April 2, 2015 Edition of The Red & Black

The 194-second video features about 200 individual video segments, dozens of Athens residents, an abun-dance of flames, smoke and fireworks, kegs of beer, ounc-es of marijuana, three lampshades on fire, one cat thrown from a balcony, one needle pushed through a face, one mousetrap snapped onto a tongue and yet, ironically, only one mouse throughout the Modest Mouse video.

Well, one fake mouse. The rest were real: a sextet by the name of Modest Mouse.

The video was directed by Jorge Torres-Torres, an Athenian in the early 2000s until he moved to New York to pursue a profession in film making. Isaac Brock, lead singer for Modest Mouse, saw the trailer for Torres-Tor-res’ film “Shadow Zombie” and immediately called him, asking him to shoot the music video for the band’s lead single, “Lampshades on Fire,” from its first album in eight years, “Strangers to Ourselves.”

“They thought the trailer was really intriguing and had a very unique energy,” Torres-Torres said. “They real-ly loved the trailer, so I think that’s what the video ended up being, was a trailer for what looks to be some sort of film that doesn’t exist.”

Torres-Torres decided to film the video in the Clas-sic City because he knew many iconic Athens individuals from a documentary he is filming about the Athens mu-sic scene.

Of those individuals, nearly all, and more, were in-cluded in the music video: Mux Blank, a sideshow and street performer as TV Head Guy, Sienna Chandler from Monsoon, Parks Miller and Josh Evans from Muuy Biien, Kenny Aguar from 8-Track Gorilla, Thomas Bauer from Sad Dads and more.

The video’s rapid pace and seemingly random or-der redefines the concept of “15 seconds of fame” for

the plethora of Athens locals in the video. Each person seemed to receive milliseconds of fame — or none, if you don’t look close enough.

Chandler, the lead singer for Monsoon, was in three segments of the video: shotgunning smoke with anoth-er girl, spilling beer on someone’s face and screaming while fireworks explode in the background — an act that caused her to lose her voice, she said.

Torres-Torres called her while she was shopping in Kroger.

“He mentioned, ‘This is for the Modest Mouse music video,’ and I instantly fell down,” Chandler said. “After, I hyperventilated a little bit, I said, ‘Sure, that sounds great.’”

Chandler wasn’t the only local who was flabbergast-ed when presented with the opportunity to play for the nationally-recognized Modest Mouse. Blank has been a fan since he was a teenager.

“Getting to see Modest Mouse sit there and play that song over and over and over again for us, that was awesome,” Blank said. “I think it was a couple of days later, there was a [Modest Mouse] show here in town and I didn’t have tickets, but I didn’t really care because I had just seen them in somebody’s living room.”

Blank was one of the more pronounced characters in the video. He can be seen as his sideshow ego, Mr. Blank, screaming while one individual slaps another with a frozen fish, piercing needles through his face and put-ting his tongue on a mousetrap — a scene that had to be shot six times to get the final take.

The entire video was spontaneous, Torres-Torres said. Performers in the video said they didn’t know what their part was until they arrived on set. One of the only actors who knew his part was Parks Miller, bass player for Muuy Biien.

The 2015 elections attracted the second-lowest number of voters since 2000, with about 8 per-cent of students participating. TimoTHY DeWiTT/Staff

Faced with voting for Johnelle Simpson, Houston Gaines and Darby Miller of Momen-tum UGA are abstaining as their only options, data provided by SGA Attorney General Will Walker and graduate assistant Sara Busby revealed that the 2015 elections attracted 2,265 voters — about the same number of voters as in 2014.

While the 2015 election marks the sec-ond-lowest total number of votes received since 2000, low turnout in stu-dent voting has histori-cally been an issue. The 2014 election received 2,299 voters, and the last election with an unop-posed executive ticket attracted 1,438 voters.

Though one of Mo-mentum UGA’s platform points was increasing student response and interest in student gov-ernment, 208 students opened the ballot but chose to abstain rather than elect the only party running.

“A lot of people probably chose to ab-stain rather than vote

for someone they don’t know,” Simpson said. “Out of the 200 that ab-stained, I think a very small portion were truly choosing to abstain out of disagreeing with Mo-mentum.”

Still, Simpson was vocal in the weeks lead-ing up to the election where his team was pushing for 5,000 votes.

“We thought we would have competition, and in order to motivate the people who worked on our campaign, I charged them to get 5,000 votes,” Simpson said. “It wasn’t that I thought 5,000 was a real-istic number, but it gave the team something to fight for. I was impressed with the numbers we re-ceived, and I’m proud of the campaign.”

SGA election results see decline in voter turnout

From a senior University of Georgia student’s murder to a fraternity president’s arrest this semester, students and their Sec-ond Amendment rights prompt further discussion.

House Bill 544 in the Georgia General Assembly would have allowed license holders to carry weapons on any property or in any building owned by any public or private university or college, but it died in session.

It is unlawful for a person to carry any weapon within a school safety zone or building, school function or school property, ac-cording to Georgia law.

This includes residence halls, fraternity and sorority houses on campus and UGA owned vehi-cles, according to the UGA police website.

The law does, however, pro-vide exceptions for weapons stored in private vehicles on campus.

A licensed student or faculty member can have a gun in their car parked on campus but can-not remove the firearm from the vehicle — doing so could result in criminal charges under the law, according to UGA police.

With the passage of 2014’s “Guns Everywhere” bill, informa-tion about who can carry where is still debated and often unclear for the University community.

Personal safety concerns

A study conducted by The Red & Black found that out of 130 student and faculty members surveyed in the N08 parking lot, East Campus Parking Deck and Tate Student Center Parking Deck, only six people said they

had a gun in their vehicle. This number falls in line with

the national average of people who hold concealed carry per-mits which, according to a July 2014 report from the Crime Pre-vention Research Center, rep-resents 4.8 percent of the total population.

Jason Stubbs, state director of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, argues that because license holders are allowed to carry guns in the surrounding Athens area, the same privilege should be extended to the Uni-versity campus.

“Say I am walking my dog in downtown Athens, where I’m perfectly legal,” he said, “but I have to run across the street to campus to retrieve my dog, some-one sees my gun, and I’m subject to arrest.”

Stubbs said the ability to carry a firearm provides some students a sense of extra secu-rity, especially at night, citing situations where students and faculty may feel threatened when approached or possibly attacked while walking to their cars.

Essence Franklin, a mem-ber of the executive board for Young Democrats at UGA, agreed that extra steps need to be taken to increase campus security but said allowing stu-dents and faculty to carry guns is neither a safe nor an effective means of doing so.

“Personally, I don’t feel un-safe at UGA, but I know I defi-nitely would with campus car-ry,” Franklin said, “So I think the University is doing a pretty good job at making sure our cops are visible. I see them all the time, and in the same place. You become familiar with them, they become familiar with you, and I think they’ve done a really good job with that.”

Franklin said she thought Athens-Clarke County could be safer, especially regarding peo-ple going downtown and walk-ing home.

“But at the same time, do you really want people bringing a gun with them downtown be-cause it makes them feel safe?” Franklin said. “I don’t think that’s the answer.”

Alex Rowell, another mem-ber of the executive board for Young Democrats at UGA, agreed that guns on campus won’t fix the safety issue.

“I know there have been talks about putting additional lighting on campus, and SGA is doing a pilot about safe travel at night. I don’t think campus carry is a cure-all to all safety problems on campus. I actual-ly think they increase [safety issues],” said Rowell, a senior from Valdosta majoring in inter-national affairs and economics.

Stubbs also argued that, with regard to carrying providing an ex-tra sense of personal security, gun owners are not going to “go out and be a hero.”

“The moment an incident breaks out, I’ll be using my gun to protect myself as I get out of the area as fast as I can,” he said.

However, discrepancies be-tween studies can neither confirm nor deny that gun carriers are un-likely to get involved in stopping crime.

Conduit for crime?

