SABAN SAYS SEASON LIKELY
OVER FOR TIDE
RUNNING BACK
JALSTON FOWLER
By Marc Torrence
Assistant Sports Editor
Alabama junior running
back Jalston Fowler will
likely miss the remainder
of the 2012 season due to a
knee injury, head coach Nick
Saban told reporters Monday.
Fowler injured his knee
during Saturdays game vs.
Western Kentucky and will
need surgery to repair the
damage. He was carted off
the field in obvious pain and
did not return to the game.
I know he feels badly,
Saban said. We feel badly,
too, for him that he cant
be a part and be able to
contribute to our team
this year.
Saban did not disclose the
exact nature of the injury and
did not discount a return to
the field late in the season.

Rounders Bar, a well-
known bar on the Strip
that was torn down for
reconstruction in June,
is on track to reopen
in November. The own-
ers plan to open their
back room within a few
weeks.
When the whole bar
reopens in November, it
will feature three venues
and a rooftop bar. Prior
to renovations, Rounders
could host 290 people.
When it fully reopens, its
maximum capacity will
rise to 870 people.
We are doing a bath-
room renovation upstairs,
downstairs we are doing a
full remodel and upstairs
we are adding a rooftop
bar, owner Grant McCabe
said.
M c C a b e
and co-own-
er Corey
White made
the decision
to remodel in
April but did
not expect
the process
to still be
going on dur-
ing football
season.
We expected to have the
whole thing done by about
this time, McCabe said.
We will have the back-
room open by the second
home game.
McCabe and White said
they wanted to do a down-
stairs renovation and add
an accessible rooftop for
quite some time now.
We never
really have
been a fan
of the down-
stairs since
we bought
it, McCabe
said.
The new
3,000 square
foot rooftop,
e q u i p p e d
wi t h an
upscale TV and large
couches, will hang over the
sidewalk of the Strip and
will be able to legally hold
350 people, McCabe said.

This semesters Get on Board
Day will be Tuesday from 5 to
10 p.m. on the Ferguson Plaza.
This will be the first time the
biannual event has been held
in the evening rather than dur-
ing the afternoon.
The later start time is an
effort to merge Get on Board
Day and Plaza Live into an
event that attracts more stu-
dents, said Source Director of
Organizational Outreach D.J.,
Jackson said.
What we determined is that
we wanted to adopt the feel of
Plaza Live, but keep the interac-
tive element of connecting stu-
dents with involvement oppor-
tunities like the Get on Board
Days of the past,Jackson said.
Our goal that we hope will
take place this year, is to create
a more engaging GOBD expe-
rience for both students and
organizations.
More than 200 student
organizations are expected to
promote at the event, in addi-
tion to nonprofits, UA depart-
ments and local vendors.
The Community Service
Center is always striving for
the best ways to reach students
and help them become involved
in some type of meaningful ser-
vice during their time at the
University, Haley Clemmons,
student director of public
relations and outreach at the
Community Service Center,
said. Get on Board Day allows
us to speak directly with new
and returning students to not
only inform them about vol-
unteer opportunities, but get
them excited, as well.
The revamped event will also
feature live entertainment on
the Get on Board stage and will
integrate technology by allow-
ing students with QR scanners
to scan barcodes to connect
immediately with an organiza-
tion that interests them.

Ask Jonathan Burkpo
about Paty Hall and hell tell
you the entire floor smells
like sweat and stale smoke.
The air is thick and wet,
like a locker room, making
everything slightly damp.
A rickety air condition-
ing unit keeps his room cool,
but its loud and the air is so
musty that he ties a scent-
ed freshener onto the vent
just to beat back the funk.
But Burkpo hadnt expected
much when he moved in last
month.
He knew the 50-year-old
dorms reputation and he
knew that losing the housing
race against 7000 other fresh-
men would mean one thing: A
long, hard semester in what
some call the Paty Projects.
I was like, OK, itll be Paty,
Ill deal with it, he said.
Then the first day I moved in
I was like, OK, I gotta move
out.
Burkpo had aimed for one
of the new suite-style dorms,
the ones that make Patys
cramped doubles look like
field barracks. Instead of
four-bedroom suites, a Paty
dorm has painted cinder-
block walls and a ceramic
sink that makes the place feel
oddly like a prison cell.
Instead of private bath-
rooms, Paty has a row of graf-
fitied shower stalls that spray
scalding water whenever
someone flushes the toilet.
Paty Hall residents unied despite negative conditions, reputation

Paty, an all-male dorm on campus, was built to last up to 75 years.
No plans to demolish
50-year-old building

