Trader Joe’s
not hurting
Earth Fare,
Daily Co-op
By PATRICK HOOPER
The Red & Black
Trader Joe’s is the new
grocery store in town, but
the shop is making fewer
waves than one might
expect from the California
based chain.
Walt Swanson, co-man
ager of the Daily Groceries
Co-op on Prince Avenue,
said he’s seen it all before.
“We didn’t think there
was going to be a prob
lem,” Swanson said. An
18-year-veteran of the
Co-op and a manager for
10 years, Swanson has
already seen the Co-op
through the opening of
Earth Pare at Five Points.
“When Earth Fare came in,
we took a hit for about a
year and a half before our
sales came back up to nor
mal.”
Opening its doors for
the first time in Athens on
Epps Bridge Parkway,
Trader Joe's sets itself
apart from the typical gro
cery with a relative scarcity
of brand-name products.
The Athens location
owes much of its existence
to the efforts of University
student Caitlin Sanders,
whose grass-roots efforts,
including a Facebook
group, were key to making
Trader Joe’s a local instal

lation.
Though situated near a
Wal-Mart, Athens' Trader
Joe’s actually has more in
common with smaller
health food stores such as
Earth Fare and the Co-op,
which, by Swanson’s esti
mation, affords Athens res
idents the chance to buy
from approximately 50
local farmers in a 20- to
25-mile radius of the city.
Of course, it’s hard to
tell there’s anew competi
tor in town with how little
it has affected either store.
The Trader Joe’s open
ing has amounted to little
more than a slight decrease
of sales, according to
Swanson. He attributed
the non-event, in part, to
the flact that the two loca
tions sit on different sides
of town.
Henry Kugler, store
manager of Earth Fare,
said there has been no
change in the store’s busi
ness. And Kugler said he
wasn’t at all surprised.
“We figured the novelty
of it would affect us some
in the first few weeks as
people go to see what it’s
all about,” he said.
Of course, even if Trader
Joe’s had started siphon
ing customers, Kugler said
he doesn't mind newcom
ers in the market, as those

Native American groups rare
Enrollment
usually low
By JULIA CARPENTER
The Red & Black
Students at the
University can belong to
any number of cultural stu
dent organizations
designed to fit each and
every interest: the Indian
Students’ Association, the
Korean Undergraduate
Student Association,
Persian Student Union,
World Ambassadors club
and African Student Union
among a myriad of others.
But one particular eth
nic group has no place on
this list of student organi
zations no student group
exists at the University for
Native American students.
Jace Weaver, director of
the Institute of Native
American Studies, said low
membership is the major
reason behind the lack of
official Native American
representation in the
Center for Student
Organizations.
“We have a small native
student population,”
Weaver said. “We’re trying
to increase that, but there
are very few Native
American students at the
University.”
Ervan Garrison, a pro
fessor of anthropology and
member of the steering
committee for the INAS,
said the number of Native
American students at the
University is influenced by
multiple factors.

report.
Cranford was arrested at about 11:30
p.m. after officers saw two females cross
ing Broad Street in front of traffic against
the ‘Do Not Walk’ sign. Both admitted to
having alcohol and consented to breath
tests. Officers contacted the mother of
the girl accompanying Cranford because
of her minor status, according to the
report.
Cranford was arrested and taken to
Clarke County Jail. Her companion was
turned over to her mother, according to
the report.
Break-ins abound at student residences
Athens-Clarke County Police received
reports of break-ins at at least 16 student
residences over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Residences on College Avenue, West
Hancock Street, Gaines School Road and
Vine Street, among other locations, were
targeted. Electronics, such as
Playstations, Wiis and laptop computers
were among the items reported stolen.
A majority of the reports came later in
the week, as students returned from the
break and noticed items missing.

“It depends on a lot of
things that UGA can’t real
ly control," he said.
Garrison said he has not
been approached by a size
able number of students to
form such an organization.
“I’ve talked about it with
a couple off and on, but I
guess they just can’t find a
nucleus or enough people
to make it worth their
while,” he said.
Garrison was at one
time the faculty sponsor
for a University chapter of
a national Native American
student organization, the
American Indian Science
Sc Engineering Society.
The American Indian
Science Sc Engineering
Society Is a national orga
nization dedicated to
increasing Native American
representation in science,
technology, engineering
and mathematics. The
organization serves as an
umbrella for Individual
projects, helmed by profes
sional members, retirees
and University chapters.
“I think for three or four
years we had about a half
dozen or more students
who were pretty active,"
Garrison said.
Despite the organiza
tion’s reasonable success
early oh, Garrison said that
over time, membership
dwindled to a pitiful num
ber until the chapter could
no longer (Unction and it
disappeared.

people who identify them

Weaver said he has not
talked with any students
calling for an official orga
nization for Native
Americans.
“I haven’t heard of that,”
he said. “But I’d be willing.”
Garrison said despite
the failure of the American
Indian Science Sc
Engineering Society chap
ter, he sees the need for
such an organization grow
ing as more Native
American students enroll
at the University.
“There is a possibility
that we will see more native
students enrolling in UGA,
not because we’re running
out and recruiting them,
but there is an interest on
the part of some of the
tribes in our area, like up in
North Carolina and that,
looking at UGA as an alter
native school for their stu
dents," he said. “And
they’re really good stu
dents, so if they want to
come here, they can come
here,”
