In 2003, three weeks after Joe McInnes (chemistry, 1965) began serving as director of the Alabama Department of Transportation, volunteering for a job that many in the state would have considered profound self-punishment, he received a phone call. Monica Lucas of Baker Hill near Eufaula wanted to talk to Governor Bob Riley but was referred to McInnes instead. She said, I want you to listen to this, McInnes recalled. And I heard a little girls voice calling for her mother. Mrs. Lucas told me that this was her granddaughter, Sidney, whose mother had been killed on Highway 431 in Russell County. She was coming back from Auburn where she had been admitted and her car collided with a truck near one of the roads sharp curves. The narrow twolane road was dangerous. Mrs. Lucas wanted to know what I was going to do to make 431 safer. McInnes drove to Eufaula on a cold February day and promised Lucas that, while it would take time, the highway would be made safer
and the four-lane road completed. It had been named one of Americas deadliest highways by Readers Digest three years earlier. McInnes had recently retired from Montgomery-based Blount International where he had served for 25 years in senior management and as right-hand man to its legendary chairman Winton Red Blount. He helped oversee Blount Internationals remarkable growth and the sale of the corporation for $1.2 billion in 1999. He then worked to develop the Blount Cultural Park in Montgomery until Red Blounts death in 2002. Before moving to his retirement home on Lake Martin near Alexander City, McInnes was serving on then Governor-elect Bob Rileys transition team. He was helping identify candidates for cabinet posts when Riley asked him to accept a cabinet post of his ownoverseeing the troubled Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The departments afflictions were numerous, the most pernicious being its longstanding
reputation as the governors office of political patronage, trading road building projects for legislative votes and political favors. Two of the previous three ALDOT directors had been indicted by federal grand juries and one had gone to prison for soliciting from contractors, creating Continued on page 4

