New on-campus housing is in the works. The Flats at Easley Mill broke ground in Apr. 2012, paving the way for 316 new bedrooms. The Standard plans to erect a building with 610 bedrooms by fall 2014.

For students, the options are only growing. But new housing for students downtown could negatively affect other housing complexes, both those which are older and those which are located farther off campus.

Kelly Girtz, the Athens-Clarke County District 9 commissioner, said students are now searching for higher level amenities.

“The HOPE scholarship and heightened levels of student family income at UGA means more students have a higher standard of living,” Girtz said. “Older complexes that don’t meet a contemporary standard are going to be less occupied.”

While The Standard proposes “super premium” and “real-world” units for future students, LaTasha

Brewer, leasing manager at Lakeside Apartments in Athens, said that the new housing will not affect Lakeside because it is within a different price bracket.

“The prices for the new apart-ments will be much higher than it is at Lakeside,” Brewer said. “So we will not have the same target market of stu-dents.”

The cost of rent at Lakeside ranges from $369 to $455 a month, as of Jan.

2013.“We’ve added a few upgrades in the

past couple of years,” Brewer said. “We redid our computer lab and added Mac computers, and we redid the furniture provided to the rooms.”

Brewer also said the distance between the locations of The Flats and Lakeside decrease competition between the complexes.

At the end of the fall 2012 semester, a number of MIST 2090 students didn’t see the “easy A” they were expecting — instead they saw “Incomplete” on their grade reports.

“It popped up on my grad report as an I, for incomplete, then on ELC there’s a course grade com-ment,” a student told The Red & Black. “It says, ‘An I indicates a potential aca-demic honesty violation. You will hear from Ms. Deborah Bell’s office of the Vice President for Instruction. I cannot dis-cuss this any further with you.’ Everyone’s like, ‘What did I do?’”

This sophomore University of Georgia stu-dent said he did not want to release his name for fear of grade-related repercus-sions. He estimated the number of students who received an incomplete grade to be over 60 of the 900 MIST 2090 students.

He also said many stu-dents in fraternities and sororities worked together on assignments.

“When you take [MIST], if you’re in any greek organi-zation, then a lot of people collaborate,” he said. “I don’t want to say they cheat, but they collaborate in terms of they help each other throughout the course, and that’s where there’s kind of a grey area. How much can you actually

help somebody?”Isaac Carluccio, a soph-

omore economics major, said he got an incomplete as the result of a software crash.

“I felt there were several inter-esting reason [sic] why I had been ‘caught’ [for cheat-ing],” Carluccio wrote in a message to The Red & Black. “The first being that I had been working on an assignment when suddenly (and very typically) VMware, the soft-ware needed for Mac users, crashed.”

Carluccio said he had “a heavy majority” of the assignment finished when the software crashed. Because he felt there “is nothing against ‘study bud-dies,’” he asked to see a classmate’s document.

“So I get back in the system and find my excel

file was the base file down-loaded, which had none of my work,” Carluccio wrote to The Red & Black. “From there, I tell [my friend] to just email me his copy,

which was exactly the same work I had completed previ-ously.”

Sharing files is how students were deemed academi-cally dishonest.

“You have alleg-edly either received unauthorized assis-tance by submitting for grading a file provided by another

student, or provided unau-thorized assistance by mak-ing available a file to anoth-er student, which he or she-submitted for grading,” Janine Aronson, professor of management information systems, wrote in a Dec. 18, 2012 email obtained by The Red & Black.

CHEATING: Professor proposes sanction

CrImE NoTEbook

University of Georgia Police were called to Building 1512 on Tuesday at 12:07 a.m. in reference to a “suspicious person with an object that appeared to be a rifle,” according to the report.

A witness reportedly saw “a tall black male exiting a room on the second floor… with what appeared to be a rifle.” The suspect then exited the room and walked toward the stairwell. Two other witnesses also reportedly saw the suspect.

The suspect was later identified and the “rifle” was discovered to be “two BB/pellet air rifles,” according to the report.

University of Georgia Police were called to Creswell Hall to investigate a reported criminal trespass that occurred Tuesday between midnight and 8:32 a.m.

According to the report, “an unknown individual defecated on the carpeting in the ‘D’ wing of the third floor.” The reporting party told the responding officer it would be less than $500 to clean and repair the damage.

Terry dean calls job at Virginia Tech ‘chance to go home’BY ERICA TECHO

@ericatecho

Robert Sumichrast, dean of the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business since 2007, is stepping down to become dean of the Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech.

“It really was for

personal reasons,” Sumichrast said. “My wife’s from that area — her family lives less than an hour from the Virginia Tech campus. It was a way for her to get closer to her family. I was also on the faculty at Virginia Tech for almost 20 years, so in some sense, it was going home for me as well.”

Before coming to UGA, Sumichrast start-ed his professional career as an assistant professor of manage-ment science at Virginia Tech in 1984, according to his biography on Terry College’s website.

Jeff Humphreys, director of UGA’s Selig Center for E c o n o m i c Growth, said he had heard Sumichrast was under consider-ation for another job prior to Thanksgiving. He also said he was disappointed to see Sumichrast leave, but understood his reasons.

“I would worry we would lose him though because he’s definitely a great dean, and I was really hoping we could hold onto him,” Humphreys said. “But I understand that it’s for personal reasons, that it’s a better fit for what he wanted.”

Humphreys said it was his understanding that Sumichrast was leaving for two reasons — because his wife’s family is in the area near Virginia Tech and because he taught at Virginia Tech for almost 20 years.

Sumichrast said he will remain at Terry through June of this year and has enjoyed the time he has worked there.

“I really have enjoyed my time as dean of the Terry College,” Sumichrast

said. “I think that Georgia has a great university, and I regret very much leaving the work that we’re doing here and the things that we’ve accom-plished, and most of all my friends, faculty and staff. This is a chance

for us to go home.”I m p r o v e m e n t s

made while he was dean, Sumichrast said, will be the legacy he leaves behind.

“We have built a stronger faculty and staff,” Sumichrast said. “I think we have a bet-ter communication with our students and alum-ni. We have certainly improved the academic programs, both gradu-ate and undergraduate. And we are well on our way towards replacing our facilities with a con-cept we call the Business Learning Community.”

Of the changes

Sumichrast made, Humphreys said the developments made with alumni will be “the most enduring.”

“He has really reached out to the alumni base, and I think has built a very, very good relationship with the alumni, has built a very good team of peo-ple in the alumni devel-opment that will ensure that those relationships endure,” he said. “So I think that will be one of the biggest legacies.”

He was dean of the E.J. Ourso College of Business at Louisiana State University from 2003 to 2007 before being chosen as the new dean of Terry College.

Sumichrast will succeed dean Richard E. Sorensen beginning July 1. Sorensen is retir-ing June 30, after being dean at Pamplin College of Business for 31 years.

Sumichrast said there will be a national search for his replace-ment this spring, and he will be separate from the search.

Despite confusion stemming from the number of incompletes doled out, this was not the first time Aronson alerted her classes to potential cheating.

Aronson spoke with students regarding Academic Honesty on Oct. 4, 2012, and “dur-ing several other lec-tures during the semes-ter,” according to the email.

Aronson also told students there was sus-pected cheating in her classes in October, according to the anony-mous student. She said students would be con-tacted regarding the potential dishonesty.

“I guess a month ago, at the end of October, she made an announcement about how she thought some people were cheating, ‘You’ll be getting an email’ or something like that,” he said. “Then we all thought it was over because nothing hap-pened. I think some Lambda Chis got caught for something, but other than that, like nothing.”

Bell, director of student academic hon-esty, said if a student or group of students is believed to be violating UGA’s honestly policy,

instructors have a responsibility to inform the Office of Academic Honestly. This contact can be made through email or form.

Students are noti-fied of the teacher’s report. The student and instructor can schedule a facilitated discussion or the teach-er may work out anoth-er settlement.

“At that first level of resolution, if the stu-dent agrees there has been a violation, the sanctioning is entirely up to the instructor and students,” Bell said. “We don’t put limi-tations on that. It could be a zero on the assign-ment. It could be an F in the course. It could be all sorts of things.”

Aronson gave stu-dents the option to have a facilitated dis-cussion or agree to a 10 percent reduction of their class grade.

If students took the 10 percent grade reduc-tion, there would be “no

Dishonesty Mark on your Official UGA Transcript, and no required community service,” according to the email.

If a student does not sign the sanction by Jan. 11, the email said it is assumed they chose to meet for a facilitated discussion.

After Carluccio received the assign-ment from his class-mate and turned it in, it was late.

Carluccio chose to take the facilitated dis-cussion with Dr. Aronson, rather than the offered point deduc-tion, because he said he saw this incident as not dishonest, but a tech-nological flaw. The facil-itated discussion would allow Aronson to see him not as a violator of academic integrity, “but rather a forgiving situa-tion,” he wrote.

Aronson could not be reached for com-ment to The Red & Black.

State provides less funding, tuition continues to increaseBY EMILY SCHOONE

@emscho33

Tuition for higher education contin-ues to increase across the nation. However, students in Georgia are seeing the lowest increase in tuition at the state's public universities since 2003.

With only a 2.5 percent increase in tuition, Georgia falls below the national tuition increase, which is averaged at 4.8 percent for public universities for 2012-2013, according to the College Board.

The College Board also released the University of Georgia’s ranking as sev-enth most expensive university in the nation due to its overall tuition increase of 98.3 percent since 2006. However, UGA fell behind both the Georgia Institute of

Technology, No. 5, and Georgia State University, No. 6.

Increases in tuition over the past 30 years have pushed student loan debts to almost $1 trillion as of 2012. More stu-dents are making higher education a priority, yet the tuition and fees that accompany such an education continue to increase due to a lack of state funding.

On a national level, smaller percent-ages of the states’ budgets are going towards public universities. Funding is redirected towards health care, prisons, secondary schools and K-12 education. While the funding has decreased, expens-es continue climb at public universities. Costs include an increase in administra-tion and newer dorms, gyms and dining halls.

Tom Jackson, Vice President of Public Affairs at UGA recognizes the tuition increase and the increased bud-get for the University.

“We haven’t seen any changes at all,” Jackson said of the enrollment at

UGA. Ninety-seven percent of students

currently enrolled are paying in-state tuition, meaning a vast number of stu-dents are awarded the HOPE scholar-ship as a financial aid option, and 62 percent of in-state students keep HOPE all four years.

The appeal of such an award draws many students from Georgia to one of its’ 35 public universities.

