Partners David Ryan and Jamey Graham have had hopes of opening their own restaurant since they first went into business together. The two own Southern Dining Resources in Northport, Ala. and cater at many events in the Tuscaloosa and UA com- munity, including some of the sorority houses on campus as well as cafeterias at Shelton State Community College and Nucor Steel. “We’ve always wanted our own restaurant since we were in culinary school,” Graham said. “The property became available, and it seemed like a good time to do it and a good location.” While they are not sure why Bottomfeeders closed, they are excited to carry on the legacy of the location and build on it in their own way. “I think that we can make the location gain an even big- ger following by the quality of vegetables and foods that we will have,” Graham said. “We are not going to be a barbe- cue restaurant. We are going to be a southern food restau- rant and we’ll have a lot more comfort foods and a lot more variety.” The café is still being reno- vated, but Ryan and Graham said customers can anticipate a relaxed atmosphere. The partners want to feature local art work from the Tuscaloosa community as interior décor to help reinforce the local, home-grown atmosphere.

Scarbrough, a 6-foot-2, 222- pound junior, had offers from 12 major schools — Alabama, Mississippi State, Auburn, Troy, UCLA, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Clemson. Following the win, Scarbrough, with a big smile on his face, said “I just committed to Alabama.” “It’s been on my mind since day one, and I was trying to hold out until my 12th grade year, but I couldn’t hold it any- more,” Scarbrough said. “I just had to say ‘Roll Tide.’” “I looked at every school, and I saw what types of backs they had, and I think I’ll fit per- fectly in Alabama’s offense,” Scarbrough said. “I want to run behind lineman like D.J. Fluker and play in the backfield with backs like T.J. Yeldon.” Scarbrough is the first com- mit to Alabama’s 2014 class, giv- ing head coach Nick Saban and his staff a potential running back for the future. Scarbrough rushed for near- ly 1,000 yards as a sophomore before suffering a torn ACL on Oct. 22, 2012. Scarbrough initially announced he would keep his recruitment open until he played in the 2014 Under Armour All-American Game. If Scarbrough fullfils his com- mittment, he will be a freshman when T.J. Yeldon is a junior, which could give Alabama a one-two punch that could rival that of Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson. Ingram and Richardson used power, elusivness and speed to keep defenders off balance. Ingram started the games, softening up the defenses for Richardson to come in and pun- ish teams into submission dur- ing the 2009 season. Ingram, at 5-foot-10, and Richardson, at 5-foot-9, were built low to the ground, and both had the abil- ity to run through, around or past defenders.

Released in August by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, the study found that more than 2.2 million jobs require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree have been created since the 2007 start of the recession. At the same time, jobs that require only a high school diploma have decreased by 5.8 million in that same time. Ahmad Ijaz, the director of economic forecasting at The University of Alabama’s Center for Business and Economic Research, believes the study is an accurate por- trayal of the current job mar- ket facing students today. However, with an increase in jobs comes an increase in competition. “Competition increases every year, especially when the economy is like this,” Ijaz said. “More people go to col- lege, and then, many people go to graduate school, which adds to the competition.” Ijaz believes with an influx of college students in the job search, bachelor’s degrees have become the new norm. “The economy is just slow,” he said. “People who can’t find jobs either accept less- er jobs or go back to school. Therefore, master’s degrees have pretty much become the new bachelor’s degree. Once the economy starts going again, it may go back, but right now, it’s how it is.” Though a bachelor’s degree is becoming increas- ingly standard, it is still an important commodity. “It is a tough job market for college graduates but far worse for those without a college education,” said Anthony P. Carnevale, the Georgetown Center’s direc- tor and co-author of the report, in the study’s press release. “At a time when more and more people are debating the value of post- secondary education, this data shows that your chanc- es of being unemployed increase dramatically with- out a college degree.” Ijaz said the outsourcing of manual labor and manu- facturing jobs leave careers that require a higher level of education. “This is something that has been going on for quite a while now,” Ijaz said. “With more manufacturing plants going overseas and using more advanced technology, jobs require higher levels of education and higher skill levels.” Allie Di Giulian, a UA graduate in history, points out that this increase in educational expectations isn’t new.

A high-speed police chase ended just outside of Innisfree early Saturday morning at the intersection of University Boulevard and 20th Ave
T u s c a l o o s a Po l i c e Department officers pur-sued a black truck through the Strip as many students were leaving bars and res-taurants
Matt Ford a UA junior who was on the Strip at the time said police had blocked the intersection between 12th Ave and University Boulevard apparently try-ing to keep the area clear of traffic when the chase came through the area
ldquoThey had shot out all four tires We could smell the tiresrdquo Ford said ldquoHe was driv-ing on rims There was smoke blowing out behind himrdquo
Jake Gray a UA senior saw the chase end as he was leaving Innisfree
ldquoA minimum of 12 to 15 cop cars were chasing one black truckrdquo Gray said ldquoAll the tires were blown out The chase ended at the corner at the intersection by Innisfree It was a high-speed chaserdquo
Chris Dodson a reporter for BamaHammercom said he saw the chase begin on 15th Street
ldquoI was driving down Fifteenth and just got out of McDonaldrsquos and went down Veterans Memorial Parkway I looked behind me and saw three to four police cars and looked back again and therersquos 10 to 15 police cars following a black pickup truck
ldquoIt had its lights turned off its windows were tint-edrdquo Dodson said

More than 100000 football fans served as a strenuous test for a newly-installed antenna system intended to improve wireless phone coverage in Bryant-Denny Stadium and reported mixed feel-ings about the efficency of this yearrsquos addition
The DAS or distributed anten-na system in Bryant-Denny Stadium is made up of 715 anten-nas designed and placed to boost signal inside the stadium Mark Beeler of the UA Office of Land Management said ATampT and Verizon Wireless worked togeth-er to install the system in Bryant-Denny Stadium
ldquoThe DAS installation was approved by the UA Board of Trustees in Januaryrdquo Beeler said ldquoWork to install the system began shortly thereafterrdquo
The system was put to the test on Saturday during the Tidersquos first home game against Western Kentucky University and student comments on cellular cover-age ranged from outstanding to awful
Kelvin Williams a graduate student in the masters of accoun-tancy program said his service in the stadium was ldquoexcellentrdquo Williams uses ATampT
ldquoToday was a good day in the land of LG slide phones in Bryant-Dennyrdquo Williams said Saturday ldquoI had no problems communi-cating I was able to make and receive phone calls to my mama in [Birmingham] and from a friend in the stadium I was also able to text without delays or backups I had a quick steady text [conversation] with a friend in the stadium just after kickoffrdquo
Susan Hurwitz a sophomore majoring in psychology used
Sprint Hurwitz said her phone had never worked in Bryant-Denny Stadium during games in seasons past but she had no problems sending or receiving texts and phone calls during the game
The game day experience for others was not as fortunate For many it was back to the familiar territory of dropped calls mes-sage send failures and no chance of using mobile Internet services Some students said they could distinguish no change at all
ldquoI couldnrsquot even get or make calls let alone textsrdquo said Hannah Hicks an ATampT-using senior majoring in philosophy and religious studies
Chris Schmidt a junior major-ing in civil engineering used Verizon and also had coverage issues
ldquoBefore the game it worked better [than last year]rdquo he said
ldquobut during the game I had no data coverage at allrdquo
Shane Perry a graduate stu-dent in secondary education and language arts could see no change from last year As an ATampT user he said he could send texts at a delayed rate but couldnrsquot access the Internet at all
The problem with coverage in Bryant-Denny Stadium is caused by the sheer numbers of users trying to access networks at once Beeler said

Depending on who you ask being the President of the United States of America is either the most or least cov-eted job in the entire world The responsibilities the job entails are innumerable and the pressures felt while in office have sufficed to grey the hair of many who have taken up the mantle The presidency at its heart is still a job and the president is essentially a manager working to make his salary and impress his boss It should come of no surprise to you that his boss is every other citizen of voting age in these United States
For many this is the first
instance in which they will be given this level of responsibil-ity As the presidentrsquos bosses the time has come for our qua-drennial employee review and the season is ripe for us as a people to decide if President Barack Obamarsquos tenure as the face of our government should be extended or granted to another man who has shown up to his interview wielding a rather strong resume
Although the United States of America might not be the largest in terms of size or popu-lation when compared to other nations throughout the world our success as both an indus-trial and economic machine is unparalleled in the history of mankind We have had our ups and downs as the years have
gone by but they have always come with nearly cyclical pre-dictability between economic highs and lows President Obama began his time here with our nation in the midst of the Great Recession but he earned his office with promises of hope and change for all of America
Since those promises were made the cycle of ups and downs that has occurred since the dawn of the modern inter-national economy has been replaced by the greatest imped-iment to progress - stagnation During this stagnation we have incurred so much debt that the entire United States govern-ment has come within weeks of bankruptcy potentially threat-ening the stability of not just
our nation but the entire world in which we rely on to fuel our fantastic standard of living
Jobs have been created and certain civil rights have been protected but even more jobs have been lost and the guys at the airport still reserve the right to either take naked pictures of you or fondle you before you board your flight President Obama is a man of great resolve and courage but when compared to what he promised us during his inter-view four years ago the cur-rent reality he has created as the leader of our nation is a far cry from the assurances that got him both his current job and a Nobel Peace Prize
The other applicant for the President of the United States
is a man who comes to us with a resume that is impressive to say the least In the past decade alone he has not only taken a defunct Olympics and turned it into a show of American prowess in Salt Lake City Utah but has also transformed Massachusetts from a state ridden with debt to a debt-free state Looking even further back his time spent with Bain Capital saw the corporation become one of the largest pri-vate equity investment firms in the nation
While his problem solving abilities have yet to take a turn at the national level it would seem that these abilities have proven themselves at nearly every crossroads they have encountered Although several
of his personal beliefs may be averse to the current American popular opinion his proven ability to eliminate the precur-sors to stagnation should be intriguing to the economically-ailing American populace
There are millions people who serve a role in deciding who gets the job this November so it is the responsibility of the voter to dig deeper into each applicants resume to decide whom they want to elect Just looking back at the resume Obama gave us four years ago it would seem that it was remarkably indicative of our current standing as a nation

Discrepancy exists between President Barack Obamarsquos resume results

Itrsquos not that I am against campus growth With growth comes bet-ter resources and opportunities What I am against is how we have grown The unnecessary growing pains and strains have associated the idea of ldquogrowthrdquo with nega-tive experiences There is a lack of adequate facilities for our current population Consider ten Hoorrsquos human traffic jam or traffic jams involving cars on campus many of these discomforts could be avoided with proper preparation
Unfortunately the University has made a habit of playing ldquocatch uprdquo with the numbers rather than pre-paring itself for the people it knows are heading its way A new recre-ation center is supposedly on the way but only after our current rec-reation center turned into one big waiting line for treadmills between the hours of 10 am and 7 pm
But accepting the fact that our campus is growing and will continue to grow I am putting my sword back in its scabbard and sav-ing it for a fight for which I have a
chance Last week Guy Bailey the new UA president reaffirmed the continuation of Robert Wittrsquos goal of increasing enrollment Despite many students voicing concern over more masses the increase is inevitable
More people than ever are attending college precipitating an increased enrollment around the country Also this university is seen as a business to many espe-cially those in charge The main goal of a business is to make money
Yet while the pursuit of 36000 stu-dents was Wittrsquos the method of pur-suit is now up to President Bailey While at Texas Tech President Bailey orchestrated record-high enrollment for the school Perhaps it is because of the vast Lubbock backdrop but the increase of popu-lation did not translate into discom-fort at Tech Instead it became syn-onymous with growth of quality
There are many similarities between Bailey and Witt and after all Chancellor Witt is technically still in charge However Baileyrsquos experience at Texas Tech and his background in academia indicate his views on campus growth are
different Assuming as an educa-tor that Bailey will look at The University of Alabama as a place of higher education and not a cash cow waiting to get milked the proj-ect might actually be student-cen-tered
The numbers may be the same but the experience should be dif-ferent It must be different for the University to remain a sought-after educational experience Increasing growth is admirable but if it is done in sloppy fashion the unrest of the masses may overshadow the original desire Proper planning prevents poor performance and the University needs to prepare for the future rather than wait until the future is already trying to move into its new dorm room
Bailey has grown a school before so his experience leads me to believe he knows what he is doing Potentially this period of growth could be a smoother smarter and more comfortable experience than the previous one

Campus growth has potential under BaileyBy Kyle Jones
As I sit here looking out over the Quad I am struck by the relative peace that hangs over the campus Friends of all ages back-grounds faiths and political views walk side-by-side in harmony as they go to class-es and prepare for the future As a fresh-man this is truly an experience unlike any other Sadly it is also an experience that is growing less common in the United States
Currently it feels as if the very course of man history and nature itself is preparing for nothing short of all-out war and chaos In Tampa we see the 2012 Republican National Convention calling for the end of the Obama presidency and a long awaited unity within the nation through its presi-dential candidate Governor Mitt Romney A now tainted hope as the convention draws almost daily attacks Before the convention had even begun members of Occupy Tampa were arrested while pro-testing outside the convention for posing a security risk to the many party officials within the convention
One of the mottos which has always been at the heart of the United States is ldquoE Pluribus Unum (Out of Many One)rdquo However it would seem now that this motto has lost its meaning among the cur-rent leadership The three branches of gov-
ernment no longer recognize themselvesas leaders of one unified nation but ratheras leaders of a liberal nation and a conser-vative nation They then set about poison-ing their own constituency with their ownhatred fear and shameful lack of respectfor their fellow countrymen
The result is that the masses fall intoan accursed state of apathy and malaiseno longer seeking what is best for thenation but rather becoming servants tothe hegemony and bureaucracy of corruptpoliticians on both sides of the aisle Thisensures that those who are in power willremain in power and that the voice of thepeople will be secondary to the voice of thepeoplersquos representatives
Meanwhile while the nation bickersand fights amongst itself the debt of ournation rises and our once proud ldquoEmpireof Libertyrdquo grows weak and fearful Whathas happened to the republic of the people
I look to the day when apathy issacrificed upon the altar of ambition I lookto the day when we will once again be aunited people This day will never comehowever unless the youth of today takeup the cause of true liberty and commonsense

ldquoFifty years ago not every-one went to college mdash if you had a high school diploma you could get a good job but if you had a college degree you automatically got a better onerdquo she said ldquoWith the GI Bill from the rsquo40s and people wanting to dodge the draft of the Vietnam War more people went to col-lege more people got degrees and now itrsquos commonplace to have a bachelorrsquos degree Having a masterrsquos though sets you apart Itrsquos harder more reading longer tests and more specializedrdquo
Di Giulian remains hopeful in her job prospects but notes that the higher-paying jobs come from more specialized degrees
ldquoWith my history degree I could apply for human resource jobs -- or things like that -- and I could probably get themrdquo she said ldquoAnd thatrsquos a real job I donrsquot know about advancement in that field but itrsquos there and something doable But if your
degree is in chemical engineer-ing obviously by just having a bachelorrsquos degree yoursquoll get a better-paying jobrdquo
Ijaz agrees that some college majors will be more successful than others in the job market He believes degrees in engi-neering sciences or business will be less prob-lematic than those in liberal arts due simply to demand
UA senior Jamie House realized these concerns during his undergradu-ate work as an education major with an emphasis in history Believing a bachelorrsquos degree in education was no longer enough to become a teacher he switched his major to history He plans to continue his edu-cation into graduate school in order to make himself a better candidate for future employ-ment
ldquoI think the chances of get-ting a job without a masterrsquos degree these days are slim to nonerdquo he said ldquoEspecially in the education field if I want

offer as far as your field goes mdash not just what you learned sit-ting in the classroomrdquo
Regardless Ijaz stressed the importance of one of the find-ings of the Georgetown study Nearly seven percent of college graduates are unemployed whereas 24 percent of high school diploma holders are

