The University of West Alabama has seen many changes through-out its 175 years of existence, which have established countless memo-ries for many who have walked the Livingston campus to reflect on and share. Our student newspaper has been there to capture them all.

In the 1800s, The Well of Livingston and six courageous female editors began that journey of recording those memories. Two of them, Mamie Bullock and Mary Debardel-ebren, were a part of the historic 10 students from our university who eventually became the first female students admitted at the University of Alabama.

Soon afterwards came the eras of Campus Lights and Livingston Life. Through the completion of campus buildings that stand today,

the Webb Hall fires, our football team winning their first and only national championship, and many other mo-ments, both newspapers were there to report it.

Our student newspaper has had its share of bumps in the road, but one can never take away the tremendous effort people have put in to make it a success over the years.

When Dr. David Taylor, current Provost of UWA, arrived on campus in 1977, he worked hard to establish the university’s first journalism minor. Taylor also changed the policy of how the editor was elected. He believed that the editor should have a true interest in journalism and not be elected by the student body.

“I worked to ensure that the editor was appointed by the advisor with the approval of what was then known as the Student Publications Committee. Also, I brought production of the newspaper in house so that we could publish on a weekly basis. However, that meant we had to sacrifice the tabloid size and the traditional news-print,” Taylor explained.

He added, “Typesetting was done on what was essen-tially a souped-up typewriter that could justify right. Later, in cooperation with UWA Printing, we acquired a Vari-type terminal, and type was set on a ten-inch disk. Copy was produced through chemical processing, waxed and stripped in on a light table. This was a long and difficult process, but the staff members worked into the wee hours of the morning to complete each edition.”

Former Life editor Joe Musso took over as advisor after Taylor’s departure. Lisa Tanner, current UWA online pro-gram advisor, served on the staff during Musso’s tenure as advisor.

She remembers, “It was a blast! I think we had maybe five people on staff. Joe and I would stay up all night, lit-erally, and put the paper together on an older version of a PageMaker program. There were several times when I

would finish the paper and go straight down to my morn-ing class. Those were the rough days, but I loved writing and working on the paper.”

In January of 1997, Dr. Tina Jones took over as advisor of what was then known as simply The Life. Like Musso, Jones had previously served as editor of the Livingston Life. Ironically, Musso was the advisor during her tenure on staff.

Under the guidance of Jones, the paper went from being waxed and stripped to being designed on Page-Maker and then on Adobe InDesign, which we currently use today. The UWA student newspaper also went from being printed on campus to off campus printing.

Jones says that it always made her feel great to see staff members working hard to meet deadlines and see-ing the effort put in to get the paper completed in time for press. She especially loved receiving emails of praise about various stories and informing the respective staff member who wrote the article.

When Greg Jones, UWA instructor of Language and Literature, took over as advisor in the summer of 2010, it was clear a new era was about to begin within the UWA student newspaper.

As you picked up this first issue of muse, more than likely curiosity got the best of you. It’s a great thing that you did. From this page on lies content that the previ-ously mentioned newspapers didn’t have, such as music, movie and book reviews, more feature stories, technol-

ogy, classifieds, entertain-ment, and more. The biggest and most noticeable change is that we have moved to full color for the first time ever.

However, there are certain

things that won’t ever be taken away. That is the hard work many past staff members and advisors gave to help us reach this very mo-ment.

“I think the format and content of the student newspaper is bold, creative and appropriate. Technology has changed the manner in which we access information. The redesign to The Life to resemble a webpage makes it more inviting and ac-cessible to the reader,” Taylor said. “During my tenure as advisor, I was privileged to work with a number of UWA’s most outstanding students. Most of them have gone on to highly successful careers as professional journalists, college professors, lawyers, missionaries, playwrights.”

Tanner added, “The nostalgic side of me is saddened by the change. However, I do realize it is time for an update. The paper is here for the students, and I know that the students will LOVE the new color and content that is coming out with muse. I have seen the samples, and they are terrific. It is exciting, and I look forward to reading it.”

Jones cited she believes it is a time of progressing, and the media itself has to fit needs.

We have heard the complaints and seen the interest in our newspaper gradually drop. The various changes found in this issue hopefully will revive the interest of all. Each week, everyone can expect this and more.

Financing long-term land investment for up to 30 years.First South – the Land Experts.

Whether it’s the addition of new students, a newly constructed on/off campus establish-ment, renovations to current campus facili-ties, varsity athletics, or intermurals, the University of West Ala-bama offers with new and exciting experi-ences every year.

The fall of 2011 will mark another mile-stone in our university’s continuous growth. Fifty students, who are currently attending their second year of Accounting and Fi-nance classes at the Guangdong Universi-ty of Finance in Guangzhou, China, will be enrolling at UWA to finish their education.

Dr. Richard Holland, UWA President,; Dr. Ken Tucker, Dean of the UWA College of Business,; and John Key, UWA Interna-tional Programs Direc-tor, are working with the government officials and universities in China and several other countries to get similar agreements so our university’s Inter-national Program can be expanded.

These agreements will bring students from around the world to our campus. The International Program is also working to give UWA an oppor-tunity to send exchange students and even send exchange facility to uni-versities in other countries.

