The University of Alabama System Board of Trustees will meet this week in Mobile to discuss tuition increases, said Kellee Reinhart, vice chancellor for system relations for the University of Alabama System. Trustees will also review a number of proposed renovations and additions, as well as new building projects on campus. A North Campus Student Center, which will include a dining area, housing and residential community offices, and recreational center is to be built in the center of the North Campus Residential Community, according to documents. The center is expected to be approximately 75,000 gross square feet and will offer panoramic views of the Black Warrior River. Sigma Chi fraternity has proposed to be relocated and build a new nearly $7 million house. The new house would include 35 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms in addition to a housemother suite, library, study and formal reception area, among others. Zeta Beta Tau fraternity has proposed a renovation and addition to its existing housing project that will comply with code and accessibility requirements and accommodate growth in membership. Delta Delta Delta sorority has also proposed to be relocated and build a 40,000 gross square foot house in the new Magnolia development behind the President’s Mansion. The house is anticipated to be a three-story facility with a full basement and the capabilities to house approximately 76 members. If the resolution is passed, Russell Hall will also undergo renovations and additions in order to meet the demands of increasing student enrollment and update the existing facility to meet modern educational requirements and standards. Saint Francis of Assisi University Parish has proposed plans to build a new 17,000 square foot church sanctuary, which will accommodate a new worship sanctuary, a day chapel and other support spaces.

This year deadliest tornado Students rethink housing for season in recent U.S. history fall semester after tornado By Stephen Walker Senior Staff Reporter stephenwalker1986@gmail.com In the wee hours of New Year’s Day, 2011, while many Americans were celebrating the beginning of a new year, portions of the Southeastern U.S. were being pummeled by a series of violent tornadoes.

During the first three hours of this year, seven confirmed tornadoes touched down in the state of Mississippi, leaving behind a path of devastation and destruction and kicking off what would become one of the most active tornado seasons in U.S. history. According to the National Weather Service, over a

thousand confirmed tornadoes touched down within the first five months of 2011, causing an estimated $20 million in damage. National Weather Service statistics revealed that 60 of this year’s twisters were “killer tornadoes,” causing

Many UA students who were left homeless after the tornado are having some difficulty finding housing for next year. Before the tornado, Tuscaloosa seemed to have something for every person’s needs, with apartments and houses around the city available for rent. Currently, Tuscaloosa cannot offer this variety of housing anymore, and some of the housing options available are not ideal for everyone. “There aren’t many houses out there for rent,” said Brandon McLeod, a senior who was displaced by the tornado. “I am really looking for a place

whether or not they have an effect on resource production and allocation. “I’m very excited [for A.J.],” Jindapon said. “We are very supportive and we are very, very happy for him…His strength is his discipline, ambition and commitment. Other students try to come up with some research project, but they didn’t actually finish or couldn’t do [the projects]. He’s the only one who could set a time frame and follow the plan. That’s very impressive for a young guy. Whatever he wants to do, he’s going to do it well; he can accomplish anything.”

ABOUT THE PROGRAM The program is named after former U.S. Senator Ernest Hollings, who retired in 2005, and is designed to increase undergraduate training in areas such as research, technology and education; increase public understanding; and to recruit and prepare students for public service careers. Johnson said, “I was extremely honored and thrilled to receive it, since I knew the level of talent of the applicant pool and thought I had a slim chance. I know that the summer internship will give me a chance to broaden my horizons and enjoy opportunities to work in areas that few undergraduates experience.” Johnson, a native of Mesquite, Texas, is majoring in mechanical engineering while taking part in the University’s Computer-Based Honors Program. Johnson’s research focuses on testing the efficiency of alcohol-based fuels and developing methods to improve their stability and efficiency. “I think she’ll have fun with this,” said Marcus Ashford, mechanical engineering professor and Johnson’s adviser. “Sarah is one of the few students that we have that is bright enough and driven enough that she can do things like [the Hollings program], where she gets the opportunity to actually try the things that she likes.” Gary Sloan, UA coordinator of Prestige Scholarships and Awards said, “The University does very well in the scholarship competitions where it’s

not just based on grades, where the students are actually out doing things. That’s where our students really shine – is going out and doing things.” As stated on the Hollings’ scholarship website, the program provides scholars with up to $8,000 per year and a 10-week, full-time internship. Scholars can also receive academic assistance for full-time study during another school year. Collins and Johnson traveled to D.C. for orientation last week and will attend conferences where they will present a paper and/or a poster. “We are very pleased with the selection of these two UA students as recipients of this competitive and distinguished award,” said Dean Shan e Sharpe of the Honors College. “Both Sarah and A.J. were fortunate to engage in research projects throughout their sophomore year and both have an interest in advancing the mission of NOAA, which are key elements in the selection the scholarship recipients. Our faculty is to be commended for time and effort they commit to working with our students on meaningful research experiences.”

Debris removal will take a few more months By Katherine Mitchell Copy Editor mkmitchell2@crimson.ua.edu The April 27 tornado did more than suck up entire buildings and swirl them around in the air – it spat them back out and left residents, government officials and construction companies to clean up the leftover mess. Six and a half square miles of Tuscaloosa were completely destroyed, Mayor Walt Maddox said. As of June 8, 417,439 cubic yards of debris had been removed; that is enough to fill Bryant-Denny Stadium to the top and have more pouring out over the edges. While that number certainly seems impressive, it is still only a fraction of the total debris that was left after the storm. Tuscaloosa had 1.5 million cubic yards of debris total scattered around the city, Maddox said. “What the tornado did in six minutes may take us six years to actually recover,” he said. “We have to be patient, and we have to understand that this is a marathon.” According to Sara Corbett, public affairs specialist from the Army Corps of Engineers, several companies have been responsible for helping out

severe property damage but also tragic loss of life. At least 536 people died in the United States this year as a result of these deadly tornadoes. This number appears especially large when compared to 45 fatalities in 2010 and just 21 deaths in 2009. The April 27 tornadoes, referred to as the “Dixie Outbreak” by the National Weather Service, claimed the lives of at least 335 people and now hold the record for deadliest tornado day (midnight to midnight) in modern history. There are many possibilities for the increased number of tornadoes this year, said Richard

that has a fence for my two dogs; I definitely don’t want to be in an apartment next year.” Before the tornado, McLeod lived in a house behind the CVS on 15th Street. It was fairly close to campus, with space for his dogs to run around. He hasn’t found anything that could accommodate his needs yet. “I’ve looked around campus and around Hargrove,” he said. “I’ve been looking everyday pretty much since it happened.” In order to find a place that is right for him, McLeod might have to start looking in Northport, a solution Mayor Maddox thinks many people may have to resort to. “I think we’ll be close, but there will likely be several hundred people that will have to seek housing outside the city – whether it’s Northport,

with the debris removal in Tuscaloosa. “The debris is actually going to a couple of different places,” Corbett said. “The Black Warrior Solid Waste Facility, Veolia ES Eagle Bluff Landfill, Jug Factory Road Temporary Debris Reduction Site and Peterson Quarry are the four different areas that it’s going to.” Depending on the category of the debris, it is taken to a designated landfill. Vegetative debris is the exception, however, and will be “grinded into a material that can be recycled for a wide variety of uses,” Corbett said, instead of going into a landfill. The hazardous waste will also have to be carefully sorted through, more carefully than other categories of waste, and then finally disposed of properly, she said. This process of debris removal will not be a quick one, much to many residents’ dismay, Maddox said.

