Fundraiser to help local kids in need BY LINDSEY MCCORMICK The George-Anne staff

A day filled with pony rides and bouncy houses will evolve into an evening full of cowboy boots, alcohol

and southern rock as two local restaurants come together for a good cause. This Saturday from noon to late in the evening Van Gogh’s Brewery and GATA’s Sports Bar & Grille will offer

an array of activities for community members at a fundraising event titled Giddy Up & Give. There will be a $2 donation charge at GATA’s front entrance before entering. See FUNDRAISER, Page 8

Groucho’s Deli to open in ‘Boro All menu options under $10 BY ALEXANDRA MCCRAY The George Anne staff

SHUTTLES ROLL OUT

Shuttles to Georgia Southern University’s campus are now available for Copper Beech Townhomes and The Grove at Statesboro residents. The complexes plan to provide residents with identification cards in the future, while residents’ access cards are used for the time being. Check thegeorgeanne.com for the full story.

Monday, Bigshow’s Burgers and A Smokin’ Place smoke shop will get a new neighbor in Groucho’s Deli. Groucho’s Deli will open its first franchise in Georgia in Statesboro on June 24. “The company started in Columbia, South Carolina in 1941 and has been growing ever since. This is the only location in Georgia, but one will be coming soon to Athens,” owner and general manager, Tyler Surratt, said. “Groucho’s wants to franchise in college towns because they do really well there,” Surratt said. With nothing on the menu over $10, Groucho’s will have something at an affordable price for everyone, carnivores, vegetarians and dieters alike. Signature dippers, a variety of sub and cold cut sandwiches, original sauces and salads will be just a few of the items that Groucho’s menu will offer. The deli will also offer catering services to parties of eight or more. “We’re famous for our formula 45 sauce and the STP dipper, and all our sauces are made fresh every day in the store,” said Surratt. Groucho’s will be located where Video Warehouse previously was on Brampton Avenue, and has only taken two months to spring up. Even though the restaurant is scheduled to open next Monday applicants are welcome to come in and fill out applications for kitchen staff and waitress positions, Surratt said. The deli will be rubbing elbows with popular Statesboro See GROUCHO’S, Page 2

Professor receives grant for summer program BY CYDNEY LONG The George-Anne staff

The National Science Foundation awarded Georgia Southern University professor Valentin Soloiu, Ph.D., a $360,000 Research for Undergraduates grant, according to a news release. Soloiu, the Allen E. Paulson Chair of Renewable Energy, will head a program that will start next summer and research energy problems. “This puts us in an extraordinary position to reach out to undergraduate engineering students nationally and

GROUCHO’S,

help boost their interest in research with hands-on learning,” Soloiu said in the news release. “The program that I have designed will allow students to perform research on our campus, and they will work on formulating new biofuels, hybrid combustion technologies, renewable energy, automotive engineering and many other areas.” Historically Black Colleges and Universities will help GSU select students to participate in the program. Every summer for the next three years, 10 students will

spend 10 weeks on campus in the Renewable Energy and Engines Lab researching engineering careers, according to the news release. The program, “Undergraduate Research in Green-Engineered New Transportation Technologies (URGENTT),” will incorporate hands-on learning with problemsolving skills to expand understanding of interdisciplinary concepts. Eight GSU faculty from the College of Engineering and Information Technology, the College of Science and Technology

and the Center for Teaching, Learning and Scholarship will contribute to the program,

according to the news release. The department of English will assist students with written reports and oral presentations. “We want to do everything we can to prepare the next generation of scientific leaders,” Soloiu said in the news release. “I expect this grant will continue to elevate us to a national level and generate a lot of interest in what we have to offer at Georgia Southern. Maybe these undergraduates who spend their summers with us will return to our campus and pursue master’s degrees.”

A Smokin’ Place’s manager, said. Junior theatre arts major Chryssie Lewis said she loves deli food and looks forward to trying the wide variety of salads and

sandwiches that Groucho’s will offer. Lewis said, “They have a lot of options, even for vegetarians. Sometimes it’s hard to go to delis

because a lot of people have the preconceived notions that everyone eats meat, and that’s not necessarily true so the vegetarian options are never appealing.”

