Coach Mark Richt came to the University of Georgi and immediately began making changes to bring back traditions that made the Georgia football program so legendar}- in the past. The players now sport siher britches and red and white helmets with dog bone stickers that tlie coaches use as rewards for outstanding work. The fans are now able to get up close and personal to express their appreciation to the Bulldog playe: as they enter the field through the Tate Center parking lot in a new traditior appropriately named the Dawg Walk. These new traditions mix well with the tried and true favorites of tailgating, the endless sea of red and black, as well as the cheerleaders. Hairy Dawg, and the essential UGA VI to ensure that Saturday football games at the Uni ersity of Georgia are memories that won ' t soon be forgotten. by Abbi Masters ♦» : 3r YCAL l V ' Mil.

A formal announcement of the pro- posed D.W. Brooks pedestrian mall that would make a smoother transition from South Campus to North. Having seen both the before and after versions of the cam- pus, as well as everything in between, current UGA stu- dents will be sure to appreci- ate the improvements. The demand for parking spaces around campus is addressed throughout the l laster Plan. photos by Amber Jarrard 5: The Student Learning Center construction site is one of the most visible signs of change on campus this year, photo by Abbi Masters It ' s hard to ignore the cranes that dominate the horizon on Sanford Drive. If you ha e been anywhere near the Tate Center vou have witnessed the beginning of UGA ' s slow transormation into a walking campus. Solutions to parking and traffic are only the beginning. According to the Master Plan, South Campus will be completely redone to resemble North Campus, and Lumpkin Street will be rerouted to alig;n with Pulaski Street. The new plans call for Georgian style buildings that would not top four stories, and more modern dorms to encciurage students to li e on campus. Although the changes are slated to take place over a thirty year span, some alterations, such as Herty Field can already be seen. The UGA we know now will not be the UGA we know as alumni. Some of us are okay with it. Others would not change a thing. However we feel about it, it is clear that President Adams and other campus planners have big plans for UGA over the next couple of decades. by Erin Hughes Top of page: The progress of construcion is visible across the University ' s Campus Circle.
