NEWS | BLOCK SEATING CULTURE | GARDEN PROJECT
By Sarah Elizabeth Tooker
Contributing Writer
The SGA will release on
Friday the results of its
reformed block seating alloca-
tion process along with a map
showing where student organi-
zations blocks will be in the sta-
dium, according to SGA Press
Secretary Meagan Bryant.
Bryant said in a statement
that the Student Organization
Seating map will be publicized
Friday, Sept. 7 by 5 p.m.
After applications were
submitted, along with an appli-
cation fee, the applications
scores were determined by
Campus Labs software, and a
map was made accordingly,
Bryant said. The grading
scores and applications are
password protected, which
eliminates the possibility of
altering any scores.
While SGA is tackling the
issue of block seating, the ACT
card office is working to remind
students of the Universitys
rules for seating in the sta-
dium, advising students to get
into the game a minimum of an
hour before kickoff, as gates
open two and half hours before.
Lines will be very long, so
expect delays, the ACT card
website says. Give yourself
60 to 90 minutes to get into the
stadium, whether or not you
participate in student organi-
zation seating.
The website also makes
clear that block seating is only
in effect for a while before the
game.
Student organization seat-
ing is in effect until 45 min-
utes before kickoff or capacity
is reached in the lower bowl,
whichever comes first, it says.
Additionally, for every ticket
a student does not use or trans-
fer by halftime, 1.5 penalty
points will be assigned to their
account. If you do not donate

Set back from the bus-
tling traffic of University
Boulevard sits the icon-
ic white house of the
University: the Presidents
Mansion. Overlooking the
heart of campus, the ante-
bellum home represents not
just the residence of campus
leaders, but a historical arti-
fact preserved for over 170
years.
Early on, the building
was so big and stunning,
that it was a focal point of the
campus, and it survived the
Civil War, Tom Land, insti-
tutional records analyst for
The University of Alabama,
said. You
have a his-
tory with
it its one
of those
b ui l d i ng s
that did sur-
vive. So its
somethi ng
that we all
have in com-
mon, that
every alum has its the
Presidents Mansion.
The building, which was
constructed between 1839
and 1841, was not origi-
nally included in the cam-
pus plans, according to
University records. UAs
second president, the Rev.
Basil Manly,
and the Board
of Trustees
passed a reso-
lution in 1838
appropriating
funds for the
building.
Originally,
it was not
intended to be
there, Land
said. Dr. Manly wanted it
to be a part of campus near
the academic buildings, and
thats why it was located in
the place that it is. I like it
better this way because it
makes the president a part
of the campus. He is right
there in the middle of every-
thing.
The mansions construc-
tion was planned and super-
vised by architect Michael
Barry and was designed on
a large scale for the era. The
original cost for building
totaled $18,000 and exceeded
what the Board of Trustees
intended to spend. Included
in the plans were a wooden
barn and carriage house, a
privy, a washhouse, a kitch-
en and two slave quarters.

Its something that we

all have in common, that
every alum has its the
Presidents Mansion.

Gardening is more than just
a hobby for the Druid City
Garden Project. The nonprofit
organization uses gardening
in schools to teach children
skills likes math, nutrition
and science. The project will
further branch out and host
its first Garden Party fund-
raiser with food, drinks and
live music Sunday from 5 to 7
p.m. at L&N Train Station.
At the fundraiser, sever-
al local restaurants will be
paired with local farmers to
serve dishes using that farm-
ers produce. Carpe Vino will
host a wine tasting for the VIP
section, and beer and spir-
its will be provided by Good
People Brewing Company.
The Druid City Garden
Project began in 2010 as a
way to connect Tuscaloosa
residents with locally grown,
sustainable food. Students at
University Place and Stillman
Heights Elementary School
work in the garden twice a
week and sell their produce
at subsidized prices at their
weekly on-site farm stand.
For DCGP executive direc-
tor Lindsay Turner, the proj-
ects success is apparent in
the positive, enthusiastic
response from both students
and administrators. It has
also succeeded in getting
children excited to try new,
unconventional foods. In
the past, students have even
declared Kohlrabi, also known
as a German turnip, as their
favorite vegetable.
The biggest indicator [of
our success] is that the admin-
istration, teachers and school
board are really enthusiastic,
and they want us to expand
into other schools, Turner
said. The biggest thing for
me personally is to see all
these kids at such a young age
get so excited and willing to
try different foods.

NEWS | DENNY CHIMES
By Jared Downing
Contributing Writer
The University of
Alabama already honors
nationally recognized stu-
dents with scholarships
and grants, but it is add-
ing a new accolade to the
list: a song played from
Denny Chimes.
Twice a day for the
past two weeks, the
Chimes jingled UAs brand
new tune, Celebrating
Achievement, to honor
Rhodes scholars, Truman
scholars, National Merit
winners and any other
recipients of awards at the
national level.
Now the Chimes will
play the song every time a
student or faculty member
receives a national award,
along with an email from
Student Affairs identify-
ing the honoree.
Its using one tradition
to honor another, said
Debbie Lane, University
spokeswoman who helped
with the project.
Lane said the idea came
from Provost Judy Bonner,
who thought it was time
to add academic achieve-
ment to the list of occa-
sions for the University
to fire up the 83-year-old,
25-bell campanile.
We feel like it will be
played a lot, Lane said.
The University already
boasts 15 Rhodes
Scholars, 37 Goldwater
Scholars and eight
T r u m a n
S c h o l a r s ,
and thats
not includ-
ing faculty
and staff,
who are also
eligible for
a musical
s h o u t - o u t
for national
recognition.
The song was com-
posed this summer by UA
School of Music graduate
student Amir Zaheri and
was played multiple times
over the past two weeks
to make it as recogniz-
able as anything else on
the Chimes playlist, Lane
said.
Nat i onal Me r i t
Scholarship winner Katie
Bauer said
she appre-
ciates the
honor but
h a d n t
noticed the
song at all
during the
l ast two
weeks.
I feel like
even if I had
heard it, I wouldnt have
known what it was about,
she said. But I really
think its a cool idea, espe-
cially if they advertise
it more.
But Bauer says the
University always cel-
ebrated achievement
in an even deeper way.
The National Merit
Corporation gave her a
textbook grant, but the
University topped it with
full tuition and housing, a
study abroad grant and a
laptop computer. Without
the aid, she wouldnt have
been able to pay for col-
lege.
Im proud of the stu-
dents, but Im really just
proud of the University for
being good. Ive had great
classes, great professors
and great opportunities,
Bauer said.
Now she has a place in
the Chimes.

From MCT Campus
CHARLOTTE, N.C. In dam-
age control, the Democratic
Party abruptly reversed course
Wednesday and reinstated lan-
guage to the partys platform
asserting that Jerusalem is the
capital of Israel. The party also
reinstated the word God in
the platform.
The last-minute reversal
followed a day of Democrats
defending their platform, a per-
sonal intervention by President
Barack Obama to put God and
Jerusalem back into the partys
statement of principles and
dissent from some Democrats
who were angry that the party
changed course again so quick-
ly.
Obviously, it makes me feel
a little frustrated that this is
not being truly discussed in
a fair, just way, said Rashida
Tlaib, the first Muslim woman
elected to the Michigan state
Legislature and one of those
who objected to the partys
decision to again recog-
nize Jerusalem. Israelis and
Palestinians have competing
claims over the city.
One of the reversals rein-
stated a statement affirming
the God-given potential of
Americans, which had been
dropped from the platform
adopted Tuesday.
As an ordained United
Methodist minister, I am here
to attest that our faith and
belief in God is central to the
American story, and informs
the values weve expressed in
our partys platform, former
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said.
In addition, President Obama
recognizes Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel, and our partys
platform should as well.
In drafting the original plat-
form spelling out the partys
principles, a party commit-
tee dropped language from
the 2008 document that sup-
ported Jerusalem as the capi-
tal of Israel. The Democratic
National Convention adopted
the platform without debate.
The omission appeared to
track U.S. policy, as the Obama
administration has maintained
the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv
and stressed that the capital of
Israel should be determined in
a final peace negotiation with
the Palestinians. White House
Press secretary Jay Carney
refused earlier this summer, in
response to questions, to say
whether Jerusalem was the
capital.
Republicans, whove stressed
their support for Jerusalem as
Israels capital, pounced on the
party platform Tuesday.
Does the document accu-
rately mirror Barack Obamas
views? asked former Sen.
Norm Coleman of Minnesota,
Republican candidate Mitt
Romneys liaison to the Jewish
community. Given that his top
aides have said that the plat-
form reflects his policies, and
given that his official White
House spokesman has also
refused to name Jerusalem as
Israels capital, that is now an
urgent question to which the
American people deserve an
immediate and unequivocal
response.
Coleman said the Democratic
Party was signaling a radical
shift in its orientation, away
from Israel.
Democrats went on the
defense as they realized theyd
caused problems with a key
constituency: Jewish voters.
Republicans claimed victory,
then pressed Obama to go fur-
ther himself.
Mitt Romney has consis-
tently stated his belief that
Jerusalem is the capital of
Israel. Although todays voice
vote at the Democratic National
Convention was unclear, the
Democratic Party has acknowl-
edged Jerusalem as the capital
of Israel, Romney spokeswom-
an Andrea Saul said.
After furor, Democrats change platform position on Israel, include God

