Serving the University of Alabama since 1894

Judge rules in favor of Moore

Vol. 116, Issue 52

Capstone Chamber Orchestra rehearses for student-led performance

Artist did not violate trademark, ruling says By Avery Dame Metro/State Editor

A federal judge ruled that artist Daniel Moore did not violate trademark laws by painting scenes of Alabama football without licensing the work through the University. The University sued Moore in 2005, alleging he painted scenes of Crimson Tide football games without permission and reissued licensed prints without paying royalties. Moore denied violating trademark laws and claimed his art is speech protected by the U.S. Constitution. “These particular paintings that they are talking about, there is no question that they are journalism,” Moore told The Crimson White in 2005. “They document history, just like a newspaper documents history. [Newspapers] paint word pictures, and I paint visual pictures. My form of journalism has a longer shelf life.” However, then-UA spokesman Tom Stipe said this argument proves why Moore should pay the University a licensing fee. “You don’t nail a copy of The Crimson White to the wall, but you would put one of Moore’s paintings there,” he said. “Most people recognize the difference between fine art and everyday journalism.” U.S. District Court Judge Robert Propst rejected the University’s argument in an opinion issued Monday that Moore’s paintings showed trade dress. Propst said the depiction of uniforms is incidental to the purpose of the paintings, and actual confusion between Moore’s work and official licensed Alabama paintings is “weak if existent.” According to Propst’s ruling, while color schemes can be protected as a trademark when the colors have no function, football uniforms serve to distinguish team members for football officials and the audience. “This court concludes that the depiction of the uniforms in the paintings is incidental to the purpose and expression of the paintings,

Mayor, city council sworn in Council to consider incentive for new Tuscaloosa retailers By Eryn Phillips Senior Staff Reporter Mayor Walter Maddox welcomed the 2009 City Council at the municipal inauguration ceremony Tuesday. The mayor stood in front of approximately 200 Tuscaloosa residents, UA students and media representatives when Probate Judge Hardy McCollum swore him into office. Maddox said he was humbled by the ceremonies and pledged to continue to work with Walt Maddox

the City Council to get Tuscaloosa’s economy thriving again. “The City Council will be considering several different proposals in the coming weeks with the common goal to strengthen our tourism and commercial departments,” Maddox said. “If we are to achieve this goal, the status quo in economic development cannot be accepted or tolerated.” The ceremony marked the first time since the city adopted the mayor-council form of government in 1985 that the mayor and all seven council members were re-elected collectively. Councilman Harrison Taylor was re-elected as City Council president. Maddox said it was a wise decision of the council, stating that Taylor

was a dear friend of his and had given him some wise advice over the years. “He has also provided Tuscaloosa with strong leadership and has a knack for his quick-witted statements, which are commonly referred to as ‘Taylorisms’ by the City Council,” Maddox said. Councilman Lee Garrison, the councilman for the University’s district, said he is glad to be serving the city and the campus in his fourth term on the council. “I plan to continue my partnership with the SGA to make improvements on campus,” Garrison said. “I also want to strengthen the city’s bond with UAPD to keep students safe.” The main focus of Tuesday’s ceremony was to keep Tuscaloosa residents hopeful and encourage everyone to do their own part to bring economic security back to the city. Maddox spoke about an incentive package for area retailers to

promote people to open their own businesses again, generating millions in city revenue. The package would involve rebating a set percentage of sales tax to developers and retail owners over a period of 10 years, if passed by the council. “Tuscaloosa, like so many cities across the country, are feeling the tightening grip of this recession,” Maddox said. “I want the people I serve to not be afraid to follow their dreams of opening their own business.” The council collectively pledged to continue to diversify the local economy and improve education. Maddox said the planning process already has begun in order to improve public safety and customer service at City Hall. “To those who have lost their jobs, been forced to close the doors to their businesses and those who have made untold sacrifices to buy

SGA hosts events to raise money for scholarships By William Evans Staff Writer

From Wednesday night until early Saturday morning, the SGA will host three events for students to enjoy to raise money for the RAGE scholarships available for students. The RAGE scholarships range from $500 to $1,500, and students can apply for

a need-based scholarship, a merit-based scholarship or both. Applications for the RAGE scholarships are due Friday at the SGA office in Room 231 in the Ferguson Center. “This scholarship opportunity is unique because it’s money raised for students by students,” said SGA spokeswoman Anne Elizabeth Davis. “The name RAGE comes from

the idea of students raging for scholarship money.” Davis said a great line-up of events would be held this week to raise money. For example, students can see Tim Reynolds, a musician who played with Dave Matthews on the albums “Live at Radio City” and “Live at Luther College,” at the Bama Theatre on Wednesday from 8:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m.

