The streets of Tuscaloosa
may soon look like famed
Bourbon Street in New
Orleans or Memphis bluesy
Beale Street.
This change would be a
part of the citys rezoning of
specific areas as entertain-
ment districts, spurred by
a new law enacted by the
Alabama Legislature this
year to allow cities a certain
number of these districts
proportional to the citys
classification. The new dis-
tricts would allow patrons of
local restaurants and bars
to roam freely within the
designated area with open
containers of alcohol.
Prompted by Mobiles
adoption of the law that
piqued interest within
Tuscaloosas own enter-
tainment industry, the city
councils Public Safety
Committee is organizing a
sub-committee to look into
the benefits and downfalls
in adopting these new zones.
We are taking applicants
now, and on July 17, we plan
to announce the members
[of the sub-committee],
said councilman Kip Tyner,
who also serves on the
Public Safety Committee.
Weve already gotten a
great response. Of course
we have our usual suspects
council members, police,
fire, revenue, transporta-
tion, city attorneys office.
But for it to work, we need
to have representation from
the entertainment industry.
I want to see at least a 50
percent partnership.
According to the law,
Tuscaloosa is allowed up to
two entertainment zones,
which can cover up to a half-
mile by half-mile area.
Tyner said the sub-com-
mittee will first look into
two major locations for this
development downtown,
stretching from the Bama
Theatre to the Tuscaloosa
Amphitheater and the bar
4th and 23rd, and the Strip.
He added he hopes to also
include a university repre-
sentative on the sub-commit-
tee, as one potential district
would border University
property.

The Student Government
Associations Rage concert
could make a comeback this
fall.
More than a year after
the SGA brought The Avett
Brothers and Band of Horses to
the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater,
they are looking to create a
similar event this year. This
time, the concert would be part
of a two-day event beginning
with a chili cook-off on Oct. 31
and concluding with the con-
cert on Nov. 1. All proceeds
from the events will go into the
SGA Scholarship Endowment
Fund, benefiting students seek-
ing financial aid, which is based
on both need and merit.
We are still in the planning
stages, SGA Executive Press
Secretary Meagan Bryant said.
We want to get someone main-
stream who can appeal to all
audiences to unite the student
body.
Rapper B.o.B and alternative
rock band Foster the People
are being considered to play at
the concert, but the SGA is still
seeking student input on addi-
tional artists.
They received many votes
on the student survey we con-
ducted in the spring, Bryant
said.
The SGA sold out the April
2011 concert that featured the
Avett Brothers and Band of
Horses, raising $20,000 for the
SGA Scholarship Endowment
Fund and bringing in a large
crowd of University students
and community members. The
concert was the debut show at
the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater.
Bryant said tickets will be $25
for this falls concert, and the
SGA expects to raise $20,000 to
$30,000.
Even if the bands are not
to everyones taste, some
students said they would
attend regardless for a fun
weekend event.
David Sikes, a senior major-
ing in telecommunication
and film, attended The Avett
Brothers and Band of Horses
concert in 2011 and said he
would attend another SGA
Rage event.
I enjoyed The Avett Brothers
last year, Sikes said. Id be
interested in going to another
concert at the amphitheater.

The Tuscaloosa crowd hung
on his every move. Deontay
Wilder, the heavyweight boxer
and hometown hero, circled
his Jamaican opponent Owen
Beck, hoping to give the crowd
a show.
They cringed when he
got hit, but more often they
cheered when he landed one
of his ferocious punches. And
after three
rounds, Beck
had had enough.
W i l d e r
defeated Beck
in a three-
round techni-
cal knockout
to improve his
record to 23-0
and did so in
front of his
home fans at the Killer Buzz
Arena in the McFarland Mall
on Saturday night. The air
conditioning wasnt turned on,
but the fans, all
too used to the
Alabama sum-
mer heat, braved
the muggy con-
ditions to wit-
ness Wilder
deliver the 23rd
knockout of his
p r o f e s s i o n a l
career.
I t s no
greater feeling than fight-
ing at home, Wilder said.
Tuscaloosa, Ala., this is
where my heart is.
In the first round, the two
boxers felt each other out,
both landing a few punches,
and Wilder finished it, knock-
ing Beck down with a quick
strike to his face. The fury only
grew in the second round as
Beck was knocked down twice
more. Wilder is known for his
vicious right hook, but his left
jab was more than enough for
the overmatched Beck.

When Rachael Jones graduates, she will leave
with $28,000 in debt because of student loans.
My only plan is to find a job that can put a
dent in my debt, Jones, a senior public relations
major, said. I dont have any set plans, but the
only thing I can do is to find a job.
Though Jones will leave with a large debt to
pay off, she said college will be worth it.
I feel that if it is the only way I am able to
get a higher education, then it was worth every
penny.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, the nationwide average student loan is
$23,000 per borrower. Roughly one-fourth of bor-
rowers have outstanding loan debts of more than
$28,000, and 10 percent owe more than $54,000.
However, Jones may see some relief. On
Tuesday, both parties in the United States Senate
announced that they had reached an agreement
to extend a student loan rate cut. The House of
Representatives GOP is expecting to discuss the
rate cut this morning.
Ashlee Kirt, a sophomore studying manage-
ment information systems, said she still expects
to leave college with $50,000 owed on student
loans. Kirt said most of her loans are from the
government, with a loan from a third party lend-
er that the subsidized and unsubsidized loans
did not cover.
Im trying my best to pay the interest while I
am in school, but its getting harder since I cant
work as much during the school year as I can
in the summer, Kirt said. Its not looking like
Ill be able to keep the interest completely under
control until I graduate.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. One day
after a jury found their defense
of Jerry Sandusky unsuccess-
ful, attorney Karl Rominger
revealed he and Joe Amendola
asked to be removed from the
case before jury selection.
Rominger said Saturday on
his Harrisburg, Pa., radio show
he and Amendola felt they were
not adequately prepared to
defend their client.
He said Senior Judge John
Cleland denied the request,
which the attorneys made the
morning of jury selection.
That was the one time Ive
gone into a courtroom, looked
a judge in the eyes and said Im
not ready, Rominger said.
Amendola had repeat-
edly asked for continuanc-
es as the trial approached.
Cleland repeatedly denied
those requests.
Inside the main courtroom
Friday evening, just hours
before the verdict was hand-
ed down, Amendola seemed
resigned to his clients fate.
Ill probably die of a heart
attack, if Sandusky is acquit-
ted of everything, he told a
group of reporters.
Amendola said he has been
working 18-hour days, seven
days a week. He previously
said the defense needed more
time to go through thousands
of pages of discovery materials
from the prosecution.
I did the best I could with
the circumstances, he said.
Rominger said on his radio
show he and Amendola felt
rushed in preparing their
case and didnt feel they could
provide Sandusky a proper
defense.
We felt ethically unable to
go forward, he said. We cant
be competent because were not
prepared.
Rominger went on to say
that continuances are routine-
ly granted in trials, especially
cases with so much evidence.
We couldnt get one continu-
ance for Jerry Sandusky, he
said. As a result, we asked to
resign from the case.
Addressing reporters outside
the courthouse, after Sandusky
was taken in handcuffs to the
Centre County Correctional
Facility, Amendola said the
judges decision to deny
requests for more time could be
the basis for an appeal.
We fought our butts off,
Amendola said, But realisti-
cally we knew, as I said many,
many times, this was like climb-
ing Mount Everest from the bot-
tom, and obviously we didnt
make it.
Sandusky defense attorneys asked to be removed from case
Senior Associate City
Attorney Jimbo Woodson
explained that although the
law would allow patrons to
leave alcohol licensees with an
open container within the dis-
trict, they would not be able to
bring open containers into the
district from the outside.
The sub-committee will con-
sider things such as the rules,
location, time, days that the dis-
trict would be, Woodson said.
They will
think of ideas
like no bottles
being taken
out and placing
leftover drinks
in identifiable
c o n t a i n e r s
with the bars
logo on it.
The change
could come
just in time
for the first home football
game this fall Sept. 8 versus
Western Kentucky according
to Woodson. He said much of
the interest is for football game
weekends.
It would be like gameday
but everyday, Tyner said.
You would be able to walk
around with a drink in your
hand and go freely from one
place to another. It relaxes
things somewhat, but there
are also issues that we need to
work out.
Although some bar and res-
taurant owners have shown
interest in the establishment
of these districts, others have
mixed feelings about it.
Jeremiah Jones, owner of
Jupiter on the Strip, is inter-
ested in the consideration of
the law, but he believes there
needs to be strict rules for the
areas.
For the city to recognize
and make special laws for plac-
es that are already perceived
as entertainment districts, I
think is a good thing, Jones
said. But if the law includes
open containers, safer safety
measures are needed.
Jones suggested creating
a safer environment with the
new zones, such as only hav-
ing the districts on special
occasions Halloween and St.
Patricks Day or blocking off
traffic on the Strip.
[The zones] would definite-
ly make securitys job easier
from an enforcement stand-
point, but I dont want people
to leave the bar with a drink in
their hand and
walk into traffic,
Jones said.
H o we v e r ,
Tyner sai d
although that is
something that
should be consid-
ered, the districts
probably wont
be much differ-
ent than they are
currently, where
people leave bars intoxicated
and must still watch out for
traffic. He added the same laws
will still apply in the area as
well, such as public intoxica-
tion and underage drinking.
The main issue Jones sees is
a potential for a decreased cus-
tomer base.
The thing I dislike is if
someone takes a drink from
one bar and into another, thats
one less drink that Im going to
sell, he said.
The Public Safety sub-
committee will analyze all of
the factors that will affect the
entertainment districts, so the
change would not have a dra-
matic effect on student or resi-
dential life, Woodson said.
Tyner agrees, adding that
having a sub-committee allows
for transformation.
We can make the districts
be whatever we want them to
be, he said.

