Myers offers residents keys to parking
JOANNA HORTON
Campus Correspondent
The key card — don’t leave home
without it.
Getting into Myers Community
parking deck is now like getting
into an exclusive club. But instead
of passwords, members use key
cards.
Parking Services began this
uarter issuing key cards to resi-
ents of Myers, Rutherford, Soule
and Mary Lyndon halls to give
them a better shot at getting
parking spaces, said James Tardy,
director of Parking Services.
The key card system is designed
to limit parking access to Myers
Community residents. The in

opening of Soule Hall this fall,

along with the fact that visitors
often try to park in housing lots,
played a part in the development of
the new system, Tardy said.
“With the competition with the
Georgia Center conferees and
people attending events at the Col
iseum, we felt it best to gate the lot
for the Myers community resi
dents,” Tardy said.
Leena Tawny, a sophomore
management information major
living in Rutherford, said, “Last
year it was a problem because non
residents parked in the lots. The
key card system really makes it
easier on us."
Even with the new system,
parking is scarce.
Myers resident Eric Moore said,
“It seems that they gave out more
key cards than there are spaces.
Even though I have a key card, I
am often paying to park in the deck
because I can never find a space.”
The cost of parking in the South
Campus parking deck is a min
imum of 60 cents, plus 30 cents for
each hour after the first two hours.
The total for a 24-hour period is
$2.40.
There are 800 to 900 residents

campus, only 248 parking spaces
are available in the three parking
lots adjacent to the Myers Commu
nity residence halls.
No other residence hall parking
lots have the key card system, al
though additional systems are a
possibility.
Tardy said, “We recognized that
other places on campus would ben
efit from a key card system. How
ever, (the Myers) lots are the most
critical because of their location to
the Georgia Center and the Col
iseum.”
Key honors students

Georgia Supreme Court Chief
Justice Harold Clarke told stu
dents, faculty and alumni at the
27th annual Blue Key Alumni Ban
quet that dedicated leadership will
allow Georgia to continue to grow
into one of the largest, most pro
ductive states in the nation.
The Blue Key national honor
fraternity recognizes students with
outstanding character and lead
ership.
At the banquet Saturday, Clarke
described Georgians as, “most for
tunate people” who have survived
many hardships.
‘The taint of the red clay never
leaves your being or your blood,” he
said.
In the past, there’s been neg
ative literature about Georgia, as
well as a negative interpretation of
Georgia by surrounding areas,
Clarke said:
“Negativism still exists,” he
said, “Georgia deserves a positive
public perception.”
Clarke went on to praise the
University and the leadership abi
lities of Blue Key members.
“Even though Atlanta prevailed
over Athens, Greece, nobody pre
vails over Athens, Ga.,” Clarke
said.
The people within the Univer
sity will be the people to lead
Georgia, he said.
Outstanding Georgians and stu
dents are awarded for their contri
butions to the University during
the banquet.
Louis Sohn, vice president of
Schapiro and Son, Inc., and Hen
rietta Singletary, a former deputy
assistant secretary of agriculture
for rural development with USDA,
were awarded Blue Key awards.
Sohn is a member of the Univer
sity’s foundation board and the
Alumni Society. He’s been active
with the University since he grad
uated in 1940.
Singletary is an honorary
member of Ag-Hon and a member
of the University’s President’s
Club. She is also a trustee of the
University Foundation.
The 5th annual Young Alumnus
Award was presented to Diane
Vaughan. The award recognizes
outstanding young Blue Key
alumni who have made contribu
tions to the University and commu
nity since graduation.
Vaughan, executive director of
the Children’s Miracle Network
Telethon in Atlanta, is president of
the Young Alumni Council, and a
member of the University’s Alumni
Society’s Board of Managers.
Recipients of the Tucker Dorsey
Memorial Scholarship were Trey
Googe and Carrie Dieterle. The
award is given to students with
dedication and leadership similar
to that of Tucker Dorsey, founder
of the Blue Key Awards Banquet.
Extended alcohol sales on council’s agenda
By DANA WHITE
Staff Writer
Public opinion could be the de
ciding factor at tonight’s 7:30 p.m.
City Council meeting, Linny
Bailey, Ward 3 representative and
finance committee member, said.
The council will hear a recom
mendation by the Finance Com
mittee to extend alcohol sales until
2 a.m.
“I think we’ll have a large
turnout,” Bailey said. The issue of
alcohol sales affects University
students because they compose a
large number of the bars’ patrons,
he said.
The community-at-large also
represents a measurable pa
tronage, he said, but it’s also con
cerned about moral implications
and public safety.
There will be many people at the
meeting on both sides of the issue,
Bailey said. The council will vote
on the recommendation unless
there is a motion to hold it.
Some people could bring peti
tions or letters to the council, he
said.
“All of us try to keep an open
mind,” Bailey said. “Public com
ments can sway your vote.”
The finance committee’s recom
mendation is in the city’s best in
terest economically, he said.
City ordinances require that
bars and restaurants stop selling
alcohol at 1 a.m. on weekdays.
However, alcohol sales in Clarke
County can continue until 2 a.m.
The city isn’t operating on an
equal standard with the county, he
said.
Bailey said another argument
for extension is that people might
drink more slowly if they’re given
more time, instead of rushing to
drink a lot before last call.
Walt Light, Athens Area Restau
rant Association president, said he
and others in favor of the extension
will attend the meeting.
Light said he is confident the
recommendation will pass and he
isn’t expecting any surprises at the
meeting, but he added that any
thing is possible.
Malcolm Cummings, executive
director of the Georgia Association
of Christian Schools, said he plans
to attend the meeting.
He said the hours of liquor sales
should be moved back to midnight
— not extended. Cummings said
Athens is n university town for ed
ucation and not a “fun city.”
He said extending hours would
be making a statement to students
that Athens is a “wide-open town.”
“Next thing you know there will
be all night liquor sales,” he said.
Cummings added,“I would hop**
we have enough class in the Classic
City to keep it classic.”
