Richard Scnishy. who made
Monday. April 7, marked the
groundbreaking for the new
148,000-foot student recreation
center, despite concerns that
many who will help pay for the
construction may never be able
to use the facilitv.
"We arc currently discussing
ideas on how to accommodate
(those students),'" said Dr.
Virginia Gauld, vice president
for Student Affairs
One of these plans would
allow students who graduate
before the building is completed
to have a temporary membership
after graduating, but plans of this
type arc still in the discussion
phase.
As it stands, the only people
with access to the facility willbe
enrolled students, faculty and
staff.
There have also been concerns over parking for the new
facility.
"We have assessed the parkA new design ofthe Recreation Center, which is slated
ing on campus and determined
that the deck behind Public
Health is not fully utilized,"
Gauld said.
That lot is currently listed as
restricted parking
The complex itself willbe a
19-month project culminating in
a building that will fill almost
the entire city block north of the
15th Street Office Building.
"The facility should be open
in late fall or early spring,"
Gauld said.
The new facility will house
four full-size basketball courts,
one multipurpose court for
indoor hockey and soccer, five
racquetball courts (one that can
convert into a squash court), an
18,000-square-foot cardio area,
a 58-foot climbing wall, a 1/8mile, four-lane running track Anearlier design of the new recreation center.

Saddam Hussein's 24-year

"But yes, indeed, fighting

While the central command and

have been collapsed, there
remain pockets of loyalists who
continue to fight and present
harm for our armed forces."

this week.
A U.S. District Court judge

Scrushy needs the assets
because he paid most of the
expenses ofhis 10 private companies from his own pocket,
Schabackcr said in the deposition.
The SEC considers the
money ill-gotten gains earned
from orchestrating fraud while
Scrushy was Health South 's
CEO
Last month, the court froze
the assets and granted Scrushy
$15,000 in living expenses
through April 9 and $300,000
to operate his private companies that develop real estate,
own his aircraft and handle his
investments.
"Matters involving personal
finances will be resolved in

Donald Watkins, said Tuesday.
He said Scrushy and his
wife, Leslie, would attend the
court session
"They aren't running from
this battle," he said.
Scrushy lawyers Raymond
Johnson and Lewis Gillis filed
a motion Tuesday asking for a
partial lifting of the freeze,
complaining that Scrushy has
been targeted in a government
"blitzkrieg" and has not been
given time to prepare a defense.
They also say the government
has planted smear stories.
Scrushy owns real estate in
Alabama and Florida valued at

Two UAB professors and a
student will present their views
on the political and the economic aspects of the war.
Eva Shall, a member of the
club. said the inspiration for the
event came from the concern
over current unstable economy
and the uncertainty of how the
world willreact to the war .
'The economy is one aspect
of the war that will affect all of
us. It is also important to know
what is happening in our world

While it is true that we have delivered the Iraqi people out
from under the yoke of Saddam Hussein, we must remember that
their deliverance was not our country's main goal.
Our first priority was to ensure that Hussein could no longer be
a threat to our nation.
Since we have not located him and do not know for sure ifhe
is dead or alive, we have failed to acomplish our goal so far.
Although we may have done many good things by liberating
the Iraqi people, we must not lose sight of the real issue at hand:
Protecting the United States from terrorist threats.
As long as the fate of Saddam Hussein is unknown, we cannot
declare victory over Iraq.
Ifwe allow him to slip through our fingers like Osama bin
Laden has, we will fail in the war with Iraq, and we willlose yet
another battle in the war against terror.
We cannot lose again.

We're all juggling a zillion

Are we honestly to believe
that this BIG DAYis more

War II, .

