Thursday, August 26, 2010 Serving the University of Alabama since 1894 Vol. 117, Issue 16 Rediscovering a Lost Legacy Riverside Students, professors paint picture of University before Civil War razing parking reduced

By Charles Scarborough Staff Reporter [email protected]

Riverside and Rose Towers residents must cope with reduced parking space as a result of construction of new residential housing. Students in the Purple Residential Zone on the north side of campus who have parked illegally have received $50 tickets on their cars, along with a notice of their options to deal with the situation: They may trade in their parking pass for a fall semester Ferguson Parking Deck pass to avoid the fine.

“I have to either give up my pass for the option to park farther away from my dorm, or I can pay $50 and continue { to deal with this mess.” } — Henry Weatherly, a freshman studying pre-law

In the spring, when another parking lot is scheduled for completion, students will be given the opportunity to purchase another purple residential pass for $120. Ronnie Robertson, director of transportation services, said offering students parking in the Ferguson Deck was the only viable option.

I think that it was a great addition to our campus.” Stewart’s Corner is located on the first floor of Lloyd Hall and features a Chick- fil-a, Pizza Hut Express, Java City Coffee and Boar’s Head Deli. “Everything is going as well as can be expected,” Hopton-Jones said. “The student and staff reaction has been consistently positive.” Hopton-Jones said she hopes to adjust the way the lines are filtered around the dining facility to allow for more space and to continue

“There was a need to maintain and protect this significant historical asset,” Leopard said. There were some small renovations done to the house in 2004, which was the last time there was any remodeling being done, he said. While the University has much Civil War history, many students say they aren’t aware of the historical buildings that surround them. “I don’t really know much about the buildings unless someone tells me about it, but I do find it to be very interesting,” said Tarilyn Stokes, a freshman majoring in aerospace engineering. “In comparison with the other construction projects that have been taking place on campus, I think the funding seems substan- tial, and it is needed to preserve such a historic place,” she added. It’s very important to preserve buildings like this, Stokes said, because they shouldn’t become damaged beyond repair. “Renovations don’t change the historic aspect of a building,” she said. “The same aspect will always be there. It’s our University’s history.” In 1944, the house became one of the University’s museums, and CW | Drew Hoover it was dedicated to the Gorgas family. The house is named after The Gorgas House, one of the University’s oldest buildings, undergoes the seventh president of the renovations. University, Confederate General Josiah Gorgas, and his wife, Amelia Gayle Gorgas—Gorgas Library’s namesake. Sara Brown, a senior in New College, said that the renovation is a good idea but that she did not know the house is available for tours. “As long as you don’t change the quality of the house, then it is definitely important that renovations are done,” she said. “Given that the house is so old, it is a very important part of this campus.” She said people, particularly prospective students who come and tour the campus, will benefit from being able to see such a part of history. “The only things that I would claim to know about UA’s history are the things that I learned from the tours, but these are definitely important things we should preserve,” she said.

By Britton Lynn Senior Sports Reporter [email protected]

With the season opener right around the corner, Tide football players are enthusiastic to compete again. “Oh yeah, I’m ready for the season to start,” said junior running back Mark Ingram. “I’m excited to just go out there and see what this team can accomplish because I know people have been working hard, so I’ve been really looking forward to the season.” Sophomore running back Trent Richardson, who rushed for 751 yards and eight touch- downs during his freshman year, said he was also eager for their first game against San Jose State. “It’s taken forever to get here, but we [are] ready for it,” Richardson said. “We can’t wait. We’ll be waiting for that opening game. Just ready to get there and get back to what we do.” Alabama will begin its 2010 campaign on Saturday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. in the renovated Bryant-Denny Stadium, now the fifth largest stadium in the country.

The group produced another documentary titled “Defining Moments: The Stories Behind Alabama Football’s Greatest Plays.” Their history with the University and relationship with Jimmy Sexton, Saban’s agent, helped them to win the coach’s trust.
