Gators chomped by Tide

By Bethany Blair Contributing Writer The Office of Information Technology sent out an e-mail Sept. 24 informing students of the consequences and qualifications for illegal file sharing on university networks. Mandated by the Higher Education Opportunity Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the e-mail’s main concern was raising student awareness about Internet safety and preventing abuse of university networks. The HEOA and DMCA work together to seek out illegal file sharing at universities across the nation. According to the HEOA website, universities are first required to draft a plan to deal with infringement and notify students who are participating in such activities. They must also ensure students know the rules governing file sharing and take proactive steps to prevent further offenses. Punishments for students caught file sharing range from loss of university Internet privileges and Student Code of Conduct Violations to jail time and criminal penalties, according to the OIT e-mail. If found guilty of criminal copyright infringement, offenders may face a five-year prison sentence and up to $250,000 fine per each work infringed, the e-mail also stated. “We don’t want it to sound threatening; we don’t want it to sound as though something really bad is going to happen to you if

UA lets students identify as two or more races By Katherine Martin Staff Reporter klmartin@crimson.ua.edu The federal government now requires universities to collect racial and ethnic data in greater detail, giving students the option for choosing two or more races, Cathy Andreen, director of media relations said. The University will report this information in two ways, Andreen said. “When reporting to the

United States Department of Education through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, UA, like all universities, will follow the federal mandate and count students who choose more than one race under the category for ‘Two or more races,’” Andreen said. For internal reporting, the University has chosen to report students in all ethnic and racial categories they identify, Andreen said. “This procedure leads to counting some students

multiple times in the same table and may result in a total higher than the number of individuals counted,” Andreen said. “We believe this method provides a more precise reflection of the racial and ethnic diversity of the student body.” This year, total enrollment at the University topped 30,232 students, according to research from the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment. However, the total demographic percentages add up to more than 101 percent. Caroline Harris, a junior

majoring in anthropology with an Italian minor, said she believes universities allow students to choose one or more ethnicities or race to make demographic numbers look better to attract a diverse group of students. “The more options students have,” Harris said, “the blurrier the truth gets in a way. Consequently, this option of being a part of many races or ethnicities blurs population studies as well.”

Seeing how we are practically a homogenous species, Harris said, the primary basis for race and ethnicity is cultural. “Personally, I think the option of choosing one or more really undermines the strength of who we identify with,” Harris said. “If students are proud of their background, culture, history, identity – one selection is strong enough. To me, this shows how far away society is moving from tradition.” Kirby Fields, a junior majoring in pre-med biology, said she thinks the University census represents ethnicities on campus fairly. “I think it would skew [the results], to an extent,” Fields said. “Although a lot of people choose not to put an ethnicity or race on anything anyway. So, I don’t know if that would be bad. You have mixed people, and you can’t just pick one or the other.” Chip Harrison, a sophomore majoring in history, said the new system seems like it’s cheating a bit and universities may just want to up their demographics to get more funding and support. Harrison said he didn’t have a problem with someone choosing one or more race if that accurately describes them. “I think the problem lies at the root of our system,” Harrison said, “[which is] trying so hard to promote diversity when ethnicity isn’t really a big deal.” By emphasizing race or ethnicity, Harrison said, you’re not really promoting unity on campus. “My attitude has always been that the University has put too much emphasis on race anyways,” Harrison said. “It puts a division on campus.”

UAPD gives hitand-run advice By Ethan Summers Staff Reporter summers.ethan@gmail.com

On the high traffic streets of Tuscaloosa, hit-and-runs are a problem many students have faced. Kacy Davis, a junior majoring in restaurant and hospitality management, said she discovered her vehicle had been struck while she was dining at Ruan Thai, a restaurant located at the end of The Strip across from Surin. “I got to Ruan Thai around 7:30 and walked outside to leave maybe an hour and a half later and I saw a huge dent in my back left bumper,� Davis said. “It just looked like someone else backing out of their space was in a huge hurry and miscalculated the amount of space they had. “The dent was way too

A hold is then placed on the student’s information allowing the OIT and DMCA to track their Internet use.

the Crimson Tide. Martin said the application process to obtain the license varies depending on the location and size of the company. Martin said she inspects the artwork the different companies submit so that she can determine if the clothing bears logos permitted by the University to be sold. “I see everything that comes in for the University and the Athletics department,� Martin said. Logos referring to alcohol or sexuality or offend against any race, ethnicity or religion are prohibited, she said. “We want to keep [the merchandise] classy,� Martin said. She said the CLC visits Tuscaloosa to enforce the regulations. The Tuscaloosa Police Department and University of Alabama Police Department also cooperate in “keeping an eye out on it,� Martin said. Martin said people can detect unlicensed clothing by the quality of the clothing and the logos it bears. She also said licensed merchandise bears a hologram label that asserts its authenticity. Martin said vendors without CLC licenses often do not know they are violating the law. “We’ve had people on campus selling something illegal but were truly unaware [of it],� Martin said. Martin said the University asks those who are unaware of the licensing requirements to put their merchandise away, and for those who are conscious of being unlicensed, the University pulls their product. “It’s all done on a case by case basis,� Martin said. “You just don’t know what you’re going to see.� Zachary McCann, a freshman majoring in New College, said the vendors who sell unlicensed merchandise should incur a different punishment. “They should be forced to give us all T-shirts,� he said.

protect both the students and recording artists, some students disagree. “Artists and filmmakers do not make the majority of their money from CD sales and DVD sales,� Josh Aikens, a junior majoring in civil engineering, said. “The majority of their money comes from concerts and ticket sales. They shouldn’t have to worry about us illegally downloading their music because we’re not taking a significant amount out of their paychecks.� However, Emily Simpson, a sophomore majoring in psychology, agreed with Ewing and said the rules are there for a reason. “I don’t really know [the rules], but I know they’re really harsh,� she said. “If you’re caught file sharing, then you shouldn’t have access to the campus Internet.

