' fi. If ' I if Q: ' Q. c . Athens is a transient city. The total population is 19,801 and 14,400 are college students, this makes them an integral part of the community. According to Kenny Kerr, owner of Kerr Distributing, The stu- dents play a big role in the commu- nity. A lot that is happening in govemment would be handled dif- ferently if the students weren't here. The city's merchants are in- terested in the student's reactions, in their moods and thinking. They fthe merchantsj are interested in the new trends. The students keep you young, he said. lf the students weren't here, I wouldn't be in business, said Kim ens - a cit of Farmer, owner of Farleys, and a 1978 O.U. graduate. The students are the bread and butter of this town, Farmer added. Athens is a city of contrasts. Tranquil hills surround busy streets. The appalachian tradition remains alive although the univer- sity supplies a constant influx of new ideas and cultures. Not only is the city full of con- trasts, but so are the people who live here. The university popula- tion shifts with the academic year, while the merchants and townies remain as ever steadying influence. Definitions of what life is in Athens are as varied as the people who live here. Athens has an inti- COI'llZI'2lStS macy, said Sandra Haggerty, a journalism professor, People tend to get to know each other. Life in Athens is a sense of community. I work here and live here, it's all rolled into one, she said. According to Dean John O'Neal, Athens is a positive and interest- ing place. If you're satisfied with a university community, you'd have a tough time finding a nicer place, O'Neal said. Although Athens is small, there are activities tailored to fit everyone's life style. Life in Athens can accomodate practically all life styles, you can bar hop or take advantage of the theater. There are art exhibits and the concert se- ries, or you can retreat into a pure educational atmosphere, he said. 241- - 1 '. ' 521,35 34: ' V: tf-fy- ,,.,:. 5 '-v. - or sg nf..