Tickets at the door cost $10. “We wanted events spectacular enough to bring people from all parts of campus,” said Meg McCrummen, SGA executive vice president. “The great thing about RAGE is that we have been able to bring new and exciting events to campus, and we expect to see a large amount of money raised for

FAST FACTS • Rage scholarships range from $500-$1500. • Applications for RAGE are due Friday. • Events kick off Wednesday with a concert by Tim Reynolds. • Ticket packages are on sale at crimsonartstickets.com.

Council divided over alcohol license

CORRECTION In Monday’s edition of The Crimson White, an article titled “IITS offers its services to UA students, faculty� referred to IITS as a business, but it is a division within the UA System. To clarify a section that said students can access lectures on iTunes from classes they miss, students only can review classes that originated through IITS and were sent to iTunes. The article said Eve Pentecost is chair of distance education for the College of Human Environmental Sciences, but Pentecost is assistant professor in the College of Human Environmental Sciences.

CAMPUS | St. Francis Univeristy Parish concludes fall ʝTheology on Tapʟ series On Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Bob Baumhower’s Wings in Tuscaloosa, St. Francis University Parish will conclude its four-week fall Theology on Tap speaker series.

By Eryn Phillips Senior Staff Reporter The Tuscaloosa City Council voted Tuesday to grant local business owner John Sumner a beer and wine license for Sumners Supermarket, located close to Holt High School. The Tuscaloosa Police Department’s background investigation found Sumner had four misdemeanor convictions for driving under the influence charges on his record, two of which he was convicted of. All four of Sumner’s DUI charges are currently more than 10 years old,

the most recent one from 1997. TPD recommended the license not be granted due to his past criminal record. Sumner was also arrested last year for promoting gambling at a house close to his business, Sumner’s Supermarket, which is located on Alabama Avenue. Sumner pled guilty to the misdemeanor and paid a $500 fine. After much debate between council members, the council voted 4-3 to issue the beer and wine license. Council members expressed concern over Sumner’s illegal gambling charge as well as his

{

involvement in illegal activity. Councilman Lee Garrison voted yes on the resolution. “He had a clean record at his business, he admitted to it and didn’t try to hide it,� Garrison said. “Plus, the charges were misdemeanors, and we try to give people the second chances. I think he means well.� Councilman Bobby Howard,

representative for District 1, voted against granting the license. “I feel like a true businessman ought to have more integrity than to run a legitimate business in conjunction with something illegal,� Howard said. “It’s either his business wasn’t making enough, or he just didn’t care enough about it.�

McCrummen said a team of SGA senators chose three areas of focus during the summer, and one of those areas was financial aid.

“One area of focus that we decided to address was financial aid,� McCrummen said. “Once we came to that decision, the idea of having events

to raise money for student scholarships just caught on.� Students will have plenty of events to attend, participate in and enjoy, she said. On Thursday, students can walk out to the Quad and buy tickets from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. for one of 15 hot air balloon rides being given away. From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., 15 restaurants from Tuscaloosa will have samples of food for students to eat on the Quad for an event called the “Taste of Tuscaloosa.� Students can buy ticket packages for the events during this week for $25 online at uasgarage.com/RAGE/Home. html. Tickets at the door to each event cost $10.

The University Union, a division of Student Affairs, will offer a common book experience on “The Accidental Billionaires� on Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ferguson Center Game room. The discussion will be lead by Judith Halli, principal of Holy Spirit Catholic High School in Tuscaloosa. “The Accidental Billionaires� details the story of Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg, the creators of the social networking phenomenon — Facebook. The common book experience is free and open to the UA community. Refreshments will be provided. The books are free to students and can be picked up in 356 Ferguson.

