THE RUNDOWNCocaine arrest made at condo

A University student was arrested and charged with pos-session of cocaine early July 14 after a police officer overheard a male ask if another male if he wanted a blow while patrolling the pool area at the Retreat condos, according to an Athens-Clarke County police report.

The officer reportedly looked through the pool fence and saw a male, later identified as Peter Joseph Villari, take a small plastic baggy out of his pocket, snort some of what was inside and hand the bag to another male who was at the scene.

The officer field tested the white powder, and it tested pos-itive for cocaine, according to the report.

To all who do not under-stand satire:

I do not actually endorse women attending school to obtain an MRS degree. I do not believe that women are in any way academically inferior to men. And I certainly do not plan on naming my child Junior or Georgia Ann.

Yes, if you havent inferred already, my piece How to find that perfect husband in col-lege, was satirical. For the countless number who seems to have skipped ninth grade literature, satire pokes fun at a certain type of behavior while addressing a larger social issue ... Judging by the influx of nasty emails, com-ments and social media mes-sages, I was sorely mistaken. ... If the subject werent a sen-sitive one, it never would have generated such attention.

Because of my sorority affiliation, I have gained friends, support and an expe-rience that has made me a

better person. However, I have also a target on my back for people to wrongfully label me as unintelligent. My sorority holds high educational ideals. Those who think otherwise have obviously spent more time passing blind judgments than having a conversation with any girl who resides on Milledge Avenue. Its baffling how those so outraged at the alleged shallowness of my arti-cle can be the same people labeling me because of the let-ters on my shirt.

To those of you who went out of your way to harass me behind a fake Internet user-name, congratulations. It takes a lot of bravado to anonymously cyber-bully a

19-year-old girl (that was sar-casm, in case some of you are still slow to detect it).

Please, take a deep breath and a joke. Just because I didnt prelude the piece with Warning: this is satire in bold letters doesnt mean the article was meant to be taken literally. Im fortunate enough to have the ability to laugh off the viral ridicule, but this issue is not one that can be carelessly chuckled away. Now that the colossal mystery of my intentions has hopefully been solved, maybe people can finally move on ...

Stay focused, keep your eye on the academic prize, and go get that (non-MRS) degree.

P.S. Look for my next arti-cle, How to trap a man by saying youre pregnant.

(Just kidding.)

OPINION

BY GABE RAMThe Red & Black

HOOVER, Ala. Expectations have rarely been higher for the Georgia football team as it approaches the 2012 season.

Many have picked the Bulldogs to win the SECs Eastern division, including the coaches Georgia was the overwhelming favorite in the coaches pre-season predic-tions poll to represent the East in the SEC Championship game in Atlanta.

However, others are still voicing contrary opinions.

I dont worry about pre-season anything. Since 1996, the media has only gotten the SEC winner right twice, Florida football head coach Will Muschamp said at SEC Media Days Wednesday.

Muschamp, a former Georgia football player, refused to answer any ques-tions about his alma maters tumultuous offseason.

Really, I worry about Florida. Im not really worried about expectations at all, Muschamp said. Im worried about what were going to do, how we prepare ourselves as we start Aug. 3. Thats what Im con-cerned with.

BY BENJAMIN WOLK The Red & Black

HOOVER, Ala. Not too long ago, Zach Mettenberger was Athens golden boy.

A three-year starting quarterback at Oconee High School, he was a Bulldog fans dream.

In the middle of his 2,016-yard, 19-touch-down senior season, with several offers on his plate, Mettenberger chose his hometown insti-tution, announcing that he would be enrolling at the University of Georgia in the spring.

The dream quickly turned into a nightmare for Georgia fans when Mettenberger was charged with a count of misdemeanor sexual battery in April of his redshirt season.

Soon after, the team released him. The transition was not an easy one for

Mettenberger. Its a pretty depressing 18-hour drive from

Athens, Ga going through cow pastures, Mettenberger said. It was tough, it was a very tough time in my life.

Crime notebookReed Hall resident arrested on marijuana, alcohol charges

A University student was arrested and charged with misdemeanor posses-sion of marijuana and underage posses-sion of alcohol early July 16.

The offi cer reported smelling the strong odor of burning marijuana in the hallway and seeing a towel placed in the space between the door and the fl oor.

George Philip Ibrahim, 18, did not give consent for search so the offi cer then obtained a search warrant.

The offi cer reportedly found a green leafy substance in a suitcase and un-opened beers in the refrigerator.

Student arrested for underage possession in Creswell Hall

A University student was arrested and charged with underage possession of alcohol early July 15 after a report of a sick person at Creswell Hall, according to the University police report.

Upon arrival the offi cer made contact with a resident assistant. The RA reportedly said a resident, later identifi ed as Sara Elizabeth Bibler, 18, had vomited on herself and the fl oor in her room.

The offi cer then asked Bibler if she had been drinking alcoholic beverages prior to arriving at Creswell, and Bibler reportedly said yes.

Student arrested after attempting to fi ght in Moonshine Bar

A University student was arrested and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct early Sunday morn-ing after an employee at Moonshine Bar fl agged down a police offi cer.

James Holland Page was inside the bar, reportedly attempting to fi ght people, and the offi cer said two other men were holding him back.

The offi cer grabbed Page by his arm that was cocked back and told him he needed to leave, but Page reportedly tried to pull away, and the offi cer pushed him towards the door.

DUI charge follows traffi c stop for broken headlight

A University student was arrested and charged with DUI and headlights requirements after a police offi cer spot-ted his car traveling on Lumpkin with a headlight out, according to the University police report.

The driver, identifi ed as John Robert Shapiro, 26, reportedly was unaware his headlight was out.

The offi cer detected an odor of alco-holic beverage coming from Shapiro.

After standardized fi eld sobriety evaluations, the offi cer believed Shapiro to be under the infl uence of alcohol.

