John Calipari, head coach of the Kentucky men’s basketball team, gave simple advice to his fellow coaches at SEC Preseason Media Day: “Don’t go to sleep on Georgia.”

Calipari himself found that out the hard way after the Bulldogs’ 77-70 conference-opening win over the heavily-favored Wildcats on Saturday.

With the win, Georgia (12-2, 1-0) is enjoying an early boost in SEC play, which has the team slated against Vanderbilt and Tennessee this week.

Both opponents have spent time in top 25 rankings this sea-son, but each suffered losses in their respective conference open-ers Friday.

With confidence at a season-high — matched with their oppo-nents’ recent shortcomings — the Bulldogs look to have an upper hand against the tougher oppo-nents in the SEC East, helping them to an early division lead.

“We felt like last year we kind of had to play a little bit out of char-acter to win some of those,” Georgia head coach Mark Fox said. “We feel like this year, if we just play well, we’re going to be good enough to have a chance to win.”

But Georgia isn’t letting Saturday’s win change how the team handles the rest of conference play.

The Bulldogs faced a similar situation in early SEC action last year, when they upset

Georgia looks to be a SEC contender after league opener

Green leaving early for NFL

By ZACH DILLARDTHE RED & BLACK

A.J. Green is leaving.A 20-minute teleconfer-

ence Sunday afternoon delivered the news Georgia football coaches and fans expected to come this off-season.

The junior wide receiver voiced his decision to fore-go his senior season for the Georgia Bulldogs to enter the 2011 NFL Draft.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for me. This is a long-time dream since I was a little boy and I felt like my skills were up to par to make that next step, and I felt like I proved myself in the best confer-ence in college football from day one,” Green said. “It was one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever made.

Just leaving the brother-hood that I have made at Georgia, the coach-ing staff, they’ve real-ly prepared me for the real world and I’m really going

to miss that.”Much speculation was

made if Green would leave college early for the NFL since his first season for the Bulldogs in 2008, when he established himself as the SEC freshman of the year.

Since his freshman sea-son, Green has gone on to become a two-time All-SEC performer and one of the premier receivers in the country.

“You know, [draft experts have] me going from one to two to three, but you never know with the Draft,” Green said. “It’s going to be a process, and I’m going to work to get as high as I can.”

Green said the team that takes him that high is “going to get a guy that is ready to work.”

The NFL is facing a pos-sible lockout next season due to stalls in negotia-tions for a new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Union. But Green said the possi-bility of a lockout did not factor into his decision, saying “you

As one fraternity disappears from the University, another one returns.

The University’s 110-year-old chapter of Kappa Sigma will not be returning to campus this spring, but Pi Kappa Phi, which was suspended in spring 2010, will restart its operations this semester.

On Dec. 12, 2010, the national office of Kappa Sigma fraternity shut down the University’s Beta-Lambda chapter after the chap-ter violated portions of the Kappa Sigma Code of Conduct relating to hazing and alcohol and controlled substances,

according to a letter sent from the national fraternity to the University’s chapter.

“We’re just very sad about this. It’s always difficult to lose a chapter, especially one this old and with so many wonderful alumni,” said Mitchell Wilson, Kappa Sigma executive direc-tor.

The chapter has until Jan. 15 to file an appeal with the nation-al Kappa Sigma office, though

they haven’t done so yet, Wilson said.

Chapter president Andrew Cunningham was unavailable for comment on whether the Beta-Lambda chapter plans to file an appeal.

Wilson said if the chapter submits an appeal and success-fully appears before the Kappa Sigma board, they may receive

MEMORY LANETurmoil remembered long after desegregation

By KATHRYN INGALL | THE RED & BLACK

Editor’s note: This week the University celebrates the 50th anni-versary of its desegregation. In 1961, Charlayne Hunter (now Hunter-Gault) and Hamilton Holmes became the first black students to attend to the University. The Red & Black asked people who remembered the integration of the University to share their stories.

Joe Willie Wyms has seen a lot of changes at the University in more than 40 years of working a night shift as a custodian.

Wyms, 86, has worked in LeConte Hall since 1969. When Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton Holmes came to campus in 1961, he was working as a gas-station attendant in Athens.

“You could tell if they were prejudiced,” Wyms said, referring to students on campus in the 1960s. “They would jerk their head or give you a look, but it wasn’t bad enough to call the police. After they sent in the GBI, the University quiet-ed down. It never did have any trouble like the others.”

Hunter-Gault and Holmes were admitted to the University only after a long legal battle and a threat to close the University if it did not deseg-regate.

As a member of the Women’s Student Government Association, Carolyn Kelley Hatcher remembers that for a time female students were not allowed to leave their dorms at night for fear of dangerous mobs.

On Jan. 11, 1961, an angry crowd of students gathered near Myers Hall where Hunter-Gault lived.

“I remember the riots very well and I remem-ber the cars and trucks riding down Lumpkin [Street] and shooting off shotguns,” Hatcher said.

Hatcher was living in the central Myers suite at the time of desegregation. Hatcher lived with

Student charged with underage possession after becoming sick with alcohol poisoning

A University student was charged with underage possession of alcohol Saturday after police received reports of a sick underage person at Little Italy at approximately 1:20 a.m., according to an Athens-Clarke County police report.

