehydration is very severe, go to a hospital. Your doctor may recommend intravenous fluids. “I would just say, basically, to be proactive,” Liz Rachun of the University Health Center said. She said it was important to drink water throughout the day and to remember that alcohol can worsen dehydration. “It’s always good to bring lots of water bottles, disposable water bottles. That’s what I tend to do when I go to the beach and trail mixes and stuff if you’re going to stay at the beach all day so you can make sure you don’t have any weird blood sugar things.” said Paul Dobson, a sophomore risk management major from Watkinsville.

Be aware of any health concerns in your destination spot. Check out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Traveler’s Health site. Is the water potable — or drinkable — at your vacation destination? “If someone comes back and they’re not well and they don’t feel well, and it lasts for more than a day or so and they have a high fever — any of the normal things, definitely come in to the Health Center and get checked out,” Rachun said.

Red as a lobster at Rosarito Beach? How to avoid sunburn: While sunburn in its less severe forms is self-explanatory, the complications can be severe. Blisters may form in some cases, and long exposure can cause second degree burns. Sun poisoning can result in severe cases. Symptoms include rash, chills, nausea and fever. Long term exposure to the UV rays in sun accumulates over time and may cause skin cancer. Some medications, like the antibiotic doxycycline, can make you susceptible to burning. Treatment: Prevention is the best method, so wear sun block. “Avoid the sun in the middle of the day if at all possible,” Rachun said, or take breaks. In less severe cases, taking a cold shower, applying a cool wet rag, moisturizing cream if there are no blisters and ibuprofen.

Sensuous in South Padre Island? Advice on sexual health: Nearly 75 percent of all students said they never or rarely used condoms on spring break in a study done in 2002 by Arizona State University. Around 48 percent of the men and women in the study said they regretted the decision to have sex under the influence. About 88 percent of females and 74 percent of males said they weren’t worried about STDs or HIV despite the risk. “Even if [your friend] meets the love of their life, don’t let them leave with the love of their life,” said Liz Prince, associate director of health promotion at the Health Center.

Subdued in South Beach? General safety tips: Know what to do if something goes wrong — “Once you’re intoxicated, you’re not able to do it. Plan ahead, have your safety measures in place,” Prince said. “Getting to know your surroundings, forming a buddy system, trusting your instincts,” Rachun said. “Avoid being alone and isolated with someone you don’t know.” Rachun also suggested students email important phone numbers to themselves — in the event they lose their cell phones, the numbers can be accessed from any computer.

Alcohol affects everyone differently according to age, gender, race/ethnicity, physical condition, family history and more. “What I typically say to people is make sure you eat a good, solid meal before you go out and drink. Carbs do not absorb alcohol. It needs to be a combination of proteins, fats and carbs.” Prince said. “Don’t conserve calories to drink.” All things in moderation — which the Dietary Guidelines for Americans defines as one drink for women and two drinks for men for a single day. “If you’re going to drink, have a drink and then have either or water or a non-alcoholic drink so you’re spreading it out,” Rachun said. Never leave drinks unattended, if you have to turn your back on it get a new one — “It’s worth the two or three bucks to replace it,” Prince said.

OUR TAKE

UGA Makeouts accommodates viral voyeurism We’ve used our editor’s perch to squawk about voyeurism before. Fads like TapthatUGAguy come and go, but the sometimes innocent, sometimes dark motivation that drives their popularity is a constant. The most recent iteration of this fad is UGA Makeouts, the Twitter dive that compiles photographs of, er, passionate rendezvous downtown. Now, we’re well aware of the boozy urges that lead people to sacrifice their dignity and, later, clothing before the altar of Venus. What stumps us, rather, are the motivations of the picture takers. According to the anonymous Oz behind UGA Makeout’s digital curtain, these snoops submit over 100 photos every weekend night — a veritable army of plainclothes police officers begging you, yes you, to take that final shot of brown liquor and try to get lucky. Do you feel lucky, punk? Some are even willing to sacrifice their anonymity to heighten the joke. Several pictures on the UGA Makeouts feed include the snoops themselves, posing beside their lingually-preoccupied subjects. Finally, we came to the conclusion that these prurient paparazzi are motivated by a confluence of emotions: part schadenfreude, part drunken giddiness and part desire to document just how crazy That Night had been. In other words, they do it for entertainment value, and we hope it can be agreed that entertainment value does not justify snapping compromising photographs of other human beings. It is undignified, even as the act captured is undignified. Regardless of its propriety, it is safe to say that the motivation behind the site is age-old. Whatever possessed an ancient Pompeian to deface a pub wall with the message “I screwed the barmaid” over two millennia ago is surely the same that leads Dawgfan to tweet a photo about the “New boy getting some love,” today. Given these realities, we urge all students to consider their actions downtown. As you reach for your smartphone camera, or alternately for another round of alcohol, ask yourself: is what I’m doing wise? Is it right? —Blake Seitz for the editorial board

Meat of the matter: vegetarian lifestyle better for body, soul

eeling clearer, lighter and more aware than ever, I can say that leaving meat far behind me was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a young adult. There are notable instances of vegetarianism dating back to ancient Greece. The mathematician Pythagoras, for example, abstained from the consumption of animals due to his fundamental opposition to animal cruelty. Of course today there are many mainstream faces associated with the vegetarian/vegan movement, from Natalie Portman to Anthony Kiedis and even to Mike Tyson (all vegans). One of the main arguments for vegetarianism is overtly spiritual, and can be found in both ancient religions and individual spirituality. Mahatma Gandhi laid out his support for vegetarianism by stating “Spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.” My switch to the veggie diet was influenced by nutritional evidence, documentaries, spiritual expansion and a pushy mom who happens to be a professional yoga instructor. My mother always told me to “think about where our food comes from,” and for once I listened and started examining how food made me feel. Soon I started to appreciate real food, nutritionally balanced food. As a busy college student who claims to have a social life, I know it can be hard to find

Charles Drury

Guest Columnist

time for documentaries about nutrition, so I’m going to challenge you to do something a little easier, and much less boring: eat vegetarian for a week, maybe two. Take it at your own pace; get creative — whether it’s in a dining hall, your home kitchen or a restaurant. In the end, if you simply reduce your consumption of meat — say, by eating smaller portions, or only once every couple of days — you will still experience great results. When my stepdad and I first tried vegetarianism, we would binge on meat once a week. So take my challenge, and even if you don’t become a vegetarian, you may at least appreciate meat a little more. From all of us happy vegetarians and vegans: give plants a chance. If you don’t love them after a week, you can have your meat back, guaranteed. —Charles Drury is a freshman from Madison majoring in English education

Students not prepared for puppy ownership

here is a puppy problem at the University of Georgia. A Youtube video goes viral with a puppy’s sneeze. Between classes, the service dogs frolic on the quad. Every half hour a mutt-load appears of a friend’s new puppy asleep in a pizza box or wearing a silly hat. I get it, puppies are cute and puppies are better than most college friends. A puppy would never steal your favorite top and then spill a beer on it, and would not dare ask for notes when it slept through class. Puppies provide the innocent joy that chocolate can only provide temporarily. And for the first time, mom and dad can’t stop you from owning one. However, I feel that once the Humane Society becomes a bookmarked website on your computer and you find yourself wandering Petland alone at odd hours, please step back and say no to the puppy.

Allison Skinner Guest Columnist

Before branding me as a soulless person who seeks out her potted plants for advice, hear me out. Puppies are expensive creatures that poop when the feeling’s right and chew whatever is handy. They expect you to finance the vet bill when they decide to devour your hidden candy stash. Plus, that dog is going to be around for the next 15 years, which means that the freedom to pick up stakes and go on a road trip, spend a weekend in the big city or disappear in Southeast Asia for a few months ain’t gonna happen until you find and finance doggie daycare. Ultimately, dogs require

the love and care we do not have the time or wallet for when we are expected to hold part-time jobs, do well in classes and find careers in our spare time. Do not despair, however — there are still ways to get your puppy fix. Some campuses are beginning to offer puppy playtime rooms during finals as a way to destress students. Also, the University offers a training service dog program that provides the best of both worlds: a loving dog to accompany you everywhere, without the 15-year commitment. It’s true, nothing beats rubbing a puppy’s belly, but scrubbing poop out of your carpet in fear of your landlord is not much fun either. —Allison Skinner is a sophomore from Athens majoring in public and international affairs

idterms have slowly sucked all the joy out of life, and the only hope left for a depressed student body suffering from football season withdrawal is spring break. Spring break is the paramount of all college vacations. This is not Thanksgiving with the neighbors or Christmas with grandma — this is a vacation all about you and embracing life as a careless and reckless college student. Planning for spring break has been going on for months now, and if you are just starting to get a move on things, good luck. You will most likely be spending spring break at home watching Shark Week on Netflix, inwardly seething as you imagine a Jaws-like fate for your fortunate peers who planned ahead. Location is key. A beach is nice, but if it is not filled with hundreds of crazy, like-minded college students forget it — you might as well be vacationing at a retirement home. Once your place is booked and set, the yoga mats and tanning beds come out, because being tan before laying out in the sun and obtaining perfectly-crafted abs before inflating your beer gut are both key parts of spring break preparation. As much as spring break is an escape from reality, however, federal, state and scientific laws still apply. Cops are put on high alert during spring break season, so leave illegal items at home. or you may end up checking into the big house rather than the beach house. Once you have made it to the beach, fill up those painted coolers and let the party begin. Spring break is no regular party — this is one of the only times in our mundane lives where we can party on the beach in swim trunks and bikinis, listening to DJs mix beats with ocean waves while playing beer pong on a table dug out of the sand. So enjoy spring break: meet new people, make new friends, meet the love of your life — twice. Just remember that the bigger the party, the harder the hangover hits. —Kathleen LaPorte is a junior from Decatur majoring in journalism and public affairs

Opinion Meter: The week that was

APOCALYPSE NOW?: In the run-up to Friday’s $85 billion federal budget cuts, some issued dire warnings of laid off teachers, detainees running wild in the streets, five-hour TSA delays and, we can only assume, the end of life as we know it altogether. One week in, we’re still here, waiting for the reaper. What a letdown.

BULL MARKET: The Dow Jones rose to its highest level, a $10 trillion rally since the market’s nadir in 2009. This is a good indicator, but other important indicators (unemployment, GDP growth) remain anemic, and some are skeptical that the sugar rush can continue. We’ll cross our fingers and prepare to sell.