Student reports automatic payments taken from bank account

A University student was the victim of identity fraud and computer theft used to obtain property of another, according to the Athens-Clarke County police report.

According to the report, the victim reported July 12 that automatic payments were being taken from her bank account without her knowledge or authorization.

Theft occurred on two different dates, and the total amount taken from the victims account equals $368.56.

A suspect has been named.

University student arrested after "assaultive" push downtown

A University student was arrested and charged with underage possession of alcohol and obstructing a law enforcement offi cer after a police offi cer saw one male subject push another one down, according to the Athens-Clarke County police report.

The subject, later identifi ed as University student Philip Scott Sangster, 20, reportedly said he drank about a six pack earlier in the night and knew he shouldnt be drinking.

If anything, I would say its unfair because I was walking home, he said.

Juvenile sexually battered in Rock Eagle 4-H camp dining hall

A University police offi cer met with a juvenile victim July 2 in reference to a report of sexual battery while the victim attended the Rock Eagle 4-H camp, ac-cording to the University police report.

The parents of both juveniles were notifi ed about the incident.

Staff reports

UGA student arrested on simple assault charges

University student Joseph Sheridan Burns was arrested and charged with simple assault July 10 after police responded to a call reporting a domestic disturbance.

The offi cer found a knuckle injury often consistent with striking a person or a heavy/hard item with great force.

When the offi cer spoke to the victim, she said Burns had never hit her but had punched the wall several times. Burns admitted to striking the wall but told the offi cers he had not put his hands on the victim, according to the report.

IntoxBox helps potential downtown drivers measure blood-alcohol levels

Bioterroristic threat creates debate on publication of bird flu research

The night ends with one question: "How should I get home?"

For some, a night out can end in a taxi ride with multiple stops.

With the new Intoxbox, students can now make sure rides home are safer than ever.

This device serves as a breathalyzer and is located inside various bars down-town.

For fi ve dollars a downtown-goer can get up to three BAC checks and, if they are under 0.08, they can legally drive.

The IntoxBox has recently been added to the basement of the Georgia Theatre near the bathrooms and is avail-able during all shows.

But some do not see the point in the devices.

"I think it's stupid," said Andy Rulis, a senior risk management major. "There is no way it works and I would rather spend my money at Toppers and on more

drinks."For these students, money is the main

concern."I would rather pay the same amount

to get a cab and drink more," said Sam Reasoner, a senior pre-nursing student. "I do think they are fun though to see just how intoxicated everyone is."

But even when money is tight, the IntoxBox can see use for more than legal purposes.

"I think the idea behind them is great, but they're more of a novelty thing to see who has the highest BAC than something they use to make sure they're under the legal limit to drive," said Claire Driscoll, a senior psychology major.

Small birds can mean big trouble. There has been debate in the scientif-

ic community concerning research on the avian infl uenza virus, commonly referred to as bird fl u, and if it was wise to make the research fi ndings public for fear of bioterroristic threats.

One of the concerns that really came out when the studies were fi rst an-nounced that they were going to be pub-lished and whether or not they were going to be censored was this whole issue of bioterrorism, said Kimberly Klonowski, an associate professor in the Universitys department of cellular biology.

There is a certain type of sugar, spe-cifi c to avian species, on the surface of cells that the infl uenza virus uses to get into the birds system, but humans do not have that receptor in their tracts.

Most people, even if they were to come into contact with infected birds the infection could never start, Klonows-

ki said.The research studies were looking at

potential manipulations of the avian infl u-enza virus that could render the virus ca-pable to bond to receptors in the human respiratory tract, as well as what it would take to transfer from a bird to a human.

The studies were made available to the public but, as a compromise, the specifi c details about the virus and the research were left out.

As a human you might lean more towards Lets not put this information out there, but as a scientist you want to share your results and its part of our duty as scientists, Klonowski said.

The University now has a faster way to find out about local emergen-cies as the Office of Security and Emergency Preparedness released an updated version UGA Alerts desktop applica-tion.

Originally for University computers only, the application scrolls the message across the screen.

We got requests from some classrooms that dont have phones, and

they wanted a way to notify classrooms even if they dont have a phone in the room, said John Newton, emergency oper-ations manager at OSEP.

When Katie Birenfeld decided to attend the University a few years ago, she didnt think she would be able to handle the 30,000 students on campus.

I went to a really small high school, said the student leader in Freshman College.

The programs intent since its 2000 initiation has always been to make the transition from high school to college easier.

And though students take class, Camille Blair said FreshCo isnt just about in-class experiences.

Just getting acclimated to the campus gave me more con-fidence going into the fall as far as things I wanted to get involved with and knowing that I already had a place here on campus, said the University graduate with a degree in family and consumer sciences education.

For students like Tanzene Ali, who didnt want to attend a large college in the first place, Freshman College proved to be a valuable experience.

I decided to do Freshman College because I at first didnt want to go to such a big school, the senior advertising major from Snellville said.

You can take an old dog to a new season.Russ, the bulldog that served as interim mascot following

the December death of Uga VIII, will remain in the mascot position for the opening game of this football season accord-ing to Savannah Morning News

The opening game against the University of New York at Buffalo will come Sept. 1 this year.

The Seilers, the family that serves as caretakers for Uga, have not released any information about Uga IX, according to the article, but Charles Seiler did express worry about placing the puppy in the recent heat swells.

Uga IX has yet to be announced. Russ, according to the article, perpetuates the Uga bloodline and has sired several puppies over the last year-and-a-half.

Heading into the season, Russ boasts a 14-10 record and followed the Bulldogs all the way through their 2011 season, which ended in a Southeastern Conference title.

The proposed urban camping ordinance may not see the light of day due to past legislation.

The ordinance, which would prevent people from congregating for long periods of time, particularly on gov-ernment-owned property,

was tabled once informa-tion on simi-lar ordinances that had been disputed before it arose.