In this age of e-books and e-commerce achieving your dreams comes one step closer to reality for amateur authorsLauren Alexander a junior majoring in English published her first work ldquoBreathe An Anthologyrdquo onto the Amazon store this past August as an e-book compatible with Kindle devices The 43-story anthology features works up to four pages long most keeping to a page in length According to Alexander her stories are presented in por-traits and monologues on topics ranging from love and heart-break to murder and thought
She recalled her first taste of writing coming via the creation of short picture stories as a child which led to her to writing short stories by the fourth grade
ldquo[The stories] were really ran-domrdquo Alexander said ldquoWhen I was younger they were just kind of something I didrdquo
She specifically remembered a Halloween story written for class in elementary school prompting her mother to play-fully suggest she become an author one day
ldquoIt was kind of one of those dreams you donrsquot think will really happenrdquo Alexander said
Throughout middle school and high school she wrote and wrote sporadically picking away at book ideas and crafting quick random stories Though tied together by reflections on morality and her thoroughly detailed style of writing both of which are still evident in her work the writings and her cre-ative motivations mirrored her own varied experiences growing up in Tuscaloosa
ldquoMy goal with my writing is to try and connect with people and since my writing comes from so many different stages of my life sometimes a story will show what I was going through at the timerdquo Alexander said ldquoWith so many different styles and genres itrsquos easier for some-one to pick one up and connect with itrdquo
While attending Hillcrest High School Alexanderrsquos teach-ers began to take more interest in her writings and brought her to realize that if she could fin-ish a project and send it out she
could actually be publishedHowever it wasnrsquot until this
August that her cache of 43 short stories written during a time span from ninth grade to her sophomore year of college was truly ready to go out into the world
It was Alexanderrsquos high school friend Christian Smitherman now a junior at the University who brought the idea of inde-pendent publication to her Smitherman who had read Alexanderrsquos work in high school suggested via Facebook that she consider self-publishing
through the Amazon Store as an e-book to get her work out
ldquoShersquos able to convey emo-tion and convey feelingsrdquo said Smitherman ldquoIrsquom not much of a poetry or literature personhellip but anything I ever read of hers just leaves me breathlessrdquo
After looking through the publishing process Alexander collected and formatted her works until 200 am on August 22 when she put the collection online She said Smitherman was the first to read her newly collected works
ldquoShe just conveys emo-tions at their rawest levelsrdquo Smitherman said ldquoNow with these new stories Irsquom able to see these other sides of Lauren Irsquove never seen beforerdquo
According to Alexander the response from her supporting family and friends continues to be strong and motivational
but she was surprised to hearpieces of advice from publish-ers and writers through social media avenues
Since her publication Alexander said she hopes to submit her work to Kindle Singles an Amazon venue showcasing selected works by new authors Additionally she expressed her hope of pursu-ing more traditional approach-es to publication while honing her authorial voice through further short story and novel writing
ldquoIt took a while for it to real-ly settle in [that Irsquom published] and sometimes I think to myself lsquoOh itrsquos not a big dealrsquordquo Alexander said ldquoBut in reality getting published has always been my dream and now if one person reads the collection and it affects them the way I want it to it was worth itrdquo

The women of The University of Alabama can be quick to condemn Tuscaloosa as a place completely void of any decent shopping experiences and assume trips to Birminghamrsquos Summit and Galleria are nec-essary monthly events to catch up with the latest trends We may not have a huge number of trendy boutiques but the stores we do have are more than adequate for all of our sartorial game day needs
I decided to share my quest for a game day outfit that could also transition into everyday wear in hopes of helping out a fellow spirited fashion lover
I decided to shop White House Black Market at Midtown Village hoping the name meant I could find pieces featuring the colors associated with the famous Paul ldquoBearrdquo Bryant houndstooth hat The overall aesthetic of the store may seem too matronly for the average college student but on closer evaluation WHBM revealed plenty of classically styled pencil skirts ankle length pants and structured tops that are a must for every girlrsquos closet
Luckily for Alabama fans red was the featured accent color found throughout the store of black and white appar-el This made it easy to find appropriate game day com-binations of red pants with a patterned black and white top or a houndstooth skirt with a red sweater If you are the sort of girl who gives way to com-fort when strutting the game day runway known as the
Quad sidewalk WHBM had an extensive collection of black white and red heels perfect for pairing with pencil skirts and patterned dresses
In addition to the classic pieces found at WHBM I decid-ed to check out the game day trends at two boutiques on the Strip Private Gallery proved ideal for the woman who refuses to wear the red jersey-knit one-shouldered dress that almost every girl on cam-pus wears to the first game PG featured everything from grey brocade-style shorts and sheer crimson button-downs to bright red rompers and hound-stooth pea coats This store is perfect for a more abstract game day look that emphasiz-es current trends rather than typical game day fashions
Sassy Britches also locat-ed on the Strip contained a plethora of game day apparel options much like Private Galleryrsquos and equally as expen-sive I expected with less brand name items SB would be the more economic option of the two but I was surprised SB featured red patterned prints which seem to be the most popular game day look and I found myself loving the hound-stooth print shorts offered at SB - perfect for the rest of the September games
After Saturdayrsquos game I was able to conclude many UA women saved their brand new game day dresses for the more ldquoimportantrdquo home games after seeing the vast amount of football jerseys that Saturdayrsquos female fans adorned If you have not found the perfect out-fit for this season of Crimson
Tide football I suggest you check out local stores before heading to Birmingham Afterall no one knows Tuscaloosa trends better than Tuscaloosa We are number one and we should dress like it

The Alabama volleyball team secured another tour-nament-win this weekend in the Hampton Inn Bama Bash as they dominated in Foster Auditorium dropping only one set all weekend
Outside hitter Kayla Fitterer said the biggest thing that the team can take away from this weekendrsquos play is confidence
Fitterer played in her first home match on Friday night against Austin Peay where she posted her 26th career double double with 18 kills and 12 digs
The senior has taken prac-tice and play on a day-to-day basis as she continues to recover from an off-season foot surgery
ldquoIrsquom back in as much as I
can be right nowrdquo Fitterer said after the tournament-clinching match against East Tennessee State ldquoI took off this morning and yesterday morning to rest but Irsquoll be good now to play in all of the games from hererdquo
Fitterer posted seven kills and seven digs against ETSU
The Tidersquos performance in the Bama Bash landed Sierra Wilson Katherine White and Laura Steiner spots on the all-tournament team with Steiner earning the title of Most Valuable Player
Steiner a freshman outside hitter finished the tournament with a hitting percentage of 358 34 kills over four matches and an average of 340 kills per set played
ldquoI didnrsquot actually know I was playing until right before the game so I just went in there
trying to have a good match to finish the tournament out and I ended up with some kills so that was nicerdquo Steiner said
With a match-high 12 kills versus ETSU Steiner showed her ability to step up even as a freshman
ldquoI think you always have to prepare yourself thinking that you might go in - especially if someone is not performing their best that you might get thrown in thererdquo Steiner said
The tournament gave the Tide many opportunities to see growth in almost every mem-ber of the team
ldquoWersquore getting balanced and wersquore really pleased with Laura Steinerrsquos perfor-mance as a freshman from the outsiderdquo head coach Ed Allen said ldquoShersquos giving us a great deal of consistency and
exploiting the block with her offense Again Sierra Wilson continues to grow as a leader and quarterback of this team She still has a long way to go but shersquos in a better place than she was two weeks agordquo
In the four matches played Wilson posted 157 total assists giving her an average of 121 assists per set
ldquoWe identified several things that we need to work onrdquo Allen said of his teamrsquos overall weekend play ldquoI also thought we had a little bit more con-sistency in most parts of play except for attacking in that last matchrdquo

Crimson Tide wins Hampton Inn tournament VOLLEYBALL

When a coach is as success-ful as Alabamarsquos Nick Saban has been in recent years cre-ativity is key when trying to motivate a team
Whether it is a rant to the media about not respecting an opponent or getting on to the team for committing a penalty Saban uses every tactic pos-sible to get the Tide prepared week in and week out
If Alabama has a bad prac-tice Saban comes into his media availability and barks at the local reporters for writ-ing negative stories about the Tidersquos opponent He says it is unfair to not give teams like Western Kentucky respect
(even though Alabama was a 40 point favorite) He goes on about how it is not fair to his team or Western Kentucky because of how hard they work to get where they are
But Saban really has a hid-den agenda when he gives the media a scowl The coach knows his team will watch the countless number of videos or hear about him erupting through social media This is how he gets his message across when it is not effective at practice
Saban understands the basic principle of being successful it is human nature to get com-placent He watched it happen in 2010 when a supremely tal-ented Alabama team dropped three very winnable games
The teamrsquos focus has been not succumbing to complacen-cy It is what the coaching staff preaches to the players and what the players regurgitate to the media
So Alabamarsquos lackluster effort in its 35-0 beating of Western Kentucky was expect-ed Even though the Tide is a national power the team still has a tendency to take its foot off the gas and play down to its competition
The offensive line which is being hyped as the best in the country allowed six sacks and multiple quarterback hur-ries The line also struggled to create holes for the running backs as the team was held to 103 rushing yards compared to the 232 against Michigan
ldquoAt least three of the sacks somebody got beat on the edgerdquo Saban said ldquoCouple other times we probably held the ball ndash the last one we held the ball no one was really openrdquo
The scary thing is that Alabamarsquos team is not even close to being a finished prod-uct but it is still one of the three or four best teams in the country (along with USC LSU and Oregon)
If Alabamarsquos secondary continues to develop and the offensive line protects McCarron this team has the potential to repeat The first major test for the Tide will be this Saturday against Arkansas The Razorbacks feature a dynamic offense
lead by quarterback Tyler Wilson If healthy Wilson is an elite passer with a big arm and the ability to make every throw on the field
Arkansasrsquo defense is not elite by SEC standards but it will be considerably bet-ter than Western Kentuckyrsquos which did a pretty good num-ber to Alabamarsquos offensive line
Alabama knows it cannot play the same way in week
three as it did in week two because the Hogs have serious upset potential
But this could all be a set- up Alabama could be waitingfor another quality opponent to embarrass like it did the Wolverines
ldquoItrsquos just a young team being youngrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said of the teamrsquos struggles
For Saban and the local mediarsquos sake letrsquos hope so
For successful coaches creativity necessary when trying to motivate team FOOTBALL | COLUMN

Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones each caught two touchdowns and made explosive plays in the passing game The Tide receiv-ers stretched the field and showed other oppo-nents that Alabama is much more than a run-ning team
The offensive line struggled in both pass and run blocking situations allowing quarterback AJ McCarron to be sacked six times
Any time a unit pitches a shutout and forces four turnovers it deserves high remarks Alabamarsquos defense was without starters Jesse Williams and Dee Milliner but theydid not allow Western Kentucky any breathing room
The coaching staff implemented an effective game plan to stop the Hilltoppers and the players executed However the team often looked lethargic particularly the offensive line

A high-speed police chase ended just outside of Innisfree early Saturday morning at the intersection of University Boulevard and 20th Ave
T u s c a l o o s a Po l i c e Department officers pur-sued a black truck through the Strip as many students were leaving bars and res-taurants
Matt Ford a UA junior who was on the Strip at the time said police had blocked the intersection between 12th Ave and University Boulevard apparently try-ing to keep the area clear of traffic when the chase came through the area
ldquoThey had shot out all four tires We could smell the tiresrdquo Ford said ldquoHe was driv-ing on rims There was smoke blowing out behind himrdquo
Jake Gray a UA senior saw the chase end as he was leaving Innisfree
ldquoA minimum of 12 to 15 cop cars were chasing one black truckrdquo Gray said ldquoAll the tires were blown out The chase ended at the corner at the intersection by Innisfree It was a high-speed chaserdquo
Chris Dodson a reporter for BamaHammercom said he saw the chase begin on 15th Street
ldquoI was driving down Fifteenth and just got out of McDonaldrsquos and went down Veterans Memorial Parkway I looked behind me and saw three to four police cars and looked back again and therersquos 10 to 15 police cars following a black pickup truck
ldquoIt had its lights turned off its windows were tint-edrdquo Dodson said

More than 100000 football fans served as a strenuous test for a newly-installed antenna system intended to improve wireless phone coverage in Bryant-Denny Stadium and reported mixed feel-ings about the efficency of this yearrsquos addition
The DAS or distributed anten-na system in Bryant-Denny Stadium is made up of 715 anten-nas designed and placed to boost signal inside the stadium Mark Beeler of the UA Office of Land Management said ATampT and Verizon Wireless worked togeth-er to install the system in Bryant-Denny Stadium
ldquoThe DAS installation was approved by the UA Board of Trustees in Januaryrdquo Beeler said ldquoWork to install the system began shortly thereafterrdquo
The system was put to the test on Saturday during the Tidersquos first home game against Western Kentucky University and student comments on cellular cover-age ranged from outstanding to awful
Kelvin Williams a graduate student in the masters of accoun-tancy program said his service in the stadium was ldquoexcellentrdquo Williams uses ATampT
ldquoToday was a good day in the land of LG slide phones in Bryant-Dennyrdquo Williams said Saturday ldquoI had no problems communi-cating I was able to make and receive phone calls to my mama in [Birmingham] and from a friend in the stadium I was also able to text without delays or backups I had a quick steady text [conversation] with a friend in the stadium just after kickoffrdquo
Susan Hurwitz a sophomore majoring in psychology used
Sprint Hurwitz said her phone had never worked in Bryant-Denny Stadium during games in seasons past but she had no problems sending or receiving texts and phone calls during the game
The game day experience for others was not as fortunate For many it was back to the familiar territory of dropped calls mes-sage send failures and no chance of using mobile Internet services Some students said they could distinguish no change at all
ldquoI couldnrsquot even get or make calls let alone textsrdquo said Hannah Hicks an ATampT-using senior majoring in philosophy and religious studies
Chris Schmidt a junior major-ing in civil engineering used Verizon and also had coverage issues
ldquoBefore the game it worked better [than last year]rdquo he said
ldquobut during the game I had no data coverage at allrdquo
Shane Perry a graduate stu-dent in secondary education and language arts could see no change from last year As an ATampT user he said he could send texts at a delayed rate but couldnrsquot access the Internet at all
The problem with coverage in Bryant-Denny Stadium is caused by the sheer numbers of users trying to access networks at once Beeler said
ldquoSimply put [the issue with cellular coverage] was a matter of capacityrdquo Beeler said ldquoThe large amount of traffic during gamedays was overwhelming the existing cellular networkrdquo
Lance Skelly director of news relations for ATampT noted the problem with call volume but said that football stadiums them-selves present issues to coverage
CW | Bryce DentonATampT set up a truck on Campus Dr to help boost signal during Satur-days game against WKU on Sept 8 2012
ATampT service on Gameday receives mixed emotions
providersldquoThe geographical limitations
ndash terrain building construction etc ndash of football stadiums also make this an interesting chal-lengerdquo
Skelly said that DAS has been used in sports venues across the nation
ldquoWe have deployed DAS on
professional and college sportsrsquo biggest stages at champion-ship games in Indianapolis New Orleans Arlington Texas and othersrdquo Skelly said
Bryant-Denny Stadiumrsquos 715 antenna DAS will be challenged again on Sept 22 when the Tide takes on Florida Atlantic University
Meanwhile Sigma Phi Epsilon a non-Machine frater-nity was given front row seats President AJ Collins believes this yearrsquos third-party appli-cation was fairer than in past years
ldquoThe historical power struc-tures on this campus have in the past dictated where organizations would sit We were optimistic and hoped we would be seat-ed objectivelyrdquo Collins said ldquoIrsquom just really excited that a fair and objective process has placed the organizations that value academics leadership and service up frontrdquo
Air Force ROTC Detachment 010 which ranked fourth with 367 received the block farthest from the field in S-5 The block is located behind the lowest- ranked fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa which scored 191 points The Cadet Wing Commander said the placement was a result of a late application fee
ldquoAlthough AFROTC Detachment 010 is disappointed with the block seating arrange-ment we recognize the Student Government Association had rules in placerdquo Zachary J Taylor said ldquoWe respect the Student Government Association and the university that it represents and we still look forward to cheering on the Tide this fallrdquo
Organizations submitted a desired number of seats according to their member-ship numbers which was then multiplied by 17 to account for the number of guests ndash often female dates ndash each member can bring with them
While any guests must have student tickets or follow the upgrade rules as student guests in general admission they are reserved spots in block seating up to 45 minutes before gametime
All but six of the 34 organi-zations that applied for block seating are exclusively male greek fraternities The remain-ing organizations are co-edu-cational organizations other than the Alpha Kappa Alpha
sorority No other sororities applied for block seating
ldquoI encourage all organiza-tions to apply regardless of genderrdquo Calderone said
The Crimson White con-tacted several sorority presi-dents to comment on the lack of female participation in blockseating One president declinedto comment and others did notreturn phone calls by press time
Bonnie Denman a sopho-more majoring in managementinformation systems said that while some have touted the new application process as fair block seating is still systemi-cally inequitable to women and the general student body
ldquoI know Irsquove gotten to the games two and half hours early and people show up to the game last-minute and get great seatsand thatrsquos not very fair They end up leaving before most of the students in general seatingas wellrdquo Denman said ldquoI would say get rid of it all together and let it be first come first serveJust make it known that if you get there early you get a goodseatrdquo