Additionally, for every ticket
a student does not use or trans-
fer by halftime, 1.5 penalty
points will be assigned to their
account. If you do not donate
your ticket by 5 p.m. Friday, you
will receive .5 penalty points.
Students with over three pen-
alty points will not be eligible
for postseason tickets this year
or regular and postseason tick-
ets in 2013.
Some students agree with the
penalties of the point system.
Tyler Shaw, a junior major-
ing in management information
systems, explained it was a fair
way to stop students from sell-
ing or not using all their tickets
and making a profit.
If you dont use or want your
ticket, why not donate it and
not lose the points? Shaw said.
Its that simple.
Caroline McNair, a junior
majoring in accounting, said
the point system helps the
south end of the stadium look
full of Alabama student pride.
It not only encourages stu-
dents who have bought tickets
to attend the game and fill up
the student section, but also it
prevents students from con-
stantly purchasing and then
wasting tickets that are in such
high demand, McNair said.
SGA President Matt
Calderone agreed that getting
in as early as possible to avoid
the long lines is the right idea
for students.
I have gone to every football
game two hours early since I
have attended the University,
Calderone said.
For students who did not pur-
chase a student package, the
waiting list for the ticket bank
becomes available at 1 p.m.
Sunday before a home game.
Parking is also disrupted
due to games, so the University
requires that students who
park on Colonial Drive and in
the Tutwiler lot must move
to other orange lots, such as
Hayden Harris or the Campus
Drive Parking Deck. Fines
of $100 will be issued to cars
that are not moved from these
lots by 5 p.m. Friday, and cars
will be towed at their owners
expense.
UA students enter Bryant-
Denny through Gate 31 and
block seating will be in effect
until 45 minutes before game
time.

Statistically speaking,
you should be wary
By Nathan James
Staff Columnist
Paul Ryan can run a mara-
thon in two hours and fifty
minutes. Its an impressive
figure, until you learn that
its not true.
When Paul Ryan told the
public about his supposed
(and, if true, wildly impres-
sive) marathon time, he was
unhesitating and confident.
So when it came to light that
his actual time was nowhere
near that fast, he apologized
and blamed the error on a
back injury.
For most, this is simply
a laughable blunder. And
compared to many lies, its
relatively harmless. But in
this political climate, its also
an example of an alarming
trend in political dialogue.
Dishonesty is an intrinsic
part of politics, and ostensi-
bly always will be. Its some-
thing that we learn to accept
and deal with as best we can,
having long ago accepted
that we cant really put a stop
to it. But by learning to spot
new kinds of lies and sift out
the genuine from the false,
we can protect ourselves
from the sway of dishonesty.
However, politicians
respond in kind by coming
up with new, creative and
devious ways to disguise
questionable information.
One of their most popular
techniques at this time is to
take statistics out of context,
or simply invent numbers to
support their claims.
The beauty of this tech-
nique is that it often allows
public figures to bypass the
publics internal filters. If
Ryan had said that he was
very fast, Americans would
assume that he was exagger-
ating and ignore the claim.
But when he says that
he can run 26.2 miles in
two hours and fifty
mi nutes, hi s
claim sounds
precise, offi-
cial and gen-
uine.
This applies even if he made
the number up.
By creating statistical data
out of thin air or by taking
it out of context, politicians
can take the most outland-
ish claims and give them-
selves an air of legitimacy.
For claims that already have
some support, an invented
or out-of-context number
can take an embattled prem-
ise and set it in concrete.
For example: during
the Democratic National
Convention, a keynote
speaker, Julian Castro, said
that the president has cre-
ated 4.5 million new jobs
during his term. This is
only true if you ignore all
the jobs that have been lost
during that time. According
to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the actual net
gain in jobs during Obamas
presidency is closer to
300,000.
In other words, the sta-
tistic of 4.5 million which
was recited by the keynote
speaker and two others
during the convention is
inflated by 1,400 percent.
You may have also heard
about U.S. Rep. David
Cicillines claim that the
United States will spend $100
billion in Afghanistan this
year, Romneys unabashed
and almost uncontrolled use
of the word trillion dur-
ing his speech, or even Clint
Eastwoods exaggerated
unemployment claims.
Now, more than ever, poli-
ticians are shamelessly cov-
ering misinformation with
meaningless or conjured
statistics.
So when youre listen-

MCT Campus
Bailey needs to succeed where Witt struggled
By Tray Smith
Staff Columnist
The University of Alabama
got a new president this week,
a moment that invites yet
another discussion on the lega-
cy of our last president. Robert
Witt may have just moved
down the street into the quiet
confines of The University of
Alabama System, but the leg-
acy he leaves after eight years
in Rose Administration offers
several lessons for the next
eight years and beyond.
Witts story is, by now, famil-
iar: a tremendous increase in
the size of our student body, an
increased emphasis on out-of-
state recruiting, more financial
independence from the state
legislature, a greatly improved
and expanded campus infra-
structure, and a return to
national pre-eminence in ath-
letics.
The results have been
phenomenal for both the
University and the surround-
ing Tuscaloosa community,
which has managed to grow
and prosper despite the nation-
al economic recession.
But Witts success in the
business and academic areas
of the University have not
translated into the cultural
growth many students want,
and need, if UA is going to pre-
pare students for success in an
increasingly diverse society.
No, President Witt didnt
segregate the greek system.
Many of the premier campus
groups that make only token
efforts at inclusivity existed
long before he arrived. But he
didnt really do anything about
those issues either.
Maybe Witt, looking back
on a history of morally ambi-
tious UA administrators who
saw their tenures end quickly,
chose to focus on areas where
he thought he could have the
greatest impact. Or maybe he
just chose to neglect any issue
that could threaten his ambi-
tious business plan.
Whatever his motives, his
choices can only be understood
in the context of the great moral
paradox that confronts all lead-
ers at UA. Is it more prudent
to dive straight into the most
controversial issues and likely
fail, or to work within existing
structures and traditions to
advance gradual changes, hop-
ing the eventual result will be
astounding progress?
So far, neither approach has
proven very successful.
Despite the infusion of new
students from new places
under Witts leadership, the
traditions that shape our
student life havent changed
much. Universities form insti-
tutions that reinforce them-
selves over time. Although we
are bringing in thousands of
new freshmen each year, with
diverse backgrounds and dif-
ferent perspectives, these stu-
dents are quickly separated
into existing structures and
adopt attitudes that reflect
those communities.
Breaking that cycle takes
leadership. Today, we com-
memorate Foster Auditorium
as a testament to our prog-
ress as a university the place
where UA was integrated in
1963. But integration only hap-
pened after President Kennedy
sent National Guard troops to
force the sitting governor of
Alabama aside and allow two
black students to enroll.
Sometimes, bold interven-
tion is necessary to challenge
people to overcome prejudic-
es and embrace the highest
notions of American equality.
On financial and enrollment
growth, Robert Witt was cer-
tainly bold. On other issues,
not so much.
Its not that he didnt call
out the National Guard to
force a social justice agenda
on a reluctant student popu-
lation. Its that Witt, a vision-
ary leader who carried out his
plans with remarkable preci-
sion, at times refused to even
have a conversation about the
growth of UA as a community.
And if any president in UA his-
tory had the political capital to
initiate such a conversation,
Robert Witt did.
His failure to do so prompted
criticism not only from people
who dislike him, but also from
people with strong ideologi-
cal convictions about the very
purpose of public higher edu-
cation. From the day Abraham
Lincoln signed legislation cre-
ating land-grant colleges to the
passage of the GI Bill and the
establishment of the Pell Grant
program, public colleges have
been seen as gateways to eco-
nomic and social opportunity
for the middle class. Indeed,
public colleges are responsi-
ble, more than any other insti-
tutions, for creating the middle
class.
When instead, they protect
privilege, so that even students
who have pushed themselves
to the limit of human potential
to earn a spot in college and
figure out a way to pay for it
are not given the full opportu-
nities their college offers, they
fail not only morally, but they
fail at their single most impor-
tant purpose.
UA has opened the gateways
of opportunity for thousands
of former students across the
state and nation, both before
Witt got here and since he
arrived. But our love for the
University should compel us to
open those gateways for every-
one who has rightfully entered
our campus, so that the true
breadth of the Alabama expe-
rience we have come to love is
available to the entire student
body.
Fulfilling that dream now
falls to Guy Bailey, who has
inherited from Witt a much
healthier campus than Witt
found when he arrived in
2003. Hopefully, he can pick up
where Witt left off, and succeed
where Witt struggled most.

