Graduation Adderall: The Dead Week Dosage will lack featured speaker By Taylor Holland Senior Staff Reporter tlholland1@crimson.ua.edu Oftentimes, major Read colleges and univer- more sities invite well- stories known figures to in The deliver a commence- Graduate on Friday ment address to their graduating class – a speech congratulating graduates on their accomplishments and offering advice for what’s ahead. The University of Alabama has no such address. It hasn’t always been that way, however. Prior to May 2007, every graduation ceremony at the Capstone featured a notable commencement speaker, such as long-time university administrator John Blackburn, award-winning actress Sela Ward, the U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Korea Thomas Hubbard and James T. Stephens, the former president of the board of EBSCO, to name a few. It was the second of Stephens’ 2007 addresses, however, that ultimately put an end to the annual deliverance of the commencement speech. Stephens followed in the footsteps of those before him, challenging students to do better than previous generations, and then he began addressing America’s military involvement in Iraq. “We...are now engaged aggressively

Building a champion By Marquavius Burnett Sports Reporter msburnett1@crimson.ua.edu Five years ago, the Alabama women’s golf team was never considered a threat in the Southeastern Conference. But that was before current head coach Mic Potter arrived at the Capstone. Now, Alabama can call itself an SEC champion for the first time ever, as the Crimson Tide captured the title on April 18 on its home course. “The opportunity to do it here in Tuscaloosa in front of our hometown fans made it that much more special,” said. “I was just amazed at the community support and the number of people out there at the event. If we would have been anywhere else I don’t think it would have had nearly the impact as it did to win the first one in Alabama history in Tuscaloosa.”

The University Singers will perform a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on May 3. “This is the first time the University Singers have ever performed at Carnegie Hall,” said Wesley King, a junior majoring in vocal and choral music education and a threeyear member of the group. The Singers were invited to sing at Carnegie Hall after their conductor, John Ratledge, agreed to conduct at the hall’s biennial National High School Choral Festival. Ratledge is a professor of music, the area coordinator of graduate choral conducting and director of choral activities at the University. “We were really surprised

a semester with a strong finish. Some students, however, have a more difficult time sticking to a schedule and carrying out responsibilities. Prescription medication can sometimes be the answer. Taylor Robison, a freshman majoring in business, said she began taking a prescription of Adderall in the past month and has noticed an improvement in her ability to stay on task during Dead Week. “I feel a lot more focused, and it’s easier to pay attention in class and take better notes,” Robison said. “It’s definitely helped me. I can get up early and start studying, and when I get in the library, I can stay there.” People with attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, A.D.D. and A.D.H.D respectively, are

known to deviate from schedules and lose focus from day to day. Adderall and Vyvanse are medications commonly prescribed to treat these two disorders, and students who manifest symptoms of A.D.D. or A.D.H.D. can visit the Student Health Center to be properly diagnosed and granted a prescription. Kristine Wnuk, a junior majoring in psychology, said her prescription for Adderall has enabled her to focus more during her day as well. “I’m really focused, and I feel like I want to get my work done,” Wnuk said. Wnuk said the intake of her prescription for Adderall has not increased during Dead Week, despite the stress of preparing for finals. Dr. Mark Thomas at the Student Health Center diagnoses students and said a prescription such as Adderall is a safe medication with minimal

side effects, provided that it is used properly under the supervision of a doctor. Thomas said without treatment, people with the disorder are three times more likely to get in a car wreck, abuse substances, fall into depression, develop suicidal thoughts or drop out of school. Thomas said the medications to treat the disorder yield positive results for those who show the corresponding symptoms, but for those who are not properly diagnosed by a doctor, the medications can worsen an existing ailment such as a learning disability or an underlying heart condition. Tim Hebson, dean of students and former director of judicial affairs, said offenses regarding Adderall are more severe than offenses regarding either marijuana or alcohol. “The only one that is a felony is the one concerning Adderall,” Hebson said. “It could subject you to possibly being suspended

from the University.” According to the list of common sanctions featured on the judicial affairs website, sharing a prescription of Adderall with someone else is an automatic felony, whereas possession of alcohol or marijuana in small amounts is a misdemeanor. Hebson said he would not be surprised if students use controlled stimulants such as Adderall in higher quantity during Dead Week in order to focus more attentively on their studies. “Students don’t tell us that because it would be illegal,” Hebson said. “But I wouldn’t be surprised if it did escalate during finals time.”

Wnuk said people who know she has a prescription for Adderall approach her frequently in order to ask for some of it to help with cramming. “Anyone who knows I have it, they’ll ask [for it],” Wnuk said. Hebson said a prescription for Adderall is designed for a person on an individual basis that takes factors such as weight into consideration to determine a healthy dosage. As such, he emphasized the importance of visiting a doctor to acquire a safe prescription. “We want students to know that if they need Adderall, they can get a prescription the right way,” Hebson said.

Students find hot study spots for exam week By Brittney Knox Staff Reporter bsknox@crimson.ua.edu

as she got an early start on studying for finals. “I like the second floor of Gorgas because it is not too loud or too quiet, and it keeps me from studying in my room,” she said. If she has a lot of studying that requires intense concentration, she prefers the fourth floor, where the designated noise level is silent during Dead Week and finals, she said. “Some other good places to study would be Bruno Library, and a good off-campus place is Barnes and Noble,” she said. Tom Wilson, the associate dean of libraries, said they have heard good responses from students about the noise level stipulations in Gorgas during Dead Week and finals. “Students really appreciate the smaller amount of activity as you go up on higher levels in Gorgas,” he said. “For students that have collaborative projects and would be engaged in louder activity should stay on the lower levels. Students that need quieter study typically go to [the fourth floor] in Gorgas.” While many students choose to study in Gorgas, Carly Taffet, a sophomore majoring in restaurant and hotel management, said she loves the atmosphere of Starbucks. “I like to study in Starbucks because of the coffee, as well as the music,” she said. “It is a more social and open environment, which is different from the library.” While some students may enjoy the Quad for studying, Taffet said she studied there

Some students, like Heather Grant, a junior majoring in biology, prepare for exams during downtime at work. “Tonight, I will be working overnight and it will probably be pretty dead, so I plan to get some studying done,” she said.

Wilson said the libraries are seeing an increase in people utilizing their study areas. Rodgers, in particular, is open 24 hours a day, five days a week during the school year. “We chose to start the 24/5 location at Rodgers library, because it has one main entrance, which is easier to secure than Gorgas would be, and it is a more contained space,” he said. He said more computers and software will be available to students in the fall.