NEWS | GET ON BOARD DAY

Patys brand of vintage college
living may be on the out. The
University has added 3,000 new
private bedrooms in the last sever-
al years and a second Presidential
Village will be completed by the
time Burkpo starts his sophomore
year. The first one came with the
demolition of Rose Towers.
Could Paty be next on Housings
hit list?
The short answer, according to
Housing Administration Director
Alicia Browne, is no.
Ive been here seven years and
Ive heard that rumor every year,
she said. Theres no truth to it.
In fact Paty, which turned 50
this year, may actually outlive the
brand new Presidential Village.
The building, a slab of steel
and cement, was built to last up
to 75 years, three times as long
as the new, wood-framed dorms.
Furthermore, suite-style dorms
are still a relatively new trend
while traditional residence halls
like Paty, Tutwiler and Burke still
make up most on-campus hous-
ing, and, Browne said, they arent
going anywhere any time soon.
As for the cold floors and
shared showers, she said thats
not squalor, its just college.
That was the standard until
very recently, Browne said. A
lot of it has to do with the way
this college student generation
was raised. Theyre used to hav-
ing their own bedroom, their own
bathroom. Its just a different set
of expectations.
Burkpos neighbor Colby
Moller is from California and he
didnt know anything about the
dorms beforehand. He picked
Paty for the lower price.
Its basic, but thats pretty
much what I expected, he said.
But content or not, even
Moller suspects Paty is at the
bottom of the housing barrel.
In his bathroom, he said usu-
ally at least two of the six toi-
lets are clogged and full, and
the door to one stall looks like
someone tried to melt it with a
Bic lighter. Supposedly there is
a ping-pong room, but its always
locked. The media room consists
of a handful of mismatched desk
chairs around a old, projection
TV with a thumb-sized gash
down the middle of the screen.
Do you have an opinion about
Paty Hall? Moller asked floor-
mate Stewart Chadler in the
hallway.
Theres vomit on the floor
over there, Chadler said.
But Moller likes Paty, busted
TV and all. The residents band
together to make the best of the
dorms glitches, and while his
friends at Ridgecrest hole up
in their private rooms, Moller
knows most of the people in his
hall by name.
The rooms are basic, so
youre always out meeting peo-
ple, he said.
Browne agreed and said she
worried that the increased pri-
vacy of private bedrooms may
come at the loss of an important
part of college life.
We have to learn to compro-
mise in different areas, she
said. There is a lot to be gained
in situations where people have
to communicate and cooperate.
Burkpo and Moller live next
to Gabe Mcmahan, who ended
up in Paty because it was the
only space left. He said he
despises the building, but still
finds a sense of pride behind
Patys grimy reputation. He
takes the scalding showers and
vomit-stained floors as badges
of honor, and in fact, the only
thing that really bothers him is
that guy on the fourth floor who
leaves the curtain open when he
showers.
This naked man needs to
know the tyranny of his ways,
Mcmahan said.
Without much else to do, he
spends time wandering between
rooms, or sitting around with the
group that gathers out front to
chat and smoke cigarettes until
the small hours of the morning.
I go to Presidential every
night and people just sit in their
dorms, Mcmahan said. Patys a
piece of crap, but damn it, were
united.

The 6-foot-1, 242-pound
bruiser primarily played
backup running back during
his Crimson Tide career, but
had seen time at H-back and
fullback this season, a new
wrinkle in new offensive coor-
dinator Doug Nussmeiers
system. Fowlers size also
made him the go-to back in
short-yardage and goal line
situations.
Jalstons been a great play-
er in the program, Saban
said. A great special teams
guy, a great backup player for
us and a really good attitude
guy and has lots of character.
A really good competitor.
The loss of Fowler leaves
the Tide with only three ful-
ly-healthy options at running
back, all of which are fresh-
men. Starter Eddie Lacy has
been limited by an ankle inju-
ry and missed all of spring
practice with a toe injury.
True freshman T.J. Yeldon
opened eyes with his season-
opening performance against
Michigan, rushing for over
100 yards for the first time
in Crimson Tide history as a
debuting freshman. Redshirt
freshman Dee Hart is a small-
er back at 5-foot-9, 190 lbs.
and true freshman Kenyan
Drake scored on a 32-yard
run late in Saturdays game
against Western Kentucky.
We have backups at every
one of the positions and roles
that he filled. There may not
be one particular guy, Saban
said. At running back, Dee
Hart, Kenyan Drake will have
a little more opportunity.
Kelly [Johnson] was his back-
up at fullback, which is where
he plays anyway. Its going
to take a number of people to
replace him in various roles
that he played on our team.
If Fowler does not return
to the field in 2012, he would
be eligible for a medical red-
shirt, which would allow him
to return in 2013 as a junior
and not lose a year of eligibil-
ity.
Were all going to pray for
Jalston that hopefully hell
get back out there soon,
wide receiver Kevin Norwood
said. But the only thing
we really can do is move on
and make sure everybody is
focused and preparing right
for [Arkansas].

