Golf team claims 1st NCAA championship

“

I think the guys realized what was at stake, and they knew how they felt last year and didn’t want to feel that way anymore.

“

— Jay Seawell

By Charlie Potter | Assistant Sports Editor

he Alabama men’s golf team claimed the program’s first national championship Sunday, defeating Illinois 4-1. The Crimson Tide defeated the Fighting Illini in the final round of the 2013 NCAA Golf Championship on the par-70 Crabapple Course at the Capital City Course in Atlanta, Ga. Head coach Jay Seawell said the experience of watching his players celebrate the win was the best aspect of the University’s first men’s national title in a sport other than football. “Just the smiles and how happy the guys were,” Seawell said. “They’re the ones that put in the work. They do all the things that you need to do to win, and to see their smiles and their satisfaction is something I’ll remember for a lifetime.” The Crimson Tide came close to winning backto-back championships, had it not been for a 1-stroke loss to Texas in 2012. It was the devastating loss to the Longhorns in last year’s NCAA finals that maneuvered Alabama through the competition like veteran players. “I think last year was a great experience for us [on Sunday],” Seawell said. “I think the guys realized what was at stake, and they knew how they felt last year and didn’t want to feel that way anymore. I do think it had some type of motivation in their play because they played really, really great [Sunday].” SEE GOLF PAGE 15

Dr. Herbert Stone, a panelist at the event, said commemorating the University’s desegregation is important because it motivates those in power to take further action to increase racial equality. “Realizing what the historical perspective is can bring people closer,” Stone said. “I think it causes people who have some position of influence to redouble those efforts to ensure that everybody gets a seat at the table.”

Stone said increasing the presence of minority groups in health professions can also be a way of increasing access in underserved communities.

my name is being associated with it.” He then questioned the source of the allegations. Bailey was one of five finalists being considered for the next president of NMSU in Las Cruces, N.M. The university’s Board of Regents announced May 6 that Garrey Carruthers, dean of NMSU’s College of Business and governor of New Mexico from 1987 to 1991, had been selected as the new president.

Bailey interviewed as a NMSU presidential candidate just six months after his abrupt presidential resignation from The University of Alabama in October 2012, after only 57 days in office. Prior to his presidency at the University, Bailey served as president of Texas Tech University from August 2008 to July 2012. Bailey cited his wife’s declining health as the reason for him stepping down at the University

Jordan Banegas, a student at NMSU and member of the university’s Board of Regents, said Carruthers will request that the NMSU Board of Regents approve the suspension of a policy requiring a national search.

Bar owners, college students ramp up with technology to verify real or fake student IDs By MCT Campus MILWAUKEE — The arms race between bar owners and college students with increasingly sophisticated fake IDs is heating up. Students today can spend $100 to $150 on fake identification through a number of websites that claim superior quality down to the holograms and bar codes. There’s an underground review that rates the quality of fake IDs from different sites. Students can even watch YouTube videos on how to make IDs showing they’re 21, the legal drinking age. Bar owners who don’t invest in technology to detect fake IDs find out the hard way just how sophisticated the game has become. In April, a Milwaukee police officer on patrol peered through a front window of Victor’s – a nightclub at 1230 N. Van Buren St. – and noticed lots of younglooking patrons. A patron spotted the officer, yelled that the cops were there, and more than 100 Marquette University students were cited for being in a bar while underage. They had fake IDs. It was a Thursday night – “College Night” at Victor’s –

complete with free pizza, $2.50 drink specials and $1 shots. A Marquette spokesman confirmed that 105 underage students were identified as being in the bar that night. “We take this issue seriously and are currently reviewing the incident,” said the spokesman, Brian Dorrington. Misrepresentation of age or possession of false documentation of age is a violation of Marquette’s alcohol policy. Consequences are based on past offenses. Victor’s, which did not have the latest sophisticated scanner at the door to detect fake IDs, has since discontinued College Night and its shuttle service that picked students up at Marquette and gave them a ride back to campus at bar close. “It’s not worth it,” said club owner Victor Jones, whose family opened the nightclub 51 years ago. In addition to the negative publicity that accompanies an underage drinking bust, it’s written up in the bar’s file for city review when its license comes up for annual renewal. The typical Victor’s crowd is men and women in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

Jones said on a recent Saturday that he started College Night at the end of 2011 when a few younger employees suggested it. The Victor’s doormen used an inexpensive, hand-held scanner to check IDs for a while, but it recently broke and was being repaired when the underage Marquette students drew the attention of police, Jones said. He had been hedging his bets against fake IDs since the beginning of the academic year by requiring students to show both a state-issued ID and a college ID to make sure they matched. “I had no idea fake IDs had become so sophisticated,” Jones said. Now he plans to invest in a more high-tech hand-held ID scanner costing $2,000 to $3,000. In the meantime, Jones said, he’ll only allow young patrons with a Wisconsin ID into the club until the spring semester ends in May. He said his doormen at the front and back doors are more comfortable recognizing fake IDs from Wisconsin than those from other states and countries. “Screening at the front door for underage drinkers is probably one of the most difficult things to do in this business,”

said Mike Vitucci, owner of Murphy’s Irish Pub and Caffrey’s Pub in the Marquette University neighborhood, and the Whiskey Bar and The Belmont Tavern in downtown Milwaukee. Vitucci has invested in sophisticated hand-held scanners that read an ID bar code and take a picture of the person presenting the ID. He also has a camera outside the door that photographs students as they present their IDs to the doormen to make sure they were checked, and the IDs are placed in a box that photographs them. Vitucci provides the doormen with a cash incentive for confiscating the most fake IDs. “Your ID checking system is only as good as your doormen because who gets into the bar is up to the doormen,” Vitucci said. “I keep track of who collects the most fake IDs, and it’s a competition.” Doormen also are given a book that shows what to look for in fake IDs from every state, and they’re expected to study it, he said. Vitucci said 98 percent of his business at Murphy’s and Caffrey’s is Marquette students, so he has to be extra

vigilant. “Our motto is, ‘We want you for a year and half. Anyone else, we’ll wait for you’ to turn 21,” he said. When a student turns 21, he receives a free “Finally 21” T-shirt from Murphy’s and can buy a $20 Murphy’s mug that’s kept at the pub for him to use whenever he comes in. “When they graduate, they keep the mug,” Vitucci said. Caffrey’s gives students a “Finally 21” pint glass when they reach the legal age. “We focus on giving them the Marquette experience,” Vitucci said. Marquette’s student government tries to provide alternative options on campus, like movies and comedy shows, for students who aren’t of legal drinking age or who don’t want to go to bars and drink, said Arica VanBoxtel, a senior from Freedom and outgoing president of the student government. “The biggest thing from a student leader standpoint is educating about responsibility and healthy drinking and providing an alternative,” she said. “You can’t stop people from making the choices they make, but you can educate them.”

patients who are members of minority groups because these physicians can more readily understand the cultural context of their patients. “I personally think that if you can relate to people, you probably can get a better working relationship with them,” she said. “People feel more comfortable relating to people who look something similar to them, understand the way they speak or the way they live.” Stone said early encouragement was a large part of the reason he went into medicine. “My [mother] gave me a stethoscope when I was in the

seventh grade,” Stone said. “I didn’t really know what it was. She didn’t really say much about it, but every doctor’s office you’d go to, there was that ubiquitous stethoscope.” Hullett said it is crucial when mentoring young people to emphasize the importance of investing in years of medical education when other fields might pay larger salaries more quickly. “People who are of the same ethnicity can encourage people,” she said. “When you have mentors, when you’re going to people of the same ethnic group, kids feel good about them and decide ‘maybe I want to be a doctor, too.’ [When kids are mentored], they realize that there’s something good

about this, that [medicine] is a good thing.” The Through the Doors program will also include an interfaith prayer breakfast Friday at 7:30 a.m., which will bring together members of various faiths to celebrate the role of faith communities in the civil rights movement. “Following commendations to Canterbury Episcopal Chapel and First African Baptist Church for their helpful roles in the events of 1963, the program will include performances by UA’s AfroAmerican Gospel Choir and a brief oral history of the local civil rights movement, along with prayers and music,” said Christopher Spencer, director of community development at

