The Beaver Trail subdivision is the kind of place where neigh-bors walk their dogs and enjoy typically quiet days. This silence was broken Tuesday afternoon, however, as all-but-typical gun-shots rang into the air.

Although little was known ini-tially, Athens-Clarke County Police have now released the names of the victims and suspect

involved in the shooting.Robert Norred, 28, is in police

custody after it is believed he shot and killed his 29-year-old sister, Leigh Pope, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday night.

Also wounded in the shooting were 31-year-old sister Amy Norred and retired College of Veterinary Medicine employee Carol Norred, 63.

Robert Norred, who police told the AJC is autistic, is in

critical condition at Athens Regional Medical Center after it appears he shot himself in the bathroom of the home.

Ron and Jeannie Ellington, neighbors of 20 years, said they would never have suspected this kind of thing from Robert Norred.

“We remember him growing up,” Ron Ellington told The Red & Black Tuesday. “He came over to feed our dogs when we went out of town.”

However, Ellington said they have seen much less of him after he graduated from Cedar Shoals High School.

ACC police responded after receiving a report of gunshots at Carol Norred’s home located at 138 Beaver Trail.

Because it was initially unknown who or where the shooter was, police fanned out and began surveying the neigh-borhood.

“While they tried to determine

everything, there were police dogs and officers walking house to house,” Jeannie Ellington said. “They alerted us to stay in the house and keep our doors locked.”

Ellington also recalled a heli-copter circling overhead.

After carefully searching the home, Amy Norred’s 4-year-old child and Pope’s newborn infant were also discovered to be inside the house; however, both of the children were unharmed.

FOUR OF A KINDCaptains look to end careers on high note

By LISA GLASERTHE RED & BLACK

Four senior captains lead the Georgia men’s tennis team — each with distinct personalities, individual histories, separate strengths and unique leadership styles — they have lived, played, traveled, lost and won together over the last four years.

Alex Hill, Jamie Hunt, Nate Schnugg and Christian Vitulli made up the No. 1 recruiting class in the country as freshmen in 2006. In their four years at Georgia, they helped bring home two national championships. Their team finished at No. 2 in 2006, No. 1 in 2007 and 2008 and No. 6 in 2009.

With the regular season over, the captains face their last SEC tourna-ment starting today in Lexington, Ky. Then, they will move on to compete in their last NCAA Tournament held in Athens starting in late May.

It will be the end of four seasons and four records that built the four relationships, which are at the helm of the No. 11 Bulldogs.

The seniors knew each other, or met each other briefly, before starting school together four years ago.

Though raised in places spanning the country and world — Hill grew up in Atlanta, Hunt in San Antonio, Texas, Schnugg in Medford, Ore., and Vitulli in Mombasa, Kenya — their paths intertwined while competing on the junior tennis circuit.

Hunt and Schnugg competed against each other for the first time when they were ten years old, before training together in San Antonio as teenagers. Vitulli committed to Georgia based on his friendship with Hunt and Schnugg and their decision to don the red and black. Hill met Hunt on a recruiting trip, and they made plans to room together as fresh-men.

Once all four arrived at the

Students reflect on green progress

By MIMI ENSLEYTHE RED & BLACK

In January, University President Michael Adams stepped up to a podium in the historic North Campus chapel to deliver his annual State of the University address.

Looking out across the crowd, he saw the usual audience — faculty mem-bers, student government leaders, journalists — but toward the back of the room, a unique group of students packed four pews.

Some sported bright green T-shirts displaying the recycling symbol.

Others donned slacks and ties.

All represented environ-mental activism at the University.

And all were hoping to hear an announcement — an announcement that would mean the achieve-ment of a goal they had been working toward for years.

They waited as Adams moved through his speech, slowly articulating each phrase as he began high-lighting the achievements and goals of the University community.

They waited and they waited.

And finally, Adams uttered the phrases the rows of student environ-mentalists in attendance wanted to hear — the University would create an Office of Sustainability.

Sometimes what matters most is not what something says but rather how it’s said.

Lindsey Hudlow, a University senior studying graphic design, specializes in typography and hand-drawn letterforms, transforming the written word from mere func-tionality to artistic expression.

“Typography is the art of words” Hudlow said. “It’s almost like the clothes that words wear.”

Hudlow studies the impor-tance of type choice, or font design, in publications such as books, magazines, company logos and trademarks.

“The overall aim is to honor content,” Hudlow said. “One needs to select the most stylis-tically-appropriate font or let-tering so that you can aptly convey the feeling or image the author or company is looking for.”

She began in the graphic design major unsure of which avenue to pursue.

“I had an inkling that I wanted to do something in typography, but it wasn’t until I went to the graphic design exit show my freshman year that I knew for sure this was what I wanted to do,” she said.

One relatively unknown avenue in typography is the selection of font type for the text of books or magazines.

There are two basic typeface styles: serif and sans-serif.

“In most literature you typi-cally use some form of the serif typeface — it is more formal and easier for the eyes to read. It has a natural flow to it” Hudlow said.

However, harkening back to honoring content, a typogra-pher must decide what type-face best represents the aim and feeling of the text.

“Sans-serif typefaces have a cooler, more modern look,” Hudlow said. “So you may use that for a more business-like image — but in the end it is all about what fits best for the feeling of the content.”

Even as a student, Hudlow has already begun working in

the design field. Recently, she landed the job of designing the album art for Allie Moss, an indie-folk artist from New Jersey whose albums are dis-tributed through iTunes.

As far as her actual career path and ultimate area of interest, Hudlow is still open-minded and not decidedly set-tled one exclusive avenue.

“I’ve considered working in illustration design — books and magazines — or even ‘Identity’ [the look and feel of a company logo or trademark], but what I really would love to do is to work for a firm that covers a wide spectrum of design so that I could really hone my craft and find my niche,” Hudlow said.

Crime — the only thing not high on 4/20

One day in April has a reputation for illegal acts.

However, 4/20 has come and gone this year without any student arrests made by University Police.

“We understand the sig-nificance of that date,” Lt. Eric Dellinger said. “I don’t know if we expected more arrests. We wouldn’t have been surprised if there had been more, but it really hasn’t been that big of a deal on campus.”

Not only were no drug-related crimes reported, but Dellinger said all crime was below average.

“It’s nice to have slow days,” he said. “It gives us time to be proactive and form relationships with the community.”

CRIME NOTEBOOK

The ninth seat in the Supreme Court needs to be filled, and President Barack Obama may be looking no further than a University visiting professor.