Police found Zoe Camille Brawner, 20, in a restroom in the back area of Little Italy after responding to a report of an underage female sick with alcohol poi-soning, according to the report.

Officers reported Brawner was passed out in a pool of her own vomit, which also covered the bathroom walls and floor. The officer turned Brawner on her side, as she was still vomiting, and waited for emergency medical services to arrive.

Brawner was transported to Athens Regional Medical Center, according to the report. While being transported, she reportedly spat in the face of the EMS

driver after she was told she would need an IV.

Students report burglaries

On Friday and Saturday, four stu-dents reported items stolen from resi-dences in Athens.

Two students reported Friday their Springdale Street residence was entered and a Wii game system and flat-screen TV were stolen.

A student reported Saturday his First Street residence was entered and a Dell computer and computer charger were taken.

Another student reported Saturday her King Avenue residence was entered through a broken window. It was not determined if anything was missing.

her roommate in the only room on the first floor of Myers, which was reserved for members of the Women’s Student Government Association to live in.

However, Hatcher moved out of the room to allow Hunter-Gault to move in. She said Hunter-Gault was given the room because it was away from other students living in the dormitory and would be safer.

“I remember when they first came on campus — there were a lot of people chanting and yelling. I felt sorry for them,” Hatcher said. “Of course, there were mixed feelings. The imme-diate feeling I had was, ‘Don’t close the University.’ No matter how you felt about it — although I was not against it personally — it was a very scary time for everyone.”

Although Hunter-Gault lived on campus in Myers, Hamilton Holmes lived in a house located off campus at 125 Harris St. with Rev. Archibald Killian and his family.

Killian had just moved back to his hometown of Athens from California and started a restaurant with his brother.

He knew Holmes as a customer at his restaurant and Killian’s brother went to Morehouse College with

Holmes’ father.The threats against

Killian’s home and safety during the University’s integration did not intimi-date him.

“I had served in the Korean War, and I was just as soon to fight here as to

fight there,” Killian said. “Fifty years ago today, everything in Athens was separate except Killian’s. They didn’t like that much, but I had been all over the world and the only place I got mistreated was the place I came from.”

DIVERSE: Some remember ‘mixed feelings’

By MARIANA HEREDIATHE RED & BLACK

For Georgia legislators, the future of the HOPE scholarship is the hot topic of conversation and debate.

And for the University’s Student Government Association, the need to formulate a response is imminent.

Josh Delaney, president of SGA, said the group is putting together a town hall meeting with Len Walker, state representative and chair of the higher education committee, Thursday to address the issue.

“We want to make sure he under-stands we understand the situation. We want action that won’t mean we have to revisit this next year or after, something that will really solve issues,” Delaney said. “We want to make sure he understands the urgen-cy we have about situation, and he understands our priorities.”

Delaney also said this is an issue on which SGA and the administra-tion want to present a unified front to the legislature.

“This is one of those unique cir-cumstances in which the administra-tion and students are in the same path. They don’t have a large say in what happens either,” Delaney said. “As much as we can, we are going to try to stay locked in with them. Georgia legislature doesn’t want to hear different opinions from UGA. If we unify our opinion, we make it stronger.”

Brian Robinson, a spokesman for Gov. Nathan Deal, said the HOPE Scholarship will be a major topic within the state budget that will be released at the State of the State address Wednesday.

“I’m not sure the budget will have specific recommendations on the preserving of the HOPE in the future, but without changes, HOPE will go bankrupt within two years,” Robinson said.

Nevertheless, stu-dents can expect one specific change in the near future.

Beginning July 1, HOPE’s book allow-ance will be reduced from $150 to $75 per semester.

“These are triggers passed already by previous legislation.

The next trigger is to eliminate [the book allowance] completely. Those reforms will not be enough to save scholarship and lottery-funded pro-grams,” Robinson said.

Tom Jackson, vice president of public affairs, said the cut is a small change in the program.

“It is not a relatively large cut. As much as you want people to have their full award, you would hope they would not decide not to go to college over $75,” Jackson said.

Page Walker, a second-year stu-dent from Albany, said she did not

want the reduced book allowance to become part of a trend.

“I don’t want them to keep cut-ting things and doing away with com-ponents. They need to be more cre-ative so that they won’t leave stu-dents financially stranded,” Walker said.

There is no family-income eligibil-ity cap in place to receive HOPE. In 1995, HOPE abandoned the $100,000 family income limit. Although the legislation has not set specific chang-es to the scholarship, Robinson said Deal wants to keep the HOPE merit-based.

“[Deal] does not want it to go need-based. He wants to keep thresh-old at a 3.0 GPA, and he wants to preserve the pre-K fund,” Robinson said.

Robinson added that limiting the size of the scholarship and doing away with remedial class funding are some options for changes.

Jackson said the University could not comment on any of this until the legislature chooses a specific course of action.

Robinson said the legislature had not set up any meetings yet to talk with student groups about the changes, but ideas are welcome.

Millions of dollars can disappear at a fright-ening rate. WNEG has learned that.

