Former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales spoke at the University of Alabama School of Law last night and answered tough questions about the pros-ecution of former Alabama Gov Don Siegelman
Gonzales spoke briefly to the crowd and then opened up the floor for questions from the audi-ence Joseph Siegelman a third year law student and the son of the former governor asked about Gonzalesrsquo knowledge of inconsis-tencies that existed during his fatherrsquos trial
ldquoI donrsquot interject myself into those decisionsrdquo Gonzales said ldquoThat is the responsibil-ity of the Office of Professional Responsibility I donrsquot know the
intricacies of this case but I get asked questions like this a lot and I always answer the same No one lobbied me to move for-ward or stop with this investiga-tionrdquo
Siegelman was convicted in 2006 of seven charges of bribery and mail fraud in connection with Richard Scrushy the founder and former CEO of HealthSouth
According to alcom US House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers of
Michigan sent a letter to Gonzales in July 2007 request-ing ldquodocuments and informa-tion concerning the prosecution of former Gov Don Siegelmanrdquo Gonzales resigned in September 2007
ldquoI felt compelled to ask Gonzales these questionsrdquo Joseph Siegelman said ldquoI feel the Alabama press has failed to report on things that have been going onrdquo
Siegelman was not the only
student who raised questions about his fatherrsquos case A num-ber of other students also asked Gonzales pointed questions
about his knowledge of any wrongdoings in the case
ldquoI was really honored to see everything that my classmates said as wellrdquo Siegelman said ldquoMany of them because they know me have shown an inter-est in the case but I never thought theyrsquod be compelled to confront the former Attorney General of the United States with such questionsrdquo

The Student Government Association has adopted new amendments to its ethics bill that outline minor and major violations that will result in specific sanctions if commit-ted by SGA members
SGA Attorney General Ashley Vickers said the ethics bill which was added to the Code of Laws during the 2011-2012 academic year lacked effectiveness and wasnrsquot enforceable because the origi-nal language lacked specifics
ldquoWhat we kind of saw a need to do in my office and throughout SGA is create spe-cifics for our ethical expecta-tions rather than just stating lsquoYou should be ethicalrsquordquo she said
According to the bill which was authored by Vickers the new amendments define ldquominorrdquo and ldquomajorrdquo vio-lations Minor violations include ldquoMIP [minor in pos-session] MIC [minor in con-sumption] MIL [minor in lounge] Possession of a Fake ID Academic Misconduct or any action which is unbecom-ing of a member of the SGArdquo
SGA members who com-mit minor violations will be required to complete 10 hours of community service in addi-tion to hours required by University local or federal
laws Minor violators will not be in danger of expulsion sus-pension barring from future office or suspension of pay according to the bill
Major violations include ldquoDUI Public Intoxication pos-session of any illegal drugs assault theft or any action which irreparably harms the image mission or success of the SGArdquo
Under a major violation SGA members would be sub-ject to minimum sanctions including 20 community service hours and disquali-fication for any end-of-the-year awards or accolades Violators could also face sus-pension or expulsion from office withholding of pay removal of parking privileges or permanent expulsion from SGA
Vickers said including these specifics in the bill would benefit SGA members and UA students
ldquoThis is kind of a safeguard for the SGA for years to come and also holds us to a higher standard rather than just adding fluff to the documentrdquo she said ldquoThatrsquos what I want-ed to do to give this some teeth and make ourselves accountable to studentsrdquo
Members will sign a waiv-er stating that if they are referred to Judicial Affairs for any violation Judicial Affairs then has the right to inform the SGA advisor who will then notify the attorney general

When SGA membersrsquo violations are brought to light they will under-go a hearing procedure that is also outlined in the new bill Vickers said she worked with the UA Legal Office and the Office of Judicial Affairs to outline the hearing process
Seven justices from the Judicial Board are selected at random to
hear membersrsquo casesChief Justice of the Judicial
Branch Joe Hart said the new bill was necessary to provide clear-cut definitions of expectations
ldquoWe didnrsquot have the best account-ability measures to where even if someone did commit a major viola-tion we didnrsquot have any way to do anything about itrdquo he said ldquoAnd that protects the members because it defines a standard of behavior that we expect out of them If members do commit these violations then we can hold them accountablerdquo

SGA adopts changes to ethics legislation
The sport of competitive fishing is one that starts at a young age for anglers who fish local tour-naments and gain sponsors by working their way up the ranks
Because of NCAA regulations about amateur status this makes it difficult for the sport to become NCAA sanctioned
But with the high cost of tour-nament fees boat equipment and travel expenses these sponsor-ships are essential for anglers to stay competitive and poten-tially turn professional Alabama for example has sponsors like
Duckett Rods Guy Harvey and Striking Lure
Some anglers fear that if it does become part of the NCAA it would hurt the sport because gaining sponsors and recognition are a key factor in starting from a young age Johnson agrees that some changes need to be made by both sides to ensure members can still have the ability to get expo-

The rivalry between The University of Alabama and Auburn University may add another component this spring in the form of a hovercraft race
Hisham Ali a UA senior and aerospace engineering major recently submitted a proposal to the College of Engineering to create an Alabama hover-craft team The proposal was approved shortly before fall break
Ali and three other aero-space engineering seniors are planning to build a fully func-tional hovercraft as part of their senior design project They hope to bring a hovercraft race to Tuscaloosa in coordination with Hoverclub of America
ldquoThe problem is these nation-al hover rallies are always in the summer and thatrsquos not good for an academic design schedulerdquo Ali said ldquoSo I proposed that we organize our own racerdquo
Hoverclub of America spon-sors hovercraft races across the country but it has never held one in Alabama Auburn created
a hovercraft team in 2003 and won second place overall at its first rally
Auburnrsquos team the Hovering Tigers hasnrsquot raced in a few years but they are constructing a craft to race later this year Ali contacted the team about hold-ing a race in Alabama
ldquoOur goal is to have this race by the end of Marchrdquo Ali said
The races are generally held during the course of a weekend in a public park along a river or lake The course must cover both land and water In addition to the race these hover rallies often include a barbecue camping and technical seminars about building hovercrafts
Kent Gano racing director of Hoverclub of America recently visited Ali in Tuscaloosa after he was contacted about spon-soring a race While no specific location has been set they are considering locations such as Lake Lurleen in Tuscaloosa
Lake Martin near Montgomery and Chewacla State Park in Auburn
Gano said the race could be the starting point of an entire collegiate division of hovercraft racing
ldquoThis is the beginning of a possible region sports eventrdquo Gano said ldquoThis could hopefully turn into a nice little college-
type competition every yearrdquo
The first step for Ali and his team however is actually build-ing the craft The College of Engineering has given the team space in the aero-space structures
lab in Hardaway Hall to house and construct their vehicle The team will compete in the Formula S class which allows just a single engine and single fan
Hovercrafts are typically piloted by a single driver and can reach speeds of 60 mph on a land and water track Some crafts are built from a structured
set of plans while others contain original design and ingenuity
The project is split into four areas of design controls propul-sion structures and aerodynam-ics Each of the four seniors are in charge of one area They also have a team of underclassmen working with them so that the hovercraft team can continue even after they graduate
Ali hopes to have the plan-ning phase done by November and the construction done by February so the driver can get comfortable with the craft before a March race
ldquoItrsquos basically a frictionless vehiclerdquo Ali said ldquoso you can go pretty fastrdquo
While teams from across the country would be invited to compete at a hovercraft race in Alabama the Alabama-Auburn angle would certainly produce interest for locals
ldquoThat would be cool because it would be something thatrsquos not brute sportsrdquo Thomas Zeiler an associate professor of aero-space engineering and advisor for the senior design project said ldquoThatrsquos a lot more technical than footballrdquo

Sitting through lectures all day and spending endless nights studying can make a real job seem distant for most college students However sev-eral University of Alabama stu-dents had the chance this past weekend to get a taste of what life outside of the classroom will be like
Five UA students trav-eled to Dauphin Island Oct
12-14 to work alongside Food Network star Martie Duncan in a culinary event Duncan was a recent finalist on Food Networkrsquos ldquoFood Network Starrdquo
The team of UA students helped Duncan plan set-up and execute the 2012 Seafood Science amp Celebrity event
Diana DeFatta a senior majoring in restaurant and hospitality management was chosen to attend this event in order to give her experience in
her field of studyldquoI was able to have my first
real world experience and hands-on experiencerdquo DeFatta said ldquowhich is something I could not get in the classroom settingrdquo
DeFatta was able to utilize her major concentration of meetings and event planning as she helped set up and work the event
ldquoI learned that there is a lot of work that goes into mak-ing an eventrdquo DeFatta said
ldquoThere is a lot of physical work lots of heavy lifting and lots of detailsrdquo
The involvement of Alabama students was coordinated by the new UA chapter of Meetings Professionals International MPI is designed to help stu-dents gain industry experience and connect them to industry professionals before they enter the workforce Alyssa Tilkin co-founder of UA MPI was the student leader of the event this past weekend
ldquoThis was an incredible expe-rience for all of our membersrdquo Tilkin said ldquoOne chef told me he thought we were event staff He was surprised to find out we were students from The University of Alabamardquo
Alexa Verroi a senior major-ing in advertising recently got involved with UA MPI She worked as a culinary assistant for the weekend something she had never done before
ldquoIrsquove had never done events beforerdquo Verroi said ldquoSo I was
able to experience the real life complete chaos that is event planningrdquo
In addition to all the hard work that went into this week-end Verroi said it was a plus torub elbows with a few celebri-ties as well The students not only met Martie Duncan but also former UA football playerBob Baumhower and former American Idol winner and Alabama native Taylor Hicks the featured performer at the event

If any of you watched ESPN Filmrsquos ldquoBrokerdquo you know that over half of all professional football players go bankrupt three years after retiring from the NFL And keep in mind most of these retire-ments occur while these players are still in their twenties
Again if you watched this documenta-ry you probably immediately wondered how many of these football players were former Alabama students I wondered this as well but in the end the names do not matter What matters is that The University of Alabama takes a stand to help its current and prospective students ndash athlete or not ndash avoid financial ruin in the near future
No one wants to have insurmountable debt when they leave college but thatrsquos the fate many are faced with because of the necessity for student loans Still there is no reason to make the situation worse by adding more debt after you have graduated Living within your means or better yet living under your means is the best remedy to cure chronic debt
But unless you are encouraged and taught how to do this you will more than likely get into financial trouble So here are some suggestions that may help
First The University of Alabama should require that every student take some form of basic accounting or money management courses while enrolled
I know some people scoff at the word ldquorequirerdquo but letrsquos not act like this is calculus that you will never use again in your life ndash everyone needs and will use financial literacy skills
Furthermore this kind of course requirement should be implemented at the high school level as well If good hab-its are taught early they are more likely to be absorbed for the long haul
Second since the Crimson Tide will inevitably produce numerous NFL draft picks every single year all current foot-ball players need to learn how to keep from losing millions of dollars overnight No administrator or professor should be proud to say they were the reason a former player blew all of his millions on happy hour at Applebeersquos
Lastly these actions need to be imple-mented quickly Every second that is wasted giving lip service another UA graduate gets a mortgage they canrsquot afford a car they canrsquot pay for and so on and so forth Letrsquos stop the apathy right now
For the record Irsquom all for Auburn alum-ni going completely and totally bankrupt ndash especially if his or her name begins with Cam and ends in Newton

Over the past two weeks this newspa-per has reported extensively on the atmo-sphere of our Universityrsquos greek system ndash the largest in the nation ndash uncovering and exposing troubling aspects of such an integral element of our student life
With a simple email to University and state administrators detailing discon-tentment among some potential new greek organization members our cam-pus is suddenly awash in conversation about the Universityrsquos most taboo topic ndash greek pledgeship But this time it doesnrsquot look like itrsquos going away any time soon
Itrsquos easy for us to initially be skeptical of whistleblowers They are by defini-tion alleging serious wrongdoing within established hierarchies and their claims make us face uncomfortable realities But we should never mistake their hon-esty and commitment to the moral good with cowardice for not following the crowd
Although it is very likely that these anonymous students may never publicly come forward they should take comfort in representing and speaking for the thousands of students who feel silenced on a daily basis by corrupt systems of power that are allowed to perpetuate on our campus
As a columnist I am given the oppor-tunity to write about any topic I wish in this space every Wednesday However I have no control over any content ndash other than my own ndash that is published in these pages allowing me to both participate in and comment on the paper from a quasi-external point of view
I must say Irsquom extremely proud of this newspaperrsquos coverage of these develop-ments in the greek system In every area of its coverage the reporters and edi-tors have been tough direct and deter-mined to get to the bottom of the story Mondayrsquos and Tuesdayrsquos editorial board op-eds were spot on giving light to tough issues and raising pertinent questions about the real nature of our campus and student body
With the lengthy allegations of hazing detailed in Tuesdayrsquos paper the burden is now placed on the administration to end the detrimental traditions that our greek system has held on to for far too long The thoroughly corroborated details of the hazing incidents by the students should be enough of a spark for administrators to begin the process of change
In many ways the administration should want this type of attention to be
devoted to outdated aspects of greek life With four of the six students sent to DCH for alcohol poisoning this semester belonging to greek organizations this is no longer an issue of simply looking the other way for the eight weeks of fraterni-ty pledgeship This is no longer an issue that major donors can essentially hold over the Universityrsquos head This is about the safety and welfare of our youngest students upholding the promise we made to make them better and focusing on the legacy ndash the example ndash that we leave behind
But in the midst of all the attention being placed on the anonymous stu-dents we should be focusing on holding accountable the students who were elect-ed to lead our greek system Neither the Interfraternity Council nor Panhellenic Association has commented on the haz-ing allegations They have offered no plans to prevent the same type of alleged hazing from occurring on campus tonight They know better than anyone that these incidents happen often yet they do nothing to correct the problem
These same leaders seem to always be the first to tell us about a new concert they are sponsoring or philanthropy we can give money to but when we need real leadership and bold guidance to move our University forward they are nowhere to be found Where are these leaders Why do they remain silent
No greek student could have been shocked by yesterdayrsquos headline We know what happens and how it happens The true question is how much longer we will continue to hang on by a thread and when our community as a whole will come to the realization that the status quo just isnrsquot working
In many ways and for many reasons ndash not particularly positive ndash we have accepted our culture despite its many flaws Wersquove grown complacent lethar-gic and unmotivated Perhaps this spark is just what we needed

With issue raised fraternity leaders must address hazing
By Henry DownesStaff Columnist
The Collar family of Wetumpka Ala is mourning the loss of their son Gil this week after the freshman was gunned down by a campus police officer at the University of South Alabama on Oct 6
There is an ongoing investigation examining the decision by Trevis Austin the campus police officer involved to use lethal force in the situation We should be careful in these early stages to remember that criminal suspects are innocent until proven guilty in this coun-try Since all the facts have not yet been released it is only fair to wait for the due process of the law to bring charges and a conviction ndash if necessary ndash before we condemn
Still thanks to a video of the incident released to the media last week there is a fair amount of information we are able to know about the shooting
We know that Collar was tripping on LSD at the time As a result he clearly was in an altered state of mind as he approached the police station that eve-ning he was naked and began pounding on the window of the station The fact that Collar wasnrsquot clothed seems impor-tant in evaluating Austinrsquos decision to use lethal force here Even though Collar could not have possibly been armed Austin still approached Collar with his gun drawn
We know that Collar was 18 years old
and only 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds Austin by comparison is 27 trained to use ldquoempty-handed submission techniquesrdquo (ie physical force) and stands over 6 feet tall LSD or not there are some ques-tions as to why Austin chose to use any weapon at all ndash lethal or non-lethal ndash in this situation
We know that Austin shot Collar only once to the chest Not the hand arm shoulder foot or leg ndash but the chest where the heart and lungs are located He shot to kill and it proved to be a fatal wound
Finally we know that by and large the national news media doesnrsquot really care about this Most air-time and print devoted to the incident has come from local stations and newspapers in Mobile Montgomery or Birmingham
This is clearly a massive departure from the national media firestorm precipitated by the shooting of teen Trayvon Martin by security guard George Zimmerman last February
In that case the media was appall-ingly quick to condemn Zimmerman which was confusing since the facts were even more obscure than the Collar shooting And although no video exists for that incident convincing evidence shows that Martin however harrassed by Zimmerman was the physical antag-onist
In the Martin case which is still in the midst of court proceedings everyone from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
to President Obama was quick to enter the fray seizing a delicate and tragic situation in order to score political points They painted Martinrsquos shooting as a racial event a hate crime despite a complete lack of evidence for any racially biased motive The outpouring of support for the Martin family paled in comparison to the racist vitriol spewed at Zimmerman the New Black Panthers offered a $10000 reward for the ldquocap-turerdquo of Zimmerman
Factually the two cases are compa-rable ndash in either case a low-level law enforcement officer used lethal force to diffuse an ambiguous (at best) situation So why was the public outcry so very different
I would hate to think the media uproar was so extreme because Martin was black Why should skin color influence our level of interest in the shooting of a teen Why is society so quick to point the finger and play the ldquorace cardrdquo
Both Martin and Collar were by all accounts good and happy kids Their lives met a tragic end because of the questionable actions taken by armed men with authority indoctrinated in the police gun culture Yes Martin was black and Collar was white but they were both victims of regrettable violence and died unnecessary deaths Those are the only facts that matter to me

I study on Sunday afternoons So the other day as I stared dully at my dimly lit computer screen struggling to remem-ber what was so important about the Rule of Thirds in photojournalism I was looking for any excuse to take a break from reading and rereading my carefully taken notes
My first distraction came from the lyr-ics to the background music I had stream-ing from my extensive iTunes library
ldquoDonrsquot get stuck in the meantime Therersquos no such thing as the meantimerdquo
After hearing this bit of wisdom from the Louisiana-based indie rock band Givers I could only think of it as a chal-lenge ndash a challenge not only to me but to everyone
American culture dictates that we all constantly look to the future for progress and new opportunity We reject history and run from our past in the hopes of embracing our own uniquely crafted highly idealistic future ndash an image shrouded in romanticism As citizens of a relatively young nation Americans con-stantly have their eyes fixed somewhere in the distant future just beyond the hori-zon of today This is where the idea of the
ldquomeantimerdquo comes inOften we are so concerned with what
is to come that we forget about the pres-ent We have effectively all become stuck in the ldquomeantimerdquo ndash the awkward limbo between what is past and what is to come Itrsquos that uncomfortable window of time when yoursquove arrived at a party just a little too early and yoursquore stuck waiting for more people to show up for someone to cut through the blaring silence for things to finally begin And this is pre-cisely how we live our lives ndash eternally perched on the edge of our seats waiting for it to start
From the time we first learn to speak we are prompted with the question of what we want to be when we grow up eliciting adorably innocent answers such as rock star president and superhero And by the age of 10 we are all filling out worksheets asking us questions about where we see ourselves in 5 10 and 20 years
When you think about it this seems like some pretty heavy stuff for young children to be worrying about
These two examples provide an unex-pectedly poignant insight into the foun-dation of American society that has got us all looking ahead
But in the quintessentially American
fashion of paradox we are also constant-ly being bombarded with catchy phrases and clicheacutes that remind us to live for the now ldquoCarpe diemrdquo the highly overused phrase championed in the cult-classic ldquoDead Poets Society rdquo may have evolved into ldquoYOLOrdquo but these are all just differ-ent names for the same thing
Itrsquos as if we are being stretched in two ways by two equal opposing forc-es While one side reminds us that we must prepare for our future and think about the potential consequences of our actions the other counters telling us our time is limited ndash when we stop thinking and start doing we truly experience life
Ultimately like many things in life the only way to approach the central para-dox of how to live is to obtain a healthy balance Human nature calls for us to seek improvement so while wersquore grasp-ing for the wondrously illusive green light symbolizing the eternal American Dream mentioned in Fitzgeraldrsquos ldquoThe Great Gatsbyrdquo we should also take care to make sure that we are not unknowingly getting ourselves stuck in the meantime

Student organizations will have direct access to the Student Government Association through a new program offering monthly meetings between orga-nization representatives and SGA members
The SGA Delegates Program organized under the Office of Engagement offers student organizations the opportunity to assign two members the role of delegates Delegates will meet monthly with SGA officials to communicate about organization plans for the current and upcoming semesters
During these meetings delegates will have the opportunity to seek help from the SGA regarding financial support and con-nections to other organiza-tions on campus
Morgan Mullen presi-dent of Resonance Show Choir said she thinks the Delegates Program will benefit organizations that are not typically centered on campus
ldquoI know our group can sometimes feel disconnected from the central flow of the Universityrdquo she said ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel more connected on campus We would benefit greatly from more people knowing about our existencerdquo
Planned to launch later this year the Delegates Program began as an
additional outlet for stu-dents to share their ideas with and effectively seek out support from the SGA Matt Calderone SGA presi-dent and Chase Burnham SGA director of engagement were integral in creating the program
ldquoDeveloping a program where students could more effectively have their voices heard in the political process on campus was a major plat-form of Mattrsquos campaignrdquo he said ldquoUpon my appoint-ment as SGA director of engagement our office took that idea and did everything in our power to develop a program that gives every student organization on campus a seat at the table With UA Delegates wersquore hoping to bring together the diverse range of stu-dents on this campus in order to have a more posi-tive impact on the campus as a wholerdquo
All organizations are eligible to appoint a junior andor senior del-egate for regular meetings with the SGA The junior delegate can be any new member within the organi-zation and the senior del-egate can be any returning
member No class restric-tions apply in order to par-ticipate as either level dele-gate meaning any organiza-tion member from freshman through senior standing could hold either or both positions for any given orga-nization
Meagan Bryant SGA exec-utive press secretary said the SGA hopes organiza-tions will use the Delegates Program to become educat-ed on available resources
ldquoOf the funds allocated in last yearrsquos budget for the same purpose $45000 went unclaimed by student orga-nizations for reimburse-ment or financial supportrdquo she said ldquoUA Delegates will help to prevent this from happening again by ensuring sufficient communication is occurring between SGA offi-cials and on-campus organi-zationsrdquo
Interested delegates can apply by filling out a form via a brochure dis-tributed to each organiza-tion Applicants can pick up forms from the SGA office download the brochure from the SGA website or send an email to the SGA Engagement account at uadelegatesgmailcom