Age of dorky headgear upon us as Google Glass comes to market

K glass…” Get ready to hear that a lot. Google Glass is Google’s new smartphone-esque gadget. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s essentially a tiny computer device attached to a lens and mounted on a pair of wire glasses. It’s a nextgeneration technology — largely voice controlled, hands-free, super-innovative and a little like something out of science fiction: utter “OK glass…” followed by a command and you activate the device. Google says they

hope to get their product to consumers in the very near future. Steve Lee, Glass’s product director, told a reporter he expects Google to deliver by the end of this year. Ambitious deadline aside, one important question remains: will this product actually take off? Obviously, one of

the big issues Google Glass has to deal with is its unsettling potential to eradicate privacy. After all, if people buy into this, everyone will be walking around with a camera strapped to their heads. People already feel vulnerable to recording because of smartphones, so how will they feel about Google Glass?

Eventually, they’ll get over it. This thing could change social norms; if you remember, we ultimately got over the early 2000s phenomenon where we wondered whether passersby muttering into their Bluetooth devices were crazy. “OK glass, look cool.” This, by far, seems to be the command Google Glass will find hardest to obey. At the end of the day, Glass looks like a thick-rimmed pair of glasses with most of the parts missing. Such a look is

bound to earn you some weird looks. Nevertheless, I think this is another hurdle that Google is going to overcome by the sheer force of the project’s other cool features. It could be the

next big thing, and if not, at least it’s daring. —Luben Raytchev is a junior from Marietta majoring in biology and English

Atheists ignored on World Trade Center cross issue

Celebrating 25 Years in Athens!

ollowing the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, first responders found in the rubble two steel girders jointed in the shape of a cross. The steel girders became a religious icon — Catholic friar Brian Jordan consecrated and held religious services around them. After Christian groups lobbied the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation, the steel girders were placed in the 9/11 museum — but not without resistance. In July 2011, American Atheists filed a lawsuit against the WTCMF. They claimed that the steel girders’ inclusion was exclusionary by design, unconstitutional and represented 9/11 as an attack on Christianity. No accommodations for the atheist group were made, and in August 2012 the case was dis-

Guest Columnist missed. The steel girders stand, but the case is not closed. As a member of the secular community, this court case is important to me. I have a problem with the fact that Christian groups lobbied the WTCMF in order to have the girders placed in the museum; that the girders were modified so they would further resemble a Latin Christian cross; that they were made the museum’s centerpiece; and that the WTCMF made no attempt to compromise with or accommodate the American Atheists.

The prominent placement of the WTC Cross at the museum symbolizes how the causes of the Sept. 11 attacks and the attackers’ motives have been misinterpreted and distorted. Media, religious leaders and politicians have simplified the issue by claiming that the attacks were religiously motivated while ignoring the role of the U.S.’s foreign policy in the attacks. A viable compromise would be to include in the display all relevant information to visitors so that they can make an informed decision about the significance of the steel girders. Moreover, it should be removed from the center of the museum.

Supreme Court case brings about re-sentencing for Eve Carson killer By Emily Schoone @emscho33 After a change in North Carolina General Assembly policy, Laurence Alvin Lovette, Jr., one of the two convicted murderers of Eve Carson, will have a re-

sentencing hearing. Eve Carson was a 22-year-old University of North Carolina Chapel Hill student and former Clarke Central High School valedictorian who was shot and killed March 5, 2008. Lovette was sen-

tenced to life in prison at the time of his conviction — when he was 17 years old. In July 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States passed a bill stating that the court will consider “mitigating factors” in determining the sentence of a person who committed a crime as a minor. Since the time of Lovette’s conviction, the debate has been sparked as to whether or not sentencing a minor to life imprisonment is cruel or unusual punishment. The totality of the circumstances surrounding Lovette’s criminal actions will be taken into account at the re-sentencing hearing. Lovette was also convicted of murdering Duke graduate student Abhijit Mahato in 2008. Dan Coenen, the associate for faculty development in the School of Law at UGA, broke down the two issues which will be addressed in Lovette’s resentencing. “One is, affirm the determination of guilt at the trial,” he said. “That is, there wasn’t any error committed in the trial of Lovette that requires a new trial, in other words, is his conviction for first degree murder and for other things, is upheld ... The court also said, which was not a surprise to anybody. .. the Supreme Court of the United States issued this new decision and because of that, it was not appropriate to give him life without parole because that is exactly what the Supreme Court said in this later decision that you can't do.” The “later decision” that Coenen referred to is Miller v. Alabama in 2011, a case where a 14-year-old was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

Laurence Alvin Lovette, Jr. , the convicted killer of Eve Carson, was caught on security camera footage attempting to use Carson’s ATM card. Courtesy FOX News While juveniles can still receive a sentence without the option of parole after their re-sentencing hearing, it is also “entirely possible that the judge will give exactly the same sentence, that is life without parole,” Coenen said. There will not be a jury assigned to Lovette’s re-sentencing — the court will make the decision. If the judge sentences Lovette to life with parole, he will be in prison a projected 25 years before parole. As far as his parole eligibility, that would be determined by “summing the minimum terms of the individual sentences,” according to the UNC Chapel Hill School of Government website. This means that his convictions of first-degree murder, armed robbery and murder will also be taken into consideration in determining how long he is imprisoned, which is how the 25 years came about. If Lovette is paroled, he would serve a five-year term. “He is not being retried. That is very important. Being retried means there would be a new trial that would have to do with the determination of his guilt and innocence, in

respect to the charges brought against him that he murdered Eve Carson,” Coenen said in order to clarify the hearing, which will take place on a date which has not yet been announced. The main issue that Miller v. Alabama addresses is the mental maturity of the defendant at the time of the crime. “The legal concept is the brain is not fully formed until you’re an adult,” said Frank Baumgartner, a distinguished professor of political science at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. “And of course, when people see a 17-year-old do some horrific thing, you know, they’re really likely to be angry at a severe punishment if they do some terrible crime. But, you know, at what age are you old enough to really take responsibility?” The Court states three reasons why the possibility of life with parole is on the table for juveniles who committed a crime. First, they have a lack of maturity and an underdeveloped sense of responsibility, leading to recklessness, impulsivity, and heedless risktaking. Second, children are more vulnerable to negative influences and

outside pressures, including those from their family and peers; they have limited control over their own environment and lack the ability to extricate themselves from crimeproducing settings. Third, a child’s character is not as well formed as an adult’s, making his or her actions less likely to be evidence of irretrievable depravity. All of these factors will be taken into consideration for Lovette’s case and convicted minors’ cases in the future, and the judge will have to assess the circumstances and make a decision. “Violent crime is essentially a young m a n’ s game,” Baumgartner said. “You may come out of prison when you’re 45 years old and you may not have learned any life skills in prison, and that’s another issue. You’re not likely to be the same violent predator, and of course, some people are and that’s what people are worried about, but it’s not likely that a 45-year-old person is going to do the same level of violence that a 16, 18, 20, 22 year old is going to do, thank goodness.”

UNC honors program and Carson’s student-government cabinet — Zellner was Chief of Staff. “I remember her for [her] ability to bring people together. She did a really tremendous job of energizing her campaign staff and bringing a lot of people that I didn’t know, outside of my social contacts at UNC, in to work on the campaign,” Zellner said. “She facilitated in a way that everyone could contribute ideas and she turned the ideas into a really great platform.” Dan Coenen is the associate dean for faculty development at the UGA School of Law, and has been a friend of the Carson family for 25 years. “It was very clear that the sorts of relationships that they had built were not superficial — they were very significant, personally significant,” Coenen said. “That was, I think, driven by her irresistible ability to connect with people and her enthusiasm about people about, in her case, the [University of North Carolina] and triumphs that make things happen.” Coenen reflected on Carson’s freshman year, when she organized a co-ed flag football team purely to engage with people and build community. She was approached, as the organizer, to name the team. It was then that Team Friendship was born. “She was sort of embarrassed of giving it such a trite name, but I do think the name captured something about her, and she would chuckle about that,”

Coenen said. Coenen said Carson's energy and light-heartedness was contagious. “She was just fun — she was just a fun person. So what does that mean? She was the type of person that every time she sent you an email, it had all sorts of exclamation points in it, so she was excited,” Coenen said. “She was enthused by what was going on in life and she was enthused about life.” These aspects, as well as her academic excellence and heart for service, did not go unnoticed by the administration at both Clarke Central High School and UNCChapel Hill. In Athens-Clarke County, the Eve Carson Award endorses her humanitarian spirit. Sam Hicks, a counselor at Clarke Central High School, said the award places emphasis on “students being committed to service and students being committed to taking care of their community.” Students that qualify for the Eve Marie Carson scholarship at UNC must also bear Carson’s qualities — leadership, involvement in community service and academic excellence. “Eve was one of those individuals who had a very special spark. She impacted a lot of people’s lives. Everybody who met her was very impressed by her. It doesn’t happen very often or else it wouldn’t be that special,” said Dan Thornton, associate director of scholarships at UNC-Chapel Hill. Carson’s memorial service on March 6, 2008 reflected the friendships she fostered and the groups

The abrupt end to her life left many of her family and friends wondering who she would be and what she would be doing these five years later. “You know we were all waiting to see how our lives turned out together, and now we can’t see how Eve’s life turned out,” Zellner said. “I think that’s something all her friends were excited for, to watch Eve as we grew up, as we led professional lives, as we started families, all of those things were something that I looked forward to in my relationship with Eve and I know that many, many other people did because she touched them.”

UGA Law provides ‘welcoming community’ Leading law school for

minorities BY BRAD MANNION @madbrannion

The University of Georgia’s School of Law opened its doors to the first African-American student 50 years ago. Since the times of Chester C. Davenport, the minority population of the law school has drastically risen, providing a welcoming, unbiased community. While the limits of defining a group as a minority are not limited to race, ethnicity or religion, it is certain that a minority group is a collection of people who comprise less than the majority of a specified area. This includes — in some aspects of UGA — Hispanics, Asian and African Americans, Indians, Native Americans, Jews and Muslims. Cory Raines, a second-year law student from Fayetteville, said he would estimate the number of minority students — in a class of 60 — to be from “five to 15”.

