This semesterrsquos Get on Board Day will be Tuesday from 5 to 10 pm on the Ferguson Plaza This will be the first time the biannual event has been held in the evening rather than dur-ing the afternoon

The later start time is an

effort to merge Get on Board Day and Plaza Live into an event that attracts more stu-dents said Source Director of

Organizational Outreach DJ Jackson said

ldquoWhat we determined is that we wanted to adopt the feel of Plaza Live but keep the interac-tive element of connecting stu-dents with involvement oppor-tunities like the Get on Board Days of the pastrdquoJackson said ldquoOur goal that we hope will take place this year is to create a more engaging GOBD expe-rience for both students and organizationsrdquo

More than 200 student

organizations are expected to promote at the event in addi-tion to nonprofits UA depart-ments and local vendors

ldquoThe Community Service Center is always striving for the best ways to reach students and help them become involved in some type of meaningful ser-vice during their time at the Universityrdquo Haley Clemmons student director of public relations and outreach at the Community Service Center said ldquoGet on Board Day allows

us to speak directly with new and returning students to not only inform them about vol-unteer opportunities but get them excited as wellrdquo

The revamped event will also feature live entertainment on the Get on Board stage and will integrate technology by allow-ing students with QR scanners to scan barcodes to connect immediately with an organiza-tion that interests them

Ask Jonathan Burkpo about Paty Hall and hersquoll tell you the entire floor smells like sweat and stale smoke

The air is thick and wet like a locker room making

everything slightly dampA rickety air condition-

ing unit keeps his room cool but itrsquos loud and the air is so musty that he ties a scent-ed freshener onto the vent just to beat back the funk But Burkpo hadnrsquot expected much when he moved in last month

He knew the 50-year-old dormrsquos reputation and he knew that losing the housing

race against 7000 other fresh-men would mean one thing A long hard semester in what some call the Paty Projects

ldquoI was like OK itrsquoll be Paty Irsquoll deal with itrdquo he said ldquoThen the first day I moved in I was like lsquoOK I gotta move outrsquordquo

Burkpo had aimed for one of the new suite-style dorms the ones that make Patyrsquos cramped doubles look like

field barracks Instead of four-bedroom suites a Paty dorm has painted cinder-block walls and a ceramic sink that makes the place feel oddly like a prison cell

Instead of private bath-rooms Paty has a row of graf-fitied shower stalls that spray scalding water whenever someone flushes the toilet

Paty Hall residents unifi ed despite negative conditions reputation

No plans to demolish 50-year-old building

Patyrsquos brand of vintage college living may be on the out The University has added 3000 new private bedrooms in the last sever-al years and a second Presidential Village will be completed by the time Burkpo starts his sophomore year The first one came with the demolition of Rose Towers

Could Paty be next on Housingrsquos hit list

The short answer according to Housing Administration Director Alicia Browne is no

ldquoIrsquove been here seven years and Irsquove heard that rumor every yearrdquo she said ldquoTherersquos no truth to itrdquo

In fact Paty which turned 50 this year may actually outlive the

brand new Presidential VillageThe building a slab of steel

and cement was built to last up to 75 years three times as long as the new wood-framed dorms Furthermore suite-style dorms are still a relatively new trend while traditional residence halls like Paty Tutwiler and Burke still make up most on-campus hous-ing and Browne said they arenrsquot going anywhere any time soon

As for the cold floors and shared showers she said thatrsquos not squalor itrsquos just college

ldquoThat was the standard until very recentlyrdquo Browne said ldquoA lot of it has to do with the way this college student generation was raised Theyrsquore used to hav-ing their own bedroom their own bathroom Itrsquos just a different set of expectationsrdquo

Burkporsquos neighbor Colby Moller is from California and he

didnrsquot know anything about the dorms beforehand He picked Paty for the lower price

ldquoItrsquos basic but thatrsquos pretty much what I expectedrdquo he said

But content or not even Moller suspects Paty is at the bottom of the housing barrel

In his bathroom he said usu-ally at least two of the six toi-lets are clogged and full and the door to one stall looks like someone tried to melt it with a Bic lighter Supposedly there is a ping-pong room but itrsquos always locked The media room consists of a handful of mismatched desk chairs around a old projection TV with a thumb-sized gash down the middle of the screen

ldquoDo you have an opinion about Paty Hallrdquo Moller asked floor-mate Stewart Chadler in the hallway

ldquoTherersquos vomit on the floor

over thererdquo Chadler saidBut Moller likes Paty busted

TV and all The residents band together to make the best of the dormrsquos glitches and while his friends at Ridgecrest hole up in their private rooms Moller knows most of the people in his hall by name

ldquoThe rooms are basic so yoursquore always out meeting peo-plerdquo he said

Browne agreed and said she worried that the increased pri-vacy of private bedrooms may come at the loss of an important part of college life

ldquoWe have to learn to compro-mise in different areasrdquo she said ldquoThere is a lot to be gained in situations where people have to communicate and cooperaterdquo

Burkpo and Moller live next to Gabe Mcmahan who ended up in Paty because it was the

only space left He said he despises the building but still finds a sense of pride behind Patyrsquos grimy reputation He takes the scalding showers and vomit-stained floors as badges of honor and in fact the only thing that really bothers him is that guy on the fourth floor wholeaves the curtain open when he showers

ldquoThis naked man needs to know the tyranny of his waysrdquo Mcmahan said

Without much else to do he spends time wandering between rooms or sitting around with thegroup that gathers out front to chat and smoke cigarettes until the small hours of the morning

ldquoI go to Presidential every night and people just sit in their dormsrdquo Mcmahan said ldquoPatyrsquos a piece of crap but damn it wersquoreunitedrdquo

The 6-foot-1 242-pound bruiser primarily played backup running back during his Crimson Tide career but had seen time at H-back and fullback this season a new wrinkle in new offensive coor-dinator Doug Nussmeierrsquos system Fowlerrsquos size also

made him the go-to back in short-yardage and goal line situations

ldquoJalstonrsquos been a great play-er in the programrdquo Saban said ldquoA great special teams guy a great backup player for us and a really good attitude guy and has lots of character A really good competitorrdquo

The loss of Fowler leaves the Tide with only three ful-ly-healthy options at running back all of which are fresh-men Starter Eddie Lacy has

been limited by an ankle inju-ry and missed all of spring practice with a toe injury

True freshman TJ Yeldon opened eyes with his season-opening performance against Michigan rushing for over 100 yards for the first time in Crimson Tide history as a debuting freshman Redshirt freshman Dee Hart is a small-er back at 5-foot-9 190 lbs and true freshman Kenyan Drake scored on a 32-yard run late in Saturdayrsquos game

against Western KentuckyldquoWe have backups at every

one of the positions and roles that he filled There may not be one particular guyrdquo Saban said ldquoAt running back Dee Hart Kenyan Drake will have a little more opportunity Kelly [Johnson] was his back-up at fullback which is where he plays anyway hellip Itrsquos going to take a number of people to replace him in various roles that he played on our teamrdquo

If Fowler does not return

to the field in 2012 he would be eligible for a medical red-shirt which would allow him to return in 2013 as a junior and not lose a year of eligibil-ity

ldquoWersquore all going to pray for Jalston that hopefully hersquoll get back out there soonrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said ldquoBut the only thing we really can do is move on and make sure everybody is focused and preparing right for [Arkansas]rdquo

Tidersquos Fowler likely out for entire season

A former ambassador told stu-dents Monday their major would not be a deciding factor in pur-suing a career in foreign service with the State Department at a colloquium on Cuba the Central Intelligence Agency and Cubarsquos Relations with the United States

ldquoThey donrsquot look at what you studied they look at what you can do from now onrdquo former Ambassador Lino Gutierrez said ldquoYou just have to look in the mirror and figure out what you really care aboutrdquo

Gutierrez who represented the United States in Argentina and Nicaragua met with stu-dents before the event alongside Cuban analyst and author Brian

Latell and Robert Blau the State Department Advisor to Maxwell Air Force Base

ldquoIrsquove always been interested in the CIA and Irsquove always heard things about it and heard sto-ries about other people and their familiesrdquo Yostina Banuob a New College student said ldquoI just thought it would be really cool to work for them somehowrdquo

Students asked questions about getting involved with the State Department taking the Foreign Service Officer Test and dealing with the hardest parts of the job

Everything hinges on the Foreign Service exam Gutierrez said

ldquoItrsquos a meritorious organi-zationrdquo Gutierrez said ldquoThe person who passes the Foreign

Service exam is essentially the person who reads Time maga-zine from cover to coverrdquo

Latell shed light on some of the hostility that is faced by foreign service and intelligence officers while discussing his new book ldquoCastrorsquos Secrets The CIA and Cubarsquos Intelligence Machinerdquo

ldquo[Cubarsquos intelligence agency] is the best or among the two or three best referring to its ability to recruit and run double agents its ability in counterintelligence and its ability to plant moles and spies and penetration agents right in the heart of its enemyrdquo Latell said

Blau served in the US inter-est section in Havana Cuba He explained that an inter-est section is like an embassy but provides a second level of

representation for the US without an ambassador

Blau talked about a verbal dis-agreement he had with a mem-ber of the Cuban government In response to this disagreement Blau said that Cuban officials broke into his house and poisoned his family dog

This was not the only conflict facing foreign officers discussed Monday afternoon Students asked the speakers about the challenges of following orders and maintaining personal val-ues

ldquoWhat you find out is that by and large the foreign policy of the United States on any specific country or any specific issue you can think of doesnrsquot really change that much from Republicans to Democratsrdquo Blau said

Gutierrez said he never felt like he needed to resign or com-promise his morals throughout his foreign service career

ldquoYou support democracy you support human rightsrdquo Gutierrez said ldquoThe people I saw resign in my 29 years some were seeking publicity Others may have had good reasons but I never felt that I was being asked to do something that was against my principlesrdquo

Banuob said that she wants to work for the CIA or the State department someday

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to study international relations and Irsquove always wanted to go into law and all that stuffrdquo Banuob said ldquoI always research so many dif-ferent things that you could do with itrdquo

Major not deciding factor for foreign service career

ldquoIt sounds kind of ridic-ulous but I think it will workrdquo White said

McCabe described the newly remolded Rounders as three ven-ues in one where students

will have the option to either listen to live music downstairs or listen to a DJ upstairs Those seek-ing to escape the noise will also be able to social-ize on the rooftop bar

ldquoRounders is differ-ent itrsquos diverserdquo Austin Alldredge a junior at The University of Alabama said ldquoIt appeals to all crowds football players

Greeks ragers et ceterardquoMcCabe said he has

always had the intention to bring something differ-ent to Alabama

ldquoWe take a bunch of trips to Vegasrdquo McCabe said ldquoThat Vegas atmo-sphere is what we went for when we did the upstairs because there really isnrsquot anything like that to offer hererdquo

Renovated bar to accommodate 870

ldquoOrganizations can also sign up for a spotlight seg-ment on our GOBD stage where they can broad-cast more information about their organizationrdquo Jackson said

Though the event tradi-tionally targets new stu-dents Jackson said GOBD can be informative for returning students

ldquoOne of the privileges of attending such a dynami-cally growing university is that new organizations are created throughout the year and many return-ing students will have an opportunity to see those

at Get on Board Day along-side the first year stu-dentsrdquo said Jackson

Campus dining service pro-grams Bama Cash and Dining Dollars are widely used across campus for meals and late-night study snacks but they can also be a source of confu-sion for freshman and upper-classmen alike

Some students may confuse the programs or the venues that accept each but under-standing how these two pro-grams work is important so that students can learn how to best use them for their benefit

Undergraduate students enrolled in nine or more hours are part of the Dining Dollars program A fee of $300 is auto-matically charged to their stu-dent account for their fall and spring semesters

This equates to $1765 per week or $252 per day available for students to use

ldquoDining Dollars are intended to support on-campus dining needsrdquo said Kristin Hopton- Jones director of university dining services ldquoAnd [they] provide a variety of options conveniently located around campus to promote commu-nityrdquo

Dining Dollars can be used at all Bama Dining locations on campus This includes restaurants in the Ferguson Center and Lloyd Hall vend-ing machines and dining halls Buffalo Philrsquos on the Strip and Dominos also accept Dining Dollars

Businesses that are part of the Dining Dollars pro-grams are contracted through ARAMARK food services not UA Hopton-Jones said

ldquoI like the system overall because my freshman year there were late nights that I would stay up studying and it was easy for me to call Dominosrdquo Chassidy Cook a sophomore majoring in athe-letic training said ldquoI could use Dining Dollars instead of hav-ing to pay out of my pocketrdquo

In order to be considered

exempt from the Dining Dollars program a student must be married or head of their household Hopton-Jones said Head of household is defined as an individual who supports and maintains one or more individuals in a house-hold

The exemption form can be found on the Bama Dining website and support documen-tation must be provided with the form

Unused Dining Dollars roll over to Bama Cash at the end of each semester However if students do not want their din-ing dollars to roll over to the Bama Cash system they may request a refund of their din-ing dollars at the end of the spring semester

The funds will be credited to their student account under student receivables said Hopton-Jones

Cook said she wishes she had known about this refund system earlier in her career at UA She said she may have been more conscientious when spending her Dining Dollars

The request form can be found on the Bama Dining website and must be taken to the Bama Dining Office in Lakeside dining after April 15 in the spring

Bama Cash is the UA dining currency program that func-tions similar to a debit card Unlike the Dining Dollars program students are able to add funds to their Bama Cash account Then they are able to use them at over 75 off-campus locations across Tuscaloosa

ldquoBama Cash was created because community business owners wished to participate in a UA debit programrdquo Cathy Andreen UA spokeswoman said

Andreen said businesses have to apply to become Bama Cash vendors

Bama Cash is also the cur-rency system used for cop-ies and printing as well as for laundry services across campus

Dining programs offer variety of meal options

My visits to doctorsrsquo offices date back to childhood Life and illness progressed parallel to one another In my adolescent years as the entrapped patient I looked upon the world of medicine with cynicism after a chronic disease diagnosis at 12 My father and mother worked at The University of Alabama and consequently I received top notch health coverage

But in the clinic Irsquod look away when doctors sent patients to the second floor of UAB Hospitalrsquos Kirklin Clinic where the patient billing department stood solemnly awaiting those who couldnrsquot afford the costs of health maintenance that ranged from clinic visits to regular tests

When my doctors deemed transplantation the final cure-all treatment for my deteriorat-ing health I disregarded the costs of the procedure I thought treatment was my right My text-books taught me America was based in equality of opportunity Treatment was my only option to move on to go to college to live But when all was said and done I came out of UAB Hospital with a hospital bill exceeding a million dollars after a stay of nearly five months

