Like most things in life, Corey
Smith’s love for the University start
ed with a girl.
“I originally went to Gainesville
College and pretty much flunked out
there," Smith said. “But then I met
my wife. She went to West Georgia,
so I followed her out to West
Georgia. I went to school there for a
year, really discovered my love for
academics. But then she got into
Georgia, so I followed her to

Instead of succumbing to
Saturday football fever right away,
the country-influenced solo artist
opted to avoid the crowds.
It wasn’t until the Georgia-
Georgia Tech game of his junior year
that Smith was finally introduced to
Georgia football.
“I always wanted to be different. I
didn’t want to do what everyone else
was doing,” Smith said. “But then I
finally went to my first game, which
was a Georgia-Georgia Tech game.

Smith was overwhelmed.
“I went there and saw the crowd,

songs and heard Munson’s voice on

justTeally emotional-feeling,” Smith
said. “It had a big impact on me

Smith’s musical career represents

Williamson said none of the
images were taken by
Olasser.
“If he had taken the pho

been different. People in the

that sort of thing kind of
assume that if they take the
picture, they’ll go to Jail,” he
said. “(Law officials] found

Attitudes
vary about
underage
admittance
By DANIEL BURNETT
The Red & Black
Editor’s Note: This week, The
Red & Black investigates fake ID
use at the University. Look online
to see the full series.
Caleb Allred has seen it all
before.
The shifty demeanor. The ner
vous movements.
“You can tell when they’re
about to give you a fake one,
they'll get all
fishy and not
make eye
contact." said • ■UBH K
Allred, a
doorman at
Last Call and
New Earth Music Hall until last
month. “Fake IDs are really easy
to spot for the most part.”
The former University student
and Summerville native said it’s a
nightly occurrence for those
underage to try to slip by with a
fake or someone elae’s real
identification.
“At New Earth, I’d say, depend
ing on the show, as many as 30
percent of them were fake," he
said. “Last Call, probably sub
stantially higher since It’s a
younger crowd.”
But it’s not just the underage
drinkers at fault. Allred said it’s
common for some doormen to
knowingly allow underage patrons
to enter; and each doorman has
his own degree of leniency on giv
ing those in their late teens and
