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. with premier surface and four multipurpose rooms for aerobics what can be called a small water park.

The end of Saddam Hussein 's regime at hand Matthew Wilson staff Reporter Saddam Hussein's 24-year reign was dramatically dismantied last week. Dancing Iraqis gleefully destroyed statues, monuments and posters of Hussein, yvhile yvelcoming coalition troops. "Yes." indeed, the regime has ended, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said during a press briefing held last yvcek. "But yes, indeed, fighting remains It is still a battlefield, While the central command and control elements of the regime have been collapsed, there remain pockets of loyalists who continue to fight and present harm for our armed forces." Saddam and his sons are "either dead, or they're running like hell," said General Tommy Franks, the top commander of the nearly won war He continued News Forum Features "The Saddam regime has ended, is over and we will stay until there is a free government." Upon seizing Baghdad, coalition forces achieved a major military objective The images of Iraqi's embracing coalition forces while celebrating their liberation were remarkable Regardless of the vast array of opinions encompassing this conflict, Iraqi citizens seemed to be anything but ambivalent. Thousands of poyverful images were broadcasted yvorldwide, including in many Arab nations for the first time, of the people of Iraq waving American flags and thanking the men and women who demolished the Hussein regime While the scent of victory begins to fill the air, questions are beginning to surface regardmg the post-war Iraqi reconstruction. Secretary of Defense Donald 1 Sports 3 Classifieds 7 11 15 Rumsfeld ambitiously described coalition efforts for such plans "At the same time we're working with free Iraqis, those in liberated areas and those who have returned from abroad to begin the process of establishing an interim authority yvhich will help pave the way for a new Iraqi government, a government that will be chosen by the Iraqi people, not by anyone else, and based on democratic principles and peaceful coexistence with its neighbors and with the world," Rumsfeld said As the coalition forces trudge through light pockets of Iraqi resistance, many of the staunchest adversaries to the US intervention are welcoming the fallof Saddam Notably at the forefront of opposition, Russia, Germany and France have all three issued public statements supporting the fall of the dictatorship. leaders from the three coun- News Interview with new ISdA President Derrick Green page 6 t < ¦ 11V rsity of Alabama at Birmingham / 1400 Universi tries met in St. Petersburg to push for the United Nations to play the central role in the rebuilding of Iraq.

A U.S. District Court judge in Birmingham will rule on how much of his money Scrushy will be allowed to spend 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 court," Scrushy's new attorney, 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 $22.7 million and a collection of luxury goods, including a Husky seaplane, a 38-foot ocean racing boat and 92-foot yacht Some of the private companies serve as corporate holding vehicles for those assets "Ican't imagine that anyone living outside an Arab emirate, with multiple palaces and attended by a personal staff, would require $600,000 in monthly maintenance," said Jacob Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor and SEC lawyer.

Do the makers hail from France? Are they frightened middle-easterners who felt they had no choice? Someone please tell me why the chick has suddenly gone star-shaped!

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.

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 my marketing slogan. Icall thi: little beauty the Jacques Chirac Strap©. Ft is basically a standard-issue jock strap painted to look like the French flat; Mv slogan: "The .Facque Chirac Strap® 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. Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder willhave his own line of brassieres called Over the Schroeder Boulder Holders©. The bras themselves are pretty crapnv. thouuh. They only offer you support when you don't need it. Saddam Hussein, as you ma V or may not know, is a bestselling romance writer and poe i in Iraq.

Tuesda ', April15, 2003 Kaleidoscope Serving UAB since 1967 Rothell s column makes reckless Letters™ Editor accusations 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 "' BAILEY,from page 3 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 I haven't been too few or too weak. The fact remains the same: There are many more who honor the Confederate flag for the good that it represents than 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 long-term problem of over- STREETER, from page 3 area only. I willnot compromise on always cracking jokes or my G.I. Joes. No. And don't try to convince me, either. I won't hear it! my life. I have guess from now on I to actually know a person before Imake my decision. Well, it's much more time consuming, but all right, I guess I'llgrow up. But in that crowding. 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.

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 open-hearth and . . fireplace ,. four \_ identical bunk beds, lhe top . bunks resemble something from a train's berth. There is a long wall of glass that looks out into the J apanese g arden a nd a 1 ong bench that runs along this wall. The bench has four sections, and each one opens to allow for storage space. 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 utter disrepair it had fallen into. After Mr. Rosenbaum passed away, the house gradually began to need attention.

In 1814, Andrew Jackson and this year's festival, said over 100 his men cornered a band of food and craft vendors and around 20 performers were in attendance. "We use all Native American entertainers," Carpenter said. One such performer is this year's master of ceremonies. Rick "Youngblood" Bird of Cherokee, N.C. Youngblood has been going to powwows of this type since he was a child. While Bird was in college, Rocket Productions, a talent agency forced him to witness the destruction of the Tuscaloosa seeking professional wrestling talent, saw him performing a native dance known as the hoop Lee Weyhrich/Editor in Chief Scott Crisp dances in his fullNative American regalia at DeSoto Caverns. 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 for 11 years as a men's tradition- Lee Weyhrich/Editor in Chief DeSoto Caverns features entertainment forall ages, including Happy's Potty Racers. al dancer. "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. As each performance closes, the performers c all members o f the audience up to do a dance of friendship. In the friendship dance, people join hands and play what looks like a game of follow the leader, As people exited, one could see the resemblance to the dance in the way families exited through the gates, smiles on their faces and many holding hands. -• FOR UAB STUDENTS ONLY: FOR $25 YOU SEE 4 SHOWS!

UAB's biggest foe should be the scorching Texas heat in Waco. Less than a week later, UAB opens conference play at home on ESPN Thursday, Sept. 4, at Legion Field. This game will be huge. Winning on national television gets a program respect and top recruits. The Blazers only have five home games this year, including matchups against Troy State, Cincinnati, Army and Tulane.

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.