And finally, solutions are in sight.After financial woes, construction problems

and a general lack of organization, WNEG has changed staff and allegiances ... and we hope it will work out this time.

WNEG has eliminated 17 positions. These include 12 full-time staff members and five tem-porary workers. Only seven were kept on-board. The regular newscast, produced five nights a week, will be discontinued. A student-produced program will continue.

WNEG has aligned itself with Georgia Public Broadcasting.

It will now be known as WUGA. The editorial board hopes that the new name

will bring new results. We are delighted that WUGA is taking steps toward actual productiv-ity.

For the first time, the station is taking dras-tic steps to deal with a budget crisis that is almost insulting in light of the state’s own money woes.

This new alignment will hopefully allow WUGA to do what it was created to do — help broadcast journalism students prepare for their futures.

WUGA can’t afford to have the same prob-lems as its predecessor.

But if these solutions don’t work, the station needs to provide some answers.

Let’s hope the financial meltdown is over.

Keep the New Year’s resolutions realisticI dodged my mirror

that morning, rolling out of bed.

There was the usual jumble of unorganized clutter around me, but I ignored it.

Blearily staring at the calendar, I was informed it’s January.

Apparently, the time has come — again — to resolve.

Kelly Ripa, my televi-sion tells me, has resolved to lose a little weight, get a little perkier.

Ann Coulter has resolved to devour only three children a week instead of five.

George W. has resolved to read a book.

And me? I’ve decided to resolve not to resolve at all.

Oh, sure, the usual suggestions spring to mind: who couldn’t afford to slim down a little, clean up a bit and gener-ally tidy the sprawl of daily existence?

I could, in this next moment, choose to drive down to the bookstore, buy up every available

copy of Jillian Michaels’ latest whatever-step-plan to Get Skinny Now! and then run over to Vision Video to spend the rest of the afternoon staring at the cover of “Conan the Barbarian” in slit-eyed jealousy.

Or I could finally break out the cleaning products and plastic bins and — with visions of scowling, tobacco-stained “Hoarders” subjects as motivation — begin the process of organizing and shelving and compart-mentalizing my life.

Afterward, I could cel-ebrate by watching info-mercials for the Space Bag.

But not this time, not this year.

I can already see my friends turning out in eager groups with procla-mations resolution-ready on the tips of their

tongues, with the newest never deviating from, “My resolution is to join and stick with a gym.”

Maybe the problem is that I just need more exciting friends.

Or maybe, it’s that the whole process of resolving has become absurd: a cult of self-help as wish fulfillment.

Sure, it’s easier to make goals in small, achievable increments.

But where would be the fun in that?

It is widely acknowl-edged that vowing — no, resolving — to lose 50 pounds by spring break is not an easy accomplish-ment, and that it can drive those who resolve to do it to unhealthy means of execution.

But on New Year’s? Snooki was being dropped from the sky and anything was possible!

So I’ve decided to stay away from resolutions. They’re too neat for me — too cheap.

It’s infinitely more inspiring to tell everyone around you this is the

year you’ll finally com-plete that half-marathon — but it’s an infinitely easier thing to say too, isn’t it?

Declarations are well and good, but what about follow-through?

What about, instead of that presupposed half-marathon, you just went power-walking every night for a week? And then another? And then a month?

It’s the bluster that’s suspect.

So I’ve given it up, at least for the time being. It’s too much smoke and not enough fire.

For the next year, I’m hand-waving away the policy of big talk and sticking with one of a lit-tle action.

That’s my goal, at least.

… Just don’t call it a resolution.

Do you want to scream at the amount of money you paid for your books this semester?

Do you wish you were back at home, relaxing on the couch?

Then send your anonymous, one-line opinions to [email protected] for our Thursday “Sound Bites” feature.

It was obvious for any-one at the AutoZone Liberty Bowl that it would take a miracle for the Bulldogs to pull out a win against the University of Central Florida Knights.

The reason for this was that the Bulldog Nation did not show up. The fans, the players and the coach-es acted like they did not want to be at the Liberty Bowl.

There was no enthusi-asm from anyone on the Bulldog side of the field. Yes, we have had a disap-pointing season with many woes, but it should not matter who your opponent is or if it is the National Championship or the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. You have got to play with the same intensity every time, no matter what.

The team and the fans came into the Liberty Bowl with the attitude that it was going to be an easy win. UCF came into Memphis fired up and ready to play, and they showed that by giving the Bulldog Nation the worst possible ending to the worst season since 1996.

I hope this will be a les-son to everyone in the Bulldog Nation — never take any game for granted.

ALEX MILLS Alumnus, Trion

Social studies education

After our 10-6 loss to UCF in the Liberty Bowl, it is quite clear that head coach Mark Richt has exhausted his value to the University football pro-gram.

Not only have we embarrassed ourselves, but we now are the laugh-ing stock of the SEC. There is no reason we should lose to a Conference USA team, or to have a 6-7 season.

Richt has shown he is unable to win big and important games and he cannot keep his players in line when needed.

If he cannot lead our team to the victories it is capable of, then he needs be let go.

And we’re back.Actually, up on Baxter Hill

at the Red & Black office, we’ve been back for nearly a week, planning and working and getting caught up to produce this issue for you.

