Making history Senior Molly Atherton hopes to lead the Crimson Tide to the postseason, beyond

By Caroline Gazzara | Staff Reporter With a swift kick, Senior midfielder Molly Atherton scored the game-winning goal against then-No. 20 Georgia, cementing Alabama as a threat to the rest of the SEC this season. When the ball hit the back of the net in overtime, it sealed the first road victory of the season for the Crimson Tide, and Atherton made it happen. If Atherton had to describe her soccer career in one word, she would say it was unforgettable.

Hailing from Gulfport, Miss., Atherton said she knew she belonged at Alabama after her first campus visit; however, she committed to the Crimson Tide because she believed in a dream to make history.

“I think the big thing that always sticks with me is that I could make history here and really be able to turn this program around, which was pretty much a selling point for me, and I think that’s ultimately why I chose to come here,” Atherton said. “I wanted to be a part of something big. While we may have not seen all the success we have wanted to see these past four years, the change of culture is a tremendous difference.”

Alabama hasn’t made the postseason since the 2011-12 season – the only time in her career Alabama made it that far. But she could make history again this week as she and the team get ready to face Auburn in a game with a simple outcome: The winner goes to the SEC tournament, and the loser’s season is over.

Before joining the Crimson Tide, Atherton started out playing anything and everything she could get her hands on, whether it was soccer, softball, tennis or even board games. Atherton’s father, John Atherton, said she was very active throughout her childhood, but around the age of 11, she realized that soccer was her passion.

Sororities deny lawsuit involvement Despite sorority withdrawal, fraternities, student continue

Following the withdrawal of several sororities from an official motion to intervene in the upcoming Board of Education election contest, two fraternities and a student have continued with the motion.

The University of Alabama chapters of Kappa Delta, Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha Omicron Pi withdrew after filing with local attorney Robert Prince last week. Prince officially amended the motion Tuesday.

Kappa Delta headquarters said in an emailed statement Tuesday that they did not approve the local chapter’s involvement in the motion.

“Kappa Delta does not seek to intervene in Horwitz v. Kirby and did not authorize the Motion To Intervene filed by

I was surprised that the National Chapter heads didn’t support their local members.

— Robert Prince attorney Robert Prince,” the statement read. “Kappa Delta has contacted Mr. Prince to correct the improper listing of Kappa Delta as a potential intervenor.”

This statement coincides with similar statements released by the headquarters of Alpha Omicron Pi and Zeta Tau Alpha Monday, stating they did not approve the hiring of legal representation as the sororities are not parties in the lawsuit.

In an emailed statement, Zeta Tau Alpha national president Keeley McDonald Riddle denied the involvement of the

sorority in both the lawsuit and the motion to intervene.

“Zeta Tau Alpha has not been named as a party in any of these lawsuits, and therefore, we have not hired legal representation locally or nationally,” Riddle said.

Price said the sororities’ headquarters told him he did not have the authority to list the sororities in the motion and that they wished to be removed from the document. He said the sororities were originally named “purely in an attempt to protect the identities of the individual student voters.”

“I was surprised that the National Chapter heads didn’t support their local members,” Prince said in an emailed statement. “After all, the sororities and their members had already been mentioned by the plaintiff in public filings in the vein of cheating, taking bribes, etc.”

WEATHER

While buildings begin to fill the lots demolished by the April 27, 2011, tornadoes, many wonder what the storm’s lasting impact on Tuscaloosa will look like. It takes more than a city planner to sketch the psychological toll of the tornadoes.

Led by John Lochman, a clinical psychology professor, and Nicole Powell, a research psychologist; a team observed the impact of the trauma on children’s functioning and behavior in the 90 days immediately following the natural disaster.

“There were some surprising

for this improvement in functioning postdisaster is the flow of resources into the area, both physical, like food, water and clothes, and emotional care and support.

The project grew from a previous study, which explored the impact of different types of interventions, either in a group or individually, on the behavior of at-risk elementary students.

At-risk elementary students are those who display signs suggesting they may not adjust well in middle school.

In April 2011, Lochman’s team had preassessed three groups of children, given interventions to two groups and was about to intervene with the third group when the tornado hit. They are still analyzing the results of that study but have

findings that emerged there,” Lochman said. “So in general, across the entire sample, according to both teacher and parent ratings, the children initially had fewer internalizing problems, so they were less depressed, less anxious, and according to teacher reports, they were also having fewer acting-out problems, fewer externalizing problems.”

He also said there proved to be positive effects for parents as well.

“And from the parents, they were reporting that they were having less caregiver strain, so they were less distressed by having to take care of their children, and they were actually more consistent in how they handled discipline, which was a good thing,” Lochman said.

He said it has been speculated in the psychological literature that the reason

Atherton has played 6,288 minutes throughout career SOCCER FROM PAGE 1

“Around some point, at like 11, Molly decided that soccer was her sport,” John Atherton said. “She started playing travel soccer around age 10 or 11 and always played above her age. Later on, around 17, she dropped back down to play in her own age group to play club soccer. We think that helped her a great deal, because she had to play stronger, faster to draw attention to herself.”

Alabama coach Todd Bramble said with Molly’s passion for the game, recruiting her was simple.

“When I was able to evaluate her, I wasn’t necessarily evaluating her against players in Mississippi. I was evaluating her against other players who I knew to be some of the best players in the Southeast,” Bramble said. “The fact that she could hold her own, in that group, told me a lot about her as a player and what her potential would be.”

Atherton, though, has not forgotten her hometown, sporting an otherwise seemingly arbitrary No. 56 jersey.

“I’ll never forget about [assistant coach] Jason [Lowe], though. He came up with my number 56,” she said. “We were talking one day - really close to the time I was about to come on campus - and we were thinking about what number I wanted to be because the number I had was stolen by someone.

And he was like, ‘What about 56?’ Because 228 is the area code for Gulfport, and 2x28 is 56, and we were kind of like, ‘I’ll always be representing my hometown.’”

Throughout her career, Atherton has seen the Crimson Tide both in success and failure. In her sophomore year, the midfielder helped the team get to the NCAA tournament in Miami, Fla., the first time

Alabama had made it since 1998.

To get there, Alabama needed a win against No. 1 South Carolina in the SEC tournament. Atherton had the only goal in a 1-0 Crimson Tide win.

“I’ll never forget that,” she said. “It was probably the one of the highlights of my career. And that ultimately gave us the bid to the NCAA tournament.”

