JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — This was supposed to be the year the tide turned.

Georgia was the favorite and playing the best it had played all season, riding high off a three-game winning streak, facing the most vulnerable Florida team in recent memory sans their beloved Georgia killer, Tim Tebow.

Although it took more than the usual 60 minutes for the first time in the game’s his-tory, Florida delivered another devastating loss to Georgia — for the 18th time in the last 21 years — pulling Georgia’s hopes of winning the SEC East off of life sup-port.

“It hurts my heart right now,” A.J. Green

said. “We put a lot of work into this season trying to turn this thing around and to go out like this … man, it’s hard

to swallow.”It was a loss that fol-

lowed the same script

An Athens man accused the University Athletic Association of using a song he wrote without compen-sating him, according to a civil action.

He claims his song, played at University foot-ball games, has caused the football team to win.

The plaintiff, Louis Edward Williams, said in the action that when he was in junior high school, he wrote a song — “Dooley’s Junkyard Dawgs” — that has since been played at University football games.

He said the song is incorrectly attributed to James Brown, and the Athletic Association has not given him credit or any payment for the song. He says he is owed tens of mil-lions of dollars.

When asked for com-ment, Williams refused.

The University has caused him “harms, hurts, damages and incorrigible and irreparable injuries” by using his song, Williams wrote in the documents.

In addition to the Athletic Association, the action accuses several other important University figures, including the University Athletic Association, former foot-ball coach and athletic

It takes more than an ID to get into some bars downtown.

Blake Pippin, a senior from Thomaston, said he has been turned away from bars for his clothing, asked to step down after dancing on a block and was recently sprayed with water by an owner while he was wearing a Halloween costume.

As a result, Pippin and more than 500 others are part of a “Boycott Firehouse” event on

Facebook. The event encourages patrons of Fahrenheit bar, former-ly known as Firehouse, to go to other bars in Athens that “do not discriminate.”

“To me, it was just about respect. And yes, I am a gay man and you might not accept me, but you need to respect me,” he said. “I respect them because they’re not a gay bar, but then at the same time, if you didn’t want me there dressed in a Halloween cos-tume then you should’ve told me that before I got in there. There are different ways they could’ve

handled what they did without the physical aspect of it.”

Last week, Pippin was wearing a Cruella de Vil costume when he entered Fahrenheit. He went downstairs and saw the bar was empty, so he turned to leave. As he was leaving, he said he was “sprayed with water numerous times,” by a man Pippin said was the bartender and owner of Fahrenheit.

“I turned around to leave and I felt something hit me,” Pippin said. “So I turned around to see what it was, and then it hit me in

the face. I got ticked. I was like, ‘What the hell’s going on? Why are you shooting me with water?’ He kept on doing it to where I left.”

He called the bar the next day to talk to the owner, but he said his call has not been returned.

When contacted by The Red & Black, Brian Durden, bartender and owner of Fahrenheit, declined comment.

Pippin said he has been asked by Fahrenheit management to

The Red & Black took home five national awards this weekend.

The newspaper received a newspaper Pacemaker, an online Pacemaker and three individual awards.

The Pacemaker Awards are given out by the Associated Collegiate Press, and the award is one of the highest honors a col-legiate newspaper can receive.

“It’s really nice to see that all of our hard work has paid off,” said Carolyn Crist, former Editor-in-Chief and second place winner in the “Feature Story” category. “We had several good news series and feature ideas. And it’s cool to know that these kinds of ideas and stories are recognized on the national level.”

Hayley Peterson won first in the “News Story” category and Chelsea Cook was recognized for a story in the “Diversity” category.

Dogs still fall when favored JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —

Greg McGarity’s face summed up the outcome of Saturday’s game.

Georgia’s first-year ath-letic director was leaning against the wall of the Bulldogs’ tunnel inside EverBank Field with his arms folded and his feet crossed in the minutes fol-lowing the Bulldogs’ 34-31 overtime loss to the Florida Gators.

