Bama enrollment reaches all-time high UA’s addition of nearly 8,000 students in 10 years outpaces all other Southeastern Conference schools By Katherine Martin Assistant News Editor klmartincw@gmail.com Enrollment at the University hit a new high this fall at a record 31,474 students, according to a UA press release. Total enrollment is up 5 percent with an increase of 1,515 students since fall 2010, and includes 26,234 undergrads and 5,513 graduate and first professional students, the release stated. This year’s freshman class is largest in the University’s history with 5,772 students. “Once again this fall we wel-

comed to campus the largest and most academically talented freshman class in our history,” UA President Robert Witt said. “We are pleased that excellent students are recognizing the quality and value of a University of Alabama education.” Last fall, Witt announced a goal of increasing enrollment to 35,000 by 2020 or earlier. Enrollment is up 62 percent from Fall 2002 and has been following an upward trend since 2001, according to the Office of Institutional Research.

UA students start memorial fund for fallen student By Amanda Sams News Editor samsamanda42@gmail.com A fund has been set up in honor of Trey Johnson, a graduate student in the Culverhouse School of Business at the University of Alabama who died on Sept. 11 from gunshot wounds outside of Sterling Crimson apartments. “For the memorial fund, we all (current students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends) want Trey to always be remembered as well as help out his family with these unexpected expenses,” said Heather Davis, Johnson’s academic adviser, boss and friend. “We have three main goals with the fund. First, we will be purchasing a brick in his honor on the Crimson Promenade. Secondly, we want to help his family with expenses.

University of Alabama trustees approved resolutions Thursday to continue construction on the North Bluff Residential Community, as well as construct a digital media center inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The trustees also approved the opening of a second Woods & Water, Inc. location. The business will open on The Strip at 1201 University Blvd., the former location of the Booth. Tuscaloosa trustee Paul Bryant Jr. was also unanimously recommended and elected as president pro tempore of the Board of the Trustees. “Every year, the trustees reelected the position,” said

Kellee Reinhart, vice chancellor for system relations of the University of Alabama system. “A trustee is eligible to serve three successive one-year terms, so Trustee Finis St. John from Cullman, Ala., who completed his third year [Friday], passed the gavel to his successor, Trustee Bryant.” While in the Physical Properties Committee Meeting, trustees voted to approve the second phase of construction on the North Bluff Residential Community and its $62.5 million budget. The community, which is expected to open next fall, is expected to house more than 800 students and feature a semi-private courtyard with a landscaped area and pavilions.

From MCTCampus Egyptian parliamentary elections first planned for September are now slated for Nov. 21, broadcaster Al Arabiya reported Saturday, citing the election commission chief. The voting would occur in three stages, concluding Jan. 3. Elections for the second chamber of Parliament, the Shura Council, would begin on Jan. 22 and conclude on March 4. Egypt’s ruling military council, which has held power since ousting former president Hosni Mubarak in February, has been under increasing pressure to set a date for elections for the promised transition to democracy. No dates were set for presidential elections, which the military council has promised will follow the parliamentary votes. Meanwhile, video footage of snipers firing on protesters in Egypt was shown in court

at the trial of Mubarak on Saturday, the semi-official Al Ahram newspaper reported online. Mubarak is charged with having ordered the killing of protesters in the popular uprising that led to his ousting earlier this year. Around 850 people were killed in the protests. The audio-video material presented by lawyers for the families of the victims, showed snipers positioned on the roof of the Interior Ministry in Cairo using automatic weapons firing on protesters at nearby Tahrir Square, according to the report. Mubarak, who is also facing corruption charges, is being tried alongside former Interior minister Habib al-Adly and six former security aides. All have pleaded not guilty. In the coming days, the court will examine evidence in the Mubarak case before the head of Egypt’s ruling military council, Hussein Tantawi, testifies in camera on Sept. 24.

