Pell grant change



may aid students


The Writings on The Wall
Nicki Mohr, left, and Ashley Orynich paint the word "Soror-a-whore" on a concrete block
as part of the Writing on the Wall project Tuesday afternoon. The wall will be construct-
ed on the Plaza of the Americas, where it will be demolished by students on Friday. The
Writing on the Wall project was brought to UF in 2002.

Starting in 2006, students receiving
Pell grants might be able to cover more
of their college expenses if Congress
approves in February a plan to increase
the maximum award by $100 per fear
for five years. .
That means UF students receiving
the grant could be better prepared
to face annually rising tuition costs,
which stand at $174 more thi- \ ear for
students attempting 15 credit hL'ui-
than the\ did in the 2003-04 academic
year.
The proposed changes would in-
crease the maximum award approxi-
mately 12 percent by 2010, raising it
from .4 ,,I0 to $4,550.
The inrea.se probably will only
keep up with inflation and do little to
close the gap between rising tuition
and a Pell grant that has been stagnant
for three years, said Karen Fooks, di-
rector of student financial affairs.
"It probably means you're treading
water," she said.
President Bush announced the plan
in Jacksonville on Friday, weeks after
he supported a change in the federal
financial aid formula that is expected
to leave more than one million stu-
dents with a smaller. Pell grant and
almost 90,000 without any grant at all,


according to the American Council on
Education.
Low-income students receive be-
tween $400 and $4,050 depending on
the result of the formula, which calcu-
lates their financial need and the cost of
college, among other things. The cur-
rent formula uses 1988 tax data, while
the new one will use 2002 information,
leaving some students looking richer
on paper next year than they did this
year.
The $100 increase
might help buffer
the effect of the for-
mula for some stu-
dents, Fooks'said.
Of the more than
one million students
Bush expected to lose a
few hundred dollars
in grants, the increase might make up
for the cut.
And some of those 90,000 students
who would fall short of the "cusp of
eligibility" might still get a minimal
award because of the extra $100, she
said.
"There would be a ripple effect,"
she said.
The Pell grant program is $4 billion
in debt, and the new formula could
save the government $300 million, ac-
cording to the American Council on

Following the worst natural disaster in
documented history that washed away the
lives of more than 162,000 people in Asia

has made America's contribution $13,700
larger, a number that continues to grow.

The group, which consists of 20 campus

$6,200 so far and plans -to make its first con-
tribution at the end of this month to Direct

The group will continue to collect dona-

Dicks said he was "pleasantly surprised"
at the outpouring of support.
The IFC originally planned on matching
the amount collected, but Dicks said after
the final figures were in, it was clear that
expectations of $500 to $600 were greatly
exceeded.
In keeping with its original promise,
however, the IFC will donate $700.
The Panhellenic Council reported its
volunteers collected $2,500 during the first
three days of Spring semester.

SG Web site due for user-friendly transformation


* THE CURRENT SITE IS
FAULTY AND OUT OF DATE.

By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Writer
bcarey@alligator.org

A Student Government Web
site plagued with faults was
something Adam Roberts said
he couldn't stand looking at any
longer.
Roberts, SG's technology
cabinet director, shared his vision
Tuesday to establish a factually
correct, updated and useful SG


Web site for all UF students, in-
stead of having a site that he calls
"not user-friendly."
After presenting changes,
Roberts said the next step would
be to hire a company to re-design
the page and then hire a student
to maintain it.
The student previously em-
ployed to update the site had to
leave UF this. semester because
of personal reasons, Roberts said.
But the- departure was not the
sole reason for the site's prob-
lems, he said.
The site features multiple


pages of incorrect, missing and
outdated information and hy-
perlinks, including informa-
tion regarding senator contacts
and photos, senate committee
members, information about the
Student Senate
S n1t president and
pro-tempore
and all legisla-
tion since the start of the Spring
semester.
As a flagship university re-
cord, the site is nowhere near
the quality it should be, Roberts
said, adding that he and his team


will be modeling it after North
Carolina State University's SG
Web site.
"Everything they have is what
we're trying to emulate," Roberts
said.
He is working to create a da-
tabase that would show students
exactly what each senator and
elected official has done during
their term. This would include
a listing of what legislation a
senator or executive officer has
authored as well as a senator's
voting history.
"It gives the average student


an idea of what their senator has
been up to lately," Roberts said.
But aside from factual errors,
Roberts said another problem
was that, "the average student
has no reason to visit this Web
site."
Plans to lure non-SG visitors
would include a Web log and
message boards, he said.
He says the upcoming SG
Spring election and students with
differing political ambitions will
not hinder the site's improve-
ments, which he says could be
done by the end of February.

Gene may hold key to high blood pressure illness


* THE GENE'S ACTION RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO
COLD-WEATHER SITUATIONS.
By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org
As thermometers took a plunge in recent days, blood pres-
sures have been climbing higher, and a UF study may have
isolated the gene to thwart this phenomenon.
Dr. Zhongjie Sun, a UF assistant professor of physiology
and medicine, has located a gene that may be the culprit
behind cold weather-related high blood pressure and re-
sultant illnesses, such as hypertension and coronary heart
disease.
The American Heart Association granted Sun a
four-year, $260,000 grant for his research, which will be
published in the February issue of American Journal of
Physiology Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative
Physiology.


Winter months have the highest rate of cardiovascular
deaths, Sun said. Since blood vessels naturally constrict in
cold weather to warm the body, this affects a rise in blood
pressure.
Fifty million Americans are believed to have abnor-
mally high blood pressure, or hypertension, with one-third
of them unaware they have the condition, according to the
American Heart Association.
Additionally, the AHA passed stricter
UF guidelines to define hypertension in 2003.
Research Normal blood pressure used to be 120
over 80, said Jane Cullen, director of nurs-
ing at the Student Health Care Center.
"That's now considered pre-hypertension," Cullen said.
While the SHCC has not had any specific cold-related
cases of hypertension, there is a general trend of more
young people with high blood pressure, Cullen said.
Stress, alcohol and cigarette smoking are among the
most common factors that potentially could increase stu-
dents' blood pressure, Cullen said.
Sun studied a .group of genetically engineered mice


lacking AT1A receptors, which receive the blood vessel-
constricting hormone angiotensin II. The mice without
the gene that provides for these receptors and a control
group of unaltered mice were kept at a constant 44 degrees
Fahrenheit for five weeks.
At the conclusion of testing, the control group had a 40-
percent higher rate of hypertension than the mice without
the gene believed responsible for high blood pressure.
Even with Florida's mild winters, Sun-said this is a
trend that should be of concern.
"Forty-four degrees Fahrenheit is an average tempera-
ture of the Gainesville winter," Sun said.
"Even a short-term exposure to the cold, or a part of
your body like the hand, is enough to increase your blood
pressure significantly."
To protect against cooler weather, Sun suggests wearing
layered clothing, avoiding heavy, heart-straining work and
limiting alcohol consumption.
"Alcohol may give you a temporary feeling of warmth,
but it will lead to a loss of heat and (possibly) hypother-
.mia," Sun said.


AROUND GAINESVILLE

Building proposal reconciles progress and posterity


By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nhughes@alligator.org
Officials charged with the difficult task
of preserving historic city structures while
encouraging development may have found
their solution.
SIn a meeting of the Historic Preservation
Board on Monday, board members discussed
a proposal recommending the University
Heights Special Area Plan of 2000 be modified
to include provisions for historic buildings.
The affected area lies between the UF cam-
pus and downtown Gainesville, including a
number of fraternity and sorority houses.
Peter Prugh, a UF professorof architecture,
serves as head of the board and authored the


proposed design guidelines for the University
Heights Historic District.
"This neighborhood is going to change,"
Prugh said, "but there are pieces of it that we
want to protect."
SThe goal of the University Heights plan is
to aid university-related developments, such
as apartment buildings, between the campus
and downtown to reduce traffic and increase
pedestrian activity.

Other housing projects being considered
include multi- and single-family homes in
hopes of increasing diversity in the area.
Prugh said the goal is to, approach the
proposal as an amendment to the University
Heights Special Area Plan, rather than group
it with other historic guidelines for the rest of
the city.


This way, Prugh said, the plans for
University Heights would not be dependent
upon the passage of other plans.
"This neighborhood is going to
change, but there are pieces of it
that we want to protect."
Peter Prugh
Head of the Historic Preservation Board

"[The University Heights Historic District
is] worth saving," he said. "We need some
regulations in here that will bridge these two
ideas."
Jay Reeves, a local architect and member
of the board, said the proposal will allow for
more flexibility regarding historic rules and


development in the area.
"This is more tailored toward the district
itself," Reeves said. "It lets the plans co-exist
with the redevelopment district instead of
conflicting."
Incorporating the two plans would make
regulations easier for potential future devel-
opment, Reeves said.
Emphasizing that the council is meant to
be reasonable and flexible, Prugh said they
would hear any case in which this proposal
could upset current residents.
S"There are going to be conditions in here
where people face hardships," he said. "That's
what the board is for."
The council will meet again Feb. 1 to final-
ize the proposal before presenting it to the city
of Gainesville.

Transition smooth after Santa Fe VP's resignation


* THE SEARCH FOR RE-
PLACEMENT BEGINS IN FALL.

