Kaleidoscope Staff Report
UAB to Z is your guide to the world of UAB and the Birmingham area. Compiled by students for students, it provides useful information about student organizations, classes, administrators, buildings and other important information mixed in with a little humor and an update on popular culture for those not in the know. Also provided are spotlights of faces and places the Kaleidoscope staff has a particular fondness for or that may provide incoming students opportunities to get involved and invested in the campus from the get go.
Hopefully this guide will help you become acquainted with the campus and find ways to make your own mark during your time here. If you would like to contribute to next year’s edition, send any entries or ideas to editor@insideuab.com. Entries can be informative or amusing (or both). Welcome to UAB. Make friends, get involved and read your Kaleidoscope. Studying may be a good idea too.

Alabama: Also known as “The Cotton State,” Alabama was inducted into the United States in 1819 as the 22nd state. The state tree is the pine tree, known as a “moon tree,” because the seeds of this tree went to the moon with astronaut Stuart Roosa aboard Apollo 14 in 1971. Alabama’s current state capital, Montgomery, was the capital of the Confederate States of America in 1861, where the orders to fire upon Ft. Sumter and the begining of the American Civil War originated.
Alabama Adventure : Theme park located in Bessemer, just outside of Birmingham. Features roller coasters, a water park, and live music, from local acts to acts as far away as The Veronicas from Australia. For more information see page 10. Check them out at alabamaadventure.com.

The Storyteller of Select Bookshop, Bangalore | Book Review ...
Bangalore lost one of its treasure-trove - the Premier Book Shop - run by a reticent, but slyly witty man named T.S. Shanbhag, who learnt his trade from his uncle, the legendary Mr. T.N. Shanbhag of Strand Book Stall, Bombay. Premier Book Shop became a casualty to 'development' which has taken epidemic proportions and also claimed iconic buildings like the over half a century old India Coffee House (ICH) on M.G. Road apart from numerous parks and trees, including the famed M.G. Road boulevard - as its victims. All that is now left of "Premier" is first-time director Asha Ghosh's documentary film "Mr Shanbag's Shop" that has charmed viewers in San Francisco, New York and Bangalore alike. Not sure about our Netas and policy makers though! But before Bangalore's conversation with freshly minted English books continued with this important little institution in 1971, the city had been well served by an excellent bookshop - the Select Bookshop - since 1945. Sixty-six years down the line, 'Select' is still going strong and holding out despite several pretenders. It has survived the onslaught of air-conditioned clones of Fox Books with quiet grace... unlike Meg Ryan's The Shop Around the Corner . Situated in a short and narrow by lane off Brigade Road, this is an oasis of calm amidst chaos. There is a particular calmness in this place, which almost seems like a reverential hush intended for the books themselves. The owner, the amiable and witty Mr. K.K.S. Murthy is the face and voice of one of Bangalore's oldest and iconic landmarks. This place also holds discussions and talks by eminent speakers from India and from professors from different Universities across the globe. These talks are organized in a typical informal baithak I've heard Select Bookshop described as a Dickensian sort of place. Perhaps it's indicative of my stunted reading habits that the adjective that more immediately springs to my mind is Blytonesque. But then there is something slightly fantastical about its shadowy interiors, whose deepest secrets are presumably known only to the kindly old man behind the counter, with the twinkle in his eye. The man is K.K.S. Murthy, inheritor of the Select legacy from his father and founder - the legendary Mr. K.B.K. Rao, from whose faded black and white photos it is apparent that the twinkle in the eye must run in the family. So also must the habit of abandoning flourishing careers to take to bookselling; Mr.
