When AubieSat1, the first sat-ellite
ever built by Auburn stu-dents,
transmitted the words
“War Eagle” back to earth this
past summer, it was confirma-tion
of a successful mission.
Planning for AubieSat1 began
in 2001, led by Jean-Marie Wers-inger
in the physics department.
“This was the first satellite by
Auburn, and it was so new to ev-eryone
that it took a long time to
really get something developed,”
said Kyle Owen, junior in electri-cal
and computer engineering.
“Oct. 27, 2011 was when it was
launched, but the summer be-fore
that was when 90 percent of
it was built.”
Alex Lewis, sophomore in
electrical engineering, heard
AubieSat1 respond firsthand. “I
was working under Dr. Wersinger
with Andrew [Slaughter], and we
all flew out to Montana to get the
‘War Eagle’ and all the successful
transmission.”
While the mission was ulti-mately
successful, it was very
touch-and-go at first.
“Initially, it was not a success
because we were worried that we
did not employ antennas or that
our transmitter was stuck in a
low-power state,” Owen said. “We
were having a really hard time
hearing it, so I built a transmitter
that could be carried around, and
we basically blasted AubieSat1 un-til
it responded, and it did.”
While Owen was not there in
person to hear it respond, he re-ceived
a phone call shortly after-ward.
“I got a call from Dr. Wersing-er
and I almost cried, because
up until that point, we knew it
was there; it was beckoning to us
and spitting out some random
Morse code every couple of min-utes,”
Owen said. “We could hear
it every time it came around, but
it was not until we blasted it with
that much power [1500-watt am-plifier]
that it finally said ‘War Ea-gle’
to us.”
Owen said AubieSat1 was built
completely from scratch. “We
made the boards, we put the com-ponents
on and soldered every-thing
together,” he said. “By the
time we shipped it out, we were
so ready to just be done with it; we
had spent so much time on it, and
we were just hoping for the best,
but really expecting the worst.”
Because of AubieSat1’s success,
plans are in the works to build an-other
satellite.
“We just started this semester
working on an AubieSat2,” Lew-is
said. “We’re going to find out in
the beginning of November if we
get the $900,000 grant, and if we
get that, then it’s the green light
for the go-ahead on AubieSat2.”
John Klingelhoeffer, auburn
graduate and former president of
two different commercial satellite
companies, is the technical con-sultant
working with the team of
students who built AubieSat1.
He said the second satellite
shouldn’t be as lengthy of a pro-cess.

Former football players’
trials delayed for testing
Zeke Turrentine
Community Editor
The trials of former Auburn
football players Dakota Mosley,
Michael McNeil and Shaun Kitch-ens
were postponed again as the
court is waiting for further test re-sults
on evidence, according to at-torneys
for the accused men.
The three are to stand trial for
robbery charges brought in March
2011 after an armed robbery of a
mobile home off Wire Road. Po-lice
said at the time they recov-ered
a gun–later found to be for-mer
football player Michael Dy-er’s–
and stolen goods from the
home in the car upon pulling the
group over.
Dyer testified he and the oth-er
players were smoking synthetic
marijuana and that the group said
“they were going to hit a lick,” or
go rob someone. Goodwin, Dyer
said, wanted him to go because he
knew of his handgun. He said he
turned down tagging along for the
ride and believed that Goodwin
took his gun from his apartment.
Antonio Goodwin, another for-mer
player, was also in the car.
He recently received a prison sen-tence
of 15 years after his convic-tion
in April. He was given a sen-tence
in the middle range of what
the state recommends for robbery
like this.

Auburn residents will have two
chances to go “all in” this week-end,
as a resolution making Fri-day,
Oct. 5 “All Auburn Blue Day”
was approved by City Council at
the Oct. 2 meeting.
Auburn High School head
coach Tim Carter was recognized
by the Council for his achieve-ments
with the football team. Au-burn
High had been nationally se-lected
by ESPN to televise its Oct.
5 game against Montgomery’s
Carver High School.
Carter and the team are asking
fans to wear all blue to show their
pride in Auburn High and local
athletes for the national audience.
Carter was grateful for the rec-ognition
and thanked the Council
and supportive fans.
“Well you know, the Council
wanted to recognize our team,”
Carter said. “It’s a big-time game.
There’s two Auburn commitments,
Auburn University commitments.
I think that added to the excite-ment
of it. But we’re both two top-ranked
teams. You know it’s just a
big showdown.”
Tickets for the game are avail-able
starting Oct. 1 and can be
purchased in the Auburn High
athletic office from 7:30 a.m.–4
p.m.
Councilwoman Sheila Eckman
briefly advocated for the city to
improve its public transportation
system, based on information she
gathered at a recent conference in
Washington, D.C.
“We have a pseudo-public
transportation with LETA,” Eck-man
said. “Someone that wants to
use it has to call a day in advance.
It’s a tedious thing. There’s noth-ing
that people can just rely on.”
Eckman admires the model Ti-ger
Transit provides.
“We have a perfect example
in Tiger Transit and how well
that works,” she said. “I think
as we grow and get into a situa-tion
where we need one, we’ll get
something like that.”
Clay Phillips announced UPC’s
first Bodda Getta Bash, a public
pep rally and concert to be held in
Bibb Graves Amphitheater Oct. 5
at 6 p.m.
Bizilia’s Café’s outdoor permit
request was approved.
Six city employees were recog-nized
for their service and dedica-tion
to the city.
The purchase of one $86,002.84
Bobcat Compact Track Loader
was approved, for use by Water
Resource Management.
No citizens came forward dur-ing
Citizens’ Communications.
“We have a perfect
example in Tiger
Transit and how
well that works.”

After-hours advising caters
to late-night students
Becky Hardy
Campus Reporter
Students who have trouble
reaching their advisers can worry
no more. A new service called Tiger
Adviser has come to the rescue.
Tiger Advising is a program that
offers after-hour advising services
to students.
“This gives students one more op-portunity
to get advice on how to be
successful at Auburn,” said Provost
Timothy R. Boosinger.
Tiger Adviser is a new collabor-ative
program on campus between
SGA and the Office of the Provost.
“Advising was one of Owen’s big
platforms,” said SGA Chief-of-Staff
Collier Tynes. “Making it easier for
students to access advisers.”
Along with Parrish’s vision, Tynes
put her experience into the idea as
well.
“I went on a COSGA retreat, and
when I was there, there was anoth-er
university that talked about hav-ing
a kiosk of all this important in-formation
in it,” Tynes said. “And I
thought how that would be such a
great thing for Auburn.”
Many complaints have been filed
about contacting advisers on time,
so this would be a way to help get
rid of that problem, said Constance
Relihan, associate provost for un-dergraduate
studies.
“The advisers we have are doing
a great job, but some students have
said that it is difficult to get appoint-ments
that will work around their
class schedule,” Boosinger said.
Tiger Advising’s main purpose is
to offer general process information
for students, Relihan said.
“Students will not be able to get
a pin number or specific advising
on, say, which journalism class is
best for you to take for your career
plan,” Relihan said. “This program
will help students help themselves
by getting information more easily.
It’s set up to make sure the students
know who their advisers are, how
do they change they major, what
does it mean to gap a course, how
do they read their degree works au-dit
and how do they go about tak-ing
courses at another school over
the summer.”
The questions students should
ask should only take about five min-utes
to answer, said Julie Huff, spe-cial
assistant to the provost for proj-ects
and initiatives.

Auburn students take part in fitness challenge
Becky Hardy
Campus Reporter
Maxim Magazine and Body For-tress
fitness company have teamed
up to encourage students across the
nation to exercise.
A total of 10 schools are participat-ing
in the fitness challenge, including
Auburn.
“At each school we set up obstacles
like monkey bars, pullups, situps and
there’s a vertical jump,” said Kelsey
Laport, media manager for Body For-tress.
Everyone is invited to give it a try,
Laport said.
“You just, of course, have to assure
us that you are in a physical condition
that you are able to do it,” Laport said.
There will be a total of 20 winners,
a male and female student from each
school, by the end of the tour.
“In order to be the ‘top dog’–there’s
a male and a female ‘top dog’–you
just have to be able to get the most
points by completing those fitness
challenges,” Laport said.
The public will then vote on its fa-vorite
20 ‘top dogs’ from each school
to win the prize, she said.
“Each winner will win an all-ex-pense-
paid trip to Maxim Spring
Break 2013 at Panama City Beach,”
Laport said.
Although the original plan was
to test students physically, the rainy
weather on Oct. 1 forced the chal-lenge
to resort to a plan B, Laport
said.
“This was one of the few instances
where we were unable to secure an in-door
location, so trivia was our back-up
plan,” Laport said. “We wanted to
make sure the students here could
still participate and we didn’t want to
penalize anyone for the fact that it’s
raining.”
Throughout the day, the table in
the Student Center attracted a cou-ple
hundred people, although not all
filled out the trivia sheet, Laport said.
“About 30 to 40 people have filled
out the trivia,” Laport said. “It is more
of an intensive process because you
have to sign up and fill out the ques-tions.”
Some questions were really gener-al,
like ‘what does BMI stand for?,’ La-port
said.
“The University of Central Flor-ida
has the highest score so far,” La-port
said. “The second school is Flor-ida
State.”
The schools were first picked by
votes of the general public.
“We put a list of top 100 football
schools online and people were able
to vote on which ones we should go
to,” Laport said. “Then we logistical-ly
went through the 100 schools that
were picked and reached out to the
campuses to see if they would al-low
us to have the event, if there was
enough room for it and stuff like that.”
Maxim and Body Fortress hope to
enlighten their key demographic of 18
to 34-year-olds while visiting Auburn.
“Body Fortress sells premium
workout products, like weight pro-tein,
vitamins,” Laport said. “All things
that will help you during your work-out
and recovery.”
Although everything did not go as
planned, Maxim and Body Fortress
enjoyed their time at Auburn, Laport
said.
“We’re really excited to be at Au-burn,”
she said. “It was a really beau-tiful
campus, and everyone was very
receptive and nice to talk to.”

