Nomination voted down for 2nd time Chief of staff appointee rejected by SGA Senate By Sean Landry | Production Editor
For the second time, the SGA Senate voted to reject SGA president Elliot Spillers’s nomination for chief of staff on Tuesday night. Spillers nominated Douglas Logan, a junior majoring in education, for the vacant chief of staff position but the Senate voted by a count of 25-13 to reject her appointment. Two senators abstained while 10 senators were absent. The rejection comes one week after Chisolm I believe that A l l e n l u n dy ’s ppointment something is at awas voted down play here. by a vote of 32-13 and four days — Elliot Spillers — after Kevin Paul was endorsed by majority vote of the Senate. “I believe that something is at play here,” Spillers said. “I’m not too sure exactly what it is .... I’m not too sure what happened this time.” Unlike Allenlundy, Logan has experience working with the executive side of the SGA as well as the Senate. According to a release from the United Alabama Project, she has spent terms as a deputy vice president for external affairs and as a senator. Senator Paige Lindgren spoke in negation of the appointment. “While I think that on paper she seems like a great candidate, I was just now handed her resume,” she said. “I’ve never talked to her, never met her, I just don’t feel like I’m ready to vote on the subject right now.” Lindgren did not respond to a request via Facebook for further comment before press time. Senator Dalton Beasley spoke in affirmation of Logan, contrasting her nomination with the endorsement of Kevin Paul last Saturday and praising her leadership experience on projects like Beat Auburn, Beat Hunger.

Kristian Gkolomeev named SEC Male Swimmer of the Year Alabama sophomore swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev was named the SEC Male Swimmer of the Year on Tuesday. Gkolomeev, who won two SEC titles in the 50 and 100 freestyle and was part of two SEC champion relays, also won the 100 freestyle at the NCAA Championships. His school record 41.58 to win the NCAA 100 freestyle championship was the fastest collegiate flat start 100 of the season. He also posted the second fastest 100 this season after posting a 41.68 to win the SEC 100 freestyle.
“We are extremely proud of everything that Kristian accomplished this season,” UA head coach Dennis Pursley said. “The amazing thing to us is that as good as he was this year, he is just starting to scratch the surface when it comes to his potential.” Gkolomeev is the first Alabama swimmer to earn SEC Swimmer of the Year honors since Arne Borgstrom in 1982.

3 RecycleBama hosts environmental program Editor | Rachel Brown Newsdesk@cw.ua.edu Wednesday, April 15, 2015
By Mackenzie Ross | Staff Reporter
RecycleBama hosted a tabling event in the Ferguson Student Center on Tuesday as part of their Green Week initiative. The event aimed to educate students on the importance of green initiatives and show ways to be environmentally friendly. The tabling event was modeled after Get on Board Day and featured a variety of student groups and activities including Tide for Tusks and the Yellowhammer Festival. This was the first event of the weeklong program to help students become more environmentally friendly. RecycleBama, an SGA-led initiative, will be at the Homegrown Alabama Farmers’ Market on Thursday and students can participate in their scavenger hunt on Friday to win prizes. “We have this fun quote on the back of our T-shirts, ‘The future will either be green or not at all,’” said Julie Buzzard, a member of RecycleBama and a sophomore majoring in nutrition and marketing. “There’s so much waste, especially cans everywhere. There’s recycle bins, but people just don’t use them. It’s more about awareness to get people to realize it’s super easy to put your can in a blue bin instead of a trash can.” The group encourages students who live off campus to use the drive-through drop off at the Recycling Center on 14th Street, which is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5