Key said, “We will be setting up host families for our Chinese students. This will insure that they are included in home activities. We will also set up events so that they will be able to experience American culture and share their culture with UWA students. We will begin offering off cam-pus trips to explore our Black Belt Region and throughout Alabama for any inter-ested student to enjoy for a very minimal cost.”

A second class of 100 students, also from Guangdong University of Finance, is preparing to attend UWA in the fall of 2012. Another class is being recruited from Dalian University of Technology in Dalian, China. Four other Chinese Universities have expressed interest in wanting to join the UWA International Program as well.

Key explained, “We are working with Mexico, Malaysia and South Korea. These countries may offer exchange programs. UWA currently has 30 foreign students who enrolled this fall. All are in the sports programs.”

Since February of 2010, Key has been the Director of the UWA International Programs Department. Key, his wife, Dawn, and their two daughters, Abby and Addison, moved here from Troy, Alabama, where John managed the family farm and hunting lands.

Key was instrumental in working with

several Alabama Universities to expand and broaden their student opportunities while working with the Alabama Depart-ment of Agriculture and Industries for six years.

During his tenure there, Key served as the director of the International Trade and Market Development Program. This pro-gram assisted in trade agreements with Alabama companies and foreign markets. He arranged 28 international trade mis-sions to 14 foreign countries.

He also helped to get a $69,000 Line Item in the 2010/2011 State Education Budget to assist in the creation of the International Program. The program has also received a $57,000 grant through the Community Services Grant System, thanks to Dr. Robert Bentley.

This new venture for our university works to oversee and expand partnerships with other educational institutions.

“We are currently working on the logis-tics for housing, meal plans and general living arrange-ments for the first group of students. Then we will expand on these arrange-ments as our enrollment increases,” Key explains.

He added, “UWA has acquired the old Kelly Land Hester House on Highway 28 just north of the Moon House. We are renovating this house to use as a gath-ering place and offices for the International Program and Honors Program. This will give our International Students and Honors stu-

dents an opportunity to get to know each other and hang out. When the renova-tions are finished, this historic home will be renamed The International-Honors House.”

The Honors Program has been an impor-tant part of the UWA experience for many years. Dr. Lesa Shaul, Director of the UWA Honors Program, referenced President John F. Kennedy famous line “The rising tide lifts all boats” when she said, “If the Honors Program is made better each year then UWA is also better.”

Dr. Shaul returned to UWA in the fall of 2008 and began her work with the Honors Program. She began teaching literature classes.

“Dr. Holland wanted to enhance the Honors Program, so I have worked to do just that. Each year, we begin by wooing the high school seniors who are interested in UWA. We always recruit bright, young students. Frontloading the program is easy, retention is our weakness. But reten-tion is vital to our program. We must find ways to keep them motivated and inter-ested,” Shaul explained.

The mission of the UWA Honors Program is the following:

· To provide an academically enriched and intellectually challenging curriculum for students with exceptional academic talents.

The UWA Police Department began implementing the rules and regulations set forth by the UWA Parking and Traffic Committee earlier this year, and, as the semester pro-gresses, more new policies will come into play.

The most recent development is the adoption of a new ticketing system and fee schedule for violations. With the exception of illegally parking in handicapped zones (which carries a fine of $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second, and revocation of campus driving privileges for the third), each of the other violations, including parking in the wrong zone, no hang tag, and improper parking, will now have an escalat-ing scale of $25 for the first offense, $50 for the second, and $75 for the third. Three violations of any kind during one semester may result in your parking privileges being suspended.

Bicycle registration has also been implemented. Each bicycle used on campus must be registered. Although there is no registration fee, this will provide valuable informa-tion in the unfortunate event that your bike is stolen. You will be given a bicycle decal upon registering your bicycle. Bicycles secured in doorways or on stairwells will be impounded and owners will be assessed a $25 fine. This also includes bikes secured to trees, shrubbery or signage. New bike racks will be installed throughout campus within the next few weeks.

Vehicle hang tags are still available in the UWA Police Department, located in the Old Armory. Tickets written for having no hang tag will not be forgiven after purchasing one, so in the event that you wait until receiving a ticket you will be required to pay both the hang tag fee and the ticket itself.

Students with red hang tags should note that their vehicles should remain parked in dormitory parking lots or in the cafeteria parking lot during the day. From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., cars with red hang tags are not allowed in the Bibb Graves, Foust, Wallace, Library, Pruitt, or Webb parking lots. There will not be an appeal for these tickets. Per-mission may be granted to those students with special projects for class but they must contact the UWA Police Department before parking in these areas.

Ticket appeals are now based on a form system. Forms can be obtained by email-ing [email protected], or by visiting the Campus Police office. Please note that the following reasons are NOT acceptable grounds for dismissing a parking or traffic citation:

Lack of knowledge of the Traffic and Parking Regulations;• Inability to find a proper parking space/no parking space available;• Inclement weather;• Late for class;• No permit displayed/failure to obtain proper permit;• Permit used by another person/operation of the vehicle by another person;• Failure of officers to ticket previously for similar offense;• Disagreement with the Traffic and Parking Regulations.•

The Police Department asks that all students—especially those living in Reed Apart-ments—be patient with the current parking situation. The unexpected influx of students this semester has resulted in a lack of adequate parking, and measures are currently underway to improve this congestion.

Copies of the Traffic Rules and Regulations are available in the UWA Police Depart-ment.

