A University student was arrested and charged with underage possession of alcohol, according to an AthensClarke County police report. The officer was notified of a suspected drunk subject wearing a yellow shirt and tan pants that had nearly fallen into the roadway near West Broad Street and Sycamore Drive. Joshua Edgar Duncan, 19, was seen by the officer crossing Sycamore Drive on to West Broad Street, according to the report. Duncan stopped for a moment and then he turned away and started running toward Briarcliff Road. The officer reported his run to be ‘awkward,’ and Duncan looked to be unsteady and moving in ‘slow motion.’ The officer got back in his car and continued to Briarcliff, where he exited his car and contacted Duncan again. He was reportedly stumbling as he walked toward the officer and was asked to stand away from the roadway because he looked to be unsteady. Duncan gave the officer his license, when he was asked for it. He was then placed under arrest for underage possession of alcohol and taken to Clarke County Jail.

A University student was arrested after entering another student’s room without his permission and charged with fake ID, underage possession, criminal trespass intrusion upon property and criminal trespass damaged property, according to a University police report. Nicholas John Wilhelm, 19, reportedly entered another student’s room in Russell Hall and urinated in a desk drawer. The student who lived there was asleep when Wilhelm entered, and he tried unsuccessfully to make him leave. The student left the room to tell the front desk about the incident. Wilhelm was then arrested and taken to Clarke County Jail.
FROM THE WEB Uga IX to debut in September Russ, Georgia’s interim mascot, may soon be out of work. Sonny Seiler, whose family has kept the Uga line since the 1950s, said they hope to reveal Uga IX at the football team’s picture day in August, according to an April 14 Red & Black article. That would make the new mascot’s first game the season opener in Sanford Stadium against Buffalo on Sept. 1. Though Seiler said they haven’t decided which dog will be putting on the uniform this year, they have it narrowed down to two or three direct descendants of the famous English bulldog line. Uga VIII — Big Bad Bruce — died in February of last year after being diagnosed with lymphoma. Since then, Russ has filled in as the temporary replacement.
University alumnus, world traveler and adventurer dies at 100 The oldest living University alumnus best known for his many adventures — including biking around the world and walking the steps of the Washington Monument on his hands — died Sunday at the age of 100. Fred Birchmore, an Athens native and 1928 University graduate, lived his life with the purpose to have as many adventures as possible, helping as many people as possible on the way. “He was a joy to be around,” Willa Deane Birchmore, Birchmore’s wife of 72 years, said about her husband. “He had a great personality. I think that’s why young people are so attracted to him.” During his time at the University, Birchmore was a member of the band and tennis team. He also lettered in gymnastics and earned the title of southern boxing champion for his weight class. After earning an undergraduate degree in 1928, Birchmore returned to the University for graduate school. He graduated in 1935 with a master’s degree and a law degree, Willa Deane said. Birchmore is best recognized for his 1935 bike trip through Europe and parts of northern Africa. He documented his journey in a book he titled “Around the World on a Bicycle.” He was quoted in a Smithsonian article as saying to a journalist that adventures were his passion. “For me, the great purposes in life are to have as many adventures as possible,” he said. “To brighten the lives of as many as possible, and to leave this old world a little bit better place."
New downtown apartments to match feel of area Landmark Properties addressed concerns over the degrading effect their proposed apartment building will have on the downtown area. The new apartment complex which is set to be built in the fall, will match the look and feel of the area, according to Landmark Properties executives. Plans for the 3.2 acre property are set to be built on the corner of Thomas Street and North Avenue — now the location of Athens Hardware. Wesley Rogers, the CEO of Landmark, believes the complex will actually improve the quality of the area. The architecture is meant to mimic the style of the newer downtown buildings, such as Athens First Bank & Trust, Rogers said.

THE RED & BLACK 3A
Ignite wins SGA presidential bid, turns to transition The University now has a new Student Government Association executive branch: Ignite. With 57.2 percent of the runoff vote, a number of 1,835, Ignite — president Will Burgess, vice president Marshall Mosher and treasurer Anush Vinod — won the election. Moments after the announcement, The Red & Black sat down with SGA President Will Burgess.
As President, what will be your first action? “We’ve got a transition starting tomorrow. We’ll celebrate today, but we got to get to work tomorrow. Basically, it’s just keeping everything going. We’ve got a lot of platforms points and a lot of meetings that have already been starting, so we want to hit the ground running with everything.”
Do you think you’ll be able to fulfill every platform point you’ve mentioned? “We’ve already started a lot of research on those, so some are already in the works. We’re pushing for a lot of those, and I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility at all. There’s nothing specifically concrete, but we want to leave a legacy for those things to be accomplished in the future.”
After 20 years, University student murder still unsolved Family, friends and investigators still grieve the loss BY ADINA SOLOMON The Red & Black Jennifer Lynn Stone’s life was just beginning. It was April 1992, and the 22-yearold advertising major stood at the verge of graduation. Stone, the youngest of five sisters, was known for her creativity in advertising. A promising career stretched ahead of her. But on April 23, life changed. Midnight was the last time Stone was seen alive. She was working on a class project with other students, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Suspicion was raised when she missed a group meeting at noon. After Stone did not come to another meeting at 6 p.m., her group members went to her house on North Hull Street and found her dead. The cause of death was ruled as strangulation. Investigators believe Stone was raped and killed in the morning hours of April 23. Her killer was never found. Twenty years later, Sandi Turner remembers her best friend. Turner, now a public information officer for Athens-Clarke County, met Stone during rush for Kappa Delta sorority. Turner was a year ahead of Stone at the University. “We formed an instant connection during rush, and she became my little sister pretty shortly thereafter,” she said. Turner took time off from school after Stone died, she said. Turner’s voice broke while describing her best friend. “Jenny was exceptionally creative,” she said. “Her father always called it her impish smile, which is a good description. She had this just incredibly sparkly, delightful personality. She was a great friend. She was very, very smart.” Peggy Kreshel, an associate profes-
“I also do appreciate that there's still interest in my friend because she was such a lovely, amazing person. She deserves to be remembered forever.” Sandi Turner, Stone's best friend
sor in advertising, remembers where Stone sat in her classroom — fourth seat from the right in the front row — when she taught her in a media planning course. Stone took Kreshel’s class the semester before she was killed. “She had a really fun personality,” Kreshel said. “She was always really enthusiastic and everything, even though I knew that this was not going to be her favorite class because she wanted to be creative. She wanted to design and do all those things.” Stone’s creativity still showed in class. Kreshel said she liked how Stone always dressed “funky” and “funny.” Turner chuckled when she recalled taking a trip with Stone across England. One day, the two hopped on a train and could not find seats because it was so crowded. “We made friends with a bunch of people who were in the same boat who sat in between cars by the bathrooms in the freezing cold all night playing poker,” Turner said. “It was just fun. We made good travel partners because no matter what happened, we managed to make it fun and find the humor in certain situations.” Stone enjoyed traveling and would have visited even more places as time went on, Turner said. “I’m glad I had that trip with her, and we had planned to take more of those sorts of journeys together but,” she said, pausing, “that didn’t happen.” Kreshel heard the news about Stone on the radio. “To me, she was a really bright spot, and I remember the day she was killed,” Kreshel said. “I remember hearing it on the radio and just being floored. I just couldn’t believe that anybody would do that.” Alan Brown, ACC assistant police chief, helped investigate Stone’s murder. Brown and other officers spent three days at her house collecting physical evidence. “I’ve worked a lot of cases, a lot of murders, over the years. This was really one of the most baffling cases I’d worked at that time because we had solved just about every murder for the past 10 years prior to this,” Brown said. “I guess for me having an absolute who-done-it that we just could not get a grip on after months and months was a different experience.” In order to find Stone’s killer, officers collected DNA from the crime scene and compared it to the DNA samples of suspects, but they never found a match, Brown said. Since 1992, most states have implemented programs where certain prisoners give their DNA samples after conviction to contribute to a large database of DNA, he said. The DNA from Stone’s house may someday find a match. “We’ve always hoped that one day we’d get a phone call telling us who it was,” Brown said. Kreshel said Stone’s death affected those who knew her in the advertising department. “The tragedy has been so magnified by the fact that they never found out who did it or why they did it,” she said. “That’s unimaginable to me as well why anyone would want to kill someone like her.” The police department has its theories. Brown said Stone’s killer most likely did not know Stone and was not from Athens. He was also probably
addicted to crack cocaine, he said. The killer may have been in and out of jail multiple times or may have died long ago from living a street life or natural causes. “I sure hope he gets justice in this world or another one,” Brown said. Turner said though participating in interviews is painful, she does so to remind people of what Stone’s death stands for. She said that college students sometimes think they live in a bubble, but students must remember to be vigilant because there are real threats to their safety. Turner said she lived in the college bubble until her friend was killed. “I think you grieve for people you love for the rest of your life when you lose them, and particularly having lost my best friend at that point in our lives the way that she died ... it’s a wound that never ever heals,” she said. “As time goes by, I would think that I’m gonna be more prepared for these anniversaries and every year, I realize how wrong I am. I remember her so vividly still, and I miss her so much.” Turner is not the only one who still remembers Stone’s life. Every time Kreshel walks by the building where Stone lived, she thinks of her former student. Stone’s name also lives on in the Jennifer Lynn Stone Memorial Scholarship in Creative Advertising and the Jennifer Lynn Stone Award for Creativity in Advertising. This year’s awards were presented on April 17. Turner speaks about her friend at the annual ceremony, said Jennifer Griffith, the chair of the Grady College Scholarship and Awards Committee. Griffith, a senior lecturer in advertising who taught in the department in 1992, said the scholarship is given to an advertising junior who exemplifies Stone’s passion for photography and her commitment to the creative aspects of advertising. The scholarship is for $4,000. On the other hand, the award is non-monetary and goes to an advertising senior who exemplifies the same qualities the scholarship honors, Griffith said. “She’s still very much in our hearts and minds because of the scholarship,” Kreshel said. “Those of us who taught her will never forget her.” Even though he investigated the case 20 years ago, Brown said it is always in the back of his mind. “I think most of the investigators who worked on that case, if they’re still working or they’re retired, they can be out mowing the yard or splitting logs or doing anything that you do in life and they start thinking about that case,” he said. “They start wondering. They start second-guessing. ‘Maybe we missed this or maybe this person did it.’” Sometimes, the investigators hear about a suspect who was arrested in a similar case in another part of the country and call the station so police can check DNA samples, Brown said. “It’s the kind of case you don’t ever forget,” he said. Turner said she tries to focus on Stone’s life rather than dwelling on what could have been. “I also do appreciate that there’s still interest in my friend because she was such a lovely, amazing person,” she said. “She deserves to be remembered forever.”
What do you think was your moment during the campaign? “All the little things. Honestly, it’s the people. We had such a great group of support, and it’s really humbling to see so many friends and even people we’ve never met before stand beside us. That’s what I’m always gonna remember, and it’s an honor to be able to serve the University for the next year.”
How did you feel about the runoff process? “It’s a really interesting process, and it’s been the first one since I’ve been here. It was honestly starting over from scratch. We didn’t have much precedent to go on. We didn’t have anyone who had seen the same things, so we had to innovate and I’m really proud of our team. We got some great people working, and we had some great ideas, so that was really the end of it.”
Are you planning on restructuring Senate? “Not on Senate — restructuring committees actually. That’s something we’ll be working on during the summer, but our main thing is to make the committees more accessible to every student. That’s where all the work gets done and open those doors.” — Compiled by Jamie Gottlieb

