Bryant Museum showroom and turn the corner to the right, they find themselves standing in front of a bright, gleaming crystal ball that embodies all that is Alabama foot- ball: championship, tradition, and more specifically for this past season, redemption. The 2011 BCS National Championship trophy arrived at the museum around 2 p.m. last Wednesday and went on display to the public at 9 a.m., the following morning. “We spent most of Wednesday checking to see where it was,” said Ken Gaddy, director of the Paul W. Bryant Museum, whose staff tracked the package on the UPS tracking site just as many people do for packages. This, however, was no ordinary package. The Crimson Tide won its 14th National Championship and third BCS championship Jan. 9, shutting out the LSU Tigers 21-0 on in New Orleans, La. Even though the Bryant museum is packed with Alabama football trophies, this one means something special. Museum curator Taylor Watson said he has been at the museum since 1992. He has seen all three championship trophies arrive and has helped with putting them on display. He said the main thing he worries about when han- dling the trophy is not dropping it. “It’s a crystal foot- ball. It will shatter. It will break,” Watson said. “It’s an amazing trophy, and we get to display it for folks. It’s kind of cool.” The day prior to the arrival of the trophy, Watson changed out the pho- tograph behind where the trophy would be displayed. It now shows Coach Nick Saban hoisting the 2011 trophy in the air following January’s victory. Watson said they also had to move the 2009 trophy to its new case across the room, along with the SEC trophy from that year and a pair of Mark Ingram’s iconic “A” gloves worn during the game.

Volunteers will also have the opportunity to help make blankets for those in need. Participants are then scheduled to watch several videos including a documentary about TOMS Shoes and a film about the survival of an Iraqi veteran. Afterward, students may participate in the Walk Without Shoes before finally setting up their sleeping bags to spend the night on the Quad. “The Sleep Out on the Quad will be an invaluable learn- ing experience and a life-time memory for students that participate,” said Charlotte Brown, director of Hunger and Homelessness with the Community Service Center and main organizer of the event. “I challenge the UA commu- nity to give one night to show that we are concerned about the issues of homelessness in our community and through- out the nation.

The protestors said the bill, if passed, would ban abortion entirely and outlaw the “morning after pill.” In cases where a woman is suspected of causing her miscarriage, she might be inves- tigated and possibly charged with a crime. Charlotte Lawson, protest committee chair for the UA College Democrats, said that although she does not think this bill will pass, she still wants to raise awareness about the bill and other bills like it because they often fly under the radar. “This bill is indicative of how Republicans and other politicians feel about women,” she said. “It is also indicative of politicians using women as tools.” However, everyone present at the protest was not necessarily pro-choice.

The Obama administration announced long-awaited rules that would sharply limit the output of carbon dioxide emis-sions from new power plants, the gases that the vast majority of scientists say are the primary contributor to global climate change. The announcement Tuesday by the Environmental Protection Agency signaled that the admin-istration’s commitment to tack-ling climate change has not entirely fallen away, despite the controversy it could unleash in an election year. Delays of key EPA rules over the last six months and President Barack Obama’s recent statements tout-ing oil development in response to high gasoline prices stirred nervousness among environ-mentalists that this standard would also be shelved. Yet by proposing the power plant rules and pressing forward with new car and truck fuel economy standards, the Obama administration has moved to cut pollution from the two largest domestic sources of greenhouse gases. Power plants themselves are the single greatest station-ary source, accounting for 40 percent of the country’s output of carbon dioxide. “I think the administration releasing a proposed regulation for greenhouse gases for new plants is as strong a signal that anyone can ask for about how seriously they are addressing the threat of climate change,”

said Megan Ceronsky, an attor-ney for the Environmental Defense Fund. The mining industry criticized the rule. “Requiring coal-based power plants to meet an emis-sions standard based on natural gas technology is a policy overt-ly calculated to destroy a signifi-cant portion of America’s elec-tricity supply,” said Hal Quinn, chief executive of the National Mining Association. “This pro-posal is the latest convoy in EPA’s regulatory train wreck that is rolling across America, crushing jobs and arresting our economic recovery at every stop. It is not an ‘all of the above’ ener-gy strategy.” The regulations would apply only to new power plants, not modifications to existing plants, the standards for which are expected later. The proposed rules would require new plants to emit a maximum of 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour. The newest nat-ural-gas-fired power plants emit about 800 pounds of carbon per megawatt hour, new coal plants, between 1,600 to about 1,900 pounds per megawatt hour. “Still, I think it is a landmark rule, because what this essen-tially says is we will never be building dirty old coal plants ever again,” said Michael Brune of the Sierra Club, one of the litigants in the lawsuit that led to the development of the new rules. “The dominant power source of the 19th and 20th cen-turies won’t be built the same again.”