SGA creates program for student group delegates
By Angie BarteltContributing Writer
Although The University of Alabama offers several pub-lishing outlets to students the Dewpoint Literary Journal specializes in poetry prose and critical writing for which they have received national recogni-tion
Dewpoint is run by the Phi Xi chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society Phi Xi works with the English and creative writing depart-ments with a goal of publishing the creative works on campus and is open to all undergradu-ate students This year marks Dewpointrsquos third year to pub-lish at the University
The student journal was awarded the second-place national prize for Most Outstanding Literary Journal for 2011-2012 from Sigma Tau Delta The publication was not eligible for an award last spring semester however because of their award the previous fall This semesterrsquos publication will be their first chance at a second national award
Dewpoint publications are
divided into three main sec-tions poetry prose and critical writing Some of the previous Dewpoint issues also included space for submitted art ndash a fac-tor that may be left out of the newest publication A graphic novel may also be included instead of or possibly in addi-tion to art
Last yearrsquos journal was published through Borgo Publishing a company current Dewpoint staff hope to contin-ue working with
Besides aesthetic changes to the physical journal Dewpoint hopes to expand to universi-ties across the state and the Southeast
ldquoIt is a new big idea to take this project and make it more than UA this yearrdquo Joey Gamble poetry editor of Dewpoint said ldquoThat way we would have a larger submis-sion pool for undergraduates this year We could possibly include either universities in the Southeast or just in Alabama The original founda-tion for Dewpoint was an out-let for publication here at UA so if we move away from our original position it will be a lot
more work but it could expand our legitimacy and help our longevity in our projectsrdquo
The extension of Dewpoint would bring more opportuni-ties for aspiring writers and poets to get published and cre-ate an avenue for other schools that do not have the same publi-cation opportunities as a major university to have a chance at national recognition
ldquoWe won this award at con-vention which adds something special to being a part of itrdquo Nadia Barksdale the journalrsquos design editor said ldquoExpanding could bring our work to a higher levelrdquo
Dewpoint staff members agree that incorporating opin-ions that differ throughout the region into the publication could improve the status of the journal
ldquoOur main purpose to state to our readers is that this is Alabama and we hope to rede-fine what it means to be an Alabama writer todayrdquo Shea Stripling the journalrsquos editor-in-chief said
Dewpoint accepts staff mem-bers and submissions from the entire UA student body
ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel
more connected on campus

Gonzales discuss Siegelman Alabama immigration law
Gonzales pointed to the many issues that he faced as attorney general as a reason for not having more to contribute about Siegelmanrsquos case
ldquoAs attorney general yoursquore not going to weigh in on everything Sometimes you have to give it to the deputy attorney generalrdquo he said ldquoYoursquore involved in so many situations and deci-sions that sometimes you have to delegate Personally though itrsquos troublingrdquo
Gonzales also addressed Alabamarsquos anti-immigration law commonly known as HB 56 and the recent Supreme Court decision invalidating many parts of a similar law
ldquoI donrsquot know a lot about Alabamarsquos immigration laws but I do think that our states are trying to appease their constituentsrdquo he said ldquoWhen you claim authority as the US Supreme Court has done in this case you also have responsibility to address the problems in another wayrdquo
Jonathan Thompson a masterrsquos student in educa-tion and history said he was impressed by Gonzalesrsquo demeanor in addressing the heated questions from
the audienceldquoI was slightly off
guard by the Siegelman questions but Irsquom glad they were askedrdquo Thompson said ldquoIt is just a dicey situ-ation still especially in the state of Alabama Gonzales did a great job at addressing themrdquo
Joseph Siegelman said although he was nervous he was glad to have an oppor-tunity to address some of the issues surrounding his fatherrsquos trial and conviction
ldquoI was certainly intimidat-ed mdash hersquos the former attor-ney general of the United Statesrdquo he said ldquoWe see a glimmer of hope wersquore just working to make that a little biggerrdquo

The music world has been far too prolific over the past week or so to devote an entire 600 words to one artist or recording so herersquos some of the hippest stuff Irsquove been hearing
Grace PotterI want to be Grace Potter when
I grow up Or at the very least marry her That seems to be the consensus of 9723 percent of the folks Irsquove talked to about the Nocturnalsrsquo opening set for the Avett Brothers at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater last Thursday night
Grace and company drove through their allotted hour with reckless joyful abandon which is very much the par for their course These guys always seem so happy on stage Grace dances around in tune-induced scantily-clothed bliss while drummer Matt Burr beats the tubs without withholding a single tooth from view (The latter may follow from
its prime vantage point on the for-mer)
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals released a new album ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo in June 2012 but the performance was a solid mix as the old bookended the new
They kicked off the set with ldquoNothing But the Water (II)rdquo from the 2005 album of the same name a fun jam with several individual member-featuring solos that lent themselves perfectly to the intros Grace rolled out in concurrence with the song
Country-tinged ballads ldquoParachute Heartrdquo and ldquoStarsrdquo from the new record gave Grace the opportunity to show off her beautiful powerful vocal prowess ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo the albumrsquos title track sounded even more heavy and driving live But it was disappointing to hear the bandrsquos live use of digital sustain on Gracersquos voice at select points in the song ndash an effect a voice like hers just doesnrsquot require
All was forgiven when the band closed the set with ldquoParis (Ooh La
La)rdquo and ldquoMedicinerdquo two favor-ites from their eponymous 2010 album As has become the bandrsquos custom the end of ldquoMedicinerdquo turned into a group-wide drum-clobbering section a tremendous-ly pleasing gimmick the band will grow tired of long before the fans will
The Rolling StonesThe Rolling Stonesrsquo new single
is good Thatrsquos what I thought after I gave ldquoDoom and Gloomrdquo a listen Thursday morning when the band released the track as the first single from upcoming com-pilation album ldquoGRRRrdquo sched-uled for release on Nov 12 Then I listened to it again And another time after that The clicheacute stops there because I had somewhere to be but you better believe the tune was stuck in my head the rest of the day
Now that Irsquom approximately 86 listens in allow me to mod-ify my original evaluation the Rolling Stonesrsquo new single is deceivingly good

Creative Campus is in the development stages of a do-it-yourself series that will allow student art making and hands on projects through interactive events
ldquoPart of Creative Campusrsquos objective is to spread artistic diversity throughout the UA campusrdquo Shiori Ito Creative Campus intern and leader of DIY UA said
Each week will have a differ-ent DIY focus and the events will be held bi-weekly through-out the school year Although the project is not fully off the ground yet the first session will begin Nov 13 from 6 to 7 pm
ldquoCreative Campus is designed
to connect people while turning innovative ideas into actionrdquo Katherine Howard one of the students working on the proj-ect said ldquoIn many ways this is DIY UArsquos goalrdquo
The first session will be a tutorial teaching students basic knitting skills and the second will be an overview of candle making Both sessions will be held in Maxwell Hall the Creative Campus building
ldquoWe also want to start a Cooking in the Dorms video series where students teach students how to cook simple and chap dishes that donrsquot require many supplies or much equipmentrdquo Howard said
The club requires no monthly or annual dues Students may be required to bring some of
their own materials but other materials will be provided by DIY UA
Information about the proj-ects and materials will be pro-vided in a monthly newslet-ter and the same information will be posted on the Creative Campus website Details of what to bring what will be pro-vided and where students wish-ing to participate can purchase materials for the lowest cost will be provided in the newslet-ter

For student parents the issue of finding an affordable and available babysitter can be a daunting task
Between juggling school and raising a child many student par-ents simply do not have the time or resources to find a babysitter who meets their needs In response to this The University of Alabama created Sitters for Service an ini-tiative developed to provide parents with free babysitting services from student volunteer babysitters
Sitters for Service was devel-oped three and a half years ago to serve the 2000+ student parents on
campus Currently it serves 38 stu-dent families and provides them with access to 38 different sitters the highest quantity in the pro-gramrsquos history
ldquoThe program is the first of
its kind in the countryrdquo Cori Perdue work life manager for the University and program coordina-tor said ldquoWe now have two other universities that have contacted us about setting up similar programs on their campusesrdquo
The program is volunteer-based and student sitters can earn com-munity service hours by choosing the number of hours they would like to dedicate per semester Sitters can choose to serve 20 30 or 40 hours each semester For stu-dents like Alex Constantine the program has been an excellent way to get involved and give back to the community
ldquoI like that itrsquos a volunteer
program thatrsquos helping other UA students that maybe donrsquot have the time or money to get other babysit-ters It makes me feel good to help other students out because I know how hard the workload is and being a parent is a whole other responsi-bility on top of thatrdquo Constantine a junior majoring in elementary edu-cation said
Although the program is com-prised of sitters with a variety of majors many of the students par-ticipate in the program as a way to gain valuable experience in their fields of study and to apply their knowledge to real life situations
ldquoA lot of times the students are nursing majors or education majors
that are trying to get related experi-ence in their fieldsrdquo Perdue said
The program has been largely successful over the past few years in aiding student parents in their search for an appropriate babysit-ter Following the application and interview process all students must become CPR certified and then par-ticipate in a meet-and-greet session where all parents meet with each of the sitters to find which sitters best meet their needs This provides the parents with peace of mind in knowing that their babysitter is well qualified and a good match
Rachel Delevett a senior major-ing in human development and family studies is in her fourth
semester with the programldquoI think itrsquos a great way to give
back to the University as a wholerdquo Delevett said ldquoI like working with the parents because they are respectful of your time and under-stand that yoursquore a student and they are really grateful for the pro-gramrdquo
Students interested in volun-teering for the Sitters for Service program can find more infor-mation on the Graduate Parent Support website at wwwgpsuaedu Applications for the Spring 2013 semester are currently avail-able Students may also contact Cori Perdue work life manager at cperduefauaedu

is no time at all compared to the several decades this dude has spent off the map Rodriguez the subject of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival opening documentary ldquoSearching for Sugar Manrdquo grew up in Detroit and cut two records in 1970 and 1971 before being com-pletely forgotten
Except in South Africa where he became a Bob Dylan-caliber poet-laureate for the downtrod-den and working class Nobody thought to tell Rodriguez about his hero status however so he worked as a day laborer in Detroit until his daughter discovered
his fame in the late 1990s and he performed a string of concerts in the country
His scratchy voice and poignant lyrics make the Dylan compari-son an easy one but Rodriguez is more than a novelty copycat act His sound is pleasing a synthesis of the disquiet you see in Dylan the yearning you hear in Van Morrison and that weird beauti-ful suggestion of physical space you feel in the Moody Blues The phrasing and edge of Rodriguezrsquos words in ldquoHate Street Dialoguerdquo from 1970rsquos ldquoCold Factrdquo always reminds me of Deep Purplersquos Ian Anderson

Bama looks ahead to UF UGAVOLLEYBALL MENrsquoS GOLF
By Mary Grace ShowfetyStaff Reporter
Alabama volleyball will return to Foster Auditorium on Friday Oct 19 at 7 pm with a winning attitude
After what senior Kayla Fitterer called a solid week-end of play the Crimson Tide is ready to defend their home court by any means necessary
The Tide traveled to South Carolina on Friday where they were able to take the Gamecocks in four sets The final stop over the weekend was to Baton Rouge La where LSU battled
through four sets to victory over the Tide
Fitterer said both outcomes were a product of the way the Tide played
ldquoSouth Carolina was a really good win for usrdquo Fitterer said ldquoWe played really well and it showed With LSU we played well but we could have played better and had that urgency to finish We shouldrsquove won that fourth game ndash we were up and in the end we just let them sneak some points to winrdquo
Though the Tide is no stranger to tough competition the LSU match was especially
challengingJunior Andrea McQuaid
said the team expected a win because the last time the Tigers came to Tuscaloosa the Tide swept them
ldquoThey were firing on all cyl-inders because of how bad we beat them hererdquo McQuaid said ldquoThey were just out for revenge It was a catfight in warm-upsrdquo
Looking ahead to what should be a competition-filled weekend of play the Tide is confident in their abilities even with teams like Florida and Georgia on the ticket
Friday night the Tide will take on No 9 Florida who remains unbeaten in SEC play This will be the first meeting of the sea-son with the Gators
ldquoFlorida is a great teamrdquo McQuaid said ldquoOne thing that Irsquove learned in college sports is that no one is unbeatable At any given time an underdog can beat somebody Wersquore not expecting to lose any games this weekend as with any match We expect to win and wersquore going to give our best effortsrdquo
Head coach Ed Allen said Florida will be the Tidersquos tough-
est competition to dateldquoAlthough we felt like
Tennessee and Texas AampM were extremely competitive teams we think Florida is clearly the favorite to win the league at this pointrdquo Allen said
Sunday however will be a rematch between Alabama and Georgia The Tide traveled to Athens Ga in September for what turned out to be a heart-breaking loss in five sets
ldquoThe Georgia team we com-peted really hard against and we shouldrsquove pulled that out for a win but it will be a good gamerdquo Fitterer said ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here ready to win and we are toordquo
The Florida match comes at a special time in womenrsquos ath-letics at the Capstone Keeping with the tradition started by gymnastics head coach Sarah Patterson in 2004 Crimson Tide volleyball celebrates the Power of Pink Initiative
Power of Pink began as a gym-nastics team tradition in 2009 it spread to the entire womenrsquos athletic department as a way to spread breast cancer awareness in West Alabama
ldquoWersquore thrilled to be able to contribute a match this month for a cause that is significant-ly important and [that] has touched many of us already or will touch others in the coming yearsrdquo Allen said ldquoWersquore happy to help raise awareness raise funds and support a cause that is clearly worth supportingrdquo

In come-from-behind fashion the Alabama menrsquos golf team swept the medal-ist honors at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate played at the par-70 7204 yard Old Overton Golf Club
ldquoWe needed this winrdquo head coach Jay Seawell said following the round ldquoWe have been stumbling so Irsquom really proud It doesnrsquot matter how you do it I donrsquot think it was pret-ty Winning is always win-ning so that brings a lot of confidence and that is the part Irsquom proud of The guys have worked hard and hung in there Irsquom really proud of how they hung in all day longrdquo
Alabama found them-selves on the top of the team leaderboard at the end of the day on Tuesday after trailing for the previ-ous two rounds Shooting a team total of 2-over 282 Alabama defeated runner-up Florida by four strokes Auburn finished third with a 27-over 867 while UNLV took home fourth place

Crimson Tide readies for trip to Neyland Stadium on SaturdayBy Alexis PaineStaff Reporter
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team will see famil-iar faces on the Tennessee Volunteer sideline as they take the field at Neyland Stadium this Saturday The Tide offense will go head-to-head with a defense coached by former Tide defen-sive coordinator Sal Sunseri who joined the Volunteer coaching staff before this sea-son Tide players will also com-pete against former teammate Darrington Sentimore who left the Tide in 2010 Linebacker CJ Mosley said it will be fun to see what his former teammate does on the opposite side of the field The junior also said it will not be weird to see Sunseri on the opposing teamrsquos sideline
ldquoIrsquom going to be too busy try-ing to stop the offenserdquo Mosley said ldquoHe was a great coach when he was here Irsquom pretty sure hersquos doing a great job there but my job is to focus on the offense and what theyrsquore going to dordquo
Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said he is not con-cerned about playing former members of the Tide and does not believe it will affect the team
ldquoYou gotta worry about you how you prepare for the game what you need to do to win the gamerdquo McCarron said

Bama needs to play at full potential to beat UTBy Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Another week has come and gone and with it another victory for the Crimson Tide Although a few injuries and a little damp weather stalled what was otherwise a well-oiled machine in Alabama the Tide still proved to show its superior talent with a 42-10 win over the Missouri Tigers
Again Alabama didnrsquot play to its full potential the entire game Still it was fairly obvi-ous it didnrsquot need to As a matter of fact in none of the games thus far this season has Alabama had to play up to its full potential to pull out a vic-tory
And while thatrsquos all fine and good it does present a particular problem that may meet the Tide down the road In fact itrsquoll meet the Crimson Tide at home in Bryant-Denny Stadium in about two weeks time ndash because that is when the now-undefeated Mississippi State Bulldogs come to town
Alabama will for the first time this season play a team that has not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them this year (If you donrsquot believe me look at teams like Michigan and Arkansas)
Thatrsquos not the end of it either The following week the Tide travels to Baton Rouge La to play not only one of the most talented teams in the nation but in one of the most ominous stadiums in the coun-try Thatrsquos a tall order by any-onersquos standards
Now Irsquom not saying Alabama
doesnrsquot have what it takes to go through that two-week stretch unscathed Itrsquos still my opinion that Alabama has the most talented well-coached team in the nation And when they play to their full potential they are nearly unstoppable
But herersquos the problem for the Tide to be unstoppable it has tohellip drum roll pleasehellip play up to its full potential Not for a portion of the game No it has to play lights out the entire game or at least the majority of it which is something the Tide has struggled with thus far this season
This is a team that hasnrsquot faced any real adversity so far ndash not really Thatrsquos great because it shows an accurate picture of how talented this team is it doesnrsquot have to play to its full potential to soundly beat someone (herersquos looking at you Mizzou)
But if Alabama doesnrsquot play up to its standards against a team like LSU or Mississippi State or (quite possibly) teams like Florida South Carolina or Georgia it may very well be put in a strenuous situation And thatrsquos where this season could be won or lost
If the Tide can play up to its full potential handling any and all adversity that comes its way Alabama may well be on its way to another incred-ible season But Alabama still has to prove it can overcome adversity and play to its stan-dards of play on both sides of the ball before fans can really start looking for No 15
Therersquos still a long way to go before all is said and done

the practice regimen that has allowed them success so far this year but has faced a more up-tempo pace Mosley said
ldquoAs a player yoursquove gotta be ready for a physical and tough practice because with Tennessee itrsquos a rivalryrdquo Mosley said ldquoThings will start boiling up and you have to be ready for those types of gamesrdquo
The Tide is prepared for the intensity of the fan base and the atmosphere they will enter when they take the field this weekend The players find the atmosphere of the rivalry fun and exciting
ldquoI like the intensityrdquo said right tackle DJ Fluker ldquoThat feeds me a little bit Coach Stoutland always says think of it as being a rock star out there and the crowd going crazy So it makes it fun for merdquo
McCarron ready to play despite injury rumors
Despite rumors that McCarron was suffering from a torn meniscus he has been present at practice this week Fluker said the quarterback has been taking practice one day at a time after sustaining a blow during last Saturdayrsquos game against Missouri The lineman said McCarron has been moving around well and the quarterbackrsquos hard work will allow him to bounce back quickly
McCarron said he was not worried about the severity of his injury during the game He listened to the trainers and was ready to get back on the field
ldquoI donrsquot like sitting outrdquo McCarron said ldquoI had to sit out when I was four from that wave runner wreck Thatrsquos the only year Irsquove ever missed I just donrsquot like missing playsrdquo
McCarron said the rumors surrounding his injury start-ed by a caller on the Paul Finebaum radio show are false

When SGA membersrsquo violations are brought to light they will under-go a hearing procedure that is also outlined in the new bill Vickers said she worked with the UA Legal Office and the Office of Judicial Affairs to outline the hearing process
Seven justices from the Judicial Board are selected at random to

The sport of competitive fishing is one that starts at a young age for anglers who fish local tour-naments and gain sponsors by working their way up the ranks
Because of NCAA regulations about amateur status this makes it difficult for the sport to become NCAA sanctioned
But with the high cost of tour-nament fees boat equipment and travel expenses these sponsor-ships are essential for anglers to stay competitive and poten-tially turn professional Alabama for example has sponsors like
Duckett Rods Guy Harvey and Striking Lure

The rivalry between The University of Alabama and Auburn University may add another component this spring in the form of a hovercraft race
Hisham Ali a UA senior and aerospace engineering major recently submitted a proposal to the College of Engineering to create an Alabama hover-craft team The proposal was approved shortly before fall break
Ali and three other aero-space engineering seniors are planning to build a fully func-tional hovercraft as part of their senior design project They hope to bring a hovercraft race to Tuscaloosa in coordination with Hoverclub of America
ldquoThe problem is these nation-al hover rallies are always in the summer and thatrsquos not good for an academic design schedulerdquo Ali said ldquoSo I proposed that we organize our own racerdquo
Hoverclub of America spon-sors hovercraft races across the country but it has never held one in Alabama Auburn created
a hovercraft team in 2003 and won second place overall at its first rally
Auburnrsquos team the Hovering Tigers hasnrsquot raced in a few years but they are constructing a craft to race later this year Ali contacted the team about hold-ing a race in Alabama
ldquoOur goal is to have this race by the end of Marchrdquo Ali said
The races are generally held during the course of a weekend in a public park along a river or lake The course must cover both land and water In addition to the race these hover rallies often include a barbecue camping and technical seminars about building hovercrafts
Kent Gano racing director of Hoverclub of America recently visited Ali in Tuscaloosa after he was contacted about spon-soring a race While no specific location has been set they are considering locations such as Lake Lurleen in Tuscaloosa
Lake Martin near Montgomery and Chewacla State Park in Auburn
Gano said the race could be the starting point of an entire collegiate division of hovercraft racing
ldquoThis is the beginning of a possible region sports eventrdquo Gano said ldquoThis could hopefully turn into a nice little college-
type competition every yearrdquo
The first step for Ali and his team however is actually build-ing the craft The College of Engineering has given the team space in the aero-space structures
lab in Hardaway Hall to house and construct their vehicle The team will compete in the Formula S class which allows just a single engine and single fan
Hovercrafts are typically piloted by a single driver and can reach speeds of 60 mph on a land and water track Some crafts are built from a structured
set of plans while others contain original design and ingenuity
The project is split into four areas of design controls propul-sion structures and aerodynam-ics Each of the four seniors are in charge of one area They also have a team of underclassmen working with them so that the hovercraft team can continue even after they graduate
Ali hopes to have the plan-ning phase done by November and the construction done by February so the driver can get comfortable with the craft before a March race
ldquoItrsquos basically a frictionless vehiclerdquo Ali said ldquoso you can go pretty fastrdquo
While teams from across the country would be invited to compete at a hovercraft race in Alabama the Alabama-Auburn angle would certainly produce interest for locals
ldquoThat would be cool because it would be something thatrsquos not brute sportsrdquo Thomas Zeiler an associate professor of aero-space engineering and advisor for the senior design project said ldquoThatrsquos a lot more technical than footballrdquo

Sitting through lectures all day and spending endless nights studying can make a real job seem distant for most college students However sev-eral University of Alabama stu-dents had the chance this past weekend to get a taste of what life outside of the classroom will be like
Five UA students trav-eled to Dauphin Island Oct
12-14 to work alongside Food Network star Martie Duncan in a culinary event Duncan was a recent finalist on Food Networkrsquos ldquoFood Network Starrdquo
The team of UA students helped Duncan plan set-up and execute the 2012 Seafood Science amp Celebrity event
Diana DeFatta a senior majoring in restaurant and hospitality management was chosen to attend this event in order to give her experience in
her field of studyldquoI was able to have my first
real world experience and hands-on experiencerdquo DeFatta said ldquowhich is something I could not get in the classroom settingrdquo
DeFatta was able to utilize her major concentration of meetings and event planning as she helped set up and work the event
ldquoI learned that there is a lot of work that goes into mak-ing an eventrdquo DeFatta said
ldquoThere is a lot of physical work lots of heavy lifting and lots of detailsrdquo
The involvement of Alabama students was coordinated by the new UA chapter of Meetings Professionals International MPI is designed to help stu-dents gain industry experience and connect them to industry professionals before they enter the workforce Alyssa Tilkin co-founder of UA MPI was the student leader of the event this past weekend
ldquoThis was an incredible expe-rience for all of our membersrdquo Tilkin said ldquoOne chef told me he thought we were event staff He was surprised to find out we were students from The University of Alabamardquo
Alexa Verroi a senior major-ing in advertising recently got involved with UA MPI She worked as a culinary assistant for the weekend something she had never done before
ldquoIrsquove had never done events beforerdquo Verroi said ldquoSo I was
able to experience the real life complete chaos that is event planningrdquo
In addition to all the hard work that went into this week-end Verroi said it was a plus torub elbows with a few celebri-ties as well The students not only met Martie Duncan but also former UA football playerBob Baumhower and former American Idol winner and Alabama native Taylor Hicks the featured performer at the event

