St. Simons Island officials crack down on Frat Beach

Each year, Project Safe’s Groovy Nights fundrais-er brings together money-raising and dancing to cre-ate an annual party filled with music, good times and a good cause. For this year’s edition of the fundraiser, however, Project Safe plans to shake things up with a new theme and venue, while keeping the same funky fresh energy veterans of the event have come to love.

The 14th Annual Groovy Nights: Battle of the Decades will take place at the 40 Watt Club on Satur-

day, Aug. 29, with hopes that the event’s transforma-tion will pique the interest of charitable Athenians.

“We’re hoping people will really enjoy the change of pace and the friendly competition,” said April Byrne, Project Safe’s community involvement and volunteer coordinator.

Attendees are invited to dress up in their favorite ’70s or ’80s gear and dance the night away to mash-ups of iconic tunes from both decades. The club will also be looping clips from famous ’70s and ’80s mov-ies, television shows and music videos throughout the night, keeping both a nostalgic and competitive

vibe alive throughout the night.“We’re even going to try and get the bartenders

to participate in like a clash of the decades behind the bar,” Byrne said.

Partygoers will be encouraged to explore a photo booth, a free Henna tattoo station and multiple VIP lounges.

Various local restaurants, including Taziki’s, Bar-beritos and Marti’s at Midday, will provide appetizers and finger food for the event.

A mob of University of Georgia students will descend upon St. Simons Island on Oct. 30 to partake in the time-honored tradition of “Frat Beach” — the party that takes place the day before the highly anticipated football game against the University of Florida.

But this year, students will be greet-ed with a less warm welcome from the area’s police, according to a letter from Glynn County released Wednesday.

“The law enforcement this year is probably triple what it’s been in the past,” said Bill Brunson, Glynn County commissioner.

The Glynn County Board of Com-missioners voted unanimously Aug. 20 to approve a letter to be sent to col-leges, informing students of the beefed up law enforcement the county will bring out this year.

“The county is taking strong en-forcement actions to curtail and elim-inate all unlawful behavior associated with this event in order to protect the health and welfare of both citizens and visitors,” the letter reads.

The changes include a zero toler-ance policy on underage drinking, dis-

orderly conduct and littering. Law enforcement will include offi-

cers from the Glynn County Police and Sheriff’s Office, the Brunswick Police Department, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the Board of Edu-cation Police and Georgia State Patrol.

The local hospital will set up a tent on site to deal with issues related to alcohol consumption and to provide medical clearance for the people who are arrested.

“They’re probably going to be treated at the medical station and then

they’ll likely be taken to jail,” Brunson said.

The police will also bring comput-ers to validate ages for those without IDs.

Driving checkpoints will be set up to arrest impaired drivers, and the County Magistrate Judge will be kept available for the timely processing of those arrested.

“We hope he has a boring day,” Brunson said.

Brunson said county officials hope the new policy will serve as a deterrent to students planning to drink illegally on the beach.

“We just felt like we needed to take a stand,” said Brunson, chairman of the committee that drafted the letter. “We just felt like, based on past years, we just could not turn a blind eye. We had to do something.”

New rules for UGAUGA will be responsible for educat-

ing its students about the changes to Frat Beach this year, said Stan Jackson, director of student affairs communica-tions.

“The activities on St. Simons are not a university activity,” Jackson said. “The Board of Commissioners are let-

ting us know and we’re supporting them by communicating those changes to the students, for the benefit of the students.”

He said the term “Frat Beach” does not accurately describe the event’s par-ticipants.

“The term ‘Frat Beach’ itself is a misnomer because it’s not just students from Greek Life, or UGA students or even college students that are down there,” Jackson said.

The Student Government Associa-tion sent an emailed statement to stu-dents Wednesday informing them of the changes in case they intend to travel to St. Simons for their fall break.

“We desire for each of you to have a safe and enjoyable break wherever you go,” the email statement reads. “Also, please make an effort to keep these communities clean, stay safe and smart, and remember you are representing UGA.”

Senior Shannon Caps said she has seen this kind of threat from Glynn County before. But this time, she’s tak-ing it seriously.

“Every year they say the police force will be increased and I think this

Johnelle Simpson was elected uncontested to be this year’s president of the University of Georgia’s Student Government Association.

The Red & Black conducted a five-minute inter-view with Simpson to find out what he has in store for SGA this month.

The Red & Black: What are you most excited about, step-ping into your first year as SGA president?

Johnelle Simpson: I’m most excited about work-ing for all students. In [the Terry College of Business], I was more focused on the students in Terry and their needs, but now I’m changing my focus. I want to be that student that students know they can come to for anything.

R&B: What are your duties specifically as president?JS: My main duties are to be the voice of the stu-

dents at UGA and also the Student Government As-sociation and to express the best interest of all the students whenever asked. I also serve as the chief offi-cer of the organization.

R&B: Do you plan on making any changes specifically to SGA?

JS: We’ve already made those changes. I think we’re the first SGA administration in history to ap-

point all of our senators before actual senate starts. In the past, the seats were filled in August or September, and you would not have a full senate until October. Right now, we have a full senate. We did that in the spring so that way when we came in in the fall, all of the senators could go through the senate retreat to-gether.

R&B: How is SGA effectively reaching students, especially with the amount of students at UGA?

JS: We have a great director of communications this year and an executive secretary. They are really good with social media and reaching out to people. SGA will be proactive instead of reactive. Usually, whenever I am not doing SGA stuff, I go and speak to organizations.

We have plans to go to the different fraternities and sororities and let them know what is going on around campus. I spoke with the Black Affairs Coun-cil. I was on a panel for some incoming students. That was an opportunity for me to tell students what is go-ing on on campus.

I was able to learn that students feel like there is a lack of security on campus during the day time as far as surveillance, which I don’t foresee any increase of cameras around campus. But now I think students should know that it is necessary to watch their stuff. We plan to go out and hear from people.

I want students to know that I am approachable and that I love my job.

CRIME BLOTTERMultiple rapes reported

A woman was raped around 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 19 after a man offered her a ride because she was walking in the rain.

Once in the car, the man asked if she would go back to his place, but she told him to drop her off at her residence instead.

He did drive her to her residence, but before she got out of the car, he raped her in his burgundy van. She described the subject as a black male who was wearing a yellow, black and green shirt with black jeans. He also had a gold tooth.

Two other rapes were also reported, one to UGAPD and one to ACCPD.

Courtney Coard was arrested for DUI early Satur-day morning.

Coard was suspended from the team, which kept him off the field for Georgia’s intrasquad scrimmage Saturday at Sanford Stadium.

Coard was booked at 4:31 a.m on charges in-cluding DUI and improper driving and was re-leased on a $2,000 bond.

