Pepsi deal means Coke no longer the one


* THE AGREEMENT ENDS 40
YEARS OF COKE ON CAMPUS.

By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH
Alligator Contributing Writer

The bubble has burst for Coke
on campus.
After 40 years of business, UF
will part ways with Coca-Cola
as the official soft-drink provider
of the Florida Gators. Dramatic
changes are anticipated at UF
after university officials signed a
10-year, exclusive agreement with
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.
on. Monday. The contract begins
Aug. 16, putting a new taste in the.
mouths of Gators.
"I think students are going ,to
be excited for new products and
our support for UF," said Kelly
McAndrew, a spokeswoman for
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.
"Our goal is to reach out not just to
UF but the Gainesville community
as well."
McAndrew said the greatest
characteristic of the agreement is


Pepsi'sbrolad portfolio. o- f prO.d u ct_.
which includes Diet Pepsi, Sierra
Mist, Aquafina bottled water,
Tropicana juice drinks, Dole 100%
Juice, Lipton Iced Tea, SoBe juice
drinks and teas, and Starbucks
Frappuccinos.


Gator Dining
Services and
the, University
Ath 1 etic
Association also
Poppell joined the exclu-
sive agreement,
McAndrew said.
When asked about the value
of the contract, McAndrew said
Pepsi's policy prohibits the release
of any financial information to the
customers.
In a press release, Jeremy
Foley, UF athletics director, said,
"Pepsi will activate its University
of Florida sponsorship with phe-
nomenal marketing efforts in the
Gator community, state and in the
Southeast."

SG ups Growl grant


By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

The Growl has gotten deeper.
A Student Senate bill allocating
more than $300,000. for the Florida
Blue Key-run Gator Growl pep
rally not only survived its first vote
at Tuesday's meeting it grew by
$20,000.
An eleventh-hour amendment au-
thored by Sen. Kevin Bacon brought
Student Government's total contribu-
tion to this year's Growl to $340,000.
"My amendment is necessary to
ensure that every student can go to
Gator Growl for free," Bacon said.
"The $340,000 we have to allocate is
just to-make sure the students can get


in for free."
The addition will allow 24,000 stu-
dents to attend without having to pay
out-of-pocket, instead of 20,000.
Last year, more
Student than 48,000 stu-
Government dents attended UF,
but only 12,000 of
them bought tickets to the rally.
SG's initial contribution of
$140,000, which will cover program-
ming, technical and functioning costs
for Growl, will come out of reserves,
which itself derives from Activity &
Service fees taken from tuition.
In the 2005-06 school year, stu-
dents will pay $8.66 in A&S -fees per
credit hour.

STUDENT LIFE

Activists win $10K from MTV


By CRISTYLE WOOD
Alligator Writer

Human Rights Awareness on
Campus, a student organization cre-
ated in March,.won a $10,000 Darfur
Activism Award from mtvU, an
MTV channel geared toward college
students.
The grant, which was provided
by the Reebok Human Rights
Foundation, was awarded to the
best start-up organization focusing
on Darfur.
Georgetown University received
the top award, receiving $40,000 for
best-established organization focus-
ing on Darfur.
Nikolas Wolfe, HRAC presi-
dent, and Rochelle Meddoff, who
serves as HRAC treasurer, formed
the group after being given an as-
signment by their African Politics
teacher, Robert Uttaro.
The students were each given
a stamped envelope and told they


could write to their grandmother,
send Spring Break pictures or write
to their senator or congressman
about the inhumane 'events taking
place in Sudan, said Wolfe, a 19-
year-old political science and engi-
neering major.
This assignment, inspired by an
article in the New York Times, led
Wolfe to "ignite a spark that was
already there," he said.
Wolfe said he gathered names of
people interested in helping Darfur
victims and reached about 50 people
interested in the issue.
HRAC, which has been an official
student club for eight weeks, turned
out 1,100 people the highest turn-
out ever for a movie showing in
the Reitz Union, Wolfe said.
The group premiered "Hotel
Rwanda," which depicts the strug-
gle of more than a thousand Tutsi
refugees against the Hutu, militia
in Rwanda. The group, which now
has about 150 members, has also


conducted a massive letter writing
campaign, sending more than 1,500
letters to politicians from congress-
men and senators to the president,
said Wolfe, who said he first gained
interest in Darfur after attending a
seminar on the western Sudan re-
gion in 2004.
Wolfe said he hopes to use
the award winnings to "expand
HRAC's horizons" by donating to
aid organizations, using the funds
to further HRAC's involvement and
membership, using the recognition
to promote activism and to become
a non-profit organization.
Until now, everything has been
paid for out-of-pocket, he said.
Wolfe gave much credit of the
win to the many members, sup-
porters, friends, and family that
voted for HRAC online after being
selected as one of the three finalists.
"I guess it was to see who had the
most motivated group of people,"
he said.


Group sets sights


on interventions

By CRISTYLE WOOD
Alligator Writer

Performing interventions to decrease alcohol involvement
among high-risk groups, like males involved in athletics or
Greek life, was one of several topics dis-
cussed Tuesday at UF by a local committee.
The Culture and Environment Sub-
Committee, an arm of the Alachua County
Alcohol Coalition, wants to "combat feelings
UF is trying to take something away from the
students," chairman Jess Johnson said.
The committee is using research by the
Johnson National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism in compiling a checklist of inter-
ventions. These are divided into four tiers ranging from most
effective, which includes one-on-one focus, to less effective
practices, like alcohol education.
"Every campus and community is different," said Johnson,
who added difficulties involve time and resource restraints.
"We are trying to make the UF experience a better one, not
take away from it," he said.

Commissioner dispels myths about homelessness


* IN MARCH, LONG SPENT
48 HOURS ON THE STREET
TO CALL FOR AlTENTION.

By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org

The majority of homeless are
women and children, despite the.
misconception that homelessness is
most prevalent among white males
with substance-abuse problems,
Alachua County Commissioner
Rodney Long said Wednesday.
Long was one of three guest
speakers addressing the Alachua
County Young Democrats about
Gainesville's homeless issue.
"People making decisions don't
understand the problem, because
they're making decisions based on
misinformation, fear and politics,"
Long said.
The meeting, which was held at
the Voodoo Lounge in downtown
Gainesville, was organized by ACYD
President Jeanna Mastrodicasa, who
is also an assistant director of UF's
Honors Program.
ACYD holds monthly meetings
to discuss local politics, but home-
lessness seemed like an "especially"
relevant issue, Mastrodicasa said.


Jonathan Greenwood / Alligator
Alachua County Commissioner Rodney Long muses on the chronic issues of homelessness in his speech
before the Alachua County Young Democrats on Wednesday.
"We're covering this because Alachua County," she said. when he spent 48 hours living on
it's a timely topic, and we have a Long recently learned firsthand the streets and interviewing local
significant homeless population in what it was like to be homeless, homeless people.


"In America, homelessness is
probably one of the worst crises that
I have seen in my lifetime," he said.
He pinpointed the vulnerabil-
ity of former prisoners who become
homeless, claiming that government
bureaucracy limits their chances of
prosperity.
The meeting also hosted Beth
O' Grady of the Alachua County
.Coalition for the Homeless and
Hungry, as.well as Sharon Chenault
of the Gainesville Community
Ministry.
There are about 900 people
without homes in Alachua County,
many of whom are young children,
O' Grady said.
"The average age of a homeless
person here is nine," she said.
She and Chenault also discussed
the increasing problem of local
residents shunning the homeless
population.
"When I went to college in the
'60s, we were fighting blindess and
ignorance," Chenault said. "Now
people know about this problem,
but they're turning their back to it."
Responding to questions, Long
stressed an urgent need for reform
in political arenas.
S"We've got a Band-Aid on a gun-
shot wound," Long said. "We've got
to understand that this is all of our
problem."


Upcoming hurricane season finds mixed preparedness


Residents have

few storm plans
By CRYSTAL HENRY
Alligator Writer
chenry@alligator.org

With the start of hurricane sea-
son less than two weeks away and
forecasters predicting a repeat of last
year, a large percentage of Floridians
still have no plan of safety, said a
spokesman for the National Weather
Service.
This year could bring as many as
15 tropical storms, with about half
of those storms possibly developing
into hurricanes and up to five of those
hurricanes becoming major storm
systems, said Frank Lepore, a weather
service spokesman.
And 30 percent of Florida's .resi-
dents are not prepared, said Lepore,
citing a recent Mason-Dixon poll that
reported just 70 percent of Floridians
had a plan in case of a hurricane.
Lepore, a 1974 UF graduate, said it
is not the hurricanes that concern him
but the unprepared people in Florida.
President Bush declared this week
National Hurricane Preparedness
Week, and Floridians need to get a
plan of action in place for hurricane
season, which begins June 1, said
Lepore.
Last year, the Department of
Housing and Residence Education
had to scramble when dorms suffered
damages from two hurricanes that
passed through Gainesville.'
Beaty Towers West was hit the
worst, with the flooding of its 14th
floor, said Sharon Blansett, assistant
director of student housing.
UF students Erin Hoeft and Becky
Ramsay were suitemates on the
flooded floor.


Hoeft was worried the damp car-
pet would cultivate mold and agitate
Ramsay's asthma condition.
But the carpet in Ramsay's suite
was replaced, and her athsma was not
affected, said Hoeft.
Hoeft's carpet, -which had less
damage, was never replaced.
Merritt Bresnahan, a nutritional
science major, said her room on the
11th floor of Beaty West also flooded.
Her carpet was cleaned but didn't
dry well enough, she said. She and
her roommate had to wear shoes to
walk on their squishy carpet, and the
room started to smell musty.
"If it smells moldy, it's
moldy."
James Kimbrough
fungi and mold expert

They bought deodorizers to try to
overpower the moldy smell.
James Kimbrough, a mycologist
who has worked in-the Department of
Plant Pathology for 40 years, said that
if mold was suspected, the housing
department should have tested for it.
"If it smells moldy, it's moldy,"
said Kimbrough, an expert on fungi
and mold.
Blansett said the housing depart-
ment only tests for mold at the stu-.
dents' requests or if the housing staff
has concerns.
She said the housing department
received no requests from students,
and the staff did not see .any need to
test for mold after the hurricanes last
fall, therefore no tests were done.
There were many reasons for Beaty
West getting hit hard in the storms, ac-
cording to Blansett.
The windows in the dorms are
rated for high-powered winds but not
hurricane-force winds, she said.


Stores stock in advance

for impending storms
By MELISSA GARCIA
Alligator Contributing.Writer

Although hurricane season does riot officially
begin until June 1, local grocery stores are already
preparing for the worst.
Publix manufacturing facilities and Albertsons
stores in Gainesville ordered excess hurricane sup-
plies weeks in advance to ensure an adequate inven-
tory for this year's storm season.
Forecasters predict the hurricane season will be
as active and destructive as last season, according to
the National Weather Service Web site.
When Florida was pummeled by Hurricanes
Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne in 2004, the Publix
at 3100 SW 35th Blvd. and many other stores ran out
of essential items like bottled water and milk.
The stores' inventories were depleted by the
hurricane season frenzy and could not be restocked
when deliveries were hindered by violent weather.
Publix Super Markets, Inc. began working on
both internal and external communication plans
immediately after last year's hurricane season to
prevent this scenario from recurring, said Dwaine
Stevens, manager of media and community relations
for the Jacksonville division .
"We did learn a lot from last year," Stevens said.
Publix owns dairy manufacturing facilities in
Atlanta, Lakeland and Deerfield Beach, that are
stocking a surplus of water and milk to ship to stores
with depleted inventories, Stevens said.
If in-state facilities are depleted, the corporation
would turn to its out-of-state facilities. If out-of-state
facilities could not help, then Publix 'would autho-
rize local vendors to help supply needed products,
Stevens said.
Jesse Sutton, assistant grocery manager of the
35th Boulevard Publix, said manufacturing facilities
looked at last year's sales to determine how much
supplies needed to be increased for this season.
His store normally receives six shipments a week,
but Sutton said he expects additional delivery trucks
over the next few weeks with excess shipments of
water.


However, supply shortages were not the only
reason shelves were empty last hurricane season.
Most shipment delays were a result of the ex-
treme weather, Sutton said.
The Departmenrt of Transportation did not allow
delivery trucks on the roads when winds exceeded
45 mph, he said.
-Since last season, Publixhas worked to maintain
and improve relations and communications with the
local power agencies that service its stores, Stevens
said. Lengthy power outages during a storm can
spoil large amounts of food.
"We have learned not to stock stores full of per-
ishable foods and are trying to tell people to:have
more stable items in their homes,"
Around Stevens said.
Gainesville Power: outages were not
a problem for Albertsons last
year because the store is powered by its own gen-
erator, said Melissa Lawrence, drug manager of the
Albertsons at 3930 SW Archer Road.
Lawrence, from Key West, said she has never ex-
perienced a hurricane season in Gainesville.
"I heard how bad last year was," she said. "I'm
already starting to order supplies now to make sure
I'm prepared for what may or may not come." -
Lawrence stocked extra case lots of items as they
are sold by manufacturers. For example, her extra
order for lantern fuel included 96 more cases than
before., sh -aid
In addition to lantern fuel, her list of hurricane
supplies in high demand includes water, charcoal
and candies, she said.
The early preparation and surplus could be
needed since the Florida Legislature unanimously
voted for a sales-tax holiday on hurricane supplies
from June 1 through June 12.
Items such as batteries, gas tanks, coolers, por-
table radios, tarps and generators will be tax-free to
promote hurricane preparedness for consumers.
Hurricane Preparedness Week began May 15,
and families are encouraged to have a family plan,
create a disaster supply kit and secure their homes
for flooding and violent winds, according to the
National Weather Service Web site.

