Board signs off on Bell’s nomination Bell to focus on research, recruitment as president By Kelly Ward | Managing Editor
The first night Stuart Bell and his wife Susan were in Tuscaloosa, they had a late dinner before deciding to walk around the campus. The two made their way to the Quad where they saw two or three groups of students still hanging around after classes. They talked with a couple of students along the sidewalk. “It really felt right, and it felt really good to be back on campus,” Bell said. Bell, who was confirmed by the Board of Trustees on Thursday, June 18, as the next University of Alabama president effective July 15, spent 16 years at the University. He started as an assistant professor in mechanical engineering and worked his way up to head of the department. After 13 years away from Tuscaloosa, with stints at the University of Kansas and LSU, Bell is back. “I have always watched Alabama, SEE BELL PAGE 9

Interns learn 3-D printing techniques 3-D printing certification offered at Rodgers Library By Jeremy Connor | Contributing Writer
Fourteen students met in Rodgers Library last Friday to learn about the basics of 3-D printing and to watch The University of Alabama’s professional equipment begin to create real models of molecules. Vincent Scalfani, an assistant professor and science and engineering librarian, led the participants in an informational session on the topic of 3-D printing, utilizing a computer lab called Scholars’ Station located in the back of Rodgers Library. “3-D printing is an additive
manufacturing process,” Scalfani said. “Essentially what this means is that objects are built by adding layers together. 3-D printing can create objects through a variety of methods and materials such as melting plastic or solidifying resins with ultraviolet light.” When asked about who can use the 3-D printing equipment, Scalfani said, “All UA students, faculty and staff. Our equipment, as well as plastic consumable material, is completely free to use after a short training course offered by Rodgers Library.” After becoming acquainted with how 3-D printing works, the interns moved to the 3-D printing lab to learn how to use the machinery and watch the equipment at work. After selecting a particularly complex model to print, the students

Scalfani told the group the model would take about 15 hours to become a finished product. The students asked a variety of questions while waiting for the printer to start. Among them was, “Can you print a 3-D printer with a 3-D printer?” As it turns SEE 3-D PAGE 20

Gallalee hosts viewing By Patrick Smith | Contributing Writer
Look up and gaze at the night sky and all of its beauty. Astronomers have said this for a long time and the month of June has been no exception. In what tends to happen only every decade or two, Venus and Jupiter will appear in close proximity to one another and will be visible to the naked eye. “This will be the closest conjunction of Jupiter and Venus we’ve been able to see since 1999,” said William Keel, UA professor of physics and astronomy. Although the two planets will look relatively similar in size through a telescope, Jupiter is actually more than 10 times the size of Venus. This is due to the fact that they are around 516 million miles away from each other. The last time an event like this happened we had our previous telescope, Keel said. “You’ve got the two brightest things in the night sky that have been edging closer to each other for months now,” Keel said. Students and visitors are invited to go to the Gallalee Hall observatory to view the pair through the University’s 16-inch, research grade telescope.

Museum Expedition offers archeological summer camps Students traveled from all corners of the country to take part in a scientific summer camp hosted by the Alabama Museum of Natural History over the last two weeks. High school and middle school students from all across country traveled down to Greene County, Alabama, to take part in the expedition, which was “an effort to provide hands-on scientific field research in the areas of paleontology, archaeology and practical ecology.” The museum expedition was designed to offer the participant an opportunity to work side-by-side with professional researchers on an actual field project,” according to the camp’s website. The camp consisted of the two oneweek terms, with the first week open to middle school students and the second week open to high school students. The camp was founded in 1979 and continues to provide a quality hands-on scientific experience to students. Dana Ehret, a paleontologist at the University of Alabama, helped lead the camp over the span of two weeks guiding a group of nearly 20 students during each week on the field. The days consisted of extensive all-day digging in known fossil bearing fields in Greene County and lec-

tures during the night covering paleontological topics. “We found hundreds of fossils that week,” Ehret said. “Most of them being nearly 80 million years old. We found everything from fossil shark teeth, shark vertebra, fish teeth and a fish skull.” The find of the week came from a 12-year-old camp attendee, who discovered a large vertebra of an Elasmosauridae, a large marine dinosaur reaching up to 45 feet. Much of the vertebra of the extinct creature had been found years before at the same camp. Elasmosauridae come from a family of dinosaurs that became extinct nearly 65 million years ago, according to the release from the original discovery.

Charleston tragedy redefines Southern story By Leigh Terry and Mark Hammontree
Somewhere in our Southern home, children are burying their parents. Somewhere in our Southern home, a congregation is laying to rest its pastor. Somewhere in our Southern home their alleged killer awaits his day in court. The South as a region is misunderstood. Outsiders often think of us as clinging tightly to our guns, our football and our religion. Even worse, they see us clinging to our haunted past and our prejudices. The South’s story is still dominated by Scarlet and Rhett, by Lee and by Forrest. The tragedy that happened last week in Charleston, South Carolina, could have reinforced those notions. A racist white killer shot nine black men and women in their own church, a church in a city residents call the “Holy City.” And while the U.S. and South Carolina flags fly at half-mast in mourning, the Confederate flag still flies above that state’s capitol. And still, some state and national politicians hesitate to call it a racially motivated crime. This story had all the makings of another cautionary tale about the South. Another chapter in a region
too mired in its “Lost Cause” to recognize how broken things still are. And while things are broken, and while these murders reveal a lingering cancer of hate, another side to the story exists. The man who killed nine people that night at Emanuel AME Church did so with the intent of tearing the community apart and starting a “race war.” Instead, the people of Charleston stood defiant in the face of those who would see them turn against each other in fear and anger, neighbor against neighbor. On Friday, family members who lost loved ones extended forgiveness to the man accused of their murders. On Sunday, the pews of all the city’s places of worship spilled over with citizens of all races seeking solace. Together. When the entire world expected to watch them weep and curse their fate, they sang joyful praises to a higher power. Together. They laid flowers at the foot of Emanuel AME Church. Together. In the wake of tragedy, Charleston showed the country the only way to combat the hatred that had hurt their community. They loved one another. One can only hope that their spirit is more than a momentary