Tides Fowler likely
out for entire season
By Chandler Wright
Contributing Writer
A former ambassador told stu-
dents Monday their major would
not be a deciding factor in pur-
suing a career in foreign service
with the State Department at a
colloquium on Cuba, the Central
Intelligence Agency and Cubas
Relations with the United States.
They dont look at what you
studied, they look at what you
can do from now on, former
Ambassador Lino Gutierrez
said. You just have to look in the
mirror and figure out what you
really care about.
Gutierrez, who represented
the United States in Argentina
and Nicaragua, met with stu-
dents before the event, alongside
Cuban analyst and author Brian
Latell and Robert Blau, the State
Department Advisor to Maxwell
Air Force Base.
Ive always been interested in
the CIA, and Ive always heard
things about it and heard sto-
ries about other people and their
families, Yostina Banuob, a New
College student, said. I just
thought it would be really cool to
work for them somehow.
Students asked questions
about getting involved with the
State Department, taking the
Foreign Service Officer Test and
dealing with the hardest parts of
the job.
Everything hinges on the
Foreign Service exam, Gutierrez
said.
Its a meritorious organi-
zation, Gutierrez said. The
person who passes the Foreign
Service exam is essentially the
person who reads Time maga-
zine from cover to cover.
Latell shed light on some of the
hostility that is faced by foreign
service and intelligence officers
while discussing his new book,
Castros Secrets: The CIA and
Cubas Intelligence Machine.
[Cubas intelligence agency]
is the best, or among the two or
three best, referring to its ability
to recruit and run double agents,
its ability in counterintelligence,
and its ability to plant moles and
spies and penetration agents
right in the heart of its enemy,
Latell said.
Blau served in the U.S. inter-
est section in Havana, Cuba.
He explained that an inter-
est section is like an embassy
but provides a second level of
representation for the U.S.
without an ambassador.
Blau talked about a verbal dis-
agreement he had with a mem-
ber of the Cuban government. In
response to this disagreement,
Blau said that Cuban officials
broke into his house and poisoned
his family dog.
This was not the only conflict
facing foreign officers discussed
Monday afternoon. Students
asked the speakers about the
challenges of following orders
and maintaining personal val-
ues.
What you find out is that, by
and large, the foreign policy of
the United States on any specific
country or any specific issue you
can think of doesnt really change
that much from Republicans to
Democrats, Blau said.
Gutierrez said he never felt
like he needed to resign or com-
promise his morals throughout
his foreign service career.
You support democracy;
you support human rights,
Gutierrez said. The people I
saw resign in my 29 years, some
were seeking publicity. Others
may have had good reasons,
but I never felt that I was being
asked to do something that was
against my principles.
Banuob said that she wants
to work for the CIA or the State
department someday.
Ive always wanted to study
international relations, and Ive
always wanted to go into law
and all that stuff, Banuob said.
I always research so many dif-
ferent things that you could do
with it.
Major not deciding factor for foreign service career
It sounds kind of ridic-
ulous, but I think it will
work, White said.
McCabe described
the newly remolded
Rounders as three ven-
ues in one where students
will have the option to
either listen to live music
downstairs or listen to a
DJ upstairs. Those seek-
ing to escape the noise
will also be able to social-
ize on the rooftop bar.
Rounders is differ-
ent; its diverse, Austin
Alldredge, a junior at The
University of Alabama,
said. It appeals to all
crowds: football players,
Greeks, ragers et cetera.
McCabe said he has
always had the intention
to bring something differ-
ent to Alabama.
We take a bunch of
trips to Vegas, McCabe
said. That Vegas atmo-
sphere is what we went
for when we did the
upstairs, because there
really isnt anything like
that to offer here.

Organizations can also
sign up for a spotlight seg-
ment on our GOBD stage,
where they can broad-
cast more information
about their organization,
Jackson said.
Though the event tradi-
tionally targets new stu-
dents, Jackson said GOBD
can be informative for
returning students.
One of the privileges of
attending such a dynami-
cally growing university
is that new organizations
are created throughout
the year, and many return-
ing students will have an
opportunity to see those
at Get on Board Day along-
side the first year stu-
dents, said Jackson.

