Studies have shown that college-aged binge drinkers are happier than those who abstain from the practice.

College students who binge drink are happier with their social lives, and the higher a student’s social sta-tus, the more likely they are to binge drink, according to a report from the American Sociological Association.

!is study de"ned binge drinking as four or more drinks at one sitting for women and "ve or more for men, and it must hap-pen at least every two weeks. High status was described as

wealthy, heterosexual, white males who were involved in Greek life.

!ose with lower status who participated in binge drinking reported levels of happiness with their social

lives that were comparable to those with high status. “

“When an individual "rst begins drinking, they experi-ence a state of euphoria,” said Debbie Morgan, coordina-tor of substance abuse pre-

vention. “During this initial state of euphoria, an individ-ual may experience a feelings of being excited where they become more talkative and outspoken,” which is where the feelings of having a hap-

pier social life come into play.

!e percentage of college students who binge drink has stayed steady since around the 1980s, according to a study by Dr. Richard Grucza,

a professor at Washington University in St. Louis. !is worries professionals for sev-eral reasons.

College-aged binge drinkers who participate in the practice more than three times every two weeks are 19 times more likely to be-come alcoholics, according to an article entitled “Binge Drinking in Young Adults: Data, De"nitions, and De-terminants.” It’s also been re-ported in the same study that up to one-third of all traf-"c accidents that late high school to college students are in involve alcohol. Around 50 percent of head injuries reported by students in the same age range can be attrib-

!is year, the UA and the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department are preparing for a $9 million project to widen Razorback Road to four lanes, facilities management o#cials said.

!e construction of these additional lanes will start at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Razor-back Road, said Mike Johnson, associate vice chancellor for fa-cilities management.

!e road will continue right

at the intersection of Maple Street and Razorback Road and will end at the intersection of Maple and Garland Avenue, he said.

“Razorback Road simply cannot support the increased tra#c caused by the ever-rising student population,” Johnson said.

“We’ve needed to widen it for a long time,” he said. “We have been trying to do it for the past 15 years.”

Construction was originally set to begin by September 2012 but has been put on hold un-til the spring of 2013, Johnson said.

!e UA decided to push back construction so they could generate enough funds

Razorback to be Widened to 4 Lanes

A local photographer has started a new project called “Ambush: Color in the Gray” in hopes of bringing some color to Fayetteville this winter.

“Ambush” will feature six of

Michelle Marshall’s prints and will be displayed throughout various places in Fayetteville in an attempt to bring some color to the dreary winter landscape during this time of year.

!e project started Feb. 3, and all of the prints are about 60 inches by 40 inches each in size. Marshall’s work includes close-up images of $owers and other colorful nature shots.

“I began using $owers as subjects because I am struck by how a deep exploration of a $ower shatters the super"cial assumptions associated with

this object of beauty,” Marshall wrote on her personal website. “Meticulous observation of a single $ower opens a door to the understanding of that $ow-er as a wild being full of color, motion, texture and light.”

“Ambush: Color in the Gray is about bringing my images out of the studio and into a public space,” according to the project

website. “It is about sharing my delight with the discovery of the small worlds I have found through my photography. It is about bringing a bit of a sur-prise to my community. It is, quite literally, about bringing color to a gray winter.”

Marshall started photogra-phy in high school, taking pho-tos for the newspaper and year-book. She went on to major in photography in college at Texas A&M University-Commerce, but she changed her major to

McKenna Gallagher Sta# PhotographerIn an e#ort to reduce tra%c congestion, the UA and the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department are preparing a project to widen Razorback Road, Tuesday, Feb. 19.

RAZORBACK continued from page 1

BINGE continued from page 1

AMBUSH continued from page 1 for the project, Johnson said.

“We just wanted to make sure all of our a%airs were in order before beginning con-struction,” he said.

!e $9 million estimated cost of the project includes ex-penses other than the road ex-pansion, such as sidewalks and additional tra#c lights along Razorback Road, Johnson said.