First Amendment Free Food Festival to be held todayThe University of Alabama’s student chap-ter of the Society of Professional Journalists will hold a First Amendment Free Food Festival today, March 28 at 11:30 a.m. on the southwest corner of the Quad across from Phifer Hall. The first 500 students who sign a passport to enter the “Glorious Kingdom of Roll Tidelberg” will be offered free lunches in exchange for relinquishing First Amendment rights. News media will be banned from inside the Kingdom. A goon

squad will enforce any laws the dictator fancies. The First Amendment Free Food Festival, which has been held on more than 20 campuses nationwide since 2006, rein-forces the importance of First Amendment freedoms and shows the dangers of taking these rights for granted. This is the first time the event has been held on the UA campus. Co-sponsors include the Student Government Association, the Academic Honor Council and the Corolla yearbook.

night without the benefits and privileges that we take for granted sometimes,” Mendieta said. “This night is a good way to put everything in perspec-tive.” Jacob Roden, a freshman studying English, is looking forward to the event and also views it as an opportunity for enlightenment. “I think sometimes kids our age have a tendency to brush off issues like homelessness and poverty,” Roden said. “Of

course it’s not necessarily intentional on their part, but I think that [Sleep Out on the Quad] will be an appropriate opportunity for kids to get at least some idea of the way that some people have to live. I defi-nitely plan on being there.” To learn more about the event, students are encour-aged to visit the Community Service Center in 346 Ferguson Center or email their inquiries to [email protected].

For the third time in four years, Tuscaloosa, Northport and Tuscaloosa County will host the Tuscaloosa Regional Air Show Saturday and Sunday at the Tuscaloosa Regional Airport. Kelsey Colglazier, the 2012 Air Show publicity coordina-tor, said flying will begin at approximately 10:30 a.m. both days and will conclude with a performance by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, which begins at 3 p.m. Flying will be continuous throughout both days. “This opportunity is rare, especially since we are a civil-ian show, and we are thrilled to have [the Blue Angels] return to Tuscaloosa along with all of our other performers,” Colglazier said. General admission is free to

the public. However, premier seating options are available for purchase, Colglazier said. A detailed description of seat-ing options as well as more information on the event can be found at tuscaloosaregionalair-show.com. The theme for this year’s air show is “honoring our heroes,” Colglazier said.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to recognize local heroes, whether they are teachers, veterans, coaches, civic leaders, moms, dads or a friend,” Colglazier said. The Tuscaloosa Regional Air Show is presented by McAlister’s Deli and will have a unique setup of static display, Colglazier said. “This setup is said to quite possibly be one of the best setups for the 2012 air show,” Colglazier said. “Attendees can expect to see over 70 years of aviation history.” Tera Tubbs, director of the Tuscaloosa Department of Transportation, said those con-sidering attending the event should familiarize themselves with the parking and traffic plan, which is designed to opti-mize traffic flow upon depar-ture. The plan can be found on the event website. On-site parking is limited and

attendees can park at three dif-ferent locations throughout the community as well as use the free shuttle system that has been set in place for the event. The three locations are the Downtown Intermodal Facility, Tuscaloosa County High School and the K-Mart on Skyland Boulevard. Shuttle buses will begin transporting at 8 a.m., and gates will open at 9 a.m. They will con-tinue to run throughout the day until 2 p.m., and will pick up at 4 p.m. following the Blue Angels’ performance. The buses will run until the airport is cleared. “I really encourage people to actually come out to the airport to view the show because it is a completely different experi-ence,” Tubbs said. “There is so much to do and see on site. We are planning for 150,000 attend-ees over the weekend.” Colglazier said the support from local businesses has been

so many ways,” Colglazier said. “We have had an outpouring of support from so many local businesses this year, and we can’t thank them enough.”

“We have been working alongside the Red Cross in the planning stages of the event to make sure that everything is how they want it to be for the fundraiser, but on the night of the event, we will be work-ing on our own for the benefit of the chapter. We want this

event to be something that the people who work and vol-unteer with the Red Cross can come and enjoy, while we work to give back to them,” said Hannah Scott, project manager of “dollars for the next disaster.” The class now expects to raise twice the amount of money they were able to raise in the previous year. The even begins March 29, at 7 p.m., and bars Innisfree, Gallettes, Copper Top, The Booth, Moe’s Original BBQ,

Red Shed, Rounders, Bear Trap, Bo’s Bar, 4th & 23rd and 1831 will help raise funds for the campaign. Donations will be accepted at the door, and a cover may be required depending on the bar. “If I’ve learned one thing from working with the Red Cross this semester, it’s that disasters are bound to hap-pen,” Scott said. “The ques-tion to ask is when, not if. By holding this fundraiser, we hope to raise money for

the West Alabama Chapter in preparation for whatever the next disaster might be. By doing this, the chapter will be able to support the city of Tuscaloosa whenever the next disaster occurs.” March is nationally recog-nized as Red Cross month, and the students participat-ing in this campaign find this month to be a fitting time to honor the West Alabama Chapter of the Red Cross for their role in last year’s torna-do relief efforts.