Transplantation wouldnrsquot

have been a feasible option my senior year of high school if it werenrsquot for my extensive cover-age But even with such a fine premium my family and I stood at a crossroads for Irsquod already taxed my insurance for years with the costs of expensive medi-cation Irsquod used prior to the trans-plant I was approaching whatrsquos commonly known as an insur-ance cap an undisclosed limit when an insurance agency will stop providing coverage for an individual

As I recovered from trans-plant parts of President Obamarsquos Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act materialized An insur-ance company could no longer place lifetime dollar limits on policies Before its passage not only could my coverage be capped off without notice but if I were to leave my parentrsquos policy every insurance company would be reluctant to take me on In a purely capitalist insurance mar-ket Irsquod be a cost risk Now the law eliminates insurance compa-niesrsquo ability to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions

What many people donrsquot realize is that the pre-existing condition clause is closely tied to the individual mandate the more notorious clause of PPACA which penalizes those who do not purchase any type of coverage If the individual man-date and pre-existing clause werenrsquot in place concurrently when people became ill they would immediately purchase insurance ndash and insurance agen-cies couldnrsquot deny them cover-age because of the pre-existing clause

These reforms are necessary because for those with insur-ance bankruptcy from medical costs becomes less reality and more worst-case-scenario How could I foresee being born into this body to this family at this time I never asked for a heart that failed or lungs that choked It could happen to anyone What about my freedom from disease Paul Starr a Pulitzer-Prize win-ning Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton puts it best ldquoHealth itself is a matter of personal freedom To be ill

and debilitated is to be less free To be made destitute by sick-ness and therefore dependent on others is also to be less freerdquo

Many argue the purchase of health insurance should be a choice To them it is a matter of freedom I understand this concern but itrsquos naive to think anyone has the foresight to pre-dict disease Because of this the mandate requires everyone purchase some form of health insurance by 2014 This will prevent Americans from sink-ing into insurance funds only when they get sick Insurance is a safety net not something you buy when you get ill

I have a hard time digesting the traditional argument against the individual mandate ndash that it limits freedom ndash because of per-sonal struggles I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an approach that is less mercan-tile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in the free market based on the cost of their risk Itrsquos a heartless system that begs for reform and what we call Obamacare has done that substantially reorganiz-ing healthcare to make it more accessible and affordable for those who need it most

Obamacare provides freedom in the realm of health life

As I sat in the concrete theme park staring into the disappoint-ment of cheese sauce I thought I had slipped from this reality into a television show I found myself day-dreaming of the years Irsquod given over to American films which were now being played out in front of me the processed hot dogs and pretty faces

I envisaged all the crimson couples sneaking off to drive-ins breaking into the darkened stadi-um when the sun had gone down when it is vulnerable and naked not knowing what to do without players or fans to sit together and quietly caress These couples would end up in a chain restau-rant where the lights never turn off and then they would get mar-ried and have children and inhabit the suburbs silently submissing to a life of lawns and school plays

I was numb with imagination thinking of all the testosterone and beer all the chants and ritu-

als and saw it all tailing off into the night like a distant

dream The

American dream The crimson dream

This is not simply a sport but a way to live a religion and very unique I have never been to a sporting event at which the match itself bows to the demand of tele-vision stopping for commercial breaks as if we have momentari-ly suspended the life we knew before and given ourselves up to the world of billboards and dis-count furniture

Irsquoll give it to you you know how to entertain For a girl who doesnrsquot like football I never once felt bored In fact I didnrsquot know where to look -- the band the cheerleaders the spectators or the game itself Alabama has put on a performance timed to perfection How many hours of practice this takes I cannot begin to understand but in this culture of dedication to the game I can believe it

As the drunk guy behind me shouts ldquoFootball we live it Everyday of every year Three hundred and sixty-fiverdquo I think yes thatrsquos how many days are in a year and yes I do wonder at times how you can gain an education

untouched by this game in a town that runs on Saturday tailgates and the anticipation of the next match Football fuel

A real life crimson tide had drowned the town And as my still slightly drunk self stumbled through the quad on Saturday morning to find a T-shirt for the game I almost felt swept away It had the atmosphere of a circus I was wearing black and I had to get a crimson T-shirt People were everywhere and in my usual efficient fashion I chose the first mildly unobtrusive and subtle shirt I could find

With the T-shirt down I picked a solitary shaker up off the floor and I was half way to looking like I belonged there Irsquom not normally one to get caught up in things but itrsquos nearly inevitable in a town that silences all other voices except those singing the fight song

Even the political and religious junkies played their part as I saw homemade felt-tip pen enthused republican banners backing one of the tailgates professing ldquoRomneyrdquo ldquoRyanrdquo ldquoRoll Tiderdquo a tent of polo

shirts and golf memberships Every aspect of life in this town is filtered through the lens of this sport Itrsquos as if Irsquom wearing crim-son-tinted glasses a world high on football pride

I appreciate that pride can be a beautiful thing but near fear hit me as I felt that I would never see the world in real-time color again

One woman I met was frantical-ly reeling off statistics about last season She had clearly been pay-ing close attention to the teamrsquos every move and wanted to make sure I was up to scratch ldquoYou knowrdquo she said ldquosome people here in Tuscaloosa have never been to a game before so you should appreciate this opportu-nityrdquo

And I did with every part of my body and mind I indulged I flirt-ed with the game and for a while I felt like we might be getting somewhere but after walking away from the field and seeing the blue sky again I felt a small relief that it hadnrsquot turned crimson and questioned how much longer this romance could last

ldquo I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an ap-proach that is less mercantile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in

the free market based on the cost of their risk

Every student pays the same amount of money for foot-ball tickets so itrsquos not unreasonable to expect every student to follow the same rules when it comes to football seating

Unfortunately that is not the case at The University of Alabama where some student groups are given blocks of seats in the south end zone of Bryant-Denny Stadium Those seats are reserved until 45 minutes before kick-off

The blocks are so big they give benefiting orga-nizations 70 percent more seats than they need to accommodate their members mostly so men in fra-ternities can bring guests and dates Students privi-leged enough to have access to block seating donrsquot only have seats reserved for themselves but they also have seats saved for others they invite

This system is grossly unfair to women and minor-ities Sororities for instance regularly lead the greek community in grade point averages and com-munity service and could expect prime placement if they applied for block seating This year though only one sorority applied for and got block seating while 28 all-male organizations received blocks

For most greek women and most women on cam-pus access to block seating is determined entirely by who invites them to a game

Block seating is also discriminatory as the greek organizations that fill most of the section are racially segregated

This year there were some improvements in the way block seating applications were scored Instead of a student-led committee divvying up blocks appli-cations were graded by an automated system devel-oped by a third-party company Some organizations saw their seats moved further back as a result while other organizations benefited from a system that fairly evaluated their academic and service perfor-mance

Most of the credit for these improvements goes to SGA President Matt Calderone who showed lead-ership in implementing a system that removed the subjective ldquohuman elementrdquo from the application scoring process The SGA also reduced the number of student seats reserved for block seating reversing an unwise decision by UA administrators to expand block seating last season

For most students though simply rearranging organizations on a chart does nothing to address the inherent unfairness of giving select students prefer-ential treatment while others line-up hours ahead of kick-off hoping for a good seat

Gamedays are our one opportunity as a student body to present a unified face cheering the Crimson Tide to victory Once in the stadium we shouldnrsquot be separated based on our race our gender or the organizations wersquove joined

We all buy the same tickets and we are all cheer-ing for the same team We should all sit together in one student section with uniform rules for every ticketholder

While this yearrsquos block seating process was a huge improvement over years past the only way to elimi-nate the divisiveness and discrimination block seat-ing perpetuates is to get rid of it

Our View is the consensus of The Crimson White edi-torial board

Women minorities cheated by system

In short Changes to block seating donrsquot address its biggest issues

With football season in full swing now is the time to save up money for those long game day weekends and away game trips and one of the best ways to save time and cash is by making grocery lists and planning your meals ahead of time

For students looking to bet-ter their cooking at home the new app ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo is designed to facilitate mak-ing grocery lists and planning meals The app is available for free in the iTunes App store and Android Marketplace requir-ing only an email address or Facebook login to sign up

The app takes you through steps to help better organize your grocery shopping Users can select which stores they use

for shopping what food they usually purchase and choose options for gluten-free vegetar-ian and low carb

The program also compares prices of stores you select by location For example I chose to compare Target on 13th Avenue East and Publix on University Boulevard At Publix I can buy one get one for free on chicken breast Target does not have a sale on chicken breast this week

After seeing sale items at the store users can look up recipes to cook for the week The user can then see exactly what needs to be purchased facilitating the shopping process and freeing up time

Many news outlets such as Oprah Forbes and CBS 42 Birmingham have praised this

app for helping them cook great meals without slaving for hours Personally I have very limited time to plan meals each week and make a grocery list I will inevitably forget an ingredi-ent I need and have to make an additional trip back to the store however this app could save the headache and the extra effort

ldquoJoin over one million families and save up to $40 a month at more than 16000 grocery stores using this top-rated healthy meal planning and organized grocery list apprdquo reads the description from the iTunes App Store which has also received four out of five stars in ratings

For students looking to save time and money but not sacri-fice good food and taste ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo can make meal-times more of a possibility

Itrsquos 9 pm on a Wednesday night and while campus has become quiet the sound of Steppenwolfrsquos ldquoMagic Carpet Riderdquo blares from the basement of the Sigma Nu fraternity house The Doctors and the Lawyers a UA student band are warming up for a night of practice

The Doctors and the Lawyers formed in September 2011 is the product of random roommate assignments mutual friends and a ldquoLead Guitarist Wantedrdquo flyer The band members had never met prior to attending the University but lead vocalist Evan Brooks a junior majoring in marketing and management

said they share an unspoken con-nection when it comes to music

ldquoIrsquoll come with lyrics [and] have no idea what the song is going to sound like at all and theyrsquoll just jam and itrsquoll fitrdquo Brooks said

Brooks is the bandrsquos lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist and Zach Pline plays the bass Taylor Atkinson mans the piano and sings backup vocals with Chris Wilhelm another lead gui-tarist On the drums is Jordan Kumler

With influences ranging from the Avett Brothers to The Black Keys to Stevie Wonder the Doctors and the Lawyers strive to have claim to a sound thatrsquos their own

ldquoIrsquove probably seen every live

band that plays in Tuscaloosa and Irsquove never heard one that plays the same stuff as we dordquo Brooks said ldquoI feel like itrsquos pretty easy to just go out there and play your lsquoWagon Wheelrsquos and your lsquoCanrsquot You Seersquos and lsquoSweet Home Alabamarsquos ndash not to discredit those songs but you wanna hear something else now and thenrdquo

Wilhelm a junior majoring in chemical engineering said the band membersrsquo diverse musical backgrounds play a crucial role in developing their distinctive sound

ldquoWe all have our own visions our own style so wersquoll get together and wersquoll try to play a song and it will just kind of meld everything together and just

turn into something goodrdquo he said

The band had an opportunity this summer to record some of their music in a renowned studio in New York City

Gabe Menendez the bandrsquos manager showed the demo CD to his friend at KMA Studios in New York City The Doctors and the Lawyers were invited to record at the studio adding their names to a long list of the studiorsquos artists including Alicia Keys Beyonce Jay-Z and Paul Simon

Songs donrsquot always translate well in the studio though

ldquoI remember when we first recorded our original songs we tried to go down to the studio and do lsquoAll Along the Watchtowerrsquo and spent three hours on it and

just couldnrsquot get it rightrdquo Pline a junior majoring in economics said

The band members agree that when theyrsquore playing live shows their true passion for music shines through

ldquoWe always try and top our-selvesrdquo Wilhelm said ldquoWhatever song we have ndash wersquoll go do some-thing really awesome and be like ldquoThat was awesome I wonder if we can do better than thatrdquorsquo

As rewarding as being in a band can be the members find it challenging to balance the band with school and other activities

ldquoFor me the only time I have to myself I use to practicerdquo Atkinson said ldquoI mean I love doing it but I donrsquot have any time other than thatrdquo

Despite the sacrifices it takes to be musicians the band mem-bers agreed they are in it for the long haul despite pressure from family and friends to find regu-lar work in a tough economy For these five individuals music is more than a hobby they hope to someday turn it into a career

ldquoOur band name is the Doctors and the Lawyershellipbut the thing is our goal is to not turn out as doctors and lawyersrdquo Wilhelm said

The Doctors and the Lawyers hope to release their first album in mid-October For more infor-mation visit their Facebook page wwwfacebookcomTheDoctorsAndTheLawyers o r t h e i r T w i tt e r Doctors_Lawyers

The University of Alabama Recreation Center has made a new addition to their fall class schedule adding two Barre Fitness classes on Mondays and Thursdays from 330 to 420 pm

Barre Fitness an increasingly popular workout among young women is a progressive workout based on ballet barre exercises starting with smaller move-ments and progressing to larger and more involved movements throughout the class period

Jenna Reynolds a sophomore majoring in Spanish and phi-losophy said she enjoys how the class is a full-body workout

ldquoThe Barre Fitness class was a really fun twist on traditional elements of the barre combined with upbeat musicrdquo Reynolds said ldquoIt was definitely a serious

workoutrdquoWhitney Spota coordina-

tor of group exercise at the Recreation Center said the barre fitness trend was an element the Recreation Center had yet to explore in the schedule until this year

ldquoIn the fitness world you have to constantly keep up with the trends and my job is to see that we do thatrdquo Spota said

Although there are currently only two classes being offered the Rec Center is considering the possibility of adding more to the schedule for spring semester

ldquoWe want to see how well it does before we add more [class-es]rdquo Spota said ldquoWe always do a little test to see how participants respond and so far we have had a great responserdquo

Mallory Haney a graduate student studying counselor

Barre fi tness classes come to the Rec Center

education and instructor of both Barre Fitness classes said the Recreation Center has been busy since school started back and barre class attendance is picking up as well

ldquoPeople are starting to hear about the class and they are

wanting to try it outrdquo Haney said

She also said the day when the Recreation Centerrsquos general attendance was lowest since the start of the fall semester was the day that the Barre Fitness class had its highest attendance since

the class has started and she is also beginning to recognize the faces of those attending the class on a regular basis

The requests for a barre based class came flowing in after Tuscaloosa got its own Pure Barre studio on McFarland

Boulevard in August Pure Barre studio offers similar type classes with a variety of membership packages and other services available

For some students like Reynolds they are willing to try a class at Pure Barre but are more inclined to attend to class-es at the Recreation Center for variety convenience and cost

ldquoI prefer to try the Rec classes because there is such a variety of choicerdquo Reynolds said

