▲ Construction around the Hull Street parking deck has caused issues
for several students. All cars must enter the deck using Waddell Street.
Construction-ridden deck hosts largest number of break-ins
By TIFFANY STEVENS
The Red & Black
Numerous reports of entering autos in
the Hull Street Parking Deck may not
indicate a pattern, University Police offi
cials say.
The Hull Street Deck has been the site
of a majority of University Police reports
for entering autos during 2010. Out of 52
entering autos reported this year, nine
were reported as occurring in Hull Street
deck, according to police reports. North
Deck, West Deck and Broad Street Art
Studios lot each received four reports of
entering autos during the year; placing
them at the second highest frequency.
Chief of Police Jimmy Williamson said
he did not feel the entering autos at Hull
THOSE WERE THE DAYS...
Editor’s Note: This Thursday series chronicles some of the most interesting, hilarious and monumental moments
that happened this week in the University’s history.
LAW SCHOOL CLASSES ENTER IWTH YEAR
> • *, ■')' ’ . ,v:’ \
This week the University School of Law celebrates 151 years of judicious legal ftm.
The school had first been located on the comer of Broad and Lumpkin and was known as Lumpkin Law
School until its incorporation into the University this week in 1859.
Until 1919, law students studied in two small, cramped classrooms and an even smaller room serving as the
library, but today, future attorneys and Supreme Court justices while away the hours in North Campus’s majes
tic Law Library, looking out the building's enormous windows onto Herty Field.
STUDENT WINS PENTHOUSE PET DATE
It was an unlikely love story, featuring an exotic model and a 19-year-old fraternity boy from rural Georgia
—and for one week the University went nuts for it.
This week in 1978, student David Camp won a date with the Penthouse Pet of the Year, Dominique Maure.
“I ain’t never won a raffle in my life until now,” Camp told The Red & Black. “I just bought the ticket five
minutes before the raffle and I just had this funny feeling. She sounded real personal when I talked to her. When
I went up she said ‘Why don’t you hug my neck’ and I said ‘Hell yeah!’”
The campus was abuzz with news of the improbable pairing.
Maure visited the University’s Sigma Chi fraternity to pick up Camp before their date.
“As she spoke [to The Red & Black], several Sigma Chi fraternity members called out to passersby yelling,
‘You don’t know what you are missing!’”
Camp said he was willing to ditch any previous obligation in order to stretch out his time with Maure.
“My girlfriend doesn’t care,” he said, “Well, not really.”

Who knew mere fire hydrants could be University emblems of love and peace?
A Nov. 19,1980, issue of The Red & Black reported on an unusual class project students in a lower-level
speech class painted nine fire hydrants throughout Athens, with several taking the form of lovable bulldogs and I
others decorated “to resemble rainbows, an international symbol of peace.”
According to The Red St Black, “the Dogs are the heroes of everyone In town even the fire hydrants."
TECH NERD PEP RALLY PLANNED ,
Break out your Harry Potter glasses, hitch your pants high and button that top
most button of your collar.
The Oeorgia-Oeorgla Tech game, the Bulldogs’ last home game of the 2010 sea
son, is still more than a week away —but in 1980 University students firmly believed
that “between the hedges, it’s never too soon to show Tech what the Dogs think
about them.”
The rivalry has inspired numerous jokes and pranks, but two decades ago the
Residence Hall Association sponsored an unusual event to get students riled up in
advance for the big game.
“The Residence Hall Association is sponsoring the First Annual Georgia Tech
Look Alike Contest to help raise spirit for the Dogs’ arch-rival game against Tech.
Students are being asked to come to class dressed like their favorite Georgia Tech
nerd or nerdette.”
That pocket protector might be coming in handy sooner than you’d think.

O’LOONEY: Education tops priorities
► From Pago &
O’Looney supporters are
glad she chose to run.
“I think Gwen’s the per
son for right now,” Athens
resident Kathleen Cason
said. “She’s well-connect
ed to people young, old,
town, gown, Hispanic,
black, white, rich and
poor.”
When asked about
short-term goals for
Athens, O’Looney said she
plans to review the regula
tions, policies and proce
dures that are barriers to
business, to quickly devel
op a budget and develop
partnerships.
Street Deck indicated a pattern, however.
“People break into vehicles because
they want something that’s inside. They
don’t just break into cars looking,” he
said. “They might hit us in an area, and
then another week hit us in a different
area. And then for a couple of weeks noth
ing will happen.”
Recently, Williamson said University
Police have been on the lookout for suspi
cious persons near Hull Street Deck. He
also said the department has employed
methods in the past to decrease the num
ber of vehicles that are broken into.
“We have some people of interest that
we’re looking into right now. A couple of
nights ago we had a few people [at the
Hull Street Parking Deck] that fled from
us on foot,” he said. “We also patrol cer-
“I will be looking at the
budget and immediately I
will give directions to the
manager about what prin
ciples and directions I
want the budget to take,”
O’Looney said. “And from
day one I said I’ll have a
meeting related to eco
nomic development.”
As for long-term goals,
O’Looney said she hopes
to create a school-to-work
transition in the commu
nity that allows everyone
to continue their educa
tion, thus creating a more
educated workforce. She
also hopes to draw more
businesses to Athens.
"You’ve seen that per