“I think this project is to-tally unnecessary,” said James Wilson, psychology major. “I

could see this being useful dur-ing football games, but other-wise the tra#c on Razorback Road really isn’t that bad. !e university should be putting all that money towards our stu-dents’ education rather than all these pointless construction projects.”

!e city of Fayetteville has already begun moving utility lines. !e entire project could last more than 30 months, Johnson said.

!e tra#c lights will be installed at the intersections of Razorback Road and Le-roy Pond Drive, and Meadow Street and West Maple Street.

Construction crews will do their best to avoid campus traf-"c by only working at certain times of the day and never on game days, Johnson said.

!e Arkansas State High-way and Transportation De-partment will have a public meeting in Fayetteville to dis-

cuss plans for the project, ac-cording to the highway and transportation department website.

!e meeting will be held !ursday, April 4, from 4-7 p.m. at the Fayetteville High School cafeteria. !e public is invited to visit anytime during the scheduled hours to view displays, ask questions and of-fer comments, according to the highway and transportation department website.

uted to alcohol consump-tion. Binge drinking can also increase the likelihood of a stroke by up to 10 times.

In the U.S., binge drink-ing costs society around $223 billion per year, which amounts to around $2 per drink, according to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention. !is cost in-cludes health care, property damage and other criminal acts, and lack of work pro-

ductivity due to injuries or hangovers.

With all the proven neg-ative side e%ects of binge drinking, it has also been shown that college-aged students will not slow down their habits. Whether it is to feel more socially involved or not, binge drinking is part of college culture, es-pecially at large universities with many Greek organiza-tions such as the UA.

ASG proposed a bill dur-ing last night’s meeting to change the current impeach-ment process for ASG mem-bers.

!e current policy is vague, said Amy West, sena-tor who spoke of the bill.

!e proposed new policy is based on the system used by LSU’s student government and the US impeachment process.

“!e Senate of the Associ-ated Student Government has no such constitutional power, and therefore is restricted from their duties of uphold-ing the democratic process,” according to the bill.

For the impeachment to be considered it must have four sponsored and also be heard by both ASG senate and the graduate congress. !e cur-

rent process only includes a review by the ASG judicial branch.

“In the future if there is an issue there... then that process is there, ”West said.

ASG has not had a prob-lem with members impeach-ing others and they do not want to create that problem, West said.

“We’re not obviously do-ing this to create any animos-ity, and we don’t think it will,” West said.

!e bill does not specify if

the senator’s votes during the case will be public or not, or if a&er the person is impeached if they will be allowed back into ASG.

Senate members will vote on this bill next Tuesday.

Other proposals included a change to structures of ASG committees and changes to FreshHogs, an ASG program for freshman.

Why It’s Important to Study Tolkien

Nearly a half century ago, David Green began piecing together miniature picture frames in his garage on a $600 bank loan. Today, his Hobby Lobby can be found in over 41 states at 500 lo-cations, according to Life News.

When he was listed by Forbes as the 79th wealthiest American, he humbly con-ceded, “Look, this is yours, God.” Now God’s business faces !nes of up to $1.3 mil-lion per day for objecting to accept part of the A"ordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare.

#e nationally renowned retail cra$ store Hobby Lobby is run unlike many other pro!t-driven compa-nies. As evangelical Chris-tians, the Green family runs its business by two funda-mental principles: remain-

ing in harmony with God’s laws and focusing on people more than money. How do they incorporate that vi-sion?

Among other things, they close early to allow employ-ees to spend time with their families in the evening and forfeit opening their doors on Sunday, the week’s most pro!table day, so families may enjoy an entire day of rest together. Additionally, they continue to add to their 20,000 employees in a weak economy, and have upped their wages for the past four years. Perhaps most impres-sively, Hobby Lobby’s full-time employees begin at 180 percent of minimum wage. #is is simply part of their faith-based business model.

However, the govern-ment apparently wants to skid the family business to a screeching halt. #e new government health care mandate forces the business

to provide abortion-causing drugs in addition to the con-traceptives that Hobby Lob-by already includes as part of its health insurance.