Dean Garner to receive ADA’s highest award By Jordan Cissell and Matt Mecoli The Crimson White

Margaret Garner, assistant dean of the College of Community Health Sciences and director of Health Promotion and Wellness, will be presented with the American Dietetic As s o c i at i o n ’s Marjorie Hulsizer Copher Award, the institution’s highest honor, this Saturday. The award was endowed in honor of Marjorie Hulsizer Copher, who made lasting contributions to the field of dietetics during and after WWI by her husband, Dr. Glover Copher, after her death. The award is given annually to the dietician who displays outstanding achievement in nutrition and dietetics leadership and education. Garner will be picked up

and Nutrition Conference and Expo. In addition to being an associate professor in the School of Medicine, Garner is at the heart of most health-related programs on campus. She is the assistant dean of Health Education and Outreach and the director of Nutrition Education and Services. Many of her programs, such as the rising tide fashion show, have won awards.

“I’ve been able to do everything I love, because I’ve had the opportunity to teach, mentor and be professionally active.” — Margaret Garner teach, mentor and be professionally active.” Her ties to the University run deeper than her professorship, however. Her husband, Robert H. Garner, was a chemistry professor emeritus who served for 35 years on the UA faculty before his passing in 2004. All five of their sons attended the University, as well. Dr. Michelle Harcrow, assistant director of Health Education and Promotion, said she was not surprised by Garner’s selection as this year’s award recipient, and described her as a “thinker

and a doer who … can dream big and then bring those dreams to fruition.” “She epitomizes servant leadership and sincerely cares about the welfare of others,” Harcrow said in an email. Through the Department of Health Promotion and Wellness, Garner said she seeks to engage students in making lifestyle changes for their well being through initiatives like the Health Hut and Bama Car. She insisted that it is feasible for college students to eat and live healthily, adding that “it is all about choices.” While she was an undergraduate student in home economics at Georgia Southern College, Garner became interested in nutrition after an influential professor sparked her interest in the subject. She said the impact of her former teacher Ms. Todd, prompted

her to earn her Master of Science in Nutrition from the University of Tennessee. Garner places special importance in the role mentors have played in her life, and she continues to tout her belief in the significance of mentoring the next generation of students, especially in the fields of nutrition and dietetics. “I want faculty to not give up on inspiring,” she said, “and I want students to see [nutrition] as an incredibly fulfilling profession.” Garner has big plans for the future of Health Promotion and Wellness at the University of Alabama. During her acceptance speech on Saturday, Garner said she plans on challenging others to adopt the same approach. “Make a difference where you are,” she said. “Carry the flame, but then ignite the flame in someone else.”

{ YOUR VIEW } WEB POLL

CW Poll Do you think the tornado has made the University student body more unified?

It’s not you, Witt, UA cannot defend block seating. systemic segregation It’s me. OUR VIEW

As students of The University of Alabama, we were both saddened and embarrassed last week when President Witt defended segregation in the greek community. “It is appropriate that all our sororities and fraternities – traditionally African-American, traditionally white and multicultural – determine their membership,” Witt said. Effectively, he said that it is acceptable for organizations who build houses on University land, in some cases with University bonds, to continue to disqualify certain students from membership because of their race. Obviously, that is not appropriate. Segregation in the greek system isn’t limited to “traditionally white” or “traditionally black” organizations. Since President Witt arrived on campus, two new all white sororities have been established. They had no “traditional” race affiliation, yet neither have any black members. Witt’s statement was only a partial response to five questions submitted to him by The Crimson White. If he had answered them in full, we may have been able to offer more insight into his thinking on this subject. Unfortunately, when it comes to equality in the greek system, like other challenges on campus, the administration seems to prefer ignoring the issue to having a full and constructive conversation about it. The Crimson White last asked Witt about diversity in the greek community in February, after a racial epithet was shouted at a black UA student from a fraternity house. When asked whether the segregated nature of the greek system contributed to that incident, he simply replied, “No.” When asked to elaborate, he

