SGA may extend reach
By KATIE VALENTINE
The Red & Black
Jennifer Burke has never paid a
University athletic fee. She hasn’t pur
chased $8 student football tickets and
has never voted in a Student Government
Association election.
Burke’s situation may be unusual
among students at the University’s main
campus, but at the University’s extended
campuses, it is common. Burke, a senior
from Griffin, is a biology student at the
University’s Griffin campus, a school that
accepts only transfer students. Burke
said she likes the small size of the Griffin
campus, but she would like to feel more
included in the larger University commu
nity.
“We are definitely an individual, small
er community,” she said. “I don’t think
we’re very involved as far as the Athens
campus is concerned. We’re kind of like
the red-headed stepchild.” Students at
the University’s extended
campuses, which are
located in Griffin, Tifton
and Gwinnett, do not pay
the student athletic fee
and are therefore not eli
gible for reduced-price
student tickets. And
Burke said students at
the Griffin campus rarely
vote in SGA elections or
referendums.
“We’re told about dif
ferent activities and different changes,
but we’re not included in the change,"
she said. “We just have to go along with
what the Athens campus thinks.”
Teresa Raetz, director of student
affairs for extended campuses, said she
wants to help students at the University’s
satellite campuses feel more connected
to Athens by extending SGA representa
tion to these campuses. She said stu
dents at other campuses often don’t vote
in elections or on referendums because
they aren’t aware of these voting oppor
tunities.
“We don’t ever know when elections
are happening because they aren’t publi
cized at other campuses,” she said.
Raetz said she spoke with SGA

President Josh Delaney earlier in the
semester to discuss ways of extending
SGA into other campuses. She said she
hopes to have further discussions about
the topic with SGA leadership and the
new dean of students and begin planning
next semester.
Delaney said more representation at
extended campuses could help these
students be more involved in decisions
that affect them.
“Some of the things that we work on,
especially things with academic policy,
affect students at extended campuses as
well,” he said. “We kind of all determined
that we didn’t have a solid method for
getting their feedback on things that
affect them, so we were talking about
how we can strengthen their voice.”
Nancye Lee, a master’s student at the
Gwinnett campus, said she and many of
her classmates feel separated from the
Athens campus. However, since the
Gwinnett campus only offers advanced
degrees, the student body has different
needs and priorities than those of other
University students.
“A lot of what they do in Athens really
doesn’t relate very much to what we do
in Gwinnett,” Lee said. “We’re an older
population for the most part —most of
us are working.” Lee said she would like
to feel more connected to the Athens
campus because the campus has many
opportunities for students to increase
their knowledge of their major and to
explore other fields of study.
“I just feel as though the students at
the Athens program get more recogni
tion, simply because they’re there not
because they’re a better group of stu
dents, but just that they’re on campus,”
she said.
Burke said she hopes SGA can come
up with a plan to include students of
extended campuses in the decisions it
makes, because she thinks all University
students not only those in Athens
should be able to voice their opinions.
“The extended campuses are UGA
students. We get the same degree, we
pay the same tuition and we graduate on
the same day in the same field, but we
don’t get say-so in the same things they
do,” she said.

Kwanzaa celebrates ancestry
By KATHRYN INGALL
The Red & Black
All you need for Kwanzaa
is family, dance and food.
“This Kwanzaa celebra
tion is a call for African-
American families to gath
er and allow the UGA com
munity to create unity and
celebrate the seven princi
ples of Kwanzaa,” said
Akbar Imhotep, an African
storyteller who performed
at the event.
A pre-Kwanzaa celebra
tion was held in the Tate
ballroom, featuring tradi
tional Zulu dance by
Soweto Street Beat and
performances from student
members of the African
American Cultural Center.
“I loved it. It was so edu
cational. You learn some
thing each time each
time it’s different,” said
Shelia Colbert who came
with her two grandchildren
and grand-nephew.
After Soweto Street
Beat’s performance, chil
dren and adults were invit
ed to the stage to partici
pate.
A pile of high heels sat

doned them while dancing.
“We dance barefoot in
Africa because we believe
feeling the earth under our
feet gives power and heals
our whole body,” said
Isabelle Ngcobo, the
group’s artistic director.
Laßetha Spain-Shuler,
director of the African
American Cultural Center,
said 200 of the 300 tickets
are reserved for students
until the day before the
event. All 300 tickets were
claimed.
“Because the purpose of
Kwanzaa is family, commu
nity and culture, we really
try to engage the Athens
community,” she said.
Kwanzaa, which is
Swahili for “first fruits,”
was created in 1966 to cel
ebrate African American
ancestry from Dec. 26
through Jan. 1.
“We’re finding now more
students are aware of
Kwanzaa. A lot of it is being
aware [of the holiday] as a
result of being a part of the
AACC. Even so, they come
not really knowing what to
expect,” Spain-Shuler said.
Imhotep said the seven
principles of Kwanzaa
unity, self-determination,
coming from her breath,
became uncooperative,
according to the report.
She refused to leave
without her purse, began
“screaming” at other peo
ple in the area and repeat
edly used expletives as she
called the arresting officer
a “racist,” according to the
report.
Once at the station,
Kelley reportedly freed one
of her hands from her
handcuffs as the officer
filled out paperwork.
When the officer asked
her to stand so he could
re-secure the handcuffs,
Kelley reportedly said
“no.”
As she resisted, Kelley
continued to call the offi-
purpose, creativity, faith,
collective work and respon
sibility and cooperative
economics should go
beyond the seven-day cele
bration.
“Those principles tran
scend the week. Those
principles should become
part of our DNA,” Imhotep
said.
During the ceremony,
students from organiza
tions within the AACC pre
sented each of the seven
principles.
“I know in elementary
school we had a Kwanzaa
celebration, but it’s not
something I personally cel
ebrated,” said Monique
Campbell, a social studies
education msyor who rep
resented the University
chapter of the NAACP at
the celebration.
Imhotep told two sto
ries —one about a cat who
could change colors, but
discovered he was happiest
when he was the color he
was created to be.
“Both those stories are
about knowing who you are
and being who you are.
That connects us to why
we celebrate Kwanzaa,” he
said.

him in the chest as she
yelled “get away,” accord
ing to the report.
Other officers got
involved in the situation
and the arresting officer
walked away, as to have no
further contact with the
offender, according to the
report.
University student
Armita Meghan Didehvar,
24, was also placed under
arrest for involvement with
this incident.

ting Trimm when she