UA spokeswoman Debbie Lane said in a statement the University agrees with portions of Propst’s opinions, but respectfully disagree with others. “As Judge Propst has stated repeatedly, these issues will ultimately be decided by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals,� she said. “We will continue to do our best to protect the property rights of the University of Alabama.� The University first filed the lawsuit in 2005.

Amanda Burton, a senior majoring in public relations and a member of the St. Jude Collegiate Executive Board for the UA campus, said the campaign is a great way for students to make a difference without having to donate a lot of time or money. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a children’s hospital known for researching and finding cures and treatments for interminable children’s illnesses, Burton said. Regardless of ability, all patients’ families are not required to pay. “There are patients from all over the world from Guatemala to Africa,� Burton said. “Most

The participants will be supplied with pre-typed letters, on which they can write a small

hospitals, if they think there isn’t a cure, will refer them to St. Jude since St. Jude can research for a cure.� Megan Emmert, a representative for St. Jude, said the daily operating budget for St. Jude is around $1.4 million. “Up ’til Dawn is a way that you as a student can help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital continue to research and treat catastrophic childhood diseases so that no child is denied treatment because of a family’s inability to pay,� Emmert said. Burton said this is the first year “Up ’til Dawn� was a big campuswide event. “This is the first year where there is a group of students going out there and getting the word out,� Burton said. “I’ve been working with them to establish a

plan and this is kind of a testing year. I’m going to leave a communication plan with them to help them execute it in future years.� Burton said this is the first year they have worked with somebody who has experience in public relations and planning events. The Up ’til Dawn event is student-led and student-run with help from a St. Jude representative, who in this case is Emmert, Burton said. This year the St. Jude Collegiate Executive Board at the University decided to not make it an event where students had to stay up all night. “It’s designed where you stay up all night but we decided as a board to not do it since we wanted more students to participate,� Burton said.

It is a wonderful thing to have an organization that is so dedicated to making lives better for children.� Emmert said students should come with the children at the hospital in mind. “It’s all about the kids,� Emmert said. “Although they are some of the sickest kids in the world, they never complain and

Ex-ambassador talks U.S.-Cuba relations By Victor Luckerson Staff Reporter Relations between Cuba and the U.S. may not improve in the near future, said a former diplomat and ambassador to Nicaragua and Argentina. Lino GutiĂŠrrez, a 1972 UA graduate, spoke at the Bryant

Conference Center Tuesday in an event hosted by the Latin American studies and history departments. GutiĂŠrrez outlined the trajectory of U.S.Cuban relations since the ascension of Fidel Castro to power in 1959 and offered perspective on future prospects for the two nations.

“Every effort the United States has made to normalize with Cuba has been thwarted,â€? GutiĂŠrrez said. He chronicled Cuba’s rise in power and influence, which ended in the early 1990s with the collapse of the Soviet Union. At that point, Cuba was forced to become more open to the outside world, making changes such as allowing tourism and circulating the U.S. dollar. “Cuba weathered the collapse of the Soviet Union by changing course, allowing

on Cuban politics. Castro’s younger brother Raul succeeded him as president in 2006. “Fidel has not gone away,â€? GutiĂŠrrez said. “He still comments on daily events in the newspaper. Many people feel Raul will do nothing that would offend his brother.â€? When Raul Castro gained power, there was much speculation about a possible shift toward capitalism and democracy for Cuba. However, GutiĂŠrrez said such a shift is unlikely. “[The shift Raul Castro] led to a lot of speculation about what’s going to happen on the island,â€? he said. “The measures Raul has taken seem very modest to me.â€? Under Raul Castro, Cubans can now go to tourist hotels and buy agricultural tools from organizations besides the Cuban government. “In the world of Cuba, [any change] is viewed as a stop-the-presses event,â€?

On Monday, The Crimson White In short: Vendors reported the should play by University receives the rules and about $3.5 million apply to use UA annually in revenues trademarks. from items with Alabama trademarks, including the script “A” logo and the phrase “Roll Tide.” University officials said they send cease-and-desist letters to trademark violators in an effort to protect the UA image. We’re glad they do. Since 1831, the University has built a reputation as a school of high academic quality (and improving every day) and first-class athletics. That reputation should not be available to individuals seeking to make a quick buck without going through established procedures. But it’s about more than protecting the University’s reputation. It’s about helping current and future students. The University reports that much of the $3.5 million in licensing goes to scholarships for students in both the general and athletic pools. Trademark licensing is a winning bet for the University when it is done properly. UA students score more than $3 million in scholarship money, and the entire University community benefits from knowing its reputation is better protected. Members of the UA community can help by reporting suspected violations to Capstone officials so they can ensure the University’s intellectual rights are respected.