“If I didn’t get into UGA, I would be in trouble,” said Jake Spencer, a fresh-man undeclared major from Woodstock. “I got into an out of state one and a pretty expensive one. Georgia was pretty cheap because I got in-state and HOPE.”

The diminishing economy is certain-ly the primary factor in the spike in tuition over the years and it is only pro-jected to increase, as the University needs more funding that the state is unable to provide.

“The new apartments being built on Oconee Street won’t affect us much because it is not in close proximity with our apartment complex,” Brewer said.

Girtz said student may find there are many benefits to living in apart-ments located downtown.

“There are environmental benefits in being close to campus such as reduced admission from cars,” Girtz said. “And benefits for existing down-town area residents as new commer-cial enterprises come to the area.”

Chris Buckley, a senior finance major from Kennesaw, lives at the Polo Club on Barnett Shoals and said he enjoys the apartment complex.

“It’s really cheap for what you get,” Buckley said. “I only pay $300 a

month…The apartment comes com-pletely furnished with a decent size flat screen TV and internet.”

But despite his opinion on Polo Club apartments, Buckley said he would like to live in one of the new housing complexes being built down-town.

“I think living downtown would be a fun experience because there are so many places to go to and just enjoy the atmosphere,” Buckley said.

Girtz said a higher supply of down-town apartments may increase demand for housing complexes closer to campus.

“With 1000 to 1500 bedrooms being built, there will certainly be a dimin-ished demand for housing outside the close proximity to campus,” Girtz said.

Radon, though an odorless and tasteless gas, kills thousands across the country. High radon levels in households cause thousands of lung cancer deaths annually.

As part of National Radon Action Month, University of Georgia students and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences Cooperative Extension inform the community about risks of excessive radon exposure. Through the UGA Radon Education Program, more peo-ple are becoming aware of what they can do to prevent harm.

“The radioactive gas still kills more Americans every year than drunk driving,” said Juliana Merritt Melancon, the Public Relations Coordinator in the Office of Inform Technology, in a

news report. “It is the most common cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and causes about 21,000 deaths a year.”

The problem with this lethal gas is the ease with which it can enter homes.

Allison Tackett, a 27-year-old Athens resident, died of lung cancer in Nov. 2012 after being diagnosed in late 2011. The Tackett family, along with Free to Breathe Athens, continues to inform people about the dangers of radon.

Since its creation in April 2003, the UGA Radon Education program has had over 73,000 students and adults participate in work-shops and presenta-tions.

The confetti has settled and the holidays have come to an end. Millions of resolu-tions were made and now, two weeks

later, where do those resolutions stand?People create their lists of New Year’s res-

olutions with good intentions, fantasizing about their soon-to-be perfect self. As the days get busy again and the year becomes hectic these resolutions are thrown aside, however, forgotten until next year.

So here is a small reminder to stick to those resolutions and follow through with your plan for 2013.

The best way to accomplish your resolu-tions is to have a plan. Outline exactly how you will achieve your New Year’s resolutions and then hold yourself accountable.

If it is your intention to lose a few pounds or get back in shape this year then do it, but don’t leave it up to your own self-motivation. Find a friend, a program or a team that can keep you accountable.

It is easy to join the hoards of overly-zeal-ous students flooding to Ramsey the first few

weeks of school, all with the intention of ful-filling their own resolutions. This group, as determined as they seem in their brand new workout clothes and updated iPods, will soon lose interest in sticking to their resolution.

Whatever your New Year’s resolutions are, don’t let them become distant intentions that you remember only hazily next New Year’s. Accomplish what you set out to do by creat-ing a plan and staying accountable to it.

Accountability key to successful resolutions

On New Year’s Day, once you probably lifted your head from the first (and most likely worst) hangover of 2013

and ate seven portions of bacon and eggs, it’s time to reflect on what you want for the new year ahead.

I have made the common mistake of aim-ing a bit too high in my new year's resolutions: run a marathon, sleep at least eight hours a night. But every year, as if by clockwork, after my first exam and my realization that $1.99 queso at Barberitos is more satisfying than a one mile run in the cold, I forget about my lofty resolutions and continue on as a lazy and bitter student at UGA.

That’s why 2013 is a new year to be hon-est with our terrible selves and make a few practical resolutions.

To start off, there is no such thing as watching one episode on Netflix. If there is a test the next day, for the love of your GPA, starting the first season of Dexter is the equivalent of setting fire to your class notes. Five hours later you'll find yourself live tweet-ing who you think the killer is, having long forgotten that 25 percent of your final grade rests on memorizing twenty verb conjugations in Spanish. In 2013, I suggest you save your Netflix hibernation until after you have com-pleted your exam.

Second, it’s time to recognize that waking up fifteen minutes before class will never work. I understand that pressing the snooze button is too easy when snuggled up in the warm heaven of your bed, and I also under-stand the math: fifteen minutes affords you just enough time to launch yourself from bed and make a mad dash to class.

But let’s be honest: our brains are terrible things. Just as our waking hour nears, our brains decide to remind us that kids our age need eight to nine hours of sleep to lead happy and healthy lifestyles. So with that health argument easing our consciences, we roll over and sleep through lecture. That is dumb and needs to end this year.

Finally, do not take your credit card downtown. With plastic in hand, it’s easy to turn into the Monopoly Man, buying drinks for all your friends. The sad truth is that everyone is treating you like a king only because you are their next rum and Coke. While you may just want everyone to have a great time, maxing out your credit card on well shots leads to sad, sad mornings after. In 2013, I suggest taking cash only downtown to do what parents call “budgeting”.

Of course, none of my resolutions are as inspiring as deciding to volunteer more, mak-ing straight A’s or putting money into savings, but they might at least make it into March.

Before the glitz, glamour and gaudiness of modern news reporting, there was the simple desire to serve one’s community.

Efforts by journalists of such high caliber as Walter Cronkite, Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein and the University of Georgia’s own Conrad Fink emphasize the importance of the press as a public service.

Of course, not everyone can be a world-renown journalist. There is a real and urgent need for local journalism, and on the University level, student journalism.

That’s where The Red & Black comes in: we are here to serve you, the student, alumni and administration community of the University of Georgia.

In accord with our goal of serving the University community even better this spring semester, we are making the following additions to our interaction with the community:

As always, The Red & Black seeks to engage our audience, with the hope of providing more relevant and accurate coverage to the people we serve. It is our mission to provide an open dialogue with the public and to extend the same critical eye to our own product as we do with the subjects we cover.

Every New Year, mil-lions of people create lists of resolutions that they wish to complete by the end of the year.

These resolutions range from doing laundry more frequently to going for a run every day. Some of the most popular reso-lutions include drinking less alcohol, losing weight and, for college students, not procrasti-nating, going to class every day and earning a certain GPA.

While all of these are reasonable goals, most people abandon their lists of resolutions after January. Why is that?

It seems to me that the minute you slack off and give up on one of the resolutions on your list, you are more likely to give up on the rest of them.

New Year’s resolu-tions are incredibly easy to break, and if you have nothing to motivate you toward success then you are bound to abandon your resolutions. Resolutions encourage people to make goals without telling people how to achieve and stick to those goals. If people have nothing to keep them focused and moti-vated, then their goals will become nothing more than a self-help list.

To use an example, there are many whose resolution is to lose weight, but sometimes it is just too cold outside to go to the gym or you are too busy not doing your homework to go to the gym, so you stay inside gaining back the calories you lost the previous day.

I am guilty of doing just that and, in my opin-ion, this happens because people lack the proper incentives. People need incentives to keep them motivated, whether their goal is to go to the gym or turn in their homework on time.

New Year’s resolu-tions do not provide peo-ple with any such incen-tives. Instead, resolutions have become most bene-ficial for businesses and producers selling new tennis shoes and gym memberships.

Until we realize this truth, we will be at the mercy of a system that encourages failure, and will continue to abandon resolutions after the first month of every new year.

With the fiscal cliff victory in hand, President

Obama is now turning to gun control measures. These measures will probably enjoy public support, but the President has yet to explain how his favorite fixes would be effective.

The most obvious reason for his push is the Sandy Hook school shooting, but their pro-posed platform would have done little to pre-clude it. Nancy Lanza was a model citizen, and any sort of database would only indicate that she was a gun enthusi-ast.

Increasing mental health checks sounds reasonable, but how far is the administration willing to go? Outright commitment to an insane asylum would have kept Adam Lanza from killing 27 people, but this is not something the administration has even touched upon.

The expansion of “gun-free zones” would have had no effect on the Sandy Hook shooting, as a homicidal killer is unlikely to forego a planned shooting because his weapons are not allowed.

Perhaps the creation of a national gun registry could help keep track of people who buy guns, but this, of course, is something Democrats are not eager to talk about.

The Left is simply more interested in expanding government control over our lives instead of frankly admit-ting what would need to be done to restrict access to guns.

majoring in political science

Baseball great Yogi Berra’s famous quote, “It ain’t

over until it’s over,” has resonated with Americans in their pur-suit of happiness. Sadly, Berra’s once-hopeful quip is all too relevant to the political catfight known as the fiscal cliff.

The fiscal cliff, to review, was a series of spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2013; the cuts were mostly an accumulation of legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama in 2010 and 2011. Then, at the end of 2012, Congress and the President opposed these fiscal reforms and tried desperately to get rid of them.

Got that? Congress and the President hate what the same Congress and the same President did during the past two years. Seems logical — to mid-

dle-schoolers, at least.Sadly, for us adults,

this Pennsylvania Avenue game of chicken is not just a petty quib-ble to be cast aside; it has deleterious conse-quences for the econo-my at large, and it isn’t nearly resolved.

Washington will be back at it again in February, when the mandated sequester kicks back in.

On top of that, the United States will hit its statutory debt ceil-ing some time around the end of February.

Thus, we’ll have two more annoying rounds of political cir-cus between now and spring break.

Ultimately, the most frustrating part

about this whole fiasco is that the grossly dys-functional cesspool of ego known as Washington has such extraordinary influence on our economy.

Why must our econ-omy be so closely teth-ered to Congress? I dearly wish we could liberate our economy more and cast aside the petty games politicians play. Put Congress in a sandbox and let them throw sand in each oth-er’s eyes while the rest of America continues to work hard in pursuit of their own happiness.

It is incessantly repeated that col-lege is a time of change. Before entering the University, I’d heard

so many tales of political conversion that I became convinced that I had to fight tooth and nail to retain my conservative social values lest I morph into a dreadlocked hippie who reeked of discontent and stale weed.

And my pre-college fears didn’t turn out to be completely unwarrant-ed. Three years later, my social values have indeed shifted from far-right to firmly left of center, though I am still a firm supporter of shampoo. I didn’t realize the extent of my change, how-ever, until I attended a church back home in Savannah.