One proposed argument to al-low guns on campus is that an in-crease in personal security reduces crime rates.

But Rowell said there is little to no correlation for this claim.

“Studies at Utah and Colora-do, where they allow campus carry, show that it does not reduce violent crimes,” Rowell said.

A recent study conducted by the Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus found on college campuses where concealed carry is permitted, the crime rates actually increased while the student population de-creased.

Stubbs, however, still said that allowing guns on campus would not increase crime rates.

“Speaking for myself and my organization, we are not the kind of people who got a gun license to go out and commit crimes … and crim-inals are going to do what they want regardless of the law,” he said.

Stubbs said denying students and employees the right to carry their guns on campus, and instead forcing them to keep them in their cars, actually makes it easier for criminals to acquire the guns.

“They don’t have to worry about the gun in their face,” he said. “They can go to the parking lot and steal them out of our car while you’re in class.”

And this brings up yet another concern: what happens when guns are stolen or used inappropriately?

Franklin said her biggest con-cern was that this could lead to a person trying to put a Band Aid on

a much larger issue.Franklin argued that the stress

of college and possible mental health issues do not blend well with allowing firearms on campus.

“Say you’re in a stressful lecture class. You have your gun in your backpack because you can, and you get your test grade back and realize that you’re failing,” Franklin said. “For some people, they can just go home, not really deal with it or pos-sibly seek help. But for others, there might be mental health issues, and they might just snap right there, and their gun is in their backpack.”

Points of contention

In seven of the 12 most me-dia-covered college campus shoot-ings conducted by students in the past 20 years, the shooter had a his-tory of mental illness.

Franklin said in order to curb this issue, there needs to be greater emphasis on mental health educa-tion.

“I think as college students, we’re very much in that ‘invincible’ mindset right now, and people may be dealing with mental health is-sues and they don’t want to address it, and that’s how you have those instances and incidents,” she said.

According to a survey of 765 college students by the National Association of Mental Illness com-piled in 2012, 73 percent of students experienced a mental health crisis while in college, and 62 percent did not know how to access accommo-dations for students diagnosed with mental health conditions.

The new Student Government Association ticket has proposed an emphasis on mental health educa-tion at UGA

“If the culture and the students are more willing to talk about it, then that could be something that we can work on together,” Franklin said.

Taking all aspects into account, including security, crime rates and mental health, Franklin feels that guns on campus simply is not a good idea.

“It just shouldn’t be a thing here.”

GUNS: Right to carry fuels disagreement on campus

BY NATE HARRIS @grtgbln

It will hopefully never happen, but should some-one open fire on campus, would you know what to do?

“Shootings are low frequency on college cam-puses, but they are very impactful when they do happen,” said Pete Gold-en.

University of Geor-gia police undergo situa-tional training for an ac-tive shooter two or three times a year and at least once a year jointly with

Athens-Clarke County police in different build-ings all across campus as well as off-campus.

The Behavioral As-sessment & Response Council at UGA, com-prised of administrators and UGA police chief, also plays a role in pre-venting active shooter situations by gathering to assess and determine appropriate responses to individuals who display threatening behavior.

However, Golden, emergency operations co-ordinator in the Office of Emergency Preparedness

at UGA, said that after the shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007, there has been a lot of EMS training and precautions. But he said little has been done to prepare students and faculty for an emergency situation.

“Always be pre-pared,” he said. “Don’t be paranoid about an emer-gency happening, but just know your surroundings and have a plan ready in the event something hap-pens.”

Golden said the first hurdle of responding to a situation is recognizing

that a situation is actu-ally occurring.

“The first reaction is natural justification,” he said. “People try to ratio-nalize the situation. Like we saw at Virginia Tech, they think ‘Oh, it’s just construction.’ Some-times, it can actually be what it sounds like.”

Golden said that people must first over-come this reaction and understand that some-times, that sound might actually be a gun going off.

He said a shooter situation can happen anytime and anywhere, from a movie theater to an elementary school to a shopping mall to col-lege campus.

“As far as grade schools, there are no in-tercom systems, class-es are scattered across multiple buildings and there is no main office for visitors to check in

at,” Golden said.Although that lesson

has been drilled into most students’ heads since they started grade school, Golden said that some people forget in the heat of the moment.

“If you find yourself in an active shooter or active threat situation, remem-ber to call 911,” he said. “Don’t ever assume that someone else has already called. You could have that one crucial piece of information that can help police in the situation.”

Studies show that when first responders arrive, 97 percent of in-cidents are over fairly quickly.

Golden said that, should a student come in contact with an attacker, they should first try to run away.

If fleeing is not pos-sible, such as in the in-stance of being trapped in a classroom, Golden said to barricade the door and stop the attacker from entering the room.

In the event that the attacker enters the room and begins to shoot, only then should students fight back.

“Pretty much any-thing not bolted down can be used as a weapon,” Golden said. “Shoes, text-books, desks.”

Golden also gave tips

to remember during an incident, including using a backpack full of books as a makeshift bulletproof vest, students inform-ing their parents of their safety to keep the phone lines clear, providing 911 dispatchers with as much information as possible and not opening the door until confirming that the person requesting en-trance is a police officer.

UGA police also ad-vise students to take pro-active measures to stay informed about incidents on campus, including subscribing to the UGA Alert system and mental-ly rehearsing exit plans.

Tax season is a difficult time for many, but especially for students who may be filing tax re-turns for the first time.

University of Georgia students can find some guidance at Georgia United Credit Union branch, which has teamed up with financial planning and accounting majors to provide free tax prepara-tion and filing assistance.

BY KatelYn Umholtz@Kumh0ltz

In comparison to other Southern Regional Education Board insti-tutions, the University of Georgia’s professors are paid far less and have not seen much of an increase in their pay either.

Of the 15 reporting SREB universities, UGA has seen the lowest in-crease in professor pay from 2001-2014, accord-ing to the salary propos-al UGA President Jere Morehead submitted to University System of Georgia.

The proposal stated the average faculty salary, as of fiscal year 2014, was $109,400, putting UGA in last place out of the 15 SREB universities for professor pay and 12th for associate professor pay averaging $80,800.

***In a letter to USG

Chancellor Henry Huck-aby, Morehead said this slow increase resulted in negative consequences for not just UGA but the state as a whole.

“Because the ability to recruit and retain top-flight faculty is critical to the success of public higher education in the state, these trends have troubling implications for the future,” Morehead said in the letter. “While departures for more lu-crative offers have been successfully countered in some instances, in others we are simply not able to match the financial packages being offered by regional and national peers.”

Morehead said rais-es in pay keep or bring in talented professors to UGA, and without top-notch professors UGA cannot compete with other comparable insti-tutions.

Morehead also de-clared at the State of the University address that getting a merit raise was a top priority.

Since then, the Board

of Regents has also made this issue their top pri-ority, and Huckaby even proposed merit raises for professors to the Georgia General Assembly.

“Our budget propos-al, which makes a salary increase our top priori-ty of our budget, is sup-ported by the BOR, and the Governor has recom-mended it to the Legisla-ture as they prepare the Fiscal Year 2016 budget now,” said Charles Sut-live, vice chancellor for USG Communications.

***Back in 2001, UGA

ranked sixth among 15 universities, with its pro-fessors earning an av-erage of $85,000; UGA ranked eighth for paying its associate professors $60,500.

UGA professors re-ceived $3,000 more than Florida professors and $7,100 more than Ala-bama professors in 2001; associate professors also earned more at UGA than the two comparable institutions.

Now, UGA pro-fessors’ average sala-ry stands at $109,400. Though that does sug-

gest some increase, it is not nearly as much of an increase as other schools.

Florida professors make $18,900 more than UGA professors, and Al-abama professors $28,600 more; associate profes-sors at the two universi-ties now earn much more than those at UGA.

How could UGA go from beating out a ma-jority of its competitors, professor salary wise to falling dead last?

“When the recession hit, we were not able to provide salary increas-es for faculty and staff,” Sutlive said. “Last year was the first salary in-crease for faculty and staff in five years.”