By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org

Despite the sudden loss of
a top administrator, Santa Fe
Community College is doing busi-
ness as usual.
"It's been almost a seam-


less transition," SFCC President
Jackson Sasser said.
Former Vice President for
Academic Affairs Nancee Bailey
resigned suddenly Jan. 9, leaving a
vacancy in one of the most impor-
tant seats on campus.
Anne Kress, an SFCC employee
for more than 10 years, is now the
interim vice president.
"It just wasn't a good fit," Kress
said of Bailey.
During her tenure, Kress hopes


to foster collabo-

the college's
departments and
7 .promote faculty
S; involvement,
she said.
SFCC spokes-
Sasser man Larry Keen
echoed Sasser's
sentiment of an undisturbed
switch and added that Bailey's
unpopular plan to reorganize the


college's departments has been
"scrapped."
The search for a permanent
replacement will begin in the Fall
and will be conducted by the same
committee that hired Bailey. Sasser
said he hopes to find and induct a
new vice president by early 2006.
As for the present, Sasser said
SFCC has been strengthened by
the change.
"It's a good day for the college.
We were fortunate to have some-


one of Anne Kress's experience
and professionalism to step in for
us," he said.
Kress will continue at SFCC
after her year as vice president of
academic affairs "in a role to be
determined," she said.
Kress formerly worked in the
English department at SFCC's
main campus. She holds two
bachelor's degrees from UF and is
working on a doctorate in educa-
tion there.


LP release party lacks CD


Strikeforce Diablo celebrated the re-
lease of its first LP, "The Albatross and
the Architect," on Tuesday -night at
Atlantic.
Only one thing was missing: the CD.
The Gainesville-based punk band start-
ed recording the LP in 2002, and from there,
everything went wrong.
Its recording studio blew up. Then, the
guy designing the CD layout moved away
... and took his half-finished designs with
him.
"It's been very hard," said Matt
Sweeting, bassist for SD. "We definitely
had to want it."
When the band members scheduled the
CD release party a few months ago, they
were sure the CDs would arrive in plenty of
time, Sweeting said.
Off the But despite placing its order
AeV Bai-- in October, the band still is wait-
ing to receive the CDs with cor-
rect face labels.
Nevertheless, Strikeforce Diablo hit the
stage Tuesday night with Loaded For Bear
and close friends, Army of Ponch.
"All the members [of Strikeforce Diablo
and Ponch] have been really good friends
for tons of years. That's our little posse,"
Ponch guitarist Ryan Geis said.
Though Geis (don't call him Ryan) just
joined Ponch before its European tour a
year ago, he's had an appreciation for the
Gainesville music scene for a long time.
"Strikeforce Diablo has always been one
of my favorites," he said.
Loaded For Bear and the headliners
never had played together before, but it


Swas in the works for
some time, Sweeting
said.
sad So although the
CD wasn't officially
Keeley McCarty released before the
Playlist party in its honor, the
kmccarty@ailigator.org guys of Strikeforce
Diablo didn't let that
ruin the fun.
"The best part of this band, for me, is
that we really enjoy each other as people,
and I think that's reflected in the way we
play," Sweeting said.
And fans weren't totally left out in the
cold.
The band sold visually unfinished but
musically complete CDs at the show to any-
one who wanted them.
Strikeforce Diablo's sound could be best
described as post-hardcore, with strong
steady vocals and powerful guitar the
type of punk that rips you out of your seat.
In addition to the material on their self-
titled EP and selections from the delayed
LP, Strikeforce Diablo played some new
songs it recently put together.
If you missed the band at Atlantic,
which is conveniently managed by drum-
mer Kevin Scott, Strikeforce Diablo usually
travels through Florida once a month.
Last month, it played in Miami, Orlando,
Jacksonville and Gainesville, and the band
aims to make it up to Atlanta next month.
And hopefully, the band will release
some new material soon.
"We write them pretty fast," Sweeting
said.

Editorial


Natural bias

Harvard leader implies

genders may be unequal
M ore than ever, the idea that all people are born equal
is taking hold.
The country on Monday payed respect in a
national holiday to one of the most influential civil rights
leaders in history.
Next month will be a celebration of similar visionaries
who have paved the way for the society and the freedoms
we enjoy today.
Despite these advances, however, there are some peo-
ple who still would like to see social thought sent back to
the Stone Age.
Unfortunately, the most glaring recent evidence of this
comes from the highest levels of our educational system.
In a conference Friday, Lawrence H. Summers, presi-
dent of Harvard University, suggested the relative lack of
successful women in the fields of math and science might
be because of inherent biological differences between the
sexes.
Yes, that's right he said women naturally may be
inferior to men in some areas of scholarship.
Summers proposed this idea in the spirit of scientific
inquiry, but that doesn't change its inherently discrimina-
tory nature.
He offered evidence such as that male students tend to
score higher and lower scores on standardized math tests
in high school than female students, a fact in which he be-
lieves biological differences may be a factor.
It's not surprising a number of female scholars in at-
tendance left the room while he was making these state-
ments.
This barely would be tolerable if it came from'some ag-
ing professor who thinks women's suffrage is something
that happens during'childbirth. At least then only the 20
or so students unlucky enough to find only his class open
during drop/add would have to deal with him.
From the leader of the country's most prestigious uni-
versity and one of the most important figures in educa-
tion it is unacceptable.
Arguments that he was hired as a prominent economist
instead of as Harvard president are ridiculous. He has a
standard of conduct befitting his office to uphold regard-
less of where, when or why he is speaking.
Once the public outcry against his statements became
heated, Summers tried to save face by complaining his
statements were misunderstood.
He was careful, however, not to actually refute the
meaning of his words.
The basic flavor of his responses was summed up when
he said, "I'm sorry for any misunderstanding but believe
that raising questions, discussing multiple factors that
may explain a difficult problem and seeking to understand
how they interrelate is vitally important."
He further said people were wrong to believe he meant
women could not succeed at the highest levels of math and
science.
Of course, this still leaves plenty of room for them to be
perceived as subordinate to men.
Despite his intentions, Summers' words cannot be de-
fended by statements claiming them to be in the interest of
scientific inquiry.
It is no less wrong to say people may be genetically
inferior in their understanding of certain concepts because
'of gender than it is to say this because of race.
That sort of unthinking discrimination has no place in
our society, much less our universities.

Letters to the Editor
Exploitation prevention is goal of choice
Editor: The most dangerous aspect of
pro-life advocacy is its potential to deliver a
new rash of sex crimes.
If Roe v. Wade were overturned, any
man would be able to rape any woman in
America and force her to have the baby.
The number of women raped each year us-'
ing Rohypnol would increase tenfold once
childless couples with high-dollar lawyers
figure out they can bully a young woman
of modest means into giving up her baby
- a baby forced inside her as she lay un-
conscious.
It sickens me to think my sisters and
nieces could be at risk of enslavement as
unconsenting baby-factories.
Many pro-choice people are parents
themselves who love babies. No one here
is "in favor" of abortion, just as no Second
Amendment advocate is "inr favor" of gun
violence. Rather, the latter point out that
citizens who cannot bear arms become vul-
nerable to predators. If women cannot con-
trol what goes on inside their own bodies,
they will be exploited for their reproductive
powers.
So I'll agree with those who claim "pro-
choice" does not fully describe the moral
values of people who support Roe v. Wade.
"Anti-exploitation" is- a much better
term.

Holiday celebrates liberties for all races
Editor: Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not
a black holiday. It sickens me the way peo-
ple and the media treat this and other civil
rights holidays. Instead of just asking black
Americans year after year how they think
America has progressed or is progressing,
how about asking some white Americans
every once in while, or asking Asian-
Americans. Or, better yet, how about asking
a politician holding elective office? The Civil
Rights Movement did not only involve black
people; we're missing the point.
During Black History Month, try to learn
or teach about other leaders besides MLK
Jr. and Malcolm X. Many other men and
women were and are involved in the great
American fight for equality.

Inauguration shows big-money interests
Editor: Surely some Bush-lovers have
to cringe at the ever-increasing price tag
on this week's inauguration. I'll spare you
the obvious "tsunami victims dying by
the thousands from disease, etc.".- we all
know they'll be comforted by mental images
of American high rollers blowing huge wads
of cash to rub against Bush.
The reason people spend $100,000 to at-
tend these parties is because they will save
that much in taxes during Bush's tenure. If
you think the election was about the war,
you were.duped. If you think it was about


moral values, you're an idiot.
Republicans are Republicans because it's
in their best financial interest to put a guy in
office that will do whatever he can to keep
tax rates low. It is as simple as that. President
Bush is rich, he was born rich and his loyal-
ties are to the rich. His rich friends are now
throwing rich parties because Bush saves
them ridiculous amounts of money.
If you voted for Bush and aren't saving
thousands of dollars on your taxes this year,
then you were bought. These people that are
paying through the nose to snort coke in the
vicinity of G-Dub are the ones that bought
you.
Moral issues? Christian values?- Iraqi and
American boys are killing each other daily.
Tsunami victims are dying in droves. Let's
do all we can to help by drinking ourselves
silly and snorting ourselves stupid.
That's my kind of leader.