Pure Barrersquos presence aside many think attendance to the Recreation Centerrsquos classes will continue to rise

ldquoYou canrsquot beat a free classrdquo Spota said ldquoI think a lot of our participants will stick to our classes but you canrsquot blame them for being curious and wanting to try something else You have to find a class that works for yourdquo

The University of Alabama womenrsquos tennis team is prepar-ing to begin its fall campaign with confidence from the teamrsquos suc-cess last year

The Crimson Tide saw its strongest season in school his-tory in 2012 under head coach Jenny Mainz The coach saw her ninth national championship appearance with the Tide last year and hopes her team will use the momentum and confidence from last yearrsquos success to propel it into this season

The team made it to the SEC semifinals before Georgia

overtook the Tide winning 4-3 The women then competed as the No 8 seed in the NCAA Championship The Tide also sent three players to the NCAA singles and doubles championship

Mainz said a key aspect of her teamrsquos success last year was the dynamic between the players While the team has not played in a match together this year Mainz is confident the players will mesh as well as they have in previous years

ldquoWhat wersquove done through time is build a strong sound program where regardless of whorsquos coming in they fit into the dynamic of team playerrdquo she said ldquoVery enthusiastic good

energy they compete hard their best tennis is still in front of themrdquo

This dynamic led senior Alexa Guarachi and junior Mary Anne Mcfarlane to compete in singles at the NCAA Championship last year Gaurachi entered last yearrsquos national championship seeded No 7 for singles and has returned this year for her senior season Her experience and enthusiasm has prepared her for a great senior campaign Mainz said

Mcfarlane returns this year as an All-American and a leader Mainz said the junior has held this position each year she has played for the Tide in what is one of the most

Womenrsquos tennis team looks to start season strong

By Rebekah DyeContributing Writer

The Alabama volleyball team is off to its best start in six years after a 4-0 tournament this weekend The Tide holds a record of 10-1 heading into Tuesdayrsquos game against the Samford Bulldogs

ldquoThis is the most wins wersquove had in a preseason since Irsquove been hererdquo senior Kayla Fitterer said ldquoOur confidence is up which is really good to go into SECs Samford will be a really tough game on Tuesday leading up to itrdquo

Fitterer has been nursing a foot injury but played two of the four games from the tour-nament She is now cleared to play every game from here on out which is good news for this

Crimson Tide team This season Fitterer has posted 76 kills a 221 hitting percentage and is some-one that the team looks to head-ing into the upcoming weeks

ldquoThe main thing for us is we want her healthy as we begin SEC playrdquo head coach Ed Allen said

With Fitterer being out and the new freshmen on the team the Tide hasnrsquot been able to field a steady lineup Even so Alabama has made progress as a team and has seen potential form in its new members

ldquoConsidering how many new people we have wersquore doing pretty wellrdquo freshman outside hitter Laura Steiner said ldquoWersquove been trying a lot of things with the lineup especially with Kayla being injured and wersquove done pretty well with what wersquove got

We know things are about to get amped up over the next week with SEC actually startingrdquo

The Bulldogs had their best season last year clinching the SEC for the first time in school history with a 29-5 record This season Samford returns every starter from the championship team and added one new fresh-man middle blocker

The Bulldogs are 1-16 against Alabama all-time with the only win coming just last year and are on a four-game winning streak

ldquoSamfordrsquos a solid team that will challenge for the So-Con title as they did last year as wellrdquo Allen said ldquoJust being more consistent out of serve-receive and the momentum of being 10-1 will be important for usrdquo

Crimson Tide faces Samford in fi nal non-conference game

competitive conferences in the country

ldquoOur biggest goal is to really bond with each other and learn

about each otherrdquo Gaurachi said ldquo[Itrsquos important] because wersquore a whole new team with different strengths and weaknesses than last yearrdquo

The Tide tennis team also added freshmen Maya Jansen and Natalie Maynetto in the off-season Mainz said both players were on the courts every day and excelled in the weight room over the summer She believes both have a passion for the game and an eagerness to add to the team

ldquoMaynetto is little but shersquos fieryrdquo Mainz said ldquoShersquos tena-cious She has a little bit of South American flair to her Maya is a real athlete Shersquos raw Her best tennis is in front of herrdquo

UA AthleticsAntonia Foehse and head coach Jenny Mainz are ready for this year

Patyrsquos brand of vintage college living may be on the out The University has added 3000 new private bedrooms in the last sever-al years and a second Presidential Village will be completed by the time Burkpo starts his sophomore year The first one came with the demolition of Rose Towers

Could Paty be next on Housingrsquos hit list

The short answer according to Housing Administration Director Alicia Browne is no

ldquoIrsquove been here seven years and Irsquove heard that rumor every yearrdquo she said ldquoTherersquos no truth to itrdquo

In fact Paty which turned 50 this year may actually outlive the

brand new Presidential VillageThe building a slab of steel

and cement was built to last up to 75 years three times as long as the new wood-framed dorms Furthermore suite-style dorms are still a relatively new trend while traditional residence halls like Paty Tutwiler and Burke still make up most on-campus hous-ing and Browne said they arenrsquot going anywhere any time soon

As for the cold floors and shared showers she said thatrsquos not squalor itrsquos just college

ldquoThat was the standard until very recentlyrdquo Browne said ldquoA lot of it has to do with the way this college student generation was raised Theyrsquore used to hav-ing their own bedroom their own bathroom Itrsquos just a different set of expectationsrdquo

Burkporsquos neighbor Colby Moller is from California and he

didnrsquot know anything about the dorms beforehand He picked Paty for the lower price

ldquoItrsquos basic but thatrsquos pretty much what I expectedrdquo he said

But content or not even Moller suspects Paty is at the bottom of the housing barrel

In his bathroom he said usu-ally at least two of the six toi-lets are clogged and full and the door to one stall looks like someone tried to melt it with a Bic lighter Supposedly there is a ping-pong room but itrsquos always locked The media room consists of a handful of mismatched desk chairs around a old projection TV with a thumb-sized gash down the middle of the screen

ldquoDo you have an opinion about Paty Hallrdquo Moller asked floor-mate Stewart Chadler in the hallway

ldquoTherersquos vomit on the floor

over thererdquo Chadler saidBut Moller likes Paty busted

TV and all The residents band together to make the best of the dormrsquos glitches and while his friends at Ridgecrest hole up in their private rooms Moller knows most of the people in his hall by name

ldquoThe rooms are basic so yoursquore always out meeting peo-plerdquo he said

Browne agreed and said she worried that the increased pri-vacy of private bedrooms may come at the loss of an important part of college life

ldquoWe have to learn to compro-mise in different areasrdquo she said ldquoThere is a lot to be gained in situations where people have to communicate and cooperaterdquo

Burkpo and Moller live next to Gabe Mcmahan who ended up in Paty because it was the

only space left He said he despises the building but still finds a sense of pride behind Patyrsquos grimy reputation He takes the scalding showers and vomit-stained floors as badges of honor and in fact the only thing that really bothers him is that guy on the fourth floor wholeaves the curtain open when he showers

ldquoThis naked man needs to know the tyranny of his waysrdquo Mcmahan said

Without much else to do he spends time wandering between rooms or sitting around with thegroup that gathers out front to chat and smoke cigarettes until the small hours of the morning

ldquoI go to Presidential every night and people just sit in their dormsrdquo Mcmahan said ldquoPatyrsquos a piece of crap but damn it wersquoreunitedrdquo

The 6-foot-1 242-pound bruiser primarily played backup running back during his Crimson Tide career but had seen time at H-back and fullback this season a new wrinkle in new offensive coor-dinator Doug Nussmeierrsquos system Fowlerrsquos size also

made him the go-to back in short-yardage and goal line situations

ldquoJalstonrsquos been a great play-er in the programrdquo Saban said ldquoA great special teams guy a great backup player for us and a really good attitude guy and has lots of character A really good competitorrdquo

The loss of Fowler leaves the Tide with only three ful-ly-healthy options at running back all of which are fresh-men Starter Eddie Lacy has

been limited by an ankle inju-ry and missed all of spring practice with a toe injury

True freshman TJ Yeldon opened eyes with his season-opening performance against Michigan rushing for over 100 yards for the first time in Crimson Tide history as a debuting freshman Redshirt freshman Dee Hart is a small-er back at 5-foot-9 190 lbs and true freshman Kenyan Drake scored on a 32-yard run late in Saturdayrsquos game

against Western KentuckyldquoWe have backups at every

one of the positions and roles that he filled There may not be one particular guyrdquo Saban said ldquoAt running back Dee Hart Kenyan Drake will have a little more opportunity Kelly [Johnson] was his back-up at fullback which is where he plays anyway hellip Itrsquos going to take a number of people to replace him in various roles that he played on our teamrdquo

If Fowler does not return

to the field in 2012 he would be eligible for a medical red-shirt which would allow him to return in 2013 as a junior and not lose a year of eligibil-ity

ldquoWersquore all going to pray for Jalston that hopefully hersquoll get back out there soonrdquo wide receiver Kevin Norwood said ldquoBut the only thing we really can do is move on and make sure everybody is focused and preparing right for [Arkansas]rdquo

Tidersquos Fowler likely out for entire season

By Chandler WrightContributing Writer

A former ambassador told stu-dents Monday their major would not be a deciding factor in pur-suing a career in foreign service with the State Department at a colloquium on Cuba the Central Intelligence Agency and Cubarsquos Relations with the United States

ldquoThey donrsquot look at what you studied they look at what you can do from now onrdquo former Ambassador Lino Gutierrez said ldquoYou just have to look in the mirror and figure out what you really care aboutrdquo

Gutierrez who represented the United States in Argentina and Nicaragua met with stu-dents before the event alongside Cuban analyst and author Brian

Latell and Robert Blau the State Department Advisor to Maxwell Air Force Base

ldquoIrsquove always been interested in the CIA and Irsquove always heard things about it and heard sto-ries about other people and their familiesrdquo Yostina Banuob a New College student said ldquoI just thought it would be really cool to work for them somehowrdquo

Students asked questions about getting involved with the State Department taking the Foreign Service Officer Test and dealing with the hardest parts of the job

Everything hinges on the Foreign Service exam Gutierrez said

ldquoItrsquos a meritorious organi-zationrdquo Gutierrez said ldquoThe person who passes the Foreign

Service exam is essentially the person who reads Time maga-zine from cover to coverrdquo

Latell shed light on some of the hostility that is faced by foreign service and intelligence officers while discussing his new book ldquoCastrorsquos Secrets The CIA and Cubarsquos Intelligence Machinerdquo

ldquo[Cubarsquos intelligence agency] is the best or among the two or three best referring to its ability to recruit and run double agents its ability in counterintelligence and its ability to plant moles and spies and penetration agents right in the heart of its enemyrdquo Latell said

Blau served in the US inter-est section in Havana Cuba He explained that an inter-est section is like an embassy but provides a second level of

representation for the US without an ambassador

Blau talked about a verbal dis-agreement he had with a mem-ber of the Cuban government In response to this disagreement Blau said that Cuban officials broke into his house and poisoned his family dog

This was not the only conflict facing foreign officers discussed Monday afternoon Students asked the speakers about the challenges of following orders and maintaining personal val-ues

ldquoWhat you find out is that by and large the foreign policy of the United States on any specific country or any specific issue you can think of doesnrsquot really change that much from Republicans to Democratsrdquo Blau said

Gutierrez said he never felt like he needed to resign or com-promise his morals throughout his foreign service career

ldquoYou support democracy you support human rightsrdquo Gutierrez said ldquoThe people I saw resign in my 29 years some were seeking publicity Others may have had good reasons but I never felt that I was being asked to do something that was against my principlesrdquo

Banuob said that she wants to work for the CIA or the State department someday

ldquoIrsquove always wanted to study international relations and Irsquove always wanted to go into law and all that stuffrdquo Banuob said ldquoI always research so many dif-ferent things that you could do with itrdquo

Major not deciding factor for foreign service career

ldquoIt sounds kind of ridic-ulous but I think it will workrdquo White said

McCabe described the newly remolded Rounders as three ven-ues in one where students

will have the option to either listen to live music downstairs or listen to a DJ upstairs Those seek-ing to escape the noise will also be able to social-ize on the rooftop bar

ldquoRounders is differ-ent itrsquos diverserdquo Austin Alldredge a junior at The University of Alabama said ldquoIt appeals to all crowds football players

Greeks ragers et ceterardquoMcCabe said he has

always had the intention to bring something differ-ent to Alabama

ldquoWe take a bunch of trips to Vegasrdquo McCabe said ldquoThat Vegas atmo-sphere is what we went for when we did the upstairs because there really isnrsquot anything like that to offer hererdquo

ldquoOrganizations can also sign up for a spotlight seg-ment on our GOBD stage where they can broad-cast more information about their organizationrdquo Jackson said

Though the event tradi-tionally targets new stu-dents Jackson said GOBD can be informative for returning students

ldquoOne of the privileges of attending such a dynami-cally growing university is that new organizations are created throughout the year and many return-ing students will have an opportunity to see those

at Get on Board Day along-side the first year stu-dentsrdquo said Jackson

Campus dining service pro-grams Bama Cash and Dining Dollars are widely used across campus for meals and late-night study snacks but they can also be a source of confu-sion for freshman and upper-classmen alike

Some students may confuse the programs or the venues that accept each but under-standing how these two pro-grams work is important so that students can learn how to best use them for their benefit

Undergraduate students enrolled in nine or more hours are part of the Dining Dollars program A fee of $300 is auto-matically charged to their stu-dent account for their fall and spring semesters

This equates to $1765 per week or $252 per day available for students to use

ldquoDining Dollars are intended to support on-campus dining needsrdquo said Kristin Hopton- Jones director of university dining services ldquoAnd [they] provide a variety of options conveniently located around campus to promote commu-nityrdquo

Dining Dollars can be used at all Bama Dining locations on campus This includes restaurants in the Ferguson Center and Lloyd Hall vend-ing machines and dining halls Buffalo Philrsquos on the Strip and Dominos also accept Dining Dollars

Businesses that are part of the Dining Dollars pro-grams are contracted through ARAMARK food services not UA Hopton-Jones said

ldquoI like the system overall because my freshman year there were late nights that I would stay up studying and it was easy for me to call Dominosrdquo Chassidy Cook a sophomore majoring in athe-letic training said ldquoI could use Dining Dollars instead of hav-ing to pay out of my pocketrdquo

In order to be considered

exempt from the Dining Dollars program a student must be married or head of their household Hopton-Jones said Head of household is defined as an individual who supports and maintains one or more individuals in a house-hold