During the recession the South was hit hard, and pay raises for state employees, specifical-ly those at universities, were not common for that period of time.

In 2013, the Florida state government issued a pay raise to state work-ers — the first time in seven years.

Louisiana State Uni-versity experienced this for four years before 2013, when workers received a

pay raise. During that four-year period, faculty salaries were frozen.

But the recession has long been over, and Morehead is making a point that for UGA to stand out among its competitors, it must invite in the best of the best.

In this instance, that means attracting them with a large sala-ry.

“The fact that fac-ulty salaries comprise 7 percent of the formu-la used by U.S. News & World Report in cal-culating its rankings, as compared to alumni giving at 5 percent and graduation rates at 7.5 percent, underscores how critically import-ant faculty salaries are in maintaining and en-hancing the academic reputation of UGA,” Morehead said.

Sutlive said the budget has not yet been finalized, so exact numbers are too early to report on, but this raise will affect all facul-ty and staff in USG.

Professor salary raises to be made priority

Tax hacks: Protecting your money this April

Both UGA President Jere Morehead and University Systems of Georgia are pushing to make professor salary raises a priority. John roarK/Staff

Palmer’s Financial Planning tiPsLance Palmer, associate professor in the

College of Family and Consumer Sciences, who helped develop the UGA-GUCU partnership, gave some tips for students filing tax returns.

1. Students should be aware of the American Opportunity education credit

— The cap for qualifying expenses is $4,000. When filing for this credit, there is up to $2,500 tax credit and up to $1,000 refundable credit available.— Students can claim up to $4,000 in qual-ifying expenses for the American Opportunity Tax Credit and receive $2,500 maximum in tax credit. This credit can then be applied to the students’ taxes, effectively reducing the required tax payment to $0.— “A tax credit reduces the amount of taxes you owe by the amount of the credit and can reduce your tax liability to $0,” Palmer said.

2. The IRS will always contact people through the mail

— Palmer said that everyone should be ex-tremely skeptical when an email or phone call requests personal information, such as a Social Security number.— “The IRS already has our Social Security numbers. They don’t need to ask us for it,” he said.

eits’ Financial saFety tiPsThe UGA EITS website gives information

on how to protect against identity theft.

1. It’s important to take security precau-tions, even on personal computers

— Use a strong password.— Browse safely.— Use your software firewall.— Never send passwords or personal infor-mation in an email.— Avoid clicking links in emails or attach-ments.2. Public Computer Safety— Avoid online banking or shopping.— Delete personal files.— Avoid using email or other services which require passwords and usernames.— Clear history and close out of tabs.

Recently, the University of Georgia in tandem with UGA’s Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council banned hoop skirts and other ap-

parel that has anything to do with the Antebellum, Civil War-era Old South. I couldn’t be more proud of the decision to do this and I’m not the only one to feel this way.

The entire event was a slap in the face to those of us who were negatively affected by the events of the Old South. People and families have yet to recover from their ancestors being systematical-ly enslaved to build the Antebellum South, and I think the decision to wear clothing that reminisces on that time shows a complete disregard to those people.

It all has to do with respect. If we respected someone and their ancestral history, I don’t think it’s okay to continue doing things that could pos-sibly hurt them. Even if it might be unintentional harm, it is about the perception of those who actu-ally suffered due to slavery and not the perceptions of those whose ancestors either perpetuated or were uninvolved.

I can understand that many people have differ-ent ideas of what the Old South was about, but I feel like we all get taught just about the same thing in grade school. We should be aware of some type of history here and where the African-American race stood in this part of the country. The decision to ban these events was a smart one and shows that there is progress. Although this progress isn’t as fast as we want, it’s getting there.

Honestly, I think the entire thing was in bad taste. The fact that the fraternities and sororities were able to get away with this for so long shocks me. Something should have been done about this a long time ago. Either way, the ban shows that UGA is moving in the right direction and this couldn’t have happened at a more relevant time with the ra-cially insensitive events at Oklahoma and even with our own racially insensitive Yik Yak comments.

— A’Shondee Kinlaw is a senior from Homerville majoring in English

Two of the most well-known Greek life events at the University

of Georgia are SAE’s Magno-lia Ball and KA’s Old South. Both events remember the antebellum time period, while the gentlemen and their dates wear classic Southern attire such as suspenders and hoop skirts.

On March 16, UGA Pan-hellenic released a statement saying, “A standard aspect of event-planning for Greek or-ganizations is that costuming for events must be evaluated as to its appropriateness. The student leadership, staff and advisors, agree that ante-bellum hoop skirts are not appropriate in the context of some events.”

Although the antebellum time period is a significant era before the Civil War in which slavery was still promi-nent, neither of these Univer-sity events associate either evening with any racial con-notation or use their attire in an offensive manner.

SAE, founded in Alabama in 1856 before the Civil War, has deep Southern roots. Its Magnolia Ball occurs annu-ally and is its version of a spring formal, an event that each Panhellenic Greek orga-nization on campus also has every year.

KA, founded in Virginia in 1865, also originated in the South and holds their traditions dear to heart. Old South, in comparison to

Magnolia Ball, operates in a very similar fashion. One KA sophomore said “Old South is actually a celebration of our founders. We have a little celebration with ceremonies on Thursday and then we go out of town for our formal over the weekend. On Sat-urday we have a band and dinner and stuff too.” This KA sophomore attended his second Old South this year and claims to never have en-countered any racial conflict whatsoever during the event.

It is ironic that this decision was finalized one week after the SAE scandal in Oklahoma and resulted in generalizing Greek life in a negative light. While the SAE chapter in Oklahoma spe-cifically used offensive and racially insensitive terminol-ogy, neither of the fraternity chapters at UGA is associat-ed with this incident.

Both Magnolia Ball and Old South are traditional celebrations, commemorating the origin of their chapters with an old Southern theme of dress.

Neither of the chapters at UGA has been found guilty of any racially offensive actions during these events. The de-cision to ban hoop skirts was simply a domino effect from SAE at Oklahoma and should not be used as a generaliza-tion for other chapters across the nation.

Starbucks began a campaign, Race Together, to facilitate discussion about social justice issues with patrons and raise awareness of racial inequal-

ity that plagues the nation. According to the Starbucks website, the effort was “designed to stimulate conversa-tion, compassion and positive action regarding race in America.” As part of the initiative, Starbucks baristas were asked to optionally write “#RaceTogether” on cus-tomers’ cups and even start discussions about race with customers. Starbucks instructed baristas to cease these efforts within just a few days of beginning the campaign.

Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson said the compa-ny had planned to end the campaign on that day, but perhaps the swarm of controversy surrounding the campaign had a distinct influence. Race Together has not been abandoned completely, though. It is safe to say you will not have to deal with an awkward social justice conversation simply to obtain your latte.

As much as I want to support the Race Together campaign, I simply cannot. There are too many potential risks. As a general rule, the benefits should outweigh the risks before an idea is approved. For this campaign, Star-bucks became antsy and overeager without exploring all of the potential problems.

The positive action and compassion elements of this campaign are flawless. There is absolutely nothing wrong with treating individuals equally and kindly. As a society, we should stand in solidarity with one another — without having to be told by a Starbucks barista that it is the right thing to do. Nevertheless, if Race Togeth-er can promote a culture of compassion, I support this element.

I enjoy discussing social problems, and I enjoy cof-fee, but I do not particularly prefer that these activities mingle. The discussion aspect seems to be the biggest problem with the campaign. Asking Starbucks partners to indulge in important and sometimes sensitive social justice conversations while patrons just want to indulge in coffee is pushy. It leads to unnecessary social interac-tion that many individuals do not want to deal with at

all — let alone before they have had their coffee.Furthermore, it is unreasonable to believe that all

Starbucks partners are qualified to have sensitive dis-cussions on issues such as race. Of course, some indi-viduals may be trained in sensitive topics, but unless Starbucks implemented extensive training courses in social problems, not all baristas are equipped for social justice conversations.

