By Charles Scarborough Staff Reporter cjscarborough@crimson.ua.edu Tuscaloosa officials have begun working with the University in order to incorporate school events into general planning for the city’s amphitheater. The venue is set to open in the spring and students can expect to see UA events at the amphitheater shortly thereafter. Student Government Association President James Fowler said he is excited by the prospect of teaming with amphitheater officials. “I believe it will be an extremely positive, mutually beneficial relationship,”

Fowler said. “[The city] would be smart to do all they can to incorporate the University in their plans, and we would be wise to consistently utilize the amphitheater because it will be a great resource.” Mayor Walt Maddox said he believes it is crucial to the success of the amphitheater to engage the University. “I think it is very important for us to involve and integrate the University of Alabama into the amphitheater,” Maddox said. “We are already working with University Programs and portions of the athletic department to discover and create ways to involve the

Covington said the organization’s most anticipated event, however, is its “Letter Writing� initiative set to take place in the Ferguson Student Center on Nov. 16. Student organizations, or any person interested, will be encouraged to have their members collect addresses of potential donors who can contribute needed funds to St. Jude. Up ‘til Dawn will hand out letters to be personalized by the members who have addresses of prospective donors on hand. Chris Brandt, Up ‘til Dawn’s sponsorship chairman and a senior majoring in kinesiology, said St. Jude garners on average about $100 per letter sent. Covington said Up ‘til Dawn last year raised more than $10,000 for St. Jude, and she said the organization hopes to surpass that amount with this year’s fundraising. Brandt said Up ‘til Dawn has made some progress in galvanizing students to take a proactive interest in the fight against childhood cancer. “I have heard positive feedback,� Brandt said. “We had a booth out [during Get On Board Day] and had a lot of positive feedback then. Hopefully, it’ll pick up.� Brandt said the organization currently boasts the

largest committee of Up ‘til Dawn in the chapter’s history at the Capstone. Will Cravens, a student volunteer for Up ‘til Dawn and a freshman majoring in public relations, said he collected donations on Tuesday that will benefit St. Jude. “Today, we stood out in the middle of the Quad collecting money and getting donations,� Cravens said. “Overall, we’ve been getting a lot of donations.� Brandt said the projection for this year’s donations will depend on the next few weeks of preparation for the “Letter Writing� and the amount of people involved in the fundraising. “We definitely want to go above [$10,000],� Brandt said. “But we got a while until our main event.�

Speaker urges women to get political By Zoe Storey Contributing Writer

Natalie Davis, a public opinion expert and professor at Birmingham Southern College, spoke Monday in the second installment of the Women’s Political Initiative lecture series.

Luke Lawlor, a junior majoring in classics, said the growth of the University has been good for the community. “I think it’s been pretty awesome,” Lawlor said. “It’s really cool to see so many people and so much activity, especially during the games. Lawlor said the growth is comes with drawbacks, however. “As cool as being surrounded by all these people is, it’s sometimes an issue,” Lawlor said. “Game days are the most obvious examples for overcrowding.” Lawlor thinks the bustling student body is good for local businesses. “These massive amounts of people also mean businesses are going to try to cater to different groups,” Lawlor said.

University of Alabama into this project. “The University of Alabama has a $1.2 billion economic impact on Tuscaloosa’s local economy. It’s in our best interest that we find ways to incorporate University students into the amphitheater. “ Gary Weinberger, president of Red Mountain Entertainment, the company promoting and booking the amphitheater, said there has been an on-going dialogue with the University and the current plan is to work with each other. “We have had several conversations with University Programs, and our intention is to collaborate with them as often as possible,” Weinberger said.

We rank 50th in the nation for the percentage of women in the legislature.” Davis ran for Senate in 1996 and has continued to be heavily involved with politics at the state level. She spoke of the discouragement women often face because political fields are often male dominant. “‘We don’t want you to get

not consider the growth to be great news. Creitz, a junior in New College, said crowding and rising tuition are major concerns. “I think it’s getting entirely too crowded, like the town is getting too big for its britches,” Creitz said. “It’s trying to compensate for more students, but there’s no way to effectively do that without tearing down half of the city. Creitz said she thinks such a large student body should give UA financial independence. “You’d think they’d reach a plateau at which the student population could increase without tuition increasing,” Creitz said. UA tuition increased almost 100 percent for in state and out of state students between 2002 and 2009, while enrollment grew from about 19,600 to 28,800. At Auburn University, tuition increased 108 percent for in-state and 97 percent for out-of-state students in the same time frame. Auburn’s enrollment grew from about 24,000 to about 25,000. geared toward the interests of the UA student community. “Acts tour cyclically, and when they are available and we believe that they make sense to play in Tuscaloosa, then we are going to make them an offer, and we will be working in collaboration with University Programs in trying to identify those bands that will draw well and that University students would enjoy attending,” Weinberger said. However, Weinberger refrained from speculating about who those acts might be. “I am not really good with hypothetical (situations),” he said. “We are a 7,000-capacity venue and our intention is to go after acts that can play up to a 7,000-capacity place,” Weinberger said. “We will see who is available and those will be the acts that we book, but I am not good at coming up with a wish list … it’s really about who’s around.”