YES

By SoRelle Wyckoff

Is our culture so engrained with prejudice that, after eight years on campus, President Witt has become less supportive of greek integration? Or has his willingness to lead just diminished? said, “I’m strongly tempted to say what part of ‘no’ is unclear, but I don’t think there was any relationship between the incident and our greek system.” Witt classifies fraternities and sororities as “independent social organizations.” But when greek organizations want to throw parties, they are required to register them with the University. If they violate rules pertaining to alcohol or hazing, they can be put on social probation or kicked off campus. Only when they repeatedly discriminate against potential new members because of race does the University classify them as independent groups that govern themselves autonomously. President Witt came to our campus with a great vision, and he has had phenomenal success in recruiting more, smarter students who have boosted our rankings and won prestigious awards. We are a better university as a result. But when it comes to the cultural and leadership issues that define the character of our campus, President Witt has no vision. He just passes the buck. It is one thing to lead a University through a period of outstanding numerical growth; it is entirely different to challenge a University’s students, faculty, and alumni to abandon the cruel and tired traditions that have divided this campus for far too long. Our president is so averse to addressing these issues that he doesn’t even pay lip service to progress. He could have made a state-

ment highlighting the excellent work leaders in our greek community are doing, through groups like Greeks T.I.D.E. and other forums, to promote diversity and equality. Instead, he chose to disregard those student-driven initiatives and defend the indefensible status quo. Perhaps most troubling, though, is that President Witt’s recent comments on racial divisions in the greek community were much more defensive than his earlier comments. In 2003, he said he was optimistic a multicultural student would be accepted into a white sorority that year. Eventually, Carla Ferguson became a member of Gamma Phi Beta, realizing Witt’s vision. But no black girl that went through rush this year was successful. Why does the administration care less now than it did then? Is our culture so engrained with prejudice that, after eight years on campus, President Witt has become less supportive of greek integration? Or has his willingness to lead just diminished? Going forward, it is our sincere hope that President Witt and the UA administration will at the very least speak candidly about the racial issues that seem to produce national headlines for our campus every few years. Students, staff and alumni should demand real answers form the leaders of this University. Our View represents the consensus of The Crimson White editorial board.

This Week’s Question: Do you think the greek community should be more racially inclusive?

1. Dr. Witt said in 2003 that he thought the small pool of black women, coupled with media pressure on them, was impeding the integration of sororities. Those comments were made almost 10 years ago--the university has grown to 31,000+ students since then, significantly increasing the pool of candidates. Media coverage on the issue, as well, has significantly dropped off since Melody Twilley was on campus in 20002001-2002. In Dr. Witt’s view, what is impeding the acceptance of minority students, specifically black students, into traditionally white sororities today? 2. Is it necessarily important for the image AND culture of the University for black students to be accepted into traditionally white sororities? Please address both separately

3. Dr. Witt said in 2003 that he was confident “sororities would make a good-faith effort at diversity.” Does he feel they have done so? 4. Does Dr. Witt support active administrative involvement in the integration of sororities? Why or why not? 5. Does Dr. Witt agree or disagree with the sentiment, expressed in past faculty senate meetings, that segregated sororities should not be allowed to reside on campus? Why agree or why disagree?

The University offers a wide range of options for students to become involved on campus, including nearly 400 organizations that appeal to a wide range of students’ interests and needs. I encourage all students to take advantage of the many academic, social and volunteer opportunities available at the University during their time on campus. Approximately 25 percent of our student body participates in the Greek system at UA, which includes traditionally African American, traditionally white and multicultural sororities and fraternities. The organizations that make up our Greek system regularly participate together in campuswide programs and co-sponsor events and initiatives. As independent social organizations, it is appropriate that all our sororities and fraternities – traditionally African American, traditionally white and multicultural – determine their membership.

Lessons found abroad for problems here at home By John Davis

EDITORIAL BOARD

(image: how prospective students and alumni--donors-view the University; culture: the different sentiments and opinions of students on campus as affected by the University’s history, which includes a legacy of segregation.)

Witt provided the following general response to all questions on Sept 14.