Don’t you feel special?You should.See, the other editors and I

want to get to know you. After all, our readers are the reason we stay in business.

So what campus issues do you care about? What do you want to see in the paper? What are we doing that you enjoy? What do you hate?

(But let’s be constructive with that hate question. Letters to the Editor just telling us we suck aren’t really accomplishing anything. Tell us why we suck. Let us know how we could be less suck-y.)

We need to find out what you want to read.

Wishing we had more coverage of the Gym Dogs?

Write us a letter.Got a strong opinion about an

SGA proposal? Write it up and click “column submission” on our website to find out how to get your voice heard.

Is a story idea or question burn-ing in your mind?

Use the “news tip” function on the site and share it with us.

We’ll definitely look into the issue.

We also have some pretty big changes coming to our website — changes designed to make the

paper more interactive for you. Once again, you should feel spe-

cial.Throughout the semester, we’ll

be adding five blogs to the site. Our own Zach Dillard, last

semester’s sports editor, has already started our sports blog — “Dog Days.”

It’s up and running, so take a look.

In the weeks to come, the vari-ety section will take over a food

blog; Samantha Shelton — of Sex in the Classic City fame — is work-ing on an “out and about” blog for the Athens area; we’ll also have a news/politics blog and an editor’s blog.

Best of all, the new blogs mean we’re working on bringing back comments to parts of our website.

The blogs are designed to be more conversational than our regu-lar news stories, and we want you to be a part of that conversation.

Our bloggers will try their hard-est to respond to your comments and keep the dialogue going. With the new comment system, you, the reader, will become a part of a last-ing campus discourse.

And though standard news sto-ries will remain comment-free — write us a letter to respond to these issues — we may add online comments to opinions columns as the semester progresses.

So what do you think? Do you have a comment about comments? Let us know.

Because, as editor in chief, I’m interested in your stories. I want to hear them all, write them down and share them with others. I want to answer your questions and find out more.

You’re why The Red & Black tracks down the big stories. You’re why our reporters are asking tough questions every day. You’re why we do what we do.

And we want to hear from you.

NEWS The Red & Black | Monday, January 10, 2011 | 5

By RACHEL BUNNTHE RED & BLACK

Construction delays. Financial problems. Uncertain future.

These are characteristics asso-ciated with University-owned tele-vision station WNEG-TV, which can now add staff reorganization to the list.

The University announced Jan. 6 the staff of WNEG would be reorganized as it begins its transi-tion from commercial station WNEG-TV to public station WUGA-TV, which will partner with Georgia Public Broadcasting.

The station eliminated 17 employees, including 12 full-time staff positions. Seven members of the staff were retained.

Acquiring WNEG was a goal Grady College Dean Cully Clark brought with him when he inter-viewed for his position in 2006.

“The idea of bringing WNEG here was to allow students to have two years of experience before graduation,” said John Newsome, a senior broadcast news major and production manager for UGA NewSource.

But the transfer of WNEG stu-

dios from Toccoa to Grady College took longer than expected, and WNEG did not begin its program-ming until January 2010.

The station also depleted its $5 million grant much sooner than expected. In September 2010, the University’s Research Foundation voted to use the last of WNEG’s funding to keep the station fund-ed through November.

On Dec. 23, 2010, WNEG part-nered with Georgia Public Broadcasting.

The staff-produced newscast was eliminated, leaving student-produced NewSource as the sta-tion’s local newscast.

“The news arm is going to cease to exist — that’s a little alarming,” Newsome said. “The station was purchased largely for the news. If it doesn’t have a news station, why even have it?”

Clark said though the station has been restructured, student involvement with the station will not have immediate changes.

“Over time, as we add a profes-sional master’s program, there will be more developments for students,” he said. “Nothing changes for students. Over time,

our offerings will increase for stu-dents.”

Clark said that with the con-version of commercial station to private station there will be more opportunities for students to be involved with the University-owned station. Still, Newsome said students were not consulted about the restructuring and are

unsure of how they will fit into the new station format.

“I think it’s a little perplexing. They say it’s a great fit — is it? How is it going to help students?” Newsome said. “As of now it’s all a blur and students still don’t understand it. The idea that stu-dents are not involved is pretty bad.”

WNEG-TV restructures, cuts 17 employeesFRATERNITY: Chapters to ‘move forward’

lesser sanctions. But with-out an appeal, the chapter will likely return to campus after two or three years, he said.

“We really need to wait for this process to com-plete itself, and at that point in time, we will final-ize with the University of Georgia what the future of the chapter will hold,” Wilson said.

With the chapter closed, fraternity members have moved out of the Kappa Sigma house on 160 River Road, said Eric Atkinson, associate dean of students.

Atkinson said the Kappa Sigma House Corporation owns the lease for the prop-erty, so the University is working with them to sub-lease the house to another organization.

He said it hasn’t been decided yet if Kappa Sigma violated the University Code of Conduct and if the members will receive pun-ishment.

“We met with their chap-ter president, and the fra-ternity was unwilling to provide us any information about the investigation,” Atkinson said. “We are still trying to gather informa-tion. We asked the head-quarters for their findings, which they have not pro-vided us yet.”