The George-Anne

Our View

NCAA academic tracking needs to improve On Tuesday, Georgia Southern University’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores were released, and GSU’s scores have improved from the 2011-2012 academic year. APR tracks the academic progress of student athletes by giving them points. Two points are given to athletes in the fall and spring semester; one point is for remaining eligibility and the other point is given for continued enrollment in an institution. This system does not truly reveal much about athletes and their academic progress, but there are consequences for not meeting the correct amount of points, and these consequences can range from various restrictions on scholarships and requirements to postseason bans. The APR simply measures the eligibility and retention of students and only includes students that are receiving athletic financial aid, which is not all of the varsity athletics that take place at GSU. While it is important that GSU meets the APR score requirements, the NCAA should find a better way of measuring the academic standards of student athletes. The APR claims that its goal is to aid student athletes academically so that they might graduate with meaningful degrees that prepare them for life beyond the classroom. However, the APR does not truly measure the academic achievements by athletes because it does not measure actual academic grades. In addition, the APR is flawed because comparing universities based on its APR score is useless because the academic rigor of each university varies. The NCAA needs to form a new system that emphasizes actual academic success and GPA’s, rather than an athlete’s retention and eligibility, in order to effectively measure the academic progress of a university.

Obesity is preventable disease This week, the American Medical Association made the decision that obesity can now be classified as a disease. On some levels this could be considered a great thing for people who suffer from obesity, but on the other hand calling obesity a disease is also slightly horrifying. On a positive note, treating obesity like a disease will help change the way that doctors treat obese patients. Obesity expert Lou Arrone explained to CBS news that clinically obese patients cannot be simply expected to eat healthy and exercise in order to lose weight because their physical mechanisms have completely changed, and after a certain point the brain can no longer tell how much fat is stored in the body and how much fat is coming into the body. This is a scary thought, and hopefully by considering obesity a disease, doctors will be able to fight the disease through various medical therapies and surgeries. By calling obesity a disease, insurance will also be changed to include various treatments and surgeries that could help alleviate obesity.

LIVIN’ IN THE SOUTH ANNA WELLS

The fact that obesity will now be able to be treated as a medical disorder is great for those people who have obesity and are trying to change their lifestyle. However, it is appalling that the epidemic of obesity has become so widespread that it needed to come to this. Calling it a disease is worrisome because people could not be as worried about obesity. A person might get the idea that obesity is an issue that can just be written off on the insurance and solved medically, without doing anything themselves to solve the problem. Americans need to remember that obesity is a disease that can be fought and beaten at an early age. It is hard to pinpoint the exact cause

of obesity in the United States, but there are several factors that could have caused Americans to slide into one of the most obese countries in the world. Obesity starts young, so it is very important to monitor and watch what children eat at a young age. The good health habits that you learn as a child can carry over into adulthood, and this includes eating habits and lifestyle habits. It is important to have an active lifestyle, because part of the problem with obesity is the sedentary lifestyle that we now live. It is easy to play on the computer, but if you put forth a little more effort to go outside, whether to run, walk, jog or play a sport, not only are you fighting your chances against obesity but you are also giving yourself a healthier lifestyle. Obesity might now be considered a disease, but is a disease that we can fight ourselves and nip in the bud before it spreads. Wells is a senior English major from Bainbridge.

Forest fires are natural, necessary evil Destructive hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and wildfires are seen as tragedies by the human race. We watch in horror as they take lives, homes and businesses, and we brace ourselves for the worst when we end up in their paths. The Colorado wildfire is the most recent of these natural disasters. But the use of language like “tragedy” and “disaster” when discussing these events shows the modern world’s delusions about nature. We see a wildfire as a disaster. Nature sees the absence of a wildfire as a disaster. These purgative fires are business as usual in the Colorado region and others like it. Old growth must be cleared away to make room for new growth.

THE GREEN VIEW BRITTANY WALKER

It seems as though advancements in technology and increasing detachment from the natural world have led to unrealistic expectations. We expect nature to provide beautiful scenery where we can build our homes and enjoy outdoor recreation.

Conversely, we expect it to stop behaving as it has for millions of years if that behavior interferes with our lives. If nature decides to rebel and a wildfire spreads, we will fight it virulently with our helicopters and fire lines. Controlled burns are just a halfway compromise between nature and humanity. They do not satiate the natural process. These expansive forests are still innately ignitable and have no cognizance of the fact that a home was built in the middle of them. Stay out of their way or accept the risk you take by living there. At the time of writing this, the cause of the wildfires has not been determined. I would

not be surprised if it ends up being a lightning strike. If the catalyst is determined to have been a human error, it will still demonstrate the inevitability of fires like these. One spark, one burning leaf or one smoldering cigarette sets off a chain reaction, giving the entire ecosystem a fresh start and long term health. It is undeniably saddening that hundreds of people have lost their homes. But the unfortunate aspects of this event should be a reality check. We depend on nature, but we are also at the mercy of it. Walker is a senior sociology major with a specialization in sustainability from Brunswick. She is an officer in the Green Ambassadors.

