The Lamar Dodd School of Art was founded in 1937 with 50 art students. Today, it boasts over 1,000. However, as the art world changes, the realities of becoming a successful artist also change.

While in the safety net of school, camaraderie runs high and competition for gallery space and publicity isn’t neces-sarily on the mind of an under-graduate art student. However, Lamar Dodd faculty members feel the school of art offers an entryway into the art world that is well worth the time and money.

“I think we get a lot more because our liberal arts educa-tion is so much better,” Marni Shindelman, a photography instructor in Lamar Dodd said, “We have amazing facilities, great faculty and the students have a basis on which to make art.”

Shindelman said the art students have greater freedom in choosing classes than at oth-er art institutions that have a core curriculum.

“Sometimes you have an American studies person teaching your history and your English. We have such spe-cialties in the humanities and sciences that you can draw on to make your work. And it’s much cheaper. You’re not leav-ing with over $100,000 in debt, which is horrible,” Shindelman said.

Shindelman is working on a video piece with Nate Lar-son, who teaches at Maryland Institute College of Art. Their collaborative work is based on natural disaster responders. Shindelman spoke about re-sponders suffering from PTSD triggered by cell-phones, hun-dreds of which can lie aban-doned at a site.

The balance between maintaining a professional practice and personal work can

be daunting to artists.“I create work profession-

ally. I don’t hobby-make work. I’m trying to develop hobbies. My friend and I might take ce-ramics,” Shindelman said. “But my photo practice is so far away from that. It’s a balance between work and life. I take weekends, Friday and Satur-day, and then I work Sunday.”

Shindelman said making work versus getting your work

out in galleries are two sepa-rate things.

“One is being your own manager and promoter. Some people say for every 40 shows you apply for, you might get into one. My ratio is better now; for every 15-20 I get into one. Once you do get notoriety, you’re terrified it’s going to go,” Shindelman said.

To be successful, you have to want it with a passion — al-

ways. Shindelman said there is a feeling of guilt, that you should be working every sec-ond, but she reiterated the im-portance of finding balance.

“Figuring out how to live and your process for making work is what it’s about,” Shin-delman said.

Family and Friends have become local rock stars despite the band’s first show be-ing only a little over a year ago. With the band’s heartwarming, folk-rock sound and wired performances, it’s no wonder to find love and support surrounding them.

On Jan. 9, the anniversary of the band’s first EP release, “Love You Mean It,” the band will perform for the fifth time at the Georgia Theatre. Family and Friends will play with Roadkill Ghost Choir, new Athenians and neighbors of the band, and Semicircle, a band formed by the drummer and bassist of Reptar.

“The lineup is about as stacked as we’ve played in terms of the local music scene,” said Mike MacDonald, lead vocal-ist and guitarist. “We are excited to play with them. They are all awesome people.”

MacDonald describes each perfor-mance in Athens as a reunion of family and friends (ring a bell?). This upcoming performance will truly be a reunion as the band returns to Athens from a brief tour that took the band outside the Georgia

music circuit.“The most surprising thing on the

tour was how receptive people were in Chicago,” said Ryan Houchens, the band’s drummer. “It is one thing to have people captivated in your hometown, but to go to a town that you’ve never been anywhere near before and the people are interested and excited and happy, is super surprising and really cool.”

Settling back home for a while, the band can treat its music as a job now that Houchens and J.P. McKenzie, guitarist, graduated from the univeristy in Decem-ber.

“Our plans are to really focus on the band and the music,” McKenzie said. “We want to write more and eventually tour more.”

The band’s next EP is to be released in the next few months.

“We are definitely the kind of band where the recordings are the polished versions and the shows are the bigger, hopefully better, performances that better exhibit who we are as a band,” said Tuna Fortuna, the band’s bassist.

What can you expect from this Fam-

ily and Friends show? The band jokingly listed a few things including fanny packs, a small cat in a tea cup and vines hanging from the ceiling.

“There will be some sort of antics,” MacDonald said. “Playing Athens isn’t like playing somewhere for the first time.”

The band also includes Casey Harper, Ben Wills, Maria Kindt and Jamie Rios.

While the group found success on the road, returning to Athens makes for a show that the members particularly enjoy. The members are appreciative of the ener-gy that fans bring to each show.

“It’s the people, you know? It’s the reciprocation of this relationship,” Houchens said. “Especially when we are in Athens, that fear of doing something right or wrong or cool or not cool is not there. You can’t really mess up. You’re just free to have fun.”

Among the items pro-posed at the first University System of Georgia Board of Regents meeting of the year was a solar farm, which if passed, will generate electric power on University of Geor-gia’s campus.

Charles Sutlive, vice chancellor of communica-tions for the Board of Re-gents, said the solar farm would be established in co-operation with the Georgia Power Company.

“Georgia Power would construct, operate and maintain a 1-megawatt So-lar Tracking Demonstration Project on a 7- to 10-acre plot of land near its distribution center,” Sutlive said.

The proposed solar farm would be built across the street from the State Bo-tanical Gardens on South Milledge Avenue.

UGA originally proposed the idea of leasing the land to Georgia Power “as part of a mutually beneficial research partnership to assess com-mercially available solar tech-nologies,” Sutlive said.

Under the provisions, Georgia Power would be al-lowed to build the solar farm on the plot, though owner-ship of the land would be retained by the Board of Re-gents.

The solar farm would also act as a research opportunity for students at the University of Georgia.

“[The University] would assist in collecting and an-alyzing data from the solar farm, and use it as an edu-cation and teaching tool for students in the College of Ag-ricultural and Environmental Sciences and the College of Engineering,” Sutlive said. “Access to the solar farm would also open opportuni-ties for cooperative research by [the University] with Georgia Power Company and providers of solar equip-ment.”

Items moved in possible at-tempted burglary at Boyd Graduate Studies Building

An unknown person allegedly entered the Boyd Graduate Studies Building between Dec. 23 and Dec. 24, according to a report from University of Georgia police.

A UGA Computer Sciences em-ployee reported several items on the third floor of the building moved from their last known arrangement.

Although the event was reported as a burglary, the employee said items ap-peared only to be moved, not missing.

No signs of forced entry were cited in the report.

Pistol, fireworks stolen from UGA student car

A male student at the Uni-versity of Georgia reported items sto-len from his vehicle at his residence on South Milledge Avenue sometime be-

tween Dec. 30 and Jan. 4.According to police, the student

noticed his unlocked car was broken into, and his semi-automatic pistol and a box of lady finger fireworks were sto-len. The student stated that the glove box and center console were also rum-maged through, though there was no damage to the vehicle.

Four latent print cards, four pieces of paper and a black flask were taken as evidence, according to a police report.

Female UGA student receives suspicious text messages

A female University of Georgia student reported receiving suspicious text messages over the winter break.

According to the Athens-Clarke County police, the student received provocative text messages from an unknown number claiming to be her roommate. The student’s roommate later confirmed in person that she had not sent the messages.

According to a police report, the student discovered that other members of her sorority and of the cheerleading team received similar messages from unknown numbers.

Burglary reported at UGA student residence on Rushin Drive

A burglary at the residency of three female students of the University of Georgia was reported Dec. 29 when a patrolling Athens-Clarke County police officer noticed an open back window and unlocked back door of the building on Rushin Drive.

Officers cleared the residence and found no one present. According to a police report, the two bedroom doors upstairs were kicked open and the rooms appeared ransacked.

The three students were contacted and met with the police officer to report all stolen items, which included three flatscreen televisions, a silver ring, a

jewelry box and $40 in cash.

iPhone stolen during deal in Kroger parking lot

A theft was reported in the Kroger parking lot on College Station Road on Jan. 5. According to an Ath-ens-Clarke County police report, a man reported his iPhone 4S stolen when he agreed to meet an anonymous buyer from Craigslist to sell the phone.

The two met in the parking lot, and while inspecting the device, the buyer, described as a 5-foot-3-inch black male in his 30s, ran away and jumped into a small, white, four-door car. Two people were in the back seat, and the driver was described as a white female with blonde hair and about 25 years old.

According to the report, the car fled towards Barnett Shoals Road.

2 Spring 2015 Housing Fair Section Thursday, January 8, 2015 The Red & Black

Current University Housing residents as well as off-campus residents may log into The Dawg House at housing.uga.edu to register for housing January 5-31. Everyone who registers by the deadline will be assigned an appointment time to return to The Dawg House and choose his/her space. Appointment times are assigned at random.

Current residents who wish to keep their same room or hall will be able to do so if the space is available for fall semester 2015. The University Housing Assignments Office will notify residents if their space is available or not.