Watching a relationship crumble into relationship rubble has few positives, but one of them is some form of entertainment. The level of entertainment depends on how dramatic the separate individuals are and how well known the couple is. Fortunately for us, we have been entertained quite a bit in the past few weeks by one of the University of Alabama’s oldest and most endearing couples. In addition to their high profile relationship, one of the lovers in the struggling triangle is not only dramatic, but close-minded and unnecessarily stubborn. But whatever, these personality cons only increase our entertainment value. After a long, steady relationship, Bryant-Denny Stadium and “Student Organization Seating” (aka, block seating) seem to be on the rocks; we’ve seen their scandal sprayed across the pages of this paper for weeks. Attempts to salvage this relationship have been offered by the always optimistic SGA and University faculty, but it seems like this relationship has been questionable long before their troubles went public. I am by no means a relationship expert, but after watching the interaction between Bryant-Denny and block seating, I can’t say I’m surprised. Block seating’s behavior choices have been questionable, and quite frankly, she’s getting old. Perhaps it’s time for Bryant-Denny to move on to someone younger, someone who can still show him a good time and make him feel passionate again. First-come, first-served, fair seating is calling Bryant-Denny’s name. Curling a red painted fingernail toward him, tempting him just enough to consider breaking up with his girlfriend of old and moving on to quite possibly something better. So, let’s cross the fence to the promised land of equality. Anyone who’s an Alabama student can sit here, right? I mean, I just want to watch the nation’s greatest football team annihilate a Division II paid opponent. I feel unwelcomed in block seating because my organization doesn’t have a section (only maledominated organizations count, anyways), and God forbid I step on someone’s toes by standing in their section. I’m told that the bleachers on the other side of the fence are shinier anyway. The land of idealistic equality always wins. Steely eyes and a “sorry, these seats are taken,” push over my first attempt. Fair enough, seat saved, no harm, no foul. But when it keeps happening again and again, I’m starting to realize my “Greek letter, Greek letter, Greek letter hearts the tide” pin is giving off radioactive waves. “Why don’t you just go sit in the greek section, that’s what it’s there for right?” And there it is. So general student seating is not as charming as she advertised. She seemed so genuine, and watching her and Bryant-Denny, I thought I saw a connection. If she just gave Bryant-Denny a chance, I know they’d hit it off. Maybe all I need to do is sit down with general student seating and give her a few tips on getting back in the game. A little reminder of her potential will give her the confidence and charm needed to win over the heart of Bryant-Denny. She has been single for around forty years after all; the dating game has different rules now. Be open minded, general student seating. I know my experiences with you are not representative of your entire personality, but it’s time to trim the negative fat and be genuinely open to the idea of sitting with groups and organizations that currently dominate the block seating side of the fence. Changes in the rules or the “Student Organization Seating Handbook” won’t do anything if there isn’t a change in attitude first. If change is what you’re asking for, then you need to be ready and open minded for change to occur. We are Alabama students first, members of our separate organizations second. If we can’t grasp that idea, we aren’t going to get anywhere. Student Organization Seating, don’t take it personally. It’s not you, it’s Bryant-Denny; it’s also 2011, and time for some change. They always say breaking up is hard to do.

This past summer I spent some time in Germany with a good friend. We had worked all summer, so we treated ourselves to a last hurrah of sorts before our senior year by staying in hostels in Munich and Stuttgart. This wasn’t my first trip to Europe, but it was the first time I went without family, as well as my first experience with a hostel. Telling people you’re traveling abroad is like saying you just bought a puppy or are looking to buy a car – whether you want it or not, you are going to receive lots of advice, most of which is ridiculous. People spoke of money belts and copies of passports as if the entirety of Europe was out to pickpocket everyone stepping off a plane from America. I had heard this all before – again, international travel wasn’t new to me – but the one that really stood out was a piece of information that we, as

citizens of this nation, all kind of know, if only because other Americans keep beating it into our heads: don’t broadcast your nationality, because the rest of the world hates America. It was a thought I didn’t spend too much time on until one night in particular at the hostel bar. My friend and I were sharing liters of beer with an Italian, two Australians and a German when I had a thought that now seems rather obvious. It’s easy to hate the abstract collective; it’s easy to say, “I hate the French,” or, “America is the devil’s land.” But when it comes down to the micro level, it’s a lot more difficult to share a beer with a genuinely nice person but still dislike them for being from a particular country. The reason I bring all this up is this – a lot has been made in the last couple of days regarding stories printed in The Crimson White about a perceived racial barrier that still exists within the greek system.