New contract may mean decrease in revenue from ardent Coke fans


PEPSI, from page 1

"This partnership will fund sev-
eral important programs through-
out the campus," Foley said.
Pepsi's deal with UF goes be-
yond just the sale of its products
on campus, however.
"We wanted a broad partner-
ship, one that will enrich student
and faculty life, enhance athletics,


invigorate the alumni of UF and
involve the communities we joint-
ly serve," Jim Keown, senior vice
president and general manager of
PBG's Southeast Business Unit,
said in a press release.
While Pepsi prepares to flood
the UF market, Coca-Cola is focus-
ing on a trouble-free departure.
"Our transition plan will be
smooth for the university," said
Michelle Holcomb, spokeswoman
for the Florida Coca-Cola Bottling


Co. "But we have yet to determine
any specific details."
Those details will be ironed out
with UF somewhere toward the
end of the contract, she said.
Despite UF severing the four-
decade-long relationship, Coca-
Cola remains dedicated to serving
its loyal Gator customers.
"We want to provide our valued
customers with the highest quality
of service no matter where they
are," Holcomb said. "We are very


committed to the development in
education in Gainesville."
While the change may inconve-
nience those students and faculty
partial to Coca-Cola, the university
also may face difficult changes.
Richard J. Lutz, a UF marketing
professor, said in the short run,
UF may see a slump in revenue
because loyal Coca-Cola drinkers-
would rather buy a Coke from
across the street.
However, Lutz explained that,


in the long run, Pepsi will gain
market share as soon as conve-
nience outweighs loyalty. -,
While students prepare their
tastebuds for an assortment of
Pepsi beverages, one Coca-Cola
employee admits the change will
take some getting used to.
"There is a -lot of Coke equip-
merit at UF," said Malcome Worley,
a Coca-Cola service technician. "To
see everything turn to Pepsi will be
quite weird."


Proposal drops SG as official sponsor


GROWL, from page 1


The amendment also drops SG as official spon-
sor of the event, as the bill suggested; however, SG
may have a 30- to 60-second advertisement during
the production. Advertisements for the event will
read, "Student tickets funded by SG."
The bill will go on to a second reading next
week.
In 2004, FBK lost $181,000 on the rally due to
poor attendance after paying $135,000 to comedians
Bill Engvall' and Dane Cook. FBK covered the debt.
However, that debt has ramifications for the
2005 show. Growl's. starting budget of $30,000
is lower than previous years of about $100,000,
Student Senate President Diane Kassim said.
This year's Homecoming and Gator Growl bud-
get is $584,000, compared with last year's figure of
$720,000.
The cuts prompted Gator Growl staff to ask SG
Sfor $150,000 to add to the talent and technical bud-
gets for the show.
Despite the sizeable contribution, which makes
up about 58 percent of this year's total budget, SG
will have no creative control over Growl.
At first, Bacon said he had doubts about the bill.
"It seemed like a lot of money to me," he said.
"In the beginning, I wasn't sure if this was going to
benefit students."
Then he added, "I really think I figured it out."
Bacon's addition to the bill makes the sliding
scale a little more level for all students. The bill's
old version stopped incrementing money to Gator


Growl organizers after the 17,778th ticket was
distributed. Under the new plan, the incentive
for Gator Growl to sell tickets continues until the
24,001st ticket is "purchased," as the remaining
$200,000 will be given incrementally to FBK as the
student tickets are picked up.
Only four out of the 40 members of the Gator
Growl team are members of FBK.
Despite swallowing the loss of last year's event,
Associate Director of Student Activities Chris
Cupoli confirmed that FBK couldn't make a profit
on the 2005 show.
"If there's money left over, that money stays in
the (Reitz) Union's Gator Growl account," he said.
"It doesn't go to FBK."
Cupoli added that students need to speak up if
they do not agree with the measure.
FBK Vice President Chris Carmody said running
Gator Growl is a tough gig.
"It's such high expectations," he said. "It's not
like the Oscars. It's like running a prom, and if it's a
really great prom, you won't hear one word."
Kassim said that, without SG's contribution,
Growl was going to be "like a high school pep
rally."
"I thought [the contribution] was an amazing
way to show everyday students that the A&S fees
are going to work for them," she said.
Robert Carmody, the director of Gator Growl
2005, said that with SG's contribution, fireworks
will make an appearance at this year's show.
Carmody added he is confident that his produc-
tion will be a'success.,
"I expect the show to go down in history," he
said.

Editorial


End of an epic

For our sake, we hope

the Force stays with us
M any absolutes have been said about the "Star Wars"
films in the past almost three decades since "A New
Hope" debuted epic, iconic, timeless.
But some say that as of today, the Force stops here.
While we're sure the commuters on Los Angeles'.
Hollywood Boulevard will be happier no longer having to
dodge Jedi and Stormtroopers, as they've done for the past
month, today's premiere of "Revenge of the Sith" will be a
bittersweet experience for fans worldwide.
As creator and director George Lucas has declined to
cast any scrap of. hope to fans about releasing the epic's
three final chapters, this third prequel and last installment,
though largely predictable to anyone who's seen the first
three films, is arguably no less eagerly anticipated than its
counterpart, "Return of the Jedi," was in 1983.
And like "Jedi," the ink granted to "Sith" may as well
be called accolades rather than reviews. Though the two
previous prequels have had their shortcomings do we
even have to say his name? reviews of "Sith" have been
near-universally glowing:
But it's not a case of all that's old being new again
- "Star Wars" never dropped out of pop cultural-icon
status.
Walk into any mall and you can find everything from
T-shirts with anything from hunky new Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ewan McGregor to the promotional poster for "Hope"
printed on them to authentically replicated lightsabers to
costumes, Halloween season or not.
Last month, a "Star Wars" convention in Indianapolis
drew more than 30,000 fans from around the globe.
Gainesville City Commissioner Rick Bryant has men-
tioned how the "Star Wars" films played a part in his
bonding with his three kids.
And just Tuesday night, a few of us paid tribute by
singing Weird Al Yankovic's "The Saga Begins" at the Salty
Dog.
Beyond their all-star casts, the two other prequels,
"Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" were ac-
cused of at times being little more than show ponies of
Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic.
-But so far as we're concerned, the movies could've been
made using cardboard cutouts and still would have had
cultural significance.
Though ILM is credited with changing the way mov-.
ies are made motion-control photography, blue-screen
special effects, etc. starting with "Hope," Lucas' films al-
ways-were hailed as iconic not for their newfangled smoke
and mirrors, but for their characters and epic breadth.
Who among us didn't gasp when Quintessential Bad
Guy Darth Vader.walked into the first frame of "Hope"?
Who among us isn't haunted by the vision that greets
Luke Skywalker when he returned to find Stormtroopers
had made it to his aunt's and uncle's farm before he did?
Who didn't bite their nails as the Rebel fleet faced the
Empire's Death Star, cheer when Yoda finally got to wield
a lightsaber or cry when it seemed Han Solo and Princess
Leia would never see each other again as he was frozen
into that block of carbonite?
As they had for more than a decade without a new chap-
ter, so the films will endure after "Sith."
They live on in Harvard University's "An Anthropologist
Looks at Science Fiction" class. They live on as countless
spin-off novels and comic books shelved all around the
world. They live on in the works of other filmmakers
amateur and Mel Brooks alike.
So while today will mark our final new voyage to that
galaxy far, far away, with us, strong will the Force remain.

Nothing like drinking tips from Germany


Greetings from Berlin, where sausage is its own food,
group, every street comer has a pub or three and
water is pronounced "Heineken."
As you may have gathered, drinking is a part of daily life
in Germany.
I don't mean to keep any stereotypes alive, but let's just
say a "Sober is Sexy" campaign way to go, Gainesville
marketing geniuses wouldn't work very well in
Deutschland.
For instance, it's normal here to see people walking down
the street, getting on the bus or browsing in a respectable
store with a bottle of beer in hand.
Whether it's 7:00 at night or 5:00 in the morning, no one
bats an eye.
Heck, even souvenir shops stock wine and liquor next to
the postcards and novelty key chains.
For all of its booze-friendly culture, however, Berlin could
teach Gainesville a thing or two about keeping its citizens
safe from alcohol-related accidents.
In Berlin, bars and clubs can sell alcohol 24 hours a day.'
This very idea makes Gainesville's city officials cringe,
because they, like most Americans, have been conditioned to.
believe our college students never would leave bars if no one
made them stop drinking.
In practice, however, the system works beautifully.
As expected by proponents of extended bar dosing times,
partygoers in Berlin trickle home anywhere from the early
evening to 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning.
Because of this, there is no rush of traffic at any particular
time.
This is made more effective by the public transportation
system which, as opposed to the system in Gainesville,
actually exists.
Because of a combination of buses and two different
subway systems, all of which. run 24 hours a day, there's
no part of the city that isn't easily accessible after a night of
partying.


In Gainesville, you have to risk
your life and the lives of countless
strangers by driving under the influ-
ence if you don't live in the tiny frac-
tion of the city covereckby the Later
Gator routes.
Matt Sanchez That is, of course, assuming you
Pure Foppery can't find a friend willing to take the

for the evening which, most-
likely, you can't.
In Berlin, you and any unwitting drivers are safe as long
as you can walk the short distance to the nearest bus stop or
subway station.
The worst that can happen is you pass out on the bus and
then spend the next few hours going around infcircles through
streets called "Am Friedrichshain," "Immanuelkirchstrasse"
and others Berlin's founders derived of their alphabet soup.
Opponents of changes toward this kind-of system worry
that this kind of "pandering". to alcohol culture would re-
. move some of the stigma attached to it.
Yep, that sounds about right. And it'd be the best thing
we could do.
The tight restrictions and regulations on alcohol use in
America serve only to pigeonhole drinking as an activity that
primarily is done in short, intend bui t-._ Ln the e'.vnijng i- -a
recipe for the binge drinking v e'r told L, _uch a problem.
This ceases to be nearly a mun,_li ot a problem when'
drinking is allowed to be an accepted part of life. People
won't cram all the drinking they can into a few hours each
night if it's treated as oir.,-tli'iri, you can do in moderation
at any time.
While Gainesville is far away from allowing vendors to sell
beer from pushcarts on -JL side. Alk it can learn a lot from a
nation that has elevated itmbibing to a cultural institution.

Letters to the Editor
Eastside ranking letter was incorrect
Editor: I think the following two state-
ments made in the opinions page Tuesday
are quite conflicting and amusing as they
are coming from the same person in the
same letter:
Statement 1: "How can you dare state
that the '40 percent of the impoverished
students' are not taking the credit exams?"
Statement 2: "Are you implying that
'white students in a poor neighborhood'
have solely bolstered Eastside High School
on the weight of their shoulders? I hardly
think so!"
I would suggest to Monique Dieuvil
that she pick an opinion and figure out
which side she is arguing for instead of
spitting words on a screen.
I also feel she is missing the point of
Weijia Xia's letter and final question to

Having graduated from there in 2000,
I must say that it is an unfortunate truth
that I could nearly count on two hands the
number of minorities present in our grad-
uating IB class of more than 100 students.
Which leads me to what should really
be the focus of the discussion here: How
do we attract more minorities to take the
stringent AP/IB college-prep classes?
As everyone is aware, high school is an
important springboard to a good college
education: It is my opinion that legislators
and administrators focused on improving
the minority enrollment at colleges like UF
should really be looking one level down:
at the often appalling state of America's
high schools. Then, perhaps, we could
experience the dramatic increases in colle-
giate minority enrollment that our nation
so desperately needs.

Gator Growl bill has lots of merit, but as many questions


O n Tuesday night, the
Student Senate passed
$340,000, over one-fourth
of current reserves, to cover the
cost of 24,000 "free" Gator Growl
tickets for UF students.
'Students can now feel relieved
that Student Government is fi-
nally doing something to benefit
them.
I will admit, however, that I
was one of the very few senators
who voted against this bill.
On the surface, the proposal
seems fantastic because it gives
back to the students, which SG
should be doing, but deep down I


feel there are issues with the bill.
First, I am concerned with
timing. Summer enrollment is
very light, especially during
Summer A.
Many students will not know
the cost of the bill, but will know
that Gator Growl tickets are free.
Secondly, $340,000 is being
spent to benefit 24,000 students,
about 50 percent of the stu-
dent population, for one night.
Instead, the money should be
invested into projects that will
benefit all students in the upcom-
ing years.
Reserves should be used to


Paul Einselen help capital
Speaking Out projects that
UF is work-
ing on. Just because the universi-
.ty has a long-term plan to expand
wireless Internet service does hot
mean SG cannot step in and help
expedite the process.
Finally "free" tickets do not
invest students with enough
interest.
If the lineup for Growl is not
up to students' standards, if other
plans arise, or if students are lazy
and want to sleep rather than go,
to Growl, they have rio incentive
to use their ticket or find another


student to give it to.
For example, less than two
weeks before IRHApalooza, stu-
dents had the opportunity to pick
up tickets from the University -
Box Office at no cost. The talent
lineup, time, date and location
were publicly known and adver-
tised.
Final numbers reveal that
5,000 student tickets were dis-
tributed, but only 2,500 individu-
als, not students, attended the
concert.
I will confess that I picked up
eight tickets, but did not use any
of them. If I had to pay a small fee


for the tickets however, I would
have picked up no more than
needed.
I had the opportunity to talk
.to students after the informa-
tion session the Growl staff had
Monday night, which sadly was
in low attendance by senators.
With the feedback I had
gathered from students prior to
Tuesday's meeting, I feel that
my initial vote against the bill
was for the best interest of all
students at the University:
Paul Einselen is the summer
replacement Student Senator for the
Broward/Rawlings residence area.

Cow shot over airplane


By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org

An Archer man was
arrested for aggravated
abuse and killing a cow
Wednesday, claiming the
animal posed a danger to
his airplane.
Frank Ogborn, of 3906
SW 154th St., shot a cow
Trolano that wandered onto his
property, fearing the animal
would damage his plane, reports state.
The Kitty Hawk Aviation owner allegedly
admitted to shooting the cow owned by Ricky
Buchholz, of 12614 SW Archer Road, three
times with his .45-caliber handgun.
The cow was on the facility's runway,
though it did riot seem to be causing dam-
age to the property, Alachua County Sheriff's
Office spokesman Jim Troiano said.
Buchholz said he does not know how the
cow left the property.


"I wasn't there when the cow got out,"
Buchholz said. "The cow got out this weekend."
Before resorting to his handgun, Ogbom
tried to dismiss the cow from his property two
other times, according to reports.
Ogbom reportedly "shooed" the cow to no
avail before grabbing his gun.
The airplane was about three to four times
the cow's size, Buchholz said.
"What other reasoning can you have for
shooting the damn thing," he said.
Ogbom told officers that another deputy
had previously told him he had the right to
shoot the cow in order to protect his property,
according to reports.
The cow has gotten out before and has not
caused any damage, Buchholz said.
"All you have to do is walk towards it, and
it'll run away from you," he said, adding that
Ogbom had seen him herd his cattle by just
walking behind them.
Ogbom was arrested and charged with kill-
ing and aggravated abuse of cattle.
The cow, who survived the" shooting, will be
put to sleep at owner's discretion, reports state.
The airplane sustained no damages.


