The Student Judiciary is to select judges Monday if it goes SCENEON CAMPUS through. SOURCE representative John Brinkerhoff is challenging the constitutionality of the bill. Gregory Poole, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said two compromises were offered but not accepted. A new bill, which does not specifi cally repeal B-22-13 but instead alters the text to fi t within constitutional bounds, was passed by the Senate Friday and is awaiting the president’s signature. After viewing the new bill, Brinkerhoff said he still feels the issue of Senate over-representation has not been addressed and will continue the litigation. He said he holds no hard feelings to anyone in the Senate and hopes to fi nd a positive solution to the issue.

Following Sunseri’s injury, Clinton-Dix returns to fi eld
FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1
Clinton-Dix was reinstated by the NCAA on Friday and entered the game on Saturday when Sunseri left. Landon Collins slid over to strong safety in Sunseri’s place and Clinton-Dix played free safety. “I just want to apologize to my family, teammates, university and fans for the mis- take I made during the summer and I have learned from it [sic],” Clinton-Dix tweeted Sunday. Clinton-Dix was reportedly suspended for accepting a $500 loan from a strength and conditioning coach. He practiced with the scout team during his suspension. “It felt great just to be back with my team,” Clinton-Dix said after the game. “It was [frustrating] but at the same time I’ve got to worry about me. Continue to stay in shape, cover guys and keep up with them.” Saban said the plan was to play Clinton- Dix in the “money” position in Alabama’s secondary, essentially the fourth corner- back. But when the injury struck, Clinton- Dix was forced into the game. He recorded five tackles and an interception. “When Vinnie went out, he was the next guy in and did a good job,” Saban said. “He used his experience to know and adjust the formations. I think his leadership really helped the other guys because Vinnie has been making most of the calls and that stuff. It was good to get him back and have CW | Austin Bigoney that kind of experience.” Safety Landon Collins celebrates after taking down Arkansas returner Korliss Marshall, preventing a fi rst down. Collins and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix take Saban is expected to announce Sunseri’s over after a knee injury places Vinnie Sunseri on the sideline. status on Monday.