The legitimacy (or illegitimacy) of this claim aside, it is poisonous for us as a community to attack each greek individual as a racist. Yes, a young black woman was dropped from recruitment. Yes, this has happened before. But alongside each of those young women were 70-plus other young women who were left just as confused as to what went wrong. There’s a lot of us not associated with the fraternity/sorority system that don’t know about the recruitment process, and to use racism as the first conclusion is both irresponsible and lazy. I am not marginalizing the fact that our greek system is segregated and that everybody seems to be okay with that. It absolutely needs to change. There are ways, though, to go about desegregation that don’t involve calling everyone on New Row a racist while shoving minorities down their collective throat. For instance, push rush week

back into the semester, like it was before Dr. Witt took over as president. Give people an opportunity to meet others around campus before they get thrown into the weeklong small-talk session; that way women who didn’t know anyone on campus initially aren’t at an inherent disadvantage. Along with that, encourage more African-Americans to go through rush. If there turns out to be institutionalized racism in the greek system, it will be a hell of a lot easier to prove if one or two hundred black men or women get dropped within a few days instead of just one. And if it turns out that there isn’t institutionalized racism, then we’ll have the beginning of a truly desegregated greek system. Most importantly, though, we need to openly communicate with everyone around us. Many people like to claim The Crimson White has an antigreek agenda, but it’s difficult to portray the greek individu-

al’s perspective when after negative stories about the greek system, greek students are emailed and encouraged not to speak with Crimson White reporters. However, as an individual, you don’t have to rely on an advisor or some other person in a position of power to speak on your behalf. If you feel the greek system was unfairly portrayed, write a letter to the editor or a guest column to explain why. Your voice will be heard. Like many people, I read the articles last week and jumped to the natural and most extreme conclusion. But I suspect unlike most of those same people, I had the good fortune to hear several members of sororities explain their perspective.

Federal judge Hughes speaks on Constitution By Kendall Mays Contributing Writer

The University of Alabama commemorated Constitution Day on Friday by hosting a lecture from federal judge Lynn Hughes. The speech, which was sponsored by the department of political science within the College of Arts and Sciences, was held in the Ferguson Center Theater and was well received by students and faculty. Hughes, an Alabama graduate from 1963, has served as federal judge of the Southern District of Texas since 1985. The Houston native’s speech, “Our Unfinished Revolution,” focused on the undying responsibilities of Americans to uphold ideals of liberty and equality as prescribed by the

To keep up with the growing number, UA Spokeswoman Cathy Andreen said the University has planned carefully for growth in both numbers and quality since 2003 by adding faculty, facilities and support functions. In 2003, the University employed 1,115 faculty members and had a total enrollment of 20,290 students, according to Provost Judy Bonner and the Office of Institutional Research. In 2010, faculty members had increased to 1,618 with a fall enrollment of 30,232, keeping the ratio of faculty to students relatively equal.

“He’s more Republican than most Republicans. He’s concerned with what the law states, not his opinion. And because he’s a judge, he doesn’t have a constituency to please with every decision.” — Michael Grierson of the University of Alabama.

And because he’s a judge, he doesn’t have a constituency to please with every decision.” The responsibility of the public to keep the ideals of national integrity and justice was the focal point of both lectures. Hughes, who spoke of the power of the Constitution, cited discipline as the main goal of a proper government and the responsibility of its citizenry. “When we won the Revolution, we disciplined King George,” Hughes said. “But, when we drafted the Constitution, we disciplined ourselves.”

The Board of Trustees has just approved the second phase of the residential community, which will be a seven-story, 864bed facility next to phase one. Andreen said the University also plans to build a student recreational center and dining hall between the two new buildings.