than they are
LeeWeyhrich
Editor-in-Chief
now.
For instance, computers were
huge, hulking behemoths that
filled up numerous rooms and,
within the course of a month's
time, could be counted on to do
such complicated calculations
as 10 divided by 10.
Also, they knew what marketing was back then.
say "marketing," I
When I
don't mean top-heavy, scantily
clad women selling beer or
women running through flowers while talking about their
freshness. What I
mean is that,
in those days, the government
could sell anything to anyone.
Up until the 1960s, when
mind-expanding substances
were in widespread use, the
government could tell you anything, and vou'd believe it.
Aliens just landed. Really? No,
it's a weather balloon. Really?
It's not that we were gullible.
It's just that once the war
pulled us out of the recession,
we were willing and able to
believe anything as a nation.
In the '40s, the government
convinced people to buy war
bonds. They convinced them to
save massive balls of tin foil
for the war effort and grow victory gardens so they didn't
waste food.
Also, every aspect of the war
was marketed as novelty. They
had Hitler lighters where the
flame came from his lower orifice. They sold little statues of
General Patton driving his tank
over Nazi bodies. And people
actually bought this crap. No
wonder WWII saved our economic posteriors.
I
propose we do the same
thing for Gulf War IIas we did
for the War to End AllWars
(see what I
mean about marketing?). I've come up with a few
wonderful novelty items no
consumer can be without.
The first items up for bid are
named after the three countries
who refuse to help us do the
dirty work, but who wish to
reap the rewards for our effort.
The first item up for sale is
named for Jacques Chirac,
president of France and the
greatest thing to happen to that
country since the last time an
American peed on the Eiffel
Tower.
This item is simple and
cheap to produce and should
sell like hotcakes once you hea

Strap©. Ft is basically a standard-issue jock strap painted to

As long as your
boys are safe, who cares about
anyone else's?"
Another item is Endlessly
Putin© toilet paper. Named
after the Russian president
Vladimir Putin, the slogan for
this highly absorbent roll oftoi
let paper willbe "Putin will
clean you right out." But I
think that slogan might be
going a bit far.

country favorites "Baghdad Fe ii

As I
sit and read this piece
by Kenneth Rothell, I
am dismayed at how ignorant people
in the day and age remain.
Ifsome do not support our
president and the freedom for
which he stands, and they
desire to be the "human
shields" for those in countries
of lesser fortune, then they
should by all means depart
from our great country. But
they won't, because they contradict by giving up the very
freedom they use to express
such uneducated opinions.
This man Rothell, who cannot articulate and, as a columnist, writes with the wit of a
second-grade child, hasn't a
clue about life and the things
that the elders of this country
have given their lives for. He
has not lived beyond his parents' rein and has yet to expertence even the most minute trial,
How he can sit behind the
comfort of a keyboard and presume to have a clue as to the
stresses and goings-on of the
office ofPresident of the
United States and then try to
place the meaning of this war
under that of monetary value is
irresponsible and at the least
New inmate pla unconstitutional
We are writing regarding the
administration's plan to send
Alabama inmates to other
states. We at fairHOPI:. Inc..
strongly oppose this plan and
believe Alabama inmates should
stay in Alabama. This is a
"quick fix"plan and does not
address the deeper issues.
We also believe this is a form
ofcruel and unusual punishment. It is a forced exile, which
separates the inmates from the
state, family support and the
rehabilitation process. This will
make an already difficult situation worse.
In addition, the money paid
to other states to house
Alabama inmates could be better spent in Alabama to improve
our own system. Why should
the taxpayers here in Alabama
pay to improve prisons in other
states when we have so many
problems with our own system?
The money that would be
spent to send Alabama inmates
to other states could be used in
Alabama to enlarge the capacity
of the overworked parole system, to expand or add work
release facilities to allow
inmates to support themselves
and the economy, to develop
halfway house programs to help
reintegrate ex-offenders safely
back into society and to
increase community-based alternatives to incarceration.
FairHOPE asks the administration to consider keeping
inmates in Alabama through
alternatives such as parole and
community programs.
We believe Alabama should
be held accountable for its own
actions, for its "get tough on
crime" laws and to its citizens.
There are too many inmates
in the Alabama system.
As long as Alabama continues to overwhelm its limited
prison system by reliance on

just, and ready to defend this
ideology with their lives when
called for.
Ifyou want to feel contempt
in the right direction, then you
must realize that slavery existed
for decades under the U.S. flag,
long before the Confederate
flag.
The flag we celebrate is the
flag of pride in our past, but not
everything in our past (just like
the American flag).
The flag we celebrate is the
flag of pride in our ancestors,
of pride in a particular time in
our ancestors' lives that the
SP' 1 1 °frevolution was strong
enough to ignite a war for suecession and of pride in the
region of vast expanses of the
most beautiful fields, streams
and woods in the nation,
pray that these points