Last Sunday the disparities between my identity as a feminist and my identity as Christian were cast under a spotlight, ultimately leading to my abrupt departure from the sermon of a large and popular church. I’m not particularly proud of what I did; I don’t prize theatrics and I certainly don’t make a habit of storming out of religious worship ser-vices. But I take some solace in knowing I didn’t leave the sanctuary to make a theatrical point as much as I did to halt the 43-minute beating of my sanity. I had no desire to proudly scream “I AM WOMYN” to the mountaintops. Instead, I was frustrated, fuming and resembled a cherry tomato in Sunday best.

The preacher began with a “I know a lot of people in the media may find this politically incorrect, but.. ” — which is a statement that always precludes a fun and happy time — and proceeded to attribute the destruction of the American fami-ly to feminism.

“As I watch Christmas specials set in the ‘50s, I can’t help but think that it was America’s Golden Age.” He explained that this was because the ‘50s occurred before feminism could take root, and then cited the rising number of single-parent house-holds, divorce rates and latchkey kids as evidence to support his claim that feminism is the devil’s work.

“The man is the leader, the breadwinner, the head of the house-hold. It is a woman’s role to support, to watch the children. Men are being made to look like buffoons in the media, and it’s due to feminism. Even in the Christian community, divorce rates are rising. What happened to

the Christian family?”It’s at that point I walked out.

My reaction was basically a “wait, what?” during the entire tirade, espe-cially at his claim that the pre-femi-nist era was America’s supposed Golden Age. The ‘50s just happened to coincide with segregation and anti-miscegenation laws, but it’s no big deal — everything was great because women cooked and cleaned and made lots of white babies and stuff!

Feminism doesn’t cause single motherhood. Feminism doesn’t cause divorces. Maybe restricted access to contraception does; maybe lack of compromise does. But feminism doesn’t. However, conservative lead-ers, both religious and political, need a scapegoat for these offenses and thus turn to feminism. This is why I’m hesitant to say I vote for certain Republican candidates. Though I cast my vote in favor of their fiscal policies, I cannot justify their social values and their anti-feminism. And this is why I’m hesitant to go to church at times. Apparently, many of my ideas and values are causing the death of society as we know it.

I know it’s not fair to lump all Christian denominations into one group. There are plenty of churches that are nothing like mine. But there are also many churches that are, and some even more conservative and outspoken. Their values are also reflected in many Republican plat-forms, where social and economic values are tightly intertwined. It seems I can hardly do anything with-out contradicting myself. As a young woman, a feminist, a science student, an aspiring doctor, a fiscal conserva-tive, a social liberal, a Christian and a voting U.S. citizen — is reconciliation truly possible? Am I justified or am I damned? I’d just like to know.

The Fourth of July: a holiday revered for its barbecues, patri-otism and association with

treasured summertime traditions. But more important than the red, white and blue bunting that dons every self-respecting American’s patio is the overriding theme of freedom — of independence. That day in 1776 marked a new era for an independent nation, and the season of warm weather often brings with it an air of personal independence from the tyr-anny of schoolwork.

Now let’s fast-forward to early August. Campus is bustling with activity and Rush week is coming to an end. Upon students’ final declara-tions of Greek affiliation, the term “independent” — which only a few weeks earlier was the topic of many Jim Beam-fueled chants — takes on a whole new meaning.

Sure, there is still whiskey or bourbon involved when it is shouted from the bed of a truck at any pedes-trian walking down Baxter without Greek letters on their shirt pocket, but the preceding “god damn” makes the term sound much less appealing.

If the condescending tone of the label “GDI” isn’t harsh enough, the stigma that accompanies the term does the trick. The 1984 classic “Revenge of the Nerds” created what may inaccurately be considered the textbook GDI, and non-Greeks have fought the image ever since.

But despite the negative conno-tation, I cannot comprehend why “independent” is an insult. My good pals Merriam and Webster suggest the main requirement to be “indepen-dent” is to be “not subject to control by others; self-governing.”

Sounds all right to me.More interestingly, I quickly

learned in my few months at UGA that GDI is not the direct inverse of

Greek affiliation. Although my Greek friends are loyal to their respective groups, they didn’t seem to appreci-ate when I asked how they were enjoying dependence. I only assumed that, since they enjoyed alienating me for my independence, they want-ed me to take interest in their group’s existence.

I was wrong. After a few more blunders I finally figured it out. Apparently referring to frat boys as “god damn dependents” doesn't get you invited back to parties.

“It’s brotherhood, not depen-dence,” one told me through gritted teeth.

I wasn’t going to argue; I can’t say I know enough about the social interactions within a particular fra-ternity or sorority to pass judgement. In fact, I support those who seek brotherhood or sisterhood, whatever that entails.

But for myself, I quite enjoy being notoriously independent. Of all the terrible things I could be called, independent is not one of them. Every time someone refers to me as a god damn independent I smile just a bit, knowing that I am — at least in my metaphoric little mind — joining the ranks of George Washington and the other great independents that helped form our nation.

Mona collapsed and died in a behind the scenes enclosure of Zoo Atlanta on Jan. 2.

Her approximately 2,000-pound body arrived at the University of Georgia for dissec-tion the next day.

On Jan. 4, Zoo Atlanta released a statement announcing that preliminary data from UGA’s Zoo and

Exotic Animal Pathology Service nec-ropsy found that Mona, a 7-year-old giraffe, died of internal bleeding — possibly resulting from a fall.

“A necropsy is the same basically as what they call an autopsy on a human,” said Rita McManamon, director of the Zoo and Exotic Animal Pathology Service, a program in the Veterinary College of Medicine.

But McManamon said the preliminary results are only the beginning of an inten-sive process to find the exact reason behind Mona’s death.

“The same thing occurs for any animal for any size,” she said. “We just take a very sys-tematic approach to it...That involves look-ing at it grossly by tak-ing the external areas and also looking at the internal organs. Then we also take sections just like you see on CSI or what you see on NCIS or any of those other things.”

McManamon said the preliminary findings of internal bleeding were found during the gross — or “big level” — portion of the exam-ination, but the team had yet to complete the histopathological — or microscopic — portion of the necropsy, which could lead to additional findings, additional tests and, ultimately, additional waiting.

“As a general rule, you can generally say that with large animals it’s going to take 2 to 3 months, usually at least 2 months, to get through everything,” she said. “You know for humans they do the same thing. Sometimes, they give you a prelimi-nary for people, but a lot of times a final result with all those laborato-ry tests might take quite a bit of time.”

While the additional tests might mean Mona’s adoring public has to wait a while lon-ger for official closure of her death, McManamon said each test is neces-sary for Zoo Atlanta to put together “the jigsaw puzzle” cause of Mona’s passing.

“Ultimately, we pathologists are a part of the team and the [Zoo Atlanta] veterinar-ian that is in charge of the case has to put it together like a jigsaw puzzle,” she said. “What the history was, what was seen there and all those individual find-ings. Obviously, if there was a heart arrhythmia or something, that’s not going to show up in a tissue [test].”

While McManamon works with the clinician from Zoo Atlanta to piece together the find-ings into a final cause of death, she said it is ulti-mately up to the client to make the final cause of death call.

It is also up to the client to release any information regarding the dead animal. Under state law, McManamon

could not discuss Mona or details from her nec-ropsy with The Red & Black.

“I’ll put it in context of your own dog,” she said. “If you have your own pet, you don’t nec-essarily want other peo-ple knowing what you do with your own ani-mals. It’s not a secret, it’s just a respect for the individual animals and the clients that are working with the University of Georgia. I give my best informa-tion, but all information on a particular case must come through the client, Zoo Atlanta.”

The Red & Black received a written state-ment from Zoo Atlanta Director of Veterinary Services Hayley Murphey, but after call-ing approximately five times could not reach her for comment on either Mona’s case or general giraffe behavior and life expectancy.

Giraffes live an aver-age of 20 years, accord-ing to Zoo Atlanta’s website — 13 years lon-ger than Mona lived.

Christina Simmons, a manager at the San Diego Zoo, declined to comment on common ailments giraffes might experience, but told The Red & Black that giraffes which live in captivity typically die of

old age. Murphey wrote in

her statement that “Zoo animal care staff had not observed any out-ward signs of illness, injury or changes in Mona’s behavior prior to her death.”

But Simmons said Mona could have been sick even though her symptoms did not show to the care staff.

“The challenge with wild animals is that they don’t tell us when they’re not feeling well. In fact, they mask all their symptoms,” she said. “That’s normal for a wild animal. So when one does pass away suddenly you have to do some fact-finding and some hypothesizing.”

Giraffes live in “loose herds,” according to Zoo Atlanta’s website.

Mona’s herd consist-ed of male Abu, 7, Mona’s half-sister Glenda, 6, and Mona’s daughter Lily, who “con-tinue to adjust to the unexpected loss of a member of their herd.”

Simmons could not say for sure whether the herd could be feeling actual sadness at the loss of Mona, but said Lily, 1, has passed the normal weening age — meaning she should not have a problem living without her mother.

“[Giraffes] usually

care [for their young] until they’re weened,” Simmons said. “They’re usually weened by that time. Hooved animals don’t usually stay with their parents for a tre-mendously long amount of time and giraffes in particular; the young tend to move on to groups of youngsters and don’t stay with the adults. They move to solitude fairly quickly.”

Zoo Altanta could not be reached to com-ment on whether the herd is being specially monitored for behavior-al changes after Mona’s sudden death.

McManamon said necropsies performed on zoo animals poten-tially benefit the other animals contained with the deceased, in this case, Mona’d herd.

“In many of the zoo animals, we’re looking for not just that partic-ular animal’s problems, but how does it fits with all of the animals in cap-tivity and the animals in the wild,” she said. “It’s always sad to lose them, but it’s good to learn as much as we can because what we learn helps other animals. It’s part of serving the animals to do it right.”

UGA service works to determine mysterious death of giraffe

BY MEGAN ERNSt@megernst11

The theme of Tuesday’s Board of Regents meeting was stream-lining the University System of Georgia's operations.

The Board approved the alignment of the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography with the University of Georgia and approved four mergers of mem-ber institutions.

The Skidaway Institute, char-tered in 1967, has been under the responsibility of the University System of Georgia for over 40 years.

“The new alignment between the institute and the University will streamline operations and enhance the research efforts of both SkIO and UGA’s excellent

marine and coastal programs,” said Houston Davis, the University System’s chief aca-demic officer and executive vice chancellor, in a press release.