Alabama lost to Miami 3-2 in double overtime that year in the NCAA tournament and has yet to return to the postseason. But that could change Thursday.

“Now, two years later, we have an unbelievable amount of talent,” Atherton said.

“We have way more talent than we did back then. To see now that we haven’t been as successful as we have wanted to be with as many talented players I think isn’t great obviously, but we’re seriously right there.

We’re right on the brink of the next level.”

Atherton officially made her mark on the record books this year, setting the record for shots in a career. She broke the previous record of 188 and currently has 196 and counting.

“I’m honored to be holding a record,” Atherton said. “Coming into a program, you want to make your mark and succeed in areas like that and be a record holder, but I think I’m not really going to remember breaking a record. What I’m going to remember is my teammates and all the other times surrounding that. I honestly wish my shots on goal was higher, but I’m happy to be held in high esteem with those in the record book.”

Atherton started in all but one game in the four years she’s been playing for Alabama. She’s clocked in a total of 6,288 minutes and scored 12 goals.

Between warming up with the players to “Fresh Off The Runway” by Rihanna before playing and talking to the coaches, Atherton said it’s her peers and coaches she’ll miss the most.

“I’ve grown so close to them over the past four years,” she said.

Junior Theresa Diederich met Atherton in high school when they played in the U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program together. Since then, Diederich and Atherton have remained best friends.

“Her legacy here is her leadership,” Diederich said. “She brings her hard work on and off the field. It’s going to be challenging for me to realize that she’s not going to be there, but it’ll be okay ’cause I can still call and talk to her. As far as playing on the field, that’s something that’s not going to be replaceable with her energy and her work and skill.”

Bramble said Atherton’s passion and accountability is what makes her so much fun to watch and trust as a player.

“She trains really hard. She’s super competitive,” Bramble said. “She’s good at holding her teammates accountable, at reminding them to do their jobs in the game, on the field and in training, and that’s something we can count on her on a regular basis to do. All of that comes through her passion.”

Atherton only has a few more chances to close out her legacy as her senior season potentially comes to an end. With that, she hopes to finish out the final home game with a bang and hopefully go into the postseason once more.

“When I found out I could be a part of making history, I think I made it my mission and my goal to really bring a winning mentality to [the] team,” she said. “I try to go out there every single day and push my teammates to be the best that they can be and myself, and that correlates to the game field.

“It’s hard because we haven’t had all the success we’ve wanted, obviously. But I’ll always look back and remember that my class was able to lay the stepping stones to a very successful program.”

Students use community service to reflect on past

Bloom Hillel to screen 1963 film on integration

By Alex Swatson | Contributing Writer

Submitted Students gathered at Holt Cemetery Sunday to help clean the area as a part of the Stand in the Schoolhouse Door Service Project.

By Ellen Coogan | Staff Reporter Throughout the gray, drizzly Sunday afternoon, around 100 University of Alabama students explored the past and how it shapes the present while picking up trash, raking and pulling weeds at Holt Cemetery for the Stand in the Schoolhouse Door Service Project.

“A lot of us don’t know what happened in our history and what happened in 1963, so sometimes we need to look deeper and try to uncover those things so we can bring to light problems and issues and better resolve them,” said Kate Bonner, a senior majoring in communication studies and one of the organizers of the event. “A lot of times people think that pushing down issues or bringing them to light negatively is a way to fix a problem, and I think that sometimes bringing them to light and trying to discuss them positively is actually the way for social change.”

The cemetery is a resting place to people of all walks of life, including many veterans, that has been neglected over the years, said Courtney Chapman Thomas, director of the UA Community Service Center.

“So we thought that was a good place – a common ground – for people to be in because we were serving all types of people that day. And not just serving them, but we were there to remember and unearth their stories, which is what we’re trying to do with the 50th anniversary of the Stand in the Schoolhouse Door,” Thomas said.

Bonner and Emma Mullinax, a senior majoring in public relations and communication studies, worked to put together the project for their communication studies class that focused on Stand in the Schoolhouse Door, which refers to when Gov. Wallace blocked two black students from registering for classes at UA in 1963.

“A lot of people do research projects, but I’m not a fan of research projects,” Bonner said. “I like to be active and doing things, so I chose a community service project because the final project for this class is supposed to incorporate things that you’ve learned throughout your time at UA. I’ve spent a lot of time with the community service center, and I know that using community service can influence people.”

The project involved the service at the cemetery as well as a reflection led by Director of the Crossroads

Community Center Lane McLelland, followed by a pledge to make a difference. “[Bonner and Mullinax] came and wanted to discuss how communication and service can break down perceived social barriers,” Thomas said.

Thomas also said the impact the students made in cleaning up the cemetery was significant.

The Community Service Center, the Office of Veteran Affairs and the 50th Anniversary Committee worked to make the project a reality.

“I got the opportunity to work with the 50th Anniversary Committee, and I got my first chance to write a full grant through them,” Bonner said.

“They granted me a sum of money that really helped the project come off.”

Bonner said her favorite part of the experience was seeing people work together.

“I believe the event was a great success,” Mullinax said. “We got to bring together a diverse group of individuals who came together to work as one.

Everyone was engaged and interactive, and it made me feel extremely blessed for all the hard work we put into it.”

The events leading up to the civil rights movement will be examined when the Jewish student center on the University of Alabama campus, The Bloom Hillel, screens the film “Crisis: Behind A Presidential Decision” as part of its event Looking Back to Move Forward.

The 1963 film will be shown in the Ferguson Theater Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 6 p.m.The screening will take part in conjunction with the Through the Doors campaign.

Don Siegal, now a lawyer in Birmingham, was secretary treasurer of the Student Government Association during the time of the University’s original integration in 1963. He became president of the SGA in 1964.

“What happened 50 years ago should be a great lesson for how we handle issues today,” Siegal said.

The first attempt at integration

by Autherine Lucy resulted in hostile riots and was unsuccessful, but student leaders played a role in ending segregation on campus.

Siegal said Donald Stewart, president of the SGA at the time, moved into the dorm with James Hood, the first black male at the University, so they could walk to class and eat together. He said Stewart’s goal was to make Hood feel more comfortable.

“That’s the kind of leadership students exhibited,” Siegal said.

He later said it was important for student leaders to go around and explain why it was vital to control the violence as a result of the riots at Ole Miss the previous year.