The UAPD did offer advice for students facing a hit-andrun situation. “There is not a lot you can do about this type of accident unless you park in a remote section of a lot or in between concrete columns in the decks,� said assistant chief Lee Harris. “A lot of these collisions occur because the driver immediately starts to text or do something else with their phone as soon as they start up the car. “If you witness one car damage another and then drive off, try to get a photo of the departing car on your cell phone and if possible a tag number,� Harris said. “Then call UAPD immediately at 348-5454, report what you saw, give the last known direction of the suspect vehicle and then meet with an officer to give a written statement.�

on the network, and we actually shape that traffic so that no one consumes all the traffic at one time and it’s shared among all the users,� Ewing said. “So we’re not looking for specific traffic or specific types of traffic. We’re looking at all the traffic to make sure everybody is getting a fair shake on the network.� Ewing said most students who are file sharing don’t realize the extent of it, and that’s when serious problems arise. Programs like iTunes, BitTorrent, LimeWire and EDonkey automatically share downloaded files across the network. This gives countless people access to personal information that could endanger the user’s privacy, she added. “It’s not just the sharing of copyright material; you’ve opened up that machine to anyone on the Internet to take anything off of it that they want,� she said.

By Zoe Storey Contributing Writer Susan Parker, a UA alumna and a member of the Alabama Public Service Commission who is currently seeking reelection, will speak about being a woman in a political environment and working in an elected position in the Ferguson Center Ballroom at 7 p.m. Parker’s lecture is the third of four installments of the Women’s Political Initiative lecture series, co-hosted by the Student Government As s o c i at i o n , Wo m e n ’s Resource Center and the Honors College Assembly. “The most important part of the Women’s Political Initiative is to get women on campus interested in politics,� said Jessica Kuperberg, director of the Women’s Political Initiative. “We want the women on campus to see that there are

women involved in both elected positions and support positions.� Many people don’t realize that we have a fully function governing body at the University, Kuperberg said, and there are very few female senators compared to the number of males in the SGA. Kuperberg is a member of the SGA’s external affairs cabinet and has worked in conjunction with SGA Vice President of External Affairs Grant Cochran for the Women’s Political Initiative. Past speakers, Katie Boyd Britt and Natalie Davis, have worked in support positions and spoke about their involvement, Kuperberg said, though Parker is the first speaker in the lecture who holds an elected position. “Susan Parker is someone who has been elected and has gone through the politi-

cal process,� Kuperberg said. “We hope she will speak to the election process and how the election process is unique for women,� she said. Parker lost to Rep. Jeff Sessions for a Senate seat in 2002 after being the first woman in Alabama to be nominated. She was elected to Alabama Public Service Commission in 2006, according to her profile on the Public Service Commission website. “Susan Parker is a big upand-coming name in Alabama state politics,� Kuperberg said. “She does a job that not many people know much about and shows us that you can start in a position where you know you can make a different and work your way up.� The Women’s Political Initiative hopes to host another lecture in the spring with a nationally recognized political figure, Kuperberg said.

Transportation security should focus on real threats By Ben Friedman A few months ago, I was passing through an airport security line and saw a man who was likely of Arab descent being stopped for a “random” bag check. The check, of course, wasn’t random, and the woman behind me in line vocalized my thoughts as she muttered something to the effect of “that’s just a shame,” obviously referring to the security agent’s blatant use of racial profiling. Though my hyper-politicallycorrect subconscious immediately jumped in and agreed with her, the more I thought about racial profiling, the more I came to a different conclusion: some degree of racial profiling, as it relates to transportation security in the 21st century, is not only acceptable, but necessary. We don’t have the resources to search everybody who passes through security, and it would be unsafe to search nobody. When deciding whom we should search more often, it makes the most sense to search those who fit a rough profile of a demographic associated with past security problems. We do it all the time in other areas. Take narcotics police, for example. Narcotics officers will concentrate their bodies in neighborhoods where drug problems have occurred in the past, but they often have no one at all in typically drug-free environments. In no way does that mean that every person in that neighborhood is involved in the exchange of illicit drugs. Chances are, 99 out of every 100 people in that neighborhood are innocent. But if there have been several drug arrests in an area, should we not station more police there than in a neighborhood that has never produced a single drug arrest? Policing safer neighborhoods equally for the sake of making everything look even is utter foolishness.

Another example is car insurance. Sixteen- and seventeenyear-old drivers (male drivers with red cars, especially) will pay significantly more car insurance than anyone else simply because their demographic has produced a disproportionate quantity of accidents. Your average 16- or 17-year-old driver has probably never caused an accident, yet he or she will still pay more insurance. We don’t see them clamoring over demographic profiling. This is all a moot point if the numbers show that the Arab demographic is no more likely to cause transportation terror than a different demographic, but sadly the numbers say otherwise. A 2005 Pew Research survey that aimed to highlight declining support of terrorism in the Muslim world showed that only six percent of British Muslims “fully supported” the 7/7 bombings in the London Underground. That sounds like a minority, and indeed it is. However, there are 2.4 million Muslims in Britain; that six percent statistic means 144,000 British Muslims are in complete support of vicious bombings in their home country. More recently, a 2009 World Public Opinion survey found that 44 percent of all Egyptians, 27 percent of all Moroccans and 25 percent of all Pakistanis had “positive feelings” (“mixed feelings” was a survey option, too) toward Osama Bin Laden. That represents 36.5 million Egyptians, 8.6 million Moroccans, and more than 42 million Pakistanis who identified themselves as having positive feelings, just one year ago, to the orchestrator of the 9/11 attacks. The numbers don’t lie. Mere positive feelings toward a given leader typically wouldn’t be enough to insinuate that the surveyed group also supports attacking Americans, except for the