A few weeks ago, 60 Minutes aired a feature on a nonprofit organization called Khan Academy. Its mission statement is bold: “A free world-class edu-cation for anyone, anywhere.” As a website, KhanAcademy.org contains a free supply of over 3,000 short video tutorials on any classroom topic imagin-able. The tutorials aren’t simple recordings of a given lecture or a teacher next to a whiteboard. Rather, the face of the instruc-tor never appears. Viewers see step-by-step doodles and dia-grams appear on an electronic blackboard, a format inspired by Yahoo’s Doodle notepad. The site also features online exercises and homework assignments to complement the tutorials. This format has been highly successful, and curious individuals are not the only ones taking advantage of it. Khan Academy is being incorporated into more and

The time has come and almost gone again. Brackets were filled, fingers were crossed, and all chaos ensued. Over six million brackets were filled in the ESPN Tournament Challenge, and over six mil-lion of them played with the idea of a perfect bracket — statistically a 1 in 9 quintillion chance. And after the second day, it was evident that no one would be close to that mark. However, looking forward to next season’s bracket, here are some obvious lessons to be

Lakeside Dining Hall sucks. That’s not just me calling them out; it’s a running cam-pus joke mentioned by all those with a meal plan, even making its foray onto Bama Memes. In fact, according to a lot of students, dining hall food sucks in general. Many students feel overcharged and underserved. It’s not like Bama Dining isn’t trying to make improvements — they do a large number of surveys, have expanded vegetarian options, and try their best to give students what they want. And, for almost a year, coor-dinators and backers of The Real Food Challenge have been showing Bama Dining a way to give students better food. The Real Food Challenge is a cooperative effort led by students to get 20 percent Real Food into dining halls by 2020. Real Food is defined as food that is local/community-based, ecologically sound, fair and humane. It is a way for individual students who believe in the cause to have an organization and network backing them in their efforts. Real Food Challenge helps students with tools like a Real Food Calculator and provides a contract that schools agree on in order to ensure they fol-low through with their com-mitment. UA’s food system has one obvious contradiction: We consistently ask for healthier food, but continue to choose options like cheeseburgers and pizza. But the Real Food Challenge has an answer for this: attempt to make all options have elements of Real Food. Real Food moves beyond the salad bar and can help the school use local beef

in hamburgers or local cheese in pizzas. Instead of taking away freedom of choice, why not make those ‘less healthy’ choices at least taste better by using Real ingredients? This is also important in that stu-dents’ reasons for dining halls sucking often aren’t easily put into words. It’s an aesthetic reaction to the look and taste of the food. It just doesn’t seem genuine. Using Real Food can make din-ing hall food better on a level students can’t even describe yet — by just making it feel better to eat. But despite all of our efforts, the corporation running UA’s food has decided to stamp out student voices. In a company-wide memo, Aramark told all employees to stop all contact with Real Food coordinators. One of its reasons for this was Real Food Challenge’s parent company, a unionizing group called Unite Here. There is a problem with this: it is a blatant lie. Unite Here isn’t even a challenge part-ner. Even though Unite Here has occasionally and indepen-dently worked with individual schools, Aramark’s citing of Unite Here as a parent com-pany is merely a scare tactic. The fact that this company is using secretive, falsified methods to silence students, whereas before it was glad to work with us, is disrespect-ful and unfair to University of Alabama students. If our dol-lars are supporting them, and our school contracting with them, how can we allow them to use such despicable tactics to try to effectively silence us? While it’s true that indi-vidual corporations have the right to their business methods, this is a corpora-tion that is supported by our university. UA has a respon-

sibility to work for students and not censor them, and therefore should not be con-tracting with companies who actively work against student voices. If we are going to have Aramark run our entire food system, then they should be held accountable by the University and by students. Aramark even violated the beloved Capstone Creed, as it did not “act with fairness, honesty and respect.” If this corporation can’t even be held accountable to our freshman pledge, how can it be expected to best serve students’ needs? How can it be supported by our meal plans and tax dol-lars? The solution is simple: the University must hold Aramark responsible for its grievances against students, and reopen the communi-cation between students, Aramark and University employees. Before this memo, students were working hard for the Real Food Challenge, and the University allowed us to have a Food Day that pro-moted and celebrated Real Food. We are not asking for a coercively signed contract or to censor any other group. We just want fair, equal treatment by a corporation that is serv-ing us our meals every day. If we must pay $9 per meal, we should anticipate respect and care from the University regarding our food system. Students, I urge you to help us. Team up with Real Food Challenge coordinators and participate in our Day of Action on April 10. With your help, we can make Lakeside Dining Hall suck a whole lot less.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dining Hall food sub-par, make a move for ‘Real Food’

By Jordan Klosky

Last weekend, millions of people around the coun-try attended showings of the newest box office hit “The Hunger Games.” I was not one of them. There is something in me that absolutely loathes the idea of buying into another book-to-movie fad, and that is exactly what “The Hunger Games” is: a fad. By the end of last week-end, ticket sales had reached roughly $155 mil-lion, making it the third highest grossing debut in box office history. This did not really surprise me because this appears to be the trend in popular young adult fiction. It does not seem like it is even about the real-ity of the movies and books anymore. It’s about creat-ing a story that everyone will buy into simply because everyone else is doing the same. Almost every person I know has read the books and given them the highest rec-ommendations, but I cannot bear to follow in their foot-steps. Even Stephen King gave positive reviews to the book. It appears that every-where I look, the world is telling me that I should read the books and see the movie. Maybe it really is as good as people say it is. Then again, Stephanie Meyer enjoyed the book as well, and I generally don’t trust her opinion of what a good read is. It’s not only the fad aspect of the series with which I have a problem — it’s the