His absent-minded stare expressed the same emotion that I’m sure was felt throughout Georgia’s locker room — disappoint-ment, heartbreak and frus-tration. He stood still, by himself, as Florida fans celebrated in the stands and Florida players danced on the field.

That same heartbreak on McGarity’s face was also evident on the faces of the Georgia players as they solemnly filed off the field and headed toward the locker room after forc-ing an overtime period for the first time in the storied

rivalry between the two SEC schools.

Cornerback Brandon Boykin said it was the most heartbreaking loss he’s suffered in his football career.

“Losing to Florida, we were right there,” Boykin said. “This is the game that everybody waits for. This was our chance to contend for the SEC East. And just to lose it like that really, really sucks.”

Of the five losses Georgia has suffered this season, the players seemed most upset after losing to Mississippi State. But the pure heartbreak factor was most palpable in post-game interviews Saturday.

step down from a block he was danc-ing on and move to another block because it was “for girls only.”

Pippin has also been turned away from bars for dress code, he said.

John Griffiths, a doorman at Fahrenheit, said he usually turns people away for IDs and drunken-ness. When asked if he has ever turned them away for anything else, he said no. But he said there is a dress code posted on the bar’s door.

“We have a pretty big regular establishment, so people already usually know what the dress code is,” Griffiths said.

Among other stipulations, the dress code doesn’t allow sleeveless shirts, plain colored T-shirts, sun-

glasses and blue jean shorts. Last year, Pippin was denied admission for wearing jean cut-off shorts.

“They were designer jean cut-off shorts, and they told me I couldn’t wear those in,” he said. “But at the same time, you have girls that are walking in with jean cut-off booty shorts.”

Pippin then contacted the bar to ask how people are supposed to know these rules if they aren’t posted anywhere. He said he has now noticed a dress code sign posted at the entrance of Fahrenheit.

Like Fahrenheit, other bars reserve the right to refuse business to any-one without providing a reason.

Bryson Pullins, a fifth-year from Jonesboro, said he has been turned away from The Loft for wearing jean

shorts.“I think it’s kinda stupid to do it

in Athens because none of the other bars I’ve tried to go to really have a dress code,” Pullins said. “I think it’s pointless. It’s kinda stupid you’re not able to go to bars just in a T-shirt and jeans.”

Pullins said a friend was turned away from The Loft because of a logo on his T-shirt. Pippin’s friends had similar experiences.

“I’ve had friends who were turned away for having nose piercings to cartilage earrings,” Pippin said. “To me, that’s just silly. If you know you’re going to a very upscale bar, then you need to dress appropriately. But if you’re just going to a downtown col-lege bar, then I wouldn’t expect a dress code to be enforced.”

BAR: Some say dress code is not needed

NATASHA PEAT | The Red & Black

Downtown’s Fahrenheit bar has been accused by some University students of discrimination.

From Page 1

director Vince Dooley, former athletic director Damon Evans, athletic director Greg McGarity, head football coach Mark Richt, former football commentator Larry Munson, former University presi-dent Fred Davison, University president Michael Adams and the Georgia Board of Regents.

“…the Defendants and Et. Als. have a scheme, schedule, plan, plot and contrive and design and devise, which patterns amount to a conspiracy, against, the, plaintiff, Louis Edward Williams,” Williams wrote. “They have combined for evil pur-poses.”

McGarity said he hadn’t heard of the accusations, and declined to comment. John Millsaps, spokesman for the Board of Regents, and Cynthia Hoke, director of the University’s public affairs news ser-vice, said they could not comment on ongoing legal action.

Williams’ action is handwritten on notebook paper, and the document is full of spelling and grammatical errors. Williams even spells his own name two dif-ferent ways.

Not only does Williams want payment for the song, he implies the song is the reason the football team has won games.

“Furthermore, the plaintiff, Louis Edward Williams, helped to produce a

Heisman Trophy Winner, Running Back, Hershal [sic] Walker,” he wrote. “Of course! Hershal went pro.”

