Pornography discovered on Tate
computer
Billy Ray Parks has been barred
from the Tfcte Student Center for
180 days following allegations that
he was viewing pornography on a
computer in room 352, according
to a University Police report.
After building managers
received several complaints about
a male matching Parks’ descrip
tion, officers responded to the
scene.
Parks reportedly told police the
images popped up when he turned
on the computer.
Since he was not a student or
employee of the University, Parks
was barred from the building.
On Feb. 17, John Frank Snow
was barred from all University
property for one year after he was
found viewing pornography on a
computer, according to a
University Police report. Snow
denied the allegations when ques
tioned.
Student attempts to elude police
A female student was arrested
around 7 a.m. Sunday morning
after accelerating away from a
motorcycle police officer on South
Milledge Avenue.
Courtney Jo Lehmann, 25, now
faces charges of DUI, fleeing, reck
less driving and speeding after her
escape from the law proved futile.
According to the Athens-Clarke
County Police report, the arresting
officer first noticed Lehmann after
she almost rear-ended another car.
Lehmann reportedly then accel
erated to an estimated 60 mph in a
35 mph zone.
After initiating his emergency
lights, the arresting officer caught
up to Lehmann, but she did not
stop.
Instead, she turned right onto
West Rutherford Street, left onto
Mell Street, then left again onto
Springdale Street heading back
toward South Milledge Avenue.
When she approached a red
light, the officer reportedly got off
his motorcycle.
Lehmann reportedly then
turned right onto South Milledge
Avenue and stopped.
When the officer spoke to
Lehmann, he reportedly smelled
an odor of alcoholic beverage on
her breath.
Lehmann then told the officer
“she had been at a party and had
been sipping on drinks,” according
to the report.
After performing several field
sobriety tests, the officer asked if
Lehmann would be willing to sub
mit a breath sample.
She then refused, saying she
knows many lawyers who told her
to never give a breath sample,
according to the report.
Lehmann was then placed
under arrest and transported to
Clarke County Jail.

Some students refuse
to ‘friend’ Eacebook
By ADINA SOLOMON
Thi Red & Black
Lecture halls seem to be the
perfect breeding place for com
ments and status updates, but
not every student logs onto
Facebook when classes turn
dull.
A minority of students don’t
have Facebook accounts, and
many of the 500 million users
worldwide would ask them with
puzzled expressions why
not?
“Facebook is really not inter
esting to me,” said Christine
Pardue, a freshman from
Cleveland who deleted her
Facebook account shortly alter
arriving to the University. "I
realized I have 300 friends, and
only a handful are important to
me.”
Pardue said she phones these
close Mends anyway, so she
does not even need Facebook in
order to keep in touch with
them.
Brad Johnson, a senior from
Elltyay, also said he calls his true
friends on the phone. Johnson
said he deleted his Facebook in
January as part of a New Year’s
resolution, beginning 2010 “the
right way.”
“It was really taking up a lot
of time,” he said. “I just was
hanging out on Facebook
waiting for things to happen
that weren’t going to happen.”
Brittany Mize, a freshman
from Cleveland, has never had a
Facebook account and does not
plan on creating one.
“I just really don’t like the
idea of it,” Mize said. “I don’t
think people portray themselves
as you would normally see them.
It's an edited version of them
selves."
Emuel Aldridge, anew media
professor at the University, said
Facebook is a “powerful” medi
um for connecting with people

coming to a final resting

store’s main counter
behind the window.
The driver was seen
fielding questions from
police who reported to
the scene as onlookers
gathered to take photos
with camera phones and
stare at the spectacle out
across the street.
“Obviously it has to be
on the driver unless he
proves his brakes failed,"
said Trooper J.T. Shirah,
who was reporting the
accident.

around the world, re-establish
ing contact with old friends,
advertising and running social
campaigns.
He pointed out anyone can
establish a presence on the web
without expertise.
“It’s one of those technolo
gies that’s really enabling for
people,” Aldridge said. “I see
other people get hooked on it
and some people are immune.”
But the ease of navigating
Facebook allows a great num
ber of people to overuse a good
thing, he said.
Johnson likened Facebook to
texting, saying many people rely
on Facebook too much. This
leads to decreased face-to-face
contact, he said.
"Everything is going cyber
these days,” Johnson said.
"Facebook is just one more step
to distancing yourself from hav
ing personal relationships with
people."
Pardue and Mize said
Facebook is a vehicle for voy
eurism.
“It’s kind of an absurd thing
because Facebook presupposes
that everyone is interested in
every detail of your life,” Pardue
said.
Aldridge said it was unavoid
able that some social network,
whether it was Facebook or
another website, would become
the übiquitous default among
users.
He also said Facebook is no
passing fad.
“It’s amazing how quickly it’s
become popular,” Aldridge said.
“It’s borderline institution now.
It’s here to stay.”
Many students will hollowly
threaten to delete their
Facebook account because they
say they could get more work
done without it. but do the peo
ple who aren’t on Facebook find
this true?
Johnson said he gets work
Shirah also said the
driver may not be off the
hook if the brakes failed
due to a maintenance
issue.
The owner of the
building, John Barrett,
estimated structural
damage to the building
somewhere in the range
of SIO,OOO.
Although his failed
breaks caused quite a
scene as Athens resi
dents made their daily
commute home, the driv
er of the vehicle said he
finds himself “incredibly”
lucky that no one was
hurt.

Facebook to distract him, but
Pardue and Mize said they
aren’t any more productive than
students who do use the social
network.
“I find other ways to waste
my time,” Pardue said. “I read
things more. I’ve become more
exploratory and I do other
things, and I epjoy it more than
reading the newsfeed.”
Mize said people always find
alternative activities to the work
they’re supposed to be doing,
but Facebook has just become
one of the most popular options
for this.
Aldridge said Facebook
sometimes feels like a life neces
sity like e-mail or Google
but Pardue said she feels bad
for people who overuse
Facebook.
“Nothing truly interesting or
juicy happens on there anyway,”
she said. “All of the interesting
things happen in real life.”
BAN: Board
is through
with issue
► From Page 1
there were 510 undocu
mented students out of
310,000 total students at
USG schools.
“I don’t know what spurs
that kind of thing,”
Vanchella said. “It was a
response to the concerns
that the Board of Regents
heard from legislators and
the public in general. It was
a response, and the num
bers show that it’s actually
a very small number. But
that doesn’t mean they
can’t improve their admis
sions process and that’s
what their goal is.”
Vanchella said the
Regents received a wide
range of feedback.
“There were students
here at the Board meeting,
and there are people on
both sides of the issue,”
Vanchella said. “Some peo
ple think it’s a very good
step, some people think it
didn’t go far enough and
then other people think It
went too far. So I can’t real
ly speak for all those peo
ple, but we have heard from
both sides."
And what does the
future hold for undocu
mented students in
Georgia? For now, nothing
the Regents will be involved
with.
“1 think the main thing
they were looking at was
the five Institutions that
have had to turn away
qualified legal residents.
They wanted to address
that,” Vanchella said. “I
believe this is the end point
for the Regents unless
some new law Is passed."