The alignment is supported by Savannah State University and Georgia Tech, which also conduct research at Skidaway.

The University System offi-cially also created four new insti-tutions through the consolida-tion of eight former institutions.

It also appointed interim presidents to these institutions.

With these mergers, Georgia Health Sciences University and Augusta State University formed Georgia Regents University, Macon State College and Middle Georgia College merged to cre-ate Middle Georgia State College, South Georgia College

and Waycross College created South Georgia State College and the merger of Gainesville State College and North Georgia College created the University of North Georgia.

“The board's actions repre-sent the culmination of a tre-mendous amount of work by many individuals, both on the campuses and at the System Office,” said University System Chancellor Hank Huckaby in a press release. “We identified the opportunity, did our homework and then moved quickly, but thoroughly, to follow through.’

The Red & Black was unable to contact Board of Regents spokesman John Millsaps for comment regarding the meeting.

A new semester means new class-es, new teachers — and new books. The Red & Black asked six University of Georgia students where they buy books for a new semester.

Whenever Jasmine Norton, a freshman sociology major from Athens, buys books, she visits the University of Georgia Bookstore.

“Two of [my books] I got from a classmate,” she said. “And then the rest of them from the [UGA] Bookstore.”

Anna Tarullo, a sophomore pre-journalism student from Louisville, Ky, said she also plans on utilizing the on-campus bookstore, mostly because she’s uncertain where else to go.

“I’m probably going to go to the UGA Bookstore,” she said. “I’m a transfer, so I don’t really know any-

where else.”But while the ease of the UGA

Bookstore draws junior Brooke Becker in, she said the on-campus store is not her first choice text-book purchasing destination.

“If I need them really quickly I buy them at the [UGA] Bookstore,” the management information systems and international affairs major from McDonough said. “But usually I buy them online.”

Other students said they usually resort to online shopping over the on-campus bookstore as well, mostly because of pricing differences.

“I’ve gone to Beat the Bookstore on Baxter, I’ve used Amazon, and I’ve rented from a couple sites...I just want to find them as cheap as I can,” said Alex Harnack, a junior accounting major from Marietta. “When I do it online I can rent a book for like half the price.”

Both senior Elizabeth Kaufman

and senior Evan Maag agree that web-sites like Amazon are usually the most cost-effective option.

“I usually go to Amazon. I’ve never gone to the off-campus stores,” said Kaufman, a history major from Lawrenceville. “I went to the UGA Bookstore when I was a freshman and didn’t know any better...I went through and did a [price] comparison the first couple of times, and they were consistent.”

Maag, an economics major from

Gainesville, added that online options could be almost as convenient as a trip to the bookstore with the added cost benefit.

“I order [my books] on Amazon because I have Amazon Prime, and they come in like two days,” he said. “The [UGA] Bookstore is consistently more expensive than online.”

Editor’s Note: This article is one of three in a series about how men-tal health issues affect the Athens community.

Mental illness is a fate sufferers don’t choose.

As students experi-ence the transitions of college life, many devel-op anxiety, depression or other mental disor-ders. Fortunately, sever-al resources offer help to them.

Musicians know Nuçi’s Space as a prac-tice spot.

But since it was founded in memory of student and suicide vic-tim Nuçi Phillips, the center has helped musi-cians struggling with mental illness.

Will Kiser, a coun-seling advocate at Nuçi’s, said it focuses on accessibility.

“We try to make it easy,” he said. “Everywhere else, if they’ve been looking for treatment, all they’ve run into were road-blocks, obstacles. We’re trying to take away those obstacles. When somebody needs help, let’s figure out a way to find that for them, instead of figuring out a way that they don’t qualify or something.”

The center hooks musicians up with area therapists at discount-ed rates by partially covering fees. Although Nuçi’s focuses on musi-cians, no one is turned away.

“Financially, we would love to be able to help everybody who came in the door,” Kiser said. “But if we can focus on musicians, it makes it a little bit more possible for us to actually get some work done. Everyone who comes to us, though, we help in some way or

another. I keep an updated list of other places in the communi-ty who do sliding scale.”

Two clinics with sliding fee scales are located on campus.

The Aspire clinic, part of the college of family and consumer sciences, helps clients with their finances, nutrition, home envi-ronment, legal prob-lems — and mental health.

“Our approach is really a holistic

approach,” Megan Ford, clinic coordinator, said. “We believe that prob-lems are so very much intertwined, and they interact with each other.”

Aspire was created by FACS faculty who saw a need for afford-able self-improvement services. It is run by graduate and Ph.D. stu-dents.

Ford said students get feedback from peers and supervisors.

“Sometimes, when

you’re more isolated or practicing within a community setting and not really interacting with colleagues or peers, you don’t get as much of that growth,” she said.

The psychology department houses another student-run clinic.

“Students are always part of practi-cum teams who are sort of following the cases, and they’re also inten-sively supervised by licensed clinical psy-chologists,” Anne Shaffer, clinic director, said. “The therapists here actually probably have more support than you might see other places because of the amount of supervision the students get.”

The Psychology Clinic has a good rela-tionship with other mental health treat-ment centers in the area, she said.

For instance, some students who seek help at the Psychology Clinic are referred there by Counseling and Psychiatric Services at the University Health

Center.CAPS treats short-

term concerns like anxi-ety, depression, adjust-ment disorders, psy-chotic disorders and more.

CAPS director Gayle Robbins said two age levels use CAPS the most. Freshmen often seek out the clinic when they have trouble adjusting to college life.

“I would love to have more first-semes-ter students because that means we’re get-ting them early enough that they’re not already struggling,” Robbins said. “We do see them in the second semester, unfortunately, because they have struggled to figure out where they fit in. They may feel isolat-ed. They may not be making it like they thought they would.”

Seniors also com-prise a large segment of CAPS patients.

“They’re really struggling with the real-ities of taking the next step into adulthood,” Robbins said. “There’s a lot of angst around that, and a lot of dis-tress that kind of trig-

gers a cascade of chem-icals, essentially, in their body, which then helps to manifest or bring forth some kind of underlying psycho-logical disorder.”

Robbins said men-tal illness is a result of a combination of genetic and environmental fac-tors, as well as social pressures.

“It is really critical to not think you can separate your mind from your body,” she said. “All those things mix together and cause an occurrence to take place. You can have a tremendous amount of genetic loading for schizophrenia or any disorder or bipolar dis-order and never devel-op it. There are so many ways to prevent it or make it less impact-ful in your life, and then there are ways that you can decide not to take care of it, essentially, and that will manifest itself in its more extreme and dramatic form.”

Versatile skirt fashions defies timecARMiNA tAYlOR

@zabmina

Our generation isn’t very original.We revamp decades-old styles

from the leggings and oversized T-shirts of the ’80s to the grunge look of the ’90s.

While I am not the biggest fan of these comebacks, one that catches my attention — and my credit card — is the maxi skirt.

Maxi skirts were originally popu-lar in the U.S. during the Hippie Counterculture Movement of the ’60s. They were mostly associated with hippie women and those who wanted to achieve a Bohemian look. This culture was known for caring for the environment, advocating for sus-tainability and other causes — any cause really, depending on the likes and dislikes of the person.

This style was most heavily seen during Woodstock 1969, where people from all over the nation gathered in one large, outdoor music festival. Even rock musician Janis Joplin wore the maxi skirt at Woodstock.

The maxi skirt has even older beginnings in the global community than the hippie counterculture.

The maxi skirt's Bohemian roots come from the Romani culture. This is apparent in Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame” when Esmeralda is seen always donning a maxi skirt, head scarf and tambourine.

Maxi skirts and peasant tops are commonly worn by Old World Romani women.

Today, the maxi skirt can be seen on college campuses, on stay-at-home mothers and on older elegant women as a casual daytime outfit.

The maxi skirt has become one of the most eclectic pieces of clothing in today’s fashion. It can be worn for day or night by dressing it up or down.

It is also accessible to people

from all walks of life, since many companies mass produce it. One can find it at Walmart for a bargain or on Polyvore from top designers.

The maxi skirt even takes the place of dresses at times to achieve a feminine, romantic look, shifting its association with the Bohemian and hippie cultures.

Almost every female can be seen wearing a maxi skirt at some point as the style has reached popularity regardless of whether they believe in Mother Earth or not.

As for me, I own four maxi skirts which I wear year-round. This may also contribute to its popularity.

Visit redandblack.com or come to the event to learn how!

Sophomore James Han, a Reed Hall resident, explains why University Housing is the best fit for his busy lifestyle.What made you decide to continue living on cam-pus? I chose to continue living on campus because it is an amazing way to be part of a community of people and meet friends. I am a really social person and being able to live with other residents and hav-ing those interactions with them has really made my college experience worthwhile.

What are the advantages to living in University Housing? One major advantage of living in University Housing is the convenience of being close to all of my classes. As a sociology and accounting double major, many of my classes are in north cam-pus. Living in Reed makes going to class much easi-er. Because University Housing is well distributed geographically, among campus, there are always housing options that let you live near all of your classes or your favorite dining hall.

What would you tell students younger than you how living on campus has shaped your college experience? Living as part of a community is single-handedly the reason why I have made so many friends in college. It exposes you to a lot and you are close to all of the action. There is always some-thing to do, whether it be RA programs, RHA pro-

grams, DAWGS after Dark, concerts or even just hanging out in your room with some friends. Living on campus keeps you in the center of the action while meeting some amazing people along

the way.

Have there been any specific moments or times when you’ve felt that living on campus was certain-ly the right decision? I don’t have to worry about rent, transportation, or having to find time to clean my bathroom during finals week. However, nothing compares to being able to go back to your room in between class and take those amazing mid-day naps. I usually have a gap between work and class and so having a place to be able to go back to for a 45-minute nap makes me feel so much more ener-gized and prepared for the day ahead.

How are you involved in your residential communi-ty? Living on campus and being involved in housing has really made my college experience. I started out by running for Payne hall council my freshman year and my experience in housing has branched out sig-nificantly from there. I now currently serve as the treasurer of the Residence Hall Association, the sec-ond largest organization on campus. I have also worked over the summer in 1516 as a conference host and I currently work as a desk assistant in Reed.

Any advice for returning residents? I would definite-ly recommend checking out the halls and going on tours. Each hall has its own personality, and finding the one that suits you the best is important!

Krysta Rowan, second-year biochemistry major, enjoys the security and conve-nience of University Housing.

What made you decide to continue living on campus?

I decided to continue liv-ing on campus to have a shorter commute to my classes and closer prox-imity to dining halls and buildings where meetings are held for the organiza-tions I am in. Also, to be around other students that are working on the same things I am, so that forming study groups is a lot easier. I can also join the hall council and have a say in planning pro-grams that are done in the residence halls.