Lisa Besnoy, director of Bloom Hillel, said she thinks more dialogue should exist in regards to the University’s current state of integration on campus.

“Do more conversations need to be had? Yes,” Besnoy said. “Do we need to bring opportunity to have these discussions like viewing the

PLAN TO GO WHAT: “Crisis: Behind A Presidential Decision” WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 6 p.m.

WHERE: Ferguson Theater documentary? Absolutely. There needs to be open dialogue in a safe environment.”

The movie, produced by ABC television with permission from the governor of Alabama and the president of the United States, takes viewers behind the scenes of the critical moments leading up to integration on campus in the 1960s.

Viewers will get an inside glance into the life of Gov. George Wallace and his thoughts of segregation in the documentary, as well as hear the phone calls made

by President John F. Kennedy to ensure peaceful success of integration in Tuscaloosa.

Lane McLelland, director of Crossroads Community Center, said there is still an incredible amount of work to be done.

“Students, faculty and staff are doing that not only in a committed way but a pretty aggressive way,” McLelland said. “I see people working to build relationships across all the different perspectives in order to do whatever work needs to be done.”

Bobbie Siegal, wife of Don Siegal, is involved in diversity work in Birmingham and said if blame and guilt can be removed so walls are not built, communication can be more effective.

“It’s much harder to change minds because of conformation bias, but we can change hearts,” she said. “Once hearts are changed, then people see what they have in common and are ready to follow the golden rule.”

COLUMN | ARTS

Lack of diversity traces back to lack of interest

By Erynn Williams | Staff Columnist

program does, is entitle organizations to their seats. Without any concern about getting good spots on the bleachers, students can stroll in leisurely and leave in the same fashion.

But when you give a crack at the prime seats to the general student body, suddenly everything changes. Suddenly, you have competition.

Not only that, you also create a seemingly more cohesive culture of Alabama fans, rather that the typical greek/nongreek differentiation that has run rampant in the block seating section. The games seem louder, maybe even more enticing.

Personally, I would like to see this culture continue to be cultivated and nurtured, and I would love to see those stands filled through four for every game.

Still, I fear that as soon as the suspension is lifted and a nonconference team like Chattanooga comes to town, history will repeat itself.

All I can hope is that we don’t get another scolding from Saban.

Interest in the arts seems to be fading as we enter new decades; h ow e ve r, a need for entertainment, and thus the arts, will a l w a y s Erynn Williams exist.

It has always bothered me to hear someone tell an aspiring artist that they need to find a “real job” or discourage them from a career in a field they truly love. A career in the arts is nothing short of difficult.

But with passion, dedication, drive and an incredible support system, it is possible for anyone to make a respectable living from making art.

Recently, celebrity artists have been talking about the lack of diversity within the field. This extends beyond just race and tackles even sex.

“Saturday Night Live” cast member Kenan Thompson said, when asked about lack of diversity (specifically with black women) in an interview, “It’s just a tough part of the business, … Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready.” As harshly as it can be interpreted, it is the truth when it comes to auditioning for a role of any sort. Unfortunately, if an artist is not what the director is looking for at an audition, then it is the right of that director to reject the artist. This is just as in an interview for any other profession.

If a candidate does not fulfill the requirements, and in most cases, bring something different to the table, then they will not be chosen, and they will be left to improve and try again.

I do not think that racism is a factor in the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry, but instead a lack of interest. Simply put, if there are no people – men or women – of color at an audition, how can anyone be surprised or upset when diversity is not present? I also do not think the issue is a lack of talented people of color or even the lack of preparation of people of color in auditions, but rather it’s an issue of a lack of supported interest in the industry.

This is not something that has just spurred overnight, or even just with Thompson and “Saturday Night Live.”

The show’s cast has never given reason to suspect racism nor sexism. The very first cast featured the talented Garret Morris, and Lorne Michaels himself chose Gilda Radner. Comedy is not the only area that is suffering from a lack of diversity either. Other celebrities have made an effort to educate and foster an interest in the arts for people of color. Misty Copeland, soloist with American Ballet Theatre, avidly strives to promote interest in ballet in young black girls. Copeland is currently working on a documentary of her life as a black woman in one of the top classical ballet companies in the nation.

But we cannot just leave this task at the hands of celebrities. It is our duty as friends, family members and colleagues to encourage our aspiring artists to follow their dreams and practice their art. Most importantly, it is our duty to be that support system that they need to make it in a tough industry. Our focus should not be solely on those of color, however. If we are going to be bothered by a lack of diversity, then we need to take it upon ourselves to encourage and promote interest in the arts to those of color and support them.

Remember, if there is no one of color to show interest in a field, then there will be no one of color in that field.

COLUMN | POLITICS

National interests more important than party loyalty

By Kyle Jones | Staff Columnist One of the easiest ways of determining the amount of freedom in a society is to examine how easy it is to get involved in the existing political system.

In the United States, there are millions of workers involved in the political system who do so through lobbying initiatives, consulting firms, public policy firms, political parties and, of course, elected positions.

The latter of these, however, presents a disturbing situation in modern times. Recently, a spotlight has been shown on the two-party system in the United States. Now it seems more important for many to toe the party line as opposed to do that which is in the national interest. After a month of partisan gridlock, it feels as if America has been left out in the cold while the political leaders of the nation fight a civil war between the two parties.

In 2010, the tea party led a major conservative surge to elect conservatives into office following a two-year Democratic

Kyle Jones super majority. The organization in its infancy served as a valuable tool for the Republican Party. The energy and zeal of the tea party ignited a conservative fire, which had long since died out after the problems during the final years of the Bush administration. The problem is that, much like the excitement that followed John McCain’s nomination of Sarah Palin in 2008, the excitement gave way to panic as these newly empowered voices went “rogue.”

The far-right conservatives in the Republican Party serve and genuinely represent the

opinions of their constituency; however, at the same time, their pounding of the ideological drum and their unwillingness to work with those more liberal than themselves only serve to further divide our country and bring our great Republic dangerously close to chaos.

The Republicans are not the only ones who play this partisan game. The Democratic Party is just as guilty at putting the elections of Democrats over the national interest. One of the best examples of this is the most recent announcement by the Obama administration to support and campaign for the Democratic hopeful for the Virginia governor’s race, Terry McAuliffe.