It would be like gameday but

everyday. You would be able
to walk around with a drink
in your hand and go freely
from one place to another.

A new report by the Alabama
Department of Industrial
Relations shows that, for the
first time this year, unemploy-
ment both on a state level and
in Tuscaloosa County has
increased.
The seasonally adjusted
data, which takes into account
different economic phenom-
ena, shows that unemployment
for May 2012 is at 7.4 percent,
up from 7.2 percent in April
2012. This rate is the highest
since March.
One seasonal component
that has contributed to this
new rise in unemployment
is the increase in the civil-
ian labor force. According to
the same report, the size of
the labor force jumped from
2,137,043 in April to 2,143,105 in
May.
According to Ahmad Ijaz,
the director of economic fore-
casting at the University of
Alabama, one contributing fac-
tor to this increase in May a
common one, he asserts is the
introduction of high school and
college students into the work
force, seeking either summer
or permanent employment.
State and local economic
trends, however, are reflec-
tive of those both national and
abroad. Bob Brooks, the chair
of financial management at UA,
highlighted the many causes of
the current financial state of
the state and country.
The trauma in Europe and
regulatory ambiguity coming
out of Washington are contrib-
uting to unemployment prob-
lems in Tuscaloosa County and
Alabama, Brooks said. For
example, theres a lot of regu-
latory uncertainty in the bank-
ing industry, particularly in the
form of the Dodd-Frank Bill.
Named for Congressman
Barney Frank and Senator
Chris Dodd, the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act
was signed into law in 2010
by President Barack Obama.
Signed in the wake of the finan-
cial disasters of the late 2000s,
the purpose of the bill was to
increase transparency and
accountability in the financial
system and to end bailouts for
big banks.

Just because its summer
in Tuscaloosa doesnt mean
University of Alabama students
cant still beat the heat and get
fit, both on campus and off.
For students interested in
getting in shape off campus,
Midtown Village has partnered
with Planet Fitness and WZBQ
94.1 to host the Fitness Challenge,
offering Tuscaloosa residents
and students the opportunity to
win prizes for slimming down.
Our goal for the Fitness
Challenge is to reach out to the
community by offering a fun way
to be healthy during the summer
months, Carol Woodruff, spe-
cial events and promotions man-
ager for Midtown Village, said.
The incentive is a prize pack-
age valued at over $500, which
contains a one-year membership
to Planet Fitness and gift cards
from participating Midtown
Village retailers. The challenge
will be determined by the per-
centage of weight lost and will
include one female and one male
winner.
Woodruff said over 150 people
have already registered for the
fitness challenge, but there is
still time to join. The 60-day chal-
lenge runs from June 15 through
August 13, but those interested
can sign up through the end of
June.
Woodruff said the challenge
serves a dual purpose, both to
engage the community and to
promote Midtowns latest addi-
tion, Planet Fitness.
Since Planet Fitness is one
of Midtowns newer tenets, we
wanted to help promote their
new location as well as offer
some incentive for people in the
community to start or maintain a
healthy lifestyle, Woodruff said.
For students looking for incen-
tive to get fit on campus, sum-
mer offers a prime time to try
new activities at the student
Recreation Center.
I think certainly the summer
would be a good time for students
to consider a different schedule
for their workouts or trying new
classes at different times, said
Kristen Durham, the associate
director of recreation services
for university recreation, said.
Durham said since students
have more free time in the sum-
mer, it provides an opportunity
for them to try classes they might
not have been able to make it to
during the school year. Durham
also added that the group exer-
cise schedule still provides lots
of choices during the summer,
and the Rec Center also offers
intramural basketball, tennis
and sand volleyball.
Durham pointed out the
decrease in student numbers
is also a good reason to get
involved at the center.
I think it is a lower atten-
dance for sure, so its a good time
to get in [to the Rec Center] and
get a little more space, Durham
said.
Kathleen Cook, a junior major-
ing in public relations, said she
beats the summer heat by taking
indoor workout classes.
I go to more Rec Center
classes, which make you more
accountable, cook said. You
can take your friends, and the
classes last around an hour so
youre guaranteed a good work-
out.
Cook said she finds it easier
to stay fit during summer school
because she feels she has much
more free time, while still having
some structure in the average
school day.
In the summer, you have
more flexibility in general,
Cook said. She adds fitness is
good way to mix up your routine
anyway. Exercise is a good way
to break up long summer days.
State and county unemployment rates rise
Summer offers tness
challenges across town
The best comparison I
can think of is driving down
the Interstate, Brooks said,
explaining his criticism of the
law. You see a speed limit sign
that says drive at a reason-
able speed. Basically, youre
putting tyrannical power in
the hands of bureaucrats and
junior regulators.
Brooks likened Dodd-Frank
to other legislation champi-
oned by the current adminis-
tration, such as the Health Care
and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, popularly known
as Obamacare. Brooks chief
criticism of these laws is their
ambiguity, which he feels
grants the government unlim-
ited power. However, he does
not find politics to blame.
I think regardless of the
election outcome, the ambigu-
ity will be improved, he said.
Theres always been division
in Washington. Regardless of
political preference, though,
people want clarity.
However, here are those who
see the rise in unemployment
as a natural part of the eco-
nomic cycle.
I dont think Washington
has a direct impact on
unemployment, said Zach
Smithson, a junior electrical
engineering major. They do
have an effect on the economy
and other factors, but unem-
ployment will always fluctuate
with the times.
There seems to be a consen-
sus, though, that Tuscaloosa
will bounce back from this set-
back.
University towns are a pre-
ferred location for start-ups,
Brooks said. Tuscaloosa is a
marvelous place to run a busi-
ness.
I think the uptick in unem-
ployment is temporary, he
added. When [the ambiguity
in Washington] is resolved I
predict that the unemployment
rate will drop.