Two parts of the ordi-nance pub-lic right-of-way and

parks and public grounds we put on hold until the attorney can look at those things, said Doug Lowry, committee chair. We thought that we had a direc-tion to go in, but the attor-ney found out that a lot of the language in the ordi-nance has been challenged in courts in Georgia.

Lowry said this item, including others, could be tabled indefinitely.

Until we get some kind of clarification, theres no point in discussing it, he said.

Tim Denson, a member of Occupy Athens and creator of a petition against the ordi-nance, wrote that this law would have serious implica-tions for the homeless, infringe upon free speech and assembly rights guaran-teed in the Constitution, and

could even restrict tailgating for UGA football games.

One aspect related to the ordinance, though not part of it, allows for greater regu-lation of parking time, par-ticularly near businesses and Athens-Clarke property.

Though the ordinance doesnt target football park-ing, Athens-Clarke County Attorney Bill Berryman said it is beneficial to those who need to access an ACC-owned building.

We bought the building and converted and trans-ferred the water business [near city hall], and anyone who gets water services has to come there, he said.

County manager Alan Reddish said looking for-ward, regulations will be area-specific.

BY ALEX LAUGHLINThe Red & Black

Athens residents are divided in more ways than one all in anticipa-tion of the state House election on July 31.

New district lines were recently drawn in response to 2010 census re-sults, and now Athens and Oconee county voters are split between House districts 117, 118 and 119.

Though votes are now split be-tween three districts, residents ex-pressed pointed opinions concerning Representative Doug McKillip, the Re-publican incumbent for District 117.

McKillip was secretary of the House Redistricting Committee when the district lines were rearranged, and he also sponsored HB 954, the fetal pain bill.

All Im going to say about how I feel about McKillip is that McKillip is a politician, said Raven Covington, a senior political science major from Co-lumbus and a resident of District 119. The way the redistricting was writ-ten, the redistricting falls the way they want it to, theres going to be a huge majority, its going to be two-thirds, theyre going to be able to do whatever they want they dont even need Na-than Deals signature on the laws to pass them."

Brandon Howell, a University

graduate and resident of District 118, said Democrats and Republicans are likely to be suspicious of McKillip be-cause he switched parties in 2010.

The simple fact is that Doug was at a point in his life where he just felt that he was in a group that didnt fully fi t his beliefs anymore. I dont think that anybody can be knocked for doing that, Howell said. He was in a very safe Democrat district, it didnt make political sense for him whatsoever, and he did it anyway and I respect that.

McKillip points to his conversion to Christianity as the source of his ide-ological change.

Over the last few years, Ive been through a major transition, McKillip wrote on his website. I accepted our Lord as my personal Savior and com-mitted myself to my faith. The way I view the world has changed.

Howell said he became friends with McKillip after he switched par-ties, when Howell was still a University student and an executive board mem-ber of College Republicans.

Obviously Im a little bit biased because I know him, but I think hes a very genuine guy and what you see is what you get with him, Howell said.

Dan Matthews, however, said he is still suspicious.

I question his sincerity, the Dis-trict 119 resident said. I dont question his motives or beliefs, but his timing didnt leave a good taste in anyones mouth, Democrats or Republicans.

Matthews, a Democrat, voted ear-ly with a Republican ballot.

I did my best to upset the apple-cart in Oconee County, he said. I didnt vote for my own buddy Chuck Williams who I ran against last year, but I did pretty much vote for the peo-

ple I thought would be the best and have the best interest in mind for the folks of Oconee County.

Other issues on voters minds in-clude a Sunday alcohol sale referen-dum and the TSPLOST a special-purpose local-option sales tax meant to improve transportation.

If TSPLOST passes, for example, there will be a bike lane extending all the way down Prince Avenue which makes sense, a lot of students bike down Prince Avenue, Covington said.

But from a general standpoint, some see work to be done in local gov-ernment.

Tim Denson, a resident of district 117 and an organizer with Occupy Ath-ens, said he is disheartened with the political process in Athens.

Theres way too much control by corporate and special interests, he said. I would like to see people brought into offi ce that are more con-cerned with trying to get the will of the people across, and less trying to do the will of corporations special interests and the established political parties.

Covington voices frustration with the system as well she believes re-districting has led to an intense polar-ization between the left and the right.

Its not Republicans thats the problem, its the polarization. The rights going farther to the right, which is making liberals go farther to the left, she said. I dont like the extrem-ism thats going on.

our take

opinion Meter: The ups and downs in the week that was

OpinionsSEC Media DaysThere's a lot of hoopla sur-

rounding SEC Media Days.Every sports news outlet cover-

ing football in the Sweet South and serving its scores of hungry fans is dedicated to covering every possible aspect of the entire ordeal.

As a small-potatoes football fol-lower meaning I attend games and cheer with the best of them, I high-five my friends and yell out "Go Dawgs!" even when only half-heartedly following Coastal Carolina vs. Georgia I initially struggled to understand the point of SEC Media Days.

As my more die-hard sports fans crowded about their laptop screens to track every single update, I scoffed.

And not for silly reasons. None of the teams have had full-

team practices yet. The depth chart of individual players remains the same as it was when they played their last game.

And while NCAA team rosters are naturally malleable because of the four-year eligibility rule, most teams rosters have not changed that much (with the exception of surprise instances, such as Isaiah Crowell's dismissal from the team in late June).

Then, in my sophomore year, I finally got it.

SEC Media Days are for the fans.

In terms of performance in the fall, coaches only have predictions. In a world where statistics reign supreme, though, predictions mean a lot to fans.

SEC Media Days are about pay-ing attention even when you don't necessarily need to be paying attention and as a fan, that's a concept I accept.

And I also whole-heartedly applaud it.

And now as a journalist, I appreciate SEC Media Days for the wealth of stories that come from these simple sit-downs. At The Red & Black we'll be bringing you live updates via our Twitter and Facebook accounts. We'll have quotes from the conference's major personalities, all with more chick-en soup for the football-hungry soul. Following the circus, tell us what you care about the most from the entire blitz. We will track the stories that matter to fans and as both a fan and a journalist, that's something I'm excited about.

