STUDENT GOVERNMENT
FSA discusses block tuition, Bright Futures
By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Writer
bcarey@alligator.org
Student Government representatives from
across the state met Friday-to draw battle lines
in their fight against block tuition and other
potential student financial woes.
The Florida Student Association, the stu-
dent lobbying group for Florida's 11 public
universities, met in Boca Raton to focus on
ways of effectively crushing the block tuition
proposal, protecting the Florida Bright Futures
Scholarship and prepaid college programs and
also squash proposals encouraging students to
graduate sooner.
In addition to its financial focus, FSA will
be raising money for tsunami victims and
showcasing it to the key members of the leg-
islature Feb.16, the same day the association
will argue against the body's proposed tuition
changes.
The major target of Student Body President
Jamal Sowell's attack is fighting block tuition,
he said.
"Now, the student body already has
enough fees to pay," Sowell said.
FSA recently elected Sowell vice president.
Sowell was the sole member of the UF
Board of Trustees, the school's top governing
body, who voted against the block tuition
proposal. If the state legislature votes in favor
of block tuition, all under-
graduate public university
students will have to pay
for 15 credits regardless of
the number of credits they
are taking.
Under block tuition,
students would dish out 20
Sowell percent more per semester
to attend the university.
Although UF President Bernie Machen
proposed that block tuition should only af-
fect full-time students, the state could require
block tuition to affect even part-time students
attempting nine credits.
"Not all students come from the same
background and might not have the same
privileges," Sowell said.
Block tuition supporters say it will en-
courage students to sign up for more classes
to graduate faster. FSA members argue it is
already difficult for students to sign up for
the classes they need to graduate. Instead of
block tuition helping students graduate faster,
students will feel obligated to sign up for any
class since they are paying for itanyway.
Therefore, it wouldn't help students accelerate
on the track to graduation.

Eye on the Sky
Local artist Peter Carolin records the changing light Friday afternoon at Payne's Prairie. "It makes
it exciting," Carolin said of the challenge of watching the sky and quickly translating what he sees
onto his huge canvas. Carolin's style of painting, known as plein air, was characteristic of the 19th
century French impressionist painters who worked outside to capture the essence of light and their
environment.
UF taking stand
on alcohol abuse
By STEPHANIE GARRY and EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Staff Writers
In the late '70s, tobacco was everywhere.
Students could buy cigarettes from an on-campus bookstore.
Faculty and staff were able to smoke in their offices.
But UF officials put a stop to smoking and its references, and
now puffs of nicotine are prohibited even outside campus build-
ings.
Alcohol isn't nearly as prevalent on campus as tobacco once
was, but UF officials are working on a university policy that
could similarly eliminate any existing alcohol presence on cam-
pus --starting with an upcoming Stephen C. O'Connell Center
concert.
UP President Bernie Machen and Ed Poppell, vice president for
Finance and Administration, gave coun-
UF try band Rascal Flatts an ultimatum
Administration drop sponsor Coors Light or play
somewhere else.
"I don't think anyone's saying that alcohol is not accept-
able," Poppell said. "We're not talking about abstinence. We're
talking about the concern of binge drinking, drinking to get
drunk [and] operating a vehicle under the influence."
UF has sacrificed the $12,500 O'Connell Center nightly rent to
remove the Coors Light message from all concert materials and
promotions, down to the ticket stub.
Rascal Flatts agreed to do the deed without complaint, but
since they had to redo all advertisements, banners, on-stage props
and equipment, UF footed the rent bill.
"They had negotiated a nationwide sponsorship, so that's big
to eliminate it for one show," Poppell said. "They were very ac-
commodating to us; they understood how serious we were."
Though the policy is here to stay, Poppell said he doesn't
think it will hurt O'Connell Center business. Though Rascal
Flatts' contract had to be redrawn, future promoters will know
of the new policy before signing a contract.
a In his most hectic
recruiting weekend at
UF, Coach Urban Meyer
hosted more than
17 recruits, includ-
ing former Florida
State commit Dorian
Munroe. Meyer also
received an oral com-
mitment from a kicker.

Adopted son faces trial for murder of UF instructor
* JURY SELECTION IN THE CASE
SHOULD BEGIN TODAY.
By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org
Three years to the day a UF adjunct pro-
fessor was found bludgeoned to death in
her apartment, jury selection is scheduled to
begin today in the case of her adopted son,
who has been charged with her murder.
Police say that on Jan. 24, 2002, Tavares
Eugene Williams, 21, used a baseball bat to
strike his adoptive mother, Barbara Roth,
repeatedly in the head within her Covered
Bridge Apartments residence, 1810 NW 23rd
Blvd.
Although police reports state that
Williams, known to his friends and family
as "T.C.," eventually confessed to the crime,
the case has been plagued with questions of
the defendant's competence.
Unlike a finding of insanity, issues of
competence relate to a defendant's ability to
understand the case against him or her and
communicate effectively with his or her at-
torney, State Attorney Bill Cervone said.
However, Williams' mental-health issues
have been addressed, Cervone said, and the
prosecution is ready to proceed.
"We are confident that we have suffi-
cient evidence for a conviction in this case,"
Cervone said.
A Jan. 25, 2002 phone call from a con-
cerned co-worker at UF prompted Covered
Bridge management to enter Roth's resi-
dence. Her body was discovered on the
floor of the apartment with massive trauma
to her head and the side of her face. Police
also noticed Roth's car was missing.
Later in the afternoon, Williams drove
up in his mother's car, reportedly saying he
knew nothing of the incident and initially
denying any involvement.
-: When his story began to
Loc l show signs of inconsistency,
- COuI s Williams confessed, police
S say.
Roth, a former social
worker assigned to Williams' family when
he was a child, adopted Williams in 1998.
The pair moved to Gainesville, where he
attended Gainesville High School and she
pursued a doctoral degree at UF and taught
American government. Ultimately, Roth
developed the first online UF undergradu-
ate political science course.
Albert Matheny, UF's assistant dean for
Student Affairs and a professor within the
political science department, said he knew
Roth for approximately 10 years and that
his son and Williams used to play together
when they were young.
"I remember after hearing that Barb had
been killed, I said, 'Well, who's going to
watch T.C.?'" Matheny said. "So it was a
complete shocker to me that he would be
the one who would be accused of doing
it."
The UF political science department has
created a scholarship in Roth's name for
disadvantaged graduate or undergraduate
students, and anyone interested in contrib-
uting to the fund should contact the depart-
ment at 392-0262.
STUDENT LIFE
Towing companies
offer student rates
By ERIK HOFMEYER
Alligator Contributing Writer
Towing doesn't have to be a
surprise discovery after a night of
partying it can be a solution to
an otherwise risky ride home.
A handful of companies offer
to tow students and their vehicles
for a special rate ranging from
$20 to $30, depending on the
company.
Normally, companies charge
between $50 and $60 to tow a
vehicle in Gainesville. The special
rate goes for impaired UF and
SFCC students.
Watson's Towing, Freedom
Carrier Service and Superior
Towing LLC, are some of the com-
panies offering the discount.
"We're trying to put a good
name back to towing," said David
Idleman, owner of Superior
Towing.
Watson's Towing has offered
this service for a little more than
a year and has signs in some bars
downtown.
"We offer this service because
this is a college town, and it's
something that we can relate to,"
said Chris Chandler, a Watson's
Towing dispatcher.
"We're trying to put a good
name back to towing."
David Idleman
Owner of Superior Towing
Thursday and Saturday nights
are the busy nights, Chandler
said.
"We began this service around
the first of this year to help stu-
dents get home safely and to help
keep impaired students off of the
road," said Craig Cauthen, owner.
of Freedom Carrier Service.
For the discount, students need
only present their Gator 1 Card or
SFCC identification when the tow
truck arrives.
Pancakes anyone?

Habitat for Humanity fulfills Christmas house wish
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
A Gainesville resident's Christmas wish
was fulfilled when Habitat for Humanity
presented her with a new, affordable home
Saturday.
Pamela Williams and her three sons re-
ceived the keys to their home during a 9 a.m.
dedication ceremony at Celebration Oaks in
southeast Gainesville.
Several students from UP organizations
spent their Saturday mornings helping build
this and several other homes for Habitat for
Humanity. Participating groups that attended
the ceremony included Florida Alternative
Breaks, the Crossroads Christian Student
Fellowship and the Southern Scholarship
Foundation.
Mechanical engineering senior Shafiq
Zainol said he saw the project as a way to
pass on the favor of low-income housing
he receives as a member of the Southern
Scholarship Foundation.
"We get.provided housing and, in a way,
we are trying to return that favor to the
community," he said. "It's kind of the same
position these people are in. That's one of the
reasons why I do it."
Vam York, a former UF president and a
"We get provided housing and, in
a way, we are trying to return that
favor to the community. It's kind
of the same position these people
are in. That's one of the reasons
why I do it."
Shafiq Zainol
UF mechanical engineering senior
former chancellor of Florida's state university
system, helped sponsor the house. In addition
to UF students, Kiwanis Club of Gainesville-
and several high school Key Clubs helped
build the house.
Williams' family is the sixth to move to
Celebration Oaks since January 2004, with
four more houses under construction. Habitat
for Humanity hopes eventually to bring 60
families to the community.
Directly next to the Williams' home, UF
students were working on the four additions.
The unfinished houses were filled with stu-
dents shoveling dirt and nailing boards.
"Having your own house is a dream,"
said Michelle Peng, a fourth-year finance
major. "We get to help people accomplish that
dream."
PUBLIC SAFETY
Laptop plays musical chairs
A UF student hoping to get
back his stolen laptop comput-
er found himself on the other
end of the law early Friday
morning.
Jason Sutton, 3555 SW 20th
Ave., went downtown to :
08 Thursday night, where he
met Corey R. Church, 411.7
SW 20th Ave., and fellow UF
student Benjamin J. Bryant,
3901 SW 20th Ave. The trio later
went to Sutton's residence to
smoke marijuana, said Alachua
County Sheriff's Office spokes-
man Sgt. Steve Maynard.
After about 20 minutes,
Bryant, 19, and Church, 21,
left the residence with Sutton's
$2,300 laptop in tow.
A call to ASO dispatched
officers to Bryant's residence,
where officers saw Sutton's
computer from the window.
"The defendants said that
they were just trying to play
a joke on the victim, yet they
didn't know his name, they
didn't know who he was,"
Maynard said.
Bryant and Church were
charged with grand theft.
Sutton faces charges of posses-
sion of drug paraphernalia.
Man arrested for after-
hour booze boost
Angered over his inabil-
ity to buy alcohol after hours,
a Gainesville man reportedly
walked off with his intended
purchase Saturday morning.
Ten minutes after the 2 a.m..
curfew for liquor purchases,
Jeremy J. Easton, of 636 NW
26th Ave., attempted to pur-
chase two bottles of Corona and
one bottle of Heineken from the
Kangaroo convenience store
at 1255 W University Ave.
However, after Melissa Marie
McCloy, a Kangaroo employee,
refused to sell it to him, Easton
left the store with the bottles of
beer in hand.
Shortly afterward, a
Gainesville Police officer inter-
rupted Easton as he was urinat-
ing in the well-lit parking lot
of Leonardo's Pizza, located
next door to the convenience
store, in full view of traffic on
University Avenue. Easton had
one of the bottles of Corona,
which was open, with him,
police reports state.
Easton then was relieved of
the rest of the stolen items and
escorted to a waiting patrol car.
Charges against him include
theft, resisting arrest without
violence and public urination.
The beer cost $10.80.