The exemption form can be found on the Bama Dining website and support documen-tation must be provided with the form

Unused Dining Dollars roll over to Bama Cash at the end of each semester However if students do not want their din-ing dollars to roll over to the Bama Cash system they may request a refund of their din-ing dollars at the end of the spring semester

The funds will be credited to their student account under student receivables said Hopton-Jones

Cook said she wishes she had known about this refund system earlier in her career at UA She said she may have been more conscientious when spending her Dining Dollars

The request form can be found on the Bama Dining website and must be taken to the Bama Dining Office in Lakeside dining after April 15 in the spring

Bama Cash is the UA dining currency program that func-tions similar to a debit card Unlike the Dining Dollars program students are able to add funds to their Bama Cash account Then they are able to use them at over 75 off-campus locations across Tuscaloosa

ldquoBama Cash was created because community business owners wished to participate in a UA debit programrdquo Cathy Andreen UA spokeswoman said

Andreen said businesses have to apply to become Bama Cash vendors

Bama Cash is also the cur-rency system used for cop-ies and printing as well as for laundry services across campus

Dining programs offer variety of meal options

My visits to doctorsrsquo offices date back to childhood Life and illness progressed parallel to one another In my adolescent years as the entrapped patient I looked upon the world of medicine with cynicism after a chronic disease diagnosis at 12 My father and mother worked at The University of Alabama and consequently I received top notch health coverage

But in the clinic Irsquod look away when doctors sent patients to the second floor of UAB Hospitalrsquos Kirklin Clinic where the patient billing department stood solemnly awaiting those who couldnrsquot afford the costs of health maintenance that ranged from clinic visits to regular tests

When my doctors deemed transplantation the final cure-all treatment for my deteriorat-ing health I disregarded the costs of the procedure I thought treatment was my right My text-books taught me America was based in equality of opportunity Treatment was my only option to move on to go to college to live But when all was said and done I came out of UAB Hospital with a hospital bill exceeding a million dollars after a stay of nearly five months

Transplantation wouldnrsquot

have been a feasible option my senior year of high school if it werenrsquot for my extensive cover-age But even with such a fine premium my family and I stood at a crossroads for Irsquod already taxed my insurance for years with the costs of expensive medi-cation Irsquod used prior to the trans-plant I was approaching whatrsquos commonly known as an insur-ance cap an undisclosed limit when an insurance agency will stop providing coverage for an individual

As I recovered from trans-plant parts of President Obamarsquos Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act materialized An insur-ance company could no longer place lifetime dollar limits on policies Before its passage not only could my coverage be capped off without notice but if I were to leave my parentrsquos policy every insurance company would be reluctant to take me on In a purely capitalist insurance mar-ket Irsquod be a cost risk Now the law eliminates insurance compa-niesrsquo ability to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions

What many people donrsquot realize is that the pre-existing condition clause is closely tied to the individual mandate the more notorious clause of PPACA which penalizes those who do not purchase any type of coverage If the individual man-date and pre-existing clause werenrsquot in place concurrently when people became ill they would immediately purchase insurance ndash and insurance agen-cies couldnrsquot deny them cover-age because of the pre-existing clause

These reforms are necessary because for those with insur-ance bankruptcy from medical costs becomes less reality and more worst-case-scenario How could I foresee being born into this body to this family at this time I never asked for a heart that failed or lungs that choked It could happen to anyone What about my freedom from disease Paul Starr a Pulitzer-Prize win-ning Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton puts it best ldquoHealth itself is a matter of personal freedom To be ill

and debilitated is to be less free To be made destitute by sick-ness and therefore dependent on others is also to be less freerdquo

Many argue the purchase of health insurance should be a choice To them it is a matter of freedom I understand this concern but itrsquos naive to think anyone has the foresight to pre-dict disease Because of this the mandate requires everyone purchase some form of health insurance by 2014 This will prevent Americans from sink-ing into insurance funds only when they get sick Insurance is a safety net not something you buy when you get ill

I have a hard time digesting the traditional argument against the individual mandate ndash that it limits freedom ndash because of per-sonal struggles I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an approach that is less mercan-tile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in the free market based on the cost of their risk Itrsquos a heartless system that begs for reform and what we call Obamacare has done that substantially reorganiz-ing healthcare to make it more accessible and affordable for those who need it most

Obamacare provides freedom in the realm of health life

By Lucy CheseldineStaff Columnist

As I sat in the concrete theme park staring into the disappoint-ment of cheese sauce I thought I had slipped from this reality into a television show I found myself day-dreaming of the years Irsquod given over to American films which were now being played out in front of me the processed hot dogs and pretty faces

I envisaged all the crimson couples sneaking off to drive-ins breaking into the darkened stadi-um when the sun had gone down when it is vulnerable and naked not knowing what to do without players or fans to sit together and quietly caress These couples would end up in a chain restau-rant where the lights never turn off and then they would get mar-ried and have children and inhabit the suburbs silently submissing to a life of lawns and school plays

I was numb with imagination thinking of all the testosterone and beer all the chants and ritu-

als and saw it all tailing off into the night like a distant

dream The

American dream The crimson dream

This is not simply a sport but a way to live a religion and very unique I have never been to a sporting event at which the match itself bows to the demand of tele-vision stopping for commercial breaks as if we have momentari-ly suspended the life we knew before and given ourselves up to the world of billboards and dis-count furniture

Irsquoll give it to you you know how to entertain For a girl who doesnrsquot like football I never once felt bored In fact I didnrsquot know where to look -- the band the cheerleaders the spectators or the game itself Alabama has put on a performance timed to perfection How many hours of practice this takes I cannot begin to understand but in this culture of dedication to the game I can believe it

As the drunk guy behind me shouts ldquoFootball we live it Everyday of every year Three hundred and sixty-fiverdquo I think yes thatrsquos how many days are in a year and yes I do wonder at times how you can gain an education

untouched by this game in a town that runs on Saturday tailgates and the anticipation of the next match Football fuel

A real life crimson tide had drowned the town And as my still slightly drunk self stumbled through the quad on Saturday morning to find a T-shirt for the game I almost felt swept away It had the atmosphere of a circus I was wearing black and I had to get a crimson T-shirt People were everywhere and in my usual efficient fashion I chose the first mildly unobtrusive and subtle shirt I could find

With the T-shirt down I picked a solitary shaker up off the floor and I was half way to looking like I belonged there Irsquom not normally one to get caught up in things but itrsquos nearly inevitable in a town that silences all other voices except those singing the fight song

Even the political and religious junkies played their part as I saw homemade felt-tip pen enthused republican banners backing one of the tailgates professing ldquoRomneyrdquo ldquoRyanrdquo ldquoRoll Tiderdquo a tent of polo

shirts and golf memberships Every aspect of life in this town is filtered through the lens of this sport Itrsquos as if Irsquom wearing crim-son-tinted glasses a world high on football pride

I appreciate that pride can be a beautiful thing but near fear hit me as I felt that I would never see the world in real-time color again

One woman I met was frantical-ly reeling off statistics about last season She had clearly been pay-ing close attention to the teamrsquos every move and wanted to make sure I was up to scratch ldquoYou knowrdquo she said ldquosome people here in Tuscaloosa have never been to a game before so you should appreciate this opportu-nityrdquo

And I did with every part of my body and mind I indulged I flirt-ed with the game and for a while I felt like we might be getting somewhere but after walking away from the field and seeing the blue sky again I felt a small relief that it hadnrsquot turned crimson and questioned how much longer this romance could last

ldquo I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an ap-proach that is less mercantile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in

the free market based on the cost of their risk

Every student pays the same amount of money for foot-ball tickets so itrsquos not unreasonable to expect every student to follow the same rules when it comes to football seating

Unfortunately that is not the case at The University of Alabama where some student groups are given blocks of seats in the south end zone of Bryant-Denny Stadium Those seats are reserved until 45 minutes before kick-off

The blocks are so big they give benefiting orga-nizations 70 percent more seats than they need to accommodate their members mostly so men in fra-ternities can bring guests and dates Students privi-leged enough to have access to block seating donrsquot only have seats reserved for themselves but they also have seats saved for others they invite

This system is grossly unfair to women and minor-ities Sororities for instance regularly lead the greek community in grade point averages and com-munity service and could expect prime placement if they applied for block seating This year though only one sorority applied for and got block seating while 28 all-male organizations received blocks

For most greek women and most women on cam-pus access to block seating is determined entirely by who invites them to a game

Block seating is also discriminatory as the greek organizations that fill most of the section are racially segregated

This year there were some improvements in the way block seating applications were scored Instead of a student-led committee divvying up blocks appli-cations were graded by an automated system devel-oped by a third-party company Some organizations saw their seats moved further back as a result while other organizations benefited from a system that fairly evaluated their academic and service perfor-mance

Most of the credit for these improvements goes to SGA President Matt Calderone who showed lead-ership in implementing a system that removed the subjective ldquohuman elementrdquo from the application scoring process The SGA also reduced the number of student seats reserved for block seating reversing an unwise decision by UA administrators to expand block seating last season

For most students though simply rearranging organizations on a chart does nothing to address the inherent unfairness of giving select students prefer-ential treatment while others line-up hours ahead of kick-off hoping for a good seat

Gamedays are our one opportunity as a student body to present a unified face cheering the Crimson Tide to victory Once in the stadium we shouldnrsquot be separated based on our race our gender or the organizations wersquove joined

We all buy the same tickets and we are all cheer-ing for the same team We should all sit together in one student section with uniform rules for every ticketholder

While this yearrsquos block seating process was a huge improvement over years past the only way to elimi-nate the divisiveness and discrimination block seat-ing perpetuates is to get rid of it

Our View is the consensus of The Crimson White edi-torial board

Women minorities cheated by system

In short Changes to block seating donrsquot address its biggest issues

With football season in full swing now is the time to save up money for those long game day weekends and away game trips and one of the best ways to save time and cash is by making grocery lists and planning your meals ahead of time

For students looking to bet-ter their cooking at home the new app ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo is designed to facilitate mak-ing grocery lists and planning meals The app is available for free in the iTunes App store and Android Marketplace requir-ing only an email address or Facebook login to sign up

The app takes you through steps to help better organize your grocery shopping Users can select which stores they use

for shopping what food they usually purchase and choose options for gluten-free vegetar-ian and low carb

The program also compares prices of stores you select by location For example I chose to compare Target on 13th Avenue East and Publix on University Boulevard At Publix I can buy one get one for free on chicken breast Target does not have a sale on chicken breast this week

After seeing sale items at the store users can look up recipes to cook for the week The user can then see exactly what needs to be purchased facilitating the shopping process and freeing up time

Many news outlets such as Oprah Forbes and CBS 42 Birmingham have praised this

app for helping them cook great meals without slaving for hours Personally I have very limited time to plan meals each week and make a grocery list I will inevitably forget an ingredi-ent I need and have to make an additional trip back to the store however this app could save the headache and the extra effort

ldquoJoin over one million families and save up to $40 a month at more than 16000 grocery stores using this top-rated healthy meal planning and organized grocery list apprdquo reads the description from the iTunes App Store which has also received four out of five stars in ratings

For students looking to save time and money but not sacri-fice good food and taste ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo can make meal-times more of a possibility

Itrsquos 9 pm on a Wednesday night and while campus has become quiet the sound of Steppenwolfrsquos ldquoMagic Carpet Riderdquo blares from the basement of the Sigma Nu fraternity house The Doctors and the Lawyers a UA student band are warming up for a night of practice

The Doctors and the Lawyers formed in September 2011 is the product of random roommate assignments mutual friends and a ldquoLead Guitarist Wantedrdquo flyer The band members had never met prior to attending the University but lead vocalist Evan Brooks a junior majoring in marketing and management

said they share an unspoken con-nection when it comes to music

ldquoIrsquoll come with lyrics [and] have no idea what the song is going to sound like at all and theyrsquoll just jam and itrsquoll fitrdquo Brooks said

Brooks is the bandrsquos lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist and Zach Pline plays the bass Taylor Atkinson mans the piano and sings backup vocals with Chris Wilhelm another lead gui-tarist On the drums is Jordan Kumler

With influences ranging from the Avett Brothers to The Black Keys to Stevie Wonder the Doctors and the Lawyers strive to have claim to a sound thatrsquos their own

ldquoIrsquove probably seen every live

band that plays in Tuscaloosa and Irsquove never heard one that plays the same stuff as we dordquo Brooks said ldquoI feel like itrsquos pretty easy to just go out there and play your lsquoWagon Wheelrsquos and your lsquoCanrsquot You Seersquos and lsquoSweet Home Alabamarsquos ndash not to discredit those songs but you wanna hear something else now and thenrdquo

Wilhelm a junior majoring in chemical engineering said the band membersrsquo diverse musical backgrounds play a crucial role in developing their distinctive sound

ldquoWe all have our own visions our own style so wersquoll get together and wersquoll try to play a song and it will just kind of meld everything together and just

turn into something goodrdquo he said

The band had an opportunity this summer to record some of their music in a renowned studio in New York City

Gabe Menendez the bandrsquos manager showed the demo CD to his friend at KMA Studios in New York City The Doctors and the Lawyers were invited to record at the studio adding their names to a long list of the studiorsquos artists including Alicia Keys Beyonce Jay-Z and Paul Simon

Songs donrsquot always translate well in the studio though

ldquoI remember when we first recorded our original songs we tried to go down to the studio and do lsquoAll Along the Watchtowerrsquo and spent three hours on it and

just couldnrsquot get it rightrdquo Pline a junior majoring in economics said

The band members agree that when theyrsquore playing live shows their true passion for music shines through

ldquoWe always try and top our-selvesrdquo Wilhelm said ldquoWhatever song we have ndash wersquoll go do some-thing really awesome and be like ldquoThat was awesome I wonder if we can do better than thatrdquorsquo

As rewarding as being in a band can be the members find it challenging to balance the band with school and other activities

ldquoFor me the only time I have to myself I use to practicerdquo Atkinson said ldquoI mean I love doing it but I donrsquot have any time other than thatrdquo

Despite the sacrifices it takes to be musicians the band mem-bers agreed they are in it for the long haul despite pressure from family and friends to find regu-lar work in a tough economy For these five individuals music is more than a hobby they hope to someday turn it into a career

ldquoOur band name is the Doctors and the Lawyershellipbut the thing is our goal is to not turn out as doctors and lawyersrdquo Wilhelm said

The Doctors and the Lawyers hope to release their first album in mid-October For more infor-mation visit their Facebook page wwwfacebookcomTheDoctorsAndTheLawyers o r t h e i r T w i tt e r Doctors_Lawyers