EDITORIAL BOARD
By Austin Gaddis
Hope for true societal growth, economic prosperity
and cultural progress seem to be goals long forgotten
in Alabama, thwarted on a seemingly constant basis by
hyper-partisan leaders with a levee on the tide of evolu-
tion for the Heart of Dixie.
Recently, the national spotlight has been cast on
Alabama in response to the state adopting the nations
toughest immigration law, highlighting a vicious legisla-
ture on an impassioned witch hunt, and a timid governor
too weak to stand in its way.
All the while, our economy gravely suffers the con-
sequences of a widespread crackdown during a fragile
if not fantasy recovery period. Yet again, Alabama
repeats its perpetual cycle of being late to the party and
always being three steps behind the status quo.
If you were to ask Alabamians, however, how they per-
ceive the state and its progress, you might get a resound-
ingly different impression than what data and studies
show to be true.
A recent poll conducted by the Capital Survey Research
Center, the polling arm of the Alabama Education
Association, asked Alabamians to rate their satisfac-
tion with the legislature, Governor Robert Bentley, the
state economy and the general direction of Alabama. The
results of the survey are simply shocking.
The Alabama State Legislature has certainly made its
mark on state and national dialogue since 2010s first
Republican takeover in 136 years. With control of the
House, Senate and governors office, Republicans have
successfully stifled their opposition and enjoy a rubber
stamp on legislation all the way from conception to the
governors signature.
This absence of checks and balances leaves little
question as to how Draconian pieces of legislation like
the Hammond-Beason Alabama Taxpayer & Citizen
Protection Act commonly known as HB56 pass
through the halls of Montgomery with ease.
Yet with all of the controversy, shame and national
embarrassment that the Legislature has brought on
Alabama, voters are satisfied. The poll found that 55.6
percent of respondents said they were either very
satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the Legislature.
By contrast, only 16.1 percent said they were very
disappointed.
There is one major factor to always consider: The
Legislatures achievements would not have been possible
without the unquestioned and unequivocal support of
the governors office.
Quite simply, Governor Bentley has failed the people
of Alabama. Instead of focusing on the electorate and
programs to stimulate the economy, Bentley stands as a
trampled doormat for the power-hungry Legislature.
After Bentley expressed he had several concerns with
harsh new provisions in Beasons updated bill and sub-
mitted his own changes, not one legislator would take
it to the floor. In a response perfectly indicative of the
circus his administration has become to the legislature,
Bentley conceded and signed the bill.
Bentleys priorities are obviously out of sync with
Alabama. Yet, Alabama voters are satisfied even more
with Bentley than the Legislature. The poll found 64.3
percent of voters being very satisfied or somewhat satis-
fied with Bentleys job performance.
Meanwhile, Alabama suffers.
State economists found that in order for the unemploy-
ment rate to go down by just one percent, Alabama would
have to create around 22,000 jobs every month. As of May,
Alabama had only created about 1,300 jobs per month.
We still have a tremendous amount of work to do to
stimulate our economy; however, Alabama voters are
satisfied. The poll found that 61.1 percent of voters felt
the economy was very good or somewhat good for them-
selves and their families.
This week, the Supreme Courts decision to strike
down most of Arizonas immigration law, which was less
intense than HB56, served as an ominous precursor to
the fate of the law in Alabama. As a result, the count-
less hours and tax dollars spent debating, legislating and
mulling over the law has been a waste, and Alabama is
again left in the dust with yet another scarlet letter.
The clear disconnect between the publics positive
perception of Alabamas progress and the hard, evident
truth that were failing is a problem that should never
be ignored. We cannot continue to be content with the
unending mediocrity that has plagued our beloved state
for so long.
With this, Alabamas most important question
becomes: how can we be satisfied? If we desire true
growth, prosperity and progress, we certainly have our
work cut out for us.

The most important takeaways
from the Jerry Sandusky story,
which ended in handcuffs Friday
night, are not, really, about Jerry
Sandusky. There isnt much to
learn from the fact that there are
sick and twisted people in the
world, other than the fact that we
are reminded the world is full of
sick and twisted people.
The Jerry Sandusky story is,
more importantly, the story of
the enablers, the deniers and the
neglecters, who either knew or
refused to know what was hap-
pening in their locker rooms,
their hotel rooms, their bath-
rooms or their basements.
It is easy, after an onslaught of
horrific evidence was presented
and the jurys verdict rendered,
to wonder in amazement how the
entire affair happened how a
hero philanthropist coach was
allowed to repeatedly molest
innocent children under the aus-
pices of one of the most revered
athletic programs in this country.
But how often do we wonder in
amazement at exactly how these
things happen? How the priests
who guard the faith could have
committed similar crimes, and
the high clergy that presides
over them could have turned a
blind eye?
We apply the same ques-
tions to other scandals that are
not necessarily comparable to
Sanduskys, such as how our own
Justice Department was com-
plicit in supplying criminals with
weapons that eventually killed
two law enforcement officers,
or how one of our nations most
respected financial minds was
really just constructing an enor-
mous Ponzi scheme that cost his
clients billions of dollars.
We never really stop looking
for these answers, asking who
knew what and when they knew
it. Those questions will now come
to the forefront at Penn State
University, the once-respected
institution that Sandusky turned
into a playground for his perver-
sions.
Those complicit and respon-
sible have the misfortune of find-
ing themselves in a situation
most people do not find morally
ambiguous.
Mike McQueary, the former
assistant coach and one-time
Penn State quarterback who
testified he witnessed Sandusky
sexually assault a young boy 10
years ago, has been criticized for
not intervening to protect the
child and not reporting the inci-
dent until the next day.
He met the minimum obliga-
tion in reporting it up but did not,
in my opinion, meet a moral obli-
gation that all of us would have,
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett
said after the Sandusky investi-
gation became public last year.
Physically, I didnt remove the
young boy from the shower or go
and punch Jerry out, McQueary
said during his trial testimony.
Instead, he informed legend-
ary Penn State head football
coach Joe Paterno, who in turn
reported the incident to his
immediate supervisor and the
administrator who oversaw the
university police, who did noth-
ing.
The sickening consequences
of that inaction are the victims
who showed up in court with
horrifying stories that took place
after Penn State officials decid-
ed to look the other way, after
McQueary and Paterno decided
to outsource their own moral
responsibility to the authorities
above them.
Does that mean, though, they
did not meet the moral test all of
us would have, as Corbett said?
We would all like to think we
would have acted heroically, res-
cued that young boy and stayed
on Sanduskys case everyday,
demanding answers and push-
ing for an arrest. Yet, we are
all guilty of overlooking things,
the small things, the things that
dont really matter or the things
that arent worth a fight.
We overlook things that have
always been done or that every-
body does; no one wants to stir
the pot.
And then the little things
become the big things, and our
moral compasses get so twisted
theyre no longer capable of
pointing us in the right direction.
It doesnt have to be child
sex abuse. The whistleblowers
in the Fast and Furious probe,
for instance, did a great service
by coming forward and reveal-
ing the Justice Departments
gun-walking tactics after two
Americans died. It would have
been great to have whistleblow-
ers before we had bodies.
The Sandusky story is, in the
end, another reminder of how
weak and fallible we all are. We
are all enablers, deniers and
neglecters. We rationalize our-
selves into our own moral bub-
bles, and then the bubbles burst.
Mike McQueary and Joe
Paterno arent bad men, but they
allowed their judgment to be
clouded clouded moral judg-
ment should scare us all.
Doing the right thing is easy;
recognizing what the right thing
is can be very difficult.