Events spotlight Haiti
By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org
Students danced, played
keyboard and recited jokes and
poetry Saturday in a pageant that
capped off a week dedicated to
raising awareness about Haitian
culture.
Club Creole's "106th and Park:
Live in Hait pageant was one of
several events during Club Creole
Week aimed at educating students
and dispelling stereotypes.
"Though we're a different cul-
ture, we're still the same people, all.
in all," said pageant co-director Elsie
LaGuerre;
She said the group had accom-
plished its goals during the week's
events, which included a pool
tournament, a formal gala and a
"Jeopardy!"-style game that tested
competitors' knowledge of Haitian
trivia.
The week ended Sunday with
church services and a picnic.
"Certainly, in all our events, it
wasn't just us there," LaGuerre said,
noting she was glad the organiza-
tion had reached others.
More than 85 people, includ-
ing students from FSU, Bethune-
Cookman College and FAU, at-
tended the pageant in the Shands
Auditorium.
Stephanie Dorestant and Andy
Luc were crowned Mr. and Ms.
Club Creole.
They will go on to compete in
the Volunteers for International
Student Affairs pageant, LaGuerre
said. VISA also
Multicultural cosponsored
Aftairs several of Club
Creole's events
last week.
To win the crowns, the six con-
testants competed in several cat-
egories, showing off casual, busi-
ness and formal attire, answering
questions and contending in a
talent portion.
SStudent-produced videos and a
performance by Club Creole's dance
team kept the lively audience enter-
tained between segments.
LaGuerre said that once the
technical problems in the beginning
of the show were sorted out, every-
thing ran smoothly.
"We all came together and made
it a great success," she said.

Bush must A
clean after V ewp
his messes
M y government teacher in high
school made an interesting
prediction that has stuck with
me. He said whichever party won the
presidential election in 2004 would '
not win in 2008 because the country is
such an utter mess that nobody could :.
come out of this term looking good.
There's no denying it: America is in an ..
economic slump, mired in two wars in :,
the Middle East and facing the largest
federal deficit in history. Some argue
President Bush needs to finish the job
he started, but the onus for this mess
lies squarely on his shoulders.
The federal deficit needs to be
reduced, and Bush's plan to cut the
deficit in half in five years has been
termed an "anemic goal," by Stephen
Moore, former president of The Club- *
for Growth a conservative group.
The federal deficit in 2004 topped
$413 billion, more than 3 percent of
our nation's gross domestic product.
Bush wants to extend and expand his
tax cuts and revise the current alter-
nate minimum tax. The Congressional

Fast action
Bush must leave time for
discussion of key issues
L ove him or hate him, President Bush has built a reputa-
tion for swift and decisive action. Regardless of'personal
views concerning the merit of these actions, he has shown
he will not hesitate to use all available force and speed to ac-
complish his goals.
However, this trend is beginning to look dangerous as pre-
dictions for the term he began Thursday take shape.
Intending to usher in an era of change for the better, Bush
has proposed drastic measures to address issues in immigra-
tion and Social Security. These issues, however, are not pressing
enough to require such hasty action especially considering
effectiveness in dealing with the problems likely would be sacri-
fled for immediacy.
To be sure, Social Security must be fixed before it collapses
under its own weight in 50 years.
But the program could stand to run as it does now for de-
cades, so the government can easily afford to set aside at least a
year for research, debate and the search for a solution that will
provide the needed changes without exposing future retirees'
benefits to the uncertainty inherent in privatization.
Similarly, finding a solution to problems stemming from ille-
gal immigration is equally important and equally capable of
being postponed until further research and debate can be done.
A system of providing work visas could help regulate ac-
ceptance of immigrants, but the proposed plan would cause
further bureaucratic nightmares while having little real effect
on the influx of illegal immigrants.
As the leader of the country, Bush must be able to set aside
his wishes for seeing the end of these problems occur during his
presidency in favor of having them solved in whichever ways
will be best in the long run.
In addition to blocking the path for better solutions, the
rush to finalize responses to these issues has obscured issues in
dire need of attention. In a glaring example, perhaps the most
important issue for the future of America has been severely ne-
glected: education.
Unlike Social Security and illegal immigration, the U.S. edu-
cational system is in a time of crisis. Public schools and universi-
ties do not have the funds necessary to revive them from their
constantly-deteriorating state, and there is no plan currently in
motion to address this concern.
SMore than the expansion of democracy, more than an end
to terrorist threats and more than essentially anything else, the
improvement of our educational system should be the goal of
Bush's next four years in office.
Quality of education impacts every other aspect of life in the
country. Better-educated students make and spend more money,
participate more fully in the political process and otherwise are
better equipped to be active members of society. Furthermore,
America's continued flagging in education compared to other
nations casts doubts on whether it will be able to compete in
fields such as technology and science in the future.
Fixing these problems would be relatively simple if proper
funding were provided: increased salaries would lead to an in-
crease in the number of teachers and in their qualifications; ad-
ditional funding not decreased funding, as under the current
"grading" system would allow failing schools to improve;
and more money given directly to the public education system
would allow more schools to be built and existing schools to be
expanded, which would reduce the problem of overcrowding.
All of these things would produce results that would have
lasting benefits that are impossible to put a price on.
While billions of dollars are being spent on issues that seem
to be relevant today, the importance of providing for the future
is being forgotten.

Guest cclmpl?
Emperor Bush had gaudy coronation
don't be fooled. President Bush was not inaugu-
rated he was crowned. And Bush, for his part,
is acting like the holy Roman emperors and con-
querors of medieval times.
Those emperors were -deemed by the pope as cho-
sen by God to protect the Christian church. They were
responsible for the souls of their subjects and the souls
of the "barbarians" who lived outside the empire's ter-
ritory. Therefore, it was divine will that the emperor
should conquer as much territory as he could in order to
spread Christianity.
Likewise, Bush, to many, is the defender of moral
values. By decree, there will be no gay marriage in his
kingdom and, maybe soon, no abortion.
The Bush coronation culminated with an hour-long
church service in, tellingly, a Gothic cathedral. Evangelist
Billy Graham said he believed God orchestrated Bush's
re-election.
Essentially, it seems, Bush is the American president
by divine right.
"Their next four years are hidden from us, but they
are not hidden from you," Graham said. "You know the
challenges and opportunities they will face. Give them
a clear mind, a warm heart, calmness in the midst of tur-
moil, reassurance in times of discouragement and your
presence always."
That's a pretty heavy load for any leader, but Bush
took his responsibilities even further with his inaugural
address. Rather than merely bringing Christianity into
every savage land on Earth like the emperors of old, he
said "it is the policy of the United States to seek and sup-
port the growth of democratic movements and institu-
tions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal
of ending tyranny in our world."
So instead of spreading Christianity by the sword,
Bush is determined to spread liberty by the bomb.
Although these ends are different, Bush used religious
imagery to clarify his vision.
"Liberty does not mean independence from one an-
other," he said in his address. "Our nation relies on men
and women who look after a neighbor and surround, the
lost with love.
In truly religious tradition,
.3. .he couples "love your neighbor"
t. _. : speech with "fire and brimstone"
threats. He likens freedom to an
"untamed fire" that will burn all
Jason Levitt those who resist it.
The Watch Tower Another similarity is the hy-
pocrisy of the supposedly humble
letters@aligator.org and devout Christian leader en-
joying the pomp of royal court,
much like when the holy Roman emperors would wear
jeweled shoes and a crown of gems and gold while visi-
tors kissed their feet. Visitors didn't have to kiss Bush's
feet to win favor and access to the royal court, but they
did have to spend ungodly amounts of money.
Diana Olick and Rob Reynolds of CNBC reported
ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum and
Southern Company paid tribute by "donating" $250,000
each. These companies hope Bush will throw them a
bone in the form of energy subsidy legislation.
You've recently been hearing a lot about privatizing
Social Security, right? It just so happens the corporate
beneficiaries of this policy, the financial services firms,
together contributed $375,000 to the inauguration.
It is hard not to feel like a lowly serf when I only can
watch while the real American royalty, the corporate
elite, arrive in Washington in private jets and saunter
around in their designer clothes, tipping back cocktails
and smoking victory cigars. But whose victory were they
celebrating Bush's, America's, the Iraqi people's or
their own?
If it is liberty and freedom for which common
Americans are giving their sons, daughters and taxes, we
should not have to have our noses rubbed in such a vul-
gar display of power. It only gives everyone friends,
enemies and ourselves reason to believe that it is not
freedom Bush wants to export, but corporate domina-
tion.