With minority enrollment for the 2012 entering class at 25 percent, the law school at UGA is regarded as a forerunner for minority membership across the South and the whole nation. According to a ranking of law schools from the magazine National Jurist, UGA ranks third in the South — and 14th nationwide — in minority enrollment. Students said the reason behind this renown is how well the community receives people of all backgrounds and how connected everyone is. “I think that’s one good thing about as far as being a minority here is that you’re not separated because you always feel like you’re part of everything that comes around,” Raines said. From Dawn BennettAlexander’s graduation year at Howard University Law School in 1975 to the 2011 to 2012 school year, the rate of total minority enrollment on a national scale increased from 7.9 percent in 157 law schools to 24.5 percent in 201 law schools across the nation. But BennettAlexander, an associate professor of employ-

ment law and legal studies, said the data does not matter,. Rather, it is whether or not students act on opportunities presented that makes a true difference. “I’m not looking so much at numbers as I am at people feeling like they are taking advantage of opportunities that could be there and available for them,” BennettAlexander said. The rise in minority enrollment, however, has not reached the rate which it could be. As opposed to many undergraduate programs, law schools have a tendency to hold minority scholarships in short supply. “[UGA Law offers] a limited number of scholarships in general to anybody,” Raines said. “So, all the people that are on scholarships, they either have the small number that the school offers or they get resources from companies and endowment funds. So, if you get a minority scholarship, it’s likely not through the school but some private or public interest firm.” With groups such as the Law School Admission Council being aware of the

underrepresentation of minorities in the legal profession, many attempts to raise awareness and promote minority involvement in law have been made. In fact, LSAC — working with Georgia universities such as Emory University, Mercer University, Georgia State University, and UGA — held a seminar with the intent to prepare minority students with the best courses of action from beginning their undergraduate career to applying for law school. Entitled Discover Law, the seminar was held on Feb. 28 at Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School and included both college and high school students in the audience. Although minorities in law faced difficulties in the past, students said they face a pleasant environment without discrimination. “There’s always something for you to do, there are always people for you to speak to and everybody pretty much is very friendly and open to you,” Raines said.

OFFICE: MSP organizations move in after five-month wait ➤ From Page 1 Before Hernandez left, MSP suffered staff cuts upon the departure of three employees last summer, two after being fired for falsifying documents, as reported previously by The Red & Black. Megan Segoshi, MSP’s senior coordinator who was hired last October, said the organizations are excited about the new installments. “They’ve expressed that they’re pretty excited about it and no complaints yet,” Segoshisaid. “Every one of the 13 organizations will have their own office, which is something we are very excited about. We’re excited that everyone won’t be sharing and will have their own office space.” While waiting for renovations, the organizations were forced to share offices and alternate time spent within the department. “We shared a space with about four to five other organizations,” Perlera said. “We’re all housed within MSP...so we were sharing some space and it got a little cramped.” Perlera said that he believed the new office space would be useful for management of his organization. “We’d plan meetings, [and] we’d have meetings with general members if they ever had any questions,” Perlera said. “We use it for elections and just general functions that organizations of our size need. We actually hold office hours, so of the 13 [executive members], we’d have somebody in the office in case somebody wanted to stop by.” While waiting, students were given updates about the progress made and some of the reasons for delays. “They were like ‘it’s fire marshal regulation.’ They had to get it up to code,” Perlera said. But even as they’ve begun to move in, Perlera said the offices are not what he expected after such a long delay. “A lot of concerns were raised in the sense that this place isn’t even finished,” Perlera said. “We’re actually in the process of moving, and we’ve noticed the fourth floor in its entirety is still under renovation — there’s still construction going on. Things haven’t been finished, basically. We have a meeting scheduled

offices, Perlera said opinions vary as members feel as if they are being neglected and were only given a short grace period to make the transition to the new offices. “There have definitely been some mixed feelings about this place,” Perlera said. “We like it — it’s new, we’re grateful — but we feel like they’ve kind of just pushed us aside upstairs. What I think bothers us about that is, [during the transition], they’re pushing us out of our old office space.”

SGA surveys on ‘unsafe’ campus locations By Kendall Trammell @KendallTrammell

Po l i c e Jimmy Williamson said he is glad to see that SGA is working on this initiative, but the police department has also been conducting research on the safety issue. “It’s an ongoing process,” Williamson said. “I applaud their effort in doing it, but it’s not something we haven’t already been doing.” Williamson said that the UGA Police Department along with the Operations and Maintenance Department have been working on replacing old light fixtures with updated ones. Williamson said that the reason this process is taking so long is due to the financial burden. “As money is available, the white light will be put it in, but we can only put so many in as money becomes available, so it’ll just take a while,” he said. Mark Duclos, the director of the Operations and M a i n t e n a n c e Department, said an estimated cost to relamp the remainder high-pressure sodium fixtures to metalhalide would cost more than a million dollars. In the meantime, Williamson said students should walk in groups to feel safe at night. Williamson also said that UGA wants its students to feel safe, but he said campus safety is a team effort. “Campus safety is a partnership,” Williamson said. “We need people to be very aware of their surroundings. If they see things as being suspicious, call the police.”

New Athens medical residency programs aim for stability, deadlines Jeanette Kazmierczak @sciencekaz The medical residency programs at Athens Regional Medical Center and St. Mary’s Hospital and Health Care System are on track to begin teaching students in July 2016 and summer of 2015, respectively. After four years of undergraduate school and four years of medical school, graduates receive a Medical Doctorate and a training license from the state of Georgia but still need three to seven years of residency in a particular field to be practicing doctors. “Our goal is over 100 residents,” said Jeneva Hakman, executive director of academic affairs at Athens Regional Medical Center. Bruce Middendorf, chief medical officer and director of the graduate medical education program at St. Mary’s, said he expected to take 10 residents a year for three years starting in 2015, beginning with a program in internal medicine.

American Medical Colleges saw that there was a looming lack of physicians and told every medical school around the country, which is only 141, to increase their enrollment by 30 percent in the next seven to eight years. She said the Augusta campus of what was then the Medical College of Georgia was maxed out, resulting in the creation of the partnership in Athens. The problem was, once the schools had more medical students, there was no place for them to go. In 2012, Governor Nathan Deal approved $1.2 million for establishing residencies in the state of Georgia,

Nuss said, to offset initial costs of hiring faculty and building the infrastructure needed. “St. Mary’s is in $250,000 that they got in this first round of money and Athens Regional got $650,000,” Nuss said. “That goes through June and then those dollars you’re referencing ... would get continuation funding the next year.” Middendorf and Hakman said the ultimate goal of their programs was to establish a long-term structure. Middendorf said St. Mary’s wanted to look back on this decision in 20 years and say it was the “starting point that would catapult us into the future in a very healthy, very solid, sub-

stantial way.” While Hakman and her husband moved to Athens from Fort Lauderdale specifically to be part of the GME program at ARMC, she said the residency program will not immediately be the economic engine that it may seem to be. “We really have really tried to back off of trying to sell it that way because it’s going to take so long,” Hakman said. “Even just the 2016 sounds so far away that we really try to go through and explain why it takes that long.”

BackCOURT

FRONTCOURT

When talking about elite SEC guards, Georgia’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is at the top of the class. He’s top-five in scoring, free throw pct, steals, 3-point percentage, 3-pointers made and defensive rebounds in the conference. He’ll be matched up against Kentucky’s Archie Goodwin who averages 13.8 points per game, but isn’t a threat behind the arc or at the free throw line if he gets fouled. What separates the Wildcats from the Bulldogs is that they have more established depth with their guards. Ryan Harrow has been coming on for Big Blue in its latest stretch. Julius Mays is the third-best 3-pointer shooter in the SEC, and was a differencemaker in February. Caldwell-Pope is going to need strong contributions from his fellow guards if they want to pull off the upset.

Even with the loss of Nerlens Noel, the Wildcats’ frontcourt has remained efficient on both ends of the floor, despite having to slide some guys out of their natural positions. Alex Poythress is averaging 11.9 ppg and Willie Caluley-Stein has really come alive for them lately. He has hit double figures in six of their last eight, and is coming off his third double-double of the season. Kyle Wiltjer has settled into his role off the bench, and is one of the best free throw shooters in the SEC. The Bulldogs frontcourt is known more for its defensive prowess than its offensive production. The loss of Marcus Thornton hasn’t helped either. While Nemanja Djurisic has proven to be valuable off the bench, starters Donte’ Williams and John Florveus don't provide much on offense.

The Red & Black

Freshmen headline key matchups BY CONNOR SMOLENSKY @ConnorSmo The Georgia and Kentucky men’s basketball teams head into Thursday’s matchup with two different mindsets. With two league games left to play, the Bulldogs (14-15, 8-8 SEC) sit in a tie for eighth in the S o u t h e a s t e r n Conference. The only way for Georgia to earn an NCAA tournament bid is to win the SEC tournament, and the Bulldogs hope to make their job a little easier by finishing as one of the top-10 teams in the conference, which would earn them a first-round bye. Kentucky (20-9, 11-5) is in a tie for second in the SEC, and hopes to solidify its case as a MANN legitimate NCAA tournament team. As it stands right now, the Wildcats are on ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi’s last four teams out of the big dance. Mark Fox Calipari

vs.