outpouring of emotion. The South needs and deserves a true and complete reconciliation. To do that, we must all come to grips with both the triumphs and the horrors of our past, and still harder, we must learn to show empathy to our neighbors and a desire to understand. We have to give up the myths we’ve constructed to cover the sins of our pasts, and we have to acknowledge that there is still room for pride and history in our identities, individual and collective. The Southern story is complex and difficult, but each generation has the ability to pen a new chapter. Let the new chapter reflect a new South that includes the voices overshadowed and absent from our past. Let the response of the people in Charleston provide a template for the fresh page. Maybe, if we can grasp the spirit of Charleston we can summon the empathy and bravery to face our longterm, systemic problems, and create a new Southern story we can all be proud of. Somewhere in our Southern home, a new dawn rises over a united people. Leigh Terry is a senior majoring in Economics. Mark Hammontree is a senior majoring in secondary education - language arts.

Normally, taking anything from LSU other than a win leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. However, with the hiring of Dr. Stuart Bell this month, I believe that we as students at Alabama have something worth celebrating on more than just a week-to-week basis. Long before Dr. Bell was serving as executive vice president and provost at LSU, he was leaving his mark in the field of engineering, ultimately becoming the head of the Engineering Department at the University of Kansas. Dr. Bell’s scientific background is great for The University of Alabama. In Dr. Bell’s tenure at LSU, he oversaw all research – a job that I’m sure was enriched by his engineering background. His career highlights boast new and improved engineering and chemistry buildings. His involvement seemed to help take LSU off the ground, and I’m intrigued to learn more about his specific visions for our programs. The future is bright because, as in the case of so many, Dr. Bell also did some of his best work at the Capstone, establishing our Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies and toting a hefty suitcase of awards with him on his way to Lawrence, Kansas. With our increased commitment to research and increased recruiting of high quality students, the University has added credibility to its self-description as “the South’s premier student-centered, research university.” We have managed to achieve an increasing researchaward-to-research-expenditure ratio, to lead the country in incoming National Merit Finalists, and we boast one of the elite STEM programs in the country. There is certainly a lot to be proud of, and I think that the best is yet to come. Granted, I’m even more excited because of my science course load and research involvement. On the non-research side of things, I am interested to see how Dr. Bell maintains balance at The University of Alabama – in state versus out of state, Greek versus nonGreek, as well as tuition costs and student enrollment. I love the idea of the University internally expanding the breadth of programs and career planning options that it offers. Ultimately, Dr. Bell will see to it what happens with the other half of Tuscaloosa that we practically own. We’re 10,000 students richer now, and further growth might make traffic even worse, but I won’t ask him to do anything about that because I’ve already given up hope of a short ride off of campus. In all seriousness, Dr. Bell faces the task of maintaining and improving the quality of education at Alabama, while our state is handing out smaller and smaller budget appropriations for public education, a problem whose solution Dr. Bonner mentioned as integral to the future of the Capstone. Although this will be our fourth president in the last decade, I feel that the others have laid a welcoming foundation for Dr. Bell. With our resources, both academic and not, we have the ability to become a premier studentcentered, research university of the nation, not just of the South.

Biblical standards have no place in government decision on marriage
KYLE A.
Simpson Staff Columnist
With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to rule on same-sex-marriage any day now, and most pundits expecting a decision that is favorable to homosexual Americans, many opponents of equal rights are planning to defy the high court’s decision. Over 50,000 people – including the beleaguered Duggar family of TLC stardom and presidential hopefuls Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee – have signed a statement saying they will refuse to honor a decision that violates their “clear biblical understanding of marriage.” Apparently, they would have U.S. law always coincide with their own religious beliefs. It’s odd that two presidential hopefuls and over 50,000 other people are in need of a basic civics lesson on the First Amendment, but I suspect it’s more of a willful ignorance than
a genuine misunderstanding. Same-sex marriage opponents often champion a “biblical understanding of marriage.” Besides being a religious argument and thus an insufficient justification on its own to uphold a law in the United States, this idea of “traditional” marriage is an obsolete concept, anyway. Marriage has always been evolving, and a “traditional” marriage has been everything from a business transaction between families, to women being essentially the property of their husbands in the U.S., as recently as the 19th century — not to mention the fact that biblical heroes of the Old Testament didn’t even subscribe to the “one woman” philosophy. Simply put, there is no such thing as “traditional” marriage, and there is no rational, non-biblical reason to justify denying homosexual Americans equal rights. The mainstream of opposition to same-sex marriage usually argues that it violates the religious “sanctity” of the institution that they claim

has always been between one man and one woman, and thus should be illegal. The problem with this reasoning is that the government has no role in creating laws based on Christian ideas of “sanctity” any more than it has a role carrying out orders of an Ayatollah. A secular society like the United States must treat all of its citizens the same, including the ones that happen to not subscribe to a traditional Christian view of marriage, or a Muslim view of marriage, or anything else. Granting same-sex couples civil unions isn’t enough, either, as that solution ignores what marriage in the United States really is. State-sanctioned marriage is a social, cultural and economic part of most people’s lives, and it’s impossible to understate its importance for families. Granting homosexual couples a “separate but equal” status simply isn’t true equality. To relegate them to the status of second-class citizens is unfair to them, their families and most

