CRIME NOTEBOOK
University employee indicated in theft
of money
A warrant for a former University
employee who allegedly stole more than
$200,000 in University hinds was
released on Wednesday, according to
University Police.
Rebecca Adams Hill, former office
manager of business operations at the
Carl Vinson Institute of Government,
has been charged with racketeering. Hill
allegedly embezzled funds from the Carl
Vinson Institute of Government, accord
ing to Jimmy Williamson, University
chief of police.
Williamson said the police investigat
ed Hill after officials discovered account
ing irregularities in the fall of 2009.
“It was determined that over a period
of four years she had been taking money
from the Carl Vinson Institute to a sum
of $219,000," Williamson said. “Her posi
tion was office manager, and so over the
years she used a means to falsify docu
ments to get the funds.”
A University police report was filed
about the accounting regularities on
Nov. 30, 2009.
According to the Magistrate Court of
Athens-Clarke County, a search warrant
was also released for Hill in December of
2009, and was returned on Jan. 12.

“By the time we got
the information, we knew
there wasn’t anything for
students to do because
there was no threat,” said
University Public Affairs
representative Chuck
Toney.
“We’ve gotta get good
information before we’re
going to tell people every
thing.”

Police handled the situa

Williamson said regard

▲ Tailgating on North Campus will be restricted throughout the season.
After the first game weekend, a total of 30 tons of trash were collected.
TAILGATE: Students want voice

in some of the policies,” Delaney said. “I
think that the beauty of North Campus is
something important and something we
want to preserve. But I stand by my
intense discontent that students were not
included whatsoever in this decision-mak
ing. It’s really disappointing for us when
you make decisions that affect the cam
pus and you don’t talk to the people that
live on the campus.”
When asked if Adams has heard from
any students other than SGA on the tail
gating restrictions, he said he didn’t think
so.
"All we did was adjust the rules on
North Campus," he said. “The general
feedback I’ve had is pretty positive.”
Wesley Joiner, a senior from St. Simons,
said he thought there was a problem with
trash, but banning essential tailgating
items is not the solution.
“I think it’s ridiculous that people can’t
take some pride in making sure that North
Campus is clean,” Joiner said.
“Especially since most of those people
are alumni and students, they should
know to respect that area, but I think
what President Adams did was too
harsh.”
Joiner also said he thinks a lot of alum
ni who financially support the University
tend to tailgate on North Campus, and
“that needs to be taken into consideration
when you make restrictions like that.”
“I think they need to go back to the
drawing board,” Joiner said. “Honestly, I
think the rationale for putting restrictions
on the tailgating on North Campus is
because of the amount of garbage and
expense in cleaning that up. But part of
throwing an event like a Georgia football
game is having to clean up after tail
gaters.”
Danny Brown, a University alumnus,
said North Campus was bare on game
day, but he didn’t think the first game was
a good indicator of the rules’ effects.
“It was just kind of difficult to gauge
things with that early of a kickoff," Brown
said. “But I feel like you'll have some peo
ple tailgating less because that was kind
of their thing. The people might just give

up altogether not to say that we’re
going to —but I can see where some other
people might make that decision and just
end up at bars.”
Brown is also the creator of a Facebook
group with more 'than 1,400 members
called “Michael Adams Tailgate
Extravaganza (Myers Quad).” The group
encourages tailgaters to bring all of the
banned items such as tents, kegs and
grills to the Myers Quad.
When asked if such measures could
pose problems for students who live in
residential areas, Dexter Adams, director
of grounds for the Physical Plant, said he
isn’t sure what tailgaters will decide to do.
“I don’t know where they’ll move to,
but they will certainly have to move,” he
said. “I hope they can find another lovely
spot to tailgate. Certainly, it was not
intended to diminish anyone’s experience
at the game. But that one space on North
Campus belongs to all of us."
Last game weekend, American Stadium
Services collected 19.8 tons of trash and
the University Physical Plant reported
10.2 tons of trash coming to a total of 30
tons of trash on campus.
Arthur Johnson, associate athletic
director for internal operations, said there
was never more than 50 tons of trash dur
ing a game weekend last year.
Though Dexter Adams also said last
weekend’s game was not a good indicator
of the effectiveness of the tailgating regu
lations, he believes the new restrictions
are already having positive effects.
“There was a vast improvement,” he
said. “You can’t compare it to the big
night games last year, but it was an enor
mous improvement."
Delaney said students and alumni he
talked to seem unified about the issue, so
even though there are no plans for loosen
ing the tailgating restrictions in the near
future, he will continue fighting for North
Campus on behalf of the student body.
“We are not planning on giving this up,”
Delaney said. “We honestly believe there
is room for headway. We have faith that if
we just construct a solid argument and
make that argument well, then the deci
sion-makers will meet us halfway on some
sort of compromise.”