Leah Ward Sears, a visit-ing professor in the School of Law, is among Obama’s choices to step in after Justice John Paul Stevens’ retirement.

On April 9, Stevens announced his retirement, which will take effect in June or July. This leaves

Obama the task of nomi-nating his second justice to the Supreme Court, with Sonia Sotomayor as his first.

The New York Times reported that Obama said he would only take into consideration a jus-tice “who knows that in a democracy, powerful interests must not be allowed to drown out the voices of ordinary citizens.”

From 1992 to 2009, Sears served on the

Georgia Supreme Court, and in her last four years, she held the position of

Chief Justice. She was the first

woman on the Georgia Supreme Court and also the youngest member in its history. In addition, she was the first African-American Chief Justice of any state high court.

“Throughout her career, she has always tried her best to excel and serve her state to the best of her

ability,” said Kimberly Bourroughs, chief of staff to Sears.

If chosen, Sears would make history as the first African-American woman on the court.

Since her retirement from the Georgia Supreme Court, Sears taught for an academic year at the University School of Law, where she led a seminar on contemporary family issues.

Sonja West, assistant University professor of law, said many considerations are taken when choosing a

Supreme Court justice. Some candidates have served on federal courts, while others have been in private practice. Still oth-ers are strictly academics, who have researched pub-lic policy and law exten-sively.

“There are models on the Supreme Court of these different types who have had strong successes on the court,” West said.

Once Obama chooses a candidate from his list of roughly 10 candidates, the nomination goes to the Senate for confirmation.

The Senate then holds hearings on the candidate before voting occurs.

Rebecca White, dean of the University School of Law, expects the confirma-tion process to be complete in the summer so the new Justice can start when the court begins its term in the fall.

“Former Chief Justice Sears is a strong candidate for a seat on the Court,” White told The Red & Black. “She knows how to work well with other jus-tices and how to build con-sensus when possible.”

Visiting professor up for Supreme Court job

Though the Board of Regents won’t make any decisions about tuition until May, the Regents approved the University’s request to establish three endowed pro-fessorships at the Board’s meet-ing Wednesday.

The Board approved the James and Marjorie Waggoner professor-ship in Small Animal Studies, the

Daniel P. Amos Distinguished Professorship in Insurance and the UGA Athletic Association Distinguished Professorship in Biological Sciences.

“The professorships come from private gifts,” said Tom Jackson, vice president for public affairs. “People give gifts to support vari-ous departments depending on their interests.”

Jackson said the University now relies more heavily on

endowed funds and private dona-tions after state support for high-er education has been declining.

“We will obviously have to rely on other sources of funding than state funding,” Jackson said.

The newly-established profes-sorships will help improve individ-ual programs at the University. Terry College, for instance, will grant the professorship to either a professor who has “an outstanding national reputation,” or the col-

lege will conduct a national search for a candidate who will be able to strengthen the insurance program at the school — and the way to do that is through endowed funds.

“If we had to only rely on state funds, we would not be able to attract the kind of people we are able to attract with endowed pro-fessorships,” Jackson said. “So it’s added value, and it increases the quality of what the institution offers to our students.”

No tuition talk, but Regents approve professorships

CORRECTIONSWednesday’s article

“System employees cash in on retirement,” about University System of Georgia employees accu-mulating unused vaca-tion time from year to year, needs clarification. Though some USG employees can be paid for unused leave time, this is not true for University faculty on aca-demic year contracts. The Red & Black regrets any confusion this article may have created.

What’s the buzz on North Campus? If you guessed power tools, you hit the nail on the head.

The University’s iconic archway is get-ting a landmark makeover, and students walking by in the next few days will notice the effort.

Beginning Wednesday morning, a team of the Physical Plant’s paint shop employ-ees started putting their tools to work, scraping away decades of accumulated paint and graffiti on the Arch.

Once the old coats have been lifted, the workers can get started on the prim-er.

While the primer dries, the Arch is going to look white for a few hours today, said Janine Duncan, the Physical Plant’s campus planning coordinator.

After that, the workers can put on a fresh coat of paint to complete the Arch’s transformation.

The project will last about four to five days, said Jeffrey Morris, one of the three Physical Plant employees who spent Wednesday morning with paint flecks on his face and a big job ahead of him.

“It’s not a one-man job,” Morris said. “You need two or three for safety.”

The Arch usually receives a new coat of paint every 12 to 18 months, but the stripping and repainting of the Arch is

the first of its kind in about 30 years, Duncan said.

The project has been on the Physical Plant’s queue for some time, but the pro-cess involves more than just having paint and painters on hand and ready to com-plete the task.

“The predominant thing was weather,” Duncan said. “You can’t paint cast iron in the cold.”

The repainting process was tentatively scheduled to begin on Tuesday morning, but the threat of rain pushed it back to Wednesday.

As for the cost of renovation, money was never an issue for the project, and Duncan described it as a low-cost, high-profile job.

The Physical Plant didn’t spend a sin-gle cent of student money on the repaint.

“The Arch has its own endowment account,” Duncan said. It has the distinc-tion of being one of the few structures on campus that doesn’t rely on student dol-lars.

Matthew Lewis, a biology major from Macon, has never paid much attention to the Arch, but the change might make him look at it in a different light.

“I’ll have to decide when I see it wheth-er or not it needs to be repainted,” he said.

New paint or no, Lewis does not plan on walking through the Arch any time soon. He’ll wait until graduation.

The students beamed with the news.

Today, as students celebrate Earth Day, the campus can look back at the history of environ-mental activism at the University and look forward to the future of the movement.

The Student Push

The push for more sustain-ability initiatives on campus has been years in the making, and students have been there from the beginning.

Lynne Sallot, a public rela-tions professor, knows this first-hand.

In 2006, Sallot decided her pub-lic relations campaigns classes would take on campus sustain-ability as a class project.

Her students researched sus-tainability issues, sponsored resi-dence hall recycling challenges and hosted Earth Day events.

They even helped form the Go Green Alliance, an organization supporting more than 25 envi-ronmental student groups.

However, in researching other universities, the public relations students found the University lacking in one area.

“So many of our peer and aspi-rational institutions who were, what seemed to be, further ahead of us on promoting sustainability initiatives on campus had an Office of Sustainability,” Sallot said. “So, my students over and over kept recommending that the University do this.”

But the student push for envi-ronmental action went beyond class assignments.

Independently, passionate students also spent countless hours working on environmental initiatives.

After rallying campus support for a $3 student fee to fund cam-pus green efforts, environmental-ly-focused student leaders began to draft plans for an Office of

Sustainability and push the fee approval through the various lev-els of campus administration.