content. While I can under-stand that the plot is intrigu-ing and catching, let’s not forget what is really going on here. Teens are killing one another in brutal ways. Do we really need anoth-er series with this kind of violence being directed at teens? I don’t think so. While I don’t think that seeing the violence will nec-essarily encourage similar behavior, I do fear it is mak-ing us numb to brutality that should shock us. Ultimately, I don’t think that I’m ever going to sway toward a more favorable opinion of “The Hunger Games” craze. To me, it is a fad that will eventually fade away, remembered as being better than “Twilight” but not as good as “Harry Potter.” Will I ever read it? Probably not. But who knows, maybe I’ll catch the movie at Redbox one day. Jordan Klosky is a sopho-more majoring in journal-ism. Her column runs bi-weekly on Wednesdays.

Choosing not to buy into ‘The Hunger Games’ fad

more elementary, middle and high school classrooms, her-alding an electronic transfor-mation of education. Whether this is an inherently good thing or not is still, in my mind, an open question. Whenever new educa-tional technology appears, it is almost always embraced wholeheartedly. The benefits are easy to see and are enjoyed immediately. What many miss is that these technological innovations have negative con-sequences as well. We are not as mindful of them because they appear slowly, silently and after the technology has already been adopted. Understanding this blowback is especially impor-tant in the classroom. Educational technology is adopted at the expense of edu-cation’s human element. This was quite evident as the 60 Minutes cameras sat in on a class that had been structured around Khan Academy. After her students sat down at com-puter stations, the teacher fed the students a web address, instructed them which links to click and gave them a login ID and password to access the course content. Afterward, the teacher silently roamed from station to station making sure

students were on task. The stu-dents, eyes glued to the screen and ears encased in headsets, paid her no attention. I found the image striking. Educators, who had spent years honing their pedagogical technique and mastering the content of their field, had been reduced to classroom custodi-ans. The teacher had become a technician and was really only there to make sure that the computers were working prop-erly and not being misused. In the long run, deempha-sizing physical classrooms and human teachers is not the way to educate young people in a high-thinking society. The benefits of something like Khan Academy are easy to see; it offers easy and instan-taneous access from anywhere to a large store of knowledge, software that automatically records statistics and the abil-ity to track student progress. However, all widely disseminat-ed technological learning oper-ates on a principle that I think is dangerous: the assumption that there is only one right way to teach something. Assuming this (false) premise, it is a short jump to argue that, once we have declared the ‘right’ way to teach a concept, we should record it and disseminate it, so

that living, breathing human beings no longer have to waste time teaching it. If you find the technique of your electronic teacher unhelpful, that’s just too bad because technological teachers don’t adapt to your preferred style of learning. In fact, there isn’t much room at all for varied learning styles in the centralized world of electronic education – there is only room for one, and it is imposed on the student. Electronic learning kills one of the vital functions of a true education. Education must transmit knowledge, but it must also inspire. We all learn much while enrolled in school, but the knowledge gained in four short years is never enough to last us a lifetime. Our teachers understand this, and it is why they encourage us to become life-long learners. If they are successful, their students will leave and look back on their schooling as the beginning of their education, an education that they are now charged with continuing for themselves. If a student leaves college without this aspiration, his education has been a failure. Computers cannot inspire. We are inspired when we see our teachers present, explain and synthesize new knowl-

edge in front of a class. We are awed by the amount of knowl-edge that they carry in their memories, and their ability to access it without returning to a computer. What is inspir-ing is the idea that a person can carry such a breadth and depth of knowledge with them, and that we can become just as knowledgeable if we so choose. Nobody wants to emulate a computer. When we embrace the ease with which electronic media communicate the factual con-tent of a lesson, we rob the les-son of its human element and thus its ability to inspire — this doesn’t just apply to one non-profit, it affects us as well. As the University moves more introductory classes to an online format and outsourc-es our education to companies like Pearson Education, fewer students are being inspired. Once it has been completely uploaded to the web, col-lege will become a heartless, valueless exchange of data analogous to a file transfer. Knowledge gained this way is dry, shallow, lacks force and is a poor excuse for an education.

learned from March Madness. 1. Ride teams that are hot: Teams that play well in their conference tournaments are more than likely to keep the streak going throughout the tournament. Last season, I took a chance on Connecticut to win it all after sweeping through the Big East tour-nament. Despite analysts refuting this pick by saying that Connecticut would be too fatigued to last a tourna-ment, they marched their way to a title. Basketball can be a streaky game, and when a team gets hot, a certain chem-istry forms that is hard to stop. This year, Louisville and Florida State were two of the hottest teams in the nation coming into the tourna-ment. I picked both teams to advance to the Final Four,

and Louisville has proven this theory, while Florida State did the opposite. However, other teams such as Florida and NC State outperformed their seeding in large part because of finding their stroke at the end of the season. 2. Do not pick all five seeds to beat twelve seeds: This the-ory may be a general rule of thumb to most, but it can be learned the hard way if one goes against it. Last year, I went against this theory, and my bracket quickly deterio-rated. I took a conservative approach to this year’s brack-et, picking VCU over Wichita State. That upset backed the 5/12 theory along with South Florida’s win over Temple. A frightening decep-tion exists between picking between five and twelve seeds. The teams are usually paired