Column misses benefits of bicycle use
Editor: Where does Andrew Meyer get
off encouraging UF students not to ride their
bikes?
Throughout my four years in Gainesville,
not much has made me as happy as getting
some exercise and enjoying our beautiful
Florida weather while riding my bike to
class, work or a friend's apartment. Nothing
in Gainesville is more than a few miles away,
and riding my bike to class is quicker than


taking the bus and more enjoyable than sit-
ting in my car. I agree with Andrew that our
streets are overcrowded not by bikes, but
by cars that pollute and congest our southern
college town. Fellow Gators, make a healthy,
inexpensive and environmentally conscious
decision to put down your car keys, flip up
your kickstand and ride like the wind.

Students ambivalent to SG controversy
Editor: For the past week, I have picked
up my copy of the Alligator and had to
read about "nime-stealing" within Student
Government. And each day I chuckle and
proceed to show my friends an article show-
ing a very humorous situation.
I believe that SG takes themselves way
too seriously. A lot of the members of SG are
in it just to pad their resumes.
I beg you to stop giving a forum for their
whining. No one but themselves cares about
this "name game." In no way does it effect
how I'll vote, because I still won't. No matter
which party is elected, life on campus will
not change one bit. In fact, the only time I
notice SG is when they pass out a million
flyers-before the election. Please SG, stop
concerning yourselves with silly names and
start concerning yourselves with under-
standing your roles as ambassadors of the
common student.

Dispute ends in stabbing


Valdez spill lingers


By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org

An argument escalated into a
Gainesville man's attempt to strangle
his roommate with a guitar string late
Monday afternoon, reports state.
"I just stabbed the [exlletive]
inside in the neck, and the knife
is in my pocket."
Anthony H. Hurley
Assault suspect

Anthony H. Hurley, 25, allegedly at-
tacked Nathan E. Johnson, 30, after an ar-
gument in their shared residence, 306 N.W.
Eighth St., according to Gainesville Police
Department reports.
Aided by fellow residents Gregory V.
Davis, 43, and David J. Butler, 18, Johnson


was able to fend off Hurley's initial attack.
However, shortly afterward, Hurley alleg-
edly discarded the string and lunged at
Johnson with a pocketknife.
GPD responded to a call from Johnson,
who said he had been stabbed in the right
side of his neck and identified Hurley. .
Davis and Butler managed to separate
the roommates, but Hurley fled, taking off
toward Northwest Third Avenue, where
he was later picked up by police.
"I just stabbed the [expletive] inside in
the neck, and the knife is in my pocket,"
Hurley said, upon being approached'by
GPD officers::
A knife with blood on the blade was
found in the pocket of Hurley's jeans.
Hurley was taken to the Alachua
County Jail and is facing aggravated bat-
tery charges.
Johnson was taken to Shands to be
treated for his injuries, which are not life-
threatening.

However, the "real solution" to increase the Pell

Accent coffers


receive $30K

* THE SPEAKER'S BUREAU STILL HAS ABOUT
$100,000 FOR PRE-BUDGETED PROJECTS.

By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org

Small student organizations may continue to count
on Accent, UF's speakers bureau, to help bring well-
known orators for the rest of the semester.
An additional $30,000 was added to Accent's co-
sponsorship budget Tuesday by the Student Senate,
allowing the bureau to meet an increasing number of
requests to aid smaller campus groups. Three groups
have come to Accent for help since the funds initially
were approved last week, Chairman David Buchalter
said.
Accent still has about $100,000 in its budget for
its own programs. The additional $30,000 will fund
joint events that were not planned when the bureau's
budget was approved, Accent Treasurer Evan Tyroler
said.
"We're not over-budgeting at all," he added.
Student Sen. Jason Sherry said during the meeting
that while he supported Accent, he recommended sen-
ators be more cautious about repeatedly funding orga-
nizations after they've exceeded their yearly budget.
He reminded senators of additional funding
needed two years ago by Student Government
Productions.
"Let's do it at the right time and not throughout
the year," Sherry said.









Groups seek new recruits at student organization fair


* MORE THAN 180 CAMPUS
CLUBS ARE PARTICIPATING.

By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
Chris Thompson walked
through the Reitz Union
Colonnade on Tuesday afternoon,
grinning enthusiastically as he
left the table where the Outdoor
Adventure and Recreation Club
was passing out fliers.
Thompson, a first-year finance
major, came to the Spring Student
Organization Fair .to find out
about business organizations on
campus.
"I was planning to join the
Business Administration College
Council," Thompson said. "I
didn't expect to also sign up for a
club that would take me whitewa-
ter rafting and mountain biking."
The Outdoor Adventure and
Recreation Club and Business
Administration College Council
are just two of 180 organizations
involved in this semester's fair.
The IDEAL-sponsored event
will continue today from 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. and will feature everything
from honors societies and service
organizations to dance clubs and
political activist groups.
"There's a little bit of every-
thing," said Emily Rouse, chair-
woman of the fair. "I feel that any
student who passes through the
colonnade today will be able to


find something that they can iden-
tify with."
Many stood in line to become
a part of the Writing on the Wall
project, a UF tradition in which
students paint blocks with words
of oppression and later knock them
down in a symbolic ceremony.
The Amelie Poulain Society, a
new organization, recruited mem-
bers who would like to participate
in random acts of kindness.
"We want to do things that
an ordinary student organiza-
tionr wouldn't do," club director
Natalie Regalado said. "We meet
for no reason other than to do nice
things."
Colleges Against
On Cancer, an organiza-
CampuS tion honoring cancer
survivors and those
who have been affected by cancer,
recruited teams and survivors to
attend the annual Relay for Life
fund-raiser. This is the first year
the event will be held on campus.
"Participating in Relay for
Life is a fun way to join the fight
against cancer," said Patricia Chun,
a graduate student and president
of Colleges Against Cancer.
Organizations used a variety
of tactics to attract students pass-
ing by their tables. Though many
passed out fliers and pamphlets,
some had other ways of generat-
ing publicity.
One : group, the Hip-Hop
Collective, set up a boom-box and
break-danced.

i, ALHGATQR WPEDINFSDAYIJAN1JAR-y .19, 2005


At 6-foot-8.
235 pounds the
says he's one inch
taller). freshman
Al Horford doesn't
play the sissy in
with Al Horford he paint. With
a knack for
shot-blocking,
Horford already logs plenty of minutes. At 66
percent, he's not a bad shooter, either. Maybe
that's why his father, Tito. refuses to play his
son one-on-one. Al welcomes \ou into his world
as ne answers this week's question session
with Louis Anastasis.

Q: What is the most memorable thing ,ou re-
member about the Dominican Republic?
A: I lived there for 14 years and I still go visit.
The basketball there is a different style of play
than here. The people are different. I guess
they're nicer and-friendlier. I mean, people
here are friendly, but I would say they're more


friendly and open about stuff there.
Q: Did people in the Dominican Republic ask
you why you were playing basketball and not
baseball?
A: Why basketball, right? When I was growing
up I knew Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa and
those guys personally because they know my
dad and they know my monm. who's a journal-
ist, too. I was always encouraged to play base-
ball, and I did play baseball 'tl I was about 9,
but I like basketball better.

Q: If I walk into your dad's house right now,
what's the coolest piece of NBA memorabilia
that I find displayed from his playing days?
A: He had a pretty good game against the
Indiana Pacers in the playoffs. I think he had
a double-double maybe 24 and 15. He has
a ball fronm.that game. He always remembers
that game and talks about it.

Q: So your Dad won't play you one-on-one?
What's the deal with that?
A: I honestly don't know. He'd rather play


horse all day than play me one-on-one. When
I was younger, he used to win that all the time.
My junior year, I started winning. But we're
about even, I'd say.

Q: What's the best thing he's taught you for
your game?
A: Probably just the jump hook. That was
the thing that, when I got here, he forced
me to do ... And I've been to a couple of
NBA camps in high school, and he weht to
those too. And he told me, "Make sure you
work on that and face the basket.' Stuff like
that.

Q: What's the key to your blocking ability?
A: I think if you don't go fakes, mabe, and
just stay on the ground. Be smart. You just
have to time it.

Q: If you and David Lee both get running
starts toward the basket, where does he
touch on the backboard and where do you


touch?
A: I don't know, but I know that I have a
38-inch running vertical. David would prob-
ably get higher, but I can probably get pretty
nigh. Maybe it's because I have really long
arms. That helps.

Q: What player would you most fear facing in
the post?
A: Probably Kevin Garnern. Shaq's intimidat-
ing too, but I don't think I'd have to guard
him.

Q: You've obviously been doing all right at
your height. But how good would you be if you
were seven foot?
A: I don't know. That'd have to be up to
you. What do you think? Right now I'm
about 6'9" and a half. I hope I can get as
tall as 6'11". I've been growing constantly
since high school. Two inches would defi-
nitely help.