Williams also seems to believe his song is responsible for the financial success of the defendants.

“Louis Edward Williams, even, made, Mr. Vince Dooley a Multi-Millionaire, as, Head of the Athletics Department at the University of Georgia,” Williams wrote in the documents.

In the action, Williams demands a pay-ment for the song to the tune of alter-nately $30 million and $50 million.

“Your Honors!” he wrote. “When, do, I, profit? Where is my windfall? Where is my prosperity? Where are my wages? ...Where is justice for my years of loyal services? I would like, to, be, prosperous, also, but, I am not doing well, successful, flourishing, rich nor well-off, eventhough [sic], I have tried prosperously.”

After he submitted his action, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Hyles ordered Williams must pay a filing fee of $350 or submit a motion to proceed “in forma pauperis.” Williams submitted a motion to proceed in district court without pre-paying costs on Oct. 29.

“The Defendants are causing and put-ting the Plaintiff, Louis Edward Williams, through, suffering, pain, agony and humil-iation,” Williams wrote. “This is cruel and unusual punishment.”

Lost, drunk, and pants-less

Athens-Clarke County Police responded a com-plaint about a lost, pant-less drunken female from a Riverbend Club Apartments resident Thursday, according to a police report.

At 1 a.m., when the offi-cer arrived at the apart-ment parking lot, he met with residents who had been helping to calm the woman down.

The officer found University student Mary Carlton, 19, sitting on the steps of an apartment and wearing no pants, accord-ing to the report. Carlton told the officer she was

waiting for a friend to pick her up. She also admitted to drinking vodka.

The officer had Carlton put her pants back on, and placed her under arrest on charges of underage con-sumption of alcohol.

Open container, underage

University student Joseph Kimbrel, 18, was seen by an Athens-Clarke County Police officer carry-ing a clear plastic cup full of what appeared to be an alcoholic beverage early Thursday morning, accord-ing to a police report.

According to the report, when Kimbrel saw the arresting officer, he tried to hide the drink behind his leg. When an officer asked Kimbrel for identification, Kimbrel told the officer he was 23 and handed the officer a driver’s license belonging to James Battles Born, born in 1986, accord-ing to the report.

The officer smelled alco-hol on the breath of Kimbrel and noticed Kimbrel look away as if to hide his face when handing over the license, according to the report.

Knowing the license did not belong to Kimbrel, the officer then asked for another form of identifica-tion.

Kimbrel handed the officer his student ID, which revealed Kimbrel’s real age to be only 18 years old.

Kimbrel was arrested and charged with under-age consumption of alco-hol and open container.

as each of Georgia’s four previous losses: Dig a hole. Fight out. Then fall apart.

“I thought they fought valiantly. I don’t think any-body could question their effort or competitive spir-it,” head coach Mark Richt said. “Just one of those games where someone had to lose, and unfortunately it was us.”

Richt’s right. His team did fight the Gators.

And it was better than the blowout losses of 2008 and 2009, but at some point, you have to wonder: How does Georgia beat these guys?

“You win a game like this,” Richt said. “But we didn’t do it.”

It was an especially cruel end for a Georgia team that seemed to outplay Florida, minus four crucial turnovers.

And an even crueler end for a Florida kid playing in his home state, one that had just set his home-state school’s defense on fire with a splendid second half performance, but whose interception on Georgia’s final offensive play cost them.

If there is a silver lining in this outcome for Georgia, it is Murray, the star quar-terback who has the ability to transcend momentum, shifting it back in Georgia’s favor in his next three sea-sons.

But on the overtime drive, Murray’s protection collapsed, he fired the pass

out earlier than he wanted and slightly behind Green — leading to an almost-fatal Will Hill interception — and left Georgia wonder-ing: “What is there left to play for?”

All hopes of somehow backdooring their way into the SEC Championship game with a late-season South Carolina slide were dashed with the Florida

loss. To even gain bowl eli-gibility, a feat seventy col-lege football teams will do this season with the myriad of meaningless bowls held nationwide these days, Georgia will need to win two of their last three games. One of those games will pit the Bulldogs against Idaho State, a Football Championship Division opponent.