Please contact Jill Harris at [email protected] or 205-652-3682 for more information.

Many people aspire to become the best people they can be. Some have it in their heart to earn the respect of those around them and everywhere they go. If you would like to become one of these people, just follow these

three simple steps.

1. Learn to be respectful: Being respectful is one of the more essential qualities needed to be-come a better person. You cannot expect others to respect you if you do not respect yourself.. You can earn respect by using language and wearing clothing appropriate for a specific time and place. Of course, a person who is worthy of respect acknowledges the rights and values of other people as well. Respecting others is not a sign of weakness.

2. Learn to have goals in life: Having goals gives an individual’s life purpose. Going through life without goals can generate negative thoughts like envy and jealousy. Having goals will give you motivation, something to fight for, or a reward that you have always wanted. Setting and achieving goals can improve your situation or someone else’s.

3. Be encouraging: Often , a person’s words or deeds can effect a positive or negative change in someone else’s life. If you know someone is feeling down, lending a helping hand or offering a few good choice words can improve his or her entire day. Knowing that someone else cares can go a long way toward boosting someone else’s spirits. Also being an encouraging force can be motivating yourself to be a better person.

Having all three of these qualities can make not only your life better, but make you a better

slapsticka novel by kurt vonnegut, 274 pages

Joe Taylor

You owe it to yourself to read some Kurt Von-negut. Why? Doing so will make you a better human. How? Doing so will make you tolerant of the foolish mistakes humans make. Vonnegut himself was an American pris-oner of war in Dresden during the fire bombing of that city, a single-day campaign that killed more civilians than the atomic bombing of either Hiroshima or Naga-saki. The war in the European theater would be over not three months later. This was overkill on the same scale, for instance, as Sherman’s march.

To the novel: the narrator is Dr. Swain, King of Candle-sticks and New York, President of the defunct United

States. He and his sister share thoughts and be-come super-geniuses when they are close together, though they dub them-selves Bob and Betty Brown when they are separated. They stay together long enough to research gravity, and the Chinese will later look through their diaries and learn how to manipu-late the same. You males will like this part: on “light gravity days,” all males walk about with an erec-tion. And female readers will appreciate that on “heavy gravity days” such erections are impossible. As

with all of Von-negut’s work, by the way, the science-fiction elements are really second-ary. They serve much the same purpose as those in Voltaire’s philosophic novels; they offer comedy and symbol-ism.

As I’ve indicated, Slapstick is set in the future. The Chinese have transformed themselves into microscopic beings to save the ecol-ogy. There’s one problem with this, and that is that normal-sized people inhale them and die. This plague has nearly disintegrated the western world. Dr. Swain and his sister, Eliza, have long since been separated, for she died on Mars some years before. In comes “The Hooligan,” a device for talking with the dead, whom we learn are completely bored in their state, feeling as if they’re condemned to eternity on a “turkey farm.” Through the Hooligan, Swain and his dead sister make contact, though a boy with Tourette's Disease interrupts their super-genius dialogue with vulgarities: “Bugger . . . defecate . . . semen.” The multitudinous dead people listening judge the boy to be “a kindred spirit, as out-raged by the human condition in the Universe” they are. They egg the boy on until “bedlam” develops and the sibling dialogue disintegrates.

You can no doubt tell that plot isn’t one of Von-negut’s strong suits. Neither is psychological realism. However, he’s superb at insight into humanity, he’s superb at black humor, and he’s superb at one-liners. For instance, answering the standby “Those who fail to learn by history are condemned to repeat it,” the King of Candlesticks says, “History is merely a list of surprises.” Read some Vonnegut. You’ll be happy you did.

Many freshmen have a difficult time making a smooth transition from high school to a major univer-sity. Universities offer many more activities and events to be-come involved in than high school does. Freshmen living away from home for the first time find them-selves in a world where they have to manage their own time.

However, there are numerous tricks and pro-

cedures that new students can adapt in order to not only improve their study skills, but also to improve their test scores and graduate in a timely manner.

One of the first steps that a new student should take is to establish a study group. A student in search of an excellent GPA should find two or three other students who are equally serious about improving their grades.

These fellow students will act as a mo-tivating force to study more thoroughly and may even provide better insight into the material for the exam. Yet, freshmen should be careful not to allow too many students into a study group. In large groups, people are more likely to be-come distracted from the task at hand.

Casey Fox, a Physical Education major at UWA, said, “Through study groups, you can connect with other students who are in the same field as you, and students can establish a bond with the people they are going to be with for the next four years.”

College is a more enjoyable experi-ence if incoming freshmen are able to connect with others in their field. Ad-ditionally, a student should find a quiet, practical study space where he or she can actually get work done. A bedroom is not an ideal spot for studying because of the numerous distractions ranging from the television to the roommate. A student

who needs to get serious studying done should find an isolated spot in the library or a coffee where he or she can really focus.

Another way for freshmen to improve their shift from high-school to college is to get a jumpstart on projects and tests and begin them the day they are assigned. When a student begins thinking about as-signments early, he or she has more time to come up with ideas and can even share these ideas with a fellow student or professor for feedback. Cortney Roberts, a senior Athletic Training major at UWA, says, “I like doing work early in small increments. This gives me the opportu-nity to have a review come test time. I don’t have to cram, and this aids me in relaxing during the test.” Additionally, every student should have a calendar or a personal organizer in order to record assignments and important test dates. This method will allow students to better manage their free time and not be taken by surprise when an assignment starts to approach. Students could even consider color coding their organizers with a differ-ent color for each class.