LJF leads SEC in academic honors


STAFF REPORT

The Gators experienced a tumultuous football sea-
an, but also a conference-leading academic semester.
UF led the Southeastern Conference
with 48 student-athletes named to the
2004 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll in
conference-sponsored sports. Of the
48, 26 were football players, which
led the conference as well.
The Gators also led the SEC with
S 15 soccer players on the Honor Roll
ak and tied Alabama, Georgia and'
4ississippi with seven volleyball recipients.
Football recipients included Chris Leak, Mike Degory
nd Vernell Brown. Soccer honorees included Melanie


Booth, Ashley Kellgren and Stephanie Freeman.
The 2004 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll is based on
grades from the 2004 Spring, Summer and Fall terms. A
student-athlete needs a 3.0 grade point average for the
academic year or a 3.0 cumulative average to be named
to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

TRACK STAR HONORED: Two days after shattering
her own collegiate record in the weight throw at the
Florida Intercollegiate meet, UF All-American Candice
Scott -was named the United States Track Coaches
Association Athlete of the Week.
Scott's toss of 23.52 meters shattered her previous
mark of 23.15 meters, which she set at the Clemson
SOpener on Dec. 3.
It was the fori tl1 tinme in her UF career that Scott.has

UF, no one ever doubted his abil-
ity to recruit. -
His last two recruiting classes
were ranked among the best in
the nation, and he always prom-
ised this one would have been
the best.
Now, Meyer must build re-
lationships with high schoolers
already wooed by Zook. To make
matters worse, former running
backs coach and recruiting co-
ordinator Mike Locksley left UF
last week to coach with Zook at
Illinois.
"Anytime you lose a quality
coach he's a good recruiter
and a good coach it hurts us,"
Meyer said.
Though Meyer is familiariz-
ing himself with south Florida,
he hasn't .come unprepared.
Doc Holliday, a former assistant
coach from North Carolina State
and West Virginia with recruiting
roots in south Florida, has been
brought on board by Meyer.
"What I wanted to do was hire
the coach who recruited down
here for a long time," Meyer said.
"So Doc Holliday was the guy
everybody knows for the last 25
years he's recruited down here.
And it's already been the third
time I've been down here."

ships. When the coaches begin targeting next year's
prospects in May, they'll be able to sell what they
haven't sold since 2001 brand-name wins. Also,
Meyer's salesmen will attack South Florida door-
steps. UF assistant Doc Holliday already knows the
area, since he recruited it while at N.C. State and West
Virginia.
The sun in Gator Nation could come out soon. Top
receiver prospects DeSean Jackson, Patrick Turner
and David Nelson, along with stud linebacker recruit
Brian Cushing, are considering Gainesville.
So don't panic, and don't be too quick to criticize.
If nothing else, the Gators will still have a better re-
cruiting class than Duke.

process and Matt's rehabilitation of his
ankle is going very well," Donovan said.
"I probably don't feel like it's going to be
the 4-6 weeks we talked about. It's prob-
ably going to be a little bit sooner."
Donovan, however, could not specify
a possible date of return, as Walsh has
been unable to practice with the team.
"Until he gets to a point where he can
show me in practice, running up and

"then we can give him an opportunity
to play"
Many teammates believe his return
could come as soon as this week.
"I think Matt is getting better
day-by-day," junior guard Anthony
Roberson said after the Gators' win over
Vanderbilt. "Even though he didn't come
with us, I know he watched this game,
and I know he's at home going crazy. But
I.think he'll be back with us Wednesday
or next Saturday."
Donovan, however, cautioned that
players tend to underestimate the heal-
ing process.
"I think anytime our players see a guy
out there running around, they think,
'OK, he's pretty close to being able to
play,'" Donovan said.
According to Donovan, Walsh can
now shoot and run straight ahead
without pain and could possibly handle
lateral movement.
"Now, the big part is: Can he handle
contact?" Donovan asked.
Walsh didn't fly with the team to
Nashville because of an ear infection.

OUT AGAIN: Junior forward Adrian Moss
had an MRI Monday to help determine
whether he will need surgery to correct
bulging discs in his back, Donovan said.
The disc is hitting a nerve in Moss'
back, causing pain to pulse down to his
leg, Donovan said.
Donovan said Moss will miss the

FAMILIAR FOES: After returning to his
home state for Saturday's game, sopho-

face a familiar opponent when Tennessee
visits the O'Connell Center tonight at 7.
Humphrey, who grew up 20 miles
from Knoxville in Maryville, Tenn., said
that he doesn't place any more emphasis
on this game.
"It's just another conference game
that we need to win really bad," said
Humphrey, who is starting in Walsh's
place. "It is always-fun to beat the school

than any other SEC game."
Humphrey said his parents and

signees tour,.


meet staff

By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Writer
eesteban@alligator.org

The Gators played host to recruits for the sec-
ond straight weekend, but instead of seven high
school seniors getting a taste of orange and blue,
only three recruits made the trip to UF this time.
Offensive lineman Simon Codrington,
ranked No. 48 in the nation by.Scout.com, put a
positive spin on the small number.
"The fact that I was there with only two other
guys was a major plus for me," Codrington said.
"I went to Tallahassee last week and the large
number of guys didn't give me that much ac-
cess."
Codrington, a 6-foot-7, 255-pound tackle
from South Miami Senior
High School, was hosted by
former teammate and cur-
rent Gators linebacker Javier
,. Estopinan.
S "It was a lot of fun getting
S 1 a chance to talk to Javier about
the school," Codrington said.
eyer "He showed me what it was
like being a student there."
However, Codrington's most lasting impres-
sion came not from the city, but rather from the
new head coach. Codrington got a chance to
meet Meyer and new offensive line coach John
Hevesy, and said he was blown away by the
experience.
"There hasn't been one place I've been to in
which I got to talk to the head coach so much,"
Codrington said. "I loved getting a chance to
talk to him about everything."
Besides UF, Codrington's choices include a
Florida State, North Carolina State and West
Virginia, which he will visit this week.
Doug Worthington, an Ohio State oral com-
mitment, also made the trip to Gainesville, but his
heart remained in Buckeye country. Scout.com's
No. 4 defensive end, Worthington was hosted
by freshman linebacker Brandon Siler but came
away still committed to Ohio State.
The third visitor, running back Mikell
Simpson, said his visit to Gainesville was great.
UF continues to pursue the talented back despite
scholarship offers from Alabama, Nebraska,
Virginia and Michigan State.
Oral commitments are non-binding until a
national letter-of-intent is signed on National
Signing Day on Feb. 2.

Gators undefeated in SEC play


Lee, Roberson leading team


-By BRYAN APP
- i. Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org


Talk about a U-turn.
Prior to the Southeastern
Conference season opener against
Arkansas on Jan. 8, the Gators went
8-3 during a non-conference sched-
ule that ranked 172nd out of 326
Division I teams.
They lost to Miami and Florida
State in the same season for
the first time since 1964, lost to
NCAA Tournament-worthy No. 14
Louisville at home and lost then-
leading scorer Matt Walsh with a
high ankle sprain.
Forgotten by the AP pollsters,
-the Gators have won three consecu-
tive conference games, including
back-to-back road games, garnering
votes for the first time since the FSU
loss.
Tonight at 7, UF has the oppor-
tunity to continue that momentum
against Tennessee at the O'Connell
Center, as the Gators (11-3, 3-0 SEC)
begin a three-game homestand.
Some UF players are confident
that the month-ending home slate,
ending with South Carolina on Jan.
29. will provide the Gators with a
Straw tegic advantage before facing a
rigorous February schedule that in-
cludes No. 19 Mississippi State, No.
22 Alabama and No. 8 Kentucky.
"If anything, I think it's the


Univeritv of .Floridais time right

"It's been easy with Al and

getting out on the break for us. You
can tell we have a fun time playing


together."

been working in my favor."
But despite UF's recent turn-
around, Coach Billy Donovan in-
sists it doesn't mean that rhuch in
the long run.
He's just trying to get his team
focused-on a Tennessee team that
defeated Ni.sss.-- ppi Stat on ian.