#e controversial FDA-approved abortifacients are Plan B and Ella, also known as the “morning-a$er” and “week-a$er” pills, respec-tively. Although some claim the drugs only prevent con-ception and are merely con-traceptives, other scientists maintain they can also cause death of the human embryo a$er conception and even implantation into the uter-us, which is by de!nition an abortion.

“#e government is forc-ing us to choose between following our faith and fol-lowing the law,” Green said in Life News. “I say that’s a choice no American — and no American business — should have to make.”

Clearly, this case is not about the dangers of unpro-

tected sex (the only 100 per-cent safe way is abstinence) or abortion. Washington has exempted thousands of companies, such as McDon-ald’s and Jack in the Box, for reasons of convenience and cost, according to USA To-day. Apparently one’s faith is no grounds for objection.

Fold or Pay. It is the Obama regime’s ploy to tax a %ourishing and responsible family business into obliv-ion: $474 million annually for this mandate alone. In stark contrast, Hobby Lobby continues to value people over money. Obamacare’s death grip may be tyranni-cal but nonetheless futile against deep-rooted convic-tions.

Hobby Lobby: When Business Becomes a Martyr

With Walmart down the road, everything in the world is accessible. Clothing, food and school supplies, what more could you ask for? Wal-Mart even reciprocates our business, giving jobs and money to students at the UA.

But Walmart is the big chain with low box prices and convenience. During these winter months, the conve-nience is all too easy for stu-dents.

Did you know, during these winter months, the little man is still working hard, set-ting up a farmers market at the botanical gardens on the outskirts of Springdale? Ev-ery Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., local farmers and cra$speople set up their table with pure, local goods and services.

In these winter days, it is vitally important we continue to show up and support our local vendors. Fayetteville was voted to have the !$h best farmers market in the nation in 2011, according to the Fayetteville Farmer’s Mar-ket website.

#e reason it is important to support these vendors is to keep Fayetteville money in Fayetteville hands. Of $100 spent in a local farm-ers market or local merchant, almost half gets repaid into the economy, according the Economic Impact Analysis Study of Local Merchants and

Chain Retailers, a 2002 study in Austin, Texas. Compara-bly, a chain store like Borders only puts $13 back into the local economy, according to the study.

One of the major reasons there is such a contrast be-tween the amount of money staying local, according to the study, is national chains have national distributors, while local stores and owners are more likely to purchase goods from other local vendors. Further, pro!ts from a chain store go to headquarters. #e pro!ts of a local chain stay with the owners and opera-tors here in northwest Arkan-sas.

In Salt Lake City, local re-tailers were putting over half their earnings back into lo-cal companies, while chains were returning less than 15 percent, according to a Civic Economics Survey of Inde-pendent Businesses published in the Indie Impact Study Se-ries.

#e winter market at the botanical gardens is a way for students to contribute to the local vendors and retailers here in Washington County. While it may be less conve-nient than the Walmart on Campus, or the two blocks down MLK, and it is only once a week, the money you spend at the farmers market is being returned to our local economy.

#e winter is not a time to go with the lazy, big box store. Winter is a time to help our local friends down the road. Take a drive to the beautiful botanical gardens, walk the trails and put some of your money back into our econo-my.

Keep Money Local in Winter Farmer’s Market

I am in a Tolkien class. Yes, as in J.R.R. Tolkien, the much-beloved author of the staggeringly popular Lord of the Rings saga. My home-work for next week is !nish-ing “#e Two Towers.” We argue over ring magic and the literary function of Tom Bombadil. #ere is a distinct possibility this is the most fun class in the world.

I was not a die-hard Tolkien-ite before beginning this class (though I might be now). I chose it as a fun upper-level class toward my English major. #us, I’m not okay with the stigma I feel is associated with someone taking a whole class on Mid-dle Earth literature. Some-times, before I tell someone I’m in this class, my brain yanks the words back from my throat and whispers, “Do you really want to tell them that? #ey’ll think you’re

a massive nerd.” And that word echoes in my mind: nerd.

