TALLAHASSEE


State budget may give UF less funding


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org

TALLAHASSEE In a budget
recommendation where Gov. Jeb Bush
proposes to slash higher education fund-
ing by nearly 8 percent in fiscal year
20Q5-20,06,-UF stands to lose millions of
dollars in state grant money.
"We feel that once we get an
opportunity to explain in detail
how these programs positively
affect the lives of Floridians,
we'll be able to make a good
case for full funding."
Tom Fortner
UF Health Science Center spokesman

Bush would discontinue $1.7 million
in grants to UF's Health Science Center
for cancer research and cut total grants
for UF by about $3.6 million a de-
crease of more than 4 percent.
Moreover, Bush's budget indicates
he would veto a $2 million grant for
UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences to map the citrus genome.
In a statement, UF Health Science


Center spokesman Tom Fortner noted
that it is still very early in the budget
process.
"We feel that once we get an op-
portunity to explain in detail how these
programs positively affect the lives of
Floridians, we'll be able to make a good
case for full funding," he stated in an e-
mail.
Calls to the governor's press office
Wednesday were not returned.
SBush's budget, which is merely a rec-
ommendation to the legislature, whose
session convenes March 8, would also
raise in-state tuition 7.5 percent.
The cuts in state grants to UF come
in amid diminishing funding for state
universities in general. In a line-item
display of the budget, which is available
online at http://ebudget.state.fl.us, the
governor proposed to slash university
funding from $2.22 billion to $2.04 bil-
lion, a decline of $172.7 million.
S But the governor's total budget is
$61.5 billion an increase of nearly $3
billion over last year. The declining high-
er-education budget makes up about 3
percent of that total.
UF wasn't the only school to see a
funding drop in the proposed budget:
Bush's plan does not include funds for

High degrees bring clout


* BUT COLLEGE GRADUATE SALA-
RIES ARE NOT RISING AS FAST AS
DURING THE 1980s AND 1990s.

By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org

When Ryan Rhyce graduated frofn UF in
Spring 2004, he took his bachelor's degree in
psychology and went straight to law school
without even looking for a job. He expects a
law degree to bring not just flexibility but a
higher salary as well.
"It's a stepping stone for so many different
things," Rhyce said. "Psychology was more a
means to an end."
Rhyce's plan has become more common as


the increase of salaries for educated workers
began to slow in 2000 after rising throughout
the 1980s and 1990s, according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, the per-
centage of college-educated
Americans has increased
steadily since the 1950s and
will continue to rise.
As the number of college
graduates grows, students
are finding themselves look-
ing for ways to stand out
Matheny from the crowd.
"It's all about social sta-
tus, and status is always a relative concept,"
said Albert Matheny, director of Academic
Advising. "If everyone has a bachelor's degree,

citing a failure by the applicants

With seven out of 10 applications

are in a partying mood this election

1993 and 1995. Both years featured

"There is no damage to the
building itself, but there was fire
damage to the overhang," Traub
said.
The report stated firefighters

The dealership's main building

Though the investigation

STUDENT LIFE

Machen seeks solutions to student alcohol abuse


By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org

The recent alcohol-related deaths of at least four students
led UF President Bernie Machen to host a meeting Wednesday
to develop a plan to combat alcohol abuse among the student
body.
"I had not been used to the amount of drinking, underage
drinking and binge drinking I've seen on this campus," said
Machen, who came to UF after serving as president of the
University of Utah.
Susan Crowley, executive vice president of the Alachua
County Medical Society, cautioned about changing trends in
drinking habits.
"Kids are binge drinking; they're drinking to get drunk
before they even go out," Crowley said. "This is not your
parents' drinking problem."
Suggestions from attendees, including Alachua County
Sheriff Steve Oelrich, focused on changing alcohol-related
attitudes and Gainesville's party culture.
"We're going to have a problem until we get to a point


when the kids say, 'This is not a cool thing to do,"' Oelrich
said.
Alachua County Commission Chairwoman Cynthia
Chestnut suggested sending college students to area middle
and high schools to recount their problems with alcohol and
drug abuse.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan.advocated shutting down any
establishment found to serve alcohol to underaged patrons
and educating students on the adverse effects alcohol can
have on their academics and careers.
Student Sen. Mike Belle suggested late-night alternatives,
such as the coffeehouses and jazz clubs of larger cities.
An official joint meeting of the city of Gainesville and UF
will take place Feb. 16, featuring a guest speaker who will ad-
dress further methods of curbing substance abuse.
The prevalence of drinking among underage UF students
in Fall 2004 was 72.8 percent, according to self-reported data
provided by GatorWell Health Promotion Services. More than
half of those surveyed admitted to binge drinking. More than
one in three claimed to have driven under the influence.
Oelrich said he believes the numbers to be much higher.
"I'm very passionate about this issue," Oelrich said. "I my-


self lost my 18-year-old son in a similar incident, and it cuts
me to the bone."

"Kids are binge drinking; they're drinking to get
drunk before they even go out. This is not your
parents' drinking problem."
Susan Crowley
Executive vice president of the Alachua County Medical
Society


Machen also called for the reimplementation of the
Gainesville Alcohol Abuse Prevention Corrimittee, which was
formed in 1999 following two student deaths and changed UF
party culture by implementing the rave ordinance and no-re-
entry policy at football games.
The Reitz Union's Gator Nights program still offers stu-
dents alcohol-free options, and the Later Gator buses keep
revelers from driving home. UF also offers counseling for
students through the Student Health Care Center and the
University Counseling Center.


Local group protests circus, alleging animal cruelty


By LAUREN MACDONALD
Alligator Contributing Writer


Casey Anderson / Alligator Staff
Jennifer Lopez and Ana Del Alamo protest animal captivity in front of the Circus Pages Wednesday af-
ternoon. Lopez and Del Alamo are active members of Animal Activists of Alachua.


About nine members of the
Animal Activists of Alachua
waved signs about animal cru-
elty at the entrance to the Alachua
County Fairgrounds, where Circus
Pages performed'Wednesday eve-
ning.
Circus animals spend their lives
chained in cages and beaten as
part of their training, said Carolyn
Mullin, the group's president.
"We don't feel any animal
should be used as a means for hu-
man entertainment," Mullin said..
Elephants are trained with
bullhooks, which are long poles
with two sharp hooks on the end,
she said. Elephants have sensitive
skin, so circuses use powder to
cover up the inevitable scars.
Mullin said Circus Pages has
repeatedly violated federal animal
welfare regulations in the past. The
circus was cited in 2002 for failing
to test four elephant handlers for
tuberculosis, which can spread be-
tween elephants and humans.
At that point, Mullin said, the
issue concerns human safety as
well as prevention of animal cru-
elty.
Animal Activists of Alachua
has protested Circus Pages on pre-


vious visits to Gainesville, said the
group's promotions officer, Ana
Del Alamo.
"It doesn't seem like anything is
really changing," she said.
Mullin said the group hopes
Circus Pages and other animal cir-
cuses will retire their animals into
special animal sanctuaries.
"This show takes real good care
of their animals," said John Fuller,
a blue-haired Circus Pages clown.
Randall Emery, who has helped
care for Circus Pages animals for
about three weeks,
Student said the animals
Activism are fed and washed
regularly. The
animals at Circus Pages were bet-
ter treated than at other circuses
where Emery has worked, he said.
In particular, he said the Circus
Pages elephant trainer doesn't beat
the elephants with bullhooks.
"He has 'em," Emery said, "but
he doesn't use 'em."
The circus was found to be in
compliance with federal regula-
tions about three weeks ago,
Emery said.
Mullin said that even if Circus
Pages meets federal standards for
animal welfare, her group would
continue to protest because circus
animals generally are kept in inhu-
mane conditions.


Sheriff combats traffic fatalities with speed-limit campaign


* SHERIFF STEVE OELRICH CITED
MORE CARS AND FEWER ROADS AS
CAUSES OF THE FATALITIES.

By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org

Following a sharp increase in traffic fatal-
ities last year, the Alachua County Sheriff's
Office has implemented a campaign to
combat aggressive driving that will focus on
stronger enforcement of speed limits.
'Sheriff Steve Oelrich proposed the plan
after his office reported 52 traffic fatalities
in 2004, practically doubling the previous
year's total of 29.
- Oelrich said he looked at a 25-year traffic


history and found 45,000 more cars regis-
tered in the county, an increase in student
vehicles and approximately 170,000 licensed
drivers.
"We have almost two times as many
drivers," Oelrich said. "The roads are more
crowded."
Making this increase more dangerous is
the fact that there are not enough new roads
to compensate for the increase of traffic flow,
Oelrich said.
"It's less safe to be out on the highways
than it was 25 years ago," he said.
The campaign consists of new radar
equipment for officers, greater numbers of
both marked and unmarked patrol vehicles,
five new BMW motorcycles and a dedicated
traffic bureau within the ASO, Oelrich said.


Created about 2 1/2 years ago, the bu-
reau consists of one commander, one lieu-
tenant, two sergeants and about 15 deputies.
The officers primarily patrol at high-traffic
times such as weekends
and rush hour.
The campaign is go-
ing as planned neither
Oelrich nor ASO Public
Information Officer Lt.
Jim Troiano have any com-
plaints.
"The sheriff is taking
a very strong position," Troiano said. "We
want to go out and crack down on these ag-
gressive drivers."
So far this year, the agency has reported
no traffic fatalities.


Additionally, both mentioned the nearby
town of Waldo as a model of safe driving,
crediting local law enforcement efforts.
The town of 821 was designated as a
"traffic trap" by the American Automobile
Association in 2003. Waldo, which is
within Alachua County, is known for
heavy ticketing along a stretch of U.S. 301
where the speed limit drops from 55 mph
to 35 mph.
"People abide by the speed limit there,"
Oelrich said. "And they have a very low ac-
cident rate."
Alachua County issued over 70,000 traf-
fic tickets last year. Troiano said he hopes
the campaign will spread awareness of the
dangers of excessive speeding and encour-
age drivers to abide by posted regulations.

Administration, students discuss campus issues

Administration, students discuss campus issues


By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer

Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice presi-
dent for student affairs, provided
the opportunity for heads of six stu-
dent organizations and the Student
Senate to sing praises and air griev-
ances in her office Wednesday.
"This office is here for students,"
Telles-Irvin said. "One of the things
I'm struck by is how few students
know that it's here."
Student Senate President Bryson
Ridgway organized the meeting,


which included presidents of the
Asian Student Union, Hispanic
Student Association, Pride Student
Union, Graduate Student Council,
Interfraternity Council and
Panhellenic Council.
Representatives first lauded
opportunities at.UF such as study
abroad and internships.
Telles-Irvin later opened up the
floor to criticisms and suggestions
for improvement. Criticisms ranged
from under-representation and
diversity issues to UF's role in the
community and its image at large.


Asian Student Union President
Mark Villegas said international
credits should make up a larger
part of students' general education
requirements.
"There's no Latino studies [mi-
nor], which totally blows my mind,"
Villegas said. "We're in Florida."
Students suggested involvement
with the Gainesville community.
"We're basically the heart of
Gainesville," said Mike Bowen of
the Graduate Student Council, "and
we should use the great resources
that we have to give to that. com-


munity."
When Telles-Irvin asked how UF
could reach its goal of becoming a
Top 10 school, Allison Andrews of
the Pride Student
i Union said she
was worried UF
might be push-
ing research too
much, which
would take away
from teaching
Telles-Irvin quality. She said
some teachers
have done excellent research but


can't connect with students.
There was a consensus at the
meeting that freshmen are given
a mixed message. They are told to
hurry up and graduate and at the
same time to branch out and get
involved. IFC President John Dicks
suggested a mentor program for
undergraduates as a solution.
It would also help build a bridge
to the students, Bowen said.
Dicks suggested Telles-Irvin
make herself available once a month
in a chat room and continue to hold
monthly meetings with students.


FAB auction contributes to Spring Break charity trips


* THE AUCTION ITEMS WERE DONAT-
ED BY GAINESVILLE BUSINESSES.