importantly their children, who are statistically more successful if their parents are married. Many of the politicians that claim to champion family values first and foremost, but are anti-marriage rights – including nearly all of the contenders for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination – should think about that. Marriage is not just a religious sacrament anymore. It is an integral part of the modern family. A favorable Supreme Court ruling will not force churches to perform or even recognize same-sex marriages. The sun will still rise the next day, and pigs will not gain the ability to fly. If the Duggars, Huckabees and Santorums of the world want to continue to live by their antiquated prejudices, then they will be perfectly free to do so. However, the United States will be made stronger when all of its citizens are treated equally under the law, and the religious qualms of a few have no place in the laws of our country. It’s 2015, and it’s time for same-sex marriage to be legal in all 50 states. Kyle Simpson is a junior majoring in biology. His column runs biweekly.

6 Music therapy students work outside school NEWS
Wednesday, June 24, 2015
By Brett Dunn | Contributing Writer
When the word therapy is mentioned, many people think of physical rehabilitation. But at The University of Alabama and other universities across the nation, students are studying a different type of therapeutics. Alabama is part of a growing group of universities that offers a program in music therapy. According to its website, the American Music Therapy Association defines music therapy as “the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.” Ellary Draper, an assistant professor of music therapy at Alabama, said music therapy can be used as a tool for improving speech, fine motor skills or even walking. “Occasionally we have a musical goal, but generally we’re focusing on the nonmusical goal,” Draper said. ”[As a music therapist] I’m not so concerned that a child is singing on pitch, I’m concerned that they’re singing the word correctly. I’m not so concerned that an older adult is playing an instrument correctly, but that they’re approximating that range of motion that their physical therapist has said ‘we need to work on this.’” Emily Butler, a freshman majoring in
music therapy, said she has been interested in music therapy since she was in middle school. “I never really thought that it would be something that could happen for me,” Butler said. “I went to a pediatric mental health conference and saw a boardcertified music therapist do a presentation, and I realized that I wanted to do it for the rest of my life.” Butler said she became more involved in her school band and worship team at church to have more musical experience so she could be more prepared for the program. Kristen van Caulil, a senior majoring in music therapy, said her mother first introduced her to music therapy. “I was interested in doing something research based, but I wanted to keep music in my life,” van Caulil said. “Music therapy combines music and research, so it was the perfect match.” Draper said music therapy students take many courses covering a variety of subjects in order to prepare them for a career as a music therapist. After their last semester of classes, students must complete a six-month long internship before they officially receive their degrees. Then they must pass a board examination so they can be certified by the Certification Board for Music Therapists to work in their profession.The CBMT was

formed in 1983 and gave the first board examination in 1985. The CBMT awards the credential Music Therapist-Board Certified. More than 5,000 individuals hold this credential, according to the American Music Therapy Association website. “Our professors are very well versed in the requirements for becoming board certified as a music therapist,” van Caulil said. “Each class focuses on certain aspects of the exam. Our freshman year classes start with more broad topics that gradually become more specific until senior year.”
Beginning in their freshman year, Alabama students go out in the community and interact with clients. The students lead the sessions as juniors and seniors. Music therapists use instruments, rhythms and songs during sessions to stimulate different parts of a patient’s brain to help heal and improve cognitive processes. “Our sessions as students give us the opportunity to work with different populations and settings in order to see what we want to focus on in our internship or our jobs after internship,” sophomore Victoria Morrow said. Van Caulil recalled a memorable session she was leading for relaxation and breathing techniques. “I had all the clients, recreational therapists and nurses in the room close their eyes during the activity. At the end, I said ‘Imagine someone you love and care for is sitting next to you. Now imagine them telling you that what you’re doing here is good and important and that they love you and miss you.’ I had expected some of the clients to get emotional,” she said. “But what I didn’t expect was when one of the nurses began to cry.” Van Caulil said she realized she affects more than the clients and patients in the sessions she conducts. “I will always keep that memory with me wherever I go for a session.”

7 CERN Large Hadron Collider recommissioned NEWS Wednesday, June 24, 2015
By Patrick Smith | Contributing Writer
LHC, we hope these even higher energy collisions may reveal to us evidence for something new, perhaps supersymmetry or extra dimensions of space.” This supersymmetry Henderson refers to is a theory that hypothesizes the existence of more massive partners of the standard particles we know, and could facilitate the unification of fundamental forces. “Some of the biggest discoveries in physics have come thanks to the LHC and the scientists working on it,” said Shaun Hogan, an undergraduate physics major at the University of Alabama who works with Henderson on LHC research projects. “Nobody knows exactly what we’ll find with these new collisions, but I think it’s safe to say that something is out there waiting to be discovered.” According to CERN, the LHC is a particle accelerator that pushes protons near to the speed of light. It consists of a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures that boost the energy of the particles. Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, a heavy particle believed to give mass to elementary particles such as electrons and quarks, was only the first chapter of the LHC story, the restarting of the machine, operating at double the energy of its first run, marks the beginning of a new adventure. The LHC is expected to operate for the next 20 years.
On June 3, the world of physics took a great leap forward. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, started delivering data for the first time in over two years. Since the shutdown and months of recommissioning, the LHC, near Geneva, Switzerland, is now providing collisions to all of its experiments at the unprecedented energy of 13 TeV, almost double the collision energy of its first run, according to a CERN release. “With the LHC back in collision-production mode, we celebrate the end of two months of beam commissioning,” said Frederick Bordry, CERN Director of Accelerators and Technology. “It is a great accomplishment and a rewarding moment for all of the teams involved in the work performed during the long shutdown of the LHC, in the powering tests and in the beam commissioning process. All these people have dedicated so much of their time to making this happen.” Two University of Alabama assistant professors of physics and astronomy, Paolo Rumerio and Conor Henderson, were working on the LHC when the collisions happened. “These record high energy collisions will open up a new chapter in the story of particle physics,” Henderson said. “After discovering the Higgs boson already at the