Coard is in his first year at Georgia. His résumé includes coaching the defensive line at North Car-olina A&T and coaching defensive ends at Gram-bling State. Coard played defensive tackle for North Carolina-Central from 2004 to 2007.

Student stabbed at Double BarrelA University of Georgia student was arrested

after stabbing another student on Tuesday in a bar downtown.

An aggravated assault was reported at the bar Double Barrel on East Broad Street at 2:44 a.m., according to an Athens-Clarke County police re-port.

The victim, a 19-year-old student at UGA, was taken to the Athens Regional Medical Center emergency room with possible stab wounds inflict-ed by Robert Williams, another 19-year-old student at the university.

Williams was arrested and charged with aggra-vated assault, according to the report.

Woman steals taco ingredients A 22-year-old woman was barred from the Kroger on College Station Road on Thursday after shop-lifting ingredients for tacos.

The woman was described by the responding officer as wearing a “Pocahontas/Native Ameri-can-type outfit.” She was found stuffing ground chuck beef, beef grinds, sour cream, cheese, tortilla shells, salsa and taco shells in her purse.

Athens-Clarke County assistant police chief Carter Greene said he could not understand why officer Jona-than Fraser lied in his police report when Fraser knew the video from his body camera — which showed him beating a University of Georgia student — would be re-viewed.

“I don’t know what his thinking was,” Greene said. “It doesn’t [make sense], because it’s there and it’s all recorded.”

Fraser was later charged with aggravated assault and violating his oath. The video demonstrates the role of body cameras in holding police officers accountable, and Greene said the cameras functioned well in this in-cident.

“And hundreds and hundreds of others besides that,” Greene said. “We get thousands of open records requests annually, and I’m expecting it’s probably go-ing to go up with the video recording from body cam-eras.”

A new budget was approved over the summer to allow $100,000 to fund the upkeep of Athens-Clarke

County police body cameras in the 2016 fiscal year. According to the ACC FY16 budget, $50,000 will fund annual data storage and maintenance for the 142 offi-cer-worn cameras, and $50,000 will provide a source for future camera replacements.

Despite the additional funding, Josh Watkins, who works for the police department and who Greene re-ferred to as the “Money Man,” said the department may need additional funding in the future.

“[The cameras] accurately depict the officer’s ac-tions as well as the actions of the individual that he’s interacting with,” Greene said. “It’s very important to have for court as well as for the complaints that we get on our officers frequently ... And it’s the expectation of society at this point.”

Body cameras are provided for all uniform patrol officers, downtown patrol officers, traffic units and school resource officers. Detectives and executive per-sonnel do not have cameras.

Officers must turn on the cameras, which then back up 30 seconds and start saving video.

Greene said the policy has been effective but not foolproof.

“We had an officer that got into a struggle arresting

somebody, and in the struggle the camera turned off,” he said. “[The officer] realized it after he had made the arrest and immediately turned it back on after he had him detained.”

Greene said a policy exists in case the department feels like an officer made a flagrant violation, such as purposely not recording an incident.

Greene said he hopes that the body cameras will do more than just hold police officers accountable.

“We’ve always been very transparent,” he said. “We’re not going to try and hide anything and we hope that knowing that you’re being recorded in your inter-actions with a police officer will help to improve that relationship.”

Athens police allocate $100,000 for body cameras

➤ From Page A1year it’s true,” said the finance ma-

jor from Alpharetta.Caps has already reserved a room at

a hotel in Glynn County for her group, and she said the announced changes will not affect her plans.

Even though the county seems to be attempting to deter students from com-ing, Caps said the economic incentive for businesses to encourage participation in Frat Beach remains.

“In the past when I’ve gone, they’ve had signs that say ‘Welcome UGA stu-dents,’” she said. “I know it brings in so much money for their economy.”

Peyton Lipecky said the changes won’t affect her plans if she decides to go.

“I’d still go,” said the freshman fi-nance and international business ma-jor from Augusta. “A lot of people will be a lot more cautious if they are going. It might even just be an empty threat because they hope people will then be more cautious.”

Tons of trashFor many locals on St. Simons Is-

land, Frat Beach goes beyond drunk col-lege students taking over for a day.

Katy Smith, interim associate direc-

tor of UGA’s Marine Extension service in St. Simons, said the huge amounts of trash accumulated during the weekend create a bigger problem.

In 2014, volunteers and Glynn Coun-ty staff collected 27,000 pounds of litter from the beaches, parks and parking lots over the three-day weekend. In 2013, they collected 21,000 pounds of trash.

Smith, a UGA alumna, works daily to educate the community about the environmental impact of trash going into the ocean. Yet she said that every year the county allows thousands of students to come and trash the beach.

But she said the revenue the event brings into the business community has been a driving force to avoid crack-ing down on the illegal activities that go on.

Forest Brown, owner of Brogan’s on the St. Simons Pier, said crowds pack his restaurant during the Geor-gia-Florida weekend every year.

“The event comes at a great time, because things slow down after the summer,” Brown said. “We do as much in a whole week of those slow days as we do in the Georgia-Florida week-end.”

He said he understands why the law enforcement would be increased, as some visitors will behave irrespon-

sibly and party too hard.“But I hope [the police] don’t over-

react, because mostly it’s just a lot of folks hoping to have a good time,” he said.

Brunson said the goal will not be to make a large number of arrests.

“This will be a failure if we wind up arresting 200 or 300 kids,” he said. “That’s not what we want to do.”

He said he still hopes students will come to St. Simons before the game on Oct. 31.

“But we’ve just got to put some brakes on this Frat Beach,” he said. “The last thing we want is a Panama City, [Florida], with Fox News showing up talking about guns, heroin and rape,” he said. “We’re just not going to have that.”

St. Simons Island: An ongoing fight to preserve an identity outside of ‘Frat Beach’

OUR TAKE

It was senior year of high school when I was transplanted from the dry deserts of the West to live with my very southern grandmother

on St. Simons Island. Luckily for me, St. Simons Island has always felt like home. It’s where I could eat fresh shrimp, stay up all night bonding with my grandmother and spend a whole day relaxing by the ocean. East Beach, the Coast Guard Sta-tion or the pier — it didn’t matter what part of the beach — I was in paradise. If you’re not from St. Simons, you’ve probably only heard of one beach on the island — Frat Beach. This is a day of spirited debauchery that makes locals want to call their realtor. It’s a day I, as a resident, feel divided about.

The name seems blasphemous to those who grew up on the island. It seems exclusive; after all, it’s not only Greeks participating in the Georgia/Florida tailgate, right? Anyone think of calling it College Beach, Dawg Beach or how about, I don’t know, East Beach? Or are overindulgent shenani-

gans so closely related to Greek life that there was no avoiding the new name, a name that excludes those who call that beach their home. With that logic, let’s rename all the bars downtown to Greek letters.