Perhaps one of the most obvious yet often overlooked tricks to excelling in col-lege is to get on a regular sleeping sched-ule. Being alert and focused in class re-

sults in more information that is attained. If a student stays focused, studying for an exam becomes that much easier. Pulling an all nighter in order to study for a test is usually a bad idea because even a few hours of sleep will help students recall information easier. Getting plenty of rest is the key to excelling in college.

· To complement enhanced course offering with effective advising.· To supplement coursework with research, internship, artistic, service, scholarly,

and other experiential opportunities.· To expose high-achieving students to a variety of diverse cultural events and

activities, thereby broadening their social and global navigability.*Freshman are eligible to join the Honors Program who have a composite score 24

on their ACT, a 26 on either English, reading or science reasoning, and a 25 in math-ematics with appropriate math placement test scores. Other students may apply to the director if you have a GPA of 3.25 and more than 32 hours at UWA.

Our students work hard. They do extra projects to earn their Honors Degree. But they get extra academic awards for their work and they have many benefits. They are a part of a scholarly community. They participate in cultural activities at UWA and on trips to museums and exhibits of art, history, music and science.

Among the greatest benefits for Honor’s Program students is the personal atten-tion they receive with smaller classes and their fellowship with like-minded peers and their faculty mentors. The mentors receive the benefit of fresh new ideas from the students they mentor. An example of their cultural opportunities is the planned trip to New Orleans to tour the city and World War II Museum with distinguished professors as guides so that the students will receive instruction as they see the wonderful parts of this historic city.

The Conferences they attend will allow them to meet other Honors Program stu-dents. The new friends made at these places may prove to be a link to a great job or other networking opportunities.

Your 2010 Homecoming CourtThe University of West Alabama student body has elected six of its most outstanding young women to rep-

resent them on the 2010 Homecoming court. The homecoming queen, who is chosen from the four elected upperclassmen, is a well-guarded secret that will be announced during the annual Serendipity talent show Oct. 13. The other three nominees for homecoming queen will serve as the queen’s court, along with the freshman and sophomore maids.

Sydney Broadaway of Linden, Alabama, is a senior majoring in English. A Marengo Academy graduate

and the daughter of Lori Chapman, she currently serves as a University Ambassador, Orientation Leader, SGA Representative, vice president of Phi Mu sorority, and is a member of several academic and leadership honor societies. And Livingston’s Early Alumni Development (LEAD).

Mineshia Giles is a junior nursing major. She is the daughter of Tom and Mary Giles of Tuscaloosa, Ala.abama, and a graduate of Tuscaloosa County High School. Giles is a member of the National Student Nurs-ing Association, the American Nurses Association, and Tri-Beta biological honor society.

Keonna Echols is the daughter of James and Denettria Echols. A junior nursing major, Echols currently serves as secretary of the UWA Student Government Association (SGA), University Ambassador, director of the Campus Activities Board and is a member of PALS. She is a graduate of Paul W. Bryant High School in Tuscaloosa.

Taylor Dunkling represents the sophomore class. A nursing major, she is the daughter of Alan and Tam-mie Dunkling of Cullman, Alabama. Dunkling is a Good Hope High School graduate. She serves as vice president of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority and is a member of People Against a Littered State (PALS). Dunkling is also active in intramural sports.

Ashley Vaughn of Cookeville, Tennessee, is the elected freshman maid. The daughter of Richard and Billie Faye Vaughn, she will major in English and minor in Spanish. Vaughn is a graduate of Marbury High School and is currently a member of UWA’s Scarlet Band from Tiger Land, playing flute and piccolo.

Kellye Reeves of Decatur, Mississippi, is a senior majoring in exercise science and pre-physical therapy.

She graduated from Newton County Academy and is the daughter of Angela Reeves and Johnny Reeves. She is a member of several academic and leadership honor societies and has served as Orientation Leader, University Ambassador, and SGA senator-at-large.

Brandi McGee is a junior majoring in elementary education.

Training and Development Commit-tee.

UWA vs. HendersonHomecoming is upon us, and that means the annual homecoming football game will be taking place at

the end of the week. This is the 3rd time that the UWA Tigers will be facing the Henderson State University Red-dies for homecoming. The series is tied 1-1.

HSU leads the overall series between the two teams 11-4. Both squads last met in 2007, a game which ended in a 38-6 victory for the Reddies.

This week’s game will be a pivotal conference game for both team, and should be a fun, fast-paced, high scoring game. UWA and Henderson are one and two, respectively, in the Gulf South Conference in total of-fense.

“This will be a really big conference game for us,” said Bobby Wallace, UWA Head Football Coach. “It’s going to be a difficult challenge especially because you have two teams who feature similar offensive styles. We depend a lot on quarterback Deon Williams and our passing attack. Meanwhile, Henderson State’s quarterback Nick Hardesty passes for over 300 yards a game. So overall, this will be a really close match-up between two all around good teams.”

Hardesty leads the Gulf South Conference with 2,055 passing yards and 16 passing touchdowns. HSU senior receiver Chris Evering is 3rd in the conference for yards with 464 and tied for 1st for touchdowns with five.