Students in any discipline understand the important role internships play in kickstarting their careers. Knowing this, many aspiring professionals take positions that sacrifice pay for experience, or vice versa. In the UA Department of Advertising and Public Relations, this compromise is unnecessary for recipients of the Munson Grant. Every year the College of Communication and Information Sciences selects two to three students to receive the grant. The money comes through as a grant, but it is earned in the form of an internship with a local nonprofit, which otherwise could not afford to hire an intern. Provided by the Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation every year since 2008, the grant is not bestowed lightly. Last year there were two recipients, and in all previous years only one individual received the grant. This year three students have been given the opportunity to pursue internships through the program. Hopeful students must be
WHAT TO KNOW • Every year, select APR students get a grant from the Munson Foundation • Recipients take an internship with a local nonprofit nominated by a faculty member before their applications are subsequently reviewed by a committee of faculty members. Students then face a final interview with Joseph Phelps, professor and chairman of advertising and public relations. “Over the years, the program has played a tremendous role both in giving students unique and valuable experiences and in results for the nonprofits,” Phelps said. “The Munson Foundation really cares about conservation and water resources, and groups like the Cahaba River Society and Black Warrior Riverkeeper could use the help of a skilled intern in their PR departments.” One such intern is Kristen Ellis, a senior majoring in public relations who works with
Black Warrior Riverkeeper, a local nonprofit which identifies major pollution problems and works on cleaning them up while increasing public awareness, according to its website. “I’m working with them for the summer doing a variety of PR-related functions,” Ellis said. “I’ve represented them at a farmers market, just raising awareness and encouraging people to get involved. I’ve written for press releases, social media and displays at events.” Most recently, Ellis made an informational display board explaining everything Black Warrior Riverkeeper does, to be shared at various events. This includes the fall Phish concert at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, where the organization will be the official charity represented by Phish in its promotional efforts. The grant is just one of the Munson Foundation’s ways of giving back to Alabama and the Southeast region where, Phelps said, it has its roots. This symbiotic relationship between the foundation, the University and local nonprofits has and will continue to make an impact in the local community.
STUDY ABROAD | PERU
Frederick experiences Peru Editor’s note: In each issue this summer, The Crimson White will publish a column written by a student who is studying abroad in order to share their experiences in a foreign country. By Kayla Frederick
Cusco, Peru, is a truly incredible place and I’ve been lucky to study here for the past three weeks with a UA affiliate program, CISabroad. My program consists of six U.S. credit hours, three for Spanish and three for an elective of your choice ranging from Business in Latin America, to Photography, to Contemporary Peruvian Culture and Society, which I am taking through the University of San Ignacio de Loyola at the satellite campus here in Cusco. The language and culture I am learning about in my classes surround me. For example the Qorikancha, or the Incan temple of the sun that the Spanish conquistadores built a church on top of, is just down the street from my University. By far the most rewarding part of my experience studying abroad is living with a host family. Not only does it challenge and improve my Spanish daily, but it enhances

my Peruvian experience. I have a cute little sister and rabbit named Ponpon here, and I get to see how everyday life really is in Cusco. It also doesn’t hurt that I’m eating my host mom’s delicious homemade flan as I write this. Besides the classes and my home life, I have met other students from all over the country, as well as a surprise fellow Alabamian. Being together in classes, exploring the city, the Peruvian Amazon, the Sacred Valley and this weekend, Machu Picchu have built amazing friendships and we all plan to road trip across the U.S. to keep in touch once this amazing study abroad trip comes to a close all too soon.

because you know their programs well and you always want the institutions you’ve been at to continue to do well, and really, Alabama has done great through the expansion programs and the leadership that took Alabama to where it is today,” Bell said. “It’s been a great story.” Bell served as the executive vice president and provost at LSU. He was in contact about the job to succeed outgoing president Judy Bonner most of the spring semester. The process to bring Bell to Alabama was long and brought about a difficult decision for Bell, who enjoyed his time in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He wasn’t looking to make a move when he was approached about the job. He said the opportunity was unexpected, but going through the process of learning about the position helped him make his decision. “The more I learned about the process, the more I could see myself in that role, and it was pretty exciting,” Bell said. At LSU, he oversaw academic, research and student programs, and the fiscal demands of these programs. He spent three years in Baton Rouge, and the University emphasized recruiting and research while Bell was provost.
While Bell was in Tuscaloosa for the Board of Trustees meeting, he met with some of the leaders of Alabama’s student body. “Being able to interact with the students is so important because the reason I got in, I think the reason most people work with higher education, is because of the students,” Bell said. “I just love working with the students to help the students achieve their aspirations that they have for their lives.” Bell said interacting with students isn’t something to pass the time. “I need to have that interaction with students so we’ll continue to do that,” he said. The University has worked to center itself on research and has expanded the campus with new additions like the engineering quad and new labs. Bell has a background in STEM research with a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering and master’s and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering, all from Texas A&M. He said continuing to grow Alabama’s research reputation is a focus of his. “It will be very centric to our faculty,” Bell said. “More specific than that, what I’m going to need to do is obviously go in and visit with the deans, visit with the vice president of research, see where we are, look at the strategy that we already have in place that will help us to build that, and I know there is a great interest in that by our faculty.” Along with the approval of Bell as the next University president, the Board