The University of Alabama’s Center for Community-Based Partnerships. Spencer said remembering the past is important to the ongoing effort to support racial equality on campus. “A variety of programs, seminars, speakers and other activities sponsored by the colleges, divisions and organizations … emphasize the need for the campus community to continue to make a difference in their communities and throughout their lives, and to build a campus environment that welcomes inclusiveness, ensures acceptance and supports the opportunity for every member of the UA family to become his/her highest and best self,” Spencer said.

interim provost during the national search,” Clason said, adding that a search could take up to a year to find an adequate provost. Although he could not comment on who Carruthers preferred for the position, Clason said each of the four candidates have already visited campus and been reviewed. He said Bailey, as one of the four finalists, had as equal a chance as any of the four. The Albuquerque Journal,

however, reported May 29 that of the four remaining candidates, three of them either had no interest in the position or had not been contacted by the university. Daniel Howard, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Colorado Denver, was the only one to decline to respond. Howard was a biology professor at NMSU from 1988 to 2008. During the May 6 presidential selection Board of Regents meeting, three of the five members voted for Carruthers, while two voted for Howard, according to meeting minutes. Banegas said he will support the request and believes the other four Regents will do the same. Bailey, however, said he was excited about staying at The University of Alabama. “I’m looking forward to being a faculty member and teaching here,” he said.

By Rachel Brown Contributing Writer With the first summer session underway, many students may be looking for ways to ease the stress of their demanding summer classes. Whether the answer to these troubles is running, kayaking, a 60-minute massage or maybe all three, the Recreation Center offers it. The Rec will be open this summer and is offering students numerous new and enticing

opportunities. Comparable to the fall and spring semesters, the rec is open every day of the week during the summer months. Dontavius Wade, a supervisor at the Rec, said the main difference between the summer months and the school year is the hours of operation. “During the summer, we are not open as early as we are during the fall and spring, and we close a little bit earlier. We do offer the same classes,”

Wade said. Th e su m m e r hours for the rec are Monday-Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. The group exercise schedule can be found on the Rec’s website. Summer hours will end August 18. Wade also said students are allowed to bring guests. Guests will be required to show a photo ID and pay a guest fee of $10, but will then have access to both the indoor and outdoor pool, the weights and fitness area, as well as all of the fitness classes offered on the day they are a guest. Massage therapy has also returned to the Rec, although many students may not have known it was offered to begin with. “Massage therapy was gone for a few months, but it is back now. You can purchase a session from our membership office. They have student discounts and employee discounts,” Wade said. Beth Murphy, the new massage therapist, began taking clients on May 10. Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular, sports and chair massages are offered in 30-, 60- and 90-minute increments. Members of the Rec are able to schedule appointments by calling (205) 348-5140.

ing its second annual series of summer “Family Nights,” which will begin Wednesday. “The main special event that we have open to the public on Wednesday nights throughout the summer is we have family night with different themes,” Gile Manders, a lifeguard at the outdoor pool, said. “This summer we have events such as Carnival, Wild Wild West, Kid Fit, Neighborhood Heroes, The Splash is Right! Game Show, Superhero U, Night at the Museum, Ahoy Matey!, and Back to School Barbeque. So that’s just a chance for us to open up the pool to community members, get a lot of people out here and get a lot of family involvement.” Anyone from the Tuscaloosa

area is able to purchase a summer membership to the outdoor pool. They can be purchased independently of memberships to the rec. Students must enrolled in one credit hour of summer classes to use the outdoor pool for free with their ACT card. Members of the pool may bring guests as long as they pay the guest fee of $5. Nonmembers are able to use the pool as well but will be charged $10, Manders said. Outdoor enthusiasts will be excited to learn that the Outdoor Rec is hosting summer excursions in addition to the normal rentals offered throughout the school year. Whitewater rafting trips on the Ocoee River and canoeing trips on the Coosa River

are occurring throughout June and July. Members and nonmembers are both welcome to attend the outdoor adventures for less than $50. “Over the summer, we have four trips going out. We have one going out this Saturday, and we have one more in June and two more in July,” Cameron Butler, the Outdoor Recreation rental center manager, said. Trained trip leaders employed by the Outdoor Rec lead the excursions, Butler said. They also offer trips in the fall. “Fall will be more like caving, climbing, backpacking, camping and more paddling trips as well,” Butler said. In addition to excursions, the Outdoor Rec provides students and members with outdoor adventure gear such as backpacks, sleeping bags, road bikes, mountain bikes, canoes, kayaks, and other camping gear. Rentals are available at inexpensive rates for a day, weekend or weeklong time period. Students only have to show their ACT card to qualify for member pricing and do not have to be enrolled in summer classes. Excursion and rental information can be found on the Outdoor Rec’s website. Students interested in working with the Outdoor Rec as trip leaders, bike mechanics or support staff are encouraged to apply during the spring months. Other e m p l oy m e n t opportunities are available to students through the Student Recreation Center and Aquatics. Students should apply for these positions at jobs.ua.edu.

Unanswered questions surround hiring of Jo Bonner By John Brinkerhoff Opinion Editor

expertise and dedication would appear to serve the University system well. However, the actual story is a bit more complicated. As the brother of UA President Judy Bonner, questions have been raised regarding the role of nepotism in the selection. Those questions have been compounded by the fact that the position itself is new, and its responsibilities, as well as potential benefits to students, are unclear to the public. Why was the position created, and why was Jo Bonner selected for it? Did family play a role in the process or was experience the main determining factor? The answers are not so clear.

On May 23, Josiah “Jo” Bonner, a respected Congressman from Alabama 1st district in Mobile, announced that he was resigning from his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to take the position of Vice Chancellor of Government Relations and Economic Development within The University of Alabama System. At first glance, this move would seem to be a good match. After all, Bonner has decades of service, as a congressional staffer, and later as a Congressman and chair of the House Ethics Committee. Even within the UA system, he was active within the John Brinkerhoff is the University of Alabama Alumni Opinions Editor of the Crimson Association. His connections, White.

Suitability, not nepotism, reasoning behind selection of Rep. Jo Bonner

UA student body deserves answers about ‘tailor-made’ Bonner position

By Regan Williams Staff Columnist

By Nathan James Senior Staff Columnist

This month, The University of Alabama System welcomed an alumnus back into its ranks to fill a brand new position. Congressman Jo Bonner’s selection as the vice chancellor of governmental relations and economic development has drawn some controversy. Rep. Bonner also happens to be the brother of President Judy Bonner. Now, to some, this is seen as a terrible thing and should be stopped. However, when the issue is seriously examined, it is clearly not a scandal. A common accusation is that Bonner’s hiring is nepotism and a case study in unfair hiring practices. They feel Rep. Bonner is only being hired because of the fact that his sister is president of The University of Alabama. This idea is just false and shrouded in misconception. The first issue is that President Bonner works for The University of Alabama. Rep. Bonner will work for The University of Alabama System. There is a huge difference. The University of Alabama is only the Tuscaloosa campus, but Rep. Bonner will be working for all thre campuses in the state, not just our campus. This means they will not be working in the same office. Furthermore, they will not

in Congress helping us make sure we are well represented? We need someone with government experience to help us go to the next level. We also need someone who loves the state and all the universities in the system to take the position. Rep. Bonner has great ties to the system as a double graduate of the University with an undergraduate degree and a law degree. He now has worked as a civil servant more than a decade, serving this great state to his best ability. Rep. Bonner fits the job perfectly, and he is what we need in order to keep on climbing to the top of the list of public universities. This is an individual who has given his life to helping this state, and now he is just finding a new avenue to help the state in new ways. These two siblings have done so much for not only the University but also the state of Alabama. It is not only ridiculous to think that this was wrong but just plain insulting toward a family that has given so much time and energy to ensure our education. Instead of questioning these individuals, we should be thanking them.

even be working in the same city. Rep. Bonner is working in an office in Montgomery. It may seem a little fishy at first, but President Bonner did not hire her brother, nor did she have a way to authorize it. So the whole idea that President Bonner made a position for her brother is ludicrous. Chancellor Robert Witt was the one who hired Rep. Bonner. It was his idea, and he created the position. Surely the litmus test for making an appropriate hiring test should include a candidate’s suitability for the position? Well, butter my biscuit. It is a governmental relations job. Someone who spent 10 and half years in Congress is taking a job to work with governments. Gasp! In all seriousness: This is exactly why we need him. The government is constantly changing, and as new policies are passed and new grants become available, why Regan Williams is a senior would we not want someone majoring in political science who spent 10 and a half years and communication studies.

