Linda Kirk Fox is dealing with a new university, a new job and now, new budget cuts.

With only a month as the dean of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, Fox has already learned about the budget reductions for fiscal year 2012 and what they’ll mean for her college.

“The transition has been good, everyone has been very helpful to me,” she said. “It’s just things are a little different in terms of just understanding the budget num-bers — how they’re coded and how they’re recorded.”

The numbers for FY12 mean that the college will lose an activi-ties coordinator, a faculty position and credit hour funding that would have been used to hire new tenure track faculty, according to the FACS budget planning document.

“One of the things we have done is to protect faculty positions as much as possible — particularly to protect new, recently hired and untenured faculty,” she said. “So we avoided doing any layoffs, and we focused on vacant positions.”

Even though the college was able to avoid layoffs, the loss of the activities coordinator could reduce scholarships, professorships, study abroad support, student awards and other support, according to the document.

In addition, research and other external funding will be reduced. Approximately 1,200 credit hours and eight classes will be lost. The college also expects a delay in graduation of about 50 students.

With more than 1,400 under-graduates, faculty members may have their hands full.

“I would characterize it as we have embraced that some of our class sizes would be larger,” Fox said. “And so I think we had some room for growth in a few areas, and faculty are stepping up to the opportunity with some larger class sizes.”

However, Fox has not yet had a chance to speak to faculty or stu-dents.

“I’m fairly new,” she said. “I will be meeting with faculty, but I think the spirit is very positive.”

Tyler Baker, a student govern-ment association senator for FACS, said he plans on discussing the budget with Fox at a FACS retreat in the fall. The retreat is a week-end for the student leaders of the

With University bookstore shopping bags over one arm, red neck-wallets over the other and their noses buried in cam-pus maps, many incoming freshmen like to meticulously plan out their every move before the first day of classes.

But for new freshman Cady John, fig-uring out the fastest route between Russell and the Bolton Dining Hall was the least of his worries.

John and nearly 60 other Chinese international students stepped into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport for the first time on July 29.

He had no working cell phone, car, family, friends or even a place to stay.

But that didn’t stop him from getting in the Bulldog spirit.

“Wow, this is the place I want to be,” he said Friday night. “I want everything Georgia. I want to participate in every-thing and I want to experience every-thing you guys experience.”

Athens First United Methodist Church has teamed up with the Chinese Student Union every year since 2004 to help ease the transition for these kinds of students.

“A lot of their flights come in late at night,” said Lynn Bryant, director of international student ministries at the church. “So they would be sleeping in chairs at the airport all night or they would have to find a hotel in Atlanta, which is kind of hard for them to do.”

The church not only gives them a ride to Athens, it also offers a free meal and a place to stay for the students’ first night in the Classic City.

“We’re trying to do whatever we can to make it a little bit easier for them to get used to a totally different culture so they won’t be shocked,” said Chinese Student Union Vice President Ling Rao.

Rao, who used this service when she moved to Athens from China two years ago, said she still remembers the feeling

After it lost the ability to allocate student fees, the Student Government Association has been work-ing to regain miles lost. However, a meeting today with Student Affairs may set the group in the right direction.

SGA President Mallory Davis said the group will be meeting with Student Affairs Vice President Rodney Bennett to discuss the administration official’s expectations.

“We have not really been able to communicate with Dr. Bennett this summer, b e c a u s e he’s been away with his family on vacation for an e x t e n d e d period of time,” Davis said. “I’m really inter-ested to hear what his conditions are, and what we have to do to get these funds back.”

SGA’s ability to allocate funds, which was won in 2009, was rescinded in June after the arrest of SGA Treasurer Inman Porter for public intoxication. Police arrested Porter after he was found running near the Inner Loop and Tallassee Road on June 11.

The charges were later dropped after the Solicitor General’s Office deter-mined Porter’s case did not meet charge requirements.

“I want to be clear I wasn’t drunk,” Porter said. “The cop may have to say that. From what I could see he was kind of a new cop anyways, and he didn’t breathalyze. Now he’s defi-nitely going to have defend his position and say that I was drunk — if nothing else, to protect his job.”

In a letter to SGA, Bennett wrote that the fund allocation suspension was “in light of recent news reports of the arrest of Inman Porter.” The letter also stated “the allocation process will remain sus-pended until such time as [SGA has] the opportunity to conduct [its] own review of this situation.”

Following Porter’s refus-al to resign, SGA announced in late June that the organization would consider an impeachment process. Porter has also been charged with disrup-tive or disorderly conduct caused by the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs by the Office of Student Conduct. The hearing is set for Aug. 26.

Porter said he believes he will be found innocent by the University, and the University may be pursu-ing charges due to policy.

“It’s probably just a for-mality. I don’t know,” Porter said. “The case was

At last, the historic Georgia Theatre made its triumphant return to Athens. Following a two-year closure from a 2009 fire, the Theatre was welcomed back to town with open arms. The sold out show featured Madeline Adams (left) and The Glands (below). The show is the beginning of a two-week reopening that will feature a variety of artists from many different genres.

After arriving in the United States, 60 Chinese students enjoyed a free meal at the Athens First United Methodist Church.

