Former writing and linguistics department chair Randall McClure was arrested and charged with a felony, theft by deception, on Nov. 14 before being released on bond. McClure's lawyer, Page Pate, said he has been unable to reach Georgia Southern University in regard to the case. "It appears to him and to me that there was some sort of misunderstanding with the administration of the validity of the particular expense, and what we're going to do now is obtain records from the university to review those records," said Pate. Evidence leading up to his warrant was gathered between Sept. 30 and the Nov. 14 arrest, according to the police report. RI haven't seen any warrants or any evidence of the case at all," said Pate. "It's my understanding that he doesn't owe them anything. Whether there was a reimbursement or offset, I don't know the facts of that."

VIEWS 4 Thursday, November 17, 2011 The George-Anne

Our View aw**** Plays need more student support Last Thursday Georgia Southern University students attended "Shakespeare on Trial" at The Averitt Center for the Arts. The play, both written and produced by Jeremy Webb, was a one-act comedy that accused William Shakespeare of being dull and out-of-date. Webb's goal of the show was to show all the sides of Shakespeare including the humor, the passion and most importantly the entertainment. This national play put on by Webb was a great production that students shared with the community. On the other hand, GSU currently has two plays in rotation, "Big Love" and "Taming of the Shrew", which will both be running until Nov. 18th. These plays are put on by students and receive support from the university but also deserve a lot more from students. Most of the plays students see on stage at GSU are put together primarily by students and contain a great amount of preparation and dedication from the students Registration issues must be solved whose names are behind these plays.

Weekly SGA Column Advisement stands as real issue

This past Thursday there was an article discussing a new academic policy that is being looked at by Student Government Association. The article did not go into much detail so I'd like to clarify. College of Business Administration senators expressed in our meeting last week that they were advised in roughly the first two weeks of class. This was in no way a prescription for other colleges. Also, the issue is really about advisement, not registration and deals with students being advised before the have fit within their degree, but when withdrawal date. registering they could not get into that class The policy was something I came up so they chose another without paying close with based on various concerns I have attention to their curriculum. received from students over the past few A common case is that in many weeks. degrees there are different class options to Students had accidentally registered for choose from to fulfill a specific section and classes that did not fit within their degree sometimes they state that a student must program and did not realize it until their pick from "Upper Division Classes"., advisor had pointed it out to them when This means that they must choose they want to get advised for the spring. a class that is a 3000 level or higher, But due to their late advisement which something that many students are not was past the withdrawal date, they were aware of.

"Festival of Trees is a very family orientated event. Different local businesses like Lowes, Wal-Mart, K-mart, Big-Lots and others donated Christmas trees, so other organizations from the community as well as at Georgia Southern can decorate them," said Kelly Pye, the special project coordinator of the continuing education center. "Individuals can come out and purchase raffle tickets -to win trees, tree skits, wreaths, gingerbread houses and mini- tree decorated with gift certificates for local Christian Washington/STAFF venues," said Pye.
