2 Monday, December 6, 2010 | The Red & Black 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.

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.

The holiday celebration begins Dec. 26 and lasts until Jan. 1. 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 on the edge of the stage where women had aban CRIME NOTEBOOK Student kicks officer after arrest The right to remain silent something one University student took for granted after being placed under arrest Saturday. University student Danielle Fluhler Kelley, 21, was originally placed into custody after she was seen pushing another female to the ground near the inter section of College Avenue and East Clayton Street at about 2:30 a.m. When an officer tried to walk her to the downtown substation for processing, Kelley, who reportedly had slurred speech and a strong odor of alcohol 124/10 dark 48 Recedes 49 Pass out cards 50 Facts & fig ures 52 Merit; deserve 53 Mild oath 54 Fib teller 55 Nervous 59 Behold UGA^^HJ Online JP Classesj . §;’ ' 706-542-3243 Of 800-877-3243 de.advisof@georgiacenter.uga.edu ' N&jSvSe* * • If |-r| Hie University of licorgu & MA’’ ( ' fntrr ,Gr ( ontiHuma Mmatnoh CLASSES THAT FIT YOUR SCHEDULE 1197 South Lumpkin Street • Athens, Georgia 30602-3603 |j _xpAl 2/31/10 7? •**o^ 1101 1010 1101 2101 2980 3230 3980 4200 4220 4000 1001 1002 1003 1006 4000 1101 2470 1010 2300 2000 2000 3000 3010 2000 2000 POLS POUL PSYC PSYC PSYC PSYC PSYC PSYC PSYC REAL RELI RELI RELI RELI RMIN SOCI SOCI SPCM SPCM SPED STAT STAT TELE THEA TXMI Call 706 546-1440 (800) 354-7874 Call for Reservations 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. ONLINE Police Documents cer a “racist” and kicked 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. Amateur traffic guard arrested You don’t have to have a yellow vest to try to stop traffic. University student Katherine Joanna Trimm, 23, was arrested and charged with pedestrian under the influence on Saturday pat about 1:55 a.m. after she was seen try ing stop traffic on East Broad Street, according to a University Police report. The arresting officer reported he had to “slam” on the breaks to avoid hit ting Trimm when she entered the street and raised her hand to stop traffic. After pulling over, the officer observed Trimm had a strong odor of alco hol on her breath and slurred speech, according to the report. ’ Trimm was cited and transported to Clarke County Jail for processing.