#e word “nerd” is de-!ned as “a person who pur-sues an unfashionable or highly technical interest with obsessive or exclusive dedication,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary. In the same dictionary, the de!nition listed for “expert” is “one whose special knowl-edge or skill causes him to be regarded as an authority; a specialist.” If you’ll notice, the only di"erence between the two is the popularity of the topic of knowledgeabil-ity. Essentially, a nerd is an expert of an “unfashionable” subject.

Who decides what is fashionable and what is not? What makes one pur-suit worthwhile and an-other worthy of judgment? Perhaps it is usefulness, or what is perceived as such. For example, if I use my free time to study public policy or current fashion trends, few would care to comment. However, if I do the same with spiders or Lord of the Rings, I become the recipi-ent of thinly veiled whis-pers and rolling eyes. Most likely, where the OED says “fashionable,” we consider “lucrative” a better adjective. Studying subjects that will help you rake in cash — such as law or high fashion — is

acceptable; studying things you enjoy but that won’t pay the bills — bugs or hobbits — is not. Perhaps the level of knowledge itself is on some level socially taboo. At the high school and college level, those who devote themselves to studying beyond basic re-quirements slip a bit toward the negative end of the slid-ing scale of “cool.” #is is why we slap people with epi-thets like “overachiever” and the aforementioned “nerd.” Why? When did knowing things become unfashion-able?

My thesis is not to say, “be yourself ” or “don’t pick on nerds,” but rather to change the way we think about knowing things. Soon, when we dive into the pond of gainful employment, one of the few things setting us apart from three and a half million other !sh with un-dergraduate degrees is be-ing a comparative expert in something special. Common examples are %uency in for-eign languages or having a specialized graduate degree. However, having a seem-ingly less useful specialty can come in handy, if you try hard enough.

Consider Steve Jobs’ re-%ection on taking a calligra-phy course in college in the New York Times when he “learned ... about what makes great typography great. It

was beautiful, historical, ar-tistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the !rst Macintosh computer, it all came back to me … If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.”

Jobs wasn’t even an ex-pert in calligraphy, but even that little bit of specialized knowledge was useful to him.

So, normal people: Learn a specialty. Become an ex-pert in something that inter-ests you, something you can be passionate about — even if it’s something like Lord of the Rings. A specialty can be useful in times and ways you least expect. And nerds: Do something with your knowl-edge. Don’t let it collect dust in your head or your hard drive. Find a way to make it work for you, to do some-thing with it for the bene!t of yourself and others. You will be amazed at what can happen when you know much about something and care about knowing it.

These chips are best to consume a few hours after baking be-cause they are most crisp then.

“Making Your Journey Worthwhile”

Eating healthily is a challenge for anyone, but when you are pressed for time, it becomes even more di!cult."e biggest culprit in ruining a day of healthy eating is snacks. Creating a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner is

usually simpler because you are taking time out of your day to eat these meals. Snacking is o#en done on the go and is where many people trip up.

"e best snack foods are almost always $lled with calories, preservatives and other things that are bad for you. Luckily, choosing healthy snacks is not too di!cult. It just takes a bit more willpower and a changeup of your grocery list.

Some of the best things to snack on are fruits and vegetables. Most people do not get their recommended daily serving of fruits and vegetables, and eating these foods when you snack can help you reach that.

"ere are many dips and things you can mix into fruits and vegetables that will not only make them yummier, but will also help boost your energy. Hummus is great for dipping vegetables. It is made with crushed chickpeas and can give you added protein, along with the vegetables.

Fruit goes great with low-fat yogurt. Buying a plain container of Greek or regular yogurt and adding in chopped strawber-ries, pineapples or any other fruit of your choice can help satisfy a sweet tooth without adding unneeded extra calories.

Many people choose granola bars when they are on the go and want a healthy snack. One of the best things to do to save money and ensure that you are eating something that is good for you is to make your own granola bars. "is recipe only takes about an hour to make, but will provide you with snacks all week. It is also gluten-free and vegan. "ese bars can be stored in an airtight container and frozen for up to a month.

“"ere’s Papaw Woody,” said Shannon Strickland, 43, of Parks Purity Pie Company, pointing to a black-and-white, 1920s photo of a man standing in front of a white de-livery truck labeled “Parks Pies.”