John

Georgia will not only play host to one of the most storied Division I basketball programs Thursday night, but also one of the most iconic coaches in the sport. Kentucky head coach John Calipari has been on the job for 21 seasons coaching at three different institutions, as well as a threeyear stint with the New Jersey Nets. In his time as a head coach, Calipari boasts a 525-161 record, and has led the Wildcats to a 122-23 record in his four years at Kentucky. Calipari’s teams have made 14 NCAA

tournament appearances, and four final four showings (UMASS: 1996, Memphis: 2008, Kentucky: 2011, 12). The veteran coach sports a 38-13 tournament record, and earned his first NCAA championship last season with a win over Kansas. Georgia head coach Mark Fox doesn’t have nearly as much experience in the head-coaching realm as Calipari, and is in his 9th season in the position. Fox coached at Nevada for five seasons where he saw three NCAA tournament appearances and led the Wolfpack to a 123-43 mark during his time. Since coming to Georgia in 2010, Fox has led the Bulldogs to one NCAA tournament appearance in 2010, where Georgia fell to Washington. Fox holds a 64-61 record at Georgia and has a lifetime record of 187-104. Georgia freshmen vs. Kentucky freshmen Both Georgia and Kentucky rely heavily on production from their freshmen players. Georgia freshmen Charles Mann and Brandon Morris have been in and out of the starting lineup for the Bulldogs, while Kenny Gaines has produced solid minutes coming off the bench. Mann leads all Georgia freshmen in minutes played (21.1), as well as points per game (6.6) and assists per game (2.8). Morris has proven to be a quality defender while playing 16.2 minutes per game, and averaging 4 ppg. and 2.8 rpg. Gaines has been a nice backup for Georgia

leading scorer Kentavious CaldwellPope, and has been a reliable scoring threat while averaging 9.6 mpg. However, Kentucky receives much more production from their three starting freshmen than the Bulldogs. With the absence of Nerlens Noel, who is out with a torn ACL, Willie Cauley-Stein has been forced to be the presence in the middle for the Wildcats, averaging 22.4 mpg., 8.4 ppg., and 5.9 rpg. Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress lead the front-court of the Wildcats and are two of the top three scorers for Kentucky. Goodwin plays 38.1 mpg., leading Kentucky with 13.8 ppg, while Poythress is the team’s third leading scorer with 10.8 ppg. Charles Mann Turnovers

vs.

One of Mann’s biggest flaws at the point guard position has been his decision making. Mann leads the team with 80 turnovers on the season, and has an assist to turnover ratio of +1.0. That ratio had been in the negative range all year before the Bulldogs' last game against South Carolina when the Atlanta native put up 18 points, 8 assists and zero turnovers. In fact, Mann has not turned the ball over in the Bulldogs' last two games, both in 20-plus minutes of play. Mann’s ability to control the ball could be pivotal in Thursday’s matchup as the Wildcats have made the most of turnovers, outscoring their opponents by a scoring margin of 10.1 points.

Seniors shape underclassmen BY ELIZABETH GRIMSLEY @AllFlippedOut This year’s Gym Dog seniors — Shayla Worley, Christa Tanella, Kati Breazeal and Noel Couch — have been through ups and downs but as they prepared for their final year as Georgia gymnasts, they had a clear vision of how they wanted it to go. “At the end of last year,” Worley said, “our class got together and we decided we wanted to

be a senior class that is remembered for going the extra mile, for always doing more and being the last ones out of the gym, and always having a good attitude and being the ones that everybody wants to look up to.” However, that wasn’t easy at times like late last year when the team was left without a coach. “We have such a diverse [senior] class, but all of them are leaders and have really helped us with this transition so much,” Davis said. “With the transition, I’ve learned to trust new people. They’ve really brought us together and rallied us after we split off for the summer and went home. We were questioning some things, so when we all got back together in the fall, they really helped.” Part of that leadership came from the example this year’s senior class saw from the senior class of 2010 with Lauren Johnson, Courtney McCool, Marcia Newby, Lauren Sessler and Grace Taylor.

Athletic Board removes 2,054 student seats

Mark Fox unhappy with NCAA deregulation

BY JAMIE GOTTLIEB @jamiegott

recruiting test to contact recruits,” Fox said. “That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I can hire [journalists] and say we’re going to pay you money to contact recruits and pay material for us, and you don’t have to even own an NCAA rule book.” Not only will this deregulation increase the workload put forth toward contacting recruits, but will also create a growth in the amount of money spent to do so.

The Georgia Bulldogs controlled their own destiny at the end of the 2012 football season — defeat Georgia Tech, and the players would move one step closer to the National Championship. The Georgia-Georgia Tech game became one of the most monumental games in Sanford Stadium history, but only 9,451 students showed up out of the approximately 18,000 who bought tickets to come. “When students don’t show up, it’s an embarrassment,” Ryan Scates, student representative to the Athletic Board, said. “The SEC prides itself on how many people show up.” Scates said, on average, more than 6,000 student seats go unused at football games. Out of the 17,910 student tickets available, only 11,802 attended games on average since 2009, according to a previous article by The Red & Black. In response to lack of attendance, the Athletic Board developed the Young Alumni Program to increase the number of people who come to Georgia football games. The program includes cutting 2,054 student seats and reallocating them to young alumni — people who graduated from the University within five years. Patrick Gray, associate director of development and annual fund for the Georgia Bulldog Club, said seats will be reallocated in sections 314 to 317, the northeast corner of the stadium near the train tracks. “Just about every game, that’s the top of the stadium that’s generally empty,” he said. “It’s mainly the lower level and west end zone where most students sit.”

See TICKETS, Page 19

BY CONNOR SMOLENSKY @ConnorSmo According to the NCAA, bending the rules isn’t always a bad thing. Back in mid January the NCAA Division-I Board of Directors took a step to try and deregulate the organization’s often complex and sometimes unenforceable rules. While this may seem like a nice change of pace, coaches around the nation have voiced their concern over the implementation of these new guidelines — Georgia men’s basketball head coach Mark Fox is one of them. Some of the rules eliminated included the removal of the amount of phone calls and other private communication, such as texts and use of social media that coaches can have with their recruits. Fox said this can work in a school’s favor, but creates more work than necessary. “When they deregulate the amount of contact you can have with these non-collegiate athletes, your work load just increased by thousands because we’re all going to do that,” he said. “If there is a lot more work that is possible to

“My senior class when I was a freshman was the first seniors to give us that image that’s forever going to be burnt in your head,” Tanella said. “There was just such a dynamic, and even though there were so many different personalities, they came together as a senior class. We really just loved the picture of our senior class coming together with our differences just like they came together.” Couch also said one of their goals as a class wasn’t just unity within the team, but helping prepare the underclassmen for what was ahead — a lasting legacy. “When I came in as a freshman, I was a little sister to a senior on the team who was my big sister,” Couch said. “Now as a senior, the role is reversed, so I’ve learned how to take on that role

However, these employees can merely be picked off the streets, Fox said. “Those people as it’s written now don’t even have to have passed the NCAA

Lady Dogs ready to end SEC tourney struggles BY ETHAN BURCH @EthanBurch The Georgia women’s basketball team travels to the SEC Tournament in Duluth on Friday where it plans to break its trend of early exits. Georgia (24-5, 11-4 SEC) enters the tournament as the No. 3 seed, and will play the winner of Thursday night’s matchup between LSU and Auburn. The Lady Dogs have been eliminated early in recent SEC Tournament appearances — a stat Landers hasn’t given much thought. “I’m not proud of

the fact we’ve been an early out, but I’m not going to dwell on it,” Landers said. “That was then, and this is now. I think we’ve got a better basketball team, but I think the competition’s even greater. We’ve just got to tee it up and play.” Georgia heads into the tournament ranked high enough for an automatic berth in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Though the Lady Dogs’ season is not on the line this weekend, Landers said the team has its sights set on something big. “We’re selling this as winning a conference

championship, which is something else we need to do,” Landers said. “We have a chance to win a conference championship. If we play very well then we’re capable of doing that. That’s what we’ve got to buy into. There’s nothing else for us to do this weekend.” The seniors who make up Georgia’s roster have never made it to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament. Senior guard Jasmine James said this year has to be different. “You have to go in with the mind-set that it’s one game at a time,” James said. “I don’t know that we’ve ever really done that, though. We’ve mostly gone in with the mind-set of trying to win the tourna-

ment as a whole. Getting past that first game is never easy because everyone has that same goal in mind.” Because both topranked teams have lost in upsets this season, Landers said the league’s talent goes much deeper than firstranked Tennessee and s e c o n d - r a n k e d Kentucky. “The top four seeds have lost other times, so it goes deeper than five or six,” Landers said. “I think it runs on down to eight or nine teams that can beat anyone on any given night.” Hassell said she hasn’t put any thought into top -ranked Tennessee yet.

➤ From Page 15 Along the same lines as contacting recruits through texts and social media, the NCAA eliminated the restrictions on sending printed materials to prospects, such as the size and color of the materials. Fox is against this idea as well. “No limit on mail, just imagine producing a life-size poster of the kid you’re recruiting and sending that out,” he said. “The cost of doing some of those things is enormous, and just a couple years ago we got away from printed materials and save money, in order to let people save money electronically.” While the NCAA did not do away with all the regulations,

about 25 pages of the 500-page rulebook have been thrown away. According to Fox, coaches around the nation will never cause a ruckus over deregulation, but he said there must be a method to its madness. “Everyone favors de-regulation because a 500 page rule book, you’re always looking at the rule book,” he said. “We’re all in favor of yeah we can give him a bagel, and everyone was in favor of ok let him have peanut butter, but if we don’t have some parameters than you open up the flood gates.”

Q&A

Gym Dog seniors relive memories

Gymnastics beat writer Elizabeth Grimsley sat down with the four Gym Dog seniors to revisit their fondest memories.

COUCH

WORLEY

TANELLA

BREAZEAL

What is one of the most memorable experiences you’ve had as a Gym Dog? Christa Tanella: I’m just going to be cliché … My most memorable moment throughout my time here has just been this year. I think I’ve made more memories this year than I can remember from the past three years. We have a great team this year. We have great chemistry. We have a great group of girls. And we’ve always had that, but this year, I guess, just being a senior and being at the top looking down, everything just seems so much more sentimental and so much more precious to you. Kati Breazeal: I would have to say this whole year in general. As a senior I’ve just experienced so many new things. I’ve gotten to do more events in competition than I have in previous years. I would just consider this year successful for me because I’ve learned so much, I’ve grown so much and I’ve gotten to do so much more. I’m just really proud of this year and what we’re done as a team too. Shayla Worley: I think one of the most memorable things was definitely the first time I ran out of that tunnel as a freshman. There’s so much hype about it, and everybody tells you about it all fall. So when you get there, you’re just waiting for it in so much anticipation, and it really is everything and more that people talk about. Also again, the first time I ran out this senior year because I think you have a different outlook and appreciation for it going into your senior year. Noel Couch: Just the experience of going out there and being able to represent the University of Georgia as a Gym Dog each and every weekend is such a thrill. Each meet is different and each meet is unique and each year is different because you’re around different people and going to different places, so I really embrace that and really take it all in each and every weekend.