Starbucks is trying to generate a local coffeehouse aura by encouraging a discussion-based environment in which people sit around, drink coffee and talk about social problems. In an effort to promote the importance of racial equality, though, Starbucks went too far by encouraging baristas to start off a morning conversation with a topic as serious as racial inequality.

Yet, it is great for companies such as Starbucks to take on social problems. The road to equality — whether it be racial, gender, class, etc. — cannot be walked alone. It is up to each of us to recognize that racism is not a thing of the past; rather, it is alive and ever-present, in both obvious and subtle ways, in our society. It is up to each of us to do what we can to eliminate this toxic inequality. Race, and consequentially racial inequality, infiltrates all aspects of life, so why should we make it off limits for some sectors, e.g., coffeehouse sectors, to be engaged in equality efforts?

The Race Together campaign, with a less abrasive approach, could go beyond Starbucks and potentially make strides toward ending racial inequality.

OUR TAKE

Every once in a while, something innovative bursts seemingly out of

thin air and the second you experience it, you know you’re experiencing the future.

More often than not though, you’re experiencing the present.

It’s hard to predict the fu-ture in almost any arena, but in the ever-changing landscape of social media, the line between blink-and-you-missed-it phe-nomena and the next big thing is growingly increasingly thin. This is the situation the world is in right now with the upstart live-streaming apps Meerkat and Periscope.

Meerkat and Periscope, which allow users to transmit a live feed of what is happen-ing around them to followers through social media, grabbed the technological world by sur-prise over the last two weeks, exploding first at the South by Southwest music festival and then expanding to the rest of the world.

The apps have proven useful in many fields, but just as any new product must be prop-erly vetted before its most ef-fective use is ascertained, so too must Meerkat and Periscope. In journalism, the field dearest to us at The Red & Black, these tools seem like they are capable of allowing spontaneous trans-mission of news events and hap-penings to mass audiences.

One can only imagine what value these live-streaming apps could have had if used during previous news events driven and aided by social media such as the Arab Spring of 2011 or during the Ferguson riots last summer.

One can also imagine these apps in the doldrums of every-day life. Actually, no one has to imagine this. It’s already hap-pening. According to analytics pulled from the website Topsy, the number of tweets contain-ing the key words “Meerkat,” “Periscope” and “live stream” has decreased from a peak of 89,068 on March 26 to 44,501 just four days later.

As a journalist, I’m still intrigued by Meerkat and Periscope. I think that these apps will be rather useful and transformative in how news outlets, journalists and every-day people go about viewing breaking news. They have the ability to utterly mutate how re-al-time events are consumed by media-hungry people who are unable to be on the scene. But again, the utility of these apps is still yet to be found.

I believe Meerkat and Peri-scope will improve into different forms of their present existence to a point that they may be fine-tuned to eliminate general inanity and satiate a more val-ue-specific angle.

But before this happens, we’re just stuck with a future in theory.

His part? To sprint naked through a house party. “It was a little strange, but I guess it’s not that

weird,” Miller said. “Everyone gets naked.” Torres-Torres said the reason that the video

seems haphazard and arbitrary is because the band and record label gave him freedom to do whatever he wished for the video. The label only required one thing — include lampshades on fire.

“There really is no story; the video lends itself to be interpreted by every individual that watches it in their own way,” Torres-Torres said. “I think that’s one of the key elements we were making sure that the vid-eo had — that it didn’t have a very strict, direct nar-rative.”

The process to create the video was brief. Loca-

tion scouting and filming the video lasted four days and editing took one week.

The video included many locations near Athens that Torres-Torres described as “time capsules” of Athens: a 230-year-old log cabin off Nowhere Road, the Fun Galaxy skating rink, the Bulldog Inn and Gos-pel Pilgrim Cemetery.

All of these locations led to a video filled with an Athens personality.

“I founded a very great project where I could em-brace all those wonderful things that I love about Ath-ens that made it unique and at the same time, Athens embraced me coming there,” Torres-Torres said. “Ath-ens was just the perfect place. I can’t imagine it going any smoother anywhere else.”

In recent years, downtown Athens has experienced a rapidly expanding student hous-ing industry. One Chi-cago-based company is looking to add five stories and 210 bedrooms to the housing boom by con-structing a new building next month.

Campus Acquisitions was approved on March 23 to begin demolition of the 165 E. Dougherty St. building, formerly the home of Four Athens.

Four Athens is a col-laborative community that provides office spac-es to technology-based startup companies so they can connect, inter-act and share resources with other companies.

“We know that the downtown area is a very attractive place for peo-

ple to live and this prop-erty being located next to downtown and only four blocks from UGA was very appealing to us,” said John Diedrich, Cam-pus Acquisitions’ vice president of investments.

Demolition will begin in May, and the building will be ready by fall of 2016.

Even though the project will begin in May, there has been resistance to continued luxury apartment development downtown.

“I hear from my con-stituents every day about how they’re not happy with this large scale, ho-mogeneous development that’s basically purely luxury student hous-ing,” said Melissa Link, Athens-Clarke County District 3 commissioner. “They’d love to see some retirement housing and workforce housing.”

Link said downtown has become a “luxury stu-dent playground” with its upsurge of bars and stu-dent housing.

The Athens-Clarke County Planning Com-mission denied the com-pany’s first construction proposal in August of last year because it contained too many bedrooms and did not designate enough ground floor area to com-mercial space.

After months of dis-putes, the company final-ly settled to agree to the commission’s require-ments.

In response, Died-rich said the company included smaller housing units to appeal to fami-lies and others who wish to lease spaces.

Of the structure’s 98 housing units, 50 will be one-bedroom, 16 will be two-bedroom and 32 will be four-bedroom.

Four Athens moved to the second floor of 345 W. Hancock St.

Even though Four Athens’ new location has significantly less square footage, mem-bers feel the site is more pleasant. Jim Flannery, project director for Four Athens, feels the Dougherty Street build-ing was “an old, dingy building” due to its yel-low ceilings, thin walls and lack of windows.

“I think [the move] can only be positive,” Flannery said. “It’s a nicer space; it’s a bet-ter showcase space. It makes us look more ma-ture and I think that’s only a good thing.”

A petition has started to circulate on Change.org, potentially polarizing a community in Athens: the vegetari-ans.

Cal Clements, an owner-member of the Daily Groceries Co-op, is petitioning the store to “stop selling tuna and create a meat-free poli-cy.”

Up until recently, Daily served Athens as a vegetarian and vegan co-op. But in addition to canned tuna, Daily has added chicken broth to its shelves.

“When we were founded, we were vege-tarian, aside from these products [canned tuna and cat and dog food],” said Andrea Malloy, gen-eral manager of Daily Groceries. “But in re-cent surveys, we know our customer base has changed. The only reason we are not pursuing meat right now is due to space concerns.”

Daily hired Malloy in 2011 to help stabilize its finances.

“I was brought on to make changes,” Malloy said. “The changes were to reach out to our co-op sisters and brothers throughout the country and follow their exam-ple.”

Malloy said there was no specification of meat sales when she be-gan work in 2011 after the board restructured its policies.

“In the last year, we added tuna fish sand-wiches. This was a re-quest from owners, that

our sandwiches did not meet their needs,” Malloy said.

However, selling meat raises flags within its customer base.

“One of the reasons I’m petitioning is because meat in any form is not sustainable,” said own-er-member Mark Flana-gan, a student pursuing a master’s in social work and public health.

Daily opened its board meeting to the public March 30.

About 40 people at-tended, many of whom were not owner-mem-bers.

“The co-op fills a niche within Athens for sustainable and ethical practices. It’s special because it’s been ethi-cally, environmentally sustainable for 20 years,

selling vegetarian items,” said Jakob Ledbetter, a non-owner-member. “Maybe there could be an opportunity for the vegetarian and vegan community ... to start a Kickstarter fundraiser to raise enough money to expand and take care of employees while being environmentally and eth-ically sustainable.”