Education, childcare, health care and senior care — these are all things women care about, she said. It is not that men do not care; these issues

Kacy Davis, a junior majoring in restaurant and hospitality management, said she has enjoyed the Universitiy’s growth because of the jobs it creates. “Now that I’m a student, I notice how many jobs we fill all over town and the impact we have on local businesses, especially when campus clears out for the summer,” Davis said. William Gonzenbach, a professor in the department of advertising and public relations, said the growth is great for UA and the community. “The growth has led to an exceptional and diverse student body, and it has helped provide the resources to maintain an excellent faculty and a beautiful and vibrant campus,” Gonzenbach said. Gonzenbach said there are few negative aspects. “I’ve been at Alabama for 20 years, and I can say without question this is the most exciting, dynamic time I’ve experienced here,” Gonzenbach said. “I think it is an exceptional place today for faculty, staff and students.” Red Mountain Entertainment was initially intended to manage and operate the amphitheater, but now those responsibilities are legally bound to the city. Despite the change in plans, Weinberger said he believes there is no gray area between Red Mountain and Tuscaloosa in terms their roles. “We have a great relationship with the city, and we have an agreement with the city that spells out the responsibilities of our company and the responsibilities of the city.” Maddox said he believes the Tuscaloosa economy is rebounding and the amphitheater poses no major risk. “I believe it’s a little risk to the overall economy,” Maddox said. “In fact, I envision it probably being a considerable boost to the economy. “I don’t know how a $16 million construction project, along with a venue that will likely

The Alabama legislature has accomplished almost nothing in the past five years. “We did establish a state nut,” she said, “I know a lot of state nuts, but this one is the pecan.” Davis said that breaking into politics was not a simple task for a woman. “People are not born Republican or Democratic, aggressive or introspective, bitchy or not,” Davis said. “You have to learn.

and equality weighed heavily in Attorney General Eric Holder’s remarks. His wife Sharon Malone attended the event and is the sister of Vivian Malone Jones, one of the first African American students to attend the University of Alabama in 1963. “It is really an honor to support the work being done on the University of Alabama campus to ensure that this place of learning is also a place of healing,” Holder said. “Because of that work, this University, once a battleground in America’s civil rights struggle, is now a force for tolerance and for inclusion, a forum for the peaceful exchange of ideas. “With the new issues and fears that now confront us, it remains our story,” he said. “The message still resonates with us today, 50 years later.” Holder emphasized throughout his speech the importance of searching for ideal justice at the current time. have seven to 10 major acts a year plus dozens of other events, could be a problem to the economy.” Maddox also said the amphitheater will not occupy a major portion of the city’s operating budget. “In terms of the city budget, the amphitheatre is being funded by 2 percent of the city lodging tax which is solely dedicated to the construction, maintenance and guest service of the facility itself,” he said. “That will provide the revenues for about 80 percent of its cost. “The remaining 20 percent is mostly made up of operational costs, show-by-show costs,” he said. “We believe will be covered by ticket sales, sponsorships [and] box sales. We sold out every box for the amphitheatre. This year’s budget, it will cost less to operate the amphitheatre then any other park in the city of Tuscaloosa.”

ugly word, so often we do not search for it.” She said the population has a positive view of women in politics. The problem is that women do not run. It is important to have critical mass at the front end in order to have a high yield at the conclusion. Davis advised the young women in attendance to get involved early, to volunteer with a campaign now and to consider a possible career in politics — one not necessarily as an elected official. She also spoke of the merits of internships.

Brittany Filasek, a freshman majoring in biology, said she had not considered politics until now. “She made it seem like you can get involved and it is fun,” Filasek said. “A campaign might be something I would try, but I would like to take a political science class first.” “You are at an age where all of this counts. You want to graduate college and live here and raise your children here,” Davis said. “Unless you do that, Alabama won’t be a place you would want to live.”

“As we have seen in recent decades, and unfortunately, in recent days, the world has not yet run its course of religious intolerance and bigotry. Injustice remains … divisions and disparities remain.” Holder reminded the audience, though, that change starts with individual people. “Individual actions count, individual actions matter,” he said. “’To Kill a Mockingbird’ contains a simple but important message—the pursuit of justice can take many forms, but no matter what form, it always begins the same way, with a simple action by a hopeful person.” After the ceremony in the lecture hall, Holder briefly appeared at a reception held by the Honors College. Honors students and University faculty in attendance had the opportunity to meet the attorney general. Susan Speaker, one of the

event’s organizers and a sophomore in the Honors College, was pleased with how the ceremony played out. “I felt so honored to have the attorney general of the United States come and speak here, and I was blown away by his speech. It was so inspiring and encouraging—I left inspired to go out and change the world, like he talked about,” she said. Even more moved by the celebration of the novel’s 50th anniversary was Sharon Malone. “My family has longstanding ties with the University of Alabama, and over the years, [Vivian] came to love it here and so do we,” she said. “The historical significance of having an attorney general be responsible for getting my sister into the University of Alabama, and now bringing my husband back here as the attorney general is something that will forever be a warm spot in my heart,” she said.

