Student hit
by vehicle,
no injuries
By KELSEY BYRD
The Red & Black
With anew school year
comes confusion, traffic and
the occasional accident.
Early Tuesday morning, a
pedestrian University stu
dent was struck by an
oncoming vehicle as he tried
to cross at the comer of
Baldwin and Jackson
streets.
He was later issued a cita
tion for failure to yield to a
vehicle that had the right of
way.
University Police Chief
Jimmy Williamson said a
third-party witness saw the
incident and notified the
police.
The event took place at
9:33 am.
Williamson said the wit
ness said the student did not
look before stepping out into
the road right in front of the
vehicle.
The student suffered min
imal injuries that were treat
ed on the scene and was
issued a citation for “failure
to yield the right of way”
before being released,
Williamson said.
“We always see an increase
of accidents in the beginning
of the semester,” he said.
“People need to be watchful
and mindful that there are
more people on campus
now.”
Williamson said that the
names of the students
involved, including those of
the witnesses, could not be
released.

Study shows oil spill worse than thought
By DALLAS DUNCAN
The Red & Buck
Four months after the
Deepwater Horizon oil rig explod
ed in the Gulf of Mexico, data
and numbers about oil, oxygen
and methane have begun spilling
in, but the question remains
how much oil is still in the Gulf?
Between 70 and 79 percent,
according to members of the
University’s Sea Grant program.
“No one’s standing up here
saying this is a doom and gloom
scenario, but no one’s saying all
the oil’s gone, either,” said
Samantha Joye, University
marine science professor, in a
news conference Tuesday.
Joye showed two oil budgets,

One budget, put together by

either dissolved or evaporated,

As archaeologists and histo

“We can’t make a good

Scott Messer, a project manager
for Campus Architects. “It will
be a mystery for awhile, but
maybe in the future we ll be able