THE RED & BLACK
Food Services manages waste Leftovers donated daily to local Athens charities BY TAYLOR WEST The Red & Black
Wallace Blackmon, owner of the land next to the Mama’s Boy, flies the Confederate flag every April in honor of Confederate History Month. KRISTY L. DENSMORE/Staff
Mama’s Boy disputes flag next door BY SEAN WARD The Red & Black Local restaurant, Mama’s Boy, is a hot-spot for many University students, but the huge Confederate flag that flies a few feet away from the restaurant has made it a hot topic. Mama’s Boy has been dealing with this dilemma for the last six years. When the owners of the restaurant acquired the lot of land on which to build, they knew there was a little space right next door that belonged to someone else, but had no idea that the owner would fly a large Confederate flag right next to the restaurant for the entire month of April every year. To the owners of the restaurant, it is more than just a flag. “It’s just a symbol of hatred to me and to most everyone else who sees it,” said Cooper Currin, the co-owner of Mama’s Boy. “That flag evokes strong anger, and it’s not a part of the South we need to commemorate.” Owners of Mama’s Boy have posted signs in front of the restaurant that read “Not Our Flag” to try to combat the issue. They have even gone so far as to post updates on their Facebook page about it, but it still does not yield the results that they would like. Currin receives three to four phone calls a day for the first few weeks that the flag is up and continues to speak with irate people by phone and through email for the rest of the month. “All you can do is say, ‘I’m sorry,’ and move on with business,” she said. After speaking with people who object the flag, they often suggest the owners of Momma’s Boy change their official website to reflect their views on the issue. To Currin, though, that is just another distraction from focusing on her business. “It’s something that I just don’t want to have to deal with,” Currin said. She said to customers, the owner of the flag has no image. “People obviously want to be heard, but this guy is faceless and nameless to them,” she said. She has even gone so far as to start handing out his phone number to people who have an issue with the flag. Warren Blackmon, the owner of the flag, could not see it more differently. Blackmon, who jokingly refers to himself as “The Whitest Blackmon in Town,” has been flying his flag in that spot since before Mama’s Boy was built and doesn’t plan to take it down. “I’ve been flying a flag in that lot for 10 years,” Blackmon said. “Southerners should honor their heritage.” Blackmon said that he flies the Confederate battle flag every April to commemorate Confederate History Month. Confederate History Month is recognized by six state governments, including Georgia, to recognize the history of the Confederate States of America. “It doesn’t represent bigotry or racism, and I’m definitely not trying to stir anything up,” said Blackmon. “Just because I fly a Confederate flag doesn’t mean I’m in the KKK.” Mama’s Boy has offered to buy the lot for $2,000, according to Blackmon, but until they pay his price of $140,000, the flag will stay. For all 10 years Blackmon has been flying the flag, though, he has had problems with people who oppose it. “I’ve had 37 flags stolen, including some stolen by Mama’s Boy employees,” Blackmon said. “All of the people who stole them should be arrested.” Blackmon also disagrees with owners of Mama’s Boy that having the flag nearby may deter customers. “If anything, I think it helps them,” Blackmon said. “It’s really easy to find when people say, ‘It’s right by the big flag.’” Donnell Francis, a University senior from Lilburn, regularly eats at Mama’s Boy. As an African-American student, he says that he is not bothered by the flag. “It wouldn’t deter me from eating there,” Francis said. “I would just be curious as to why it was flying out front.”

At the end of the day, after University students have enjoyed all the Snelling pizza they can manage, three or four 30-gallon trash cans come out of University dining halls each day. But Jeanne Fry, the director of food services, said things could be worse considering the 8,600 meal plan customers they accommodate on a regular basis. “That is bones, and apple cores, and napkins and everything, so that is not a lot of waste,” Fry said. “I’d say all units are equally conscious of overproduction and waste.” Though the University can’t do anything about the leftover uneaten food the students throw away, there are efforts to try and make good use of the leftover food the University did not serve. Fry said if there are full plates of a dish left over that didn’t go to the line to be served, those dishes are donated to Full Plate, a food recovery program that collects left over food from restaurants to give to homeless shelters. “Food services is the largest donor to that program in Clarke County,” J. Michael Floyd, the executive director of food services said. “That is a way that we are very good stewards with our leftovers in order to make sure that they are used properly.” Stacey Favors, program director of Full Plate, said they pick up food from the University daily and have been partnered with them since 1993. “We are fortunate to be in a community that has a large institution that is willing to work with us,” she said. “Mr. Floyd is a good guy and very supportive of this program and has been from the beginning.” Favors said the University provides 50 to 60 percent of the food they serve. “A lot of [the agencies we serve] don’t have a full-time cook or staff. So the savings they get from this food they can use for services for the people,” she said. “We don’t give food to individuals, we give surplus food to non-profit agencies that provide services to homeless people and recovering drug addicts and alcoholics.” Fry said the University monitors how much food is going to Full Plate because even though it is for charity, the dining halls want to be efficient. If they send too much, it would indicate that food services are overproducing. Minimizing waste But the University is not content with just making good use of their waste — they want to minimize it. With so many students and an allyou-can eat style of dining, it is possible for large amounts of food, water and materials to be thrown away. But according to Fry and Floyd, this is not the case at the University. “There actually is a very small percentage of waste from the dining halls,” Floyd said. He also said the University has a pulper system, essentially an industrial trash grinder to minimize trash volumes from the dining halls. According to Floyd, since the pulper system has been in place, the dining halls are sending at least 70 percent less trash to the landfills. The University also employs a computerized system which calculates how much of a given recipe to make based on historical trends of how much is consumed by students. Using this system, the dining halls try to minimize how much extra food is produced. “We operate on a three-week cycle menu, and at the end of each meal period, we record how much we serve of each of those items so the next time it comes back up the system automatically goes back into its data base and will forecast for our chefs how much to prepare based on past eating trends of students,” Floyd said. Sustainable habits Floyd said the University took measures to minimize waste since before the trend of “sustainability” ever really took off. “We have been very proactive in the things that we do,” Floyd said. “The computerized food production system was put in here in the 1970s.” Fry said the University has been very proactive, the pulping systems were ahead of their time and the dining halls have recycled since the 1980s. “We compost with the bio-conversion center on our pre-consumer waste

Full Plate delivers food to local agencies like the Boys and Girls Club and the battered women and children's shelter in Athens. PHOTOS BY BRIANA GERDEMAN/Staff from two of our kitchens, so we do lots and lots of things to make sure that waste is controlled,” Fry said. Floyd said another way Food Services keep waste at a minimum is through napkin placement. He said putting napkins on the tables instead of by trays reduces consumption by 50 percent. According to the Food Services website, it also consolidates most deliveries to a central storage facility, reducing delivery truck costs.
“Food Services is the largest donor to [Full Plate] in Clarke County. That is a way we are very good stewards with our leftovers in order to make sure they are used properly.” J. Michael Floyd, University Director of Food Services
A student’s choice But very little can be done to prevent uneaten food that is thrown away by students, according to Floyd. “They choose to be our customers so I don’t think it’s our job to say ‘well you paid for this but now I don’t want you to take it,’” Fry said. Ultimately, the dining halls are in the customer service business. “At the end of the day it is the students’ decision,” Floyd said. Students eat more during the first few weeks. As the semester goes on, they take less and eat healthier, according to Floyd. “They start doing things in moderation,” Fry said. Some students such as Joseph Neder, a freshman business major from Jones Creek, attempt to become part of the clean-tray club. “I’d say 90 percent of the food I get, I eat. Probably one meal a day I’ll eat everything I get,” Neder said. Neder said he feels throwing away lots of food is a waste, but doesn’t believe students really care to minimize how much they waste. “Everyone is guilty of it, but if kids could learn to know what they eat and know how to manage it that would be good,” Neder said. “But I don’t think students care. Since its unlimited they can go as often as they want, get seconds or thirds. I really don’t think they care.” Kristen Petersen, a junior English major from Augusta, also said students frequently take more than they can eat. And usually don’t even think about it. “I think its kind of hard because you’re not really thinking about it when you’re getting the food and throwing it away,” she said. “But it probably is really wasteful.”

Global LEAD contract to change next year Adventure, education components could be split BY LINDSEY COOK The Red & Black
Carolyn Dilz, Jessica Ragsdale and Graham Williams rode on elephants during their study abroad to Cape Town, South Africa with Global LEAD. The University might split the adventure and education components of the program. Courtesy Carolyn Dilz the program, with other activities available as a nonUGA option, and not for academic credit.” Despite the University’s firm take on program separation, Global LEAD seems to be left in the dark about these hefty changes. Robbie Reese, CEO of Global LEAD, said he had agreed with Fallows “in principle” to the separation, but hasn’t worked out the details yet. He said the “administrative modification” was “Noel Fallows’ idea” and that Global LEAD believes it will be “immaterial to the overall Global LEAD experience.” According to program participants, the main draw of Global LEAD is the adventure activities, which would be optional under Fallows’ new system and
wouldn’t tie into academics. “I was really drawn to the adventure aspects like cage-diving, the safari and bungee jumping,” said Carolyn Dilz, a senior biological sciences major from Decatur who went on the Capetown trip in 2010. The University’s agreement with Global LEAD is a significant departure from the faculty-led program model for study abroad. Contacts for the Global LEAD agreement were made by accomplished University alumni who began the company as well as faculty already on board with their vision. After talks began in November 2008, the first program in Capetown, South Africa ran in Summer 2009 . The Office of International Education

approved it as a non-traditional study abroad program, offering independent studies for University students with no credit-baring courses. The company took 49 students that year from two different universities. The next year, the company offered an additional program in Greece and took 134 students from eight different universities, according to documents. The group also began offering credit for two courses through the history department: FCID 3900S Service Learning and FCID 3800 Leadership. Fallows said these courses generate a lot of credit hours for the history department from University and transient students. In Summer 2011, Global
LEAD took 142 students to South Africa and Greece from 11 different universities. This year, with an additional program in Ecuador, they expect to take even more — 191 students from 25 different universities. The increase in students has led to an almost $1 million increase in capital. In 2008, Global LEAD took in $43,450. In 2009, the group collected $310,712 and by 2010, the number rose to $919,512, according to documents. These increases led to a surplus of about $200,000 for the first time last year and Global LEAD split into two sections — a not-for-profit and a for-profit. The forprofit houses study abroad and the not-for-profit puts on volunteer activities with the “Global LEAD family.”

The University’s partnership with Global LEAD may be hitting a snag, according to documents obtained by The Red & Black. The company takes University students on study abroad trips centering around leadership, education, adventure and diplomacy. The trips involve meta-reflection, writing a bucket list, service opportunities and adventure activities such as cage-diving with great white sharks, zipline tours and bungee jumping, according to its website. While the company is experiencing a rapid increase in participation and finances, the University is changing the game, shying away from adventure activities that form a substantial portion of the trips. “These once-in-a-lifetime adventures not only get your heart pumping but also teach you to overcome your fears and believe in possibility,” Global LEAD’s website said. “As you embrace these experiences, you will begin to feel a new level of personal triumph and sense of empowerment.” Noel Fallows, associate dean of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, has said these types of activities need to be separated entirely from academics by Summer 2013. “Of fundamental importance to the future success of our partnership is our agreement to separate the adventure activities entirely from the academic component,” he wrote in an email to The Red & Black. “Students will be offered a separate ‘adventure cost’ associated exclusively with Global LEAD if they wish to pursue the adventure activities ... From our point of view we want to see emphasis placed squarely on the academic components of
It is not soliciting donations and runs off of last year’s surplus, according to Reese. “A non-profit has a lot of restrictions on its ability to compensate and retain its talent, and I didn’t want it to be an issue,” Reese said. “We didn’t want a checkbox and an IRS form determining our destiny.” But even after the program’s new status came along, the University’s agreement with it did not change. The University still reserves the right to audit Global LEAD on finances, but hasn’t done so yet. Fallows didn’t name any specific way the Franklin College would check Global LEAD’s use of program funds other than full disclosure on the program’s part. “We expect full disclosure about financial issues,” he said. As a not-for-profit, Global LEAD was required to publish its financial statements including the amount taken in from program fees, how money was used and salaries of its leadership. This information is no longer public record. Despite the gray areas in the agreement between Global LEAD and the University, the trips garner student attention and participants speak positively of the programs. “I was just too excited to look at other [study abroad trips],” said Ryan Sichelstiel , a freshman speech communication and advertising major from Perry who will go on the Capetown trip this year. “I just wanted to be a part of the Global LEAD family, I guess.” Reese said the new model has advantages. It allows professors to concentrate completely on education instead of faculty-led programs where professors need to work out logistics and finances along with coursework. “Status quo is hard to change,” he said. “I often say the status quo is our biggest challenge. To change an institution, to create a model that doesn’t fit into a pre-established mindset is difficult. That doesn’t make it wrong, it just makes it different.”

