Flat Beach: Fewer students attend Georgia-Florida celebration
Upon arriving at East Beach on St. Simons Island Friday, University of Georgia students were greeted by minions and aliens, rows of porta potties, Episcopal clergymen, environmental conservationists and a wall of police officers.
But unlike last year, 3,000 fewer people were among those arriving at the annual party that precedes the Georgia-Florida rivalry matchup, often known as Frat Beach.
