South Campus
By TIFFANY STEVENS
The Red & Black
Tate Plaza became the barnyard
for a few University farm animals
Tuesday as part of Ag Awareness
Day, hosted by the University chap
ter of Sigma Alpha.
“We started this a few years ago
because there’s often a huge mis
understanding between North and
South Campus,” said Gena Perry,
first vice president of Sigma Alpha
Professional Agricultural Sorority.
“We try to hold two awareness
events a year to raise awareness
and also to promote safety with
animals.”
Several agricultural clubs pro
vided information and demonstra
tions at the event, including
Agricultural Communicators of
Tomorrow, Block and Bridle, and
the Pood Science Club. Students
and passersby could visit the
Poultry Science Club booth to
interact with baby chickens, and
the UGA Dairy Science Club pro
vided a petting area that included
a week-old calf named “Old Man.”
Katie Williams, president of the
Dairy Science Club, said the calf
was brought to Tate from the
University’s dairy.
“We wanted to show people the
connection to where some of their
dairy comes from,” she said.

said his Diamond Dogs
were full of “uncertainty.”

to the Clemson Tigers
Tuesday night solidified
that further.
The nine runs the Tigers
piled on in the game's first
two innings proved to be
an insurmountable deficit
for Georgia (10-18, 2-7

15-5 to the visiting Tigers.

“We explain more of what we do

Resources benefit students
By KATIE VALENTINE
The Red & Black
When students have a problem while they’re at
school, calling for help might not always be easy —but
one University organization hopes to "break the
silence.”
Hillel at UGA is sponsoring an event titled "Breaking
the Silence,” which seeks to educate
students about the campus resources
available for dealing with a range of I
mental, emotional, academic and I
health issues. The event will feature
tables and displays about student-ori- * 9

University, including the Milledge
Academic Center and the Hpath

Services.
Meredith Beker, vice president of BEKER
special events at Hillel, said the idea for
this event came from the recent news of suicides at
other universities. She said there has been a suicide at
Kennesaw State and six suicides at Cornell within the
last academic year.
“Hillel wants to be proactive rather than reactive,”
she said. “We want students to know that there are
