Graduates Degree worth debtNEWS | STUDENT DEBT

University of Alabama graduate Chris Izor took out direct stu-

dent loans in order to gradu-ate with an English degree and nearly $31000 in debt that he hopes to pay off within the next 10 years Although he has a payment plan Izor joins many students in wondering how the debt will ever go away

For Izor the process started with a job with A+ College Ready a statewide nonprofit

that develops and supports Advanced Placement courses in math science and English Although he considers himself fortunate to have a job that pays well and allows him to make payments on his student debt Izor does not attribute his job to his major

ldquoMy English degree didnrsquot help me get my job and it doesnrsquot help me with my email communication or ability to plan a study sessionrdquo Izor said

ldquoBut the fact that I worked and got a degree shows that I have the wherewithal to operate in the professional world By the end of 2009 it didnrsquot matter what degree you were gradu-ating with you were going to struggle financially so you might as well study something you love before you enter the workforce doing something you donrsquot loverdquo

According to a recent study done by The New York Times

Izor is not alone in having sig-nificant student debt to pay off after his graduation The report states that the average debt accumulated over four years by a University of Alabama stu-dent in 2010 was $26701

Dean J Michael Hardin of the College of Commerce and Business Administration recently wrote about the stu-dent debt crisis and its com-parisons to the real estate bubble

Hardin said in the real estate crisis there was over-buying and over-lending ndash even preda-tory lending ndash but educators donrsquot bear resemblance to the culprits of the real estate crisis

ldquoColleges are like the build-ers of the housesrdquo Hardin said ldquoI donrsquot remember the builder being sanctioned It was the lendersrdquo

Hardin said there may be more to consider than money

ldquoLife may be a lot more than

simply economicsrdquo he said ldquoCollege offers the hope of a sincere and dedicated edu-cational experience Itrsquos life changing Whatrsquos the [return on investment] of piano les-sons A pure focus on econom-ic ROI misses what the college investment can provide How do you put a price tag on gain-ing an appreciation for Miltonrsquos Paradise Lostrdquo

Nolan 39 was beginning his third year with the College this fall and instructed ldquoIdeology and

the Cinemardquo and ldquoCinema of the Seventies Hope to Horrorrdquo

ldquoWill Nolan was an outstand-ing young faculty member who inspired his students encour-aged their creativity and had tremendous potential for the futurerdquo Deborah Lane assistant vice president for University Relations said ldquoHe was a valued member of the UA family and he will be missed Our hearts go out to his family and friends in this tragic lossrdquo

Authorities from Winchester Tenn think Nolan was electro-cuted as a result of faulty wiring on a boat dock The dock was live with electricity when investiga-tors reported to the scene An autopsy is planned

Nolan is survived by a wife newborn son and University of Alabama students he left a last-ing mark on during his time at the Capstone

On Nolanrsquos first day teaching at the University two years ago

he welcomed freshman Rachel Croon into his ldquoAnimals in Film and Literaturerdquo class It was her first class on campus

ldquoHis was the first class I walked into my freshmen year Not knowing anyone I walked in and he was such a great teacher that he engaged his students within secondsrdquo she said ldquoHe was one of those teachers that didnrsquot have to pry to get his stu-dents to talk Hersquod say one thing and everyone wanted to talk to

get his attention and show they wanted to be there Everyone loved being there If anyone was born to teach it was him No one missed his classrdquo

Croon a student from Chesterfield Mo said there was no one who could make a fresh-man feel at home like Nolan Even after she completed his class she relied on Nolan as a mentor and academic advisor

When freshman soc-cer midfielder Merel Van Dongen wakes up in the morning she begins her day by speaking in Dutch Itrsquos not because she means to but because after years of living in the Netherlands itrsquos just a habit for the Amsterdam native she canrsquot help herself

ldquoI really have to open my eyes and see where I am because I forget Irsquom in Americardquo Van Dongen

said ldquoI always tell my roommates when I start speaking Dutch donrsquot worry about it Just tell me Irsquom in America and that I canrsquot speak Dutch and then Irsquoll talk in English and translate what I just saidrdquo

Seven time zones and 4542 miles away from home college life in America has been an interesting adjust-ment for the 19-year-old freshman standout Small things such as the food people eat in the dining halls astound her She said she is stunned by why everyone seems to eat bacon and peanut butter with everything

ldquoI got really close to him hersquos the reason I switched my majorrdquo she said ldquoI came in as a psychology major and he was noticed I was into the speech that people use rather than the ideas they use He pointed it out to me and I switched from psychology to speech

pathology because of himrdquoCroon wanted to bookend

her time at UA with Nolanrsquos classes planning on taking her last honors credit with him next semester

ldquoHe was my first Honors professor and I wanted to end with himrdquo she said ldquoThere was no one who could make you feel at home like him Irsquom just going to remember how welcome he made me feel at The University of Alabama

As a faculty advisor for the

Honors College Assembly Nolanrsquos impact at the University stretched well beyond the classroom Austen Parrish former vice president of HCA worked with Nolan to start an on-campus documen-tary film series Even though it was not a part of his job Nolan dedicated his time and energy to starting the film series because it was his pas-sion and he wanted to share his passions with his students

In the time Parrish knew

Nolan he learned to dedicate himself to the things he loves and to share what you love with the people you love

ldquoAt the end of the day Will was just somebody that understood life ndash he was only ever in it to do what he loves the best that he can and to affect the lives of those around him in a positive wayrdquo Parrish said ldquoIf there is anything we should take from Willrsquos passing is that all he really cared about is [that]

we appreciate him for who he was we take care of his fam-ily that he loved deeply and we remember him as a guy that liked good film and cool sweatersrdquo

Jacqueline Morgan asso-ciate dean of the Honors College invites former stu-dents and friends to email her with stories and memo-ries of Nolan The messages will be put together and given to Nolanrsquos wife and son to remember him by

Death of professor leaves void in college

Hardin called for a number of measures to battle the stu-dent debt crisis and make col-lege more affordable and UA students more competitive including workplace educa-tion college mentoring mul-tiple faster paths to advanced degrees and public discourse

Alex Austin graduated from the University with a degree in journalism in May 2012 Austin is after interest $28000 dollars in debt from his education He favors a college system like some in Europe with more govern-ment funding of education as well as structural changes

ldquoThe liberal arts system needs to dierdquo he said ldquoThe reason college takes four years is because you have to take all these classes that you donrsquot need and are unnec-essary in the long run In Europe you get a bachelorrsquos [degree] in three years They teach the liberal arts in high schoolrdquo

Austin said college educa-tion should come at no cost to students

ldquoIt is the job of the educa-tion system to help the next generation grow and suc-ceedrdquo he said ldquoThis cannot happen when you have gradu-ates who are forced to live with their parents because after paying off some of their debt each month they donrsquot have enough money to afford their own apartmentrdquo

Austin partly blames the economy but says it will even-tually get better and should not take all of the blame

ldquoWhat is apparently not going to change is that college is going to get more and more expensiverdquo he said ldquoThis sys-tem cannot be allowed to go on like this because if it does it will collapse the countryrsquos entire infrastructure from the top downrdquo

Leonard Zumpano profes-sor of finance attributed the rise in student debt to rising tuition

ldquoTherersquos no question about cause and effectrdquo he said also

stating rises in tuition and stu-dent debt are closely linked ldquoHow long can this continuerdquo

When asked about the stu-dent debt crisis and its com-parison to the real estate bubble Zumpano said the two werenrsquot analogous but there were some similarities

ldquoDoes that imply that itrsquos going to burstrdquo he said ldquoAnybody who thinks they can tell you that is probably nutsrdquo

He said the shortage of skilled tradespeople com-bined with other educational options such as technical schools and community col-leges could lure some stu-dents away from larger uni-versities

As competition for post-graduation jobs increases Zumpano said so does the need to distinguish yourself as a student

Ideally students would gain skills that enable them to communicate effectively from attending a college that pro-vides a traditional liberal arts education

ldquoIf money werenrsquot an object Irsquod [say] get a liberal arts edu-cation and then you special-izerdquo Zumpano said ldquoThatrsquod be nice but itrsquos not so much an option nowrdquo

Structural changes in the institution of universities also remain potential players in the developing situation he said

ldquoUniversities are expanding and incurring debtrdquo he said ldquoIf the [number of] students arenrsquot increasing itrsquos going to be a problemrdquo

Zumpano said the rate of increasing tuition costs has exceeded the rate of inflation

ldquoThe housing boom bubbled and burstrdquo he said ldquoI donrsquot know if [the student debt cri-sis] will burst God I hope notrdquo

Despite his debt Izor said college was ultimately worth the investment

ldquoTake on debt if you need to but realize college is not something that comes before liferdquo Izor said ldquoYou can work for your own money control your own decisions and start making plans for your life long before you get graduation emailsrdquo

ldquoThere are some opportuni-ties to really really connect with the organizationsrdquo Wolfe said

Wolfe said she believes the best part about the Community Arts Conversations event is the easy access it gives the commu-nity to the arts organizations of Tuscaloosa

ldquoItrsquos great for if yoursquore inter-ested in seeing under one roof all of the different organiza-tions and how to get an idea of what their schedules are in terms of performances what they do here in the community and a chance to see one-on-one the executive directors of those organizations and the people and volunteers who are active in those groupsrdquo she said

While the event is geared toward the general public Wolfe said she believes Community Arts Conversations is a great opportunity for students who are interested in the art culture

in TuscaloosaldquoThe nice thing about this

is sometimes with the com-munity arts with our different arts organizations itrsquos hard for students coming in to have a one-stop shop for the commu-nity artsrdquo Wolfe said ldquoItrsquos an opportunity to connect under one roof with the arts in the community they are living inrdquo

The University of Alabama is expected to have a large pres-ence at the event as well The University of Alabama Press Department of Theatre and Dance Creative Campus and the School of Music are all scheduled to be in attendance Campus Arts Coordinator for Creative Campus Alexis Clark said Community Arts Conversations reminds her of an art-specific Get On Board Day

ldquoThe event really is like a Get on Board Day for arts organizations in the com-munityrdquo she said ldquoSimilarly Creative Campus will man a table and we will have info in regards to our upcoming projects It really is a great opportunity to engage with the

community at largerdquoClark said Community Arts

Conversations is a great pro-gram not only because of its access to the general commu-nity but also because of the format in which the event is organized Groups are able to display all they have to offer at once and answer any questions the community may have for them

ldquoThe nice thing about it is that itrsquos short and sweetrdquo she said ldquoIt gives arts organiza-tions an opportunity to put their calendars out there to offer ticket discounts Itrsquos really beneficial for the community to come out and really get infor-mation in a concise way If they had any questions about who the composers or the perform-ers were they could come and ask the representatives face-to-facerdquo

C o m m u n i t y A r t s Conversations is free to the public For more informa-tion on Community Arts Conversations and similar events visit tuscartsorg or call The Arts Council of Tuscaloosa at (205) 758-5195

Van Dongen is also still get-ting used to the attention col-lege sports receive at Alabama Back in the Netherlands sports and college are completely separate entities athletes play soccer for a club team and then study for work in college So it amazes her how much atten-tion and interest random stu-dents have in the womenrsquos soc-cer team

ldquoMy friends back home didnrsquot even know what I was doing on the soccer field while my friends here are interested and know what is happen-ing with the teamrdquo she said ldquoPeople from history class are asking how the games go because they recognize you as an athlete and they actually keep track and care how you dordquo

And for good reason peo-ple are taking notice of Van Dongen and the womenrsquos soc-

cer team At 7-3-2 the Crimson Tide is off to one of the best starts in school history The Tide is coming off of a week-end when the team came back from a two goal deficit to tie Vanderbilt and followed that up by upsetting Kentucky in Lexington a team they lost to 4-1 last year in Tuscaloosa Van Dongen has been a major part of the teamrsquos success at times arguably the best player on the field for Alabama

ldquoShe brings so much heart on the fieldrdquo sophomore team-mate Theresa Diederich said ldquoShe is always working so hard screaming everything and always trying to get everyone fired up Her playing in the cen-ter of the field is a huge part for us because she brings so much motivation and energy that really helps us outrdquo

Looking into her athletic background itrsquos no surprise she has been so successful this year Along with being the cap-tain for the womenrsquos U-19 Dutch national soccer team she was also a skilled point guard that was offered the chance to play

for the Dutch national basket-ball team along with soccer a decision that she said was one of the hardest she has ever had to make

She also has a strong ath-letic family pedigree as both her older sister and twin sister play for Dutch national teams Her older sister played for the national basketball team and currently plays for the national rugby team and her twin sis-ter played for the U-18 national basketball team Van Dongen always loved playing with her sisters

ldquoWersquove always been really competitive and we always will berdquo she said ldquoItrsquos probably a good idea we chose other sports because if we were each otherrsquos competition and had to com-pete it could have been really bad for our relationshipsrdquo

Van Dongen still has a long way to go in her soccer career at Alabama one she hopes will one day help kick start her international soccer career But until then she will con-tinue to be a key player for the womenrsquos soccer team

Bama Dining offers gluten-free meat-free and peanut-free options in their dining halls as part of their commitment to serve the dietary needs of the increase in students with food allergies

However Shelby Brooks a junior majoring in chemi-cal engineering still finds it a challenge to decide what is safe for her to eat at Bama Dining locations

ldquoChick-fil-A is not an option for me which is usually the most popular choice in the food courtrdquo Brooks said

Brooks said she is severely allergic to peanuts and related products including peanut oil and flour and lima beans which are challenging to avoid when eating at the dining halls

ldquoI always have to make sure that the oil that is used is not peanut oilrdquo she said ldquoAlso most of the time I canrsquot eat the desserts because I am not sure if they contain peanuts or were made on the same equipment as peanutsrdquo

When students enter the din-ing locations there are signs that display a Food Allergy Policy statement at each entrance suggesting that any student with a food allergy

should meet with Bama Dining location managers to help them determine what is safe to consume

Brooks feels Bama Dining offers a wealth of options in their dining halls and food courts and has noticed an improvement in student awareness However she wishes the signs were more specific

ldquoThere are plenty of options available but I usually find a peanut-free favorite and stick with thatrdquo she said

Bama Dining Services believes good nutrition is essential to good health To help assist stu-dents in supplying their bodies with the essentials for a healthy

diet Kelsey Faust marketing manager for Bama Dining has come up with initiatives to meet the needs of a gluten-free pea-nut-free or meat-free diet

ldquoWe offer gluten-free meals at all meal plan locations upon request made with gluten-free pizza dough bread and pastardquo Faust said ldquoThere is also a des-ignated vegetarian station at each meal plan location with informational signs in the food court Stewartrsquos Corner and other retail locations highlight-ing the vegetarian amp healthy options at each food conceptrdquo

Bama Dining offers organic vegan and gluten-free to-go meals as well as ingredients and

snacks sold at Juliarsquos Market in Tutwiler Hall and Lakeside Market including Albertrsquos Organics Grab N Go meals

For vegetarians Bama Dining offers a weekly vegetarian email that allows students to opt-in to receive a weekly email listing all the vegetarian menu items in the meal plan locations for the current week Students faculty and staff can go to bamadiningcom to sign up for the emails

Ann Elizabeth Sovereign a sophomore majoring in philoso-phy said the weekly vegetarian email helps keep her up-to-date with all the menu items

ldquoAt first I thought it was going

to be miserable as a vegetar-ian to try and find a variety of foods to eat but with the email I am able to locate current menu itemsrdquo Sovereign said

For healthy recipes tips and facts students should follow Just4UA on Twitter Each Month the Just4UA initiative focuses on a specific nutritional topic such as weight loss snack tips daily recipes carbohy-drates and nutrition

ldquoThis Twitter feed was actual-ly highlighted by Menrsquos Fitness Magazine as one of the reasons for The University of Alabama to be ranked 10th as the fittest colleges in the United Statesrdquo Faust said

Berger has contributed to PR on an international level work-ing in Brussels and Belgium as a public affairs manager He lead PR efforts in Europe Africa and

the Middle East Berger said his selection

for this award is a part of a recent series of successes at the University that strengthens the school as a whole

ldquoAny number of faculty here are receiving awards at a fairly regular rate and theyrsquore not just local awards theyrsquore national awardsrdquo Berger said ldquoWe have a lot of students and a lot of fac-ulty who do fantastic work and the recognition of all those things over time really contribute to the reputation that we have and are earningrdquo

Megan Brantley a graduate student pursuing her masterrsquos degree in advertising and public relations had Berger during her senior year of undergraduate studies at the University Brantley credited Bergerrsquos success to his impressive teaching skills

ldquoI had a lot of great profes-sors during my undergrad at UA but Dr Berger may be the most genuine professor Irsquove ever hadrdquo Brantley said ldquoNot only does he prepare students to thrive in

the professional sphere but he takes an interest in students as human beingsrdquo

Beyond his professional research and work in PR Berger has worked extensively in the noprofit sector specifically work-ing to eliminate illiteracy Berger and 22 of his graduate students founded Literacy is the Edge in 2008 to combat adult illiteracy in West Alabama Through his work with LITE Berger became involved with the Literacy Council of West Alabama and currently serves on its board of directors Kitty Wheeler executive director of the Literacy Council believes Bergerrsquos success in the commu-nity lies with his leadership abili-ties

The University of Alabamarsquos signature well-ness program WellBAMA is designed to allow faculty and staff to improve the quality of their lives

ldquoThe Office of Health Promotion and Wellness is relatively new and its pur-pose is to address issues related to UA employees and their covered benefi-ciaries on our health insur-ance planrdquo said Margaret Garner the director of the Department of Health Promotion amp Wellness at the Student Health Center ldquoWellBAMA is the health appraisal program designed to detect early evidence of health risk and provide resources to address them among other benefitsrdquo

Every year WellBAMA presents numerous pro-grams and rewards to get faculty and staff members to come into the Office

of Health Promotion amp Wellness to become more aware about their health conditions

Carolyn MacVicar office associate at Health Promotion and Wellness on UArsquos campus familiarized benefits that are new to WellBAMA this year

ldquoBenefit eligible fac-ulty and staff are able to participate in an annual WellBAMA health screen-ing and health coaching eventrdquo MacVicar said ldquoIn 2012 participants will receive $25 for participat-ing in a WellBAMA health screening For 2013 benefit-eligible faculty and staff can receive up to $200 based on their club statusrdquo

Although faculty staff and students all have their own separate outlets to receive health benefits WellBAMA promotes sev-eral programs that are designed to target employ-ees and is not intended for UA students due to the

availability of facilities and programs already in place to help them stay healthy like the Student Health Center and its initiatives The program isnrsquot com-pletely exclusive though

ldquoOur office offers the Crimson Couch to 5K a program that gets you from the couch to walking or run-ning a 5K in nine weeksrdquo MacVicar said ldquoThe train-ing program is for faculty and staff but the event is open to everyone including studentsrdquo

The 30-Day Tobacco Free Challenge is also a program promoted by WellBAMA that is free and open to fac-ulty staff and students

ldquoThey are providing a healthier atmosphere and encouraging health and wellness for a more productive healthier campusrdquo MacVicar said ldquoWhen employees are hap-pier and healthier they are more productive and miss less workrdquo

All of my friends recently seem to have gotten into those health apps that are out there now You know the ones where you type in what yoursquove eaten that day and it tells you how many calories yoursquove taken in Irsquove always con-sidered them as telling you more about how bad to feel about your-self and your eating habits but Irsquom beginning to wonder if theyrsquore on to something

Recent findings show that Alabama has the fourth-highest rate of adult obesity in the coun-try As a result many K-12 schools are trying to promote healthier eating and better options in their cafeterias But has that way of thinking translated into our lives here at the University

Between classes grab a snack from the vending machines For lunch head to one of our food courts and eat a bit of Chik-Fil-A In the afternoon meet up with some friends to catch up over Starbucks We are surrounded by temptations all day every day and itrsquos so easy to eat fast food instead of real meals when itrsquos readily available

Especially as a southern school we center our lives and social events around food Instead of just hanging out with friends we go out to eat On game days we have tailgates filled with barbe-cue and every side item imagin-able And what student on UArsquos campus could survive without late-nighting at Quick Grill or Hungry Howiersquos

In many of the dining halls there are calorie and fat counts posted next to each food item so that we can measure our intake in that the University is putting a focus on healthy eating But right next to that are the king-sized candy bars you find at every cash register (yes king-sized Take a look next time)

