Freshmen acclimate quickly to college lifestyle By Deanne Winslett | Editor-in-Chief Congratulations. You’ve made the decision to join The University of Alabama as a freshman in the fall. As you integrate into this community, you’ll get a lot of advice thrown your way. You’ll probably think to yourself at least once, “What on earth have I gotten myself into?” When I moved to the University my freshman year and stepped into my new dorm in Rose Towers, which has since been demolished, I was a little overwhelmed. I was living in a new place, away from family, with three roommates - complete strang-
ers to me at the time - and I had no idea what I was in for. It’s easy to get overwhelmed as you make this transition. But the good news is, you aren’t alone. You’ll be surrounded by a couple thousand fellow freshman, all in the same boat. Before you know it, you’ll know where every building is on campus. You’ll know your favorite spots to sit and and take a break. You’ll know where to go when you need some quiet time to study. You’ll have those restaurants that you frequent and you’ll have your favorite snack stores. You’ll meet new people in your classes and in the
Deanne Winslett students groups you choose to join, and before you know it you’ll have built a family of friends on campus. The nervousness you felt on movein day will quickly become a
thing of the past as you step into Bryant-Denny Stadium for your first football game as a student. I joined The Crimson White my freshman year as a contributing writer, and now I’m here at my senior year with the opportunity to be the editor-in-chief of this publication. And while it’s been three years, it feels more like three minutes. Any upperclassmen will warn you about how quickly college flies by. Don’t rush this experience. Just take it one step at a time. You’ll be a UA pro before you know it. Welcome to The University of Alabama.

Crimson Tide Traditions Over the past 100 years at The University of Alabama, traditions have emerged and taken root in the rich crimson soil of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Traditions surrounding Crimson Tide football and culture at the University have developed as a result of dedication to academics, athletics, the arts, and other facets of UA’s past and present.
The Elephant and The Crimson Tide The University of Alabama’s mascot became know as the elephant in the 1930 season when Everett Stevens, a sports writer for the Atlanta Journal, wrote
UATRADTIONS
a piece about Alabama and Ole Miss. He referred to the team as the “Red Elephants,” a reference to the Alabama jersey’s and the size and aggressiveness of the players. Hugh Roberts, a sports writer for the Birmingham Age-Herald, developed the nickname “Crimson Tide” to reference the 1907 Alabama-Auburn game. Alabama white jerseys were stained red by the mud, and they tied Auburn 6-6 for the game, and the nickname “Crimson Tide” was born.

structure was constructed from Alabama limestone and Virginia bricks, a tribute to Denny’s home state. Denny Chimes is surrounded by bricks recognizing past University of Alabama football captains, dating as far back as the 1940s. Each one features a captain’s hand and footprint. The Walk of Champions, located at the front of Bryant-Denny Stadium, begins 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to kickoff. The football team is dropped off on the north side of the stadium at Bryant-Denny Stadium and proceeds to walk through the Walk of Champions. Fans come out to greet the team as they pass through and enter the stadium to get ready for the game.
A-Day and the Fight Song A-Day, the spring internal scrimmage between the white team and the crimson team, brings fans from all over the nation together to cheer on the new Crimson Tide recruits. Alabama’s fight song, “Yea, Alabama!” is played by the University’s Million Dollar Band after every touchdown made at football games and at other sporting events.
Growth and Academics George H. Denny ushered in an era of growth at The University of Alabama. When he became president in 1912, UA had 652 students with nine buildings. By the time Denny retired in 1936, the University had over 5,000 students on a campus housing 23 buildings. Similarly, the University experienced growth in the early 21st century. In 2003, Dr. Robert E. Witt became president of the University of Alabama. Starting with an enrollment of 20,333 students in 2003, the University grew to 34,284 total undergraduate and graduate students in 2013. Growth is a tradition at the University of Alabama. In their respective tenures, both Denny and Witt focused on growing enrollment from out-of-state and foreign exchange programs. The University’s football program expanded under Denny and Witt, drawing national attention and focus to Alabama’s oldest public university. The University of Alabama has consistently been ranked among the nation’s top 50 public universities by U.S. News and World Report for the last several years. The University offers over 200 fields of study in bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees and has a student/ faculty ratio that averages 19:1.

