NO. 1 PARTY SCHOOL Greek life image influenced ranking By POLINA MARINOVA The Red & Black The Greek community at the University is one of the most prevalent social systems on campus, and it played a role in determining the University’s No. 1 party school status. “The popularity of the Greek system” was a factor in determining the rankings, according to The Princeton Review “The Greek community is certainly strong here,” said Wes Fugate, advisor to the Interfratemity Council. “Greeks academically outperform non-Greek students i organizations hosted approximately 60 social events involving alcohol. “I expect that number to be lower this semester due to the economic downturn,” FUgate said. “As recruit ment numbers go up and down, and as their members feel the pinch of the economy, they may choose to have Offense propels soccer to Invitational wins By TYLER ELDER The Red & Black Twenty minutes into Georgia’s second game in the Nike Invitational, junior forward Ashley Miller scored the first of five goals as the Bulldogs (£-1) women's soccer team went on to rout Kansas by a final score of 5-0. “You don’t look at a Kansas on your schedule and think you’re going to win 5-0. You look at a Kansas and you think you've got to bring your best game,” head coach Steve Holeman said. “We would have been happy with a 1-0 win, but to come out here and get five goals is really a testa ment to the depth of this team.” Just minutes after scoring, Miller, who was suffering from Partly cloudy.

If they choose to do a non-alco holic event, FUgate said they are encouraged to notify the office about it, but it’s not a requirement. Last semester, Greek WOMEN’S SOCCER Georgia 5, Kansas 0 tonsillitis, was subbed out of the game in favor of sophomore mid fielder Susannah Dennis. Dennis’ impact on the game came Just as quickly as Miller’s, as she wasted no time in putting in what would be the game’s most exciting goal in the 35th minute —a screaming shot that Dennis sent in with one touch as it came down inside of the box after being headed upwards by a Kansas defender. For Dennis, she was simply following the game plan. “As an attacking midfielder, you’re supposed to follow up inside the box. I saw the oppor tunity and just went for the ball,” ON THE WEB Index Monday, August 30, 2010 fewer socials than they would otherwise.” Fugate said he wants people to be aware that the University’s Greek community is in the top 5 percent for academics in the country. “When people think we’re completely socially-fo cused, I have to challenge that and say that our Greek students are performing better academically than non- Greek students," Fugate said. Tori Alterman, sophomore and member of Pi Beta Phi. said she thinks Greek life is a big part of campus, but it doesn’t mean students in fraternities or sororities party more. “I knew people last year who partied way more than anyone in my sorority, and they were not Greek," Alterman said. Alterman said Greeks run the main organizations See PARTY, Page 3 Dennis said. “It felt really good." Dennis was but one of 22 play ers who followed the game plan in what would amount to, accord ing to Holeman, a complete game. “We wanted to put them under some pressure. We wanted to play a system that would suf focate their defense and not allow them to play with a lot of time and space,” Holeman said. “We’re doing a better job since last week of using our players out wide to create good opportunities. Our runs in the box are a lot more organized, and we have players stepping in aggressively to win those balls.” It was Dennis' aggressiveness in the box during the first half that led to her being named a See WIN, Page 6 Head online to see a photo gallery of the dance fever at Project Safe’s Groovy Nights.

According to police reports, after hitting a parked car in the East Village parking deck, Ealey refused to wait for University Police when confronted by a University Parking Services employee and was therefore charged with hit and run and driving with a sus pended license —a fact Ealey was well aware of, according to Richt. “I’m not happy with it. It was foolish. He knew better. He knew better,” head coach Mark Richt said. “He knew he had a suspend ed license and said he wouldn't drive. But he decided one little short distance won’t hurt. And it did. He’s paying a severe price for that.” That severe price will come in the form of a "minimum one-game suspension” handed down by Richt, as Ealey joins wide receiver Tavarres See ARREST, Page 6 E-mail revokes Florida tickets, no explanation Students want answers By KATIE VALENTINE The Red & Black Some students who thought they would be in line today to pick up a Florida ticket aren't going to have to make the trip after all. A number of students who had applied for a Georgia/Florida ticket received an e-mail Friday saying they had been awarded one, only to receive another e-mail a few hours later saying they had not. The second e-mail was sent anywhere between one and eight hours after the first, students said. The second e-mail advised them to “please dis regard the previous e-mail you received concern ing Florida.” It then informed these students they had not been awarded a Florida ticket, and any charges for the ticket made to their account would be credited. “It’s a pretty big mistake,” said Elizabeth Harrison, a junior from Vidalia. “You would think that, being a university, they would have their things in order so they wouldn’t make that big of a mistake.” According to Georgiadogs.com, last year See TICKETS, Page 3 FEELING FAT?