The University Office of Student Conduct began investigating Kappa Sigma in November after receiv-ing a letter from the nation-al fraternity and a student complaint from former Red & Black Editor in Chief Daniel Burnett.

“When I say ‘investiga-tion,’ they met with the chapter president, we con-tacted nationals, and nei-ther were willing to provide us any information,” Atkinson said.

Atkinson also said this incidence should prompt members of Greek organi-zations to reevaluate if they’re following codes properly.

“We’ve always taken hazing seriously, so we’ll continue to do what we’ve done and what we’re made aware of,” Atkinson said.

Though Kappa Sigma is leaving campus, Pi Kappa Phi is returning to campus after being suspended by the University in March 2010 following hazing alle-gations.

The chapter will operate on a restricted basis until May 15, and it is on proba-tion until Dec. 15, 2014. This means that if there is any violation of University or fraternity policy, the chapter could be closed down completely to return at a later date, said Mark Timmes, national chief executive officer of Pi Kappa Phi.

Timmes said the fall 2009 pledge class will be the only members return-ing this semester. Elections for new Pi Kappa Phi fra-ternity officers, including the president, were held in November 2010.

“We’re rebuilding the chapter around them,” Timmes said. “This will just be pre-organization semes-ter with making sure the students are appropriately trained.”

There are now about 20 members instead of the 80 to 90 before the suspen-sion, Timmes said. He also said a new recruitment class won’t be accepted until fall 2011.

Timmes said Pi Kappa Phi is taking some steps to ensure the chapter is run “appropriately,” including having an adviser present during the next several ini-tiation cycles.

“We’re redesigning a whole new member educa-tion program this semes-ter,” he said. “We hope to move forward in a positive way.”

Wilson said Kappa Sigma also wants its chap-ter at the University to act more properly in the future.

“We want our chapters to function and do things the right way, and we’re blessed that the majority of our chapters do that, but from time to time, there are situations that occur in which chapters are closed,” Wilson said. “It’s never pleasant, but it’s something that’s real.”

The transition from a small institution to the University may leave those transferring feeling like small fish in a big pond.

Bill McDonald, the University’s new Dean of Students, who began this month, came to the Univers ity f rom Presbyterian College — a private college in South Carolina.

Beau Seagraves, assis-tant director for student conduct, served as director of Residence Life and Summer Programs at

Presbyterian College for three years prior to coming to the University in 2007. At Presbyterian, McDonald was Seagraves’ supervisor. However, Seagraves will not be directly working with McDonald at the University. Instead, he will report to McDonald. But there will be several rungs on the ladder in between McDonald and Seagraves.

“I’m happy to support [McDonald] in any way he needs,” Seagraves said. “I think he’s aware of what a large institution is and what it’s about. He under-stands that, but I’ll be happy to support him.”

Seagraves said McDonald will be able to adjust quickly because of his prior experience at the University from 1986 to 1988. Seagraves’ own tran-sition from Presbyterian to the University continues to be a learning experience.

“I guess the biggest challenge is learning the various systems and struc-tures and the people. It was far easier to call up people on campus that you would see in the grocery store or in the dining hall,” Seagraves said. “Those personal relationships were stronger across campus because you’re talking

about 300 faculty and staff versus 10,000. But as you spend more time in an environment like this, you figure out who it is you need to work with and rec-ognize you’re not going to know everybody, whereas at Presbyterian, you really did see most people on a regular basis.”

However, Seagraves said his experience at a smaller school has helped him forge closer relationships with students and colleagues at the University.

“You always hear about the personal attention that you get at a small college, and I have really tried in

my experience here to be attentive to those individu-al needs of students when I get a chance to interact with them,” he said.

Seagraves said he hasn’t noticed any major differ-ences between students at the University and stu-dents at Presbyterian. However, Esra Santesso, an assistant professor in the English department, said students at the University differ from the University of Tampa — a private col-lege of approximately 6,000 undergraduates.

“Because of UGA’s vast-ness and its prominence, I think students come here having a better grasp of what it means to be a stu-dent, and they’re a little bit better prepared in terms of the kinds of transitions they have to undergo from high school to the universi-ty setting,” Santesso said. “I think students have more realistic expectations and they assume more responsibility.”At first, Santesso was hesitant about moving to the University because of its size. However, she said her experience at a smaller col-lege helps her focus more on the individual student.

“I was able to establish personal connections with my students, have them come to my office hours and socialize with them outside of school,” Santesso said. “I taught an honors section here, and the fact that I know their names and interests allowed me to be more effective in the classroom.”

David Erwin, a senior from Woodstock, trans-ferred to the University from Georgia College and State University in the summer of 2008.

One of the challenges he faced was finding a small group of friends in a sea of students at the University.

“It only took me a year to know pretty much half of my grade. And every class I had, I always had it with a lot of people I knew,” Erwin said of his experi-ence at GCSU. “The hard-est transition was just get-ting to know the people here.”

Erwin said the large community at the

University may present itself as a challenge for administrators as well.