the money lost from state budget cuts, which has kept faculty and staff salaries from increasing at a rate similar to tuition. “The tuition increases have replaced about half of the state budget cuts, so we’ve been losing ground,” he said. “It’s going to take state help to get faculty salaries up. President Adams said he hoped that help would be coming from the state in the upcoming year.” Jackson said several other factors help attract faculty to the University besides salary: institutional reputation, the ability to work with respected colleagues within a field, the national reputation of the department in a particular discipline and “frankly just the quality of life in the Athens community — sometimes even weather.”
$78,400
The University ranked No. 249 in the country for highest paid professors in the 2011-2012 academic year, according to data collected by the American Association of University Professors. The University paid full-time professors third most in the state — falling behind the Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University. According to the survey, Georgia Tech ranked No. 48 in the country, with Georgia State at No. 135. The University’s average salary for a full-time professor was $107,800, with associate professors making $79,200, assistant professors making $75,300 and instructors receiving $52,500. Vice President of Public Affairs Tom Jackson said the University regularly keeps track of its rankings compared with peer institutions. Jackson noted the rankings can be used as examples to help maintain a competitive edge. “In general, you want to maintain competitiveness so that other institutions can’t lure away your very talented faculty and staff,” he said. According to a Red & Black article from 2011, some of the highest paid faculty receive about $250,000 to $320,000 a year. As part of the University’s 2012 strategic plan, it wants to “raise faculty salaries to match median of aspirational institutions to increase competitiveness for faculty hires.” These institutions include the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, the University of Virginia and Cornell University. In the survey of more than 1,200 universities, UNC came in at No. 85. It

pays its full-time professors an average salary of $144,000. UVA came in at No. 82 paying an average of $141,600 for full-time professors. And Cornell came in at No. 20 paying an average $161,800. Also in the survey, the University is below median for full-time and associate professor and instructor salaries. It is only above median for assistant professor salaries. Although faculty and staff have not received a pay increase since 2009, University President Michael Adams said he felt confident there would be raises for the 2014-2015 academic year, in a statement at March’s media briefing. The report says on average fulltime professor salaries have increased by $25,000 since 2000. Yet, Adams received a $50,000 pay raise in June, making him the highest paid University president in the state. According to a report by the AAUP, tuition and fees at public universities across the country have risen 72 percent over the past 10 years. The University’s expected cost of attendance has risen from $11,530 in the 2002-2003 school year to its present $20,820. Jackson said the rising tuition has effectively replaced only about half of

Campaign season — and SGA elections — are finally over. But now what?

t’s all done. The T-shirts, stickers, Facebook statuses and — well, that couch — can be packed up after weeks of campaigning for the next Student Government Association executive board. The Ignite party has taken the cake in this year’s contentious — in comparison to last year, at least — election. And we congratulate them. We know it wasn’t easy, especially after the inability of either party to garner a majority vote in the general election led to a runoff. But the work doesn’t end here. Neither, we hope, do the momentum or the lessons learned. We saw an overwhelmingly amicable campaign process through the general election. Parties maintained a relative decorum despite the circumstances. But when the runoff struck, a different side emerged to many of the candidates, both in the running and out of it. A column in “The Odyssey,” written in poor taste, went viral. A column submitted to The Red & Black from a former presidential candidate condemned The Blueprint for their alleged failure to maintain a text message conversation — an endorsement from a figure who claimed to be apolitical — and it brought about a bevy of back-and-forth snark. Throughout the span of election days, the decorum ruptured as parties and staffers fought to the finish. Enthusiasm on the part of non-SGA members, however, seemed to plummet. The internality of the candidates returned ashore. So to Ignite, we respect your efforts. We’re glad you brought attention back to your organization. But we won’t forget that you are — and already have been — members of a group that, for all its talk of “changes” and “catalysts,” has done little to prove itself effective. We will continue to be your watchdog. We will retain our skepticism. But we won’t abandon our hopes that you can keep your promises. — Melissa Buckman is the opinions editor of The Red & Black

The fifth-year senior: late to the End of Days N
obody expects the end of days. I certainly didn’t. The signs were there, though. For the past four years, everything has, more or less, gone according to prophecy, and now the joke’s on us nonbelievers. Morals were relaxed. Plenty of disasters — natural or otherwise — happened. Thankfully, my crops were largely unharmed and the locust swarms infrequent, though I did battle an infestation of some sort in the kitchen of every single one of my rented residences (In addition to the nuclear holocaust, Athens cockroaches are also wellequipped to survive the Armageddon, and the DIY lake-of-fire treatment usually did more harm than good). Furthermore, Sodom and Gomorrah were raised from desert sands only to be reborn as SandBar and Magnolia’s, where the wicked fled from all corners of the East-West route to indulge in $2 O-bomb night. I was warned. They cautioned that I would change my major multiple times, and so I did, despite my 18-year-old self-delusion that law school was my destiny. And though there is no time of greater certainty than the 11th grade, I ultimately never got engaged to my high school sweetheart. Some of it was for the better. It’s just hard to remember that graduation for the class of 2012 is nigh. And here I am, watching helplessly and in envy as my friends get raptured to their post-graduate lives. They’re on their way to top-tier law schools, research fellowships, med schools — and some straight to the job they set out to get four years ago. Certainly, some of them are trapped in a post-college limbo, perhaps even back home, receiving an allowance. And many of them will pass on their law school debts to generations upon generations of their descendants. But in some ways I still think I’d prefer to be one of them. It would have meant that somewhere along the way, I did something right, even if it was just sticking to a plan for once. Down here, only we rising fifth-year

seniors remain, our excuses abundant. We’re making up for lost time spent in the wrong major, some of us say. The classes we needed to graduate were always full, others add. The ones banding together in the belief that being one of the righteous ones is overrated just shrug and enjoy the super-senior privilege of a mid-January registration appointment, able to get first dibs on late afternoon Intro to Entomology at last. I’m fairly certain I caught a glimpse into my future as a freshman when one of them grabbed my arm as I walked by a flickeringlight aisle on the fifth floor of the library, looking up at me from their seat on the step stool with mad eyes, to tell me about a special trick they learned involving leaving your PE class until the very last semester to maximize HOPE funds. I doubt this would have worked for me. Based on my HOPE hours, I should have graduated in the winter of 1847.

offices as I cram for the 2017 GRE in the one booth at Walkers where my utility bills are now being forwarded. Maybe I’ll even remove the birthday year from my Facebook profile and set out to make new, younger friends, who kind of just won’t ever ask me where I came from or what I’m doing. If anything, owing to the fact that I have fulfilled nearly every single graduation requirement save for the ones involving completing a major, my course load next year is bound to be a breeze. There are so many anxiety-easing hobbies I have yet to attempt, after all, like adopting a combative and conspiracy-hungry persona with which to anonymously comment on online articles. All that article about tree-limb removal needs is a reminder that there’s something they’re not telling us about 9/11, and not just anybody has the time to take on that job. Above all, I will stick to the most noble of missions: correcting any and every neck wallet passerby I can who dares utter that sham of a moniker, “MLC.” I shouldn’t have pulled so many nighters chugging ineffective, FDA-unapproved gas station energy aides and skimming the wrong edition textbook of Revelations. I shouldn’t have crammed for any sort of judgment day the night before, or opted out of that Book of Life fee on Oasis, which is also coincidentally the interface exclusively used in every civilization’s interpretation of the underworld. But it’s all added up to give me one more year — and God knows there have been people who’ve taken longer — to make the best of what everyone assures me is the best time of my (admittedly non-eternal) life. It may feel strange and lonely for a while, but I’ve heard it’s worse out there, in what’s been callously dubbed “the real world.” And, as they say, there ain’t no room for the wicked. — Alina Yudkevich is a senior from Marietta majoring in advertising and film studies

tanks, boy shorts, slips and a lot less, and danced until 1:30 a.m. I went to the Delta Sig party at the beginning of the year with some friends. It was fun, but not nearly as much of an experience as Pajama Jam. Both parties had the usual staples: girls dancing on makeshift poles — a pillar in the Delta Sig house and a stage support column at the Arena, for instance. People also stormed the platform the DJ spun from — a provisional one at the house and a stage at the Arena — and, at both, there was some very close dancing. Since frats in the Interfraternity Council generally have parties on a more regular basis, the craziness that ensued at Delta Sig was more of your usual party fare — just like the ones you see on TV. A hodgepodge of

people attended, and the frat brothers weren’t identifiable, other than the ones both hosting and partying at the same time. But Pajama Jam was different, and it looked different, too. The Alphas and other National Pan-Hellenic Council organizations — namely the Deltas, Alpha Kappa Alphas and Ques — occasionally strolled through the more than 3,000-person crowd. At parties like this, the Greek members stand out — you know who brought the party to you and who made it all happen. Pajama Jam was originally supposed to end at 2:30 a.m., but a scuffle that escalated into broken bottles and party-goers leaving the Arena ended the fun early. But what’s a great party story if you don’t end it on a crazy note? For my first authentic college party, I had a great time and realized I’m pretty good at spitting game in the process. So I might skip IFC parties in the future, but I’ll be at Pajama Jam next year. —Kelcie Willis is a freshman from Stone Mountain majoring in broadcast journalism and sociology

wo weeks ago, strapping young geniuses named Stacy and Adam created a Tumblr called “Texts from Hillary,” pairing a dramatic black-and-white photo of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with satirical texts she “sent” to public figures. In the wake of this Tumblr’s success, Clinton has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity with trendy, young eligible voters — a popularity she desperately needed at various stages in her political life. And I dreamt I had a text conversation with her the other day. It went a little something like this: Me: OMG you’re on Tumblr! Check it out: Texts from Hillary. You’re finally considered cool again! I mean, you never really were, but ... Hillary Clinton: Who is this? Me: It’s Julia, remember? I was a huge fan of yours back in the beginning of 2008! HC: Sorry, I had to clear out a bunch of my old contacts when I became Secretary of State. You got deleted some time after I added John Boehner. Me: That’s cold, Hill. HC: Don’t “Hill” me. Where were you when I was in the trenches? When I was being slaughtered in the media in the late, terrible days of 2008? I’ve been called “The Lady Macbeth of Little Rock.” My pantsuits were openly mocked in the streets. Me: But I was a Clinton supporter for a while at least! I checked your website and even watched those silly videocasts. My sister and I both seriously considered buying “Hillblazer” T-shirts. You are in this month’s issue of “Elle,” and I bought it for that reason. I’ve read Carl Bernstein’s biography of you. I’m, like, one of your biggest fans! HC: Again with the “Hill.” And you didn’t even buy a T-shirt! I don’t need fans — I need supporters. Me: We decided to spend the money on Obama stickers instead. It was just always so hard to connect with you. And I’m sorry I abandoned you when you most needed people like me to be on your side, Hill. You’ve had to put up with so much crap in the media. People forget that so many great political ideas — health care reform, children’s welfare efforts and more — originated with you and not with your presidential boss. HC: Well, why reach out to me now? Me: I think people are finally ready to accept that, yeah, there’s a woman in charge of how this country is perceived by the larger world — and that’s cool. That picture of you, being a badass and taking no crap from anyone — that really inspired people. Whether in your commencement address for Wellesley or even as First Lady of Arkansas alongside your smarmy husband, you know how to do your job, Hill. And you do it well. “Texts from Hillary” has been so successful because, as much as people like to hate you, they like even more to see you kicking ass and taking names. Because it means they have someone competent and successful on America’s side. Me: One time I referred to you as a conniving shrew, Hill. HC: WTF you called me a shrew?! Me: Lolz that text sent early. But for reals, Madame Secretary — continue on with your ass-kicking diplomacy and political know how. You inspire girls to see you as a leader rather than as a cautionary tale. HC: Meh, it’s OK. Me: When are you going to give up those heinous scrunchies? HC: Never. Lolz.

After hearing it labeled as “The Biggest Party in the Southeast,” I made it a point to go. It’s my first year here, and though I’ve been to an enjoyable Delta Sigma Phi house rave, it didn’t leave me excited for college social life. Pajama Jam would be my first real college party — one where the people watching was great, the dancing was even better and the end was unpredictable.