“Right now we think about winning the rest of our games starting with Idaho State,” Richt said. “There’s honor in that. We have fans that have paid their money for their sea-son tickets. We’ve got peo-ple that still love the Dogs and want to see them do well.”

With 10 offensive start-ers returning, it’s about the

worst-possible scenario anyone could have predict-ed for this season.

But that scenario has become a potential reality, and so Georgia will try to do what it has struggled to do all season.

“We just got to finish,” Green said. “We got anoth-er big one with Auburn and then Georgia Tech, and we just got to finish strong.”

INSTANT REPLAYGAME

REWINDPLAYER OF THE GAME:

Trey Burton, Florida quarterback

The 6-foot-2, 222-pound freshman was all over the field Saturday, as the Gators executed their three-quarterback system. Burton rushed for 110 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns and had 171 total yards. His legs — and John Brantley’s arm — kept the Gators’ offense moving, as they capitalized on Georgia’s four turnovers.

OVERLOOKED PLAYER OF THE GAME:

Janoris Jenkins, Florida cornerback

Jenkins had the daunt-ing task of containing wide receiver A.J. Green. But the 5-foot-11 junior largely took Green out of the game, limiting him to just 42 yards receiving and one touchdown. Jenkins also picked off Aaron Murray in Georgia’s first offensive play from scrimmage and despite the fact that he is five inches shorter than Green, Jenkins held the Bulldogs’ go-to man to an uncharacteristically quiet day.

KEY MOMENT: Chas Henry’s game-win-

ning field goal in overtimeAfter a fourth quarter

comeback by the Bulldogs tied the game at 31, Georgia had to keep momentum rolling into overtime — but a Murray interception on third down left the game in the defense’s hands. Though Henry has not been stellar this season — just 4-of-8 — the senior punter-turned-kicker put the nail in Georgia’s coffin with a 37-yard field goal after missing his first attempt of the day in the first quarter. He was 2-of-3 on the day.

KEY DECISION: Georgia coaches allow-

ing Murray to continue to throw

Murray was shaky throughout the first half, showing a side the red-shirt freshman had not previously shown. He final-ly had a performance that’s expected of a fresh-man first-year starting quarterback, throwing two picks in regulation. But Murray looked improved in the second half and the coaches continued to let him sling the ball to his receivers, racking up 313 yards and three touch-downs. And though Murray seemed to take care of the ball better in the sec-ond half and didn’t over-throw his receivers as much, Murray’s overtime interception was the down-fall of allowing him to throw, rather than run the ball.

QUOTE OF THE GAME: Georgia quarterback

Aaron Murray on his over-time interception:

“I was looking at A.J. [Green] and I think I just threw it behind it. You throw it anywhere near him and he’s gonna make a play but I threw it way too far behind him. The [Florida defender] made a nice tip on the ball and with the athletes they have, when the ball’s in the air someone’s gonna make a play.”

After falling to Florida for the 18th time in 21 games, the disappoint-ment was evident for the Bulldogs during and after the game.

From Page 1

Heads seemed to hang heavier. Voices seemed to be softer. Answers seemed to be shorter.

“This is one of the big-gest rivalries in college football. I felt like we fought to the end,” Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green said. “We gave it all we got. A lot of guys left their heart on the field — I know I left mine out there.”

The Bulldogs seemed to lack passion the first five games — they found it against Tennessee. The Bulldogs appeared to final-ly realize they could com-pete for the SEC East title and redefine the 2010 sea-son.

But when the season came to a crescendo Saturday, all the cheering was coming from the opposite sideline.

A silence swept over the men in red after yet anoth-er loss at the hands of the Bulldogs’ kryptonite.

“It’s definitely not a great feeling, but this team has fought back all year. I mean, we could’ve quit three, four weeks ago and we didn’t,” quarterback

Aaron Murray said. “This team has a lot of fight in them and we’re gonna keep fighting, keep getting better.”