By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Florida Alternative Breaks raised between
$500 and $1,000 in their third annual silent
-auction Wednesday.
The auction, held in a Reitz Union meeting
room from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., raised money for
funding the organization's Spring Break trips.
As Spring Break approaches and UF stu-
dents plan trips to exotic locations around the


world, members of Florida Alternative Breaks
plan to spend their Spring Break contributing
to needy causes across the United States.
"Each trip has a different issue that is prev-
alent here in Gainesville," said Sara Hanson,
the organization's fund-raiser and a third-year
sociology student. "The idea behind FAB is to
expose the students to the issue in a different
environment so they come back to Gainesville
and volunteer here."
Items available at the auction ranged from
a hotel stay at a Holiday Inn to a baseball hat
autographed by the Jacksonville Jaguars' Joe
Zelenka. The items were donated by 19.busi-


nesses around Gainesville.
The group's upcoming community ser-
vice projects will take place throughout the
Southeast United States. This year, the orga-
nization also is expanding internationally, and
the members will travel to Costa
On Rica. The group has been provid-
Catpus ing the opportunity for students
to go on community service trips
for about 12 years.
Florida Alternative Breaks uses the silent
auction and other fundraisers to ease the cost
of trips to the service project sites. A weeklong
trip can cost as little as $250 if fundraising is


successful.
"I've been here for three years, and my first
year I went to New Orleans on an equal-edu-
cation trip," said Dave Pirman, a fourth-year
chemistry major. "We saw a completely differ-
ent side of youth, completely impoverished.
You saw how hard it was for them to get out.
Their entire lives are there."
The trips provide a variety of challenges
for students who are willing to get involved
in helping the community. The organiza-
tion is still in the process of filling all the
spots for their 11 trips. Each trip will have
14 participants.

one of UF's newest fraterni-
ties Wednesday night.
Christian fraternity Kappa
Upsilon Chi became active
at UF in the Fall and will in-
duct its first pledge class this
Spring.
Internal- Vice President
Eric Waters, 22, explained the
principles of the fraternity to
a group of about 15 interested
students.
"Our goal is to be a posi-


tive influence on the campus.
We're about being there for
each other," Waters said.
Members spoke about
socials, formals, service proj-
ects, prayer nights and other
activities the fraternity will
take part in.
"Our fraternity is based
on Christ but with the things
any other fraternity does,"
President Paul Kayiales said.
Many of the six found-
ing members said they went
through the Interfraternity
Council recruitment process
in past semesters and it
wasn't for them, prompting,-


them to start a UF chapter of
Kappa Upsilon Chi.
Sean Cunningham, a
legacy from the fraternity's
founding chapter at Texas
Tech University and a teach-
ing assistant at UF, encour-
aged the hopefuls to think
seriously about deciding to
pledge:
"Pledgeship is a time of
sacrifice, but any-
Greek thing worth having
Life is worth fighting
for and worth earn-
ing," he said.
SKappa Upsilon Chi will
begin its formal rush at 6
p.m. Thursday night in the
Reitz Union.

Speaker invokes King in


Reitz Union presentation

Gainesville Regional Utility customers need
not worry about added surcharges to their en-
ergy bills despite recent-plans by Florida Power
& Light Co. to pass on hurricane-related fees to
its customers.
GRU Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Hunt
said each year publicly owned GRU budgets for
unforeseen costs provide for consistent rates and
serve as a contingency fund for emergencies.
"Fortunately, we're well-positioned to absorb
any additional costs such as those that resulted
from the hurricanes this year," Hunt said.
On Tuesday, FPL gained the approval of the
Public Service Commission to pass $354 million
of its storm-related expenses onto the company's
more than four million customers in the form of a
$2.09 fee to be tacked onto their monthly electric
bills. The increase, which will take effect in mid-
February, is expected to last two years.
However, GRU had prepared for such sce-
narios.


Although GRU spent an estimated $5.5 mil-
lion to $6 million to compensate for local destruc-
tion caused by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne,
customers will not be responsible for surcharges
similar to those imposed by privately owned
FPL.
"Fortunately, we're well-positioned to
absorb any additional costs such as
those that resulted from the hurri-
canes this year."
Jennifer Hunt
GRU Chief Financial Officer

Instead, between 85 percent and 90 percent
of that sum will be reimbursed by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Hunt said.
FPL must still justify its rate increase at hear-
ings in March and April.
If it is not approved, the company will be
expected to reimburse its customers for the extra
charge.


* THE EVENT TRIED TO IMPART
THE GRAVITY OF KING'S SPEECH.

BylNDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org

Drawing them in. with the power
of an activist's immortal words, Joe
Rogers transported a gathering of
UF students to the Civil Rights Era
Wednesday night.
Rogers, a former lieutenant gov-
ernor of Colorado and one of only
four blacks to have held that post na-
tionally, brought his "Dream Alive"
program to 25 students in the Reitz
Union Rion Ballroom.
The program aims to bring the
ideals of Martin Luther King Jr. to
today's generations through the de-
livery of two of King's best-known
speeches.
"I think that the principles that
Dr. King stood for and the things he
fought for still resonate today," said
Beth Waltrip, associate director of
student activities and coordinator of
the event.
Rogers encouraged. the .audience


to imagine itself back in 1963, in
sweltering heat and amid the thour
sands marching on Washington, D.C.,
the site of King's "I Have a Dream"
speech.
Then Rogers' gentle voice trans-
formed, fluidly taking on King's rec-
ognizable cadence and rhythm as he
spoke to the entranced audience.
Rogers said the speech has been
called one of the five
On greatest in the history of
Campus mankind.
"Somehow he cap-
tured the essence of what it means to
be an American," he said.
He also spoke of the church bomb-
ings in Montgomery, Ala., before
moving on to the "I've Been to the
Mountain Top" speech King deliv-
ered in Memphis the night before his
assassination.
UF student Tamika Hunter at-
tended the event to honor King,
whom she called one of her "all-time
favorite leaders."
She called Rogers a "dynamic
speaker."
"He allowed us to relive&hem (the
speeches) by engaging us," she said.


Bill proposes blood donor privacy


Product of cooperation

within Florida Legislature
By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org

Two Florida officials announced a pro-
posed bill aimed at strengthening privacy
protection for blood donors in Gainesville.
Florida Rep. Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, un-
veiled his latest bill, co-sponsored by. state
Sen. Rod Smith, D-Gainesville, at an outdoor
press conference Wednesday morning at
the LifeSouth Community Blood Center on
Newberry Road. '
"This is an important piece of legislation,"
Cretul said of the Blood Donor Protection
Act.
"It protects our state's blood supply by en-
suring privacy for those who give so altruisti-
cally to save the lives of strangers."
Cretui is a "galloneer" blood donor who
last Fall received two pints of blood in-a
transfusion for an ulcer.
"Who can better communicate the message
than someone who has been there on both


ends?" he asked.
The bill would implement changes at
blood centers across Florida, including
LifeSouth, which distributes about 200,000
units of blood annually to healthcare facilities
in Florida, Georgia and Alabama.
Cretul said he hopes to push the bill
through the Florida House in the next two
S ^n_- months, and if passed the
bill would take effect on
July 1.
Dale Malloy, president
and CEO of the Florida
Georgia Blood Alliance and
a former president of the
Smith American Association of
Smith
Blood Banks, said donor
anonymity is essential to keep the flow of do-
nations strong and protect the blood supply
from diseases.
"It's important for the bill to reinforce to
the public the necessity of giving that quiet
donation," Malloy said.
Privacy is what keeps the volunteers hon-
est about any diseases that might infect the
blood supply and thus keeps the blood safe
for recipients, Malloy said.

Back ache

FSU chiropractic school

deserves lack of support
This time, we don't have to joke on FSU. They're doing
a pretty good job of it themselves.
In case you haven't heard through the incredulous-
student grapevine, FSU soon may add a chiropractic school to
its "esteemed" campus.
But this is no laughing matter. The chiropractic-school
proposal could have dire consequences for not only FSU's
integrity, but the integrity of the state university system as a
whole.
The program would be the only one of its kind in the coun-
try, and not without reason.
The scientific community, as a whole, vehemently op-
poses the inclusion of chiropractics as a legitimate healing art.
Studies of chiropractics' possible health benefits have been
inconclusive, and proponents' arguments have not been ac-
cepted by prominent medical associations. Further, medical
professionals are leery of questionable "spiritual" elements
sometimes associated with the practice.
For instance, the Capital Medical Society, an association of
more than 500 Tallahassee-area doctors, unanimously voted
Jan. 4 to oppose the school.
FSU's faculty has spoken as well. At least seven medical
school professors have threatened to resign if the program is
approved, and 30 faculty members collectively took out a full-
page ad in the Tallahassee Democrat in protest.
There is no support for the proposal even' within FSU's
Board of Trustees. While it did vote 11-2 to pass the issue to the
state Board of Governors, several trustees openly opposed the
plan and none publicly favored it.
To be fair, however, FSU actually did not ask for a chiro-
practic school. Unsurprisingly, the driving force behind the
proposal is Florida Senate Majority Leader Dennis Jones, who
himself is a chiropractor.
But this is not a matter of concern only for FSU. If it was,
we simply would stand by and laugh as the university's repu-
tation went down like the Seminoles against the Gators this
season.
This is a matter of concern for Florida's public university
system, which already faces enough challenges.
At the very least, the $9 million annually the Legislature
appropriated for the-chiropractic program not to mention
the cost of a new building to house it could be spent on ad-
dressing issues such as overcrowding, low teacher salaries and
increasing tuition.
And the state's image certainly doesn't need another mark
against it, considering the popular perception of Florida as a
loony bin since the spectacle of the 2000 presidential election
recounts.
But some good has come out of the proposal, if only be-
cause of the controversy it has generated. The discussions in-
volved have thrust into sharp relief the fact that no clear line of
authority exits over the state's public universities, as the state
Legislature, the schools' boards of trustees and the state Board
of Governors still fight for control.
In this case, the Board of Governors needs to take charge
and kill this proposal before any more word of it can get out.
So when you feel like laughing at the things the garnet and
gold do to themselves, instead take the time to tell them you
don't appreciate their bringing the whole state down with
them.
And then you can laugh.

Guest column

Bush mandate means new scandals


Once upon a time, George W. Bush was looked
upon as an accidental president. His election
seemed like an aberration and a freak event that
would stand out in history books forever. But on Nov. 2,
not only did the President win re-election, but he won
by a margin of more than 3.5 million votes. Suddenly, it
seemed'the dream had become a nightmare. Who would
have predicted Dubya would dominate the first decade of
the 21st century? His victory isn't only a major coup for
-the Bushes, it's a realignment of the geopolitical landscape
of America one that has granted him a political man-
date to drain the lifeblood from democracy, push ahead
with the right's ideological program and rule in a way in
which no sin can be too bold. So, what can we expect from
the next four years? Here's a guide to the next phase of his
revolutionary second term:
1. Picture a fantasy of total control.
Dubya is no footnote in history he single-handedly
heralded a conservative takeover of all three branches of
government. With a fully Republican Congress at his dis-
posal, he intends to rule on the three-issues that won him
the election: God, guns and gays. In the judicial branch,
the president choreographed the rise of Alberto Gonzalez,
who repeatedly supported the president's right to impris-
on and torture anyone involved in national security.
2. What second term jinx?
Despite the actions of Halliburton, despite the may-
hem and disaster in Iraq, despite the absence of weap-
ons of mass destruction, despite the Abu Ghraib and
Guantanamo Bay tortures and despite Tom Delay's dirty
politics and lying about his military record, Bush still got
elected. Whatever scandals pop up in his second term will
be small potatoes compared to his first.
3. Tax reform and Social Security.


Erik Maza The gist of Bush's tax reform
Speaking Out plan is to shift the tax burden to the
working class by removing taxes
on investment income, something
that, along with privatization, has Wall Street salivating.
We need these things like we need a Tara Reid comeback,
mainly because there isn't a crisis with Social Security and
tax cuts already benefit the elite to the detriment of every-
one else. To preserve the solvency of Social Security, Bush
needs to make a few changes to benefits and taxation, not
revamp a program more than 47 million retirees depend
on for a living.
4. The War on Terror.
Under Bush, America only can lose its already dwin-
dling reputation abroad and, as he continues to press his
military agenda, we can only hope Iraq doesn't become
our generation's Vietnam. Since the President blurred
the line between Iraq and the War on Terror, let me put
it in perspective: at a recent press conference, Tommy
Thompson, former secretary of health and human ser-
vices, wondered out loud why "terrorists hadn't' attacked
our food supply, because it is so easy to do."
5. What to do.
Before you seek asylum abroad, why not try to piss
off a few evangelicals and really rub it in to the idiots in
charge. Did you quit drinking? Start again! -It's going to
be a long four years, and getting loaded will be the easiest
way to take your mind off of politics. Don't forget to have
extremely deviant sex what better way is there to an-
noy the family-values parade than to show solidarity with
your kinky brethren? Finally, go hiking and enjoy what's
left of America's wildlife, because in a few years we might
not have what most people would call "an environment."

Letters to the ZE C or
Speaker's reasoning may have merit
Editor: Wednesday's editorial ignored
the fact that there are basic differences
between men and women. Comparing
claims of gender differences to claims of
racial differences is absolutely ridiculous.
Many studies have shown the male brain
is more oriented to mathematic reasoning
and the female brain is more oriented to
verbal reasoning. There is nothing in-
sulting about this, and it does not mean
women cannot be good at math or men
cannot be good at English. There are fewer
women at the top of the science and math-
ematics academic fields, and there must be
some reason for this.
I'm sure the writer of the editorial be-
lieves this is only because men always get
the best opportunities, but that simply is
not the case. The president of Harvard was
merely offering theories to explain this.
The editorial was far more ignorant than
the author claimed the speech to be.