Sex can be a challenging subject to discuss. Many of us are uncomfortable talking about it. This subject is so critical, however, that we have to get past the blushing and have the conversation. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and this April, communities across the nation are proclaiming “It’s time … to talk about it!” This year’s campaign encourages individuals and communities to bring healthy sexuality into the forefront on how we connect with and respect one another in order to prevent sexual violence. According to the Department of Justice, between 85-90% of sexual violence occurs between people that know each other, not strangers. The more an individual knows about healthy sexuality, the more likely they are to be able to identify sexual abuse and violence when it occurs. Prevention needs to go beyond a “no means no” model and instead focus on what safe, equitable, respectful relationships look like. By talking about “it” we are making the connection that promoting healthy behaviors encourages relationships that are consensual, communicative and informed. Healthy sexuality is having the knowledge and power to express sexuality in ways that enrich our lives. Healthy sexuality is free from coercion, discrimination and violence. We must also understand that sexuality is much more than sex. Healthy sexuality is emotional, social, cultural and physical. It is our values, attitudes, feelings, interactions and behaviors. Students need accurate information about relationships, sexuality and positive behaviors to they can make healthy sexual choices for the rest of their lives. These choices impact our futures, loved ones, communities and society. All of us have a role in building safe, healthy relationships and communities. When we start the conversation about healthy sexuality, we raise awareness. Prevent sexual violence by talking about “it.” It’s time … to talk about it. If you are a faculty member or part of a student group that would like to schedule a presentation about healthy relationships, domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking, please contact me at 5427233 or tmisra@uhs.uga.edu.

Fear, neuroses run males’ entry into the dreaded friend zone I t’s Friday night, and you’re about to go where the people are. Downtown, house party, whatever. There will be members of the opposite sex. Harrowing. You arrive in your best attempt at looking good without seeming like you’re trying — standard procedure for any social situation. You start by addressing any friends or acquaintances in the room. It’s the safe, polite course of action, but it doesn’t last. Eventually, conversations end, people get bored or thirsty and they walk away. You now have to branch out and meet new people. Some of these new people will be women. Part of you wants them to be women. This part is often below the belt. The other parts of you, such as the part behind the eyes, is terrified by this prospect. Women can equate to awkwardness and rejection. The part thumping in your chest agrees with the part behind your eyes and shows you by being loud, violent and chock full of adrenaline. Regardless, the time has come to acknowledge the presence of females. If you’re lucky, they were part of a conversation with a mutual friend, and you already have that social common ground. If you’re even luckier, they’ll approach you. We call that the jackpot — it’s a rare thing. You’re probably going to have to make the move yourself. That is not a comforting thought, but every guy has to do it. So you’re finally in a conversation with a woman, whatever trials you had to undergo. Congratulations, but you aren’t done. This is your first impression. This is who you are to this person. If you screw up, that is probably who you will always be to her. The stakes are high: you don’t want to be an asshole and she doesn’t want to talk to one. You make eye contact to establish that both of you are real people. You make a couple jokes and come off as sufficiently charming. You each have a couple drinks — not too much — to keep the night fun. There’s only one problem: you’re just another guy. How do you distinguish yourself as the guy to get her phone number, or even the guy to wake up beside tomorrow morning? You’re left with one option: you have to express interest. Cue inner monologue.

friend tonight. Would it be rude to assume she wants sex? You certainly don’t want to come off as another jerk who’s only interested in her body. You’re better than that. The drama of fear and indecision continues on and on into nothing. Keep talking, keep having a good time and go home alone. If you don’t make a move, you don’t make an ass of yourself. It’s no simple fear of rejection that sends men home without a female. The neuroses go far deeper than that. There are those of us who feel trapped in a hurricane of social pressures and counter-pressures. Countless social forces, even those as trite and seemingly innocuous as romantic comedies, have been occupied with identifying the scumbags of the male sex for over a decade now. The only problem is now, men are made to feel that basic sexual attraction is a shallow, shameful thing because it’s often the defining feature of the archetypal lowest of the low. It creates the impression that it is no longer an acceptable basis for action. Or, at least, that’s how it appears. The volatile mix of potential widespread disapproval and standard post-pubescent neuroses has ingrained this crippled theory of interaction into the minds of self-aware men. It’s just so easy to talk yourself out of making yourself vulnerable and hitting on someone that any reason will do, and there are always ample reasons. I would love to wrap this tale up with a bow and a happy ending, as it would be much more comforting to find a silver lining amongst the hurricane of indecision. But it wouldn’t be the truth. This paralytic thought process is there. It is the new, sinister incarnation of that most theoretical social construct: the friend zone. But it’s not women who imprison men in this empty void. It’s fear. — Monty Lucco is a sophomore from Woodstock majoring in English

Possible Google ‘Street View’ drive at Univ. No definite date set for mapping BY NICK WATSON The Red & Black
Google’s Street View car might be visiting the University in the near future.

The scenes around Sanford Stadium will soon enter the World Wide Web. Google announced it will be driving their Google Street View car through the
University in the near future, according to the University’s department of public affairs. The street view of the constant jaywalkers on Baldwin Street will soon be visible to the Bulldog Nation at large. Google Maps has mapped the streets surrounding the University, but hasn’t yet gone on campus. “They never mapped the University campus, which was an oversight on their part,” said Pete Konenkamp, broadcast coordinator for the

University’s public affairs department. “They asked us if they could, and we said yes.” No determined date has been set for the image mapping, but Konenkamp said they set a tentative date for May onward. “We said yes back in November of 2011, so we’re just waiting for them to get their act together and bring their Google car … to come and map the campus,” Konenkamp said. Google Street View was initially released on May 25, 2007. It is now available in 12 languages. The stable release of the panoramic map application was April 3, now integrating parts of Google Art Project. Students gave opinions on how the technology could help the University. “I would think that it would be helpful for incoming freshmen,” said Taylor Ford, a senior political science major from Peachtree City. The Fe d e r a l C o m m u n i c a t i o n s Commission fined Google $25,000 on April 13 for impeding an investigation on the collection of unencrypted data. Previous Street View roams gathered unintentional information from citizens while using WiFi signals to offer “location based services.” Google is not facing any further charges, but may challenge the $25,000 fine. The information gathered included emails and passwords from users in the area. Data gathered from the collection program was not released. The incident occurred years ago, and the FCC said in a statement that Google took months to turn over the information. The engineer responsible invoked the Fifth Amendment, according to the Washington Post, to not incriminate himself. “As the FCC notes in their report, we provided all the materials the regulators felt they needed to conclude their investigation,” a Google spokesman said in a statement, “and we were not found to have violated any laws.”
Student tuition to increase BY MEGAN INGALLS AND RAISA HABERSHAM The Red & Black

University students will have to pay $182, or 5 percent, more in tuition next fall, the Board of Regents announced Tuesday. This is only the second highest hike in the state as the Georgia Institute of Technology will see a tuition increase of 6 percent. Though all other institutions in the University System of Georgia received increases, some just saw a 2.5 percent hike. John Brown, Regents vice chancellor of fiscal affairs, said the varying tuition amounts were made to increase competitiveness with peer institutions. “Differentiating tuition among the four research institutions is a new approach,” Brown said in a press release. “This approach ensures each of the research institutions can fulfill their respective academic missions while being competitively priced with their peer institutions.” Chris Harper, a freshman pre-journalism major from Athens, said he would be interested to know why the Regents chose to increase tuition this way. “Tuition is already high enough. I don't know why they increased it more for us,” he said. “I don't know what their reasoning behind it is, but it's interesting.”

Rock me ‘Amadeus’
Amanda Facemire didn’t plan on any great, life-changing discoveries in India. But then she found yoga and found out how much she loved it — and once she was back in Athens, she decided to share.
The Town & Gown Players have readied the season’s next play: a production of ‘Amadeus,’ which examines the life of Mozart. Except there is a lot of jealousy to go with the classical music.

THE RED & BLACK
Student shares lessons of yoga Trip abroad leads to new perspective on life BY RANDY SCHAFER The Red & Black Amanda Facemire found herself in India. During her study abroad program, the telecommunications major also found a new calling and a new profession — through yoga. “I would even say that trip to India changed my life,” Facemire said. “There aren’t many things I would say about that I came back from with just a completely different perspective about who I was and what the world was.” Her new perspective wasn’t intentional, though. It just was. “I didn’t go to find myself or anything,” she said. “One of my friends when I was over there even made a joke about that to me … and he was like, ‘Why do white people keep coming here to find yourselves?’ … I just wanted to go somewhere different. And it was different all right.” Facemire started practicing yoga when she was 15 years old with her mother. But the art of yoga didn’t begin to fuel her soul until her international trip, where she became certified to be an instructor. It’s also where she learned the true meaning of yoga. “It comes from the root-word in Sanskrit, ‘yuj,’ and it means to join or unite,” Facemire said. “Essentially it’s about uniting your mind with your body, but the forms of yoga
you see in the States, it’s doing poses and working with your breath in order to get your mind back with your body.” For some, this meaning can go even further. “There are also forms of yoga that exist that aren’t physical at all,” Facemire said, “because there are some people that believe that doing poses makes you more attached to your body and therefore doesn’t prepare you for death, or the ultimate liberation as well.” Now 21, with a second certification from the Rahasya Yogic Arts training program in Athens, Facemire is giving her own lessons and practicing yoga on a daily basis. Her teachings blend styles from the East, maintaining the use of Sanskrit, but Facemire has also added her own twist: while teaching a lesson she will play the sitar for her students. “I’m fortunate enough to [have been] taught les-

sons through the study abroad program,” she said, “which I fell in love with after that … we always did yoga without music, which took me some time to get used to when I came back.” Facemire has also incorporated a style of calland-response chanting, or Kirtan, that she picked up locally. “It’s nice because it sets an intention for your practice,” she said. “It basically gives you something to focus on whenever you do a pose, as opposed to thinking, ‘Oh my God, this is so terrible, when is this downward-facing-dog going to end.’” Her students approve. “The meditation has been really good, it’s just good vibes,” said David Cruz, guitarist of the instrumental band Black Tar Dub, who’s attended regularly. “I really enjoy the chanting, it gets your mind focused on that sound and you can just flow over the top of it and ride that wave.” And taking Facemire’s classes have helped Cruz medically. “I got hit by an 18-wheeler and it’s straightened my neck,” he said. “It’s pushing the flexibility in my neck and I’m not really a flexible person, I can’t even touch my toes. And now I’m really pushing it.” Practicing almost religiously, yoga has given Facemire a new outlet. “It’s helped me through a lot of things, emotional imbalances in particular,” she said. “I had a couple of stressful semesters just in the past couple of months and it’s nice because it’s that one point in the day when you get to be selfish and be good to yourself and you’re not just going, going, going.” It’s also humbling. “And it’s also a nice reminder,” she said. “It brings you back to the idea that whatever is going on in your life is really not all that important and you are so small and insignificant in the best kind of way.” It has also guided Facemire in her academic world. “It helps me not get as stressed as I used to about school,” she said. “I’m more collected now and I organize my time better. I usually find that when I do yoga in the morning I’m more focused on my school work and I’m more focused throughout the day.” Through her lessons, Facemire is attempting to transmit what she has learned and experienced in her own time abroad to students in Athens.
“I just think everyone should do yoga,” she said. “I think it can be really beneficial. And I want to take out the idea of competition, because it’s easy to let your eyes wander and look over at the other mats and think, ‘They’re so much better than me,’ or ‘That guy’s really amazing’ — and that’s not at all significant and that’s not what it’s all about.” She wants to break down preconceived notions as well as barriers. “Reading yogic texts people get the impression that yoga is a religion,” Facemire said. “But that’s not it at all. Words like ‘Godhead’ and stuff are used and there’s the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna’s teachings … but really you can take yoga and apply it to any religion.” Or you take religion out of the equation. “Instead of putting God behind it, you could say a feeling of oneness with the people around you,” Facemire said, “or a feeling of compassion. I guess that’s what really speaks to me.” Although she’s a telecommunications major, Facemire is practical about her future job opportunities — and where yoga has a place in her life. “Honestly the way I would imagine myself breaking into the broadcast business is writing for television, but I know that’s not a steady profession,” she said. "So it’s nice having a yoga license on the side.” No matter what her future holds, Facemire will continue to practice and teach yoga — for money or