The fact remains the same:
There are many more who

those who adopt it for the
wrong reasons.
incarceration rather than other
alternatives, all we can do are
quick fixes.
Overcrowding has gotten to
the point where federal courts
are threatening to take over the
administration of our state institutions.
County jails are dumping
inmates offin Montgomery
because they have no room.
The D.O.C has been fined
millions because of current
overcrowding and will possibly
be closing two major institutions, making the problem even
worse.
While all this is happening,
our state representatives willbe
considering a "truth in sentencing" law that would keep even
more inmates packed in the
overcrowded system, tying the
hands of prison administrators
and the parole board even more
than they already are.
Until you turn off the faucet,
you can't empty the bucket.
FairHOPE sincerely hopes
the administration willrescind
its decision to transport inmates
out of state.
Unless the people of Alabama let their representatives,
senators, Gov. Riley and
Commissioner Campbell know
they are opposed to sending
inmates out of state, it will happen and keep happening, and
nothing willbe done about the

Well, it's much more time

guess I'llgrow up. But in that

The solutions being offered
by the state willnot work
because they ignore the real
problem.
The real problem is the fact
that too many people are being
sent to prison when alternatives
are available.

Wright's Florence house a marvel of modern architecture
My tour guide is Pat Counts,
who grew up in Florence, Ala.,
and watched the house evolve.
"The house was a curiosity,"
she recalls. "Nobody really knew
what it was going to be. It was so
different from the rest of the
architecture in our town."
She tells me that the house
was built in 1939 for Stanley and
Mrs.
Mildred Rosenbaum.
Rosenbaum was not a great fan
of Southern architecture, so she
and her husband appealed to a
family friend who was an
apprentice under Frank Lloyd
Wright, possibly the most
famous American architect.

cost of $5,000 each.
He believed that if the living
space was harmonious, the family life would be as well.
He designed most of the furniture in these houses because he
detested bulky pieces. His threelegged chairs and stationary
desks are the perfect complement to the houses' clean lines
and clutter-free spaces.
Another signature of these
homes is the radiant heating systern that runs under the floors,
These employ a series of pipes
with hot water running through
them to keep the entire house
warm.
Other features of this home
are some incredible examples of
cantilevering and mitered glass
that form seamless comers and
the illusions of an open room.
The rooms are all quite small,
but the house's angles and vanous wings give it a sense of vastness. To take in a room all at
once requires standing in a corner to capture the lines and craft
work ofeach area.
Some of the rectangular windows have ,, cutout
r7., . , .
., .patterns
attached to them that Wright
tried to personalize for each
house.
The doorway to each room is
only a mere 20 inches wide,
Wright was charmed by train
cars, a nd t he door frames a re a
reflection of this fascination.
The rooms all have floor-toceiling windows on one side, and
every room has its own door
leading into some lush landscape. Natural light pours in and
illuminates the richness of the
cypress and brick.
Wright believed in using a
region's natural resources to
make a home. Allof the brick for
this house is from nearby
Decatur, and the wood is from
South Alabama.
In 1948, the Rosenbaum tarnlly had become larger by the
addition of several sons, and the
family decided to seek Wright's
guidance in building an addition
to the existing structure
Wright agreed to the construetion of a new wing, and the result
was a larger kitchen and boy's
dormitory.
In the boy's area, there is an

The bench has four sections, and

Around a couple of corners
and down a few stairs, one finds
the guest room at the back of the
addition. It is here that copies oi
the original house plans are on
display and where older photographs of the house show what

After Mr. Rosenbaum passed
away, the house gradually began
to need attention. Hventually, termites got 1 nto t he wood, eating
into the house's interior and

dance.
The hoop dance is an athletically challenging dance, which
requires the dancer to move up to
40 hoops around his body without missing a beat. With these
hodjps, he must create animal
shapes. Within s ix weeks, B ird,
now known professionally as
Youngblood, was touring as a
professional wrestler.
Itis because of his status as a
heavy weight champion in the
All Star Wrestling federation he
is now asked to emcee events of
this type on an almost weekly
basis.
"I've been an emcee ever
since Ibecame a professional
wrestler," Youngblood said. He
became a wrestler in 1975.
Most of the performers, like
Youngblood, have grown up
around the powwows. Scott
Crisp of Etowah, Term., has been
involved in the powwows since
he was a child and has performed