Will Terry, a UA junior whose home was destroyed by the tornado, said that although it is disheartening that it will take so long for Tuscaloosa to be a completely normal city again, city officials, members of FEMA and members of the Army Corps are doing the best they possibly can and are prioritizing citizen’s homes first. “The next day [after the tornado] there were already people fixing roofs and stuff,” Terry said. “And the community has done a great job of relocating students who lost their homes. I already have a lease to live at the Woodlands next fall instead of at my house, and they ended up giving all of my roommates and I $50 off per person per month’s rent because we lost our house.” It has been seven weeks today since the tornado hit. As far as completely removing all of the debris from the city and focusing solely on construction and rebuilding, Maddox said he expects the process to

I think it’s a wonder that we are able to ﬁgure out the weather this afternoon, much less seven days out,” he said. “Data changes, and we must roll with the punches to ﬁgure out what our weather is going to do.” —Richard Scott Scott, WVUA’s chief meteorologist. “The jet stream has been stronger than normal this year due to a colder than normal air mass to the north and warmer than normal air mass to the south,” Scott said. A jet stream is a thin, narrow band of wind in the upper atmosphere, according to the National Weather Service. Jet stream winds often reach 100 to 200 miles per hour on a daily basis. These bands of air have

great implications on weather conditions in the lower atmosphere. “A stronger jet creates stronger wind shear and provides a stronger lift for storms,” Scott said. Although most people would likely agree that the slower than usual hurricane season last year is a good thing, Scott said he believes it could be a contributing factor to the high number of tornadoes across the southeast this year.

or in the county, or possibly in another county,” Maddox said. For anyone who isn’t willing to move out of the city of Tuscaloosa, there are still apartment complexes with rooms available. University Village Apartments and Cornerstone Properties, who manage complexes like The Houndstooth and University Downs, are just a few of the places still leasing for fall. Cathy Andreen, director of media relations, said only 80 percent of the off-campus housing was full last year, so they believe student housing needs can be met. FEMA is one of the best options students can look to when trying to receive assistance with finding a new place to live. As of yesterday, FEMA had given $53.8 million in assistance to individuals and households, with $38.3 million of that going towards housing assistance, according to Tim Tyson, a public information specialist for FEMA.

“Disaster survivors who qualify for rental assistance have been able to find temporary lodging,” Tyson said. “We work really closely with the city, the county and the state to locate rental properties.” After all of the other options in and around Tuscaloosa have been exhausted, FEMA temporary housing will be called on as a last resort, Tyson said. The mobile homes come in two models, a three bedroom and a smaller park model. All of the units have never been lived in and are relatively new. Tyson said some temporary housing has already been brought into Tuscaloosa. “We like to get survivors located close to their community, their churches, their schools so they can get into the rebuilding process in as a familiar setting as possible,” he said. “In large scale disasters, such as this one, it’s a difficult concept.”

last a little bit longer. “The timetable is four to six months,” he said. “I think ultimately years. I think the most difficult part is coming up in the next few months in terms of completing debris removal.”

Until then, volunteers and officials will continue the painfully slow process of literally picking up trash and debris all day long. “We’ve got to figure out a way in these areas that have

been impacted to put together a comprehensive plan that allows for high-quality development in a way that shows the progress of this great city,” Maddox said. “It doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy though.”

“The Gulf of Mexico is warmer than normal due to the lack of hurricanes last year in the Gulf,” he said. “Usually, several hurricanes track across the gulf and upwelling cools the gulf temperature a bit. Without that process last year, the gulf stayed warmer than usual.” Often, higher than normal hurricane or tornado seasons that continue for several years are related to weather patterns, Scott said. “[Severe weather conditions] could be related to the lack of pattern change,” Scott said. “Or, this could be related to a La Niña or El Niño pattern, which often sticks around for several years.

These patterns can become a culprit for drought in the deep south or flooding over periods of months and years.” Meteorologists, like Scott, use various tools and sources of data to attempt to predict and understand tornadoes and other storm patterns. “There are lots of tools we use to forecast the weather in the short term and long term,” Scott said. “As for the short and long term, we have lots of computer data we can look at that gives us a guide to what type of weather we can expect.” Meteorologists use data about recent and historic weather patterns to help them understand

current weather phenomena. “We also look at past patterns – as in, what’s been the key factor over the past few days, weeks and months – or historical data, such as what type of weather we often see in a pattern like the one we’re in right now,” Scott said. Even with all the technology available to meteorologists, it is still hard to predict weather patterns since they are constantly changing. “I think it’s a wonder that we are able to figure out the weather this afternoon, much less seven days out,” he said. “Data changes, and we must roll with the punches to figure out what our weather is going to do.”

An ode to the 2010-2011 NBA season By Wesley Vaughn

and Shinedown alongside The Beatles, Zeppelin, Springsteen and Nirvana as the best (re: most likely to be remembered) of a decade? If anything, in twenty years our children will be jamming to Nickelback and Creed the same way we rock out to Poison and Slaughter: with tongue firmly planted in cheek. But back to disco: by September 1979 – two months after Disco Demolition Night – no disco records were in the top 10 and the punk, new wave, and glam rock/ hair metal movements were beginning to sweep the nation (whether this was a good thing or not is up to the reader). It is my sincerest hope that in the coming years this nation will experience a similar musical conflagration – one that leaves in its wake a scorched earth ripe for new and original rock artists to make their mark with a sound that refuses to be derivative; a sound made in garages and basements, not on a computer.