Medical Center said. Blake Thomas, 23, was riding his bicycle through the intersection of Marr’s Spring Drive and Campus Drive when he was struck by the vehicle. “The cyclist … was taken to [DCH] Regional Medical Center for treatment,” said University spokeswoman Cathy Andreen. “UAPD is currently reviewing details of the accident.” Thomas, a senior majoring in economics, remains in intensive care, his girlfriend Mia Marcks said. DCH spokesman Brad Fisher confirmed Thomas’ critical state but could make no further comment due to patient confidentiality rules. Marcks, 20, said the course of events isn’t yet entirely clear, but she has an idea of what happened. “What I was told is that he was going down the hill [behind the Ferguson Center], and the car didn’t see him at the intersection and it pulled out, and Blake hit the right front fender, then hit the windshield and went over the car and landed on his back.” “Bret [a friend who was cycling with Thomas] called me while they were waiting on the paramedics,” she said. “I was freaking out, hoping he

was OK. He said [Thomas] was breathing but not responsive. He was lying there with his eyes open. I was scared as hell.

Due to the magnitude of his injuries, Thomas currently requires breathing assistance. “He’s on a breathing apparatus right now because of the bleeding in his lungs, but [the doctors] said they were going to try to get that out today,” she said. “Last night, he had a tube [down his throat], and he was heavily sedated.” Thomas also sustained a severe concussion and a skull fracture, Marcks said. “They told us that he’ll be OK. [The doctors] kept saying that over and over,” she said. “But they scanned him from head to toe to make sure he was OK, because they didn’t already know he had internal bleeding.” Jake Smith, a New College sophomore, witnessed the accident.

I don’t know if [Thomas] wasn’t paying attention or if the [driver] wasn’t.” As he dialed 9-1-1, Smith said, Thomas was bleeding from the head. Meanwhile, Thomas’ friend and fellow senior, Bret Reynolds, received medical advice from paramedics via a phone call. “I stayed there until [the ambulance] had taken [Thomas] away and cleaned up,” Smith said. “Then [a policeman] came back for my statement, and then I left.

That’s common sense By Malcolm Cammeron

MCT CAMPUS

Isn’t this how we got here?

Editor • Tray Smith

By John Anselmo

letters@cw.ua.edu

Proponents of the new health care legislation cite low regulation and the nature of the private sector as the reason for high insurance costs. Let’s take a look back to 1965, the first year of Medicare. Never before 1965 did the cost of health care rise above 6 percent of GDP. Today, health care spending comprises 16 percent of GDP and the Department of Health and Human Services says we should expect it to be 19.5 percent of GDP in seven years. The lower cost argument must be a fallacy. Demand for health care services will increase with new subsidies, yet the supply will not be increased by a corresponding amount. Many doctors will be forced out as they depend almost solely on reimbursements, decreasing the supply even more. Medical costs from 1992-2001 increased 47 percent, a time that saw an economic boom. The price increase of all goods increased 26 percent during the same period according to the Consumer Price Index. Cosmetic surgery, one medical service that government has not intervened in yet and is paid out of pocket, saw prices rise 16 percent, a decrease in price with inflation subtracted.

A study in 1992 by economist Milton Friedman found that from 1965-1989 health care costs increased 224 percent, and hospital beds per 1,000 fell 44 percent. More government money, less health care has been the trend since the mass intervention between patient and doctor occurred. Before the CBO, which claims this new plan will reduce the deficit, the House Ways and Means Committee made cost projections. Their projection in 1967 on Medicare costs in 1990: $12 billion. The actual cost was $110 billion, according to the Senate Joint Economic committee. When we were teenagers, almost all of us argued with parents about what was best for us. Some of those arguments continue today. We want to make our decisions for ourselves. Now, Congress has decided the government can make even more decisions concerning our health. Live 10 miles from hospital you know and trust? If there is another hospital five miles away, expect to make a five mile trip in the ambulance. It is now a mandate to take you to the closest hospital, regardless of your choice. Want to go across state lines to look for better or cheaper insurance policies? You better just look in state. It is illegal to go outside of state lines to purchase health insur-

“We speak English, if you want to live here…learn it,” declares Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim James in his new campaign ad, “Language.” The controversial ad has drawn harsh criticism and is being compared to a Saturday Night Live skit or a scene from South Park. In the ad, Tim James claims that driver license reform will save the state money and is “common sense.” On his campaign website, he also claims that a driver license test in any language other than English is against Alabama state law. Moreover, he argues that driver license reform is also essential to public safety. Although James promotes the cost-cutting benefits of the measure and its potential ability to prevent accidents, the ad has damaged the state’s already battered image. Also, the legal fees the state would incur if the measure were challenged in court would undoubtedly negate any savings gained. Likewise, the public safety claim, though understandable, is wholly unnecessary. Most traffic signs contain pictographs and are easily recognizable, whether you speak English or not.

ance. Just think if this distortion of the interstate commerce clause was applied to all goods and services. Some provisions of this bill, like allowing college students like myself to stay on their parents’ plan until they can get insurance, protect consumers. However, it is a very contradictory attempt to keep insurance companies from being “large predators.” With the insurance mandate, these “predators,” who in many states are among the few to provide insurance legally, now have access to the previously untapped wages of 32 million Americans. No wonder health insurance stocks rose the day after the bill passed Congress. Like the $134 billion United States Department of Agriculture, which aims to promote food safety while 76 million Americans contract food-borne illness each year (a rate well above that of other developed nations), government subsidized healthcare has failed miserably in controlling costs. If it worked, this new bill wouldn’t be needed. What if the government let you deduct all health care costs from your taxes? What if we could shop across state lines? What if we could make our own choices?

Equally recognizable are the real issues that James, who has never held public office, should be concerned about. Notable among them are constitutional reform, taxes and education. Alabama’s constitution is the longest in the country, laden with segregationist language and restrictive to local municipalities. Also, instead of a separate tax code, Alabama’s tax laws are embedded in the Alabama Constitution. This makes it difficult for local municipalities and counties to adjust taxes for funding of public projects, education, etc. Furthermore, the state has what is widely considered one of the most regressive tax systems in the country. Finally, Alabama’s educational system is in a state of disrepair. Numerous problems plague the state education system, including a high dropout rate and a lack of sufficient funding, due in part to tax laws crammed into our robust constitution. The Alabama Constitution, tax reform and education are the issues most pertinent to Alabama. These are issues candidates should tackle. We should elect a proven leader to the Governor’s Mansion with a history of public service, not someone who draws quick reference to South Park or SNL. That’s common sense.

