2A Thursday, October 28, aoio | The Red * Black ELECTION Q&A WITH NATHAN DEAL AND ROY BARNES Editor’s Note: With less than a toeek to go before the gubernatorial election, The Red & Black conducted e-mail interviews with both the Republican and Democratic gubernatorial candidates to see why the University is important to them. Why should a University student vote for you? Deal: As governor, I want to make sure that our educational system, including the University System, remains strong and competitive. I want to create an economic environment that will bring more Jobs to Georgia and would allow graduates of the University of Georgia to stay in Georgia and find a career and start a family. Barnes: Though UGA students may not be focused on more than passing their next exam or beating Florida this weekend, every Georgian needs to be thinking about the future. This election is about our children and our grandchildren. It’s about education, about jobs, about Georgia and its future. My first pri ority as governor will be restoring adequate funding to our state’s public education system. What is your position on getting a stu dent representative on the Board of Regents? Deal: I believe that our current board provides representation from across the state, While I would not change the makeup of the board, I would consider creating an advisory position. Barnes: I think it’s a very good one. I’m in favor of getting a student repre sentative on the Board of Regents. Some of the best ideas that I have seen in every campaign and while I served in public life have come from college cam puses. How will you handle the budget cuts facing the state with relation to higher education? Deal; Of all the priorities of state government, education must be among the highest. We need to prepare univer sity students to compete in a global economy. At the same time, we are fac- ing uncertain times in terms of the state budget. I will do everything in my power to limit the adverse impact on our public colleges. Barnes: Higher education is the key that unlocks a prosperous future for individual students, including jobs, and it is a key piece of my vision of economic development, job creation and prosperity for Georgia. The first thing that needs to happen in Georgia is the General Assembly and the Office of the Governor needs to fund higher education. Last year, our University System was being funded at 1998 levels. That has a negative effect on our great colleges and universities as well as effectively draining the HOPE Scholarship. Do you have any affiliation with UGA? Deal: My son, Jason, is a graduate of the UGA law school and my daughter-in-law, Denise, earned her undergraduate degree from UGA. Barnes: The first time I was ever in Athens was when my father dropped me off for freshman orienta tion. I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia, and went straight through another three years and earned my law degree from UGA as well. I currently serve on the Board of Visitors for the law school. What is your most memorable college moment? Deal: On a break from school, I went home and a high school classmate introduced me to her college roommate. Her name was Sandra and that blind date has turned into 44 years of marriage. Barnes: In my senior year at UGA, I went on a blind date with a beautiful, intelligent young lady named Marie. We've been married 40 years now and I love her with all of my heart. We live close to our three children and six grandchildren. Compiled by Mimi Ensley OME.TWOJHREE.Y WHY IS BECAUSE IT RIANS \ NO, IT I THINK \IT IS NOT \ HEY. (TBEATS FOUR -MOTS.

It takes a little bit more dedica tion ride a bike that far. About 30 people from the University’s Baptist Collegiate Ministries are doing just that during the group’s annual Ride for Christ. Nathan Byrd, BCM campus minis ter, said cyclists mostly will ride par allel to U.S. Highway 441 and Georgia State Route 15. But at night they’ll ride on the four-lane Highway 441, bookended by the vehicles. Cyclists depart from Watldnsville today around 10 a m. for the 30-hour trip. Duane Jurma, a junior from Lawrenceville and a photographer for this year’s ride, will provide encouragement for the Jacksonville trip. He and others will ride in vehi cles in front of and behind the cyclists, cheering them on and acting as a barrier between them and other cars. Night or day, Byrd said a support vehicle is always within eyesight of cyclists. The vehicles will don Christmas lights and reflective tape saying “Cyclists ahead.” “You can see us from miles away, we’re so lit up," Byrd said. “You’d have to be blind not to see us.” While in hilly North Georgia, they will ride in 20-mile legs, stopping in between for water and snacks. When they reach flat South Georgia, they will aim for 30-mile legs, said Scott Murphy, a second year master’s student who will ride to Jacksonville for the third time. Still, riding 300 miles with 10-min ute snack breaks every 30 miles is THOSE WERE THE DAYS.... Editor’s Note: This Thursday series chronicles some of the most interesting, hilarious and monumental moments that hap pened this week in the University’s history. POLO IS ASSURED FOR ATHENS AND UNIVERSITY Beyond lending its name to one of today’s apartment com munities in Athens, the University Polo Club started this week in 1924 was not as successful as many in the ‘2os had hoped it would be. “Athens has obtained a polo field, orga nized a polo team and is well on the way toward having this game an established feature of the sports activities in this city.” The sport never attracted a sizeable student following, and it certainly didn’t achieve the level of popularity The Red & Black originally predicted in an Oct. 30 issue. "[Polo] is expected to prove a strong rival of football and other sports.” Football remains king for most University sports fans. tarzarts Shaped Not relaxed Chances and aft Offensive "Step !*; "Huny up!"