If any of you watched ESPN Filmrsquos ldquoBrokerdquo you know that over half of all professional football players go bankrupt three years after retiring from the NFL And keep in mind most of these retire-ments occur while these players are still in their twenties
Again if you watched this documenta-ry you probably immediately wondered how many of these football players were former Alabama students I wondered this as well but in the end the names do not matter What matters is that The University of Alabama takes a stand to help its current and prospective students ndash athlete or not ndash avoid financial ruin in the near future
No one wants to have insurmountable debt when they leave college but thatrsquos the fate many are faced with because of the necessity for student loans Still there is no reason to make the situation worse by adding more debt after you have graduated Living within your means or better yet living under your means is the best remedy to cure chronic debt
But unless you are encouraged and taught how to do this you will more than likely get into financial trouble So here are some suggestions that may help
First The University of Alabama should require that every student take some form of basic accounting or money management courses while enrolled
I know some people scoff at the word ldquorequirerdquo but letrsquos not act like this is calculus that you will never use again in your life ndash everyone needs and will use financial literacy skills
Furthermore this kind of course requirement should be implemented at the high school level as well If good hab-its are taught early they are more likely to be absorbed for the long haul
Second since the Crimson Tide will inevitably produce numerous NFL draft picks every single year all current foot-ball players need to learn how to keep from losing millions of dollars overnight No administrator or professor should be proud to say they were the reason a former player blew all of his millions on happy hour at Applebeersquos
Lastly these actions need to be imple-mented quickly Every second that is wasted giving lip service another UA graduate gets a mortgage they canrsquot afford a car they canrsquot pay for and so on and so forth Letrsquos stop the apathy right now
For the record Irsquom all for Auburn alum-ni going completely and totally bankrupt ndash especially if his or her name begins with Cam and ends in Newton

Over the past two weeks this newspa-per has reported extensively on the atmo-sphere of our Universityrsquos greek system ndash the largest in the nation ndash uncovering and exposing troubling aspects of such an integral element of our student life
With a simple email to University and state administrators detailing discon-tentment among some potential new greek organization members our cam-pus is suddenly awash in conversation about the Universityrsquos most taboo topic ndash greek pledgeship But this time it doesnrsquot look like itrsquos going away any time soon
Itrsquos easy for us to initially be skeptical of whistleblowers They are by defini-tion alleging serious wrongdoing within established hierarchies and their claims make us face uncomfortable realities But we should never mistake their hon-esty and commitment to the moral good with cowardice for not following the crowd
Although it is very likely that these anonymous students may never publicly come forward they should take comfort in representing and speaking for the thousands of students who feel silenced on a daily basis by corrupt systems of power that are allowed to perpetuate on our campus
As a columnist I am given the oppor-tunity to write about any topic I wish in this space every Wednesday However I have no control over any content ndash other than my own ndash that is published in these pages allowing me to both participate in and comment on the paper from a quasi-external point of view
I must say Irsquom extremely proud of this newspaperrsquos coverage of these develop-ments in the greek system In every area of its coverage the reporters and edi-tors have been tough direct and deter-mined to get to the bottom of the story Mondayrsquos and Tuesdayrsquos editorial board op-eds were spot on giving light to tough issues and raising pertinent questions about the real nature of our campus and student body
With the lengthy allegations of hazing detailed in Tuesdayrsquos paper the burden is now placed on the administration to end the detrimental traditions that our greek system has held on to for far too long The thoroughly corroborated details of the hazing incidents by the students should be enough of a spark for administrators to begin the process of change
In many ways the administration should want this type of attention to be
devoted to outdated aspects of greek life With four of the six students sent to DCH for alcohol poisoning this semester belonging to greek organizations this is no longer an issue of simply looking the other way for the eight weeks of fraterni-ty pledgeship This is no longer an issue that major donors can essentially hold over the Universityrsquos head This is about the safety and welfare of our youngest students upholding the promise we made to make them better and focusing on the legacy ndash the example ndash that we leave behind
But in the midst of all the attention being placed on the anonymous stu-dents we should be focusing on holding accountable the students who were elect-ed to lead our greek system Neither the Interfraternity Council nor Panhellenic Association has commented on the haz-ing allegations They have offered no plans to prevent the same type of alleged hazing from occurring on campus tonight They know better than anyone that these incidents happen often yet they do nothing to correct the problem
These same leaders seem to always be the first to tell us about a new concert they are sponsoring or philanthropy we can give money to but when we need real leadership and bold guidance to move our University forward they are nowhere to be found Where are these leaders Why do they remain silent
No greek student could have been shocked by yesterdayrsquos headline We know what happens and how it happens The true question is how much longer we will continue to hang on by a thread and when our community as a whole will come to the realization that the status quo just isnrsquot working
In many ways and for many reasons ndash not particularly positive ndash we have accepted our culture despite its many flaws Wersquove grown complacent lethar-gic and unmotivated Perhaps this spark is just what we needed

With issue raised fraternity leaders must address hazing
By Henry DownesStaff Columnist
The Collar family of Wetumpka Ala is mourning the loss of their son Gil this week after the freshman was gunned down by a campus police officer at the University of South Alabama on Oct 6
There is an ongoing investigation examining the decision by Trevis Austin the campus police officer involved to use lethal force in the situation We should be careful in these early stages to remember that criminal suspects are innocent until proven guilty in this coun-try Since all the facts have not yet been released it is only fair to wait for the due process of the law to bring charges and a conviction ndash if necessary ndash before we condemn
Still thanks to a video of the incident released to the media last week there is a fair amount of information we are able to know about the shooting
We know that Collar was tripping on LSD at the time As a result he clearly was in an altered state of mind as he approached the police station that eve-ning he was naked and began pounding on the window of the station The fact that Collar wasnrsquot clothed seems impor-tant in evaluating Austinrsquos decision to use lethal force here Even though Collar could not have possibly been armed Austin still approached Collar with his gun drawn
We know that Collar was 18 years old
and only 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds Austin by comparison is 27 trained to use ldquoempty-handed submission techniquesrdquo (ie physical force) and stands over 6 feet tall LSD or not there are some ques-tions as to why Austin chose to use any weapon at all ndash lethal or non-lethal ndash in this situation
We know that Austin shot Collar only once to the chest Not the hand arm shoulder foot or leg ndash but the chest where the heart and lungs are located He shot to kill and it proved to be a fatal wound
Finally we know that by and large the national news media doesnrsquot really care about this Most air-time and print devoted to the incident has come from local stations and newspapers in Mobile Montgomery or Birmingham
This is clearly a massive departure from the national media firestorm precipitated by the shooting of teen Trayvon Martin by security guard George Zimmerman last February
In that case the media was appall-ingly quick to condemn Zimmerman which was confusing since the facts were even more obscure than the Collar shooting And although no video exists for that incident convincing evidence shows that Martin however harrassed by Zimmerman was the physical antag-onist
In the Martin case which is still in the midst of court proceedings everyone from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
to President Obama was quick to enter the fray seizing a delicate and tragic situation in order to score political points They painted Martinrsquos shooting as a racial event a hate crime despite a complete lack of evidence for any racially biased motive The outpouring of support for the Martin family paled in comparison to the racist vitriol spewed at Zimmerman the New Black Panthers offered a $10000 reward for the ldquocap-turerdquo of Zimmerman
Factually the two cases are compa-rable ndash in either case a low-level law enforcement officer used lethal force to diffuse an ambiguous (at best) situation So why was the public outcry so very different
I would hate to think the media uproar was so extreme because Martin was black Why should skin color influence our level of interest in the shooting of a teen Why is society so quick to point the finger and play the ldquorace cardrdquo
Both Martin and Collar were by all accounts good and happy kids Their lives met a tragic end because of the questionable actions taken by armed men with authority indoctrinated in the police gun culture Yes Martin was black and Collar was white but they were both victims of regrettable violence and died unnecessary deaths Those are the only facts that matter to me

South Alabama shooting forces us to look at media bias question law enforcement

I study on Sunday afternoons So the other day as I stared dully at my dimly lit computer screen struggling to remem-ber what was so important about the Rule of Thirds in photojournalism I was looking for any excuse to take a break from reading and rereading my carefully taken notes
My first distraction came from the lyr-ics to the background music I had stream-ing from my extensive iTunes library
ldquoDonrsquot get stuck in the meantime Therersquos no such thing as the meantimerdquo
After hearing this bit of wisdom from the Louisiana-based indie rock band Givers I could only think of it as a chal-lenge ndash a challenge not only to me but to everyone
American culture dictates that we all constantly look to the future for progress and new opportunity We reject history and run from our past in the hopes of embracing our own uniquely crafted highly idealistic future ndash an image shrouded in romanticism As citizens of a relatively young nation Americans con-stantly have their eyes fixed somewhere in the distant future just beyond the hori-zon of today This is where the idea of the
ldquomeantimerdquo comes inOften we are so concerned with what
is to come that we forget about the pres-ent We have effectively all become stuck in the ldquomeantimerdquo ndash the awkward limbo between what is past and what is to come Itrsquos that uncomfortable window of time when yoursquove arrived at a party just a little too early and yoursquore stuck waiting for more people to show up for someone to cut through the blaring silence for things to finally begin And this is pre-cisely how we live our lives ndash eternally perched on the edge of our seats waiting for it to start
From the time we first learn to speak we are prompted with the question of what we want to be when we grow up eliciting adorably innocent answers such as rock star president and superhero And by the age of 10 we are all filling out worksheets asking us questions about where we see ourselves in 5 10 and 20 years
When you think about it this seems like some pretty heavy stuff for young children to be worrying about
These two examples provide an unex-pectedly poignant insight into the foun-dation of American society that has got us all looking ahead
But in the quintessentially American
fashion of paradox we are also constant-ly being bombarded with catchy phrases and clicheacutes that remind us to live for the now ldquoCarpe diemrdquo the highly overused phrase championed in the cult-classic ldquoDead Poets Society rdquo may have evolved into ldquoYOLOrdquo but these are all just differ-ent names for the same thing
Itrsquos as if we are being stretched in two ways by two equal opposing forc-es While one side reminds us that we must prepare for our future and think about the potential consequences of our actions the other counters telling us our time is limited ndash when we stop thinking and start doing we truly experience life
Ultimately like many things in life the only way to approach the central para-dox of how to live is to obtain a healthy balance Human nature calls for us to seek improvement so while wersquore grasp-ing for the wondrously illusive green light symbolizing the eternal American Dream mentioned in Fitzgeraldrsquos ldquoThe Great Gatsbyrdquo we should also take care to make sure that we are not unknowingly getting ourselves stuck in the meantime

Student organizations will have direct access to the Student Government Association through a new program offering monthly meetings between orga-nization representatives and SGA members
The SGA Delegates Program organized under the Office of Engagement offers student organizations the opportunity to assign two members the role of delegates Delegates will meet monthly with SGA officials to communicate about organization plans for the current and upcoming semesters
During these meetings delegates will have the opportunity to seek help from the SGA regarding financial support and con-nections to other organiza-tions on campus
Morgan Mullen presi-dent of Resonance Show Choir said she thinks the Delegates Program will benefit organizations that are not typically centered on campus
ldquoI know our group can sometimes feel disconnected from the central flow of the Universityrdquo she said ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel more connected on campus We would benefit greatly from more people knowing about our existencerdquo
Planned to launch later this year the Delegates Program began as an
additional outlet for stu-dents to share their ideas with and effectively seek out support from the SGA Matt Calderone SGA presi-dent and Chase Burnham SGA director of engagement were integral in creating the program
ldquoDeveloping a program where students could more effectively have their voices heard in the political process on campus was a major plat-form of Mattrsquos campaignrdquo he said ldquoUpon my appoint-ment as SGA director of engagement our office took that idea and did everything in our power to develop a program that gives every student organization on campus a seat at the table With UA Delegates wersquore hoping to bring together the diverse range of stu-dents on this campus in order to have a more posi-tive impact on the campus as a wholerdquo
All organizations are eligible to appoint a junior andor senior del-egate for regular meetings with the SGA The junior delegate can be any new member within the organi-zation and the senior del-egate can be any returning
member No class restric-tions apply in order to par-ticipate as either level dele-gate meaning any organiza-tion member from freshman through senior standing could hold either or both positions for any given orga-nization
Meagan Bryant SGA exec-utive press secretary said the SGA hopes organiza-tions will use the Delegates Program to become educat-ed on available resources
ldquoOf the funds allocated in last yearrsquos budget for the same purpose $45000 went unclaimed by student orga-nizations for reimburse-ment or financial supportrdquo she said ldquoUA Delegates will help to prevent this from happening again by ensuring sufficient communication is occurring between SGA offi-cials and on-campus organi-zationsrdquo
Interested delegates can apply by filling out a form via a brochure dis-tributed to each organiza-tion Applicants can pick up forms from the SGA office download the brochure from the SGA website or send an email to the SGA Engagement account at uadelegatesgmailcom

SGA creates program for student group delegates
By Angie BarteltContributing Writer
Although The University of Alabama offers several pub-lishing outlets to students the Dewpoint Literary Journal specializes in poetry prose and critical writing for which they have received national recogni-tion
Dewpoint is run by the Phi Xi chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society Phi Xi works with the English and creative writing depart-ments with a goal of publishing the creative works on campus and is open to all undergradu-ate students This year marks Dewpointrsquos third year to pub-lish at the University
The student journal was awarded the second-place national prize for Most Outstanding Literary Journal for 2011-2012 from Sigma Tau Delta The publication was not eligible for an award last spring semester however because of their award the previous fall This semesterrsquos publication will be their first chance at a second national award
Dewpoint publications are
divided into three main sec-tions poetry prose and critical writing Some of the previous Dewpoint issues also included space for submitted art ndash a fac-tor that may be left out of the newest publication A graphic novel may also be included instead of or possibly in addi-tion to art
Last yearrsquos journal was published through Borgo Publishing a company current Dewpoint staff hope to contin-ue working with
Besides aesthetic changes to the physical journal Dewpoint hopes to expand to universi-ties across the state and the Southeast
ldquoIt is a new big idea to take this project and make it more than UA this yearrdquo Joey Gamble poetry editor of Dewpoint said ldquoThat way we would have a larger submis-sion pool for undergraduates this year We could possibly include either universities in the Southeast or just in Alabama The original founda-tion for Dewpoint was an out-let for publication here at UA so if we move away from our original position it will be a lot
more work but it could expand our legitimacy and help our longevity in our projectsrdquo
The extension of Dewpoint would bring more opportuni-ties for aspiring writers and poets to get published and cre-ate an avenue for other schools that do not have the same publi-cation opportunities as a major university to have a chance at national recognition
ldquoWe won this award at con-vention which adds something special to being a part of itrdquo Nadia Barksdale the journalrsquos design editor said ldquoExpanding could bring our work to a higher levelrdquo
Dewpoint staff members agree that incorporating opin-ions that differ throughout the region into the publication could improve the status of the journal
ldquoOur main purpose to state to our readers is that this is Alabama and we hope to rede-fine what it means to be an Alabama writer todayrdquo Shea Stripling the journalrsquos editor-in-chief said
Dewpoint accepts staff mem-bers and submissions from the entire UA student body
ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel
more connected on campus

Gonzales discuss Siegelman Alabama immigration law
Gonzales pointed to the many issues that he faced as attorney general as a reason for not having more to contribute about Siegelmanrsquos case
ldquoAs attorney general yoursquore not going to weigh in on everything Sometimes you have to give it to the deputy attorney generalrdquo he said ldquoYoursquore involved in so many situations and deci-sions that sometimes you have to delegate Personally though itrsquos troublingrdquo
Gonzales also addressed Alabamarsquos anti-immigration law commonly known as HB 56 and the recent Supreme Court decision invalidating many parts of a similar law
ldquoI donrsquot know a lot about Alabamarsquos immigration laws but I do think that our states are trying to appease their constituentsrdquo he said ldquoWhen you claim authority as the US Supreme Court has done in this case you also have responsibility to address the problems in another wayrdquo
Jonathan Thompson a masterrsquos student in educa-tion and history said he was impressed by Gonzalesrsquo demeanor in addressing the heated questions from
the audienceldquoI was slightly off
guard by the Siegelman questions but Irsquom glad they were askedrdquo Thompson said ldquoIt is just a dicey situ-ation still especially in the state of Alabama Gonzales did a great job at addressing themrdquo
Joseph Siegelman said although he was nervous he was glad to have an oppor-tunity to address some of the issues surrounding his fatherrsquos trial and conviction
ldquoI was certainly intimidat-ed mdash hersquos the former attor-ney general of the United Statesrdquo he said ldquoWe see a glimmer of hope wersquore just working to make that a little biggerrdquo

The music world has been far too prolific over the past week or so to devote an entire 600 words to one artist or recording so herersquos some of the hippest stuff Irsquove been hearing
Grace PotterI want to be Grace Potter when
I grow up Or at the very least marry her That seems to be the consensus of 9723 percent of the folks Irsquove talked to about the Nocturnalsrsquo opening set for the Avett Brothers at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater last Thursday night
Grace and company drove through their allotted hour with reckless joyful abandon which is very much the par for their course These guys always seem so happy on stage Grace dances around in tune-induced scantily-clothed bliss while drummer Matt Burr beats the tubs without withholding a single tooth from view (The latter may follow from
its prime vantage point on the for-mer)
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals released a new album ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo in June 2012 but the performance was a solid mix as the old bookended the new
They kicked off the set with ldquoNothing But the Water (II)rdquo from the 2005 album of the same name a fun jam with several individual member-featuring solos that lent themselves perfectly to the intros Grace rolled out in concurrence with the song
Country-tinged ballads ldquoParachute Heartrdquo and ldquoStarsrdquo from the new record gave Grace the opportunity to show off her beautiful powerful vocal prowess ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo the albumrsquos title track sounded even more heavy and driving live But it was disappointing to hear the bandrsquos live use of digital sustain on Gracersquos voice at select points in the song ndash an effect a voice like hers just doesnrsquot require
All was forgiven when the band closed the set with ldquoParis (Ooh La
La)rdquo and ldquoMedicinerdquo two favor-ites from their eponymous 2010 album As has become the bandrsquos custom the end of ldquoMedicinerdquo turned into a group-wide drum-clobbering section a tremendous-ly pleasing gimmick the band will grow tired of long before the fans will
The Rolling StonesThe Rolling Stonesrsquo new single
is good Thatrsquos what I thought after I gave ldquoDoom and Gloomrdquo a listen Thursday morning when the band released the track as the first single from upcoming com-pilation album ldquoGRRRrdquo sched-uled for release on Nov 12 Then I listened to it again And another time after that The clicheacute stops there because I had somewhere to be but you better believe the tune was stuck in my head the rest of the day
Now that Irsquom approximately 86 listens in allow me to mod-ify my original evaluation the Rolling Stonesrsquo new single is deceivingly good

Creative Campus is in the development stages of a do-it-yourself series that will allow student art making and hands on projects through interactive events
ldquoPart of Creative Campusrsquos objective is to spread artistic diversity throughout the UA campusrdquo Shiori Ito Creative Campus intern and leader of DIY UA said
Each week will have a differ-ent DIY focus and the events will be held bi-weekly through-out the school year Although the project is not fully off the ground yet the first session will begin Nov 13 from 6 to 7 pm
ldquoCreative Campus is designed
to connect people while turning innovative ideas into actionrdquo Katherine Howard one of the students working on the proj-ect said ldquoIn many ways this is DIY UArsquos goalrdquo
The first session will be a tutorial teaching students basic knitting skills and the second will be an overview of candle making Both sessions will be held in Maxwell Hall the Creative Campus building
ldquoWe also want to start a Cooking in the Dorms video series where students teach students how to cook simple and chap dishes that donrsquot require many supplies or much equipmentrdquo Howard said
The club requires no monthly or annual dues Students may be required to bring some of
their own materials but other materials will be provided by DIY UA
Information about the proj-ects and materials will be pro-vided in a monthly newslet-ter and the same information will be posted on the Creative Campus website Details of what to bring what will be pro-vided and where students wish-ing to participate can purchase materials for the lowest cost will be provided in the newslet-ter

For student parents the issue of finding an affordable and available babysitter can be a daunting task
Between juggling school and raising a child many student par-ents simply do not have the time or resources to find a babysitter who meets their needs In response to this The University of Alabama created Sitters for Service an ini-tiative developed to provide parents with free babysitting services from student volunteer babysitters
Sitters for Service was devel-oped three and a half years ago to serve the 2000+ student parents on
campus Currently it serves 38 stu-dent families and provides them with access to 38 different sitters the highest quantity in the pro-gramrsquos history
ldquoThe program is the first of
its kind in the countryrdquo Cori Perdue work life manager for the University and program coordina-tor said ldquoWe now have two other universities that have contacted us about setting up similar programs on their campusesrdquo
The program is volunteer-based and student sitters can earn com-munity service hours by choosing the number of hours they would like to dedicate per semester Sitters can choose to serve 20 30 or 40 hours each semester For stu-dents like Alex Constantine the program has been an excellent way to get involved and give back to the community
ldquoI like that itrsquos a volunteer
program thatrsquos helping other UA students that maybe donrsquot have the time or money to get other babysit-ters It makes me feel good to help other students out because I know how hard the workload is and being a parent is a whole other responsi-bility on top of thatrdquo Constantine a junior majoring in elementary edu-cation said
Although the program is com-prised of sitters with a variety of majors many of the students par-ticipate in the program as a way to gain valuable experience in their fields of study and to apply their knowledge to real life situations
ldquoA lot of times the students are nursing majors or education majors
that are trying to get related experi-ence in their fieldsrdquo Perdue said
The program has been largely successful over the past few years in aiding student parents in their search for an appropriate babysit-ter Following the application and interview process all students must become CPR certified and then par-ticipate in a meet-and-greet session where all parents meet with each of the sitters to find which sitters best meet their needs This provides the parents with peace of mind in knowing that their babysitter is well qualified and a good match
Rachel Delevett a senior major-ing in human development and family studies is in her fourth
semester with the programldquoI think itrsquos a great way to give
back to the University as a wholerdquo Delevett said ldquoI like working with the parents because they are respectful of your time and under-stand that yoursquore a student and they are really grateful for the pro-gramrdquo
Students interested in volun-teering for the Sitters for Service program can find more infor-mation on the Graduate Parent Support website at wwwgpsuaedu Applications for the Spring 2013 semester are currently avail-able Students may also contact Cori Perdue work life manager at cperduefauaedu