Existing buses could be eco-friendly
Editor: Gainesville needs to make its
buses more environmentally sound.
However, this does not require buy-
ing new buses to make them more eco-
friendly; all it takes is using biodiesel fuel
in place of regular diesel fuel. Biodiesel
is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic
and essentially free of sulfur and aromat-
ics. It is less toxic than table salt and biode-
grades as quickly as sugar. Since it is made
in America from renewable resources, its


use decreases our dependence on foreign
oil and contributes to our own economy.
Many students don't realize riding the
bus can be harmful to their health. Diesel-
fuel exhaust not only smells bad but also
contains carcinogens and greenhouse
gases. Just standing at a bus stop for 10
minutes can equal the exposure of smok-
ing dozens of cigarettes. Lung cancer and
asthma are just a few of the conditions that
diesel-fuel exhaust can contribute to.
Converting to biodiesel is easy.
Biodiesel can be combined at any level
with petroleum diesel to create a biodie-
sel blend. Only the highest blends require
small-engine modifications. Biodiesel
also provides improved lubricity over
petroleum diesel, helping engines run
smoother with comparable performance.
Numerous communities have switched to
using biodiesel for school buses and other
vehicles. Universities such as Harvard
University and Purdue University are
using biodiesel in order to become more
sustainable.
Hydrogen fuel cells may be the wave
of the future; but they are cost-restrictive
right now. Biodiesel provides the ideal
transition to make Regional Transit System
buses cleaner and more eco-efficient. It can
be used in the entire fleet without a large
financial investment. Biodiesel is one step
closer to a healthier environment and a
more sustainable university. I urge stu-
dents to support more eco-friendly buses
for their own health and for the sake of
the Earth.

Summers not fit to be Harvard leader
.Editor: This is an open letter to
Lawrence H. Summers:
It would appear that you lack the nec-
essary qualifications of an educator in
that you do not believe every child can
learn equally. You say there is a paucity
of women in the sciences and mathemat-
ics because they may lack the innate abil-
ity. Once we were told blacks could not
learn to read. Then we were told a college
education would interfere with a woman's
nervous system.
You are part of the problem, sir es-
pecially by making such a comment while
in your position. In doing so, you also
shed doubt on the integrity of Harvard
University.
Since you haven't been able to sur-
mount the bastion of white male privileges
you were given as an accident of birth, it
would appear.it is you who have the learn-
ing disability, But perhaps the answer lies
elsewhere. To make such a comment at a
symposium with accomplished female ed-
ucators at the time of Martin Luther King
Jr.'s birthday indicates you may be moti-
vated by misogyny rather than ignorance.
In either case, you are unfit to serve and
should resign as president of Harvard.

Inauguration no worse than Clinton's
Editor: The date was Jan. 20, 1997.
The place: Washington, D.C. The event:


William Jefferson Clinton's second in-
auguration as president of the United
States. The cost: $29.6 million. One might
say that is a hefty price to pay for a mere
political party. However, it gets even bet-
ter. Factoring inflation data taken from
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics and the Consumer Price Index
for the Metro Washington, D.C., area
- into the equation, the price as it would
be today would jump to a rough estimate
of $36 million. If I'm not mistaken, that
compares quite nicely with today's price
on Bush's inauguration, which at the mo-
ment is estimated at $40 million. I would
say they more or less cancel each other out
where cost and spending are concerned,
yet I didn't see any Democrats hollering
about the price tag of their savior's inau-
guration.
I find it odd Jim O'Loughlin would
claim that these very expensive inaugura-
tions and political parties are thrown only
by rich Republicans for their rich friends,
when apparently Clinton had very similar
friends. Mind you, the world was not such
a peaceful place in 1997, yet people still
poured out their dollars to grab a seat to
see Clinton sworn in. America is a country
based on freedom, in which you can freely-
give money to organizations, charities and
political parties.
I just wish I could have used that free-
dom to attend the 1997 bash and maybe
snort some coke in the vicinity of B-Clint
- and maybe Monica, too.
Now that's my idea of money well
spent.-

Spring election boasts

PARTIES, from page 1

party applications. Florida Blue Key member Pedro "Peter"
Allende and Darren Goldman applied to be the Ignite party
president and treasurer, respectively, but Beeland would not
release what requirements the duo didn't meet because "it's a
violation of student records," she said.
Beeland said her department gave Allende and Goldman
a week's notice to find a student to replace the one that did
not meet qualifications, but neither Allende or Goldman re-
sponded to the notice.
Allende, a first-year law student, said he was not aware
Ignite did not meet requirements and had no knowledge of
the application's status as he was focusing on school work.
"School is a priority for me," Allende said, adding that he
would have to investigate before he commented further.
To participate in SG elections, an applicant must be
registered as a full-time student, have taken at least one
Summer term class and have a minimum 2.0 GPA both for
the previous semester and overall. The
., '. student should also be free of academic or
conduct problems and fee obligations.
Goldman did not return phone calls
for comment.
But two honors students who met
qualifications, Scott Gilton and Matthew
SLusby, were approved to represent the
Beeland Mad Hatters Party, Gilton describes his
party as people who "aren't commonly
the type to run for SG," and neither he nor Lusby have
Greek, Florida Blue Key, or prior SG election experience.
Gilton said they entered the race to make a difference af-
ter three years of disappointment in previous SG elections.
The name is not a reflectionof Spring electionmadnessbut
rather comes from a Web site, http://www.madhattery.net.
The two friends already had the site and decided to recycle
it, Gilton said.
"We don't want to to be the typical political party," he
said.
Parties approved thus far are Access, The Gator Party,
Mad Hatters, Phoenix, Progress, Strike Force and Voice.
Parties still going through the approval process are Student
Alliance and Keg.

Governor's plan may lessen grant funding


BUDGET, from page 1


FSU expansion though the school received $8 million
for such enhancements last year.
And though the governor's proposal found $1.5
million for an FSU chiropractic school that doesn't yet
exist, it would cut nearly 25 percent of the funding for
FSU's fledgling medical school.
UF Student Body President Jamal Sowell said he
was disappointed that the'governor would raise tu-
ition for'students-while decreasing the state's commit-
ment to higher education.
"The state has a mandate to ensure that the proper
necessities are given to the students of the state of


Florida," he said. "Education should be a top prior-
ity."
Sowell added that low tuition costs at Florida
universities are beneficial to the state because they
encourage qualified students to attend in-state schools
instead of enrolling elsewhere.
Undergraduate in-state tuition in Florida rose 7.5
percent in 2004 and 8.5 percent in 2003.
"Of course we understand that there will be [tu-
ition] increases because of inflation, but we don't want
it this high and not every single year," Sowell said.
State Sen. Rod Smith, a Democrat who represents
Alachua County, said he was unable to comment on
the governor's proposed budget as he was still unfa-
miliar with its specifics.


Bachelor's degree more common, less valuable


SALARY,from page 1


the only way to show educational status
is to have a higher degree."
But it's not as simple as earning an ad-
vanced degree, said Lauren Pasquarella
Daley, assistant director for graduate ser-
vices at the Career Resource Center.
Employers once looked at gradu-
ate students as costly investments,.
but they've started to see the value of
employees with master's degrees and
the critical-thinking, inter-
Student personal and management
Life abilities they bring to their
jobs, she said.
"Employers are starting to appreciate
those skills," Daley said.
In technical fieid,;. such as engineering
or busiess-.. .a bachelor s degree is suf-
ficient, and having an advanced degree
may make students overqualified for
entry-level positions, she said.
"Education is not always enough
nowadays," Daley said. "You have to
have some practical experience to get the
edge on \ our iomp-Itition "
Students should w eigh options before
heading straight to graduate school, she
said. If they don't have experience in the
field, a master's degree may not help
them find a job. Plus, its expensive.
_ "It's really hard to get through," Daley
said. "It's something a student should
consider carefully, because there are op-


portunities available."
Another option for students is to put
dual-enrollment or Advanced Placement
credits toward a combined bachelor's
and master's degree, Matheny said.
Most students bring 12 to 15 credits
when they first enroll at UF, and too
many pursue double majors or dual de-
grees, he said. If they instead put their se-
nior year toward a graduate degree, they
could use the Bright Futures Scholarship
Program to pay for it and get a head-start
on a master's.


"What's happening now is as the
'bachelor's degree becomes more and
more common, it becomes less and less
valuable," Matheny said. "Therefore it's
all about distance how much you can
distance yourself from the crowd."
SLaw degrees are becoming more like
bachelor's degrees used to be, as students
such as Rhyce go there for the flexibility.
"A lot of students go to law school
with no intention of practicing law; they
just know it's going to give them extra
clout," he said.

, Teacher draws inspiration from trip toEast Asia

Teacher draws inspiration from trip to East Asia


By ALICIA PEREZ
Avenue Writer

What began as a study tour became a
journey ending in pictures and paintings with
vivid colors and shapes.
Robert Ponzio, director of the Art Center


UF alumnus Robert Ponzio toured Asia for
three weeks, painting the scenes.


Gallery at Oak High School on Tower Road,
was a part of a study tour that took him
to several parts of East Asia, including,
Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo and resulted
in an exhibition entitled "Postcard from
East Asia."
"I was offered to take a class once a week
for eight months, about the history and cul-
ture of East Asia," said Ponzio, who studied
fine arts and painting at UE "After completing
the class, I, along with 1.6 other teachers were
eligible to apply for a study tour."
The inspiration for this tour came from
Monica Rohrbaugh, coordinator of educations
and training programs at UF, Ponzio said.
"Robert certainly does not need anyone,
especially me, to inspire him to create such
wonderful works," Rohrbaugh said..
The exhibition at Oak High School will run
through Feb. 2.
Ponzio said he painted everything and ev-
eryone he saw while he was on the three-week
trip, which was made possible in part by UF's
Asian Studies Program
"I went to a small village, and I realized
how simple these people live, but they are
happy," Ponzio said. "I think that moment will
remain in my thoughts for a long time because
I saw that these people only cared about bet-
tering themselves."
He said he hopes his art will build a bridge
between cultures, adding that he aspires to
achieve a new outlook on the world through
his work.
Although "Postcard" is a significant exhibit
for Ponzio, it is not his first. He has had many


Robert Ponzio's paintings from his trip will be on display at the Art Center Gallery at
Oak High School until Feb. 2.


more exhibits all over the country, he said.
He draws inspiration to paint from any-
thing.
He said he feels he doesn't need to set a
time to sit down and draw; he just pulls out
his sketchbook and begins to paint.
"I don't remember a time when I wasn't
painting," he said with nostalgia. "I painted


through college, and that is when it got seri-
ous."
Traveling is the best part of being an artist,
he said. And as a teacher many more opportu-
nities are at your disposal, he said.
"I enjoy seeing and meeting new people
and hopefully will continue to travel around
the world," he said.


Film's intricate threesome breaks down stereotypes


T che heart wants what it wants.
However, the heart is a compli-
cated being, and what it wants
often is difficult to understand.
The 2004 Russian comedy, "You
I Love," illustrates this through the
story of three young strangers and
the bizarre love triangle that forms
between them.
The first of several odd en-
counters takes place when Timofei
(Evgeny Koryakovsky), an ex-
ecutive for a top advertising firm in
post-Communist Moscow, meets the
glamorous Vera (Lubov Tolkalina), a
popular Russian news anchor.
From their first meeting at a
small Moscow cafe where he buys

her lunch, the two quickly form a
relationship that takes off smoothly
until a stranger appears in their lives
and changes everything.
While driving alone one night,
Timofei accidentally hits a young
man named Uloomji (Damir
Badmaev) when he falls almost
literally out of the sky and on to the
hood of Timofei's car. Timofei helps
-the injured boy by taking him to a
hospital and later to his apartment
after he discovers Uloomji is home-
less.
Uloomji, who cleans cages in
the Moscow zoo, is a peculiar and
innocent youth with dreams of per-
forming in a circus. However, upon

While Vera is at first confused by

interest, she soon befriends his lover
and before long the twosome is a
threesome. Things are interrupted
however, when Uloomji's family
becomes involved.
More than just a humorous
love story, "You I Love" provides
thought-provoking social com-
mentary on several aspects of daily
modem life in Russian.
SIt probes the country's homo-
phobic stereotypes, racial and
class differences and the changing
sexual attitudes of a now capitalist
Russia.
"You I Love" is as visually amus-
ing, if not more so, as its content.
Its quirky montages, strange love


scenes and glossy, stylish look lend
itself to the idea that this is no ordi-
nary romance.
Directed and produced by Olga
Stolpovskaya and Dmitry Troitsky,
"You I Love" is the official selec-
tion of the Berlin Film Festival and
winner of the best foreign narrative
award at the New Festival 2004
New York City Gay and Lesbian
Film Festival.
"You I Love" opens Friday at the
Hippodrome State Theatre, situated
at 25 SE Second Place, and runs until
Jan.27.