If I could give my freshman self a map for navigating the SEC Media Day maelstrom, it would include three instructions in bold type:

Bear with the hype.Endure the craziness.But then, at the most critical

moment, embrace it.Because that's what being a fan

is all about.

Writer's column should be discussed, not attacked

Hooray for HasselHoff: On July 17, American actor David Hasselhoff celebrated his 60th birthday. In his honor, German-style bar Treppenhaus held drink specials and offered tropical drinks to celebrate the actor and his popularity in the European country. Definitely an irreverent event, but a fun one nonetheless.

bulldog cHarM: This last weekend saw Georgia players cut from the BB&T Atlanta Open. But even as some faltered, former Bulldog and world No. 11 John Isner hung on with survival instincts and dreamily windswept hair. So thumbs up for Isner and his killer game. But more importantly, thumbs up for Isner and his gorgeous brown eyes.

urban caMping ordinance: On one side, it makes sense that local businesses should be allowed to clamp down on parking but on the other side, the threat to free speech rights is too large to ignore. Not everyone agrees with protests such as the Occupy movement, but most would agree that they have the right to protest.

WHat do you tHink?

Maura FriedmanColumnist

A young woman is being crucified and, in missing her origi-nal point, the opportunity for a larger, more pertinent discussion has been lost.

I have problems with Amber Estes column How to Find the Perfect Husband in College. I didn't like it.

Estes produced a satiri-cal, albeit poorly written, piece detailing the ways in which a woman in college can secure her ultimate goal not a degree, but a man.

In the days that have fol-lowed, Facebook friends and reporters alike hoisted this piece as totally incon-gruous with the way this country works. That asser-tion is much more amusing to me than the original arti-cle itself.

My travels and experi-ences throughout the United States have made it abundantly clear that, as a woman, my worth is still somewhat tied to my ability to snag a man (as well as his ability to provide for country club cherubs, as Estes article touches on).

No matter where in the country Ive ventured, the first question asked of me is not what I do but if Im in a relationship and if that rela-tionship will lead to mar-riage.

Dismissing these realities as a Southern thing is to laughably ignore the shared sexism the rest of the states perpetrate as well.

Talking about how stu-pid this article is overwrites

these experiences and sti-fles any possibility of taking conversations about the perceived role of women to a productive place. Just because your state has voted blue in the past few elections doesnt make it an ideal bastion of politically correct living.

Im also offended by the assertion that this column could be a serious work. Ill be the first to admit the South has mostly conserva-tive political and social views, but weve entered into the 21st century too.

Antiquated doesnt even begin to describe your view of the Southeast if you think this article is repre-sentative of the attitude and expectations of the women around me.

Its frankly insulting to see so many people pigeon-holing the gender of an entire region into a vapid, self-seeking existence. Southerners arent a differ-ent species and women from the South have just as much worth as women orig-inating elsewhere and we know it.

Im equally disappointed by and embarrassed for all the newsrooms and social media mavens from my region and those beyond who have been so quick to attack Amber Estes as

insulting, unintelligent or worse.

Not just for the afore-mentioned reasons but for her right to had her arti-cle not been satire be whomever she feels like being.

I dont presume to know Estes future ambitions, but she, like every woman, is permitted to pursue a life within or outside of the home.

Theres no one correct way to be an independent woman.

Steps towards equality should seek to always leave women the ultimate choice in the life path they take, not automatically propel them into a new, typecast role.

Restrictions, no matter how extreme, are wrong, especially when they are more vehemently cast on one group of people.

Lets keep talking about sexism and expectations for young women.

But we need to continue the conversation in a way that looks at the issues from a systemic standpoint and not a cowardly position that puts one area or one woman at fault.

Legion Pool has been a valuable commu-nity resource for over 70 years.

University students spend their summer days playing volleyball in the pool at one end, while faculty and town parents bond with their children in the opposite end. Lap swimmers use the pools lanes to stay in shape or just to experience the companion-ship of exercise.

If the university decides to construct the new dining hall over Legion, they will be destroying the pool, an oasis where families bond and a place where University summer camp children congregate and those daily lap swimmers get their workouts.

Rep. McKillip most qualified to represent State

There are several State House races go-ing on in the Athens area ... We, the student population, are one sliver of the crucial vote considering there are over 20,000 student residents in the Classic City.

For several months a battle has been brewing in the race for State House District 117 between two Republicans, current in-cumbent Doug McKillip and local attorney Regina Quick.

This race has become one of the most competitive races in the state of Georgia, but who is the right candidate for the job? I believe that Doug McKillip is the right man for the office because he has proven time after time that he has the necessary creden-tials to properly serve our beloved Classic City.

Pretensions between majors are unnecessary

The entire purpose of taking a diverse variety of core classes is to provide a well-rounded education for all university stu-dents.

One would think that a diverse core cur-riculum would yield a greater appreciation for other areas of study. On the contrary, pretensions between the various majors can pervade the student and graduate experi-ence.

We cant forget our days of taking core classes. That class that we couldnt wait to get out of is something that another person has spent four years studying. Rather than dismissing something because it isnt for you, show that you have an educated ap-preciation for it by not being condescending about it.

Athens tops for millennialsWHAT DO YOU THINK?

Im sure [Ath-ens] is one of the best.

DesIreesHArpeGraduate studentBrain and Behavioral sciencesFlagstaff, Ariz

I think its a great place to live for college students. Athens-Clarke is one of the poorest counties in the nation. Its a great town, but maybe only for students.

AllIsONDersHWellseniorPsychologyAtlanta

Ive never heard of that, but I enjoy Athens very much.

jeNNYArONseniorPsychologylocust Grove

Ive lived here my whole life, so Im ready to get out and get to a big city. I just dont feel like theres a lot of job opportu-nities here.