City art festival returns


* MORE THAN 20,000 ARE EX-
PECTED TO ATTEND THE FIFTH
AVENUE ARTS FESTIVAL.

By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer

Local singers, dancers, stepping
teams, painters and other artists will
have their talent on display as more
than 20,000 people are expected to
converge on Gainesville's historic
Fifth Avenue District this weekend to
celebrate the city's diverse culture.
The 26th annual Fifth Avenue Arts
Festival in Gainesville is expected
to draw people from all over North
Florida, said NKwanda Jah, direc-
tor of the Cultural Arts Coalition of
Gainesville.
"[The festival] started as a commu-
nity activity to bring awareness to the
culture of the African-American com-
munity and to reflect the economic
history of the area," Jah said.
"The yearly event promotes the re-
, juvenation of the Fifth Avenue neigh-
borhood, he said.


This year's theme, "We Must
Survive in Order to Thrive," was
inspired by the historic struggle of
minorities in the area, he said.
Rhythm and Blues artist, Jon B,
who rose to fame in the 1990s and
writes songs for popular artists like
Toni Braxton and Az Yet, is scheduled
to perform Sunday.
"Believe me, it's all good."
NKwanda Jah
Cultural Arts Coalition of Gainesville
director

The festival, which will also have
food, children's games, petting ani-
mals froni the Santa Fe Community
College Teaching Zoo and booths
from different groups and organiza-
tions, will run from.Third to Seventh
Avenue on NW Sixth Street.
The Harn Museum of Art will also
have a booth at the two-day event.
., "Believe me, it's all good," Jah
said. "You can have fish for lunch
and barbecue for dinner. You can't go
wrong there."

N Christine Steffens, the Avenues' Fashion a Go-
go, examines the hated and celebrated fashion
trend of butt cleavage. Restaurant reviewer Jillian
Caballero discovers a local dive with a South-
western vegetarian spin.


: Next week, the Avenue will reveiw the
new Dave Matthews CD, "Stand Up" with
a CD give-away. We're bringing on new
beats and new writers featuring the cheap
beat- how to do Gainesville on a dime.


.' The first person to e-mail theAvenue@alligator.org and tell us
which writer our new sex columnist Mr. Lube is referencing in the
first line of his article will win a noogie kit from our pile of promo
stuff; this week's featured book "Automic Wedgies, Wet Willies
and Other Acts of Roguery" and an Adult Swim wool beanie.

FASHION A GO-GO s

Fashionista says of cleavage, 'No butts about it!'


Butt cleavage: hated or celebrated?
Both guys and girls.seem to straddle the line on
this issue. A divide by any other name would call this
trend lumber crack.
The euphemism emerged in 2002 when fashionistas don-
ning low-slung pants dared to bare a little more of the foul-
line. With this picnic of skin, some guys find a feast for the
eyes while others find a less-enticing snack.
Not all guys find it so. My friend Ryan said it only makes
him want to give those girls wedgies.
Brandishing a G-string in addition to the backeye-slit has
lowered the bar for tackiness yet another notch.
Ladies, do you actually think this looks good?
At dinner the other night, I had the misfortune of sitting


face to bum with a girl on a barstool whose cheeks were re-
vealed for all- to see. They were staring at me.
I pondered the many ways this was unsanitary.
If fashion condones it, it must be OK,
right?
Hmmm, I wonder if history will look
as favorably on butt cleavage as it does
on acid-washed -jeans and leisure suits. t
Your "Fashion a Go-Go" calls this fashion
a no-no.
However, there is no doubt the ass is making a new state-
ment it's chic, it's mod, it's vogue.
The flat-booty-less wave of the '90s is a thing of the past.
Thank goodness women no longer have to feel self-con-


scious about an ample derriere.
Let's celebrate the fanny.
But please, exercise caution. Some girls just don't know
when to say when.
Christine Remember, crack kills.
Steffens May I suggest a bit of self-censorship
fashion a Go-Go when it comes to superfluous skin folding
avenue@alligator.org over the waistband?
I can guarantee you will thank me
later.
Like all things, I have a feeling that this fad too shall pass,
much like the big, heavy metal hair of the '80s adorning my
middle school yearbook pictures. Let's just hope you don't
have to suffer the photographic evidence of this one.


'Atomic Wedgies' authors provoke lewd behavior


Atomic Wedgies, Wet Willies and
9s Other Acts of Roguery
T l, Greg Tananbaum
and Dan Martin


I was a slightly timid, sheltered, little
girl with very good manners. I did not
know what a Dutch oven was. I wasn't
aware that torture devices such as the
hertz donut existed.
Bathroom humor didn't make me laugh
then and doesn't make me laugh now.
But I'd be lying if I said Greg Tananbaum
and Dan Martin's book, "Atomic Wedgies,
Wet Willies and Other Acts of Roguery,"
did not impress me.


What I find delightful about this book
is the balance of practicality and absurdity
within each entry.
It's similar to "The Worst-Case
Scenario" series, only with wedgies .
Tananbaum and Martin
list 52 "acts of roguery" in
alphabetical order. They
provide definitions for
each act, like the flour
shower. While the intend-
ed victim is taking a shower, the rogue
holds a sack of flour over the shower and
. covers the victim in a sticky white paste.
They even have a pronunciation key so
you can pronounce purple nu rple without
embarrassment. -


Entries also offer diagrams for visual
learners, and rankings for each entry that
measure the degree of pain, annoyance,
embarrassment and difficulty.
For example, when performed correctly
the flour shower causes
Jayme a low degree of pain (2
Gough out of 10), a high degree,
Cff the Press of annoyance (a perfect
....10), some embarrass-
ment (4) and is rather
difficult to carry out (9 on the difficulty
scale).
Based on your skill and level of sadism,
you can determine which act of roguery is
right for you.
The authors include tips for execution.


For instance, did you know when execut-
ing a noogie on a tall person, you should
wait until the person is seated or hunched
over like when the victim is tying his
shoes.
Not to leave victims of roguery defense-
less, Tananbaum and Martin list possible
countermeasures for each attack.
They suggest victims take a proactive
stance. Wearing "a sturdy wool cap pro-
vides a simple and fashionable defense
against the Noogie."
This is a great book for the amateur
prankster, the defenseless victim or that
special someone who left his heart on the
elementary school playground along with
some kid's tightie-whitie waistband.


RESTAURANT REVIEW S

Dive dishes whole food


To get in touch with my inner'
ACR, I hit up Home On The
Range.
At first glance, if you're not over 40
years old, male and reading the paper,
this hole-in-the-wall brunch place
isn't for you.
They've got sim-
ple breakfast dishes
anyone could whip 1W
up at home. Their
1950s mismatching
flatware and d6cor
scream "I'm at Grandma's!"
After a few minutes of soaking up the
vibe, it turns out to be Grandma's
with a twist. You can hear and see ev-
erything going on in the kitchen, and
the service is casual.
But one thing doesn't match the
laid-back, home-style ambiance the
prices.
Just one egg with toast and grits
runs a whopping $3.95.
Clearly, the overhead isn't the cul-
prit of the steep prices so what is?
Range buys its produce from local
growers. Knowing that most of their
veggies are fresh and locally grown
makes me see it more like a southern
caf6.
Its board of specials offers about
eight seasonal entrees based on
what's fresh. They also change their
soups depending on what's available
- gazpacho in the summer and hot
stews in the winter.
Range hits the spot for the wealthy,
vegetarian cowboy.


Breakfast is mostly an egg or
tofu dish with some kind of healthy
Southwest twist..-The Tex on Toast
has basic scrambled eggs arid wheat
toast, topped with black beans, salsa
and cheddar, creating a tasty break-
fast sandwich for
Jillian $4.95.
Caballero While I found
Firgei Lickir, it surprisingly
r, ;a.- .;.i.,;,5]le- i .:r,: good, let's get
one thing straight
lettuce and to-
mato don't belong on a soggy break-
fast sandwich.
I tried the Vegetable Tart for lunch,
consisting of about six layers of thinly
sliced veggies piled on a mediocre pie
crust, baked and topped with sour
cream. It came with-green beans and
a small romaine salad.
I found the "Chicken Kitchen-
esque" curry-mustard dressing and
mushy tomatoes disappointing.
Also, serving a half-pound of let-
tuce on a 4-inch plate is not the best
move. Most of my salad ended up on
the table. While the food was bland,
I felt good about supporting local
farmers.
Range provides fresh, healthy
dishes for Southwestern vegetarians.
If you're looking for waffles and ba-
gels, they're not here. Home on the
Range is located at 401 NE 23"1 Ave.
Leave your debit and check cards
at home. The Range only accepts cash
and checks.


Hipp offers 'Intimate' display


F following a current trend of such
movies as "Magnolia" and "Crash,"
"Intimate Stories" accomplishes audi-
ence intrigue by intertwining the lives of
three main characters.
"Everyone believes in
something, though we all
go about it in different
ways," are the words of a
song in the picture, which th
wrap up Carlos Sorin's ar-
tistic and delicious slice-
of-life film.
The film is about a journey. Maria, a shy
wife and mother, Don Justo, a quirky old
man, and Roberto, a rather lovable, if eccen-
tric salesman, are all traveling to San Julian
from Fitz Roy,. a small town in Southern
Patagonia. They are each looking for some-
thing else, from a concrete prize, to a dog, to
the ultimate love.
The characters are content, as is the au-
dience, to continue without any dramatic
occurrence. This refreshing realism helps to
make the film a delightful vignette.
Without any direct conflict, the charac-
ters are all searching for something, things
don't necessarily work out according to
plan and, without batting a. lash, they learn
to compromise and be content.
Their separate voyages, desires and les-.
sons softly mingle along the road and create
a beautiful narrative. The characters' differ-
ences also blend rather stoically along the
way. Maria, played by Javiera Bravo, -does
nothing more than smile when she wins a


spot on a big game show. Antonio Benedictis,
as the character Don Justo, refuses to reveal
his intense loneliness until just before the
end even then maintaining his unwav-
ering expression. Roberto, performed by
Javier Lombardo, is calmly
Erin nervous about impressing
Chalfant a woman he likes.
Curtain Call The characters slowly
Cavenueralligator.org reveal their intimate stories
as tales- that are simulta-
neously, warm and heart-
breaking. The scenery of the countryside
also lends to the quietude of the characters
and the resulting mood of the movie.
Sorin wants to remind his audience that
we can enjoy- even the most uneventful
parts of life.
Simplicity is praised in this single-mird-
ed glimpse of life. Facial close-ups, ears that
wiggle and trick candles are the details that
make this movie tick.
The secondary characters encountered
along the way also add to the, warm-hearted
theme. These pure souls are striking in their
willingness to help the main characters suc-
ceed.
The good-natured biologist, the numer-
ous bakers and even the highway patrol all
leave the audience with an optimistic sense
of human oneness and goodwill.
"Intimate Stories" will show at The
Hippodrome from May 27 to June 2.
If it's not what you expected, don't be
disappointed it may be something better
in disguise.,

Negatively charged Alkaline Trio drains reviewer


W 4^ Alkaline Trio
Crimson
Vagrant Records
Release date:
May 24

Who gave Alkaline Trio
permission to enter a
recording studio and
spend thousands of hours produc-
ing its songs?
That's exactly how their new
album, "Crimson," sounds.
Overdone.
Few fans will recognize it even


as an Alkaline Trio album.
Sure, they still have the de-
pressing death lyrics but what
I'd like to know is where did the
punk guitars go? They've been
replaced with sound effects and
a piano.
The first song on the album
- including their first single
"Time to Waste"- begins with a
piano intro that just sets the tone
for a lack of upbeat guitars.
The next song, "The Poison,"
doesn't get any better. I had to
double check my compact disk


player. I thought it switched to
play "Queens of the Stone Age."
At least the
whole album
doesn't sound
manufactured.
"Mercy Me"
is one of the t
few songs remi-
niscent of the
Alkaline Trio we all know and
love. Some other songs lend the
album some credit like "Death
Bed," "Settle for Satin" and "I
was a Prayer."


But don't get your hopes up.
As the album goes on, after a run
of a few great
songs, "Prevent
Amanda this Tragedy"
Seyfang brings you back
Playlist full circle to the
avenue@alligator.org beginning.
I know they
still remember
where they come from. After all,
.they still reference Chicago and
San Francisco in "Mercy Me."
The Trio should have just put
all their experimental songs at


the beginning or end. It makes it
easier to skip that way.
My suggestion: download
"Death Bed," "Mercy Me," "Fall
Victim," "I was a Prayer" and
"Back to Hell." You won't have
to suffer through the synthesiz-
ers and sound effects on the rest
of the disk.
If you're a true Alkaline Trio
fan and you want to support
them, buy the album May 24.
But don't say you weren't
warned.

AUDIOLOGY [l

Staff suggests smooth sounds


-. .. Sunrise Over Sea
EiC The John Butler Trio
Lava


Don't be turned off by the
scraggly appearance of this
band's front man, John Butler.
"Sunrise Over Sea" is a must-
have for both the modern hippy
and general listeners.
Sure, he sneaks in some lyr-
ics about karma and treating
Mother Earth with respect, but
he also talks about relationships
and love.
Butler's smooth vocals are
backed by the unique sound of
his band, which uses a double
bass rather than a bass guitar.
Listen to the track "Peaches &
Cream" followed by "Zebra,"
and you'll get an idea of this
band's versatility in both sound-
and content.


E. Von Dahl Killed the
Locals
The Matches
Epitaph

This CD is a perfect addition
to a punk rock listener's reper-
toire. You can't help but fall in
love with The Matches' catchy
and upbeat sound, although
the energy from .their live per-
formances isn't quite as evident
in their recordings. Their lyrics
span from songs about touring to
jailbait. In "Say 18," for example,
"I got my fingers crossed/so say
18/lie through lip gloss/and .say
18, tonight." Pre-approved for
road trips and sing-a-longs.

Decadence
Head Automatica
Warner Brothers -


Daryl Palumbo, formerly of


Glassjaw, is the current front man
for the pop/rock brilliance that is
Head Automatica.
If you expect the singer to
sound as he did in his previous
band, .'Lu mj', want to just pick
up a Glassjaw CD.
But for those of you who are
open to a softer side of Palumbo,
"Decadence" should be a new
and happy beginning.
Like the CD jacket cover
of their debut album, Head
Automatica is colorful, flashy
and enticing.
Although their music is cat-
egorized as a pop/rock, there's
something edgy and uninhibited
about the band that you. don't
find in most other groups.
.And if you never pick up this
CD, at least listen to the track
"Beating Heart Baby," arguably a
work of pure pop genius.