During a monthly meeting of the
University’s College Democrats, the
members welcomed the discussion
of an influential side of health care.
The organization accepted a re-quest
from Christopher Butts and
Ron Crompton of the Alabama Medi-cal
Marijuana Coalition to speak at its
monthly meeting.
AMMC supports a bill that would
legalize the use of medical marijuana
in Alabama and protect the citizens
who use it.
AMMC’s goal is to get its bill, mod-eled
after Americans for Safe Access’s
bill, passed as soon as possible.
“Our fight is to protect people like
us, who will and are benefiting from
(the use of marijuana),” said Butts, co-president
and chair of the board of di-rectors
for AMMC.
Crumpton, co-president and ex-ecutive
director of AMMC, wants to
make it clear the organization is only
for the protection of the citizens who
will benefit from the medical mari-juana
license.
“We are not for the general legal-ization
of marijuana,” Crumpton
said. “We are all about providing safe
access.”
Jacob Dean, president of College
Democrats, said this issue directly af-fects
his organization’s members.
“One of our members has Crohn’s
disease and would benefit greatly
from the legalization of medical mar-ijuana,”
Dean said.
Dean believes there are other good
reasons for the legalization of medi-cal
marijuana.
“Our prisons are overcrowded,
under-funded and the state is go-ing
bankrupt right now,” Dean said.
“Medical marijuana could greatly
benefit our state financially.”
AMMC brought its ideas to Au-burn’s
campus with the goal of gain-ing
supporters, said Butts.
“We’re going anywhere to find peo-ple
like College Democrat members
that will help support this legislation
and help us get the word out,” Butts
said. “We need everyone to talk to
people in their circle of influence and
outside their circle of influence, and
let them know that this legislation is
up.”
Dean believes Auburn, as well as
other college campuses, are the per-fect
place to find politically involved
individuals.“Students are much more
aggressive for these types of policies,
whether it’s homosexual marriage,
medical marijuana or the war poli-cy,”
Dean said. “Even Auburn would
be a favorite supporter of the medical
marijuana.”
The reasoning behind Butts’ and
Crompton’s advocacy for the legaliza-tion
of medical marijuana stems from
their rough pasts.
“I’ve suffered from a back inju-ry
since 1992,” Butts said. “A lot of
the pills the doctors gave me were to
counteract the first three pills I was
put on. And before I knew it, I was
taking 10 pills a day.”
Butts’ addiction cost him a lot
more than the money in his pocket.
“I eventually lost a job, a marriage
and relationships with my children,
who are grown now,” Butts said.
Crompton suffered from a frac-tured
vertebra that then developed
into spinal stenosis and caused him
to develop ulcers from all the pills
he was prescribed.
“Having one major medical con-dition
to deal with turned into two
because of the pills given to me be-cause
of my first problem,” Cromp-ton
said. “I developed more prob-lems,
including chronic nausea.”
Both turned to marijuana to es-cape
the clutch of prescription pills.
“These pills that the doctors had
me on propel you into the deepest,
darkest depression you could ever
think of,” Crompton said. “If it was
not for my son, I would not be here
right now.”
Butts argued marijuana is safer
because it is a botanical plant.
“It’s just like rosemary,” Butts
said. “Botanical herbs are not ap-proved
by the FDA as drugs. Mar-ijuana
should be given that same
thing.”
Dean hopes to spread the word on
the medical, not recreational, uses of
marijuana to help the bill pass.
“I didn’t know medical marijua-na
had all those uses, so if more peo-ple
could learn about the uses, not
the recreational use, but the medi-cal,
then a lot more people would be
aware and able to support this bill,”
Dean said.

built AubieSat1.
“I think Auburn has enough experi-ence
now that the next one won’t take
as long,” Klingelhoeffer said.
Owen said he expects a completely
new transmitter design for the second
satellite.
“It will have more amateur radio ca-pabilities,
and we’ll be able to take a
walkie-talkie and actually talk to the
satellite and have it echo back down,
which is going to be really cool,” he
said.
Klingelhoeffer said the teamwork
aspect is most important. “No one in
the industry works in an all-engineer-ing
group, or an all physics group,” he
said. “There’s going to be all sorts of
people you have to work with.”
Klingelhoeffer said he has had a lot
of fun working with the students.
“A thing that they had their hands on
building is up there in space, beeping
away and sending messages,” Klingel-hoeffer
said.

Tiger Advising is not a replace-ment
for students’ college adviser by
all means, Relihan said.
“Students really need to talk to
people in their department about
that,” Relihan said. “We really want
the people who know the most about
the specific questions students ask
about to be the ones that are giving
the students this advice.”
Tiger Advising will be located in
room 2143 in the library, near the
learning commons. It will be open
from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday
through Thursday.
The time is perfect because most
students are in the library around
those times, Huff said.
Relihan said if demand is heavy
they will open advising Sunday
through Thursday.
Two formally retired advisers will
be coming back to Auburn’s campus
to help out at Tiger Advising.
Along with past academic advis-ers,
Tiger Advising is also looking for
peer advisers to help out as well, Re-lihan
said.
“Peer advisers are people who have
been here at least a year and have at
least a 3.0 GPA and preferably peo-ple
who have been Camp War Eagle
counselors, student recruiters or peer
advisers in their college,” Relihan said.
“Basically we are looking for someone
with some sort of background in ad-vising.”
One academic adviser and one
peer adviser will be on-call at all
times during the respective hours.
“It’ll be really nice to have our per-spectives
put in as students and then
advisers,” Tynes said. “It can only be
done with the advice from a lot of
people.”
The advising will only be made by
walk-ins.
“We are ordering restaurant-style
pagers because there is really no
dedicated waiting area right there,
but students will be in the library, so
there are plenty of places to sit,” Reli-han
said.
As well as the advising in the office,
Tiger Advising hopes to have a fully
stocked website of information avail-able
to the students, Huff said.
If Tiger Advising becomes really
popular, the service may look into on-line
chat opportunities.
Tiger Advising will be open Oct. 1.

ONLINE EDITOR
As customers in the U.S.
clamor for the latest iPhone,
some citizens in developing
countries are still dealing with
the poisonous effects of the
old model.
It’s not the new technolo-gy
consumers buy that causes
problems, but what becomes
of the hazardous materials
that are thrown away instead
of recycled.
Two filmmakers, Isaac
Brown and Ana Paula Habib,
are trying to create awareness
about this preventable situa-tion
with their new documen-tary,
“Terra Blight.”
The filmmakers presented
the film Sept. 24 in Langdon
Hall, as part of the film’s 2012
Awareness Tour.
In focusing on the life cycle
of the computer, the film ex-plores
the invention and heavy
use of computers in Ameri-ca,
a manufacturing plant in
Habib’s native Brazil and the
eventual disposal of outdated
machines. Some from the fed-eral
government and the Envi-ronmental
Protection Agency
here in the U.S. are brought to
a dump in Ghana.
Ironically, the film shows
some of the final African recip-ients
of this “e-Waste” have no
idea what computers are ac-tually
used for, only that they
contain precious metals.
Brown said the concept for
the film started 10 years ago
when he was doing a photo-journalism
project about dif-ferent
squandered resourc-es.
He said he started to be-come
“increasingly disturbed
by how much the U.S.A. wastes
as a culture.”
Brown and Habib agreed
Auburn has been one of the
most receptive campuses so
far.
“So far, I have to say that
Auburn was the most ready
school,” Habib said. “They
took the time to make fliers
about what’s happening to the
school’s computers, but in-form
students what they can
do individually as well. We felt
that our true goal was met at
that screening, because not
only were we able to give them
information, but then connect
them with local recycling pro-grams.”
The screening was hosted
by the Office of Sustainabili-ty
as part of the Campus Con-versations
program and en-lightened
students about recy-cling
their computers, as well
as how the University discards
unnecessary electronics.
Matt Williams, program
manager for the Office of Sus-tainability,
said the screening
prompted a lot of positive dis-cussion
among students, facul-ty
and University departments.
“It was one of the best show-ings
we’ve ever had,” said Wil-liams.
“We were really proud
of the turnout, the discussion
afterward and with how en-gaged
and involved everybody
was. It was such an excellent
field for bringing everyone up
to speed and helping every-body
see where we need to be
shifting the system as a whole.”
In the film, the recycling
company Creative Recycling
Systems (CRS) is profiled as
an efficient way to reduce and
re-use electronic waste be-cause
of its ability to separate
and sell most of the materials
used in electronics. Auburn
has been a pioneer in working
with CRS for many years.
Bill Capps, surplus property
manager for the University, has
been working with CRS for ap-proximately
six years and tries
to recycle any University elec-tronics
that are either unwant-ed
or unable to be sold at ware-house
auctions.
“I like knowing that when
their use is over, that they’re
going to a better place,” Capps
said. “We try and send to CRS
whenever possible, no ques-tions
about it.”
After viewing the film and
seeing the dangers of improp-erly
disposed electronics,
Capps said machines such as
computers should be consid-ered
hazardous waste materi-al
and recycled if possible.
“With all the lead and oth-er
stuff inside, none of this
should ever go into a landfill,”
Capps said.
Students also have the op-tion
to donate their person-al
electronics to the Nation-al
Cristina Foundation, a non-profit
that allows electronics
to be re-used by others in need.
For now, students do not
have anywhere on campus
they can donate used elec-tronics,
but the city of Auburn,
in partnership with electron-ics
recycler CompuPoint, al-lows
donations at the recy-cling
center at 365-A North
Donahue Drive.
Habib explained that the
film is not anti-technology, but
pro-recycling and pro-aware-ness.
“By no means are we telling
people to stop using technolo-gy,
or that technology is bad,”
Habib said. “We couldn’t have
made this film without tech-nology.
The goal of the film is
to try and empower the audi-ence
to demand products to
be made greener and disposed
of properly or recycled, if pos-sible.”

On Sept. 30, police sought
help from Auburn in a welfare
check on engineering profes-sor
Saad Biaz after a domes-tic
incident at his home.
AU Daily sent a message to
campus subscribers in hopes
they would have information
about Biaz’s whereabouts.
“(Biaz) left home walking
this morning after a domes-tic
incident at his place of
residence and has not been
heard from since,” the mes-sage
said. “There is no indi-cation
that harm has befallen
him, but police are asking the
university community for as-sistance.”
Capt. Tom Stofer, public re-lations
officer for the Auburn
Police, said Biaz has been
found unharmed, but would
not give further details.
Biaz is now back in his of-fice
and said the welfare
check was unnecessary.
“I believe there was a lot
of exaggeration about this,”
Biaz said. “I just walked from
home to Kiesel Park without
a cell phone.”
The community search did
yield results, and Biaz said
the police found him easily.
“When I was returning
from Kiesel Park, walking
again, a person stopped and
asked ‘are you so-and-so?’”
Biaz said. “I said yes, and she
said ‘they are looking for you.
Do you allow me to call the
police and say that I saw you?’
I said ‘sure, you do it,’ because
I did not have a cell phone
myself. And that was it.”
Biaz said he is grateful to
the many people who have
called to check on him, but
wanted everyone to know
there is no cause for concern.

