Candidate signs not welcome on campus
Posts increase
around election
By KATHRYN INGALL
The Red & Buck
If you’ve seen a few campaign signs
dotting the campus landscape, they're
not supposed to be there.
Campaign signs fall under a gener
al ban against signs on campus.
Doug Ross, director of auxiliary
and administrative services, is in
charge of enforcing the ban on these
advertisements.
“If we see them, we pick them up.”
Ross said. “And if we see someone
putting them out, we warn them not
to put them out.”
Ross said he notices an increase in
campaign signs around election time,

but there are not as many for a mid
term election as a presidential elec
tion.
In addition to signs, the policy also
prohibits posting on anything "that is
not an approved bulletin board,
including bus shelters, trash cans,
walls, railings, bathroom stalls, bench
es, light posts, staircases, windows,
doors, newspaper boxes, trees, etc.”
Only registered student organiza
tions and departments within the
University may advertise on campus.
In addition to the ban on signs,
candidates also may not use a regis
tered logo of the University in cam
paign materials without permission.
“The way we handle yard signs is
we give them to the party and they
distribute them throughout the coun
ties,” said Lauren Culbertson, a
University alumna who works for
Johnny Isakson’s Senate campaign.

Savanna Reese, communications
director for the University College
Republicans, said the student organi
zation doesn't focus on spreading
signs on campus.
“We give out stickers and push
cards on campus, and signs in the
general Athens-Clarke County area,”
Reese said.
Campaign signs are acceptable if
they are on private property with the
consent of the owner. They are also
allowed on roadsides as long as they
do not obstruct traffic.
Students who can’t resist giving
their public support to a candidate
may be interested in an loophole in
the University's policy.
“The only way you could get away
with [hanging up signs],” said Tom
Jackson, vice president of public
affairs, “would be to hang it up inside
your dorm window.”

Politicians value
ties to University
By UMARAH ALI
The Red & Black
Given the rich history
and influence of the
University in Athens, it is
no surprise that each
mayoral candidate has a
unique connection to the
campus that shaped
them and their plans for
the future.
The five candidates
each had distinct experi
ences during their times
as students at the
University.
“Being at the
University was a very
positive experience," said
candidate Gwen
O’Looney, who
graduated from
the University
with a bachelor’s
degree in sociolo
gy.
The diverse
student popula
tion, along with
the education and
advantages pro
vided by the
O'LOONEY
school, proved immense
ly useful in her career,
she said.
“Athens is extremely
unique,” said candidate
Spencer Frye, who moved
to Athens in 1986 to
attend the University.
With the University in
such a city, he said stu
dents are fortunate to
live in an environment
that prepares them to be
well-rounded citizens.
The University itself
continues to provide
opportunities and
resources for students to
become more involved in
the school as well as the
greater Athens commu
nity. Still, Frye said a
stronger bond between
the University and
Athens is needed.
The city can be bro
ken down into three dis
tinct groups of people,
said student candidate
Glen Stegall: the student
population, the working
core and the wealthier
individuals. To reach the
city’s potential, he said,
all three need to be
understood and inter
connected.
“The University is a
double-edged sword,"
said candidate Nancy
Denson, who also attend
ed the University. “I
adds culture and diversi
ty to the community, bu
sometimes the older gen
eration feels like they ge
stuck with all the prob
lems."
Candidate Charlii
Maddox emphasized tha
establishing a stronf
connection with the stu
dents, faculty and staff ij
essential to the succea
of both the Universit;
and its outlying commu
nity. t
“UGA can assis
Athens in things that ar<
beneficial to both groups
and Athens car
be a partner ir
helping the
University,” h<
said.
Though man;
students try t<
stay active ii
Athens durinf
their time at thi
University, i
seems the majori
ty of those wh<
graduate seek bigger anc
better opport unities else
where.
"Students say they’c
like to stay in Athens i
they could find jobs, bu
Athens has a reputatioi
of being less business
friendly," Denson said.
Unlike the situatioi
several years ago, only i
few established corpora
tions have jobs readil;
available. Denson sai*
she believes this mean!
the younger generatioi
will use their new idea!
to start more businesses
“We're losing qualifiet
workers," Stegall said
“We need to focus on pro
viding tools and resourc
es for entrepreneurs.”
More high-tech jobi
for skilled graduates
would help build up th<
middle class and encour
age young and educate*
individuals to stay ii
Athens.
Frye believes by utiliz
ing and creating resourc
es in both the Universit;
and the outlying commu
nity, the city as a whol
can reach its potentia
for success.
“It’s important t<
move Athens forward t<
the future.” he said.
DEAN: Some
concerned

diversity programminf
within a large, complej
university, according t<
documents obtained by
The Red & Black.
There are 1,200 under
graduates at Presbyteriai
College.
“He just seems to no'
have a very good idea o
how to deal with a campus
of our size, and there's a lot
more diversity here than at
Presbyterian College,” May
said. “I just don’t under
stand why they woulc
choose him out of all of th<
other candidates.”
Shay Davis Little of th<
University and Mary Betl
Mercatoris of the University
of Texas at Austin were the
two finalists of the seconc
round.
“I just felt like [Little
has been here for a while
and she knows about the
University,” May said.
LOBT students at the
University have been push
ing to add “gender identity
and expression” to the
University’s non-discrimi
nation policy, but May sale
she’s not sure if McDonalc
would be able to help.
“I don’t know if he’d be
able to put his own views
aside for the good of the
students, which he might
be able to ... so I hope he
does,” May said. “But just
from his background anc
when I saw him before, ]
don’t feel necessarily hope
ful that he would be on
board with It."
But for May, McDonald
isn’t what she hoped the
new dean would be— dif
ferent.
“It makes me kind of
uncomfortable,” she said.
“I think we were all hoping
for someone who would
better relate to students
and who would maybe be
more understanding of
diversity. There’s Just
something weird about this
whole thing.”