Michael Wegner, an owner-member since 1992, voiced an opposing opinion.

“The fact that the co-op has been here 22 years, it’s a testament to it working … ultimately there could be a discus-sion of what’s right and wrong, but the co-op is responsible for acting on behalf of its member-ship,” Wegner said. “I would enjoy seeing more

options at the co-op — local meat from local farmers. I believe the co-op would have high-er standards than any other place in town.”

Malloy expressed difficulty in hearing people compare Daily to a corporate grocery store.

“We’ve seen a lot of comments from this pe-tition that say we’ll be just like Kroger or Earth Fare if we sell meat, but we’ll never be like that,” Malloy said. “We are accountable to our community. They own us. You would never see this kind of discussion even going on at Kroger or Earth Fare because they’re privately owned. They don’t have to.”

The legislative session for the state government will close Thursday and politicians are scrambling to push through last-minute bill proposals.

Rep. Spencer Frye (D-Athens) feels the heat but remains hopeful about the outcome of one bill in particular — “The Brunch Bill” — of which he was one of six early signers. The legislation, also know more technically as House Bill 535, is a move by state representatives to change the time in which business owners in Georgia are permitted to sell alcohol on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.

If the bill, which is primarily sponsored by Rep. Brett Harrell (R-Snellville), passes the state Sen-ate, it promises to raise the revenue of restaurants downtown significantly.

“It’s coming down to the wire,” Frye said. But Halley O’Stein, a second-year graduate

student studying finance, said she finds it difficult to fathom that expanding the time to sell alcohol legally by a mere two hours would have a significant effect on restaurant sales in Athens.

Still, research uncovered by the Georgia Restaurant Trade Group estimates that if the bill became a law, it would increase profits of Georgia businesses that sell alcohol on Sundays by $100

million each year.Shawn Butcher, general manager for the Por-

terhouse Grill, said he is fully aware of the bill and has been following its path from the House to the Senate.

Butcher, a graduate of UGA who assumed the role of General Manager starting in 2011, under-stands the significance of this bill as it relates to his restaurant.

Porterhouse opens its doors for brunch on Sundays at 11:30 a.m., but in accordance with the standing state law, it cannot sell alcohol until 12:30 p.m. until when its brunch begins.

“We are allowed to sell alcohol for an hour and a half,” he said. “To extend that one more hour, that’s 52 hours of alcohol sales every year — which trans-lates to thousands of dollars.”

Butcher said he’s had many customers request drinks before 12:30 p.m.

“If there’s a market for it, we should be able to meet the demand,” Butcher said, in reference to the unmet desire of his customers each Sunday morn-ing.

Butcher said he hopes the bill will expand the rights of business owners as it relates to the hours and items that they sell.

“This isn’t about alcohol. It’s about the rights of a business owner more than anything,” he said.

Besides the many outdoor activities that the Classic City holds, there are almost as many great restaurants that provide an excuse to enjoy good food and good weather. Here are some of the city’s best warm-weather restau-rants.

Cali N TiTo’s An Athens classic

for summertime eating, this Cuban restaurant offers outdoor eating almost exclusively. With an assortment of enter-taining lawn decorations, unconventional seating and a bring-your-own-beer policy for those of age, the eatery thrives during good weather. Located off of Lumpkin Street, Cali N Tito’s is an affordable and enter-taining spot to spend warm-weather evenings.

MaMa’s Boy Mama’s Boy is

famous for its delicious Southern-style breakfast and brunch. The out-door picnic table seat-ing really gives you an excuse to pig out at the restaurant once again in honor of summer weath-er arriving. The delicious home-style eatery stands in east Athens on Oak Street.

Big CiTy Bread Café

Sitting on North

Finley Street northwest of downtown Athens, Big Bread City Café is one of the Classic City’s most versatile dining spots. The restaurant offers a diverse menu, in addition to its in-house bakery. During the year’s hotter months, the café’s outdoor courtyard dining fills up with custom-ers enjoying meals and

pastries underneath elm trees and intimate lighting.

The sulTaN The Sultan is some-

what of an underdog in the world of well-known Athens eateries. The Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restau-rant serves a selection of cheaply priced food that is both authentic and appetizing. With outdoor patio seating and deliv-ery service, The Sultan offers the opportunity to enjoy an outdoor meal at the convenience of its customers. The Sultan sits on Baxter Street between Alps Road and South Milledge Avenue.

Taqueria del sol Known to be crowd-

ed on almost any given evening, the Southwest and Mexican eatery is especially worth the wait

during Georgia’s warm-er seasons. Located on Prince Avenue, Taque-ria Del Sol has one of Athens’s largest outdoor

eating patios, with even its indoor seating feeling open-air. The restau-rant’s simple menu and lively atmosphere makes

it an appealing spot to meet for a summer meal.

On March 24, the University of Georgia quietly launched its “Maker Space,” located in the Science Library on South Campus. This location brings together a vast array of cut-ting-edge gadgets and tech, including 3-D printers, laser cutters and micro-computers in response to a growing academic dependence on technology.

The academic world is becoming increasingly dependent upon tech-nology and its many functions. These tools facilitate the process of learning. For many students, technology intro-duced in the Maker Space is creating a much more engaging and hands on experience.

“The Maker Space and 3-D work-shops are new technology spreading all over the country,” said Liz Holdsworth, science librarian and project coordi-nator for the Maker Space. “It’s not something that has just spread over academia but also at the public level.”

The Maker Space held its soft-opening on March 24 during UGA’s ThincWeek. It is accessible through appointment online in spring and during the summer. It will be fully accessible by August.

The Maker Space, located on the ground level of the science library, is equipped with three 3-D printers, a 3-D scanner and a laser cutter. It also features Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi microcomputers, along with their components.

“I’m confident that we’ve created a space with enough diversity of tech-nology that there will be a broad ap-peal across campus,” said Jason Bat-tles, deputy university librarian and director of library technologies.

Perhaps the most highly antici-pated piece of technology in the lab is the 3-D printer. The 3-D scanners al-low students to create a rendering of an object that they can then create a model of using the 3-D printer.

Students may also utilize the Ar-duino Uno and Raspberry Pi. Rasp-berry Pi helps users with programming applications while Arduino Uno focus-es more on interfacing with mechani-cal operations.

“We’re all accustomed to using software applications and programs, but there’s not as many opportunities to do hands on work with hardware pieces and computing and mechanical operations,” Battles said.

Students of all fields are encour-aged to use the space.

“We’re really trying to make it available for everyone so it’s not just focused on engineering or sciences, but so it’s focused on all types of stu-dents,” said Holdsworth.

In a recent study con-ducted by University of Georgia music business professor David Lowery, a survey suggests that college students paid for Spotify subscrip-tions less frequently over the course of a year.

The number of us-ers of the free service shrank from 52.53 per-cent to 46.34 percent from 2014 to 2015. Also, the rate of students who reported not using Spotify at all rose from 13.64 percent to 18.05 percent, suggesting that students may be moving from Spotify al-together.

Though Lowery mostly listened to mu-sic on vinyl and cassette tapes as a college stu-dent, he now primarily uses streaming services, including Spotify.

“I have free premi-um subscriptions to all the services because I’m such a critic,” Low-ery said. “I think weirdly the one I’ve gravitated towards lately is Rhap-sody.”

Given out to around 200 UGA students, Low-ery insists that his study is merely a preliminary sample. He has sent the survey out to 12 college campuses across the U.S. in order to collect more data.

“There’s no defin-itive way to tell. This is just sort of informa-tive with this group of students. This is what looks like is happening. You can’t say scientifi-cally this is what is hap-pening across the rest of the country,” Lowery said. “But, subjective-ly, I can say if I were a betting person I would bet that a similar thing is happening across the country.”

Trevor Adams, biochemistry and mo-lecular biology major and music director at WUOG 90.5 FM, feels that Lowery’s results are not so much a de-cline in Spotify usage as they are a lack of growth.

