Hiring prospects look brighter for graduates
By JULIA CARPENTER
The Red & Buck
The National Association of
College and Employers has some
good news for University seniors.
More employers plan to
increase their hiring rates in 2011,
according to a survey recently
released by the association.
“Based on that survey, one
would assume that we would

Every fall. Bulldog fans
make their pilgrimage to
Athens for the near-reli
gious event held at Sanford
Stadium. The streets of
downtown are filled with
football patrons visiting
the shops, restaurants and
bars that help make
Athens’ downtown great.
Intermingled with the
hum of cheering crowds is
the melody of street per
formers competing for tips.
One of these performers is
bucket drummer Chris
Harris, also known as “The
Bucketman.” But this foot
ball season, thanks to a
noise ordinance violation,
he may be silent.
Harris, a resident of
Tampa Bay, Fla., has trav
eled to Athens every fall for
the last 10 years in order to
perform for the crowds
downtown. His parents live
in Covington, and he stays
there during the fall in
order to save money.
Street performing is how
he makes a living to help
support his wife and baby,
and he travels all over the
Southeast to perform at
different festivals and
events.
On Sept. 4, the opening
game against Louisiana-
Lafayette, Harris was tick
eted by Athens-Clarke
County police for a noise
violation. This Is the first
ticket Harris has received
in Athens.
Harris said he was play
ing on the comer of College
Avenue and Clayton Street
downtown when a couple
of police officers walked up
to him and informed him
he was violating a noise
ordinance. They gave him a
ticket, and told him he
would have to leave.
Harris said the noise
ordinance is unfair to him
and is in violation of his
First Amendment rights.
“All street performers
have protection in freedom
of speech,” Harris said.
“There are court cases that
have set precedence pro
tecting street performers.”
Harris' claim was further
confirmed by University
law professor Randy Beck.
“The First Amendment
protects freedom of speech
which includes street musi
cians,” he said.
“Governments can set limi
tations on the time, place
and noise level of perform
ing music as long as they

Of the employers who partici

2011 than they did from the Class

Georgia coaches to play more players along defensive line
By RACHEL G. BOWERS
The Red & Black
It was night and day. It was home and
away. It was a win and a loss.
Now, with two games in the books and a
1-1 record, some of the Bulldogs’ flaws are
evident after Saturday’s loss to South
Carolina —a stark contrast with the team’s
showing in its season opener.
The defensive line couldn’t get penetra

making clean tackles. The offense couldn't

figures are merely projections.
“There’s no way right now to