of Trustees approved a tuition hike of $177 per semester for in-state students and $500 a semester for out-of-state students, according to The Tuscaloosa News. The board approved a similar tuition increase last year. “We need to work as hard as we can to keep our tuition accessible to our students,” Bell said. “Certainly, if we were to raise our tuition very high so that we didn’t have any students, we wouldn’t have a very good impact on our mission, so that’s something we need to make sure we’re being efficient, and we’re making good use of both the state dollars and the tuition dollars that the students are paying that we deliver the education. “We’ll continue to focus on quality, focus on efficiency.” For all of Bell’s experience at other universities – degrees from Texas A&M and work at Kansas and LSU – there’s no concern that come football season his allegiance won’t be with his current SEC school. “My loyalties are with the students, and I really mean that,” Bell said. “I see the students, I will see our student-athletes on the sidewalks.

10 Bentley vetoes budget cuts, keeps park open Editor | Laura Testino culture@cw.ua.edu Wednesday, June 24, 2015
By Mary Catherine Hodges | Staff Reporter
State park employees, advocates and patrons can breathe and return to enjoying their respective posts in the outdoors. Earlier this month, Gov. Robert Bentley vetoed the state legislature’s budget bill that scheduled to shut down multiple state parks. In April, the Alabama Legislature proposed budget cuts that would close 15 of Alabama’s state parks by the end of the fiscal year 2016. One of the 15 parks scheduled to close was Lake Lurleen outside Tuscaloosa in Coker. The parks scheduled to close were those not making adequate revenue. As of June 18, the State Park Funding Crisis blog stated the bill was vetoed by Bentley and thus has eased the concerns of the closure of state parks. “The Governor vetoed the legislature’s budget bill which included cash transfers that would have come from State Park,” the alapark.com post said. “With the veto of this budget bill our immediate concerns about park closures has been relieved.” The proposition from state legislators was to transfer funding from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to other state departments and agencies. The legislation was scheduled to transfer $11.4 million from the
department’s budget appropriation and divert it to the state’s general fund. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is responsible for the management of state parks, state land, wildlife and aquatic resources. The result of the proposed budget would have been $10.4 million – of the $11.4 million – taken from state parks and over 300 jobs cut throughout the park system. Of the 22 state parks in Alabama, the proposed cuts would shut down 15 parks: Bladon Springs, Chickasaw, Buck’s Pocket, Paul Grist, Florala, Blue Springs, Roland Cooper, Rickwood Caverns, Cheaha, Lake Lurleen, DeSoto, Lakepoint, Guntersville, Joe Wheeler and Frank Jackson, leaving only seven parks remaining: Meaher, Wind Creek, Chewacla, Monte Sano, Cathedral Caverns, Oak Mountain and Gulf State Park. If the state closed the park at Lake Lurleen – formally scheduled to shut down October 1 – it would be handed over to the city of Northport who would then decide if it would be able to effectively fund the continuation of the park. Lake Lurleen State Park is situated on a 250-acre lake, offering visitors fishing and swimming opportunities. The park also has 23 miles of multi-use trails for hiking and mountain biking, a nature center and over 90 campsites with water,

electricity and bathhouses, making them suitable for RV’s and traditional tent camping. “We’ll have dozens of people who call daily asking if the park is closed,” said Rosemary Burnette, Lake Lurleen Park Supervisor. “As of now, Lake Lurleen is open and operating normally.” The budget crisis and threat to close 15 state parks sparked mass controversy among state legislators, government agencies, park patrons, statewide newspapers, park staff and community members, many of whom advocated to keep parks open.
In the midst of the threat, nonprofit campaigns and organizations like the Alabama State Parks Partners Coalition formed to encourage citizens to take advantage of the parks in order to raise revenue and safeguard the parks from further legislation. For park patron Drew Shannon of Fayette, Alabama, the threat of state parks closing is unsettling. “My wife and I came to Lake Lurleen for the first time today, and it’s been so beautiful and relaxing,” Shannon said. “It’d be a true shame if they took these parks away from us.”

11 The Rude Mechanicals to perform ‘Pericles’ CULTURE Wednesday, June 24, 2015
By Katherine Metcalf | Contributing Writer
The Rude Mechanicals, a local Shakespeare in the park company, will soon return to the Park at Manderson Landing for the second show of their summer season with nothing less than sword fighters and pirates. The company’s production of “Pericles” begins Wednesday, and continues with one performance each evening through Saturday. The Rude Mechanicals theatre company has been putting on outdoor productions since 2003, and is composed of current undergraduate and graduate students at the University, as well as some faculty and staff. Local actors are also featured in some casts. Mark Hughes Cobb, the director of “Pericles,” said the play is not only entertaining but also reveals themes that are relatable to the audience. “‘Pericles’ is about a young prince that is looking for a wife, but runs into many disasters,” Cobb said. “[Pericles] shows how a good man can fail, but how the world is still a good place.” The bold romance features a prince who wants to marry the king’s daughter, but runs into adversity when he encounters a major secret. Adventures ensue as Pericles travels the seas over the next several years, which provides the audi-