Begin now to think about which hall you want to live in and with whom. Research hall information at housing.uga.edu/residence to see floor plans, photos, videos and rent rates. To get an in-person look at your potential new home, take an open-house tour Sunday, January 25, 2-5 p.m. Tours are drop-in, so bring your friends and roommates! Due to the popularity of apartment-style spaces in East Campus Village, an apartment in Rooker Hall is available for drop-in tours

weekdays 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

For answers to your ques-tions in-person and to get the inside scoop on the best way to snag the space you want, attend a Secrets to Room Sign-Up informational session, held on the following dates:

January 14: 6 p.m. Brumby Hall rotunda

January 22: 6 p.m. Rooker Hall fireside lounge

January 25: 1 p.m. MLC 214

Housing staff and will be on-hand to give out some swag, help you plan your strategy and answer questions.

The majority of room sign-up participants will receive an appointment time in early to mid February. At that time, you may log on to The Dawg House, choose any available space and input roommates. You must execute your hous-ing contract online by the due date emailed to you, and then you may continue to make changes to your room choice through mid-April. Each roommate must also execute

his/her contract by the deadline or he/she will lose the space.

Appointment times will continue to be assigned throughout spring semester, with contract deadline information sent to UGA email addresses. Students with later appointment times will be able to select an on-campus space as other students cancel out (by not selecting a room or not executing an online housing contract).

Students with housing contracts may change rooms as often as they like. In past years we have been able to offer everyone who indicated interest a chance to select a room. Students interested in Family and Graduate Housing or housing in apartments on the Health Sciences Campus will begin regis-tration in late February.

The Red & Black Thursday, January 8, 2015 Spring 2014 Housing Fair Section 3

What made you decide to continue living on campus? 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 having 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 campus. Living in Reed makes going to class much easier. 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 something to do, whether it be RA programs, RHA programs, 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 certainly the right decision? I don’t have to worry about rent, transpor-tation, 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 energized and prepared for the day ahead.

How are you involved in your residential commu-nity? 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 significantly from there. I now currently serve as the president of the Residence Hall Association, the second largest organiza-tion on campus. I have also worked over the summer in 1516 as a conference host and as a desk assistant in Reed.

Any advice for returning residents? I would definitely 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!

As we move into spring semester, don’t forget to

secure your space in Uni-versity 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 Uni-versity Housing offers

2. Log on to the Dawg House by January 31 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 ac-count about your status

Want to compare rooms? Go to http://housing.uga. edu/residence/tour to see amenities, floor plans and rates or take a drop-in tour on Sunday, January 25 from 2-5 p.m.

Flu vaccine not at fault for outbreak

Following a mutation in the flu vi-rus, there were dissenting opin-ions regarding both the validity

and effectiveness of the vaccine. How-ever, it appears the public grossly mis-interpreted what actually happened: an unprecedented mutation occurred, thus making the original flu vaccine less effective. This does not mean the flu vaccine is completely useless and serves no protection against the virus; it simply means there are more strains of the virus than initially believed, thus increasing the risk of contracting the flu.

According to Dr. Tom Frieden, Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention director on the Ebola crisis, this mutation occurred too late in the year, which makes it near impossible to create a new vaccine; four months minimum are needed to engineer a new vaccine, and by the time it was created, it would be totally irrelevant. What happened in 2014 was an unfor-tunate happenstance, but it does not justify the vilification of vaccines or the CDC.

Clearly, no mistake was made on the CDC’s part as there is no way to accurately predict a virus mutation. There is a chance every year that this can happen; there are always mul-tiple strains of the flu, which create endless possibilities for mutation, far out of the control of the CDC. Even so, these mutations do not render the flu vaccine useless. It is still incred-ibly beneficial to get the flu vaccine every year, because it does still protect against certain strains of the flu, as well as reduce the severity of the virus if contracted, according to CNN.

According to Frieden, 98 percent of children who died from the flu in past years were not vaccinated. Con-versely, in 2012-13, the CDC reported 149 child deaths due to flu, 90 percent of which were not vaccinated. While it is unclear what percentage of the vic-tims of this year’s flu were vaccinated, studies have clearly indicated the im-portance of the flu vaccine. Moreover, when compared to CDC surveillance data of previous years, 2014-15 actu-ally was lower in flu-related pediatric deaths. Hence, the flu vaccine did its job in effectively protecting people against illness.

My heart goes out to the victims and families of every victim. There is no denying the severity of the flu virus, but we cannot allow our own igno-rance about the flu vaccine to hinder our health. The flu is an incredibly dangerous virus due to its ability to rapidly mutate, and the vaccine is our best defense against it.

Hope for new year in spite of depressing 2014

ViewsWHAT DO YOU THINK? The Red & Black wants to know what you think — so let’s start a conversation. Email: [email protected] or [email protected]: Like The Red & Black Twitter: @redandblack

The year 2014 definitely had some great defining moments. Ellen Degeneres posted “the great-est selfie of all time” at the Oscars, hilarious

tweets posted by athletes from the Sochi Olympics, Emma Watson spoke at the U.N. and the Ice Bucket Challenge happened, which raised $115 million for ALS research. However, there are some parts of 2014 that we do not mind leaving in the past, and some we can only hope improve in 2015. 2014 can be characterized as year without com-passion. Throughout the year, many celebrities had per-sonal photos leaked on social media platforms, such as 4chan and reddit, and spread across the Internet with no regard for privacy. The users who shared the person-al photos are just as guilty as the hackers who stole the photos and neither have compassion for celebrities as people. Urban Outfitters continued its string of offen-sive products when it released a Kent State University sweatshirt this year. Urban Outfitters has previously released other controversial pieces in its stores such as

shot glasses that look like prescription pill bottles, a tank top that reads “eat less” and shirts with a star of David that resembles the star Jews were forced to wear during the Holocaust. It seemed that Urban Outfitters never learned its lesson the first time and continued to offend its consumers. We had our yearly disease scare when Ebola came to the U.S. Ebola is a dangerous, deadly virus, but was not widespread throughout the States when compared to the plight in West Africa. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only four cases of Ebola were diagnosed in the U.S. during 2014. Meanwhile, West Africa continues to struggle with the widespread disease while Americans obsess over the next hot trend. We are also aware of the unrest that began Aug. 9 in Ferguson, Missouri, after the deadly shooting of Michael Brown. Riots still continue, creating tension within the nation. The brutality which plagues the streets has cast a shadow on the U.S.’s police force and justice system. Of course, 2014 was also plagued by ISIS and many tragic airplane losses including the Malaysia Air-lines Flight 17, TransAsia Airways Flight 222 crash, Air Algerie Flight 5917 crash and the unexplained loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Conspiracy theories were thrown about, but nothing could be done to condole the families. However, we can hope that improvements in air security will be made by 2015. What can we hope to get from 2015? I can only hope that our set-backs in 2014 will help our growth and improve our lives in 2015. I hope 2015 brings solutions to the problems met in 2014. Like years past, this next year will bring im-provements and innovation in the field of technology. Technology that is faster, better and more secure, from the new iPhone to the development of an Ebola vaccine. I hope next year not only brings improved relationships between the Middle East and the Unit-ed States, but a general increase in compassion and understanding for all human beings, both foreign and domestic. Once we can stop attacking our neighbor and producing offensive products, the civil unrest and high tensions throughout the U.S. will subside. Here’s to the new year, and the hopes and aspi-

rations that we improve as a global society.

Airlines’ ineptitude to blame for missing flights

The missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 brings up tragic memories of the Malaysia

Airlines disaster of flight 370. As conspiracy theorists continue to argue this is the work of some covert terrorist organization, it’s likely the core issue is simply incompetence.

Following the first missing Malaysian Airline flight, one would assume airlines every-where would take extra caution so as to avoid further tragedy. However, it appears the exact opposite has happened. Yet an-other flight has seemingly fallen right out of the air, taking the lives of everyone on board.

Whether this is an issue of air security or ineptitude within the flight crew is still up for debate. Australian investigators speculated flight 370 likely ran out of fuel when flying on auto-pilot, according to CBS News. This indicates a gross miscalcu-lation, as the flight was nowhere near its destination when it supposedly ran out of gas.

Similarly, reports speculate the plight of the AirAsia flight was due to severe weather. While it is impossible for air-lines to control the weather, if there was any inkling of such a storm, they should have delayed or cancelled the flight. A sim-ple change of plans could have saved the lives of everyone on board.