By Wesley Vaughn

Henry Ford once said, “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” The 2010 Gubernatorial Debate held here at the University last week was a gale force wind. I am both proud and glad that UA, through the hard work of students and others, hosted the debate because it showcased everything wrong with Alabama politics directly in front of the upand-coming generation. The candidates treated viewers to conventional Alabama campaign rhetoric. It was as if they did not care whether many in attendance could decipher their political speak. In truth, they did not and will not need to appeal to students anyway — as if they could in the first place. Neither of their political bases relies on the youth vote, which results in an undesirable political environment for college students. On one hand, Agricultural Commissioner Ron Sparks opened with how bad Alabama was “hurting” and talked up his plans to legalize gambling. On the other, Dr. Robert Bentley made his moral background and stances known and promised to create jobs. These two gubernatorial options will only cause some students to wash their hands off and leave the state. I cannot blame them either. The discourse was maddening. Though Alabama has one of the most regressive tax systems in the nation, Bentley claimed the state’s taxes do not burden the poor. While cheering on the idea

of “innovative schools,” Sparks dismissed charter schools with an uncited statistic concerning their allegedly poor performance rate. Bentley’s entire pitch is that he will create jobs, yet he stumbled when asked about finding industries that best fit certain areas of the state. For industrial expansion in a region known mostly for its hunting, he suggested the hiring of “deer people” and the implementation of “reserves.” Oh, deer indeed. Sparks’ entire campaign is built on legalizing and taxing gambling to fund education. He touted Georgia’s success with the HOPE scholarship, but for some reason, he failed to mention that not every student receives that scholarship and Georgia has consequently faced rising tuition costs. Not a bet I’m willing to take. In response to the state’s education budget having heavy ties to unstable sales tax revenue, Bentley proposed that the best fix is to simply put people back to work. Not that Alabama could and should change its constitution to tie the budget more with stable tax revenue from property tax, which happens to be the lowest in the nation according to the Tax Foundation of Washington, D.C. It’s what other states do to much more success. But trust him instead; he is a doctor — a dermatologist to be exact. You get the picture. Both candidates certainly have what it takes

to become governor. Neither, though, have what it takes to be a transformational governor. On this pace, our state may never realize its potential, as election after election is won by politicians who have no desire to drastically change Alabama. Their only desire is to change their government position. Inspiring candidates do not appear magically and face a difficult path towards election, let alone party nomination. Representative Artur Davis and Bradley Byrne know this all too well. This mockery of a debate was a challenge to us students. Some will laugh it off as they walk away. Others will support or ignore the current conditions. A slim minority will decide to answer the call for unexplainable reasons. Lee Oswald grasps that mindset when he writes, “Happiness is taking part in the struggle, where there is no borderline between one’s own personal world, and the world in general.” This state needs its youth to step up. Just a little bit of change in Alabama would be monumental, and it can and should be spearheaded by our generation. Though parties define our political system, I cannot promise much fun. All I can promise is that this state’s political establishment will endure alongside Alabama’s problems if they are not challenged. We are a go for takeoff, ladies and gentlemen.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR “I stayed until the last second of the game to honor the effort the Duke players gave.” — Rodney, in response to “Duke out of place on the gridiron”

“Does Bama have a basketball team?” — Robert Parrish,in response to “Duke out of place on the gridiron”

It’s time we gave the lottery a chance A column written by Tray Smith in the Sept. 17 edition of The Crimson White bashed a gubernatorial candidate and his plan to help fund a scholarship program this state desperately needs. That candidate is Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks, who promises he will bring an education lottery to Alabama similar to the programs in every state that we border. While the author mentioned the social negatives, which are always exaggerated, he did not provide a solution or provide support for the other candidate (local dermatologist Robert Bentley).

Sparks, whom anyone that attended last week could tell you dominated the debate despite his grammatical errors, is attacked from many angles in the article. First off, the notion that people are going to continue to cross state lines if the lottery and other forms of gambling are legalized is ridiculous. Secondly, people are going to gamble regardless. Why should the state not allow its residents a chance to tax some of this money and use it for education? Many will vote for Bentley because they feel it is their duty to support the Republican party regardless of the fact that Bentley’s only plan is to create a Director of Small Business and not take a salary until unemployment is severely reduced. Last time I

checked, the position he proposes creating only creates one job; and according to Bentley’s tax return, he rakes in over $210,000 a year, which leaves him with plenty to live comfortably on without the $100,000 annual salary he could make as governor. In February, a statewide poll was collected by the Birmingham News, and 72 percent of Alabamians supported legalizing some form of gambling as long as it was regulated and taxed. Allow Dr. Bentley to tackle tough issues such as acne, and let Ron Sparks help bring the state something it has needed for a long time to come. Taylor Ashy is a senior majoring in finance.