Depending on who you ask being the President of the United States of America is either the most or least cov-eted job in the entire world The responsibilities the job entails are innumerable and the pressures felt while in office have sufficed to grey the hair of many who have taken up the mantle The presidency at its heart is still a job and the president is essentially a manager working to make his salary and impress his boss It should come of no surprise to you that his boss is every other citizen of voting age in these United States
For many this is the first
instance in which they will be given this level of responsibil-ity As the presidentrsquos bosses the time has come for our qua-drennial employee review and the season is ripe for us as a people to decide if President Barack Obamarsquos tenure as the face of our government should be extended or granted to another man who has shown up to his interview wielding a rather strong resume
Although the United States of America might not be the largest in terms of size or popu-lation when compared to other nations throughout the world our success as both an indus-trial and economic machine is unparalleled in the history of mankind We have had our ups and downs as the years have
gone by but they have always come with nearly cyclical pre-dictability between economic highs and lows President Obama began his time here with our nation in the midst of the Great Recession but he earned his office with promises of hope and change for all of America
Since those promises were made the cycle of ups and downs that has occurred since the dawn of the modern inter-national economy has been replaced by the greatest imped-iment to progress - stagnation During this stagnation we have incurred so much debt that the entire United States govern-ment has come within weeks of bankruptcy potentially threat-ening the stability of not just
our nation but the entire world in which we rely on to fuel our fantastic standard of living
Jobs have been created and certain civil rights have been protected but even more jobs have been lost and the guys at the airport still reserve the right to either take naked pictures of you or fondle you before you board your flight President Obama is a man of great resolve and courage but when compared to what he promised us during his inter-view four years ago the cur-rent reality he has created as the leader of our nation is a far cry from the assurances that got him both his current job and a Nobel Peace Prize
The other applicant for the President of the United States
is a man who comes to us with a resume that is impressive to say the least In the past decade alone he has not only taken a defunct Olympics and turned it into a show of American prowess in Salt Lake City Utah but has also transformed Massachusetts from a state ridden with debt to a debt-free state Looking even further back his time spent with Bain Capital saw the corporation become one of the largest pri-vate equity investment firms in the nation
While his problem solving abilities have yet to take a turn at the national level it would seem that these abilities have proven themselves at nearly every crossroads they have encountered Although several
of his personal beliefs may be averse to the current American popular opinion his proven ability to eliminate the precur-sors to stagnation should be intriguing to the economically-ailing American populace
There are millions people who serve a role in deciding who gets the job this November so it is the responsibility of the voter to dig deeper into each applicants resume to decide whom they want to elect Just looking back at the resume Obama gave us four years ago it would seem that it was remarkably indicative of our current standing as a nation

Itrsquos not that I am against campus growth With growth comes bet-ter resources and opportunities What I am against is how we have grown The unnecessary growing pains and strains have associated the idea of ldquogrowthrdquo with nega-tive experiences There is a lack of adequate facilities for our current population Consider ten Hoorrsquos human traffic jam or traffic jams involving cars on campus many of these discomforts could be avoided with proper preparation
Unfortunately the University has made a habit of playing ldquocatch uprdquo with the numbers rather than pre-paring itself for the people it knows are heading its way A new recre-ation center is supposedly on the way but only after our current rec-reation center turned into one big waiting line for treadmills between the hours of 10 am and 7 pm
But accepting the fact that our campus is growing and will continue to grow I am putting my sword back in its scabbard and sav-ing it for a fight for which I have a
chance Last week Guy Bailey the new UA president reaffirmed the continuation of Robert Wittrsquos goal of increasing enrollment Despite many students voicing concern over more masses the increase is inevitable
More people than ever are attending college precipitating an increased enrollment around the country Also this university is seen as a business to many espe-cially those in charge The main goal of a business is to make money
Yet while the pursuit of 36000 stu-dents was Wittrsquos the method of pur-suit is now up to President Bailey While at Texas Tech President Bailey orchestrated record-high enrollment for the school Perhaps it is because of the vast Lubbock backdrop but the increase of popu-lation did not translate into discom-fort at Tech Instead it became syn-onymous with growth of quality
There are many similarities between Bailey and Witt and after all Chancellor Witt is technically still in charge However Baileyrsquos experience at Texas Tech and his background in academia indicate his views on campus growth are
different Assuming as an educa-tor that Bailey will look at The University of Alabama as a place of higher education and not a cash cow waiting to get milked the proj-ect might actually be student-cen-tered
The numbers may be the same but the experience should be dif-ferent It must be different for the University to remain a sought-after educational experience Increasing growth is admirable but if it is done in sloppy fashion the unrest of the masses may overshadow the original desire Proper planning prevents poor performance and the University needs to prepare for the future rather than wait until the future is already trying to move into its new dorm room
Bailey has grown a school before so his experience leads me to believe he knows what he is doing Potentially this period of growth could be a smoother smarter and more comfortable experience than the previous one

Campus growth has potential under BaileyBy Kyle Jones
As I sit here looking out over the Quad I am struck by the relative peace that hangs over the campus Friends of all ages back-grounds faiths and political views walk side-by-side in harmony as they go to class-es and prepare for the future As a fresh-man this is truly an experience unlike any other Sadly it is also an experience that is growing less common in the United States
Currently it feels as if the very course of man history and nature itself is preparing for nothing short of all-out war and chaos In Tampa we see the 2012 Republican National Convention calling for the end of the Obama presidency and a long awaited unity within the nation through its presi-dential candidate Governor Mitt Romney A now tainted hope as the convention draws almost daily attacks Before the convention had even begun members of Occupy Tampa were arrested while pro-testing outside the convention for posing a security risk to the many party officials within the convention
One of the mottos which has always been at the heart of the United States is ldquoE Pluribus Unum (Out of Many One)rdquo However it would seem now that this motto has lost its meaning among the cur-rent leadership The three branches of gov-
ernment no longer recognize themselvesas leaders of one unified nation but ratheras leaders of a liberal nation and a conser-vative nation They then set about poison-ing their own constituency with their ownhatred fear and shameful lack of respectfor their fellow countrymen
The result is that the masses fall intoan accursed state of apathy and malaiseno longer seeking what is best for thenation but rather becoming servants tothe hegemony and bureaucracy of corruptpoliticians on both sides of the aisle Thisensures that those who are in power willremain in power and that the voice of thepeople will be secondary to the voice of thepeoplersquos representatives
Meanwhile while the nation bickersand fights amongst itself the debt of ournation rises and our once proud ldquoEmpireof Libertyrdquo grows weak and fearful Whathas happened to the republic of the people
I look to the day when apathy issacrificed upon the altar of ambition I lookto the day when we will once again be aunited people This day will never comehowever unless the youth of today takeup the cause of true liberty and commonsense

ldquoFifty years ago not every-one went to college mdash if you had a high school diploma you could get a good job but if you had a college degree you automatically got a better onerdquo she said ldquoWith the GI Bill from the rsquo40s and people wanting to dodge the draft of the Vietnam War more people went to col-lege more people got degrees and now itrsquos commonplace to have a bachelorrsquos degree Having a masterrsquos though sets you apart Itrsquos harder more reading longer tests and more specializedrdquo
Di Giulian remains hopeful in her job prospects but notes that the higher-paying jobs come from more specialized degrees
ldquoWith my history degree I could apply for human resource jobs -- or things like that -- and I could probably get themrdquo she said ldquoAnd thatrsquos a real job I donrsquot know about advancement in that field but itrsquos there and something doable But if your
degree is in chemical engineer-ing obviously by just having a bachelorrsquos degree yoursquoll get a better-paying jobrdquo
Ijaz agrees that some college majors will be more successful than others in the job market He believes degrees in engi-neering sciences or business will be less prob-lematic than those in liberal arts due simply to demand
UA senior Jamie House realized these concerns during his undergradu-ate work as an education major with an emphasis in history Believing a bachelorrsquos degree in education was no longer enough to become a teacher he switched his major to history He plans to continue his edu-cation into graduate school in order to make himself a better candidate for future employ-ment
ldquoI think the chances of get-ting a job without a masterrsquos degree these days are slim to nonerdquo he said ldquoEspecially in the education field if I want
to be taken seriously I need a masterrsquos Having a bachelorrsquos is typical Itrsquos commonplace now so you donrsquot stand out in a crowd anymorerdquo
However sophomore adver-tising major Amanda Wallace hopes her personality and work ethic will protect her from the
economic stormldquoI donrsquot think
that itrsquos the school you went to or the degree you have that matters most in a job searchrdquo she said ldquoIrsquod say itrsquos more about who you are and what you have to
offer as far as your field goes mdash not just what you learned sit-ting in the classroomrdquo
Regardless Ijaz stressed the importance of one of the find-ings of the Georgetown study Nearly seven percent of college graduates are unemployed whereas 24 percent of high school diploma holders are

In this age of e-books and e-commerce achieving your dreams comes one step closer to reality for amateur authorsLauren Alexander a junior majoring in English published her first work ldquoBreathe An Anthologyrdquo onto the Amazon store this past August as an e-book compatible with Kindle devices The 43-story anthology features works up to four pages long most keeping to a page in length According to Alexander her stories are presented in por-traits and monologues on topics ranging from love and heart-break to murder and thought
She recalled her first taste of writing coming via the creation of short picture stories as a child which led to her to writing short stories by the fourth grade
ldquo[The stories] were really ran-domrdquo Alexander said ldquoWhen I was younger they were just kind of something I didrdquo
She specifically remembered a Halloween story written for class in elementary school prompting her mother to play-fully suggest she become an author one day
ldquoIt was kind of one of those dreams you donrsquot think will really happenrdquo Alexander said
Throughout middle school and high school she wrote and wrote sporadically picking away at book ideas and crafting quick random stories Though tied together by reflections on morality and her thoroughly detailed style of writing both of which are still evident in her work the writings and her cre-ative motivations mirrored her own varied experiences growing up in Tuscaloosa
ldquoMy goal with my writing is to try and connect with people and since my writing comes from so many different stages of my life sometimes a story will show what I was going through at the timerdquo Alexander said ldquoWith so many different styles and genres itrsquos easier for some-one to pick one up and connect with itrdquo
While attending Hillcrest High School Alexanderrsquos teach-ers began to take more interest in her writings and brought her to realize that if she could fin-ish a project and send it out she
could actually be publishedHowever it wasnrsquot until this
August that her cache of 43 short stories written during a time span from ninth grade to her sophomore year of college was truly ready to go out into the world
It was Alexanderrsquos high school friend Christian Smitherman now a junior at the University who brought the idea of inde-pendent publication to her Smitherman who had read Alexanderrsquos work in high school suggested via Facebook that she consider self-publishing
through the Amazon Store as an e-book to get her work out
ldquoShersquos able to convey emo-tion and convey feelingsrdquo said Smitherman ldquoIrsquom not much of a poetry or literature personhellip but anything I ever read of hers just leaves me breathlessrdquo
After looking through the publishing process Alexander collected and formatted her works until 200 am on August 22 when she put the collection online She said Smitherman was the first to read her newly collected works
ldquoShe just conveys emo-tions at their rawest levelsrdquo Smitherman said ldquoNow with these new stories Irsquom able to see these other sides of Lauren Irsquove never seen beforerdquo
According to Alexander the response from her supporting family and friends continues to be strong and motivational
but she was surprised to hearpieces of advice from publish-ers and writers through social media avenues
Since her publication Alexander said she hopes to submit her work to Kindle Singles an Amazon venue showcasing selected works by new authors Additionally she expressed her hope of pursu-ing more traditional approach-es to publication while honing her authorial voice through further short story and novel writing
ldquoIt took a while for it to real-ly settle in [that Irsquom published] and sometimes I think to myself lsquoOh itrsquos not a big dealrsquordquo Alexander said ldquoBut in reality getting published has always been my dream and now if one person reads the collection and it affects them the way I want it to it was worth itrdquo

The women of The University of Alabama can be quick to condemn Tuscaloosa as a place completely void of any decent shopping experiences and assume trips to Birminghamrsquos Summit and Galleria are nec-essary monthly events to catch up with the latest trends We may not have a huge number of trendy boutiques but the stores we do have are more than adequate for all of our sartorial game day needs
I decided to share my quest for a game day outfit that could also transition into everyday wear in hopes of helping out a fellow spirited fashion lover
I decided to shop White House Black Market at Midtown Village hoping the name meant I could find pieces featuring the colors associated with the famous Paul ldquoBearrdquo Bryant houndstooth hat The overall aesthetic of the store may seem too matronly for the average college student but on closer evaluation WHBM revealed plenty of classically styled pencil skirts ankle length pants and structured tops that are a must for every girlrsquos closet
Luckily for Alabama fans red was the featured accent color found throughout the store of black and white appar-el This made it easy to find appropriate game day com-binations of red pants with a patterned black and white top or a houndstooth skirt with a red sweater If you are the sort of girl who gives way to com-fort when strutting the game day runway known as the
Quad sidewalk WHBM had an extensive collection of black white and red heels perfect for pairing with pencil skirts and patterned dresses
In addition to the classic pieces found at WHBM I decid-ed to check out the game day trends at two boutiques on the Strip Private Gallery proved ideal for the woman who refuses to wear the red jersey-knit one-shouldered dress that almost every girl on cam-pus wears to the first game PG featured everything from grey brocade-style shorts and sheer crimson button-downs to bright red rompers and hound-stooth pea coats This store is perfect for a more abstract game day look that emphasiz-es current trends rather than typical game day fashions
Sassy Britches also locat-ed on the Strip contained a plethora of game day apparel options much like Private Galleryrsquos and equally as expen-sive I expected with less brand name items SB would be the more economic option of the two but I was surprised SB featured red patterned prints which seem to be the most popular game day look and I found myself loving the hound-stooth print shorts offered at SB - perfect for the rest of the September games
After Saturdayrsquos game I was able to conclude many UA women saved their brand new game day dresses for the more ldquoimportantrdquo home games after seeing the vast amount of football jerseys that Saturdayrsquos female fans adorned If you have not found the perfect out-fit for this season of Crimson
Tide football I suggest you check out local stores before heading to Birmingham Afterall no one knows Tuscaloosa trends better than Tuscaloosa We are number one and we should dress like it