Leave abortion out of bill By Avery Adcock With major health care reform waiting to be passed on the House floor by the end of the week, the issue of abortion funding is proving to be a major roadblock for Democrats. Just as progress seemed to be near, House Democrats and Republicans continued to debate the bill that could use government resources to fund abortions. The debate is two-fold. In the House version of the health care bill, there is a government insurance alternative, as well as federal subsidies for health care coverage for those who qualify. Previously, Democratic leaders have supported one of these provisions that would allow individuals using the subsidies to have health care that provides abortions. Insurance agencies would then have to separate federal money from private sources. Despite the distinction, both federal and private money is used to purchase these plans, which would in some way be funding the abortions, if allowed. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., has said he is prepared to fight for more support within the House to “vote against using public funds for abortions.” Before the bill actually reaches the House floor for a vote, it is imperative that any provisions allowing public spending used towards abortions be removed. Government money can be used for special cases such as rape, but that should be the only case. Those backing the bill say

Pro-life lobbyists are calling abortion “reproductive health,” but I believe it to be an unnecessary and controversial use of money. If so many House Democrats say there is no such provision, why would a ban be such a big deal? The current proposals have loopholes that many Americans, including myself, are concerned about. With such influential reform, it is necessary that the literature is black and white. Currently, the gray area seems to be all encompassing. In cases of rape, incest or when an abortion is necessary to save a mother’s life, I agree with funding for abortions, but having health care coverage that provides for abortions would be contradicting the values of our nation. Once the government sticks its hand in this cookie jar, there is no escaping.

Montana Sen. Max Baucus’ “America’s Health Future Act” would also allow tax credits to be applied for abortion plans. American taxpayer dollars would be funding the plan’s administration, meaning that Americans would, inevitably, be funding abortions. Either the public versus private system needs to be more clearly defined, or there needs to be a ban included in the bill before it reaches the House floor for a vote. Abortion funding should never be a part of health care reform. If this bill passes with these ambiguities, the future of health care will be at the same state it is in now. Health care reform has been the biggest struggle of President Obama’s presidency. If things keep heading in the same direction, it seems as though abortion may share the same title. President Obama needs to be more vocal in supporting or condemning the plans. At the anniversary of his election, President Obama can use this opportunity to take a stand. In a time like this, Americans are looking towards their president for answers. Mr. President, where are you? Avery Adcock is a sophomore majoring in political science.

Look at Afghanistan war with a radical perspective By Josh Veazey The way we’ve framed the Afghanistan debate is extremely narrow and borderline bizarre. Every day brings just another back and forth volley between President Obama and various military leaders — military leaders who have a history of distorting the facts since the Iraq troop surge. You’re either for more counterinsurgency or more counterterrorism. No one seems to be asking an important question: What does Afghanistan want? You could start with their president, Hamid Karzai (who, please don’t misunderstand, isn’t a great guy by anyone’s standards). Last December, he sent a letter to the White House stating strikes and house raids, because of the widespread civilian deaths and disrespect of traditional Muslim culture, were mostly serving to turn Afghan civilians against the war. Or you could start with the fact that 75 percent of Afghans favor negotiations among themselves, negotiations that include the Taliban, even those Taliban members hiding in Pakistan. The Afghan people support U.S. intervention, but they want aid and development instead of just

military action. Why is this country, eight years after the invasion, still in chaos? It isn’t from lack of spending. We’ve pumped $223 billion into the war since Sept. 11, 2001. It isn’t from lack of human resources. Coalition troops already outnumber Taliban fighters four to one. I’m not a military expert, but I would bet against the magic number being five. Combined with their security forces and police, it’s a 12-1 advantage. If you want advice on how continuing to add more forces is likely to turn out, ask former members of the Soviet Union. It isn’t from lack of willingness to do unscrupulous things. Karzai, who we propped up, now is the certified winner in an election in which an international study claims that 28 percent of the votes he received were fraudulent. We’ve stood by as he’s passed laws that are as abhorrently misogynist as the Taliban. Karzai’s brother, according to The New York Times, apparently is an opium dealer on the CIA payroll. Last week, Matthew Hoh, a former marine who was the top civilian officer in Zabul Province, resigned out of protest of the way the war is being conducted. His letter