ested in learning more

Campus dining service pro-
grams Bama Cash and Dining
Dollars are widely used across
campus for meals and late-
night study snacks, but they
can also be a source of confu-
sion for freshman and upper-
classmen alike.
Some students may confuse
the programs or the venues
that accept each, but under-
standing how these two pro-
grams work is important so
that students can learn how to
best use them for their benefit.
Undergraduate students
enrolled in nine or more hours
are part of the Dining Dollars
program. A fee of $300 is auto-
matically charged to their stu-
dent account for their fall and
spring semesters.
This equates to $17.65 per
week or $2.52 per day available
for students to use.
Dining Dollars are intended
to support on-campus dining
needs, said Kristin Hopton-
Jones, director of university
dining services. And [they]
provide a variety of options
conveniently located around
campus to promote commu-
nity.
Dining Dollars can be used
at all Bama Dining locations
on campus. This includes
restaurants in the Ferguson
Center and Lloyd Hall, vend-
ing machines and dining halls.
Buffalo Phils on the Strip and
Dominos also accept Dining
Dollars.
Businesses that are part
of the Dining Dollars pro-
grams are contracted through
ARAMARK food services, not
UA, Hopton-Jones said.
I like the system overall
because my freshman year
there were late nights that
I would stay up studying,
and it was easy for me to call
Dominos, Chassidy Cook, a
sophomore majoring in athe-
letic training, said. I could use
Dining Dollars instead of hav-
ing to pay out of my pocket.
In order to be considered
exempt from the Dining
Dollars program a student
must be married or head of
their household, Hopton-Jones
said. Head of household is
defined as an individual who
supports and maintains one or
more individuals in a house-
hold.
The exemption form can
be found on the Bama Dining
website and support documen-
tation must be provided with
the form.
Unused Dining Dollars roll
over to Bama Cash at the end
of each semester. However, if
students do not want their din-
ing dollars to roll over to the
Bama Cash system, they may
request a refund of their din-
ing dollars at the end of the
spring semester.
The funds will be credited
to their student account under
student receivables, said
Hopton-Jones.
Cook said she wishes she
had known about this refund
system earlier in her career
at UA. She said she may have
been more conscientious when
spending her Dining Dollars.
The request form can be
found on the Bama Dining
website and must be taken
to the Bama Dining Office in
Lakeside dining after April 15
in the spring.
Bama Cash is the UA dining
currency program that func-
tions similar to a debit card.
Unlike the Dining Dollars
program, students are able to
add funds to their Bama Cash
account. Then they are able to
use them at over 75 off-campus
locations across Tuscaloosa.
Bama Cash was created
because community business
owners wished to participate
in a UA debit program, Cathy
Andreen, UA spokeswoman,
said.
Andreen said businesses
have to apply to become Bama
Cash vendors.
Bama Cash is also the cur-
rency system used for cop-
ies and printing as well
as for laundry services
across campus.
Dining programs offer variety of meal options

The jobs number that Julian Castro
cited was the 4.5 million private sector
jobs created since the trough of that
statistic early in 2009 So it may not
have been the most qualied state-
ment, but Julian Castros number is a
better metric than net jobs since day
one.

My visits to doctors offices
date back to childhood. Life and
illness progressed parallel to
one another. In my adolescent
years, as the entrapped patient,
I looked upon the world of
medicine with cynicism, after a
chronic disease diagnosis at 12.
My father and mother worked
at The University of Alabama,
and consequently, I received top
notch health coverage.
But in the clinic, Id look away
when doctors sent patients
to the second floor of UAB
Hospitals Kirklin Clinic, where
the patient billing department
stood solemnly, awaiting those
who couldnt afford the costs of
health maintenance that ranged
from clinic visits to regular
tests.
When my doctors deemed
transplantation the final, cure-
all treatment for my deteriorat-
ing health, I disregarded the
costs of the procedure. I thought
treatment was my right. My text-
books taught me America was
based in equality of opportunity.
Treatment was my only option
to move on, to go to college, to
live. But when all was said and
done, I came out of UAB Hospital
with a hospital bill exceeding a
million dollars, after a stay of
nearly five months.
Transplantation wouldnt
have been a feasible option my
senior year of high school if it
werent for my extensive cover-
age. But even with such a fine
premium, my family and I stood
at a crossroads, for Id already
taxed my insurance for years
with the costs of expensive medi-
cation Id used prior to the trans-
plant. I was approaching whats
commonly known as an insur-
ance cap, an undisclosed limit
when an insurance agency will
stop providing coverage for an
individual.
As I recovered from trans-
plant, parts of President Obamas
Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act materialized. An insur-
ance company could no longer
place lifetime dollar limits on
policies. Before its passage,
not only could my coverage be
capped off without notice, but if I
were to leave my parents policy,
every insurance company would
be reluctant to take me on. In a
purely capitalist insurance mar-
ket, Id be a cost risk. Now, the
law eliminates insurance compa-
nies ability to deny coverage for
pre-existing conditions.
What many people dont
realize is that the pre-existing
condition clause is closely tied
to the individual mandate,
the more notorious clause of
PPACA, which penalizes those
who do not purchase any type of
coverage. If the individual man-
date and pre-existing clause
werent in place concurrently
when people became ill, they
would immediately purchase
insurance and insurance agen-
cies couldnt deny them cover-
age because of the pre-existing
clause.
These reforms are necessary
because for those with insur-
ance, bankruptcy from medical
costs becomes less reality and
more worst-case-scenario. How
could I foresee being born into
this body, to this family, at this
time? I never asked for a heart
that failed or lungs that choked.
It could happen to anyone. What
about my freedom from disease?
Paul Starr, a Pulitzer-Prize win-
ning Professor of Sociology and
Public Affairs at Princeton, puts
it best: Health itself is a matter
of personal freedom. To be ill
and debilitated is to be less free.
To be made destitute by sick-
ness, and therefore dependent
on others, is also to be less free.
Many argue the purchase of
health insurance should be a
choice. To them, it is a matter
of freedom. I understand this
concern, but its naive to think
anyone has the foresight to pre-
dict disease. Because of this,
the mandate requires everyone
purchase some form of health
insurance by 2014. This will
prevent Americans from sink-
ing into insurance funds only
when they get sick. Insurance is
a safety net, not something you
buy when you get ill.
I have a hard time digesting
the traditional argument against
the individual mandate that it
limits freedom because of per-
sonal struggles. I am usually a
proponent of the free market,
but I think healthcare requires
an approach that is less mercan-
tile. Patients arent commercial
products that compete in the
free market based on the cost of
their risk. Its a heartless system
that begs for reform, and what
we call Obamacare has done
that, substantially reorganiz-
ing healthcare to make it more
accessible and affordable for
those who need it most.