University students no longer attend the No. 1 party school in the nation.

But No. 2 is not too far down the list.

The Princeton Review released its rankings of universities on a wide range of issues Monday, including the party school rank-ing.

The University also received a place on the Review’s Green Honor Roll, No. 15 among “jock schools,” No. 6 in best campus food and No. 5 in best public school value.

“If you want to brag about the good ones, you’ve got to take the bad ones,” said Tom Jackson, vice president for public affairs.

Jackson discounted the sig-nificance of the results.

“We also noted they have a tendency to shuffle around the top 10,” he said. “It’s not a sur-prise when the No. 1 and No. 2 schools switch.”

Jackson criticized the meth-odology of the survey, a self-sub-mitted opinion survey by an aver-age of 350 students per school. According to the Princeton Review website, 122,000 students were polled nationally.

“I can tell by the diference in my phone calls this year,” he said. “The school that gets No. 1, they just get inundated the first few days.”

Though students visit the Princeton Review website, which lists rankings and other statis-tics, most students express few concerns about the University’s loss of the No. 1 spot.

“I don’t really care,” said Andrew Healy, a junior finance major from Marietta. “I just hope the police presence downtown goes down a little bit. Last year

it was higher than it’s ever been in past years.”

Regan Hovey, a senior from Atlanta majoring in psychology, said she thought losing the No. 1 ranking might better the

University’s image. “It’s probably a good thing

not to be No. 1,” she said. “It’s good to be a fun school, but not No. 1 in the nation.”

Jackson said the No. 5 best

value ranking was a good reflec-tion of the University and put in perspective the cost of education at the University, especially in light of recent changes in cost of tuition.

“Even with the changes we’ve had with the HOPE scholarship and an increase in tuition,” he said, “UGA still remains one of the best public universities in the nation.”

dismissed by the courts of the United States of America. I’m innocent and I’m looking forward to pre-senting the truth to the University.”

Davis said she was uncertain whether the SGA would continue to seek Porter’s impeachment if University charges against him were dropped.

“Just because of all that’s happened during the summer, I would love to include the general SGA in that decision,” she said. “I would love to hear their reaction to that news, because money is definitely a touchy subject right now, not only for our nation but for individuals.”

She also said she was interested to see the outcome of the trial and that she found Inman’s refusal to resign disheartening.

“It has been extremely disheartening, since he is new to the organization. I think he’s been unable to grasp the larger picture of what’s been at stake here,” Davis said. “We’re trying to think about what’s best for the organization moving forward from here, but this is really saddening.”

Porter said he felt SGA would not pursue his impeachment after the trial, however, and that there would be “nothing to gain” from his resignation.

“I don’t believe SGA would impeach an innocent man. An investigation would reveal that I’m innocent,” Porter said. “I’m capable and ready to get back to work.”

college to learn more about it.

“I have some ideas for the college and how its dealing with these budget cuts,” Baker said. “I want more information about the budget cuts, but I also really want to get to know her better.”

As a result of budget cuts, FACS has also elimi-nated its “Birth to Five” and “pre-K to 2” under-graduate Child and Family Development programs as well as its Master of Arts in Teaching program, accord-ing to the University’s FY12 budget narrative.

But that’s not all.The cuts to the College

of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are having a ripple effect that extends to FACS.

The agricultural experi-ment station funds were cut by 6.35 percent and the cooperative extension funds were cut by 6.69 per-cent.

“We work closely with

the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, so we’ve all felt the pinch of the loss of those funds,” Fox said.

The reduction in agri-cultural experiment station funds will “reduce seed money for for research projects, laboratory sup-port for faculty and also reduce funding that we could use to hire another faculty member,” according to the FACS document.

The college is preparing to grow external funds, grants and contracts.

But significantly increas-ing private funds may be easier said than done.

According to the FACS budget planning docu-ment, “due to budget reductions, we need to rely more on external funding but we cannot generate the funding with the loss of positions.”

As for the future, recent graduates and FACS alum-ni could play an integra role in helping to offset the cuts.

“We are preparing to meet and greet alumni,” Fox said. “We have a

strong donor base that I’m preparing to learn more about and thank and ask for donors to continue, if not, ramp up their support for the college.”

FACS: Budget cuts create ripple effect

What do the FACS cuts mean?Loss of an activities coordinator — the loss of this position affects the ability to reach out to donors which results in a reduction of giving to scholarships, professorships and student awards.

Loss of a faculty line and credit hour funding — Approximately 1,200 credit hours and eight classes will be reduced. Not being able to hire tenure track faculty will also result in the loss of potentially hun-derds of thousands of research dollars.

If research at the University had a best friend, it would be the Georgia Research Alliance.

“The University of Georgia over the last 20 years has made huge strides in building its research capacity and it’s just very hard to imagine that we could have made the kind of progress we’ve made without the aid of the GRA,” said David Lee, vice president for research at the University.

The GRA supports Georgia’s six research uni-versities through grants and the recruitment of emi-nent scholars.

The University has 16 eminent scholars and has received more than $132 milllion in investment from the Georgia Research Alliance since it began in 1990.