“Our participation in government through voting keeps our interests at heart and prevents a certain kind of tyranny.” Tyranny, in Hughes’ opinion, is the product of too much power in the hands of one person or group with an agenda. Corruption, according to Hughes, is thwarted in the Constitution through an intentionally slow legal process and division of national power. “Power is like manure; if you pile it up, it stinks,” Hughes said, “but if you spread it around, it may do some good and grow something.” Michael Grierson, a senior majoring in journalism, attended the speech and was most impressed by the hardline view Hughes takes on the

According to Board of Trustees books, the North Bluff Residential Community will be partially built on the footprint of the existing Rose Towers, which will be demolished in 2012. The Annual Consolidated Capital Projects and Facilities Report which was presented to the Board of Trustees in June 2011 also called for a new recreational facility, which will contain weight and fitness training, multi-use gymnasium space, group exercise and personal training opportunities, as well as a dining center, to serve students living on the north

side of campus. Trustees also approved the $8.1 million budget of the proposed move of Crimson Tide Productions, WVUA-TV and the Center for Public Television to The Zone at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The budget, which was increased from officials’ initial $6.5 million estimate because of the addition of square feet of construction, passed unanimously.

Culverhouse College of Commerce gains new dean By Ashanka Kumari Contributing Writer

The Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration welcomes a new leader for the first time in over 20 years. After serving for 10 years as a faculty member in statistics, Associate Dean of Research and Senior Associate Dean J. Michael Hardin replaced Barry Mason as the new dean of the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration. “Dr. Hardin gained an intimate working knowledge of both the college and the University in his role as senior associate dean,” Executive Vice President and Provost Judy Bonner said. “This understanding, together with his commitment to both rigor and relevance, will enable him to provide effective leadership immediately.” Hardin said he will use

thoughts?’ The rigor is about whether we are demanding enough out of our students and faculty. Are we carefully thinking about the things we are doing—not because they are done in the past but that they make sense now?” In using those three principles, one of Hardin’s major goals is to increase focus on students getting jobs and contributing to economic society. “If in the next 10 years—the next governor of the state, president of the U.S., the next CEO of Microsoft—if those are C&BA graduates, those are the kinds of people I want us to be educating and training today,” Hardin said. For students, Hardin emphasized preparation for their future careers as one of his highest priorities. “I want to really make sure that we prepare them for their jobs,” Hardin said. “Most students major in business because they want to get jobs

Senate battles Cochran over First Year Council veto By Matt Mecoli and Rich Robinson The Crimson White

The Senate voted to amend the bill so that the President of the SGA would also have the authority to call special sessions of the FYC. Should this amended bill be vetoed, the Senate intends to override the veto. The second matter was Resolution 25-11, which encouraged students to take advantage of Bama Dining options. The resolution was contended on the basis that the Senate shouldn’t be endorsing a private company. Since Bama Dining is run by Aramark, it is not technically under the aegis of the University. After a roll call, the resolution was passed. The final matter concerned the allocation of funds to student organizations. Two stu-

dent organizations – the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) and The Capstone Agency – both requested funds to travel to the same conference in Orlando. Upon investigation, it was noted by the Financial Affairs Committee (FAC) that some of the members appeared to be requesting funds through both organizations. After speaking with the organizations, the FAC approved $1200 for the PRSSA (of the requested $1987.50) and $1200 for The Capstone Agency (of the requested $2120). Additionally, Sen. Austin Barranco, a sophomore representing the College of Arts and Sciences, has drawn up a petition to demonstrate student support for two new parking decks,

one behind Shelby Hall on the newly acquired grounds of Bryce Hospital, and the other on the current location of the West Commuter lot. In a meeting Saturday morning between Barranco and University Planner Dan Wolfe, it was confirmed that there will be a parking deck behind Shelby Hall. As to the West Commuter lot, Barrando said, “Until we can come up with a way to alleviate congestion, we won’t have a parking deck there. But I’m still looking to find a solution … we talked about possibly having police officers during heavy traffic times to deal with congestion.” A link to the petition can be found on the SGA website.