The problem of healthy eating choices on campus isnrsquot straight-forward After all is it really the Universityrsquos duty to make sure that wersquore choosing the right things to eat Wersquore all adults here so we should in theory have moved past being forced to eat our vegetables But when given the choice between quickly get-ting a pre-made slice of pizza and waiting in line to pay $900 to get inside Fresh Foods Irsquom going to go with the former Unhealthy

foods are increasingly prevalent while simultaneously there seems to be a greater call for healthy liv-ing Our age group wants to be healthier for the most part but the question is how do we do it

Therersquos no easy answer We hear all about eating right and exercising itrsquos not that we donrsquot know but that we donrsquot do On the Universityrsquos behalf they need to focus on providing easy healthy choices and more advertising about healthy living

But on our part we need to

actually pay attention to the Health Hut the posted nutrition information and the resources at the Rec You donrsquot necessar-ily have to count every calorie on your phone to be healthy Rather we should to team up the University and its students to become healthier and provide an example for the rest of the state

My generation has known nothing but war

Wersquove grown up expecting to see updated body counts in the newspapers every day for over a decade Who was killed today Where was he from Declaring war and committing troops to faraway places has become part of the presidentrsquos job descrip-tion it seems

It wasnrsquot always this way But lately how much has US foreign policy really changed from one administration to the next

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney would like you to think that this election is pivotal in shaping the future of America Unfortunately when it comes to foreign policy itrsquos hard to dis-tinguish between the two can-didates And they both have it wrong

A lot of statistics have been thrown around this campaign season Romneyrsquos ldquo47 percentrdquo Occupy Wall Streetrsquos ldquo99 per-centrdquo unemployment above eight percent But the most important number ndash which no one is talking about ndash is that 6500 Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 6500

Each US casualty is not just another stat like GDP or unem-ployment ndash it is an unquantifi-able instance of immense human suffering It is a ruined home a family destroyed a father or daughter lost

Therefore if given a choice between a president who would instantly end this annual mas-sacre of thousands of humans versus a president who might be able to raise GDP by three

percent in eight years who would you choose Yes the econ-omy and health care are impor-tant issues but votersrsquo highest priority should be ending these lethal costly and unwinnable wars What could possibly be more important

Ron Paul was the only seri-ous presidential candidate in recent memory who understood that these war-mongering ten-dencies could spell doom for the American empire Dr Paul understood that US foreign policy since World War II has been tragically flawed and that misguided interventionism is the greatest incentive to expand the already bloated federal govern-ment (almost $1400 billion of tax-payer money has been spent on Iraq and Afghanistan)

What if the US had used that money not to kill but to improve the human race in some way What if our government spent as much time teaching citizens about geography history com-munication and diplomacy as we currently spend training soldiers how to slaughter other humans

Ron Paul understood that ter-rorism is largely a result of the USrsquos repeated over-extension in the Middle East Terrorists donrsquot attack us because we are free and rich and Christian but because we routinely set off bombs in their backyards and kill their family members Even soldiers recognized this earlier in the campaign Paul outstripped all Republican candidates combined in donations from active duty personnel

We must view our foreign policy mistakes with a more reasonable per-spective we must ask ourselves ldquoWhat if

someone else was doing this to usrdquo We must humanize these people Who is the real enemy the Iraqi civilians who yearn only to be left alone or the Washington fear-mongers who spend your hard-earned money on frivolous killing sprees

Although bullies like Palestine Iran and Pakistan undeniably fear strength and toughness they decry the bloodthirsty American notion of strength through oppression Since World War II every ldquowarrdquo the US has fought has inflicted mas-sive civilian casualties murder is indeed the nature of modern warfare Predictably current US strategy in the Middle East goes something like this commit thousands of troops overthrow the government kill civilians and then hope to stop a handful of radical terrorists in a cave from plotting to bring d o w n t h e West

C a l l it the ldquoWar on T e r r o r rdquo ldquoOperation I r a q i F r e e d o m rdquo or whatever Really this is just

government-sponsored and taxpay-er-funded mass murder To most of the world we are the terrorists

But the wars in the Middle East have slipped silently into our national subconscious Itrsquos back-ground noise We are left with two candidates who differ only on the exact number of dollars and lives to be spent before we make our inevi-table dishonorable exit from the Middle East

Ron Paul threw us a life-pre-server in these tragically deep waters And congrats America ndash yoursquove turned away Yoursquove thrown the best presidential candidate in my lifetime off the ballot Yoursquove chosen to continue sinking in debt and drowning in the blood of your countrymen

After reading an article in the New York Times entitled ldquoLast Call for College Barsrdquo I was struck by the closing gap in the differences between British and American night life

Courtney Rubin the journal-ist who had clearly devoted a good few nights to sitting in col-lege bars at Cornell University watching student after student slurp on fish-bowl cocktails and pitchers of dripping beer prob-ably partaking in some form of method writing herself claims that many college bars are going out of business

She comes to the conclusion that social networking and mobile phones have replaced the college bar as an essential meeting place Gone are the days when we had to commit to plans and remember faces and names if we wanted to enjoy the luxury of a social life Now we have begun to spin a web of contacts both real and virtual from the comfort of our own rooms But this isnrsquot the only factor

With college bars closing at two or three at the very latest and students becoming more and more inclined to pre-drink elsewhere until later it simply isnrsquot sustainable for bars to

close this early We are arriv-ing at a cultural crossroads taking a left would mean a slow decay of bar culture and the rise of late night drinking within the realms of campus housing a right would mean a new late night and early morning face to bars around campus as they keep their lights on for a few more hours

Student are creatures of the night For two years I lived a nocturnal life flying through

the streets of Glasgow until the night intersected with the day at a floating and indistinct

angle Morning flooded the skies and by seven or eight I had usu-ally managed to succumb to my own bed The British drink-ing culture embraces the dark hours This means that by

the time I reach a bar or club it is never before midnight

Stereotypes aside laziness is a common denominator for stu-dents almost everywhere and I

put this factor down to my own late night starts but because clubs are open until five or six in England tardiness is accom-modated Here itrsquos a little more difficult I find myself having shorter Fridays and Saturdays dictated by the small piece of cardboard on the door of bars displaying their opening hours

In Tuscaloosa this policy-does not affect the student population so much as the business of the bars them-selves because with a campus of thirty thousand young peo-ple therersquos always some night owls to play with But surely longer opening hours would be an economically beneficial

decision for their owners and would encourage steady drink-ing rather than rushing out to drink quickly before closing time or deciding to stay in which seems to be the current choices for students Itrsquos worth consideration

That said there is still a thriving bar culture here and even if it has to be before mid-night for now Irsquom happy to con-sider the matter further over abeer

Several weeks ago I pointed out the merits of the Affordable Care Act and suggested health care is a natural right I argued our nation should level the playing field for those who cannot afford health care and give them a means to find insurance through a system of cost-sharing by mandating everyone buy insurance given a reasonable price By rewriting the rules of the insurance market the ACA has done that Yet the majority of students campus-wide disagree with the legitimacy of the ACA on ideological grounds

In no other nation has health care fueled such an ideological divide Wersquove been bred in America the land of individualism the home of capitalism What people hear is that the government will force everyone to buy insurance therefore disrupting the free market and distorting competition in health care This affront toward the Affordable Care Act is based in speculation and has little basis in the real world No industrialized educated country today exists where health care operates in a purely free market

If health care is an ordinary commodity then it should be purchased according to the market price without government interference In this case wersquore potentially asking patients to compete in the free market to barter for insurers to pay for their medication and treatment This is ldquocompetitionrdquo in the traditional sense

The cost of health is priceless I was ill for a long time Irsquod pay anything to ensure I donrsquot revert back to that state Needless to say capitalism will take advantage of that fact You will find few insurance companies who want to ensure the sick Moreover pharmaceutical companies find it easy to charge any price for life-saving medication When it comes to true illness and disease the patient has little choice in the matter The doctor prescribes The patientrsquos insurer buys

Is the government really to blame in this provid-er-patient-insurer exchange The price of specific treatment and medication is not fixed but rather fluctuating and agreed upon If two women were to deliver a child at the same hospital with the exact same treatment bed and procedure they each would receive separate bills with separate prices In the background each patientrsquos insurer agrees upon a different price with the hospital In other words because the patient is insulated from the purchase a traditional free market cannot exist and govern-ment regulation is necessary to protect the patient

We can point many fingers about the cost con-tainment issue Many argue patients have no incentive to seek lower cost options because their insurance or the government foots the bill In many circumstances the patient cannot meaningfully access ldquogoodrdquo health care He or she is prescribed a treatment or hospitalized ndash take it or leave it When it comes to life and death health care cannot be approached as a commodity that forces patients to shop for insurers and treatments

As most other educated nations have real-ized an element of shared responsibility which pools responsibility becomes the only practical approach to health care Letrsquos look at the situation in Massachusetts a state thatrsquos already implemented its version of the individual mandate Massachusetts has seen emergency room visits decline by 5ndash8 as a result of their version of the individual mandate A 2010 study by the nonpartisan Urban Institute stated 981 of state residents held insurance after the bill

Western European nations Japan Singapore and others guarantee their citizens equal access to health care wersquore now beginning to see that guaran-tee sprout in the States

The Affordable Care Act appears to address many of the problems with the health care industry today It is a bill centered in compromise repeal-ing it would set us back a long ways To guarantee health care for all while simultaneously controlling cost we must implement innovative experimental regulated reform that moves past ideology as many other industrialized nations have already done

For many students fall break is an opportunity to go home for the first time dur-ing the school year or stay in Tuscaloosa and get ahead on schoolwork and studies Some students however use this opportunity to give back travel and try things that time constraints may usually keep them from doing

For students interested in spending time giving back the Community Service Center offers an Alternative Break for students Alternative Break is an opportunity for students to go to another community and engage in intensive service said Wahnee Sherman direc-tor of the Community Service Center

ldquoAlternative Break is a great way for students to give back to another community wheth-er in our state in the region or internationallyrdquo Sherman said ldquoStudents can spend their time off from classes in a pro-ductive way engaging in mean-ingful servicerdquo

The trip aims to inform stu-dents of issues other communi-ties face providing a broader

view of community serviceldquoThe Community Service

Center has a large amount of community service opportuni-ties for UA students that can connect them to Tuscaloosardquo Libby Loveless student direc-tor of Alternative Break said ldquoWe also believe that students should experience other com-munities and cultures outside of Tuscaloosa We facilitate these learning and service experiences so that students can get a taste of other places especially the social issues that are prevalent in the locationsrdquo

The Community Service Center expects about 20 stu-dents to participate in the fall Alternative Break which will take place in Huntsville Ala

ldquoWe hope these students will build strong relationships with each other learn more about other communities in Alabama and make a differ-ence in the communities we work inrdquo Sherman said

For other students fall break means a chance to catch up on schoolwork and catch a breath during the semester

LaJoya Reed a sophomore majoring in public relations said shersquos going to use her fall break to prepare for the end of

the semesterldquoIrsquoll be catching up on work

and sleeping inrdquo Reed said ldquoI need to prepare myself for the coming weeksrdquo

Others are taking the rare break to relax and spend time doing things that students donrsquot always have time for with such busy schedules

Malcolm Harper a junior majoring in biology said he plans to spend his time relax-ing

ldquoIrsquom going to a pajama party and wersquore going to watch Netflixrdquo he said

For some students fall break

means adventures for which there would otherwise not be time

Erin Smith a sophomore majoring in history will be going to the beach during fall break and then skydiving on the way home something she and her friends have all want-ed to check off their to-do list

ldquoMy friends and I wanted to try something adventur-ous and itrsquos something wersquove all always wanted to dordquo Smith said ldquoTherersquos a place in Cullman that offers student and group discounts that wersquoll be able to take advantage ofrdquo

The Honors College Assembly has brought back its ldquoHCA Talksrdquo sessions for students interested in learn-ing about and discussing top-ics they may not be offered inthe classroom

HCA Talks is a program dedicated to giving all students on campus an opportunity to explore their interests even if the interest is not related to studentrsquos classes Students who attend the session are able to hear a lecture and have a conversation with the professor and other students who attend

Austin Lafferty HCA execu-tive vice president and founder of HCA Talks said he thinks students should have a way to intelligently discuss top-ics of their choice and explore what interests them no mat-ter what their field of study is He described the talks as giving students an opportu-nity to branch out of their own field or to get even deeper into something that theyrsquore already studying

ldquoSay yoursquore a biology major and all you are ever really tak-ing are biology classesrdquo said Lafferty a senior majoring in philosophy ldquoIf we have a [HCA Talk] on whether or not higher education is a right or a privi-lege that might be a topic you may be interested in but do not necessarily get in your classesrdquo

Lafferty credits his inspi-ration to begin HCA Talks to videos from TedTalks a web-site with videos of experts from around the world giving presentations on atypical top-ics they are passionate about After watching the videos Lafferty decided to bring some-thing similar to campus

ldquoI thought lsquoyou know thatrsquos really interestingrsquordquo he said

From there HCA Talks began

ldquoWhen I started I looked for university professors that were both knowledgeable and

passionate about somethingthat the students would findinterestingrdquo Lafferty saidldquoSomething interesting orsomething controversial within[the professorrsquos] field of studyrdquo

Since then the HCA Talkshave continued with discus-sions that have been receivedenthusiastically by both thestudents and professors

ldquoThe professors contactus with something theyrsquoreinterested inrdquo Lafferty saidldquoWe make sure it is some-thing the professors are reallyenthusiastic aboutrdquo

This year Molly Olmsteaddirector of academic engage-ment for HCA is in charge oforganizing the sessions forHCA Talks There has alreadybeen one session this semesterldquoHuman Computationrdquo pre-sented by Jeff Gray an asso-ciate professor in the depart-ment of computer science

Robert Cayaban the assis-tant director of academicengagement for HCA helpswith the HCA Talks and saidhe believes it is useful toall students

ldquoI think HCA Talks is a greatway for students to foster dis-cussion and connect infor-mally with faculty and peersin an engaging and warmingatmosphererdquo Cayaban said ajunior double majoring in civilengineering and new college ldquoIhope that more students wouldtake this opportunity to engagein scholarly discussion outsidethe classroomrdquo

Lessons branch out with lsquoTalksrsquo

In addition to free group exercise classes the University Recreation Center also offers a variety of paid classes that pro-vide students with access to dif-ferent machines and more indi-vidual attention from trainers One of these classes is Pilates Reformer

Unlike traditional mat Pilates Pilates Reformer uses a machine to add resistance Reformer instructor Jamie Lambert who also teaches mat Pilates and water aerobics com-pares the workout to a combina-tion of mat Pilates and weight training The spring-loaded Reformer machine offers resis-tance that provides a full-body workout that differs from the bodily-generated resistance used in mat Pilates

ldquoYou get more strength training versus the mat Pilates online Unless you incorporate straps or bands or rings [in mat Pilates] your body is doing its own work [In Reformer] we can isolate a certain muscle while still letting the whole body workrdquo Lambert said

Lambert teaches classes to a variety of age groups and says the workout is something peo-ple of most ability levels can do She also said the Reformer class has the therapeutic benefit of preventing future injury and

relieving existing painldquoI enjoy teaching [Reformer]

to college students because I know Irsquom giving them an exer-cise thatrsquos only going to benefit them in the futurerdquo Lambert said ldquoWith my community population they might have aches and pains coming in and I may get a phone call that says lsquoI havenrsquot had to take an ibuprofen in over a weekrsquordquo

Though the Pilates Reformer class is not free the rate for the class at the Rec is still lower than it would be in a typical gym Instead of charging $20 to $40 per class for individuals the typical rate for a Reformer class the cost is $15 per class for students and $20 for non-students The Rec also offers a group rate of $45 per class for groups of three to six people The cost is divided amongst the group so the cost could be as low as $750 per class

Students can get a taste of the Reformer class with the free introductory class provided by the Rec Commitment to the class is on a month to month basis so participants can opt out of the class if they are not satisfied

Paid classes like Reformer tend to be smaller than free classes giving participants more individual attention from the trainer and the trainer the ability to cater to individual needs

ldquo[In a large class] I canrsquot walk around and stare at all 30 people In here each machine has its own springs so I can put one [person] on heavier springs while another might be on lighter springsrdquo Lambert said ldquoYoursquore able to get an exer-cise completely specific to your bodyrdquo

Sarah Lecher a junior major-ing in communication stud-ies has been taking Pilates Reformer for almost two years She began taking mat Pilates classes with Lambert and after a free introductory Reformer class became hooked on the workout

ldquoI really love Pilates in gen-eral but [Reformer is] a lot dif-ferent because yoursquore using springs for resistance versus your own body You can do certain exercises like going

overhead that you wouldnrsquot be able to do with your own bodyrdquo Lecher said ldquo[Reformer] is a lot more addictive [than mat] Pilates and you see results fast-errdquo

Despite the benefits of the paid classes the cost and com-mitment keeps some students from participating Hannah Vander Maas a junior major-ing in history and economics regularly attends the free mat Pilates class offered by the Rec She said the free classes suit her needs enough not to need paid classes

ldquoI wouldnrsquot [take a paid class] because the free classes are at a convenient time and theyrsquore never fullrdquo Vander Maas said

Minimalism in art terms is the purging of all expression from a piece and a focus on the process and concept of design In essence it is the antithesis of Abstract Expressionism a movement accurately described by its name In fashion terms minimalism is similar but the focus is placed on the simplistic and modernist appearance of the clothes

For example a color palette of all white or all black would be minimalist in nature Pieces with sharp tailored lines or pieces with neutral color blocking would also qualify as minimalist

Now Irsquom not here to lecture you on art history or tell you to walk outside in a solid color pal-ette Yoursquore in college have fun with your clothes and express yourself but also experiment Walking around in a crisp black ensemble is not only chic but it will make more than a few heads turn ndash in a good way The outfit based on a highly regarded art movement makes you look intel-ligent and widely read

Jil Sanderrsquos spring 2013 collec-tion was based on the concept of minimalism Fashion colum-nists speculate as to the sudden purging of the linersquos expres-sive nature Many believe that Sander who took an eight-year hiatus from her company was reclaiming the creative vision of her label and effectively eradi-cating the designs of Raf Simons ldquoReset to zerordquo was even the first line in the showrsquos program

Sanderrsquos Minimalist theme was done with an all white color palette and masculine forms

Her skirts were cut severely and although pastel polka dots were included in some of the pieces the overall collection remained very basic and very clean

As to how this can apply to someone at the University with-out the budget for a Jil Sanderrsquos piece itrsquos simpler than you think Like I said color-blocking neu-trals is a perfect way to achieve minimalism in your look navy black white grey ndash all of these colors are ideal Steer away from ornate designs or patterns busy prints and glitzy accessories

If this sounds slightly appeal-ing conceptually but boring in reality no worries Your mini-malist look can be more personal with the inclusion of a bold state-ment piece Grab a primary blue bag to make your black outfit pop ndash black and primary blue is one of my favorite combinations Or add a soft chocolate-colored knee-high boot to your colored blocked attire Adding these pieces reduce the severity of your minimalist look and allow you to retain your personality and fun

I know a minimalist look isnrsquot for everyone and Irsquom not trying to make you look like a stuffy businesswoman who needs to get out of her high-rise office That being said sometimes an outfit looks more complete if therersquos a cognitive thought behind why it was put together

If you want to try this mini-malist approach to style but donrsquot know where to begin start simple with the advice of the late Coco Chanel ldquoBefore leaving the house a lady should stop look in the mirror and remove one piece of jewelryrdquo

lsquoCharadersquo an example of intense old-fashioned fi lmBy Dana Woodruff

They say things get better with age and when it comes to good old-fashioned films I could not agree more In fact one of the most exhilarating thrilling and unexpected mov-ies I have ever seen was made in the early 1960s Even with-out all of the flashy special effects of modern cinematog-raphy this action flick remains one of the best of its kind

Hailing from an era of classic Hollywood glamour ldquoCharaderdquo is an upbeat whodunit-slash-romantic-comedy ndash an interest-ing mix of intense gunfights and mysterious murders inter-spersed with flirty witty ban-ter between a chic heroine and a seductively sly male lead Starring the fabulous Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant ldquoCharaderdquo begins with a mur-der and ends with a love story

The sinister plot is quickly introduced with a dead man being pushed from a train with-out any explanation then after a series of psychedelic opening credits the scenery switches

to the beautiful mountains of a French ski resort where Regina ldquoReggierdquo Lampert (Hepburn) is vacationing with a friend It is here that she first meets the ever-charming Peter Joshua (Grant) with whom she flirts for a bit before returning home