Shoes dont make you fast; dedication cannot be replaced by government
To anyone whos ever run,
or merely entertained the
thought of running, the above
statement should seem inher-
ently obvious. Who hasnt
bought a shiny new pair of
sneakers in hopes of real-
izing their inner Usain Bolt?
If youre like me, that dream
never quite materialized. No
shoe can replace the endur-
ance training and devotion
necessary to improving ones
running ability.
This principle also carries
into the economy, in which
the initiative and ingenu-
ity of individuals cannot be
replaced by any degree of gov-
ernment administration. One
would hope that the execu-
tive leader acknowledges
this guiding principle, as any
chance for an economic recov-
ery depends on it.
In his July 13 speech in
Roanoke, Va., President
Obama took a moment to
stray from the teleprompter
and give America a bit of
insight to his philosophy of
individual success. Referring
to Americans who owned
businesses, he claimed [they]
didnt build that. Someone else
made that happen. To put the
remarks in context, the presi-
dent was highlighting some of
the services government pro-
vides, such as great teach-
ers and roads and bridges.
Theres no denying that the
federal government exists to
do that which the people, and
the states, cannot do for them-
selves. But in no way can the
nations history of prosperity
be attributed to government
activity.
Consider the function of
a running shoe. A good pair
of running shoes does that
which our feet cannot do
alone. Shoes protect the sole
of the foot, provide arch sup-
port and protect the bones
and joints of the leg. Running
barefoot would be quite
upsetting to ones podiatric
comfort. In the end, though,
shoes dont make you fast.
The runner, not the shoe,
takes the initiative to prac-
tice, train and repeat until his
or her performance improves.
Imagine the outcry that would
arise if Puma, the maker of
Usain Bolts 2012 track shoes,
were to try to take credit for
the athletes numerous gold
medals, claiming their shoe
had won the race. Granted,
the 100-meter world record
probably could not have been
set by anyone running bare-
foot, but to emphasize the
role of the shoe over that of
the runners initiative is sim-
ply delusional.
Yet the president put forth
the same logic in his Roanoke
speech. Throughout his first
term, Obama tried to orches-
trate an economic recovery
from Washington. His 2009
Recovery Act, meant to revi-
talize Americas economic
engine, showered hundreds of
billions of federal taxpayer
dollars to various public
works, programs and private
enterprises. Though deemed a
failure by his own admission,
Stimulus Round 1 might look
like a warm-up stretch com-
pared to Obamas agenda in
the next four years. If the gov-
ernment could just hire more
teachers, build more roads
and bridges, and fund more
public aid programs, then we
could experience the kind of
growth necessary to climb out
of the recession. President
Obama believes the govern-
ment is, and always has been,
what makes America prosper-
ous. Fortunately, he is wrong.
Thanks to the opportu-
nity created by our free eco-
nomic system, Americans
have an inherent desire to
pursue prosperity. While the
Internet didnt get invented
on its own, as the president
pointed out, only private
enterprises recognized and
developed the economic
potential of the Internet.
And though we all have
great teachers, we still
strive to rise to the top of our
class, and in the process, raise
the bar for our classmates. Its
not in our nature as a country
to look for a better running
shoe when were not at the top
of our game, but to instead get
out on the track and work our
butts off until were back at
the head of the pack. Before
we can do this, the president
must realize we hired him to
protect liberty and allow the
competitive spirit to flourish.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Accordi ng to
Google Trends, which
measures the fre-
quency of keywords
queried in the Google
search engine, long-
board searches in
the United States have
steadily moved up in
frequency, with year-
ly peaks coming in
the summer months,
since 2004, when the
system began tallying
searches. Popularity
measured a sharp
incline in June 2011,
with Google measur-
ing double the aver-
age of longboard
searches for 2004
through 2012.
Andrew Tielking,
a senior majoring in
economics and long-
boarder since age 13,
said Googles numbers
jive with his anecdot-
al knowledge of the
practices rise at the
University.
My freshman and
sophomore years,
I would literally
see just one person
[longboarding] per
semester. Now, I see
at least three or four
every day on my way
to classes, Tielking
said. [Conventional
skateboards] had
these bursts of popu-
larity in the 70s, 80s,
90s and early 2000s, but it
seems like last year and this
year have really been the first
big longboard boom.
Edroyal Womack, a two-year
longboarder and junior major-
ing in pre-med biology, large-
ly attributes longboardings
increasing popularity to its use
as a mode of transportation on
college campuses.
Im sure it is more of a West
Coast thing because people
that are into surfing and skate-
boarding usually longboard, as
well, Womack said. I feel like
it gets big in college because
its a more enjoyable way to get
to class, rather than riding a
bike or walking.
Tuscaloosa isnt known for
the big hills and sweeping
slopes of the California coast,
but that hasnt stopped UA stu-
dents from hopping on their
boards and cruising around
town and campus.
Madison Sharps, a senior
majoring in management
information systems who has
six years of longboarding expe-
rience, said she primarily rides
her board to get to and from
class. She feels steep descents
arent a prerequisite to enjoy-
ing the activity.
I would say its not really
a West Coast thing, Sharps
said. Its more of a transpor-
tation-skater-fun thing. Where
Im from in Florida has barely
any hills, but its still fun to do.
Brandon Batchelor, a junior
majoring in marketing, said
he got hooked two or three
months ago when he saw a
board in the back of his friends
car and asked to borrow it. Like
Sharps, Batchelor primarily
uses his board for on-campus
transportation, but he never
passes up an opportunity to
have some fun.
I ride it to class, but then I
always find myself taking the
long way home around the
Ferg to take the hill down, he
said.
Tielking spent all of last
school year with a longboard
as his only form of transporta-
tion. He said skating anywhere
between six and ten miles
every day made for excellent
exercise.
I skated to and from class, I
skated to get groceries, I skat-
ed to pay my water bill, electric
bill, Tielking said. When you
ride a lot, your calves blow up.
When you think about it, your
pushing foot is just flicking
back and working that whole
time. I was afraid, Am I going
to have this one monster calf
and one small one? But the
foot on the board is just busy
stabilizing the whole time.
They both feel really tired by
the time youre done.
Despite its relative surge
in popularity, longboarding
remains a niche activity at the
University, one not everybody
is quite used to seeing yet.
Tielking and Casey Crooks,
a senior majoring in biology
and environmental science,
both said their transportation
method of choice draws plenty
of questioning glances from
onlookers.
Whenever I go skate, people
are like, Youre 20 years old,
and youre on a skateboard?
You have to deal with that a
lot, he said.
Crooks said he has been told
by police officers on several dif-
ferent occasions both to get off
of the sidewalk and to get out
of the road. He tries to treat his
board like a bicycle and keep in
the bike lanes when possible.
Naysayers and officers
arent enough to keep Womack
from getting out and enjoying
his experience.
It makes my day better to
board around to each class
while listening to some good
music, he said. I ride for fun
whenever I can. Its my stress
reliever.