He recommended bike shorts for the butt padding. And Murphy said because cyclists are constantly burning calories, they must continue refueling during breaks. He should know he said once when his potassium was low, his leg cramped while he pedaled uphill and his bike toppled over. He rode in a van until the next leg of the Journey. The middle part of the ride is the hardest for Murphy that’s when he has to fight to stay awake and ener gized. Gudger said he’s found a solution to that problem Mountain Dew and ibuprofen. “Staying awake is not an issue,” Gudger said. Each cyclist is encouraged to raise S4OO for the SendMeNow mission ANCIENT INDIAN’S GHOST HAUNTS MANUSCRIPT ROOM OF MAIN LIBRARY Beware of hanging around odd nooks of the University's Main Library this Halloween. In the 19505. building janitors refused to clean several manuscript rooms because they feared late-night spooks “Cleveland Billups, the library’s old est janitor, says he firmly believes that a ghost resides in the locked vault in the library's special collections room.” Library workers believed a Native American skeleton on display at an Indian burial exhibit was walking the halls at night making odd noises behind the book stacks. Just in time to dispel All Hallow’s Eve rumors, an Oct. 31,1957 issue of The Red & Black revealed the ghostly rumblings were actually just caused by the room’s poor acoustics. “At night, when a person fitting at the last table moves, his movements may be heard from the direction of the stacks.” RUSSELL DATING SERVICE SET Innumerable freshmen boys have dreamed of merely calling a hotline and ordering beautiful co-eds to arrive at their dorms within the hour —and in 1971, Larry King and Scott Hiliey decided to turn this dream into a reality in Russell Hall. The two University students started Russell Hall Dating, a free service run through King and Hilley's dorm room that paired male and female participants based on answers to an interest survey. At times of great demand like the 1971 Homecoming weekend Hiliey and King would set guys and gals up blindly, hoping for the best. “Boys are all for it, but girls are all wary at first. I think they feel like they’re being picked up or something,” Hiliey said. “Of course, if somebody got married or some thing, it’d be nice to know I had a hand in it.” CRIME NOTEBOOK Arrest warrant issued for underage possession An arrest warrant was issued for University stu dent Hannah Olivia Dees. 18, Tuesday for underage possession of alcohol. Dees was questioned by University Police at 12:40 a.m. Saturday after police responded to a call that said she was intoxicated and barely conscious in the Russell Hall lobby. Dees had an odor “com monly associated with an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath” and had slurred speech and blood shot, red eyes, the police report stated. According to the police report, Dees told police she consumed “too much” gßf BrillfMJfIJWjL HbSKI trips that place college students worldwide, in places such as In Thailand, Peru and Russia. Murphy said he signed up the first year just to meet new people, not to add an athletic notch to his belt. Murphy has continued to ride in support of summer mission trips through Georgia Baptist Collegiate Missions. Once the group reaches the Jacksonville city limit sign Friday afternoon and the trip is over, Gudger said he will want a bed and a shower. As for dedication, he said he’s the type of person who does things com pletely and fully. “I am one of those lunatics,” Gudger said. But he said he won’t be celebrat ing his arrival to Jacksonville very long. “I’m going to crawl in a hole and sleep a while,” he said. alcohol. When EMS per sonnel asked Dees about the date and where she was, Dees was unable to answer. “Dees was too intoxicat ed to answer these ques tions correctly and kept repeating the number 23,” according to the police report. Dees was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital at 12:59 am. Saturday. Postage stamp swindler Forty sheets of first class stamps worth S6OO were stolen en route to a University employee between Oct. 21 and Oct. 26, according to a theft report filed with University Police Tuesday. KAZOO POWER This week in 1973, The Red & Black profiled the Mell- Lipscomb community Kazoo Band. “Bandleader Vic Bray said he founded the band because ‘while we don’t go to the games, we do enjoy some of the atmosphere. So we decided to do something... be it honest or satirical.’” Forty band members performed pub licly outside Sanford Stadium’s main gate on gamedays, regal ing football fans with such University favorites as “Dixie” and “Glory, Glory to Old Georgia.” Compiled by Julia Carpenter ONLINE Police Documents Amy Lynn Peterson, an administrative associate in the center for computa tional quantum chemistry, told University Police she ordered the stamps from a website. She reported the stamps she ordered were removed from the mailing envelope before it was delivered to her. Peterson reported the theft to Campus Mail Services and the U.S. Postal Service, the police report stated. Compiled by Katie Valentine