county size, we’re one of
the poorest counties in the
nation,” Cason said. “We’re
leaving a lot of people
behind, but as the center
of higher learning for the
state, we need to consoli
date our resources and
take action.”
And O’Looney said she
is up to the challenge.
“I am willing to take
risks. I have some courage
and I’m not Just sitting
back,” she said. "I believe
in a progressive proactive
approach for the next four
years. I think it’s crucial,
and I wouldn’t be running
if I hadn’t thought that we
have got to get to work.”
Hull Street parking problems
should be corrected by spring
By KATHRYN INQALL
The Red & Black
For students complain
ing about the construction
around the Hull Parking
Deck it’s almost over.
The Hull Street entrance
to the deck should be open
next semester, said Danny
Sniff, associate vice presi
dent of the facilities plan
ning office.
Since August, students
parking in the deck have
been forced to use only the
Waddell Street entrance
due to the construction of
the new Special Collections
Library.
“It’s causing me to be
late to class even though I
get there 20 to 25 minutes
early,” said junior English
and French major Jamie
Lewis.
Since Hull Street is
closed and construction
crews have put up fences
around the area, students
must navigate a maze of
fences, mud and gravel.
Phillip Neal, the con
struction foreman, said the
tain areas, and we set up watches in areas.
We even set up bait cars to try and catch
individuals.”
Williamson said some parking decks
use other security methods, such as sur
veillance cameras, but he said those meth
ods do not always prove useful.
“If I’ve got a picture of somebody doing
something, I’ve still got to identity them,”
he said. “Sometimes the only people we
have who could identity the person are
people who are connected to them. And
they may not want to give them up,
because they might be involved in the
same type of activity."
The number of reports of entering
autos on campus indicate low risk for
those parking on campus, Williamson
said.
Happy Thanksgiving!

construction in front of the
Hull Street entrance is the
result of pipes being laid
along the road.
“We’re just working on
the pipes. The work should
be done by mid-December
—then they can put in the
road and open the
entrance,” Neal said.
Neal said chilled water
lines and hot water lines
are being laid to go to Mell
Hall as well as the new col
lections library.
“Usually on Tuesdays
and Thursdays it’s pretty
rough getting into the
deck. I’ve been late to class
several times,” said Katie
Jordan, a junior psychology
major from Dalton.
Jordan also said since
the sidewalk to the third
floor entrance has been
closed, the first floor exit is
the only way in and out for
all levels of the deck.
Anna Reynolds of the
University’s Parking
Services said the only alter
native is to join the waiting
list for another permit loca
tion.
DENSON: Businesses key
in addressing poverty
► From Pago 1
as the three toughest challenges facing Athens right
now. “We have a reduction in income in the county and
usually when you have a reduction in income in the gov
ernment, you usually see a reduction in income for the
individual,” Denson said. “Which means there’s a lot
more demand for government services.” Denson plans to
start an “economic government business council" to
open the lines of communication between local busi
nesses and the government.
“The only way to address poverty is with jobs,”
Denson said. “But you have to identity a problem before
you can solve it, so what I want to do is talk to business
people and ask specifically what the government is doing
or is not doing that makes it difficult for them to do then
jobs.” Denson’s short-term goals involve increasing the
number of business and working with the businesses
that are around now.
“We want to be a place that nurtures the businesses
we’ve got and attracts more businesses,” she said.
And her policies on business attract supporters.
“I’ve known Nancy for 15 years and she’s a very fair
and personable person, she can relate to people,” Athens
resident Debrah Jackson said. “I hope that she wins. I
think she knows enough people being in public service
for 30 years that she can take this over by a landslide.”
Denson said she feels confident in her abilities.
“I believe I’m going to win the runoff, I think that
probably the majority of the people in the county identi
ty with me," Denson said. “I just believe that the educa
tion, training and background that I have is more vital
right now, more needed."

Lewis said it’s frustrat
ing to pay for the conve
nience of parking closer to
the center of campus, but
still be late to class because
of traffic at the parking
deck.
However, she hasn’t con
sidered requesting a per
mit for another parking
place because the traffic
problems are not consis
tent.
Though the deck will be
open by next semester, stu
dents will have to wait to
use the library. The library
should be complete by
mid-summer and open for
students by next fall, Sniff
said. •
The ground-breaking of
the new Special Collections
Library was on Jan. 28.
The $46 million library
will be the new home of the
Hargrett Rare Book Si
Manuscript Library,
Richard B. Russell Library
for Political Research and
Studies and the Walter J
Brown Media Archives and
Peabody Awards
Collection.
“The last couple of years, we’ve had
under 100 [reports],” he said. “I wish it
were zero, but for the year, and if you
think about the thousands of cars we
have parked on campus, those are really
good numbers.”
Students, faculty and visitors parking
on campus can reduce the risk their car
will be broken into by concealing valu
ables In their car, Williamson said.
“There’s a partnership in having a safe
community. That’s why we highlight
things that people can do to reduce their
risk,” he said. “To reduce your risk for this
type of crime you can hide your valuables
under the seats, or in the dashboard
anywhere that’s out of sight. People can
greatly reduce their risk even if they hide
things under jackets.”