Deon Williams and running back T-Ray Mitchell lead the UWA offensive attack. Williams has 1,979 passing yards, the second most passing yards in the conference, and is tied for 3rd with 12 passing touchdowns.

Mitchell is only a freshman and is second in the conference in rushing touchdowns with six and number one in rushing yards with 560. UWA also has a talented core of receivers led by Gerald Worsham and Randy Lowery.

HSU and UWA enter this week’s contest fresh off conference victories last Saturday. The Reddies are on a two-game winning streak after defeating Southern Arkansas 28-17. UWA defeated Harding 22-17.

Another key component of this game is UWA defensive coordinator Robert Henry. Henry spent several years in the same position with the HSU football team until joining the Tiger coaching staff last spring.

It will be the last conference game between the two teams because Henderson is leaving the GSC after this season.

“Turnovers and penalties will have to be limited for us to win this game,” Wallace said. “Mistakes really hurt us in the losses to Lambuth and Delta State. We also have to take advantage of red zone opportunities and run the ball more. I think if everybody can come together and correct those issues, we will be on track to hav-ing another successful season. Being that it’s Homecoming, we’re likely to have a big crowd at Tiger Stadium. So I’m really looking forward to game day.”

Scarlet Band from Tiger Land Homecoming week is always a busy time for Glen Smith and the Scarlet Band from Tiger Land. In fact, one can say

the band is the centerpiece of the University of West Alabama Homecoming’s biggest events. They will be entertaining the crowd throughout tomorrow’s bonfire ,which be held at the intramural fields.Saturday will be their busiest day, as the Scarlet Band from Tiger Land will perform at the annual Homecoming

parade in down town Livingston, the pep rally before UWA’s football showdown against Henderson State, a musical celebration show during pre game and the 2010 UWA Homecoming Court presentation at halftime.

The annual Homecoming parade will also feature bands from Leroy High, Philadelphia High, Sweetwater High, Lin-den High, Livingston High, Sumter Academy, and Verbea High.

“It’s going to be really cool to be apart of tradition for the first time,” Drew Tucker, UWA freshman and band mem-ber, said. “ From what I’ve seen and heard about Homecoming traditions at other universities, UWA has a more involved experience. Everywhere you go on campus you can the feel atmosphere of Homecoming, which helps you get a sense of excitement and look forward to all festivities.”

Glenn Smith, UWA Band Director, recently received the honor of being selected as a judge of the 27th annual Heart of Dixie Band Festival in Prattville.

In addition, the Scarlet Band from Tiger Land has once again been selected to lead off the Crew of Columbus Parade as a part of Mardi Gras festivities in Mobile, Alabama. The event takes place on March 1, 2011. The band is currently selling raffle tickets to help fund the trip.

“Our band is a loyal group. We provide as much support to all UWA events as much as possible. Homecoming week is always one of my favorite experiences in a lot ways. One of the biggest reasons is it allows an opportunity to showcase all the talent our band has to alumni, visitors and so many others,” Glenn Smith said. “I’m proud to also announce that our band experienced a tremendous growth this fall semester as 60 freshman students joined. We now have 127 members, which is the largest in school history. By next fall, I hope to see us reach our goal of 150 band members.”

Smith added, “I think the band here at UWA is truly special. It says a lot when you get selected several times in a row to lead off the Crew of Columbus Parade. Getting selected to be one of the two judges for the Heart of Dixie band festival was a really big deal for this university and me. I’m so proud of our program.”

Saturday’s pre game performance by the Scarlet Band from Tiger Land begins at 4:30 p.m. at Tiger Stadium. Get there early to get a good seat!

fresh meatuwa softball team acquires their newest members

Coming to college as a freshman is a big deal within itself but being a freshman student-athlete is an even bigger deal.

Taylor Beck, Taylor Miller, and I immediately learned that as we enrolled and officially became members of the University of West Alabama softball team.

All of us have only known each other and our other team-mates for close to two months now. It took us a few weeks to warm up to the upper classmen.

“They (the upper classmen) were a little sketchy at first but now they have come to love us in only two short months.” Miller, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, says.

Beck added, “Being a part of a team where I did not know anyone was a big change for me. It is really new but easy to

adjust to. All together it is a fun experience.”Carrying equipment is an everyday lifestyle for us now, which

is a typical freshman/rookie initiation in every sport from college to the pros.

Despite that, all of the upper classmen have been very posi-tive towards us even when we make mistakes that they correct.

Senior Stephanie Beahn said, “I like the freshmen this year. They have a lot to give to the program. Plus I don’t have to carry equipment anymore!”

This past weekend we played our first fall games and it turned out really good. I have to admit I was a bit nervous but ended up having a blast.

The team worked great together and I am very excited about the upcoming sea-son.

“They are young and have a lot to learn but it is nice to be reminded of that new energy and why we love to play the game.” Jessica Powell, a senior from Sacramen-to, California says.

We have already learned a great deal but there is still so much left to learn. Being a freshman on the UWA softball team is such a great experience and the upper class-men just make it that much better!

Allison Lockhart

Jared JonesAs fall approaches and the summer comes to

a close, excitement burns like a California wild-fire. October marks the beginning of the most amazing stretch of the year. Cooler weather and football season alone are reasons for cel-ebration, but the start of deer hunting season carries the most anticipation.