SGA and UPC collaborate
for Auburn’s first annual Bod-da
Getta Bash.
This event will be held on
Oct. 6th starting at 5p.m.
“It is a joint pep rally and
concert event,” said Collier
Tynes, SGA chief of staff. “Ba-sically
there’s going to be the
cheerleaders, Aubie and a
couple guest speakers.”
The speakers will be coach-es
Trooper and Luther Taylor.
During the rally there will
be a chance to win a Verizon
wireless cellphone.
Afterward, Trot Line will
perform a concert.
This will be the only pep
rally and UPC concert during
the football season.
“In the past years we’ve
done a couple of pep rallies
during the fall and this year
we really wanted to focus on
one larger pep rally that we
could really celebrate the Au-burn
family,” said Sarah Beth
Worsham, SGA executive vice
president of programs. “The
vision behind it is to have one
big celebration that everyone
could come to, instead of just
multiple pep rallies during
the season.”
The collaboration between
groups was helpful in plan-ning
the event said Worsham.
“They’re really great at
what they do with fall con-certs
and big events,” Wor-sham
said. “Being able to
work with them has al-lowed
SGA to supply a con-cert,
which is something we
wouldn’t have been able to do
with a normal pep rally.”
Worsham said she expects
30,000 people to attend.
“That’s really the ballpark
number that we are shooting
for,” Worsham said. “It is open
to students and the commu-nity
as well. We’re hoping that
with a lot of people coming in
for the game this weekend,
we’ll have a lot of people at-tend
and it be a large event.”
Worsham hopes to expand
Bodda Getta Bash and con-tinue
it into upcoming years.
“We hope that this is some-thing
that becomes an Au-burn
tradition and something
that in ten years we’re all ex-cited
to come back to and be
a part of,” Worsham said.
UPC and SGA become
partners in new event

  e article concerning the apart-ment
complexes on West Longleaf
Drive reeked of poor journalism and
sensationalism.
First, the tragic shooting that oc-curred
on Saturday, June 9 could have
happened at any of Auburn's many
apartment complexes. Tragic inci-dents
such as what happened that
night occur in quiet neighborhoods
and in gang-infested cities. It is lu-dicrous
to think that because of one
terrible incident, these complexes
are suddenly less safe than any other
complex in Auburn.
Second, the word "rape" can mean
many things.
By no means do I excuse those who
violate a person sexually without con-sent,
but there is a di· erence between
drugging a drink and a shadowy ¸ gure
in the bushes waiting for their next
victim.   is article conjures up those
images. Yes, I understand that Auburn
Police will not release information re-garding
an investigation, but with the
many daily runners on West Longleaf,
shadowy lurkers are not the problem.
Finally, the reporter did not con-sult
with any of the properties on
West Longleaf, particularly the two
pictured, University Heights and Uni-versity
Village.   e managers of these
properties were given no opportuni-ty
to defend their security. Any parent
who may pick up   e Plainsman on
a campus visit would see this article
and count these complexes out, when
they are both wonderful places to live,
simply because of poor reporting.
How is that fair to their business?
  e Plainsman should be support-ing
Auburn businesses.
I am a proud, three-year resident
of University Heights. I have never
felt unsafe or threatened here. I walk
along West Longleaf on a regular ba-sis,
and I am passed by multiple Au-burn
Police Department cars, so this
"low patrol" mentioned in the article
is blatantly false. I read   e Plainsman
crime reports and the OA News crime
reports, and I see reports of theft all
over the city
Heads up, people are stupid and
they get desperate and think stealing
is the way to go. It doesn't really mat-ter
where you live.
Basically, I want The Plainsman
sta· , other residents on West Long-leaf,
other Auburn students and my
wonderful managerial sta· to know
that any of the apartments or hous-es
on West Longleaf are a great place
to live.

Dear Telfair Peet   eater,
In attempting to see the ¸ rst pro-duction
of this theater season, I
found the entire process to be a
profoundly frustrating experience.
It was harder to get a ticket to this
show than a popular Broadway play.
  ere was no reservation option
available to students, neither online
nor at the ticket window. And what’s
more, there were no ticket scalpers
hawking tickets outside, 10 minutes
before the show, or an after-market
where the highest bidder could lay
claim to one of these truly elusive
tickets in advance.
I made three attempts to see the
show and each time, due to the com-bination
of a lack of available tickets
and an ill-conceived ticketing reser-vation
process, I was unable, along
with a good number of other frus-trated
students, to see the perfor-mance
on any of those nights.
Might I o· er a few points of per-spective
from where I stand as well
as a suggestion or two on how to
possibly make the experience of see-ing
a performance at your hall more
accessible to students?
To be clear, I am happy to see that
there is a lively interest in the theater
arts and that each and every night of
the “Nickel and Dimed” run was sold
out–that is a good thing no matter
how you slice it.
But I find it disappointing that
the theater ¸ rst chooses to value the
prospect of selling each and every
seat before then considering the im-pact
of how that might “crowd-out”
the student body from seeing their
peers perform on stage.
I understand that funding is al-ways
at the top of the list of priori-ties.
I understand that to contin-ue
to put on performances and im-prove
the quality of future produc-tions,
money needs to come from
somewhere, but I think it is worth
reminding the theater that it is a uni-versity
theater.
It should seek to serve both the
paying public as well as its students,
even if the economic bottom line is
subject to a haircut.
It is also worth noting that stu-dents,
in e· ect, through tuition, ad-ditional
registration fees and the
like, subsidize the cost of operating
facilities like the Telfair Peet   eater,
particularly us “out-of-staters.”   e
fact that the structure of your tick-et
reservation process is such that
as students who would like to see a
performance, free of charge, we are
left to hope and pray that all the
seats are not sold out so that we may
have a chance to possibly get a trick-le
down ticket (I’m pretty sure Barba-ra
Ehrenreich would object).
Asking students to show up two
hours before that night’s production
to simply put their name on a list
and wait around in hopes that there
are enough no-shows by the start of
the performance so that their num-ber
can be called is not only an inef-
¸ cient strategy from a production
standpoint, but it makes the stu-dents
feel like second-class theater
goers.
  is is poor community relations
management and they should know
better.
I propose that the theater set
aside a certain number of seats for
students for each performance—
available through an online reser-vation
process—ensuring that a stu-dent
who is interested in seeing a
play at the Telfair Peet   eater will
eventually have a chance to do so. A
major issue with the way this most
recent performance schedule was
handled was that there was no con-sideration
for students who kept try-ing,
night after night, to see the play.
  ere was no carry over for those
students who had put their names
on the “stand-by” list but were not
fortunate enough to have their name
called at the last minute for that
night’s show. If you happened to be
number 14 on the list and there were
only 13 no shows, your name would
not then be placed at the top of the
list for the following night’s show,
you would have to roll the dice all
over again the next night.
If the Telfair Peet Theater is in-terested
in serving the student pop-ulation
to the greatest of its abili-ties
and is serious about its commit-ment
to enriching our understand-ing
and appreciation of theater, in-stead
of trying to capture every po-tential
nickel and dime, they should
consider the value of setting aside a
designated number of seats for stu-dents
for each performance so that
we too may enjoy a night out at the
theater without feeling like chumps.

It requires the following items:
- One grill
- One keg
- One football game
- One backyard full of the people you love.
I had the pleasure of going to my ¸ rst o -
cial tailgate for the Auburn/LSU matchup, and
as I was welcomed into a lively backyard with
hugs and smiles, I decided it was something that
needed to be properly documented.
An explanation of the culture tailgating can
only be properly done through the empirical.
Close your eyes and imagine the following: the
sound of candid laughter, blaring iHomes and
shouted count-o· s for keg-stands; the sight of
a crowded beer pong/flip-cup table; and the
scent of barbecue and sweet jambalaya tinging
an perfect day.
Believe me, for a word that is thrown around
as recklessly as a football, it was a perfect Satur-day
afternoon, with all the Aubeauties and LS-Cuties
looking absolutely exquisite.
But I digress.
Orange, blue and gold-adorned people
walked their dogs down Magnolia, kids and
babies with Auburn and LSU face paint threw
around a football and even a few hostile jeers
from diehard fans were everywhere—all in good
sport though.
As I watched generations of families and
friends that I consider as my own kinfolk ral-ly
together for this three-or-so hour game of
strength and endurance–the endurance is key,
for at this point, it’s safe to say, we had been
drinking—I remember sitting at a table and
talking to one of my good friends from LSU, who
had traveled all the way down for the weekend
along with his family and many of his friends,
that even if you were not a big football fan, you
have to admit that you couldn’t help but be
swept up in this ancient and festive novelty we
know as the tailgate.
Only in America.
I say only in America because nowhere else
will you witness people devoted to their colle-giate
teams take time and pride to just kick back
and watch, as one of my friends called it, “the
best spectator sport.”
Coming from the perspective of a multicul-tural
household, my parents never had experi-ences
like this when they were growing up in In-dia.
I remember trying to explain to my mom ex-actly
what a tailgate consisted of, but I realized
to truly know is to be here. To be walking down
Glenn and see people comfortably camped on
the side of the road, with their TV generators
and beers in hand, screaming at pass-interfer-ence
calls. It’s comforting to know that in a so-ciety
where our future looks more unsure by
the minute that we can still take time out of our
week and appreciate the simplicity and spirit of
a tailgate.
I remember one of my teachers last semes-ter
talking about the working culture of Amer-ica.
From establishments being open 24 hours
a day to working a 60-hour week and only get-ting
paid for 40, we are constantly taught by so-ciety
and culture to be working—to be indepen-dent—
that not constantly earning money is ir-relevant.
Whereas in countries such as Spain,
they indulge in siestas and take time out of the
day to shut down, relax and recuperate.
Obviously, these siestas have their advantag-es
and disadvantages, but I do believe we have
our own versions of siestas, and they are known
as tailgates. So come down here, join your fami-ly
and bring a couple of chairs.

