We really want people just to focus on academics and focus on being successful in the classroom.” Hebson also discussed the importance of self-reporting of hazing among sororities and fraternities and the non- punitive effects of the medi- cal amnesty policy. Houses involved in instances of self- reporting will have a suspend- ed pledge program until the report is looked into, and any- one who takes a drunken or hurt friend to the hospital will not be in trouble with Judicial Affairs, he said. “That’s because [there is] zero tolerance for hazing here at The University of Alabama,” Hebson said. “That’s not some- thing we tolerate.

Newby said the Air Force ROTC not only instilled a sense of structure and respect for authority in him but also marked his entrance into the military ldquofraternityrdquo facilitating a multitude of friendships
ldquoTheyrsquore strong bonds we haverdquo Newby said ldquoItrsquos actu-ally very comparable to the friendships I formed through football in high schoolrdquo
Philip Stephenson a junior majoring in management information systems said his whole family was in the mili-tary and his mother is cur-rently in the Air Force
He said he likes the variety of extra-curricular activi-ties and community service opportunities cadets could take part in and its facilita-tion of a light-hearted rivalry with the Army ROTC detach-ment on campus such as their competition during the Beat Auburn Beat Hunger drive last year and annual football game
Stevenson also recalled some of his own misconcep-tions about the Air Force ROTC
ldquoI was unaware going in just how dynamic the Air Force isrdquo Stevenson said ldquoIn fact many facets of the force are on the groundrdquo
Richard Ledson a sopho-more majoring in mechanical engineering learned how to fly before he learned how to drive His grandfather was a plane mechanic in Florida and Ledson said he knew he wanted to become a pilot Intrigued by the prospect of entering college as a high school senior and leaving as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force and possibly a pilot he joined the Air Force ROTC
ldquoI have a lot more deter-mination and focusrdquo Ledson said ldquoTherersquos a lot of respon-sibility to being an ROTC cadet beyond just having to be a college studentrdquo
This holds true for Ledson who is a General Military Course advisor working with cadets undergoing their ini-tial training and a training officer of the honors society He said he hoped his efforts would elevate him forward into the physically and men-tally pressing field training during the summer after his sophomore year when a com-mitment to joining the Air Force begins for cadets not under scholarship
ldquoI donrsquot think Irsquod have the same focused mind-set if I werenrsquot a cadetrdquo
Ledson saidLedson said that from an
outsiderrsquos perspective some of drills and exercises they undergo publicly may seem odd goofy or perhaps fright-ening but knows the purpose and importance of all of their tasks
ldquoItrsquos really that wersquore striv-ing to better ourselvesrdquo Ledson said
Zac McMillian a sopho-more majoring in MIS and history lived with Ledson during their freshman year in Ridgecrest South Having attended a West Point camp the summer before he said he had seen the dedication and hard work of military affiliated students but was uncertain if his soon-to-be Air Force ROTC roommate would be ldquotoo seriousrdquo
He said he was relieved to find Ledson as determined as expected but able to mix in doses of fun citing the pairrsquos sporadic dancing in the dorm room while maintaining a clear mental balance
ldquoYou could see [being a cadet] really helped him focus and sort out whatrsquos importantrdquo McMillian said ldquoAnd he loves itrdquo
Though no longer rooming together as McMillian is a resident advisor and Ledson lives off-campus McMillian said he would welcome the chance to live alongside an Air Force ROTC student again
ldquoSometimes you have to work with them itrsquos a busy schedule but I liked itrdquo McMillian said
R e c r u i t i n g F l i g h t Commander for TheUniversity of Alabama Air Force ROTC Captain John Ellis said with an average of 100 students per class and a 50 percent retention rate from freshman to sophomore years and 75 percent of stu-dents who start their sopho-more year finishing the pro-gram has remained attrac-tive to students
ldquoWe get a wide variety of students some who are air force brats so to speakrdquo Ellis said ldquoThen to cadets who have rarely seen someone in uniform and were interested maybe by seeing cadets on campusrdquo
He cited the structure pro-vided by the program as a natural progression into a more structured and success-ful college career
ldquoI think that the program offers a great opportunity for students here to pur-sue a military career and learn lessons about leader-shiprdquo he said ldquoAnd when you combine that with the strong academic basis the program requires itrsquos a good foundationrdquo

The United Statesrsquo first collegiate recovery pro-gram was started at Texas Tech over 25 years ago Both Downs and Snodgrass were undergraduate students at

ldquoTexas Tech gave me hope that somebody believed in merdquo Snodgrass said ldquoOther SEC schools such as Auburn are also starting recovery programsrdquo
Adam Downs director of Substance Abuse Counseling and Recovery Services said
the CRC is a support group for students not a rehabilitation facility
ldquoThis program is about supporting students who are in recoveryrdquo Downs said ldquoItrsquos not a treatment center for detoxrdquo

HCA screens Invisible Childrenrsquos fi lm lsquoThe RescuersquoBy Mark HammontreeContributing Writer
The Honors College Assembly hosted representatives of the Invisible Children organization Tuesday to screen their 2009 documentary ldquoThe Rescuerdquo
Invisible Childrenrsquos films focus on the violence and pov-erty that plagues east and central Africa because of the actions of warlord Joseph Kony and his Lordrsquos Resistance Army Invisible Children is one of the most well-known groups striv-ing to raise awareness of Konyrsquos crimes and provide aid and hope for the troubled people in the region
The original 2004 documentary depicted the abuses of Kony in northern Uganda Konyrsquos crimes since he gained power in 1987 are many including the brutal prac-tice of abducting children from local villages and brainwashing them into being the LRArsquos ldquochild soldiersrdquo The film sparked a national movement and Invisible Children Inc was formed to more actively combat the issues Since 2005 the organization has been involved in bringing awareness to Konyrsquos activities by releasing films that are toured around the country at venues ranging from Sunday school classrooms to col-lege campuses
Last year former director of
academic engagement of the HCA Austin Lafferty invited the Invisible Children ldquoroadiesrdquo to bring their movement to The University of Alabama
ldquoHaving a nonprofit like Invisible Children come to show-case their work ask for help have those discussions and even take constructive criticism from our student body can really help us to see what is being done and discover something about our own responsibilities as human beings whether thatrsquos with Invisible Children or in some other wayrdquo Lafferty said ldquoMy college career has drastically changed as a result of that I went from falling into my default of
a business career to actively pursuing a career in human rights lawrdquo
Apwonjo a campus group that works to raise awareness about and provide aid in sub-Saharan Africa co-sponsors Invisible Children events with HCA
Brian Kraus the secretary of Apwonjo said simply donating and sending food while benefi-cial is not enough
ldquoItrsquos so much more rewarding and effective if you actually really understand all sides of the issue and really can not just cure a symptom but actually get at the root of itrdquo Kraus said ldquoI think Invisible Children does a really good job of thatrdquo
By sponsoring these screenings once or twice a year Apwonjo and the HCA hope to bring these issues to the atten-tion of UA students because stu-dents can truly make an impact
ldquoInvisible Children was the first thing that made me look at a global community outside of right hererdquo Maddie Haddock president of Apwonjo said ldquoI think thatrsquos really impor-tant for college students to be exposed tordquo
For Archie Creech Jr an active member of Apwonjo the message is directly tied to his life as a student especially in the light of the devastation of the April 27 2011 tornadoes which
still lingers near campusldquoThe tragedy of the April 2011
tornadoes showed us that we are all bound together in our lives on this Earthrdquo Creech said ldquoOur belief in justice and equality and morality is insulted every time an atrocity happens in the worldrdquo
Creech said students can learn more about the conditions in cen-tral Africa and become involved in providing aid through on-cam-pus groups such as Apwonjo International Justice Mission and Unified for UNIFAT
Invisible Children will be releasing a new documentary in October and will be back to screen it on campus next semester

A public relations firm at The University of Alabama is giv-ing students real-world experi-ence in running communication campaigns
The Capstone Agency has amassed over 30 awards for their work and is looking to continue their progress and expansion this year
Capstone Agency Advisor Teri Henley started working with the firm in 2008 Over the years Henley said she has been impressed with how the student leaders of the Capstone Agency have stepped up to run the orga-nization as a real agency helping real clients
ldquoThe greatest reward is seeing the students grow in the knowl-edge and abilities as they interact with real clients with real bud-gets real issues and real con-straintsrdquo she said
Firm director Jessica Colburn said the Capstone Agency has
worked hard to build a client list for the purpose of highlighting its strengths and abilities to future clients
ldquoIt truly highlights our abili-ties as an agency when we can now say we not only have over 32 local regional and national awards for our work but are now considered lsquoleading expertsrsquo in our fieldrdquo Colburn said
Previously the Capstone Agency focused on work for non-profits and on-campus initiatives
ldquoThis year we are looking to strategically diversify our cli-entele and work with small off-campus businesses in need of communication services for payrdquo Colburn said
The Capstone Agency looks to educate both students and fac-ulty on how to engage students through strategic public relations campaigns at two national con-ferences this semester
The National Outreach Scholarship Conference will be on Oct 3 in Bryant Conference Center and the Public Relations
Student Society of Americarsquos National Conference will be Oct 12 in San Francisco Calif
Colburn said she is excited the agency will be working hard on making one of their current clients LessThanUThink a nationwide brand by implement-ing their campaign in Orange County Calif
Sam Nathews director of media relations who worked on the statewide campaign this past spring as a member of the LessThanUThink team said gaining real-world PR experience through hands-on work with actual clients is invaluable to any PR student
ldquoBecause Capstone Agency offers services that encompass every facet of public relations it provides students the opportuni-ty to further develop and sharpen the skills necessary to help them become successful public rela-tions professionalsrdquo Nathews said

Environmentalism not altruisticLETTER TO THE EDITOR
By Kyle Davis
Irsquom not writing this to appeal to flower children green thumbs habitual recy-clers or conservation advocates They already respect their relationship with nature and quite frankly Irsquove got no beef with them but thatrsquos irrelevant I want instead to start a dialogue with a group of people that Irsquom shocked are typically hostile or otherwise indifferent to stew-ardship and sustainability Irsquom writing to conservatives of all shades from liber-tarians to neo-cons to consider this basic tenant environmentalism to paraphrase science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson is simply selfishness taking the long view by acknowledging the true costs of our actions Thatrsquos something any advocate of fiscal responsibility can surely support
When I say altruism I mean environ-mentalism isnrsquot about helping endan-gered organisms like polar bears and exotic snails to survive simply because wersquore in debt to them for eroding their habitats Itrsquos not about tree-hugging and itrsquos not about serving nature Those philosophies might resonate with more sensitive souls but I expect the great majority of us to simply accept envi-ronmental damage as a cost of doing business ndash our liberated fun-filled and (currently) wasteful consumer lifestyles practically demand it But no matter how much we might wish otherwise the costs will catch up with us sooner or later in a variety of ways
Consider climate change Therersquos a monetary value associated with carbon emissions thatrsquos impossible to nail down with precision yet it exists Fertile lands swallowed up by the sea grasslands suc-cumbed to deserts and entire marine ecosystems scarred by water too hot or too acidic are all likely possibilities as the earth reacts to a sudden and unprec-edented increase in greenhouse gases over the century While these impacts might be terrible for a variety of ethical reasons whatrsquos most relevant is theyrsquore simply prohibitively expensive Cities that donrsquot invest in seawalls will be slowly inundated by the ocean and thousands of communities will be forced to relocate or re-equip themselves for other economic ventures as the climate belts shift The resources we rely on to sustain ourselves will become vastly more difficult to obtain and theyrsquoll have to be split between bil-lions more people in more cramped and stressful conditions This is the erosion of trillions of dollars of productivity and someone has to foot the bill
As of now our children and grandchil-dren will pay the full price not us even
though our irresponsible behavior hascontributed to these various long emer-gencies Does that strike you as fairSurely itrsquos a problem worth addressingYet if we expect the free market to com-bat this dilemma as many conservativesadvocate our situation wonrsquot fundamen-tally improve because of one simple factour current economics hide the true costof our actions
For example what you pay at the pumpfor a gallon of gas is a gross understate-ment of its true burden Every pound ofCO2 emitted alters the ecology of theplanet in some minute way every traceof exhaust contributes to health prob-lems passed on through doctorrsquos visitsand higher insurance premiums andevery fossil fuel if not extracted respon-sibly creates localized environmentalproblems ranging from oil spills totainted groundwater to ravaged moun-taintop ecosystems Summed togetherthese lingering effects create economicmalnourishment and sap future growthThe immediate gratification of cheapand easy gas which makes us competi-tive in the short-term can potentiallyundermine communities and harm themimmensely in the long term yet theprice at the pump does not reflect thesehazards ndash the full cost is footed by latergenerations and passed on as hamperedgrowth throughout the decades
Some environmentalists seek toaddress this issue through ecologicaleconomics a discipline that attempts theimpossible by quantifying the full impactof our relationship with the biosphereand assigning a range of dollar values toit This emerging field promises to takethe simple logic behind the free marketand incorporate it into an ecologicallyresponsible framework that looks out forhumans across all time scales not justthose here and now But it takes politi-cal will to embrace such a transformativescience Itrsquos in everyonersquos best interest toacknowledge and prepare for a hot andcrowded future and the simplest way toconfront this harsh reality and limit thedamage is to assume full responsibilityfor our destructive habits To curb ourbehavior we need to cover our debts andpay the full price of our actions upfront
The free market can behave responsi-bly toward the planet and toward futuregenerations if it runs on eco-economicsThis budding discipline promises to unitetwo seemingly disparate philosophiesand provide an accurate and scientificreassessment of our lifestyles Call menaiumlve for suggesting that green and con-servative can be one and the sameKyle Davis is a senior majoring inenvironmental science
Crimson Ride drivers should be considerateBy Amber PattersonStaff Columnist
The Crimson Ride transportation system is a great resource for stu-dents both those who live on campus and those who commute The addition of the new Crimson Express route has become abso-lutely vital for me since I commute to campus and park near the baseball field which is basically in the middle of nowhere The bus drivers even wait for students that seem to be running a little late in the mornings sprinting to the bus stop from their cars ndash another thing of which I am guilty
And while I do appreci-ate the bus drivers and their attribution to the University as always
there is room for improve-ment Recently I boarded the bus just in time to make it to class 10 min-utes early or so I thought My early planning would have been successful if the bus driver did not decide to stop for almost 10 min-utes to converse with a fellow driver through his window This was not just a friendly chat or a brief hello they had a full con-versation while he had almost an entire bus full of people I thought this was an isolated incident until I learned that my room-mate experienced a simi-lar situation while taking the shuttle back to our apartment The bus driver decided he needed almost 30 minutes to smoke a cig-arette and spark various conversations
I am aware that all employees need a break I would need one too if I was driving all day espe-cially if it was the same route every day I am not against them having a break I just ask that driv-ers would be consider-ate of the fact that most of their passengers are students that have class and need to get to those classes on time Their job is to provide timely trans-portation I will admit that it is partially the studentsrsquo responsibility to board the bus at a decent time to arrive to class promptly but with students taking more than 15 hours like myself our time between classes is little making time very precious
It is known at the bus hub that a student can
expect to wait 20 minutes or a little more because it is the place where the bus drivers transition but not in the middle of their routes When I first arrived on campus figuring out the bus sys-tem took me awhile but when I finally learned all the routes and carefully mapped out which one to take I did not calculate bus driver conversation time I should not have to I appreciate the bus driv-ers of this campus and all that they do for students and faculty All I am ask-ing is for equal consider-ation for fellow students and myselfAmber Patterson is a sophomore majoring in marketing and public relations Her column runs on Thursday
Wilson reminds us to daydream lsquosoldier onrsquoBy Sophia FazalStaff Columnist
We took our seats at the cool dark lab tables and I began to get even more anxious There were only about 10 of us in the room and among such royalty at that Thanks to Dr Christopher Lynn and his Human Behavioral Ecology Research Group I was able to score VIP seats to a meet and greet with Harvard Universityrsquos internationally renowned biologist Dr E O Wilson the night after his lecture ldquoThe Social Conquest of Earthrdquo here at The University of Alabama
Nonchalantly he start-ed that morning by telling a story of two not so inter-ested biologists sitting around a teaching lounge talking about what they would name their new department If you can believe it that was the day evolutionary biology was born
Wilson said science is the key to all of lifersquos secrets and science is in need of some serious ten-der love and care
After reading his book ldquoCreationrdquo it makes a lot more sense why he says this The book is essen-tially a short and sweet letter to a pastor where Wilson asks for his help in uniting religion and sci-ence to preserve biodiver-sity across the globe Just a simple request
ldquoPastor we need your
helprdquo Wilson wrote ldquoHalf the species of plants and animals on Earth could be either gone or at least fated for early extinction by the end of the centuryrdquo
Wilsonrsquos goal is to push science and young sci-entists to the edge and reverse the decline of a crucial scientific era His next book ldquoLetters to a Young Scientistrdquo will do just that but for now he was able to enlighten us with what he calls ldquothe three archetypes for a budding scientistsrdquo
First he says to hunt for the lost world for Wilson that was some-thing he recently encoun-tered within his field of study at the age of 82 Last year Wilson was able to take samples from a vir-gin forest in Gorongosa Mozambique something hersquos wanted to do his whole life
Second is to search for the Holy Grail Specifically your own Holy Grail no matter where you are
ldquoTherersquos a grail in your field there is always that something that everybody wants to knowrdquo Wilson said
The third is a lit-tle complicated good vs evil Here Wilson explains how these three archetypes will combine to create an authority Scientists get to choose what they study and what they fight for therein lies that grail So it is up to the budding scientists
to choose whether or not they want to help humani-ty or just take it for grant-ed To Wilson this is most important because the future lies within their hands
ldquoYou can become an authority at a very young age if you run from the sound of gunsrdquo Wilson said demanding our attention at this point
He explained how choosing a field of study just because it is easy or popular will not get you very far As the leading authority on ants Wilson was able to transition over to human evolution with ease but opportunities like that do not happen to the masses So letrsquos travel the unbeaten path Check
His idea is to push each young scientist to imagi-nation and open minded-ness Daydreaming is one thing he emphasized for all to do (Seriously I have that down especially in Spanish)
ldquoVery bright people in my opinion they are often not innovators or creatorsrdquo Wilson said when talking about how 120 is the ideal IQ and
incidentally three points shy of his own
To him the stereotypi-cal genius doesnrsquot have the hard work passion and persistence that one needs to become a pio-neer Breezing through school is clearly not his idea of a victory
ldquoYoursquove got to soldier on and get the work donerdquo Wilson said
Science needs innova-tors and creators and Wilsonrsquos calling has been to let the young know that today science can save the world but only as long as there is still science left to go around
Wilson chatted with us for a full two hours and at the end com-plained about how short our gathering seemed He listened patiently and advised wholeheartedly I was moved to some seri-ous critical thinking on life followed by a ldquoRoll Tiderdquo from a fellow Bama native
Touched by all his efforts and the efforts of groups like HBERG that are here every day push-ing science to the next level I was moved to write this article Take a minute to appreciate the world around you because you may never see it like this again
ldquoDonrsquot be afraidrdquo Wilson said in the end ldquoyou are neededrdquoSophia Fazal is a senior majoring in anthropology

Many students meet with their academic advisor only once per semester and rarely make use of their professorsrsquo office hours
This October the Student Government Association hopes to change that by launching an Academic Scavenger Hunt to promote helpful academic assets on campus that are free to stu-dents as well as help stu-dents build relationships with their advisors
ldquoWe are encouraging stu-dents to become aware of the resources that their tuition already pays for as well as use the advice of their academic advisorsrdquo SGA executive press secretary
Meagan Bryant said The Academic Scavenger
Hunt includes prizes such as a 16GB iPad Ray-Ban sun-glasses and $500 and $1000 scholarships donated by the SGA
ldquoThe scavenger hunt seemed like a great idea because we could incorpo-rate different parts of cam-pus such as DegreeWorks academic advising teachersrsquo office hours and the writ-ing centerrdquo Denzel Evans-Bell SGA vice president for Academic Affairs said
To complete the passport supplied by the SGA for the Academic Scavenger Hunt students need two signatures from their teachers after meeting with them during office hours followed by an appointment with an advisor
to receive the third signature Students must then visit
an academic resource center such as the writing center for their fourth signature Lastly students must complete their DegreeWorks before turning in their completed passport to qualify for a prize
ldquoThis is beneficial and fun to the students because they can gain so much from itrdquo Evans-Bell said ldquoThey will fill out their DegreeWorks and get to meet privately with their professors all of the things that are stressed for students to do during their college careers and they can win prizes doing itrdquo
The Academic Scavenger Hunt begins Oct 1 and all completed passports are due to the SGA office on Oct 26 by 5 pm