Upon entering her apart-ment Reggie is horrified to discover that her mysterious husband Charles and all of their belongings are gone with-out a trace The police inform her that Charles had sold everything for a very costly sum only to turn up dead by the train tracks the next day We now know that the body thrown off the train at the beginning of the movie was in fact Reggiersquos late husband There is no sign of the money but the police give Reggie what

was left behind by the man she thought she knew several passports a ticket for a boat bound for South America and a letter he had written for her

Things only get stranger when three intimidating fig-ures show up at Charlesrsquo funeral each taking a turn to walk up to the casket and ver-ify that Charles is dead From this point on the plot thick-ens and then escalates out of control as the three men begin harassing Reggie about where the missing money might be As you might have predicted Peter Joshua comes to the res-cue protecting her from these wicked men and their greedy intentions Like any common love story there is a damsel in distress and a good man to save her But is Peter Joshua really a good man Or is he just

another villain waiting for an opportunity to snag the cash and run

Just as a precautionary disclaimer ldquoCharaderdquo has so many plot twists yoursquore likely to feel the effects of whiplash I however found this to be the most impressive part I had a preconceived notion that all old films are predictable with lame humor and lacking any legitimate action scenes After watching this movie I realized just how astronomically wrong I had been in assuming this

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the extreme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits and nervous jitters I found myself trying to gauge the charactersrsquo intentions as good or evil and realized that it was impos-sible By the end of the movie I didnrsquot trust a single one of them When it all fell into place at the end I was shocked but satisfied because there was no way anyone could have predict-ed the dramatic conclusion of such a cinematic masterpiece

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the ex-treme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits

Injured DeAndrew White Dee Hart out for the season

By Alexis PaineStaff Reporter

Concrete and Asphalt Thatrsquos what meets the eye of passers-by when they look at The University of Alabama track facility Itrsquos no longer covered with red rub-ber pellets as it had been since the 1970s Therersquos no grass on the infield as work trucks litter the sight The track team has no home

Hopefully that will all end in November when the University unveils a brand new track and

field facility As a member of the team who will have access to the complex Irsquom not sure how long I will be able to contain my excite-ment It may be strange to think that a venue where I will spend hours a day sweating stressing and sometimes even breaking down is the cause of so much ela-tion But thatrsquos what Irsquom ready for Irsquom ready to lay everything I have out on a brand new track each and every day in order to reach goals I have set for myself Pushing through pain and putting my heart into every sprint jump and

medicine ball circuit is why I go to practice I know my team-mates feel the same

Over the past two years I have seen the track program grow through various changes I was nervous when an entirely new coaching staff moved into the coliseum They were intimidat-ing but the whole team knew it was a positive change There was a new attitude a new work ethic and a new plan

But one of the most excit-ing things was head coach Dan Watersrsquo announcement that

the team will have a brand new state-of-the-art track and field complex It wonrsquot just be your stereotypical rubber surface that sat under the hot Alabama sun for over 40 years The Sam Bailey Track and Field Complex will be outfitted with a Mondo surface Mondo is known for its speed and some of the fastest tracks around the world are made of this materi-al including the track within the London Olympic Stadium which hosted three world records in this summerrsquos games

Every time we hear we will be

competing on a Mondo track we know that we have the opportu-nity to move faster around the track or down the runway So of course itrsquos exciting that we will be able to train on this sur-face every day Wersquore hoping for faster times higher jumps and farther throws As a team we are ready to progress this year with the help of the new facility

The athletic department has shown a commitment to its ath-letes on the track and field team with this construction and the addition of new coaches The

department recognized that the team was struggling and put in an enormous effort to bring the team up to the standard set by a long history of champions at the Capstone This endeavor has allowed me to realize what I want to achieve on the track and I have been given every opportunity to do so

ldquoI got really close to him hersquos the reason I switched my majorrdquo she said ldquoI came in as a psychology major and he was noticed I was into the speech that people use rather than the ideas they use He pointed it out to me and I switched from psychology to speech

pathology because of himrdquoCroon wanted to bookend

her time at UA with Nolanrsquos classes planning on taking her last honors credit with him next semester

ldquoHe was my first Honors professor and I wanted to end with himrdquo she said ldquoThere was no one who could make you feel at home like him Irsquom just going to remember how welcome he made me feel at The University of Alabama

As a faculty advisor for the

Honors College Assembly Nolanrsquos impact at the University stretched well beyond the classroom Austen Parrish former vice president of HCA worked with Nolan to start an on-campus documen-tary film series Even though it was not a part of his job Nolan dedicated his time and energy to starting the film series because it was his pas-sion and he wanted to share his passions with his students

In the time Parrish knew

Nolan he learned to dedicate himself to the things he loves and to share what you love with the people you love

ldquoAt the end of the day Will was just somebody that understood life ndash he was only ever in it to do what he loves the best that he can and to affect the lives of those around him in a positive wayrdquo Parrish said ldquoIf there is anything we should take from Willrsquos passing is that all he really cared about is [that]

we appreciate him for who he was we take care of his fam-ily that he loved deeply and we remember him as a guy that liked good film and cool sweatersrdquo

Jacqueline Morgan asso-ciate dean of the Honors College invites former stu-dents and friends to email her with stories and memo-ries of Nolan The messages will be put together and given to Nolanrsquos wife and son to remember him by

Death of professor leaves void in college

Hardin called for a number of measures to battle the stu-dent debt crisis and make col-lege more affordable and UA students more competitive including workplace educa-tion college mentoring mul-tiple faster paths to advanced degrees and public discourse

Alex Austin graduated from the University with a degree in journalism in May 2012 Austin is after interest $28000 dollars in debt from his education He favors a college system like some in Europe with more govern-ment funding of education as well as structural changes

ldquoThe liberal arts system needs to dierdquo he said ldquoThe reason college takes four years is because you have to take all these classes that you donrsquot need and are unnec-essary in the long run In Europe you get a bachelorrsquos [degree] in three years They teach the liberal arts in high schoolrdquo

Austin said college educa-tion should come at no cost to students

ldquoIt is the job of the educa-tion system to help the next generation grow and suc-ceedrdquo he said ldquoThis cannot happen when you have gradu-ates who are forced to live with their parents because after paying off some of their debt each month they donrsquot have enough money to afford their own apartmentrdquo

Austin partly blames the economy but says it will even-tually get better and should not take all of the blame

ldquoWhat is apparently not going to change is that college is going to get more and more expensiverdquo he said ldquoThis sys-tem cannot be allowed to go on like this because if it does it will collapse the countryrsquos entire infrastructure from the top downrdquo

Leonard Zumpano profes-sor of finance attributed the rise in student debt to rising tuition

ldquoTherersquos no question about cause and effectrdquo he said also

stating rises in tuition and stu-dent debt are closely linked ldquoHow long can this continuerdquo

When asked about the stu-dent debt crisis and its com-parison to the real estate bubble Zumpano said the two werenrsquot analogous but there were some similarities

ldquoDoes that imply that itrsquos going to burstrdquo he said ldquoAnybody who thinks they can tell you that is probably nutsrdquo

He said the shortage of skilled tradespeople com-bined with other educational options such as technical schools and community col-leges could lure some stu-dents away from larger uni-versities

As competition for post-graduation jobs increases Zumpano said so does the need to distinguish yourself as a student

Ideally students would gain skills that enable them to communicate effectively from attending a college that pro-vides a traditional liberal arts education

ldquoIf money werenrsquot an object Irsquod [say] get a liberal arts edu-cation and then you special-izerdquo Zumpano said ldquoThatrsquod be nice but itrsquos not so much an option nowrdquo

Structural changes in the institution of universities also remain potential players in the developing situation he said

ldquoUniversities are expanding and incurring debtrdquo he said ldquoIf the [number of] students arenrsquot increasing itrsquos going to be a problemrdquo

Zumpano said the rate of increasing tuition costs has exceeded the rate of inflation

ldquoThe housing boom bubbled and burstrdquo he said ldquoI donrsquot know if [the student debt cri-sis] will burst God I hope notrdquo

Despite his debt Izor said college was ultimately worth the investment

ldquoTake on debt if you need to but realize college is not something that comes before liferdquo Izor said ldquoYou can work for your own money control your own decisions and start making plans for your life long before you get graduation emailsrdquo

ldquoThere are some opportuni-ties to really really connect with the organizationsrdquo Wolfe said

Wolfe said she believes the best part about the Community Arts Conversations event is the easy access it gives the commu-nity to the arts organizations of Tuscaloosa

ldquoItrsquos great for if yoursquore inter-ested in seeing under one roof all of the different organiza-tions and how to get an idea of what their schedules are in terms of performances what they do here in the community and a chance to see one-on-one the executive directors of those organizations and the people and volunteers who are active in those groupsrdquo she said

While the event is geared toward the general public Wolfe said she believes Community Arts Conversations is a great opportunity for students who are interested in the art culture

in TuscaloosaldquoThe nice thing about this

is sometimes with the com-munity arts with our different arts organizations itrsquos hard for students coming in to have a one-stop shop for the commu-nity artsrdquo Wolfe said ldquoItrsquos an opportunity to connect under one roof with the arts in the community they are living inrdquo

The University of Alabama is expected to have a large pres-ence at the event as well The University of Alabama Press Department of Theatre and Dance Creative Campus and the School of Music are all scheduled to be in attendance Campus Arts Coordinator for Creative Campus Alexis Clark said Community Arts Conversations reminds her of an art-specific Get On Board Day

ldquoThe event really is like a Get on Board Day for arts organizations in the com-munityrdquo she said ldquoSimilarly Creative Campus will man a table and we will have info in regards to our upcoming projects It really is a great opportunity to engage with the

community at largerdquoClark said Community Arts

Conversations is a great pro-gram not only because of its access to the general commu-nity but also because of the format in which the event is organized Groups are able to display all they have to offer at once and answer any questions the community may have for them

ldquoThe nice thing about it is that itrsquos short and sweetrdquo she said ldquoIt gives arts organiza-tions an opportunity to put their calendars out there to offer ticket discounts Itrsquos really beneficial for the community to come out and really get infor-mation in a concise way If they had any questions about who the composers or the perform-ers were they could come and ask the representatives face-to-facerdquo

C o m m u n i t y A r t s Conversations is free to the public For more informa-tion on Community Arts Conversations and similar events visit tuscartsorg or call The Arts Council of Tuscaloosa at (205) 758-5195

Van Dongen is also still get-ting used to the attention col-lege sports receive at Alabama Back in the Netherlands sports and college are completely separate entities athletes play soccer for a club team and then study for work in college So it amazes her how much atten-tion and interest random stu-dents have in the womenrsquos soc-cer team

ldquoMy friends back home didnrsquot even know what I was doing on the soccer field while my friends here are interested and know what is happen-ing with the teamrdquo she said ldquoPeople from history class are asking how the games go because they recognize you as an athlete and they actually keep track and care how you dordquo

And for good reason peo-ple are taking notice of Van Dongen and the womenrsquos soc-

cer team At 7-3-2 the Crimson Tide is off to one of the best starts in school history The Tide is coming off of a week-end when the team came back from a two goal deficit to tie Vanderbilt and followed that up by upsetting Kentucky in Lexington a team they lost to 4-1 last year in Tuscaloosa Van Dongen has been a major part of the teamrsquos success at times arguably the best player on the field for Alabama

ldquoShe brings so much heart on the fieldrdquo sophomore team-mate Theresa Diederich said ldquoShe is always working so hard screaming everything and always trying to get everyone fired up Her playing in the cen-ter of the field is a huge part for us because she brings so much motivation and energy that really helps us outrdquo

Looking into her athletic background itrsquos no surprise she has been so successful this year Along with being the cap-tain for the womenrsquos U-19 Dutch national soccer team she was also a skilled point guard that was offered the chance to play

for the Dutch national basket-ball team along with soccer a decision that she said was one of the hardest she has ever had to make

She also has a strong ath-letic family pedigree as both her older sister and twin sister play for Dutch national teams Her older sister played for the national basketball team and currently plays for the national rugby team and her twin sis-ter played for the U-18 national basketball team Van Dongen always loved playing with her sisters

ldquoWersquove always been really competitive and we always will berdquo she said ldquoItrsquos probably a good idea we chose other sports because if we were each otherrsquos competition and had to com-pete it could have been really bad for our relationshipsrdquo

Van Dongen still has a long way to go in her soccer career at Alabama one she hopes will one day help kick start her international soccer career But until then she will con-tinue to be a key player for the womenrsquos soccer team

Bama Dining offers gluten-free meat-free and peanut-free options in their dining halls as part of their commitment to serve the dietary needs of the increase in students with food allergies

However Shelby Brooks a junior majoring in chemi-cal engineering still finds it a challenge to decide what is safe for her to eat at Bama Dining locations

ldquoChick-fil-A is not an option for me which is usually the most popular choice in the food courtrdquo Brooks said

Brooks said she is severely allergic to peanuts and related products including peanut oil and flour and lima beans which are challenging to avoid when eating at the dining halls

ldquoI always have to make sure that the oil that is used is not peanut oilrdquo she said ldquoAlso most of the time I canrsquot eat the desserts because I am not sure if they contain peanuts or were made on the same equipment as peanutsrdquo

When students enter the din-ing locations there are signs that display a Food Allergy Policy statement at each entrance suggesting that any student with a food allergy

should meet with Bama Dining location managers to help them determine what is safe to consume

Brooks feels Bama Dining offers a wealth of options in their dining halls and food courts and has noticed an improvement in student awareness However she wishes the signs were more specific

ldquoThere are plenty of options available but I usually find a peanut-free favorite and stick with thatrdquo she said

Bama Dining Services believes good nutrition is essential to good health To help assist stu-dents in supplying their bodies with the essentials for a healthy

diet Kelsey Faust marketing manager for Bama Dining has come up with initiatives to meet the needs of a gluten-free pea-nut-free or meat-free diet

ldquoWe offer gluten-free meals at all meal plan locations upon request made with gluten-free pizza dough bread and pastardquo Faust said ldquoThere is also a des-ignated vegetarian station at each meal plan location with informational signs in the food court Stewartrsquos Corner and other retail locations highlight-ing the vegetarian amp healthy options at each food conceptrdquo

Bama Dining offers organic vegan and gluten-free to-go meals as well as ingredients and

snacks sold at Juliarsquos Market in Tutwiler Hall and Lakeside Market including Albertrsquos Organics Grab N Go meals

For vegetarians Bama Dining offers a weekly vegetarian email that allows students to opt-in to receive a weekly email listing all the vegetarian menu items in the meal plan locations for the current week Students faculty and staff can go to bamadiningcom to sign up for the emails

Ann Elizabeth Sovereign a sophomore majoring in philoso-phy said the weekly vegetarian email helps keep her up-to-date with all the menu items

ldquoAt first I thought it was going

to be miserable as a vegetar-ian to try and find a variety of foods to eat but with the email I am able to locate current menu itemsrdquo Sovereign said

For healthy recipes tips and facts students should follow Just4UA on Twitter Each Month the Just4UA initiative focuses on a specific nutritional topic such as weight loss snack tips daily recipes carbohy-drates and nutrition

ldquoThis Twitter feed was actual-ly highlighted by Menrsquos Fitness Magazine as one of the reasons for The University of Alabama to be ranked 10th as the fittest colleges in the United Statesrdquo Faust said

Bruce Berger professor of advertising and public relations will fly to New York City on Nov 8 to receive the Pathfinder Award for significant contributions to public relations research

The Institute for Public Relations selected Berger for this annual award for his leadership in the PR industry and his innova-tive research in employee commu-nications Berger attributes his success to his effective communi-cation skills and enthusiasm

ldquoI feel like Irsquove been success-ful in public relations because of my good strong writing skillsrdquo Berger said ldquoI never took a PR course in my career My wife and I were broke so I took a job as a speechwriter It was something that I grew to love and it played to some of my strengthsrdquo

Berger has contributed to PR on an international level work-ing in Brussels and Belgium as a public affairs manager He lead PR efforts in Europe Africa and

the Middle East Berger said his selection

for this award is a part of a recent series of successes at the University that strengthens the school as a whole

ldquoAny number of faculty here are receiving awards at a fairly regular rate and theyrsquore not just local awards theyrsquore national awardsrdquo Berger said ldquoWe have a lot of students and a lot of fac-ulty who do fantastic work and the recognition of all those things over time really contribute to the reputation that we have and are earningrdquo

Megan Brantley a graduate student pursuing her masterrsquos degree in advertising and public relations had Berger during her senior year of undergraduate studies at the University Brantley credited Bergerrsquos success to his impressive teaching skills

ldquoI had a lot of great profes-sors during my undergrad at UA but Dr Berger may be the most genuine professor Irsquove ever hadrdquo Brantley said ldquoNot only does he prepare students to thrive in

the professional sphere but he takes an interest in students as human beingsrdquo

Beyond his professional research and work in PR Berger has worked extensively in the noprofit sector specifically work-ing to eliminate illiteracy Berger and 22 of his graduate students founded Literacy is the Edge in 2008 to combat adult illiteracy in West Alabama Through his work with LITE Berger became involved with the Literacy Council of West Alabama and currently serves on its board of directors Kitty Wheeler executive director of the Literacy Council believes Bergerrsquos success in the commu-nity lies with his leadership abili-ties

ldquoHe gets things done he vol-unteers and if hersquos asked to do anything he follows throughrdquo Wheeler said ldquoStarting LITE is going to have a ripple effect and all of these graduate stu-dents under his leadership will move on from UA and hopefully spread his work in literacy wherever they end uprdquo

The University of Alabamarsquos signature well-ness program WellBAMA is designed to allow faculty and staff to improve the quality of their lives

ldquoThe Office of Health Promotion and Wellness is relatively new and its pur-pose is to address issues related to UA employees and their covered benefi-ciaries on our health insur-ance planrdquo said Margaret Garner the director of the Department of Health Promotion amp Wellness at the Student Health Center ldquoWellBAMA is the health appraisal program designed to detect early evidence of health risk and provide resources to address them among other benefitsrdquo

Every year WellBAMA presents numerous pro-grams and rewards to get faculty and staff members to come into the Office

of Health Promotion amp Wellness to become more aware about their health conditions

Carolyn MacVicar office associate at Health Promotion and Wellness on UArsquos campus familiarized benefits that are new to WellBAMA this year

ldquoBenefit eligible fac-ulty and staff are able to participate in an annual WellBAMA health screen-ing and health coaching eventrdquo MacVicar said ldquoIn 2012 participants will receive $25 for participat-ing in a WellBAMA health screening For 2013 benefit-eligible faculty and staff can receive up to $200 based on their club statusrdquo

Although faculty staff and students all have their own separate outlets to receive health benefits WellBAMA promotes sev-eral programs that are designed to target employ-ees and is not intended for UA students due to the

availability of facilities and programs already in place to help them stay healthy like the Student Health Center and its initiatives The program isnrsquot com-pletely exclusive though

ldquoOur office offers the Crimson Couch to 5K a program that gets you from the couch to walking or run-ning a 5K in nine weeksrdquo MacVicar said ldquoThe train-ing program is for faculty and staff but the event is open to everyone including studentsrdquo

The 30-Day Tobacco Free Challenge is also a program promoted by WellBAMA that is free and open to fac-ulty staff and students

ldquoThey are providing a healthier atmosphere and encouraging health and wellness for a more productive healthier campusrdquo MacVicar said ldquoWhen employees are hap-pier and healthier they are more productive and miss less workrdquo

All of my friends recently seem to have gotten into those health apps that are out there now You know the ones where you type in what yoursquove eaten that day and it tells you how many calories yoursquove taken in Irsquove always con-sidered them as telling you more about how bad to feel about your-self and your eating habits but Irsquom beginning to wonder if theyrsquore on to something

Recent findings show that Alabama has the fourth-highest rate of adult obesity in the coun-try As a result many K-12 schools are trying to promote healthier eating and better options in their cafeterias But has that way of thinking translated into our lives here at the University

Between classes grab a snack from the vending machines For lunch head to one of our food courts and eat a bit of Chik-Fil-A In the afternoon meet up with some friends to catch up over Starbucks We are surrounded by temptations all day every day and itrsquos so easy to eat fast food instead of real meals when itrsquos readily available