The presidential election is less
than a month away, which means
it’s time for the candidates to get se-rious
How do presidential candidates
get serious?   ey have debates.
Over the past year, they have
been taking cheap shots at each
other through attack ads and cam-paign
speeches, but now they get the
chance to meet face to face. It will be
a match of wits and political rheto-ric.
Two men enter; one man leaves.
Two more presidential debates
will happen over the next three
weeks, and we’re aready teeming
with boredom .
Don’t get us wrong, we de¸ nite-ly
care who wins—a lot is at stake
this time around. The economy is
down, unemployment is up, Hon-ey
Boo Boo has a TV show and our
national mood is somewhere be-tween
bummed-out and clinically
depressed.
Yet we can’t help but roll our eyes
at the idea of two political automa-tons
repeating the same tired catch
phrases. Even if you believe in every-thing
they say, it’s all just a bit repeti-tive
and arti¸ cial.
President Barack Obama and
Governor Mitt Romney couldn’t be
any more di· erent, but all their pan-dering
is starting to sound the same.
We could really use some candor
and a fresh point of view , which are
two things in short supply during an
election year. If only they weren’t so
focused on their media presence and
could have an actual, intelligent de-bate
on the issues that matter most.
Because this editorial goes to
print before the first debate, we
can only speculate on the amount
of mundane drivel they will lay on
the public. We hope that maybe
Obama will break character and let
the world know how tired he is be-ing
called a Muslim socialist. Maybe
Romney will say he is tired of being
called a non-feeling aristocrat.
Although, all we can really hope
for is a some chuckle-worthy ga· es.
America seems to be more divid-ed
than ever right now. Conserva-tives
and liberals are turning their
arbitrary political labels into an ex-cuse
for hatred.
We need to drastically change our
political process by shunning those
politicians who wish to stick to the
old script of rhetoric and embrac-ing
those who talk about legitimate
issues.   at won’t happen with this
election, but we can start the ball
rolling now. Vote for whichever can-didate
you want to, but don’t think
they will ever be honest with you.

On Monday, Oct. 1, the
East Alabama Medical Cen-ter’s
Health Resource Center
in Opelika hosted a speaker
whose focus on the effects of
depression and suicide helped
show the importance of sup-port
groups in the community.
Special guest Doris Smith
shared her story with the au-dience
in hopes it would save
a life or inspire a life that has
been touched by suicide.
Smith, of Atlanta, lost her
only son Oct. 4, 1992 to sui-cide.
His name was Mark.
Smith said 27-year-old
Mark was a multi-talented
and very active person who
seemed to have it all togeth-er.
However, Smith did not
know her son was the victim
of a mental illness she now
believes to have been undiag-nosed
and untreated depres-sion.
She had always thought
Mark was shy and reserved,
but never suspected he was
depressed.
Just days after finding Mark
with a self inflicted gunshot
wound to the head Sept. 30,
she lost him to brain swelling
caused by the wound. Smith
donated all of his organs.
Although she lost her only
son, she did not lose her pur-pose.
She has now become an
advocate for organ donations,
suicide and bereavement sup-port
groups, as well as cam-paigning
against clinical de-pression,
particularly in the
African American commu-nity
where, after her loss, she
faced many stigmas that sug-gested
suicide and depression
discriminated based on differ-ent
factors.
Doris Smith said she wants
Mark’s life to be a lesson to all
that suicide and depression
do not discriminate against
race, age, economic status, ed-ucation
or gender. She said it
is important for people to un-derstand
clinical depression
is a serious illness and that
learning the signs and symp-toms
can put a stop to this dis-ease
and put an end to the loss
of lives.
“I did not know that depres-sion
is a disease and can be
treated,” Smith said. “I did not
know that you could get coun-seling
and treatment.”
Smith said people should
know what resources are
available for them in their
community and utilize them
if needed.
Although not all depressed
people are suicidal, Smith said
90 percent of people who com-mit
suicide have a diagnosable
and treatable psychiatric ill-ness
such as depression. In sit-uations
such as these, inter-vention
can be the difference
between life and death, so
people should take the time to
know the signs of depression,
such as changes in eating or
sleeping patterns, withdrawal
from family and friends, mood
changes and loss of interests
in favorite activities.
Fifty to 75 percent of all sui-cidal
people give some warn-ing
of their intentions to
friends and families, so ev-ery
word should be taken se-riously.
At Auburn University, stu-dents
can make an appoint-ment
or drop by Student
Counseling Services in the Au-burn
University Medical Clin-ic
located on Lem Morrison.
There is no charge for counsel-ing
center services.
When people are experienc-ing
symptoms of depression, it
is important for them to know
they are not alone, and there is
someone they can talk to.
Those who have been
touched by suicide or would
like to become an advocate of
anti-depression and suicide
campaigns can visit the Amer-ican
Foundation for Suicide
Prevention (AFSP) website at
www.afsp.org and sign up to
participate in an “Out of the
Darkness Walk.”
These walks are 2–5 miles
in communities nationwide to
help raise funds to treat, edu-cate
and research clinical ill-nesses
that lead to suicide.
Beginning Spring 2013,
campus organizations can
start “Out of the Darkness”
campus walks by visiting
www.campuswalks.org and
registering their teams.
Community speaker stands up against suicide

Doris Smith of Atlanta spoke at East Alabama Medical Center Oct. 1 about the impotance of suicide awareness. Smith, who lost her own son
to suicide, explained the signs and effects of suicide and depression and described ways community members can get involved in anti-de-pression
and suicide campaigns.

The Lee County Humane
Society’s Woofstock turned 84
in dog years last Saturday, Oct.
29, with 2012 being its 12th
year at Kiesel Park promoting
the peace, love and spaying or
neutering of all K-9 kind.
Crowds of both people and
dogs were gathered at the an-nual
event, each with their
own form of entertainment;
from live music, to bathing ar-eas
and all of the information
booths, vendors and inflatable
playgrounds in between.
As a shelter, the LCHS’s
main goals are to rescue an-imals
and provide them for
adoption while aiding in the
elimination of pet overpopu-lation
and raising awareness
about the issue.
The LCHS began the Woofs-tock
event in 2000.
“Our main objective is just
to celebrate our mission, and
to celebrate people and their
dogs, and their love of dogs ,
and especially those who have
adopted from our shelter,” said
Stacee Peer, LCHS’s director of
public relations.
“It’s really special to us for
our staff to be able to come
out, and our board members
to be able to come out, and
see all of the animals who have
gotten a home because of our
shelter, here at the park.”
Woofstock serves as a sort
of reunion for staff members
and those dogs who were
previously adopted from the
LCHS, but it also provides an
opportunity for dogs current-ly
being housed at the shelter.
According to Peer, sev-en
dogs were brought to the
event, which began at 9 a.m. By
2 p.m., five had been adopted.
“We’re doing more adop-tions
out here than we normal-ly
do,” said Bobbie Yeo, execu-tive
director of LCHS. “We do
adoption events out at Petco
pretty regularly on Saturdays
and we’ll adopt two to four on
a good weekend.”
As a main supplier of ani-mals
to the LCHS, the city of
Auburn’s Animal Control Di-vision
had a tent set up at
Woofstock in an effort to raise
awareness about the servic-es
they provide, city ordi-nances
and preventative mea-sures
that can be taken toward
greater pet safety.
“If people’s dogs that are
running at large, or what have
you, would have tags on, we
could get them home to you,”
said Conan DeVine, lead ani-mal
control officer.
“And that’s our choice, we
would rather bring them home
than take them to the Humane
Society and stress the animal
out or overwhelm the shelter,”
The animal control divi-sion
picks up nearly 1,000 dogs
each year. The amount it deals
with varies seasonally.
The beginning and end of
semesters bring higher num-bers
as new students come to
Auburn with their pets and
previous students leave, often
leaving them behind, Devine
said.
The “Fixit Waggin’” was also
parked at Woofstock this year.
The Fixit Waggin’ is a service
provided by the Alabama An-imal
Alliance Spay/Neuter
Clinic.
Once a month the “waggin,”
a large moving-truck, is driv-en
to Auburn from the clin-ic’s
location in Montgomery.
At 7 a.m. the truck is parked
at Surfside Waterpark to pick
up the animals that have been
scheduled to be spayed or neu-tered.
They are then driven to
the clinic and brought back to
Auburn at 5 p.m.
“We usually get back to our
clinic about 8, 8:15, finish sur-gery
around 1 in the after-noon,
so that they can have
about three, or three-and-a-half
hours to recover from the
surgery,” said Dewey Phillips
a veterinary technician at the
clinic. “Then we load them up
and bring them back.”
Information on how to
adopt a pet, foster a pet, do-nate
or volunteer at the LCHS
can be found at its website,
leecountyhumane.org.