Watch doctoral composition student Amir Zaheri in the hall-ways of Moody for a few minutes and it will become clear he has a personality that draws people toward him Soft-spoken yet direct Zaheri has an intuitive nature that makes him a popular source for advice This insightful-ness influences his compositions which in recent months have brought him major rewards
A Narramore Fellow and student of C P First Zaheri was a featured composer on ComposersCirclecom this past summer He has also celebrated new publications new commis-sions and premiere performances in the last few months
ldquoWhen Amir first arrived at the University he was already an accomplished composer with an international reputation but dur-ing his time here he has really refined his language narrative
and compositional techniquerdquo First a composition professor said
Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profilerdquo was recently selected for perfor-mance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National
Conference which will be held at Capital University this fall The digital piece was also selected for performance at the 2nd Annual Electroacoustic Barn Dance Festival at the University of Mary Washington
ldquoIt actually started out as a
jokerdquo Zaheri said It was my first digital piece for a class but when I brought it in Dr First was like lsquoAmir thatrsquos actually pretty goodrsquordquo
Zaheri brought it in to work on with his teacher Since then the piece has gathered its own follow-ing
ldquoEvery composer has their nicherdquo he said ldquo Perhaps Irsquove just discovered mine ndash dating profile soundtracksrdquo
Zaherirsquos successes speak not only for him but also for the quali-ty of work coming from the School of Music
ldquoWe are extremely proud of Amir and his accomplishmentsrdquo Charles ldquoSkiprdquo Snead director of the School of Music said ldquoHe exemplifies all of the characteris-tics that we hope to see in every graduate student His success on the regional and national level reflects extremely well on our programrdquo
As a composer in residence for The University of Alabama Opera Theatre hersquos currently
working on a musical entitled ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo to be performed in spring 2013
ldquoOne of my favorite styles is musical theatre along the lines of Noel Coward and Irving Berlinrdquo Zaheri said
When he sat down with Paul Houghtaling director of the UA Opera Theatre to discuss the next step for the company Zaheri knew it was time for a musical
ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo explores the relationships of several couples in a diner setting It includes a myriad of characters from a neu-rotic girlfriend and boyfriend whose love keeps them strong to the dinerrsquos hostess who is experi-encing the pain of a breakup with no closure Interwoven is the con-stant theme ldquoAnything can hap-pen over dinnerrdquo
Zaherirsquos partnership with UA Opera Theatre has been in place since he arrived at the University in January 2011
Snead believes that Zaherirsquos composer-in-residence status
illustrates the special collabora-tive nature that is standard for the composition department
ldquoBy nature composers are a collaborative grouprdquo he said They depend on the efforts of oth-ers for the ultimate realization of their achievements Likewise performers depend on willing and collaborative composers for the perpetuation of the art Amirrsquos relationship with our University Opera Theatre is an outstanding example of this ongoing relation-shiprdquo
Even with a constantly packed schedule of performances and teaching Zaheri has time to reflect on his work
ldquoItrsquos like being a parentrdquo Zaheri said ldquoYou care for them and hope they will help people to think and be healing and loving I think I am part of a minority of people on the planet who have the opportunity to do what one loves and make a difference in othersrsquo lives through it At a certain point I view that as a responsibilityrdquo

ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo sees Wes Anderson return to live-action filmmaking after a break of five years since the underwhelm-ing ldquoThe Darjeeling Limitedrdquo Thankfully Andersonrsquos new picture is a return to form and his best film since ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquo
In his career which now spans 10 years Wes Anderson has managed to cre-ate a distinct style which is shared in all of his films and ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo perfect-ly demonstrates Andersonrsquos
recognizable visual and thematic blueprint Like almost all of his films ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo fea-tures a vibrant color palette a dysfunctional family and a hilar-ious show-stealing performance from Bill Murray
The cast which Anderson has assembled is probably the most accomplished and diverse he has ever worked with featuring Frances McDormand Harvey Keitel and Tilda Swinton The two biggest names on the cast list Edward Norton and Bruce Willis deliver brilliant comi-cal performances and Norton is particularly impressive in his first major comedic role of his
career But the most surprising performances of the film come from the two young stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward who were both 13 during filming and who give the film a rich emotion-al warmth
Set on the charming fic-tional island of New Penzance ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo tells the coming-of-age story of Sam Shakusky (Gilman) a troubled orphan who runs away from his summer scout group with Suzy Bishop (Hayward) a girl who is equally as alienated as Sam But hot on pursuit of the runaway lovers are the diligent Scout Master Randy Ward (Norton)
and Captain Sharp (Willis) who are aided by Suzyrsquos frantically worried parents played by the constantly duelling McDormand and Murray
This film will appeal to those who are already fans of Wes Anderson and his examination of the family dynamic
But what makes ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo stand apart from these films is Andersonrsquos focus on his two young main char-acters Anderson captures the innocence of first love as well as the confusion of ado-lescence but manages to pro-vide both sentimentality and hilarity in equal measure The
dialogue is razor sharp and as expected the trademark Anderson wit and awkward-ness are fully present
Most striking about the script are the interactions between Sam and Suzy which feel incredibly genuine and make their summer romance completely believable Gilman is a rare breed of actor who is able to handle the quirks of Andersonrsquos script with the ease of Andersonrsquos regular col-laborators Jason Schwartzman and Murray and it would not be surprising to see Gilman return to work with the director on future films
On a visual level the film
is gorgeous and in true Wes Anderson fashion nearly every single shot is framed centrally a technique which has almost become an inside joke to fans of the director The fact that the film is so self-aware that it is a Wes Anderson picture means that ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo is a sure-fire hit to fans of the direc-tor and ranks with ldquoRushmorerdquoand ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquoas one of Andersonrsquos greatest films
It embraces his own style yet delivers a highly cre-ative and original depic-tion of the awkwardness of growing up
Music studentrsquos composition makes national noise
CW | Jingyu WanAmir Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profi lerdquo was recently selected for performance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National Conference
The love interest in The University of Alabamarsquos new play is too stupid to sit down Irsquom not exaggerating ndash she spends 30 sec-onds trying to remember how to sit down in a chair The hero falls for her while shersquos strug-gling to say her own name That was the point in ldquoFoolsrdquo when I began to realize what playwright Neil Simon who wrote ldquoThe Odd Couplerdquo had in for us
If yoursquore looking for Simonrsquos quaintly human New Yorkers you wonrsquot find any in the Russian hamlet of Kulyenchikov a town with an ancient curse of stupid-ity And like the townsfolk the show will make you feel dumb Not because yoursquore watching a stream of legitimately ter-
rible jokes but because you find yourself laughing at just about every one
Spunky young bookworm Leon Tolchinsky (John Paul Snead) has come to be the new schoolmaster Suitcase in hand and grinning like Socrates he rattles off a few solil-oquies about the joys of knowl-edge And then meets a man who canrsquot count to 12 or remember his own name Soon Leon realizes itrsquos up to him to break the curse by educating the physicianrsquos daughter Sophia (Natalie Riegel with Esther Workman stepping in Friday and Sunday)
Itrsquos a journey fraught with cheap clicheacutes and third grade puns Formally the gags are Vaudevillian but even the Marx Brothers knew how to count on their fingers The humor leaps from The Beverly Hillbillies to a
YouTube video of a 2-year-old I could almost see Simon stopping to think ldquoNow how can I make this line stupidrdquo
New York apparently hated it ndash it closed after just five weeks on Broadway But the UA troupe has always had a soft spot for mis-fit scripts and it waves Simonrsquos inanity like a battle flag Sneadrsquos wide-eyed Leon could pass for one of the missionaries in ldquoThe Book of Mormonrdquo his evil land baron rival (Samuel Hardy) looks like Count Chocula at a disco-thegraveque and they all frolic around a set that could be from Sesame Street
The show flaunts every cheap pun tramples Simonrsquos feeble attempts at sentiment and dares the audience not to enjoy it The air in the tiny Allen Bales Theatre gets so thick with sil-
liness that you either laugh or suffocate
Good thing too because despite a few awkward rashes of philosophy there isnrsquot any wisdom in the foolishness Sneadrsquos Leon is great fun but is no more relatable than any of the idiots Sophia challenges his presumptions about intellect but
shersquos too infantile to make any headway before everything is solved by ndash surprise - the power of love
ldquoThere is nothing like the logic of an illogical mindrdquo Leon says before Sophia forgets one-plus-one
I read later that ldquoFoolsrdquo is so bewildering to fans of Neil
Simon that some swear he wrote it to be a flop ldquoProducersrdquo style And even at the theatre I could tell that the Universityrsquos pro-duction is a lot more fun than the play deserved to be But the UA troupe does it exactly right It doesnrsquot try to break the Curse of Kulyenchokov it just puts it on the audience

Absurdity of lsquoFoolsrsquo performances leaves every audience laughing

The Sonic Frontiers con-cert series sponsored by New College and Creative Campus is kicking off its second season of avant-garde performances with a concert by Chicago-based trio Vox Arcana Friday Sept 28 at 730 pm in Moody Music Building
The trio is comprised of leader and percussionist Tim Daisy clar-inetist James Falzone and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who also plays electronic instruments Vox Arcanarsquos experimental sound comes from the com-bination of the compositional structure of modern classical music and the triorsquos more flex-ible improvisational format
The freedom of Vox Arcanarsquos improvisational format leaves a lot of room for change in the grouprsquos music Though the compositions remain the same performances differ from night to night
ldquoIrsquom looking forward to how the music is going to changerdquo Daisy said ldquoA lot of itrsquos com-posed but therersquos also a lot of room for improvisation and the compositions change a lot night after night and thatrsquos something Irsquom very interested inrdquo
Vox Arcana uses a variety of instruments and styles to create various experimental textures Daisy will augment his drum set with kick pans bells and other sound-making materials while Lonberg-Holm will create tex-tures of sound with electronic
distortion and amplificationldquoYoursquore going to see us up
there working on our music which deals with a lot of com-posed material with a lot of room for improvisationrdquo Daisy
said ldquoYoursquoll see us working through our material hopefully playing it well and having a big timerdquo
Daisy said playing in an aca-demic setting rather than a club
or other venue makes the con-cert much more open to audi-ence interaction and conversa-tions about the music The band is happy to discuss their music and show scores after their performance to anyone who is interested
ldquoI usually get a lot more ques-tions from the audience in a more academic settingrdquo Daisy said ldquoI usually meet a lot more people wanting to talk and ana-lyze [the music] a little more Irsquom really looking forward to thatrdquo
Sonic Frontiersrsquo 2012-2013 season has grown in more ways than one This season will span both semesters include more performances and try to inte-grate more of the Tuscaloosa area by expanding to off-cam-pus events The series is also
expanding globally bringing in artists from as far away as the Czech Republic and Germany
Though Sonic Frontiers brings new ideas to campus it is by no means a one-way cultural exchange Giving visiting artists a chance to engage with local culture creates a reciprocal cir-culation of ideas
ldquoThe whole idea is to get ideas circulatingrdquo said Andrew Dewar assistant professor of New College and the School of Music and assistant director of Creative Campus ldquoBy having global artists and national art-ists not only do people here get to interact with a different cul-ture and set of ideas and musical sounds but the visiting musi-cians are interacting with whatrsquos happening hererdquo

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld

Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo

Tide begins prepping for 1st SEC competitionCROSS COUNTRY
WOMENrsquoS GOLF
By Charlie PotterContributing Writer
The Alabama cross coun-try teams will face their third test of the season this week-end when they participate in the 57th Annual Notre Dame Invitational
The race will take place Friday Sept 28 at the Notre Dame golf course on the schoolrsquos campus in South Bend Ind Both teams will be run-ning in the blue division races
beginning with the womenrsquos race at 315 pm
The Crimson Tide is com-ing off its first SEC competi-tion at the Commodore Classic in Nashville Tenn where the womenrsquos and menrsquos teams fin-ished in fifth and 15th place respectively Head coach Dan Waters attributes his teamsrsquo results to their collegiate inex-perience
ldquoWe just canrsquot get around the fact that wersquore young and wersquore just going to have to learnrdquo
Waters said ldquoItrsquos just going to be part of our growing processrdquo
However Waters said the structure of the course in South Bend will be great for the devel-opment of the Tidersquos young runners and will help them bet-ter understand the elements of cross country Notre Damersquos golf course ndash that serves as the schoolrsquos running course for cross country meets ndash is very flat and Waters said jok-ingly that the desk in his office has more hills than the actual course
ldquoTypically this race goes out
incredibly fastrdquo Waters said ldquoItrsquos a flatter faster type of course Our athletes are going to have to get accustomed to seeing a fast pace and be able
to stay positive and still execute a race plan for the bottom half of the racerdquo
On top of the different course layout the run-ners will also be facing a more diverse mixture of schools The Notre Dame Invitational will host several Big
Ten schools like Ohio State and Michigan as well as Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Princeton
The SEC will also be well-represented at the meet Aside from Alabama Mississippi State and Texas AampM will be running Waters is glad to see a variety of competition for his growing team
ldquoItrsquos exactly what they need to seerdquo Waters said ldquoAs we grow for the future they need to know whatrsquos out there and they need to see the very best competition Thatrsquos why itrsquos on the schedulerdquo
The youth and inexperience of the cross country roster is slowly diminishing with every meet but for one runner the Notre Dame Invitational will be his first taste of competition in the college ranks and in the United States
Robbie Farnham-Rose a freshman from Borough Green
England will make his season debut for the Crimson Tide Friday
Waters said choosing to run his newest athlete at this time was due to the flatter faster type of course which is some-thing Farnham-Rose has had success running in the past But the experience of running with some of the countryrsquos best ath-letes canrsquot hurt either
ldquoItrsquos just an opportunity for him to compete and enjoy com-peting for the Crimson Tiderdquo Waters said
For Farnham-Rose this expe-rience will be new for him He is used to competing for a club team rather than a university but he is looking forward to spending time with his new teammates on the road to Indiana

Newby said the Air Force ROTC not only instilled a sense of structure and respect for authority in him but also marked his entrance into the military ldquofraternityrdquo facilitating a multitude of friendships
ldquoTheyrsquore strong bonds we haverdquo Newby said ldquoItrsquos actu-ally very comparable to the friendships I formed through football in high schoolrdquo
Philip Stephenson a junior majoring in management information systems said his whole family was in the mili-tary and his mother is cur-rently in the Air Force
He said he likes the variety of extra-curricular activi-ties and community service opportunities cadets could take part in and its facilita-tion of a light-hearted rivalry with the Army ROTC detach-ment on campus such as their competition during the Beat Auburn Beat Hunger drive last year and annual football game
Stevenson also recalled some of his own misconcep-tions about the Air Force ROTC
ldquoI was unaware going in just how dynamic the Air Force isrdquo Stevenson said ldquoIn fact many facets of the force are on the groundrdquo
Richard Ledson a sopho-more majoring in mechanical engineering learned how to fly before he learned how to drive His grandfather was a plane mechanic in Florida and Ledson said he knew he wanted to become a pilot Intrigued by the prospect of entering college as a high school senior and leaving as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force and possibly a pilot he joined the Air Force ROTC
ldquoI have a lot more deter-mination and focusrdquo Ledson said ldquoTherersquos a lot of respon-sibility to being an ROTC cadet beyond just having to be a college studentrdquo
This holds true for Ledson who is a General Military Course advisor working with cadets undergoing their ini-tial training and a training officer of the honors society He said he hoped his efforts would elevate him forward into the physically and men-tally pressing field training during the summer after his sophomore year when a com-mitment to joining the Air Force begins for cadets not under scholarship
ldquoI donrsquot think Irsquod have the same focused mind-set if I werenrsquot a cadetrdquo
Ledson saidLedson said that from an
outsiderrsquos perspective some of drills and exercises they undergo publicly may seem odd goofy or perhaps fright-ening but knows the purpose and importance of all of their tasks
ldquoItrsquos really that wersquore striv-ing to better ourselvesrdquo Ledson said
Zac McMillian a sopho-more majoring in MIS and history lived with Ledson during their freshman year in Ridgecrest South Having attended a West Point camp the summer before he said he had seen the dedication and hard work of military affiliated students but was uncertain if his soon-to-be Air Force ROTC roommate would be ldquotoo seriousrdquo
He said he was relieved to find Ledson as determined as expected but able to mix in doses of fun citing the pairrsquos sporadic dancing in the dorm room while maintaining a clear mental balance
ldquoYou could see [being a cadet] really helped him focus and sort out whatrsquos importantrdquo McMillian said ldquoAnd he loves itrdquo
Though no longer rooming together as McMillian is a resident advisor and Ledson lives off-campus McMillian said he would welcome the chance to live alongside an Air Force ROTC student again
ldquoSometimes you have to work with them itrsquos a busy schedule but I liked itrdquo McMillian said
R e c r u i t i n g F l i g h t Commander for TheUniversity of Alabama Air Force ROTC Captain John Ellis said with an average of 100 students per class and a 50 percent retention rate from freshman to sophomore years and 75 percent of stu-dents who start their sopho-more year finishing the pro-gram has remained attrac-tive to students
ldquoWe get a wide variety of students some who are air force brats so to speakrdquo Ellis said ldquoThen to cadets who have rarely seen someone in uniform and were interested maybe by seeing cadets on campusrdquo
He cited the structure pro-vided by the program as a natural progression into a more structured and success-ful college career
ldquoI think that the program offers a great opportunity for students here to pur-sue a military career and learn lessons about leader-shiprdquo he said ldquoAnd when you combine that with the strong academic basis the program requires itrsquos a good foundationrdquo

ldquoTexas Tech gave me hope that somebody believed in merdquo Snodgrass said ldquoOther SEC schools such as Auburn are also starting recovery programsrdquo
Adam Downs director of Substance Abuse Counseling and Recovery Services said
the CRC is a support group for students not a rehabilitation facility
ldquoThis program is about supporting students who are in recoveryrdquo Downs said ldquoItrsquos not a treatment center for detoxrdquo

HCA screens Invisible Childrenrsquos fi lm lsquoThe RescuersquoBy Mark HammontreeContributing Writer
The Honors College Assembly hosted representatives of the Invisible Children organization Tuesday to screen their 2009 documentary ldquoThe Rescuerdquo
Invisible Childrenrsquos films focus on the violence and pov-erty that plagues east and central Africa because of the actions of warlord Joseph Kony and his Lordrsquos Resistance Army Invisible Children is one of the most well-known groups striv-ing to raise awareness of Konyrsquos crimes and provide aid and hope for the troubled people in the region
The original 2004 documentary depicted the abuses of Kony in northern Uganda Konyrsquos crimes since he gained power in 1987 are many including the brutal prac-tice of abducting children from local villages and brainwashing them into being the LRArsquos ldquochild soldiersrdquo The film sparked a national movement and Invisible Children Inc was formed to more actively combat the issues Since 2005 the organization has been involved in bringing awareness to Konyrsquos activities by releasing films that are toured around the country at venues ranging from Sunday school classrooms to col-lege campuses
Last year former director of
academic engagement of the HCA Austin Lafferty invited the Invisible Children ldquoroadiesrdquo to bring their movement to The University of Alabama
ldquoHaving a nonprofit like Invisible Children come to show-case their work ask for help have those discussions and even take constructive criticism from our student body can really help us to see what is being done and discover something about our own responsibilities as human beings whether thatrsquos with Invisible Children or in some other wayrdquo Lafferty said ldquoMy college career has drastically changed as a result of that I went from falling into my default of
a business career to actively pursuing a career in human rights lawrdquo
Apwonjo a campus group that works to raise awareness about and provide aid in sub-Saharan Africa co-sponsors Invisible Children events with HCA
Brian Kraus the secretary of Apwonjo said simply donating and sending food while benefi-cial is not enough
ldquoItrsquos so much more rewarding and effective if you actually really understand all sides of the issue and really can not just cure a symptom but actually get at the root of itrdquo Kraus said ldquoI think Invisible Children does a really good job of thatrdquo
By sponsoring these screenings once or twice a year Apwonjo and the HCA hope to bring these issues to the atten-tion of UA students because stu-dents can truly make an impact
ldquoInvisible Children was the first thing that made me look at a global community outside of right hererdquo Maddie Haddock president of Apwonjo said ldquoI think thatrsquos really impor-tant for college students to be exposed tordquo
For Archie Creech Jr an active member of Apwonjo the message is directly tied to his life as a student especially in the light of the devastation of the April 27 2011 tornadoes which
still lingers near campusldquoThe tragedy of the April 2011
tornadoes showed us that we are all bound together in our lives on this Earthrdquo Creech said ldquoOur belief in justice and equality and morality is insulted every time an atrocity happens in the worldrdquo
Creech said students can learn more about the conditions in cen-tral Africa and become involved in providing aid through on-cam-pus groups such as Apwonjo International Justice Mission and Unified for UNIFAT
Invisible Children will be releasing a new documentary in October and will be back to screen it on campus next semester