with somewhat equivalent tal-ent, but the seeding makes it almost unbearable to advance a twelve into the next round. The theory has worked itself out as of late to state that 50 percent of 12 seeds will defeat five seeds each year. 3. Add another conspiracy to the list: The greatest of presidential conspiracies can add another to the list. President Barack Obama’s bracket is currently in the 96th percentile among those six million brackets — one percentile higher than my bracket, seven percentiles higher than Nick Lachey and forty three percentiles higher than LeBron James, according to ESPN. This bracket follows a near suicidal bracket from last year. With elections around the bend and approval ratings

dipping, a high bracket score could be just what the presi-dent needs to show that he deserves four more years in office. It may not even be too far of a stretch to say that some games may have been rigged in his favor (ex. the last minutes in the Syracuse/UNC Asheville game). However, Duke and Missouri still have nobody to blame but them-selves. The most exciting tour-nament in United States’ sports will come to a close on Monday. Remember these les-sons as you anxiously await the next NCAA tournament, as well as when Obama makes his picks next year.

The Alabama International Justice Mission is hosting a series of week-long events aimed at raising awareness on modern-day slavery and its 27 million victims, a number that is higher than ever. “These people are trapped in forced labor, police brutality and sex traffick-ing,” said Victoria Luna, Alabama IJM vice president. Alabama IJM works alongside the non-profit IJM organization. Founded in 1997 by Gary Haugen, a lawyer at the U.S. Department of Justice and United Nation’s investigator, this human rights agency was created in response to the abuse of power by police and authori-ties discovered in the communities of humanitarians and mission organiza-tions across the globe. According to IJM.org, the abuse was revealed by surveying more than 65 organizations, representing nearly 40,000 overseas workers. Alabama IJM carries on Haugen’s mission by striving to seek justice and serving as a voice on behalf of the vic-tims of injustice. Alabama IJM accom-plishes this through prayer, advocacy and raising awareness on campus and throughout the Tuscaloosa communi-ty. In addition, the student organiza-tion strives to seek support to enable the organization to continue to rescue victims. Darby Hess, Alabama IJM president, describes the organization as a dream

of hers and a product of her passion for fighting sex trafficking. “This passion urged me to research and gain knowledge of the issue along with other forms of human oppres-sion,” Hess said. “I came across International Justice Mission, and knew immediately that The University of Alabama needed a chapter.” Alabama IJM is one of 200 cam-pus chapters for International Justice Mission. Last month, Auburn University’s chapter hosted a Week of Justice. In April, UAB will be promot-ing a Freedom Week. With this increase of student involvement in Alabama, Hess said the organization’s executive team decided The University of Alabama should join the fight by establishing Justice Week 2012. “We wanted a week where the whole campus would be buzzing and talking about IJM and the 27 million people enslaved,” Luna said. “We hope to create a week where this fact can’t be ignored.” On Monday, the organization hosted a screening of the movie Freedom fol-

lowed by “Justice Talk at Bama Cru” at First United Methodist of Tuscaloosa on Tuesday. Alabama IJM will continue the week with a bake sale in the Ferguson Center and Night of Prayer on Wednesday. Thursday will be an event-filled day beginning with a rally at the steps of Gorgas Library at 7 p.m. Hess described the rally as a short but pow-erful moment to make a statement to our campus, our community and our-selves. Following the rally, AIJM will host a Women and Men’s Night. Women and Men’s Night creates an environment for men and women to gather sepa-rately and discuss their roles in the fight against human oppression. The women will meet at the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house and the men will meet at John Pickering’s Loft at 8 p.m., located across the street from the Children’s Hands on Museum. Midnight Madness, Alabama IJM’s largest fundraiser, will occur Friday night at the Rec Center. The event will begin at 9:45 p.m., and conclude at 2 a.m. Midnight Madness will feature a DJ, free food and include activities such as 3-on-3 basketball, dodge ball and Zumba classes. “We want to make a stand on our campus,” Hess said. “A person’s back-ground, political stance, hair color preference … none of it matters. Freedom is something we can all raise our voices for as a campus united.” For more information on the week’s events, visit Alabama IJM’s Facebook page, Justice Week 2012.

