QUOTES OF THE DAY “People see the routines the Riptide Dancers do and immediately think they can’t participate because the choreography seems too fast or difficult. The clinic will show that it’s easier than it looks and extremely fun.” —Giselle Warren, co-captain of Riptide Dancers
“It just hit me last week, and I got really sad,” she said. “So I’m trying to make the most of all my practices and just have fun because this is pretty much it for me. I’m trying to make the best of every day.” —Lindsey Buteyn, Alabama volleyball senior middle blocker, on her last season

THIS DAY IN ALABAMA HISTORY Nov. 21, 1818: Cahaba is designated by the territorial legislature as Alabama’s state capital. Huntsville would serve for a short time as the temporary capital. The selection of Cahaba was a victory for the Coosa/Alabama River contingent, which won out over a Tennessee/Tombigbee rivers alliance group that wanted to place the capital at Tuscaloosa. The power struggle would continue between the two sections of the state; in 1826 the capital was moved to Tuscaloosa, but in 1847, it was moved to the Alabama River at Montgomery.

CREEK
Continued from page 1
The group also needs people with construction experience to help build an outhouse for the event. John Wathen, the Hurricane Creek creek-keeper, will offer education on local wildlife and the creek’s ecosystem. “He’s going to be teaching how to identify local plants — when they’re in bloom and good times to come see them — local birds, and also on the environmental effects some of the local businesses are having on the creek,” Harnage said. Lunch will be a Thanksgiving potluck and participants are encouraged to bring side dishes to go with turkey and dressing. Harnage first became aware of the need for cleaning the creek through his Natural Science class in New College. Last September, Hurricane Creek suffered from sewage that had leaked into Cottondale Creek. Because the path to the spill site was overgrown, it took the clean-up crew 19 hours to reach the site with necessary equipment and contain the spill. “The city didn’t do a very good job of dealing with it,” Harnage said. “And we thought ‘What can we do to help?’” Harnage said as of now, at least 30 people will be at the clean-up, but he would like to have around 100. Students can go to www. imrivers.com/hurricane or the Facebook group “CleanUp & Campout at Hurricane Creek” for more information and directions. The Student Recreation Center offers sleeping bag rental and gives discounts to those involved in the clean-up. Work gloves and equipment will be provided.
