Singers, dancers, poets and other talents brought their all to the Russell Union ■ Ballroom Friday evening as Positive Moves Music Club debuted its first ever "GSU's Got Talent" show. Performing an original song while playing the guitar, Evan Morris, sophomore communications major, took home the win for "GSU's Got Talent." "I'm pretty ecstatic, I'm really surprised and I'm glad. I didn't think I was going to win," Morris said. The road to claiming the prize was not a very easy one for Morris. During his performance, Morris broke one of his guitar strings but kept strumming and singing along. Jerome Wesley Davis, freshman public relations major and student leader of Lindsay Hartmann/The George-Anne PMMC, served as the show's host.

Tradition is something that is a huge part of Georgia Southern University Athletics, and on Feb. 18, 2012, GSU lost a tradition that is special to many students here, but especially athletes. On the corner of Tillman Road and Kennedy Street stands a historic restaurant by the name of Snooky's, and this restaurant has seen it's fair share of local stars and national figureheads come through it's doors. One of these people is none other than former player of this university and current head coach of the men's basketball team Charlton Young.