Since the Iranian revolu-
tion, sometimes called the
Islamic revolution, relations
between the United States and
Iran have been very uneasy as
well as unsteady. The recent
election in 2005 of Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad has made the
threat of Iran obtaining nucle-
ar weapons that much closer
to becoming a reality.
Iran obtaining nuclear weap-
ons could cause serious issues
for the everyday U.S. citizen
along with the American influ-
ence in the Middle East. This
is a very important issue not
only for the Middle East, but
also for the United States
and the United States needs to
become more involved.
If Iran were to become
nucl ear - capabl e, t he
American influence would
be significantly weakened
in the Middle East. Due to
its nuclear capabilities, Iran
could pressure other eastern
nations into their demands
while ignoring the demands
of the United States. Now why
would the United States care
if eastern countries ignored
our demands? The ability for
Arab nations to work with the
United States would decline
because they felt threatened
by a nuclear capable Iran,
and America would be seen
as weaker because it failed to
prevent Iran from obtaining
nuclear weapons.
The diminishing nuclear
influence of the United States
in the Middle East would
cause a nuclear arms race
among the Arab nations, such
as Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Increasing instability in the
Middle East would cause more
nuclear production, and the
likeliness of nuclear weapons
falling into hands of terrorists
would greatly increase. The
more countries that posses
nuclear weapons, the greater
the chances would be of nucle-
ar weapons actually being
used.
While everyday American
citizens may not be immedi-
ately concerned with Irans
growing nuclear capability,
there could be some effects
that directly affect you tomor-
row. Irans nuclear capabil-
ity would cause gas prices
to immediately skyrocket
because Iran would be able to
convince other Middle Eastern
nations to be afraid of not suc-
cumbing to a nuclear capa-
ble Tehran. Nations such as
Saudi Arabia and other OPEC
Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries would
fear Iran and have to give in
to their demands to reduce the
production of oil, which would
raise its cost, forcing you to
pay for it at the pump. Gas
prices have increased, but this
would cause them to skyrock-
et if Iran were to dominate the
Middle Eastern countries in
the nuclear arms race.
The possibility of Iran
obtaining nuclear weapons
is a very important issue and
needs to be brought to atten-
tion. This is not just a Middle
Eastern issue, but also an
American issue and can
directly affect everyday U.S.
citizens. Most importantly, the
United States needs to become
directly involved in the nucle-
ar arms race in Iran, and
needs to make sure they do
not become nuclear capable.

ing in political science.

In light of the devastating
events of April 27, 2011, and
the current hurricane sea-
son, Tuscaloosa will be par-
ticipating in a tax holiday on
storm preparedness items.
As of June 7, Tuscaloosa
and Tuscaloosa County will
be a part of the statewide
tax break on items such as
batteries, plywood, duct
tape and weather radios in
order to help residents be
prepared for future disaster
situations.
The holiday will begin
Friday, July 6, and end at
midnight on Sunday, July 8.
Karen Thompson of
Temporary Emergency
Services of Tuscaloosa, a
service that helps people in
need after disasters like the
April 27 tornado, encour-
aged all residents to partici-
pate.
This is a great opportuni-
ty for individuals and fami-
lies to get those basic disas-
ter necessities, Thompson
said. If something happens,
having those things on hand
can make a big difference.
She said even outside of
tornado season, being pre-
pared for an emergency situ-
ation is very important and
some included items could
help with any disaster.
James Spann, chief mete-
orologist for ABC 33/40 in
Birmingham, also encour-
aged people living in the
Tuscaloosa area to partici-
pate, noting that hurricane
season is in full swing.
If a major hurricane
moves up into the central
Gulf Coast like Ivan in
2004 or Katrina in 2005
despite the inland weaken-
ing, they can still bring wide-
spread flooding and power
outages well northward into
Alabama, he said. In some
cases, power outages can
last for multiple days and
even a week, so having bat-
teries, flashlights, etcetera
is very important.
Spann also explained
Alabamas fall tornado sea-
son is November through
December and the tax holi-
day is a great way to stock
up in advance.
University of Alabama
student Adam Melton lost
his apartment and was bur-
ied under the rubble in the
April 27, 2011 tornado. With
his experience, he said he
feels the need to encourage
people to take part.
With this holiday, people
have no excuse not to go
out and buy the tools that
can save their lives, Melton
said. I will be sure that all of
my friends and family take
part in it and know what to
buy.
Melton believes having
these items cant altogeth-
er prevent tragedy, but it
always helps to think ahead.
There is no way to be
prepared for something like
what happened on April 27,
he said. However, these
tools greatly increase your
chance of survival and help
to keep you informed and
safe.