p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. Tide for Tusks, a new student group, also participated in the tabling to raise awareness for the conservation of African elephants. As part of Green Week, they will host a fundraiser at the Bear Trap on Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Students can purchase wristbands for $5, and the proceeds go to onsite African elephant conservation and research groups. “It’s an important part of the natural world and it’s important to Alabama
specifically because it’s our mascot,” said Matthew Barrett, a member of Tide for Tusks and a freshman majoring in history and international studies. “But at the rate poaching is continuing, there is a real possibility that elephants will be extinct within 10 years. So it’s kind of a dire problem that needs to be solved.” Barrett said he saw this problem firsthand when he visited South Africa and Botswana last summer and he encourages students to also donate online to help save the elephants.
Green Week will culminate with the Yellowhammer Festival on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. at the UA Arboretum. Creative Campus sponsored the festival, which is an eco-friendly and dog-friendly concert, and it features performances from artists such as Lake Lyon and Actual People. Students can expect to find local vendors, food and giveaways. “The idea is that there’s no music festival in Tuscaloosa, so we’re trying to start something and bring something to the community that isn’t there, but in a good way through sustainability,” said Dylan McCaghren, a senior majoring in marketing and Spanish and a Creative Campus intern. The group has been collecting used K-cups and turning them into planters. After the festival, students can take home a planter with a seed of their choosing and watch it grow. After Green Week ends, RecycleBama will continue to have monthly Instagram competitions where students take a picture doing something environmentally friendly for the chance to win prizes like gift cards, an ENO, and water bottles. For students interested in joining, applications and interviews will be held in the fall. For more information, follow them on Twitter @RecycleBama and on Facebook at RecycleBama.

I’ve always loved the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, and I’m sure you are familiar with the over-quoted ending, “Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” I used to think this poem was about paving your own way and not following others. But then we spent an entire class period taking about these lines in my 11th grade English class and I came to the conclusion that, really, this is just a poem about making a choice. You have two paths, and you have to pick one. You choose, and that makes all the difference. In 2011 I chose to come to The University of Alabama. That fall I chose to join a sorority. The next year I chose to change my major, and then I chose to change it again. I chose to study abroad, I chose to mentor at an elementary school, I chose to write for the school newspaper, I chose to join Unlocked, I chose to accept an offer with Teach for America. My entire college resume is just composed of, well, Rachel Brown my choices. But these Photo Courtesy of Rachel Brown choices shaped me, and they helped me to grow. In hindsight, sometimes I wonder if I would still choose to attend The University of Alabama. There are times I have been disappointed, disillusioned and distraught with this university. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t looked at transferring – multiple times. But I chose to stay, and that has made all the difference. I am who I am today because of this university and because of my experiences. Because I chose to join a sorority, I lived the pivotal moment when our final barrier was removed. I learned from others the power in raising your own voice when you don’t think something is right, and that is irreplaceable. Because I chose to study abroad I opened myself to new cultures and new people, and I became humbled in my own limitations. In choosing to mentor I discovered my passion – education, and in choosing to write for The Crimson White, I now get to write you this column. Every day we make choices. In fact, the reality of life is that, really, it is just a series of the choices we make and their outcomes or consequences. If I leave you with anything, I leave you with this: Embrace your choices – the great, the good, the bad and even the ugly. Because let’s be honest, we all make bad choices, too. But be grateful in your right to be able to choose. The beauty of choices is that there will always be another crossroads. You can choose to not let your mistakes define you, choose to be better, choose to be healthy, choose to be different. You can choose to be good. Embrace the choices you make, because they will make all the difference. Rachel Brown was the News Editor of The Crimson White.

6 McLarney to talk on finance, physical health WEDNESDAY April 15, 2018
By Alexis Winborne | Contributing Writer
Katherine McLarney is a senior majoring in finance and economics from Dallas, and North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. She is giving a Tide Talk on Friday at 7 p.m. in Russell Hall. What is your Tide Talk about? My Tide Talk is about is the correlation between physical health and financial health. Even in college, having poor financial health can increase your risk of stroke and high blood pressure. How did you feel when you got nominated to do a Tide Talk?
Katherine McLarney CW / Amy Sullivan
W h e n eve r someone takes the time to nominate you for having a revolutionary idea, it’s flattering. It’s a great feeling to know that someone else believes something I am passionate about is worth spreading throughout campus.
How has being at the University affected you?
How did you get nominated?
An anonymous person nominated me for a Tide Talk. I received an email from the Tide Talks president letting me know that I had been nominated for a potential Tide Talk speaker and asked if I was interested in meeting with them to further discuss my idea. I met with a few members of the Tide Talks executive team and talked about my idea. I would highly encourage anyone who receives the email from Tide Talks Exec to take the time to meet with the team, even if you aren’t sure if your idea is “revolutionary.” Why did you come to the University? I came to UA because I fell in love with the broad variety of service learning experiences as well as the ability to immerse myself in leadership opportunities on campus.
Being at The University of Alabama has affected me in numerous ways. I’ve become a much more balanced person with a variety of viewpoints. I have learned the value of hard work, balance and the importance of immersing yourself in the local community. The passion for financial health came from my experiences at Forza Financial. For the past four years, I have served as a chief officer for Forza Financial, a studentrun microfinance institution at The University of Alabama. Being a part of Forza has taught me the value of hard work and persistence, how to navigate tricky situations and how a small loan can change a business owner’s life. What do you hope to do after graduation? After graduation, I will be relocating to Houston, Texas, and working in energy investments, as I decide on pursuing graduate school.