The combination of pol-itics
and fine arts is once
again the topic of discussion
at Jule Collins Smith Muse-um
of Fine Art.
Thursday, Oct. 4 at 5:30
p.m., the “Life Interrupted”
film series will have a screen-ing
of “Cradle Will Rock.”
“This film, which was
made in 1999, is about a
1930s event that actually
took place,” said Scott Bish-op,
curator of education at
the museum. “A musical
drama, which is quite left-ist,
is censored and attempts
made to stop its production.
There’s a strong parallel be-tween
politics and culture in
the film.”
Focused on censorship
and the arts, “Cradle Will
Rock” was written and di-rected
by Tim Robbins and
features performances from
Hank Azaria, Joan Cusack,
John Cusack, Bill Murray and
Susan Sarandon.
Chase Bringardner, assis-tant
professor of theatre, will
be introducing the film and
leading the discussion after
the showing.
The “Life Interrupted”
film series ties in with the
current exhibition at Jule
Collins Smith Museum of
Fine Art, “Art Interrupted.”
“’Life Interrupted is tied
in thematically with ‘Art In-terrupted,’”
said Charlotte
Hendrix, communications
and marketing specialist at
JCSM. “‘Art Interrupted’ is
our current exhibition of 107
of the original 117 works of
‘Advancing American Art.’”
Bishop said the works that
made up “Advancing Ameri-can
Art” were chosen to be
sent abroad and represent
and demonstrate “American
ascendency and cultural di-plomacy.”
However after a contro-versy
surrounding the “Ad-vancing
American Art” exhi-bition,
it was closed early.
“‘Advancing American Art’
was assembled by the State
Department in 1946 and was
intended to tour interna-tionally.”
Hendrix said. “But
after criticism from politi-cians
it was revoked.”
Both the exhibition and
the film demonstrate the
power and influence the arts
can have on the political at-mosphere
of the time peri-od.
Through both the series
and the exhibition, JCSM is
working to demonstrate the
impact of art’s influence in
politics and culture.
“It’s about modernism; it’s
about the political and cul-tural
spirit of the time,” Bish-op
said.
Bishop said JCSM wel-comes
visitors to view the
exhibition every day for free,
and she recommends taking
the time to view the exhibi-tion
before the film showing.
“The galleries are open
until 5 o’clock, and we’re
open every day of the week,”
Bishop said. “It’s a big exhi-bition
that’s worth coming
over and spending time hav-ing
a look at.”
The films that are part of
the “Life Interrupted” film
series are specifically chosen
to demonstrate the strong
connection and influence
art can have in society.
“All of the films deal with
sort of that connection be-tween
politics and art,” Hen-drix
said.
Admission to the show-ing
is free, and desserts and
drinks will be provided by
the JCSM café, Bishop said.
The next film in the “Life
Interrupted” series will play
next week, Thursday, Oct. 11.
“Intruder in the Dust” will be
shown at 5:30 p.m.
“Art Interrupted” remains
at JCSM until Jan. 5, 2013,
and JCMS is open Monday
through Friday 8:30 a.m.–
4:45 p.m. and Saturday 10
a.m.–4:45 p.m.

  e Auburn Police Depart-ment
kicked o  the 2012 Toys
for Tots drive Tuesday, Oct. 2.
“  e Toys for Tots program
has been around for a real long
time,” said Auburn Police Capt.
Tom Stofer. “It’s for a real wor-thy
cause. It’s to bene  t chil-dren
that are no so fortunate
as we are during the holiday
season.”
  ey toys, which go to chil-dren
in the local area ages 3–8,
can be dropped o  at any Au-burn
Police Station and Au-burn
Fire Station.
Uncle Bob’s Self Storage is
also a drop o  location for the
Toys for Tots toy drive after of-fering
two of their locations.
The Uncle Bob’s locations at
1231 Gatewood Dr. and 2020 S.
College St. are accepting toys.
“  ey have one location on
the north side of town and a
location on the south side of
town, so they’re convenient
drop o  spots,” Stofer said. “So
besides the   re departments
and the police department
here in town, you can certain-ly
use the Uncle Bob’s drop o 
points.”
All of the unwrapped toys
collected for the Toys for Tots
toy drive will be organized into
age appropriate categories be-fore
distribution. Also, all toys
donated must be new.
The original Toys for Tots
toy drive started in 1947 by
Maj. Bill Hendricks, a member
of the U.S. Marine Corps. Hen-dricks
and his group of Marine
reservists collected more than
5,000 toys for distribution in
Los Angeles, Calif. according
to the Toys for Tots website.
  e Lee County chapter of
Toys for Tots is one of more
than 700 across the country.
“  e Toys for Tots program
is a large program, and we
pitch in to do our part,” Stofer
said.
To register a child to re-ceive
a toy, persons must vis-it
the Auburn Police Division
on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
from 10 a.m.–11 a.m. Parents
or guardians must bring a pic-ture
ID, the child’s social secu-rity
card, birth certi  cate and
two of the following: current
water bill, current electric bill
or a lease or rental agreement.
Stofer said it is important to
help needy children in the area
because the current economic
situation might mean they do
not receive any presents dur-ing
the holiday season with-out
help.
“Especially during these
tough economic times, it is
even harder for some families
to provide for their children
during the holiday season,
so this is just a good way that
citizens can pitch in and help
needy children at this time of
year,” Stofer said.
Registration ends Nov. 14,
but gifts can be donated until
a week before Christmas.
“  e week before Christmas
is when we actually start deliv-ering
the gifts, so citizens can
donate gifts all the way up un-til
that time,” Stofer said. “  at
is when the gifts will be distrib-uted
to needy children.”
Volunteers from the   re de-partment
and police depart-ment
organize the donated
gifts into age-appropriate cat-egories
before delivery at that
time and then distributing
them.
“  e best way citizens can
help us is simply by bringing
in a new, unwrapped gift, and
we’ll handle it from there,”
Stofer said.
Toys for Tots gets the holidays started early

Auburn in the NFL
Two one-win teams will clash Sat-urday
when Arkansas visits Jordan-
Hare Stadium to play SEC West rival
Auburn.
Both teams have had a sub-par year
to date, and each will be in search for
its   rst conference victory.   e Razor-backs
and Tigers are a combined 0-4
in conference play.
In recent years, the Auburn vs. Ar-kansas
rivalry has helped decide who
would win the Western division, but
in this particular meeting, it may de-cide
which team is set to   nish last.
Granted, it is not even halfway
through the college football season,
but an 0-3 record to begin SEC play
does not bode well for any team.
  e game will feature quarterbacks
Tyler Wilson and Kiehl Frazier facing
o  in what will likely be an o  ensive
slugfest.
Both defenses are weak when com-pared
to the rest of the SEC, and each
will have its hands full with the op-posing
o  ense.
  e Arkansas defense has given up
around 510 yards a game this season
and almost 350 of those are through
the air.
In its two SEC games, the team has
scored a whopping 10 points to its op-ponents’
110.
Auburn has not been spectacular
on defense either, but it isn’t giving
up astonishing yardage and points
like Arkansas.   rough its two SEC
games, Auburn has given up 40 points
while scoring only 20.
  e Tigers only gave up 10 defen-sive
points to LSU in a game that
could have gone either way, and the
team will need to take that momen-tum
and use it against quarterback
Tyler Wilson and his wide receivers.
While the Razorback defense has
had some trouble, the o  ense averag-es
more than 400 yards a game.
Auburn’s o  ense, meanwhile, aver-ages
just under 300 yards a game, and
has sputtered and completely stalled
at times.
It’s di  cult to judge how a game
between teams that are underachiev-ing
will turn out, but the Tigers have
one big thing going for them: coach-ing.
With the loss of Bobby Petrino this
o  season, Arkansas was dealt a mas-sive
blow to its seasonal expectations.
  e Razorbacks are learning that it is
almost impossible to replace a coach-ing
power such as Petrino in a short
time. While the team should be im-proving
at this time of the year, it is al-most
as if they are getting worse.
Auburn, on the other hand, is vis-ibly
improving every game. It’s been
said a hundred times, but the Tigers
are young, and young players require
and thrive under good coaching.
Gene Chizik and his sta  must be
giving the team just that, because the
defense has noticeably improved, and
so has Kiehl Frazier.
Frazier may not be a top SEC quar-terback,
but with every game he gets
better, and he will look to prove it
against the weak Arkansas defense
this weekend.
Kicko  will be at 11 a.m. Saturday,
Oct. 6 on ESPN 2.
COURTESY OF TODD VAN EMST
Kiehl Frazier was used sparingly in a backup/wildcat role when the Tigers faced Arkansas in 2011.
Worst of the West
Wallace holds promise of pro-duction.
Jonathan Wallace is barely five
months out of high school, but he’s
shown Auburn’s team and fans he
can hang with the big guys.
It’s rare to see a true-freshman
quarterback leading a team. It’s
even more rare for that same true-freshman
to make his debut during
prime time on ESPN against the No.
2 team in the nation.
Wallace did just that on Sept. 22,
and he did it well.
He had 15 yards on three carries
and two key   rst downs after com-ing
in as the wildcat quarterback.
“It’s great,” Wallace said when
asked about his role in the game.
“We’re a team. We’re going to do
whatever we can to get some Ws.
Just being able to help the team out,
it’s big.”
Despite playing a limited role,
Wallace proved to the nation what
the coaches already knew: he can be
an o  ensive threat in a defensively
stout SEC.
“Jonathan has made a pretty con-sistent
track in terms of improve-ment
out of practice, and we like his
poise,” said coach Gene Chizik. “He
is an extremely intelligent young
man when it comes to the game of
football. He was very successful in
high school with his team, and he
earned the right to play.   at is as
simple as I can put it, and he will
continue to earn the right to play
some more.
Chizik said he was proud of the
young quarterback’s play during
the LSU game. Wallace was able to
do what was asked and not turn the
ball over, qualities Chizik has said
he values in quarterbacks.
“It is tough getting in there for the
  rst time in a game like this and be-ing
productive,” Chizik said.
The 6-foot-2-inch, 197-pound
quarterback knows how important
the position is, dating back to his
days as a Central-Phenix City Blue
Devil. In his senior season he led
his team to a 12-2 season and the
semi  nals of the 6A AHSAA play-o
  s, passing for 1,761 yards and 12
touchdowns and running for anoth-er
891 yards and 28 touchdowns.
Wallace understands he isn’t ex-pected
to produce similar numbers
in his current role, but that hasn’t
deterred him from learning the of-fense
and establishing himself as a
team leader.
“That’s just something that I
have to do in being one of those
guys that’s behind them,” Wallace
said. “I have to be willing to work
hard when I’m not the ‘guy.’ I have to
work hard and play with them and
know what’s going on in case some-thing
happens. I always have to stay
ready.”
Chizik and the coaching staff
have praised Wallace’s work ethic
and maturity since he   rst came to
the Plains.
“He’s a very con  dent young guy,”
Chizik said. “He picks things up well.
He makes good decisions. He’s a
tough kid. All of those things togeth-er
gave us con  dence that he could
get into a game and be productive.”
If last Saturday’s game is any in-dication,
that respect is only going
to grow.