The best NBA season in recent history came to an end when the pure, undaunted knights of the Dallas Mavericks slew the vile dragon that was the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. At least, that was how it seemed. Now, professional basketball is in limbo, as analysts have to apocalyptically footnote all predictions with “assuming we have a season next year.” The thrills of this past season have culminated in a cliffhanger – and we don’t know the release date of the much-anticipated sequel. The 2010-2011 season began last July with the statement euphemized around the world of “I’m taking my talents to South Beach.” LeBron James’ “The Decision” ignited a media and public firestorm around the Miami Heat, a frenzy unseen since the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls. It wasn’t the media’s creation, either; “The Decision” was ESPN’s highest overnight rating for any non-NFL program in 2010. The Heat helped draw attention to this year’s season, but the rest of the league stepped up as well and provided captivating glimpses into the future. Derrick Rose made the leap to elite talent earlier than expected, becoming the youngest player in history to take home the NBA MVP award. Rose highlights the plethora of talented young guards. The lengthy list includes John Wall, Russell Westbrook, Tyreke Evans, Ty Lawson, Stephen Curry, Jeff Teague, Eric Gordon and others. A number of big men also established their presence this year. Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin and Al Horford especially cemented their places as long-term fixtures for their respective teams. The playoffs reflected this talent shift, as older teams began to fall to younger ones. It was a changing of the guard year; the dynasties of the past decade showed signs of their demise. The Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics all failed to reach their respective conference finals. With their elders on the descent, the young cores of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies made deep playoff runs and became top competitors for next year’s Larry O’Brien Trophy. This year belonged to the Mavericks and the Heat though. Five years after Dwayne Wade and the Heat broke the heart of Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks in the 2006 Finals, the rematch was set with good versus evil on the line. It took six historically close games for the Mavericks to take home the franchise’s first championship. Much will be said and argued about the legacies of the players on both sides. Jason Kidd and Nowitzki relinquished their hold on leading all active players in playoff games played without winning a championship. Each has now vaulted in the rankings of the best of all time. Nowitzki has broken into the top 20 with the addition of a ring, achieving something Charles Barkley and Karl Malone never did, and is the best European player in league history. Much more will be said and argued where LeBron James stacks up. The best comparison that has been made so far is to Wilt Chamberlain, with the 2010-2011 Heat playing the part of the 1967-1968 Lakers. Chamberlain enjoyed the life of a celebrity, racked up gaudy stats, was a superhuman athlete, probably relied too much on his jump shot and joined a team with two other stars (Jerry West and Elgin Baylor) in 1967. Sound familiar? In the 1968 Finals, the Lakers ran into the Boston Celtics near the tail end of the Bill Russell dynasty. The Celtics were an undeniable, veteran team that went on to win the series in six games. After the devastating loss, it took that Lakers team four years to win a championship – the only one for that big three. Only time will tell if history repeats itself. But, only time will tell what will happen with the lockout, which leaves us with unanswered questions. Will there be a full season next year? Will there be a hard salary cap instituted? Can the Heat pull it together? Which young team will emerge as the strongest? Will the expected relocations of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard alter the NBA landscape again? Who do we have to blame for this hype and intrigue? I’m taking my blame to South Beach.

GOP debate highlights new contender

Wednesday,

By West Honeycutt

June 15, 2011

The clear winners of Monday night’s Republican presidential debate were Michele Bachman and Newt Gingrich. Bachman announced during the debate that she had filed her paperwork to run and would be making an official announcement soon; Gingrich proved that even though his staff left him (along with his many wives), he is still an intelligent and proven leader. The clear winner of the night, however, was Mitt Romney. Romney, who entered the debate the clear frontrunner, came out unharmed. He said nothing to sabotage himself, and candidates who had previously been attacking him – like Tim Pawlenty – were too afraid to do so onstage. Additionally, Romney was shown in a recent poll to be either tied with or ahead of President Obama, should the general election come down between the two. Add in his financial war chest, and he will continue to lead amongst the Republican candidates. CNN focused far too much on social issues during the debate, rather than the ailing economy. One clearly disappointing moment was when six of the seven candidates condemned gay marriage. Recent studies have shown that as much as one-third of homosexuals vote Republican, and I fear this is something that will inevitably become the civil rights issue of the

century. Republicans condemning it only makes them look outdated and hurts the party’s voter base. Social issues like gay marriage and abortion have a minimal effect on the millions of Americans who are out of a job, struggling to keep their homes or unable to provide for their families. Issues like the economy, quantitative easing (QE1, 2, and potentially 3), the capital gains tax and healthcare, however, can directly affect them and are what Republicans should be focusing their efforts on. Rick Santorum came across as a radical conservative, and, in my opinion, needs to take his campaign back to the 1800’s. Santorum is your grandma’s Republican and has no chance of winning the Republican primary, nor the general election. His whole campaign is anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage and anti-everything-social. During the debate, he failed to adequately address any real issues facing this country. Michele Bachman, however, had the flare that has been missing from the Republican Party. She seemed unafraid to answer any question, did not hesitate with any answer, and she answered with an emotional connection reminiscent of Ronald Reagan. She repeatedly reiterated her record in the United States House of Representatives, where she has attempted to repeal Obamacare, and, according to her, has “put principle over party.” When questioned about the Tea

Party and how it could hurt the Republican Party, she immediately fired back that the Tea Party is “… a wide swath of America and why the left fears [it].” She may really be on to something, and at the very least, her well-spoken and quick-toanswer self could be a real force to reckon with against our articulate, sitting president. Herman Cain failed to live up to his high expectations and comes away from the debate wounded, while Ron Paul remains his himself: intelligent, but coming across as too crazy to be elected our commander-in-chief. The clear loser of the debate, however, is neither Cain nor Paul. Instead, it is its moderator, John King, who replaced the typical timing bells and warning lights with annoying stutters and interruptions. He tried to lighten the mood with questions about “Coke or Pepsi,” and “Dancing with the Stars or American Idol,” but instead, he further annoyed the debate’s audience and greatly detracted from the candidate’s answers. While the debate answered some questions, Americans will still have to wait for a debate where tough questions are asked and direct answers are demanded.

A new age of disco; can’t wait until it dies By John Davis Recently, a friend and I were driving when a song by Katy Perry came on the radio. Or Ke$ha. Or Rihanna. One of those. Anyway, he made the comment that this music is our generation’s disco. It made sense, though I didn’t give it much thought, until one day while I was having lunch at a popular establishment here in Tuscaloosa. Sitting there, conversing about football and work and all other manners of things, I suddenly realized I had been listening to the same bass line over the course of four songs. It was only then that I realized just how right my friend had been. A brief history of disco, per Wikipedia (don’t worry, the article is thoroughly-cited): disco came about in the late sixties and early seventies as a reaction to the rockdominated music scene of the time (think Beatles, Rolling Stones, early Zeppelin, etc.) by various racial and cultural minorities. In terms of musical similari-

ties with today’s pop music, disco essentially coined that thumping bass line one hears. You know, that thump-thump-thump-thump throughout the entire song; it’s this trait that makes two songs indistinguishable if you aren’t paying attention. Disco declined and eventually died following “Disco Demolition Night” at a Chicago White Sox double-header. The event came to be known as the breaking point for the wave of anti-disco sentiment among rock fans, especially those of the punk variety (see Dead Kennedys’ “Saturday Night Holocaust”). Allow me to go on a tangent for a moment: In the last ten years or so, I, as a rock ‘n’ roll music fan, feel the way disco fans felt when the scene began in the late sixties. That is, I am tired of the pop music. What passed for rock ‘n’ roll in the Aughts was a mash-up of many different bands of varying styles attempting to resurrect some other style from the last fifty years. Am I really expected to list Chevelle, Mudvayne