Except in South Africa where he became a Bob Dylan-caliber poet-laureate for the downtrod-den and working class Nobody thought to tell Rodriguez about his hero status however so he worked as a day laborer in Detroit until his daughter discovered
his fame in the late 1990s and he performed a string of concerts in the country
His scratchy voice and poignant lyrics make the Dylan compari-son an easy one but Rodriguez is more than a novelty copycat act His sound is pleasing a synthesis of the disquiet you see in Dylan the yearning you hear in Van Morrison and that weird beauti-ful suggestion of physical space you feel in the Moody Blues The phrasing and edge of Rodriguezrsquos words in ldquoHate Street Dialoguerdquo from 1970rsquos ldquoCold Factrdquo always reminds me of Deep Purplersquos Ian Anderson

Bama looks ahead to UF UGAVOLLEYBALL MENrsquoS GOLF
By Mary Grace ShowfetyStaff Reporter
Alabama volleyball will return to Foster Auditorium on Friday Oct 19 at 7 pm with a winning attitude
After what senior Kayla Fitterer called a solid week-end of play the Crimson Tide is ready to defend their home court by any means necessary
The Tide traveled to South Carolina on Friday where they were able to take the Gamecocks in four sets The final stop over the weekend was to Baton Rouge La where LSU battled
through four sets to victory over the Tide
Fitterer said both outcomes were a product of the way the Tide played
ldquoSouth Carolina was a really good win for usrdquo Fitterer said ldquoWe played really well and it showed With LSU we played well but we could have played better and had that urgency to finish We shouldrsquove won that fourth game ndash we were up and in the end we just let them sneak some points to winrdquo
Though the Tide is no stranger to tough competition the LSU match was especially
challengingJunior Andrea McQuaid
said the team expected a win because the last time the Tigers came to Tuscaloosa the Tide swept them
ldquoThey were firing on all cyl-inders because of how bad we beat them hererdquo McQuaid said ldquoThey were just out for revenge It was a catfight in warm-upsrdquo
Looking ahead to what should be a competition-filled weekend of play the Tide is confident in their abilities even with teams like Florida and Georgia on the ticket
Friday night the Tide will take on No 9 Florida who remains unbeaten in SEC play This will be the first meeting of the sea-son with the Gators
ldquoFlorida is a great teamrdquo McQuaid said ldquoOne thing that Irsquove learned in college sports is that no one is unbeatable At any given time an underdog can beat somebody Wersquore not expecting to lose any games this weekend as with any match We expect to win and wersquore going to give our best effortsrdquo
Head coach Ed Allen said Florida will be the Tidersquos tough-
est competition to dateldquoAlthough we felt like
Tennessee and Texas AampM were extremely competitive teams we think Florida is clearly the favorite to win the league at this pointrdquo Allen said
Sunday however will be a rematch between Alabama and Georgia The Tide traveled to Athens Ga in September for what turned out to be a heart-breaking loss in five sets
ldquoThe Georgia team we com-peted really hard against and we shouldrsquove pulled that out for a win but it will be a good gamerdquo Fitterer said ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here ready to win and we are toordquo
The Florida match comes at a special time in womenrsquos ath-letics at the Capstone Keeping with the tradition started by gymnastics head coach Sarah Patterson in 2004 Crimson Tide volleyball celebrates the Power of Pink Initiative
Power of Pink began as a gym-nastics team tradition in 2009 it spread to the entire womenrsquos athletic department as a way to spread breast cancer awareness in West Alabama
ldquoWersquore thrilled to be able to contribute a match this month for a cause that is significant-ly important and [that] has touched many of us already or will touch others in the coming yearsrdquo Allen said ldquoWersquore happy to help raise awareness raise funds and support a cause that is clearly worth supportingrdquo
CW Staff
In come-from-behind fashion the Alabama menrsquos golf team swept the medal-ist honors at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate played at the par-70 7204 yard Old Overton Golf Club
ldquoWe needed this winrdquo head coach Jay Seawell said following the round ldquoWe have been stumbling so Irsquom really proud It doesnrsquot matter how you do it I donrsquot think it was pret-ty Winning is always win-ning so that brings a lot of confidence and that is the part Irsquom proud of The guys have worked hard and hung in there Irsquom really proud of how they hung in all day longrdquo
Alabama found them-selves on the top of the team leaderboard at the end of the day on Tuesday after trailing for the previ-ous two rounds Shooting a team total of 2-over 282 Alabama defeated runner-up Florida by four strokes Auburn finished third with a 27-over 867 while UNLV took home fourth place

The win was Alabamarsquos fifth victory overall at the JPNI all coming in the last seven years Thomasrsquos indi-vidual win was the fifth in school history at the JPNI and the last since Hunter Hamrickrsquos win in 2009

Crimson Tide readies for trip to Neyland Stadium on SaturdayBy Alexis PaineStaff Reporter
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team will see famil-iar faces on the Tennessee Volunteer sideline as they take the field at Neyland Stadium this Saturday The Tide offense will go head-to-head with a defense coached by former Tide defen-sive coordinator Sal Sunseri who joined the Volunteer coaching staff before this sea-son Tide players will also com-pete against former teammate Darrington Sentimore who left the Tide in 2010 Linebacker CJ Mosley said it will be fun to see what his former teammate does on the opposite side of the field The junior also said it will not be weird to see Sunseri on the opposing teamrsquos sideline
ldquoIrsquom going to be too busy try-ing to stop the offenserdquo Mosley said ldquoHe was a great coach when he was here Irsquom pretty sure hersquos doing a great job there but my job is to focus on the offense and what theyrsquore going to dordquo
Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said he is not con-cerned about playing former members of the Tide and does not believe it will affect the team
ldquoYou gotta worry about you how you prepare for the game what you need to do to win the gamerdquo McCarron said
Rivalry changes little in practice
The historic Alabama-Tennessee rivalry did not pro-voke a change in this weekrsquos preparations in practice Mosley said The Tide has maintained
Bama needs to play at full potential to beat UTBy Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Another week has come and gone and with it another victory for the Crimson Tide Although a few injuries and a little damp weather stalled what was otherwise a well-oiled machine in Alabama the Tide still proved to show its superior talent with a 42-10 win over the Missouri Tigers
Again Alabama didnrsquot play to its full potential the entire game Still it was fairly obvi-ous it didnrsquot need to As a matter of fact in none of the games thus far this season has Alabama had to play up to its full potential to pull out a vic-tory
And while thatrsquos all fine and good it does present a particular problem that may meet the Tide down the road In fact itrsquoll meet the Crimson Tide at home in Bryant-Denny Stadium in about two weeks time ndash because that is when the now-undefeated Mississippi State Bulldogs come to town
Alabama will for the first time this season play a team that has not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them this year (If you donrsquot believe me look at teams like Michigan and Arkansas)
Thatrsquos not the end of it either The following week the Tide travels to Baton Rouge La to play not only one of the most talented teams in the nation but in one of the most ominous stadiums in the coun-try Thatrsquos a tall order by any-onersquos standards
Now Irsquom not saying Alabama
doesnrsquot have what it takes to go through that two-week stretch unscathed Itrsquos still my opinion that Alabama has the most talented well-coached team in the nation And when they play to their full potential they are nearly unstoppable
But herersquos the problem for the Tide to be unstoppable it has tohellip drum roll pleasehellip play up to its full potential Not for a portion of the game No it has to play lights out the entire game or at least the majority of it which is something the Tide has struggled with thus far this season
This is a team that hasnrsquot faced any real adversity so far ndash not really Thatrsquos great because it shows an accurate picture of how talented this team is it doesnrsquot have to play to its full potential to soundly beat someone (herersquos looking at you Mizzou)
But if Alabama doesnrsquot play up to its standards against a team like LSU or Mississippi State or (quite possibly) teams like Florida South Carolina or Georgia it may very well be put in a strenuous situation And thatrsquos where this season could be won or lost
If the Tide can play up to its full potential handling any and all adversity that comes its way Alabama may well be on its way to another incred-ible season But Alabama still has to prove it can overcome adversity and play to its stan-dards of play on both sides of the ball before fans can really start looking for No 15
Therersquos still a long way to go before all is said and done

The rivalry between The University of Alabama and Auburn University may add another component this spring in the form of a hovercraft race
Hisham Ali a UA senior and aerospace engineering major recently submitted a proposal to the College of Engineering to create an Alabama hover-craft team The proposal was approved shortly before fall break
Ali and three other aero-space engineering seniors are planning to build a fully func-tional hovercraft as part of their senior design project They hope to bring a hovercraft race to Tuscaloosa in coordination with Hoverclub of America
ldquoThe problem is these nation-al hover rallies are always in the summer and thatrsquos not good for an academic design schedulerdquo Ali said ldquoSo I proposed that we organize our own racerdquo
Hoverclub of America spon-sors hovercraft races across the country but it has never held one in Alabama Auburn created
a hovercraft team in 2003 and won second place overall at its first rally
Auburnrsquos team the Hovering Tigers hasnrsquot raced in a few years but they are constructing a craft to race later this year Ali contacted the team about hold-ing a race in Alabama
ldquoOur goal is to have this race by the end of Marchrdquo Ali said
The races are generally held during the course of a weekend in a public park along a river or lake The course must cover both land and water In addition to the race these hover rallies often include a barbecue camping and technical seminars about building hovercrafts
Kent Gano racing director of Hoverclub of America recently visited Ali in Tuscaloosa after he was contacted about spon-soring a race While no specific location has been set they are considering locations such as Lake Lurleen in Tuscaloosa
Lake Martin near Montgomery and Chewacla State Park in Auburn
Gano said the race could be the starting point of an entire collegiate division of hovercraft racing
ldquoThis is the beginning of a possible region sports eventrdquo Gano said ldquoThis could hopefully turn into a nice little college-
type competition every yearrdquo
The first step for Ali and his team however is actually build-ing the craft The College of Engineering has given the team space in the aero-space structures
lab in Hardaway Hall to house and construct their vehicle The team will compete in the Formula S class which allows just a single engine and single fan
Hovercrafts are typically piloted by a single driver and can reach speeds of 60 mph on a land and water track Some crafts are built from a structured
set of plans while others contain original design and ingenuity
The project is split into four areas of design controls propul-sion structures and aerodynam-ics Each of the four seniors are in charge of one area They also have a team of underclassmen working with them so that the hovercraft team can continue even after they graduate
Ali hopes to have the plan-ning phase done by November and the construction done by February so the driver can get comfortable with the craft before a March race
ldquoItrsquos basically a frictionless vehiclerdquo Ali said ldquoso you can go pretty fastrdquo
While teams from across the country would be invited to compete at a hovercraft race in Alabama the Alabama-Auburn angle would certainly produce interest for locals
ldquoThat would be cool because it would be something thatrsquos not brute sportsrdquo Thomas Zeiler an associate professor of aero-space engineering and advisor for the senior design project said ldquoThatrsquos a lot more technical than footballrdquo

Sitting through lectures all day and spending endless nights studying can make a real job seem distant for most college students However sev-eral University of Alabama stu-dents had the chance this past weekend to get a taste of what life outside of the classroom will be like
Five UA students trav-eled to Dauphin Island Oct
12-14 to work alongside Food Network star Martie Duncan in a culinary event Duncan was a recent finalist on Food Networkrsquos ldquoFood Network Starrdquo
The team of UA students helped Duncan plan set-up and execute the 2012 Seafood Science amp Celebrity event
Diana DeFatta a senior majoring in restaurant and hospitality management was chosen to attend this event in order to give her experience in
her field of studyldquoI was able to have my first
real world experience and hands-on experiencerdquo DeFatta said ldquowhich is something I could not get in the classroom settingrdquo
DeFatta was able to utilize her major concentration of meetings and event planning as she helped set up and work the event
ldquoI learned that there is a lot of work that goes into mak-ing an eventrdquo DeFatta said
ldquoThere is a lot of physical work lots of heavy lifting and lots of detailsrdquo
The involvement of Alabama students was coordinated by the new UA chapter of Meetings Professionals International MPI is designed to help stu-dents gain industry experience and connect them to industry professionals before they enter the workforce Alyssa Tilkin co-founder of UA MPI was the student leader of the event this past weekend
ldquoThis was an incredible expe-rience for all of our membersrdquo Tilkin said ldquoOne chef told me he thought we were event staff He was surprised to find out we were students from The University of Alabamardquo
Alexa Verroi a senior major-ing in advertising recently got involved with UA MPI She worked as a culinary assistant for the weekend something she had never done before
ldquoIrsquove had never done events beforerdquo Verroi said ldquoSo I was
able to experience the real life complete chaos that is event planningrdquo
In addition to all the hard work that went into this week-end Verroi said it was a plus torub elbows with a few celebri-ties as well The students not only met Martie Duncan but also former UA football playerBob Baumhower and former American Idol winner and Alabama native Taylor Hicks the featured performer at the event

If any of you watched ESPN Filmrsquos ldquoBrokerdquo you know that over half of all professional football players go bankrupt three years after retiring from the NFL And keep in mind most of these retire-ments occur while these players are still in their twenties
Again if you watched this documenta-ry you probably immediately wondered how many of these football players were former Alabama students I wondered this as well but in the end the names do not matter What matters is that The University of Alabama takes a stand to help its current and prospective students ndash athlete or not ndash avoid financial ruin in the near future
No one wants to have insurmountable debt when they leave college but thatrsquos the fate many are faced with because of the necessity for student loans Still there is no reason to make the situation worse by adding more debt after you have graduated Living within your means or better yet living under your means is the best remedy to cure chronic debt
But unless you are encouraged and taught how to do this you will more than likely get into financial trouble So here are some suggestions that may help
First The University of Alabama should require that every student take some form of basic accounting or money management courses while enrolled
I know some people scoff at the word ldquorequirerdquo but letrsquos not act like this is calculus that you will never use again in your life ndash everyone needs and will use financial literacy skills
Furthermore this kind of course requirement should be implemented at the high school level as well If good hab-its are taught early they are more likely to be absorbed for the long haul
Second since the Crimson Tide will inevitably produce numerous NFL draft picks every single year all current foot-ball players need to learn how to keep from losing millions of dollars overnight No administrator or professor should be proud to say they were the reason a former player blew all of his millions on happy hour at Applebeersquos
Lastly these actions need to be imple-mented quickly Every second that is wasted giving lip service another UA graduate gets a mortgage they canrsquot afford a car they canrsquot pay for and so on and so forth Letrsquos stop the apathy right now
For the record Irsquom all for Auburn alum-ni going completely and totally bankrupt ndash especially if his or her name begins with Cam and ends in Newton

Over the past two weeks this newspa-per has reported extensively on the atmo-sphere of our Universityrsquos greek system ndash the largest in the nation ndash uncovering and exposing troubling aspects of such an integral element of our student life
With a simple email to University and state administrators detailing discon-tentment among some potential new greek organization members our cam-pus is suddenly awash in conversation about the Universityrsquos most taboo topic ndash greek pledgeship But this time it doesnrsquot look like itrsquos going away any time soon
Itrsquos easy for us to initially be skeptical of whistleblowers They are by defini-tion alleging serious wrongdoing within established hierarchies and their claims make us face uncomfortable realities But we should never mistake their hon-esty and commitment to the moral good with cowardice for not following the crowd
Although it is very likely that these anonymous students may never publicly come forward they should take comfort in representing and speaking for the thousands of students who feel silenced on a daily basis by corrupt systems of power that are allowed to perpetuate on our campus
As a columnist I am given the oppor-tunity to write about any topic I wish in this space every Wednesday However I have no control over any content ndash other than my own ndash that is published in these pages allowing me to both participate in and comment on the paper from a quasi-external point of view
I must say Irsquom extremely proud of this newspaperrsquos coverage of these develop-ments in the greek system In every area of its coverage the reporters and edi-tors have been tough direct and deter-mined to get to the bottom of the story Mondayrsquos and Tuesdayrsquos editorial board op-eds were spot on giving light to tough issues and raising pertinent questions about the real nature of our campus and student body
With the lengthy allegations of hazing detailed in Tuesdayrsquos paper the burden is now placed on the administration to end the detrimental traditions that our greek system has held on to for far too long The thoroughly corroborated details of the hazing incidents by the students should be enough of a spark for administrators to begin the process of change
In many ways the administration should want this type of attention to be
devoted to outdated aspects of greek life With four of the six students sent to DCH for alcohol poisoning this semester belonging to greek organizations this is no longer an issue of simply looking the other way for the eight weeks of fraterni-ty pledgeship This is no longer an issue that major donors can essentially hold over the Universityrsquos head This is about the safety and welfare of our youngest students upholding the promise we made to make them better and focusing on the legacy ndash the example ndash that we leave behind
But in the midst of all the attention being placed on the anonymous stu-dents we should be focusing on holding accountable the students who were elect-ed to lead our greek system Neither the Interfraternity Council nor Panhellenic Association has commented on the haz-ing allegations They have offered no plans to prevent the same type of alleged hazing from occurring on campus tonight They know better than anyone that these incidents happen often yet they do nothing to correct the problem
These same leaders seem to always be the first to tell us about a new concert they are sponsoring or philanthropy we can give money to but when we need real leadership and bold guidance to move our University forward they are nowhere to be found Where are these leaders Why do they remain silent
No greek student could have been shocked by yesterdayrsquos headline We know what happens and how it happens The true question is how much longer we will continue to hang on by a thread and when our community as a whole will come to the realization that the status quo just isnrsquot working
In many ways and for many reasons ndash not particularly positive ndash we have accepted our culture despite its many flaws Wersquove grown complacent lethar-gic and unmotivated Perhaps this spark is just what we needed

With issue raised fraternity leaders must address hazing
By Henry DownesStaff Columnist
The Collar family of Wetumpka Ala is mourning the loss of their son Gil this week after the freshman was gunned down by a campus police officer at the University of South Alabama on Oct 6
There is an ongoing investigation examining the decision by Trevis Austin the campus police officer involved to use lethal force in the situation We should be careful in these early stages to remember that criminal suspects are innocent until proven guilty in this coun-try Since all the facts have not yet been released it is only fair to wait for the due process of the law to bring charges and a conviction ndash if necessary ndash before we condemn
Still thanks to a video of the incident released to the media last week there is a fair amount of information we are able to know about the shooting
We know that Collar was tripping on LSD at the time As a result he clearly was in an altered state of mind as he approached the police station that eve-ning he was naked and began pounding on the window of the station The fact that Collar wasnrsquot clothed seems impor-tant in evaluating Austinrsquos decision to use lethal force here Even though Collar could not have possibly been armed Austin still approached Collar with his gun drawn
We know that Collar was 18 years old
and only 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds Austin by comparison is 27 trained to use ldquoempty-handed submission techniquesrdquo (ie physical force) and stands over 6 feet tall LSD or not there are some ques-tions as to why Austin chose to use any weapon at all ndash lethal or non-lethal ndash in this situation
We know that Austin shot Collar only once to the chest Not the hand arm shoulder foot or leg ndash but the chest where the heart and lungs are located He shot to kill and it proved to be a fatal wound
Finally we know that by and large the national news media doesnrsquot really care about this Most air-time and print devoted to the incident has come from local stations and newspapers in Mobile Montgomery or Birmingham
This is clearly a massive departure from the national media firestorm precipitated by the shooting of teen Trayvon Martin by security guard George Zimmerman last February
In that case the media was appall-ingly quick to condemn Zimmerman which was confusing since the facts were even more obscure than the Collar shooting And although no video exists for that incident convincing evidence shows that Martin however harrassed by Zimmerman was the physical antag-onist
In the Martin case which is still in the midst of court proceedings everyone from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
to President Obama was quick to enter the fray seizing a delicate and tragic situation in order to score political points They painted Martinrsquos shooting as a racial event a hate crime despite a complete lack of evidence for any racially biased motive The outpouring of support for the Martin family paled in comparison to the racist vitriol spewed at Zimmerman the New Black Panthers offered a $10000 reward for the ldquocap-turerdquo of Zimmerman
Factually the two cases are compa-rable ndash in either case a low-level law enforcement officer used lethal force to diffuse an ambiguous (at best) situation So why was the public outcry so very different
I would hate to think the media uproar was so extreme because Martin was black Why should skin color influence our level of interest in the shooting of a teen Why is society so quick to point the finger and play the ldquorace cardrdquo
Both Martin and Collar were by all accounts good and happy kids Their lives met a tragic end because of the questionable actions taken by armed men with authority indoctrinated in the police gun culture Yes Martin was black and Collar was white but they were both victims of regrettable violence and died unnecessary deaths Those are the only facts that matter to me

I study on Sunday afternoons So the other day as I stared dully at my dimly lit computer screen struggling to remem-ber what was so important about the Rule of Thirds in photojournalism I was looking for any excuse to take a break from reading and rereading my carefully taken notes
My first distraction came from the lyr-ics to the background music I had stream-ing from my extensive iTunes library
ldquoDonrsquot get stuck in the meantime Therersquos no such thing as the meantimerdquo
After hearing this bit of wisdom from the Louisiana-based indie rock band Givers I could only think of it as a chal-lenge ndash a challenge not only to me but to everyone
American culture dictates that we all constantly look to the future for progress and new opportunity We reject history and run from our past in the hopes of embracing our own uniquely crafted highly idealistic future ndash an image shrouded in romanticism As citizens of a relatively young nation Americans con-stantly have their eyes fixed somewhere in the distant future just beyond the hori-zon of today This is where the idea of the
ldquomeantimerdquo comes inOften we are so concerned with what
is to come that we forget about the pres-ent We have effectively all become stuck in the ldquomeantimerdquo ndash the awkward limbo between what is past and what is to come Itrsquos that uncomfortable window of time when yoursquove arrived at a party just a little too early and yoursquore stuck waiting for more people to show up for someone to cut through the blaring silence for things to finally begin And this is pre-cisely how we live our lives ndash eternally perched on the edge of our seats waiting for it to start
From the time we first learn to speak we are prompted with the question of what we want to be when we grow up eliciting adorably innocent answers such as rock star president and superhero And by the age of 10 we are all filling out worksheets asking us questions about where we see ourselves in 5 10 and 20 years
When you think about it this seems like some pretty heavy stuff for young children to be worrying about
These two examples provide an unex-pectedly poignant insight into the foun-dation of American society that has got us all looking ahead
But in the quintessentially American
fashion of paradox we are also constant-ly being bombarded with catchy phrases and clicheacutes that remind us to live for the now ldquoCarpe diemrdquo the highly overused phrase championed in the cult-classic ldquoDead Poets Society rdquo may have evolved into ldquoYOLOrdquo but these are all just differ-ent names for the same thing
Itrsquos as if we are being stretched in two ways by two equal opposing forc-es While one side reminds us that we must prepare for our future and think about the potential consequences of our actions the other counters telling us our time is limited ndash when we stop thinking and start doing we truly experience life
Ultimately like many things in life the only way to approach the central para-dox of how to live is to obtain a healthy balance Human nature calls for us to seek improvement so while wersquore grasp-ing for the wondrously illusive green light symbolizing the eternal American Dream mentioned in Fitzgeraldrsquos ldquoThe Great Gatsbyrdquo we should also take care to make sure that we are not unknowingly getting ourselves stuck in the meantime