Especially as a southern school we center our lives and social events around food Instead of just hanging out with friends we go out to eat On game days we have tailgates filled with barbe-cue and every side item imagin-able And what student on UArsquos campus could survive without late-nighting at Quick Grill or Hungry Howiersquos

In many of the dining halls there are calorie and fat counts posted next to each food item so that we can measure our intake in that the University is putting a focus on healthy eating But right next to that are the king-sized candy bars you find at every cash register (yes king-sized Take a look next time)

The problem of healthy eating choices on campus isnrsquot straight-forward After all is it really the Universityrsquos duty to make sure that wersquore choosing the right things to eat Wersquore all adults here so we should in theory have moved past being forced to eat our vegetables But when given the choice between quickly get-ting a pre-made slice of pizza and waiting in line to pay $900 to get inside Fresh Foods Irsquom going to go with the former Unhealthy

foods are increasingly prevalent while simultaneously there seems to be a greater call for healthy liv-ing Our age group wants to be healthier for the most part but the question is how do we do it

Therersquos no easy answer We hear all about eating right and exercising itrsquos not that we donrsquot know but that we donrsquot do On the Universityrsquos behalf they need to focus on providing easy healthy choices and more advertising about healthy living

But on our part we need to

actually pay attention to the Health Hut the posted nutrition information and the resources at the Rec You donrsquot necessar-ily have to count every calorie on your phone to be healthy Rather we should to team up the University and its students to become healthier and provide an example for the rest of the state

My generation has known nothing but war

Wersquove grown up expecting to see updated body counts in the newspapers every day for over a decade Who was killed today Where was he from Declaring war and committing troops to faraway places has become part of the presidentrsquos job descrip-tion it seems

It wasnrsquot always this way But lately how much has US foreign policy really changed from one administration to the next

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney would like you to think that this election is pivotal in shaping the future of America Unfortunately when it comes to foreign policy itrsquos hard to dis-tinguish between the two can-didates And they both have it wrong

A lot of statistics have been thrown around this campaign season Romneyrsquos ldquo47 percentrdquo Occupy Wall Streetrsquos ldquo99 per-centrdquo unemployment above eight percent But the most important number ndash which no one is talking about ndash is that 6500 Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 6500

Each US casualty is not just another stat like GDP or unem-ployment ndash it is an unquantifi-able instance of immense human suffering It is a ruined home a family destroyed a father or daughter lost

Therefore if given a choice between a president who would instantly end this annual mas-sacre of thousands of humans versus a president who might be able to raise GDP by three

percent in eight years who would you choose Yes the econ-omy and health care are impor-tant issues but votersrsquo highest priority should be ending these lethal costly and unwinnable wars What could possibly be more important

Ron Paul was the only seri-ous presidential candidate in recent memory who understood that these war-mongering ten-dencies could spell doom for the American empire Dr Paul understood that US foreign policy since World War II has been tragically flawed and that misguided interventionism is the greatest incentive to expand the already bloated federal govern-ment (almost $1400 billion of tax-payer money has been spent on Iraq and Afghanistan)

What if the US had used that money not to kill but to improve the human race in some way What if our government spent as much time teaching citizens about geography history com-munication and diplomacy as we currently spend training soldiers how to slaughter other humans

Ron Paul understood that ter-rorism is largely a result of the USrsquos repeated over-extension in the Middle East Terrorists donrsquot attack us because we are free and rich and Christian but because we routinely set off bombs in their backyards and kill their family members Even soldiers recognized this earlier in the campaign Paul outstripped all Republican candidates combined in donations from active duty personnel

We must view our foreign policy mistakes with a more reasonable per-spective we must ask ourselves ldquoWhat if

someone else was doing this to usrdquo We must humanize these people Who is the real enemy the Iraqi civilians who yearn only to be left alone or the Washington fear-mongers who spend your hard-earned money on frivolous killing sprees

Although bullies like Palestine Iran and Pakistan undeniably fear strength and toughness they decry the bloodthirsty American notion of strength through oppression Since World War II every ldquowarrdquo the US has fought has inflicted mas-sive civilian casualties murder is indeed the nature of modern warfare Predictably current US strategy in the Middle East goes something like this commit thousands of troops overthrow the government kill civilians and then hope to stop a handful of radical terrorists in a cave from plotting to bring d o w n t h e West

C a l l it the ldquoWar on T e r r o r rdquo ldquoOperation I r a q i F r e e d o m rdquo or whatever Really this is just

government-sponsored and taxpay-er-funded mass murder To most of the world we are the terrorists

But the wars in the Middle East have slipped silently into our national subconscious Itrsquos back-ground noise We are left with two candidates who differ only on the exact number of dollars and lives to be spent before we make our inevi-table dishonorable exit from the Middle East

Ron Paul threw us a life-pre-server in these tragically deep waters And congrats America ndash yoursquove turned away Yoursquove thrown the best presidential candidate in my lifetime off the ballot Yoursquove chosen to continue sinking in debt and drowning in the blood of your countrymen

After reading an article in the New York Times entitled ldquoLast Call for College Barsrdquo I was struck by the closing gap in the differences between British and American night life

Courtney Rubin the journal-ist who had clearly devoted a good few nights to sitting in col-lege bars at Cornell University watching student after student slurp on fish-bowl cocktails and pitchers of dripping beer prob-ably partaking in some form of method writing herself claims that many college bars are going out of business

She comes to the conclusion that social networking and mobile phones have replaced the college bar as an essential meeting place Gone are the days when we had to commit to plans and remember faces and names if we wanted to enjoy the luxury of a social life Now we have begun to spin a web of contacts both real and virtual from the comfort of our own rooms But this isnrsquot the only factor

With college bars closing at two or three at the very latest and students becoming more and more inclined to pre-drink elsewhere until later it simply isnrsquot sustainable for bars to

close this early We are arriv-ing at a cultural crossroads taking a left would mean a slow decay of bar culture and the rise of late night drinking within the realms of campus housing a right would mean a new late night and early morning face to bars around campus as they keep their lights on for a few more hours

Student are creatures of the night For two years I lived a nocturnal life flying through

the streets of Glasgow until the night intersected with the day at a floating and indistinct

angle Morning flooded the skies and by seven or eight I had usu-ally managed to succumb to my own bed The British drink-ing culture embraces the dark hours This means that by

the time I reach a bar or club it is never before midnight

Stereotypes aside laziness is a common denominator for stu-dents almost everywhere and I

put this factor down to my own late night starts but because clubs are open until five or six in England tardiness is accom-modated Here itrsquos a little more difficult I find myself having shorter Fridays and Saturdays dictated by the small piece of cardboard on the door of bars displaying their opening hours

In Tuscaloosa this policy-does not affect the student population so much as the business of the bars them-selves because with a campus of thirty thousand young peo-ple therersquos always some night owls to play with But surely longer opening hours would be an economically beneficial

decision for their owners and would encourage steady drink-ing rather than rushing out to drink quickly before closing time or deciding to stay in which seems to be the current choices for students Itrsquos worth consideration

That said there is still a thriving bar culture here and even if it has to be before mid-night for now Irsquom happy to con-sider the matter further over abeer

Several weeks ago I pointed out the merits of the Affordable Care Act and suggested health care is a natural right I argued our nation should level the playing field for those who cannot afford health care and give them a means to find insurance through a system of cost-sharing by mandating everyone buy insurance given a reasonable price By rewriting the rules of the insurance market the ACA has done that Yet the majority of students campus-wide disagree with the legitimacy of the ACA on ideological grounds

In no other nation has health care fueled such an ideological divide Wersquove been bred in America the land of individualism the home of capitalism What people hear is that the government will force everyone to buy insurance therefore disrupting the free market and distorting competition in health care This affront toward the Affordable Care Act is based in speculation and has little basis in the real world No industrialized educated country today exists where health care operates in a purely free market

If health care is an ordinary commodity then it should be purchased according to the market price without government interference In this case wersquore potentially asking patients to compete in the free market to barter for insurers to pay for their medication and treatment This is ldquocompetitionrdquo in the traditional sense

The cost of health is priceless I was ill for a long time Irsquod pay anything to ensure I donrsquot revert back to that state Needless to say capitalism will take advantage of that fact You will find few insurance companies who want to ensure the sick Moreover pharmaceutical companies find it easy to charge any price for life-saving medication When it comes to true illness and disease the patient has little choice in the matter The doctor prescribes The patientrsquos insurer buys

Is the government really to blame in this provid-er-patient-insurer exchange The price of specific treatment and medication is not fixed but rather fluctuating and agreed upon If two women were to deliver a child at the same hospital with the exact same treatment bed and procedure they each would receive separate bills with separate prices In the background each patientrsquos insurer agrees upon a different price with the hospital In other words because the patient is insulated from the purchase a traditional free market cannot exist and govern-ment regulation is necessary to protect the patient

We can point many fingers about the cost con-tainment issue Many argue patients have no incentive to seek lower cost options because their insurance or the government foots the bill In many circumstances the patient cannot meaningfully access ldquogoodrdquo health care He or she is prescribed a treatment or hospitalized ndash take it or leave it When it comes to life and death health care cannot be approached as a commodity that forces patients to shop for insurers and treatments

As most other educated nations have real-ized an element of shared responsibility which pools responsibility becomes the only practical approach to health care Letrsquos look at the situation in Massachusetts a state thatrsquos already implemented its version of the individual mandate Massachusetts has seen emergency room visits decline by 5ndash8 as a result of their version of the individual mandate A 2010 study by the nonpartisan Urban Institute stated 981 of state residents held insurance after the bill

Western European nations Japan Singapore and others guarantee their citizens equal access to health care wersquore now beginning to see that guaran-tee sprout in the States

The Affordable Care Act appears to address many of the problems with the health care industry today It is a bill centered in compromise repeal-ing it would set us back a long ways To guarantee health care for all while simultaneously controlling cost we must implement innovative experimental regulated reform that moves past ideology as many other industrialized nations have already done

For many students fall break is an opportunity to go home for the first time dur-ing the school year or stay in Tuscaloosa and get ahead on schoolwork and studies Some students however use this opportunity to give back travel and try things that time constraints may usually keep them from doing

For students interested in spending time giving back the Community Service Center offers an Alternative Break for students Alternative Break is an opportunity for students to go to another community and engage in intensive service said Wahnee Sherman direc-tor of the Community Service Center

ldquoAlternative Break is a great way for students to give back to another community wheth-er in our state in the region or internationallyrdquo Sherman said ldquoStudents can spend their time off from classes in a pro-ductive way engaging in mean-ingful servicerdquo

The trip aims to inform stu-dents of issues other communi-ties face providing a broader

view of community serviceldquoThe Community Service

Center has a large amount of community service opportuni-ties for UA students that can connect them to Tuscaloosardquo Libby Loveless student direc-tor of Alternative Break said ldquoWe also believe that students should experience other com-munities and cultures outside of Tuscaloosa We facilitate these learning and service experiences so that students can get a taste of other places especially the social issues that are prevalent in the locationsrdquo

The Community Service Center expects about 20 stu-dents to participate in the fall Alternative Break which will take place in Huntsville Ala

ldquoWe hope these students will build strong relationships with each other learn more about other communities in Alabama and make a differ-ence in the communities we work inrdquo Sherman said

For other students fall break means a chance to catch up on schoolwork and catch a breath during the semester

LaJoya Reed a sophomore majoring in public relations said shersquos going to use her fall break to prepare for the end of

the semesterldquoIrsquoll be catching up on work

and sleeping inrdquo Reed said ldquoI need to prepare myself for the coming weeksrdquo

Others are taking the rare break to relax and spend time doing things that students donrsquot always have time for with such busy schedules

Malcolm Harper a junior majoring in biology said he plans to spend his time relax-ing

ldquoIrsquom going to a pajama party and wersquore going to watch Netflixrdquo he said

For some students fall break

means adventures for which there would otherwise not be time

Erin Smith a sophomore majoring in history will be going to the beach during fall break and then skydiving on the way home something she and her friends have all want-ed to check off their to-do list

ldquoMy friends and I wanted to try something adventur-ous and itrsquos something wersquove all always wanted to dordquo Smith said ldquoTherersquos a place in Cullman that offers student and group discounts that wersquoll be able to take advantage ofrdquo

The Honors College Assembly has brought back its ldquoHCA Talksrdquo sessions for students interested in learn-ing about and discussing top-ics they may not be offered inthe classroom

HCA Talks is a program dedicated to giving all students on campus an opportunity to explore their interests even if the interest is not related to studentrsquos classes Students who attend the session are able to hear a lecture and have a conversation with the professor and other students who attend

Austin Lafferty HCA execu-tive vice president and founder of HCA Talks said he thinks students should have a way to intelligently discuss top-ics of their choice and explore what interests them no mat-ter what their field of study is He described the talks as giving students an opportu-nity to branch out of their own field or to get even deeper into something that theyrsquore already studying

ldquoSay yoursquore a biology major and all you are ever really tak-ing are biology classesrdquo said Lafferty a senior majoring in philosophy ldquoIf we have a [HCA Talk] on whether or not higher education is a right or a privi-lege that might be a topic you may be interested in but do not necessarily get in your classesrdquo

Lafferty credits his inspi-ration to begin HCA Talks to videos from TedTalks a web-site with videos of experts from around the world giving presentations on atypical top-ics they are passionate about After watching the videos Lafferty decided to bring some-thing similar to campus

ldquoI thought lsquoyou know thatrsquos really interestingrsquordquo he said

From there HCA Talks began

ldquoWhen I started I looked for university professors that were both knowledgeable and

passionate about somethingthat the students would findinterestingrdquo Lafferty saidldquoSomething interesting orsomething controversial within[the professorrsquos] field of studyrdquo

Since then the HCA Talkshave continued with discus-sions that have been receivedenthusiastically by both thestudents and professors

ldquoThe professors contactus with something theyrsquoreinterested inrdquo Lafferty saidldquoWe make sure it is some-thing the professors are reallyenthusiastic aboutrdquo

This year Molly Olmsteaddirector of academic engage-ment for HCA is in charge oforganizing the sessions forHCA Talks There has alreadybeen one session this semesterldquoHuman Computationrdquo pre-sented by Jeff Gray an asso-ciate professor in the depart-ment of computer science

Robert Cayaban the assis-tant director of academicengagement for HCA helpswith the HCA Talks and saidhe believes it is useful toall students

ldquoI think HCA Talks is a greatway for students to foster dis-cussion and connect infor-mally with faculty and peersin an engaging and warmingatmosphererdquo Cayaban said ajunior double majoring in civilengineering and new college ldquoIhope that more students wouldtake this opportunity to engagein scholarly discussion outsidethe classroomrdquo

Lessons branch out with lsquoTalksrsquo

In addition to free group exercise classes the University Recreation Center also offers a variety of paid classes that pro-vide students with access to dif-ferent machines and more indi-vidual attention from trainers One of these classes is Pilates Reformer

Unlike traditional mat Pilates Pilates Reformer uses a machine to add resistance Reformer instructor Jamie Lambert who also teaches mat Pilates and water aerobics com-pares the workout to a combina-tion of mat Pilates and weight training The spring-loaded Reformer machine offers resis-tance that provides a full-body workout that differs from the bodily-generated resistance used in mat Pilates

ldquoYou get more strength training versus the mat Pilates online Unless you incorporate straps or bands or rings [in mat Pilates] your body is doing its own work [In Reformer] we can isolate a certain muscle while still letting the whole body workrdquo Lambert said

Lambert teaches classes to a variety of age groups and says the workout is something peo-ple of most ability levels can do She also said the Reformer class has the therapeutic benefit of preventing future injury and

relieving existing painldquoI enjoy teaching [Reformer]

to college students because I know Irsquom giving them an exer-cise thatrsquos only going to benefit them in the futurerdquo Lambert said ldquoWith my community population they might have aches and pains coming in and I may get a phone call that says lsquoI havenrsquot had to take an ibuprofen in over a weekrsquordquo

Though the Pilates Reformer class is not free the rate for the class at the Rec is still lower than it would be in a typical gym Instead of charging $20 to $40 per class for individuals the typical rate for a Reformer class the cost is $15 per class for students and $20 for non-students The Rec also offers a group rate of $45 per class for groups of three to six people The cost is divided amongst the group so the cost could be as low as $750 per class

Students can get a taste of the Reformer class with the free introductory class provided by the Rec Commitment to the class is on a month to month basis so participants can opt out of the class if they are not satisfied

Paid classes like Reformer tend to be smaller than free classes giving participants more individual attention from the trainer and the trainer the ability to cater to individual needs

ldquo[In a large class] I canrsquot walk around and stare at all 30 people In here each machine has its own springs so I can put one [person] on heavier springs while another might be on lighter springsrdquo Lambert said ldquoYoursquore able to get an exer-cise completely specific to your bodyrdquo

Sarah Lecher a junior major-ing in communication stud-ies has been taking Pilates Reformer for almost two years She began taking mat Pilates classes with Lambert and after a free introductory Reformer class became hooked on the workout

ldquoI really love Pilates in gen-eral but [Reformer is] a lot dif-ferent because yoursquore using springs for resistance versus your own body You can do certain exercises like going

overhead that you wouldnrsquot be able to do with your own bodyrdquo Lecher said ldquo[Reformer] is a lot more addictive [than mat] Pilates and you see results fast-errdquo

Despite the benefits of the paid classes the cost and com-mitment keeps some students from participating Hannah Vander Maas a junior major-ing in history and economics regularly attends the free mat Pilates class offered by the Rec She said the free classes suit her needs enough not to need paid classes

ldquoI wouldnrsquot [take a paid class] because the free classes are at a convenient time and theyrsquore never fullrdquo Vander Maas said

Minimalism in art terms is the purging of all expression from a piece and a focus on the process and concept of design In essence it is the antithesis of Abstract Expressionism a movement accurately described by its name In fashion terms minimalism is similar but the focus is placed on the simplistic and modernist appearance of the clothes

For example a color palette of all white or all black would be minimalist in nature Pieces with sharp tailored lines or pieces with neutral color blocking would also qualify as minimalist

Now Irsquom not here to lecture you on art history or tell you to walk outside in a solid color pal-ette Yoursquore in college have fun with your clothes and express yourself but also experiment Walking around in a crisp black ensemble is not only chic but it will make more than a few heads turn ndash in a good way The outfit based on a highly regarded art movement makes you look intel-ligent and widely read

Jil Sanderrsquos spring 2013 collec-tion was based on the concept of minimalism Fashion colum-nists speculate as to the sudden purging of the linersquos expres-sive nature Many believe that Sander who took an eight-year hiatus from her company was reclaiming the creative vision of her label and effectively eradi-cating the designs of Raf Simons ldquoReset to zerordquo was even the first line in the showrsquos program

Sanderrsquos Minimalist theme was done with an all white color palette and masculine forms

Her skirts were cut severely and although pastel polka dots were included in some of the pieces the overall collection remained very basic and very clean

As to how this can apply to someone at the University with-out the budget for a Jil Sanderrsquos piece itrsquos simpler than you think Like I said color-blocking neu-trals is a perfect way to achieve minimalism in your look navy black white grey ndash all of these colors are ideal Steer away from ornate designs or patterns busy prints and glitzy accessories

If this sounds slightly appeal-ing conceptually but boring in reality no worries Your mini-malist look can be more personal with the inclusion of a bold state-ment piece Grab a primary blue bag to make your black outfit pop ndash black and primary blue is one of my favorite combinations Or add a soft chocolate-colored knee-high boot to your colored blocked attire Adding these pieces reduce the severity of your minimalist look and allow you to retain your personality and fun

I know a minimalist look isnrsquot for everyone and Irsquom not trying to make you look like a stuffy businesswoman who needs to get out of her high-rise office That being said sometimes an outfit looks more complete if therersquos a cognitive thought behind why it was put together

If you want to try this mini-malist approach to style but donrsquot know where to begin start simple with the advice of the late Coco Chanel ldquoBefore leaving the house a lady should stop look in the mirror and remove one piece of jewelryrdquo

lsquoCharadersquo an example of intense old-fashioned fi lmBy Dana Woodruff

They say things get better with age and when it comes to good old-fashioned films I could not agree more In fact one of the most exhilarating thrilling and unexpected mov-ies I have ever seen was made in the early 1960s Even with-out all of the flashy special effects of modern cinematog-raphy this action flick remains one of the best of its kind

Hailing from an era of classic Hollywood glamour ldquoCharaderdquo is an upbeat whodunit-slash-romantic-comedy ndash an interest-ing mix of intense gunfights and mysterious murders inter-spersed with flirty witty ban-ter between a chic heroine and a seductively sly male lead Starring the fabulous Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant ldquoCharaderdquo begins with a mur-der and ends with a love story