To an inattentive passerby, the Black Warrior River can appear to be an unadorned attraction unto itself — a reservoir of nature and time. But lying parallel to Jack Warner Parkway on the north side of cam-pus, the waterway now flows beside a new farmer’s market with enough space to host weddings, band per-formances and, of course, the sale of produce from local farmers. Yesterday afternoon, the City Council and Mayor Walt Maddox offi-cially opened the Tuscaloosa River Market after four years of planning and patience. City Councilman Lee Garrison, in addition to recognizing those who organized, designed and built the building, credited God for blessing Tuscaloosa with the riverfront market. “God gave me the spirit to make it hap-pen,” Garrison said as his throat clenched and eyes sprouted tears. “It takes a lot to get here, but I’m extremely happy, so I’m going to get cheered up now.” The market has six roll-up bay windows on each side of the building where farmers can unload produce onto product dis-plays. The sale of produce will take place on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 7 a.m. until noon. In front of the market proper, the building houses the Tuscaloosa Visitor’s Center and the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission. The market is a lesson in floor design. A heating system lies beneath the market’s floor to allow for the building to be warmed when cold nights sweep into Tuscaloosa, and the space crossing from one end of the building to the next leaves room

for more than 300 people to mingle comfortably. Overhead, two fans spin with blades the size of fence posts. “They’re low-velocity fans blowing more air than the typical fan, but at a slower rate,” said Eric Requist, who works with Ellis Architects, the firm responsible for the architecture and design of the market. He said the fans and the heat-

ing system allow the building to keep a temperature appropri-ate for a year-round facility. Although no final decision has been made to keep the River Market open perennially as a desti-nation for the sale of produce, the option is being considered, said the market’s director Christy Bobo.

Also, wireless Internet capability has been installed into the building, so students might be able to make use of the market as a study lounge, Bobo said. The fee for renting the market for a wedding or other event is $2,000, unless the patrons use the preferred food caterer, which drops the price to $1,700, she said. Bobo also said the move of the farmer’s market from downtown to a destination overlooking the Black Warrior River is an improvement. “Change can be alarming and a little scary, even when it’s good,” she said.

“We have so many trophies. W e have to make room for them,” Watson said. “But having too many trophies is a good problem to have.” Gaddy said that as Alabama fans, we have to remember that not every-one has the number of trophies, bowl game championships, nation-al championships, MVPs and All Americans as Alabama.

“We have to remember that they are all special,” Gaddy said. “Winning the trophy in the sixties is just as special to us as in 2011. This doesn’t happen everywhere.” The trophy on display at the muse-um is one of three models of the 2011 trophy. One is on display in the Mal Moore Athletic facility for recruiting purposes, and the other is the trav-eling trophy that has moved around the state and was on display in vari-ous Academy Sports. The BCS trophy in the museum is also accompanied by the 2011 McArthur Bowl trophy, awarded

each year to the national champion. This trophy is a traveling trophy that moves with each year’s BCS winner every ten months. Watson said that the crystal on the 2011 trophy is different than the other BCS trophies. This one has grooves to make it fit in the stand better. The 1992 trophy was also more of solid crystal, while the 2009 and 2011 trophies are more light-weight and hollow. “The base [of the trophy] hasn’t changed much, and the honor of winning it hasn’t changed at all,” Watson said.

While walking through the prom-enade and observing the protest, UA student Camille Harman asked a member of UA College Democrats to tell her more about SB5. She said that she heard about the bill through Facebook but didn’t know the details of it. “Now that I know what this bill is really about, I just think that it is ignorant,” she said. “It is so inva-sive. The government doesn’t know a person’s situation in order to tell

them what they can and can’t do with their body.” UA College Democrat member Noah Cannon shared Harman’s beliefs. Cannon said that the bill was foolishly written and refuses a woman the right to choose. “I have a fundamental belief that women have the right to decide what to do with their own uterus,” he said. “This bill represents a very invasive school of thought that restricts a woman’s freedom over her own body.” UA College Democrats further encourages everyone to go out and vote in November in order to ensure that SB5, and bills like it, never become law.

Date auction crowds get taste of local food

Many local establishments assembled booths around the auditorium, including Crimson Café, Bottomfeeders, Surin, Chuck’s, Innisfree, Zoe’s, Sweet’s Cupcakes, Mugshots, Sweet CeCe’s and Chloe’s Cup. “The event was such a suc-cess,” said Jenna Zoghby, direc-tor of UA Tastes. “This was the first year we have done this, and I was thrilled with the turnout.” Students were also able to enjoy the many new choices available around Tuscaloosa. Crimson Café advertised their recently revamped menu and atmosphere. Their changes include new menu items, an extensive beer selection and live music. Two new downtown dessert locations used the UA Tastes fundraiser to showcase their specialties. Sweet’s Cupcakes provided a variety of mini cup-cakes and gave away coupons for half-price icing shots, two-

ounce cups filled with flavored icing. “It was fun to be able to sam-ple their delicious cupcakes for free. I can’t wait to go to Sweet’s and get some more,” said Lauren Mendiola, a UA Tastes attendee. S weet CeCe’s, a new frozen yogurt shop downtown, served their three most popular fla-vors: kiwi strawberry, cheese-cake and chocolate. The date auction kicked off as student athletes, leaders, musi-cians and artists strutted down the stage, presenting them-selves for purchase. Early in the auction, IFC

president Drew Smyth and SGA president Stephen Swinson raised the pricing standards by receiving bids for more than $1,000. Although many bids did not reach that amount, most of the students enjoyed the opportu-nity to participate in the event. “It felt so great to be able to raise money for the SGA,” said SGA Sen. Jonathan Thompson, who danced for the audience. “I wish I would have said earlier, ‘If you outbid President Swinson, I will take you to eat at FIVE and to go shopping at the Summit.’”