fact that upon being asked, in the exact same survey, their feelings towards “terrorist groups that attack Americans,” Egyptians and Pakistanis both had 30 percent of their constituents identify themselves as “very supportive”. That’s 23.7 million Egyptians and 51 million Pakistanis who have no qualms about terrorist attacks on the U.S. Though most of these same individuals might never carry out an attack themselves, 51 million is a massive number that needs to be dealt with when addressing our transportation security process. Certain other leading surveys poll Muslim opinions on terror so I’ll make two reservations. First, Islam is, at its core, a peaceful religion. This is not to say, though, that it’s not perverted for violent means more than any major world other religion today. Secondly, there is a difference between Arab, an ethnic classification, and Muslim, a religious classification. To discount any statistics, though, simply because an extremely small majority of Muslims are Caucasian would be unwise. Anyone has the potential to cause terror (think Timothy McVeigh), yet the hard stats, as politically correct as we’d like to be, remind us that history has given us a legitimate reason to profile. We should never perform gross, intrusive, or embarrassing searches, yet we should feel justified, based on prior history and current statistics, to employ profiling techniques that count race as a factor. While understanding that we can barely mention the word “race” without being labeled a racist, we should racially profile in the name of safety, while at the same time being respectful towards those we search.

Three games into his season, Mark Ingram is appearing to be in prime Heisman form. Totaling 355 yards and six touchdowns, it would be hard for anyone to doubt the defending recipient of the prestigious award. He is not battling Toby Gerhart, defensive juggernaut Ndamukong Suh, or, despite how much Florida may try to resurrect him through the jump pass, Tim Tebow. Instead, he is battling a slew of young or new standouts and competition from his own backfield. This year will be an uphill battle for Ingram, and he has many different obstacles to overcome. As blasphemous as it may sound, Cam Newton has a better chance of winning the Heisman than Mark Ingram. The first obstacle lies in his very own backfield. Trent Richardson was a standout player last year who would come in to provide a little spark when Ingram needed a rest. This year, he is being used as the X-factor in a one-two punch combination and carries the ball just as much as Ingram, even outperforming Ingram on Saturday. Whether you want to refer to them as Thunder and Thunder, The Two-Headed Monster, The Fast and Furious, or, the ridiculously redundant termCBS coined, Meat and Potatoes, one thing is for certain: There are two Heisman-quality running backs in the backfield, and it would be idiotic to not utilize one for the other’s fortune. The second obstacle lies in his very own offense. Alabama is not the team of old. They are not the team under Brodie Croyle, John Parker Wilson, or (prepare to cringe) Spencer Pennington. This is a team that arguably has the best running backs in the nation but also has - without argument - the best balance in the nation. Greg McElroy is by no means the most athletic, precise, or dominating quarterback, but he is best in the aspect that is often overlooked. He is the best game manager in college football. While managing the game requires allowing the run to take place, Alabama has the tools to go five wide, play-action, and utilize their wide receivers as quarterbacks. The offense is built for balance, not individual excellence. Lastly, the final obstacle is out of his control. Playmakers are seemingly appearing from everywhere this football year. Of course, names like Terrell Pryor, Kellen Moore and Ryan Mallett were supposed to be in the mix. Who would have thought that little Denard ‘Shoelace’ Robinson would go for around 1,000 yards passing and rushing through the first five games? That is three times the rushing yards of Mark Ingram for a quarterback, and, with the soft Big Ten schedule that lies ahead of Michigan, one can expect more of the same. Who would have thought that the laptop-stealing Cam Newton would steal as many yards through the air and on the ground as he has through the beginning of this season? He is at least ninety percent of their offense. Auburn has only two seemingly tough games before coming to Tuscaloosa, and they are both in Jordan-Hare. Auburn has the chance to be, dare I say, undefeated coming into Tuscaloosa behind the arm and legs of a Heisman contender. The Heisman is given to the ‘outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.’ Mark Ingram is the best athlete in the country. He plays for the best coach in the country, in front of the best fans in the country, and on the best team in the country. However, to be the most outstanding college football player, one’s best has to be noticeably better than what is around them. Denard Robinson is noticeably better than what is around him and is the reason his team wins. It is the same with Cam Newton, Ryan Mallett and Terrell Pryor. You had a good run, Ingram, but I am sure that I, along with rest of the Alabama faithful, would rather see number fourteen than number two.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sororities should apply for seating By Lucie Enns This football season, I have felt the wrath of being a single girl in the greek community. By single, I am implying that I am not just some frat daddy’s slampiece (thank you, TFM), but I am, in fact, truly single. I am so single that I have yet to be asked to a football game. Normally this would not bother me, but with student organization seating being so restrictive this year, I have personally felt shunned. Maybe I am not the cutest girl around. However, I do have a great personality, and I am actually fun to be with. While these are my personal opinions, it seems that no boys share these thoughts. So where does this leave me? Single—and I mean dateless— on game days. Many of you may not understand how it feels to be single and excluded on game days. Perhaps you sit in the student