But it wasn’t easy.The students involved had to

re-think their approach to envi-ronmentalism, focusing more on concrete goals and business suits and less on abstract idealism.

“We have really tried to maintain a very professional visage,” said Mark Milby, co-president of the Go Green Alliance. “I know this sounds silly, but you can’t talk about environmental issues with administrators and policymakers if you smell and you’ve got dreads. They just don’t listen.”

Nevertheless, Milby and his fellow students maintained the underlying passion of the move-ment, a movement he has since seen blossom.

“Now, there’s hundreds, if not thousands, of students interested in sustainability to the point where they’re willing to participate in a club, change their daily lives around,” he said. “I don’t know why it’s happened, but it has.”

Looking Ahead

The director of the Office of Sustainability — Kevin Kirsche — began his duties in February, and since that time, the office has drafted a strategic plan of its overarching goals for the future.

More immediately, the office, located in the Physical Plant, has drafted several initiatives for the summer months, including a green computing program, which would shut down the Miller Learning Center computers nightly, and a food composting partnership with Food Services and the Physical Plant.

As for the students, achieving the Office of Sustainability was a major step, and their role in cam-

pus sustainability will shift.Calley Mersmann, a junior

ecology major from Snellville, said she hopes for a changing student role in the green move-ment, a role less driven by admin-istrative tasks and more focused on getting people involved.

“That could be another func-tion of the Go Green Alliance or something like that going into the future,” she said. “That we really reach out to students and plug them in in a way that, since we’ve been focused on the admin-istration and getting things through in the past, we haven’t been able to do.”

And Milby is confident that the students on campus will keep up the passion even after he graduates in May.

“I’m one of the only people — it’s just like me and a few other people — who are graduating, and the rest are just pulsing with this vibe, hundreds of students,” Milby said. “It really brings out the crazy activist in me.”

PICK OF THE WEEK: 31st Annual Athens Twilight Criterium

It’s that time of the year again — and no, Athens’ Twilight festival has nothing to do with vampires, werewolves and forbidden love. In fact, Athens Twilight predates the tiresome teenage trend by almost 30 years.

Twilight is a professional cycling event for residents of Athens-Clarke County to come and show their support to athletes from around the world. Second only to University football games, it’s the largest event in the city, showcasing specialty shop-ping, music, live entertainment and a chance to meet professional cyclists before they race to the finish. The University of Georgia School of Music will also present its Jazz Festival during the festivities.

More than 150 cyclists competing in an 80 km race for men and 40 km race for women will be too tired to stand by the end of the night, so come out and celebrate Athens’ history. Attending is like riding a bike — you’ll never forget.

In regard to the article “Cohort program elicits differing views in Terry” (April 20) by Michael Prochaska: I believe, as a Terry major, that this new system will do nothing to help my fellow business students.

It is laughable to believe that being stuck with the same 300 students will magically translate to additional networking opportunities.

In fact, the opposite is true.

Forcing students to be in the same classes with all peers of the same major restricts them from net-working with students of other majors.

For example, as a finance major, I will not be able to take any classes with management infor-mation systems majors. Artificially limiting the pool is, in fact, countering the purpose of networking, which is to meet as many people as you can.

The dean’s plan to put classes on Mondays and Wednesdays for 75 minutes is devastating to students wishing to double major or take honors classes. If you are a double major, you are effectively punished when it is time to put your schedule together.

The bottom line is that this new system is a poor solution to a problem that does not exist. If Terry College cares about its students, they will back off this plan as quickly as possible.

Employees deservepaid vacation time

I happened to glance at the front page of The Red & Black and the article “System employees cash in on retirement” (April 21) by Polina Marinova caught my eye.

I understand students’ frustration with cuts to education, and serious cuts to the operations of the University of Georgia.

These are tough times. However, I think stu-

dents will feel very differ-ently after they have their first salaried job after graduating. Employees of a corporation, a non-profit or of the University of Georgia earn their vaca-tion days.

I work in the non-profit industry, and when I left my first salaried position, the two weeks of vacation I hadn’t used paid for my move back to Georgia and helped ensure that I would have some funds between leaving my old position and starting my new job here in Athens.

Many University workers and other state employees don’t make nearly the same salaries as people in the private sec-tor.

And after years of hard work and earning these vacation days, it’s com-pletely fair and appropri-ate that employees receive compensation for remain-ing vacation days.

Consider the following sce-nario:

You are in position to be the next prince of a modest, but sizeable kingdom. What you lack in numbers you make up for in fierce loyalty from your followers.

Say you have been instructed by your higher-up — the king, the man who really controls the king-dom — to stay out of trouble and be true to the codes of the kingdom or you will suffer dire consequences. You decide to eschew the warn-ings of your superior, and break the rules. Your position as next ruler is lost, along with the respect of your followers, and you soon fade into oblivion.

Insert UGA football fans as the kingdom, Mark Richt for the king, and you have a fair representation of fallen prince Zack Mettenberger’s current situation.

As most know, Mettenberger was dismissed from the team after it was made known that he violated team rules and possibly on more than one occasion. Mettenberger was in line for the 2010 starting quarterback position.

What could have possibly pos-sessed him to violate direct orders from his coach in favor of childish activities, I will never know. But this just shows the level of disre-

spect some student athletes — especially football players — have for their position at the University.

Most are under massive scholar-ships, and are able to attend UGA for very little. Their scholarship is dependent on following guidelines set by their team. Just as I work hard to keep a B average for the HOPE scholarship, I should expect the same dedication from athletes.

Practice takes up a lot of ath-lete’s time, so they are given extra perks like a state-of-the-art training facility separate from the “regu-lar” student gym, and an exclusive studying center where they are given access to tutors and other academic resources.

I am certainly not anti-football. I am a huge sports fan, and the dominance of UGA athletics was a major factor in my college decision. I have attended almost every foot-ball game my four years here, and my closet has a disproportionate amount of red and black clothing.

I am also aware of the mil-lions of dollars that the Athletics

Association brings to the University, both directly and indi-rectly, and I respect the long-stand-ing traditions of the football team.

So I understand why these ath-letes are given special treatment; they hold a vital position in our uni-versity, one that is not easy to fill. They represent years of tradition and are often the face of our school. The special treatment is often justi-fied and necessary to allow these players to fulfill both their academic and athletic duties.

But I simply cannot under-stand why — after being given privilege after privilege after privilege — these athletes still continue to break rules and get themselves in trouble. Behavior like Mettenberger’s is unforgiveable after the support he receives from the University and football fans as a whole.