Congressman Jo Bonner on Afghanistan By Tray Smith Around this time in 1982, an unassuming Camden native named Jo Bonner graduated from The University of Alabama with an eye on getting into politics. The field has suited him well. Bonner now represents Mobile and other areas of southwestern Alabama in the United States Congress, where he serves on the powerful House Appropriations Committee. His duties there occasionally take him far from Mobile to places like Afghanistan, where American troops are currently involved in an expansive counterinsurgency operation. Bonner’s last trip there was in late March, something along the lines of what we would call an “Alternative Spring Break.” The congressman arrived four months after President Barach Obama announced he was deploying more than 30,000 additional troops to the fight. Reflecting on his visit, Bonner said, “It has always been a central question mark in my mind in terms of whether Afghanistan could ever be successful, considering the lack of stability in the government. At the time of my visit, the [Afghan] president did not have half of his cabinet confirmed.” Speaking of that president, Hamid Karzai, Bonner says his conduct has been unhelpful. “One day he is our friend, the next day he is enabling the enemy,” Bonner said. He added that he

was disturbed when Karzai recently entertained joining the Taliban as our troops are trying to help his government fight Taliban insurgents. The Taliban is the political organization that controlled Afghanistan’s government in 2001 and gave shelter to the al-Qaeda terrorists responsible for 9/11. While U.S. forces teamed with Afghan rebels to run the Taliban out of power shortly thereafter, Taliban fighters have since mounted a violent return. In response, Obama decided to send the additional troops so that the total number of U.S. soldiers on the ground will top out at just more than 100,000 this summer. Their mission is to help support Karzai’s new government and leave behind a stable, democratic political system. “While I do not want to take away from the heroic work U.S. soldiers and military personnel are doing, I didn’t talk privately to anyone who didn’t tell me they have a very tall order,” Bonner said. To highlight the challenge, Bonner rattled off a list of disturbing facts. In a country the size of Texas, there is only one paved road, 85 percent of the people are illiterate and the only crop with any value on the open market is opium. Immense distrust lingers between the country’s many tribes, most of which speak different languages. To make matters worse, Afghanistan shares one border with the mischievous Iran and

another with the unstable Pakistan. Bonner says a more specific idea of what our soldiers are working for is needed. In comparing Afghanistan to Iraq, Bonner said Iraq was always going to be an easier place to help citizens establish a democratic government and rebuild. “Iraq wasn’t Alabama, but it was a much more developed, unified country than Afghanistan. If I had to make a list of countries where I believed a democratic spirit could really take hold, Afghanistan would be at the bottom of almost any list,” Bonner continued. The congressman specifically described a recent offensive in Helmand province, in which U.S. forces encountered setbacks. “It’s almost like every time you take one step forward, you take three back.” He said military officials seem determined to overcome these challenges by using every minute they have to make the most of their resources. In contrast, the State Department officials at the U.S. Embassy presented Bonner and his fellow members of Congress with fiveand 10-year plans. “I do not know if the American people are going to support this kind of operation for that long,” he cautioned. Bonner did have at least one piece of cheerful news to report. He said the morale of U.S. forces was much more upbeat than it was on his one previous trip in February 2008. He attributed that

to General Stanley McChrystal, the new commander President Obama selected to take charge of the fight last spring. “McChrystal is an impressive man. He is very disciplined and very focused. He definitely has the presence of a true commander and leader with few equals,” Bonner complimented. He added that McChrystal and his men give him confidence. “We just need to know what the administration is trying to achieve. Keeping the Taliban out is a good objective,” Bonner said. “We must simply make sure that what we are doing is worth American blood and treasure.” The knowledge Bonner has gained, combined with his pragmatism in confronting the conflict, will surely set him out among his peers in Congress when they decide whether to fund this complicated mission. The information he learned from visiting Afghanistan, however, was not the only worthwhile aspect of his trip. One of the best experiences for Bonner was getting to visit the service men and women from Alabama. “I took over a bunch of Alabama and Auburn football T-shirts and gave them out to the Alabama soldiers,” he announced. Then, he proudly added, “The Alabama national championship shirts were much more popular.”

UA both a rewarding and challenging experience By Steven Oliver During my time at The University of Alabama, I have had many enriching experiences that have come from challenging and rewarding situations. Like many out-of-state students, I joined the Alabama family to follow a different path than my hometown peers. I came to Alabama without knowing anyone or anything about campus life. Just a few short weeks into my freshman year, I immediately realized I wanted to extend my college experience beyond the classroom and immerse myself in campus activities.

Throughout my four years at the University, I was involved in many things beyond SGA, including Capstone Men and Women, Literacy is the Edge and other organizations and honor societies. Working in diverse groups, I have gained valuable experience interacting with people and exchanging ideas. These lessons came from establishing a commitment to learn from others and helping them make a difference through their passions. As students, there are many times we have to stand up for something we know is right or something that we truly believe in. These stances can

sometimes open us up to criticism or even bring about negative consequences. However, in these circumstances, we have the opportunity to follow the advice that a friend gave me this year: “Keep your head up; every great leader is faced with challenges. It’s how you deal with them that builds true character.” At other times, we have to put our discrepancies aside, talk to one another and work through our differences. If there is one thing I learned this year that I will remember forever, it is that it is always better to work with people on a particular issue and listen to their

side of a story. You have no idea how far that will go in any situation. As a leader, a mentor, a student and a friend, active listening is the number one quality one can possess. So, as I leave my undergraduate years at the Capstone, a place I have grown to love and a university I will forever support, I challenge all of us to work to build a bridge of understanding, engage in open dialogue with one another and truly enrich our campus community for future generations. Steven Oliver is a senior graduating in biology. He served as SGA president for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Gerber receives Goldwater Scholarship By Amanda Bayhi Contributing Writer Daniel Gerber, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering, recently won the Goldwater Scholarship for 2010. On April 1, Gerber found out he won the scholarship. He said the Goldwater Scholarship will help him achieve his future goals of participating in graduate research. “Research is awarded based on perceived research potential,” Gerber said.