Obamacare provides freedom in the realm of health, life
By Lucy Cheseldine
Staff Columnist
As I sat in the concrete theme
park, staring into the disappoint-
ment of cheese sauce, I thought I
had slipped from this reality into
a television show. I found myself
day-dreaming of the years Id
given over to American films
which were now being played out
in front of me, the processed hot
dogs and pretty faces.
I envisaged all the crimson
couples sneaking off to drive-ins,
breaking into the darkened stadi-
um when the sun had gone down,
when it is vulnerable and naked,
not knowing what to do without
players or fans, to sit together
and quietly caress. These couples
would end up in a chain restau-
rant where the lights never turn
off and then they would get mar-
ried and have children and inhabit
the suburbs, silently submissing
to a life of lawns and school plays.
I was numb with imagination,
thinking of all the testosterone
and beer, all the chants and ritu-
als and saw it all tailing off
into the night like a distant
dream. The
American dream. The crimson
dream.
This is not simply a sport, but
a way to live, a religion and very
unique. I have never been to a
sporting event at which the match
itself bows to the demand of tele-
vision, stopping for commercial
breaks as if we have momentari-
ly suspended the life we knew
before and given ourselves up to
the world of billboards and dis-
count furniture.
Ill give it to you, you know
how to entertain. For a girl who
doesnt like football, I never
once felt bored. In fact I didnt
know where to look -- the band,
the cheerleaders, the spectators
or the game itself. Alabama has
put on a performance, timed to
perfection. How many hours of
practice this takes I cannot begin
to understand, but in this culture
of dedication to the game, I can
believe it.
As the drunk guy behind me
shouts, Football, we live it!
Everyday of every year! Three
hundred and sixty-five I think,
yes, thats how many days are in a
year and yes, I do wonder at times
how you can gain an education
untouched by this game in a town
that runs on Saturday tailgates
and the anticipation of the next
match. Football fuel.
A real life crimson tide had
drowned the town. And, as my
still slightly drunk self stumbled
through the quad on Saturday
morning to find a T-shirt for the
game, I almost felt swept away. It
had the atmosphere of a circus.
I was wearing black and I had
to get a crimson T-shirt. People
were everywhere and, in my
usual efficient fashion, I chose
the first mildly unobtrusive and
subtle shirt I could find.
With the T-shirt down, I picked
a solitary shaker up off the floor,
and I was half way to looking
like I belonged there. Im not
normally one to get caught up in
things but its nearly inevitable
in a town that silences all other
voices except those singing the
fight song.
Even the political and religious
junkies played their part as I saw
homemade, felt-tip pen enthused
republican banners backing
one of the tailgates, professing
Romney, Ryan, Roll Tide,
a tent
of polo
shirts and golf memberships.
Every aspect of life in this town
is filtered through the lens of this
sport. Its as if Im wearing crim-
son-tinted glasses, a world high
on football pride.
I appreciate that pride can be a
beautiful thing, but near fear hit
me as I felt that I would never see
the world in real-time color again.
One woman I met was frantical-
ly reeling off statistics about last
season. She had clearly been pay-
ing close attention to the teams
every move and wanted to make
sure I was up to scratch. You
know, she said, some people
here in Tuscaloosa have never
been to a game before, so you
should appreciate this opportu-
nity.
And I did, with every part of my
body and mind. I indulged. I flirt-
ed with the game and, for a while,
I felt like we might be getting
somewhere, but after walking
away from the field and seeing the
blue sky again, I felt a small relief
that it hadnt turned crimson and
questioned how much longer this
romance could last.