On the other hand, it’s a fun event that brings tons of business to the area in hotel revenue, liquor sales and food purchases. Even when completely sober, watching everyone stumble in ridiculous Hal-loween costumes is pretty amusing. Sure, they’re puking on my childhood playground, but even I can admit it’s one heck of a party. It does seem that lo-cals should be able to put up with one loud, rowdy day out of the year that commandeers the beach but also brings a bump in the St. Simons economy.

But, more important than the conflict between locals and students, between partying Greeks and sightseeing residents, there is the trash issue. During the Frat Beach festivities, when hundreds of intoxicated people stagger through the sand, an

incomprehensible amount of stuff gets left behind. My brother likes to brag about how much free stuff he scores afterward — left-behind sunglasses, cool-ers, chairs and umbrellas. Locals become enraged about the trash issue and feel like we are destroy-ing their beach. The problem is we don’t know how much of that junk is going into the ocean, causing potentially catastrophic ecological damage that will make Frat Beach unusable for both locals and partygoers.

The thing is, I don’t think Frat Beach is going anywhere. I’ll bet “Frat Beach ’15” tank tops have already been made. So the only advice that I, as one who calls St. Simons home, have for students — Greek or not — is to pick up your garbage so that we can keep having East or Frat Beach far into the future.

James Harrison — a legendarily brutal former NFL linebacker — is also in his spare time a social advo-cate for hard work and accomplishment? After his 6 and 8-year-old sons received participation trophies at school, Harrison posted on Instagram expressing his disdain for the awards and how he would return them until his sons “earn a real trophy.” Whether you see his post as condescending or not, he makes a very strong statement against the celebration of mediocrity.

Scott Sletten, CEO of JDS Industries, a multi-mil-lion dollar trophy manufacturing company, said, “But with these younger kids, who most of these things are for, it’s just encouraging that participation. Is there anything wrong with giving a medal or a token that says, ‘Good job. You participated. You did something good?’”

And on the surface, Sletten is correct. An inani-mate object given to a child to symbolize participation and achievement should only further encourage kids to continue doing what they are doing. In real life though, these trophies make very little impact. Hence, there are multiple boxes of participation awards collecting dust in my parents’ attic. They definitely weren’t profound enough in my life to merit coming to college.

The issue at hand really has nothing to do with the hunks of cheap metal passed on as rewards; it all revolves around inspiration. We want our kids to be in-spired to continue to play sports, do well in school and excel in everything they do. Even when they don’t win, we don’t want them to be discouraged, but overcom-pensating for this can have very negative consequenc-es.

For example, I used to referee youth soccer during high school and the league I worked for had some questionable rules surrounding yellow and red cards — which are given to punish fouls under FIFA rules.

In an effort to avoid discouraging young players from dropping the sport in favor of others, referees were not allowed to card anyone under 12 years old no matter what offense they committed.

Usually, this wasn’t a big deal, but in one U-10 game I refereed, I saw a girl cock her elbow back and swing her entire body at another player trying to elbow her in the face. Thankfully she missed and somersault-ed off to the side, but I immediately blew my whistle at the flagrantly attempted foul. Normally, this would warrant a red card and an immediate expelling from play. However, since I was instructed not to give cards, I instead went up to the coach and told him to take her out or else I would card him for not controlling his players — which was within my power to do.

Now this is an admittedly extreme case, but the soccer complex’s motives were very similar to that of participation trophies: encouragement. In an effort to avoid discouraging young players who would receive cards and miss playing time for illegal fouls, some play-ers used the policy as a buffer to be more ruthless with little consequence.

That doesn’t mean trophies will encourage your sons or daughters to try to knock out other kids, but it doesn’t encourage personal growth in a healthy man-ner. Rather, it simply masks ineptitude with a shiny ribbon.

The real question here isn’t if participation tro-phies and special rules used to motivate are good or bad; it’s whether these things are more useless or harmful. Either way, neither answer sounds worthy of praise or a blue ribbon itself.

The Middle East is the most volatile region in the world and, until recently, was engaged in a nuclear arms race. That is the most important fact to bear in mind re-garding the Iran deal under review by Congress.

The arms race consisted of Iran developing nuclear weapons in a region where the country is a domi-nant force. This development right-ly concerned Iran’s enemies Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who swore that they would not be left behind. Be-cause the Middle East also contains more than half the planet’s supply of crude oil, according to OPEC.org, a nuclear war in the area would have worldwide consequences.

Severe economic sanctions were imposed on Iran to force it to give up its nuclear ambitions, start-ing with the second Bush admin-istration in 2005 and strengthened during Obama’s first term. These sanctions were supported by the world’s leading nuclear powers Chi-na, France, the U.K., the U.S. and Russia, in addition to the E.U. and Germany, all united by the fear of a nuclear Iran. By 2013, the Iranians were forced to the negotiating table to find relief from heavy sanctions. The results of the following 20 months of negotiation are now be-ing discussed.

The deal implements a variety of measures to prevent Iran from continuing its nuclear program. Critics of the deal are primarily

worried about two issues: Iran will cheat and use these funds to further destabilize the Middle East.

To the first point, the deal gives the international commission, made up of the aforementioned powers, unprecedented access to Iran’s nuclear program. Even if they try to cheat, which will likely happen, we will know almost immediately due to the structure of the inspection process, which treats delays as de facto admissions of guilt.

In addition, cheating by Iran will cause the stringent sanctions to go back into effect. Because these same sanctions brought Iran to the negotiating table in the first place, they are a strong incentive not to deviate from the deal.

As for the second point, Iran will use its funds to destabilize the Middle East. The crucial point with this is regional destabilization with conventional weapons is infinitely preferable to worldwide destabiliza-tion with nuclear weapons.

The crux of this deal is that it halts the dangerous arms race go-ing on in the Middle East. It does so for 10-15 years and without starting a war in the region. The diplomats who put together the deal are also

banking on another variable: Iran’s middle class.

Iran is run by elderly hardlin-ers. These men remember the 1979 Iranian Revolution, hate the West and most grew up in poverty. In contrast, the Iranian youth grew up in or with the option of joining the middle class. They also, for the most part, don’t hate the Western World.

Until the deal is approved, the Iranian youth remains isolat-ed by international sanctions. In lifting those, the deal allows them to integrate with the international community. Such integration would improve Iran’s relations with nearly every country in the world. Once this generation rises to power, in the span of say, 10 or 15 years, it has the opportunity to shirk the hatred and dogma of this generation. It will only do so if it has a good view of the rest of the world, something the deal will help to foster.