Lindsey Cheek and the Gym Dogs fell to LSU and in the rankings. this year and we’ll be happy at the end of the day with whatever comes. KB: Definitely no regrets. My life has gotten me to this point where I am today and I’m happy with myself and what I’ve done, so there’s nothing to do but move forward. SW: Regrets … no. I think regrets are something that nobody ever wants to have, but I think one way to make sure that you don’t have them is to know that you did everything possible. You put in the time, and you put in the effort and the energy. As long as you leave no stone unturned, there are no regrets. I truly believe that that’s what I’ve done since I’ve been here. I can leave knowing that I did all I could. NC: It’s a process, so every practice that you have and every meet that you compete in they’re all different opportunities, so I just want to continue to be better each and every day. That’s something that I’m definitely looking forward to. It’s not defined by one moment or one goal, and just being better each and every day and each and every week is what I’m looking forward to. What’s next for you? CT: The world! The world is open after I graduate! I’m going to hopefully just finish up school and possibly move on to grad school or do more schooling and just pursue my other talents. KB: Grad school! I’m applying to grad school. I’m going to get some internships, hopefully go work in athletics ... so we’ll see what happens! SW: Most of my goals involve gymnastics and all of this, so it’s almost like you don’t make plans or make goals after that. But after this, I plan to stick around and get my MBA here at Georgia. From there … get into the real world and start working as a businesswoman. NC: I’m really taking it one day at a time right now and excited about all the opportunities that I have after gymnastics. I’m excited about that and being able to look forward to another year in undergrad and then graduate school and taking on new challenges.

Do you have any regrets or things you still wish to accomplish before you graduate? CT: Looking back, you’re always going to want to fall into regret, but I don’t think life should ever be lived that way. I don’t think you should ever take regrets from the past but just lessons. That’s something that every athlete needs to learn or else you are just going to eat yourself from the inside out. This year what we want to do and what we set out to do was to perform to our potential. That was what we came together at the beginning of the year and said as seniors; that’s what we’re going to end the year saying. We want to perform to our potential

Gym Dogs fall back to No. 8 BY ELIZABETH GRIMSLEY @AllFlippedOut The Georgia gymnastics team dropped back down to No. 8 with an RQS of 196.725 after tying their highest road score of the season of 196.825 against LSU. To calculate RQS — regional qualifying score — first take the top three away scores. Then take the next three highest scores — home or away. Finally, drop the highest score of the six and average the remaining five. Florida regained the top spot in the Gym Info rankings with an RQS of 197.440 after scoring 198.425. They are followed by Oklahoma (197.410), Michigan (197.080), LSU (196.965) and Alabama (196.910). UCLA , Utah, Stanford, and Oregon State round out the top 10. The Gym Dogs dropped to No. 6 on vault with an RQS of 49.335 and No. 3 on bars (49.385) where they previously held the No. 4 and No. 2, respectively. The team moved up one spot to No. 9 on beam (49.090) but dropped two spots to No. 12 on floor (49.145). Individually, freshman Brandie Jay dropped from No. 4 to No. 6 on vault with an RQS of 9.910 and freshman Brittany Rogers fell one position into a tie at No. 19 (9.890). Sophomore Chelsea Davis remained the No. 1 bar worker in the country with her RQS of 9.935. Rogers, previously ranked No. 4 on bars,

not sits at No. 5 (9.905). Senior Shayla Worley moved up one spot to No. 7 on beam (9.890) and junior Kaylan Earls jumped from No. 20 to No. 17 on the event

with an RQS of 9.865). Senior Christa Tanella fell out of the top 25 on floor to No. 27.

➤ From Page 15 and what I need to do to make sure that my little sister knows everything that she needs to and is embracing the process.” However, according to Couch it’s not just about the things that you say that define leadership qualities. “It’s the actions that you show and the example that you set,” she said. It hasn’t been only about helping with underclassmen but the juniors as well as they transition into the leaders of next year’s team. “I don’t know if you can ever fully prepare someone to take on that role,” senior Kati Breazeal said. “But this team, this year especially, has done a great job in taking on your own leadership roles.” Breazeal said the juniors will make a successful jump. “So I think it’ll be an easy transition for them because they’ve already done such a great job,” And prepared or not, it is a role that the juniors will have to embrace. “It’s such a great position to be in, but it comes with great responsibility,” Tanella said. “Anything that I can do as a senior to equip them or prepare

DOGS OFF THE LEASH

Jarvis throws first pitch, Golf Boys make news with rap BY TAYLOR DENMAN The Red & Black Former Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones visited Orlando to throw out the first pitch to a former Diamond Dog Alex Wood before the Braves took on the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Wood, who made his spring training debut for Atlanta this spring, appeared in two games so far, throwing two scoreless innings, giving up one hit, two walks and striking out one. Former Bulldog and Chicago White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham has four hits in 15 atbats with a run scored and three RBIs. Former Bulldog and Texas Rangers pitcher Justin Grimm is 0-2 in his two appearances this spring. Grimm has allowed nine runs in four and 0.1 inning. The Rangers’ pitcher has managed to tally up four strikeouts. Team United States is set to compete in the World Baseball Classic this weekend, with former Bulldog Mitchell Boggs as a member of the pitching staff. Team USA’s first game will be against team Italy on Saturday.

The former Georgia golfer is featured in a follow up rap video to last year’s “Golf Boys” rap along with PGA pros Ricky Fowler, Ben Crane, and Hunter Mahan. The quartet’s new rap is available on iTunes, and according to Watson’s Twitter, at least a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity.

TICKETS: Athletic Board will make additional $394,368 ➤ From Page 15 A risky cut The Athletic Board isn’t cutting available student tickets, but rather available student seats. Instead of 17,910 seats available for students, only 15,856 seats will be open. However, because the Athletic Board isn’t cutting tickets, student seats will be oversold by approximately 2,800. In the 2012 season, fullseason tickets were awarded to 18,645 students, according to a previous article by The Red & Black. Tyler Andrews, a sophomore journalism major from Marietta, said he thinks more students will go to games because the football team had a successful 2012 season, and there is a lot of hype going into the 2013 season. “For certain games, [overcrowding] could be an issue,” he said. “We have a really good home schedule this year with South Carolina and LSU. I think more people will be more inclined to come because Georgia will be in the top five or top 10.” Still, Scates said the board isn’t worried about overcrowding because according to data since 2009, it’s never come close to being an issue, despite successful seasons. “In 2011, we had one of the best home campaigns in history,” he said. “We went to the SEC Championship game, clinched the SEC East, but we actually saw attendance drop in 2012.” In the last four years, the highest scanned total, not including the marching band, was about 14,650 student tickets at the 2011 Auburn game, Gray said. Andrews said he doesn’t agree with cutting back on student seats, but the board’s head is in the right place in respect to getting seats filled.

“It’ll almost make it seem that the whole stadium is filled,” he said. “But it could be a problem if they double book and multiple people don’t have seats.” Despite approximately 6,000 open student seats in the 300level each game, more than half of freshmen claimed they were unable to get a seat within the student section, according to a survey of 100 freshmen conducted by The Red & Black. Scates said those respondents probably couldn’t find seats because they weren’t going to the sections where seats were available and tried to find the best seats in the 100-level instead. “I understand how certain sections can get overcrowded,” he said. “Maybe you have friends that got there an hour before the game, and the section is filled up when you get there, so they can’t find a seat where they originally wanted to sit.” Opportunity for young alums The young alumni are the most underrepresented group in the stadium, Scates said. Gray said young alumni recently heard about the program, and the response has been successful. “Just with online request forms, we’ve had a fairly good response,” he said. “Young alums are realizing this a great opportunity, and an opportunity that helps a lot of them as they try to establish themselves in the professional world.” Scates said the young alumni are the group that have the most to gain by returning to Georgia. “It’s an avenue to reconnect with friends and for those who have nostalgia of being back on campus,” he said. Scates said that as attendance has gone down, the Athletic Board noticed that the

Instead of 17,910 available student seats, there will only be 15,856 in 2013. FILE/Staff group that wasn’t coming back were those who had graduated in the past five years. To make coming back easier on the young alumni, Scates said the Athletic Board waived the first year donation fee to the Hartman Fund as well as giving the young alumni more points than what they’re paying. Young alumni will only need to pay the $40 ticket price, costing a total of $240 for the 2013 season. Craig Russo, who graduated in May 2012, said the program is a smart idea, as long as it doesn’t hurt students. “It’s nice for the young alumni to come back and go to games,” he said. “In the past, it’s been hard for them to get a secure ticket. I know friends who have graduated had a hard time finding tickets. They’re always searching.” Gray said the process of requesting tickets for young alumni will be outside of the Hartman Fund process. May will be spent requesting tickets, while allocation of assignments will be made in June. If young alumni already have Hartman Fund credit, they’re still eligible for the program, Gray said. “We didn’t exclude anybody,” he said. “If you already make a donation and already have season tickets, but fall in the young alumni window — May 2008 to May 31, 2013 —

we’ll still give you that donation credit on top of what you’re already getting.” Payday for Athletic Board Because the Athletic Board isn’t cutting the number of tickets sold, it’ll still be making the same revenue in student ticket sales in addition to the amount generated from young alumni ticket sales. By selling the 2,054 tickets at $40 face value, rather than selling them to students at $8 per ticket, the Athletic Board will make an additional $394,368 for the 2013 season. In total, the sum collected for these young alumni tickets over the six home games would be $492,960. Scates said after the first year, the young alumni will pay $125 per seat to the Hartman Fund. Hayes Patrick, a sophomore biology and psychology major from Baton Rouge, La., said making more money is simply logical. “If the tickets aren’t being used, they might as well make some money off of people that are actually gonna go to the game,” he said. “It makes sense.” The Young Alumni Program will take effect beginning in 2013.