This behavior shows a terrible ungratefulness of the benefits that have been bestowed upon athletes, and makes me almost want to burn the red and black in my closet.

I hope that in time these ath-letes will adhere to the moral code expected of them, and stop bringing shame to the Bulldog nation.

Opinions

Ask anybody at the University what the best spot on cam-pus is and, almost unequivo-

cally, the answer is North Campus. It is a place of connection and gathering where the University seamlessly weaves into the fabric of downtown.

On any pleasant day, students congregate on North Campus for picnics, to play Frisbee and other social interactions. It’s a place where people enjoy lingering. North Campus is inviting because it was designed to be so.

As the historic center of the University, it was designed at a smaller, more intimate human scale in an era long before cars. Aside from the occasional Physical Plant truck on Herty Drive, cars are large-ly and conspicuously absent.

Take a moment to compare North Campus with the envi-ronment of East Campus, built largely in the last decade. While North Campus is absent of cars, they define East Campus. College Station Road, East Campus Road, and “The Loop” expressway serve as East Campus’ borders.

All of these asphalt deserts are wide, barren and unattractive, to say the least. They are all danger-ous barriers to pedestrian traffic — except the Loop, where pedestrians are banned outright. The interior of East Campus is barely more inviting than its peripherals.

Roads and parking lots take up a vast amount of available space, dissecting the environment and alienating the pedestrian. Additionally, Ramsey, ECV and the dining commons are designed to the scale of the automobile, rather than the human. For every available measure — save perhaps the virtu-ally completely ignored low speed limits — the environment of East

Campus is far more welcoming to the motorist than the pedestrian.

Despite millions of dollars worth of massive architecture, beautiful landscaping, extensive engineering and planning, the area as a whole is uninviting. This is evidenced if you notice how few people linger outside at East Campus compared with other areas.

It seems that whenever people are outside, they are merely trans-ferring from one giant parking lot to one massive structure, or vice versa. This phenomenon can be noticed anytime after the dining commons closes.

It seems as if the sidewalks themselves have been rolled up, and human inhabitants have whole-heartedly surrendered to head beams and brake lights. To a for-eign observer, East Campus could easily pass for a 9-to-5 suburban office park.

We do not have to live in such environments. The great thing about the built environment is that it can be whatever we want it to be. This statement holds true whether the example is East Campus, a nameless suburban sprawl of Metro Atlanta or a central city abandoned

for surface parking. The defining struggle of the com-

ing century will be the redesigning of our country away from the car-centered model of the past 60 years.

We have abandoned the designs of places like North Campus in favor of places like East Campus — inhuman environments where the needs of automobile are paramount. It’s undeniable that this will have to change, but we should not view this massive undertaking cynically.

Though doomsday peak-oil and climate catastrophist types attempt to scare people into change with a “do this or else!” mentality, this is not the best way of encouraging a better environment. In reality, rede-signing America presents one of the greatest opportunities our country has ever seen.

Redesigning our environment gives us the opportunity to live bet-ter, smarter, healthier and more efficiently. If we commit ourselves to a better environment, we will all benefit. The movement to redesign America will start at places like the University.

However, the future will require far bolder and more innovative moves. Imagine, for example, if the University eliminated all surface parking lots. Imagine if Sanford Drive were turned into a pedestrian mall, with electric streetcars instead of particulate-spewing diesel bus-ses. Imagine a car-free campus.

These are not pie-in-the-sky ideas. This is the kind of thinking will be required of our generation if we intend for America to remain dominant in the 21st century. The green revolution begins here. If we want it, it can happen.

Homeless people are bums — they are either mentally

disabled, lazy drunks or addicts who are unwilling to work.

Unfortunately, this is a stereotype that many UGA students believe to be at least partially true due to the stigmas surrounding homelessness. Athens-Clarke County’s poverty rate is the fifth-highest in the nation, and University students are doing rela-tively nothing to improve the situation.

Most students spend enough time in downtown Athens to notice the prev-alence of homeless individ-uals. These students could help or seek out organiza-tions that fight homeless-ness in Athens. Instead, many of these students choose to walk by or make assumptions about how these individuals came to be in such a dire state.

In actuality, 65 per-cent of the families that are living in poverty in Athens are working. Due to the economic recession, employment opportuni-ties are eroding. This often leads to foreclosures on the homes of even hard-working people. The reces-sion also unfortunately means fewer public assis-tance programs.

There is no lack of phil-anthropic activity on our campus. HEROs, ugaMir-acle and Relay for Life all attract thousands of stu-dents each year and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Though these philan-thropies are worthwhile, the money raised goes to

large national organiza-tions. Ultimately, Athens’ population may see little of this money.

There are more than 26,000 Athens-Clarke County residents living in poverty, and our student population is not doing much to help improve the livelihood of residents in our immediate community. Driving down Milledge on a nice spring day, it is easy to forget the terrible living conditions of our local resi-dents just one block away.

It is time for the UGA community to take action, and recently the Host. Nourish. Sustain. Movement suggested a plan for decreasing home-lessness in Athens.

There will be a meeting at the Center for Student Organization’s office on the first floor of Tate today at 5 p.m. for students who are interested in learn-ing how to fight this local issue.

With so many non-profit organizations in Athens dedicated to helping the homeless, getting involved in our community is simple. Homelessness and poverty are issues that we can fight, and as a student body, we must combine our resources to eliminate these problems.

VARIETY The Red & Black | Thursday, April 22, 2010 | 7

“Shame, Shame” marks the beginning of psyche-delic rock quintet Dr. Dog’s second decade as a band. It also shows the Philadelphia-based band still knows its strengths — lush, ’60s-esque pop songs — and still plays to them.This doesn’t mean Dr. Dog has stayed the same, as the band has continued to find ways to evolve its sound without ever stray-ing from its classic pop sensibilities.

“Shame, Shame” peels away the overblown pro-duction of 2008’s “Fate,” largely because the songs themselves are stronger this time around.

Make no mistake, this is still vintage Dr. Dog — upbeat, laden with catchy melodies and awash in breezy vocal harmonies. Cuts such as “Shadow People” reinforce Dr. Dog’s consistency as pop song-writers.

Despite retaining the band’s signature elements, there is a noticeable som-ber streak that flows through the album.

The country-esque “Station,” slow-burning title track and deceptively jaunty “Unbearable Why” all exude a fatigued atmo-sphere. “Someday,” in par-ticular, is so morose in tone that the upbeat synth melody that closes the track almost sounds like a sardonic taunt.