A public relations firm at The University of Alabama is giv-ing students real-world experi-ence in running communication campaigns
The Capstone Agency has amassed over 30 awards for their work and is looking to continue their progress and expansion this year
Capstone Agency Advisor Teri Henley started working with the firm in 2008 Over the years Henley said she has been impressed with how the student leaders of the Capstone Agency have stepped up to run the orga-nization as a real agency helping real clients
ldquoThe greatest reward is seeing the students grow in the knowl-edge and abilities as they interact with real clients with real bud-gets real issues and real con-straintsrdquo she said
Firm director Jessica Colburn said the Capstone Agency has
worked hard to build a client list for the purpose of highlighting its strengths and abilities to future clients
ldquoIt truly highlights our abili-ties as an agency when we can now say we not only have over 32 local regional and national awards for our work but are now considered lsquoleading expertsrsquo in our fieldrdquo Colburn said
Previously the Capstone Agency focused on work for non-profits and on-campus initiatives
ldquoThis year we are looking to strategically diversify our cli-entele and work with small off-campus businesses in need of communication services for payrdquo Colburn said
The Capstone Agency looks to educate both students and fac-ulty on how to engage students through strategic public relations campaigns at two national con-ferences this semester
The National Outreach Scholarship Conference will be on Oct 3 in Bryant Conference Center and the Public Relations
Student Society of Americarsquos National Conference will be Oct 12 in San Francisco Calif
Colburn said she is excited the agency will be working hard on making one of their current clients LessThanUThink a nationwide brand by implement-ing their campaign in Orange County Calif
Sam Nathews director of media relations who worked on the statewide campaign this past spring as a member of the LessThanUThink team said gaining real-world PR experience through hands-on work with actual clients is invaluable to any PR student
ldquoBecause Capstone Agency offers services that encompass every facet of public relations it provides students the opportuni-ty to further develop and sharpen the skills necessary to help them become successful public rela-tions professionalsrdquo Nathews said

Environmentalism not altruisticLETTER TO THE EDITOR
By Kyle Davis
Irsquom not writing this to appeal to flower children green thumbs habitual recy-clers or conservation advocates They already respect their relationship with nature and quite frankly Irsquove got no beef with them but thatrsquos irrelevant I want instead to start a dialogue with a group of people that Irsquom shocked are typically hostile or otherwise indifferent to stew-ardship and sustainability Irsquom writing to conservatives of all shades from liber-tarians to neo-cons to consider this basic tenant environmentalism to paraphrase science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson is simply selfishness taking the long view by acknowledging the true costs of our actions Thatrsquos something any advocate of fiscal responsibility can surely support
When I say altruism I mean environ-mentalism isnrsquot about helping endan-gered organisms like polar bears and exotic snails to survive simply because wersquore in debt to them for eroding their habitats Itrsquos not about tree-hugging and itrsquos not about serving nature Those philosophies might resonate with more sensitive souls but I expect the great majority of us to simply accept envi-ronmental damage as a cost of doing business ndash our liberated fun-filled and (currently) wasteful consumer lifestyles practically demand it But no matter how much we might wish otherwise the costs will catch up with us sooner or later in a variety of ways
Consider climate change Therersquos a monetary value associated with carbon emissions thatrsquos impossible to nail down with precision yet it exists Fertile lands swallowed up by the sea grasslands suc-cumbed to deserts and entire marine ecosystems scarred by water too hot or too acidic are all likely possibilities as the earth reacts to a sudden and unprec-edented increase in greenhouse gases over the century While these impacts might be terrible for a variety of ethical reasons whatrsquos most relevant is theyrsquore simply prohibitively expensive Cities that donrsquot invest in seawalls will be slowly inundated by the ocean and thousands of communities will be forced to relocate or re-equip themselves for other economic ventures as the climate belts shift The resources we rely on to sustain ourselves will become vastly more difficult to obtain and theyrsquoll have to be split between bil-lions more people in more cramped and stressful conditions This is the erosion of trillions of dollars of productivity and someone has to foot the bill
As of now our children and grandchil-dren will pay the full price not us even
though our irresponsible behavior hascontributed to these various long emer-gencies Does that strike you as fairSurely itrsquos a problem worth addressingYet if we expect the free market to com-bat this dilemma as many conservativesadvocate our situation wonrsquot fundamen-tally improve because of one simple factour current economics hide the true costof our actions
For example what you pay at the pumpfor a gallon of gas is a gross understate-ment of its true burden Every pound ofCO2 emitted alters the ecology of theplanet in some minute way every traceof exhaust contributes to health prob-lems passed on through doctorrsquos visitsand higher insurance premiums andevery fossil fuel if not extracted respon-sibly creates localized environmentalproblems ranging from oil spills totainted groundwater to ravaged moun-taintop ecosystems Summed togetherthese lingering effects create economicmalnourishment and sap future growthThe immediate gratification of cheapand easy gas which makes us competi-tive in the short-term can potentiallyundermine communities and harm themimmensely in the long term yet theprice at the pump does not reflect thesehazards ndash the full cost is footed by latergenerations and passed on as hamperedgrowth throughout the decades
Some environmentalists seek toaddress this issue through ecologicaleconomics a discipline that attempts theimpossible by quantifying the full impactof our relationship with the biosphereand assigning a range of dollar values toit This emerging field promises to takethe simple logic behind the free marketand incorporate it into an ecologicallyresponsible framework that looks out forhumans across all time scales not justthose here and now But it takes politi-cal will to embrace such a transformativescience Itrsquos in everyonersquos best interest toacknowledge and prepare for a hot andcrowded future and the simplest way toconfront this harsh reality and limit thedamage is to assume full responsibilityfor our destructive habits To curb ourbehavior we need to cover our debts andpay the full price of our actions upfront
The free market can behave responsi-bly toward the planet and toward futuregenerations if it runs on eco-economicsThis budding discipline promises to unitetwo seemingly disparate philosophiesand provide an accurate and scientificreassessment of our lifestyles Call menaiumlve for suggesting that green and con-servative can be one and the sameKyle Davis is a senior majoring inenvironmental science
Crimson Ride drivers should be considerateBy Amber PattersonStaff Columnist
The Crimson Ride transportation system is a great resource for stu-dents both those who live on campus and those who commute The addition of the new Crimson Express route has become abso-lutely vital for me since I commute to campus and park near the baseball field which is basically in the middle of nowhere The bus drivers even wait for students that seem to be running a little late in the mornings sprinting to the bus stop from their cars ndash another thing of which I am guilty
And while I do appreci-ate the bus drivers and their attribution to the University as always
there is room for improve-ment Recently I boarded the bus just in time to make it to class 10 min-utes early or so I thought My early planning would have been successful if the bus driver did not decide to stop for almost 10 min-utes to converse with a fellow driver through his window This was not just a friendly chat or a brief hello they had a full con-versation while he had almost an entire bus full of people I thought this was an isolated incident until I learned that my room-mate experienced a simi-lar situation while taking the shuttle back to our apartment The bus driver decided he needed almost 30 minutes to smoke a cig-arette and spark various conversations
I am aware that all employees need a break I would need one too if I was driving all day espe-cially if it was the same route every day I am not against them having a break I just ask that driv-ers would be consider-ate of the fact that most of their passengers are students that have class and need to get to those classes on time Their job is to provide timely trans-portation I will admit that it is partially the studentsrsquo responsibility to board the bus at a decent time to arrive to class promptly but with students taking more than 15 hours like myself our time between classes is little making time very precious
It is known at the bus hub that a student can
expect to wait 20 minutes or a little more because it is the place where the bus drivers transition but not in the middle of their routes When I first arrived on campus figuring out the bus sys-tem took me awhile but when I finally learned all the routes and carefully mapped out which one to take I did not calculate bus driver conversation time I should not have to I appreciate the bus driv-ers of this campus and all that they do for students and faculty All I am ask-ing is for equal consider-ation for fellow students and myselfAmber Patterson is a sophomore majoring in marketing and public relations Her column runs on Thursday
Wilson reminds us to daydream lsquosoldier onrsquoBy Sophia FazalStaff Columnist
We took our seats at the cool dark lab tables and I began to get even more anxious There were only about 10 of us in the room and among such royalty at that Thanks to Dr Christopher Lynn and his Human Behavioral Ecology Research Group I was able to score VIP seats to a meet and greet with Harvard Universityrsquos internationally renowned biologist Dr E O Wilson the night after his lecture ldquoThe Social Conquest of Earthrdquo here at The University of Alabama
Nonchalantly he start-ed that morning by telling a story of two not so inter-ested biologists sitting around a teaching lounge talking about what they would name their new department If you can believe it that was the day evolutionary biology was born
Wilson said science is the key to all of lifersquos secrets and science is in need of some serious ten-der love and care
After reading his book ldquoCreationrdquo it makes a lot more sense why he says this The book is essen-tially a short and sweet letter to a pastor where Wilson asks for his help in uniting religion and sci-ence to preserve biodiver-sity across the globe Just a simple request
ldquoPastor we need your
helprdquo Wilson wrote ldquoHalf the species of plants and animals on Earth could be either gone or at least fated for early extinction by the end of the centuryrdquo
Wilsonrsquos goal is to push science and young sci-entists to the edge and reverse the decline of a crucial scientific era His next book ldquoLetters to a Young Scientistrdquo will do just that but for now he was able to enlighten us with what he calls ldquothe three archetypes for a budding scientistsrdquo
First he says to hunt for the lost world for Wilson that was some-thing he recently encoun-tered within his field of study at the age of 82 Last year Wilson was able to take samples from a vir-gin forest in Gorongosa Mozambique something hersquos wanted to do his whole life
Second is to search for the Holy Grail Specifically your own Holy Grail no matter where you are
ldquoTherersquos a grail in your field there is always that something that everybody wants to knowrdquo Wilson said
The third is a lit-tle complicated good vs evil Here Wilson explains how these three archetypes will combine to create an authority Scientists get to choose what they study and what they fight for therein lies that grail So it is up to the budding scientists
to choose whether or not they want to help humani-ty or just take it for grant-ed To Wilson this is most important because the future lies within their hands
ldquoYou can become an authority at a very young age if you run from the sound of gunsrdquo Wilson said demanding our attention at this point
He explained how choosing a field of study just because it is easy or popular will not get you very far As the leading authority on ants Wilson was able to transition over to human evolution with ease but opportunities like that do not happen to the masses So letrsquos travel the unbeaten path Check
His idea is to push each young scientist to imagi-nation and open minded-ness Daydreaming is one thing he emphasized for all to do (Seriously I have that down especially in Spanish)
ldquoVery bright people in my opinion they are often not innovators or creatorsrdquo Wilson said when talking about how 120 is the ideal IQ and
incidentally three points shy of his own
To him the stereotypi-cal genius doesnrsquot have the hard work passion and persistence that one needs to become a pio-neer Breezing through school is clearly not his idea of a victory
ldquoYoursquove got to soldier on and get the work donerdquo Wilson said
Science needs innova-tors and creators and Wilsonrsquos calling has been to let the young know that today science can save the world but only as long as there is still science left to go around
Wilson chatted with us for a full two hours and at the end com-plained about how short our gathering seemed He listened patiently and advised wholeheartedly I was moved to some seri-ous critical thinking on life followed by a ldquoRoll Tiderdquo from a fellow Bama native
Touched by all his efforts and the efforts of groups like HBERG that are here every day push-ing science to the next level I was moved to write this article Take a minute to appreciate the world around you because you may never see it like this again
ldquoDonrsquot be afraidrdquo Wilson said in the end ldquoyou are neededrdquoSophia Fazal is a senior majoring in anthropology

Many students meet with their academic advisor only once per semester and rarely make use of their professorsrsquo office hours
This October the Student Government Association hopes to change that by launching an Academic Scavenger Hunt to promote helpful academic assets on campus that are free to stu-dents as well as help stu-dents build relationships with their advisors
ldquoWe are encouraging stu-dents to become aware of the resources that their tuition already pays for as well as use the advice of their academic advisorsrdquo SGA executive press secretary
Meagan Bryant said The Academic Scavenger
Hunt includes prizes such as a 16GB iPad Ray-Ban sun-glasses and $500 and $1000 scholarships donated by the SGA
ldquoThe scavenger hunt seemed like a great idea because we could incorpo-rate different parts of cam-pus such as DegreeWorks academic advising teachersrsquo office hours and the writ-ing centerrdquo Denzel Evans-Bell SGA vice president for Academic Affairs said
To complete the passport supplied by the SGA for the Academic Scavenger Hunt students need two signatures from their teachers after meeting with them during office hours followed by an appointment with an advisor
to receive the third signature Students must then visit
an academic resource center such as the writing center for their fourth signature Lastly students must complete their DegreeWorks before turning in their completed passport to qualify for a prize
ldquoThis is beneficial and fun to the students because they can gain so much from itrdquo Evans-Bell said ldquoThey will fill out their DegreeWorks and get to meet privately with their professors all of the things that are stressed for students to do during their college careers and they can win prizes doing itrdquo
The Academic Scavenger Hunt begins Oct 1 and all completed passports are due to the SGA office on Oct 26 by 5 pm

Watch doctoral composition student Amir Zaheri in the hall-ways of Moody for a few minutes and it will become clear he has a personality that draws people toward him Soft-spoken yet direct Zaheri has an intuitive nature that makes him a popular source for advice This insightful-ness influences his compositions which in recent months have brought him major rewards
A Narramore Fellow and student of C P First Zaheri was a featured composer on ComposersCirclecom this past summer He has also celebrated new publications new commis-sions and premiere performances in the last few months
ldquoWhen Amir first arrived at the University he was already an accomplished composer with an international reputation but dur-ing his time here he has really refined his language narrative
and compositional techniquerdquo First a composition professor said
Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profilerdquo was recently selected for perfor-mance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National
Conference which will be held at Capital University this fall The digital piece was also selected for performance at the 2nd Annual Electroacoustic Barn Dance Festival at the University of Mary Washington
ldquoIt actually started out as a
jokerdquo Zaheri said It was my first digital piece for a class but when I brought it in Dr First was like lsquoAmir thatrsquos actually pretty goodrsquordquo
Zaheri brought it in to work on with his teacher Since then the piece has gathered its own follow-ing
ldquoEvery composer has their nicherdquo he said ldquo Perhaps Irsquove just discovered mine ndash dating profile soundtracksrdquo
Zaherirsquos successes speak not only for him but also for the quali-ty of work coming from the School of Music
ldquoWe are extremely proud of Amir and his accomplishmentsrdquo Charles ldquoSkiprdquo Snead director of the School of Music said ldquoHe exemplifies all of the characteris-tics that we hope to see in every graduate student His success on the regional and national level reflects extremely well on our programrdquo
As a composer in residence for The University of Alabama Opera Theatre hersquos currently
working on a musical entitled ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo to be performed in spring 2013
ldquoOne of my favorite styles is musical theatre along the lines of Noel Coward and Irving Berlinrdquo Zaheri said
When he sat down with Paul Houghtaling director of the UA Opera Theatre to discuss the next step for the company Zaheri knew it was time for a musical
ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo explores the relationships of several couples in a diner setting It includes a myriad of characters from a neu-rotic girlfriend and boyfriend whose love keeps them strong to the dinerrsquos hostess who is experi-encing the pain of a breakup with no closure Interwoven is the con-stant theme ldquoAnything can hap-pen over dinnerrdquo
Zaherirsquos partnership with UA Opera Theatre has been in place since he arrived at the University in January 2011
Snead believes that Zaherirsquos composer-in-residence status
illustrates the special collabora-tive nature that is standard for the composition department
ldquoBy nature composers are a collaborative grouprdquo he said They depend on the efforts of oth-ers for the ultimate realization of their achievements Likewise performers depend on willing and collaborative composers for the perpetuation of the art Amirrsquos relationship with our University Opera Theatre is an outstanding example of this ongoing relation-shiprdquo
Even with a constantly packed schedule of performances and teaching Zaheri has time to reflect on his work
ldquoItrsquos like being a parentrdquo Zaheri said ldquoYou care for them and hope they will help people to think and be healing and loving I think I am part of a minority of people on the planet who have the opportunity to do what one loves and make a difference in othersrsquo lives through it At a certain point I view that as a responsibilityrdquo

ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo sees Wes Anderson return to live-action filmmaking after a break of five years since the underwhelm-ing ldquoThe Darjeeling Limitedrdquo Thankfully Andersonrsquos new picture is a return to form and his best film since ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquo
In his career which now spans 10 years Wes Anderson has managed to cre-ate a distinct style which is shared in all of his films and ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo perfect-ly demonstrates Andersonrsquos
recognizable visual and thematic blueprint Like almost all of his films ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo fea-tures a vibrant color palette a dysfunctional family and a hilar-ious show-stealing performance from Bill Murray
The cast which Anderson has assembled is probably the most accomplished and diverse he has ever worked with featuring Frances McDormand Harvey Keitel and Tilda Swinton The two biggest names on the cast list Edward Norton and Bruce Willis deliver brilliant comi-cal performances and Norton is particularly impressive in his first major comedic role of his
career But the most surprising performances of the film come from the two young stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward who were both 13 during filming and who give the film a rich emotion-al warmth
Set on the charming fic-tional island of New Penzance ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo tells the coming-of-age story of Sam Shakusky (Gilman) a troubled orphan who runs away from his summer scout group with Suzy Bishop (Hayward) a girl who is equally as alienated as Sam But hot on pursuit of the runaway lovers are the diligent Scout Master Randy Ward (Norton)
and Captain Sharp (Willis) who are aided by Suzyrsquos frantically worried parents played by the constantly duelling McDormand and Murray
This film will appeal to those who are already fans of Wes Anderson and his examination of the family dynamic
But what makes ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo stand apart from these films is Andersonrsquos focus on his two young main char-acters Anderson captures the innocence of first love as well as the confusion of ado-lescence but manages to pro-vide both sentimentality and hilarity in equal measure The
dialogue is razor sharp and as expected the trademark Anderson wit and awkward-ness are fully present
Most striking about the script are the interactions between Sam and Suzy which feel incredibly genuine and make their summer romance completely believable Gilman is a rare breed of actor who is able to handle the quirks of Andersonrsquos script with the ease of Andersonrsquos regular col-laborators Jason Schwartzman and Murray and it would not be surprising to see Gilman return to work with the director on future films
On a visual level the film
is gorgeous and in true Wes Anderson fashion nearly every single shot is framed centrally a technique which has almost become an inside joke to fans of the director The fact that the film is so self-aware that it is a Wes Anderson picture means that ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo is a sure-fire hit to fans of the direc-tor and ranks with ldquoRushmorerdquoand ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquoas one of Andersonrsquos greatest films
It embraces his own style yet delivers a highly cre-ative and original depic-tion of the awkwardness of growing up
Music studentrsquos composition makes national noise
CW | Jingyu WanAmir Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profi lerdquo was recently selected for performance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National Conference
The love interest in The University of Alabamarsquos new play is too stupid to sit down Irsquom not exaggerating ndash she spends 30 sec-onds trying to remember how to sit down in a chair The hero falls for her while shersquos strug-gling to say her own name That was the point in ldquoFoolsrdquo when I began to realize what playwright Neil Simon who wrote ldquoThe Odd Couplerdquo had in for us
If yoursquore looking for Simonrsquos quaintly human New Yorkers you wonrsquot find any in the Russian hamlet of Kulyenchikov a town with an ancient curse of stupid-ity And like the townsfolk the show will make you feel dumb Not because yoursquore watching a stream of legitimately ter-
rible jokes but because you find yourself laughing at just about every one
Spunky young bookworm Leon Tolchinsky (John Paul Snead) has come to be the new schoolmaster Suitcase in hand and grinning like Socrates he rattles off a few solil-oquies about the joys of knowl-edge And then meets a man who canrsquot count to 12 or remember his own name Soon Leon realizes itrsquos up to him to break the curse by educating the physicianrsquos daughter Sophia (Natalie Riegel with Esther Workman stepping in Friday and Sunday)
Itrsquos a journey fraught with cheap clicheacutes and third grade puns Formally the gags are Vaudevillian but even the Marx Brothers knew how to count on their fingers The humor leaps from The Beverly Hillbillies to a
YouTube video of a 2-year-old I could almost see Simon stopping to think ldquoNow how can I make this line stupidrdquo
New York apparently hated it ndash it closed after just five weeks on Broadway But the UA troupe has always had a soft spot for mis-fit scripts and it waves Simonrsquos inanity like a battle flag Sneadrsquos wide-eyed Leon could pass for one of the missionaries in ldquoThe Book of Mormonrdquo his evil land baron rival (Samuel Hardy) looks like Count Chocula at a disco-thegraveque and they all frolic around a set that could be from Sesame Street
The show flaunts every cheap pun tramples Simonrsquos feeble attempts at sentiment and dares the audience not to enjoy it The air in the tiny Allen Bales Theatre gets so thick with sil-
liness that you either laugh or suffocate
Good thing too because despite a few awkward rashes of philosophy there isnrsquot any wisdom in the foolishness Sneadrsquos Leon is great fun but is no more relatable than any of the idiots Sophia challenges his presumptions about intellect but
shersquos too infantile to make any headway before everything is solved by ndash surprise - the power of love
ldquoThere is nothing like the logic of an illogical mindrdquo Leon says before Sophia forgets one-plus-one
I read later that ldquoFoolsrdquo is so bewildering to fans of Neil
Simon that some swear he wrote it to be a flop ldquoProducersrdquo style And even at the theatre I could tell that the Universityrsquos pro-duction is a lot more fun than the play deserved to be But the UA troupe does it exactly right It doesnrsquot try to break the Curse of Kulyenchokov it just puts it on the audience

