...or the media. During election time there is a lot of misinformation, muckraking, and controversy to try to sway you away from the actual issues. All of this politicking can leave us generally pretty uninformed. In the 2008 election a record number of young voters turned out to the polls with a groundbreaking showing of the third-highest number of young voters in the country’s history. So what are the real issues? What should we as students and young adults be concerned about and where do these candidates stand on the issues? The consensus of local students polled says that the major issues for them this upcoming election are debt, jobs, gay marriage, and health care.
With some saying that Obama should be allowed a second term to accomplish the goals he has set in motion, while others say it is time for change once again. Here are the issues, and this is where they stand. Student Debt/Education President Obama: Over the past few years Obama has put into action a plan for responsible loan borrowers to be able to pay back their loans through Income Based Repayment. Students who take out loans after July 1, 2014 would pay 10 percent of their current discretionary income if they make their payments on time. This being an effort to stop interest rates on student loans from doubling. Last year Obama announced an executive action to make that lower cap available to more borrowers by the end of 2012. Obama cites that he and his wife First Lady Michelle

Callaghan said that those who are interested in auditioning need to prepare a 60 second monologue. For those who want to audition for “RENT” they need to also prepare a song cut no longer than two minutes and they need to attend the dance auditions.
University of Montevallo seniors: Marietta Lunceford and Stephon Ammons. Callaghan said that this will be Lunceford and Ammon’s BFA project. Auditions for “The Heidi Chronicles” and “RENT” will begin the first week of classes, Aug. 27th. Callaghan said auditions are open to all University of

editorial While You Were Out The fall semester is upon us and the lackadaisical days of summer remain only as remnants in our memories. The days of backpacks, term papers, projects, theses, midterms and finals loom before freshmen and seniors alike. Summer has left us all with more than just embarrassing tan lines, trips to destinations unknown, boring internships where your job description was office punching bag or a few (or more) crazy nights involving alcohol, sumo suits, and a kiddy pool full of Jell-O. Nobody’s judging. Some might think they wasted their summer working.Most are sure to say that it went by way too fast, as most summers seem to do. A few of you may be glad that summer is over. You might, however, want to keep quiet to avoid the evil eye from everyone else. One thing that can be said is that this summer was packed

Romney supports a system he created in Massachusetts, the Personal Reemployment Accounts system, which would place unemployed individuals into apprenticeship-like position in companies that provide on-the-job training.

As well as people who cannot afford health insurance. Governor Romney: If elected, Governor Romney plans to immediately repeal Obamacare. Romney plans to replace the Affordable Care Act with “market-based reforms that empower states and individuals and reduce health care costs”. This is basically an ambitious version of his plan from Massachusetts. Regardless of whether Romney is elected or if Obama remains in office college students will be able to stay on their parents policies until they are 26.
job with the next Mars mission so you too can show the world what math and can do? Or will you take up an Olympic sport in the hopes of one day taking home gold? And if you think you’re too old to start now, don’t forget about Hiroshi Hoketsu. At 71 he competed in his third Olympics, the first being the 1964 Tokyo games. Whether you are an incoming freshman, graduating senior, graduate student or somewhere in between take what you have learned, go out into the world and do something with it. That’s not an encouragement to run a tyrannical government in the Middle East, or to run a long (sometimes messy) political campaign mind you. It is however an endorsement to go forth and make headlines of your own next summer. Let The Falcon know what impacted you this summer, and how you plan to impact the world.
Gay Marriage President Obama: Obama said in an interview with ABC News, “At a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.” Governor Romney: “I believe we should have a federal amendment in the Constitution that defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman,” said Romney, “because I believe the ideal place to raise a child is in a home with a mom and a dad.” Election Day is November 6, 2012.