What would you tell students younger than you how living on campus has shaped your college experience? I have developed a better sense of what it is like to have to be more considerate of others than I did while living at home before college, which helped me develop ways of meeting new people and becoming more social with the girls that lived on my hall.

Have there been any specific moments or times when you’ve felt that living on campus was certain-ly the right decision? I have definitely had many moments that I have felt that living on campus was the right choice. For example, if I wake up late for class because my alarm clock wasn’t set, I can to just hop on a bus and get to class on time. Also, if I need to study with some people, we can meet in the Miller Learning Center and study until we understand the information instead of having to stop studying to catch a bus off campus. Eating late without cooking or eating junk food is easy because I am within walking distance of Snelling Dining Hall. Being able to live on campus has afforded me the opportunity to join organizations and not have to worry about how I will get back to my apartment, who’s going with me, or if anyone will able to walk back with me or drop me off.

How are you involved in your residential communi-ty? I have been involved with my residential com-munity since my first year at UGA when I was an eighth floor hall rep for Brumby. That experience helped me learn how to communicate with people who sometimes have differing opinions and ways of dealing with situations. This year I am the RHA (Resident Hall Association) representative for Reed Hall. I absolutely love being a part of the decision making process that goes on to make prograxms put on by the community or hall council possible.

As we move into spring semester, don’t forget to secure your space in University Housing for the fall! Returning resident sign-up is happening NOW. Take these simple steps to ensure you will stay in the best student housing in town:

1. Attend an info session to learn about everything University Housing offers

2. Log on to the Dawg House by January 27 and request to participate in room sign-up

3. Follow the steps listed at http://housing.uga.edu/returning-resident and watch for emails to your UGA account about your status

As the semester comes to an end, it is time to get excit-ed about on-campus housing for next year beginning with fall 2013! If you are a parent of a current first-year student, please note this process is different from the initial housing registration process; more information can be found at housing.uga.edu/returning-resident. Missing a deadline may negatively affect the type of housing available to your student. To the right is a checklist to help your student keep on track!

November – DECEMBER Pre-Plan: Students should think about which hall they want to live in and with whom. Research hall information at housing.uga.edu/residence/tour to see floor plans and rent rates. Your student may select up to three roommates.

December 3, 2012-January 27, 2013 Opt to Participate: Be sure your student indi-cates interest to partici-pate. Students have until the January 27 deadline to add/remove roommates—be sure your student and each of his/her preferred roommates have complet-ed steps online in The Dawg House and received a confirmation email. Missing the January 27 deadline may result in a significant loss in priority.

January 30, 2013 Round One: As long as your stu-dent indicated interest by January 27, housing will send an email to indicate if he/she has been selected for round one of sign-up. If so, a $100 non-refundable sign-up fee is due by February 10 on the student account. (If not selected —don’t worry! Skip down to Waiting List for details.)

February 10, 2013 Pay the Fee: Does your student have any outstanding bills with Student Accounts? Today is the payment deadline for the non-refundable $100 sign-up fee for those selected for round one!

February 13, 2013 Sign-Up Begins: Sign-up continues

through February 15—students selected for round one and have paid the non-refundable $100 sign-up fee will be emailed specific instructions. Make sure your student follows those instructions and does not miss his/her chance to select a room! If your student misses round one he/she will have to be added to the waiting list.

February 25, 2013 Housing Contracts Due: Call your student to make sure the online housing contract is exe-cuted and that he/she received a confirmation email. Each roommate must also execute their contract by the deadline.

Waiting List If your student was not selected for Round One of room sign-up then s/he will automatically be

added to the waiting list. Rounds 2-9 of room sign-up will take place over the months of February, March and April. Students on the waiting list will be able to select an on-campus space as other students cancel out (by not paying the sign-up fee, not selecting a room or not executing an online housing contract). Status on the waiting list is usually updated once a week; in past years we have been able to offer everyone on the wait-ing list a chance to select a room.

Have questions? You may find a lot more detailed infor-mation online at University Housing’s Web site. In addi-tion, we will host information sessions across campus in January. Places and times are available at housing.uga.edu/returning-resident

With National Signing Day approach-ing on Feb. 6, former Georgia defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator Rodney Garner now aims to sway pros-pects toward a Southeastern Conference rival.

Garner, who also served as Georgia’s assistant head coach, accepted a job at Auburn in December to serve as assistant head coach and defensive line coach on Gus Malzahn’s staff. In his 15-year tenure at Georgia, Garner helped develop the Bulldogs’ defensive line as well as bring in some of the nation’s top defensive recruits.

Many of Garner’s prized recruits have come from inner parts of Atlanta, the most recent example being Georgia cornerback Branden Smith. FOX Sports recruiting analyst Chad Simmons credits Garner’s success in the inner city to the amount of work he puts in there.

“He has got a lot of good players,” Simmons said. “That is just an area where he has spent a lot of time and he has had a hand in the recruiting there.”

Garner played his college football at Auburn where he was named to the All-SEC offensive team in 1988. Garner later served as the Tigers’ recruiting coordina-tor, tight ends coach and assistant strength and conditioning coach from 1990 to 1995.

“With him being an Auburn alum, you cannot take that out of a guy,” Simmons said. “He still loves Auburn.

BY EliZABETH GRimslEY@AllFlippedOut

Brittany Rogers owns many unique skills for a colle-giate gymnast.

Since the freshman was an elite gymnast in Canada, she has a large repertoire of skills to pick and choose from.

“I think she has a nice bag of tricks,” Georgia head coach Danna Durante said. “That usually happens when you come from the elite world because you do have all of these skills that you need to have.”

She even has a skill named after her called “The Rogers.”

To get a skill named after you in gymnastics, you must compete it at a World or Olympic Championship and submit it to the International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG).

The skill is a back hand-spring to a one-armed hand-stand facing sideways on the beam with her legs both bent in the double-stag position.

However, at the season opener against Oklahoma, Rogers only performed a vari-ation of her skill — a hand-stand with two arms instead of just one.

Nevertheless, the fans were impressed.

“In the competition when

everyone wowed in the crowed,” Rogers said. “I’m pretty sure I was in hand-stand and had the hugest smile on my face.”

Rogers said she hopes to incorporate her own skill into her routine and wow the crowd even more.

“I’ve just got to get it con-sistent and not screw up on it,” Rogers said. “Then I’ll put it in my routine and hopefully wow them even more. And it’ll probably put an even bigger smile on my face upside down.”

It’s unusual for a fresh-man to have this much of an effect after only one meet.

But Rogers said she likes to stand out.

“The Rogers” isn’t the only impressive skill in her bag of tricks, as she performs other unorthodox moves on every event.

Most of the time, teams use the same routines over and over again because those are the skills that are easy and give the best result.

“I think it helps me stand out,” Rogers said. “Then peo-ple research me and find, ‘Oh, she’s from Canada. Oh, she’s a freshman. Oh, she’s an Olympian.’ It all kind of adds up, and it’s really cool that I can have those special skills.”

However, sometimes hav-ing so many skills can be a

hindrance, but Durante said Rogers has learned to balance it well.

“It is about making that distinction between every-thing in the kitchen sink in the elite world and being able to step out of bounds or miss a skill and still score high ver-sus college where everything you do needs to be exactly on top and clean and perfect form,” Durante said. “It’s more about preciseness ver-sus the amount.”

Not only has finding the balance been difficult but merely settling into college life as well.

However, Rogers said she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I’m one to kind of get the ball rolling as soon as I get here,” Rogers said. “I think if I would have gotten here in the fall semester, it would have been a different story, would have been slower adjusting and my first competition may not have gone as well. Right now I’m fresh and quick. It’s a really fast adjustment, but I’m loving it so far.”

Senior Shayla Worley said that Rogers’ arrival has upped the competition in the gym for spots in the lineup.

“She’s been a real breath of fresh air,” Worley said.

Speaking publicly for his first time since announcing his decision to stay, Aaron Murray joked with the media about his long-tenured career as a Bulldog.

“You all can’t get rid of me yet,” Murray said

Murray announced he would return for a redshirt senior year via Twitter on Sunday night. The tweet ended a season-long debate about the future of the Georgia’s beloved quarterback.

To Murray, however, his future was never really in doubt.

“I pretty much knew all along deep down inside that I wanted to come back,” Murray said. “Obviously, I didn’t want to base my decision off of emotion. I really wanted to let that SEC game go by a little bit before I really made my decision.”

The 45-31 Capital One Bowl victory over Nebraska gave him the needed sepa-ration between the disappointing SEC Championship Game loss and his decision whether or not to go pro.

“It was great to get a win and then write down the pros and cons of staying and leaving,” Murray said. “I talked to my parents, I talked to some of other people that I know that I knew had my best inter-est at hand. At the end of the day, I still felt deep down inside that I needed to come back for another year.”

One of Murray’s mentors throughout the decision process was one of his biggest NFL Draft stock supporters — former Colts head coach Tony Dungy, who said the Chiefs should draft Murray with the No. 1 overall pick.

“I talked to guys like Coach Dungy, obviously we’re very close,” Murray said.

“She really has come in on her game and driven that natural competition amongst our team to do your best and compete for your spot in the lineup, which is super healthy for any team.”

Coming from Canada, things were bound to be different for Rogers, but she said that the main dif-ference is between elite gymnastics and college.

“The training is very different,” Rogers said. “After the first day, I was dead. I could not get off my couch. It’s just so compact, and being with the team, you’re always cheering people on and have support with you. Being in elite, you’re more individual, and you care more about yourself. You’re not looking around the gym; you just care what you’re doing.”

Worley said she’s impressed with how Rogers competed in her first meet.

“I’m just really proud of how she did this first meet,” Worley said. “Coming out of here new to the team, new to the environment and new to

the whole team concept.”Although it’s differ-

ent, Rogers said she enjoys the team aspect and was ready for a change.

“Here I really like being with the team because I know they have my back no matter what,” Rogers said. “I can sup-port them as well. It’s less selfish with this type of gymnastics, and I’m really ready for that.”

BY ELIZABETH GRIMSLEY@AllFlippedOut

On Jan. 11, the No. 11 Georgia gymnastics team will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., to take on No. 12 Arkansas. There is still a lot of work to be done in the gym.

“We obviously need to work on floor,”

Georgia head coach Danna Durante said. “My message across the board is it’s not that we don’t know how to tum-ble, and it’s not that we don’t know how to land our passes.”