KATIecAllAHANseniorPsychology/Criminal JusticeAthens

According to a study by 247wallstreet.com, Athens is the best place for members of the millennial generation (those born after 1983) to live. This top ranking puts it above such larger cities as Phoenix and

Pittsburgh. The study notes Athens has a lower unemployment rate than the rest of Georgia. The Red and Black asked UGA students for their reaction.

Response to How to Find the Perfect Husband in College

This article is extremely offensive!!!Please refrain from publishing such

backwoods garbage in a University-associ-ated publication ... and bring this woman into the 21st century where women focus on educating and bettering themselves while undergraduate student ... not husband hunting.

Emily Jacobsonclarkesville, Tn

I really hope this article is satire be-cause otherwise, it is just embarrassing. We have fought so hard for our rights that it is a slap in the face to have an article like this published. What's next? Rescinding the vote? Denying women inheritance rights? Denying women the right to own property? Because you do remember that women did not always HAVE these rights, correct?

I hope it is just a poorly-written piece of satire.

If it is not, I am thoroughly disgusted, at the author's choice to write it and at your choice to publish it.

Dr. Paula balDwincolumbia, mo

I apologize, but the article "How to Find the Perfect Husband in College" is the most ridiculous thing I've read on so many levels.

I would love to address so many issues with her, but I only have 250 words, so ...

The only thing her article informed the public of is how to be a 'sorostitute'. I moved to the deep south about a year ago from island life. I met a Mississippi lawyer and we moved back to his home state so I could finish my degree at Ole Miss. I had always heard the running joke from men around MS about the MRS degree, but it was always viewed as that a joke. See, women at Ole Miss know how to keep it classy. WE DON'T TELL PEOPLE ABOUT OUR TRICKS, let alone publish articles! Any true Lady would know that a woman's best trick is her ability to make a man wonder how she does it. Way to just spill it there Girly.

What your reporter needs to learn is that being a true Southern Belle! Beauty is about more than reigning in your high-dollar-earning-hubby. Its about the way you carry yourself and the all around class-act that you are. THAT is what brings in your perfect husband. Just being in college doesn't make you a higher level of anything; earning your degree does. Men aren't that dumb. They want a smart, funny, beautiful, whole-package girl.

Girls these days need a lesson on true etiquette. This reporter especially.

There is a trend for a younger crowd in Athens. I dont see too many older folks moving into the area. Younger people tend to flock here and enjoy it.

MATTHeWAlexANDerJuniorstatisticsDuluth

I think its an amazing place to learn. This is my first month here. Ive seen many good people.

I kind of thought this was satire when I read it, but I wasn't totally sure, which is what I enjoyed about it.

Amber, I would like to shake your hand. You show excellent insight and write very well. Good job. .

The problem with your attempt at satire wasn't the audience. Satire goes a step further than poking fun at certain behav-iors; modern satire takes a flawed line of thinking and follows it to a (usually humor-ous) conclusion often by exaggeration. As others have pointed out, some of your pieces of advice were not exaggerated and are ac-tually used by many young women in healthy relationships.

I thought your original column was hilarious! It was CLEARLY satirical. Great job don't let the haters stop you from do-ing your thing.

FROM PAGE 1The road did not end

there, however.Mettenberger spent the

2010 season at Butler Community College in Kansas, where he led his team to an 11-1 record and an appearance in the JUCO National Championship game.

Mettenberger threw for 2,678 yards and 32 touch-downs on 59 percent pass-ing for Butler, Kan.

This one-year stint in community college is what Mettenberger attributes to his increased maturity in the quarterback position.

I definitely took the path less taken. Junior col-lege ball really made me love the game again, Mettenberger said. I really have to thank my coach, Aaron Flores, and my junior college for getting me through that tough time and helping me love the game again.

After the JUCO National Championship

game run, Mettenberger received offers from LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Arkansas ultimately choosing the Tigers in Baton Rouge.

The biggest thing is that I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself, Mettenberger said. I knew LSU had a great chance to win a national championship, or a couple, and I want to be a winner. I chose this place to be a part of a tradition.

Many other schools were hesitant to offer Mettenberger a position because of his shaky past, but Miles was eager to give him another opportunity.

I got the real view of the incidents and under-stand kind of what hap-pened there, and recognize that certainly people make mistakes, Miles said. Hes a guy that really has been, since that time, really done the right things and deserves an opportunity. Frankly, since weve had him, hes been a very, very

quality teammate. Now, Mettenberger

takes the reigns at quarter-back in a league that is already strong at that posi-tion with the likes of Georgias Aaron Murray, Tennessees Tyler Bray and Arkansass Tyler Wilson.

Ive been busting my tail every day this offseason to really try and earn the respect of my teammates

Miles wants to make it clear that Mettenberger is

ready to meet expectations.The reality is he

throws the ball extremely well. So, you know, were going to take advantage of some of those secondaries that want to crowd the front and try to stop the run, Miles said. Now it looks to me that hes kind of ready to go to the field.

Missouri

HOOVER, Ala. Though the Arkansas foot-ball program fired head coach Bobby Petrino this spring, the confidence in the Razorback locker room is still at an all-time high.

We just came off one of the best sea-sons in Arkansas his-tory, and we are looking to build on that this sea-son, and we will, said Tyler Wilson, who will be returning as starting quarterback in 2012.

John L. Smith has spent the last three seasons as the special teams coordi-nator for the Razorbacks, and recently signed a 10-month contract some-thing that Smith says will

not cause any added stress.The confidence is

through the roof, said Kniles Davis, a 6-foot, 200-pound running back who also was named to the 2012 SEC Coaches Pre-Season All-SEC First Team We have a lot of confidence; we have a lot of great pieces, now we just have to put it all together. I know we can do that.

The Razorbacks are coming off an 11-2 campaign their highest win total since joining the SEC in 1992.

Our goal is to be a national championship foot-ball team and thats what we want to get done, Smith said.