POTTER Continued from page 1

In five years here, Potter has taken the program to new levels. He led the Tide to its second NCAA Championship appearance in program history in his very first year at Alabama and has repeated the feat every year he has been here. “It’s been a dream come true for me,” Potter said. “First of all, to have the support administratively we have here in athletics, and for our team in particular, has been great. Kevin Almond, Mal Moore and Dave Hart do everything they can to make it possible for us to be successful. I wasn’t used to that in the past. The community of athletes and head coaches here are like nothing I have ever experienced before. The environment has been outstanding.” When Potter left Furman University to rebuild Alabama, he wasn’t sure if he could attract the talent to compete on the highest level, but he said the unexpected early success accelerated his recruiting pipelines. “We had more success than

Gary Sloan, professor and coordinator of prestige scholarships and awards in the Honors College, said 300 undergraduate students majoring in math, engineering or the natural sciences can receive $7,500 each in Goldwater Scholarships every year for two years. Sloan said the number of scholarships awarded varies from year to year and 10 percent fewer students won this year than in previous years. Gerber is an outstanding student, Sloan said, who has done much research, co-authored we should have had early, and that helps us recruit now,” Potter said. “My only question when I looked at this job was, can I get great junior female golfers here to visit? I knew that after seeing the campus and seeing what we have to offer here we could get the players.” Potter said he was not solely to thank for turning the program around so fast. “I owe a lot of my early success to a couple of girls that transferred from Furman with me,” Potter said. “It made us better immediately and gave us credibility in the recruiting world. If we didn’t have them, we would not have been able to make it to the national championships our first year. That would have hurt recruiting a lot. “The more you win, the more you are successful, the more that breeds success. We had some success early and it was able to snowball.” Potter is no newcomer to the game of golf. He has been around the game for almost 30 years. He rates his time here at the Capstone as one of the best of his career. “Certainly winning the SEC

a paper and received awards for presentations. “For an undergrad to be a co-author on a paper—it’s not unheard of, but it’s not common,” Sloan said. Robert Taylor, head of the mechanical engineering department, echoed Sloan’s comments, adding that Gerber had almost perfect grades. Taylor said Gerber has done “cutting-edge” research that has led to publications and has accomplished leadership roles both on and off the UA campus. Gerber is an active member of the American Institute of

Aeronautics and Astronautics, where he has received awards for public speaking. Taylor said Gerber placed first in an oral presentation competition with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Taylor said the leadership roles in these professional engineering organizations are among many others for Gerber. Sloan said, in order to apply for the scholarship, a student must fill out a long application form that asks about the student’s background, classes, and activities. When filling out the application, the stu-

Championship this past week is the highlight of my career,” he said. “The feeling and the idea of building a program from where it was to where it is now is very gratifying. I think that is the most gratifying and important thing I have been able to do in my career. “I was successful at Furman, but the competition now is way better. Now there are about 13 or 14 teams that could win a national championship. Back then, there were only about three or four teams that could do it.” “[Winning the SEC Championship] was awesome, hard to describe,” junior Camilla Lennarth said. “This is what we practice for, to win the big championships. We’ve been playing well from time to time, but we all pulled it together and our practices payed off.” Even with all the success he has had, Potter stays humble and knows that he and the team can improve. “We haven’t played particularly well in the national championships,” he said. “We were kind of on the border line last year of getting some momentum, but we finished 11th. There are things as

a coach that you learn from and address in practice and hopefully we can improve on those things so we can get to where we can compete for national championships.” Potter doesn’t limit his job to the golf course. His players love playing for him, and he even helps them with everyday life. Lennarth says it has been a great experience playing for Potter the last three years. “I’ve learned a lot, everything from maturing in life, maturing my golf game, getting better in school, getting better at English and getting tougher on the golf course,” Lennarth said. “He helps me with everything, not just on the golf course.” Next up for the Tide are the NCAA Regional Championships May 6-8. Expectations are high as always. “Our goal is to finish first,” Potter said. “It’s a difficult field and a difficult tournament, but I think the SEC Championship has prepared us for it.” “We are going to go out there and try to win,” Lennarth said. “You don’t go in there trying to qualify; you go to win just like any other tournament.”

dent must show considerable activity in research and plan on pursuing a career, Sloan said. He added that it may be helpful to a student applicant to co-author papers and receive awards for presentations given at scientific meetings. “It’s kind of a team effort because they have to know three faculty members who will write strong letters,” Sloan said. Sloan said he writes a nomination statement for four of the usual 12 or 14 scholarship applicants every year. “It’s tough to try to pick just

four,” Sloan said. Sloan said that in the past four years, four UA students have been Goldwater scholars and two have received honorable mentions. Sloan added that some of the undergraduate students do as well or better than graduate students in their research, which helps a lot when they apply for the scholarship. “The reason we’re so successful is because our students are so involved in research,” Goldwater said. “I’m excited and glad to be honored in that way.” “We weren’t really sure we were going to be able to go, and then the funding from the University made it happen,” Missildine said. Ratledge specifically mentioned the dean of arts and sciences, the provost and Charles Snead, the director of the school of music. “Our product is of very high caliber,” Ratledge said, and the trip allows the University Singers to “get that message out.” King and Missildine both credit their success to hard work and to Ratledge. “He’s an amazing director, but he’s also extremely inspirational,” Missildine said. “He always says, ‘Absence of thought is absence of color in the voice,’ and he’s always

UA holds inaugural black feminist conference Jennie Kushner Senior Staff Reporter jfkushner@crimson.ua.edu

Wednesday’s inaugural Black Feminist Conference in the Blount Living Learning Center actively engaged about 20 UA students. Brittney Cooper, an assistant professor in the department of gender and race studies, and her students hosted the conference, titled “A Woman’s Work is Never Done: Raising Hell and Dismantling the Myth.� Throughout the day, each student in the Black Feminist Thought class presented speeches on such topics as

combating controlling images of black women, art, music and performance, everyday challenges and contemporary issues. Presenter Amanda Reyes, a senior majoring in philosophical studies in literature, art and film said she signed up for this class because of its relevance to everyday life. “I signed up for this class, because I wanted to see how black feminist thought influences art, film and literature,� she said. “This class has never been offered before, and I think it’s relevant to every field of study.� Throughout the semester, students worked with a black

feminist theorist. “The point of the class is to look at black feminists throughout history and engage with the ideas of the theorist and think about their ideas in terms of contemporary issues,� said Emily Unnash, a graduate student studying gender and race studies. Unnash said the goal of the conference was to inform the broader public of what black feminist thought entails, as

well as convey its importance and necessity considering the history of the campus. “Only 47 years ago, George Wallace stood in front of the doors of Foster Auditorium and tried to block Vivan Malone and James Hood,� she said. “The point is to give black women’s voices a place to be heard.� The class was cross-listed and open to both graduate and undergraduate students,

Unnash said. “A class like this has never been offered at the University, and it’s a great opportunity to get on board with something new and fresh,� said Alexander Parks, a Ph.D. student in curriculum and instruction. Parks said the class involves talking about lived experiences and happenings in society. He called people who ignore the issues at hand a part of the problem.

