Nap leads to DUI arrest
You’ll be amazed
where people are willing
to sleep after a night of
heavy drinking and party
ing hardwood floors,
pool tables, bathtubs and
now driver’s seats.
University student
James Bradford Kelly, 23,
was arrested and charged
with DUI after he was
found asleep behind the
wheel at the intersection
of Baldwin Street and
South Lumpkin Street.
According to the
University Police report,
witnesses said Kelly had
been stopped at the
intersection for about 20
minutes before police
arrived.
The witnesses also
told police they had
attempted to wake him
up, but were unsuccess
ful.
The arresting officer
noted the vehicle was in
drive and Kelly had his
foot on the brake.
Police then began
“beating” on the driver's
side window, but Kelly
still remained unrespon
sive.
Officers even tried
"shaking the entire vehi
cle," but were unable to
wake him, according to
the report.
Police then used a
Slim Jim to unlock the
door.
When Kelly was finally
woken up, he “was very
confused and did not
know where he was,”
according to the report.
After several field
sobriety tests. Kelly was
placed under arrest for
DUI.
He then submitted a
breath sample which reg
istered a BAC of .165.
Payne Hall room
burglarized
A female student
reported jewelry valued
at at least $2,921 stolen
from Payne Hall some
time last month, accord
ing to the University
Police daily crime log.
The items were report
ed missing from the stu
dent's neighboring room
which she was using to
store a wooden jewelry
box, according to
University Police Lt. Eric
Dellinger.
The box included gold
jewelry as well as dia
monds and pearls.
“There were no signs
of forced entry,” Dellinger
said. “They are unsure of
when the door was locked
and unlocked."

actions
can stop
burglary
By MARY WALKER
The Red & Buck
Doors locked? Check.
Windows locked? Check.
One light left on? Check.
Few students go
through this checklist
when leaving their apart
ments. And it could be a
mistake.
From 1995 to 2008,
Athens averaged more
than 1,000 burglary cases
every year, according to
the survey on crime in
Athens-Clarke County
conducted by the Athens-
Clarke County Police
Department. And many of
these occur at apartment
complexes housing stu
dents.
Some apartment com
plexes in Athens take pre
ventative measures to
ensure the safety of their
residents. Whistlebury,
Towne Club and The
Exchange all have police
patrol the property regu
larly. The Exchange takes
extra measures to protect
its residents.
“We are a gated com
munity," said Katie Coon,
leasing consultant at The
Exchange. “We also have
on-site state police. When

donor, so the data does not include
those donations.
The 34 donors gave to a variety
of political causes, including
Democratic and Republican candi
dates, Democratic and Republican
organizations and nonpartisan
groups.
In total. University employees
gave more money to Republican
candidates and organizations, but
more donors gave to Democratic
candidates or causes.
“Those giving to Democrats are
giving smaller amounts, so those
may have something to do with the
salaries of the givers,” Bullock said.
"Those giving to Democrats may be
[from] arts and sciences, social
work, education, maybe journalism,
while those giving to Republicans
may be [from] business or College
of [Agriculture]."
Clarke County usually votes
Democratic, Bullock said, and the
University contributes to that.
“Clarke County is a Democratic
island in a vast sea of Republicans,”
he said.
John Brewer, a professor of bio
chemistry and molecular biology,
made several donations to
Republican causes, mostly to the
Republican National Committee.

any door or window is
opened in an apartment
there is an alert, and next
to each bed is a button
residents can press that
makes an alerting sound.”
Despite apartment
complexes’ best efforts to
prevent crime in their
communities, robbery and
theft remain.
One mistake students
often make is opening
their doors to strangers.
“Never let anyone into
your apartment or house
that you do not know,”
said University Police
Chief Jimmy Williamson.
“Often they come to sur
vey the contents of the
house before."
Williamson suggested
“I figure it’s best to donate to
the committee, because t figure
they know better than I do which
candidate would have the best
chance," he said.
Like Bullock, Brewer said that
money is essential for candidates to
introduce themselves to voters.
“They have to purchase media
exposure, put their names before
the public, make people aware," he
said. "That all costs money.”
Dawn D. Bennett-Alexander, an
associate professor of employment
law and legal studies, worked in the
White House under President Ford
and worked on Capitol Hill for a
congressman from Michigan. In this
election cycle, she donated to the
Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee.
“I understand that it takes
money to run campaigns, and with
everybody giving a little ... it really
adds up,” she said.
She said her time in Washington,
D.C. taught her the importance of
party affiliations in politics.
Campaign strategies are causing
polarization and putting political
parties at odds, she said.
“I’m just so afraid the direction
the country’s going in," she said. “I
just feel like I need to know what I
can to help it. I don’t want someone
to scare me into voting.”

burglaries are often pre

Shamiracle Johnson, a
recent graduate from the
School of Law, experi
enced this when her house
on Barnett Shoals Road

spring.
Johnson advises resi
dents to change up their

“The person got in sync

said.

more tips on keeping your

locking the doors.

BREAKING THE
SILENCE
Wlwt: A support services
awareness fair
Where: Tate Plaza stage
When: Today, noon-3 p.m.
Mr brings
resources
to students
By PAIGE VARNER
The Red & Black
Students don’t need to
struggle silently.
That’s the message of
today’s “Breaking the
Silence” fair that highlights
campus support services.
“We think there are
problems people don’t real
ly talk about,” said
Meredith Beker, director of
special events for Hillel at
the University. And many
students don’t know the
University offers profes
sional support funded by
student fees when stu
dents don’t want to confide
in their peers.
Alan Campbell, senior
associate dean for student
support, said students
sometimes attach a stigma
to their problems, barring
them from seeking help.
“But people across the
campus community strug
gle with things that are
common and part of nor
mal development,” he said.
His office, Student
Support Services, assists
students facing personal
hardships such as a ter
minally ill parent, depres
sion or being the victim of
a crime that may war
rant temporary withdrawal
from the University.
Jennifer Miracle, direc
tor of the Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender
Resource Center, said some
students regularly visit her
office, but some never will.
Some just aren’t ready
to come out, she said. And
others had a positive com
ing-out experience before
enrolling at the University
and feel they don’t need
additional support.
Miracle stressed that
the resource center is for
all students. Straight stu
dents can become allies,
and not all gay students
who visit are struggling
with their homosexuality.
For those who are,
Miracle said she imagines
being gay in college is easi
er than in high school.
“You come to college,
and you’re a tiny fish in a
huge sea,” she said. “Find
your identity, and find your
people. It gets better, and
you’re not alone.”
Four other campus sup
port offices will be repre
sented at the fair.
Counseling and
Psychiatric Services offers
individual, group and cou
ples counseling, along with
crisis intervention.
Students can arrange a
confidential consultation
with the Office for Violence
Prevention about relation
ship and sexual violence.
Professional support is
also available for academic
problems. The Division of
Academic Enhancement
schedules counseling for
academic anxiety and free
tutoring in more than 20
subjects.
“It’s right before mid
terms,” Beker said. “It’s
not too late to get help to
improve grades.”
And the Disability
Resource Center caters to
students with attention
deficit disorder, mobility
impairment and obsessive
compulsive disorder,
among other setbacks.
Beker said Hillel, a
Jewish student center,
organized the fair after at
least six students nation
wide committed suicide
this year.
“We wanted to be proac
tive and not reactive,” she
said. “We feel like we can
make a difference on cam
pus."