“It seems to me that any college student who would be interest-ed in Spotify is already aware of it and using it,” Adams said. “I don’t think we’re going to see big changes in Spotify numbers unless a lot of popular artists start pulling their music, like Taylor Swift, or a com-petitor from an estab-lished brand like Apple comes onto the scene.”

Lowery also theo-rized that a competi-tor may have caused a decline in paid Spotify use and could possibly account for the percent-age growth of students not using Spotify in his study.

“I think Spotify’s main problem is that they’re competing with YouTube,” Lowery said. “It’s technically a streaming service too. There’s some advantag-es, but the difference is so narrow from a con-sumer’s perspective.”

Lowery predicts that the extension of his study will yield similar results and will likely re-flect a continuing trend for many more years.

“I think you will see a similar trend for a lit-

tle while. They’re sort of part of a generation that grew up listening to mu-sic on YouTube and I bet you that has something

to do with it,” Lowery said. “Because of that, we will see this trend for a lit-tle while.”

HEPTATHLON

Sports

LONg JumPPENTATHLON TRIPLE JumPDEFINITION: The heptathlon requires a good amount of strength and agility to perform in all events successfully. It is com-prised of the five events of the pentathlon plus the javelin throw and the 200-meter dash.EXPERT’S TAKE: “The hardest part of doing the heptathlon is honestly training for it. You have to lift heavy but you can’t get too bulky because you’re going to have to be able to run a mid-dis-tance.” — Kendell WilliamsCRITICAL MOMENT: Though people assume these events can be reduced to natural ability, the best heptathletes derive the extra points through a focus on technique, especially in the shot put and javelin throws. JUDGEMENT: Each of the seven events in the heptathlon are assigned a specific score value for achievements. The faster the run or the further the jump or throw, the higher the score. GEORGIA 2014 OUTDOOR RECORD: 6,018 — Kendell Williams (American junior and U.S. junior record)

DEFINITION: In the long jump, athletes sprint down the runway after exploding off from a board. The goal is not necessarily the height of the jump but the dis-tance.EXPERT’S TAKE: “You try to get as much [speed] as you can the last six or four steps. And you take off.” — Keturah OrjiCRITICAL MOMENT: The last steps are crucial to this event because they will improve your leap as well as generate an high-er acceleration. JUDGEMENT: After landing, the judges measure the length of the jump from the board where the takeoff occurred. The measure-ment is recorded in feet and inches. The further the jump, the more sizeable edge it creates for the overall event.GEORGIA 2015 INDOOR BEST: 21 feet, 5.5 inches — Kendell WilliamsALL-TIME COLLEGE RECORD: 22 feet, 11.25 inches — Jackie Joyner-Kersee (University of California, Los Angeles)

DEFINITION: The pentathlon con-tains five events all in one day. It kicks off with the 60-meter hur-dles followed by the high jump, shot put, long jump and the 800-meter dash.EXPERT’S TAKE: “It’s based on a point system. It’s running, jumping, and throwing, which contributes to your overall point total. It’s separated by 30 min-utes in between each event. But pretty much you just have to keep going.” — Kendell Williams, sophomore member of the track teamCRITICAL MOMENT: To say the pentathlon has a specific critical moment is an understatement. From start to finish, it requires a proper amount of endurance and stamina.JUDGEMENT: Each of the five events in the pentathlon are assigned a specific score value for achievements. The faster or further the run, jump or throw, the higher the score. The highest summation of all five scores offi-cially wins the event. GEORGIA 2015 INDOOR RECORD: 4,678 — Kendell Williams (all-time college record)

DEFINITION: The triple jump begins identically to the long jump, but the difference is a hop step followed by a long jump, cre-ating three jumps instead of just one.EXPERT’S TAKE: “You try to get as much speed in the last four steps. And the takeoff from the board is a hop step and then a jump. The last part is a long jump but there’s a hop step before it and they measure from the board again.” — Keturah Orji, freshman member of the track teamCRITICAL MOMENT: As simple as the event may seem, the diffi-culty lies in technique. According to Orji, the hardest technical aspect of the triple jump is figur-ing out arm movement.JUDGEMENT: After landing, the judges measure the length of the jump from the board where the takeoff occurred. The measure-ment is then recorded in feet and inches. The further the jump, the more sizeable edge it creates for the overall event.GEORGIA 2015 INDOOR BEST: 45 feet, 10.5 inches — Keturah Orji (Georgia and American junior record)

He doesn’t really take anything lightly. He has tunnel vision, with Georgia acting as the light at its end, and he’s often at a loss for words — with good reason.

Of the 12 grandchildren on his mother’s side, Cho-ates will be the first and only to attend college. He’ll also be the first to graduate from high school.

Though listed as a three-star safety by 247Sports.com, Choates played offense, defense and special teams in his time at Tri-Cities High School in East Point. In a time where Georgia is wearing thin at wide receiver, Choates is a versatile player and isn’t picky about where he lines up. Eventually, he wants to win the Jim Thorpe Award, the trophy given to the na-tion’s premier defensive back, and play in the NFL.

But even he’ll tell you he has to get to Athens first.

“Just to look my parents in the eyes and tell them, ‘Hey, I’m making it out of East Point College Park,’ that’s a gift I can never repay,” Choates said. “It’s always bigger than just football.”

It’s bigger than just football, but football is big, too. Choates didn’t need the 48 hours in between his official visit on Sunday, Feb. 1, and National Signing Day to make any decisions. He made up his mind to play at Georgia a long time ago and spent his child-hood chasing the idea.

He was going to go to Georgia, and Georgia was going to win a national championship.

“That’s where I wanted to be,” Choates said. “That’s what I always wanted to be.”

On Choates’ official visit, he was surrounded by five-star defensive tackle Trent Thompson and safe-ties Jarvis Wilson and Johnathan Abram, all Georgia commits who could rest easy knowing they’d soon be back in Athens to stay. Choates was the only one with no offer and thus no commitment.

Or so he thought. When in fact, his parents had al-ready been informed Georgia head coach Mark Richt would soon look Choates square in the eye, shake his hand and offer him the opportunity to play at Georgia.

“We were told not to say anything,” Mamie Carey, Choates’ mother, said. “So we had to hold it in the whole visit.”

“My mom can’t hold water,” Kirby said jokingly.It was hard for Carey to keep the secret from

her son, particularly when Choates retreated to his hotel room in tears at the thought of Georgia coaches dragging him to Athens with no intent to offer him a scholarship.

“He would not loosen up, let go, go enjoy himself,” Carey said. “And I wanted to tell him so bad, it was hurting my heart.”

But those troubles were short-lived. Just a few days later, Choates signed to play at Georgia by way of holding up his five-month-old niece dressed in a Georgia onesie.

“When coach Mark Richt sat me down and of-fered me a full ride to the University of Georgia, that moment there,” Kirby said, pausing. “That moment there, I can’t even describe it.”

The boy who has watched almost every Georgia game since he was 3 years old, the man who says he sticks to a routine of school, tutoring, football, work-ing out and little else, proceeded to verbally commit on the spot.

Despite its ring and believability, Smith and Wagland is not the name of a law firm.

Instead of serving justice, Austin Smith and Ben Wagland are serving tennis balls and doing so exceptional-ly well to the tune of a No. 1 national doubles ranking.

“We just complement each other well,” Smith, a junior, said. “With a lefty [Wagland] and a righty I think that always helps in doubles. It gives people a good mix of how the serve comes in, and I’m a little bit more about my returns and baseline and he likes serve and volley.”

Smith and Wagland are a pair-ing new to this season, having never played together before this year. This makes their ascension all the more impressive, becoming highly ranked in such a short amount of playing time.

“We came into Georgia together

and were unfortunate to not be able to play together the first two years, so I was playing with Hernus Pieters and we did well together those first two years,” Wagland, also a junior, said. “So me and Austin have really been looking forward to getting a chance to play now in our junior year together and it’s been going great.”

