Students, administrators clash about dean
By POLINA MARINOVA
The Red & Black
Students and administrators
don’t seem to be on the same
page.
In the first round of the Dean
of Students search, there were a
total of five students on the

Students
support
ban on
smoking
11 percent of
campus votes
By PAIGE VARNER
The Red & Black
Students passed a refer
endum Friday that could
restrict smoking on campus.
On last week’s Student
Government Association bal
lot, students could vote for
homecoming king and queen,
whether to pass an updated
SGA constitution and wheth
er smoking should be banned
on campus.
Two-thirds of voters said
they were in favor of a smok
ing ban.
Because the ban was
posed as a referendum
gauging support for a possi
ble future bill no smoking
ban is in place yet.
“All that’s been decided so
far is students are largely in
favor of a smoking ban," said
Gregory Locke, the SGA
Franklin College senator who
co-sponsored the proposal.
Though two-thirds of vot
ers favor a ban, just 11 per
cent of the

voted, which

npi , urv I don t think
DtLANtT that’s enough
to move
toward the complete ban,”
said SGA President Josh
Delaney. “I don’t think it’s
that overwhelming.”
But given the majority of
voters’ concern, he said his
next course of action is out
lining a plan for some sort of
restriction on smoking.
A restriction could ban
smoking near the doors of
academic buildings, near res
idence halls and on the sec
ond-floor breezeway beside
the Miller Learning Center.
Smoker William McCarty,
a sophomore from
Lawrenceville, said he knows
he must respect others’ per
sonal space.
But when non-smokers
walk by him while he is smok
ing, they only briefly inhale
the smoke.
Plus, there are other MLC
entrances for people who
don’t want to breathe in the
smoke around the second
floor breezeway, he said.
Smoker Jake Hester, a
sophomore from Snellville,
said he is not opposed to a
partial ban that restricts
smoking around high-traffic
spots such as Tate.

Katie Barlow, former Student

it seemed like student represen

first round.
So why was that not the case
for the second round?

“GATA” was scribbled on
the white boards inside
Georgia’s locker room at
Sanford Stadium.
The acronym, coined by
former Georgia defensive
coordinator Erk Russell,
stands for “get after their
asses,” or the nicer version,
“get after them aggressively.”
That four-letter acronym
has been pushed by defen
sive coordinator Todd
Grantham all season and for
the first time in nearly a year
the Bulldogs shut out an
opponent in a 43-0 win over
Vanderbilt on Saturday.
Head coach Mark Richt
said the defensive players
played “the game the way it
should be played.”
“I think we’ve got (the
players] attention,” Richt
said. “I think we know a little
