This February, students across the country celebrated Black History Month. They read books by black authors, wrote research papers on civil rights activists, memorized Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech and watched videos about the Underground Railroad. And as they learned about the struggle of the past, many began to recognize it in their own present – when a cashier squints suspiciously when they walk into a store, when they turn on the news and see another person who looks like them lose his life to senseless violence. These lessons are anything but history.

Sororities Compete to Raise Awareness for Heart Disease
Players not named Antoine Mason or KT Harrell didn't do much to help Auburn Tuesday. Mason and Harrell combined for 45 points in the Tigers 79-68 loss to Alabama, Mason with 24, Harrell with 21. If you add in Cinmeon Bowers, the three Tigers put up all but 9 of Auburn's points. "That just is an example of our roster and our limitations and our lack of depth and the things that we've struggled with all year long" said head coach Bruce Pearl. "Sometimes it gets exposed and sometimes it doesn't. It's disappointing when it gets exposed against your rival." While Bowers did add 14 points, three of which came from a late three-pointer, the forward also had a few mistakes, which Pearl said proved to be costly. "We rely heavily on Bowers," Pearl said. "When (he) doesn't play as well as he's capable of, it's hard for us to win. Unfortunately, some of his mistakes were obviously really magnified." Only two other players found the basket for Auburn on the night. Jordon Granger had four points, and TJ Lang, who was averaging less than two points a game coming into tonight, added five. KC Ross-Miller, Malcolm Canada, Trayvon Reed and Devin Waddell all saw time on the court, and all combined for zero points. Even with the lack of production from his team, head coach Bruce Pearl said he takes full responsibility for the loss. "That's about as bad as we've played this year," Pearl said. "I told the players you've got to be accountable, and it starts with me. I did not have a great game plan tonight." Overall, the Tigers shot 39.3 percent from the field, while the Crimson Tide shot 52.9, with a 59.3 mark in the second half. "You can't let a team shoot 60 percent," Pearl said. "Alabama is very athletic, very strong, very quick and very powerful. We looked slow and poorly prepared, and that's my responsibility." Auburn led by three at half, but Alabama caught fire in the second half, and Antoine Mason said that defense had more to do with the loss than lack of offensive firepower. "It's not about the offense, it's our defense," Mason said. "We didn't stop anybody in the second half." As it has been all season, Auburn's lack of size was a problem again Tuesday. Alabama out-rebounded the Tigers 40-26, and had 16 second-chance points. "(Jimmie) Taylor, (Michael) Kessens and (Shannon) Hale, those three guys are bigger than anybody we have," Pearl said. "They did a good job of taking advantage of their size and athleticism. Pearl added that while all the losses hurt, losing to a rival for the second time in a season stings a little more. "It's a game that sticks with you all summer long and all year long," Pearl said. "I talked about it being a must-win for our team and I felt like it was. I think if you're going to be successful anywhere, you've got to beat your rival, and I couldn't beat them this year. It's a real negative mark on this team and this program as we're trying to rebuild." The loss drops Auburn to 12-14 overall with a 4-9 record in SEC play, and things won't get easier from here. Saturday, the Tigers will travel to Lexington to take on John Calipari and the No.1 Kentucky Wildcats (26-0). That game will tip off at 6 p.m. and be broadcast on ESPN.
The 17 sororities in Auburn's Panhellenic council will be participating in the Pump Up Your Heart competition during the month of February, according to Paige Serzen, junior in public relations and Panhellenic health and wellness director. "[Pump Up Your Heart] began in correlation with the month of February because it's American Heart Health month, which raises awareness for cardiovascular disease," Serzen said. "We just thought it would be a great way to promote health among Panhellenic women." Lauren Cleveland, junior in accounting and Panhellenic president, said there will be friendly competition. "[Sorority members] will be taking group exercise classes at the [recreation center] and it's a fun competition where they can promote healthy exercise while competing for prizes," Cleveland said. Serzen said each time a person from a sorority goes to a group fitness class she is adding a point to her sorority's overall points. At the end of the week, the points are tallied to determine who attended the most classes. Anna Coffman, junior in sociology and Panhellenic administrative vice president said first place gets 60 points, second gets 30, and third gets 15 points. "The first place will also get a rock climbing wall party and an April party," Coffman said. Coffman said the competition started two years ago and it happens annually in February.