Absurdity of lsquoFoolsrsquo performances leaves every audience laughing

The Sonic Frontiers con-cert series sponsored by New College and Creative Campus is kicking off its second season of avant-garde performances with a concert by Chicago-based trio Vox Arcana Friday Sept 28 at 730 pm in Moody Music Building
The trio is comprised of leader and percussionist Tim Daisy clar-inetist James Falzone and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who also plays electronic instruments Vox Arcanarsquos experimental sound comes from the com-bination of the compositional structure of modern classical music and the triorsquos more flex-ible improvisational format
The freedom of Vox Arcanarsquos improvisational format leaves a lot of room for change in the grouprsquos music Though the compositions remain the same performances differ from night to night
ldquoIrsquom looking forward to how the music is going to changerdquo Daisy said ldquoA lot of itrsquos com-posed but therersquos also a lot of room for improvisation and the compositions change a lot night after night and thatrsquos something Irsquom very interested inrdquo
Vox Arcana uses a variety of instruments and styles to create various experimental textures Daisy will augment his drum set with kick pans bells and other sound-making materials while Lonberg-Holm will create tex-tures of sound with electronic
distortion and amplificationldquoYoursquore going to see us up
there working on our music which deals with a lot of com-posed material with a lot of room for improvisationrdquo Daisy
said ldquoYoursquoll see us working through our material hopefully playing it well and having a big timerdquo
Daisy said playing in an aca-demic setting rather than a club
or other venue makes the con-cert much more open to audi-ence interaction and conversa-tions about the music The band is happy to discuss their music and show scores after their performance to anyone who is interested
ldquoI usually get a lot more ques-tions from the audience in a more academic settingrdquo Daisy said ldquoI usually meet a lot more people wanting to talk and ana-lyze [the music] a little more Irsquom really looking forward to thatrdquo
Sonic Frontiersrsquo 2012-2013 season has grown in more ways than one This season will span both semesters include more performances and try to inte-grate more of the Tuscaloosa area by expanding to off-cam-pus events The series is also
expanding globally bringing in artists from as far away as the Czech Republic and Germany
Though Sonic Frontiers brings new ideas to campus it is by no means a one-way cultural exchange Giving visiting artists a chance to engage with local culture creates a reciprocal cir-culation of ideas
ldquoThe whole idea is to get ideas circulatingrdquo said Andrew Dewar assistant professor of New College and the School of Music and assistant director of Creative Campus ldquoBy having global artists and national art-ists not only do people here get to interact with a different cul-ture and set of ideas and musical sounds but the visiting musi-cians are interacting with whatrsquos happening hererdquo

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld

Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo
Saban said he still remem-bers watching the game in which Stallings and his team won Alabama its 12th nation-al title in football
ldquoI still think of all the games I remember or I ever watchedrdquo Saban said ldquothe game they played to win the national championship in the Sugar Bowl was one of the most fantastic teams and fan-tastic games I can remember watchingrdquo
Saban said he was also proud of the way the gym-nastics team performed last season and was happy it was going to be honored alongside the 1992 national title team
ldquoWersquore really really proud of all of our other sports who have a lot of successrdquo Saban said ldquoespecially the three womenrsquos sports that won national championships [last season]rdquo

Tide begins prepping for 1st SEC competitionCROSS COUNTRY
WOMENrsquoS GOLF
By Charlie PotterContributing Writer
The Alabama cross coun-try teams will face their third test of the season this week-end when they participate in the 57th Annual Notre Dame Invitational
The race will take place Friday Sept 28 at the Notre Dame golf course on the schoolrsquos campus in South Bend Ind Both teams will be run-ning in the blue division races
beginning with the womenrsquos race at 315 pm
The Crimson Tide is com-ing off its first SEC competi-tion at the Commodore Classic in Nashville Tenn where the womenrsquos and menrsquos teams fin-ished in fifth and 15th place respectively Head coach Dan Waters attributes his teamsrsquo results to their collegiate inex-perience
ldquoWe just canrsquot get around the fact that wersquore young and wersquore just going to have to learnrdquo
Waters said ldquoItrsquos just going to be part of our growing processrdquo
However Waters said the structure of the course in South Bend will be great for the devel-opment of the Tidersquos young runners and will help them bet-ter understand the elements of cross country Notre Damersquos golf course ndash that serves as the schoolrsquos running course for cross country meets ndash is very flat and Waters said jok-ingly that the desk in his office has more hills than the actual course
ldquoTypically this race goes out
incredibly fastrdquo Waters said ldquoItrsquos a flatter faster type of course Our athletes are going to have to get accustomed to seeing a fast pace and be able
to stay positive and still execute a race plan for the bottom half of the racerdquo
On top of the different course layout the run-ners will also be facing a more diverse mixture of schools The Notre Dame Invitational will host several Big
Ten schools like Ohio State and Michigan as well as Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Princeton
The SEC will also be well-represented at the meet Aside from Alabama Mississippi State and Texas AampM will be running Waters is glad to see a variety of competition for his growing team
ldquoItrsquos exactly what they need to seerdquo Waters said ldquoAs we grow for the future they need to know whatrsquos out there and they need to see the very best competition Thatrsquos why itrsquos on the schedulerdquo
The youth and inexperience of the cross country roster is slowly diminishing with every meet but for one runner the Notre Dame Invitational will be his first taste of competition in the college ranks and in the United States
Robbie Farnham-Rose a freshman from Borough Green
England will make his season debut for the Crimson Tide Friday
Waters said choosing to run his newest athlete at this time was due to the flatter faster type of course which is some-thing Farnham-Rose has had success running in the past But the experience of running with some of the countryrsquos best ath-letes canrsquot hurt either
ldquoItrsquos just an opportunity for him to compete and enjoy com-peting for the Crimson Tiderdquo Waters said
For Farnham-Rose this expe-rience will be new for him He is used to competing for a club team rather than a university but he is looking forward to spending time with his new teammates on the road to Indiana

HCA screens Invisible Childrenrsquos fi lm lsquoThe RescuersquoBy Mark HammontreeContributing Writer
The Honors College Assembly hosted representatives of the Invisible Children organization Tuesday to screen their 2009 documentary ldquoThe Rescuerdquo
Invisible Childrenrsquos films focus on the violence and pov-erty that plagues east and central Africa because of the actions of warlord Joseph Kony and his Lordrsquos Resistance Army Invisible Children is one of the most well-known groups striv-ing to raise awareness of Konyrsquos crimes and provide aid and hope for the troubled people in the region
The original 2004 documentary depicted the abuses of Kony in northern Uganda Konyrsquos crimes since he gained power in 1987 are many including the brutal prac-tice of abducting children from local villages and brainwashing them into being the LRArsquos ldquochild soldiersrdquo The film sparked a national movement and Invisible Children Inc was formed to more actively combat the issues Since 2005 the organization has been involved in bringing awareness to Konyrsquos activities by releasing films that are toured around the country at venues ranging from Sunday school classrooms to col-lege campuses
Last year former director of
academic engagement of the HCA Austin Lafferty invited the Invisible Children ldquoroadiesrdquo to bring their movement to The University of Alabama
ldquoHaving a nonprofit like Invisible Children come to show-case their work ask for help have those discussions and even take constructive criticism from our student body can really help us to see what is being done and discover something about our own responsibilities as human beings whether thatrsquos with Invisible Children or in some other wayrdquo Lafferty said ldquoMy college career has drastically changed as a result of that I went from falling into my default of
a business career to actively pursuing a career in human rights lawrdquo
Apwonjo a campus group that works to raise awareness about and provide aid in sub-Saharan Africa co-sponsors Invisible Children events with HCA
Brian Kraus the secretary of Apwonjo said simply donating and sending food while benefi-cial is not enough
ldquoItrsquos so much more rewarding and effective if you actually really understand all sides of the issue and really can not just cure a symptom but actually get at the root of itrdquo Kraus said ldquoI think Invisible Children does a really good job of thatrdquo
By sponsoring these screenings once or twice a year Apwonjo and the HCA hope to bring these issues to the atten-tion of UA students because stu-dents can truly make an impact
ldquoInvisible Children was the first thing that made me look at a global community outside of right hererdquo Maddie Haddock president of Apwonjo said ldquoI think thatrsquos really impor-tant for college students to be exposed tordquo
For Archie Creech Jr an active member of Apwonjo the message is directly tied to his life as a student especially in the light of the devastation of the April 27 2011 tornadoes which
still lingers near campusldquoThe tragedy of the April 2011
tornadoes showed us that we are all bound together in our lives on this Earthrdquo Creech said ldquoOur belief in justice and equality and morality is insulted every time an atrocity happens in the worldrdquo
Creech said students can learn more about the conditions in cen-tral Africa and become involved in providing aid through on-cam-pus groups such as Apwonjo International Justice Mission and Unified for UNIFAT
Invisible Children will be releasing a new documentary in October and will be back to screen it on campus next semester

A public relations firm at The University of Alabama is giv-ing students real-world experi-ence in running communication campaigns
The Capstone Agency has amassed over 30 awards for their work and is looking to continue their progress and expansion this year
Capstone Agency Advisor Teri Henley started working with the firm in 2008 Over the years Henley said she has been impressed with how the student leaders of the Capstone Agency have stepped up to run the orga-nization as a real agency helping real clients
ldquoThe greatest reward is seeing the students grow in the knowl-edge and abilities as they interact with real clients with real bud-gets real issues and real con-straintsrdquo she said
Firm director Jessica Colburn said the Capstone Agency has
worked hard to build a client list for the purpose of highlighting its strengths and abilities to future clients
ldquoIt truly highlights our abili-ties as an agency when we can now say we not only have over 32 local regional and national awards for our work but are now considered lsquoleading expertsrsquo in our fieldrdquo Colburn said
Previously the Capstone Agency focused on work for non-profits and on-campus initiatives
ldquoThis year we are looking to strategically diversify our cli-entele and work with small off-campus businesses in need of communication services for payrdquo Colburn said
The Capstone Agency looks to educate both students and fac-ulty on how to engage students through strategic public relations campaigns at two national con-ferences this semester
The National Outreach Scholarship Conference will be on Oct 3 in Bryant Conference Center and the Public Relations
Student Society of Americarsquos National Conference will be Oct 12 in San Francisco Calif
Colburn said she is excited the agency will be working hard on making one of their current clients LessThanUThink a nationwide brand by implement-ing their campaign in Orange County Calif
Sam Nathews director of media relations who worked on the statewide campaign this past spring as a member of the LessThanUThink team said gaining real-world PR experience through hands-on work with actual clients is invaluable to any PR student
ldquoBecause Capstone Agency offers services that encompass every facet of public relations it provides students the opportuni-ty to further develop and sharpen the skills necessary to help them become successful public rela-tions professionalsrdquo Nathews said

Environmentalism not altruisticLETTER TO THE EDITOR
By Kyle Davis
Irsquom not writing this to appeal to flower children green thumbs habitual recy-clers or conservation advocates They already respect their relationship with nature and quite frankly Irsquove got no beef with them but thatrsquos irrelevant I want instead to start a dialogue with a group of people that Irsquom shocked are typically hostile or otherwise indifferent to stew-ardship and sustainability Irsquom writing to conservatives of all shades from liber-tarians to neo-cons to consider this basic tenant environmentalism to paraphrase science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson is simply selfishness taking the long view by acknowledging the true costs of our actions Thatrsquos something any advocate of fiscal responsibility can surely support
When I say altruism I mean environ-mentalism isnrsquot about helping endan-gered organisms like polar bears and exotic snails to survive simply because wersquore in debt to them for eroding their habitats Itrsquos not about tree-hugging and itrsquos not about serving nature Those philosophies might resonate with more sensitive souls but I expect the great majority of us to simply accept envi-ronmental damage as a cost of doing business ndash our liberated fun-filled and (currently) wasteful consumer lifestyles practically demand it But no matter how much we might wish otherwise the costs will catch up with us sooner or later in a variety of ways
Consider climate change Therersquos a monetary value associated with carbon emissions thatrsquos impossible to nail down with precision yet it exists Fertile lands swallowed up by the sea grasslands suc-cumbed to deserts and entire marine ecosystems scarred by water too hot or too acidic are all likely possibilities as the earth reacts to a sudden and unprec-edented increase in greenhouse gases over the century While these impacts might be terrible for a variety of ethical reasons whatrsquos most relevant is theyrsquore simply prohibitively expensive Cities that donrsquot invest in seawalls will be slowly inundated by the ocean and thousands of communities will be forced to relocate or re-equip themselves for other economic ventures as the climate belts shift The resources we rely on to sustain ourselves will become vastly more difficult to obtain and theyrsquoll have to be split between bil-lions more people in more cramped and stressful conditions This is the erosion of trillions of dollars of productivity and someone has to foot the bill
As of now our children and grandchil-dren will pay the full price not us even
though our irresponsible behavior hascontributed to these various long emer-gencies Does that strike you as fairSurely itrsquos a problem worth addressingYet if we expect the free market to com-bat this dilemma as many conservativesadvocate our situation wonrsquot fundamen-tally improve because of one simple factour current economics hide the true costof our actions
For example what you pay at the pumpfor a gallon of gas is a gross understate-ment of its true burden Every pound ofCO2 emitted alters the ecology of theplanet in some minute way every traceof exhaust contributes to health prob-lems passed on through doctorrsquos visitsand higher insurance premiums andevery fossil fuel if not extracted respon-sibly creates localized environmentalproblems ranging from oil spills totainted groundwater to ravaged moun-taintop ecosystems Summed togetherthese lingering effects create economicmalnourishment and sap future growthThe immediate gratification of cheapand easy gas which makes us competi-tive in the short-term can potentiallyundermine communities and harm themimmensely in the long term yet theprice at the pump does not reflect thesehazards ndash the full cost is footed by latergenerations and passed on as hamperedgrowth throughout the decades
Some environmentalists seek toaddress this issue through ecologicaleconomics a discipline that attempts theimpossible by quantifying the full impactof our relationship with the biosphereand assigning a range of dollar values toit This emerging field promises to takethe simple logic behind the free marketand incorporate it into an ecologicallyresponsible framework that looks out forhumans across all time scales not justthose here and now But it takes politi-cal will to embrace such a transformativescience Itrsquos in everyonersquos best interest toacknowledge and prepare for a hot andcrowded future and the simplest way toconfront this harsh reality and limit thedamage is to assume full responsibilityfor our destructive habits To curb ourbehavior we need to cover our debts andpay the full price of our actions upfront
The free market can behave responsi-bly toward the planet and toward futuregenerations if it runs on eco-economicsThis budding discipline promises to unitetwo seemingly disparate philosophiesand provide an accurate and scientificreassessment of our lifestyles Call menaiumlve for suggesting that green and con-servative can be one and the sameKyle Davis is a senior majoring inenvironmental science
Crimson Ride drivers should be considerateBy Amber PattersonStaff Columnist
The Crimson Ride transportation system is a great resource for stu-dents both those who live on campus and those who commute The addition of the new Crimson Express route has become abso-lutely vital for me since I commute to campus and park near the baseball field which is basically in the middle of nowhere The bus drivers even wait for students that seem to be running a little late in the mornings sprinting to the bus stop from their cars ndash another thing of which I am guilty
And while I do appreci-ate the bus drivers and their attribution to the University as always
there is room for improve-ment Recently I boarded the bus just in time to make it to class 10 min-utes early or so I thought My early planning would have been successful if the bus driver did not decide to stop for almost 10 min-utes to converse with a fellow driver through his window This was not just a friendly chat or a brief hello they had a full con-versation while he had almost an entire bus full of people I thought this was an isolated incident until I learned that my room-mate experienced a simi-lar situation while taking the shuttle back to our apartment The bus driver decided he needed almost 30 minutes to smoke a cig-arette and spark various conversations
I am aware that all employees need a break I would need one too if I was driving all day espe-cially if it was the same route every day I am not against them having a break I just ask that driv-ers would be consider-ate of the fact that most of their passengers are students that have class and need to get to those classes on time Their job is to provide timely trans-portation I will admit that it is partially the studentsrsquo responsibility to board the bus at a decent time to arrive to class promptly but with students taking more than 15 hours like myself our time between classes is little making time very precious
It is known at the bus hub that a student can
expect to wait 20 minutes or a little more because it is the place where the bus drivers transition but not in the middle of their routes When I first arrived on campus figuring out the bus sys-tem took me awhile but when I finally learned all the routes and carefully mapped out which one to take I did not calculate bus driver conversation time I should not have to I appreciate the bus driv-ers of this campus and all that they do for students and faculty All I am ask-ing is for equal consider-ation for fellow students and myselfAmber Patterson is a sophomore majoring in marketing and public relations Her column runs on Thursday
Wilson reminds us to daydream lsquosoldier onrsquoBy Sophia FazalStaff Columnist
We took our seats at the cool dark lab tables and I began to get even more anxious There were only about 10 of us in the room and among such royalty at that Thanks to Dr Christopher Lynn and his Human Behavioral Ecology Research Group I was able to score VIP seats to a meet and greet with Harvard Universityrsquos internationally renowned biologist Dr E O Wilson the night after his lecture ldquoThe Social Conquest of Earthrdquo here at The University of Alabama
Nonchalantly he start-ed that morning by telling a story of two not so inter-ested biologists sitting around a teaching lounge talking about what they would name their new department If you can believe it that was the day evolutionary biology was born
Wilson said science is the key to all of lifersquos secrets and science is in need of some serious ten-der love and care
After reading his book ldquoCreationrdquo it makes a lot more sense why he says this The book is essen-tially a short and sweet letter to a pastor where Wilson asks for his help in uniting religion and sci-ence to preserve biodiver-sity across the globe Just a simple request
ldquoPastor we need your
helprdquo Wilson wrote ldquoHalf the species of plants and animals on Earth could be either gone or at least fated for early extinction by the end of the centuryrdquo
Wilsonrsquos goal is to push science and young sci-entists to the edge and reverse the decline of a crucial scientific era His next book ldquoLetters to a Young Scientistrdquo will do just that but for now he was able to enlighten us with what he calls ldquothe three archetypes for a budding scientistsrdquo
First he says to hunt for the lost world for Wilson that was some-thing he recently encoun-tered within his field of study at the age of 82 Last year Wilson was able to take samples from a vir-gin forest in Gorongosa Mozambique something hersquos wanted to do his whole life
Second is to search for the Holy Grail Specifically your own Holy Grail no matter where you are
ldquoTherersquos a grail in your field there is always that something that everybody wants to knowrdquo Wilson said
The third is a lit-tle complicated good vs evil Here Wilson explains how these three archetypes will combine to create an authority Scientists get to choose what they study and what they fight for therein lies that grail So it is up to the budding scientists
to choose whether or not they want to help humani-ty or just take it for grant-ed To Wilson this is most important because the future lies within their hands
ldquoYou can become an authority at a very young age if you run from the sound of gunsrdquo Wilson said demanding our attention at this point
He explained how choosing a field of study just because it is easy or popular will not get you very far As the leading authority on ants Wilson was able to transition over to human evolution with ease but opportunities like that do not happen to the masses So letrsquos travel the unbeaten path Check
His idea is to push each young scientist to imagi-nation and open minded-ness Daydreaming is one thing he emphasized for all to do (Seriously I have that down especially in Spanish)
ldquoVery bright people in my opinion they are often not innovators or creatorsrdquo Wilson said when talking about how 120 is the ideal IQ and
incidentally three points shy of his own
To him the stereotypi-cal genius doesnrsquot have the hard work passion and persistence that one needs to become a pio-neer Breezing through school is clearly not his idea of a victory
ldquoYoursquove got to soldier on and get the work donerdquo Wilson said
Science needs innova-tors and creators and Wilsonrsquos calling has been to let the young know that today science can save the world but only as long as there is still science left to go around
Wilson chatted with us for a full two hours and at the end com-plained about how short our gathering seemed He listened patiently and advised wholeheartedly I was moved to some seri-ous critical thinking on life followed by a ldquoRoll Tiderdquo from a fellow Bama native
Touched by all his efforts and the efforts of groups like HBERG that are here every day push-ing science to the next level I was moved to write this article Take a minute to appreciate the world around you because you may never see it like this again
ldquoDonrsquot be afraidrdquo Wilson said in the end ldquoyou are neededrdquoSophia Fazal is a senior majoring in anthropology
YOUR VIEWS IN RESPONSE TOlsquoThe unintelligence of teaching
intelligent design in statersquo
ldquoThe vast majority of people will never need to know about this lsquotheoryrsquo to be successful in life The simple
truth is evolutionists want to discredit the Christian Bible and crush peoplersquos faith plain and simplerdquo
ldquoPlease tell me how the theory of evolution proves the existence of God Also you may want to read up on what a theory means in science It doesnrsquot mean a

