The Matthew A. Calderone Administration The Matthew A. Calderone Administration 2012 - 2013 End of the Year Report Dear Friends, It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve The University of Alabama community as Student Government Association President for the past year. After assuming office, our administration identified three goals to guide us through the year: to be led by service to others in all that we do, to connect the student body in order to create a more unified campus, and to make the Student Government Association relevant to every student. The achievements this year of the over two hundred and fifty members of the Student Government Association are nothing short of remarkable. I can confidently say that because of the hard work of the members of this administration and our dedication to service, we have achieved all of these goals and more. We have enhanced and created countless projects and initiatives that connect and serve our student body while making SGA relevant to every student. Our Delegates Program connects campus organizations with each other and the Student Government Association through regular meetings that enhance communication and provide additional resources. We have been able to serve our students that are in need through the newly created Robert E. Witt Need Based Scholarship. Through this scholarship, eighteen thousand dollars went to eighteen students who were facing issues such as eviction, past due medical bills, and/or the inability to pay for their education. Working hand-in-hand with the University, we were able to eliminate Friday exams after 2:30 p.m., an accomplishment that is relevant to all students. There is no greater privilege than to be able to dedicate every day serving the university and community we all love. The tremendous accomplishments this year could not have been possible without the dedicated individuals that make up the 2012- 2013 Student Government Association Administration and all of those who helped us along the way. The work ethic of the members of this administration is only surpassed by their compassion and their desire to serve. I, from the bottom of my heart, want to thank every member of the Student Government Association, every administrator, every faculty and staff member, and The University of Alabama community as a whole for your efforts this year. Thank you for providing me with one of the most remarkable opportunities of my entire life by allowing me to serve you all as President of the Student Government Association. Thank you, Matthew A.

Several highly touted recruits lead Alabama’s 26-member class. Alabama’s recruiting class was headlined by athletes Eddie Williams and Cyrus Jones, as well as wide receivers Chris Black and Amari Cooper, to name a few. The class consists of three five-star recruits and 14 four-star recruits. Head coach Nick Saban said he believes this class will have a suc- cessful career at the University. “We’re very, very pleased with the group of players that we were able to attract this year, in this signing class,” Saban said. “…We do feel like these young men were recruited here because we felt that they could be successful at this institution.” Despite Alabama’s addition of a number of productive offensive players, the Tide was also able to haul in some of the best defen- sive talent in the nation to help fill a depleted defensive backfield. Alabama lost six out of eight starters in the defensive backfield but was able to reload at these positions by sign- ing five linebackers and four defensive backs.

I want to point to the fact that the last three nation- al champions before Alabama last year fin- ished the season with a blemish on their record. I want to reiterate that the winner of the Southeastern Conference has won the past four national championships. But it is the rest of the country — not the Tide, not the SEC — that forces me to examine the Crimson Tide’s national championship chances without any buoyancy. Alabama’s loss to South Carolina Saturday did not knock the Tide out of the national championship hunt, but chances are, the reward for winning the rest of its games will be no more than a bowl of sugar. Not to say that wouldn’t still be a fan- tastic season, but any school that sees its team begin the season at No. 1 always expects to finish there. There are 11 undefeated teams left in the FBS, which is high for this point in the season. Let’s take a look at the possi- bility of a one-loss Alabama team finish- ing in one of the nation’s top two spots.