The sinister plot is quickly introduced with a dead man being pushed from a train with-out any explanation then after a series of psychedelic opening credits the scenery switches

to the beautiful mountains of a French ski resort where Regina ldquoReggierdquo Lampert (Hepburn) is vacationing with a friend It is here that she first meets the ever-charming Peter Joshua (Grant) with whom she flirts for a bit before returning home

Upon entering her apart-ment Reggie is horrified to discover that her mysterious husband Charles and all of their belongings are gone with-out a trace The police inform her that Charles had sold everything for a very costly sum only to turn up dead by the train tracks the next day We now know that the body thrown off the train at the beginning of the movie was in fact Reggiersquos late husband There is no sign of the money but the police give Reggie what

was left behind by the man she thought she knew several passports a ticket for a boat bound for South America and a letter he had written for her

Things only get stranger when three intimidating fig-ures show up at Charlesrsquo funeral each taking a turn to walk up to the casket and ver-ify that Charles is dead From this point on the plot thick-ens and then escalates out of control as the three men begin harassing Reggie about where the missing money might be As you might have predicted Peter Joshua comes to the res-cue protecting her from these wicked men and their greedy intentions Like any common love story there is a damsel in distress and a good man to save her But is Peter Joshua really a good man Or is he just

another villain waiting for an opportunity to snag the cash and run

Just as a precautionary disclaimer ldquoCharaderdquo has so many plot twists yoursquore likely to feel the effects of whiplash I however found this to be the most impressive part I had a preconceived notion that all old films are predictable with lame humor and lacking any legitimate action scenes After watching this movie I realized just how astronomically wrong I had been in assuming this

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the extreme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits and nervous jitters I found myself trying to gauge the charactersrsquo intentions as good or evil and realized that it was impos-sible By the end of the movie I didnrsquot trust a single one of them When it all fell into place at the end I was shocked but satisfied because there was no way anyone could have predict-ed the dramatic conclusion of such a cinematic masterpiece

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the ex-treme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits

Concrete and Asphalt Thatrsquos what meets the eye of passers-by when they look at The University of Alabama track facility Itrsquos no longer covered with red rub-ber pellets as it had been since the 1970s Therersquos no grass on the infield as work trucks litter the sight The track team has no home

Hopefully that will all end in November when the University unveils a brand new track and

field facility As a member of the team who will have access to the complex Irsquom not sure how long I will be able to contain my excite-ment It may be strange to think that a venue where I will spend hours a day sweating stressing and sometimes even breaking down is the cause of so much ela-tion But thatrsquos what Irsquom ready for Irsquom ready to lay everything I have out on a brand new track each and every day in order to reach goals I have set for myself Pushing through pain and putting my heart into every sprint jump and

medicine ball circuit is why I go to practice I know my team-mates feel the same

Over the past two years I have seen the track program grow through various changes I was nervous when an entirely new coaching staff moved into the coliseum They were intimidat-ing but the whole team knew it was a positive change There was a new attitude a new work ethic and a new plan

But one of the most excit-ing things was head coach Dan Watersrsquo announcement that

the team will have a brand new state-of-the-art track and field complex It wonrsquot just be your stereotypical rubber surface that sat under the hot Alabama sun for over 40 years The Sam Bailey Track and Field Complex will be outfitted with a Mondo surface Mondo is known for its speed and some of the fastest tracks around the world are made of this materi-al including the track within the London Olympic Stadium which hosted three world records in this summerrsquos games

Every time we hear we will be

competing on a Mondo track we know that we have the opportu-nity to move faster around the track or down the runway So of course itrsquos exciting that we will be able to train on this sur-face every day Wersquore hoping for faster times higher jumps and farther throws As a team we are ready to progress this year with the help of the new facility

The athletic department has shown a commitment to its ath-letes on the track and field team with this construction and the addition of new coaches The

department recognized that the team was struggling and put in an enormous effort to bring the team up to the standard set by a long history of champions at the Capstone This endeavor has allowed me to realize what I want to achieve on the track and I have been given every opportunity to do so

Alabamarsquos defense looked lost at times when the Rebelsrsquo hurry-up offense was in high gear Coaches made the necessary adjustments and came away with the most important result a win

Bama Dining offers gluten-free meat-free and peanut-free options in their dining halls as part of their commitment to serve the dietary needs of the increase in students with food allergies

However Shelby Brooks a junior majoring in chemi-cal engineering still finds it a challenge to decide what is safe for her to eat at Bama Dining locations

ldquoChick-fil-A is not an option for me which is usually the most popular choice in the food courtrdquo Brooks said

Brooks said she is severely allergic to peanuts and related products including peanut oil and flour and lima beans which are challenging to avoid when eating at the dining halls

ldquoI always have to make sure that the oil that is used is not peanut oilrdquo she said ldquoAlso most of the time I canrsquot eat the desserts because I am not sure if they contain peanuts or were made on the same equipment as peanutsrdquo

When students enter the din-ing locations there are signs that display a Food Allergy Policy statement at each entrance suggesting that any student with a food allergy

should meet with Bama Dining location managers to help them determine what is safe to consume

Brooks feels Bama Dining offers a wealth of options in their dining halls and food courts and has noticed an improvement in student awareness However she wishes the signs were more specific

ldquoThere are plenty of options available but I usually find a peanut-free favorite and stick with thatrdquo she said

Bama Dining Services believes good nutrition is essential to good health To help assist stu-dents in supplying their bodies with the essentials for a healthy

diet Kelsey Faust marketing manager for Bama Dining has come up with initiatives to meet the needs of a gluten-free pea-nut-free or meat-free diet

ldquoWe offer gluten-free meals at all meal plan locations upon request made with gluten-free pizza dough bread and pastardquo Faust said ldquoThere is also a des-ignated vegetarian station at each meal plan location with informational signs in the food court Stewartrsquos Corner and other retail locations highlight-ing the vegetarian amp healthy options at each food conceptrdquo

Bama Dining offers organic vegan and gluten-free to-go meals as well as ingredients and

snacks sold at Juliarsquos Market in Tutwiler Hall and Lakeside Market including Albertrsquos Organics Grab N Go meals

For vegetarians Bama Dining offers a weekly vegetarian email that allows students to opt-in to receive a weekly email listing all the vegetarian menu items in the meal plan locations for the current week Students faculty and staff can go to bamadiningcom to sign up for the emails

Ann Elizabeth Sovereign a sophomore majoring in philoso-phy said the weekly vegetarian email helps keep her up-to-date with all the menu items

ldquoAt first I thought it was going

to be miserable as a vegetar-ian to try and find a variety of foods to eat but with the email I am able to locate current menu itemsrdquo Sovereign said

For healthy recipes tips and facts students should follow Just4UA on Twitter Each Month the Just4UA initiative focuses on a specific nutritional topic such as weight loss snack tips daily recipes carbohy-drates and nutrition

ldquoThis Twitter feed was actual-ly highlighted by Menrsquos Fitness Magazine as one of the reasons for The University of Alabama to be ranked 10th as the fittest colleges in the United Statesrdquo Faust said

Bruce Berger professor of advertising and public relations will fly to New York City on Nov 8 to receive the Pathfinder Award for significant contributions to public relations research

The Institute for Public Relations selected Berger for this annual award for his leadership in the PR industry and his innova-tive research in employee commu-nications Berger attributes his success to his effective communi-cation skills and enthusiasm

ldquoI feel like Irsquove been success-ful in public relations because of my good strong writing skillsrdquo Berger said ldquoI never took a PR course in my career My wife and I were broke so I took a job as a speechwriter It was something that I grew to love and it played to some of my strengthsrdquo

Berger has contributed to PR on an international level work-ing in Brussels and Belgium as a public affairs manager He lead PR efforts in Europe Africa and

the Middle East Berger said his selection

for this award is a part of a recent series of successes at the University that strengthens the school as a whole

ldquoAny number of faculty here are receiving awards at a fairly regular rate and theyrsquore not just local awards theyrsquore national awardsrdquo Berger said ldquoWe have a lot of students and a lot of fac-ulty who do fantastic work and the recognition of all those things over time really contribute to the reputation that we have and are earningrdquo

Megan Brantley a graduate student pursuing her masterrsquos degree in advertising and public relations had Berger during her senior year of undergraduate studies at the University Brantley credited Bergerrsquos success to his impressive teaching skills

ldquoI had a lot of great profes-sors during my undergrad at UA but Dr Berger may be the most genuine professor Irsquove ever hadrdquo Brantley said ldquoNot only does he prepare students to thrive in

the professional sphere but he takes an interest in students as human beingsrdquo

Beyond his professional research and work in PR Berger has worked extensively in the noprofit sector specifically work-ing to eliminate illiteracy Berger and 22 of his graduate students founded Literacy is the Edge in 2008 to combat adult illiteracy in West Alabama Through his work with LITE Berger became involved with the Literacy Council of West Alabama and currently serves on its board of directors Kitty Wheeler executive director of the Literacy Council believes Bergerrsquos success in the commu-nity lies with his leadership abili-ties

ldquoHe gets things done he vol-unteers and if hersquos asked to do anything he follows throughrdquo Wheeler said ldquoStarting LITE is going to have a ripple effect and all of these graduate stu-dents under his leadership will move on from UA and hopefully spread his work in literacy wherever they end uprdquo

UA professor to receive PR awardBy Kelsey ZokanContributing Writer

The University of Alabamarsquos signature well-ness program WellBAMA is designed to allow faculty and staff to improve the quality of their lives

ldquoThe Office of Health Promotion and Wellness is relatively new and its pur-pose is to address issues related to UA employees and their covered benefi-ciaries on our health insur-ance planrdquo said Margaret Garner the director of the Department of Health Promotion amp Wellness at the Student Health Center ldquoWellBAMA is the health appraisal program designed to detect early evidence of health risk and provide resources to address them among other benefitsrdquo

Every year WellBAMA presents numerous pro-grams and rewards to get faculty and staff members to come into the Office

of Health Promotion amp Wellness to become more aware about their health conditions

Carolyn MacVicar office associate at Health Promotion and Wellness on UArsquos campus familiarized benefits that are new to WellBAMA this year

ldquoBenefit eligible fac-ulty and staff are able to participate in an annual WellBAMA health screen-ing and health coaching eventrdquo MacVicar said ldquoIn 2012 participants will receive $25 for participat-ing in a WellBAMA health screening For 2013 benefit-eligible faculty and staff can receive up to $200 based on their club statusrdquo

Although faculty staff and students all have their own separate outlets to receive health benefits WellBAMA promotes sev-eral programs that are designed to target employ-ees and is not intended for UA students due to the

availability of facilities and programs already in place to help them stay healthy like the Student Health Center and its initiatives The program isnrsquot com-pletely exclusive though

ldquoOur office offers the Crimson Couch to 5K a program that gets you from the couch to walking or run-ning a 5K in nine weeksrdquo MacVicar said ldquoThe train-ing program is for faculty and staff but the event is open to everyone including studentsrdquo

The 30-Day Tobacco Free Challenge is also a program promoted by WellBAMA that is free and open to fac-ulty staff and students

ldquoThey are providing a healthier atmosphere and encouraging health and wellness for a more productive healthier campusrdquo MacVicar said ldquoWhen employees are hap-pier and healthier they are more productive and miss less workrdquo

All of my friends recently seem to have gotten into those health apps that are out there now You know the ones where you type in what yoursquove eaten that day and it tells you how many calories yoursquove taken in Irsquove always con-sidered them as telling you more about how bad to feel about your-self and your eating habits but Irsquom beginning to wonder if theyrsquore on to something

Recent findings show that Alabama has the fourth-highest rate of adult obesity in the coun-try As a result many K-12 schools are trying to promote healthier eating and better options in their cafeterias But has that way of thinking translated into our lives here at the University

Between classes grab a snack from the vending machines For lunch head to one of our food courts and eat a bit of Chik-Fil-A In the afternoon meet up with some friends to catch up over Starbucks We are surrounded by temptations all day every day and itrsquos so easy to eat fast food instead of real meals when itrsquos readily available

Especially as a southern school we center our lives and social events around food Instead of just hanging out with friends we go out to eat On game days we have tailgates filled with barbe-cue and every side item imagin-able And what student on UArsquos campus could survive without late-nighting at Quick Grill or Hungry Howiersquos

In many of the dining halls there are calorie and fat counts posted next to each food item so that we can measure our intake in that the University is putting a focus on healthy eating But right next to that are the king-sized candy bars you find at every cash register (yes king-sized Take a look next time)

The problem of healthy eating choices on campus isnrsquot straight-forward After all is it really the Universityrsquos duty to make sure that wersquore choosing the right things to eat Wersquore all adults here so we should in theory have moved past being forced to eat our vegetables But when given the choice between quickly get-ting a pre-made slice of pizza and waiting in line to pay $900 to get inside Fresh Foods Irsquom going to go with the former Unhealthy

foods are increasingly prevalent while simultaneously there seems to be a greater call for healthy liv-ing Our age group wants to be healthier for the most part but the question is how do we do it

Therersquos no easy answer We hear all about eating right and exercising itrsquos not that we donrsquot know but that we donrsquot do On the Universityrsquos behalf they need to focus on providing easy healthy choices and more advertising about healthy living

But on our part we need to

actually pay attention to the Health Hut the posted nutrition information and the resources at the Rec You donrsquot necessar-ily have to count every calorie on your phone to be healthy Rather we should to team up the University and its students to become healthier and provide an example for the rest of the state

My generation has known nothing but war

Wersquove grown up expecting to see updated body counts in the newspapers every day for over a decade Who was killed today Where was he from Declaring war and committing troops to faraway places has become part of the presidentrsquos job descrip-tion it seems

It wasnrsquot always this way But lately how much has US foreign policy really changed from one administration to the next

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney would like you to think that this election is pivotal in shaping the future of America Unfortunately when it comes to foreign policy itrsquos hard to dis-tinguish between the two can-didates And they both have it wrong

A lot of statistics have been thrown around this campaign season Romneyrsquos ldquo47 percentrdquo Occupy Wall Streetrsquos ldquo99 per-centrdquo unemployment above eight percent But the most important number ndash which no one is talking about ndash is that 6500 Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 6500

Each US casualty is not just another stat like GDP or unem-ployment ndash it is an unquantifi-able instance of immense human suffering It is a ruined home a family destroyed a father or daughter lost

Therefore if given a choice between a president who would instantly end this annual mas-sacre of thousands of humans versus a president who might be able to raise GDP by three

percent in eight years who would you choose Yes the econ-omy and health care are impor-tant issues but votersrsquo highest priority should be ending these lethal costly and unwinnable wars What could possibly be more important

Ron Paul was the only seri-ous presidential candidate in recent memory who understood that these war-mongering ten-dencies could spell doom for the American empire Dr Paul understood that US foreign policy since World War II has been tragically flawed and that misguided interventionism is the greatest incentive to expand the already bloated federal govern-ment (almost $1400 billion of tax-payer money has been spent on Iraq and Afghanistan)

What if the US had used that money not to kill but to improve the human race in some way What if our government spent as much time teaching citizens about geography history com-munication and diplomacy as we currently spend training soldiers how to slaughter other humans

Ron Paul understood that ter-rorism is largely a result of the USrsquos repeated over-extension in the Middle East Terrorists donrsquot attack us because we are free and rich and Christian but because we routinely set off bombs in their backyards and kill their family members Even soldiers recognized this earlier in the campaign Paul outstripped all Republican candidates combined in donations from active duty personnel

We must view our foreign policy mistakes with a more reasonable per-spective we must ask ourselves ldquoWhat if

someone else was doing this to usrdquo We must humanize these people Who is the real enemy the Iraqi civilians who yearn only to be left alone or the Washington fear-mongers who spend your hard-earned money on frivolous killing sprees

Although bullies like Palestine Iran and Pakistan undeniably fear strength and toughness they decry the bloodthirsty American notion of strength through oppression Since World War II every ldquowarrdquo the US has fought has inflicted mas-sive civilian casualties murder is indeed the nature of modern warfare Predictably current US strategy in the Middle East goes something like this commit thousands of troops overthrow the government kill civilians and then hope to stop a handful of radical terrorists in a cave from plotting to bring d o w n t h e West

C a l l it the ldquoWar on T e r r o r rdquo ldquoOperation I r a q i F r e e d o m rdquo or whatever Really this is just

government-sponsored and taxpay-er-funded mass murder To most of the world we are the terrorists

But the wars in the Middle East have slipped silently into our national subconscious Itrsquos back-ground noise We are left with two candidates who differ only on the exact number of dollars and lives to be spent before we make our inevi-table dishonorable exit from the Middle East

Ron Paul threw us a life-pre-server in these tragically deep waters And congrats America ndash yoursquove turned away Yoursquove thrown the best presidential candidate in my lifetime off the ballot Yoursquove chosen to continue sinking in debt and drowning in the blood of your countrymen

After reading an article in the New York Times entitled ldquoLast Call for College Barsrdquo I was struck by the closing gap in the differences between British and American night life

Courtney Rubin the journal-ist who had clearly devoted a good few nights to sitting in col-lege bars at Cornell University watching student after student slurp on fish-bowl cocktails and pitchers of dripping beer prob-ably partaking in some form of method writing herself claims that many college bars are going out of business

She comes to the conclusion that social networking and mobile phones have replaced the college bar as an essential meeting place Gone are the days when we had to commit to plans and remember faces and names if we wanted to enjoy the luxury of a social life Now we have begun to spin a web of contacts both real and virtual from the comfort of our own rooms But this isnrsquot the only factor

With college bars closing at two or three at the very latest and students becoming more and more inclined to pre-drink elsewhere until later it simply isnrsquot sustainable for bars to

close this early We are arriv-ing at a cultural crossroads taking a left would mean a slow decay of bar culture and the rise of late night drinking within the realms of campus housing a right would mean a new late night and early morning face to bars around campus as they keep their lights on for a few more hours

Student are creatures of the night For two years I lived a nocturnal life flying through

the streets of Glasgow until the night intersected with the day at a floating and indistinct

angle Morning flooded the skies and by seven or eight I had usu-ally managed to succumb to my own bed The British drink-ing culture embraces the dark hours This means that by

the time I reach a bar or club it is never before midnight

Stereotypes aside laziness is a common denominator for stu-dents almost everywhere and I

put this factor down to my own late night starts but because clubs are open until five or six in England tardiness is accom-modated Here itrsquos a little more difficult I find myself having shorter Fridays and Saturdays dictated by the small piece of cardboard on the door of bars displaying their opening hours

In Tuscaloosa this policy-does not affect the student population so much as the business of the bars them-selves because with a campus of thirty thousand young peo-ple therersquos always some night owls to play with But surely longer opening hours would be an economically beneficial

decision for their owners and would encourage steady drink-ing rather than rushing out to drink quickly before closing time or deciding to stay in which seems to be the current choices for students Itrsquos worth consideration

That said there is still a thriving bar culture here and even if it has to be before mid-night for now Irsquom happy to con-sider the matter further over abeer

Several weeks ago I pointed out the merits of the Affordable Care Act and suggested health care is a natural right I argued our nation should level the playing field for those who cannot afford health care and give them a means to find insurance through a system of cost-sharing by mandating everyone buy insurance given a reasonable price By rewriting the rules of the insurance market the ACA has done that Yet the majority of students campus-wide disagree with the legitimacy of the ACA on ideological grounds

In no other nation has health care fueled such an ideological divide Wersquove been bred in America the land of individualism the home of capitalism What people hear is that the government will force everyone to buy insurance therefore disrupting the free market and distorting competition in health care This affront toward the Affordable Care Act is based in speculation and has little basis in the real world No industrialized educated country today exists where health care operates in a purely free market

If health care is an ordinary commodity then it should be purchased according to the market price without government interference In this case wersquore potentially asking patients to compete in the free market to barter for insurers to pay for their medication and treatment This is ldquocompetitionrdquo in the traditional sense

The cost of health is priceless I was ill for a long time Irsquod pay anything to ensure I donrsquot revert back to that state Needless to say capitalism will take advantage of that fact You will find few insurance companies who want to ensure the sick Moreover pharmaceutical companies find it easy to charge any price for life-saving medication When it comes to true illness and disease the patient has little choice in the matter The doctor prescribes The patientrsquos insurer buys