HOOVER, Ala. Everything is bigger in Texas, but no other football season has been bigger for Texas A&M as they prepare for their first season in the Southeastern Conference.

We understand the challeng-es that are ahead of us. Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin said, We understand that its going to be a difficult, but exciting, year.

The Aggies open the season with an away game at Louisiana Tech, but it doesnt get any easier for them after that. They open SEC play with a home game

against Florida.Its a damn difficult

league because of talent, but also because of coach-ing, Sumlin said. You can argue all you want, but theres some of the best coaches in the country in the SEC. Combine that with big, fast guys, some of the best players in the country, it doesnt get any better than that.

The Aggies play all six of the SEC teams that won national championships since 2006. Unfortunately for Texas A&M, they may be creating a rivalry with LSU, one of the teams that won a national championships.

FROM PAGE 1Not everyone was as tight-lipped as

Muschamp though. Brandon Shields, a writer for the Jackson Sun Times in Jackson, Tenn., revealed his prediction for the SEC East winner.

When I sit down to do my pre-sea-son picks, I still have to pick between Georgia and South Carolina, Shields said.

No matter who wins, Georgia still has a tough road ahead of them. The Bulldogs first SEC game is against Missouri at Memorial Stadium, a game that some expect will set the tone for both teams seasons.

I think the Georgia game, its big. Normally, never talk about a game other than your first game ever, said Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel.

Isaiah Crowell's dismissal may have hurt the Bulldogs chances to capture their second SEC East title, but quar-terback Aaron Murray still controls the offense, a season after leading them to a 10-4 (7-1 SEC) record.

One of his fiercest competitors, Arkansas starting quarterback Tyler Wilson, views this years quarterback crop as one of the best, in part due to Murray.

Im not sure there is another con-ference that can compare quarterback-wise to what we got in the SEC this year, Wilson said. That being said, Im pretty confident there are some good guys. Any time you are around the greatest guys to every play the game, you really get a chance to sit back and listen.

South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said that the SEC East race is

wide open, despite the hype surround-ing Georgia.

Well, we hope we can [win the SEC championship], but we realize were not favored like we usually were those years at Florida, Spurrier said. We got some teams certainly ranked ahead of us. Thats okay. Yeah, going into the eighth year, again, weve sort of assem-

bled I think better players, coaches, everything around us that gives us a chance to be successful. We dont know whats going to happen till we start playing the games.

Outlook

THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2012 THE RED & BLACK8

HOOVER, Ala. The Missouri football team and head coach Gary Pinkel understand the challenge of the Southeastern confer-ence, and realize that the 2012 season will be no walk in the park.

Theres going to be a lot of big games, Pinkel said on Tuesday at SEC Media Days.

Pinkel and his team are not going to sit around and be bul-lied by the conference just because it has won six consecu-tive national championships.

We all know how it works, Pinkel said. How is Missouri going to do in the SEC, theres going to be an analysis every single week. You have to go out and play and compete. Thats the way it should be. Its going to be decided on the football field. Were excited about doing that.

The Tigers begin their 2012 season at home on Sept. 1. More importantly, perhaps, is the week after when Missouri hosts the Georgia Bulldogs.

Thats a heck of a test, offensive lineman Elvis Fisher said.

Q. Do you look at the Georgia game, put any extra emphasis on it, as a chance to earn that respect? Do you think people undersell the Big 12?

Pinkel: Everybody is going to analyze that the way they want. Im not going to try to come up here and prove ourselves and that we play in a pretty good football league. Youll all have your opinions on that, thats fine. I think the Georgia game, its big. Normally never talk about a game other than your first game ever. We understand historically for the University of Missouri its going to be a big game, the first SEC game, the first SEC home game for our university.

Gary Pinkel, head coach for Missouri Tigers

Q. When you walk in a room, see all these people here, considering where you came from, does it make joining the SEC real?

Sumlin: This makes it real. I tell you what made it real to me, which is probably quicker than a lot of people, was when we had our first head coaches meeting back in March or February. When you walk into a room with 13 other head coaches in the SEC and Mike Slive, they close that door behind you, its just you guys in there, thats when you know its real. For me its probably been a little bit quicker there with that.

Kevin Sumlin, head coach for Texas A&M Aggies

Q. Your schedule shows an open date before Arkansas, a non-conference game after Arkansas, no Florida after Arkansas. In light of how tough that game has been, how much it hurt yall last year, has the Arkansas game taken on more significance for you to win and is that why your schedule is set that way?

Spurrier: You think I make the schedule (smiling)? If I made the schedule, Georgia would be playing LSU and wed be playing Ole Miss (laughter). We dont make the schedule. Were not complaining about that.

Steve Spurrier, head coach for South Carolina Gamecocks

Q. Would you like to be the Arkansas coach for more than one year?

Smith: Well, certainly. Do I look stupid? Dont answer that question.

Q. Or, to put it another way, there is speculation or talk that you would need to go 14-0 to be the Arkansas coach after this season. Have you been told anything?

Smith: That is to be determined, okay, by our athletic director, our administration. What that number is, if you want to put a number on it, I dont know what that is. I dont know that he knows at this point. Hopefully were going to, knock on wood, and make things happen to where we give him no choice but to say, Yeah, youre going to be back here next year.

THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2012 THE RED & BLACK 9

NICHOLAS FOURIEZOSThe Red & Black

The recruitment process is relatively obscure, even for the most avid college fans.

Sports fans hear about the recruits and see the rankings, but many are rarely given a deeper understanding of how football departments work.

But its not a mystery for Georgia assis-tant head coach and recruiting coordinator Rodney Garner.

Blessed or cursed, either way its going on 23 years, Garner said.

The job just like any other job, Garner insists has its highs and lows.

Its my job. Just like you right here, this is my job. Thats the bottom line, Garner said. Some days you enjoy it, some days you dont. There are good scenarios and there are bad scenarios. Im in a people business, so hopefully the people I deal with the majority of recruits are good experiences.

