Richt
calls win
a‘good
medicine’
Victory adds
confidence
By NICK PARKER
The Red and Buck
Heading into Georgia’s
sixth game of the season,
the Bulldogs were hurting,
and in desperate need of a
win to cool the pressure
and criticism for at least a
week.
Saturday’s 41-14 blow
out over rival Tennessee
won’t cure Georgia’s four
losses that remain in the
right-hand column, but an
added win to the ‘W’ side
sure was a nice feeling for
the Bulldogs. After all, it
had been almost a month,
and everyone Richt, the
players, the fans was
starting to get anxious.
“It was good medicine
for me personally and our
staff and our players and
I’m sure our fans, and our
families, everybody,” Richt
said. “We worked so hard to
get those type of results,
and not only was it a win.
but it was just a very well
played game. It was played
with a lot of energy and
enthusiasm and plays were
made on both sides of the
ball. It was just a great
team effort and a great
team victory, and you need
to feel that. And we enjoyed
it, but we have to get back
to work.”
Richt acknowledged
that the quick infusion of
confidence that a win can
bring can turn around a
season. He was clearly

Surprised?
Yeah, me too.
Georgia’s win
over Tennessee snapped
a four-game losing streak
and momentarily slowed
the temperature climb

Richt’s chair.
There were no goal

two blown coverages in

win because they had

Most charges
dismissed for
fake ID arrest
By JACOB DEMMITT
The Red & Black
Editor’s Note: This week,
The Red & Black investi
gates fake ID use at the
University. Check back
Tuesday for a look at the
costs of having a fake.
University and
Athens-Clarke County
police tallied at least 85
student arrests for pos
session of a fake ID since
August 2009. Only 15 of
these were upheld in a
court of law.
Athens criminal
defense attorney Matt
Karzen told The Red Sc
Black he has helped his
clients avoid conviction
in more than 90 percent
of the nearly 700 cases he
has handled.
Of last year’s 85 stu
dents charged with pos
session of a fake ID, 11
have pending cases, 15
pled guilty, six had their
charges dismissed, six
had their charges
dropped as part of a plea
agreement and 47 will
have their charges dis
missed upon completion
of the Pretrial Diversion
program.
Pretrial is the most
common way students
avoid conviction.

▲ Parking will soon change for the 308
scooters registered to park on campus.
Change on horizon
for campus scooters
By NATHAN SORENSEN
The Red & Black
Scooter drivers on campus will soon see a change
in the parking system they’ve come to know.
Within the next couple of weeks, Parking Services
will begin replacing scooter corrals with surface lots,
increasing the number of scooter parking lots from
13 to 18, according to documents obtained by The
Red & Black.
Though the change will cut the number of car
parking spaces, the number of scooter and moped
parking spaces will increase from 420 to 579.
“The loss of surface parking for cars will be more
than made up by increased parking satisfaction for
scooter drivers,” the document states.
With only 308 scooters and mopeds registered
and permitted to park on campus, there will be a
surplus of spaces for student scooter drivers.
Scooters and mopeds have been the topic of
much debate over the last few years. Traffic prob
lems such as illegal parking and driving without
helmets has posed problems for University Police,
Parking Services, students and scooter drivers
themselves. In light of these problems, University
departments and organizations such as Parking
Services, Student Government Association,
University Police and other concerned citizens,
formed a scooter and motorcycle policy task force in
Fail 2009.
The task force discussed scooter parking issues
and determined the new policy.
Some of the student drivers look forward to the
new lots featuring individually marked spaces.
“The new spots are all in really good locations,”
said Alex Vagasi, a freshman from Lilbum. "I like

The program offers
first-time offenders a
chance to have their
charges dismissed if they
stay out of trouble for a
certain amount of time,
defendants must typical
ly first agree to pay hun
dreds of dollars in fines,
log community service
hours and be supervised
by a probation officer for
around 12 months.
When a defendant
enrolls in this program, a
judge will likely not hear
the case, but University
Police Chief Jimmy
Williamson said a degree
of guilt is still assumed.
"In pretrial, they’re
basically saying, ‘lf you’ll
accept some responsibil
ity and do these things,
we'll dismiss these charg
es,’” he said.
However, Karzen said