At their first meet of the season, the Gym Dogs were in the lead after three rotations but were forced to count two falls on floor

to end the meet. Senior Shayla Worley said she isn’t worried about the slow start on the event as it normally takes time to become consis-tent.

“After the meet, I think it was pretty obvi-ous that floor was a weak event for us,” Worley said. “I think that’s really typical at this time of the year for our team, and it has been in the past. Floor is something that gen-erally comes around a little bit slower. I don’t think it’s anything we really need to freak out about.”

Durante said that the problems came, not because of a lack of skill, but a lack in confi-dence.

“It was learning how to compete all the way through the meet,” Durante said. “So really just working on taking that energy from event to event and making sure that we compete all out on every event confidently and aggres-sively.”

To help build the athletes’ confidence this week, the team will be doing several num-bers and working on avoiding bad habits.

“I think part of building their confi-dence is numbers, but you can also do too many,” Durante said. “Some also have some old habits that take some time to change. We’ve been working on that a lot throughout the year, but we saw a few on Saturday creep back in.”

The Gym Dogs will also keep working hard to earn a spot in the lineup because the six gymnasts chosen to compete may change from week to week.

“I feel like I need to work as much as any-one else does to get into the lineup,” freshman Brittany Rogers said. “I’m so excited for train-ing today to just get in there and work hard and be in lineup for next week.”

Although the oppo-nent will change, the

team won’t prepare any differently for the com-petition.

“Ultimately, it really doesn’t matter what that other team is doing — we’re not preparing an offense for their defense — it’s about us doing our best gymnas-tics,” Durante said.

Worley said a gym-nast’s approach must be the same, no matter the opponent.

“I don’t think that it matters where we are or who we’re competing against,” Worley said. “We’re going to

approach it with the same mentality and same goals.”

Rogers said that “anything can happen,” so she tried not to set any expectations for herself or the meet.

“I can’t set any expectations because it’s different for every-one,” Rogers said. “You can’t predict the kind of day you’ll have.”

The Razorbacks may be ranked behind the Gym Dogs at No. 12, but that doesn’t mean it will be an easy task defeating them.

“They’re ranked No. 12 right behind us, but just like I feel like we’re better than No. 11, they’re probably better than No. 12,” Durante said. “[Head coaches] Mark [Cook] and René [Lyst] built the pro-gram from the ground up and made it to Super Six in four years. So you know that they’re well coached, and they’re going to be well pre-pared.”

Gym Dog to miss time due to broken thumb

search: thumb ››

BY ELIZABETH GRIMSLEY@AllFlippedOut

Georgia gymnast Noel Couch is out with a broken thumb.

The senior hurt her thumb a few days before the opening meet of the season against Oklahoma.

Although Couch is injured, the recovery time is short, according to Georgia head coach Danna Durante.

“With vault and floor being mainly palm impact events,” Durante said. “She should be back much quicker.”

Beam and bars will take longer to be back to full strength because of the need to grip the apparatus.

“We pretty much need her only on vault and floor, to relieve Chelsea [Davis] a bit with her knee,” Durante said. “It should be a couple weeks until we start easing her back in.”

Davis had surgery on her knee during preseason workouts.

She competed on vault and bars in the opener.

Some of the struggles the Gym Dogs had against Oklahoma could have come from Couch’s absence — a regular in the all-around.

“It plays a little bit of a factor, but we had backups,” junior Lindsey Cheek said. “We really can’t rely on that. We’re going to get her back, and that’s all we’re looking towards.”

Couch had competed the all around in a school-record 28-straight meets for the Gym Dogs before having to sit out against Oklahoma.

Couch declined to comment on the situation until after her first meet back.

➤ From Page 1 “We talked more about

reasons to stay. You only get to be in college one time, to enjoy this time, to enjoy being the starting quarterback of an SEC school and there is room for improvement and to move up and improve my draft stock.”

Murray received feedback from another one of football’s familiar faces, someone who has some experience mentoring college quarterbacks on NFL decisions — Archie Manning.

“I spoke to him about it,” Murray said. “We spoke about what Eli [Manning] and Peyton [Manning] did when they had to make their decision of coming back or staying, so that was a great talk with him.”

Many believed that a low draft stock may have led to the Georgia quarterback’s final decision. Murray said that he liked the comments he got back from the NFL, but knew there was more to be done.

“I definitely looked into that. I liked what my grade was, and I talked to other people, as well,” Murray said. “I feel like I still have a lot of improvement to make as a quarterback. There’s some areas that I still feel I need to continue to develop.”

The aspect of his game that Murray is interested in developing, however, might surprise people.

“The base area is my mobility. When I got here, I tried to stress so much about being a pocket passer and staying in the pocket, and making my reads,” Murray said. “There’s nothing wrong with that.

But when things do break down, just take off. Get up in the pocket, get out of there and get as many yards as I can.”

He then poked fun at himself, and another adjustment that could be made to improve his NFL future.

“Hopefully somehow I grow another two inches,” Murray said. “That would be great. I’m not worried about where I get drafted next season, you play a dangerous game when you’re worried about that.”

Murray embraced his unique chance to maintain the role of Georgia’s signal-

caller for four seasons, hinting at the ups and downs of the Bulldog program since his arrival.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to be a four-year starter. It’s a rare thing to be able to start four years, especially at a big time SEC school,” Murray said. “I’m definitely blessed to have that opportunity. I’m just excited about our team next year. We’ve grown so much over these past two seasons and we’ve been able to put Georgia back on the map.”

With his senior season on the horizon, Murray has the opportunity to break

several SEC and NCAA records, and in some cases, further extend records that he already holds. However, those won’t be the focus of the 2013-2014 season for Murray.

“It would definitely be cool to have those records,” Murray said. “But, I’m a guy who has based my time here, so I want to win championships. That’s my goal. To accomplish all of that in one year, that would be a lot of fun.”

Georgia will be hiring another Bulldog to replace longtime defensive line coach Rodney Garner, who will be taking his talents to Auburn next year.

But this Bulldog is coming from Mississippi State.

Chris Wilson will be coming over from Starkville, Miss., to coach Georgia’s front three after accepting the offer on Friday night. Richt announced the official hire on Wednesday.

“Chris is a tremendous teacher, outstanding recruiter, mentor and brings a wealth of knowledge in coaching the defensive line to our program,” Richt said. “He has an extensive background not only as a position coach but also as a coordina-tor and is a very solid fit with what we do on defense.”

Wilson took over as Mississippi State’s defensive coordinator in 2011 after spending the 2010 season as co-defensive coordinator. In 2011, his unit ranked No. 15 in the country against the run, and No. 17 in tackles for loss.

In 2012, Wilson’s defense faltered, finishing No. 58 in total defense.

Before his stint at Mississippi State, he coached the defensive ends at Oklahoma — his alma mater — and also served as its special teams coor-dinator from 2007-09.

Prior to Oklahoma, he was the defensive line coach at Colorado from 2000-04, and held the same position at Illinois State from 1998-99.

“Our family is excited to have the opportunity of coaching at one of the top institutions in college football,” Wilson said. “I’m looking forward to being part of the Georgia program and putting all our energy and effort into winning games and champion-ships which I know is the goal of all those in the Georgia football family.”

After some discussions with football legends Tony Dungy and Archie Manning, Murray came to the realization that he wasn't quite ready to leave college. c.B. SchmEltEr/Staff

He played there, he went to school there and he met his wife there so he has a lot of ties at Auburn.”

Garner’s recruiting skills have landed Georgia’s program among the nation’s best in the past. Those skills also landed Garner’s name in the middle of discussions about job openings at LSU, Auburn and Tennessee. However, Garner managed to serve only Georgia until recently.

“Anytime you get a chance to be in his shoes, you go back home and coach the school you once attend-ed,” Simmons said. “I think he is going to bring a lot of energy and a lot of knowledge.

It is like playing for your family.”

There is still time for Garner’s move to Auburn to affect the decisions of Georgia prospects. One major example is Dooly County defensive line-man Montravius Adams. Adams is ranked as one of the nation’s top players at his position.

“I think he [Garner] immediately put Auburn back in the game for a kid like Montravius Adams,” Simmons said. “Montravius at one time was leaning toward Auburn. The tough season and coaching changes kind of put them behind schools like Clemson, Florida and Georgia, but I think Rodney immediately brings

them back into play.”Georgia will con-

tinue to battle for undecided recruits over the next month, and many of those players may be leaning toward Auburn after the hiring of Garner. Outside of Adams, Simmons said Hutchinson [Kansas] defensive end Toby Johnson will be anoth-er uncommitted player to watch as signing day nears. Johnson’s home-town is College Park, an area where Garner has had recruiting suc-cess in the past.

“It is definitely not too late,” Simmons said. “Auburn and Georgia recruit a lot of the same players and I think Auburn is now a serious competitor for those guys.”

An MRI Monday revealed that former Georgia defensive end Chris Clemons has a torn ACL in his left knee. The Seattle pass rusher will be inactive for this Sunday’s matchup against the No. 1 seed Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome. Clemons suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday’s wild card playoff game against the Redskins. Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll was troubled with the poor condition of FedEx Field, which could have contributed to Clemons’ injury as well as the injury to Redskins’ quarterback Robert Griffin III. If Clemons is to under-go surgery this would mean a lengthy recovery period which could set him back for next summer’s training camp. Clemons tallied 11.5 sacks and forced three fum-bles for Seattle this year.

A.J. Green, Bengals suffer first-round defeat

Former Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green and the Cincinnati Bengals suffered

a loss at the hands of the Houston Texans in Saturday’s wild-card matchup. Green caught five passes for 80 yards in Saturday’s contest with no touchdowns. The Bengals offense was unable to put up any touchdowns against the Texans, its only touch-down coming on an inter-ception return. Green fin-ished his second NFL sea-son with 97 receptions for 1,350 yards and 11 touch-downs, topping his rookie total by four.

As recruiting sea-son steams ahead through the final weeks before National Signing Day on Feb. 6, schools with everything to gain and a lot to lose still find themselves fighting hard to the finish.

But for star players who play in any of the All-American bowl games, or in this case the Shrine Bowl, it’s more like “not much to gain, and everything to lose.”

I’m sure Tramel Terry would agree.

Terry is one of Georgia’s 13 early enrollees this year, an electric four-star play-maker who accumulat-ed 841 yards rushing, 19 rushing touchdowns and 792 yards receiving for Goose Creek High School in 2012. And he could’ve contributed to the Bulldogs as a true freshman, were it not for the torn ACL he suf-fered on the opening kickoff of the Shrine Bowl in December. He underwent surgery last Friday and believes he’ll be back as early as “May or June.”