The Alabama volleyball team secured another tour-nament-win this weekend in the Hampton Inn Bama Bash as they dominated in Foster Auditorium dropping only one set all weekend
Outside hitter Kayla Fitterer said the biggest thing that the team can take away from this weekendrsquos play is confidence
Fitterer played in her first home match on Friday night against Austin Peay where she posted her 26th career double double with 18 kills and 12 digs
The senior has taken prac-tice and play on a day-to-day basis as she continues to recover from an off-season foot surgery
ldquoIrsquom back in as much as I
can be right nowrdquo Fitterer said after the tournament-clinching match against East Tennessee State ldquoI took off this morning and yesterday morning to rest but Irsquoll be good now to play in all of the games from hererdquo
Fitterer posted seven kills and seven digs against ETSU
The Tidersquos performance in the Bama Bash landed Sierra Wilson Katherine White and Laura Steiner spots on the all-tournament team with Steiner earning the title of Most Valuable Player
Steiner a freshman outside hitter finished the tournament with a hitting percentage of 358 34 kills over four matches and an average of 340 kills per set played
ldquoI didnrsquot actually know I was playing until right before the game so I just went in there
trying to have a good match to finish the tournament out and I ended up with some kills so that was nicerdquo Steiner said
With a match-high 12 kills versus ETSU Steiner showed her ability to step up even as a freshman
ldquoI think you always have to prepare yourself thinking that you might go in - especially if someone is not performing their best that you might get thrown in thererdquo Steiner said
The tournament gave the Tide many opportunities to see growth in almost every mem-ber of the team
ldquoWersquore getting balanced and wersquore really pleased with Laura Steinerrsquos perfor-mance as a freshman from the outsiderdquo head coach Ed Allen said ldquoShersquos giving us a great deal of consistency and
exploiting the block with her offense Again Sierra Wilson continues to grow as a leader and quarterback of this team She still has a long way to go but shersquos in a better place than she was two weeks agordquo
In the four matches played Wilson posted 157 total assists giving her an average of 121 assists per set
ldquoWe identified several things that we need to work onrdquo Allen said of his teamrsquos overall weekend play ldquoI also thought we had a little bit more con-sistency in most parts of play except for attacking in that last matchrdquo

When a coach is as success-ful as Alabamarsquos Nick Saban has been in recent years cre-ativity is key when trying to motivate a team
Whether it is a rant to the media about not respecting an opponent or getting on to the team for committing a penalty Saban uses every tactic pos-sible to get the Tide prepared week in and week out
If Alabama has a bad prac-tice Saban comes into his media availability and barks at the local reporters for writ-ing negative stories about the Tidersquos opponent He says it is unfair to not give teams like Western Kentucky respect
(even though Alabama was a 40 point favorite) He goes on about how it is not fair to his team or Western Kentucky because of how hard they work to get where they are
But Saban really has a hid-den agenda when he gives the media a scowl The coach knows his team will watch the countless number of videos or hear about him erupting through social media This is how he gets his message across when it is not effective at practice
Saban understands the basic principle of being successful it is human nature to get com-placent He watched it happen in 2010 when a supremely tal-ented Alabama team dropped three very winnable games
The teamrsquos focus has been not succumbing to complacen-cy It is what the coaching staff preaches to the players and what the players regurgitate to the media
So Alabamarsquos lackluster effort in its 35-0 beating of Western Kentucky was expect-ed Even though the Tide is a national power the team still has a tendency to take its foot off the gas and play down to its competition
The offensive line which is being hyped as the best in the country allowed six sacks and multiple quarterback hur-ries The line also struggled to create holes for the running backs as the team was held to 103 rushing yards compared to the 232 against Michigan
ldquoAt least three of the sacks somebody got beat on the edgerdquo Saban said ldquoCouple other times we probably held the ball ndash the last one we held the ball no one was really openrdquo
The scary thing is that Alabamarsquos team is not even close to being a finished prod-uct but it is still one of the three or four best teams in the country (along with USC LSU and Oregon)
If Alabamarsquos secondary continues to develop and the offensive line protects McCarron this team has the potential to repeat The first major test for the Tide will be this Saturday against Arkansas The Razorbacks feature a dynamic offense
lead by quarterback Tyler Wilson If healthy Wilson is an elite passer with a big arm and the ability to make every throw on the field
Arkansasrsquo defense is not elite by SEC standards but it will be considerably bet-ter than Western Kentuckyrsquos which did a pretty good num-ber to Alabamarsquos offensive line
Alabama knows it cannot play the same way in week
three as it did in week two because the Hogs have serious upset potential
But this could all be a set- up Alabama could be waitingfor another quality opponent to embarrass like it did the Wolverines
ldquoItrsquos just a young team being youngrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said of the teamrsquos struggles
For Saban and the local mediarsquos sake letrsquos hope so
For successful coaches creativity necessary when trying to motivate team FOOTBALL | COLUMN

Alabamarsquos McCarron defense shined against WKU
7 | Alabama has forced seven turnovers including four interceptions and three fumbles
35 | Alabamarsquos offense has started fast scoring 35 points in the first quarter compared to 41 in
the other quarters
0 | Alabama has not allowed a single point in the first or fourth quarter this season
8 | Alabamarsquos offensive line has allowed eight sacks for a loss of 69 yards
6 | Quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown six touchdowns after throwing a total of 16 in his first season as a starter
3795 | Alabamarsquos offense has been explosive early this season averaging 3795 yards a game
When AJ McCarron wasnrsquot running for his life the redshirt junior was an efficient 14-of-19 for 219 yards McCarron also tossed four touchdowns hitting his receivers in stride on long passes
The running backs barely totaled more than 100 yards gain-ing 103 To make matters worse no individual runner gained more than 50 yards Eddie Lacy was the leading rusher with 36 yards on nine carries
Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones each caught two touchdowns and made explosive plays in the passing game The Tide receiv-ers stretched the field and showed other oppo-nents that Alabama is much more than a run-ning team
The offensive line struggled in both pass and run blocking situations allowing quarterback AJ McCarron to be sacked six times
Any time a unit pitches a shutout and forces four turnovers it deserves high remarks Alabamarsquos defense was without starters Jesse Williams and Dee Milliner but theydid not allow Western Kentucky any breathing room
The coaching staff implemented an effective game plan to stop the Hilltoppers and the players executed However the team often looked lethargic particularly the offensive line

More than 100000 football fans served as a strenuous test for a newly-installed antenna system intended to improve wireless phone coverage in Bryant-Denny Stadium and reported mixed feel-ings about the efficency of this yearrsquos addition
The DAS or distributed anten-na system in Bryant-Denny Stadium is made up of 715 anten-nas designed and placed to boost signal inside the stadium Mark Beeler of the UA Office of Land Management said ATampT and Verizon Wireless worked togeth-er to install the system in Bryant-Denny Stadium
ldquoThe DAS installation was approved by the UA Board of Trustees in Januaryrdquo Beeler said ldquoWork to install the system began shortly thereafterrdquo
The system was put to the test on Saturday during the Tidersquos first home game against Western Kentucky University and student comments on cellular cover-age ranged from outstanding to awful
Kelvin Williams a graduate student in the masters of accoun-tancy program said his service in the stadium was ldquoexcellentrdquo Williams uses ATampT
ldquoToday was a good day in the land of LG slide phones in Bryant-Dennyrdquo Williams said Saturday ldquoI had no problems communi-cating I was able to make and receive phone calls to my mama in [Birmingham] and from a friend in the stadium I was also able to text without delays or backups I had a quick steady text [conversation] with a friend in the stadium just after kickoffrdquo
Susan Hurwitz a sophomore majoring in psychology used
Sprint Hurwitz said her phone had never worked in Bryant-Denny Stadium during games in seasons past but she had no problems sending or receiving texts and phone calls during the game
The game day experience for others was not as fortunate For many it was back to the familiar territory of dropped calls mes-sage send failures and no chance of using mobile Internet services Some students said they could distinguish no change at all
ldquoI couldnrsquot even get or make calls let alone textsrdquo said Hannah Hicks an ATampT-using senior majoring in philosophy and religious studies
Chris Schmidt a junior major-ing in civil engineering used Verizon and also had coverage issues
ldquoBefore the game it worked better [than last year]rdquo he said
ldquobut during the game I had no data coverage at allrdquo
Shane Perry a graduate stu-dent in secondary education and language arts could see no change from last year As an ATampT user he said he could send texts at a delayed rate but couldnrsquot access the Internet at all
The problem with coverage in Bryant-Denny Stadium is caused by the sheer numbers of users trying to access networks at once Beeler said
ldquoSimply put [the issue with cellular coverage] was a matter of capacityrdquo Beeler said ldquoThe large amount of traffic during gamedays was overwhelming the existing cellular networkrdquo
Lance Skelly director of news relations for ATampT noted the problem with call volume but said that football stadiums them-selves present issues to coverage
CW | Bryce DentonATampT set up a truck on Campus Dr to help boost signal during Satur-days game against WKU on Sept 8 2012
ATampT service on Gameday receives mixed emotions
providersldquoThe geographical limitations
ndash terrain building construction etc ndash of football stadiums also make this an interesting chal-lengerdquo
Skelly said that DAS has been used in sports venues across the nation
ldquoWe have deployed DAS on
professional and college sportsrsquo biggest stages at champion-ship games in Indianapolis New Orleans Arlington Texas and othersrdquo Skelly said
Bryant-Denny Stadiumrsquos 715 antenna DAS will be challenged again on Sept 22 when the Tide takes on Florida Atlantic University
Meanwhile Sigma Phi Epsilon a non-Machine frater-nity was given front row seats President AJ Collins believes this yearrsquos third-party appli-cation was fairer than in past years
ldquoThe historical power struc-tures on this campus have in the past dictated where organizations would sit We were optimistic and hoped we would be seat-ed objectivelyrdquo Collins said ldquoIrsquom just really excited that a fair and objective process has placed the organizations that value academics leadership and service up frontrdquo
Air Force ROTC Detachment 010 which ranked fourth with 367 received the block farthest from the field in S-5 The block is located behind the lowest- ranked fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa which scored 191 points The Cadet Wing Commander said the placement was a result of a late application fee
ldquoAlthough AFROTC Detachment 010 is disappointed with the block seating arrange-ment we recognize the Student Government Association had rules in placerdquo Zachary J Taylor said ldquoWe respect the Student Government Association and the university that it represents and we still look forward to cheering on the Tide this fallrdquo
Organizations submitted a desired number of seats according to their member-ship numbers which was then multiplied by 17 to account for the number of guests ndash often female dates ndash each member can bring with them
While any guests must have student tickets or follow the upgrade rules as student guests in general admission they are reserved spots in block seating up to 45 minutes before gametime
All but six of the 34 organi-zations that applied for block seating are exclusively male greek fraternities The remain-ing organizations are co-edu-cational organizations other than the Alpha Kappa Alpha
sorority No other sororities applied for block seating
ldquoI encourage all organiza-tions to apply regardless of genderrdquo Calderone said
The Crimson White con-tacted several sorority presi-dents to comment on the lack of female participation in blockseating One president declinedto comment and others did notreturn phone calls by press time
Bonnie Denman a sopho-more majoring in managementinformation systems said that while some have touted the new application process as fair block seating is still systemi-cally inequitable to women and the general student body
ldquoI know Irsquove gotten to the games two and half hours early and people show up to the game last-minute and get great seatsand thatrsquos not very fair They end up leaving before most of the students in general seatingas wellrdquo Denman said ldquoI would say get rid of it all together and let it be first come first serveJust make it known that if you get there early you get a goodseatrdquo

Depending on who you ask being the President of the United States of America is either the most or least cov-eted job in the entire world The responsibilities the job entails are innumerable and the pressures felt while in office have sufficed to grey the hair of many who have taken up the mantle The presidency at its heart is still a job and the president is essentially a manager working to make his salary and impress his boss It should come of no surprise to you that his boss is every other citizen of voting age in these United States
For many this is the first
instance in which they will be given this level of responsibil-ity As the presidentrsquos bosses the time has come for our qua-drennial employee review and the season is ripe for us as a people to decide if President Barack Obamarsquos tenure as the face of our government should be extended or granted to another man who has shown up to his interview wielding a rather strong resume
Although the United States of America might not be the largest in terms of size or popu-lation when compared to other nations throughout the world our success as both an indus-trial and economic machine is unparalleled in the history of mankind We have had our ups and downs as the years have
gone by but they have always come with nearly cyclical pre-dictability between economic highs and lows President Obama began his time here with our nation in the midst of the Great Recession but he earned his office with promises of hope and change for all of America
Since those promises were made the cycle of ups and downs that has occurred since the dawn of the modern inter-national economy has been replaced by the greatest imped-iment to progress - stagnation During this stagnation we have incurred so much debt that the entire United States govern-ment has come within weeks of bankruptcy potentially threat-ening the stability of not just
our nation but the entire world in which we rely on to fuel our fantastic standard of living
Jobs have been created and certain civil rights have been protected but even more jobs have been lost and the guys at the airport still reserve the right to either take naked pictures of you or fondle you before you board your flight President Obama is a man of great resolve and courage but when compared to what he promised us during his inter-view four years ago the cur-rent reality he has created as the leader of our nation is a far cry from the assurances that got him both his current job and a Nobel Peace Prize
The other applicant for the President of the United States
is a man who comes to us with a resume that is impressive to say the least In the past decade alone he has not only taken a defunct Olympics and turned it into a show of American prowess in Salt Lake City Utah but has also transformed Massachusetts from a state ridden with debt to a debt-free state Looking even further back his time spent with Bain Capital saw the corporation become one of the largest pri-vate equity investment firms in the nation
While his problem solving abilities have yet to take a turn at the national level it would seem that these abilities have proven themselves at nearly every crossroads they have encountered Although several
of his personal beliefs may be averse to the current American popular opinion his proven ability to eliminate the precur-sors to stagnation should be intriguing to the economically-ailing American populace
There are millions people who serve a role in deciding who gets the job this November so it is the responsibility of the voter to dig deeper into each applicants resume to decide whom they want to elect Just looking back at the resume Obama gave us four years ago it would seem that it was remarkably indicative of our current standing as a nation

