After the lack of news the past couple of days, there are a few stories to report on.

  • There is no update as of yet about the warning the UGA Police sent out yesterday.  A look of the arrest logs of UGA provide no clues as well.
  • As previously reported, UGA has been approved to take control of the Navy Supply Corps School grounds, where a medical school will be built.  Also see the coverage of Peach Pundit, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and the Athens Banner-Herald.
  • Cocktails at the Georgia Center (registration required) - The Georgia Center is expanding its bar, adding a cocktail lounge.  The article says they hope to have the expansion finished by football season.  Apparently they don’t want to miss out on all that business.
  • Improving campus (registration required) - Administrators and students have come up with a list of “campus beautification” projects.
  • Parking rates might go up (registration required) - A consultant is telling the Athens-Clarke County government to raise downtown parking rates and the parking ticket fines.  It seems ACC always works on this kind of stuff during the summer, when students aren’t around.  I wonder why…

And a follow-up on a post from last week: Last week there was an editorial by Bill Shipp printed in the Gwinnett Daily Post that blasted UGA and University Housing.  Today, the Post printed a response by UGA Vice President Tom Jackson.  It’s good reading.

That’s what it ultimately comes down to, as it almost always does with BS — Bill Shipp, that is…