of resignation articulates why we’re mistaken to think of the conflict as Us versus The Terrorists: “The United States is no more than a supporting actor, among several previously, in a tragedy that not only pit tribes, valleys, clans and families against one another…[but has] violently and savagely pitted the urban, secular, educated and modern of Afghanistan against the rural, religious, illiterate and traditional.” The latter group, he explained, are the tribes that cause turbulence and help to aid and harbor the Taliban. You want to prove that we’re in this for the sake of a blooming democracy and not for some future pipeline? Put money into aid. Build infrastructure. Feed and assist people. Fight the drug trade that’s funding the insurgency. Create a climate that, in the long run, means people won’t suffer the kind of despair and frustration that makes them turn to the opiate of radical religion. To secure a democracy, start with the first principle in any true democracy — listening. Josh Veazey is a senior majoring in telecommunication and film. His column runs biweekly on Wednesdays.

Stimulus good for UA

Economists will argue for a while whether President Obama’s massive stimulus package spurred an economy recovery. No matter what they come up with, we’re confident that the $32.1 million the University received will help the Capstone and, eventually, the nation as a whole. While the stimulus package was imperfect, as most federal programs are, we are pleased to see the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on campus. We will not see results from the spending immediately. It is our hope, however, that in future years, people around the world will better understand the world we all share. And when they do, they’ll be able to thank the stimulus package. And the University of Alabama.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR UA policy on trademarks flawed By Daniel Moore

I have never been opposed to licensing or supporting my University. There are some things the NCAA will allow the University to license and some things it will not allow — including anything depicting players with remaining eligibility published by outside publishers. This holds true for books, magazines, art prints, etc. Because it is the NCAA Bylaws (not mine) that prohibits the University from licensing such products, more than 90 percent of the prints I have published since 1979 would have been “off limits” to UA licensing, no matter how badly either one of us would have liked for them to be licensed. However, through my “licensable” art prints and products, together with the University, we raised significant money for the UA Scholarship Fund. And, even over the course of this four-year litigation process, I have continued to contribute to my alma mater through other avenues. In 2001, UA Director of Licensing Finus Gaston said I had to license all of my artwork. It was at that time that the major dispute arose because the fact is that all of my artwork could not be licensed. Nevertheless, it still was my position that I would continue to license the prints and products that were allowed to be licensed by the NCAA. Court documents clearly show that on two occasions I proposed such products for licensing. I was turned down because the University did not want me to “pick and choose” what I wanted to license. Therefore, the University’s allegations that I “simply refused to license” and that I was “in breach” of a contract are patently false. A judge’s recent findings in my favor on the UA trademark case against me further confirm this. Moreover, because it was the University that refused to grant me licensing on those products I proposed, and others that I could have licensed over these past eight years, it only was the University that prevented the additional funding of “a significant number of scholarships” through the sales of these products. I love this University and support its trademark licensing program that raises money for scholarships. However, it is not necessary that I abrogate my First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and expression in order to support any one of these causes.

COVERING CAMPUS HEALTH, WELLNESS AND NUTRITION

College students need fiber in daily diet By Cindy J. Waldrop Overwhelmed and confused about fiber? Today, we cannot go down a grocery aisle without seeing an advertisement for high-fiber foods. With all of the advertising, there must be some benefit to adequate fiber intake, right? There is. High fiber foods have many health benefits, including decreasing your risk for obesity, diabetes, colon caner and high cholesterol, just to name a few. College students should receive 25-38 grams per day or 14 grams for every 1,000 calories, but the average American intake only is 12 grams per day. A recent American Dietetic Association study showed out of 144 college students, only 19 met the daily recommendations for fiber intake. Fiber is primarily plant-based and is classified as soluble or insoluble. Both types are undigested in the body. Soluble fiber turns to a gel and slows down carbohydrate digestion and absorption, which helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Oats, oatmeal, legumes (peas, beans and lentils), barley, fruits and vegetables are good sources. Insoluble fiber mainly stays in its original form as it travels through the digestive system. It