S
ome pedestrians may hate it and authorities
may try to catch them when they ride, but
the love for longboarding is only growing
around campus.
According to Michael Brooke in his 1999 book,
The Concrete Wave: The History of Skateboarding,
skateboards were first invented in California in the
early 1950s. These longboard ancestors were built to
resemble surfboards and emulate sidewalk surfing
when the waves were down.
Longboardings laid-back, surfer-dude origins
havent stopped the trend from tenaciously making
its way east and throughout the country in recent
years, especially in colleges and universities.

For most Alabama fans, all
it takes is hearing the first
few notes to recognize The
University of Alabamas fight
song Yea, Alabama! but few
know the history of the iconic
tune.
Yea, Alabama! was origi-
nally written by Ethelred
Lundy Sykes, editor-in-chief
of The Crimson White from
1925 to 1926, in response to
a contest held by Rammer
Jammer, a UA student humor
magazine. The publication
held the contest due to the stu-
dent bodys desire for an origi-
nal fight song, according to
David M. Battles, an American
Studies Scholar and UA histo-
rian.
Sykes won a $50 award
for his composition and in
1926 and was given the Pan-
Hellenic Loving Cup for hav-
ing best served the University
the previous year, according to
Rammer Jammer magazine.
Originally, in 1926, the
fight song included a verse
that referenced former Tide
rival, the Sewanee Tiger of
the University of the South,
but the verse fell out of
fashion and was dropped from
the song, Battles said.
Omission of the verse was
gradual, but the verse is just
not as memorable, tune-wise,
as the chorus, so people do not
recall it as well as they recall
the chorus, which is all you
hear now, Battles said.
Another reason the original
first verse disappeared was
because the Million Dollar
Band found it hard to march to
in tempo, Battles said.
The verse is not really writ-
ten in march style it is a typ-
ical 1920s, almost jazz, tune,
he said. The Million Dollar
Band began omitting the verse
at some point in time because
it is not conducive to being
marched.
The last line normally sung
in the fight song, Roll Tide!
Roll Tide! was not in Sykes
original lyrics but was added
later.
Another notable omission
from the fight song is a refer-
ence to Auburn University,
one of the Tides biggest rivals
of all time.
When Yea, Alabama! was
written, the rivalry between
Alabama and Auburn was in
the midst of a 41-year period
during which the teams never
met on the field, according to a
1948 article in The Tuscaloosa
News.
Skyes composition replaced
the former Alabama fight
song Swing, which belonged
to Washington and Lee
University.
According to Tides of
Tradition edited by Chad
Caples, the song was com-
posed on the Phi Kappa Sigma
fraternity piano.
Although the song only
earned a small reward when it
was first written 86 years ago,
it continues to energize and
excite Alabama fans at every
sporting event.
Dissecting Yea, Alabama!
This is a misspelling of Sewanee
and it refers to The University of the
South in Sewanee, Tenn. At the time,
The University of the South was a
member of the SEC and a rival of the
Tide.
[ ]
[ ]
Both instances of Yellow Jackets
refer to the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets. Georgia Tech, a part of the
Southeastern conference at the time,
left the SEC in 1964
This verse was omitted gradually
because it was not as memorable,
tune-wise, as the chorus.
This refers to the Georgia
Bulldogs.
[ ]
The Bleacher Report listed Yea,
Alabama! as one of 14 Fight Songs
That Call Out Rivals. Auburn,
though, is absent from the song. The
song was written in the midst of a
long suspension of the Iron Bowl.
[
[ ]
On Jan. 1, 1926, The University
of Alabama defeated the
University of Washington by one
point to win the Rose Bowl.
Dixie is the informal name
for the Southern United States of
which Alabama is considered a
member.
[ ]
This was not in the version
Sykes wrote and was added
shortly following the release of
the song by Bama fans.

Students with a knack for tak-
ing care of kids can now apply
to be a baby-sitter through one
of two new programs aiming to
connect student parents with
suitable keepers for their chil-
dren.
The Graduate Parent Support
and Undergraduate Parent
Support, have established
the UA GPS/UPS Babysitting
Network to assist students with
children. Through that pro-
gram, eligible students can post
their profile, resume, schedule
and minimum hourly wage on a
listserv for parents to look over.
Both Sitters for Service and
the GPS/UPS Babysitting net-
work are relatively new to the
University. The UA Graduate
School founded GPS in the fall of
2009 to help parent students cope
with the challenges of managing
both studies and parenting.
UAs Student Services
launched UPS a few months
later to meet similar needs of
undergraduate students and
began the Sitters for Service
program that same year.
According to Cori Perdue,
the Work Life manager for
the University, the Sitters for
Service program is the first of
its kind in the country.
Two universities have con-
tacted us to try to set up a simi-
lar program, Perdue said.
In the past three years the
program has had over 150 vol-
unteer sitters. Savanna Barlow,
a sophomore majoring in
accounting, applied recently to
join that number.
I have worked as a baby-sit-
ter for years and have also been
involved in many community
service projects, said Barlow.
This program allows me to
combine my love for both.
The GPS/UPS Babysitting
Network, however, is a brand
new program. According to
Perdue, GPS founded the pro-
gram to meet the needs of a
larger university.
Sitters for Service can only
help so many, Perdue said. The
Network, she explains, helps
assist a large student body.
Now we have over 900 students
with children who have signed
up to be on the listserv. There
probably are more.
Perdue, a student-parent
herself, envisions the program
expanding.
We have a vision for it to be
bigger, Perdue said. A family
helpers database pet sitting,
house sitting, geek squad, lawn
care, tutoring a place where
students who are looking for
short-term, part-time work
can post kind of like our own
Craigslist.
Applicants must be at
least 18 and have previous
experience as a baby-sitter
or nanny. Students are then
contacted directly by interest-
ed parents.
Students also have the
option of applying to volun-
teer their services in exchange
for service hours through the
Sitters for Service program.
This program is a closed sys-
tem that selects 30 volunteers
and 30 parents. Applicants
go through a more extensive
application and interview
process than those applying
for the Babysitting Network.
Selected students may volun-
teer for 20, 30 or 40 hours per
semester.
Student-parents are cho-
sen randomly from an appli-
cant pool of graduate and
undergraduate students. The
deadline for students and stu-
dent-parents to apply for the
Sitters for Service Program
is Friday, Sept. 14. Students
can go online at gps.ua.edu
or contact Cori Perdue at
cperdue@fa.ua.edu to apply.