Although the airline offered to give the grieving families a set amount of money to help out with things, that’s not enough. I’m sure every single family member would rather have their loved ones than a stack of con-dolence money. If the airline had done its job before, this would have been completely avoided.

But someone didn’t see it neces-sary to make adjustments after the last tragedy struck, so now innocent people have had to pay the cost.

If the conspiracy theorists are wrong, which they usually are, then this suggests a pro-found incompetence within the staff of AirAsia and Malaysian Airlines. This is deeply unset-tling, as it begs the question of what other companies are cutting corners and endangering the lives of passengers?

People relied on this com-pany to get them home safely, and it was proven unable to do so. The airline’s lack of initiative is affecting airports everywhere. Widespread fear is causing people to avoid flying altogeth-er. Clearly, something needs to change before this becomes an international scare.

1310 Baxter Street


By Lindsey Conway@LindseyVConway

A team of University of Georgia College of Ed-ucation reseachers received a $360,000 cooperative agreement to evaluate gifted education programs around the world in U.S. Department of Defense schools, which provide education to children of mil-itary families.

The researchers will work to assess the different gifted education strategies and programs in the U.S. and analyze the procedures used to determine if stu-dents are qualified for gifted education.

“The objectives of the evaluation are to provide the Department of Defense Education Activity, or DoDEA, leadership [with] a comprehensive report of best practices in gifted education identified in re-search, best practices common to successful gifted education programs in public school systems, feed-back from stakeholders in those public school sys-tems, a comparison of the DoDEA program to those best practices and action-oriented recommenda-tions for implementing best practices,” said Sarah Sumners, an assistant research scientist for the In-stitute for Interdisciplinary Research in Education and Human Development and a member of the re-search team.

The six gifted education-programing standards, according to the National Association of Gifted Education website, are learning and development, assessment, curriculum and instruction, learning environments, programming, and professional de-velopment.

And while Sumners chose not to comment on whether gifted programs prepare students better for college entrance and success over traditional pro-grams, some students have felt that participating in the programs challenged and prepared them for higher education.

In the United States, between 3 and 5 million students participate in grades K-12 gifted education programs.

“We had really good teachers first of all, and they did a good job of preparing us for college and hold-ing us to really high standards, so we kind of knew what to expect coming into college,” said Ally Jones, a freshman biology major from Tucker.

Jones started her gifted education career at a Kittredge Magnet School in the fourth grade and continued with the magnet programs at Chamblee Middle and High School.

The gifted magnet program prepared her for col-lege in both academic and social aspects, Jones said.

“Especially in the fourth grade at the elementa-ry school when I started, they were pulling kids from all over the place,” she said. “You go in not really knowing anybody, but you get thrown into a really diverse place, so that you can start to figure out how things work for you. I think that is very similar to college and university life.”

According to the National Association for Gifted

Children website, students identified as gifted need to have the best resources and programs to develop their academic abilities. Compared to a star athlete training for the Olympics, gifted students in class-rooms lacking rigor and challenge from appropri-ate programs can create “boredom and frustration [which] can lead to low achievement, despondency, or unhealthy work habits,” NAGC’s website states.

For this reason, Sumners said it was important for the researchers to assess and recommend the best gifted education practices to the DoDEA.

“Developing and providing services for the gifted is a difficult but important undertaking,” she said.

But other students have also felt that they were prepared without participating in gifted programs in elementary or middle school.

Artianna Singleton, a sophomore human devel-opment and family science major from Valdosta, said she felt although she had not participated in gifted programs in her earlier education, she felt prepared for success in college.

“I feel like my schools prepared me sufficiently,” Singleton said. “I believe I benefited from not being in the gifted programs, because you were given more attention and more options.”

For the second year in a row, the University of Georgia ranked in the top 10 for Kiplinger’s Per-sonal Finance list of the 100 best values in public colleges and uni-versities.

UGA secured the No. 10 spot for in-state value in the 2015 rat-ings due to improved test scores and a more-competitive admission rate, according to a UGA News press release. Just over half of all applicants are offered admission, and almost half of those accepted choose to enroll, which Kiplinger reports is one of the highest yields of the list’s top 10 universities.

“I do not know the other nine schools, so I cannot exactly com-pare them, but it makes sense,”

said Anand Murugappan, a junior finance major from Augusta. “I got into [the University of Penn-sylvania], but I came to Georgia because it was a better deal. As-suming other people did the same thing, it makes sense that it is a good deal.”

Kiplinger’s method for deter-mining rankings is based on a com-bined assessment of financial and quality aspects of each college, taking into account the percent-age of returning sophomores, the admission rate, the student-facul-ty ratio, the four-year graduation rate and cost-related criteria such as financial aid and average debt at graduation.

The average UGA graduate’s student debt, $20,254, is nearly $5,000 below the national aver-age for four-year public schools, according to Kiplinger. UGA also ranked No. 18 for out-of-state val-ue among public colleges.

Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship contributed to the rankings and was cited as reason why some stu-dents chose to attend UGA.

“The HOPE Scholarship was a pretty big factor in why I decided

to go here,” said Savannah Cole-man, a freshman communication sciences and disorders major from Norcross. “I only applied at in-state schools because of HOPE.”

Nolan Murphy, a freshman psychology major from Cumming, said in-state scholarships assist in keeping UGA costs affordable.

“I cannot comment on the actual rank, but I can say that, for the value, [UGA] is a good school,” Murphy said. “I would say with HOPE and [the Zell Miller Scholarship], this is a very bargain school.”

UGA is the highest-ranked public school in Georgia. UGA is also the second-highest ranked public college in the Southeastern Conference, behind the University of Florida at No. 3. Other colleges placed in Kiplinger’s rankings of public schools include the Univer-sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill at No. 1 and Georgia Institute of Technology at No. 17.

“I think for the money you put into it, you get good things out,” said Sarah Smith, a freshman chemistry and political science major from Macon.

While it doesn’t look like testing as an aca-demic measure of knowl-edge will be eliminated any time soon, the medi-um through which tests are administered might.

Through a partner-ship with North Star De-veloper’s Village, a South Korean technology com-pany, University of Geor-gia professors will have access to $500,000 worth of tablets, servers and software licenses to re-search and develop with for the next five years.

Ikseon Choi, an as-sociate professor in the College of Education’s Department of Career and Information Stud-ies, introduced the agreement, which gives professors the opportu-nity to experiment with this new technology and allows the company to gather information for the improvement of its product.

“Professor Choi has connected with NSDevil for two reasons: the first being the opportunity to bring this technology to campus, and, the way they have it set up, any professor who wants to try it in their classroom can use it,” said Kristen Morales, communica-

tions manager in the Of-fice of College Advance-ment in the College of Education.

Known as “ubiqui-tous-based tests,” NS-Devil’s testing technolo-gy uses smartphones and tablets to administer tests by connecting to a server without the use of the Internet. The system runs using solar cells so that the test can be ad-ministered outside the traditional classroom.

“Say you were a stu-dent in the [veterinary] school,” Morales said. “You could go out into the middle of a cow pas-ture and take a test re-lated to the cow you are looking at right there, rather than relying on a video or something on a computer screen in the classroom.”

Morales said the new technology from NS-Devil aims to eliminate common problems asso-ciated with technology testing, such as testing security.

“What do you do about people cheat-ing with the technolo-gy? Well there is a very simple solution [which is randomizing] every-body’s test. Just because you are looking at the test of the person next to you doesn’t mean you are on the same question

or even remotely close to the same question on the test,” Morales said. “Also, you couldn’t be looking up information using the device because it actually shuts down access to other parts of your smartphone or tab-let while you are taking the test.”

But even with all of the opportunities and security measures built into the technology, Al-lan Cohen, a professor

in the Department of Educational Psychology in the College of Educa-tion, said there may be professors who choose not to use this new form of testing because they do not have the available time or funds to invest in learning how it func-tions.

“I don’t think teach-ers will fight against using this kind of tech-nology, but I think that teachers will need help

using the technology,” Cohen said.

Morales said those who choose to use it will benefit from the oppor-tunity.

“The idea that you can just take your tests using this device, to me, just makes sense that this is the direction we are going,” she said.

Both Cohen and Mo-rales said paper tests will not disappear any time in the near future, as

they still provide a cheap method of testing a large number of people.

“It’s like books or newspapers,” Morales said. “People say that they will be obsolete, but people still keep buying them. I think what this new technology does is it gives people another option for learning and testing wherever they are at.”