increases travel time and creates bulk facilitating regularity and relieving constipation. Insoluble fiber inhibits some caloric-dense dietary fast therefore helping fight off weight gain. Both types may help reduce appetite by making you feel fuller faster. Naturally, high fiber foods are lower in calories. You can find insoluble fiber in wheat bran, whole grains, nuts, rye, rice and barley. So, how do you add fiber to your diet? You can find fiber in whole grain breads and cereal, vegetables, fruits, nuts and soy products. In most fruits and veggies, the fiber is found in the skin, so leave it on. By eating a variety of foods, you will get a mix of the different fibers. Eat cereals, breads and pastas that have whole grains. Processed and fortified foods like cereals and granola bars have added fiber. It is important to monitor your fiber intake by looking at the food label and making sure that it supplies at least 2.5 grams per serving. If you are looking to increase your intake, do so gradually. Consuming fiber too quickly can cause digestive discomfort. Use caution when eating high-fiber cereals and cereal bars. One can have as many as 10-25 grams of

fiber per serving by eating several a day you could be causing some discomfort to your stomach. Add a couple of grams per day to allow your digestive system time to adjust. Drinking water and fluids throughout the day will help alleviate some of the side effects of increased fiber. Dietary fiber is an essential part of a college student’s diet. Eating on the go around campus makes it hard to keep up with what nutrients you are receiving. Bama Dinning provides easy-toread nutrition facts both in dining halls and on their Web site at bamadining.com. Their Web site is user friendly and provides nutrition facts on meals in many locations around campus. For breakfast at The Fresh Food Company, try hot or cold cereals with fresh fruits. For lunch, get the vegetable fajitas. If there is no time for a sit-down meal, head to Grab and Go sections located in the Ferguson Center and other convenience stores on campus. Here you will find conveniently packaged fresh fruits and vegetables. Happy eating! Cindy Waldrop is a senior majoring in nutrition. Her health column runs biweekly on Wednesdays.

Etheridge: After neck injury, walking ‘a miracle’

AUBURN — Auburn safety Zac Etheridge feels blessed to be able to walk after a serious neck injury and expects to play football again. With his neck immobilized by a brace, Etheridge spoke to reporters and teammates Tuesday, three days after sustaining an injury in the Mississippi game that landed him in the hospital for two nights. He said his fifth vertebra was cracked and he tore ligaments in his neck in a headfirst collision with teammate Antonio Coleman. Etheridge said he wants to play again and doctors told him he should be able to. He has to wear the brace, a harness-like device with a support under his chin and running up the back of his neck, for three to four months. The junior said he probably will not attend Saturday’s game against Furman, but “I will definitely be at the Iron Bowl” against rival Alabama on Nov. 27. He was taken by ambulance to a Birmingham hospital Saturday night and was released on Monday. Etheridge and Coleman crashed into each other while trying to tackle Ole Miss running back Rodney Scott. Etheridge praised Scott for remaining still underneath him on the ground. He planned to talk to him later in the day, and had already spoken to Rebels coach Houston Nutt.

“When it first happened, I was paralyzed for a little bit,” Etheridge said. “Just laying on that ground, it felt weird not being able to control your body. I’ve got to take my hat off to Rodney Scott. It was a blessing that he didn’t move. “If he would have moved anywhere, I wouldn’t be here today. I’d still be laying in the hospital bed.” Lying on the ground, temporarily unable to do more than wiggle his toes, Etheridge said he could only offer a brief prayer. “I was in shock, just not being able to move. There was a lot going through my mind,” he said. “The only thing I could say was ‘Jesus, Jesus,’ just calling out his name.” He said one of the first questions he asked doctors was, “Will I be able to play again?” Etheridge gingerly walked up and down the stairs at the football complex Tuesday, but he wasn’t complaining about the brace. “It’s tough to sleep,” he said. “It’s something I’ll have to deal with just to get a chance to try to continue my career. “I would love to be able to step out on the field and continue to play the game but right now I’ve just got to take it one day at a time.” Auburn coach Gene Chizik said junior college transfer Demond Washington would move from cornerback to strong safety to replace Etheridge. The secondary has also been without injured starters Mike McNeil and Aairon

the team will miss Etheridge’s leadership and communication on the field. “These past couple of weeks, he’s been going to coach Chizik one-on-one asking, ‘How do I get myself better? What can I do for this defense to make us better?’” Bynes said. “Those are things we didn’t know until coach Chizik told us in a meeting Sunday.