Many students meet with their academic advisor only once per semester and rarely make use of their professorsrsquo office hours
This October the Student Government Association hopes to change that by launching an Academic Scavenger Hunt to promote helpful academic assets on campus that are free to stu-dents as well as help stu-dents build relationships with their advisors
ldquoWe are encouraging stu-dents to become aware of the resources that their tuition already pays for as well as use the advice of their academic advisorsrdquo SGA executive press secretary
Meagan Bryant said The Academic Scavenger
Hunt includes prizes such as a 16GB iPad Ray-Ban sun-glasses and $500 and $1000 scholarships donated by the SGA
ldquoThe scavenger hunt seemed like a great idea because we could incorpo-rate different parts of cam-pus such as DegreeWorks academic advising teachersrsquo office hours and the writ-ing centerrdquo Denzel Evans-Bell SGA vice president for Academic Affairs said
To complete the passport supplied by the SGA for the Academic Scavenger Hunt students need two signatures from their teachers after meeting with them during office hours followed by an appointment with an advisor
to receive the third signature Students must then visit
an academic resource center such as the writing center for their fourth signature Lastly students must complete their DegreeWorks before turning in their completed passport to qualify for a prize
ldquoThis is beneficial and fun to the students because they can gain so much from itrdquo Evans-Bell said ldquoThey will fill out their DegreeWorks and get to meet privately with their professors all of the things that are stressed for students to do during their college careers and they can win prizes doing itrdquo
The Academic Scavenger Hunt begins Oct 1 and all completed passports are due to the SGA office on Oct 26 by 5 pm

Watch doctoral composition student Amir Zaheri in the hall-ways of Moody for a few minutes and it will become clear he has a personality that draws people toward him Soft-spoken yet direct Zaheri has an intuitive nature that makes him a popular source for advice This insightful-ness influences his compositions which in recent months have brought him major rewards
A Narramore Fellow and student of C P First Zaheri was a featured composer on ComposersCirclecom this past summer He has also celebrated new publications new commis-sions and premiere performances in the last few months
ldquoWhen Amir first arrived at the University he was already an accomplished composer with an international reputation but dur-ing his time here he has really refined his language narrative
and compositional techniquerdquo First a composition professor said
Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profilerdquo was recently selected for perfor-mance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National
Conference which will be held at Capital University this fall The digital piece was also selected for performance at the 2nd Annual Electroacoustic Barn Dance Festival at the University of Mary Washington
ldquoIt actually started out as a
jokerdquo Zaheri said It was my first digital piece for a class but when I brought it in Dr First was like lsquoAmir thatrsquos actually pretty goodrsquordquo
Zaheri brought it in to work on with his teacher Since then the piece has gathered its own follow-ing
ldquoEvery composer has their nicherdquo he said ldquo Perhaps Irsquove just discovered mine ndash dating profile soundtracksrdquo
Zaherirsquos successes speak not only for him but also for the quali-ty of work coming from the School of Music
ldquoWe are extremely proud of Amir and his accomplishmentsrdquo Charles ldquoSkiprdquo Snead director of the School of Music said ldquoHe exemplifies all of the characteris-tics that we hope to see in every graduate student His success on the regional and national level reflects extremely well on our programrdquo
As a composer in residence for The University of Alabama Opera Theatre hersquos currently
working on a musical entitled ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo to be performed in spring 2013
ldquoOne of my favorite styles is musical theatre along the lines of Noel Coward and Irving Berlinrdquo Zaheri said
When he sat down with Paul Houghtaling director of the UA Opera Theatre to discuss the next step for the company Zaheri knew it was time for a musical
ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo explores the relationships of several couples in a diner setting It includes a myriad of characters from a neu-rotic girlfriend and boyfriend whose love keeps them strong to the dinerrsquos hostess who is experi-encing the pain of a breakup with no closure Interwoven is the con-stant theme ldquoAnything can hap-pen over dinnerrdquo
Zaherirsquos partnership with UA Opera Theatre has been in place since he arrived at the University in January 2011
Snead believes that Zaherirsquos composer-in-residence status
illustrates the special collabora-tive nature that is standard for the composition department
ldquoBy nature composers are a collaborative grouprdquo he said They depend on the efforts of oth-ers for the ultimate realization of their achievements Likewise performers depend on willing and collaborative composers for the perpetuation of the art Amirrsquos relationship with our University Opera Theatre is an outstanding example of this ongoing relation-shiprdquo
Even with a constantly packed schedule of performances and teaching Zaheri has time to reflect on his work
ldquoItrsquos like being a parentrdquo Zaheri said ldquoYou care for them and hope they will help people to think and be healing and loving I think I am part of a minority of people on the planet who have the opportunity to do what one loves and make a difference in othersrsquo lives through it At a certain point I view that as a responsibilityrdquo

ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo sees Wes Anderson return to live-action filmmaking after a break of five years since the underwhelm-ing ldquoThe Darjeeling Limitedrdquo Thankfully Andersonrsquos new picture is a return to form and his best film since ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquo
In his career which now spans 10 years Wes Anderson has managed to cre-ate a distinct style which is shared in all of his films and ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo perfect-ly demonstrates Andersonrsquos
recognizable visual and thematic blueprint Like almost all of his films ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo fea-tures a vibrant color palette a dysfunctional family and a hilar-ious show-stealing performance from Bill Murray
The cast which Anderson has assembled is probably the most accomplished and diverse he has ever worked with featuring Frances McDormand Harvey Keitel and Tilda Swinton The two biggest names on the cast list Edward Norton and Bruce Willis deliver brilliant comi-cal performances and Norton is particularly impressive in his first major comedic role of his
career But the most surprising performances of the film come from the two young stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward who were both 13 during filming and who give the film a rich emotion-al warmth
Set on the charming fic-tional island of New Penzance ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo tells the coming-of-age story of Sam Shakusky (Gilman) a troubled orphan who runs away from his summer scout group with Suzy Bishop (Hayward) a girl who is equally as alienated as Sam But hot on pursuit of the runaway lovers are the diligent Scout Master Randy Ward (Norton)
and Captain Sharp (Willis) who are aided by Suzyrsquos frantically worried parents played by the constantly duelling McDormand and Murray
This film will appeal to those who are already fans of Wes Anderson and his examination of the family dynamic
But what makes ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo stand apart from these films is Andersonrsquos focus on his two young main char-acters Anderson captures the innocence of first love as well as the confusion of ado-lescence but manages to pro-vide both sentimentality and hilarity in equal measure The
dialogue is razor sharp and as expected the trademark Anderson wit and awkward-ness are fully present
Most striking about the script are the interactions between Sam and Suzy which feel incredibly genuine and make their summer romance completely believable Gilman is a rare breed of actor who is able to handle the quirks of Andersonrsquos script with the ease of Andersonrsquos regular col-laborators Jason Schwartzman and Murray and it would not be surprising to see Gilman return to work with the director on future films
On a visual level the film
is gorgeous and in true Wes Anderson fashion nearly every single shot is framed centrally a technique which has almost become an inside joke to fans of the director The fact that the film is so self-aware that it is a Wes Anderson picture means that ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo is a sure-fire hit to fans of the direc-tor and ranks with ldquoRushmorerdquoand ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquoas one of Andersonrsquos greatest films
It embraces his own style yet delivers a highly cre-ative and original depic-tion of the awkwardness of growing up
Music studentrsquos composition makes national noise
CW | Jingyu WanAmir Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profi lerdquo was recently selected for performance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National Conference
The love interest in The University of Alabamarsquos new play is too stupid to sit down Irsquom not exaggerating ndash she spends 30 sec-onds trying to remember how to sit down in a chair The hero falls for her while shersquos strug-gling to say her own name That was the point in ldquoFoolsrdquo when I began to realize what playwright Neil Simon who wrote ldquoThe Odd Couplerdquo had in for us
If yoursquore looking for Simonrsquos quaintly human New Yorkers you wonrsquot find any in the Russian hamlet of Kulyenchikov a town with an ancient curse of stupid-ity And like the townsfolk the show will make you feel dumb Not because yoursquore watching a stream of legitimately ter-
rible jokes but because you find yourself laughing at just about every one
Spunky young bookworm Leon Tolchinsky (John Paul Snead) has come to be the new schoolmaster Suitcase in hand and grinning like Socrates he rattles off a few solil-oquies about the joys of knowl-edge And then meets a man who canrsquot count to 12 or remember his own name Soon Leon realizes itrsquos up to him to break the curse by educating the physicianrsquos daughter Sophia (Natalie Riegel with Esther Workman stepping in Friday and Sunday)
Itrsquos a journey fraught with cheap clicheacutes and third grade puns Formally the gags are Vaudevillian but even the Marx Brothers knew how to count on their fingers The humor leaps from The Beverly Hillbillies to a
YouTube video of a 2-year-old I could almost see Simon stopping to think ldquoNow how can I make this line stupidrdquo
New York apparently hated it ndash it closed after just five weeks on Broadway But the UA troupe has always had a soft spot for mis-fit scripts and it waves Simonrsquos inanity like a battle flag Sneadrsquos wide-eyed Leon could pass for one of the missionaries in ldquoThe Book of Mormonrdquo his evil land baron rival (Samuel Hardy) looks like Count Chocula at a disco-thegraveque and they all frolic around a set that could be from Sesame Street
The show flaunts every cheap pun tramples Simonrsquos feeble attempts at sentiment and dares the audience not to enjoy it The air in the tiny Allen Bales Theatre gets so thick with sil-
liness that you either laugh or suffocate
Good thing too because despite a few awkward rashes of philosophy there isnrsquot any wisdom in the foolishness Sneadrsquos Leon is great fun but is no more relatable than any of the idiots Sophia challenges his presumptions about intellect but
shersquos too infantile to make any headway before everything is solved by ndash surprise - the power of love
ldquoThere is nothing like the logic of an illogical mindrdquo Leon says before Sophia forgets one-plus-one
I read later that ldquoFoolsrdquo is so bewildering to fans of Neil
Simon that some swear he wrote it to be a flop ldquoProducersrdquo style And even at the theatre I could tell that the Universityrsquos pro-duction is a lot more fun than the play deserved to be But the UA troupe does it exactly right It doesnrsquot try to break the Curse of Kulyenchokov it just puts it on the audience

Absurdity of lsquoFoolsrsquo performances leaves every audience laughing

The Sonic Frontiers con-cert series sponsored by New College and Creative Campus is kicking off its second season of avant-garde performances with a concert by Chicago-based trio Vox Arcana Friday Sept 28 at 730 pm in Moody Music Building
The trio is comprised of leader and percussionist Tim Daisy clar-inetist James Falzone and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who also plays electronic instruments Vox Arcanarsquos experimental sound comes from the com-bination of the compositional structure of modern classical music and the triorsquos more flex-ible improvisational format
The freedom of Vox Arcanarsquos improvisational format leaves a lot of room for change in the grouprsquos music Though the compositions remain the same performances differ from night to night
ldquoIrsquom looking forward to how the music is going to changerdquo Daisy said ldquoA lot of itrsquos com-posed but therersquos also a lot of room for improvisation and the compositions change a lot night after night and thatrsquos something Irsquom very interested inrdquo
Vox Arcana uses a variety of instruments and styles to create various experimental textures Daisy will augment his drum set with kick pans bells and other sound-making materials while Lonberg-Holm will create tex-tures of sound with electronic
distortion and amplificationldquoYoursquore going to see us up
there working on our music which deals with a lot of com-posed material with a lot of room for improvisationrdquo Daisy
said ldquoYoursquoll see us working through our material hopefully playing it well and having a big timerdquo
Daisy said playing in an aca-demic setting rather than a club
or other venue makes the con-cert much more open to audi-ence interaction and conversa-tions about the music The band is happy to discuss their music and show scores after their performance to anyone who is interested
ldquoI usually get a lot more ques-tions from the audience in a more academic settingrdquo Daisy said ldquoI usually meet a lot more people wanting to talk and ana-lyze [the music] a little more Irsquom really looking forward to thatrdquo
Sonic Frontiersrsquo 2012-2013 season has grown in more ways than one This season will span both semesters include more performances and try to inte-grate more of the Tuscaloosa area by expanding to off-cam-pus events The series is also
expanding globally bringing in artists from as far away as the Czech Republic and Germany
Though Sonic Frontiers brings new ideas to campus it is by no means a one-way cultural exchange Giving visiting artists a chance to engage with local culture creates a reciprocal cir-culation of ideas
ldquoThe whole idea is to get ideas circulatingrdquo said Andrew Dewar assistant professor of New College and the School of Music and assistant director of Creative Campus ldquoBy having global artists and national art-ists not only do people here get to interact with a different cul-ture and set of ideas and musical sounds but the visiting musi-cians are interacting with whatrsquos happening hererdquo

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld

Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo
Saban said he still remem-bers watching the game in which Stallings and his team won Alabama its 12th nation-al title in football
ldquoI still think of all the games I remember or I ever watchedrdquo Saban said ldquothe game they played to win the national championship in the Sugar Bowl was one of the most fantastic teams and fan-tastic games I can remember watchingrdquo
Saban said he was also proud of the way the gym-nastics team performed last season and was happy it was going to be honored alongside the 1992 national title team
ldquoWersquore really really proud of all of our other sports who have a lot of successrdquo Saban said ldquoespecially the three womenrsquos sports that won national championships [last season]rdquo

Tide begins prepping for 1st SEC competitionCROSS COUNTRY
WOMENrsquoS GOLF
By Charlie PotterContributing Writer
The Alabama cross coun-try teams will face their third test of the season this week-end when they participate in the 57th Annual Notre Dame Invitational
The race will take place Friday Sept 28 at the Notre Dame golf course on the schoolrsquos campus in South Bend Ind Both teams will be run-ning in the blue division races
beginning with the womenrsquos race at 315 pm
The Crimson Tide is com-ing off its first SEC competi-tion at the Commodore Classic in Nashville Tenn where the womenrsquos and menrsquos teams fin-ished in fifth and 15th place respectively Head coach Dan Waters attributes his teamsrsquo results to their collegiate inex-perience
ldquoWe just canrsquot get around the fact that wersquore young and wersquore just going to have to learnrdquo
Waters said ldquoItrsquos just going to be part of our growing processrdquo
However Waters said the structure of the course in South Bend will be great for the devel-opment of the Tidersquos young runners and will help them bet-ter understand the elements of cross country Notre Damersquos golf course ndash that serves as the schoolrsquos running course for cross country meets ndash is very flat and Waters said jok-ingly that the desk in his office has more hills than the actual course
ldquoTypically this race goes out
incredibly fastrdquo Waters said ldquoItrsquos a flatter faster type of course Our athletes are going to have to get accustomed to seeing a fast pace and be able
to stay positive and still execute a race plan for the bottom half of the racerdquo
On top of the different course layout the run-ners will also be facing a more diverse mixture of schools The Notre Dame Invitational will host several Big
Ten schools like Ohio State and Michigan as well as Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Princeton
The SEC will also be well-represented at the meet Aside from Alabama Mississippi State and Texas AampM will be running Waters is glad to see a variety of competition for his growing team
ldquoItrsquos exactly what they need to seerdquo Waters said ldquoAs we grow for the future they need to know whatrsquos out there and they need to see the very best competition Thatrsquos why itrsquos on the schedulerdquo
The youth and inexperience of the cross country roster is slowly diminishing with every meet but for one runner the Notre Dame Invitational will be his first taste of competition in the college ranks and in the United States
Robbie Farnham-Rose a freshman from Borough Green
England will make his season debut for the Crimson Tide Friday
Waters said choosing to run his newest athlete at this time was due to the flatter faster type of course which is some-thing Farnham-Rose has had success running in the past But the experience of running with some of the countryrsquos best ath-letes canrsquot hurt either
ldquoItrsquos just an opportunity for him to compete and enjoy com-peting for the Crimson Tiderdquo Waters said
For Farnham-Rose this expe-rience will be new for him He is used to competing for a club team rather than a university but he is looking forward to spending time with his new teammates on the road to Indiana

Environmentalism not altruisticLETTER TO THE EDITOR
By Kyle Davis
Irsquom not writing this to appeal to flower children green thumbs habitual recy-clers or conservation advocates They already respect their relationship with nature and quite frankly Irsquove got no beef with them but thatrsquos irrelevant I want instead to start a dialogue with a group of people that Irsquom shocked are typically hostile or otherwise indifferent to stew-ardship and sustainability Irsquom writing to conservatives of all shades from liber-tarians to neo-cons to consider this basic tenant environmentalism to paraphrase science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson is simply selfishness taking the long view by acknowledging the true costs of our actions Thatrsquos something any advocate of fiscal responsibility can surely support
When I say altruism I mean environ-mentalism isnrsquot about helping endan-gered organisms like polar bears and exotic snails to survive simply because wersquore in debt to them for eroding their habitats Itrsquos not about tree-hugging and itrsquos not about serving nature Those philosophies might resonate with more sensitive souls but I expect the great majority of us to simply accept envi-ronmental damage as a cost of doing business ndash our liberated fun-filled and (currently) wasteful consumer lifestyles practically demand it But no matter how much we might wish otherwise the costs will catch up with us sooner or later in a variety of ways
Consider climate change Therersquos a monetary value associated with carbon emissions thatrsquos impossible to nail down with precision yet it exists Fertile lands swallowed up by the sea grasslands suc-cumbed to deserts and entire marine ecosystems scarred by water too hot or too acidic are all likely possibilities as the earth reacts to a sudden and unprec-edented increase in greenhouse gases over the century While these impacts might be terrible for a variety of ethical reasons whatrsquos most relevant is theyrsquore simply prohibitively expensive Cities that donrsquot invest in seawalls will be slowly inundated by the ocean and thousands of communities will be forced to relocate or re-equip themselves for other economic ventures as the climate belts shift The resources we rely on to sustain ourselves will become vastly more difficult to obtain and theyrsquoll have to be split between bil-lions more people in more cramped and stressful conditions This is the erosion of trillions of dollars of productivity and someone has to foot the bill
As of now our children and grandchil-dren will pay the full price not us even
though our irresponsible behavior hascontributed to these various long emer-gencies Does that strike you as fairSurely itrsquos a problem worth addressingYet if we expect the free market to com-bat this dilemma as many conservativesadvocate our situation wonrsquot fundamen-tally improve because of one simple factour current economics hide the true costof our actions
For example what you pay at the pumpfor a gallon of gas is a gross understate-ment of its true burden Every pound ofCO2 emitted alters the ecology of theplanet in some minute way every traceof exhaust contributes to health prob-lems passed on through doctorrsquos visitsand higher insurance premiums andevery fossil fuel if not extracted respon-sibly creates localized environmentalproblems ranging from oil spills totainted groundwater to ravaged moun-taintop ecosystems Summed togetherthese lingering effects create economicmalnourishment and sap future growthThe immediate gratification of cheapand easy gas which makes us competi-tive in the short-term can potentiallyundermine communities and harm themimmensely in the long term yet theprice at the pump does not reflect thesehazards ndash the full cost is footed by latergenerations and passed on as hamperedgrowth throughout the decades
Some environmentalists seek toaddress this issue through ecologicaleconomics a discipline that attempts theimpossible by quantifying the full impactof our relationship with the biosphereand assigning a range of dollar values toit This emerging field promises to takethe simple logic behind the free marketand incorporate it into an ecologicallyresponsible framework that looks out forhumans across all time scales not justthose here and now But it takes politi-cal will to embrace such a transformativescience Itrsquos in everyonersquos best interest toacknowledge and prepare for a hot andcrowded future and the simplest way toconfront this harsh reality and limit thedamage is to assume full responsibilityfor our destructive habits To curb ourbehavior we need to cover our debts andpay the full price of our actions upfront
The free market can behave responsi-bly toward the planet and toward futuregenerations if it runs on eco-economicsThis budding discipline promises to unitetwo seemingly disparate philosophiesand provide an accurate and scientificreassessment of our lifestyles Call menaiumlve for suggesting that green and con-servative can be one and the sameKyle Davis is a senior majoring inenvironmental science
Crimson Ride drivers should be considerateBy Amber PattersonStaff Columnist
The Crimson Ride transportation system is a great resource for stu-dents both those who live on campus and those who commute The addition of the new Crimson Express route has become abso-lutely vital for me since I commute to campus and park near the baseball field which is basically in the middle of nowhere The bus drivers even wait for students that seem to be running a little late in the mornings sprinting to the bus stop from their cars ndash another thing of which I am guilty
And while I do appreci-ate the bus drivers and their attribution to the University as always
there is room for improve-ment Recently I boarded the bus just in time to make it to class 10 min-utes early or so I thought My early planning would have been successful if the bus driver did not decide to stop for almost 10 min-utes to converse with a fellow driver through his window This was not just a friendly chat or a brief hello they had a full con-versation while he had almost an entire bus full of people I thought this was an isolated incident until I learned that my room-mate experienced a simi-lar situation while taking the shuttle back to our apartment The bus driver decided he needed almost 30 minutes to smoke a cig-arette and spark various conversations
I am aware that all employees need a break I would need one too if I was driving all day espe-cially if it was the same route every day I am not against them having a break I just ask that driv-ers would be consider-ate of the fact that most of their passengers are students that have class and need to get to those classes on time Their job is to provide timely trans-portation I will admit that it is partially the studentsrsquo responsibility to board the bus at a decent time to arrive to class promptly but with students taking more than 15 hours like myself our time between classes is little making time very precious
It is known at the bus hub that a student can
expect to wait 20 minutes or a little more because it is the place where the bus drivers transition but not in the middle of their routes When I first arrived on campus figuring out the bus sys-tem took me awhile but when I finally learned all the routes and carefully mapped out which one to take I did not calculate bus driver conversation time I should not have to I appreciate the bus driv-ers of this campus and all that they do for students and faculty All I am ask-ing is for equal consider-ation for fellow students and myselfAmber Patterson is a sophomore majoring in marketing and public relations Her column runs on Thursday
Wilson reminds us to daydream lsquosoldier onrsquoBy Sophia FazalStaff Columnist
We took our seats at the cool dark lab tables and I began to get even more anxious There were only about 10 of us in the room and among such royalty at that Thanks to Dr Christopher Lynn and his Human Behavioral Ecology Research Group I was able to score VIP seats to a meet and greet with Harvard Universityrsquos internationally renowned biologist Dr E O Wilson the night after his lecture ldquoThe Social Conquest of Earthrdquo here at The University of Alabama
Nonchalantly he start-ed that morning by telling a story of two not so inter-ested biologists sitting around a teaching lounge talking about what they would name their new department If you can believe it that was the day evolutionary biology was born
Wilson said science is the key to all of lifersquos secrets and science is in need of some serious ten-der love and care
After reading his book ldquoCreationrdquo it makes a lot more sense why he says this The book is essen-tially a short and sweet letter to a pastor where Wilson asks for his help in uniting religion and sci-ence to preserve biodiver-sity across the globe Just a simple request
ldquoPastor we need your
helprdquo Wilson wrote ldquoHalf the species of plants and animals on Earth could be either gone or at least fated for early extinction by the end of the centuryrdquo
Wilsonrsquos goal is to push science and young sci-entists to the edge and reverse the decline of a crucial scientific era His next book ldquoLetters to a Young Scientistrdquo will do just that but for now he was able to enlighten us with what he calls ldquothe three archetypes for a budding scientistsrdquo
First he says to hunt for the lost world for Wilson that was some-thing he recently encoun-tered within his field of study at the age of 82 Last year Wilson was able to take samples from a vir-gin forest in Gorongosa Mozambique something hersquos wanted to do his whole life
Second is to search for the Holy Grail Specifically your own Holy Grail no matter where you are
ldquoTherersquos a grail in your field there is always that something that everybody wants to knowrdquo Wilson said
The third is a lit-tle complicated good vs evil Here Wilson explains how these three archetypes will combine to create an authority Scientists get to choose what they study and what they fight for therein lies that grail So it is up to the budding scientists
to choose whether or not they want to help humani-ty or just take it for grant-ed To Wilson this is most important because the future lies within their hands
ldquoYou can become an authority at a very young age if you run from the sound of gunsrdquo Wilson said demanding our attention at this point
He explained how choosing a field of study just because it is easy or popular will not get you very far As the leading authority on ants Wilson was able to transition over to human evolution with ease but opportunities like that do not happen to the masses So letrsquos travel the unbeaten path Check
His idea is to push each young scientist to imagi-nation and open minded-ness Daydreaming is one thing he emphasized for all to do (Seriously I have that down especially in Spanish)
ldquoVery bright people in my opinion they are often not innovators or creatorsrdquo Wilson said when talking about how 120 is the ideal IQ and
incidentally three points shy of his own
To him the stereotypi-cal genius doesnrsquot have the hard work passion and persistence that one needs to become a pio-neer Breezing through school is clearly not his idea of a victory
ldquoYoursquove got to soldier on and get the work donerdquo Wilson said
Science needs innova-tors and creators and Wilsonrsquos calling has been to let the young know that today science can save the world but only as long as there is still science left to go around
Wilson chatted with us for a full two hours and at the end com-plained about how short our gathering seemed He listened patiently and advised wholeheartedly I was moved to some seri-ous critical thinking on life followed by a ldquoRoll Tiderdquo from a fellow Bama native
Touched by all his efforts and the efforts of groups like HBERG that are here every day push-ing science to the next level I was moved to write this article Take a minute to appreciate the world around you because you may never see it like this again
ldquoDonrsquot be afraidrdquo Wilson said in the end ldquoyou are neededrdquoSophia Fazal is a senior majoring in anthropology
YOUR VIEWS IN RESPONSE TOlsquoThe unintelligence of teaching
intelligent design in statersquo
ldquoThe vast majority of people will never need to know about this lsquotheoryrsquo to be successful in life The simple
truth is evolutionists want to discredit the Christian Bible and crush peoplersquos faith plain and simplerdquo
ldquoPlease tell me how the theory of evolution proves the existence of God Also you may want to read up on what a theory means in science It doesnrsquot mean a

