2 TUesdav, October a6, aoxo I The Red a Black ONLINE Police Documents CRIME NOTEBOOK 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.

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 CRASH: Damage could cost close to SIO,OOO ► From Page 1 coming to a final resting place only feet from the 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. The Daily Puzzle i 2 3 7~Tp 6 7 8 9 ■■To - 7i 12 13 .

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. 10/26/10 51 Australia's _ EdnaEyerage 52 Wicked 53 Smell brook 54 machine; caaino feature 55 Confident 56 Therefore 57 Distort 60 Woman's under garment 33 Ol the kidneys 36 Pea casing 36 Actor/comedkNl _ Brook* 38 Relinquished 39 Unhappy 42 Dwells 44 Baby food 48 Like moat of today's Ores 47 Attka. for one 49 Amounts owed 60 Devoutnees NEWS a! i Wtm' fsfci MEGHAN PITTMAN I Tn Ru> * Buci ▲ A car is pulled out of HaH-Moon Outfitters in Five Points Monday night after the vehicle’s brakes failed and the driver lost control. cl i jp 706 542-3243 or /f de.advsorOgewgwwitef uga edu • If (yi I lie l 'nuvniti i>lt,ct>r|!ij CUSSES THAT FIT is VfsL **v™*<* " distance learning I YOUR SCHEDULE 1197 South Lumpkin Street •ttwnt, Georgia 30602-3603 JUNKMAN'S DAUGHTERS BROTHER best prices on costumes In (own!

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."
