U. of Georgia holds memoria
service for 11 student death
ATHENS, Ga, (AP) —The Univer
sity of Georgia student newspaper is
usually filled on Monday mornings
with stories of overzealous weekend
partying or sports results. But this se
mester, death has pushed it all
off the front page.
Since January, 11 young
students on this campus of
30,000 have died of various
causes — a heart attack, can
cer, a drug overdose, a wreck
on the way home for Easter and
a fraternity prank gone wrong.
The campus has been shak
en by so much death among
an assistant vice president whose job is
to offer the university’s condolences to
parents and friends of students w ho die.
The University of Georgia has has
never lost more than eight students in
“Every weekend they
were dying. It's so hard
to believe.”
— Travis Denison
member of the university's student government
those so young. Three weeks ago, the
death toll was eight, and school offi
cials scheduled a memorial service at
sunset Monday. Since then, three more
students have died.
“It’s profoundly sad,” said Rick Rose,
one term. Any more than three in a se
mester is out of the ordinary.
At Monday’*; sen ice, the chapel bell,
usually silent except for victorious foot
ball Saturdays and late-night student
pranks, was to toll once for each lost life.