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reﬂections on a storm experience By Dana Andrzejewski It was 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 27, and my boyfriend, Daniel, and I were eating a late lunch while watching the tornado rip through Cullman, Ala. “If I saw that headed my way, I would probably vomit and pass out,” I told him as I watched the debris and sheer power rip through homes and businesses. I didn’t know that what was coming for us was much, much worse. We heard the tornado warnings and the sirens blaring when James Spann, the best weatherman I have ever

known, told us that we needed to head to our safe place. The warning said that the tornado would be at Bryant-Denny Stadium at 4:45 p.m. My safe place is the Office of Student Media, in front of the stadium, in the basement where I run my advertising staff for The Crimson White. We did the best thing we could’ve done, which was pack up our dog and head to the OSM. When we arrived, there were people all downstairs, hunkered down for the storm that was headed our way. So, here I was, an hour past the Cullman tornado, in the same situation that many of those people were. My mother called and warned me: “a big one is headed your way.” I watched the skycam and scanned the landscape look-

ing for Bryant-Denny Stadium, located right behind the place that at least fifteen people, including myself, were praying to make it through. A few minutes after the skycam went out, the lights flickered and died. Four of us plus a small wiener dog were squished under my desk in the eerie silence, waiting for the sound of a train that would never come. It was scary quiet, and the only thought that went through my mind was that I had to stay alive to answer the phone when my mother called to tell me it was over. Suddenly, we got the all clear and made our way outside, as if coming out from under a rock. I looked to my right and left and saw the statues, the stadium and Reese Phifer and wondered where in the world it

went. Then we got the call; 15th Street was destroyed, gone, leveled. I thought of my apartment and the close friends and neighbors that had sought out the Downs as their safe place. “We have to get home, they need us,” I said to Daniel, and we left the OSM. The first sight coming over the hill by Taco Bell on 15th took the wind out of me. I could see all the way to Target, beyond that. It was unbelievable – total devastation. We pulled into the Downs, and I immediately found two friends and co-workers and embraced them in the middle of the road. The relief was so great, the hurt so strong, the disbelief so overwhelming. The three of us broke down for the world to see and didn’t think twice. We were together

and safe. A lot of people may have written off the student body, told us to go home and get safe, but what they fail to see is that we are home. After all our highjinks through the years, we are standing beside the city that puts up with us. This is our home, these are our neighbors, this is our city, and this is the time that we show the traditions and values we preach every day. Our tradition is built on tenacity, legends, heroes, victories, excellence, drive, pride, endurance, desire, intensity, courage, fight, spirit, focus, grit, heart, class and comebacks.

UA assures students campus is operational By Patty Vaughan Special to the Crimson White

CW| Margo Smith One Forest Lake resident shows TuscaloosaĘźs solidarity after the tornado. at Alabama.â&#x20AC;? Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox said students returning in the fall will probably not notice any dramatic changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely be the beginning of next year before you see major construction take place,â&#x20AC;? Maddox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the biggest difference is that the majority of the debris will likely be gone.â&#x20AC;? After Hurricane Katrina flooded more than 80 percent of Tulaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus in 2005, Mike Strecker, director of public relations at Tulane, said about 88 percent of the students returned to campus in the spring after closing for the fall semester. As far as the future, Kennedy said his parents have talked about basic aspects of what to do during a tornado. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just talked about basic tornado safety guidelines, and to make sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always aware of the weather and of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and where I need to be in the event that this happens,â&#x20AC;? Kennedy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the basic stuff that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taught: stay away from windows and get to the first floor. There was nothing really beyond that that we talked about.â&#x20AC;? As for returning students, the University is providing information for them as well.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have also communicated to all students that normal operations have resumed,â&#x20AC;? Andreen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;UA staff and administrators are working with rental property owners to identify quality housing options for our students who need that information. We will continue to communicate that information over the coming weeks.â&#x20AC;? As for Bailey, he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to coming to the University and sharing The Capstone experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tornado, luckily, has not directly affected my life, and I am terribly sorry for all who have been badly affected by the tornado,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that this does not drastically affect my experience next year, and I am sure it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Upon returning to campus in the fall, Maddox said the number one thing students can do to help with relief efforts is to volunteer whenever they can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sweat equity is very valuable,â&#x20AC;? Maddox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the second thing [students] carry with them is the same spirit that they left, if they went home for the summer, that spirit of working out in Tuscaloosa, understanding that this is their city too. If we do that, I think we can do great things. I really, truly believe that.â&#x20AC;?

As relief efforts continue in Tuscaloosa, freshmen who plan to attend The University of Alabama in the fall said the recent disaster has not discouraged them from joining the Crimson Tide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recent tornado in Tuscaloosa has not affected my decision to attend Alabama, because when I visited Bama, the community was so welcoming and friendly, and now after the tragedy, I feel that everyone there will be even more friendly and more willing to lend a helping hand,â&#x20AC;? incoming freshman Hunter Bailey said. The University said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a conscious effort to contact incoming students and their parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The University is reaching out to accepted students and their parents to let them know that the campus is fully functional, and that interim term, summer terms, orientation and the fall semester will begin as scheduled,â&#x20AC;? Cathy Andreen, director of media relations, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are communicating that all academic and support services are fully operational, and our residence halls, academic buildings and support services are open and fully functional.â&#x20AC;? Another incoming freshman, Jay Kennedy, said his biggest concern was making sure all of his family in Tuscaloosa was safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a couple family members in the area, and the biggest concern was for them and my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety,â&#x20AC;? Kennedy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of my life, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going to The University of Alabama, and it was less of a question of whether or not I was going to be there.

University awarded for civic engagement By Melissa Brown Contributing Writer The University of Alabama has been named to the 2010 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction, a federal honor awarded to universities that have shown a commitment to volunteering and civic engagement. This is the Capstone’s fifth year to be named to the Honor Roll and the second to be to the Honor Roll with Distinction, according to Heather Christensen, research project coordinator at the UA Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility.