“That’s the type of guy we have back there, a leader, a guy who’s going to do anything for this team and for the defense.” Asked why he chose to speak publicly about his injury instead of resting at home, Etheridge said it was his way of responding to the prayers, text messages and e-mails he received from fans. “I just want to let the world

know that I’m fine,” he said. “I just want to thank everybody for their prayers. That helped my family out going through this situation, especially me knowing how much I love this game and love this university. “I’ve got to give a heads-up to the fans and everyone that’s been praying, because it’s been a miracle. I’m just blessed to be able to walk again.”

Tide rests, reenergizes during off week By Spencer White Assistant Sports Editor After eight consecutive weeks of grinding away on the football field, including five straight Southeastern Conference contests, the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide football team got a chance to rest wearied minds and tired bodies with a much deserved bye week. “It just gives you time to rest,” said junior linebacker Rolando McClain. “Going eight games straight coming right out of camp was the hard thing.” Even head coach Nick Saban, a consummate workaholic if there ever was one, spent a few days at his home in Lake Burton, Ga. Not that he kept work far away. “I watched some football games and some baseball games on Saturday,” Saban said. “I’d flip back and forth on the channels, have about four games going at the same time and a baseball game, and my wife is yelling at me the whole time because we’re not watching what she wants to watch.” Many players took some of the extra time over the weekend to travel back home, especially players like junior quarterback Greg McElroy, who resides in Texas. Even back home, however, the Tide field-general still kept a close eye on some high-quality football. “I watched the [Dallas] Cowboys win,” McElroy said. “It was a good weekend, a very good weekend.” Some players, like senior offensive lineman Mike Johnson, took the time to do nothing. “You can’t say enough about those days off,” Johnson said. “They do wonders for the middle

of the season.” However, the week was not without a fair amount of work and preparation, as the Tide gets ready for a mammoth match up against the No. 9 LSU Tigers that will almost certainly decide the winner of the SEC West. “I think we made some improvements as a team,” Saban said. “We had good focus on what we were doing…I felt like we really improved in areas we needed to make progress in.” The biggest area in need of progress has been on the offensive side of the ball. The Tide has seen offensive issues crop up in the past few weeks, with declining production both in yardage and touchdowns. Since a 38-point output against Kentucky in game five, Alabama has failed to score more than 22 points and has yet to post a 400-yard game since the 35-7 victory over Arkansas. “We looked at some of our base plays just trying to decide when we were successful and when we weren’t,” Johnson said. “I think we got some things ironed out.” “Obviously, we had a lot of areas we wanted to really focus on this past week,” McElroy said. “I feel strongly about the improvements that were made.” With the week to heal and revitalize, the Tide looks to have a new boost of energy for the final stretch of the season, where four games will determine a great deal how important the first eight were. But right now, there’s only the next one. “It’s a one-game season,” McClain said. “We’re going to CW | Jerrod Seaton prepare every day to get better because we’re about to face a very Greg McElroy hands the ball off to Mark Ingram during the Tideʼs 12-10 victory over Tengood team.” nessee.

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY

Bama repeats as SEC champs By Brian Bishop Staff Writer

For the first time in school history, the University of Alabama men’s cross country team has repeated as Southeastern Conference Champions. This is Alabama’s third conference title in history. With the SEC championships held at the Ole Miss Cross Country Course in Oxford, Miss., the No. 6 ranked Tide held on to a close victory that wasn’t decided until the end. Other than Arkansas, Alabama is the only team to repeat as SEC Champs since Tennessee in 1989-90. According to coach Joe Walker, the Tide didn’t have its strongest performance. “We knew we were the most talented team. We just had to go out and prove it,� Walker said. “We knew we really didn’t

put forth our best effort but in the end it was enough to get us the win.� Even through the soaked, puddle-ridden course that plagued Oxford all weekend, the Tide overcame the weather to capture the SEC title. “The team competed hard. Everyone that ran through all that muck and mud didn’t feel good,� Walker said. “When you run in that stuff it just doesn’t feel right, but they kept fighting,� Alabama had strong showings from its usual suspects in Moses Kiptoo, who placed sixth with a time of 24:57.75, and Tyson David who placed seventh with a time of 24:58.45. Both runners earned First Team All- SEC for their performances. “Moses handled the run pretty well,� Walker said. “He did a really good job for us.�

