ere sne is • •• Vandiver crowned Miss UNA 2004 This year ' s winner of the Miss UNA Scholarship Pageant was 23-year-old senior and fashion merchandising major Sarah Elizabeth Vandiver, who also won the talent portion of the pageant with a dance to Bobby Darrin ' s Mack the Knife. I couldn ' t have done this without the support of my friends and family, said Vandiver, especially my mom, who recent- ly passed away. This was her dream to see me win, so this was all for her. Crowned by 2003 ' s Miss UNA, Jamie Hutcheson, Vandiver will join the ranks of Miss UNA winners, whose ranks span back to 1974. Being crowned Miss UNA also gives Vandiver a chance at the June 2004 Miss Alabama competition in Tuscaloosa. I can ' t believe I have a chance at Miss Alabama, said Vandiver. I ' m just so shocked! This is so surreal. Vandiver was rewarded with a full-tuition scholarship as well as a chance to get her platform of breast cancer awareness known throughout the community. — Liz Myers Sharia Beth Ayers Meredith Grace Bell Brittany P.

Jt was in 1999 that the city of Florence bought the Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum house and, in the course of three years, reconstructed and restored to replicate the way it looked when the Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum first moved in in 1940. The house has been made into a museum for Florence citizens to enjoy. Stanley Rosenbaum had $7,500, two acres of land and one promise not to block his parents ' view of the Tennessee River on Riverview Drive. He and his new wife Mildred decided to use their wedding present from Stanley ' s parents to build the house that wouldn ' t block the picture-perfect view. On the advice of an architect friend, the Rosenbaums wrote to world-famous building designer Frank Lloyd Wright. January of 1940 began the construction of the house based on Wright ' s Usonian principles. First realized in 1936 at the Jacobs House in Madison, Wis., Usonian houses were Wright ' s solution for functional, moderate-cost hous- ing for the American family. Wright believed that a house is more a home by being a work of art. Wright also believed in using local materials to build his houses and building them from the earth where the building would stand. The Rosenbaums ' house was constructed out of Southern cypress, glass and red brick from good old Alabama clay. After learning Wright ' s theory of archi- tecture, walking into the Rosenbaum ' s house makes a lot more sense. The structure has three major construction features of a Usonian house: board-and-batten walls, horizontal planning A TREASURE HOUSE. Built in 1940, the Rosenbaum House, designed by world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is said to capture the purest form of Wright ' s Usonian concept of housing floreyvoe grid and an under floor heating system. The house also features built-in furniture and lighting, cantilevered car- ports, multi-level rooflines, outside access from almost any room and elevations that follow the natural contours of the building site. On first stepping inside the Rosenbaum House Museum, you may feel like you ' ve been sucked into a time machine and spit back out into a very small person ' s Brady Bunch-inspired home. The over-power- ing smell of old library books leads you down a narrow hallway of nothing but book shelves and into a sparsely decorated liv- ing room. Like most of the furiiiture built by Wright for the house, the living room chairs. — ' . 1 m ■ - ■ l hil K: ' ' •