On the other hand, there are songs that prac-tically rock, rougher around the edges than most of Dr. Dog’s previous work. “Where’d All the Time Go?” starts solemnly but eventually builds to a fever pitch.

The bouncy, Spoon-esque “Later” features vocalist/bassist Toby Leaman’s grittiest perfor-mance, and vocalist/guitar-ist Scott McMicken’s impassioned delivery, along with a lithe guitar riff, propels “Mirror, Mirror” to highlight status.

VERDICT: “Shame, Shame” is a testament to both Dr. Dog’s consistency and personal evolution.

The band arguably sounds more comfortable here than they ever have before, and if “Shame, Shame” is any indication of what’s to come, Dr. Dog may have finally tapped into its full potential.

— John Barrett

listen up!

With MTV now focusing on dating shows and pimping cars, it would appear that ’90s influ-enced pop-punk is surely dead — however, it was very much alive in Athens Tuesday night as Motion City Soundtrack and guests fun. and A Rocket to the Moon took the stage by storm at the 40 Watt Club.

Underneath glowing streamed lights of red, blue and green, fans from all backgrounds eagerly awaited a night of music. Guys in plaid shirts were in abundance, as expect-ed.

But an unusual amount of girls in fancy dresses were dancing and cheering alongside guys with gaug-es and lip rings, proving the bond of music can sur-pass outward stereotypes.

First to take the stage was Minnesota band Sing Aloud, whose blend of poppy, heart-driven lyrics sounded similar to rising rockers Mayday Parade.

The lead singer’s long blonde hair was well received from front-row girls singing in awe, and the band played a solid set while the 40 Watt’s capacity continued to fill.

Up next wasA Rocket to the Moon. A first glimpse of the band might yield some comparison to the Jonas Brothers — the bass player wore a pink polo with a black tie, and each appeared to have at least two hours and a can of hair spray invested into their hair.

The major turn-off for their set was from their

song “Give a Damn” in which they sang: “But she doesn’t know who I am / And she doesn’t give a damn.”

Oddly enough, these lines, sang and performed in almost the exact same manner, can be found in Wheatus’ 2000 hit “Teenage Dirtbag” from the movie “Loser.”

As the night progressed — and crushed PBR cans slowly filled the floor — the third band, fun., began to quietly set the stage until a crescendo of chant-ing “fun! fun! fun!” erupt-ed from the crowd, bring-ing smiles to each member of the band. Smiling would become the theme of their set.

Fronted by Nate Reuss of The Format, fun.’s unique blend of indie pow-er-pop took hold of the 40 Watt and refused to let go.

“I don’t know if we’ve ever been as excited to

play a show as we are tonight,” Reuss said to the audience.

After their opening song “Walking the Dog” was finished, the crowed exploded with cheers and screaming. My ears have never hurt that bad — a true sign of a song well done.

With a warm, genuine smile, Reuss stood com-pletely humbled before the crowd.

The amount of energy radiating towards fun. was unlike any I’ve ever seen at a concert.

Each time he attempt-ed to speak, Reus was cut off with an explosion of cheers. It was obvious from reading his face — this guy may have toured the country with Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday at venue’s 50 times bigger than the 40 Watt, but never was he greeted by so much genu-

ine applause.Fun. played through

several of their bigger hits, including “All The Pretty Girls,” before Reuss attempted to quiet the room so the band could play their softer song, “The Gambler,” about Reuss’ parents.

“I have to get this smile off my face,” Reuss said. “I have to stand my ground and let you know that what I’m singing is very serious.”

Fifteen minutes and a mind-blowing set later, fun. left the stage to all of The 40 Watt chanting “One more song!” Unfortunately, the band was unable to do so.

When Motion City Soundtrack took the stage, it was obvious the veterans had arrived.

Opening with “Worker Bee,” the band played sev-eral songs back to back before finally acknowledg-

ing the building momen-tum in the room.

A mosh pit was gaining popularity in the center of the crowd as people stood on their toes to watch the pushing and shoving.

Vocalist Justin Pierre — in his signature black glasses — stood as a sea-soned professional on stage, playing pop-punk like I haven’t heard since I was in elementary school.

Each song MCS played was sung back to them in a fury. The crowd was indeed on in Athens.

“You are such beautiful human beings,” Pierre sang in an impromptu song with bassist Matt Taylor. The two looked to be having genuine fun.

“I’m stupid, but I don’t care,” Pierre shouted before laughing. “I’ll just be stupid on stage. Why change after so many years?”

The highlight of the set was “Last Night,” as Pierre and the gang sin-gle-handedly filled the room with all of the ener-gy that accumulated throughout the night and then some.

It was this song that truly separated them from all the other bands — the difference between profes-sionals and amateurs.

As the night came to an end, and Pierre wiped the sweat from his forehead and signature crazy black hair, he thanked the audi-ence and each of the pre-vious bands.

“Fun. are America’s cupcakes, because they’re so damn delicious,” said Pierre. “We’re America’s spatulas. Don’t ask — it just came out.”

Motion City Soundtrack, which played at the 40 Watt Tuesday night, brought pop-punk bands fun. and A Rocket to the Moon with them.

What makes Venice is Sinking such a special band has always been the group’s ability to effort-lessly resist being pigeon-holed into any one genre.

“Sand and Lines” is that rare album whose eccen-tricity and fearless stylistic breadth transcend any artistic insecurity and reach that line in the sand between challenge and reward.

Recorded in 2008 in the Georgia Theatre, the album captures the band’s eerie spaciousness in a set-ting that allows the sound to swell and expand like it never has on tape before.

With no over-dubs, the songs were all recorded live in one take with only two mics.

The production here is so stripped down that it almost gives the album an experimental feel, with the atmospherics working some magic on the band’s already spacious sound.

The album features cov-ers by artists as diverse as Dolly Parton (“Jolene”) and Galaxy 500 (“Tugboat”). Elsewhere the strained vocals of “Bardstown Road” punc-tuated by jolly sleigh bells gives way to album stand-out “Pebble Hill.”

VERDICT: If there is one nitpick, “Sand and Lines” can definitely be a downer. Cold, weary and depressing, “Sand and Lines” may not be a sum-mertime pick-me-up, but what it lacks in warmth it more than makes up for in feeling.

8 | Thursday, April 22, 2010 | The Red & Black VARIETY

By ADAM CARLSONTHE RED & BLACK

The Automotive Club is making a name for itself the old-fashioned way — by having really big, shiny things to show off.

Begun last November, the club is new enough to not have yet established themselves with a major event. So, as Earth Day approached, inspiration struck.