We are cutting back but Role players are keys to victory Barack Obama is not THE Remember the sequester? How much press it got back in January and February saying how important it was for Congress and the President to come up with a budget to prevent the automatic spending cuts that would have taken place? Well the folks up in Washington failed to pass a budget, and there are certain entities that have taken quite a big hit in their budgets. Unemployment benefits are being cut, and military budgets have been scaled back roughly 20 percent. Housing vouchers for low-income citizens trying to make ends meet have been cut in certain states. With all of these cuts taking place, American citizens being forced to cut back on their own lifestyles through no fault of their own, you would think the president of the United States would do the same to at least show that he is trying understand what these people are going through. Instead the first family leaves for a weeklong trip to Africa next week. How much is said trip going to cost the taxpayers? Based on other presidential visits to this continent projections were made that it would cost anywhere between $70 and $100 million. Why is it that we as American citizens are supposed to be cutting back on our way of life, and the first family is taking a vacation across the globe that is going to cost millions and millions of dollars. Page designed by Alexandra Tobia

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION BLAIR MUTIMER

In the past presidents have always taken vacations, but the extent of the costliness that Obama’s trips have cost the American taxpayers grossly outweigh those that other presidents have expended. For example, Herbert Hoover spent much of his vacation time deep-sea fishing off the shores of Florida. President Ford spent his time golfing on Mackinac Island in Michigan. This being said, why is it necessary for President Obama and his family to take yet another lavish vacation? While working class citizens think of it as a treat to take modest vacations once every couple of years, President Obama has spent more time playing golf than he has meeting with the press. Just another example of how out of touch our leader is with the rest of the nation he claims to care so much about. Mutimer is a senior construction management major from Augusta. He is involved in the College Republicans and has worked on political campaigns in Augusta.

With game seven coming tonight, both the Spurs and Heat are looking for ways to eliminate the other team as quickly and efficiently as possible. Certain players for both sides need to step up in order to be declared NBA Champions. Tim Duncan and LeBron James can’t do it by themselves. Each player had monster performances during Game 6 and showed why both are future hall-of-famers. Duncan took hold of the game early, scoring 12 points in the first quarter. However, Duncan tired down the stretch and was forced to the bench as James seized control. LeBron had 16 fourth quarter points and powered the younger, faster Miami squad past the grizzled, San Antonio unit. For Game 7, each team has keys to winning the NBA title. For the Heat, the key is its perimeter shooters. In Game 6, Miami guards Mario Chalmers and Ray Allen combined for 29 points. Allen didn’t shoot particularly well, only hitting 38 percent of his field goals and only 33 percent from three. The only three-point attempt made from Allen was a big one though, hitting a game-tying corner three with only five seconds remaining in regulation. Chalmers tends to have games like this where he steps up and adds needed scoring in critical situations, and needs to continue his streaky shooting in order for Miami to remain champions. We’ve seen what Miami will get from Dwyane Wade in Game 7, and it most likely will not be the Superman-like performance that the Heat got in Game 4. On the other side of the court, Manu Ginobili has been mostly awful for San

SPORTS SCOOP

BRIAN STONE

Antonio this series. Ginobili showed flashes of his younger self in Game 5, scoring 24 points and adding 10 assists. But during Game 6, Manu turned back into a pumpkin, finishing the contest with almost as many turnovers (eight) as points (nine). Without the significant contributions from Danny Green or Gary Neal, the Spurs showed their advanced age during the end of Game 6, tiring out and letting Miami grab rebounds that eventually led to its demise. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich needs to spread minutes around in order to keep its stars fresh. Duncan’s aging knees can’t withstand another 45-minute performance. Role players such as Tiago Splitter and DeJuan Blair might have to step in and take some minutes from Duncan at the center position when Duncan goes to the bench. Ultimately, the Heat and Spurs cannot rely on its superstars to win the game. James and Duncan have done everything they can to support their team, but it is called a basketball team for a reason, and other players will have to step up and bring their A-game if they want a victory for their team.

Yeezus walks out of my iTunes “ ” Album review

West has returned, and this time with an album that boasts not only audacious sounds and angry lyrics, but an album that exudes narcissism and borderline blasphemy.