Bow hunting season opens in Alabama Oc-tober 15. Anyone who has ever spent time in a tree stand can attest to the exhilaration of the hunt. Few activities of such a calm and relaxing nature can incite a rush of adrenaline to the magnitude of hunting with a bow and arrow.

If spending a few hours alone in the tranquility of the open woods is not thera-peutic enough, catching sight of one of the most magnificent creatures to roam freely in nature is surely among the most spectacular sights ever witnessed.

For most sportsmen, hunting is not really about the kill; some of the most enjoy-able hunts are those where a shot is never taken. The opportunity to sit quietly and take in the natural beauty of the forest and all the creatures that inhabit it beckons hunters, but as that unmistakable sound of rustling leaves draws nearer, a racing heart and a trembling body intensify the thrill.

Those few anxious moments seem like an eternity, but when that monstrous whitetail emerges from the brush a few yards away, close enough for you to re-ally examine its true beauty, the question looms: take the shot, or just admire the majestic beast?

a-muse me Hands All Over, Maroon 5 *** (of 5)

On this, their third album, the Los Angeles quintet takes their famously smooth sound and polishes it to a blind-ing sheen. The production talents of industry veteran Robert “Mutt” Lange (who previously helmed tracks for the likes of AC/DC, Bryan Adams, and Shania Twain) are in full display. Hands All Over’s twelve tracks fairly explode from the speakers with tight, well-crafted pop energy. Other bands can take note—not only are Adam Levine and crew’s hook-laden verses as memorable as most bands’ choruses, but they also manage to avoid giving us too much of a good thing, keeping the songs to a radio-friendly four minutes or less. “I

am in misery,” croons Levine over the bubbly groove of the first single, “Misery,” but he sounds more like a seasoned frontman at the top of his game.

While the majority of the album sticks to Maroon 5’s tried-and-true mix of Stevie Wonder-style soul mixed with experimental pop á la late-period Police, the band takes a few more chances here than in the past. Guest vocalist Lady Antebellum lends some authenticity to the country-fied “Out of Goodbyes,” while “Stutter” brings to mind the bouncy pop-punk of fellow Angelinos Blink-182. However, producer Lange may have pushed the group a little too far outside of their comfort zone in some places. For example, the title track channels the worst of Eighties arena rock silliness as Levine belts out silly throwaway lines (“Put your hands all over me!”) over big, dumb power chords, in a throwback to Lange’s glory days with Adrenalize-era Def Leppard. While this sort of thing is clearly a misstep for the band, the rest of the album thankfully sticks to the poppy-soul bedrock upon which the group’s well-deserved reputation is founded.

The Guitar Song, Jamey Johnson **** (of 5)

In case you haven’t noticed, times are pretty hard out there in the “real” world. Outlaw country balladeer Jamey Johnson aims to remind us of this fact with The Guitar Song, his new double album. The first disc, the “Black Album,” is obviously the darker

and moodier of the two, beginning with an out-of-work bar patron reminding a rich music star that “[i]t may be lonely at the top, but it’s a b***h at the bottom” in “Lonely at the Top.” Other tracks like “Poor Man’s Blues” and “Even the Skies are Blue” (“These are sad times/World gone mad times”) continue the downbeat theme of economic and spiritual hard times. The second disc, the “White Album,” is a little lighter in mood, though only in comparison. For ex-ample, the standout song “Good Morning Sunrise” is about greeting the dawn after a long night of drinking away one’s sorrows. However, other tracks like the funky Southern rocker “By the Seat of Your Pants” serve to liven up the party and

brighten our spirits a little. If there is one sour note to The Guitar Song, it is the political anthem “California Riots,” in which Johnson lashes out at all things West Coast. While it’s good that the singer is unafraid to express his views, the song seems tacked on to the album, as if to placate his more right-wing fans. Taken as a whole, though, The Guitar Song is a great example of what modern country music can be. Telephantasm, Soundgarden ****1/2 (of 5)

Soundgarden, according to many critics, was the most under-rated of the so-called “grunge” bands to pour out of the greater Seattle area in the early 1990s. After a thirteen-year hiatus, the band has returned, and in celebration released a best-of set that aims to prove this supremacy. Fans may remember 1997’s contract fulfilling greatest hits album, A-Sides, but Telephantasm goes much further, taking up two CDs worth of room to tell the band’s whole story. Beyond the obvious hits from the seminal albums Badmotorfinger and Super-unknown, listeners are also treated to earlier works, like “All Your Lies” from 1988’s Ultramega OK and “Big Dumb Sex” from the 1989 album Louder Than Love. These earlier tracks show how far ahead of the Seattle pack the band really was, as well as just how powerful and all-fired loud they could really be. In addition, Telephantasm features several rare tracks, as well as a few live versions (Louder’s “Get On the Snake” never sounded as intense). There’s even a bona fide new track—or at least a previously unreleased one—called “Black Rain.” Recorded during the Badmotorfinger sessions, this bass-laden behemoth will knock the plaque off of your teeth and show these youngsters what “heavy” is all about.

Curse ofthe Demon

Tuesday26 October


Free Admission



It’s the first Friday night of the fall semester. All is quiet in Liv-ingston except at The Brass Monkey, where both locals and students swarm through the front door, looking to start the semester off just right with a good dose of some live music.