seating section. Perhaps you have a boyfriend in a fraternity. Perhaps you are just cool enough to get asked to a game. Or perhaps you are a member of a fraternity and you have reserved seats. For the sorority members who seem to be unable to get game dates, seating is a huge problem. If you are lucky enough to score a wristband to a fraternity section, good for you. I admire your charm. I have not been so blessed, though. Instead, I find myself pondering where I am going to sit for games and worrying if I am going to be asked to leave a section because I am not “with anyone.” The polite Southern gentleman stereotype does not seem to be in effect on these sacred game days. If the greek student

organization seating is going to continue be so exclusive, and if it’s still going to remain greek, I must find some way to enjoy the football games as a part of it. Student organization seating (aside from the Honors College Assembly section) is becoming more and more sexist. Males are entitled to sit in a certain section with the pretty girl of their choice. However, I am just as good as the majority of these fraternity members, and I pay my dues just as they do. I deserve to be able to view the game from the exact same place that they see it. You might think that this is just a rant about being single. That is far from the truth. I am actually ranting about the way student organization seating works. If fraternities are going to continue to

leave certain greek girls out just because they are dateless, then I propose sororities apply to have their own sections. We deserve to be able to comfortably watch the game in the student organization section just as much as any male does. I am hoping to see a change in the way that student organization seating works. It is not fair to leave some of us out of it just because we don’t have game dates. Date-less sorority members unite, and let’s find a way to enjoy the games as much as our dated counterparts do.

Governing requires morals By Phillip Bishop

nor” rest without a response. Mr. Thompson protests that, “…when people who run for office are so connected with their church that they will legislate their morality onto others, I have problems”. In government of any type, someone must decide what the governed “ought to do.” As soon as that word “ought” appears, morality ensues. As a political science major, surely Paul recognizes that all legislation legislates somebody’s morality! Whether it’s cannabis, lotteries, health care or speeding that is legislated, the results will reflect the underlying morals of those voting on, or imposing, that law. Even budget priorities will reflect someone’s morals. Like Mr. Thompson, I don’t have high hopes for the new governor, but whoever gets elected will surely govern from their own moral basis, whether it be obvious or not.

Students learn Tuscaloosa named top 100 city for young people risks of driving By Jennie Kushner Senior Staff Reporter jfkushner@bama.ua.edu

Tuscaloosa can now boast being named one of the nation’s 100 best communities for young people. A m e r i c a ’s Promise Alliance, the nation’s largest partnership organization dedicated to children, recognized Tuscaloosa County, along with other winners, Sept. 21 in Washington D.C.. “Being named a Top 100 in anything is great for Tuscaloosa, but being recognized with this honor goes to the many fine community service organizations and people that contribute to our young people, which means we are investing in our future,� said Robert Ratliff, executive director of Visit Tuscaloosa.

in full effect. Reynolds said it all began when they realized how perfect their house was for parties. “It was me and my roommate Chris Cousins behind all the partying,� he said. “We just realized we had an awesome house. It’s perfect. There are big doorways, a huge dining room and den. It pretty much said ‘party in me’ when we came in. I couldn’t help but listen.� Reynolds said at the time there were six guys living in the house, and the rent was $1600 a month. They thought a party would be a fun way to try to pay the bills. An accounting student at the time, Reynolds said he used those skills to work out how much to pay for bands and how many kegs to get depending on how many people would show up. “For that very first party we took $100 from all six of us and we had our first party,� Reynolds said. “We had three kegs at the party and at the time those were $82.50 each and then we used our connections for the bands. We ended up making $1,000 that night so we all got our $100 back, then we had a little lock box that we kept the extra money in. It was our house money, our party

The Alliance recognizes communities that make youth a priority by including programs that help children stay in school and help prepare them for life after high school, according to their website. Charles Nash, UA system vice chancellor for academic and student affairs and cochair of Tuscaloosa’s Promise, said Tuscaloosa received the award because of its positive aspects for the youth. “I am thrilled that our greater Tuscaloosa community has been recognized as a good, and getting better, place for young people,� he said. Tuscaloosa County High School offers a service-learning course that pairs social studies and English with community volunteerism, according to the county’s website. Nash said this award conmoney.� Reynolds said after that the parties were overall very successful. “This is my grandiose story,� Reynolds said. “Our most successful party was the A-day game a year and a half ago. That weekend we had 300 people pay us five dollars a head, we floated seven kegs and three bands played at our house. There was nothing else that was close to that.� Reynolds said a few crazy things did happen as a result of the parties. After a conflict with two different groups of boys at one of the parties, a van of boys came back to Reynolds’ house to fight with the other group, he said. “They ended up making plans to come back to our house and meet up for a fight,� Reynolds said. “This was probably by 4 or 4:30 in the morning. They came back looking for them, and they ended up kicking in the door and punching one of our roommates in the nose thinking it was one of the other guys. He needed like three stitches. We added some more locks to the doors after that. That was our scary story. That was freaky to me.� Reynolds said he and his roommates did a lot of worstcase scenario planning. “You have to remember to not have anything whatsoever in the house,� Reynolds said. “You can’t have those unmen-

tributes to excellences of the county. “This recognition acknowledges that our community is moving in the right direction and that we are engaged in significant ways to be keepers of the five Promises that each community should make to its children: a healthy start, a safe place after school hours, a quality education, a caring adult and an opportunity to give back to the community,� Nash said. “I sincerely thank all who are working to ensure these outcomes for our children,� he added. Some UA students said they thought the award is appropriate. Joseph Fender, a freshman majoring in business, said he’s enjoyed the Tuscaloosa life since moving here.