The awards process begins with an application process in which universities are asked to estimate the community service participation of students. “The application asks universities to estimate the number of students they have involved in community service, the number of students involved in servicelearning projects, the number of students serving more than 20 hours, and the total number of service hours completed by students during an academic year,” Christensen said. In addition to service hours, Christensen and the CESR highlighted three specific UA service projects in the application.

“We chose to highlight the Beat Auburn Beat Hunger Food Fight, which resulted in an estimated 17,400 meals; the Tuscaloosa’s One Place Afterschool Mentoring Program; and Impact Alabama, in which students prepared 2,900 tax returns, tutored 85 Pre-AP students and conducted vision screenings for 1,730 children,” Christensen said. Wahnee Sherman, director of Community Service Center, said she believes these established service projects and the University’s service-learning courses create an atmosphere to facilitate students who want to get involved. “Our institution has a commitment to service,” Sherman said. “Students are given opportunities to serve in their classes, in their organizations, and as individuals. All a student has to have is a desire to want to get

involved with the community, and we work to help find opportunities for them to give back in meaningful ways.” In addition to projects and opportunities offered by campus organizations and faculty, UA students show individual initiative when it comes to community service. One such student, junior Colby Leopard, started a literacy program called READ Alabama at Tuscaloosa-area middle schools. Recently awarded the Center for Community-Based Partnership’s Excellence in Community Engagement Award, the program pairs university students with underperforming middle school students in a mentoring/reading program. According to Leopard, READ became a part of the Civic Engagement branch of the

pursuing her Ph.D. in library and information sciences at the University of West Ontario. She began her career in Wellington, New Zealand and later taught at various institutions throughout Canada. Despite her international experience, this will be Julien’s first extended experience in Alabama. “I am intrigued by the history and geography of the South and am looking forward to

with strong research productivity,” Miller said. Julien said her research is largely nationally funded and focuses on two areas: information behavior and information literacy. “[My research] has focused on information behavior - how people think about, access and use information - and information literacy, the skill set needed to access and use information efficiently, effectively and ethically,” Julien said. According to Julien, her international experience and contacts are strengths she will bring to the position, but she also expects to learn from her new colleagues and students. “I look forward to having my expectations, assumptions and perspectives challenged and my horizons expanded,” she said. “I have a deep curiosity about all the world’s diverse cultures and perspectives and see this move as an exciting adventure.”

Julien said she was drawn to the SLIS in part because of its diversity and innovative programs, but Southern charm played a part as well. “I am attracted [to the SLIS] by the school’s commitment to high quality teaching and to innovative programs, as well as its commitment to diversity and to community service,” she said. “I am attracted by the South’s reputation for hospitality and friendliness, which I have certainly experienced in my two trips to Tuscaloosa so far.” According to Steve Miller, chair of the director search committee, the committee was impressed during interviews with Julien’s vision of building a strong scholastic community at Alabama as well as her success in academia. “Dr. Julien is at the top of her form as a vital faculty member

It is our job as members of the community to face this head on and do something about it.” According to Sherman, the University’s atmosphere of community engagement and volunteering not only benefits the Tuscaloosa area, but also students themselves. “[Students] also gain a greater understanding of others and about themselves,” Sherman said. “We hope that by engaging in meaningful service while they are part of their higher education institutions, they will make service a habit as they graduate and become productive members of society.”

Boy Scouts give help to tornado victims By Jasmine Cannon Senior Staff Reporter jmcannon@crimson.ua.edu Following the destruction of the tornado on April 27, a number of local organizations and groups provided a helping hand for the city of Tuscaloosa. Some were adults, but there were also young people involved. The Black Warrior Council Boy Scouts of America had tools in tow as they began their work to rebuild the city the day after the storm. “The day after [the tornado], we had Boy Scout volunteers,” said Chris Mehaffey, senior finance director. “Several of

our volunteers got together on their own and started going out and cutting trees on the 28th. We had Boy Scouts here in Tuscaloosa County, Walker County and Winston County that manned donation sites.” At these donation locations, the Scouts collected donations, helped sort items, distributed items and prepared meals. “The Boy Scouts are prepared and helpful, so they – youth and adults – were out there trying to do what they could to help those that had been affected,” Mehaffey said. While the Black Warrior Council has been working at home, there have also

relationship with them. The market offers activities for children such as coloring, as well as live music while you shop. Farmers and merchants are more than willing to answer questions about their products, such as where they come from and how they are grown or made. The market boasts visitors of all ages, from University of Alabama students to newlyweds to senior citizens. “It’s good to see local produce and local people coming out and supporting each other,” said Lauryn Alyworth, a student at The University of Alabama. Missy Burgess, the owner of Cheeky Maiden Soap Co., is one of the vendors who sells at the market. She makes her product completely from scratch, using the old-fashioned cold process. She offers 100 percent natural bath and body products. One of the values of her company is introducing the surrounding communities to healthy, natural products. She said she believes the farmers’ market helps stimulate the local economy and also cuts down on packaging and shipping, which in turn helps the environment. Gary Smith, a local farmer,

been troops from outside of Tuscaloosa that have lent helping hands. Mehaffey said there were two representatives from the national headquarters that made a visit to see what assistance they could provide. Neighboring scouts also came for the Storm Relief Day Camp that the BWC hosted. “Several of our neighboring boy scout councils – Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, Atlanta and as far away as Dallas, Tx. and Bethesda, Md. – they all sent support to help us put that day camp together,” Mehaffey said. “Nationally, the scouting family has come together to help here

was contacted by the state to get involved with the market when it was first started. Under his tent, you can find fresh vegetables such as collard greens, peas and tomatoes. “It brings fresh vegetables and fresh fruits to everybody, some a lot better than what you get in the stores,” said Smith. Andrea Mabry, a graduate of the University of Alabama, founded the market in 2007. At the first market, vendors were sold out of products within the first hour. The number of vendors has nearly doubled since

it started, with the market expecting more than 20 venders at the peak of the season. “[Customers] meet their farmer, talk to them, and gain the tangible appreciation for the people that are growing their food,” Mabry said. “It also helps people question where their food comes from, who is growing it, and what kind of practices they are using.” The market also allows the use of Alabama EBT, and will award $5 for every $10 in EBT that a customer uses.

at the BWC to make sure scouting continues.” The camp was a free oneday event held at Snow Hinton Park. Youth participated in activities such as flag football, pinewood derby and also received free movie tickets. “I think it’s always nice that, although you’re in the environment where it happened, you can remove yourself and have some relaxation, because if you concentrate on that too much it can consume you,” said Herb Ragsdale, director of the Scott Reach program. “What we wanted to do was take a day where we could catch our breaths and get away from the

day-to-day catastrophe-looking areas.” The BWC will continue recruiting at the beginning of next school year while still assisting with the clean-up and rebuilding of Tuscaloosa. “I’m happy [with the work we’ve done],” Ragsdale said. “I wish we could do more, but the efforts we have put forward will really help out, and I think that’s what the organization is all about in terms of community service, so I’m very pleased across the board to be a part of anything that’s trying to rebuild our city.” “We’re going to continue our mission – which is to instill

character in young people so they’ll lead a moral and ethical life,” Mehaffey said. “We’re going to continue to reach out to kids that were affected by the storms, whether they were directly impacted or if they have to ride through a part of town that the tornado went through.” “It’s our desire to help and to continue to reach out to those kids and make sure they’re still kids and don’t grow up too quickly because of this storm.” For more information on the Black Warrior Council Boy Scouts, visit their website at www.bwc-bsa.org or call their office at 205-554-1680.