"We hate a loni. \ a\v to go
Donovan said "We aren't Li en

the independent florida Not officials associated with the University of Florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. WE DNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2005 Pe grant change 'yds e rf~o-1 IMPmay aid students By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@aligator.org Starting in 2006, students receiving Pell grants might be able to cover more of their college expenses if Congress approves in February a plan to increase the maximum award by $100 per j'ear for five years. That means UF students receiving the grant could be better prepared to face annually rising tuition costs, which stand at $174 more this year for students attempting 15 credit hours than they did in the 2003-04 academic year. The proposed changes would increase the maximum award approximately 12 percent by 2010, raising it from $4,050 to $4,550. The increase probably will only keep up with inflation and do little to close the gap between rising tuition and a Pell grant that has been stagnant for three years, said Karen Fooks, director of student financial affairs. "It probably means you're treading water," she said. President Bush announced the plan in Jacksonville on Friday, weeks after he supported a change in the federal financial aid formula that is expected to leave more than one million students with a smaller Pell grant and almost 90,000 without any grant at all, according to the American Council on Education. Low-income students receive between $400 and $4,050 depending on the result of the formula, which calculates their financial need and the cost of college, among other things. The current formula uses 1988 tax data, while the new one will use 2002 information, leaving some students looking richer on paper next year than they did this year. The $100 increase might help buffer the effect of the formula for some students, Fooks said. Of the more than one million students Bush expected to lose a few hundred dollars in grants, the increase might make-up for the cut. And some of those 90,000 students who would fall' short of the "cusp of eligibility" might still get a minimal award because of the extra $100, she said. "There would be a ripple effect," she said. The Pell grant program is $4 billion in debt, and the new formula could save the government $300 million, according to the American Council on SEE PELL, PAGE 8 TSUNAMI RELIEF UF relief groups garner thousands, still collecting By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org Following the worst natural disaster in documented history that washed away the lives of more than 162,000 people in Asia this December, the Gainesville community has made America's contribution $13,700 larger, a number that continues to grow. "We didn't have an expectation," said Linh Nguyen, head of finances for Gators for Tsunami Relief. "But we did really well." The group, which consists of 20 campus organizations, has collected more than $6,200 so far and plans to make its first contribution at the end of this month to Direct Relief International. The group will continue to collect donations for an unspecified period of time. "It's a big tragedy that happened, and I'm glad people [used] their time and money to help," Nguyen said. The Greek community also collected funds to help those affected by the catastrophe. "It was a worldwide disaster that deserved worldwide attention," said Interfraternity Council President John Dicks. See complete coverage online at wwwz.alligator.org Fraternities raised $5,000 during Rush events, as well as at the Reitz Union and Turlington Plaza in the past few weeks. Dicks said he was "pleasantly surprised" at the outpouring of support. The IFC originally planned on matching the amount collected, but Dicks said after the final figures were in, it was clear that expectations of $500 to $600 were greatly exceeded. In keeping with its original promise, however, the IFC will donate $700. The Panhellenic Councif reported its volunteers collected $2,500 during the first three days of Spring semester.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 SG Web site due for user-friendly transformation N THE CURRENT SITE IS FAULTY AND OUT OF DATE. By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Writer bcarey@alligator.org A Student Government Web site plagued with faults was something Adam Roberts said he couldn't stand looking at any longer. Roberts, SG's technology cabinet director, shared his vision Tuesday to -establish a factually correct, updated and useful SIG Web site for all UF students, instead of having a site that he calls "not user-friendly." After presenting changes, Roberts said the next step would be to hire a company to re-design the page and then hire a student to maintain it. The student previously employed to update, the site had to leave UF this semester because of personal reasons, Roberts said. But the departure was not the sole reason for the site's problems, he said. The site features multiple pages of incorrect, missing and outdated information and hyperlinks, including information regarding senator contacts and photos, senate committee members, information about the Student Student Senate Oovemment president and pro-tempore and all legislation since the start of the Spring semester. As a flagship university record, the site is nowhere near the quality it should be, Roberts said, adding that he and his team will be modeling it after North Carolina State University's SG Web site. "Everything they have is what we're trying to emulate," Roberts said. He is working to create a database that would show students exactly what each senator and elected officIal has done during their term. This would include a listing of what legislation a senator or executive officer has authored as well as a senator's voting history. "It gives the average student an idea of what their senator has been up to lately," Roberts said. But aside from factual errors, Roberts said another problem was that, "the average student has no reason to visit this Web site." Plans to lure non-SG visitors would include a Web log and message boards, he said. He says the upcoming SG Spring election and students with differing political ambitions will not hinder the site's improvements, which he says could be done by the end of February. h 41% "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" :Only~' fins Cetrfetrn Our 150 Group Exercise Classes Weekly Tae it up Cardio Our version of Tae Bo.

4, ALLIGATOR WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2005 Gene may hold key to high blood pressure illness 0 THE GENE'S ACTION RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO COLD-WEATHER SITUATIONS. By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org As thermometers took a plunge in recent days, blood pressures have been climbing higher, and a UF study may have isolated the gene to thwart this phenomenon. Dr. Zhongjie Sun, a UF assistant professor of physiology and medicine, has located a gene that may be the culprit behind cold weather-related high blood pressure and resultant illnesses, such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. The American Heart Association granted Sun a four-year, $260,000 grant for his research, which will be published in the February issue of American Journal of Physiology -Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. Winter months have the highest rate of cardiovascular deaths, Sun said. Since blood vessels naturally constrict in cold weather to warm the body, this affects a rise in blood pressure. Fifty million Americans are believed to have abnormally high blood pressure, or hypertension, with one-third of them unaware they have the condition, according to the American Heart Association. Additionally, the AHA passed stricter U F guidelines to define hypertension in 2003. Research Normal blood pressure used to be 120 over 80, said Jane Cullen, director of nursing at the Student Health Care Center. "That's now considered pre-hypertension," Cullen said. While the SHCC has not had any specific cold-related cases of hypertension, there is a general trend of more young people with high blood pressure, Cullen said. Stress, alcohol and cigarette smoking are among the most common factors that potentially could increase students' blood pressure, Cullen said. Sun studied a group of genetically engineered mice lacking ATIA receptors, which receive the blood vesselconstricting hormone angiotensin II. The mice without the gene that provides for these receptors and a control group of unaltered mice were kept at a constant 44 degrees Fahrenheit for five weeks. At the conclusion of testing, the control group had a 40percent higher rate of hypertension than the mice without the gene believed responsible for high blood pressure. Even with Florida's mild winters, Sun said this is a trend that should be of concern. "Forty-four degrees Fahrenheit is an average temperature of the Gainesville winter," Sun said. "Even a short-term exposure to the cold, or a part of your body like the hand, is enough to increase your blood pressure significantly." To protect against cooler weather, Sun suggests wearing layered clothing, avoiding heavy, heart-straining work and limiting alcohol consumption. "Alcohol may give you a temporary feeling of warmth, but it will lead to a loss of heat and (possibly) hypothermia," Sun said. AROUND GAINESVILLE Building prOposa! rwCunviles progress adpstrt By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@alligator.org Officials charged with the difficult task of preserving historic city structures while encouraging development may have found their solution. .In a meeting of the Historic Preservation Board on Monday, board members discussed a proposal recommending the University Heights Special Area Plan of 2000 be modified to include provisions for historic buildings. The affected area lies between the UF campus and downtown Gainesville, including a number of fraternity and sorority houses. Peter Prugh, a UF professor-of architecture, serves as head of the board and authored the proposed design guidelines for the University Heights Historic District. "This neighborhood is going to change," Prugh said, "but there are pieces of it that we want to protect." The goal of the University Heights plan is to aid university-related developments, such as apartment buildings, between the campus and downtown to reduce traffic and increase pedestrian activity. Other housing projects being considered include multiand single-family homes in hopes of increasing diversity in the area. Prugh said the goal is to approach the proposal as an amendment to the University Heights Special Area Plan, rather than group it with other historic guidelines for the rest of the city. This way, Prugh said, the plans for University Heights would not be dependent upon the passage of othar plans. "This neighborhood is going to change, but there are pieces of it that we want to protect." Peter Prugh Head of the Historic Preservation Board "[The University Heights Historic District is] worth saving," he said. "We need some regulations in here that will bridge these two ideas." Jay Reeves, a local architect and member of the board, said the proposal will allow for more flexibility regarding historic rules and development in the area. "This is more tailored toward the district itself," Reeves said. "It lets the plans co-exist with the redevelopment district instead of conflicting." Incorporating the two plans would make regulations easier for potential future development, Reeves said. Emphasizing that the council is neant to be reasonable and flexible, Prugh said they would hear any case in which this proposal could upset current residents. "There are going to be conditions in here where people face hardships," he said. "That's what the board is for." The council will meet again Feb. 1 to finalize the proposal before presenting it to the city of Gainesville.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Transition moth after Santa Fe VP's resignation E THE SEARCH FOR REPLACEMENT BEGINS IN FALL. By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org Despite the sudden loss of a top administrator, Santa Fe Community College is doing business as usual. "It's been almost a seamless transition," SFCC PresidentJackson Sasser said. Former Vice President for Academic Affairs Nancee Bailey resigned suddenly Jan. 9, leaving a vacancy in one of the most important seats on campus. Anne Kress, an SFCC employee for more than 10 years, is now the interim vice president. "It just wasn't a good fit," Kress said of Bailey. During her tenure, Kress hopes to foster collaboration between the college's departments and promote faculty involvement, she said. SFCC spokesSasser man Larry Keen echoed Sasser's sentiment of an undisturbed switch and added that Bailey's unpopular plan to reorganize the college's departments has been "scrapped." The search for a permanent replacement will begin in the Fall and will be conducted by the same committee that hired Bailey. Sasser said he hopes to find and induct a new vice president by early 2006. As for the present, Sasser said SFCC has been strengthened by the change. "It's a good day for the college. We were fortunate to have someone of Anne Kress's experience and professionalism to step in for us," he said. Kress will continue at SFCC after her year as vice president of academic affairs "in a role to be determined," she said. Kress formerly worked in the English department at SFCC's main campus. She holds two bachelor's degrees from UF and is working on a doctorate in education there. trikeforce Diablo celebrated the release of its first LP, "The Albatross and the Architect," on Tuesday night at Atlantic. Only one thing was missing: the CD. The Gainesville-based punk band started recording the LP in 2002, and from there, everything went wrong. Its recording studio blew up. Then, the guy designing the CD layout moved away .and took his half-finished designs with him. "It's been very hard," said Matt Sweating, bassist for SD. "We definitely had to want it." When the band members scheduled the CD release party a few months ago, they were sure the CDs would arrive in plenty of time, Sweeting said., Off the But despite placing its order AVentIU in October, the band still is waiting to receive the CDs with correct face labels. Nevertheless, Strikeforce Diablo hit the stage Tuesday night with Loaded For Bear and close friends, Army of Ponch. "All the members [of Strikeforce Diablo and Ponch] have been really good friends for tons of years. That's our little posse," Ponch guitarist Ryan Geis said. Though Geis (don't call him Ryan) just joined Ponch before its European tour a year ago, he's had an appreciation for the Gainesville music scene for a long time. "Strikeforce Diablo has always been one of my favorites," he said. Loaded For Bear and the headliners never had played together before, but it was in the works for some time, Sweeting said. So although the CD wasn't officially Keeley McCarty released before the Playlist party in its honor, the kmccarty@aiigator.org guys of Strikeforce Diablo didn't let that ruin the fun. "The best part of this band, for me, is that we really enjoy each other as people, and I think that's reflected in the way we play," Sweeting said. .And fans weren't totally left out in the cold. The band sold visually unfinished but musically complete CDs at the show to anyone who wanted them. Strikeforce Diablo's sound could be best described as post-hardcore, with strong steady vocals and powerful guitar -the type of punk that rips you out of your seat. In addition to the material on their selftitled EP and selections from the delayed LP, Strikeforce Diablo played some new songs it recently put together. If you missed the band at Atlantic, which is conveniently managed by drummer Kevin Scott, Strikeforce Diablo usually travels through Florida once a month. -Last month, it played in Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville and Gainesville, and the band aims to make it up to Atlanta next month. And hopefully, the band will release some new material soon. "We write them pretty fast," Sweeting said. FED UP WITH THE REALITY THE MEDIA CREATES FOR YOU? START CREATING YOUR OWN!

6, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2005 Editorial Natural bias Harvard leader implies genders may be unequal More than ever, the idea that all people are born equal is taking hold. The country on Monday payed respect in a national holiday to one of the most influential civil rights leaders in history. Next month will be a celebration of similar visionaries who have paved the way for the society and the freedoms we enjoy today. Despite these advances, however, there are some people who still would like to see social thought sent back to the Stone Age. Unfortunately, the most glaring recent evidence of this comes from the highest levels of our educational system. In a conference Friday, Lawrence H. Summers, president of Harvard University, suggested the relative lack of successful women in the fields of math and science might be because of inherent biological differences between the sexes. Yes, that's right -he said women naturally may be inferior to men in some areas of scholarship. Summers proposed this idea in the spirit of scientific inquiry, but that doesn't change its inherently discriminatory nature. He offered evidence such as that male students tend to score higher and lower scores on standardized math tests in high school than female students, a fact in which he believes biological differences may be a factor. It's not suprising a number of female scholars in attendance left the room while h& was making these statements. This barely would be tolerable if it came from'some aging professor who thinks women's suffrage is something that happens duringchildbirth. At least then only the 20 or so students unlucky enough to find only his class open during drop/add would have to deal with him. From the leader of the country's most prestigious university -and one of the most important figures in education -it is unacceptable. Arguments that he was hired as a prominent economist instead of as Harvard president are ridiculous. He has a standard of conduct befitting his office to uphold regardless of where, when or why he is speaking. Once the public outcry against his statements became heated, Summers tried to save face by complaining his statements were misunderstood. He was careful, however, not to actually refute the meaning of his words. The basic flavor of his responses was summed up when he said, "I'm sorry for any misunderstanding but believe that raising questions, discussing multiple factors that may explain a difficult problem and seeking to understand how they interrelate is vitally important." He further said people were wrong to believe he meant women could not succeed at the highest levels of math and science. Of course, this still leaves plenty of room for them to be perceived as subordinate to men. Despite his intentions, Summers' words cannot be defended by statements claiming them to be in the interest of scientific inquiry. It is no less wrong to say people may be genetically inferior in their understanding of certain concepts because of gender than it is to say this because of race. That sort of unthinking discrimination has no place in our society, much less our universities. 0 the independent florida alligator Dwayne Robinson EDITOR Mite GirNignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR Lauren Flanagan Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Letters to the Editor Exploitation prevention is goal of choice Editor: The most dangerous aspect of pro-life advocacy is its potential to deliver a new rash of sex crimes. If Roe v. Wade were overturned, any man would be able to rape any woman in America and force her to have the baby. The number of women raped each year us-' ing Rohypnol would increase tenfold once childless couples with high-dollar lawyers figure out they can bully a young woman of modest means into giving up her baby -a baby forced inside her as she lay unconscious. It sickens me to think my sisters and nieces could be at risk of enslavement as unconsenting baby-factories. Many pro-choice people are parents themselves who love babies. No one here is "in favor" of abortion, just as no Second Amendment advocate is "in favor" of gun violence. Rather, the latter point out that citizens who cannot bear arms become vulnerable to predators. If women cannot control what goes on inside their own bodies, they will be exploited for their reproductive powers. So I'll agree with those who claim "prochoice" does not fully describe the moral values of people who support Roe v. Wade. "Anti-exploitation" is a much better term. Timothy Baker 8ED E E E Holiday celebrates liberties for all races Editor: Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not a black holiday. It sickens me the way people and the media treat this and other civil rights holidays. Instead of just asking black Americans year after year how they think America has progressed or is progressing, how about asking some white Americans every once in while, or asking AsianAmericans. Or, better yet, how about asking a politician holding elective office? The Civil Rights Movement did not only involve black people; we're missing the point. During Black History Month, try to learn or teach about other leaders besides MLK Jr. and Malcolm X. Many other men and women were and are involved in the great American fight for equality. Moji Yai UF Staff U U Inauguration shows big-money interests Editor: Surely some Bush-lovers have -to cringe at the ever-increasing price tag on this week's inauguration. I'll spare you the obvious "tsunami victims dying by the thousands from disease, etc.".we all know they'll be comforted by mental images of American high rollers blowing huge wads of cash to rub against Bush. The reason people spend $100,000 to attend these parties is because they will save that much in taxes during Bush's tenure. If you think the election was about the war, you were duped. If you think it was about moral values, you're an idiot. Republicans are Republicans because it's in their best financial interest to put a guy in office that will do whatever he can to keep tax rates low. It is as simple as that. President Bush is rich, he was born rich and his loyalties are to the rich. His rich friends are now throwing rich parties because Bush saves them ridiculous amounts of money. If you voted for Bush and aren't saving thousands of dollars on your taxes this year, then you were bought. These people that are paying through the nose to snort coke in the vicinity of G-Dub are the ones that bought you. Moralissues? Christian values? Iraqi and American boys are killing each other daily. Tsunami victims are dying in droves. Let's do all we can to help by drinking ourselves silly and snorting ourselves stupid. That's my kind of leader. Jim O'Loughlin 5EG U U Column misses benefits of bicycle use Editor: Where does Andrew Meyer get off encouraging UF students not to ride their bikes? Throughout my four years in Gainesville, not much has made me as happy as getting some exercise and enjoying our beautiful Florida weather while riding my bike to class, work or a friend's apartment. Nothing in Gainesville is more than a few miles away, and riding my bike to class is quicker than taking the bus and more enjoyable than sitting in my car. I agree with Andrew that our streets are overcrowded -not by bikes, but by cars that pollute and congest our southern college town. Fellow Gators, make a healthy, inexpensive and environmentally conscious decision to put down your car keys, flip up your kickstand and ride like the wind. Danny Schiff 4BA U U U Students ambivalent to SG controversy Editor: For the past week, I have picked up my copy of the Alligator and had to read about "neme-stealing" within Student Government. And each day I chuckle and proceed to show my friends an article showing a very humorous situation. I believe that SG takes themselves way too seriously. A lot of the members of SG are in it just to pad their resumes. I beg you to stop giving a forum for their whining. No one but themselves cares about this "name game." In no way does it effect how I'll vote, because I still won't. No matter which party is elected, life on campus will not change one bit. In fact, the only time I notice SG is when they pass out a million flyersbefore the election.

By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Small student organizations may continue to count on Accent, UF's speakers bureau, to help bring wellknown orators for the rest of the semester. An additional $30,000 was added to Accent's cosponsorship budget Tuesday by the Student Senate, allowing the bureau to meet an increasing number of requests to aid smaller campus groups. Three groups have come to Accent for help since the funds initially were approved last week, Chairman David Buchalter said. Accent still has about $100,000 in its budget for its own programs. The additional $30,000 will fund joint events that were not planned when the bureau's budget was approved, Accent Treasurer Evan Tyroler said. "We're not over-budgeting at all," he added. Student Sen. Jason Sherry said during the meeting that while he supported Accent, he recommended senators be more cautious about repeatedly funding organizations after they've exceeded their yearly budget. He reminded senators of additional funding needed two years ago by Student Government Productions. "Let's do it at. the right time and not throughout the year," Sherry said.

"The past four years, the environment has taken a backseat politically, and we need people like Dr. Ott to enlighten the public," graduate student Italo Lenta said. New Pell grant formula could save the government $300 million P ELL, from page 1 Education. Consequently, new money won't be put into the program. The extra money will instead be taken from government subsidies to private lenders who cater to students. With these loans, students don't pay interest until they finish school because the lenders receive money from the governent. When the student graduates or stops going to school, the interest is set, within limits, by the batk that loaned himn or her money. The decrease in government funds to those lenders, wouldn't decrease subsidized loan availability, just the profits of banks, White House officials told The New York Times. And since UF only disperses direct federal loans, in which the government loans money to students without the middle-man of a private lender, Fooks said she doubted the change will be significant enough to make a difference in loans locally. However, the "real solution" to increase the Pell grant is to increase the volume of direct loans, she said, since the government makes money through the program.