Student organizations will have direct access to the Student Government Association through a new program offering monthly meetings between orga-nization representatives and SGA members
The SGA Delegates Program organized under the Office of Engagement offers student organizations the opportunity to assign two members the role of delegates Delegates will meet monthly with SGA officials to communicate about organization plans for the current and upcoming semesters
During these meetings delegates will have the opportunity to seek help from the SGA regarding financial support and con-nections to other organiza-tions on campus
Morgan Mullen presi-dent of Resonance Show Choir said she thinks the Delegates Program will benefit organizations that are not typically centered on campus
ldquoI know our group can sometimes feel disconnected from the central flow of the Universityrdquo she said ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel more connected on campus We would benefit greatly from more people knowing about our existencerdquo
Planned to launch later this year the Delegates Program began as an
additional outlet for stu-dents to share their ideas with and effectively seek out support from the SGA Matt Calderone SGA presi-dent and Chase Burnham SGA director of engagement were integral in creating the program
ldquoDeveloping a program where students could more effectively have their voices heard in the political process on campus was a major plat-form of Mattrsquos campaignrdquo he said ldquoUpon my appoint-ment as SGA director of engagement our office took that idea and did everything in our power to develop a program that gives every student organization on campus a seat at the table With UA Delegates wersquore hoping to bring together the diverse range of stu-dents on this campus in order to have a more posi-tive impact on the campus as a wholerdquo
All organizations are eligible to appoint a junior andor senior del-egate for regular meetings with the SGA The junior delegate can be any new member within the organi-zation and the senior del-egate can be any returning
member No class restric-tions apply in order to par-ticipate as either level dele-gate meaning any organiza-tion member from freshman through senior standing could hold either or both positions for any given orga-nization
Meagan Bryant SGA exec-utive press secretary said the SGA hopes organiza-tions will use the Delegates Program to become educat-ed on available resources
ldquoOf the funds allocated in last yearrsquos budget for the same purpose $45000 went unclaimed by student orga-nizations for reimburse-ment or financial supportrdquo she said ldquoUA Delegates will help to prevent this from happening again by ensuring sufficient communication is occurring between SGA offi-cials and on-campus organi-zationsrdquo
Interested delegates can apply by filling out a form via a brochure dis-tributed to each organiza-tion Applicants can pick up forms from the SGA office download the brochure from the SGA website or send an email to the SGA Engagement account at uadelegatesgmailcom

SGA creates program for student group delegates

Although The University of Alabama offers several pub-lishing outlets to students the Dewpoint Literary Journal specializes in poetry prose and critical writing for which they have received national recogni-tion
Dewpoint is run by the Phi Xi chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society Phi Xi works with the English and creative writing depart-ments with a goal of publishing the creative works on campus and is open to all undergradu-ate students This year marks Dewpointrsquos third year to pub-lish at the University
The student journal was awarded the second-place national prize for Most Outstanding Literary Journal for 2011-2012 from Sigma Tau Delta The publication was not eligible for an award last spring semester however because of their award the previous fall This semesterrsquos publication will be their first chance at a second national award
Dewpoint publications are
divided into three main sec-tions poetry prose and critical writing Some of the previous Dewpoint issues also included space for submitted art ndash a fac-tor that may be left out of the newest publication A graphic novel may also be included instead of or possibly in addi-tion to art
Last yearrsquos journal was published through Borgo Publishing a company current Dewpoint staff hope to contin-ue working with
Besides aesthetic changes to the physical journal Dewpoint hopes to expand to universi-ties across the state and the Southeast
ldquoIt is a new big idea to take this project and make it more than UA this yearrdquo Joey Gamble poetry editor of Dewpoint said ldquoThat way we would have a larger submis-sion pool for undergraduates this year We could possibly include either universities in the Southeast or just in Alabama The original founda-tion for Dewpoint was an out-let for publication here at UA so if we move away from our original position it will be a lot
more work but it could expand our legitimacy and help our longevity in our projectsrdquo
The extension of Dewpoint would bring more opportuni-ties for aspiring writers and poets to get published and cre-ate an avenue for other schools that do not have the same publi-cation opportunities as a major university to have a chance at national recognition
ldquoWe won this award at con-vention which adds something special to being a part of itrdquo Nadia Barksdale the journalrsquos design editor said ldquoExpanding could bring our work to a higher levelrdquo
Dewpoint staff members agree that incorporating opin-ions that differ throughout the region into the publication could improve the status of the journal
ldquoOur main purpose to state to our readers is that this is Alabama and we hope to rede-fine what it means to be an Alabama writer todayrdquo Shea Stripling the journalrsquos editor-in-chief said
Dewpoint accepts staff mem-bers and submissions from the entire UA student body
ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel
more connected on campus

Gonzales discuss Siegelman Alabama immigration law
Gonzales pointed to the many issues that he faced as attorney general as a reason for not having more to contribute about Siegelmanrsquos case
ldquoAs attorney general yoursquore not going to weigh in on everything Sometimes you have to give it to the deputy attorney generalrdquo he said ldquoYoursquore involved in so many situations and deci-sions that sometimes you have to delegate Personally though itrsquos troublingrdquo
Gonzales also addressed Alabamarsquos anti-immigration law commonly known as HB 56 and the recent Supreme Court decision invalidating many parts of a similar law
ldquoI donrsquot know a lot about Alabamarsquos immigration laws but I do think that our states are trying to appease their constituentsrdquo he said ldquoWhen you claim authority as the US Supreme Court has done in this case you also have responsibility to address the problems in another wayrdquo
Jonathan Thompson a masterrsquos student in educa-tion and history said he was impressed by Gonzalesrsquo demeanor in addressing the heated questions from
the audienceldquoI was slightly off
guard by the Siegelman questions but Irsquom glad they were askedrdquo Thompson said ldquoIt is just a dicey situ-ation still especially in the state of Alabama Gonzales did a great job at addressing themrdquo

The music world has been far too prolific over the past week or so to devote an entire 600 words to one artist or recording so herersquos some of the hippest stuff Irsquove been hearing
Grace PotterI want to be Grace Potter when
I grow up Or at the very least marry her That seems to be the consensus of 9723 percent of the folks Irsquove talked to about the Nocturnalsrsquo opening set for the Avett Brothers at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater last Thursday night
Grace and company drove through their allotted hour with reckless joyful abandon which is very much the par for their course These guys always seem so happy on stage Grace dances around in tune-induced scantily-clothed bliss while drummer Matt Burr beats the tubs without withholding a single tooth from view (The latter may follow from
its prime vantage point on the for-mer)
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals released a new album ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo in June 2012 but the performance was a solid mix as the old bookended the new
They kicked off the set with ldquoNothing But the Water (II)rdquo from the 2005 album of the same name a fun jam with several individual member-featuring solos that lent themselves perfectly to the intros Grace rolled out in concurrence with the song
Country-tinged ballads ldquoParachute Heartrdquo and ldquoStarsrdquo from the new record gave Grace the opportunity to show off her beautiful powerful vocal prowess ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo the albumrsquos title track sounded even more heavy and driving live But it was disappointing to hear the bandrsquos live use of digital sustain on Gracersquos voice at select points in the song ndash an effect a voice like hers just doesnrsquot require
All was forgiven when the band closed the set with ldquoParis (Ooh La
La)rdquo and ldquoMedicinerdquo two favor-ites from their eponymous 2010 album As has become the bandrsquos custom the end of ldquoMedicinerdquo turned into a group-wide drum-clobbering section a tremendous-ly pleasing gimmick the band will grow tired of long before the fans will
The Rolling StonesThe Rolling Stonesrsquo new single
is good Thatrsquos what I thought after I gave ldquoDoom and Gloomrdquo a listen Thursday morning when the band released the track as the first single from upcoming com-pilation album ldquoGRRRrdquo sched-uled for release on Nov 12 Then I listened to it again And another time after that The clicheacute stops there because I had somewhere to be but you better believe the tune was stuck in my head the rest of the day
Now that Irsquom approximately 86 listens in allow me to mod-ify my original evaluation the Rolling Stonesrsquo new single is deceivingly good

For student parents the issue of finding an affordable and available babysitter can be a daunting task
Between juggling school and raising a child many student par-ents simply do not have the time or resources to find a babysitter who meets their needs In response to this The University of Alabama created Sitters for Service an ini-tiative developed to provide parents with free babysitting services from student volunteer babysitters
Sitters for Service was devel-oped three and a half years ago to serve the 2000+ student parents on
campus Currently it serves 38 stu-dent families and provides them with access to 38 different sitters the highest quantity in the pro-gramrsquos history
ldquoThe program is the first of
its kind in the countryrdquo Cori Perdue work life manager for the University and program coordina-tor said ldquoWe now have two other universities that have contacted us about setting up similar programs on their campusesrdquo
The program is volunteer-based and student sitters can earn com-munity service hours by choosing the number of hours they would like to dedicate per semester Sitters can choose to serve 20 30 or 40 hours each semester For stu-dents like Alex Constantine the program has been an excellent way to get involved and give back to the community
ldquoI like that itrsquos a volunteer
program thatrsquos helping other UA students that maybe donrsquot have the time or money to get other babysit-ters It makes me feel good to help other students out because I know how hard the workload is and being a parent is a whole other responsi-bility on top of thatrdquo Constantine a junior majoring in elementary edu-cation said
Although the program is com-prised of sitters with a variety of majors many of the students par-ticipate in the program as a way to gain valuable experience in their fields of study and to apply their knowledge to real life situations
ldquoA lot of times the students are nursing majors or education majors
that are trying to get related experi-ence in their fieldsrdquo Perdue said
The program has been largely successful over the past few years in aiding student parents in their search for an appropriate babysit-ter Following the application and interview process all students must become CPR certified and then par-ticipate in a meet-and-greet session where all parents meet with each of the sitters to find which sitters best meet their needs This provides the parents with peace of mind in knowing that their babysitter is well qualified and a good match
Rachel Delevett a senior major-ing in human development and family studies is in her fourth
semester with the programldquoI think itrsquos a great way to give
back to the University as a wholerdquo Delevett said ldquoI like working with the parents because they are respectful of your time and under-stand that yoursquore a student and they are really grateful for the pro-gramrdquo
Students interested in volun-teering for the Sitters for Service program can find more infor-mation on the Graduate Parent Support website at wwwgpsuaedu Applications for the Spring 2013 semester are currently avail-able Students may also contact Cori Perdue work life manager at cperduefauaedu

Bama looks ahead to UF UGAVOLLEYBALL MENrsquoS GOLF
By Mary Grace ShowfetyStaff Reporter
Alabama volleyball will return to Foster Auditorium on Friday Oct 19 at 7 pm with a winning attitude
After what senior Kayla Fitterer called a solid week-end of play the Crimson Tide is ready to defend their home court by any means necessary
The Tide traveled to South Carolina on Friday where they were able to take the Gamecocks in four sets The final stop over the weekend was to Baton Rouge La where LSU battled
through four sets to victory over the Tide
Fitterer said both outcomes were a product of the way the Tide played
ldquoSouth Carolina was a really good win for usrdquo Fitterer said ldquoWe played really well and it showed With LSU we played well but we could have played better and had that urgency to finish We shouldrsquove won that fourth game ndash we were up and in the end we just let them sneak some points to winrdquo
Though the Tide is no stranger to tough competition the LSU match was especially
challengingJunior Andrea McQuaid
said the team expected a win because the last time the Tigers came to Tuscaloosa the Tide swept them
ldquoThey were firing on all cyl-inders because of how bad we beat them hererdquo McQuaid said ldquoThey were just out for revenge It was a catfight in warm-upsrdquo
Looking ahead to what should be a competition-filled weekend of play the Tide is confident in their abilities even with teams like Florida and Georgia on the ticket
Friday night the Tide will take on No 9 Florida who remains unbeaten in SEC play This will be the first meeting of the sea-son with the Gators
ldquoFlorida is a great teamrdquo McQuaid said ldquoOne thing that Irsquove learned in college sports is that no one is unbeatable At any given time an underdog can beat somebody Wersquore not expecting to lose any games this weekend as with any match We expect to win and wersquore going to give our best effortsrdquo
Head coach Ed Allen said Florida will be the Tidersquos tough-
est competition to dateldquoAlthough we felt like
Tennessee and Texas AampM were extremely competitive teams we think Florida is clearly the favorite to win the league at this pointrdquo Allen said
Sunday however will be a rematch between Alabama and Georgia The Tide traveled to Athens Ga in September for what turned out to be a heart-breaking loss in five sets
ldquoThe Georgia team we com-peted really hard against and we shouldrsquove pulled that out for a win but it will be a good gamerdquo Fitterer said ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here ready to win and we are toordquo
The Florida match comes at a special time in womenrsquos ath-letics at the Capstone Keeping with the tradition started by gymnastics head coach Sarah Patterson in 2004 Crimson Tide volleyball celebrates the Power of Pink Initiative
Power of Pink began as a gym-nastics team tradition in 2009 it spread to the entire womenrsquos athletic department as a way to spread breast cancer awareness in West Alabama
ldquoWersquore thrilled to be able to contribute a match this month for a cause that is significant-ly important and [that] has touched many of us already or will touch others in the coming yearsrdquo Allen said ldquoWersquore happy to help raise awareness raise funds and support a cause that is clearly worth supportingrdquo
CW Staff
In come-from-behind fashion the Alabama menrsquos golf team swept the medal-ist honors at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate played at the par-70 7204 yard Old Overton Golf Club
ldquoWe needed this winrdquo head coach Jay Seawell said following the round ldquoWe have been stumbling so Irsquom really proud It doesnrsquot matter how you do it I donrsquot think it was pret-ty Winning is always win-ning so that brings a lot of confidence and that is the part Irsquom proud of The guys have worked hard and hung in there Irsquom really proud of how they hung in all day longrdquo
Alabama found them-selves on the top of the team leaderboard at the end of the day on Tuesday after trailing for the previ-ous two rounds Shooting a team total of 2-over 282 Alabama defeated runner-up Florida by four strokes Auburn finished third with a 27-over 867 while UNLV took home fourth place
with a 28-over-par 868 Rounding out the top five Clemson carded a 54-hole total of 30-over 870
In the process sopho-more Justin Thomaswrapped up his fifth career win tying the schoolrecord for career wins with Steve Lowery Thomas has tied the record in 15 career tournaments played while Lowery won five career tournaments in 44 attempts
The win was Alabamarsquos fifth victory overall at the JPNI all coming in the last seven years Thomasrsquos indi-vidual win was the fifth in school history at the JPNI and the last since Hunter Hamrickrsquos win in 2009

Crimson Tide readies for trip to Neyland Stadium on SaturdayBy Alexis PaineStaff Reporter
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team will see famil-iar faces on the Tennessee Volunteer sideline as they take the field at Neyland Stadium this Saturday The Tide offense will go head-to-head with a defense coached by former Tide defen-sive coordinator Sal Sunseri who joined the Volunteer coaching staff before this sea-son Tide players will also com-pete against former teammate Darrington Sentimore who left the Tide in 2010 Linebacker CJ Mosley said it will be fun to see what his former teammate does on the opposite side of the field The junior also said it will not be weird to see Sunseri on the opposing teamrsquos sideline
ldquoIrsquom going to be too busy try-ing to stop the offenserdquo Mosley said ldquoHe was a great coach when he was here Irsquom pretty sure hersquos doing a great job there but my job is to focus on the offense and what theyrsquore going to dordquo
Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said he is not con-cerned about playing former members of the Tide and does not believe it will affect the team
ldquoYou gotta worry about you how you prepare for the game what you need to do to win the gamerdquo McCarron said
Rivalry changes little in practice
The historic Alabama-Tennessee rivalry did not pro-voke a change in this weekrsquos preparations in practice Mosley said The Tide has maintained
Bama needs to play at full potential to beat UTBy Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Another week has come and gone and with it another victory for the Crimson Tide Although a few injuries and a little damp weather stalled what was otherwise a well-oiled machine in Alabama the Tide still proved to show its superior talent with a 42-10 win over the Missouri Tigers
Again Alabama didnrsquot play to its full potential the entire game Still it was fairly obvi-ous it didnrsquot need to As a matter of fact in none of the games thus far this season has Alabama had to play up to its full potential to pull out a vic-tory
And while thatrsquos all fine and good it does present a particular problem that may meet the Tide down the road In fact itrsquoll meet the Crimson Tide at home in Bryant-Denny Stadium in about two weeks time ndash because that is when the now-undefeated Mississippi State Bulldogs come to town
Alabama will for the first time this season play a team that has not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them this year (If you donrsquot believe me look at teams like Michigan and Arkansas)
Thatrsquos not the end of it either The following week the Tide travels to Baton Rouge La to play not only one of the most talented teams in the nation but in one of the most ominous stadiums in the coun-try Thatrsquos a tall order by any-onersquos standards
Now Irsquom not saying Alabama
doesnrsquot have what it takes to go through that two-week stretch unscathed Itrsquos still my opinion that Alabama has the most talented well-coached team in the nation And when they play to their full potential they are nearly unstoppable
But herersquos the problem for the Tide to be unstoppable it has tohellip drum roll pleasehellip play up to its full potential Not for a portion of the game No it has to play lights out the entire game or at least the majority of it which is something the Tide has struggled with thus far this season
This is a team that hasnrsquot faced any real adversity so far ndash not really Thatrsquos great because it shows an accurate picture of how talented this team is it doesnrsquot have to play to its full potential to soundly beat someone (herersquos looking at you Mizzou)
But if Alabama doesnrsquot play up to its standards against a team like LSU or Mississippi State or (quite possibly) teams like Florida South Carolina or Georgia it may very well be put in a strenuous situation And thatrsquos where this season could be won or lost
If the Tide can play up to its full potential handling any and all adversity that comes its way Alabama may well be on its way to another incred-ible season But Alabama still has to prove it can overcome adversity and play to its stan-dards of play on both sides of the ball before fans can really start looking for No 15
Therersquos still a long way to go before all is said and done

the practice regimen that has allowed them success so far this year but has faced a more up-tempo pace Mosley said
ldquoAs a player yoursquove gotta be ready for a physical and tough practice because with Tennessee itrsquos a rivalryrdquo Mosley said ldquoThings will start boiling up and you have to be ready for those types of gamesrdquo
The Tide is prepared for the intensity of the fan base and the atmosphere they will enter when they take the field this weekend The players find the atmosphere of the rivalry fun and exciting
ldquoI like the intensityrdquo said right tackle DJ Fluker ldquoThat feeds me a little bit Coach Stoutland always says think of it as being a rock star out there and the crowd going crazy So it makes it fun for merdquo
McCarron ready to play despite injury rumors
Despite rumors that McCarron was suffering from a torn meniscus he has been present at practice this week Fluker said the quarterback has been taking practice one day at a time after sustaining a blow during last Saturdayrsquos game against Missouri The lineman said McCarron has been moving around well and the quarterbackrsquos hard work will allow him to bounce back quickly
McCarron said he was not worried about the severity of his injury during the game He listened to the trainers and was ready to get back on the field
ldquoI donrsquot like sitting outrdquo McCarron said ldquoI had to sit out when I was four from that wave runner wreck Thatrsquos the only year Irsquove ever missed I just donrsquot like missing playsrdquo
McCarron said the rumors surrounding his injury start-ed by a caller on the Paul Finebaum radio show are false

If any of you watched ESPN Filmrsquos ldquoBrokerdquo you know that over half of all professional football players go bankrupt three years after retiring from the NFL And keep in mind most of these retire-ments occur while these players are still in their twenties
Again if you watched this documenta-ry you probably immediately wondered how many of these football players were former Alabama students I wondered this as well but in the end the names do not matter What matters is that The University of Alabama takes a stand to help its current and prospective students ndash athlete or not ndash avoid financial ruin in the near future
No one wants to have insurmountable debt when they leave college but thatrsquos the fate many are faced with because of the necessity for student loans Still there is no reason to make the situation worse by adding more debt after you have graduated Living within your means or better yet living under your means is the best remedy to cure chronic debt
But unless you are encouraged and taught how to do this you will more than likely get into financial trouble So here are some suggestions that may help
First The University of Alabama should require that every student take some form of basic accounting or money management courses while enrolled
I know some people scoff at the word ldquorequirerdquo but letrsquos not act like this is calculus that you will never use again in your life ndash everyone needs and will use financial literacy skills
Furthermore this kind of course requirement should be implemented at the high school level as well If good hab-its are taught early they are more likely to be absorbed for the long haul
Second since the Crimson Tide will inevitably produce numerous NFL draft picks every single year all current foot-ball players need to learn how to keep from losing millions of dollars overnight No administrator or professor should be proud to say they were the reason a former player blew all of his millions on happy hour at Applebeersquos
Lastly these actions need to be imple-mented quickly Every second that is wasted giving lip service another UA graduate gets a mortgage they canrsquot afford a car they canrsquot pay for and so on and so forth Letrsquos stop the apathy right now
For the record Irsquom all for Auburn alum-ni going completely and totally bankrupt ndash especially if his or her name begins with Cam and ends in Newton