This past Thursday was a chance for the University to shine, and did it ever. With the eyes of the state upon it, the Capstone showed everyone watching something that we Capstonians already know: This campus is home to one of the leading universities in the nation, and we are working to build a better future for our struggling state. While the gubernatorial candidates at the debate last Thursday may unfortunately not have come across as very engaging and visionary political personalities, their performance shouldn’t reflect on the hard work many of our students did to make the debate happen. They brought together an excellent venue, a well-behaved audience of other students and spectators, an outstanding moderator, and a spectacular stage. Viewers at home had reason to be impressed with what they saw. Aside from football games and winning the BCS National Championship, the gubernatorial debate was one of the most exciting things to have happened on this campus since I began my college experience here last year. It excited students of all types, including those who have never before been involved in politics. I applaud the student leaders who made it happen, and I thank the University’s administrators for allowing this event to occur. However, I hope that this debate becomes the beginning of a journey full of exciting events, and not the day trip it appears to be. There are a number of things this University does right: recruiting, fundraising and football. However, promoting programs that enhance student life has been one of its biggest shortcomings. Look around — there are no sponsored concerts this year, few nationally recognized speakers, and a small number of advertised campus events. While we were sitting in Coleman Coliseum last year basking in the disappointment of Taking Back Sunday, Auburn’s student body rocked out to the Goo Goo Dolls and UGA mellowed out to Owl City. This year, I am not asking for improvement. I am asking for something, anything, because we have nothing scheduled. University Programs, the department responsible for supporting such events, does everything it can with what it has. Which is not much. The University could dramatically enhance student life by allotting more money for such programs. Auburn more than doubled its programs budget last year. Without more funds, this department can’t take risks and schedule big name talent and world-renowned speakers. I understand major social events have some risks associated with them, but without risk there can be no success. Look at Alabama football. It was a huge risk to start a football team in the late 1800s. The athletic department had to buy uniforms, build a field and, shockingly, encourage students to come out and watch. Now over 100 years later, this school is known for football. I wonder if our administration, so focused on minimizing risks, would have approved such a program if it held power during the 1890s. Alabama may always have the reputation of being a party school, but to challenge this we need events that don’t require a shot of whiskey or a pint a beer to be entertaining. I hope the University moves forward this year and provides a wholesome alternative to the parties that are too often the only entertainment venue for students. I hope the University goes after big name artists for concerts and comedians for shows. I hope the University goes after hosting huge events like College Jeopardy, but, honestly, my main hope is that the University just does something to enhance student life.

No one can deny who presently stands alone at the top of the college football world: our very own Crimson Tide. Who can argue? We finished the regular season undefeated for the second year in a row, all while in the finest football conference in the land. We played the role of kryptonite in Atlanta, bringing Superman to tears, taking the I-20 ride back with SEC title hardware. Mark Ingram collected the finest award in the sport in New York. Then we made it a baker’s dozen, toppling Texas in Pasadena. The Tide started its 2010 campaign in college football’s new showcase: Bryant-Denny Stadium. With over 101,000 seats, Bryant-Denny, when hosting its championship football team, easily provides one of the most awesome college football experiences

in the nation. Our football program is the envy of those around the country. Foes obsess about us at their practices, devoting sections of preparation every day just for their meeting with the mighty Crimson Tide. Visitors are overwhelmed entering our gridiron palace, as our national championship coaches seem to stare them down as they look at our seemingly endless archive of championship teams. So, I guess I have made it clear. We have the finest team and the finest stadium right here in Tuscaloosa. But even after cataloging the glories of the Crimson Tide, there happens to be one category where the Saban Nation is not number one in the gridiron world. What could be possibly be missing in this Crimson paradise? There really is not a true measure of how tough it is to play at a certain stadium for a visiting team. Several sports

junkies take shots at rating college football’s “toughest” stadiums to play at. While so many factors and biases play into such a rating, it seems the top five to ten stadiums are found in every sorting of “toughest” to play at. As you can imagine, you can find Bryant-Denny Stadium in a few of these. But the sprinkling of our stadium’s name in these rankings is just the problem. There is no doubt that Bryant-Denny stadium should be the toughest place to play in the nation, hands down. Football talking heads still consider Neyland Stadium, where people sing rather compulsively about dating bear and cat hybrids, tougher to leave with victory than the ruler of the Tuscaloosa skyline. Surprisingly, some claim that Jordan-Hare Stadium is more hostile for visitors than its chief rival. I have to be fair; it got

