SGA is also a member of the council, but Delaney said no representative from SGA would fill the student life seat. Because the member organizations change year ly, Delaney said two more Furlough days may recur in 2012 By ADINA SOLOMON The Red & Buck Dreaded furlough days are gone, but perhaps not for long. FUrlough days where state employ ees, including those from the University System of Georgia, take obligatory days off without pay were mandated by the Board of Regents in semesters past. FUrlough days were a last-ditch effort to help the state get out of massive debt, said John Millsaps, spokesman for the Board of Regents. “The budget hole was so big that they ran out of other options at that point,” he said. Millsaps said the Governor’s Office of Hanning and Budget told the Board of Regents to not mandate any furlough days for fiscal year 2011, which began July 1, 2010 and ends June 30, 2011. But the Board of Regents thinks fiscal year 2012 running from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 could be a different story. “Fiscal year 2011 won’t be as difficult as fiscal year 2010, but they’re looking at the 2012 fiscal year as maybe the hardest yet,” Millsaps said. He said one reason for this is because stimulus money previously received will expire by fiscal year 2012. Also, a special student fee of S2OO charged each semester will end in fiscal year 2012. But Millsaps said the fixture Is hazy for furlough days. “I couldn’t predict it.

Axelrod was approached after officers noticed workers from a bar on East Clayton Street asking for assistance. Axelrod was told several times to leave the bar, then grabbed hold of the railing to prevent being forced to leave, according to the report. Axelrod reportedly ran toward Lay-Z Shopper, but was unable to punch in the entry code to residences above downtown before officers caught up. While sitting on the curb, he began speaking in a different language, and banged his head against the window while In the police car Axelrod was charged [CORN MAZE! rt~££2SSSSS\ Washington Farms 706.769.0627 , S|#l free hayrides, vortex tunnel, , f lumping pillow, and campfires with purchase of admission • JP Group Niqhl; Tuesday Wednesday Family Friendly • Alcohol Free WRfw.WashinqtonFarms.net MB jf 706-542-3243 or : BLji>. ./Sr dt sJwofOgwfgawnWugifou B 9 J 1 fr\ ITk I'mvrrutyof (krorttu P-jf jri / MV o— q/tfyptTHiTtif 1I [/ tndptndnt WMI dl iunt • Itamlng I YOUR SCHEDULE 1117 South Lumpkin Strwt • Mhan*.

In the second option, 18 representatives would be chosen from each category of groups In the Center for Btudent Organizations. “The approach we have to take Is for the seats to represent common mis sions, ideas and visions within that category,” Delaney said. The academic category has the highest number of member organizations at 104. Most categories, such as arts, religious, profes sional and service, have at least 26 member organiza tions. Locke, the senator who proposed the new seats, said the one senator from the 25 or so organizations sage is to try to avoid those this year;” Millsaps said. Tom Jffckson, vice president for public affairs, said the University is doing “slight ly” better financially this year than last year. “We had a substantial tuition increase that helped with the budget,” Jackson said. Tim Burgess, senior vice president for finance and administration, also said the University is in a better financial position this year partly due to the SSOO tuition increase for both in-state and out-of-state students. “We’ve been able to hold the lines on expenditures. We have seriously curtailed hiring to the point that there are a lot of vacant positions,” Burgess said. He said because the Board of Regents didn’t require furloughs this year, the University has tried to balance the budget without them. John Soloski, a journalism professor, said though it puts strain on his finances, he understands the University was forced to take the furlough days. “I think they had no choice,” Soloski said. “The UGA budget may be OK, but the state budget may be in trouble.” Millsaps said fiirlough days are not the ideal tactic for increasing revenue because the state has long-term budget problems It needs to fix. “A fiirlough is a short-term solution,” he said. “The structural problem still remains." with underage possession of alcohol, public intoxica tion and obstruction of law enforcement officials, according to the report. Student arrested while unconscious University student Conner Oglesby, 18, was arrested after being found unconscious Friday at about 2:30 a.m., according to a University Police report. He was arrested in the driveway of the Government Relations Building and charged with underage possession of alcohol and possession of a fake ID.

If new senators are cho sen this way, one College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences senator, Gena Perry, said she’s not sure South Campus would be fairly represented. In the second option, Ag Hill Council would vie against 10 organizations for a Senate position. Though the category It would be competing In has one of the fewest numbers of member organizations. Perry who is also the Ag Hill Council’s president said Ag Hill Council plays a big role in South Campus affairs. “I would hope that, being such a big part of South Campus, we would have a good chance,” she said. ONLINE Police Documents Jonathan Allen Cash, 19, was also found in pos session of a fake ID, according to the report. .