Technology creates testing alternative

A partnership with a South Korean technology company will allow University of Georgia professors to use $500,000 worth of tablets and servers as a new method of administering tests to students. joHn roark/Staff

New students move into the dorms every semester. Spring transfer students can find move-in day and on-campus living particularly challenging. JOHN ROaRk/Staff

A distantly-familiar trio of Greek letters will once again be sported around campus, as the University of Georgia Pan-hellenic Council has approved the extension of a new sorority chapter.

Delta Phi Epsilon, which was established on UGA’s campus in 1935 and left in the mid-2000s, will rejoin the Pan-hellenic community in the fall of 2015.

“The possibility of exten-sion returned mixed reviews at first, with what I believe to be mainly attributed to the deep tradition of the Greek com-munity here at UGA. A new sorority has not come to cam-pus since the 1980s,” said Eliz-abeth Pittard, adviser to the Panhellenic Council. The Zeta Pi chapter of Delta Zeta, which came to campus in 1987, is the most recently introduced Pan-hellenic sorority to UGA.

“Open communication and dialogue was encouraged among Panhellenic presidents and council members to dis-cuss extension, which eventu-ally resulted in a vote to open up the campus for new soror-ities, and also the vote to add Delta Phi Epsilon,” Pittard

said. “Panhellenic members seem to be getting excited about our sororities coming together to support our new chapters on campus.”

The extension was ap-proved by more than two-thirds of the Panhellenic Council, Pittard said. They also agreed to what is known as “stacking,” which means

that with the next two to four years, multiple sororities will be brought to the campus.

“I believe that college women seek sorority member-ship as a way to find a commu-nity of support and friendship at UGA,” Pittard said. “By pro-viding two more opportunities to find a best fit, I am most excited about our Panhellenic

community coming together in support of welcoming new sororities to campus and ulti-mately welcoming more wom-en into the sorority communi-ty.”

The extension process re-quires many steps.

“I coordinate the process for UGA from beginning to end, including overseeing the

exploratory and extension committees and being pres-ent at Panhellenic meetings,” Pittard said. “I am also the point of contact for interested sororities to ask questions and submit applications. Ultimate-ly it is the decision of the Pan-hellenic community to open up for extension and which sorority they want to invite to campus. Each sorority has one vote.”

Courtney Reese, a soror-ity member at UGA, said she is excited to welcome the new sorority to campus.

“I think, like any group, I hope that it’ll give people one more opportunity to bond more over shared goals and values,” said Reese, a fresh-man public relations major from Alpharetta.

It was the growing inter-est in Greek life at UGA that brought about the idea of an extension along with a stack-ing agreement.

“I think that adding Del-ta Phi Epsilon to Panhellenic here at UGA will be a great opportunity for more girls to find their homes in the Greek community, as the number of girls interested in sorority re-cruitment seems to grow each year,” Reese said.

While many mem-bers of the class of 2018 have already had their first tastes of football, fi-nals and Snellebration, a new wave of students have started as Bulldogs this semester, ready to take in those experiences for the first time.

Although most first-year students are accept-ed for the fall semester, a number of individuals start their careers at the University of Georgia as “spring admits,” leaving them a semester behind in meeting their class-mates but sometimes ahead in completing aca-demic requirements.

“As a senior I was admitted as a spring stu-dent, and I wanted to go to [UGA], so I was per-fectly fine with that,” said Chuma Atunza, who will begin this semester as a computer science and music performance ma-jor.

According to the Of-fice of Undergraduate Admissions website, it is “able to extend offers of admission for a January (Spring semester) start to a limited number of students who would have otherwise been denied for fall, but were very strong applicants.”

In November 2013, Associate Vice President

for Admissions and En-rollment Management Nancy McDuff said it had a target of 200 spring ad-mits for 2015, according to a UGA Today press release — a number which has increased over the years, as The Red & Black reported in 2009.

For Atunza, the lat-er start did not mean a wasted semester, as he spent the fall taking classes at Georgia State University.

And Stephanie Cal-houn, a political science major from Barrow who started in the spring of 2013, said she also maxi-mized her semester.

“I think academically it worked out really well for me because I took classes at Gainesville State [University]. I took a lot of credits then to try and get things out of the way which I thought might be harder at UGA,” Calhoun said. “It eased me into college because it was harder than high school but easier than what some of the classes may have been at UGA.”

The challenge for Calhoun at Gainesville was getting guidance that fit her situation. She said the school did not offer much help in advis-ing her on what to take or what might transfer, and she did not yet have an adviser at UGA.

But taking classes is

not the only way spring admits choose to spend the fall, and the Office of Undergraduate Admis-sions does not set limita-tions on what individuals may do.

Students who don’t take classes may end up studying abroad, volun-teering, or working, as Maximiliano Arevalo, a spring admit to the class of 2018, did.

Arevalo, who’s an intended international business major, said he applied for the fall semes-ter, was wait-listed and later accepted for the spring 2015 semester.

“I ended up work-ing to save up money,” said Arevalo, who’s from Lilburn. “I was excited because after I got wait-listed I didn’t think there was much of a chance I would get in, so when I got the acceptance I wasn’t upset that it was for the spring. I was just happy to be in.”

Thomas Smith, a mass media arts major from Waleska, started at UGA in the spring of 2013 because he missed the fall application deadline.

Despite the later start, he is working to fin-ish on time with his class.

“I am trying to work extra hard to finish in three and a half years, since I don’t want to graduate in December. The upside to that is that

it forces me to do sum-mer classes, which I have found I like doing,” Smith said.

While Smith said starting in spring did not disrupt much for him in the long run, it was chal-lenging socially.

Like all freshmen, spring admits must live on campus, but room-mate options can be slim second semester.

“What was hard was the social aspect of watching all of my friends moving into dorms while I was still at home. By the time I did come, I had a roommate someone else had a bad experience with first semester, and everyone on my hall al-ready had friends,” Cal-houn said. “Clubs had already started too, so I was playing a bit of catch-up to meet people.”

Individuals without perma-nent housing will no longer be faced with the obstacle of trans-portation in attaining the resourc-es they need because after almost 10 years of work, a $6 million re-source center will make services accessible in one location.

Athens-Clarke County Hous-ing and Community Development, Athens Resource Center for the Homeless and Athens Homeless Property Corporation are part-nering with several local service providers to create the Athens Re-source Center and ARCH Village, which is set to be completed in July.

“A big thing a lot of people take for granted is transportation.

Availability of resources is another huge issue, and what we are able to do with this development is house multiple services and pro-grams within one location,” said Evan Mills, the director of busi-ness development at Advantage Behavioral Health Systems.

Mills said the new facility, which will be located on North Avenue, will offer 24 transitional living apartments for families in need, as well as housing offices for Advantage Behavioral Health System’s Homeless Day Service Center Program, AIDS Athens, Athens Nurses Clinic and Athens Area Homeless Shelter’s financial literacy program in one location.

In addition to these services, Lifespan Montessori will also pro-vide childcare.

Melanie Burden, the volunteer and patient services coordinator for Athens Nurses Clinic, said she is looking forward to the partner-ship.

“We are excited about the one- stop-shop concept,” Burden said. “We are hoping this will make it easier for our clients to get every-thing they need without having to make those tough choices.”

Planning for the new facili-ty began following the closing of Athens’ U.S. Navy Supply Corps. A federal law required the transfer of surplus military property to bene-fit the homeless, so the University of Georgia, hoping to make use of the property, contributed $7.9 mil-lion to build the ARCH elsewhere and fund future maintenance.

Despite popular be-lief, an increasing num-ber of problems in a mar-riage is not an indicator of increasing dissatisfac-tion in the relationship. In fact, it appears that the number of problems in a marriage tends to stay stable, even as the couple grows further apart, according to a re-cent research study con-ducted by Justin Lavner, an assistant professor of psychology at University of Georgia.

“The idea there is that people’s problems are reported as being about the same or as much of a problem as they were before, so it’s not that the actual issue is changing, but people’s responses to the issues are changing,” Lavner said. “The problems might not be any worse, but people become more bothered by them because the same things are discussed over and over for years.”

Lavner, Benjamin Karney and Thomas Bradbury, co-authors of the study from the University of California, Los Angeles, hypoth-esized that a drop in tolerance by the couple leads to dissatisfaction rather than an increased amount of problems.

For most college students, marriage is not a pressing issue, as the average age at mar-riage is about 28 years old, according to the National Center for Ed-ucation Statistics.

But there are some students who choose to tie the knot during their collegiate studies, as about 18 percent of the 20,928 undergraduates surveyed by NCES na-tionwide reported they were married.