Groups seek new recruits at student organization fair M MORE THAN 180 CAMPUS CLUBS ARE PARTICIPATING. By KIMBERLY GOUZ Alligator Contributing Writer Chris Thompson walked through the Reitz Union Colonnade on Tuesday afternoon, grinning enthusiastically as he left the table where the Outdoor Adventure and Recreation Club was passing out fliers. Thompson, a first-year finance major, came to the Spring Student Organization Fair -to find out about business organizations on campus. "I was planning to join the Business Administration College Council," Thompson said. "I didn't expect to also sign up for a club that would take me whitewater rafting and mountain biking." The Outdoor Adventure and Recreation Club and Business Administration College Council are just two of 180 organizations involved in this semester's fair. The IDEAL-sponsored event will continue today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature everything from honors societies and service organizations to dance clubs and political activist groups. "There's a little bit of everything," said Emily Rouse, chairwoman of the fair. "I feel that any student who passes through the colonnade today will be able to find something that they can identify with." Many stood in line to become a part of the Writing on the Wall project, a UF tradition in which students paint blocks with words of oppression and later knock them down in a symbolic ceremony. The Amelie Poulain Society, a new organization, recruited members who would like to participate in random acts of kindness. "We want to do things that an ordinary student organization wouldn't do," club director Natalie Regalado said. "We meet for no reason other than to do nice things." Colleges Against On Cancer, an organizaCaMPUS tion honoring cancer survivors and those who have been affected by cancer, recruited teams and survivors to attend the annual Relay for Life fund-raiser. This is the first year the event will be held on campus. "Participating in Relay for Life is a fun way to join the fight against cancer," said Patricia Chun, a graduate student and president of Colleges Against Cancer. Organizations used a variety of tactics to attract students passing by their tables. Though many passed out fliers and pamphlets, some had other ways of generating publicity. One group, the Hip-Hop Collective, set up a boom-box and break-danced. Nick West/ Alligator Staff Chris Gross, left, Daniel Halsey and Greg Cieslewski promote the Gator Anime Club on Tuesday afternoon in their booth as part of the Student Organization Fair. The Catholic Student "We're here to reach out to tion and a second-year English Fellowship rang a cowbell and the student body, specifically the major. "We want to let them know shouted through a cardboard tube Catholic students," said Bobby who we are and that we are here to call attention to their cause. Angel, a member of the organizafor them."

ALLIGATOR WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19,,2005 At 6-foot-8, 235 pounds (he says he's one inch taller), freshman Al Horford doesn't play the sissy in the paint. With a knack for shot-blocking, Horford already logs plenty of minutes. At 66 percent, he's not a bad shooter, either. Maybe that's why his father, Tito, refuses to play his son one-on-one. Al welcomesyou into his world as he answers this week's question session with Louis Anastasis. Q: What-is the most memorable thing you re-, member about the Dominican Republic? A: I lived there for'14 years and I still go visit. The basketball there is a different style of play than here. The people are different. I guess they're nicer and-friendlier. I mean, people here are friendly, but I would say they're more friendly and open about stuff there. Q: Did people in the Dominican Republic ask you why you were playing basketball and not baseball? A: Why basketball, right? When I was growing up I knew Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa and those guys personally because they know my dad and they know my mom, who's a journalist, too. I was always encouraged to play baseball, and I did play baseball 'til I was about 9, but Ilike basketball better. Q: If I walk into your dad's house right now, what's the coolest piece of NBA memorabilia that I find displayed from his playing days? A: He had a pretty good game against the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs. I think he had a double-double --. maybe 24 and 15. He has a ball from.that game. He always remembers 'that game and talks about it.Q: So your Dad won't play you one-on-one? What's the deal with that? A: I honestly don't krow. He'd rather play horse all day than play me one-on-one. When I was younger, he used to win that all the time. My junior year, I started winning. But we're about even, I'd say. Q: What's the best thing he's taught you for your game? A: Probably just the jump hook. That was the thing that, when I got here, he forced me to do .And I've been to a couple of NBA camps in high school, and he went to those too. And he told me, 'Make sure you work on that and face the basket.' Stuff like that. Q: What's the key to your blocking ability? A: I think if you don't go fakes, maybe, andjust stay on the ground. Be smart. You just have to time it" Q: If you andDavid Lee both get running starts toward the basket, where does he touch on the backboard and where do youw touch? A: I don't know, but I know that I have a 38-inch running vertical. David would probably get higher, but I can probably get pretty high. Maybe it's because I have really long arms. That helps. Q: What player would you most fear facing in the post? A: Probably Kevin Garnett. Shaq's intimidating too, but I don't think I'd have to guard him. Q: You've obviously been doing all right at your height. But how good would you be if you were seven foot? A: I don't know. That'd have to be up to you. What do you think? Right now I'm about 6'9" and a half. I hope I can get as tall as 6'11". I've been growing constantly since high school. Two inches would definitely help. FOOTBALL Vleyer continues on recruiting trail in south Florida By ANDREW ABRAMSON UF no one ever doubted hi Alligator Staff Writer ity to recruit. aabramson@aigatororg His last two recrutin Urban Meyer strolled into the liami Dolphins training facility > a crowd of surprised onlookrs. With just two weeks to go un1 National Signing Day, Meyer as been out of the spotlight, ttempting to put together a re:uiting class in an area relatively >reign to the two-time national >ach of the year. But here was Meyer at the D-1 .11-Star Football Clinic, talking to 50.Iigh school football coaches, iany of whom could potentially way some of the most-talented ?cruits in the state to play for IF. "When I was first hired at lorida, everybody made a big eal saying, 'Coach, are you lanning on recruiting South lorida?"' Meyer said. 'I said, Nhat do you think? It's going to e 80 degrees down there. They ave the best high school players i the country. Of course I am."' Meyer may have picked the 'rong time of year to soak in the >uth Florida sun -Tuesday's temperature peaked at just 68 deMegan Winslow / Alligator Staff Just a month after introducing himself as UF's new football coach, Urban Meyer is busy recruiting in south Florida. Meyer's efforts are being challenged by the recent departure of recruiting coordinator Mike Locksley. grees -but with precious time to spare, Meyer is scrambling to make up for lost time on the recruiting trail. "We're behind," Meyer said. "We're still in on some great players, but we're behind. We've been playing catch-up since the change was made." For everything former head coach Ron Zook seemingly did wrong in his three-year tenure at s abilclasses were ranked among the best in the nation, and -he always promised this one would have been the best. Now, Meyer must build relationships with high schoolers already wooed by Zook. To make matters worse, former running backs coach and recruiting coordinator Mike Locksley left UF last week to coach with Zook at Illinois. "Anytime you lose a quality coach -he's a good recruiter and a good coach -it hurts us," Meyer said. Though Meyer is familiarizing himself with south Florida, he hasn't come unprepared. Doc Holliday, a former assistant coach from North Carolina State and West Virginia with recruiting roots in south Florida, has been brought on board by Meyer. 'What I wanted to do was hire the coach who recruited down here for a long time," Meyer said. "So Doc Holliday was the guy everybody knows for the last 25 years he's recruited down here. And it's already been the third time I've been down here." UF leads SEC in academic honors STAFF REPORT The Gators experienced a tumultuous football seaon, but also a conference-leading academic semester. UF led the Southeastern Conference with 48 student-athletes named to the 2004 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll in conference-sponsored sports. Of the 48, 26 were football players, which led the conference as well. The Gators also led the SEC with 15 soccer players on the Honor Roll Bak and tied Alabama, Georgia and 4issjssippi with seven volleyball recipients. Football recipients included Chris Leak, Mike Degory nd Vernell Brown. Soccer honorees included Melanie Booth, Ashley Keligren and Stephanie Freeman. The 2004 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2004 Spring, Summer and Fall terms. A student-athlete needs a 3.0 grade point average for the academic year or a 3.0 cumulative average to be named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll. TRACK STAR HONORED: Two days after shattering her own collegiate record in the weight throw at the Florida Intercollegiate meet, UF All-American Candice Scott -was named the United States Track Coaches Association Athlete of the Week. Scott's toss of 23.52 meters shattered her previous mark of 23.15 meters, which she set at the Clemson Opener on Dec. 3. It was the fourth time in her UF career that Scott has eclipsed the.NCAA's best mark:inthe weight throw. BULLPEN, from page 20 ships. When the coaches begin targeting next year's prospects iri May, they'll be able to sell what they haven't sold since 2001 -brand-name wins. Also, Meyer's salesmen will attack South Florida doorsteps. UF assistant Doc Holliday already knows the area, since he recruited it while at N.C. State and West Virginia. The sun in Gator Nation could come out soon. Top receiver prospects DeSean Jackson, Patrick Turner and David Nelson, along with stud linebacker recruit Brian Cushing, are considering Gainesville. So don't panic, and don't be too quick to criticize. If nothing else, the Gators will still have a better recruiting class than Duke.