Art exhibition recognizes UA professor By Stephanie Brumfield Lifestyles Editor snbrumfield@crimson.ua.edu Sometimes, a bare wall is all that is needed for inspiration. For assistant professor of art Sky Shineman, it was a bare wall that sparked her interest in light, an interest she has since incorporated into a painting that earned her the first-place prize at a national art show. “I used to watch a wall in my apartment change shape and color all because of light,” Shineman said. “I became really interested in light phenomena and the passage of time.

[Look at anything and you’ll realize that] it’s only going to look that way right now. A cloud could pass by, and it would be completely changed.” Her painting “Early/Dusk,” which won “Best of Show” at the Westmoreland Art Nationals Juried Exhibition in Youngwood, Pennsylvania at the beginning of June, explores these relationships. “Early/Dusk” is actually composed of two 12 in. by 12 in. panels, and though each square is similar in color, each represents a different time of day. The first represents the bright, harsh light of early

Time of day affects the quality of light that we see. As in Shineman’s paintings, time also plays an important role in the Westmoreland Art Exhibition, which is judged by a different person each year. This year’s juror was Kulvinder Kaur Dhew, who grew up in England and received her master’s in painting from The Royal College of Art in London. “Upon selecting pieces for

the show, I was very aware of the sheer human effort that goes into making art... The variation of themes on display in these works appears to indicate that our need to express something of our experiences is alive and kicking,” Dhew said of the selection process. One way the Westmoreland show recognizes artists’ efforts is by awarding monetary prizes to its winners. By winning “Best of Show,” Shineman won $700 that she says will go “right back into

supplies.” “It’s unbelievably generous,” said Shineman, who also was awarded $750 for placing first in the West Alabama Juried Show in November. “It’s not often that big monetary awards are given [at art shows], but it’s nice to have recognition. Material, travel, postage…it all adds up, and I’m really glad there are situations like this to support artists.” As part of the exhibition, Shineman’s painting has been

on display at the Westmoreland County Community College since June 4 and will be taken down today. It will be on display again at the Westmoreland Arts & Heritage Festival, where it will be eligible for another round of awards after it is judged by a second juror. The festival will be held at Twin Lakes Park in Greensburg, Pa., July 1 through 4 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, visit artsandheritage.com.

The Tennessee sun blazed through the foggy haze that the kicked-up dust and cigarette smoke had created, blurring the tens of thousands of people roaming the farm. Patrons crowded every inch of the coveted shade, more of them halfnaked than fully clothed. Every few minutes, spontaneous eruptions of cheers would join the live music coming from the stages of Centeroo. Strangers chatted through the bandanas shielding their lungs from the inescapable dust as they waited for shows to begin and joyfully danced and sang together once the music began. Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival celebrated “ten years of magic” this year. The event was held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn. from June 9 to June 12. The festival showcased over 175 performers, ranging from Grammy-winning Arcade Fire to big name rapper Lil’ Wayne to indie favorite Beirut. Beyond the shows and activities offered, a key component of the Bonnaroo experience was the accommodations. While there were RV campsites available, the majority of patrons spent

the four days in a campsite the size of a dorm room, sleeping in a tent without free access to a shower. Among the 80,000 Bonnaroo attendees were several Alabama students who viewed the camping experience a little differently. Mandy Watts, a senior majoring in math education, wasn’t a fan. “Roughing it sucked a lot,” she said with a laugh. “I showered using the melted cooler ice and the mushroom water fountain.” Madeleine Cheatham, a junior majoring in public relations, however, enjoyed the change of pace. “It’s nice to have a break from reality,” she said. Entering the gates of Bonnaroo is entering into a different world. It is a place where it is socially acceptable to walk around in only a swimsuit (with no body of water in sight), drink a beer at 9 a.m., and go without bathing after sweating profusely for 72 hours straight. With food offerings such as veggie corndogs and eggplant meatball subs, it is a vegetarian’s paradise. It is a place where trash is labeled “landfill” and is nestled between a recycling and compost bin. It is a place where, even in constant crowds, persistent 95 degree heat, and rampant

use of various legal and illegal substances, violence is rare. It is a place where love for music is all it takes to bring people of all walks of life together. “All the people there are really unique, and it is fun to go out of your comfort zone and meet all the different people there. It is neat to know that you are all sharing the same passion: music,” said Reed Ellis, a senior majoring in public relations. “There’s something about thousands of people singing along to that song that gives you chills,” said Seth Nelson, recent marketing graduate. Students agree that it is the people who attend Bonnaroo that made it unforgettable. “The type of people you see at Bonnaroo are the people that don’t have a care in the world, and as a result, they are really enjoying life,” Nelson said. “It feels like everyone is on the same page and enjoying CW | Caroline Murray themselves. It feels like no one The music festival, Bonnaroo, celebrates its ten-year anniversary this June. can really bring you down,” Ellis said. “At Bonnaroo I feel like I truly learned that you can not judge people by what they look like, because everyone has their own stories.