Bush's plans sound promising, but his intent is uncertain
W hen George W. Bush first ran for
president, he decried "nation build-
ing" as futile. But in Thursday's
inaugural speech, he pledged to make nation
building a hallmark of his second term.
If President Bush's first four years are any
guide, presidents don't always get to choose
their priorities; some have priorities thrust
upon them. Although only time will tell where
Bush leads the country, his speech laid out
where he'd like to go. He spoke of spreading
"the fire of freedom" to the oppressed abroad,
though whether he intends to do so via an
outpouring of foreign aid or an outpouring of
bombs remains to be seen. The next headlines
involving Iran or North Korea should clue us
in, though whether he intends to forge ahead
unilaterally or with the support of our allies
Letters to the Editor
Validity of chiropractics is not the issue
Editor: Publications such as yours should
stop lumping the credibility of the chiropractic
profession in with the political and financial
issues related to the proposed addition of
a chiropractic school at FSU. Thursday's
editorial states "the scientific community, as
a whole, vehemently opposes the inclusion of
chiropractics as a legitimate healing art" with-
out clarifying who constitutes this "scientific
community."
SMy assumption is that your information
solely has come from medical professionals
and associations who have a long history of
attempting to suppress chiropractics. In 1987;
a U.S. District Court found the American
Medical Association and its co-conspirators
guilty of trying to destroy the chiropractic pro-
fession. Further investigation into chiroprac-
tics' legitimacy revealed a body of research
conducted by The National Institutes of Health
and other organizations that demonstrate the
also remains to be seen. February's State of th6
Union address 'and meetings with European
Union leaders will shed light on his intent.
Bush said our moral values are built upon
the "varied faiths of our people." I, like Bush,
attend a Methodist church, but I would like to
see greater sensitivity toward those who don't
share our religion. However, our personal faith
can and should inform our political beliefs.
But those beliefs don't and can't apply only in
a religious sense. Hunger, illiteracy, lack of ac-
cess to medical care, irresponsive politics and
oppression lead to civil instability, which is a
national security threat to America.,
A few days before Bush's inauguration, the
United Nations unveiled a plan to slash global
poverty: If the world's richest donor countries
increase their aid to 0.5 percent of their gross
health benefits of chiropractics. Multiple stud-
ies have shown chiropractic care to be safer,
less expensive and as or more effective, than
pharmaceuticals and surgery. As a legitimate
and popular therapeutic option for millions
of people, grouping chiropractics with "Crop
Circle Simiulation" and "Bigfoot Institute"
as portrayed in the cartoon distributed by
FSU faculty and published in your paper last
week is irresponsible and unjustifiable. The
chiropractic profession has fought this kind of
ignorance since the 1800s.
Private chiropractic degree programs abide
by rigid educational standards and board
certification on both national and state levels.
Whether or not to add a chiropractic school to
a publicly funded institution such as.FSU is the
issue, and attempts to debunk an established,
standardized and proven effective profession
should not be part of the conversation.

this is a rare opportunity to think big

by meeting the United Nations' goal?
But if we forgive Bush's flip-flop on nation
building and America's role in the world, the
goals he laid out are impressive. He could
content himself to reforming Social Security,
simplifying the tax code and trimming the
bureaucracy. He could focus on cleaning up
the mess in Afghanistan and Iraq, promot-
ing peace between Israel and Palestine and
rebuilding tsunami-ravaged areas.
Those would be laudable goals and fondly
looked upon by history if done right, but
Bush's ambition is larger than that. Whether
that reflects a grand vision of leadership or
monumental hubris remains to be seen.

King of late night dies at 79
* THE "TONIGHT SHOW" HOST LEFT AN
INDELIBLE MARK ON COMEDY.
By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nhughes@alligator.org
Johnny Carson, one of the most influential and
beloved entertainers in American history, died
Sunday morning after a long battle with emphy-
sema. He was 79.
Carson hosted NBC's "The Tonight Show" for
nearly 30 years and became a staple of American
television before retiring May 22, 1992.
While the entertainer kept out of the public eye in
his retirement, news surfaced last week that Carson
still provided "Late Show" host David Letterman
with material on an occasional basis.
Eddie Geller, president of Theatre Strike Force,
a UF improvisational comedy group, said people
loved Carson because he was a mainstay who was
exceptional at his job.
"During his time at 'The Tonight Show,' the com-
edy he did was really original and was something
that was very entertaining," Geller said.
Some felt the void left in late night television
was never filled after Carson's retirement. Even
Letterman, whose show borrows its formatting
from Carson, said all late-night successors are just
"pretenders."
Ed McMahon, the sidekick and straight man on
"The Tonight Show," was best known for introduc-
ing Carson into people's homes nightly with a cry of
"Heeeeere's Johnny!"
McMahon said Sunday that Carson was "like a-
brother to me."
"Our 34. years of working together, plus the 12
years since then, created a friendship which was
professional, family-like and one of respect and
great admiration," McMahon said in a statement.
"When we ended our run on 'The Tonight Show'
and my professional life continued, whenever a big
career decision needed to be made, I always got the
OK from 'The Boss."'
Josh Breit, a Theatre Strike Force member, said
Carson is deserving of the praise he gets because he
was ahead of his time.
"I don't know if anyone will surpass him because
he was the first," Breit said. "He was the pinnacle."
Nearly all of Carson's professional life was spent
in television, from his postwar start at Nebraska sta-
tions in the late 1940s to his three decades with "The
Tonight Show."
Carson chose to let "Tonight" stand as his career
zenith and his finale, withdrawing into a quiet re-
tirement that suited his private nature and refusing
involvement in other show-business projects.
In 1993, he explained his. absence
Special from the limelight.
-" :' I have an ego like anybody else,"
Carson told The Washington Post, "but
I don't need to be stoked by going before the public
all the time."
Through it all, Carson simply refused to be
wooed back onto the stage.
"I just let the work speak for itself," he told
Esquire inagazine in 2002.
While he said he feels no one will be more loved
than Carson, Breit said he thinks "Late Night" host
Conan O'Brien will be well-respected.
"I think Conan is very, very funny," Breit said. "I
think he has a good shot [to be remembered], espe-
cially since he started out so young."
Though he didn't grow up with Carson on the
air, Geller said he felt the effect Carson had on him
was undeniable.
"His comedy influenced people who influenced
me," Geller said. "People like Conan O'Brien and
shows like 'The Simpsons' or 'Saturday Night
Live.'"

Program teaches self defense /
Women learn moves
from UPD instructor
By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org
Twenty Gainesville women spent 12 hours in a
University Police-sponsored class this weekend learn-
ing how to defend themselves in a possible sexual
assault.
In the early morning hours of Saturday, the all-
ages group of women got a chance to socialize among
themselves over orange juice, coffee and danishes,
which created a comfortable atmosphere for everyone
to share personal experiences and goals for the class.
Sgt. Walt Hamby instructed the women follow-
ing materials provided by Rape Aggression Defense
Systems a comprehensive women-only program
consisting of realistic self-defense tactics and tech-
niques.
Hamby began his training for teaching the course
in 1999 and taught his first group of women in 2000.
He said the class has been rewarding for him as he
maintains an entertaining .prefaced lecture outlining
avoidance and prevention, but if necessary compli-
ance as well, with a mental and physical martial-arts
defense training course.
Hamby said he always walks away impressed with
the women and pleased with the results -.especially
when the class gets physical.
"I love it," Hamby said. "I love it when they hit me
... and it hurts."
The women equipped with kneepads, elbow
pads, gloves and a helmet during the physical-training
session practice defensive moves on Hamby and
his cohort, UPD officer and RAD coordinator Darren
Sanders, both of whom are dressed in full body suits.
To Hamby, the suit is an imitation Michelin Man.
"The pads do a very effective job," Hamby smiled.