'102 Minutes' tells stories of Sept. 11 survivors


By GORDON VAN OWEN
Avenue Writer

The catastrophes of Sept 11, 2001,
shocked the nation and made us. all a3 aie
that we were u!nilrabibl to attackl tr.:m
outsiders.
While manii lOi:Lrnali-ts and phot,.,,ra-
phers have mnad att!emp-,ts to document
the events that led up to and followed the
devastating 'crashes on the World Trade
Center towers, no onli hau1 i ported what
happened inside the t,.,. cr. on that fateful
morning.
Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn, literary


journalists, have released a new book that:
tells of the dire times from when the planFe-
first struck the tower to when they col-

"102 Minutes" tells the story of those:
Sh.. were inside the World Trade Center'
.andl heard the two iirpian.es strike the
milildinLw. from within the structures.
E-cEntiall the report gi-ve the tirst-h.ind
SacLoount a; told by .ur\ ii or-
MILie than 14,000 peoplewere \ ith in the
two buildirn,_s that morning. Whether the:-
Sere .it their de-ks trading stocks or nian-
a in g tih financial center of the world, they
did not sui ipec the pending chaos, not to


mention those who were eating breakfast at
-the revolving restaurant atop the towers.
Dwyer and Flynn's new book chillingly
retells the events of what some would call
the most infamous day in American his-
tory.
Though millions worldwide gazed at
their televisions at the destruction wrought
in New York City that day, few realize that
thousands survived the attacks. Few writ-
ers have attempted to tell their tales first
hand.
The title is drawn from the time between
when the first plane struck the first tower
-and when the towers collapsed.


While almost all stories about the events
of that day have been told from the outside
looking in,-this new novel presents the story
in a different light. The authors interviewed
hundreds who were involved and created a
chilling history told from the rescuers' and
survivors' side.
Though the book confronts the:survivors
about their experiences in the crumbling
towers, it also emphasizes building safety
and other construction codes.
A historical narrative, "102 Minutes" is
heart-stopping and detailed, while keeping
the reader enthralled about one of the most
historic events of the modem era.


'Brick City' DJ saves otherwise mediocre


G ainesville nightlife v. ill

Managers and promoters
finally are going to be held respon-
sible for the "awesome" club nights
they daim to have, because I'm
hear to sift through the mess that is
downtown and praise those doing
it right.
Why should you listen to me? I'm
hard to impress. A good night for
me entails more than flashy lights,
cheap drink specials and scantily
clad women. What many managers
ignore is environment and music.
Most of Gainesville's resident DJs
seem to spin from the same CD and
think their job is to fade one track.
into another.
That's why I'm here to call them
out.
What I'm not here to do is de-
stroy a locale's reputation. .I just


want to help them realize what
they're doing wrong. Trust me, a
gimmick only can last so long until
the young ones with expendable
incomes move on to the next "new-
est thing."
Luckily, the newest thing
Thursday night was the rebirth of
Brick City, part of the building con-
glomerate that houses 238 West and
Martinys. In 2001, it was a concert
venue; now, it has the potential to
be one of Gainesville's hottest nights
- if the managers quickly can fix
the problems encountered on its
grand opening.
One issue that jumped out im-
mediately was'the utter disorgani-
zation outside although not as
bad as Voodoo's infamous Friday
night lines.
The line, which extended past the
entrance of Martinys, barely moved

couldn't help but compare the atmo-
sphere to Miami's newest club Pawn
Shop. Although I thought it was
quite a stretch, it does have a charm
that many local clubs lack. Inside, it

Drinks prices were average, with
two rounds costing me and my three

Despite all the minor setbacks,

Maxwell Edison's making their moms proud


It isn't often that a band feels uncom-
fortable when some of their biggest
fans want to buy their merchandise.
-But when the merchandise is a
thong bearing the band name and the
aforementioned fans are the bandmates'
mothers, "uncomfortable" may be an
understatement.
Such is the case for Maxwell Edison,
a four-piece Gainesville band entering its
third year.
"They run large," Steve Lincoln, the
22-year-old bass player, said. He gestured
to illustrate the thong riding up past his


belly button. "They go up real high."
The fun-loving band will be playing
at The Side Bar at 10 p.m. Saturday The
cover's $5.
Maxwell Edison is UF students
Lincoln Tim Ha zen. C.-llin Whitlock and
alumni Jake Nlc lullen
Though they pursue separate areas
of interest academically, the band has
chemistry onstage that seamlessly keeps
them together.
In their own words, they sound like
Ben Folds Five in that they use a piano,
or Coldplay if they played blues and rock


'n' roll- but dif-
ferent.
It all began
in Beaty Towers
with floormates
Hazen and
June Cappiello Whitlock, who
Playlist formed "open-
jcappiello@alligator.org mic duo" at the
Shamrock.
McMullen, who also lived in Beaty,
was asked to join the band without an
audition in a sort of "drunken seren-
dipity" moment one night, Whitlock


said, and with Lincoln; the lineup was
complete.
The four have been inseparable since.
Hazen and Whitlock have been room-
mates for three years, while Lincoln and
McMullen have co-habitated for v. o
Though they say it's hard to balance
everyone's schedules and find time to
rehearse, the band perseveres. Maxwell
Edison has appeared around Gainesville
and has gained respect from their fans.
Their mothers should be proud.

Fauxmones, Morningbell rock for charity's sake


Editor's note: Check out the rest of Nathaniel's
interview on www.alligator.org.
Ow bands rock like the legendary Ramones.
"The Ramones are, simply put, the greatest rock
band to ever come out of America," Fauxmones
front man Ben Mattison said.
The Fauxmones, a local Ramones cover band, along
with March to May and Momingbell will play tonight
at Orange & Brew, located inside the Reitz Union. Be
prepared for an energetic performance.
"I encourage the audience to hurl epithets and food
items if it's not up to par," Mattison said. "Although I


U.I^ "can't guarantee we won't hurl
back."
i Proceeds raised at the show

i Breaks, a student organization

Nathaniel Deas Spring Breaks to volunteer.for
I Playlist programs benefiting fair trade,
ndeas@alligator.org the homeless and women's
rights among other issues.
Program Director Brian Offenther expects a good show.
"The FAB people are really enthusiastic, and the


bands offer a good indication of local talent in music,"
he said. "The Orange & Brew is a great venue for live
music. There is plenty of floor space and even comfy
couches along the wings if you just want to sit back and
listen. The food is good, too."
If classic isn't your bag, March to May, who are
relatively new to the Gainesville music scene, offer up
something different.
"We are sort of a Jay-Z meets Common with a dash
of Tupac sound, only without the hip hop," drummer
Aubrey Way said before reconsidering. "Maybe that's a
bad example."

Never? Once a week? On the bus?
Whatever your answer is, it's nc
enough.
Regardless of getting a steady'suppl

Jump Your loving This is the best way to stay in tun
Bones Jones with not only what physically feels gooc
Undercovers but also what mentally gets your juice
undercovers2005@yahoo.com flowing (pun very intended).
Pick a quiet, comfortable place where
you'll have plenty of time and let you
mind (and hands) wander. If you have trouble getting yourself
off, I highly recommend investing in a vibrator.
Not only will this quickly become your best friend, it wi
make you quickly come.
Once you've figured out what it takes to make you moan, ir
troduce your guy back into the picture. Let him watch you plee
sure yourself, and, when you feel yourself on the brink of ecstas'
have-him lend you a hand.
During sex, position yourself so either you or he can play wift
your most pleasurable parts (you on top or rear entry work bes
for this). Don't be shy, invite a sex toy over for a threesome.
And lastly, always be open to trying new things. Greet you
man at the door wearing nothing but stilettos, wear a blindfold c
make an amateur pom. The sky's the limit (are you familiar wit
the Mile High Club?)
With enough patience, practice and lube, you'll be on you
way to multiples.

Dear Climactically Challenged,
Believe it or not, many women are unable to orgasm just from
intercourse. That's the primary reason men are given hands and a
tongue (or at least, that's my understanding).
While it would be great to pass out after sex on account of your
man's member taking a journey to the G-spot, I'm going to start
you off slow.
So slow, in fact, that you don't even need your boyfriend in-
volved.
The first thing to take a look at is how often you masturbate.

RECRUITING

Lack of linebackers makes UF an appealing target


By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Writer
eesteban@alligator.org

You can call them the four horsemen.
The Gators are heading into spring football with four line-
backers under scholarship, and Coach Urban Meyer and staff
are doing their best to remedy the biggest weakness on the
depth chart.
Freshmen Brandon Siler and Javier Estopinan, sophomore
Earl Everett and junior Todd McCullough are all that remain
from a linebacker corps that, when the injury bug bit, started
walk-on Alvin Butler against Vanderbilt.
Since the beginning-of last year, Channing Crowder opted
for the NFL Draft, Travis Harris' eligibility expired, Taurean
Charles was kicked off the team and Howard Lingard trans-


ferred, leaving UF with a glaring need.
Past recruiting woes have come full circle for the new staff
that now finds itself scrambling for quality and quantity
- with the offer of playing time.
"I'm not scared.of competition, but I know the opportunity
to play early is there at Florida," said Jerome Hayes, ranked the
No. 14 linebacker in the nation by Scout.com.
The Bayonne, N.J., native, who has narrowed his choices to
UF, Penn State and hometown Rutgers, is just one of the many
linebackers around the nation that the coaching staff is working
to bring to the Swamp.
Ryan Stamper, an oral commitment to Auburn, recently
received an in-home visit from both Meyer and defensive
coordinator Charlie Strong. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Stamper
played linebacker at First Coast High in Jacksonville, a tradi-
tional pipeline to UF that has graduated current Gators Mike


McIntosh, Kenneth Tookes and Reggie Lewis.
Stamper, who said he grew up a Gators fan, is scheduled to
visit Gainesville this weekend.
The Gators currently hold oral com-
mitments from Kalvin Baker, a 6-foot,
228-pound linebacker who led the state of
Georgia with 29 sacks his junior year, and
SGerald Williams, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound line-
backer who finished his senior season with
135 tackles (15 for loss), nine sacks and three
Interceptions.
Stamper UF will be looking to sign anywhere
between four and six linebackers to shore
up the depth chart.
Oral commitments are non-binding until a national letter-
of-intent is signed on National Signing Day on Feb. 2.

turnovers," Lee said. "We were dominat-.
ing them on the boards and actually play-
ing pretty good defense."
Despite the turnover problems, the


Gators took a 30-29 lead into halftime, but
fell behind by 10 after a 13-2 Volunteer run
in the second. UF, however chiseled away
at the Tennessee lead to send the game
into overtime, but couldn't account for the
three-point shooting of freshman guard
Chris Lofton.
Lofton, who led the SEC in three-point


shots coming into Tennessee's loss at South
Carolina on Saturday, made 2 three-point-
ers to open overtime and finished with a
Steamn-stcond be-t 22 points behind Scooter
McFadgon's 23.
"[Lofton] really hurt us from behind the
arc," Lee said. "For some reason, we didn't
find him behind the three-point line."


Donovan: Walsh not ready to play in overtime

Period."

being cleared by doctors until Tuesday. He added that he
had been practicing at full speed and scrimmaging with
his teammates for days.
But despite the apparent readiness, Coach Billy
Donovan substituted Walsh out with seven minutes
to play. Walsh-never returned, even when it seemed
Tennessee was volunteering to quintuple-team
Roberson. Did Walsh want to help him?


"Yeah, but that's not my job," Walsh said. "That's
coach's job, but of course I wanted to be in the
game."
Donovan said he needed to play Walsh because of an
upcoming six-day layoff, but couldn't rely on him because
of his foot.
"Matt's going to be an important guy," Donovan said.
"I hope he can come back from his ankle injury and I think
people would agree."
Until he does, he'll suffer from more than just a sting-
ing foot.
"Losing sucks. Period," Walsh said.


GIRV BALLS, from page 24

mal impact aside, the Gators lose in
the worst ways. At times, the Gators
looked clueless on set plays, with
passes sailing outof bounds.
Then there's losing to teams they
shouldn't lose to, especially with
the SEC in a down year. Take the
Volunteers, for instance. Although, the
writing.was on the wall when looking
at how UF does against Tennessee
- losses at Tennessee in the last two
years have hurt a Gators team that has
had the same nucleus of players.
These are games UF has to win,
because these are the sort of teams UF
will play in the NCAA Tournament.
We all know how that's turned out
the last three years.

