Student gamers felony possession
University student Gabriel
Seyoung Choi was arrested and
charged Tuesday with felony pos
session of marijuana with Intent to
distribute.
According to the Athens-Clarke
County Police report:
Choi was arrested at his apart
ment after police found a felony
amount of marijuana in two zip
lock bags and $530 cash in his
desk.
After police responded to an
anonymous tip that someone was
smoking marijuana in Choi’s apart
ment, the arresting officer knocked
on his door.
Choi told the officer he had not
been smoking and was alone, then
allowed the officer to search his
apartment.
The officer saw a “water bong”
and a pipe, both smelling of burnt
marijuana, sitting on Choi’s coffee
table, then asked him where he
kept his marijuana.
Choi said it was in his bedroom,

New core curriculum has little effect
By MIMI ENSLEY
The Red & Black
For the first time in about 10 years, the University
System of Georgia has revised its core curriculum
but students at the University won’t see much of a
change, said Arnett Mace, senior vice president for
academic affairs and provost.
The revised core curriculum approved by the
Board of Regents at a meeting Wednesday will
give institutions the flexibility to create unique core
curricula to meet their specific needs, a proposal
submitted to the Regents states.
“We don’t think this will have a msgor impact on
the University of Georgia whatsoever,” Mace said in
a phone interview Wednesday.
He said the revisions to the core curriculum offered
“sufficient flexibility” for the University to continue
with the policies already in effect at the school.
Jere Morehead, vice president for instruction at
the University, served on the Core Curriculum
Evaluation Committee for the Regents, which
reviewed the core curricula at USG institutions and
managed the revision process.
“The committee was impressed by what [the
University] already has done in this area,” Morehead
wrote in an e-mail Monday. “The committee was able
to accomplish its work without impacting [the
University’s] core.”
On the system level, the curriculum change is tied

to the USG’s strategic plan, said John Millsaps,
spokesman for the Regents. One of the goals of the
plan is to strengthen the undergraduate experience
at all schools within the system.
“We look at [the core curriculum] periodically to
make sure students are' given that core basis of
knowledge they will need,” he said.
Under the revised core, students will also be able
to easily transfer credits between USG institutions,
Millsaps said.
Even if the core requirements differ between two
schools because of the greater flexibility the
revised core allows all core courses will still be
transferable within the university system, the pro
posal states.
According to the proposal, this means schools
could have to transfer credits across areas within the
core for example, credit given for a math course at
one university might transfer into another institu
tion’s social sciences area.
“The USG’s core curriculum provides its students
with an ease of transfer that is almost unrivaled,” the
proposal states.
The Regents also approved two proposals to end
mayors at the University, Millsaps said.
Both the master’s program in headth promotion
and behavior and the Bachelor of Arts with a major
in mathematics wiil no longer be offered. The math
ematics mayor is still offered as a Bachelor of Science
degree.
and motivation support.
So why does Vanderbilt
still outrank the
University?
Morehead said
Vanderbilt’s rela
tive success is
because of the
academic quality,
money and the
overall profile of
its student body.
“If you compare
graduation rates
there is correlation
between gradua
tion rates and the
academic quality of the
students,” Morehead said.
“Vanderbilt has very high
quality students, and is

Morehead said the

schools, suchas Vanderbilt,
normally have higher

The driving force behind
someone’s success.
The internal voice that
pushes a person beyond what

It kick starts a tattered

seems too lackluster.
"I knew that I didn’t want
to be a product of my envi

Roundtree, a former Georgia
women’s basketball player.
“Everyday I got out and
played, I just tried to envision
myself being more than what
my environment, being more

The Kilgore junior college

play for head coach Andy
Landers and the Lady Dogs
in 1994, quickly solidifying
herself as the most renowned
women’s basketball player to
ever compete during Landers’
tenure.
“While I was going through
it, I just never would have
imagined that a kid from
Anderson, S.C., would have
been the player that I was
[while I was] there,”
Roundtree said. “Just coming
from what I came from, just

thought I could be anybody.”

also scored more than 1,000
points as a Lady Dog and still
holds the record for assists in
a season with 226.
“I got [to Georgia], I knew
I wanted to take them to a
championship, but I never
would have thought that all
the lives I would have touched
while I was there,” Roundtree
said.
Since earning her degree in
sociology, Roundtree played
three seasons in the American
Basketball League, two with
the Atlanta Glory and one
with the Nashville Noise
before hanging up her basket
ball shoes and picking up a
whistle.
Roundtree began her
coaching career at Morris
Brown College in 2001 before
taking the head coaching gig
at North Carolina A&T. The
former Lady Dog was then an
assistant coach at the
University of Alabama for one
year, as well as Central
Florida.
The South Carolina native
then found herself back in her
hometown in 2007 when she
accepted the position as an
assistant coach for the
Clemson Lady Tigers
Basketball squad.
After a two-year stint with
the Lady Tigers, Roundtree
made Denton, Tex., home
when she accepted an assis

University of North Texas.