Sorry to burst your bubble Dawg fans, but that timetable is a pipe dream. Barring a super-human recovery (i.e. Adrian Peterson), Terry should be out at least eight months. And even if he’s out on the field, it often takes players up to two years before they feel truly comfort-able making cuts on the injured knee. Georgia will almost certainly redshirt Terry for the upcoming season, and it will be a long road to recovery for the young man out of South Carolina.

The games are a needless risk, an excuse for companies like Under Armour or the U.S. Army to adver-tise the living hell out of their brand. I might actually sleep better at night if Georgia didn’t have so many commits playing in these All-American contests. The price of signing talent, I suppose. Brice Ramsey probably agrees with me, too. His atrocious performance in the Under Armour All-American game — just five completions for 64 yards and three inter-ceptions — probably wasn’t the ideal way to begin the new year or end his time in high school.

But don’t worry: Ramsey’s performance was more a product of only getting a single week to practice with his fellow All-Americans. He’d gotten minimal time to work with his receivers, and situations like that will always favor the defense. And, you know, these were also the best defensive play-ers in the country. That has to count for some-thing. Another early enrollee, Ramsey will probably forget all about this meaningless game now that he’s on campus in Athens.

Speaking of which, those early enrollees open up spots in

Georgia’s recruiting class of 2013 because grayshirting allows recruits to be counted toward the previous year’s class.

That number also comes after four-star Alpharetta DE Naim Mustafaa shockingly became the sixth player to decommit from Georgia this season after jumping ship to Oklahoma State. Mustafaa made the switch for a number of reasons which were almost all football-relat-ed. One factor, however, deserves particular attention.

“They have my major in business,” Mustafaa said to Michael Carvell of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. “I’m going to try to open a sports bar one day. They’ve got a great hotel and restaurant industry program, and I will be learning about how to run a business.”

OK Mustafaa, I know you may have overlooked this little detail while standing wide-eyed in Sanford Stadium, but Georgia has a business program. A pretty good one, in fact. Some may even say it’s the best in the southeast. But hey, as long as you can run your sports bar in mid-dle-of-nowhere Oklahoma, who cares right?

All that aside, Georgia did lose a qual-

ity player in Mustafaa. It hurts, especially when it’s an in-state player. But there’s one special guy out there who can still heal those wounds. That guy is five-star defensive tackle Montravius Adams. Despite suffer-ing a stress-fractured ankle while practicing for the Under Armour game (another point-less injury), the 300-pound Adams is mak-ing his last round of visits before Signing Day, and Georgia is on the itinerary along with Alabama and Clemson. Almost every major scouting service has Adams listed as a top-10 or even a top-five recruit. The bad news? He was recruit-ed by former defensive line coach Rodney Garner, who took the assistant head coach-ing position at Auburn this December. Why Garner left exactly, I can’t be sure. It was technically a promo-tion, true, but I for one would not want to coach a team known for dead oak trees, recruiting violations, or more recently, los-ing football games.

Adams has claimed that Garner’s absence won’t really affect his decision, but in reality it most cer-tainly will. He is one of the best defensive line coaches in the nation and was a top recruit-er for Georgia. Players

could follow him to Auburn and I wouldn’t even blink. The Bulldogs could really hurt from this down the line. Should an Adams commitment fall through, Richt and staff will still be in a dogfight for several other talent-ed recruits who remain uncommitted, high-lighted by four-star run-ning back Alvin Kamara and five-star linebacker

Reuben Foster, both Georgia natives. Those two players, along with Adams, could easily shape Georgia’s recruit-ing class in the weeks leading up to Signing Day. What many now consider to be a class among the best in the nation could be elevat-ed to actually being the best in the nation if all the chips fall into place.

Of course, it

wouldn’t be recruiting without all the last-minute switches and high-profile shockers that inevitably happen every year. Buckle up.

With the 2012 season now in the books, several members of Georgia’s incoming recruiting class earned national recognition after playing in the three major All-American bowl games this winter.

Though the occasion was celebra-tory, an Under Armour All-American game that featured top Georgia com-mits Brice Ramsey and Shaq Wiggins painted a mixed picture for the Bulldogs. All three recruits were named to the White team, which lost 16-3 in a fairly noncompetitive game.

Ramsey suffered through a rough outing at quarterback, completing just five of 16 passes for 64 yards and three interceptions. He was disap-pointed, but seemed unshaken by the poor performance.

“It was tough,” Ramsey said to Michael Carvell of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. “You come out there to try to get everyone on the same page. And when everyone is not on the same page, it makes for chaos. That was what kind of happened tonight. But it

was a good experience and a lot of fun.”

Georgia’s only consolation of the game was the play of Wiggins, who recorded two pass deflections at cor-nerback and held his own on defense.

In less fortunate news, super-tal-ented athlete Tramel Terry left the opening play of the Shrine Bowl all-star game with an apparent knee injury, which he later confirmed via Twitter to be a torn ACL.

He underwent surgery to repair the torn ligament in Athens on Jan. 4, and believes he can return

to the field as early as May or June, according to 247sports.com.

On a more positive note, future Bulldogs Tray Matthews, Brandon Kublanow and Johnny O’Neal all made solid contributions after accept-ing invitations to play for the East team roster in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, a 15-8 winning effort

for the East.Kublanow had a strong showing

at right guard, paving the way for top running back Derrick Henry and help-ing the East to 156 rushing yards on the day.

Matthews, one of Georgia’s 13 early enrollees, started at strong safe-ty and performed solidly, recording four tackles. O’Neal also had a respectable game, making four tackles while serving as a backup linebacker.

Two more Georgia commits received national accolades after accepting invites to the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. Wide receiver Uriah LeMay, who won a North Carolina state championship while playing at Butler High School this season, and defensive end Shaun McGee both made appearances in the game.

Florveus learns lesson by getting benchedBY CONNOR SMOLENSKY

@ConnorSmo

Some players train their entire lives to become Division-I athletes. But for John Florveus, it took only three years. When ath-letes arrive at their respective universities, some strive to become even better in their game, and some take for granted the opportunity they were given. The Bulldog center will be the first to tell you he fell into that trap his senior season.

“I wasn’t taking it as serious as I should have been. I didn’t realize the opportunity I was given,” Florveus said.

However, complacency is not something Florveus is used to. Having picked up a basketball for the first time his junior year of high school, Florveus was behind his competitors when it came to playing collegiate basketball. Parents, friends and the coach at Dunbar High School in Fort Meyers, Fla., had watched Florveus grow throughout high school, and knew he was destined for basketball. But Florveus had another sport on his mind — foot-ball.

“The [Dunbar High School] coach approached me and asked me if I wanted to play basketball and I told him no, I was trying to play football, but then my par-ents and friends kept encourag-ing me, and put a ball in my hands, start working me out a lit-tle bit, and I liked it,” he said. “I just finally gave in.”

Despite his hard work in just two years, Florveus received no offers from D-I schools to play basketball, and found his way to Hillsborough Community College in Tampa Bay. During his fresh-man season playing junior college basketball, Florveus averaged four points, 3.5 rebounds and two blocks per game. However, as a much-improved player, the center improved his numbers during his sophomore campaign to 8.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. After his sopho-more season, Florveus was pre-sented with options that he missed out on out in high school.

The transition from JUCO ball to the Southeastern Conference was not one that came easy for the star center.

“The speed of the game is even quicker, everyone is bigger, and everyone can do what you can do,” Florveus said. “There is no stand out player unless you are an All-American trying to play in the NBA. You do more intelli-gent plays.”

Since the beginning of his first season at Georgia in 2011, Florveus has added 20 pounds to his frame, played in all 32 games, and averaged 12.8 minutes per game. He also earned praise from Georgia coaches for his work ethic and willingness to learn — something that earned him his first collegiate start in the Bulldogs’ first game of the 2012 season.

“It was a good feeling because I worked my butt off this summer, and just getting ready for it,” Florveus said. “Getting in the gym whenever I can, late at night, whenever I can. Just practicing free throws, hook shots, getting quicker. Just a lot more seriously than last go around.”

However, that good feeling didn’t last too long — compla-cency set in. In the team’s second game of the season against Youngstown State, he came off the bench for 12 minutes of play-ing time, started the third game against Southern Mississippi, only playing 10 minutes, and played 17 minutes in the Bulldogs’ next game off the bench against Indiana. Then, Florveus spent

several games on the bench, see-ing few minutes.

“By [Coach Mark Fox] not playing me as much, it made me realize that I can’t take this for granted,” he said. “It’s my last go around and it made me that much better. I was in the gym even more and just working hard.”

Florveus responded well, and he earned 20 minutes in the Bulldogs’ win over Mercer, a game that he scored four points and grabbed three rebounds. The center mimicked his playing time in the team’s next win against USC, and found himself in the starting lineup in the next two games against Florida A&M and George Washington.

“He didn’t like sitting there so he started fighting his way back and he is a much better player now than he was in the beginning of November,” Fox said. “He has become a pretty affective defensive center. We look back at Mercer, USC, the other night; he has made a lot of prog-ress. He’s playing more psychical and he is playing a lot harder.”

He no longer wants to be a spectator.

“Every time I get out there I try to produce and not just be out there,” Florveus said. “I want to be out there helping the team out, making plays."

BY PRESTON SMITHThe Red & Black

The Georgia men’s tennis team is noted as being very young, but none are younger than freshman Nick Wood.

He enrolled in class-es at Georgia for the spring semester after graduating high school in December.

The 18-year old ten-nis star will red-shirt this spring season to keep four years of eligi-bility going into next fall.

“It’s good for me to come in a semester early and get a jump on things,” Wood said. “Even though I’m red-shirting I get to practice with these guys every day, and work on my game, and get ready for next fall.”

Wood discussed red-shirting with his family and the coaches.

Ultimately, he decided it was the best decision as he adjusts to college.

“I like getting back into regular school,” Wood said. “I did online for two years in high school and I’m ready to get back into the swing of things.”

Because he was raised in Knoxville, Tenn., Wood caught some heat when he chose the Bulldogs over the hometown Volunteers.

However, he insisted he’s always wanted to go to Georgia.

“I was in Knoxville, and I kind of wanted to get out of there, but I just love Georgia, the tradition and the sport

here,” Wood said. “I love the coaches and the teammates and I think it was just the best deci-sion for me.”

Wood is no stranger to competition.

He has been com-peting since he was 10, and his parents both played in college.

His father — Donie Wood — holds the fourth-best season sin-gles winning percentage

at Arkansas, with a mark of .875 in 1988.

He was ranked No. 1 in the south in the 12, 14 and 16-year old age groups and No. 2 among 18-year olds.

