NEWS | GUY BAILEY RESIGNATION
60 DAYS

University of Alabama
President Guy Bailey announced
Wednesday that he would resign
from his position as University
president because of his wifes
health.
The announcement circulated
in a campuswide emailed state-
ment.
Today, I have notified
Chancellor [Robert] Witt that I
am stepping down as president
of The University of Alabama,
Bailey said. This is a decision
my wife Jan and I made together
after much discussion about how
we can best address her health,
which is the most important pri-
ority in our lives.
Bailey, who previously served
as Texas Tech University presi-
dent from August 2008 to July
2012, was chosen as the UA
president in July by the Board
of Trustees after former presi-
dent Robert Witt stepped down
in March to replace Malcolm
Portera as chancellor of the UA
system. Bailey was sworn in as
president on Sept. 4, serving 60
days in the position.
I respect and appreciate
President Baileys decision,
Witt said in the same emailed
statement. His priorities reflect
his commitment to both his
wife Jan and The University
of Alabama. He and Jan will
remain in our prayers.
Baileys wife Jan Tillery-
Bailey has been diagnosed
with cancer at least twice in
the past and is a two-time sur-
vivor, according to a Lubbock
Avalanche-Journal report from
2008.
Chris Cook, the managing
director of communications
and marketing at Texas Tech
University, said her health had
been problematic for years.
I dont know the specifics, but
I know she had health issues and
that was very important to him,
Cook said. She has these health
issues, and theyre very atten-
tive to those. From what he said
in the statement, its clear that
they have decided that they need
to focus on those issues, under-
standably so. I dont know any
specifics about it at this moment.
He kept a lot of it private and
rightfully so, but everyone was
aware that she had health issues
while he was at Texas Tech.
Debbie Lane, assistant to the
president and assistant vice
president of University rela-
tions, said in a prepared state-
ment that the University was
aware of Tillery-Baileys health
condition.
Mrs. Bailey was critically ill
this summer, and the Baileys
priority for the foreseeable
future is focused on her contin-
ued health, Lane said.
Bailey resigns to attend to wifes health

The University of Alabama
Board of Trustees will discuss
President Guy Baileys request
to resign in a closed executive
session Thursday, Nov. 1. The
board will hold an open pub-
lic meeting around 1 p.m. in
Sellers Auditorium to address
the issue of changing admin-
istration, Kellee Reinhart, UA
System spokeswoman said.
Bailey announced his resig-
nation in an emailed statement
on Oct. 31, citing the health of
his wife, Jan Tillery-Bailey, as
the reason for the decision.
Bailey will continue to serve
as president of the University
until the Board of Trustees for-
mally accepts his resignation,
Reinhart said.
The board will not decline
Dr. Baileys request, Reinhart
said. They will lay out the
next steps in succession for the
Universitys president.
I dont have details on her
health. She is ill, and it has
been a big concern for Dr.
Bailey and his family. We wish
her a speedy recovery.
I fully expect the Board
to accept his resignation.
Everyone is highly respectful
of Dr. Bailey and his wife and
their private situation.
The Board of Trustees sent
out a new schedule Wednesday
that reflects the revisions to
their meetings Thursday and
Friday.

Creative Campus is debut-
ing a new student publication,
Art-let, showcasing visual
art and creative writing. The
small booklets will be available
in convenient locations around
campus and are meant to con-
nect students through creativity.
Art-let provides an opportu-
nity for artists and writers of all
majors to have their work pub-
lished.
The idea for Art-let formed
when Emma Fick, a senior
majoring in English and Creative
Campus intern, returned from
a trip to Italy, where she came
across pamphlets of art and
writing at subway stops.
I wanted to see something
similar on campus; I was simply
waiting for the right time and
place to share the idea, Fick
said.
She pitched the idea for Art-
let to the Creative Campus
intern body at the beginning of
the fall semester. The idea has
since taken off, inspiring a team
of interns to come together and
bring the publication to life.
Thanks to the new interns
enthusiasm and dedication,
Art-let hit the ground running
and hasnt slowed down yet,
she said.
The publication is intended
to reach students during their
idle time on transit or in the
Ferguson Center.
By targeting distribution
locations that all students
interact with, regardless of the
degree theyre pursuing, we
hope to neutralize our reader-
ship audience, Fick said.
Currently, the publication
is set to debut in November.
Depending on submissions,
Art-let hopes to publish mul-
tiple times for the duration
of the 2012-2013 school year.
Submissions are being collected
by the English Honors Society
Sigma Tau Delta and Slash Pine
Press.
Art-let does not seek to pro-
vide art and writing for artists
and writers; it seeks to provide
art and writing for Alabama
students, Fick said.
Katharine Buckley, a sopho-
more majoring in studio art and
project leader for Art-let, said
if the initial publication is suc-
cessful, theyll look to partner
with other student organiza-
tions.
It is, as of now, a project for
this school year, but I think if
its received well by the student
body and we are able to find
other organizations to partner
with, we could continue to pub-
lish Art-let over the years,

A lawn decoration featuring
homophobic language posted
at the Kappa Delta sorority
house Tuesday has prompted
a national apology and conver-
sation between the greek and
LGBTQ communities on The
University of Alabama campus.
On Tuesday, a picture of a
tombstone decoration reading
Freshman died Being dodge-
ball dikes [sic] circulated social
media. The sign appeared to be
posted at the start of KDs front
sidewalk at the chapter house
on campus.
Noah Cannon, president of
Spectrum, the LGBTQ organi-
zation at the University, said
Wednesday that while the
language is inexcusable, he is
appreciative of the cooperation
with KD following the publica-
tion of the photo.
The use of hate speech by
select members of Kappa Delta
sorority this weekend is hor-
rifying, Cannon said. Kappa
Delta leadership brought this
incident to our attention, and
Spectrum leadership was gra-
ciously welcomed to speak at
Wednesday nights chapter
meeting at the Kappa Delta
house.
Pamela Nix Elms, the execu-
tive director of the Kappa Delta
sorority, released a statement
Wednesday afternoon on behalf
of the national organization
and the local chapter. Elms said
the national chapter is working
with campus representatives
to foster cultural sensitivity
among chapter members.
I want to express my sincere
apology for the offensive sign
that appeared on the lawn of
the KD chapter house at The
University of Alabama this
week, Elms wrote. It was not
acceptable and does not align
with our values. We want you
to know that we are addressing
the situation with the chapter
and the members involved.
Capstone Alliance, the
Universitys LGBTQ faculty,
staff, and graduate student
organization, released a state-
ment Tuesday, stating that hate
speech is not tolerated under
any university policy.
That the event occurred
in residential space does not
remove the University from
accountability; it was perpetrat-
ed by and directed at University
community members who
reside on University property,
Capstones statement read.
That the event is connected
to greek organization does not
warrant a hands-off response
from the University; all student
groups are held to the same
Code of Conduct and non-dis-
crimination policies.
Meredith Bagley, an associ-
ate professor in the communi-
cations department, said she
found the callous language
hard to swallow Tuesday.