During McAuliffe’s career in Virginia, he has been embroiled in a number of corruption controversies, including the allegation in a recent report that he had invested with a Rhode Island estate planner who is now facing charges of using stolen IDs of the terminally ill. Many in Virginia recognize that McAuliffe’s corruption

would ultimately hurt their commonwealth; however, the allegations have not stopped top Democratic leaders from coming out to campaign for McAuliffe. In their minds it is more important to beat the Republicans as opposed to letting a Republican win the governorship.

As Americans we must wake up and come to the realization that the only way to move our nation forward is by recognizing that party divisions and ideology will never be the solution to our problems. Instead, it is possible by working together and uniting our nation behind the common cause of strengthening it. As John F. Kennedy said, “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept responsibility for the future.”

COLUMN | BLOCK SEATING

Student section better without block seating

By Maxton Thoman | Senior Staff Columnist Saban spoke, and the students responded.

For the second truly noticeable time this football season, and the first time since the Ole Miss Rebels were in town, the student section – and more importantly, the block seating section – seemed to remain filled long into the fourth quarter as the Tide delivered a bashing to Tennessee.

This is an impressive feat, considering this comes only a week after attendance fell so low in the second half against Arkansas that SGA President Jimmy Taylor deemed it necessary to suspend block seating privileges of the major deserters.

In the end, Taylor and his cabinet made the bold decision to suspend 21 of the 36 represented organizations, and that decision happens to be one that I readily commend.

When organizations applied for their seating this year, they were readily informed of the guidelines to blocked seating in the student organization seating handbook, that only last year was updated to be employed in this exact manner.

Maxton Thorman The handbook clearly names tardiness or early departure from the stadium as “unacceptable behavior” and goes on to state that suspensions from one or more conference games – depending on the offense – would be the proper course of action.

In the end, the enforcement of this bylaw based on the pictures taken of the block seating section was the right decision.

Granted, the system has flaws. Groups at the front of the student organization seating layout did benefit from students pushing forward to get a better view of the game, allowing them to have the sheer numbers to retain their seating last week. However, with both

the blocks’ defined rows and the public knowledge of the consequences for abandoning your section (either in favor of a seat closer to the field or for a cold one at Gallettes), organizations have the ability to control their own respective destinies.

However, I think the most important lesson that came out of this suspension process was that block seating just isn’t necessary.

With block seating suspended on Saturday, we saw one of our greatest fourth quarter turnouts in recent memory.

I would like to attribute that to the conglomeration of random students – both greek and independent – who sat in the bleachers directly behind the south end zone. Regardless if they were normally sitting there or just taking advantage of the open seating (I have spoken to both kinds), the fact that such a large number of students remained is a testament, not only to the power of Nick Saban’s wishes or the enticing prospect of smoking a nice cigar after yet another victory over Tennessee, but also to the unnecessary nature of the student organization seating.

Effectively, what this

Campus ghost tour reveals haunted history

WRC, Verizon hold cell phone drive The Women’s Resource Center is holding the Verizon HopeLine Cellphone Drive, a charity initiative that provides victims of interpersonal violence with a working cellphone.

Individuals interested in donating a cellphone or any cellphone accessory can make their drop-off at any of the following locations: Presidential Village, McCorvey, Tutwiler, Ridgecrest East and West Communities, the WRC and the Dean of Students Office. They will be collecting these items through Thursday, and they are accepting cellphones regardless of whether they are in working condition or not.

After collection ends, Verizon will take the donated items and refurbish them before distributing them.

For more information on the cellphone drive and the WRC’s efforts against interpersonal violence, visit wrc. ua.edu.

Tinker Tour to come to campus Mary Beth Tinker made national news in the 1960s when she was sent home from her middle school for daring to speak out against the Vietnam War. She now speaks at schools and universities across the country.

The Alabama Scholastic Press Association, along with the journalism department and the Student Press Law Center, is sponsoring a visit to The University of Alabama by Tinker and student speech attorney Mike Hiestand as part of the Tinker Tour, a “traveling civics lesson.”

In the 1960s, Tinker was among a group of middle and high school students who wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. Administrators sent the students home, but the free speech case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled to protect the First Amendment rights of students.

The Alabama Scholastic Press Association, along with the Alabama Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, will also sponsor an event at the Birmingham Civil Rights Museum, where Tinker will speak to a group of high school students Nov. 5 at 12:30 p.m.

Tinker’s campus talk is set for Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 9:30 a.m. in the Ferguson Center Theater and is free to the public.

Apply by Friday for Alternative Break Alternative Break trips allow students to travel to communities in parts of the country and the world to engage in service and experimental learning during holiday breaks.

These short-term service trips provide an all-inclusive experience for students on issues such as literacy, poverty, racism, hunger, homelessness and the environment.

The application for the Alternative Break trip for winter break is due Nov. 1.

CW | Pete Pajor Museum naturalist Todd Hester guides curious Tuscaloosans with his lantern and plethora of tales of the haunted campus past.

By Alyx Chandler | Contributing Writer As children in ghoul costumes hold their parents’ hands and University of Alabama students glance sidelong at the sites by Gorgas Library they thought they knew so well, Todd Hester, a naturalist for the Alabama Museum of Natural History, holds a flickering lantern out to his audience. It lights ruins of what little is left on campus after most was burned by Union solders in 1865, a few days before the Civil War was over. Hester tells stories that have been known to spook the campus over the years.

“They can make their own decision on whether or not it’s real,” said Hester, who has manned the Haunting at the Museum tour alone for the last two years.

On Tuesday night from 6-8 p.m., three 30-minute candlelit tours of campus landmarks with ghost stories began at Smith Hall and rounded the Quad, ending between Gorgas Library and the Gorgas House. The free event for all ages was sponsored by the University’s Museum of Natural History in order to give UA students, alumni and Tuscaloosa community members the opportunity to learn the history and a few of the haunted tales floating around the Quad.

More than 300 people attended the event’s third year of tours. A decorated Smith Hall offered punch and Halloween-themed treats inside for people while they scoped out the museum’s well-preserved historical landmarks

People that would come into tours would always want to know if it was haunted, so we decided to do a Haunting at the Museum.

— Todd Hester and, potentially, ghosts.

“I’ve had no personal encounters, but I really love a good story,” said Allie Sorlie, education outreach coordinator for the Alabama Museum of Natural History. “Let me tell you though, Todd really knows how to tell one.”