Over the past two weeks this newspa-per has reported extensively on the atmo-sphere of our Universityrsquos greek system ndash the largest in the nation ndash uncovering and exposing troubling aspects of such an integral element of our student life
With a simple email to University and state administrators detailing discon-tentment among some potential new greek organization members our cam-pus is suddenly awash in conversation about the Universityrsquos most taboo topic ndash greek pledgeship But this time it doesnrsquot look like itrsquos going away any time soon
Itrsquos easy for us to initially be skeptical of whistleblowers They are by defini-tion alleging serious wrongdoing within established hierarchies and their claims make us face uncomfortable realities But we should never mistake their hon-esty and commitment to the moral good with cowardice for not following the crowd
Although it is very likely that these anonymous students may never publicly come forward they should take comfort in representing and speaking for the thousands of students who feel silenced on a daily basis by corrupt systems of power that are allowed to perpetuate on our campus
As a columnist I am given the oppor-tunity to write about any topic I wish in this space every Wednesday However I have no control over any content ndash other than my own ndash that is published in these pages allowing me to both participate in and comment on the paper from a quasi-external point of view
I must say Irsquom extremely proud of this newspaperrsquos coverage of these develop-ments in the greek system In every area of its coverage the reporters and edi-tors have been tough direct and deter-mined to get to the bottom of the story Mondayrsquos and Tuesdayrsquos editorial board op-eds were spot on giving light to tough issues and raising pertinent questions about the real nature of our campus and student body
With the lengthy allegations of hazing detailed in Tuesdayrsquos paper the burden is now placed on the administration to end the detrimental traditions that our greek system has held on to for far too long The thoroughly corroborated details of the hazing incidents by the students should be enough of a spark for administrators to begin the process of change
In many ways the administration should want this type of attention to be
devoted to outdated aspects of greek life With four of the six students sent to DCH for alcohol poisoning this semester belonging to greek organizations this is no longer an issue of simply looking the other way for the eight weeks of fraterni-ty pledgeship This is no longer an issue that major donors can essentially hold over the Universityrsquos head This is about the safety and welfare of our youngest students upholding the promise we made to make them better and focusing on the legacy ndash the example ndash that we leave behind
But in the midst of all the attention being placed on the anonymous stu-dents we should be focusing on holding accountable the students who were elect-ed to lead our greek system Neither the Interfraternity Council nor Panhellenic Association has commented on the haz-ing allegations They have offered no plans to prevent the same type of alleged hazing from occurring on campus tonight They know better than anyone that these incidents happen often yet they do nothing to correct the problem
These same leaders seem to always be the first to tell us about a new concert they are sponsoring or philanthropy we can give money to but when we need real leadership and bold guidance to move our University forward they are nowhere to be found Where are these leaders Why do they remain silent
No greek student could have been shocked by yesterdayrsquos headline We know what happens and how it happens The true question is how much longer we will continue to hang on by a thread and when our community as a whole will come to the realization that the status quo just isnrsquot working
In many ways and for many reasons ndash not particularly positive ndash we have accepted our culture despite its many flaws Wersquove grown complacent lethar-gic and unmotivated Perhaps this spark is just what we needed

With issue raised fraternity leaders must address hazing
By Henry DownesStaff Columnist
The Collar family of Wetumpka Ala is mourning the loss of their son Gil this week after the freshman was gunned down by a campus police officer at the University of South Alabama on Oct 6
There is an ongoing investigation examining the decision by Trevis Austin the campus police officer involved to use lethal force in the situation We should be careful in these early stages to remember that criminal suspects are innocent until proven guilty in this coun-try Since all the facts have not yet been released it is only fair to wait for the due process of the law to bring charges and a conviction ndash if necessary ndash before we condemn
Still thanks to a video of the incident released to the media last week there is a fair amount of information we are able to know about the shooting
We know that Collar was tripping on LSD at the time As a result he clearly was in an altered state of mind as he approached the police station that eve-ning he was naked and began pounding on the window of the station The fact that Collar wasnrsquot clothed seems impor-tant in evaluating Austinrsquos decision to use lethal force here Even though Collar could not have possibly been armed Austin still approached Collar with his gun drawn
We know that Collar was 18 years old
and only 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds Austin by comparison is 27 trained to use ldquoempty-handed submission techniquesrdquo (ie physical force) and stands over 6 feet tall LSD or not there are some ques-tions as to why Austin chose to use any weapon at all ndash lethal or non-lethal ndash in this situation
We know that Austin shot Collar only once to the chest Not the hand arm shoulder foot or leg ndash but the chest where the heart and lungs are located He shot to kill and it proved to be a fatal wound
Finally we know that by and large the national news media doesnrsquot really care about this Most air-time and print devoted to the incident has come from local stations and newspapers in Mobile Montgomery or Birmingham
This is clearly a massive departure from the national media firestorm precipitated by the shooting of teen Trayvon Martin by security guard George Zimmerman last February
In that case the media was appall-ingly quick to condemn Zimmerman which was confusing since the facts were even more obscure than the Collar shooting And although no video exists for that incident convincing evidence shows that Martin however harrassed by Zimmerman was the physical antag-onist
In the Martin case which is still in the midst of court proceedings everyone from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
to President Obama was quick to enter the fray seizing a delicate and tragic situation in order to score political points They painted Martinrsquos shooting as a racial event a hate crime despite a complete lack of evidence for any racially biased motive The outpouring of support for the Martin family paled in comparison to the racist vitriol spewed at Zimmerman the New Black Panthers offered a $10000 reward for the ldquocap-turerdquo of Zimmerman
Factually the two cases are compa-rable ndash in either case a low-level law enforcement officer used lethal force to diffuse an ambiguous (at best) situation So why was the public outcry so very different
I would hate to think the media uproar was so extreme because Martin was black Why should skin color influence our level of interest in the shooting of a teen Why is society so quick to point the finger and play the ldquorace cardrdquo
Both Martin and Collar were by all accounts good and happy kids Their lives met a tragic end because of the questionable actions taken by armed men with authority indoctrinated in the police gun culture Yes Martin was black and Collar was white but they were both victims of regrettable violence and died unnecessary deaths Those are the only facts that matter to me

South Alabama shooting forces us to look at media bias question law enforcement
By Tara MassoulehStaff Columnist
I study on Sunday afternoons So the other day as I stared dully at my dimly lit computer screen struggling to remem-ber what was so important about the Rule of Thirds in photojournalism I was looking for any excuse to take a break from reading and rereading my carefully taken notes
My first distraction came from the lyr-ics to the background music I had stream-ing from my extensive iTunes library
ldquoDonrsquot get stuck in the meantime Therersquos no such thing as the meantimerdquo
After hearing this bit of wisdom from the Louisiana-based indie rock band Givers I could only think of it as a chal-lenge ndash a challenge not only to me but to everyone
American culture dictates that we all constantly look to the future for progress and new opportunity We reject history and run from our past in the hopes of embracing our own uniquely crafted highly idealistic future ndash an image shrouded in romanticism As citizens of a relatively young nation Americans con-stantly have their eyes fixed somewhere in the distant future just beyond the hori-zon of today This is where the idea of the
ldquomeantimerdquo comes inOften we are so concerned with what
is to come that we forget about the pres-ent We have effectively all become stuck in the ldquomeantimerdquo ndash the awkward limbo between what is past and what is to come Itrsquos that uncomfortable window of time when yoursquove arrived at a party just a little too early and yoursquore stuck waiting for more people to show up for someone to cut through the blaring silence for things to finally begin And this is pre-cisely how we live our lives ndash eternally perched on the edge of our seats waiting for it to start
From the time we first learn to speak we are prompted with the question of what we want to be when we grow up eliciting adorably innocent answers such as rock star president and superhero And by the age of 10 we are all filling out worksheets asking us questions about where we see ourselves in 5 10 and 20 years
When you think about it this seems like some pretty heavy stuff for young children to be worrying about
These two examples provide an unex-pectedly poignant insight into the foun-dation of American society that has got us all looking ahead
But in the quintessentially American
fashion of paradox we are also constant-ly being bombarded with catchy phrases and clicheacutes that remind us to live for the now ldquoCarpe diemrdquo the highly overused phrase championed in the cult-classic ldquoDead Poets Society rdquo may have evolved into ldquoYOLOrdquo but these are all just differ-ent names for the same thing
Itrsquos as if we are being stretched in two ways by two equal opposing forc-es While one side reminds us that we must prepare for our future and think about the potential consequences of our actions the other counters telling us our time is limited ndash when we stop thinking and start doing we truly experience life
Ultimately like many things in life the only way to approach the central para-dox of how to live is to obtain a healthy balance Human nature calls for us to seek improvement so while wersquore grasp-ing for the wondrously illusive green light symbolizing the eternal American Dream mentioned in Fitzgeraldrsquos ldquoThe Great Gatsbyrdquo we should also take care to make sure that we are not unknowingly getting ourselves stuck in the meantime

Student organizations will have direct access to the Student Government Association through a new program offering monthly meetings between orga-nization representatives and SGA members
The SGA Delegates Program organized under the Office of Engagement offers student organizations the opportunity to assign two members the role of delegates Delegates will meet monthly with SGA officials to communicate about organization plans for the current and upcoming semesters
During these meetings delegates will have the opportunity to seek help from the SGA regarding financial support and con-nections to other organiza-tions on campus
Morgan Mullen presi-dent of Resonance Show Choir said she thinks the Delegates Program will benefit organizations that are not typically centered on campus
ldquoI know our group can sometimes feel disconnected from the central flow of the Universityrdquo she said ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel more connected on campus We would benefit greatly from more people knowing about our existencerdquo
Planned to launch later this year the Delegates Program began as an
additional outlet for stu-dents to share their ideas with and effectively seek out support from the SGA Matt Calderone SGA presi-dent and Chase Burnham SGA director of engagement were integral in creating the program
ldquoDeveloping a program where students could more effectively have their voices heard in the political process on campus was a major plat-form of Mattrsquos campaignrdquo he said ldquoUpon my appoint-ment as SGA director of engagement our office took that idea and did everything in our power to develop a program that gives every student organization on campus a seat at the table With UA Delegates wersquore hoping to bring together the diverse range of stu-dents on this campus in order to have a more posi-tive impact on the campus as a wholerdquo
All organizations are eligible to appoint a junior andor senior del-egate for regular meetings with the SGA The junior delegate can be any new member within the organi-zation and the senior del-egate can be any returning
member No class restric-tions apply in order to par-ticipate as either level dele-gate meaning any organiza-tion member from freshman through senior standing could hold either or both positions for any given orga-nization
Meagan Bryant SGA exec-utive press secretary said the SGA hopes organiza-tions will use the Delegates Program to become educat-ed on available resources
ldquoOf the funds allocated in last yearrsquos budget for the same purpose $45000 went unclaimed by student orga-nizations for reimburse-ment or financial supportrdquo she said ldquoUA Delegates will help to prevent this from happening again by ensuring sufficient communication is occurring between SGA offi-cials and on-campus organi-zationsrdquo
Interested delegates can apply by filling out a form via a brochure dis-tributed to each organiza-tion Applicants can pick up forms from the SGA office download the brochure from the SGA website or send an email to the SGA Engagement account at uadelegatesgmailcom

SGA creates program for student group delegates
By Angie BarteltContributing Writer
Although The University of Alabama offers several pub-lishing outlets to students the Dewpoint Literary Journal specializes in poetry prose and critical writing for which they have received national recogni-tion
Dewpoint is run by the Phi Xi chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society Phi Xi works with the English and creative writing depart-ments with a goal of publishing the creative works on campus and is open to all undergradu-ate students This year marks Dewpointrsquos third year to pub-lish at the University
The student journal was awarded the second-place national prize for Most Outstanding Literary Journal for 2011-2012 from Sigma Tau Delta The publication was not eligible for an award last spring semester however because of their award the previous fall This semesterrsquos publication will be their first chance at a second national award
Dewpoint publications are
divided into three main sec-tions poetry prose and critical writing Some of the previous Dewpoint issues also included space for submitted art ndash a fac-tor that may be left out of the newest publication A graphic novel may also be included instead of or possibly in addi-tion to art
Last yearrsquos journal was published through Borgo Publishing a company current Dewpoint staff hope to contin-ue working with
Besides aesthetic changes to the physical journal Dewpoint hopes to expand to universi-ties across the state and the Southeast
ldquoIt is a new big idea to take this project and make it more than UA this yearrdquo Joey Gamble poetry editor of Dewpoint said ldquoThat way we would have a larger submis-sion pool for undergraduates this year We could possibly include either universities in the Southeast or just in Alabama The original founda-tion for Dewpoint was an out-let for publication here at UA so if we move away from our original position it will be a lot
more work but it could expand our legitimacy and help our longevity in our projectsrdquo
The extension of Dewpoint would bring more opportuni-ties for aspiring writers and poets to get published and cre-ate an avenue for other schools that do not have the same publi-cation opportunities as a major university to have a chance at national recognition
ldquoWe won this award at con-vention which adds something special to being a part of itrdquo Nadia Barksdale the journalrsquos design editor said ldquoExpanding could bring our work to a higher levelrdquo
Dewpoint staff members agree that incorporating opin-ions that differ throughout the region into the publication could improve the status of the journal
ldquoOur main purpose to state to our readers is that this is Alabama and we hope to rede-fine what it means to be an Alabama writer todayrdquo Shea Stripling the journalrsquos editor-in-chief said
Dewpoint accepts staff mem-bers and submissions from the entire UA student body
ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel
more connected on campus

Gonzales discuss Siegelman Alabama immigration law
Gonzales pointed to the many issues that he faced as attorney general as a reason for not having more to contribute about Siegelmanrsquos case
ldquoAs attorney general yoursquore not going to weigh in on everything Sometimes you have to give it to the deputy attorney generalrdquo he said ldquoYoursquore involved in so many situations and deci-sions that sometimes you have to delegate Personally though itrsquos troublingrdquo
Gonzales also addressed Alabamarsquos anti-immigration law commonly known as HB 56 and the recent Supreme Court decision invalidating many parts of a similar law
ldquoI donrsquot know a lot about Alabamarsquos immigration laws but I do think that our states are trying to appease their constituentsrdquo he said ldquoWhen you claim authority as the US Supreme Court has done in this case you also have responsibility to address the problems in another wayrdquo
Jonathan Thompson a masterrsquos student in educa-tion and history said he was impressed by Gonzalesrsquo demeanor in addressing the heated questions from
the audienceldquoI was slightly off
guard by the Siegelman questions but Irsquom glad they were askedrdquo Thompson said ldquoIt is just a dicey situ-ation still especially in the state of Alabama Gonzales did a great job at addressing themrdquo
Joseph Siegelman said although he was nervous he was glad to have an oppor-tunity to address some of the issues surrounding his fatherrsquos trial and conviction
ldquoI was certainly intimidat-ed mdash hersquos the former attor-ney general of the United Statesrdquo he said ldquoWe see a glimmer of hope wersquore just working to make that a little biggerrdquo

The music world has been far too prolific over the past week or so to devote an entire 600 words to one artist or recording so herersquos some of the hippest stuff Irsquove been hearing
Grace PotterI want to be Grace Potter when
I grow up Or at the very least marry her That seems to be the consensus of 9723 percent of the folks Irsquove talked to about the Nocturnalsrsquo opening set for the Avett Brothers at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater last Thursday night
Grace and company drove through their allotted hour with reckless joyful abandon which is very much the par for their course These guys always seem so happy on stage Grace dances around in tune-induced scantily-clothed bliss while drummer Matt Burr beats the tubs without withholding a single tooth from view (The latter may follow from
its prime vantage point on the for-mer)
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals released a new album ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo in June 2012 but the performance was a solid mix as the old bookended the new
They kicked off the set with ldquoNothing But the Water (II)rdquo from the 2005 album of the same name a fun jam with several individual member-featuring solos that lent themselves perfectly to the intros Grace rolled out in concurrence with the song
Country-tinged ballads ldquoParachute Heartrdquo and ldquoStarsrdquo from the new record gave Grace the opportunity to show off her beautiful powerful vocal prowess ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo the albumrsquos title track sounded even more heavy and driving live But it was disappointing to hear the bandrsquos live use of digital sustain on Gracersquos voice at select points in the song ndash an effect a voice like hers just doesnrsquot require
All was forgiven when the band closed the set with ldquoParis (Ooh La
La)rdquo and ldquoMedicinerdquo two favor-ites from their eponymous 2010 album As has become the bandrsquos custom the end of ldquoMedicinerdquo turned into a group-wide drum-clobbering section a tremendous-ly pleasing gimmick the band will grow tired of long before the fans will
The Rolling StonesThe Rolling Stonesrsquo new single
is good Thatrsquos what I thought after I gave ldquoDoom and Gloomrdquo a listen Thursday morning when the band released the track as the first single from upcoming com-pilation album ldquoGRRRrdquo sched-uled for release on Nov 12 Then I listened to it again And another time after that The clicheacute stops there because I had somewhere to be but you better believe the tune was stuck in my head the rest of the day
Now that Irsquom approximately 86 listens in allow me to mod-ify my original evaluation the Rolling Stonesrsquo new single is deceivingly good

Creative Campus is in the development stages of a do-it-yourself series that will allow student art making and hands on projects through interactive events
ldquoPart of Creative Campusrsquos objective is to spread artistic diversity throughout the UA campusrdquo Shiori Ito Creative Campus intern and leader of DIY UA said
Each week will have a differ-ent DIY focus and the events will be held bi-weekly through-out the school year Although the project is not fully off the ground yet the first session will begin Nov 13 from 6 to 7 pm
ldquoCreative Campus is designed
to connect people while turning innovative ideas into actionrdquo Katherine Howard one of the students working on the proj-ect said ldquoIn many ways this is DIY UArsquos goalrdquo
The first session will be a tutorial teaching students basic knitting skills and the second will be an overview of candle making Both sessions will be held in Maxwell Hall the Creative Campus building
ldquoWe also want to start a Cooking in the Dorms video series where students teach students how to cook simple and chap dishes that donrsquot require many supplies or much equipmentrdquo Howard said
The club requires no monthly or annual dues Students may be required to bring some of
their own materials but other materials will be provided by DIY UA
Information about the proj-ects and materials will be pro-vided in a monthly newslet-ter and the same information will be posted on the Creative Campus website Details of what to bring what will be pro-vided and where students wish-ing to participate can purchase materials for the lowest cost will be provided in the newslet-ter

For student parents the issue of finding an affordable and available babysitter can be a daunting task
Between juggling school and raising a child many student par-ents simply do not have the time or resources to find a babysitter who meets their needs In response to this The University of Alabama created Sitters for Service an ini-tiative developed to provide parents with free babysitting services from student volunteer babysitters
Sitters for Service was devel-oped three and a half years ago to serve the 2000+ student parents on
campus Currently it serves 38 stu-dent families and provides them with access to 38 different sitters the highest quantity in the pro-gramrsquos history
ldquoThe program is the first of
its kind in the countryrdquo Cori Perdue work life manager for the University and program coordina-tor said ldquoWe now have two other universities that have contacted us about setting up similar programs on their campusesrdquo
The program is volunteer-based and student sitters can earn com-munity service hours by choosing the number of hours they would like to dedicate per semester Sitters can choose to serve 20 30 or 40 hours each semester For stu-dents like Alex Constantine the program has been an excellent way to get involved and give back to the community
ldquoI like that itrsquos a volunteer
program thatrsquos helping other UA students that maybe donrsquot have the time or money to get other babysit-ters It makes me feel good to help other students out because I know how hard the workload is and being a parent is a whole other responsi-bility on top of thatrdquo Constantine a junior majoring in elementary edu-cation said
Although the program is com-prised of sitters with a variety of majors many of the students par-ticipate in the program as a way to gain valuable experience in their fields of study and to apply their knowledge to real life situations
ldquoA lot of times the students are nursing majors or education majors
that are trying to get related experi-ence in their fieldsrdquo Perdue said
The program has been largely successful over the past few years in aiding student parents in their search for an appropriate babysit-ter Following the application and interview process all students must become CPR certified and then par-ticipate in a meet-and-greet session where all parents meet with each of the sitters to find which sitters best meet their needs This provides the parents with peace of mind in knowing that their babysitter is well qualified and a good match
Rachel Delevett a senior major-ing in human development and family studies is in her fourth
semester with the programldquoI think itrsquos a great way to give
back to the University as a wholerdquo Delevett said ldquoI like working with the parents because they are respectful of your time and under-stand that yoursquore a student and they are really grateful for the pro-gramrdquo
Students interested in volun-teering for the Sitters for Service program can find more infor-mation on the Graduate Parent Support website at wwwgpsuaedu Applications for the Spring 2013 semester are currently avail-able Students may also contact Cori Perdue work life manager at cperduefauaedu

Except in South Africa where he became a Bob Dylan-caliber poet-laureate for the downtrod-den and working class Nobody thought to tell Rodriguez about his hero status however so he worked as a day laborer in Detroit until his daughter discovered
his fame in the late 1990s and he performed a string of concerts in the country
His scratchy voice and poignant lyrics make the Dylan compari-son an easy one but Rodriguez is more than a novelty copycat act His sound is pleasing a synthesis of the disquiet you see in Dylan the yearning you hear in Van Morrison and that weird beauti-ful suggestion of physical space you feel in the Moody Blues The phrasing and edge of Rodriguezrsquos words in ldquoHate Street Dialoguerdquo from 1970rsquos ldquoCold Factrdquo always reminds me of Deep Purplersquos Ian Anderson

Bama looks ahead to UF UGAVOLLEYBALL MENrsquoS GOLF
By Mary Grace ShowfetyStaff Reporter
Alabama volleyball will return to Foster Auditorium on Friday Oct 19 at 7 pm with a winning attitude
After what senior Kayla Fitterer called a solid week-end of play the Crimson Tide is ready to defend their home court by any means necessary
The Tide traveled to South Carolina on Friday where they were able to take the Gamecocks in four sets The final stop over the weekend was to Baton Rouge La where LSU battled
through four sets to victory over the Tide
Fitterer said both outcomes were a product of the way the Tide played
ldquoSouth Carolina was a really good win for usrdquo Fitterer said ldquoWe played really well and it showed With LSU we played well but we could have played better and had that urgency to finish We shouldrsquove won that fourth game ndash we were up and in the end we just let them sneak some points to winrdquo
Though the Tide is no stranger to tough competition the LSU match was especially
challengingJunior Andrea McQuaid
said the team expected a win because the last time the Tigers came to Tuscaloosa the Tide swept them
ldquoThey were firing on all cyl-inders because of how bad we beat them hererdquo McQuaid said ldquoThey were just out for revenge It was a catfight in warm-upsrdquo
Looking ahead to what should be a competition-filled weekend of play the Tide is confident in their abilities even with teams like Florida and Georgia on the ticket
Friday night the Tide will take on No 9 Florida who remains unbeaten in SEC play This will be the first meeting of the sea-son with the Gators
ldquoFlorida is a great teamrdquo McQuaid said ldquoOne thing that Irsquove learned in college sports is that no one is unbeatable At any given time an underdog can beat somebody Wersquore not expecting to lose any games this weekend as with any match We expect to win and wersquore going to give our best effortsrdquo
Head coach Ed Allen said Florida will be the Tidersquos tough-
est competition to dateldquoAlthough we felt like
Tennessee and Texas AampM were extremely competitive teams we think Florida is clearly the favorite to win the league at this pointrdquo Allen said
Sunday however will be a rematch between Alabama and Georgia The Tide traveled to Athens Ga in September for what turned out to be a heart-breaking loss in five sets
ldquoThe Georgia team we com-peted really hard against and we shouldrsquove pulled that out for a win but it will be a good gamerdquo Fitterer said ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here ready to win and we are toordquo
The Florida match comes at a special time in womenrsquos ath-letics at the Capstone Keeping with the tradition started by gymnastics head coach Sarah Patterson in 2004 Crimson Tide volleyball celebrates the Power of Pink Initiative
Power of Pink began as a gym-nastics team tradition in 2009 it spread to the entire womenrsquos athletic department as a way to spread breast cancer awareness in West Alabama
ldquoWersquore thrilled to be able to contribute a match this month for a cause that is significant-ly important and [that] has touched many of us already or will touch others in the coming yearsrdquo Allen said ldquoWersquore happy to help raise awareness raise funds and support a cause that is clearly worth supportingrdquo

