Gameday parking options open
By TAMARA BEST
The Red & Buck
On gamedays, the
University deals with an
influx of people and the
parking dilemma it causes.
On campus, more than
20 parking lots usually des
ignated for students need
ed to be vacated to accom
modate guests.
“I am one of the lucky
ones that does not have to
move my car to another lot
on a different part of cam
pus, but most of my friends
do,” said Kayla Hinson, a
freshmen from Kennesaw.
Parking services sent
e-mails informing students
of the game day parking
restrictions, in addition to
dt. ailed instructions and
maps available online,
according to their Web site
announcements.

schools,” Williams said.
On April 12, the squad successful
ly imploded a pipe bomb a 15-year
old student created and carried into
Jackson County Comprehensive High
School in Jefferson.
The bomb response truck,
equipped with the robot, bomb suits
and containers to deal with hazard
ous materials, is one of six trucks of
its kind in Georgia.
The Georgia Emergency
Management Agency funded the
equipment, worth more than
$200,000.
“The great thing about the robot
is that we don’t have to be in the line
of sight,” Tipton said.
The robot, which can reach items
nine feet high and six feet away, can
board buses, fit through tight spaces,
break windows, twist door handles
and open packages.
“And with the microphone and
speaker, we can communicate with
someone barricaded in a house,” said
Sgt. David Page.
The bomb squad is a unit of
University police staff who work daily
as police officers supervising patrol,
training and crime prevention divi
sions.

humans, he said.
As for weapons, “It’s
against the law to develop
biological weapons,” Lee
said.
This facility will not be
any more equipped to
make weapons than a car
plant is, he said.
The facility has received
nearly unanimous support
from Georgia’s political
and agricultural leaders,
Lee said.
“I think Athens could
use a clean, knowledge
based industry,” Lee said.
Some audience mem
bers voiced concern on the
facility’s water use.
Water from the facility
would flow away from
the Oconee River, which
rims within a mile of
the proposed site on
South Milledge Avenue,
Lee said.
According to the
Department of Homeland
Security, the facility would
use 60,000 to 100,000 gal

In addition to the
restricted areas, there are
areas where parking is
strictly prohibited accord

Web site.
To alleviate traffic
between East Campus and

The K-9 handlers attended K-9
lons of water per day.
While that is a lot of
water, Athens delivers 16
million gallons of water per
day, Lee said.
Another concern was
that the 250 to 350 perma
nent jobs the facility would
bring would add as many
cars to the traffic on South
Milledge Avenue.
“Another 250 is not a
huge leap,” he said.
The University-owned

South Milledge were anoth

“My concern is what will
happen to the animals
there,” Kari Turner, an
assistant professor of ani
mal science, said.
There is a plan under

Lee said.

“Sometimes my friends
and I carpool to avoid the
hassle of finding parking,”
said Ekow Baiden, a junior
finance major from
Marietta. “However, the
best thing to do is arrive on
campus early and obtain a
spot in one of the decks.”
For students who live off
campus and wish to park
in a deck on gamedays,
parking spaces are avail
able on a first come first

Carlton Street and North

For those unable to

that a disease escaped the
facility, the chances of it
becoming a local pandemic

said.