She said she Cornelius said she has been slut-shamed did not understand why the boys in her multiple times.

because she’s a slut, and I don’t want to be with somebody who’s used.’” Lindsay Macher, a sophomore majoring in chemical engineering, said the first time she was hurt by the word “slut” was when she was in high school. After kissing a boy on their first date, she said her friend called her a slut and she felt condemned for her actions. Macher said she believes women are taught differently from men starting at a very young age. “When I was little my parents told me that I could have the world and whatever I wanted,” she said. “Once I reached the age where everyone started to be sexual, that was when a shift occurred because they told me to be careful about how many guys I date. It went from ‘the world is yours,’ to ‘you need to be appealing to the world.’” Slut-shaming affects many different women of all ages, including victims of sexual assault. “Unfortunately victim blaming happens often in conjunction with sexual violence,” said Zoe Storey, coordinator of Take Back the Night, an event that brings awareness to sexual assault. “In order to move away from victim blaming, it is important to hold offenders responsible for their actions, not the victim. We should evaluate our personal actions and words and hold both ourselves and our peers accountable.” Hoffman said it was not her male peers who slut-shamed her relentlessly, but her female peers. Even at the age of 20,
Hoffman said women still call her a slut. Cassidy Ellis, president of the Feminist Caucus, said women’s internalized misogyny causes them to call each other sluts. The Feminist Caucus will host “Helping Womyn Wyn: Ain’t I a Woman?” on Wednesday to discuss women’s empowerment and the idea of “having it all.” “I feel like a lot of us called each other that,” said Ellis, a graduate student studying women’s studies and communications. “We would say ‘don’t be a slut’ or ‘you’re being a slut.’ It almost became a dated term growing up, and we might have said ‘whore’ or something like that. I have to admit that I’ve said it. I think we all have because we’re socialized to think it’s OK.” Christopher Lynn, a biological anthropologist who teaches an anthropology of sex course at the University, said the intersexual competition between women contributes to women slut-shaming one another. Lynn said women are made to feel bad about sex because our American culture has a puritanical and Victorian basis. “I think that in some ways jealousy, whether it’s slut or whore, it’s almost like telling someone, ‘you’re too free and I’m jealous of that,’” he said. Hoffman said the word is no longer an insult to her and only reflects negatively upon the people who use it. “If you are going to insult me, get to know me,” she said. “Call me out on something that actually matters.”

Tuscaloosa barbecue dining options worth exploring By Matt Lund
What one category can swallow the entire fat-packed, gut-busting, nap-inducing pill that is Southern food? For anyone who’s spent serious time south of the Mason-Dixon, a number of meals push to the front of the mind. Nostalgic flavors cooked by family, neighbors and small town mom-and-pop restaurants fill the palate. Warm memories of fried everything, collard greens with bacon, or biscuits and gravy in the summer make bold cases for the title of “Southern Food Champion.” But more times than not, one smoky memory reigns supreme amidst all the comfort food: barbecue. It’s our food. It’s our staple. Pork, chicken, beef, all cooked low and slow in a hundred different ways with a hundred different sauces slathered over the top. I make it a point when traveling in the Southeast to eat as much barbecue as possible. Everywhere you go, there is an ever-present argument over who has the best meat and the best sauce. I have come to one conclusion: When a person takes pork, chicken, or beef, and barbecues it until every bit of fat renders into the meat and that indescribable smokiness permeates every bite, it’s magical. So they can argue all they want. Pulled pork is good. Ribs are awesome. Smoked chicken is delicious. Any combination of spicy, sweet and tangy poured over the top is just a bonus. So whether you were born here or just go to school here, a list of Tuscaloosa barbecue joints worth your time and money.
Full Moon Bar-B-Que
Jim N’ Nick’s Bar-B-Q Jim N’ Nick’s has great pulled pork sandwiches, surprisingly delicious cookies and a good downtown location – plus a very well-run catering business for any parties, tailgates or events you might be hosting.
It’s kind of hard to miss this monolith of a restaurant near the corner of McFarland Blvd. and 15th Ave. Full Moon’s BBQ baked potatoes are a great choice for the hungry and adventurous eater.