In come-from-behind fashion the Alabama menrsquos golf team swept the medal-ist honors at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate played at the par-70 7204 yard Old Overton Golf Club
ldquoWe needed this winrdquo head coach Jay Seawell said following the round ldquoWe have been stumbling so Irsquom really proud It doesnrsquot matter how you do it I donrsquot think it was pret-ty Winning is always win-ning so that brings a lot of confidence and that is the part Irsquom proud of The guys have worked hard and hung in there Irsquom really proud of how they hung in all day longrdquo
Alabama found them-selves on the top of the team leaderboard at the end of the day on Tuesday after trailing for the previ-ous two rounds Shooting a team total of 2-over 282 Alabama defeated runner-up Florida by four strokes Auburn finished third with a 27-over 867 while UNLV took home fourth place

Crimson Tide readies for trip to Neyland Stadium on SaturdayBy Alexis PaineStaff Reporter
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team will see famil-iar faces on the Tennessee Volunteer sideline as they take the field at Neyland Stadium this Saturday The Tide offense will go head-to-head with a defense coached by former Tide defen-sive coordinator Sal Sunseri who joined the Volunteer coaching staff before this sea-son Tide players will also com-pete against former teammate Darrington Sentimore who left the Tide in 2010 Linebacker CJ Mosley said it will be fun to see what his former teammate does on the opposite side of the field The junior also said it will not be weird to see Sunseri on the opposing teamrsquos sideline
ldquoIrsquom going to be too busy try-ing to stop the offenserdquo Mosley said ldquoHe was a great coach when he was here Irsquom pretty sure hersquos doing a great job there but my job is to focus on the offense and what theyrsquore going to dordquo
Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said he is not con-cerned about playing former members of the Tide and does not believe it will affect the team
ldquoYou gotta worry about you how you prepare for the game what you need to do to win the gamerdquo McCarron said
Rivalry changes little in practice
The historic Alabama-Tennessee rivalry did not pro-voke a change in this weekrsquos preparations in practice Mosley said The Tide has maintained
Bama needs to play at full potential to beat UTBy Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Another week has come and gone and with it another victory for the Crimson Tide Although a few injuries and a little damp weather stalled what was otherwise a well-oiled machine in Alabama the Tide still proved to show its superior talent with a 42-10 win over the Missouri Tigers
Again Alabama didnrsquot play to its full potential the entire game Still it was fairly obvi-ous it didnrsquot need to As a matter of fact in none of the games thus far this season has Alabama had to play up to its full potential to pull out a vic-tory
And while thatrsquos all fine and good it does present a particular problem that may meet the Tide down the road In fact itrsquoll meet the Crimson Tide at home in Bryant-Denny Stadium in about two weeks time ndash because that is when the now-undefeated Mississippi State Bulldogs come to town
Alabama will for the first time this season play a team that has not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them this year (If you donrsquot believe me look at teams like Michigan and Arkansas)
Thatrsquos not the end of it either The following week the Tide travels to Baton Rouge La to play not only one of the most talented teams in the nation but in one of the most ominous stadiums in the coun-try Thatrsquos a tall order by any-onersquos standards
Now Irsquom not saying Alabama
doesnrsquot have what it takes to go through that two-week stretch unscathed Itrsquos still my opinion that Alabama has the most talented well-coached team in the nation And when they play to their full potential they are nearly unstoppable
But herersquos the problem for the Tide to be unstoppable it has tohellip drum roll pleasehellip play up to its full potential Not for a portion of the game No it has to play lights out the entire game or at least the majority of it which is something the Tide has struggled with thus far this season
This is a team that hasnrsquot faced any real adversity so far ndash not really Thatrsquos great because it shows an accurate picture of how talented this team is it doesnrsquot have to play to its full potential to soundly beat someone (herersquos looking at you Mizzou)
But if Alabama doesnrsquot play up to its standards against a team like LSU or Mississippi State or (quite possibly) teams like Florida South Carolina or Georgia it may very well be put in a strenuous situation And thatrsquos where this season could be won or lost
If the Tide can play up to its full potential handling any and all adversity that comes its way Alabama may well be on its way to another incred-ible season But Alabama still has to prove it can overcome adversity and play to its stan-dards of play on both sides of the ball before fans can really start looking for No 15
Therersquos still a long way to go before all is said and done

the practice regimen that has allowed them success so far this year but has faced a more up-tempo pace Mosley said
ldquoAs a player yoursquove gotta be ready for a physical and tough practice because with Tennessee itrsquos a rivalryrdquo Mosley said ldquoThings will start boiling up and you have to be ready for those types of gamesrdquo
The Tide is prepared for the intensity of the fan base and the atmosphere they will enter when they take the field this weekend The players find the atmosphere of the rivalry fun and exciting
ldquoI like the intensityrdquo said right tackle DJ Fluker ldquoThat feeds me a little bit Coach Stoutland always says think of it as being a rock star out there and the crowd going crazy So it makes it fun for merdquo
McCarron ready to play despite injury rumors
Despite rumors that McCarron was suffering from a torn meniscus he has been present at practice this week Fluker said the quarterback has been taking practice one day at a time after sustaining a blow during last Saturdayrsquos game against Missouri The lineman said McCarron has been moving around well and the quarterbackrsquos hard work will allow him to bounce back quickly
McCarron said he was not worried about the severity of his injury during the game He listened to the trainers and was ready to get back on the field
ldquoI donrsquot like sitting outrdquo McCarron said ldquoI had to sit out when I was four from that wave runner wreck Thatrsquos the only year Irsquove ever missed I just donrsquot like missing playsrdquo
McCarron said the rumors surrounding his injury start-ed by a caller on the Paul Finebaum radio show are false

Student organizations will have direct access to the Student Government Association through a new program offering monthly meetings between orga-nization representatives and SGA members
The SGA Delegates Program organized under the Office of Engagement offers student organizations the opportunity to assign two members the role of delegates Delegates will meet monthly with SGA officials to communicate about organization plans for the current and upcoming semesters
During these meetings delegates will have the opportunity to seek help from the SGA regarding financial support and con-nections to other organiza-tions on campus
Morgan Mullen presi-dent of Resonance Show Choir said she thinks the Delegates Program will benefit organizations that are not typically centered on campus
ldquoI know our group can sometimes feel disconnected from the central flow of the Universityrdquo she said ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel more connected on campus We would benefit greatly from more people knowing about our existencerdquo
Planned to launch later this year the Delegates Program began as an
additional outlet for stu-dents to share their ideas with and effectively seek out support from the SGA Matt Calderone SGA presi-dent and Chase Burnham SGA director of engagement were integral in creating the program
ldquoDeveloping a program where students could more effectively have their voices heard in the political process on campus was a major plat-form of Mattrsquos campaignrdquo he said ldquoUpon my appoint-ment as SGA director of engagement our office took that idea and did everything in our power to develop a program that gives every student organization on campus a seat at the table With UA Delegates wersquore hoping to bring together the diverse range of stu-dents on this campus in order to have a more posi-tive impact on the campus as a wholerdquo
All organizations are eligible to appoint a junior andor senior del-egate for regular meetings with the SGA The junior delegate can be any new member within the organi-zation and the senior del-egate can be any returning
member No class restric-tions apply in order to par-ticipate as either level dele-gate meaning any organiza-tion member from freshman through senior standing could hold either or both positions for any given orga-nization
Meagan Bryant SGA exec-utive press secretary said the SGA hopes organiza-tions will use the Delegates Program to become educat-ed on available resources
ldquoOf the funds allocated in last yearrsquos budget for the same purpose $45000 went unclaimed by student orga-nizations for reimburse-ment or financial supportrdquo she said ldquoUA Delegates will help to prevent this from happening again by ensuring sufficient communication is occurring between SGA offi-cials and on-campus organi-zationsrdquo
Interested delegates can apply by filling out a form via a brochure dis-tributed to each organiza-tion Applicants can pick up forms from the SGA office download the brochure from the SGA website or send an email to the SGA Engagement account at uadelegatesgmailcom

SGA creates program for student group delegates
By Angie BarteltContributing Writer
Although The University of Alabama offers several pub-lishing outlets to students the Dewpoint Literary Journal specializes in poetry prose and critical writing for which they have received national recogni-tion
Dewpoint is run by the Phi Xi chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society Phi Xi works with the English and creative writing depart-ments with a goal of publishing the creative works on campus and is open to all undergradu-ate students This year marks Dewpointrsquos third year to pub-lish at the University
The student journal was awarded the second-place national prize for Most Outstanding Literary Journal for 2011-2012 from Sigma Tau Delta The publication was not eligible for an award last spring semester however because of their award the previous fall This semesterrsquos publication will be their first chance at a second national award
Dewpoint publications are
divided into three main sec-tions poetry prose and critical writing Some of the previous Dewpoint issues also included space for submitted art ndash a fac-tor that may be left out of the newest publication A graphic novel may also be included instead of or possibly in addi-tion to art
Last yearrsquos journal was published through Borgo Publishing a company current Dewpoint staff hope to contin-ue working with
Besides aesthetic changes to the physical journal Dewpoint hopes to expand to universi-ties across the state and the Southeast
ldquoIt is a new big idea to take this project and make it more than UA this yearrdquo Joey Gamble poetry editor of Dewpoint said ldquoThat way we would have a larger submis-sion pool for undergraduates this year We could possibly include either universities in the Southeast or just in Alabama The original founda-tion for Dewpoint was an out-let for publication here at UA so if we move away from our original position it will be a lot
more work but it could expand our legitimacy and help our longevity in our projectsrdquo
The extension of Dewpoint would bring more opportuni-ties for aspiring writers and poets to get published and cre-ate an avenue for other schools that do not have the same publi-cation opportunities as a major university to have a chance at national recognition
ldquoWe won this award at con-vention which adds something special to being a part of itrdquo Nadia Barksdale the journalrsquos design editor said ldquoExpanding could bring our work to a higher levelrdquo
Dewpoint staff members agree that incorporating opin-ions that differ throughout the region into the publication could improve the status of the journal
ldquoOur main purpose to state to our readers is that this is Alabama and we hope to rede-fine what it means to be an Alabama writer todayrdquo Shea Stripling the journalrsquos editor-in-chief said
Dewpoint accepts staff mem-bers and submissions from the entire UA student body
ldquoBeing able to communicate freely with the SGA would help us feel
more connected on campus

Gonzales discuss Siegelman Alabama immigration law
Gonzales pointed to the many issues that he faced as attorney general as a reason for not having more to contribute about Siegelmanrsquos case
ldquoAs attorney general yoursquore not going to weigh in on everything Sometimes you have to give it to the deputy attorney generalrdquo he said ldquoYoursquore involved in so many situations and deci-sions that sometimes you have to delegate Personally though itrsquos troublingrdquo
Gonzales also addressed Alabamarsquos anti-immigration law commonly known as HB 56 and the recent Supreme Court decision invalidating many parts of a similar law
ldquoI donrsquot know a lot about Alabamarsquos immigration laws but I do think that our states are trying to appease their constituentsrdquo he said ldquoWhen you claim authority as the US Supreme Court has done in this case you also have responsibility to address the problems in another wayrdquo
Jonathan Thompson a masterrsquos student in educa-tion and history said he was impressed by Gonzalesrsquo demeanor in addressing the heated questions from
the audienceldquoI was slightly off
guard by the Siegelman questions but Irsquom glad they were askedrdquo Thompson said ldquoIt is just a dicey situ-ation still especially in the state of Alabama Gonzales did a great job at addressing themrdquo
Joseph Siegelman said although he was nervous he was glad to have an oppor-tunity to address some of the issues surrounding his fatherrsquos trial and conviction
ldquoI was certainly intimidat-ed mdash hersquos the former attor-ney general of the United Statesrdquo he said ldquoWe see a glimmer of hope wersquore just working to make that a little biggerrdquo

The music world has been far too prolific over the past week or so to devote an entire 600 words to one artist or recording so herersquos some of the hippest stuff Irsquove been hearing
Grace PotterI want to be Grace Potter when
I grow up Or at the very least marry her That seems to be the consensus of 9723 percent of the folks Irsquove talked to about the Nocturnalsrsquo opening set for the Avett Brothers at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater last Thursday night
Grace and company drove through their allotted hour with reckless joyful abandon which is very much the par for their course These guys always seem so happy on stage Grace dances around in tune-induced scantily-clothed bliss while drummer Matt Burr beats the tubs without withholding a single tooth from view (The latter may follow from
its prime vantage point on the for-mer)
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals released a new album ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo in June 2012 but the performance was a solid mix as the old bookended the new
They kicked off the set with ldquoNothing But the Water (II)rdquo from the 2005 album of the same name a fun jam with several individual member-featuring solos that lent themselves perfectly to the intros Grace rolled out in concurrence with the song
Country-tinged ballads ldquoParachute Heartrdquo and ldquoStarsrdquo from the new record gave Grace the opportunity to show off her beautiful powerful vocal prowess ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo the albumrsquos title track sounded even more heavy and driving live But it was disappointing to hear the bandrsquos live use of digital sustain on Gracersquos voice at select points in the song ndash an effect a voice like hers just doesnrsquot require
All was forgiven when the band closed the set with ldquoParis (Ooh La
La)rdquo and ldquoMedicinerdquo two favor-ites from their eponymous 2010 album As has become the bandrsquos custom the end of ldquoMedicinerdquo turned into a group-wide drum-clobbering section a tremendous-ly pleasing gimmick the band will grow tired of long before the fans will
The Rolling StonesThe Rolling Stonesrsquo new single
is good Thatrsquos what I thought after I gave ldquoDoom and Gloomrdquo a listen Thursday morning when the band released the track as the first single from upcoming com-pilation album ldquoGRRRrdquo sched-uled for release on Nov 12 Then I listened to it again And another time after that The clicheacute stops there because I had somewhere to be but you better believe the tune was stuck in my head the rest of the day
Now that Irsquom approximately 86 listens in allow me to mod-ify my original evaluation the Rolling Stonesrsquo new single is deceivingly good

For student parents the issue of finding an affordable and available babysitter can be a daunting task
Between juggling school and raising a child many student par-ents simply do not have the time or resources to find a babysitter who meets their needs In response to this The University of Alabama created Sitters for Service an ini-tiative developed to provide parents with free babysitting services from student volunteer babysitters
Sitters for Service was devel-oped three and a half years ago to serve the 2000+ student parents on
campus Currently it serves 38 stu-dent families and provides them with access to 38 different sitters the highest quantity in the pro-gramrsquos history
ldquoThe program is the first of
its kind in the countryrdquo Cori Perdue work life manager for the University and program coordina-tor said ldquoWe now have two other universities that have contacted us about setting up similar programs on their campusesrdquo
The program is volunteer-based and student sitters can earn com-munity service hours by choosing the number of hours they would like to dedicate per semester Sitters can choose to serve 20 30 or 40 hours each semester For stu-dents like Alex Constantine the program has been an excellent way to get involved and give back to the community
ldquoI like that itrsquos a volunteer
program thatrsquos helping other UA students that maybe donrsquot have the time or money to get other babysit-ters It makes me feel good to help other students out because I know how hard the workload is and being a parent is a whole other responsi-bility on top of thatrdquo Constantine a junior majoring in elementary edu-cation said
Although the program is com-prised of sitters with a variety of majors many of the students par-ticipate in the program as a way to gain valuable experience in their fields of study and to apply their knowledge to real life situations
ldquoA lot of times the students are nursing majors or education majors
that are trying to get related experi-ence in their fieldsrdquo Perdue said
The program has been largely successful over the past few years in aiding student parents in their search for an appropriate babysit-ter Following the application and interview process all students must become CPR certified and then par-ticipate in a meet-and-greet session where all parents meet with each of the sitters to find which sitters best meet their needs This provides the parents with peace of mind in knowing that their babysitter is well qualified and a good match
Rachel Delevett a senior major-ing in human development and family studies is in her fourth
semester with the programldquoI think itrsquos a great way to give
back to the University as a wholerdquo Delevett said ldquoI like working with the parents because they are respectful of your time and under-stand that yoursquore a student and they are really grateful for the pro-gramrdquo
Students interested in volun-teering for the Sitters for Service program can find more infor-mation on the Graduate Parent Support website at wwwgpsuaedu Applications for the Spring 2013 semester are currently avail-able Students may also contact Cori Perdue work life manager at cperduefauaedu

His scratchy voice and poignant lyrics make the Dylan compari-son an easy one but Rodriguez is more than a novelty copycat act His sound is pleasing a synthesis of the disquiet you see in Dylan the yearning you hear in Van Morrison and that weird beauti-ful suggestion of physical space you feel in the Moody Blues The phrasing and edge of Rodriguezrsquos words in ldquoHate Street Dialoguerdquo from 1970rsquos ldquoCold Factrdquo always reminds me of Deep Purplersquos Ian Anderson

Bama looks ahead to UF UGAVOLLEYBALL MENrsquoS GOLF
By Mary Grace ShowfetyStaff Reporter
Alabama volleyball will return to Foster Auditorium on Friday Oct 19 at 7 pm with a winning attitude
After what senior Kayla Fitterer called a solid week-end of play the Crimson Tide is ready to defend their home court by any means necessary
The Tide traveled to South Carolina on Friday where they were able to take the Gamecocks in four sets The final stop over the weekend was to Baton Rouge La where LSU battled
through four sets to victory over the Tide
Fitterer said both outcomes were a product of the way the Tide played
ldquoSouth Carolina was a really good win for usrdquo Fitterer said ldquoWe played really well and it showed With LSU we played well but we could have played better and had that urgency to finish We shouldrsquove won that fourth game ndash we were up and in the end we just let them sneak some points to winrdquo
Though the Tide is no stranger to tough competition the LSU match was especially
challengingJunior Andrea McQuaid
said the team expected a win because the last time the Tigers came to Tuscaloosa the Tide swept them
ldquoThey were firing on all cyl-inders because of how bad we beat them hererdquo McQuaid said ldquoThey were just out for revenge It was a catfight in warm-upsrdquo
Looking ahead to what should be a competition-filled weekend of play the Tide is confident in their abilities even with teams like Florida and Georgia on the ticket
Friday night the Tide will take on No 9 Florida who remains unbeaten in SEC play This will be the first meeting of the sea-son with the Gators
ldquoFlorida is a great teamrdquo McQuaid said ldquoOne thing that Irsquove learned in college sports is that no one is unbeatable At any given time an underdog can beat somebody Wersquore not expecting to lose any games this weekend as with any match We expect to win and wersquore going to give our best effortsrdquo
Head coach Ed Allen said Florida will be the Tidersquos tough-
est competition to dateldquoAlthough we felt like
Tennessee and Texas AampM were extremely competitive teams we think Florida is clearly the favorite to win the league at this pointrdquo Allen said
Sunday however will be a rematch between Alabama and Georgia The Tide traveled to Athens Ga in September for what turned out to be a heart-breaking loss in five sets
ldquoThe Georgia team we com-peted really hard against and we shouldrsquove pulled that out for a win but it will be a good gamerdquo Fitterer said ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here ready to win and we are toordquo
The Florida match comes at a special time in womenrsquos ath-letics at the Capstone Keeping with the tradition started by gymnastics head coach Sarah Patterson in 2004 Crimson Tide volleyball celebrates the Power of Pink Initiative
Power of Pink began as a gym-nastics team tradition in 2009 it spread to the entire womenrsquos athletic department as a way to spread breast cancer awareness in West Alabama
ldquoWersquore thrilled to be able to contribute a match this month for a cause that is significant-ly important and [that] has touched many of us already or will touch others in the coming yearsrdquo Allen said ldquoWersquore happy to help raise awareness raise funds and support a cause that is clearly worth supportingrdquo

In come-from-behind fashion the Alabama menrsquos golf team swept the medal-ist honors at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate played at the par-70 7204 yard Old Overton Golf Club
ldquoWe needed this winrdquo head coach Jay Seawell said following the round ldquoWe have been stumbling so Irsquom really proud It doesnrsquot matter how you do it I donrsquot think it was pret-ty Winning is always win-ning so that brings a lot of confidence and that is the part Irsquom proud of The guys have worked hard and hung in there Irsquom really proud of how they hung in all day longrdquo
Alabama found them-selves on the top of the team leaderboard at the end of the day on Tuesday after trailing for the previ-ous two rounds Shooting a team total of 2-over 282 Alabama defeated runner-up Florida by four strokes Auburn finished third with a 27-over 867 while UNLV took home fourth place

Crimson Tide readies for trip to Neyland Stadium on SaturdayBy Alexis PaineStaff Reporter
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team will see famil-iar faces on the Tennessee Volunteer sideline as they take the field at Neyland Stadium this Saturday The Tide offense will go head-to-head with a defense coached by former Tide defen-sive coordinator Sal Sunseri who joined the Volunteer coaching staff before this sea-son Tide players will also com-pete against former teammate Darrington Sentimore who left the Tide in 2010 Linebacker CJ Mosley said it will be fun to see what his former teammate does on the opposite side of the field The junior also said it will not be weird to see Sunseri on the opposing teamrsquos sideline
ldquoIrsquom going to be too busy try-ing to stop the offenserdquo Mosley said ldquoHe was a great coach when he was here Irsquom pretty sure hersquos doing a great job there but my job is to focus on the offense and what theyrsquore going to dordquo
Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said he is not con-cerned about playing former members of the Tide and does not believe it will affect the team
ldquoYou gotta worry about you how you prepare for the game what you need to do to win the gamerdquo McCarron said
Rivalry changes little in practice
The historic Alabama-Tennessee rivalry did not pro-voke a change in this weekrsquos preparations in practice Mosley said The Tide has maintained
Bama needs to play at full potential to beat UTBy Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Another week has come and gone and with it another victory for the Crimson Tide Although a few injuries and a little damp weather stalled what was otherwise a well-oiled machine in Alabama the Tide still proved to show its superior talent with a 42-10 win over the Missouri Tigers
Again Alabama didnrsquot play to its full potential the entire game Still it was fairly obvi-ous it didnrsquot need to As a matter of fact in none of the games thus far this season has Alabama had to play up to its full potential to pull out a vic-tory
And while thatrsquos all fine and good it does present a particular problem that may meet the Tide down the road In fact itrsquoll meet the Crimson Tide at home in Bryant-Denny Stadium in about two weeks time ndash because that is when the now-undefeated Mississippi State Bulldogs come to town
Alabama will for the first time this season play a team that has not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them this year (If you donrsquot believe me look at teams like Michigan and Arkansas)
Thatrsquos not the end of it either The following week the Tide travels to Baton Rouge La to play not only one of the most talented teams in the nation but in one of the most ominous stadiums in the coun-try Thatrsquos a tall order by any-onersquos standards
Now Irsquom not saying Alabama
doesnrsquot have what it takes to go through that two-week stretch unscathed Itrsquos still my opinion that Alabama has the most talented well-coached team in the nation And when they play to their full potential they are nearly unstoppable
But herersquos the problem for the Tide to be unstoppable it has tohellip drum roll pleasehellip play up to its full potential Not for a portion of the game No it has to play lights out the entire game or at least the majority of it which is something the Tide has struggled with thus far this season
This is a team that hasnrsquot faced any real adversity so far ndash not really Thatrsquos great because it shows an accurate picture of how talented this team is it doesnrsquot have to play to its full potential to soundly beat someone (herersquos looking at you Mizzou)
But if Alabama doesnrsquot play up to its standards against a team like LSU or Mississippi State or (quite possibly) teams like Florida South Carolina or Georgia it may very well be put in a strenuous situation And thatrsquos where this season could be won or lost
If the Tide can play up to its full potential handling any and all adversity that comes its way Alabama may well be on its way to another incred-ible season But Alabama still has to prove it can overcome adversity and play to its stan-dards of play on both sides of the ball before fans can really start looking for No 15
Therersquos still a long way to go before all is said and done

the practice regimen that has allowed them success so far this year but has faced a more up-tempo pace Mosley said
ldquoAs a player yoursquove gotta be ready for a physical and tough practice because with Tennessee itrsquos a rivalryrdquo Mosley said ldquoThings will start boiling up and you have to be ready for those types of gamesrdquo
The Tide is prepared for the intensity of the fan base and the atmosphere they will enter when they take the field this weekend The players find the atmosphere of the rivalry fun and exciting
ldquoI like the intensityrdquo said right tackle DJ Fluker ldquoThat feeds me a little bit Coach Stoutland always says think of it as being a rock star out there and the crowd going crazy So it makes it fun for merdquo
McCarron ready to play despite injury rumors
Despite rumors that McCarron was suffering from a torn meniscus he has been present at practice this week Fluker said the quarterback has been taking practice one day at a time after sustaining a blow during last Saturdayrsquos game against Missouri The lineman said McCarron has been moving around well and the quarterbackrsquos hard work will allow him to bounce back quickly
McCarron said he was not worried about the severity of his injury during the game He listened to the trainers and was ready to get back on the field
ldquoI donrsquot like sitting outrdquo McCarron said ldquoI had to sit out when I was four from that wave runner wreck Thatrsquos the only year Irsquove ever missed I just donrsquot like missing playsrdquo
McCarron said the rumors surrounding his injury start-ed by a caller on the Paul Finebaum radio show are false