Tammy Owens, a graduate student studying gender and race studies, said she wanted a class geared towards experiences of black women. Owens and Parks discussed how disturbed they were when they saw girls wearing sorority shirts with the Confederate flag on the back. “We are bringing change in a place like Tuscaloosa where people still hang Confederate flags,� Owens said. “We need classes that focus on different perspectives because people of color are often silenced here.�

THE GRADUATE PREVIEW

Graduate school a big commitment By William Evans Senior Staff Reporter wjevans@crimson.ua.edu Graduate school seems a world apart from the lives of students pursuing undergraduate degrees, but the University encompasses both levels of education. David Francko, associate provost and dean of the graduate school, said the stumbling blocks to success in graduate school are different from those in undergraduate school. “In graduate school, you’re a full adult,� Francko said. “The challenge is time management, and there’s a research project to complete that’s your project and no one else’s.� Francko said some graduate students have to meet the responsibilities of family life

while shouldering a much higher level of intellectual demand than what is found in undergraduate years. Monica Ayhens, a Ph.D. student in military and naval history, said graduate studies consume much of her time. “Basically, it becomes your life,� Ayhens said. “When you go home, you might get some dinner and watch some TV, but soon you’re right back to reading, doing papers or grading. It’s a commitment.� Chris Levesque, a Ph.D. student in military history, said his work in graduate school outpaces the work he did at a job in a Fortune 500 company before his enrollment. “I didn’t expect there to be more work here than what I did at a 45 hour-a-week job,� Levesque said.

Levesque also said the interaction between student and teacher in graduate school involves more of a personal relationship with a small group of instructors. Aaron Clark, a Ph.D. student in U.S. history, said the interactions with those instructors vary. “Some will be more personable, but others will just give you advising,� Clark said. Francko said the graduate faculty seeks to alleviate the danger of a graduate student feeling detached from campus affairs. Some students begin to feel alienated or lost because of a lack of engagement with campus life, Francko continued. He said the graduate school seeks to reel students into a collaborative academic atmosphere.

“Research shows that if people feel they are more engaged, they will be happier at what they are doing,� Francko said. Francko said the graduate school office in Rose Administration building welcomes graduate students to walk in with concerns or questions. “We have an open door policy in our office,� Francko said. “We find many students coming here for individual attention.� Francko said the different departments of the graduate school have different benchmarks and expectations for their students. “There are some basic requirements that are least common denominators for the University, such as a 3.0 GPA,� Francko said. “But

in addressing Iraq,� he said. “We are asking whether our minds are being led by a good heart. We are asking whether this is good global citizenship. Most importantly, we are asking: Is this the behavior of a good and virtuous society?� Stephens continued, saying he felt there are two elements of the war that are painful to the nation’s character. “First, we stepped outside our national character when we started the war,� he said. “The second pain is the combination of the loss of life and the large number of crippled young men and women of our armed forces, but the greater number is the 65,000 absolutely innocent children, women and men, all Iraqi civilians, who have died from the disturbances created. “We can relate easily to the family pain from the killing of innocents at Virginia

departments can and often do have more stringent requirements.� One difference is the entrance exam submitted to gain admission into a department. The history department of the graduate school, for instance, accepts the GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, while the law school accepts the Law School Admission Test, or LSAT. Despite the basic requirements expected of each application for admission into

graduate school, each person’s application is given individual attention, Francko said. “Here in the graduate school we look at the whole record,� Francko said. “We look at the last 60 hours of their undergraduate [work], the courses they took, and what institutions they went to. There are basic standards, but every application gets individual attention.� Francko said the graduate school is able to give each application this attention despite the stress of handling approximate 8,000 applications a year.

sit for an hour and listen to someone with whom you disagree? You have to boo them off the stage? “Don’t get me wrong, you can and should question everything you hear,� White continued, “but in an educated and civilized democracy, we do so respectfully only after we’ve listened intently. If you disagree, write a letter to the editor, or to the president of the University, or to the speaker. Booing just demonstrates lack of fortitude and substance on the part of the booer.� Stephen Zito, who also graduated in 2007, said the speech Stephens gave was in very poor taste. “Regardless of what his or my political opinion happens to be, I felt at the time and still feel that the speech was inappropriate for the event,� Zito said. “I can’t speak for the thousands of other people who heard the speech, but a number of my classmates and their families, including some who had served in Iraq, also found the speech in poor taste. “As for the booing, I felt it

was probably deserved but I also felt it was not appropriate for the event. I, along with most of my classmates who were sitting near me, chose not to boo out of respect for the ceremony; however, no one applauded the speech either. I felt that the speech somewhat tainted the event.� While this year’s graduation ceremony features no commencement speaker, it does not lack honor or special recognition.

Tech. Fifty civilians died in Iraq that very day.� Reports from those in attendance say that when Stephens switched topics and addressed the United States’ involvement overseas, a group of students began to boo him, which brought about laughter and more boos from those around them. As more of a stir began, Stephens cut his speech short and took a seat on stage as UA graduates were handed their diplomas. Charles White, a 2007 graduate who was in attendance for Stephens’ speech, said that it’s not uncommon for political figures to use commencement speeches to discuss policy issues and that he thought Stephens displayed tremendous courage with his address. “He had to know going into it that it was an unpopular opinion given the context,� White said. “I also thought it was very disrespectful to the speaker, the University and the graduates for people to boo him.

Tide improves to 27-15 with win By Laura Owens Assistant Sports Editor crimsonwhitesports@gmail.com On Wednesday night, the Alabama baseball team defeated the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils 5-1 in Sewell-Thomas Stadium in Tuscaloosa. With the win, the Crimson Tide improves to 27-15 on the season and extends its winning streak to five games. “Mid-week games, you just gotta win them,” said head coach Mitch Gaspard. “That’s what we were able to do tonight. We’ve got to get back on track. We’ll have a good practice tomorrow night and try to get the offense in good flow for this weekend.” However, Gaspard said the team is still struggling on offense. “Offensively, it was disappointing tonight that we weren’t more productive,” he said. “Hats off to their guy. He did a great job throwing a breaking ball for a strike.”

Mississippi Valley State got on the board first at the top of the first inning when a single from the third batter ran in the team’s first batter of the game. In the bottom of the second, Clay Jones started the batting order off with a home run to tie the game 1-1. That was his third homerun in two days and his 12th of the year. His home run also extended Alabama’s streak in home runs to six in the last seven games. “I got some pitches to hit this weekend that I didn’t miss, and [I’m] just glad they got out of the yard to help the team,” Jones said. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Alabama scored again, taking the lead 2-1 with the help of two errors and a wild pitch. Rutledge got on base with an error at third. With Wilson’s at-bat next, there was an error at shortstop, which allowed Rutledge to advance to third. Then he scored on a wild pitch. In the top of the seventh, pitcher Tyler White got into

early trouble with a runner on first and third with no outs. However, the third batter up hit a bunt to White, who ran down the runner at third and tagged him out to save Alabama’s lead. But the next batter up hit a single, loading the bases with only one out. After that, Alabama changed pitchers for the seventh time, bringing in Jake Smith to finish the inning. He pitched to two batters, striking out both of them, ending the inning with three runners left on base. “I felt good,” Smith said. “I had control of both pitches. I mainly used fastballs, which I can locate pretty good on a day-to-day basis…I just knew if I did what I was supposed to do that I’d be fine, hit my spots and everything would take care of itself.” Gaspard said that was the best he has seen Smith pitch this year. “I think with a couple of guys scuffling in the bullpen, Jake’s going to become more

of a factor down the stretch, and the positive with that is that he’s got a really fresh arm right now,” Gaspard said. In the bottom of the seventh, Alabama extended its lead to 5-1 with three hits off two new pitchers for MSV. Their first pitcher, Britt Goodman left the game after six innings with nine strikeouts. Throughout the game, the Tide featured eight pitchers, with Jason Townsend getting the credit for the win. He pitched the fifth inning,

Tide notches 16th straight victory Sophomore Kendall Dawson bats against Georgia Tech Wednesday night.