"However, there are gaps."
Hamby said the goal is to simulate the most real-
istic situations, so he commonly asks the women to
envision a frightening scenario, such as being alone at
night at an automated teller machine.
Additionally, the women are encouraged not to
practice quietly.
If the officers felt their yells of, 'No!' 'Get
Away!' and 'Stop!' were not bold enough, they
practiced until the room reverberated with
strength and defense, cheered on by personal
instructors who walk through the room to help
women perfect their stance and appearance.
Hamby said last semester his agency held
about 11 courses, and the teams have increased to
about 10 instructors.
"We have really made a commitment," he
said.
UF junior Lindsay Leroy said she
On learned about the class at Preview,
S .UF's orientation program for incom-
ing students, before her freshman
year and has wanted to do it ever since. But due
to factors including her busy schedule, she has
waited until Saturday to finally do so.
Leroy said she felt the class was very informa-
tive, especially about the services police offer.
"It made me more aware there is other help
out there," Leroy said. "I didn't know that was
out there."
She said in the future, she will be apt to keep
her head up and observe her surroundings.
"The 12 hours here could save my own life,"
Leroy said. "It is well worth it."
.Hamby said the most important thing he wants
women to walk away with is a strong sense of
awareness.
"It is the single most important aspect of avoid-
ance," Hamby said.
Information about the class and future sched-
uled sessions is available by contacting Darren
Sanders at 392-1409.

be to play top-10 teams on the road,"

RECRUITING, from page 20
"Overall, my visit was top notch, and I can't
wait to be a Florida Gator," Munroe said.
In addition to Munroe, UF added receiver
David Nelson to its growing stable of wide re-
ceivers. Nelson, a 6-foot-6, 196-pound receiver
from Texas, chose UF instead of Texas, Notre
Dame and Iowa. A trip to Ben Hill Griffin
Stadium sealed the deal for Nelson, who was
amazed at the experience of running out of the
tunnel, a must for visiting recruits, he said.
Ryan Stamper, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound line-
backer from First Coast High in Jacksonville,
also pledged his commitment to UF Sunday.
Stamper, who de-committed from Auburn,
will shore up a Gators linebacking corps that
features only four players on scholarship.
With kickers Matt Leach and Matt
Piotrowicz graduating, the Gators were able to
land Jonathan Phillips. Phillips, who was com-
mitted to Purdue, finished his career at 18-21
inside of 45 yards. More than 90 percent of his
kickoffs were not returned.
While UF landed a big haul following the
weekend, not everything went as planned.
Current freshman Brandon Daniel and recruit
Jeff Owens went on a trip to Lake Wauburg.
The two defensive tackles, weighing more than
275 pounds each, made a huge splash.
"I was in there with [Daniel] and [the ca-
noe] just tipped over," said Owens, the No. 13
defensive tackle in the nation. "Everyone was
yelling there was an alligator close to us and
we had to swim back to shore a little faster."
Owens, a Georgia commitment, will visit
FSU Jan. 28 before making his final decision.
He didn't say if the canoeing experience will
weigh into his decision.
"Coach Meyer is a great guy and he
definitely gave me a lot to think about before
I make my decision on signing day," Owens
said.
Receiver Eric Sledge also committed to UE
Oral commitments are non-binding until a
national-letter-of-intent is signed on National
Signing Day on Feb. 2.

Gators defeat No. 19 Nebraska, set season highs
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org
It was foggy outside the O'Connell Center
on Friday night, but what transpired inside
was clear to see.
In what was easily its best performance of
the season, the No. 10 UF gymnastics team de-
feated No. 19 Nebraska 196.95 to 196.675.
"I thought that we did a tremendous job
staying focused," Coach Rhonda Faehn said.
"That was our goal coming into this meet, to
be consistent and hit our routines and correct
the mistakes of the previous two meets."
UF would only trail after the first rotation,
scoring a 49 on vault while Nebraska scored a
49.25. Vault was also the only event in which
UF did not have an individual winner.
Sophomore Samantha Lutz shared indi-
vidual titles on both bars and floor exercise.
"One of the reasons we put her in the floor
lineup is because she's such a performer,"
Faehn said. "It's obvious when she's out there
that she loves what she's doing, the judges
love it and the crowd loves it."
The floor exercise victory came in her first
appearance on the apparatus this season, -
As the last balance-beam performer, she
had to nail her routine so that UF was not
forced to count an earlier fall.
"The. last thing you want to think is 'oh
no,'" Lutz said. "When you have a mistake,
you rely on the hard work that-you put in
during practice, that you know you can do it
regardless of the situation."
.Lutz's personal-best score of 9.9 on bars
was part of UF's resurgence in a skill that
"We knew that it was going to be a
learning process. Tonight we did
an excellent job."
Rhonda Faehn
Gymnastics head coach
plagued the team inthe first two meets.
Friday, the Gators not only avoided having
to count a fall, but their score of 49.35 on bars
was their second highest of the night.
"We knew from the start that it was never
going to be a weakness," Faehn said. "What
happens when you almost have a brand-new
team is that you're going to have issues find-
ing out who is going to be most prepared or
most consistent.
"We knew that it was going to be a learning
process. Tonight we did an excellent jal."
Despite her worst all-around performance
of the season, Breanne King took the beam
crown with a personal-best score of 9.95.
"We've been working real hard on beam,"
King said. "Everyone has been more and more
consistent and I think it shows."
In just her second career all-around appear-
ance, Katie Rue finished second with a 89.35.
She was bested by. Nebraska's Richelle
Simpson, the 2003 NCAA all-around cham-
pion.
Rue's score was UF's highest of the season.
"We have the same expectations of every
athlete that we put up there regardless of
whether they're a freshman or a senior," Lutz
said. "We have confidence in them, and we
expect them to do what they're capable of
doing."
UF rallies run out against Ole Miss

Just when it seemed the UF women's bas-
ketball team would notch another come-back
win, everything fell apart.
Making up a 19-point deficit early in the
second half, the Gators could not hang on,
losing to Mississippi 82-70.
On an afternoon when UF (12-6, 3-2
Southeastern Conference) could have won
the its 500th game, the coach with the most
wins in team history sat on the other bench.
Carol Ross spent 12 years at UF, winning
247 games for the Gators. After resigning
following the 2001-02 season, Ross joined
Mississippi (13-5,3-2 SEC) last season.
Ross recruited many of UF's current
players, but only two played for her se-
niors Tishona Gregory and Tamia Williams.
Despite this, Ross wanted to make sure the
Rebels did not worry about her past.
"I told them 'don't get caught up in the
Gator thing,'" Ross said. "Because I created
that chaos, and they didn't need to wear that
burden. I thought the\ responded well."

Assuming the whole sophomore'

UF will be fine. By signing a smaller

when Meyer and his staff will have
the necessary relationships to put
together a top-10 class.

UF steals safety recruit from FSU
By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Writer
eesteban@alligator.org
For the second time in two
months, UF defeated Florida State
- this time it was a fierce compe-
tition for one of the nation's top
safeties.
After committing to FSU ear-
lier in the recruiting season, Dorian
Munroe of Miami's Coral Reef
High visited UF this weekend and
couldn't pass up on a chance to play
for Urban Meyer and the Gators.
"I called the coaches at Florida
State, de-committed, and told them I
was going to Florida," said Munroe,
rated as the nation's No. 11 safety by
Scout.com. "The atmosphere is what
sold me, and I see us playing for a
national championship in my time
there."
UF played host to more than 17
recruits this weekend and ended up
with five oral commitments.
Munroe was hosted by freshman
Kyle Jackson and immediately hit it
off with one of UF's top freshman
players from 2004.
"Kyle is one cool guy who played
early and told me how it is up
there," Munroe said. "Gainesville is
definitely where I want to be and
Coach Meyer is a huge reason for
my change of heart."
The addition of Munroe to UF's
list of commitments gives the Gators
the No. 11 safety and the No. 3 de-
fensive back Avery Atkins, who will
make his official visit to Gainesville
Jan. 28.

STAFF REPORT
With. Mike Locksley's departure and UF's
2005 recruiting season in jeopardy, Coach Urban
Meyer had fo act quickly.
A little more than a week after Locksley took
the offensive coordinator job at Illinois with
Ron Zook, Meyei announced the hiring of Stan
Drayton as running backs coach on Friday.
Drayton, who comes to Gainesville after serv-
ing in the same capacity at Mississippi State in
2004, has spent nine years working with running
backs at the collegiate level.
Drayton has also coached in the NFL for three
seasons.
"We were looking for a coach who had
extensive experience coaching running backs
with a proven track record,"
Meyer said. "We were looking
for an outstanding recruiter,
a great teacher of the game
and someone who understood
the philosophy of our football
program.
"Coach Drayton is all of
Drayton that and more. We are excited
to have him and his wife join
our Gator family."
Drayton, 33, went to MSU from the Green
Bay Packers, where he spent the previous three
seasons as the organization's offensive quality
control and assistant special teams coach.
Before coaching on the pro level, Drayton
was the running backs coach for five months
at Bowling Green (Ohio) State University. He
earlier served as an assistant coach at Villanova
from 1996-2000, including its Division I-AA
national championship season in 1997. In 1999,
Drayton was nominated for the American
Football Coaches' Association Assistant Coach of
the Year Award.
Drayton has been instrumental in the devel-
opment of standout running backs, including
two-time All-American and Super Bowl-bound
Philadelphia Eagle Brian Westbrook. As a
sophomore at Villanova in 1998, Westbrook
became the first player on any collegiate level
to record more than 1,000 yards rushing and
1,000 receiving yards in the same season. This
past season, Drayton tutored Mississippi State's
"Jerious Norwood, who rushed for 1,050 yards
on 195 carries to finish third in the Southeastern
Conference with 95.5 yards per game.
"I'm proud to be a part of the Florida foot-
ball program," Drayton said. "I was fortunate
to be around Coach Meyer when he began his
head coaching career at Bowling Green, and I'm
thrilled to be reunited with him in Gainesville."
UF men's golf coach Buddy Alexander
was selected to coach the U.S. team in
the 2005 Palmer Cup by the Golf Coaches
Association of America. The Palmer Cup is
considered the Ryder Cup of college.