He would always help students when they couldn’t understand something.”

Consequently, Johnson became a mentor for many current students and even alumni in the OM department. Over the years, Johnson became more than just an employee or student to Davis—he became one of her closest friends as well. “He knew he could confide in me as well as I could confide in him,” Davis said. “All of these areas show what a wellrounded individual Trey was. He could always put a smile on your face. I know he is watching over all of us now, and we will see him again someday.” Johnson’s friends and

classmates in Operations Management originally came up with the idea to start the fund because he was such an integral part of the OM department. They wanted to help his family with the funeral expenses and remember Trey for how great of a person he was. “Trey J. was one of the most sarcastic and hilarious people I knew,” said Shauna Myers. “You couldn’t help but laugh and have a good time when you were around him. He had a great heart and would go out of his way to help anyone. Heaven definitely gained an angel that this temporary world lost.”

Three bills were debated at the SGA Senate meeting last Thursday. The first was Bill 30-11, which was an amendment to the rules regarding special sessions of the First Year Council (FYC). The bill was vetoed by SGA President Grant Cochran. It was vetoed on the grounds that in changing the rules for the FYC the Senate had violated the FYC’s independence as a separate chamber and, in doing so, violated the SGA Constitution. The bill originally gave the Speaker of the Senate the authority to call special sessions of the FYC.

Competing in a sport that combines swimming, biking and running might be daunting for some people, but for UA professor Catherine Pagani, not only is it possible, it’s fun. Pagani recently returned from a 10-day trip to Beijing for the International Triathlon Union World Championship. She represented Team USA in the sprint distance triathlon, which consisted of a .45 mile swim, 13.2 mile bike ride and 5K run. “I started out just running,” Pagani said. “There were people in my running group who biked, and I could already swim, so that’s how I got involved with triathlons.” Pagani’s first triathlon was a half Ironman, which is much longer than a sprint triathlon. “I like the level of fitness of triathlons,” she said. “Training is never boring if you train smart. There is something so wonderful about learning your limits in a controlled way and building up to three sports.” Last September, she competed in the USA Triathlon National Championship held in Tuscaloosa along the Black

The Bama Theatre’s power was restored over the weekend after power outages caused them to cancel events last week, including The Bama Art House screening of the film “Beginners.” Instead of cancelling the screening all together, The Bama has decided to show the film tonight Monday, Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the show can be bought at the box office before the show and prices will remain the same, $7

for general admission and $6 for students and seniors. “Beginners” is the story of a young man who is flooded with memories of his father, who, at the age of 75, announced his cancer diagnosis and came out of the closet, as he falls in love. Tuesday’s screening of “Terri” and the rest of The Bama Art House series will continue as planned.

You have to stick with a routine.” When Pagani became the chair of the art department, she said she let aspects of the job consume much of her life, and exercise became a way for her to help alleviate the stress. “It is important to have a regular exercise routine,” she said. “It makes me happier and more efficient with my job.” She was inspired by the multiple 80-year-old racers who took home gold medals and plans to continue racing for as long as she can. “Going abroad was not just about competing,” she said. “I did it all by myself, with all my stuff. It was an adventure, and it’s all about personal challenges.”

Tide rushers: Three yards or a cloud of dust By Tony Tsoukalas Sports Editor ajtsoukalas@crimson.ua.edu

Traditional running teams often play an offense described as three yards and a cloud of dust. Saturday night, Alabama running backs Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy’s play could be described as three yards or a cloud of dust, a cloud of dust the dynamic duo left defenders in. The two running backs took turns breaking electrifying touchdown runs, scoring on four 40-plus yard touchdowns en route to a combined 328 yards on 20 carries. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” Lacy said. “When we broke it was 30 or 40 plus yards, but when we ran short plays it seemed we only got a few yards.”