Finally, it is worth noting that Iran will be stopped if it tries to develop nuclear weapons with or without the deal. All the agreement does is give the country a chance to self-correct peacefully. If it works, it works in a big way. If not, the United States and its allies lose nothing. All we can lose is face by not passing this deal.

The state of Geor-gia fell in the middle of the spectrum for high-est weed prices in a re-cent study conducted by a University of Georgia student on the prices of cannabis per state.

Mingshu Wang, a ge-ography graduate stu-dent from Guilin, China, studied how the price of marijuana varies across the United States. He found that the states with the most expensive cannabis were the ones in which sale and posses-sion is illegal. Cannabis is cheaper in states that have legalized the drug.

“This study further illustrates to me how im-portant it is to legalize and regulate cannabis,” said Michael Sandler, a junior international af-fairs major from Atlanta. “This sheds light on the fact that more money as a result of high cannabis prices is going to a black, illegal market.”

Georgia legalized medical marijuana in April, allowing people who suffer from specif-ic illnesses to use the drug within state lines if they’ve received permis-sion from their doctors. But cultivating mari-juana remains illegal in Georgia, meaning pa-tients have to travel to states where it is legal to get the drug.

Wang revealed in his article that the five states with the lowest prices are Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado and

Mississippi. North Da-kota, South Dakota, Ver-mont, Virginia and Iowa had the highest cannabis prices.

Among the top five states with the highest prices, Vermont is the only one where posses-sion has been decrimi-nalized. The state allows marijuana to be sold le-gally for medical purpos-es.

Maddie Smith, a freshman business ma-jor from Danville, Cali-fornia, said she expects the prices to change as legalization of marijuana becomes more common nationwide.

“I’m actually from California, where I know that a lot of people have medical marijuana cards,” she said. “So I’m not surprised that the price was lower there.”

Wang also looked at

the evolution and legal-ization of cannabis in the U.S.

“I come from Chi-na, and we’re a country where cannabis-related usage is totally illegal no matter what kind of usage, whether medi-

cal or not,” Wang said. “From a foreigner’s perspective, it interests me. Also, in the States during the past 40 years, the legalization of cannabis has kind of been a gradual move-ment, which is so differ-ent than my country.”

Contrary to the belief that colleges are dangerous places to be, campus crime has gone down nationally by 25 percent since 2001.

Bob Taylor, public affairs representative for the University of Georgia Police Department, said this is also the case for UGA, with the exceptions of rape and sexual assault.

“In general, it is true that campus crime has de-creased, and statistics on the UGAPD’s web page bear this out,” Taylor said. “But specifically, sexual as-sault and reports of rape have increased.”

Though reports of rape and sexual assault have risen in the past few years, UGAPD data does not show that overall campus crime has gone down.

The most recent annual data shows that in 2014, the total amount of actual offenses was 1,290. In 2013 that number was 1,146.

Even eight years ago, there were 1,241 actual of-fenses, according to UGAPD’s online data.

This is because there were heightened reports of rape in just one year. In 2013, there were six rapes and seven sexual batteries reported, whereas in 2014, 71 rapes and 14 sexual batteries were reported.

From January to August 2015, there have been 29 reports of rape or sexual battery — 10 of those occur-ring over the summer.

Sally Sheppard, executive director of the North Georgia Cottage, a community sexual assault pre-vention resource, said there were 21 reports of rape brought to the group’s attention since May. This is no different than the numbers of previous summers, though this number goes up during the fall and spring semesters.

“As is true of sexual assaults in general, the ma-jority — over 95 percent — of these assaults were non-stranger assaults,” Sheppard said. “Most, but not all, were women. About 20 percent are male.”

College campuses across the country have seen a spike in rape reports. The first weeks of the fall se-mester are called the “Red Zone” period because of the increase in sexual assaults on college campuses.

Drug arrests made by campus police have also increased on campuses nationwide, and Taylor said

UGA has seen this trend as well.“The UGAPD has made some drug arrests re-

cently,” Taylor said. “These are responsive to area complaints and relative to the population.”

In 2006, UGAPD made 41 drug arrests, which was doubled by 2013 when they made 84 drug ar-rests. That number went down slightly in 2014 with 68 drug arrests.

However, most campuses have seen an overall decrease in arrests and so has UGA.

The most recent UGAPD data shows that 2014 had 476 arrests compared to 2013’s 527 arrests. Ar-rests have significantly gone down since 2008, when there were a total number of 737 arrests, the highest number in the last nine years.

“Partnership is the key in keeping crime low on campus,” Taylor said. “The UGAPD needs the com-munity’s assistance. With particular regard to stu-dent safety, the UGAPD encourages students to al-ways be aware of their surroundings, stay informed and party responsibly.”

Film series tackles civil rights issues

University of Georgia assistant professor Scott Nesbit directs a discussion fol-lowing the first screening of the “Created Equal” film series. TIMOTHY DEWITT/Staff

BY KALLI DRAKE @kalliausten

The United States celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act on Aug. 6. The landmark legislation was enacted during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, but some say civil rights are still a prevalent issue.

“This is an important topic within our community and within our country. The Civil Rights Movement is ongoing,” said Katherine Crapo, program coordina-tor for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Georgia.

To preserve the history of the Civil Rights Movement, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute will offer a four-film series called “Created Equal,” hosted at the Athens-Clarke County Library. After each screening, a UGA professor will lead a discussion about the film and the topics it covered.

“Our goal is to help continue the conversation on the long Civil Rights Move-ment. Athens has a rich history, amazing stories and amazing people,” Crapo said.

The first film, “The Abolitionists,” was shown less than two weeks ago. The three-hour movie reenacts the stories of five leaders who fought to end slavery, in-cluding William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Beecher Stowe. About 40 people attended the screening, a number The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute hopes to increase for the next three films.

“The discussion was excellent. There was a lot of thoughtful conversation among participants and tremendous interest in the remaining three films,” Krapo said.

Many UGA students are passionate about the Civil Rights Movement and commend the “Created Equal” film series.

“I think it is crucial that a dialogue on civil rights continue in this country, and I applaud the efforts of this series in facilitating that,” said Ryan Jones, a sophomore political science and sociology major from Clarksville, Tennessee.

Jones said he feels conversations should include reflection on the country’s civil rights history, how much progress has been made and how much progress is yet to be made.

“The tragedies you see on the news from Tamir Rice to Michael Brown to Eric Garner to Freddie Gray are not a string of isolated incidents,” Jones said. “Rather, they are a reminder of the sharp discrimination black Americans face at the hands of law enforcement.”

Many students believe discrimination and racism still exist and want this to change.