But recent budget cuts have limited the funds available to the GRA to fulfill its mission of build-ing the research capacity of the state of Georgia.

The budget provided to the nonprofit corporation by the state for the 2011 fell to $17 million — a reduction of $6.8 million.

“It’s certainly the case that they’ve had less money, noticeably less money, to offer in support,” Lee said. “And I’m frankly worried about it. At the same time, our budget has been cut more than once and we are getting into an area, a period in which we don’t ever want to be in the position of telling faculty, ‘You shouldn’t apply for that grant because we’re not sure we have the matching money.’ That would be a very bad spot for us to be in.”

Lee said the GRA has continued to recruit schol-ars for the Eminent Scholars program, but he worries about its ability to provide matching money for grants.

“The focus will be on the recruitment and retention of eminent scholars and the commercialization of existing research,” said Kathleen Robichauld, director of communica-tions at the GRA.

The Eminent Scholars

program works to attract leading scientists to Georgia’s research univer-sities with the overall goal to develop industries in the state.

Eminent Scholars are provided with a $1.5 million endowment.

The University contrib-utes $750,000 and the GRA provides a matching $750,000.

Every year, interest from the endowment is drawn for a discretionary fund.

“That becomes discre-tionary money that we find, and other universities know to be the case, that it’s vital to have that kind of discretionary funding to attract the very best scien-tists because they want to have the freedom to explore research opportunities out-side of grants,” Lee said.

Lee said grant funds are provided to do a specific body or work, but are not funded to explore new ave-nues.

James Prestegard is an Eminent Scholar who spe-cializes in the area of nucle-ar magnetic resonance.

Prestegard said the dis-cretionary funding was a relatively small, but impor-tant, portion of his budget at about 5 percent.

“The really important thing is that its funds that can be used to start new programs and fill in gaps and fluctuations in fund-ing,” he said.

The GRA also plays an important part in building the facilities and providing equipment necessary for research.

In 2010 a new nanotech-nology facility was built with funds from the GRA along with the University of Georgia Research Foundation.

Lee said nanotechnolo-gy has become an “enabling science”, meaning it is nec-essary for development in many other fields such as medicine.

“It’s just become an indispensible part of the toolkit that a lot of differ-ent kinds of scientists want to be able to use. So I felt we were hampered by not having a real state of the art nano facility,” Lee said. “So we set out to build it and we now have it. It’s a world class facility and the Riverbend South complex that the University owns.”

The GRA also provides the matching funds for fed-eral grants.

Often federal grants

require a match from uni-versity and the GRA will contribute the the University’s portion of the match.

“The federal govern-ment might provide half of the money or two thirds of the money and we have to provide another significant amount,” Lee said. “If every time our faculty applied for those grants the University had to guarantee the match, we just wouldn’t be able to do it. And so the GRA has been vital in ensuring those grants.

Lee said the University and the GRA have made it a goal over the past few years to more closely tie investments with areas that show the most poten-tial for economic develop-ment in Georgia.

The research area of infections disease research area as one area of poten-tial investment, partly due to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta.

By investing money in the research capacity in this area, the state is look-ing to attract industries

that develop vaccines or other related products.

Another part of the way the GRA advances the research of Georgia reser-achers is to capitalize on the commercialization of ideas.

Lee said the GRA con-tributes funds to the busi-ness incubator, which pro-vides faculty with the resources to begin their own companies from their research findings.

The GRA also works to foster cooperation between institutions as researchers work to solve crucial prob-lems such as obesity and the effects of global warm-ing.

“The whole concept behind the Georgia Research Alliance is that they’re to do two things: one they’re to help build the research capacity in Georgia research universi-ties, particularly at the high caliber end,” Lee said. “And to help make sure that that increase in capac-ity translates in to eco-nomic development—in other words, jobs.”

as she walked through a crowd of unfamiliar faces.

“‘Wow, I’m a foreigner.’ That’s what I felt,” she said. “I saw so many Americans around me so I said to myself, ‘I am in a different country.’ I was very excited.”

But according to Bryant, a certain level of fear often comes with that excitement.

“We just want to make them feel welcome and help the transition,” she said. “I think the first shock is how hard it is for them to get around. They won’t know where to shop, they won’t know where the nearest gro-cery store is and just navigating for the first week is a real challenge.”

But even after being dropped in a totally new world, most Chinese stu-dents said they were able to adjust fairly quickly.

“When I came over, I didn’t know anything about Athens or Georgia,” said Chinese Ph.D. student Peng Tian. “But this program really helped me. When I got here, everything was ready. Everything was prepared just for me so I felt comfortable.”

As classes got underway, Tian said the University community continued to ease him into the American life-style.

“Even though I learned English in China, it was not enough to commu-nicate — not to mention following a teacher’s instructions in class. It has been really hard but my teachers and classmates gave me great support.”

With time, many students said they have even learned to love one of

Athens’ favorite pastimes — “American football.”

“In China, I always watched the [National Football League] high-lights and I knew a few football teams,” Tian said. “But all I really liked were touchdowns. But when I got here, I found even the tackles made me pretty excited.”

The Chinese community has been slowly growing in Athens over the last decade. In 2000, the University was home to 14 Chinese undergradu-ate and 278 graduate students and professors.