Herrera, Swann ready to take on crucial defensive leadership roles BY YOUSEF BAIG @YousefBaig Whether they like it or not, Amarlo Herrera and Damian Swann are going to be the leaders of next season’s defense. Herrera — who plays inside linebacker — is the leading returning tackler from the unit with 70 total tackles, a pick-six, and both a forced fumble and recovery. He played in all 14 games, and started nine of those as a true sophomore. Swann — who plays cornerback — was not far behind with his 53 tackles and a team-high four interceptions. He started every single game and proved to be a valuable asset in the secondary with Bacarri Rambo and Sanders Commings missing multiple games at the beginning of the season due to suspensions. Georgia head coach Mark Richt said last week that this is the time of year when the leaders emerge, and both of the rising juniors realize that it’s going to fall on their shoulders to help lead the young group. Herrera’s spot as the ‘Moe’ linebacker in the heart of the defense requires him to be one of the loudest voices on the field. Being the signal-caller brings responsibility, and he’s accepted that. “It’s not me liking the position, it’s the position I’m in,” he said. “I don’t have no choice, but to like it and

lead around here and show people how to do things.” Swann shares similar sentiments, and is ready to show the newcomers what it takes to play in the toughest conference in college football. “It just shows how much I’ve matured and how much I’ve learned since I’ve been here the first two years,” he said. “Now I’m in the position to teach a lot because I have no other choice. I have to get the other guys ready to play in the SEC. It’s not an easy league.” Their journey to this point has been on parallel paths, with both stemming from the metro Atlanta area. Herrera grew up in College Park which borders Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. While he was in high school, the city repeated as No. 1 for violent, property and total crimes in the metro Atlanta area according to the FBI’s Uniformed Crime Report in 2009. “It’s a pretty rough area,” Herrera said. “You had the good, the bad and the ugly. You’ve just got to do what you have to do to stay out of trouble, and make a way for your family.” Herrera has used those tough beginnings to his advantage, and said that growing up in that environment has shaped his on-field personality. “It really helped me,” Herrera

Linebacker Amarlo Herrera (right) wears No. 52 in honor of his late friend Davin "Big Kuntry" Redmond, who died of a heart attack at age 18. C.B. SCHMELTER/Staff said. “It did help me get a little edge because … I can be a little angry, and that helps me play better.” His true inspiration is derived from pain and loss, though. In January of 2010, North Clayton High School was struck with an unexpected tragedy. Senior offensive tackle Davin Redmond — better known as “Big Kuntry” — died from a heart attack in the middle of the night. He had played

football for eight years without a single injury or incident prior to that night. Herrera dedicates his play to Redmond every Saturday, and is the reason he wears No. 52. “I go out there and play for him,” he said. “It was unexpected. He was my teammate; my best friend.”

Diamond Dogs deliver mixed messages

Georgia diver Laura Ryan qualified for the United States Olympic team. She begins her quest for gold with prelims in April. shanda crowe/Staff

UGA diver starts Olympic journey BY CODY PACE @CodyPace While most of the attention for the Georgia swimming and diving team has leaned towards the swimmers this season, diver Laura Ryan has quietly made a big splash of her own. Ryan was named to the Olympic Performance Squad, which includes 26 divers who have been identified by the United States diving team as having the potential to compete in the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. “[The team is] very happy for her,” sophomore Darcie O’Brien said. “We don’t treat her any differently, we joke at practice and everything like that, but yeah, we’re really happy for her.” For Ryan, these accolades have been a long time in the making. “It means a lot,” Ryan said. “I’ve worked hard my entire career up to this point and to be recognized for stuff like that is really exciting and it means that everything is starting to pay off and it just motivates me to keep working harder to achieve more things like that.” This will be the beginning of a three-year journey. Being on the Performance Squad does not guarantee that the diver a ticket to Brazil. It will be evaluated on a yearly basis and those divers who do not perform on par with the expected level can be removed. The road to Brazil will begin

on Monday for Ryan when she tries to qualify for the NCAA Championship meet at the Zone Diving Championship in Knoxville, Tenn. Once that wraps up, she will join Team USA for the FINA Grand Prix Canada Cup in Quebec and the FINA USA Diving Grand Prix in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in early May. “I’m excited to travel to Canada with Team USA and compete up there as well as the Grand Prix,” Ryan said. “That’s going to be a busy couple weeks but I’m definitely excited about it.” Ryan will compete in the 10-meter platform in Canada and the 3-meter springboard in Fort Lauderdale. She will compete in the synchronized 3-meter with Meghan Houston, a freshman at the University of Texas, at both events. “I was partnered with Meghan just because we were friends and we have the same dives and we sort of dive at the same level,” Ryan said. “It worked out well there.” The synchronized events, which require divers to synchronize their every move, will bring some welcomed challenges. “It’s hard to dive synchro because you have to worry about the timing of the other person as well,” Ryan said. “It’s also kind of more fun because there’s somebody up there with you.”

here was a different feeling at Foley Field on Sunday afternoon. The air was chilly, but the sun was bright and the sky fantastically azure. The attitude of everyone in attendance seemed to reflect that beauty. The Diamond Dogs had just completed their three-game sweep of the UAB, dominating the series finale 13-2. The Blazers had no shot, and the Georgia dugout was brimming with confidence. Not even one week before, however, the team had assumed a far less cheerful aura. Georgia was sporting a 2-6 record, having just fallen to yet another instate rival (Georgia State) in a disappointing 10-7 defeat. The team was frustrated, that much was painfully obvious, and there was a general feeling of restlessness. It was dark, windy and everyone was eager to head home. Even head coach David Perno might have had some doubts. But then the Diamond Dogs did exactly what they said they needed to do — they started playing better. Georgia won three times over the weekend and in convincing fashion no less, outscoring UAB 33-6 over the course of the series. After suffering through a month’s worth of painful one-run losses, Georgia baseball fully flexed its muscles and played up to its potential. Moreover, the team was relying on a smaller number of pitchers to get the work done. And the offense — which had seniors Curt Powell and Kyle Farmer batting near the Mendoza line for almost a month — had runners

Georgia second baseman embraces leadoff hitter mentality BY CY BROWN @CEPBrown Somewhere behind his impish grin, Georgia second baseman and leadoff hitter Nelson Ward only has one thought bouncing around his head when he steps into the batter’s box: get on base. “I don’t have to get a hit,” Ward said. “I’ve just got to find a way on, whether that’s reaching by an error or getting hit by a pitch. That’s the only focus. ” Thus is the life of a leadoff man, a role Ward has flourished in this season for the Diamond Dogs. The sophomore from Marietta, Ga. leads the team in both batting average, a stellar .438, and on-base percentage, an equally strong .472. He also leads the team in hits (21), multi-hit games (seven) and is tied for the lead in runs scored (nine). In short, as head coach David Perno put it, “He’s that prototypical leadoff guy.” With each passing game, Perno’s words are proven to be more true as Ward continues to get on base. “I love the leadoff spot,” Ward said. “When you’re going good, hitting good, it’s fun to get the team going and spark a little fire under the team.” Despite the importance of the leadoff spot, Ward said the pressure never overwhelms him. “Pressure wise, there’s not really any pressure,” he said. “I’ve just got to find a way on and let the other guys knock me in.” His teammates have also noticed him excel in the leadoff spot. “He’s a real catalyst for us,” sophomore outfielder Hunter Cole said. “A leadoff guy, high energy type guy. He always gets after it, always strives to do his best.” Ward is also one of only three Georgia players who have started all 11 games this season. Last year, as a freshman, Ward played

in 44 games, while only starting in 21 games. “Our intention last year was he was going to be our starter,” Perno said. “We tried him everywhere to get him in the lineup, just becasue you wanted that energy and you wanted that type of player on the field.” Ward is now starting at second base, in the hole left by Levi Hyams, who was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 19th round of last year’s MLB Draft. “I got to learn a lot behind Levi Hyams and Kyle Farmer, just watching them play with each other, how they communicate with each other,” Ward said. “That’s one of the big-

on base seemingly every inning. Farmer alone had 10 hits. While this high-ceiling team has been stacked with talent from the very start, it is also a young team.

ALL IN PERSPECTIVE

Locally-made art easily found out and about town BY CHELSEY ABERCROMBIE @comma_freak Creative minds in Athens finally have a place to go. Last semester, The Red & Black reported on the limited number of gallery spaces in Athens compared with the large amount of artistic talent. “Generally, because of the lack of an art market here in Athens, it’s very hard for a commercial gallery to survive. That’s due to a lot of factors,” said Carl Martin, a local architect, photographer, Ciné exhibition curator and Guggenheim Memorial Fellow. The harsh economic climate of recent years hasn’t helped improve on the limited number of gallery spaces. “One thing that surprised me when I moved here was actually how high the rent was,” said Hope Hilton, the gallery manager of Athens Institute for Contemporary Art. However, just as the financial markets seem to have weathered the worst of it, many local artists are now seeing a slight upturn in the state of the art scene. A few more spaces have opened or are planning to open, while some say public interest in locally made art is also showing signs of life. “I feel like there were a lot more, like a ton of artist markets going on during Christmas, more so than ever,” Devin Clower, a University of Georgia art graduate and owner of Frontier, said, “so I think just in general people are extremely interested in supporting local products and crafts, and so I think there’s definitely an eagerness to want to find it and appreciate it.” While students’ dreams of a student-run gallery may be intangible for now, the number of venues where they might showcase or create their work is expanding.

“There are some new studios opening up,” Clower said. Hilton echoed Clower’s statement. “A lot of businesses are opening up that lend themselves to contemporary art, like Double Dutch Press. I think that’s encouraging,” Hilton said. “In terms of new spaces, I feel like the new circle gallery at UGA is really important, as well as the AthensHasArt! space on West Broad Street.” Frontier and ATHICA have also recently launched a series of collaborations aimed at elevating the profile of local artists. “A few times a year, we’re going to do a joint feature on artists we’ve found in our window space, so hopefully that’ll help new artists get exposure,” Clower said. “When you work together, you can always accomplish more.” The various spaces provided by local businesses have started to expand past the usual coffee houses and restaurants. “A lot of businesses have also stepped it up in terms of having curated art,” Hilton said. “Instead of just throwing it up, it’s scheduled and promoted. I really like that. I like seeing art coming in and out of the regular places that I go.” ATHICA collaborated with a somewhat unlikely partner, Athens Ford, to set up an exhibition. “They have a huge showcase gallery for cars there, but there aren’t always cars there, so we’ve been putting art there,” Hilton said. ATHICA’s first exhibit at Athens Ford will have its grand opening on March 7. The Classic Center expansion is another recent addition to the face of Athens that’s sure to change the art scene for the better. “With the expansion, they tripled, quadrupled their wall space, these very

The Red & Black

big, luxurious walls that were otherwise unplanned for any type of art,” curator Didi Dunphy said. Dunphy, who is also the curator for the GlassCube and Gallery space at Hotel Indigo, will curate the new Classic Center galleries. She plans on curating two shows annually in the new space. “There’s tons of traffic at that place. To incorporate art in the everyday in a venue like the Classic Center is very enriching,” Dunphy said. In lieu of galleries, nontraditional spaces are becoming more common. “One of my interns is putting on a show at the Georgia Theatre, which has a mezzanine gallery,” Dunphy said. “That’s a new space, so yes, there’s been some growth.” Martin, Dunphy and Hilton are all involved in the Third Thursday initiative, an organization whose aim is to provide “visual art in Athens, Georgia every third Thursday” according to its website. “The really concerted effort of all of us is to bring awareness to art in terms of the public concept of how art can participate in culture and viable economic development,” Martin said. UGA is playing a tremendous part in the ongoing life of the community as well. “The art department at UGA has really stepped it up with their new hires,” Hilton said. “Several new faculty members have pushed the students along and they’re sending their students [to ATHICA], which is really very supportive and positive.” Like the creative process, expansion may be something that can’t be rushed. “I think it’s on everybody’s minds right now,” Clower said.