pretty loud Saturday night when Auburn’s crackerjack offense finally pieced together enough gimmicks to post points on the home side of the scoreboard. Even in the decline of the program in Baton Rouge, Tiger Stadium, possibly still riding of a 1987 seismic event, rates ahead of Bryant-Denny in difficulty of venue for opponents. Others considered ahead of Alabama are USC, Florida, Georgia and Ohio State. It is in our hands to match the championship level of our team with a crowd that dominates the atmosphere for 60 minutes. We already do a very good job, so lets take it to another level. We have the manpower, and we definitely have much reason to cheer. We can make BryantDenny the loudest, toughest and most feared place to play in America. Coach Saban made it clear during the weekly radio appear-

ance before the Mississippi State game in 2008 that we shouldn’t care about who we are playing. We should make the stadium as tough and daunting as possible for the opposition. So while you are taking the 10-minute West Commuter hike to your car in the sweltering September heat, look to your left at our modern-day coliseum and think of how you are going to do your part to make BryantDenny a living hell for opposing teams. Take that rage of fighting 3,100 of your peers for 1,500 parking spots to the student section on game day. The Tide reigns in every other college football measure. We can take the top spot in the rankings of hostile college football environments. So in the words of our career undefeated quarterback: Let’s go be champions.

TCF class holds auditions for show By Lauren Braun Contributing Writer

Last year, a new course was added in the department of telecommunication and film, TCF 451: Advanced Television Production. The class is designed to give upperlevel students in the College of Communications and Information Sciences insight into the production aspect of television. Professor Adam Schwartz assigned a project to the class — create a television pilot. Because of the success of the pilot created in its first year, the TCF department decided to offer the class again. “[The professor is] pretty open with helping us if we have something, but right now he’s trying to take a step back‌ and not so much micromanage us,â€? said Andrew Carey, a senior. “If we need suggestions he’s open to helping us out.â€? About a dozen students

make up the class, which allows each student to have hands-on experience in the production process. Each student has an opportunity to pitch an idea for the storyline, which they then choose through a vote. Director Marcus Tortorici’s idea won in a landslide. Though Tortorici, a junior, thought of the premise of the pilot, scriptwriters Andrew Carey and Heath Williamson were chosen to write the screenplay. “The class so far has been kind of roundtable discussion,� Carey said. “We got to do pitches first. The idea wasn’t me and Heath’s, so we had to take Marcus’ idea and develop it from there.� The two have just completed a rough draft for the pilot, which the rest of the class will critique, then offer suggestions, Carey said. According to Carey and Williamson, the pitch focuses on a high school senior

suffering from psychosis, a mental disorder associated with a detachment from reality and includes hallucinations. He has recently been released from a mental institution and is re-entering high school. The character struggles to appear normal by hiding and controlling his psychosis, but it is extremely difficult because “his day dreams manifest into reality,� Williamson said. The main character also has an imaginary sidekick. Despite dealing with a serious mental disorder, the script is meant to be lighthearted and playful, which the scriptwriters demonstrate through the character’s humorous hallucinations. Because students taking the class will be focusing on the production of the television pilot, they will need actors and actresses. Members of the class created a Facebook event detailing the open audition process.

Auditions will be held Friday, Sept. 24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Tuesday, Sept. 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Reese Phifer, Room 180. For more information regarding auditions, students can contact Katherine Longfield, a member of the class and co-producer of the pilot, at kelongfield@ ua.edu. Once the characters have been cast, filming will begin. The main location will be a local high school. Filming may also take place at the Aquatic Center because of a scene near the end of the pilot involving a pool and a high dive. Other filming locations have yet to be determined. The pilot will be filmed on location using cameras supplied by the TCF department. The project is still in the beginning stages, since the class has the entire semester to complete it. Last year, the final product, “Cast and Crew,� was shown at

the Bama Theatre, and Carey said the class hopes to show their project there as well. The project is representational of the production process of a television show. From the plot to the actors to the cameras, each decision regarding the production is left up to the students. This decision-making process allows them to get a glimpse of real world television production, helping them decide their interest level in the subject. “When you are writing for something, you do have to answer to people, so I think that part’s accurate,� Carey said. “We had to apply for our jobs on the movie and give vision statements for the parts and tell what we were going to do and pitch ourselves as capable. We didn’t just get handed out jobs.� Lifestyles Editor Kelsey Stein contributed to this report.

Many people post notices in the organic grocery store Manna on McFarland Boulevard, or you can search through people’s interests on Facebook, Hoade said. “There is a good number of Buddhists on campus, but it’s a loose group,� Hoade said. “Oftentimes it’s a word of mouth thing. Once you meet that person it’s like a pebble dropped into a pond and the ripples go out and you see that there are a lot of other people. The networking is just amazing. It networks out and it happens organically, that is a really nice thing about Buddhism.� Hoade also said being at a University makes it easier. “The people you meet who are interested in Buddhism or are Buddhist are, generally speaking, the most inquisitive, most intelligent people,� Hoade said. “So at a University, which is all about learning, you’re going to find a lot of people who are into it already or who are open to it.� Hoade said Buddhism can be defined by the four noble truths, the three marks of existence and the difference between the three vehicles of Buddhism. He recommended the Wikipedia page on Buddhism as an “excellent and in-depth� source for further information.