DEANS MESSAGE
On Wednesday, April 27, business as usual ended at our College when an F4 tornado barreled into Tuscaloosa from the west. It seemed only seconds between the storms sighting and the reports of devastation and, tragically, death. We mourn the loss of life. Six University of Alabama students died, including College of Arts and Sciences studio art major Morgan Sigler of Bryant, Ala., whose fine talents and promise are remembered on this page. We are thankful the storm missed our beautiful campus as it cut a swath nearly one mile wide and five miles long through the city, devastating 15th Street; the neighborhoods of Forest Lake, Hillcrest, Glendale Gardens, the Downs, and Rosedale; and Holt and Alberta City before continuing east for some 250 miles. And we join with the greater community in grieving for the losses experienced in Tuscaloosa County and elsewhere. As soon as the sound of the sirens ceased, our overarching concern was for our students, our employees, and all in the community who lost their homes and possessions. Some 4,996 homes were damaged; 2,375 were destroyed; 69 apartment complexes were leveled. But the magnitude of the tornados devastation was only outsized by the compassion that poured forth from the community and beyond. Moments after the devastation, neighbors began helping neighbors and giving to those in need in remarkable ways. College comes from the Latin word for community, and in my estimation that meaning was never truer of the College of Arts and Sciences than in those days immediately following the tornado. With power lines down and roadways impassable for several miles, School of Music faculty members Jenny Mann and Chris Kozak he could on Thursday, he began volunteering, distributing food in hard-hit Alberta City on Friday. American studies faculty member Michael Innis-Jemnez spent a week at the University MallBelk shelter translating and problemsolving for displaced Hispanic families. Spanish faculty from the Department of Modern Languages and Classics were also there and at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church shelter. Faculty in the Department of Psychology volunteered at counseling and shelter centers throughout the city. Psychology professor Jeff Parker worked 16-hour days over the weekend supporting search and rescue teams as they combed the rubble before he turned to pet rescue in Alberta City. Chain saw brigades sprang up from a number of our departments. Department of Art and Art History students Jason Doblin, James Davis, and Adam Hill and faculty member Lowell Baker worked tirelessly removing fallen trees from homes. Department of Communicative Disorders graduate students organized 40 students and eight chainsaws to clear trees while the departments Audiology Clinic worked with FEMA to replace hearing aids lost in the storm. Walking in food and water to impassable neighborhoods, cooking and serving meals, affixing tarps to innumerable damaged roofs, collecting and distributing vital supplies, recovering for a stranger a cherished possession from the ruins, holding a handthese acts of kindness by so many steeled our collective resolution to recover, to rebuild, and to honor those who were lost. Likewise, the good wishes and caring expressions we have received from friends and alumni in many places remind us, once again, that the important matters are not temporary adversity or material goods, but what we mean to one another.
brought water, ice, and food to colleague Jonathan Noffsinger, whose home in Alberta City was severely damaged. Kozak and music students Daniel Western, Justin White, and Abner Cruz walked in tools, a generator, and gasoline and spent days helping Noffsinger clear downed trees from his home. Faculty and students in the Department of Anthropology formed an ad hoc rescue team that spent a week on home salvage duty, helping students move belongings to secure places. Then 30 faculty and students registered with Tuscaloosa Volunteer Services as the UA Anthropology Crew to broaden their work in the community. Department of American Studies chairperson Lynn Adrian opened her home to three American Studies alumni who spent days helping displaced graduate students recover their belongings. American studies graduate student Steve Marston lost his home. After recovering what
Morgan started her journey at The University of Alabama in engineering, her fathers profession, but it was not the right fit. When she discovered studio art, she quickly fell in love with the discipline. During her time in the College, Morgan worked on sculptures and learned to create pottery, including Raku, a Japanese ceramics technique. To honor Morgans memory, faculty and staff in the Department of Art and Art History created a Raku platter for her parents. I never knew how close she was to the art department until all this happened, her father said. This gift shows that she was surrounded by people who cared for her. I will hold on to that. Faculty in the department also collected portfolio projects by Morgan that were housed in the department, including a lighthearted time-lapse video of herself, and presented these to the Siglers. Shortly before her death, Morgan had been working on a mold for a piece inspired by the Bruno Mars song Grenade. The fragile wax mold was one of the items recovered from Morgans tornado-damaged apartment. Joe McCreary, an artist whose sculpture Goldie 1971, a larger-thanlife recumbent robot, can be seen in Woods Quad, heard about Morgans vision for her next piece. The UA art alum finished the casting process and gave Morgans last sculpture to her parents. Morgan was also dedicated to mission work and had traveled in the United States and Mexico with Ebeneezer Baptist Church, teaching and sharing her faith and her love of art. Her mother said she had been looking forward to joining other mission trips after graduation. The family plans to establish a memorial fund in Morgans name that will be used to buy art supplies for mission trips. She always looked for the good in people, her father said. And she reminded me to do the same.
A 480-acre tract of forested property near Akron owned by the College has been enhanced with an outdoor classroom area designed to teach students how to manage family, corporate and public lands as a renewable natural resource. The new facilities were dedicated June 7 at the J. Nicholene Bishop Biological Station. The site, a former family homestead known as Tanglewood and bequeathed to UA in 1949 by Alma Bishop Williams, has served as a field station for decades, managed by the Department of Biological Sciences. The Outdoor Learning Pavilion and Support Facility were constructed with funds provided by UA and several Alabama conservation organizations. Supporters of the $500,000 project include the Ben May Charitable Trust of Mobile, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Alabama Conservation and Natural Resources Foundation, the Alabama Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation and Riley Boykin Smith of Tensaw Land and Timber Company Inc. The structures provide an all-weather launching point for students to study and conduct research at the heavily forested property. The Learning Pavilion, Support Facility and surrounding acres of rolling pine uplands and hardwood creek bottoms are at the center of the natural resources management minor, designed to give students real-world training in forest, wildlife, recreation and aesthetics management.