‘Party’ funds scholarships with dance, memorabilia

By Ashley ChaffinLifestyles Editor [email protected]

By day, the stars of the UA Arty Party Fundraiser event “Dancing with the Bama Stars” are a dean, a vice chancellor of the UA System and a promi-nent alumnus. By night — or at least the night of March 31 — they will be dance stars. Kellee Reinhart, vice chan-cellor for system relations for the UA system, Robert Olin, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Pat Whetstone, a past director of the University of Alabama Alumni Association, will each take the stage with a dance major from the University. “The thing that I’m most excited about for this event is being able to perform for some of the people that run the University of Alabama,” said JJ Butler, a junior majoring in dance who will perform with Reinhart. The Arty Party started eight years ago when the College of Arts and Sciences Leadership Board decided to create an event that would raise money for the five art departments at UA, and also expose alum-ni to the talent currently on campus. This year, the depart-ment being showcased is the Department of Dance. Individual tickets for the

event start at $150 and go all the way up to $5000 for under-writer sponsorships. In the past, the event has primarily been for alumni and prominent members of the Tuscaloosa community. Rebecca Florence, director of public relations for the College of Arts and Sciences, said the event has been well received each year and raises anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 for scholar-ships. “People keep coming back every year,” she said. “We get calls from people asking when their invitations are coming.” Reinhart has attended and enjoyed the event in previous years. This year, she is looking forward to dancing the foxtrot with Butler. “My goal going into this was to see if I was capable of learn-ing something brand new,” Reinhart said. “Now, I wouldn’t give myself an ‘A’ and I’m not expecting a mirror ball trophy, but I’ve come along way.” During the performance, she’ll wear a vintage costume dress she borrowed from the theatre department. The dress even has the name of the origi-nal owner, Mrs. Sam Wiesel of a prominent Tuscaloosa fam-ily, sewn into it. She said her husband, who has come to every rehearsal and has been a great practice partner at home, joked that

this would be an opportunity for her to learn how to follow while they dance. “Dancing with Kellee [Reinhart] has been a blast,” Butler said. “We got along well, making it much easier to learn the steps and overall made it an enjoyable experi-ence. Dancing the foxtrot has been a challenge for her, but she caught on quickly, and the more we practiced the more comfortable it came to her.” Both Reinhart and Butler said the performance is what they are most looking forward to at Saturday’s event. They agree that the chance for stu-dents to showcase their talents to UA’s prominent alumni is a great opportunity. Cornelius Carter, director of the dance program, is happy to have the department of dance showcased in a year of such hard times for many families. “It has always been a spe-cial event, but I think it’s even more meaningful this year,” he said. “It’s more important than ever because we are facing really challenging times, and to assist a parent in getting their student to the University is an exciting thing. It gives us hope and the community hope while things are so difficult.” Besides the price of the tick-ets, the event uses a silent auc-tion to raise even more money for the department. In the past, some of the most popular items have been a football auto-graphed by Nick Saban, which went for $1,200, and a road trip with the Million Dollar Band, which went for $1,800. Both of these items will be auctioned off again this year. Among the other items are a pair of hand-cast silver elephant earrings, a tour of Bryant-Denny Stadium guid-ed by Mal Moore and various vacations. The invitation for the Arty Party also promises another dancer for the event only named as a “Crimson Tide star.”

It’s not every day I get excit-ed about an announcement for a new show at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, but on March 19, the legendary folk-rock group Crosby, Stills & Nash announced they would be embarking on an extensive U.S. tour this summer with a stop in Tuscaloosa on July 11. For those unfamiliar, Crosby, Stills & Nash are living leg-ends. Each member has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice (once as a vocal group). CSN formed in 1968 as a super-group of sorts, merging the creative minds of David Crosby, formerly of The Byrds, Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash of The Hollies. Throughout the course of their long and peculiar history, the group created a massive, lasting impact on the world of rock and roll through both their music and political activ-ism. Often collaborating with songwriting giant Neil Young to round out their Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young lineup, the group made a name for themselves with their famously intricate vocal harmonies and poignant political songwriting. The band became one of the

biggest voices for the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and 70s. Many of their songs take on subjects such as the Vietnam War and oppression, usually in unsubtle manners. One of their most famous songs, “Ohio,” written by Neil Young, reflects on the Kent State Massacre — a clash between anti-war protestors and the National Guard that left four students dead, nine wounded and calls out then-President Richard Nixon by name, a bold statement for their time. For fans wondering if they’re still any good, rest easy. The group still sounds as great as ever. Their voices have barely aged a bit, they’re still compe-tent musicians and, of course, their music is timeless. So if you’re pondering whether shelling out the money for these tickets is a good idea or not, be certain your dollar is being well spent. I definitely recommend catching these lynchpins of modern music his-tory as they roll through the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater on July 11. Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m., on April 6 at tiered prices of $32.25, $52.25 and $72.25. The band states that $1 from every ticket sale will go to charity.