Moe’s Original Bar-B-Que
Big surprise. You already know about this, and for a reason: it’s good, very good. The second location just across the bridge in Northport is a little easier to get to, with a more expansive menu.

The chicken at this Moe’s location is truly special. Fifty-cent wings on Monday nights plus bingo make it a crowd favorite. It has an awesome downtown location and, oddly enough, some of the best cornbread I have ever eaten.

Small statues provide big punch By Reed O’Mara
The Birmingham Museum of Art is housing a variety of exhibits that are easily accessible to students, including a collection by Frank Fleming called “Between Fantasy and Reality.” CW / Reed O'Mara
Since January, the Birmingham Museum of Art has hosted an exhibit titled “Small Treasures: Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals, and Their Contemporaries,” and it’s not until one enters the exhibit that the scope of the name comes to light: The paintings are, in fact, really small. As the name would suggest, the exhibit includes the tightly-formatted artworks of Dutch and Flemish artists from the 17th century, detailing the golden age for portraiture. The pieces attempt to hide all brush strokes and as a result look like beautifully-rendered photographs. They capture people before selfies and before multimedia. They are something to be treasured, and it’s more than exciting for Birmingham to be housing them – though only for a little while more, as the exhibit closes April 26. Also housed in the museum currently until the end of the summer is a statuary from Frank Fleming called “Between Fantasy and Reality.” This exhibit
is placed poorly in the museum. It’s at an intermediate point, cased in glass at the base of one of the staircases. It’s a transitional exhibit, sure, but its pieces are so fantastic and mesmerizing, it’s a shame the museum didn’t see fit to place them with more status. Fleming’s unglazed porcelain works create a piece wholly unknown to the viewer but inspire something wild, imaginative and representative of a lost childhood. The sculptures of walruses on chaise lounges and alligators holding purses are whimsical and dark, eerie in the silence they capture. Whether to see the classics or to witness something more new age, the Birmingham Museum of Art is hosting an array of exhibits very accessible to students – most exhibits are free, and “Small Treasures” is only $5 for students. The exhibits are a great way to break the mold on the usual movie date, and art has a calming effect as dead week assails students this coming week.

Huxford to play final concert of 2014-15 season By Ellen Johnson | Contributing Writer
Music fans and novices alike will be entertained Thursday evening when both familiar and lesser-known classical tunes echo throughout the Moody Music Building. The concert will close the Huxford Symphony Orchestra’s 2014-15 season, which included six shows. Blake Richardson, director of orchestral studies for the School of Music, said the concert will serve the audience a wide variety of musical dishes. “In this concert, we will get to see a lot of different types of music and performers,” he said. This concert is special not only because it closes the season but also because the orchestra will collaborate with the University’s choir, the University Singers,
for “Cantata Misericordium” by Benjamin Britten. The orchestra will also perform two other pieces, “Piano Concerto No. 1” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and “Symphony No. 3” by Ludwig van Beethoven. “The Beethoven piece is my favorite because it explores many different dynamics of human emotion,” Richardson said. “The first movement is heroic and majestic. The third movement is very light like a dance, and the last movement is heroic again – a thrilling finale.” One of the students performing in this concert is Lindsey South, a sophomore majoring in violin performance. She said she expects audience members to enjoy this concert because of its accessibility and diverse music. “We’re playing three pieces, and I like that it’s really diverse,” she said. “I think everyone will enjoy hearing different
time periods.” Jackson Morris, a junior majoring in aerospace engineering, has played the string bass in the orchestra for three years. He said he is looking forward to sharing familiar music with the audience during this concert. “There’s a lot of material we’re doing, and any big classical music fan would know these huge pieces,” he said. “But it’s also more accessible – [they’re] very famous pieces. It’s the most well-known material we’ve done in a concert so far this year.” Morris said his favorite piece from this particular concert is “Piano Concerto No. 1” by Tchaikovsky. “Tchaikovsky is one of my favorite composers, and we’ve played this piece once earlier in the year so we all know the ends and outs of [it],” he said. “It’s a joy to listen to.”
PLAN TO GO WHAT: Huxford Symphony Orchestra Concert WHEN: 7:30 p.m., Thursday WHERE: Concert Hall, Moody Music Building Although students in the orchestra perform multiple concerts each school year, they said they do not grow tired of the experience. “We do this three times a semester, and we just keep going,” Morris said. “We go through all these amazing pieces, and it’s just what we do.” General admission is $10, but tickets can be purchased for $3 with a student ID. They are also available at uamusic.tix.com.