ence with drama, pirates, murders, scandals and more. Although the the play has a complex plot, it also has comedy that the audience will enjoy, Cobb said. “[‘Pericles’] has a little bit of everything,” he said. “It goes from one extreme to the other.” Jordan DeWitt, a senior majoring in theatre, plays Pericles. “It is fun to play [Pericles] because he is a courageous
action hero,” DeWitt said. Within the dramedic nature of the play is the recurring symbolism of family. “The play is about wish fulfillment,” Cobb said. “Pericles also learns that family is the most important [value].” DeWitt said the audience will be surprised when they see the show because it is not like the typical Shakespearean play. This may be contributed to the fact that it is one of Shakespeare’s last plays, to which the Bard only contributed the last half. Studies indicate that George Wilkins wrote the first half of the play. “It is a very surprising Shakespearean experience because there are pirates, hookers and assassins,” DeWitt said. Cobb said he wants the audience to feel good when they come and see his shows. “The outdoor theatre gives people freedom to relax themselves,” he said. “It’s a different experience.” While outside, people are able to have picnics, catch fireflies and enjoy
the moon shining while they watch an entertaining show. “It is a pleasant experience for people to come out and enjoy theatre out in the sunset,” DeWitt said. The Rude Mechanicals Company has had successful performances for the past 13 years, largely due in part to the casts’s great chemistry on and off the stage. The company also has people who really make the music, lighting and the wardrobe special for the show. “The costumes are really beautiful, plus the audience will love the live music,” Cobb said. The company’s main goal is to give people a great theatre experience in a comfortable environment. "[Rude Mechanicals] likes to give its plays very straightforward, simple feelings for the audience,” Cobb said. Each show begins at the Park at 8 p.m. with live music playing beforehand at 7:30 p.m. Admission to the show is free. The performance will be relocated to the Allen Bales Theatre in the event of rain.

Musical scores essential to films By Drew Pendleton
On the night of June 22, 2015, the film industry lost a true legend when composer James Horner died in a plane crash outside of Santa Barbara, California. As the news broke, tributes came flowing in from contributors and fans alike, from five-time co-worker Ron Howard to “The Conjuring” director James Wan. After a career that spanned almost 40 years and gave a distinct sound to films ranging from epics like “Braveheart” and “Titanic” to “Jumanji” and “Balto,” the loss of Horner is one that’s deeply felt throughout recent film history. That being said, if Horner’s career brought light to anything outside of his sparkling talent, it highlights how altering a film score can really be. Would “Titanic” be remembered as fondly if Horner’s “My Heart Will Go On” wasn’t there? Would the magic, whimsy and occasional darkness of the “Harry Potter” films be remembered differently if John Williams’ score wasn’t ushering us through the hallways of Hogwarts? The list goes on and on – Max Steiner’s sweeping theme for “Gone With the Wind,” Williams’ epic score to “Star Wars,” all the way to Michael Giacchino’s tear-jerking opening theme to “Up” – but one thing remains true: These films, outside of standing tall in terms of acting, directing and technical aspects, are made in some way by the music running throughout. If done right, a good film score can make the simplest of scenes stand out in your mind. Take for example Giacchino’s piece “Married Life,” which plays during the opening minutes of “Up.” What starts as a montage to a marriage takes a heartrending turn, and as the characters

undergo their journey, this piece of music swells and slows from idyllic to heartbreaking over the course of a few minutes, while pretty much keeping the same melody. It’s a piece of music that hits you right in the heart, a true testament to the power of what music can do. Similarly, looking at the career of James Horner is like looking at everything film can offer a moviegoer. From the outer space thrills of “Apollo 13” and “Avatar” to the battlefields of “Glory” and “Braveheart,” from animation (including “An American Tail” and “Balto”) to superheroes (“The Amazing SpiderMan”), Horner did it all. His last two projects – Patricia Riggen’s Chilean miner drama “The 33” with Antonio Banderas, and Antoine Fuqua’s boxing drama “Southpaw” with Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker and Rachel McAdams – are due out later this year, but thanks to his work and illustrious career, Horner will live on long after those films leave the big screen.

Students at EcoCAR 3 contest place in top half of competitors By Katherine Metcalf | Contributing Writer
Since last September, students participating in an advanced vehicle technology contest have been working on turning a Chevrolet Camaro into a hybrid vehicle. The contest, EcoCAR 3, involves teams from 16 universities, including The University of Alabama. EcoCAR 3, sponsored by the Department of Energy and General Motors and managed by Argonne National Laboratory, just finished its first year of competition. The University’s team received numerous awards while competing in Seattle throughout the past year. “The team received seven awards, including four first place awards,” said Brittany Galloway, the communications manager of EcoCAR 3, and a secondyear graduate student studying advertising and public relations. She said the team learned from the competition this year and is striving to place higher next year. After the first year, the UA team was named the “Team to Watch,” and also placed first for its media relations report, outreach presentation, Clean Cities Coalition Outreach Initiative and for executing the most creative outreach event. These accolades assisted in
placing the team in the top half of the competition. The purpose of the project is to give students the opportunity to gain work experience before they enter the automotive industry. The competition also gives students exposure to jobs and careers in business, engineering, communications, finance and operations management. Travis Foust, a second-year graduate student studying mechanical engineering, is an engineering manager for the EcoCAR 3 project. “I think this is the best program for engineering students because it gives them the opportunity to work with the tools and software they are going to use in the automotive industry,” he said. The EcoCAR 3 project lasts a total of four years, leaving the University three more years to meet their goal of placing higher in the competition. “We learned a lot from last year,” Galloway said. “We would love to be in the top five next year.” Foust said he believes the team has the capability to place higher with continued focus and hard work. “We got eighth place this year,” he said. “Everyone is on board to work hard, and it is a great time to be a part of this team right now.”