Flute legend keeps classical music pure By SARAH ANNE PERRY @sarahanneperry The living legend of the flute is coming to Hodgson Concert Hall. Flute virtuoso James Galway's performance will embrace several musical genres and time periods, with compositions by W.A. Mozart, Claude Debussy, Henry Mancini and others. “Through the years, I’ve played many concerts, and I’ve seen all the pieces that the people like,” Galway said. “I thought, ‘This is a good opportunity to do pieces that I like to play and that the public like to hear.’” Galway has performed with a myriad of artists, including Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell and Pink Floyd — and worldwide leading orchestras. Still, Galway called the combining of classical and pop music “a waste of time.” “A Haydn symphony is a Haydn symphony,” he said. “It’s written in a very particular time frame, historically speaking, and you can’t rock ‘n’ roll it. If you try to use these popular techniques to a Haydn symphony, you really don’t get anywhere because in the end, it sounds much better played on original instruments and with a forceful performance given by people who really care about the music.” Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Galway studied flute in London and Paris before playing in the Royal Philharmonic and London Symphony orchestras. In 1975, he decided to pursue a solo career. Now, he has performed for three

James Galway will perform straight classical music at the University of Georgia. Courtesy James Galway American presidents, several monarchs and even a pope. Queen Elizabeth II honored Galway with the Order of the British Empire in 1979 and a knighthood in 2001 for his services to music. Behind Galway’s accomplishments are thousands of hours of dedicated practice. “You can be as talented as you want,” he said. “If you don’t do the work, you won’t get there. Now, you know, the reason that you do all this work is to finetune — here’s a pun — fine-tune the performance that you’re going to give. Now, if you don’t do all the exercises and everything like that, you ain’t gonna get there.” Galway recently filmed 15 high-definition flute lessons, which will be the first installment in the “James Galway Online Flute Tutor Series.”

JAMES GALWAY Also Including: Lady Jeanne Galway and the Galway Chamber Players When: March 7, 8 p.m. Where: Hodgson Concert Hall Price: $5 (students), $20-$59 (public) The interactive series is an attempt to offer flutists anywhere access to comprehensive flute instruction. Galway has simple counsel for performers. “The bottom line is — start practicing," he said. "Because for every minute you’re not practicing, somebody else is.”

Instagrammed Athens conveys nuanced character BY CHELSEY ABERCROMBIE @comma_freak The headline at the top of the My Athens Is webpage is constantly shifting. Each new adjective puts a different spin on the Classic City: charming, generous, amazing. Reflecting the many different views of more than 30,000 residents is part of the goal behind the innovative, Instagram-driven art show, My Athens Is. For months, My Athens Is has been inviting photographers of all skill levels to tweet or Instagram their photos of Athens to the hashtag #my_ athens. Many of the photos will be curated for an exhibit to take place at the Bottleworks on Prince Avenue, April 6 to April 20, where the many works will be silently auctioned to raise money for the Athens Area Habitat for Humanity. Through the duration of the show, locals will hold special events, including musical performances, lectures and conversations about “art and creativity, social good and the community,” at the Bottleworks, according to the My Athens Is website. Greg Gilbert, the University of Georgia graduate behind the My Athens Is initiative, was inspired by the social media love recently shown for another great Georgia city. “We were definitely inspired by Atlanta, by the We Love ATL that happened in December,” Gilbert said. “I loved the concept of taking something in a world where people are online, going

My Athens Is compiles user-submitted Instagram photos of Athens and will display a few chosen photos in an April art show. Courtesy My_Athens digital, less depth of relationship, less community, and using social media as a drive to bring people together.” Online, the #my_ athens hashtag has collected more than 2,000 photos so far. The deadline for photos to make it in the show has passed, but photos are still being collected for photo of the day picks and other contests this year. “It was a really cool idea about Habitat for Humanity, easy and simple enough to get involved with, because all you do is post Instagram stuff,” said Nolan McClure, a graduate student from Roswell, studying family financial planning. McClure tweeted a photo of the Student Learning Center to contribute to the cause. “As a graduate student, I’ve been in Athens for five years now,” McClure said. “It really celebrates the town, and it goes directly towards benefitting the Athens community.”

Leslie Bentley, a fourth-year nutrition science major from Winder, found out about the movement the reverse way: it started following her on Instagram. Bentley posted a photo from a concert at the Georgia Theatre, in addition to adding the #my_athens hashtag to several photos she’d already posted to Instagram. “I think it’s neat, because you kind of see different people’s perspective of Athens,” Bentley said. “Athens is such a cool city, and there are so many different landmarks, but when people Instagram them, you see the city in a different way, which I think is really cool about it.” For Gilbert, the charity-oriented display of love for his favorite town is just as much about reaching out as it is giving back. The project expanded his own horizons. “Through this process, what I realized is that I have certain patterns of places I would

go and things I would see, and many times they were the same places and the same things,” Gilbert said. “It has been phenomenal to really go deeper and wider into what the city has to offer.” The fact that the proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the Athens Area Habitat for Humanity only enhances the initiative’s focus on community. Many of the photos that aren’t sold will be placed inside Habitat for Humanity homes to “give them a little something to have on their wall to represent Athens,” said Lawrence Jones, the public outreach director at Athens Area Habitat. “It’s just a really great way to engage your community,” Jones said. Photos may be uploaded to Instagram or Twitter at any time using #my_athens.

Classes to find jewelry, art in scraps

Spotlight Tour When: 3 p.m. Where: Georgia Museum of Art Price: Free Contact: www.georgiamuseum.org

BY CAROLINE WINGATE @cmargaretw The baby of 10 children, Annette Paskiewicz was born with a confidence to go and do as she pleased. “When you’re the baby of the family, everybody loves [you] and loves what [you] do,” Paskiewicz, artist and owner of Studio Mod Glass, said. The life of a career artist has ups and downs. Sometimes, artists have to deal with making tough choices and also making ends meet. “I live very frugally, but that can change when you make more and invest more in your work. I have gone into this other work — the glass work painting — not jewelry but it’s wall work. It takes a little time to get that going and get the ideas figured out,” Paskiewicz said. Paskiewicz has worked part-time jobs to pay the bills, but her art is most important to her. Her artistic passion was influenced by her mother, also an artist. “My mother was an art teacher. She taught all ages, and she herself made and moved around in different mediums, making clay, weaving on a loom and other things. So, my mother was a big inspiration in my life to make things,” Paskiewicz said. Paskiewicz said she kept aware of trending styles. “I would say the other inspiration is from the other artists. Every time I do a show, I see

She stays true to her passions. Without intense vigor and inspirations, many of her works wouldn't exist. “I can’t imagine being any other type of person. I am inspired by the great artists and just seeing great art. It's exciting. It's an exciting life,” Paskiewicz said. By teaching classes at Studio Mod, she shares her knowledge. “That’s what I’ve been doing for 20 years, and it's really fun. I decided too that I should try these classes to make a little more money. The glass course is unusual. With somebody like me, [customers] are walking into a professional studio with some exciting products.

There will be different things that you end up with — a window piece or some jewelry. Basically, it is just a chance to touch the glass and see how it all comes together. It’s more of an educational experience,” Paskiewicz said. In the course, she works with people of all levels of experience, using materials from previous projects. “I have a lot of scrap glass that we will be using. I have bins of scrap glass from other projects. There is a small-scale limit of making five things, making a 5-inch to 6-inch square of something,” Paskiewicz said. A Wisconsin native who lived in California for years, she moved to Athens for its people and artistic environment. “In Athens, you see this indie-South look where people are selling $10 and $20 things, but they are still paying $80 to be in that indie market,” Paskiewicz said. This artist's chosen career path is a gamble, but there are many people here to support her. “That’s what we go through as artists,. There is so much uncertainty,” Paskiewicz said.

RATED E!