Ferg shows documentary for Heritage Month

COLUMN | MUSIC

Unreleased track shows Duncan at best By Morgan Dowdy I should repeat with affection, for those who don’t know, the frequently observed fact that Blaine Duncan teaches high school English by day. By night he stands sweating over the sticky floor of Egan’s, semiobscured by s m o ke and sheer sonic force, almost equidistant between his band and a rolling crowd of friends and strangers. Plumes of beer fill the air as he counts off into the next song. Do his students have any idea? Duncan stands at close to six feet, grows straight blonde hair from out his head and has the sort of clean shave you might find on the cheek of a plaster bust. At 33, he has survived one near-fatal car crash, one marriage and divorce, an occasional propensity for substance overindulgence and a swath of smoldering heartbreaks. A rÊsumÊ to embitter the most upbeat among us, Duncan retains his trademark good nature, preferring to sacrifice those demons in his songwriting. From a lyrical standpoint, Duncan’s eponymous first album — released in 2009 but recorded a year earlier — was a restless churning of dark humor, delirium and Southern doom. Such universal themes as whiskey, poverty, soul searching, pills and love affairs filled its often-impudent verses, with a clever social or political quip

occasionally added for good measure (“I don’t think certain people should be in government� — he ain’t kidding). The album’s music drew most overtly from the blistering alternative-country-rock of the Drive-By Truckers and the Dexateens, but also, to me, appeared aligned with quite another flavor of altcountry: that of Conor Oberst. Duncan’s vocals, though scratchier and less warbling, often resemble Oberst’s, especially on the latter-half of the album (excepting the closing track). Of course, unlike Oberst, Duncan’s drawl is not copped but indigenous, and his overall approach intends, truth-be-told, to raise more hell. Still, Duncan certainly exhibited some lyrical and vocal instincts not unlike those of Oberst, and that’s a compliment. It’s worth noting that both consider themselves songwriters first. The unreleased track “Reckless,� received recently by your columnist in early demo form, embodies a substantial maturation in Duncan’s personal voice as a songwriter. “And it’s a reckless motherf---er/that don’t listen to the words,� laments Duncan over his own simple-but-supportive acoustic accompaniment. Those familiar themes of substance dependency and existential malaise are reengaged from the more even-tempered vantage of a world-weary postdivorce Duncan. His sense of

By Lauren Cuervo Contributing Writer “Made in L.A., Hecho en Los Angeles� is a story for anyone who buys clothes, as well as a story of the struggle for basic human rights. The film will be shown in the Ferguson Center game room tonight at 7 p.m. The Emmy-award-winning documentary and official selection of the Los Angeles Film Festival is being presented as part of the events of Hispanic Latino Heritage Month. It tells the story of three Latina immigrants working in Los Angeles sweatshops during their three-year journey to win basic labor protections from clothing retailer Forever 21. Maria Victoria PerezFisher, the peer education programs coordinator at the Women’s Resource Center, said she hopes the message resonates with UA students. “I picked this film because people don’t think about where their merchandise comes from and the working conditions of the people who had to make it,� PerezFisher said. “It’s important for Americans to realize that they wouldn’t pick these jobs and that because only immigrants are willing to take them, they are being treated as sub-humans.� All three of the film’s women come to Los Angeles from Central America in hopes of finding a better life, but are forced to work in terrible conditions and endure personal struggles. One woman has been working in garment factories for 15 years since coming to the United States at 17; one had to leave her three children behind in order to find a job that would better support them; and one has been struggling against domestic abuse for 23 years since she left Mexico at 18. These three women join forces with other immigrant workers at L.A.’s Garment Worker Center to stand up for their rights as humans in the workplace. Their protest becomes very public when they launch a lawsuit and a boycott. “The film really shows the terrible working conditions

humor has shifted as well, from sprawling irreverence to something more pointed. At the song’s pre-chorus, Duncan sings: “And it’s become trite/I’m always disappointed, the drugs are alright/And it’s a short life;� then, at the chorus: “Wishing every morning was Saturday night.� It’s the stuff of a local anthem. Indeed the full-band version, performed live on numerous occasions, has ended in an unsolicited audience sing-along each time I’ve seen it. So the exc e l l e n t “Reckless,� c o n su m mate Tuscaloosa anthem it appears to be, vaults Duncan into the highest tier of local songwriters. Hopefully the final version will maintain the demo’s stripped-down instrumentation; Duncan’s lyrics and vocal delivery deserve the spotlight. No doubt whatever form the song takes should be a compelling one. If “Reckless� is any indication of what’s to come from Blaine Duncan, his next album holds about as much promise as anyone could reasonably hope for. Blaine Duncan & the Lookers can be found onstage at Mellow Mushroom (19 and up) this Friday evening at 10 p.m., billed alongside Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires; then at Egan’s (21 and up) Oct. 16.