Two stadium traditions that all incoming freshmen need to know are the lyrics to Alabama’s fight song, “Yea, Alabama!” and the post-victory song, “Rammer Jammer.”
“Yea, Alabama!” Yea, Alabama! Drown ‘em Tide! Every Bama man’s behind you; Hit your stride! Go teach the Bulldogs to behave, Send the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave! And if a man starts to weaken, That’s a shame!

Dana Duckworth takes over as gymnastics coach By Sean Landry | Sports Editor New Alabama gymnastics coach Dana Duckworth doesn’t have a championship ring from the 2011 season, despite serving as the assistant coach during the team’s 5th championship season. Instead of a ring, the former Alabama gymnast and two-time balance beam national champion ordered a pendant, large, silver and jewel-encrusted, just like the 2012 championship ring that she does wear. “I did that by design,” Duckworth said. “So when I was recruiting, I have both on my body.” It’s that recruiting acumen, along with a history of success in the gym and in business, that Duckworth and former gymnastics coach Sarah Patterson hope will help create a seamless transition between the storied coach and her longtime student and assistant. Along with Duckworth’s promotion, former assistant coach Bryan Raschilla will serve as associate head coach. “Bryan was incredible today,” Duckworth said. “The way he handled the news, the way he was honored to recieve the associate head coaching title and everything. To me, his response is that we will do this together as a team.” Patterson endorsed Duckworth and Raschilla, her longtime assistants, for the head coaching posts. “Dana has always been a great role model for our ladies,” Patterson said. “She enjoyed tremendous success in all aspects of her Alabama career, and her championship experience is an invaluable resource as she and Bryan move this program into the future.” Duckworth came to Alabama in 1989 as a student-athlete on Sarah and David
Dana Duckworth. CW / Pete Pajor Patterson’s gymnastics team. After graduation, Duckworth coached youth gymnastics part-time in Dallas. After returning to Alabama for her MBA, Duckworth spent several years working in various Alabama businesses, eventually returning to Tuscaloosa with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. During that time, Duckworth worked as a volunteer coach with the Crimson Tide, eventually turning to full-time coach in 2008 at the Pattersons’ request. “The greatest part of that is the sales training that I received for the 12 weeks I had it,” Duckworth said. “To me, recruiting is selling your program. It’s selling The University of Alabama. It was an easy transition to go from selling your product to selling your alma mater.” Duckworth said she takes the charge to carry on the Pattersons’ legacy seriously. That legacy includes 6 national championships, 8 SEC Championships, perennial championship contention and a dynasty that is second on campus only to Alabama football.
“It’s a lot harder to maintain something than to build something,” Duckworth said. “I think the fact that if we can continue to maintain the standard of excellence in the classroom, on the competition floor and later in life with postgraduate scholarships, we can continue to grow and we can continue to win on the highest level, then I don’t think anyone would look back and say ‘That was a bad turnout.’” Duckworth’s recruiting ability will be put to the test early as she attempts to fill the assistant coaching vacancy left by her promotion. “Our coaching community is tight and it’s small,” Duckworth said. “When I sat down to make a list of potential candidates that are at existing schools, it is even smaller than I thought. I have friendships with a lot of assistant coaches, and it may not be that an assistant coach is the way to go at a current program. It may be to go to a smaller school and look at a head coach that may be willing to come to a caliber program like Alabama. There’s also the option of some amazing club coaches that are great people... We’ll find somebody fantastic.” Duckworth comes to a a program that has historically topped the nation in attendance. Gymnastics meets have become a winter event, not unlike Saturday afternoon football games in the fall. Duckworth said she hopes to retain the support of the Alabama student body which has helped forge a home undefeated streak that dates back to the 2009 season. “To everyone, to our student athletes, our staff and our tremendous fans - the best fans in the world - I challenge us to embrace this legacy, to accept this challenge and, with great passion, create the next chapter of greatness for Alabama gymnastics,” Duckworth said.
An open letter from Dana Duckworth
Dana Duckworth. CW / Pete Pajor
This is a bittersweet time for me. Sarah and David Patterson are THE legends when it comes to Alabama Gymnastics. They built this program into a national powerhouse that succeeded in every aspect of the collegiate experience. And now it is up to us, starting with the 2015 team, to carry that tradition of excellence forward. One thing that will not change is our goal to be on the floor, the last night of
the season with a chance to win a championship. Another thing that will not change as we pursue greatness, is that we have to have the support of our students! From the very beginning, Sarah knew the importance of each of you, in the stands of Coleman Coliseum, cheering on our ladies. You have lifted us to amazing heights over the years and now more than ever, we need you to keep that legacy going with
passion and excitement. To the freshmen, welcome to the University of Alabama, you will make a difference … as an alumni, I can tell you that this is the best place in America to compete in front of the home crowd. And to all our students, we can’t wait to see you in Coleman Coliseum this January as we strive to bring another championship back to the best fans in the world. Roll Tide!

