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.

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 FUNDS: More money goes to Republican candidates ► From Page 1 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.

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.” 30 Gravy base 32 Subdue 33 Regret 35 Inquires 37 Snug 38 “Woe is met* -40 Seashore 41 _ In; wear •ing 43 Unlocked 44 Spice rack 21 Claim against property 24 Raw miner als 25 Bag 26 Dirt 27 Uses a peel er 28 Religious group 29 Draw new zoning lines NEWS burglaries are often pre meditated.

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."
