THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

1. University of Georgia Police took out a warrant Thursday for the arrest of Georgia football player Alec Ogletree on a misdemeanor charge of theft by taking.
UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson told the AJC that the warrant stems from a June 15 incident in which a motorcycle scooter helmet, valued at $35, was taken from the Rankin Smith Center on campus.
The helmet was found in Ogletree’s possession Thursday, Williamson said.
2. The Michigan State basketball team is again dealing with off-court issues of one of its guards.
Junior Korie Lucious was arrested early Monday morning on a charge of operating while intoxicated, according to records obtained by The Detroit News on Tuesday.
Lucious was pulled over at 2:20 a.m. on Charles Street near Linden Street in East Lansing and given a breathalyzer test. He registered at .09, just above Michigan's legal limit of .08. He was released on his own recognizance.
3. A Grizzly football player landed himself in jail overnight for drunk driving. It's the second time in a month a Griz player was charged with a misdemeanor.
4. An Oregon State University offensive lineman has been dismissed from the team after police say they found him naked and intoxicated in a stranger's home and had to use stun guns to take him into custody.
Corvallis police say they received the call about a naked intruder early Sunday.
Officer Christine Peterson says responding officers ordered 19-year-old Tyler Patrick Thomas of Kalispell, Mont., to get on the ground. She says Thomas instead dropped into a three-point stance like a football player and lunged at the officers. At that point, Peterson says, two officers fired their stun guns.
"I think he just had too much to drink and got a little rowdy," said Jeremy Noring, who awoke to Thomas inside his home.