But their fight wasn’t enough Saturday.

And the same will they drew upon to score 21 points in the second half against Florida is the type of will the Bulldogs have to learn to play with through-out a game.

“This team’s got heart. We really do,” wide receiver Tavarres King said. “It just sucks that it ended the way it did because we fight so hard week in and week out. Monday through Sunday, we’re up early, grinding and it’s tough to lose this one.”

Though the players talked about not dwelling on losses and moving for-ward, I have a feeling their minds will linger on this one more than the other four. And the only solution is to do what Green, Murray and King all spoke of — fight.

“Just keep fighting, keep grinding,” head coach Mark Richt said. “Show up to work, be a grown man and do your job. And enjoy it.”

Calling all partisan party hacks!

In case you’ve somehow missed the campaign commercials, the time to perform our civic duty is upon us.

Rather than being a straight-ticket voter, I urge you to actually consider the candidates themselves before casting your ballot.

After taking a hard look, I think you will find a few undesirables car-rying your party banner.

Don’t be naïve. Both sides have them.

To my fellow Republicans — if you support dishonesty and brib-ery, look no further than the lieu-tenant governor’s office.

The only person more corrupt than both parties’ gubernatorial candidate is Casey Cagle.

The man is already rumored to be behind every unethical back room deal in our state since he was first elected.

Then, he goes on the campaign trail and blatantly lies about his record on taxes and education.

Although she carries the dread-ed “D” by her name, Cagle’s chal-lenger Carol Porter is the true fis-cally responsible candidate. She has vowed to bring principles and credibility back to the office.

She deserves your support.

And don’t let the GOP’s candi-date for attorney general, Sam Olens, fool you.

That pure-blooded Yankee has run solely on a campaign promise to lead the fight against Obamacare.

In reality, the state lawsuit has already been filed and there isn’t really anything the attorney gener-al can do beyond this point.

He’s a one issue candidate and his issue is moot.

If you want a deceitful carpet-bagger, vote for Olens.

Otherwise, take a look at Ken Hodges. He might not be as vile as you first think.

And Democrats, are you really going to support Georganna Sinkfield for secretary of state?

She has essentially promised to undo all the progress that has been made concerning voter registra-tion, opting to allow more election fraud.

Why would you vote for a candi-date who wants to move back-wards?

Secretary of State Brian Kemp is an Athens native who has always been a strong backer of the University.

It is in your best interest to ensure he remains in office.

And as much as you raging liber-als loathe Rep. Paul Broun, his opponent Russell Edwards has done nothing on the campaign trail but prove his minute grasp of the issues this country is facing.

He’s just a man with high aspi-rations and no substance.

Simply attacking Broun without providing alternative solutions should not be enough to garner support.

Our state and country are in an economic crisis.

We need to elect real leaders who can tackle the problems we are facing.

Don’t be a part of the partisan politics that are plaguing our nation.

Ignore the label and focus on the candidate.

Otherwise, be a party puppet and watch us continue down the road to nowhere.

Behavior off the field matters to the gameThe NCAA is a

conundrum.When exactly is

it okay for a college ath-lete to receive outside money?

The NCAA has been investigating numerous collegiate athletic pro-grams and individual players for receiving improper “gifts” from agents.

However, if Caleb King receives a $500 loan from a friend, that’s okay?

The NCAA has been so concerned about athletes receiving money that I guess they decided to ignore the fact that they allow athletes to continue playing even after an arrest.

The Bulldogs have had eleven players arrested this season, and the most Mark Richt has done about it is dole out light slaps on the wrist by sus-pending players for one or two games.

Oh, unless you’re not a star player.

Richt dismissed fresh-man linebacker Demetre Baker from the team in September following Baker’s arrest for DUI.

In April, Richt dis-missed quarterback Zach Mettenberger after he was arrested for multiple charges, including disor-derly conduct and under-age possession of alcohol, in March.

