Our View Without document, but not ambition Undocumented students are the same as documented students. They need the same financial assistance, if not more. True, being an undocumented student is something that should be rectified through citizenship. A students citizenship status, though, should not affect their access to a quality education. Debra Sabia, a political science professor, is trying to help these students with that very problem with the Student Scholarship Fund. Even documented students need more assistance with the rising tuition cost that coincide with GSU s growth.

Many students who are documented might feel that this is Marcus Barkley/STAFF an unfair allocation of money that should go to help them, but that could be said about everyone.

Engagement planned the yard sale to allow GSU students to sell any unwanted items before the end of the year. Walton said it is "an opportunity to provide students a venue to sell thier unwanted items as they depart Statesboro either for the summer or due to graduation." Participants wishing to sell items will have to register for a space and will be required to pay a registration fee, however, GSU students can register for free. GSU faculty and staff are required to pay $15 and community member must pay $25. The students themselves are also the source of the items being sold, said Carter Walton, assistant director of Student Activities. "The items come from the individuals participating," he said. "They are selling their own personal items for their own profit." Walton said the yard sale is also a way to connect the community and GSU. "In addition, the consideration was that any money raised from registration fees and unwanted items would be donated to a local or national charity," said Walton. Students will not only have the chance to sell items, but also purchase items. "I think the community-wide yard sale is a great event that adds to a list of campus events which bridge gaps between students, faculty, staff and Statesboro and local community Andrew Partain and Ken Colyer/STAFF members," said Walton.

ggSOOHUTS 10 Thursday, April 28, 2011 The George-Anne The Underground Revue comes to center stage By ARIA GABOL Assistant arts editor

The Russell Union Rotunda will be filled with poetry and music on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. featuring the Underground Revue poetry show. It will feature Georgia Southern University students and alumni showcasing their poetry and music. "The inspiration for the name of the show came from the fact that we are all 'underground' poets," said senior graphic design major Jessica Lester. "Mainly because our name hasn't got out there in so long, it is pretty much a resurrection of our poetry scene here on campus." The reoccurring series began in 2006 in Statesboro and throughout the years has moved to campus. "We decided on the Rotunda because it is a open, laid back environment "and the acoustics are way better," said Lester. "The show is about student artists showcasing their work and getting their names out there." Photos courtesy of Jessica Lester There are regular performers that The Backpack Poets consists of John-Bernard (left), Kai Taylor (center), and Jessica Lester (right). The three met in 2008 at a poetry show, where perform at every show, including Bernard decided to take Taylor and Lester on and mentor them. the "Backpack Poets," Isreal (Jessica Lester), Jonah (Kai Taylor), and John- "I am more nervous about poetry'' not spoken word.

The Heart and Hands Clinic held a concert to raise funds for their facilities at Georgia Southern University last night at the Russell Union Ballroom at 7 p.m. "Why can't we all have an equal chance at healthcare, at hope, and at life?" said Andres Montes, CEO and founder of the Hearts and Hands Clinic. He gave an inspiring speech to the students who attended the Heart and Hands Benefit Concert last night. The host for the show was Carter Walden, assistant director of Student Entertainment, and he introduced the variety of student performances. The GSU student violin quartet started off the event and was followed by Kerry Greenstein, assistant dean of students, who presented a check of $1,181.00 to Montes for the Hearts and Hands Clinic. Freshman Elgin Moore, information technology major, got everyone in the audience on their feet in front of the stage for the beginning of the performances. "I've performed in front of my fellow students in a previous show Lindsey Hartmann/STAFF that Georgia Southern hosted and "Born-Forty," a local band who is competing in the Battle of the Bands this weekend, performed an acoustic cover of "Lollipop" by Lil' Wayne and it was awesome.
