UPB has traditionally held the block party in front of Centennial Place and the Main Dining Commons but decided to relocate it this year to the stadium in an effort to include other organizations.

Our View New advisors are too late Georgia Southern University added 25 new professional advisors to start the semester, which is too little too late for many upperclassmen. Many students at GSU complain about how their advisors either did not provide solid advising that would get the students on the right track to graduation on time. While many students enjoy college and its atmosphere, staying in school longer than necessary is an expensive venture. Adding these professional advisors will hopefully help students get out of college faster, avoiding extra semesters of debt that hinder a student's post-graduate life. While GSU is still attempting to use the "Large Scale, Small Feel" tagline to attract students, it must realize that it is important to make sure that the large scale part of the university has enough resources to make the small feel happen. This means bringing in more advisors or even faculty to keep advisor-to-student and professor-to- student ratios down to a level that is manageable and beneficial to the student. The degree you don't want now Hopefully bringing in these 25 dedicated Degrees are important. I get that. They many you have.

He also helped create the holes that allowed GSU to register two 1,000-yard rushers. The skill positions get the glory, but games are won and lost in the trenches.

If Heyward has trouble getting off the line of scrimmage SSU might not be able to find a rhythm on offense. If Westbrooks does his job, and the defensive line makes Bostick uncomfortable, Heyward should do minimal damage in the season opener.