Strickland’s airstream trailer sits in the mobile food truck lot on College Street. Her great grandfather, Forrest Parks (Papaw Woody), opened Parks Purity Pie Company in 1925 in Indi-ana. “We always knew about the pie company,” Strickland said.

She sold pies at her sister’s salon and out of her house for the past year and a half before she opened her cur-rent mobile business location just a few weeks ago.

“I have all the original recipes, but I have modi$ed a lot of di%erent things,” Strickland said, who makes all that she can from scratch, down to whipping the whipped-cream top-pings.

Strickland’s pies are such a hot item that she’s selling out every day.

“One lady last week was so des-perate, she said, ‘If it’s half cooked, I don’t care, I’ll just put it in my oven.’ She didn’t want to lose the pie. It’s get-ting that crazy,” Strickland said. “I just thought, ‘I’ll open this, and I’ll have time to train people, and we’ll see if it’s a hit, and maybe it’s not.’ But we just hit the ground running. It’s been hectic trying to keep up with it. It’s very &attering.”

What’s the secret? “It’s like every-thing about it,” she said, “from the family history to the 1965 vintage airstream, to this being an airstream

vendors lot, to pie, like there’s no-where to get pie.”

Her signature — the crust. A per-fectly crumbly, classic graham crack-er crust that crackles in your mouth, it’s hard to replicate.

“No one can do the crust,” Strick-land said. “I’m the only one doing the $nal version of the pie. I see someone else doing it, and it’s just not perfect enough.”

Visitors to Parks Pies can buy homemade pie at $4.49 by the slice or preorder whole pies for $22.50.

Parks’ most popular pick is the Dutch apple pie with a salted caramel topping.

“I was going to constantly rotate the pies, but I could not get that pie o% the menu,” Strickland said. “I know that if I have no other time, I have to make Dutch apple. "at’s what people are going to want. If they don’t know it, they do want it. If there’s one pie to make, that’s the one I want to make.”

Strickland makes the salted cara-mel topping by hand, boiling the car-amel and salt in a huge vat every day.

"e caramel is so popular that people buy little jars of it for $4.50. She peels and slices the 10-15 pounds of apples a day that they go through.

Strickland said she usually tries to make three or four types of pie a day, including the staple Dutch apple, as well as cream, chocolate and but-termilk.

“"e age di%erence tells you what kind of pie,” Strickland said. “People 50 and older are going to want a chocolate cream pie with meringue; the 25 and under are going to want

the dutch apple with caramel.”Customers can keep up with

scrumptious pie options on the Parks Purity Pie Company Facebook page. But Strickland said they sell out so fast they’re erasing and rewriting the chalkboard-painted door with the menu throughout the day.

“I’ll make any kind of pie, it doesn’t have to be on my menu,” she said. “If I’ve never heard of it, that doesn’t matter, I’ll still make it. I just made a raisin pie, and a pineapple pie.”

For a while, Strickland was selling savory pies like chicken pot pie, beef pies and quiches, but they were get-ting so popular that she had to quit making them. “I had to amputate the savory to save the sweet,” she said.

“I just want to stay true to my sweet pie dessert restaurant,” she said. Parks Pies still does savory pies, but only on preorder. In fact, whole, 9-inch pies can only be bought on preorder. Strickland highly encourag-es customers to order a pie 24 hours in advance.

With Parks Pies’ growing popu-larity, Strickland is preparing for the Valentine’s Day rush. Chocolate cream, cherry and strawberry rhu-barb were on the menu and available for couples in 6-inch mini pies.

“I’ve always made desserts, and my family and I’ve always made pies,” she said. “It’s more than just my hob-by now; it’s is my life. I make pies ev-ery day.”

Her years of expertise have made loyal customers out of locals.

“People in this town are not ashamed to look you in the eye and smile,” Strickland said. Of course, de-lectable homemade pies would put a smile on anyone’s face.

I for one, live for rival-ries. I can smell one from a mile away. I love the calendar revolving around one date circled with a big, hideous red pen. Although poisoning trees is a tad insane, I have

always longed for a rivalry of that magnitude and being an Arkansas fan has under-delivered.