“One idea we had was we could do a car show,” said Muhammad Ali, the club’s vice-president. “And we were think-ing that we should have [it] at least once and that it should have some relevance for the student body.”

The group decided on doing a display of the latest hybrid cars as the best solution. As they were only allowed to pick two vehicles, the club has cho-sen a new domestic model from Ford and a foreign model from Toyota to show off.

In order to put together the event, the club had to reach out to local dealerships, who react-ed enthusiastically to the pro-posed display. So, along with

the vehicles, sales representa-tives from Ford and Toyota will be present to explain the fea-tures of each car.

The Automotive Club brought them along not for a sales pitch, but to have the most knowledgeable people on hand. The info about the hybrid cars that they have to share is one of the main reasons the club ultimately decided to focus on more eco-friendly products, not gas guzzlers.

“What we want to show peo-ple is that there are other hybrids,” said John Vu, the club’s president. “We want to provoke interest in hybrid tech-nology because our generation is the one that has the ability to change and make the green movement possible.”

Motivating people wasn’t always their original goal, but with the display falling on Earth Day it seemed a natural progression, Vu said.

Further, they’ll also be work-ing with 15 other student groups to promote the variety of other events happening around campus.

As a small group of eight

active members, the Automotive Club also hopes to use its event as a platform for wider publicity. Their message: automotive club isn’t just for gearheads, but rather for any-one curious to learn a little more about what’s under the hood.

“A lot of people are into cars, but there really isn’t anything around the University,” Ali said. “[It’s so] people can get a taste of what’s out there.”

The hybrid car display is just as inclusive: a chance for people to get a little information or a lot, depending on their prefer-ence.

“The goal is to just let peo-ple know what’s going on,” Ali said. “Anybody on campus real-ly who has interest or wants to check the cars out, [we’re] pro-viding an avenue.”

Auto Club brings in eco car-candy

By JOHN BARRETTTHE RED & BLACK

“Going green” has become one of the ultimate buzz phrases of the past 10 years, and to further help raise awareness of Earth’s fragile ecosystem — and just in time for Earth Day — New Earth Music Hall is unveiling its most monumental production yet.

It’s called the New Earth Day Festival, and it spans tonight through Saturday night at the venue. The event encapsulates more than 30 bands and DJs from all over the world on two stages in addition to artists, vendors and restaurants who share a similar sustainable mindset.

Despite New Earth’s relatively recent emergence as a local music hub, Adrian Zelski, whose passion for addressing environmental issues in a proactive way provided the brainchild for the weekend-long fes-tival, is at its helm.

“It’s a party with a purpose,” Zelski said.

He cited New Earth’s plan to apply eco-friendly elements to the festival, including switching to corn-made cups to reduce waste and sell-ing locally-grown, organic food.

“This event is the coming of age for our eco-message,” Zelski said, who expressed his desire to turn the festival into an annual event. “We’ll put on multi-dimensional shows from here on out. We hope to draw in plenty of open-minded individuals from all types of communities. We don’t want to be branded.”

The full musical bill seems to

reinforce Zelski’s aspirations, featur-ing a heterogeneous blend of artists that span multiple music scenes.

It prominently highlights world music, including Thursday night performances by reggae outfit Midnite and African singer/guitarist Vieux Farka Touré — not to mention a special collaborative performance between Zelski’s own reggae group Dubconscious and Tel Aviv-based reggae/dancehall duo Axum on Friday night.

“It’s the same kind of music,” said Gilor “Jackson” Yehuda, one of Axum’s two emcees, who describes the collaboration as “magic.” “They play reggae, we play reggae. We bring a little dancehall — something that they don’t — but they are pro-fessionals and they provide the dynamic we’re looking for.”

Friday night’s lineup boasts a variety of psychedelic electronic music styles, namely electro artist Eliot Lipp and rising “chillwave” star Toro y Moi.

“I’m sort of into my music being juxtaposed in a way,” said Chazwick Bundick, the man behind Toro y Moi. “I like minimalist approaches, but I also like complexity, and I like how house music can work that way. In a way, I appreciate the repetition and the simplicity of it, but I also like its juxtaposition of samples that are very complex and textured.”

For fans of classic rock, Saturday night will deliver big with a two-set performance from Athens’ very own supergroup Pigs on the Wing — fea-turing STS9’s David Murphy — whose resemblance to the legendary rock-god Pink Floyd is nothing short of uncanny.

“This band is about cranking up some ’70s amps and really recreating the sounds of Pink Floyd authenti-cally,” vocalist/guitarist Timi Conley said.

Conley is also a member of the local Beatles tribute band Abbey Road Live, and his experiences in each brings an interesting musical contrast to light.

“The Beatles were so much about songwriting that you can play the tunes and people will love it even if it doesn’t sound exactly like The Beatles,” Conley said. “But the thing about Pink Floyd, which is such a contrast, is that they were all about the tone. I think they were produc-ers of tone more so than songs. Even though they had songs, they were more focused on creating tones that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up.”

As the name implies to any seri-ous Pink Floyd fan, Pigs on the Wing will place extra emphasis on the Floyd’s oft-overlooked classic album “Animals.”

“‘Animals,’ as an album, tends to kind of take a backseat to ‘The Wall’ and ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ and even ‘Wish You Were Here,’” Conley said. “It seems like with ‘Dark Side’ having been so played and so famous, maybe there was a con-scious decision to focus on their other material.”

Other entertainment, aside from the music, will include — but is not limited to — tai chi, break dancing and a drum circle.

But those anxious to know every-thing that’s in store for the weekend will simply have to find out for them-selves.

Earth Day inspires eco-friendly music festival

By ADAM CARLSONTHE RED & BLACK

Save some gas, spare the envi-ronment and bike — or walk, or ride — to class. Just don’t drive.

That’s the message Odum School of Ecology, Go Green Alliance and Students for Environmental Action want to impart through Car-Free Day.

Through the activities of the day, the environmental groups plan to organize commuter orga-nizations around campus and inform students about other ways to conduct their daily com-mute.

“We’re encouraging people to use alternative forms of trans-portation and give them the opportunity to try it out and learn more about other ways of commuting,” said Tyra Byers, sustainability coordinator for the Odum School of Ecology.

With a home base at the Memorial Hall Plaza, Byers will be coordinating group meetings on the Eastside and at Five Points for students, faculty and staff to commute together to campus — one of which will be led by the director of the Office of Sustainability, Kevin Kirsche.

Other activities the group is planning include a free bike check — courtesy of Sunshine Cycles and Ben’s Bikes — and free food, drinks and prizes.

In addition, the first 150 peo-ple to show-up at the Memorial Hall table will receive a $5 gift card to Kinnucan’s.