Crosby, Stills & Nash as relevant now as ever

“Where is Duron Carter?” Go to any Alabama football event — a game, practice, press conference or even just a discus-sion among passionate fans — and you’re almost guaranteed to hear that question asked. Carter, the transfer wide receiver from Ohio State via Coffeyeville Community College, has been something of an enigma ever since his trans-fer was announced last spring. He was billed by ESPN, rivals and many of the other scouting services to have the potential to be the next breakout receiver for Alabama since the depar-ture of Julio Jones. Adding to the hype, he was supposed to wear number eight if he ever saw the field. But that’s the problem. He never did, and he still hasn’t. Academic issues and tran-

The mystery of Duron Carter: Where is the dynamic playmaker?COLUMN

By Morgan UptonSports [email protected]@Morgan_U

The No. 2 Alabama softball team pushed its winning streak against Auburn to 17 in a doubleheader Tuesday. Alabama won the first game 4-2 and the second game 5-2. Jackie Traina pitched both games in the doubleheader, allowing a com-bined five hits between the two games. Head coach Patrick Murphy spoke highly of Traina’s level of play, say-ing her endurance is just part of her nature. “I thought Jackie was great both games,” Murphy said. “We had about a 50 minute wait, and about 10-15 minutes into it I went over and said, ‘Are you ok? You feel good?’ She goes, ‘Yeah, I’m fine, I’m fine.’ And I said, ‘Well, I might start you again,’ and she said that’s fine. That’s just her. I thought she did great both games. She

just kept going on. She did a good job.” After a quick two-run homer by Cassie Reilly-Boccia in the first inning of the first game, the Tide jumped out to a 2-0 lead. A walk and two defensive errors would bring Auburn to 2-1 in the second inning. In the sixth, a home run by Amanda Locke and an RBI single from Ryan Iamurri gave Alabama a 4-1 lead. After retiring 15 consecutive bat-ters, Traina gave up a home run with one out left in the bottom of the

seventh inning, ending her no-hitter. Traina then retired the next batter to give Alabama the 4-2 win. Traina, who combined for more than 200 pitches on the night, was critical of the one hit she allowed in the game. “You can’t let it happen,” Traina said. “That last inning, two outs, I let up a home run, but I have a great team, a great defense behind me.” In game two, Auburn’s ace pitcher Jenne Loree held off the Tide in the early innings. Danae Hays started the scoring for the Tide in the fourth inning with an RBI single, scoring Kaila Hunt. With the Tide up 1-0 and two outs left in the inning, Auburn brought in Angel Bunner to relieve Loree. The Tide scored two more runs in the fourth: Courtney Conley scored on a throwing error, and Keima Davis scored on a double by Kayla Braud to take a 3-0 lead. Hunt followed up with a solo home run in the fifth to put the Tide up 4-0.

Traina continued to assert her dominance on the mound. After giv-ing up one hit in the first inning, Traina held steady until the fifth, when the Tigers got three hits and two runs to narrow the Tide’s lead to 4-2. After that, Traina shut the door on the Tigers. She didn’t allow any runs or hits for the rest of the night. “They [were] only two runs behind us in the last game and I was like, this can’t happen,” Traina said. “I’m just helping my team out as much as I can.” Another home run by Hunt in the top of the seventh gave Alabama a per-manent 5-2 lead. After struggling in the past few games, Hunt said Traina’s perfor-mance motivated the team. “Jackie’s out there pitching her butt off,” Hunt said. “She pitched 14 innings and it makes you want to do something for her because she’s doing something for you. You’ve got to sup-port her, you’ve got to score some runs for her.”

script problems kept Carter on the sidelines for the dura-tion of the 2011 season, and he was eventually given a red-shirt. He could only watch as Alabama won its 14th National Championship. Although, it’s not like he

didn’t contribute to the effort. He practiced with the team all of last season, giving the Alabama defensive backs a for-midable scout team receiver to go against in practice. The DBs all raved about Carter’s athletic ability and skill at the receiver

position. At one point, he even ran the scout team offense as a quarterback to get the Tide pre-pared for Jordan Jefferson at LSU. But every week, reporters asked Nick Saban if Carter had been cleared to play. Every week they got the same answer. For one reason or another — and many times those reasons were not made public — Carter could never be declared eligible to play, only to practice. And so we come to 2012. So far, the outlook is not good for Carter. Tide fans got a little ray of hope when Carter tweeted before spring practice, “Everyone asking if I’m going to play or not ... Guess we’ll see in the spring, but I’ll tell you this I’m still in Tuscaloosa #ROLLTIDE.” Well, we have seen in the spring, and Carter hasn’t been there. He hasn’t taken part in any of the workouts, and his

name was even taken off the online roster on Monday. Outside of Nick Saban and Carter himself, I’m not sure anybody has an idea of when or if Carter could see the field. Wide receiver Kevin Norwood was asked on Saturday if we will ever see Carter again. He simply shrugged his shoulders and said, “Your guess is as good as mine.” And that’s all anyone can really do at this point: guess. Carter would certainly be a wel-come addition to an Alabama receiving corps looking to replace three starters from last season, but that all seems like a pipe dream right now. The mystery of Duron Carter will be solved eventually. He’ll either immediately be one of the Tide’s most talented receivers, or be dismissed from the team entirely. But for now, all we can do is wait.

UA AthleticsWide Receiver Duron Carter has yet to play a down for the Tide.