Is the government really to blame in this provid-er-patient-insurer exchange The price of specific treatment and medication is not fixed but rather fluctuating and agreed upon If two women were to deliver a child at the same hospital with the exact same treatment bed and procedure they each would receive separate bills with separate prices In the background each patientrsquos insurer agrees upon a different price with the hospital In other words because the patient is insulated from the purchase a traditional free market cannot exist and govern-ment regulation is necessary to protect the patient

We can point many fingers about the cost con-tainment issue Many argue patients have no incentive to seek lower cost options because their insurance or the government foots the bill In many circumstances the patient cannot meaningfully access ldquogoodrdquo health care He or she is prescribed a treatment or hospitalized ndash take it or leave it When it comes to life and death health care cannot be approached as a commodity that forces patients to shop for insurers and treatments

As most other educated nations have real-ized an element of shared responsibility which pools responsibility becomes the only practical approach to health care Letrsquos look at the situation in Massachusetts a state thatrsquos already implemented its version of the individual mandate Massachusetts has seen emergency room visits decline by 5ndash8 as a result of their version of the individual mandate A 2010 study by the nonpartisan Urban Institute stated 981 of state residents held insurance after the bill

Western European nations Japan Singapore and others guarantee their citizens equal access to health care wersquore now beginning to see that guaran-tee sprout in the States

The Affordable Care Act appears to address many of the problems with the health care industry today It is a bill centered in compromise repeal-ing it would set us back a long ways To guarantee health care for all while simultaneously controlling cost we must implement innovative experimental regulated reform that moves past ideology as many other industrialized nations have already done

For many students fall break is an opportunity to go home for the first time dur-ing the school year or stay in Tuscaloosa and get ahead on schoolwork and studies Some students however use this opportunity to give back travel and try things that time constraints may usually keep them from doing

For students interested in spending time giving back the Community Service Center offers an Alternative Break for students Alternative Break is an opportunity for students to go to another community and engage in intensive service said Wahnee Sherman direc-tor of the Community Service Center

ldquoAlternative Break is a great way for students to give back to another community wheth-er in our state in the region or internationallyrdquo Sherman said ldquoStudents can spend their time off from classes in a pro-ductive way engaging in mean-ingful servicerdquo

The trip aims to inform stu-dents of issues other communi-ties face providing a broader

view of community serviceldquoThe Community Service

Center has a large amount of community service opportuni-ties for UA students that can connect them to Tuscaloosardquo Libby Loveless student direc-tor of Alternative Break said ldquoWe also believe that students should experience other com-munities and cultures outside of Tuscaloosa We facilitate these learning and service experiences so that students can get a taste of other places especially the social issues that are prevalent in the locationsrdquo

The Community Service Center expects about 20 stu-dents to participate in the fall Alternative Break which will take place in Huntsville Ala

ldquoWe hope these students will build strong relationships with each other learn more about other communities in Alabama and make a differ-ence in the communities we work inrdquo Sherman said

For other students fall break means a chance to catch up on schoolwork and catch a breath during the semester

LaJoya Reed a sophomore majoring in public relations said shersquos going to use her fall break to prepare for the end of

the semesterldquoIrsquoll be catching up on work

and sleeping inrdquo Reed said ldquoI need to prepare myself for the coming weeksrdquo

Others are taking the rare break to relax and spend time doing things that students donrsquot always have time for with such busy schedules

Malcolm Harper a junior majoring in biology said he plans to spend his time relax-ing

ldquoIrsquom going to a pajama party and wersquore going to watch Netflixrdquo he said

For some students fall break

means adventures for which there would otherwise not be time

Erin Smith a sophomore majoring in history will be going to the beach during fall break and then skydiving on the way home something she and her friends have all want-ed to check off their to-do list

ldquoMy friends and I wanted to try something adventur-ous and itrsquos something wersquove all always wanted to dordquo Smith said ldquoTherersquos a place in Cullman that offers student and group discounts that wersquoll be able to take advantage ofrdquo

The Honors College Assembly has brought back its ldquoHCA Talksrdquo sessions for students interested in learn-ing about and discussing top-ics they may not be offered inthe classroom

HCA Talks is a program dedicated to giving all students on campus an opportunity to explore their interests even if the interest is not related to studentrsquos classes Students who attend the session are able to hear a lecture and have a conversation with the professor and other students who attend

Austin Lafferty HCA execu-tive vice president and founder of HCA Talks said he thinks students should have a way to intelligently discuss top-ics of their choice and explore what interests them no mat-ter what their field of study is He described the talks as giving students an opportu-nity to branch out of their own field or to get even deeper into something that theyrsquore already studying

ldquoSay yoursquore a biology major and all you are ever really tak-ing are biology classesrdquo said Lafferty a senior majoring in philosophy ldquoIf we have a [HCA Talk] on whether or not higher education is a right or a privi-lege that might be a topic you may be interested in but do not necessarily get in your classesrdquo

Lafferty credits his inspi-ration to begin HCA Talks to videos from TedTalks a web-site with videos of experts from around the world giving presentations on atypical top-ics they are passionate about After watching the videos Lafferty decided to bring some-thing similar to campus

ldquoI thought lsquoyou know thatrsquos really interestingrsquordquo he said

From there HCA Talks began

ldquoWhen I started I looked for university professors that were both knowledgeable and

passionate about somethingthat the students would findinterestingrdquo Lafferty saidldquoSomething interesting orsomething controversial within[the professorrsquos] field of studyrdquo

Since then the HCA Talkshave continued with discus-sions that have been receivedenthusiastically by both thestudents and professors

ldquoThe professors contactus with something theyrsquoreinterested inrdquo Lafferty saidldquoWe make sure it is some-thing the professors are reallyenthusiastic aboutrdquo

This year Molly Olmsteaddirector of academic engage-ment for HCA is in charge oforganizing the sessions forHCA Talks There has alreadybeen one session this semesterldquoHuman Computationrdquo pre-sented by Jeff Gray an asso-ciate professor in the depart-ment of computer science

Robert Cayaban the assis-tant director of academicengagement for HCA helpswith the HCA Talks and saidhe believes it is useful toall students

ldquoI think HCA Talks is a greatway for students to foster dis-cussion and connect infor-mally with faculty and peersin an engaging and warmingatmosphererdquo Cayaban said ajunior double majoring in civilengineering and new college ldquoIhope that more students wouldtake this opportunity to engagein scholarly discussion outsidethe classroomrdquo

The topics for the rest ofthe semesterrsquos upcoming ses-sions are ldquoQuarks Higgs andMultiverse Physics Looks tothe Next Universerdquo the topicof new energy and the futureof energy ldquoPolitical Economyof Placerdquo and ldquoThe USrsquosHealthcare Puzzlerdquo

Lessons branch out with lsquoTalksrsquo

By Courtney StinsonStaff Reporter

In addition to free group exercise classes the University Recreation Center also offers a variety of paid classes that pro-vide students with access to dif-ferent machines and more indi-vidual attention from trainers One of these classes is Pilates Reformer

Unlike traditional mat Pilates Pilates Reformer uses a machine to add resistance Reformer instructor Jamie Lambert who also teaches mat Pilates and water aerobics com-pares the workout to a combina-tion of mat Pilates and weight training The spring-loaded Reformer machine offers resis-tance that provides a full-body workout that differs from the bodily-generated resistance used in mat Pilates

ldquoYou get more strength training versus the mat Pilates online Unless you incorporate straps or bands or rings [in mat Pilates] your body is doing its own work [In Reformer] we can isolate a certain muscle while still letting the whole body workrdquo Lambert said

Lambert teaches classes to a variety of age groups and says the workout is something peo-ple of most ability levels can do She also said the Reformer class has the therapeutic benefit of preventing future injury and

relieving existing painldquoI enjoy teaching [Reformer]

to college students because I know Irsquom giving them an exer-cise thatrsquos only going to benefit them in the futurerdquo Lambert said ldquoWith my community population they might have aches and pains coming in and I may get a phone call that says lsquoI havenrsquot had to take an ibuprofen in over a weekrsquordquo

Though the Pilates Reformer class is not free the rate for the class at the Rec is still lower than it would be in a typical gym Instead of charging $20 to $40 per class for individuals the typical rate for a Reformer class the cost is $15 per class for students and $20 for non-students The Rec also offers a group rate of $45 per class for groups of three to six people The cost is divided amongst the group so the cost could be as low as $750 per class

Students can get a taste of the Reformer class with the free introductory class provided by the Rec Commitment to the class is on a month to month basis so participants can opt out of the class if they are not satisfied

Paid classes like Reformer tend to be smaller than free classes giving participants more individual attention from the trainer and the trainer the ability to cater to individual needs

ldquo[In a large class] I canrsquot walk around and stare at all 30 people In here each machine has its own springs so I can put one [person] on heavier springs while another might be on lighter springsrdquo Lambert said ldquoYoursquore able to get an exer-cise completely specific to your bodyrdquo

Sarah Lecher a junior major-ing in communication stud-ies has been taking Pilates Reformer for almost two years She began taking mat Pilates classes with Lambert and after a free introductory Reformer class became hooked on the workout

ldquoI really love Pilates in gen-eral but [Reformer is] a lot dif-ferent because yoursquore using springs for resistance versus your own body You can do certain exercises like going

overhead that you wouldnrsquot be able to do with your own bodyrdquo Lecher said ldquo[Reformer] is a lot more addictive [than mat] Pilates and you see results fast-errdquo

Despite the benefits of the paid classes the cost and com-mitment keeps some students from participating Hannah Vander Maas a junior major-ing in history and economics regularly attends the free mat Pilates class offered by the Rec She said the free classes suit her needs enough not to need paid classes

ldquoI wouldnrsquot [take a paid class] because the free classes are at a convenient time and theyrsquore never fullrdquo Vander Maas said

Minimalism in art terms is the purging of all expression from a piece and a focus on the process and concept of design In essence it is the antithesis of Abstract Expressionism a movement accurately described by its name In fashion terms minimalism is similar but the focus is placed on the simplistic and modernist appearance of the clothes

For example a color palette of all white or all black would be minimalist in nature Pieces with sharp tailored lines or pieces with neutral color blocking would also qualify as minimalist

Now Irsquom not here to lecture you on art history or tell you to walk outside in a solid color pal-ette Yoursquore in college have fun with your clothes and express yourself but also experiment Walking around in a crisp black ensemble is not only chic but it will make more than a few heads turn ndash in a good way The outfit based on a highly regarded art movement makes you look intel-ligent and widely read

Jil Sanderrsquos spring 2013 collec-tion was based on the concept of minimalism Fashion colum-nists speculate as to the sudden purging of the linersquos expres-sive nature Many believe that Sander who took an eight-year hiatus from her company was reclaiming the creative vision of her label and effectively eradi-cating the designs of Raf Simons ldquoReset to zerordquo was even the first line in the showrsquos program

Sanderrsquos Minimalist theme was done with an all white color palette and masculine forms

Her skirts were cut severely and although pastel polka dots were included in some of the pieces the overall collection remained very basic and very clean

As to how this can apply to someone at the University with-out the budget for a Jil Sanderrsquos piece itrsquos simpler than you think Like I said color-blocking neu-trals is a perfect way to achieve minimalism in your look navy black white grey ndash all of these colors are ideal Steer away from ornate designs or patterns busy prints and glitzy accessories

If this sounds slightly appeal-ing conceptually but boring in reality no worries Your mini-malist look can be more personal with the inclusion of a bold state-ment piece Grab a primary blue bag to make your black outfit pop ndash black and primary blue is one of my favorite combinations Or add a soft chocolate-colored knee-high boot to your colored blocked attire Adding these pieces reduce the severity of your minimalist look and allow you to retain your personality and fun

I know a minimalist look isnrsquot for everyone and Irsquom not trying to make you look like a stuffy businesswoman who needs to get out of her high-rise office That being said sometimes an outfit looks more complete if therersquos a cognitive thought behind why it was put together

If you want to try this mini-malist approach to style but donrsquot know where to begin start simple with the advice of the late Coco Chanel ldquoBefore leaving the house a lady should stop look in the mirror and remove one piece of jewelryrdquo

lsquoCharadersquo an example of intense old-fashioned fi lmBy Dana Woodruff

They say things get better with age and when it comes to good old-fashioned films I could not agree more In fact one of the most exhilarating thrilling and unexpected mov-ies I have ever seen was made in the early 1960s Even with-out all of the flashy special effects of modern cinematog-raphy this action flick remains one of the best of its kind

Hailing from an era of classic Hollywood glamour ldquoCharaderdquo is an upbeat whodunit-slash-romantic-comedy ndash an interest-ing mix of intense gunfights and mysterious murders inter-spersed with flirty witty ban-ter between a chic heroine and a seductively sly male lead Starring the fabulous Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant ldquoCharaderdquo begins with a mur-der and ends with a love story

The sinister plot is quickly introduced with a dead man being pushed from a train with-out any explanation then after a series of psychedelic opening credits the scenery switches

to the beautiful mountains of a French ski resort where Regina ldquoReggierdquo Lampert (Hepburn) is vacationing with a friend It is here that she first meets the ever-charming Peter Joshua (Grant) with whom she flirts for a bit before returning home

Upon entering her apart-ment Reggie is horrified to discover that her mysterious husband Charles and all of their belongings are gone with-out a trace The police inform her that Charles had sold everything for a very costly sum only to turn up dead by the train tracks the next day We now know that the body thrown off the train at the beginning of the movie was in fact Reggiersquos late husband There is no sign of the money but the police give Reggie what

was left behind by the man she thought she knew several passports a ticket for a boat bound for South America and a letter he had written for her

Things only get stranger when three intimidating fig-ures show up at Charlesrsquo funeral each taking a turn to walk up to the casket and ver-ify that Charles is dead From this point on the plot thick-ens and then escalates out of control as the three men begin harassing Reggie about where the missing money might be As you might have predicted Peter Joshua comes to the res-cue protecting her from these wicked men and their greedy intentions Like any common love story there is a damsel in distress and a good man to save her But is Peter Joshua really a good man Or is he just

another villain waiting for an opportunity to snag the cash and run

Just as a precautionary disclaimer ldquoCharaderdquo has so many plot twists yoursquore likely to feel the effects of whiplash I however found this to be the most impressive part I had a preconceived notion that all old films are predictable with lame humor and lacking any legitimate action scenes After watching this movie I realized just how astronomically wrong I had been in assuming this

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the extreme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits and nervous jitters I found myself trying to gauge the charactersrsquo intentions as good or evil and realized that it was impos-sible By the end of the movie I didnrsquot trust a single one of them When it all fell into place at the end I was shocked but satisfied because there was no way anyone could have predict-ed the dramatic conclusion of such a cinematic masterpiece

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the ex-treme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits

Injured DeAndrew White Dee Hart out for the season

By Alexis PaineStaff Reporter

Concrete and Asphalt Thatrsquos what meets the eye of passers-by when they look at The University of Alabama track facility Itrsquos no longer covered with red rub-ber pellets as it had been since the 1970s Therersquos no grass on the infield as work trucks litter the sight The track team has no home

Hopefully that will all end in November when the University unveils a brand new track and

field facility As a member of the team who will have access to the complex Irsquom not sure how long I will be able to contain my excite-ment It may be strange to think that a venue where I will spend hours a day sweating stressing and sometimes even breaking down is the cause of so much ela-tion But thatrsquos what Irsquom ready for Irsquom ready to lay everything I have out on a brand new track each and every day in order to reach goals I have set for myself Pushing through pain and putting my heart into every sprint jump and

medicine ball circuit is why I go to practice I know my team-mates feel the same

Over the past two years I have seen the track program grow through various changes I was nervous when an entirely new coaching staff moved into the coliseum They were intimidat-ing but the whole team knew it was a positive change There was a new attitude a new work ethic and a new plan

But one of the most excit-ing things was head coach Dan Watersrsquo announcement that

the team will have a brand new state-of-the-art track and field complex It wonrsquot just be your stereotypical rubber surface that sat under the hot Alabama sun for over 40 years The Sam Bailey Track and Field Complex will be outfitted with a Mondo surface Mondo is known for its speed and some of the fastest tracks around the world are made of this materi-al including the track within the London Olympic Stadium which hosted three world records in this summerrsquos games

Every time we hear we will be

competing on a Mondo track we know that we have the opportu-nity to move faster around the track or down the runway So of course itrsquos exciting that we will be able to train on this sur-face every day Wersquore hoping for faster times higher jumps and farther throws As a team we are ready to progress this year with the help of the new facility

The athletic department has shown a commitment to its ath-letes on the track and field team with this construction and the addition of new coaches The

department recognized that the team was struggling and put in an enormous effort to bring the team up to the standard set by a long history of champions at the Capstone This endeavor has allowed me to realize what I want to achieve on the track and I have been given every opportunity to do so

Alexis Paine is a member of The University of Alabamarsquos track and field team and also works as a staff reporter for The Crimson White

POSITION GRADES

Ole Miss loaded up the box to stop the run and held starting running back Eddie Lacy to 82 yards on 19 carries True freshman TJ Yeldon rushed for 40 yards on 10 carries AJ McCarron was efficient through the air completing 22 of 30 pass attempts but for only 180 yards an average of just six yards per attempt

Offense

Christion Jones erased Alabamarsquos first defi-cit of the season in 15 seconds with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown Jeremy Shelley was a perfect 4-4 on field goals Seven of Cade Fosterrsquos eight kickoffs resulted in touchbacks

Special Teams

A+

The Rebelsrsquo no-huddle attack had the Alabama defense on its heels for much of the game Ole Missrsquo two touchdowns came on drives of 13 and 16 plays Three interceptions and five sacks pre-vented the Rebels from scoring with any kind of consistency

Defense

Alabamarsquos defense looked lost at times when the Rebelsrsquo hurry-up offense was in high gear Coaches made the necessary adjustments and came away with the most important result a win

All of my friends recently seem to have gotten into those health apps that are out there now You know the ones where you type in what yoursquove eaten that day and it tells you how many calories yoursquove taken in Irsquove always con-sidered them as telling you more about how bad to feel about your-self and your eating habits but Irsquom beginning to wonder if theyrsquore on to something

Recent findings show that Alabama has the fourth-highest rate of adult obesity in the coun-try As a result many K-12 schools are trying to promote healthier eating and better options in their cafeterias But has that way of thinking translated into our lives here at the University

Between classes grab a snack from the vending machines For lunch head to one of our food courts and eat a bit of Chik-Fil-A In the afternoon meet up with some friends to catch up over Starbucks We are surrounded by temptations all day every day and itrsquos so easy to eat fast food instead of real meals when itrsquos readily available

Especially as a southern school we center our lives and social events around food Instead of just hanging out with friends we go out to eat On game days we have tailgates filled with barbe-cue and every side item imagin-able And what student on UArsquos campus could survive without late-nighting at Quick Grill or Hungry Howiersquos

In many of the dining halls there are calorie and fat counts posted next to each food item so that we can measure our intake in that the University is putting a focus on healthy eating But right next to that are the king-sized candy bars you find at every cash register (yes king-sized Take a look next time)

The problem of healthy eating choices on campus isnrsquot straight-forward After all is it really the Universityrsquos duty to make sure that wersquore choosing the right things to eat Wersquore all adults here so we should in theory have moved past being forced to eat our vegetables But when given the choice between quickly get-ting a pre-made slice of pizza and waiting in line to pay $900 to get inside Fresh Foods Irsquom going to go with the former Unhealthy

foods are increasingly prevalent while simultaneously there seems to be a greater call for healthy liv-ing Our age group wants to be healthier for the most part but the question is how do we do it

Therersquos no easy answer We hear all about eating right and exercising itrsquos not that we donrsquot know but that we donrsquot do On the Universityrsquos behalf they need to focus on providing easy healthy choices and more advertising about healthy living

But on our part we need to

actually pay attention to the Health Hut the posted nutrition information and the resources at the Rec You donrsquot necessar-ily have to count every calorie on your phone to be healthy Rather we should to team up the University and its students to become healthier and provide an example for the rest of the state

My generation has known nothing but war

Wersquove grown up expecting to see updated body counts in the newspapers every day for over a decade Who was killed today Where was he from Declaring war and committing troops to faraway places has become part of the presidentrsquos job descrip-tion it seems

It wasnrsquot always this way But lately how much has US foreign policy really changed from one administration to the next

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney would like you to think that this election is pivotal in shaping the future of America Unfortunately when it comes to foreign policy itrsquos hard to dis-tinguish between the two can-didates And they both have it wrong