Wide receiver Quan Bray has been
suspended as a result of his arrest in
Georgia last weekend for violating his
driver’s permit.
Bray was stopped in Carrolton, Ga.
on Sept. 28 for excessively loud music
and had an open container of alcohol
in his car.
Bray, however, was not drunk, ac-cording
to Captain Swain Harris of
the University of West Georgia Police
Department.
Similar to past player suspensions
such as center Reese Dismukes’, Gene
Chizik did not reveal the length of
Bray’s suspension.
Bray is the team’s third-leading re-ceiver
behind seniors Emory Blake
and Philip Lutzenkirchen
He has 11 catches for 82 yards on
the season and is also the team’s pri-mary
punt returner, with   ve returns
for 23 yards and one kicko  return for
21 yards.
No other wide receiver has topped
two catches this season.
Running back Onterio McCalebb
will remain a receiving threat out of
the back  eld and has seven catches
this season.
Sophomore Trovon Reed and
freshman Sammie Coates will like-ly
vie for the job outside, but neither
has been spectacular this season.
Coates has two catches for 34
yards, but the bulk of that was the 33-
yard touchdown he caught against
the University of Louisiana at Mon-roe.
Reed has one catch for 17 yards,
but will likely return punts this week.
Senior Travante Stallworth is also
in the mix, but has one catch for 8
yards this season and has never man-aged
to crack the starting lineup dur-ing
his career at Auburn.

The Auburn women’s soc-cer
team added two confer-ence
wins Friday and Sunday,
winning 4-2 vs. South Carolina
and 1-0 vs. Ole Miss.
Despite going down 2-0 in
the 20th minute against South
Carolina, great team play
sparked an Auburn comeback.
  e Tigers scored four straight
goals to get the victory.
Both of South Carolina’s ear-ly
goals came o  set pieces.
  e Gamecocks’ junior for-ward
Danielle Au scored her
  rst in the 14th minute with a
nice   nish from 10 yards out.
Au grabbed her second of
the match just six minutes
later when she knocked a re-bound
off the crossbar into
the net following a corner kick.
The Auburn comeback
started when junior defend-er
Bianca Sierra converted a
spot kick in the 35th minute,
bringing the Tigers within a
goal, 2-1.
It was Sierra’s third goal of
the season and the fourth of
her career.   e referee award-ed
the Tigers the penalty after
freshman forward Alexa Allen
was brought down in the box
after a great individual dribble.
  e equalizer came 13 min-utes
into the second half from
freshman midfielder Natalie
Donaldson.   e Tigers had a
good buildup, ending with ju-nior
mid  elder Maddie Barnes
laying it o  to Donaldson, who
had a low-line drive de¦ ected
into the net from 20 yards out.
  e Tigers took the lead in
the 65th minute when fresh-man
defender Kala Faulkner
beat her defender one on one
and powered a shot into the
near post past South Carolina
sophomore goalkeeper Sabri-na
D’Angelo.
Sophomore forward Tatiana
Coleman’s wonder strike in the
76th minute sealed the victory
for the Tigers. Coleman blast-ed
a shot from 25 yards out
into the right upper 90.
“For us to be able to come
from behind and put four goals
on the scoreboard against a
quality team like South Caro-lina
really shows the potential
of this team,” said coach Karen
Hoppa.
Coleman came through for
the Auburn Tigers yet again
Sunday evening, scoring the
only goal of the match, win-ning
1-0 over Ole Miss.
She has scored in each of
her last three matches, push-ing
her goal tally to four this
season.
Despite Ole Miss controlling
much of the possession in the
second half, senior goalkeeper
Amy Howard and the Auburn
defenders played a fantastic
game and kept a clean sheet. It
was Howard’s third clean sheet
of the season and the 18th of
her career.
Ole Miss (9-4-0, 2-4-0 SEC)
came close to breaking the 0-0
tie in the 48th minute when a
header in the box struck the
crossbar, before it was cleared
away by Auburn defenders.
Auburn (7-6-0, 3-3-0 SEC)
found a great chance to go
ahead in the 72nd minute
when Allen   red a shot from
the top of the 18-yard box just
wide of the post.
In the 75th minute, Cole-man
collected a great ball
from over the top, but Ole Miss
sophomore goalkeeper Kelley
McCormick rushed o  her line
to deny Auburn the lead.
A minute later, Auburn got
its revenge when junior mid-
  elder Maddie Barnes played
a through ball on the left to
Coleman, who slid it past Ole
Miss’ McCormick inside the
near post.
Hoppa was happy with the
Tigers’ team e  ort and getting
back to a .500 record in confer-ence
play.
“This game was critical,”
Hoppa said. “  ey are a great
team and that makes this an
incredible result for us. This
helps us in the SEC standings
and it helps us in the overall
standings. We are back to hav-ing
a winning record, which is
critical for post-season con-cerns.”
Auburn will take on Missis-sippi
State Friday, Oct. 5, and
Tennessee Sunday, Oct. 7, at
the Auburn Soccer Complex.

The Auburn men’s and
women’s cross country team
soared into the 2012 season
with three consecutive wins
at the Trojan Invite, the Au-burn
Invite and the Azalea
City Classic, making them an
undefeated team.
Kane Grimster, a sopho-more
on the men’s team ma-joring
in journalism, was
named SEC runner of the
week Tuesday, Sept. 11.
Grimster came in first
place at the 6K Auburn In-vitational,
the team’s only
home meet of the year.
This was the second time
Grimster individually won
first place and the third time
he had placed in the top 10 in
his career.
Although this was the first
race of the season for him, he
was able to successfully com-pete
at the meet and acquire
the sixth-best time in the
country.
At the Azalea City Classic
on Saturday, Sept. 15, host-ed
by the University of South
Alabama in Mobile, all of the
men’s runners finished in the
top eight, and sophomores
Niklas Buhner and Grimster
finished in the top three.
Auburn came in first place
at the classic, beating South
Alabama by 22 points, and
four of the men broke per-sonal
records.
“The team is a lot stron-ger
than last year’s,” Grimster
said. “We graduated two se-niors,
so we have a lot of re-turning
runners who have
made large improvements
from last year.”
At the classic, the wom-en’s
team finished in the top
12. Lizzie Briasco, a junior in
nutrition-dietetics, finished
12th.
“I feel really good about
the team,” Briasco said.
Compared to last year, the
team had a lot more depth
between the freshmen and
the returners with valuable
experience, she said.
Briasco was confident to
say overall she was pleased
with the team dynamic and
attitude this year.
“I think we’re on the right
road to being the most valu-able
team in the SEC,” Brias-co
said. “This weekend will
be the most competitive race
so far. There are a lot of big-named
schools, so it’ll be one
of those races where we’ll fo-cus
on personal records.”
The team had its first loss
at the 11th Annual Greater
Louisville Classic hosted by
the University of Louisville at
E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park
Saturday Sept. 29.
The men finished 13th and
the women 26th.
“This was our first meet
against national ranked
teams,” said head coach
Mark Carroll.
Although they couldn’t
keep the undefeated streak
alive, they still finished
strongly, he said.
“We’ll just have to move
forward from here,” Carroll
said. “There will be more in-tense
workouts as we head to
SEC’s and regionals.”
Grimster is looking for-ward
to competition of the
SEC championship meet as
well, then onto the regional
meet with the goal of quali-fying
for nationals, she said.

Senior Blanche Alverson
will soon graduate and just
recently added a 2012 SGA
Homecoming Top 5 nomina-tion
to her lengthy list of acco-lades.
Still, with the 2012 season
soon to be underway, Alver-son’s
main focus remains on
her team
“Blanche is the biggest lead-er
on the team,” freshman for-ward/
center Tra’cee Tanner
said. “We love her to death.
She’s like our team mom. We
just look up to her and listen to
whatever she has to say.”
She began her senior season
by starting all four games dur-ing
the team’s summer Aus-tralian
Tour and averaged 17.5
points per game during the
visit.
Fall practices are now un-derway.
Now in her last sea-son,
Alverson is already look-ing
ahead to March Madness.
“As a team we have all the
expectations to just make the
NCAA tournament and do bet-ter
than we did last year,” Al-verson
said. “I really have high
hopes for us, and we have great
energy and great team chemis-try
this year, which is the best
team chemistry we’ve had
since I’ve been here.”
Last season, as a junior, she
was the first Auburn women’s
basketball player to be named
the SEC Scholar Athlete of the
Year. She was also named to
the Capital One Academic All-
District First Team, selected to
the SEC Academic Honor Roll
and SEC Community Service
Team for her Ballin’ for Books
campaign.
This year, Alverson is one of
four seniors on the team, but
her success and leadership
qualities draw the graditude of
her teammates.
“She is a great leader,” said
guard Courtney Strain, a red-shirt
sophomore in exercise
science. “She always informs
us of everything. She is so in-telligent.
She is a great friend
as well. She is always there for
each one of us.”
For three years, Alverson
and Strain have played basket-ball
together. While Strain was
in seventh grade, she played
with Alverson on a travel bas-ketball
team.
“We’ve worked so hard in
practice and we just try to
achieve every goal that we
have,” Tanner said. “Our goal
for conditioning was to be the
best conditioned team in the
country and we pushed every
day to try to achieve that. So
we try to achieve every goal we
set forth.”
Tanner said this is her first
year playing with Alverson, but
she has known her for about
three years through her sister.
The only time they have
played with each other was the
tournament in Australia.
The team officially began
the season Monday, Oct. 1 in
the Auburn Arena practice fa-cility.
This season, Alverson will
play both forward and guard.
Alverson said the team had
good energy during practice
and already seems hungry to
compete.
“I think we have high expec-tations,
and we are looking for-ward
to a good year,” Alverson
said.
Alverson also has a new
coach this year in Terri Will-liams-
Flournoy, and Alverson
said her coach is constructive-ly
critical.
“She has fun at practice and
makes us laugh, which is awe-some,”
Alverson said. “Our
practices are hard and tough,
but it’s fun too. We have a
good time.”
As for the homecoming
nomination, Alverson said she
was honored to be selected.
“I get to represent what I do
every day, so I am just excited
about it,” Alverson said.
Alverson’s main concern,
however, is still her team. The
senior hopes to pass, steal and
shoot her team into the NCAA
tournament.
“I just really want to be a
great team leader this year,”
Alverson said. “Seasons are
rocky. I just want to be there
for my teammates all year
long.”