Jansen said er’s game. Soon after, the two were playing she is still shocked they played so loosely in the ITA National Indoor Championship in such a tight situation.
“It was probably the most fun doubles match we ever played,” Routliffe said. “It was a blast and everything was going our way.” The two brought confidence from previous difficult matches they had won, and thought the tournament was in Athens, Georgia, the Crimson Tide had many fans in attendance. Once that final game-ending shot was made, Jansen dropped her racket and ran to hug her partner. “I don’t really remember after that point,” Routliffe said. “I saw pictures but I don’t remember thinking anything.” The depth of the situation and the fact that they won didn’t hit them until they were driving back from the tournament, they said. But that was last year, and this is now. The pressure to defend their title is there but barely acknowledged. “I think it would be naïve to say there wasn’t pressure,” Jansen said. With a large banner in the Alabama Tennis Stadium showing the two were NCAA Doubles Champions last year, there’s a target on their back, but it’s not taken as a negative. “The better the opponent they’re playing, the better they play,” Doverspike said. Routliffe said they enjoy having that pressure there. It not only brings out the best in other teams because they want to defeat the partners, but it also brings out the best in them in the end, she said. “When they make the decision that they’re going to dominate on the court, good luck to whoever is playing them,” Mainz said. With the SEC Championships starting Tuesday, both Jansen and Routliffe say it’s best to not think of it as defending their title. Despite going into the tournament 18-1 and ranked No. 1 in the country, they know they’re not perfect and are okay with that. “We always go back to the fact that last year we lost quite a bit of matches and were still fine,” Jansen said. Doverspike said he thinks the pair will
do well in the upcoming matches. The two normally thrive in a tournament setting and have had much more time and experience together since last year . “They’ve played together now so much they just about literally know where the other person is on the court at all times,” Mainz said. “It’s almost an unspoken communication.” Although the pair may have been friends originally, they have grown much closer since becoming doubles partners. Doverspike said there are three things to take into consideration when pairing players up as doubles: personality, game style and ego. Jansen and Routliffe do a great job of meshing all three, he said. “It’s like a marriage basically,” he said. “It can get difficult because you don’t want to blame each other but you’re relying on that other person to help you achieve what you want to achieve.” When they’re on the court together, the pair are in their own world. They’re so comfortable together that conversations don’t stop, even though they may be in the middle of a match. “[Jansen] makes a lot of jokes,” Routliffe said. “I definitely play better tennis when I am laughing or smiling.” While Jansen keeps it light, Routliffe makes her feel like a great doubles partner after every point, regardless of the outcome. Together, they would call themselves a feisty pair while on the court. At times, they’re referred to as the “Scream Team.” “They bring a lot of energy,” Doverspike said. “Whenever they win a point, you’re going to hear them. If you don’t hear them, you know something is wrong.” Although it can be tricky to coach Jansen and Routliffe because they are both headstrong, it is also a lot of fun, Mainz said. “Maya Jansen and Erin Routliffe are undoubtedly the most potent, the most lethal and the most talented doubles team that’s ever played at Alabama,” Mainz said.