While Wood has plenty of suc-cessful tennis

memories, his favorite also may be one of his earliest.

“In the 12’s I won the spring nationals and got a Gold Ball, that was pretty cool,” Wood said.

Georgia head coach Manuel Diaz is excited by what the freshman has shown thus far in just a couple of days of action.

“Nick’s a very easy going guy and a fiery competitor, and he loves to work out and practice hard,” Diaz said. “I think the other guys have real-ly taken to him, and he is doing a tremendous job coming in mid-year and becoming part of the squad really fast.”

When he signed with the Bulldogs in November, Wood was the No. 11 recruit in the nation.

MUSIc NoTeSA new year has arrived

in Athens. And with it being a new year, it only makes sense that new music is making its way out nation-ally and locally. This means one thing: CD release par-ties.

What you can expect? Many of your local bands performing new material in hopes that it will bring these groups to the next level.

FRIDAY

Dead Confederate, Eas-ter Island: This weekend, the 40 Watt Club is all about the CD release parties. This first one features what is perhaps my favorite Athens band, Dead Confederate. Think a psychedelic Nirvana with a Southern flair. The band will celebrate the re-lease of its new EP, “Peyote People.” Opening will be another of my favorite bands, Easter Island, who released one of the most critically acclaimed local al-bums in 2012, “Frightened.” Last month, the Athenians released another EP with “Wasted.” This is going to be a show for the ages, folks. Kicking the night off will be John French and the Bastilles.

Mad Axes, Moths: Meanwhile, at Caledonia Lounge, another CD re-lease show will be going on with Mad Axes, which is celebrating the release of “You are the Real Monster.” The group’s sound is known as psych rap. Opening will be Jacob Morris’ project Moths, National Anthem and Ritvals.

The Heavy Pets, Sumi-lan: South Florida group The Heavy Pets will be headlining the Georgia The-atre Friday night. The music is a mix of R&B, rock ‘n’ roll and jazz-funk, as well as other genres of music none of us know much about. Opening will be Athens jam rockers Sumilan, as well as Higher Learning.

SATURDAY

Blind by Sight, Rest.: The 40 Watt will host two shows Saturday. The one for the evening features Athens rockers Blind by Sight, who won the Alternative Band of 2012 Georgia Music Award. Opening will be Tifton-based rockers Rest., as well as Diamondback.

Like Totally!: A day show by the 40 Watt will be another CD release party, this one for a “kindie rock” band. In other words, it is indie rock for children. Considering indie is the pep-piest type of rock music out these days, maybe the band is trying to appeal to people who still call rock music the devil. I don’t know, but a day show at the 40 Watt is something worth checking out, as is understanding how people who perform for kids are “indie.”

Holman Autry Band: The Melting Point’s back-to-school show will feature a Madison County band that sounds like a mixture of country music and Metal-lica. The band puts on a strong performances, even at the peaceful Melting Point.

SUNDAY

Ed Roland and the Sweet Tea Project: Fea-turing the lead singer of famed ‘90s alternative group Collective Soul, Ed Roland will be at the Melting Point every Sunday from Jan. 13 to Feb. 17. Don’t expect much in terms of “Shine” or “December.” One can only dream what to expect from Roland’s guest musicians.

Chased by Bears, Claire Campbell: Chased by Bears is a local indie punk group performing at Hendershots on Tallassee. Playing a folk set will be Hope for Agold-ensummer’s Claire Camp-bell.

Teen Screens: ‘Twilight’ impresses in print, dashes on screen

“Twilight,” a popular young adult genre novel is one of many hitting theaters. COuRTESY LiTTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY

SHANNON ADAMSThe Red & Black

Editor’s Note: In this series, staff writer Shannon Adams will review popular young adult genre books that have also been picked up by the film industry.

Books fly onto the silver screen every day.

Hollywood has a way of taking the words of to-day’s best-selling authors and bringing them to life, turning the pictures of our imagination into bigger pic-tures on the silver screen.

I love books and mov-ies, and when those two things collide, I practically have a conniption.

When I learn that a book I love is going to be a movie, I experience a mix-

ture of delight and anxiety.The movie could be

wonderful, exactly as I imagined it, taking the beauty and excitement of the book and creating a vivid visual experience, but it could also be terribly disappointing.

The director could do it all wrong, the casting could be horrific, or (gasp) they could change the story.

That is what this series is all about: today’s novels that have been or are being made into movies and how well they are being received.

Most avid book lovers, especially those of us who love young adult literature, have picked up at least one of Stephenie Meyer’s books. For most of us, that meant reading the “Twilight” Saga.

We all know the story:

girl moves to small town where it rains constantly, meets boy, falls for boy really fast, finds out he’s a vampire, doesn’t really care, boy sparkles for a bit, drama ensues.

Don’t get me wrong, I love “Twilight.” I find the characters engaging, if a little over dramatic.

I read the books all at once — like knowing what happened next would keep the world from ending. I think Meyer is an amazing storyteller.

The movie adaptations, though, leave a lot to be desired. They were huge hits — according to the-numbers.com, “Twilight” grossed $69,637,740 in its first three days.

However, I don’t think they did the books justice.

While the movies follow the storyline of the books closely, stars Robert Pat-tinson and Kristen Stewart don’t even begin to portray the engrossing characters.

The acting improved as the franchise progressed, but the changes in directors and styles made the series feel inconsistent.

By the last movie, the tone had completely changed, the cheesy ef-fects and the fact that they skipped some interesting moments in the books were easy to overlook in favor of the awesome werewolf transformations and the enthralling twist at the end.

However, there is still hope for Meyer in 2013 with her other book,“The Host.”

SARAH ANNE PERRY@sarahanneperry

Izaak Walton has 550 records.

“I got a record player from my grandmother that she was, I guess, tossing out,” he said. “I just picked up some of my parents’ old records and started using them, and then I started buy-ing my own.”

Records, once considered outdated, have become increas-ingly popular among the iPod generation — even as iTunes, Bluetooth and Spotify have made music sharing easier and cheaper than before.

Walton, a sophomore music major from At-lanta, has been collect-ing vinyl for five years. A fan of classical music, he said he prefers analog recordings to digital downloads.

“It feels more natu-ral,” he said. “Like it was actually recorded instead of something that was produced, you know.”

Mark Fichman, a vinyl listener, also values the record sound.

“It’s just a differ-ent experience listening to vinyl,” he said. “It’s a warmer sound than a compact disc. I’m not a sound engineer, so I

couldn’t really explain to you the difference, precisely.”

Younger vinyl en-thusiasts have similar difficulty explaining the superiority of analog sound to digital.

“Superior quality? No. Because it’s just not as good quality sound,” Garrett Brandenburg, a junior English major from Augusta, said. “But there’s also a nostalgia factor that you have to figure in. It feels authen-tic, I guess.”

Walton, Branden-burg and other Athenian vinyl enthusiasts can feed their obsession at Wuxtry Records, which has occupied Clayton Street since 1976.

John Fernandes has worked at Wuxtry since 1999. A collector himself, he listens to records with no distraction.

“Twenty minutes is a good time to sit down and listen to music and then have a break and then come back and listen to the other side,” he said.

Listening to music for its own sake might be lost on the young generation, who pops in earbuds for a soundtrack to its busy life.

Vinyl comeback attracts all ages for record sound

WES MAYERThe Red & Black

Picture a beautiful island paradise covered in mountains, caves, waterfalls, exotic life, and a massive army of murderous, slave-trading pirates.

You get an arsenal of weapons to kill everything and anything that moves.

Well, it might not be the most relaxing island getaway, but it makes for an awesome video game. “Farcry 3” pits you as Jason Brody, who used to be an ordinary guy on vacation with his friends — until they got captured by pirates and things went downhill. Jason was for-tunately able to escape, but his friends were not. So he spends the rest of his vacation deter-mined to seek revenge on the pirates and rescue them.

The characters that you meet along Jason’s path of vengeance are all very memo-rable and give the game a lot of, well, character. Vaas, the mohawk styling, lunatic pi-rate who abducted you, is an amazing villain, probably one of the best last year. The scene where he explains the defini-tion of insanity is one of the most memorable. Buck, another dangerous psychopath, is one of my favorite dark-humored char-acters since Glados (Portal). As the story progresses, Jason grows into a better killer, but it changes who he is. He has to be careful not to become insane like most of the inhabitants on the island and the very pirates he is trying to destroy.

“Farcry 3” is set up as an open world game, very similar to “Assassin’s Creed” (it is by the same developer - Ubisoft). The only real difference is that instead of third person and swords, it’s first person and guns. Just like in “Assassin’s Creed,” “Farcry 3” has radio towers you need to climb in order to view areas on the map and enemy camps you need to conquer in order to remove enemy traffic from the islands. Hunting animals and searching for collectible items also plays a

big part just like in “Assassin’s Creed.”

However “Farcry 3” has much better graphics though and definitely stands out as one of the best-looking games last year. The lighting, water and fire visual effects are all beautiful and it all really pulls you into the island. They definitely spent a lot of time making the world beautiful, and it shows in all their smaller characters — most of the natives (any non-storyline character) look exactly the same. It’s weird, like they’re all oompa loompas or something. It doesn’t ruin the game or any-thing, it’s just strange.

To help Jason in his ven-geance are the tribal Rakyat warriors, who use tattoos, or the tatau, to give them abilities in battle. Jason also gets the privi-lege to use the tatau, and as he gets experience and levels up the tatau on his arm grows and he gradually becomes a formi-dable super soldier.

You quickly level up and can get every skill available, which is both good and bad — it makes you a really awesome character, but there’s no real choices or character building involved.

The choices come with how you play the game. Do you sit back and slowly take out enemies one at a time with a silenced sniper rifle? Do you

go in close for the kill with the machete? Or, do you just go in guns ablazing with explosions and fire?

The story is what really makes the game, but there are many things to do on the side to quickly forget about it (your friends are only being enslaved, beaten and raped — they can wait). There are a bunch of quick little mini games and side quests to do, from assassina-tion missions that make you feel like a predator and hunting missions that make you feel like a poacher, to really quirky side quests with the natives. Trea-sures and relics are littered all over the map and you can spend hours just exploring all of the gorgeous scenery looking for them.

In addition, there are the Trials of the Rakyat, mini missions of destruction which mostly give you weapons with infinite ammo, infinite enemies and a time limit. High scores will put you up on the leader-board and give you experience and money, and they’re fun chal-lenges to give you something else to do during your story.

“Farcry 3” is a great game. Its story stands out as one of the best of the last year, and will provide you with plenty to do.