Academy cadets were injured
last Thursday after a tradi-
tional hazing event left some
with concussions, broken col-
lar bones and cuts and bruises.
One cadet suffered a human
bite on the arm, according to
an email sent to academy staff
by Brig. Gen. Dana Born, dean
of cadets.
The hazing, known as First
Shirt/First Snow, is an unof-
ficial tradition that occurs
every year on the first snow.
Freshmen cadets try to throw
their cadet first sergeant in the
snow, while the upperclassmen
try to defend the sergeant.
Borns email indicated that
what was once a fun event has
turned into a brawl and has
become increasingly violent in
the past two years.
This years hazing sent six
cadets those with concus-
sions and broken collar bones
to local emergency rooms
and left 21 others with minor
injuries, said John Van Winkle,
an academy spokesman.
Van Winkle said the tradi-
tion, which has since been
condemned by the academy,
roughly dates to the 1980s.
Many in the academy, includ-
ing Van Winkle, had not heard
of the event until the injuries
were reported. However, it
is noted on an academy folk-
lore wiki that describes it this
way:
On the night of the first
snow of the season, the smacks
storm the first sergeants room,
kidnap him, strip him down to
his boxers and carry him out-
side to drag him around in the
snow. Much like nuking, the
severity of the operation often
depends on the standing of
the first sergeant in the eyes
of the smacks. A well-liked or
well-respected cadet first ser-
geant will normally not get
much more than the cermonial
dragging-through-the-snow.
A less-liked or less-respected
first sergeant may be bound,
nuked in addition, or brought
to near-hypothermia.
Most of the academys 4,000
cadets did not participate in
the hazing, he added.
The academy is launching
a safety investigation into the
hazing, Van Winkle said, add-
ing that punitive action is not
expected.
Were going consider this
a teachable moment, said
John Van Winkle, an academy
spokesman. They are going to
learn from that situation.
The commandant of cadets
talked to freshman cadets on
Friday and Saturday after the
event, emphasizing that the
tradition needs to stop and
will stop, Van Winkle said.

It was a rough day on Wall
Street for Apple Inc., which
saw its shares decline as much
as 2.7 percent on the first day
of trading since the company
announced a sweeping man-
agement shake-up.
Shares fell as low as $587.70
on Wednesday morning. They
recovered slightly, closing
down $8.68, or 1.4 percent, to
$595.32. Apple shares have slid
more than 15 percent since
reaching a high of $702.10 on
Sept. 19.
On Monday the Cupertino,
Calif., tech giant announced
the departures of John
Browett, Apples head of retail,
and Scott Forstall, who was in
charge of the companys wide-
ly panned Siri and Maps app
products.
Forstall, a longtime execu-
tive and protege of co-founder
Steve Jobs, oversaw the iOS
operating system that runs
iPhone and iPad. But the Apple
veteran was also respon-
sible for replacing Google
Inc.s popular Maps app with
Apples own homegrown ver-
sion, which has been plagued
by inaccurate information
and other problems since
its September release. Chief
Executive Tim Cook issued
an apology shortly afterward
and, in a rare move, encour-
aged users to try alternatives
offered by rivals.
Browetts ouster came just
six months after he was hired
as Apples senior vice presi-
dent of retail. The former
CEO of European technology
retailer Dixons took over for
Ron Johnson, who pioneered
the look and feel of Apples
successful retail stores and
left last year to become CEO of
J.C. Penney Co.
Browetts short stint with
Apple was reportedly shaky
from the start. In August, he
was forced to issue an apol-
ogy and reverse course on a
new store staffing plan, which
was rumored to include hir-
ing freezes and cutbacks in
workers hours.
The management reshuf-
fling, Cooks biggest since
becoming CEO last year, also
brings more responsibili-
ties for Jonathan Jony Ive,
Apples design chief; Eddy
Cue, who runs Apples online
services; Bob Mansfield, who
retired this year but returned
to focus on future products;
and Craig Federighi, who
is now in charge of the Mac
operating system.
Separately, early reviews for
Apples long-awaited iPad Mini
have started to trickle out.
The 7.9-inch tablet com-
puter has largely received
solid marks, although com-
plaints about its non-retina
display quality (the iPad Mini
features the same screen
resolution as the earlier gen-
eration iPad 2) and high price
have kept it from receiving
glowing reviews.
Wi-Fi-only versions of the
iPad Mini begin shipping
Friday; Minis that come with
cellular data plans will ship
two weeks later.
Users will also have to wait
a bit longer for the latest ver-
sion of Apples music player,
iTunes 11, which was expected
in October. Apple is now say-
ing it will become available in
November.
The update will add sev-
eral features, change some
portions of iTunes design
and better integrate it
with iCloud, the companys
cloud-computing service.
The new iTunes is taking
longer than expected, and we
wanted to take a little extra
time to get it right, Apple
spokesman Tom Neumayr
told CNet. We look forward
to releasing this new version
of iTunes with its dramatically
simpler and cleaner interface,
and seamless integration
with iCloud, before the end of
November.
The company also updated
the portion of its website show-
casing the upcoming iTunes
update to read: Coming in
November.
Apple has been more
focused on hardware than
software in recent months,
releasing numerous new Mac
computers and launching new
iPods, the iPhone 5, the fourth-
generation iPad and the new
iPad mini.

Most college freshmen are
worrying about passing class-
es, adjusting to college life
and learning how to live on
their own, but two University
of Alabama students added an
extra activity to the mix: pub-
lishing a book.
Anna Kathryn Davis, a fresh-
man majoring in English, and
Erika E. Wade, a senior major-
ing in English and African
American studies, have both
experienced the struggles
and perks of publishing major
works as college students.
I think the hardest part of it
was when I was doing my hard-
core editing; I was at Bama
Bound, Davis said. I came
to Bama Bound in the very
beginning of July, and I got my
first copy of my edits, and my
final copy edit started the day
I moved in. My first two weeks
of classes I was also having to
finish editing my book.
Davis is in the process of
publishing a young adult fic-
tion novel titled The Gifted,
which is currently in the
printing stage of publishing
through Tate Publishing out of
Mustang, Okla. Her novel is set
to reach buyers within the next
month.
Wade published a book
of poetry called eyestode-
whurld during her freshman
year at the University.
I was very active my fresh-
man year in a lot of different
organizations, and I just want-
ed to have fun while trying to
write the book, Wade said.
For the most part, I dedicated
one or two days out of the week
that were specifically for com-
posing and revisions and the
other days, I did what I wanted
to do.
An editor from Birmingham,
Ala., who owns a publishing
company contacted Wade dur-
ing her freshman year. After
that, her book took flight,
including multiple rounds
of revisions and publication
meetings.
Davis, on the other hand,
first submitted a manuscript
of her novel to her publishing
house during October of her
senior year of high school and
wasnt expecting anything to
come of it. By December, she
had negotiated her contract
with the house and is currently
signed to pub-
lish three more
installments of
the series.
It kind of
picked me rather
than me picking
it, Davis said.
It was kind of
like oh we will
see what hap-
pens and then it
happened. Now
I will have four
[novels] out, and I just want to
scream, but its a good thing.
Wade is currently writing
her second book of poetry,
which she realizes is more dif-
ficult than the first.
Im working on number
two, and its a little harder than
freshman year because Im
a lot busier and older, Wade
said.
Davis said there are many
difficulties that come with
being a published writer in col-
lege and says it is important to
have her priorities straight.
Its a lot of juggling, its a lot
of not sleeping, and its a lot of
to-do lists, she said. I am a
big to-do list person. I dont go
to sleep until I finish the to-do
list. Some nights that means
going to bed at 3 a.m. and some
nights are merciful and you get
to bed by midnight, but there
are not a whole lot of early
nights.
Rachael Sweeden, director of
operations at Tate Publishing,
said the company has a 3 to 5
percent acceptance rate for
manuscripts. Davis recognizes
that publishing is a cutthroat
industry, and with such a small
acceptance rate, she was dis-
couraged at first, but believes
her impeccable timing is what
landed her a book deal.
Publishing is more luck
than; it is talent, Davis said. I
was very lucky with my timing
and my house.
They were
recently just
bought out by
another compa-
ny and the new
company basi-
cally cleaned
out. They were
looking for new
young adult
pieces to expand
that genre, and I
just happened to
submit to them at a time when
they were really looking for
the next good thing.
Dealing with criticism
Although Davis is only 18
years old, she said she has had
to learn to stand up for herself
in the industry. She said criti-
cism from other people does
not discourage her, because
she has learned how to be con-
fident in her work.
One of the greatest things
I ever heard was from my edi-
tor, Davis said. He said, Dont
take any advice on your book or
the way that you market your
book from anyone who doesnt
stand to lose something in it.
The biggest thing Ive learned
with being so young is that you
have to be really able to stand
your ground because people
are going to try to tell you that
they know more than you do,
and you just have to say yes,
Im young, but no you dont. I
know what Im doing. This is
my piece.
Wade faced similar disap-
proval during her publication
experience.
A lot of criticism I received
with the first book was that I
was told I was too young to be
a published poetry writer, and
my response to that was that
writers are supposed to be able
to absorb the world as it is, and
it doesnt really matter how old
you are, Wade said. Its just
your interpretation of things.
Along with learning how to
deal with criticism from out-
side sources, Davis has had
to learn to deal with demands
from editors within her agency.
She said she prefers publishing
with a national agency versus
a smaller agency or self-pub-
lishing, but she also admitted
she had second thoughts when
they first started editing the
novel.
Bigger houses have their
benefits because depending on
the house, you get a lot more
attention, and you can get it
into the book stores, but at the
same time, I did have to meet
their deadlines, their word
cuts. I had to cut scenes that
maybe I wouldnt have wanted
to cut, but they were my house
and theyre funding it, she
said.
As far as her plans for the
future, Davis says she is leav-
ing that up to God. She is cur-
rently on a pre-med track and
is excited to see where her
books take her, but she is tak-
ing each day as it comes. After
all, she still has three years of
college ahead.
I am in a very fortunate
spot because I am here and Im
kind of in a safe zone where
my mother is still taking care
of me a great deal so I dont
have to do the whole starving
writer thing if I dont make it,
Davis said. Im not starving. I
have a meal plan.