The music world has been far too prolific over the past week or so to devote an entire 600 words to one artist or recording so herersquos some of the hippest stuff Irsquove been hearing
Grace PotterI want to be Grace Potter when
I grow up Or at the very least marry her That seems to be the consensus of 9723 percent of the folks Irsquove talked to about the Nocturnalsrsquo opening set for the Avett Brothers at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater last Thursday night
Grace and company drove through their allotted hour with reckless joyful abandon which is very much the par for their course These guys always seem so happy on stage Grace dances around in tune-induced scantily-clothed bliss while drummer Matt Burr beats the tubs without withholding a single tooth from view (The latter may follow from
its prime vantage point on the for-mer)
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals released a new album ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo in June 2012 but the performance was a solid mix as the old bookended the new
They kicked off the set with ldquoNothing But the Water (II)rdquo from the 2005 album of the same name a fun jam with several individual member-featuring solos that lent themselves perfectly to the intros Grace rolled out in concurrence with the song
Country-tinged ballads ldquoParachute Heartrdquo and ldquoStarsrdquo from the new record gave Grace the opportunity to show off her beautiful powerful vocal prowess ldquoThe Lion the Beast the Beatrdquo the albumrsquos title track sounded even more heavy and driving live But it was disappointing to hear the bandrsquos live use of digital sustain on Gracersquos voice at select points in the song ndash an effect a voice like hers just doesnrsquot require
All was forgiven when the band closed the set with ldquoParis (Ooh La
La)rdquo and ldquoMedicinerdquo two favor-ites from their eponymous 2010 album As has become the bandrsquos custom the end of ldquoMedicinerdquo turned into a group-wide drum-clobbering section a tremendous-ly pleasing gimmick the band will grow tired of long before the fans will
The Rolling StonesThe Rolling Stonesrsquo new single
is good Thatrsquos what I thought after I gave ldquoDoom and Gloomrdquo a listen Thursday morning when the band released the track as the first single from upcoming com-pilation album ldquoGRRRrdquo sched-uled for release on Nov 12 Then I listened to it again And another time after that The clicheacute stops there because I had somewhere to be but you better believe the tune was stuck in my head the rest of the day
Now that Irsquom approximately 86 listens in allow me to mod-ify my original evaluation the Rolling Stonesrsquo new single is deceivingly good

Creative Campus is in the development stages of a do-it-yourself series that will allow student art making and hands on projects through interactive events
ldquoPart of Creative Campusrsquos objective is to spread artistic diversity throughout the UA campusrdquo Shiori Ito Creative Campus intern and leader of DIY UA said
Each week will have a differ-ent DIY focus and the events will be held bi-weekly through-out the school year Although the project is not fully off the ground yet the first session will begin Nov 13 from 6 to 7 pm
ldquoCreative Campus is designed
to connect people while turning innovative ideas into actionrdquo Katherine Howard one of the students working on the proj-ect said ldquoIn many ways this is DIY UArsquos goalrdquo
The first session will be a tutorial teaching students basic knitting skills and the second will be an overview of candle making Both sessions will be held in Maxwell Hall the Creative Campus building
ldquoWe also want to start a Cooking in the Dorms video series where students teach students how to cook simple and chap dishes that donrsquot require many supplies or much equipmentrdquo Howard said
The club requires no monthly or annual dues Students may be required to bring some of
their own materials but other materials will be provided by DIY UA
Information about the proj-ects and materials will be pro-vided in a monthly newslet-ter and the same information will be posted on the Creative Campus website Details of what to bring what will be pro-vided and where students wish-ing to participate can purchase materials for the lowest cost will be provided in the newslet-ter
Students can sign up to receive the newsletter at cre-ativecampusuaedu
ldquoWe want to give students the opportunity to connect with each other while creat-ing through various projectsrdquo Howard said

For student parents the issue of finding an affordable and available babysitter can be a daunting task
Between juggling school and raising a child many student par-ents simply do not have the time or resources to find a babysitter who meets their needs In response to this The University of Alabama created Sitters for Service an ini-tiative developed to provide parents with free babysitting services from student volunteer babysitters
Sitters for Service was devel-oped three and a half years ago to serve the 2000+ student parents on
campus Currently it serves 38 stu-dent families and provides them with access to 38 different sitters the highest quantity in the pro-gramrsquos history
ldquoThe program is the first of
its kind in the countryrdquo Cori Perdue work life manager for the University and program coordina-tor said ldquoWe now have two other universities that have contacted us about setting up similar programs on their campusesrdquo
The program is volunteer-based and student sitters can earn com-munity service hours by choosing the number of hours they would like to dedicate per semester Sitters can choose to serve 20 30 or 40 hours each semester For stu-dents like Alex Constantine the program has been an excellent way to get involved and give back to the community
ldquoI like that itrsquos a volunteer
program thatrsquos helping other UA students that maybe donrsquot have the time or money to get other babysit-ters It makes me feel good to help other students out because I know how hard the workload is and being a parent is a whole other responsi-bility on top of thatrdquo Constantine a junior majoring in elementary edu-cation said
Although the program is com-prised of sitters with a variety of majors many of the students par-ticipate in the program as a way to gain valuable experience in their fields of study and to apply their knowledge to real life situations
ldquoA lot of times the students are nursing majors or education majors
that are trying to get related experi-ence in their fieldsrdquo Perdue said
The program has been largely successful over the past few years in aiding student parents in their search for an appropriate babysit-ter Following the application and interview process all students must become CPR certified and then par-ticipate in a meet-and-greet session where all parents meet with each of the sitters to find which sitters best meet their needs This provides the parents with peace of mind in knowing that their babysitter is well qualified and a good match
Rachel Delevett a senior major-ing in human development and family studies is in her fourth
semester with the programldquoI think itrsquos a great way to give
back to the University as a wholerdquo Delevett said ldquoI like working with the parents because they are respectful of your time and under-stand that yoursquore a student and they are really grateful for the pro-gramrdquo
Students interested in volun-teering for the Sitters for Service program can find more infor-mation on the Graduate Parent Support website at wwwgpsuaedu Applications for the Spring 2013 semester are currently avail-able Students may also contact Cori Perdue work life manager at cperduefauaedu

is no time at all compared to the several decades this dude has spent off the map Rodriguez the subject of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival opening documentary ldquoSearching for Sugar Manrdquo grew up in Detroit and cut two records in 1970 and 1971 before being com-pletely forgotten
Except in South Africa where he became a Bob Dylan-caliber poet-laureate for the downtrod-den and working class Nobody thought to tell Rodriguez about his hero status however so he worked as a day laborer in Detroit until his daughter discovered
his fame in the late 1990s and he performed a string of concerts in the country
His scratchy voice and poignant lyrics make the Dylan compari-son an easy one but Rodriguez is more than a novelty copycat act His sound is pleasing a synthesis of the disquiet you see in Dylan the yearning you hear in Van Morrison and that weird beauti-ful suggestion of physical space you feel in the Moody Blues The phrasing and edge of Rodriguezrsquos words in ldquoHate Street Dialoguerdquo from 1970rsquos ldquoCold Factrdquo always reminds me of Deep Purplersquos Ian Anderson

Bama looks ahead to UF UGAVOLLEYBALL MENrsquoS GOLF
By Mary Grace ShowfetyStaff Reporter
Alabama volleyball will return to Foster Auditorium on Friday Oct 19 at 7 pm with a winning attitude
After what senior Kayla Fitterer called a solid week-end of play the Crimson Tide is ready to defend their home court by any means necessary
The Tide traveled to South Carolina on Friday where they were able to take the Gamecocks in four sets The final stop over the weekend was to Baton Rouge La where LSU battled
through four sets to victory over the Tide
Fitterer said both outcomes were a product of the way the Tide played
ldquoSouth Carolina was a really good win for usrdquo Fitterer said ldquoWe played really well and it showed With LSU we played well but we could have played better and had that urgency to finish We shouldrsquove won that fourth game ndash we were up and in the end we just let them sneak some points to winrdquo
Though the Tide is no stranger to tough competition the LSU match was especially
challengingJunior Andrea McQuaid
said the team expected a win because the last time the Tigers came to Tuscaloosa the Tide swept them
ldquoThey were firing on all cyl-inders because of how bad we beat them hererdquo McQuaid said ldquoThey were just out for revenge It was a catfight in warm-upsrdquo
Looking ahead to what should be a competition-filled weekend of play the Tide is confident in their abilities even with teams like Florida and Georgia on the ticket
Friday night the Tide will take on No 9 Florida who remains unbeaten in SEC play This will be the first meeting of the sea-son with the Gators
ldquoFlorida is a great teamrdquo McQuaid said ldquoOne thing that Irsquove learned in college sports is that no one is unbeatable At any given time an underdog can beat somebody Wersquore not expecting to lose any games this weekend as with any match We expect to win and wersquore going to give our best effortsrdquo
Head coach Ed Allen said Florida will be the Tidersquos tough-
est competition to dateldquoAlthough we felt like
Tennessee and Texas AampM were extremely competitive teams we think Florida is clearly the favorite to win the league at this pointrdquo Allen said
Sunday however will be a rematch between Alabama and Georgia The Tide traveled to Athens Ga in September for what turned out to be a heart-breaking loss in five sets
ldquoThe Georgia team we com-peted really hard against and we shouldrsquove pulled that out for a win but it will be a good gamerdquo Fitterer said ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here ready to win and we are toordquo
The Florida match comes at a special time in womenrsquos ath-letics at the Capstone Keeping with the tradition started by gymnastics head coach Sarah Patterson in 2004 Crimson Tide volleyball celebrates the Power of Pink Initiative
Power of Pink began as a gym-nastics team tradition in 2009 it spread to the entire womenrsquos athletic department as a way to spread breast cancer awareness in West Alabama
ldquoWersquore thrilled to be able to contribute a match this month for a cause that is significant-ly important and [that] has touched many of us already or will touch others in the coming yearsrdquo Allen said ldquoWersquore happy to help raise awareness raise funds and support a cause that is clearly worth supportingrdquo
CW Staff
In come-from-behind fashion the Alabama menrsquos golf team swept the medal-ist honors at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate played at the par-70 7204 yard Old Overton Golf Club
ldquoWe needed this winrdquo head coach Jay Seawell said following the round ldquoWe have been stumbling so Irsquom really proud It doesnrsquot matter how you do it I donrsquot think it was pret-ty Winning is always win-ning so that brings a lot of confidence and that is the part Irsquom proud of The guys have worked hard and hung in there Irsquom really proud of how they hung in all day longrdquo
Alabama found them-selves on the top of the team leaderboard at the end of the day on Tuesday after trailing for the previ-ous two rounds Shooting a team total of 2-over 282 Alabama defeated runner-up Florida by four strokes Auburn finished third with a 27-over 867 while UNLV took home fourth place
with a 28-over-par 868 Rounding out the top five Clemson carded a 54-hole total of 30-over 870
In the process sopho-more Justin Thomaswrapped up his fifth career win tying the schoolrecord for career wins with Steve Lowery Thomas has tied the record in 15 career tournaments played while Lowery won five career tournaments in 44 attempts
The win was Alabamarsquos fifth victory overall at the JPNI all coming in the last seven years Thomasrsquos indi-vidual win was the fifth in school history at the JPNI and the last since Hunter Hamrickrsquos win in 2009

Crimson Tide readies for trip to Neyland Stadium on SaturdayBy Alexis PaineStaff Reporter
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team will see famil-iar faces on the Tennessee Volunteer sideline as they take the field at Neyland Stadium this Saturday The Tide offense will go head-to-head with a defense coached by former Tide defen-sive coordinator Sal Sunseri who joined the Volunteer coaching staff before this sea-son Tide players will also com-pete against former teammate Darrington Sentimore who left the Tide in 2010 Linebacker CJ Mosley said it will be fun to see what his former teammate does on the opposite side of the field The junior also said it will not be weird to see Sunseri on the opposing teamrsquos sideline
ldquoIrsquom going to be too busy try-ing to stop the offenserdquo Mosley said ldquoHe was a great coach when he was here Irsquom pretty sure hersquos doing a great job there but my job is to focus on the offense and what theyrsquore going to dordquo
Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said he is not con-cerned about playing former members of the Tide and does not believe it will affect the team
ldquoYou gotta worry about you how you prepare for the game what you need to do to win the gamerdquo McCarron said
Rivalry changes little in practice
The historic Alabama-Tennessee rivalry did not pro-voke a change in this weekrsquos preparations in practice Mosley said The Tide has maintained
Bama needs to play at full potential to beat UTBy Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Another week has come and gone and with it another victory for the Crimson Tide Although a few injuries and a little damp weather stalled what was otherwise a well-oiled machine in Alabama the Tide still proved to show its superior talent with a 42-10 win over the Missouri Tigers
Again Alabama didnrsquot play to its full potential the entire game Still it was fairly obvi-ous it didnrsquot need to As a matter of fact in none of the games thus far this season has Alabama had to play up to its full potential to pull out a vic-tory
And while thatrsquos all fine and good it does present a particular problem that may meet the Tide down the road In fact itrsquoll meet the Crimson Tide at home in Bryant-Denny Stadium in about two weeks time ndash because that is when the now-undefeated Mississippi State Bulldogs come to town
Alabama will for the first time this season play a team that has not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them this year (If you donrsquot believe me look at teams like Michigan and Arkansas)
Thatrsquos not the end of it either The following week the Tide travels to Baton Rouge La to play not only one of the most talented teams in the nation but in one of the most ominous stadiums in the coun-try Thatrsquos a tall order by any-onersquos standards
Now Irsquom not saying Alabama
doesnrsquot have what it takes to go through that two-week stretch unscathed Itrsquos still my opinion that Alabama has the most talented well-coached team in the nation And when they play to their full potential they are nearly unstoppable
But herersquos the problem for the Tide to be unstoppable it has tohellip drum roll pleasehellip play up to its full potential Not for a portion of the game No it has to play lights out the entire game or at least the majority of it which is something the Tide has struggled with thus far this season
This is a team that hasnrsquot faced any real adversity so far ndash not really Thatrsquos great because it shows an accurate picture of how talented this team is it doesnrsquot have to play to its full potential to soundly beat someone (herersquos looking at you Mizzou)
But if Alabama doesnrsquot play up to its standards against a team like LSU or Mississippi State or (quite possibly) teams like Florida South Carolina or Georgia it may very well be put in a strenuous situation And thatrsquos where this season could be won or lost
If the Tide can play up to its full potential handling any and all adversity that comes its way Alabama may well be on its way to another incred-ible season But Alabama still has to prove it can overcome adversity and play to its stan-dards of play on both sides of the ball before fans can really start looking for No 15
Therersquos still a long way to go before all is said and done

the practice regimen that has allowed them success so far this year but has faced a more up-tempo pace Mosley said
ldquoAs a player yoursquove gotta be ready for a physical and tough practice because with Tennessee itrsquos a rivalryrdquo Mosley said ldquoThings will start boiling up and you have to be ready for those types of gamesrdquo
The Tide is prepared for the intensity of the fan base and the atmosphere they will enter when they take the field this weekend The players find the atmosphere of the rivalry fun and exciting
ldquoI like the intensityrdquo said right tackle DJ Fluker ldquoThat feeds me a little bit Coach Stoutland always says think of it as being a rock star out there and the crowd going crazy So it makes it fun for merdquo
McCarron ready to play despite injury rumors
Despite rumors that McCarron was suffering from a torn meniscus he has been present at practice this week Fluker said the quarterback has been taking practice one day at a time after sustaining a blow during last Saturdayrsquos game against Missouri The lineman said McCarron has been moving around well and the quarterbackrsquos hard work will allow him to bounce back quickly
McCarron said he was not worried about the severity of his injury during the game He listened to the trainers and was ready to get back on the field
ldquoI donrsquot like sitting outrdquo McCarron said ldquoI had to sit out when I was four from that wave runner wreck Thatrsquos the only year Irsquove ever missed I just donrsquot like missing playsrdquo
McCarron said the rumors surrounding his injury start-ed by a caller on the Paul Finebaum radio show are false

Bama looks ahead to UF UGAVOLLEYBALL MENrsquoS GOLF
By Mary Grace ShowfetyStaff Reporter
Alabama volleyball will return to Foster Auditorium on Friday Oct 19 at 7 pm with a winning attitude
After what senior Kayla Fitterer called a solid week-end of play the Crimson Tide is ready to defend their home court by any means necessary
The Tide traveled to South Carolina on Friday where they were able to take the Gamecocks in four sets The final stop over the weekend was to Baton Rouge La where LSU battled
through four sets to victory over the Tide
Fitterer said both outcomes were a product of the way the Tide played
ldquoSouth Carolina was a really good win for usrdquo Fitterer said ldquoWe played really well and it showed With LSU we played well but we could have played better and had that urgency to finish We shouldrsquove won that fourth game ndash we were up and in the end we just let them sneak some points to winrdquo
Though the Tide is no stranger to tough competition the LSU match was especially
challengingJunior Andrea McQuaid
said the team expected a win because the last time the Tigers came to Tuscaloosa the Tide swept them
ldquoThey were firing on all cyl-inders because of how bad we beat them hererdquo McQuaid said ldquoThey were just out for revenge It was a catfight in warm-upsrdquo
Looking ahead to what should be a competition-filled weekend of play the Tide is confident in their abilities even with teams like Florida and Georgia on the ticket
Friday night the Tide will take on No 9 Florida who remains unbeaten in SEC play This will be the first meeting of the sea-son with the Gators
ldquoFlorida is a great teamrdquo McQuaid said ldquoOne thing that Irsquove learned in college sports is that no one is unbeatable At any given time an underdog can beat somebody Wersquore not expecting to lose any games this weekend as with any match We expect to win and wersquore going to give our best effortsrdquo
Head coach Ed Allen said Florida will be the Tidersquos tough-
est competition to dateldquoAlthough we felt like
Tennessee and Texas AampM were extremely competitive teams we think Florida is clearly the favorite to win the league at this pointrdquo Allen said
Sunday however will be a rematch between Alabama and Georgia The Tide traveled to Athens Ga in September for what turned out to be a heart-breaking loss in five sets
ldquoThe Georgia team we com-peted really hard against and we shouldrsquove pulled that out for a win but it will be a good gamerdquo Fitterer said ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here ready to win and we are toordquo
The Florida match comes at a special time in womenrsquos ath-letics at the Capstone Keeping with the tradition started by gymnastics head coach Sarah Patterson in 2004 Crimson Tide volleyball celebrates the Power of Pink Initiative
Power of Pink began as a gym-nastics team tradition in 2009 it spread to the entire womenrsquos athletic department as a way to spread breast cancer awareness in West Alabama
ldquoWersquore thrilled to be able to contribute a match this month for a cause that is significant-ly important and [that] has touched many of us already or will touch others in the coming yearsrdquo Allen said ldquoWersquore happy to help raise awareness raise funds and support a cause that is clearly worth supportingrdquo
CW Staff
In come-from-behind fashion the Alabama menrsquos golf team swept the medal-ist honors at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate played at the par-70 7204 yard Old Overton Golf Club
ldquoWe needed this winrdquo head coach Jay Seawell said following the round ldquoWe have been stumbling so Irsquom really proud It doesnrsquot matter how you do it I donrsquot think it was pret-ty Winning is always win-ning so that brings a lot of confidence and that is the part Irsquom proud of The guys have worked hard and hung in there Irsquom really proud of how they hung in all day longrdquo
Alabama found them-selves on the top of the team leaderboard at the end of the day on Tuesday after trailing for the previ-ous two rounds Shooting a team total of 2-over 282 Alabama defeated runner-up Florida by four strokes Auburn finished third with a 27-over 867 while UNLV took home fourth place
with a 28-over-par 868 Rounding out the top five Clemson carded a 54-hole total of 30-over 870
In the process sopho-more Justin Thomaswrapped up his fifth career win tying the schoolrecord for career wins with Steve Lowery Thomas has tied the record in 15 career tournaments played while Lowery won five career tournaments in 44 attempts
The win was Alabamarsquos fifth victory overall at the JPNI all coming in the last seven years Thomasrsquos indi-vidual win was the fifth in school history at the JPNI and the last since Hunter Hamrickrsquos win in 2009
Tide takes medals at Jerry Pate wins fi fth title in 7 years

But if Alabama doesnrsquot play up to its standards against a team like LSU or Mississippi State or (quite possibly) teams like Florida South Carolina or Georgia it may very well be put in a strenuous situation And thatrsquos where this season could be won or lost
If the Tide can play up to its full potential handling any and all adversity that comes its way Alabama may well be on its way to another incred-ible season But Alabama still has to prove it can overcome adversity and play to its stan-dards of play on both sides of the ball before fans can really start looking for No 15
Therersquos still a long way to go before all is said and done