JUNE CAPPIELLO


Facebook targets colleges

FACEBOOK, from page 9

girl's number blindly, before he could anonymously check her
facebook profile to make sure she was single and dug his kind
of music first.
Mark Zuckerburg, of Westchester, N.Y., started a.small Web
site for a laugh to find the hottest students at Harvard. The
site, Facemash.com, was shut down within .12 hours by the
administration. Citing privacy concerns, they also removed the
school's online campus directory.
In a Biblically reminiscent moment, Zuckerburg said he
could rebuild a better site in only one week. Thefacebook.com
launched the following week.
Within the next week, half of the Harvard undergraduates
had signed up and Zuckerburg enlisted his roommate, eco-
nomics major Dustin Moskovitz from Ocala, to help move the
site to other campuses. From then on Thefacebook.com grew
wildly.
"We never market anything," says Moskovitz. "Everything
is word-of-mouth."
Thefacebook crew selects schools to add based on requests
from students. Their money is made from advertisers that want
to target college students, including Ford Motor Co., Verizon
Wireless and MasterCard, and from stock investments.

Corsaletti: Lucky belt aids Gators in victory


Track gains 8

" STAFF REPORT

UF men's track and field coach Mike Holloway an-
nounced the signing of eight athletes to National Letters
of Intent.
Afolabi Aromire, Jeremy Criscione, Chris Gilchrist,
Eugene Martin, Kallinka Pitt, Kyle Pratt, Justin Taylor and
Chris Thomas each signed letters of intent to compete for
the Gators for the 2005-2006 season.
"I am very excited about this incoming class,"
Holloway said. "We have covered all areas sprints, field,
distance which is important to the continued success of
the program."
Aromire is considered one of the top 400m/800m run-
ners in the nation.
Criscione dominated Florida Class 2A state track and
field meets during his stint in high school.
One of the top sprinters in the country, Gilchrist has
been hand-timed at 10.4 in the 100m and sports bests of
21.28 in the 200m and 47.4 in the 400m.
Martin was one of the leading high jumpers in Florida
in 2005.
Taylor piled up six state titles in the last two seasons
while competing for St. Joseph's Academy.

"He got a ball out over the plate that wasn't sup-
posed to be there and LaPorta made us pay for it,"

Sophomore Jon Still doubled to left field to start the
inning and scored on a double by sophomore Shane
Jordan. Junior Brandon Paritz then delivered an RBI
single to right center to move the Hatters in front.

first base to complete an inning-ending double play.

out single. UF Junior Darren O'Day relieved pitcher
Stephen Locke and was greeted by Golliner's hit. For
the third inning in a row, the Gators used a double
play to work out of the jam.
The Gators (35-18) will travel to Nashville, Tenn.
at 10 a.m. today, not to return home for at least two
weeks. Following a crucial series at Vanderbilt, UF
will head to Birmingham, Ala. for the Southeastern
Conference Tournament.
At stake during the next two weekends are the
SEC All-Sports Trophy, SEC baseball championship
and NCAA postseason invitations.
UF sits at the top of the SEC entering the weekend
and is almost guaranteed a spot in the NCAA tourna-
ment. UF has also put in a bid to host the first two
rounds.
Winning the SEC regular season championship or
reaching the championship game of the tournament
puts UF in position to host a Super Regional round in
addition to the initial Regional bracket.


* Vanderbilt: From here on out,
Vanderbilt will not have a nick-
name or mascot because of its lack
of success in sports. Tickets will
no longer be available for football
games, because the team will play
in an empty stadium. "Not having
to prepare the stadium for fans will
allow us to save money and build a
new science lab," one official said.


So, next time you find offense
in the war chant, just remember
that it could be a lot worse. But the
Savages? That's plain racist.
Unless, of course, they can
prove the team is named after Fred
Savage.
That would make for an inter-
esting mascot.

Gators still consider Gamecocks a threat at NCAAs


_







Kim Klement/ Alligator
Hamid Mirzadeh and the Gators will look to duplicate the success
they had earlier against South Carolina in the NCAA Round of 16.


By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org

Repetition can cause things to
become second nature, and that's
when something can go wrong.
That is exactly what the UF
men's tennis team hopes to
avoid starting this Saturday at
the NCAA Championships in
College Station, Texas.
On Saturday, the No. 4-seed
Gators (22-5) will play South
Carolina (20-9), who upset
Oklahoma State over the week-
end to make it to the Round of
16. The Gators defeated South
Carolina 7-0 on April 16.
If UF defeats South Carolina,
a possible quarterfinal matchup
would be against Florida State
or Illinois, who has defeated UF
four times'in three seasons.
When asked if he wanted the
Illini in the quarterfinals, Coach
Andy Jackson was careful not to
look too far ahead.
-'Would I like to play Illinois in
the quarterfinals? Absolutely. I'd
like to play anyone in the quar-
terfinals," he said.
Jackson calls South Carolina
a "known factor" because UF
has played them so recently. But,
he warns that just because the
Gators swept the last meeting, it
doesn't mean UF dominated.
"A lot of times in tennis the
final score can be deceiving be-
cause the individual matches


can be really close," Jackson said.
"When w6 beat South Carolina
7-0...we won three three-set
matches. So if South Carolina
wins those three matches, and we
lose doubles, then they win."
It may be tempting to think UF
has a free pass into the next round
after drawing the Gamecocks, but
Jackson said his players expect a
difficult match.
"Our guys aren't expecting
anythingeasy."
Andy Jackson
UF men's tennis coach

"Our guys aren't expecting
anything easy," he said. "The
thing that we can control is that
SC will be super prepared. They
will be sharp, because it's pretty
easy to- play a team that the last
time you played them you got
beat 7-0."
The Gators have a veteran
team, but two freshmen have
made their way into the lineup.
Nestor Briceno and Greg
Ouellette have spent their singles
season on courts two and four,
respectively. After standout ju-
nior Janne Holmia was out for
the season after back surgery,
the two became crucial to UF's
success.
Jackson said Briceno and
Ouellette were two of the best
college recruits in the country,
and while their play is not sur-


prising, the way they have done
it is.
"They have surprised me with
the level at which they can nrake
a contributionn" Jackson said.
"Did I think they were going to
have the records and be able do
what they've done, particularly
making up for losing Holmia?
I wouldn't have expected that.
That would have been too much
pressure on them."

no threat whatsoever on its own field in its
own conference postseason tournament.
But the Gators don't truly have an attitude
problem, they just need to buckle down and get
back to the fundamentals of softball, Johns said.
Only then will the mental adjustments
fall into place.
Broken down technically, this week's
preparation is quite simple.
"Early in practice we've been working
fundamentals, but then we move into the
situational stuff," Johns said. "We're.put-

them to communicate."
John's players have completely bought

things together. We played sloppy defense
and we couldn't get runs when we needed
them," pitcher and designated player

this week; the mental mistakes will- correct
themselves.
"As a team leader, I've got to keep everyone

everyone knows what they need to do now."

NCAA MEN'S AND WOMEN'S GOLF

Senior leads UF into 12th spot


THE MEN'S TEAM WILL
START NCAA PLAY TODAY.

STAFF REPORT

For the first time all spring, the
fab four UF first-year golfers are
actually playing like freshmen.
t only took college golf's grand-
est stage, the NCAA Championship,
to trip up Tiffany Chudy, Whitney
Myers, Sandra Gal and C.J. Kim,
the highest-rated freshmen group
according to Golfstat.
Instead, a senior paced the
Gators in the opening rounds.
Led by Andrea Vander Lende,
the UF women's golf team is in a
tie for 12th following Wednesday's
-second round.
Auburn and Pepperdine hold
the lead at +18 on the Meadow
Course in Sunriver, Ore., 19 shots
- ahead of the Gators. '
That deficit would be greater if
not for Vander Lende, the only UF


golfer in the top 20.
She collected five birdies over
her first 36 holes, finishing on
Wednesday at 5-over-par in a tie
for 14th, just three shots behind the
lead pack of four golfers.
But the senior's strong play
didn't rub off on the UF freshmen.
Chudy fired the low rounds
among the quartet on both Tiesday
and Wednesday, but a first-round
74 followed up with a 75 puts her in
a tie for 23rd at 7-over-par.
Kim remains three shots behind
Chudy after recording rounds of 75
and 77, placing her in a tie for 53rd.
Gal and Myers, the two hottest
UF golfers during the postseason,
struggled during the first two days.
Gal, who led UF with a tie for
tenth at the NCAA East Regional,
combined rounds of 79 and 78 to
total +15 and finish tied for 94th.
The runner-up at the
Southeastern Conference
Championship, Myers entered
Wednesday tied with Gal, but shot


a 9-over-par 80 to fall into a tie for
109th.
MEN'S GOLF: The UF men's golf
team will start play in the NCAA
East Regional today, held at The Golf
Club of Tennessee in Nashville.
The Gators are seeded third be-
hind Georgia and Georgia Tech.
UF will have to finish in the top
10 out of 27 teams to advance to
the NCAA Championships, held at
the Caves Valley Country Club in
Baltimore, from May 31-June 3.
The Gators have fared well at
the region championships in, recent
years, having placed among the top
five teams in 12 of 16 region cham-
pionships and also in five of the last
seven.
UF has two region champion-
ships to its credit after winning the
East title in 1992 with a 10-over 874
at the event in Hamilton, N.Y., and
also taking home the East title in
1989 in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.,
with a score of 872 (+8).

LaPorta carries Gators to victory against Stetson


By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org


Matt LaPorta has broad shoulders. Good
thing for him, because otherwise it would
be difficult to carry the team.
Maybe that's an overstatement, but his
bat has been known to'provide a spark for
the No. 12-ranked Gators when the team
needs it most.
"He got a ball out over the. plate
that wasn't supposed to- be
there and LaPorta made us pay
for it."
Pete Dunn
Stetson baseball coach

Wednesday night against Stetson, his
glove jump-started a stagnant team that ap-
peared to be headed for defeat. He would
next put the Gators ahead with a two-out,
two-run home run, which led UF to a 6-4
victory over the Hatters.
"Today, coming out for [batting prac-
tice], I was real sluggish," LaPorta said.
"I just asked God to help me through this
because I was real lethargic today."
In the top of the eighth inning, LaPorta
made an impressive play on a sharply hit
ground ball by Braedyn Pruitt to start a


double play.
"Matt LaPorta's defensive play and then
the ball he hit out was a big catalyst for us,"
head coach Pat McMahon said. "I think a
big factor was that we kept ourselves very
close for that to happen. We have a lot of
respect for Stetson and their program; they
have a very-good ballclub. Their pitcher
tonight was outstanding."
UF senior center fielder Jeff Corsaletti
ended a 0-for-15 slump with a single in the
sixth inning. After the game, he credited his
success to a lucky belt.
"When we traveled, I left my belt at my
house," Corsaletti said. "I forgot to bring it
to the field for the last two weeks. I brought
my lucky belt in, got a couple of knocks and
we brought the win home. It's good head-
ing into the final weekend of the season."
Stetson starter Chris Ingoglia pitched six
innings, allowing three runs on nine hits.
He was in position to win the game when
Hatters coach Pete Dunn removed him in
the seventh.
"It's disappointing," Dunn said. "We
scheduled this game because we wanted
to come up here to play, and we had every
opportunity to win. They hung in there to
a point where they had a chance to win in
the late innings. LaPorta stepped up big for
them again."
The home run was LaPorta's 21st of the
season.

Outdated names deserve review


In the ever-growing war between UF
and-Florida State for state supremacy,
an odd turn of events could give the
Gators a leg up in the heated rivalry.
In a possible, albeit unlikely, sce-
nario, FSU may be forced to drop the
Seminoles nickname. Talk about a nasty
blow to garnet-and-gold pride.
An NCAA executive committee will
evaluate the 30 teams in the NCAA that
use Native American nicknames and
mascots before deciding whether it will
force the teams to adapt new names.
Rumor has it that the governor
is already lobbying to rename, the
Tallahassee-based team the Jebs! (excla-
mation mark included).
In the end, this is just another example
of political correctness gone out of whack.
With the exception of the Southeast
Oklahoma State Savages (opps), most
nicknames preserve the memory of Native
American tribes that are all but extinct.
But what would happen if we threw
political correctness out the window and
renamed teams whose nicknames seem
simply outdated? Let me show you:

* Alabama: What does the Crimson


i &. Tide have to do

:' When was the
last time you
saw an elephant,

Abramo Tuscaloosa?

Drew's Control will now be known
aabramson@alligator.org asthe Inebriatators.
The mascot? His
name is Bud. He's 6 feet tall, resides in
Selma and wears a wife beater complete
with beer and vomit stains. Whenever
the opponent scores at football games,
Bud takes off his belt and grabs a
branch off a tree and starts pacing an-
grily around the stadium in a drunken
stupor.

* California: I once asked a Cal student if
there really is a Golden Bear, and he told
me the only Golden Bears at Berkeley
are the ones he plays with after hours at
the hookah. So, we're going to embrace
the Northern California culture, renam-
ing the team the Doobies. The mascot is

One game at a time.
That, according to head coach
Karen Johns and many of her
players, is how the UF softball
team will approach their opening
match of the NCAA Regionals
with Bethune-Cookman Friday
afternoon..
The ailing Gators, just days
off of a two-and-out performance,
in the Southeastern Conference
tournament, won't be looking
back at any of their recent woes.
"Obviously we're disappoint-
ed, but we can't look back at this
point," Johns said. "We've just
got to work on getting back our
strength and go from there."


Chosen as one of the 16 re-
gional sites in the tournament,
UF will host UCF, USF and
Bethune-Cookman. The Gators
have seen and defeated two of
the three teams this season, but
this squad is not taking anything
for granted.
"Because of our struggles, we
can't be thinking about the world
series; in fact, the "WS" word
isn't even being. mentioned,"
Johns said. "It's beating Bethune-
Cookman, and that's it. We don't
talk about Saturday, we don't talk
about Sunday.
"We've been assuming that
things were going to happen, as-
suming that people were going to
do things on the field, and they
haven't. Maybe day-to-day or
week-to-week, but never consis-
tently."
It's these kind of assumptions

Gators prepare for Round of 16


Whitney Benik is one of UF's three freshmen players that have
held theteam together after would-be senior Alexis Gordon left.