5 Albums You May Have Missed This Summer
Page Four Monday, August 27th, 2012 By Matt Sanderlin Arts & Culture Editor
1. Bloom (Beach House) - This dream-pop duo is getting bigger and stronger by the release, both in popularity and in sound. Building on the whelming dreaminess of past releases Devotion and Teen Dream, Beach House reaches a new pinnacle with 2012’s Bloom. The record’s soundscapes are MASSIVE and unearthly, forging guitarist Alex Scally’s heavenly arpeggios with vocalist Victoria LeGrand’s warm and breathy whispers - Resulting in a daydream you will want to never end. Standouts like “Myth,” “Troublemaker” and “New Year” are both satiable and immediate, and growers like “The Hours” and “On the Sea” become more and more lovable and memorable with each progressive listen. A glorious, well-spent hour - Especially on vinyl. 2. Synthetica (METRIC) - Emily Haines and Co. return this year with a set of intriguing, experimental new tunes; very worthy of being considered “Part Two” to 2008’s landmark Fantasies release. Synths (as the title suggests) once again dominate the sonic atmospheres on Synthetica, perfectly accenting a healthy dose of anthemic percussion and arena rock-sized guitar-playing. Haines is more convincing than ever, selling her impressive chops with incontestable ease in all kinds of challenging scenarios - Whether assuming the role of a haunting narrator (“Speed the Collapse”, playing cultural critic (“Youth Without Youth”) or pleading for universal understanding for both herself and the power of music (“Dreams So Real”). Overall, an irresistible and unforgettable release from an underrated alternative-pop band, and it sounds incredible on limited-edition 200-gram white vinyl. 3. Out of the Game (Rufus Wainwright) - One of the universe’s most talented songwriters returns to graceful form this year with his fresh collection of hearty, baroque-pop masterpieces. The charming title-track single kicks off the new record with a pleasant, mid-tempo stride - Rufus’s alwayscommanding vocals then make their way into the arrangement, his melodies hinting discretely of classic Jackson Browne. Wainwright channels other definitive influences throughout Out of the Game; (Queen in “Bitter Tears,” David Bowie in “Perfect Man,” and golden-era Elton John in “Song of You” and “Jericho”), but he also still manages to easily adorn his compositions with signature Rufus style and swagger. Artful and thoughtful pop has never been so rewarding. HDtracks.com offers this outstanding album in audiophile-grade, high-definition audio (88kHZ/24 bit) that will blow you away. 4. The Tarnished Gold (Beachwood Sparks) - Following an unexpected and incredibly unbearable ten-year hiatus, “country-through-a-kalidioscope”-rockers Beachwood Sparks are back with The Tarnished Gold - a welcome “homecoming” album (of sorts) for the band and a magnificent set of flawless musical gems. The album contains a perfect blend of relishable psychedelic opuses (including “Leave That Light On,” “Forget the Song,” and “Nature’s Light”) and short-and-sweet folk refrains (“Talk About Lonesome,” “The Tarnished Gold,” “The Orange Grass Special”). The Sparks also transcend the modern folk-pop norm with an elegant and harmonious Spanish ballad called “No Queremos Oro,” which fits spectacularly with the rest of the colorful tunes on The Tarnished Gold. Again, an essential for a complete, modern vinyl collection. 5. Poles (Lonely Drifter Karen) - In February of this year, indie-pop quartet Lonely Drifter Karen emerged with a record so striking and wonderful that it still feels brand-new, mid-way through the year. On Poles, the band’s third full release, enchanting lead vocalist Tanja Frinta and her talented crew cleverly join the worlds of dream pop and space pop to produce a dazzling mixture of sound. The engrossing 3/4 groove “Eyes of a Wolf” is part Bat for Lashes, part David Bowie, and 100% potent; and mid-album strutter “Comet” revives vintage synths and percussion and weds them with a warm, modern production technique. Opener “Three Colors Red,” an expertly-crafted single, is another brilliant piece of alternative-pop songwriting, and is likely the most immediate of the set. The powerpop treasure “Traffic Lights,” the entrancing ballad “Appetite,” and the surreal closer “Exactly Light” are all additional highlights to be noted (and enjoyed).