“I think [McDonald] will be able to take some of the things he has learned from a school of 1,200 students and apply them on a larger scale, but I think it’ll be a rough transition,” Erwin said. “You really don’t real-ize the magnitude of the University until you get here, until you walk around on campus and until you realize you won’t know everyone. Otherwise, you just get lost in the mix.”

Seagraves emphasized that students’ needs at the University are similar to the ones at Presbyterian College.

“UGA has an incredible infrastructure in place to support students, and I think Dean McDonald will be an integral part of that here just like he was an integral part of the system at Presbyterian,” Seagraves said. “Certainly, we had a much a smaller staff at PC, but we still served our stu-dent population very well. The fact that he has hun-dreds of staff members that will be serving students well here will, under his leadership, provide the support that students will need at the University.”

‘The King’s Speech’

I am told, early into Tom Hooper’s “The King’s Speech” that the Duke of York (Colin Firth) stam-mers.

I am shown, at almost the exact same time, that this is a vexing condition for him — a prideful and slightly tempestuous not-crown prince.

Later, it is both told and shown that this is a condition born of all man-ner of standard Victorian tripe. Sometime around the middle of and well into Hooper’s story, there is telling aplenty, all about the difficulties and neces-

sities of this duke, our hero, overcoming his per-sonal adversity for the public good.

If you miss my sarcasm, the point is this: “The King’s Speech” has wit and humanity, but little substance.

It is a pretty, dignified historical reenactment whose players never stop reenacting within the gild-ed confines of their story — and why should they?

The writer, David Seidler, is too insistent on detail and chronology and telling, and not nearly skilled or swift enough at actual construction.

He has strung together a bunch of historical truths into a larger picture that nonetheless remains entirely of and within its moment. It’s period fluff for its own sake.

But the British have been spinning this stuff for some decades now, so even the thinnest sort of it has flavor.

So, yes, Firth’s duke is never anything more than a repressed, partially unloved stammerer who has lived so long in the longer, greater shadows of the bigger, better men around him he’s forgotten

what light looks like. Geoffrey Rush, as Lionel Logue, the unorthodox speech therapist who ropes the royal into recov-ery, is only ever a twin-kling, faded former actor with boldness but little education.

Hooper, as director, outdoes them all, and proves a wilier showman for this standardly built, squarely uplifting, picture than Seidler.

At moments where the exposition dies away, Hooper stretches himself in playful bounds, reveal-ing an eye for the sumptu-ous uses of perspective.

Notice, in some scenes, how he flattens the planes into an animatronic milieu, while in others he distends the space between dimensions into warped, anxious carica-ture — capturing, without a sound, some of the sense of a public life from the inside out.

And that’s because though “The King’s Speech” is a tale of nobili-ty nobly told, it is only Hooper who really reaches for the people beneath their crowns.

VARIETY The Red & Black | Monday, January 10, 2011 | 9

Classes are back in session, which means all-nighters can no longer coincide with sleeping in until 4 p.m. Here are few new and returning TV series to look forward to while classes get flowing again. New classes and new shows — bring it on, Spring 2011.

Premiering tonight: “Lie To Me” (Fox), 8 p.m.Dr. Lightman struggles with his own mental

stability as he attempts to release a patient from a mental hospital. Meanwhile, Lightman is also asked to investigate an affluent woman’s new boyfriend.

In case you missed it: “Episodes” (Showtime), Jan. 9, 9:30 p.m. Series premiere. Matt LeBlanc (sort of) plays himself in this British series about a husband and a wife who want to write a Hollywood remake of their popular British show.

Warm up with TV

If you’re like me, the concept of getting back into the groove of

things in Athens seems a tad overwhelming.

There is something to be said, however, for pick-ing up where we left off.

Watching the sunrise day after day while under the influence of a Red Bull coma is perhaps (mental-ly) healthy for three weeks, but let’s not forget why it is we wake up for 9 a.m. classes and hop three sep-arate buses to make it into our seat on time.

There is a pride of walk-ing the graduation stage, finding a job and making a name for ourselves.

But as your time at the University comes to an end, the real question is — what do you have to offer? What did you do with your four (or five) years that will make an employer jump the gun to hire you?

Writers have it particu-larly difficult.

Employers want a résu-mé. They want a portfolio. They want to see that you did more than take tests and memorize definitions, that you applied yourself and were involved.

A degree is a wonderful thing to have, but with the job market in hyper-com-petitive mode, it simply isn’t enough anymore.

The good news is, add-ing that little gold star to your résumé is easier than you think.

If you enjoy movies, music, art, fashion, food, theater — and an endless amount of other things —

writing for the variety sec-tion of The Red & Black is the perfect place to get started.

Oh, but you can’t write, right?

I disagree.After you see the best/

worst movie of your life, the first thing you do is tell a friend.

You explain why it was great, why it sucked and how it could have been better.

Put those thoughts in coherent sentences. Sit with me at my desk, and we’ll work through it, throwing ideas back and forth.

Then bam, you’re pub-lished for 33,000 students to read.

It really is that easy. Maybe there’s a certain

thing you’re interested in, such as community service or volunteer work.

Maybe you go weak at the knees for fancy art exhibits or indie documen-taries.