Smith Hall was named after and formerly owned by geologist Eugene Allan Smith, who some believe still haunts the museum. Hester said former employees and students have claimed they’ve heard footsteps shuffling through the building when no one else was there.

“People that would come into tours would always want to know if it was haunted, so we decided to do a Haunting at the Museum,” Hester said.

For this year’s tour, Hester chose to begin by throwing in an additional story

that hasn’t been told in previous years.

Three velvet ropes close off Smith’s old office, preserving it for visitors to see. Hester said one night, before they closed, one of the velvet ropes was swaying back and forth, while the other two were not. He dismissed it as shaky floors, but there wasn’t any nearby construction. He said the single rope kept swinging without reason for longer than an hour.

“Eventually, I had to just reach over and stop it myself,” Hester said.

That was one of the more recent hauntings, taking place only about three years ago. Most of Hester’s stories date much further back, to around the time of the Civil War. He led the tour to the fenced steps of the ruined Madison Hall, which was burned down by Union troops attacking Confederate buildings in 1865. According to Hester’s story, people can smell smoke in the air around the steps on April 3, the day the building was burned.

“I believe in ghosts, but I hope it’s all fun and games here,” Shelby Bishop, a sophomore majoring in secondary education, said.

After leading the tour group to the steps of Gorgas Library, the Mound and the Little Round House on the side of Gorgas, Hester continued with stories dating back to the burning of most of the area on campus in 1865. The next Haunting at the Museum tour will take place during next year’s Halloween.

“If you aren’t one for scary stuff, I warn you to stay in the sunlight,” Hester said.

Visiting philosopher declares time travel to past impossible Tuesday’s discussion included comparing two competing ideas on time: static and dynamic

By Ellen Coogan | Staff Reporter Fanciful ideas of time travel to the past were dispelled by modern philosopher Ned Markosiah at Tuesday night’s “Philosophy Today” lecture.

“So my argument is that time travel to the past is not possible if a certain theory of time is true. Namely, the dynamic theory of time, which I do think is true,” Markosian, a philosophy professor at Western Washington University, said. “So, I do think time travel to the past is not possible. As for time travel to the future, that could still be possible.”

The talk compared two competing schools of thought about time: static time and dynamic time.

According to static time, all times are equally real. So what happened a few days ago still exists in the same way as what is happening right now.

According to dynamic time, time is like a moving spotlight that shines on certain moments, and only the moments that are under the light exist. The spotlight keeps moving and cannot be stopped, just as time cannot be stopped.

Markosian said time travel to the past is impossible according to dynamic time theory for several reasons.

The first relates to theories of time travel involving scenarios where external time and personal time do not line up. Personal time is the time as experienced by the time traveler, and external time is the time of the rest of the world. His argument states that personal time is not really time at all; it is just a different sequential order without metaphysical implications.

His second reason for why time travel

I was kind of depressed to find out that time travel wasn’t real because it sounds super cool.

— Damon Stanley

to the past is impossible is that present events cannot be causes for past events.

As Markosian said, one cannot push a button today that made something happen in 1900.

“I’ve always been interested in the philosophy of time and issues like the static theory versus the dynamic theory, and then I think, like literally everyone, I find the idea of time travel fascinating, so that got me wondering, ‘Yeah, but is it really possible?’, and then applying some stuff about the different theories about the nature of time and then came up with the conclusion that time travel to the past is not possible if the dynamic theory is true,” Markosian said.

Reactions to the talk ranged from philosophical to emotional.

“I was kind of depressed to find out that time travel wasn’t real because it sounds super cool,” Damon Stanley, a junior majoring in math and philosophy, said.

Other students were intrigued by the theories of time discussed.

“I think I’d want to be a static time traveler because that seems kind of cool, but I think the intuitionism behind

dynamic time travel is ballin’,” Matt O’Brien, a junior majoring in philosophy and economics, said. “I like intuitions as far as like, ‘Hey, go with what you think’s right until reason overruns it,’ and so right now, my intuition doesn’t go with static time, it goes with dynamic time, and I don’t have enough of a reason to want to time travel so bad that I should become a static

time theorist.”

Markosian said if time travel were possible, he would like to go back in time to meet the ancient Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

“The difficulty would be learning ancient Greek,” he said.

Markosian’s and other “Philosophy Today” talks are available on iTunes U.

Creative Campus hosts All Hallows Happening performance art event

By Reed O’Mara | Contributing Writer

Dry ice fog, candles reminiscent of a séance and costumed individuals howling to the moon greeted students who attended Creative Campus All Hallows Happening Tuesday at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum.

“Our goal was to put on an event that blended art and life so people aren’t necessarily coming to a performance and passively watching,” Summer Upchurch, director of All Hallows Happening, said.

Happenings were commonplace during the 1960s and are most often associated with drugs, alcohol or political movements, Upchurch said. A happening is a gathering of individuals coming together to make art, specifically performance art, and to commit to being open with each other through anonymity. To encourage attendees to be open with each other, guests were told to wear costumes and were given masks upon entering.

“The idea was for people to CW | Reed O’Mara come and feel like a different Students gathered Tuesday evening to experience a night of performance art at the person so they would feel more Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum.

comfortable participating,” Upchurch said.

Prompts were also given at the entrance, giving guests a task to do at some point during the night. The tasks ranged from asking someone to be his or her new best friend to howling at the moon. The event fostered honesty by having attendees place wishes and secrets into a box, and their entries were acted out throughout the event.

“I’ve never done anything like this. This is pretty bizarre, pretty unusual,” Susannah Robichaux, a senior majoring in economics and a Creative Campus intern, said. “The point of it is to try and be a part of an artistic expression because that’s what’s going on all around us. This is a chance to experience that in a different way and let go of how we identify ourselves.”

Part of the event included the destroying of a homemade box city and having a moment of silence for the city. Allyson Mabry, a senior majoring in graphic design and printmakingwho arrived at the event adorned in a shark suit with rainbow tights, worked to create the city and performed for All

Hallows Happening. Mabry said sometimes people need to simply relish in not knowing what’s going on.

“We’re trying to expose people to this weird, uncomfortable performance installation art, blurring the lines between art and real life,” she said.

To tie the event back to Halloween, Creative Campus workers gave out candy, and Mabry said they did all they could to add a spooky element. Maddy Lewis, a freshman dressed as the “Grumpy Cat” meme, found out about All Hallows Happening through a flier.