Students interested in hotel
and restaurant management
can now get experience in every-
thing from bartending to man-
aging catered events through
the College of Human and
Environmental Sciences work
with The University Club.
The club, which has a history
that extends as far back as the
mid-1800s, has served as a fam-
ily home, a Tuscaloosa Service
Center for soldier entertain-
ment during World War II, a
social center for University of
Alabama faculty and a coed dor-
mitory. In 1946, the University
officially opened the building as
the University Club.
Roy Maize, director of restau-
rant, hotel and meetings man-
agement, said CHES has been
in charge of the club since April
1, and it has since been a great
place for students to work.
Its a living, breathing organi-
zation where students can gain
real-world experience but where
we still have some control, he
said. Its a great way for stu-
dents to get a feel for whats
going on.
Maize said right now students
have internship and employ-
ment opportunities, but in the
future, the primary focus will be
to integrate experience into the
classroom.
We hope to be able to use
the club for labs and practicums
with our classes, such as our
catering class, where we could
have the students cater events
as part of their coursework, he
said.
Senior restaurant and hospi-
tality management major Corey
Brannon has been working at
the University Club since May
and said hes always busy.
I do pretty much everything,
he said. I wait tables, I bar-
tend, I manage catering events,
I answer the phone - its been a
great opportunity.
Carice Parker, a junior restau-
rant, hotel and meetings man-
agement major, has also enjoyed
her experience working at the
University Club.
Working here has been one
of the best ways to learn cus-
tomer service because thats
what Im always doing here, she
said. I know Ive learned a lot
already.
Parker also said the benefits
of working at the club dont just
apply to a specific type of stu-
dent.
There are so many oppor-
tunities to learn, she said.
Different students can utilize
the experience in so many differ-
ent ways.
Maize said the opportunities
will not be limited to students
within the college of HES.
We want any student on cam-
pus to be able to work or intern
at the University Club, he said.
Wed love to have collaboration
with dance and theatre students
for special events and really
make it a University-wide expe-
rience.
Maize said the faculty and
students involved in CHES and
the club are looking forward to
future plans.
Were really just at the begin-
ning, he said. Were excited for
what we know we can do now.

For the first time in history stu-
dent debt has climbed over $1 tril-
lion, passing the total credit card
debt, which the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York lists as being
$693 billion in the third-quarter of
2011.
Students and activists across
the nation have started to take
notice.
Its really important to have
solidarity in affordable educa-
tion, Janna Powell, organizer for
All in the Red, said.
All in the Red is a New York-
based activist group that seeks
to raise awareness about student
debt and organize events, march-
es and action around the issue.
All in the Red declared this
past Friday, June 22, Night of
the Living Debt. Powell said
the event was successful, bring-
ing out around 200 people in
New York City to participate in
a march, performances, and the
kick off for a summer of nation-
wide actions.
We wanted to have a very
clear, on-point message that any-
body could connect to, Powell
said. If we cant be educating
ourselves and our youth, we will
not have a functioning society.
According to a New York Times
report, roughly two-thirds of
graduates with a bachelors
degree borrow in order to attend
college.
I feel stressed about my
student loan debt situation,
Katrinna Carter, a junior studying
philosophy and public relations,
said.
Carter said the debt she will
likely leave the University of
Alabama with is more than she
would like it to be. She added that
her debt will just grow with the
recent tuition increase.
The Tuscaloosa, Huntsville and
Birmingham campuses of the UA
System all see a rise in tuition. For
in-state students in Tuscaloosa,
a rise in the rate by seven per-
cent means the $4,300 tuition will
increase to $4,600. Out-of-state
students will see a five percent
increase, raising tuition from
$10,950 to $11,475. As it is for many
other public schools in the United
States, the increases in tuition
can be attributed to cuts in state
funding.
Overall, Carter said she feels
neutral about the tuition increase.
Being an out-of-state student,
my parents already pay more
than enough to send me here
to UA, Carter said. I feel that
it should have been considered
much more strongly and longer
and to take in consideration peo-
ple who rely on financial aid to
pay for school.
For other students, the tuition
increase is alarming.
It definitely puts me on edge
when I hear about the tuition
increase, said Lauren Killen, a
junior majoring in early child-
hood education. It seems to go
up just about every year. When it
comes to my financial aid I always
hope that I will have enough to
cover most of the new tuition
costs and fees.
Killen said she definitely wor-
ries about having financial issues
due to the debt when she gradu-
ates and doesnt have a way to
begin paying it off now but said
her education is important now.
It is something I am willing
to do because it was important
to me to be able to go to college
and earn a degree for myself,
Killen said. Hopefully I will get
a great job and be able to get the
loans paid off. I understood the
consequences when I applied for
federal aid as a freshman.
According to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, as
of the third quarter of 2011, 14.4
percent of the 37 million borrow-
ers have at least one student loan
debt that is past due. Out of the
total outstanding student loan
balance 10 percent or about $85
billion is due to overdue loans.
Just having to think about pay-
ing off thousands of dollars for
receiving an education is unbear-
able, Carter said. Once I gradu-
ate, I have to immediately start
paying off this huge debt I owe.

Bryant said they have not
decided on a venue yet, but are
looking for somewhere close to
campus so as many students as
possible may attend.
We have considered the
amphitheater again, especially
now that the [Crimson Ride]
downtown express bus route is
available, Bryant said.
Sikes said he had never heard
of B.o.B or Foster the People, but
he would be interested in seeing
some different music groups.
Id like to see Less Than
Jake, Sikes said. Theyre a
great concert band for college
crowds.
Leah Johns, a junior major-
ing in elementary education,
said she would probably attend
no matter who played at the
concert.
I went to The Avett Brothers
concert last year without really
knowing much about them,
Johns said. It had a great stu-
dent atmosphere, the tickets
were cheap, and it was some-
thing different to do on your
Friday night.
The SGA is still accepting
suggestions of artists to play
at the concert. Students may
submit their requests to chief
of staff Brennan Johnson at

Children and teenagers partic-
ipating in the Summer Food and
Fun Project will be able to recall
what they learned in school this
summer by learning healthy eat-
ing and lifestyle habits.
The summer enrichment pro-
gram, which provides free meals
to participants, will be held at the
McDonald Hughes Community
Center, operating from Tuesday
to Thursday, 9-11 a.m.
The six-week program, which
started earlier this month and
ends in mid-July, stems from
the State Perinatal Program, ini-
tially implemented to decrease
infant morbidity and mortality,
said Sharon Bradford, Region
Two perinatal director for the
Alabama Department of Public
Health.
The program encourages
cooperative relationships among
healthcare providers and institu-
tions to ensure medically effec-
tive and cost efficient perinatal
care and to raise awareness
regarding infant morbidity and
mortality, Bradford said.
Rashad Cole, University of
Alabama graduate student and
director of the Summer Food and
Fun Project, said this program is
not a typical summer camp.
During summer vacation,
most students forget a large por-
tion of what they learned during
the school year, Cole said.
Our goal is to reduce the
amount of students that go back
to school with brain drain, he
said. We want them to go back
to school and be able to use what
they learn here.
The Summer Food and Fun
Project, sponsored by the Region
Two Perinatal Community
Action Team, offers arts and
crafts, wellness and life skills,
reading and creative writing to
youth between the ages of three
and 18. Financial planning is also
offered to the teenagers.
This summer we had a church
to implement their summer pro-
gram in with ours, so now the
youth in their summer program
come here, Cole said. It has
been a great accomplishment.
According to Cole, several
younger kids are participating in
the program, but there are only
five teenagers.
I want to get the word out to
older kids, Cole said. It is not
good for teenagers to have too
much idle time on their hands.
Alexus Brown, 14, said she
enjoys attending the program
because it is fun and gives her an
opportunity to learn new things.
This is a good use of my
time, she said. If I wasnt com-
ing here, I would probably be at
home sleeping.
Talil Brown, 16, said the only
thing he doesnt like about the
program is having to wake up
early in the morning to attend.
Cole believes his work with the
program has deepened his love
of educating.
This experience has
enhanced my desire and hunger
to educate younger generations,
Cole said.
Although the work can be
overwhelming, it is Bradfords
empathy for others that aides
her, she said.
My challenge is to maintain
resilience so that I can keep
doing the work with care, she
said.
Volunteers, donations, water
and healthy snacks are also
needed. The Summer Food and
Fun Project is free for all par-
ticipants, and i t is not too late to
register. For more information,
contact Sharon Bradford at (205)
750-5138.