Many students meet with their academic advisor only once per semester and rarely make use of their professorsrsquo office hours
This October the Student Government Association hopes to change that by launching an Academic Scavenger Hunt to promote helpful academic assets on campus that are free to stu-dents as well as help stu-dents build relationships with their advisors
ldquoWe are encouraging stu-dents to become aware of the resources that their tuition already pays for as well as use the advice of their academic advisorsrdquo SGA executive press secretary
Meagan Bryant said The Academic Scavenger
Hunt includes prizes such as a 16GB iPad Ray-Ban sun-glasses and $500 and $1000 scholarships donated by the SGA
ldquoThe scavenger hunt seemed like a great idea because we could incorpo-rate different parts of cam-pus such as DegreeWorks academic advising teachersrsquo office hours and the writ-ing centerrdquo Denzel Evans-Bell SGA vice president for Academic Affairs said
To complete the passport supplied by the SGA for the Academic Scavenger Hunt students need two signatures from their teachers after meeting with them during office hours followed by an appointment with an advisor
to receive the third signature Students must then visit
an academic resource center such as the writing center for their fourth signature Lastly students must complete their DegreeWorks before turning in their completed passport to qualify for a prize
ldquoThis is beneficial and fun to the students because they can gain so much from itrdquo Evans-Bell said ldquoThey will fill out their DegreeWorks and get to meet privately with their professors all of the things that are stressed for students to do during their college careers and they can win prizes doing itrdquo
The Academic Scavenger Hunt begins Oct 1 and all completed passports are due to the SGA office on Oct 26 by 5 pm

Watch doctoral composition student Amir Zaheri in the hall-ways of Moody for a few minutes and it will become clear he has a personality that draws people toward him Soft-spoken yet direct Zaheri has an intuitive nature that makes him a popular source for advice This insightful-ness influences his compositions which in recent months have brought him major rewards
A Narramore Fellow and student of C P First Zaheri was a featured composer on ComposersCirclecom this past summer He has also celebrated new publications new commis-sions and premiere performances in the last few months
ldquoWhen Amir first arrived at the University he was already an accomplished composer with an international reputation but dur-ing his time here he has really refined his language narrative
and compositional techniquerdquo First a composition professor said
Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profilerdquo was recently selected for perfor-mance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National
Conference which will be held at Capital University this fall The digital piece was also selected for performance at the 2nd Annual Electroacoustic Barn Dance Festival at the University of Mary Washington
ldquoIt actually started out as a
jokerdquo Zaheri said It was my first digital piece for a class but when I brought it in Dr First was like lsquoAmir thatrsquos actually pretty goodrsquordquo
Zaheri brought it in to work on with his teacher Since then the piece has gathered its own follow-ing
ldquoEvery composer has their nicherdquo he said ldquo Perhaps Irsquove just discovered mine ndash dating profile soundtracksrdquo
Zaherirsquos successes speak not only for him but also for the quali-ty of work coming from the School of Music
ldquoWe are extremely proud of Amir and his accomplishmentsrdquo Charles ldquoSkiprdquo Snead director of the School of Music said ldquoHe exemplifies all of the characteris-tics that we hope to see in every graduate student His success on the regional and national level reflects extremely well on our programrdquo
As a composer in residence for The University of Alabama Opera Theatre hersquos currently
working on a musical entitled ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo to be performed in spring 2013
ldquoOne of my favorite styles is musical theatre along the lines of Noel Coward and Irving Berlinrdquo Zaheri said
When he sat down with Paul Houghtaling director of the UA Opera Theatre to discuss the next step for the company Zaheri knew it was time for a musical
ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo explores the relationships of several couples in a diner setting It includes a myriad of characters from a neu-rotic girlfriend and boyfriend whose love keeps them strong to the dinerrsquos hostess who is experi-encing the pain of a breakup with no closure Interwoven is the con-stant theme ldquoAnything can hap-pen over dinnerrdquo
Zaherirsquos partnership with UA Opera Theatre has been in place since he arrived at the University in January 2011
Snead believes that Zaherirsquos composer-in-residence status
illustrates the special collabora-tive nature that is standard for the composition department
ldquoBy nature composers are a collaborative grouprdquo he said They depend on the efforts of oth-ers for the ultimate realization of their achievements Likewise performers depend on willing and collaborative composers for the perpetuation of the art Amirrsquos relationship with our University Opera Theatre is an outstanding example of this ongoing relation-shiprdquo
Even with a constantly packed schedule of performances and teaching Zaheri has time to reflect on his work
ldquoItrsquos like being a parentrdquo Zaheri said ldquoYou care for them and hope they will help people to think and be healing and loving I think I am part of a minority of people on the planet who have the opportunity to do what one loves and make a difference in othersrsquo lives through it At a certain point I view that as a responsibilityrdquo

recognizable visual and thematic blueprint Like almost all of his films ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo fea-tures a vibrant color palette a dysfunctional family and a hilar-ious show-stealing performance from Bill Murray
The cast which Anderson has assembled is probably the most accomplished and diverse he has ever worked with featuring Frances McDormand Harvey Keitel and Tilda Swinton The two biggest names on the cast list Edward Norton and Bruce Willis deliver brilliant comi-cal performances and Norton is particularly impressive in his first major comedic role of his
career But the most surprising performances of the film come from the two young stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward who were both 13 during filming and who give the film a rich emotion-al warmth
Set on the charming fic-tional island of New Penzance ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo tells the coming-of-age story of Sam Shakusky (Gilman) a troubled orphan who runs away from his summer scout group with Suzy Bishop (Hayward) a girl who is equally as alienated as Sam But hot on pursuit of the runaway lovers are the diligent Scout Master Randy Ward (Norton)
and Captain Sharp (Willis) who are aided by Suzyrsquos frantically worried parents played by the constantly duelling McDormand and Murray
This film will appeal to those who are already fans of Wes Anderson and his examination of the family dynamic
But what makes ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo stand apart from these films is Andersonrsquos focus on his two young main char-acters Anderson captures the innocence of first love as well as the confusion of ado-lescence but manages to pro-vide both sentimentality and hilarity in equal measure The
dialogue is razor sharp and as expected the trademark Anderson wit and awkward-ness are fully present
Most striking about the script are the interactions between Sam and Suzy which feel incredibly genuine and make their summer romance completely believable Gilman is a rare breed of actor who is able to handle the quirks of Andersonrsquos script with the ease of Andersonrsquos regular col-laborators Jason Schwartzman and Murray and it would not be surprising to see Gilman return to work with the director on future films
On a visual level the film
is gorgeous and in true Wes Anderson fashion nearly every single shot is framed centrally a technique which has almost become an inside joke to fans of the director The fact that the film is so self-aware that it is a Wes Anderson picture means that ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo is a sure-fire hit to fans of the direc-tor and ranks with ldquoRushmorerdquoand ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquoas one of Andersonrsquos greatest films
It embraces his own style yet delivers a highly cre-ative and original depic-tion of the awkwardness of growing up
Music studentrsquos composition makes national noise
CW | Jingyu WanAmir Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profi lerdquo was recently selected for performance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National Conference
The love interest in The University of Alabamarsquos new play is too stupid to sit down Irsquom not exaggerating ndash she spends 30 sec-onds trying to remember how to sit down in a chair The hero falls for her while shersquos strug-gling to say her own name That was the point in ldquoFoolsrdquo when I began to realize what playwright Neil Simon who wrote ldquoThe Odd Couplerdquo had in for us
If yoursquore looking for Simonrsquos quaintly human New Yorkers you wonrsquot find any in the Russian hamlet of Kulyenchikov a town with an ancient curse of stupid-ity And like the townsfolk the show will make you feel dumb Not because yoursquore watching a stream of legitimately ter-
rible jokes but because you find yourself laughing at just about every one
Spunky young bookworm Leon Tolchinsky (John Paul Snead) has come to be the new schoolmaster Suitcase in hand and grinning like Socrates he rattles off a few solil-oquies about the joys of knowl-edge And then meets a man who canrsquot count to 12 or remember his own name Soon Leon realizes itrsquos up to him to break the curse by educating the physicianrsquos daughter Sophia (Natalie Riegel with Esther Workman stepping in Friday and Sunday)
Itrsquos a journey fraught with cheap clicheacutes and third grade puns Formally the gags are Vaudevillian but even the Marx Brothers knew how to count on their fingers The humor leaps from The Beverly Hillbillies to a
YouTube video of a 2-year-old I could almost see Simon stopping to think ldquoNow how can I make this line stupidrdquo
New York apparently hated it ndash it closed after just five weeks on Broadway But the UA troupe has always had a soft spot for mis-fit scripts and it waves Simonrsquos inanity like a battle flag Sneadrsquos wide-eyed Leon could pass for one of the missionaries in ldquoThe Book of Mormonrdquo his evil land baron rival (Samuel Hardy) looks like Count Chocula at a disco-thegraveque and they all frolic around a set that could be from Sesame Street
The show flaunts every cheap pun tramples Simonrsquos feeble attempts at sentiment and dares the audience not to enjoy it The air in the tiny Allen Bales Theatre gets so thick with sil-
liness that you either laugh or suffocate
Good thing too because despite a few awkward rashes of philosophy there isnrsquot any wisdom in the foolishness Sneadrsquos Leon is great fun but is no more relatable than any of the idiots Sophia challenges his presumptions about intellect but
shersquos too infantile to make any headway before everything is solved by ndash surprise - the power of love
ldquoThere is nothing like the logic of an illogical mindrdquo Leon says before Sophia forgets one-plus-one
I read later that ldquoFoolsrdquo is so bewildering to fans of Neil
Simon that some swear he wrote it to be a flop ldquoProducersrdquo style And even at the theatre I could tell that the Universityrsquos pro-duction is a lot more fun than the play deserved to be But the UA troupe does it exactly right It doesnrsquot try to break the Curse of Kulyenchokov it just puts it on the audience
THEATRE REVIEW
Absurdity of lsquoFoolsrsquo performances leaves every audience laughing
By Courtney StinsonContributing Writer
The Sonic Frontiers con-cert series sponsored by New College and Creative Campus is kicking off its second season of avant-garde performances with a concert by Chicago-based trio Vox Arcana Friday Sept 28 at 730 pm in Moody Music Building
The trio is comprised of leader and percussionist Tim Daisy clar-inetist James Falzone and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who also plays electronic instruments Vox Arcanarsquos experimental sound comes from the com-bination of the compositional structure of modern classical music and the triorsquos more flex-ible improvisational format
The freedom of Vox Arcanarsquos improvisational format leaves a lot of room for change in the grouprsquos music Though the compositions remain the same performances differ from night to night
ldquoIrsquom looking forward to how the music is going to changerdquo Daisy said ldquoA lot of itrsquos com-posed but therersquos also a lot of room for improvisation and the compositions change a lot night after night and thatrsquos something Irsquom very interested inrdquo
Vox Arcana uses a variety of instruments and styles to create various experimental textures Daisy will augment his drum set with kick pans bells and other sound-making materials while Lonberg-Holm will create tex-tures of sound with electronic
distortion and amplificationldquoYoursquore going to see us up
there working on our music which deals with a lot of com-posed material with a lot of room for improvisationrdquo Daisy
said ldquoYoursquoll see us working through our material hopefully playing it well and having a big timerdquo
Daisy said playing in an aca-demic setting rather than a club
or other venue makes the con-cert much more open to audi-ence interaction and conversa-tions about the music The band is happy to discuss their music and show scores after their performance to anyone who is interested
ldquoI usually get a lot more ques-tions from the audience in a more academic settingrdquo Daisy said ldquoI usually meet a lot more people wanting to talk and ana-lyze [the music] a little more Irsquom really looking forward to thatrdquo
Sonic Frontiersrsquo 2012-2013 season has grown in more ways than one This season will span both semesters include more performances and try to inte-grate more of the Tuscaloosa area by expanding to off-cam-pus events The series is also
expanding globally bringing in artists from as far away as the Czech Republic and Germany
Though Sonic Frontiers brings new ideas to campus it is by no means a one-way cultural exchange Giving visiting artists a chance to engage with local culture creates a reciprocal cir-culation of ideas
ldquoThe whole idea is to get ideas circulatingrdquo said Andrew Dewar assistant professor of New College and the School of Music and assistant director of Creative Campus ldquoBy having global artists and national art-ists not only do people here get to interact with a different cul-ture and set of ideas and musical sounds but the visiting musi-cians are interacting with whatrsquos happening hererdquo

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld
By Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo
Saban said he still remem-bers watching the game in which Stallings and his team won Alabama its 12th nation-al title in football
ldquoI still think of all the games I remember or I ever watchedrdquo Saban said ldquothe game they played to win the national championship in the Sugar Bowl was one of the most fantastic teams and fan-tastic games I can remember watchingrdquo
Saban said he was also proud of the way the gym-nastics team performed last season and was happy it was going to be honored alongside the 1992 national title team
ldquoWersquore really really proud of all of our other sports who have a lot of successrdquo Saban said ldquoespecially the three womenrsquos sports that won national championships [last season]rdquo

Tide begins prepping for 1st SEC competitionCROSS COUNTRY
WOMENrsquoS GOLF
By Charlie PotterContributing Writer
The Alabama cross coun-try teams will face their third test of the season this week-end when they participate in the 57th Annual Notre Dame Invitational
The race will take place Friday Sept 28 at the Notre Dame golf course on the schoolrsquos campus in South Bend Ind Both teams will be run-ning in the blue division races
beginning with the womenrsquos race at 315 pm
The Crimson Tide is com-ing off its first SEC competi-tion at the Commodore Classic in Nashville Tenn where the womenrsquos and menrsquos teams fin-ished in fifth and 15th place respectively Head coach Dan Waters attributes his teamsrsquo results to their collegiate inex-perience
ldquoWe just canrsquot get around the fact that wersquore young and wersquore just going to have to learnrdquo
Waters said ldquoItrsquos just going to be part of our growing processrdquo
However Waters said the structure of the course in South Bend will be great for the devel-opment of the Tidersquos young runners and will help them bet-ter understand the elements of cross country Notre Damersquos golf course ndash that serves as the schoolrsquos running course for cross country meets ndash is very flat and Waters said jok-ingly that the desk in his office has more hills than the actual course
ldquoTypically this race goes out
incredibly fastrdquo Waters said ldquoItrsquos a flatter faster type of course Our athletes are going to have to get accustomed to seeing a fast pace and be able
to stay positive and still execute a race plan for the bottom half of the racerdquo
On top of the different course layout the run-ners will also be facing a more diverse mixture of schools The Notre Dame Invitational will host several Big
Ten schools like Ohio State and Michigan as well as Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Princeton
The SEC will also be well-represented at the meet Aside from Alabama Mississippi State and Texas AampM will be running Waters is glad to see a variety of competition for his growing team
ldquoItrsquos exactly what they need to seerdquo Waters said ldquoAs we grow for the future they need to know whatrsquos out there and they need to see the very best competition Thatrsquos why itrsquos on the schedulerdquo
The youth and inexperience of the cross country roster is slowly diminishing with every meet but for one runner the Notre Dame Invitational will be his first taste of competition in the college ranks and in the United States
Robbie Farnham-Rose a freshman from Borough Green
England will make his season debut for the Crimson Tide Friday
Waters said choosing to run his newest athlete at this time was due to the flatter faster type of course which is some-thing Farnham-Rose has had success running in the past But the experience of running with some of the countryrsquos best ath-letes canrsquot hurt either
ldquoItrsquos just an opportunity for him to compete and enjoy com-peting for the Crimson Tiderdquo Waters said
For Farnham-Rose this expe-rience will be new for him He is used to competing for a club team rather than a university but he is looking forward to spending time with his new teammates on the road to Indiana

Many students meet with their academic advisor only once per semester and rarely make use of their professorsrsquo office hours
This October the Student Government Association hopes to change that by launching an Academic Scavenger Hunt to promote helpful academic assets on campus that are free to stu-dents as well as help stu-dents build relationships with their advisors
ldquoWe are encouraging stu-dents to become aware of the resources that their tuition already pays for as well as use the advice of their academic advisorsrdquo SGA executive press secretary
Meagan Bryant said The Academic Scavenger
Hunt includes prizes such as a 16GB iPad Ray-Ban sun-glasses and $500 and $1000 scholarships donated by the SGA
ldquoThe scavenger hunt seemed like a great idea because we could incorpo-rate different parts of cam-pus such as DegreeWorks academic advising teachersrsquo office hours and the writ-ing centerrdquo Denzel Evans-Bell SGA vice president for Academic Affairs said
To complete the passport supplied by the SGA for the Academic Scavenger Hunt students need two signatures from their teachers after meeting with them during office hours followed by an appointment with an advisor
to receive the third signature Students must then visit
an academic resource center such as the writing center for their fourth signature Lastly students must complete their DegreeWorks before turning in their completed passport to qualify for a prize
ldquoThis is beneficial and fun to the students because they can gain so much from itrdquo Evans-Bell said ldquoThey will fill out their DegreeWorks and get to meet privately with their professors all of the things that are stressed for students to do during their college careers and they can win prizes doing itrdquo
The Academic Scavenger Hunt begins Oct 1 and all completed passports are due to the SGA office on Oct 26 by 5 pm