“We kind of went into this blind, I guess, Lewis said “It’s a very neat idea. It’s a nice way to start [Halloween week]. It’s just a bunch of goofy kids.”

The planners of All Hallows Happening are looking to host more happenings this year, though likely not this semester.

“The core of this is you don’t always need to know what’s going on, Robichaux said “You don’t need to be so formal with yourself and other. You can let loose and be weird and have fun.”

COLUMN | MUSIC

University full of free opportunities for live music on campus Submitted Live music can be experienced through any venue, be it a street sidewalk, a coffee shop, or a dorm common room.

By Dylan Walker College is known for being a hub of creativity and art culture, but local art, including live music, is inaccessible to many students. Bars on the Strip have DJs and local bands, but there is usually an age restriction and cover. Students without cars can’t drive to concert venues, even for free events. Spotify and iTunes are nice and convenient, but MP3 files can only carry you so far.

But for those of us operating within these restrictions, there is hope. While we eat, sleep and go to class monotonously, many undiscovered talents are among us, waiting to be heard. Public jam sessions, dorm music and free on-campus performances are underappreciated artistic resources.

As I was wandering through Ridgecrest South one night with my friends, we heard a cover of Matchbox 20 coming from the fifth floor. The music was coming from a room of guitar players and vocalists who were very receptive of a random audience.

They took our requests and even invited us to come back and listen again.

On clear nights, members of the Mallet Assembly are known to set up outside Palmer Hall. Sometimes it is just a keyboard player, and other times a dozen people are cranking out progressive rifts and the Alabama fight song.

Bama Dining does its share to promote music and performance. When Lakeside Dining opened its Patio Grill, a student was performing acoustic covers of popular rock and country songs. Starbucks hosts open-mic nights for the Honors College,

Marr’s Field Journal and other organizations.

Music students also have free showcases on campus for different genres like opera, jazz and classical. University of Alabama tuba players and instructors hosted Octubafest for the first time this October, giving student musicians a chance to showcase their instruments outside of classes or the Million Dollar Band.

It may require some research, but the University of Alabama is not short on free live music. Campus talents are coming through our school every day, and all of the performers I’ve encountered were looking forward to playing for those passing by. If you find yourself broke and bored of your playlists, try taking a walk around your residence hall or Moody Music Building. You will surely find an exceptional local performance.

‘Uncanny Valley’ event to combine written poetry, music

By Lauren Davis | Contributing Writer Two University of Alabama programs, Sonic Frontiers and the Bankhead Visiting Writers Series, have teamed up for their first collaboration to provide the perfect event for students who possess a taste for music, literature and the unusual. The programs will host Jon Woodward and Oni Buchanan, poet and pianist, respectively, to perform Woodward’s poem “Uncanny Valley.”

“Uncanny Valley” is not a typical poem.

Spoken in 16 parts and accompanied by various sounds, it is a piece that encompasses not only poetry, but also live music and haunting audio tracks to provide a presentation that students cannot experience anywhere else, said Andrew Raffo Dewar, New College assistant director of interdisciplinary arts and assistant director of Creative Campus.

“The piece is a creative interweaving of the speaking voice reading the poem, the live-performed piano and stimulating electronic effects,” Dewar said.

“It sounds very interesting, like walking through a labyrinth of echoes with a curious friend who won’t stop talking about fascinating things, accompanied by a solo piano soundtrack.”

The goal of the collaboration is to provide students and the local community with free entertainment that encompasses several facets

PLAN TO GO WHAT: “Uncanny Valley” WHEN: Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

WHERE: Moody Music Building Recital Hall of the arts. The nature of the piece is such that everyone can learn something from it, Dewar said.

“The objective of this event is to present a cutting edge creative work that combines poetry, music and live electronics and to give UA and the broader Tuscaloosa community the opportunity to engage with and ask questions of the performers,” Dewar said.

Sonic Frontiers and the Bankhead Visiting Writers Series hope to provide free entertainment for the community and to engage it in collaborative thought and discussion. Laura Kochman, assistant to the director of the creative writing program, said this type of collaborative thinking is an important aspect to both

college and life experiences.

“Interdisciplinary and artistic thinking enrich both the University experience and experience in general,” Kochman said. “Interdisciplinary and collaborative work is an important part of a college campus, and it’s also where some of the most interesting and exciting art comes from.”

Although this event is firmly rooted in the arts, Dewar and Kochman said there are aspects that will appeal to everyone because having a background in music or literature is not necessary to enjoy the performance or take something away from it.

“Although this event has particular interest for people with a background in music or literature, anyone with an interest in experiencing art will enjoy the performance,” Kochman said. “This work is interested in larger ideas like mechanics and conversation, communication between models of thinking and various participants.”

“Uncanny Valley” will take place Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Moody Music Building Recital Hall. Admission is free and open to the public.

Belle Adair band to return, play at Green Bar Friday

By Francie Johnson | Staff Reporter Based in Muscle Shoals, Ala., the band Belle Adair is no stranger to Tuscaloosa – it’s played in town several times before. For fans who missed the band’s past shows, Belle Adair will be back once again to play Green Bar Friday.

“Belle Adair [is] a Muscle Shoals supergroup of sorts,” David Allen, event coordinator at Green Bar, said.

“They’re a great band, really dynamic.”

The band, consisting of Matt Green, Ben Tanner, Daniel Stoddard, Chris

James and Reed Watson, released its debut album “The Brave and the Blue” in August. It was one of the first bands to be signed under Alabama Shakes keyboardist Ben Tanner’s record label, Single Lock Records.

“They’re touring hard, getting on festivals, doing Daytrotter. Really going for it, as few Bama bands do,” Allen said.

Belle Adair has played in a number of venues in Tuscaloosa.

“I believe our first show was at Green Bar a year or so ago,” lead vocalist Matt Green said. “We’ve also

played the Bama Theatre and the Kentuck Arts Festival in Northport.”

The band’s drummer Reed Watson is originally from Tuscaloosa and attended The University of Alabama.

“[Watson] used to be heavily involved in the scene here,” Allen said. “He booked a bunch of shows, pushed a record label and played with Sparrow and The Ghost.”

All of the other band members are from Muscle Shoals, the band’s home base.

“Some of us have been here our whole lives; others moved away for a time and felt the pull back,”

Green said.

Belle Adair will perform at Green Bar Friday, along with RTB2 and Daniel Markham.