If you’re a student at The University of Alabama, you should be questioning the hire of Josiah “Jo” Bonner. For those of you who haven’t been keeping abreast of the situation, here are the details: Jo Bonner, Alabama congressman and younger brother of President Judy Bonner, was recently hired by The University of Alabama System. His job, vice chancellor of government relations and economic development, did not exist until it was created for Jo Bonner. This position also seems to have no job description. No one has released any kind of statement detailing what, exactly, Jo Bonner will be expected to do. The salary for this job has not been established, which is interesting, since Jo Bonner gave up a successful political career to work at the University. He must feel confident that he will be well-compensated. So to recap: The president’s brother was given a job that was created out of thin air. No details have been given as to why this position is now suddenly necessary, or why Jo Bonner was the person to fill it. The only thing known about Jo Bonner’s new salary is that it will be substantial. No one

official job description). Administrators should tell us what Jo Bonner’s day-to-day and week-to-week responsibilities will be. Second, they should tell us why this job is being created now. We haven’t had a position like Bonner’s in the past. Has something changed? Have administrators come to some realization, some kind of paradigm change, that necessitates the creation of such a position? If so, they need to tell us what it was. F i n a l ly, a d m i n i st r a tors need to tell us why Jo Bonner, specifically, got this job. There are a lot of congressmen in Alabama. Why do we need the one who’s related to our president? This is important because Jo Bonner is going to draw his salary from your – and my – tuition costs. He’s going to have jurisdiction over your – and my – university. We didn’t apply to the University, pay through the nose to go here and work to keep our grades up so that the Bonner family can keep its members in comfort. We do these things because we want the best education we can get, provided by the best individuals for the job. This school owes us nothing less.

but Jo Bonner appears to have been given the chance to apply for the job. To be blunt, it appears that this new position was tailormade to give our president’s brother a job at the Capstone. That’s a longer way of saying this taxpayer-funded position was created not for the taxpayers, and not for the students, but for the Bonners. I suppose UA administrators expect the student body to trust that nepotism was not a factor in Jo Bonner’s hiring. But frankly, my trust doesn’t extend quite this far. So what should UA administrators do to prove their integrity? For starters, they should tell us what the vice chancellor of government relations and economics will do. I’m not talking about some meaningless piece of fluff, like “harnessing the diverse strengths of the three campuses for the economic betterment of the state Nathan James is a junior and nation” (Jo Bonner’s majoring in public relations.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

‘Fairly common’ immunizations should be choice, not requirement for students Dear Editor, I wonder if your readers are aware of the recent droves of students visiting the Student Health Center to receive their compulsory immunizations? Most of these students are not visiting the SHC because they desire to be immunized but because the University has prevented them from registering for the fall semester unless they undergo immunization. I have no sympathy with this policy. Who, after all, should be able to decide if they require treatment for a health problem? The

University has decided that it is capable of making that decision for students of all classifications, from undergraduates living in campus dorms to graduate students who live outside the UA community. In a conversation with a senior official at the SHC, I was advised that the immunizations required by the University are “fairly common” and that our policy is not unlike the policies of other institutions around the country. Roughly 90 years ago, the University was in lockstep with the world in requiring “mentally deficient” people

As an atheist, I found it incredibly demeaning that my conscience should be more or less declared invalid because I do not have a religious leader. Do we not seek to build a tolerant climate on our campus? The medical official at the SHC was not prepared to comment on this issue. Forcing people to undergo medical treatment is a reci-

Parking permits sold can exceed total spaces By Andy McWhorter Staff Reporter With multiple new construction projects and the evergrowing student body requiring more parking facilities, students have voiced their displeasure with the parking situation on The University of Alabama campus. The director of parking services for the University, Chris D’Esposito, discussed the issues by providing ample parking and current plans to alleviate the situation, including a new 750-space parking deck for the Riverside East area. Records obtained from parking services indicate that over the previous academic year, residential permits sold nearly equaled or, in some cases, exceeded the total number of parking spaces available for each permit. For example, 3,295 permits were issued for 3,339 parking spaces in Yellow Residential zones. For commuter permits, sales typically exceeded the number of available spaces. The greatest disparity for all permits was with the Red Commuter Northeast zone, where 4,863 permits were issued for 2,978 spaces. These numbers reflect total sales, so permits that are sold, returned at a later time and then resold are counted twice. D’Esposito said while sales often exceeded availability, different class times and use patterns allowed the University to oversell. “While you see the number of commuter permits purchased either almost exceeds or does in fact exceed the number of physical spaces for each particular zone, varying class schedules and personal use allows the University the ability to oversubscribe each commuter zone,” D’Esposito said. Ford King, a junior majoring in political science, said he prefers the commuter permit to

the residential permit. “I had a yellow permit my freshman year,” King said. “The commuter permit is better. The residential lot is a lot more packed.” Parking permits at the University are valid for one year. This year’s current permits are valid from Aug. 16, 2012 to Aug. 15, 2013. While students can preregister for a permit, sales continue throughout the year. “Actually we are still selling permits to students who attend summer academic sessions,”

D’Esposito said. King said parking during summer months is much more consistent than parking during the regular academic year. “The parking deck is almost empty every day during the summer,” King said. “During the regular year, it depends on what time of day you show up, and it’s really inconsistent. Sometimes it’s completely overloaded. Sometimes it’s suspiciously empty.” Parking services considers a number of variables when determining how many

commuter permits to issue in a given year. Residential permits are not as tightly controlled, since the housing supply works to regulate the demand for permits. “For commuter zones, we base our sales and allotments on a few considerations: the number of physical spaces that will be available in each zone for the upcoming year, previous year’s used parking space, capacity levels in each zone and anticipated enrollment,” D’Esposito said. “Currently, residential permit sales are

not capped.” “Parking is going to get increasingly frustrating until they expand the parking infrastructure,” King said. “Right now, it feels like the parking system is taxed to capacity during the year. It’s not horrible, but it’s just about at the most people it can handle.” Parking services is not a funded department at the University, meaning they receive no state funds for their operation. “We are responsible for our own expenses, including

employee wages and benefits, our equipment, software, etc.,” D’Esposito said. The department is currently paying down a debt of over $1 million on existing parking decks, in addition to over $1 million annually for parking deck maintenance, over $1 million annually for surface lot and roadway maintenance, and annual subsidies to CrimsonRide for the purchase of new transit buses. “So as you can see, our expenses are in the several million dollars annually,” D’Esposito said. The removal of 290 spaces of the Riverside East Yellow Residential surface over winter break led to transportation services allowing students with yellow permits to park in the Red Northeast Commuter Campus Drive lot and to seniors and resident advisors being offered $50 Bama Cash to park in an alternate location. D’Esposito said a new parking deck will make this spillover unnecessary in the future. “I am pleased to say this measure will not be necessary in the 2013-2014 academic year,” D’Esposito said. “The opening of the new Riverside East parking deck this fall will eliminate the need for supplemental parking in the Yellow Residential parking zone. Expected opening date is mid-August pending any unforeseen weather or construction delays.” The Student Government Association has also joined the effort in finding ways to alleviate the parking problem at the University. “We are currently researching the parking app and have not made any decisions as to whether we would implement one or not,” Leela Foley, SGA press secretary, said. “Alleviating the parking issue is high on SGA’s list of priorities, but with a growing campus, there are many elements involved and no simple solution.”