Dr. Jason Senkbeil (right) and Dr. David Brommer (left) were awarded a $35,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to use data they collected from the April 27 tornado to develop statistics on how people gather severe weather information. They hope to use the information to create more effective warning systems.
researchers assess how recovery groups such as Toomers for Tuscaloosa and Recover Tuscaloosa were formed and how they affected the recovery process. Our goal is to take the physical element of the event and understand how it affects social aspects, Brommer said. Early results from their data indicate that the April 27 storm definitely influenced how people will formulate their severe weather plans in the future. Brommer said he and his colleague hope to use their analyses to inform elected officials and meteorologists how to make warnings more effective and to create learning modules for schools to teach students about severe weather safety.

Collins Is One of UAs Two 2011 Hollings Scholars
Double Major to Pursue Research in Microeconomics
When A. J. Collins, a sophomore from Amissville, Va., heard he had been named one of UAs two Hollings Scholars, he was excited about the financial award and even more excited about the opportunities for research the scholarship would provide. Collins applied for the highly competitive National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship in February, with the hopes of earning the $8,000 scholarship. He was particularly pleased to receive an additional $6,500 scholarship for an internship at a U.S. NOAA facility of his choosing. He hopes to further his research on testing what is known as the Olson Paradox, looking at whether group size has an effect on resource production and allocation. The economics A.J. Collins and political science double major said many of the social sciences explore how people interact with one another. He is interested in mathematically identifying trends in group interactions. And having grown up within two hours of the nations capital, Collins said he has always had a strong desire to work in the public sector. In addition to the Hollings Scholarship, Collins was named UAs Most Outstanding Sophomore for 2011 and a Tragos Scholar, an award that allowed him to travel to Greece to learn about the historical and philosophical foundations of Greek life. The trip was part of his participation in Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, where he serves on the executive board.

Jeremy Davis, an undergraduate student majoring in studio art, puts the nishing touches on the bust of Head Football Coach Nick Saban, which will be cast in bronze and installed in the Mal Moore Athletic Building. Davis is the artist responsible for the statue of Saban that was installed at the Walk of Champions earlier this year to commemorate UAs 2009 National Championship win.
Davis agreed, saying that the task of replicating the likeness of a real person is a blessing and a burden. On the one hand, if an artist doesnt quite get it right, they face that persons scrutiny. On the other hand, if the artist has questions, they have that person to guide them through the process and show how the figure should be represented. In the case of Sabans statue, the person who helped guide the process the most was Sabans wife, Terry. Davis said it was a pleasure to work so closely with her and that her opinions and suggestionssuch as casting into the statues collar buttons one of the pennies Sabans daughter gives to him before each gamereally made the project come to life. In addition to Terry Sabans direction, Davis and his faculty mentors reviewed each Alabama football game in the fall, hoping to capture useful footage of Coach Saban in action to compensate for the limited access to their famous model. After each game, the three would meet and discuss his specific gestures, movements and expressions, trying to hone in on the moments that represent Saban at his best. The desire to capture this so-called coaching moment, was a part of the project even before Davis was asked to come on board. The pose of Saban with his hands forward in a clapping motion, although different from the other three statues on the Walk of Champions, was picked as the most accurate representation of the coach. Because of the pose, the finished product required significant skill to craft. According to Livingston, any sculptor would have been challenged to get the pose right. This one was not as static as the others, Livingston said. This has more life to it. Davis eagerly accepted the challenge. According to Wedderspoon, the last 5 percent of a project can make or break its success. In his view, Davis understood that, which resulted in the impressive bronze statue on display today. Davis is quick to give credit to his two mentors. He says he owes a huge debt of gratitude to Wedderspoon and Livingston. If it wasnt for them, I wouldnt have gotten the job, he said. They also taught me a lot about punctuality and work ethic. And they really pushed me, which is what I need every once in a while. The West Blocton, Ala., native got married this summer and will continue his studies in the Department of Art and Art History this fall. He is now constructing a life-size bust of Saban to be displayed in the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility. This time around, he said, he will be more prepared. Now I know the lines of his face. Ill also get the chance to put in more details.