That small per-centage of married un-dergraduates may face more issues with their marriages, as college presents factors that through national re-search have proven to be detrimental to rela-

tionships, said Lavner.“From national sta-

tistics we know that the age of marriage is a good predictor of di-vorce,” Lavner said. “So the younger people are when they get married, the higher divorce rates are.”

For couples who married between the ages of 20 and 25, 60 per-cent of marriages end in divorce, as opposed to 50 percent of marriages ending for couples start-ing their relationship when the bride is at least 25 years old, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

Another common initiation of tension for marriages started in college is the stress lev-el that tends to be as-sociated with college, Lavner said. This stress could come in the form of workload stress, fi-nancial stress or even social stress.

“From lots of re-search in general, stress really negatively im-pacts relationships,

even stress that has nothing really to do with the relationship at all. For example, work stress,” Lavner said. “So I think that is one area where the stress from school really could affect relationships, because what we know is general stress tends to negative-ly affect relationships.”

Despite the chal-lenges of marriage in college, Kelly Ni, a fresh-man engineering major from Savannah, said she believes that her college attendance has not put pressure on her mar-riage with her husband Jimi Strohecker, who is deployed in the U.S. Ma-rines.

“Pressure on me and Jimi’s relationship isn’t really a big deal,” Ni said. “It isn’t like we have to do things we don’t feel comfortable with.”

Lavner also said that although there is sometimes tension in college marriages or marriages of any kind, the best way to make things work is by taking a proactive stance on the relationship.

“The problems that people have tend not to get better on their own. It’s tempting for people to just think ‘Oh, my relationship will just get better. It’s nothing to worry about,’ when I think the study shows us that problems tend to be problems for a while,” Lavner said. “I think it shows us that for people who think that something is a re-ally big problem that it’s a good idea to get help.”

Spring semester means elections and different fac-es taking over the ropes of the Student Government Association, but for the administration in charge right now, the new semester means maximizing the remain-ing time in office.

“We are in that second half, and if there wasn’t a clock ticking before, it is definitely real now. We need to start closing in on some of our projects and fulfilling promises we made to students, and we are excited to get started and have our work come full circle,” Trea-surer Brittany Arnold said.

The first major events SGA has planned for the se-mester include a second “Shout” week during the sec-ond week of school and the next installment in its Open Dialogue series on Jan. 15 in the Reading Room of the Zell B. Miller Learning Center.

“The first topic of discussion will be campus inclu-sivity in terms of how we can better ensure students, faculty members and people in the community feel as though we as a campus are being inclusive to people of all backgrounds, races, ethnicities and cultures,” Ar-nold said.

In addition to these events and senate meetings ev-ery other Tuesday night, Vice President Jim Thompson said they will be working on specific platform points.

“We are trying to balance our time between initia-tives we as an administration want to pursue and initia-tives students want us to pursue,” he said.

Thompson said in particular that he will continue to work with the J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development to develop a postsecondary degree pro-gram that gives students with mental disabilities ac-cess to the University of Georgia. A preview event on this initiative is planned for March 19.

“We will be introducing the concept and explain-ing what it means, and we hope to have some keynote speakers from other programs around the country and student testimonials,” he said.

Taylor Walden, the SGA director of programming, said they are also talking about creating a Better Re-lations Day with the Georgia Institute of Technology around the time when the teams face off in baseball.

Walden said he is also working on organizing the Dawgs at the Dome event and Professor Recognition Day, which is set for Feb. 23 and for which nominations are now open.

“Dawgs at the Dome is a really unique opportuni-ty for students to go down and meet with state legisla-tors,” Thompson said of that event, which is scheduled for Feb. 19.

Outside of major events, individual senators are also working on projects.

Senator Johnelle Simpson, who represents the Ter-ry College of Business, said he is working on getting two crosswalks added to campus, looking at the feasibili-ty of placing lockers in Tate or the MLC, and possibly planning a campus safety week.

Along with more visible campaigns, students may see more of their senators as well this spring.

“We just passed a bill adding responsibilities for senators. Hopefully students will see senators tabling outside their colleges, maybe with some Dunkin’ Do-nuts. I can’t promise the latter, but I can guarantee the former,” Thompson said.

The University of Georgia announced Wednesday that Brian Schottenheimer, who was the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams and formerly of the New York Jets, has been hired as Georgia’s new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Schottenheimer, who is the son of former NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, replaces Mike Bobo, who left Georgia in December to accept the head coaching position at Colorado State.

“I’m excited to have Brian join our coaching staff,” Geor-gia head coach Mark Richt said. “His NFL experience will be a perfect fit for how we like to play offensive football here at Georgia.”

Schottenheimer has coached at the college level be-fore, as he coached tight ends at Southern California in 2000

and wide receivers at Syracuse in 1999.

“This is a great oppor-tunity to become a Georgia Bulldog for both my career and my family,” Schottenheimer said. “I’m thrilled to be part of an elite program with such national tradition and a great staff already in place.”

Schottenheimer played football at the University of Florida and graduated with a degree in exercise and sports science in 1997.

Schottenheimer was the quarterbacks coach for the San Diego Chargers from 2002-05. He has coached Super Bowl winning quarterbacks such as Drew Brees and Brett Favre, as well as NFL top-10 picks Philip Rivers, Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez.

Last season, the St. Louis Rams finished 28th in the NFL in total offense. Georgia aver-aged over 40 points per game in 2014 for the first time ever with Bobo calling the offense.

But the lows?They were low.

The Georgia Bulldogs swimming and diving team will compete in one of its most important meets of the season against the Texas Longhorns in the Gabriel-sen Natatorium at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Saturday’s significance can be attributed to many different things, such as the fact that the men’s team for the Longhorns sits at No. 1 in the NCAA. It could also be the result of the Bulldogs trying to maintain their 92-consecutive wins at home. Or perhaps it could be because head coach Jack Bauerle will be able to return for the first time since his suspension last spring.

The combination of facing the nation’s best while also trying to revert to nor-malcy puts a lot on the athletes’ minds, but senior Nicolas Fink is simply trying to take it like any other meet.

“I think our focus is just to get out there and race,” Fink said. “This is all just preparation and getting in the right mindset. If we can race them here we can race them at the end of the season.”

For senior Maddie Locus, a Sugarland, Texas native, the competition she will

face on Saturday will be familiar.“It’s really cool for me having practices with them, Christmas training, while

we’re home,” Locus said. “Then coming back and seeing what we all can do when we’re on separate teams.”

At last year’s event in Texas, the Lady Bulldogs pulled out a close victory, while the men’s team stumbled.

Heading into Saturday, Bauerle believes the two teams match up evenly.“It’s sort of like football or basketball, sometimes some teams just match up

real well against you,” Bauerle said. “They’re great in diving, they’re great in a couple of other areas. There’s 16 events; you have to win nine of them. We think we have a shot of winning seven or eight, but number nine looks like a toss-up. It’ll be a heck of a meet.”

Bauerle, who has been a part of the coaching staff for more than three de-cades, can recall the early time of the Gabrielsen Natatorium, which opened in 1995.

“At one time we were 1-1 here, now we’re 93-1 here,” Bauerle said. “It’s a pret-ty good streak. It has to end sometime, but we don’t want that time to be now.”

BY JACKIE KINNEY@redandblack

As a confident Jack Bauerle stands by the pool in Gabrielsen Natatorium, an outsider might pre-sume that the past year was merely a soul-searching vacation from his prestigious swimming career.

A third party might speculate that Bauerle quite simply needed to cross a few items off his bucket list, spend more time with his children and follow in the footsteps of Elizabeth Gilbert’s pilgrimage in Eat, Pray, Love.

While he was, truthfully, fulfilling a Mentawai Island surfing dream from his bucket list, he had loftier concerns than the average vacationer catching 15-foot waves in the Indian Ocean.

Back in the states, the University of Georgia suspended Bauerle due to his illegal involvement with the grades of then-sophomore Chase Kalisz. He became the subject of an NCAA investigation and proceeded to await the verdict.

His wait, along with the wait of the entire swimming world, ended on Dec. 19, when Georgia announced Bauerle’s immediate return for practice and the first meet in South Carolina.

Unable to travel due to shoulder surgery, Bauerle’s grand appearance will be in Gabrielsen Natatorium against the University of Texas on Saturday, Jan. 10.

Over his leave of absence, Bauer-le found himself with a considerable amount of time — time to involve himself in his three sons’ activities, to attend a hometown Hall of Fame induction and to gain perspective on his position.

“You learn who your friends are, and that’s a good thing,” Bauerle said. “You learn a little bit about some things you probably would have missed. There are a lot of positives about it. There are some negatives, obviously negative is not being around the team, going through this situation and having Georgia go through it, but the positive parts, I feel like, outweigh the negatives.”