But encouraging people to go car-free for a day is only where Byers is starting.

By making pamphlets and providing other information about the University bus system, Athens Transit and convenient bike routes, Byers hopes to give people a quick education in the value of alternative transporta-tion.

“I hope [people] learn the options are out there and they are easy to use,” said Calley

Mershmann, a junior majoring in ecology and Byers’ undergradu-ate intern.

Among some of the tips Byers will be passing around are the facts about the rewards offered to those who commute by the Clean Air Campaign.

She’ll also spread the word on the allotments set aside by the University for those who commit to using alternative methods of commuting, which include 22 days of free parking for bad weather.

Though Byers acknowledges the reservations some people have in braving the campus streets on two-wheels, she’s also points out that biking has its own pluses.

“[The University] is spread-out, but it’s also a place where the weather is nice,” she said. “Sometime it’s easier to get around on a bike.”

As people ride or pedal into campus, there will be a sign-up sheet where commuters can list their mode of transportation and how far they rode in from.

This way, Byers said, she can add up the total number of miles saved in car travel and better understand people’s preferred modes of alternative commuting.

In preparing the event, though, the main goal has been providing people with the facts about how to get where they’re going without driving.

Education — the organizers believe — will help change peo-ple’s minds.

“I hope people become more familiar with it [during the day] and get over their fears,” Mershmann said. “I hope we can take away some of the mystery of it.

The Japanese puzzle Sudoku relies on reason-ing and logic.

To solve it, fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3 by 3 box contains the digits 1 through 9.

Nothing has to add up to anything else.

Previous puzzle’s solution

From Page 1

University in spring of 2007 (Hill and Hunt began school first in the fall of 2006), they spent a majori-ty of their time together.

Hill, Hunt and Schnugg lived in a suite a few doors down from Vitulli at East Campus Village. The next year, a similar arrangement continued with the four either living with or next door to one another. Hunt and Vitulli still share an apartment as seniors.

“I hear a lot of other people on sports teams say they don’t like to live with their teammates because they see each other all the time, and they get sick of each other,” Schnugg said. “I’ve never felt that way with these guys. Four hours a day with these guys is not nearly enough, it’s weird.”

Living and playing together forced the four teammates to understand and deal with one anoth-er’s quirks, individual traits and different behaviors. Time helped in this process according to Schnugg, who feels each captain’s indi-viduality is an attribute for the team.

“We all know who we are and we all compliment each

other well. We all have such different personalities yet are driven toward the same goal,” Schnugg said. “If we ever need to approach something with the team, one of us feels good doing it. We’re comfortable doing different things and we’ve never had something come up where one of us couldn’t handle it.”

Each labeled Hill as the team’s peacemaker, citing this role as a distinct con-tribution. Schnugg por-trayed him as a loyal friend, who underclassmen turn to for guidance because Hill, “already has everything fig-ured out.”

“[Hill is] kind of like a big brother to me,” Hunt said. “Even when we first got to school, he helped me out with parking and stuff, figuring stuff out about school. He was always someone I could look up to and turn to for advice.”

Hill competes the least out of the four; he earned his first outdoor dual match win ever this season. He is the only captain who will graduate this spring, after making the SEC Academic Honor Roll last season.

Hill, Hunt and Schnugg agree that Vitulli is the most laid-back member of

the team. They described a quiet, composed player who leads by example, win-ning 12-straight singles matches earlier this sea-son. Hunt said Vitulli acts like he is at the beach every day, a relaxed figure who gives stability in the team’s frenzied atmosphere.

While Vitulli remains collected on the court, calmly analyzing his oppo-nents, Hunt finds it hard to keep his energy contained.

Schnugg compares him to “Tigger”, the bouncing Winnie the Pooh character. During their time living together, Hunt was the tar-get of many of Schnugg’s practical jokes, which Schnuug said Hunt took in stride.

According to Vitulli, Hunt is friendly and funny, but ferocious on the court. Hunt and Hill said they fill the role of the loud motiva-tors during matches. Hill screams from the bleach-ers, while Hunt fist-pumps from court three.

Hunt said Schnugg’s competitiveness sets the tone for the team on court one. Schnugg’s desire to win at everything — Hill includes Scrabble — helps to characterize the senior.

Vitulli initially disliked

Schnugg, put off by his, at times, overwhelming confi-dence. The friendship evolved in spite of this first impression, something Hill has seen many times hap-pen with Schnugg.

“He’s definitely an icon,” Hill said. “He has a domi-nant personality, but he’s a softie on the inside, really. Once you get to know him, you understand him. He’s got a deeper side.”

Schnugg feels the four seniors and their strong personalities, which inter-act with one another daily, have grown more manage-able during their collegiate career. Being captains this season drove each to com-promise and to become more unified, according to Schnugg.

“We have six other guys watching us, watching what we do, and so we’ve grown used to doing the right things,” Schnugg said. “We’ve grown used to han-dling our personalities and setting a good example. That’s helped us grow clos-er as seniors.”

Hill hopes they are remembered as a unified, successful class. Schnugg feels their greatest legacy would be strong leadership, and hopefully, a third

national championship.Hill plans to travel this

summer, before taking his real estate licensure exams. Hunt, Schnugg and Vitulli will continue with school in the fall, with tennis taking a backseat. After four years of collegiate competition, none are sick of the game though.

“I’m actually getting more excited about tennis,” Schnugg said. “This is the most exciting time of tennis that any of us ever have.”

The postseason looms large for the four friends,

with the Bulldogs compet-ing for an SEC champion-ship this weekend.

All nine players will trav-el to the tournament on what could be their last sleeper bus ride as a team. Hunt and Schnugg will room together like they have for every road match, and strive together for a perfect record during the end of their collegiate ten-nis careers.

“This is go time,” Hunt said. “We want to win out. No more losses from this point on.”

Courtney McCool felt ashamed of her-

self. She didn’t feel proud.Preparing for NCAA Gymnastics

Championships — which begin today at the Stephen O’Connell Center in Gainesville, Fla. — as an individual on the floor exercise and balance beam felt for-eign to her.

“Doing gymnastics alone is really inter-esting after doing the same thing with your teammates every day for four years,” the senior said. “And it was really hard to embrace.”

For the week following the Gym Dogs’ failure to qualify for Nationals on April 10, the emotions swirling through McCool’s head were not the positive ones she had grown accustomed to.

There was the anger — aimed mostly at herself — and denial that her team wouldn’t accompany her to Gainesville.

“It was hard getting used to not being good enough on the day we needed to be,” McCool said.