Smith will be the first to admit that he and Wagland “have pretty opposite games in a lot of ways,” and that Wagland “probably has a little bit more feel of the net, and I have a pretty good return.”

For Georgia head coach Manny Diaz, the tennis relationship between Wagland and Smith has a kind of sym-biosis to it.

“They complement each other very well,” Diaz said. “We have Ben who’s an experienced two-time dou-bles All-American, with experience at the No. 1 doubles position, and Austin who comes in and really just been so impressive. He’s improved his serve and his volleys, and his instincts

around the net. Ben plays a great role and he’s made him [Smith] better.”

Wagland echoes Diaz’s senti-ments and feels that if there’s an area where he may be lacking, Smith can

pick it up.“We have a good mix. Austin’s

really good on the return of serve where I kind of struggle, so we get a lot of chances to break. And I’m more of a guy who likes to serve and volley and be around the net, so if I can help him out, he can help me out. That’s why we’re doing well.”

The pair’s rapid success has put them in hallowed company. Smith and Wagland are the first doubles pairing at Georgia to be ranked number one since John Isner and his partner Louis Flores.

Any time the name Isner is men-tioned around the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, ears perk up. There is no shortage of reverence for the Geor-gia alumnus, now ranked in the top

tier of singles players professionally. For Smith and Wagland, to be in the same company is not lost.

“It looks pretty cool to be num-ber one, after John Isner,” Wagland said. “It’s definitely an honor to get to number one in the country.”

While the recognition is some-thing to celebrate, Wagland said it also means little in the middle of the season.

“It would mean more to us if we can finish the year at No. 1, and just keep it rolling,” Wagland said.

➤ From Page B1

Choates wasn’t exactly highly recruit-ed out of high school. When he committed to Georgia, the group was instructed to keep the secret a little while lon-ger.

When his offers were read aloud as he sat at his school with his parents on National Signing Day, Tennes-see State, University of Massachusetts, Geor-gia Southern and Jack-sonville State were all called out — Georgia was left off. It wasn’t until Choates lifted his niece onto the table and heard the crowd gasp that people knew his decision.

“They didn’t want to offer me so early, and then Bama rolls in and Clemson rolls in and I end up going to one of those schools instead of Georgia,” Choates said. “But everyone knew I was a Dog all the way.”

Choates’ future as a Bulldog is uncertain. If he sticks at safety, he will have to crawl over juniors Quincy Mauger and Devin Gillespie and redshirt sophomore Tramel Terry on the depth chart. Choates said defensive coordi-nator Jeremy Pruitt wants him to be able to play every defensive po-sition, and he has heard Richt might want him to run the ball — which he’d be fine with. Put him in at quarterback,

and he’d give it a whirl, at least so he said.

Self-motivation and ambition lying within him, it’s also his father’s hand that kept Choates on the straight and nar-row path, especially con-cerning his grades and discipline. Choates’ fa-ther, Kirby Choates Sr., played college football at Tuskegee University, but was eventually kicked out, Choates said.

“He didn’t want me to follow in his footsteps,” said Choates, who men-tioned his 4.0 GPA at Tri-Cities this semester. “He stayed on me a lot, he was strict and I un-derstand why because I was really bad when I was younger. I see why he was so strict.”

Fans and followers of Georgia football have used many terms to de-scribe Choates, including “underdog” and “sleep-er” — and that’s if they’ve even heard of him. He could get lost in the shuf-fle of Georgia’s No. 6 2015 signing class. Whatever the nickname, it usually indicates some underesti-mation of skill on his op-ponent’s part.

One of Choates’ high school coaches, Kenneth Miller, thinks those are misnomers.

“Everybody we played against, [Kirby is] who they prepared to stop,” Miller said. “And so, when you talk to oth-er coaches, you ask them, ‘Well, what do you think our weakness was?’ And they say ‘We felt like if we

could stop Kirby, we could limit you guys’ chances.’”

Miller also said he is confident in Choates’ ability to fight his way onto the field at Georgia, in some way, shape or form.

“If I know Kirby, and if he’s given the opportu-nity, which I know he’ll get, he’ll probably play next year,” Miller said. “He’ll be on the field.”

Choates stepped onto his first football field at an early age. Although she wasn’t expecting it, his mom could see him grow steadily more se-rious about making his dream of attending Geor-gia a reality.

“I never, never dreamed of my child playing college football,” Carey said, describing Choates as a sweet and quiet child with whom she never had problems. “He’s been playing foot-ball since the age of 5, and I just thought, that’s just what you do. You put lit-tle boys in football. He’ll grow out of it.”

But he never did.He did, however, grow

into a 6-foot, 191-pound frame that will soon be dressed in considerably more red and black than before.

“It means so much, that I want to pick the best words as possible to describe the feeling,” Choates said. “But I can’t think of the words, be-cause it’s indescribable.”

Soon, Choates won’t have to describe it. He’ll be living it.

The Red & Black Thursday, April 2, 2015 Sports B3

BY JAYLON THOMPSON@jaylonthompson

On March 20, se-nior third baseman Anna Swafford stepped to the plate against the Arkan-sas Razorbacks.

The bases were load-ed as she awaited the first pitch. As a rise ball came barreling towards her, Swafford shifted her hips and allowed the pitch to travel to her body. At the last second, Swafford pulled her arms in and blasted the pitch over the centerfield wall for a grand slam. Swafford’s at-bat fi-nally displayed the perfect technique she has been working on all season.

“Recently we have been focusing on working around our spine instead of letting our hands get away from our swing,” Swafford said. “This helps us a lot to be able to hit the ball hard wherever it is thrown.”

What Swafford is re-ferring to is a change in the team’s hitting mental-ity. Georgia hitting coach Tony Baldwin is the archi-tect behind changing the thought process. He has made strides by creating a hitting language the play-ers can understand.

“We talk about the milk jug,” Baldwin said. “If you have your milk jug out of the refrigerator and you hold it away from your body, it feels pretty heavy. But, if you have the milk jug close to your body, it is not heavy at all.”

The milk terminology refers to Baldwin’s philos-ophy. He wants the play-ers to allow the ball to get close to their body. This generates more power as the players make contact off the top of their swing. It also provides a shorter

radius which helps give a batter more control as to where to hit the ball after contact. As a result, the new philosophy has paid off for the Bulldogs this season.

The team owns the NCAA’s second-best team batting average at .370 and is fourth in the NCAA in scoring percent-age at 8.03 a game. The Bulldogs also have hit 33 home runs and drove in 289 runs as well. Further-more, if you add these numbers into their .560 slugging percentage, it makes the team rank 14th in the NCAA in that cate-gory. Every statistic is im-portant, but it is the runs that impress Baldwin the most.

“We want to play to our strengths and score a bunch of runs,” Baldwin said. “That is our goal ev-ery day. The team motto is 10 to win. We want to try

to score 10 every time we take the field.”

While the Bulldogs want to score many runs, they are very selective in their approach. As a re-sult, the team is a walking oxymoron. They have an aggressive approach yet are very patient in choos-ing the right pitch that suits their liking. It is im-portant for the Bulldogs to make the best baseball decision at all times. The team has players that are willing to take a walk, drop a sacrifice bunt or be a slapper in key situa-tions. No one is more will-ing to do so than senior Niaja Griffin.

“My last two years I was a slapper,” Griffin said. “I do whatever it takes for the team. The team needs me to slap, I will slap. Whatever the team needs me to do, I will do.”

It is this senior leader-

ship that has allowed for Baldwin’s philosophy to take hold in the minds of the players. By leading by example, the seniors like Swafford and Griffin have made the transi-tion from former hitting coach Gerry Glasco to Baldwin seamless.

The result has been eye-opening and is the reason the Bulldogs have raced out to a 29-8 record on the season. While the team is reap-ing a lot of benefits, Baldwin said he knows the team has a lot more to work on. However, he said he is glad to be seeing his players per-forming what they have learned in practice.