Apparently drinking is a big no-no with Richt, but obstruction of justice,

hit-and-run and failure to appear in court are OK — as long as you’re a valu-able asset to the team.

Maybe Richt eased up on his players after he saw how badly Georgia started out this year.

News flash: When your punter is featured on your team’s promotional post-ers… your team’s in trou-ble.

In September, Reggie Bush, former University of Southern California running back who is now playing for the New Orleans Saints, voluntari-ly forfeited his Heisman Trophy after the NCAA threatened to strip Bush of the honor for allegedly receiving inappropriate gifts from agents while in school.

I hope his Super Bowl Championship ring didn’t scratch the trophy when he put it back in its box.

Good news though, NCAA. The current Heisman front-runner, Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, transferred to Auburn after he was kicked off of the University of Florida foot-ball team in 2008 for fac-ing charges of felony bur-glary.

OK, NCAA, so the guy leading the Heisman vot-

ing board had a rough patch, you’ve got better though, right?

How about Oregon running back LaMichael James, who trails Newton in votes by only 22 points? Well, James is currently serving a 24-month probation term after pleading guilty to charges of domestic vio-lence.

Oh… This isn’t work-ing out so well…

Don’t worry guys. I’m sure they’ll get their just desserts.

After all, it’s not like Newton will win the Heisman Trophy, be praised and honored by his coaches and peers and then go on to the NFL and make millions of dollars.

Oh, wait…I honestly don’t expect

Richt to discipline his players any more than he has. Why bother?

A lot of these guys are headed to the NFL soon, an organization that wel-comes athletes with crim-inal backgrounds with open arms and then enacts new rules in order to protect them on the field.

You can’t sack Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback who served 21 months in jail for run-ning an illegal canine fighting operation, too hard anymore. He might injure his holding-dogs-underwater-until-they-drown muscle.

So what exactly is Richt doing to fix his team’s problem?

Just recruiting Zack Witchett, who was recent-ly kicked off his high school football team for an “internal rules viola-tion.”

It’s OK though! Witchett made his atone-ment via a Facebook sta-tus, which read, “BIG MISUNDERSTANDING! I APOLYGIZE (sic).”

What worries me most isn’t that Witchett was excused from his team, but that we’re recruiting someone that can’t spell the word “apologize.”

I urge Richt to say the same thing I say to myself whenever I hear about a 19-year-old millionaire or see an old person exercis-ing.

Get it together, Caitlin. But he can insert his

own name if he needs to.Just because the

NCAA doesn’t care about players who break the law doesn’t mean that our head coach shouldn’t.

Georgia is a team I want to be proud of, even during this most devas-tating of seasons.

But when our team’s rap sheet is longer than our win record this sea-son, the only excitement I get in Sanford Stadium comes after discovering it has a Subway.

CAITLIN WILSON

My uncle disap-peared on Oct. 18.

He hasn’t been answering his cell phone.

Perched in a glorified tree house with a rifle and Coleman propane stove — I know he’s safe and happy.

After all, he’s protect-ing his fellow citizens by eliminating a major threat on Georgia’s roads.

Deer cause 1.5 million car accidents — over $1 billion in vehicle damages — each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The accidents cause more than cosmetic dam-age — they kill about 150 people a year and injure over 10,000 drivers.

It’s time we forget the Bambi-brainwashing of our childhoods.

Deer don’t skate on fro-zen ponds with skunks and bunnies — they dart across the loop in front of your car, or fly through your windshield when struck by another motor-ist.

That’s how Virginia Solomon was killed on Route 5 in Douglas County on June 21.

Sixteen people died in Georgia from deer-related crashes from 2007 to 2009 according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution arti-cle (“Airborne deer kills Douglasville motorist,” June 23) covering Solomon’s death.

The Georgia firearm-hunting season started the same weekend my uncle vanished.

He goes through the proper gun safety courses and literally has a license to kill — deer — purchased from the good ol’ peach state.

Georgia ranks fifth nationally for deer-related collisions based on total insurance claims filed, according to www.car-acci-dents.com.