The front door opens, and the smooth southern-rock style of Drive-by-Truckers’ “Zip City” leaks through the crack. From the entrance, the band is nowhere in sight, due to the flocks of people standing around the bar or playing a quick game of pool.

After pushing through the crowd, one finally catches a glimpse of the stage. Its lights cast a soft green glow over the band as they rock and sway to their own amplified sound. As the band continues through the song, friends and fans, with their fists pumping through the smoke filled air, dance towards the stage to cheer on group members David Hawley, Andrew Poole, Chris Robinson and Allen Tartt, friends who make up local classic-rock favorite Blown Fuse.

The song comes to an end, and the Monkey’s crowd bursts into ear-piercing hoots and hollers, applauding the band for their rocking cover of a classic hit.

“There’s nothing like playing for the hometown crowd,” Hawley happily described. “We enjoy playing for crowds of around 300 in Tuscaloosa, but at the end of the day, we love play-ing for our true fans and friends.”

Since the band started up back in early September of 2005, David Haw-ley has served as its lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and, the most difficult role of all, manager. “David’s the one who makes everything happen. He’s an amazing singer, and he keeps us busy; he keeps us together as a band,” commented Poole. “And he’s a heck of a song writer too.”

In addition to his many other tasks, Hawley writes a few original tracks, such as “Spanish Queen” and “Out of the Rain,” songs influenced by classic rock and blues. “Our [individual] sound mirrors what we enjoy playing,” remarked David on his musical style.

Hawley, however, only represents one note of the band’s full arrangement. Each member brings his own style, own personality, own sound to Blown Fuse.

Alongside Hawley radiates the smooth bass grooves of Andrew Poole and the electrifying riffs of lead-guitarist Chris Robinson, the perfect complements to Fuse’s southern-rock style. “Andrew and I have been playing together since I was fourteen,” Robinson said about his fellow

band mate. “No matter what we do, no matter where we’re playing, Andrew and I seem to have some telepathic connec-tion. I can look at him and he’s right there along with me, every step of the way.”

Hawley, Poole and Robinson are the band’s original members, but after losing their drummer due to undisclosed rea-sons, the band found themselves in a bit of a tight spot. Hoping to both satisfy his creative hunger and pull himself out of a mid-life crisis, Sumter County native Allen Tartt contacted Blown Fuse, and things just escalated from there.

Before representing Fuse, Tartt per-formed as the drummer for local rock band, One Gun Shy. Tartt was in a difficult situation. He hated to leave his friends and fellow musicians behind, but some-times in life, you have to put yourself first.

“There are some great musicians in that band, but we were in a rough spot with no lead singer and nothing going on, so I just kind of fell into place, you know? Just moved across town,” Tartt explained.

With Tartt as their new addition, Blown Fuse rocks harder than ever before, add-ing new songs to their already infinite playlist and venturing outside their com-fort zone. Allen was “the missing link."

However, in the beginning, Blown Fuse never really had big aspira-tions. “We were like, let’s start up a band, why not?” explained Poole.

Establishing their style was the easy part. “We just play what we love,” commented Robinson.

Coming up with a band name? Now that’s a differ-ent story. After testing a few names, David suggested Blown Fuse, lyrics from the influential “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones, which comes as no surprise considering

Hawley’s love for the notorious rock band.Blown Fuse has come a long way since

their earlier days, performing “anything from pasture parties in Sumter County to frat houses in Tuscaloosa,” explained Poole, covering songs ranging from Wide-spread Panic to North Mississippi All-Stars to Creedance Clearwater Revival.

The band has performed at venues such as The Booth and The Jupiter, both located in Tuscaloosa, and even Merid-ian’s historic Temple Theatre as part of the Sucarnochee Revue.

The up-and -coming band even has their own groupies, two guys who have followed Fuse from The Booth in Tusca-loosa to York’s Sundown Lounge, selling peanut butter and jelly sandwiches just to pay their way in.

Hawley, Poole, Robinson and Tartt are more than the members of Blown Fuse; they’re family. “We just have a chem-istry that really sets us apart, you know, because we have such a deep ap-preciation for what each person does,” Robinson lightly remarked. “We have a blast playing with one another; that’s why we’ve been together for five years.”

From tailgating at the game and to intramurals and bonfires, Greek life can get crazy the week of Homecoming. It is the per-fect time to bond with Greek brothers and sisters during brainstorming sessions and late night practices! Wednesday night, the ball really gets rolling. Most sororities and frater-nities compete in the campus-wide talent show known as “Serendipity.” Groups can choose to participate in singing, stepping, or a skit. Last year, the sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau took first place in the skit category, and the sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha took home the first place prize in the step category. Thursday night, a bonfire takes place on the intramural fields following the pep-rally. This year, the brothers of Sigma Pi were kind enough to help Carling Stepniak, Intramural Coordinator, get the wood ready for a great night. Friday night. Greeks get ready to host alumni who start to arrive for the Homecoming Alumni Party. Saturday is the biggest day of the week. The morning includes a parade that all organizations are encouraged to participate in. Last year, the

brothers of Delta Chi won first place with their “Resurrec-tion Delta Chi” float. Tailgating starts around lunchtime as the grills are warmed up for the traditional hamburg-ers and hot dogs. This year, a 25th Birthday Party for LUie will take place at the Campus School. A pep-rally will begin at 4:00 pm in front of the stadium, and the game the whole week revolves around, UWA vs. Henderson State, will kick-off at 5:00 pm! Although it may be a busy week, the Greek community on campus loves every bit of it! If you would like to see your Greek organization featured in muse, please con-tact Ashlynn Frith ([email protected]) at least two weeks in advance.

