releases.
While students are whining
about term papers and main
taining HOPE. I just suck it up.
Why? Because I know about a
beautiful little beer that tastes
just like pumpkin pie the
way mother used to make it.
This fantastic brew holds
the moniker “Pumking,” -and
trust me, it deserves every
ounce of the royal title.
The beer has a nice golden
dark-orange body and a creamy
off white head.
The aroma is enough t o
make you fall to your knees
with joy, bearing amazingly
sweet scents of vanilla, nutmeg,
cinnamon and— of course
pumpkin pie.
Coming to Athens by way of

In fact, after I had my first
taste, I decided it might be
time to add Southern Tier to
my Christmas card list— it’s
just that good.
I first encountered this
amazing beverage on draft at
Trappeze Pub, located off
Washington Street, though it is
also available at the Five
Points Bottle Shop.
As I sat there, glass in hand,
I remember thinking, “If this
tastes as good as it smells. I’m
going to cut off my left arm and
mail it to a random celebrity.”
Well, congratulate Bob
Saget on his brand new left
arm, because the first sip of
Pumking almost floored me.
Every aroma the beer gave
off echoed in its flavor.
Not to go overboard, but
you can almost taste the crust,
and just like pumpkin pie, I
had to have seconds, thirds,
fourths, fifths...
The title of “king" wouldn’t
be given to a weak beer
“Pumking” boasts an impres

with peasant beers pour
yourself a pint of royalty.

Doctoral
degrees
up for
women
By JULIA CARPENTER
The Red & Black
It’s a landmark year in
academia for women’s
rights, one that will make
feminists kick up their
heels and rejoice.
More women received
doctoral degrees than did
their male counterparts In
2009, according to a report
from the Washington Post.
At the University, doc
toral students say though
gender is evenly split, the
number of female doctoral
students is increasing.
“In my department, yve
tend to be pretty even in
terms of male and female
Ph.D.s in Ph.D. students as
well as at the faculty level,
which I think is a great
thing," said Ann Backof, a
doctoral student in the J.M.
Tull School of Accounting
from Amherst. Va.
Backof said her depart
ment might be more evenly
divided between males and
females because business,
specifically accounting, has
historically been a male
dominated discipline.
“I might have a little bit
of a skewed view because
I’m in the accounting
department, so within the
business school itself it
seems like there’s a pretty
good mix,” she said. “I
would definitely say there’s
at least as many women. I
haven’t seen them outnum
ber the men tremendously
in terms of Ph.D. stu
dents.”
Judy Milton, assistant
dean of the University
graduate school, said the
graduate school doesn’t
have firm numbers on the
gender breakdown of doc
toral students specifically,
but the number of women
in the graduate school—
including those pursuing
Ph.D.s has increased.
“In recent years, more
women than men have
enrolled at UGA in the
graduate programs,” she
said.
George Majetich, the
graduate coordinator Tor
the chemistry department,
said more women with bet
ter quaUfications are apply
ing to the doctoral pro
gram.
“Just the number of
young ladies who keep
applying for graduate
school is greater than the
number of guys,” he said.
“Admission to graduate
school tends to be on
scores and records, and
you tend to take the appli
cants with the best scores
and records, and the young
ladies are coming through.
They're leading the pack."
Ben Ehlers, the gradu
ate coordinator for the his
tory department, said he
suspects the increased
number of female faculty
members may influence
the increase.
“The number of women
doesn’t exceed the number
of men, but the number of
women has been growing,”
he said. “I think that we
have had more female
appUcants, and so the pool
has included more female
applicants. And we have
Increased the number of
female faculty. As recently
as a generation ago, there
were only a handful of
female historians on the
faculty of history, and that
number has increased dra
matically as well.”
Ehlers said five women
and four men began pursu
ing Ph.D.s last fall.
Backof said the growing
number of female faculty
members definitely encour
aged her doctoral studies.
“I think especially as a
young woman thinking
about it because it’s a
commitment to come back
to grad school— you're
looking at a five-year com
mitment to do your Ph.D.,
so when you see other
women who have done it as
well. I think that’s definite
ly encouraging,” she said.
“It gives you that little bit.
of courage to take the leap
to come back.”
Emily Griffith, a doctor
al student In accounting,
said there are five females
in her program of nine.
“I didn’t grow up with
the Idea that I couldn’t do
whatever I wanted to do
and go as far as I wanted to
go,” she said. “1 think a lot
of young girls are growing
up in a time when more
women are going to school
Mid getting degrees and
that sets an example.”