In a world full of flyers, online and email
discounts, students can be easily over-
whelmed with choices to do on their Friday
night or weekend. However, local business
Posh Tuscaloosa is serving up discounted
offers to places appealing to many.
Founded by Lana Hill, Posh Tuscaloosa
offers online gift certificates that can be
purchased and used at area businesses.
Its a good resource for people to find
the best of the best, Hill said. Through
Posh Tuscaloosa you can find deals and
incentives at places you may have never
known about. You can learn as much as
you want about the place on our website
before making your purchase.
Hill said she decided to pursue this busi-
ness idea after leaving work at a television
station to stay home with her children.
I have a background in advertising and
marketing, and I liked the concept of deals
as a way to trade for marketing, Hill said.
And its risk free advertising for the busi-
nesses.
In an effort to make Posh Tuscaloosa
more boutique-like, Hill said she thought
about the normal hot spots locals frequent
as places to recruit for Posh. She liked the
idea of featuring smaller companies that
those from out of town or new to the area
might not know about.
We were only going to [start Posh]
for large cities, the biggest cities in the
Southeast, but we were approached by
someone who wanted us to do Tuscaloosa,
Hill said. Its a smaller city, but it is so
special and there is such a broad range of
people from college students to those liv-
ing there permanently.
Hill said although Tuscaloosa is close
to Birmingham, their original location for
Posh services, Tuscaloosa needed its own
website and database.
The website features a directory of
middle to higher-end restaurants, retail-
ers and spa businesses that consumers
can visit at a discounted price after pur-
chasing a certificate. Hill said most of her
customers are on an email list and receive
notifications of when new certificates are
in, or they can check the website.
Certificates are only renewed on
quarterly intervals as a way to keep the
demand high, but also allow the business-
es to thrive and not become stressed by an
overwhelming amount of certificate usage.
We are not trying to be a Groupon,
which will sell as many that it can and
ultimately hurts a lot of small businesses,
Hill said. We care about our companies
and only sell the amount the business
can handle. Some places can handle a lot
higher volume than others, so certificate
availability varies.
Hill said she has been met with hostil-
ity from some restaurants that have been
burned by Groupon or Living Social, and
said she continues to inform those she rep-
resents that Posh is not the same.
Some of the businesses participat-
ing in Posh Tuscaloosa include Chucks
Fish, FIVE, Innisfree Irish Pub, Sweets
Cupcakes, Black Warrior Outdoors, The
Pants Store and The Trunk.
Bryan Hargett, manager at Innisfree
Irish Pub, said they have been pleased with
their partnership with Posh Tuscaloosa.
It has been bringing in customers that
may not have known about us before and
hope they are pleased and come back
again, Hargett said.
Although Innisfree has not tried
Groupon or Living Social, Hargett said they
have used others, but Posh Tuscaloosa
has been one of their bigger coupon cam-
paigns. He said they plan on staying with
Posh Tuscaloosa in the future.
Certificate prices vary depending on
each business but consist of paying $10 for
a $20 gift certificate or $30 for $50 gift cer-
tificate, and more.
Hill said while some of Posh Tuscaloosas
places may not appeal to all students, it is
definitely worth trying as a way to save
money and try out trendy places.
I would use it to find discounts, espe-
cially if you are wondering what to do on
a Friday night, Lee Yarbrough, a junior
majoring in public relations, said. I think
this could definitely appeal to students
depending on how well its advertised.
Hill said they are in the process of
recruiting Mugshots Bar and Grill and
wants to maintain her high standards for
participating businesses.

It is suddenly a lot more con-
venient to order home delivery
from local restaurants, thanks
to a new website, Crimson2go.
com.
Food from Hooligans, Tuts,
Wilhagans, Fig, Yakamoz, Roly
Poly, Trey Yuen and DePalmas
can now be delivered to stu-
dents within a six-mile radius
for an extra fee of $2.99.
Its just a good convenient
service where you can get what
you want delivered, Crimson 2
Go owner Kevin Johnson said.
The goal is to get a bunch of
restaurants on board. We see
exactly what you want to order
online so you do not play the
telephone game.
Cri mson2go. com, whi ch
opened three weeks ago, offers
an easy way for students to
browse menus, order and pay
online.
I think that the restaurants
we have been working with
have found it to work seamless-
ly into their system, Johnson
said. We just eliminate the
headache associated with deliv-
ery.
Hooligans, a family-owned
favorite of students, was one of
the first restaurants to get on
board with the Crimson 2 Go
service.
Theres a lot of other res-
taurants that do delivery so we
decided to go with the flow,
Mike Ahjija, general manager
of Hooligans, said. A lot of our
customers have asked for deliv-
ery, and this seemed to be a
good organized way to do it.
Crimson 2 Go expects to add
other restaurants to its service
as the year progresses.
I know that we have a couple
big names that are seriously
about to give the go-ahead,
Johnson said. Once a lot of
restaurants see that we are an
established company and have
been around for more than just
three weeks, we will get more
on board.
Katie Turgeon, a sophomore
majoring in chemistry, said she
believes many students will
benefit from the new service.
I can see myself ordering my
favorite DePalmas pasta on that
late night before the test while I
am cramming at the library or
on the occasional lazy evening
staying in to watch a movie,
Turgeon said. Another perk
is that many freshmen that did
not bring their cars with them
to college will be able to expe-
rience the restaurants further
from campus that everybody
raves about.
Rachel Coleman, a senior
majoring in public relations,
said even with the $2.99 deliv-
ery fee, students will utilize
Crimson 2 Go.
I think that students are sick
of just getting Dominos and
Jimmy Johns delivered, and I
think that it will be great to get
food that is normally sit-down
only restaurants brought to
you, Coleman said.
Johnson encourages students
to use the website to place
orders. Crimson 2 Go also has a
Facebook page and Twitter feed
that regularly offer coupons
and delivery options.
Between the extra curricu-
lar [activities], homework load,
and workouts, there may not be
time to get ready and go out to
the restaurants that [students]
love so much, Turgeon said.
Crimson 2 Go would be a per-
fect opportunity to be able to
eat quality food at home.