UA has history of protests, demonstrations

CW | Austin Bigoney

CW | Austin Bigoney

Students have demonstrated their views through protest for decades on topics such as war, abortion, racial segregation and the Westboro Baptist Church. The University is no stranger to campus protest activity. By Chris Kowalski Contributing Writer Protests and demonstrations are as ingrained in the history of The University of Alabama as Paul â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bearâ&#x20AC;? Bryant and Nick Saban. From simple messages chalked onto the sidewalks around the Quad to large rallies, acts of protest have defined and polarized campus for decades. In the 1960s, race relations spurred protests against Autherine J. Lucyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission as the first black student and Gov. George Wallaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defiant stand in front of Foster Auditorium against federally mandated desegregation of schools. Demonstrations at the University in May 1970 against the war in Vietnam and the shootings at Kent State University led to the burning of a building and the campus being placed under strict rules. Almost 50 years after the famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stand in the Schoolhouse Door,â&#x20AC;? protests on the UA campus center around more modern issues, such as abortion and homosexuality, yet they still hold the ability to stir emotions and alter mindsets.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protests must not be halfhearted. They must be firm in their beliefs if they hope to accomplish the change they seek,â&#x20AC;? Bill Stewart, professor emeritus of political science, said. Fifty years ago, the ongoing civil rights movement had already begun to dismantle the institutions of segregation and had chosen the state of Alabama as one of its major battlegrounds. The range of views and positions varied throughout the country, state and even on campus. Anti-war sentiment defined the May 1970 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Days of Rageâ&#x20AC;? protest against the Vietnam conflict and the more recent mock raid orchestrated by the Students for a Democratic Society as an act of defiance against the campaign in Iraq. The most recent protests have been focused on prevalent social issues. The group Bama Students for Life held an antiabortion protest earlier this spring, and the Westboro Baptist Church held a picket against homosexuality on May 18 that drew counter-protesters. Mark Mayfield, assistant director of the Office of Student

Media and adjunct professor of journalism at the University, said a protest becomes successful if it unites a group of people who would not otherwise voice their oppositions in an individual manner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to organize a protest in the way that has impact, and that means numbers. The truth is that three or four people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a difference,â&#x20AC;? Mayfield said. High visibility and publicity have been hallmarks of the most recent demonstrations. The use of large, graphic images on the Quad gave the Bama Students for Life protest a large and diverse audience, and decades of national attention added increased attention to the Westboro Baptist Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protest on campus. Although sometimes combative, Stewart said protests are not necessarily a bad thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people at a university protest, they do not indicate an unhealthy campus; they indicate one that is healthy and progressive,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows that the students are aware of what is going on in the real world.â&#x20AC;?

Shopping center planned for Cedar Crest area By Chris Kowalski Contributing Writer The city of Tuscaloosa recently proposed a new project intended to bring growth and revitalization to the stormdamaged Cedar Crest neighborhood, including retail development and a vehicular and pedestrian bridge. Alumni Development & Construction LLC of Clanton, Ala., and Tuscaloosa-based H.A. Edwards Inc. released a site map of the envisioned shopping center, named “Tidal Town,” at the May 20 meeting of the city’s Planning and Development Commission. The proposed area of the 257,000-square-foot shopping center situates the development in the cleared lots behind Krispy Kreme and Full Moon BBQ. A series of single and two-story commercial buildings alongside parking lots and a two-

story garage have been designed to one day fill the now-vacant space. The project will open up multiple venues for new restaurants and retailers. Brendan Moore, development ombudsmen for the city of Tuscaloosa, said four to six stores and restaurants are in talks with the developers, all of which would be new to the Tuscaloosa market. “It will be a great step forward to promote economic growth and stop salestax leakage in the area,” he added. The economic growth of the city and surrounding area is a driving force behind the support of developments like Tidal Town and The Lofts at City Center, a multiuse residential and commercial development under construction nearby. “We want people who live in Tuscaloosa and west Alabama to stay here and shop,” Donny

and after the tornado. ... The city is on the radar screens of many developers and retailers in the Southeast,” Jones added. Moore said the new developments will help continue the development of unique shopping destinations for people in Tuscaloosa and West Alabama. “We’re just getting started with our economic growth, and we’re very optimistic about that,” Moore said. But commercial development is not the only change intended for Cedar Crest.

over the Norfolk Southern and Kansas City Southern rail lines. “This bridge will bring many positive benefits to the town, including lower vehicle emissions and shorter travel time,” Savannah Howell of the mayor’s office of recovery options said. “Also, this bridge would help connect the city and promote a healthier, pedestrian lifestyle.” When constructed, the bridge would link The University of Alabama campus with the Tidal Town shopping center and The Lofts at City Center developments through the Tuscaloosa City Walk, a project with the goal of linking various neighborhoods and commercial areas through pedestrian and biking trails. “This growth shows a lot about [the] strength of the city’s recovery,” Moore said.

State bill passed to improve storm-damaged schools By Ryan Phillips Contributing Writer On the last day of the Alabama legislative session, a bill was passed by the House of Representatives and signed by Gov. Robert Bentley that will issue $30 million of recovery funds to schools around the state. The bill, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Napoleon Bracy, D-Ala., of Mobile, Ala., provides money for schools around the state that suffered damage from recent storms. Three schools in Tuscaloosa are among the damaged that will receive supplemental aid to rebuild. Daniel Meissner, chairman of the Tuscaloosa City School Board, said schools in both the city and county school

“

This will help the city continue its goal of rebuilding in stronger, safer and smarter ways. — Deidre Stalnaker

systems of Tuscaloosa will be given the funds to rebuild or repair. “House Bill 517 provides for a bond issue totaling $30 million statewide to pay for capital improvements to repair storm damage for specified schools,” Meissner said. “There are two schools in the Tuscaloosa City School System that will receive a part of that

money – University Place Elementary/Middle School which was heavily damaged and Alberta Elementary which was destroyed.” Meissner said two schools in the city school system and one in the county system will be the recipients of the aid, and the money will be split among the schools based on damage. “The bill provides $3 million for Alberta Elementary and $2.5 million for University Place Elementary,” Meissner said. “The money will be used to help defray some of the costs of the repair and rebuilding – an additional part of the bond issue is allocated to the Tuscaloosa County School System for repairs to one of its storm-damaged schools.”

With new facility openings and rebuilding efforts on the horizon, some projects have already gained traction. “University Place is set to reopen in August, and we have recently broken ground on the new Alberta School of the Performing Arts, which is set to open in August of 2014,” Meissner said. “We greatly appreciate the legislature passing this bond issue to assist in the cost of these rebuilds and look forward to reopening of our schools.” In the Tuscaloosa County School System, Holt Elementary, which has been completed, will receive funds after renovating and repairing storm damage. Tina West, secretary to the superintendent of

the Tuscaloosa County School System, said Holt Elementary would be awarded $2.5 million from the current bond issue. “They will receive funds as a kind of reimbursement because the building has already been completed,” West said. “We had to move the students from one school site to another, but now the school is open and rebuilt.” After storm damage temporarily changed the educational landscape of Tuscaloosa, the hope is that the students can get back into their normal routines in refurbished facilities. “We are glad that Holt Elementary has already been rebuilt,” West said. “We just want the students to get back to where they were, in

good facilities.” The new improvements will only add to the continuing rebuilding effort all over the city of Tuscaloosa. Deidre Stalnaker, communications director for the city of Tuscaloosa, is confident this funding via HB 517 will be a major step forward for rebuilding in the wake of one of the most devastating storm seasons in state history. “The city is pleased to hear of Gov. Bentley’s new bond issues for schools in the area,” Stalnaker said. “This will help the city continue its goal of rebuilding in stronger, safer and smarter ways. We look forward to seeing the improvements that these measures will yield for the Tuscaloosa area.”