"I always went (to the powwows), and I
asked them to teach
me how to dance. They passed it
on to me," Crisp said.
Crisp's regalia consists of a
— an item used in tracoup stick
ditional dances — a shield with a
bear paw painted on itand a multitude of turkey feathers.
"Everything Iwear has been
made by a family member, friend
or myself," Crisp said as he held
up the items in his possession.
The hoop dance and the men's
traditional dance are only two of
the many dances performed at
this festival.
Allthe performers take their
craft very seriously. They practice constantly, and many show
up to these powwows almost
without fail.
"They look forward to itevery
year, just like we do," Carpenter
said.
When asked what sets the
DeSoto Caverns festival apart
from other, similar events,
Youngblood said the powwow at
DeSoto Caverns "is probably the
most coordinated event of this
- - it is very well orgatype
nized."
There are two festivals each
year. The fall festival willcelebrate its 28th anniversary Sept.
20 and 21 of this year.
Everyone attending the event
found something that interested
them.
Some people enjoyed the
dancing and storytelling of the
performers. Some enjoyed shopping at the vendors stand; others
enjoyed the park's regular attractions, such as Happy's Potty
Racers, an attraction where children race on vehicles that greatly
resemble toilets.
"That is hilarious," said Adam
Gipson, a spectator who drove
down from Lookout Mountain,
Ala., about the potty racers,
Some attend so regularly they
are recognized by other people at
the festivals,
"Igo every year because it's a
way to experience a dying culture first-hand and to connect to
my heritage," said Jennifer
Duncan, a psychology major
from UAB.

'Corpses' a carnival of carnage
Chris Mahan
Forum Editor
Rob Zombie's "House of
1000 Corpses" is certainly not
for everybody.
In fact, it is probably not the
type of movie that most people
willappreciate, especially ifyou
are a member of the Christian
Coalition.
However, if you are a fan of
Zombie's previous artistic
endeavors and enjoy cult classics such as "Night of the Living
Dead," you willlove this film.
The plot is one that is common among the horror genre.
Four teenagers set out on a journey to discover the truth behind
the legend of a lynched serial
killer known only as Dr. Satan.

Coach, who's the backup QB?
With the QBs putting up respectable numbers, Coach Brown
continues to have doubts about who's going to begin the year No. 2
Jason Vtana

The annual spring football
game traditionally is the grand
finale of spring practice and
serves as a showcase for the
state of the team heading into the
crucial summer conditioning
The

Blazers have four spnng practiccs remaining this year, and it
showed.
Head Coach Watson Brown
emphatically addressed the work
that lies ahead of this very young
football team immediately following the two-hour scrimmage,
"In Waco, itis going to be 112
degrees," a frustrated Brown
pointed out as his team was visibly winded and tired Brown's
point was not lost on his team, as
the players nodded in agreement
and listened intently to the message being sent.
Brown has long said that a
football team is made between
the end of spnng and the beginning of fall practice, and tliis
season, that time period could be
more crucial than at any time in
his program's history.
Even though Brown's squad
returns 18 of 25 starters from
last season, only four of those
starters are seniors.
Finding leadership in the
locker room willbe key in keeping the younger players focused
and in the weight room.

undefeated

capped off its six-week spring
training period in March after
going undefeated in three play

giving them more freedom to
utilize their quickness, pursuit
and reading ability.

a four-week stint of individual
workouts
The first three weeks consisted of daily training, with weekends off The last three weeks
added three weekend play dates,
which concluded during the first
weekend of spring break.
"Iam pleased with our team's
Head
ongoing improvement.'
Coach Mclmda Claibome said.
"Our training focus was on the
individual's development in a
number of technical areas, while
implementing and testing a new
team defensive s\stem.
"We continue to develop in all
aspects ofour program, and Iam
very proud of our players They
display exceptional work ethic
and have really stepped up to
show great maturity as a team
and individually It is never easy
to turn a program around, but
with the continued commitment
and dedication that Iget from
these fine young women, I
have
no hesitations about our continued ascent to the top."
During the three weeks of
competition, the team defeated
Georgia State in two matches (30, 3-1) at home March 15.
UAB then traveled to Emory
University in Atlanta March 22
and defeated Middle Tennessee
