MAN ON THE STREET:
Facebook is already a creeper magnet.
Now, with the addition of anew feature that allows
any user to “See Friendship" between any two other
people, many University students believe the opportuni
ties for creeping have been amplified.
But some Facebook users say the feature doesn’t vio
late privacy instead, it creates a “virtual scrapbook”
of a friendship to flick through for years to come.
The feature automatically creates a separate friend
ship page for each interaction between Facebook

▲ The bike rental program would place three bike racks around campus where students would be
able to check out bikes. Anderson said the bike rental program will make Athens a better place.
BIKE: Students solicit businesses’ support
► From Pago 1
could sponsor a particular
bike by placing a serial
number on that bike,
enabling a student to
receive coupons from the
sponsor after a certain
number of uses.
“If I rode that bike 15
times through the month,
at the end of the month a
restaurant will send me a
check for 15 percent off my
next meal because that's
how many times I rode it,”
she said.
The alternative trans
portation program would
come at a good time after
several complaints have
been made about buses
being overcrowded, par
ticularly during class
hours.
“Imagine if taking the
bus was fun,” Nooruddin
said. “But instead they are
crowded and parking
sucks, so people are going
to use [Dawgbike] for con
venience regardless.”
The campus would have
three major bike racks
placed on North, South
and East campus. Anderson
has also suggested a plan
to have students register
cell phones. Students
would text a number and
the bike lock would
unlock.
The proposal helps the
environment on several
fronts.
“We’ve talked about
starting a bicycle recycling
program because every
year there’s anywhere
between 30 and 90 bikes
that are left on campus and
abandoned,” Anderson
said.
Nooruddin suggested
the small businesses that
dish out coupons could
also provide some -of the
ftrnds for a bike if the rental
cost would benefit those
businesses.
Anderson, who has spo

ken with representatives
from Beechwood shopping
center and Lakeside
Apartments, said it’s diffi
cult to strike a deal with
businesses using only a
theoretical model.
“It’s hard to get respons
es from those places,” she
said. “They want to see if
the program is working
before they take a gamble.
And everyone’s concerned
about what it’s going to
cost them.”

“friends.” The individual page compiles wall posts, com
ments, shared likes, photos, event attendances and
more.
The “See Friendship” feature on Facebook delights
some and scares others, so The Red & Black asked
University students how they feel about the new feature
do you like to see your friendships memorialized by
Facebook?

"It's creepy, but at the

fun."
Regardless of the lack of
financial support, Anderson
has received critical praise
from several universities
and institutions outside of
the University.
“When we talked to Lexi.
she said a big issue was
that she wanted to pitch
this idea to UOA first
because there have been
other universities that have
come to her and offered
her a consulting position
where she gets paid to

come and tell them about
her idea because she has
the intellectual rights to
it,” said Phillip Oberkofler,
a pre-journalism mgjor
from Marietta.
Anderson said the goal
of the bike rental program
is to make Athens a better
place.
“There is no need to
wait unto we graduate to
start applying what we
learn and making an
impact,” she said.