“We didn’t leave all of that back in the ’60s. The issue still presents itself in many ways,” said Mary Beth Garrett, a sophomore photography major from Co-lumbus.

The festival’s three remaining films aim to continue these conversations. The

second film, “Slavery by Another Name,” is a documentary based on Douglas Blackmon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name. Showing this week-end, the movie will look into the labor system that forced Southern black males to be sold into unpaid work. The film contains interviews with the descendants of victims who were abused and exposed to deadly working conditions. Blackmon himself will lead the discussion.

The third documentary, “Freedom Riders,” will show Sept. 12. The film highlights the 1961 Freedom Rides, where white and black activists encountered violence while riding buses throughout the Deep South, testing a Supreme Court ruling that desegregated buses. UGA English professor and co-director of the Civil Rights Digital Library, Barbara McCaskill, will lead the post-screening dis-cussion.

The final film, “The Loving Story,” documents interviews with Mildred and Richard Loving who were arrested for being an interracial married couple. The Supreme Court battle that ensued overturned laws banning interracial marriag-es. Dr. Robert Pratt, history professor and writer on the case, will lead the Oct. 12 discussion, closing out the festival with a conversation aimed at addressing civil rights issues.

“We will be unable to make positive changes if people are not aware of the severity of the problem,” Garrett said.

GROOVY NIGHTS: ‘Battle of the Decades’ dance party doubles as fundraiserThe event will also host a costume contest

judged by DJ LaDarius Thomas and emcee Eliza Pitts.

Bragging rights will be bestowed upon guests with the best costumes, with award titles like “Best Outta Sight or Like Totally Tubular Hair,” “Best Funky or Rad Footwear” and “Best Groovy or Gnarly Costume” up for grabs.

“Every year, my favorite part is seeing all the cra-zy costumes people come up with,” Byrne said. “Last year there was group that came painted up like the members of KISS. They looked like the real thing.”

Byrne admits that she herself probably won’t be donning the most elaborate of costumes, but she is excited to dress up nonetheless.

“This is the kind of event where if you don’t wear a costume, you’ll definitely feel out of place,” Byrne said.

Admission costs $25, and the event is for ages 21 and up. Tickets can be purchased on the Project Safe website until the night of the event and will be sold at the door the day of. Ninety percent of all proceeds will go toward maintaining Project Safe’s services for victims of domestic violence, from the organization’s

one-on-one counseling and mentoring programs to expanding its 24-hour hotlines and emergency shel-ters.

While Groovy Nights has been held at the Classic Center in years past, traditionally sticking to a strict ’70s only approach, Byrne hopes that the changes this year will make for a more lively night.

“We want it to be more of a dance party,” Byrne said. “This year, there’s not going to be any of the tables that groups can usually purchase to have a place to sit down. We want to see people on their feet dancing and having a good time.”

A 1970s issue of The Red & Black depicts some of the decade’s popular fashions, many of which will be on display at “Battle of the Decades.” TAYLOR CARPENTER/Staff

Athens Transit routes added to UGA app

Cheap tricks: 5 ways to save money with a student IDBY CASIE WILSON

@casiedwilson

Since college students often have the reputation of being chronically short on cash, many national and local businesses offer students special rates and discounts.

With a new semester underway and many stu-dents struggling to budget the paychecks they raked in at their summer jobs, here’s a list of some of the best deals only available to college students.

Amazon PrimeWhether you need that one last textbook for a

class, a new pair of rain boots or even a laptop, Am-azon Prime can get you what you need in as little as a couple of days. Signing up for Amazon Prime with a student email address will get you free two-day shipping for six months, and after that you can keep the Prime membership for 50 percent off.

Spotify PremiumFor music streaming fans that are sick of exces-

sive data usage or having to listen to Fuze’s Mr. T commercial every few songs, Spotify offers a 50 per-cent discount on premium memberships for one year if you register with your university email address. This way, you can get all the interruption-free tunes that you want, at half the cost of what non-students pay.

Movie Theaters Athens offers plenty of venues for student movie

buffs looking to watch on a budget. From the Tate Theater’s $1 screenings for students to the Lexing-ton Road Carmike’s $3 discount on matinee shows, to Beechwood Cinema’s special student pricing for evening shows, deals can be found in almost every theater in town.

The New York TimesCollege is the first time that it becomes import-

ant to stay informed. Making the decision to stay plugged in with national and global news becomes much easier when that decision comes at a discount. The New York Times offers students a free four-week digital subscription, and after that the price remains at 50 percent off the normal rate. All you have to do is use your student email when signing up and you can get your news on a budget.

Banana Republic If you’re ever in need of some new threads, the

Banana Republic on the Oconee Connector offers a 10 percent discount on any item in the store if you flash your student ID card at the register. This includes discounted items as well as articles that are already on sale.

Students at the University of Georgia no longer have to play the guessing game when waiting for an Athens Transit bus to come pick them up and take them back to their apart-ments, as a live tracking feature for Athens Transit was recently added to the UGA mobile application.

There has been a spike in app downloads since the addition of the routes was announced. As of press time, the UGA mobile app has more than 5,000 downloads through the Google Play Store alone.

The UGA mobile app was original-ly released in April 2013 after the idea was proposed by the Student Gov-ernment Association. Live tracking of

University Transit buses became the app’s most popular feature, so SGA proposed adding Athens Transit live tracking as well.

“With student housing rapidly ex-panding across Athens and more stu-dents using Athens Transit services, it made sense to include the Athens Transit bus tracker on the UGA mo-bile app,” said SGA President Johnelle Simpson in a press release.

Butch McDuffie, director of Ath-ens Transit, said about one million student trips are conducted each year by Athens Transit, with Route 12 along Riverbend Road and Route 14 along South Milledge Avenue being the most popular student routes.

“We do a lot of business with students, and it’s great for us and the students, and great for the university

as well, which doesn’t have enough parking spaces to accommodate everyone if they all drove to campus,” McDuffie said.

Per a long-standing agreement between the university and the Ath-ens-Clarke County government, all UGA students, faculty and staff can ride Athens Transit buses at no charge using their UGA ID card.

“It’s very convenient for travel on and off campus. It makes me feel more a part of the Athens-Clarke County community and not just of UGA,” said Daniel Bignault, a junior digital broadcast journalism major from Law-renceville.

McDuffie said Athens Transit worked with the Enterprise Informa-tion Technology Services department at the university for roughly eight months to bring the Athens Transit live tracking, which was already avail-able on the Athens Transit website, to the mobile app.