Politicians, pundits and
party members have con-
verged in Charlotte, N.C.,
for this weeks Democratic
National Convention, and
six University of Alabama
students made the trek to
volunteer with the Alabama
Democratic Party.
Will Dodd, a senior major-
ing in political science and his-
tory, interned with the state
party in Montgomery over the
summer and jumped at the
chance to attend the conven-
tion with the state delegation.
I felt it was important
enough to miss school
because I knew the connec-
tions and experience Id have
would kind of offset missing
my classwork, Dodd said.
Weve worked 20-hour days,
but the connections Ive made
working with the party on a
national level mean a lot, and
I think thats worth it in the
end.
Dodd and other UA students
traveled to Charlotte last
week and are spending their
time working at the Alabama
delegations headquarters,
Sweet Home AlObama. They
work to set up events, like
a football tailgate Saturday
or state delegation break-
fasts, where theyve hosted
prominent speakers like Sen.
Tom Harkin and Howard
Dean.
Austen Parrish, a senior
majoring in
economics who
also interned
in Montgomery
over the sum-
mer, said he
never pictured
himself working
in politics.
Its not the
flashy cam-
paigns or talk-
i ng poi nts
that keep me involved,
Parrish said. Its the over-
whelming effect politics
can have on our everyday
lives that makes me feel
an obligation.
Dodd said he wanted to get
involved with state politics
to learn more
about how
things work in
Alabama, and
he enjoys rep-
resenting his
home state at
the convention.
My favorite
part is just being
able to repre-
sent Alabama,
to let people
know that the Democratic
Party is still alive and working
in Alabama, Dodd said.
Though the hours are long
and the workload strenu-
ous, the other students
echo Parrishs sense of duty
and motivation for getting
involved in politics.
Beth Clayton, a student
at Auburn University and
president of the Alabama
College Democrats, is work-
ing in Charlotte with the UA
students and said she works
in politics to help her peers
understand the issues.
I feel like a lot of young
Americans are frustrated by
the divisive nature of politics
and cant see whats really on
the line with each election,
Clayton said.
Prominent issues in the
national political scene, like
affordable healthcare and stu-
dent loans, that are relevant
to college-aged students also
piqued their interests.
Not only should we advo-
cate for a better community
for ourselves, we owe it to our
children to fight for them the
way our parents fought for
us, Clayton said.
Though Dodd, Parrish and
Clayton will come back home
to Alabama at the conven-
tions conclusion, their inter-
est in politics and policy is not
likely to wane any time soon.
Dont get involved in
politics to elect a politician,
Parrish said. Get involved for
the policies that affect you and
your community.

According to University
records, on April 6, 1865, the
University was set ablaze
by Yankee Soldiers, also
known as Craxtons Raiders.
The president at the time,
Landon Garland, and his
family had sought refuge at
Bryce Hospital, but his wife,
Frances Louisa Garland,
returned to save the mansion
from destruction.
Today, the mansion stands,
situated between Rose
Administration and Little
Hall and is now the home
to the Universitys 37th
president, Guy Bailey, as of
Tuesday.
Id never been in the
Presidents Mansion, and
its an absolutely beautiful
place, Bailey said.
The building, which has
received multiple renova-
tions over the years, features
three floors. The first two
are used for public events
and tours, while the third
floor remains the private
residence of the Universitys
president and his wife. The
most notable renovation, a
complete remodel, was in
1908. A central
steam heating
system, new
fl oors, new
plumbing and
wiring were
i nstal l ed i n
addition to the
exterior being
re-stuccoed and
painted white.
We live on
the third floor and its very
comfortable, Bailey said.
Its been made into a mod-
ern apartment, so its a great
place to live.
Cathy Andreen, UA spokes-
woman, said all UA presidents
use the Presidents man-
sion for official University
functions and entertaining;
however, presidents choose
whether or not to live full
time in the mansion based on
personal and family needs.
Bailey, who will be residing
in the mansion full time, said
he enjoys living in the center
of campus.
Its great to look out every
day and see students walking
to class and see

ity, he said.
For some,
the mansion
remai ns an
elaborate house
located across
from Denny
Chimes, but for
many it acts a
symbol of the
Universitys history.
The Chimes werent built
until 1929, and people nowa-
days tend to think of the
Chimes and the Quad, but in
terms of the long-term his-
tory of the University, every-
body has had the Presidents
Mansion, Land said. [It] has
a very long history, and I dont
think we get too far from it;
its part of the charm.

Autumn television brings some hidden gems that will be worth watching
By Billy Whyte
Its always exciting when
fall rolls around the calendar
each year; the weather gets
cooler, Alabama starts its
annual domination at foot-
ball, and a new batch of excit-
ing, mostly terrible, televi-
sion shows come on air.
For all the time spent
watching wonderful break-
out shows such as last years
Homeland or New Girl,
most of our time is spent
watching one year duds such
as Charlies Angels, I Hate
My Teenage Daughter or
Are You There, Chelsea?
And really, this isnt that
surprising considering an
overall drop of quality pro-
gramming of late has led to a
bunch of confounding renew-
als ranging from the boring
Touch to the downright
atrocious Whitney.
And thats why Im here, to
go dumpster diving through
a sea of mediocre television
shows and find a few hidden
gems worth watching this
fall so you wont be wasting
your time watching the hor-
rible ones. After conducting
research and watching mul-
tiple pilots, here are my picks
for the new shows worth
watching this fall.
Last Resort (Premieres Sept.
27 on ABC)
The show is about a ren-
egade crew of a missile sub-
marine that defies order
to launch nuclear missiles
at Pakistan and then is
attacked by their own gov-
ernment without warning,
leaving the crew for dead
on an island. Knowing that
they are enemies of their
own country, they make
camp and declare them-
selves their own sovereign
nation with nuclear capa-
bility until they are able
to prove their innocence
and get back the United
States. And if that isnt
cool enough, the show stars
movie star Scott Speedman
(the vampi re/werewol f
from the Underworld movie
series) and Emmy win-
ner Andre Braugher. An
awesome premise com-
bined with great actors
means it should definite-
ly be an exciting show
worth watching.
Arrow (Premieres Oct. 10
on The CW)
What are the two most pop-
ular individual super hero
movie franchises right now?
The Batman and Iron Man
series. What do they have in
common? Some billionaire
becomes a complete badass
after experiencing a life-
altering event and decides to
fight crime and injustice. So
if we love Batman and Iron
Man, in theory we should
love Arrow, a show about
an arrogant billionaire play-
boy coming home after being
presumed dead and becomes
a vigilante that devotes his
time to fighting crime and
righting the wrongs of his
family all so he can make
amends for his past actions.
Plus, Stephen Amell looks
perfectly cast for the role,
and the show is based on the
thrilling and underrated DC
comic book Green Arrow,
which means, if the quality
of the comic books plot is
any indication, the TV show
should be great.
nchollywood.com
Revolution, produced by J.J. Abrams (creator of Lost), premieres Sept. 11 on NBC.
The New Normal (Premieres
Sept. 11 on NBC)
The premise is a gay couple
(The Hangover star Justin
Bartha and Tony Award win-
ning The Book of Mormon
star Andrew Rannells) finds
a single mother to be a surro-
gate to help them start a fam-
ily, much to the annoyance
of her mother. First, I would
like to say its hard for me to
endorse any Ryan Murphy
show, especially considering
the recent disastrous third
season of Glee. But, like
Glee and American Horror
Story, the pilot was a lot
more original and captivating
than most new shows com-
ing out, and was funny and
original enough to at least be
given a shot this fall.
Revolution (Premieres Sept.
17 on NBC)
The show is about a post-
apocalyptic future where all
technology has been perma-
nently disabled, forcing peo-
ple to adapt to a world with-
out technology and a collaps-
ing society. The focus of the
show is on the Matheson
family, who possess an item
that can not only tell them
what caused the technology
crash, but maybe even a pos-
sible way to reverse it. The
premise sounds intriguing
enough and the shows bud-
get guarantees some cool
visuals at least. But really
the main reason to watch it is
because its produced by J.J.
Abrams (creator of Lost)
and stars Breaking Bad
villain Giancarlo Esposito
as the shows bad guy. Those
two men alone guarantee the
show will at least be worth
watching.