I do know a rivalry when I see one and Saturday a!er-noon even from the nose-bleed section of Bud Walton Arena, I could smell one brewing.

Columbia, Mo., is only "ve hours from Fayetteville. #at is three hours closer to Fayetteville than the second-closest Southeastern Confer-ence school. Arkansas em-ploys a basketball coach who was stolen away from the Ti-gers.

Missouri has a lot to prove in this conference in every sport, including basketball in

which we expected a much more impressive debut sea-son than we have seen from them. #is has all the mak-ings of a real rivalry.

#ink about it, Missouri doesn’t have an SEC rival yet, and Arkansas never really did if you ask LSU fans. So this could work, right? Missouri is the new permanent Eastern division rival for the Hogs in football, replacing South Carolina, meaning Arkansas will play Missouri every year in football despite being in di$erent divisions.

If this is in fact the begin-ning of a beautiful rivalry, it is o$ to a great start. #e thrilling 78-76 Arkansas win Saturday was enough to get

anyone’s blood pumping. But it also got me thinking: was it close because it was some-how already a rivalry in our minds? Or is it now a rivalry in our minds because it was close? #at remains to be seen.

#e atmosphere felt rival-ry-like all day. #ere were a lot (a lot) of Missouri fans in town if you didn’t notice. #ey were loud and obnoxious and I hated them but I loved that they were there. Even though “good ole Bud Walton” is a myth in my mind, a story my parents tell that I hardly be-lieve anymore, I think I saw a glimpse of it Saturday.

#e Missouri fans were nice on Dickson though and

they said they would de"nite-ly be back. I believe them, you know. #ey will be back, and Arkansas fans will be going up there too. It’s a "ve hour drive and the destination is a land where you are almost implored to obnoxiously love your university to the point of well, tree poisoning. Visiting fans is a huge part of rivalry and the fact that it will be ac-cessible to Arkansas students and fans is huge.

I have my complaints about Missouri as an SEC school — for example, their students have some fashion issues that need to be ad-dressed and I can only pray they get that taken care of by the time we play them in

football.But on the whole, this is

going to be great for these two universities. #e two schools have an inter-min-gled history of recruiting battles (most recently, Dorial Green-Beckham) and coach-ing switches (Frank Broyles, Mike Anderson) that is the perfect foundation on which to build a rivalry.

I for one am very excited to start hating Missouri with a unique kind of hatred. Please

join me; it should be fun.Liz Beadle is a writer for

BASKETBALL

#e Razorback women’s basketball team is coming o$ a dominant win against Missouri Sunday and will be traveling to Georgia to take on the Bulldogs for the second time this season #ursday.

“We’re very positive and we know we need to win this,” sophomore Calli Berna said of the Georgia game. “We know our game plan and we’re going to be "ne.”

“We want to build on the momentum from the Missouri game,” senior Sarah Watkins said. “We know we need to just keeping moving forward.”

#e Razorbacks have al-ready faced the Bulldogs once this season. Georgia was ranked No. 12 at the time and they came to Fayetteville and beat the Hogs 57-53 a!er Ar-kansas blew an 11-point "rst-

half lead.“If you go in with a hal!ime

lead, you need to learn how to come out and "nish the game,” Watkins said. “You can’t just play around and let them get the lead back. You just have to put it away.”

“It’s so hard knowing how close we were to beating that team,” Berna said. “#ey’re ranked pretty high and we know we can get this win, which makes us even more hungry to get it.”

Georgia is ranked at No. 13 and this will be the eighth ranked opponent the Razor-backs have faced this season. #ey have yet to beat a ranked team.

“We need to go out and beat a ranked team at this point,” head coach Tom Collen said. “We’ve battled close with most ranked teams and now we’re optimistic that we can go out on the road and do enough to

Hogs to Take on No. 13 BulldogsLiz BeadleSta! Writer

see ROAD page 8

Coming o$ two consecu-tive Southeastern Conference victories, and with six remain-ing to be played, UA head coach Mike Anderson said he thinks his team still has some good basketball le!.