The show will start at 10 p.m., and the cover charge is $5.

VOLLEYBALL

UA Athletics Junior Caitlin Bernardin transferrred to Alabama from a junior college for the volleyball program and educational opportunities.

By Kelly Ward | Staff Reporter California isn’t just Hollywood, beaches and In-N-Out Burger. California is a volleyball state, Alabama coach Ed Allen said. “[In] California, it’s a lifestyle sport,” he said.

“People go to the beach, and they play it. It’s like going to Indiana, and every boy in the state of Indiana plays basketball. It doesn’t matter what sport you play, you play basketball as recreation.”

California is also home for three members of the Alabama volleyball team, including Caitlin Bernardin.

“It’s definitely hard at times [being so far from home],” Bernardin said. “But just being here, the girls make it a lot easier, and being around volleyball and just the program makes it a lot easier on me and just being around what I love to do.”

PLAN TO GO WHAT: Alabama volleyball vs.

Mississippi State WHEN: Friday at 7 p.m.

WHERE: Foster Auditorium RADIO: 90.7 FM RECORDS: Alabama (17-6, 5-4 SEC), Mississippi State (11-11, 2-6 SEC)

Bernardin said she’s used to adapting. She transferred after a semester at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, Calif., to Bakersfield College in Bakersfield, Calif., and transferred again after signing to play with Alabama in May.

Bernardin adjusts to life in South, brings positive attitude to Crimson Tide

“[She’s] a kid who has her priorities in order,” Allen said. “She knows she’s here to get a degree, she knows she’s here to make the program better, and I think the choices that she makes while she’s off the court reflect the success that she’s been able to have while on the court.”

At Bakersfield in 2012, Bernardin was second in the California junior college rankings, with 4.89 kills per set. She finished the year with 444 total kills in 91 sets. At Alabama, she has filled in on the back row and has 187 digs in 85 sets.

“What drew me here was just the volleyball program, the coaches and the team. It made me really feel like I wasn’t too far away [from] home,” Bernardin said. “I just wanted to keep playing volleyball and get a great education while I’m doing it.”

While still a junior in the College of Human Environmental Sciences, she said she plans on

going into sports management. This desire is manifested out on the court, her teammates said.

“Caitlin’s just, she’s a very positive person,” Krystal Rivers, a freshman middle blocker, said. “She’s always like taking a look at who’s going to be positive on the floor. She’s going to give you a lot of encouragement to keep doing what you’re doing even if you’re having a bad day. That’s just the type of person she is.”

It took a little bit of time for Bernardin to adjust to life at the Capstone. There were a couple of cultural differences between California and the South, she said.

“Probably just how time moves so slow over here, and people are really laid back,” Bernardin said. “Like California seems like a big rush, and your day goes by really fast.

Probably just the word ‘y’all.’ [People] say y’all a lot. I had to get used to that.”

CROSS COUNTRY

Tide prepares for championships

By Sean Landry | Contributing Writer The University of Alabama crosscountry teams are ready to be competitive and travel to Gainesville, Fla., to compete in the SEC Championships Friday.

The men’s team had several competitive finishes it hopes will prepare it for the conference championships, including a seventh-place finish at the hometown Crimson Classic meet.

“As a team in the SEC, it’s pretty hard since we’re still an up-and-coming team,” junior Matt Airola said.

“We’re projected like sixth or seventh, so anything above that is an accomplishment.”

On the women’s team, expectations are slightly higher but also harder to predict.

“We were talking to [assistant distance] coach Tribble, and he was telling us that we could finish as high as second and probably as low as eighth,” sophomore Katelyn Greenleaf said.

UA Athletics “Definitely runner-up would be a good After hosting the Crimson Classic, the Tide travel to Gainesaccomplishment team-wise.” ville, Fla., to compete in the SEC Championship.

Airola said the relatively inexperienced team has made several strides toward that goal this season.

“I think we’ve met expectations,” Airola said. “The strides that we’ve made this year compared to the times that they ran last year are like a minute or faster. The stats are there to show that we’ve improved, but it’s still in the process.”

For the women, experience has been key to the marked growth the team has shown this season, winning three team titles and finishing 10th of 48 at a fourth meet.

“Last year, we were all pretty new, being mostly freshmen,” Greenleaf said. “This year, we were expected to do better than we did last year, but I think we’ve overachieved from what the coaches were expecting us to do.

We definitely made huge jumps forward. Hopefully that continues and we do better at SEC than we did even last year.”

The cross-country teams owe much of their growth this season to Greenleaf and Airola. Greenleaf finished second

in three of four meets this year and said she is looking to improve on her 20th place finish in last year’s conference championships.

“Katelyn will lead the way for us again this year,” coach Dan Waters said before the season. “She has come into camp this summer in excellent shape and looks ready to lead our team. After coming in as a top-20 finisher at SECs as a freshman, we have big hopes for her.”

For Airola, who transferred to Alabama last spring from American River College in Sacramento, Calif., the key to his leadership has been setting an example.

“When I came in, in track last season, I wanted to be someone that people looked up to because I ran so fast,” Airola said. “I’m not really a leader in that I’m going to tell somebody to do something, but I want people to follow the workouts that I do by example.”

Overall, Airola and Greenleaf said the teams are ready to compete this weekend. Airola said the team is prepared for any conditions.

FOOTBALL

Alabama teammates take to social media

By Marc Torrence | Sports Editor When it was announced that safety Vinnie Sunseri would miss the rest of the season with ligament damage, his partner at safety, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, took to Twitter to send a message to Sunseri and Alabama fans.

“I pray my brother @vsunseri3 (Sunseri) has a speedy recovery tomorrow from his surgery please keep him in your prayers Live through me peanut butter,” Clinton-Dix tweeted. “I know there is no way me nor @ALLAMERICAN_2 (Landon Collins) can match the intensity and effort VINNIE gave to the team but we will do our best.”

While some college football programs ban players completely from Twitter and other social media outlets, many Alabama players are regular users of the social media platform.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said he doesn’t ban his players from social media but monitors their activity and sets guidelines for what players can and can’t say.

“We have a rule that you’re really not supposed to put any information out about our team, things that are internal to our family,” Saban said. “And we don’t want any guy here not to create positive value in himself and his image with anything he might put on social media.”

He also said they have speakers come in and talk to players about the danger of certain content on social media.