* UF HAS ALREADY MADE IT
FURTHER THAN LAST YEAR.

By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org

Rarely in sports does a team get
a chance to right a previous wrong,
but this year the Gators may have
that chance.
Both teams had top seeds and the
first two rounds at home. They even
played teams from the same confer-
ence in the first round and a school
from South Florida in the second.
And this year, same as the last, the
championships are being held in
Athens, Ga.
However, last year's team fell
apart in the second round and never
got a chance to defend their 2003 title.
That changes tonight, when the'No.
2-seeded Gators (20-2) .meet No. 15
Baylor (24-5) in Athens.
The two teams have met be-
fore, but rain canceled their Jan.
22 match after UF swept doubles.
Coach Roland Thomqvist said UF
should have the edge in doubles,
but the teams are evenly matched
in singles.
But for the next four days UF
will play top competition, and fa-
tigue could be an issue. Thornqvist
has confidence that his squad will
handle it.


"On a physical level, we're ready
for four days," he said. "That's not
going to be the issue. It's, 'Are we
good enough?' It's not, 'Are we fit
enough?' We'll be the fittest team in
Georgia, no question about it."
The Gators' three freshmen have
been tremendous this season, one
season after losing three players that
were key to UF's last national cham-
pionship. One of
them, Whitney
Benik, also thinks
the team is ready
for Athens.
"I think we're
as confident as
we can get, defi-
Magtley nitely," she said.
"We've worked so hard, I don't think
any team has worked so hard."
With Alexis Gordon leaving
prior to her senior season, Zerene
Reyes is the only senior in a lineup
dominated by youth. Thornqvist said
Benik, along with freshmen Lolita
Frangulyan and Alex Liles, have held
up well. When UF could have taken.
a year off to rebuild, they simply
reloaded.
One player who has stepped into
a new role is junior Jennifer Magley.
After playing behind Gordon on
court two in 2004, Magley has em-
braced her new spot, compiling a 12-
3 record in dual-match play. Ranked
fifth in singles nationally, she and


Reyes are also ninth in doubles.
Thomqvist said Magley's growth
from playing on court six as a fresh-
man to now has been big for UF.
"I think Jennifer has done a
tremendous job, stepping up play-
ing one for the first time," he said.
"And she's made a good transition
in her career from six to two...You
can be a very good player and be
successful playing number two. But
it's a big step to go play one in the
[Southeastern Conference] and do
what she's been able to do first time
around."
If the Gators win Thursday, they
will play the winner of Southern
California and UCLA on Friday.

THURSDAY, MAY 19,2005 Peps deal means Coke no longer the one N THE AGREEMENT ENDS 40 YEARS OF COKE ON CAMPUS. By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH Alligator Contributing Writer The bubble has burst for Coke on campus. After 40 years of business, UF will part ways with Coca-Cola as the official soft-drink provider of the Florida Gators. Dramatic changes are anticipated at UF after university officials signed a 10-year, exclusive agreement with The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. on Monday. The contract begins Aug. 16, putting a new taste in the mouths of Gators. "I think students are going to be excited for new products and our support for UF," said Kelly McAndrew, a spokeswoman for The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. "Our goal is to reach out not just to UF but the Gainesville community as well." McAndrew said the greatest characteristic of the agreement is Pepsi's broad portfolio of products, which includes Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Aquafina bottled water, Tropicana juice drinks, Dole 100% Juice, Lipton Iced Tea, SoBe juice drinks and teas, and Starbucks Frappuccinos. XIH ealthC a re, Gator Dining Services and the University A t h 1 e t i c Association also Poppell joined the exclusive agreement, McAndrew said. When asked about the value of the contract, McAndrew said Pepsi's policy prohibits the release of any financial information to the customers. In a press release, Jeremy Foley, UF athletics director, said, "Pepsi will activate its University of Florida sponsorship with phenomenal marketing efforts in the Gator community, state and in the Southeast."

The Coke products he serves soon will be replaced due to a new contract with Pepsi. u sGrowl grant By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org The Growl has gotten deeper. A Student Senate bill allocating more than $300,000 for the Florida Blue Key-run Gator Growl pep rally not only survived its first vote at Tuesday's meeting -it grew by $20,000. An eleventh-hour amendment authored by Sen. Kevin Bacon brought Student Government's total contribution to this year's Growl to $340,000. "My amendment is necessary to ensure that every student can go to Gator Growl for free," Bacon said. "The $340,000 we have to allocate is just to make sure the students can get in for free." The addition will allow 24,000 students to attend without having to pay out-of-pocket, instead of 20,000. Last year, more Student than 48,000 stuGovernment dents attended UF, but only 12,000 of them bought tickets to the rally. SG's initial contribution of $140,000, which will cover programming, technical and'functioning costs for Growl, will come out of reserves, which itself derives from Activity & Service fees taken from tuition. .In the 2005-06 school year, students will pay $8.66 in A&S fees per credit hour. SEE GROWL, PAGE 5 ADMINISTRATION Four finalists left standing By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org The search for UF's next provost and President Bernie Machen's administrative "teammate" has been narrowed down to four. Following two days of extensive interviews and analysis, UF's Provost Search Committee selected three candidates from its. pool of five Wednesday to recommend to Machen in addition to a candidate chosen earlier. Raymond Alden III, Janie Fouke and David Watt will join UF's Pramod Khargonekar as the final candidates for Machen to consider for UF's next No. 2 administrator -a decision expected to be reached by June 1. Alden and Watt respectively are provost and associate provost at other universities, and both Khargonekar and Fouke respectively are College of Engineering deans at UF and Michigan State. "We have an incredible group of people," committee chairman Doug Barrett said before announcing which candidates he said seemed to be the top choices of the other committee members.

STUDENT LIFE ANtinists Iin $10K from MTaV By CRISTYLE WOOD Alligator Writer Human Rights Awareness on Campus, a student organization created in March, won a $10,000 Darfur Activism Award from mtvU, an MTV channel geared toward college students. The grant, which was provided by the Reebok Human Rights Foundation, was awarded to the best start-up organization focusing on Darfur. Georgetown University received the top award, receiving $40,000 for best-established organization focusing on Darfur. Nikolas Wolfe, HRAC president, and Rochelle Meddoff, who serves as HRAC treasurer, formed the group after being given an assignment by their African Politics teacher, Robert Uttaro. The students were each given a stamped envelope and told they could write to their grandmother, send Spring Break pictures or write to their senator or congressman about the inhumane events taking place in Sudan, said Wolfe, a 19year-old political science and engineering major. This assignment, inspired by an article in the New York Times, led Wolfe to "ignite a spark that was already there," he said. Wolfe said he gathered names of people interested in helping Darfur victims and reached about 50 people interested in the issue. HRAC, which has been an official student club for eight weeks, turned out 1,100 people -the highest turnout ever -for a movie showing in the Reitz Union, Wolfe said. The group premiered "Hotel Rwanda," which depicts the struggle of more than a thousand Tutsi refugees against the Hutu militia in Rwanda. The group, which now has about 150 members, has also conducted a massive letter writing campaign, sending more than 1,500 letters to politicians from congressmen and senators to the president, said Wolfe, who said he first gained interest in Darfur after attending a seminar on the western Sudan region in 2004. Wolfe said he hopes to use the award winnings to "expand HRAC's horizons" by donating to aid organizations, using the funds to further HRAC's involvwnent and membership, using the recognition to promote activism and to become a non-profit organization. Until now, everything has been paid for out-of-pocket, he said. Wolfe gave much credit of the win to the many members, supporters, friends, and family that voted for HRAC oniine after being selected as one of the three finalists. "I guess it was to see who had the most motivated group of people," he said.

The Culture and Environment SubCommttee, an~ am of the Alachua County Alcohol Coalition, wants to "combat feelings UF is trying to take something away from the students," chairman Jess Johnson said. The committee is using research by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in compiling a checklist of interventions. These are divided into four tiers ranging from most effective, which includes one-on-one focus, to less effective practices, like alcohol education. "Every campus and community is different," said Johnson, who added difficulties involve time and resource restraints. "We are trying to make the UP experience a better one, not tae away from it," he said.

4, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 Commissioner dispels myths about homelessness K IN MARCH, LONG SPENT 48 HOURS ON THE STREET TO CALL FOR ATTENTION. By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer lewis@alligator.org The majority of homeless are women and children, despite the misconception that homelessness is most prevalent among white males with substance-abuse problems, Alachua County Commissioner Rodney Long said Wednesday. Long was one of three guest speakers addressing the Alachua County Young Democrats about Gainesville's homeless issue. "People making decisions don't understand the problem, because they're making decisions based on misinformation, fear and politics," Long said. The meeting, which was held at the Voodoo Lounge in downtown Gainesville,was organizedbyACYD President Jeanna Mastrodicasa, who is also an assistant director of UF's Honors Program. ACYD holds monthly meetings to discuss local politics, but homelessness seemed like an "especially" relevant issue, Mastrodicasa said. Jonathan Greenwood / Alligator Alachua County Commissioner Rodney Long muses on the chronic issues of homelessness in his speech before the Alachua County Young Democrats on Wednesday. "We're covering this because Alachua County," she said. when he spent 48 hours living on it's a timely topic, and we have a Long recently learned firsthand the streets and interviewing local significant homeless population in what it was like to be homeless, homeless people. "In America, homelessness is probably one of the worst crises that I have seen in my lifetime," he said. He pinpointed the vulnerability of former prisoners who become homeless, claiming that government bureaucracy limits their chances of prosperity. The meeting also hosted Beth 0' Grady of the Alachua County Coalition for the Homeless and Hungry, swell as Sharon Chenault of the Gainesville Community Ministry. There are about 900 people without homes in Alachua County, many of whom are young children, O'Grady said. "The average age of a homeless person here is nine," she said. She and Chenault also dicussed the increasing problem of local residents shunning the homeless population. "When I went to college in the '60s, we were fighting blindess and ignorance," Chenault said. "Now people know about this problem, but they're turning their back to it." Responding to questions,r ong stressed an urgent need for reform in political arenas. "We've got a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound," Long said. "We've got to understand that this is all of our problem." Upcoming hurricane season finds mixed preparedness Residents have few storm plans By CRYSTAL HENRY Alligator Writer chenry@alligator.org With the start of hurricane season less than two weeks away and forecasters predicting a repeat of last year, a large percentage of Floridians still have no plan of safety, said a spokesman for the National Weather Service. This year could bring as many as 15 tropical storms, with about half of those storms possibly developing into hurricanes and up to five of those hurricanes becoming major storm systems, said Frank Lepore, a weather service spokesman. And 30 percent of Florida's residents are not prepared, said Lepore, citing arrecent Mason-Dixon poll that reported just 70 percent of Floridians had a plan in case of a hurricane. Lepore, a 1974 U graduate, said it is not the hurricanes that concern him but the unprepared people in Florida. President Bush declared this week National Hurricane Preparedness Week, and Floridians need to get a plan of action in place for hurricane season, wh begins June 1, said Lepore. Last year, the Department of Housing and Residence Education had to scramble when dorms suffered damages from two hurricanes that passed through Gainesville.' Beaty Towers West was hit the worst, with the flooding of its 14th floor, said Sharon Blansett, assistant director of student housing. iF students Erin Hoeft and Becky Ramsay were suitemates Ion the flooded floor. Hoeft was worried the damp carpet would cultivate mold and agitate Ramsay's asthma condition. Butthe carpet in Ramsay's suite was replaced, and her athsma was not affected, said Hoeft. Hoeft's carpet, which had less damage, was never replaced. Merritt Bresnahan, a nutritional science major, said her room on the 11th floor of Beaty West also flooded. Her carpet was cleaned but didn't dry well enough, she said She and her roommate had to wear shoes to walk on their squishy carpet, and the room started to smell musty. "If it smells moldy, it's moldy." James Kimbrough fungi and mold expert They bought deodorizers to try to overpower the moldy smell. James Kimbrough, a mycologist who has worked in-the Department of Plant Pathology for 40 years, said that if mold was suspected, the housing department should have tested for it. "If it smells moldy, it's moldy," said Kimbrough, an expert on fungi and mold. Blansett said the housing department only tests for mold at the students' requests or if the housing staff has concerns. She said the housing department received no requests from students, and the staff did not see.any need to test for mold after the hurricanes last fall, therefore no tests were done. There were many reasons for Beaty West getting hit hard in the storms, according to Blansett. The windows in the dorms are rated for high-powered winds but not hurricane-force winds, she said. Stores stock in advance for impending storms By MELISSA GARCIA Alligator Contributing Writer Although hurricane season does not officially begin until June 1, local grocery stores are already preparing for the worst. Publix manufacturing facilities and. Albertsons stores in Gainesville ordered excess hurricane supplies weeks in advance to ensure an adequate inventory for this year's storm season. Forecasters predict thehurricane season will be as active and destructive as last season, according to the National Weather Service Web site. When Florida was pummeled by Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne in 2004, the Publix at 3100 SW 35th Blvd. and many other stores ran out of essential items like bottled water and milk. The stores' inventories were depleted by the hurricane season frenzy and could not be restocked when deliveries were hindered by violent weather. Publix Super Markets, Inc. began working on both internal and external communication plans immediately after last year's hurricane season to prevent this scenario from recurring, said Dwaine Stevens, manager of media and community relations for the Jacksonville division. "We did learn a lot from last year," Stevens said. Publix owns dairy manufacturing facilities in Atlanta, Lakeland and Deerfield Beach that are stocking a surplus of water and milk to ship to stores with depleted inventories, Stevens said. If in-state facilities are depleted, the corporation would turn to its out-of-state facilities. If out-of-state facilities could' not help, then Publix would authorize local vendors to help supply needed products, Stevens said. Jesse Sutton, assistant grocery manager of the 35th Boulevard Publix, said manufacturing facilities looked at last year's sales to determine how much' supplies needed to be increased for this season. His store normally receives six shipments a week, but Sutton said he expects additional delivery trucks over the next few weeks with excess shipments of water. -However, supply shortages were not the only reason shelves were empty last hurricane season. Most shipment delays were a result of the extreme weather, Sutton said. The Department of Transportation did not allow delivery trucks on the roads when winds exceeded 45 mph, he said. 'Since last season, Publix has worked to maintain and improve relations and communications with the local power agencies that service its stores, Stevens said. Lengthy power outages during a storm can spoil large amounts of food. "We have learned not to stock stores full of perishable foods and are trying to tell people to have more stable items in their homes," Around Stevens said. GaieSville Power outages wefe not a problem for Albertsons last year because the store is powered by its own generator, said Melissa Lawrence, drug manager of the Albertsons at 3930 SW Archer Road. Lawrence, from Key West, said she hs never experienced a hurricane season in Gainesville. "I heard how bad last year was," she said. "I'm already starting to order supplies now to make sure I'm prepared for what may or may not come." Lawrence stocked extra case lots of items as they are sold by manufacturers. For example, her extra order for lantern fuel included 96 more cases than before, she said. In addition to lantern fuel, her list of hurricane supplies in high demand includes water, charcoal and candles, she said. The early preparation and surplus could be needed since the Florida Legislature unanimously voted for a sales-tax holiday on hurricane supplies from June 1 through June 12. Items such as batteries, gas tanks, coolers, portable radios, tarps and generators will be tax-free to promote hurricane preparedness for consumers. Hurricane ,Preparedness Week began May 15, and families are encouraged to have a family plan, create a disaster supply kit and secure their homes for flooding and violent winds, according to the National Weather Service Web site. For a list of important disaster kit items 'and other information on hurricane preparation, visit the National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center Web site at www.nhc.noaa.gov.

THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 New contract may mean decrease in revenue from ardent Coke fans PEPSI, from page 1 "This partnership will fund several important programs throughout the campus," Foley said. Pepsi's deal with UF goes beyond just the sale of its products on campus, however. "We wanted a broad partnership, one that will enrich student and faculty life, enhance athletics, invigorate the alumni of UF and involve the communities we jointly serve," Jim Keown, senior vice president and general manager of PBG's Southeast Business Unit, said in a press release. While Pepsi prepares to flood the UF market, Coca-Cola is focusing on a trouble-free departure. "Our transition plan will be smooth for the university," said Michelle Holcomb, spokeswoman for the Florida Coca-Cola Bottling Co. "But we have yet to determine committed to the development in any specific details." education in Gainesville." Those details will be ironed out While the change may inconvewith UF somewhere toward the end of the contract; she said. Despite UF severing the fourdecade-long relationship, CocaCola remains dedicated to serving its loyal Gator customers. "We want to provide our valued customers with the highest quality of service no matter where they are," Holcomb said. "We are very Proposal drops SG as official sponsor GROWAL from page I The amendment also drops SG as official sponsor of the event, as the bill suggested; however, SG may have a 30to 60-second advertisement during the production. Advertisements for the event will read, "Student tickets funded by SG." The bill will go on to a second reading next week. In 2004, FBK lost $181,000 on the rally due to poor attendance after paying $135,000 to comedians Bill Engvall and Dane Cook. FBK covered the debt. However, that debt has ramifications for the 2005 show. Growl's starting budget of $30,000 is lower than previous years of about $100,000, Student Senate President Diane Kassim said. This year's Homecoming and Gator Growl budget is $584,000, compared with last year's figure of $720,000. The cuts prompted Gator Growl staff to ask SG for $150,000 to add to the talent and technical budgets for the show. Despite the sizeable contribution, which makes up about 58 percent of this year's total budget, SG will have no creative control over Growl. At first, Bacon said he had doubts aboit the bill. "It seemed like a lot of money to me," he said. "In the beginning, I wasn't sure if this was going to benefit students." Then he added, "I really think I figured it out." Bacon's addition to the bill makes the sliding scale a little more level for all students. The bill's old version stopped incrementing money to Gator *Growl organizers after the 17,778th ticket was distributed. Under the new plan, the incentive for Gator Growl to sell tickets continues until the 24,001st ticket is "purchased," as the remaining $200,000 will be given incrementally to FBK as the student tickets are picked up. Only four out of the 40 members of the Gator Growl team are members of FBK. Despite swallowing the loss of last year's event, Associate Director of Student Activities Chris Cupoll confirmed that FBK couldn't make a profit on the 2005 show. "If there's money left over, that money stays in the (Reitz) Union's Gator Growl account," he said. "It doesn't go to FBK." Cupoli added that students need to speak up if they do not agree with the measure. FBK Vice President Chris Carmody said running Gator Growl is a tough gig. "It's such high expectations," he said. "It's not like the Oscars. It's like running a prom, and if it's a really great prom, you won't hear one word." Kassim said that, without SG's contribution, Growl 'was going to be "like a high school pep rally.", "I thought [the contribution] was an amazing way to show everyday students that the A&S fees are going to work for them," she said. Robert Carmody, the director of Gator Growl 2005, said that with SG's contribution, fireworks will make an appearance at this year's show. Carmody added he is confident that his production will be success. "I expect the show to go down in history," he said. nience those students and faculty partial to Coca-Cola, the university also may face difficult changes. Richard J. Lutz, a UF marketing professor, said in the short run, UF may see a slump in revenue because loyal Coca-Cola drinkers' would rather buy a Coke from across the street.

While students prepare their tastebuds for an assortment of Pepsi beverages, one Coca-Cola employee admits the change will take some getting used to.

Machen will name winner PROVOST, from page 1 Following the meeting, he called Machen to tell him of the committee's recommendations. "The ball is in his court," Barrett said. The committee discussed keeping Steve Leslie around although his name was not forwarded to Machen. "The odds are extremely high we'll lose at least one of the three," committee member Robert Jerry said. The next provost will replace Interim Provost Joe Glover, who assumed the position in December after David Colburn stepped down from the position in 2004. The remaining candidates are expected to return to UF for further interviews from May 23 to May 26, in which Machen will decide who fits best with his vision for the university.

6, ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 End of an epic For our sake, we hope the Force stays with us any absolutes have been said about the "Star Wars" films in the past almost three decades since "A New Hope" debuted -epic, iconic, timeless. But some say that as of today, the Force stops here. While we're sure the commuters on Los Angeles' Hollywood Boulevard will be happier no longer having to dodge Jedi and Stormtroopers, as they've done for the past month, today's premiere of "Revenge of the Sith" will be a bittersweet experience for fans worldwide. As creator and director George Lucas has declined to cast any scrap of. hope to fans about releasing the epic's three final chapters, this third prequel and last installment, though largely predictable to anyone who's seen the first three films, is arguably no less eagerly anticipated than its counterpart, "Return of the Jedi," was in 1983. And like "Jedi," the ink granted to "Sith" may as well be called accolades rather than reviews. Though the two previous prequels have had their shortcomings -do we even have to say his name? -reviews of "Sith" have been near-universally glowing: But it's not a case of all that's old being new again -"Star Wars" never dropped out of pop cultural-icon status. Walk into any mall and you can find everything from T-shirts with anything from hunky new Obi-Wan Kenobi Ewan McGregor to the promotional poster for "Hope" printed on them to authentically replicated lightsabers to costumes, Halloween season or not. Last month, a "Star Wars" convention in Indianapolis drew more than 30,000 fans from around the globe. Gainesville City Commissioner Rick Bryant has mentioned how the "Star Wars" films played a part in his bonding with his three kids. And just Tuesday night, a few of us paid tribute by singing Weird Al Yankovic's "The Saga Begins" at the Salty Dog. Beyond their all-star casts, the two other prequels, "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" were accused of at times being little more than show ponies of Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic. -But so far as we're concerned, the movies could've been made using cardboard cutouts and still would have had cultural significance. Though ILM is credited with changing the way movies are made -motion-control photography, blue-screen special effects, etc. -starting with "Hope," Lucas' films alwayswere hailed as iconic not for their newfangled smoke and mirrors, but for their characters and epic breadth. Who among us didn't gasp when Quintessential Bad Guy Darth Vader walked into the first frame of "Hope"? Who among us isn't haunted by the vision that greets Luke Skywalker when he returned to find Stormtroopers had made it to his aunt's and uncle's farm before he did? Who didn't bite their nails as the Rebel fleet faced the Empire's Death Star, cheer when Yoda finally got to wield a lightsaber or cry when it seemed Han Solo and Princess Leia would never see each other again as he was frozen into that block of carbonite? As they had for more than a decade without a new chapter, so the films will endure after "Sith." They live on in Harvard University's "AnAnthropologist Looks at Science Fiction" class. They live on as countless spin-off novels and comic books shelved all around the world. They live on in the works of other filmmakers -amateur and Mel Brooks alike. So while today will mark our final new voyage to that galaxy far, far away, with us, strong will the Force remain. ,Ora e-indIpedent florida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Letters to the Editor Eastside ranking letter was incorrect Editor: I think the following two statements made in the opinions page Tuesday are quite conflicting and amusing as they are coming from the same person in the same letter: Statement 1: "How can you dare state that the '40 percent of the impoverished students' are not taking the credit exams?" Statement 2: "Are you implying that 'white students in a poor neighborhood' have solely bolstered Eastside High School on the weight of their shoulders? I hardly think so!" I would suggest to Monique Dieuvil that she pick an opinion and figure out which side she is arguing for instead of spitting words on a screen.

THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 7 Having graduated from there in 2000, I must say that it is an unfortunate truth that I could nearly count on two hands the number of minorities present in our graduating IB class of more than 100 students. Which leads me to what should really be the focus of the discussion here: How do we attract more minorities to take the stringent AP/IB college-prep classes? As everyone is aware, high school is an important springboard to a good college education. It is my opinion that legislators and administrators focused on improving the minority enrollment at colleges Jike UF should really be looking one level down: at the often appalling state of America's high schools. Then, perhaps, we could experience the dramatic increases in collegiate minority enrollment that our nation so desperately needs. Kris Shrestha 5EG Guest column Gator Growl bill has lots of rnerit, but as many questions O n Tuesday night, the Student Senate passed $340,000, over one-fourth of current reserves, to cover the cost of 24,000 "free" Gator Growl tickets for UF students. Students can now feel relieved that Student Government is finally doing something to benefit them. I will admit, however, that I was one of the very few senators who voted against this bill. On the surface, the proposal seems fantastic because it gives back to the students, which SG should be doing, but deep down I Chip Williams feel there are issues with the bill. First, I am concerned with timing. Summer enrollment is very light, especially during Summer-A. Many students will not know the cost of the bill, but will know that Gator Growl tickets are free. Secondly, $340,000 is being spent to benefit 24,000 students, about 50 percent of the student population, for one night. Instead, the money should be invested into projects that will benefit all students in the upcoming years. Reserves should be used to "Students need Health Insurance. Help protect yourself from the rising cost of medical services. You deserve quality health insurance coverage, and it is available for you. We at Chip Williams & Associates will help you acquire that insurance." WE FIND ANSWERS.

Just because the university has a long-term plan to expand wireless Internet service does not mean SG cannot step in and help expedite the process. Finally, "free" tickets do not invest students with enough interest. If the lineup for Growl is not up to students' standards, if other plans arise, or if students are lazy and want to sleep rather than go to Growl, they have no incentive to use their ticket or find another student to give it to. For example, less than two weeks before IRHApalooza, students had the opportunity to pick up tickets from *the University Box Office at no cost. The talent lineup, time, date and location were publicly known and advertised. Final numbers reveal that 5,000 student tickets were distributed, but only 2,500 individuals, not students, attended the concert. I will confess that I picked up eight tickets, but did not use any of them. If I had to pay a small fee for the tickets however, I would have picked up no more than needed. I had the opportunity to talk to students after the information session the Growl staff had Monday night, which sadly was in low attendance by senators. With the feedback I had gathered from students prior to Tuesday's meeting, I feel that my initial vote against the bill was for the best interest of all students at the University Paul Einselen is the summer replacement Student Senator for the Broward/Rawlings residence area. .New Treadmills.

8, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 PUBLIC SAFETY Cow sho ovrarln By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org An Archer man was Ar--% arrested for aggravated abuse and killing a cow Wednesday, claiming the animal posed a danger to his airplane. Frank Ogbom, of 3906 SW 154th St., shot a cow Trolano that wandered onto his property, fearing the animal would damage his plane, reports state. The Kitty Hawk Aviation owner allegedly admitted to shooting the cow owned by Ricky Buchholz, of 12614 SW Archer Road, three times with his .45-caliber handgun. The cow was on the facility's runway, though it did not seem to be causing damage to the property, Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Troiano said. Buchholz said he does not know how the cow left the property. "I wasn't there when the cow got out," Buchholz said. "The cow got out this weekend." Before resorting to his handgun, Ogborn tried to dismiss the cow from his property two other times, according to reports. Ogborn reportedly "shooed" the cow to no avail before grabbing his gun. The airplane was about three to four times the cow's size, Buchholz said. "What other reasoning can you have for shooting the damn thing," he said. Ogborn told officers that another deputy had previously told him he had the right to shoot the cow in order to protect his property, according to reports. The cow has gotten out before and has not caused any damage, Buchholz said. "All you have to do is walk towards it, and it'll run away from you," he said, adding that Ogborn had seen him herd his cattle by just walking behind them. Ogborn was arrested and charged with killing and aggravated abuse-of cattle. The cow, who survived the shooting, will be put to sleep at owner's discretion, reports state. The airplane sustained no damages. City art festival returns E MORE THAN 20,000 ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND THE FIFTH AVENUE ARTS FESTIVAL. By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer Local singers, dancers, stepping teams, painters and other artists will have their talent on display as more than 20,000 people are expected to converge on Gainesville's historic Fifth Avenue District this weekend to celebrate the city's diverse culture. The 26th annual Fifth Avenue Arts Festival in Gainesville is expected to draw people from all over North Florida, said NKwanda Jah, director of the Cultural Arts Coalition of Gainesville. "[The festival] started as a community activity to bring awareness to the culture of the African-American community and to reflect the economic history of the area," Jah said. The yearly event promotes the rejuvenation of the Fifth Avenue neighborhood he said. This year's theme, "We Must Survive in Order to Thrive," was inspired by the historic struggle of minorities in the area, he said. Rhythm and Blues artist, Jon B, who rose to fame in the 1990s and writes songs for popular artists like Toni Braxton and Az Yet, is scheduled to perform Sunday. "Believe me, it's all good."

"It doesn't make any sense." Audiences will like Astronautalis because his music can't be pigeonholed into one genre. It appeals to inulie rockers, country folk and the hip-hop Community; a product of the mix tape culture in which Bothwell and his friends grow up (a la "1-igh Fidelity"). "I try to make an amalgam of music that I would want someone to make for me," Bothiwell says. His music has been described as "country rap." Although Bothwell says he hopes it's more than just that. His lyrics aren't about "dropping it like it's hot" or "bling-blinging." It's about life -a poetic account of real issues anyone ran relate to, "I get my inspiration from everything: trains, trees, oceans," he says The only thing I'ye actively tried io avoid [in my lyr ics] is politics."