It was kind of like oh we will

see what happens and then
it happened. Now I will have

want to scream, but its a

Mitt Romneys plan for the United States economy
represents an attempt at reversing the standard that
has been set by the Obama administration. Whereas
President Obama sought to strengthen the economy
by increasing the role of the federal government as a
job creator, Gov. Romney has presented a five-point
strategy that aims to free the United States from the
anemic growth that has been caused by government
interference and over-regulation.
Essentially, the goals Gov. Romney plans to achieve
with his plan are to free small businesses from the
constraints that are inhibiting their growth, reduce
the tax burden on American citizens by scaling back
the proliferation of costly, ineffective government
programs, and ultimately return America to the sys-
tem of self-determined free enterprise that it was
founded upon.
The cornerstone of Romneys five-point plan is
to achieve American energy independence by 2020.
By fully utilizing the abundance of energy produc-
ing resources naturally found within our borders,
the hundreds of billions of dollars Americans send
abroad for fossil fuels each year will instead remain
within our economy. If executed effectively, this will
not only cause the number of available jobs in the
energy sector to skyrocket, but will also generate
jobs through the capital America stands to retain.
The issue of retraining unemployed workers has
been a focal point of both the Obama and Romney
campaigns. However, where Obama seeks to employ
generalized federal programs, Romney has elected
to instead fund state programs that have a greater
amount of industry specificity. This will leave work-
ers better trained for jobs closer to their homes and
will let states, not the Federal Government, decide
what industries will help grow their economies in the
most effective manner.
One of the more difficult obstacles Romney plans
to overcome is reforming the current U.S. tax code,
which has decayed into a grotesque composite of past
successes and failures. Many of these taxes hinder
job creation and economic growth, and the sporadic
nature of their inceptions creates uncertainty for
businesses. Among the most notable tax alterations
he has committed to are an across the board 20 per-
cent decrease of marginal tax rates, and a cut of the
corporate tax rate, which is the highest in the indus-
trialized world, by 10 percent.
Romney has stated regulations on businesses act
as a hidden tax to Americans, as they reduce the
potential amount of money circulating within our
economy. While deregulating business may seem
taboo to some, the fact of the matter is that the gov-
ernments Small Business Administration, on its
own, costs Americans $1.75 trillion in money lost due
to companies simply following the rules.
Regulations such as the Dodd-Frank Financial
Reform Act cost financial institutions billions of dol-
lars annually in order to comply, thus hindering their
ability to invest in businesses nationwide. By repeal-
ing such burdensome regulations, Romney will aid
the American economy in returning to a successfully
functioning state.
A transition Romney seeks to achieve during his presidency is giving states the
power to invest in businesses via block grants. This gives the states the ability to grow
local economies with greater precision and reduces the amount of federal funds given
directly to businesses. In order to reduce abundant federal spending, Romney will also
require federal agencies, which act largely unregulated, to seek congressional approval
before making large monetary commitments.
Romneys plan for the U.S. economy is simple enough: eliminate government excesses
and allow businesses to function effectively in their own right. This would definitely be
a phase change from the previous administration, but it is a change America needs in
order to return to its prominence in the international economy.
By Henry Downes and Nathan James
Four years ago, the American economy changed forever.
During the Great Recession, Americans lost more than just
jobs and wages; we lost defining elements of our economy
and infrastructure. More importantly, we lost our confi-
dence both in our economic system and in the ability of
that system to sustain us.
Over the last four years, Barack Obama has worked dili-
gently to heal the economy. He hasnt settled for superficial
quick-fix measures, but rather has sought real and enduring
progress; his policies aim to fundamentally revolutionize
the way our economy functions both domestically and inter-
nationally. In the wake of a crippling financial catastrophe,
Obama has found new ways for America to compete and
prosper.
Many of the jobs America lost in 2008 simply arent com-
ing back the way they left. We must now change with the
times; we must embrace and adapt to our role as an econ-
omy based on a technological, highly skilled and highly
educated workforce. President Obama has spent four years
positioning us to meet this challenge.
To fuel this dynamic and growing economy, Obama will
work to increase investment in the fundamental engines of
prosperity that can make our nation great again: education,
infrastructure, energy and technology.
President Obama understands that a superior 21st cen-
tury American workforce requires a superior American
education. To this end, the Obama administration has made
it a priority to fund the innovative Race to the Top initiative
and has taken steps to ensure that a college degree is within
reach for all Americans by expanding Pell Grants and tax
credits.
The president plans to expand investment in the long-
term infrastructure projects, which will keep the arteries
of American business healthy and flowing improving our
nations bridges, highways, public transit systems, and air-
ports is a critical objective for the Obama administrations
economic agenda moving forward.
President Obama is committed to creating an energy-
independent America and has created over 225,000 new jobs
by expanding clean energy initiatives. By developing alter-
native energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, hydro
power, nuclear and natural gas, Obama is working to ensure
at least 80 percent of American energy will be clean by
2035.
All of these important investments will undeniably cost a
significant amount of money; fortunately, President Obama
- unlike his opponent has a concrete and reasonable plan
to make sure the financial math adds up.
In pursuing a more balanced budget, Obama continues
to stand by his conviction that all Americans should pay
their fair share. This means that additional tax relief for the
wealthy at the expense of the middle class is no longer a
viable fiscal policy.
Indeed, in order to keep us on the correct path toward
progress and economic reinvention, Obama has empha-
sized that strengthening the middle class is a top priority. In
his first term, the president cut taxes for every working fam-
ily (saving households an average of $3,600) and will refuse
to raise taxes on the 98 percent of households earning less
than $225,000 in his second term.
To continue promoting the growth of the middle class, the
president has pledged to eliminate capital gains taxes on
start-ups and small businesses. He has consistently fought
to reform the financial system, making sure Wall Street
plays by the same rules as Main Street. Such economic
accountability will allow every citizen the opportunity to sit
at the American table not just the financial elites.
Finally, by paring down defense spending on costly for-
eign wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the president will be able
to conserve funding for many of his innovative investment
programs.
The Obama economic program presents a logical and
responsible solution for sustaining the new-and-improved
American economy. It will allow us to put money back into the pockets of hard-working Americans and
grow the economy today, even as we reduce the troubling federal deficit and build for a dynamic future.
Such common sense measures will not only get Washington working again, but will get all Americans
back to work to build a better tomorrow. President Obama offers the innovative economic vision nec-
essary for the United States to emerge from the Great Recession stronger, more diverse and more
prosperous than before.
The Presidents policies are already working 31 consecutive months of job growth and 5.2 million
new private sector jobs are a powerful testament to that fact. Still, amid these unsteady domestic and
international economic currents, changing our direction midstream now would not only be irrespon-
sible, it could be catastrophic for our recovering economy.