“We have people come and speak to players and show them examples of images that are created by things

that people put on Twitter so that we’re hopeful that they see that this is not the image that they want to create for themselves and anything that represents our team,” he said. “That’s pretty much our policy. When we have issues, we address them, but we don’t have anything that restricts players from having Twitter.”

Linebacker C.J. Mosley is on Twitter but tweets sparingly.

“I have some where I’m like, ‘Hmm, should I put this?

Should I put that?’” Mosley said. “But I’m not really a big tweeter. I don’t tweet a lot of things like that. I’m pretty smart with those type of situations. I was raised the right way. I don’t really want to get put there in the wrong situation and get looked at the wrong way.”

Wide receiver Kevin Norwood, however, isn’t on Twitter.

“I’m not a big social media guy. I can care less about all that stuff,” he said. “I got a Facebook just for the fans and the family that I barely get to talk to back at home. That’s pretty much it.”

Many college coaches, including those of Alabama’s SEC West rivals like LSU’s Les Miles, Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin and Auburn’s Gus Malzahn, are active on Twitter. But Saban said it’s not for him.

“I’ve never considered joining Twitter, nor do I know why anybody would,” he said. “There’s a lot of people that do, and I guess that I’m one of the ones in the minority.”

Mosley, however, said he thinks otherwise.

“He claims he don’t have one, but he probably does,” he said.

The name Roberta Alison Baumgardner is seen everywhere throughout the Alabama tennis complex, as it rightfully deserves to be.

Baumgardner was one of the most inspirational women in Alabama athletics, helping pioneer women competing in the Southeastern Conference.

The Alabama women’s tennis team will honor Baumgardner by hosting the Roberta Alison Fall Classic this weekend.

“Roberta has given all of us opportunities that we would not otherwise have,” coach Jenny Mainz said. “What she did was monumental. To play college tennis when there wasn’t a women’s program is just courageous.”

Like Baumgardner, Mainz has been influential in the success of the tennis program over the years. Mainz, entering her 17th year as head coach, has led the Crimson Tide to six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and 10 overall.

Following the 2012-13 season, she was named the Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Coach of the Year.

“She has gone from making the program nothing to top in the nation,” sophomore Natalia Maynetto said. “She is very inspiring, and it shows in the results that she has done a good job with us.”

This weekend will be the final time Alabama plays this fall, which acts as a preseason for the more competitive

spring season that will start in January.

Maynetto said the team has played well this fall, but there is still more work to be done before the start of the regular season.

“It is bittersweet and tough to think that it is our last event of the fall,” Maynetto said. “We have worked hard so far, and we will continue to work hard after this tournament. I’m looking forward to how we play in the spring season.”

There will be a wide range of teams competing in the tournament this weekend including Michigan, Clemson and Loyola Marymount. Mainz said this has always been a very top-heavy tournament with quality competition.

“We will have some of the best players and teams across the country playing in this tournament,” Mainz said.

“Everyone likes to come play this tournament because of the genuine hospitality and who Roberta Alison was and her significance.”

Mainz said the Crimson Tide is looking forward to finishing the fall season at home and is humbled to play in honor of Baumgardner.

“It is a privilege to be able to play and represent her with a tournament in her name at The University of Alabama,” Mainz said. “We will honor her in the most significant way, and that’s to compete with class, pride and sportsmanship. We intend to do that this weekend.”

Sorority withdrawals will not affect legal intervention in case ELECTION CONTEST FROM PAGE 1

sororities will not affect the legal intervention, as the fraternities and students still wish to proceed. The remaining fraternities include Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Prince said now the question is whether the judge will let anyone intervene at all.

The original motion to intervene, filed last week, denies all illegal misconduct of said parties, stating “the Intervenors deny that they are guilty of any conduct that would warrant their vote being voided or not counted and Intervenors affirmatively state that they are entitled to a free and full exercise of their rights as U.S. citizens, voters and electors.�

The document goes on to delineate the voters’ rights as according to the Alabama Code, stating that the Intervenors are “all properly qualified and registered voters in District 4.�

The contest comes in response to the Aug. 27 District 4 Board of Education elections, where Cason Kirby beat Kelly Horwitz by 87 votes. Following the election, Horwitz alleged widespread voter fraud, largely focused on the UA greek community.

Horwitz is now contesting 397 votes from the election, at least 392 of which were cast by students. Kirby’s attorney, Andy Campbell, has denied any involvement by Kirby in the alleged fraud.

The testimony of the 397 voters will now be evaluated in the form of a 36-question affidavit, which largely focuses on evaluating the residence of the voter. The affidavits are due to the court Oct. 31, with the final trial date set for Nov. 18.

CW File Researchers hope to gain new information regarding stress and the traumatic effects the April 27, 2011, disaster had on local children.

Study continues to explore impact of tornadoes on youth TORNADO FROM PAGE 1

also used the tornado as a branching-off point to study the impact of traumatic natural disasters on children’s functioning. “This is really a unique opportunity because we had all this pre-existing data,�

Lochman said. “So we had information from parents’ ratings, teacher ratings, children’s self report on behavior and emotional functioning, and we had psycho-physiological measures, so we had measures of their skin conductance and their heart rate.�

Skin conductance and heart rate are indicators of stress-reactivity.

There have been other studies of a

similar nature, including ones that observed the effect of hurricanes and a factory fire, Lochman said. “Those studies have suggested that, in fact, major traumatic events can, in the long run, cause children to have internalizing problems,� Lochman said. “But it’s really unknown whether or not they create broad effects on children’s functioning in terms of acting-out behaviors as well, whether or not they affect children’s autonomic nervous system, their physiological reactions to things like stressors, and it was unknown how children’s parents responded, whether or not they responded more poorly after these kind of events than before.�

The study will continue to explore the impact of the tornado on these students for the next five years, thanks to a $1.9 million grant from the National Institute of Child

Health and Human Development. “I think it’s exciting to us to be able to follow this group of students for an additional five years, so really to get the opportunity to see how they’re doing,� Powell said. “For some of them, it will be nearly 10 years since they started with our project. So that’s exciting to have that amount of information for such a long time period.�

Undergraduate researchers have been assisting in the project by traveling to the homes of study participants to interview parents and children and play a role in shaping the questions that are given to the subjects. “To me the most challenging part of the project is seeing how many people were traumatically affected by the tornado in the loss of their homes, loved ones and friends,�

Brantley Porter, a junior majoring in nursing and a researcher on the project, said.
