The name of the game
is changing for Grady
By KATIE VALENTINE
The Red & Buck
Changes are coming for several Grady
College of Journalism and Mass
Communication majors.
At its meeting on Sept. 9, the
University Council approved proposals
to change the names of broadcast news
and telecommunication arts majors, and
to combine three majors in the journal
ism department into one. The proposals
now go on to the Board of Regents, and
if passed, will go into effect by fall semes
ter 2011.
Diane Miller, assistant to the dean for
undergraduate services in Grady, said
the Board of Regents approval should
come during the Board’s next meeting.
Ann Hollifleld, department head of
the telecommunications department,
said the name changes to the majors in
her department were made to
better reflect what students are
learning in those majors.
"These changes are the result
of several years of thinking and
discussions within the depart
ment,” she said. “We want to com
municate through the names of
our majors that students are
graduating fully prepared as 21st
century media professionals.”
If the proposals pass, the
broadcast news major will change
to digital and broadcast journalism, and
the telecommunications major will
change to mass media arts. Hollifleld
said the faculty is already using the new
names for the majors within the depart
ment. She said the changes to the majors'
names were made with the changing
media in mind.
“In the 21st century all electronic jour
nalism is now digital journalism.
Broadcast news graduates are expected
to do online, mobile and TV journalism,”
she said. “We have changed the curricu
lum to prepare students for that, and so
we needed to change the name as well.”
Hollifleld said the decision to change
the name of the telecommunications
major came from negative feedback from
students who thought the name was
confusing. She said the major focuses on
the creative aspects of storytelling, as
opposed to the nonfiction and news
focus of broadcast journalism.
“We had students telling us that, had
they known what it was, they would have
majored in it,” she said.
Under the new name of the major, stu
dents will have the opportunity to have
an emphasis in one of four areas: video
and phone media; script and screenwrit
ing; management, sales and program
ming; or new media. Though the changes
will go into effect by fall 2011, Hollifleld

said students who were accepted into
Grady under the old major names and
who graduate by the time the changes
are put into place will have the choice to
have either the old or the new name
appear on their diplomas.
The journalism department is also
changing the names of its majors. The
magazines, newspapers and publication
management majors are being combined
into one major, journalism, with empha
ses in four areas: magazine journalism,
publication management, visual journal
ism and public affairs journalism.
The photojournalism emphasis will be
renamed to visual journalism. The public
affairs journalism emphasis will replace
the newspapers major.
Kent Middleton, journalism depart
ment head, said the changes in the major
names reflect the changing industry.

“I don’t think it would hurt if the
classes aren’t changing at all I think it
might broaden job horizons,” she said. “I
think it depends on what a student's
ultimate goal is.”
Mark Johnson, a lecturer who teaches
photojournalism classes, said the con
solidation of the three majors into one
portrays a broader description of what
students are learning in Grady.
“We are constantly talking about the
curriculum, but with the massive chang
es in the industry over the past 15 years,
the conversations accelerated,” he said.
“When we were looking at the names, we
realized that they were so associated
with industries that students aren’t
going into.”
Johnson said the change to an empha
sis in visual journalism better reflects
what students are learning in his classes.
Besides photography, students in the
photojournalism emphasis learn audio/
video recording, web design and how to
create audio slideshows.
Johnson said he is very happy about
the msjor name changes.
“Our mission is to serve students, and
this allows us to do it at a better level,"
he said. “The major name is a better rep

when the differences between the
majors were often slight. For
instance, there is a one class dif

Ashlee Culverhouse, a junior

Ally Outreach week offers
support to LGBT community
By PAIGE VARNER
The Red & Buck
Hope.
That’s what junior Ande
Stone said being an ally
brings to the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender
community —a community
that has lost at least six of
its own members in the
past two months because
of suicide.
Stone is the organizer of
this week’s Ally Outreach
campaign.
He created the week of
events because he believes
waiting until gay people
commit suicide is too late
to offer support.
“People don’t realize the
extent of spiritual societal
violence LGBT teens face
every day,” he said.
That violence, he said,
could be bullying or harass
ment based on real or per
ceived gender identity.
Students may have gay
friends, Stone said, but
some students won’t vocal
ize support because they
are afraid of stepping on
CRIME NOTEBOOK
Pouring a drink leads to arrest
A University student was arrested and
charged with underage possession of
alcohol at 3:45 p.m. Saturday after she
stole a Coke from Five Guys on College
Avenue, according to an Athens-Clarke
County Police report.
A police officer was summoned when
Laura Burch, 20, poured herself a drink at
Five Guys when she only paid for a burg
er, according to the report.
When the officer arrived, Burch flipped
through her wallet to find her ID and
revealed another ID with the name Molly
Hunt on it. It was apparent that Burch
had been drinking, the report states.
After she paid for the drink at Five
Guys, she was arrested and a search
revealed she had a flask containing alco
hol. She was then taken to the Clarke
County Sheriff’s Office.
Students arrested on alcohol-related
charges
Two University students were arrested
and charged with alcohol-related offenses
at 11:05 p.m. Friday when an Athens-
Clarke County Police officer noticed pas
sengers in a taxi drinking from a cup,
Greta Spangenberg, 20, was arrested
and charged with underage possession of
alcohol and an open container, and Emily
Roach, 20, was arrested and charged with
underage possession of alcohol and use of
a fake ID. The taxi driver was cited for
allowing alcohol in the taxi.
According to police reports, the taxi
stopped at the comer of Clayton and
Jackson Streets and the passengers hid
the cup when they saw the officer.
The taxi driver handed the officer the
cup, which contained an alcoholic mixed
drink. When the officer asked whose cup

people’s toes.
“That is the last thing
we should be worried about
when this is such a real
thing people are dealing
with," he said.
Allies are people who
develop an understanding
of LGBT issues and sup
port the community.
But Stone wants allies
to add action to their
beliefs.
The most memorable
time an ally supported
Stone was before he had
even come out.
He recalled a time in
high school when a guy he
had known for several years
made fun of him for being
gay.
Stone didn't know how
to respond.
But a girl sitting behind
him did.
“This girl looked at me,
like ‘Why do you let him
treat you like that?”' Stone
said.
“That’s not funny at all,”
the girl told the joker.
And she told Stone,
“Don’t worry about him.”

it was, Spangenberg said it was hers, and
the other four passengers said they did
not drink from it, according to the report.
When the officer spoke to Roach, she
handed him a South Carolina ID with the
name of Margaret Little. After about 15
minutes of questioning, Roach gave the
officer her real name.
She and Spangenberg were arrested
and transported to the Clarke County
Sheriff’s Office.
Student's arrests climb
University student Sara Padgett, 19,
was arrested and charged with underage
possession of alcohol at 1:35 a.m. Friday
according to an Athens-Clarke County
Police report. This is Padgett's third
arrest in the county.
According to the report, an officer saw
Padgett inside Bourbon Street Bar and
recognized her as the same student he
arrested for underage possession about
one month ago.
When the officer asked Padgett for her
ID, she gave him a driver’s license from
Indiana with her name on it and a 1989
birthday, the report states. The officer
told Padgett he had arrested her one
month ago for underage possession.
Padgett apologized for giving the officer a
fake ID and for drinking. She was then
transported to Clarke County Jail.
Padgett was arrested August 28 for
underage possession of alcohol after
being turned away from Sideways Bar.
She was also arrested for underage pos
session last January.