By Becky Robinson
Staff Reporter
University of Alabama theater
professor Seth Panitch is tak-
ing his most recent production,
Hell: Paradise Found, to an
Off-Broadway stage in New York
City. However, before he and his
cast depart for the Big Apple,
there will be three performances
on campus starting July 2.
Panitchs play tells the story
of a young lawyer who died and
missed his defining moment in
life, a moment in which he choos-
es heaven or hell. Panitchs idea
of heaven and hell is quite differ-
ent than the traditional religious
views held by Christians. He
came up with the idea for Hell:
Paradise Found while research-
ing a play on Shakespeare and
discovered Puritans believed
performing was a sin.
It reminded me of all the fig-
ures, many that we celebrate
today, that for one reason or
another had been labeled sin-
ners or heretics simply for
offering a different interpre-
tation or of altering a status
quo, Panitch said. I wondered
assuming the Puritans and oth-
ers like them were right and
that Shakespeare, Galileo, Joan
of Arc, etcetera, were all sent to
hell, who would wind up in heav-
en under those conditions?
In the play, heaven is reserved
for those who have not only
made the right choices their
entire life, but also for those who
never questioned authority or
rules. Hell is a place for people
who are not necessarily bad, but
may have taken a stand for what
they believed in, even if it was
considered the wrong choice.
When I wrote the piece, I was
most interested in poking fun at
the seductive power of confor-
mity, Panitch said. I am fasci-
nated by the compulsion we have
to label someone a heretic or
alien for having a different point
of view.
Panitchs hell is filled with a
lively cast of characters. Lucifer
and Vlad the Impaler are two
characters played by guest
actor Chip Persons. Panitch met
Persons in Colorado where they
performed at Shakespearean
festivals and acted together in
many plays.
The play also includes hell
resident Lizzie Borden, based on
the infamous Massachusetts ax
murder suspect, and performed
by Alexandra Ficken, a recent
UA graduate who learned acting
under Panitchs instruction, and
has worked with him on many
after-school projects.
Ficken, one of four UA gradu-
ates in the play, said playing a
loud-mouthed character such as
Borden is something she hasnt
done in a while and swinging
around her characters ax is
exciting.
Pantich said he wants to make
sure the actors who have recent-
ly graduated have an easier time
making their way into profes-
sional projects. One way he does
this is the Bridge Project, which
allows graduates to act along-
side professional actors. Hell:
Paradise Found is a continua-
tion of this project.
Projects like this make it eas-
ier for actors to transition into
the profession, Panitch said. A
showcase is the usual form this
takes, but performing for two
weeks Off-Broadway is certainly
a stronger approach to this chal-
lenge.
Matt Lewis, a 2012 UA MFA
acting graduate, plays Simon the
lawyer. Like Ficken, Lewis was
approached by Panitch to take
part in his play.
Its a really great experience
to work with the company,
Lewis said. Ive worked with
the actors before, and its cool
to have one last experience with
them.
Panitch and his cast have
made many changes to the script
and stage throughout rehears-
als. The Allen Bales stage has
been taped off to be smaller, simi-
lar to the proscenium-style stage
the theater in New York offers.
When it comes to taking the
play to New York, the cast is
excited.
Its a dream come true to work
in the City, Ficken said. Thats
always a big thrill. The New York
audience is a battle-hardened
one. They have seen everything
numerous times. When you get a
laugh out of them, you earn that
laugh!
Hell: Paradise Found will
run July 2-4 in the Allen Bales
Theatre. Tickets are free,
but reservations are needed.
Call 205-348-3845 for more
information.

Eating is part of celebrating
America. Beyond the stereotypical
Fourth of July fare, lies the opportuni-
ty for delicious experimentation with
fun and flavors. This year, try ventur-
ing into new territory with your party
menu.
The first and most important part
of a Fourth of July meal is the meat.
While burgers and hotdogs are
quick, easy and a crowd favorite, try
experimenting with unique entrees.
Remember: the rub makes the meat.
Select a cut of pork, pot roast, ribs or
even chicken and cover it in your favor-
ite rub or marinade before cooking.
Many rubs and marinades can
be store-bought, but experimenting
with and creating your own blend of
spices for meat can have a delightful
result. For an ethnic flair, try using a
southwestern or Oriental style blend
to make your meat stand out from the
rest.
Beans, coleslaw and potato salad
make excellent side dishes but appear
at every summer holiday party. For
something different, try grilling your
favorite seasonal vegetables. Simply
throw slices of zucchini, eggplant, bell
pepper or squash on the grill and allow
them to brown on each side.
Making your own guacamole can
become a fun tradition for social gath-
erings. Guacamole can serve as a sim-
ple appetizer with chips or a side dish.
Slice ripe avocados in half, remove the
seed, and scoop out the insides into
bowl, then mash. Add your favorite
seasonings, such as onion, cilantro,
lemon or lime juice, tomatoes or pep-
pers to add taste.
No Fourth of July party is complete
without a rich, satisfying dessert.
Instead of the tried and true American
flag fruit parfait, try serving a batch of
Paula Deens red velvet cupcakes with
cream cheese frosting. These cupcakes
are the perfect savory finishing touch
to any summer meal. Baking them in
blue cupcake liners will give you the
classic red, white and blue theme.
Margaritas are a classic summer
cocktail. For a different take on Fourth
of July festivities, try serving this
blackberry margarita using agave nec-
tar as a sweetener, which can be found
at most grocery stores.
COLUMN | FOOD
Reinventing an outdated 4th of July cookout menu without breaking the bank
Kosher salt
2 lime slices/wedges
3 blackberries
1/4 cup tequila blanco
2 tablespoons agave nectar (syrup)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1. Pour salt into a dish, line the rim of a glass with lime juice, then roll the rim in salt to
cover.
2. Muddle, or smash, the blackberries and agave nectar into the bottom a cocktail shaker.
3. Add the tequila and lime juice to the cocktail shaker and shake, then strain into the
glass and garnish with lime slice.
For a virgincocktail, omit the tequila and replace it with orange juice.
When planning a holiday get-together or cooking with your family, trying variations
of classics or finding new ways to commemorate the day with food can lend to an excit-
ing Fourth you wont forget.

The Southeastern Conference
held its annual summer telecon-
ference on Monday, and basket-
ball coaches discussed topics
ranging from new recruiting
rules to incoming recruits.
One of the main topics dis-
cussed by numerous coaches
during the teleconference was
the new rules implemented by
the NCAA earlier this summer.
The ability of coaches to have
unlimited contact with recruits
via texting and social media was
met with enthusiasm by the
coaches, including Arkansas
head coach Mike Anderson.
These kids are gone a lot in
the summer months, Anderson
said. Theyre gone. Maybe tex-
ting is the easiest way to stay
in touch. I guess I talk to my
own daughter with texting.
Another new rule change met
with favor by the coaches was
the ability for coaches to have
two hours of basketball-related
contact with players who are
enrolled in summer school.
Alabama head coach Anthony
Grants main area of concern,
however, was the roster for the
upcoming season, where the
Tide lost big contributors from
the previous season: JaMychal
Green to the NBA Draft, Tony
Mitchell to a release and Charles
Hankerson to a transfer. Still,
Grant said he was confident his
team could handle the losses.
I think weve got a good
group of guys returning, Grant
said. Were losing some key
piecesbut I think the guys
that will be returning are look-
ing forward to the challenge.
Tide adds ve-star small
forward for class of 2012
Devonta Pollard, ranked
as the No. 22 overall player
according to Rivals.com, will
be joining the Tide this season.
For Grant, who said hed
been recruiting him since his
arrival at Alabama, Pollard can
step in and make an immedi-
ate impact in a number of ways.
Grant said Pollard could be
one of the key pieces to build-
ing a successful program at
Alabama, despite him being
the Tides only signee of 2012.
The big thing for me in try-
ing to build our program is try-
ing to make sure that we get
pieces that have an opportunity
to come in and make significant
contributions to our team,
Grant said. Devonta certainly
does that. I think he brings a
variety of things to our team,
from his skill set and his ability
to score, dissect the game defen-
sively, play multiple positions.
SEC will welcome ve
new coaches in 2012
Pollard will not be the only
new face in the SEC next year.
Five new head coaches made
appearances at the teleconfer-
ence. Frank Martin, Johnny
Jones and Rick Ray, of South
Carolina, LSU and Mississippi
State, respectively, made their
appearance as new hires,
while Frank Haith of Missouri
and Billy Kennedy of Texas
A&M also debuted for the
first time as SEC members.
Obviously, itll be a new look
with the addition of Missouri
and Texas A&M coming to the
league, Grant said. I think
weve got some very good teams
with big potential for this year
to be one of the best in quite a
while.