A week in Auburn sports
Tennis- The men’s tennis team began the fall season with the three
day Silverado Resort & Spa College Tennis Invitational in Napa Val-ley
on Sept. 28. The team kicked off the season by winning 15 of their
16 matches. Auburn swept Saturday and Sunday, but sophomore Lu-kas
Ollert was dealt the team’s only loss by California Polytechnic State
University’s Marco Comuzza. Ollert won the first set 6-2, but Comuzza
came back to win the last two 6-3, 6-3. The team then travelled to Tul-sa,
Okla. for the ITA All-American Championships. Junior Daniel Co-chrane
lost in three sets to Oklahoma junior John Warden, but won his
consolation match 6-2, 6-1 over Stanford’s Matt Kandath. The women’s
team also began their All-American Championships and won four dou-bles
matches. Partners Jackie Kasler and Jen Pfeifler advanced to the
qualifying round, but lost a close match 8-9.
Equestrian- In Auburn’s first meet of the season, the No. 3
ranked Auburn equestrian team won a narrow victory over No.5 Okla-homa
State at the Auburn University Horse Center. The team won 10-9
after falling behind 5-4 at the break. Indy Roper, Jennifer Waxman and
Elizabeth Benson each earned an MVP award giving Auburn three of
the possible four available at the event. The team now looks to ride this
momentum into South Carolina where they take on the Gamecocks on
Thursday, Oct. 4.
Golf- Playing in the World Amateur Team Championship this past
weekend, Auburn junior Marta Sanz shot rounds of 73, 71, 72 and 72
to finish the tournament tied for 22nd at even par and help the Span-ish
team to a fifth place finish. The Auburn men’s golf team finished in
sixth at the Olympia Fields Invitational in Illinois. This is the second
consecutive top-10 finish for the No. 6 ranked team. The Tigers finished
the tournament with a 35-over 875 for the tournament. No. 8 Arkan-sas
won with a final score of 14-over. At the Ryder Cup, former Auburn
golfer Jason Dufner played in his first ever Cup in Medinah, Ill. Duf-ner
was a stalwart for the American team and won 3 of his four match-es.
His only loss came in Saturday’s fourball match when he and part-ner
Zach Johnson lost by one to Europe’s Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter.
Europe defeated the U.S. team for the second straight year with a score
of 14.5-13.5.
Softball- The fall schedule for softball has been announced. The
Tigers will play eight exhibition matches, two on each Thursday of Oc-tober,
at home. On Oct. 4, the team takes on Shelton State and Lurleen
B. Wallace Community College to begin the series of preseason games.
Chatanooga State, Snead State, Central Alabama, Southern Union, Pen-sacola,
and Faulkner State fill up the remainder of the games through-out
the month.

O  of a dirt road about   ve
miles down Highway 14 is a
place where smashing pump-kins
isn’t the headline band
for a grunge concert.
It's a chance for people
of all ages to participate in a
messy and challenging good
time.
On Thursday, Oct. 4, the
Foshee family’s Farmer in the
Dell Pumpkin Patch will open
for its fifth year and will be
open from noon until dusk
  ursday through Friday and
all day Saturday.   e gate will
open every day of the week
beginning Oct. 15.
Visitors often come in
groups to sift through the
vines to pick their own pump-kins
for holiday carving with
no entry fee.
Last year, more than 800
tour groups, including school
groups, birthday parties, so-rority
and fraternity swaps
and families of all sizes tail-gated
with tents and blankets,
took hayrides and enjoyed a
corn trough.
Groups can call ahead for
tables to be set up so they can
bring tools for carving the
pumpkins out by the patch
and avoid making a mess in-side.
Parents and teachers re-lax
on hay bales while stu-dents
of all ages choose their
pumpkins, with younger chil-dren
choosing from the small-est
and older children choos-ing
from the mid-sized pump-kins.
There is also a trebuchet
and a smaller slingshot where
participants can sling the
pumpkin of their choice.
“You can actually feel it in
the ground when it shakes,”
said Mark Foshee.
Fifteen to 20 pound pump-kins
of all shapes are avail-able
for purchase before be-ing
slung 100 yards from the
catapult.
“The weirder shaped they
are, the weirder they fly
through the air; and the more
symmetrical, the more evenly
they © y,” Foshee said.
Customers also really enjoy
the chicken pen at the patch,
said Hayden Foshee. Micah
Fern, a friend of the family,
performs a trick for custom-ers
where he makes a chicken
fall asleep in his hands.
Many student groups make
a day out of it by bringing
their lunch and rotating ac-tivities.
“We have families that
come every year, and it's neat
to see the children grow up,”
said Marie Foshee. “We tell
the children it’s like hunting
Easter eggs because you real-ly
gotta look for the pumpkins
among the vines.”
Marie said the family clips
a lot of the larger vines and
stickers that surround the
smaller pumpkins for the
smaller children.
22-year-old Luke Foshee
attends school in Tennessee
and helps with planting the
pumpkins and working at the
patch during his fall break. He
and his brother Mark thought
of the idea of the Farmer in
the Dell Pumpkin Patch after
viewing an episode of the tele-vision
show "Little People Big
World," where the cast sets up
a pumpkin patch.
“We wanted to be able to
grow things where people
could clip them o  the vines,
because usually the pumpkins
you buy for the holidays travel
from Atlanta,” Mark said. “It’s
cool to show how they grow
green and are orange when
you buy them.”
Last year’s biggest pump-kin
was 80 pounds, and this
year the Foshee boys’ goal is
to have at least one of their
pumpkins reach 100 pounds.
“They always come out
there to   nd the biggest one,”
Marie said.
Marie also said the family
usually grows more than they
sell, as not to disappoint any
customers toward the end of
the season.

The 19th annual Pope’s
Haunted Farm in Salem is
back with an all new 3-D
haunted house.
According to Troy Pope,
owner of Pope’s Haunted
Farm, guests will enter the
haunted house in 3-D glass-es
for the   ve-hour event.
“Everything is illuminated
with black lights and every-thing
is painted with © oures-cent
paints,” Pope said.
“  at’s what gives the e  ects;
the oranges and reds look
like they’re © oating, and the
blues look like they’re further
away. We play off that with
our scares, and we’re able to
pull o  a lot of illusions that
you can’t do in a regular dark
haunt.”
Pope’s Haunted Farm
opens Friday, Oct. 5, from
7:30-11:30 p.m. Eastern time
and will run until Oct. 31.
Past events like the haunt-ed
barn, forest and hayride
are also returning this year.
“  e scariest event would
probably be the barn or the
forest for college-aged stu-dents,”
Pope said. “  e hay-ride,
as far as overall atten-dance,
is the most popular.”
Pope said the preparation
for this large-scale event is
year-round.
“It basically takes the
month of November to get
packed up and put away,
and then we generally take
a month o  ,” Pope said. “  e
  rst of the year we start back
designing and making new
things and work all the way
up till this Friday.”
Tickets for Pope’s Haunt-ed
Farm are $12, and the 3-D
event is an extra $5.

The pursuit of off-campus dining: a guide for success
MELODY KITCHENS / INTRIGUE EDITOR
Katie Cornwell, sophomore in pre-business, continues the Nike short trend of today: Nike shorts paired with an oversized T-shirt and accessories like watches and bracelets.
With examples from 1977’s high-waisted
gym shorts and   tted tank
tops and 1995’s rollerblade and gym
shorts fad to 2001’s monogrammed
gym shorts, the infamous Nike
shorts and oversized T-shirt trend
of today is nothing new to Auburn.
It’s the choice of most girls on
campus, and as seen in 1984, the
trend also carried over to the
boys. Whether or not you want to
embrace it, it seems it’s here to stay.
All photos courtesy of   e Glomerata.
We’re only halfway through
the semester, but I have al-ready
exhausted my dining
options around town.
I cannot bring myself to eat
even one more   atbread from
Village dining, and if I go into
Chipotle one more time, my
a  nity for burritos will   nal-ly
have reached the level of ad-diction.
So, in pursuit of something
new, I’m making it a person-al
goal to eat at every single
restaurant in the greater Au-burn/
Opelika area before I
graduate, and I’m inviting you
to join me.
  is is a detailed guide to
our   rst destination.
Location: Whispering
Oaks Bed & Breakfast Res-taurant
in Opelika. Housed
in a sprawling old plantation
house, Whispering Oaks is
Southern home cooking at its
finest. With food so mouth-watering
you’ll think your ma-ma’s
in the kitchen, it’s a break
from the ramen-noodle squa-lor
of college life.
Our attire: Vintage hats,
soft curls, lace slips, cot-ton
dresses and red lips. For
the fellas: suspenders, vests,
tweed blazers, worn-leath-er
boots, damp hair neat-ly
combed and parted and a
pocket knife. Other accesso-ries
include fresh-cut flow-ers,
gold-leaf Bibles and jew-elry
passed down from our
great-grandmothers. Each of
us should have a small silver
blade concealed in the sole of
our shoe, just to provide an air
of intrigue.
Assumed identities: We
will refuse to acknowledge
that this is not, in fact, an-tebellum-
era South. We will
speak in honeyed, drawling
southern accents and insist
on retiring to the front porch.
We will persistently overuse
phrases such as “I do declare”
and “My stars!”   e gentlemen
will argue gruffly about pol-itics.
  e ladies will faint fre-quently,
preferably at the top
of every half hour.
Occasion: Right after a
church service for Sunday
brunch. We sit for a couple
seconds in the sun-warmed
car and bake, then we roll the
windows down and ramble on
over to this antebellum home.
We descend on the bu¦ et and
eat until we have to loosen the
ties on our dresses.
Cuisine: Mashed pota-toes,
fried chicken,   sh, peach
cobbler, red velvet cake, ba-nana
pudding, macaroni and
cheese, cornbread, collard
greens, roasted chicken, fresh
vegetables, desserts as far as
the eye can see. The buffet
menu varies from day to day.
All of the vegetables are fresh
from local farmers. If you have
room for desserts, there are
pecan pies, banana pudding,
coconut pies and more.
Price: $8 buffet, eat until
you bust.
I’ve already pitched this as
a reality TV show to a couple
networks. MTV said no. VH1
said no. NBC said no. TLC is
still considering it.