Discrepancy exists between President Barack Obamarsquos resume results

Itrsquos not that I am against campus growth With growth comes bet-ter resources and opportunities What I am against is how we have grown The unnecessary growing pains and strains have associated the idea of ldquogrowthrdquo with nega-tive experiences There is a lack of adequate facilities for our current population Consider ten Hoorrsquos human traffic jam or traffic jams involving cars on campus many of these discomforts could be avoided with proper preparation
Unfortunately the University has made a habit of playing ldquocatch uprdquo with the numbers rather than pre-paring itself for the people it knows are heading its way A new recre-ation center is supposedly on the way but only after our current rec-reation center turned into one big waiting line for treadmills between the hours of 10 am and 7 pm
But accepting the fact that our campus is growing and will continue to grow I am putting my sword back in its scabbard and sav-ing it for a fight for which I have a
chance Last week Guy Bailey the new UA president reaffirmed the continuation of Robert Wittrsquos goal of increasing enrollment Despite many students voicing concern over more masses the increase is inevitable
More people than ever are attending college precipitating an increased enrollment around the country Also this university is seen as a business to many espe-cially those in charge The main goal of a business is to make money
Yet while the pursuit of 36000 stu-dents was Wittrsquos the method of pur-suit is now up to President Bailey While at Texas Tech President Bailey orchestrated record-high enrollment for the school Perhaps it is because of the vast Lubbock backdrop but the increase of popu-lation did not translate into discom-fort at Tech Instead it became syn-onymous with growth of quality
There are many similarities between Bailey and Witt and after all Chancellor Witt is technically still in charge However Baileyrsquos experience at Texas Tech and his background in academia indicate his views on campus growth are
different Assuming as an educa-tor that Bailey will look at The University of Alabama as a place of higher education and not a cash cow waiting to get milked the proj-ect might actually be student-cen-tered
The numbers may be the same but the experience should be dif-ferent It must be different for the University to remain a sought-after educational experience Increasing growth is admirable but if it is done in sloppy fashion the unrest of the masses may overshadow the original desire Proper planning prevents poor performance and the University needs to prepare for the future rather than wait until the future is already trying to move into its new dorm room
Bailey has grown a school before so his experience leads me to believe he knows what he is doing Potentially this period of growth could be a smoother smarter and more comfortable experience than the previous one

Campus growth has potential under BaileyBy Kyle Jones
As I sit here looking out over the Quad I am struck by the relative peace that hangs over the campus Friends of all ages back-grounds faiths and political views walk side-by-side in harmony as they go to class-es and prepare for the future As a fresh-man this is truly an experience unlike any other Sadly it is also an experience that is growing less common in the United States
Currently it feels as if the very course of man history and nature itself is preparing for nothing short of all-out war and chaos In Tampa we see the 2012 Republican National Convention calling for the end of the Obama presidency and a long awaited unity within the nation through its presi-dential candidate Governor Mitt Romney A now tainted hope as the convention draws almost daily attacks Before the convention had even begun members of Occupy Tampa were arrested while pro-testing outside the convention for posing a security risk to the many party officials within the convention
One of the mottos which has always been at the heart of the United States is ldquoE Pluribus Unum (Out of Many One)rdquo However it would seem now that this motto has lost its meaning among the cur-rent leadership The three branches of gov-
ernment no longer recognize themselvesas leaders of one unified nation but ratheras leaders of a liberal nation and a conser-vative nation They then set about poison-ing their own constituency with their ownhatred fear and shameful lack of respectfor their fellow countrymen
The result is that the masses fall intoan accursed state of apathy and malaiseno longer seeking what is best for thenation but rather becoming servants tothe hegemony and bureaucracy of corruptpoliticians on both sides of the aisle Thisensures that those who are in power willremain in power and that the voice of thepeople will be secondary to the voice of thepeoplersquos representatives
Meanwhile while the nation bickersand fights amongst itself the debt of ournation rises and our once proud ldquoEmpireof Libertyrdquo grows weak and fearful Whathas happened to the republic of the people
I look to the day when apathy issacrificed upon the altar of ambition I lookto the day when we will once again be aunited people This day will never comehowever unless the youth of today takeup the cause of true liberty and commonsense

ldquoFifty years ago not every-one went to college mdash if you had a high school diploma you could get a good job but if you had a college degree you automatically got a better onerdquo she said ldquoWith the GI Bill from the rsquo40s and people wanting to dodge the draft of the Vietnam War more people went to col-lege more people got degrees and now itrsquos commonplace to have a bachelorrsquos degree Having a masterrsquos though sets you apart Itrsquos harder more reading longer tests and more specializedrdquo
Di Giulian remains hopeful in her job prospects but notes that the higher-paying jobs come from more specialized degrees
ldquoWith my history degree I could apply for human resource jobs -- or things like that -- and I could probably get themrdquo she said ldquoAnd thatrsquos a real job I donrsquot know about advancement in that field but itrsquos there and something doable But if your
degree is in chemical engineer-ing obviously by just having a bachelorrsquos degree yoursquoll get a better-paying jobrdquo
Ijaz agrees that some college majors will be more successful than others in the job market He believes degrees in engi-neering sciences or business will be less prob-lematic than those in liberal arts due simply to demand
UA senior Jamie House realized these concerns during his undergradu-ate work as an education major with an emphasis in history Believing a bachelorrsquos degree in education was no longer enough to become a teacher he switched his major to history He plans to continue his edu-cation into graduate school in order to make himself a better candidate for future employ-ment
ldquoI think the chances of get-ting a job without a masterrsquos degree these days are slim to nonerdquo he said ldquoEspecially in the education field if I want
to be taken seriously I need a masterrsquos Having a bachelorrsquos is typical Itrsquos commonplace now so you donrsquot stand out in a crowd anymorerdquo
However sophomore adver-tising major Amanda Wallace hopes her personality and work ethic will protect her from the
economic stormldquoI donrsquot think

offer as far as your field goes mdash not just what you learned sit-ting in the classroomrdquo
Regardless Ijaz stressed the importance of one of the find-ings of the Georgetown study Nearly seven percent of college graduates are unemployed whereas 24 percent of high school diploma holders are

In this age of e-books and e-commerce achieving your dreams comes one step closer to reality for amateur authorsLauren Alexander a junior majoring in English published her first work ldquoBreathe An Anthologyrdquo onto the Amazon store this past August as an e-book compatible with Kindle devices The 43-story anthology features works up to four pages long most keeping to a page in length According to Alexander her stories are presented in por-traits and monologues on topics ranging from love and heart-break to murder and thought
She recalled her first taste of writing coming via the creation of short picture stories as a child which led to her to writing short stories by the fourth grade
ldquo[The stories] were really ran-domrdquo Alexander said ldquoWhen I was younger they were just kind of something I didrdquo
She specifically remembered a Halloween story written for class in elementary school prompting her mother to play-fully suggest she become an author one day
ldquoIt was kind of one of those dreams you donrsquot think will really happenrdquo Alexander said
Throughout middle school and high school she wrote and wrote sporadically picking away at book ideas and crafting quick random stories Though tied together by reflections on morality and her thoroughly detailed style of writing both of which are still evident in her work the writings and her cre-ative motivations mirrored her own varied experiences growing up in Tuscaloosa
ldquoMy goal with my writing is to try and connect with people and since my writing comes from so many different stages of my life sometimes a story will show what I was going through at the timerdquo Alexander said ldquoWith so many different styles and genres itrsquos easier for some-one to pick one up and connect with itrdquo
While attending Hillcrest High School Alexanderrsquos teach-ers began to take more interest in her writings and brought her to realize that if she could fin-ish a project and send it out she
could actually be publishedHowever it wasnrsquot until this
August that her cache of 43 short stories written during a time span from ninth grade to her sophomore year of college was truly ready to go out into the world
It was Alexanderrsquos high school friend Christian Smitherman now a junior at the University who brought the idea of inde-pendent publication to her Smitherman who had read Alexanderrsquos work in high school suggested via Facebook that she consider self-publishing
through the Amazon Store as an e-book to get her work out
ldquoShersquos able to convey emo-tion and convey feelingsrdquo said Smitherman ldquoIrsquom not much of a poetry or literature personhellip but anything I ever read of hers just leaves me breathlessrdquo
After looking through the publishing process Alexander collected and formatted her works until 200 am on August 22 when she put the collection online She said Smitherman was the first to read her newly collected works
ldquoShe just conveys emo-tions at their rawest levelsrdquo Smitherman said ldquoNow with these new stories Irsquom able to see these other sides of Lauren Irsquove never seen beforerdquo
According to Alexander the response from her supporting family and friends continues to be strong and motivational
but she was surprised to hearpieces of advice from publish-ers and writers through social media avenues
Since her publication Alexander said she hopes to submit her work to Kindle Singles an Amazon venue showcasing selected works by new authors Additionally she expressed her hope of pursu-ing more traditional approach-es to publication while honing her authorial voice through further short story and novel writing
ldquoIt took a while for it to real-ly settle in [that Irsquom published] and sometimes I think to myself lsquoOh itrsquos not a big dealrsquordquo Alexander said ldquoBut in reality getting published has always been my dream and now if one person reads the collection and it affects them the way I want it to it was worth itrdquo

I decided to shop White House Black Market at Midtown Village hoping the name meant I could find pieces featuring the colors associated with the famous Paul ldquoBearrdquo Bryant houndstooth hat The overall aesthetic of the store may seem too matronly for the average college student but on closer evaluation WHBM revealed plenty of classically styled pencil skirts ankle length pants and structured tops that are a must for every girlrsquos closet
Luckily for Alabama fans red was the featured accent color found throughout the store of black and white appar-el This made it easy to find appropriate game day com-binations of red pants with a patterned black and white top or a houndstooth skirt with a red sweater If you are the sort of girl who gives way to com-fort when strutting the game day runway known as the
Quad sidewalk WHBM had an extensive collection of black white and red heels perfect for pairing with pencil skirts and patterned dresses
In addition to the classic pieces found at WHBM I decid-ed to check out the game day trends at two boutiques on the Strip Private Gallery proved ideal for the woman who refuses to wear the red jersey-knit one-shouldered dress that almost every girl on cam-pus wears to the first game PG featured everything from grey brocade-style shorts and sheer crimson button-downs to bright red rompers and hound-stooth pea coats This store is perfect for a more abstract game day look that emphasiz-es current trends rather than typical game day fashions
Sassy Britches also locat-ed on the Strip contained a plethora of game day apparel options much like Private Galleryrsquos and equally as expen-sive I expected with less brand name items SB would be the more economic option of the two but I was surprised SB featured red patterned prints which seem to be the most popular game day look and I found myself loving the hound-stooth print shorts offered at SB - perfect for the rest of the September games
After Saturdayrsquos game I was able to conclude many UA women saved their brand new game day dresses for the more ldquoimportantrdquo home games after seeing the vast amount of football jerseys that Saturdayrsquos female fans adorned If you have not found the perfect out-fit for this season of Crimson
Tide football I suggest you check out local stores before heading to Birmingham Afterall no one knows Tuscaloosa trends better than Tuscaloosa We are number one and we should dress like it

The Alabama volleyball team secured another tour-nament-win this weekend in the Hampton Inn Bama Bash as they dominated in Foster Auditorium dropping only one set all weekend
Outside hitter Kayla Fitterer said the biggest thing that the team can take away from this weekendrsquos play is confidence
Fitterer played in her first home match on Friday night against Austin Peay where she posted her 26th career double double with 18 kills and 12 digs
The senior has taken prac-tice and play on a day-to-day basis as she continues to recover from an off-season foot surgery
ldquoIrsquom back in as much as I
can be right nowrdquo Fitterer said after the tournament-clinching match against East Tennessee State ldquoI took off this morning and yesterday morning to rest but Irsquoll be good now to play in all of the games from hererdquo
Fitterer posted seven kills and seven digs against ETSU
The Tidersquos performance in the Bama Bash landed Sierra Wilson Katherine White and Laura Steiner spots on the all-tournament team with Steiner earning the title of Most Valuable Player
Steiner a freshman outside hitter finished the tournament with a hitting percentage of 358 34 kills over four matches and an average of 340 kills per set played
ldquoI didnrsquot actually know I was playing until right before the game so I just went in there
trying to have a good match to finish the tournament out and I ended up with some kills so that was nicerdquo Steiner said
With a match-high 12 kills versus ETSU Steiner showed her ability to step up even as a freshman
ldquoI think you always have to prepare yourself thinking that you might go in - especially if someone is not performing their best that you might get thrown in thererdquo Steiner said
The tournament gave the Tide many opportunities to see growth in almost every mem-ber of the team
ldquoWersquore getting balanced and wersquore really pleased with Laura Steinerrsquos perfor-mance as a freshman from the outsiderdquo head coach Ed Allen said ldquoShersquos giving us a great deal of consistency and
exploiting the block with her offense Again Sierra Wilson continues to grow as a leader and quarterback of this team She still has a long way to go but shersquos in a better place than she was two weeks agordquo
In the four matches played Wilson posted 157 total assists giving her an average of 121 assists per set
ldquoWe identified several things that we need to work onrdquo Allen said of his teamrsquos overall weekend play ldquoI also thought we had a little bit more con-sistency in most parts of play except for attacking in that last matchrdquo
The 10-1 Tide returns to Foster Auditorium on Tuesday to take on Samford in its last non-conference match before opening up SEC play against LSU
Crimson Tide wins Hampton Inn tournament VOLLEYBALL
By Marquavius BurnettSports Editor
When a coach is as success-ful as Alabamarsquos Nick Saban has been in recent years cre-ativity is key when trying to motivate a team
Whether it is a rant to the media about not respecting an opponent or getting on to the team for committing a penalty Saban uses every tactic pos-sible to get the Tide prepared week in and week out
If Alabama has a bad prac-tice Saban comes into his media availability and barks at the local reporters for writ-ing negative stories about the Tidersquos opponent He says it is unfair to not give teams like Western Kentucky respect
(even though Alabama was a 40 point favorite) He goes on about how it is not fair to his team or Western Kentucky because of how hard they work to get where they are
But Saban really has a hid-den agenda when he gives the media a scowl The coach knows his team will watch the countless number of videos or hear about him erupting through social media This is how he gets his message across when it is not effective at practice
Saban understands the basic principle of being successful it is human nature to get com-placent He watched it happen in 2010 when a supremely tal-ented Alabama team dropped three very winnable games
The teamrsquos focus has been not succumbing to complacen-cy It is what the coaching staff preaches to the players and what the players regurgitate to the media
So Alabamarsquos lackluster effort in its 35-0 beating of Western Kentucky was expect-ed Even though the Tide is a national power the team still has a tendency to take its foot off the gas and play down to its competition
The offensive line which is being hyped as the best in the country allowed six sacks and multiple quarterback hur-ries The line also struggled to create holes for the running backs as the team was held to 103 rushing yards compared to the 232 against Michigan
ldquoAt least three of the sacks somebody got beat on the edgerdquo Saban said ldquoCouple other times we probably held the ball ndash the last one we held the ball no one was really openrdquo
The scary thing is that Alabamarsquos team is not even close to being a finished prod-uct but it is still one of the three or four best teams in the country (along with USC LSU and Oregon)
If Alabamarsquos secondary continues to develop and the offensive line protects McCarron this team has the potential to repeat The first major test for the Tide will be this Saturday against Arkansas The Razorbacks feature a dynamic offense
lead by quarterback Tyler Wilson If healthy Wilson is an elite passer with a big arm and the ability to make every throw on the field
Arkansasrsquo defense is not elite by SEC standards but it will be considerably bet-ter than Western Kentuckyrsquos which did a pretty good num-ber to Alabamarsquos offensive line
Alabama knows it cannot play the same way in week
three as it did in week two because the Hogs have serious upset potential
But this could all be a set- up Alabama could be waitingfor another quality opponent to embarrass like it did the Wolverines
ldquoItrsquos just a young team being youngrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said of the teamrsquos struggles
For Saban and the local mediarsquos sake letrsquos hope so
For successful coaches creativity necessary when trying to motivate team FOOTBALL | COLUMN