The people business requires meeting face to face, which means assistant coaches often travel thousands of miles to see pros-pects. All that travel can take a toll on coachs families, though Garner said it was a non-issue for his wife and six children.

All assistants travel. You go wherever they are. You recruit a kid in Hawaii, you go to Hawaii its just what you got to do, Garner said. Its the only job Ive ever done, so its the only thing [my family] knows."

The recruiting process changes accord-ing to the three periods determined by the NCAA evaluation periods, contact periods and dead periods.

The summer is a no-contact period recruits may come to college campuses, but colleges cant do anything off campus, such as calling the recruits.

Recruits are free to call, email or Facebook the college but that is on their prerogative, Garner said.

Meanwhile, the start of evaluation peri-ods in September allows coaches to visit practices and games without any contact with the recruits.

You have 42 evaluation opportunities and you can only use one opportunity at a particular school or institution. So you cant go, say, Clarke Central [High School] for

example you can only go watch them play one time from September all the way up to the Sunday after the Georgia Tech and thats when the contact period kicks in it.

With the start of the contact period, coaches are given more freedom to meet with the families of recruits and to talk to recruits after their games.

You cant do anything with the pros-pect prior to the competition, but you can sit with the parents, Garner said. So after the game you can have contact, but if its the evaluation period you cant have any con-tact.

The process inevitably leads to an ebb and flow in recruiting activity summer and Christmas are relatively quiet, while fall and the week before signing day become hectic. Its an organized chaos, something that Garner admits has changed since he first joined the business as a recruiting coor-dinator in 1990 at Auburn, before joining the Georgia staff in 1998.

Theres so much attention drawn to [recruiting], compared to what it used to be. When I first got into it, in the summer times with coaches, it was just dead now its every day. There are [recruits] here today, there were guys here yesterday, the day before, Garner said. All the attention, it puts some of these guys in really bad situa-tions because I wonder whether they can live up to the expectations that are placed on them coming in.

And one of the biggest changes has been the idea of committing to a program, Garner said.

I was a highly recruited kid, but once you decided where you were going to go, where you were going to commit, that was it, you were done, Garner said. But now a commitment doesnt mean anything. Just declaring who is the favorite at the time. Thats the situation with all of them. Thats our culture.

Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham and offen-sive coordinator Mike Bobo werent hesitant Friday to talk about the back-ups and newcomers who will have a chance to fill the teams vacated depth.

With Josh [Harvey-Clemons] youve got a very athletic guy that can play

well in space. He can do multiple things for you.

There was one surprise in the backfield in the form of linebacker-turned-full-back Merrit Hall Hall is

listed at 215, but plays at a bruising 230 pounds, accor-ing to Bobo.

Fridays Dawg Night brought in two new commitments, a wealth of scouting opportunities and the chance to see football in between the hedges, for at least one week over the summer.

Quincy Mauger, a 6-foot, 197-pound safety from Kell High School, turned a scholarship offer from last months Mark Richt Camp into a full-blown commitment.

Coach Richt was very happy, Mauger told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. You know, I kind of made a pre-commitment a week ago. I just wanted to surprise my mom today. I had been doing my research. I told Coach Richt that I wanted to be a part of the Bulldogs family and make it a big surprise for my mom. It worked out great.

Tim Kimbrough, a four-star prospect out of Indianapolis and the nations No. 3 recruit at inside linebacker also committed.

Kimbroughs announcement came over Twitter, where he posted under the handle @TK42_GTL:

Committed to Georgia today. Im a Dawg!!! #LetsGoooo.

Nicholas Fouriezos

Dawg Night garners two commitments for Georgia

It was close to being a ban-ner day.

Playing one of the earliest matches on Saturday after-noon, Georgia rising sopho-more Nathan Pasha had the type of lead an underdog cov-ets.

Pasha was serving, already up 4-2 in the third set of his qualifying match at the BB&T Atlanta Open.

If he could hold the serve, he would be one game away from defeating the Republic of South Africas Rik de Voest, a player who has participated in almost every major tourna-ment in profes-sional tennis.

I knew him from a long time ago, I knew he was good, Pasha said. I knew that he had played all the slams and stuff hes No. 173 currently, so I knew he was good.

But the Bulldog sopho-more was suddenly beset by a myriad of difficulties.

They stemmed from cramps in both his quads and forearms.

It probably gave [de Voest] some relief, because when youre opponent is cramping its going to give you some points and some games, Pasha said. It affected me, its harder to move. Its definitely a game changer.

Pasha would drop the match 6-7(5), 6-2, 7-5, starting a long day for the Bulldog crew present at the tournament.

Two graduates from the 2012 Georgia tennis program, Ignacio Nacho Taboada and Wil Spee Spencer, also lost

their opening round matches.Taboada fell against the

qualifying rounds No. 2 seed, Lithuanias Ricardas Berankis, 6-2, 6-1.

Meanwhile, Spencer dueled local favorite, Georgia Techs Kevin King, to a 6-4, 6-3 loss.

The only former Bulldog to find success was actually the newly-appointed Georgia wom-ens tennis assistant coach, Drake Bernstein.

Bernstein won his opening match, a 6-3, 5-0 match that ended with Kentucky graduate Brandon Cox retiring.

[Cox] was at one point number one in the nation in doubles, Bernstein said. I grew up playing in juniors tour-naments with him, and it was fun getting to play him in a tournament like this. He has a really good serve and volley.

But Bernstein was unable to follow that success with a win on Sunday.

He lost to Berankis in the next round by a 6-4, 6-1 deci-sion.

Pasha grew up in the inner-city Atlanta area, and he said he was happy just to have the experience of playing in front of a home crowd and in his first ATP tour event.

The atmosphere was real-ly cool, Pasha said. That was the first time I played a match in a stadium court that was something that was different. I kind of felt at home a little bit.