As the days past, she turned a corner in her mindset. She stopped being angry at herself — “I had no reason to be,” she said — and embraced the opportunity to compete in one final meet as a Georgia Gym Dog.

“I’m excited to embrace the opportuni-

ties I have this weekend and to go blow up my two events. I’m excited that I have four more chances to show the country my stuff again and show everyone what this team is about. It’s a great opportuni-ty and I’m very excited and proud to be a part of this program for one more week.”

Winning two national titles would be great, McCool admitted, but her lone goal this weekend is too represent her 13 team-mates forced to stay behind in Athens.

“I don’t have anything to prove to any-one,” she said. “It’s all for my team and to represent my sisters out there. I’m com-peting for them. For me, this is all fluff.

When I’m out there I’m going to be radiating that Georgia is still here and that you can’t keep us out of nationals. We are here and nothing you can do will keep us out of nation-als.”

Junior Hilary Mauro has been by McCool’s side everyday in practice help-ing her to prepare.

“I felt it was important for her to have someone by her side through this because it’s not the most comfortable situation,” Mauro said. “She has been such an inspiration to me that just to be with her and to feel like I am a part of her success makes me feel good and makes her feel good.

“We all know we are still Georgia and are still a great team. We are still the five-time defending national champions. Yes, this year was a tough year, but for her to go out there and show what Georgia can do helps us all.”

The first time Taylor Schlopy stepped up to the plate, she put her No. 10 Georgia softball team (37-8) on the score-board.

The junior cracked a home run to start off the scor-ing in the Bulldogs’ 6-3 win over No. 6 Georgia Tech Wednesday night.

Schlopy’s home run set the tone for the first two innings, where the Bulldogs scored three runs. After Alisa Goler drove in Megan Wiggins for the team’s second run in the first inning, Jennie Auger scored after an Ashley Pauly fly-out to right field in the second inning.

“I think our hit-ting was great,” Schlopy said. “We came out hacking, doing everything we’d been working on: peo-ple going after their first pitch, going deep in the count, battling with two strikes. I couldn’t be more proud of our hitters.”

Momentum shifted in the fourth inning, with the

Yellow Jackets (41-7) answering to the Georgia offense by scoring three runs. Pitcher Erin Arevalo went through nine hitters, striking out one and walk-ing three. Georgia Tech’s

Jessica Sinclair hit a home run during the fourth at-bat of the inning, allowing herself — along with Kristine Priebe and designated runner Kelly Delashmit — to round the bases and tie the game.

Despite the set-back, the Bulldogs matched each of Georgia Tech’s runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Brianna Hesson’s triple brought Schlopy and Wiggins for each of their second runs of the night.

Erin Arevalo pro-vided strong pitch-ing through all seven innings with

six strikeouts, helping to keep the Yellow Jackets at bay until the fourth inning.

She felt confident after her performance against Auburn Sunday — when she allowed only four hits — and tried to carry that energy into Wednesday’s game.

Schlopy and Arevalo attribute their success to their teammates and their collective work against Georgia Tech.

“[We won by] banding together and fighting as a team,” Schlopy said. “Our motto this year is being a stone wall and I really think that we did that. It takes every individual coming together for us to succeed, and that’s what we did today.”

The Bulldogs shut out Georgia Tech for the last three innings, allowing a top of the seventh inning finish. Beating the Yellow Jackets spoke volumes of the Bulldogs’ potential for the postseason.

“I think [this win] shows everybody that we haven’t disappeared. We had our funk or whatever, but we’re getting better every single game we come out and play,” Arevalo said. “I think we’re right where we need to be, as long as we get 1 percent better every time we come out, every time we practice, we should be right where we want to be for the SEC tournament.”

Peter Verdin (16) scored the Diamond Dogs’ fourth run of the game after a Levi Hyams double in the sixth inning.

By DREW KANNTHE RED & BLACK

It has been awhile since the Diamond Dogs have earned a midweek victory.

Nearly two months to be exact, since the team’s home opener, an 11-3 vic-tory over Presbyterian on Feb. 24.

Perhaps that explains why Wednesday night’s starting pitcher, left-hand-er Chase Hawkins, had trouble remembering how a midweek victory felt fol-lowing the Bulldogs 4-2 win over the Winthrop Eagles (18-18) Wednesday night at Foley Field.

“I don’t really remem-ber,” said Hawkins. “It’s been awhile, so it felt good to actually get a win.”

The Bulldogs (12-25, 3-12 SEC) wasted no time jumping on the scoreboard in Wednesday night’s win, which also put an end to the team’s four-game los-ing streak.

Right fielder Peter Verdin smacked a leadoff double to start the Bulldog first, before crossing home from third on a sacrifice fly by center fielder Zach Cone that gave Georgia the early 1-0 lead.

Georgia responded promptly to a Winthrop

run in the top of the sec-ond with two more runs in the bottom of the inning.

Shortstop Kyle Farmer sparked the Bulldog rally with a leadoff triple to the left field corner.

Designated hitter Christian Glisson’s RBI single to left scored Farmer, before left fielder Johnathan Taylor extend-ed the Bulldog lead to 3-1 with a two-out single to left that brought Glisson home from second.

Freshman right-hander Malcolm Clapsaddle replaced Hawkins in the fourth, making his first appearance since March 19 after being sidelined with elbow tendonitis.

After hitting the first batter he faced, Clapsaddle showed little rust as he retired the next two bat-ters he faced. However, a Winthrop two-out single cut the Georgia lead to just one.

After right-hander Steve Esmonde delivered a scoreless fifth inning for the Bulldogs, Georgia added an insurance run on a double to right by second baseman Levi Hyams. Verdin streaked around the bases from first and slid home to beat the throw from right to

give Georgia the 4-2 advantage.

The Bulldogs’ relief pitching was sharp, as a parade of eight different pitchers combined to hold Winthrop to just six hits on the evening.

“Everyone kind of feeds off each other,” said Hyams. “Pitchers feed off the infielders and the defense feed off the pitchers, hit-ters feed off the way the pitchers are throwing so it’s all a big circle.”

Georgia’s flame-throw-ing right-hander Cecil Tanner, who has struggled with his control at times this season, delivered a flawless sixth inning, retir-ing three-straight Eagle batters on two strikeouts and a groundout.

“He’s been out I think three consecutive times and hasn’t walked any-body so that’s moving the right direction,” said head coach David Perno.

After a leadoff walk issued by left-hander Alex McRee, McRee and right-hander Cooper Moseley combined to preserve the Bulldog win in the ninth.