Watson said it was tough to deal with the negativity early on, but was helped through it by friends and family. “Some people would approach me and ask, ‘What do you think about this? I read this about you,’” she said. “And I would be like, ‘I didn’t even see that, so I don’t really think about it.’ I know who I am and I know [what] my identity is, and those people don’t even know me.” Since returning to campus, Watson’s life has started to recede from the spotlight. She is still contacted by church groups who want her to share her inspirational story with their congregation. Otherwise, Watson believes she has used up her “15 minutes of fame.” “It doesn’t really even feel like it happened,” she said. “It was like a dream kind of situation, just the state that I was in being rushed from place to place and finding my picture on different articles and magazines from around the world. It was almost too good to be true.” Invisible superstars Aaron Evans and Torrin Lawrence are two of the fastest people in the world. But on campus, they remain largely anonymous. Evans, a Bermuda native, is known more as “the guy with the accent” than he is for his exploits on the track. “That’s me — ‘the guy with the accent,’” the All-American distance runner said. “I’m not really looking for the credit because I don’t do it for that, but a little bit of recognition is always nice. You do want people to know what you’re doing out here when you put all your effort and time into it and you’re representing Georgia, you would hope that people care about it as much as they do about the other sports.” Lawrence said he has been approached by other students from “time-to-time” on

North Campus to congratulate him on his latest athletic accomplishment, but he’s glad it doesn’t happen too much. The All-American sprinter is not a fan of “all the attention” that other athletes on campus, specifically football players, battle every day. “They have so much scrutiny that when they do something bad, it’s blown way out of proportion sometimes,” he said. “And it’s not like I’m trying to say that I’m going out there and doing stuff against the law or anything like that, but if I have an infraction, it’s less noticed because less people know who I am.” Evans is also pleased he does not have to deal with people always keeping tabs on what he does away from the track. “Would I want that? No. Not at all,” he said. “Like the fake Twitters for Isaiah Crowell and stuff like that. I wouldn’t like someone being the fake Aaron Evans and tweeting stuff and mocking my life, basically.” That’s why Evans is sympathetic. “They do have to stay on their toes and watch everything they do because they’re in the public eye,” he said. “[Football] is what Georgia is known for, so they’re under more scrutiny for every little thing they do.” Lawrence took a much harder line. Yes, track and football are different. But they are all student-athletes — period. “They knew what they were getting into the same way I knew what I was getting into,” Lawrence said. “I was prepared when I came to college. My mom told me, ‘Athletes get way more attention than everybody else, so you have to make sure you’re on top of your game at all times.’ And the football players, they know that they get more scrutiny than everybody, they know that they get more attention than everybody else. So if I was in their position, I would try my best to stay out of certain situations.”

MUSIC NOTES Downtown details for sounds to see Weekend plans? Whatever. Here’s the music to see and hear this week. Athens Americana facebook.com/ events/332811660114621/ The Athens Americana Festival has gotten underway and will continue on through Sunday evening: the festival brings in roots music across all spectrums — bringing in fans of country, folk and bluegrass. In the midst of its fifth year, the festival kicked off at the Georgia Theatre with Johnny Corndog and Bloodkin headlining. For Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Athens Americana will occur at Little Kings. The shows will include country songstress Ruby Kendrick and blues veterans the Georgia Healers on Thursday. Friday will have the Corduroy Road. Saturday features organizer Adam Klien’s band the Wildfires — a mix of international folk and country. Saturday will also feature former Drive-by Truckers bassist Shonna Tucker and Atlanta bluegrass outfit The Whiskey Gentry. Sunday, the festival will close out at Highwire Lounge. Athens Music Collective member Betsy Franck will be performing at the event and closing out the festival is Bobby’s Shorts, a Grateful

Dead tribute band featuring members of Futurebirds. 4/20 meltingpointathens.com Friday, of course, is a special holiday — and good, illegal times will be had by all. The Melting Point is catering to this occasion with the “First Annual 4.20 Smokestack Jam.” Numerous college big-hitters, including JazzChronic, Bear Left, Chromazone and Dank Sinatra, will be performing at the event. Expect heady music going into the jam: music, rock, reggae and progressive music will dominate the night along with electronica beats. Have fun and don’t get busted. Tickets are $5 in advance and at the door will cost $8 — Seven bands performing for $5 is definitely a great deal. Other weekend shows Aside from the Americana Festival and 4/20 festivities, other Athens venues will be providing a good number of shows throughout the weekend. New Earth is hosting a hip-hop night Friday featuring ATL rapper Killer Mike, DJ Dark Don and Shamrock da Don — Athens’ first lady of rap music. Also keeping a hip-hop theme, blending it with more modern rock stylings is Farm 255, which will host free music by Free Tomorrow — who are reminiscent of a slightly folklike Linkin Park — and Kontraband. Saturday at New Earth is Alanfest 2012, which will see Athens reggae stars Dubconcious headlining with Sumilian and funk/soul/hiphop group Cherry Royale. Also on Saturday is Blind by Sight at the 40 Watt, and yours truly will be in attendance at the show. With a mix of alternative rock and metal, the Northeast Georgia group has gained a lot of traction in the Athens area. Headlining a weekend show at 40 Watt is proving just that. But the big show for Saturday night will be Futurebirds, Don Chambers+GOAT and New Madrid at the Georgia Theatre. Futurebirds is a band that does not need an introduction, as it has garnered much attention in the Athens scene. New Madrid, from both Athens and Nashville, Tenn., provides a strong opener through its similar Americana style of music.

Local theater group Town & Gown is producing ‘Amadeus,’ about the life and genius of composer Wolfgang Mozart, for the spring.

Genius battles jealousy in musical Mozart drama Local troupe masters challenges of conflict: in performance and theme
When: April 19 - 21 at 8 p.m., April 22 at 2 p.m. Where: Town & Gown Theatre Price: $12-15
BY SYDNEY KIDA The Red & Black “Amadeus” captures the paradox of a genius — Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, to be exact. But the paradox extends beyond him, too. Antonio Salieri, another musical mastermind and Mozart’s nemesis in the play, embodies everything that Mozart is not. He is old. He is couth. He is jealous. And he knows that despite his success, Mozart is the better artist. “Antonio Salieri is the court composer for Emperor Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire,” said Terrell Austin, director of the play. “And he’s a very successful composer in 1781, when this young protégé comes to Vienna from Salzburg and makes a big splash at court. And Salieri remains more successful than Mozart during the rest of Mozart’s life. However, he recognized that — although he was famous for his time — that it would be Mozart who would ultimately be recognized.” Conflict ensues when Salieri realizes his musical achievement won’t resonate with future generations the way this infantile archrival’s will. But while Mozart’s compositions soared, his social skills floundered. “There’s this really incredible dichotomy in the character,” said Patrick Najjar, who plays Mozart in the play. “Underneath you can see that he’s this genius who knows how brilliant he is, but on the surface he’s just this crude, childlike character.” Najjar must convincingly portray tremendous musical understanding in an otherwise uncultured man each night

that the show runs and he said the emotional roller coaster of the part is taxing. “Mozart is a character that demands these big shifts in the way that he’s played,” Najjar said. “The character goes on such a journey throughout the play, and he’s seen at so many different points in his life — you know, high points and low points — and so it’s really an exhausting experience to take this journey every single night. By the end of the night I’m wiped out.” While none of the other roles are quite as internally conflicting, the part of Salieri is challenging because of his stage time. Allen Rowell, who plays the part, never gets a break in the show. “The No. 1 [challenge] is just the sheer magnitude of the lines,” Rowell said. “From the opening scene until the final curtain, Salieri is on stage every minute.” The story’s success on Broadway and in film poses another challenge for actors. Both stage and screen productions are well-known to those in the know. So if the cast or crew mess up, the audience will know about it. “I was a little nervous going in because obviously this is a work that people are familiar with because of the movie,” Najjar said. “So I go in knowing that on some level I might be compared to the incredible performance in the film.” Still, challenges aside, the cast has enjoyed working together so far. “The best part is definitely the people I’m getting to work with,” he said. “I’ve worked with a large majority of the cast before. Some of my best friends from theater are in the show with me, and being able to spend time with them and to go through the lengthy rehearsal process with them has just been fantastic. Since this is my last show in Athens with Town & Gown, I’m glad that I’m surrounded by some of my friends from theater who’ve shared this experience with me.” Najjar is graduating in May, so the opportunity to perform with his friends is especially rewarding, he said. And there’s also the bonus of a modified musical score for the show. To accompany this standoff between composers, Town & Gown’s production implements a soundtrack to match. “We have Michael Brewer as our sound designer,” Austin said. “He conducts the Classic City Band, and he has put together selections of Mozart’s music that are heard throughout the show. Most people are familiar with Mozart, but he’s also included selections of Salieri’s music, which you never hear. So all of the music that plays before Mozart enters the scene are Salieri’s pieces.” The soundtrack reflects the way Mozart’s legacy creeps up and usurps Salieri’s. Still, Salieri is not lost in the shuffle. Town & Gown was excited to offer a production that acknowledges both musicians’ work, Austin said. “It’s a wonderful script,” Rowell said. “Many plays leave a lot of interpretation open. This one’s no different. But the play’s so complex in its storytelling that I’m just very impressed by it.”

CRITICS’ CORNER This is a series of app games I play frequently and with wild success, so you should all download them so I can beat you.
DRAW SOMETHING Available free from the Apple App Store
'PINA' “Pina” is, I suspect, sublime. Not in the face-melting-swallowed-up-bya-mountain sort of sublimity, you understand. More like butterfly-in-a-hurricane or blind-man-on-a-tight-rope. “Pina” is also a German documentary about modern dance directed by the great Wim Wenders. Although — and I mean this, really really — don’t let that stop you from seeing it. Wenders’ film has almost no lines of spoken dialogue and very little voice-over. It is, in appearance, both review and revue of the work of choreographer Pina Bausch. And yes, OK fine: follow that thread until it unravels and you’ll learn very little about Bausch herself, at least in the way of information or enlightenment. She died days before the film was to begin production and remains a figure in the margins, waiting in the wings. We glimpse her in pre-recorded footage, surveying rehearsals or else modeling moves herself. The tagline to the movie, “a film for Pina Bausch by Wim Wenders,” encompasses its mission in a single line: to share Bausch’s choreographic wizardry with a world beyond the stage. Somewhat surprisingly, the silver screen in no way limits or shrinks her originality. Take the scene in “Café Müller:” a blind woman runs through an empty plaza, surrounded by empty tables and chairs. A man runs ahead, knocking the obstacles from her path before she can trip. Eventually she finds him, embracing him and re-embracing him even as another man breaks them apart, forcing her into his arms and then to the ground. Embrace, arms ground — the movements have a Sisyphean mania. Wenders, who has been planning this film for years, remains, as ever, enamored of these moments of moving. People aren't being led by their heads — they’re led by their arms; their joints. The dancers move in bursts, composing short scenes of drama or sadness or joy as pieces of the mosaic of Pina’s heart. These dance vignettes piece together the sublimity of “Pina” — and each one seems to increase in spectacularity. (They don’t, you realize only later — but you feel drug out by the movie only when it stops to rest.) The intricacy of each movement, and the delicacy with which these movements link to subsequent and previous ones — this is the subtleness of Pina Wenders had been striving for. Ever the iconoclast, fascinated by the fragmentary tidal pull of images, Wenders has shot the documentary in 3D. But “Pina” is not “Alice in Wonderland.” It uses 3-D in the way it should be used: to add another layer to the movie-going experience, to deepen and enrich every frame in a way that presses past the proscenium. The movement’s the thing. That’s where the sublime is waiting. Preserved forever in, the movements do lose some of their beautiful, butterfly-like fleetingness. Even still: they are not memorialized in wake of Bausch's passing, and instead persist in the delicate preciseness of every movement in every dance in every scene. While watching Pina in motion, it’s comforting and, yes, oddly sublime to realize that every snap of the leg and twist of the wrist will not die with the dancer's exit off camera.