A lot of statistics have been thrown around this campaign season Romneyrsquos ldquo47 percentrdquo Occupy Wall Streetrsquos ldquo99 per-centrdquo unemployment above eight percent But the most important number ndash which no one is talking about ndash is that 6500 Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 6500

Each US casualty is not just another stat like GDP or unem-ployment ndash it is an unquantifi-able instance of immense human suffering It is a ruined home a family destroyed a father or daughter lost

Therefore if given a choice between a president who would instantly end this annual mas-sacre of thousands of humans versus a president who might be able to raise GDP by three

percent in eight years who would you choose Yes the econ-omy and health care are impor-tant issues but votersrsquo highest priority should be ending these lethal costly and unwinnable wars What could possibly be more important

Ron Paul was the only seri-ous presidential candidate in recent memory who understood that these war-mongering ten-dencies could spell doom for the American empire Dr Paul understood that US foreign policy since World War II has been tragically flawed and that misguided interventionism is the greatest incentive to expand the already bloated federal govern-ment (almost $1400 billion of tax-payer money has been spent on Iraq and Afghanistan)

What if the US had used that money not to kill but to improve the human race in some way What if our government spent as much time teaching citizens about geography history com-munication and diplomacy as we currently spend training soldiers how to slaughter other humans

Ron Paul understood that ter-rorism is largely a result of the USrsquos repeated over-extension in the Middle East Terrorists donrsquot attack us because we are free and rich and Christian but because we routinely set off bombs in their backyards and kill their family members Even soldiers recognized this earlier in the campaign Paul outstripped all Republican candidates combined in donations from active duty personnel

We must view our foreign policy mistakes with a more reasonable per-spective we must ask ourselves ldquoWhat if

someone else was doing this to usrdquo We must humanize these people Who is the real enemy the Iraqi civilians who yearn only to be left alone or the Washington fear-mongers who spend your hard-earned money on frivolous killing sprees

Although bullies like Palestine Iran and Pakistan undeniably fear strength and toughness they decry the bloodthirsty American notion of strength through oppression Since World War II every ldquowarrdquo the US has fought has inflicted mas-sive civilian casualties murder is indeed the nature of modern warfare Predictably current US strategy in the Middle East goes something like this commit thousands of troops overthrow the government kill civilians and then hope to stop a handful of radical terrorists in a cave from plotting to bring d o w n t h e West

C a l l it the ldquoWar on T e r r o r rdquo ldquoOperation I r a q i F r e e d o m rdquo or whatever Really this is just

government-sponsored and taxpay-er-funded mass murder To most of the world we are the terrorists

But the wars in the Middle East have slipped silently into our national subconscious Itrsquos back-ground noise We are left with two candidates who differ only on the exact number of dollars and lives to be spent before we make our inevi-table dishonorable exit from the Middle East

Ron Paul threw us a life-pre-server in these tragically deep waters And congrats America ndash yoursquove turned away Yoursquove thrown the best presidential candidate in my lifetime off the ballot Yoursquove chosen to continue sinking in debt and drowning in the blood of your countrymen

After reading an article in the New York Times entitled ldquoLast Call for College Barsrdquo I was struck by the closing gap in the differences between British and American night life

Courtney Rubin the journal-ist who had clearly devoted a good few nights to sitting in col-lege bars at Cornell University watching student after student slurp on fish-bowl cocktails and pitchers of dripping beer prob-ably partaking in some form of method writing herself claims that many college bars are going out of business

She comes to the conclusion that social networking and mobile phones have replaced the college bar as an essential meeting place Gone are the days when we had to commit to plans and remember faces and names if we wanted to enjoy the luxury of a social life Now we have begun to spin a web of contacts both real and virtual from the comfort of our own rooms But this isnrsquot the only factor

With college bars closing at two or three at the very latest and students becoming more and more inclined to pre-drink elsewhere until later it simply isnrsquot sustainable for bars to

close this early We are arriv-ing at a cultural crossroads taking a left would mean a slow decay of bar culture and the rise of late night drinking within the realms of campus housing a right would mean a new late night and early morning face to bars around campus as they keep their lights on for a few more hours

Student are creatures of the night For two years I lived a nocturnal life flying through

the streets of Glasgow until the night intersected with the day at a floating and indistinct

angle Morning flooded the skies and by seven or eight I had usu-ally managed to succumb to my own bed The British drink-ing culture embraces the dark hours This means that by

the time I reach a bar or club it is never before midnight

Stereotypes aside laziness is a common denominator for stu-dents almost everywhere and I

put this factor down to my own late night starts but because clubs are open until five or six in England tardiness is accom-modated Here itrsquos a little more difficult I find myself having shorter Fridays and Saturdays dictated by the small piece of cardboard on the door of bars displaying their opening hours

In Tuscaloosa this policy-does not affect the student population so much as the business of the bars them-selves because with a campus of thirty thousand young peo-ple therersquos always some night owls to play with But surely longer opening hours would be an economically beneficial

decision for their owners and would encourage steady drink-ing rather than rushing out to drink quickly before closing time or deciding to stay in which seems to be the current choices for students Itrsquos worth consideration

That said there is still a thriving bar culture here and even if it has to be before mid-night for now Irsquom happy to con-sider the matter further over abeer

Several weeks ago I pointed out the merits of the Affordable Care Act and suggested health care is a natural right I argued our nation should level the playing field for those who cannot afford health care and give them a means to find insurance through a system of cost-sharing by mandating everyone buy insurance given a reasonable price By rewriting the rules of the insurance market the ACA has done that Yet the majority of students campus-wide disagree with the legitimacy of the ACA on ideological grounds

In no other nation has health care fueled such an ideological divide Wersquove been bred in America the land of individualism the home of capitalism What people hear is that the government will force everyone to buy insurance therefore disrupting the free market and distorting competition in health care This affront toward the Affordable Care Act is based in speculation and has little basis in the real world No industrialized educated country today exists where health care operates in a purely free market

If health care is an ordinary commodity then it should be purchased according to the market price without government interference In this case wersquore potentially asking patients to compete in the free market to barter for insurers to pay for their medication and treatment This is ldquocompetitionrdquo in the traditional sense

The cost of health is priceless I was ill for a long time Irsquod pay anything to ensure I donrsquot revert back to that state Needless to say capitalism will take advantage of that fact You will find few insurance companies who want to ensure the sick Moreover pharmaceutical companies find it easy to charge any price for life-saving medication When it comes to true illness and disease the patient has little choice in the matter The doctor prescribes The patientrsquos insurer buys

Is the government really to blame in this provid-er-patient-insurer exchange The price of specific treatment and medication is not fixed but rather fluctuating and agreed upon If two women were to deliver a child at the same hospital with the exact same treatment bed and procedure they each would receive separate bills with separate prices In the background each patientrsquos insurer agrees upon a different price with the hospital In other words because the patient is insulated from the purchase a traditional free market cannot exist and govern-ment regulation is necessary to protect the patient

We can point many fingers about the cost con-tainment issue Many argue patients have no incentive to seek lower cost options because their insurance or the government foots the bill In many circumstances the patient cannot meaningfully access ldquogoodrdquo health care He or she is prescribed a treatment or hospitalized ndash take it or leave it When it comes to life and death health care cannot be approached as a commodity that forces patients to shop for insurers and treatments

As most other educated nations have real-ized an element of shared responsibility which pools responsibility becomes the only practical approach to health care Letrsquos look at the situation in Massachusetts a state thatrsquos already implemented its version of the individual mandate Massachusetts has seen emergency room visits decline by 5ndash8 as a result of their version of the individual mandate A 2010 study by the nonpartisan Urban Institute stated 981 of state residents held insurance after the bill

Western European nations Japan Singapore and others guarantee their citizens equal access to health care wersquore now beginning to see that guaran-tee sprout in the States

The Affordable Care Act appears to address many of the problems with the health care industry today It is a bill centered in compromise repeal-ing it would set us back a long ways To guarantee health care for all while simultaneously controlling cost we must implement innovative experimental regulated reform that moves past ideology as many other industrialized nations have already done

For many students fall break is an opportunity to go home for the first time dur-ing the school year or stay in Tuscaloosa and get ahead on schoolwork and studies Some students however use this opportunity to give back travel and try things that time constraints may usually keep them from doing

For students interested in spending time giving back the Community Service Center offers an Alternative Break for students Alternative Break is an opportunity for students to go to another community and engage in intensive service said Wahnee Sherman direc-tor of the Community Service Center

ldquoAlternative Break is a great way for students to give back to another community wheth-er in our state in the region or internationallyrdquo Sherman said ldquoStudents can spend their time off from classes in a pro-ductive way engaging in mean-ingful servicerdquo

The trip aims to inform stu-dents of issues other communi-ties face providing a broader

view of community serviceldquoThe Community Service

Center has a large amount of community service opportuni-ties for UA students that can connect them to Tuscaloosardquo Libby Loveless student direc-tor of Alternative Break said ldquoWe also believe that students should experience other com-munities and cultures outside of Tuscaloosa We facilitate these learning and service experiences so that students can get a taste of other places especially the social issues that are prevalent in the locationsrdquo

The Community Service Center expects about 20 stu-dents to participate in the fall Alternative Break which will take place in Huntsville Ala

ldquoWe hope these students will build strong relationships with each other learn more about other communities in Alabama and make a differ-ence in the communities we work inrdquo Sherman said

For other students fall break means a chance to catch up on schoolwork and catch a breath during the semester

LaJoya Reed a sophomore majoring in public relations said shersquos going to use her fall break to prepare for the end of

the semesterldquoIrsquoll be catching up on work

and sleeping inrdquo Reed said ldquoI need to prepare myself for the coming weeksrdquo

Others are taking the rare break to relax and spend time doing things that students donrsquot always have time for with such busy schedules

Malcolm Harper a junior majoring in biology said he plans to spend his time relax-ing

ldquoIrsquom going to a pajama party and wersquore going to watch Netflixrdquo he said

For some students fall break

means adventures for which there would otherwise not be time

Erin Smith a sophomore majoring in history will be going to the beach during fall break and then skydiving on the way home something she and her friends have all want-ed to check off their to-do list

ldquoMy friends and I wanted to try something adventur-ous and itrsquos something wersquove all always wanted to dordquo Smith said ldquoTherersquos a place in Cullman that offers student and group discounts that wersquoll be able to take advantage ofrdquo

The Honors College Assembly has brought back its ldquoHCA Talksrdquo sessions for students interested in learn-ing about and discussing top-ics they may not be offered inthe classroom

HCA Talks is a program dedicated to giving all students on campus an opportunity to explore their interests even if the interest is not related to studentrsquos classes Students who attend the session are able to hear a lecture and have a conversation with the professor and other students who attend

Austin Lafferty HCA execu-tive vice president and founder of HCA Talks said he thinks students should have a way to intelligently discuss top-ics of their choice and explore what interests them no mat-ter what their field of study is He described the talks as giving students an opportu-nity to branch out of their own field or to get even deeper into something that theyrsquore already studying

ldquoSay yoursquore a biology major and all you are ever really tak-ing are biology classesrdquo said Lafferty a senior majoring in philosophy ldquoIf we have a [HCA Talk] on whether or not higher education is a right or a privi-lege that might be a topic you may be interested in but do not necessarily get in your classesrdquo

Lafferty credits his inspi-ration to begin HCA Talks to videos from TedTalks a web-site with videos of experts from around the world giving presentations on atypical top-ics they are passionate about After watching the videos Lafferty decided to bring some-thing similar to campus

ldquoI thought lsquoyou know thatrsquos really interestingrsquordquo he said

From there HCA Talks began

ldquoWhen I started I looked for university professors that were both knowledgeable and

passionate about somethingthat the students would findinterestingrdquo Lafferty saidldquoSomething interesting orsomething controversial within[the professorrsquos] field of studyrdquo

Since then the HCA Talkshave continued with discus-sions that have been receivedenthusiastically by both thestudents and professors

ldquoThe professors contactus with something theyrsquoreinterested inrdquo Lafferty saidldquoWe make sure it is some-thing the professors are reallyenthusiastic aboutrdquo

This year Molly Olmsteaddirector of academic engage-ment for HCA is in charge oforganizing the sessions forHCA Talks There has alreadybeen one session this semesterldquoHuman Computationrdquo pre-sented by Jeff Gray an asso-ciate professor in the depart-ment of computer science

Robert Cayaban the assis-tant director of academicengagement for HCA helpswith the HCA Talks and saidhe believes it is useful toall students

ldquoI think HCA Talks is a greatway for students to foster dis-cussion and connect infor-mally with faculty and peersin an engaging and warmingatmosphererdquo Cayaban said ajunior double majoring in civilengineering and new college ldquoIhope that more students wouldtake this opportunity to engagein scholarly discussion outsidethe classroomrdquo

Lessons branch out with lsquoTalksrsquo

In addition to free group exercise classes the University Recreation Center also offers a variety of paid classes that pro-vide students with access to dif-ferent machines and more indi-vidual attention from trainers One of these classes is Pilates Reformer

Unlike traditional mat Pilates Pilates Reformer uses a machine to add resistance Reformer instructor Jamie Lambert who also teaches mat Pilates and water aerobics com-pares the workout to a combina-tion of mat Pilates and weight training The spring-loaded Reformer machine offers resis-tance that provides a full-body workout that differs from the bodily-generated resistance used in mat Pilates

ldquoYou get more strength training versus the mat Pilates online Unless you incorporate straps or bands or rings [in mat Pilates] your body is doing its own work [In Reformer] we can isolate a certain muscle while still letting the whole body workrdquo Lambert said

Lambert teaches classes to a variety of age groups and says the workout is something peo-ple of most ability levels can do She also said the Reformer class has the therapeutic benefit of preventing future injury and

relieving existing painldquoI enjoy teaching [Reformer]

to college students because I know Irsquom giving them an exer-cise thatrsquos only going to benefit them in the futurerdquo Lambert said ldquoWith my community population they might have aches and pains coming in and I may get a phone call that says lsquoI havenrsquot had to take an ibuprofen in over a weekrsquordquo

Though the Pilates Reformer class is not free the rate for the class at the Rec is still lower than it would be in a typical gym Instead of charging $20 to $40 per class for individuals the typical rate for a Reformer class the cost is $15 per class for students and $20 for non-students The Rec also offers a group rate of $45 per class for groups of three to six people The cost is divided amongst the group so the cost could be as low as $750 per class

Students can get a taste of the Reformer class with the free introductory class provided by the Rec Commitment to the class is on a month to month basis so participants can opt out of the class if they are not satisfied

Paid classes like Reformer tend to be smaller than free classes giving participants more individual attention from the trainer and the trainer the ability to cater to individual needs

ldquo[In a large class] I canrsquot walk around and stare at all 30 people In here each machine has its own springs so I can put one [person] on heavier springs while another might be on lighter springsrdquo Lambert said ldquoYoursquore able to get an exer-cise completely specific to your bodyrdquo

Sarah Lecher a junior major-ing in communication stud-ies has been taking Pilates Reformer for almost two years She began taking mat Pilates classes with Lambert and after a free introductory Reformer class became hooked on the workout

ldquoI really love Pilates in gen-eral but [Reformer is] a lot dif-ferent because yoursquore using springs for resistance versus your own body You can do certain exercises like going

overhead that you wouldnrsquot be able to do with your own bodyrdquo Lecher said ldquo[Reformer] is a lot more addictive [than mat] Pilates and you see results fast-errdquo

Despite the benefits of the paid classes the cost and com-mitment keeps some students from participating Hannah Vander Maas a junior major-ing in history and economics regularly attends the free mat Pilates class offered by the Rec She said the free classes suit her needs enough not to need paid classes

ldquoI wouldnrsquot [take a paid class] because the free classes are at a convenient time and theyrsquore never fullrdquo Vander Maas said

Minimalism in art terms is the purging of all expression from a piece and a focus on the process and concept of design In essence it is the antithesis of Abstract Expressionism a movement accurately described by its name In fashion terms minimalism is similar but the focus is placed on the simplistic and modernist appearance of the clothes

For example a color palette of all white or all black would be minimalist in nature Pieces with sharp tailored lines or pieces with neutral color blocking would also qualify as minimalist

Now Irsquom not here to lecture you on art history or tell you to walk outside in a solid color pal-ette Yoursquore in college have fun with your clothes and express yourself but also experiment Walking around in a crisp black ensemble is not only chic but it will make more than a few heads turn ndash in a good way The outfit based on a highly regarded art movement makes you look intel-ligent and widely read

Jil Sanderrsquos spring 2013 collec-tion was based on the concept of minimalism Fashion colum-nists speculate as to the sudden purging of the linersquos expres-sive nature Many believe that Sander who took an eight-year hiatus from her company was reclaiming the creative vision of her label and effectively eradi-cating the designs of Raf Simons ldquoReset to zerordquo was even the first line in the showrsquos program

Sanderrsquos Minimalist theme was done with an all white color palette and masculine forms

Her skirts were cut severely and although pastel polka dots were included in some of the pieces the overall collection remained very basic and very clean

As to how this can apply to someone at the University with-out the budget for a Jil Sanderrsquos piece itrsquos simpler than you think Like I said color-blocking neu-trals is a perfect way to achieve minimalism in your look navy black white grey ndash all of these colors are ideal Steer away from ornate designs or patterns busy prints and glitzy accessories

If this sounds slightly appeal-ing conceptually but boring in reality no worries Your mini-malist look can be more personal with the inclusion of a bold state-ment piece Grab a primary blue bag to make your black outfit pop ndash black and primary blue is one of my favorite combinations Or add a soft chocolate-colored knee-high boot to your colored blocked attire Adding these pieces reduce the severity of your minimalist look and allow you to retain your personality and fun

I know a minimalist look isnrsquot for everyone and Irsquom not trying to make you look like a stuffy businesswoman who needs to get out of her high-rise office That being said sometimes an outfit looks more complete if therersquos a cognitive thought behind why it was put together

If you want to try this mini-malist approach to style but donrsquot know where to begin start simple with the advice of the late Coco Chanel ldquoBefore leaving the house a lady should stop look in the mirror and remove one piece of jewelryrdquo

lsquoCharadersquo an example of intense old-fashioned fi lmBy Dana Woodruff

They say things get better with age and when it comes to good old-fashioned films I could not agree more In fact one of the most exhilarating thrilling and unexpected mov-ies I have ever seen was made in the early 1960s Even with-out all of the flashy special effects of modern cinematog-raphy this action flick remains one of the best of its kind

Hailing from an era of classic Hollywood glamour ldquoCharaderdquo is an upbeat whodunit-slash-romantic-comedy ndash an interest-ing mix of intense gunfights and mysterious murders inter-spersed with flirty witty ban-ter between a chic heroine and a seductively sly male lead Starring the fabulous Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant ldquoCharaderdquo begins with a mur-der and ends with a love story

The sinister plot is quickly introduced with a dead man being pushed from a train with-out any explanation then after a series of psychedelic opening credits the scenery switches

to the beautiful mountains of a French ski resort where Regina ldquoReggierdquo Lampert (Hepburn) is vacationing with a friend It is here that she first meets the ever-charming Peter Joshua (Grant) with whom she flirts for a bit before returning home

Upon entering her apart-ment Reggie is horrified to discover that her mysterious husband Charles and all of their belongings are gone with-out a trace The police inform her that Charles had sold everything for a very costly sum only to turn up dead by the train tracks the next day We now know that the body thrown off the train at the beginning of the movie was in fact Reggiersquos late husband There is no sign of the money but the police give Reggie what

was left behind by the man she thought she knew several passports a ticket for a boat bound for South America and a letter he had written for her

Things only get stranger when three intimidating fig-ures show up at Charlesrsquo funeral each taking a turn to walk up to the casket and ver-ify that Charles is dead From this point on the plot thick-ens and then escalates out of control as the three men begin harassing Reggie about where the missing money might be As you might have predicted Peter Joshua comes to the res-cue protecting her from these wicked men and their greedy intentions Like any common love story there is a damsel in distress and a good man to save her But is Peter Joshua really a good man Or is he just

another villain waiting for an opportunity to snag the cash and run

Just as a precautionary disclaimer ldquoCharaderdquo has so many plot twists yoursquore likely to feel the effects of whiplash I however found this to be the most impressive part I had a preconceived notion that all old films are predictable with lame humor and lacking any legitimate action scenes After watching this movie I realized just how astronomically wrong I had been in assuming this