Representing your country and play-ing to eventually reach the Olympics for a chance to play for a gold medal is a three-year process. It starts with the Fédération Internationale de Basketball (FIBA) world championships.

Before the tournament ended in Sep-tember, I had the same feeling throughout. Where were Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, and the other real NBA superstars?

Oh that’s right I forgot they are given a free pass for the start of this three-year process (with the exception of Kevin Du-rant, who steam rolled his way through the tournament with ease).

In fact, Jerry Colangelo, Director of USA Basketball, and head coach, Mike Krzyze-

wski, were lucky that Durant played in this tournament.

He was the only NBA superstar that did. Kevin put Team USA on his back and led the charge to bring home our country’s first gold medal in the tournament since 1994.

There were players on this roster that you could not pay me to watch such as Danny Granger. Yes, the same Danny Granger who has never even made one NBA all-star team. Granger may be considered a star to Larry Bird and the rest of the Indiana Pacers organization, but he’s not USA Bas-ketball material.

The same can be said of Stephen Curry who will begin just his second year in the NBA within a couple of weeks. Curry

wasn’t even selected as the 2010 NBA rookie of the year.

It may seem as though I am bashing these players but I haven’t really told the truth behind the madness. The players who typically make the USA Olympic roster are kind of like Brett Favre. They show up when they want to when the real games begin.

So when it becomes time for the 2012 Olympic games, you will see players like Bryant and James show up.

The players who were apart of this year’s USA FIBA roster are the ones who really want to play and fight for a gold medal.

They are the ones that said yes I want to play now, while Lebron was busy taking his talents to South Beach and Carmelo Anthony was griping about a trade out of

Denver. However, at least half of this roster won’t

even make the 2012 Olympic roster and represent the USA.

It isn’t right to let the players who played their hearts out and earned a gold medal this past September, do all the dirty work in 2010. Then let the “real stars” come in and achieve Olympic glory in 2012.

These players shouldn’t be allowed to show up when they want and take spots from more deserving players. The 2010 USA Men’s FIBA roster should be the ones who compete throughout the entire process.

To me this is tragic and Colangelo needs to change his policies. If he doesn’t then consequences could ensue in the future.

potato and broccoli

If home had a taste, it would be the creamy, starchy chunks of baked potato, saturated with salty, buttery sour cream and bacon drippings, topped

with chewy, stringy, sharp cheddar and crunchy, smoky fresh fried bacon crumbles, all paired with the complement of fresh broc-coli, cooked to a tender crisp and flavored with the tang of a fresh squeezed lemon and a little salt to tie it all together.

All this, believe or not, can be made in a microwave with these simple ingredients and directions. My potato has Bac~Os® to make it simpler, cheaper, and animal friendly, but bacon strips can be prepared in a microwave also.

Next time you’re homesick, just whip up these sides, and you’ll know why they call them comfort foods.

uwa introduces new interactive mapby Verdie Coleman

College students, do you hate the feel-ing you get when you’re exploring a new area unfamiliar to you and you have no way of knowing where you’re going? Finding your way around campus can be very frustrating, especially if you have no idea where to get a map. Fortunately, the University of West Alabama’s new in-teractive map, created by the Division of Information Systems, is the beginning of a revolution in which finding your destina-tion will be as easy as pushing a button. This digital guide not only ensures that you reach the correct destination, but it also provides useful information about the significance of the university’s many facilities and establishments. According to Meghan Gordon, UWA PR specialist, “This new map is geared towards those who are not familiar with the campus. Each of the buildings has its own trivia information, so the reader can be more knowledgeable about the campus. The map showcases the campus personality and its beauty."Betsy Compton, Public Relations Spe-

cialist, says that this map is available to the general public and students alike. The map can be found on the UWA home page under "Maps" and "Direc-tions." It is free and can be accessed virtually anywhere from a desktop to mobile electronics.

Be Careful What You Ask for . . . Last month in Jefferson County, Alabama sheriff's deputy Sgt. Venita Edge was

pumping gas at a service station when Matthew Kinard, 27, a fellow motorist, ap-proached her and asked if he had any outstanding warrants. Sgt. Edge, happy to oblige, explained to Kinard that if he had outstanding warrants, she would have to arrest him. Kinard presented his drivers license, and while the she ran the check, Kinard couldn't or wouldn't stop talking, volunteering information about former drug arrests and having been shot for while loitering for drugs. He asked not to be arrested if the search proved he had outstanding warrants. According to reports, Kinard's "pupils were constricted and he was sweating profusely." Not surprisingly, the computer check revealed that Kinard had an outstanding warrant for unlawful possession of a con-trolled substance. Edge arrested him, as promised. A subsequent search of his vehicle revealed a stash of Lortab pills. On the way to jail, Kinard said, "I am the stupidest crimi-nal in the world." We couldn't agree more. G
