Two University students were arrested last week and charged with felony possession of cocaine.

Police arrested Timothy Sanders Wallis, 22, and Julianne Robbins Tamplin, 22, after midnight Saturday at the Classic Center.

Wow, what a way to flush your academic career and future prospects down the drain. She is listed as an officer on DZ's UGA site, I don't know if he is a member of a fraternity or not... She looks devastated in her mug shot! (as she should!)

Sounds like he may have been a KA as it was at one of their partys.

Not a good way to pay for college.

Guess they can earn a degree in the Pen.

How damn stupid can they have been? Well, stupid enough and makes each GLO look bad!:o

It's ironic because she's listed as their social chair....

They're not going to go the penitentiary. It doesn't say that they are dealers for God's sake! Is that your idea of a joke? If so, I don't find this funny. I, personally find the whole thing really sad!

She does look awful in the mug shot, I'm sure what's going on in her mind is, "what am I going to tell my family, friends, etc."

I may be totally wrong, don't know the kids at all, but they are probably social users who NEVER dreamed they'd get busted. While I hope they (and their friends) learned a costly lesson, I also hope that this doesn't define the rest of their life.

It's not sad at all. What is sad about someone getting arrested for something illegal?

And no, they aren't going to prison. I believe the article says something about probation for 1st time offenders.

I think she means that it's sad that they feel they have to use cocaine at all.

What I mean, is the whole thing is sad. Yes, it's sad that they were doing drugs at all, it's sad that they were so stupid to do them in a public place, it's sad that they were arrested, and it's sad that it could detrimentally affect their future.

As a parent, I have learned to never say in a high and mighty tone, "My kids would NEVER do that." Because as soon as you do, karma bites you in the butt and your kids get busted doing it, from stupid things when they were little, to drinking in high school, to God forbid, doing drugs.

I have told my kids that I know they will make mistakes, just to please not make any life altering mistakes, the big three being:

1. don't flunk out of school
2. don't get anyone pregnant
and 3. don't get anything above a class C misdemeanor.

But, if they did, I wouldn't love them any less, and these two have families who love them. I don't think having a laugh at the expense of others' sadness is a nice thing.

What is that German word? Schadenfraud or something?

How noble.

Schadenfreude.

Schadenfreude.

And I knew what you meant, and I agree.

No, Realistic

Will KA get in any trouble on campus or through nationals you think?

You can be realistic without appearing to have such low expectations.

Wow, this happened while I was there, it was right after the Homecoming game (which UGA won btw). I hung out with one of her sisters for most of the evening as it turns out...

Since you don't know me, you don't know that my big 3 is strictly said tongue in cheek to my kids. Since you don't know us, you don't know that our family's expectations of each other are extremely high, and I have been very fortunate that my kids have turned out great and are successful.

But, I also believe the old adage of "there, but for the grace of God, go I." I have been blessed that I haven't had to deal with a "problem child"

I know a lot of parents who are blind sided by their kid's mistakes. Most of the time, the kids are good kids who made a stupid choice. I can forgive that, and I have sympathy for them and for their folks. I also don't judge them as BAAAAD people who should be forever tarnished by their actions, especially when the mistake was made when they were young and dumb.