“This award is fitting because Tuscaloosa is a true college town,� he said. “I like how the town takes an active roll in the University.� Cara Krauser, an advertising major, said Tuscaloosa is a great place for everyone. “Tuscaloosa has a lot to offer a person,� she said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a college student or if you have a family. Tuscaloosa has something for everyone.� Chip Zay, a senior majoring in marketing and management, said he thinks Tuscaloosa deserves more credit. “It’s not really that surprising that Tuscaloosa won this award,� he said. “Tuscaloosa is really underrated as a city. There is a lot more here than people realize.�

tionables. You have to think what could possibly happen. It’s not what will happen but what could happen.� As a result, Reynolds said the Reed Street parties made an effort to hire a bouncer and eventually a security guard to check IDs. They also put tarps up over the windows. “We encouraged responsibility,� Reynolds said. Reynolds had some advice for those who are thinking about throwing big parties at their houses. “First of all, if you’re going to break a law, don’t break more than one at a time,� Reynolds said. “Usually it’s the combination of two things, don’t break more than one at a time.� He said, keep in mind that everyone can see you. A house party is loud and it looks like a crazy party no matter what. Thirdly, get to know your neighbors because those are going to be the people that make the complaints.

“I would say one of the biggest reasons we had so much success is because we had a band no matter what and we paid every band that played,� Reynolds said. “We had bands like the National Trust, Bangtail Cats, Model Citizen and more.� Robyn Hill, a senior majoring in communicative disorders, went to her first house party just the other night, she said. “I had never been to a big house party before,� Hill said. “I thought it was a great environment. As long as everything is done with mind to laws and the safety of the people coming I think it’s a great, fun way to have a good time with friends on the weekend. I think every college student needs to experience one in their lifetime. It’s not what you would think. Whether you drink or not, whatever your scene may be, it’s just students getting together, celebrating football, being with friends and listening to good, live music.�

distractions By Ashanka Kumari Contributing Writer The Student Government Association, along with UA Transportation Services, will sponsor a Professionals Encouraging Educational Reform Statewide Texting and Driving Awareness Simulation in the Ferguson Center Plaza today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. P.E.E.R.S is a program that works through the use of creative material to provide information to today’s youth to help them make healthier life choices, their website states. SGA Vice President for Student Affairs Stephen Swinson said he approached the department of Transportation Services with the idea in an attempt to raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving. “It is my hope that our joint efforts to bring this simulator to campus will reduce the number of car accidents caused by distracted drivers,� Swinson said. At the event, students will be given the chance to operate a stationary car that will simulate a driver texting on their cell phone and the threats it poses. It will also simulate the other distractions, such as using MP3 players. According to peeraware-

ness.com, texting has been proven to endanger drivers up to eight times more than alcohol. Average teens today send about 2,899 texts per month, according to a recently published Nielsen study. “[Texting] does nothing but put the driver, other drivers on the road and pedestrians in great danger,� Swinson said. Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services Gina Johnson said students will have an opportunity to test themselves and see what their level of risk is by using the simulator. “I think it will give people a good idea of how dangerous it is to drive while texting or drive while putting on makeup and all other distractions we think we can risk,� Johnson said. Swinson said he feels it is extremely important for students to try out the simulator in order to better comprehend how dangerous it is to text while driving. “Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for youth 16-20 years of age,� he said. “We must make an effort to reduce this statistic.� For more information about the P.E.E.R.S program, along with other programs that also target healthy life choices, visit peerawareness.com.

FOOTBALL

Tide beats another top-10 opponent By Laura Owens Assistant Sports Editor crimsonwhitesports@gmail.com The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide answered the nation’s questions Saturday with its convincing 31-6 victory over the No. 7 Florida Gators in BryantDenny Stadium. Both teams came into the game unbeaten, but only Alabama stays perfect at 5-0, 2-0 in the Southeastern Conference. Now only three undefeated teams remain in the SEC. “I think we played more as a team today than we usually do,” said running back Mark Ingram. “We believe that when we’re on the same page and play with the intangibles that Alabama football is built on like discipline, toughness, execution, everybody being accountable of their job and everybody being supportive of their teammates, that we’re real tough to beat if we’re all on the same page.” Alabama started off with a solid 68-yard drive that resulted in a field goal. When Florida got the ball back, the Gators managed to march down to Alabama’s 2-yard line. On a fourth-and-goal, Florida quarterback Trey Burton threw a Tim Tebow-like jump pass over the heads of the defensive line. Instead of a touchdown, however, linebacker Nico Johnson snatched it up for an interception, giving Alabama a huge

momentum swing early in the game. “I think fourth and whatever, to get out of there with no points after they put together a really good job probably was a big momentum changer in the game,” head coach Nick Saban said. “That was a huge play in the game, especially early in the game.” Alabama started off the second quarter with Ingram’s fifth touchdown run of the season, and only minutes later, he ran in for his sixth. All the while, the Tide’s defense managed to keep Florida from driving. After defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick intercepted a pass from John Brantley, the Gators’ starting quarterback, Alabama threw some trickery into the game. Wide receiver Marquis Maze, who played quarterback some in high school, took the snap and threw the ball to tight end Mike Williams in the right corner of the end zone. Florida managed one field goal, an attempt from 39 yards out, and so the halftime score was 24-3, the same halftime score as in 2005 when Florida was in Tuscaloosa last. In the second half, Florida received the ball first to tack on another three points with a 21-yard field goal attempt. But that was all the scoring Florida would do. The Gators gave up two more turnovers in the second half: one interception to C.J.

today. We started fast in the game, and that was good.” On the defensive side, Courtney Upshaw led the way in tackles for a loss with four. In total tackles, he had seven, while Mark Barron led the board with 11. Barron had the only sack of the game too, for a loss of 8 yards. Next week, the Tide travels to Columbia, S.C., to take on the No. 20 South Carolina

Gamecocks for another big SEC road test. Ingram said the Florida game will give the team momentum going back on the road. “I think it helps definitely because we should be proud of the way we played today,” he said. “We beat a great team in Florida out there today, but we still have lots of room for improvement in all aspects of our game.”