I am usually a proponent of the free market, but I think healthcare requires an ap-
proach that is less mercantile. Patients arent commercial products that compete in
the free market based on the cost of their risk.
Every student pays
the same amount
of money for foot-
ball tickets, so its
not unreasonable to
expect every student
to follow the same
rules when it comes
to football seating.
Unfortunately, that is not the case at The
University of Alabama, where some student groups
are given blocks of seats in the south end zone of
Bryant-Denny Stadium. Those seats are reserved
until 45 minutes before kick-off.
The blocks are so big they give benefiting orga-
nizations 70 percent more seats than they need to
accommodate their members, mostly so men in fra-
ternities can bring guests and dates. Students privi-
leged enough to have access to block seating dont
only have seats reserved for themselves, but they
also have seats saved for others they invite.
This system is grossly unfair to women and minor-
ities. Sororities, for instance, regularly lead the
greek community in grade point averages and com-
munity service and could expect prime placement
if they applied for block seating. This year, though,
only one sorority applied for and got block seating,
while 28 all-male organizations received blocks.
For most greek women, and most women on cam-
pus, access to block seating is determined entirely
by who invites them to a game.
Block seating is also discriminatory, as the greek
organizations that fill most of the section are racially
segregated.
This year, there were some improvements in the
way block seating applications were scored. Instead
of a student-led committee divvying up blocks, appli-
cations were graded by an automated system devel-
oped by a third-party company. Some organizations
saw their seats moved further back as a result, while
other organizations benefited from a system that
fairly evaluated their academic and service perfor-
mance.
Most of the credit for these improvements goes to
SGA President Matt Calderone, who showed lead-
ership in implementing a system that removed the
subjective human element from the application
scoring process. The SGA also reduced the number
of student seats reserved for block seating, reversing
an unwise decision by UA administrators to expand
block seating last season.
For most students, though, simply rearranging
organizations on a chart does nothing to address the
inherent unfairness of giving select students prefer-
ential treatment while others line-up hours ahead of
kick-off hoping for a good seat.
Gamedays are our one opportunity, as a student
body, to present a unified face cheering the Crimson
Tide to victory. Once in the stadium, we shouldnt
be separated based on our race, our gender or the
organizations weve joined.
We all buy the same tickets, and we are all cheer-
ing for the same team. We should all sit together,
in one student section with uniform rules for every
ticketholder.
While this years block seating process was a huge
improvement over years past, the only way to elimi-
nate the divisiveness and discrimination block seat-
ing perpetuates is to get rid of it.
Our View is the consensus of The Crimson White edi-
torial board.
Women, minorities
cheated by system
In short: Changes
to block seating
dont address
its biggest
issues.

With football season in full
swing, now is the time to save
up money for those long game
day weekends and away game
trips, and one of the best ways to
save time and cash is by making
grocery lists and planning your
meals ahead of time.
For students looking to bet-
ter their cooking at home, the
new app Food on the Table
is designed to facilitate mak-
ing grocery lists and planning
meals. The app is available for
free in the iTunes App store and
Android Marketplace, requir-
ing only an email address or
Facebook login to sign up.
The app takes you through
steps to help better organize
your grocery shopping. Users
can select which stores they use
for shopping, what food they
usually purchase and choose
options for gluten-free, vegetar-
ian and low carb.
The program also compares
prices of stores you select by
location. For example, I chose to
compare Target on 13th Avenue
East and Publix on University
Boulevard. At Publix I can buy
one, get one for free on chicken
breast. Target does not have
a sale on chicken breast this
week.
After seeing sale items at the
store, users can look up recipes
to cook for the week. The user
can then see exactly what needs
to be purchased, facilitating the
shopping process and freeing
up time.
Many news outlets such
as Oprah, Forbes and CBS 42
Birmingham have praised this
app for helping them cook great
meals without slaving for hours.
Personally, I have very limited
time to plan meals each week
and make a grocery list. I will
inevitably forget an ingredi-
ent I need and have to make an
additional trip back to the store;
however, this app could save the
headache and the extra effort.
Join over one million families
and save up to $40 a month at
more than 16,000 grocery stores
using this top-rated, healthy,
meal planning and organized
grocery list app, reads the
description from the iTunes App
Store which has also received
four out of five stars in ratings.
For students looking to save
time and money, but not sacri-
fice good food and taste, Food
on the Table can make meal-
times more of a possibility.