Those numbers swelled to 81

undergraduates and 327 graduate students and professors last year — making China the most common country of origin for international students.

Bryant said it’s this growing popu-lation that keeps her running the program from year to year.

“We just see a real need,” she said. “When they first get here, they don’t know what to expect. They don’t know what is routine. After they’ve been here a while they realize it really was an act of service to them. Once they realize that, they want to give back.”

During the past years, frozen yogurt shops such as Yoguri and Yoforia have competed for the dessert enthusiast’s attentions.

Now newcomer Menchie’s, which opened in mid-June, has thrown itself into the froyo war.

“At Menchie’s, we pride ourselves in being more than just a frozen yogurt shop, but an experience that is interactive and fun for people of all ages,” said Rebecca Steele, Menchie’s creative direc-tor. “Customer service, community and family are just as important to us as serving the highest quali-ty and most delicious fro-zen yogurt.”

Cookies and Cream, Irish Mint, Pecan Praline and Ducle de Leche are only four of 12 speciality flavors the store offers.

Patrons can also choose from 30 types of candy toppings, 12 fruit toppings and four hot syrup choices.

Jamie Sanders, a University campus mail employee, thinks Menchie’s location on Alps Road has contribut-ed to its success.

“Menchie’s has a bet-ter location than its com-petitors,” he said, “It’s close to the movies, and across the street from the Chik-fil-A.”

Menchie’s also offers various ways to get dis-counts off your purchases such as the mySmilage program.

“The mySmileage pro-gram is a fun and easy system to reward our

loyal customers. For every dollar spent, customers receive one smile, and when they’ve reached 50 smiles, they earn $5 to spend in the store,” Steele said.

The store also offers seasonal discounts, such as its existing 20 percent off reward for local educa-tors.

Patrons who bring their spoon during their next visit can receive also receive a 10 percent dis-count as part of the stores eco-friendly efforts.

Older yogurt shops, such as Yoforia and Yoguri, continue to be popular choices for those seeking the frozen treat.

Yoforia, a nationwide chain, is known for its futuristic décor and more conservative flavors, such as original and blueberry.

Megan Neary, a senior from Woodstock, said she always has, and always will be a fan of Yoforia.

“The prices are rea-

sonable, and you can get however much you want to,” Neary said.

Yoguri is an indepen-dent shop, unlike Yoforia and Menchie’s.

Employee Brandon Page said Yoguri stands out compared to its other competitors.

“Our yogurt is our very own recipe made fresh every morning along with the toppings,” Page said. “Customers get a more special, personal experi-ence due to the friendly staff.”

Kenady Pitts, a senior health promotions major from Lawrenceville said she also agrees.

“I’m not a big yogurt fan, and when I thought of the idea of yogurt being frozen, I just knew I wouldn’t like it,” she said. “However, when I tried Yoguri for the first time, I became addicted. I love it. It’s a part of Athens that will never be replaced.”


Frozen yogurt, or froyo, has been making its appearance more frequently in the Athens area.

New frozen yogurt stores allow customers creativitySweeter with Time2009 — Yoguri opens in downtown Athens and boasts freshly made treats. The store features flavors such as green tea and fresh fruit toppings. It is also one of the only independent frozen yogurt locations in Athens.

2010 — Yoforia opens in Five Points, serving organic, self-serve frozen yogurt. The new store also allows its

customers to pay by the ounce.

2011 — Polarberry opens on Timothy Road. Another independent store, it features interesting flavors such as cake mix, mango tango, dutch choco-late and blueberry muffin.

2011 — Menchie’s, another national chain, opens. This store boasts dozens of flavors, and includes low-carb options and vegan sorbet.

I like a clever cartoon. I also like that the July 28 Red & Black editorial cartoon opens the door for comment about UGA poultry research.

Like a lot of agricultural research, poultry research often flies under the radar. That is a shame because our UGA scientists really do some interesting and meaningful research.

No, we haven’t unlocked the Colonel’s 11 secret herbs and spices (we prob-ably could, but that’s not our thing).

We do conduct sophis-ticated and relevant research in poultry genet-ics, reproduction, physiol-ogy, endocrinology, parasi-tology, molecular biology, cell biology, nutrition, food safety, animal behavior and welfare, environmental protection, etc. Our sci-entists have won national awards for their research – research that solves real world problems.

We are very proud that four of our students won outstanding research awards at a national/inter-national scientific meeting last week in St. Louis, Mo.

To give a flavor of the type of research we do, here are just a few titles of research our students and faculty presented at this meeting: “Amino acid digestibility of soy products,” “Transfection of germ line stem cells in chicken,” “Elevated testosterone stimulates female birds to produce more sons,” “Temperature-dependent sex deter-mination in chickens,”

“Molecular character-ization of histomonas,” “Bioavailability of tribasic manganese chloride for broiler chickens,” and “Effect of dietary amino acid density on the global gene expression profile of the chicken intestine.”

Georgia farmers aren’t just good they are the best in the world at producing chickens and eggs. UGA research has contributed significantly to that global standing.