POSITION GRADES

BY THE NUMBERS

Offense: 3.5 Cumulative: 3.68

Defense: 3.9 Cumulative: 3.56

The offense scored on its first four possessions on its way to a 24-3 lead but did not put up a single point after that. The only other touchdown was an interception return by C.J. Mosley. A lack of explosive plays and letting off the gas after gaining a big lead dropped the unit half a letter grade.

For how much scrutiny Alabama’s defense has been under this season, it still has only allowed three touchdowns through five games. Although Florida marched down to the 1-yard line without any points twice Saturday, the Tide still had to force those turnovers, something it has done the entire season.

Special teams: 3.6 Cumulative: 3.64

Coaching: 4.0 Cumulative: 3.9

Punter Cody Mandell gave Florida its first field goal after an awful 26-yard punt deep in his own territory, but made up for it by pinning the Gators back on their own 2 later in the game. Julio Jones also allowed a punt to go over his head and settle at the Tide 2-yard line, giving up 25-30 yards of field position on the misjudgment.

Like usual, Alabama’s game plan was built to perfection. It was a great call by Kirby Smart to recognize the jump pass on Florida’s first drive on the goal line, and although the offense struggled a bit, the play calling was far from the reason. The players also looked more motivated than they have all season.

FOOTBALL COLUMN

What has luck got to do with turnovers? By Laura Owens Assistant Sports Editor crimsonwhitesports@gmail.com

Being lucky has nothing to do with it. The defense is just… good. The past two games, Alabama’s defense has managed to force turnovers in the most critical times. In Arkansas, two timely picks off Ryan Mallett sealed the game in the fourth quarter, and against Florida, two goalline turnovers, not to mention a pick six, saved the Tide more points. By the numbers, Alabama’s opponents have scored touchdowns 20 percent of the times they have been in the red zone this year. Overall scoring percentage against the Tide’s red zone defense is 70, meaning 50 percent of the time, the other team is forced to kick a field goal, and 30 percent, the other team just doesn’t get anything. If a team makes it into the red zone and their best chance of scoring against the Tide is by kicking a field goal, that’s saying a lot about the defense’s ability. With this touchdown percentage, Alabama is second in the nation, only behind head coach Nick Saban’s alma mater, Kent State. These numbers don’t include the Florida game, but if they did, it’s possible Alabama could jump to the No. 1 spot. Speaking of the Florida game, the first turnover came when Nico Johnson intercepted Trey Burton’s pass in the end zone. I use the term “pass” flexibly, because I really don’t consider that Tim Tebow jump shot a real pass. But regardless, Johnson did intercept it. That ball didn’t happen to fall into his hands at the right moment. He was ready for it. The defense was ready for the jump pass, and they stopped it, along with the drive, in the most effective way.

maturing – we’re working hard and just gelling together. We haven’t played our best game yet, but we’re still working at it.” The Gators actually outgained the Tide in the game, 281-273, but that was perhaps more of an underachievement by Alabama’s offensive unit. And like it has all year, the Tide’s defense came up with opportunistic turnovers in key situations. Alabama, who ranks second in the Southeastern Conference with 11 interceptions, forced two turnovers when the Gators were inside the Alabama 2-yard line. Sophomore linebacker Nico Johnson intercepted a pass on fourth-and-goal on Florida’s first drive of the game, and Courtney Upshaw recovered a fumble near the goal line in the third quarter. “A lot of times, turnovers save us,” junior safety Mark Barron said. “I feel like that’s playing a big role in our defense playing as well as we are.” Sophomore cornerback

Saban said after the game that the interception was a huge momentum swing, and of course it was. It set the tone early in the game, letting Florida’s offense know early who was in control. Before the game Saturday, Florida was averaging 37.8 points per game, and Alabama held the Gators to only six. That’s definitely controlling the game. Now let’s look at Arkansas. Sure, Ryan Mallett threw the pass Robert Lester intercepted off his back foot. That was more his mistake than our skill in getting the ball. However, the difference maker in that situation was the fact that it was late in the fourth quarter when that happened. Mallett was tired from a long game, most likely. He was tired enough to make those mental errors a quarterback can make to lose the game. Lester wasn’t tired enough to capitalize on those opportunities, though. And then when Mallett tried to throw it away, was he too tired to see Dre Kirkpatrick there, close enough to make another pick? Perhaps. But Kirkpatrick saw the opportunity and also capitalized. This isn’t just pure luck. This is making your own luck, and that’s really attributing the defense’s skill and condition. Late in the fourth quarter, they can wear down the other team enough to force those plays. The defense was the biggest question coming into this season, but hopefully, after dominating the No. 7 Gators, the question has an answer. No more wondering if this defense can keep up with last year’s amazing group. Yes, they’re different players, and perhaps they aren’t exactly like the 2009 defense. But the 2010 defense holds its own place, and the rest of the opponents this year should be worried. Dre Kirkpatrick and freshman linebacker C.J. Mosley also had interceptions in the game. Mosley returned his for a 35-yard touchdown to put the Tide up 31-6. Head coach Nick Saban said after Saturday’s game that a big emphasis has been placed on creating turnovers this season. “It’s something that we have emphasized tremendously with this group in terms of the turnover drills that we do,” Saban said. “Every time the ball hits the ground, they have to pick it up and run with it. So, there’s a lot of conscious effort going into trying to make and get turnovers. That’s the one thing that probably has the biggest affect on the outcome of the game as anything.” Ever since last season ended, the Tide has been bombarded with doubts about the ability to repeat as national champions with nine new starters on defense. The first half of Alabama’s game against Arkansas last week seemed to validate those doubts, but the Tide defense has forced six turnovers and given up just nine points in the