#e Razorbacks won their "rst road game of the season at Auburn Wednesday, then won again Saturday at Bud Walton Arena, improving their overall record to 16-9 and SEC record to 7-5.

“We’re trending in the right direction,” Anderson said. “Guys are playing with a lot of con"dence and are starting to trust each other.”

#ey face the Georgia Bull-dogs, who are 12-13 overall and 6-6 in the SEC, tomorrow.

Despite having a losing re-cord, the Bulldogs have been “playing good basketball” recently, Anderson said, win-ning "ve of their last seven games.

Sophomore guard Ken-tavious Caldwell-Pope leads Georgia with 17.7 points per game and 6.6 rebounds per game. He is also the second-leading scorer in the SEC.

“Pope is having a tremen-dous sophomore year,” An-derson said. “He’s one of the better guards in our league.”

A pair of freshman guards, Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines, and a senior guard, Vincent Williams, are also keys to the Bulldogs’ success, Anderson said.

Anderson also said Geor-gia plays a mid-tempo, power style of basketball.

“Hopefully we can get our guys in the right state of mind and continue to push the tem-po,” Anderson said. “Tempo is going to be important in this game.”

O$ensively for the Ra-zorbacks, Anderson expects several players to contribute. Junior forward Marshawn Powell led the team with 24 points against Missouri and Anderson said he thinks he could have another big game.

“If (Powell) has it going, we have to continue to go to him,” Anderson said. “He’s playing

some of his best basketball and is a hard matchup.”

Junior forward Coty Clarke and sophomore guard BJ Young could also score a lot of points tomorrow, An-derson said.

Clarke had 13 points against Missouri and was 3-for-3 from three-point range, matching his season total of 3-pointers.

“If (Clarke) is making them, he can take them,” An-derson said, “but we know that his bread and butter is getting to the basket, his mid-range shot and getting to the free throw line.”

Since returning to the

starting lineup, Young has scored 25 and 18 points against Auburn and Missouri, respectively, including seven in the "nal minute of the comeback victory over Mis-souri.

“I think (Young) is letting the game come to him,” An-derson said. “He’s getting a better feel of when it’s time to take over and when it’s not.”

A major key to defeating Georgia will be rebounding the basketball, Anderson said. In their 84-74 overtime loss at Ole Miss, the Bulldogs out-rebounded the Rebels by 15. When the Razorbacks played the Rebels in Oxford, Miss.,

Ole Miss out-rebounded them by four.

“(Rebounding) is a con-cern, especially with Geor-gia,” Anderson said. “#ey’re a team that will shoot and go get it. Our guards and for-wards need to do a better job on the boards.”

While Arkansas has won four of their last "ve games, Anderson said he thinks the team hasn’t even played to its full potential.

“I don’t think we’ve hit all cylinders, yet,” Anderson said. “But we’re getting a bet-ter understanding of who we are. #at identity is starting to show.”

get the win.”#ere are only four games

le! in the regular season for the Razorbacks, and they know that NCAA Tournament hopes are dwindling. #e Hogs are 5-7 in Southeastern Confer-ence play and Collen said he thinks they need to be 8-8 in the conference when the season ends to make the tournament. No. 11 Tennessee is still le! on Arkansas’ schedule as well.

“Georgia is playing for seed-ing right now and we’re "ghting for our lives a little bit,” Collen said. “We need to get to 500 in the conference; we might have a "ghting chance at 7-9. We just need to keep improving every single game.”

Arkansas has had many players step up and score points for them this season, so even

when an opposing defense shuts one player down, there are others there to take their place. Freshman Dominique Wilson has scored in the dou-ble-digits in the last three con-secutive games.

“It makes us really versatile,” Berna said of the team’s of-fensive diversity. “Some teams don’t have that option to have other players on the %oor step up.”

“It’s nice that so many of them step up, but we really need three or four of them to all step up in the same game to get a road win,” Collen said.

#e Georgia game is this #ursday at 6 p.m. in Athens, Ga., and the Razorbacks return to home action against No. 11 Tennessee Sunday at 1 p.m. at Bud Walton Arena.