I will say this here with no fear of karmic repercussions or imminent dethroning: I am the Queen of Scramble. My all-time high score (against my proud father, King of Scramble, don’t judge) is over 2,200 points. The word game is an app version of Boggle, the popular board game, and because it’s created by the same lovely geniuses who’ve brought us such hits as Words with Friends and Hanging with Friends, Scramble gives you access to Facebook and random players to ensure the word-scrambling fun never ever ever has to end. You form words across a grid, drawing lines to connect scoring words. It’s almost like Scrabble squished into a square. Three levels mean “lint” may score you measly points in Level 1 but could then win the game in Level 3. My favorite thing about Scramble: it gives my once-nerdy, once-mocked vocabulary a showcase. Yeah, I receive dictionary. com Word of the Day emails. And yeah, sometimes I read the thesaurus for fun. And you know what? That’s why I kick ass in Scramble. Correction: That’s why I’m going to kick your ass in Scramble.
When I say I’m good at playing "Stair Dismount," I really mean it’s just emotionally healthy for me. It's not hard to explain why "Stair Dismount" is beneficial for any app downloader and mobile game user. Let me share a recipe for instant stress relief, pulled from the wonderful time-wasting treasure trove that is the Apple App Store: Find a photo of someone you hate. Place it on some virtual dummy’s face. Watch it stumble down a flight of perilous stairs. Right? How can you not download this? Three easy, passive-aggresive steps to emotional progress. This app easily provides some of the best stress relief in the world. I was pissed at my landlord today, so I selected the “Anonymous” face and shoved that stupid dummy down a flight of stairs, letting its head hit at every corner along the way. My inner monologue involved lots of hateful screaming, such as “Fix the power!” “I hate leaky sinks!” “Don’t be rude to me on the phone! And while you're at it, treat me like a normal human being who gives you hundreds of dollars monthly!”
‘NEON CITY’ Radio rules — so it’s rare to turn the dial and not be awash in artificiality and robotics and processing. Increasingly, there’s something to be said for an artist who isn’t afraid of imperfection, even at the expense of true talent and emotion. All that matters is the passion and if there’s no feeling behind the song then why listen at all? Johnny Bertram and The Golden Bicycles’ sophomore album, “Neon City,” highlights that beauty: the beauty of raw talent, passion and the skill of storytelling. As a vocalist, Bertram is a clean, cutting tenor — and a transporting one, so that the listener also feels like a traveler, exploring American with Bertram and the band. The tracks do much the same, moving across the States. They combine the rustic vibe of the Northwest with a Southern richness. A couple stand out: both “River” and “Miracle” are built on catch-catch-catchy beats just in time for the summer season

and would pair well pool-side or in a boat. Just soak up the sun and sing along “oooh oooh“ to the “River.” “Neon City” was recorded between April and May 2011 at the North Midtown Arts Center in Jackson, Miss. All of the songs were recorded live in a large room with hardwood floors that is normally used as a performance space, but it was the perfect fit: the clear, natural sounds of the room delivered crisp, clean tracks. Bertram wrote everything on the album, putting him alongside other singer-songwriters like M. Ward, Ray Lamontagne, and Josh Ritter — especially because, although “Neon City” is a well-rounded collection of acoustic/folk and guitar rocking tracks, there are moodier, deeper shades: “Out of the Darkness” and “Mistake” are shadows to the other nice shiny beats. Finally, the growth of this album showcases Bertram growing closer and growing better with his backing band for three years. The future awaits.

And this is why I won’t graduate college. Because I feel compelled, at odd hours of the day or night, to send drawing after drawing to my Facebook friends via the wonderfully delightful app that is Draw Something. The Pictionary-like game pits friend against friend in an art-guessing competition, similar to Scramble and similarly addictive. If you don’t have any artistic chops, sorry. It’s not like the app makes that easier anyway — the whole thing feels eerily similar to messing around with Paint on that old hulky PC in your uncle’s garage. But don't be deterred by that horrifically traumatic childhood memory. You don’t necessarily have to have the art skills of a Picasso or Rembrandt to be successful. In fact, I would argue Picasso or Rembrandt would suck at Draw Something. Because they would take too much time and be too worried about light and perspective to focus on the important thing: being funny and wasting time. I’m notorious among my Draw Something opponents for frequently skipping the difficult drawing part to just write out. I played earlier today with one friend, sending her a poorly-drawn rose and then just scribbling “[Blank]s are red, violets are blue.” Then I discerned from her doodle of wavy blue lines and a sinking yellow circle that “sunset” would win us the round. And it did. Bam. — Julia Carpenter

Don’t pack your jeans up just yet. Even through the Georgia heat, denim simply transforms. Sanni Baumgaertner, owner of Community Vintage, opts for a lesser, lighter version for spring. “Definitely one of our super best sellers is cut-off shorts,” she said. “We have our own line of clothing that we redesign called ‘Community Service,’ where we take vintage pieces and update and modernize them, and we have a big rack of cut-off shorts right now. There’s acid wash, light wash, pleated and fun colors like purple, orange and pastels. Although cut-offs are the go-to for summer, they too transition from season to season — a perk for college students on a budget. “You can wear them through October and then in the winter with tights,” Baumgaertner said. For Flirt Fashions owner Ashley Becker, spring denim’s popularity lies in the details. “Colored denim is No. 1,” she said. “We have a lot of cut-offs that have embroidery that have been popular and kind of the destroyed look for cutoffs … We’ve sold probably 1,000 pairs of cut-offs in the past month.” While cut-offs are the obvious choice for spring, full-length jeans remain a favorite for cooler nights — so embrace the heat. “Other kind of jeans we have are like vintage highwaisted,” Baumgaertner said, “like Calvin Klein, acid wash and light wash jeans. They’re more tapered, or skinny, than the wide-leg ... That’s the newer trend.”

THE RED & BLACK
Injury leads to improvement for sophomore Kowase says abdomen ailment ‘made me think’ By AJ ARCHER The Red & Black Maho Kowase threw the ball in the air and leapt for it like she would have at any other practice. But this time when she reached, she felt an unsettling tear in her abdomen. “I tore [a muscle in] my abs, and it was pretty bad,” she said. While her body tried to heal, she was barred from tennis — an exclusion that kept her skills from moving forward. “I was trying to get it together, but I couldn’t,” she said. “It was a very hard time for me.” But in that sea of potential negativity, she did not expect her injury could teach her something. “That injury made me think and appreciate that I can play tennis now,” she said. “It makes me bigger.” The injury Kowase, a sophomore from Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan, said she tried to put the injury on the back burner and keep pressing forward with her play. “I knew I pulled it, but it was the final round of the quarterfinals of the All-Americans, and I wanted to play,” she said. “I had tape on it and I took medicine, and I just pushed through it.” But playing through the pain contributed to an even bigger problem: a full-fledged injury that excluded her from play for two months. Tissues and fluids built up in her abdomen, trying to fix what her serve tore. “It got bigger and bigger and bigger,” she said, holding up her small fist for a size comparison. That injury left Kowase unable to practice for two months — a period of time she said was different from any point in her life. “With injuries, I’ve never had one that big, so that was the first time in my life not playing tennis for two months,” she said. In limbo During the two months she took off because of her injury, Kowase could not exercise. She still came to practice to support the team, but was spared the physical exhaustion of practice. So, she stayed up and used her time constructively, using the extra hours in her day to study for accounting and experience a different side of University life that many athletes are not afforded: the nightlife.
Sophomore Maho Kowase tore her abdomen late last year, which kept her from getting on the court and improving parts of her game. Though she used her time off to enjoy herself, her passion for the sport remained the same. C.B. Schmelter/Staff “I went out and had fun with my friends,” she said. “I didn’t go crazy, but I had more time and it was nice to use it.” Although she made the most of the time she spent out of commission, her passion for the sport never left. And neither did her teammates. “Everyone was so trusting of me and they were very supportive, and that’s why I’m still playing,” she said. On the rise Since her return to the court, Kowase has experienced trials and tribulations getting back into her previous routine. “When I was struggling, I couldn’t have fun at all on the court,” she said. “I couldn’t play like I used to play.” Earlier in the season, she fell to Rachel Stuhlmann in a fourth singles match against Missouri. Kowase spent the rest of the match on her bench, contemplating how she had played that day. Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace spoke with Kowase after the match and told The Red & Black “it’s always tough when you’ve had some injuries and missed a little bit of
time,” but “those wins are coming.” And what he said resonated with her — she has made good on his prediction, winning all but two of her 15 matches since that point. As the season progresses, Kowase said her biggest goal is to receive a spot in the NCAA individual tournament. “I wanted to from the beginning of the year,” she said. “All I can do is try to win in the SEC for the team and for myself, too.” Now that she is back on the court with big goals, Kowase said she knows how her time will be spent. “I lost against Alabama, and that was kind of my wakeup call,” she said. “I want to do everything the best, so I tried to study more, but the measurement was hard. We only have a few days left, so I’m going to put tennis forward more.” If she doesn’t get that coveted spot, however, Kowase said her optimism will propel her into an even better year next season. “I’m going to do my best but, if not, that’s OK,” she said. “It’s out of my control.”
Freshman outfielder ‘scary’ at the plate By YOUSEF BAIG The Red & Black It’s hard to turn down a Major League Baseball contract when you’re only 18 years old. But that’s exactly what freshman outfielder Hunter Cole did. Selected by the Washington Nationals in the 49th round, he turned down a salary and decided to come play college baseball in Athens. “It was definitely an honor and a privilege and I’m definitely thankful for that opportunity,” he said, “but I just really wanted to come here and begin my education and work toward my degree. Hopefully in three or four years, [I’ll] get another shot.” Not only did the Moore, S.C. native pass on the pros, but he also turned down an offer to play for the two-time NCAA College World Series champions and home state school, South Carolina. “It was tough saying no to Carolina, but I just felt at home here [in Athens],” Cole said. “I also wanted to get away from home, but not too far and just kind of fell in love with the town. Great coaches, great atmosphere and it’s just where I wanted to be.” This year, the freshman leads the COLE team in home runs and boasts the Diamond Dogs’ longest hitting streak at 14 games. “He’s scary for the other team. He’s a threat,” Georgia head coach David Perno said. “He can hit the ball the other way, he can drive it in the gap, he can hit it out the park, and he can battle you with two strikes.” Cole said he’s just continuing to do the same things that got him here. “[I’ve just got to] stay within myself and do what I’ve been doing my whole life,”
“To do what he's done, gosh, I don't know where we’d be without him.” 24851
David Perno, Diamond Dogs head coach
he said. “Just got to stay relaxed and look for a good pitch to hit early in the count, and if it’s not there, just take what they give me.” It took Cole some time to get adjusted to the college game, but Perno has been impressed with his ability to quickly adapt and build on what he’s learned. “It’s amazing because of the slow start,” Perno said. “Then to regroup and realize that he can play at this level … to do what he’s done, gosh, I don’t know where we’d be without him.” Along with the coaches, Cole has had the opportunity to learn the college game from seasoned veterans. He said he has enjoyed the welcoming environment the team has fostered. “[Kyle] Farmer and Levi [Hyams] have been great from the hitting aspect, really just showing me the ropes,” Cole said. “It’s a great family atmosphere. [We’ve] got some great veterans and they’ve just made me feel really comfortable the whole time I’ve been here.” Another influence would be his older brother, Dylan, who pitched at Furman for two seasons before transferring to Georgia this year. Since Dylan started in the college ranks before him, Hunter sought out some brotherly advice. “He said, ‘Just stick with your guns and everything else will kind of fall into place,’” Hunter said. “I kind of look up to his work ethic because he’s one of the hardest workers I know, so I just kind of follow what he does.” The brothers were teammates in high school and on travel ball clubs. Hunter says they have a “strong relationship,” which will continue when Dylan becomes eligible to play for Georgia next season. Until then, they will continue to talk about both the game of baseball and life — as roommates, teammates and brothers. “Now we’re living together, and we will be for the next few years,” Hunter said. “It’s just good to see him every day and he’s a good person to talk to.” Hunter’s plans for the future are to work toward a professional career in baseball as well as to tackle a degree in biology. And at the end of the day, that’s why he came to Georgia. “[I’m hoping to] just really hone in on my skills and take them to the next level,” he said. “Get a lot stronger, smarter, learn the game even more and also work toward my degree.”