Alabama Blues Project hosts concert series
By Mary Hendon Debray
Contributing Writer
The Alabama Blues Project,
a local nonprofit organization
dedicated to educating the
public about Alabama blues
heritage, will be hosting the
first concert of a fundraising
series on Sept. 7 at the Bama
Theatre. Headlining the bene-
fit is internationally renowned
blues band, Wet Willie, with
Bad Brad and the Sipsey Slims
as the opening act.
Paula Demonbreun, execu-
tive director of Alabama
Blues Project, said the concert
series, Operation Get Down,
was designed to help provide
funding for their After School
Blues Camp.
The After School Blues
Camp provides children
with a healthy opportunity
to express themselves while
learning the importance of life
skills such as team work, dis-
cipline, self development and
creativity, all while working
together with their peers and
learning to play the instru-
ment of their choice.
The Alabama Blues Project
is eager to have a new gen-
eration interested in the blues
and also give them an oppor-
tunity to share the music with
at-risk kids in the Tuscaloosa
and Northport communities,
Demonbreun said.
The main performance
will be by Wet Willie, a band
formed in 1969 in Mobile, Ala.
The group has had several top
10 hits since then, including
Keep on Smilin, Weekend
and Airport. In 1990 the
band was inducted into the
Georgia Music Hall of Fame,
and in 2001 they became mem-
bers of Alabamas Music Hall
of Fame.
Concert director Brad Guin,
who is also the Brad of Bad
Brad and the Sipsey Slims,
said Wet Willie was chosen to
perform because their music
is heavily influenced by the
blues.
They scream Alabama
music, Guin said. We want
to maintain a local feel and
support our areas talent.
Guin said Alabama Blues
project is stepping up their
game for concerts in order to
build awareness and assist
the children of the program.
He said the organizations
goal is to host concerts regu-
larly that will fund the non-
profit while also bettering our
state and local communitys
music scene.
We really hope to host con-
certs of higher caliber and tal-
ent, and Wet Willie is a great
start, he said.
Guin has taught at the
Alabama Blues Project for
over 10 years and currently
plays with three of his former
students in Bad Brad and the
Sipsey Slims.
We not only teach the stu-
dents about Alabamas musi-
cal heritage and the power of
music, but we also teach the
importance of professional-
ism, Guin said. We hope to
influence at-risk kids with a
form of musical mentoring.
In addition to playing with
former students, Guin has
performed with acts such
as BB King, Gregg Allman
and Alabamas own Clarence
Carter.
I am looking forward
the most to seeing kids we
brought up get to be on stage
with some of the greats,
he said. And playing in my
hometown is always an added
bonus.
Tickets for the concert
are $25 and available on the
Alabama Blues Projects web-
site. For more information,
call (205) 752-6263 or visit

Kentuck Art Center holds monthly Art Night
Diverse line-up features three artists and groups who have used salvaged wood, pottery as media
By Lauren Carlton
Contributing Writer
Kentuck Art Center in
Northport is kicking off
September with a diverse Art
Night line-up designed to cel-
ebrate and showcase art creat-
ed through different mediums.
This months Art Night will
be held Thursday, Sept. 6 from
5 to 9 p.m. at Kentuck Art
Center and will feature the
works of three featured artists
or groups and a musical per-
formance.
New York-based artist, Ellie
Ali will open How do you get
to Dreamland from here? in
the Main Avenue Gallery.
Ali, a self-taught artist with
more than 50 years of experi-
ence, is excited to be back in
Northport collaborating with
Kentuck.
Art grows out of the earth
here, she said. You could say
I am a Northerner who dis-
covered the South with great
joy. I love the art, the food, the
people.
Ali is heavily influenced
by the writers, musicians and
painters of the 1950s and 60s,
along with ancient art. She
estimates about 20 paintings
will be shown at Kentuck on
Thursday.
The title of her exhibit,
How do you get to Dreamland
from here? was inspired by a
conversation she had in 2001 at
an art festival in Birmingham,
Ala. Ali asked a colleague
how to get to Dreamland Bar-
B-Que but couldnt focus on
their answer because she was
struck by the beauty of the
question.
Its just the nicest title,
Ali said. I feel like everyone
has a dream land.
The exhibit is not specifi-
cally designed to depict any
particular dream land. It will
offer a collection with ideas
inspired by dream-like quali-
ties. Alis artistic process is a
journey. She said she usually
does not have something in
mind when she starts to paint,
but rather lets herself go into
her artistic zone.
The Friends of Hurricane
Creek will present a group
show in Clarke Gallery with
Its All Good - Hurricane
Creek Reclaimed Wood Art.
FOHC is a local group whose
mission is to protect and pre-
serve Alabamas Hurricane
Creek. All the pieces of art
are made from wood salvaged
from the April 27, 2011 tornado
wreckage at Watsons Bend
Campground near the creek.
FOHC is readying them-
selves for The Creek Wood Art
Contest and Exhibit to be held
later in the month at Kentuck.
The winners of the contest
will be announced Sept. 27 at
Creekstravaganza.
The featured potter of
the Kentuck Clay Co-Op
on Thursday will be Fred
Mitchell. Identifying himself
as the old guy in the over-
alls, Mitchell will be at the
Clay Place along with mem-
bers who will be hosting a
gelato bowl fundraiser. Gelato
will be provided by Marys
Cakes and Pastries.
I began to make pottery
around 2002 because I was
drawn by the surprise factor
of opening the kiln and the
pure fun of playing with mud,
Mitchell said. My pottery is
both functional and unique
no two pieces are alike.
Local musician George
McLaurine will be the fea-
tured performer on Art Night.
His musical style is acoustic,
yet diverse, with an empha-
sis on being family-friendly.
McLaurines repertoire fea-
tures folk, pop, gospel, early
country, bluegrass and rocka-
billy standards.
In addition to the shows in
the main galleries, Kentucks
studio artists will be in
attendance to guide visitors
through their works-in-prog-
ress. The Cob Oven Crew will
also be on hand, preparing
free pizza in the Courtyard of
Wonders.
Ryan Landis, a doctoral
music student at the University
of Alabama, attended an Art
Night at Kentuck last fall with
his family. He appreciated
the work and knowledge of
the artists present and said
it would be an event he would
likely attend again.
I would encourage people
to go and broaden their cul-
tural horizons, Landis said.
Its especially important to
support local and contempo-
rary artists.
Simple designs separate independent games, throw them into spotlight

Outlets such as Steam
and Desura on PCs and
their more limited siblings
on Xbox Live and PlayStation
Network have allowed the
indie gaming scene to grow
exponentially in the past few
years, throwing them into
the spotlight more than ever.
And since quality rarely falls
in line with quantity, there
have been far more duds than
Minecrafts released into
the world. What separates
these products tiers criti-
cally and commercially are
not, however, related to the
skill or budget of developers,
but an important and succinct
design philosophy: simplicity.
In general, to earn their
moniker as indie game
developers, these indepen-
dent groups are made up
of small and often inexpe-
rienced teams with mini-
mal amounts of funding. Of
course, these developers are
aware they are physically
and monetarily incapable
of producing something in
the vein of Call of Duty or
Mass Effect. However, their
downfall comes in attempt-
ing to replicate big-budget
ideas without regard for the
feasible scope of their proj-
ects. Take the highly antici-
pated, but critically panned,
A Valley Without Wind, for
example, which attempted to
create an open-world, proce-
durally generated platformer
with in-depth RPG and city-
building elements. If you
had trouble following along
with that description, thats
exactly the problem with
many indie products. This
game and others essentially
cave in upon their own flurry
of underdeveloped and over-
thought mechanics, resulting
in a confusing and unfulfill-
ing experience.
Its when products have
a simple idea or philosophy
which they make clear and
execute well that they gradu-
ate from being a poor mans
According to Turner, DCGP
teaches children more than
just the practical aspects of
gardening. Students learn
about nutrition and even job
skills such as marketing. They
also get the satisfaction of
seeing the fruits of their labor
in the most literal sense.
There are several oppor-
tunities for University of
Alabama students to get
involved with DCGP by vol-
unteering through their web-
site. Volunteers can work to
maintain the garden during
regular garden hours or work
with children during educa-
tion days or at the farm stand,
helping with nutrition pro-
grams and cooking demon-
strations.
Were teaching them
accounting and how to market
the produce theyve grown, so
we encourage UA students to
mentor the kids during these
programs, Turner said.
Following the Garden Party
on Sunday, there will be a
free screening at the Bama
Theatre of Eating Alabama,
a documentary film by DCGP
co-founder and UA professor
Andrew Grace. The film is
about the year-long experi-
ment during which he and his
wife Rashmi ate only food pro-
duced in Alabama.
Graces experience in
Eating Alabama made him
aware of the disparity between
perceptions about agriculture
in Alabama and
the reality of
Alabama farm-
ers struggles.
I think that
most people in
Alabama have
a sense that
we come from
an agricultural
state, and were
very closely
connected to
agriculture and
the land, Grace
said. And the
reality that there are very
few farmers left and that the
farmers that are left have a
really hard time making a liv-
ing rubs a little bit against our
ideas about this place.
The idea for DCGP grew
out of Andrew and Rashmis
local eating project as a way
to the make up for lack of
education about food and
its origins.
We started to realize that
theres not a lot of education
about where food comes from
and one way we thought we
could help affect change in
that regard was to start the
school garden, Grace said.
Grace hopes this fundraiser
will encourage restaurants to
buy produce from local farm-
ers and start a conversation
that will make
people more
mindful about
from where the
food they buy
actually comes.
When you
have an event
thats focused
on the produc-
ers, the people
that grow the
food, then hope-
fully when the
people who
attend the event
eat this really wonderful food,
theyll maybe think more
about where theyre buy-
ing: from the market or local
farmers, Grace said. Tickets
to the Garden Party are avail-
able at www.druidcitygarden-
project.org. Student tickets
are $25, general admission
is $35 in advance, $40 at the
door. VIP tickets are $50 and
are reserved for ages 21 and
up.