Over 100,000 Georgians are employed directly by poultry firms and the associated companies and individuals that provide goods and services to poul-try producers. Even during these difficult economic times, we can describe UGA Poultry Science graduates with one word, “EMPLOYED.”

The University of Georgia is a unique institu-tion, and Poultry Science is one of those things that set us apart. We are one of the few U.S. universities that offer this rewarding degree.

I appreciate the impe-tus the cartoon provided to pen this comment. I hope it may encourage a student or two looking for a field of study where they might contribute in a positive way to humankind to think about Poultry Science as a career.

Be concerned about fatal addiction

The man who gives a cluckEmail and letters from our readers

No university has been named The Princeton Review’s No. 1 party school two years in a row.

Thankfully, this year did not break the cycle.And we’ve got a message for the newly No. 1

Bobcats — you can keep the title.Being known as the No. 1 party school was

no honor. But it pointed out several aspects of our campus that needed attention.

Look at how The Princeton Review decides where schools fall on the list: they look at the use of alcohol and drugs, number of hours stud-ied and the popularity of the Greek system.

The number of alcohol-related incidents at our University is astounding. Just this past week there were four alcohol incidents reported in this newspaper. And its summertime.

Where is the pride in DUI victims?And if the respondents to the email survey

were telling the truth about number of hours studied for class, we ought to be concerned. Why is it that we pay thousands of dollars to sit in classrooms and watch movies? Or not be challenged? Or not engage?

College is the only preparation we get before we launch into the next segment of our lives. For some of us, our four, five, six and some-times more years at the University are our last years in a system of higher education. Why would we want to receive our only preparation with sunglasses, a bottle of Advil and a head-ache every morning?

That’s not preparatory. That’s just silly.And as for the Greek system, some of our

fraternities and sororities are exceptional and maintain a level of dignity and admirable com-mradery. They have earned that recognition. Yet more than one Greek organization on our campus was shut down this past year due to hazing violations. Not to mention the notorious lawn parties and the list of noise complaints.

There is always room for improvement.Being known as the No. 1 party school was

an experience. Now, we know how that feels. But let’s work to keep ourselves off the top of the charts in the future. At least for the sake of our future jobs, our bodies and our health.

Cheers. Or not.

Elements of board game seen in Congress

In the weeks following the death of Amy Winehouse, there is much we have learned.

First off, you know those things called drugs? Yeah, they kill people.

Second, despite artists such as Hank Williams Sr. (29) and Jeff Buckley (30) being apparently more deserving to enter The 27 Club, Winehouse’s death still quali-fies her for the covenant of musi-cians who died at that age.

Third, there is no such thing as “too soon.”

But out of all of these lessons, one has seemed to escape us — much like it did with Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger.

The lines between celebrities and ourselves are not that differ-ent.

Yet, we watched the demise of Winehouse as if it was some sort of foreign concept, almost like a freak show.

That is what’s odd about every-thing surrounding Winehouse, we saw everything happen.

It isn’t like we were unaware of some drug her doctor prescribed her or that deep down she was sui-cidal and kept everything inside.

We saw this in every tabloid, every interview, every concert and every image of her.

Should there be guilt over this? Probably not, and let’s face facts, we are not responsible for her actions or the coverage of her actions.

But at the same time, we looked at this more as some sort of joke — a publicity stunt gone wrong.

It was addiction. And addiction is no laughing matter.

The irony is we see people all the time who are alcoholics, coke heads, pill poppers and other addicts.

In a city the size of Athens, of course we’re going to come across them. That’s not being negative about our town, it’s just part of liv-ing in a city.

But when we see Winehouse going through the same problems in London via satellite or cable, it

becomes laughable.The only thing I can think to ask

is, “Why?” She is not the first celeb-rity to die at a young age, and she certainly won’t be the last.

For years there will be continu-ous discussions about if she is wor-thy of being in the 27 Club or if she will be posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And the jokes will never end.

All sorts of concoctions will be named after her. Someone dying from an overdose will be “Pulling a Winehouse.” Older generations will be appalled at people remembering her legacy 15, 25 or even 50 years in the future.

I’m not trying to interject my morals — after all I had her in my yearly celebrity death pool, who am I to judge?

But that sort of sick humor of “You’re going to hell for doing this,” just isn’t there anymore.

Maybe it’s me growing up, but should we not be more concerned about deadly addictions? I think we should.

— Wil Petty is the managing editor of The Red & Black

I am a big fan of games.So much so, I actually came

up with my own. I’ve named it Congress. The game should be very simple.

And yet, it will probably be the most frustrating thing one could ever experience.

First, you must find 535 people. The only qualification for playing is they must be egotistical dimwits. This shouldn’t be hard. The goal of the game — survival. Players want to stay in the game for as long as possible.

The game is broken up into rounds.

Once a round begins, the players are given a multitude of tasks that need to be accomplished in order for the game to continue.

These tasks include laying and collecting taxes, borrowing money, regulating commerce, declaring war and a handful of other things laid out in the game manual.

However, all of these duties are entirely optional and most likely will not get done.

For instance, it may be neces-sary for the group to raise the debt ceiling by a particular deadline to keep the game alive, but many players may not agree to do it.