Alabamarsquos McCarron defense shined against WKU
7 | Alabama has forced seven turnovers including four interceptions and three fumbles
35 | Alabamarsquos offense has started fast scoring 35 points in the first quarter compared to 41 in
the other quarters
0 | Alabama has not allowed a single point in the first or fourth quarter this season
8 | Alabamarsquos offensive line has allowed eight sacks for a loss of 69 yards
6 | Quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown six touchdowns after throwing a total of 16 in his first season as a starter
3795 | Alabamarsquos offense has been explosive early this season averaging 3795 yards a game
When AJ McCarron wasnrsquot running for his life the redshirt junior was an efficient 14-of-19 for 219 yards McCarron also tossed four touchdowns hitting his receivers in stride on long passes
The running backs barely totaled more than 100 yards gain-ing 103 To make matters worse no individual runner gained more than 50 yards Eddie Lacy was the leading rusher with 36 yards on nine carries
Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones each caught two touchdowns and made explosive plays in the passing game The Tide receiv-ers stretched the field and showed other oppo-nents that Alabama is much more than a run-ning team
The offensive line struggled in both pass and run blocking situations allowing quarterback AJ McCarron to be sacked six times
Any time a unit pitches a shutout and forces four turnovers it deserves high remarks Alabamarsquos defense was without starters Jesse Williams and Dee Milliner but theydid not allow Western Kentucky any breathing room
The coaching staff implemented an effective game plan to stop the Hilltoppers and the players executed However the team often looked lethargic particularly the offensive line

Depending on who you ask being the President of the United States of America is either the most or least cov-eted job in the entire world The responsibilities the job entails are innumerable and the pressures felt while in office have sufficed to grey the hair of many who have taken up the mantle The presidency at its heart is still a job and the president is essentially a manager working to make his salary and impress his boss It should come of no surprise to you that his boss is every other citizen of voting age in these United States
For many this is the first
instance in which they will be given this level of responsibil-ity As the presidentrsquos bosses the time has come for our qua-drennial employee review and the season is ripe for us as a people to decide if President Barack Obamarsquos tenure as the face of our government should be extended or granted to another man who has shown up to his interview wielding a rather strong resume
Although the United States of America might not be the largest in terms of size or popu-lation when compared to other nations throughout the world our success as both an indus-trial and economic machine is unparalleled in the history of mankind We have had our ups and downs as the years have
gone by but they have always come with nearly cyclical pre-dictability between economic highs and lows President Obama began his time here with our nation in the midst of the Great Recession but he earned his office with promises of hope and change for all of America
Since those promises were made the cycle of ups and downs that has occurred since the dawn of the modern inter-national economy has been replaced by the greatest imped-iment to progress - stagnation During this stagnation we have incurred so much debt that the entire United States govern-ment has come within weeks of bankruptcy potentially threat-ening the stability of not just
our nation but the entire world in which we rely on to fuel our fantastic standard of living
Jobs have been created and certain civil rights have been protected but even more jobs have been lost and the guys at the airport still reserve the right to either take naked pictures of you or fondle you before you board your flight President Obama is a man of great resolve and courage but when compared to what he promised us during his inter-view four years ago the cur-rent reality he has created as the leader of our nation is a far cry from the assurances that got him both his current job and a Nobel Peace Prize
The other applicant for the President of the United States
is a man who comes to us with a resume that is impressive to say the least In the past decade alone he has not only taken a defunct Olympics and turned it into a show of American prowess in Salt Lake City Utah but has also transformed Massachusetts from a state ridden with debt to a debt-free state Looking even further back his time spent with Bain Capital saw the corporation become one of the largest pri-vate equity investment firms in the nation
While his problem solving abilities have yet to take a turn at the national level it would seem that these abilities have proven themselves at nearly every crossroads they have encountered Although several
of his personal beliefs may be averse to the current American popular opinion his proven ability to eliminate the precur-sors to stagnation should be intriguing to the economically-ailing American populace
There are millions people who serve a role in deciding who gets the job this November so it is the responsibility of the voter to dig deeper into each applicants resume to decide whom they want to elect Just looking back at the resume Obama gave us four years ago it would seem that it was remarkably indicative of our current standing as a nation

Discrepancy exists between President Barack Obamarsquos resume results

Itrsquos not that I am against campus growth With growth comes bet-ter resources and opportunities What I am against is how we have grown The unnecessary growing pains and strains have associated the idea of ldquogrowthrdquo with nega-tive experiences There is a lack of adequate facilities for our current population Consider ten Hoorrsquos human traffic jam or traffic jams involving cars on campus many of these discomforts could be avoided with proper preparation
Unfortunately the University has made a habit of playing ldquocatch uprdquo with the numbers rather than pre-paring itself for the people it knows are heading its way A new recre-ation center is supposedly on the way but only after our current rec-reation center turned into one big waiting line for treadmills between the hours of 10 am and 7 pm
But accepting the fact that our campus is growing and will continue to grow I am putting my sword back in its scabbard and sav-ing it for a fight for which I have a
chance Last week Guy Bailey the new UA president reaffirmed the continuation of Robert Wittrsquos goal of increasing enrollment Despite many students voicing concern over more masses the increase is inevitable
More people than ever are attending college precipitating an increased enrollment around the country Also this university is seen as a business to many espe-cially those in charge The main goal of a business is to make money
Yet while the pursuit of 36000 stu-dents was Wittrsquos the method of pur-suit is now up to President Bailey While at Texas Tech President Bailey orchestrated record-high enrollment for the school Perhaps it is because of the vast Lubbock backdrop but the increase of popu-lation did not translate into discom-fort at Tech Instead it became syn-onymous with growth of quality
There are many similarities between Bailey and Witt and after all Chancellor Witt is technically still in charge However Baileyrsquos experience at Texas Tech and his background in academia indicate his views on campus growth are
different Assuming as an educa-tor that Bailey will look at The University of Alabama as a place of higher education and not a cash cow waiting to get milked the proj-ect might actually be student-cen-tered
The numbers may be the same but the experience should be dif-ferent It must be different for the University to remain a sought-after educational experience Increasing growth is admirable but if it is done in sloppy fashion the unrest of the masses may overshadow the original desire Proper planning prevents poor performance and the University needs to prepare for the future rather than wait until the future is already trying to move into its new dorm room
Bailey has grown a school before so his experience leads me to believe he knows what he is doing Potentially this period of growth could be a smoother smarter and more comfortable experience than the previous one

Campus growth has potential under BaileyBy Kyle Jones
As I sit here looking out over the Quad I am struck by the relative peace that hangs over the campus Friends of all ages back-grounds faiths and political views walk side-by-side in harmony as they go to class-es and prepare for the future As a fresh-man this is truly an experience unlike any other Sadly it is also an experience that is growing less common in the United States
Currently it feels as if the very course of man history and nature itself is preparing for nothing short of all-out war and chaos In Tampa we see the 2012 Republican National Convention calling for the end of the Obama presidency and a long awaited unity within the nation through its presi-dential candidate Governor Mitt Romney A now tainted hope as the convention draws almost daily attacks Before the convention had even begun members of Occupy Tampa were arrested while pro-testing outside the convention for posing a security risk to the many party officials within the convention
One of the mottos which has always been at the heart of the United States is ldquoE Pluribus Unum (Out of Many One)rdquo However it would seem now that this motto has lost its meaning among the cur-rent leadership The three branches of gov-
ernment no longer recognize themselvesas leaders of one unified nation but ratheras leaders of a liberal nation and a conser-vative nation They then set about poison-ing their own constituency with their ownhatred fear and shameful lack of respectfor their fellow countrymen
The result is that the masses fall intoan accursed state of apathy and malaiseno longer seeking what is best for thenation but rather becoming servants tothe hegemony and bureaucracy of corruptpoliticians on both sides of the aisle Thisensures that those who are in power willremain in power and that the voice of thepeople will be secondary to the voice of thepeoplersquos representatives
Meanwhile while the nation bickersand fights amongst itself the debt of ournation rises and our once proud ldquoEmpireof Libertyrdquo grows weak and fearful Whathas happened to the republic of the people
I look to the day when apathy issacrificed upon the altar of ambition I lookto the day when we will once again be aunited people This day will never comehowever unless the youth of today takeup the cause of true liberty and commonsense

ldquoFifty years ago not every-one went to college mdash if you had a high school diploma you could get a good job but if you had a college degree you automatically got a better onerdquo she said ldquoWith the GI Bill from the rsquo40s and people wanting to dodge the draft of the Vietnam War more people went to col-lege more people got degrees and now itrsquos commonplace to have a bachelorrsquos degree Having a masterrsquos though sets you apart Itrsquos harder more reading longer tests and more specializedrdquo
Di Giulian remains hopeful in her job prospects but notes that the higher-paying jobs come from more specialized degrees
ldquoWith my history degree I could apply for human resource jobs -- or things like that -- and I could probably get themrdquo she said ldquoAnd thatrsquos a real job I donrsquot know about advancement in that field but itrsquos there and something doable But if your
degree is in chemical engineer-ing obviously by just having a bachelorrsquos degree yoursquoll get a better-paying jobrdquo
Ijaz agrees that some college majors will be more successful than others in the job market He believes degrees in engi-neering sciences or business will be less prob-lematic than those in liberal arts due simply to demand
UA senior Jamie House realized these concerns during his undergradu-ate work as an education major with an emphasis in history Believing a bachelorrsquos degree in education was no longer enough to become a teacher he switched his major to history He plans to continue his edu-cation into graduate school in order to make himself a better candidate for future employ-ment
ldquoI think the chances of get-ting a job without a masterrsquos degree these days are slim to nonerdquo he said ldquoEspecially in the education field if I want
to be taken seriously I need a masterrsquos Having a bachelorrsquos is typical Itrsquos commonplace now so you donrsquot stand out in a crowd anymorerdquo
However sophomore adver-tising major Amanda Wallace hopes her personality and work ethic will protect her from the
economic stormldquoI donrsquot think
that itrsquos the school you went to or the degree you have that matters most in a job searchrdquo she said ldquoIrsquod say itrsquos more about who you are and what you have to
offer as far as your field goes mdash not just what you learned sit-ting in the classroomrdquo
Regardless Ijaz stressed the importance of one of the find-ings of the Georgetown study Nearly seven percent of college graduates are unemployed whereas 24 percent of high school diploma holders are
ldquoYou absolutely need a col-lege educationrdquo Ijaz said ldquoThere arenrsquot many jobs left that only require a high school diplomardquo

In this age of e-books and e-commerce achieving your dreams comes one step closer to reality for amateur authorsLauren Alexander a junior majoring in English published her first work ldquoBreathe An Anthologyrdquo onto the Amazon store this past August as an e-book compatible with Kindle devices The 43-story anthology features works up to four pages long most keeping to a page in length According to Alexander her stories are presented in por-traits and monologues on topics ranging from love and heart-break to murder and thought
She recalled her first taste of writing coming via the creation of short picture stories as a child which led to her to writing short stories by the fourth grade
ldquo[The stories] were really ran-domrdquo Alexander said ldquoWhen I was younger they were just kind of something I didrdquo
She specifically remembered a Halloween story written for class in elementary school prompting her mother to play-fully suggest she become an author one day
ldquoIt was kind of one of those dreams you donrsquot think will really happenrdquo Alexander said
Throughout middle school and high school she wrote and wrote sporadically picking away at book ideas and crafting quick random stories Though tied together by reflections on morality and her thoroughly detailed style of writing both of which are still evident in her work the writings and her cre-ative motivations mirrored her own varied experiences growing up in Tuscaloosa
ldquoMy goal with my writing is to try and connect with people and since my writing comes from so many different stages of my life sometimes a story will show what I was going through at the timerdquo Alexander said ldquoWith so many different styles and genres itrsquos easier for some-one to pick one up and connect with itrdquo
While attending Hillcrest High School Alexanderrsquos teach-ers began to take more interest in her writings and brought her to realize that if she could fin-ish a project and send it out she
could actually be publishedHowever it wasnrsquot until this
August that her cache of 43 short stories written during a time span from ninth grade to her sophomore year of college was truly ready to go out into the world
It was Alexanderrsquos high school friend Christian Smitherman now a junior at the University who brought the idea of inde-pendent publication to her Smitherman who had read Alexanderrsquos work in high school suggested via Facebook that she consider self-publishing
through the Amazon Store as an e-book to get her work out
ldquoShersquos able to convey emo-tion and convey feelingsrdquo said Smitherman ldquoIrsquom not much of a poetry or literature personhellip but anything I ever read of hers just leaves me breathlessrdquo
After looking through the publishing process Alexander collected and formatted her works until 200 am on August 22 when she put the collection online She said Smitherman was the first to read her newly collected works
ldquoShe just conveys emo-tions at their rawest levelsrdquo Smitherman said ldquoNow with these new stories Irsquom able to see these other sides of Lauren Irsquove never seen beforerdquo
According to Alexander the response from her supporting family and friends continues to be strong and motivational
but she was surprised to hearpieces of advice from publish-ers and writers through social media avenues
Since her publication Alexander said she hopes to submit her work to Kindle Singles an Amazon venue showcasing selected works by new authors Additionally she expressed her hope of pursu-ing more traditional approach-es to publication while honing her authorial voice through further short story and novel writing
ldquoIt took a while for it to real-ly settle in [that Irsquom published] and sometimes I think to myself lsquoOh itrsquos not a big dealrsquordquo Alexander said ldquoBut in reality getting published has always been my dream and now if one person reads the collection and it affects them the way I want it to it was worth itrdquo

The women of The University of Alabama can be quick to condemn Tuscaloosa as a place completely void of any decent shopping experiences and assume trips to Birminghamrsquos Summit and Galleria are nec-essary monthly events to catch up with the latest trends We may not have a huge number of trendy boutiques but the stores we do have are more than adequate for all of our sartorial game day needs
I decided to share my quest for a game day outfit that could also transition into everyday wear in hopes of helping out a fellow spirited fashion lover
I decided to shop White House Black Market at Midtown Village hoping the name meant I could find pieces featuring the colors associated with the famous Paul ldquoBearrdquo Bryant houndstooth hat The overall aesthetic of the store may seem too matronly for the average college student but on closer evaluation WHBM revealed plenty of classically styled pencil skirts ankle length pants and structured tops that are a must for every girlrsquos closet
Luckily for Alabama fans red was the featured accent color found throughout the store of black and white appar-el This made it easy to find appropriate game day com-binations of red pants with a patterned black and white top or a houndstooth skirt with a red sweater If you are the sort of girl who gives way to com-fort when strutting the game day runway known as the
Quad sidewalk WHBM had an extensive collection of black white and red heels perfect for pairing with pencil skirts and patterned dresses
In addition to the classic pieces found at WHBM I decid-ed to check out the game day trends at two boutiques on the Strip Private Gallery proved ideal for the woman who refuses to wear the red jersey-knit one-shouldered dress that almost every girl on cam-pus wears to the first game PG featured everything from grey brocade-style shorts and sheer crimson button-downs to bright red rompers and hound-stooth pea coats This store is perfect for a more abstract game day look that emphasiz-es current trends rather than typical game day fashions
Sassy Britches also locat-ed on the Strip contained a plethora of game day apparel options much like Private Galleryrsquos and equally as expen-sive I expected with less brand name items SB would be the more economic option of the two but I was surprised SB featured red patterned prints which seem to be the most popular game day look and I found myself loving the hound-stooth print shorts offered at SB - perfect for the rest of the September games
After Saturdayrsquos game I was able to conclude many UA women saved their brand new game day dresses for the more ldquoimportantrdquo home games after seeing the vast amount of football jerseys that Saturdayrsquos female fans adorned If you have not found the perfect out-fit for this season of Crimson
Tide football I suggest you check out local stores before heading to Birmingham Afterall no one knows Tuscaloosa trends better than Tuscaloosa We are number one and we should dress like it