Lacy and Richardson both had career days. Lacy rushed for 163 yards on nine carries. Lacy racked up most of his runs on just two plays, 43 and 67-yard touchdown runs. The 67-yard scamper was the longest in Lacy’s career. “That is one of the best feelings as a running back,” Lacy said. “You don’t have to worry about anybody touching you or hitting you. The offensive line did what they are supposed to do and the wide receivers blocked down field, just scoring a touchdown is one of the best feelings ever.” For Richardson, it was much of the same story. The Heisman hopeful had just 23 yards on six carries in the first quarter. Richardson, however, turned on the jets late, scoring on 58-yard and 71-yard touchdown runs en route to 169 yards on 11 carries.

“It is always a relief (to get a big gain),” Richardson said. “You pound them and pound them for so long, and you are sitting there waiting. You know you are going to pop off sooner or later, and we did.” Alabama’s 347 rushing yards are the most the team has rushed for all season. Both running backs credited the performance of the offensive line to create big holes to run through. “The offensive line looked great,” Lacy said. “I love them. They are only getting better every week, and I am behind them 100 percent.” Alabama center, William Vlachos, said the big runs indicated that everybody on the line was doing his job. “It is a sign of everybody knowing who they are responsible for,”

Vlachos said. “When we do it right, that is the kind of stuff that happens.” With the Tide losing several running backs to transfers and injuries this off-season, many questioned the team’s depth at running back. However, Richardson and the offense were never concerned. “A lot of people questioned it,” Richardson said. “We weren’t worried about it, because we knew we had a lot of people that could step in. Jalston Fowler, Eddie Lacy and Blake Sims, those boys bring a lot to the table. I know that when I am out, I am secure with them in the game.” Last game’s performance should give the Razorbacks plenty of things to focus on.

Richardson said that due to the weapons Alabama has on offense, it is a very hard offense to plan for. “They are going to have to watch a lot of film on us,” Richardson said. “Like I said, we are not just a one player team. We are moving the ball and our quarterbacks are good.” Now that the Tide has seen the potential of the ground game, the trick will be maintaining the success on offense for the remainder of the season. “It seems like this offense is really starting to click and gel together,” Richardson said. “The chemistry is starting to get together and the offensive line did pretty well the second half so we just need to keep moving on.”

SOCCER

Quick strike ability beats Morehead State By Miranda Murphy Sports Reporter mjmurphy2@crimson.ua.edu The Alabama women’s soccer team improved their record to 5-2-1, defeating Morehead State University on Sunday. The Crimson Tide won its first ever match against Morehead State 2-1. “We’ve got mixed emotions coming out of here,” head coach Todd Bramble said. “We found a way to get the win and the game, but it wasn’t our best performance.” The Tide struck early when junior Ashley Willis took the ball to the far post in the first minute of the game. The goal was Willis’s second of the season. Morehead State University tied the game up in the second half when Devon Jordan chipped the ball past sophomore Shanna Brooks. “It was a good shot from the outside,” Bramble said. “It just snuck in under the crossbar. I thought Shanna’s footwork and the ability to try to get back to that was good, but it was just

CW|Megan Smith placed perfectly.” Both teams had some good scoring chances and picked up their pace after Morehead’s goal. “It was really intense for both teams,” Brooks said. “We pulled the win out, but we also gave them the chance to score goals that we shouldn’t have let them have.” Freshman Pia Rijsdijk scored the game-winner in the 75th minute after following through on a shot by senior K.K. Duffy. The goal was Rijsdijk’s first goal with the team. “Being the first to rebounds is extremely important, whether

its goals coming off of the goalkeeper, goalpost or crossbar,” Bramble said. “Fortunately, Pia was paying attention to detail today and got there and had the composure to stick it in.” Brooks earned a win in her second game with the Tide this season, as goalkeeper Justine Bernier is currently playing for Team Canada. “I think we are ready for next week,” Rijsdijk said. “We are doing better every week. It wasn’t our best play today, but we’re ready for SEC play.” The Tide will play Vanderbilt Friday at 7 p.m. and Kentucky on Sunday at 1 p.m.