Variety acts as an enter-tainment umbrella, cover-ing all the goodies that the sports, opinions and news sections don’t.

And there are definitely perks — seeing movies before they hit theaters and reviewing albums before they hit Target or Best Buy.

In my first semester at

The Red & Black, I attended a preview screen-ing (for free) of Ben Stiller’s “Greenberg” in Atlanta, then ask him questions the next day on a phone conference from Los Angeles.

I’ve interviewed mem-bers of Motion City Soundtrack, Cage The Elephant, Modern Skirts, The Whigs and Corey Smith.

And AthFest? Unlimited access to all

the shows. Of course, it’s still a job,

but a fun one at that. If you haven’t written

for a newspaper before, the whole thing can seem quite daunting.

Deadlines, Associated Press format, interviews — it’s not exactly something that comes up in your everyday life.

But I am here to ease your transition, to impart a nugget of knowledge or two and to make the entire experience that much more satisfying.

Plus, you’ll be making friends — we really are a lovely bunch of folks — while making yourself more marketable at the same time.

Maybe you aren’t a jour-nalism major, but solid writing skills are needed for all majors.

If joining the variety section interests you, feel free to contact me directly at [email protected].

SPORTS The Red & Black | Monday, January 10, 2011 | 11

By RYAN BLACKTHE RED & BLACK

Prior to Sunday, the Kentucky Lady Wildcats had won 25 consecutive home games, with their last loss coming on Feb. 26, 2009.

The team that beat Kentucky that day?

The Georgia Lady Bulldogs.

After Sunday, the Lady Bulldogs (12-3, 2-0) book-ended the win streak, defeating the Lady Wildcats 61-59 and picking up a third consecutive victory while handing the Lady Wildcats their third con-secutive loss and first at home in almost two years.

While noting it “is always nice to beat a quality oppo-nent on the road,” Lady Bulldogs head coach Andy Landers would not say his team has reached its poten-tial yet.

“I still don’t think we’ve turned the corner,” Landers said. “We’ve got a lot of mistakes and carelessness to correct.”

Much of the “careless-ness” Landers hinted at comes in the turnover department. Georgia com-mitted 28 in that category against the Lady Wildcats (11-4, 0-2), but luckily

Kentucky was also equally as sloppy, committing 24 of its own.

The game itself was an up-and-down affair. After Kentucky took a 14-12 lead with 12:18 remaining in the first half, Georgia went on a 13-0 run to take a 25-14 lead.

But just before halftime, the Lady Wildcats scored five quick points to cut Georgia’s lead to 33-29. The final 13 minutes of the sec-ond half saw Georgia’s lead never grow to more than four, but clutch shooting down the stretch by Khaalidah Miller and ster-ling play from Porsha Phillips defensively helped the Lady Bulldogs stave off the Lady Wildcats’ advance and hold on for the win.

Landers’ earlier criti-cisms aside, it did not mean he found no positives from the victory. Georgia held Kentucky’s top two play-ers, Victoria Dunlap and A’dia Mathies, in check for most of the game.

Dunlap scored 17 points to lead her team — eight of them came from the free throw line — while Mathies got her 14 points on only

5-of-15 shooting.“I think our team

defense was great, I really do,” Landers said. “We didn’t want them to get the 3-ball going, and they didn’t. We didn’t want them to penetrate. They did some, but we made it hard for them to score when they did. They didn’t get a lot out of their offense, with most of it coming on pene-tration. That means we defend-ed all of our cuts.”

On Georgia’s behalf, production came from both u p p e r c l a s s m e n and freshman alike. Miller, the reigning SEC freshman of the week, led all scorers with 24 points, her fourth-straight game reaching double figures.

“She was out of her mind,” Landers said. “She played really, really good, and with a lot of confidence and poise.”

Senior forward Phillips picked up yet another dou-ble-double, finishing with 13 points and 11 rebounds. All of this production came

while Phillips was also guarding last season’s unanimous SEC player of the year in Dunlap on the defensive end. In fact, Phillips played well enough that Landers had to make up a word to describe the performance.

“Porsha ‘warrior-ered’ it out,” he said. “She stayed tough, played a lot of min-utes against one of the best players in the conference and did a terrific job.”

The team’s other star upperclassmen, Meredith

Mitchell, filled the stat sheet, finish-ing with 13 points, six rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks, in a game Landers called “one of the best games Meredith has had since she’s been at Georgia.”

Now heading into its next game, on the road Thursday against Arkansas, Landers thinks the team is coming off one of its most complete games of the season.

“The whole team stepped up and did things as individuals when they needed to, but most of all, they played well together,” he said.

eighth-ranked Tennessee 78-63 for their first confer-ence win.

But the win wouldn’t create enough momentum to propel Georgia any further, and the Bulldogs would go 4-8 the rest of the way.

As a result, the change from non-conference to SEC opponents will not change Fox’s approach to each game.

The team took a break Sunday and resumed its daily practice schedule Monday.

“In league play, you’re going to have to saddle up 16 times,” Fox said. “And when it’s over, it’s over, and you move on to the next one.”

Despite the humble downplay of Saturday’s win by Fox and his players, the team continues to build noticeable momentum.