“It was a lot of work of getting the data from Athens Transit and making sure it would work on the mobile app, as well as working with SGA to keep them updated about the progress,” said Kerri Testement, senior public relations coordinator at the EITS

department. The University Transit and

Athens Transit bus tracking systems are separate from each other on the UGA mobile app, but McDuffie said he hopes to combine the two systems in the future so students can see all routes from both transit systems at the same time.

“Some people will never ride Athens Transit, some people will never ride University Transit,” McDuffie said. “But for those that use both, it could be a very helpful function in the app.”

Testement said the UGA app is one of the most comprehensive mobile apps for a university in the United States, encapsulating bus routes, din-ing hall menus and capacity, on-cam-pus radio and sports updates and scores.

“The UGA mobile app has been an outstanding example of the univer-sity listening to the needs of students and making services they requested available on the app,” said Timothy Chester, vice president for information technology, in a press release.

Students can download the UGA app for free in both the App Store and the Google Play Store.

Students board an Athens Transit bus at the Tate Student Center stop on Aug. 25, 2015. The city bus routes have been added to the UGA app. EMILY SELBY/Staff

BY SARAH K. SPENCER@sarah_k_spence

If everything goes perfect-ly between a running back and offensive lineman, the two will never touch.

Not a handoff, not a com-pleted pass, not a lateral, not a shotgun snap exchanged. Just a seam created, then hit. Fast.

Tailbacks Nick Chubb, Keith Marshall and A.J. Tur-man echo the same mantra of the offensive line: “Without them, we’re nothing.”

The offensive line — which consists of veterans in tackles John Theus and Kolton Hous-ton, potential centers Brandon Kublanow and Hunter Long and guard Greg Pyke — has a tight bond with the running backs. Considering Georgia has no stability at quarterback at this point in fall camp, this bond becomes all the more im-portant on the field.

Trust, respect and talent are obvious components to this relationship. But what you can’t see from behind a face-mask is how players who have little direct interaction on the field are tight-knit off of it.

Whether playing NCAA Football — the video game — during downtime, rooming together or Long and transfer quarterback Greyson Lambert transforming two projectors into a home theater and invit-ing the offense over during an off-week before camp, they’ve formed close friendships.

“We love hanging out with those guys,” Pyke said. “And I think they like hanging out with us, because we’re kind of the offensive linemen, we’re like the protectors, so I think we kind of have that relation-ship on and off the field.”

Off the field, the group gets

to be less serious and is often more outgoing with each other than they are in front of others.

Last season, Chubb rushed for 266 yards and two touch-downs on his way to becom-ing the MVP of Georgia’s 37-14 thrashing of Louisville in the Belk Bowl. When he was pre-

sented the trophy and asked to give a postgame speech, he said two words.

“Go Dawgs.”Kublanow said this is his

funniest Chubb memory, be-cause Chubb is usually talk-ative and always laughing.

Should running backs like

Chubb never take advantage of seams created for them, offen-sive linemen like Kublanow are left standing there awkwardly, hugging opponents on the line of scrimmage — a wasted ef-fort. If offensive linemen don’t block properly, running backs get stuffed or tackled for a loss.

According to tailback Brendan Douglas, who rushed for 230 yards and two touch-downs last season, he doesn’t experience this fear because of the players in front of him.

BY JUSTIN HUBBARD@JHubb93

It is early in Terry Godwin’s career, but his fall camp roommate Clay Johnson calls him perfect.

Johnson was speaking more about him as a room-mate but also raved about Godwin’s ability.

“I was his roommate during camp and I was kind of helping guide him along, understanding what he needs to do. Not just necessarily his route on the plays, but the concept,” Johnson said. “And he is defi-nitely catching along and learning.”

Godwin, a wide receiver of Hogansville is having a strong fall camp, according to many of his teammates. Junior receiver Reggie Davis rattled off a couple ele-ments of Godwin’s game that are particularly impres-sive to him.

“I like watching Terry play,” Davis said. “He has great hands, can run routes really good and he’s way ahead of the way that you expect the freshmen to be coming in.”

When Godwin committed to Georgia, it was un-clear if he would play offense or defense, given that he played a considerable amount of time on both sides of the ball in high school. Godwin has impressed enough that he’s more than likely set at receiver.

That doesn’t mean he won’t still get to move around a bit, though. Davis said offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer’s system calls for fluidity at re-ceiver, meaning a receiver could line up on the outside for one particular play then move to the slot for the next play.

Johnnson said Godwin is good enough that the coaches don’t hesitate to move him outside.

“Right now, I would say probably in the slot, but they’re not afraid to throw him out wide and run a play or two out there,” Johnson said.

The coaches’ faith in Godwin is supported by his impeccable ability to catch a football. At times, it seems like all the quarterbacks have to do is get the ball within reaching distance and Godwin is going to make the catch.

His speed is noticeable, too. Godwin often ap-pears to be one of the fastest receivers when the group runs various routes during practice. His cuts and foot-work stand out from most of the others.

That combination of speed and catching ability makes Davis think Godwin will excel as a receiver de-spite his smaller stature.

“He’s definitely a quick little guy, so he can defi-nitely use his speed or hands and get away from things,” Davis said.

Godwin’s hands were on full display last week. Ju-nior quarterback Faton Bauta threw a pass that was behind Godwin. Godwin turned — in stride — reached down with one hand, grabbed the football and turned back into his natural running motion. He made the difficult catch look routine.

Though media members were taken aback by the catch, Johnson said it was just business as usual for Godwin.

“Honestly, it didn’t surprise me,” Johnson said. “I’ve seen him make catches like that before, so it’s awesome to see someone succeed like that, but it’s not a surprise because he should be making those catches either way.”

Kenneth Towns, a junior receiver, also raved about Godwin’s catching ability. In fact, he said he expects

Godwin to make catches like that during the season.“He’s got great hand-eye coordination, so he’s go-

ing to make a lot of spectacular plays,” Towns said.It may seem early to put so much stock into an

unproven player, but Godwin has done more than enough this fall to merit attention. If he keeps it up, he should get a significant amount of playing time in 2015.

In Atlanta this past weekend, the No. 3 ranked recruit in Georgia by 247Sports.com, Julian Roch-ester, began the season against Tucker High School in the 24th annual Corky Kell Classic. Rochester is a four-star devensive tackle. McEachern won 50-14 over Tucker High School, and they will take a week off before facing Buford High School the first Fri-day in September.

In the same Corky Kell Classic was the five- star wide receiver Kyle Davis, who has yet to sign with any school. He and Archer High School, the No. 12 high school football team per USA Today, beat North Paulding High School 49-21. They take a few weeks off before Grayson High School on September 11.

Ben Cleveland begins the Stephens County High School season against Franklin County High School on Friday. The 6-foot-6, 322-pound offen-sive lineman committed to Georgia last summer.