three quarters since. “We hear it every week,” sophomore linebacker Dont’a Hightower said. “Especially going against Arkansas, people were saying that we lost nine starters, and Mallett’s going to come in and pick on our corners. He tried to in the first half, but in the second half, young guys like Robert Lester and Dre Kirkpatrick came up with bigtime picks.” Junior running back Mark Ingram said, “Just because we lost nine players doesn’t mean that they’re not a great defense. I believe they’ve been playing with a chip on their shoulder. I’ve had the utmost confidence in them. They have great athletes, playmakers.” Two of the Tide’s biggest tests are now out of the way, and Alabama remains undefeated. The Tide has only given up three touchdowns through five games, and Hightower said he only expects improvement from here on out. “I feel like our defense is as good as it was last year,” he said. “It was just a matter of time before everybody started clicking.”

Draper named Miss Sorority Row By SoRelle Wyckoff Contributing Writer

Friday night at the Bama Theatre, the crowd was buzzing. Girls sat with their sororities, many carrying signs of support for their representative in the third annual Miss Sorority Row pageant. First place went to Sandy Draper of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, first runner-up went to Delta Delta Delta’s Courtney Parker, and second runner-up went to Zeta Tau Alpha’s Hart Hoeffner. Sixteen girls took the stage in hopes of being named Miss Sorority Row and winning money for their selected philanthropy. The girls competed in events including game-day wear, talent and evening wear. The theme of the night was “On a Mission to Become Miss Sorority Row� and began with

the girls making their entrance to the theme of James Bond. The pageant raised money for the American Red Cross, as well as the winning contestant’s philanthropy. Delta Sigma Phi fraternity members sat backstage helping out and moving the show along. “We’ve been working on this for seven months,� said Kenny Fowler, a junior majoring in accounting. “I didn’t know how much work it would be.� Fowler said he was thankful Meschelle Stringer volunteered to be pageant coordinator. She has been doing pageants since she was 17 and was recently crowned Miss Tuscaloosa. “She’s been helping us with everything, from finding judges to the layout of the pageant,� Fowler said. Tammy Jones, a former pageant queen, served as the emcee. Jones was a judge at

last year’s pageant. “These boys put on a great pageant,� Jones told the audience, “I’m so glad I get to be a part of this.� Rushing off stage, the girls begin to prepare for the game day wear portion. Dressed in houndstooth and red, they lined up in their spots. Some were even in their cheer and Crimsonette outfits. The competitors compliment each other, saying “you look so cute� and “I love your dress� before they take the stage. After shaking their pom poms and walking across the stage, the girls run back to the changing rooms in preparation for the talent portion. In between sets, Collin Maxwell entertained the audience by playing acoustic versions of songs like “Slide� by the Goo Goo Dolls and “Ride Wit Me� by Nelly. The crowd

sang along while the girls prepared backstage. “I love watching people dance,� said Christina Garrison, who represented Alpha Phi, of watching the other girls perform their talents. Many of the girls sang or danced, but there was also baton twirling and piano playing in the talent portion as well. As the show progressed to the evening wear portion, many of the girls expressed their nerves for this part of the show. While the girls prepared to take the stage, Stringer fluffed their dresses and helped fix their hair. “We couldn’t do this show without [Stringer],� Fowler said. The evening wear is the most important part of the competition, Fowler said. “This determines which

After finishing all portions of competition, the girls waited backstage before finding out who won. They arranged themselves in a semicircle onstage as the winners were announced. “Yea, Alabama� played in the theater as the girls congratulated the winning contestants, and audience members went on stage, taking pictures and hugging their friends. “In the end, it’s all for fun,� Fowler said. “The show’s gotta go on — and it did.�

REVIEW | FILM

‘The Social Network’ is one movie to ‘like’ By Sean Randall If you’re a college student, chances are you’ve gotten on Facebook at least once today. If you don’t have a Facebook, congratulations. You and four other people have resisted a very popular growing trend. But how did that trend even start? That’s what director David Fincher’s new movie “The Social Network� aims to uncover. Fincher (“Fight Club,� “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button�), along with writer Aaron Sorkin (“The West Wing�), takes the story of former Harvard student, Facebook’s creator and the world’s youngest billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, as told by fellow Harvard attendee Ben Mezrich in his book “The Accidental Billionaires.� The movie opens with a simple collegiate atmosphere. Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and his girlfriend Erica Albright

(Rooney Mara) are at a bar. Eisenberg immediately lays out the type of character Zuckerberg will be in this film: socially awkward, somewhat tactless, yet still desperately seeking the approval of others. And when he loses the approval of his girlfriend, who within 10 minutes becomes his ex, Zuckerberg decides, in a bit of a drunken stupor, to lambast her on LiveJournal (remember that?) and create Facemash. com, a website where people judge women’s attractiveness by comparing them to each other. When Facemash.com goes viral and crashes the Harvard servers, Zuckerberg becomes an overnight celebrity. Somewhere around this point, the movie stops going in the direction of typical, chronological story-telling and the pace picks up to a near frenzy as it is revealed that Zuckerberg is actually facing two different depositions about Facebook and being brought up on charges by

the very people he once called colleagues and friends. This pace, a rapid-fire trip through three different events, creates this mesmerizing atmosphere that is almost certain to draw the audience in. There’s not a dull moment in the entire film. Even when it seems there might be, composers Trent Reznor, of Nine Inch Nails, and Atticus Ross, a producer for Nine Inch Nails, come to the rescue and combine a compelling soundtrack with intense camera work to keep the audience drawn in. Sorkin’s writing takes what could easily have been a dull story and creates humorous moments to break up the drama. The Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer Jr. and Josh Pence) deliver some of the best comic scenes I’ve seen in a long time. The acting stands solidly as well. There are several familiar faces throughout the movie, but perhaps the most surpris-

ing and pleasing performance regrets for those involved. One thing you probably won’t comes from Justin Timberlake, who plays Napster founder and regret?