New app, Food on the Table, provides
better way to plan grocery shopping
By Francie Johnson
Contributing Writer
Its 9 p.m. on a Wednesday
night, and while campus has
become quiet, the sound of
Steppenwolfs Magic Carpet
Ride blares from the basement
of the Sigma Nu fraternity house.
The Doctors and the Lawyers, a
UA student band, are warming
up for a night of practice.
The Doctors and the Lawyers,
formed in September 2011, is the
product of random roommate
assignments, mutual friends
and a Lead Guitarist Wanted
flyer. The band members had
never met prior to attending
the University, but lead vocalist
Evan Brooks, a junior majoring
in marketing and management,
said they share an unspoken con-
nection when it comes to music.
Ill come with lyrics [and]
have no idea what the song is
going to sound like at all, and
theyll just jam and itll fit,
Brooks said.
Brooks is the bands lead
vocalist and rhythm guitarist,
and Zach Pline plays the bass.
Taylor Atkinson mans the piano
and sings backup vocals with
Chris Wilhelm, another lead gui-
tarist. On the drums is Jordan
Kumler.
With influences ranging from
the Avett Brothers to The Black
Keys to Stevie Wonder, the
Doctors and the Lawyers strive
to have claim to a sound thats
their own.
Ive probably seen every live
band that plays in Tuscaloosa,
and Ive never heard one that
plays the same stuff as we do,
Brooks said. I feel like its
pretty easy to just go out there
and play your Wagon Wheels
and your Cant You Sees and
Sweet Home Alabamas not
to discredit those songs, but you
wanna hear something else now
and then.
Wilhelm, a junior majoring in
chemical engineering, said the
band members diverse musical
backgrounds play a crucial role
in developing their distinctive
sound.
We all have our own visions,
our own style, so well get
together and well try to play a
song, and it will just kind of meld
everything together and just
turn into something good, he
said.
The band had an opportunity
this summer to record some of
their music in a renowned studio
in New York City.
Gabe Menendez, the bands
manager, showed the demo CD to
his friend at KMA Studios in New
York City. The Doctors and the
Lawyers were invited to record
at the studio, adding their names
to a long list of the studios artists
including Alicia Keys, Beyonce,
Jay-Z and Paul Simon.
Songs dont always translate
well in the studio, though.
I remember when we first
recorded our original songs, we
tried to go down to the studio and
do All Along the Watchtower
and spent three hours on it and
just couldnt get it right, Pline,
a junior majoring in economics,
said.
The band members agree that
when theyre playing live shows,
their true passion for music
shines through.
We always try and top our-
selves, Wilhelm said. Whatever
song we have well go do some-
thing really awesome and be like,
That was awesome. I wonder if
we can do better than that.
As rewarding as being in a
band can be, the members find it
challenging to balance the band
with school and other activities.
For me, the only time I have
to myself, I use to practice,
Atkinson said. I mean, I love
doing it, but I dont have any time
other than that.
Despite the sacrifices it takes
to be musicians, the band mem-
bers agreed they are in it for the
long haul, despite pressure from
family and friends to find regu-
lar work in a tough economy. For
these five individuals, music is
more than a hobby; they hope to
someday turn it into a career.
Our band name is the Doctors
and the Lawyersbut the thing
is, our goal is to not turn out as
doctors and lawyers, Wilhelm
said.
The Doctors and the Lawyers
hope to release their first album
in mid-October. For more infor-
mation visit their Facebook

The University of Alabama
Recreation Center has made a
new addition to their fall class
schedule, adding two Barre
Fitness classes on Mondays and
Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:20 p.m.
Barre Fitness, an increasingly
popular workout among young
women, is a progressive workout
based on ballet barre exercises,
starting with smaller move-
ments and progressing to larger
and more involved movements
throughout the class period.
Jenna Reynolds, a sophomore
majoring in Spanish and phi-
losophy, said she enjoys how the
class is a full-body workout.
The Barre Fitness class was
a really fun twist on traditional
elements of the barre combined
with upbeat music, Reynolds
said. It was definitely a serious
workout.
Whitney Spota, coordina-
tor of group exercise at the
Recreation Center said the barre
fitness trend was an element
the Recreation Center had yet
to explore in the schedule until
this year.
In the fitness world, you have
to constantly keep up with the
trends, and my job is to see that
we do that, Spota said.
Although there are currently
only two classes being offered,
the Rec Center is considering
the possibility of adding more
to the schedule for spring
semester.
We want to see how well it
does before we add more [class-
es], Spota said. We always do a
little test to see how participants
respond, and so far we have had
a great response.
Mallory Haney, a graduate
student studying counselor
Barre tness classes come to the Rec Center
education and instructor of both
Barre Fitness classes, said the
Recreation Center has been
busy since school started back,
and barre class attendance is
picking up as well.
People are starting to hear
about the class and they are
wanting to try it out, Haney
said.
She also said the day when
the Recreation Centers general
attendance was lowest since the
start of the fall semester was the
day that the Barre Fitness class
had its highest attendance since
the class has started, and she is
also beginning to recognize the
faces of those attending the class
on a regular basis.
The requests for a barre
based class came flowing in
after Tuscaloosa got its own
Pure Barre studio on McFarland
Boulevard in August. Pure Barre
studio offers similar type classes
with a variety of membership
packages and other services
available.
For some students, like
Reynolds, they are willing to
try a class at Pure Barre but are
more inclined to attend to class-
es at the Recreation Center for
variety, convenience and cost.
I prefer to try the Rec classes
because there is such a variety
of choice, Reynolds said.
Pure Barres presence aside,
many think attendance to the
Recreation Centers classes will
continue to rise.
You cant beat a free class,
Spota said. I think a lot of our
participants will stick to our
classes, but you cant blame
them for being curious and
wanting to try something else.
You have to find a class that
works for you.