SEC streak comes to close in O'Dome


I THE GATORS LOST TO
FENNESSEE IN OVERTIME.

By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligatOr.org

Call it basketball karma.
With nine seconds remain-
ng, Anthony Roberson sprinted
oward the sideline and drained
i three-point shot over two
Fennessee defenders, capping a
egulation-ending 8-2 Gators run
o tie the game.
'I know every time.I shoot
it, it's not going to fall.

Southeastern Conference) lost to
rennessee in overtime, 83-76.
"It's funny how it comes back
around," Roberson said.
Roberson, who carried the
JF offense with consecutive 30-
)oint games against Auburn and


Vanderbilt, finished a few shots
short, missing three key three-
pointers in overtime.
"I know every time I shoot it,
it's not going to fall," Roberson
"aid "But every time I let it go,
I teel like it's going to go in, and
that one didn't fall for me."
After his SEC Player of the
Week performance fueled the
Gators' undefeated conference
start, Roberson once again shoul-
dered his team's scoring burden,
finishing with 26 points on a 9
for 26 performance nearly half
of UF's 59 attempted shots.
For Coach Billy Donovan,
that doesn't scream balanced
offense.
Senior forward David Lee
made 1 of 3 attempts and fin-
ished with 11 points, while junior
Matt Walsh, who surprisingly
ended a three-week hiatus due
to a high ankle spr:in. finished 2
for 6 with 6 points.
"I felt like the last three
.games, we had pretty good bal-
ance inside and out," Donovan
said. "This was a game where
the\ were doubling David. He's
probably not going to get a high
volumee of shots. But when you
look at this game, and David has
only three shots our balance is
not very good at all."
Despite his meager offensive
game, Lee, along with freshman
Al Horford, pulled down 13 re-
bounds, highlighting UF's 42-30
advantage on the boards.
Led by Lee and Horford, the
Gators limited the Volunteers to

regular-season game to make-or-break status.
Aloss here and there is not on the same planet
as college football in its ramifications. It is well-
chronicled that the Gators do a good job in the
regular season and secure a manageable seed
in the tourney.


Once there, they re-enact the last few scenes
in "Hamlet" (in case you slept through that
stuff in high school, everybody dies from poi-
soning).
The Gators will get over this loss the minute
they hit the practice floor.

VOLUME 98 ISSUE 82 THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 TALLAHASSEE State budget may give UF ess fundIng By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanl@alligator.org TALLAHASSEE -In a budget recommendation where Gov. Jeb Bush proposes to slash higher education funding by nearly 8 percent in fiscal year 2005-20,06, UF stands to lose millions of dollars in state grant money."We feel that once we get an opportunity to explain in detail how these programs positively affect the lives of Floridians, we'll be able to make a good case for full funding." Tom Fortner UF Health Science center spokesman Bush would discontinue $1.7 million in grants to UF's Health Science Center for cancer research and cut total grants for UF by about $3.6 million -a decrease of more than 4 percent. Moreover, Bush's budget indicates he would veto a $2 million grant for UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences to map the citrus genome. In a statement, UF Health Science Center spokesman Tom Fortner noted that it is still very early in the budget process. "We feel that once we get an opportunity to explain in detail how these programs positively affect the lives of Floridians, we'll be able to make a good case for full funding," he stated in an email. Calls to the governor's press office Wednesday were not returned. .Bush's budget, which is merely a recommendation to the legislature, whose session convenes March 8, would also raise in-state tuition 7.5 percent. The cuts in state grants to UF come in amid diminishing funding for state universities in general. In a line-item display of the budget, which is available online at http://ebudget.state.fl.us, the governor proposed to slash university funding from $2.22 billion to $2.04 billion, a decline of $172.7 million. But the governor's total budget is $61.5 billion -an increase of nearly $3 billion over last year. The declining higher-education budget makes up about 3 percent of that total. UF wasn't the only school to see a funding drop in the proposed budget.

By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@aIligator.org When Ryan Rhyce graduated froin UF in Spring 2004, he took his bachelor's degree in psychology and went straight to law school without even looking for a job. He expects a law degree to bring not just flexibility but a higher salary as well. "It's a stepping stone for so many different things," Rhyce said. "Psychology was more a means to an end." Rhyce's plan has become more common as the increase of salaries for educated workers began to slow in 2000 after rising throughout the 1980s and 1990s, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, the percentage of college-educated Americans has increased steadily since the 1950s and will continue to rise. As the number of college graduates grows, students are finding themselves looking for ways to stand out from the crowd.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20,2005 11 ALLIGATOR, 3 STUDENT LIFE Machen seeks solutions to student alcohol abuse By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator Writer bhagen@aligator.org The recent alcohol-related deaths of at least four students led UF President Bernie Machen to host a meeting Wednesday to develop a plan to combat alcohol abuse among the student body. "I had not been used to the amount of drinking, underage drinking and binge drinking I've seen on this campus," said Machen, who came to UF after serving as president of the University of Utah. Susan Crowley, executive vice president of the Alachua County Medical Society, cautioned about changing trends in drinking habits. "Kids are binge drinking; they're drinking to get drunk before they even go out," Crowley said. "This is not your parents' drinking problem." Suggestions from attendees, including Alachua County Sheriff Steve Oelrich, focused on changing alcohol-related attitudes and Gainesville's party culture. "We're going to have a problem until we get to a point when the kids say, 'This is not a cool thing to do,"' Oelrich said. Alachua County Commission Chairwoman Cynthia Chestnut suggested sending college students to area middle and high schools to recount their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan. advocated shutting down any establishment found to serve alcohol to underaged patrons and educating students on the adverse effects alcohol can have on their academics and careers. Student Sen. Mike Belle suggested late-night alternatives, such as the coffeehouses and jazz clubs of larger cities. An official joint meeting of the city of Gainesville and UF will take place Feb. 16, featuring a guest speaker who will address further methods of curbing substance abuse. The prevalence of drinking among underage UF students in Fall 2004 was 72.8 percent, according to self-reported data provided by GatorWeil Health Promotion Services. More than half of those surveyed admitted to binge drinking. More than one in three claimed to have driven under the influence. Oelrich said he believes the numbers to be much higher. "I'm very passionate about this issue," Oelrich said. "I myself lost my 18-year-old son in a similar incident, and it cuts me to the bone." "Kids are binge drinking; they're drinking to get drunk before they even go out. This is not your parents drinking problem." Susan Crowley Executive vice president of the Alachua County Medical Society Machen also called for the reimplementation of the Gainesville Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee, which was formed in 1999 following two student deaths and changed UF party culture by implementing the rave ordinance and no-reentry policy at football games. The Reitz Union's Gator Nights program still offers students alcohol-free options, and the Later Gator buses keep revelers from driving home. UF also offers counseling for students through the Student Health Care Center and the University Counseling Center. Loca group protests circus, alleging animal cruelty Casey Anderson / Alligator Staff Jennifer Lopez and Ana Del Alamo protest animal captivity in front of the Circus Pages Wednesday afternoon. Lopez and Del Alamo are active members of Animal Activists of Alachua. By LAUREN MACDONALD Alligator Contributing Writer About nine members of the Animal Activists of Alachua waved signs about animal cruelty at the entrance to the Alachua County Fairgrounds, where Circus Pages performed Wednesday evening. Circus animals spend their lives chained in cages and beaten as part of their training, said Carolyn Mullin, the group's president. "We don't feel any animal should be used as a means for human entertainment," Mullin said. Elephants are trained with bullhooks, which are long poles with two sharp hooks on the end, she said. Elephants have sensitive skin, so circuses use powder to cover up the inevitable scars. Mullin said Circus Pages has repeatedly violated federal animal welfare regulations in the past. The circus was cited in 2002 for failing to test four elephant handlers for .tuberculosis, which can spread between elephants and humans. At that point, Mullin said, the issue concerns human safety as well as prevention of animal cruelty. Animal Activists of Alachua has protested Circus Pages on previous visits to Gainesville, said the group's promotions officer, Ana Del Alamo. "It doesn't seem like anything is really changing," she said. Mullin said the group hopes Circus Pages and other animal circuses will retire their animals into special animal sanctuaries. "This show takes real good care of their animals," said John Fuller, a blue-haired Circus Pages clown. Randall Emery, who has helped care for Circus Pages animals for about three weeks, Student said the animals ActivSm are fed and washed regularly. The animals at Circus Pages were better treated than at other circuses where Emery has worked, he said. In particular, he said the Circus Pages elephant trainer doesn't beat the elephants with bullhooks. "He has 'em," Emery said, "but he doesn't use 'em." The circus was found to be in compliance with federal regulations about three weeks ago, Emery said. Mullin said that even if Circus Pages meets federal standards for animal welfare, her group would continue to protest because circus animals generally are kept in inhumane conditions. Sheriff combats traffic fatalities with speed-limit campaign E SHERIFF STEVE OELRICH CITED MORE CARS AND FEWER ROADS AS CAUSES OF THE FATALITIES. By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@alligator.org Following a sharp increase in traffic fatalities last year, the Alachua County Sheriff's Office has implemented a campaign to combat aggressive driving that will focus on stronger enforcement of speed limits. 'Sheriff Steve Oelrich proposed the plan after his office reported 52 traffic fatalities in 2004, practically doubling the previous year's total of 29. Oelrich said he looked at a 25-year traffic history and found 45,000 more cars registered in the county, an increase in student vehicles and approximately 170,000 licensed drivers. "We have almost two times as many drivers," Oelrich said. "The roads are more 'crowded." Making this increase more dangerous is the fact that there are not enough new roads to compensate for the increase of traffic flow, Oelrich said. "It's less safe to be out on the highways than it was 25 years ago," he said. The campaign consists of new radar equipment for officers, greater numbers of both marked and unmarked patrol vehicles, five new BMW motorcycles and a dedicated traffic bureau within the ASO, Oelrich said. Created about 2 1/2 years ago, the bureau consists of one commander, one lieutenant, two sergeants and about 15 deputies. The officers primarily patrol at high-traffic _7 times such as weekends and rush hour. The campaign is going as planned -neither Oelrich nor ASO Public Information Officer Lt. Jim Troiano have any complaints. Oeirich Pi"The sheriff is taking a very strong position," Troiano said. "We want to go out and crack down on these aggressive drivers." So far this year, the agency has reported no traffic fatalities. Additionally, both mentioned the nearby town of Waldo as a model of safe driving, crediting local law enforcement efforts. The town of 821 was designated as a "traffic trap" by the American Automobile Association in 2003. Waldo, which is within Alachua County, is known for heavy ticketing along a stretch of U.S. 301 where the speed limit drops from 55 mph to 35 mph. "People abide by the speed limit there," Oelrich said. "And they have a very low accident rate." Alachua County. issued over 70,000 traffic tickets last year. Troiano said he hopes the campaign will spread awareness of the dangers of excessive speeding and encourage drivers to abide by posted regulations.

4, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 STUDENT LIFE Admfiflnistration, students discuss campus issues By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs, provided the opporturdty for heads of six student organizations and the Student Senate to sing praises and air grievances in her office Wednesday. "This office is here for students," Telles-Irvin said. "One of the things I'm struck by is how few students know that it's here." Student Senate President Bryson Ridgway organized the meeting, which included presidents of the Asian Student Union, Hispanic Student Association, Pride Student Union, Graduate Student Council, Interfratermity Council and Panhellenic Coiumcil. Representatives first lauded opportunities at .UF such as study abroad and internships. Telles-Irvin later opened up the floor to criticisms and suggestions for improvement. Criticisms ranged from urder-representation and diversity issues to UF's role in the community and its image at large. Asian Student Union President Mark Villegas said international credits should make up a larger part of students' general education requirements. "There's no Latino studies [minor], which totally blows my mind," Villegas said. "We're in Florida." Students suggested involvement with the Gainesville community. "We're basically the heart of Gainesville," said Mike Bowen of the Graduate Student Council, "and we should use the great resources that we have to give to that community." When Telles-ivin asked how UF could reach its goal of becoming a Top 10 school, Allison Andrews of the Pride Student Union said she was worried UF might be pushing research too much, which would take away from teaching Telles-Irvin quality. She said some teachers have done excellent research but can't connect with students. There was a consensus at the meeting that freshmen are given a mixed message. They are told to hurry up and graduate and at the same time to branch out and get involved. IFC President John Dicks suggested a mentor program for undergraduates as a solution. It would also help build a bridge to the students, Bowen said. Dicks suggested Telles-Irvin make herself available once a month in a chat room and continue to hold monthly meetings with students. FAB auction contributes to Spring Break charity trips N THE AUCTION ITEMS WERE DONATED BY GAINESVILLE BUSINESSES. By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Contributing Writer Florida Alternative Breaks raised between $500 and $1,000 in their third annual silent auction Wednesday. The auction, held in a Reitz Union meeting room from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., raised money for funding the organization's Spring Break trips. As Spring Break approaches and UF students plan trips to exotic locations around the world, members of Florida Altemative Breaks plan to spend their Spring Break contributing to needy causes across the United States. "Each trip has a different issue that is prevalent here in Gainesville," said Sara Hanson, the organization's fud-raiser and a third-year sociology student. "The idea behind FAB is to expose the students to the issue in a different environment so they come back to Gainesville and volunteer here." Items available at the auction ranged from a hotel stay at a Holiday Inn to a baseball hat autographed by the Jacksonville Jaguars' Joe Zelenka. The items were donated by 19 businesses around Gainesville. The group's upcoming community service projects will take place throughout the Southeast United States. This year, the organization also is expanding internationally, and the members will travel to Costa On Rica. The group has been providCaMpUS ing the opportunity for students' to go on community service trips for about 12 years. Florida Alternative Breaks uses the silent auction and other fundraisers to ease the cost of trips to the service project sites. A weeklong trip can cost as little as $250 if fundraising is successful. "I've been here for three years, and my first year I went to New Orleans on an equal-education trip," said Dave Pirman, a fourth-year chemistry major. "We saw a completely different side of youth, completely impoverished. You saw how hard it was for them to get out. Their entire lives are there." The trips provide a variety of challenges for students who are willing to get involved in helping the community. The organization is still in the process of filling all the spots for their 11 trips. Each trip will have 14 participants. FED UP WITH THE REALITY THE MEDIA CREATES FOR YOU? START CREATING YOUR OWN! What tHe '3 ~ P Do wY A1ow!? ONLY IN THEATERS!

By-LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@alligator.org Drawing them in with the power of an activist's immortal words, Joe Rogers transported a gathering of UF students to the Civil Rights Era Wednesday night. Rogers, a former lieutenant governor of Colorado and one of only four blacks to have held that post nationally, brought his "Dream Alive" program to 25 students in the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom. The program aims to bring the ideals of Martin Luther King Jr. to today's generations through the delivery of two of King's best-known speeches. "I think that the principles that Dr. King stood for and the things he fought for still resonate today," said Beth Waltrip, associate director of student activities and coordinator of the event. Rogers encouraged the audience to imagine itself back in 1963, in sweltering heat and amid the thouL sands marching on Washington, D.C., the site of King's 1I Have a Dream" speech. Then Rogers' gentle voice transformed, fluidly taking on King's recognizable cadence and rhythm as he spoke to the entranced audience. Rogers said the speech has been called one of the five On greatest in the history of CaMpUS mankind. "Somehow he captured the essence of what it means to be an American," he said. He also spoke of the church bombings in Montgomery, Ala., before moving on to the "I've Been to the Mountain Top" speech King delivered in Memphis the night before his assassination. UF student Tamika Hunter attended the event to honor King, whom she called one of her "all-time favorite leaders." She called Rogers a "dynamic speaker." "He allowed us to relive&them (the speeches) by engaging us," she said. New fraternity settles in Formal rush begins tonight By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer UF students attended an informal rush meeting for one of UF's newest fraternities Wednesday night. Christian fraternity Kappa Upsilon Chi became active at UF in the Fall and will induct its first pledge class this Spring. InternalVice President Eric Waters, 22, explained the principles of the fraternity to a group of about 15 interested students. "Our goal is to be a positive influence on the campus. We're about being there for each other," Waters said. Members spoke about socials, formals, service projects, prayer nights and other activities the fraternity will take part in. "Our fraternity is based on Christ but with the things any other fraternity does," President Paul Kayieles said. Many of the six founding members said they went through the Interfraternity Council recruitment process in past semesters and it wasn't for them, promptingthem to start a UF chapter of Kappa Upsilon Chi. Sean --Cunningham, a legacy from the fraternity's founding chapter at Texas Tech University and a teaching assistant at UF, encouraged the hopefuls to think seriously about deciding to pledge. "Pledgeship is a time of sacrifice, but anyGreek thing worth having Life is worth fighting for and worth earning," he said. Kappa Upsilon Chi will begin its formal rush at 6 p.m. Thursday night in the Reitz Union. AROUND GAINESVILLE GRU to absorb hurricane costs By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@alligator.org Gainesville Regional Utility customers need not worry about added surcharges to their energy bills despite recent-plans by Florida Power & Light Co. to pass on hurricane-related fees to its customers. GRU Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Hunt said each year publicly owned GRU budgets for unforeseen costs provide for consistent rates and serve as a contingency fund for emergencies. "Fortunately, we're well-positioned to absorb any additional costs such as those that resulted from the hurricanes this year," Hunt said. On Tuesday, FPL gained the approval of the Public Service Commission to pass $354 million of its storm-related expenses onto the company's more than four million customers in the form of a $2.09 fee to be tacked onto their monthly electric bills. The increase, which will take effect in mid-' February, is expected to last two years. However, GRU had preparedfor such scenarios. Although GRU spent an estimated $5.5 million to $6 million to compensate for local destruction caused by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne, customers will not be responsible for surcharges similar to those imposed by privately owned FPL. "Fortunately, we're well-positioned to absorb any additional costs such as those that resulted from the hurricanes this year." Jennifer Hunt GRU Chief Financial Officer Instead, between 85 percent and 90 percent of that sum will be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Hunt said. FPL must still justify its rate increase at hearings in March and April. If it is not approved, the coinpany will be expected to reimburse its customers for the extra charge. Bill proposes blood donor privacy Product of cooperation within Florida Legislature By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org Two Florida officials announced a proposed bill aimed at strengthening privacy protection for blood donors in Gainesville. Florida Rep. Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, unveiled his latest bill, co-sponsored by state Sen. Rod Smith, D-Gainesville, at an outdoor press conference Wednesday morning at the LifeSouth Community Blood Center on Newberry Road. "This is an important piece of legislation," Cretul said of the Blood Donor Protection Act. "It protects our state's blood supply by ensuring privacy for those who give so altruistically to save the lives of strangers." Cretul is a "galloneer" blood donor who last Fall received two pints of .blood ina transfusion for an ulcer. "Who can better communicate the message than someone who has been there on both ends?" he asked. The bill would implement changes at blood centers across Florida, including LifeSouth, which distributes about 200,000 units of blood annually to hea"thcare facilities in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Cretul said he hopes to push the bill through the Florida House in the next two months, and if passed the bill would take effect on Dale 'Malloy, president and CEO of the Florida Georgia Blood Alliance and a former president of the Smith American Association of Blood Banks, said donor anonymity is essential to keep the flow of donations strong and protect tie blood supply from diseases.

6, ALLIGATOR id THURSDAY, JANUARY 20; 2005 Editorial Back ache FSU chiropractic school deserves lack of support This time, we don't have to joke on FSU. They're doing a pretty good job of it themselves. In case you haven't heard through the incredulousstudent grapevine, FSU soon may add a chiropractic school to its "esteemed" campus. But this is no laughing matter. The chiropractic-school proposal could have dire consequences for not only FSU's integrity, but the integrity of the state university system as a whole. The program would be the only one of its kind in the country, and not without reason. The scientific community, as a whole, vehemently opposes the inclusion of chiropractics as a legitimate healing art. Studies of chiropractics' possible health benefits have been inconclusive, and proponents' arguments have not been accepted by prominent medical associations. Further, medical professionals are leery of questionable "spiritual" elements sometimes associated with the practice. For instance, the Capital Medical Society, an association of more than 500 Tallahassee-area doctors, unanimously voted Jan. 4 to oppose the school. FSU's faculty has spoken as well. At least seven medical school professors have threatened to resign if the program is approved, and 30 faculty members collectively took out a fullpage ad in the Tallahassee Democrat in protest. There is no support for the proposal even within FSU's Board of Trustees. While it did vote 11-2 to pass the issue to the state Board of Governors, several trustees openly opposed the plan and none publicly favored it. To be fair, however, FSU actually did not ask for a chiropractic school. Unsurprisingly, the driving force behind the proposal is Florida Senate Majority Leader Dennis Jones, who himself is a chiropractor. But this is not a matter of concern only for FSU. If it was, we simply would stand by and laugh as the university's reputation went down like the Seminoles against the Gators this season.o This is a matter of concern for Florida's public university system, which already faces enough challenges. At the very least, the $9 million annually the Legislature appropriated for the chiropractic program -not to mention the cost of a new building to house it -could be spent on addressing issues such as overcrowding, low teacher salaries and increasing tuition. And the state's image certainly doesn't need another mark against it, considering the popular perception of Florida as a loony bin since the spectacle of the 2000 presidential election recounts. But some good has come out of the proposal, if only because of the controversy it has generated. The discussions involved have thrust into. sharp relief the fact that no clear line of authority exits over the state's public universities, as the state Legislature, the schools' boards of trustees and the state Board of Governors still fight for control. In this case, the Board of Governors needs to take charge and kill this proposal before any more word of it can get out. So when you feel like laughing at the things the garnet and gold do to themselves, instead take the time to tell them you don't appreciate their bringing the whole state down with them. And then you can laugh.

Bush was looked upon as an accidental president. His election seemed like an aberration and a freak event that would stand out in history books forever. But on Nov. 2, not only did the President win re-election, but he won by a margin of more than 3.5 million votes. Suddenly, it seemed the dream had become a nightmare. Who would have predicted Dubya would dominate the first decade of the 21st century? His victory isn't only a major coup for -the Bushes, it's a realignment of the geopolitical landscape of America -one that has granted him a political mandate to. drain the lifeblood from democracy, push ahead with the right's ideological program and rule in a way in which no sin can be too bold. So, what can we expect from the next four years? Here's a guide to the next phase of his revolutionary second term: 1. Picture a fantasy of total control. Dubya is no footnote in history -he single-handedly heralded a conservative takeover of all three branches of government. With a fully Republican Congress at his disposal, he intends to rule on the three-issues that won him the election: God, guns and gays. In the judicial branch, the president choreographed the rise of Alberto Gonzalez, who repeatedly supported the president's right to imprison and torture anyone involved in national security. 2. What second term jinx? Despite the actions of Halliburton, despite the mayhem and disaster in Iraq, despite the absence of weapons of mass destruction, despite the Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay tortures and despite Tom Delay's dirty politics and lying about his military record, Bush still got elected. Whatever scandals pop up in his second term will be small potatoes compared to his first. 3. Tax reform and Social Security. Erik Maza The gist of Bush's tax reform Speaking Out plan is to shift the tax burden to the working class by removing taxes on investment income, something that, along with privatization, has Wall Street salivating. We need these things like we need a Tara Reid comeback, mainly because there isn't a crisis with Social Security and tax cuts already benefit the elite to the detriment of everyone else. To preserve the solvency of Social Security, Bush needs to make a few changes to benefits and taxation, not revamp a program more than 47 million retirees depend on for a living. 4. The War on Terror. Under Bush, America only can lose its already dwindling reputation abroad and, as he continues to press his military agenda, we can only hope Iraq doesn't become our generation's Vietnam. Since the President blurred the line between Iraq and the War on Terror, let me put it in perspective: at a recent press conference, Tommy Thompson, former secretary of health and human services, wondered out loud why "terrorists hadn't attacked our food supply, because it is so easy to do." 5. What to do. Before you seek asylum abroad, why not try to piss off a few evangelicals and really rub it in to the idiots in charge. Did you quit drinking? Start again! -It's going to be a long four years, and getting loaded will be the easiest way to take your mind off of politics. Don't forget to have extremely deviant sex -what better way is there to annoy the family-values parade than to show solidarity with your kinky brethren? Finally, go hiking and enjoy what's left of America's wildlife, because in a few years we might not have what most people would call "an environment." Erik Maza is a journalism freshman.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Speaker's reasoning may have merit Editor: Wednesday's editorial ignored the fact that there are basic differences between men and women. Comparing claims of gender differences to claims of racial differences is absolutely ridiculous. Many studies have shown the male brain is more oriented to mathematic reasoning and the female brain is more oriented to verbal reasoning. There is nothing insulting about this, and it does not mean women cannot be good at math or men cannot be good at English. There are fewer women at the top of the science and mathematics academic fields, and there must be some reason for this. I'm sure the writer of the editorial believes this is only because men always get the best opportunities, but that simply is not the case. The president of Harvard was merely offering theories to explain this. The editorial was far more ignorant than the author claimed the speech to be. Ryan Nesselroade 2MS E U E Existing buses could be eco-friendly Editor: Gainesville needs to make its buses more environmentally sound. However, this does not require buying new buses to make them more ecofriendly; all it takes is using biodiesel fuel in place of regular diesel fuel. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. It is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as quickly as sugar. Since it is made in America from renewable resources, its use decreases our dependence on foreign oil and contributes to our own economy. Many students don't realize riding the bus can be harmful to their health. Dieselfuel exhaust not only smells bad but also contains carcinogens and greenhouse gases. Just standing at a bus stop for 10 minutes can equal the exposure of smoking dozens of cigarettes. Lung cancer and asthma are just a few of the conditions that diesel-fuel exhaust can contribute to. Converting to biodiesel is easy. Biodiesel can be combined at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. Only the highest blends require small-engine modifications. Biodiesel also provides improved lubricity over petroleum diesel, helping engines run smoother with comparable performance. Numerous communities have switched to using biodiesel for school buses and other vehicles. Universities such as Harvard University and Purdue University are using biodiesel in order to become more sustainable. Hydrogen fuel cells may be the wave of the future,but they are cost-restrictive right now. Biodiesel provides the ideal transition to make Regional Transit System buses cleaner and more eco-efficient. It can be used in the entire fleet without a large financial investment. Biodiesel is one step closer to a healthier environment and a more sustainable university. I urge students to support more eco-friendly buses for their own health and for the sake of the Earth. Stephanie Sims 3EG Summers not fit to be Harvard leader Editor: This is an open letter to Lawrence H. Summers: It would appear that you lack the necessary qualifications of an educator in that you do not believe every child can learn equally. You say there is a paucity of women in the sciences and mathematics because they may lack the innate ability. Once we were told blacks could not learn to read. Then we were told a college education would interfere with a woman's nervous system. You are part of the problem, sir -especially by making such a comment while in your position. In doing so, you also shed doubt on the integrity of Harvard University. Since you haven't been able to surmount the bastion of white male privileges you were given as an accident of birth, it would appear. it is you who have the learning disability, But perhaps the answer lies elsewhere. To make such a comment at a symposium with accomplished female educators at the time of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday indicates you may be motivated by misogyny rather than ignorance. In either case, you are unfit to serve and should resign as president of Harvard. Linda Miklowitz President, Florida National Organization for Women U N.U Inauguration no worse than Clinton's Editor: The date was Jan. 20, 1997. The place: Washington, D.C. The event: William Jefferson Clinton's second in7 auguration as president of the United States. The cost: $29.6 million. One might say that is a hefty price to pay for a mere political party. However, it gets even better. Factoring inflation data -taken from U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Price Index for the Metro Washington, D.C., area -into the equation, the price as it would be today would jump to a rough estimate of $36 million. If I'm not mistaken, that compares quite nicely with today's price on Bush's inauguration, which at the moment is estimated at $40 million. I would say they more or less cancel each other out where cost and spending are concerned, yet I didn't see any Democrats hollering about the price tag of their savior's inauguration. I find it odd Jim O'Loughlin would claim that these very expensive inaugurations and political parties are thrown only by rich Republicans for their rich friends, when apparently Clinton had very similar friends. Mind you, the world was not such a peaceful place in 1997, yet people still poured out their dollars to grab a seat to see Clinton sworn in. America is a country based on freedom, in which you can freely give money to organizations, charities and political parties. I just wish I could have used that freedom to attend the 1997 bash and maybe snort some coke in the vicinity of B-Clint -and maybe Monica, too. Now that's my idea of money well spent.

8, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 Spring election boasts plenty of competition PARTIES, from page 1 party applications. Florida Blue Key member Pedro "Peter" Allende and Darren Goldman applied to be the Ignite party president and treasurer, respectively, but Beeland would not release what requirements the duo didn't meet because "it's a violation of student records," she said. Beeland said her department gave Allende and Goldman a week's notice to find a student to replace the one that did not meet qualifications, but neither Allende or Goldman responded to the notice. Allende, a first-year law student, said he was not aware Ignite did not meet requirements and had no knowledge of the application's status as he was focusing on school work. "School is a priority for me," Allende said, adding that he would have to investigate before he commented further. To participate in SG elections, an applicant nust be registered as a full-time student, have taken at least one Summer term class and have a minimum 2.0 GPA both for the previous semester and overall. The student should also be free of academic or conduct problems and fee obligations. Goldman did not return phone calls for comment. But two honors students who met qualifications, Scott Gilton and Matthew Lusby, were approved to represent the Beeland Mad Hatters Party, Gilton describes his party as people who "aren't commonly the type to run for SG," and neither he nor Lusby have Greek, Florida Blue Key, or prior SG election experience. Gilton said they entered the race to make a difference after three years of disappointment in previous SG elections. Thename is nota reflectionof Spring electionmadnessbut rather comes from a Web site, http:/ /www.madhattery.net. The two friends already had the site and decided to recycle it, Gilton said. "We don't want to to be the typical political party," he said. Parties approved thus far are Access, The Gator Party, Mad Hatters, Phoenix, Progress, Strike Force and Voice. Parties still going through the approval process are Student Alliance and Keg. BUDGET, from page 1 FSU expansion though the school received $8 million for such enhancements last year. And though the governor's proposal found$1.5 million for an FSU chiropractic school that doesn't yet exist, itwould cut nearly 25 percent of the funding for FSU's fledgling medical school. UF Student Body President Jamal Sowell said he -was disappointed that the governor would raise tuition for students while decreasing the state's commitment to higher education. "The state has a mandate to ensure that the proper necessities are given to the students of the state of Florida," he said. "Education should be a top priority." Sowell added that low tuition costs at Florida universities are beneficial to the state because they encourage qualified students to attend in-state schools instead of enrolling elsewhere. Undergraduate in-state tuition in Florida rose 7.5 percent in 2004 and 8.5 percent in 2003. "Of course we understand that there will be [tuition] increases because of inflation, but we don't want it this high -and not every single year," Sowell said. State Sen. Rod Smith, a Democrat who represents Alachua Corunty, said he was unable to comment on the governor's proposed budget as he was still unfamiliar with its specifics. Bachelor's degree more common, less valuable SALARY, from page 1 the only way to show educational status is to have a higher degree." But it's not as simple as earning an advanced degree, said Lauren Pasquarella Daley, assistant director for graduate services at the Career Resource Center. Employers once looked at graduate students as costly investments,. but they've started to see the value of employees with master's degrees and the critical-thinking, interStudent personal and management Life abilities they bring to their jobs, she said. "Employers are starting to appreciate those skills," Daley said. In technical fields, such as engineering or business, a bachelor's degree is sufficient, and having an advanced degree may make students overqualified for entry-level positions, she said. "Education is not always enough nowadays," Daley said. "You have to have some practical experience to get the edge on your competition." Students should weigh options before heading straight to graduate school, she said. If they don't have experience in the field, a master's degree may not help them find a job. Plus, it's expensive. "It's really hard to get through," Daley said. "It's something a student should consider carefully, because there are opportunities available." Another option for students is to put dual-enrollment or Advanced Placement credits toward a combined bachelor's and master's degree, Matheny said. Most students bring 12 to 15 credits when they first enroll at UP, and too many pursue double majors or dual de-' grees, he said. If they instead put their senior year toward a graduate degree, they could use the Bright Futures Scholarship Program to pay for it-and get a head-start on a master's. "What's happening now is as the bachelor's degree becomes more and more common, it becomes less and less valuable," Matheny said. "Therefore it's all about distance -how much you can distance yourself from the crowd." Law degrees are becoming more like bachelor's degrees used to be, as students such as Rhyce go there for the flexibility. "A lot of students go to law school with no intention of practicing law; they just know it's going to give them extra clout," he said. -ollege grads face stiff competition ~ Salaries are leveling off, but college graduates still fare $952 E much better than others.

ll, AI(ATOENjT1JRNDAY,JANUARY 20,265 Teacher draws Inspi ration frorn trip to Eaist Asia By ALICIA PEREZ Avenue Writer What began as a study tour became a journey ending in pictures and paintings with vivid colors and shapes. Robert Ponzio, director of the Art Center image courtesy orooern rons o UF alumnus Robert Ponzio toured Asia for three weeks, painting the scenes. Gallery at Oak High School on Tower Road, was a part of a study tour that took him to several parts of East Asia, including, Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo and resulted in an exhibition entitled "Postcard from East Asia." "I was offered to take a class once a week for eight months, about the history and culture of East Asia," said Ponzio, who studied fine arts and painting at UF. "After completing the class, I, along with 1.6 other teachers were eligible to apply for a study tour." The inspiration for this tour came from Monica Rohrbaugh, coordinator of educations and training programs at UF, Ponzio said. "Robert certainly does not need anyone, especially me, to inspire him to create such wonderful works," Rohrbaugh said. The exhibition at Oak High School will run through Feb. 2. Ponzio said he painted everything and everyone he saw while he was on the three-week trip, which was made possible in part by UF's Asian Studies Program "I went to a small village, and I realized how simple these people live, but they are happy," Ponzio said. "I think that moment will remain in my thoughts for a long time because I saw that these people only cared about bettering themselves." He said he hopes his art will build a bridge between cultures, adding that he aspires to achieve a new outlook on the world through his work. Although "Postcard" is a significant exhibit for Ponzio, it is not his first. He has had many Robert Ponzio's paintings from his trip will be on display at the Art Center Gallery at Oak High School until Feb. 2. more exhibits all over the country, he said. He draws inspiration to paint from anything. He said he feels he doesn't need to set a time to sit down and draw; he just pulls out his sketchbook and begins to paint. "I don't remember a time when I wasn't painting," he said with nostalgia. "I painted through college, and that is when it got serious." Traveling is the best part of being an artist, he said. And as a teacher many more opportunities are at your disposal, he said. "I enjof seeing and meeting new people and hopefully will continue to travel around the world," he said. Film's intricate threesome breaks down stereotypes --e heart wants what it wants. However, the heart is a complicated being, and what it wants often is difficult to understand.

Timofei helps -the injured boy by taking him to a hospital and later to his apartment after he discovers Uloomji is homeless.

While Vera is at first confused by her boyfriend's newfound sexual interest, she soon befriends his lover and before long the twosome is a threesome. Things are interrupted however, when Uloomji's family becomes involved. More than just a humorous love story, "You I Love" provides thought-provoking social commentary on several aspects of daily modem life in Russian. It probes the country's homophobic stereotypes, racial and class differences and the changing sexual attitudes of a now capitalist Russia. "You I Love" is as visually amusing, if not more so, as its content. Its quirky montages, strange love scenes and glossy, stylish look lend itself to the idea that this is no ordinary romance.

THURSDAY, JANUAlR 20, 2005E ALLIGATOR, 1 OFF THE PRESS '112 Minutes' tells stories of Sept. 11 survivors By GORDON VAN OWEN Avenue Writer The catastrophes of Sept. 11, 2001, shocked the nation and made us all aware that we were vulnerable to -atack from outsiders. While many journalists and photographers have made attempts to document the events that led up to and followed the devastating crashes on the World Trade Center towers, no one has reported what happened inside the towers on that fateful morning.

While almost all stories about the events of that day have been told from the outside looking in,-this new novel presents the story in a different light. The authors interviewed hundreds who were involved and created a chilling history told from the rescuers' and survivors' side. Though the book confronts the-survivors about their experiences in the crumbling towers, it also emphasizes building safety and other construction codes. A historical narrative, "102 Minutes" is heart-stopping and detailed, while keeping the reader enthralled about one of the most historic events of the modern era. 'Brick City' DJ saves otherwise mediocre ainesville nightlife will change as of this moment.

Why should you listen to me? I'm hard to impress. A good night for me entails more than flashy lights, cheap drink specials and scantily clad women. What many managers ignore is environment and music. Most of Gainesville's resident DJs seem to spin from the same CD and think their job is to fade one track into another. That's why I'm here to call them out. What I'm not here to do is destroy a locale's reputation. I just want to help them realize what they're doing wrong. Trust me, a gimnmick only can last so long until the young ones with expendable incomes move on to the next "newest thing."