The University of Alabama Recreation Center has made a new addition to their fall class schedule adding two Barre Fitness classes on Mondays and Thursdays from 330 to 420 pm

Barre Fitness an increasingly popular workout among young women is a progressive workout based on ballet barre exercises starting with smaller move-ments and progressing to larger and more involved movements throughout the class period

Jenna Reynolds a sophomore majoring in Spanish and phi-losophy said she enjoys how the class is a full-body workout

ldquoThe Barre Fitness class was a really fun twist on traditional elements of the barre combined with upbeat musicrdquo Reynolds said ldquoIt was definitely a serious

workoutrdquoWhitney Spota coordina-

tor of group exercise at the Recreation Center said the barre fitness trend was an element the Recreation Center had yet to explore in the schedule until this year

ldquoIn the fitness world you have to constantly keep up with the trends and my job is to see that we do thatrdquo Spota said

Although there are currently only two classes being offered the Rec Center is considering the possibility of adding more to the schedule for spring semester

ldquoWe want to see how well it does before we add more [class-es]rdquo Spota said ldquoWe always do a little test to see how participants respond and so far we have had a great responserdquo

Mallory Haney a graduate student studying counselor

Barre fi tness classes come to the Rec Center

education and instructor of both Barre Fitness classes said the Recreation Center has been busy since school started back and barre class attendance is picking up as well

ldquoPeople are starting to hear about the class and they are

wanting to try it outrdquo Haney said

She also said the day when the Recreation Centerrsquos general attendance was lowest since the start of the fall semester was the day that the Barre Fitness class had its highest attendance since

the class has started and she is also beginning to recognize the faces of those attending the class on a regular basis

The requests for a barre based class came flowing in after Tuscaloosa got its own Pure Barre studio on McFarland

Boulevard in August Pure Barre studio offers similar type classes with a variety of membership packages and other services available

For some students like Reynolds they are willing to try a class at Pure Barre but are more inclined to attend to class-es at the Recreation Center for variety convenience and cost

ldquoI prefer to try the Rec classes because there is such a variety of choicerdquo Reynolds said

Pure Barrersquos presence aside many think attendance to the Recreation Centerrsquos classes will continue to rise

ldquoYou canrsquot beat a free classrdquo Spota said ldquoI think a lot of our participants will stick to our classes but you canrsquot blame them for being curious and wanting to try something else You have to find a class that works for yourdquo

The University of Alabama womenrsquos tennis team is prepar-ing to begin its fall campaign with confidence from the teamrsquos suc-cess last year

The Crimson Tide saw its strongest season in school his-tory in 2012 under head coach Jenny Mainz The coach saw her ninth national championship appearance with the Tide last year and hopes her team will use the momentum and confidence from last yearrsquos success to propel it into this season

The team made it to the SEC semifinals before Georgia

overtook the Tide winning 4-3 The women then competed as the No 8 seed in the NCAA Championship The Tide also sent three players to the NCAA singles and doubles championship

Mainz said a key aspect of her teamrsquos success last year was the dynamic between the players While the team has not played in a match together this year Mainz is confident the players will mesh as well as they have in previous years

ldquoWhat wersquove done through time is build a strong sound program where regardless of whorsquos coming in they fit into the dynamic of team playerrdquo she said ldquoVery enthusiastic good

energy they compete hard their best tennis is still in front of themrdquo

This dynamic led senior Alexa Guarachi and junior Mary Anne Mcfarlane to compete in singles at the NCAA Championship last year Gaurachi entered last yearrsquos national championship seeded No 7 for singles and has returned this year for her senior season Her experience and enthusiasm has prepared her for a great senior campaign Mainz said

Mcfarlane returns this year as an All-American and a leader Mainz said the junior has held this position each year she has played for the Tide in what is one of the most

Womenrsquos tennis team looks to start season strong

By Rebekah DyeContributing Writer

The Alabama volleyball team is off to its best start in six years after a 4-0 tournament this weekend The Tide holds a record of 10-1 heading into Tuesdayrsquos game against the Samford Bulldogs

ldquoThis is the most wins wersquove had in a preseason since Irsquove been hererdquo senior Kayla Fitterer said ldquoOur confidence is up which is really good to go into SECs Samford will be a really tough game on Tuesday leading up to itrdquo

Fitterer has been nursing a foot injury but played two of the four games from the tour-nament She is now cleared to play every game from here on out which is good news for this

Crimson Tide team This season Fitterer has posted 76 kills a 221 hitting percentage and is some-one that the team looks to head-ing into the upcoming weeks

ldquoThe main thing for us is we want her healthy as we begin SEC playrdquo head coach Ed Allen said

With Fitterer being out and the new freshmen on the team the Tide hasnrsquot been able to field a steady lineup Even so Alabama has made progress as a team and has seen potential form in its new members

ldquoConsidering how many new people we have wersquore doing pretty wellrdquo freshman outside hitter Laura Steiner said ldquoWersquove been trying a lot of things with the lineup especially with Kayla being injured and wersquove done pretty well with what wersquove got

We know things are about to get amped up over the next week with SEC actually startingrdquo

The Bulldogs had their best season last year clinching the SEC for the first time in school history with a 29-5 record This season Samford returns every starter from the championship team and added one new fresh-man middle blocker

The Bulldogs are 1-16 against Alabama all-time with the only win coming just last year and are on a four-game winning streak

ldquoSamfordrsquos a solid team that will challenge for the So-Con title as they did last year as wellrdquo Allen said ldquoJust being more consistent out of serve-receive and the momentum of being 10-1 will be important for usrdquo

Crimson Tide faces Samford in fi nal non-conference game

competitive conferences in the country

ldquoOur biggest goal is to really bond with each other and learn

about each otherrdquo Gaurachi said ldquo[Itrsquos important] because wersquore a whole new team with different strengths and weaknesses than last yearrdquo

The Tide tennis team also added freshmen Maya Jansen and Natalie Maynetto in the off-season Mainz said both players were on the courts every day and excelled in the weight room over the summer She believes both have a passion for the game and an eagerness to add to the team

ldquoMaynetto is little but shersquos fieryrdquo Mainz said ldquoShersquos tena-cious She has a little bit of South American flair to her Maya is a real athlete Shersquos raw Her best tennis is in front of herrdquo

UA AthleticsAntonia Foehse and head coach Jenny Mainz are ready for this year

Campus dining service pro-grams Bama Cash and Dining Dollars are widely used across campus for meals and late-night study snacks but they can also be a source of confu-sion for freshman and upper-classmen alike

Some students may confuse the programs or the venues that accept each but under-standing how these two pro-grams work is important so that students can learn how to best use them for their benefit

Undergraduate students enrolled in nine or more hours are part of the Dining Dollars program A fee of $300 is auto-matically charged to their stu-dent account for their fall and spring semesters

This equates to $1765 per week or $252 per day available for students to use

ldquoDining Dollars are intended to support on-campus dining needsrdquo said Kristin Hopton- Jones director of university dining services ldquoAnd [they] provide a variety of options conveniently located around campus to promote commu-nityrdquo

Dining Dollars can be used at all Bama Dining locations on campus This includes restaurants in the Ferguson Center and Lloyd Hall vend-ing machines and dining halls Buffalo Philrsquos on the Strip and Dominos also accept Dining Dollars

Businesses that are part of the Dining Dollars pro-grams are contracted through ARAMARK food services not UA Hopton-Jones said

ldquoI like the system overall because my freshman year there were late nights that I would stay up studying and it was easy for me to call Dominosrdquo Chassidy Cook a sophomore majoring in athe-letic training said ldquoI could use Dining Dollars instead of hav-ing to pay out of my pocketrdquo

In order to be considered

exempt from the Dining Dollars program a student must be married or head of their household Hopton-Jones said Head of household is defined as an individual who supports and maintains one or more individuals in a house-hold

The exemption form can be found on the Bama Dining website and support documen-tation must be provided with the form

Unused Dining Dollars roll over to Bama Cash at the end of each semester However if students do not want their din-ing dollars to roll over to the Bama Cash system they may request a refund of their din-ing dollars at the end of the spring semester

The funds will be credited to their student account under student receivables said Hopton-Jones

Cook said she wishes she had known about this refund system earlier in her career at UA She said she may have been more conscientious when spending her Dining Dollars

The request form can be found on the Bama Dining website and must be taken to the Bama Dining Office in Lakeside dining after April 15 in the spring

Bama Cash is the UA dining currency program that func-tions similar to a debit card Unlike the Dining Dollars program students are able to add funds to their Bama Cash account Then they are able to use them at over 75 off-campus locations across Tuscaloosa

ldquoBama Cash was created because community business owners wished to participate in a UA debit programrdquo Cathy Andreen UA spokeswoman said

Andreen said businesses have to apply to become Bama Cash vendors

Bama Cash is also the cur-rency system used for cop-ies and printing as well as for laundry services across campus

Dining programs offer variety of meal options

My visits to doctorsrsquo offices date back to childhood Life and illness progressed parallel to one another In my adolescent years as the entrapped patient I looked upon the world of medicine with cynicism after a chronic disease diagnosis at 12 My father and mother worked at The University of Alabama and consequently I received top notch health coverage

But in the clinic Irsquod look away when doctors sent patients to the second floor of UAB Hospitalrsquos Kirklin Clinic where the patient billing department stood solemnly awaiting those who couldnrsquot afford the costs of health maintenance that ranged from clinic visits to regular tests

When my doctors deemed transplantation the final cure-all treatment for my deteriorat-ing health I disregarded the costs of the procedure I thought treatment was my right My text-books taught me America was based in equality of opportunity Treatment was my only option to move on to go to college to live But when all was said and done I came out of UAB Hospital with a hospital bill exceeding a million dollars after a stay of nearly five months

Transplantation wouldnrsquot

have been a feasible option my senior year of high school if it werenrsquot for my extensive cover-age But even with such a fine premium my family and I stood at a crossroads for Irsquod already taxed my insurance for years with the costs of expensive medi-cation Irsquod used prior to the trans-plant I was approaching whatrsquos commonly known as an insur-ance cap an undisclosed limit when an insurance agency will stop providing coverage for an individual

As I recovered from trans-plant parts of President Obamarsquos Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act materialized An insur-ance company could no longer place lifetime dollar limits on policies Before its passage not only could my coverage be capped off without notice but if I were to leave my parentrsquos policy every insurance company would be reluctant to take me on In a purely capitalist insurance mar-ket Irsquod be a cost risk Now the law eliminates insurance compa-niesrsquo ability to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions

What many people donrsquot realize is that the pre-existing condition clause is closely tied to the individual mandate the more notorious clause of PPACA which penalizes those who do not purchase any type of coverage If the individual man-date and pre-existing clause werenrsquot in place concurrently when people became ill they would immediately purchase insurance ndash and insurance agen-cies couldnrsquot deny them cover-age because of the pre-existing clause

These reforms are necessary because for those with insur-ance bankruptcy from medical costs becomes less reality and more worst-case-scenario How could I foresee being born into this body to this family at this time I never asked for a heart that failed or lungs that choked It could happen to anyone What about my freedom from disease Paul Starr a Pulitzer-Prize win-ning Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton puts it best ldquoHealth itself is a matter of personal freedom To be ill

and debilitated is to be less free To be made destitute by sick-ness and therefore dependent on others is also to be less freerdquo

Many argue the purchase of health insurance should be a choice To them it is a matter of freedom I understand this concern but itrsquos naive to think anyone has the foresight to pre-dict disease Because of this the mandate requires everyone purchase some form of health insurance by 2014 This will prevent Americans from sink-ing into insurance funds only when they get sick Insurance is a safety net not something you buy when you get ill

I have a hard time digesting the traditional argument against the individual mandate ndash that it limits freedom ndash because of per-sonal struggles I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an approach that is less mercan-tile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in the free market based on the cost of their risk Itrsquos a heartless system that begs for reform and what we call Obamacare has done that substantially reorganiz-ing healthcare to make it more accessible and affordable for those who need it most

Obamacare provides freedom in the realm of health life

By Lucy CheseldineStaff Columnist

As I sat in the concrete theme park staring into the disappoint-ment of cheese sauce I thought I had slipped from this reality into a television show I found myself day-dreaming of the years Irsquod given over to American films which were now being played out in front of me the processed hot dogs and pretty faces

I envisaged all the crimson couples sneaking off to drive-ins breaking into the darkened stadi-um when the sun had gone down when it is vulnerable and naked not knowing what to do without players or fans to sit together and quietly caress These couples would end up in a chain restau-rant where the lights never turn off and then they would get mar-ried and have children and inhabit the suburbs silently submissing to a life of lawns and school plays

I was numb with imagination thinking of all the testosterone and beer all the chants and ritu-

als and saw it all tailing off into the night like a distant

dream The

American dream The crimson dream

This is not simply a sport but a way to live a religion and very unique I have never been to a sporting event at which the match itself bows to the demand of tele-vision stopping for commercial breaks as if we have momentari-ly suspended the life we knew before and given ourselves up to the world of billboards and dis-count furniture

Irsquoll give it to you you know how to entertain For a girl who doesnrsquot like football I never once felt bored In fact I didnrsquot know where to look -- the band the cheerleaders the spectators or the game itself Alabama has put on a performance timed to perfection How many hours of practice this takes I cannot begin to understand but in this culture of dedication to the game I can believe it

As the drunk guy behind me shouts ldquoFootball we live it Everyday of every year Three hundred and sixty-fiverdquo I think yes thatrsquos how many days are in a year and yes I do wonder at times how you can gain an education

untouched by this game in a town that runs on Saturday tailgates and the anticipation of the next match Football fuel

A real life crimson tide had drowned the town And as my still slightly drunk self stumbled through the quad on Saturday morning to find a T-shirt for the game I almost felt swept away It had the atmosphere of a circus I was wearing black and I had to get a crimson T-shirt People were everywhere and in my usual efficient fashion I chose the first mildly unobtrusive and subtle shirt I could find

With the T-shirt down I picked a solitary shaker up off the floor and I was half way to looking like I belonged there Irsquom not normally one to get caught up in things but itrsquos nearly inevitable in a town that silences all other voices except those singing the fight song

Even the political and religious junkies played their part as I saw homemade felt-tip pen enthused republican banners backing one of the tailgates professing ldquoRomneyrdquo ldquoRyanrdquo ldquoRoll Tiderdquo a tent of polo

shirts and golf memberships Every aspect of life in this town is filtered through the lens of this sport Itrsquos as if Irsquom wearing crim-son-tinted glasses a world high on football pride

I appreciate that pride can be a beautiful thing but near fear hit me as I felt that I would never see the world in real-time color again