An equilibrium has been restored,

an equilibrium the Georgia swimming program has lacked since Bauerle’s suspension. Evidence of his significant influence can be seen on the relieved, excited face of every swimmer when questioned about his or her head coach.

“Having him back definitely restores some sort of normalcy and calm,” senior Nicolas Fink said. “It’ll be good to have another set of eyes on the swimmers. With all his experience and tremendous amount of coaching, it’s good to have that kind of man on the pool deck.”

For senior Maddie Locus, Bau-erle’s influence does not end in his knowledge and advice; his sheer demeanor adds a new dimension to the pool.

“It’s nice to have him back,” Lo-cus said. “The atmosphere he brings is unique to Jack.”

Bauerle’s unmatched presence did not bring an end to the program’s success.

Assistant coach Harvey Hum-phries replaced Bauerle in his vacan-cy, and the men’s and women’s teams are ranked third and second with 7-2 and 9-0 records, respectively.

“We have a system in place, and thankfully, all the people that are here as coaches have been with me before,” Bauerle said. “I’d like to tell you they missed me, but I’m not so sure. When I came out on the deck, they stood up and started clapping. We had a big deal going on, which made me think I probably didn’t work them hard enough in the past.”

Spending his time by the water in Gabrielsen Natatorium, rather than in the waves of the Indian Ocean, Bau-rele’s focus is forward.

“From here on in, that’s in the past,” Bauerle said. “The focus now is all about [the team] and not about me at all. I just want to see how they swim, and that’s the way it’s always supposed to be.”

The next obstacle for the Georgia squad will come from the University of Texas.

As the season progresses, Georgia continues to prepare for the champi-onships at the end of February.

Just as a month before, the goals, the schedule and the strokes remain the same, but based on a newfound excitement, energy and determination in the Georgia team, a dynamic has clearly shifted.

Jack Bauerle has returned home.

The Georgia Bulldogs and Texas Longhorns are two of the top-rated swimming and diving programs in the country.

It’s safe to say that sophomore guard J.J. Frazier feels confident.

Georgia’s 5-foot-10 spitfire is coming off a career-high 20 points against Norfolk State, go-ing 7-for-8 shooting and 4-for-5 beyond the arch. Just two weeks earlier, Frazier set career highs in rebounds (11), assists (7) and steals (3) against Seton Hall. If that wasn’t enough, he’s doing it all off the bench.

Frazier said that kind of confidence is something he has always carried through his bas-ketball career.

“I’ve always been a confident guy and be-fore the last game I re-ally didn’t shoot the ball well in my previous two games,” Frazier said. “I just want to come out and take good shots, and I’ve got to be confident my shots are going in ev-ery time I shoot the bas-ketball.”

When facing the re-ality that he can’t stay perfect, Frazier’s outlook remains optimistic and a little mathematical.

“I think about the law of averages,” Frazier said. “If I miss, then eventually I’ll start making some as well. It keeps me going, keeps me confident in my jump shot.”

Frazier turned heads last season, perhaps not predominantly because of his play.

Frazier’s size certain-ly draws attention, but he hasn’t seemed to no-tice his sub-average stat-ure based on the way the young point guard has played this season. Geor-gia head coach Mark Fox said the guard actually grew over the offseason and Frazier’s newfound strength has made him more comfortable when challenging defenders.

“J.J. grew a little bit and added a little bit of weight,” Fox said. “He loves to be in the gym, so really just through our workouts and our time in the weight room you’re seeing that on the court.”

Frazier’s comfort lev-el has increased with a season under his belt, as it goes for any collegiate student. In Frazier’s case, collegiate athleti-cism was a bit of an ad-justment for him during his freshman season.

“Coming from high school I didn’t under-stand the physical aspect or the mental aspect of the preparation that goes

into being a player at this level,” Frazier said. “Once I figured that out, the transition has been easi-er, smoother.”

Frazier’s teammates can tell he’s found his niche.

Junior guard Kenny Gaines said his younger teammate has started to take the reins at the point guard position and as a leader.

“J.J. has always been a very outspoken person on the court and off the court,” Gaines said. “He likes to voice his opinion, and when he sees some-thing is wrong he likes to speak up.”

Fox said he respects Frazier’s loudmouth per-sonality especially at a position where this is vi-tal, such as point guard.

“He’s a point guard so he’s got a big mouth, which he should,” Fox said. “He loves to direct the team and he’s terrific in that way. He’s a nat-ural leader on the court and I think now as a sophomore you’re able to see more of that.”

Last season, the Georgia Bull-dogs slumped into Southeastern Conference play with a 6-6 record. The team turned it around, albeit against a downtrodden confer-ence that sent only three teams to the NCAA tournament, and went 12-6 in conference play.

If the Bulldogs repeat their conference success, the team will find itself in an excellent position to reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011.

“I feel like we’re in a good position,” junior guard Kenny Gaines said. “I like that we’re rather ahead than behind coming out of non-conference play.”

The Bulldogs enter SEC play riding a six-game winning streak and carry a 9-3 record, but be-fore discussing how Georgia will shape up in the SEC, it needs to be stated that it, and every oth-er team, is playing for second behind the No. 1 unbeaten Ken-tucky Wildcats.

As for the rest of the confer-ence, the teams competing with the Bulldogs for those at-large bids include LSU, Florida, South Carolina and Arkansas.

Other than Kentucky, the Razorbacks are the only other ranked team in the SEC. But de-spite the lack of top tier teams, the conference has improved from years past.

“If you take opinion out of it and look at the numbers, the SEC is far stronger than it has been in previous years,” Georgia head coach Mark Fox said.

Along with Kentucky’s im-pressive set of blowouts, some of the SEC’s non-conference wins include road wins over No. 17 Iowa State, via South Carolina, and No. 14 West Virginia, via LSU,

and the Bulldogs’ 18-point thrash-ing of Seton Hall, who has the No. 10 RPI in the country.

With the quality of the confer-ence rising, Fox said that getting to 12 wins will be a difficult task. But with more quality teams, Georgia may not need to win that many games to reach its goal of an NCAA tournament.

“I don’t think it will take 12 [wins] to get to the NCAA tour-nament this year,” Fox said. “But wins are going to be harder to get because they’re a lot of really good teams.”

As for Georgia’s schedule, it is rather favorable despite having to play Kentucky twice. It gets Ar-kansas, Florida and Tennessee all at home, while its only tough road games figure to be trips to South Carolina, LSU and Kentucky.

In addition to Kentucky, the Bulldogs draw Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Auburn and Ole Miss twice. With each loss in the bottom of the conference crippling a team’s tournament chances, every game is important for the Bulldogs.

“Every game, you’re playing a good team. You have to come out and play every game,” Gaines said. “Every game is the same, they all come out as one win or one loss.”

The Bulldogs are in a better place than they were last year. They are also a better team than they were last year, but they are playing against a better set of conference opponents. And if the Bulldogs are going to better the odds of reach-ing the NCAA tournament, they will have to be the better team SEC team more times than not.

“We aren’t going to celebrate. We are not in the NCAA tourna-ment, we don’t have a ticket. We are still in line,” Fox said. “We are just in a different spot in line than we were last year, but we still don’t have that ticket. We still have work to do.”

J.J. Frazier, the shortest regular on the team at 5-foot--10, has played a large role in Georgia’s early-season success due to his exceedingly confident demeanor. Frazier said that his outlook on basketball relates back to the law of averages and his belief that eventually, everyone starts making shots. JOshuA L. JONEs/Staff

Watching Georgia football every fall Saturday is a good way to give yourself déjà vu.

The cyclical nature of the program is well-documented. The narrative has been spun so many times that if Bulldog football were a game of Ring Around the Rosie, the centripetal force would actually prevent the children from all falling down at this point.

The highs are high and the lows are low. Star players miss time and unheralded backups habitually step into the roles of superstars. It’s just how it normally goes.

For most of the year, 2014 seemed like an exaggerated version of this construct. The ebb and flow of the season ebbed and flowed more pronouncedly than ever be-fore. And that can be said of just the Todd Gurley saga.

But while the team’s superstars fell and underperformed and new superstars arose, there was supposed to be one constant on this Georgia team. His name was Hutson Mason. No matter how many tailbacks or receivers or defensive backs or linebackers subbed in or out, Mason was the team’s foundation. Yes, the offensive line was the most consistent position group of the season and the tailbacks proved the most successful despite the injuries and Gurley’s suspension, but Mason was 2014 and was destined to be for some time.