jack-of-all trades and into a
product worth playing, or at
least discussing. Slender,
the recent product of Parsec
Productions, steps into the
familiar boundaries of first-
person gaming but contains
itself to the objective of col-
lecting pieces of paper in
a dark forest and avoiding
slender man. Where its
mechanics are simplistic,
familiar and quickly learned,
the focus of the game is clear-
ly in its atmospheric pres-
ence. Its minimalistic sound
effects and music, paired
with the overall darkness
and visual impairment, as
slender man nears toys with
your emotions and creates
a chilling experience in this
freeware game, is unparal-
leled by most of its contem-
poraries in the horror game
genre. If you dont believe
me, the rash of Slender
reaction videos currently
flooding YouTube may well
convince you.
Coming from the other end
of the spectrum, AaAaAA!!!
A Reckless Disregard for
Gravity from Dejobaan
Games cares
little for story-
telling or atmo-
sphere, but
focuses instead
on one adren-
a l i n e - b a s e d
mechanic and
a colorful aes-
thetic. As its
name hints
your objec-
tive is simply
to fall. Falling
through certain
markers and avoiding obsta-
cles through a cavalcade of
lights and shapes results
in a tight and addicting
adrenaline rush generating
that one-more-level itch. Indie
hits, such as Minecraft,
Braid, Legend of
Grimrock or Super Meat
Boy have an unquestion-
able depth to them. However,
its their commitment to a
sharply tuned
set of ideas and
mechanics that
separate them
from the pack
and allow them
to punch above
their weight.
As the com-
munity grows
and creativity
expands, indie
games will con-
tinue to find
and unlock new
and old concepts to the gam-
ing tapestry and remind us
that not every game needs to
be part of an epic trilogy or
a multi-million dollar budget.
Its when products have a
simple idea or philosophy
which they make clear
and execute well that
they graduate from being
a poor mans jack-of-all
trades and into a product
worth playing, or at least
discussing.

Saban, team not overlooking Kentucky Hilltoppers

By Zac Al-Khateeb
Staff Reporter
Despite Alabamas dominant
performance over the Michigan
Wolverines Saturday, head
coach Nick Saban is stressing
to his team not to buy into the
hype or look past the Western
Kentucky Hilltoppers.
Theres a tremendous bal-
ance between humility and
confidence, and this game is
a struggle, Saban said. Its a
struggle every day. Its work
every day around here, to keep
our guys on track, to have a
little bit of humility and confi-
dence.
Saban stressed that point
even in the past when his
teams played against oppo-
nents in neutral site games
and his team didnt perform
up to standards the next week.
The first time it happened, in
2008, Alabama struggled to a
20-6 win against Tulane after
demolishing Clemson 34-10.
The next year, Alabama beat
Virginia Tech 34-24 and fol-
lowed up with a 40-14 win over
Florida International, giving
up 204 yards of offense and
committing seven penalties for
65 yards. Sabans mes-
sage seems to have hit home
for his players, including soph-
omore receiver DeAndrew
White, who scored a 51-yard
touchdown reception against
Michigan.
White said Saban has kept
his team focused on improv-
ing and facing the Hilltoppers,
rather than coasting to a win.
Coach has been on us
[in practice], White said.
Pushing us, pushing us to get
better, not to overlook anybody
and keep on pushing forward
For us, we take it one game
a time and look forward to the
next game we have in store.
Mandell continuing to
improve
Junior punter Cody Mandell,
like most of his team, is trying
to avoid becoming complacent
and working to become better
at his position. Mandell punted
four times for an average of 47
yards per punt.
Still, he had three punts over
50 yards, with the other being
downed at the Michigan 2-yard
line. Mandell attributed his
growth as a punter to the work
he put in over the summer.
Over the offseason, I really
worked on technique and my
form, Mandell said. And
just hitting all the little things
right. Im just working every
day to get a little bit better, and
I worked with a lot of coaches
over this summer to work on
my technique, and my tech-
nique has just shown in the
game.
Saban noticed Mandells
growth and consistency in
the game as well. Saban said
he was pleased not only with
Mandells in-game consistency,
but his consistency in practice
also.
Everything we saw, good or
bad, we saw in practice, Saban
said. So Codys been practic-
ing very, very well Hes
punting better in practice, hes
punting better in the game.
Lester: leadership not just
for older guys
Robert Lester has been tak-
ing Sabans message of con-
stantly improving to heart this
week. Lester said the defense,
particularly the secondary, is
avoiding overlooking a com-
plicated Hilltopper offensive
scheme.
Theyre a very intelligent
offense, Lester said. They
run a lot of shifts and motions,
and youve got to be on your Ps
and Qs to be ready for it. They
do a lot of things to get our
guys out of position.
As part of the secondarys
preparation for the Hilltoppers,
Lester said the defense was
practicing as hard as pos-
sible against the scout team
Wednesday. Still, Lester said
he hasnt had trouble keeping
the younger guys in the sec-
ondary from working hard.
We take it upon ourselves
for everybody to work hard,
Lester said. There might be
something 10 of the other guys
might not see, and you might
see it, and youre a freshman,
and we expect you to call it
out.
Injury Update
Everyone pract i ced
Wednesday, except freshman
linebacker Reggie Ragland.
Saban listed Ragland as the
most questionable player for
Saturdays game.