BY ANNA WELLS

The George-Anne staff

In his song, “Black Skinhead” Yeezy himself tells us, “I’m aware I’m a king,” and his ego only continues throughout the rest of his album “Yeezus.” Yes, that’s right, Kanye “Imma let you finish” West has returned, and this time with an album that boasts not only audacious sounds and angry lyrics, but an album that exudes narcissism and borderline blasphemy. The album contains remnants of his 2008 album, “8O8s & Heartbreak” with his troubled sounds and lyrics. With “Yeezus” Kanye presents a more raw version of the sounds originally heard on his “8O8s & Heartbreak.” We have evidence of Kanye creating incredible music and art, like his music video “Runaway” on 2010’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” featured a wonderful piano accompaniment with back-up ballet dancers, and gave the viewers something that was almost inspiring. With “Yeezus,” however, Kanye gives a seemingly deep, incredibly angry and almost disturbing album that seems to be a step out of line for the controversial rapper. Kanye performed two of his songs on Saturday Night Live and traded the ballet dancers for computerized Rottweilers barking in the darkness at the unsuspecting audience. This performance seems to about sum up “Yeezus” and the message it is trying to give. Through his overwhelming Page designed by Kelly Slyfield

amount of spiteful lyrics, Kanye seems to lose the message of his music and no song exemplifies this more than that of “Black Skinhead.” With its visceral screams and African-style drums, the track gives listeners insight into the troubled mind of West. It’s as if he has no other way to release his emotions

than through a series of primal yells. Perhaps the song that sums up “Yeezus” and shows its real colors is “ I am a God.” The songs title brings emotions from horrifying to laughable, because it’s quite

possible that Kanye truly believes this about himself. Kanye raps about everything from threesomes to croissants in this track, all while maintaining the status quo by throwing in a few pixelated screams.

If that doesn’t quite make the mark for you, maybe the rap conversation between Yeezus and Jesus will hit the spot, because according to Kanye, Jesus has nothing better to do than stack millions with Kanye West. Overall, the album does integrate some new sounds that are not often heard on the radio but are soon to catch on since the release of this album. Its combination of classic beats, electronic music and rap makes it catchy to the ears at most. While this album might have been fun for Kanye, it’s just not as much fun for the rest of us.

‘Man of Steel’ finds its place in the sun Film review BY ALEX LASALLE The George-Anne staff

“Man of Steel” is a very good movie, but there’s a bigger question. Is it a good Superman movie? One of America’s iconic comic book heroes has a strong outing here, and the movie does many things right. First off, the casting is impeccable. Henry Cavill spends more time being Kal-El – his original Kryptonian name – and Clark Kent, the boy from Kansas, than he does Superman. Amy Adams plays a Lois Lane that is capable of more than being a simple damsel in distress. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane excel as the Kent family. Russell Crowe impresses mightily in the role of Jor-El. Michael Shannon plays an intense General Zod, and he does it well. It would have been easy to make him some sort of cosmic racist and be done with it, but Shannon’s acting and

Page designed by Kelly Slyfield

some solid writing add more depth to the character. He’s still the bad guy, of course. “Man of Steel” also does a good job separating itself from other comic book movies. The movie never forgets that Superman is an alien, not of this world, and vastly different from the like of Batman or Captain America, who are simply extraordinary humans. The action also serves as a reminder of how alien Superman is. Superman and his foes, who are also from Krypton, punch, kick and fly into each other with force. No gadgets or Iron Man-esque acrobatics are to be found here. For the most part, Zach Snyder handles this action well. On the other hand, one begins to wonder how much property damage Superman is willing to cause. By the time the

fighting is over, much of the city is gray and smoldering rubble. And therein lies the main weakness in “Man of Steel.” The movie is as cold as steel. There’s very little brightness in a movie that is about a character

that has traditionally worn a bright red cape and underpants. The doom-and-gloom approach worked wonders for Christopher Nolan’s Batman films, but feels wrong for Metropolis. “Man of Steel” is solid, entertaining sci-fi action, but it might not be the most super film possible.