Women’s golf to travel to SECs By Caroline Gazzara | Staff Reporter

CB recovering from surgery By Elliott Propes and Nolan Imsande | CW Staff
Cyrus Jones is coming off of a career season. Jones was starting at cornerback for the whole season and recorded 46 tackles along with two forced fumbles and three interceptions. What most people do not know is that Jones played through the whole season with a torn labrum, a muscle in the hip. Jones announced that last June he suffered the injury during summer workouts. “As soon I was diagnosed with it, I knew I would need surgery, but being as though I got it diagnosed in the summertime during workouts, I couldn’t get surgery because that would mean I would have to sit out during the season,” Jones said. “So I just had to deal with it through the season.” Jones said he had the surgery on January 14, soon after the season ended. He said there was a lot of pain but it was not very serious. He said during the summer and fall he was held out of some running drills and had to do some alternative conditioning. He said he had various types of treatment that would make it easier for him to go out and play on gameday. “I would just like to be out there with guys getting better,” he said. “It’s hard just sitting on the side, watching them going at it and competing.” Jones said he probably has a few more months before he is back to 100 percent. In the meantime he said he has enjoyed working and talking with the other defensive backs like freshman Ronnie Harrison, who has received a lot of praise from various players including Jones. Harrison is an early enrollee from Tallahassee, Florida, where he was four-star safety in high school. “I’m definitely just trying to do whatever I can do to help the younger guys out,” Jones said. “Especially guys coming in just trying to make that transition from high school to college.” Alabama has seen a lot of changes and
WHAT TO KNOW • Eddie Jackson worked at safety during the media-viewing period. Jackson, who has been at safety since last week, lined up next to Geno Smith during drills. • Defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson, back from a knee and ankle injury, returned to practice. He wore a black non-contact jersey and was limited. • Freshman Deionte Thompson wore a white jersey and worked with the wide receivers. Thompson was recruited as a safety but has been working with the receivers recently. • Cooper Bateman wore a black non-contact jersey and worked with the quarterbacks. Bateman worked with both the wide receivers and quarterbacks last week. • Former Alabama players Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Nick Perry, Christion Jones and DeAndrew White were spotted at the complex. different packages in the secondary while Jones has been out. It remains to be seen what the secondary will look like come fall, but Jones is expected to be back and competing by then. “I’m just seeing a lot of guys going out there and competing, taking advantage of the reps, and just trying to get out there and get better,” he said. “They have taking coaching well. I just think that when I get out there it is going to be that much more fun, just being a part of it and not having to sit on the side and watch.”
Stormwater runoff is the rain and melting precipitation that flows off streets, rooftops, lawns, and farmland. The flowing water carries salt, sand, soil, pesticides, fertilizers, leaves, oil, litter, and many other pollutants into nearby waterways. In developed areas much of the land is covered by buildings and pavement, which do not allow water to soak into the ground. Storm Sewers are used to carry the large amounts of runoff to nearby waterways.
As coach Mic Potter would say, he and the team like to play their way through tournaments. The University of Alabama women’s golf team returned home late Monday from its stint at the PING/ASU Invitational. The Crimson Tide tied for 12th place. This weekend Alabama will turn around to compete in the SEC Championship in Birmingham. “I like playing our way into tournaments,” Potter said. “We’ve always done better when we just play [back-toback tournaments.]” The Crimson Tide has been struggling all season. Although Alabama went home with two wins in match play against Stanford and Auburn at the Liz Murphey Intercollegiate tournament three weeks ago, the team has yet to win a complete tournament. The PING/ASU tournament proved to be a pivotal moment for the Crimson Tide, which needed a boost in confidence in recent weeks. Potter said the team learned it can compete with other schools, but it just has to keep focused. “I think we learned on the first day that we could compete with anybody,” he said. “But we have to finish the round a lot stronger. We gave a lot of shots away at the end.” Between injuries and inexperience, the Crimson Tide isn’t where Potter said he

would like it to be. “They have more youth than maturity,” he said. “Just getting a feeling for what our program is all about and what we expect.” Alabama will face the rest of the conference, including No. 4 South Carolina, No. 6 LSU, No. 7 Arkansas and No. 9 Mississippi State at the championships. The championships will be held at the Greystone Golf and Country Club. This is the third year of a four-year contract that has the championships in Birmingham.