THE RED & BLACK 3C
Eleventh national title on Gym Dogs’ minds Program’s storied history, high expectations ‘not something that we run from’ By ELIZABETH GRIMSLEY The Red & Black This season has been all about consistency for the Georgia gymnastics team. “I think we’ve been a confident team all year long — that’s where the consistency has come from,” head coach Jay Clark said. “I think we’ve done so many things right, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to what you do Friday night and then again on Saturday if you’re fortunate enough to make it that far.” The Gym Dogs will travel to Duluth to compete in the NCAA National Championship this weekend. They have already faced seven of the 12 teams in the field — something that adds even more confidence to the team — but Clark thinks the extra experience won’t necessarily help them. “We’ve seen almost everyone in the field,” he said. “We haven’t seen Oklahoma, Stanford, Nebraska or Ohio State, but I’m telling you there are some good gyms and some good gymnastics going on in the country right now.” Unlike in the past where people usually knew who was going to make the Super Six finals, parity today is such that “all 12 of these teams are certainly legitimate contenders.” “It makes for an exciting event for the spectators,” Clark said. “I think this is probably the tightest field that I can remember in a long time, although my memory is not great. I think I have a coping mechanism that allows me to block certain things out over the last several years, but I think that this field is as tight as I’ve ever seen it.” Clark’s coping mechanism blocked out the past two years where Georgia has struggled in the postseason. But this year there is a different “feel to the team,” one that has the opportunity to “get on a roll, then capture some magic and make a little noise.” “We feel a lot more confident having such a consistent year all season,” sophomore Kaylan Earls said. “You can go out there and give it your all because you know how consistent you’ve been.” In order to build up the momentum, the Gym Dogs think that “getting off to a good start” will be the most important thing to this weekend’s success. “First up on bars will be important for us to get off to a good start,” Clark said. “The middle part of our lineup — in the two and three whole — being able to execute well will help propel the back three, who have been doing a good job all year long. We’re not a team that really has one that jumps off the page. We’re that consistent team that ... just is really good on every event.” Starting on bars has been something the Gym Dogs have already done six times so far this season, and it is where they start their competition on Friday. “It’s helpful that we’ve started on bars before, but we’ve done well in any situation,” Earls said. “There aren’t really any advantages or disadvantages to starting on bars. We have to do all four events, so we just have to bring the momentum and keep it going.” “I think everyone has an equal opportunity no matter where they start,” senior Kat Ding said. “It’s just how they use it that matters.” Because all of the teams are so evenly matched, Clark said the key to anyone’s success will all come down to execution. “It doesn’t make any difference at this point what you do from a skill standpoint,” Clark said. “It has everything to do with the way you execute the skills that you’re doing. Everybody has made it to this point as a top 12 team in the country within those parameters.” And what will Georgia have to do to leave Duluth satisfied? “We have to win,” Ding said. “It’s just plain and simple.” That may be the obvious answer — to bring home the ring, but the Gym Dogs would be fine with other outcomes as well. “We want to win, there’s no question about that,” Clark
Sarah Persinger (above) and the Georgia gymnastics team head to Duluth this weekend in search of the program’s 11th national title. Gym Dogs head coach Jay Clark said that this year’s field is the ’tightest’ in recent memory. KRISTY L. DENSMORE/Staff said. “But I think for us to feel good when it’s all said and done — short of a win — [is] knowing that we competed to the best of our ability, competed to the way we train, competed with the mind-set and the identity that we said we were going to be … And if we do those things and someone else is better than us on a given day, then I think we’ll be OK with it.” Clark also acknowledged the pressure to be in the running for the national title every year, especially at a school that has won an NCAA-record 10 times in its history. “Every year it’s our intention to compete for and win championships,” Clark said. “That’s something that’s written
‘Semi-retired’ horses given second chance at Georgia By KERRY BOYLES The Red & Black Unlike other retirees, horses don’t move to Florida when they can no longer compete at a high level. They come to Georgia. “[Georgia] is just a great second-chance place for horses,” senior Michelle Morris said. “The horse show circuit outside of college is very competitive, and horses at the top level are incredible athletes, but they get worked really, really hard.” Competitive horses can often suffer from injuries or develop navicular, a kind of lameness that results from the deterioration of a bone in the horses’ feet. And when horses can no longer work at a high level, they join the Georgia equestrian program to continue their career in a more relaxed atmosphere. “Many times it’s horses that have had tremendous careers that are taking a step down as far as height that they have to jump, or difficulty in what they are expected to do in their performance,” assistant coach Lisa Anderson said. “So I would call it a ‘semi-retirement.’ We don’t work the horses as hard. We have 109 acres for them to live outside grazing in pastures.” The lameness that makes these horses unsuitable for the more competitive show circuit is not an issue at Georgia. “People don’t want to spend money if the horse isn’t going to be as good as it was,” Morris said. “We have horses here that have a little kink here and there, but we work with them ... Because of their personalities, they want to work still. They don’t know, ‘Now I’m old. Now I have to be done.’” Not all of the horses are semi-retired show horses. Some are donated by individuals who no longer have the time or money to maintain them. “Maybe the horse isn’t fancy enough to be a super competitive horse,” she said. “Or maybe the horse is a little difficult.” Not only can the horses be difficult, they can be downright dangerous at times.
“We have horses that have behavioral problems that are mild enough that we want to deal with them,” Anderson said. “For example, we have a horse that can be a little rowdy. He can buck a little bit. We have two horses like that who will buck you off.” Behavior problems aside, the collection of horses at Georgia has been appraised at over $2 million and is considered one of the best in the country. But to the National Collegiate Equestrian Association, a horse is just another piece of equipment, even if it doesn’t always act like one. “They’re animals and they are unpredictable,” Morris said. “You don’t know if they’re going to be a bit wild or if they’re going to be a little dull, so you definitely have to go on your gut feeling and work with what you have. A football is not going to rear up on you, so it’s definitely one of the toughest parts [of equestrian].” The rider and horse have to work together, junior Becca Haaland said. “We can train and ride all we want, but if the 1,000 pound animal decides he’s not going to do it, there’s not a lot we can do,” she said. Horses also require more upkeep than other kinds of sports “equipment.” “There’s a lot more that goes into [equestrian] because we have to maintain them,” Morris said. “We’ve got to come out here and brush them and tack them and sometimes we have to clean their stalls and all that. It’s definitely a lot of work, but at the same time that’s what makes this sport so unique.” The Georgia equestrian program uses more than 50 horses with names like Waffle, Chai, Dixie and Posh. And each has a personality to match, Boenig said. “We absolutely have everything from a prissy horse that never has a speck of dirt on him and raises his nose to anything but the very best of carrots and grain,” she said, “to the other one that you would [see and] swear that gray horse is supposed be a brown horse.”

on our white boards ... That’s not something that we run from. It’s also something that we know does not happen every year and it doesn’t for everyone, but I think that’s the goal for all the teams here. I don’t think anybody is here just to be satisfied with being an also-ran.” At the end of the day Clark said he and his team do not want to have any regrets. “You can see that in our philosophy that we put on the board every year — that’s the main thing,” Clark said. “You want to say what you did is representative of what your whole year has been, and if we do that, we’re going to be satisfied.”

Former Bulldog legend Charley Trippi was honored by the UGA Athletic Association last Friday on what was officially declared “Charley Trippi Day.” Trippi was honored at a luncheon at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education on campus in Athens. Over 300 people were in attendance, including Gov. Nathan Deal, Athens Mayor Nancy Denson, House Speaker David Ralston, former football coach Vince Dooley and head coach Mark Richt. Trippi led the Bulldogs to an 11-0 record, an SEC Championship and a Sugar Bowl victory over North Carolina in 1946. That year he also led the SEC in scoring and won the Maxwell Award to the nation’s most valuable player while finishing as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. After graduating from Georgia, Trippi joined the NFL’s Chicago Cardinals and led the team to a championship in his first season. He has since been inducted to both the Collegiate and Pro Football Hall of Fames.
Dan Magill to be honored by ITA in May A special tribute will be paid to former Georgia men’s tennis coach and administrator Dan Magill during the NCAA Division I Tennis Championships in Athens this May. The notice comes after the Intercollegiate Tennis Association announced their inductees to their Hall of Fame, who will also be honored during the Championships on May 23. Magill founded the ITA Men’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame 28 years ago and has since served as the curator and chairman of the ITA Hall of Fame Committee. MAGILL Among those being inducted are USTA President Jon Vegosen, former Stanford players Paul Du Pré and David Wheaton, and coaches Chuck Kriese, Paul Scarpa and Ron Smarr. Georgia will play host to the NCAA Tennis Championships for a record 30th time in 2012.
WOMEN'S SPORTS Soccer team caps off spring season
Equestrian team captures reserve national title
Georgia soccer concluded its spring season last Saturday in its annual alumni game, which saw the Bulldogs take down the graduates 7-1. “The participation in this weekend gets bigger every year,” volunteer coach Jonathan Harvey said. The only goal for the alumni came from Bailey Powell, who graduated just last May. Madeline Barker and Chika Ibiam both netted two goals apiece for the Bulldogs. Georgia would get to six goals before the Alumni scored in the second half. “It was really good to be back,” said Joni BARKER Vickers, who coached the alumni. “This is my second time coming back for this, and it was great to see everyone and get us all back.”
The Georgia equestrian team finished its season Sunday en route to their second National Collegiate Equestrian Association Reserve Championship. The hunt seat took down Auburn, 6-2, and the western squad defeated South Carolina, 6-3, which led the two to finish third. The Bulldogs swept the Tigers in equitation on the flat, with Kylee Arbuckle, Carly Anthony, Michelle Morris and Grace Rogers each posting winning rides. In the western ring, Becca Haaland and Samantha Belcher started things off, taking wins over their opponents in reining and giving Georgia an early 2-0 lead. The Gamecocks grabbed the next two points to tie the score at two, heading into horsemanship. Future SEC opponent Texas A&M took home the overall title as well as the western crown. Baylor was crowned the hunt seat champion, taking home its first-ever national championship in the sport of equestrian.
OTHER NEWS Men’s tennis prepares for SEC Championships
Bulldogs continue to pile on recruits
Georgia men’s tennis freshman Nathan Pasha won SEC freshman of the week honors on Monday, according to a release issued by the league office. It is the second consecutive week Pasha won the award and the fourth time this season. He is riding a Georgia-best nine-match winning streak in singles with an 18-1 dual match record and a 9-1 mark in conference play. In the regular-season finale Saturday against Tennessee, Pasha posted two more wins to help the Bulldogs reach the 7-0 shutout of their conference rival. One of those was a straight set win over Taylor Patrick at six singles and the other was an 8-2 victory with Sadio Doumbia at No. 2 doubles, which at that point evened things at 1-1 before Georgia eventually went on to claim the doubles point. Pasha and the Bulldogs head to the SEC Championships this weekend and will have a bye before taking on the winner of Auburn-South Carolina in the quarterfinals.
G-Day proved once again to be beneficial to the Georgia football team after receiving two verbal commitments following the game this past weekend. Reggie Wilkerson, a class of 2013 cornerback from Citra, Fla., had been leaning toward the Bulldogs since receiving an offer in early March, and after visiting Athens, he committed. He is considered by many to be one of the top cornerback prospects in the Southeast and will be a huge help to Georgia’s scant depth in the secondary. But perhaps the biggest commitment WILKERSON was 2014 elite wide receiver Demarre Kitt, a 6-foot, 190-pound athlete who is the early favorite to be named the top wide receiver in the Peach State next year. He chose Georgia over seven other SEC schools.

THE RED & BLACK 5C
Bulldogs’ spring questions linger into fall I
f anyone expected the Georgia football team’s annual spring game to answer any of the Bulldogs’ questions ahead of the 2012 season, then they were sorely disappointed last Saturday. While several players impressed, the Bulldogs are still preparing for fall camp with several suspensions that threaten to tear apart the starting defensive unit as well as issues surrounding both the offensive line and special teams. While three of the four suspensions have yet to be officially announced, Georgia could be without linebacker Alec Ogletree, safety Bacarri Rambo and cornerback Branden Smith, along with the confirmed suspension of corner Sander Commings. Who will replace these four should the worst scenario play out in this fall? Saturday’s G-Day game saw linebacker Ramik Wilson record a game-high seven total tackles, with Kosta Vavlas and Amarlo Herrera recording six each. This seems to plug the hole that Ogletree could leave if his potential suspension becomes a reality. The problem, however, starts with the defensive backs. There was excitement among Georgia fans, coaches and players at the possibility of seeing converted receiver Malcolm Mitchell in his first outing as cornerback last Saturday. A hamstring injury, however, denied the rising sophomore his opportunity to debut at his new position in the G-Day game and left the Bulldogs with more questions than answers. It appears that Mitchell will continue to work on the defensive side of the ball going into the fall, as he is penciled in as the potential replacement for Commings. While Smith takes away from the depth in the

defensive backfield, his absence is even more notable on special teams. Georgia head coach Mark Richt admitted after the game that the team will probably do more special teams drills this fall than at any other point in his ten-
Conference returning for his junior season — Aaron Murray. Add exciting freshman running back Keith Marshall to the sophomore duo of Isaiah Crowell and Ken Malcome, and Georgia owns a running back rotation that they all believe will be amongst the best in the country. But will the Bulldogs really be as good as they think on the offensive side of the ball? Everything depends on
the ability of Richt, Will Friend and Mike Bobo to find the right combination of offensive linemen. All spring there has been a great amount of scrutiny on the players stepping into the positions vacated by Ben Jones, Cordy Glenn and Justin Anderson. Without the solid offensive line play of last season, Georgia could struggle to establish itself offensively despite the quality of its skill players.