Nashville rock band Modoc to visit Tuscaloosa while on tour By Becky Robinson Staff Reporter Modoc, a Nashville, Tenn., rock band, will be playing at Green Bar Thursday at 9 p.m. The band originally started in small-town Modoc, Ill., before moving to Nashville, Tenn., to jump-start their music careers. Since then, Modoc has released one album, “Fortune & Fame,” with another set for release this August. Eric Hurt, Modoc’s manager, has been working with the band for almost a year. “Actually, I saw those guys play at South by Southwest a couple of years ago,” Hurt said. “Me and a friend just walked into a club, and [Modoc] got up on the stage – the club was packed out – and they just absolutely killed me. I thought they were fantastic.” Although Modoc played shows at festivals throughout the U.S., its big break came when its unreleased song “Devil On My Shoulder” was featured in a promo for the ABC television show program “666

Submitted

Park Avenue.” “Originally, I was working on music for the movie ‘Twilight’ over at Universal, and I was sending songs to the music supervisor who worked on the

film,” Hurt said. While the song was not used for “Twilight,” it was picked up for “666 Park Avenue.” Clint Culberson, lead singer of Modoc, said hearing the band’s

music on television was a humbling experience. “To hear your own voice through the television is a little strange,” Culberson said. “For me it was pretty humbling to be a part of a commercial. Being able to play music, you kind of feel like you’re cheating somebody. It’s hard work, but it’s a lot of fun.” Culberson said Modoc’s music is inspired by classics like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin but also newer artists such as the Black Keys and Kings of Leon. Hurt described the band’s sound as “indie rock with an edge.” Hurt said the band decided to visit Tuscaloosa because of the importance to cover all cities within the Southeastern region. “Some of [touring] is really trial and error,” Hurt said. “It kind of starts off by wanting to build a buzz and a following in the region.” Hurt said if the city responds well, the band will plan future gigs. If not, the city is “struck from the list.” “We’ve come across a lot of what people would think to

be random cities, but a lot of ‘random cities’ are the ones where we have the most fun,” Culberson said. “We’ve found a lot of the times the small towns are the most surprising in people that really get where we’re coming from, and we get where they’re coming from. There’s a lot more to America than just the big cities.” Modoc will be playing Center Fest in Milwaukee, Wis., June 30 and LouFest in St. Louis, Mo., which is put on by the same group that produces

UA theatre students take show to Gulf Shores By Taiza Troutman Contributing Writer The University of Alabama’s SummerTide Theatre program is returning to Gulf Shores, Ala., for its 10th anniversary season. Since summer 2004, UA’s College of Arts and Sciences department of theatre and dance has brought a variety of professional shows to Gulf Shores, Ala., featuring UA theatre students. This year’s production, “Jubilee: Songs of and about Alabama,” is an original music

revue conceived by director Edmond Williams, musical director Raphael Crystal and choreographer Stacy Alley. The festival showcases songs from Alabama’s musical history, like “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Stars Fell on Alabama,” as well as a few originals. “We’ve been given permission to use some of the bestknown Alabama songs and also have selected some that may have been forgotten,” said Crystal. “Some of the songs will be heard for the first time, some for the first time in this century.”

The show’s concept of “Jubilee” comes from an experienced team of Alabama faculty members. Crystal is the founder and director of the musical theatre program at the Capstone. She also teaches musical theater courses and is a professional composer, musical director and pianist. Williams is a UA theatre professor and a founding chairman of the UA department of theatre and dance. “I think over the last 10 years we’ve gotten a sort of audience base that’s always there, who always come,” Williams said.

“I think there are people who would enjoy SummerTide even if they did not know the show.” The 2013 SummerTide production features a talented cast of UA student performers. The castmates include Rachel Baber, Kiley Gipson, Jessica Berzack, Michael Luwoye, Sarah Kathryn Bonds, Drey Mitchell, Will Erwin, Will Travis and Karina Simonis. “Jubilee” will continue to run through June 28, with performances every Tuesday - Thursday at 8 p.m. at the George C. Meyer Performing Arts Center.

Kentuck Art Night celebrates drive-in theaters By Megan Miller Staff Reporter On June 6, 1933, the first drive-in movie theater opened. Eighty years later, Kentuck has used this idea as inspiration for its monthly Art Night to be held Thursday, from 5 to 9 p.m. in the Courtyard of Wonders. After a colony of bats made Kentuck’s main building its home, the staff at Kentuck began to think outside the box for ways they could continue to host Art Night each month without the use of their main building. “We were looking for a theme, and the first thing we thought of was to see what happened on that day in history,” Michaela Lewellyn Humpal, program manager for Kentuck said. “We ran with the theme of this day in history and pop culture.” During Art Night, there will be an outdoor screen set up that will loop vintage intermission ads and a drive-in themed photobooth set up for guests to use. “Our hope is to engage people to have their pictures taken, and we’ll post them on Facebook,”

IF YOU GO... • What: Kentuck Art Night • When: Thursday, 5 - 9 p.m. • Where: Courtyard of Wonders Humpal said. Additionally, Kentuck will be serving cob oven pizza, made with fresh dough from Mary’s Cakes & Pastries and local produce from Homegrown Alabama farmers market. Each Art Night, the Clay Place selects two members to present their work, and Kay Smith and Robert Lewis were chosen for June. Smith said she likes to incorporate elements from nature into her work whenever possible. She will be sharing mostly hand-built pieces, but she will also show thrown pieces during Art Night. Smith wa s introduced to clay during her senior year in high school through

art club but did not have the opportunity to work with it on a consistent basis until she took a job with a tile production company. After Smith retired four years ago, she took a class from local potter Kerry Kennedy to learn how to throw, and a year later, Kentuck opened its Clay Co-Op as a community studio. “I immediately joined and continue to enjoy creating art from clay,” Smith said. “I look forward to meeting our guests and speaking with them at art night.” This will be Lewis’ first independent showcase with Kentuck, only having shown once prior at the Kentuck Festival in 2007 as a part of the Crimson Ceramic Society. Lewis works in several different artistic disciplines, including ceramics, printmaking and painting, and will be showing ceramic pieces at Art Night. Lewis said he has a spiritual inspiration for most of his creations, and he will be demonstrating the coil method of constructing a clay vessel. “I anticipate that this will be a great opportunity to share my art with others,” Lewis said. “Kentuck is a wonderful organization of which I am proud to be a member.”

In addition to the vintage intermission ads being looped, cob oven pizza, the drive-in inspired photobooth and the ceramic art being shown, George McLaurine will be the musical guest. McLaurine has been playing Art Night regularly for the last seven years and said his music is a mixture of traditional folk, old-time gospel standards through the years, country, bluegrass and blues. McLaurine said live music can be directed and changed at will, depending on the audience, so he doesn’t prepare a program beforehand. “It is fun, and it is challenging and it is very rewarding when people leave with a smile on their face,” McLaurine said. “Art Night is a personal but shared experience.” Humpal said because of the closing of the gallery space, the staff will continue to come up with ways to host Art Night until they can get back into the other building. “We’re going to play with these ideas of ‘what is art’ until we get back into our main building,” Humpal said. “We want people to come and mingle and celebrate art in all of its different forms.”