University of Alabama Policy Guide Hazing
Grounds Use
“The University does not condone hazing, regardless of its form.” It can be reported at the Hazing and Harassment Hotline (205-348-HALT), the Office of the Dean of Students, Office of Student Conduct, UAPD and online (www.hazing.ua.edu/ report.cfm#top).
The use of University grounds and facilities requires sponsorship by a UA department or registered organization and approval by designated officials. Most events require 10 working days to coordinate, but if multiple University departments (tents, food service, UAPD, electrical service, etc.) are not required, efforts will be made to review the request in as few as three days. If an event is spontaneous - that is, because of factors that came into public knowledge in the last two days - or a counter-protest, in response to an approved event, efforts will be made to review an expedited request in 24 hours.
Final Exams The tentative exam schedule for Fall 2014 is available at registrar.ua.edu/academics/finalexam-schedules/fall-2014-final-exam-schedule/. If a student has three or more exams scheduled on the same day or two exams scheduled at the same time, they can petition for rescheduling.

Finals season lasts two weeks, football season three months – and farmer’s market season for Homegrown Alabama lasts six months. And like studying for finals or tailgating, it often comes with competitions, food and photography. “Market events typically involves free recipe demonstrations and recipe cards, recipe competitions among customers, games, crafts [and] a photo booth,” Co-Market Manager Powell said. “They’re all a little different, but are always fun and keep things interesting.” Powell said Homegrown Alabama’s student population keeps it fresh and changing. The biggest change over the past year has been new leadership, she said. “Homegrown Alabama is a student group, so every few years the leadership changes over as people graduate and leave Tuscaloosa. That keeps the ideas flowing and injects new life into the market,” she said. “Next May, Calee and I will both graduate, and leadership will change over again. I think that it is great that there is always potential for new ideas and management strategies as people come through.” This year, she said, Homegrown Alabama aims to increase its partnerships with other student organizations. “All of our members are studying different things, and not all of us are in programs of study that focus on food or sustainability,” she said. “I think it makes sense for us to collaborate with other groups on campus to help them get the word out for their cause and to help Homegrown reach a broader audience.” On a community level, Powell said, the market both educates and unites a diverse group. “All kinds of different people shop at the market. Some of them are students, faculty, members of the community, kids, parents, high school students – all kinds of people outside of the college crowd,” she said. “It’s a fun way to meet new friends, and you get the opportunity to talk to the farmers who have produced the food customers are there to buy.”

Fresh Foods, Ferg expand
CW / Pete Pajor
The Ferguson Center, completed in 1973, last saw significant renovation in 2012, when the largest Starbucks in the United States opened on its ground floor. Over this past summer, however, construction and renovation have brought change to the SupeStore across from the Starbucks and expanded the center. The Fresh Food Company that once accompanied a food court will be a Chick-Fil-A. When it fully reopens in August, the Ferguson Center will be 58,000 square feet larger and contain new dining options for students. The expansion will house offices for the Career Center, Community Service Center, Crossroads Community Center, Greek Affairs, Student Government Association, Student Involvement and Leadership and University Programs. The renovated dining options will still include Subway and Topio’s Pizza but now also houses Wendy’s, Panda Express and Auntie Anne’s Pretzels. The SupeStore was also renovated over the summer, though it, the Mail Center and Starbucks remained open. The Ferguson Center also contains a computer lab, ballroom, theater, Alabama Credit Union location and art gallery. Fresh Food Company, previously located within the Ferguson Center, will now be located on Margaret Drive near Rogers Library. It will open in Fall 2014.