Defensive end Chauncey Manac of Clinch County High School forced Calhoun High School off the field with a 53-8 loss. The four-star recruit, who signed a letter of intent to Georgia in July of 2014, will face off with Brooks County High School on Friday night.

From Rabun County, Charlie Woerner, the wide receiver who committed this July, comes off of a Hebron Christian Academy scrimmage into a bye week.

Jacob Eason, the five-star quarterback who signed his financial aid paperwork with Georgia on Aug. 21, also has a week off before his and the se-niors’ last hurrah.

In what ways have you seen Georgia’s swimming program change in the last 30 years?

We had a real hard time get-ting anyone to want to come to Georgia because our record didn’t exactly bowl them over and no one had heard of us as coaches. [Head coach] Jack [Bauerle] sent me up to the junior nationals in Syracuse and, after the first day and no one wanted to talk to me about Georgia, I totally went the other direction, and I tried to find the last place swimmer in ev-ery event which was still way better than anyone we had ... to this day we’ve tried real hard, even though we have an ability to continue to re-cruit people that are obviously more talented than that first group that we had. The ones that are the most successful here are the ones that fit that mold if you throw their times out the window.

Who is better at making the swim-mers laugh, you or Bauerle?

I think if you’re talking about laughing because they think it’s corny and stupid, it’s me. And I

think if they’re laughing nervously because they don’t want him to get mad, it’s Jack.

How do you stay enthusiastic at 5 a.m. practices?

I think 5 a.m. is a great time of day. I mean seriously you’ve got this powerful feeling about the rest of the world’s asleep and you’re here and something’s getting accomplished, and then you’ve got so much more free time because you’re going to get home and everybody’s still going to be waking up.

There’s not a lot of other people, nobody’s going to come in and both-er you when you’re running a prac-tice. There’s that certain amount of privacy in everything, and you’ve got a lot more space. I love morning practices. And I like to get up way earlier than that and have a cup of coffee and read the paper and then come over.

Do you have any superstitions?

I really don’t. Sometimes I like to try to create them. I have a hat that I like to wear on the last day of NCAAs. I had a hat that was giv-en to me by some of our distance kids back in probably 2005. I was so proud of that group and so honored

that they gave me something in ap-preciation for being on the team in everything. I like to wear it on the day of the mile, same hat for I don’t know how many years.

If you just won a national championship, what would you have for dinner?

The best dinner I ever had was, we had a big team dinner and we’d won in Indianapolis and I want to say it was 2013. There’s this great Italian place, Buca di Beppo, and there was a team dinner. Way more people showed up at the team din-ner than people had anticipated. By the time Brian Smith, another coach, and I had gotten there, they were pretty much out of food and out of places to sit.

We were very happy to be there and celebrate with the team, but we were starving to death. We were downtown Indianapolis and we were walking back to the hotel and there was a Steak ‘n Shake open. I’ll tell you what, that might have been the best, post-meet meal I ever had. It was just me and Brian sitting there eating cheeseburgers and drinking a milkshake and just reflecting on the season. That was a pretty good meal.

BY ALEX MAKRIDES@Amakrides00

Not everything goes as planned — like the past week for three Georgia golfers.

Senior co-captains Lee McCoy and Sepp Straka, as well as sophomore Zach Healy participated in the 2015 U.S. Amateur Championship. All three had high aspirations to make the round of 64 but only two man-aged to do so.

Healy, who made it to the round of 64 of the 2014 U.S. Amateur Championship, said he just didn’t have the shot to make it back year.

“Olympia Fields is a ball-striker’s course and my strong suit is in my short game,” Healy said. “I didn’t hit it great and I think that kinda caught up to me.”

McCoy and Straka made it to the round of 64 but saw limited success after that.

McCoy placed fourth in stroke play in last week’s tournament and matched up against Southeastern Conference Player of the Year Hunter Stewart in the round of 64.

“You can’t use it as an excuse, but you always want to get a win under your belt in the first round and build some confidence and I haven’t been able to do that,” McCoy said. “The last two years have been bittersweet.”

McCoy fell to Stewart when he went down three strokes with two holes left to play.

Stewart will be McCoy’s Walker Cup teammate in a couple of weeks as will the winner of the tourna-ment, Bryson DeChambeau. The three will be part of a 10-man United States team who will face the U.K. and Ireland.

McCoy’s co-captain Straka made his way to the round of 32. Straka did not bogey during the stroke play portion and tied for eighth place in the 312-man field.

In the round of 64, Straka double-bogeyed the opening hole facing Garrett Rank. Straka continued to focus on making pars and eventually it was Rank

who began to falter. Rank bogeyed holes 14-16, which gave Straka the victory; however, it was Straka who would have trouble with bogeys in the round of 32.

“When I got down, I didn’t stick to my game plan,” Straka said. “I tried to go for more pins. I tried to make some birdies to force so more wins on holes, but ended up making bogeys.”

Straka bogeyed holes four, five, six, eight and nine, double-bogeyed 13 and wound up losing to eventual runner-up Derek Bard.

Although Healy, McCoy and Straka did not play up to their potential, each one was able to take away some positives from the tournament.

Looking back at the tournament, each player found there were facets of their game that could bet-ter Georgia.

One area Healy said he believes will be of great help to him is thinking his way around the golf course.

He said he is able to gauge how he needs to ap-proach each type of golf course and by thinking his way around it, he gives himself the best opportunity for success and sets up the best shot possible.

Healy said this will help him improve his game in the future.

“This will help keep my bad rounds a little bit low-er,” Healy said. “And just taking the experience from playing in big tournaments like this. If you get back once, you want to get back again and I have been back twice.”

McCoy’s last couple of years in the U.S Amateur Championship have been heartbreaking, but he has been able to play in large international tournaments such as the Walker Cup, which begins on Sept. 12.

He is able to teach and pass on his skills to some of Georgia’s younger players because he has com-peted at the highest level of amateur golf and gotten some exposure to professional golf.

McCoy said he has become a leader because he hopes to follow in last season’s captain Mookie Dem-oss’ footsteps.

“I got to watch what he did all of last year and a lot of what I am going to do this year as captain will pull off of what he did,” McCoy said. “I am making sure I follow the example of what he did because it was a pretty good one.”

Like McCoy, Straka has used the high profile na-ture of the U.S Amateur Championship to provide him with something other than a trophy.

For Straka, it’s all about confidence, and he says that placing eighth was a huge confidence booster for him.

This is something that he can use to make not only himself better, but his teammates as well.

“It is really important in golf to believe that you can beat anyone any day,” Straka said. “I am just try-ing to preach that to the guys and get a confident en-vironment.”

Georgia’s women’s tennis team was in an excellent posi-tion.