Regional produce encourages â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Abbey Crain and Becky Robinson CW Staff Sonja Rossow, art professor at The University of Alabama, decided to buy all local and organic produce one year ago. She said in those 12 months, she has found Tuscaloosa to be relatively adaptive to her needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main reason for buying local food is simply number one to support the local economy,â&#x20AC;? Rossow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important that we do that kind of thing because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving farmers a chance to do what they love to do: working on a farm.â&#x20AC;? Rossow always had an interest in farmers markets but recently began educating herself on the importance of buying local for health, economic and environmental reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, the big thing is we are becoming more environmentally aware of what we are doing to our planet,â&#x20AC;? Rossow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The word is out that these big agrobusinesses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeding us but just their profit margin.â&#x20AC;? Rossow now has a personal relationship with many farmers at the three farmers markets in the Tuscaloosa and Northport areas, as well as farmers closer to her hometown in Prattville, Ala.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings together a sense of community, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just buying from a big retailer, but you get to know the people who own the farm, what they produce and how they produce it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Even local businesses have started tailoring their menus to include more local produce. Tres Jackson, owner of Epiphany, a farm-to-table restaurant on Greensboro Avenue, said he also recognizes the importance of supporting local farmers. Jackson said local farmers are more abundant than they were 10 years ago when he first opened the restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just come full circle to what it was 70, 80, 100 years ago,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandparents grew and sold vegetables, shelled peas, canned preserves and things like that. That was before you had mass transport and 18-wheelers and food warehouses. That was what people did. They ate locally and regionally, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of turned back to that.â&#x20AC;? Jackson buys a majority of his food from Snowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bend Farm in Coker, Ala. The farm sells seasonal produce and whole, grass-fed hogs to individuals and restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, you know where things are coming from,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raising it and how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising it. Whereas if you get it off a big

truck, it might have been sitting there for two weeks. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what was done with it, rather than someone 10 minutes away, who brings it to you themselves. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more intimacy to it [and] respect for the ingredients.â&#x20AC;? Jackson changes Epiphanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu according to what ingredients are seasonal. He said this forces the food-making process to stay creative, accenting a dish with meats rather than having a meal revolve around it. Mo Fiorella, a UA graduate student studying book arts, said buying local allows patrons to learn about what is in their food, eliminating the â&#x20AC;&#x153;surprisesâ&#x20AC;? larger distributors often include in processed foods. She also manages the Homegrown Alabama student group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a few ways to look at buying and eating locally,â&#x20AC;? Fiorella said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you buy local, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting money back into your own community. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also buying something from close by, which means it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t traveled very far and should be very fresh, so eating local tastes better.â&#x20AC;? Fiorella said she believes Tuscaloosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local produce niche is ever-growing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More and more businesses are realizing the appeal of local, and it extends beyond farmers markets,â&#x20AC;? Fiorella said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that because it is becoming easier to buy local food, more people are developing relationships with their farmers and artisans and are becoming more aware of what it means to be local.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the three community-acclaimed farmers markets in Tuscaloosa, a new all-local store called Alabama Goods opened on the Strip in April. Sherry Hartley, a Birmingham native, began Alabama Goods with her business partner in 2007. Since its conception, it has expanded from an online store to two physical stores in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. After opening in April, Hartley said she thinks the store will thrive in the Tuscaloosa community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking for a business to start, and we were talking about what the gaps in the marketplace are,â&#x20AC;? Hartley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[We] identified that there really was not a source that someone could go to either a store or individuals

to buy a good selection of things made in Alabama.â&#x20AC;? Alabama Goods has local handmade art and crafts, as well as a large selection of locally made jellies, honey, cookies, BBQ sauces and nuts. The honey from Alabama Goods comes from beehives in Alabama. Jackson said this honey is healthier than the honey in big supermarkets, especially when used for treating certain pollen allergies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresher, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthier,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey you find in grocery store shelves comes from several different countries.â&#x20AC;? Jackson hopes to highlight local gems in the state through Alabama Goods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great factor about our store is that there is so much talent in Alabama

and we h a v e things all throughout the state that are made in the state that are reflective of the essence and the charm of

[Alabama],â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. Rossow said she is not the only one to notice the advantages of buying local food. Restaurants and grocery stores are noticing the trend, and some are starting to cater to the informed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are becoming more aware and wanting to have that sense of place that they know they can go to their farmer and find out when, where and how this is produced,â&#x20AC;? Rossow said. The Homegrown Alabama market is open every Thursday in April through October from 3 to 6 p.m. at Canterbury Episcopal Chapel. The Tuscaloosa River Market is open every Tuesday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.

Strip gains new nightlife hot spot, High Tide Bar By Kevin Brophy Contributing Writer High Tide Bar, the latest addition to the Strip, will host its grand opening Friday at 8:30 p.m. Shay Dawkins, co-owner and CEO of High Tide Bar and a 2010 University of Alabama graduate, said the bar will bring an experience visitors cannot get anywhere else. “What makes us unique is the small bar feel, that when you walk in you’ll be surrounded by friends,” Dawkins said. “It sounds cliché, but we’re going to have that ‘Cheers’ type of atmosphere.” High Tide Bar is replacing Horny’s Bar and Grill, also owned by Dawkins, located on Red Drew Avenue, right off University Boulevard. “We had talked about remodeling in order to create a cleaner, more professional setting,” said Adam Johnston, co-own-

er and general manager of High Tide Bar. “We wanted to make it more of a community bar, which I feel differs from some of the places around here.” Instead of hiring a crew to remodel the bar, all work was done by the managers. “I built the whole bar,” Johnston said. The layout will consist of the main bar, three wooden tables and a small stage where solo acoustic acts are welcomed. In July, a bubble panel aquarium will be built into the bar and will seat 50 people. Dawkins said “any [music] that creates a positive vibe” will be played, such as rock, country and contemporary hits. The happy hour specials are already set as $2 domestics, $3 imports, $3 fireballs and signature $4 High Tide drinks, which will be served in 16 oz. souvenir cups patrons will be able to keep.

“We want to be known for our drinks, like our one-of-a-kind margaritas,” bar manager Jessica Fanton said. “Our bartenders are personal people; our customers won’t just be some face, but a name as well.” High Tide Bar plans to incorporate more craft beer and have topshelf items as specials. The bar staff consists of Eric Gonzalez Tablada, a 2013 UA graduate, and Josh Neese, a junior majoring in chemical engineering. “We’re open-minded to ideas,” Dawkins said. “We want our customers to come up to us with their suggestions, whether it be a type of drink or a song selection.

Know what your diet entails before jumping on the uninformed bandwagon By Taiza Troutman Contributing Writer With Americans’ knack for fad dieting, it is no secret that many of us have sworn our allegiance to the latest of these diet crazes: the gluten-free diet. We see the tag “gluten-free” on food products from breads and salad dressings to snack foods at the movie theaters, and even a new pizza crust option at Domino’s. As fad dieting has become such a staple in American culture over the past couple of decades, many of us have jumped on the gluten-free bandwagon without really knowing the truth behind the diet itself. First, many people who see the gluten-free labels really have no idea what gluten actually is. Gluten is a protein

found in almost all forms of wheat, as well as rye, barley and triticale, a cross between wheat and rye. Secondly, many people have the misconception that the gluten-free diet is simply a healthier food choice, like choosing a low-fat or lowcarb option, but it is in fact a lifestyle. The gluten-free diet lifestyle was first created by doctors whose patients suffered from the chronic gastrointestinal disorder known as Celiac disease. Celiac sufferers have a zero-tolerance policy for the gluten protein. The smallest trace of gluten consumed by sufferers can cause chronic stomach pain, diarrhea, bloating, nausea and vomiting because of the extreme damage that gluten does to their extra sensitive gastrointestinal tract.

