Board approves positions
By BRITTANY COFER
The Red & Black
The Board of Regents approved
requests by the University to establish
two chair positions and a professorship
at a meeting Tuesday.
John Millsaps, spokesperson for the
Board of Regents, said in a phone inter
view Tuesday night that the requests
were “fairly straightforward” and there
was no opposition from the BOR.
The Georgia Research Alliance
Eminent Scholar Hank Haynes Chair in
Forest Biotechnology was approved and
effective as of Tuesday. An endowment
of $750,000 to the Daniel B. Warnell
School of Forestry and Natural Resources
supported the approval of the position,
which will involve developing a research
and education program in forest bio
technology at the University.
The College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences received
$300,000 from Georgia Power for the
establishment of the Georgia Power
Professorship in Environmental
Remediation and Soil Chemistry. A pro
fessor with a national and international
reputation in soil and environmental
Local band showcases light-hearted songs, toe-tapping tunes
By CAMERON HUBBARD
The Red & Black
A traditional pop-rock song often
involves lyrics about love or heartbreak,
not cheese or sunglasses.
“I’ve always enjoyed the parts [of
shows] where you sort of throw some
thing out there that’s, in your mind, pretty
ridiculous. And to see somebody catch
that like, ‘Wait. What? Was he singing a
song about cheese?’ That moment is what
I enjoy,” said Jason Harwell, 29, guitarist
and vocalist for The Warm Fuzzies.
Indeed, with light-hearted songs about
cultural conundrums (“Why Do Girls Wear
Big Sunglasses?”), local group The Warm
Dizzies doesn’t play traditional pop-rock,
even if it sounds like it at first.
The band’s six-song EFJ “Bubblegum,”
is aptly named. Each song has that “stuck
in your head for days” quality. Plus, the
scratch ’n’ sniff CD actually smells like a
fresh piece of Bazooka.

Also established was the Earl Davis
Chair in Taxation, which will be funded
by $2 million of donations. The appoint
ed professor will teach in the School of
Accounting.
The Board also approved a request by
the University to declare one acre of land
at the Tifton Campus as “no longer
advantageously useful to the University,”
according to the proposal. The land will
be sold for $13,000 to the Georgia Pecan
Growers Association, Inc. to establish a
branch office to support collaboration
between the University and the GPGA.
Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr.
addressed the overall budget cuts the
University System of Georgia has faced
in the past year during his annual State
of the University System address at the
day-long meeting. ,
“We must solve our budget crisis,”
Davis said, according to a published
account of his speech on the Board of
Regents Web site. “But we must not sac
rifice the important the historic legacy
in this state of public higher education
as a clear public good that adds value to
the lives of all residents across Georgia.”

With no shortage of synthesizers, sing
a-long choruses or infectious beats, the
group has crafted the kind of record that
inspires some serious toe-tapping.
Song titles such as “Space Invaders”
and “Queso Love” may look a little silly,
and they are. The result of a disjointed
song-writing process, the lyrics were writ
ten around titles that already existed.
“Basically I named them just so I could
know which one was which. I didn’t really
have any thought behind it,” said drum
mer Davey Staton, 40.
“The challenge is now to write a song
to fit the title,” Harwell said.

times “ridiculous” quality of its songs, it
maintains that the silliness is secondary
to the music.
“We definitely take it seriously,” Harwell
said. “But it’s something that we hope is
fun for people. And, you know, if it’s
slightly ridiculous and you have a good
time while you’re there, that’s mission
accomplished for us.”
Before creating The Warm Fuzzies,
Harwell and Staton both played music in
other capacities.
“Like about a billion other people, I
was a singer-songwriter doing folk-pop.
That sounds horrible to say now because
when you say that, people think Edwin
McCain, John Mayer or Jack Johnson.
That was not the model,” Harwell said.
Staton, for his part, was on quite the
opposite end of the spectrum, lending his
talents to post-punk band Heros
Severum.
Despite their disparate backgrounds,
Harwell and Staton came together in 2007

easy..,
to create some fun, catchy, slightly silly
pop rock.
Though the band has played just five
shows and only released “Bubblegum” in
Dec. 2008, Staton and Harwell say public
reception has been positive so far.
“To be honest, I’ve been a little sur
prised that it’s been so positive. I thought
surely we’d be pegged as just Weezer rip
offs,” Staton said.
“You kind of expect the worst,” Harwell
said.
Tonight’s show with local groups
Marriage, Polar Opposite Bear and
Freakaboo, however, will be a collection of
very different bands, colliding sugary pop
and heavier rock. Still, Harwell and Staton
said they think the variety is something
the audience will appreciate.
“I think it’s a good thing to have vari
ety. You don’t want to go hear four bands
that sound alike,” Staton said.
“Even if they all leave, it’s kind of epic
in some sort of way,” Harwell said.