Pashas mother, Del Payton, said the family was excited to see Pasha get a chance to play on a bigger

stage.I cant express the words

about how excited we were to be playing this type of venue, ATP he was just really excit-ed about it, Payton said.

July 17 was David Hasselhoffs birthday. To celebrate, Treppenhaus reduced drink

prices to encourage some mid-summer fun. Its summer and we were looking for some-

thing summer-related to do, said Andy Evers, general manager of Treppenhaus. I saw that its David Hasselhoffs birthday and I thought we would celebrate that.

Evers latched onto the idea not only to bring more energy to the bar but also to celebrate a long-time, favorite actor.

I grew up watching Knight Rider and Baywatch, Evers said. Im definitely guilty of that.

Cheesy details, such as bathing suited actors running in slow motion in Baywatch and KITT, Hasselhoffs talking car in Knight Rider, enter-tained Evers, as well as several fans.

They were just fun, mindless kind-of shows, Evers said. It was a fun way to pass an hour.

Hasselhoff has also created a fan base out-side of the United States that Evers touches upon through the event.

Were a German beer bar, Evers said. And hes real popular over there, and we thought we would celebrate his birthday.

Prices of domestic beers and well drinks sold at lower prices, but several, other drinks celebrat ed summer and Hasselhoffs birthday.

Weve got a cocktail menu, but well do the fruity, summertime drinks, Evers said. Something cool and refreshing.

Usually, Treppenhaus keeps it cool, offering events every once in a while.

But in October, the bar participates in a major German celebration.

We did Oktoberfest last year, Evers said. For the most part, we might run something here or there, but we concentrate on Oktoberfest stuff.

For right now, Treppenhaus celebrates the celebritys birthday to beat the dog days of a hot summer.

The summer is so slow that were trying to spice things up, said Melanie Remy, bartender at Treppenhaus.

Koko Beware is leaving Athens.

Before it does, though, the garage-pop band has two shows left in the Classic City. Then the two will be leaving on its first North American tour, with plans to return in December.

If that goes well, then well go to England, said Ryan Beresch, lead guitar, vocals and co-founder of the band. It depends if we get enough money to get there.

The tour involves much more than performing music.

I dont just get to play with my friends, but my hus-band, said Ashley Beresch, vocals and guitar. Going on tour is like one big vacation.

And they work together more closely than most band members do theyre married.

She cant quit the band because she lives in my house,

Ryan said. Its pretty conve-nient because we can practice anytime.

When the band formed its lineup last summer, it moved from one sound to another.

Originally, it was a folk band, but then we moved on to surf music, Ryan said. Theres

only so many surf songs you can write, so we combine punk and classic pop of the 50s and 60s.

Ashley also switched her focus.

When I joined the band, I had never been with a band before, Ashley said. It was just me and my guitar and I wrote songs that fit folk.

By switching genres, Ashley realized that she fit a minority.

Its interesting, Ashley said. Not a lot of girls are doing punk, rock or garage pop music in the Southeast. Its so much fun that it doesnt really matter. Im not doing it because Im a girl, Im doing it because I love music.

Only two shows left, then Koko Beware leaves for tour

Reuben Foster, the nations No. 3 overall recruit and top-ranked linebacker for the 2013 recruiting class, dropped his year-long com-mitment to Alabama in a Thursday press conference.

However, though it had been rumored that he might join ranks with the Georgia Bulldogs for the 2013 season,

Foster chose to flip the script com-pletely by announcing a new commit-ment to the Auburn Tigers.

Over the last few weeks Ive really put a lot of thought and

time into where I will play football, Foster said at his press conference, according to CBS Sports. I am going to enroll at Auburn University.

Art museum mixes music, drinks, fun

The galleries were rockin.The Georgia Museum of

Art mixed several compo-nents to create a successful celebration.

Im really impressed with the diversity of the crowd in all aspects; especial-ly the break-dancing skills, said Hillary Brown, director of communications at GMOA.

Locals, couples, students, music enthusiasts and busi-nessmen came together for an event to remember.

A circle formed around a break-dancer who was replaced by members of the UGA Ballroom Performance Group as DJ Winston Parker set the tone for the stage.

I love all the personali-ties that we are seeing as we are dancing, said Danielle Berenson, a sophomore from Atlanta majoring in biology and Spanish and member of the group.

At one point, a congo line formed for Winston Parkers version of One More Time.

Guests explored the gal-leries, John Baeder and Southern Folk Art from the Permanent Collection, as well.

We were really excited to see a ton of people in the gal-leries looking at the art, Brown said.

When the rain subsided, guests ventured into the sculpture garden to view Chakaia Bookers sculptures.

Not only did people come, but they stayed, said Michael Lachowski, public relations director at GMOA. A lot of people went into the sculpture garden even though it was wet.

Dawg Night may be over, but Monday night is still the Dawgs night.

Shaun McGee, a 6-foot-3, 230 pound linebacker out of Snellville, committed to the

Bulldogs after he attended Dawg Night and competed against top recruits around the country.

The 3-star recruit received 26 offers, but he said he knew

one program would be the right fit.

It comes as a bit of a sur-prise that he committed to Georgia.

With four other recruits slated to play linebacker for Georgia, McGee impressed coaches enough to increase the number to five.

There is more than one Waldo.In bookstores across the coun-

try, a contest has been organized, encouraging customers to hunt for Waldo, the stripe-hatted master of non-disguise, in their locations and surrounding shops, all month long.

Its Wheres Waldo? for the world.

One participant includes Avid Bookshop.

The contest began last year, said Rachel Watkins, Avids com-munity outreach and event plan-ning specialist: one business on the East Coast set up one Waldo-finding mission.

It was a wild success, Watkins said.

Five hundred people were look-ing for Waldo.

Publishers and booksellers noticed, including the American Booksellers Association and Candlewick Press, which spon-sored a nationwide version of that year-ago hunt together.

There are 250 participating locations this year.

They got together, Watkins remembered, and said, Lets do something really fun.

Avids fun is two-fold,