Because although the group’s goal is to carry out these tasks, each player’s goal is survival and playing the game appropriately may not achieve that.

In fact, it may be in the best

interests of players to prevent the success of these tasks if it will increase their chances of survival.

Though the players may be dim-wits, it won’t take them long to fig-ure out that strategy.

The game manual also lays out a list of things players cannot do, but those don’t really matter much either.

The players most likely will spend more time trying to break the rules than they will trying to actually complete their tasks.

After all, nobody really reads the game manual, so why not just do whatever they want?

At the end of each round, play-ers will have to fight to keep their spot in the game.

You see, there are a lot of other egotistical dimwits out there that will want to play the game too.

When the time comes, most

players will have to compete in popularity contest with one of these fellow dimwits.

Players will brag about how they are already in the game and lie about what they have accom-plished while participating.

If the new dimwit wins the pop-ularity contest, then he takes the player’s spot in the game.

But if the player wins, then he survives until the end of the next round.

That is, of course, as long as extracurricular activities such as soliciting in airport bathrooms or having sex with teenage girls don’t prevent them from playing the game anymore.

There are an infinite number of rounds, and the game can continue as long as there are enough dim-wits that want to play.

But that shouldn’t be a problem.Eventually, the playing board

might begin falling apart, the game manual might rip, or pieces of it will get lost.

Hopefully that won’t happen. But with the dimwits playing the game, it is probably inevitable.

Thank God this is only a game we’re playing though.

I’d hate to see something like this happen in real life.

By JASON FLYNNTHE RED & BLACK

When searching for concerts in Athens this year, students need not stray off campus.

The Hugh Hodgson School of Music Second Thursday Scholarship Series will provide some of the best in orchestra and student ensembles.

Performances start Sept. 8 and cost only $5 for students.

The Scholarship Series gives the school a chance to feature the top talent at the music school.

“It presents the best of the kinds of repotoire that we do,” said Dale Monson, the director of Hugh Hodgson. “The School of Music puts on over 350 concerts a year including band performances, and student recitals.”

The Scholarship Series has expanded greatly since its beginning in 1980 as an educational endeav-or.

“It started as a music appreciation series with lectures from Hugh Hodgson, the first music school director,” Monson said. “They also listened to and played music, then at some point it was turned into a concert with ticket sales.”

Now the Second Thursday Series features performances from groups who have been requested internationally, in addition to expected seasonal per-formances.

“The ARCO Chamber Orchestra, which is play-ing the final show, has been invited to the Venice opera house to be the orchestra for an event with [the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization,]” Monson said. “The holiday special is definitely the most pop-ular performance every year. We could probably sell tickets for four nights of performances and sell out every night.”

Monson said the Scholarship Series is extremely important for the school of music, as it funds future endeavors by the performers.

“Besides ticket sales, the Scholarship Series allows willing parties the chance to see the product of the School of Music and donate money,” he said.

PLAY IT AGAIN

Sept. 8 — The University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mark Cedel, will feature Leonard Bernstein’s Overture to Candide and Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2, “Romantic.”

Oct. 13 — The University Wind Ensemble will play celebrations-themed program that includes such pieces as George Frederick Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks and H. Owen Reed’s La Fiesta Mexicana.

Nov. 10 — The opera orchestra will produce Puccini’s La Bohème, which follows the loves and problems faced by a group of young bohemians in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840s.

Dec. 1 and 2 — The University Holiday Concert, a local favorite, will celebrates the season with music performed by the University Symphony Orchestra and the University Chorus.

Jan. 12 — Russian pianist Evgeny Rivkin will return to the Hodgson Hall stage to play selections from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Feb. 9 — The University Faculty Chamber Ensembles, including the Franklin String Quartet, the Georgia Woodwind Quintet and the Georgia Brass Quintet, will perform during this evening of varied chamber music.

March 8 — The University Percussion Ensemble and University Jazz Band will perform “A Night of Rhythmic Music” under the direction of Steve Dancz.

April 12 — The ARCO Chamber Orchestra will con-trast the music of Bach and Schubert with the con-temporary Russian composer Efrem Podgaits dur-ing this season end performance.

The initial lineup of the upcoming Athens PopFest has just been announced — and quite frankly it is huge. As usual, the festival has attracted some of the biggest independent names to the Classic City.

Traditionally occurring in early August, this year’s festi-val will take place Oct. 11 to 15. The full festival will have more than 50 bands throughout five days. In order to help attendees plan their viewing in advanced, we have constructed previews of expected bands.

Concerts through Performance UGA will be taking place the second Thursday of each month. Shows range from opera to concertos.

Best of PopFest 2011

Olivia Tremor Control

No Athens festival would be complete without having a major representation of the host city. This year, PopFest delivers with Olivia Tremor Control. The indie rock group gained a following in the ‘90s. The group is best associated with ‘90s independent company Elephant 6. For Athenians, this will be an extremely important show.

Throwing Muses

Rhode Island has a music scene? You bet.Newport’s Throwing Muses has been rock-ing New England and the country since 1981. The female-fronted post-punk group is said to be in the mixing process for an upcoming release. Potential new material could be part of the group’s show.