One woman I met was frantical-ly reeling off statistics about last season She had clearly been pay-ing close attention to the teamrsquos every move and wanted to make sure I was up to scratch ldquoYou knowrdquo she said ldquosome people here in Tuscaloosa have never been to a game before so you should appreciate this opportu-nityrdquo

And I did with every part of my body and mind I indulged I flirt-ed with the game and for a while I felt like we might be getting somewhere but after walking away from the field and seeing the blue sky again I felt a small relief that it hadnrsquot turned crimson and questioned how much longer this romance could last

ldquo I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an ap-proach that is less mercantile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in

the free market based on the cost of their risk

Every student pays the same amount of money for foot-ball tickets so itrsquos not unreasonable to expect every student to follow the same rules when it comes to football seating

Unfortunately that is not the case at The University of Alabama where some student groups are given blocks of seats in the south end zone of Bryant-Denny Stadium Those seats are reserved until 45 minutes before kick-off

The blocks are so big they give benefiting orga-nizations 70 percent more seats than they need to accommodate their members mostly so men in fra-ternities can bring guests and dates Students privi-leged enough to have access to block seating donrsquot only have seats reserved for themselves but they also have seats saved for others they invite

This system is grossly unfair to women and minor-ities Sororities for instance regularly lead the greek community in grade point averages and com-munity service and could expect prime placement if they applied for block seating This year though only one sorority applied for and got block seating while 28 all-male organizations received blocks

For most greek women and most women on cam-pus access to block seating is determined entirely by who invites them to a game

Block seating is also discriminatory as the greek organizations that fill most of the section are racially segregated

This year there were some improvements in the way block seating applications were scored Instead of a student-led committee divvying up blocks appli-cations were graded by an automated system devel-oped by a third-party company Some organizations saw their seats moved further back as a result while other organizations benefited from a system that fairly evaluated their academic and service perfor-mance

Most of the credit for these improvements goes to SGA President Matt Calderone who showed lead-ership in implementing a system that removed the subjective ldquohuman elementrdquo from the application scoring process The SGA also reduced the number of student seats reserved for block seating reversing an unwise decision by UA administrators to expand block seating last season

For most students though simply rearranging organizations on a chart does nothing to address the inherent unfairness of giving select students prefer-ential treatment while others line-up hours ahead of kick-off hoping for a good seat

Gamedays are our one opportunity as a student body to present a unified face cheering the Crimson Tide to victory Once in the stadium we shouldnrsquot be separated based on our race our gender or the organizations wersquove joined

We all buy the same tickets and we are all cheer-ing for the same team We should all sit together in one student section with uniform rules for every ticketholder

While this yearrsquos block seating process was a huge improvement over years past the only way to elimi-nate the divisiveness and discrimination block seat-ing perpetuates is to get rid of it

Our View is the consensus of The Crimson White edi-torial board

Women minorities cheated by system

In short Changes to block seating donrsquot address its biggest issues

With football season in full swing now is the time to save up money for those long game day weekends and away game trips and one of the best ways to save time and cash is by making grocery lists and planning your meals ahead of time

For students looking to bet-ter their cooking at home the new app ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo is designed to facilitate mak-ing grocery lists and planning meals The app is available for free in the iTunes App store and Android Marketplace requir-ing only an email address or Facebook login to sign up

The app takes you through steps to help better organize your grocery shopping Users can select which stores they use

for shopping what food they usually purchase and choose options for gluten-free vegetar-ian and low carb

The program also compares prices of stores you select by location For example I chose to compare Target on 13th Avenue East and Publix on University Boulevard At Publix I can buy one get one for free on chicken breast Target does not have a sale on chicken breast this week

After seeing sale items at the store users can look up recipes to cook for the week The user can then see exactly what needs to be purchased facilitating the shopping process and freeing up time

Many news outlets such as Oprah Forbes and CBS 42 Birmingham have praised this

app for helping them cook great meals without slaving for hours Personally I have very limited time to plan meals each week and make a grocery list I will inevitably forget an ingredi-ent I need and have to make an additional trip back to the store however this app could save the headache and the extra effort

ldquoJoin over one million families and save up to $40 a month at more than 16000 grocery stores using this top-rated healthy meal planning and organized grocery list apprdquo reads the description from the iTunes App Store which has also received four out of five stars in ratings

For students looking to save time and money but not sacri-fice good food and taste ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo can make meal-times more of a possibility

Itrsquos 9 pm on a Wednesday night and while campus has become quiet the sound of Steppenwolfrsquos ldquoMagic Carpet Riderdquo blares from the basement of the Sigma Nu fraternity house The Doctors and the Lawyers a UA student band are warming up for a night of practice

The Doctors and the Lawyers formed in September 2011 is the product of random roommate assignments mutual friends and a ldquoLead Guitarist Wantedrdquo flyer The band members had never met prior to attending the University but lead vocalist Evan Brooks a junior majoring in marketing and management

said they share an unspoken con-nection when it comes to music

ldquoIrsquoll come with lyrics [and] have no idea what the song is going to sound like at all and theyrsquoll just jam and itrsquoll fitrdquo Brooks said

Brooks is the bandrsquos lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist and Zach Pline plays the bass Taylor Atkinson mans the piano and sings backup vocals with Chris Wilhelm another lead gui-tarist On the drums is Jordan Kumler

With influences ranging from the Avett Brothers to The Black Keys to Stevie Wonder the Doctors and the Lawyers strive to have claim to a sound thatrsquos their own

ldquoIrsquove probably seen every live

band that plays in Tuscaloosa and Irsquove never heard one that plays the same stuff as we dordquo Brooks said ldquoI feel like itrsquos pretty easy to just go out there and play your lsquoWagon Wheelrsquos and your lsquoCanrsquot You Seersquos and lsquoSweet Home Alabamarsquos ndash not to discredit those songs but you wanna hear something else now and thenrdquo

Wilhelm a junior majoring in chemical engineering said the band membersrsquo diverse musical backgrounds play a crucial role in developing their distinctive sound

ldquoWe all have our own visions our own style so wersquoll get together and wersquoll try to play a song and it will just kind of meld everything together and just

turn into something goodrdquo he said

The band had an opportunity this summer to record some of their music in a renowned studio in New York City

Gabe Menendez the bandrsquos manager showed the demo CD to his friend at KMA Studios in New York City The Doctors and the Lawyers were invited to record at the studio adding their names to a long list of the studiorsquos artists including Alicia Keys Beyonce Jay-Z and Paul Simon

Songs donrsquot always translate well in the studio though

ldquoI remember when we first recorded our original songs we tried to go down to the studio and do lsquoAll Along the Watchtowerrsquo and spent three hours on it and

just couldnrsquot get it rightrdquo Pline a junior majoring in economics said

The band members agree that when theyrsquore playing live shows their true passion for music shines through

ldquoWe always try and top our-selvesrdquo Wilhelm said ldquoWhatever song we have ndash wersquoll go do some-thing really awesome and be like ldquoThat was awesome I wonder if we can do better than thatrdquorsquo

As rewarding as being in a band can be the members find it challenging to balance the band with school and other activities

ldquoFor me the only time I have to myself I use to practicerdquo Atkinson said ldquoI mean I love doing it but I donrsquot have any time other than thatrdquo

Despite the sacrifices it takes to be musicians the band mem-bers agreed they are in it for the long haul despite pressure from family and friends to find regu-lar work in a tough economy For these five individuals music is more than a hobby they hope to someday turn it into a career

ldquoOur band name is the Doctors and the Lawyershellipbut the thing is our goal is to not turn out as doctors and lawyersrdquo Wilhelm said

The Doctors and the Lawyers hope to release their first album in mid-October For more infor-mation visit their Facebook page wwwfacebookcomTheDoctorsAndTheLawyers o r t h e i r T w i tt e r Doctors_Lawyers

The University of Alabama Recreation Center has made a new addition to their fall class schedule adding two Barre Fitness classes on Mondays and Thursdays from 330 to 420 pm

Barre Fitness an increasingly popular workout among young women is a progressive workout based on ballet barre exercises starting with smaller move-ments and progressing to larger and more involved movements throughout the class period

Jenna Reynolds a sophomore majoring in Spanish and phi-losophy said she enjoys how the class is a full-body workout

ldquoThe Barre Fitness class was a really fun twist on traditional elements of the barre combined with upbeat musicrdquo Reynolds said ldquoIt was definitely a serious

workoutrdquoWhitney Spota coordina-

tor of group exercise at the Recreation Center said the barre fitness trend was an element the Recreation Center had yet to explore in the schedule until this year

ldquoIn the fitness world you have to constantly keep up with the trends and my job is to see that we do thatrdquo Spota said

Although there are currently only two classes being offered the Rec Center is considering the possibility of adding more to the schedule for spring semester

ldquoWe want to see how well it does before we add more [class-es]rdquo Spota said ldquoWe always do a little test to see how participants respond and so far we have had a great responserdquo

Mallory Haney a graduate student studying counselor

Barre fi tness classes come to the Rec Center

education and instructor of both Barre Fitness classes said the Recreation Center has been busy since school started back and barre class attendance is picking up as well

ldquoPeople are starting to hear about the class and they are

wanting to try it outrdquo Haney said

She also said the day when the Recreation Centerrsquos general attendance was lowest since the start of the fall semester was the day that the Barre Fitness class had its highest attendance since

the class has started and she is also beginning to recognize the faces of those attending the class on a regular basis

The requests for a barre based class came flowing in after Tuscaloosa got its own Pure Barre studio on McFarland

Boulevard in August Pure Barre studio offers similar type classes with a variety of membership packages and other services available

For some students like Reynolds they are willing to try a class at Pure Barre but are more inclined to attend to class-es at the Recreation Center for variety convenience and cost

ldquoI prefer to try the Rec classes because there is such a variety of choicerdquo Reynolds said

Pure Barrersquos presence aside many think attendance to the Recreation Centerrsquos classes will continue to rise

ldquoYou canrsquot beat a free classrdquo Spota said ldquoI think a lot of our participants will stick to our classes but you canrsquot blame them for being curious and wanting to try something else You have to find a class that works for yourdquo

The University of Alabama womenrsquos tennis team is prepar-ing to begin its fall campaign with confidence from the teamrsquos suc-cess last year

The Crimson Tide saw its strongest season in school his-tory in 2012 under head coach Jenny Mainz The coach saw her ninth national championship appearance with the Tide last year and hopes her team will use the momentum and confidence from last yearrsquos success to propel it into this season

The team made it to the SEC semifinals before Georgia

overtook the Tide winning 4-3 The women then competed as the No 8 seed in the NCAA Championship The Tide also sent three players to the NCAA singles and doubles championship

Mainz said a key aspect of her teamrsquos success last year was the dynamic between the players While the team has not played in a match together this year Mainz is confident the players will mesh as well as they have in previous years

ldquoWhat wersquove done through time is build a strong sound program where regardless of whorsquos coming in they fit into the dynamic of team playerrdquo she said ldquoVery enthusiastic good

energy they compete hard their best tennis is still in front of themrdquo

This dynamic led senior Alexa Guarachi and junior Mary Anne Mcfarlane to compete in singles at the NCAA Championship last year Gaurachi entered last yearrsquos national championship seeded No 7 for singles and has returned this year for her senior season Her experience and enthusiasm has prepared her for a great senior campaign Mainz said

Mcfarlane returns this year as an All-American and a leader Mainz said the junior has held this position each year she has played for the Tide in what is one of the most

Womenrsquos tennis team looks to start season strong

By Rebekah DyeContributing Writer

The Alabama volleyball team is off to its best start in six years after a 4-0 tournament this weekend The Tide holds a record of 10-1 heading into Tuesdayrsquos game against the Samford Bulldogs

ldquoThis is the most wins wersquove had in a preseason since Irsquove been hererdquo senior Kayla Fitterer said ldquoOur confidence is up which is really good to go into SECs Samford will be a really tough game on Tuesday leading up to itrdquo

Fitterer has been nursing a foot injury but played two of the four games from the tour-nament She is now cleared to play every game from here on out which is good news for this

Crimson Tide team This season Fitterer has posted 76 kills a 221 hitting percentage and is some-one that the team looks to head-ing into the upcoming weeks

ldquoThe main thing for us is we want her healthy as we begin SEC playrdquo head coach Ed Allen said

With Fitterer being out and the new freshmen on the team the Tide hasnrsquot been able to field a steady lineup Even so Alabama has made progress as a team and has seen potential form in its new members

ldquoConsidering how many new people we have wersquore doing pretty wellrdquo freshman outside hitter Laura Steiner said ldquoWersquove been trying a lot of things with the lineup especially with Kayla being injured and wersquove done pretty well with what wersquove got

We know things are about to get amped up over the next week with SEC actually startingrdquo

The Bulldogs had their best season last year clinching the SEC for the first time in school history with a 29-5 record This season Samford returns every starter from the championship team and added one new fresh-man middle blocker

The Bulldogs are 1-16 against Alabama all-time with the only win coming just last year and are on a four-game winning streak

ldquoSamfordrsquos a solid team that will challenge for the So-Con title as they did last year as wellrdquo Allen said ldquoJust being more consistent out of serve-receive and the momentum of being 10-1 will be important for usrdquo

Crimson Tide faces Samford in fi nal non-conference game

competitive conferences in the country

ldquoOur biggest goal is to really bond with each other and learn

about each otherrdquo Gaurachi said ldquo[Itrsquos important] because wersquore a whole new team with different strengths and weaknesses than last yearrdquo

The Tide tennis team also added freshmen Maya Jansen and Natalie Maynetto in the off-season Mainz said both players were on the courts every day and excelled in the weight room over the summer She believes both have a passion for the game and an eagerness to add to the team

ldquoMaynetto is little but shersquos fieryrdquo Mainz said ldquoShersquos tena-cious She has a little bit of South American flair to her Maya is a real athlete Shersquos raw Her best tennis is in front of herrdquo

UA AthleticsAntonia Foehse and head coach Jenny Mainz are ready for this year

My visits to doctorsrsquo offices date back to childhood Life and illness progressed parallel to one another In my adolescent years as the entrapped patient I looked upon the world of medicine with cynicism after a chronic disease diagnosis at 12 My father and mother worked at The University of Alabama and consequently I received top notch health coverage

But in the clinic Irsquod look away when doctors sent patients to the second floor of UAB Hospitalrsquos Kirklin Clinic where the patient billing department stood solemnly awaiting those who couldnrsquot afford the costs of health maintenance that ranged from clinic visits to regular tests

When my doctors deemed transplantation the final cure-all treatment for my deteriorat-ing health I disregarded the costs of the procedure I thought treatment was my right My text-books taught me America was based in equality of opportunity Treatment was my only option to move on to go to college to live But when all was said and done I came out of UAB Hospital with a hospital bill exceeding a million dollars after a stay of nearly five months