“I keep telling them to get up there and get your swing off,” Baldwin said. “Get your swings going on a good pitch and good things are go-ing to happen.”

The retirement age of professional athletes is younger than those who are not.

“Say you go to the WNBA, the NBA, or you play professional golf, or you go to the NFL, you are going to retire in your 30s,” Georgia senior asso-ciate student athletic di-rector for student devel-opment Ted White said. “There’s a lot of life left after that.”

Nothing lasts for-ever. In the case of stu-dent-athletes, being an athlete won’t last forever.

“What we try to talk to [athletes] about is that it doesn’t matter if a [sport] ends at grad-uation or at retirement when you are 35,” White said. “You are still going to need the degree and the preparation for your other career.”

Other career options vary among the Universi-ty of Georgia student-ath-letes. White says there are 14 different basket-ball players who have 11 different majors. On the baseball team there are 36 players and among those players, there are 14 different majors.

On the women’s ten-nis team, there are nine players. Eight players hold a stake in seven ma-jors. Freshman Mariana Gould recently decided her major after battling between two choices.

“I just picked,” Gould said. “Right now I’m health promotions and double majoring with psy-chology. I’m still trying to decide if I want to stick with psychology or switch over to digital broadcast-ing, which I would love.”

Student-athletes are majoring in fields that could lead to a career involving sports. There are 32 players majoring in sports-related health, management and jour-nalism fields in those four sports alone. Gould’s post-graduate plans fall along the same trajectory

— at least as of right now.“My whole life has

been sports and tennis, so I want to do some-thing with that,” Gould said. “At the same time, I wanted to venture away and have something oth-er than sports in my life. With psychology, I can do sports psychology or I can do just psychology.”

Gould is not the only psychology major on the women’s tennis team. Ju-nior Silvia Garcia has sim-ilar plans.

“I’m a psychology major and I’m interested in business psychology,

like human resources,” Garcia said. “But I’m also interested in sports psy-chology. I’m not sure what I will do after school, but I would like to relate those two things somehow.”

Major distribution is important for White in terms of how stu-dent-athletes and athlet-ic programs develop. He says it is healthy because it demonstrates that ath-letes are not all picking one easy major to coast through eligibility.

Their schedules are hectic, but Garcia says it allows them to be better students and more em-ployable after school.

“When we have less time we use it better,” Garcia said. “The time management is some-thing that we can try to control and use to our advantage.”

One major that is popular among athletes is digital and broadcast journalism, among other forms of journalism and communication studies.

While the class re-quirement of digital and broadcast journalism is time constraining, it is not the only way for ath-letes interested in the major to get experience. If this is the case for athletes, White says the best way to make sure students can partici-pate in such strenuous majors is by preparing ahead of time.

“If we know a stu-dent is in that major, and

we know that the spring of their junior year,” White said, “they are going to be locked up in these courses on Tuesday and Thursday because they are going to be going out filming things and run-ning a news show, then we can alert everyone in advance.”

There are also other options for athletes pur-suing a career in broad-cast. Internships and job shadows are popular ways for athletes to combat their restrictive schedule.

“That is where we step in and try to reach out to contacts we have to ask if a network or a TV station will be willing to take them on as an intern

in the summer,” White said. “That job experience helps counteract the time lost in the classroom.”

Whether athletes de-cide to pursue a career in their sport or in their major, it takes a support team to help them ac-complish their goals.

“We tell them that if you work with your sup-port network, and you communicate with your professors, if you engage with classmates, work with your tutors and men-tors, and trust in the peo-ple around you and the information that you are handed, it’s going to work out,” White said.

Softball adjusts defensively after Swafford’s return

BY JORDAN D. HILL@JordanDavisHill

The Georgia Bulldogs are like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle: As long as all parts are present, the order in which they are chosen is irrelevant.

Most of the pieces of the Bulldogs’ roster were shaken up on Feb. 13 when third baseman Anna Swafford was hit in the face by a hard ground ball in a game against Elon.

“It honestly was a freak accident,” Swafford said. “I had a perfect read on the ball and thought I was going to field it like usual, but it took a bad hop pret-ty much right in my face.”

The play left Swafford with four fractured facial bones, two fewer teeth and a short stint on the bench as she recovered.

Swafford’s injury led Georgia head coach Lu Harris-Champer to make a unique decision. Instead of calling on an inexperienced backup to fill the hole at the hot corner, Harris-Champer took a different approach to the situation.

She decided to rework the majority of her infield.

Shortstop Paige Wilson became third baseman Paige Wilson. Second baseman Alex Hugo adjusted to play as a shortstop. And Cortni Emanuel, a freshman who was barely used to being a collegiate outfielder, took on the role of the team’s second baseman.

“[Moving positions] is what makes a teammate a great teammate,” Har-ris-Champer said. “When you truly are all about the team, the position that you’re assigned to shouldn’t matter.”

Any adjustment period for these three was barely noticeable to onlook-ers as the Bulldogs rolled by major Divi-sion I opponents like Indiana and then-No.4/3 Oklahoma. However, that isn’t to say there were not some growing pains felt along the way.

“[It took] a good amount of work,” Hugo said. “I had to adjust to having a

different kind of range on the other side of the field and also a different length to throw. We also had to make sure we all meshed well.”

The circumstances proved to be a far greater challenge for Swafford.

After sitting for close to two weeks, she returned to the lineup as a desig-nated player in Georgia’s 16-0 win over Townsend. The senior went 3-for-3 with one RBI in a game that led her to pon-der the big picture of her playing career for the first time.

Swafford’s return to third was final-ly completed Mar. 18 when the Bulldogs traveled to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech.

With these four Bulldogs now back in their intended territories, Georgia cruised by the Yellow Jackets with a 14-0 victory. Six hits and nine RBI in the blowout arrived off the bats of the Hugo, Wilson and Swafford trio.

“We have so many great players that are willing to play where they’re needed, but I know it threw them off some when I couldn’t play in the in-field,” Swafford said. “I was glad that I was able to get back and help everyone else become more comfortable being back in their normal positions.”

Georgia’s victory over Georgia Tech stood as the first of what is now eight straight starts with Swafford back at third.

Although the lineup is back as it was initially intended, the brief period in which the roles were reassigned was incredibly telling for those involved.

“It is pretty awesome that so many of the girls are so athletic that they can play infield or outfield just based on the team’s needs,” Harris-Champer said. “They put the team before their own personal ego. I think that’s really re-markable and outstanding.”

Georgia’s persistence in an instance that could have derailed a weaker team illustrated just how flexible and danger-ous this group of players really is.

With Swafford now healthy, the Bulldogs have even more firepower at the plate. Standout starting pitchers Chelsea Wilkinson and Brittany Gray can again rely on the defense to scoop

up balls and gun down batters without ever thinking twice.

All of this makes it look as if the pieces for a playoff-run picture are fall-ing into place.

We met at Walker’s during ka-raoke last week. You and your friend did a hilarious rendition of Papercut by Linkin Park. I meant to get your number, but you were gone before I had the chance. I’ll be there for karaoke again next week, and I’d love to do a duet with you.

Dondero’s barista with the blonde hair, I have the biggest crush on you, but I’m too shy to ask you out. I see you at shows sometimes but I don’t think we’ve ever been introduced. Let’s change that.

To the Chick-fil-a sandwich I had for lunch, I know I’ll never see you again, but you warmed

my heart on a cold, rainy Mon-day. I’ll never forget you </3

Sometimes I wonder if you still think of me and all the time we spent laying on the quad talking for hours last year. I wish you hadn’t moved off campus so I could still have an excuse to go to dinner with you at the dining hall every night. I would love to get together again soon.

I’m not sure if you’re interested or not, but you delivered our pizza from Papa John’s. We in-vited you to eat it with us, and I could tell you wanted to. I’ve been ordering pizzas nonstop trying to get you back over here. Hit me up next time if you’re my delivery guy.