Staff Reporter
The University of Alabama
womens tennis team is prepar-
ing to begin its fall campaign with
confidence from the teams suc-
cess last year.
The Crimson Tide saw its
strongest season in school his-
tory in 2012 under head coach
Jenny Mainz. The coach saw her
ninth national championship
appearance with the Tide last
year and hopes her team will use
the momentum and confidence
from last years success to propel
it into this season.
The team made it to the
SEC semifinals before Georgia
overtook the Tide, winning 4-3.
The women then competed
as the No. 8 seed in the NCAA
Championship. The Tide also sent
three players to the NCAA singles
and doubles championship.
Mainz said a key aspect of her
teams success last year was the
dynamic between the players.
While the team has not played
in a match together this year,
Mainz is confident the players
will mesh as well as they have in
previous years.
What weve done through
time is build a strong, sound
program where, regardless of
whos coming in, they fit into
the dynamic of team player, she
said. Very enthusiastic, good
energy, they compete hard, their
best tennis is still in front of
them.
This dynamic led senior Alexa
Guarachi and junior Mary Anne
Mcfarlane to compete in singles
at the NCAA Championship last
year. Gaurachi entered last years
national championship seeded
No. 7 for singles and has returned
this year for her senior season.
Her experience and enthusiasm
has prepared her for a great
senior campaign, Mainz said.
Mcfarlane returns this year
as an All-American and a
leader. Mainz said the junior
has held this position each
year she has played for the
Tide in what is one of the most
Womens tennis team looks to start season strong
By Rebekah Dye

The Alabama volleyball team
is off to its best start in six
years after a 4-0 tournament
this weekend. The Tide holds
a record of 10-1 heading into
Tuesdays game against the
Samford Bulldogs.
This is the most wins weve
had in a preseason since Ive
been here, senior Kayla Fitterer
said. Our confidence is up,
which is really good to go into
SECs. Samford will be a really
tough game on Tuesday leading
up to it.
Fitterer has been nursing a
foot injury but played two of
the four games from the tour-
nament. She is now cleared to
play every game from here on
out, which is good news for this
Crimson Tide team. This season,
Fitterer has posted 76 kills, a .221
hitting percentage, and is some-
one that the team looks to head-
ing into the upcoming weeks.
The main thing for us is we
want her healthy as we begin
SEC play, head coach Ed
Allen said.
With Fitterer being out and
the new freshmen on the team,
the Tide hasnt been able to
field a steady lineup. Even so,
Alabama has made progress as
a team and has seen potential
form in its new members.
Considering how many new
people we have, were doing
pretty well, freshman outside
hitter Laura Steiner said. Weve
been trying a lot of things with
the lineup, especially with Kayla
being injured, and weve done
pretty well with what weve got.
We know things are about to get
amped up over the next week
with SEC actually starting.
The Bulldogs had their best
season last year, clinching the
SEC for the first time in school
history with a 29-5 record. This
season, Samford returns every
starter from the championship
team and added one new fresh-
man middle blocker.
The Bulldogs are 1-16 against
Alabama all-time, with the only
win coming just last year, and
are on a four-game winning
streak.
Samfords a solid team that
will challenge for the So-Con
title as they did last year as
well, Allen said. Just being
more consistent out of serve-
receive and the momentum of
being 10-1 will be important
for us.
Crimson Tide faces Samford
in nal non-conference game
competitive conferences in the
country.
Our biggest goal is to really
bond with each other and learn
about each other, Gaurachi said.
[Its important] because were
a whole new team with different
strengths and weaknesses than
last year.
The Tide tennis team also
added freshmen Maya Jansen
and Natalie Maynetto in the off-
season. Mainz said both players
were on the courts every day and
excelled in the weight room over
the summer. She believes both
have a passion for the game and
an eagerness to add to the team.
Maynetto is little, but shes
fiery, Mainz said. Shes tena-
cious. She has a little bit of South
American flair to her. Maya is a
real athlete. Shes raw. Her best
tennis is in front of her.

Antonia Foehse and head coach Jenny Mainz are ready for this year.