13 Pieces make display debut in ‘Lately’ exhibit CULTURE Wednesday, June 24, 2015
By Sam West | Contributing Writer
Over 400 pieces of art were recently acquired by The University of Alabama College of Arts and Sciences, and a handful of these works will soon go on display for the first time ever. This exhibit, “Lately,” opened at the Paul R. Jones Gallery of Art on Monday and features more than 20 pieces. “Lately” is a diverse collection of artwork. The exhibition includes prints, paintings, photographs, mixedmedia pieces and collages. The works are all contemporary pieces made in the last 40 years, and they all will made their public debut in “Lately.” “[The pieces] represent works that have fairly recently been donated to the collection,” said Emily Bibb, the gallery’s collections manager. “It’s nice to get those new things out there and show off what’s come into the collection.” All of the works are part of the larger Paul R. Jones Collection of American Art. The pieces in “Lately” were among the 2,100 that the late Jones donated to UA in 2008. A notable artist whose work is displayed in “Lately” is William Dooley, associate professor at Alabama, and director of the Sarah Moody Gallery of
Art. His piece “Untitled (Composition with Oxbow)” is an abstract work featuring several curved shapes in brown, white and orange. Dooley’s piece is one of many similar works he created over two-and-ahalf years. Making the prints in his “Oxbow” series involved placing different organic inks and gesso (a thick primer used in artistic painting) on paper. The artist would allow this to dry and then return to it, repeating this process as many as 15 times. The ink and gesso would react with each other in different ways, and the layering of the two elements would yield a variety of visual results. Dooley described this process as experimental, almost scientific. “It had a lot of control, yet there’s this kind of chaos that emerges in the compositions that survived,” he said. Another well-known artist whose work is featured in “Lately” is Jacob Lawrence, whose print “Studio” depicts an artist at work. A few pieces in the show were composed by unknown artists. These works have no signature or an illegible one but are still included in “Lately.” This speaks to the diversity of the exhibition and the Paul R. Jones Collection as a whole. Jones was a

voracious buyer of art, and he had an inclusive philosophy about the works he would purchase. “If he liked it, he bought it,” said Katie McAllister, director of the Paul R. Jones Gallery. “If he liked the artist, he would buy most of their work.” McAllister said that Jones also personally befriended many of the
artists he patronized. Dooley spoke of a bright future for the Paul R. Jones Collection beyond this exhibit. “In ten years’ time, I expect that collection to grow to about 7,500 pieces, if everything goes well,” he said. Admission to the gallery is free to the public.

Farmers market provides fresh summer food options By Jeremy Connor | Contributing Writer
The intense Alabama summer heat tends to inspire eating a bit lighter than usual. Last week, I decided to head to the farmers market to create some refreshing summer dishes. The challenge was to find light fare that could be used for five days’ worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner – all for under $25. Impressed with the vast array of options at each of the vendors’ stations, it was difficult choosing what to buy. Managing to stay within my budget, I made dishes using only the following items: bread, breadcrumbs, jam, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, eggplants, basil and a pre-made pie. Everything else used to prepare the meals was just common spices or drinks that were already in the pantry. The food–and delicious leftovers–lasted all five days.

After much debate, I finally chose to buy homemade strawberry jam from Dan’s Produce, a vendor at the market, for breakfast. I also purchased fresh bread from the supermarket bakery because the bread vendor that typically sells at Homegrown Alabama was not there during my visit. A big cup of black coffee to wake me up for my 5:15 a.m. opening shift at the Rec Center completed the meal.
For lunch I made a caprese salad. I first had this dish when I was on a trip to Italy with my Latin class during high school. It is a simple and fresh dish to prepare, as well as delicious, of course. It pairs nicely with a white or light red wine. I would advise staying away from a darker red, as those tend to be more acidic, and the fresh tomatoes already provide a good deal of acidic flavors. All of the ingredients for this dish, except for the cheese (which came from Target), were available from the vendors for Williams’ Farms and Burnette Farms.
For dinner, eggplant parmesan was the course. This was my first time attempting this Italian classic, and it came out splendidly–though I’ll admit it ended up more cheese than eggplant. This dish pairs really well with a robust red wine, such as a Barbera. After cooking, the tomatoes’ acidity is no longer noticeable. They are almost sweet, so a red wine can really balance out the flavors of the dish. The produce came from the same vendors as the caprese salad, while the cheese and breadcrumbs came from the supermarket.
As a special treat to myself, I also picked up a homemade personal pie. I asked the vendor from Hippies Artisan Pies for her favorite and she told me it was the brandied cherry variety. This obviously wouldn’t last me the entire five days, but I really wanted to give it a shot, and it fit the budget. It was a fantastic way to finish a long day.

Duckworth partners with Read Bama Read By Stephanie Ziegler | Contributing Writer
The tornado that hit Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011, left a handful of libraries completely destroyed, taking away the opportunity for local children to read the books libraries once held on their shelves. When it seemed like the rest of the world forgot the storm, Alabama gymnastics coach Dana Duckworth said she wanted to bring back the passion in her community and felt a calling to give back to those affected by the tornado. “When you have disasters, it’s in the news and everyone’s worried and busy … a few months later when everyone’s world keeps going, they forget that we had a major catastrophic event,” Duckworth said. In the weeks that followed the catastrophe, Duckworth partnered with Dana Benjamin to establish Read Bama Read, a nonprofit organization with a goal of placing a book in the hands of every child in Tuscaloosa County. Duckworth and Benjamin set out to raise $150,000 to put 10,000 books back into Tuscaloosa schools and libraries. Read Bama Read’s initial goal was achieved in a matter of 3-4 years. University Place Elementary School was one Tuscaloosa school hit hard by the tornado. The storm wiped out the second floor classrooms, cafeteria and gym, leaving the library’s collection of books, periodicals and electronic devices destroyed. Read Bama Read donated a check for $25,000 to the school. “We would not have been able to do what we did in rebuilding the library, and then enhancing our collection as well, without Dana’s [Duckworth] work with Read Bama Read and the $25,000 check,” former principal Deron Cameron said. Since the program’s inception, Duckworth’s vision for Read Bama Read has grown. She has set a new goal for the program to raise an extra $250,000 and give 200-300 books to every school in Tuscaloosa’s county and city school systems. “Seeing a librarian’s face when you hand them the check, seeing the children opening up the boxes of books when they arrive, being able to make a difference, that’s what life is about in my opinion,”