The Alabama volleyball team secured another tour-nament-win this weekend in the Hampton Inn Bama Bash as they dominated in Foster Auditorium dropping only one set all weekend
Outside hitter Kayla Fitterer said the biggest thing that the team can take away from this weekendrsquos play is confidence
Fitterer played in her first home match on Friday night against Austin Peay where she posted her 26th career double double with 18 kills and 12 digs
The senior has taken prac-tice and play on a day-to-day basis as she continues to recover from an off-season foot surgery
ldquoIrsquom back in as much as I
can be right nowrdquo Fitterer said after the tournament-clinching match against East Tennessee State ldquoI took off this morning and yesterday morning to rest but Irsquoll be good now to play in all of the games from hererdquo
Fitterer posted seven kills and seven digs against ETSU
The Tidersquos performance in the Bama Bash landed Sierra Wilson Katherine White and Laura Steiner spots on the all-tournament team with Steiner earning the title of Most Valuable Player
Steiner a freshman outside hitter finished the tournament with a hitting percentage of 358 34 kills over four matches and an average of 340 kills per set played
ldquoI didnrsquot actually know I was playing until right before the game so I just went in there
trying to have a good match to finish the tournament out and I ended up with some kills so that was nicerdquo Steiner said
With a match-high 12 kills versus ETSU Steiner showed her ability to step up even as a freshman
ldquoI think you always have to prepare yourself thinking that you might go in - especially if someone is not performing their best that you might get thrown in thererdquo Steiner said
The tournament gave the Tide many opportunities to see growth in almost every mem-ber of the team
ldquoWersquore getting balanced and wersquore really pleased with Laura Steinerrsquos perfor-mance as a freshman from the outsiderdquo head coach Ed Allen said ldquoShersquos giving us a great deal of consistency and
exploiting the block with her offense Again Sierra Wilson continues to grow as a leader and quarterback of this team She still has a long way to go but shersquos in a better place than she was two weeks agordquo
In the four matches played Wilson posted 157 total assists giving her an average of 121 assists per set
ldquoWe identified several things that we need to work onrdquo Allen said of his teamrsquos overall weekend play ldquoI also thought we had a little bit more con-sistency in most parts of play except for attacking in that last matchrdquo

Crimson Tide wins Hampton Inn tournament VOLLEYBALL
By Marquavius BurnettSports Editor
When a coach is as success-ful as Alabamarsquos Nick Saban has been in recent years cre-ativity is key when trying to motivate a team
Whether it is a rant to the media about not respecting an opponent or getting on to the team for committing a penalty Saban uses every tactic pos-sible to get the Tide prepared week in and week out
If Alabama has a bad prac-tice Saban comes into his media availability and barks at the local reporters for writ-ing negative stories about the Tidersquos opponent He says it is unfair to not give teams like Western Kentucky respect
(even though Alabama was a 40 point favorite) He goes on about how it is not fair to his team or Western Kentucky because of how hard they work to get where they are
But Saban really has a hid-den agenda when he gives the media a scowl The coach knows his team will watch the countless number of videos or hear about him erupting through social media This is how he gets his message across when it is not effective at practice
Saban understands the basic principle of being successful it is human nature to get com-placent He watched it happen in 2010 when a supremely tal-ented Alabama team dropped three very winnable games
The teamrsquos focus has been not succumbing to complacen-cy It is what the coaching staff preaches to the players and what the players regurgitate to the media
So Alabamarsquos lackluster effort in its 35-0 beating of Western Kentucky was expect-ed Even though the Tide is a national power the team still has a tendency to take its foot off the gas and play down to its competition
The offensive line which is being hyped as the best in the country allowed six sacks and multiple quarterback hur-ries The line also struggled to create holes for the running backs as the team was held to 103 rushing yards compared to the 232 against Michigan
ldquoAt least three of the sacks somebody got beat on the edgerdquo Saban said ldquoCouple other times we probably held the ball ndash the last one we held the ball no one was really openrdquo
The scary thing is that Alabamarsquos team is not even close to being a finished prod-uct but it is still one of the three or four best teams in the country (along with USC LSU and Oregon)
If Alabamarsquos secondary continues to develop and the offensive line protects McCarron this team has the potential to repeat The first major test for the Tide will be this Saturday against Arkansas The Razorbacks feature a dynamic offense
lead by quarterback Tyler Wilson If healthy Wilson is an elite passer with a big arm and the ability to make every throw on the field
Arkansasrsquo defense is not elite by SEC standards but it will be considerably bet-ter than Western Kentuckyrsquos which did a pretty good num-ber to Alabamarsquos offensive line
Alabama knows it cannot play the same way in week
three as it did in week two because the Hogs have serious upset potential
But this could all be a set- up Alabama could be waitingfor another quality opponent to embarrass like it did the Wolverines
ldquoItrsquos just a young team being youngrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said of the teamrsquos struggles
For Saban and the local mediarsquos sake letrsquos hope so
For successful coaches creativity necessary when trying to motivate team FOOTBALL | COLUMN

Alabamarsquos McCarron defense shined against WKU
7 | Alabama has forced seven turnovers including four interceptions and three fumbles
35 | Alabamarsquos offense has started fast scoring 35 points in the first quarter compared to 41 in
the other quarters
0 | Alabama has not allowed a single point in the first or fourth quarter this season
8 | Alabamarsquos offensive line has allowed eight sacks for a loss of 69 yards
6 | Quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown six touchdowns after throwing a total of 16 in his first season as a starter
3795 | Alabamarsquos offense has been explosive early this season averaging 3795 yards a game
When AJ McCarron wasnrsquot running for his life the redshirt junior was an efficient 14-of-19 for 219 yards McCarron also tossed four touchdowns hitting his receivers in stride on long passes
The running backs barely totaled more than 100 yards gain-ing 103 To make matters worse no individual runner gained more than 50 yards Eddie Lacy was the leading rusher with 36 yards on nine carries
Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones each caught two touchdowns and made explosive plays in the passing game The Tide receiv-ers stretched the field and showed other oppo-nents that Alabama is much more than a run-ning team
The offensive line struggled in both pass and run blocking situations allowing quarterback AJ McCarron to be sacked six times
Any time a unit pitches a shutout and forces four turnovers it deserves high remarks Alabamarsquos defense was without starters Jesse Williams and Dee Milliner but theydid not allow Western Kentucky any breathing room
The coaching staff implemented an effective game plan to stop the Hilltoppers and the players executed However the team often looked lethargic particularly the offensive line

Di Giulian remains hopeful in her job prospects but notes that the higher-paying jobs come from more specialized degrees
ldquoWith my history degree I could apply for human resource jobs -- or things like that -- and I could probably get themrdquo she said ldquoAnd thatrsquos a real job I donrsquot know about advancement in that field but itrsquos there and something doable But if your
degree is in chemical engineer-ing obviously by just having a bachelorrsquos degree yoursquoll get a better-paying jobrdquo
Ijaz agrees that some college majors will be more successful than others in the job market He believes degrees in engi-neering sciences or business will be less prob-lematic than those in liberal arts due simply to demand
UA senior Jamie House realized these concerns during his undergradu-ate work as an education major with an emphasis in history Believing a bachelorrsquos degree in education was no longer enough to become a teacher he switched his major to history He plans to continue his edu-cation into graduate school in order to make himself a better candidate for future employ-ment
ldquoI think the chances of get-ting a job without a masterrsquos degree these days are slim to nonerdquo he said ldquoEspecially in the education field if I want
to be taken seriously I need a masterrsquos Having a bachelorrsquos is typical Itrsquos commonplace now so you donrsquot stand out in a crowd anymorerdquo
However sophomore adver-tising major Amanda Wallace hopes her personality and work ethic will protect her from the
economic stormldquoI donrsquot think
that itrsquos the school you went to or the degree you have that matters most in a job searchrdquo she said ldquoIrsquod say itrsquos more about who you are and what you have to
offer as far as your field goes mdash not just what you learned sit-ting in the classroomrdquo
Regardless Ijaz stressed the importance of one of the find-ings of the Georgetown study Nearly seven percent of college graduates are unemployed whereas 24 percent of high school diploma holders are
ldquoYou absolutely need a col-lege educationrdquo Ijaz said ldquoThere arenrsquot many jobs left that only require a high school diplomardquo

In this age of e-books and e-commerce achieving your dreams comes one step closer to reality for amateur authorsLauren Alexander a junior majoring in English published her first work ldquoBreathe An Anthologyrdquo onto the Amazon store this past August as an e-book compatible with Kindle devices The 43-story anthology features works up to four pages long most keeping to a page in length According to Alexander her stories are presented in por-traits and monologues on topics ranging from love and heart-break to murder and thought
She recalled her first taste of writing coming via the creation of short picture stories as a child which led to her to writing short stories by the fourth grade
ldquo[The stories] were really ran-domrdquo Alexander said ldquoWhen I was younger they were just kind of something I didrdquo
She specifically remembered a Halloween story written for class in elementary school prompting her mother to play-fully suggest she become an author one day
ldquoIt was kind of one of those dreams you donrsquot think will really happenrdquo Alexander said
Throughout middle school and high school she wrote and wrote sporadically picking away at book ideas and crafting quick random stories Though tied together by reflections on morality and her thoroughly detailed style of writing both of which are still evident in her work the writings and her cre-ative motivations mirrored her own varied experiences growing up in Tuscaloosa
ldquoMy goal with my writing is to try and connect with people and since my writing comes from so many different stages of my life sometimes a story will show what I was going through at the timerdquo Alexander said ldquoWith so many different styles and genres itrsquos easier for some-one to pick one up and connect with itrdquo
While attending Hillcrest High School Alexanderrsquos teach-ers began to take more interest in her writings and brought her to realize that if she could fin-ish a project and send it out she
could actually be publishedHowever it wasnrsquot until this
August that her cache of 43 short stories written during a time span from ninth grade to her sophomore year of college was truly ready to go out into the world
It was Alexanderrsquos high school friend Christian Smitherman now a junior at the University who brought the idea of inde-pendent publication to her Smitherman who had read Alexanderrsquos work in high school suggested via Facebook that she consider self-publishing
through the Amazon Store as an e-book to get her work out
ldquoShersquos able to convey emo-tion and convey feelingsrdquo said Smitherman ldquoIrsquom not much of a poetry or literature personhellip but anything I ever read of hers just leaves me breathlessrdquo
After looking through the publishing process Alexander collected and formatted her works until 200 am on August 22 when she put the collection online She said Smitherman was the first to read her newly collected works
ldquoShe just conveys emo-tions at their rawest levelsrdquo Smitherman said ldquoNow with these new stories Irsquom able to see these other sides of Lauren Irsquove never seen beforerdquo
According to Alexander the response from her supporting family and friends continues to be strong and motivational
but she was surprised to hearpieces of advice from publish-ers and writers through social media avenues
Since her publication Alexander said she hopes to submit her work to Kindle Singles an Amazon venue showcasing selected works by new authors Additionally she expressed her hope of pursu-ing more traditional approach-es to publication while honing her authorial voice through further short story and novel writing
ldquoIt took a while for it to real-ly settle in [that Irsquom published] and sometimes I think to myself lsquoOh itrsquos not a big dealrsquordquo Alexander said ldquoBut in reality getting published has always been my dream and now if one person reads the collection and it affects them the way I want it to it was worth itrdquo

The women of The University of Alabama can be quick to condemn Tuscaloosa as a place completely void of any decent shopping experiences and assume trips to Birminghamrsquos Summit and Galleria are nec-essary monthly events to catch up with the latest trends We may not have a huge number of trendy boutiques but the stores we do have are more than adequate for all of our sartorial game day needs
I decided to share my quest for a game day outfit that could also transition into everyday wear in hopes of helping out a fellow spirited fashion lover
I decided to shop White House Black Market at Midtown Village hoping the name meant I could find pieces featuring the colors associated with the famous Paul ldquoBearrdquo Bryant houndstooth hat The overall aesthetic of the store may seem too matronly for the average college student but on closer evaluation WHBM revealed plenty of classically styled pencil skirts ankle length pants and structured tops that are a must for every girlrsquos closet
Luckily for Alabama fans red was the featured accent color found throughout the store of black and white appar-el This made it easy to find appropriate game day com-binations of red pants with a patterned black and white top or a houndstooth skirt with a red sweater If you are the sort of girl who gives way to com-fort when strutting the game day runway known as the
Quad sidewalk WHBM had an extensive collection of black white and red heels perfect for pairing with pencil skirts and patterned dresses
In addition to the classic pieces found at WHBM I decid-ed to check out the game day trends at two boutiques on the Strip Private Gallery proved ideal for the woman who refuses to wear the red jersey-knit one-shouldered dress that almost every girl on cam-pus wears to the first game PG featured everything from grey brocade-style shorts and sheer crimson button-downs to bright red rompers and hound-stooth pea coats This store is perfect for a more abstract game day look that emphasiz-es current trends rather than typical game day fashions
Sassy Britches also locat-ed on the Strip contained a plethora of game day apparel options much like Private Galleryrsquos and equally as expen-sive I expected with less brand name items SB would be the more economic option of the two but I was surprised SB featured red patterned prints which seem to be the most popular game day look and I found myself loving the hound-stooth print shorts offered at SB - perfect for the rest of the September games
After Saturdayrsquos game I was able to conclude many UA women saved their brand new game day dresses for the more ldquoimportantrdquo home games after seeing the vast amount of football jerseys that Saturdayrsquos female fans adorned If you have not found the perfect out-fit for this season of Crimson
Tide football I suggest you check out local stores before heading to Birmingham Afterall no one knows Tuscaloosa trends better than Tuscaloosa We are number one and we should dress like it