Mason was destined to be 2014 when he took a redshirt season in 2012. Mason was destined to be 2014 when he stepped in for Aaron Murray in 2013. He was always the heir-apparent, the player who would have to carve his own legacy after Murray barely left him any more turkey to carve.

Mason was supposed to be the leveling

stick that evened out the shaky narrative that is Georgia football. But even Mason’s career was just another example of déjà vu.

Did Mason’s last drive feel odd, as if it had just happened recently? That’s because it had. Let’s go through a series of events quickly Mason sustained an injury with around six minutes remaining in the second half in a goal-to-go situation from his opponent’s 9-yard line. He stayed in the game until the drive ended, disappeared into the locker room afterward and never again stepped onto the playing field as a Georgia Bulldog.

Rewind one year. With around three minutes left in the second half of a game, another Georgia player sustained an injury and stayed in the game until his drive end-ed, this time one yard ahead of Mason at his opponent’s 8-yard line. After the drive ended, he disappeared into the locker room and never again stepped onto the playing field as a Georgia Bulldog.

That player was Aaron Murray.At this point the Georgia narrative has

become so convolutedly repetitive that quarterbacks are suffering career-ending injuries in the same manner. Mason hurt his head versus Louisville. Who did Murray tear his ACL versus? Kentucky — Louis-ville’s cross-state rival.

The déjà vu is so strong that it wouldn’t be outlandish to assume that within the next handful of years, Georgia will find a way to play Western Kentucky and have a quarterback separate his shoul-der. That way the team would only need an extreme case of turf toe to turn the quar-terback situation into a gruesome version of the children’s song Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.

So yes, the narrative is repeating itself in more ways than one. Injuries continue to happen. The ridiculous gets quantified into the believable. I’m not here to specu-late on how 2015 will be for the Bulldogs. This is neither the time nor place. This is a time for reflection on what just happened, on the claim that Mason made after the Belk Bowl that he just quarterbacked the

greatest offense Georgia has ever put on a playing field despite the team not winning a Southeastern Conference or national championship.

And on paper, that doesn’t seem like that unbelievable of a claim. Georgia averaged 41.3 points per game in 2014, the best mark in school history. The team as a whole accounted for 68 touchdowns, just four fewer than the best mark in team history set in 2012, a season where the team played 14 games as opposed to the 13 played in 2014.

The fact that Mason and his compatri-ots were able to put up these numbers de-spite the uncertainty all across the offense for most of the season is nothing short of unbelievable.

But the numbers aren’t the only thing that one would have to use to discern whether or not Mason led the best offense in Georgia history. There is also the success of the team. And success is a metric which Mason doesn’t necessarily satisfy.

Mason won 10 games as a starter in a single season. That’s a ho-hum stat at this point though; nearly every Georgia team wins 10 games. He beat every team he faced that finished the season in the top 25 except for one. That’s impressive. But the loss was to Georgia Tech, a team very few of his immediate predecessors ever lost to. So maybe it’s not as impressive.

His resume reads like a list of asser-tions and rebuttals. For everything he did greatly, such as his record-setting completion percentage, there was some-thing he was not so proficient at, such as pushing the ball down the field for long gains. And it’s those caveats that lead me to believe that Hutson Mason may be the most “Georgia” quarterback there has ever been. For everything great he did, there was something that wasn’t so great coming right behind. For every incredible victory there was an inexplicable loss. Everyone was aware this was what was happening. Everyone knew this was the narrative. But no one ever expected it.

And that’s when the déjà vu set in.


In the wild card round of the 2015 NFL playoffs, the Carolina Panthers dispelled the notion that a below-.500 team can’t win in the playoffs by defeating the Arizona Cardinals on the

back of a strong defen-sive performance led by multiple former Georgia Bulldogs.

Charles Johnson, an eight-year veteran of the NFL who was selected from Georgia by the Panthers in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft, led a swarming

Panthers defense with three total tackles, two of which were quarter-back sacks.

Johnson’s teammate and fellow Bulldog prod-uct Thomas Davis had a standout performance of his own.

With seven, the line-backer finished second on the Panthers in tack-les in the game after the NFL’s tackle leader Luke Kuechly.

Davis and John-son, as well as former Bulldog center Fernando Velasco, will move on to the divisional round to face the No. 1 seed in

the NFC in the Seattle Seahawks.

One former Bulldog, safety Demarcus Dobbs, plays for the Seahawks.

Matthew Stafford fails to lead Lions to playoff victory

Former Georgia quarterback and No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford attempted 42 passes and completed two-thirds of them in the Detroit Lions’ wild card game versus the Dallas Cowboys, but that was not enough to find a win.

Stafford finished the day 28-for-42 with 323 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his team’s 24-20 loss Sunday. Stafford averaged 11.54 yards per completion in the contest, an impressive mark, but his less-than-stellar 7.69 yards per attempt proved detrimental to both his numbers and his team’s chances for victory.

With the loss, Staf-ford moved his career playoff win-loss record to 0-2 and extended the Lions’ playoff losing streak eight games.

Detroit has not won a postseason game since January 1991.

Along with Stafford, many other Bulldogs were bounced from the playoffs in the first round.

The Cincinnati Bengals were the most represented team as five Bulldogs — defensive tackle Geno Atkins, wide receiver A.J. Green, offensive lineman Clint Boling, defensive end Robert Geathers and safety Shawn Williams —all saw their seasons end over the weekend.

Additionally, the 2014 seasons of Pitts-burgh Steelers outside linebacker Jarvis Jones and Arizona Cardinals punter Drew Butler came to their respective closes as well.

Charles Johnson leads Carolina D in playoffs


D’Andre Walker, a four-star defensive end from Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, became the 26th player to commit to the Georgia football team for the class of 2015 Saturday. A gifted pass-rusher, Walker has a well-developed inside move and uses his athlet-icism to his advantage. However, Walker is un-dersized and often uses his abilities as crutches instead of relying on fun-damental ability.

StrengthsWalker rushes the

passer. His numbers don’t lie. Over his high school career, Walker recorded 55 sacks, 300 tackles and forced 13 fumbles. Most of this production stems from his elite athletic abilities.

Walker’s feet and hands work in tandem well, which has led to a devastating inside move where he shucks offen-sive linemen out of the way and creates a clear path for him toward the ballcarrier.

Because of this, Walk-er is a handful to block. Since his hands and feet both move quicker than most high school offen-sive linemen can keep up, uninterupted lanes open for him to tee off on quarterbacks.

Unimpeded, Walker gets to exhibit exactly how hard of a hitter he is. The defensive end also possesses above average speed, pursuit skills and second-level tackling abil-ity, mostly tackles from behind.

He is also stout in the run game, is sometimes hard to move at the line of scrimmage and exhib-its burst off the line that makes it difficult for him to be blocked by slower linemen.

WeaknessesAs a player, Walker’s

style is hard to peg down. He almost exclusively op-erates from a wide-9 posi-tion, better known as the weakside defensive end who plays two or three lengths outside of the end man on the offensive line of scrimmage.

As a result of this, the undersized, 209-pound Walker over relies on speed and his natural talent to beat blockers more often than he uses fundamental knowledge.

For example, Walker’s highlight tape is riddled with instances of him leaving his feet to jump over blockers or jump onto ballcarriers. This is a tactic that works in high school because Walker is simply better than his opponents, but in the Southeastern Confer-ence, that is a good way to break a rib.

Additionally, leaving one’s feet is a penalty risk as Walker often walks the line between aggres-sive and targeting. Also due to his size, Walker sometimes finds himself caught inside on run plays and has a hard time fighting inside toward the ball, oftentimes going around blockers instead of through them.

➤ From Page A1

A recent graduate of Lamar Dodd, John Mur-phy chose UGA for its broad spectrum of ed-ucational ventures. He was unsure if he wanted to pursue a career as an artist in addition to having varied academic interests, so he decided against attending an art school.

Murphy majored in political science and photography. He, like Shindelman, pointed out UGA’s breadth of resources and quality education not found at a specialized art school.

“I’m very glad I chose UGA. I lucked out. We have all the perks of a fine arts school education and UGA has pumped a ton of money into the art program in recent years,” Murphy said. “Especially in the pho-tography program. It’s a film-based program, which is going out of style in the rest of the nation.”

Murphy said throughout college, he made sure he kept his path toward art.

He said that often after college, artists take non-artistic jobs to pay the bills and before they know it, they’re apply-ing to dental hygienist school.

“The big trap of art school education is that we’re shown these amaz-ing things, experience and grow so much, are put out into the world with amazing ideas, but are now reliant on media we can longer afford and put into a workforce that no longer provides opportunities for work-ing artists,” Murphy said.