Lakers should draft Jahlil Okafor By Marquis Munson
This Thursday, the 2015 NBA Draft gets underway and teams will try to rebuild their organizations with some of the most talented college and international players. One of those teams in dying need of rebuilding is the Los Angeles Lakers, which finished last season with a 21-61 record. Earlier this week, it was reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves, who hold the No. 1 pick, are going with Kentucky center Karl-Anthony Towns. That leaves the second-best big man, Duke’s Jahlil Okafor. If the Lakers are smart, they draft Okafor with the No. 2 pick. Having a talented big man in basketball is almost like having a talented running back in football. Yes the running back position is a dying breed, but once you get the right one, that is a definite game changer. Okafor has his flaws. He lacks an outside shooting ability, and he can’t play defense consistently. But at 19, he can work on those skills. His moves in the low post and his basketball IQ are better than any player in the 2015 draft class. He is more physically NBA-ready
WHAT TO KNOW POSSIBLE FIRST FIVE TO GO: 1. TIMBERWOLVES: KarlAnthony Towns, PF/C, Kentucky 2. LAKERS: Jahlil Okafor, PF/C, Duke 3. 76ERS: D’Angelo Russell, PG/SG, Ohio State 4. KNICKS: Kristaps Porzingis, PF/C, Sevilla 5. MAGIC: Justise Winslow, SF, Duke than other lottery picks in this draft. Okafor has a winner’s mentality. In his one year with Duke, he helped win the 2015 NCAA championship. That eagerness to win is exactly what Kobe Bryant and the Lakers need. The Lakers need to go with a player on the inside, not the backcourt. When you have a big man as talented as Okafor, you can’t pass on him.

WHAT TO KNOW • INITIAL GOAL: $125,000 for 10,000 books • TIMEFRAME: 3-4 years • NEW GOAL: Extra $250,000 for 200-300 books in every school in Tuscaloosa Duckworth said. Duckworth is supported by her athletes, who help by reading to children in their classrooms and at functions such as the Event at the Tent, where children come to read with athletes from the gymnastics, softball, football, tennis and golf teams in a large tent donated from a local business. Senior gymnast Lauren Beers participated in the Event at the Tent, and felt it was successful. Beers and fellow athletes stressed to the children the importance of reading, and she said she felt Duckworth’s efforts have made a difference in Tuscaloosa. “Her work is amazing and a great addition to the community,” Beers said. “She has provided so many opportunities for kids to read and to have their own books. I feel that her contribution will have lasting impacts into the future.”

How much does it help recruiting having that history and having had international players? It certainly helps. You at least know some people, but at the same time, we recruited a lot of international players at Florida State, but it’s not as if Florida State’s handing me players or anything like that. It’s still up to me to go over and make my own contacts and find my own players. Alabama has a history of international players, which has to help recruiting abroad. It does help the fact that I can point to the likes of [former player] Merel van Dongen who’s playing in the World Cup and [signee] Celia [Jimenez Delgado] who’s playing in the World Cup [Editor’s note: Spain and the Netherlands have been eliminated from the World Cup but were still playing at the time of the interview. I can point to these players, so even if I’m in a country, any country, I can point to the fact that we have international players here and we’ve had international players.

What else have you been doing? You’ve talked about building the brand. From a personal standpoint, trying to get settled in here, find a home, trying to get my family out here. But back to business, just trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle. We want to try to change the culture here, and we’ve got so much potential in terms of resources and the national brand of Alabama athletics and the support from the staff and everything, we’ve got all that in place. Now we just need to get the players to buy into what we’re trying to do and convince some recruits that this is going to be a place that’s going to be a special program.

Former Alabama baseball standouts play in MLB By Kayla Montgomery | Staff Reporter
Earlier this month, six Alabama baseball players were taken in the 2015 MLB Draft. It was the highest number of Crimson Tide players taken since 2010, and the five players selected before the start of the 15th round were the most in UA history. The Crimson Tide baseball team is no stranger to the MLB, with five former players currently making waves.

Nelson has secured three wins for the Milwaukee Brewers across a career-high 83.1 innings pitched. He has 70 strikeouts, and has struck out five or more in eight of his 14 starts.

out, not only can that be done, it has already been done by a UA student. The student who succeeded in accomplishing this now owns her own 3-D printer made from 3-D printed parts, though she had to order the electronics that make the printer function separately. Lydia Eubanks, a junior majoring in mathematics, said she plans to use 3-D
printing in her future classrooms. “As a future math teacher, I would love to use my new understanding of the concept of 3-D printing in order to give my students a better understanding of how math can be used in the real world through interesting technologies like 3-D printing,” Eubanks said. Eubanks, along with the other participants, is a part of the Noyce summer internship program, an annual internship available to students interested in applying to become Noyce Scholars, a designation offered to students who intend to teach in STEM areas