The Bulldogs have now won nine straight, doing so for the first time since the 1982-83 season.

That same season, Georgia finished 24-10, captured the SEC Tournament Title and reached the NCAA Final Four.

But for the players, Saturday’s win and the historic streak is all part of what they have expected out of themselves the entire season.

“We expect to play with teams like Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida,” said junior forward Trey Thompkins, who scored a team-high 25 points Saturday. “We feel like we are just as good as they are, and it is always going to be a fight when we play them.”

Georgia’s next task is to stay competitive when it enters the hostile environments of SEC opponents, where it was 0-8 last year. The Bulldogs will be on the road twice this week before returning home Jan. 18 against Tennessee. Georgia will also defend its season series against Kentucky when it visits Lexington on Jan. 29.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs remain unbeaten at Stegeman Coliseum this year, now standing at 9-0.

“You’ve got take care of home,” junior guard Gerald Robinson said. “The main thing was defending our homes and we’re looking forward to playing here again soon.”

BBALL: Dogs look tournament bound

Mark Fox was livid.With about 12 minutes

left in Saturday’s SEC open-er against the Kentucky Wildcats, Georgia’s head coach had seen enough. Fox vehemently discarded his suit jacket behind the bench just as No. 12 Kentucky discarded the 11-point lead the Bulldogs had built in the first half.

Georgia had moved away from the efficiency on offense it showed in the first half, and Fox would later call the defense in the early portion of the second half “not very good.” Both of those factors allowed the young and talented Wildcats to claw back into the game, and caused Fox to lose the extra clothing.

But the show of emotion from the second-year head coach turned out to be more of a sign of intensity than a clue that he had lost his cool.

“That’s how [Fox] is — he’s like that all the time,” said star forward Trey Thompkins, who scored a game-high 25 points. “He gets on us like that in practice. But we handled it well. We told ourselves that we had to get to that magical level. Coach tells us that all the time. You don’t want to be too high, don’t want to be too low. Because these are the types of games that we need [to win] if we want to make a run into the [NCAA] Tournament.”

Fox’s team found enough of that “magical level” on Saturday. Although Georgia eventually relent-ed a 56-55 lead with 10 minutes remaining, Fox — and his team — never lost the composure needed to down the favorites to win the confer-

ence title. Some didn’t even notice the

coach’s wardrobe change.“I didn’t even see [Fox] throw off

his jacket,” guard Gerald Robinson said. “I was trying to focus and finish the game because even when you are playing good teams like Kentucky you have to focus, and that was a great team.”

After Georgia pulled off the 77-70 upset there was no overt celebration from the players. No throwing the ball in the air, no piling onto each other at center court. The upset may have been the biggest win in the brief Mark Fox era, but the team never got too high or too low.

“We talked a lot at the half about the fact that we’re mature enough to play two halves,” Fox said. “We’re mature enough to withstand the run that we know they are going to make. And we’re an older team now — we should be able to finish this game if we play the game right.”

The scoreboard was merely a for-mality, as the Bulldogs held a clinic on toughness for the relatively inex-perienced Wildcats. As Kentucky’s leading scorers Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb would point out after the game, Georgia was able to dis-rupt Kentucky’s dribble-drive offense by providing a consistent

physical presence, which the Wildcats not-so-subtly labeled “bumps.”

Kentucky head coach John Calipari searched for fewer excuses, saying Georgia “wanted to win the game more than we did. So they won.”

Georgia downed its share of ranked opponents last year under Fox — notably in home games against then-No. 17 Georgia Tech and then-No. 8 Tennessee — but the significance was diminished by a 14-17 record.

There was no such chaser to sober the excitement this time around. The team is now 12-2 with zero bad losses and a win over the No. 12 team in the country, a record that has tinged the atmosphere in Stegeman Coliseum with an air of confidence.

As the clock ticked down to 19 seconds, Fox donned his suit jacket once again, returning to his typical business-like demeanor. The coach appeared cool and collected as he shook hands with the opposing squad, for he knew what his team had accomplished.

In Georgia’s most important win since capturing the 2008 SEC Tournament Title, fans can come away knowing the Bulldogs are tough and poised to compete in the Southeastern Conference.

And jacket on or jacket off, Mark Fox has his team ready to win right now.

The Summerville, S.C., native has amassed 166 catches for 2,619 yards and 23 touchdowns in 32 career games played.

Those numbers — and a few memo-rable performances — have catapulted him into consideration as one of the all-time great receivers to don the red and black, despite missing seven career games due to injuries or suspension.

“A.J. has made an immeasurable impact on our team over the past three seasons and we wish him noth-ing but the best,” head coach Mark Richt said in a statement.

With Green’s absence, Georgia will be left with a corps of experienced receivers, though none who have dis-tinguished themselves as potential go-to targets for quarterback Aaron Murray.

Redshirt sophomore Tavarres King and sophomore Marlon Brown are slated to be starters on the outside next season, according to most recent depth chart.

“I’m looking a lot at T.K. [Tavarres King], Marlon [Brown], and Woot [Rantavious Wooten],” Green said of his replacements. “I think Mike Bennett is really going to step up from last year, and I think we’re going to have a great receiving corps next year.”
