I just do not think the University and the School of C&J would allow their students to be part of a Gossip Sheet. Their reputation is on the bottom line, so if they had doubts they would sponsor their own paper.

Let me tell you a story son. Sit down, make yourself comfortable, pour a glass of lemonade. Wife makes it real nice.

Back in 98, or was it 99, it was before the Great War that began in 2001. I was a Grady student working the summer at the Red and Black, in their old space on Jackson, across from Toppers.

The editor hands me an assignment about the construction going on at Sanford Stadium. Word on the street is they cut down some old oaks, just to bring equipment in.

So I talk to the architect, I talk to a facilities guy, I put a call in to AD Vince Dooley.

Dooley calls me back. I'm at the office.

"Deeprig, call on Line 4. It's Vince Dooley"

So I fix my hair, check my breath, and pick up the phone.

30 minutes later, Dooley has explained to me that 5 big oaks were cut down to get construction equipment to the site, but they planted x-hundred trees around campus to replace them, and have since been awarded by the Arboretum Society of America for all the trees on campus.

So I included all that in the story I submitted to the editor.

Guess which part of the story got left out when it hit the streets.

Guess who never spoke to me again.

frick the Red and Black.

If you are done with your lemonade son, you best go on about your business. We'll be seein' ya.