Obama to invest in United States Romney to reform nations tax code
FAST FACTS
President Obama plans to focus on long-term investments like education, energy
and technology.
He will support the middle class by ending tax reliefs for the wealthy and cutting
taxes for working families.
Obama pledges to reform the financial system, forcing Wall Street and Main
Street to abide by the same rules.
FAST FACTS
Gov. Romney hopes to fully utilize energy-producing resources within North
America, limiting foreign fuel dependency.
Romney wants to give state programs the responsibility of retraining unemployed
workers.
He pledges to reform the American tax code, which includes cutting the corporate
and marginal tax rates.
TODAYS TOPIC: ECONOMY
According to virtually every
polling metric, the American
people have made it emphati-
cally clear what issue is most
important to them in the 2012
election: the economy.
The Great Recession officially
ended in the summer of 2009,
but its aftershocks continue to
impact millions of American
families. With national unem-
ployment still hovering around
8 percent, housing stats dismal
and GDP growth anemic, voters
are looking to the Nov. 6 election
as a critical moment in shaping
the countrys future trajectory.
When Barack Obama took
office in January 2009, the nation
was in the depths of economic
stagnation. Since that time, mil-
lions of jobs have been created,
and the economy has recorded
13 consecutive quarters of GDP
growth. Still, the U-6 unemploy-
ment rate a measure of unem-
ployed, underemployed and
discouraged workers remains
stubbornly high at over 14
percent.
Many Americans have grown
frustrated at the pace of recov-
ery, and economists are largely
split on their projections for the
future of the American econo-
my. This delicate situation, with
equal parts disillusionment for
today and optimism for tomor-
row, has made the 2012 election
feel like it could be either a turn-
ing point or a missed opportu-
nity for the American Dream.
Republican nominee Mitt
Romney has attempted to capi-
talize on his successful back-
ground in the private sector to
show voters he is more quali-
fied than President Obama to
get Americans back to work.
As president, he plans to reduce
spending, taxes and government
regulation much in the same
way that he did as governor of
Massachusetts, which resulted
in state budget surpluses and
an unemployment rate below
5 percent. He hopes that such
steps will empower American
business and free up markets
innovative potential.
President Obama, on the other
hand, seeks to overhaul the
American economy in his sec-
ond term by investing in the new
initiatives, which will prepare
the country for the 21st century:
education, infrastructure, ener-
gy and technology. To fund these
substantial outlays, Obama
anticipates cutting unnecessary
defense spending, reforming
the tax code, raising taxes on
the wealthiest Americans, and
strengthening the middle class.
President Obamas policies rep-
resent his belief that America
works best when everyone plays
by the same rules and pays their
fair share.
Whether real economic prog-
ress will be made in the next
four years is of great concern
to every American. The federal
debt, which has been increas-
ing exponentially for a decade,
looms larger every year. Both
candidates have their own
answers as to how they will go
about paying down the debt,
while at the same time funding
the quality of life Americans
expect. It is not an easy or
simple issue.
The country now finds itself
peeking over the so-called fis-
cal cliff with cautious optimism
for a brighter tomorrow. Despite
all the confusing rhetoric and
conflicting economic indicators,
one thing is certain: Your vote in
2012 will impact American pros-
perity for years to come.
One of the more difcult obstacles Romney plans to overcome
is reforming the current U.S. tax code, which has decayed into a
grotesque composite of past successes and failures.

Waiting in line for coffee
is a student ritual. No mat-
ter how many people are
in front of you, caffeine is
more important than worry-
ing about lost time.
And this has become
such an integrated part of
college life that we never
stop to think about the act
of queuing itself. Its a very
British thing, something
were known for. Ask any
well respected member of
English society, and they
will always be down for a
good old queue. It seems
that way here too.
Anyone and everyone is
ready to stand in line and
look idly from side to side in
a trance-like state, clutching
a few dollars, ready as ever
to make that purchase or
post that letter. Queue eti-
quette is universal. We auto-
matically accept the first
come, first served princi-
ple. Silently and knowingly,
we all understand what it
means to wait in line. And if
the end results are worth it,
then no love lost.
In a way, its a beautiful
example of equality, espe-
cially in America. Here
we stand together as a
country of immigrants,
everyone welcome, an equal
society. And this means we
know how to wait our turn.
But, like everything else
here, its not as simple
as it appears on the sur-
face. Springing up across
America, and further afield,
is the phenomenon of the
priority queue. Basically,
its taking the fast lane. This
happens in airports, on high-
ways and in theme parks.
Paying your way to the
front of the line is becoming
increasingly popular.
Instead of daydreaming
and time-wasting, you can
just hand over a few dollars
and get what you want right
here, right now. In a way,
thats even more American.
The land of convenience.
So even the common
human act of queuing
becomes a part of the mar-
ket economy. Your time is
a commodity, bought and
sold. As people, we have
come to realize the value of
time, and time is money
is the philosophy of the
new world. But this means
we leave behind a level of
equality and an act that
allows us to stop and think
for a minute.
The act of queuing itself
means you have to stand
and take a moment to
absorb the passing chaos.
But its also democratic.
There are no rules of seg-
regation, no discrimination;
there is just the single ideal
of waiting for your turn. But
in our innate state, we have
exploited this. Now we are
entering an age in which
Washington lobbyists pay
the homeless to queue to
see congressmen.
By allowing money to
enter the equation, this sim-
ple act has ignored morality
and ritual. At the end of the
day, theres nothing like a
good queue.

Around this time last year, my
grandmother went into remission
for breast cancer and I couldnt
have been happier. I can remem-
ber talking to my dad on the phone
before class that day and feeling
so relieved and proud at what she
was able to overcome. Sadly, not
every woman is so lucky.
According to a survey done
by the National Cancer Institute,
226,870 women were diagnosed
with breast cancer just this year.
Out of that number, they estimate
that 39,510 will not make it into
the new year.
October was National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month and as
a result, we saw little pink pins,
purses, water bottles, I love
boobs shirts and even countless
football players sporting pink
shoes all across the nation. As
much as I love to support breast
cancer, I cant help but wonder,
what about the other types of can-
cer?
There are over 200 different
types of cancer that attack over
60 different organs within the
human body. According to the
American Cancer Society, over a
million people are affected by can-
cer within the United States. Not
to mention those people who have
been affected by family or friends
that have developed cancer.
This month is Lung and
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness
Month.
Lung is not only the second
most common cancer, but it also is
the leading cause of death for men
and women within the nation.
Lung cancer is expected to take
116,750 men and 105,770 women
this year alone, according to an
article by the PRNewswire. Not
to mention that everywhere you
turn on campus there is someone
lighting a cigarette lately.
On the other hand, pancreatic
cancer holds title for the fourth
leading cause of death within the
nation. Unlike other cancers, pan-
creatic cancer, has one of the high-
est death rates of all. Because of
how late it is diagnosed, patients
work twice as hard to fight it and
often, theres not much that can
be done.
So this month, try to add a little
pearly white for lung cancer, or
maybe a bit of purple for pancre-
atic cancer to your wardrobe. Or
pick up some ribbons on the can-
cer awareness website from NCI.
The idea here is just to be
aware. If cancer is not something
that interests you, then maybe
diabetes awareness day on Nov.
14 will, international mens day
on Nov. 19 or even international
elimination of violence again
women day on the Nov. 25. All of
these days of awareness are rec-
ognized by the U.S., and they are
days support someone you love.