Bob Mould

Best known for his time in Minneapolis groups Hüsker Dü and Sugar, Bob Mould is a familiar face. Not only has Mould been in two successful bands followed up by a solo career, he has also produced albums for bands such as Soul Asylum and Low. Through his mix of hardcore punk and alternative rock, Mould will be an act festival-goes will not want to mix.

Kleenex Girl Wonder

Recently reunited, Chicago’s Kleenex Girl Wonder fronted by Graham Smith is a major addition to the PopFest lineup. The music is strongly remi-niscent of college rock blended in with almost TV-like theme music (in particular “The Banana Splits”). The key thing about this show is no one really knows how long the band will be united for so this could be the last Classic City per-formance.

Man or Astro-man?

In what could be considered to be the greatest thing to come out of Alabama since I-20 East, Auburn-based band Man or Astro-man? delivers a fast-paced punk sound with hints of surf rock. While the band still occasionally plays and have done occasional stints at festivals like SXSW, the group has not released a new album since 2001. This could potentially be a good platform to test out new material, and is certainly not a set to miss.

The Dead Milkmen

Having been around since the early ‘80s, Philly’s The Dead Milkmen have creat-ed quite the following. The punk rock four-piece is best known for its 1988 album “Beelzebubba,” where the band had success with its song “Punk Rock Girl.” This is a major pickup for PopFest.

Courtesy Bob Mould

Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü, Sugar) will be among the performers at Athens PopFest 2011. Over 50 artists will be performing at the festival.

TAKE A PICTURE, IT LASTS LONGER

Want to get the autograph of your favorite Bulldog player? Or perhaps your favorite Bulldog bulldog?

Then mark your calendars for Aug. 20.Georgia holds its annual Fan Picture Day in

Sanford Stadium and will feature Bulldog foot-ball coaches, players and interim mascot, “Russ.”

Due to the construction on the north side of Sanford Stadium, Picture Day will be held in the Gate 6 and 7 plazas and the club level located between Gates 6 and 7 all on the south side of the stadium. Georgia Athletic Association officials request fans to be patient and prepared for longer lines and tighter sur-roundings due to the construction.

Gates will open at 1 p.m. to give fans time to get into position to meet players and coach-es. Georgia football players and coaches will be on hand for photographs and autographs from 3 to 5 p.m. Quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers will be set up in Gate 6. Offensive linemen and defensive linemen will be set up in the club level between Gates 6 and 7. Defensive backs, linebackers and spe-cial teams will be set up in Gate 7.

Fans are reminded that only two items are allowed per person, and event staff will be in place to enforce the limitations prior to enter-ing autograph lines. Starting at 8 a.m., 150 tickets each for “Russ” and Coach Mark Richt will be distributed from the East Campus Ticket Windows. Fans should be aware that there are two different lines for each ticket and should make plan accordingly if they want to have photos made with both.

In the press box, “Russ” will be available for photos from 1 to 3 p.m. and Richt will be signing autographs and taking pictures from 3 to 5 p.m. The fans with tickets will be directed to access the press box through Gate 8 or at the barricade off the ramp from the Gate 6/7 area. Fans must show tickets to access these areas, and no stand-by tickets will be distribut-ed.

Families traveling with children and strollers will need to make plans to park strollers in the designated parking area prior to entering the press box. No strollers and food or drink will be allowed inside the press box. Fans with tickets for “Russ” must be in line by 1:30 p.m. while fans with tickets for Richt must be in line by 3:30 p.m.

Parking is available to the general public in the following campus lots: any lots along East Campus Road, Journalism-Psychology Building, Clarke Howell Hall, Legion Field and Tate Center lots. Handicapped parking will be avail-able in the Tate Center lots.

A LOOK AT BOISE STATE

It starts the season in a new conference, but the same old confidence remains for the Boise State football team.

Winners of the Las Vegas Bowl and ending the season with a 12-1 record and a No. 9 ranking, Boise State enters the 2011 sea-son with many of its top players from a year ago and a move into the Mountain West Conference.

The Broncos return seven starters on offense and defense, most promi-nently quarterback Kellen Moore, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist, who com-pleted 71 percent of his passes last season for 3,845 yards, 35 touchdowns against six interceptions. While he lost his top two receivers to the NFL Draft — Titus Young and Austin Pettis — Moore can depend on top offensive linemen Nate Potter and Thomas Byrd and running back Doug Martin to help pace the offense.

The Broncos defense was stalwart last season and returns four players named to the All Western Athletic Conference team last season (it allowed just 12.8 points), but will need to find replacements for cornerback Brandyn Thompson (drafted by the Washington Redskins), defensive end Ryan Winterswyk and linebacker Winston Venable. But find-ing new players to replace the old ones hasn’t been an issue for head coach Chris Peterson, who has compiled a 61-5 record in his five seasons at Boise State, winning two BCS games during that time and being named the national coach of the year twice.

Several Bulldog soccer players helplift Atlanta team to title

With one championship under their belt, members of the Georgia soccer team return to Athens this week to vie for one on the collegiate level.