Local band Outskirts moves to the center of attention
Lane Jones
Intrigue Reporter
Outskirts is a three-piece
band that blends the unique
voices of vocalists Lisa Tay-lor
and Sierra Farr into foot-stomping
garage western with
a little bit of country twang.
Taylor, the band’s guitarist
and vocalist, said she spent
several months convincing
Farr, bassist and vocalist, to
sing with her.
They got together to see
how their unique voices
would blend and started writ-ing
songs that day.
“We got a collection of
songs together and started
playing,” Farr said.
“We started doing shows,
just the two of us. We did a few
local art shows, a fun grand
opening at Farmhouse and
Bellwether comedy shows last
fall.”
After writing songs to-gether
and performing a few
shows locally, Farr and Taylor
decided they needed a drum-mer
to complete their sound.
It was at their second Bell-wether
show that they were
approached by now-drummer
Brian Macleod.
“Working with them is ex-citing
because you can feed off
each other and you can grow
and develop along the way,”
Taylor said.
“We are able to produce our
music together over time the
way we want it to sound. It’s
harder to do that when you’re
working alone.”
Outskirts played its first
show as a full band at the end
of January.
Their music is vocally driv-en
with an emphasis on Taylor
and Farr’s unique harmonies.
“A lot of people describe us
as folk, but I don’t think that
we’re slow and pretty enough
to be called a folk band,” Farr
said.
“I think the best descrip-tion
that we keep hearing, and
I don’t think Lisa likes this de-scription,
but I think it’s an
apt description is from peo-ple
who have no idea what to
expect and see us live who say
it’s a Western punk band.”
Outskirts cited The Sand-witches,
Those Darlins, Loret-ta
Lynn and Nancy Sinatra as
influences.
“The music is definitely in-spired
for me from old fifties
bluegrass sound,” Taylor said.
“That’s not what we sound like
now, but it’s where the sound
came from.”
When it comes to song writ-ing,
Farr said their technique
involves an organic process of
layering music with lyrics.
“She might have guitar part
that she’s been working on
and I write a lot of lyrics, so
we’ll both hum over it and see
if it works well,” Farr said.
“We can definitely finish
each others sentences when it
comes to music. She has great
ideas and I help hone them in.”
Farr said that the lyrics con-tent
of their songs centers
around the idea of struggle.
“We’re both in our thirties
and neither of us have had
simple lives,” she said.
“We have both been very in-dependent
since the second
that we finished high school.
We’ve lived on our own and
paid our own ways and had to
fight a little bit for the things
that we have.”
Taylor said that one of the
biggest obstacles facing the
band is finding time to prac-tice.
“I have two jobs, Sierra has
her job as a hairstylist and a
daughter,” she said.
“Our drummer also works
full time. It’s hard to schedule
our time to get together and
write. We have the desire, we
just don’t have the time.”
When they do get the
chance to perform, both Tay-lor
and Farr said Outskirts has
been given a warm reception
in town.
“The people behind the mu-sic
scene in Auburn are real-ly
wonderful, thoughtful, gen-uine
people when it comes to
supporting creative people in
this town,” Farr said.
“When you reach out to
this community, you find peo-ple
who are really supportive
of the arts and music specifi-cally.”

The Auburn Writers Con-ference
will meet for its third
annual event later this month
centering on writing identi-ty
and voice bringing region-al
authors and community to-gether
for panels and partici-patory
workshops.
The conference titled “The
Winding Road: Travel, Identi-ty
and the Search for Voice,”
will be held in The Hotel at
Auburn University & Dixon
Conference Center on Oct. 12
and 13.
The conference gathers
emerging and established au-thors
from the University and
community offering a relax-ing
atmosphere for open con-versation
about a wide range
of writing genres such as fic-tion,
literary fiction, young
adult works, poetry and non-fiction.
Friday’s schedule includes
small-group workshops led
by the conference’s featured
authors.
Dinner will be served ac-companied
by a performance
from singer-songwriter Mar-garet
Chapman.
Saturday’s schedule in-cludes
speakers, panels, the
keynote address and lunch
with poetry by Keetje Kuipers,
assistant professor at Auburn.
The keynote speaker is Ju-dith
Ortiz Cofer, Franklin Pro-fessor
of English and Creative
Writing at the University of
Georgia.
Introducing Ortiz Cofer
will be Nick Taylor, an inter-nationally
renowned writer
and former president of the
Writer’s Guild.
The workshops will focus
on a variety of topics relat-ed
to the theme with empha-sis
on personal voice, identity
and character development.
“We’ll have some differ-ent
workshops on finding
your voice as a writer, find-ing
a voice for your charac-ters,”
said Outreach Associ-ate
for the Caroline Marshall
Draughon Center for the Arts
& Humanities Maiben Beard.
“We have some on looking
at plot and a lot on identi-ty,
identity as author or your
character’s identity, one on
self publishing, one on editing
and collaboration and writing
from a character’s place.”
The conference’s comfort-able
setting and informality
will add to the unique quality
of the conference.
“It’s lunch. It’s entertain-ment.
It’s network,” said Ch-antel
Avecedo, associate pro-fessor
at Auburn and alumni
writer in-residence.
“And the writers are really
good about not bunching up
together. They try to sit with
students, with other attend-ees.
It’s a once a lifetime thing,
especially for undergrads, to
get sit at a table with The New
York Times best selling au-thors.”
Early registries were able
to submit works to be pre-viewed
at the conference.
The works were reviewed
by Acevedo and Patricia Fos-ter,
speaker and Breeden
scholar from the University of
Iowa.
“What was great about last
year, the invited writers were
sitting in on those rooms and
listening and giving feedback
to those who have not yet
published,” said Acevedo.
It is a chance for writers
to learn something, make
friends and get the support
they need in their writing, ac-cording
to Beard.
“It’s always nice to see peo-ple
who don’t really know
each other come in and form
this community of writers,”
Beard said.
“I think it’s really impor-tant
as a writer. You probably
feel alone sometimes. People
come in and they form these
groups. They are coming from
all over the southeast, a lot
of them are students or grad
students, but a lot of them
are people out the communi-ty
who maybe working on a
book or have always wanted
to be a write, but never made
that step.”
Registration is open to the
public. Online registration is
available through the univer-sities
website and the dead-line
is Oct. 5.
“It embraces a lot of differ-ent
interests,” said Jay Lamar,
director of Pebble Hill Center
for the Arts & Humanities.
“If there is a theme over-all,
it is opening your arms
and saying come whoever you
are and whatever you’re doing
and find your place in this.”

Pass to the past
What the Tigers have to do in order to avoid a 2011 repeat
Courtesy of Todd Van Emst
Kiehl Frazier throws a pass against Arkansas on Oct. 8, 2011.
Frazier completed 2 of 4 passes for 18 yards and two touch-downs
against the Razorbacks last year.
Auburn went into last year’s meeting with the
Arkansas Razorbacks at 4–1 and ranked 15th in
the country. The defending national champs were
still on a SEC-winning streak that had reached 11
games after impressive early-season wins against
fellow top-20 sides Mississippi State and South
Carolina.
Though Auburn fans weren’t expecting the wins
to come in 2011 at quite the rate they did in 2010,
they certainly weren’t prepared for what the Hogs
had in store for their Tigers in Fayetteville Satur-day,
Oct. 8.
The game started inconspicuously enough as
the two offenses couldn’t get much of anything go-ing
on their opening drives and traded punts. Un-fortunately
for Auburn,
On Auburn’s next possession Little Rock, Ark.
native sophomore Michael Dyer welcomed him-self
home with a 55-yard touchdown scamper
that put the Tigers up 7–0 early in the first. Arkan-sas
responded with a few big pass plays before ty-ing
the game on a short run. After another Clark
punt—this one still not impressing at 39 yards—
Auburn defensive end Corey Lemonier sacked
Wilson, and fellow lineman Jeff Whitaker recov-ered.
Auburn marched down the field and took
a 14–7 on a touchdown run by an even younger
Arkansas native who was even closer to home.
Northwest Arkansas’ Kiehl Frazier earned the six
points playing just minutes from where he played
his high school ball.
The Razorbacks went on to roll in the second
half, however, and with a final score of 38-14, and
the Tigers limped back to the Plains. Some clear
lessons from the box score of last year’s game
show what Auburn must improve to take care of
business this time around.
Auburn had 11 penalties for more than 100
yards. Arkansas had just four for what turned out
to be an inconsequential 26 yards. Auburn had
three turnovers while forcing only one.
Auburn’s offensive line must ensure quarter-backs
have time to see the field, make their reads
and get rid of the ball in a smart, effective manner.

Between the tackles
What the Tigers have to do to keep the Razorbacks at bay
John Burns
Sports Reporter
The Arkansas vs. Auburn game this Saturday will
feature several key matchups that will likely decide the
outcome of the game.
Tyler Wilson, who will be the most explosive offen-sive
player on the field, will face an Auburn secondary
that has given up 211 yards a game through the air, but
the Auburn defense has not played against a quarter-back
of Wilson’s class.
Yes, Wilson’s team is 1–3, but that is more a result of
an abrupt change of coaches in the offseason than the
quarterback’s inadequacies. Make no mistake, Wilson
is dangerous.
Last year, Wilson turned Auburn’s secondary into
Swiss cheese as he passed for 262 yards and three
touchdowns. Auburn’s defense is coming off a con-fidence
booster against LSU, but will need to remain
wary of the Arkansas quarterback’s prowess.
If the secondary can limit Wilson to about 230 yards
and two touchdown throws, the Tigers should have an
excellent chance of winning, simply because the Ar-kansas
defense has been dismal this year.
In fact, Arkansas’ defense averages about 510 yards
against them each game and around 160 on the
ground.
Auburn, being a predominantly run-oriented of-fense,
will look to exploit the Arkansas front seven in
search for its first SEC victory.
The Tigers have averaged 153 yards on the ground
through four games, but will need to improve that
number if they expect a win this weekend.
Tre Mason and Ontario McCalebb are averaging
more than five yards a carry this season and are two of
Auburn’s more reliable offensive players.
If the duo can establish a strong running game that
opens up the pass for Kiehl Frazier, the Auburn offense
will thrive. It all starts on the ground against a defense
like Arkansas, and if Auburn can exploit the weakness-es,
the wheels may come off for the Razorbacks.
Danielle Lowe / Assistant Photo Editor and Rebecca Croomes / Photo Editor
Running backs Tre Mason and Onterio McCalebb are leading the Tigers in rushing thus far through the season. The Tigers averaged 153 yards on the ground
through four games.