PlayStation divulges details about fourth generation By WES MAYER The Red & Black Well, everybody, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for — the PlayStation 4 is officially coming. Last Wednesday, Sony threw a lot of information at us, about its next PlayStation generation. The company held plenty of things back as well (like what the system actually looks like), but we still have enough to drool over until we can get our hands on it later this holiday season. “So what is going to be so great about the PS4?” you might ask. Well, first off, it’s going to support the next generation of games, which look gorgeous. We have already seen what a few of these games will look like, the best-looking of which are Bungie’s sci-fi epic, “Destiny” (which won’t be an Xbox exclusive like “Halo”); Ubisoft’s third-person shooter centered around hacking every electronic device in sight, “Watch Dogs;” a beautiful looking fantasy game by Capcom, “Deep Down," a personal favorite, and a familiar PlayStation exclusive to kick things off, “Killzone: Shadow Fall.” The graphics the PS4 supports are incredible. The PS4 will be able to run Epic Games’ next-gen graphics engine “Unreal Engine 4,”, and will support 4K (with four times more pixels than 1080p) prerecorded video. Sony isn’t at a stage where it can make 4K games playable, but we’re getting there. The controller will be upgraded too. The

PlayStation announced details about changes to the controller as well as other portions of the fourth version of its gaming system. Courtesy Slashgear DualShock 4 is a little more curvaceous and a little more “modern” looking. It has stripped the START and SELECT buttons and replaced the front with a touchscreen, making it clear that games will include new touch features. The analog sticks are modified to be easier to grip, the triggers (L2/R2) will be shaped more like triggers, and there is a small speaker under the touchscreen — perhaps separate sounds (ones that would seem closer to you, like a gun firing, maybe) will come directly from the controller. One of the most interesting features is the controller’s SHARE button. This next generation, Sony has figured out, is all about social media. The PS4 will make it much easier for gamers to share what they are playing with all of their friends. Hitting the SHARE button will allow players to record recent gameplay, upload it to the Internet and share

it with their friends. This is a great feature because creating your own gameplay videos now is a fairly costly and complicated process. Another feature that the controller includes is the new “Move” control. On the top/front of the controller which would normally face your TV is a three-color LED light strip. The strip will change color according to gameplay and connect to the new PlayStation 4 Eye, a camera that will detect where the player is in the room (no, it’s not a Kinect). The DualShock 4 will detect where the player is in three dimensions, and this will probably bring new “Sixaxis” resembling features (which weren’t widely utilized with the PlayStation 3) to PS4 gameplay. Unfortunately, there is also bad news with the PS4. The new system will not be backwards compatible. PS3 and PlayStation Network games and game saves will not

work on the PS4. Nothing from your PS3 will transfer to the PS4 (they didn’t say anything about our PlayStation Network IDs or Trophies), so don’t plan on forgetting about your PS3. Instead, it seems like the PS4 will completely restart the new generation, which is good or bad news depending on your point of view. Also, DualShock 3s will not work on the PS4. They just aren’t advanced enough. The PS4 will ship with a new DualShock 4 and a headset though, meaning much more chatty online play. Of course, there are many things we do not know about the PS4. The detail they are blatantly holding back is what the system actually looks like. With the former codename “Orbis,” we could be looking at a circular device, but that’s just speculation.

Artistic duo couples acoustic, aesthetic art BY CHELSEY ABERCROMBIE @comma_freak For many University of Georgia students, books and music occupy places equally close to their hearts. For Lee and Sharisse Coulter, the nexus between the two is about exactly that. Along with their 4-year-old son, Kai, the multi-talented husband-and-wife duo has embarked on a six month, 55 city, hybrid music and literary tour around the country. His music recently skyrocketed to popularity on Sirius XM Radio, and her debut novel was just released. On March 8, the Coulters’ A “Novel” Music Tour will make a stop at Athens’ Avid Bookshop. Rachel Watkins, Avid’s director of public relations and events, cites multiple reasons for jumping on the opportunity to have the Coulters visit Athens. “At Avid Bookshop, we do tons of what you might expect — the usual author, book signing, book launch. But on occasion we have music here, which is a really cool fit for a town like Athens,” Watkins said. “I thought [A ‘Novel’ Music Tour] was a perfect fit because he’s doing what probably lots of people in Athens would like to do.” But a community brimming with young musicians and writers doesn’t need inspiration. What it does need are words of advice — something the Coulters

Sirius XM’s The Coffee House recently called Lee “the singersongwriter discovery of 2011.” He had much to say to any UGA students hoping to emulate his success in music. “Basically, it’s more likely than not going to be a long road, if you want to do it for a career,” he said. “Remember what you’re in it for. Every once in a while, you’re going to question what you’re doing.” Lee’s wife has also reached a similar pinnacle of success in her creative life with the publication of her debut novel, “Rock My World,” which is described as “a contemporary women’s fiction novel about friendship, family and damage control in the celebrity spotlight.” Sharisse lists her literary influences as Jane Austen, the “lightheartedness” of Nora Ephron’s screen-writing and J.K.

is a non-traditional element on both book and musical tours, having their son Kai on board has only sweetened the deal for both Lee and Charisse. “It’s awesome. It definitely makes us slow everything down. I don’t think we’d see as much of the city if it weren’t for him,” Lee said. Sharisse agreed with her husband that hitting the road was a great decision. “I think the best part for me is just getting to do this type of tour with my family. We get control over where we go, how long we stay, and you know we get to build in time for doing fun things like going to pubs and taverns and taking our son to different museums and stuff,” Sharisse said.

NOW SHOWING!

‘Django Unchained’ blends Southern beauty, bloodshed BY COLBY NEWTON @excel522 “Django Unchained,” Best Original Screenplay Oscar winner, is typical Tarantino. In a seeming attempt to utterly destroy the beautified image of the antebellum South presented by “Gone With the Wind,” Tarantino shows us the ugliness that lies beneath every idyllic fantasy of the South ever presented. He creates a film that manages to present the image of Southern aristocracy without ever reveling in the decadence, not allowing the audience to forget for a moment just how these lauded gentlemen treated other human beings in order to maintain the lifestyle. Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the most blatant avatar of these hypocritical aristocrats, but not a single American in the film is free from the prejudice that infected the old South like a cancer. Tarantino also makes the violence against black Americans a visceral experience. While the white characters die in Tarantino’s usual scenes of gleeful carnage, the violence experienced by the film’s slave population is never anything other than horrifyingly, depressingly realistic. It’s a stunningly bold-faced accusation toward an often glossed-over

period in American history. Of course, while Tarantino may be attempting to provoke a deeper discussion than some of his earlier films, he wouldn’t be Quentin Tarantino if he weren’t able to craft an excellent, character-driven action movie out of these controversial subjects. Dr. King Schultz (Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Christoph Waltz) poses as the breakout character, with many of the best lines and a personality that threatens to overwhelm the screen, but the star of the film, stoic titular character Django (Jamie Foxx) is both more interesting and a stronger character. Foxx’s stern, unflinching performance comes off as wooden on the surface, but a more measured consideration reveals Django as a man grappling with deeply internalized rage, confusion, loyalty and love. Kerry Washington puts on a spirited performance as Django’s captive wife Brunhilda von Shaft, managing to create an interesting, multifaceted character despite severely limited dialogue and screen time. Lastly, Samuel L. Jackson plays the self-loathing Stephen with his usual overblown aplomb, pulling big laughs while embodying a despicable, insidious character. Tarantino’s directorial hallmarks are also on display throughout the film, with the usual digressive mono-

logues, blood-soaked battlegrounds and anachronistic soundtracks coming together for a whole greater than its parts. Only a poorly-edited beginning portion keeps the film from reaching the heights of Tarantino’s best, with several scenes coming off as unnecessary or misjudged. A particularly egregious scene of early Klansmen gathering gets big laughs but manages to completely destroy any tension and momentum. Tarantino also continues mistakenly believing that he can act, appearing after one of the film’s most spectacular setpieces to destroy audiences' immersion with a ludicrously unbelievable accent and utterly pointless character. At this point in his career, Quentin Tarantino has become less an auteur and more of a brand name. His film work comes with certain expectations: stories of bloody revenge, homages to the forgotten detritus of film history, scenes of cartoonish violence. Tarantino has been taking his work further and further away from reality with each successive film, most recently rewriting the end of World War II in order to give Adolf Hitler the bloody ending he deserved in “Inglorious Basterds.” But, while “Django Unchained” in many ways continues the process of historical revisionism, the film’s stron-

gest moments come from the honest, unflinching depictions of slavery Tarantino puts on the screen. Overall, however, Tarantino has created another propulsive, delightfully debauched glorification of genre and gore with a beating heart and an active mind — a worthy addition to his canon, and a worthy recipient of praise and awards. “Django Unchained” will play at Ciné through March 7.

Malcolm Mitchell dives into leading charity work off football field By AMANDA DIXON @amandaadixon Community service is not just a requirement for Malcolm Mitchell — it’s a genuine passion. Last month Georgia wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell visited Emory University and spoke to high school students involved in Usher’s New Look Foundation, which prepares youth for success as serviceoriented leaders on a global scale. Malia Hibbler, a senior marketing major from Decatur, has been involved with New Look since 2005. She arranged for Mitchell to speak during a weekly meeting for the Leadership Academy, knowing he could be an inspiration to the students in the program as well as oth-

ers around him. “He really takes pride in being someone somebody can look up to,” she said. “He’s changing for good, and I want more people to be like him, so that’s why I got him out there doing all this and speaking to people, because I want this to have an effect on people — his friends and the people who watch him on TV.” Mitchell revealed details about his past he had never shared publicly and candidly discussed the struggles he experienced. His story emphasized that regardless of their circumstances, if the students worked hard in school, they too could enhance their talents and achieve their dreams. “I know growing up, that motivation can mean a lot,” Mitchell

said. “I took the opportunity to just see if I could be one of those people out there in the world who could motivate kids to do much more than what they were doing.” Tramel Terry, an early enrollee football recruit from Charleston, S.C., also shared personal stories. He talked about the trouble he got into when he was younger and how he maintained focus in order to gain acceptance into UGA. The students were energetic after hearing Terry and Mitchell speak and asked plenty of questions. Mitchell’s presence, in particular, was important because he epitomized New Look’s model. “Malcolm essentially represents our program model of using your talent, education,

career and service,” said Vanecia Thompson, a National New Look Mogul in Training and senior journalism major from Lithonia. “I think Malcolm was setting a great example for the younger generation who want to be in his position athletically, but also to know that they need to give back to their community.” Word spread on social media about Mitchell’s visit with the New Look participants. A video of his speech currently has more than 2,000 views. Although this was his first experience speaking up as a role model, Mitchell has participated in community service projects with his teammates and on his own with organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Athens.

Mitchell intends to continue giving back and empowering youth. In his hometown of Valdosta, he plans to launch a program called STAND, which stands for Start Taking a New Direction, in collaboration with the YMCA. “In my hometown, the kids have lost, I feel, have lost a lot of motivation, and I think that’s because [of] the lack of role models we have in the community,” Mitchell said. Mitchell, who enjoys reading, will start a book club through STAND for kids of all ages. He will also continue sharing his story with students across Georgia. Hibbler gave Mitchell credit for stepping up and becoming more active in the community, but he insisted that he could not be successful without the

support of his family and friends. “I did take the initiative to try to step out beyond, I guess, the limits that some people give us as athletes or us as people as far as helping out others,” he said. “But I also do have a great support team as far as Malia [Hibbler], my mom, her mom. I have like two or three really close friends who ride with me the whole way with anything that I’m trying to do.” New Look was founded by R&B singer Usher Raymond IV in 1999 in Atlanta. The goal of the organization is to provide role models to the community through leadership programs that focus on talent, education, career and service.
