“We worked ,to set up a
perimeter to try to contain
the suspect,” Williamson
said. “Athens-Clarke
County was tracking
through the woods with
dogs.”
Williamson said his offi
cers were stationed along
Riverbend Road and
Milledge Avenue and
Athens-Clarke County offi
cers maintained the rest of
the perimeter.
A message that said,
“Resume normal activities.
The campus is considered
safe,” was issued through
UGA Alert around 3:50
p.m.
Some students said the
message didn’t say enough
to put fears to rest.

Who needs a grocery store?
By JENNIFER JOHNSON
The Red & Black
One reason students attend col
lege is to get a degree and one day
become successful. But what many
don’t know is,all they have to do to
bring home the bacon is visit East
Campus on a Friday afternoon.
“I think it’s kind of a well-kept
secret,” said Ronnie Silcox, an asso
ciate professor in the animal and
dairy science department and a meat
sale customer of more than 10 years.
Every Friday, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.,
the Meat Science Technology Center
hosts a meat sale where students,
faculty and the general public can
purchase locally grown, quality beef,
pork and lamb at reasonable prices.
Ryan Crowe, manager of the
MSTC, said one of the advantages of
the meat sold there is the dry age
flavor that improves the intensity of
the meat flavor.
“If you’re looking for something
that’s local, all of the animals are
coming from UGA farms, and you
can’t get bacon like we make any
where else,” Crowe said.
“Our products are vacuum packed

gymnastics involved with

[then].”
And though their form
of cheerleading did not
involve as many acrobat
ics as it now does, they
were loyal to the craft.
Standing in the sun for
hours during the end of
the summer months, with
the notorious Georgia
humidity lingering in the
air, the “long skirts” bel
lowed their cheers from
the sidelines.
“I guess you can say
pride knows no pain,
because we did it. It could
be 95 degrees and we were
in the sweater,” she said.
“That wool though, woo,
when those things got wet,
they really had a stench.
But we had a really good
time.”
And the longtime
Georgia fan still enjoys
rooting for her favorite
men in silver britches.

swathed in her original
uniform Saturday —one

voice to the already deaf

92,000 Bulldog fanatics.

forms,” she said.
The tradition of alumni
cheerleaders returning to
Sanford Stadium to cheer
on the Bulldogs began
during the tenure of head
cheerleading coach Mike
Castronis.
Castronis coached
Georgia cheerleaders from
1972 to 1986, and
Thompson said she’s been
coming back for
Homecoming ever since
the revered coach called
to invite her to pick up the
pompoms once again.
Now, the University
cheerleaders have a cheer
leading association,
CHEERS, which is respon
sible for informing alumni
cheerleaders of the year’s
Homecoming events.
Joining Thompson in
carrying on the tradition
is 1947 University gradu
ate and former cheerlead
er Curtis Beall, who
cheered at UGA in ’42 and
’43 the year the Bulldogs
won the Rose Bowl.
“It was great,” Beall
said, referring to the
Bulldogs’ 9-0 victory over
UCLA on Jan 1., 1943.
Beall, who now lives in
Dublin, Ga„ will be sport
ing his 67-year-old cheer
leading sweater this week
end, and said he is ready to
be back in the Classic City.
“I’ll be leading the Dogs
out on the field Saturday,
and I want to get word to
coach [Mark] Richt that
this 87-year-old Marine
Dawg, that’s D-A-W-G, is
going to slow down so I
won’t get too far in front
of his football players,”
Beall said with a chuckle.

and hard frozen and should last up

Brad Lowe, a graduate student
working on his master’s degree in
meat science, and the facility’s assis
tant manager. “You get a little better
quality for your money.”
Lowe said bacon is one of the
most profitable products.
“They have very good hamburger
meat, and I especially like their Italian
sausage and bacon,” Silcox said.
Crowe said the meat lab under
goes frequent USDA inspections to
ensure safety and quality.
Aside from the quality and price,
the meat sale also provides funding
and opportunities to students and
faculty of the department.
“The funds all go back into the
department budget,” Silcox said.
“All of the animals are raised here on
the farm; this is just our way of sell
ing them.”
Crowe said the funds help the
MSTC and other units within the
department to keep the department
functioning as a whole.
Over the course of a year, Crowe
estimates 120 head of cattle, 200 to
300 hogs and about 30 sheep get
player, converted into a
cheerleader, who was

U.S. Marine, intends to
teach students a thing or
two about cheering on the
team.
“[A cheer] we used a
good bit was, ‘Glory, glory
to ol’ Georgia ... and to
hell with Georgia Tech.’ I
think that’s kind of
frowned on now; it’s not
politically correct,” Beall
said. “But I led the stu
dent body in that cheer
last year, and I intend to
do it again Saturday.” ■
Thompson, in a sing
song voice, recalled the
melodies the cheerleaders
of the ’sos would employ
to pump up the crowd.
“We had great songs
that you don’t hear now:
Georgia, Georgia hear the
Bulldog growl, scrapping,
snapping hear him howl
...,” she sang. “We did a lot
of silly things looking at it
now, but, you know, it was
a more innocent time and
we would do things like,
‘Push ’em back, push ’em
back, way back.’”
But as the years roll by,
and Thompson’s days at
the University drift further
and further away, it’s
increasingly more difficult
for her to join in on all of
the Homecoming festivi
ties.
“You kind of pray you
don’t fall down, or drop
dead out there,” she
laughed. “The one year I
went to the parade I was
just so worn out. It’s bet
ter for me to just jump
around you start think
ing you’re young and cute
when you’re out there.”
processed, and in any given week
upward of 600 pounds of meat are
sold.
“I would say the greatest benefit
would be to the students who work
here who get the experience in a dif
ferent aspect of agriculture than
they’re used to,” Lowe said. “Most
people are used to crops and cows in
the pasture; this puts it all togeth
er.”
Crowe and a staff comprised
almost solely of students run the
meat sale. The meat lab also assists
with three undergraduate and three
graduate courses.
“We show students about the ani
mals and how the food gets from the
pasture to the plate,” Lowe said. “We
teach about USDA inspections, food
safety, food quality, safety precau
tions, how it’s cut and how it’s pro
cessed.”
Whether it is the product or the
principle of supporting the depart
ment, the meat sale has maintained
a loyal customer base.
“They get a lot of repeat custom
ers,” Silcox said. “They come in, they
buy the products and they come
back.”