Because the sh are genetically identical, Hanninen can focus on how the sh respond to environmental changes without having to factor in genetic differences between specimens. Her project is being funded by a prestigious $120,000 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Hanninen, a Tuscaloosa native and a graduate of Holy Spirit Catholic School, came to The University of Alabama with a general idea of what she wanted to study, but no clear path to a major. After dabbling with biology and nursing, she decided to take some time off from school to gure out what she ought to do. After working for a year as a telemarketer, she re-enrolled at UA to pursue a degree in nutrition. She was doing well in her courses, but in the back of her mind, there were nagging thoughts

J. L. Bedsole Foundation Honors Beloved Trustee with Million Dollar Band Scholarship
The J. L. Bedsole Foundation has given $25,000 to establish the T. Massey Bedsole Sr. Endowed Scholarship for the Million Dollar Band, which is part of the College of Arts and Sciences University Bands Program in the School of Music. The scholarship will help fund the tuition and costs of a student band member. In addition to the J. L. Bedsole Foundations gift, many friends and family of T. Massey Bedsole also contributed to establish the fund in his honor. T. Massey Bedsole was The University of Alabamas oldest trustee emeritus before his death on January 1, 2011; he spent nearly a decade on the UA Board of Trustees. Beloved in the UA community and known for his enthusiasm for the Crimson Tide, he earned his undergraduate and law degrees (1939, 1941) from the University. He served in World War II as a naval aviator and was a retired partner in the Hand Arendall law rm of Mobile. The J. L. Bedsole Foundation, established in 1949, is named for Joseph Linyer Bedsole, a well-known Mobile businessman who was the director of the First National Bank of Mobile for more than 50 years. The foundations mission is to provide post secondary educational opportunities for worthy youth in Alabama and to support civic, cultural, artistic, and economic development opportunities in the state.

Mrs. Celeste Burnum and Ian Crawford examine works on display at the Paul R. Jones Gallery.
The first exhibition in the newly dedicated gallery, titled Icon, was curated by graduate students in studio art and art history from The University of Alabama and The University of Alabama at Birmingham. The exhibit, which explores thematically the notions of the icon in contemporary art, gives the Tuscaloosa community a glimpse of the many subjects and themes addressed by artists represented in the Jones collection, said Dr. Lucy Curzon, assistant professor in the Department of Art and Art History and faculty advisor of the student exhibition. In this instance, iconicity is a concept broadly conceived. The works on exhibit embrace religious, national, and community beliefs; exemplify fame, fortune, and success; and embody notions of veneration, to name only a few of the contexts under exploration, said Curzon prior to the opening. Pieces from the Jones collection, which is managed by the Department of Art and Art History, have been on display in various venues since Jones donated his 1,700-piece collection, valued at $4.8 million, to the University in 2008. The new gallery will provide a permanent exhibition space for portions of the collection. In an interview shortly before his death in 2010, Jones explained that by donating his art, he hoped to preserve the legacy of African American artists, spark the interest of future art collectors, and help elevate African American art in the eyes of the art world.
negotiations with Interkultur Korea, a division of the international performing arts organization. At first I didnt think this was going to happen, Ratledge said. These kinds of things can take up to two years of planning. Interkultur Korea reduced the cost of the trip for 55 singers by $67,000.UAs Office of the Provost and the Colleges Office of the Dean and School of Music contributed a total of $55,000 to make the trip a reality. Ratledge, who has traveled overseas with as many as 140 singers at a time, said these kinds of trips are costly and a huge responsibilitybut they are worth it. What is marvelous about these trips is what they do for the kids, he said. To open up those doors of discovery and exploration is wonderful. The University Singers made their Carnegie Hall debut in New York City last spring. The trip to Korea is just the beginning of introducing UAs musical ensembles to the world, Ratledge said. Plans are under way for both the Alabama Wind Ensemble and the Huxford Symphony Orchestra to travel overseas in the next year.