FOOTBALL

Hightower faces old nemesis By Tony Tsoukalas Senior Sports Reporter ajtsoukalas@crimson.ua.edu A year ago The Crimson Tide saw linebacker Dont’a Hightower on the ground wincing in pain. Tide fans remember all too well the play against Arkansas last season, when Hightower tore both his ACL and MCL ligaments in his left knee, injuries that kept him out for the remainder of the season. Needless to say, this week is special for Hightower. “It means a lot, especially with the injury last year and them taking me out for the season,� Hightower said. “It means even more to me that it is our first SEC game this year. It’s pretty much the opening statement to the SEC as well as the country.� Despite the fact that Arkansas was the team who knocked Hightower out for the season, he said he holds no grudge towards the Razorbacks. “It wasn’t really a dirty block. I just didn’t play it as well as I should have,� Hightower said. The injury changed Hightower, perhaps, for the better. Hightower said that since the injury, he has focused a lot more on his technique as a linebacker in order to prevent further injuries. “Obviously, I didn’t want to get hurt again so I emphasized on [fundamentals] more than anything else,� Hightower said. “Playing lower and playing a little faster and playing

this will be a real challenge for this team this year but also an opportunity for them to learn, grow, develop and try to get better.� Arkansas’ heavy passing attack should provide Hightower and the rest of the defense with plenty of opportunities to get to the quarterback,

something that the sack-less linebacker said he is excited for. “I’ve yet to get a sack, but I’m itching for one this week,� Hightower said. “It would be the perfect week to get one, against a great quarterback and a team who wants to air the ball out.�

Volleyball looking to improve after losses The Alabama volleyball team had a tough weekend after being swept by Ole Miss 30-28, 25-22, 25-23. Even though every set was hard fought, the Crimson Tide expressed disappointment after being swept in their Southeastern Conference opener. “We’re bitter about it,� senior Kayla Schmidt said. “It was the little things that we weren’t doing right that made the difference in the game.� Head coach Judy Green thought last weekend’s loss was due to the bad week of practice leading up to it. “I don’t feel like there was one day where everyone came into practice fully ready to go,� she said. “There was a lack of focus, a lack of consistency. We need to adopt a mindset, that we always have to practice and play with a chip on our shoulder.� The loss comes after success in the Bama Bash and the CenturyLink Premier. Alabama was 8-2 before the loss, matching their win total from last year just two weeks into the season. The Tide’s first game in SEC play got mixed reactions on the team. “I think we got complacent,� Green said. “We were satisfied with what we had done up until that point and weren’t hungry anymore. We lost our mindset.� Sophomore Kelsey Johnson said, “Ole Miss is definitely tougher than anyone else we had played, but they’re definitely beatable. We just had a bad day.� As for this week’s practices,

We lost our rhythm there. We need to try and put together big scoring streaks. We were doing that well earlier in the season, and for some reason we couldn’t do that versus Ole Miss.� As Green focuses on the big picture, the players are looking inward for personal improvement. “I need to work on my serves and my communication with the rest of the team,� Johnson said. “As a whole, we need to keep that competitive energy going, we need to keep talking to each other.� Schmidt said, “I’m always trying to improve.

MEN’S TENNIS

Tide looks to build on tough weekend By Jordan Bannister Sports Reporter jmbannister@crimson.ua.edu

The Crimson Tide men’s tennis team opened its season this past weekend in Chicago at the coveted Fighting Illini Invitational held at the Olympia Fields Country Club in Olympia Fields, Ill. On day one, doubles matches seemed to be the largest obstacle for the Tide to overcome. However, Michael Thompson and Ian Chadwell seized a prime win over the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame’s

Casey Watt and Stephen Havens fell to the Tide duo, 8-4. Alabama senior Trey Walston and freshman Carlos Taborga also teamed up for a victory over the Irish, 8-6. In doubles over all, however, Notre Dame took four out of six matches against Alabama. “We’re just trying to find the right pairs,� said head coach Billy Pate. “It’s there. We were close, but doubles are different tactically. There is definitely a sense of urgency, but our season is nine months long, and this whole thing is a

learning process.� The only other win the Tide was able to claim on the first day was Ricky Doverspike over sophomore Zach Leslie of Wake Forest, 7-5, 6-3 in a singles match. Due to bad weather on day two, Alabama only participated in one round of matches, earning only one more win in the series. In singles, Walston collected the win over Wake Forest sophomore Amogh Prabhakar 6-4, 6-4. On day three of the Fighting Illini Invitational, Doverspike earned a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Illini’s Stephen Hoh before falling short by decision to Notre Dame’s No. 37 ranked Watt, 6-3, 6-1. Thompson took

both of his singles matches by storm. “He was better than his opponents that day,� Pate said. According to Pate, Thompson would have had a singles-winning weekend had it not been for the severe cramp he caught in his first match against Bruno Abdelnour of Illinois. He lost the match, 6-3, 5-7, 7-6(7). “Mentally, he was a stronger player than those guys,� Pate said. “But he couldn’t get over the loss Friday mentally or physically.� Pate remains optimistic about his team’s ability to bounce back from this weekend.