featured essay
presents a Desire and the Hand Masseuse By Davis Hayden Columnist
Sometimes in life you find that you’re not quite up to the task at hand. In those moments you just have to trust your instincts… to destroy everything reason and logic have gotten you. No man is born a ladies’ man - well maybe some were, but I was not born a ladies’ man. To state the fact clearly I am, as I write this, not a ladies’ man. Some men come into a room with swagger, women swoon and approach him as though they’re trapped in the gravity well of a star or other large celestial body. I have a pull more akin to a medium sized comet that occasionally bumps into things by accident. In these rendezvous I’m usually quite inebriated, and from these collisions something that vaguely resembles a relationship forms for a number of weeks before we both drift off into that good night. There’s no cling as most of the heavenly bodies I collide with share a need to wander that is similar to my own. It’s one way to live, but it hasn’t always been mine. There, at times, has been a little cling. In the fall of 2007, that’s roughly thirty pounds ago if I remember correctly, I came to the University of Montevallo to study Biology. I had all my books and hopes of becoming an evolutionary biologist or maybe a geneticist. Another thought loosely anchored in my mind was that I would find a girl to date. Whether or not she was a kind, sane and well put together human never crossed my mind, and whether I was a kind, sane and well put together human never kept me awake either. It didn’t take long to find a girl so the important questions were easily brushed aside. I first saw her outside of the art building, Bloch, smoking a cigarette and wearing a loose fitting floor length dress and moccasins. I was raised in Chilton County, and this was damn near as close to Bohemian as I’d ever been. After a few minutes I made the uncharacteristi-
cally bold move of approaching her, and beginning the seduction with “So how are you liking college so far?” and at some point “Yeah, is your schedule pretty good?” and so on. I’d fallen into that trap of being from a small area where you don’t have to worry about having a reference point with people - you just start talking. Here, I didn’t know s***, so I just began rapid firing questions like I was turning the crank on a howitzer. Like an unreliable machine gun on wheels a few shots landed, but most didn’t. Enough hit to secure a post-class hangout. During this hangout I think I managed to trick her into believing I was charming, and got a date. A quick word on presenting yourself well: it mostly consists of hiding any insecurity or terror that you happen to harbor. For me this insecurity and terror would have normally manifested when she lit a joint in her room and after about ten minutes of her smoking, I was just officiating I guess, an R.A. came to the door. “I don’t know if you guys are smoking in here, but you can smell it like all the way to the bathroom. I just don’t want you to get in trouble.” It was quickly outed, and we made our way for the door and to her car where she lit another joint. I again officiated this one, and covertly scanned the road for oncoming police cars. Eventually we went to go see a forgettable movie, she massaged my hand, we ate at What-A-Burger and made our way back to Montevallo. We went to her room, and watched Se7en starring Bradley Pitt and the black man with the most distinguished voice since James Earl Jones: Morgan Freeman, and promptly began making out. As a grown man I look back on this, and wonder at two things: how did I know Se7en would be such an aphrodisiac and how does anyone make out for two hours? I had to cut this venereal session short after the
movie ended, and go home due to something I failed to mention earlier: I commuted from Clanton my first year. Luckily she so enjoyed the make out that went nowhere that we agreed to hangout the next day. This consisted of sitting on her bed - and making out. After some hours of this came the moment that she permitted me to grab or, perhaps more appropriately, fondle her breast. Now, the bosom in question was quite a nice specimen, half of a pair actually, and there was a great want to grab or, perhaps more appropriately, fondle her breast. The scenario played out in my mind many times faster than a human can execute actions in the temporospatial continuum, but from my mouth came this, “Sometimes you’ve gotta ask yourself: ‘Is the juice worth the squeeze?’” I can only imagine what my face looked like. A phrase that I admittedly had heard and thought hilarious slips out of my mouth like John Hammond’s velociraptors to tear-ass around the park. What else could I do, but look like I had s*** running down my face as the wave of sound entered her ear, shaking and vibrating bones and membranes? I’m no Fox News body language expert, but the subtle souring of her face leads me to believe she didn’t find this accidental phrase humorous, endearing or readily explicable. On the third count I agree, and to this day the feral moment looms enormous in the background of my mind like one of the ancient Titans forever damned, and like Atlas it supports a dull grey fog of terror at the thought of something like this happening again mixed with all of my other memories of sexual ineptitude and general incidents of f****** it up that would induce bouts of vomiting in a lesser (or possibly greater) man. From that point onward there was naught but silence and a sort of tableaux that could have been mistaken for