Faces behind TheFacebook.com talk future plans By ERIN CHALFANT Alligator Contributing Writer It all started in a dorm at Harvard, Two roonmates, Vark Zuckerburg and Dustin Moskovitz, returning for their sophomore year, had no idea'thes would drop out of the Ivy League, move to Cali fomia and start a Web site worth millions that 'eU u Thefacebook.com, launched in February 2004, now has an office, permanent employees and more than $12 million invested in stocks, as well as 2.6 million users a( 730 colleges across the nation, Moskovi tz said.

This summer, Thefacebook plans on doing some "aggressive hiring" with hopes of making a lot of tl'ings a lot better. Specifically, Moskovitz said he hopes to improve on groups and parties and make the system faster and more reliable. Devoted facebook fanatics everywhere rejoice. "It's addicting," said Ali Gonzalez, a sophomore at U "i have friends that spend hours on it." "I get to talk to friends that I haven't seen in years." First things first, what is Thefacebook.conm? "It's best described in contrast to other social networks," loskovitz said. le says most sites, such as Friendstercom, are open networks, but Thefacebook is closed. This ensures that users are tied together mainly by their schools; therefore, they are meeting people they already have something in common with. Unlike other larger social networks, students using Thefacebook are more likely to share a Mutual friend or have a class together "The other unique point of hicebook is its high penetration rate into select populations," Moskovitz said.

10, ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 FASHION A GO-GO 4' s, 'No butts about it!' B tt cleavage: hated r celebrated? Both guys and girls seem to straddle the line on this issue. A divide by any other name would call this trend lumber crack. The euphemism emerged in 2002 when fashionistas donning low-slung pants dared to bare a little more of the foulline. With this picnic of skin, some guys find a feast for the eyes while others find a less-enticing snack. Not all guys find it so. My friend Ryan said it only makes him want to give those girls wedgies. Brandishing a G-string in addition to the backeye-slit has lowered the bar for tackiness yet another notch. Ladies, do you actually think this looks good? At dinner the other night, I had the misfortune of sitting face to bum with a girl on a barstool whose cheeks were revealed for all to see. They were staring at me. I pondered the many ways this was unsanitary. If fashion condones it, it must be OK, right? Hmmm, I wonder if history will look as favorably -on butt cleavage as it does on acid-washed jeans and leisure suits. t Your "Fashion a Go-Go" calls this fashion a no-no. However, there is no doubt the ass is making a new statement -it's chic, it's mod, it's vogue. The flat booty-less wave of the '90s is a thing of the past. Thank goodness women no longer have to feel self-conscious about an ample derriere. Let's celebrate the fanny. But please, exercise caution. Some girls just don't know when to say when. Christine Remember, crack kills. Steffens -May I suggest a bit of self-censorship Fashion a Go-Go when it comes to superfluous skin folding seavenue@alligator.org over the waistband? I can guarantee you will thank me later. Like all things, I have a feeling that this fad too shall pass, much like the big, heavy metal hair of the '80s adorning my middle school yearbook pictures. Let's just hope you don't have to suffer the photographic evidence of this one. A&omic Wdgles' authors provoke lewd behavior Atoinic Wedgies, Wet Willies and Other Acts of Roguery Greg Tananbaum and Dan Martin I was a slightly timid, sheltered, little girl with very good manners. I did not know what a Dutch oven was. I wasn't aware that torture devices such as the hertz donut existed. Bathroom humor didn't make me laugh then and doesn't make me laugh now. But I'd be lying if I said Greg Tananbaum and Dan Martin's book, "Atomic Wedgies, Wet Willies and Other Acts of Roguery," did not impress me. What I find delightful about this book is the balance of practicality and absurdity within each entry. It's similar to "The Worst-Case Scenario" series, only with wedgies. Tananbaum and Martin list 52 "acts of roguery" in alphabetical order. They provide definitions for each act, like the flour shower. While the intended victim is taking a shower, the rogue holds a sack of flour over the shower and -covers the victim in a sticky white paste. They even have a pronunciation key so you can pronounce purple nurple without embarrassment. Entries also offer diagrams for visual learners, and rankings for each entry that measure the degree of pain, annoyance, embarrassment and difficulty. For example, when performed correctly the flour shower causes Jayme a low degree of pain (2 Gough out Of 10), a high degree, Off the Press of annoyance (a perfect theavenue@alligator.org -10), some embarrassment (4) and is rather difficult to carry out (9 on the difficulty scale). Based on your skill and level of sadism, you can determine which act of roguery is right for you. The authors include tips for execution. For instance, did you know when executing a noogie on a tall person, you should wait until the person is seated or hunched over -like when the victim is tying his shoes. Not to leave victims of roguery defenseless, Tananbaum and Martin list possible countermeasures for each attack. They suggest victims take a proactive stance. Wearing "a sturdy wool cap provides a simple and fashionable defense against the Noogie." This is a great book for the amateur prankster, the defenseless victim or that special someone who left his heart on the elementary school playground along with some kid's tightie-whitie waistband. ETAM RANT REVIEW DiVe dishes whole food A ,Iiuo get in touch with my inner ACR, I hit up Home On The At first glance, if you're not over 40 years old, male and reading the paper, this hole-in-the-wall brunch place isn't for you. They've got simple breakfast dishes anyone could whip up at home. -Their 1950s mismatching flatware and d cor scream "I'm at Grandma's!" After a few minutes of soaking up the vibe, it turns out to be Grandma's with a twist. You can hear and see everything going on in the kitchen, and the service is casual. But one thing doesn't match the laid-back, home-style ambiance -the prices. Just one egg with toast and grits runs a whopping $3.95. Clearly, the overhead isn't the culprit of the steep prices -so what is? Range buys its produce from local growers. Knowing that most of their veggies are fresh and locally grown makes me see it more like a southern caf6. Its board of specials offers about eight seasonal entrees based oi what's fresh. They also change their soups depending on what's available -gazpacho in the summer and hot stews in the winter. Range hits the spot for the wealthy, vegetarian cowboy. Breakfast is mostly anegg or tofu dish with some kind of healthy Southwest twist. -The Tex on Toast has basic scrambled eggs and wheat toast, topped with black beans, salsa and cheddar, creating a tasty breakfast sandwich for Jillian $4.95. Caballero While I found Finger Lickin' it surprisingly theavenue@ailligator.org good, let's get one thing straight -lettuce and tomaio don't belong on a soggy break fast sandwich. I tried the Vegetable Tart for lunch, consisting of about six layers of thinly sliced veggies piled on a mediocre pie crust, baked and topped with sour cream. It came with-green beans and a small romaine salad. I found the "Chicken Kitchenesque" curry-mustard dressing and mushy tomatoes disappointing. Also, serving a half-pound of lettuce on a 4-inch plate is not the best move. Most of my salad ended up on the table. While the food was bland, I felt good about supporting local farmers. Range provides fresh, healthy dishes for Southwestern vegetarians. If you're looking for waffles and bagels, they're not here. Home on the Range is located at 401 NE 23,1 Ave. Leave your debit and check cards at home. The Range only accepts cash and checks. ollowing a current trend of such -movies as "Magnolia" and "Crash," "Intimate Stories" accomplishes audience intrigue by intertwining the lives of three main characters. "Everyone believes in something, though we all go about it in different ways," are the words of a song in the picture, which wrap up Carlos Sorin's artistic and delicious sliceof-life film. The film is about a journey. Maria, a shy wife and mother, Don Justo, a quirky old man, and Roberto, a rather lovable, if eccentric salesman, are all traveling to San Julian from Fitz Roy, a small town in Southern Patagonia. They are each looking for something else, from a concrete prize, to a dog, to the ultimate -love. The characters are content, as is the audience, to continue without any dramatic occurrence. This refreshing realism helps to make the film a delightful vignette. Without any direct conflict, the characters are all searching for something, things don't necessarily work out according to plan and, without batting a lash, they learn to compromise and be content. Their separate voyages, desires and lessons softly mingle along the road and create a beautiful narrative. The characters' differences also blend rather stoically along the way. Maria, played by Javiera Bravo, does nothing more than smile when she wins a spot on a big game show. Antonio Benedictis, as the character Don Justo, refuses to reveal his intense loneliness until just before the end -even then maintaining his unwavering expression. Roberto, performed b-y -Javier Lombardo, is calmly Erin nervous about impressing Chalfant a woman he likes. Curtain Call The characters slowly eavenue@alligator.org reveal their intimate stories as talesthat are simultaneously, warm and heartbreaking. The scenery of the countryside also lends to the quietude of the characters and the resulting mood of the movie. Sorin wants to remind his audience that we can enjoy even the most uneventful parts of life. Simplicity is praised in this single-minded glimpse of life. Facial close-ups, ears that wiggle and trick candles are the details that make this-movie tick. The secondary characters encountered along the way also add to the warm-hearted theme. These pure souls are striking in their willingness to help the main characters succeed. The good-natured biologist, the numerous bakers and even the highway patrol all leave the audience with an optimistic sense of human oneness and goodwill. "Intimate Stories" will show at The Hippodrome from May 27 to June 2. If it's not what you expected, don't be disappointed -it may be something better in disguise. Hipp offers intimate' diSp Fayk

Then, my cheese-head-dating friend said ti me, "You know, you're the only one at this table not in a relationship. You should work on that." My first thought: "I should work on that." Then I thought back on the series of men I had met in the past.

The band Spellbox is composed of Mysti Dawn and Shawn Spencer -two people who play as one, sound like 5 and captivate all. Dawn rocks the guitar and Spencer rules the mandocello -a rare breed of mandolin he builds himself. There's no doubt that Dawn's voice ranks high among the stars, comparable to Janis Joplin with a Tori-Amos-inspirational feel. Combined, the duo attacks the stage in a synchronous brilliance without one flaw of miscommunication. Their album, "Egyptian Death March," is worth adding to your collection of Gainesville bands that actually made it. Spellbox toured to Las Angelas and back -returning to Gainesville last April. Look out for their new album, "A Long Way to Rock." The album is a work in progress with help from Tenacious D's Kyle Glass. .Spellbox is a true rock band, acoustic yet electrifying, They earn their name by brewing pained emotion with satirical humor and honest love, casting a spell upon the audience which is apparent by my goose humps and possibly a tear of awe. Check them out Friday at Tim and Terry's and Saturday at the Shamrock. Ferrell sends fans kicking, screaming ill Ferrell's wacky antics have become, for heater or worse, a staple of modern movies. He's self-referential, repetitive and often takes the easy way out with slapstick. It's a formula that needs a lot of substance to feel satisfying. .So it's not surprising that Ferrell's latest venture into family-oriented cinema, the Bob Dylan's son-directed "Kicking and Screaming," doesn't seem to move anywhere. -Despite good etorts from some big names and ever trick in Ferrell's book, too many jokes fall flat for the film to be taken seriously. Forrell plays Phil Weston, basically a grown-up version of his Spartan Cheerleader character from "Saturday Night Live," He owns a vitamin shop downtown, drives a gas-saving car and his a loving wife and son. (Incidentally, the child looks nothing at all like its parents.) 1-e's sat on the bench, literally and figuratively, for most of his life,. especially when compared to his father, Buck (a tepid Robert Duvall), who has an exasperating competitive streak. So' competitive, in fact, that he doesn't play his grandson on the peewee soccer team he coaches. Phil decides to take action, taking on coaching duties for the most inept squad in the league. Phil's not a fighter, so he enlists the help of Mike Ditkla and a corollary coffee addiction to turn the boys around. Yeah, that's right. Mike Ditka. He's not terrible, but it's hard to hold him to the standard of any old actor. He's just Ditka, and he receives a bunch of screen time as Phil's vengeful assistant. So many areas of interest are unexplored while "Kicking" meanders through 96 'minutes of Ferrell that it can become painful to the continuita' lover. For instance, Buck's much-younger wife (Musetta Vander) is introduced as a Latina vixen but is written -and played -so weakly that her intended fire has no purpose. Notice the soccer players haven't been mentioned yet, because they don't figure too much into the plot. The really good movies in the badkiddie-team-makes-good genre, like "The Bad News Bears," focus on the kids' eccentricities for. most of the humor. But in "Kicking," the spotlight's all on Ferrell, and it doesn't matter how well the children or the other adult stars pull off their roles. Mike It's also Ferrell Gmignani cut and marketed Reel Life directly to young audiences, which doesn't work well, especially for those who remember his turns in racier movies such as "Anchorman." Of course, there are people who find his -wide-eyed thrashing so hilarious that he can do no wrong -and there's enough in this film to keep them happy. Only at the extreme end is there a joke so blatantly self-referential (from "Anchorman") that it can send even the casual Ferrell fan into fits of laughter as they leave the theater. But the moment passes, like one of the many awkward run-on jokes throughout the film, and we're left either wanting more or far, far less. he

12, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 Alkaline Trio w Vagrant Records Release date: May 24 ho gave Alkaline Trio permission to enter recording studio and spend thousands of hours producing its songs? That's exactly how their new album, "Crimson," sounds. Overdone. Few fans will recognize it even as an Alkaline Trio album. Sure, they still have the depressing death lyrics but what I'd like to know is where did the punk guitars go? They've been replaced with sound effects and a piano. The first song on the album -including their first single "Time to Waste"begins with a piano intro that just sets the tone for a lack of upbeat guitars. The next song, "The Poison," doesn't get any better. I had to double check, my compact disk player. I thought it switched to play "Queens of the Stone Age." At least the whole album doesn't sound manufactured. "Mercy Me" is one of the t few songs reminiscent of the Alkaline Trio we all know and love. Some other songs lend the album some credit like "Death Bed," "Settle for Satin" and "I was a Prayer." But don't get your hopes up. As the album goes on, after a run of a few great songs, "Prevent Amanda this Tragedy" Seyfang brings you back Playlist full circle to the avenue@aligator.org beginning. I know they still remember where-they come from. After all, -they still reference Chicago and San Francisco in "Mercy Me." The Trio should have just put all their experimental songs at the beginning or end. It makes it easier to skip that way. My suggestion: download "Death Bed," "Mercy Me," "Fall Victim," "I was a Prayer" and "Back to Hell." You won't have to suffer through the synthesizers and sound effects on the rest of the disk. If you're a true Alkaline Trio fan and you want to support them, buy the album May 24. -But don't say you weren't warned.

THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 13 AUDIOLOGY get smohsud Staff suggests smooth sounds Sunrise Over Sea The John Butler Trio Lava Don't be turned off by the scraggly appearance of this band's front man, John Butler. "Sunrise Over Sea" is a musthave for both the modern hippy and general listeners. Sure, he sneaks in some lyrics about karma and treating Mother Earth with respect, but he also talks about relationships and love. Butler's smooth vocals are backed by the unique sound of his band, which uses a double bass rather than a bass guitar. Listen to the track "Peaches & Cream" followed by "Zebra," and you'll get an idea of this band's versatility in both sound' and content. E. Von Dahl Killed the Locals The Matches 4, Epitaph This CD is a perfect addition to a punk rock listener's repertoire. You can't help but fall in love with The Matches' catchy and upbeat sound, although the energy from their live performances isn't quite as evident in their recordings. Their lyrics span from songs about touring to jailbait. In "Say 18," for example, "I got my fingers crossed/so say 18/lie through lip gloss/and say 18, tonight." Pre-approved for road trips and sing-a-longs. Decadence Head Automatica Warner BrothersDaryl Palumbo, formerly of Glassjaw, is the current front man for the pop/rock brilliance that is Head Automatica. If you expect the singer to sound as he did in his previous band, you may want to just pick up a Glassjaw CD. But for those of you who are open to a softer side of Palumbo, "Decadence" should be a new and happy beginning. Like the CD jacket cover of their debut album, Head Automatica is colorful, flashy and enticing. Although their music is categorized as a pop/rock, there's something edgy and uninhibited about the band that you. don't find in most other groups. And if you never pick up this CD, at least listen to the track "Beating Heart Baby," arguably a work of pure pop genius. -JUNE CAPPIELLO Facebook targets colleges FACEBOOK, from page 9 girl's number blindly, before he could anonymously check her facebook profile to make sure she was single and dug his kind of music first. Mark Zuckerburg, of Westchester, N.Y., started a small Web site for a laugh to find the hottest students at Harvard. The site, Facemash.com, was shut down within 12 hours by the administration. Citing privacy concerns, they also removed the school's online campus directory. In a Biblically reminiscent moment, Zuckerburg said he could rebuild a better site in only one week. Thefacebook.com launched the following week. Within the next week, half of the Harvard undergraduates had signed up and Zuckerburg enlisted his roommate, economics major Dustin Moskovitz from Ocala, to help move the site to other campuses. From then on Thefacebook.com grew wildly. "We never market anything," says Moskovitz. "Everything is word-of-mouth." Thefacebook crew selects schools to add based on requests from students. Their money is made from advertisers that want to target college students, including Ford Motor Co., Verizon Wireless and MasterCard, and from stock investments.

24 LLIGATOR U THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 Track --rin 8 STAFF REPORT UF men's track and field coach Mike Holloway announced the signing of eight athletes to National Letters of Intent. Afolabi Aromire, Jeremy Criscione, Chris Gilchrist, Eugene Martin, Kallinka Pitt, Kyle Pratt, Justin Taylor and Chris Thomas each signed letters of intent to compete for the Gators for the 2005-2006 season. "I am very excited about this incoming class," Holloway said. "We have covered all areas -sprints, field, distance -which is important to the continued success of the program." Aromire is considered one of the top 400m/800m runners in the nation. Criscione dominated Florida Class 2A state track and field meets during his stint in high school. One of the top sprinters in the country, Gilchrist has been hand-timed at 10.4 in the 100m and sports bests of 21.28 in the 200m and 47.4 in the 400m. Martin was one of the leading high jumpers in Florida in 2005. Taylor piled up six state titles in the last two seasons while competing for St. Joseph's Academy. Corsaletti: Lucky belt aids Gators in victory BASEBALL, from page 27 "He got a ball out over the plate that wasn't supposed to be there and LaPorta made us pay for it," Dunn said. Stetson (30-25) jumped out to an early lead in the third inning scored two runs on three hits against UF starter Stephen Locke to take a 2-1 advantage. Sophomore Jon Still doubled to left field to start the inning and scored on a double by sophomore Shane Jordan. Junior Brandon Paritz then delivered an RBI single to right center to move the Hatters in front. LaPorta snarecda line drive by Pruitt and stepped on first base to complete an inning-ending double play. Stetson increased its lead to 3-1 in the fourth on a run-scoring single by freshman David Golliner. Freshman Chris Johnson drew a walk lead.off and raced over to third on senior John DeStefano's oneCONT'ROL, from page 27 Chance.

UF Junior Darren O'Day relieved pitcher Stephen Locke and was greeted by Golliner's hit. For the third inning in a row, the Gators used a double play to work out of the jam. The Gators (35-18) will travel to Nashville, Tenn. at 10 a.m. today, not to return home for at least two weeks. Follciwing a crucial series at Vanderbilt, UF will head to Birmingham, Ala. for the Southeastern Conference Tournament. At stake during the next two weekends are the SEC All-Sports Trophy, SEC baseball championship and NCAA postseason invitations. UF sits at the top of the SEC entering the weekend and is almost guaranteed a spot in the NCAA tournament. UF has also put in a bid to host the first two rounds. Winning the SEC regular season championship or reaching the championship game of the tournament puts UF in position to host a Super Regional round in addition to the initial Regional bracket. Vanderbilt: From here on out, Vanderbilt will not have a nickname or mascot because of its lack of success in sports. Tickets will no longer be available for football games, because the team will play in an empty stadium. "Not having to prepare the stadium for fans will allow us to save money and build a new science lab," one official said. So, next time you find offense in the war chant, just remember that it could be a lot worse. But the Savages? That's plain racist. Unless, of course, they can prove the team is named after Fred Savage. That would make for an interesting mascot.

THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 E ALLIGATOk.25 Gators still consider Gamecocks a threat at NCAAs Kim Klement / Alligator Hamid Mirzadeh and the Gators will look to duplicate the success they had earlier against South Carolina in the NCAA Round of 16. By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@anligator.org Repetition can cause things to become second nature, and that's when something can go wrong. That is exactly what the UF men's tennis team hopes to avoid starting this Saturday at the NCAA Championships -in College Station, Texas. On Saturday, the No. 4-seed Gators (22-5) will play South Carolina (20-9), who upset Oklahoma State over the wepkend to make it to the Round of 16. The Gators defeated South Carolina 7-0 on April 16. If UF defeats South Carolina, a possible quarterfinal matchup would be against Florida State or Illinois, who has defeated UF four times in three seasons. When asked if he wanted the Illini in the quarterfinals, Coach Andy Jackson was careful not to look too far ahead. -'Would I like to play Illinois in the quarterfinals? Absolutely. I'd like to play anyone in the quarterfinals," he said. Jackson calls South Carolina a "known factor" because UF has played them so recently. But, he warns that just because the Gators swept the last meeting, it doesn't mean UF dominated. "A lot of times in tennis the final score can be deceiving because the individual matches can be really close," Jackson said. "When we beat South Carolina 7-0. we won three three-set matches. So if South Carolina wins those three matches, and we lose doubles, then they win." It may be tempting to think UF has a free pass into the next round after drawing the Gamecocks, but Jackson said his players expect a difficult match. "Our guys aren't expecting anything easy." Andy Jackson UF men's tennis coach "Our guys aren't expecting anything easy," he said. "The thing that we can control is that SC will be super prepared. They will be sharp, because it's pretty easy to play a team that the last time you played them you got beat 7-0." The Gators have a veteran team, but two freshmen have made their way into the lineup. Nestor Briceno and Greg Ouellette have spent their singles season on courts two and four, respectively. After standout junior Janne Holmia was out for the season after back surgery, the two became crucial to UF's success. Jackson said Briceno and Ouellette were two of the best college recruits in the country, and while their play is not surprising, the way they have done it is. "They have surprised me with the level at which they can nIke a contribution," Jackson said. "Did I think they were going to have the records and be able do what they've done, particularly making up for losing Holmia? I wouldn't have expected that. That would have been too much pressure on them."

But the Gators don't truly have an attitude problem, they just need to buckle down and get back to the fundamentals of softball, Johns said. Only then will the mental adjustments fall into place. Broken down technically, this week's preparation is quite simple. "Early in practice we've been working fundamentals, but then we move into the situational stuff," Johns said. "We're putting the team under a lot of stress with live runners, live balls flying at them, forcing them to communicate." John's players have completely bought into this system of simplified goals and fundamental preparation. "In the SEC tournament, we couldn't put things together. We played sloppy defense and we couldn't get runs when we needed them," pitcher and designated player Mandy Schuerman said. "Practice has been intense and we've worked really hard this week; the mental mistakes will correct themselves. "As a team leader, I've got to keep everyone focused. But that's not really a problem because everyone knows what they need to do now." "I don't think that our problems are as much physical as they are mental" second baseman Lindsay Norfleet said. "Practice reps will definitely help, but more so than that, the girls just need to mentally prepare on their own; they need to figure out what Graham Hunley /Alligator Coach Karen Johns addresses her team during a Southeastern Conference Tournament game last weekend.

26, ALLIGATOR I THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 NCAA MEN'S AND WOMEN'S GOLF Senior leadas UFinto 12th spot I THE MEN'S TEAM WILL START NCAA PLAY TODAY. STAFF REPORT For the first time all spring, the fab four UF first-year golfers are actually playing like freshmen. Jt, only took college golf's grandest stage, the NCAA Championship, to trip up Tiffany Chudy, Whitney Myers, Sandra Gal and C.J. Kim, the highest-rated freshmen group according to Golfstat. Instead, a senior paced the Gators in the opening rounds. Led by Andrea Vander Lende, the UF women's golf team is in a tie for 12th following Wednesday's -second round. Auburn and Pepperdine hold the lead at +18 on the Meadow Course in Sunriver, Ore., 19 shots ahead of the Gators. That deficit would be greater if not for Vander Lende, the only UF golfer in the top 20. She collected five birdies over her first 36 holes, finishing on Wednesday at 5-over-par in a tie for 14th, just three shots behind the lead pack of four golfers. But the senior's strong play didn't rub off on the UF freshmen. Chudy fired the low rounds among the quartet on both Thesday and Wednesday, but a first-round 74 followed up with a 75 puts her in a tie for 23rd at 7-over-par. Kim remains three shots behind Chudy after recording rounds of 75 and 77, placing her in a tie for 53rd. Gal and Myers, the two hottest UF golfers during the postseason, struggled during the first two days. Gal, who led UF with a tie for tenth at the NCAA East Regional, combined rounds of 79 and 78 to total +15 and finish tied for 94th. The runner-up at the Southeastern Conference Championship, Myers entered Wednesday tied with Gal, but shot a 9-over-par 80 to fall into a tie for 109th. MEN'S GOLF: The UF men's golf team will start play in the NCAA East Regional today, held at The Golf Club of Tennessee in Nashville. The Gators are seeded third behind Georgia and Georgia Tech. UF will have to finish in the top 10 out of 27 teams to advance to the NCAA Championships, held at the Caves Valley Country Club in Baltimore, from May 31-June 3. The Gators have fared well at the region championships in, recent years, having placed among the top five teams in 12 of 16 region championships and also in five of the last seven. UF has two region championships to its credit after winning the East title in 1992 with a 10-over 874 at the event in Hamilton, N.Y., and also taking home the East title in 1989 in North Myrtle Beach, S.C., with a score of 872 (+8).

Outdated names deserve review In the ever-growing war between UF and Florida State for state supremacy, an odd turn of events could give the Gators a leg up in the heated rivalry. In a possible, albeit unlikely, scenario, FSU may be forced to drop the Seminoles nickname. Talk about a nasty blow to garnet-and-gold pride. An NCAA executive committee will evaluate the 30 teams in the NCAA that use Native American nicknames and mascots before deciding whether it will force the teams to adapt new names. Rumor has it that the governor is already lobbying to rename the Tallahassee-based team the Jebs! (exclamation mark included). In the end, this is just another example of political correctness gone out of whack. With the exception of the Southeast Oklahoma State Savages (oops), most nicknames preserve the memory of Native American tribes that are all but extinct. But what would happen if we threw political correctness out the window and renamed teams whose nicknames seem simply outdated?

28, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005 Gators prepare for Round of 16 Whitney Benik is one of UF's three freshmen players that have held theteam together after would-be senior Alexis Gordon left. A UF HAS ALREADY MADE IT FURTHER THAN LAST YEAR. By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@alligator.org Rarely in sports does a team get a chance to right a previous wrong, but this year the Gators may have that chance. Both teams had top seeds and the first two rotmds at home. They even played teams from the same conference in the first round and a school from South Florida in the second. And this year, same as the last, the championships are being held in Athens, Ga. However, last year's team fell apart in the second round and never got a chance to defend their 2003 title. That changes tonight, when the'No. 2-seeded Gators (20-2) meet No. 15 Baylor (24-5) in Athens. The two teams have met before, but rain canceled their Jan. 22 match after UF swept doubles. Coach Roland Thornqvist said UF should have the edge in doubles, but the teams are evenly matched in singles. But for the next four days UF will play top competition, and fatigue could be an issue. Thornqvist has confidence that his squad will handle it. "On a physical level, we're ready for four days," he said. "That's not going to be the issue. It's, 'Are we good enough?' It's not, 'Are we fit enough?' We'll be the fittest team in Georgia, no question about it." The Gators' three freshmen have been tremendous this season, one season after losing three players that were key to UF's last national chainpionship. One of them, Whitney Benik, also thinks the team is ready for Athens. "I think we're as confident as we can get, defiustely," she said. "We've worked so hard, I don't think any team has worked so hard." With Alexis Gordon leaving prior to her senior season, Zerene Reyes is the only senior in a lineup dominated by youth. Thomqvist said Benik, along with freshmen Lolita Frangulyan and Alex Liles, have held up well. When UF could have taken. a year off to rebuild, they simply reloaded. One player who has stepped into a new role is junior Jennifer Magley. After playing behind Gordon on court two in 2004, Magley has embraced her new spot, compiling a 123 record in dual-match play Ranked fifth in singles nationally, she and Reyes are also ninth in doubles. Thornqvist said Magley's growth from playing on court six as a freshman to now has been big for UF. "I think Jennifer has done a tremendous job, stepping up playing one for the first time," he said. "And she's made a good transition in her career from six to two. You can be a very good player and be successful playing number two. But it's a big step to go play one in the [Southeastern Conference] and do what she's been able to do first time around."