Saving time but losing something else
As people, we have come to realize the value of time, and time is money is
the philosophy of the new world.

Campus Libertarians refuse to endorse candidate
By Mark Blanton
Contributing Writer
Young Americans for
Liberty is planning to pass
out campaign literature
Monday at the Ferguson
Center.
Luke Netjes, the presi-
dent of YAL, said because
some of its members are
Libertarian party candidate
Gary Johnson supporters, the
group will distribute some
of his campaigns materials
and try to convince voters
not to vote for either leading
party candidate.
While most political
observers contend that
Johnson has no real chance
to win the presidency, he
could play the role of spoiler
in swing states like Florida.
According to an Oct. 28
CNN Florida poll, Johnson,
the former governor of
New Mexico, draws about
1 percent of the vote in the
Sunshine State. Romney and
Obama are tied at 48 per-
cent, while Jill Stein of the
Green Party and Virgil Goode
of the Constitution Party
draw about 1 percent and 1.5
percent, respectively.
YAL cannot endorse one
specific candidate, but the
majority of our members are
voting Gary Johnson for pres-
ident, YAL member Kelsi
Nuttle said.
Florida is defined as a bat-
tleground state, meaning that
its 29 electoral votes could go
to either Romney or Obama.
Some point to the slim mar-
gins between Obama and
Romney and say that third
party candidates could alter
whether or not the state, and
also the general election, goes
red or blue.
In the 2000 presidential
election, George W. Bush won
the state by 1/100th of a per-
cent over Al Gore, the small-
est margin of victory for any
state in Presidential history.
Netjes said he does
not plan to vote for any
Presidential candidate in this
years election.
Young Americans for
Liberty hasnt done too
much for the election, as our
members find both Barack
Obama and Mitt Romney
to be terrible people,
Netjes said.
Netjes said Mitt Romney
knows much less about the
economy than his support-
ers would like to believe and
holds disturbing positions on
foreign policy.
Wi t h hi s wel l
documented history of being
a spineless politician willing
to support any position that
may garner votes, it seems
the only thing we can really
count on from Romney is
that he would do everything
in his power to kill innocent
people in the Middle East,
Netjes said.
Netjes is also not a big fan
of Obama.
I think Obama is a bad
person that has continued a
foreign policy of occupation
and mass murder of inno-
cent civilians, Netjes said.
In the future, the
Universitys YAL plans to
work with the University of
Alabama-Birmingham YAL
chapter to bring in a speaker
for next semester, Netjes said.
The group also plans to
send some of its members to
the International Students
for Liberty Conference in
February.
YAL holds its meetings
on Mondays at 7 p.m. in ten

Professors emeritus hold
title, no extra responsibility
By Colby Leopard
Staff Reporter
Professors that retire from
The University of Alabama can
be granted the status of pro-
fessor emeritus, a distinction
awarded by the Universitys
board of trustees and Provost.
Robert Halli, dean emeritus
of the Honors College and pro-
fessor emeritus of the English
department, was given his
emeritus status upon his retire-
ment in 2009.
I learned that I had been
named a professor emeritus of
English and the founding dean
emeritus of the Honors College
in a letter from Provost Judy
Bonner, Halli said.
Halli said there are no spe-
cific responsibilities as a profes-
sor emeritus because the title is
awarded after retirement, and
some professors choose to stay
involved with the University to
some degree.
Because of their status,
emeritus professors have no
teaching, research or service
responsibilities to the University
because they are no longer
being paid by the University,
Halli said.
Although being a profes-
sor emeritus has no responsi-
bilities regarding instruction
or research, some professors
emeritus are rehired by the
University as consultants.
I have no responsibilities
whatsoever as dean or profes-
sor emeritus; I do, however, have
responsibilities, Halli said.
The University has a process
that retiring faculty and admin-
istrators can be hired back as
consultants, if that is desired
by both the University and the
retiree.
Halli began receiving his full
pension following his retire-
ment from the University. After
one month of retirement, Halli
was hired by the Honors College
as a consultant at a salary level
set by the state.
As a consultant, I teach one
class, EN 216 Honors English Lit
II, in the UA in Oxford Program,
Halli said.
In addition to his class, Halli
writes personal letters to all
students accepted into the
Honors College, sends recruit-
ment postcards from his
class in Oxford, and is the UA
Faculty Advisor for the Harry
Truman Scholarship.
Halli said these responsibili-
ties have nothing to do with the
fact that he is a professor emeri-
tus.
According to the UA Faculty
Handbook, a professor is given
emeritus status to distinguish
them from normal professors:
An individual who holds aca-
demic rank, either full-time or
part-time, and performs a com-
bination of teaching, research,
and service functions, normally
will have one of the faculty
titles. However, there are dis-
tinguished faculty titles which
can be awarded by the Board of
Trustees. These titles include:
Professor Emeritus; Research
Professor; University Professor;
and Endowed Chairs and
Professorships.
Patrick Green, associate pro-
fessor emeritus, said not all
professors given emeritus sta-
tus continue to teach or work in
academia.
An emeritus professor is sim-
ply a professor who has retired
to do whatever you do in retire-
ment, Green said. Some of us
continue to teach from time to
time, others dont, but go their
merry way to golf, Europe or
various other diversions.

University of Alabama
students showcased their
artwork at Wednesday
afternoons Fall Arts Stroll,
displaying various forms
of art along the Crimson
Promenade.
The purpose of the event is
to engage student artists with
their peers and showcase the
amazing talent that we culti-
vate here at the University,
said Chase Sanders, a senior
majoring in music adminis-
tration and intern for Creative
Campus. We are hoping that
student artists will gain more
exposure, and we also hope
to spark creativity among the
students at the Capstone.
Addie Bickhart, a sopho-
more majoring in political sci-
ence, attended the event.
We have a lot of
individualistic people here,
Bickhart said. They show
it through their art. Its nice
to see expression from an
artistic point of view instead
of just sports.
The Fall Arts Stroll did
not contain one specific form
of art, rather a variety of
different forms of art such as
photography, paintings,
sculptures, and human
sketches the students on cam-
pus created for viewing.
We wanted to provide
student artists with a way to
showcase their artwork or
crafts for other students to
see, said Will Pylant, a junior
majoring in political science
and SGA vice president of the
Student Affairs.
Sara Rogan, a sophomore
majoring in psychology, vol-
unteered to display her art.
It makes you feel moti-
vated to participate in things
like this in the future, Rogan
said.
Due to University rules,
however, students were not
able to sell their art during
the event, but they could dis-
tribute cards if someone was
interested in their work.
Alexander Cruz, a junior
majoring in photography and
graphic design, displayed his
photography for the first time
at the Fall Arts Stroll and had
someone ask about buying
his photos.
It makes you feel good
when someone wants to buy
your art, Cruz said.
The Fall Arts Stroll also
displayed the top 10 carved
pumpkins from the ROTC
pumpkin carving contest, and
students picked their favorite
from those 10.
SGA, Creative Campus and

Arts Stroll.