Experience at Cowboys Stadium second to none, changes view of Bryant-Denny
By Marc Torrence
Assistant Sports Editor
I had heard pretty much every-
thing you could about Cowboys
Stadium before last weekends
big game. Friends who had
been there, as well as numer-
ous sports pundits, all seemed
to agree that the stadium was
big, nice and fancy.
But nothing I heard or read
could have ever prepared me for
experiencing it in person as I did
on Friday and Saturday.
My first in-person glimpse of
Jerry World - the massive struc-
ture that Dallas Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones opened in May
2009 - came around 9 a.m. on
Friday morning, just five hours
removed from the nearly 10-hour
treck from Tuscaloosa to Dallas.
My eyes may have been heavy
that morning, but what I saw
shot them open immediately.
The stadium looks big from
the highway but so do most. You
dont really get a feel for how big
a stadium actually is until you
get up close and personal with
it. When the rest of The Crimson
White sports crew and I walked
up to the mammoth collection of
steel and mortar, we knew this
was no ordinary stadium.
The best way Ive found to
describe Cowboys Stadium in
the few days since Ive been
there is a gigantic, five-star hotel
with a football field in the middle
of it. Everything from the carpet
to the walls to the lighting is
first-class and almost feels like
the inside of a palace. There are
TVs everywhere and murals of
old Cowboys triumphs line the
walls and elevators.
And did I mention the video
board?
Its hard to put into words the
glistening screen that stretches
from 20-yard line to 20-yard line.
Yes, its big, but the picture is
crystal clear. Even sitting high
up in the press box, there was no
mistaking what was on the dis-
play. Most of the time, the play-
ers on the screen appeared larg-
er than the players on the field.
But its also the little things
that made my Cowboys Stadium
experience one to remember.
The main thing that jumped out
to me was the numerous friend-
ly staff members located just
about everywhere you looked.
They were always happy to
point me in the right direction
and never did so with a sense of
annoyance.
Its difficult to imagine your
favorite team playing in such
a venue week-in and week-
out (the Cowboys, in fact, are
my least favorite professional
sports team). And on Saturday,
when I step into Bryant-Denny
Stadium, Ill do something I
never thought would. Ill think
to myself, Is this it?
Mens golf team to compete in Carpet Collegiate Classic
By David Marshburn
Contributing Writer
The University of Alabama
Mens golf team could only
watch as the Texas longhorns
hoisted the NCAA mens cham-
pionship trophy back in June.
After suffering a disappointing
loss and placing second in last
years finals, the Crimson Tide
is looking to take the title in
the upcoming season.
Alabama enters its first tour-
nament of the season ranked
No. 1 nationally, and the play-
ers aim at keeping that coveted
spot all year long. The team
will travel to Rocky Face, Ga.
to compete in the 24th annual
Carpet Collegiate Classic Golf
Tournament at The Farm Golf
Course this weekend.
Five players will represent
the Tide over three days of play,
with the winner announced
after Sundays final round.
Each team will play 18 holes
per day for three days. The top
four of five lowest scores count
towards the teams total, and
the team with the lowest over-
all score after 54 holes wins the
tournament.
Alabama lacks little in tal-
ent and experience. Four of the
seven players return this sea-
son, with three earning a spot
on last years All-American
team. Its ace in the hole lies in
Justin Thomas, the preseason
top ranked play-
er. The sopho-
more enters his
second season
with three indi-
vidual wins
under his belt,
one being last
years Carpet
C o l l e g i a t e
Classic. Thomas
also took home
the 2012 Jack
Nicklaus Award as well as
the Haskins Award, an honor
bestowed to the most outstand-
ing collegiate golfer in the
nation.
I think our preseason rank-
ing motivates us
to finish what
we started, said
Thomas. We
came so close
last year, but I
think we took
that as a learn-
ing experience
and hope it will
strengthen us
this season.
Though this
may count as Alabamas first
tournament, it resembles noth-
ing close to a tune-up match.
The Tide must show a top per-
formance if it expects to emerge
victorious. Six out of the 15
teams competing this weekend
enter the season ranked in the
top 25 of the Coaches Poll.
You want to play the best,
said head coach Jay Seawell.
Playing fierce competition
is how you get better, and it
makes you find out a lot about
yourself.
Among the opposition is
No. 2 Texas, which slightly
edged out Alabama to win the
2012 NCAA Championship.
Other notable adversaries
include the Tides bitter rival,
No. 6 Auburn, as well as No. 7
Georgia Tech, the host for this
weekends tournament.
The Tide rides into Georgia
with high expectations, and
Seawell feels his team will
deliver. Of all his players
strengths, he feels their best
attribute lies in team chemis-
try. With a resilient, hungry
core of veteran golfers return-
ing, Alabama expects to make
a strong run for the title.
We just got to play
our game, said Thomas.
Everyone has played on a big
stage before. If we just go out
there and execute our game
plan, we should come out on
top.
We came so close last year,
but I think we took that as
a learning experience and
hope it will strengthen us
this season.

The Alabama volleyball team
returns to Foster Auditorium
this weekend to host the ninth
annual Hampton Inn Bama
Bash.
Entering into the tournament
with a 6-1 record, the Crimson
Tide wants to walk away with
four more victories.
Head coach Ed Allen said the
team, made up of nine freshman
and six returning players, has
started to play as one unit.
I think weve progressed as
a team, Allen said. The team
is clearly starting to play better
around one another and that
will continue to grow with new
matches.
The Tide swept the competi-
tion 3-0 in each match at the
Elon Phoenix Classic last week-
end and saw improvement in
reducing errors and increasing
hitting percentage.
We did what we wanted to
do and didnt drop a set and we
came home with progress, set-
ter Andrea McQuaid said.
Over the course of the week-
end there was a noticeable dif-
ference in the Tides defensive
effort, and it hopes to see con-
tinuous improvement this week-
end.
Were definitely becoming
more aggressive in defense,
McQuaid said. Defense is just a
completely different mindset in
the game of volleyball. Its just
see ball, get ball. Youve just got
to go for stuff and never hesitat-
ing and theres always room for
improvement.
McQuaid earned the tourna-
ments Most Valuable Player
award after ending the weekend
with a hitting percentage of .410,
30 kills and five errors.
It was because of my team,
its such a team sport, McQuaid
said of her MVP award. Its a
team sport so we all contribut-
ed in the wins and I dont think
theres one person more than
the other - everyone on the team
is important.
McQuaid attributed much of
her success to freshman setter
Sierra Wilson.
Wilson, who finished the
weekend with 106 assists, 20
digs and five kills, does not want
the team to become compla-
cent heading into the upcoming
weekend.
[Were working on] our men-
tal focus at the beginning of
games and also just staying con-
sistent with our energy through-
out the entire game and being
able to just finish, Wilson said.
That will be something were
going to be working on during
practice.
Starting Friday, Alabama will
look to defend its home court as
Lamar and Austin Peay start off
the round robin style tourna-
ment.
Alabama holds a 2-1 record
against Lamar, and in five meet-
ings since 1989, the Tide is unde-
feated against Austin Peay.
Moving into Saturday, the
Tide hopes to continue its unde-
feated record against Alabama
State and East Tennessee
State. The team anticipates the
match-up, not having faced East
Tennessee in 14 years.
Having studied film and
scouting reports from all four
competitors, Alabama hopes to
control the court despite who is
on the other side of the net.
I consider volleyball to be like
a game of chess, McQuaid said.
Volleyball team hosts Hampton Inn Bama Bash
By Billy Whyte
Staff Reporter
The University of Alabama
womens soccer team, off to its
best start in program history
at 5-0, will look to finish with
a perfect non-conference slate
against Maryland on Thursday.
Maryland will be the Crimson
Tides toughest opponent so far
this season; the Terrapins have
only lost one non-conference
game since 2008.
Their team has the total
package, head coach Todd
Bramble said. They are ath-
letic and good on the ball. They
are going to be well-organized,
and they are going to be good
forward and hard to break
down defensively. They are just
a very well-rounded team.
The game will serve as an
all-important final test for the
Tide before conference play
begins next week. Bramble said
the game will be significant in
terms of seeing how the Tide
stacks up against an SEC qual-
ity opponent.
For us to feel like we are
really prepared for conference
play, there is nothing better
than getting a good ACC team
here to give us exactly what it
looks and feels like, Bramble
said.
It will be an important game
for the Tides defense, which
has yet to be tested this year
due to the teams offense domi-
nating possession in their
first five games. Along with
the questions surrounding
the teams defense, Bramble
is looking forward to seeing if
the teams offense can keep up
their hot pace that carried them
through the first few games.
We need to be solid defen-
sively, Bramble said. We
havent had all the questions
answered yet from a defensive
standpoint, so Im looking for-
ward to seeing how solid we will
be against a team like Maryland.
Offensively we need to be
relaxed and composed on the
ball, keep possession and knock
it around, and build attacks like
we have been able to in some of
our previous games.
In order to be successful
against Maryland, Bramble said
it will be important for the Tide
to keep its composure and swag-
ger that has carried the team
through the first five games.
From a psychological stand-
point, we need to be just as
confident and just as composed
against a big name as we have
in our previous five games,
Bramble said. Our team should
have a lot of confidence in them-
selves. Just because we have a
highly-ranked big name ACC
opponent coming in here for
us, it doesnt mean we need to
change our demeanor and how
we feel about ourselves.

You have to know what to do
before it happens so something
else can happen later down the
road. Its just manipulating
your opponent and working
together as a team.
As with every other match,
the Tide hopes to come out on
top and walk away with a great-
er understanding of each others
tendencies.
Our expectation is to win our
home tournament and to prog-
ress as a team and feel better
collectively and individually,
Allen said. If those three things
happen then well consider it a
success.