Top: Wilder delivers one of many blows to his opponent, Jamaican
boxer Owen Beck.
Above: Fans show off their homemade posters attesting to his talent.
Right: Wilder addresses his hometown crowd following the victory.
WILDER FROM PAGE 1
Wilder defeats Beck
in three rounds
I want to be an all around
boxer. Everybody knows Ive
got the right hand - Ive proved
that many times, Wilder said.
I want to show them a little
bit more, so I wasnt focused
on the right hand. I wanted to
show them the jab. I always
had it.
In the third, after another
knockdown, Wilder cornered
his opponent and threw the
decisive blow that cut Beck
above his left eye. Becks staff
determined the wound to be
too much to continue, and the
fight was called after three
rounds.
The Tuscaloosa crowd got
what they came for.
When I hit him, I saw it
immediately, Wilder said of
the cut.
He said his next fight will be
some time at the end of July -
either July 25 in Biloxi, Miss. or
July 24 on HBOs After Dark.
Wilders plan is to keep fight-
ing and hopefully get a chance
to get into the Top 10. From
there, he hopes to get a shot
at the heavyweight champion-
ship of the world by this time
next year.
The knock on Wilder has
always been the level of com-
petition hes faced. He has
23 knockouts, but none have
come against particularly chal-
lenging competition - Beck was
probably his biggest challenge
yet.
But Wilder and his train-
ers stressed the importance
of patience, allowing him to
develop at the right pace and
not rush into things too quick-
ly.
Everybody wants an
American heavyweight, he
said. A lot of people have been
impatient as far as my career
and who Im fighting and all
this. But weve got a game
plan, and were sticking with it.
And its gonna be great when I
get that belt and bring it back
to Tuscaloosa, Ala. - something
this city has never seen.
The city had yet another rea-
son to cheer on Saturday night,
as Wilder took another step up
in the ranks of boxing - a sport
that only recently got a profes-
sional commission in the state
of Alabama. And afterwards,
Wilder made it clear what he
wants his role to be in whats
now known as Title Town.
The Knockout King, he
said. Thats what I do.

The BCS Presidential
Oversi ght Commi tt ee
approved a 12-year plan for
a college football playoff
system on Tuesday that will
eliminate the current Bowl
Championship Series, begin-
ning in 2014. The committee
included presidents from
each of the FBS conferences
as well as Notre Dame, and
met in Washington D.C. to
approve the plan.
The semi-final round will
match the No. 1- and No.
4-ranked teams and the No. 2-
and No.3-ranked teams, with
the winners advancing to a
national championship game.
The teams will be ranked
according to a selection com-
mittee, similar to the current
setup of the NCAA Basketball
tournament.
The current bowl system
will remain in place.
Its a best of both worlds
result that captures the
excitement of the playoff
while keeping the best reg-
ular season in sports and
the tradition of the bowls,
Virginia Tech President
Charles Steger said in a press
conference.
The championship game
will be awarded to the high-
est bidder, while the semi-
finals rotate among six dif-
ferent bowl games. One will
take place on New Years Eve,
while the other will be on
New Years Day. The specific
bowl games have not been
determined, though the four
current BCS bowls Rose,
Orange, Sugar and Fiesta
are heavy favorites, along
with the Chick-Fil-A and
Cotton Bowls.
The BCS, which has been
in place since 1998, matched
only the top two teams in a
championship game and has
been the subject of much con-
troversy.
The next step in the ongo-
ing process will be choosing
who will be on the selection
committee that will ulti-
mately choose the final four
teams.

When the @NBABirmingham
Twitter account was created
recently, the issue of bringing a
team to Birmginham burst into
the local Twitterverse.
Fifteen-year-old George
Chamoun from Mountain
Brook started the account,
which became a Twitter sen-
sation. In less than two weeks,
the account has reached nearly
6,000 followers. Chamoun and
company have started a peti-
tion, created T-shirts and are
trying to raise money to help
the cause. Chamoun has also
been interviewed or featured by
multiple media outlets includ-
ing The Birmingham News and
ABC 33/40.
With all that said, the ques-
tion has to be asked: can the city
of Birmingham and the state of
Alabama support an NBA fran-
chise?
In short, no. But, there are
many reasons.
First, fans in Alabama are
more equipped for college foot-
ball. There are 12-14 games,
depending on how far your team
goes, and seven or eight home
games a year. Its easy to travel
and get excited for the festivi-
ties that occur every Saturday
during the college football sea-
son.
But what about a random
Tuesday, when your NBA
team is facing the Washington
Wizards?
In case you didnt know, the
NBA schedule is 82 games,
with 41 home games, and often
features back-to-backs against
mediocre teams. Unlike the col-
lege football season, the NBA
season is full of meaningless
regular season games.
But even beyond the long and
sometimes boring NBA sched-
ule, there are really only two
ways to bring an NBA team to
a city near you: either by NBA
expansion or team relocation.
The first is the least likely
scenario. The last time the NBA
brought in an expansion team
was 2004 with the Charlotte
Bobcats. In the franchises
eight-year history, the team
has advanced to the postseason
once. As a fan, would you be
willing to suffer through those
struggles?
The next option, team reloca-
tion, would take a team owner
or ownership group making
a conscious decision to take
their team and move it to
Birmingham.
One reason fans have been
mentioning Birmingham could
support an NBA franchise
has been the success of the
Oklahoma City Thunder. The
Thunder, formerly known as
the Seattle Supersonics, were
moved from Seattle, Wash.
to Oklahoma City after being
denied funding for a new arena.
Since moving to OKC, the
Thunder have had only one los-
ing season and played in the
NBA Finals in its fourth year
since the relocation.
The argument has been made
that Oklahoma City (579,999-
2010 Census) has a smaller
population than Jefferson
County (658,555- 2010 Census).
While this is true, people forget
one thing: Oklahoma City had
a trial run at hosting an NBA
franchise.
From 2005-2007, the New
Orleans Hornets were forced to
relocate to Oklahoma City after
Hurricane Katrina. The city
adopted the team and showed
they were more than capable of
consistently supporting a fran-
chise, making it an easy transi-
tion for Bennett when he moved
the Thunder in 2008.
The chances of an NBA team
coming to Birmingham are slim
to none, but it is nice to know
that kids still have dreams.