University Programs accepting applicants for open staff positions
By Alan Alexander
Contributing Writer
University Programs will
begin accepting student appli-
cations to join its office staff
on Monday, Nov. 5, as part of a
rebranding effort to help cen-
tralize the event programming
board for The Universty of
Alabama.
Formerly a separate orga-
nization, UP merged with the
Ferguson Center in 2008 and was
made responsible for planning
events across campus. Although
the student-led program still
remains a part of the Ferg, UP is
taking steps to solidify itself as
the go-to program for university
events.
We want to rebrand and revi-
talize the name and help create
an image for ourselves, Betsy
Stewart, an MBA student and
graduate assistant with UP, said.
Although students are familiar
with the events, not many know
about the work that goes into it
and we want to change that.
That starts by bringing in
more students to work in the
office. UP plans on opening an
additional five positions next
semester to be filled by students
looking to gain experience in the
fields of event planning, public
relations, advertising and mar-
keting. Students are not required
to have a specific major to apply.
UP is currently run by a staff
of 11 students who put in 10 to
20 hours of work a week in the
office.
These students plan events
such as the Week of Welcome
and Rock the Vote, which are
only a small percentage of their
actual work load. Not only do
they host more than 50 free
events per semester, but they
also collaborate with other
departments and offer consult-
ing services and logistical assis-
tance.
We have multiple pieces to
be collaborative with, LaToya
Scott, the assistant director
of the Ferguson Center said.
Whether you need funds for an
event or advice about where to
have an event, we can do that.
Averie Armstead, a junior
majoring in public relations and
student programmer for UP,
said the diversity of interactions
within UP is its strongest feature.
Our office does more than
just host events, Armstead said.
We have opportunities for stu-
dents to volunteer, brainstorm
event ideas, design ads, and
work on the branding side of the
operation.
The events hosted by UP fall
into one of four categories: Hot
Topics, Late Night, Movie Series
and International Expressions.
These events offer all students
the opportunity to socialize in a
safe environment and discover
common interests while promot-
ing campus unity.
For those who work in the
office, the benefits gained from
joining UP are worth the extra
time.
My portfolio has gotten so
much larger than it was when I
was just an undergraduate stu-
dent, Armstead said. This is not
just a practicum, but a job that
gives you real-world experience.
The individual specialization
of those who work in the office
is not a significant factor, as
the entire team collaborates to
achieve the same goal.
Getting different perspec-
tives on certain aspects of our
planning really helps the process
because that way we can provide
events that will appeal to more
students, Stewart said.
The deadline to apply for a
position with UP is Wednesday
Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. Interviews
will be conducted Nov. 28-30.
Applications can be found
online, the Ferguson Center
information desk and Room 314
in the Ferguson Center.

After endless meals from
the campus dining halls,
college students often find
themselves looking for new
places to eat in the absence
of home-cooked meals. They
can now look to Mamas
Southern Kitchen, a restau-
rant opened two weeks ago
by Skyla Jones, a current
student at The University of
Alabama majoring in general
business.
Jones said the restaurant,
which serves a variety of
southern foods, is named
after her own nickname.
Everybody has always
called me Mama because
I cook amazing food, and
I just cant stand when
things are unorganized,
Jones said.
Jones, originally from
Birmingham, Ala., opened
the restaurant while being a
full-time mother and wife.
I opened the restaurant
because everybody always
told me how good my cooking
was, Jones said. Cooking
has always been a passion of
mine, so I decided to follow
my heart and start the busi-
ness.
Jones said she wants to
make her business degree
count and become her own
boss.
I dont want to go to work
and have it just be work,
Jones said. I want to really
do something that I love do to
everyday.
Mamas Southern Kitchen
menu features classic south-
ern foods such as fried
chicken, catfish, cornbread,
chicken salad sandwiches,
pork chops, as well as an
array of desserts including
her homemade peach cobbler
cupcakes.
I had a woman come in
and buy a whole plate of cup-
cakes, Jones said. And in
about 10 minutes, she came
back and bought three more!
Mamas Southern Kitchen
will deliver food to stu-
dents, and Jones said she
would like it to become very
popular among the campus
community.
Kathleen Starke, a fresh-
man majoring in business,
said she is excited to try the
new Southern-style restau-
rant.
I absolutely adore south-
ern food, it always reminds
me of being back home,
Starke said. It would be
nice to finally have a place
to eat that has home-cooked
Southern-style food, espe-
cially after living on a diet of
peanut butter and jelly and
Easy Mac.
Starke said she plans
to try the restaurant this
weekend.
I think that it will be a
place that students will really
enjoy, especially since they
deliver to the dorms and
apartments, she said.
Jones and her husband
will be passing out flyers
and coupons around campus
this week. The restaurant
also has a food truck that
will be visiting the campus.
Mamas Southern Cooking is
located at 5001 JVC Road in
Cottondale, Ala. and is open
from 11 a.m. to 7:00 p.m..
UA business student opens Southern-style restaurant

Main Avenue in Northport
will be filled with music, art
and fun this Thursday as the
Kentuck Art Center hosts its
November Art Night. The event
will have live music, two new
exhibitions, and feature two
new artists, as well as resident
artists from Northport and
surrounding areas displaying
their work.
The first set of artists fea-
tured this week are Sandra
Rice and Martha Hopkins, who
will openin The Main Avenue
Gallery. Rice and Hopkins use
their combined skills of pottery
and mixed media paintings to
create their art pieces.
Emily Leigh, the assistant
director for Kentuck, said shes
sure people will like the exhib-
its.
You want to just reach out
and touch the pieces, Leigh
said. And the 2D art is very
minimalist and interesting.
Rice and Hopkins started
working together on metal
sculptures and finally opened
their gallery, Shape and
Color. Rice is a self-taught
artist who works with clay
and constructed metal. Shes
inspired by nature and the
human form and uses a com-
bination of clay and metal
framework to create her piec-
es. Hopkins is a University of
Alabama graduate who uses
mixed media to create her
work, which includes anything
from half a tennis ball to paint.
Jessica Smith will display her
collection titled Catawampus
in the Clarke Gallery. Smiths
work features the crafting of
teapots, and uses organic pat-
terns in landscapes as inspira-
tion. Each piece is decorative
and fully functional, so it can
be moved from the shelf to
the table. Smith uses die-cut
ceramic shapes to add detail to
each of the teapots.
Theyre beautiful to look
at, and theyre sort of like
puzzles, Leigh said. I think
its always good to have a mix
of art. We like to try to pro-
vide a mix of art; it keeps it
more interesting.
A final exhibition by Kay
Smith, one of Northports
own potters and artist at the
Kentuck Clay Place, will have
a booth open and have some of
her clay items for sale.
Lea Hanna Bertram, a senior
majoring in public relations,
is excited about attending her
first art night.
I have never had a chance to
go to the Kentuck Art Festival,
but Ive always wanted to,
Bertram said. Kentuck is, like
many others around the coun-
try, a unique art collective. It
displays the particular history
and culture of the region it rep-
resents, and getting to interact
with that is exciting.
Music for Art Night will be
provided by Doobie Doghouse
Wilson, also known as UA pro-
fessor Alan Lane, from the
department of chemical and
biological engineering. Lane is
a singer-songwriter who draws
his musical inspiration from
the blues, and he is also a mem-
ber of the Motown and classic
rock cover band, PhDLicious.
Art night will also have free
cob oven pizza for attendees,
and a volunteer appreciation
party. The event is free and
will be held on Thursday, Nov.
1 from 5 to 9 p.m.
Kentuck Art Center hosts Art Night in downtown Northport
By Asher Elbein
Running in one form or
another on the BBC for nearly
50 years, Doctor Who has
recently exploded in popular-
ity, growing from an obscure
British sci-fi to one with a sig-
nificant American audience.
Its not hard to see why the
show has caught on. Doctor
Who is a particularly addic-
tive mix of comedy, adventure
and horror with separate
threads held together by its
endlessly compelling main
character. Armed only with
his wits, a blue police box time
machine, and a succession of
enthusiastic young women,
The Doctor is an anarchic,
mercurial force for good in a
hostile universe, a symbol that
brains and heart can triumph
over repression and power.
What truly gives the
show longevity, however, is
a clever story-telling trick.
The Doctors alien biol-
ogy, it seems, gives him the
ability to regenerate into a
new form (and more impor-
tantly, a new actor) when hes
gravely wounded or killed.
With a new face often comes
a new mood; one era of the
show played at gothic hor-
ror, while others have leaned
more on science fiction trap-
pings. Most recently, the pre-
vailing mood of the show has
been one of conspiracy and
deceit, with unseen enemies
playing mind games with the
Doctor for the fate of worlds.
This variability is the secret
strength of Doctor Who,
because not only is it free
from relying on any one actor
for too long, it is possible for
the show to switch direction
quickly and easily. All you
really need to tell a Doctor
Who story is The Doctor
himself, and many episodes
run on the simple conceit of
dropping The Doctor into
a random story and watch-
ing what happens. The result
is essentially an anthol-
ogy show with a basically
consistent set of main
characters.
The Doctors companions,
usually women and often
British, are also an inte-
gral part of the mix. At their
best, characters such as Amy
Pond and Donna Noble are
relatable and offer human
perspective on the insanity
they find themselves thrust
in. While the show takes the
occasional turn into dam-
sels-in-distress style sexism,
for the most part it offers
refreshingly un-sexualized
and capable female char-
acters. The relationship
between The Doctor and his
various companions is seldom
anything but platonic, and
one of the strongest elements
of Doctor Who is the affec-
tion between the characters.
Beneath the clever banter,
alien threats and endless run-
ning through corridors lurks
a show that is deeply con-
cerned with morality and fam-
ily. Doctor Who at its best
spends a lot of time examining
ethical questions and explor-
ing the deep bonds of friend-
ship that can grow between
very different people.
It would be easy for these
heavier themes to weigh
down the show, but the
writers keep the tone light.
Doctor Who thrives on
a snappy format of thrills,
chills and laugh-out-loud
silliness. Between the mix-
ture of sci-fi farce and moral
themes, Doctor Who stands
out as deeply rewarding and
compelling television.