Upon graduation in 2013, Murphy moved to New York and worked as an assistant to a well-known photographer.

He said the demands of New York take a toll af-ter a while, and that you spend a lot time trying to survive and less time on your art.

However, Murphy feels his time there has taught him to prioritize and work as hard as he can.

Murphy said a huge challenge for him was transitioning from college to professional life. The availability of equipment he needs for his photography became a huge issue.

“To be able to make art at the quality I was making it, at a university with a huge budget, [has been an adjustment],” Murphy said.

New York did not

claim Murphy for long. He moved back to At-lanta this past summer and works as the collec-tion manager and art preparator for the Sir Elton John Photography Collection.

Murphy defined attaining success in the art world as when he can comfortably live off his creative practice alone. His work is displayed on his website.

“Success is always in the eye of the beholder. I think for me, monetary and professional success is hand in hand with your creative success. As an artist, what makes the difference between a passion, hobby and ca-reer is being able to live off it,” Murphy said.

Shindelman and Michael Ross, a master’s of fine arts candidate in painting at Lamar Dodd, shared Murphy’s senti-ment. Ross spent three semesters at MICA before he left, feeling the need to explore and

learn about the world and his place in it.

He earned his un-dergraduate degree in anthropology and after a decade, picked up where he left off in his art training.

“Just studying art is

not enough. You need to have something to paint about, to fill the well,” Ross said.

It has been 12 years since Ross has started school. In that time, Ross worked as a car-penter and art teacher to support himself while he continued his art practice. Those 12 years allotted Ross time to travel the world, filling his painter’s palette for his return to the canvas.

“I always knew I would return to paint-ing,” Ross said, “I think we live in a competitive and noisy world in gen-eral, and that artists feel they have to be loud to be heard, but you need time in solitude to con-nect with your work.”

A painter at heart, Ross had no intention of continuing a career as a carpenter. He choose in-stead to return to school to hone his skills as an artist. His work can be viewed at the Branded Butcher downtown.

Ross is in the midst of co-curating an in-stallation in the Lamar Dodd bridge gallery. There will be an opening reception on Jan. 18.

“Grad school is a time away from the pres-sures of the real world. I don’t have to worry about making a living for two or three years,” Ross said, “Outside of grad school, you don’t have as many voices out of the studio. Sometimes, you unconsciously adopt the role of salesman, be-cause people who come to your studio might buy your work.”

Ross said there is a community in the art school that has been highly valuable for his art process.

“I haven’t talked about my work so much in the last 10 years as I have in the last two,” Ross said.

ArtIStS: Public liberal arts education broadens the lens no matter the medium

By Ben Dell’OrtO@redandblack

The first weekend back from winter break will see plenty of options for music fans in the Classic City, including a instrumental rock group and a dance party.

Thursday, Jan. 8Chris Forsyth and the Solar Motel

Don’t expect much singing from Chris Forsyth and his band. The group specializes in psychedelic instrumental rock, and virtuoso Forsyth is capable of providing each song with its fair share of memorable guitar parts. Also perform-ing will be Grand Vapids and Blue Blood. The show at Normaltown Hall begins at 8:30 p.m. and tickets are $8.

Friday, Jan. 9Family and Friends

Family and Friends released its solid debut EP, “Love You Mean It,” exact-ly a year ago to the day of this Georgia Theatre show. The group’s high-energy folk-rock will be sure to liven up the venue, and the group’s usage of two drum-mers creates a distinct sound informed by the extra percussion. The show will be joined by Roadkill Ghost Choir and Semicircle. Doors open at 8 p.m., and tickets are $12.

Saturday, Jan. 10.The Dirty Guv’nahs

Though the group originates from Knoxville, Tennessee, The Dirty Guv’nahs has been an Athens favorite for years. The Guv’nahs released its most recent album, “Hearts on Fire” in March of last year, so the set will likely include songs from that release along with old favorites. The Georgia Theatre show will open its doors at 8 p.m., and tickets cost $15.Athens Tango Project Presents: Back to School Dance Party — Featuring Willie Ziavino and the C.O.T. Band

Those looking for a good opportunity to dance need look no further than the Athens Tango Project’s dance party at the 40 Watt Club. The show promises a mix of genres including a mix of pop, salsa, swing and tango and, obviously, dancing is encouraged. Doors open at 8 p.m., and tickets are $8 with a UGA I.D., $10 for general admission.

Music Notes: Jan. 8 - 10

“The Imitation Game” and “Foxcatcher” are two highly different films coming to Ciné on Jan. 9 and Jan. 16, respectively. John RoaRk/Staff

Upcoming Ciné movies impressBy JoRden Wade

@redandblack

“The Imitation Game” goes beyond codecracking

Alan Turing was a ho-mosexual living in England at a time when the alleged “offense” was punishable by death. He also solved the Enigma code used by Nazi soldiers during World War II, but MI6 had to act as if there was no way to crack the code.

Both of these recounts of military history were extensions of the game Turing had to play just to live, as represented in the film’s title. Keeping with the theme of imitation, Morten Tyldum direct-ed the film to imitate a biography of Turing, all the while focusing on themes that correspond to human-

ity and history as a whole.The frame narrative

that is used in this film, made possible by remark-able editing, allows viewers to take a look into the use of imitation to survive and save lives simultaneously.

Benedict Cumber-batch draws on his per-formance as Sherlock as well as his character from “August: Osage County” to portray the brilliant Turing. Cumberbatch is a strong actor with each and every one of his perfor-mances, establishing more and more of his natural ability to transform into the geniuses that are too smart for their own good.

The film’s main narra-tive focuses on Turing after an arrest. It is in this story that he introduces the game of imitation to the cop interviewing him. This

strategic move allows the director to work in actu-al use of Turing’s factual game, as mentioned earlier.

There are two subplots being told throughout the movie as well. Tyldum uses flashbacks to establish the biographical look at Tur-ing’s childhood allowing the audience a look into events that helped develop his character and “issues.”

The other plot focuses on the events that hap-pened in Bletchley Park while solving Enigma, focusing on his relationship with his friend Joan Clarke. Keira Knightley gives a strong performance in this film, portraying Joan Clarke.

His childhood story gives insight into his homo-sexuality, barely mentioned throughout the film’s core plot, but heavily alluded

throughout each frame of the narrative. You don’t find out until later the exact reason for which he was arrested, allowing these flashbacks to work.

The other plot is based more in historical fiction, focusing on Tur-ing and his crew. Turing and a few brilliant others spend endless amounts of time trying to crack the Enigma.

I will say there were a few moments I felt unnecessary, especially the war sequences. How-ever, this is an excellent movie allowing insight into Turing’s life through many different aspects, henceforth establishing the risks that Turing underwent trying to find love just as naturally as any other person. This film serves as an example to the steps everyone, not just England, has made on gaining more respect for human rights.

“The Imitation Game” starts at Ciné on Jan. 9.

Performance and direc-tion drive “Foxcatcher” into dark territories

The du Pont family is famous for their chemical company and its resulting fortune. One of the heirs managed to turn them into something more infamous during the ’80s and ’90s.

“Foxcatcher” is a biographical look into the events that unfolded between John du Pont and the Shultz brothers. The brothers are both gold medalists in wres-tling for the U.S. Olympic team. David is the oldest, and Mark is the youngest. That’s all that needs to be known up front about these characters, as the less audiences know about this story going in, the better.

Bennett Miller direct-ed this as his third feature film following his success with both “Capote” and “Moneyball.” He has a di-recting style that focuses heavily on long takes driv-en by acting and themes, the latter of which are sometimes hidden.

Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum make up the main cast in this film. All three of them delivered some of their best performances to be seen in quite some time.

Ruffalo and Tatum portray the two brothers, David and Mark. Carell portrays John, though barely visible through the make-up and accent. In this role, he creates one of the most terrifying characters in recent film history.

Miller is a genius when it comes to es-tablishing subtext and moods through visuals. The first shot of the film establishes the dark, grey tone of the entire film. It reminded me of “Winter’s Bone” in the sense of showing real, authentic shots of modern America.

The director creates an ominous, dark tone in the opening scene that lasts until the end. It gets worse when du Pont is actually on screen.

“Foxcatcher” is a movie that makes viewers think about the less-cov-eted societal, political and sexual dynamics of American culture. The film has a few holes in the narrative, but achieves as a whole. “Foxcatcher” needs to be seen to be believed.

“Foxcatcher” starts at Ciné on Jan. 16.