By Jordan Bannister Sports Reporter jmbannister@crimson.ua.edu

The Crimson Tide softball team defeated a top-10 Georgia Tech team 13-1 Wednesday night at home, adding win number 16 to their streak. The Tide now stands at 40-9 this season. Going into Wednesday’s game, Georgia Tech was 43-8 and 16-2 in the ACC. The Yellow Jackets won Sunday against Florida State and managed to hold on to their ACC title once again. Starting out on the right foot, Tide starting pitcher Kelsi Dunne let only one Tech player on base and flew through the first half of the inning. Leading off for the Tide, freshman Kayla Braud walked, courtesy of Tech pitcher Hope Rush, only to steal second base just minutes later. Senior Charlotte Morgan hit her first career triple at the bottom of the first, driving in both Braud and Cassie Reilly-Boccia and closing out the inning out 3-0. “It was just great to be able to do that before I left,� said Morgan about her first inning triple. At the top of the second inning it was three up, three down. The Tide utilized its calm communication and took out three Tech contenders in a row, speeding through another top half of an inning.

Jazlyn Lunceford scored a run and Keima Davis hit a single and got Locke in for another, ending the inning with the score 11-0. Kelsi Weseman scored the Yellow Jackets’ first run of the game in the top of the fourth. Cat Dozier hit a ground ball that drove in Reilly-Boccia with a base hit in the bottom of the fourth. Alex Blewitt walked, filling the bases for Dawson to score a run with a base hit. The inning ended with the Tide in control, 13-1. The game ended dramatically as Dunne extended her arm and caught the ball, fired straight from Yellow Jacket Jen Yee’s bat for the final out. The Tide ended with 12 hits and no errors. “Beating a top-ranked team 13-1 is really saying something,� said head coach Patrick Murphy. “It looks really good right now, we just need to stay on a roll.� The ladies will be back in action hosting Tennessee this weekend for their final SEC series.

WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Tide has mixed results at relays

ULTIMATE FRISBEE

Ultimate Frisbee team advances to regionals

By NiCarla Friend Contributing Writer

The Alabama women’s track and field team competed in Des Moines, Iowa, last week for the 101st Drake Relays at Drake Stadium. Head coach Sandy Fowler said the team had mixed results. “Well, I thought that we had probably a little bit of everything this weekend at Drake,” Fowler said. “We had those that did extremely well, those that did kind of their average performance and those that I think we can improve upon. But in saying that, we also had some cold weather and pouring rain.” The Crimson Tide 4x100meter shuttle hurdle relay team finished in second in the preliminary round with a time of 56.59. Four hours later, the team – which consists of junior Kim Laing, senior Chealsea Taylor, junior Talaya Owens and sophomore Audra Frimpong – competed in the finals and placed first with a time of 54.49. “The 4x1 shuttle ran fantastic,” Fowler said. “Not only did they win but they set a new school record.” Taylor, Owens, Frimpong and Laing also competed in the 4x100 meter relay and placed eighth with a time of 46.38. But these girls weren’t the only ones to score some points for the Tide. “Krystle Schade won the high jump, and she won the high jump on a soaking wet track, which is pretty impressive,” Fowler said. “Wilamena Hopkins competed in the shot put in an all-out downpour and placed third, which is phenomenal for a freshman. “And we had Kim Laing place third on the hurdles, and we had a fifth place finish in the javelin by Meghan Austin and an eighth place finish by another freshman, Bekah Hoppis.” Fowler said she is happy with results, considering the cold and rainy weather. “On the whole, I think the team did fairly well,” she said. “We had some outside circumstances with the rain and the cold weather on Friday that I thought that the whole team

Because we’re not used to those circumstances, to walk up there and to win something and to compete as high as we did, they did phenomenal.” The team has improved a lot since the beginning of the season, and Fowler said she believes that one area she has seen improvement in is strength. But she’s not talking muscles. “I’ve seen improvements in general with the team in regards to competing a lot harder and getting mentally tough,” Fowler said. “I think they’ve really gotten mentally tough in that they pull from within themselves and really compete from the heart in all the events across the board. I think our team leadership has really led to that above and beyond anything else. “And as a result, the team has competed really well when they need to, which is toward the end of the season, so that says volumes for the team and the direction that the team is going.” But Fowler said she doesn’t

mean there isn’t room for more improvement. “Are there places that we can improve upon? Without a doubt,” she said. “And we always look at that as a positive because as you improve from meet to meet, you’re also going to improve once you get to your biggest meets of the season, which are SECs and regionals. And I expect them to improve there as well, so that their placing gets higher and they get more points for the team.” The SEC Championships and regionals are coming up in a couple of weeks, and Fowler said she expects great things from the team. “We should usually be sixth in the competition anyway. That’s my expectation for the team,” she said. “We have a very talented team, and if everything goes our way, we should do very, very well.” The Tide will hit the road this weekend for the Mississippi Open in Oxford, Miss., May 1. This will be their last meet before the SEC Championships in Knoxville, Tenn., on May 13-16.