In 2001, it was a concert venue; now, it has the potential to be one of Gainesville's hottest nights -if the managers quickly can fix the problems encountered on its grand opening. One issue that jumped out immediately was the utter disorganization outside -although not as bad as Voodoo's infamous Friday night lines. The line, which extended past the entrance of Martinys, barely moved AKE YOU -0 KLB0S TBeach )Bahamas $664 Air + 5 nights at the Nassau Beach Hotel Europe >London $728 Air + 6 nights at the Astor, Hyde Park Hostel and 7 day travelcard Alternative ))Peru Inca Trail $1088 Air + 7 day GAP Adventures tour nJamaica Air + 4 nights at the Mariner's Inn ))Amsterdam $666 Air + 6 nights at the Hans Brinker Hostel nLas Vegas $552 Air + 5 nights at the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino J. Daniel Duran and was about seven p e o p l e wide. A clubg o e r 's dream is Night Writer not to stand jdduran@alligator.org in line for an hour just to get in. Once inside, some of my friends couldn't help but compare the atmosphere to Miami's newest club Pawn Shop. Although I thought it was quite a stretch, it does have a charm that many local clubs lack. Inside, it actually looks like a little city, with color awnings extending from the bars on either side of the dance floor and a brick-tiled courtyard complete with a white-picket fence. Two main VIP sections exist, one on the stage area next to the DJ and one in the back. However, if you plan to partake in the bottle VIP service, the back area gives you a lot more privacy and protects you from the DJ encouraging all the ladies to jump on stage, therefore ruining your VIP experience -another faux pas of the evening. Drinks prices were average, with two rounds costing me and my three friends $20. I do; however, discourage purchasing shots. A weak shot of Liquid Cocaine cost $8 and barely filled 1/3 of the shot cup. Despite all the minor setbacks, DJ Gonzo was the highlight of the evening. The Ybor City DJ was not afraid to put all those hits from Trick Daddy, Lil' Jon and Khia we love alongside more daring selections of old-school rap such as the Beastie e men's, wornen's & co-edleagues -dvdualslooking forateam should attend a please do not be lateto this rneeting officials are still needed for aill sports Flag Football Captain's Meeting Thursday, Jan.20 6:30 p.m. Reitz Union Rion Ballroom For All Your SKIING NEEDS We have everything -just like a shop at the slopes. and top brands: The North Face, Sport Obermeyer, No'rdica, Scott, Marker -we have them all -and accessories.

Unfortunately, only time will tell if he'll continue to make the two-hour trip to spin at Brick City every Thursday. The big question: Will Brick City become a Thursday-night staple? Market Street already is the place to be. Why? Because it -offers more than just dancing, the drinks are well-priced and the dress code is non-existent. Partiers may have flocked to the grand opening of Brick City, but it remains to be seen if it can lure patrons back. DJ Gonzo is well-worth the price of admission, but unless management can teach its bartenders how to mix a proper drink and find a faster way to usher in its patrons, Brick City again will fade into obscurity.

12, ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 Maxwell Edison's making their moms proud It isn't often that a band feels uncomfortable when some of their biggest fans want to buy their merchandise. -But when the merchandise is a thong bearing the band name and the aforementioned fans are the bandmates' mothers, "uncomfortable" may be an understatement. Such is the case for Maxwell Edison, a four-piece Gainesville band entering its third year. "They run large," Steve Lincoln, the 22-year-old bass player, said. He gestured to illustrate the thong riding up past his belly button. "They go up real high." The fun-loving band will be playing at The Side Bar at 10 p.m. Saturday The cover's $5. Maxwell Edison is UF students Lincoln, Tim Hazen, Collin Whitlock and alumni Jake McMullen. Though they pursue separate areas of interest academically, the band has chemistry onstage that seamlessly keeps them together. In their own words, they sound like Ben Folds Five in that they use a piano, or Coldplay if they played blues and rock 'n' roll -but different. It all began in Beauty Towers with floormates Hazen and June Cappiello Whitlock, who Playlist formed "openjcappiello@alligator.org mic duo" at the Shamrock. McMullen, who also lived in Beaty, was asked to join the band without an audition in a sort of "drunken serendipity" moment one night, Whitlock said, and with Lincoln, the lineup was complete. The four have been inseparable since. Hazen and Whitlock have been roommates for three years, while Lincoln and McMullen have co-habitated for two. Though they say it's hard to balance everyone's schedules and find time to rehearse, the band perseveres. Maxwell Edison has appeared around Gainesville and has gained respect from their fans. Their mothers should be proud. For more information, visit http:// www.maxwelledison.net.

Dear Climactically Challenged, Believe it or not, many women are unable to orgasm just from intercourse. That's the primary reason men are given hands and a tongue (or at least, that's my understanding). While it would be great to pass out after sex on account of your man's member taking a journey to the G-spot, I'm going to start you off slow. So slow, in fact, that you don't even need your boyfriend involved. The first thing to take a look at is how often you masturbate. Never? Once a week? On the bus? Whatever your answer is, it's nc enough. Regardless of getting a steady suppl of nookie (damn you for that!), it's sti crucial to regularly indulge in some-sel Jump Your lovin'. This is the best way to stay in tun Bones Jones with not only what physically feels gooc Undercovers but also what mentally gets your juice undercovers2005@yahoo.com flowing (pun very intended). Pick a quiet, comfortable place wher you'll have plenty of time and let you mind (and hands) wander. If you have trouble getting yourself off, I highly recommend investing in a vibrator. Not only will this quickly become your best friend, it wi make you quickly come. Once you've figured out what it takes to make you moan, ir troduce your guy back into the picture. Let him watch you plea sure yourself, and, when you feel yourself on the brink of ecstas, have-him lend you a hand. During sex, position yourself so either you or he can play wit your most pleasurable parts (you on top or rear entry work beE for this). Don't be shy, invite a sex toy over for a threesome. And lastly, always be open to trying new things. Greet you man at the door wearing nothing but stilettos, wear a blindfold c make an amateur porn. The sky's the limit (are you familiar wit the Mile High Club?). With enough patience, practice and lube, you'll be on you way to multiples.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 23 RECRUITING Lack of linebackers makes UF an appealing target By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Writer eesteban@allgator.org You can call them the four horsemen. The Gators are heading into spring football with four linebackers under scholarship, and Coach Urban Meyer and staff are doing their best to remedy the biggest weakness on the depth chart. Freshmen Brandon Siler and Javier Estopinan, sophomore Earl Everett and junior Todd McCullough are all that remain from a linebacker corps that, when the injury bug bit, started walk-on Alvin Butler against Vanderbilt. Since the beginning-of last year, Channing Crowder opted for the NFL Draft, Travis Harris' eligibility expired, Taurean Charles was kicked off the team and Howard Lingard transferred, leaving UF with a glaring need. Past recruiting woes have come full circle for the new staff that now finds itself scrambling for quality -and quantity -with the offer of playing time. "I'm not scared of competition, but I know the opportunity to play early is there at Florida," said Jerome Hayes, ranked the No. 14 linebacker in the nation by Scout.com. The Bayonrne, N.J., native, who has narrowed his choices to UF, Penn State and hometown Rutgers, is just one of the many linebackers around the nation that the coaching staff is working to bring to the Swamp. Ryan Stamper, an oral commitmentt to Auburn, recently received an in-home visit from both Meyer and defensive coordinator Charlie Strong. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Stamper played linebacker at First Coast High in Jacksonville, a traditional pipeline to UF that has graduated current Gators Mike McIntosh, Kenneth Tookes and Reggie Lewis. Stamper, who said he grew up a Gators fan, is scheduled to visit Gainesville this weekend. The Gators currently hold oral commitments from Kalvin Baker, a 6-foot, 228-pound linebacker who led the state of Georgia with 29 sacks his junior year, and Gerald Williams, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound linebacker who finished his senior season with 135 tackles (15 for loss), nine sacks and three interceptions. Stamper UP will be looking to sign anywhere between four and six linebackers to shore up the depth chart Oral comnuitments are non-binding until a national letterof-intent is signed on National Signing Day on Feb. 2. Roberson's 3-pointer sends game into extra period BASKETBALL, from page 24 turnovers," Lee said. "We were dominating them on the boards and actually playing pretty good defense." Despite the turnover problems, the Gators took a 30-29 lead into halftime, but shots coming into Tennessee's loss at South fell behind by 10 after a 13-2 Volunteer-run Carolina on Saturday, made 2 three-pointin the second.

GIRV BALLS, from page 24 mal impact aside, the Gators lose in the worst ways. At times, the Gators looked clueless on set plays, with passes sailing outof bounds. Then there's losing to teams they shouldn't lose to, especially with the SEC in a down year. Take the Volunteers, for instance. Although, the writing-was on the wall when looking at how UF does against Tennessee -losses at Tennessee in the last two years have hurt a Gators team that has had the same nucleus of players. These are games UF has to win, because these are the sort of teams UF will play in the NCAA Tournament. We all know how that's turned out the last three years.

Sports THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alIigator.org/sports SEC streak comes to close in O'Dome I I THE GATORS LOST TO rENNESSEE IN OVERTIME. By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Call it basketball karma. With nine seconds remainng, Anthony Roberson sprinted oward the sideline and drained t three-point shot over two [ennessee defenders, capping a egulation-ending 8-2 Gators run o tie the game. 'I know every time I shoot it, it's not going to fall. But every time I let it go, I feel like it's going to go n, and that one didn't fall for me." Anthony Roberson UF guard The fans erupted. Following i last-chance Tennessee airball, he Gators confidently skipped >ff the court. But just as the Gators taught Auburn one week earlier, lastninute heroics and home-court nonentum don't necessarily Nin ballgames, as UF (11-4, 3-1 southeasternn Conference) lost to Fennessee in overtime, 83-76. "It's funny how it comes back iround," Roberson said. Roberson, who carried the JF offense with consecutive 30-oint games against Auburn and Vanderbilt, finished a few shots short, missing three key threepointers in overtime. "I know every time I shoot it, it's not going to fall," Roberson said. "But every time I let it go, I feel like it's going to go in, and that one didn't fall for me." After his SEC Player of the Week performance fueled the Gators' undefeated conference start, Roberson once again shouldered his team's scoring burden, finishing with 26 points on a 9 for 26 performance -nearly half of UF's 59 attempted shots. For Coach Billy Donovan, that doesn't scream balanced offense. Senior forward David Lee made 1 of 3 attempts and finished with 11 points, while junior Matt Walsh, who surprisingly ended a three-week hiatus due to a high ankle sprain, finished 2 for 6 with 6 points. "I felt like the last three games, we had pretty good balance inside and out," Donovan said. "This was a game where they were doubling David. He's probably not going to get a high volume of shots. But when you look at this game, and David has only three shots our balance is not very good at all." Despite his meager offensive game, Lee, along with freshman Al Horford, pulled down 13 rebounds, highlighting UF's 42-30 advantage on the boards. Led by Lee and Horford, the Gators limited the Volunteers to 4 second-chance points for the UF guard Anthony Roberson scored 26 points Wednesday, including an overtime-forcing 3-pointer. game, all of which came in the breaks. first half.

Hold off the SEC long enough Pfor Matt /Valsh's return, and UF would make a posteason push. Who knew Walsh's return would result in loss? Okay, so it wasn't Walsh's fault. But fans xpect a win in the O'Dome against Tennessee, specially with Walsh able to play. The Gators tarted off hot after a sub-par non-conference eason but gave this one up. Fans, get used to it. Fj every step forward, the Gators will find a way to disappoint. For every clutch shot to force overtime, there's a woeful chuck to seal a loss. Get used to it. On the other hand, Gregg Girvan let's not write the death Throwing Girv Balls sentence for the Gators. ggirvan@amligator.org This space on Thursday will be the last place that will elevate a single regular-season game to make-or-break status. A loss here and there is not on the same planet as college football in its ramifications. It is wellchronicled that the Gators do a good job in the regular season and secure a manageable seed in the tourney. Once there, they re-enact the last few scenes in "Hamlet" (in case you slept through that stuff in high school, everybody dies from poisoning). The Gators will get over this loss the minute they hit the practice floor. And to think the Gators looked like they had righted the ship. A healthy pre-Walsh conference record was critical. Being 3-0 before Wednesday night was the best you could ask for. To be fair, Walsh played 13 minutes Wednesday, while the starters averaged 32.6. It's surprising he played at all. Even with Walsh's (understandable) miniSEE GIRV BALLS, PAGE 23 Walsh bounces back By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@aIligator.org It took Matt Walsh 21 days to come back from torn ligaments in his left ankle. It took the blink of an eye for Anthony Roberson to make everyone forget. The perfect script, right? Roberson hits the three-pointer that drains Tennessee and rekindles an overtime flame. In overtime, everyone waits for Roberson to continue his wizardry, almost expecting a game-winning shot. But if the Gators learned anything on the night they collapsed, it was that they cannot shoulder the bulk of the scoring on Roberson. "We need Matt," said Roberson, who scored 26 points on 26 shots. "We need everybody on our team contributing. I think Matt will Walsh get back in the groove and everything is going to be all rght." Walsh sprnmg off UP's bench less than five minutes into the game. He finished with 6 points in 13 minutes. "I felt good. I felt great," Walsh said. Walsh repeated this three times. But he wasn't even supposed to play -was he? When Walsh sprained his left ankle on Dec. 30, the team projected a 4-6 week recovery. But Wednesday night, Roberson said he had known for weeks that Walsh would return against Tennessee.