Transplantation wouldnrsquot

have been a feasible option my senior year of high school if it werenrsquot for my extensive cover-age But even with such a fine premium my family and I stood at a crossroads for Irsquod already taxed my insurance for years with the costs of expensive medi-cation Irsquod used prior to the trans-plant I was approaching whatrsquos commonly known as an insur-ance cap an undisclosed limit when an insurance agency will stop providing coverage for an individual

As I recovered from trans-plant parts of President Obamarsquos Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act materialized An insur-ance company could no longer place lifetime dollar limits on policies Before its passage not only could my coverage be capped off without notice but if I were to leave my parentrsquos policy every insurance company would be reluctant to take me on In a purely capitalist insurance mar-ket Irsquod be a cost risk Now the law eliminates insurance compa-niesrsquo ability to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions

What many people donrsquot realize is that the pre-existing condition clause is closely tied to the individual mandate the more notorious clause of PPACA which penalizes those who do not purchase any type of coverage If the individual man-date and pre-existing clause werenrsquot in place concurrently when people became ill they would immediately purchase insurance ndash and insurance agen-cies couldnrsquot deny them cover-age because of the pre-existing clause

These reforms are necessary because for those with insur-ance bankruptcy from medical costs becomes less reality and more worst-case-scenario How could I foresee being born into this body to this family at this time I never asked for a heart that failed or lungs that choked It could happen to anyone What about my freedom from disease Paul Starr a Pulitzer-Prize win-ning Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton puts it best ldquoHealth itself is a matter of personal freedom To be ill

and debilitated is to be less free To be made destitute by sick-ness and therefore dependent on others is also to be less freerdquo

Many argue the purchase of health insurance should be a choice To them it is a matter of freedom I understand this concern but itrsquos naive to think anyone has the foresight to pre-dict disease Because of this the mandate requires everyone purchase some form of health insurance by 2014 This will prevent Americans from sink-ing into insurance funds only when they get sick Insurance is a safety net not something you buy when you get ill

I have a hard time digesting the traditional argument against the individual mandate ndash that it limits freedom ndash because of per-sonal struggles I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an approach that is less mercan-tile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in the free market based on the cost of their risk Itrsquos a heartless system that begs for reform and what we call Obamacare has done that substantially reorganiz-ing healthcare to make it more accessible and affordable for those who need it most

Obamacare provides freedom in the realm of health life

By Lucy CheseldineStaff Columnist

As I sat in the concrete theme park staring into the disappoint-ment of cheese sauce I thought I had slipped from this reality into a television show I found myself day-dreaming of the years Irsquod given over to American films which were now being played out in front of me the processed hot dogs and pretty faces

I envisaged all the crimson couples sneaking off to drive-ins breaking into the darkened stadi-um when the sun had gone down when it is vulnerable and naked not knowing what to do without players or fans to sit together and quietly caress These couples would end up in a chain restau-rant where the lights never turn off and then they would get mar-ried and have children and inhabit the suburbs silently submissing to a life of lawns and school plays

I was numb with imagination thinking of all the testosterone and beer all the chants and ritu-

als and saw it all tailing off into the night like a distant

dream The

American dream The crimson dream

This is not simply a sport but a way to live a religion and very unique I have never been to a sporting event at which the match itself bows to the demand of tele-vision stopping for commercial breaks as if we have momentari-ly suspended the life we knew before and given ourselves up to the world of billboards and dis-count furniture

Irsquoll give it to you you know how to entertain For a girl who doesnrsquot like football I never once felt bored In fact I didnrsquot know where to look -- the band the cheerleaders the spectators or the game itself Alabama has put on a performance timed to perfection How many hours of practice this takes I cannot begin to understand but in this culture of dedication to the game I can believe it

As the drunk guy behind me shouts ldquoFootball we live it Everyday of every year Three hundred and sixty-fiverdquo I think yes thatrsquos how many days are in a year and yes I do wonder at times how you can gain an education

untouched by this game in a town that runs on Saturday tailgates and the anticipation of the next match Football fuel

A real life crimson tide had drowned the town And as my still slightly drunk self stumbled through the quad on Saturday morning to find a T-shirt for the game I almost felt swept away It had the atmosphere of a circus I was wearing black and I had to get a crimson T-shirt People were everywhere and in my usual efficient fashion I chose the first mildly unobtrusive and subtle shirt I could find

With the T-shirt down I picked a solitary shaker up off the floor and I was half way to looking like I belonged there Irsquom not normally one to get caught up in things but itrsquos nearly inevitable in a town that silences all other voices except those singing the fight song

Even the political and religious junkies played their part as I saw homemade felt-tip pen enthused republican banners backing one of the tailgates professing ldquoRomneyrdquo ldquoRyanrdquo ldquoRoll Tiderdquo a tent of polo

shirts and golf memberships Every aspect of life in this town is filtered through the lens of this sport Itrsquos as if Irsquom wearing crim-son-tinted glasses a world high on football pride

I appreciate that pride can be a beautiful thing but near fear hit me as I felt that I would never see the world in real-time color again

One woman I met was frantical-ly reeling off statistics about last season She had clearly been pay-ing close attention to the teamrsquos every move and wanted to make sure I was up to scratch ldquoYou knowrdquo she said ldquosome people here in Tuscaloosa have never been to a game before so you should appreciate this opportu-nityrdquo

And I did with every part of my body and mind I indulged I flirt-ed with the game and for a while I felt like we might be getting somewhere but after walking away from the field and seeing the blue sky again I felt a small relief that it hadnrsquot turned crimson and questioned how much longer this romance could last

ldquo I am usually a proponent of the free market but I think healthcare requires an ap-proach that is less mercantile Patients arenrsquot commercial products that compete in

the free market based on the cost of their risk

Every student pays the same amount of money for foot-ball tickets so itrsquos not unreasonable to expect every student to follow the same rules when it comes to football seating

Unfortunately that is not the case at The University of Alabama where some student groups are given blocks of seats in the south end zone of Bryant-Denny Stadium Those seats are reserved until 45 minutes before kick-off

The blocks are so big they give benefiting orga-nizations 70 percent more seats than they need to accommodate their members mostly so men in fra-ternities can bring guests and dates Students privi-leged enough to have access to block seating donrsquot only have seats reserved for themselves but they also have seats saved for others they invite

This system is grossly unfair to women and minor-ities Sororities for instance regularly lead the greek community in grade point averages and com-munity service and could expect prime placement if they applied for block seating This year though only one sorority applied for and got block seating while 28 all-male organizations received blocks

For most greek women and most women on cam-pus access to block seating is determined entirely by who invites them to a game

Block seating is also discriminatory as the greek organizations that fill most of the section are racially segregated

This year there were some improvements in the way block seating applications were scored Instead of a student-led committee divvying up blocks appli-cations were graded by an automated system devel-oped by a third-party company Some organizations saw their seats moved further back as a result while other organizations benefited from a system that fairly evaluated their academic and service perfor-mance

Most of the credit for these improvements goes to SGA President Matt Calderone who showed lead-ership in implementing a system that removed the subjective ldquohuman elementrdquo from the application scoring process The SGA also reduced the number of student seats reserved for block seating reversing an unwise decision by UA administrators to expand block seating last season

For most students though simply rearranging organizations on a chart does nothing to address the inherent unfairness of giving select students prefer-ential treatment while others line-up hours ahead of kick-off hoping for a good seat

Gamedays are our one opportunity as a student body to present a unified face cheering the Crimson Tide to victory Once in the stadium we shouldnrsquot be separated based on our race our gender or the organizations wersquove joined

We all buy the same tickets and we are all cheer-ing for the same team We should all sit together in one student section with uniform rules for every ticketholder

While this yearrsquos block seating process was a huge improvement over years past the only way to elimi-nate the divisiveness and discrimination block seat-ing perpetuates is to get rid of it

Our View is the consensus of The Crimson White edi-torial board

Women minorities cheated by system

In short Changes to block seating donrsquot address its biggest issues

With football season in full swing now is the time to save up money for those long game day weekends and away game trips and one of the best ways to save time and cash is by making grocery lists and planning your meals ahead of time

For students looking to bet-ter their cooking at home the new app ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo is designed to facilitate mak-ing grocery lists and planning meals The app is available for free in the iTunes App store and Android Marketplace requir-ing only an email address or Facebook login to sign up

The app takes you through steps to help better organize your grocery shopping Users can select which stores they use

for shopping what food they usually purchase and choose options for gluten-free vegetar-ian and low carb

The program also compares prices of stores you select by location For example I chose to compare Target on 13th Avenue East and Publix on University Boulevard At Publix I can buy one get one for free on chicken breast Target does not have a sale on chicken breast this week

After seeing sale items at the store users can look up recipes to cook for the week The user can then see exactly what needs to be purchased facilitating the shopping process and freeing up time

Many news outlets such as Oprah Forbes and CBS 42 Birmingham have praised this

app for helping them cook great meals without slaving for hours Personally I have very limited time to plan meals each week and make a grocery list I will inevitably forget an ingredi-ent I need and have to make an additional trip back to the store however this app could save the headache and the extra effort

ldquoJoin over one million families and save up to $40 a month at more than 16000 grocery stores using this top-rated healthy meal planning and organized grocery list apprdquo reads the description from the iTunes App Store which has also received four out of five stars in ratings

For students looking to save time and money but not sacri-fice good food and taste ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo can make meal-times more of a possibility

Itrsquos 9 pm on a Wednesday night and while campus has become quiet the sound of Steppenwolfrsquos ldquoMagic Carpet Riderdquo blares from the basement of the Sigma Nu fraternity house The Doctors and the Lawyers a UA student band are warming up for a night of practice

The Doctors and the Lawyers formed in September 2011 is the product of random roommate assignments mutual friends and a ldquoLead Guitarist Wantedrdquo flyer The band members had never met prior to attending the University but lead vocalist Evan Brooks a junior majoring in marketing and management

said they share an unspoken con-nection when it comes to music

ldquoIrsquoll come with lyrics [and] have no idea what the song is going to sound like at all and theyrsquoll just jam and itrsquoll fitrdquo Brooks said

Brooks is the bandrsquos lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist and Zach Pline plays the bass Taylor Atkinson mans the piano and sings backup vocals with Chris Wilhelm another lead gui-tarist On the drums is Jordan Kumler

With influences ranging from the Avett Brothers to The Black Keys to Stevie Wonder the Doctors and the Lawyers strive to have claim to a sound thatrsquos their own

ldquoIrsquove probably seen every live

band that plays in Tuscaloosa and Irsquove never heard one that plays the same stuff as we dordquo Brooks said ldquoI feel like itrsquos pretty easy to just go out there and play your lsquoWagon Wheelrsquos and your lsquoCanrsquot You Seersquos and lsquoSweet Home Alabamarsquos ndash not to discredit those songs but you wanna hear something else now and thenrdquo

Wilhelm a junior majoring in chemical engineering said the band membersrsquo diverse musical backgrounds play a crucial role in developing their distinctive sound

ldquoWe all have our own visions our own style so wersquoll get together and wersquoll try to play a song and it will just kind of meld everything together and just

turn into something goodrdquo he said

The band had an opportunity this summer to record some of their music in a renowned studio in New York City

Gabe Menendez the bandrsquos manager showed the demo CD to his friend at KMA Studios in New York City The Doctors and the Lawyers were invited to record at the studio adding their names to a long list of the studiorsquos artists including Alicia Keys Beyonce Jay-Z and Paul Simon

Songs donrsquot always translate well in the studio though

ldquoI remember when we first recorded our original songs we tried to go down to the studio and do lsquoAll Along the Watchtowerrsquo and spent three hours on it and

just couldnrsquot get it rightrdquo Pline a junior majoring in economics said

The band members agree that when theyrsquore playing live shows their true passion for music shines through

ldquoWe always try and top our-selvesrdquo Wilhelm said ldquoWhatever song we have ndash wersquoll go do some-thing really awesome and be like ldquoThat was awesome I wonder if we can do better than thatrdquorsquo

As rewarding as being in a band can be the members find it challenging to balance the band with school and other activities

ldquoFor me the only time I have to myself I use to practicerdquo Atkinson said ldquoI mean I love doing it but I donrsquot have any time other than thatrdquo

Despite the sacrifices it takes to be musicians the band mem-bers agreed they are in it for the long haul despite pressure from family and friends to find regu-lar work in a tough economy For these five individuals music is more than a hobby they hope to someday turn it into a career

ldquoOur band name is the Doctors and the Lawyershellipbut the thing is our goal is to not turn out as doctors and lawyersrdquo Wilhelm said

The Doctors and the Lawyers hope to release their first album in mid-October For more infor-mation visit their Facebook page wwwfacebookcomTheDoctorsAndTheLawyers o r t h e i r T w i tt e r Doctors_Lawyers

The University of Alabama Recreation Center has made a new addition to their fall class schedule adding two Barre Fitness classes on Mondays and Thursdays from 330 to 420 pm

Barre Fitness an increasingly popular workout among young women is a progressive workout based on ballet barre exercises starting with smaller move-ments and progressing to larger and more involved movements throughout the class period

Jenna Reynolds a sophomore majoring in Spanish and phi-losophy said she enjoys how the class is a full-body workout

ldquoThe Barre Fitness class was a really fun twist on traditional elements of the barre combined with upbeat musicrdquo Reynolds said ldquoIt was definitely a serious

workoutrdquoWhitney Spota coordina-

tor of group exercise at the Recreation Center said the barre fitness trend was an element the Recreation Center had yet to explore in the schedule until this year

ldquoIn the fitness world you have to constantly keep up with the trends and my job is to see that we do thatrdquo Spota said

Although there are currently only two classes being offered the Rec Center is considering the possibility of adding more to the schedule for spring semester

ldquoWe want to see how well it does before we add more [class-es]rdquo Spota said ldquoWe always do a little test to see how participants respond and so far we have had a great responserdquo

Mallory Haney a graduate student studying counselor

Barre fi tness classes come to the Rec Center

education and instructor of both Barre Fitness classes said the Recreation Center has been busy since school started back and barre class attendance is picking up as well

ldquoPeople are starting to hear about the class and they are

wanting to try it outrdquo Haney said

She also said the day when the Recreation Centerrsquos general attendance was lowest since the start of the fall semester was the day that the Barre Fitness class had its highest attendance since

the class has started and she is also beginning to recognize the faces of those attending the class on a regular basis

The requests for a barre based class came flowing in after Tuscaloosa got its own Pure Barre studio on McFarland

Boulevard in August Pure Barre studio offers similar type classes with a variety of membership packages and other services available