The Bulldogs were one match away from an NCAA championship berth with the No. 5 collegiate player in the nation on court one.

But Georgia folded 4-1 to defending national champions UCLA, and senior Lauren Her-ring finished her career on that court with 238 combined sin-gles and doubles wins.

Junior Caroline Brinson is confident that her team is ready to pick up where it left off since Georgia’s No. 1 has moved on.

She’s even ready to take a leadership role alongside her

teammate senior Silvia Garcia.“Silvia and I, being the

upperclassmen, have kind of stepped up into that role and we’ve been prepared for that,” Brinson said.

This season’s roster con-tains five sophomores, one ju-nior, and one senior.

That’s an advantage asso-ciate head coach Drake Ber-nstein believes Georgia has heading into the new season.

“Five players with the big-gest experiences on the biggest stages,” he said. “We’re not starting all over again. We got some experience in the house now.”

It’s not a rebuilding pro-cess, but rather another chance at a familiar goal.

Although the Bulldogs ar-en’t reconstructing their line-up, they will be forced to mix and match to find what duos

match up the best in doubles competition.

That leaves sophomore El-len Perez partnerless, at least for the moment, since she was usually paired with Herring last season.

Fall is the time to experi-ment and see what works, ac-cording to Bernstein.

“That’s what you do during the fall,” he said. “Throw a bunch of doubles teams out there and see what teams click.”

The sophomores are will-ing to step up and the upper-classmen are prepared to lead. They are all putting in the same effort and the same amount of work, Bernstein said.

“Everyone realized that we lost our No. 1 player,” he said. “Everyone is kind of taking it upon themselves to get out there and work and do better. ”

While her numbers carried weight, Herring’s legacy will live on and her charisma on the tennis court will continue to linger with the rest of the team despite her graduation, Brin-son said.

“She had the characteris-tics of a Bulldog on the court,” she said. “The best way we can carry on Lauren’s legacy here is to fight as she did on the court. And I’m totally up to doing that.”

THURSDAY

WRENN AND SAM BURCHFIELD

Athens local pop act Wrenn and Atlan-

ta singer-songwriter Sam Burchfield will be playing together on Thursday night at The Foundry.

Burchfield has a stripped-down folk sound, while Wrenn plays more of a blend of pop music with jazz and horn elements, so the show is sure to be a mellow yet captivating night for any fans of ei-ther genre. The concert begins at 8:30 p.m, and tickets are $7 in advance or $10 at the door.

FRIDAY

J. RODDY WALTSON AND THE BUSINESS

Solid rock music can be difficult to come by these days, as electric sounds continue to in-fluence the song-making industry.

Baltimore-based J. Roddy Waltson and the Business deliver a perfect rock sound

fronted by strong vocals and catchy guitar riffs. The band’s music is soul-influenced, and this high-energy show has the perfect vibes to kick off the weekend. Virginia natives Sleepwalkers will start out the night at 9 p.m. The show is at the 40 Watt Club and tickets are $16.

SATURDAY

THE DIRTY GUV’NAHS

For years, southern rock outfit The Dirty Guv’nahs have contin-ued to grow , releas-ing consistently good albums. The band plays with a folk-rock vibe fused with signature southern rock guitar riffs.

This will be the band’s final show in Athens for the known future as it is being called a “Farewell Tour.” The concert is at 8 p.m. at the Georgia Theatre.

When many think of the arts in Athens, thoughts of up-and-coming bands and one-of-a-kind musicians come to mind.

However, creativity takes many forms in the Classic City, including the many aspiring comics who have found a home in Athens.

As more and more comedy shows continue to pop up around Athens, OpenTOAD Comedy open mic at Flicker Theatre and Bar remains a consistent, energetic and nurturing place for beginners and veteran com-ics alike.

This is all despite the departure of longtime host Caleb Synan, who left his OpenTOAD career behind for a spot on the NBC competition pro-gram “Last Comic Standing.”

“My first show I ever performed about three and a half years ago was at OpenTOAD,” said Jake Brannon, one of the two new hosts. “The fact that I have taken it over, and to see where Caleb has gone, has made me

hopeful for Shaunak [Godkhindi] and I’s future in comedy.”

Despite Caleb’s departure, Bran-non and Shaunak Godkhindi, the show’s other new host, both insist that OpenTOAD is still the same show that boasted packed rooms and loud laughs during Synan’s tenure.

“The only difference is that the hosts changed,” Godkhindi said. The venue has been the best. The same regulars come to every show. We just tried to keep [Synan’s] recipe the same.”

On top of hosting OpenTOAD, Brannon and Godkhindi also host another comedy show at The World Famous, called “The Good Stuff”.

“Responding to more emails has really been the only difference be-tween OpenTOAD and our show at the World Famous,” Brannon said. At the World Famous, we book the comics, but at OpenTOAD, being an open mic, the comics book us. It gives OpenTOAD a lot of variety.”

Despite the changes, OpenTOAD continues to grow with every show, as more and more people cram into Flicker to take part in Athens’ grow-ing culture of performance comedy.

“Jake and Shaunak help the fam-ily that is Athens comedy grow,” said Madeline Evans, a regular performer at OpenTOAD. “They are so comfort-able on the stage and know exactly how to engage the audience.”

OpenTOAD is hosted at Flicker twice per month, with the next show scheduled for Sept. 1.

The countdown to football season is officially down to two weeks, and both stu-dents and Athens locals alike are readjusting to everything that comes with another fall semes-ter in the Classic City.

Even though there isn’t a football game this weekend, there are a ton of great concerts to help manage the anxiety of waiting for game day.

“You know that they’re going to block their tails off for us running backs, open up some big holes for us, and there’s definitely that trust,” Douglas said. “I trust them that they’re going to do well and block.”

Some of the relationships between line-men and running backs began early, as Turman hosted Isaiah Wynn — who is playing guard, tackle and center in fall camp — when he was getting recruited. Wynn is from Tampa, Florida, and Turman is from Orlando, Florida, about 90 miles away.

And some relationships just never fizzled, as Long and former UGA tailback Todd Gurley still FaceTime about twice a week.

The position groups sing each other’s praises — although that’s not difficult to do with such experience both on the line and in the backfield.

“They’re just a funny group of guys, and when it comes to the job, they always get it done,” Turman said.

“First and foremost, [left tackle] John Theus is probably one of my best friends; I hang around him more than anybody,” running back Marshall said.

“Nobody works like he does,” Long said of Chubb.

Last season, Georgia rushed for an average of 257.85 yards per game and tallied 38 rushing touchdowns, good for No. 12 in the nation. And those numbers would have likely hovered at zero had both sides not contributed.

Without each other, they’re nothing.