the independent florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 STUDENT GOVERNMENT FSA discusses block tuition, Bright Futures By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Writer bcarey@alligator.org Student Government representatives from across the state met Friday-to draw battle lines in their fight against block tuition and other potential student financial woes. The Florida Student Association, the student lobbying group for Florida's 11 public universities, met in Boca Raton to focus on ways of effectively crushing the block tuition proposal, protecting the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship and prepaid college programs and also squash proposals encouraging students to graduate sooner. In addition to its financial focus, FSA will be raising money for tsunami victims and showcasing it to the key members of the legislature Feb.16, the same day the association will argue against the body's proposed tuition changes. The major target of Student Body President Jamal Sowell's attack is fighting block tuition, he said. "Now, the student body already has enough fees to pay," Sowell said. FSA recently elected Sowell vice president. Sowell was the sole member of the UF Board of Trustees, the school's top governing body, who voted against the block tuition proposal. If the state legislature votes in favor of block tuition, all undergraduate public university students will have to pay for 15 credits regardless of the number of credits they are taking. Under block tuition, students would dish out 20 Sowel percent more per semester to attend the university. Although UF President Bernie Machen proposed that block tuition should only affect full-time students, the state could require block tuition to affect even part-time students attempting nine credits. "Not all students come from the same background and might not have the same privileges," Sowell said. Block tuition supporters say it will encourage students to sign up for more classes to graduate faster. FSA members argue it is already difficult for students to sign up for the classes they need to graduate. Instead of block tuition helping students graduate faster, students will feel obligated to sign up for any class since they are paying for it. anyway. Therefore, it wouldn't help students accelerate on the track to graduation. UF taking stand on alcohol abuse By STEPHANIE GARRY and EMILYYEHLE Alligator Staff Writers In the late '70s, tobacco was everywhere. Students could buy cigarettes from an on-campus bookstore. Faculty and staff were able to smoke in their offices. But UF officials put a stop to smoking and its references, and now puffs of nicotine are prohibited even outside campus buildings. Alcohol isn't nearly as prevalent on campus as tobacco once was, but UF officials are working on a university policy that could similarly eliminate any existing alcohol presence on campus -starting with an upcoming Stephen C. O'Connell Center concert. UF President Bernie Machen and Ed Poppell, vice president for Finance and Administration, gave counUF try band Rascal Flatts an ultimatum Administration -drop sponsor Coors Light or play somewhere else. "I don't think anyone's saying that alcohol is not acceptable," Poppell said. "We're not talking about abstinence. We're talking about the concern of binge drinking, drinking to get drunk [and] operating a vehicle under the influence." UF has sacrificed the $12,500 O'Connell Center nightly rent to remove the Coors Light message from all concert materials and promotions, down to the ticket stub. Rascal Flatts agreed to do the deed without complaint, but since they had to redo all advertisements, banners, on-stage props and equipment, UF footed the rent bill. "They had negotiated a nationwide sponsorship, so that's big to eliminate it for one show," Poppell said. "They were very accommodating to us; they understood how serious we were." Though the policy is here to stay, Poppell said he doesn't think it will hurt O'Conmell Center business. Though Rascal Flatts' contract had to be redrawn, future promoters will know of the new policy before signing a contract. E In his most hectic recruiting weekend at UF, Coach Urban Meyer hosted more than 17 recruits, including former Florida State commit Dorian Munroe. Meyer also received an oral commitment from a kicker. See story, pg. 20.

MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 Adopted son faces trial for murder of UF instructor E JURY SELECTION IN THE CASE SHOULD BEGIN TODAY. By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinsloweaigator.org Three years to the day a UF adjunct professor was found bludgeoned to death in her apartment, jury selection is scheduled to begin today in the case of her adopted son, who has been charged with her murder. Police say that on Jan. 24, 2002, Tavares Eugene Williams, 21, used a baseball bat to strike his adoptive mother, Barbara Roth, repeatedly in the head within her Covered Bridge Apartments residence, 1810 NW 23rd Blvd. Although police reports state that Williams, known to his friends and family as "T.C.," eventually confessed to the crime, the case has been plagued with questions of the defendant's competence. Unlike a finding of insanity, issues of competence relate to a defendant's ability to understand the case against him or her and communicate effectively with his or her attorney, State Attorney Bill Cervone said. However, Williams' mental-health issues have been addressed, Cervone said, and the prosecution is ready to proceed. "We are confident that we have sufficient evidence for a conviction in this case," Cervone said. A Jan. 25, 2002 phone call from a concerned co-worker at UF prompted Covered Bridge management to enter Roth's residence. Her body was discovered on the floor of the apartment with massive trauma to her head and the side of her face. Police also noticed Roth's car was missing. Later in the afternoon, Williams drove up in his mother's car, reportedly saying he knew nothing of the incident and initially denying any involvement. When his story began to -Loc I show signs of inconsistency, wu Williams confessed, police say. Roth, a former social worker assigned to Williams' family when he was a child, adopted Williams in 1998. The pair moved to Gainesville, where he attended Gainesville High School and she pursued a doctoral degree at UF and taught American government. Ultimately, Roth developed the first online UF undergraduate political science course. Albert Matheny, UF's assistant dean for Student Affairs and a professor within the political science department, said he knew Roth for approximately 10 years and that his son and Williams used to play together when they were young. "I remember after hearing that Barb had been killed, I said, 'Well, who's going to watch T.C.?"' Matheny said. "So it was a complete shocker to me that he would be the one who would be accused of doing it." The UF political science department has created a scholarship in Roth's name for disadvantaged graduate or undergraduate students, and anyone interested in contributing to the fund should contact the department at 392-0262. STUDENT LIFE Towing companies offer student rates By ERIK HOFMEYER Alligator Contributing Writer Towing doesn't have to be a surprise discovery after a night of partying -it can be a solution to an otherwise risky ride home. A handful of companies offer to tow students and their vehicles for a special rate ranging from $20 to $30, depending on the company. Normally, companies charge between $50 and $60 to tow a vehicle in Gainesville. The special rate goes for impaired UF and SFCC students. Watson's Towing, Freedom Carrier Service and Superior Towing LLC, are some of the companies offering the discount. "We're trying to put a good name back to towing," said David Idleman, owner of Superior Towing. Watson's Towing has offered this service for a little more than a year and has signs in some bars downtown. "We offer this service because this is a college town, and it's something that we can relate to," said Chris Chandler, a Watson's Towing dispatcher. "We're trying to put a good name back to towing." David Idleman Owner of Superior Towing Thursday and Saturday nights are the busy nights, Chandler said. "We began this service around the first of this year to help students get home safely and to help keep impaired students off of the road," said Craig Cauthen, owner. of Freedom Carrier Service. For the discount, students need only present their Gator 1 Card or SFCC identification when the tow truck arrives. the independent floridi alligator C -or.

Pamela Williams and her three sons received the keys to their home during a 9 a.m. dedication ceremony at Celebration Oaks in southeast Gainesville. Several students from UF organizations spent their Saturday mornings helping build this and several other homes for Habitat for Humanity. Participating groups that attended the ceremony included Florida Alternative Breaks, the Crossroads Christian Student Fellowship and the Southern Scholarship Foundation. Mechanical engineering senior Shafiq Zainol said he saw the project as a way to pass on the favor of low-income housing he receives as a member of the Southern Scholarship Foundation. "We get provided housing and, in a way, we are trying to return that favor to the community," he said. "It's kind of the same position these people are in. That's one of the reasons why I do it."

After about 20 minutes,' Bryant, 19, and Church, 21, left the residence with Sutton's $2,300 laptop in tow. A call to ASO dispatched officers to Bryant's residence, where officers saw Sutton's computer from the window. "The defendants said that they were just trying to play a joke on the victim, yet they didn't know his name, they didn't know who he was," Maynard said. Bryant and Church were charged with grand theft. Sutton faces charges of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Ten minutes after the 2 a.m. curfew for liquor purchases, Jeremy J. Easton, of 636 NW 26th Ave., attempted to purchase two bottles of Corona and one bottle of Heineken from the Kangaroo convenience store at 1255 W University Ave. However, afterMelissa Marie McCloy, a Kangaroo employee, refused to sell it to him, Easton left the store with the bottles of beer in hand. Shortly afterward, a Gainesville Police officer interrupted Easton as he was urinatbig in the well-lit parking lot of Leonardo's Pizza, located next door to the convenience store, in full view of traffic on University Avenue. Easton had one of the bottles of Corona, which was open, with him, police reports state. Easton then was relieved of the rest of the stolen items and escorted to a waiting patrol car. Charges against him include theft, resisting arrest without violence and public urination. The beer cost $10.80. .-MEGAN v.

Club Creole's "106th and Park: Live in Haiti" pageant was one of several events during Club Creole Week aimed at educating students and dispelling stereotypes. "Though we're a different culture, we're still the same people, all. in all," said pageant co-director Elsie LaGuerre. She said the group had accomplished its goals during the week's events, which included a pool tournament, a formal gala and a "Jeopardy!"-style game that tested competitors' knowledge of Haitian trivia. The week ended Sunday with church services and a picnic. "Certainly, in all our events, it wasn't just us there," LaGuerre said, noting she was glad the organization had reached others. More than 85 people, including students from FSU, BethuneCookman College and FAU, attended the pageant in the Shands Auditorium. Stephanie Dorestant and Andy Luc were crowned Mr. and Ms. Club Creole.

MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 5 Bush must clean after his messes My government teacher in high school made an interesting prediction that has stuck with me. He said whichever party won the presidential election in 2004 would not win in 2008 because the country is such an utter mess that nobody could come out of this term looking good. There's no denying it: America is in an economic slump, mired in two wars in the Middle East and facing the largest federal deficit in history. Some argue President Bush needs to finish the job he started, but the onus for this mess lies squarely on his shoulders. The federal deficit needs to be reduced, and Bush's plan to cut the deficit in half in five years has been termed an "anemic goal," by Stephen Moore, former president of The Club for Growth -a conservative group. The federal deficit in 2004 topped $413 billion, more than 3 percent of our nation's gross domestic product. Bush wants to extend and expand his tax cuts and revise the current alternate minimum tax. The Congressional Budget Office projects Bush's AMT reforms will add $172 billion to the deficit through 2009. Jennifer S o c i a l Nestler Security is in Speaking Out trouble, which will affect our generation more than our parents'. It is projected the system has enough assets to pay full benefits until 2042, which is about the time our generation will start thinking about retirement. Privatization of Social Security spells disaster, because it involves depleting the fund by creating individual accounts for workers. Your current payroll taxes aren't being set aside until you retire: They're being used to fund current beneficiaries. Private investment accounts also would be entirely at the mercy of the economy. Students across the United States. are lagging in their knowledge of math and science and ability to read. The No Child Left Behind Act is such a failure that the Department of Education paid syndicated commentator Armstrong Williams $240,000 to promote it. Ouch. Bush has the worst environmental record of any president His current energy bill would exempt all oil and gas construction from having to obtain permits controlling polluted runoff mandated by the Clean Water Act. His policies do nothing to encourage the development of alternative fuel sources and instead encourage dependence on foreign oil. The United States represents 5 percent of the world's population but uses 20 percent of the its fossil fuels. At some point, alternatives need to be developed. The Bush administration's foreign policy is another major concern, as our military is stretched thin across two wars in the Middle East. It is time for the United States to become a functioning member of the world community again. Bill Clinton said it best: America needs to create a world in which it would like to exist wlen it is no longer a superpower. For better or worse, Bush's second term has the potential to shape history. Jennifer Nestler is a imemiber of UF College Demiocrats. poInits ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions A Optimism high he past four years have been, if nothing else, a real roller coaster ride. We've seen the stock market bubble burst, the most horrific terrorist attack ever on American soil, two wars that followed and one of the most divisive elections in American history. Watching the president be sworn into office for his second term, the toll the past four years have taken on him was clear. He has aged, and so has our nation. We're wiser to the threat of terrorism, less naive about picking tech stocks and have a better understanding of the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make to keep us free. As this new term begins, we look forward for president's second term Hunter to four years of peace Williams and prosperity. Next Speaking Out week's elections in Iraq, along with the recent Palestinian elections, are the first fruits of a flourishing of democracy in the Middle East. We hope oppressed peoples around the world will demand democracy instead of dictators and that the world will support them in their quest. As the president said in his speech, "The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world." At home, we look forward to continuing economic growth as America proves once again our workers can compete with anyone in the world. We hope to see sweeping reforms that look toward the future, ensuring that when we college students of today retire, we will not be cheated out of Social Security. We want to own our retirement fund and have control over it, not just trust that the bureaucrats have our best interests in mind. We want a tax system that encourages saving and investment rather than simple consumerism. We want an end to frivolous lawsuits that drive up the cost of healthcare SEE WILLIAMS, PAGE 7 --~.,-,iTC' 5 .Check out the Opinions section of www.alligator.org to answer Reader responses, access additional content and view U-Wire columns.

6, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 Editorial Fast action Bush must leave time for discussion of key issues ove him or hate him, President Bush has built a reputation for swift and decisive action. Regardless of personal views concerning the merit of these actions, he has shown he will not hesitate to use all available force and speed to accomplish his goals. However, this trend is beginning to look dangerous as predictions for the term he began Thursday take shape. Intending to usher in an era of change for the better, Bush has proposed drastic measures to address issues in immigration and Social Security. These issues, however, are not pressing enough to require such hasty action -especially considering effectiveness in dealing with the problems likely would be sacrified for inmediacy. To be sure, Social Security must be fixed before it collapses Lender its own weight -in 50 years. But the program could stand to run as it does now for decades, so the government can easily afford to set aside at least a year for research, debate and the search for a solution that will provide the needed changes without exposing future retirees' benefits to the uncertainty inherent in privatization. Similarly, finding a solution to problems stemming from illegal immigration is equally important -and equally capable of being postponed until further research and debate can be done. A system of providing work visas could help regulate acceptance of immigrants, but the proposed plan would cause further bureaucratic nightmares while ha Ving little real effect on the influx of illegal immigrants. As the leader of the country, Bush must be able to set aside his wishes for seeing the end of these problems occur during his presidency in favor of having them solved in whichever ways will be best in the long in. In addition to blocking the path for better solutions, the rush to finalize responses to these issues has obscured issues in dire need of attention. In a glaring example, perhaps the most important issue for the future of America has been severely neglected: education. Unlike Social Security and illegal irunrigration, the U.S. educational system is in a time of crisis. Public schools and universities do not have the funds necessary to revive them from their constantly-deteriorating state, and there is no plan currently in motion to address this concern. More than the expansion of democracy, more than an end to terrorist threats and more than essentially anything else, the improvement of our educational system should be the goal of Bush's next four years in office. Quality of education impacts every other aspect of life in the country. Better-educated students make and spend more money, participate more fully in the political process and otherwise are better equipped to be active members of society. Furthermore, America's continued flagging in education compared to other nations casts doubts on whether it will be able to compete in fields such as technology and science in the future. Fixing these problems would be relatively simple if proper funding were provided: increased salaries would lead to an increase in the number of teachers and in their qualifications; additional funding -not decreased funding, as under the current "grading" system -would allow failing schools to improve; and more money given directly to the public education system would allow more schools to be built and existing schools to be expanded, which would reduce the problem of overcrowding. All of these things would produce results that would have lasting benefits that are impossible to put a price on. While billions of dollars are being spent on issues that seem to be relevant today, the importance of providing for the future is being forgotten. ,i th e in d e p e n d e n t nor id a Dwayne Robinson EDITOR Mike Gimignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR Lauren Flanagan Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions 4 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content P d Available from Commercial News Providers" I I K 446 S G guest C C!umr Emperor Bush had on't be fooled. President Bush was not inaugurated -he was crowned. And Bush, for his part, is acting like the holy Roman emperors and conquerors of medieval times. Those emperors were -deemed by the pope as chosen by God to protect the Christian church. They were responsible for the souls of their subjects and the souls of the "barbarians" who lived outside the empire's territory. Therefore, it was divine will that the emperor should conquer as much territory as he could in order to spread Christianity. Likewise, Bush, to many, is the defender of moral values. By decree, there will be no gay marriage in his kingdom and, maybe soon, no abortion. The Bush coronation culminated with an hour-long church service in, tellingly, a Gothic cathedral. Evangelist Billy Graham said he believed God orchestrated Bush's re-election. Essentially, it seems, Bush is the American president by divine right. "Their next four years are hidden from us, but they are not hidden from you," Graham said. "You know the challenges and opportunities they will face. Give them a clear mind, a warm heart, calmness in the midst of turmnoil, reassurance in times of discouragement and your presence always." That's a pretty heavy load for any leader, but Bush took his responsibilities even further with his inaugural address. Rather than merely bringing Christianity into every savage land on Earth like the emperors of old, he said "it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." So instead of spreading Christianity by the sword, Bush is determined to spread .liberty by the bomb. Although these ends are different, Bush used religious imagery to clarify his vision. "Liberty does not mean -independence from one another," he said in his address. "Our nation relies on men and women who look after a neighbor and surround the gaudy coronation lost with love." In truly religious traditi he couples "love your neighb speech with "fire and brimsto threats. He likens freedom to "untamed fire" that will burn Jason Levitt The Watch Towerletters@alligator.org on, or ne" an all those who resist it. Another similarity is the hypocrisy of the supposedly humble and devout Christian leader enjoying the pomp of royal court, much like when the holy Roman emperors would wear jeweled shoes and a crown of gems and gold while visitors kissed their feet. Visitors didn't have to kiss Bush's feet to win favor and access to the royal court, but they did have to spend ungodly amounts of money. Diana Olick and Rob Reynolds of CNBC reported ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum and Southern Company paid tribute by "donating" $250,000 each. These companies hope Bush will throw them a bone in the form of energy subsidy legislation. You've recently been hearing a lot about privatizing Social Security, right? It just so happens the corporate beneficiaries of this policy, the financial services firms, together contributed $375,000 to the inauguration. It is hard, not to feel like a lowly serf when I only can watch while the real American royalty, the corporate elite, arrive in Washington in private jets and saunter around in their designer clothes, tipping back cocktails and smoking victory cigars. But whose victory were they celebrating -Bush's, America's, the Iraqi people's or their own? If it is liberty and freedom for which common Americans are giving their sons, daughters and taxes, we should not have to have our noses rubbed in such a vulgar display of power. It only gives everyone -friends, enemies and ourselves -reason to believe that it is not freedom Bush wants to export, but corporate domination.

MONbAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 ALLIG ATOR, 7' Guest column Bush's plans sound promising, but his intent is uncertain When George W. Bush first ran for president, he decried "nation building" as futile. But in Thursday's inaugural speech, he pledged to make nation building a hallmark of his second term. -, If President Bush's first four years are any guide, presidents don't always get to choose their priorities; some have priorities thrust upon them. Although only time will tell where Bush leads the country, his speech laid out where he'd like to go. He spoke of spreading "the fire of freedom" to the oppressed abroad, though whether he intends to do so via an outpouring of foreign aid or an outpouring of bombs remains to be seen. The next headlines involving Iran or North Korea should clue us in, though whether he intends to forge ahead unilaterally or with the support of our allies Letters to the Editor Validity of chiropractics is not the issue Editor: Publications such as yours should stop lumping the credibility of the chiropractic profession in with the political and financial issues related to the proposed addition of a chiropractic school at FSU. Thursday's editorial states "the scientific community, as a whole, vehemently opposes the inclusion of chiropractics as a legitimate healing art" without clarifying who constitutes this "scientific community." -My assumption is that your information solely has come from medical professionals and associations who have a long history of attempting to suppress chiropractics. In 1987, a U.S. District Court found the American Medical Association and its co-conspirators guilty of trying to destroy the chiropractic profession. Further investigation into chiropractics' legitimacy revealed a body of research conducted by The National Institutes of Health and other organizations that demonstrate the also remains to be seen. February's State of thd Union address 'and meetings with European Union leaders will shed light on his intent. Bush said our moral values are built upon the "varied faiths of our people." I, like Bush, attend a Methodist church, but I would like to see greater sensitivity toward those who don't share our religion. However, our personal faith can and should inform our political beliefs. But those beliefs don't and can't apply only in a religious sense. Hunger, illiteracy, lack of access to medical care, irresponsive politics and oppression lead to civil instability, which is a national security threat to America. A few days before Bush's inauguration, the United Nations unveiled a plan to slash global poverty: If the world's richest donor countries increase their aid to 0.5 percent of their gross health benefits of chiropractics. Multiple studies have shown chiropractic care to be safer, less expensive and as or more effective than pharmaceuticals and surgery. As a legitimate and popular therapeutic option for millions of people, grouping chiropractics with "Crop Circle Simulation" and "Bigfoot Institute" as portrayed in the cartoon distributed by FSU faculty and published in your paper last week is irresponsible and unjustifiable. The chiropractic profession has fought this kind of ignorance since the 1800s. Private chiropractic degree programs abide by rigid educational standards and board certification on both national and state levels. Whether or not to add a chiropractic school to a publicly funded institution such as.FSU is the issue, and attempts to debunk an established, standardized and proven effective profession should not be part of the conversation. Howard Krisel, DC UF alumnus national product, we could halve extreme poverty in 10 years. That's only 50 cents out of every $100. Bush has increased Gavin Baker American aid by 50 Speaking Out percent, but to reach leters@alligator.org the goal would require us to more than triple our foreign aid. We can pat ourselves on the back for our response to the tsunami. We did a good thing, providing aid to an area where more than 150,000 people died. But each month 150,000 children die from malaria, a disease that is preventable and treatable. If Bush is as concerned with freedom and compassion as he WI LLIAMS, from page 5 and expanded health savings accounts so patients and doctors make the critical decisions, not insurance companies. Finally, we want to see judges and justices appointed who will interpret the law rather than make things up as they go along. The second-term agenda is ambitious, but, with Republicans in firm control of Corigress and a more than 3million-vote mandate for the president, this is a rare opportunity to think big and accomplish big. To be sure, our nation will be tested and will have to face the continuing threat of terrorism, but says, what better way is there to show it than by meeting the United Nations' goal? But if we forgive Bush's flip-flop on nation building and America's role in the world, the goals he laid out are impressive. He could content himself to reforming Social Security, simplifying the tax code and trimming the bureaucracy. He could focus on cleaning up the mess in Afghanistan and Iraq, promoting peace between Israel and Palestine and rebuilding tsunami-ravaged areas. Those would be laudable goals and fondly looked upon by history if done right, but Bush's ambition is larger than that. Whether that reflects a grand vision of leadership or montunental hubris remains to be seen. Gavin Baker is a history freshinan. His column runs on Wednesday. the spirit of America is strong and up to any challenge. Our expectations are running high as the president's second term begins. It's hard to run both as an incumbent and on a platform of change, but that's precisely what President Bush did. He is an optimist, and a nation of dreamers such as America is well-served with dne at the helm. With this election in the past and the 2000 recount now ancient history, we hope partisanship can be set aside and the best interests of the country focused on instead.

8, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 King of late night dies at 79 E THE "TONIGHT SHOW" HOST LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK ON COMEDY. By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughs~lligstar.org Johnny Carson, one of the most influential and beloved entertainers in American history, died Sunday morning after a long battle with emphysema. He was 79. Carson hosted NBC's "The Tonight Show" for nearly 30 years and became a staple of American television before retiring May 22, 1992. While the entertainer kept out of the public eye in his retirement, news surfaced last week that Carson still provided "Late Show" host David Letterman with material on an occasional basis. Eddie Geller, president of Theatre Strike Force, a UF improvisational comedy group, said people loved Carson because he was a mainstay who was exceptional at his job. "During his time at 'The Tonight Show,' the comedy he did was really original and was something that was very entertaining," Geller said. Some felt the void left in late night television was never filled after Carson's' retirement. Even Letterman, whose show borrows its formatting from Carson, said all late-night successors are just "pretenders." Ed McMahon, the sidekick and straight man on "The Tonight Show," was best known for introducing Carson into people's homes rdghtly with a cry of "Heeeeere's Johnny!" McMahon said Sunday that Carson was "like a brother to me." "Our 34. years of working together, plus the 12 years since then, created a friendship which was professional, family-like and one of respect and great admiration," McMahon said in a statement. "When we ended our run on 'The Tonight Show' and my professional life continued, whenever a big career decision needed to be made, I always got the OK from 'The Boss."' Josh Breit, a Theatre Strike Force member, said Carson is deserving of the praise he gets because he was ahead of his time. "I don't know if anyone will surpass him because he was the first," Breit said. "He was the pinnacle." Nearly all of Carson's professional life was spent in television, from his postwar start at Nebraska stations in the late 1940s to his three decades with "The Tonight Show." Carson chose to let "Tonight" stand as his career zenith and his finale, withdrawing into a quiet retirement that suited his private nature and refusing involvement in other show-business projects. In 1993, he explained his, absence Special from the limelight. A___ "I have an ego like anybody else," Carson told The Washington Post, "but I don't need to be stoked by going before the public all the time." Through it all, Carson simply refused to be wooed back onto the stage. "I just let the work speak for itself," he told Esquire magazine in 2002. While he said he feels no one will be more loved than Carson, Breit said he thinks "Late Night" host Conan O'Brien will be well-respected. "I think Conan is very, very funny," Breit said. "I think he has a good shot [to be remembered], especially since he started out so young." Though he didn't grow up with Carson on the air, Geller said he felt the effect Carson had on him was undeniable. "His comedy influenced people who influenced me," Geller said. "People like Conan O'Brien and shows like 'The Simpsons' or 'Saturday Night Live." Infornationfroin the Associated Press was used in this report. 0 are you experiencing any of these ?

MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 9 Program teaches self defense ---I Women learn moves from UPD instructor By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@alligator.org Twenty Gainesville women spent 12 hours in a University Police-sponsored class this weekend learning how to defend themselves in a possible sexual assault. In the early morning hours of Saturday, the allages group of women got a chance to socialize among themselves over orange juice, coffee and dardshes, which created a comfortable atmosphere for everyone to share personal experiences and goals for the class. Sgt. Walt Hamby instructed the women following materials provided by Rape Aggression Defense Systems -a comprehensive women-only program consisting of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques. Hamby began his training for teaching the course in 1999 and taught his first group of women in 2000. He said the class has been rewarding for him as he maintains an entertaining prefaced lecture outlining avoidance and prevention, but if necessary compliance as well, with a mental and physical martial-arts defense training course. Hamby said he always walks away impressed with the women and pleased with the results --especially when the class gets physical. "I love it," Hamby said. "I love it when they hit me .and it hurts." The women -equipped with kneepads, elbow pads, gloves and a helmet during the physical-training session -practice defensive moves on Hamby and his cohort, UPD officer and RAD coordinator Darren Sanders, both of whom are dressed in fell body suits. To Hamby, the suit is an imitation Michelin Man"The pads do a very effective job;" Hamby smiled.

"However, there are gaps." Hamby said the goal is to simulate the most realistic situations, so he commonly asks the women to envision a frightening scenario, such as being alone at night at an automated teller machine. Additionally, the women are encouraged not to practice quietly. If the officers felt their yells of, 'No!' 'Get Away!' and 'Stop!' were not bold enough, they practiced until the room reverberated with strength and defense, cheered on by persoihal instructors who walk through the room to help women perfect their stance and appearance. Hamby said last semester his agency held about 11 courses, and the teams have increased to about 10 instructors. "We have really made a commitment," he said. UF junior Lindsay Leroy said she On learned about the class at Preview, Caarapus UF's orientation program for incoming students, before her freshman year and has wanted to do it ever since. But due to factors including her busy schedule, she has waited until Saturday to finally do so. Leroy said she felt the class was very informative, especially about the services police offer. "It made me more aware there is other help out there," Leroy said. "I didn't know that was out there." She said in the future, she will be apt to keep her head up and observe her surroundings. "The 12 hours here could save my own life," Leroy said. "It is well worth it." Hamby said the most important thing he wants women to walk away with is a strong sense of awareness. "It is the single most important aspect of avoidance," Hamby said. Information about the class and future scheduled sessions is available by contacting Darren Sanders at 392-1409. Th A1111h 1718 -W.

, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 e nis opens season with 7-0 win GATORS WIN 17TH CONSECUVE SEASON OPENER. By NATASHA WEINSTEIN Alligator Writer nweinstein@aligator.org The UF's men's team opened its dualatch season with a 7-0 victory against entral Florida Sunday afternoon. It was the Gators' 17th consecutive :ason-opening victory and third con?cutive season-opener that they shut out ieir opponent. Coach Andy Jackson said tat while the men were stronger than CF, there's plenty of room for improvetent before they travel to play No. 9 luke on Sunday. "We're nowhere near where we have be to play top-10 teams on the road," ickson said. A half hour into doubles play, fresh1an Greg Ouellette and junior Stefan Tell 'on 8-4 on court No. 2. Juniors Jordan )olberg and Ryan Sherry secured the oubles match 15 minutes later with an 8victory on court No. 3. Top seeds senior [amid Mirzadeh and junior Chris Brandi >st 9-7 in a match that lasted more than n hour. In singles play, Ouellette was the first earn a point for UF with his 6-1, 6-2 vich>ry. Mirzadeh followed with a 6-2 and -0 win. The second match ended early vhen opponent Antonio Sierra withdrew ecause of back problems. Sherry clinched UF's team victory af?r winning 6-2, 6-1 on court No. 6. Before the Gators meet the Blue Devils, toey will host Furman on Friday at 4 p.m. ackson said Furman is similar to Central lorida and will serve as an opportunity > not only improve but also prepare for luke. "It was cold and it was the first match f the year, but I expect to see improve-against Furman," Jackson said. "I on't think we're as bad as we look." Casey Anderson Alligator Staff Jackson added that the seeding of the Senior Hamid Mirzadeh won his singles match against Central Florida Sunday >p players is not expected to change but 6-2, 3-0.

