Student accused of felony shoplifting at clothing store

Well it's been awhile since I've written a crime story, but it's like riding a bike — you never forget how to do it. (Or something along those lines, at least)

We had a student at UGA who was arrested and charged with felony theft by shoplifting after a worker at a downtown clothing store suspected her and another man of taking nearly $700 in items.

Univ. searches for Zinkhan's replacement

First paper of the summer semester was a success. We had the expected glitches and setbacks, but all-in-all, I think everything went well.

My first night officially as managing editor was a little nerve wracking, just because I didn't want to mess anything up. But I think I did a good job and I think things will run more smoothly next week and will continue to get easier as the summer progresses.

The news editor and I teamed up for a story on how UGA plans to fill the vacant position left by George Zinkhan. It was difficult to get in touch with all the parties needed to give us a coherent answer, but we pulled through and I'm happy with the finished product.