For some students like Reynolds they are willing to try a class at Pure Barre but are more inclined to attend to class-es at the Recreation Center for variety convenience and cost

ldquoI prefer to try the Rec classes because there is such a variety of choicerdquo Reynolds said

Pure Barrersquos presence aside many think attendance to the Recreation Centerrsquos classes will continue to rise

ldquoYou canrsquot beat a free classrdquo Spota said ldquoI think a lot of our participants will stick to our classes but you canrsquot blame them for being curious and wanting to try something else You have to find a class that works for yourdquo

The team made it to the SEC semifinals before Georgia

overtook the Tide winning 4-3 The women then competed as the No 8 seed in the NCAA Championship The Tide also sent three players to the NCAA singles and doubles championship

Mainz said a key aspect of her teamrsquos success last year was the dynamic between the players While the team has not played in a match together this year Mainz is confident the players will mesh as well as they have in previous years

ldquoWhat wersquove done through time is build a strong sound program where regardless of whorsquos coming in they fit into the dynamic of team playerrdquo she said ldquoVery enthusiastic good

energy they compete hard their best tennis is still in front of themrdquo

This dynamic led senior Alexa Guarachi and junior Mary Anne Mcfarlane to compete in singles at the NCAA Championship last year Gaurachi entered last yearrsquos national championship seeded No 7 for singles and has returned this year for her senior season Her experience and enthusiasm has prepared her for a great senior campaign Mainz said

Mcfarlane returns this year as an All-American and a leader Mainz said the junior has held this position each year she has played for the Tide in what is one of the most

ldquoThis is the most wins wersquove had in a preseason since Irsquove been hererdquo senior Kayla Fitterer said ldquoOur confidence is up which is really good to go into SECs Samford will be a really tough game on Tuesday leading up to itrdquo

Fitterer has been nursing a foot injury but played two of the four games from the tour-nament She is now cleared to play every game from here on out which is good news for this

Crimson Tide team This season Fitterer has posted 76 kills a 221 hitting percentage and is some-one that the team looks to head-ing into the upcoming weeks

ldquoThe main thing for us is we want her healthy as we begin SEC playrdquo head coach Ed Allen said

With Fitterer being out and the new freshmen on the team the Tide hasnrsquot been able to field a steady lineup Even so Alabama has made progress as a team and has seen potential form in its new members

ldquoConsidering how many new people we have wersquore doing pretty wellrdquo freshman outside hitter Laura Steiner said ldquoWersquove been trying a lot of things with the lineup especially with Kayla being injured and wersquove done pretty well with what wersquove got

We know things are about to get amped up over the next week with SEC actually startingrdquo

The Bulldogs had their best season last year clinching the SEC for the first time in school history with a 29-5 record This season Samford returns every starter from the championship team and added one new fresh-man middle blocker

The Bulldogs are 1-16 against Alabama all-time with the only win coming just last year and are on a four-game winning streak

ldquoSamfordrsquos a solid team that will challenge for the So-Con title as they did last year as wellrdquo Allen said ldquoJust being more consistent out of serve-receive and the momentum of being 10-1 will be important for usrdquo

With football season in full swing now is the time to save up money for those long game day weekends and away game trips and one of the best ways to save time and cash is by making grocery lists and planning your meals ahead of time

For students looking to bet-ter their cooking at home the new app ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo is designed to facilitate mak-ing grocery lists and planning meals The app is available for free in the iTunes App store and Android Marketplace requir-ing only an email address or Facebook login to sign up

The app takes you through steps to help better organize your grocery shopping Users can select which stores they use

for shopping what food they usually purchase and choose options for gluten-free vegetar-ian and low carb

The program also compares prices of stores you select by location For example I chose to compare Target on 13th Avenue East and Publix on University Boulevard At Publix I can buy one get one for free on chicken breast Target does not have a sale on chicken breast this week

After seeing sale items at the store users can look up recipes to cook for the week The user can then see exactly what needs to be purchased facilitating the shopping process and freeing up time

Many news outlets such as Oprah Forbes and CBS 42 Birmingham have praised this

app for helping them cook great meals without slaving for hours Personally I have very limited time to plan meals each week and make a grocery list I will inevitably forget an ingredi-ent I need and have to make an additional trip back to the store however this app could save the headache and the extra effort

ldquoJoin over one million families and save up to $40 a month at more than 16000 grocery stores using this top-rated healthy meal planning and organized grocery list apprdquo reads the description from the iTunes App Store which has also received four out of five stars in ratings

For students looking to save time and money but not sacri-fice good food and taste ldquoFood on the Tablerdquo can make meal-times more of a possibility

Itrsquos 9 pm on a Wednesday night and while campus has become quiet the sound of Steppenwolfrsquos ldquoMagic Carpet Riderdquo blares from the basement of the Sigma Nu fraternity house The Doctors and the Lawyers a UA student band are warming up for a night of practice

The Doctors and the Lawyers formed in September 2011 is the product of random roommate assignments mutual friends and a ldquoLead Guitarist Wantedrdquo flyer The band members had never met prior to attending the University but lead vocalist Evan Brooks a junior majoring in marketing and management

said they share an unspoken con-nection when it comes to music

ldquoIrsquoll come with lyrics [and] have no idea what the song is going to sound like at all and theyrsquoll just jam and itrsquoll fitrdquo Brooks said

Brooks is the bandrsquos lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist and Zach Pline plays the bass Taylor Atkinson mans the piano and sings backup vocals with Chris Wilhelm another lead gui-tarist On the drums is Jordan Kumler

With influences ranging from the Avett Brothers to The Black Keys to Stevie Wonder the Doctors and the Lawyers strive to have claim to a sound thatrsquos their own

ldquoIrsquove probably seen every live

band that plays in Tuscaloosa and Irsquove never heard one that plays the same stuff as we dordquo Brooks said ldquoI feel like itrsquos pretty easy to just go out there and play your lsquoWagon Wheelrsquos and your lsquoCanrsquot You Seersquos and lsquoSweet Home Alabamarsquos ndash not to discredit those songs but you wanna hear something else now and thenrdquo

Wilhelm a junior majoring in chemical engineering said the band membersrsquo diverse musical backgrounds play a crucial role in developing their distinctive sound

ldquoWe all have our own visions our own style so wersquoll get together and wersquoll try to play a song and it will just kind of meld everything together and just

turn into something goodrdquo he said

The band had an opportunity this summer to record some of their music in a renowned studio in New York City

Gabe Menendez the bandrsquos manager showed the demo CD to his friend at KMA Studios in New York City The Doctors and the Lawyers were invited to record at the studio adding their names to a long list of the studiorsquos artists including Alicia Keys Beyonce Jay-Z and Paul Simon

Songs donrsquot always translate well in the studio though

ldquoI remember when we first recorded our original songs we tried to go down to the studio and do lsquoAll Along the Watchtowerrsquo and spent three hours on it and

just couldnrsquot get it rightrdquo Pline a junior majoring in economics said

The band members agree that when theyrsquore playing live shows their true passion for music shines through

ldquoWe always try and top our-selvesrdquo Wilhelm said ldquoWhatever song we have ndash wersquoll go do some-thing really awesome and be like ldquoThat was awesome I wonder if we can do better than thatrdquorsquo

As rewarding as being in a band can be the members find it challenging to balance the band with school and other activities

ldquoFor me the only time I have to myself I use to practicerdquo Atkinson said ldquoI mean I love doing it but I donrsquot have any time other than thatrdquo

Despite the sacrifices it takes to be musicians the band mem-bers agreed they are in it for the long haul despite pressure from family and friends to find regu-lar work in a tough economy For these five individuals music is more than a hobby they hope to someday turn it into a career

ldquoOur band name is the Doctors and the Lawyershellipbut the thing is our goal is to not turn out as doctors and lawyersrdquo Wilhelm said

The Doctors and the Lawyers hope to release their first album in mid-October For more infor-mation visit their Facebook page wwwfacebookcomTheDoctorsAndTheLawyers o r t h e i r T w i tt e r Doctors_Lawyers

The University of Alabama Recreation Center has made a new addition to their fall class schedule adding two Barre Fitness classes on Mondays and Thursdays from 330 to 420 pm

Barre Fitness an increasingly popular workout among young women is a progressive workout based on ballet barre exercises starting with smaller move-ments and progressing to larger and more involved movements throughout the class period

Jenna Reynolds a sophomore majoring in Spanish and phi-losophy said she enjoys how the class is a full-body workout

ldquoThe Barre Fitness class was a really fun twist on traditional elements of the barre combined with upbeat musicrdquo Reynolds said ldquoIt was definitely a serious

workoutrdquoWhitney Spota coordina-

tor of group exercise at the Recreation Center said the barre fitness trend was an element the Recreation Center had yet to explore in the schedule until this year

ldquoIn the fitness world you have to constantly keep up with the trends and my job is to see that we do thatrdquo Spota said

Although there are currently only two classes being offered the Rec Center is considering the possibility of adding more to the schedule for spring semester

ldquoWe want to see how well it does before we add more [class-es]rdquo Spota said ldquoWe always do a little test to see how participants respond and so far we have had a great responserdquo

Mallory Haney a graduate student studying counselor

Barre fi tness classes come to the Rec Center

education and instructor of both Barre Fitness classes said the Recreation Center has been busy since school started back and barre class attendance is picking up as well

ldquoPeople are starting to hear about the class and they are

wanting to try it outrdquo Haney said

She also said the day when the Recreation Centerrsquos general attendance was lowest since the start of the fall semester was the day that the Barre Fitness class had its highest attendance since

the class has started and she is also beginning to recognize the faces of those attending the class on a regular basis

The requests for a barre based class came flowing in after Tuscaloosa got its own Pure Barre studio on McFarland

Boulevard in August Pure Barre studio offers similar type classes with a variety of membership packages and other services available

For some students like Reynolds they are willing to try a class at Pure Barre but are more inclined to attend to class-es at the Recreation Center for variety convenience and cost

ldquoI prefer to try the Rec classes because there is such a variety of choicerdquo Reynolds said

Pure Barrersquos presence aside many think attendance to the Recreation Centerrsquos classes will continue to rise

ldquoYou canrsquot beat a free classrdquo Spota said ldquoI think a lot of our participants will stick to our classes but you canrsquot blame them for being curious and wanting to try something else You have to find a class that works for yourdquo

For some students like Reynolds they are willing to try a class at Pure Barre but are more inclined to attend to class-es at the Recreation Center for variety convenience and cost

ldquoI prefer to try the Rec classes because there is such a variety of choicerdquo Reynolds said

Pure Barrersquos presence aside many think attendance to the Recreation Centerrsquos classes will continue to rise

ldquoYou canrsquot beat a free classrdquo Spota said ldquoI think a lot of our participants will stick to our classes but you canrsquot blame them for being curious and wanting to try something else You have to find a class that works for yourdquo

The University of Alabama womenrsquos tennis team is prepar-ing to begin its fall campaign with confidence from the teamrsquos suc-cess last year

The Crimson Tide saw its strongest season in school his-tory in 2012 under head coach Jenny Mainz The coach saw her ninth national championship appearance with the Tide last year and hopes her team will use the momentum and confidence from last yearrsquos success to propel it into this season

The team made it to the SEC semifinals before Georgia

overtook the Tide winning 4-3 The women then competed as the No 8 seed in the NCAA Championship The Tide also sent three players to the NCAA singles and doubles championship

Mainz said a key aspect of her teamrsquos success last year was the dynamic between the players While the team has not played in a match together this year Mainz is confident the players will mesh as well as they have in previous years

ldquoWhat wersquove done through time is build a strong sound program where regardless of whorsquos coming in they fit into the dynamic of team playerrdquo she said ldquoVery enthusiastic good

energy they compete hard their best tennis is still in front of themrdquo

This dynamic led senior Alexa Guarachi and junior Mary Anne Mcfarlane to compete in singles at the NCAA Championship last year Gaurachi entered last yearrsquos national championship seeded No 7 for singles and has returned this year for her senior season Her experience and enthusiasm has prepared her for a great senior campaign Mainz said

Mcfarlane returns this year as an All-American and a leader Mainz said the junior has held this position each year she has played for the Tide in what is one of the most

Womenrsquos tennis team looks to start season strong

By Rebekah DyeContributing Writer

The Alabama volleyball team is off to its best start in six years after a 4-0 tournament this weekend The Tide holds a record of 10-1 heading into Tuesdayrsquos game against the Samford Bulldogs

ldquoThis is the most wins wersquove had in a preseason since Irsquove been hererdquo senior Kayla Fitterer said ldquoOur confidence is up which is really good to go into SECs Samford will be a really tough game on Tuesday leading up to itrdquo

Fitterer has been nursing a foot injury but played two of the four games from the tour-nament She is now cleared to play every game from here on out which is good news for this

Crimson Tide team This season Fitterer has posted 76 kills a 221 hitting percentage and is some-one that the team looks to head-ing into the upcoming weeks

ldquoThe main thing for us is we want her healthy as we begin SEC playrdquo head coach Ed Allen said

With Fitterer being out and the new freshmen on the team the Tide hasnrsquot been able to field a steady lineup Even so Alabama has made progress as a team and has seen potential form in its new members

ldquoConsidering how many new people we have wersquore doing pretty wellrdquo freshman outside hitter Laura Steiner said ldquoWersquove been trying a lot of things with the lineup especially with Kayla being injured and wersquove done pretty well with what wersquove got

We know things are about to get amped up over the next week with SEC actually startingrdquo

The Bulldogs had their best season last year clinching the SEC for the first time in school history with a 29-5 record This season Samford returns every starter from the championship team and added one new fresh-man middle blocker

The Bulldogs are 1-16 against Alabama all-time with the only win coming just last year and are on a four-game winning streak

ldquoSamfordrsquos a solid team that will challenge for the So-Con title as they did last year as wellrdquo Allen said ldquoJust being more consistent out of serve-receive and the momentum of being 10-1 will be important for usrdquo

Crimson Tide faces Samford in fi nal non-conference game

competitive conferences in the country

ldquoOur biggest goal is to really bond with each other and learn

about each otherrdquo Gaurachi said ldquo[Itrsquos important] because wersquore a whole new team with different strengths and weaknesses than last yearrdquo

The Tide tennis team also added freshmen Maya Jansen and Natalie Maynetto in the off-season Mainz said both players were on the courts every day and excelled in the weight room over the summer She believes both have a passion for the game and an eagerness to add to the team

ldquoMaynetto is little but shersquos fieryrdquo Mainz said ldquoShersquos tena-cious She has a little bit of South American flair to her Maya is a real athlete Shersquos raw Her best tennis is in front of herrdquo