The Falcon Guide to Small Town Montevallo
By Rosemary Maguire Staff Writer
The University of Montevallo is a small school in a somehow even smaller town with a somehow even smaller population, so one may easily assume that anything the school, town, and surrounding areas have to offer can likely be discovered in one, maybe two semesters. Sure, new students quickly discover much of Montevallo— Lucky’s Foodland and Piggly Wiggly, the various fast food options downtown, the fact that Eclipse Coffee and Books does not sell only coffee and books, the dueling Margarita Nights of Zapopan and El Agave, Main Street Tavern’s double life of delicious burgers and veggies by day/alcohol by night—but the secrets of this small college town run much deeper than a stroll down Main Photo: RosemaryMaguire Street. The following is a neither complete nor comprehensive list of secret Mo-town gems. Cahaba River Wildlife Preserve is home to unique species and activies
barbecue
Just a few miles away from campus is the best barbecue you’re never heard of. Brierfield Café in Brierfield, Alabama, serves quality pulled pork barbecue, available as individual plates or by the pound. The Café serves a variety of other delicious, down-home plates as well, in the true Southern “meat and three” style. If you really want to leave stuffed with heavenly fats, the hot hamburger is an epic choice. The open-faced burger come smothered in cheese and gravy. Get it with the fries; the gravy spills onto them creating actual food nirvana. Brierfield Café is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 to 8:00 and Sunday from 11:00 to 2:00. The address is 19717 Alabama 139, Brierfield, AL 35035. Stick that in your smart phone or, for the less technologically up-todate, give them a call at 205-665-0022.
the great outdoors
produce
The best way to fill your kitchen with the most delicious fruits and veggies in Montevallo is to be willing to shop around. Lucky’s Foodland, on Highway 25, has a fairly extensive selection, with occasional locally grown surprises mixed in. If you’re around Montevallo in the summer, a weekly Farmers Market behind the First Baptist Church offers fruits, veggies, and other ware from local farmers and artisans. Another option is to drive up and down the rural highways outside town where you might find an old farmer selling tomatoes and squash and other freshly picked goodies out of the back of a truck. The truck produce available at Crossroads (the intersection of Highway 119 and Highway 24) is a personal favorite. Want even fresher? With the University’s community garden behind the UM baseball field or Seed to Table, the community garden on Overland Road, you can grow your own produce!
l i v e m u s i c It may be fairly evident after one visit that Eclipse Coffee and Books on Main Street is much more than just coffee and books. With the highly-demanded roasted red pepper hummus, the award winning milkshakes, and the impeccable Rueben sandwich, Eclipse has made a name for itself in Montevallo. The extensive selection of wines, liquor, and craft beer also draws in locals to the breezy wrap around porch. But Eclipse has yet one other offering to the town: live music. Not just live music, FREE live music. Always all ages. Always a good time. For a heads-up of who’ll be playing, check out Eclipse’s Facebook page or check The Falcon’s arts and culture section.
Did you know the University has a lake? A lot of people don’t. Just past the baseball field and adjacent to the UM golf course, is the University Lake, a place for lounging in the grass, hanging out on the dock, or accessing the beautiful walking trail that circles it. The university also owns a swamp. Ebenezer Swamp is 60 acres of beautiful protected swampland, accessible via boardwalks that wind through the marshy woods. The swamp is home to protected species of both plants and animals and is a soothing place to read, do homework, or just relax. Finally, a student in need of some serious nature indulgence can head south to Bibb County and the Cahaba River Wildlife Preserve. Just down a gravel road next to the Cahaba itself, one can find rope swings, beaches, and secluded areas for swimming, tanning, or bird watching. The preserve also offers hiking trails and in May a festival is held for the blooming of the Cahaba Lily, a species only known to the Cahaba River. Word of warning: Bibb County is a dry county, the Bibb County sheriffs take that status very seriously, and being caught drinking at the Cahaba can result in a hefty fine and a ticket citing “violation of prohibition.”

ESSAY
continued from page 5 quiescence by a casual dormitory intruder. Over the next few days we called each other. The ratio of my calls to hers was probably something like 27:1 if I estimate conservatively. There was a particular episode where I called her several times over the course of a day to no answer. When I brought this up to a co-worker he said something like, “You’re acting like a woman.” At the time I disagreed, and still do. I was acting like a timid 18 year old virgin whose resting levels of anxiety and melancholy were above average though this wasn’t known to aforementioned timid 18 year old virgin at the time. More days followed these, and eventually all contact was lost along with five or six DVDs. What I heard of Kelly in the following weeks were mostly unsolicited whispers about her new tattoos, moving to Hoover - dropping out of school and eventually moving back home. After a couple of weeks I didn’t think about her too much, and after a month or so not at all. I was already shaping up to be a wanderer, and there should’ve been a few lessons that I took from this brief encounter. Things like you shouldn’t try to rush into relationships or cling like a baby lemur to its mother’s back or use another human to try and find some kind definition of who you are, and I did learn all of these things and more - about three or four years after this first zeppelin wreck of an adult relationship.