REVIEW | ‘ENGLAND KEEP MY BONES’

A modern musician’s quest for a new kind of redemption By Jonathan Reed Thanks to British musician Frank Turner, nobody can ever say cynical atheists don’t have hymns. Turner, a former member of British punk band Million Dead, who now produces music ranging from raucous, pounding rock to a cappella anthems, uses his soulful sound to spin truly modern tales in his latest album, “England Keep My Bones.” The album begins with “Eulogy,” a song that reflects the changes Turner and many other punk rockers have undergone in the past decade. It begins with melodic strings and builds into a pounding rock song. What sets it apart, though, is the spirit of it. Turner uses more subtle and complex music but still captures the spirit of punk. “I haven’t always been a perfect person,” he sings. “I haven’t done what mom and dad had dreamed. On the day I die, I’ll say ‘at least I f---ing tried.’ That’s the only eulogy I need.” Throughout the rest of “England Keep My Bones,” Turner continues to skewer the things society has come to love – from religion to work that isn’t rock and roll – on his personal quest to find a kind of redemption for today’s world. Before Turner can find redemption, he explores the fear and paranoia of today’s society. In “I Am Disappeared,” he talks about a girl named Amy, who has nightmares about the life she lives: “Dreams of pirate ships and Patty Hearst, breaking through a life over-rehearsed. She can’t remember which came first, the house, the home, or the terrible thirst.” As the song builds from a low-key acoustic piece into

a rising rock ballad, Turner turns to himself, describing his own dreams of being crushed, of being trapped in an elevator falling out of control. Then, in Artist: Frank Turner the refrain, Turner explains how he copes: “And on the Recording Label: worst days, when it feels like Epitaph life weighs 10,000 tons, I sleep with my passport, one eye on Release date: June 7 the back door, so I can always run. I can get up, shower and in Number of Tracks: 12 half an hour I’ll be gone.” In “I Still Believe,” Turner CW critic’s rating: reveals a bit of hope. He turns to what may be a tired cliché, but may also be just the truth: the redemptive power of rock and roll. He sings of “the saints” – Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash Bottom line: Frank and “all the greats” – and of Turner weaves a tale of the fact that everyone can find redemption while devela song for everything they oping a highly varied feel. “Who’d have thought,” he and listenable musical sings, “that after all, something as simple as rock and roll could style. save us all.” As the album closes, Turner heard the title and the music, brings out a choir and puts you would swear was an old together a song that, if you just gospel standard. But the chorus of “Glory Hallelujah” shows just how wrong you would be: “There is no God, so clap your hands together. There is no God, no heaven and no hell. There is no God, we’re all in this together. There is no God, so ring that victory bell.” The song is an anthem of Turner’s belief in the ultimate triumph of the human spirit – with no help from above. He asks us to imagine a world without blood shed over distant lands that we deem important because our fathers told us of them. He paints a picture of a people not relying on priests and “fairies up above,” and a world the meek have already inherited. For all of Turner’s pessimism, he realizes the importance of life and keeping up the fight in the end. There is no fear of death, no pessimism, just a righteous belief in the power of man. “So just accept that there’s an end game and we haven’t got much time,” he sings, “and in the here and now we can try and do things right.”

Student experiences the pros of Cannes at ﬁlm festival Left: The view of the Cannes, France beach behind the American Pavilion. Below: The cast of “Once Upon a Time in Anatolia,” a Turkish film, leave the red carpet premiere at the Grant Lumiere Theatre. Submitted by Sarah Massey

By Sarah Massey

As I sat on the tarmac waiting for my plane to take off on May 7, I was wary of the weeks ahead of me. Two weeks prior, I was eager to leave for Cannes, France to be an intern with The American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival, but the devastation that had struck in the week between had left me torn – with only a desire to stay and help my college town. Leaving my town that had – in many areas – been reduced to rubble and traveling to intern in a town full of red carpets and extravagance seemed trivial, and in my mind, wrong. I didn’t know what to think or how to feel about the situation; I considered finding a way out of the trip days before I left. With all options exhausted and knowing that in the end I’d regret not taking advantage of this opportunity, I embarked on my eight-hour flight across the Atlantic, unaware of what I was about to experience. Now, almost two weeks removed from my travels in France, processing my time spent as an intern and the drastic change of environments is a daily task. I still don’t know fully what to think about the experience; the two weeks went by faster than I imagined. Looking back, though, I can’t even begin to put into words how thankful I am that I wasn’t able to talk myself out of the trip. Cannes, a naturally gorgeous city in the south of France, literally transforms overnight in preparation to hosting the Cannes Film Festival. Red carpets are rolled out, temporary pavilions are set up along the beach, and celebrities, models and film industry professionals pour into the city. With my arrival to Cannes three days prior to the start of the festival, I was able to witness the dramatic transformation and all the necessary work that goes into making the film industry and its celebrities appear

so glamorous. Only through creativity and an enormous amount of staging is glamour actually achieved. My internship with the American Pavilion was anything but glamorous; however, the people that I worked with and the work I did singlehandedly made the experience rewarding. As an intern with the American Pavilion – a business and entertainment venue complete with a restaurant and Internet cafe for professionals in the industry – I was on the “Pip Squad” (our boss’s name was Pip, hence the title). We were in charge of getting tickets for both market and red carpet film screenings. Every morning I retrieved the tickets for films in official competition, which Pip would exchange throughout the day. We had a complex system to ensure that every intern at least had the opportunity to walk the red carpet for a film premiere – an experience that couldn’t be passed up. Another critical part of my experience in Cannes was actually seeing the films. While I didn’t get to see as many I would have liked, the setting of a film festival forced me to view them with a more critical eye and value them as a form of art, rather than merely entertainment. After seeing movies like “We Need to Talk about Kevin,” “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” “Tree of Life” and a documentary on the New York Times, “Page One,” I can easily say that we have a strong line of films to

be released in the next few months. My time in Cannes was short-lived, but every moment was packed full of things that I will remember for the rest of my life. The people that I met, the talented friends I made (all of whose work we will undoubtedly be seeing in the future), and the film education I received during those two weeks I wouldn’t trade for anything. Life is back to normal now – no more red carpets or starstudded parties – but I find

myself continually reflecting on the two drastically different events that occurred this past month, attempting to come to terms with them. I’m still trying to figure out what I learned from each and hope in months to come my ideas and thoughts will be more concrete. But if anything, I realize that I entered Cannes with a different perspective than the rest; a more realistic perspective, which allowed me to view the festival as it is, without getting caught up in the glamour and extravagance.

JUNE 22-26 • Women’s Track - USATF Junior & Senior Championships: All Day Eugene, Ore.

By O.P. Galt IV Contributing Writer

The Alabama Crimson Tide football team has begun to produce yet another top recruiting class going into 2012. Alabama has received verbal commitments from 13 recruits, six of whom are ranked in the ESPNU 150, currently putting Alabama in third place in the ESPNU rankings for recruiting classes. So far, the Tide has picked up great additions on defense, gaining a verbal commitment from Eddie Williams of Arnold H.S. in Panama City, Fla., who is the top-ranked safety in the nation and number five player overall according to the ESPNU 150. At 6’3’’ and 205 pounds, Williams is an athletic, bruising, ball-hawking safety who has played many positions on the field, including wide receiver and quarterback, though his most likely college position would be safety. Regarded as an elite prospect, Williams has the ability and pure athleticism to see the field early in his career with the Tide. Another great addition to the Crimson Tide defense is outside linebacker prospect Dillon Lee from high school football powerhouse Buford H.S. in Buford, Ga. Lee is ranked as the number five recruit for his position and the 72nd overall prospect according to the ESPNU 150. Standing at 6’4’’ and weighing 220 pounds, Lee sports a large frame with wide shoulders and could easily put on more muscle during his time with the Tide. The Tide has also received a verbal commitment from Reggie Ragland of Bob Jones H.S. in Madison, Ala. Ragland, the number two ranked inside linebacker in the nation and 112th overall prospect according to the ESPNU 150, is a stout and punishing defender at 6’3’’ and 245 pounds who could add some muscle and possibly be somewhat of a hybrid, explosive DE/LB. On offense, the Crimson Tide has received a verbal commit-

