More than just a fan club
By KATIE VALENTINE
The Red & Black
Dumbledore’s Army: now accepting
all Muggles.
The club that was started in J.K
Rowling’s series now has a chapter at
the University, and no wizarding experi
ence is necessary to join.
Forrest Sherman had hoped to join a
Harry Potter fan club at the University
this year, and when she found that there
wasn’t one, she and her roommates
decided to start their own.
“I went to the clubs Web site as a spur
of the moment thing, and found out that
the dates to start a club weren’t over
yet,” said Sherman, a sophomore from
Powder Springs.
Taking advantage of their timing.
Sherman and her two roommates Laura
Quirk and Alex Gorrell started
Dumbledore’s Army, the University’s
first organization based solely around
the Harry Potter series.
But Sherman said Dumbledore’s
Army isn’t just a Harry Potter fan club.
“We’ve only had one meeting, but we
have a lot planned for this year,” she
said, mentioning events such as a scav
enger hunt and a costume contest on
Nov. 1.
Sherman said she also wants to get
the club involved with the Athens com
munity by promoting literacy —and the
love Of Harry Potter in public schools.
“My sister’s a first grade teacher at
Whit Davis Elementary, and we’re plan
ning on going there to read Harry Potter

to the kids,” she said.
The club officers are planning a trip
to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a
new attraction opening at Universal
Studios in Orlando next spring. Sherman
said the trip would be open to all mem
bers of the club, and would ideally be
during spring break.
The officers plan to attend a few
matches of the University’s Quidditch
team as supporters and to try to recruit
new members to Dumbledore's Army.
Fifteen people attended the club’s
first meeting, and the officers hope the
number will grow. To help bring in new
members, they plan to make Harry
Potter-themed food for each club meet
ing.
“We made butterbeer for the first
meeting, and it was really good,” said
Quirk, a sophomore from Norcross. “It
was really easy to make there are a
ton of recipes online for Harry Potter
food, so we want to try to bring some
thing different to each meeting.”
The officers said their goal this year is
to see the club grow.
“We want to get a big enough club to
where it will stick around for next year,”
Quirk said. “We want the club to be
around for future generations of stu
dents, because I don’t feel like people
could ever get tired of Harry Potter.”

agree on many other things, and we really
are good friends,” Napolitano said.
Waldman said abortion is an issue that
deserves serious attention.
“There are deep moral issues on both
sides of this,” he said, adding he wanted
to find a common ground between those
two sides.
“Abortion should be safe, legal and
rare," Waldman said, quoting Clinton. “We
have a chance to move past the debates
that have clogged this issue for the last 30
years.”
The debate, moderated by Edward
Panetta, an associate professor in the
speech and communications department,
was formatted to give both Panetta and
University students an opportunity to
question the debaters about abortion.
The questions covered related issues
including the recent health care reform
bill.
“Both sides agree that this fight should
not spill into this bill,” Waldman said, say
ing health care reform should be “abor
tion neutral.”
“Who in their right mind would pro
pose health care in the hands of people

competition.”
“Just going outside and
moving around is really
fun," Hansen said. “Kids do
it all the time, squirrels do
it.”
But some see parkour
more as a solution to every
day obstacles.
“If there’s a crowd of
people and the stairs are
closed, you can just climb
the wall,” said John
Lubeski, who has been
involved in parkour for two
and a half years.
“I really have to say [my
favorite thing is] the sense
of freedom that we get,”
O’Neil said. “And knowing
that any obstacle that we
do, we can find a variety of
ways to overcome. And
that can be in our environ
ments, or in our personal
lives.”
O'Neil said he enjoys the
return to nature that park
our gives him, and the
peace it brings.

that have bankrupted everything they
have attempted to manage since the
beginning of the federal government?”
Napolitano asked.
And what if Roe v. Wade were over
thrown?
“There’s no federal right to abortion,”
Napolitano said, adding the result should
be a states’ rights issue.
“You can’t authorize abortion because
it’s done neater or cleaner by a doctor,
than by a monster in an alleyway,” he said.
“Tell that to the baby that died.”
In response, Waldman said it is not just
the aborted fetus in danger from “back
alley abortions,” but the woman carrying
the fetus as well. He said if Roe v. Wade
was overturned, he believed society would
be in a “wild fracas” about the issue of
abortion putting people in the same
position they are now with the issue.
“Republicans tiptoe up to [a reversal]
and one way or another it doesn’t hap
pen,” Waldman said.
Regardless of their differing viewpoints,
Napolitano and Waldman have agreed to
disagree on abortion.
“We don’t disagree that privacy should
be protected,” Napolitano said. “We dis