If the symptoms of Celiac disease go untreated and gluten exposure continues with Celiac patients, more severe complications including cancer, infertility and osteoporosis can occur. Recently there have been reports of many non-Celiac patients reporting gluten sensitivity, which in some ways mimics some of the symptoms that Celiac patients experience. With gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease combined affecting about 29 percent of Americans, these conditions have caused a large spark in the new gluten-free diet food frenzy, making it easier for those with these health issues to find a variety of satisfying foods that meet their dietary needs. So what about those who choose the gluten-free lifestyle for diet purposes and

not medical purposes? Well, there are some things that you might want to watch out for. First, because a food product says it is gluten-free does not make it a healthier choice. In fact, some glutenfree foods can actually cause weight gain over time. Often, gluten is used as a common filler in many of our favorite foods like pizza dough for elasticity, bread for its spongy texture, and sauces and soups for thickness. If gluten is removed from many of these foods, it is often replaced by a more sugary, fattening option that may be free of gluten but higher in calories, fat or sugar. Also, drastically increasing or decreasing your intake of gluten can cause changes in energy, and a significant decrease can cause nutrient

deficiencies. As far as using the diet as a weight loss tactic, many people see results not just from removing the gluten, but because the gluten-free lifestyle drastically limits the foods that may be consumed. Many types of bread, pastas, sauces, dressings, processed foods, flours, beer, gravies and candies all contain gluten. Cutting out so many food options and replacing them with fresh fruits, vegetables, non-battered meats, fish and poultry can indeed help aid weight loss and a healthier lifestyle. The gluten-free diet can be confusing for many people, especially since making the wrong gluten-free decisions can cause what many think of as a great diet backfire. When starting the gluten free plan — as well as any new

health plan — it is always important to know the facts of what the diet entails before grabbing a new variety of snacks simply because of its popularity.

Vintage Market breaks for summer months

Submitted

The outdoor pavilion showcased vinyl records, homemade earrings and other vintage items. The market attracted a large number of visitors both on its debut in December and its summer reopening. By Grace Hagemann Contributing Writer Regional artists, collectors and vendors gathered Sunday afternoon for the last 5th Street Vintage Market of the spring. The market first debuted in December 2012, hoping to bring a retro vibe to the Tuscaloosa and Northport communities. Sunday the outdoor pavilion was alive with various tables full of homemade earrings, vinyl records and other vintage finds. The 5th Street Vintage Market is a collaborative effort of cura-

tors Lori Watts, owner of This Ol’ Thing Vintage; Syliva Parker, also known as DJ Tom Kat Kitten; and Jamie Cicatiello, owner of Grace Aberdean Habitat Alchemy. “Our goal is to give the West Alabama community a place to find a variety of unique and oneof-a-kind vintage and artisan treasures and also to support local businesses and charities,” Parker said. The market is held four times in the spring and fall on the first Sunday of the month from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. It can be found at

the Northport Pavilion just outside of downtown Northport, Ala. “We knew Tuscaloosa needed a new kind of shopping experience, like we had seen in larger cities, and when the perfect venue was built, we were ready to go,” Watts said. The 5th Street Vintage Market has seen a positive response from the community. After its introduction, the market has become increasingly popular with its customers and has grown to an average of 40 vendors.

“I am overwhelmed,” Watts said. “We have had such good feedback from customers and vendors alike. We now have vendors from all over the state that have contacted us and come to the market, so our little local thing is growing.” Nicole Marcia, a senior majoring in business management at The University of Alabama, spent the day shopping and conversing with vendors at the market. “I really enjoyed the ambiance of the 5th Street Vintage Market,” Marcia said. “The ven-

dors were extremely friendly and explained the history behind the antiques they were selling. You could tell everyone had a genuine appreciation and passion for what they had.” The variety of goods sold at the market varies from vintage clothing to handmade soaps and everything in between. Many of the market vendors also sell their items online at Etsy.com or in personal shops. “My favorite part is all the vendors coming back every month and saying ‘hey’ to each other, seeing what new stuff they have

and commiserating,” Cicatiello said. “It’s really nice to have that community among the sellers.” The market will take a brief break during the months of July and August to avoid the summer heat and prepare for the fall. “Fall is usually a good time in Tuscaloosa because so many people come to town,” Watts said. “We are going to take this break to gather more vendors and make the market even better.” The first 5th Street Vintage Market of the fall season will be held Sept. 8.

GlowRage brings 2nd paint party to 4th & 23rd Bar By Alexandra Ellsworth Staff Reporter Hundreds of people packed into a bar dancing and drinking may not be anything new to the Tuscaloosa bar 4th & 23rd, but throw in gallons of paint, and it becomes an innovative experience.

June 21, bringing the lights, sound, paint and glow girls back to 4th & 23rd. Laura Oswalt, bar manager at 4th & 23rd, said the last GlowRage party was a success. “It was absolutely packed,” she said. “We had probably 350 people.” Oswalt said they would let in as many people as they could without exceeding fire code, and they are expecting a similar turnout at this month’s party. Oswalt said the bar chose to host GlowRage because it

offered something different to Tuscaloosa’s night life. “Most places [in Tuscaloosa] have never had anything quite like this, so we thought it would be interesting and something new,” Oswalt said. April Smelley, a junior majoring in biology and marine biology, attended the last GlowRage party at 4th & 23rd with her boyfriend and another friend. She hopes to be able to attend this month’s party as well. “It is definitely an interesting time,” she said. “The DJ

is playing really loud music, and everyone is dancing and drinking, and there is paint everywhere.” Most people were wearing white, Smelley said, but there were some creative costumes as well. “There were some people in funny outfits, some were wearing tutus, and a lot of people had on sunglasses even though it was 10 p.m.,” she said. Smelley said there were bottles of paint for sale and a DJ. The GlowRage girls came

out onto the stage at 11 p.m. with paint canons to splash the audience in color. “The girls were drenching everyone in paint,” Smelley said. Oswalt said it would be wise for the party-goer to wear clothes he or she does not mind getting dirty. 4th & 23rd will have drink specials, but Oswalt said it has not been decided what they would be. Although the paint is waterbased and nontoxic, Smelley said she doesn’t recommend waiting long to wash it off

skin. “You have to be careful,” she said. “If it gets in your eyes, it’s really uncomfortable. It is water-based, but if it sits on your skin for too long, it can still not feel too good.” The party begins at 9 p.m. and ends at 2 a.m. Tickets can be purchased online at glowrage.com for $15 or $20 at the door. Guests must be 18 or older to get in. “I had a really good time,” Smelley said. “It was fun, and I would definitely recommend it for other people to go.”

Crimson Tide earns national championship GOLF FROM PAGE 1

Junior Cory Whitsett, who was the last player left to save the Crimson Tide in last year’s final round but fell short, stepped up in the last group to secure the victory for Alabama. Sunday, Whitsett won the second, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth holes. After dropping holes at 10 and 11, Whitsett moved back to four up with a par on the 14th. He then clinched the match over Alex Burge on the 15th hole. Seawell said Whitsett’s performance was the icing on the cake of his team’s championship campaign. “I think that was a heavy burden on a young guy,” he said. “But this year his point was the one that put us over the top, and that was really a great thing.” The men’s golf title is the 24th

national championship across all sports and the eighth since 2009. The Crimson Tide also boasts three titles in football, two in gymnastics, one in women’s golf and one in softball. Seawell said the program would not be where it is today had it not been for the commitment of the late Mal Moore. “I think it validates the vision of coach Moore when he hired me, that he wanted Alabama men’s golf to be a viable part of the athletic department,” Seawell said. “I think it also validates the guys and the hard work of all the players that have played here have done.” Seawell said he is already looking ahead to try and continue this team’s elite run. He said the focus is now on the recruiting process. “We’ll move forward here eventually and continue to try to build our program the way we’ve done it, recruiting quality people with quality talent,” Seawell said. “I think if you do that, you always have a great chance of