Submitted photo Alabama player Dance Hinton dives to knock the disc away from an Ole Miss opponent at sectionals this season, which the Crimson Tide hosted at the Rec fields. Alabama won sectionals for the first time since 1994. By Marilyn Vaughn Contributing Writer This weekend, the men’s ultimate Frisbee team will go somewhere they have not been in two years: regionals. This trip is being made possible due to the team winning the sectionals meet for the first time since 1994, which the Tide hosted two weeks ago at the Student Recreation Center. “We hosted sectionals two years ago, and it was awesome to do it again,” said co-captain Zachary Moore. “We have great facilities, and the Rec is always really good about helping us out and giving us what we need. Plus, it’s always good to have a home field advantage. I also have made some pretty good friends from the other teams and it’s always a good time to see them again.” The men’s team beat out all the teams in its section, which includes Mississippi, Louisiana and western Tennessee, to claim one of three spots for a trip to regionals in Austin, Texas, on April 30-May 1. “There was a lot of pressure

on our team going into sectionals this year,” Moore said. “We were seeded No. 1 going into it, so I really felt like our team had to perform. We also had not won sectionals since 1994, so we really wanted it bad as a team.” To make it to the championships in Madison, Wis., the team will have to place in the top two at regionals, which will also include teams from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. “To date, we have never been to nationals and I would love nothing more than for our team to make it there,” Moore said. “It won’t be a cakewalk. We will have to play the best we’ve played all year.” The men’s ultimate Frisbee was established in 1978 and its membership numbers have remained consistent at just less than 100. But the team, much like other club sports on campus, would not mind seeing campus awareness and support increase along with team numbers. “I think ultimate is one of the fastest growing sports in the nation right now,” Moore

said. “I’m from Huntsville and I have seen a large increase in number of players in the summer league that I play in. I think once people actually watch a competitive game they are very impressed with the athleticism of the players. It’s not really a sport of hippies anymore and is attracting more and more athletes.” Perhaps national exposure will help shed light on the fairly young sport. CBS’s College Sports Network will be covering the 2010 UPA College Ultimate Championships as a part of an hour-long highlight show of other alternative sports. This program will air as the ALT Games highlights show on June 14th at 4 p.m. “CBS coverage is an awesome thing, and I really hope it helps gain support for our team,” Moore said. “This will also help us get some good recruits. There was actually an ultimate play on ESPN’s Top Ten about a year ago that showed the U.S. beating Japan in the finals of the World Championship tournament, so ultimate is definitely growing in popularity.”

Monáe delivers lovable pop single By Morgan Dowdy Contributing Writer

Before the March 31 video release of “Tightrope,” Janelle Monáe’s most notable solo compositions appeared on “Metropolis, Suite I of IV: The Chase,” a 2007 space-age themed concept EP starring a female android from the year 2719. It sounded something like Nona Hendryx meets 80s funk/new-wave group The Time meets lost outtakes from Weezer’s doomed “Songs from the Black Hole” project. That is: soulful while art-minded, playful while sharp and unabashedly eclectic. It was good, too — the way elegant, listenable concept albums can be. On her outstanding new single, Monáe takes that basic framework, tones down the oddity, pumps up the danceability and arguably offers her finest work yet. We have in “Tightrope” a pop song as well-crafted, infectious and plainly fun as any classic

Motown track. Monáe, whose style leans toward Aretha more than Diana, offers an exhilaratingly dynamic performance, progressing from spry, rap-influenced verses to wailing, soulful choruses, then soaring highest at the magnificent call-and-response bridge that evokes The Strokes just as readily as it does James Brown. To my ear, this indie/funk dichotomy is the definitive characteristic of Monáe’s sound on “Tightrope.” The aforementioned Brown provides the clearest musical influence, though “Off the Wall”-style pop-funk is comparably present. On the indie side, Monáe seems to be flirting with the sort of subtle atmosphere Beach House fans should find easy to love, especially during the track’s dreamlike outro. Aside from early Strokes, I hear subtler traces of what was more overt on “Metropolis” — the sensibilities one associates

with a notable Pitchforkreviewed artist of the past couple years: a bit retro, a bit electronic, pointedly danceable, with artistic ambitions. It is this seamless conflation of two distinct musical worlds that makes “Tightrope” such an engaging listen. Of course, the particular crossroads of art-rock and funk is not wholly uncharted. Nona Hendryx began her career singing girl-group harmonies with Patti Labelle during the 60s before they reformed in the 70s as glam-infused, spaceobsessed disco group Labelle, best known for the 1974 hit “Lady Marmalade.” Labelle split in 1976. By 1980, Hendryx was providing backup vocals for the Talking Heads on tour, while developing her own eclectic sound on solo records. 1989’s “Skin Diver,” one of Hendryx’s most-acclaimed solo works, was produced by Peter Baumann, a former member of experimentalelectronic group Tangerine

Dream. Where Hendryx developed her own concept-driven art-funk sound over decades, Monáe appears to have taken it as a jumping-off point. The track’s superb music video deserves a full review itself; I’ll simply offer a comparison. Like intermedia queen Lady Gaga, Monáe’s artistic vision seems to extend naturally into the realm of video. Though as noticeably art-minded as Gaga’s cinematic featurettes, the “Tightrope” video makes Gaga’s appear extravagant to a fault. Where, say, “Bad Romance” buries itself beneath layers of CGI, “Tightrope” exercises technological restraint, relying on sharp camerawork, genius choreography and Monáe’s own expressive personality to execute the video’s conceptual imperative, affecting potent visceral and cerebral reactions simultaneously. Perhaps in many ways it is clumsy to compare the two artists, for they embody different

jmonae.com Janelle Monáeʼs new single “Tightrope” offers a dynamic performance that incorporates multiple genres.

kinds of talent and style, and (as of now) exist on very different planes of stardom. Still, they’re both young, highly stylized female performers who write danceable pop songs and maintain rather highbrow notions of art and self-expression. Both exude a powerful

magnetism in their videos. Janelle Monáe’s debut LP “The ArchAngel” will be out on May 18. Let’s hope the rest of its songs live up to the likes of “Tightrope,” a present-day pop nugget that should appeal to snobby aficionados and casual listeners alike.

Guerrilla seniors say goodbye Saturday night By Ashley Chaffin Contributing Writer Allen Bales Theatre will open its doors Saturday for the final Guerrilla Theatre of the year as members of Alpha Psi Omega and the audience say goodbye to departing seniors and next year’s hosts are revealed. The doors open at 10:30 p.m., and there is a $1 suggested donation to get in. It is recommended that audience members arrive early because each Guerrilla this year has been sold out and people have been turned away. Glenn Halcomb, president of APO and current co-host of Guerrilla, said he is expecting it to be a great show, though he does not know any specifics

That passion, Halcomb said, is one of his favorite parts of performing in Guerrilla. • What: Guerrilla “I care about it so much because it’s such an opportuTheatre nity for us as artists to present • Where: Allen Bales something so personal to an audience, and we don’t get to Theatre do that often,” he said. • When: Saturday at Having a passion like his plays a big role in getting elect10:30 p.m. ed president and vice president • How much: $1 sugof APO and hosting the show. facebook.com All of the candidates have difgested donation ferent things to offer but they are all talented and qualified, about the acts as the seniors “They are all so good,” said Halcomb said.

They all taste of what the future holds will perform on this stage. put so much passion behind it.” for Guerrilla Theatre.

IF YOU GO ...

