History
According to Greek mythology, Pandora, which means "she who has all gifts," opened the box in which all the evils of the world had been suppressed. The evils of the world flew out to plague mankind, leaving only Hope inside the box.
In 1886, representatives of the eight existing fraternities on campus worked together to create the first yearbook at the University of Georgia. The yearbook was a collection of the Greeks' roles and of their activities on campus. It was a paperback book, much smaller in size than ours today, gving the histories of each class, of the school, and of the organizations at the University of Georgia. |
The Pandora has changed greatly since its first edition. Over 300 pages full of photographs and features depict the ever-changing life of students at UGA.
Student Media Policy
The student newspaper, The Red and Black, is the primary student
publication on campus but is operated independently from the
University. The student-run radio station, WUOG, operates under FCC
guidelines, as well as under University guidelines outlined in the
station policy manual. The Pandora yearbook is produced by students,
who handle all editorial responsibilities. Institutional oversight is
limited to fiscal matters. Students working with student media are
expected to conduct themselves as prescribed by professional codes of
ethics.