These drills include working in a new kicker, punter and returner with senior snapper Ty Frix the only starting regular still at Georgia. The Bulldogs had issues with the special teams early last season and the head coach seems determined to avoid similar problems early in 2012. Offensively, the Bulldogs should be set for a very successful year with one of the top quarterbacks in the Southeastern
It will take some months for the questions left after G-Day to be answered — only competitive action can do that. Georgia knows the areas where it needs to improve if it wants to reach its lofty goals next season. But only time will tell if the Bulldogs can do just that. — Matthew Pearce is a graduate student in journalism from Manchester, England

Morgann Leleux set a school record in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 14 feet, 4 inches.
A look back The men’s track and field team didn’t have to travel anywhere last week, as it stayed in Athens and hosted a trio of meets — the Bulldog Hepthathlon, the Bulldog Decathlon and the Spec Towns National Team Invitational. Garrett Scantling finished third in the decathlon after scoring 7,410 points, which was fifthbest in school history. Elsewhere on Friday, senior Aaron LaGarde had the top finish among collegians in the triple jump while sophomore Justin Welch did the same in the hammer throw. On Saturday, sophomore Caleb Whitener had a career-best showing in the shot put and moved into fourth place in the Bulldogs’ record books after his fifth throw measured in at 61 feet, 11 3/4 inches.
A look back The Lady Bulldogs hosted the Bulldog Hepthathlon, the Bulldog Decathlon and the Spec Towns National Team Invitational last week in Athens and made the most of being at home.

The women's tennis team played its final match of the regular season on Saturday, and they won without ever taking the court. Tennessee did not have enough healthy players to field a lineup, so the No. 8 Bulldogs beat the Lady Vols by default.
The Bulldogs ended their regular season on an emphatic note, traveling to Knoxville, Tenn. and sweeping the Tennessee Volunteers 7-0. Georgia tallied a 10-1 record in the Southeastern Conference in 2012.

THE RED & BLACK 7C
Four seniors, four flavors Bulldogs’ quartet of seniors own distinct personalities, forged friendships for life By NICHOLAS FOURIEZOS The Red & Black Sadio Doumbia is laying flat on the tennis court, breathing heavily and complaining while the rest of his teammates are stretching. “Get up. That’s not good for your heart,” Georgia head coach Manuel Diaz teases the Frenchman. “All you do is lay down and eat croissants and Pâté.” Ignacio Taboada is taking the rubber stretch cord and hanging it off the top of his head — it’s not the way the workout is meant to be done. Meanwhile, Will Reynolds is riding the exercise bike and shouting out orders, with all the authority of a mock coach. And Wil Spencer can’t help but laugh at it all. “Passionate,” Spencer said of this year’s senior class. “Really dedicated — very dedicated to the team and to being good examples. Trying to be good examples. Effort.” It’s just one more practice on just another day in the life of a collegiate tennis player. But days like this will end soon — and it has come faster than they could ever have imagined. “It’s so weird for me because I haven’t been thinking about this or been ready for this at all, for my college career to finish,” Taboada said. “We were talking about it — what our biggest memory was — and every time we’re hanging out, there is a funny moment or a funny joke said.” The Tireless Worker Having just achieved the 100-win benchmark for his collegiate career against Tennessee on April 14, Spencer has no regrets. “I’m glad I get to join the club of all the other great Georgia guys that have done it,” Spencer said. “It’s cool, but it’s not like ‘Oh, good job.’ There are still matches to play.” The player best known for his unbelievable work ethic and commitment said that others deserved credit for his success. “It’s not for me but for giving God the glory,” Spencer said. “My dad did a great job showing what hard work is. I think my parents have had a huge emphasis on hard work.” It wasn’t easy. There were long days and plenty of troughs to go with the peaks. There were mistakes made and dreams deferred. Spencer admitted that preparing for success wasn’t always enjoyable. “It’s so important — the hard work,” he said. “It’s not very fun sometimes, but it’s necessary. Not always just about ‘giggly’ — it has to be serious. I guess the results after make it fun, because it’s fun to win.” And while playing at court one for the Bulldogs, Spencer had his share of success — including 100 personal wins and counting. “I love the game,” Spencer said. “That’s really important to do something that you love. And yeah, it’s unbelievably fast. You blink and it seems like, ‘Man, you’re here.’ I’m really done with my last regular season match. I think after is when you have time to put on the brakes, but now [matches are] still coming, you’re still moving forward.” The Businessman Play tennis. Make money. Everything else was just noise for Doumbia. “I love tennis and I kind of want to make money, so it’s basically the best job ever,” Doumbia said. “If you have a goal after college to play professional tennis, you don’t waste time going out and you put all your focus on tennis and getting ready for the pro tour.” The path to the pinnacle of professional tennis — the ATP Tour — is an arduous one, but a path Doumbia looks

Seniors Will Reynolds, Ignacio Taboada, Wil Spencer and Sadio Doumbia (pictured with student manager Matt Jackson in black) have formed life-long bonds during their Bulldog careers that won’t end when they leave Athens. c.B. Schmelter/Staff forward to taking along with Spencer. “We’re going to start during the summer and then right after Oxford, in December, we’re going to play Futures [tournaments] in Europe,” he said, “and after that come back here and play Challengers [tournaments] if we can, and after a year try to start up with the ATP Tour.” But despite his lofty ambitions, Doumbia enjoys the simple things in life — a glass of wine and watching French television shows. “Red wine, because I’m from Toulouse, and we have pretty good wine,” Doumbia said. “I watch a French show — ‘Prouve la Vie’ — it’s pretty much a family in the south of France and has all of these French jokes.” On the court he stays emotionally-invested, grunting after every hit and letting out his signature shout after big points. “In France, the style is different,” Doumbia said. “[Players] just want to have pretty strokes and look good on the court. They maybe don’t care as much about winning.” The game is a work of art for Doumbia and he is dedicated to making great art for as long as he can. “Until I’m 40 I want to play tennis and make money doing it,” Doumbia said. “I think I have a pretty game — I hope so at least.” The Consummate Teammate There is no way to adequately describe Taboada, but his teammates choose to just use his nickname — “Nacho.” Wild and passionate on the court, “Nacho” enjoys making his teammates better by his example and energy. “Yelling a lot, going kind of crazy on the court and trying to bring enthusiasm to the matches,” Taboada said. “Try to do things right on and off the court and be an ultimate team member. That’s what I want to be remembered by.” But when it comes to himself, he focuses on his education and his friendships. “I work hard in school to try and leave a future for me to do well in business — real estate is what I’m majoring in,” Taboada said. “I feel like I can shoot a text to my teammates later in life and know ... that I can count on them being there for me.” Taboada and his brother are first-generation Americans and were raised in Atlanta, but his family is from Spain.

The Intellectual Reynolds might be the strangest of all the seniors. He is a redshirt sophomore in terms of eligibility but completed his course load early and will graduate in May. So when he decided that he would forgo two years of tennis eligibility to focus on getting a master's degree in social studies education, Reynolds realized that his life had gone off-script. “Life is going in a different path,” Reynolds said. “Tennis hasn’t worked out the way I wanted it to, but life has worked out a lot differently and it has worked out for the better, so I’m very thankful for that.” One realized dream will be marrying his college sweetheart, Ashley Hines, in June. Hines was a Georgia cheerleader for four years and the two met while working together in Team United, a Christian ministry, in 2010. “We got engaged last summer, so we dated for eight and a half months and we just knew,” Reynolds said. “I didn’t want to waste any time.” Of course, his fellow seniors gave him a good-natured ribbing over the upcoming nuptials. In fact, they talk about it daily. "I think it's funny because she's older than him — She's 24 and he's 21," Spencer said. "But I'm happy for him." The Future Georgia’s seniors will keep in touch — Taboada is certain of that. “It was interesting,” he said. “We definitely had four completely different personalities. So four different guys, but some of the best friends I’ve had and I’ll be friends with them for the rest of my life.”

“I have the American lifestyle, but the Spanish heart,” Taboada said. That heart led him to put his teammates first throughout his career, focusing more on his team’s success rather than personal achievements. “I don’t really like to talk about myself,” Taboada said. “When I go on the court, I just focus on winning and getting off the court quickly so that I can pump the team up. I like to take the pressure off of my teammates and get behind them.”

Conspirator’s show blends several elements, including an electronic background and the work of its six musicians. Courtesy Conspirator
CONSPIRATOR Conspirator is half human, half machine. This six-person group has the makings of a typical jam band — but for live shows, the stage sets up interplay between the live musicians and their electronic backdrop. “We call it ‘live electronica,’’ said guitarist Chris Michetti. “We compose it all on a computer and then we bring the computer on stage and we pull out all of the parts that we don’t need. So we’re basically like a DJ, and then we play over top of it. We take the DJ experience … and we make it live.” Conspirator is playing at the Georgia Theatre in celebration of its latest album, “Unlocked — Live from the Georgia Theatre.” Where better to play than the site of the album’s inception? “We’re pretty proud of the album,” said keyboardist Aron Magner. “It’s Conspirator’s first release in a while, and it’s a release of what we do in a live performance.” It’s hard to believe that this transformer of a band — with an

electronic heartbeat and faststrumming human fingers — was ever a side-project. But the band members view it as more now. “We started as a side-project,” Michetti said. “Literally, a Disco Biscuit side-project. And now it’s more of our own band. It’s not trying to replace anything. We think the refreshing part about being a Conspirator is that you’re not 18 and there’s no room for a prima donna-type person. It’s just for the love of the game.”

‘AN EVENING OF SEC COMEDY’ Karen Morgan is coming home. Morgan was born and raised in Athens and graduated from the University in 1986. After getting her law degree at Georgia State University, marrying a Yankee, moving up to Maine and having a family with three kids, Morgan discovered comedy. “I started taking comedy classes once a week to get out of the house,” she said. “It became a survival mode of, ‘I better laugh at this.’” Her comedy was soon discovered by Nick @ Nite’s "The Search for the Funniest Mom in America” in 2005, and she made it to the top seven finalists. This kicked off her career full-time, and she has been performing stand-up ever since.
Comedian and alum Karen Morgan was named one of America’s funniest moms in 2005. Comedy, she said, should be smart — and doesn’t necessarily have to be dirty. Courtesy Karen Morgan Inspired by “Saturday Night Live” comedians like Steve Martin as well as Kathleen Madigan and Ellen Degeneres, Morgan’s comedy is a few definite things. “Comedy doesn’t have to be dirty,” she said. “It should be smart. Comedians need to be good writers.” The majority of Morgan’s comedy is about her kids, parenting and being a Southerner living in Maine. She has mostly been performing around the areas of New England and in California. This will be the first time performing in her home town. It will be interesting to see

what her old friends think of her career, Morgan said, since she “was not funny in high school at all.” The comedy show will also include Vic Henley, a blue collar comedian and Auburn fan, and will be hosted by TJ Young, an improvisation and sketch comedian. Henley has performed at over 500 college campuses and has received eight “Comedian of the Year” nominations. Between them, the night is wide open. “Comedy,” Morgan said, “is a universal good for everybody.”

If several things break down on you, understand that this is a trend and take action. Keep your fancy phone in its case, buy a box of tissues for your emotionally unstable friend and make sure a plunger is readily available…
Someone from your past will come back into your life. Keep your fingers crossed that it’s your crush from high school and not the annoying kid who followed you around the playground.
Listen to your intuition this week. That’s right — it’s finally time to buy something from the LaFonda Dawgs food cart on North Campus.

Your stress could make you sick this month. Embrace the power nap and keep an open nasal passage.
The planets have left you feeling introverted lately. Fight that urge or risk being the party foul at your own birthday party.
Gossip is not your friend this week. Haven’t you seen “Mean Girls”? It’s time you be more careful about whom you tell your secrets.

This is your week for miscommunication. Consider learning sign language, because your mouth will soon be well acquainted with your foot…
This week is all about karma for you. Toss a quarter to a homeless person and watch as your day improves.
Go people watching downtown this week and find that you’re not as crazy as you were beginning to think.