The Alabama volleyball team secured another tour-nament-win this weekend in the Hampton Inn Bama Bash as they dominated in Foster Auditorium dropping only one set all weekend
Outside hitter Kayla Fitterer said the biggest thing that the team can take away from this weekendrsquos play is confidence
Fitterer played in her first home match on Friday night against Austin Peay where she posted her 26th career double double with 18 kills and 12 digs
The senior has taken prac-tice and play on a day-to-day basis as she continues to recover from an off-season foot surgery
ldquoIrsquom back in as much as I
can be right nowrdquo Fitterer said after the tournament-clinching match against East Tennessee State ldquoI took off this morning and yesterday morning to rest but Irsquoll be good now to play in all of the games from hererdquo
Fitterer posted seven kills and seven digs against ETSU
The Tidersquos performance in the Bama Bash landed Sierra Wilson Katherine White and Laura Steiner spots on the all-tournament team with Steiner earning the title of Most Valuable Player
Steiner a freshman outside hitter finished the tournament with a hitting percentage of 358 34 kills over four matches and an average of 340 kills per set played
ldquoI didnrsquot actually know I was playing until right before the game so I just went in there
trying to have a good match to finish the tournament out and I ended up with some kills so that was nicerdquo Steiner said
With a match-high 12 kills versus ETSU Steiner showed her ability to step up even as a freshman
ldquoI think you always have to prepare yourself thinking that you might go in - especially if someone is not performing their best that you might get thrown in thererdquo Steiner said
The tournament gave the Tide many opportunities to see growth in almost every mem-ber of the team
ldquoWersquore getting balanced and wersquore really pleased with Laura Steinerrsquos perfor-mance as a freshman from the outsiderdquo head coach Ed Allen said ldquoShersquos giving us a great deal of consistency and
exploiting the block with her offense Again Sierra Wilson continues to grow as a leader and quarterback of this team She still has a long way to go but shersquos in a better place than she was two weeks agordquo
In the four matches played Wilson posted 157 total assists giving her an average of 121 assists per set
ldquoWe identified several things that we need to work onrdquo Allen said of his teamrsquos overall weekend play ldquoI also thought we had a little bit more con-sistency in most parts of play except for attacking in that last matchrdquo
The 10-1 Tide returns to Foster Auditorium on Tuesday to take on Samford in its last non-conference match before opening up SEC play against LSU
Crimson Tide wins Hampton Inn tournament VOLLEYBALL
By Marquavius BurnettSports Editor
When a coach is as success-ful as Alabamarsquos Nick Saban has been in recent years cre-ativity is key when trying to motivate a team
Whether it is a rant to the media about not respecting an opponent or getting on to the team for committing a penalty Saban uses every tactic pos-sible to get the Tide prepared week in and week out
If Alabama has a bad prac-tice Saban comes into his media availability and barks at the local reporters for writ-ing negative stories about the Tidersquos opponent He says it is unfair to not give teams like Western Kentucky respect
(even though Alabama was a 40 point favorite) He goes on about how it is not fair to his team or Western Kentucky because of how hard they work to get where they are
But Saban really has a hid-den agenda when he gives the media a scowl The coach knows his team will watch the countless number of videos or hear about him erupting through social media This is how he gets his message across when it is not effective at practice
Saban understands the basic principle of being successful it is human nature to get com-placent He watched it happen in 2010 when a supremely tal-ented Alabama team dropped three very winnable games
The teamrsquos focus has been not succumbing to complacen-cy It is what the coaching staff preaches to the players and what the players regurgitate to the media
So Alabamarsquos lackluster effort in its 35-0 beating of Western Kentucky was expect-ed Even though the Tide is a national power the team still has a tendency to take its foot off the gas and play down to its competition
The offensive line which is being hyped as the best in the country allowed six sacks and multiple quarterback hur-ries The line also struggled to create holes for the running backs as the team was held to 103 rushing yards compared to the 232 against Michigan
ldquoAt least three of the sacks somebody got beat on the edgerdquo Saban said ldquoCouple other times we probably held the ball ndash the last one we held the ball no one was really openrdquo
The scary thing is that Alabamarsquos team is not even close to being a finished prod-uct but it is still one of the three or four best teams in the country (along with USC LSU and Oregon)
If Alabamarsquos secondary continues to develop and the offensive line protects McCarron this team has the potential to repeat The first major test for the Tide will be this Saturday against Arkansas The Razorbacks feature a dynamic offense
lead by quarterback Tyler Wilson If healthy Wilson is an elite passer with a big arm and the ability to make every throw on the field
Arkansasrsquo defense is not elite by SEC standards but it will be considerably bet-ter than Western Kentuckyrsquos which did a pretty good num-ber to Alabamarsquos offensive line
Alabama knows it cannot play the same way in week
three as it did in week two because the Hogs have serious upset potential
But this could all be a set- up Alabama could be waitingfor another quality opponent to embarrass like it did the Wolverines
ldquoItrsquos just a young team being youngrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said of the teamrsquos struggles
For Saban and the local mediarsquos sake letrsquos hope so
For successful coaches creativity necessary when trying to motivate team FOOTBALL | COLUMN

Alabamarsquos McCarron defense shined against WKU
7 | Alabama has forced seven turnovers including four interceptions and three fumbles
35 | Alabamarsquos offense has started fast scoring 35 points in the first quarter compared to 41 in
the other quarters
0 | Alabama has not allowed a single point in the first or fourth quarter this season
8 | Alabamarsquos offensive line has allowed eight sacks for a loss of 69 yards
6 | Quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown six touchdowns after throwing a total of 16 in his first season as a starter
3795 | Alabamarsquos offense has been explosive early this season averaging 3795 yards a game
When AJ McCarron wasnrsquot running for his life the redshirt junior was an efficient 14-of-19 for 219 yards McCarron also tossed four touchdowns hitting his receivers in stride on long passes
The running backs barely totaled more than 100 yards gain-ing 103 To make matters worse no individual runner gained more than 50 yards Eddie Lacy was the leading rusher with 36 yards on nine carries
Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones each caught two touchdowns and made explosive plays in the passing game The Tide receiv-ers stretched the field and showed other oppo-nents that Alabama is much more than a run-ning team
The offensive line struggled in both pass and run blocking situations allowing quarterback AJ McCarron to be sacked six times
Any time a unit pitches a shutout and forces four turnovers it deserves high remarks Alabamarsquos defense was without starters Jesse Williams and Dee Milliner but theydid not allow Western Kentucky any breathing room
The coaching staff implemented an effective game plan to stop the Hilltoppers and the players executed However the team often looked lethargic particularly the offensive line

ldquoShe just conveys emo-tions at their rawest levelsrdquo Smitherman said ldquoNow with these new stories Irsquom able to see these other sides of Lauren Irsquove never seen beforerdquo
According to Alexander the response from her supporting family and friends continues to be strong and motivational
but she was surprised to hearpieces of advice from publish-ers and writers through social media avenues
Since her publication Alexander said she hopes to submit her work to Kindle Singles an Amazon venue showcasing selected works by new authors Additionally she expressed her hope of pursu-ing more traditional approach-es to publication while honing her authorial voice through further short story and novel writing
ldquoIt took a while for it to real-ly settle in [that Irsquom published] and sometimes I think to myself lsquoOh itrsquos not a big dealrsquordquo Alexander said ldquoBut in reality getting published has always been my dream and now if one person reads the collection and it affects them the way I want it to it was worth itrdquo
UA junior publishes collection of short stories on AmazonldquoMy goal with my writing is to try and connect with people With so many
different styles and genres itrsquos easier for someone to pick one up and connect with it

The women of The University of Alabama can be quick to condemn Tuscaloosa as a place completely void of any decent shopping experiences and assume trips to Birminghamrsquos Summit and Galleria are nec-essary monthly events to catch up with the latest trends We may not have a huge number of trendy boutiques but the stores we do have are more than adequate for all of our sartorial game day needs
I decided to share my quest for a game day outfit that could also transition into everyday wear in hopes of helping out a fellow spirited fashion lover
I decided to shop White House Black Market at Midtown Village hoping the name meant I could find pieces featuring the colors associated with the famous Paul ldquoBearrdquo Bryant houndstooth hat The overall aesthetic of the store may seem too matronly for the average college student but on closer evaluation WHBM revealed plenty of classically styled pencil skirts ankle length pants and structured tops that are a must for every girlrsquos closet
Luckily for Alabama fans red was the featured accent color found throughout the store of black and white appar-el This made it easy to find appropriate game day com-binations of red pants with a patterned black and white top or a houndstooth skirt with a red sweater If you are the sort of girl who gives way to com-fort when strutting the game day runway known as the
Quad sidewalk WHBM had an extensive collection of black white and red heels perfect for pairing with pencil skirts and patterned dresses
In addition to the classic pieces found at WHBM I decid-ed to check out the game day trends at two boutiques on the Strip Private Gallery proved ideal for the woman who refuses to wear the red jersey-knit one-shouldered dress that almost every girl on cam-pus wears to the first game PG featured everything from grey brocade-style shorts and sheer crimson button-downs to bright red rompers and hound-stooth pea coats This store is perfect for a more abstract game day look that emphasiz-es current trends rather than typical game day fashions
Sassy Britches also locat-ed on the Strip contained a plethora of game day apparel options much like Private Galleryrsquos and equally as expen-sive I expected with less brand name items SB would be the more economic option of the two but I was surprised SB featured red patterned prints which seem to be the most popular game day look and I found myself loving the hound-stooth print shorts offered at SB - perfect for the rest of the September games
After Saturdayrsquos game I was able to conclude many UA women saved their brand new game day dresses for the more ldquoimportantrdquo home games after seeing the vast amount of football jerseys that Saturdayrsquos female fans adorned If you have not found the perfect out-fit for this season of Crimson
Tide football I suggest you check out local stores before heading to Birmingham Afterall no one knows Tuscaloosa trends better than Tuscaloosa We are number one and we should dress like it

The Alabama volleyball team secured another tour-nament-win this weekend in the Hampton Inn Bama Bash as they dominated in Foster Auditorium dropping only one set all weekend
Outside hitter Kayla Fitterer said the biggest thing that the team can take away from this weekendrsquos play is confidence
Fitterer played in her first home match on Friday night against Austin Peay where she posted her 26th career double double with 18 kills and 12 digs
The senior has taken prac-tice and play on a day-to-day basis as she continues to recover from an off-season foot surgery
ldquoIrsquom back in as much as I
can be right nowrdquo Fitterer said after the tournament-clinching match against East Tennessee State ldquoI took off this morning and yesterday morning to rest but Irsquoll be good now to play in all of the games from hererdquo
Fitterer posted seven kills and seven digs against ETSU
The Tidersquos performance in the Bama Bash landed Sierra Wilson Katherine White and Laura Steiner spots on the all-tournament team with Steiner earning the title of Most Valuable Player
Steiner a freshman outside hitter finished the tournament with a hitting percentage of 358 34 kills over four matches and an average of 340 kills per set played
ldquoI didnrsquot actually know I was playing until right before the game so I just went in there
trying to have a good match to finish the tournament out and I ended up with some kills so that was nicerdquo Steiner said
With a match-high 12 kills versus ETSU Steiner showed her ability to step up even as a freshman
ldquoI think you always have to prepare yourself thinking that you might go in - especially if someone is not performing their best that you might get thrown in thererdquo Steiner said
The tournament gave the Tide many opportunities to see growth in almost every mem-ber of the team
ldquoWersquore getting balanced and wersquore really pleased with Laura Steinerrsquos perfor-mance as a freshman from the outsiderdquo head coach Ed Allen said ldquoShersquos giving us a great deal of consistency and
exploiting the block with her offense Again Sierra Wilson continues to grow as a leader and quarterback of this team She still has a long way to go but shersquos in a better place than she was two weeks agordquo
In the four matches played Wilson posted 157 total assists giving her an average of 121 assists per set
ldquoWe identified several things that we need to work onrdquo Allen said of his teamrsquos overall weekend play ldquoI also thought we had a little bit more con-sistency in most parts of play except for attacking in that last matchrdquo
The 10-1 Tide returns to Foster Auditorium on Tuesday to take on Samford in its last non-conference match before opening up SEC play against LSU
Crimson Tide wins Hampton Inn tournament VOLLEYBALL
By Marquavius BurnettSports Editor
When a coach is as success-ful as Alabamarsquos Nick Saban has been in recent years cre-ativity is key when trying to motivate a team
Whether it is a rant to the media about not respecting an opponent or getting on to the team for committing a penalty Saban uses every tactic pos-sible to get the Tide prepared week in and week out
If Alabama has a bad prac-tice Saban comes into his media availability and barks at the local reporters for writ-ing negative stories about the Tidersquos opponent He says it is unfair to not give teams like Western Kentucky respect
(even though Alabama was a 40 point favorite) He goes on about how it is not fair to his team or Western Kentucky because of how hard they work to get where they are
But Saban really has a hid-den agenda when he gives the media a scowl The coach knows his team will watch the countless number of videos or hear about him erupting through social media This is how he gets his message across when it is not effective at practice
Saban understands the basic principle of being successful it is human nature to get com-placent He watched it happen in 2010 when a supremely tal-ented Alabama team dropped three very winnable games
The teamrsquos focus has been not succumbing to complacen-cy It is what the coaching staff preaches to the players and what the players regurgitate to the media
So Alabamarsquos lackluster effort in its 35-0 beating of Western Kentucky was expect-ed Even though the Tide is a national power the team still has a tendency to take its foot off the gas and play down to its competition
The offensive line which is being hyped as the best in the country allowed six sacks and multiple quarterback hur-ries The line also struggled to create holes for the running backs as the team was held to 103 rushing yards compared to the 232 against Michigan
ldquoAt least three of the sacks somebody got beat on the edgerdquo Saban said ldquoCouple other times we probably held the ball ndash the last one we held the ball no one was really openrdquo
The scary thing is that Alabamarsquos team is not even close to being a finished prod-uct but it is still one of the three or four best teams in the country (along with USC LSU and Oregon)
If Alabamarsquos secondary continues to develop and the offensive line protects McCarron this team has the potential to repeat The first major test for the Tide will be this Saturday against Arkansas The Razorbacks feature a dynamic offense
lead by quarterback Tyler Wilson If healthy Wilson is an elite passer with a big arm and the ability to make every throw on the field
Arkansasrsquo defense is not elite by SEC standards but it will be considerably bet-ter than Western Kentuckyrsquos which did a pretty good num-ber to Alabamarsquos offensive line
Alabama knows it cannot play the same way in week
three as it did in week two because the Hogs have serious upset potential
But this could all be a set- up Alabama could be waitingfor another quality opponent to embarrass like it did the Wolverines
ldquoItrsquos just a young team being youngrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said of the teamrsquos struggles
For Saban and the local mediarsquos sake letrsquos hope so
For successful coaches creativity necessary when trying to motivate team FOOTBALL | COLUMN

7 | Alabama has forced seven turnovers including four interceptions and three fumbles
35 | Alabamarsquos offense has started fast scoring 35 points in the first quarter compared to 41 in
the other quarters
0 | Alabama has not allowed a single point in the first or fourth quarter this season
8 | Alabamarsquos offensive line has allowed eight sacks for a loss of 69 yards
6 | Quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown six touchdowns after throwing a total of 16 in his first season as a starter
3795 | Alabamarsquos offense has been explosive early this season averaging 3795 yards a game
When AJ McCarron wasnrsquot running for his life the redshirt junior was an efficient 14-of-19 for 219 yards McCarron also tossed four touchdowns hitting his receivers in stride on long passes
The running backs barely totaled more than 100 yards gain-ing 103 To make matters worse no individual runner gained more than 50 yards Eddie Lacy was the leading rusher with 36 yards on nine carries
Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones each caught two touchdowns and made explosive plays in the passing game The Tide receiv-ers stretched the field and showed other oppo-nents that Alabama is much more than a run-ning team
The offensive line struggled in both pass and run blocking situations allowing quarterback AJ McCarron to be sacked six times
Any time a unit pitches a shutout and forces four turnovers it deserves high remarks Alabamarsquos defense was without starters Jesse Williams and Dee Milliner but theydid not allow Western Kentucky any breathing room
The coaching staff implemented an effective game plan to stop the Hilltoppers and the players executed However the team often looked lethargic particularly the offensive line

BY THE NUMBERSPOSITION GRADES
Alabamarsquos McCarron defense shined against WKU
7 | Alabama has forced seven turnovers including four interceptions and three fumbles
35 | Alabamarsquos offense has started fast scoring 35 points in the first quarter compared to 41 in
the other quarters
0 | Alabama has not allowed a single point in the first or fourth quarter this season
8 | Alabamarsquos offensive line has allowed eight sacks for a loss of 69 yards
6 | Quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown six touchdowns after throwing a total of 16 in his first season as a starter
3795 | Alabamarsquos offense has been explosive early this season averaging 3795 yards a game
When AJ McCarron wasnrsquot running for his life the redshirt junior was an efficient 14-of-19 for 219 yards McCarron also tossed four touchdowns hitting his receivers in stride on long passes
The running backs barely totaled more than 100 yards gain-ing 103 To make matters worse no individual runner gained more than 50 yards Eddie Lacy was the leading rusher with 36 yards on nine carries
Kevin Norwood and Christion Jones each caught two touchdowns and made explosive plays in the passing game The Tide receiv-ers stretched the field and showed other oppo-nents that Alabama is much more than a run-ning team
The offensive line struggled in both pass and run blocking situations allowing quarterback AJ McCarron to be sacked six times
Any time a unit pitches a shutout and forces four turnovers it deserves high remarks Alabamarsquos defense was without starters Jesse Williams and Dee Milliner but theydid not allow Western Kentucky any breathing room
The coaching staff implemented an effective game plan to stop the Hilltoppers and the players executed However the team often looked lethargic particularly the offensive line