In addition to Munroe, UF added receiver David Nelson to its growing stable of wide receivers. Nelson, a 6-foot-6, 196-pound receiver from Texas, chose UF instead of Texas, Notre Dame and Iowa. A trip to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium sealed the deal for Nelson, who was amazed at the experience of running out of the tunnel, a must for visiting recruits, he said. Ryan Stamper, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker from First Coast High in Jacksonville, also pledged his commitment to UF Sunday. Stamper, who de-committed from Auburn, will shore up a Gators linebacking corps that features only four players on scholarship. With kickers Matt Leach and Matt Piotrowicz graduating, the Gators were able to land Jonathan Phillips. Phillips, who was committed to Purdue, finished his career at 18-21 inside of 45 yards. More than 90 percent of his kickoffs were not returned. While UF landed a big haul following the weekend, not everything went as planned. Current freshman Brandon Daniel and recruit Jeff Owens went on a trip to Lake Wauburg. The two defensive tackles, weighing more than 275 pounds each, made a huge splash. "I was in there with [Daniel] and [the canoe] just tipped over," said Owens, the No. 13 defensive tackle in the nation. "Everyone was yelling there was an alligator close to us and we had to swim back to shore a little faster." Owens, a Georgia commitment, will visit FSU Jan. 28 before making his final decision. He didn't say if the canoeing experience will weigh into his decision. "Coach Meyer is a great guy and he definitely gave me a lot to think about before I make my decision on signing day," Owens said. Receiver Eric Sledge also committed to UP. Oral connitments are non-binding until a national-letter-of-intent is signed on National Signing Day on Feb. 2. What I like about you is that you're just like me!

MONDAY, JANUARY 24,2005 E ALLIGATIrbW 19 GYMNASTICS Gators defeat No. 19 Nebraska, set season highs By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org It was foggy outside the O'Connell Center on Friday night, but what transpired inside was clear to see. In what was easily its best performance of the season, the No. 10 UF gymnastics team defeated No. 19 Nebraska 196.95 to 196.675. "I thought that we did a tremendous job staying focused," Coach Rhonda Faehn said. "That was our goal coming into this meet, to be consistent and hit our routines and correct the mistakes of the previous two meets." UF would only trail after the first rotation, scoring a 49 on vault while Nebraska scored a 49.25. Vault was also the only event in which UF did not have an individual winner. Sophomore Samantha Lutz shared individual titles on both bars and floor exercise. "One of the reasons we put her in the floor lineup is because she's such a performer," Faehn said. "It's obvious when she's out there that she loves what she's doing, the judges love it and the crowd loves it." The floor exercise victory came in her first appearance on the apparatus this season, As the last balance-beam performer, she had to nail her routine so that UF was not forced to count an earlier fall. "The, last thing you want to think is 'oh no,"' Lutz said. "When you have a mistake, you rely on the hard work that you put in during practice, that you know you can do it regardless of the situation." Lutz's personal-best score of 9.9 on bars was part of UF's resurgence in a skill that "We knew that it was going to be a learning process. Tonight we did an excellent job." Rhonda Faehn Gymnastics head coach plagued the team in the first two meets. Friday, the Gators not only avoided having to count a fall, but their score of 49.35 on bars was their second highest of the night. "We knew from the start that it was never going to be a weakness," Faehn said. "What happens when you almost have a brand-new team is that you're going to have issues finding out who is going to be most prepared or most consistent. "We knew that it was going to be a learning process. Tonight we did an excellent jc." Despite her worst all-around performance of the season, Breanne King took the beam crown with a personal-best score of 9.95. "We've been working real hard on beam," King said. "Everyone has been more and more consistent and I think it shows." In just her second career all-around appearance, Katie Rue finished second with a #9.35. She was bested by Nebraska's Richelle Simpson, the 2003 NCAA all-around champion. Rue's score was UF's highest of the season. "We have the same expectations of every athlete that we put up there regardless of whether they're a freshman or a senior," Lutz said. "We have confidence in them, and we expect them to do what they're capable of doing." UF rallies run out against Ole Miss By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@aligator.org Just when it seemed the UF women's basketball team would notch another come-back win, everything fell apart. Making up a 19-point deficit early in the second half, the Gators could not hang on, losing to Mississippi 82-70. On an afternoon when UF (12-6, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) could have won the its 500th game, the coach with the most wins in team history sat on the other bench. Carol Ross spent 12 years at UF, winning 247 games for the Gators. After resigning following the 2001-02 season, Ross joined Mississippi (13-5, 3-2 SEC) last season. Ross recruited many of UF's current players, but only two played for her -seniors Tishona Gregory and Tamia Williams. Despite this, Ross wanted to make sure the Rebels did not worry about her past. "I told them 'don't get caught up in the Gator thing,'" Ross said. "Because I created that chaos, and they didn't need to wear that burden. I thought they responded well." Mississippi Womens Basketball played well until Mississippi 82 UF mounted a 3111 run that seemed UF 70 to bury its aspirations of a blowout. UF clawed back and trailed 36-29 at the half. On their first four possessions in the second half, the Gators took a 39-38 lead three minutes in. The game, however, was tied for the final time at the 13:42 mark as Mississippi recorded 30 of their 58 rebounds in the final period.

"We played I think pretty decent defense for the most part, but allowing a team to get 24 second-chance opportunities will make for a long night" Mississippi pounded UF inside during the next 6 minutes, swinging a 45-45 game into a 13-point lead UF could not overcome. Junior Sarah Lowe said the team fought hard but was spent after the big rally. "It's definitely draining; coming back from 19 points down and then going on to finishing it out," Lowe said. "But at the same time it's no excuse. We shouldn't have been in that position to begin with." Despite the loss, UF is still in conference contention. Peck was positive afterwards, saying there is still time to get better. "We'll refocus and look at things we did well, and then things that we need to improve on," Peck said.

That is why UF will not feel the effects of this year's recruiting class. Assuming the whole sophomore class doesn't go pro a year early, UF will be fine. By signing a smaller class this year, it opens up next year, when Meyer and his staff will have the necessary relationships to put together a top-10 class.

S po-rts ALLIGATOR MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2005 www.aIligator.org/sports UF steals safety recruit from FSU By ERIC ESTEBAN I Alligator Writer eesteban@aligator.org For the second time ini two months, U .defeated Florida State -this time it was a fierce competition for one of the nation's top safeties. After committing to FSU earlier in the recruiting season, Dorian Munroe of Miami's Coral Reef High visited UF this weekend and couldn't pass up on a chance to play for Urban Meyer and the Gators. "I called the coaches at Florida State, de-committed, and told them I was going to Florida," said Munroe, rated as the nation's No. 11 safety by Scout.com. "The atmosphere is what sold me, and I see us playing for a national championship in my time there." UF played host to more than 17 recruits this weekend and ended up with five oral commitments. Munroe was hosted by freshman Kyle Jackson and immediately hit it off with one of UF's top freshman players from 2004. "Kyle is one cool guy who played early and told me how it is up there," Munroe said. "Gainesville is definitely where I want to be and Coach Meyer is a huge reason for my change of heart." The addition of Munroe to UF's list of commitments gives the Gators the No. 11 safety and the No. 3 defensive back Avery Atkins, who will make his official visit to Gainesville Jan. 28.

A little more than a week after Locksley took the offensive coordinator job at Illinois with Ron Zook, Meyei announced the hiring of Stan Drayton as running backs coach on Friday. Drayton, who comes to Gainesville after serving in the same capacity at Mississippi State in 2004, has spent nine years working with running backs at the collegiate level. Drayton has also coached in the NFL for three seasons. "We were looking for a coach who had extensive experience coaching running backs with a proven track record," Meyer said. "We were looking for an outstanding recruiter, a great teacher of the game and someone who understood the philosophy of our football program. "Coach Drayton is all of brayton that and more. We are excited to have him and his wife join our Gator family." Drayton, 33, went to MSU from the Green Bay Packers, where he spent the previous three seasons as the organization's offensive quality control and assistant special teams coach. Before coaching on the pro level, Drayton was the running backs coach for five months at Bowling Green (Ohio) State University. He earlier served as an assistant coach at Villanova from 1996-2000, including 'its Division I-AA national championship season in 1997. In 1999, Drayton was nominated for the American Football Coaches' Association Assistant Coach of the Year Award. Drayton has been instrumental in the development of standout running backs, including two-time All-American and Super Bowl-bound Philadelphia Eagle Brian Westbrook. As a sophomore at Villanova in 1998, Westbrook became the first player on any collegiate level to record more than 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season. This past season, Drayton tutored Mississippi State's Jerious Norwood, who rushed for 1,050 yards on 195 carries to finish third in the Southeastern Conference with 95.5 yards per game. "I'm proud to be a part of the Florida football program," Drayton said. "I was fortunate to be around Coach Meyer when he began his head coaching career at Bowling Green, and I'm thrilled to be reunited with him in Gainesville." 5.~~T 5-i-"i 1 NFL N For the latest on the UF men's A 1981: Vernon Delancy scored 38 points, a U UF men's golf coach Buddy Alexander Atlanta 10 and women's swimming and diving UF men's basketball team freshman record, was selected to coach the U.S. team in Philadmlphia 27 teams, log on to alligator.org/ in a 97-91 home victory against Alabama. the 2005 Palmer Cup by the Golf Coaches sports.