British humor and intrigue of Doctor Who nds attentive audience in U.S.
By Buddy Acker
I cant believe Xenoblade
Chronicles almost didnt
make it to America. What
was Nintendo thinking? The
Wii cant boast many JRPGs
period (the only ones I can
think of are Fire Emblem:
Radiant Dawn and those
Final Fantasy games), and
here Nintendo was try-
ing to deny another one
to American Wii owners.
Fortunately, thanks to over-
whelming fan support, the
game found its way to the
United States. After a recent
slew of unimpressive JRPGs,
I was hungry for a change,
and Xenoblade Chronicles
has satisfied my appetite.
One of the most explored
game worlds ever to
exist is within Xenoblade
Chronicles. It is a huge
game. Amazing sights and
creatures exist around every
corner. See that thing in the
distance? You can go there.
The game has a very Final
Fantasy XII feel to it, which
is great. The on-screen mini-
map and the brilliant inclu-
sion of fast travel both keep
navigation hassle-free.
However, as interesting
as the world is, the graphics
are nothing to brag about.
While Im comparing the
two games, Ill point out that
Final Fantasy XIIs graphics
are about a thousand times
better than whats on display
in Xenoblade Chronicles.
Sure, the environments are
cool and the draw distance
is unbelievable, but every-
thing just looks very PS2-
ish. Facial animations are
very PS1-ish.
That being said, Ive
always believed that as long
as a game is fun, the graph-
ics should take a backseat.
Here we have a game that is
pure enjoyment. The combat
system is brilliant. The skills
assigned to each character
are awesome and only get
better as the game progress-
es. Skills can be leveled up
using points gained through
victory. There are Skill
Links in the game, meaning
each character can share his
or her skills with the other
characters.
The main character,
Shulk, has the ability to
see the future. This comes
in handy during especially
tough battles. You can see
when an enemy is about to
unleash a devastating attack
and take measures to avoid
it. You can also warn your
teammates when an attack
is headed their way and even
play as them if you desire to
do so (you can do this at any
point in the game). Shulks
premonitions are also useful
at other points in the game,
for example, they are used to
inform you of items that you
need for side quests.
The story in Xenoblade
Chronicles is filled with
JRPG stereotypes, but I
commend Monolith Soft for
keeping it straightforward
and not adding in something
stupid like, say, time travel.
The story takes place on
the backs of two colossi that
are frozen in time. I often
forgot that at times while
playing through the game,
and when I did think about
it, I was even more amazed.
However, the characters
involved in the story are
somewhat boring. They can
all be compared to charac-
ters from the Final Fantasy
games.
The first JRPG I ever
really sat down, played and
cherished was Final Fantasy
X. It appealed to me with
its tremendous story, com-
bat system and score. Since
then, I had slowly begun to
lose faith in JRPGs. Luckily,
I stumbled across Xenoblade
Chronicles. It has made me
a believer again, as it is
one of the best JRPGs of
this generation.

are bored and waiting around.
Buckley said. It is intended to
be a convenient, easy way for
everyone on campus to connect
with the work being created by
their peers.
To get involved, students of

art and writing for publication
by visiting creativecampus.
ua.edu/project/art-let, filling
out the submission form, and
emailing artletua@gmail.com
with samples of work. Students
are asked to submit five to six

As one of the biggest college
football games of the year inch-
es closer, Alabama head coach
Nick Saban is making sure his
team stays grounded, rather
than getting caught up in the
hype of the game.
For Saban and the team, LSU
is too dangerous an opponent
to risk going into the game
with the wrong mindset. One of
the most dangerous parts of the
Tigers is their pass rush, which
ranks third in the Southeastern
Conference with 23 sacks this
season.
That pressure is especially
prevalent on the front line,
with three players, Lavar
Edwards, Sam Montgomery
and Barkevious Mingo all earn-
ing at least three sacks so far
this season.
They are the best pass-rush-
ing team in the league, Saban
said. Theyve got two really
good edge rushers, theyve got
really good team speed. Their
inside guys can rush as well I
think the combination of those
things make them a very effec-
tive team.
Regardless of their pass
rushing ability, Saban said he
had faith the offensive line,
especially tackles D.J. Fluker
and Cyrus Kouandjio would be
able to handle the LSU rush.
I think overall, theyve done
a good job, all year, Saban
said. We certainly know that
theyve been beaten a few
times, but I think at the same
time, when you look at their
whole body of work, both guys
have done a really good job this
year of blocking the edges.
McCarron discusses role as
game manager
As the season has gone on,
quarterback AJ McCarron has
emerged as one of the Tides
biggest offensive threats. Hes
been efficient, made plays
when they were needed, and
minimized his mistakes.
For Saban, McCarrons per-
formance has earned him a
title of game manager for the
offense. McCarron said this
role, however, doesnt mean
hes unable to make plays for
his team.
What I think and what the
media try to make it out to be
is two totally different things,
McCarron said. A game man-
ager can be anything. He can
throw nine touchdowns in one
game, but he still managed the
game.
McCarron said his opinion of
a game manager, very similar
to Sabans, was merely a player
that minimized mistakes and
took what the defense gave
him.
With that said, McCarron
said he would try to play with
emotion against LSU, some-
thing he said he didnt do last
year in the regular season
when his team lost in overtime,
9-6.
Regardless, McCarron said
the defense fielded by LSU
would be a challenge for him
and the offense, and that it
would need to be on its game to
stay competitive.
(LSU defensive coordinator
John Chavis) is a great coach,
McCarron said. Im sure hes
got those guys ready to play,
and were going to have to be
on top of our game, our A-game
to go out there and get a win.
Saban celebrates 61st
birthday
With Halloween comes
another holiday of sorts, at
least in Tuscaloosa. Sabans
birthday falls on Oct. 31, and
the three-time national cham-
pionship winning coach turned
61 Wednesday.
Id like to thank all the
people who sent emails or
called and wished me Happy
Birthday, Saban said. It
means a lot. I dont get much
opportunity to enjoy it this
time of year, but certainly rela-
tionships mean a lot and people
thinking of you makes you feel
really good.
His players tried to do a little
bit of celebrating, but Saban
could only think about one
thing.
All the guys when he walked
in for the meetings said happy
birthday to him, cornerback
Dee Milliner said. We knew
it was his birthday today. We
tried to send him out to a happy
point with his birthday, but hes
still the same old coach. Yeah,
guys, its my birthday today,
but he was focused in, ready for
the meetings to start.