Men’s soccer schedule released Soccer BY RANDALL HAMPTON The George-Anne staff

The Georgia Southern University men’s soccer team will spend a full season playing under the lights at Eagle Field in 2013 with 17 games total, eight of them coming at home. “We are very excited about the 2013 season,” head coach Kevin Kennedy said. “We feel like we have put together a very challenging schedule and are pleased to be hosting eight matches at Eagle Field. Our schedule includes some continued rivalries, but we have also added some great games out of conference that will test us, with trips to Duke and our season finale at James Madison.” The Eagles’ 17-game schedule includes nine away games and a highly anticipated non-conference match against Georgia State University at home. Before the 2013 season kicks off, GSU will play two exhibition games against North Florida University and Central Florida University on Aug. 17 and 24th in the sunshine state. Last year GSU won the 2012 Southern Conference/ Big South Challenge, and beginning Aug. 30 the team will defend that title at Eagle Field. Opening day of the 2013 tournament, which is part of Alumni Day for the Eagles, features a neutral site game between Wofford College and Gardner-Webb University at 5:00 p.m. before the Eagles host Winthrop at 7:30 p.m. The final day of the tournament starts with Wofford playing Winthrop at noon, followed by a 2:30 p.m. match between GSU and Gardner-Webb. Following the SoCon/Big South Challenge, GSU will hit the road for five games including a trip to Duke on Sept. 10. GSU has played Duke twice and has only scored one goal total in the games. The Eagles will play Mercer University on Sept. 15th. GSU will be looking to change its luck against the Bears considering the team has dropped the last four meetings by a combined score of 5-1. GSU will be back at home on Sept. 24 for a match against Presbyterian College before finally beginning SoCon play on Sunday, Sept. 29, against Davidson College. GSU pulled out a 2-0 victory in the last meeting between the teams. A week after that, the Eagles will host Wofford on Saturday, Oct. 5, for the 2013 White Out game. GSU has owned Wofford in the overall series with a 14-3-4 record. The 2013 “Battle of the GSUs” will happen on Friday, Oct. 10 with the 2013 Junior Eagle Club game at 5 p.m. The Eagles go back on the road on Tuesday, Oct. 15, Page designed by Brittni Favorite

with a trip to Elon. Senior Day for GSU will be Saturday, Oct. 19, against Appalachian State University. The Eagles have lost the last three contests against the Mountaineers, but Senior Day could give the guys the boost they need to get over the hump. The Eagles close out the 2013 regular season with three straight road games. Showdowns with University of North Carolina at Greensboro on Oct. 26 and Furman University on Oct. 29 will wrap-up the SoCon portion of the schedule. GSU plays its final game of the regular season on Nov. 3 at James Madison University starting at 1 p.m. GSU has hosted the opening round of the SoCon Tournament the last two years, a trend the Eagles will look to continue in 2013. The first round of the 2013 SoCon Tournament is set for Nov. 9 and 10 with the semifinals and finals set for Nov. 15 and 17 at Furman’s Stone Stadium in Greenville, S.C.

As one door closes, another opens up

Brown begins new journey Football BY WILL CHENEY The George-Anne staff

Georgia Southern University senior running back Robert Brown’s productive college football career has come to an end after he was medically disqualified in June due to multiple injuries. Brown, one of head football coach Jeff Monken’s first signings, won the Region I AAAA Offensive player of the year in 2009 at Westside High School in Macon, Ga. When Brown visited GSU as a recruit, he knew it was where he wanted to play college football. “When I came to visit Georgia

Southern – of course I visited several other schools – I felt as if I knew the players as well as my own brothers. It made it like a home away from home,” Brown said. Brown hit the ground running as a freshman, rushing for 122 yards in his collegiate debut back in 2010. If that was not enough to solidify the young star, Brown ran for 178 yards and a score in the second round of the playoffs in the upset of College of William & Mary. Brown was named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman team. Brown became the first freshman to rush for more than 1,000 yards since GSU legend Adrian Peterson in 1998, and the first true freshman to do so since

Joe Ross in 1987. Brown ran for 937 yards in his sophomore campaign in 2011. His production earned him Second Team All-SoCon as a sophomore. In a shortened junior season, Brown ran for 122 yards on 14 carries before being sidelined for the remainder of the season due to injuries. Brown may not be playing this season, but he will not stray far. He will be taking a sideline position with the team in 2013. With his career coming to a close, Brown will spend his senior year, GSU’s last season as members of the SoCon, on the sidelines. Brown, however, has managed to stay positive throughout the ordeal. “It opened my eyes. I was able

Robert Brown to help players out when they needed help. They always came to me to ask for advice and if I could see what they were doing wrong and stuff like that,” Brown said. “It

allowed me to see the aspect of my life as far as being a future coach, actually being able to help kids to better themselves, whether it’s a player or anybody else.” Out of his entire career at GSU, Brown could not pick a single favorite moment. Rather, the entire experience itself. “Just being a part of this team, being a Georgia Southern Eagle, being able to talk to the coaches and interact with the other players. Being a part of Georgia Southern period. It’s a great program and I was blessed to get an opportunity to come here,” Brown said. Brown is unsure of what the future holds, but with his GSU background he believes the only way to go is up.