NBA Finals: a battle of new vs. old By Charlie Potter The NBA Finals matchup is set, and fans of the game are in for a wild series. The San Antonio Spurs swept the Memphis Grizzlies in four games in the Western Conference Finals, while the Miami Heat had to endure seven games before finally downing the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, LeBron James and company get to rest up, as the aging Spurs have been icing their knees before Thursday’s colossal contest. But how do these teams match up against each other? The Pacers gave the Heat fits with their gigantic frontcourt and stifling defense on the outside, and the Spurs match that same defensive mold. That could be the difference in this championship series. Tim Ducan and Tiago Splitter give the Spurs two towers down

low, and that has proven to slow down the Heat’s attack of the rim. The defense of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green will also be beneficial for San Antonio. James and Dwyane Wade are two of the most prolific scorers in the NBA, but with lockdown defenders on them, they struggle to explode for big nights. And Tony Parker is destined to put up at least 20 a game in this series. The only thing Miami can do to defend him is to put James on Parker, and doing that will simply open up the rest of the Spurs scorers for easier opportunities. But can the Spurs outplay the Heat for four games? Sure, Duncan and Parker have been there before and Gregg Popovich is still on the bench calling the shots, but Miami is still Miami. It scores at will and finds ways to win, even when it’s down late in games. Wade and Chris Bosh will find a way out of their slumps,

and the supporting cast will get theirs when the group formally known as the “Big Three” starts attracting too much attention. Guys like Chris Anderson and Ray Allen will find chances to make monumental plays, and that could be more than the Spurs can handle. Regardless of the matchups and former results – James faced the Spurs in the 2007 NBA Finals, and he and his Cleveland Cavaliers were swept – this will be a series that no one wants to miss. It’s old school versus new school, South Florida versus Texas. What more could a fan of sports ask for? In the end, I think it comes down to rebounds and turnovers. If San Antonio can force Miami to make mental mistakes and turn the ball over, it can hang around in this series. But if the Heat wins the rebounding battle, it’s over. I predict that the Heat will win its second consecutive championship in seven games.

OutďŹ elder Kayla Braud sets record, leaves legacy By Caroline Gazzara Staff Reporter

Often out-of-state students find the trek from home to Tuscaloosa can be a hard one. It can be long, difficult and just too far from home. But for Kayla Braud, a Eugene, Ore., native and recent graduate, home was the Alabama softball team. Braud started in all but one game her freshman year and had a .505 batting average. After her freshman year, Braud continued to start in almost every game, compiling a career batting average of .438. Braudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success story continues beyond her freshman year and The University of Alabama. At the end of the 2013 season, Braud was ranked No. 3 in the country for her batting average of .438 and holds the all-time Alabama record

for batting average. Furthermore, Braud was recently named an AllAmerican for the third consecutive year, as well as earning All-Southeastern Conference honors. Softball head coach Patrick Murphy said Braud has accepted the awards with maturity and humility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was one of the best players ever,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was one of the most mature kids weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in the program. Anything that came her way, she dealt with it in a very mature fashion.â&#x20AC;?

At the end of it all, Braud racked up not only awards, but also many career-high averages. She had a total of 271 runs, 344 hits and 182 stolen bases. She also had a .512 on-base percentage, leaving her ranked No. 2 in Alabama history. Having graduated from the University with a degree in public relations and a total GPA of 3.78, Braud will now intern at Nike in Portland, Ore.

UA baseball season comes to end with 9-8 loss to No. 26 Troy Crimson Tide gives up four runs in bottom of 9th inning, drops ďŹ nal game at Tallahassee Regional The 2013 Alabama baseball season came to an end on Sunday afternoon with a heartbreaking 9-8 loss to the 26thranked and third seeded Troy Trojans in an elimination game of the Tallahassee Regional at Mike Martin Field. Despite outhitting Troy 15-8 on the day, the Tide was unable to close out the game as the Trojans scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth to walk off with the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough one and a tough way to lose. I thought our guys competed really hard,â&#x20AC;? head coach Mitch Gaspard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a season that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the edge like that late in games, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to finish most of them off, and today we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We allowed Troy too many opportunities, and they did a good job to get some big hits there in the ninth inning. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away that our guys competed extremely hard, and I think our

young guys learned a lot from the tournament. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to regroup and get better for next year.â&#x20AC;? With the Tide leading 8-5 heading into the bottom of the ninth, Alabama (35-28) turned the ball over to closer Ray Castillo. Castillo (2-3) blew his third save of the season, allowing four runs on three walks, two hit batters and two hits in a third of an inning. The game-winning run came when Castillo walked Brandon Brown with bases loaded to push across Josh McDorman to end the game. With the win, Troy will took on Florida State Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET. Jeremy McGowan threw the final 1.1 innings for the Trojans (42-19) to improve to 2-0 on the season. Alabama collected 15 hits as, eight of the nine starters had at least one hit in the game. Chance Vincent had a careerhigh three hits, going 3-for-4 with a run scored. Hitting lead

off for the first time in his career, Mikey White was 2-for4 with an RBI and a run scored. Seven seniors played their final games for the Tide, as Brett Booth and Andrew Miller finished their careers with two hits in the game. Booth was 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored, and Miller was 2-for-4 and scored twice. Kyle Overstreet was 2-for-5, and Austen Smith was 2-for4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. Although the Trojans had eight hits in the game, they had 12 more base runners thanks to eight walks, three hit batters and an error by the Tide. McDorman was 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs, and Logan Pierce was 2-for-4 with two runs scored for Troy. Kyle Brown doubled in his only at-bat, as he drove in two in the four-run ninth inning. Matthew Howard and Brandon Brown also had two RBIs in the game.

In addition, the Amsterdam, Netherlands, native was named an All-SEC second-team performer, TopDrawerSoccer. comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Freshman Team of the Season, and NSCAA All-South Region performer. Van Dongen earned the accolades after scoring nine

points on three goals and three assists. Seven of the nine points were recorded during Southeastern Conference play. She finished second on the team among field players in minutes played with 1,609 and started all 19 matches last season as a true freshman.

INTRAMURALS

Intramurals keep students ďŹ t, lower stress By Nick Sellers Staff Reporter Despite large academic workloads and other constant pressures, many college students still try to find time for physical activity. Outdoor exercise has been shown to help reduce stress and improve mental health â&#x20AC;&#x201C; issues with which a typical college student routinely struggles. Fortunately for University of Alabama students, the Division of Student Affairs of University Recreation offers numerous intramural sports services for students and staff. Intramurals at the University, organized and coordinated by the Rec, offer a wide variety of athletic leagues that reflect the diverse interests held by the student body. In just the summer semester alone, registration is open for flag football, volleyball, racquetball, soccer, basketball and ultimate Frisbee. Darrell Hargreaves, assistant director of intramural and club sports, said many benefits exist from students participating in intramurals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By participating, you develop teamwork, social skills, sportsmanship, civility and enhancement of your physical fitness,â&#x20AC;? Hargreaves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It

also provides a stress reliever from academics.â&#x20AC;? Intramural sports at the University also offer many job opportunities, employing over 200 students every year, according to its website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working for intramural sports gives our students opportunities to have crucial conversations by refereeing and supervising their

own classmates and peers,â&#x20AC;? Hargreaves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The skills they learn by working with intramural sports â&#x20AC;Ś can help in any field they choose to work in when they leave the Capstone.â&#x20AC;? All first-time intramural participants must create an IM Leagues account, which can be accessed at imleagues.com. Once created, students can use

keeping up with physical activities is the sheer time commitment of their studies and other ventures.

their account to create or join a team for any sport. Athletes must also pay an entry fee and forfeit deposit, which both vary by sport. Though many different competitions exist for intramural participants, Hargreaves said football, basketball, soccer and softball are the most popular.

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furthermore, we allow the students to pick their times and days.â&#x20AC;? He said scheduling is done on a first come, first served basis, so there is no guarantee of obtaining a convenient time. The online registration and scheduling system aids in that process. Both student-athletes and staff of intramural sports at the University â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of which there were 11,000 in the last spring and fall semesters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; benefit from participating in competition with their peers, Hargreaves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most student participants and employees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the immediate impact of those benefits when they are here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But after they leave, they sometimes realize that participating in intramural sports gave them a skill set they currently use in their job after college.â&#x20AC;? The Intramural Sports Office, located in the University Recreation Center is open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every MondayFriday. You may email the program at imsports.bama@gmail. com for general information or uaofficials@gmail.com for job inquiries.