WEDNESbAY JANU'R 19,2005 NALLV3A0I, 19 MEN'S BASKETBALL Walsh's return could-a occur soon By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Junior forward Matt Walsh, who has been out with a severe high ankle sprain since Dec. 30, could return to action sooner than expected, Coach Billy Donovan said. "I would say that Matt's healing process and Matt's rehabilitation of his ankle is going very well," Donovan said. "I probably don't feel like it's going to be the 4-6 weeks we talked about. It's probably going to be a little bit sooner." Donovan, however, could not specify a possible date of return, as Walsh has been unable to practice with the team. "Until he gets to a point where he can show me in practice, running up and While Matt Walsh is recovering ahead of schedule from an ankle sprain, center Adrian Moss could be out for the season because of back problems. If Moss needs surgery, he likely will miss the remainder of the season. down with contact," Donovan stated, "then we can give him an opportunity to play." Many teammates believe his return could come as soon as this week. ."I think Matt is getting better day-by-day," junior guard Anthony Roberson said after the Gators' win over Vanderbilt. "Even though he didn't come with us, I know he watched this game, and I know he's at home going crazy. But Think he'll be back with us Wednesday or next Saturday." Donovan, however, cautioned that players tend to underestimate the healing process. "I think anytime our players see a guy out there running around, they think, 'OK, he's pretty close to being able to play,"' Donovan said. According to Donovan, Walsh can now shoot and run straight ahead without pain and could possibly handle lateral movement. "Now, the big part is: Can he handle contact?" Donovan asked. Walsh didn't fly with the team to Nashville because of an ear infection. OUT AGAIN: Junior forward Adrian Moss had an MRI Monday to help determine whether he Will need surgery to correct bulging discs in his back, Donovan said. The, disc is hitting a nerve in Moss' back, causing pain to pulse down to his leg, Donovan said. Donovan said Moss will miss the Tennessee game and could be out for the remainder of the season. "If he has surgery, it's going to be hard for him to come back and play," Donovan said. Moss, who missed two games earlier in the season and has been limited in practices due to the injury, remained in street clothes for the Vanderbilt game. FAMILIAR FOES: After returning to his home state for Saturday's game, sophomore guard Lee Humphrey again will face a familiar opponent when Tennessee visits the O'Connell Center tonight at 7. -Humphrey, who grew up 20 miles from Knoxville in Maryville, 'Tenn., said that he doesn't place any more emphasis on this game. "It's just another conference game that we need to win really bad," said Humphrey, who is starting in Walsh's place. "It is always fun to beat the school you came from, but it isn't any bigger than any other SEC game." Humnphrey said his parents and sister will come to watch hin play the Volunteers. Potential UF IIIa signees tour,. meet staff By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Writer eesteban@ailigator.org The Gators played host to recruits for the second straight weekend, but instead of seven high school seniors getting a taste of oi-ange and blue, only three recruits made the trip to UF this time. Offensive lineman Simon Codrington, ranked No. 48 in the nation by.Scout.com, put a positive spin on the small number. "The fact that I was there with only two other guys was a major plus for me," Codrington said. "I went to Tallahassee last week and the large number of guys didn't give me that much access." Codrington, a 6-foot-7, 255-pound tackle from South Miami Senior High School, was hosted by former teammate and current Gators linebacker Javier Estopinan. "It was a lot of fun getting a chance to talk to Javier about the school," Codrington said. "He showed me what it was like being a student there." However, Codrington's most lasting impression came not from the city, but rather from the new head coach. Codrington got a chance to meet Meyer and new offensive line coach John Heves, and said he was blown away by the experience. "There hasn't been one place I've been to in which I got to talk to the head coach so much," Codrington said. "I loved getting a chance to talk to him about everything." Besides UF, Codrington's choices include Florida State, North Carolina State and West Virginia, which he will visit this week. Doug Wortltington, an Ohio State oral commitment, also made the trip to Gainesville, but his heart remained in Buckeye country.

Sp orts WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/sports Gators undefeated in SEC play Lee, Roberson By BRYAN APP -Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Talk about a U-turn. Prior to the Southeastern Conference season opener against Arkansas on Jan. 8, the Gators went 8-3 during a non-conference schedule that ranked 172:nd out of 326 Division I teams. They lost to Miami and Florida State in the same season for the first time since 1964, lost to NCAA Tournament-worthy No. 14 Louisville at home and lost thenleading scorer Matt Walsh with a high ankle sprain. Forgotten by the AP pollsters, the Gators have won three consecutive conference games, including back-to-back road games, garnering votes for the first time since the FSU loss. Tonight at 7, UF has the opportunity to continue that momentum against Tennessee at the O'Connell Center, as the Gators (11-3, 3-0 SEC) begin a three-game homestand. Some UF players are confident that the month-ending home slate, ending with South Carolina on Jan. 29, will provide the Gators with a strategic advantage before facing a rigorous February schedule that includes No. 19 Mississippi State, No. 22 Alabama and No. 8 Kentucky. "If anything, I think it's the leading team University of Florida's time eightt now," senior forward David Lee said. "We've got a very promising month of January to start this SEC season if we take care of business." And the Gators could very well capitalize if Lee and SEC Player of the Week Anthony Roberson can continue to take care of business. Lee is coming off a career-high 17-rebound game against Vanderbilt and has 25 rebounds and 21.points in his last three halves. "If anything, I think it's the University of Florida's time right now. We've got a very promising month of January to start this SEC season if we take care of business." David Lee UF forward With Lee and freshman Al Horford, who totaled 21 rebounds against Auburn and Vanderbilt last week, handling the boards and drawing double teams, Roberson has had free reign on the offensive end. "It's -been easy with Al and David down there drawing double teams," Roberson said. "And Al is rebounding, kicking it out fast, getting out on the break for us. You can tell we have a fun time playing together." After scoring 34 against Auburn, Roberson finished with 30 against the Commodores, becoming the first Gator to score 30 in consecutive road games since Andy Owens in 1970. Roberson, who's shooting 60 percent from three-point range in his last two games, said he probably wasn't shooting as much as he should have earlier in the season and that he realizes the type of player he must be in order to helphis team. "I think I've had the mindset where I've got to go into the game and make plays and be the type of player that can create for my teammates," Roberson said. "That's what I've been trying to do, is be a playmaker out there, and it has been working in my favor." But despite UF's recent turnaround, Coach Billy Donovan insists it doesn't mean that much in the long run. He's just trying to get his team focused on a Tennessee team that defeated Mississippi State on Jan. 12 and dispatched the Gators last season in Knoxville, Tenn. "We have a long way to go," Donovan -said. "We aren't even a quarter of the way through the [SEC] season. I'd rather be 3-0 than 0-3, though. But anything that has happened over the last two weeks doesn't make a difference anymore.' Nick West/ Alligator Staff Guard Anthony Roberson and the Gators look to extend their winning streak to four games against Tennessee tonight. Meyer faces same problems as vaunted Spurrier, troubled Zooker teve Spurrier loves the Cock. Ron Zookcan't talk. Urban Meyer walks the walk. Yeah, these three guys each fall into their own demographic, but are they really that different? Not in 2005. Most of the race has yet to be run, but as the three thoroughbreds gallop down the final recruiting stretch, they're pretty much even. And it's no solace to either of them that they're staring at the rumps of other colleges ahead of them. According to Scout.com, Meyer's recruiting class ranks 22nd in the nation. Spurrier's class is tied with Duke (yes, Duke) at No. 32. And Zook, the master of all recruiting masters, is choking on Derby dirt -UF's ex-7ych is tied with Kentucky for the 49thbest recruiting class. Doesn't seem right, does it? The easygoing Floridian who would rather play golf than talk with high school coaches is drawing in better bodies than the recruiting prodigy himself. And the coach who replaced both of them boasts the best recruiting class of the three. In Gainesville, 22nd place just won't work, will it? This is, after all, the same town that ostracized Vernon Maxwell'and Jason Williams for dubbing drugs. Wait, drugs. maybe that has something to do with it. But illegal fumes didn't have anything to do with Zook's departure. I And the same people that made fireronzook.com their home page want Chris Leak to burn at the stake for having a bad New Year's Eve, right? Gator Nation, chill! Don't go cuckoo for reefer puffs if recruiting doesn't go your way this season. Louis UF's grip on the Anastasis 2005 class slipped Louis in the Bullpen long ago. lanastasis@aligator.org On Oct. 25 (the Ides of Zook, to be exact), UF would lose Derrick Williams, the nation's best receiver. UF also would squander Justin King, arguably the country's best cornerback. That's not to mention others like top-notch St. Thomas Aquinas kicker Joe Surgan who, of course, has chosen Duke over UP. Still, choose a masseuse instead of a Prozac -a new coach always needs one year before he can establish his recruiting footing. Zook's first freshman class reeled in Ciatrick Fason, Dallas Baker and Mike Degory -the three were largely recruited by Spurrier to begin with -but no one else. One season later, Zook vacuumed in the likes of Leak, Andre Caldwell and Chad Jackson. Meyer is more disadvantaged this time around. Many of Zook's 2005 commits shunned the Gators because they believed Zook would never leave. Then, recruiting coordinator Mike Locksley bolted for Illinois, pushing even more prospects away. But that's the exact reason why Meyer's staff will flourish in the recruiting nursery come 2006.