The chances of you or a loved one dying at the hoof of a whitetail are slim.

But in the declining economy, how many of us can finance repairing our vehicles after a furry impact?

I didn’t file a claim when Bambi’s mom ran into my car the second day it was in my posses-sion.

I see the basketball-sized dent nestled between my gas tank and taillight every time I enter my car.

A vehicular blemish isn’t the only reason I sup-port hunting.

Although the thought of firing a .30-06 at a fuzzy, doe-eyed darling may turn your stomach, imagine you were the deer.

Would you rather endure a slow, agonizing death or a swift shot in the temple? Munching on moss before the lights go out or limping into a dark, lonely forest on fractured legs and suffering from internal bleeding?

Although unintentional, the latter seems like a worse way to bite the bul-let.

Humans simply existing have ruined the deer’s chance at a normal happy life. Unless we’re willing to give up driving, deer will keep dying.

Of course, there are more Disney-friendly ways to reduce the lifeless lumps lining our highways’ shoulders.

Erecting roadside fenc-es would suffice.

But is that even fiscally possible?

I think the U.S. Department of Transportation should allocate funding to pot-holes or necessary stop-lights, and let hunters pro-tect our open roads through open season.

Hunting not only gener-ates money for the state, it also stimulates our economy.

Firearms, ammunition, a subscription to Guns & Ammo and all other recre-ational needs benefit the retail industry — which last I heard, wasn’t doing so well.

Instead of frowning on those who sport camou-flage three months of the year, I say we show our gratitude towards hunters for keeping our roads safe.

Happy Hunting.

Wikileaks website helps democracy

Jared Peden’s article (“Wikileaks harms U.S. troop safety,” Oct. 28) suf-fers from an overly dog-matic and one-sided per-spective.

While Peden clearly rec-ognizes our strategic and military interest in keep-ing certain information classified, he fails to bal-ance that interest against the public’s strong inter-est in the disclosure of information.

Peden argues that we must protect those who fight to protect our free-doms.

He is absolutely cor-rect.

However, those who defend us are defending a democracy, and a democ-racy cannot function with-out access to pertinent information.

Additionally, disclosure of information serves a watchdog function.

Think of COINTELPRO: systemat-ic use of illegal surveil-lance, assassination, vio-lence and intimidation of

political organizations was discovered only when a group of concerned citi-zens illegally raided an FBI field office and dis-closed that information to U.S. newspapers.

Wikileaks serves a simi-lar vital function, and that should not be forgotten.

Mike Bobo should be dismissed now

It is time for Mike Bobo to go.

He has poor judgment in calling offensive plays.

He is too cutesie to be solid.

He seems to be more interested in being clever than in running plays which will actually work.

As Vince Dooley once said, “When it is not nec-essary to change, it is nec-essary not to change.”

Sanity. Fear. Both?Saturday’s “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” in Washington, D.C., the culmination of, and counter to, the verbose, cynical and character-filled

cable news culture surprised the city just days before election day — if only because the turnout surprised the attendees themselves.CBS News estimated the rally at 215,000 strong — much more than the 25,000 hoped for by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Comedy Central crew.The Red & Black traveled to Washington, D.C. for the event, glad to get out of Athens for fall break and intrigued to see if sanity and/or fear would win out.

Rally to restore sanity

A Washington, D.C. resident (left), equipped with an altered ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ flag, paraded around the Capitol’s steps warning passersby of an unseen threat of snakes. On the National Mall, rally attendees (below) brought homemade signs that touched on the dangers of bears, the Tea Party movement, the benefits of Mexican Food and, on occasion, President Obama’s inability to dispose of the BCS in favor of a playoff system for NCAA Division I football.

The steps of the West Building of the National Gallery of Art (left) filled before noon Saturday as The Roots prepared to open the event. Encouraged to come wearing cos-tumes, attendees such as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee (above) marched with a group inspired by Alice in Wonderland chanting, “We’re late, we’re late, for a very important date, Afghanistan cannot wait.”