The Crimson White

ComicKaze serves up laughs By Stephanie Brumfield Staff Reporter snbrumfield@crimson.ua.edu Those in need of a mid-week laugh and a break from studying for mid-terms can go to Little Willie’s Tuesday night at 9 p.m. and join the stand-up comedians of ComicKaze. The ComicKaze comedians, whose shows first began in Birmingham, have been traveling to Tuscaloosa for about two and a half years, said Mario Carreras, emcee of the Tuscaloosa ComicKaze shows. “We wanted to hit a college audience and do our routines

for younger people more similar to ourselves,” he said. “We also wanted to build the Tuscaloosa comedy scene like we helped in building the Birmingham comedy scene. Lately, a lot more Tuscaloosa comedians have been coming out, which is great.” Nathan Trapp, a senior majoring in anthropology, is one of these local comedians. He heard about the ComicKaze open-mic nights while listening to the radio and decided to join shortly thereafter, in January. He has been performing routines with them ever since. “It sounded like a cool thing

IF YOU GO ... • What: Comickaze • Where: Little Willie’s • When: Tuesday at 9 p.m.

• Cost: Free to do. I’m usually a shy person, but being in front of an audience somehow makes it easier,” he said. “It’s great when you get a laugh.”

Other comedians, like Martin Morrow, performed at the Birmingham ComicKaze shows before coming to Tuscaloosa. Morrow has been doing comedy for about four years and has also performed in Auburn, Atlanta and New York. “I’ve always been the funny friend, the one that cracks jokes to get out of awkward situations,” Morrow said. “When Mario told me about his idea to bring ComicKaze to Tuscaloosa, I jumped on the bandwagon, and it’s been great. There’s something different about the Tuscaloosa crowd that’s not typical of college

crowds. It’s always big, and it’s always fun.” Most of Morrow’s comedy routines are about his experience in Alabama, an idea he came up with while he was in New York. “New Yorkers don’t want to hear about life in New York. They want to hear about where you’re from, so I talked about being from Alabama,” he said. He also incorporates his love for comics, movies and music into his routines, and they usually involve the interactions between people. Last month, for instance, Morrow was the referee for

the ComicKaze face-off, where comics would insult each other by coming up with jokes on the spot, he said. Whoever “cracked” by looking away or laughing would lose the face-off. “I like to get a laugh out of everything,” he said. For a fun night full of laughter-inducing jokes, the comedians of ComicKaze say that Little Willie’s is the place to be on Tuesday night. Anyone interested in participating in future shows is encouraged to see emcee Mario Carreras before or after the show. The event starts at 9 p.m. and is free to attend.

Discovery Series offers eclectic classes By Brooke Marshall Contributing Writer Students can learn certain skills they may not find in regular college classes by participating in the Discovery Series at the Ferguson Center. The Discovery Series offers several non-credit, inexpensive classes for students, faculty and members of the Tuscaloosa community. Classes include dance, guitar lessons, dog training, social networking and floral design. Some classes last as long as six weeks, while others are a few hours. They usually meet one day a week and cost between $5 and $30 for students. “We try to make them as reduced-rate as possible for students,” said Kelli KnoxHall, senior assistant director for the Ferguson Center. She said the classes are really popular with students because they don’t require a lot of time. “It’s a great opportunity to meet other students and faculty and staff that sign up for

the class,” Knox-Hall said. The atmosphere is casual, which helps the participants interact, she said. It’s something that can help the participants build hobbies and skills they can maintain throughout their lives, she said. The Discovery Series offers classes during the fall and spring semesters. Though the schedule of classes changes each semester, the popular classes are often repeated, Knox-Hall said. Toure Pruitt, a junior majoring in nutrition, is the coordinator of the Discovery Series program. “[This job] is a good way for me to grow socially and get some kind of experience in the business world,” Pruitt said. “I’ve learned a lot working with the Discovery Series.” Pruitt said the classes are a great opportunity for students to expand their knowledge and meet new people that share the same hobbies. The beginning guitar class teaches student to play basic chords, how to buy a guitar, how to tune a guitar and how

to play simple songs with friends, he said. The Discovery Series allows students to learn things they wouldn’t normally learn in the classroom, Pruitt said. Kim Romain, who has taught dog training classes for 15 years, teaches two classes; a dog obedience class and a dog agility class. The obedience class will teach participants and their dogs the basic commands and behavioral problems, as well as give them the opportunity to meet new people, Romain said. The agility class will be an introduction to the obstacles. It will teach the dog to go across and through the obstacles for those interested in competition. “I hope that the dogs become

better trained so that they can kind of be a part of a family and a community instead of just sitting in the backyard,” Romain said. “Both of [the classes] are a good way to bond with your dog and get them out and teach them some manners.” The dance classes are onenight crash courses with instructor Eric Bolton, who has been with the Discovery Series since its beginning, Knox-Hall said. “We keep bringing him back to teach more about what he knows, and that’s been real successful,” Knox-Hall said. Classes in the Discovery Series have already begun. Space is limited, Pruitt said. For more information about the Discovery Series, visit the Ferguson Center’s website ferguson.ua.edu.