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the extreme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits and nervous jitters I found myself trying to gauge the charactersrsquo intentions as good or evil and realized that it was impos-sible By the end of the movie I didnrsquot trust a single one of them When it all fell into place at the end I was shocked but satisfied because there was no way anyone could have predict-ed the dramatic conclusion of such a cinematic masterpiece

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the ex-treme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits

Injured DeAndrew White Dee Hart out for the season

Concrete and Asphalt Thatrsquos what meets the eye of passers-by when they look at The University of Alabama track facility Itrsquos no longer covered with red rub-ber pellets as it had been since the 1970s Therersquos no grass on the infield as work trucks litter the sight The track team has no home

Hopefully that will all end in November when the University unveils a brand new track and

medicine ball circuit is why I go to practice I know my team-mates feel the same

Over the past two years I have seen the track program grow through various changes I was nervous when an entirely new coaching staff moved into the coliseum They were intimidat-ing but the whole team knew it was a positive change There was a new attitude a new work ethic and a new plan

But one of the most excit-ing things was head coach Dan Watersrsquo announcement that

the team will have a brand new state-of-the-art track and field complex It wonrsquot just be your stereotypical rubber surface that sat under the hot Alabama sun for over 40 years The Sam Bailey Track and Field Complex will be outfitted with a Mondo surface Mondo is known for its speed and some of the fastest tracks around the world are made of this materi-al including the track within the London Olympic Stadium which hosted three world records in this summerrsquos games

Every time we hear we will be

competing on a Mondo track we know that we have the opportu-nity to move faster around the track or down the runway So of course itrsquos exciting that we will be able to train on this sur-face every day Wersquore hoping for faster times higher jumps and farther throws As a team we are ready to progress this year with the help of the new facility

The athletic department has shown a commitment to its ath-letes on the track and field team with this construction and the addition of new coaches The

department recognized that the team was struggling and put in an enormous effort to bring the team up to the standard set by a long history of champions at the Capstone This endeavor has allowed me to realize what I want to achieve on the track and I have been given every opportunity to do so

For many students fall break is an opportunity to go home for the first time dur-ing the school year or stay in Tuscaloosa and get ahead on schoolwork and studies Some students however use this opportunity to give back travel and try things that time constraints may usually keep them from doing

For students interested in spending time giving back the Community Service Center offers an Alternative Break for students Alternative Break is an opportunity for students to go to another community and engage in intensive service said Wahnee Sherman direc-tor of the Community Service Center

ldquoAlternative Break is a great way for students to give back to another community wheth-er in our state in the region or internationallyrdquo Sherman said ldquoStudents can spend their time off from classes in a pro-ductive way engaging in mean-ingful servicerdquo

The trip aims to inform stu-dents of issues other communi-ties face providing a broader

view of community serviceldquoThe Community Service

Center has a large amount of community service opportuni-ties for UA students that can connect them to Tuscaloosardquo Libby Loveless student direc-tor of Alternative Break said ldquoWe also believe that students should experience other com-munities and cultures outside of Tuscaloosa We facilitate these learning and service experiences so that students can get a taste of other places especially the social issues that are prevalent in the locationsrdquo

The Community Service Center expects about 20 stu-dents to participate in the fall Alternative Break which will take place in Huntsville Ala

ldquoWe hope these students will build strong relationships with each other learn more about other communities in Alabama and make a differ-ence in the communities we work inrdquo Sherman said

For other students fall break means a chance to catch up on schoolwork and catch a breath during the semester

LaJoya Reed a sophomore majoring in public relations said shersquos going to use her fall break to prepare for the end of

the semesterldquoIrsquoll be catching up on work

and sleeping inrdquo Reed said ldquoI need to prepare myself for the coming weeksrdquo

Others are taking the rare break to relax and spend time doing things that students donrsquot always have time for with such busy schedules

Malcolm Harper a junior majoring in biology said he plans to spend his time relax-ing

ldquoIrsquom going to a pajama party and wersquore going to watch Netflixrdquo he said

For some students fall break

means adventures for which there would otherwise not be time

Erin Smith a sophomore majoring in history will be going to the beach during fall break and then skydiving on the way home something she and her friends have all want-ed to check off their to-do list

ldquoMy friends and I wanted to try something adventur-ous and itrsquos something wersquove all always wanted to dordquo Smith said ldquoTherersquos a place in Cullman that offers student and group discounts that wersquoll be able to take advantage ofrdquo

The Honors College Assembly has brought back its ldquoHCA Talksrdquo sessions for students interested in learn-ing about and discussing top-ics they may not be offered inthe classroom

HCA Talks is a program dedicated to giving all students on campus an opportunity to explore their interests even if the interest is not related to studentrsquos classes Students who attend the session are able to hear a lecture and have a conversation with the professor and other students who attend

Austin Lafferty HCA execu-tive vice president and founder of HCA Talks said he thinks students should have a way to intelligently discuss top-ics of their choice and explore what interests them no mat-ter what their field of study is He described the talks as giving students an opportu-nity to branch out of their own field or to get even deeper into something that theyrsquore already studying

ldquoSay yoursquore a biology major and all you are ever really tak-ing are biology classesrdquo said Lafferty a senior majoring in philosophy ldquoIf we have a [HCA Talk] on whether or not higher education is a right or a privi-lege that might be a topic you may be interested in but do not necessarily get in your classesrdquo

Lafferty credits his inspi-ration to begin HCA Talks to videos from TedTalks a web-site with videos of experts from around the world giving presentations on atypical top-ics they are passionate about After watching the videos Lafferty decided to bring some-thing similar to campus

ldquoI thought lsquoyou know thatrsquos really interestingrsquordquo he said

From there HCA Talks began

ldquoWhen I started I looked for university professors that were both knowledgeable and

passionate about somethingthat the students would findinterestingrdquo Lafferty saidldquoSomething interesting orsomething controversial within[the professorrsquos] field of studyrdquo

Since then the HCA Talkshave continued with discus-sions that have been receivedenthusiastically by both thestudents and professors

ldquoThe professors contactus with something theyrsquoreinterested inrdquo Lafferty saidldquoWe make sure it is some-thing the professors are reallyenthusiastic aboutrdquo

This year Molly Olmsteaddirector of academic engage-ment for HCA is in charge oforganizing the sessions forHCA Talks There has alreadybeen one session this semesterldquoHuman Computationrdquo pre-sented by Jeff Gray an asso-ciate professor in the depart-ment of computer science

Robert Cayaban the assis-tant director of academicengagement for HCA helpswith the HCA Talks and saidhe believes it is useful toall students

ldquoI think HCA Talks is a greatway for students to foster dis-cussion and connect infor-mally with faculty and peersin an engaging and warmingatmosphererdquo Cayaban said ajunior double majoring in civilengineering and new college ldquoIhope that more students wouldtake this opportunity to engagein scholarly discussion outsidethe classroomrdquo

The topics for the rest ofthe semesterrsquos upcoming ses-sions are ldquoQuarks Higgs andMultiverse Physics Looks tothe Next Universerdquo the topicof new energy and the futureof energy ldquoPolitical Economyof Placerdquo and ldquoThe USrsquosHealthcare Puzzlerdquo

The dates of these sessionsare respectively Oct 10 Oct17 Nov 14 and Nov 28 Eachsession will be held at 630 pmin the Riverside CommunityCenter For more informationcontact Molly Olmstead atmlolmsteadcrimsonuaedu

Lessons branch out with lsquoTalksrsquo

By Courtney StinsonStaff Reporter

In addition to free group exercise classes the University Recreation Center also offers a variety of paid classes that pro-vide students with access to dif-ferent machines and more indi-vidual attention from trainers One of these classes is Pilates Reformer

Unlike traditional mat Pilates Pilates Reformer uses a machine to add resistance Reformer instructor Jamie Lambert who also teaches mat Pilates and water aerobics com-pares the workout to a combina-tion of mat Pilates and weight training The spring-loaded Reformer machine offers resis-tance that provides a full-body workout that differs from the bodily-generated resistance used in mat Pilates

ldquoYou get more strength training versus the mat Pilates online Unless you incorporate straps or bands or rings [in mat Pilates] your body is doing its own work [In Reformer] we can isolate a certain muscle while still letting the whole body workrdquo Lambert said

Lambert teaches classes to a variety of age groups and says the workout is something peo-ple of most ability levels can do She also said the Reformer class has the therapeutic benefit of preventing future injury and

relieving existing painldquoI enjoy teaching [Reformer]

to college students because I know Irsquom giving them an exer-cise thatrsquos only going to benefit them in the futurerdquo Lambert said ldquoWith my community population they might have aches and pains coming in and I may get a phone call that says lsquoI havenrsquot had to take an ibuprofen in over a weekrsquordquo

Though the Pilates Reformer class is not free the rate for the class at the Rec is still lower than it would be in a typical gym Instead of charging $20 to $40 per class for individuals the typical rate for a Reformer class the cost is $15 per class for students and $20 for non-students The Rec also offers a group rate of $45 per class for groups of three to six people The cost is divided amongst the group so the cost could be as low as $750 per class

Students can get a taste of the Reformer class with the free introductory class provided by the Rec Commitment to the class is on a month to month basis so participants can opt out of the class if they are not satisfied

Paid classes like Reformer tend to be smaller than free classes giving participants more individual attention from the trainer and the trainer the ability to cater to individual needs

ldquo[In a large class] I canrsquot walk around and stare at all 30 people In here each machine has its own springs so I can put one [person] on heavier springs while another might be on lighter springsrdquo Lambert said ldquoYoursquore able to get an exer-cise completely specific to your bodyrdquo

Sarah Lecher a junior major-ing in communication stud-ies has been taking Pilates Reformer for almost two years She began taking mat Pilates classes with Lambert and after a free introductory Reformer class became hooked on the workout

ldquoI really love Pilates in gen-eral but [Reformer is] a lot dif-ferent because yoursquore using springs for resistance versus your own body You can do certain exercises like going

overhead that you wouldnrsquot be able to do with your own bodyrdquo Lecher said ldquo[Reformer] is a lot more addictive [than mat] Pilates and you see results fast-errdquo

Despite the benefits of the paid classes the cost and com-mitment keeps some students from participating Hannah Vander Maas a junior major-ing in history and economics regularly attends the free mat Pilates class offered by the Rec She said the free classes suit her needs enough not to need paid classes

ldquoI wouldnrsquot [take a paid class] because the free classes are at a convenient time and theyrsquore never fullrdquo Vander Maas said

Minimalism in art terms is the purging of all expression from a piece and a focus on the process and concept of design In essence it is the antithesis of Abstract Expressionism a movement accurately described by its name In fashion terms minimalism is similar but the focus is placed on the simplistic and modernist appearance of the clothes

For example a color palette of all white or all black would be minimalist in nature Pieces with sharp tailored lines or pieces with neutral color blocking would also qualify as minimalist

Now Irsquom not here to lecture you on art history or tell you to walk outside in a solid color pal-ette Yoursquore in college have fun with your clothes and express yourself but also experiment Walking around in a crisp black ensemble is not only chic but it will make more than a few heads turn ndash in a good way The outfit based on a highly regarded art movement makes you look intel-ligent and widely read

Jil Sanderrsquos spring 2013 collec-tion was based on the concept of minimalism Fashion colum-nists speculate as to the sudden purging of the linersquos expres-sive nature Many believe that Sander who took an eight-year hiatus from her company was reclaiming the creative vision of her label and effectively eradi-cating the designs of Raf Simons ldquoReset to zerordquo was even the first line in the showrsquos program

Sanderrsquos Minimalist theme was done with an all white color palette and masculine forms

Her skirts were cut severely and although pastel polka dots were included in some of the pieces the overall collection remained very basic and very clean

As to how this can apply to someone at the University with-out the budget for a Jil Sanderrsquos piece itrsquos simpler than you think Like I said color-blocking neu-trals is a perfect way to achieve minimalism in your look navy black white grey ndash all of these colors are ideal Steer away from ornate designs or patterns busy prints and glitzy accessories

If this sounds slightly appeal-ing conceptually but boring in reality no worries Your mini-malist look can be more personal with the inclusion of a bold state-ment piece Grab a primary blue bag to make your black outfit pop ndash black and primary blue is one of my favorite combinations Or add a soft chocolate-colored knee-high boot to your colored blocked attire Adding these pieces reduce the severity of your minimalist look and allow you to retain your personality and fun

I know a minimalist look isnrsquot for everyone and Irsquom not trying to make you look like a stuffy businesswoman who needs to get out of her high-rise office That being said sometimes an outfit looks more complete if therersquos a cognitive thought behind why it was put together

If you want to try this mini-malist approach to style but donrsquot know where to begin start simple with the advice of the late Coco Chanel ldquoBefore leaving the house a lady should stop look in the mirror and remove one piece of jewelryrdquo

lsquoCharadersquo an example of intense old-fashioned fi lmBy Dana Woodruff

They say things get better with age and when it comes to good old-fashioned films I could not agree more In fact one of the most exhilarating thrilling and unexpected mov-ies I have ever seen was made in the early 1960s Even with-out all of the flashy special effects of modern cinematog-raphy this action flick remains one of the best of its kind

Hailing from an era of classic Hollywood glamour ldquoCharaderdquo is an upbeat whodunit-slash-romantic-comedy ndash an interest-ing mix of intense gunfights and mysterious murders inter-spersed with flirty witty ban-ter between a chic heroine and a seductively sly male lead Starring the fabulous Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant ldquoCharaderdquo begins with a mur-der and ends with a love story

The sinister plot is quickly introduced with a dead man being pushed from a train with-out any explanation then after a series of psychedelic opening credits the scenery switches

to the beautiful mountains of a French ski resort where Regina ldquoReggierdquo Lampert (Hepburn) is vacationing with a friend It is here that she first meets the ever-charming Peter Joshua (Grant) with whom she flirts for a bit before returning home

Upon entering her apart-ment Reggie is horrified to discover that her mysterious husband Charles and all of their belongings are gone with-out a trace The police inform her that Charles had sold everything for a very costly sum only to turn up dead by the train tracks the next day We now know that the body thrown off the train at the beginning of the movie was in fact Reggiersquos late husband There is no sign of the money but the police give Reggie what

was left behind by the man she thought she knew several passports a ticket for a boat bound for South America and a letter he had written for her

Things only get stranger when three intimidating fig-ures show up at Charlesrsquo funeral each taking a turn to walk up to the casket and ver-ify that Charles is dead From this point on the plot thick-ens and then escalates out of control as the three men begin harassing Reggie about where the missing money might be As you might have predicted Peter Joshua comes to the res-cue protecting her from these wicked men and their greedy intentions Like any common love story there is a damsel in distress and a good man to save her But is Peter Joshua really a good man Or is he just

another villain waiting for an opportunity to snag the cash and run

Just as a precautionary disclaimer ldquoCharaderdquo has so many plot twists yoursquore likely to feel the effects of whiplash I however found this to be the most impressive part I had a preconceived notion that all old films are predictable with lame humor and lacking any legitimate action scenes After watching this movie I realized just how astronomically wrong I had been in assuming this

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the extreme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits and nervous jitters I found myself trying to gauge the charactersrsquo intentions as good or evil and realized that it was impos-sible By the end of the movie I didnrsquot trust a single one of them When it all fell into place at the end I was shocked but satisfied because there was no way anyone could have predict-ed the dramatic conclusion of such a cinematic masterpiece

ldquoCharaderdquo is anything but predictable itrsquos sharp and witty to the ex-treme and jam-packed with intensity that leads to sweaty armpits

The University of Alabama announced that running back Dee Hart and wide receiver DeAndrew White will miss the remainder of the season with knee injuries

Injured DeAndrew White Dee Hart out for the season

Concrete and Asphalt Thatrsquos what meets the eye of passers-by when they look at The University of Alabama track facility Itrsquos no longer covered with red rub-ber pellets as it had been since the 1970s Therersquos no grass on the infield as work trucks litter the sight The track team has no home

Hopefully that will all end in November when the University unveils a brand new track and

The University of Alabama announced that running back Dee Hart and wide receiver DeAndrew White will miss the remainder of the season with knee injuries

ldquoThe MRI indicated that both Dee and DeAndrew sustained knee injuries that will require surgery and they will be out for the yearrdquo head coach Nick Saban said in a statement

Hart sustained his injury during the second half The red shirt freshman missed all of the 2011 season after suffering a torn ACL Hartrsquos injury leaves Alabama with only three run-ning backs on scholarships Eddie Lacy true freshmen TJ Yeldon and Kenyan Drake The Crimson Tidersquos running back depth has taken a serious hit as sophomore Jalston Fowler was also lost for the year after suffering a knee injury that will require surgery

Hart was the third string running back and a special teams standout for the Tide Drake is expected to fill in for Hart on offense

White sustained his injury on Alabamarsquos opening drive White was the starting receiver opposite Kevin Norwood The speedster had accounted for 105 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches

True freshman Amari Cooper along with Kenny Bell and Christion Jones will step

in for White Six Alabama players were

recognized by the coaching staff for their performances following Saturdayrsquos 33-14 vic-tory over Ole Miss Amari Cooper and DJ Fluker were named players of the week on offense while Dee Milliner and CJ Mosley were named on defense On special teams Christion Jones and Jeremy Shelley were selected

Cooper caught eight passes for 84 yards and had two touch-downs Fluker was honored for the second straight week as the top performer on the offensive line

Mosley has been recognized following all five games this

season leading the Tide with 11 total tackles against the Rebels The junior linebacker has a team-high 39 stops on the season Milliner was credited with four tackles an intercep-tion four pass break-ups and half of a sack Milliner leads the nation with an average of 275 pass break-ups per game

On special teams Jones had the first kickoff return for a touchdown for the Tide since Trent Richardson on Sept 18 2010 The 99-yard kickoff return erased a 7-6 Ole Miss lead and was the eighth longest in school history Jones who was also honored as SEC Special Teams Player of the Week finished the day with 161 all-purpose

yards (142 yards on three kick-off returns and two catches for 19 yards) Shelley was perfect on all four of his field goal triesin the victory He made a pair of 38-yard kicks in the first quar-ter and finished the game withfield goals of 26 and 24 yards in the fourth quarter He has con-nected on all seven of his field goal attempts this year and all 24 of his extra points

Injured DeAndrew White Dee Hart out for the season

By Alexis PaineStaff Reporter

Concrete and Asphalt Thatrsquos what meets the eye of passers-by when they look at The University of Alabama track facility Itrsquos no longer covered with red rub-ber pellets as it had been since the 1970s Therersquos no grass on the infield as work trucks litter the sight The track team has no home

Hopefully that will all end in November when the University unveils a brand new track and

field facility As a member of the team who will have access to the complex Irsquom not sure how long I will be able to contain my excite-ment It may be strange to think that a venue where I will spend hours a day sweating stressing and sometimes even breaking down is the cause of so much ela-tion But thatrsquos what Irsquom ready for Irsquom ready to lay everything I have out on a brand new track each and every day in order to reach goals I have set for myself Pushing through pain and putting my heart into every sprint jump and

medicine ball circuit is why I go to practice I know my team-mates feel the same

Over the past two years I have seen the track program grow through various changes I was nervous when an entirely new coaching staff moved into the coliseum They were intimidat-ing but the whole team knew it was a positive change There was a new attitude a new work ethic and a new plan

But one of the most excit-ing things was head coach Dan Watersrsquo announcement that

the team will have a brand new state-of-the-art track and field complex It wonrsquot just be your stereotypical rubber surface that sat under the hot Alabama sun for over 40 years The Sam Bailey Track and Field Complex will be outfitted with a Mondo surface Mondo is known for its speed and some of the fastest tracks around the world are made of this materi-al including the track within the London Olympic Stadium which hosted three world records in this summerrsquos games

Every time we hear we will be

competing on a Mondo track we know that we have the opportu-nity to move faster around the track or down the runway So of course itrsquos exciting that we will be able to train on this sur-face every day Wersquore hoping for faster times higher jumps and farther throws As a team we are ready to progress this year with the help of the new facility

The athletic department has shown a commitment to its ath-letes on the track and field team with this construction and the addition of new coaches The

department recognized that the team was struggling and put in an enormous effort to bring the team up to the standard set by a long history of champions at the Capstone This endeavor has allowed me to realize what I want to achieve on the track and I have been given every opportunity to do so

Alexis Paine is a member of The University of Alabamarsquos track and field team and also works as a staff reporter for The Crimson White

Team excited for opening of new track facility