Watch doctoral composition student Amir Zaheri in the hall-ways of Moody for a few minutes and it will become clear he has a personality that draws people toward him Soft-spoken yet direct Zaheri has an intuitive nature that makes him a popular source for advice This insightful-ness influences his compositions which in recent months have brought him major rewards
A Narramore Fellow and student of C P First Zaheri was a featured composer on ComposersCirclecom this past summer He has also celebrated new publications new commis-sions and premiere performances in the last few months
ldquoWhen Amir first arrived at the University he was already an accomplished composer with an international reputation but dur-ing his time here he has really refined his language narrative
and compositional techniquerdquo First a composition professor said
Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profilerdquo was recently selected for perfor-mance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National
Conference which will be held at Capital University this fall The digital piece was also selected for performance at the 2nd Annual Electroacoustic Barn Dance Festival at the University of Mary Washington
ldquoIt actually started out as a
jokerdquo Zaheri said It was my first digital piece for a class but when I brought it in Dr First was like lsquoAmir thatrsquos actually pretty goodrsquordquo
Zaheri brought it in to work on with his teacher Since then the piece has gathered its own follow-ing
ldquoEvery composer has their nicherdquo he said ldquo Perhaps Irsquove just discovered mine ndash dating profile soundtracksrdquo
Zaherirsquos successes speak not only for him but also for the quali-ty of work coming from the School of Music
ldquoWe are extremely proud of Amir and his accomplishmentsrdquo Charles ldquoSkiprdquo Snead director of the School of Music said ldquoHe exemplifies all of the characteris-tics that we hope to see in every graduate student His success on the regional and national level reflects extremely well on our programrdquo
As a composer in residence for The University of Alabama Opera Theatre hersquos currently
working on a musical entitled ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo to be performed in spring 2013
ldquoOne of my favorite styles is musical theatre along the lines of Noel Coward and Irving Berlinrdquo Zaheri said
When he sat down with Paul Houghtaling director of the UA Opera Theatre to discuss the next step for the company Zaheri knew it was time for a musical
ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo explores the relationships of several couples in a diner setting It includes a myriad of characters from a neu-rotic girlfriend and boyfriend whose love keeps them strong to the dinerrsquos hostess who is experi-encing the pain of a breakup with no closure Interwoven is the con-stant theme ldquoAnything can hap-pen over dinnerrdquo
Zaherirsquos partnership with UA Opera Theatre has been in place since he arrived at the University in January 2011
Snead believes that Zaherirsquos composer-in-residence status
illustrates the special collabora-tive nature that is standard for the composition department
ldquoBy nature composers are a collaborative grouprdquo he said They depend on the efforts of oth-ers for the ultimate realization of their achievements Likewise performers depend on willing and collaborative composers for the perpetuation of the art Amirrsquos relationship with our University Opera Theatre is an outstanding example of this ongoing relation-shiprdquo
Even with a constantly packed schedule of performances and teaching Zaheri has time to reflect on his work
ldquoItrsquos like being a parentrdquo Zaheri said ldquoYou care for them and hope they will help people to think and be healing and loving I think I am part of a minority of people on the planet who have the opportunity to do what one loves and make a difference in othersrsquo lives through it At a certain point I view that as a responsibilityrdquo

ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo sees Wes Anderson return to live-action filmmaking after a break of five years since the underwhelm-ing ldquoThe Darjeeling Limitedrdquo Thankfully Andersonrsquos new picture is a return to form and his best film since ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquo
In his career which now spans 10 years Wes Anderson has managed to cre-ate a distinct style which is shared in all of his films and ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo perfect-ly demonstrates Andersonrsquos
recognizable visual and thematic blueprint Like almost all of his films ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo fea-tures a vibrant color palette a dysfunctional family and a hilar-ious show-stealing performance from Bill Murray
The cast which Anderson has assembled is probably the most accomplished and diverse he has ever worked with featuring Frances McDormand Harvey Keitel and Tilda Swinton The two biggest names on the cast list Edward Norton and Bruce Willis deliver brilliant comi-cal performances and Norton is particularly impressive in his first major comedic role of his
career But the most surprising performances of the film come from the two young stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward who were both 13 during filming and who give the film a rich emotion-al warmth
Set on the charming fic-tional island of New Penzance ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo tells the coming-of-age story of Sam Shakusky (Gilman) a troubled orphan who runs away from his summer scout group with Suzy Bishop (Hayward) a girl who is equally as alienated as Sam But hot on pursuit of the runaway lovers are the diligent Scout Master Randy Ward (Norton)
and Captain Sharp (Willis) who are aided by Suzyrsquos frantically worried parents played by the constantly duelling McDormand and Murray
This film will appeal to those who are already fans of Wes Anderson and his examination of the family dynamic
But what makes ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo stand apart from these films is Andersonrsquos focus on his two young main char-acters Anderson captures the innocence of first love as well as the confusion of ado-lescence but manages to pro-vide both sentimentality and hilarity in equal measure The
dialogue is razor sharp and as expected the trademark Anderson wit and awkward-ness are fully present
Most striking about the script are the interactions between Sam and Suzy which feel incredibly genuine and make their summer romance completely believable Gilman is a rare breed of actor who is able to handle the quirks of Andersonrsquos script with the ease of Andersonrsquos regular col-laborators Jason Schwartzman and Murray and it would not be surprising to see Gilman return to work with the director on future films
On a visual level the film
is gorgeous and in true Wes Anderson fashion nearly every single shot is framed centrally a technique which has almost become an inside joke to fans of the director The fact that the film is so self-aware that it is a Wes Anderson picture means that ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo is a sure-fire hit to fans of the direc-tor and ranks with ldquoRushmorerdquoand ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquoas one of Andersonrsquos greatest films
It embraces his own style yet delivers a highly cre-ative and original depic-tion of the awkwardness of growing up
Music studentrsquos composition makes national noise
CW | Jingyu WanAmir Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profi lerdquo was recently selected for performance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National Conference
The love interest in The University of Alabamarsquos new play is too stupid to sit down Irsquom not exaggerating ndash she spends 30 sec-onds trying to remember how to sit down in a chair The hero falls for her while shersquos strug-gling to say her own name That was the point in ldquoFoolsrdquo when I began to realize what playwright Neil Simon who wrote ldquoThe Odd Couplerdquo had in for us
If yoursquore looking for Simonrsquos quaintly human New Yorkers you wonrsquot find any in the Russian hamlet of Kulyenchikov a town with an ancient curse of stupid-ity And like the townsfolk the show will make you feel dumb Not because yoursquore watching a stream of legitimately ter-
rible jokes but because you find yourself laughing at just about every one
Spunky young bookworm Leon Tolchinsky (John Paul Snead) has come to be the new schoolmaster Suitcase in hand and grinning like Socrates he rattles off a few solil-oquies about the joys of knowl-edge And then meets a man who canrsquot count to 12 or remember his own name Soon Leon realizes itrsquos up to him to break the curse by educating the physicianrsquos daughter Sophia (Natalie Riegel with Esther Workman stepping in Friday and Sunday)
Itrsquos a journey fraught with cheap clicheacutes and third grade puns Formally the gags are Vaudevillian but even the Marx Brothers knew how to count on their fingers The humor leaps from The Beverly Hillbillies to a
YouTube video of a 2-year-old I could almost see Simon stopping to think ldquoNow how can I make this line stupidrdquo
New York apparently hated it ndash it closed after just five weeks on Broadway But the UA troupe has always had a soft spot for mis-fit scripts and it waves Simonrsquos inanity like a battle flag Sneadrsquos wide-eyed Leon could pass for one of the missionaries in ldquoThe Book of Mormonrdquo his evil land baron rival (Samuel Hardy) looks like Count Chocula at a disco-thegraveque and they all frolic around a set that could be from Sesame Street
The show flaunts every cheap pun tramples Simonrsquos feeble attempts at sentiment and dares the audience not to enjoy it The air in the tiny Allen Bales Theatre gets so thick with sil-
liness that you either laugh or suffocate
Good thing too because despite a few awkward rashes of philosophy there isnrsquot any wisdom in the foolishness Sneadrsquos Leon is great fun but is no more relatable than any of the idiots Sophia challenges his presumptions about intellect but
shersquos too infantile to make any headway before everything is solved by ndash surprise - the power of love
ldquoThere is nothing like the logic of an illogical mindrdquo Leon says before Sophia forgets one-plus-one
I read later that ldquoFoolsrdquo is so bewildering to fans of Neil
Simon that some swear he wrote it to be a flop ldquoProducersrdquo style And even at the theatre I could tell that the Universityrsquos pro-duction is a lot more fun than the play deserved to be But the UA troupe does it exactly right It doesnrsquot try to break the Curse of Kulyenchokov it just puts it on the audience
THEATRE REVIEW
Absurdity of lsquoFoolsrsquo performances leaves every audience laughing
By Courtney StinsonContributing Writer
The Sonic Frontiers con-cert series sponsored by New College and Creative Campus is kicking off its second season of avant-garde performances with a concert by Chicago-based trio Vox Arcana Friday Sept 28 at 730 pm in Moody Music Building
The trio is comprised of leader and percussionist Tim Daisy clar-inetist James Falzone and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who also plays electronic instruments Vox Arcanarsquos experimental sound comes from the com-bination of the compositional structure of modern classical music and the triorsquos more flex-ible improvisational format
The freedom of Vox Arcanarsquos improvisational format leaves a lot of room for change in the grouprsquos music Though the compositions remain the same performances differ from night to night
ldquoIrsquom looking forward to how the music is going to changerdquo Daisy said ldquoA lot of itrsquos com-posed but therersquos also a lot of room for improvisation and the compositions change a lot night after night and thatrsquos something Irsquom very interested inrdquo
Vox Arcana uses a variety of instruments and styles to create various experimental textures Daisy will augment his drum set with kick pans bells and other sound-making materials while Lonberg-Holm will create tex-tures of sound with electronic
distortion and amplificationldquoYoursquore going to see us up
there working on our music which deals with a lot of com-posed material with a lot of room for improvisationrdquo Daisy
said ldquoYoursquoll see us working through our material hopefully playing it well and having a big timerdquo
Daisy said playing in an aca-demic setting rather than a club
or other venue makes the con-cert much more open to audi-ence interaction and conversa-tions about the music The band is happy to discuss their music and show scores after their performance to anyone who is interested
ldquoI usually get a lot more ques-tions from the audience in a more academic settingrdquo Daisy said ldquoI usually meet a lot more people wanting to talk and ana-lyze [the music] a little more Irsquom really looking forward to thatrdquo
Sonic Frontiersrsquo 2012-2013 season has grown in more ways than one This season will span both semesters include more performances and try to inte-grate more of the Tuscaloosa area by expanding to off-cam-pus events The series is also
expanding globally bringing in artists from as far away as the Czech Republic and Germany
Though Sonic Frontiers brings new ideas to campus it is by no means a one-way cultural exchange Giving visiting artists a chance to engage with local culture creates a reciprocal cir-culation of ideas
ldquoThe whole idea is to get ideas circulatingrdquo said Andrew Dewar assistant professor of New College and the School of Music and assistant director of Creative Campus ldquoBy having global artists and national art-ists not only do people here get to interact with a different cul-ture and set of ideas and musical sounds but the visiting musi-cians are interacting with whatrsquos happening hererdquo

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld

Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo
Saban said he still remem-bers watching the game in which Stallings and his team won Alabama its 12th nation-al title in football
ldquoI still think of all the games I remember or I ever watchedrdquo Saban said ldquothe game they played to win the national championship in the Sugar Bowl was one of the most fantastic teams and fan-tastic games I can remember watchingrdquo
Saban said he was also proud of the way the gym-nastics team performed last season and was happy it was going to be honored alongside the 1992 national title team
ldquoWersquore really really proud of all of our other sports who have a lot of successrdquo Saban said ldquoespecially the three womenrsquos sports that won national championships [last season]rdquo

The Crimson Tide is com-ing off its first SEC competi-tion at the Commodore Classic in Nashville Tenn where the womenrsquos and menrsquos teams fin-ished in fifth and 15th place respectively Head coach Dan Waters attributes his teamsrsquo results to their collegiate inex-perience
ldquoWe just canrsquot get around the fact that wersquore young and wersquore just going to have to learnrdquo
Waters said ldquoItrsquos just going to be part of our growing processrdquo
However Waters said the structure of the course in South Bend will be great for the devel-opment of the Tidersquos young runners and will help them bet-ter understand the elements of cross country Notre Damersquos golf course ndash that serves as the schoolrsquos running course for cross country meets ndash is very flat and Waters said jok-ingly that the desk in his office has more hills than the actual course
ldquoTypically this race goes out
incredibly fastrdquo Waters said ldquoItrsquos a flatter faster type of course Our athletes are going to have to get accustomed to seeing a fast pace and be able
to stay positive and still execute a race plan for the bottom half of the racerdquo
On top of the different course layout the run-ners will also be facing a more diverse mixture of schools The Notre Dame Invitational will host several Big
Ten schools like Ohio State and Michigan as well as Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Princeton
The SEC will also be well-represented at the meet Aside from Alabama Mississippi State and Texas AampM will be running Waters is glad to see a variety of competition for his growing team
ldquoItrsquos exactly what they need to seerdquo Waters said ldquoAs we grow for the future they need to know whatrsquos out there and they need to see the very best competition Thatrsquos why itrsquos on the schedulerdquo
The youth and inexperience of the cross country roster is slowly diminishing with every meet but for one runner the Notre Dame Invitational will be his first taste of competition in the college ranks and in the United States
Robbie Farnham-Rose a freshman from Borough Green
England will make his season debut for the Crimson Tide Friday
Waters said choosing to run his newest athlete at this time was due to the flatter faster type of course which is some-thing Farnham-Rose has had success running in the past But the experience of running with some of the countryrsquos best ath-letes canrsquot hurt either
ldquoItrsquos just an opportunity for him to compete and enjoy com-peting for the Crimson Tiderdquo Waters said
For Farnham-Rose this expe-rience will be new for him He is used to competing for a club team rather than a university but he is looking forward to spending time with his new teammates on the road to Indiana

Watch doctoral composition student Amir Zaheri in the hall-ways of Moody for a few minutes and it will become clear he has a personality that draws people toward him Soft-spoken yet direct Zaheri has an intuitive nature that makes him a popular source for advice This insightful-ness influences his compositions which in recent months have brought him major rewards
A Narramore Fellow and student of C P First Zaheri was a featured composer on ComposersCirclecom this past summer He has also celebrated new publications new commis-sions and premiere performances in the last few months
ldquoWhen Amir first arrived at the University he was already an accomplished composer with an international reputation but dur-ing his time here he has really refined his language narrative
and compositional techniquerdquo First a composition professor said
Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profilerdquo was recently selected for perfor-mance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National
Conference which will be held at Capital University this fall The digital piece was also selected for performance at the 2nd Annual Electroacoustic Barn Dance Festival at the University of Mary Washington
ldquoIt actually started out as a
jokerdquo Zaheri said It was my first digital piece for a class but when I brought it in Dr First was like lsquoAmir thatrsquos actually pretty goodrsquordquo
Zaheri brought it in to work on with his teacher Since then the piece has gathered its own follow-ing
ldquoEvery composer has their nicherdquo he said ldquo Perhaps Irsquove just discovered mine ndash dating profile soundtracksrdquo
Zaherirsquos successes speak not only for him but also for the quali-ty of work coming from the School of Music
ldquoWe are extremely proud of Amir and his accomplishmentsrdquo Charles ldquoSkiprdquo Snead director of the School of Music said ldquoHe exemplifies all of the characteris-tics that we hope to see in every graduate student His success on the regional and national level reflects extremely well on our programrdquo
As a composer in residence for The University of Alabama Opera Theatre hersquos currently
working on a musical entitled ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo to be performed in spring 2013
ldquoOne of my favorite styles is musical theatre along the lines of Noel Coward and Irving Berlinrdquo Zaheri said
When he sat down with Paul Houghtaling director of the UA Opera Theatre to discuss the next step for the company Zaheri knew it was time for a musical
ldquoOver Dinnerrdquo explores the relationships of several couples in a diner setting It includes a myriad of characters from a neu-rotic girlfriend and boyfriend whose love keeps them strong to the dinerrsquos hostess who is experi-encing the pain of a breakup with no closure Interwoven is the con-stant theme ldquoAnything can hap-pen over dinnerrdquo
Zaherirsquos partnership with UA Opera Theatre has been in place since he arrived at the University in January 2011
Snead believes that Zaherirsquos composer-in-residence status
illustrates the special collabora-tive nature that is standard for the composition department
ldquoBy nature composers are a collaborative grouprdquo he said They depend on the efforts of oth-ers for the ultimate realization of their achievements Likewise performers depend on willing and collaborative composers for the perpetuation of the art Amirrsquos relationship with our University Opera Theatre is an outstanding example of this ongoing relation-shiprdquo
Even with a constantly packed schedule of performances and teaching Zaheri has time to reflect on his work
ldquoItrsquos like being a parentrdquo Zaheri said ldquoYou care for them and hope they will help people to think and be healing and loving I think I am part of a minority of people on the planet who have the opportunity to do what one loves and make a difference in othersrsquo lives through it At a certain point I view that as a responsibilityrdquo

ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo sees Wes Anderson return to live-action filmmaking after a break of five years since the underwhelm-ing ldquoThe Darjeeling Limitedrdquo Thankfully Andersonrsquos new picture is a return to form and his best film since ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquo
In his career which now spans 10 years Wes Anderson has managed to cre-ate a distinct style which is shared in all of his films and ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo perfect-ly demonstrates Andersonrsquos
recognizable visual and thematic blueprint Like almost all of his films ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo fea-tures a vibrant color palette a dysfunctional family and a hilar-ious show-stealing performance from Bill Murray
The cast which Anderson has assembled is probably the most accomplished and diverse he has ever worked with featuring Frances McDormand Harvey Keitel and Tilda Swinton The two biggest names on the cast list Edward Norton and Bruce Willis deliver brilliant comi-cal performances and Norton is particularly impressive in his first major comedic role of his
career But the most surprising performances of the film come from the two young stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward who were both 13 during filming and who give the film a rich emotion-al warmth
Set on the charming fic-tional island of New Penzance ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo tells the coming-of-age story of Sam Shakusky (Gilman) a troubled orphan who runs away from his summer scout group with Suzy Bishop (Hayward) a girl who is equally as alienated as Sam But hot on pursuit of the runaway lovers are the diligent Scout Master Randy Ward (Norton)
and Captain Sharp (Willis) who are aided by Suzyrsquos frantically worried parents played by the constantly duelling McDormand and Murray
This film will appeal to those who are already fans of Wes Anderson and his examination of the family dynamic
But what makes ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo stand apart from these films is Andersonrsquos focus on his two young main char-acters Anderson captures the innocence of first love as well as the confusion of ado-lescence but manages to pro-vide both sentimentality and hilarity in equal measure The
dialogue is razor sharp and as expected the trademark Anderson wit and awkward-ness are fully present
Most striking about the script are the interactions between Sam and Suzy which feel incredibly genuine and make their summer romance completely believable Gilman is a rare breed of actor who is able to handle the quirks of Andersonrsquos script with the ease of Andersonrsquos regular col-laborators Jason Schwartzman and Murray and it would not be surprising to see Gilman return to work with the director on future films
On a visual level the film
is gorgeous and in true Wes Anderson fashion nearly every single shot is framed centrally a technique which has almost become an inside joke to fans of the director The fact that the film is so self-aware that it is a Wes Anderson picture means that ldquoMoonrise Kingdomrdquo is a sure-fire hit to fans of the direc-tor and ranks with ldquoRushmorerdquoand ldquoThe Royal Tenenbaumsrdquoas one of Andersonrsquos greatest films
It embraces his own style yet delivers a highly cre-ative and original depic-tion of the awkwardness of growing up
Music studentrsquos composition makes national noise
CW | Jingyu WanAmir Zaherirsquos ldquoSoundtrack to Bradrsquos eHarmony Profi lerdquo was recently selected for performance at the 2012 Student Society of Composers Inc National Conference
The love interest in The University of Alabamarsquos new play is too stupid to sit down Irsquom not exaggerating ndash she spends 30 sec-onds trying to remember how to sit down in a chair The hero falls for her while shersquos strug-gling to say her own name That was the point in ldquoFoolsrdquo when I began to realize what playwright Neil Simon who wrote ldquoThe Odd Couplerdquo had in for us
If yoursquore looking for Simonrsquos quaintly human New Yorkers you wonrsquot find any in the Russian hamlet of Kulyenchikov a town with an ancient curse of stupid-ity And like the townsfolk the show will make you feel dumb Not because yoursquore watching a stream of legitimately ter-
rible jokes but because you find yourself laughing at just about every one
Spunky young bookworm Leon Tolchinsky (John Paul Snead) has come to be the new schoolmaster Suitcase in hand and grinning like Socrates he rattles off a few solil-oquies about the joys of knowl-edge And then meets a man who canrsquot count to 12 or remember his own name Soon Leon realizes itrsquos up to him to break the curse by educating the physicianrsquos daughter Sophia (Natalie Riegel with Esther Workman stepping in Friday and Sunday)
Itrsquos a journey fraught with cheap clicheacutes and third grade puns Formally the gags are Vaudevillian but even the Marx Brothers knew how to count on their fingers The humor leaps from The Beverly Hillbillies to a
YouTube video of a 2-year-old I could almost see Simon stopping to think ldquoNow how can I make this line stupidrdquo
New York apparently hated it ndash it closed after just five weeks on Broadway But the UA troupe has always had a soft spot for mis-fit scripts and it waves Simonrsquos inanity like a battle flag Sneadrsquos wide-eyed Leon could pass for one of the missionaries in ldquoThe Book of Mormonrdquo his evil land baron rival (Samuel Hardy) looks like Count Chocula at a disco-thegraveque and they all frolic around a set that could be from Sesame Street
The show flaunts every cheap pun tramples Simonrsquos feeble attempts at sentiment and dares the audience not to enjoy it The air in the tiny Allen Bales Theatre gets so thick with sil-
liness that you either laugh or suffocate
Good thing too because despite a few awkward rashes of philosophy there isnrsquot any wisdom in the foolishness Sneadrsquos Leon is great fun but is no more relatable than any of the idiots Sophia challenges his presumptions about intellect but
shersquos too infantile to make any headway before everything is solved by ndash surprise - the power of love
ldquoThere is nothing like the logic of an illogical mindrdquo Leon says before Sophia forgets one-plus-one
I read later that ldquoFoolsrdquo is so bewildering to fans of Neil
Simon that some swear he wrote it to be a flop ldquoProducersrdquo style And even at the theatre I could tell that the Universityrsquos pro-duction is a lot more fun than the play deserved to be But the UA troupe does it exactly right It doesnrsquot try to break the Curse of Kulyenchokov it just puts it on the audience
THEATRE REVIEW
Absurdity of lsquoFoolsrsquo performances leaves every audience laughing
By Courtney StinsonContributing Writer
The Sonic Frontiers con-cert series sponsored by New College and Creative Campus is kicking off its second season of avant-garde performances with a concert by Chicago-based trio Vox Arcana Friday Sept 28 at 730 pm in Moody Music Building
The trio is comprised of leader and percussionist Tim Daisy clar-inetist James Falzone and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who also plays electronic instruments Vox Arcanarsquos experimental sound comes from the com-bination of the compositional structure of modern classical music and the triorsquos more flex-ible improvisational format
The freedom of Vox Arcanarsquos improvisational format leaves a lot of room for change in the grouprsquos music Though the compositions remain the same performances differ from night to night
ldquoIrsquom looking forward to how the music is going to changerdquo Daisy said ldquoA lot of itrsquos com-posed but therersquos also a lot of room for improvisation and the compositions change a lot night after night and thatrsquos something Irsquom very interested inrdquo
Vox Arcana uses a variety of instruments and styles to create various experimental textures Daisy will augment his drum set with kick pans bells and other sound-making materials while Lonberg-Holm will create tex-tures of sound with electronic
distortion and amplificationldquoYoursquore going to see us up
there working on our music which deals with a lot of com-posed material with a lot of room for improvisationrdquo Daisy
said ldquoYoursquoll see us working through our material hopefully playing it well and having a big timerdquo
Daisy said playing in an aca-demic setting rather than a club
or other venue makes the con-cert much more open to audi-ence interaction and conversa-tions about the music The band is happy to discuss their music and show scores after their performance to anyone who is interested
ldquoI usually get a lot more ques-tions from the audience in a more academic settingrdquo Daisy said ldquoI usually meet a lot more people wanting to talk and ana-lyze [the music] a little more Irsquom really looking forward to thatrdquo
Sonic Frontiersrsquo 2012-2013 season has grown in more ways than one This season will span both semesters include more performances and try to inte-grate more of the Tuscaloosa area by expanding to off-cam-pus events The series is also
expanding globally bringing in artists from as far away as the Czech Republic and Germany
Though Sonic Frontiers brings new ideas to campus it is by no means a one-way cultural exchange Giving visiting artists a chance to engage with local culture creates a reciprocal cir-culation of ideas
ldquoThe whole idea is to get ideas circulatingrdquo said Andrew Dewar assistant professor of New College and the School of Music and assistant director of Creative Campus ldquoBy having global artists and national art-ists not only do people here get to interact with a different cul-ture and set of ideas and musical sounds but the visiting musi-cians are interacting with whatrsquos happening hererdquo

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld

Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo
Saban said he still remem-bers watching the game in which Stallings and his team won Alabama its 12th nation-al title in football
ldquoI still think of all the games I remember or I ever watchedrdquo Saban said ldquothe game they played to win the national championship in the Sugar Bowl was one of the most fantastic teams and fan-tastic games I can remember watchingrdquo
Saban said he was also proud of the way the gym-nastics team performed last season and was happy it was going to be honored alongside the 1992 national title team
ldquoWersquore really really proud of all of our other sports who have a lot of successrdquo Saban said ldquoespecially the three womenrsquos sports that won national championships [last season]rdquo

Tide begins prepping for 1st SEC competitionCROSS COUNTRY
WOMENrsquoS GOLF
By Charlie PotterContributing Writer
The Alabama cross coun-try teams will face their third test of the season this week-end when they participate in the 57th Annual Notre Dame Invitational
The race will take place Friday Sept 28 at the Notre Dame golf course on the schoolrsquos campus in South Bend Ind Both teams will be run-ning in the blue division races
beginning with the womenrsquos race at 315 pm
The Crimson Tide is com-ing off its first SEC competi-tion at the Commodore Classic in Nashville Tenn where the womenrsquos and menrsquos teams fin-ished in fifth and 15th place respectively Head coach Dan Waters attributes his teamsrsquo results to their collegiate inex-perience
ldquoWe just canrsquot get around the fact that wersquore young and wersquore just going to have to learnrdquo
Waters said ldquoItrsquos just going to be part of our growing processrdquo
However Waters said the structure of the course in South Bend will be great for the devel-opment of the Tidersquos young runners and will help them bet-ter understand the elements of cross country Notre Damersquos golf course ndash that serves as the schoolrsquos running course for cross country meets ndash is very flat and Waters said jok-ingly that the desk in his office has more hills than the actual course
ldquoTypically this race goes out
incredibly fastrdquo Waters said ldquoItrsquos a flatter faster type of course Our athletes are going to have to get accustomed to seeing a fast pace and be able
to stay positive and still execute a race plan for the bottom half of the racerdquo
On top of the different course layout the run-ners will also be facing a more diverse mixture of schools The Notre Dame Invitational will host several Big
Ten schools like Ohio State and Michigan as well as Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Princeton
The SEC will also be well-represented at the meet Aside from Alabama Mississippi State and Texas AampM will be running Waters is glad to see a variety of competition for his growing team
ldquoItrsquos exactly what they need to seerdquo Waters said ldquoAs we grow for the future they need to know whatrsquos out there and they need to see the very best competition Thatrsquos why itrsquos on the schedulerdquo
The youth and inexperience of the cross country roster is slowly diminishing with every meet but for one runner the Notre Dame Invitational will be his first taste of competition in the college ranks and in the United States
Robbie Farnham-Rose a freshman from Borough Green
England will make his season debut for the Crimson Tide Friday
Waters said choosing to run his newest athlete at this time was due to the flatter faster type of course which is some-thing Farnham-Rose has had success running in the past But the experience of running with some of the countryrsquos best ath-letes canrsquot hurt either
ldquoItrsquos just an opportunity for him to compete and enjoy com-peting for the Crimson Tiderdquo Waters said
For Farnham-Rose this expe-rience will be new for him He is used to competing for a club team rather than a university but he is looking forward to spending time with his new teammates on the road to Indiana

The love interest in The University of Alabamarsquos new play is too stupid to sit down Irsquom not exaggerating ndash she spends 30 sec-onds trying to remember how to sit down in a chair The hero falls for her while shersquos strug-gling to say her own name That was the point in ldquoFoolsrdquo when I began to realize what playwright Neil Simon who wrote ldquoThe Odd Couplerdquo had in for us
If yoursquore looking for Simonrsquos quaintly human New Yorkers you wonrsquot find any in the Russian hamlet of Kulyenchikov a town with an ancient curse of stupid-ity And like the townsfolk the show will make you feel dumb Not because yoursquore watching a stream of legitimately ter-
rible jokes but because you find yourself laughing at just about every one
Spunky young bookworm Leon Tolchinsky (John Paul Snead) has come to be the new schoolmaster Suitcase in hand and grinning like Socrates he rattles off a few solil-oquies about the joys of knowl-edge And then meets a man who canrsquot count to 12 or remember his own name Soon Leon realizes itrsquos up to him to break the curse by educating the physicianrsquos daughter Sophia (Natalie Riegel with Esther Workman stepping in Friday and Sunday)
Itrsquos a journey fraught with cheap clicheacutes and third grade puns Formally the gags are Vaudevillian but even the Marx Brothers knew how to count on their fingers The humor leaps from The Beverly Hillbillies to a
YouTube video of a 2-year-old I could almost see Simon stopping to think ldquoNow how can I make this line stupidrdquo
New York apparently hated it ndash it closed after just five weeks on Broadway But the UA troupe has always had a soft spot for mis-fit scripts and it waves Simonrsquos inanity like a battle flag Sneadrsquos wide-eyed Leon could pass for one of the missionaries in ldquoThe Book of Mormonrdquo his evil land baron rival (Samuel Hardy) looks like Count Chocula at a disco-thegraveque and they all frolic around a set that could be from Sesame Street
The show flaunts every cheap pun tramples Simonrsquos feeble attempts at sentiment and dares the audience not to enjoy it The air in the tiny Allen Bales Theatre gets so thick with sil-
liness that you either laugh or suffocate
Good thing too because despite a few awkward rashes of philosophy there isnrsquot any wisdom in the foolishness Sneadrsquos Leon is great fun but is no more relatable than any of the idiots Sophia challenges his presumptions about intellect but
shersquos too infantile to make any headway before everything is solved by ndash surprise - the power of love
ldquoThere is nothing like the logic of an illogical mindrdquo Leon says before Sophia forgets one-plus-one
I read later that ldquoFoolsrdquo is so bewildering to fans of Neil
Simon that some swear he wrote it to be a flop ldquoProducersrdquo style And even at the theatre I could tell that the Universityrsquos pro-duction is a lot more fun than the play deserved to be But the UA troupe does it exactly right It doesnrsquot try to break the Curse of Kulyenchokov it just puts it on the audience
THEATRE REVIEW
Absurdity of lsquoFoolsrsquo performances leaves every audience laughing
By Courtney StinsonContributing Writer
The Sonic Frontiers con-cert series sponsored by New College and Creative Campus is kicking off its second season of avant-garde performances with a concert by Chicago-based trio Vox Arcana Friday Sept 28 at 730 pm in Moody Music Building
The trio is comprised of leader and percussionist Tim Daisy clar-inetist James Falzone and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who also plays electronic instruments Vox Arcanarsquos experimental sound comes from the com-bination of the compositional structure of modern classical music and the triorsquos more flex-ible improvisational format
The freedom of Vox Arcanarsquos improvisational format leaves a lot of room for change in the grouprsquos music Though the compositions remain the same performances differ from night to night
ldquoIrsquom looking forward to how the music is going to changerdquo Daisy said ldquoA lot of itrsquos com-posed but therersquos also a lot of room for improvisation and the compositions change a lot night after night and thatrsquos something Irsquom very interested inrdquo
Vox Arcana uses a variety of instruments and styles to create various experimental textures Daisy will augment his drum set with kick pans bells and other sound-making materials while Lonberg-Holm will create tex-tures of sound with electronic
distortion and amplificationldquoYoursquore going to see us up
there working on our music which deals with a lot of com-posed material with a lot of room for improvisationrdquo Daisy
said ldquoYoursquoll see us working through our material hopefully playing it well and having a big timerdquo
Daisy said playing in an aca-demic setting rather than a club
or other venue makes the con-cert much more open to audi-ence interaction and conversa-tions about the music The band is happy to discuss their music and show scores after their performance to anyone who is interested
ldquoI usually get a lot more ques-tions from the audience in a more academic settingrdquo Daisy said ldquoI usually meet a lot more people wanting to talk and ana-lyze [the music] a little more Irsquom really looking forward to thatrdquo
Sonic Frontiersrsquo 2012-2013 season has grown in more ways than one This season will span both semesters include more performances and try to inte-grate more of the Tuscaloosa area by expanding to off-cam-pus events The series is also
expanding globally bringing in artists from as far away as the Czech Republic and Germany
Though Sonic Frontiers brings new ideas to campus it is by no means a one-way cultural exchange Giving visiting artists a chance to engage with local culture creates a reciprocal cir-culation of ideas
ldquoThe whole idea is to get ideas circulatingrdquo said Andrew Dewar assistant professor of New College and the School of Music and assistant director of Creative Campus ldquoBy having global artists and national art-ists not only do people here get to interact with a different cul-ture and set of ideas and musical sounds but the visiting musi-cians are interacting with whatrsquos happening hererdquo

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld
By Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo
Saban said he still remem-bers watching the game in which Stallings and his team won Alabama its 12th nation-al title in football
ldquoI still think of all the games I remember or I ever watchedrdquo Saban said ldquothe game they played to win the national championship in the Sugar Bowl was one of the most fantastic teams and fan-tastic games I can remember watchingrdquo
Saban said he was also proud of the way the gym-nastics team performed last season and was happy it was going to be honored alongside the 1992 national title team
ldquoWersquore really really proud of all of our other sports who have a lot of successrdquo Saban said ldquoespecially the three womenrsquos sports that won national championships [last season]rdquo

Tide begins prepping for 1st SEC competitionCROSS COUNTRY
WOMENrsquoS GOLF
By Charlie PotterContributing Writer
The Alabama cross coun-try teams will face their third test of the season this week-end when they participate in the 57th Annual Notre Dame Invitational
The race will take place Friday Sept 28 at the Notre Dame golf course on the schoolrsquos campus in South Bend Ind Both teams will be run-ning in the blue division races
beginning with the womenrsquos race at 315 pm
The Crimson Tide is com-ing off its first SEC competi-tion at the Commodore Classic in Nashville Tenn where the womenrsquos and menrsquos teams fin-ished in fifth and 15th place respectively Head coach Dan Waters attributes his teamsrsquo results to their collegiate inex-perience

Robbie Farnham-Rose a freshman from Borough Green
England will make his season debut for the Crimson Tide Friday
Waters said choosing to run his newest athlete at this time was due to the flatter faster type of course which is some-thing Farnham-Rose has had success running in the past But the experience of running with some of the countryrsquos best ath-letes canrsquot hurt either
ldquoItrsquos just an opportunity for him to compete and enjoy com-peting for the Crimson Tiderdquo Waters said

If you didnrsquot know before this weekrsquos Monday Night Football game you probably have heard the National Football League has locked out its referees
The debacle that started before preseason went to new heights after a controversial call was made by replace-ment referees at the end of the Packers vs Seahawks game that sent the latter home as victors
And there you have it Roger Goodellrsquos point was proven Better job performance by NFL officials is believed to be one of the motivations behind the lockout To combat under-per-forming officials the NFL wants to hire 21 reserves which could result in an official sitting out games without pay due to his performance
Other points of discussion rel-ative to the lockout include the league wanting to move to a 401K plan as opposed to staying with the pension plan officials prefer There is also disagreement on how much officials will be paid for the next few years The NFL has stated they offered a raise to $189000 from $149000 by 2018 Itrsquos been reported that officials have asked for more than that but a number has not been disclosed
The NFL takes in more than $9 billion in revenue a season so one would think the league could spare a few thousand dol-lars more to ensure the happi-ness of their employees as long as officials arenrsquot asking for an unreasonable amount
The lockout might not be considered as bad if the replace-ment officials were doing a good job After all who really likes ref-erees in any sport Why would the original officials be missed Just ask Aaron Rodgers Bill
Belichick the Baltimore Ravens fans that chanted obscenities or any other player fan or coach in the league
Just three weeks into the season players have taken to traditional and social media out-lets to express their frustrations with the calls and lack thereof in games
Packers offensive lineman TJ Lang declared via Twitter after shooting a couple of expletives ldquoFine me and use the money to pay the regular refsrdquo
New Orleans Saints quar-terback Drew Brees tweeted ldquoI love this league and love the game of football but tonightrsquos debacle hurts me greatly This is NOT the league wersquore supposed to representrdquo
And Miami Dolphins run-ning back Reggie Bush simply tweeted ldquoThese refs gotta go Irsquom sorryrdquo
After the Packers-Seahawks game quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted the NFL for hir-ing unqualified replacement ref-erees and even questioned the league for putting money above football
These players will likely get fined for their comments but if national figures like Bill Clinton are disputing the work of these replacement officials some-thing is not right
I agree with Rodgersrsquo state-ment about the NFL putting money before football The league did the same thing when they locked out the players just two years ago A pay raise for officials may result in better job performance However it is not a guarantee the original ref-erees will do better so reserve officials are not a bad idea All of the parties involved need to come to a compromise to ensure the integrity of the game that provides them all with a livelihood
For once fans players want refs back on fi eld
By Zac Al-KhateebStaff Reporter
Alabama head coach Nick Saban had an interesting message for his team in prep-aration for the upcoming Ole Miss game Saturday
Saban has talked constant-ly to his team about overlook-ing opponents regardless of their record or how the fans and media perceive them To remind his team of the pitfalls of such attitudes he remind-ed his players about a time when an Ole Miss team beat a widely favored opponent
ldquoI saw a videotape a couple of weeks ago when we played somebody about Tim Tebow giving his famous speech after they were undefeated for a year and won the nation-al championshiprdquo Saban said ldquoGuess what Guess who Guess when Somebody beat them At home in their place and then there was the famous speechrdquo
Saban said he is trying to make his team realize the potential threat of every team before Alabama plays them rather than after
ldquoWell do you have to have an lsquoI told you sorsquo game and does somebody have to give that speech for you to do
what you need to do to realize whatrsquos at stakerdquo he said ldquoTo realize the opportunity you have to have a very success-ful significant season if you can play one game at a time and respect the people you play and play to your very best each and every time that you playrdquo
Sabanrsquos message seems to have stuck with his play-ers Senior tight end Michael Williams said hersquod rather not be in the same boat as the 2008 Florida Gators
ldquoWe donrsquot want something bad to happen for something to wake us uprdquo Williams said ldquoSo wersquore very aware of that speech and how everything happened there and wersquore going to come out and play for 60 minutesrdquo
Alabama champions to be honored in Saturdayrsquos game The Alabama football team will honor the exploits of its former champions on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels
Gene Stallings and the play-ers of the 1992 national cham-pionship team at Alabama will make an appearance at the game as well as last sea-sonrsquos national champion gym-nastics program
ldquoAll the SEC games that we
play are really specialrdquo Saban said ldquoWe want Bryant-Denny Stadium to be a special place for our players to play and a very difficult place for other teams to play Thatrsquos always been that way and we cer-tainly appreciate that from our fans and wersquoll certainly need it from our fans for this particular game Saturday nightrdquo
Saban said he still remem-bers watching the game in which Stallings and his team won Alabama its 12th nation-al title in football
ldquoI still think of all the games I remember or I ever watchedrdquo Saban said ldquothe game they played to win the national championship in the Sugar Bowl was one of the most fantastic teams and fan-tastic games I can remember watchingrdquo
Saban said he was also proud of the way the gym-nastics team performed last season and was happy it was going to be honored alongside the 1992 national title team
ldquoWersquore really really proud of all of our other sports who have a lot of successrdquo Saban said ldquoespecially the three womenrsquos sports that won national championships [last season]rdquo

ldquoWe just canrsquot get around the fact that wersquore young and wersquore just going to have to learnrdquo

ldquoTypically this race goes out
incredibly fastrdquo Waters said ldquoItrsquos a flatter faster type of course Our athletes are going to have to get accustomed to seeing a fast pace and be able
to stay positive and still execute a race plan for the bottom half of the racerdquo
On top of the different course layout the run-ners will also be facing a more diverse mixture of schools The Notre Dame Invitational will host several Big
Ten schools like Ohio State and Michigan as well as Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Princeton
The SEC will also be well-represented at the meet Aside from Alabama Mississippi State and Texas AampM will be running Waters is glad to see a variety of competition for his growing team