Music has the power to not only calm a student’s weary soul, but also enlighten it, as students will discover when the Capstone Chamber Orchestra performs at 7:30 p.m. in the Frank Moody Music Building. The Capstone Chamber Orchestra is comprised of students and community members. Two UA undergraduate students, Caleb Young and Norman Huynh, put the orchestra together. The concert will feature mezzo-soprano soloist Leslie Proctor and a variety of genres, Young said. He said the first half of the performance will

be a concert overture and then move to a more soloist-driven genre, the vocal aria. The orchestra consists of 30 musicians, and the aria was a nice type for this size group, Young said. After intermission, they shift gears all together and move to an even smaller group. Young said just the string players of the orchestra will be performing a string serenade. Huynh, former photo editor for the Crimson White, said the music will range from the classical period to the romantic period. The orchestra will perform the music of classical artists such as Mozart, Gluck and Dvorak. Young will conduct Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro,�

including “K. 492: Overture� and “Voi che sapete.� Young said Mozart’s music was essential to life itself. “The Overture and ‘Voi che sapete’ are a great pair because they come from the same Mozart opera, ‘Le Nozze di Figaro,’� Young said. “Both works are extremely famous and are performed quite often.� Young will also conduct Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice,� which plays off the myth of Orpheus, the greatest musician and poet in Greek legends. Huynh will conduct Dvorak’s “Serenade for Strings in E Major.� He said he chose this piece because he felt a connection to it. He said he knew this

‘Twilight’ songwriter plays Rhythm & Brews By Meghan Hollis Staff Writer Audiences at Rhythm & Brews are about to find out what a vampire’s serenade sounds like. English performer and songwriter Bobby Long will be featured at Rhythm & Brews Wednesday at 8 p.m. Long is best known for his song “Let Me Sign,� featured in the movie “Twilight.� Robert Pattinson, the film’s leading male, also performed the song for its soundtrack. Long got his lucky break while performing at open mic nights in London, where he became good friends with fellow musician Marcus Foster and the now famous Robert Pattinson. Collaborating with Foster, he wrote the song “Let Me Sign.� When Pattinson was cast for the role of Edward Cullen in “Twilight,� he presented the song to producers for a crucial scene in the movie. When the song was approved to feature in the film, attention turned to the two unsigned artists’ music, and soon Long and Foster were

playing sold out shows in London. Sharon Weisz, owner of W3 Public Relations in Los Angeles, provides some information as to how students can hear some of Long’s captivating music. “His 10-song collection of original acoustic material, called ‘Dirty Pond Songs,’ offers a taste into the world of poignant themes that permeate his songs,� Weisz said. “The CD is only available at shows or via his Myspace page.� According to The Boston Herald, Long has a likeable, rough-hewn voice, a catchy way with a chorus and a style that evokes early Bob Dylan. He also has a grasp of song - craft that belies his age. “I have been influenced by American music and artists that including Bob Dylan and Neil Young,� Long said. “I want to portray a lyrical style that’s honest and doesn’t hide behind anything. I want to bring it back to the ’60s by being alone on stage with nothing but the music.� Weisz said Long has packed clubs across the country in the months since “Twilight,� taking

He said he is most looking forward to conducting Dvorak since he and the orchestra have put much time and effort into it. Young is excited about the addition of mezzo-soprano soloist Proctor, who will perform alongside him in the pieces by Mozart and Gluck, he said. “Leslie Proctor is a voice to

be noticed,� Young said. Young said the musicianship that Proctor demands of herself is of the highest level. Concertgoers should expect to hear a well-rounded musical concert, Huynh said. He said the concert will provide an opportunity for the community to experience an hour of enjoyment while expanding musical knowledge.