The University of Alabama
womens rowing team will
wrap up the fall portion of its
season this weekend by com-
peting in the Head of Hooch in
Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Crimson Tide is com-
ing off an impressive showing
in its last meet, the Head of
Charles in Cambridge, Mass.,
where it received a bronze
medal in the club 8+ race.
Senior Tabitha Coleman
said the season has been a
good one so far after strong
displays at the Chattanooga
Head Race and the Head of
Charles.
I think it has been explo-
sive, Coleman said. We
came out really strong in the
beginning, and I feel that is
something well be able to
carry on through the end of
the fall this weekend.
Head coach Larry Davis
said if the Tide rows up to
its potential, it should be
a successful weekend in
Chattanooga.
I like to see us consistently
rowing at the level I believe
were capable of rowing,
Davis said. If we do that, then
I think were going to have the
best showing weve had in a
number of years at the Head
of Hooch.
Davis said the Tide has a
good shot at doing something
which has never before been
done.
Being a top-five finish
is something we havent
done before, Davis said.
That would be an excel-
lent thing and also maybe
picking up a couple of
medals.
Senior Jessica Parker said
a strong fall season can really
help a team feel good heading
into the spring season.
I know in my four years
here, we havent felt this well
consistently over our fall
season, Parker said.
Parker also said the team
is feeling a lot more confident
this fall, which has helped
with the success it has had.
We feel more confident
going in, Parker said. Our
confidence level is up this
year, and we feel like we have
been much better competition
than we have been.
Progress is the most impor-
tant thing for Davis. He said
the Tide has shown progress
so far in the fall season.
All the athletes have made
good progress this fall, which
is what we want them to do,
Davis said. It is building up
to what we want to accom-
plish in the spring.
Alabama will face some
tough competition this week-
end in Chattanooga. Davis
said the Tide is hungry and
ready to test themselves
against a competitive field.
I think the girls feel that they
have made steady progress this
fall, Davis said. They have
had some good results when we
have gone out and raced, and
theyre looking forward to the
opportunity to test themselves
one more time before we wrap
up the fall season.

The University of Alabama
mens tennis team returns
home to host the 2012 Fall
Championships Nov. 2-4.
Teams including Auburn,
Samford and Southern
Mississippi will travel to the
Capstone to compete.
The Tide reached the
semifinals in the 2012 USTA/
ITA Southern Regional
Championships two weeks
ago, led by freshman Becker
OShaughnessey in singles, and
the doubles team of sophomore
David Vieyra and junior Daniil
Proskura. Becker made his
regional championships debut
a memorable one.
He accompanied senior
Jarryd Botha in doubles,
defeating the tournaments
No. 1 seed and the No. 2 team
in the nation, before falling to
Southern Mississippi in the
semifinals. In singles, he took
down Mississippi States Malte
Stropp, who is ranked 47th in
the nation.
I had a solid
t our nament ,
OShaughnessey
said. I picked
up some really
great wins over
ranked players,
which helped
out my confi-
dence a lot and
my team. It feels
like we are on
the right path right now.
OShaughnessey said he is
looking to build on his momen-
tum and expects to give 100 per-
cent this weekend.
Alongside OShaughnessey,
red-shirt freshman Brian
Conlon received his first college
win in the USTA/ITA Southern
Regional Championships.
Conlon was red-shirted his first
year at the University due to a
wrist injury.
I didnt trav-
el much with
the team last
year because
of my wrist, so
my mindset is
pretty much like
Becker, to go out
and do the best
I can, Conlon
said.
Coach George
Husack expects his squad to
compete well and improve,
especially his rising freshman.
I am very impressed with
Becker OShaughnessey and
his continued development, he
Mens tennis team to host fall championships
WOMENS ROWING
MENS TENNIS
said. He is becoming a better
player every day.
Husack also discussed the
teams toughest opponent,
Auburn.
Auburns senior Andreas
Mies is ranked 11th in the coun-
try in singles. He was named an
ITA All-American last spring.
Mies came up short in the
Regional Tournament in his
second-round singles match
against Mississippi States
Romain Bogaerts. He could not
compete the second day of play
in doubles due to illness.
The Tide is aware of its com-
petition and is making prepa-
rations. Another factor that is
being taken into consideration
is the format for this tourna-
ment. It is not a typical win or
go home setup. Win or lose,
competitors must complete all
rounds of singles and doubles.
This will require heavy condi-
tioning and practice. Husack
knows the physical and mental
challenge and wants his team
to be ready every day.
Thirteen teams will partici-
pate in the 3-day event begin-
ning on Friday Nov. 2.
I am very impressed with
Becker OShaughnessey and
his continued development.
He is becoming a better
player every day.

were capable of rowing.

After a weekend of losses,
Alabama volleyball is back
and ready to face Texas A&M
this Thursday in College
Station. The Crimson Tides
losses against Arkansas and
Tennessee are helping shape
this newly revamped team
after an injury to its libero,
Christina Arenas.
The Tides five-set loss to
Arkansas and its three-set loss
to Tennessee may be tough to
handle, but junior outside hit-
ter Andrea McQuaid knows
losing is just part of the game.
Losses are never a good
thing, but the only good thing
about a loss is learning from
it, so thats what were going
to do with it, McQuaid said.
Nobody is happy from a loss,
and were just going to take
what we learn from it and not
let it happen again.
Head coach Ed Allen is pre-
paring for a tough defensive
match now that the starting
lineup has changed. With a cur-
rent record of 14-11, Alabamas
defensive skills are going to
have to hold against Texas
A&Ms defensive strategies.
Hoping to keep the balance
the Tide has had all season,
Allen has realistic goals for
this upcoming match.
[We want] to hold them
under what they hit the last
time they were here, which
was [around] the mid 300s,
Allen said. That clearly
defines that we want to get bet-
ter defensively, which is what
we are doing. [We also want
to] continue the balance that
weve had for most of the year
and involving four kids with
pretty close equal distribution
in kills.
Ranked No. 1 in the SEC
West, Texas A&M is going to
be one of the most difficult
matches of the regular season.
Though Alabama has already
played Texas A&M before, the
Tide is more prepared this
time, knowing what to expect
from the Aggies.
Theres a lot of taller teams
in the SEC, McQuaid said.
Were taller than we were
last year and were still grow-
ing, but at the end of the day,
if we play our best and they
play theres, its just about who
wants it more.
Freshman setter Sierra
Wilson is also preparing for an
arduous match because Texas
A&M plays a very tight game
and is very in-sync with each
other. Though Texas A&Ms
threats are great, Wilson said
the Tide can also play a tight
game and be very competitive
when playing the Aggies.
It is important that we
serve the ball well and pres-
sure them to begin with at the
service line, Allen said. That
translates into a defensive
effort or a strong defensive
effort just simply because you
take them out of some things
that they could potentially use
[against you].