Halcomb said it will be hard for them to really see how the new hosts will run the show until next year because they usually plan the shows over the summer. Larry Bowen, associate director of the Center for Teaching and Learning, said the audience should expect a big change, because the new hosts bring something different to the table every year. Bowen has been going to Guerrilla for about 15 years and said it has grown an incredible amount since he first started going. Though some years have been better than others, it all depends on the hosts and the acts that are selected, he said. Bowen said Halcomb has done a great job as co-host, and he

has high hopes for the future Guerrilla Theatre because of the talent he has seen this year. “Every year you see new people, and you just know they are going to be great,” he said. While the final Guerrilla of the school year is focused on looking towards the future, for the departing seniors and their friends, it is more meaningful than that. It is a time to say goodbye to their theater, their audience and their APO family. “Their work in Guerrilla and APO has been such an inspiration,” said John Paul Snead, a freshman in APO. Snead expects Saturday’s performance to be amazing because it is something very personal for all of the seniors to share with members of APO and the audience.

Rock band to play Jupiter Benjy Davis and Mic Capdevielle makeup the “Benjy Davis Project,” playing tonight at Jupiter Bar and Grill.

Benjy Davis Project, Bassnectar will play at Jupiter Bar and Grill By Cameron Kiszla Staff Reporter wckiszla@crimson.ua.edu Jupiter Bar & Grill is ending the school year with a bang, bringing folk-rock group the Benjy Davis Project and electronic artist Bassnectar for today’s and Friday’s shows. Currently on a national tour in support of their latest album “Lost Souls Like Us,” the Benjy Davis Project will take the Jupiter stage at midnight tonight. Known for hits like “Do It With the Lights On,” “Louisiana Saturday Night” and “Stay With Me,” Baton Rouge’s Benjy Davis Project has developed a following at many universities. When not playing at colleges, the group has performed at large musical festivals like New Orleans’ Voodoo Fest and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. They have also toured with the likes of Sister Hazel and Robert Randolph. Made up of Benjy Davis and Mic Capdevielle, the Benjy Davis Project has recently released its newest album. Co-produced by Bobby Capps of .38 Special fame, and Jason Spiewak, the album also features contributions from members of bands like .38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lady Antebellum and Big & Rich. “We’re ready to just all-out play the songs off the new album,” said Capdevielle. “We’re so excited that we want to share it with everybody.” Grace Francez, a junior majoring in psychology, said he was a huge fan of Benjy Davis. “I’ve seen them three times and plan on seeing them Thursday,” he said. “Every show I’ve been to has been a good blend of their more popular songs and their new stuff that really grabs the audience’s attention. I’m really looking forward to their show

• When: Friday at 11:30 p.m.

• How much: $20 in advance, $23 after 2 p.m. on Friday tonight because of their two newest albums, which I really like and have never heard them perform live.” Supporting the Benjy Davis Project will be singer-songwriter Mikey Wax, who plays at 11 p.m. Vanderbilt alum Wax has gained fame recently through social media websites like Facebook and MySpace. His debut album, “Change Again,” charted on iTunes’s Top 100 albums in November 2008, rising up to number 46. Wax released a six-song EP in February, and it charted on iTunes Top 100 albums at number 88 in its first week of release. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door, and the concert will end by 2 a.m. On Friday, the electronica act Bassnectar will perform, taking the stage at 11:30 p.m. Bassnectar, best known for songs like “Cozza Frenzy” and

“Art of Revolution,” is comprised solely of Lorin Ashton, who serves as DJ, songwriter and remixer. Ashton’s music, which he describes as “omnitempo maximalism,” is outside any one genre. His music is influenced by and derived from every genre imaginable. “We are so blessed and so deeply fortunate to be alive and awake right now,” Ashton said. “It’s a basic truth, but it’s very powerful. I think privilege confers responsibility, and Bassnectar is a reflection of that opportunity to give back, the motion of my cells bouncing back at the world.” Known nationally, Bassnectar has performed at well-known venues like the Coachella Festival in Indio, California, and the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. It is Ashton’s second visit to Tuscaloosa in the past year. He performed at the Jupiter in October of last year. Ben Bradford, a freshman majoring in studio art, saw Bassnectar last year in Alpharetta, Ga.

“It was fun. The whole show is high energy,” he said. “When I saw him, he just had three screens behind him, and it was just him onstage with his turntables and needles. He was just a ball of hair the whole time.” Tickets for Bassnectar are $20 in advance and $23 after 2 p.m. on Friday. The Jupiter will close at 3 a.m. Opening for Bassnectar is Eliot Lipp, who will go on at 10 p.m. Lipp comes from Tacoma, Wash., and has been featured in publications like SPIN, Pitchfork and URB. Some of his popular songs include “Beamrider” and “Yeah,” both off his album “Peace Love Weed 3D.” His music is best described as electronic, but he mixes his songs with hip-hop and funk influences. Tickets for the Benjy Davis Project concert can be bought at the Jupiter after 9 p.m. tonight. Bassnectar tickets can be bought at the Jupiter after 5 p.m. on Friday, or on the Jupiter’s website, www.jupiteronthestrip.com.

Alabama Choir School takes stage for 25th anniversary By SoRelle Wyckoff Contributing Writer This weekend more than 180 choir members will take the stage for the 25th anniversary celebration of the Alabama Choir School. The Alabama Choir School is a community-based music education program for children in the West Alabama area from public and private schools, as well as home school. It includes seven different choirs, ranging from first to twelfth grade. All six performance choirs and the teaching choir will perform this weekend under the direction of Karen Nicolosi and Doff Procter. The Alabama Choir School’s 25th Anniversary Celebration concerts are Friday, April 30, and Saturday May 1 at 7 p.m. at the Moody Concert Hall. Tickets are $10 for all ages. Alabama Choir School alumni are welcome to come on stage during Saturday’s performance and sing the final song with the choir. The choir began under Nicolosi’s direction in 1985 with only 17 boys. It has expanded from one small, all-boy choir to six performing choirs and one teaching choir. “[We] never

had any clue it would last this long or take on a life of itself,” said Frieda Jacobs, executive director of the Alabama Choir School. Twenty-five years later, the choir has developed an impressive repertoire. The program is divided into boys’ and girls’ residential and touring choirs. Touring is a prestigious aspect of the program. “Performance is a very important part of what we do,” Jacobs said. “We try to provide opportunities in some of the best places in the world.” The tours have ranged all over the globe, from the White House to countries across Europe. Festivals and cathedrals across the world have housed performances by the Alabama Choir School. Despite the young age of the members in the Alabama Children’s Choir, they will showcase their talent and musical maturity at the performance. “Our philosophy in teaching is to help these children to excel in what they do,” Jacobs said. “We choose our music from the finest collection, we sing in many different languages and we try to expose children to cultures all over the world.”