Several Bulldogs helped the Atlanta Silverbacks of the W-League wins its first championship this week, scoring five of the team’s six goals to capture the title. The Silverbacks beat the Ottawa Fury 6-1, thanks to two goals from rising junior Susannah Dennis, one from rising senior Jamie Pollock, and one from rising sophomore Alexa Newfield. Bulldog alum Megan Tomlinson also chipped in a goal in trouncing the Fury. Tomlinson earned championship game MVP honors.

With summer play over, the trio of Bulldogs return for the start of practice today. The soccer team hosts its annual Red & Black scrimmage Friday at 7 p.m. at the Turner Soccer Complex, and admission is free for that event. The Bulldogs kick off the 2011 season on the road at Furman on Aug. 19.

Former Bulldog golfers Henley,English named to Walker Cup Team

Harris English and Russell Henley have mirrored one another quite a bit this summer. Both graduated from the Georgia in May, both claimed victories on the Nationwide Tour as amateurs this summer, and now both will represent the United States on the Walker Cup Team.

The United States Golf Association chose English and Henley to join Patrick Cantlay of UCLA and Peter Uihlein of Oklahoma State as mem-bers of the 10-man team (the other six will be chosen later this summer). The Walker Cup pits the top 10 amateur players from the U.S. against a team representing Great Britain and Ireland. The competition takes place Sept. 10-11 at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in Scotland.

“This is a tremendous accomplish-ment for Harris and Russell,” Georgia coach Chris Haack told Georgia Sports Communications. “They set their sights on making the Walker Cup team, and that’s exactly what they did. All their hard work has paid off with this selection. I could not be prouder of them. I know they will represent the University of Georgia and the United States in a first-rate manner in Scotland.”

With the selections of English and Henley, Georgia now has been represented in the Walker Cup by 15 golfers. English won the 2011 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational at the Ohio State University Scarlet Course in July. One week earlier, English won the Southern Amateur at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club near Tampa, Fla. He advanced to the semifinals of the 2011 U.S. Amateur Public Links in June at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon and was a quarterfinalist in the 2010 APL at Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C.

Henley became the second amateur in history to win a Nationwide Tour event when he won the Stadion Classic at the UGA Course in Athens in May. Henley continued his strong play into the summer by qualifying for the U.S. Open, where he made the cut and finished 42nd.

— Red & Black Staff and wire reports

By DANIEL KRAMERTHE RED & BLACK

The receiving corps for the Georgia football team has lost its core.

A.J. Green and Kris Durham are away to the NFL, leaving a wide open hole in the Bulldog depth chart.

But if wide receiver coach Tony Ball is worried, he doesn’t show it — espe-cially after seeing the men-tal and physical toughness from the younger Bulldog receivers.

“You can’t replace all the experience [we lost] but we need to hit the ground running,” Ball said Tuesday. “I hope we’re OK. That’s why you recruit because you feel like they can bring something differ-ent to the group and create competition. You’re also banking on these guys see-ing the light come on and knowing it’s their time.”

But the cupboard isn’t bare for Ball, who can look to receiver Tavarres King and tight end Orson Charles for experience and firepower. Both have received some preseason accolades and Ball will look to them to help bring along the newcomers.

“It’s an advantage just to have someone with [Tavarres’] experience,” Ball said. “I want [Malcolm Mitchell] to learn concepts so he can play at either spot so that if an injury did occur and we feel like he’s the next best guy, we need to know where to put him. It’s certainly an advantage for our offense.”

Charles finished 2010 with 422 yards and three touchdowns and was named by both the Southeastern Conference coaches and media to the first-team All-SEC pre-season team.

“Orson already thinks he’s a receiver and that’s how we use him,” Ball said. “He won’t be in our meet-ings though but he will still be a big part of our offense.”

Mitchell, a Valdosta High School graduate, gar-nered some national atten-tion at the SEC Media Days when quarterback Aaron

Murray raved about how fast the receiver is pro-gressing in terms of com-mitment to understanding the offense.

“The thing I like about him most is he works harder than anyone,” Murray told The Red & Black. “I would say he knows already 70 to 80 per-cent of the playbook. Every day after pass drills he’ll get with me and we’ll work on routes a half-hour or 45 minutes. That’s every day.”

Ball needs a little more convincing, but granted, he has not had as many oppor-tunities to see his develop-ment over the summer.

“I’ve been hearing good things but I gotta be hon-est, I haven’t seen one rep of pass scale,” Ball said. “We don’t know how quick-

ly someone will come into their own and perform the way you hope they will or the way you saw them perform in high school. But what I will say is that I’m really impressed with his maturity, his intelli-gence and his abili-ty to communi-

cate.” Ball also touched on

how long it takes to know if and when a receiver is going to be useful, which is important with younger players.

“You have an idea about the young man’s mind-set in the recruiting process,” Ball said. “You look at where he is as a high school player and you can see that in the recruiting process. Once you start practicing, it probably takes a few [practices] to find out how far away he is. It doesn’t take long.”

He also stressed the importance of learning the offense quickly.

“We’re gonna feed them as much as we can feed them and see how much they can handle,” Ball said. “The most difficult thing is learning the new offense, new terminology, and new schemes. The game is smarter and more advanced at this level.”