“Tennis isn’t like football, one loss and you’re out of the title,� he said. “Roger Federer and tons of guys have had major losses in their careers and they’re still champions. It’s not only about handling the loss, but managing the win. “Effort was great. We competed very hard. They were excited to open the season. In terms of the amount of success, we were a little disappointed. Ultimately, we just made a lot of mental errors, we blew the leads in a few matches and we had some bright spots for sure. That’s the experience we’re after, that’s why we play in the fall.� The team went straight back

to practice after Monday’s day of rest to get ready for this coming weekend’s tournament in Athens, Ga. The Southern Intercollegiate Tournament will have more than 40 teams competing. Undoubtedly, this is the largest fall tournament in the South. This tournament will be completely different than the Olympia Fields competition. More teams means more fierce matchups, and the Tide will head to Georgia with a clear head, ready to play. “Sometimes you can play well and lose and play crappy and win. But we know if we’re playing well and we’re competing well, we will be successful,� Pate said.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Tide hosts Roberta Alison Fall Classic By Bobby Thompson Contributing Writer

SOUTHERN TIDE NEW FOR FALL

1218 University Blvd. 205-752-2990 www.locker-room.biz

The women’s tennis team is set to host the Roberta Alison Fall Classic this weekend. The Crimson Tide will face Kentucky, Mississippi State, UAB, Samford, the University of Tennessee at Martin, Baylor, Tulane, Memphis and Georgia State. The classic will be held at the Alabama Tennis Stadium Friday through Sunday. Only the women’s team will compete in the tournament. The men will play in the Wilson/ITA Southern Regional Championships. The Tide has already been to two tournaments this season. In last weekend’s tournament, the Duke Tennis Fall Invitational, Alabama gave a strong performance, collecting 12 wins. “I was very pleased with our performance,� head coach

Jenny Mainz said. “We competed well throughout the weekend. I thought we showed a lot of consistency with the way we competed.� The Fall Classic is the first home game the Tide will host this season. “We are really looking forward to playing at home, in front of our fans,� Mainz said. “This will be a chance for us to showcase our beautiful campus and first-class facilities.� This weekend’s tournament will be a flighted tournament, where each draw will consist of eight players. Each player is guaranteed three singles and three doubles matches. Mainz said the Tide has worked hard in practice this week and is ready for this weekend’s tournament, and that Alabama has competed well and made improvements on playing consistently. “We want our players to play to their strengths,� Mainz said.

“Specifically, we are working on doing the right things under pressure.� The tournament is named after Roberta Alison, who played tennis for the University on the men’s tennis team during the sixties. She was a pioneer for women’s rights in sports. Jason Morton, the men’s tennis coach at Alabama at the time, found Alison training in preparation for the U.S. National Championship (now the U.S. Open). Alison’s admission to the team was the first official move toward allowing women to participate in varsity athletics in the Southeastern Conference. In her last two years at the University, Alison played in the No. 1 spot. “It is important to respect Alison’s courage, determination and grace,� Mainz said. “She provided lots of opportunities for women.�

UA Athletics Sophomore Alexa Guarachi returns a ball against the U.S. Junior National Team last year. The Crimson Tide will host the Roberta Alison Fall Classic this weekend.

Today's Horoscope Today’s birthday (9/22/10). Your mental focus increases this year when you intensify your connection with significant others. Time spent in conversation reveals a side of a partner you may not have understood or even suspected! Seek to deepen love and commitment. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Someone at work obsesses over issues that have no place in the project. Respond sympathetically, but keep everyone moving in the right direction. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Narrow your vision without losing track of the bigger picture. That way, you communicate all the necessary details and retain the scope. Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Maintain a detailed checklist of everything that needs to get done. Others go in different directions but arrive at the same goal. Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 6 -- You feel compelled to speak your mind now. With more than one target, you have plenty of pointed comments to choose from. Shoot at your own peril. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Pay attention to the details of bookkeeping. You may obsess over balances and due dates. Handle today’s problems today and let others wait. Don’t worry; be merry. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Pointing your friends in the right direction may require more than sticking your finger out. They may need inspiration and encouragement. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Co-workers have similar ideas about what should happen, but very different styles of communicating those thoughts. Resolve mixed emotions.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- If you attend a meeting today, be sure to take more than just your outline with you. Others want to understand the underlying principles. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- The inner workings of your family dynamics include intuition or psychic ability. Someone has a deeper sense of what needs to happen now. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Someone assumes the role of teacher and proceeds to lecture you. The critical tone does nothing to help. Tell a joke to lighten the atmosphere. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 5 -- The challenge today is in defining your goal. Take time to apply logic to your considerations. That way, energy from enthusiasm powers you. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Someone’s in an obsessively picky mood, and you’re the target. You could take it personally but don’t. It’s not about you. Don’t react.