Greene is a big-bodied, dominating offensive tackle who excels in run-blocking. He is the fifth-ranked offensive tackle in the nation and 25th overall prospect according to the ESPNU150. Greene is athletic enough to pull and trap, even from the center position. Standing at 6’5’’ and weighing 285 pounds, Greene sports a big frame that could be a force for the Crimson Tide. The Crimson Tide has also received verbal commitments from four-star outside linebacker Tyler Hayes of Thomasville H.S. in Thomasville, Ala.; four-star

defensive tackle Dakota Ball of Pepperell H.S. in Lindale, Ga.; four-star athlete Justin Thomas of Prattville H.S. in Prattville, Ala.; four-star defensive end Ryan Anderson of Daphne H.S. in Daphne, Ala.; four-star running back Kenyan Drake of Hillgrove H.S. in Powder Springs, Ga.; three-star wide receiver Casey Gladney of Columbia H.S. in Columbia, S.C.; three-star running back Justin Taylor of Booker T.

Ain’t no thing but a summer ﬂing By Tony Tsoukalas Sports Editor ajtsoukalas@crimson.ua.edu @Tony_Tsoukalas Well, that was awkward. And the next head softball coach for the University of Alabama will be… Patrick Murphy? The same Patrick Murphy who just left the Crimson Tide for its muchhated rival LSU? Am I the only one here who feels dumped? Murph, you need to sell the rights to this one to Hallmark. You’d make a killing. I see it now: Guy has girl. Guy and girl go through turmoil on way to an excellent relationship. Things are getting good, however, girl leaves guy for new stranger for no apparent reason. Finally, the girl realizes that her infatuation for the stranger is only based on selfish lust, and she returns to her old relationship. Seriously though, what is this, a high school romance? What now? How does the University know that Murphy won’t bolt again? I understand the argument that Murphy came to a realization that Alabama is the school for him, but it is not easy to forget that he was about to pull a Benedict Arnold. Apparently Les Miles is not the only one who thinks the grass is greener at LSU. I don’t want to come down too hard on Murphy. I have a lot of respect for the man, and what he has done for this university is nothing short of remarkable. That is what makes this near departure hurt a little more. Coach Murphy, Alabama needs you. The fans, the ones that you call the best in America, they need you. The players you recruited, the

girls who gave their blood and sweat for you, they need you. The community that rallied behind this team during a natural disaster, they need you. I hope it is true; I hope coach Murphy really came to the realization that he has something special here at The University of Alabama. I hope that he takes a strong team of returning players back to Oklahoma City next year. I hope he not only wins a championship, but multiple ones. Coach Murphy, you made the right decision. What you have accomplished at The University of Alabama is nothing short of amazing, but you still have much more to accomplish here. Sure, you might have put fans through a confusing, rollercoaster weekend. You might have riled a few people and sports editors up, but I assure you, I speak for everyone connected to Alabama softball when I say we welcome you back 100 percent. It is time to put this entire thing behind us and focus on recovering from back-toback heartbreaking losses in the Women’s College World Series. It’s time for you to get back to what you do best, building a constant champion. You are something that this University, this community counts on, so it’s time to decide. Do you like us?... Check yes or no.

Alabama is where my heart is and I cannot in good conscience try to do a job in which I am not totally committed beyond any doubt. I can honestly say that the last few days have only made it clear that Alabama is where I want to be – beyond any doubt. It would have been totally unfair to everyone at LSU – especially the players – for me to be conflicted at all about where I was.” Murphy also said LSU was great in handling the situation and they had nothing to do with him leaving. “I appreciate everything LSU did,” Murphy said. “They

Kiriani James repeats as NCAA champion University of Alabama track star Kirani James has captured his second NCAA championship at 400 meters in as many years for the Tide, beating out Texas Tech runner Gil Roberts by .03 seconds to repeat as champion. Since coming to the Tide from Grenada, James has had continued success. Friday’s NCAA championships were no different as James won the 400-meter dash with a time of 45.092. “It was a very close finish, and there were a lot of question marks and tense moments as we waited for the results,” James said. “When they flashed the final results on the board, I was ecstatic and happy that I could pull off such a feat. It’s always great to accomplish something like this. I ran and competed with a great group of guys, and I’m so happy to repeat as the NCAA Champion.”

did everything in a first class manner. This change of heart is not in any way a reflection on anyone at LSU. It is solely something that I am responsible for. I can only convey to everyone my deepest apologies for putting all of those who care about both of these programs through a difficult time. In my heart, I know that this is the right thing for me to do.” Athletic director Mal Moore said, “I am glad to see that he has had a change of heart, because I have always known that he is one of the finest coaches in America.” Murphy led Alabama to a 53-11 record this past season that included a third place finish at the Women’s College World Series and a second consecutive Southeastern Conference regular season title.

We all survived, and I don’t remember anyone coming out with any type of head injury. They weren’t plastic though.” The first plastic helmets were introduced in 1939. The plastic shell was stronger, lighter, longer lasting, and did not rot the way leather does when wet. You could also add color to the plastic lids to differentiate teams. They were a step up from the old leather tops but lacked one valuable necessity: facemasks, which were not implemented until 1955. As the game’s popularity began to grow in the 1970s and 1980s, different changes were made to the chinstrap to further ensure player safety.

2009 days, it’s hard to recognize a helmet from five or six years ago, let alone thirty years. “A helmet worn by Joe Namath is completely different from a helmet worn by Brodie Croyle,” Gaddy said. “The helmets the players wear today are even different than what players wore when Brodie was here. Technology has changed so much that now they have helmets that can almost custom fit to a player’s head.” In today’s world, helmets are constantly being tested and changed. Football is taking steps at every level to further protect players from head and neck injuries. Helmets today

are built to take maximum punishment from 300-pound monsters aiming to take their opponents’ heads off. Developers such as the Schutt and Riddell sports companies have taken strides to cut down on all types of head injuries. In fact, a 2006 study released by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center shows that the Riddell Revolution, and others like it, reduces the incidences of concussion by 31 percent. As the game continues to progress and the players continue to get bigger, stronger and faster, look for helmets to be made of the same metals they use to make army tanks.
