Service opportunities abound at Memorial Park
By TOM MARINE
The Red & Black
Some University students
help maintain Memorial Park as
a way to complete their
community service requirement,
facility supervisor John McKinney
said.
“We get a lot of kids doing
community service,” he said.
“It gives us a labor force.
Some of them take the initiative
and are very helpful. Others
don’t.”
McKinney said the students
carry out various tasks at the
park, such as picking up trash,
cleaning picnic areas, washing
cars and providing general trail
maintenance.
Although he keeps track of
the hours students work,
McKinney said he doesn’t hold a
set schedule.
“It’s all up to them,” he said.

The Red & Black
Tailgaters reveled in
pregame festivities before
kickoff last Saturday as
volunteers helped fans with
recycling.
Gameday Recycling set
up 75 green and white recy
cling bins on campus and
six hundred recycling bags
were doled out to Georgia
fans.
Athens-Clarke County
Recycling workers sported
T-shirts encouraging fans
to “Dawg gone it, Recycle”
as they offered an option
for recycling amidst the
festivities.
More than 1,500 pounds
of recyclables were collect
ed, said waste production
manager Suki Janssen.
Gameday Recycling
began in 2006, according to
its Web site, as a collabora

Kim Ellis, associate dean for
judicial programs, said in an
e-mailed response students
assigned community service
through the judicial process can
complete the requirement at var
ious sites.
Ellis said the site needs to be
approved by the Office of Judicial
Programs before the student
begins work. If a student needs
help finding an assignment, she
said her department has a list of
approved sites.
“As for Memorial Park, I’m not
sure how many students, if any,
have been assigned to or done
service with that particular loca
tion for a judicial sanction,”
Ellis said.
Recycling Division and the
University. More than
seven tons of recyclables
were collected in the first
year alone.
“The county can’t keep
picking up the cost,”
Janssen said in an inter
view Saturday.
“It needs to be funded
by the Athletic
Association.”
According to Janssen,
the University has a con
tract with American
Stadium Services to handle
waste management on
game days.
Bill Fox, president of the
Stadium Services corpora
tion, said in an earlier inter
view that his crew collected
more than 35 tons of waste
following games. Under
their contract with the
University, recycling is not
required.

There are many jobs at the
park that McKinney said
students are not able to per
form.
For example, students would
not be able to reduce the level of
mud and silt building up in the
park’s two ponds due to storm
water runoff.
Doug Ehman, Athens-Clarke
County park services administra
tor, said there is a plan to clean
and reconfigure the ponds at
Memorial Park.
Ehman said a University envi
ronmental design class contact
ed him about a short-term proj
ect. He said he gave them a list of
options that included creating a
strategy to improve the lake’s
overall health.
“(The project) would be bene
ficial to me because it’s going to
take a lot of work off my work
load,” Ehman said.
He said the class will decide in
two weeks.
alter the package they have
with the private waste
company to include recy
cling,” Janssen said.
“We were just trying to
come forward and show
them .that i.t could be
done.”
No one from the Athletic
Association returned phone
calls to respond.
Dexter Fisher, director
of services of the University
Physical Plant, said the
lack of University funding
is not due to apathy but to
the lengthy planning pro
cess.
“It’s gonna be a team
effort,” Fisher said. “It’s
just a matter of coordinat
ing everything and getting
it all together.”
“When we do it, we want
to do it right.”
Todd Wiggis, a University
alumnus from Atlanta, said
the Gameday recycling
bins are a good idea.
NEWS
“Having the bins here
and accessible, the odds of
people recycling are great
er,” Wiggis said.
Erin Coleman, a
teacher from Dacula, said
she promotes recycling to
her pupils.
“If they want to be able
to have the Earth that we
have now, they have to
learn to recycle now,”
Coleman said.
Janssen said in addition
to more funding, Gameday
Recycling needs volunteers
to stay afloat.
Volunteers can help
recycling efforts and attend
the game afterward.
“We’re gonna continue
trudging forth,” Janssen
said about the current
direction.

Wednesday afternoon. Maintaining the park is an option
for those trying to fulfill community service requirements.
PERDUE: ‘Core qualities’
are trust and integrity
► From Page 1A
to students in a leader
ship course Wednesday,
he expressed optimism on
issues facing students.
“Students at UGA are
expected to be leaders in
our state,” he said. “I
think y’all are gonna live
in the most exciting times
we’ve seen.
“It is a five-letter word
that is the foundation of
everything I know about
leadership the lubri
cant of society trust.”
He said personal integ
rity is necessary in both
non-leaders and leaders of
society.

“Can you be trusted
when it’s not in your best
interest?”
Perdue also discussed
his switch from Democrat
to Republican in 1998.
“I saw things not being
done well, and it violated
my conscience.”
“I could quit and go
home, or I could change
parties,” he said of his
decision.
Asa result, Perdue said
he was in political exile.
“I was wearing a differ
ent political jersey. There
was a proactive effort to
be punitive toward me.”
Perdue said his return
to University classes took
four years.
“I am always happy to
be back on UGA’s cam
pus.”
